Ravioli - A Ciongoli Thanksgiving Tradition
To most Americans, the fourth Thursday of November means turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potatoes. In my house it is a little bit different. Of course we have all these things but all anybody really cares about is ravioli. Its a celebration pasta, only eaten on holidays. My father looked forward to Thanksgiving for two reasons alone: the time with his family and the time with his grandmother's ravioli. The clip above is from another one of his appearences on Mary Ann Esposito's Ciao Italia cooking show. This time he shares the recipe for our family ravioli. Try it today to add a hint of Italian culture to one of America's best traditions. Happy Thanksgiving everybody. The recipe and video can also be found here.

Outstanding recipe and tribute.
Happy thanksgiving and with best wishes in the memory of your father.
Giuseppe said...
It's funny, Mrs. G always thought this was a crazy tradition. "How can you guys eat a big heavy plate of dinner before a full blown turkey dinner?" .
Simple: add lots of wine and spread the eating out over many, many hours.Too bad she never experienced my Nonna's ravioli. They were as big as bed pillows.
Happy Thanksgiving, paisano.

I have the same apron your Dad is wearing, only the stripes vertically on mine. A gift of the proprietor of the local Italian grocery store.

} | 964 | , New York
Madison Square Garden
August 30th - September 2nd 2004
Presidential Nominee:
George W. Bush of Texas
Vice Presidential Nominee:
Richard B. Cheney of Wyoming
From August 30th to September 2nd 2004, the 38th National Convention for the Republican Party was held in Madison Square Garden, one New York's most famous and spacious arenas. Boasting seating for 20,000, the venue had to support almost 50,000 participants visiting at one time or another. Furthermore, this was the first occasion in which the Republicans had their convention in New York City. Indeed, with the city housing approximately 8 million residents it offered an urbane and diverse setting to accommodate the Republican Party, but at a price. One of the problems the Republican faced was to appeal to the broadest audience possible in a traditionally blue region of the United States.
Not surprisingly, much of the targeted voting bloc was moderate and independent constituents. One quote by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, published in the Los Angeles Times, manifested the sentiment aptly: "Maybe, just maybe, you don't agree with this party on every single issue. I say to you tonight I believe that's not only okay but that's what's great about this country. Here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic, still be American, and still be good Republicans." Besides Governor, Schwarzenegger, other moderate speakers were New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former New York Governor George Pataki, Sen. John McCain of Arizona , and even Independent Democrat Zell Miller of Georgia. Meanwhile, former First Lady Laura Bush endorsed her husband, appealing mainly to women to support her husband.
Overall, another way to appeal more to moderates was to emphasize issues such as national security. Case in point, the occasion kicked off with a tribute to victims of the 9/11 tragedy. The schedule included, among other things, addresses by Sen. John McCain of Arizona and Rudolph Giuliani surrounding the theme of 'A Nation of Courage.' With his military service record, McCain spoke about the role of the U.S. military and its role following the 9/11 terrorists attacks and its part in the objective to rid the world of terrorism. Similarly, Giuliani, mayor of New York at the time, enumerated his account of the notorious day in American history, also commemorating those who acted courageously in early September, 2001.
Because of the physical and chronological connection to the 3rd anniversary of the attacks, security was an enormous issue as well. Not surprisingly, the Secret Service was placed in charge of security using a myriad of tactics and components: from 10,000 officers in complete riot gear, to bomb-sniffing canines. Part of this program included the officers from NYPD's Herculean program, outfitting officers with combat gear and fully automatic weapons, and assigning them to protect likely terrorist targets. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, divulged to a member of the Associate Press how the event would be denoted as a National Special Security Event in which the Secret Service would form and execute a security setup concordantly with state and local authorities with the objective of hindering any threatening illegal activity. Of course, such a stronghold of security comes at none too small of a price. Much of the approximately 60 million spent on city services funded this premium security - a substantial percentage of the 150 plus million dollar price tag.
