Obamas double talk (ISRAEL HAYOM OP-ED) Dr. Haim Shine 03/28/12)

Israel Hayom
Israel Hayom Articles-Index-Top
There is an old Hebrew proverb that walls have ears. This saying is a warning to people to speak carefully you never know who is listening, even in private discussions.
U.S. President Barack Obama learned this simple and obvious lesson more than once. The first time was last November, when he exchanged unflattering remarks about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and they were embarrassingly caught on tape and widely reported. The second time was two days ago at a nuclear security summit in South Korea when an open microphone picked up a private conversation between Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that was later broadcast around the world.
I would smile about these mishaps and attribute them to Obamas disregard for open microphones if the remarks he made had not been so alarming. What he said was serious, and should concern anyone who cares about the world. The credibility of the U.S. president is a strategic weapon in the global battle against the forces of evil, which, for some reason, get support from China and Russia.
The topic of conversation between Obama and Medvedev was the planned deployment of an American missile shield on European soil a plan initiated by former U.S. President George W. Bush. Russia obviously objected to the plan and vowed retaliatory measures. Obama, without realizing that the conversation was being recorded, asked Medvedev not to pressure him on this issue until after the upcoming election, when he would have more flexibility or, in other words, have the freedom to ax this plan, which is considered a first line of defense in the event of a missile attack on the West.
The conclusion reached from this exchange is harsh and frightening. Basic security decisions are being dictated by election concerns. Or, more accurately, the U.S. is speaking with two different voices. One American voice targets its constituents at home and another, different voice speaks to foreign audiences. How can the U.S.s allies take American promises seriously when they are affected by political campaign dictates?
This double message also affects the Middle East. The issue that troubles Israel most, and justifiably, is the nuclearization of Iran. It is a palpable and existential threat for the state of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gone to great lengths to convince the world to confront the Iranian nuclear issue. In light of a U.S. promise to spearhead diplomatic and economic efforts to stop Irans nuclear program, Israel agreed to hold off on a military strike, even though a delay could make a future strike more difficult. Israel, like others, hopes that sanctions will prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. But its leaders have been operating on the assumption that if sanctions fail, the U.S. would follow through with its promise that "all options are on the table."
Considering Obamas recent behavior, I wonder whether his aggressive declarations on Iran are perhaps nothing more than campaign promises aimed at regaining the Jewish vote that he lost due to his policies toward Israel. Will he renege on his promises on Iran after the election, knowing that he cant run for another term?
When the president of the U.S. reveals that there is a gap between what he thinks and what he says in the lead-up to elections, any freedom-seeking person should be concerned.

