Sorry I've been away for awhile, but I've been fighting off a pretty nasty virus.===With Mitt Romney looking more like the Republican nominee after yesterday's wins in Michigan and Arizona, I should examine one of President Obama's talking points against the Mittster, the one about how Romney wanted Detroit to go bankrupt. Here's the President:
The Republican party abandoned it's born-again principles, when the GOP-led House agreed to a $143 billion deal to extend the payroll tax for another year and extend unemployment benefits:
Here's President Blameshifter explaining why he failed to fulfill his February 2009 promise to cut the budget deficit in half in his first term:
Putting issues of religious freedom aside for a moment, the controversy President Obama has created over "free" contraception comes down to this:
You probably remember that President Obama's payroll tax cut was extended for two months near the end of December.
What you may not know is who paid for the payroll tax cut:
The number of Americans dependent on government rose substantially during the first two years of Obama's presidency:
Supreme Court Justices are sworn to uphold the Constitution Of The United States. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that we select Justices who have respect for that document. That's why it was fairly disturbing to discover that one particular liberal Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, does not think so highly of our Constitution:
Here are your public education tax dollars at work:
We had a pretty good jobs report in January, with 243,000 jobs created. That's a good sign...but only if it continues. If we created 240,000 jobs every month, that would be 2.88 million jobs created over a year's time. Not too bad. If that continues for several YEARS, we'll be in decent shape, so I'm not going to get overly excited yet. Still, it's a good bit of news in what have been some bleak economic years.
Our economy is supposed to create jobs. That's normal. I looked at some jobs data going back through history, and every presidential administration since Calvin Coolidge has created jobs, with two exceptions - Herbert Hoover from 1929-1933 (the Great Depression), and Barack Obama. The only other President beside Hoover and Obama who didn't have net job creation during his first term was George W. Bush.
President Obama says Jesus wants to raise taxes:
We already know about the failure of Obama's stimulus investment in Solyndra, which cost the American taxpayers $535 million.
We found out a few days ago about the failure of Ener1, another Obama stimulus-funded alternative energy company, which has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The taxpayers put up $118 million for that one.

