Listen: "Moves Like Jagger" Mac Miller Remix
Saturday, October 1st, 2011
Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" has become a HUGE hit. That obviously means it's time for a remix! This one features Mac Miller and it definitely sounds different as a hip hop track. What you think, better or worse than the original? -Krash

For almost two decades now, I have been very fortunate to work among many amazing clinicians, researchers, allied health practitioners, and advocates who share my passion for emotional eating, compulsive eating, and binge eating disorder education and recovery.
I am pleased to call attention to their talents, accomplishments, and ongoing contributions to the A Weigh Out Members' Circle. I hope you'll get to know them, too. Please read about us below.
Ellen Shuman
I am the founder and principal coach of A Weigh Out Life Coaching.
Since 1997, I have been coaching people who struggle with emotional, compulsive, and/or binge eating who wish to develop healthier ways to manage emotions that drive overeating. Since I coach by phone, I work with people who live anywhere in the world. (Through WellCentered Life Coaching, I also take on a limited number of people who do not have eating issues and would benefit from learning and mastering these same emotional management tools and skills.)
In 1993, I started Acoria ; an outpatient eating disorder treatment program in Cincinnati, Ohio, specializing in the treatment of emotional eating, compulsive eating, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder (BED).
Since founding Acoria and A Weigh Out, my responsibilities have included binge eating disorder research, program development, design and facilitation of workshops, teleseminars, professional trainings, management of day-to-day operation, and client intake— individual and group coaching with an emphasis on emotional regulation skill training, coupled with a health-focused approach. I offers free educational teleclasses to people who want access to the very latest research and effective recovery techniques.
I am also in recovery from a binge eating disorder, which started for me in childhood, long before we knew this disorder existed. Today, I know this subject inside and out!
Since 2011, I have served as President of BEDA; the Binge Eating Disorder Association…and in 2002 I co-founded the Academy for Eating Disorders "Health at Every Size" SIG, serving as co-chair for 10 years. I can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com and 513-321-4242.
Dr. Linda Bacon is a professor, researcher, author, and consultant. She is committed to educating people on the scientific evidence that underlies our understanding of weight. She combines her academic expertise and clinical experience to help people make connections between scientific research and practical application. She supports individuals in appreciating their bodies and developing nourishing and enjoyable health habits. She also provides health professionals and organizations with the education and tools to support their clients' journey. Dr. Bacon has multi-disciplinary training, including graduate degrees in physiology (specializing in nutrition), psychology, and exercise science. Dr. Bacon is the author of the 2010 book, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, www.lindabacon.org
Mary Boggiano, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University Of Alabama at Birmingham. She obtained her Ph.D. in Psychology at the UT El Paso and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Univ. of Cincinnati Medical College. She specializes in the behavioral neuroscience of eating disorders (EDS) and obesity. Her animal models of binge-eating are used internationally by academics and pharmaceutical companies to develop new drug therapies, identify brain and endocrine mediators of binge-eating, and investigated predisposing genes. Mary battled bulimia as a teen and young adult. Her recovery process has helped guide her animal research which has found that dieting, stress, environmental cues, and palatable food can change the brain's control of not only food intake, but food preferences, reward, and mood. She also developed a rat model that promises to tease out the genetic differences between susceptibility to binge-eating and to development of obesity with and without binge-eating. By finding striking parallels of binge-like behavior in rats, some human binge behaviors once chalked up to higher cognitive processes are now being viewed as more reflexive biological responses. She is active in peer support groups for eating disorders and is currently working on a multi-center study of anorexia nervosa aimed at identifying the genes underlying this deadly disorder. She and Ellen Shuman have published survey work highlighting the chaotic nature of binge-eating and underlying motivations. Her research has been funded by NIH and she was the first to receive a research award from the Natl. Eating Disorders Association. Dr. Mary Boggiano can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Deb Burgard, Ph.D. is a psychologist specializing in eating disorders, sexuality, and relationships. She is one of the founders of the Health at Every Size (HAES) approach, and creator of www.BodyPositive.com.
Dr. Burgard has been exploring the topic of women and their appetites since 1980. Deeply interested in both stigma and body image, and how people change culture and find a way to cherish the bodies they were taught to demonize, she uses these lessons in her clinical work with people suffering from various forms of body estrangement. She also is an engaging speaker, educator, and consultant.
Her research asks, what allows fat women to maintain their self-esteem and sense of empowerment in a world that deems them "out of control" and asks them to suppress their weight? What helps people of all sizes develop sustainable health practices that last?
She co-wrote Great Shape: The First Fitness Guide for Large Women in 1988, and has contributed to several major anthologies, including Feminist Perspectives on Eating Disorders, Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders, and The Fat Studies Reader.
She is the co-chair of the Health at Every Size special interest group within the Academy for Eating Disorders and co-author of AED's "Guidelines for Childhood Obesity Prevention Programs."
She serves on the Public Policy Committee of the Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH) and the Advisory Board for the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA). Deb Burgard, PhD, Los Altos, CA 94022, 650-321-2606, Photo by www.purkinjeblue.com