Monday, February 21 2011 - Anthrax
Expert Panel Is Critical of F.B.I. Work in Investigating Anthrax Letters
By Scott Shane
WASHINGTON -- A review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's scientific
work on the investigation of the anthrax letters of 2001 concludes that the
bureau overstated the strength of genetic analysis linking the mailed anthrax
to a supply kept by Bruce E. Ivins, the Army microbiologist whom the investigators
blamed for the attacks.
The review, by a panel convened by the National Academy of Sciences, says the genetic analysis "did not definitively demonstrate" that the mailed anthrax spores were grown from a sample taken from Dr. Ivins's laboratory at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md. It does add, however, that the evidence is "consistent with and supports an association" between Dr. Ivins's flask and the attack anthrax.
The academy's report faults the F.B.I. as failing to take advantage of scientific methods developed between the mailings in 2001 and its conclusion after Dr. Ivins's suicide in 2008 that he was the sole perpetrator.
"In subsequent years, the investigators did not fully exploit molecular methods to identify and characterize" anthrax samples, the report said.
Nothing in the 170-page academy report directly refutes the conclusion of what was by most estimates the most expensive and manpower-intensive criminal investigation in American history. The academy panel, which was paid $1.1 million by the F.B.I. for its review, assessed only the scientific aspects of the investigation and not the traditional detective work.
Alice P. Gast, chairwoman of the 16-member scientific panel and president of Lehigh University, said Tuesday at a news conference that it "could be fruitful" for any future review to consider both scientific and police work. But Dr. Gast said the exclusive scientific focus permitted her panel to go into depth on the role played by science in the "national emergency" set off by the anthrax attacks.
Dr. Gast, a chemical engineer, said the panel reached no conclusion as to Dr. Ivins's guilt or innocence.
The academy said the 9,600 pages of F.B.I. documents it used in its review would be made available to the public on request. The last 500 pages were provided by the F.B.I. only in November, after the bureau was given the final draft of the report for review and objected to some conclusions, leading to some changes to the report.
In a joint statement, the F.B.I. and the Justice Department did not directly dispute the weaknesses the academy identified. Instead, the statement said the panel of scientists "reiterates what is and is not possible to establish through science alone in a criminal investigation of this magnitude."
The F.B.I. "has long maintained that while science played a significant role, it was the totality of the investigative process that determined the outcome of the anthrax case," the statement said. It said Dr. Ivins "was determined to be the perpetrator of the deadly mailings."
Representative Rush D. Holt, a New Jersey Democrat and physicist who has followed the case, said he thought the academy's review showed that "the F.B.I. attached too much certainty to the scientific parts of the case."
"I also think it shows the case was closed prematurely," Mr. Holt said.
He said he was reintroducing a bill to create a national commission, similar to the Sept. 11 panel, to take a more comprehensive look at the anthrax case and its implications.
In an interview, three investigators who spent years on the case expressed frustration with the academy's findings but said the report raised no questions that change the conclusion about Dr. Ivins. The investigators, who were not authorized to speak on the record, said the academy report merely underscored the difference between pure science and the reality of gathering evidence in a criminal case.
"The totality of the evidence incriminating Dr. Ivins is overwhelming," one investigator said.
He noted, among a long list of circumstantial evidence, the unusual late hours Dr. Ivins spent alone in his lab in the days leading up to the two anthrax mailings and a recorded conversation with a colleague in which Dr. Ivins made equivocal statements about whether he was involved in the anthrax mailings.
Dr. Ivins's guilt has been adamantly denied by many of his colleagues at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, where he was seen as an eccentric but popular character. The academy's report is likely to renew claims by the F.B.I.'s critics that the bureau merely took advantage of Dr. Ivins's suicide to close the case.
The academy report calls for another look at tests that indicated the possible presence of anthrax at a primitive lab used by Al Qaeda; the report does not give its location, but such a lab was found in Afghanistan after the American invasion. The anthrax investigators said an exhaustive review, including interviews with Qaeda operatives who used the facility, found no evidence that it was capable of producing the anthrax powder in the mailings.
The anthrax letters were dropped in a Princeton, N.J., mailbox in September and October of 2001, and killed five people and sickened at least 17 others. Coming shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, the letters set off a national scare over bioterrorism and led to a huge increase in government spending on biodefense.

10 Best Winter Travel Spots
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
They said it wouldn't last—and they were right. After 72 days, Kim Kardashian's fairy-tale marriage to Kris Humphries did not have a happy ending. Those who tuned in to E's two-part four-hour special—which the network re-aired this week to capitalize on the divorce announcement —got a glimpse of trouble even before the couple walked down the aisle. "I have been planning my wedding since I was 10 years old!" Kim shouted at Kris. His charming response? "And you could just slot any guy into it!" Which is apparently true, as a source close to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians production told Radar Online, "It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start. Kim was looking for a husband, and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn't really into him, but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings. But it never happened." So he was canceled.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
The marriage of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt has had all the classic plot twists—a fake elopement, a made-for-TV wedding (which she later deemed "a nightmare"), a fake separation (to boost her career), and an eventual renewal of wedding vows. "It's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else, and it's just about her," Pratt said after the third ceremony. "Last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings." The couple then released a wedding photo to the media.