As far as dissenters, there was a fairly strong presence. On September 1st, some 5,000 demonstrators formed a line spanning 3 miles, indicating a then discouraged outlook at the state of the economy. One of the largest assemblies, it sharply contrasted 11 members of the AIDS group ACT UP, who were arrested while protesting on stage, interrupting the speech of White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Card. Though, an isolated incident, some figures released estimate approximately 1800 were arrested overall. Most of the number of those detained was kept in Pier 57 - an area in Manhattan updated for the purpose of temporary confining up to 1,000 people. Pier 57 itself angered a group of some 200 protesters who voiced disapproval of the conditions, some even comparing it to Guantanamo Bay prison. As it turns out many did not end up serving time in jail. According to a report by Jonathan Wald through CNN.com, video evidence led to charges against some of the protesters being dropped.
Even with the backdrop of mass arrests, no crippling disruptions were reported. Former First Lady Laura Bush, and Gov Schwarzenegger gave their scheduled speeches with no delays for the second day's 'A People of Compassion.' On Day 3, 'A Land of Opportunity,' the 46th Vice President Cheney accepted the vice-presidential nomination for that presidency and former Sen. Zell Miller, (D-Ga) gave the keynote speech. The closing day, themed 'A Safer World, a more Hopeful America' included a tribute to Ronald Regan, who passed away earlier that year, in addition to speeches from George Pataki and George Bush. Since incumbent Republican George W Bush faced no competition for the 2509 delegates' votes, the outcome was inevitable: Bush's final address included his acceptance of the 2004 Republican Party nomination for presidency.

A-28 / a study in orange / wild at heart / a study in pink / the red vase / A-28 (early layers)
In December I participated in a local group art show at The Mahone Bay Centre called "One Size Fits All". Each artist could purchase up to 5 - 6x6 inch wooden panels as the registration fee for the show. It was an open call for submissions with 70 artists submitting 250 works of art (6X6 inches). All priced between $50 and $150 sales exceeded $10,000 with artists getting 100% of sales. $1000 was raised for the Mahone Bay Centre through the modest registration fee. The project was a great example of how funds can be raised without asking artists to donate their work or even a percentage of sales. The top 5 images above are my submissions to the show (the bottom image is an earlier version of what eventually became the top image A-28).
my new colouring book
Shown here are 22 pages of the 126 pages found in my new POSH colouring book Inspired Garden with Andrews McMeel Publishing. 126 drawings inspired by a bunch of my most favourite things in life. Nature, flowers, gardening, more flowers, cats, inspirational & motivational words and sentiments more cats and lots more flowers ... oh and lots of butterflies and bees too ! Available for purchase in my Etsy shop - Such a fun project !
from passion project to art licensing
From the top 1). sketches along the way 2). Studio M catalog/web site photo 3 - 6). pages from my winter 2014/2015 100 days of sketchbook project 7 & 8). more sketches back and forth with my lovely clients Anne & Cathy 9). my final pdf presentation 10). from my front garden my art planters spilling with colourful annuals
I'm a big believer in passion projects because they have been so incredibly beneficial to my own creative growth and for my art licensing business. Our friend and colleague Jennifer Orkin Lewis and before her the fab Lisa Congdon were the first artists I can remember having daily passion projects that I was paying attention to. Then came the very popular #100days project which is when I think I officially hopped on this bandwagon. I had just joined Instagram (very late to the party) and having a 100 day project gave me something new I created to post each day - if you go way back in my susanblackdesign IG feed you'll see my first floral drawings (with collage) sketchbook project, an every night with Netflix winter habit and the project that lead to this great art planter project with Studio M (and others). Next I did 100 day project of line drawings which I turned into my own self published colouring book Cats & Flowers, Flowers & Cats which I sold in my Etsy shop, locally and sent out as a gift/promotional pice to all my favourite art licensing customers. It's been amazing how much NEW work came from that line drawing/colouring book passion project ... a new colour-it-yourself multi sku gift collection with Midwest/CBK, a colouring Art Heart with Demdaco, a colouring greeting card with Design House Greetings and sold at Trader Joe's and best of all 2 new full size colouring books with Andrew's McMeel - the first 126 page book Inspired Garden is available now for pre-order at Amazon - yay !!

• KING
Looking forward to 1,4,5. Especially 5. Isaiah Rashad doing the Cypher with his new labelmates ya bish!!!!