Jamal Crawford is back in town, which got me to thinking about the clip above. That was my very first game covering the Hawks as the AJC beat writer. It turned out it was a proper introduction to Crawford, who loved those big moments and wanted to deliver with crowd-pleasing flair. He always joked he had "street cred" among Hawks fans, and it was true.
In a way, Crawford might have been the best example of that what bugs stats folks about the Hawks: He could do things that confound the formulas. Viewed in the aggregate over the long term, Crawford's numbers seem pedestrian. But if you spent too much time picking at his weaknesses, you could miss that he often delivered in big games and important moments like the one above.
Think back to Atlanta's playoffs series victory against Orlando last season. The No. 1 story, as it should have been, was Larry Drew's successful Twin Defense against Dwight Howard. Crawford's performance during that series should have been a close second. The Hawks probably don't win without Crawford delivering all those daggers.
This befuddled Stan Van Gundy, a noted early adopter of advanced stats. I kept asking him if Atlanta's ability to make long 2s, the most inefficient shot in basketball, threw a wrench into his defensive philosophy. Van Gundy kept interrupting: "But it is an efficient shot for them." He marveled at Crawfor'd ability to make contested J after contested J. Van Gundy never did figure out how to stop Atlanta's perimeter-oriented attack, and Crawford was a key part of that. Didn't the book on the Hawks say they wilted when things got tough? Crawford didn't.
Crawford did it again during Atlanta's memorable Game 1 victory at Chicago. Alas, he couldn't keep it up once the Bulls started sending multiple defenders to crowd him. He did pretty much all he could do, which was to make quick decisions and keep the ball moving and hope others would to the same until Atlanta could get good shots. Joe Johnson didn't do the same, and Atlanta's offense bogged down in the face of Chicago's withering waves of defenders.
You can talk about Crawford's inefficient scoring but he was more efficient than Johnson last season. The same thing was true in 2009-10, when Crawford also produced points at a higher rate than Johnson. The dude put up numbers.
Of course, Crawford isn't Johnson's equal as a player, but he was effective (and fun) when Woody unleashed him as a designated scorer off the bench. Remember that Crawford''s rep before he arrived in Atlanta was that of a scorer on bad teams who played no defense. With the Hawks Crawford proved that, when properly deployed, he could be a key piece on a good team.
Obviously Crawford's defense has been subpar over his career. But I watched nearly every one of Atlanta's defensive possessions during the Orlando series on Synergy and, I swear to you, the Hawks' funky pick-and-roll defense would not have worked without Crawford doing his part. As the on-the-ball defender Crawford had to make up a lot of ground to get to Orlando's shooters, and he did it with an engaged and focused effort. It was Crawford on the big stage doing more than his history suggested he could do.
No doubt Crawford soured on his experience with the Hawks last season. Management told him he was part of team's "core" but then he was the only member of that group without a contract beyond last year. And then the Hawks basically told him they couldn't afford him last summer. You can agree with Atlanta's reasoning for not giving him a big contract (but also acknowledge how the team's earlier cap mismanagement led to that situation) while also understanding why Crawford didn't like it.
Eventually Crawford got with the program last season. That was true even after L.D. put Crawford in a play-making role that Crawford clearly wasn't comfortable with–he went on to post his best assist rate since 2003-04 while keeping his turnover rate low. Crawford's drop-off in production last season and the guards who flooded the free-agent market probably cost him a lot of money.
Now Crawford is off to a slow start with Portland but is there any doubt he's going to try to put on a show tonight like old times?
"I am sure Jamal is going to want to come in here and light us up," Drew said. "I do know that."
There was a mixed reaction among fans when the team made no real effort to re-sign him before he bolted for Portland. It probably fell along that efficiency/electricity divide. But there is little doubt Crawford will receive a warm welcome tonight from Hawks fans. He won them over with his big shots, flashy style and engaging personality. You can still see the love Hawks fans have for Crawford on his Twitter account.
And the preseason lobbying of management to re-sign Crawford by Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford illustrated how his old teammates feel about Crawford.
"I wish him nothing but the best but at the same time I want to win [tonight]," Smith said. "It will be good to see him and interact with him but when it's time to jump the ball he's just another opponent."
Look deeply into the stats and you can convince yourself that, over the long term, Crawford is just another shooting guard. But then you remember moments like my first game on the Hawks beat, and that Orlando series last season, and you realize that Crawford can confound the numbers and be much more than that.
(Leaving the previous blog open for voting through tomorrow.)

Good writeup MC, and this year, Sund has proven, not signing JC1 so far was a good decision. He did cost too much, but that is based on the rest of our roster, not JC1's value.
LD sounds like he is expecting JC1 to get a lot of shots up tonight.
January 18th, 2012
1:32 pm
I'm disappointed in you. You had a chance to ask Josh about his FT shooting…and you didn't (unless I missed it). Is he spending extra time shotting FTs after practice? Is he watching himself on film to see what he's doing differently? Is one of the assistant coaches working with him?
Prior to this year, his worst year was '08-'09 when he shot 59% from the line. His career average is 67%. But this year, he is at 49%.
T-Mac wants him to go to the line 8-10 times a game? If that happens, Josh will only make 4-5. And we've already lost at least 1 game (at Chi) due to missed FTs.

Section 303,
I think Marvin is a better player than Diaw. But I would trade for Diaw because Diaw's contract is expiring, whereas Marvin would still have 2 more years left. Trading Marvin for an expiring contract would give us an additional $7.5 mil in cap space next year.
With Horford injured, I would trade Marvin for any expiring contract.

Nice article for Jamal. He deserves it. Wish him the best and thanks for the highlights!
January 18th, 2012
1:39 pm
Vlad is a lower maintenance player. At 6′10 he can see and shoot over defense with ease and has the added effect of being able to rebound at a higher rate. Even though he;s not the best
low maintenance high efficacy is what Hawks need. We need to stop trying to hide players. Hide Marvin on offense. Hide Horford on defense. Hide Jamal on defense. Dribble dribble dribble.
If Jamal Crawford were 6′10+ he would have been a perfect fit.
Resigning smalls for offense dilutes the backcourt and would have been wrong. We need a spread shooter but we need size and defense in that player.
That is Sund's job. Find a 6′10+ Jamal. And a center.
7′0 Jamal Crawford (excessive dribbling not needed, stand in corner like Marvin and shoot)
True Center (Can any1 say Horford would have dominated Joel Anthony, Spencer hawes? perfect chance to trade)
and we win the championship.

MC,very good journalism here ;would have liked a quote from the subject but the description of Jamal's tenure is a really good read.
January 18th, 2012
1:43 pm
I'm one of those readers who was sorry to see Crawford go, but Drew seems to have gotten himself an entire second unit with the money. Portland, meanwhile, is now predicted to be one of the beasts of the West, and I hope they are, for Jamal's sake. As others have said, he deserves it. He's a class act.
January 18th, 2012
1:48 pm
"Management told him he was part of team's "core" "
What the hell is going on in Atlanta? Being a better shooter than Marvin does not make you part of the core.
You have to be low maintenance on defense and offense. Effective when plays aren't run for you. Erase mistakes.
January 18th, 2012
1:56 pm
We agree MC. Jamal was a great fit, but I think it was clear that his numbers were declining and it will be proved that it was a good time to part with him. Sure, we will miss him and his clutch shooting, but would he have been clutch much longer? I'm not sure. I think the Hawks did a great job of filling his position. The Hawks are fun to watch when the bench plays so well.
I agree that if we can trade Marvin for a Center whose contract is expiring that it will be a win-win for us. What do you think MC?
January 18th, 2012
1:56 pm
this article is a complete joke. I for one do not miss jamal crawford jacking up bad shots with 20 seconds left on the clock. He's gone , let it go. We now have more than one player coming off the bench who can score the ball, Jamal IS also a horrible defensive player, I don't miss him. sorry.
January 18th, 2012
1:57 pm
edit: being a better player than Marvin does not make you a core player unless you help a need on defense.
Vlad at 6′10 and active hands helps a bit playing a disruptive defense.
But shame on ASKG or DumbAzzStupidGroup for telling people they're needed when they're not.
They are trying to build an All Star Group or a Team?
This is what you do.
To Smith(SF/PF) and Joe(SG/PG) and Teague (PG/SG). Add pure Shooter (PF/SF) and Add pure Center(C).
That is how you build a team around tweeners. Marvin and Horford are nice guys but they are not pure shooters or a pure center. And they are too nice on the court. Sorry.
January 18th, 2012

Great write-up, MC. I sense a lot of emotion and passion in the content.