Here's a typical scenario: A line-of-business manager runs out of patience waiting for IT to procure and deploy software for a sales incentive program. Time to head to the cloud and fire up a SaaS app for that.
Except now the LoB manager -- not IT -- is responsible for provisioning users and running reports, passing data to and from accounting and HR, plus keeping that data secure. The 150 pages of documentation for the SaaS app become frequent bedtime reading.
[ Take InfoWorld's Navigating IT survey for a chance to win $500. | Understand how to both manage and benefit from the consumerization of IT trend with InfoWorld's "Consumerization Digital Spotlight" PDF special report. ]
Here's another example: A marketing manager runs out of patience waiting for IT to build a mobile application. So off he goes to a cloud service that enables him to create an application from a template. It works, and his users love it. But it also needs to integrate with an existing local database, not all data should be exposed to all users, some users complain about bugs, new feature requests start rolling in ... and the marketing manager finds himself learning to become a development manager.
More simply, can you honestly say you've never had trouble setting up your work email on your smartphone by yourself?
Yes, conventional, centralized IT has lost power, and many tech decisions are devolving to LoB and departmental levels or to individual users. Often, tech procured directly from providers is more functional than what IT used to deliver. But now that business has broken IT, it has also bought it. Here's some crazy glue -- you figure out how to put it together.
Opting for the cloud isn't the same as outsourcing. The very nature of cloud computing is self-service. And although initial adoption may seem simple, downstream things have a tendency to get complicated.
Business users can manage that complexity when you're talking about a single application. But business computing doesn't work that way. Whether applications reside in the data center or in the public cloud, there needs to be a framework for security, integration, and best practices. Often, workflows and customer or product data cross many different applications. You really need an enterprise architecture that incorporates self-service and guards against new data siloes and security risks.
I'm a great believer in avoiding bureaucracy and enabling users to adopt cloud or mobile applications to enable them to do what they need to do. Today, at least part of the job of IT -- maybe most of the job in newer, smaller companies -- is to provide a framework for people to engage in self-service and not get hurt.
That cultural and operational shift is already well under way. One the one hand, you can say IT is shrinking. On the other, you can say IT has many more conscripts, since business users' DIY activity means more interaction with a broader range of technology than ever before. To those new arrivals, I say welcome to the club. I would love to hear from those of you who have become accidental IT pros and how we can support you in "getting it done" on your own recognizance.

Phil Robertson breaks his silence
Phil Robertson has broken his silence for the first time since his anti-gay remarks and subsequent apology, saying, "I will not give or back off from my path."
Robertson invited the Daily Mail to a small Bible study group he was leading in West Monroe, Louisiana on Sunday, during which he defended himself while sticking to his original statements.
The "Duck Dynasty" star said, "I love all men and women. I am a lover of humanity, not a hater."
Robertson went on to tell his study group that Jesus could save gay people.
He preached, "Sex and immorality goes ballistic. All the diseases that just so happen to follow sexual mischief… boy there are some microbes running around now."
Robertson continued, "Sexual sins are numerous and many, I have a few myself. So what is your safest course of action? If you're a man, find yourself a woman, marry them and keep your sex right there."
The Duck Commander businessman went on to repeat that homosexuality is "sinful," adding, "I am just reading what was written over 2000 years ago. Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom."
Robertson further hit back at those who were offended by his GQ comments, saying, "All I did was quote from the scriptures, but they just didn't know it."
He also responded to those who called him ignorant, sharing, "We are a bunch of rednecks from Louisiana, but I am not uneducated, I have a degree from Louisiana Tech. But this week I have been called an ignoramus."

The Twins' 5 Goals for the rest of 2010
Here is the list of goals for Ron Gardenhire to post in the clubhouse until the conclusion of the 2010 season. The goals are listed in order of importance and in order of the sequence in which they need to occur.
Goal #1: Qualify for the playoffs. The Twins need to find some way to make make the playoffs as either the AL Central Champion or as the AL Wild Card winner. Either spot would be sufficient. There needs to be playoff baseball during the first season of Target Field. Hopefully some of the magic from the Metrodome years has made the trip across downtown.
Goal #2: Win the AL Central. With a four game lead, the Twins are heading in the right direction. The White Sox are not going to go away lightly. They are a very good team with the pieces in place to catch the Twins down the stretch. The Twins are in a new position over the last couple of seasons. They are the team being chased instead of the one doing the chasing. Hopefully they don't get complacent and allow the Sox to sneak up on them. Another Game 163 would be too much drama for the Twins fan base to take.
Goal #3: Make it through the 1st Round of the Playoffs. No matter how well the Twins have been playing entering the playoffs, they seem to have a hang-up getting through the ALDS. The Yankees have been the rival that has stood in the Twins' playoff path. It will be interesting to see if the Twins and Yankees meet-up again at some point in this years post-season tournament.
Goal #4: Win the ALCS. The Twins have not been to the ALCS since 2002. They have not won the ALCS since 1991. Almost a decade later, it is time for the Twins to conquer this obstacle.
Goal #5: World Series Champs. No explanation needed.
Bonus Goal: There is another goal that I think is within the Twins grasp as they make their push towards the Fall Classic. The Twins should push to catch both the Yankees and the Rays for the best record in the American League. Going into play today the Twins are four games behind the both of the leaders in the AL East. With 41 games left to play and the Twins playing well, there is a chance that they could catch and pass both of these teams. It would be great to know that the road to the 2010 World Series had to come through Target Field.
The goals are in place. Their sights are set. Let's party like its 1991....or 1987.

