The Strain (Hardcover)
June 2009 Indie Next List
"The Strain begins with a newly landed plane stopping dead on the runway. When the rescue crews arrive, they discover that all the passengers and crew are dead in their seats, with their necks cut and their bodies devoid of blood. This utterly original novel is absolutely fantastic and like no vampire novel I've read. You will love it!"

Guillermo del Toro, the genius director of the Academy Award-winning Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy, and Hammett Award-winning author Chuck Hogan have joined forces to boldly reinvent the vampire novel. Brilliant, blood-chilling, and unputdownable, The Strain is a nightmare of the first order.

Clinton is counting on superdelegates, pure and simple. Hence the hardball tactics on Pelosi for suggesting that superdelegates should not overturn the will of elected delegates:
And also hence why Dean just put forward a non-binding deadline of July 1 for superdelegates to declare who they will support.
The problem for Hillary is that while she has a heavy lead in Pennsylvania, that vote isn't for another 3 weeks, and she is not gaining a lick of traction. In other words, she has nowhere to go but down.
If she could swing NC and IN her way along with PA, that would be different, but it seems like she's all but given up on those contests. I expect PA to get a heck of a lot closer than it is looking now.
fluteprof, ECB, and others are going to blow their lids when they read this. They are in deep denial.
I find it interesting that our Senators are rooting for Clinton, but our Governor is not. Tells you a lot. As you guys said, Clinton bailed out Cantwell when she needed her and thus Cantwell owes her allegiance. Not sure what Ron Sims owes Clinton.
Time for Ron to go..
No denial here @3, been saying HRC going to lose and Obama gong to win since Super Tuesday.
But to think HRC is going to give up or that most politicians would give up or that most people committed to a cause give up or that it's tacky or weird that she doens't give up is denial, ignorance and juvenile cheerleading.
And continuing to talk about delegate math -- expecially math based on disenfranchsing voters in FL and MI -- is sooooo off message for Obama.
So, these are the things Obama has the power to do that will BOTH help nudge HRC into acceptance of defeat as well as help win in November:
1. seat FL and MI. Yesterday we saw this only reduces the Obama pledged delegate lead from about 170 to about 115 (nos. not exact). There isn't any chance at all that the future primaries will alter his being in the lead. Seating FL and MI
makes him look GREAT, STRONG, FAIR and a LEADER WHO REPRESENTS CHANGE.
It helps win FL and MI in the Fall, and it takes away a huge issue from HRC.
2. Offer HRC VP.
When I say that I mean precisely this: talking her up, saying she's great, saying the VP choice has to be vetted and go thru a process including many qualified candidates blah blah but perhaps telling her in the back room : cut it out now, or else you are off the list. Telling her something so she knows it's her but no one can say so yet and no promises yet.
Obama's a great pol, he knows how to do the deal so it can't look like a deal.
No better way to get the full throated support of the approx. 48.5% of the Demo voters who chose her over Obama.
Those voters WE need to WIN in the fall.
LBJ didn't drop in 1960, Kennedy didn't drop when fighting Carter, Bush didn't drop out when fighting Reagan. People just don't freaking drop out and suggesting it's abnormal to keep running is simply a false stigmatizing lie propagated by the intensely pro Obama media in this race.
Obama: be a leader. Be the change you know we want. Be for unity. Do the above and you can sort of declare victory right after NC and IN (ie, say you expect to win the nomination and you will focus on the economy and Iraq and McCain and you are starting a vetting group to get ahead on cabinet and VP choices as well as planning how to get out of Iraq and the mortgage mess etc.).
Shit, put Dodd and Biden and Edwards on the advisory committee too.
Kennedy chose LBJ and won.
Ford didn't chose Reagan and lost.
Reagan chose Bush and won.
And Abe Lincoln is revered in history books for asking rivals to serve him.
If Obama is like AL or JFK, he'll do it.
Oh btw new polls today showing that Democrats support making Clinton the VP by about 2:1 if OBama gets the nod.
All the folks who are crying about superdelegates not following the iwll of the people? A little consistency would say follow the will of the people on this, too.
And btw we all better start figuring out how Obama is going to win in the Fall when it seem he can't win big media driven states like CA NY PA OH FL NJ MA and recent polls show McCain winning over Obama in PA FL MO OH and tied in VA and MN.
As a strategy, "let's carp at HRC till she drops out, then we'll have unity thru utter defeat, then we'll ask her and her supporters to support us whole heartedly while giving her nothing but brickbats and insults" is stoooooooopid.
I know St. Barack of Obama is like everyone's boyfriend, but deep down you know you're bracing for heartbreak. That affairs that burn this bright cannot last. That you're wondering when he will stop calling you. Or you'll catch him out on the town with another. Smiling wanly.
Look, he won't beat Clinton, and can't beat McCain. The louder you scream, the more you reveal what's in your heart: fear. That some piece of sordid history is about to be revealed. That he will make another rookie mistake. That he knows (even more) black people who like cameras. That in three or four months the sups will all switch to Clinton.
Oh yeah, and he's counting on sups just as much as Hilsey. So get over it.
I know I'm just feeding the trolls and repeating the obvious, but...
To unPC: Obama only lost California by nine points and lost Clinton's "home state" of New York by less than 20. If you HONESTLY think - meaning not just spewing pipe dream sewage - those states would vote for McCain over Obama, then you're insane.
To fluteprof: Why do you continue to think anyone believes what you say?
fluteprof: Superdelegates are switching over to Obama right now. Never mind June. You know something the rest of us don't? Cite your sources.
It's The Entitlement, Stupid.