Barkley was picking portland to go to the finals. But We can beat them tonight. I dont think camby will play
January 18th, 2012
2:00 pm
TMac, Vlad-Rad and Willie Green collectively cost about half of what Jamal makes and none may have come here if they thought Jamal were going to get all of the shots from the second unit. Spending more than the MLE on a one-dimensional player is not a good idea. He had his moments, those are gone. He is currently averaging less than 13 points on less than 40% shooting. He'll score at least 20 tonight and then likely will score 7 in his next game. Whatever.
Go Hawks!
January 18th, 2012
2:01 pm
Nice write up but a tad sentimental.
"when properly deployed" is the crucial particle in the whole text.
http://www.82games.com shows that Jamal was pretty bad last year to close games (clutch stats).
I assume that the fact that he played PG during many of those minutes caused poor results and that he should not be blamed to some extent.
The PHO buzzer beater was an anomaly. Incredibly satisfactory, but an anomaly.
The ORL series was the best bball Jamal ever played in his life, but I would not tone down how poorly he played against CHI from game 1 onwards.
He was simply removed from the equation and hurt us badly every single second he was on the floor whilst JJ still steered us to that Game 4 win down the stretch after a monster game by Josh.
Jamal is an entertaining but highly fallible player. This is how I would describe Jamal in a nutshell.
I hope that bad Jamal shows us today and shoots his very frequent 2-12 and 0-6 with 5 TOs.
January 18th, 2012
2:03 pm
Jamal was great but we are better off without him. If he would play for free, we would still need a center. I have been impressed with Green.
January 18th, 2012
2:04 pm
Our biggest problem at the C spot is the fact that Al and Zaza (the two C's) do not have complementary characteristics.
Neither of the two is a shot-blocker/rim protector, neither is a forceful finisher.
Collins is a situational player and IMO a very good 3rd string C on a contender: you need a quality man to man post defender and most shot blockers / rim protectors nowadays are not good man to man.
Our ideal upgrade should be, obviously, replacing Al for a full fledged powerhouse all star C like Howard or Bynum, but that is not going to happen.
The logical move would be to either replace Zaza with a shot blocking C or adding such shot-blocking C to the roster with Zaza logging more minutes at the PF slot.
Zaza is 6′11" but due to his absolute lack of lift and relatively small wingspan, he plays like he is 6′8": he only looks and acts big but plays small.
(note: I like him)
The 2007/08 Kaman would be a perfect fit:
2007-08 LAC mpg37:12 fg%48.3 FTA3.6 FTM4.7 FT%76.2 oReb3.1 dReb9.6 RPG 12.7 ApG1.9 TO2.9 STL0.6 BLK2.8 PF3.2 PPG 15.7
But injuries have derailed him and his athleticism and conversely his blocks have gone down dramatically.

All NBA IS GONE FOR THE SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's not your savior Gearon!
Help! Help! Help!
Think of tonight's game as a simulated playoff game against one the more talented teams in the NBA and see how you stack up..Lets hope it does not turn out sorta like that Falcons MELTDOWN a couple of weeks ago against the Giants? Hmmmmmm……

Crawford has a player's option in his contract next year. He will likely audition tonight as an extra incentive.
January 18th, 2012
2:22 pm
I would rather add Benson, Rolle or some D-league shot blocker/ Rebounder, instead of deleting some rotation player from our bench.
January 18th, 2012
2:25 pm
@Smith.Leuer.Bogut – "If Jamal Crawford were 6′10+ he would have been a perfect fit."
If Jamal Crawford were 6′10+ he would have been Al Horford.
January 18th, 2012
2:28 pm
I agree but my concern there is LD playing that rookie. We all know LD hates to play rookies, look what he did to Teague and what he is doing to Ivan now. Ivan should be getting more minutes then he is getting because of his energy and defense but if it wasn't for Horford getting injured he would not even be getting the kind of minutes he is getting now.
January 18th, 2012
2:46 pm
If we don't get out of the first round of the playoffs this year, we will not be a better team without Jamal. Jamal was the reason we got out of the first round last year. His productivity will be missed come playoff time unless TMac can find a way to stay healthy enough to play major minutes in the playoffs. No other player on this team has the ability to get their own shot like Jamal did. TMac being healthy is our only hope to make any noise in the playoffs. The NBA playoffs are about big time players steppin up, and taking over games, and Jamal was a big time player. You all will understand his real value when we get to the playoffs, and can't score. As constrcted, TMac being healthy is or only hope. As much as I like Josh, I have no confidence in him being a go to guy in the playoffs. He is much too emotional.
Maybe you did not read MC's article. As I have told you before, Jamal won the Orlando series for us, and Chicago made him Public Enemy #1 in that series, and forced Joe Johnson, and Josh Smith to beat them in that series, and we see the result.
"Crawford did it again during Atlanta's memorable Game 1 victory at Chicago. Alas, he couldn't keep it up once the Bulls started sending multiple defenders to crowd him. He did pretty much all he could do, which was to make quick decisions and keep the ball moving and hope others would to the same until Atlanta could get good shots.

The No. 1 story, as it should have been, was Larry Drew's successful Twin Defense against Dwight Howard..
Really? Dwight's regular season average was 23, 14 and 2. Against the Hawks in the playoffs last year, he averaged 27 pts, 16 rebs, and 2 blocks, shooting 63% from the field.
So how was the defense against him successful?
I think what made us successful was Twin made Dwight work, so we didn't double, and as a result, we were able to shut down the 3-pt shooters.
January 18th, 2012
2:54 pm
MattP…More minutes for Ivan? Isn't he getting like 20min a game?
I think we need as many players as we can to make-up for what AL brought. If we lose Zaza, we lose toughness and rebounding. If we lose Marvin, we lose a solid wing defender and a decent shooter…I want LD to have as many options as possible.
I think LD has matured as a coach and if the player fills a need and earns his minutes, I think he will play him…..I HOPE.
January 18th, 2012
2:57 pm
Too Small!
We probably have the smallest front court of any play off team the past five years. Losing Al Horford only highlights that fact.
Al and Josh both opined last season they needed some help with size in the paint. The ASKG answer was, TWIN! And, he lost 25 lbs! OK, was less weight supposed to make him bigger? Or, was losing 25 lbs supposed to make him quicker on his feet? LOL! If Al and Josh said they needed help, does that translate to: resign what you already had?
Fellas, our most glaring hole is management, as always.
Aye Sund! Give us a going away gift before you leave: REPLACE Al now! IDK what you need to do? But, DO your job and figure it out before you leave! Your time here is up, (see contract expiration date). As far as coach Drew, he hasn't been given the length on his own contract to be developing any players. That's why Kito, Magnum 'nem had to go.
The ball is in ASKG's court now. We will go as far as they pay.

