|Drug: EDTA Drug: EDTA Placebo Dietary Supplement: High Dose Vitamin Dietary Supplement: High Dose Vitamin Placebo
|Phase 3
EDTA chelation therapy involves repeated administrations of a synthetic amino acid to reduce atherosclerotic plaque and other mineral deposits throughout the cardiovascular system.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive 40 infusions of either the standard chelation solution or placebo. The primary endpoint of this trial will be a composite of all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization, and hospitalization for angina.
The results of TACT will provide either a significant positive result or an informative null result upon which rational clinical decision-making and health policy can be based.

By Lora Koenig (as told to María José Viñas)
All the members of our team are now in Kulusuk, Greenland. We're quite isolated in this tiny village but we have a whole team behind us, making sure we get our stuff on time. The people in town are helping us a lot, too (hence the title of this blog post), letting us drive their vehicles or use their buildings to organize our gear.
We have almost all our equipment — except for a couple of important items, like the generator that runs the drill and the ethanol we will use to free the drill if it gets stuck inside the ice. Both items should arrive on Saturday.
When I was in Reykjavik's airport, I suddenly remembered I had forgotten a backup set of drill cutters (the bits that cut into the snow as the drill goes down) — they were inside a little box that slid under my car's seat while I was driving to the airport in Maryland. Fortunately, my mom came to the rescue, recovered the box and sent it expedited to Greenland — it should also arrive to Kulusuk on Saturday's flight. Here's a big thanks, mom!
Our put-in date continues to be April 1 — in the case not all of the missing gear arrived on Saturday, half of the team might still go to the drill site that day, while the other half will wait for the remaining equipment. We'll make a firm plan tonight. Meanwhile, the team and I are testing our gear… and enjoying our surroundings! Kulusuk is a small town built around an airstrip and surrounded by big mountains. Its few hundred inhabitants mostly work in the airport, or are hunters or fishermen.
The weather's beautiful, there's not a cloud in the sky, and we've seen the northern lights — we have great photos that unfortunately, we can't send right now. (I'll send pictures as soon as possible, after fieldwork is done and we have a better Internet connection.)
[Note: This blog post was written by María-José Viñas, based on a telephone conversation with Lora Koenig. Normally, Lora writes her own posts and María-José edits and publishes them. However, there is no Internet at Lora's hotel in Kulusuk until a repairman arrives on Saturday's flight.]

Brandeis Board of Trustees elects new chair
At a meeting held today, the Brandeis University Board of Trustees elected Perry M. Traquina '78 chair for a three-year term, effective May 19, 2013.
Traquina (pronounced tra-QUEE-nah), who is the chairman and chief executive officer of Wellington Management Company LLP, will succeed Malcolm Sherman, the philanthropist and veteran business executive who was elected board chair in 2007.
"We are grateful to Mal Sherman for his leadership in a challenging economic environment. He has been a true partner as I assumed the presidency of Brandeis, helping spearhead a governance review and the implementation of new governance rules. His leadership has been a steady presence during a time of transition and I want to thank him for everything he has done for me and for Brandeis," said President Frederick M. Lawrence.
Traquina is a son of Portuguese immigrants, who graduated summa cum laude from Brandeis in 1978. As an undergraduate, he studied at the London School of Economics and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He earned his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1980.
President Lawrence noted, "Perry Traquina will continue a tradition of strong board leadership at Brandeis, combining the perspective of a seasoned and visionary business leader with the passion of a Brandeis alumnus. We are all extremely enthusiastic about Perry's leadership."
At Wellington Management, Traquina oversees an investment management firm with over $750 billion in client assets under management and 2,000 employees worldwide. The company is headquartered in Boston and has 11 other global offices.
Traquina is a chartered financial analyst, a member of the Association for Investment Management and Research and a trustee of the Winsor School in Boston. He was elected to the Brandeis Board of Trustees in 2002 and has served as co-chair of the investment committee and as a member of the executive committee.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 21, 2010) - On Tuesday night the Lady Buccaneer women's basketball team held its end of the year banquet, and ETSU Director of Athletics Dave Mullins announced head coach Karen Kemp received a three-year contract extension which lasts through the 2014-15 season.
Kemp, who directed ETSU to a program-best 23 wins in 2009-10, has guided the Lady Bucs to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances and two Atlantic Sun regular season crowns in the last three years.
"We are pleased that coach Kemp has agreed to remain in place as the head coach of the Lady Bucs," said Senior Associate Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administration Barbie Breedlove. "Under her guidance we have experienced an incredible amount of success by winning three straight conference championships and advancing to the NCAA Tournament three times. Coach Kemp was recruited by other major programs, but she chose to stay at ETSU and build on her successes. We are very glad she did."
Kemp is the all-time winningest coach at ETSU, and has averaged 21 wins per year since the start of the 2006-07 campaign. Overall, the 2008 A-Sun Coach of the Year has won 237 games in her 16 seasons at the helm with the Lady Bucs, while posting a mark of 76-18 (.809) against conference foes in the last five seasons.
"This is the place where I want to end my career and continue on with the success we have built," added Kemp, who has guided ETSU to all five of its postseason appearances. "I want to thank Dr. Stanton, Dr. Bishop, Dave, Barbie, and the ETSU community for giving me the support over the years and having faith in me as a coach."