Plus I love the fact that Connor signed with Aftermath. Seems to be the only major label that knows what they’re doing with talented artists as of late.
• Quickstrike
TDE vs Slaughterhouse basically. Just hope TDE takes it as serious as Slaughterhouse will.
• sam
Skillz tweeted that Kendrick basically did Control part 2 in his freestyle, so that’ll be really interesting to hear.
• Logan
Where’s Eminem?? TDE and Slaughterhouse cypher will be dope, wanna hear ASAP MOB as well.
• koke
where the fuck is Chief Keef?
• KING
^LMFAO this nigga just said “where the fuck is Chief Keef?”
• OPP
Lookin’ forward to the TDE cypher, and to see: Rapsody, Jon Connor, Action Bronson, Chocolate Drop and Astro spit.
• Kingd_760
Damn no freddie gibbs? He wouldve had the best verse…
• BET needs to take thousand sit downs for that 6th cypher
• Tired of stupid.
Fuck all these other rappers, Chocolate drop is king!!
• AirMagicMamba
Cypher 6 got the best lyricsts
• deeking
Agree with the gibbs comment other than that this should be a nice series of cyphers
• wat
Why do they need to sit down for the Real House Husbands cypher? It’s clearly purely comedy and promotion for the new season of the show. Just for the laughs, nothing seriously obviously. But otherwise I’m actually impressed with the lineups this year. I wasn’t sure what else they could do but they took the easy route with having groups have their own cyphers lol. That means they only had to actually put thought into only three cyphers. Good luck in 2014 though, BET! lol
• wat
Although I fuck with this year’s cyphers, it’s sad to see Freddie Gibbs, Asher Roth, Evidence, and Blu passed on for another year.
Plus this year should’ve had fresh faces like Logic, Dizzy Wright, Chance the Rapper, Vince Staples, Casey Veggies, etc.
One cypher that absolutely NEEDS to happen is a Roc cypher. Imagine how epic it’ll be with Jay-Z, Kanye West, J. Cole, Jay Electronica, and whatever member of the old Roc that’s still cool with Jay.
And lol, let’s not act like Odd Future doesn’t need a cypher. They’d all kill it. Refer to the song “Oldie”
The LOX need their own too.
And will someone please get a lineup that will make Nas finally do it!!!
Otherwise good shit this year, BET.
• JAyP
I would love to see all those Cyphers @wat
& LMAO cant wait to laugh at this nigga Kevin Hart man!
• wat
Word @JAyP. I hope someone from BET sees my comment lol
• Swaggerooni
TDE CYPHER IS GONNA BE LEGENDARY! We all know slaughterhouse is gonna shut shit down! The real house husbands of Hollywood cypher is gonna be pure comedy….as for the rest eh….
• Dutchboi
TDE & Slaughterhouse gonna kill it but A$AP Mob can defenitly spit so that’s gonna be dope too. Looks pretty good. I hope Travi$ Scott isn’t gonna imbarrass himself like he did with de XXL “Freestyle”.
• Jarvo
Kendrick is gonna make Drake cry again? Lol
But no way in hell BET have Odd Future on there at all lol
• hamza
wish a oddfutur cypher
• Synik
Travis Scott(don’t respect him enough to spell it correctly) is trash. This nigga is a producer-rapper. If he didn’t make beats, nobody would know who he is.
• steez
@Synik and they said the same thing about Kanye. now look. i know you saw the zane lowe interview lol
• J
No Gibbs no care
• CYPHER 5!
• someguy
holy shit – big wax!
• Armd
Gibbs has been blacklisted and booted from the industry too many damn times for BET to give dude that platform…which is a shame because he’s the best rapper out imo
• wat
Btw, A$AP Mob gave their cypher a hook lol
• who cares
I really only want to hear 4 & 5. Then I’ll check out Bronson’s contribution.
• Mac Dre
I hope A$AP Mob gets the Shook Ones beat too (rumor is TDE got it) and Ferg does his “Control” response verse that he did on Hot 97, but more cleaned up and on a national stage.