Hillary refuses to face the trends, the votes of the people across the country in large margins, the delegate math, the voices in leadership of her own party--and it's now glaringly apparent.
For loyal Democrats such as myself, who once respected her during the Clinton years, it is a very sadly revelation of her political character (or lack of it). It is painful to witness.
Haven't we suffered enough under the Current President of Deep Denial, much less elect another one?
Her kneecapping of Obama (as, just today, Bill Clinton again trumpeted McCain) is an indication the Clintons transcended any remaining scrap of party loyalty. The gloves have come off, the masks have come off, and we are seeing exactly what sort leadership she (or they) would offer.
This isn't the Obama Kool-Aid talking. Her behavior speaks for itself, even to those not beholden to the Barack camp.
The question now is how does the Democratic Party save itself without too publically chastising its former leaders and standard-bearer?
To take a quote from Hillary herself, "Shame on you, Shame on you, Hillary Clinton."
@6 - item 2 is not going to happen. She blew the chance of that happening with her actions since Super Tuesday.
I'm wondering which one of Richardson, Dodd, or that Gov from Ohio are going to win the VP nod.
I agree with UnPC. Obama needs to offer her the VP slot. End the war with the Clintons, and start attacking the GOP.
@Will in Seattle: I think one of the best candidates for VP is Feingold. I think Richardson would make a good secretary of state. Dodd should stay in the senate, where he is effective.
What if Obama offered Bloomberg the VP slot? Bloomberg has the money and credibility to woo democrats and independants. And it would position Bloomberg to run as an independant president. Which would be AMAZING.
The ecomony is weighing heavily on people's minds. Obama needs someone with a solid ecomonic background.
Also, the GOP may not care about losing this election. It's like when Bush Sr. won the election after the Reagen years then suffered all the economic problems that had been building, allowing the democrats to take the office. Who knows, but whoever gets it.....GOOD LUCK WITH ALL THAT!
I was in Texas this week. For those of you who believe things like "a Hillary Clinton nomination will do more to mobilize the right wing faster than you can blink", I will tell you this. You need to seriously check your assumptions.
When it come to the Right, the Conservatives, and the Republicans, when you say Obama to them, they get seriously worked up. I talked with a lot of those folks (some family members, neighbors and just some random folks out around town). And they seriously hate Obama. They think he is smug and arrogant.
Don't get me wrong, they don't exactly like Hillary but they are way more comfortable with her as the President. So, if you are one of those people who does not support Hillz because you think she is too controversial, I suggest you rethink your assumptions.
As far as I am concerned, I don't vote anymore for the person I think is most 'electable'. I vote for the person I agree with and the person I think who will get the things done that I want to see get done.
@13--ANY Democrat other than a blue-dog or turncoat like Lieberman is going to give the Faithful Far Right fits, just like any Republican other than Lowell Weicker is going to cause the most passionate Progressives to foam at the mouth.
But I'd hardly calibrate my expectations of the National Reaction to Obama by a group of Conservatives in Texas.
Trust me, the Obama people know what's coming.
And what some see as "arrogance" others see as cool, level-headed (and non-shrill) resolve.
if i were bill clinton, i would ask all nmedia to please start referring to hillary her as only "hillary" or "rodham"--when i hear the name "clinton" now, i of course think only of her, & it's reallly damaging the brand
not that i condone bill's behavior, but after all the shit that hillary has said & done recently, i'm starting to see why bill would want to have sex with women who were not her
she needs to drop out ASAP!
At the next debate, I would like to see each candidate asked who they would vote for in the general if the other was the Dem nominee.
i think when they say 'arrogant' they mean 'uppity'
@12 - I personally agree that Russ Feingold would be a great VP, but I don't think, politically, he'll be on the short list, OM.
I doubt Bloomberg will be actively considered by any of the three candidates (Obama, Clinton, McCain), although it is a remote possibility for McCain to consider him. Most people expect he might choose Romney to infill in his economic weakness side.
That said, none of the GOP tickets look viable in the real world.
Agreed, No. 16: And I think they should ask HRC first.....
Having Obama offer the VP to Clinton really makes no sense. It mollifies some hard-core Ds, but alienates far more moderate Ds, youth, independents and Rs who might otherwise vote for Obama. Also, it guarantees a huge turnout of Clinton-haters who might otherwise just stay home in November if they're not enchanted with McCain. It is quite possibly the worst baggage he could bring on board the ticket.
Plus, Clinton shows zero interest in being Obama's VP. The traditional ways of showing interest are (1) not attacking the front-runner and (2) suspending the campaign. After all, if Obama completely melts down in the next month or so (Clinton's only real hope), she's going to get the nomination anyway.
the math is against her. she's tanking in the polls. she's running out of cash. the only reason she's still in it is becauase of the enormous amount of power she and her husband weild within the democratic party. if the situation were reversed, the pressure on obama to drop out at this point would have no doubt been insurmountable, and i suspect he would have obliged. hell, he probably would have been out before march 4.
but VP? i seriously doubt she would be willing to play second fiddle. and she doesn't bring much to the table anyway. what, her husband had the incredibly good fortune of having his presidency overlap with the internet bubble, ergo she's good with the economy? that's one hell of a non-sequitur.
"Look, he won't beat Clinton,"
He already has, dipshit. Stop sucking Hillary's dick, plz.