Maybe we can trade Kirk and Zaza for Ray Allen, once the Celtics are out of the hunt.
January 18th, 2012
3:04 pm
OB, I said the same during the series. D12 was having Wilt-like performances against Twin and all I read about was Collins' defense. Seems like the real story was forcing the other guys around Howard to beat us by playing D12 with a single defender.
January 18th, 2012
3:08 pm
With what we had out the past few games I do believe he should have had more minutes. Zaza does help in the middle at times but other times he is too clumsy. Wolves and Raptors game were good examples of him being clumsy and not helping.
January 18th, 2012
3:18 pm
I agree about Zaza and his clumsiness…I just want more bodies for match-ups.
January 18th, 2012
3:29 pm
That Ship has Sailed!
Sund should have got in on the Kendrick Perkins trade when the opportunity was there. But, as usual he sat in the bench and watched OKC send Jeff Green (a small) for the BIG – Kendrick.
Kendrick Perkins was the type of help Al and Josh was looking for. Not all these other scrub names that the Trader Joe's on this blog keep pulling out their azzes.
Like Doug and Ryan just surmised in the interview a few minutes ago with Jason Cole from Yahoo Sports, the Hawks are to small to when a title when you got the Lakers rolling out Bynum and Gasol in a 7 game series. Pipe dreams always go up is smoke. Just understand that this is Hawks team is NOT a contender and you will all be satisfied with the entertainment.

Since you are in the responding spirit, how about the question I asked on the last blog.
"•Drew said the starting lineup could be fluid depending on opponent: "That could happen. We are looking at matchups."
MC, can you please ask Drew why come hell, sleet, rain or snow, Marvin Williams is always in the starting lineup. Also ask him if he thinks Marvin derserves to be a starter. Thanks.