Nonetheless, it is Lirael in whose hands the fate of the Old Kingdom lies. She must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil, one that opposes the Royal Family, blocks the Sight of the Clayr, and threatens to break the very boundary between Life and Death itself. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog to help her, Lirael must find the courage to seek her own hidden destiny.
Don't miss books one and three of this trilogy! Sabriel and Abhorsen.
©2003 Garth Nix; (P)2003 Random House, Inc.
"A must-listen for fans of the first book, Lirael will also fascinate listeners new to the series." (School Library Journal)
I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"Charter Knows, a Library Can Be a Dangerous Place"
In Garth Nix' Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr (2001), the second novel in his Abhorsen trilogy, Touchstone and Sabriel are now the King and Abhorsen (anti-necromancer) of the Old Kingdom lying north of the Wall that separates their land of magic and pesky undead from the world of machines and countries in conflict (reminiscent of our early 20th century world). And things are not well in their Old Kingdom. An unknown "Enemy" is manipulating Necromancers into attacking villages with bands of undead "Hands" and "Shadowhands," while at Red Lake something ominous is happening that even the clairvoyant women of the Clayr are unable to see.
All fourteen-year-old Lirael wants is to gain the Sight like the other girls and women of the Clayr. Her black hair and brown eyes already mark her as too different the others, while her father is unknown and her mother abandoned her when she was a little girl. And each year on her birthday Lirael has grown older without gaining the Sight while increasingly younger girls have come into their own. Luckily, she is given a job as Third-Assistant Librarian in the nautilus shell-like ancient library of the Clayr, which suits the increasingly anti-social and magically curious girl. But poor Sameth, the teenage son of Touchstone and Sabriel, is pulled out of his elite boarding school south of the Wall and returned to the Palace at Bellisaere, where everyone expects him to train to succeed Sabriel as Abhorsen, when he is physically and mentally unable to even touch the Book of the Dead. Instead, he prefers fabricating magical "toys," like a nifty flying, mosquito-eating frog. Both young people are good young adult fantasy Ugly Ducklings: they believe that they are flawed and cannot fit in and yet are really gifted in ways destined to become appreciated.
Despite his young protagonists' morose moods, Nix writes his novel with humor and imagination. He has carefully constructed his magical world, in which most of the Free Magic that randomly pulses everywhere is ordered by the Charter, a seemingly infinite set of marks a bit like Chinese characters which adepts write on paper or in the air to make magic. Necromancers bypass the Charter to tap into Free Magic to do unnatural things like transform dead people into cannon fodder minions, while Charter Mages access it to protect the Kingdom, and the sole Abhorsen walks into Death (leaving his or her frosty body behind in the world) and then rings any of a set of seven bells to force the undead back down through the gates set in the river of Death till they reach their proper state.
Nix has great fun with that setting, imagining various nearly sentient magical books, constructs, sendings, spells, and artifacts. The most enjoyable such magical things in the novel are a pair of droll and mysterious talking "pets," the hungry, spunky, and loving Disreputable Dog, and the sarcastic, cynical, and sleepy white feline Mogget, both of whom are much more than they appear to be. The great thing about it all is that Nix often describes the magic with magical prose, vivid, sensual, and sublime, to evoke a sense of wonder, beauty, and terror (which are nearly absent from YA magical fantasy like the Harry Potter series).
Take, for example, the time Lirael loses control of a spell and "She tried to scream, but no sound came out, only Charter marks that leapt from her mouth towards the golden radiance. Charter marks continued to fly from her fingers, too, and swam in her eyes, spilling down inside her tears, which turned to steam as they fell." Even when nothing magical is happening, Nix may summon magic, as when Lirael is exploring the Library and finds herself in "a vast chamber, bigger even than the Great Hall. Charter marks as bright as the sun shone in the distant ceiling, hundreds of feet above. A huge oak tree filled the center of the room, in full summer leaf, its spreading branches shading a serpentine pool. And everywhere, throughout the cavern, there were flowers. Red flowers. Lirael bent down and picked one, uncertain if it was some sort of illusion. But it was real enough. She felt no magic, just the crisp stalk under her fingers. A red daisy, in full bloom."
And at his best, Nix writes suspenseful scenes that develop his world and characters and excite the reader, as when Lirael meets a stilken (a woman-shaped Free Magic entity with silver eyes and arms as long as her legs ending in the claws of a mantis), or when his heroes sail beneath a mile-wide bridge-city and are targeted by a crossbow bolt shooting assassin and a fiery Free Magic and swine-flesh construct masquerading as human.
When I read Lirael several years ago, I found it overlong and burdened by mopey characters, but I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the audiobook version, largely thanks to the virtuoso reading of Tim Curry. He deftly balances on the Edge of Too Much, reading with infectious relish lines by foul necromancers gloating over how they're about to kill you or Disreputable mongrels getting ready to sink their teeth into your calf to snap you out of your funk or snarky magical cats asking for fish after just failing to help save your skin. And isn't there a hint of Dr. Frank N. Furter in his Mogget?
Sabriel is a fresher and more self-contained book, whereas Lirael really makes part one of a duology completed by the third volume in the "trilogy," Abhorsen. But fans of imaginative and dark young adult magical fantasy and of Tim Curry should enjoy this book.
"Stands alone"
This thread of the story is close enough to Sabriel to be an old friend, but far enough to be new and interesting. Excellent as sequels go, Lireal doesn't burden the returning reader with reruns of Sabriel. It's a great stand-alone story, too. Tim Curry is the kind of narrator who could enthrall by reading a cereal box.
"Artfully crafted coming-of-age fantasy"
It was delightful to revisit the series that my twelve-year-old self counted as my absolute favorite of all time. I cannot think of a more talented or appropriate narrator for this book than Tim Curry. Between the excellent prose and Curry's performance, this familiar coming-of-age tale took on a new level of greatness. What I love most about Lireal is Nix's ability to portray a strong, but fallible human being who goes through the same insecurities that we all face while taking on impossible odds. The world of fantasy constructed by Nix is further explored and illuminated in this novel, and if anything, this sequel is better than its predecessor, Sabriel, which is also excellent. I would recommend it to readers of all ages because this book, and series, is one of the most artfully crafted, enthralling, and lingering fantasies I've ever encountered.
"As good as the first!"
If you read or listened to Sabriel (the first of this series), I would heartily reccomend that you listen to this book as well. The story is not as fast paced as the first, but the characters come alive during the course of the story. Sam and Lirael are both flawed, but that is what makes them interesting and real.
The ending will certainly leave you wanted more, but luckily the next book in line is waiting for you to download. Ah...The information age when everything you want can be instantly granted for you. Happy Listening.
I loved every minute of this book. The characters were just jumping out at me and as crazy as it sounds even 'Dog' was believable, but I guess that is just one of Garth Nix's gifts. He has an amazing way of making magical things seem absolutely lifelike. If you liked the first book 'Sabriel', I urge you to continue with the trilogy and give this one a shot.
"Wonderful, Riveting, but too Much Exposition"
Loved Lirael -- perhaps a shade less than Sabriel, but there it as. Wonderfully written, as was it's predecessor, and the character of Lirael is even more nuanced and interesting than Sabriel, if perhaps a little bit less "likable." The Old Kingdom's system of magic is greatly expounded upon here too, which strips away some of the mystique, but helps make its use less Deus ex Machina.
On the whole, another solid read, even if it does feel a bit like 15 hours of exposition leading up to the next book, as opposed to a more self-standing novel like Sabriel. Still, Tim Curry is a wonderful performer and this is a don't-miss title for sure.
Lirael is one of my favorite Audiobooks, the narration by Tim Curry cannot be topped, he can do gymnastics with his voice.
Possible spoiler:I think that I maybe can compare her to Sansa Stark in the Song of Ice and Fire series. They both annoyed the heck out of me at the beginning. While Sansa's story is still being written, I feel she is becoming a strong courageous young lady just like Lirael. Both Sansa and Lirael are full of self-loathing, self-doubt, and are treated poorly by the world around them. Lirael beautifully overcomes this and I can see Sansa overcoming her struggle similarly.
Liraels first interactions with the disreputable dog.
Yes, and it doesn't hurt that I could listen to Tim Curry day and night.
"Good story -- narrative drags in places"
Although I enjoyed the story -- a little disappointing that it wasn't a direct follow-on to the first story, but interesting none the less -- it almost seems like the author was feeling depressed, even despairing, while writing this book. A bit too much wallowing in self pity by the main characters for my taste. I've bought the next book, since I'm interested in the story, but I'm hoping there will be less slogging through morasses of "how horrible it all is! whatever will I do?" from the protagonists. I wanted to tell them to "snap out of it!" and to tell the narrator to just skip a few dozen paragraphs and get on with it. The first time I've wished for an abridged version of anything!
"A Great Sequel"
If you liked "Sabriel" then "Lireal" is an absolute must. And you may as well download the series finale "Abhorsen" while you're at it because you won't be able to walk away.
Garth Nix delivers another winner and, while I normally don't like it when a man narrates a female point-of-view, I barely notice when it's the remarkable Tim Curry!
Grandma bibliophile! Audible books make reading with an active life possible.
"Another great story!"
I liked this story! Maybe not as well as the first and the third, but I really felt sorry for Lirael. She really seems an outcast, and maybe a little whiney at first until she creates/obtains her "dog" companion and becomes a little more independent and adventurous. Sam is a little too scarred by his encounter too. The second half of the book is much better than the first.
Tim Curry as usual is fantastic! I actually had to get this one and the third because once I start a "series" I have to finish. I'm glad I got this one, it is probably not my favorite in the series because it has a hanging ending, but since I could immediately go to book 3 it was OK. ;-)

Husband Charged With Wife's Murder
Three months after her body was found on a rural road in Chenango County, the husband of a woman initially reported missing has now been charged with her murder.
Ganesh Ramsaran was charged today with second degree murder in the death of his 36 year old wife Jennifer. Ramsaren is being held on 150 thousand dollars bail.
Jennifer Ramsaran disappeared in December of last year and her husband told police that she was on her way to do some Christmas shopping at Destiny USA in Syracuse. Her husband initially reported her missing that day, and police now say that Jennifer Ramsaran was killed by her husband the same day.
That week, police found her cell phone on the side of the road, but it wasn't until February of this year that Ramsaran's body was discovered alongside a rural road in the Town Of Pharsalia.
Some forensic work has been ongoing since then and Ganesh Ramsaran was brought to the police station Friday where he was charged in the case.
Last year, police searched the Ramsaran home in Chenango County after Ganesh Ramsaran reported his wife missing in December.