"The sources"...
I PM'd Iconodule a few sources which refutes the allegation that Proterius was murdered by St. Timothy Aelurus.
Why would it since he did not have Proterius murdered?The sources show that he was murdered by one of the mercenaries he employed who had grown sick of murdering Egyptian women and children at his behest. It is said that the streets ran red with the blood of those thousands that Proterius had killed because they would not be forced to accept him as patriarch.
IN addition to these transactions, Dioscorus is sentenced to reside at Gangra in Paphlagonia, and Proterius is appointed to the see of Alexandria by a general vote of the synod. On his taking possession of his see, a very great and intolerable tumult arose among the people, who were roused into a storm against conflicting opinions; for some, as is likely in such cases, desired the restoration of Dioscorus, while others resolutely upheld Proterius, so as to give rise to many irremediable mischiefs. Thus Priscus, the rhetorician, recounts, that he arrived at Alexandria from the Thebaid, and that he saw the populace advancing in a mass against the magistrates: that when the troops attempted to repress the tumult, they proceeded to assail them with stones, and put them to flight, and on their taking refuge in the old temple of Serapis, carried the place by assault, and committed them alive to the flames: that the emperor, when informed of these events, despatched two thousand newly levied troops, who made so favourable a passage, as to reach Alexandria on the sixth day; and that thence resulted still more alarming consequences, from the license of |64 the soldiery towards the wives and daughters of the Alexandrians: that, subsequently, the people, being assembled in the hippodrome, entreated Floras, who was the military commandant, as well as the civil governor, with such urgency as to procure terms for themselves, in the distribution of provisions, of which he had deprived them, as well as the privileges of the baths and spectacles, and all others from which, on account of their turbulence, they had been debarred: that, at his suggestion, Floras presented himself to the people, and pledged himself to that effect, and by this means stopped the sedition for a time. Nor did even the wilderness in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem preserve its tranquillity, unvisited by this commotion. For there arrived in Palestine some of the monks who had been present at the council, but were disposed to harbour designs in opposition to it; and by lamenting the betrayal of the faith, exerted themselves to fan into a flame the monastic body. And when Juvenalis, after obtaining restitution to his see, had been compelled to return to the imperial city, by the violence of the party who claimed the right to supersede and anathematise in their own province, those who, as we have already mentioned, were opposed to the acts of the council of Chalcedon, assembled in the church of the Resurrection, and appointed Theodosius, who had especially caused confusion in the council, and been the first to bring a report of its |65 proceedings, and respecting whom, at a subsequent period, the monks of Palestine alleged, in letters to Alcison, that having been convicted of malpractices in relation to his own bishop, he had been expelled from his monastery: and that at Alexandria he had impugned the conduct of Dioscorus, and, after having been severely scourged as a seditious person, had been conveyed round the city on a camel, as is usual with malefactors. To him many of the cities of Palestine made application, with a view to the ordination of bishops. Among these was Peter the Iberian ; to whom was committed the episcopal helm of the city called Majumas, in the neighbourhood of Gaza. On being informed of these proceedings, Marcian, in the first place, commands Theodosius to be conveyed near his own person, and sends Juvenalis to rectify the past, with an injunction that all who had been ordained by Theodosius should be ejected. Many sad occurrences followed the arrival of Juvenalis, while either party indulged in whatever proceedings their anger suggested. Such was the device of the envious and God-hating demon in the change of a single letter, that, while in reality the one expression was completely inductive of the notion of the other, still with the generality the discrepancy between them was held to be considerable, and the ideas conveyed by them to be clearly in diametric opposition, and exclusive of each other: whereas he who confesses Christ in two natures, |66 clearly affirms Him to be from two; inasmuch as by confessing Christ at once in Godhead and manhood, he asserts His consistence from Godhead and manhood; and, on the other hand, the position of one who affirms His origin from two natures, is completely inclusive of His existence in two, inasmuch as he who affirms Christ to be from Godhead and manhood, confesses His existence in Godhead and manhood, since there is no conversion of the flesh into Godhead, nor a transition of the Godhead into flesh, from which substances arises the ineffable union. So that in this case by the expression, "from two natures," is aptly suggested the thought of the expression, "in two," and conversely; nor can there be a severance of the terms, this being an instance where a representation of the whole is afforded, not merely by its origin from component parts, but, as a further and distinct means, by its existence in them. Yet, nevertheless, persons have so taken up the idea of the marked distinction of the terms, either from a habit of thought respecting the glory of God, or by the inclination forestalling the judgment, as to be reckless of death in any shape, rather than acknowledge the real state of the case; and hence arose the occurrences which I have described. Such then was the state of these matters. |67DURING the reign of Severus at Rome, Marcian exchanges his earthly sovereignty by a removal to a happier state, having reigned only seven years, but leaving behind him a truly royal monument in the memories of mankind. On learning this event, the people of Alexandria renewed their feud against Proterius with still greater exasperation and excessive heat: for the populace in general are an inflammable material, and allow very trivial pretexts to foment the flame of commotion, and not in the least degree that of Alexandria, which presumes on its numbers, chiefly |70 an obscure and promiscuous rabble, and vaunts forth its impulses with excessive audacity. Accordingly, it is said that every one who is so disposed may, by employing any casual circumstance as a means of excitement, inspire the city with a frenzy of sedition, and hurry the populace in whatever direction and against whomsoever he chooses. Their general humour, however, is even of a sportive kind, as Herodotus records to have been the case with Amasis. Such, then, is the character of this people; who were, however, in all other respects by no means contemptible. The people of Alexandria, accordingly, taking advantage of the prolonged absence of Dionysius, commander of the legions, in Upper .Egypt, decree the elevation to the highest priestly grade, of Timotheus, surnamed Aelurus, who had formerly followed the monastic life, but had subsequently been admitted among the presbyters of the church of Alexandria; and, conducting him to the great church, styled that of Caesar, elect him their bishop, though Proterius was still alive and discharged the functions of his office. There were present at the election, Eusebius, president of the church of Pelusium, and Peter the Iberian, bishop of the town of Majumas, according to the account given of the transaction by the writer of the life of Peter, who also says that Proterius was not killed by the populace, but by one of the soldiers. When Dionysius, on account of the urgency of these |71 disorders, had occupied the city with the utmost dispatch, and was taking prompt measures to quench the towering conflagration of the sedition, some of the Alexandrians, at the instigation of Timotheus, according to the written report made to Leo, despatch Proterius when he appeared, by thrusting a sword through his bowels, after he had fled for refuge to the holy baptistery. Suspending the body by a cord, they displayed it to the public in the quarter called Tetrapylum, jeering and vociferating that the victim was Proterius; and, after dragging it through the whole city, committed it to the flames; not even refraining themselves from tasting his intestines, like beasts of prey, according to the account of the entire transaction contained in the petition addressed by the Egyptian bishops and the whole clergy of Alexandria to Leo, who, as has been said, was invested with the imperial power on the death of Marcian. It was couched in the following terms:—"To the pious, Christ-loving, and divinely-appointed, the victorious and triumphant Augustus Leo, the petition of all the bishops of your Egyptian diocese, and the clergy of your most dignified and holy church of Alexandria. Having been granted, by divine grace, a boon to mankind, as such you cease not to exercise, next to God, a daily providence of the common weal, Augustus, most sacred of all emperors." After some other matters, the petition proceeds: "And while undisturbed |72 peace was prevailing among the orthodox people of our country and Alexandria, Timotheus, immediately after the holy synod at Chalcedon, being at that time a presbyter, severed himself from the Catholic church and faith, together with only four or five bishops and a few monks, of those who, as well as himself, were infected with the heretical errors of Apollinaris and his followers; on account of which opinions they were then deposed by Proterius, of divine memory, and the general synod of Egypt, and duly experienced the motion of the imperial will, in the sentence of banishment." And afterwards it proceeds: "And having watched the opportunity afforded by the departure from this world to God of the emperor Marcian, of sacred memory, assuming then in blasphemous terms a bold tone of independence, and shamelessly anathematising the holy and general synod at Chalcedon, while he drew after him a mercenary and disorderly multitude, and assailed the divine canons and ecclesiastical order, the commonwealth and the laws, he intruded himself upon the holy church of God, which at that time was possessed of a pastor and teacher in the person of our most holy father and archbishop, Proterius, duly performing the ordinary rites, and offering up to Christ, the Saviour of us all, supplications in behalf of your pious sovereignty and your Christ-loving court." And presently it proceeds: "And after the interval of only one day, while Proterius, |73 beloved of God, was occupying, as usual, the episcopal residence, Timotheus, taking with him the two bishops who had been justly deposed, and the clergy who, as we have said, were condemned to banishment with them, as if he had received rightful ordination at the hands of the two, though not one of the orthodox bishops of the whole Egyptian diocese was present, as is customary on occasion of the ordinations of the bishop of the church of Alexandria—he possesses himself, as he presumed, of the archiepiscopal see, though manifestly guilty of an adulterous outrage on the church, as already having her rightful spouse in one who was performing the divine offices in her, and canonically occupied his proper throne." And further on: "The blessed man could do nothing else than give place to wrath, according to what is written, and take refuge in the venerable baptistery from the assault of those who were pursuing him to death, a place which especially inspires awe even into barbarians and savages, though ignorant of its dignity, and the grace which flows from it. Notwithstanding, however, those who were eager to carry into execution the design which Timotheus had from the first conceived, and who could not endure that his life should be protected by those undefiled precincts, neither reverenced the dignity of the place, nor yet the season (for it was the solemnity of the saving paschal feast), nor were awe-struck at the priestly office which |74 mediates between God and man; but put the blameless man to death, cruelly butchering him with six others. They then drew forth his body, covered with wounds, and having dragged it in horrid procession with unfeeling mockery through almost every part of the city, ruthlessly loaded the senseless corpse with indignity, so far as to tear it limb from limb, and not even abstain from tasting, like beasts of prey, the ilesh of him whom but just before they were supposed to have as a mediator between God and man. They then committed what remained of the body to the flames, and scattered the ashes to the winds, exceeding the utmost ferocity of wild beasts. Of all these transactions Timotheus was the guilty cause, and the skilful builder of the scheme of mischief." Zacharias, however, while treating at length of these events, is of opinion that the greater part of the circumstances thus detailed actually occurred, but through the fault of Proterius, by his instigation of serious disturbances in the city, and that these outrages were committed, not by the populace, but by some of the soldiery; grounding his opinion on a letter addressed by Timotheus to Leo. In consequence, however, of these proceedings, Stilas is sent out by the emperor to chastise them. |75 LEO also addresses circular letters of inquiry to the bishops throughout the empire and the most distinguished monastics, relating to the synod at Chalcedon and the ordination of Timotheus, surnamed Aelurus, accompanying them with copies of the petitions which had been presented to him on the part both of Proterius and Timotheus. The circular letters were couched in the following terms:— A copy of the sacred epistle of the most pious emperor Leo to Anatolius, bishop of Constantinople, to the metropolitans throughout the whole world, and the other bishops. "The emperor Caesar Leo, pious, victorious, triumphant, supreme, ever-worshipful Augustus, to the bishop Anatolius. It has ever been a subject of prayer to my piety, that all the orthodox and most holy churches, and, indeed, the cities throughout the Roman dominion, should enjoy perfect tranquillity, and that nothing should befall them to disturb their settled serenity. The events, however, which have lately happened at Alexandria, we are assured, are known to your holiness: but that you may be more fully informed respecting the entire transaction, and the |76 cause of so much tumult and confusion, we have forwarded to your sanctity copies of the petitions which the most reverent bishops and clergy of the before-mentioned city, and of the Egyptian diocese, presented to our piety against Timotheus, at the imperial city of Constantine; and, in addition, copies of the petitions presented to our serenity, at our sacred court, by persons from Alexandria on behalf of Timotheus; so that your holiness will be able distinctly to learn what have been the proceedings of the before-mentioned Timotheus, whom the people of Alexandria and their dignitaries, senators, and ship-masters request for their bishop, and what relates to the other transactions, as intimated by the tenor of the petitions, as well as regarding the synod at Chalcedon, to which these parties by no means assent, according as the matters are set forth by the petitions appended. Your reverence will accordingly forthwith cause to assemble to you all the orthodox holy bishops who are now resident in the imperial city, as also the most reverent clergy; and, after carefully investigating and testing every circumstance, considering that Alexandria is at present disturbed, and that we are most solicitous for its settlement and tranquillity, declare your opinion respecting the before-mentioned Timotheus and the synod at Chalcedon, without any fear of man, and apart from all favour or dislike; setting before your eyes only the fear of the Almighty, inasmuch as ye |77 know that ye shall give account of this matter to His pure Godhead. This we enjoin, in order that, being perfectly informed by your letters, we may be able to frame the fitting issue on the entire matter." The emperor wrote also in similar terms to the other bishops, and, as I have said, to the most distinguished among those who at that period were practising the endurance of the bare and immaterial mode of life. Among these was Simeon, who first conceived the station on the pillar, and of whom I have made mention in the former part of the history; as well as Baradatus and Jacob, the Syrians. ACCORDINGLY, in the first instance, Leo, bishop of the elder Rome, both wrote in defence of the synod at Chalcedon, and declared the ordination of Timotheus to be null, as having been irregularly performed. This epistle the emperor Leo dispatches to Timotheus, president of the church of Alexandria; Diomedes, the silentiary, executing the imperial commission: and Timotheus wrote in rejoinder, excepting to the synod at Chalcedon and the epistle of Leo. Of these documents copies are preserved in the collection called the Circulars: but I have omitted them, to avoid |78 encumbering the matter on hand with too great a number. The bishops, too, of the other cities, expressed their adherence to the determinations framed at Chalcedon, and unanimously condemned the ordination of Timotheus. Amphilochius alone, bishop of Side, wrote an epistle, loudly reprobating the ordination of Timotheus, but also rejecting the synod at Chalcedon. Zacharias the rhetorician has also treated of these transactions, and has inserted the epistle itself of Amphilochius in his work. Simeon, too, of holy memory, wrote two epistles on the occasion; namely, to the emperor Leo, and to Basilius, bishop of Antioch. The latter, as being brief, I insert in this my history, as follows: "To my lord, the most religious and holy servant of God, the archbishop Basilius, the sinful and humble Simeon wishes health in the Lord. Well may we now say, my lord: Blessed be God, who has not rejected our prayer, nor withdrawn his mercy from us sinners. For, on the receipt of the letters of your worthiness, I admired the zeal and piety of our sovereign, beloved of God, which he manifested and still manifests towards the holy fathers and their unshaken faith. And this gift is not from ourselves, as says the holy apostle, but from God, who, through your prayers, bestowed on him this readiness of mind." And presently he proceeds: "On this account, I also, though mean and worthless, the refuse of the monks, have conveyed to his majesty my |79 judgment respecting the creed of the six hundred and thirty holy fathers assembled at Chalcedon, firmly resolving to abide by the faith then revealed by the Holy Spirit: for if, in the midst of two or three who are gathered in His name, the Saviour is present, how could it be otherwise, than that the Holy Spirit should be throughout in the midst of so many and so distinguished holy fathers?" And afterwards he proceeds: "Wherefore be stout and courageous in the cause of true piety, as was also Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, in behalf of the children of Israel. I beg you to salute from me all the reverent clergy who are under your holiness, and the blessed and most faithful laity." ON these grounds Timotheus is sentenced to banishment, and Gangra is in his case also named as the place of exile. The Alexandrians then elect another Timotheus, variously surnamed Basilicus and Salofacialus. Anatolius dies, and Gennadius succeeds him in the see of the imperial city. His successor is Acacius, who had been master of the Orphan Hospital in that city. |80
Since Proterius' handful of bishops and priests wanted to be received by the Church after the death of Proterius it is clear that they did not think that he had been murdered by St Timothy or anyone associated with him.
They only started spreading what are manifest lies after the great mass of the Orthodox populace refused to receive them back because they had so many innocent's blood on their hands.
Quote from: Severian on July 12, 2011, 10:50:32 AMI PM'd Iconodule a few sources which refutes the allegation that Proterius was murdered by St. Timothy Aelurus.Because he brought it up publicly, I'll allow you to put links to the sources in this thread. Then I expect everyone to drop the tangent.
" When Proterius continued to threaten the Romans, and to display his rage against them; because they took his gold, but did not fill their hands with the blood of his enemies : then, indeed, a certain Roman was stirred to anger in his heart, and was boiling over with rage ; and he invited Proterius to look round and he would show him the corpses of the slain as they lay. And suddenly and secretly, he drew his sword and stabbed Proterius in the ribs along with his Roman comrades, and they despatched him, and dragged him to the Tetrapylum, calling out respecting him as they went along, "This is Proterius." And others suspected that it was some crafty plot. But the Romans left the body, and went away. Then the people, perceiving this, became also greatly excited, and they dragged off the corpse, and burnt it with fire in the Hippodrome."
" ….the account given of the transaction by the writer of the life of Peter, also says that Proterius was not killed by the populace, but by one of the soldiers."