I appreciate what you're saying here, CC. And I love your blog, by the way. Your 5 goals are, indeed, what every Twins fan has been prioritizing in their heads for several years.
However, I think what we need to focus on are some shorter-term goals to accomplish the big ones. What difficult questions can the Twins answer down the stretch? What can the Twins do to push it that extra mile?

Thanks for the comment. There will always be smaller goals that will lead a team to their bigger goals for the season. I was trying to lay down some of the bigger goals for the year. Also the fact that with how well the Twins are playing that they should try and catch the Yanks and the Rays.
Some of the little items that the Twins need to address include:
1. Making sure their players are healthy (Morneau, most of the infield, etc.)
2. Finding some consistency from the bullpen. (Capps, Rauch, etc.)
3. Getting consistency from all of the hitters.
There is still a chunk of the season left. Hopefully some of these smaller details take care of themselves as the end of the season nears.

In light of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) December 2nd announcement regarding its prohibited items list, Families of September 11 renews its calls for complete and effective aviation security. We are pleased that no knives of any length will be allowed on planes, a notion once considered, but correctly rejected by TSA Director Kip Hawley. We are also encouraged that emphasis will be placed on explosive detection, an area in aviation security that has lagged behind far too long.
However, the relaxation of rules regarding scissors and tools is a step back in aviation security, a step we cannot afford to take. Terrorists demonstrated the lethal effect of small sharp objects on September 11, 2001, and we must remain vigilant against the use of any weapon, no matter its size. Since small scissors and tools are currently considered dangerous and are accordingly banned. We see no change that makes them any safer by December 22nd, when they are scheduled to be allowed on airplanes.
FOS11 supports congressional efforts to keep the prohibited item list intact to ensure the safety of the flying public. We believe that explosive detection at airport checkpoints is critical to aviation security, but it need not come at the expense of conventional weapon detection. FOS11 remains committed to ensuring the highest level of aviation security to protect airplane passengers, crews, and the American public.
Families of September 11, Inc. (FOS11) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the interests of 9/11 victims and their families and advocating for public policies that respond to terrorism. The organization has more than 2,000 members worldwide representing over 1,500 family members and 500 concerned citizens, survivors, and witnesses of the attacks interested in advancing FOS11's goals.

(Release: August 2, 2012) - Hagerstown Community College and Drexel University Online recently signed an agreement that will allow students to complete a bachelor's degree in nursing through the two schools. The agreement allows students to complete 90 credits at HCC and the remaining 30 credits through Drexel's online program. HCC students will receive a 25 percent discount on Drexel's tuition.
"The partnership with a top-ranking BSN program like Drexel enables our HCC students to make a seamless transition from HCC to Drexel, allowing them to continue to a BSN program as soon as possible after receiving their associate's degree," said Karen Hammond, director of nursing at HCC. "According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Report on the Future of Nursing, 80 percent of nurses are to be BSN prepared by 2020. Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are requiring that RNs obtain their BSN within 10 years or less after graduation."
This is the only agreement that HCC has which allows its nursing students to finish a bachelor's degree program online. For more information, contact Karen Hammond at firstname.lastname@example.com or 240-500-2241.