Project DescriptionRetail Projects
With This New Housing Showcase In Seoul, South Korea, Nader Tehrani Of Boston-Based NADAAA Discovered That When You Can't Control The Translation From Design To Construction, You Design For What You Can Make Foolproof.
Given that the purpose of the gallery is to sell apartments, did you research the residential mindset of the Korean consumer marketplace?
Nader Tehrani: Absolutely. The research we did was, on one level, exhaustive, but also lost in translation almost constantly. So I can only say with humility that we always try to do our best.
Part of the research was done through interviews with architects who had done these galleries before, and with architects who understand the cultural mindset. The other part was a tour of a dozen or so of these model home galleries, not just Samsung's, trying to understand their organizations and the way in which these apartments are sold.
These apartment homes are in towers that, in the Western world, have come to be associated with social housing. In Korea, they're a status symbol, and the consumer's level of expectation is actually quite high.
And your design reflects some of these expectations spatially?
Our design is a stage set. At one level, our design targets the inability to control the construction process the way we do in the West, which is by working drawings that are monitored weekly on site. We undertook this job by developing four details for the things that became of paramount importance, not only to them, but for us to control.
What are those four details, and why did you select them?
One is a public ground that emerges from the park into the building and out onto the sidewalk. The second is a ceiling that contains all of the building's systems, and becomes the envelope for the columns, staircases, and VIP rooms on the ground floor. The third is a skin that envelops the base to make it transparent and to make it well protected against the sun; it's a steel structural system that is supporting the edge of the building, it's the mullions and fritting, and it's a vertical barcoding system that is a kind of wrapper. The fourth is a skin for the black box atop the transparent base, which is a foil for the lack of tolerance in the construction system for a compound curved surface. The louvers are not there for sun protection, as there are very few windows; they are there as a foil for the imperfections of the skin behind them, since they were unwilling to build it through digital manufacturing processes—and as such they would have telegraphed all of the imperfections onto the skin.
I was trying to do damage control more than anything. I don't think they got our geometries right, to be honest. But they were easy to fix because we gave them parameters of which intersections were imperative to meet and which were not.
How were these requirements communicated?
We did 80 WebEx's and Skype calls, so we saw each other's screens and we worked directly with each other's lines. That is an interactive model of collaboration that works quite well. We made trips with my team to Korea, and they also came here. The design period was not much longer than six months, nor was construction, and that's with transitional periods of one or two months where there were either silences or things that were happening in preparation. So we're talking about quite intensive charrettes.
These silences included not telling you about the start of construction?
We submitted our drawings and we didn't hear from them for two months. I sent an email asking about the status, and we got an image of our project that was well-framed, and they said: "We're having some issues with the rounding of the corners. Could we consult with you?"
I wasn't shocked, because I've been around the block a few times. But I was touched that they called me because it meant we could actually follow up on some of the experiments we were doing. So we re-entered the project after a couple months of construction administration.
The team we started with was still there, but added to that was a set of engineers who drove the motors of the construction site. At that moment everything that you're talking about, everything you've drawn, either becomes irrelevant or becomes the exact thing they'll build. It comes down to your ability to be able to communicate that on site. That happens with some level of translation, and some level of drinking, and rolling up your sleeves and working with them.
I'm sorry, did you say drinking?
Eating and drinking is a central part of Korean culture. If you cannot drink, you're not going to survive it. All I can say, on a very personal note, is that if I had not fallen in love with Korea and its culture a long time ago, I'm not sure I would've survived the process, because I'm not much of a drinker. But I love the people, and I love working there.
Is the process that you developed of working from parameters something you can see being applied broadly in similar scenarios?
I think this is a new and emerging challenge for all of us. The scale of projects is no longer the dimension of a building, it's a block, or two blocks, or a megablock, so you can't design everything bespoke. You have to design systems and frameworks for decisions to be made that are often going to be shared.
Also, the speed at which buildings are built now around the world requires 24-hour construction sites. That means that you need to be prepared to give up certain things because you're not going to specify in detail every drawing to every mullion. So you develop systems that respond to those conditions. I think this is quite effective on many cultural fronts; the construction industry has changed a lot over the last 20 years.
How does this fit into the scope of how you thought architecture worked?
As much as we have pre-existing aesthetic notions about what is beautiful, what is proportionally correct, and what looks right, this challenges all of those. Effectively, I'm not ready to tell you this is a beautiful project. It operates within the tradition of the folly, or the grotesque landscapes of some of these follies, because it challenges normative notions of beauty, not just the ones that the public has, but that even architects have. You can't always control the outcome in exactly the way you would compose them. It defies your compositional sensibilities and forces you to reconcile your systemic thinking with your aesthetic thinking.
How did this project challenge your notions of your own architecture?
Given the kind of ambitions that I've had and that I continue to have, to design buildings with syntactic precision and the development of a vocabulary that is quite precise, it takes a learning curve to know where to maintain an arm's length from your own authorship. It was a huge lesson that required me to rediscipline myself according to a very different set of cultural requirements—basically not to be myself.

i just wonder.is it possible?
i just wonder.is it possible?
Dear gelizaire,
Yes it is certainly possible.
However, doctors generally advise waiting at least 12 months after a c-section before trying to conceive in order to give the scar to heal. Saying this, it is certainly very possible to have a healthy pregnancy and birth within 12 months of a previous c-section.
Do you think you may be pregnant?
Warm wishes,

Women's Soccer Season PreviewAugust 4, 2009
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados are eager to get the 2009 season started under the new leadership of Coach Shug. Last year, in their first year as full NCAA Division II and South Atlantic Conference members, the Tornados posted a 6-12 overall record and were 0-8 in SAC play. Coach Shug looks to build upon last year's young team which included five freshmen starters. The Lady Tornados also look to build upon their 2008 winning home record of 5-4-1 as they move onto the new soccer field at Brevard College.
Carson-Newman College, which won the South Atlantic Conference women's soccer championship and Food Lion Tournament title last year and advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament, is the unanimous choice to win the 2009 SAC championship in a vote of the league coaches, the conference office announced today.

Things are looking up for American Leadership Academy.
The boys' soccer team captured the school's first-ever state championship, while the remainder of the teams now have an accomplishment to model their own programs after.
New football coach Chas Ryan is hoping that extends to the gridiron.
"Things have gone a lot smoother than I expected, but there are still a lot of things to iron out," Ryan said. "We're going to change up our philosophy on offense and run the ball more. We'll look to attack on defense."
The Eagles are coming off a 2-7 season in which they won one region game (1-6) and were outscored by an average of 33-14. ALA defeated Carbon in Week 2 but endured a six-game losing streak before its next win. The Eagles were held to 10 points or fewer in five games.
Ryan, who has been with the team the past five years as defensive coordinator, understands changes are needed on offense.
"Before we used to run the spread, but now we've got some good-sized kids who can wear other teams out," Ryan said. "Running back is our deepest position, so we're going to try and move people out of the way."
Lincoln Henderson is expected to be the primary ball carrier, with Garrett Averett and Neil Davis also on hand. Hunter Smith will run the option attack at quarterback in the flexbone offense reminiscent of Georgia Tech and Air Force.
Defensively, the Eagles have eight starters returning and plan to be aggressive and quick. Defensive tackle Jake Staheli, middle linebacker Christian Stallings and strong safety McGregor Hall lead their respective units.
"We're looking to cut down on other teams' possessions by running the ball and the clock," Ryan said. "We're not going to throw all the time or have three-and-outs and give the ball right back."
The Eagles open the season by hosting North Sevier on Aug. 23.
American Leadership Eagles
ASSIGNMENT • Class 2A North
LAST YEAR • 2-7 overall, 1-6 Class 2A North
KEY RETURNER • Jake Staheli (OL/DL). Dominating two-way lineman participated in the BYU camp and brings a physical presence (6 foot 3, 250 pounds). He moves pretty well for his size, and his presence alone opens things up for his teammates.
PLAYER TO WATCH • Lincoln Henderson (FB). More of a receiving option last season, Henderson has bulked up to play fullback and is expected to handle the majority of the carries. The position is the deepest on the team.
BIGGEST HOLE • Depth. Beyond the starting lineup, ALA does not have the overall depth to handle injuries without missing a beat.
NEED TO KNOW • The team has committed fully to a weight lifting program for the first time. Work ethic is starting to develop as players better themselves for the present and future.