By Native Hawaiian Liaison Office, U.S. Army Garrison-HawaiiMarch 22, 2013
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii -- U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii is delighted that its popular Hawaiian cultural classes have resumed.
For the last few years, Soldiers and family members have enjoyed the opportunity to learn about Hawaiian culture through a variety of weekly courses, workshops and special events.
The cultural offerings include hula, lei making Hawaiian history, feather work, carving and other traditional crafts.
"We are extremely excited to have this opportunity to share our culture and the aloha spirit with Army families," said Dr. Trisha Kehaulani Watson, project manager and proprietor of Honua Consulting, a contract company developing the cultural immersion program.
"As someone who grew up in Mililani, I feel a deep personal connection to this area," Watson said, "and I am honored to have this opportunity to get to know this community better."
USAG-HI's new cultural program and classes will give Army families an opportunity to work with a wide range of Hawaiian cultural practitioners and participate in cultural experiences, both on and off post.
In cooperation with Army Community Service's Relocation Readiness Program, educational trips and tours to off-post locations will soon be offered every month.
"The new off-post experiences are a unique opportunity for Soldiers and family members to really engage and embrace the Native Hawaiian culture and community," said Charlyn Sales, ACS relocation readiness program manager.
Sales and Watson plan to offer group visits to 'Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu, Bishop Museum and the Hawaiian Plantation Village in Waipahu. Additionally, unique hands-on experiences, such as a visit to a functional lo'i (taro) patch and an ancient fish pond are also being considered.
Community members wishing to find out more about the classes may subscribe to the new Native Hawaiian monthly newsletter, "Ho'ona," expected to launch in December.
"'Ho'ona' means 'to calm,' as this program is meant to give relocating families a sense of comfort with their new duty station," Watson said.
Ho'ona Classes