Some things to take away from Pillar of Defense
With the dust settling now in the Levant, it's becoming easier to get a picture of the who, what, when, where, and why of Operation Pillar of Defense. Here are some important takeaways from the last week.
- Make no mistake: This was a fight Israel wanted to have. Tensions were high throughout early November, culminating in an attack on an IDF Jeep on November 10. Israel responded with airstrikes, and the Gaza groups upped their rocket activity. By November 12, the militant factions signaled readiness for a truce. Netanyahu clearly did not want a truce on those terms. On November 14, he oversaw the assassination of the chief of Hamas's military wing, ensuring that a broader conflict would erupt. The assassination of Jaabari was an intentional escalation on the part of Israel, who saw the reigning "ceasefire" regime as weak and in need of a shakeup.
In addition, it is clear that Hamas's stockpile of Fajr-5 missiles was a source of major concern for Israel. About a month ago, IAF jets took out a facility in Sudan that was probably full of these longer-range missiles. They would be smuggled through Egypt and into Gaza for Hamas's use. Then, in the hours after Jaabari's assassination, Fajr-5 launchers were the highest-priority bomb targets for the IAF's first wave of strikes. Although Iron Dome has somewhat neutralized the threat from the Fajr, Israel clearly believes that they represent an unacceptable level of danger for Israeli.
- The Iron Dome system did both of its critical jobs: protect Israeli civilians from rocket fire, and preserve freedom of action for the Israeli government. Although not perfect, Iron Dome performed admirably in combat. It intercepted at least 342 rockets that would have landed in settled areas, including in the Tel Aviv area. By keeping Israelis mostly secure from the Palestinians' main weapon, Netanyahu was able to delay—and then shelf—a costly ground operation in Gaza. Iron Dome is expensive to operate, but it has proven to be worth the cost. ($275 million in U.S. funding doesn't hurt, either.) It is rumored that South Korea is now looking at purchasing the system to defend against short-range North Korean missiles.
- Netanyahu did a better job than I thought he would. When I anticipated the announcement of a ceasefire on November 14, and instead heard that Israel took out a senior Hamas leader, I was convinced it was Bibi at his worst. He had attempted assassinations on Hamas leaders before, even when the tactical benefit was dwarfed by the strategic cost. (The most egregious example was in 1997, when he poisoned Khaled Meshaal on Jordanian soil. An enraged King Hussein got Bill Clinton on Netanyahu's case. Netanyahu then flew the head of the Mossad out to Amman to deliver the antidote. Netanyahu then had to release Hamas "spiritual leader" Ahmed Yassin to get the Mossad agents out of Jordan.)
As I discussed above, the blowback from the assassination was intended. Even so, Netanyahu was cautious. He demonstrated to Hamas that he had a wide range of options at his disposal by getting his cabinet to authorize the call-up of 75,000 reservists—enough manpower to, in theory, eject Hamas from its seat of power in Gaza. But he did not rush in with a ground invasion, recognizing the tremendous political and human costs that kind of operation would exact. He may have waited too long to sign a ceasefire, as people died today who would not have had a ceasefire been signed yesterday. Israel's operational objectives were met already, which made the hang-up in arranging the ceasefire very frustrating for people outside the government.
- There's one clear loser in this affair: Mahmoud Abbas. He has been busy campaigning for the Palestinian cause at the UN and other symbolic gestures. His total irrelevance to the conflict lays bare how weak the Palestinian Authority is. Worse, Israeli leaders seem not to care. Netanyahu's policies often end up politically strengthening the elements he wishes to weaken. That's fine if he's willing to deal with Hamas politically, but he doesn't seem to be.
- Relatedly, Israel still has no long-term strategy for dealing with Hamas. Stripping Hamas of long-range weaponry is a clear operational objective, but it is not a strategic one. The Palestinian Authority is not about to retake the Gaza Strip, so the only elements left in contention are Hamas and the Salafi radicals. Netanyahu sooner or later is going to have to develop something resembling a vision for Gaza beyond permanent containment. He also can't continue to weaken Abbas and then claim Abbas is too weak to be a peace partner. The word for that is chutzpah.
Time for realpolitik to return to Israel
Israel's early generations of leaders were gifted with a strong pragmatic instinct that stood out in a region where self-deluded demagogues made one foolish move after another. Lately, however, Israel's political elite has been abandoning sensible thought for a strange combination of alarmism and bravado. A look at Bibi Netanyahu's approach to each of the major challenges and opportunities in front of him reveals a continuing paralysis coupled with a mentality of denial and wishful thinking.
To take one important issue, Israel is treating the Arab Spring all wrong. Israeli leaders are right to note the potential downside to a new Arab political environment. However, this should not be their public face; they need to engage positively with the Arab world, even if it is not reciprocated immediately. That means Netanyahu should stop referring to the events as moving the Middle East "backward." Such a verbal champion of democracy should know better than to condescend Arabs by calling their desire for a representative government "illiberal." This is hypocrisy.
What's worse, Israel's own claim to democracy is getting muddied by fascistic elements who bear no respect for the rule of law. The "price tag" campaign of sabotage — borderline terrorism — against Palestinians has now also become an insurgency against the state itself. In the year 2011, more acts of terror were committed by Jews than by Palestinians in the West Bank. Although Netanyahu and his defense minister may grasp the necessity of disrupting the movement, they desperately must confront an even grimmer reality: that 70% of the country's national-religious and ultra-Orthodox approve to some degree of the attacks, as well as 46% of the country as a whole. That kind of attitude is unhealthy for a liberal society.
Meanwhile, there is a deeply uncomfortable realization that must set into Israeli minds: The Palestinian future will include Hamas. The Palestinian Authority has failed to realize its political aims time and time again, and at the same time Hamas is gaining friends in the Middle East. Add the rise of Islamists in Egypt and Syria's downward spiral, and geopolitics has encouraged Hamas's movement into the mainstream. Hamas leaders are not ready to signal a true strategic departure toward non-violence, but a number of forces are subtly changing the group's cost-benefit calculus toward moderation.
Israel, rather than hiding from these developments, must grab the bull by the horns. Specifically, it should test Hamas's intentions by using the other Arab states as intermediaries. Although these Arab states are mostly focused inward on feeding their populations, I am certain that an Israeli request to meet secretly with Hamas leaders would command attention. If Israel felt uncomfortable linking Hamas too closely with Egypt, countries like Qatar or Tunisia might be able to serve as substitutes.
According to some recent reports, Hamas leaders are quietly contemplating a switch to non-violence. If that is the case, then a back channel with a trustworthy Arab government would be the perfect way to learn about it — both for Hamas and for Israel. Hamas seeks regional legitimacy, while it would behoove Israel to establish positive relations with the new governments of the region.
It is not clear that Hamas is ready to become a responsible actor yet. That is why Israel should keep these conversations out of sight for now. But it is also not clear that there will ever be a better time to "trap" Hamas in a non-belligerent mindset. That is why sitting back as Hamas determines its future without any Israeli input is strategic folly for Netanyahu. That Israel would have to imagine negotiating with Hamas does not seem fair at all. But most of the hard decisions Israel has made in its history were not made because they were fair, but because they were prudent.
What's new with Salaam Fayyad these days?
Two related stories in the news recently caught my eye. First, Israel Central Bank governor Stanley Fischer's bid to head the International Monetary Fund picked up the endorsement of Salaam Fayyad, who'd worked at the IMF for years before entering Palestinian politics. He commented that Fischer is "supremely qualified for the job. Indeed, it's difficult to see how one can be more qualified."
To me, this is what is different about Fayyad — he doesn't tie the Palestinian aspiration of independence to the automatic denigration of anything Israeli. Two years ago, commentators said Fayyad was clever but politically unknown. Today, he is the most popular and effective leader the Palestinians have. Fayyadism represents the best chance for their statehood.
Fayyad's non-zero-sum approach is one reason why Hamas opposes his nomination to be the Prime Minister in a Fatah-Hamas unity government. (Mind you, Fayyad is not even a member of Fatah.) If Hamas is as pragmatic as its apologists claim, then they will certainly revert course and back Fayyad.
Calling all Israel advocates! Danger ahead!
I'm fairly unhappy with the pro-Israel community in the United States. (I refuse to blame simply the "lobby," for it assigns the pro-Israel community too much coordination and ignores non-expert opinions.) Many of the people with whom I've sided in the past (positions I do not renounce) appear dreadfully shortsighted these days. They have fallen for Bibi's act, unaware of the danger in which he is placing Israel and too readily believing that the Obama administration is making radical shifts in Middle East policy. I can see for the first time how center-right Zionist voices are castigating the left and center-left in irresponsible ways.
If there was one kernel of truth in Peter Beinart's NYRB essay last year, it was that mainstream Jewish voices haven't vocally confronted the disturbing rise of some deeply unsavory influences on Israeli politics and society. Beinart partially attributed a weakening of Israel's liberal character to demographic shifts — including the exponential growth of Haredi Jews and post-Soviet immigrants. (This is difficult to dispute.) And yet Ron Kampeas of the JTA is seeing conspiracy where there is none:
Matt Yglesias, at Think Progress, writes about the Daily Caller op-ed in which Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Gevalt) castigates American Jews for not being his kind of American Jew. … But Yglesias seems to have contracted Walsh's unseemly "they're all alike" affect in this passage:
Israeli politics has drifted toward the hawkish right over the past ten years even as Jewish Americans remain on the progressive left. That change in Israeli politics, meanwhile, has been in part driven by a demographic shift away from the kind of secular ashkenazi Jews who predominate in the American population.
Say what? Ashkenazim have a genetic predisposition toward liberal democracy?
Yglesias said nothing about any "genetic predisposition." What he said is that secular Ashkenazi Jews, who make of a large proportion of American Jewry, tend to have more liberal views than the demographic groups mentioned before.
Beyond failing to raise concerns about Israeli attitudes, staunchly pro-Israel elites in this country (save for a few brave souls, like Jeff Goldberg and even Leon Wieseltier) have yet to call out Bibi Netanyahu for leading Israel into an abyss. Netanyahu is the most passive of Israeli leaders, aimless and meandering. He is a master of tactics and an amateur in strategy. In this respect, his leadership style resembles Yasser Arafat.
In a few months, Israel will be presented with bad options and will have saved itself no goodwill against which to make its decisions. The Palestinians might declare statehood at the UN, placing America to take a huge fall for Israel by vetoing it. Alternatively, the Palestinians will face their people at the conclusion of Salaam Fayyad's two-year state-building initiative and have no diplomatic achievements to show for it. In either of the above scenarios, a third intifada is a strong possibility: 70% of Palestinians expect one if diplomatic processes fail. (And a third intifada could well strain the U.S.-Israel relationship to the breaking point.)
The world is not generally charitable to Israel, but the wind is at the Palestinians' backs more now than ever. Bibi's failure to make Israel a credible peace partner has in effect saved the Palestinians from becoming one themselves. So Netanyahu has the next few weeks to roll out a policy that could stave off disaster. It would have to go beyond the token gestures of the past like releasing prisoners. He instigate a modest handover of territory in the West Bank from Israeli security control to Palestinian control (making more Area A and less Area B), or make a serious offer to resolve a core issue of the conflict (borders being the easiest). It's hard to imagine anything else placating the PA, if even that will. But the alternative — doing nothing — is a surefire way to get all the wrong results.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of statehood
Fatah and Hamas have signed a sure-to-be-temporary unity government, adding yet more complications to Israeli-Palestinian relations in the coming months. Jeff Goldberg is on target:
1. Prime Minister Netanyahu has some breathing space. He can claim, with more legitimacy than he had earlier this week, that Israel is under siege; this will stabilize his coalition, and possibly even bring in the opposition leader, Tsipi Livni, to his coalition;
2. It's not good that Netanyahu has breathing space. Breathing space, for him, means paralysis in the peace process (so-called). Israel must find, now — not later, but now — a formula that will allow it to withdraw its settlers from beyond the security fence, and to create conditions for the emergence of, at the very least, a more autonomous Palestinian entity, one that would become independent as soon as Israel can figure out a way to neutralize the Iranian threat.