Coup on You!
posted at 9:41 pm on July 21, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
In mounting desperation, Barack H. Obama and his band of merry men now demand the restoration of Manuel "Mel" Zelaya as dictator of Honduras on the same time schedule as the typical "revolutionary" (radical leftist, that is) Obamic legislation — e.g., government-run health care, crippling energy production, and shooting trillions of dollars of Monopoly money at every problem, hoping something sticks: The administration demands the legitimate impeachment of Zelaya be overturned and the dictator reinstated right now, this very minute — and to hell with the Honduran constitution, Honduran law, and the Honduran supreme court:
The United States and Europe stepped up pressure on Honduras' de facto government on Tuesday as deposed President Manuel Zelaya and his supporters called on Washington to pave the way for his return….
The U.S. government threw its weight behind Arias' proposal that Zelaya, who was toppled in a June 28 coup, be reinstated to set up a coalition government.
"We're in constant contact with a number of countries in the hemisphere regarding the situation in Honduras, and we believe the Arias mediation is the right way to go, and the time is now to … resolve this issue," State Department deputy spokesman Robert A. Wood told reporters.
"We think that this is the best (way) … to restore the constitutional order in the country, and we want to see that happen now," he said.
Do not argue with us, do not question us; you'll do what you're told to do — and be quick about it!
Submitted for your approval, our previous profferings on Big Lizards:
- Piddling Away Greatness, also cross-posted in Hot Air's rogues' gallery
- The Curious Case of Tegucigalpa's Traveling Traitor
- Reuters Still Stuck on "Coup"-pid
Why the hysterical haste and high-pressure tactics? Because, just like the radical legislation, the One knows that Mr. Time is not his friend: The more time passes, the more opposition grows among Republicans and even moderate Democrats.
Republicans are finally fighting back hard against the unprecedented kow-towing to America's enemies in Central and South America. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC, 100%) has exercised his authority under Senate rules to put the kibosh on two confirmation hearings, at least for a week or so. And he and other Republicans are demanding the administration explain why we're siding with Venezuela's Oogo Chavez, Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, and los bros Castro (two Stalinists and a fascist)… and why we're lining up against the rule of law in Honduras:
Conservative Senator Jim DeMint, who has expressed concern over Washington's call for ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to be reinstated, invoked his right to ask the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to postpone voting to confirm Arturo Valenzuela, currently a professor at Georgetown University, to be assistant secretary of state.
DeMint also asked for a delay in confirming Thomas Shannon as U.S. ambassador to Brazil. Shannon currently holds the assistant secretary's post.
(The definitive analysis so far of the legality of the Honduran supreme court's removal of Zelaya is by Miguel Estrada, in an opinion piece published in the Los Angeles Times, of all places.)
But back to the first story. Reuters completely accepts Zelaya's own narrative of what happened, of course; that's to be expected. Then they roll out a new supporter of Zelaya, besides those leftist regimes already outed (Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica): Now Brazil joins the chorus of yapping Yorkies who insist that Zelaya be reinstated, so he'll have a legitimate shot at perverting the constitution with an illegal "referendum," stage-managed by Venezuela, making Zelaya in effect President for Life… just like his pals Oogo, Raul, and Fidel.
(On a complete unrelated note, Brazil's President Lula da Silva, a former union organizer, is a founding member of the Workers' Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores, PT), whose main objectives are workers' rights and land redistribution. According to da Silva's Wikipedia entry, the Workers' Party "was formed as a loose confederacy of trade unionists, grassroots activists, left Catholics, left-center social democrats and small Trotskyist groupings." Da Silva still maintains a close friendship with Oogo Chavez.)
See? International support for Zelaya has expanded far beyond just a couple of socialist-headed, U.S.-hating, Latin American countries — Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua — plus the socialist-headed, U.S.-hating Organization of American States and the socialist-headed, U.S.-hating United Nations General Assembly; it now includes two more socialist-headed, U.S.-hating, Latin American countries: Costa Rica and Brazil.
It should be clear why the Obamacle chose up sides so rapidly; it was a no-brainer!
Here's the punchline… a perfect demonstration of how, no matter how tightly a lie is nailed across the doors and windows, truth will nevertheless find a crack and leak out:
Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim called U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week to complain that talks were dragging on too long and that Zelaya should be reinstated without conditions, a Brazilian diplomat said.
"The negotiations must not reward a coup, which could in turn encourage other coups," the diplomat said on condition of anonymity.
Hear, hear!
Come to think of it, using the tendentious redefinition of "coup d'état" that Zelaya, Castro & Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and Barack H. Obama use — i.e., "legally removing a leftist president from office for attempting to seize dictatorial powers" — perhaps the fear of "other coups" is precisely what so very much worries our own "Zelaya," currently sitting in la Casa Blanca and openly speculating about repealing the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution.

"Peace to you, Colum," she answered, and sank into the shadow-thridden wave.

Cavendish Farms plant in New Annan.
©Colin MacLean/Journal Pioneer
McCain Foods' biggest competitor in the french fry market says it is facing the very same challenges – currency, competition and costs – as its rival.
Ron Clow, vice president of Cavendish Farms, says his company remains committed to P.E.I., but he called on the P.E.I. government to ensure it has access to deep-water wells to ensure its survival.
Cavendish Farms has warned its plants on the Island could be in jeopardy if deep-water wells are not approved. The province is currently studying the issue.
Clow said his company invests in its employees and technology.
"We also need a sustainable source of water to grow potatoes," Clow said in a statement emailed to The Guardian.
"The fact is that the yield from P.E.I. potato fields is lagging behind the rest of North America due to a lack of certain water supply. This means less money for the farmer per acre, and less potatoes for Cavendish to process."
Cavendish Farms employs 600 workers and buys potatoes from 92 family farms.
Clow said Thursday's news that McCain is leaving P.E.I. is very difficult news for many Island neighbours.
"We need to consider what this says regarding the very real challenges facing the sector and what it takes to sustain good paying food production jobs on P.E.I."