Under the direction of bassist Juanlu, one of founding members of the world-renowned flamenco fusion group Ojos de Brujo, Calima pushes the flamenco fusion ideal further, employing a large international collective of musicians who together create a musical experience that won them immediate accolades, including a Latin Grammy nomination for their 2007 debut album, Azul. Along with guitarist Ramón Giménez, Juanlu (aka El Cani) founded Ojos de Brujo in 1990 in Barcelona. The group evolved over many years to become an internationally adored flamenco group, in part because of their willingness to tour relentlessly but also because of their fusion of musical styles, particularly their knack for hip-hop beats and rapping. Juanlu, who was born in Barcelona but lived for a time in both Los Angeles and Brazil and who is a veteran of several bands, left Ojos de Brujo after Techarí (2006), their most popular album to date. Upon leaving Ojos de Brujo, Juanlu proceeded to regroup Calima and make this former side project a full-time effort. Originally founded in 2004, the group is comprised of a diverse stable of musicians: David "El Rubio" (vocals, guitar; from Barcelona), Giner "El Negro" (rapping, flamenco singing; Venezuela), Chus "El Tobalo" (cajón, piano; Badajoz, Spain), Antonio "El Flamencorro" (guitar; Sevilla), Fran "El Geiaka" (percussion; Granada, Spain), Laura "La Bicha" (flamenco dancing; Barcelona), Diego Lezkano (conga, drums; Argentina), Nicola "El Newspaper Boy" (trumpet; California), Ann "La Niña" (violin; Sweden) -- and many others, depending on the when and where of the situation, for there is also a so-called Calima Big Band that adds another half-dozen names to the bandmember list. The recording of Calima's debut album, Azul (2007), likewise included a cast of musicians, many of them invited as guests and many of them international, resulting in a true musical fusion. Released by EMI, Azul was well-received critically, no doubt in part because of Juanlu's sterling reputation as a founding member of Ojos de Brujo; most notably, the album earned a 2007 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Flamenco Album, an award ultimately won -- in an amusing twist of fate -- by Ojos de Brujo for Techarí. Meanwhile, Calima continued to focus on their live performances throughout 2007 and 2008, including numerous festival appearances such as Viñarock and Flamenco Festival de Barcelona. ~ Jason Birchmeier

I'm just about to launch a big site in which I've used Role Scoper for the first time. I've noticed several updates in the last few days, which makes me think a new version was buggy and these have been fixes. I haven't had time to read all the notes, and I'm hoping someone can save me the time by letting me know if everything is fixed/working okay with Role Scoper. (You all know how the few days before launch are.)
Can I feel confident presenting this new site to the client?

JERUSALEM - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has told a newspaper that Israel and Syria have been exchanging messages to clarify expectations of any future peace treaty.
Yediot Ahronot, an Israeli daily, said Thursday that Olmert didn't disclose the content of the messages or provide other details about the contacts. The paper quotes Olmert as saying, "They know what we want from them, and I know full well what they want from us."
Peace talks between the two sides broke down in 2000. Syria wasn't satisfied with Israel's offer to return the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast war.

Tales of Innocence R trailers show off Vita remake
We waited in vain to see Tales of Innocence outside Japan, but maybe Vita remake Tales of Innocence R has a better chance. Namco Bandai has released three new drool-worthy trailers of the upcoming RPG, which you can sigh over in frustrated longing through the break.
The top video is a commercial for the game while the next two show off Ruca and then Ricardo's mystic artes powers.
Thanks, Andriasang.