The effort to restore the Naples Island seawall remains stalled in a quagmire of red tape.
The plan must first pass muster with the state Coastal Commission. Councilman Gary DeLong, whose 3rd District includes the 107-year-old seawall, said he expects to review the plans soon with commission staff in an effort to get the project under way.
That could be challenging.
Chuck Posner, analyst for the Coastal Commission, said the push for restoration in the canal waters could have negative impacts on marine eelgrass. That would require a mitigation plan, he said this week.
Restoration work in the canal waters isn't consistent with the state Coastal Act, Posner said, adding that the mitigation measures must be spelled out in the coastal development permit application that the commission will review.
"We won't take (the permit application) to the commission until the application is complete," he emphasized.
Eric Lopez, Tidelands capital projects program manager, was unavailable for comment this week.
Meanwhile, more than 250 Naples Island homes are considered vulnerable to flooding if the 107-year-old seawall crumbles during an extreme storm or an earthquake.
"Upon review of our seawall stability analysis results, all of the seawalls are at risk of failure in a `major' near-source earthquake," a 2009 city engineering study warns.
Yet despite the city having $9.5 million on hand to begin the seawall restoration, the project has been stalled over two environmental issues - whether to reinforce the wall on the water side or land side.
Experts say work on the water side could damage important marine life, and 13 palm trees would have to be uprooted in the process.
Work on the land side, however, would require removing 67 palm trees, which some environmentalists say are nesting sites for exotic egrets and herons.
City officials recently notified the Coastal Commission staff that the city wants to do the repairs on the water side, according to Lopez in a June interview.
"Due to cost considerations, less impacts to existing trees, reduced risk of damaging private property and uncertainty related to underground structures installed during past seawall repair efforts, the city's consultant has recommended the water-side repair option," he said at the time.
The water-side repairs would improve the "seismic capacity of the seawall and protect the value of adjacent residential properties," a city report states.
The land-side repairs, on the other hand, are designed to have the "least impact on ... channel depth, channel width and eliminate corrosive materials from the construction," the report says.
However, city arborist Jerry Rowland also warned that 67 palm trees would be removed if the land-side project is selected, to assure that the tree roots won't undermine the restored wall.
The canals were dredged in 1905, and the original walls were constructed of wood in 1923. However, the wall was damaged in the 1933 earthquake.
Pre-cast concrete walls were constructed in 1938-39, and through the years, until the early 1960s, the walls sank underwater 1.5 feet, according to a Public Works report. High tides, the report added, had crested over the seawalls.
The seawall system is divided by planners into three segments: Naples Island, where about 82 properties and Colonnade Park front the water; Landside, which has about 133 waterfront properties; and Treasure Island, which has 39 properties on the water.
In 2010, the council earmarked $9.5 million for the Phase 1 work to fix the most deteriorated part of the wall.
Repairing the entire structure would cost an estimated $60 million, to be completed in six phases.

Sri Aurobindo was a great intellectual, a very convincing, rational philosophical genius. He convinced many people, and those many people convinced him that he was enlightened. He knows nothing of enlightenment. It is true that there is something more in existence than the enlightenment Gautam the Buddha achieved. But it is Gautam the Buddha himself who, for the first time in the world, indicated the possibility of the beyond. Naturally, nobody else can say that there is something beyond - unless they reach that boundary. So when Sri Aurobindo says there is something more than the enlightenment of Gautam Buddha, he is hiding the fact that it was Gautam Buddha himself who was the first man in the whole of history to say that "This is not all; there is something beyond."
Buddha says - and you can see the sincerity of the man - "A man who has entered the path, srotapanna, who has entered the stream that leads to the ocean, is millions of times more respectable than anybody else, just because he has entered the path in search of the truth. He has not found, but just the urge, just the effort, the first step, and he has become millions of times more honorable than all your respectable generals, kings, emperors and world conquerors. "The person who has reached the point from which he will not turn back, anagamin, is millions of times more honorable than the srotapanna, than the one who has entered the stream. And the man who has become enlightened, who has become a buddha, is millions of times more honorable than the person who has reached the point of no return."
The point of no return is something worth understanding. Many people start the search and then drop out. It is arduous, it is moving into the unknown; nobody knows whether there is anything like enlightenment or if it is just a fiction created by a few people like Gautam Buddha. Perhaps they are not lying, perhaps they themselves are deceived - who knows? There is no guarantee.
So many start, but very few remain. Most of them return to the world sooner or later, finding that they are going into an unknown territory without a map, without any guide. They start feeling crazy because the whole world is going in a totally different direction, and they are left alone. Their whole strength was in the crowd. Alone, a thousand and one doubts arise. Alone, one starts feeling that millions of people cannot be wrong, "And I am alone, thinking that I am right - I must be getting crazy."
Anagamin is one who has come to a point from where he cannot return. He is not enlightened but he has seen, from far away, the possibility. He has not reached the peak; he is still in the dark valley. But he can see the sunlit peak; it is a reality, it is not a fiction. Now there is no force in the world, which can make him go back.
Buddha says, "But the one who has become enlightened is millions of times more honorable than the person who has reached the point of no return." And here is the sincerity of the man - he says: "The man who has transcended buddhahood, who has gone beyond enlightenment, is millions of times more honorable than anyone who is enlightened." He is not claiming that he has gone beyond; he is simply saying "I can see from my place that faraway star."
And he was the first to see that faraway star: beyond enlightenment.