Salt Lake/Ogden
home prices up
The Salt Lake City-Ogden area was the 102nd-most searched real estate market in the country during October, according to Realtor.com, a homes-for-sale website. The median list price for homes in the Salt Lake City-Ogden market hit $214,900 last month, a 7.5 percent increase from the same month a year ago, the website reported.
Ikea regrets
forced labor
Ikea Group, the world's biggest home-furnishings retailer, said today that political prisoners in the former East Germany were used in the making of its furniture 25 to 30 years ago. The company controlled by Swedish billionaire Ingvar Kamprad commissioned a study that found prisoners in the communist German Democratic Republic were forced to make the popular furniture.
Pension insurer
deficit growing
The federal agency that insures pensions for more than 40 million Americans last year ran the widest deficit in its 38-year history. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. says its deficit grew to $34 billion for the budget year that ended Sept. 30. That compares with a $26 billion shortfall in the previous year.
Banks consent
to $417M fine
JPMorgan Chase and Credit Suisse have agreed to pay a combined $417 million to settle federal civil charges that they sold risky mortgage bonds to investors ahead of the 2008 financial crisis that the banks knew could fail. JPMorgan did not warn investors that homeowners were behind on their payments for the mortgages tied to the bonds, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Big animal abuse
settlement set
A landmark $500 million agreement was reached to settle a slaughterhouse abuse case in California that led to the biggest meat recall in U.S. history in 2008 .The settlement with Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. is the largest-ever penalty for an animal abuse case. It was the first time federal fraud statutes were used, the Humane Society said. The settlement, however, is largely symbolic because the company is bankrupt.
American pilots
set new vote
Pilots at American Airlines will vote again on whether to approve a contract offer from the company, which has been operating under bankruptcy protection for nearly a year. The Allied Pilots Association said its board voted 12-4 to accept a tentative agreement with American. The 7,500 pilots rejected a previous company offer in August.

While many producers approach the huge residential market from the foundation, some look at its peak potential. Concrete roof tiles are emerging as one of the concrete production industry's fastest growing segments.
Roof tile production across the country is on the rise. And it's about time, since tile is the predominant roof covering material worldwide. According to the Tile Roofing Institute (TRI), the industry's marketing organization, tile roofing is a $603 million industry in the United States. Tile, which includes clay and concrete, continues to grow in popularity, and is now the dominant roofing material along the West Coast, across the Sunbelt, and in Florida.
In early 2006, Boral Limited and Lafarge announced its joint venture concrete roof tile business, MonierLifetile, will invest $69 million to build new roof tile plants in Las Vegas and Lake Wales, Fla. The producer reported that the new Las Vegas facility will service customers in that city, and will free up capacity in MonierLifetile's Rialto plant in Southern California and its Phoenix plant.
Many experts suggest there are many valid reasons why roof tile sales will continue to grow. First, concrete roof tiles are the preferred material in some of the nation's hottest residential markets, such as the Southwest, Florida, and Texas. Bolstering the consumer's acceptance has been a sustained and successful effort by tile producers and roofing contractor organizations to certify tile installers.
Second, there's durability. Many coastal regions have adopted more stringent building codes requiring roofs to resist higher wind load factors. As a result of this code update, residential designers have zeroed in on standardizing trusses. In many circumstances, the installation cost for a deck support for a concrete roof tile is about the same as for other roofing options.
And now there seems to be a sound environmental reason to promote expansion. MonierLifetile has been participating in the Oakridge National Laboratories' residential energy use studies. Researchers hope to determine the best ways to make roof systems more energy-efficient. They base their evaluations of cool roof performance under the auspices of the California Energy Commission.
According to the producer, the most current test results suggest tile roofs have better emissive ratings, compared to roofs using reflective coatings. This indicates that the vented air space between the roof deck and the installed tile reduces the amount of heat entering the roof of a building by an amount equal to about 30 points of reflectivity.
From the eaves up
Few producers have experienced this dramatic growth as much as John Quigley. Quigley has devoted his entire career producing concrete roof tile. He entered the industry after graduating with a mechanical engineering degree and accepting a job at a plant in Fontana, Calif. After more than 20 years, he is rapidly expanding the process across the country.
From his office at the same plant at which he started in California, Quigley is now coordinating the building of roof tile production facilities in Arizona, Texas, and Florida.
It's a busy time for Quigley, as his employer, Hanson Roof Tiles, has been opening a new plant about once every six months. In 2006 and early 2007, Hanson added plants in Sanderson and Deerfield Beach, Fla. The producer plans to open a new operation in Fort Worth, Texas, later this year.
Quigley recognizes several important trends in roof tile production. Market growth has forced producers to step up production. When he began, producers would target a rate of between 80-90 tiles per hour. In the current market, production targets are closer to 160.
Along with production rate increases, demand for innovative styles has exploded. While most plants focus on four or five styles and colors that target the local market, consumers are constantly looking for new styles. Thus, in highly competitive markets, plants can have tens of molds and offer hundreds of styles in different colors.
Along with higher production rates and broader product offerings, another trend is producers' increased awareness of the environment. For example, Quigley has reviewed all of the materials used in the tile coating processes to reduce the amount of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. "Recently, we've gone even further, working with one of our vendors to develop a unique coating designed specifically to reduce the VOC content," he says.