David Brock Is a Clownfish
With friends like MediaMutters, who needs anemones?
MediaMutters.org, the dyspeptic lefty outfit founded and run by a self-described erstwhile right-wing "hit man," is narrowing its focus. Politico reports the group "has quietly transformed itself in preparation for what its founder, David Brock, described in an interview as an all-out campaign of 'guerrilla warfare and sabotage' aimed at the Fox News Channel."
A look at the MediaMutters home page bears this out. When we checked this morning, there were only a handful of links dealing with non-Fox outlets--even Rush Limbaugh was missing--and a whole section of links titled "Fox Attacks Media Matters [sic]," which would have more accurately been titled "Media Mutters Attacks Glenn Beck."
MediaMutters has a staff of 90 putting this stuff out, Politico reports. "It's horrible," a mock MediaMutters employee told Fox's "Red Eye" last month. "All we do is sit and watch Fox News and make up stuff about Fox News. It is the saddest place I have ever seen in my life. I think about it, and I want to throw up. I get to work and I take off my clothes, and they strap me into a chair in front of a TV with [Fox News Channel] on. They keep my eyelids propped open like in 'Clockwork Orange,' and I sit and type all day."
The goal, according to Brock, is to "focus on" Rupert Murdoch, CEO of Fox (and Wall Street Journal) parent News Corp. "and trying to disrupt his commercial interests." Which, as blogger Brandon Kiser notes, raises an interesting legal question. MediaMutters is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a status "designated for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes." Under this status, both MediaMutters itself and donations to it are tax-exempt.
Does a group that proclaims its purpose to be industrial sabotage qualify? It's hard to imagine the answer is yes. Could, say, AT&T set up an organization to sabotage Sprint and do the whole thing free of taxes?
Brock's justification for targeting Fox makes MediaMutters's nonprofit status even more dubious. Politico quotes a 2010 planning memo from Brock that declares: "Criticizing Fox News has nothing to do with criticizing the press. Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public."
Criticizing the press is the sort of educational or literary undertaking in which a 501(c)(3) organization may engage. Attacking "the de facto leader of the GOP," by contrast, is partisan political activity, forbidden to 501(c)(3)s. Now of course Fox News isn't really a partisan organization any more than CNN or CBS or the New York Times is. But attacking a nonpartisan corporation in a partisan fashion would seem to qualify as the sort of partisan activity that is not supposed to be tax-exempt.
There's an additional paradox in MediaMutters' decision to devote itself to a "war" on Fox. It's a war MediaMutters cannot win, by virtue not of its strategic or tactical weaknesses (glaring though they are) but of the relationship between the two organizations, which is not a competitive one. CNN could, if only in theory, win a war against Fox by persuading a large number of viewers to switch. (Come to think of it, that's what Fox did to CNN.) The New York Times could win a war against Fox if it could discredit its journalism and thereby shore up the Times's own authority.
But MediaMutters, especially now that it has decided to focus on Fox at the expense of virtually all others, is dependent on Fox, as Politico notes:
In some views, the war between Media Matters and Fox is not, necessarily, bad for either side. Media Matters has transformed itself into a pillar of the progressive movement with its aggressive new brand of media campaigning. And the attacks cement Fox's status on the right.
"Fox is happy about it--and it makes their position more vivid among their supporters," said Paul Levinson, a media studies professor at Fordham University. "One way of keeping your core supporters happy is to be attacked by people your core supporters don't like."
We'd say the relationship between MediaMutters and Fox is a commensal one--that is, MediaMutters benefits from it, while Fox is unaffected. Brock aspires to be a parasite, benefiting while harming the host.
But maybe Politico and Levinson are on to something and it is, in fact, a symbiosis in which Fox gains at least something from MediaMutters. The way "Red Eye," quoted above, finds comedy gold in MediaMutters' muttering is reminiscent of a sea anemone taking nourishment from the feces of a clownfish.
Of course, the analogy isn't perfect. David Brock is neither as colorful nor pretty as a clownfish.
Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda
In response to our item yesterday discussing what came to be known as President Bush's "mission accomplished" speech, several readers called our attention to the comments of Gen. Tommy Franks, commander of the U.S. Central Command at the time. This is from an interview with ABC's Ted Koppel in August 2004, when Franks was promoting his memoir, "American Soldier":
Koppel: I want to take you back to an anecdote you tell in your book in which you say, in effect, when the president ended up on the carrier out there saying that major combat was over, that was you? You did that?
Franks: Yeah. I, I, I confess I did that, Ted. It's a, it's a sort of an interesting thing. I think initially reporting was pretty simplistic about, well, you know, there's great jubilation and joy, and, and so the president lands on the carrier and says, "Well, major combat operations have been completed."
And factually, I had recommended to [Defense] Secretary Don Rumsfeld several days before that that the president make such an announcement for a couple of reasons, actually. One reason was that I wanted all the troops who had been working hard on the ground in combat in Iraq to get some sense of closure. You know, the statue was down and Saddam was no longer in charge of Iraq, and I thought closure for the troops was a good thing, perhaps a bit selfish on my part.
Secondly, there were a number of nations who had indicated that they would provide force levels, troops to work with coalition forces up in Iraq, as soon as major combat operations had been completed. And so, yes, that was my suggestion.
Koppel: Now, you didn't suggest that he put on a flight suit and sit back seat on a plane landing on a, on an aircraft carrier, did you?
Franks: No one asked me about, about how he ought to do it, Ted.
Koppel: And I assume you didn't paint the banner that said "mission accomplished" either?
Franks: No, but I would have agreed with it, and as I looked at the president's comments on the 1st of May, I thought, "Good for him, good for him," and I appreciated that, that he did what he did.
So it turns out that declaring "major combat operations" to have ended had a clear policy purpose--and ironically, given how much Bush got bashed for "unilateralism," the purpose was to attract allies.
The "mission accomplished" banner, as our pal Dana Perino pointed out in a quote in yesterday's column, was innocuous in intent, meant to celebrate the work of the USS Abraham Lincoln's crew. In retrospect, however, it seems clear it was a mistake for Bush to give that speech in that setting. The whole event had a tone of triumphalism, which was only amplified by the president's dramatic flight-suit-clad entrance and his declaration of victory in "the battle of Iraq."
It would have been better had Bush given two lower-key speeches: one on the ship, celebrating its crew, and one in the Oval Office, declaring somberly the end of major combat ops. Some readers make the point that the liberal media would have found some basis for attacking Bush no matter what. True enough, and we said yesterday that the attacks were unfair. But you go to war with the media you have, not the media you might want or wish to have at a later time.
We Need a 'Dislike' Button
The New York Times's Thomas Friedman explains the Middle East:
In Libya, we have to figure out whether to help rebels we do not know topple a terrible dictator we do not like, while at the same time we turn a blind eye to a monarch whom we do like in Bahrain, who has violently suppressed people we also like--Bahraini democrats--because these people we like have in their ranks people we don't like: pro-Iranian Shiite hard-liners. All the while in Saudi Arabia, leaders we like are telling us we never should have let go of the leader who was so disliked by his own people--Hosni Mubarak--and, while we would like to tell the Saudi leaders to take a hike on this subject, we can't because they have so much oil and money that we like. And this is a lot like our dilemma in Syria where a regime we don't like--and which probably killed the prime minister of Lebanon whom it disliked--could be toppled by people who say what we like, but we're not sure they all really believe what we like because among them could be Sunni fundamentalists, who, if they seize power, could suppress all those minorities in Syria whom they don't like.
He uses the word "like" 13 times in a single paragraph, plus two instances of "disliked." Other than the part of speech (verb rather than interjection), he sounds just like a 13-year-old girl.
People sometimes are surprised when we tell them we think Friedman is the worst writer in the English language. They must never have read his stuff.
Tuning Him Out
Entertainment Weekly reports President Obama's ratings are sliding--his TV ratings, that is:
Monday night's policy address on Libya delivered 25.6 million viewers, continuing the president's trend of declining ratings for his issue-oriented telecasts.
The speech was down 12% from Obama's address on Iraq last August (29.2 million), which fell 9% from his speech on the Gulf Coast oil spill in June (32.1 million), which in turn dropped 21% from his Afghanistan speech back in December of 2009 (40.8 million).
We'd caution against reading too much into this. We're unaware if anyone has looked at TV ratings as predictors of re-election the way they have with approval ratings. There may also be secular trends at work. The growth of the Internet or declining interest in politics in general may diminish the TV audience for presidential speeches without reflecting the public's views of the guy who happens to be president at the moment.
On the other hand, Obama's big selling point was that he was the World's Greatest Orator, so it's hard to see how the declining ratings can be good news for him.