I have had an icon of St Severus commissioned, which I love very much.When I have some money I would very much like an icon of St Diocorus, and one of St Timothy. These three are especially my patrons.
"the writer of the life of Peter".... Hmm, which side do you think this writer would be on?
Let's agree to one thing Iconodule, if you would like to continue this discussion with me, do it via PM. We probably shouldn't have any more discussions on this subject in the public forum. Plus, St. Timothy's role in Proterius' murder has nothing to do with the main point of this thread. I don't like arguing. Peace and blessings in Christ,Severian
On a lighter note, I looked up St. Timothy Aelurus and it seems the term 'Aelurus' means something on the order of 'weasel-like.' Goodness! That's not nice.
Quote from: biro on July 12, 2011, 06:19:58 PMOn a lighter note, I looked up St. Timothy Aelurus and it seems the term 'Aelurus' means something on the order of 'weasel-like.' Goodness! That's not nice. Ah yes, I have read of two reasons why he is called "Aelurus" (weasel)1. Due to his small build2. Due to his strict ascetic lifeSometimes the surname "Aelurus" is translated "cat", but I read that, considering the context in which his nickname was coined, it most likely means "weasel".In Christ,Severian
I really hope that this isn't considered disrespectful, but I LOL'd at the "Timmy the Weasel" tag.
You can put together a collection of other images and say that you would like your commissioned icon to be in accordance with various features.After St Severus, St Timothy is my most important patron. I love him very much.