3. The Third Intifada might be only a matter of months away. The first intifada was one of stones; the second, suicide bombers on buses. This next one will be the Intifada of rockets. I think it's coming.
4. It is not Hamas that is changing. It is the Palestinian Authority, which is sidelining Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, the man most responsible for bringing the Authority the international credibility it needs to declare independence. This is not to say that Hamas is all-powerful; it is watching with trepidation as its second-most important ally, Bashar al-Assad, appears in danger of losing his throne, which would not be a bad thing for anyone except the Assad family.
This is absolutely correct. The Fayyad initiative places Israel in a very precarious position internationally by stealing the high ground and the momentum. Bibi's non-policies and Fayyad's promise could easily have convinced Europe to back unilateral statehood in the West Bank with eventual expansion to Gaza. This would have made life extremely difficult for President Obama, who would appear to be singularly responsible for lack of Palestinian statehood.
But, in the typical Palestinian way, they have stunted their momentum and given cover for the wrong elements in Israel. I would have been tempted to encourage the Quartet to find a creative way to get the Palestinians statehood later this year assuming steady progress in the West Bank and no serious initiatives from Bibi. Now, I cannot in good faith support immediate statehood. Their right to statehood does not outweigh Israel's right to secure borders, a right which Hamas denies them.
Like Goldberg, I fear for the hard-earned progress Fayyad has made in the West Bank. I fear that it will be enveloped by violence. By way of historical analogy, a comparison can be made to the summer of 2000. The "interim period" set out under the Oslo Accords had ended, meaning negotiations were only supposed to take place under the realm of "final status" — for the Palestinians, statehood. Thus, expectations were high leading into the infamous Camp David Summit in July. The bitter disappointment stemming from that summit fueled the second intifada ten weeks later.
I pray we are not witnessing a repeat. PM Fayyad's two-year statehood initiative ends in September. What could instead have been a pressure-cooker strategy to make Netanyahu withdraw/delineate boundaries/do something useful instead has been ruined by Hamas. It is not inconceivable that we will see an intifada in 2011 — the diplomatic effects of which would be catastrophic for the United States.
A semi-defense of the UNSC resolution on Israeli settlements
I must admit to feeling wobbly regarding the UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlement activity as "illegal." I ended up supporting the American veto, but only reluctantly. Here are Jeff Goldberg's thoughts:
1) All of you who tell me, when I'm giving speeches or speaking on panels, that President Obama is an enemy of Israel, could you please stop your nonsense for a while? Thank you.
2) It would be very nice if Prime Minister Netanyahu would reciprocate this enormous show of good will and confidence, by, oh, stopping settlement growth. Here are some other things Bibi could do.
3) Why couldn't the U.S. convince the Palestinians to withdraw this resolution in the first place? Don't we fund the Palestinian Authority government? This resolution, while emotionally satisfying to Palestinians, achieved nothing, except annoying the two countries — Israel and the U.S. — that the Palestinians most need to bring about the creation of a state.
I agree with point 1 and point 2, but I take slight issue with point 3.
American credibility is lower than ever. There was no cost to ignoring the U.S. on the issue, because Obama has never really explained the costs of ignoring his wishes. The lack of American credibility also increases the PA's desperation to show its people that it's agitating for statehood. Absent American underwriting of any positive steps, the UN is there next avenue. I don't expect Israelis to find the resolution helpful, but I understand the Palestinian impulse to feel like they have to do something.
Cracking the whip on Israel and the PA: Some concrete ideas
As I mentioned last week, the next American policy toward Israel and the Palestinians should be much more comprehensive in its consideration of possible behavior and outcomes. What I suggested was to link a set of policy ideas together — ideas which would form a script for the Obama administration depending on the actions of the players in the region.
The new script must spell out for each side what the benefit of cooperation and the price of intransigence are. Things get a little involved, so I have a diagram to illustrate what I mean. I will explain it below.
So what's this unwieldy chart mean?
First, it begins with the formulation of the new policy. This refers to the preparation of the policy and its supporting bureaucratic structure. In other words, this needs to be a script that's understood and followed by the president on down. It also includes, as I mentioned before, the replacement of George Mitchell as Middle East envoy.
The second step is the articulation of this blueprint to the parties. It would be unwise to simply hand over the playbook to the Israelis and Palestinians. However, the U.S. can make clear that it will not be afraid to incur costs against those who don't cooperate.
The general message to the Israelis is that if they can't see it within themselves to freeze settlement construction once again — despite the large package of inducements the U.S. offered — or provide the Palestinians with a concession of equal value, then they should not take for granted American public support. In practice, that might mean not working as hard to protect Israel in international fora, such as in circumstances when the U.S. is at odds with the rest of its Western allies (as opposed to when the West is united in supporting Israel).
The Palestinians should be treated similarly. Notice that a number of arrows point to "Palestinian compliance" on the chart. That's because one of the main challenges Obama faces right now is simply getting the Palestinian Authority to the table. They feel that their ability to not enter negotiations is one of their biggest points of leverage, and as it stands right now, that's correct. But if Netanyahu makes a good-faith effort to reach out, Mahmoud Abbas should reciprocate. If he doesn't, the U.S. should explain that there's not much they can do to help the Palestinian cause if the Palestinians won't.
If both Israel and the PA refuse to get with the program, there's really only one lurking threat the U.S. can offer that might scare them enough to make a bold move: to walk away. Not completely, of course, but enough so that the leaders carefully consider the cost of having the U.S. disengage. Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians want the Quartet to take on the main tasks of bringing peace. (Palestinians might publicly cry of U.S. bias in negotiations, but they would prefer no other interlocutor. American institutional memory, expertise, money, and sincerity is not matched by any possible replacement, and the PA knows this.)
This exercise hasn't covered every possible contingency that might arise in the months ahead, but it demonstrates the structured thinking that must go into the Obama administration's next move. And it takes into account the past mistakes from which it is now suffering, ones which have led the parties to forget that the U.S. has leverage. I still believe that imposing a settlement is the wrong thing to do at this stage; this is the best alternative.
How to save American policy in the Levant — if it's still possible
The Obama administration's catastrophically poor handling of the Israeli-Palestinian issue has set off a terrible chain of events. As it stands, American influence has never been lower. The Israeli government is composed of peace process ditherers. The Palestinian Authority's public face is maximalist, for fear of losing whatever legitimacy it has. Meanwhile, a beleaguered administration seems not to have a policy — but that can't last. Obama is hemmed in all sides, so what can he do?
The first thing Obama needs to do is re-establish a sense of American strength. Both the Israelis and Palestinians see the president as increasingly weak and untrustworthy — in other words, ignorable. He sticks to one policy at a time, without fallback options to respond to uncooperative behavior. To be successful in pushing peace, Obama must escape that view. At the same time, he cannot limit his options too early by dictating what each party should do. Since he is ignorable, this last-ditch effort would surely fall flat, too.
To make himself relevant, but also flexible, Obama needs to create competing and linked concrete solutions. By this, I mean that the U.S. needs to formulate a list of outcomes and processes it could accept in the medium term. He should present these outcomes as being alternatives, such that the participants will know that American policy will follow one of those paths. The alternatives should illustrate how good behavior will pay off and bad behavior will have consequences. I will elaborate more on competing and linked concrete solutions in another post.
For starters, the U.S. should set a code of conduct on each parties. The tone and content of what the Israeli government and PA say is important for priming the public. When the PA publishes reports denying Jewish claims to the Temple Mount, or when Avigdor Lieberman says peace is impossible, the U.S. needs to say publicly what it thinks about those comments, rather than the standard response of something being "unhelpful." American language needs to be phrased in terms of commitments and whether each side is meeting them. This might be the only way that the Israelis and Palestinians will ever start to talk publicly of their own commitments as being more than suggestions.
A change in attitude to this degree requires new leadership. Part of that new leadership must include a new envoy to the region. Most of the problems in American diplomacy have not been George Mitchell's fault, but he stopped being relevant long ago. An energetic, relentless enforcer is needed to wear the public face of the administration. Dick Holbrooke would have been great for the job; It's worth seeing if someone like Aaron David Miller would be willing to take that role, especially since "tough love" is his m.o.
As I said before, there will be more on the set of concrete ideas to come.
The Guardian's complicity in the death of the peace process
I am indeed sickened by how "irresponsibly" the Guardian is reporting the Palestine Papers. Countless details are glossed over, elided, hidden, misrepresented, over-emphasized, etc. Take one blaring headline: "Palestinian negotiators accept Jewish state, papers reveal." Except not.
Here's the actual text of the piece, which is reported with breathless and context-free enthusiasm:
[B]ehind closed doors in November 2007, Erekat told Tzipi Livni, the then Israeli foreign minister and now opposition leader: "If you want to call your state the Jewish state of Israel you can call it what you want," comparing it to Iran and Saudi Arabia's definition of themselves as Islamic or Arab.
Insistence by Israel and the US that Palestinians recognise Israel as an explicitly Jewish state, as part of a final settlement of the conflict and as being potentially linked to a loyalty oath for Arab citizens in Israel, is the focus of growing controversy.
No, it's really not a growing controversy. I understand the Palestinian wariness to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. But for goodness sake, the UN resolution that led to Israel's creation mandates the creation of "[i]ndependent Arab and Jewish states." Every Israeli government since 1948 has demanded recognition accordingly. Is it a controversy? Yes. Is it "growing" or in any way novel? No.
More importantly, Erekat's words mirror almost perfectly what the Palestinian leadership says in public already. Here's another part of the Guardian article:
Erekat signalled acquiescence but refused to formally discuss the matter [of recognition] further. "I don't care," he insisted in June 2009. "This is a non-issue. I dare the Israelis to write to the UN and change their name to the 'Great Eternal Historic State of Israel'. This is their issue, not mine."
And here is PA President Mahmoud Abbas talking in a public speech in 2009:
What is a "Jewish state"? We call it the "State of Israel." You can call yourselves whatever you want. … You can call yourselves whatever you want. But I will not accept it. … You can call yourselves the Zionist Republic, the Hebrew, the National, the Socialist [Republic], call it whatever you like. I don't care.
There is no betrayal or reversal of position. Perpetrating dangerous falsehoods like these show carelessness, or at worst — as Bernard Avishai suggests — some kind of delight at the power the media has to create mischief in a tinderbox environment.
Indeed, the Guardian seems content to simply use the leaks as an excuse to rehash the Palestinian narrative as if the year is 1990 and no peace process has begun. Take the astonishing article by Ghada Karmi — labeled "news," not opinions, and linked on the front page — which tells you all you need to know simply from its headline: "Only Palestinian refugees can give up their right of return." It's almost beside the point that Karmi's "article" makes the same basic legal mistakes that one hears from advocates of a "right of return"; the real issue is why the Guardian feels it has the duty to litigate maximalist Palestinian positions while pretending to still adhere to journalistic norms.
Al Jazeera and the Guardian must derive joy from seeing crisis in the Middle East. They have branded old as new, routine as dramatic. They have given a slap in the face to all those who have dared confront the powerful histories of the Arab-Israeli conflict from their own side. If the peace process is now dead, as Guardian commentators and copycat know-nothings babble, then surely this contrived insanity deserves a special honor for unnecessarily raising tensions during a time of uncertainty.