Not Anti-Semitic, Just Anti-Anti-Anti-Semitic
J Street, named for a byway that would be in Washington, D.C., were it not nonexistent, is a mostly Jewish anti-Israel group that claims to be a pro-Israel group. The Jerusalem Post reports that its latest effort is to oppose a congressional letter criticizing anti-Semitic incitement by Palestinian Arabs:
The letter to US President Obama, written by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-New Jersey) and Rep. Steve Austria (R-Ohio) in the wake of the Itamar murders, charges that "Palestinian incitement continues and there is almost no effort by them to promote coexistence and peace."
It calls for the White House to "do everything possible to urge [Palestinian Authority] President [Mahmoud] Abbas to root out terrorism, return to negotiations without preconditions, earnestly work toward peace with Israel, and slam the door on any effort to deal with final status issues at the United Nations."
In response, J Street sent an email to members of the US House urging them not to sign it and issued a statement attacking the its [sic] contents as "containing material omissions and misrepresentations of fact and presenting a biased and inaccurate picture."
And J Street gets results:
"J Street's opposition to the Rothman-Austria letter has only increased the willingness of members to sign on. It begs the question [sic] of what are J Street's goals," said one congressional staffer. "If J Street's goals are to have fewer people sign onto the letter, they've already failed."
So J Street is pro-Israel after all!

My Calender was working fine untill I added a new post in September. I wanted to look at September and it says it's not found.
Anyone who knows how to solve the problem?
Here's a link to my calendar:
My Calender was working fine untill I added a new post in September. I wanted to look at September and it says it's not found.

Here's a link to my calendar:
The problem will be that somehow your .htaccess file has been modified. You will need to reinstate the two lines that are required for Calendar and then ensure the file cannot be changed again by setting its permissions to read only.
When you update your blog's settings it writes over everything between
# BEGIN WordPress and
# END WordPress.
Put your rewrite rule in its own block, eg:
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^calendar/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ wp-calendar.php?year=$1&month=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^calendar/?$ wp-calendar.php [QSA,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
That's a helpful post alexdunae, thanks :)
If your server runs Linux it is also well worth chmod'ing your .htaccess file such that it cannot be modified by anyone once you are happy with its contents. This will stop you accidentally over-writing changes you have made to it for Calendar or any other plugin or application.
I have succeeded bringing your great calendar to my WordPress site.
The problem is, it spans all over the width of the browser windows so it overlaps sidebar.
Any idea? Im using Opera browser running on linux machine.
...already solved that. It just needed to hack a little wp-calendar.php file.
find the line
<?php echo calendar(); ?>
and add 2 lines to make it look like this:
<div id="content">
<?php echo calendar(); ?>
I'm having the same problem with the calendar spanning the width of the Browser. I tried The above hack to the wp-calendar.php file but it didn't work. Does anyone else have another idea? Any advice would be appreciated.
the maker of the plugin emailed me back and said to look into your page.php file or similar and make sure that the code is similar and calling the same things. I just had to copy and paste a few things over and it worked fine. my theme didn't have sidbar.php, it had sidebar1.php and sidebar2.php. This is what was throwing things off.