Drug violence flares again in southern Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Drug cartel violence has forced hundreds of people to flee their villages in the mountains near Mexico's southern Pacific coast, amid a new surge in gang confrontations that left bodies littered around the region, authorities said Friday.
The development comes just days after the arrest of one of Mexico's bloodiest capos, Zetas cartel leader Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, near the U.S. border. Better known as "Z-40," Trevino Morales was taken by helicopter to an undisclosed maximum-security prison Friday.
An official in the federal prosecutors' office, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the case, said the prisoner now faces formal charges, but did not specify which. Soon after the arrest Monday, federal security spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said Trevino Morales would be charged with homicide, torture, organized crime, money laundering, weapons possession and drug trafficking.
The prosecution official also confirmed that one of the alleged leaders of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, Victor Delgado Renteria, had been arrested last week near the western city of Guadalajara.
Some Mexicans had expressed hopes the arrest of Trevino Morales could bring a decrease in drug bloodshed, but violence has only increased along the southern Pacific coast, in the states of Michoacan and Guerrero. Mexico has often experienced such ups-and-downs before as drug violence calmed in one previously bloodied region only to swell in another.
Jalisco New Generation has been battling the Michoacan-based Knights Templar cartel for control of the southern region. Residents said the latest battles appeared tied to the discovery Friday of four bodies hanging from a bridge in the town of Buenavista, where people rose up in arms against the Knights Templar gang in February.
It was unclear whether the self-defense squad in Buenavista had any relation to the deaths, which came a day after five other bullet-ridden bodies were found on a road near Buenavista, some with gunshots to the head.
The Michoacan state prosecutor's office said all of the men had been shot to death, but offered no motive for the killings. But Hipolito Mora, leader of another self-defense squad in the nearby town of La Ruana, said the deaths appeared to be part of the battle between the two rival cartels.
"It look like a war has broken out," said Mora. "I think it is between the Knights Templar and Jalisco New Generation."
Even heavily armed federal police convoys traveling on major highways have come under attack. On Thursday, gunmen fired on a convoy of eight federal police trucks near a highway tollbooth, killing three officers and wounding three others before escaping into the hills.
Such brazen attacks also occurred in Michoacan in 2006 and 2009, and usually marked an upswing in violence.
The turf battles appear to be spilling over into the neighboring state of Guerrero, where hundreds of residents of isolated mountain villages have been forced to flee their homes.
"There has been what we call a 'cockroach' effect," Guerrero state government spokesman Jose Villanueva said. "Amid the crackdown on crime in Michoacan, the criminals spill over into the border areas of neighboring states, like the border areas of Guerrero."
In late May, a video posted on social media sites showed dozens of masked, heavily armed gunmen who described themselves as members of Jalisco New Generation and said they had set up operations in Guerrero to fight incursions there by the Knights Templar.
Villanueva said he could not confirm whether the video was authentic or whether Jalisco had entered Guerrero, but he acknowledged that several gangs were operating in the state, especially in the mountainous areas near the Michoacan border.
He said that in the rural township of San Miguel Totolapan, about 500 people had fled their homes amid increased shootouts in the area. He said drug cartels were a major factor in those confrontations, although the area has also experienced conflicts over land and logging disputes.
The state government said in a press statement that it was providing food and shelter for about 120 families from three outlying villages in San Miguel Totolapan, which functions as a sort of county seat.
Some of the displaced people have started to return to their communities, and the state said federal and state police and army patrols had been sent into the township "to guarantee the safety of these families."
Associated Press writer E. Eduardo Castillo contributed to this report.