Everyone makes weight (Ray on second attempt), except for Robertson's opponent. Real shame for him, hopefully the bout still goes ahead.
Everyone makes weight (Ray on second attempt), except for Robertson's opponent. Real shame for him, hopefully the bout still goes ahead.
Hope craig fights ....he's a real insperation to the older guys
pain is the game....TNT.... http://www.tntdundee.co.uk/
Think u should post the full story
His opponents status
Sorry to dissapoint everyone who supports me but the lad im fighting used the excuse of me being 3pounds overweight to pull from the fight...he was offered my purse and treble his money but left the building, on the biggest show in the country it takes a certain kinda bloke to walk away from an opportunity like this.
Sounds like he is a real fucking insperation pulling out under them circumstances.
3 pounds or 300 pounds, he was still over. acted unprofessional and should be held fully responsible for this fight not going ahead.
Dont try take nothing away from craig for his decision. Him and his team have travelled all the way down from scotland along with a bus full of supporting fans at a great expence to them. to now not see him fight. I know craig put alot of time into training for this but 2. YES TWO!!!! fighters must make the weight for the fight to go ahead.
Good luck to the rest of the scottish lads on the card, and the others guys on Cage warriors.
Everyone knows they have to make the weight. It's not get as close to the weight as you can it's make the weight.
Fuck no-gi
In the interests of the full story, Craig offered to fight the guy if he weighed in under 88kg today. He couldn't make that either.
I normally refrain from posting derogatory comments on public forums, however I feel I have to defend myself. My opponent weighed in 3lbs over and refused to loose anymore. I had a private meeting with Jude from BAMMA and my cornerman to discuss what would happen. I agreed with Jude to fight for twice (not 3 times my purse) on the provision that my opponent not be more than 88Kg on the day of the fight. To be checked at 2pm today during the medicals. Only then did I leave the building and go to the fighter's hotel. I attended the venue at 1.30pm today (the first fighter to do so incidentally) fully prepared to fight upon checking my opponent's weight. I was told then he'd refused to make 88kg on the day (even tho the official fight weight was 84kg). I am currently watching the event live with the 22 people who 'd travelled down to watch me. :-(
Talent is God given, be thankful.
Fame is Man given, be humble.
Conceit is Self given, be careful.
Not making an agreed weight on a Pro fight,then when given the chance to go and and make a catchweight and refusing, is walking away from the opportunity.Especially when your opponent show his professionalism by travelling from Scotland and MAKING WEIGHT.!!!!!!!!!!!
Not making weight by 3lbs then refusing to cut weight as a pro fighter shows just how unprofessional Like Harriman is, then receiving a second chance of making 88kg(4kg over the original weight) just show a huge lack of respect to not only Craig Robertson and his team but one of the UK's biggest MMA organisations in Bamma itself!
*School Teacher Voice*
You've let Craig down, you've let the fans down, you've let your fight team down, you've let BAMMA down but worst
of all you've let yourself down.

Greeneville, Tenn. - The Brevard College Tornados football team ran for 299 yards and Michael Crumbaker threw two touchdown passes to lead Brevard against Tusculum College on Saturday afternoon, but Bo Cordell and the Tusculum offense had 408 passing yards and seven scoring strikes to defeat the visiting Tornados, 51-35.
Kelvin Jeter had a late 41 yard touchdown run to lead the Brevard (3-6, 0-5 SAC) rushing attack, picking up 105 yards on 17 carries, averaging 6.2 yards per attempt in the contest. Neville Bryce continued his recent success with 10 carries for 62 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Michael Crumbaker had 16 carries for 55 yards.
Crumbaker was six of 13 through the air for 72 yards and a pair of touchdown passes, while throwing an interception. Eric Watts was the recipient of four of those passes for 22 yards, including a four-yard fade in the corner of the end zone, while Derek Church had a 45 yard pickup and Thadus Benton III had a five yard scoring reception.
Defensively, the Tornados were led by Prince Simunyu, as the junior linebacker had a game high 13 tackles in the contest, including one for a loss. Trey Jenkins added seven tackles, while Ryan Wannamaker had a sack in the game.
Cordell led Tusculum (5-4, 1-4 SAC) on the afternoon, going 38 of 53 through the air for 408 yards and seven touchdowns. Deonte' Gist and Michael Rodriguez each hauled in nine passes in the contest, with Gist going for 140 yards and three scores, while Rodriguez had 82 yards and two receptions in the end zone. Rashaad Carter and Calvin Britt also had touchdown receptions in the game as the Pioneers finished the contest with 489 total yards in the contest.
Defensively, the Pioneers were led by Luke Harris and Zachary Norman as the duo had eight tackles apiece. Brian Alexander, Jason Muehling and Cameron Myers each had fumble recoveries in the contest, while Nicolas Smith and Dameon Herring each had sacks for Tusculum.
Justin Fleming returned the opening kickoff for the Tornados, taking it 47 yards to the Tusculum 45 yard line to give Brevard excellent field position to open the game. Three plays later, Neville Bryce took the hand-off up the middle, going 29 yards for the score to give Brevard the 7-0 advantage with 13:53 remaining in the first quarter.
Tusculum's first drive lasted one play as Cordell connected with Rodriguez on a short screen near the left sideline, but a good play by the defense forced a fumble the Tornados recovered to give Brevard the ball at the TC 36 yard line.
The turnover turned to naught though, as the Pioneers forced a fourth down and sacked Crumbaker as the 38 yard line, forcing the change of possession.
Tusculum capitalized on the possession five plays later as Cordell, after back-to-back incompletions, found Carter for a 49 yard touchdown pass over a leaping Salonik Amos to tie the score up at 7 with 10:46 on the clock in the first quarter.
Tusculum added two more touchdowns in the first quarter as Cordell found Gist from five yards out for a score, capping off an 8-play, 82 yard drive to put the Pioneers up 14-7, before finding Gist again in the end zone from four yards out, this time capping off a 7 play, 56 yard drive, giving Tusculum the 21-7 lead at the end of the quarter.
Bryce got Brevard back on the board on their next possession, carrying the ball six times on the 13 play drive, with the last one coming from five yards out of the end zone as Brevard moved the ball 64 yards in 6:58, cutting the lead to 21-14.
The Tornados defense forced a three-and-out on the next Tusculum possession, bringing Pioneers' punter Andy Rossetti to the field. Rossetti boomed a 42 yard punt and Williams Muscatello called for the fair catch, but the ball bounced off his hands onto the ground, where it was recovered by Myers, giving the Pioneers a fresh set of downs at the BC 22 yard line. Seven passes later, Cordell found Rodriguez in the end zone, putting the Pioneers up 28-14 with 6:16 left on the field.
After the Tornados went three-and-out, the Pioneers struck quickly, as Cordell found Brian Marshall for a three yard pickup, before Cordell found Gist open in the middle of the field. The receiver found open field for a 60 yard pickup before stopping in the end zone for the final score of the first half, 35-14.
A receiving flub on the opening kickoff of the second half gave the Pioneers the ball on their own two yard line, but Cordell got the offense moving, completing passes to Gist, Britt, Marshall, Carter and Fred Jones in moving the ball to the Brevard 34 yard line. Calvin Vann and Amos combined for a big defensive stop on third-and-10, holding Gist to a nine-yard pickup on the screen, but Gareth Rowlands connected on the 42 yard field goal attempt to put the Pioneers up 38-14.
A fumble on the Tornados third offensive play of the half gave the Pioneers the ball back at the Brevard 25 yard line. Tusculum capitalized seven plays later as Cordell found Rodriguez for the second time in the game from 15 yards out to give Tusculum a commanding 44-14 lead.
Crumbaker found Watts in the end zone at the end of the third quarter from four yards out to cut the lead back to 44-21, but Tusculum responded two drives later with a score from Cordell to Britt to put the score at 51-21 with 8:19 left in the game.
The Tornados added a pair of touchdowns late in the game as Jeter scampered in from 41 yards out and Crumbaker targeted Benton from five yards out, putting the final score at Pioneer Field at 51-35.
Brevard returns home on Saturday, November 6th, as they host Newberry College in the Tornados final regular season home contest. Kickoff for the game is set for 2 p.m.