With modern gear ratios and bikes that are super-light, reaching the summit on a mountain bike has never been more attainable. You can climb just about any hill you want. Give yourself an advantage over the hill by following a few time-tested techniques, and remember, like the saying goes, "It's just a hill... get over it."
Manage Your Breathing
Don't attack the hill -- this is the most common mistake a cyclist can make. When you ride out hard and fast you deplete yourself before you reach the top. Known as blowing up or hitting the wall, it's when your respiration goes aerobic, your lungs can't replenish blood cells with oxygen and your muscles, including your heart, can't get what they need. You feel sick, lose power and eventually drop in your tracks. There is a point in everyone's physiology known as the aerobic threshold. This is the point where you hold a steady pace as your blood transfers oxygen at a regular rate to your muscles as they need it. If you exceed this rate you won't make it up the hill. When you feel yourself running out of breath, back off until you can maintain the pace.
Use Your Gearing
Drop it into granny. Don't be afraid to use your lowest gear -- that's what its there for. Sure you will climb slow, but if you try to be macho and push high gears uphill your legs will cramp. This is inefficient and you can't keep it up. Spinning lower gears allows you to keep the bike upright while conserving wind in your lungs. When you start up the hill, keep your fingers on the shifters. Drop it into the smallest gear on the front of the bike with the chain centered on the stack of gears in the back. Pedal at a regular rate. As the hill steepens, click down one gear at a time in back. The steeper the hill, the faster you click until you're in the lowest gear while spinning at a regular rate. Keep climbing in low gear until you've reached the top.
Stay in the Saddle
The urge to stand up on the bike can be overwhelming. Don't do it. Sure, standing up feels good and can even make you climb faster, but you'll expending energy at twice the normal rate. Remain sitting down on the seat until you've reached the top. If your bike is equipped with handlebar extensions -- those things that make your bike look like a longhorn steer -- use them. They allow you to get your torso over the pedals better and use the weight of your body to help you push down on the pedals. If you don't have extensions, hunch over the handlebars, but don't stand up. Slide forward on the seat to get as much weight as you can above the pedals. This position can also help your front end from lifting on seriously steep climbs.
Distract Yourself
Your mind can also stop you from reaching the top. Your brain works in conjunction with your body to ensure that you stop climbing before you hurt yourself. The experience of fatigue is not completely physical. Your mind works as an emotional regulator designed to maintain your body as a whole. Muscle fatigue is also an exhaustion of your nervous system, which is regulated by what the mind considers safe. When you feel like you might explode, or you just want to stop and cry, think about anything that is a sure-fire distraction, whatever that might be. Music is a great distraction as well. And remember, your mind won't let you hurt yourself by pushing too hard. You can't distract it that much.

By Kari Hawkins, Redstone Rocket StaffJune 11, 2009
Chief Warrant Officer 5 John Carnell spent many of the first 20 years of his 36-year career assigned to remote locations throughout the world.
Now, in retirement, he will soon find himself in yet another remote location - the dinosaur-rich lands of Wyoming and Utah.
Since 1992, this paleontologist volunteer has spent many summer vacations aiding in the recovery of dinosaur bones in the U.S., Europe and the People's Republic of China. Carnell fell in love with his hobby while stationed in Germany, where he visited Humboldt University and discovered their exhibit of a Brachiosaurus that stands six stories high.
"I decided I wanted to be part of that," the 54-year-old retiree said, describing the Brachiosaurus. "So, I take time off in the summer to pull dinosaurs out of the ground."
Even though dinosaur digging seems a far cry from his work with the Army in the nuclear weapon and missile arenas, Carnell said both require technical knowledge.
"Both are meticulous. Both require a lot of attention to detail and procedures that are specific," he said.
It is the discovery of dinosaur bones that appeals to Carnell's scientific nature.
"When you first expose that dinosaur bone you are the first person to see the remains of that animal," he said. "No one has ever, ever seen those remains until you find them in the ground. Seventy percent of the animal is its back, legs and ribs. It's an awesome sight to behold. And when you are out there in the field digging you know you are making a major contribution to the scientific knowledge of dinosaurs."
A retirement ceremony for Carnell was held May 22. In his retirement speech, Carnell spoke about the Army's evolution from its negative post-Vietnam reputation to today's image as a technically advanced and Soldier-focused Army. During the early years of his career, Carnell watched the Army undergo a metamorphosis.
"The Army I joined had come out of Vietnam," he recalled. "It was an unpopular Army. It was demoralized. It didn't know what it was about. It was suffering from huge racial problems and drug problems. It was a difficult Army to be in because it did not know what this country wanted it to be."
In the late 1970s and into the 1980s, the Army's leadership rebuilt its own organization.
"Our leadership realized we had to get back to the basics of what Soldiering was all about," he said. "It was about taking care of Soldiers so they could do their jobs. The Army focused on its specific constitutional responsibility to fight and win wars. And the Army became a better Army."
"Reshaping the Army" meant establishing and enforcing standards, holding leaders responsible for their Soldier's tactical and technical proficiency, and achieving military excellence through leadership, hard work, tactical and technical competency, discipline and Soldier accountability.
The surprise came in 1991, when the Army was called on in Operation Desert Storm and quickly responded to put down the threat.
"We moved 70 percent of the Army halfway around the world," Carnell said. "It was the greatest movement of an Army ever. And when we accomplished the mission, we packed it all up and came home. We became a first class Army, the premier military force on earth."
Carnell's entire career has been filled with the quest to be the most technically proficient Soldier the Army has to offer. He began and ended his military career at Redstone Arsenal - being among the first Soldiers to be trained at Redstone as a nuclear weapons maintenance technician and then transferring to Redstone for the last time in 2005 as the logistics transformation officer for the Program Executive Office for Missiles and Space.
One of his last assignments with Missiles and Space involved a responsibility he came to enjoy the most in the Army -- mentoring and teaching young Soldiers.
"I managed a team of 60 people to train and issue the Army's newest artillery system - HIMARS - to the Wyoming National Guard," he said. "In 88 days, we trained that battalion, issued equipment and watched them successfully fire a missile with HIMARS. I really enjoyed the day-to-day contact with Soldiers."
Carnell joined the Army in 1973, after completing one year of college.
"I was tired of going to school. I was tired of being at home. I was frustrated as someone who didn't know what he wanted to do," he recalled.
One thing Carnell did know - he liked the idea of becoming a chief warrant officer like his father, who made the rank of CWO 4 during his 27-year Navy career. But, instead of the Navy, Carnell chose the Army for his career path.
"My recruiter wanted me to drive a tank. But I knew that wouldn't take me to warrant officer," he said. "So, I chose nuclear weapons maintenance technician for my military occupational specialty."
Carnell's MOS took him to Redstone Arsenal.
"I was in class number one for nuclear weapons at Redstone Arsenal," Carnell said. "That job specialty also gave me the opportunity to apply for chief warrant officer."
Carnell's job in nuclear weapons maintenance took him to assignments in New York, Colorado, Germany and Italy. In 1989, he was responsible for the safe evacuation and return of all Army nuclear weapons deployed to both Italy and Greece as required by NATO treaty agreements.
"We retrograded the nuclear weapons and returned them to the U.S. safely without leaving any environmental hazards of any kind," he said. "That was a super, super challenging mission because we had to accomplish the mission in a period of 120 days, and the last nuclear weapons in Germany and Turkey had to leave on the same day at the same time."
The NATO treaty eventually put Carnell out of a job. The Army ended its nuclear weapon business in 1992, and Carnell came back to Redstone Arsenal to retrain as a land combat missile maintainer. He was assigned to Fort Lewis, Wash., before assuming responsibility in 1996 for the Warrant Officer Candidate Academic Studies branch at For Rucker. Other assignments took him to Fort Bliss, Texas and then to Redstone Arsenal.
"I was a CWO 4 when I went to Fort Rucker. But that was the one assignment I was most apprehensive about," Carnell said. "It's a really important mission to train Soldiers who want to be warrant officers.
"It turned out to be tremendously rewarding to help train young high school graduates who wanted to fly helicopters and young Soldiers who were technically qualified sergeants or staff sergeants wanting to be warrant officers. While I was there, in excess of 4,000 Soldiers and high school kids became warrant officers in the Army. The generation of pilots who have done so wonderfully in this conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan were warrant officer candidates when I was at Fort Rucker. That was a hallmark of my career."
While chief warrant officers are called on to lead Soldiers, they must, first, be technically proficient in their career field.
"Warrant officers are the Army's specialists," Carnell said. "We are the knowledge base in the technical field areas for the Army. We provide the institutional knowledge in making complex systems work for the Army. Warrant officers work in complex, technically challenging fields."
Army training makes it possible for a Soldier to excel in any field they are interested in, he said. And nuclear weapons maintenance is no exception.
"The Army teaches you skills and you practice those skills," Carnell said. "You learn the basics and you practice. There's no real secret to being a warrant officer, a leader or taking care of Soldiers. It's all there for anyone to learn.
"But to be a warrant officer, you have to have a true desire to take on the job, to always do what's right, to live by the Army values, to do the best you can and to give your commander 100 percent."
Carnell said the Army will continue to be successful in its missions because of its philosophy toward caring for Soldiers and "being the Army the Constitution and the nation requires. We know how to fight and win the nation's wars."
The Army will continue to evolve into a better Army, he said, despite the wartime and budgetary challenges it faces. And Carnell sees that ongoing evolution in PEO for Missiles and Space.
"Our weapon systems, our Army doctrine, our management and logistics system and our professionalism continue to improve," he said.
"This PEO has been at the forefront of this Army transformation in the field of missiles. As its employees continue to spiral technical innovations into our systems, such as Patriot, MLRS, TOW, Javelin and helicopter-borne missiles, it is providing Soldiers the very best missile weapons systems possible, at an affordable price. The PEO's continued support to the war fighter, the American Soldier, is crucial and very much in evidence in this current fight. This PEO is leading the continuing Army transformation effort, achieving an excellence in missilery never seen before in any military force."
Besides digging up dinosaur bones, Carnell will spend his retirement with his wife, Kathleen, who is a logistics manager for the Integrated Material Management Center's Black Hawk Aircraft Depot Production and Acquisition Management Team, and his three stepchildren. He also will continue to be active with the local annual Brewfest and the Free the Hops/Alabamians for Specialty Beer organization.