• Pope Shippy
Damn almost didn’t notice Wax on 1. That’s whatsup
• Other than the obvious 4 & 5 answers, #1 looks the best to me – although Action Bronson should lead off his grouping and I’ll stop watching before Kim makes her appearance.
• Da Spaniard
They need to do another one with Gibbs and King Los.
• SUP
They should have had a Beastcoast cypher with: Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, Flatbush Zombies and the Underachievers, and ofcourse some names are missing: Freddie Gibbs, Dizzy Wright, Earl Sweatshirt, Chuuwee, Vic Mensa, Chance The Rapper, Willie The Kid, ANTHM, Da$H, Tito Lopez ++
• dave
word beastcoast my nigga!! niggas played them smh. could of had them and flatbush zombies
• LA
• wat
No way A$AP Mob will get the same beat as TDE. TDE is on a whole ‘nother level. Refer to Shady 2.0 getting their own beat and MMG having the same beat as every other cypher. You get what you deserve.
• wat
@SUP: That’s way too large. A Pro Era one would’ve been cool but nobody else on Pro Era is even remotely close to being on so I understand BET not wasting their production money on a cypher for them. But I def agree about Gibbs, Dizzy, Chuuwee, and Chance. Earl and any other Odd Future member will probably never be in one because BET is probably scared of them being as vulgar as they always are.
@LA: You fool, they had their own cypher in 2010. Why do another?
• J.Y
Damn I was just saying how it would be dope if TDE had their own cypher this year, and they got Slaughterhouse too?? Im def looking forward to these (and the one Bronson’s in of course).
• J.Y
Oh and I agree, Gangsta Gibbs should’ve definitely been including this year, the man has been killin it.
• J.Y
• Da_Father
This is like a Spoof year for the BET Cyphers.. haha (except for the A$AP & Slaughter Crew)
• wat
^ You said except for A$AP Mob but not TDE? Wow, eat a dick lol
• Dre604
Logic, Chance, Dizzy, Gibbs, and Joey would have been dope. Those five could have done there own cypher which would have been dope. Maybe Dom Kennedy too
• i was hopin they woulda had a GBE cypher :(
• wat
^ The point of the cyphers is rapping lol
• wat
BET says Noreaga is in the cypher this year but not one line up I’ve seen has him in it. Guess someone BET made a mistake and listed him on their site.

Excuse me but real talk every year they get the most cheesiest people to do these chyphers and they don’t have no real spitters. Slaughter house is nice but Why in the hell is King LOS not on the chypher like real talk this is crazy.. Los is one of the newest gifted lyricist in this generation and he has presences.. BET made a mistake and left some other great lyricists off the chypher this year to.

Butcher Boy
A new band from Glasgow to enjoy: Butcher Boy. There are two songs on their myspace page so far - one fast, one slow. They're both wonderful.
(Thanks to Basil for the tip-off)
Here's their band bio:
Butcher Boy likes a world where evenings unfold from blue to pink to black to grey. Where cranes tug horizons. Where solemnity is a virtue. Where the height of civilization is resting your head in a loved one's lap.
Butcher Boy likes the precision of a scalpel and a metal rule. Butcher Boy finds October overrated, but concedes that it is definitely preferable to January. Butcher Boy would trade almost anything at any time to be standing by the flagpole in Queens Park as the light changes. Butcher Boy finds that nothing brings greater joy than dancing to favourite records. These records become part of Butcher Boy's world.
Butcher Boy welcomes growing old! Butcher Boy welcomes the quietness that it brings.
Butcher Boy likes dust.
Butcher Boy is very aware that voicing these things may be taken the wrong way. But Butcher Boy is fearful of the cool contempt of irony. And Butcher Boy digs the cafe culture.
There are situations you can engineer and better places to start. People framed in doorways. Silent Saturday evenings when the sun setting makes it seem as if the house is on fire. Closing your eyes and listening to the first Smiths record.
These are things that knock us to our knees.