I had this working on gmail the other day.
The problem with gmail is, EACH user has their own setting about HTTP
use HTTP or FORCE HTTPS - If the user has "force" https, then sslstrip doesnt work.
*or at least thats how I remember it*
I also could not get sslstrip to work on Gmail and then a guy in #backtrack-linux told me that the "big" sites have fixes this by forcing SSL.
I would like this confirmed by someone with connections to maybe the author of sslstrip?
I had this working on gmail the other day.
The problem with gmail is, EACH user has their own setting about HTTP
use HTTP or FORCE HTTPS - If the user has "force" https, then sslstrip doesnt work.
*or at least thats how I remember it*
Have you...g0tmi1k?
I can't comprehend how SSLstrip works. Is there any SSL connection at all in this scenario? Is all traffic from the client going to dst port 443 redirected to dst port 80 by the attacker? Maybe it's a bit more sophisticated? I mean, if the server only accepts encrypted traffic, which I really hope PayPal does.. Then this attack should fail.
That leads me to that the real connection with a certificate and all is established at the attacker. The connection between CLIENT and ATTACKER is unencrypted. The connection between ATTACKER and SERVER is encrypted? Scenario below, (c) stands for cert.
CLIENT -> ATTACKER (c) -> SERVER (c).
Can anyone verify?
A picture is worth 1000 words....
Have you...g0tmi1k?
I am still a beginner
I have a problem when running arpsoof,you can help me?
Use "arpspoof -i INTERFACE GATEWAY".
E.x.: "arpspoof -i wlan0 192.168.1.1" with this commandline you listen on the whole network instead of one single target.
Hey gotmi1k, I followed your method, and it worked for me. I read you were having problems with ettercap and thats why you use arpspoof.
I've been doing this without using arpspoof:
echo 1 ....etc
iptables ....etc
ettercap -i wlan0 -Tq -M ARP:REMOTE // // -P autoadd
sslstrip -p -k -f -l 10000
My end results seem to be the same using either your method or my method.
Do you see any advantages of either method?
ifconfig -a. See what interfaces you have.
Some times its better though to target just one client - that way you don't create a bottle neck.
Could you also do the broadcast address?
There isn't a "right/wrong" way - just the way that works for you. Thanks for the commands that work for you!
Have you...g0tmi1k?
I have some wierd test on my gmail account page when i sslstrip it.
Sickn3ss helped me to set it up as it should work but he haven't sen this before eather.
Google was not to much help eather, so any ideas are appreciated.

Entry data for the downtown City County Building where Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey works cannot account for her presence in the building for more than half of last year.
McCroskey, like all employees who work there, uses a swipe card that leaves behind an electronic record when entering the building. And those records also suggest that for almost three-fourths of the year so far, McCroskey has not worked a full business week, missing nearly half of all Fridays so far.
In a brief interview with WBIR on Wednesday, she said some of her absences were due to two back surgeries in February and May of 2012, but she's uncertain how long they kept her out of the office.
She added that she was out for six weeks this year because of an additional surgery.
McCroskey maintains the department that oversees the official records for the Fourth Circuit Court, General Sessions, and Criminal Court.
She operates what the county calls a "fee office," meaning it's supposed to be self-sustaining. Any money it receives covers $494,000 in monthly payroll, including benefits, and the rest is turned over to the county's general fund to help maintain overall day-to-day operations.
However, because she's an elected official, McCroskey does not accrue annual leave or sick leave and does not have to fill out a timecard. She also has no set schedule and is not required to show up for work to collect her more than $125,000 a year paycheck.
Only voters can hold McCroskey accountable, and it appears they will have choices in the next election.
Knox County Commissioner Mike Hammond on Wednesday announced his intentions to challenge her in next May's Republican primary.
"I love a challenge and this will be a challenge," said Hammond. "Problem solving is something that I enjoy and I think that I can bring that to the table."
Other elected officials also want to hear from McCroskey.
Knox County Commissioner Chairman Brad Anders on Wednesday formally asked the embattled criminal court clerk to attend Monday's board meeting to discuss the recent media reports about her office.
The move comes after a WBIR Channel 10 investigation revealed dozens of errors that originated from the criminal court clerk's office and led to wrongful arrests, wrongfully revoked driver's licenses, and unwarranted convictions.
RECORDS: McCroskey's access records into the City County Building
LETTER: Anders' request to McCroskey to attend Monday's meeting
"I wanted to give her an opportunity to talk to us," said Anders, who asked officials to hand deliver the letter to her Wednesday afternoon. "I could tell from some of the comments from the commissioners (last Monday) that they wanted to hear from her and have her give her side of the story. I just wanted to give her an opportunity to be part of the conversation."
McCroskey briefly attended last Monday's County Commission work session, but moments before Knox County Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones spoke to the board about the problems. Prior to the meeting, McCroskey had blamed some of the wrongful arrests on the sheriff's department. During the meeting, Jones fired back.
In his letter to McCroskey, the chairman said he wanted to give her the chance to "provide your perspective, to clear up any misunderstandings, answer questions, and/or discuss any changes you may have implemented to resolve the current difficulties in your office."
MCroskey said she will attend next Monday's commission meeting, and she does intend to run for office next year.
Hammond, a former board chairman and longtime local radio personality, said he will further discuss his qualifications and vision during a Nov. 20 campaign kickoff event at Calhoun's.
Sept. 16: Knox County Criminal Court contract violated law: Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey violated state law and county code three years ago when she hired Solutia Revenue Recovery, a private collection agency, to go after some $18 million in outstanding fines, fees and restitution owed to the county.
Officials learned about the contract earlier this year, and that McCroskey didn't competitively bid out the service. The county then started the advertising process. On Monday, the county commission is expected to officially sign a new contract with Municipal Services Bureau to take over collection duties.
Oct. 18: Errors leading to wrongful arrests, Knox officials say: A WBIR Channel10 investigation discovered numerous instances of errors that originated from the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office and led to residents wrongly taken into custody or kept in jail for days, sometimes weeks, past their scheduled release dates.
The records, obtained through the state's open records act, and interviews with top ranking county leaders suggest that the mistakes date back to at least July 2012 and occurred as recently as early September.
Officials say criminal court clerk's office workers often fail to update the county's Justice Information Management System, or JIMS, which attorneys, the sheriff's office, and the district attorney's office rely on for the latest information and to make decisions on whether a defendant is up-to-date on payments, court appearances, or community service.
Officials also say that the clerks sometimes fail to bring warrants to the judges to dismiss once the defendant completes his or her probationary requirements.
That means judges often issue invalid warrants and authorities act on them. It also means that some defendants have spent more time in jail than they should.
Oct. 18: Two speak out, say they were wrongly arrested: More details into just what's going on in the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office regarding wrongful arrests.
Oct. 21: Knox officials to meet about errors that led to arrests: A top Knox County judge said Monday that he expects to meet with local leaders in the coming weeks to talk about errors originating from the Knox County Criminal Court Clerk's Office that have led to a number of wrongful arrests.
"Anytime a person's liberty is taken away for any amount of time, it's a very serious concern to us and it should be to everyone," Knox County General Sessions Court Judge Andrew Jackson VI told WBIR Channel10 in an exclusive interview.
Jackson, the current presiding sessions court judge, said he's not sure how many wrongful arrests have occurred, but that "one is too many."
"We don't like to put people in jail," he said. "But we really don't like to put people in jail who don't belong."
Oct. 22: Botched paperwork hurt driving records, cases dismissed: Officials say the criminal court clerk's office workers are entering wrong data into the records management system, losing crucial paperwork, and providing defendants with bad information, according to a series of emails, memos and documents obtained by WBIR Channel 10 under the state's open records law.
As a result, authorities have wrongly arrested defendants and kept others locked up longer than their scheduled release date, according to the Channel 10 investigation.
Many of the mistakes, though, also focus on traffic citations, and earlier this month, officials in the Knox County District Attorney General's Office asked the sessions court judges to consider doing away with the county's Driver Improvement Program, or DIP, which lets some traffic offenders take to avoid a ticket.
Other problems include:
- Dismissed tickets still appear on a driver's record.
- Clerks entered county ordinance traffic citations into the system as state charges, which carry stiffer penalties. The cases were set aside.
- Cases dismissed after clerks failed to bring the paperwork to the courtroom until noon, leaving the defendants waiting for hours for a judge to hear a traffic citation
- Clerks entered wrong convictions into the system. In one case, the clerk entered "Driving Under the Influence" instead of the much lesser offense of "Public Intoxication." Another time, officials didn't update the system, so one offender appeared to be on probation when he wasn't.
- Clerks entered wrong charges into the system. Cases dismissed.
- Clerks entered wrong fines into the system. In one case, the fine was supposed to be $250, but entered as $25.
Oct. 22: Some Criminal Court Clerk's answers contradict records: Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey said she's never met with other local leaders to discuss the errors originating in her office that many officials are now calling a systemic problem that has led to wrongful arrests, wrongfully revoked driver's licenses, and unwarranted convictions. Records and interviews with Knox County officials suggest otherwise.