In case you're wondering - I prefer the term 'diskette' for the 3.5" variants, and reserve the term 'floppy' for the 5.25" and 8" variants, for obvious reasons. Being born in 1984, I have used the 3.5" variant for more than a decade for various purposes - most notably as a medium to install boot loaders onto; poor man's GRUB, if you will. Of course, document storage was its prime purpose. And, I still have my original MS-DOS 6.0 diskettes, as well as the diskettes for Windows 3.0.
Instead of writing a long history of the diskette and floppy, I decided to tear open one of my floppy drives and take some random high-resolution shots of the internals. Why? Well, I had never taken a floppy drive apart before, and was curious. Do I need any other reason?
Let's talk memories in the comments, shall we?

Vick again can't pass concussion test
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick did not pass a league-mandated concussion test this week and will not return to practice until he does.
Vick, injured in a 38-23 loss to Dallas on Nov. 11, took the exam on Wednesday, the Eagles said. Backup Nick Foles, a rookie who has started the last two games for Philadelphia, will likely get the call again on Sunday, when the Eagles (3-8) face the Cowboys (5-6), this time in Dallas.
Vick endured consecutive bruising hits in the second quarter against the Cowboys in Philadelphia before leaving the game. He was knocked on his back by Dallas linebacker Ernie Sims on an incomplete pass and was slow to get up. On the previous play, he was driven from behind headfirst into the ground by Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff.
Philadelphia has lost seven in a row, and is in last place in the NFC East.

Martine and Jacques (Zabou and Sam Karmann) knew their friend before he became an important television personality, but have not seen him for over ten years. They are hospitable people - witness the fact that they have been putting up with having writer Georges (Jean-Pierre Bacri) be their informal roommate, as he sleeps on their living-room sofa off and on over the years whenever he is between jobs. They have invited their friend and his wife Charlotte (Agnes Jaoui) over for dinner, and are on pins and needles, as they want everything to go just right. Instead, George allows his bitterness that Charlotte, his ex-girlfriend, married a success to overwhelm him, and Martine and Jacques are apalled when their brother, who hasn't a penny and is deeply in debt, persuades their guest of honor to join him in a high-stakes poker game. The many subcurrents taking place between the celebrity and everyone else necessitate frequent conferences in the kitchen. This movie is based on a successful stage play, and features the original cast.

OK, contrary to what you have just read, I do not come from the Deep South, I come from Bromley by Bow. But having served up some squirrel for the first time ever to my family last night, I have to say that I really did get caught up in the romance of it all, this Appalachian style of cooking and spent the best part of the meal trying to converse in the appropriate manner. And have done so ever since. Which I think is starting to annoy my wife somewhat. Especially come bedtime last night, when I whispered into her ear, "Night, night, John Boy".
Of course, you don't have to carry on like an idiot redneck to appreciate the finer qualities of this woodland creature and if you haven't tried squirrel yet, then I suggest you do. I bought 4 of the ornery critters (along with some pheasant) from Wild About Meat, a small but very friendly game dealer based in White Roding, Essex last week and it took a while to decide what route to take. Because it is so lean, like rabbit meat, a lot of recipes suggest a bit of stewing or braising to ensure that it remains tender but during the consideration, I kept hearing the dulcet tones of the King himself reverberate in the back of my mind. So I went in for some deep frying, KFC style as it is an excellent method for sealing in moisture. Although keep an eye on the temperature if you can, my oil was a touch too hot at the start. As for the taste, well squirrel is in texture like a cross between chicken and rabbit but so much sweeter, delicious in contrast to the herby crispy crust from deep frying. And it didn't bother the kids one little bit that they were tucking into Tufty.
Deep Fried Squirrel (cook with Suspicious Minds blaring in the background) - serves 4
1ltr sunflower oil
100gms plain flour
2 tbsp of mixed herbs
1 tsp of cayenne pepper
healthy pinch of salt and ground pepper
pinch of chilli flakes
2 eggs
100ml evaporated milk (tip picked up from Valentine Warner recipe)
lemon, for a quick squeeze over afterwards
Heat the oil in a large deep pan (I used a stock pot) until it reaches 180c, I used the ol' drop a cube of bread in and if it browns in 30 seconds, it's ready trick.
Pat down the squirrel pieces with kitchen towel to ensure that they're really dry.
Combine the flour, herbs, spices, salt and pepper in one bowl and beat the eggs and evaporated milk in another.
Take a piece of squirrel and give it a thorough coating in the egg mixture and then dust thoroughly in the seasoned flour and place on a tray or large plate. Repeat (this can get messy)
When ready, pop your pieces of squirrel into the oil, large pieces first such as the saddle and cook in batches. I used a rough rule of thumb, frying the saddle for 10 mins, legs for 8 mins and arms for 5 mins. Or until they are nice and golden and cooked through. Take out with tongs when done and leave in on a tray covered in kitchen towel to soak up excess oil. Squeeze over some lemon.
Enjoy with potato wedges, corn on the cob and salad (suppose it really should come with gravy, grits, dumplings and peanut butter but the choice is yours)
Tufty disclaimer: these squirrels were grey NOT red

Sol 174 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Fully Charged30 January 2013
I served as SOWG Chair for Sol 174 planning, which includes the first use of the drill on Mars. Drill tailings will not be collected during this test, which will use only the percussion (not rotation) drilling mode. MAHLI images will be taken before and after the drill activity, so the effect of the percussion on the outcrop target should be easy to assess. To enable SAM analysis of one of the "blank" samples brought from Earth on Sol 175, the Sol 174 plan has to leave the rover batteries nearly fully charged at the time of handover to the Sol 175 plan. This didn't leave much room for activities in addition to the drill test, but we were able to squeeze in ChemCam, DAN, Mastcam, and REMS observations.