If this were the '50s, newspapers would be flying off stands like hotcakes. The "Read All About It" would refer to the newly released "Palestine Papers" a series of revealing documents (much like the equally scandalous Wikileaks) covering years of Palestinian-Israeli meetings and negotiations.
Excuse me, but shut up. Stop it. Nothing in these papers is new. The only difference is that now we have lurid details to accompany the storyline, which provides great fodder for journalists but doesn't change anything.
Juan Cole is apparently so worked up about these non-revelations that he has decided to go reductio ad Hitlerum:
As for the Americans, Condi Rice is said to have told the Palestinians (with regard to their mass expulsion in 1948 and their loss of statehood) that lots of peoples have had bad things happen to them. But 'lots of peoples' don't have nearly 5 million stateless people currently. Stateless people have no real rights. They are not citizens. The Nazis prepared for their move against the Jews by first stripping them of German citizenship. That gave denaturalizing people a bad name.
And lastly, the Guardian has removed any shadow of its neutrality with this omission:
Much of The Guardian's reporting today on the Palestine papers emphasises the quote from Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, claiming that he had made an unprecedented offer to Israel of 'the biggest Yerushalayim in Jewish history'.
However, the immediate sentence before this, which has not been cited in any of The Guardian's analysis, reads:
'Israelis want the two state solution but they don't trust. They want it more than you think, sometimes more than Palestinians.'
The first two page spread in the paper appeared under the banner 'Israel spurned Palestinian offer of 'biggest Yerushalayim in history'', and references were also made to the quote in The Guardian's editorial and in a comment piece by Jonathan Freedland. The quote is used to bolster the editorial line that negotiations have failed due to the intransigence of Israel, which refused to accept significant concessions by the Palestinians.
The original context of the full quote, however, reveals a second point: Erekat was acknowledging that the Israelis were committed to a peaceful solution. The full quote, from the Palestinian account of a meeting between Erekat and assistant US envoy David Hale, reads:
'Israelis want the two state solution but they don't trust. They want it more than you think, sometimes more than Palestinians. What is in that paper gives them the biggest Yerushalaim in Jewish history, symbolic number of refugees return, demilitarised state…what more can I give?'
The document of the minutes, which is entitled, 'The Palestine papers: 'the biggest Jerusalem in history'', even highlights the two sentences, which appear on page 3, adding an online annotation which ignores the first part of the quote:
'Erekat, a fluent English speaker, demonstrates his sensitivity towards the Israelis by using the Hebrew name for Jerusalem.'