Rossi, Jomby, Lai Earn Spots in NCAA Singles, Doubles Championship
May 1, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Senior Anthony Rossi, junior Tom Jomby and freshman Kevin Lai were all selected to compete in the 2013 NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships to be held in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., it was announced on Wednesday.
Rossi will be the No. 4 overall seed in the singles championship bracket, as Jomby makes the field as an at-large player. In addition, Jomby will team with Lai as the duo who is currently No. 9 in the nation received an invitation to compete in the championship.
Rossi moved into the top five of the national Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings last week for the first time in his career after compiling a 2-0 record in the SEC Tournament and going 22-5 on the year in singles. Rossi has played the No. 1 position for every match but one this season, including matching up against four top-10 ranked players in the country. Rossi has two victories over No. 6 KU Singh of Georgia, with both coming in straight sets. In addition, he also has a win over No. 10 Raymond Sarmiento of Southern California, 6-3, 6-4. Rossi became just the 15th player in UK tennis history to eclipse the 100-career win mark earlier this season as he joined the likes of Eric Quigley and Alex Musialek in UK's recent run of major success.
Tom Jomby has also combined with Rossi to form one of the best one-two punches in NCAA Tennis today. Jomby in singles performed brilliantly during the season, going 19-6 with a signature win over No. 4 Peter Kobelt of Ohio State, 6-3, 7-6 (3). Jomby played 17 ranked opponents this season, and etched wins in 10 of those matches out, with eight of the 10 coming in straight sets.
Jomby also forms the Wildcats number one doubles team, teaming up with freshman Kevin Lai, who together have endured a 15-8 season together. Included in Jomby and Lai's major wins were wins over No. 3 Daniel Cochrane/Andres Mies of Auburn 8-6. Jomby and Lai played a greatly-important tiebreaker last week at the SEC Tournament, as they came from down a break to win 9-8 (5), and clinch the doubles point over No. 9 Mississippi State. Jomby and Lai have won seven matches this season against ranked opponents, and are currently ranked No. 8 in the nation.
The NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships will be held following the NCAA Team Championships in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., hosted by the University of Illinois. The competition in singles and doubles will get underway on May 15 and continue through the 27th of the month.

How far things have fallen with their once promising star and now the Twins find themselves in a precarious position with their pitcher that has never been able to regain his dominant form. The Twins are in the sixth year of the Liriano experiment and the results are turning out to be far worse than the hypothesis suggested back in 2006. One of the top prospects in all of baseball at 22-years old and now at 28, he seems to have reached his sticking point with the Twins.
It is looking more and more like Liriano's career will be over with the Twins by the time the start of next season rolls around. There will be plenty of people who ask the question, "What went wrong with this young man?" His Tommy John surgery obviously played a role in diminishing some of his ability but he has shown flashes of brilliance since returning to the mound. But there has to be more to the downfall of Liriano.
The Twins have tried a variety of approaches with Liriano during his tenure with the team. They have let him pitch in winter ball some seasons to see if that better prepared him for the start of the year. Some of the coaching staff has attempted to find different ways for Liriano to approach his pitching style to see if that would consummate better results on the field. All of these changes in approach might have come off as mixed messages to Liriano and this could have messed up some of his ability on the field.
2006 message to Liriano: "Go out and dominate by throwing your nasty stuff to every player in the line-up."This message sounded good at the time but everyone knew his violent delivery seemed posed for some kind of arm issue. The first half of the 2006 season was magical with Liriano and Johan Santana destroying the American League with their pitching efforts. It seemed like these two players might be enough to carry the Twins all the way to their first World Series in over 15 years. Liriano had dominant stuff so there was not much thought that he needed to put into his pitching. All he had to do was step on the mound and his electric stuff would take care of any batter who dug into the box.
2008-09 message to Liriano: "We really liked what you did before you got hurt so let's try and get you back to that point."Learning how to pitch after Tommy John surgery can be a challenge for some players. Liriano had been so dominant before the procedure and that filled him with confidence. Since he lost a little off of his dominant stuff, he was going to need to learn how to be a pitcher. This process wouldn't be pretty but the Twins still had hope that Liriano would be able to reach his ace potential once again.
2010 message to Liriano: "You have the stuff to be an ace and your injury is behind you. Now it's time to show that you are an ace."Liriano seemed to put it all together and the team looked like they had finally found their ace for the coming years. His confidence grew and the results were positive on the field. There were still some moments of weakness where nerves would get the best of Liriano but he seemed to have turned a corner. He was one of the top ten pitchers in the American League and on his way to being an ace.
2011 message to Liriano: "Maybe switching to being a pitch to contact starter will help be even better."In the offseason, Liriano took the winter off because of the high number of innings he pitched in 2010. He came to spring training out of shape and he had not been performing some of the elbow exercises the team had given him as part of his offseason workout regime. To overcome some of these problems, the Twins gave Liriano a new message. He wasn't suppose to try and strike everyone out because then he didn't last very long into the game. He should still get a strikeout when he could but a quick ground out was just as good as a K. The coaching staff had used this concept with other pitchers in the organization and it had served them well in the past. That wasn't the case with Mr. Liriano.
2012 message to Liriano: "Relax. Don't let the bad outcomes on the mound impact your results to the following batters. Become a pitcher and not a thrower."The biggest part of the message to Liriano might be the fact that he needs to relax on the mound. When Liriano seems to start to unravel, the catcher is suppose to be able to bring him back to reality and calm his nerves. Parker Hageman also notes that there seems to be something wrong with Liriano's mechanics. This will only add to the list of things the Twins need to change with Liriano for him to find success this year.
Ron Gardenhire and Rick Anderson are probably the two men that have given plenty of messages to Liriano over the years. At this point in his career, the multitude of messages given to him has yet to change the course of his career in a more positive direction. It's looking more and more like Liriano might be better off with another team and new voices trying to get the message through to him. Now it seems the only question remaining is if the Twins can get anything for Liriano or if he will walk for free in the offseason.