Inside the cab, benefit from a host of visibility-enhancing details, including the operator seat – located on the left of the two-person cab – and Volvo Smart View. The standard feature combines three exterior-mounted camera views to create a bird's eye view of the machine, displayed via the on-board monitor.

Today marks an entire week of using Haiku as my primary operating system. This is my first PC to get the most out of any BeOS related operating system to date. My old 200MHz Toshiba ran R5 PE just fine but without any networking. My eMachine ran Zeta just fine, but once again, there were networking issues (and Zeta was pronounced dead around this time). In the age of the Internet, this pretty much forced me away from BeOS and its decendants until now.

This cemetery was founded and has been maintained by Oume city. Almost all gravestones in this cemetery have been made in the western style and not in the traditional Japanese style.
Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.

When Chef Jose Garces, the Philadelphia-based restaurateur and author of The Latin Road Home, thinks back to the Thanksgiving table of his youth, he remembers the turkey, and his father's chicken giblet gravy.
But his parents, who emigrated to Chicago from Ecuador in the 1960s, whipped up Ecuadorean staples as well.
Those might be meat-filled empanadas, or sweet corn humitas — Ecuadorean tamales.
"[Humita] is basically a puree of yellow corn, with white corn flour. It's filled with scallions and cheese, and then it's wrapped in a rehydrated corn husk and steamed," says Garces. "It has a little bit of baking powder so it kind of fluffs up. It should be nice and airy. It's something we would serve for Thanksgiving in place of corn bread."
Humitas can be stuffed with chicken or beef.
"Any good Ecuadorean would tell you it's sacrilege not to serve them just with cheese," says Garces.
Garces says his family also enjoyed a quinoa soup — a chowder in the locro family, made with Ecuadorean potatoes and milk. His family's version has aromatic vegetables, cooked quinoa, achiote or annatto paste, fresh corn kernels and a touch of cream. He tops it off with bacon bits or lardon.
And to drink?
"In the season it gets a little chilly, and we really like sangria as a family," says Garces. "It's just a great festive cocktail."
And it is possible to make it nonalcoholic as well, Garces says.
Click on the links below for Garces' recipes:
And for more of his recipes, check out this recent interview on Talk of the Nation.
This week, we've been asking chefs to give us tips for the Thanksgiving feast. We've heard from Alton Brown about his foolproof way to prepare turkey. Debbie Lee gave us ideas for some delicious Korean-inspired dishes and now, with just a week to go, we hear from chef and Philadelphia restaurateur Jose Garces. He has ideas for adding some Latin flair to the feast.
His parents emigrated from Ecuador in the 1960s and settled in Chicago. I asked him what was on his family's Thanksgiving table when he was growing up.
JOSE GARCES: So what's on the table is the obvious, turkey. My dad also made a really delicious chicken giblet gravy. But also, we had our Ecuadorean staples. It could be a meat-filled empanada, a sweet corn humita, or, you know, my mom also embraced the American side. So she would do her version of stuffing, which was pretty good. It had chicken livers and a lot of aromatic vegetables.
BLOCK: Tell me about the humitas. What's a humita?
GARCES: So, humita is a sweet corn tamale. It's is basically a puree of yellow corn, with white corn flour. It's filled with scallions and cheese, and then it's wrapped in a rehydrated corn husk and steamed. It has a little bit of baking powder, so it kind of fluffs up. It should be nice and airy. And that's something you would serve - typically, we would serve for Thanksgiving in place of corn bread.
BLOCK: And what else can you put in side them?
GARCES: Chicken, like a chicken filling, you could put beef. But typically, you know, any good Ecuadorian would tell you it's sacrilege not to serve them just with cheese.
BLOCK: Uh-huh. So the sweet corn humitas. What else might be on the Garces' family table?
GARCES: Well, we would also do a great quinoa soup, which actually was a chowder in the locro family, which, a locro is a Ecuadorean potato and milk chowder. And our version would have a lot of aromatic vegetables, cooked quinoa, achiote or annatto paste, fresh corn kernels as well, a touch of cream and then maybe some bacon gratin, bacon bits or bacon lardons we would put on there as well.
BLOCK: It sounds rich, but also really, really good.
GARCES: Absolutely.
BLOCK: You have a recipe for something to drink that sounds wonderful.
GARCES: Yeah. I think in the season it gets a little chilly, and we really like sangria as a family. It's just a great festive cocktail. It's Spanish-inspired and we do a spiced cranberry and dried red chile sangria with some spices, anise and clove. I like to use a Rose Tempranillo, some ruby red port, a little Torres Gran orange liqueur or Cointreau, and cranberry juice. And it's just - if you let that marinate just the right amount of time, it gives your party a great festive feel.
BLOCK: I guess you could do it nonalcoholic.
GARCES: You could do it nonalcoholic as well. You know, I hadn't thought about it...
BLOCK: But now you will.
GARCES: Yes, absolutely.
BLOCK: Well, Mr. Garces, cheers. Happy Thanksgiving.
GARCES: Cheers. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Thanks for having me on.
BLOCK: Chef Jose Garces, author of the cookbook "The Latin Road Home." We've posted his recipes on our food blog, The Salt, where you can also find Thanksgiving suggestions from Alton Brown and Debbie Lee.

New ranger joins Mammoth, Mono Lake ranger districts
Mammoth and Mono Lake have a new Inyo National Forest deputy district ranger and her name is Sarah Tomsky.
Most recently Tomsky has served as a program specialist in fuels management at the U.S. Forest Service's Region 5 Regional Office in Vallejo.
With her parents both serving in the military, Tomsky spent most of her childhood moving around the country. In that time, her family was stationed in multiple locations up and down the California coast. In 1998, Tomsky received a fine art degree from Washington University in St. Louis, majoring in photography and art history. She spent the following 10 years in the midwest where she worked in the arts and tourism industries.
In 2008, Tomsky pursued a career change that led her to graduate school at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor's School of Natural Resources and Environment. She received her Masters of Science in 2010, with a focus on Environmental Policy & Planning and Conservation Biology.
Upon graduation, she was hired by the Forest Service as a Presidential Management Fellow. During the two-year fellowship, she led the collaborative development of a Fuels Management Strategy for California's 18 national forests. She also spent a six-month developmental assignment mentoring under the Recreation Staff Officer of the Red Rock Ranger District of the Coconino National Forest in Sedona, Arizona.
"I feel incredibly honored to serve as Deputy District Ranger in such a beautiful and dynamic location," Tomsky said. "In the short time I've been here, I've been overwhelmed by both the spectacular landscapes as well as the warm welcome I've received."
Tomsky will be working out of the Lee Vining Ranger Station and can be reached at 760-647-3033.