At its opening in 1973, the Brutalist-style Robarts Library at the University of Toronto was said to be the largest academic building in the world, with each side of the equilateral-triangle-shaped building measuring 330 feet, and with enough space inside for 4,000 people and 1 million volumes. The library was impressive to more than just Toronto students; novelist Umberto Ecco wrote much of his 1983 novel, "The Name of the Rose," in the library, taking some of its features as inspiration for the secret library described in the book.
Architect Danforth W. Toan, FAIA, who designed Robarts and other libraries all across North American college campuses, died last week in Tappan, N.Y., at 94.
As founding partner of Warner Burns Toan & Lunde Architects & Planners in New York, now known as WBTL, Toan designed Columbia University's Hammer Health Sciences Center, New York University's Warren Weaver Hall, Brown University's John D. Rockefeller Library and the Science Tower, and Cornell University's Olin Library, among many others.
"He changed the course of library design in the U.S.," says Rick Bell, FAIA, executive director of the AIA New York Center for Architecture, who worked with Toan at WBTL for 15 years. "The first project I helped him with as a draftsman, the Aurora Central Library in Colorado, has helped knit that community together."
Toan also designed buildings for LaGuardia Community College in Long Island, N.Y., Sara Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., Washtenaw Community Center in Ann Arbor, Maine, Emory University in Atlanta, and St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn. But one of his most interesting projects wasn't for a college at all—it was for Grumman Aerospace Corp., now Northrup Grumman Corp., for which he designed the astronaut living quarters for an early iteration of the NASA Space Station.
During his career, Toan was also involved with the Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility, played the saxophone in a jazz group called the Jazzitects—which opened for Dizzy Gillespie in New York in 1991—and taught at the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture Planning & Preservation for 12 years. Bell recalls how Toan was known for leading students around the campus blindfolded to help them see space differently. It is perhaps appropriate that Toan, designer of a few Brutalist buildings, was also active in historic preservation, finding himself at the center of the Vinyl Wars in 1994 in Tappan, opposing the use of vinyl siding on historic homes.
Toan spent his last days in Tappan, where he helped plan and design the Hickory Hill Cooperative houses, as well as Hickory Hill II, a collection of senior housing.

Fox's The Five Tries To Defend Its Mockery Of Clinton's Concussion
The co-hosts of Fox News' The Five attempted to defend their mockery of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's recent concussion by dismissing their remarks as mere "skepticism."
On December 15, The Washington Post reported [1] that Clinton sustained a concussion after she fainted due to dehydration. After the incident, the State Department explained [2] that due to the concussion, Clinton would have to postpone her testimony on the attack in Benghazi, Libya.
On Friday, The Five co-host Greg Gutfeld asked why it was considered "offensive to question the odd timing of an illness," and insisted that he and his Fox colleagues were simply "exercising of our First Amendment right to ask questions." He accused journalists of "ginning up fake hatred, or outrage, towards skeptics," and claimed "skepticism" was on "life support."
Co-host Andrea Tantaros further accused Clinton of "a history" of "being a professional victim." Tantaros concluded that though some want her and others to apologize for their Clinton remarks, she does not think it's necessary.
However, the previous remarks from The Five co-hosts on Clinton's concussion were not merely skepticism, but outright mockery. They suggested [3] Clinton faked her condition to avoid giving testimony on the Benghazi attack. On December 19, The Five co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle accused [4] Clinton of a "duck and cover," and Gutfeld asked, "How could she get a concussion when she's been ducking everything [related to Benghazi]?"
These remarks were echoed by other Fox figures, who accused [5] Clinton of having "Benghazi allergy" and faking a "diplomatic illness."