GSA Receives House Approval to Establish The New Federal Acquisition Service
April 6, 2006
Contact: Neil Franz, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that its plan to create the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) has received approval from the U.S. House Appropriations subcommittee with oversight for the agency. GSA hopes for a quick and similar response from Senate Appropriations leaders. FAS will be formed by the merger of GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS) and the Federal Technology Service (FTS).
"We are very pleased that the House has granted us the approval to move ahead, and we have received encouraging signs from the Senate," said Acting GSA Administrator David L. Bibb. "Final congressional approval will put us squarely on the path to strengthen our agency's ability to compete in the changing marketplace."
The FAS plan was approved by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, The Judiciary, District of Columbia and Independent Agencies, chaired by Rep. Joseph Knollenberg (R-MI). GSA delivered the plan to Congress on February 27, following a request for review by the House and Senate Appropriations committees.
This new FAS will include five major customer centers, among these:
- Customer Accounts and Research (CAR). CAR will permit FAS to better understand customer requirements and become a strategic partner in helping agencies meet their requirements.
- Acquisition Management. The FAS emphasis on acquisition management will ensure that its activities are fully compliant with laws, regulations and policies, and that operating practices are consistent across business lines.
- Integrated Technology Services. This portfolio combines the business lines from information technology, some professional services, and telecommunications.
- General Supplies and Services. This portfolio acquires a broad range of commercial products as well as some professional services, as well as GSA specialized logistics-based activities.
- Travel, Motor, Vehicle, and Card Services. This portfolio operates with respective supplier industries but shares commonalities for customers that provide opportunities for synergy and scale.
In turn, each portfolio will be comprised of various divisions in order to serve customer needs and establish GSA as the federal community's agency of choice when it comes to acquiring goods, services and other workplace needs.
The new FAS competencies in acquisition excellence, program expertise and policy compliance will provide value to the taxpayer by:
- Lowering the cost of government by efficiently leveraging the government's buying power to obtain the best value in products and services from suppliers at the lowest possible transaction cost.
- Increasing value to commercial suppliers of all types and sizes, by creating consistent and innovative processes to offer their products and services to government agencies more efficiently.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

What is doxycycline (Periostat)?
Doxycycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. It fights bacteria in the body.
Doxycycline is used to treat many different bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, acne, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, periodontitis (gum disease), and others.
Doxycycline is also used to treat blemishes, bumps, and acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. Doxycycline will not treat facial redness caused by rosacea.
Doxycycline may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of doxycycline?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- severe headache, dizziness, blurred vision;
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, swollen glands, rash or itching, joint pain, or general ill feeling;
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody
- pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, confusion or weakness;