Two longtime Florida citrus grower-shippers are launching a citrus brand to increase tangerine consumption and help save an endangered species.
During the January start of Florida"s honey tangerine harvest, Sunshine Story LLC plans to market the Legend of the Sun Lion-branded Florida tangerines to revive tangerine demand and help the Florida panther.
Marty McKenna, chairman of the Bartow-based Florida Citrus Commission and president of Sebring, Fla.-based McKenna & Associates Citrus Inc. Vic Story Jr., immediate past president of Lakeland-based Florida Citrus Mutual and vice chairman and president of the Lake Wales, Fla.-based the Story Cos. and partner David Gornoski, a marketing executive, started the Lakeland, Fla.-based venture this summer.
Gornoski, president, said Sunshine Story plans to focus its 3-pound mesh bags on Florida retailers and said the company is developing a public relations campaign to motivate families to eat fresh Florida tangerines.
"This is really a unique way to get kids and young families excited to eat Florida citrus," Gornoski said. "We have looked at ways to develop a consumer brand orientation for Florida fresh fruit. Florida citrus has a lot of latent consumer brand power that"s not being tapped into the way it should be, particularly for the youngest generation.
"This campaign introduces a real-life icon, the Florida panther, to get kids learning about the importance of conservation and at the same time, use it as an opportunity to promote local, Florida citrus."
The company is pledging 10% of its net profits to fund panther conservation efforts.
Developing an illustrated children"s book to tell the story of the fictional Sun Lion panther, the grassroots campaign represents a Florida comeback story for the panther as well as the tangerine, Gornoski said.
Fewer than 200 panthers are estimated to remain in the wild, he said.
Gornoski, who previously worked in marketing primarily in the entertainment world, declined to state acreage and volume but said the company is working with several central Florida citrus packinghouses to keep the local focus of the brand.

juniper is 8 months old. she is breastfed exclusively, and i don't have a pump any longer or bottles.
we initially thought our issue was confusion due to pacifier... but i think i was wrong.
i'm new to realizing that my supply is insane. i was an exclusive pumper for the first 2 months instead of nursing (and a monster producer, sometimes overfilling the 6 oz bottles per breast), but went back to nursing after i quit my job. for 6 months, i have been cursed with a fussy nurser. she never asks to nurse, even if it has been 8 hours since she last nursed. once i lure her to the breast, she must be really sleepy to nurse. once she sucks to let down, i spray her in the face, she coughs, chokes, and squeals to get away. i give her a pacifier for a few minutes until we both calm down a little. it usually takes a dance like this that takes about 30 minutes to get her to nurse. i'll bet she only nurses actively for 5 minutes or so, and she is full.
she sleeps after every nursing session.
she has horrible gas.
a little daytime fussyness.
a few days between poops still, but normal orange poops. no green froth.
she spits up a few times a day still.
she gets the hiccups frequently.
she has dinner with us, normally 2-3 tbsp pureed peas or yams or something like that.
she only nurses 4-5 times a day.
6:30pm babyfood
8:00pm (sometimes!)
so i'm pretty sure that this all says that i have oversupply, right? i mean, she gains well well, and her poops are loud but normal. i'm guessing these things are because i force her to finish the breast to get hindmilk.
she is 8 months, should i bother correcting our issue if she will be weaning in 4 mos anyway? i have about 2 months BM in the freezer i am thinking of weaning to bottles soon so we don't have to deal with this. am i giving up too easily?
i am so desperate. i feel like i can't do my job right. i don't want her stomach to hurt. i feel really stupid that i can't get this right. we've worked so hard to get here, and it still is failing. i am so sad. i wish it were as easy for us as it looks like everyone else has it... nursing in the middle of the mall, peaceful baby... i've got the "why me?"'s.
anyone have some insight? should i wean a little early?

In the closing days of
The albums were introduced into evidence at the Nuremberg war crimes trials and then turned over to the National Archives.
But a few years ago, the nephew of a deceased U.S. soldier brought another album into the offices of the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art.
"We collected ourselves after the surprise of seeing this," said Robert M. Edsel, chairman of the Dallas-based foundation. "We, like our friends at the National Archives, were under the assumption that there were just 39."
On Thursday's 69th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, the 3-inch-thick leather-bound album, taken as a souvenir from Adolf Hitler's retreat as the war came to a close, was turned over to the archives at a ceremony featuring one of the six surviving Monuments Men.
"This album is just the tip of the iceberg for hundreds of thousands of cultural items still missing since World War II," Edsel said, underscoring the importance for families to scour attics and closets for historical treasures.
Added senior archivist Greg Bradsher, "This is additional evidence that there is stuff out there."
The presentation of the album, which weighs about 8 pounds and includes black-and-white photographs of French paintings, comes as legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the Monuments Men has gained more than two-thirds of the House and Senate as co-sponsors.
The Monuments Men were roughly 350 men — and women — who worked to return art treasures to their owners.
One of the unit's survivors, Harry Ettlinger, 88, a German Jewish immigrant who lives in New Jersey, attended the ceremony, standing next to a photo of himself, a 19-year-old in uniform in a German salt mine, posing next to a recovered Rembrandt self-portrait.
At a news conference at the National Archives building, he noted that the Rembrandt had earlier been on exhibit at a German museum three blocks from where he lived in the 1930s, but he had never seen it because Jews were barred from the museum.
"I finally got to see it," he said.
The album is one of what is believed to be about 100 created by the staff of Alfred Rosenberg, a Hitler confidant, to catalog looted paintings, jewelry, furniture and other objects. (Rosenberg's diary was recently discovered by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum after a years-long search. In it, he boasts of the "Jewish art treasures" his staff confiscated with a value estimated at 1 billion reichsmarks, or about $250 million.)
"These are the presentation albums that those working for Hitler — Rosenberg in particular — would assemble to say, 'Look what a good job we're doing, my Fuehrer,'" Edsel said.
A letter representing the family from which the painting was stolen and an inventory number is noted beneath each image in the album.
"So R is Rothschild, object No. 437," Edsel said, referring to the Rothschild family.
As it turns out, the first photo in the album shows French artist Nicolas de Largilliere's "Portrait of a Woman," one of the paintings featured on the cover of Edsel's book on the Monuments Men. The cover shows soldiers carrying paintings down the steps of the Neuschwanstein Castle.
One of the paintings in the album, Nicolas-Antoine Taunay's "Landscape with an Aqueduct," can be seen at the
The Texas man who inherited the album from his uncle — and who did not want to be named — knew it was "something that was taken from Hitler's home in Berchtesgaden as a souvenir," but not its historic importance, Edsel said.
The man asked what Edsel was willing to pay for the album. But Edsel persuaded the man to donate the album to the foundation, which he did in 2006, to be turned over to the archives.
"Sometimes, with the soldiers and their heirs, it's a simple matter of me explaining to them what it is, why it's important, why they can't sell them, what they should do with it," Edsel said in an interview.
The donation brings to 43 the number of albums at the archives'
Edsel said he hoped the film based on his book would raise awareness of lost historical treasures. "Nothing can raise worldwide awareness like a Hollywood feature film," he said.
Edsel was relieved to finally turn over the album to the archives, noting he brought it to Washington in a box covered with a swastika.
"It has caused some interesting moments at airport security," he said.