} | 8,147 | "It's the only war we've got"
By: Glenn B. Knight
The M-14 rifle was loaded and hooked between my knees as I leaned against the outside wall of my first floor room in a semi-supine position. I wasn't really tired, I was excited and I was scared. The "Speedy" camera was wrapped up in my field jacket making a passable pillow. The little room off the main lobby of the Hotel Embajador was empty and safe even though random shots could be heard within yards of the window overlooking the cliff and the Caribbean Ocean. Rebel soldiers who had earlier in the day shot up the hotel as a machismo reaction to the civilians fleeing on the Marine helicopters at the nearby Polo Grounds were still in the area. Beads of sweat formed on my brow and I dozed, in the dark, throughout the night. Had I finished off the second bottle of El Presidente beer I would have slept soundly but I wanted to stay alert--people were actually being killed out there.
That morning had broken on the USS BOXER (LPH-4) much like any other on the aircraft carrier turned Landing Platform-Helicopter since we left Puerto Rican waters after Operation Quick Kick VII had ended. We were scheduled to head off to Panama for jungle training as part of a rather standard Second Marine Division "Caribbean Cruise". I was attached to Battalion Landing Team 3/6 (actually the 3rd Battalion (Reinforced) of the 6th Marine Regiment out of Camp Lejeune, N. C.). The Division Public Information Office was tasked to provide a Press Information Man (Military Occupational Specialty 4312) to each Caribbean and Mediterranean Cruise which generally consisted of a reinforced Marine battalion.
Because of the exercise that we had just participated in with elements of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, this BLT was even larger than normal and had been designated the 6th Marine Expeditionary Unit--Colonel George W. E. Daughtry (commander of the 6th Marines) was commander. A BLT would have been commanded by a lieutenant colonel.
Following the exercise and some small unit and marksmanship training at Camp Garcia on Vieques (where excitement was provided by squirting two-inch cockroaches with lighter fluid and setting them on fire), we had returned to our ships for the trip to Panama. April 24, 1965 a force of rebels, under the leadership of Colonel Camano, arrested the Dominican Republic's Army Chief of Staff and effectively overthrew the junta headed by Donald J. Reid Cabral. The Reid group was nominally in charge of the government but the rebels had taken over Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. On the 26th the American Ambassador asked for help in evacuating United States citizens and those of other friendly governments. Dazed, scared and confused civilians began boarding the BOXER from helicopters of HMM-264 (assigned from the Marine Corps Air Station at New River, N.C. as air support to the 6th MEU).
PFC N. B. Call, the other member of the Public Information Team for BLT 3/6, a photographer, began shooting and souping photos of the evacuees. He photographed them and I identified them and wrote photo captions to be shipped priority mail to the Division's media mailing list. That was about all that I could do because as a lance corporal--even though I was the senior Public Information Officer in the 6th MEU--I was not privy to the staff conferences and I didn't even have a secret clearance.
I was sent on this cruise because it was my turn. I had no idea what purpose the whole process served. I had been given no briefing on my responsibilities and I had no job description. My deployment kit consisted of a typewriter, five reams of paper, ten boxes of "carbon sets", pencils and about a half million Home Town News Release Forms.
The only thing I knew for sure is that my performance would be judged by the tear sheets that came in from Marine recruiters telling of local boys who were "deployed with BLT 3/6 in the Caribbean". I would entice as many Marines as I could into filling out the "Hometowners". I would then compile them (eliminating the ones with the obscenities and the ones where they had spelled their name wrong and the ones with no parents or unexplained multiple parents or one of the dozens of other disqualifying factors) and mail them to the Fleet Home Town News Center at Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Illinois. I would spend hours correcting forms or checking disqualifiers since the FHTNC at GLNTC would report back to the Public Information Officer at the Second Marine Division (the PIO at 2MarDiv) on my percentage of "clean forms". Each shipment included a two paragraph report on what the names on the forms were up to: "participated in Operation Quick Kick VII a joint Army-Navy-Marine Corps exercise in the Caribbean designed to prepare. . .", I'm sure you have seen them. The Navy Petty Officers and Marine NCOs at FHTNC (this is where people in my MOS must be sent in lieu of the Brig at Portsmouth) would then "write" stories about each form and send them to a pre-determined mailing list. Marine Recruiters were then charged to clip any that ended up in a newspaper and they eventually made it back to the "submitting organization". And thus, my performance was judged!!!