This opening episode of Moonlighting's second season begins with stars Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, aka Maddie and David, briefly dropping character to chat with the audience and explain that they have to kill a little time because the script isn't long enough to fill out the hour. In the story proper, Charles Rocket makes his first appearance as David's irksome brother Richie, who blows into town with one hundred thousand dollars to his name. David is jealous that Richie is able to impress Maddie by tossing his new-found wealth around, but what begins as a case of sibling rivalry develops into something far more deadly when it is revealed that the money actually belongs to a Philadelphia drug dealer named Mr. Navarone (Ed O'Ross)--a man who is not known for his gentle nature or sense of humor!

This Christmas travel season could be the busiest in six years.
AAA predicts that more than 93,000,000 Americans will hit the road.
That's 1.6 percent more than last year, which is why Georgia State Troopers are urging drivers to slow down and buckle up.
Many Americans are hitting the road over the holiday period, and so are Georgia State Troopers.
"We will be out trying to make sure that the travelers are safe and that they arrive in their destinations in a timely matter but also in a safe matter," said Sr. Trooper Darryl Benton, GSP.
Troopers will be using road blocks to keep an eye out for drunk drivers through the end of the holiday season.
The Department of Public Safety has joined with the Governor's Office of Highway Safety to promote Operation Zero Tolerance.
"During this period we will be looking for impaired drivers, seat belt violations, speeding motorists, reckless drivers, any type of violations that could harm the public whole they are traveling to their destinations," said Benton.
And if you are on the road this holiday season make sure to leave yourself enough time so you won't be tempted to rush.
"With Christmas being on a weekday and it being a weekend, it has made for a long weekend for travel, so traffic is beginning to pick up as people try and get home for Christmas and visit their families," said Benton.
Trooper Benton has seen those fatal crashes at the hands of drunken and reckless drivers and says he knows the effects it has on families.
"During the holiday period it is very hard for us to go out and work certain crashes, especially when it involves children or elderly people, and it is a factor when speed is involved when it really didn't make any sense for the accident to happen," said Benton.
Which is why Benton is urging drivers to buckle up and slow down, so you make it to your destination safely.
Authorities' say they investigated 289 accidents that left 182 people injured during last year's Christmas travel period.

COLORADO CITY, Ariz. (AP) - The judge overseeing a civil rights lawsuit aimed at polygamous towns on the Arizona-Utah border has scheduled oral arguments on a motion to dismiss damages and civil penalties.
The motion filed by attorneys representing Colorado City and Hildale, Utah, relates to alleged violations of the federal Fair Housing Act.
The U.S. Department of Justice sued the towns last year. One claim has been dismissed. Another contends that the towns denied housing rights to former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The towns' attorneys say the claims for monetary damages and civil penalties are barred by statutes of limitation.
Oral arguments are set for June 5.
Earlier this month, the judge denied requests for a change of venue and to protect some religious information.

Can't go wrong with burton and the ICS+EST combo

CRANDON, Wis. (WXPR) - A nonprofit group is working to build a 10-thousand acre off-road vehicle park in Forest County. The group says it would have a 28-million dollar annual impact.
President of Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park Incorporated John Schnorr says it would meet a sizable demand for off-road recreation. And he notes the park would be open year-round. "This is much more than just a park for ATV riding. This would be an all-inclusive venue which would include jeeps, trucks, motorcycles. But it would also serve as a venue for silent sportspeople: hunters, fishermen, backpackers, cross country skiing."
The nonprofit is in the process of funding the multimillion dollar project, and pinning down the exact location. Schnorr says the group has narrowed down the options and is staying away from sensitive cultural or environmental sites. "We identified wetlands and agricultural lands and stayed away from areas like that, so that we wouldn't interfere for instance livestock grazing, or contamination of the watershed."
Schnorr says a recent presentation in Madison was well received by local lawmakers. The group is continuing to pitch the idea to local stakeholders.

These towels are soft and absorbent. When I ordered them I thought I was getting six hand towels but it is a complete set of two bath towels, hand towels and washcloths. The color was a bit darker than what is shown on screen but I would order them again.
The first time I washed and dried these towels (I purchased the 6-pc set) an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE amount of lint--actually the material--separated from the towels. It seemed that the soft areas of the towels simply SEPARATED from the towels--my machine and dryer were FILLED with continuous BLANKETS of this lint. It was incredible.The other reviewers are happy with these towels, so it may be I purchased (April 28, 2009) a BAD set of towels. I am certainly going to return these!
This towel is not thick and plush at all! nuthing like I had hoped for after finally acquiring some towel money from my tight budget I was excited to get some plush towels. Folks these are not it, I got black ones and washed and dried them they collect lots of lint and they did not fluff at all. Booo!
Luxurious? I don't think so! These towels were not as thick and fluffy as I would have thought. I was expecting a much higher quality product. Next time, I'll go to a store to buy towels so that I can see and feel before I purchase.
These towels are so big, soft, and pretty I can't beleive I got such a good deal on them. Don't use fabric softener or they won't be absorbent, they are plenty soft enough without softener. They are more like bath sheets than towels. Love them.
I bought these because I wanted peach colored towels. They are hard to find. At first, they were wonderful - but after a few months they lost their softness and became rough and uncomfortable. The color also faded a lot.
Wonderful. Very happy with these. Nice size and very absorbent.
I just moved and had decided to change out colors in the bathroom. This set is true to color and so soft.
I ordered these towels a few years ago and they lasted well. Thus, I have ordered these and they are of good quality as well. I look forward to more years of good quality and usefullness.
I have bought many, many towels in the past 30 years and without a doubt these are the best towels ever. I wash them weekly with a little bit of Woolite and 3/4 cup of white vinegar. Very minimal lint is left in the dryer lint trap. They absorb water quickly and do dry fast. Going forward these will be the only towels I purchase.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state DNR is asking people in central Wisconsin to help prevent the spread of chronic wasting disease in the area's wild deer herd.
About 40 people went to a meeting Tuesday night at the Mead Wildlife Area near Milladore, after a roaming deer was found to have the fatal brain disease for the first time in the region.
DNR wildlife supervisor Kris Johansen said CWD will spread in central Wisconsin if nothing's done about it – and the agency expects to have a more definitive plan in the coming months.
For now, Johansen asked people to help the DNR find deer with symptoms of the disease – things like excess saliva, an emaciated appearance, and an inability to stand. Officials said this fall's deer hunting seasons will not have any changes – but there would be no guarantees for future years if CWD spreads.
Officials have tried to keep chronic wasting disease under control in southern Wisconsin for over a decade with things like extra hunting seasons – and bans on deer baiting and feeding which have proven to be controversial.
The DNR says five cases of CWD have been confirmed this year outside the southern Wisconsin zone – and in the zone's core area, just over one of every five adult bucks have been infected.