Read the Periostat (doxycycline hyclate) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about doxycycline?
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in life.
Doxycycline can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while using doxycycline.
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to doxycycline or to other tetracycline antibiotics such as demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), or tetracycline (Brodspec, Panmycin, Sumycin, Tetracap).
Before taking doxycycline, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney disease, asthma, or if you are allergic to sulfites.
Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking doxycycline.
Children should not use doxycycline. Doxycycline can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking doxycycline?
You should not take this medicine if you are allergic to doxycycline or to other tetracycline antibiotics such as demeclocycline (Declomycin), minocycline (Dynacin, Minocin, Solodyn, Vectrin), or tetracycline (Brodspec, Panmycin, Sumycin, Tetracap).
To make sure you can safely take doxycycline, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- liver disease;
- kidney disease; or
- asthma or sulfite allergy.
If you are using doxycycline to treat gonorrhea, your doctor may test you to make sure you do not also have syphilis, another sexually transmitted disease.
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use doxycycline if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in life. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment.
Doxycycline can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while using doxycycline.
Doxycycline passes into breast milk and may affect bone and tooth development in a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking doxycycline.
Children should not use doxycycline. Doxycycline can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.
How should I take doxycycline?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take doxycycline with a full glass of water. Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking doxycycline.
Different brands of doxycycline may have different instructions about taking them with or without food.
Most brands of doxycyline may be taken with food or milk if the medicine upsets your stomach.
Take Oracea or Periostat on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
You may open a Doryx capsule or break up a Doryx tablet and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Drink a full glass (8 ounces) of cool water right away.
Do not crush, break, or open a delayed-release capsule. Swallow the pill whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. The enteric coated pill has a special coating to protect your stomach. Breaking the pill will damage this coating.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Doxycycline will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using doxycycline. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date on the label has passed. Using expired doxycycline can cause damage to your kidneys.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
What should I avoid while taking doxycycline?
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop taking doxycycline and call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Doxycycline can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, antacids, or laxatives within 2 hours before or after taking doxycycline.
What other drugs will affect doxycycline?
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
- cholesterol-lowering medications such as cholestyramine (Prevalite, Questran) or colestipol (Colestid);
- isotretinoin (Accutane);
- tretinoin (Renova, Retin-A, Vesanoid);
- an antacid such as Tums, Rolaids, Milk of Magnesia, Maalox, and others;
- a product that contains bismuth subsalicylate such as Pepto-Bismol;
- minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements;
- a blood thinner such as warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven); or
- a penicillin antibiotic such as amoxicillin (Amoxil, Augmentin, Dispermox, Moxatag), ampicillin (Principen, Unasyn), dicloxacillin (Dycill, Dynapen), oxacillin (Bactocill), or penicillin (Bicillin L-A, PC Pen VK, Pfizerpen).
This list is not complete and other drugs may interact with doxycycline. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about doxycycline.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

robert m.gurney, faia, alexandria, va.
When Bob Gurney's clients asked him to design an addition to their 1799 farmhouse in the rolling hills of Washington, Va., his first instinct was to imagine a Modern glass pavilion. "It seemed more respectful than a seamless composition," he says. "I wanted there to be no doubt about what was old and what was new."
An internal reality check followed that initial reaction. The architect's pragmatic side doubted that the couple would accept the notion of annexing such a Modern piece to their beloved old house. Then the husband showed him a book on one of his favorite projects, Philip Johnson's Glass House. "I was apprehensive about proposing something so Modern," Gurney says. "But when the client pulled out the book on the Glass House, I realized they might be into the idea."
They were indeed. And they were very specific about their program. They asked Gurney for a new, expansive living and dining room to accommodate their growing family. Avid horseback riders and gardeners, the couple also needed a first-floor mudroom and bath where they could clean up after a day spent outdoors. And they wanted to add a bit of formality to the home's rear entrance, because most of their guests enter that way.
Gurney divided the addition into three parts. The steel-and-glass pavilion he first envisioned holds the living and dining room. Its roofline echoes that of the main house, and its transparent walls bring in views of the surrounding farmland as well as the distant Blue Ridge Mountains. "The room changes with the seasons and even with the time of day," notes builder Chris Stanton. A tall, narrow, clapboard structure containing the mudroom and bath is the second component, providing a vertical counterpart to balance out the more horizontal pavilion.
Designing the third section of the addition--the hall, stairway, and remodeled kitchen that together serve as the connective tissue between the new and old portions of the house--was the trickiest. Gurney combined elements consistent with the existing house, like heart-pine floors and a paneled pantry door, with more Modern items representing the newer portion: crisp white drywall, large panes of glass, and contemporary light fixtures. In the kitchen, he specified stainless steel appliances and clean-lined cherry cabinetry but left the original windows intact, wavy glass and all.
The stair hall forms an axis that subdivides the living/dining room and the mudroom, and continues outside to Gurney's minimally designed entry path. The path not only supplies the sense of arrival the owners wished for, but also helps link the farmhouse to its nearby outbuildings. "The addition makes you look harder at the older parts of the house," said one judge. "We could talk about this project all day," agreed another. "It is beautiful at every level."