While I didn't know what my bosses back at Camp Lejeune expected of me, I did have a nose for news and I knew that this was a big story--I also knew that I would not be writing it. PFC Call, who spent most of his time in the photo lab and who, by the way did not work for me, didn't even seem to know that we were involved in a big story--he just shot, souped and shipped the photos to me in whatever quantity I requested. (Public Information, like most staff functions has always had to fight for its prerogatives and its position in the pecking order. Rather recently the head PIO at Headquarters Marine Corps had won a "contest" with the personnel types and it was firmly established that PIO was a "special staff" position reporting DIRECTLY to the commander. Call worked for the G-3 (Training) and I actually worked for Colonel Daughtry--'though I had never really talked with him).
For the first day or so I was involved with the evacuation. I had arranged for PFC Call to go ashore to the dock area where he got a shot of Marines and civilians carrying suitcases--I had heard there had been some shooting and that some of the companies had gone inland to provide additional security to the American Embassy. I was--to say the least--disappointed.
Eventually the evacuees were transferred to the USS FORT SNELLING (LSD-30), USS RALEIGH (LPD-1) or the USS WOOD COUNTY (LST-1178) and the Boxer took on a more war-like posture. Platoons of troops were herded on deck, into helicopters and off to a landing zone to do what they were trained to do. About that moment I realized that this was not a drill. These young men were going in harms way to do the job that the American people had hired them to do. I also began to realize that the action was ashore. I tried to get on a number of helicopters with the troops but was sent away by the loaders. Each chopper was "maxed out" with fully loaded Marines and their associated equipment--I would put them "over gross" and, by implication, cause them to crash into the sea. The loaders on the deck force were sailors and I wondered if I would have better luck if they were Marines like me (there was an undocumented historical report--read rumor--that when the LPHs were first added to the fleet there was an attempt to man them entirely with Marines but that failed because Marines just didn't make good bilge rats). And besides, none of the lieutenants or NCOs wanted to be responsible for a "feather merchant" tagging along with their unit. I really couldn't blame them.
For another day I wandered around the ship trying to find some purpose to my being there. The rumors kept mounting of action ashore, of an American Embassy under siege and of casualties (you know--like--dead Marines).
I checked with the deck crew and learned that I had to be on a manifest to get on an airplane so I went to the S-3 where the manifests were being made up and learned that I was not a high enough priority. They just didn't need a 4312 ashore at this moment. But I disagreed and tried to tell them that I was exactly what was needed at that time--no one listened to the arguments and protestations of a lance corporal. So I went to my boss and was given three minutes--I failed to convince him. But he did promise to take me ashore when things calmed down, since I was a member of his "special staff". Sleep would not be easy to come by as I had finally figured out what I was expected to do--I was expected to become a "Combat Correspondent".
Early in World War II, the Commandant of the Marine Corps was sold on the idea of Combat Correspondents who would flow freely in and around the combat zones. They were civilian newspaper reporters and photographers and Hollywood motion picture photographers and they were charged to chronicle the actions of the United States Marines. It worked so well that the Corps was often charged with hucksterism and those Combat Correspondents became icons in the Public Information business. It had also worked in Korea and another group of Combat Correspondents was born. Now, if I could just get on a helicopter, I was about to become the first real Combat Correspondent since Korea. I decided that I would tackle the colonel in the morning and make an appeal that just had to win.
The 1MC, the ship's primary communication network, barked, "Now hear this, reveille, reveille, reveille, all hands on deck, commence flight operations". I jumped out of the rack, ran to the head, showered, shaved and dressed in my best utility uniform. I then went to the photo lab where I talked PFC Call out of a three by five Speedgraphic camera and six 12-exposure photo packs. Then, back to my bunk where I unlocked my M-14. While I was sitting there trying to figure out how I was going to get bullets for my rifle the colonel's executive officer looked my way and yelled, "Private Knight, the old man wants to see you." In my Marine Corps career those words were never the prelude to anything pleasant. Now what the hell had I done?