From Our Editors
The owner of Bloomfield Auto Spa takes a hands-on approach to car care. On a 5,000-square-foot plot of secluded land, technicians pamper vehicles with high-end products and meticulous detailing services. Instead of soap and water, staffers use steam to clean carpets and extract grease, dirt, and odors from the fibers. Washes include a complimentary vacuum, wipedown of the interior, and cleaning of the windows, wheels, and tires. The crew also picks up and returns vehicles to and from homes, the golf course, or Matchbox carrying cases.

A musical instrument doesn't have to be a complicated thing - in fact, some of the most widely-used and memorable instruments are some of the simplest. There are countless examples of instruments that evolved from common items thanks to resourceful folk musicians, and the claves, sticks and blocks found in this section are the perfect examples. They began with people tapping or rubbing sticks together to make basic percussion sounds, and over the years, those pioneers figured out which woods sounded the best, and how to shape them to create different effects. Centuries later, claves, sticks and blocks have evolved into fine percussion instruments that appear in virtually every musical genre.
There are three general types of instrument found in this category, and the first is the kind that comes in pairs. Those generally include claves and sticks, such as the Trophy Rosewood Claves Set or the Remo Rhythm Sticks - 1 Smooth, 1 Ringed. Some of the matched sets you'll find here are a little more unique, too, including sand blocks like the Rhythm Band Sand Blocks Bamboo, which are designed to be classroom-friendly for teaching percussion concepts but can also be used as an accent to a pro performance or recording.
The second overall group of instruments in this section are ones that are played with sticks or mallets, including all of the various blocks. These can be handheld, like the Rhythm Band Traditional Wood Guiro with Scratcher, or drum kit mountable, such as the RhythmTech Moon Block. This family also includes some distinctive instruments - take the Nino Stirring Drum with Beater or the two-in-one Nino Guiro Shaker Percussion Instrument for instance. If you're looking for simple yet versatile hand percussion, there's no shortage of it here!
Last but not least, the third kind of instrument found here with the claves, sticks and blocks is the kind that simply doesn't fit in with the other two types. That includes specialty shakers like the Remo Lynn Kleiner Baby Bell Stick or the Rhythm Band JS1 Jingle Stick, along with unusual finds such as the Hohner Kids Clatterpillar. The bottom line is that there's a ton of variety, so whether you're looking for claves, sticks, blocks or some sort of related instrument, you'll have no trouble finding what you want right here in this section.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Homemade Fluffy Whole Grain Pancake Mix
This is perfect too for making a quick breakfast for a crowd. If you're having relatives staying over for the holidays, just set up a "Make Your Own" Pancake Bar. Fill little bowls with lots of different mix-ins and let everyone choose their pancake. Bisquick might be tempting… but feed your family like you love them! These pancakes are full of whole grain goodness and no preservatives :)
Whole Grain Pancake Mix
- 3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups whole wheat white flour
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soda
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
For the Finished Cooked Pancakes
- 1/2 cup plain soymilk (or regular low-fat dairy milk)
- 1/2 cup plain soy yogurt (or low fat dairy yogurt)
- 1 large egg
- To make the Mix – Grind oats in a food processor unit they're chopped fine but not ground into a powder. Put the ground oats, flours, and remaining dry ingredients in large bowl and mix on low speed until combined. With the mixer on low, drizzle in the vegetable oil. When all the oil has been added, stop the mixer and squeeze a clump of mix in your hand. If it holds together, its done. If not – stir in 1 tablespoon of oil at a time until the mixture clumps. Store in an airtight container in the freezer indefinitely.
- To make the Pancakes – Whisk together 1 cup mix with 1/2 cup plain soy milk, 1/2 cup plain soy yogurt, and 1 egg. Let stand 15 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Using 1/4 cup, spoon batter onto griddle. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Control Towers To Stay Open at 5 Illinois airports
Friday's announcement means towers stay open at St. Louis Regional Airport, Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington-Normal, Decatur Airport, Southern Illinois Airport serving Carbondale and Murphysboro, and Waukegan Regional Airport
The control towers had been slated to close June 15 as the result of automatic spending cuts imposed by Congress. They will now remain open at least through Sept. 30, the end of the federal budget year.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Democrat, says closing the towers would have "at minimum, slowed down flights" to the airports. U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, a Republican, also praised the Federal Aviation Administration's decision.

This edition of the antiques series comes from England's capital, London, with the valuations taking place at historic London Zoo. Paul Martin is joined by experts Will Axon and Thomas Plant, who compete with the animals to gain the crowd's attention as they value their antiques and collectibles. Among the items are some unusual horse regalia and medals that give a fascinating insight into some of Regent's Park's earlier residents.
Presenter Paul Martin delves into the zoo's rich archives to find out there was more to the poet Edward Lear's talents than his nonsense poetry and limericks when he uncovers some sublime early portraits of parrots, painted at the zoo many years before Lear ever dreamed of an owl and a pussycat.
And the crowd enjoy a limerick competition in homage to Edward Lear and his association with the zoo.

In chalking up three successive world drivers' championship victories, the German has added his name to the honour roll of winners at almost every track on the circuit.
Only a few races have eluded him, most notably in his homeland Germany, but also the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal.
The demanding street circuit, with its long straights and slow, tight corners, does not suit Vettel's Red Bull but his failure to win there has had little to do with his car.
In 2011, he seemingly had the race at his mercy when he charged to the lead after a long rain delay only to make a mistake on the last lap, sliding wide and allowing Jenson Button to overtake him for the checkered flag.
"Obviously one of the craziest moments was in 2011," he recalled as he looked ahead to Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.
"I made my first mistake of the race which cost us the win. But that's racing."
Determined to make amends, Vettel started last year's grand prix from pole position and led the early part of the 70 lap race. But he lost pace over the final laps and was lucky to finish fourth after skimming the wall near the end.
Although he leads the world standings with 107 points, a victory on Sunday is anything but assured.
There have been four different winners from the six races this season. Only Vettel and Fernando Alonso have won twice.
Unlike Vettel, Alonso has tasted victory at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit before, winning in 2006, en route to his second world title with Renault.
Alonso is third in the title race, 29 points behind Vettel, and Ferrari have not won at the track since 2004, when Michael Schumacher was behind the controls.
Kimi Raikkonen, the 2007 world champion, is second on 86 points. He won the season-opener in Australia for Lotus and finished runner-up in three successive races before fading to 10th at the last race in Monaco.
The Finn won in Montreal in 2005 but said it remains one of the most unpredictable events on the F1 calendar.
"Many times the race has been quite a lottery as there seem to be different things which affect it." he said.
"The weather can change a lot, sometimes the tyres or the track aren't working very well, sometimes there are a lot of safety cars, or sometimes another driver runs into the back of you when you're waiting at a red light."
If recent form is any guide, Mercedes could be the team to beat this weekend. Germany's Nico Rosberg has set the fastest times in qualifying to snatch pole position at each of the past three races and won in Monaco.
"Monaco was a fantastic weekend for the team and I'm so proud of the victory that we achieved there. We'll be hoping to maintain that momentum in Canada this weekend," Rosberg said.
Hamilton, who started on pole in China and has two podium finishes this season, is a Canadian Grand Prix specialist, winning in 2007, 2010 and last year.
He is tied with Nelson Piquet for the second most wins in Montreal, trailling only Schumacher, who has won a record seven times.
"The circuit itself is really special," the Englishman said.
"It's very high-speed, great fun to drive and it's definitely a track where late braking helps.
"It's not too far off a Monaco-style circuit where you need a similar set-up to bounce off the kerbs so we should be quite competitive, although looking after the tyres will be our main challenge."