A. Should I be pumping the breast I'm not nursing from during block feeding? I am worried about decreasing my supply by block feeding.
B. Is it OK that baby will nurse for up to 50 minutes during one feeding? Essentially, I am feeding her from one breast at each feeding, every two to three hours (depending on when she wants to feed again).
C. How can I tell that my breast is completely empty (other than that it goes from feeling hard to soft)? Baby has never let go on her own to indicate that she is done.

No real disagreement ....
To me, the only discussion that makes sense is whether McQureary should have physically defended the boy that particular night and then called the cops, or only called cops, University or town. Of course, as we know he did neither, and nobody thinks what he did was adequate. Frankly Joe Paterno should have never been involved, but since he was, he is fair game for what he failed to do as well, as is the athletic director and the University President. As Kelly says, the powerful protected each other and I will add another entity they tried to protect, the all powerful football program. Of course, because of McQreary's, Paterno's and Curley's failusre to act they end up dragging the football program into the scandal.
Kelly takes pains to say that Sandusky and this fellow Bernie Fine are not victims but victimizers. I might be inclined to say the two are somewhat victims, but agree that mostly they are victimizers and that what they did to those boys was far worse than any pain they themselves have experienced. They are the textbook definition of one type of criminal, someone who knows right from wrong but gives into what they know is an illegal sexual impulse.
I remember an interesting discussion/argument between two co-workers (which I involved myself in on the periphery). One is a male Muslim and the other a woman (Christian, I am not sure whether Catholic or Protestant). The woman was complaining about Muslin treatment of women, and the Muslim brought up how the ancient Greek adult males interacted with young boys. The Anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss surveyed as many cultures as he could find and found that the one (and only) taboo he could find across all cultures is incest. Despite that fact, no one in the history of America would make an argument that adult males interacting sexually with male children is in any way acceptable. I have no doubt that Sandusky and Fine knew that, and should have sought therapy or some type of counseling instead of acting on their impulses.
I think we call all agree on (at least) that.

Spelling, Ed. Check your spelling.
It's McQueary not McQureary or McQreary.
And the word failure doesn't usually have an "s" in it.
And it's Muslim not Muslin.

Ed. Who can we believe?
Bust the thread...liberal media at its best/worst
Normally I pay zero attention to what goofballs say about me, but my wife brought my attention to this piece by one Roy Edroso in the Village Voice, titled "Rightbloggers Declare Former Future President Herman Cain a (What Else?) Victim of Obama, Media." I was one of the principal conservatives quoted, ostensibly, by Mr. Edroso:
John Hinderaker at Power Line was similarly slippery: "I am angered because people who wanted Herman Cain out of the way got what they wanted," he wrote.
Actually, I wrote no such thing, as you can see if you follow Mr. Edroso's link.
Really? Who were they? "I am also angered because I do not believe these accusations would have seen the light of day had he not won the Florida Straw Poll." So — it was one of the other Republican candidates, then? Which one?
Nope. I didn't write that either.
"People who spread rumor, innuendo and outright lies have been rewarded for their behavior. The truth no longer matters." Well, that could be anybody. Got a name?
Sorry. I didn't write that.
"Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and other GOP candidates can expect far worse if they are in any position to unseat President Obama." Ah, so it wasn't the other candidates? But then who –
Sorry if this is getting boring, but I didn't write that, either.
"What happened to Herman Cain," Hinderaker finally said, "is what the Democrats intend to do to whoever the Republican nominee turns out to be. They know they can't win a debate on the economy or on President Obama's record, so they will do everything they can to distract the voters' attention from those matters, which should be decisive, and instead turn the focus to the GOP candidate and his or her alleged foibles…"
"Finally" is right! The Village Voice finally quotes something I actually did say. But they go on to comment inappropriately, based on their wrongly attributing all of the preceding quotes to me:
Clever! Hinderaker never actually said Obama did it, but shrewdly ruled out — by innuendo if not by logic — the people who had the most to gain by Cain's exit, and turned suspicion on Obama, who would be singing Glory Hallelujah if the bumbling Cain were nominated to run against him. As long as the Republican gravy train still runs, Hinderaker will never miss a meal.
This makes no sense, of course. I didn't say that anyone other than Herman Cain was responsible for Cain's demise. I warned that the Democrats have every intention of trying to hang on to power by diverting attention from Obama's failures to the real or alleged eccentricities of the Republican candidate, and therefore the GOP should nominate someone without the glaring weaknesses that came to light during the Cain campaign.
I don't know who (if anyone) actually wrote the first four quotes that the Voice attributed to me. But it is impossible to take seriously a liberal "journalist" who links to a post, and then attacks it by fabricating four quotes that are nowhere to be found at the link. Is the Village Voice America's lamest news site? We report, you decide.

Deranged Propaganda Cartoonist Pat Oliphant Has a Simple Message for America: Republicans Are Pedophiles:
- December 06, 2011 10:22 AM
- EdHeath said...
HTTT, actually I agree that the Pat Oliphant cartoon is pretty obnoxious. I think he should apologize for that.
I mean, I see Oliphant's point that Cain knew his own history, and should have known it would come out. But then Newt's history was already out there, yet that doesn't seem to be slowing him down (after all, Clinton got elected with his history). And I remember vaguely suggestions that Paterno should run for Pennsylvania Governor or even President when he retired (before we found out he had no plans to retire ever). But that is not nearly enough to justify Oliphant's cartoon.
Oliphant might have gotten a laugh without the stupid slur by suggesting Jeb Bush as the next person approaching the Republican for President train stop.