"Look at this," said Colonel Daughtery, his Clark Gable mustache twitching and his eyes burning into my left ear. It was a copy of the Navy Times and one of Call's photos was on page one. "Thank you sir, I'm certain that PFC Call. . . ". He stopped me in mid sentence and continued, "Not the photo, read what it says," he continued on without waiting for me to finish reading, "my name is on the front page of Navy Times, and it's also on photos inside and I am even in some of the pictures inside." I was beginning to suspect that there was more to this than just an ego trip. "Can you spare a few minutes for some coffee corporal?" In shock I finally saluted and said, "Sir, yes sir!"
Our little talk was rather cryptic. Daugherty was commander of the 6th Marines, the most famous regiment in the division. The 6th Marines, along with the 5th Marines and the 10th Machine Gun Company were cited by the French government in The World War and awarded the Forregeirre (a mostly green, with red and gold flecks, rope worn around the left shoulder--most of us called it the Pogey-Bait Rope and that was usually just before the fight started in the slop chute--which is what we called the enlisted club). Commanding the 6th Marines was generally an honor for a colonel but I sensed that Daugherty felt he was nearing the end of his career and that only a miracle could get his name on the next promotion list to brigadier general. This action and mentions in Navy Times would certainly not hurt. He asked me if I could get him more press in the Times and I agreed that I could but that I had to do it from the shore where the fighting was going on. I needed a quick, unclassified briefing and a look at the "battlefield". My promise was simply that I would use his name as often as possible in my dispatches. He offered his helicopter (one of the new UH-1Es called a Huey, which would become famous later in Vietnam) and his pilot, a major, for the day. I accepted, we shook hands and I went out to meet my pilot.
I got him some extra press and things seemed to have worked out well but he never did get his star. I have always wondered about that.
Flying over the city it was easy to pick out the Polo Grounds and the Hotel Embajador right next to it. Further inland and to the east was the American Embassy and a few blocks further the Presidential Palace. South and east of the embassy was the University where some action had taken place just that day. We then flew east, across the Ozama River to the airport at San Isidro where we landed to find out what was going on.
An Air Force photographer (a master sergeant I believe), carrying the first "medium format" camera I had ever seen was standing on the tarmac waiting for a ride back to Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico where the Air Force was operating out of. He told me that he had been there for the landing of the 82nd Airborne Division and that they were mad as hell. They had been told that they would be making a combat jump and while they were in the air the order was changed so they landed at San Isidro like everyone else. They had walked west over the Duarte Bridge to link up with Marines manning what was then called the "line of communication" with the airport on one end and the Embajador on the other end.
Like a scene from a comic opera I looked across the field which was tangled with aircraft of every description moving in every direction while hundreds of soldiers, Marines and airmen, all in olive drab field uniforms, swarmed around trying to avoid both props and prop wash. In the middle of all of this was a lone Marine warrant officer in freshly starched khaki and mirror-like corfam shoes. Strapped to a duty belt were two pistols, their pearl handles gleaming in the mid-morning sun. He seemed attracted to the cameras and as he drew closer I recognized one of my bosses, Warrant Officer Fred Tucker, Assistant Public Information Officer for the Second Marine Division.
"Checking up on your trooper, Gunner?" I yelled as he came within ear-shot. Gunner is a term of respect accorded to warrant officers--on the other end of that respect continuum is the term lipstick lieutenant (Marine warrant officers wear gold or silver bars with stripes of red indicating the level of their warrant). To me, Fred Tucker was a gunner. I had never met Lieutenant General Louis B. "Chesty" Puller but his heroics (5 Navy Crosses) and his reputation as a warrior were then legend in the Corps. In boot camp we would end the day in our bunks with the lights out and before we were allowed to sleep we had to chant, in unison, "Good night General Puller wherever you are". I had always sort of thought of Fred Tucker as a "Chesty" Puller in training. But his outfit was truly out of place in this environment.
"Good to see you Knight, got the lay of the land yet?", Tucker queried.
"Yes sir, just took a flight over the town and I'm getting ready to head back to the embassy, want a ride." He seemed genuinely impressed with my helicopter and my pilot but he turned down the offer. "I want to see the battleground from the trooper's point of view, I'll catch a ride with the Army," he announced, "but look for me at the embassy in a couple of hours.
Fred Tucker epitomized the Marine word "Comshaw". It means getting what you need and want whether the Corps thinks you should have it or not. I saw Tucker at work soon after I got myself transferred from the Second Marine Division Chorus to the PIO (another story for another time). Major John J. O'Brien (one superior ass hole) was the Division PIO and one day he was arranging coverage of the division parade. It was to be the first time in a decade that the entire division would be on parade at the same time and he wanted to get a photograph of that gigantic formation. The two officers shared an office in the converted projection booth of the 8th Marines gym so he expressed his concern to the warrant officer (I was standing at the major's desk to get chewed out for screwing up again). Tucker said, "What you need, sir, is one of those'cherry picker' trucks." The major agreed and then told him to arrange it. As I was being "counseled" the gunner was on the phone and eventually spoke to the major, "Sir, there are only two of those trucks on the east coast, one is at Quantico but the other is here." "Handle it Mister Tucker", the major responded . A moment later Mr. Tucker interrupted again asking, "Sir, did you want that assigned to the office temporarily or permanently." The major was so taken aback that he forgot what he had me there for and dismissed me. Such was Fred Tucker's mystique.
Having seen the pistol-packin' man in brown on to an Army truck I headed to my helicopter to learn that he had been summoned back to Boxer for an emergency but he had arranged a ride for me on a troop helicopter heading for the Hotel Embajador. He was one of the few majors I ever met who I would give you more than a nickel for. It seems to me that a lobotomy is requisite for promotion to major but that it grows back by the time they make lieutenant colonel. (The other opinion is that it is the gold in the insignia that makes them idiots as the same is generally true of second lieutenants who also wear gold rank insignia). On the way there we crossed over the rebel held territory and took some small arms fire--nothing serious.
On landing at the Polo Grounds I made my way into the bar to try to find where the press was hanging out. I had learned that almost nothing had gotten out from the press since the whole shootin' match began but I did run into the Latin American Correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, an NBC talking head and the Leatherneck writer all at the bar lamenting the fact that they were about to run out of ice at the hotel since the ice plant was now in rebel hands. That was a serious concern as I was to learn a few days later that "El Presidente" tastes a lot better cold--although it was really a fine, full bodied brew.
The native manager of the hotel was a near basket case but I was able to impress upon him the importance of keeping the press happy--whatever it takes, and my need for a press center. He gave me two vacant offices just off the main lobby and treated me to a steak for lunch (the electric power was now off most of the time and the fresh foods were beginning to spoil--I guess he figured that if I am telling him of the importance of the press and I was to be sort of in charge of them that I must also be important--I didn't mind and the food was very good).
The driveway in front of the hotel runs for almost a half mile before running into the main highway and I had to get to the embassy. Since I didn't speak the language I couldn't figure out the bus routes and I couldn't negotiate for a taxi so I decided to walk to the road and catch a military vehicle. About half way out the drive I was overtaken by a cab and a native yelling at me in broken English, "Sar-hen-te, Sar-hen-te, stop for me por favor." He gave me his name (one of those Spanish John Smith's like Alehandro Jose Emborto Johnson sort of names) and explained that he was a stringer for the New York Times, that he had some dispatches to get out and would I help him. While telling him that I couldn't get my own copy out he said that he was going to break in to the R.C.A. communication building he needed someone to cover him and since I had a rifle I was a good candidate. For some reason I went with him and afterward he dropped me off two blocks from the embassy.
I was surprised by the embassy. I had expected a compound with high fences and security guards. What I found was a pension with an arboretum and a lot of Marines standing on a two-foot wall with rifles at the ready. Hundreds of others were milling around both on and off the grounds. I went inside and found a lobby which was lorded over by a Woman Marine gunnery sergeant--I learned that she was part of the embassy staff and for months after the expedition ended there was a lot of flack about a woman in a combat situation.
I'm really not sure why I went to the embassy, probably to find someone from the headquarters to report to and let them know that I was setting up a Press Center at the Embajador (where the media people were already congregating). I failed. No one seemed to be in charge and no one wanted to waste their time talking to a Marine lance corporal. Apparently the Headquarters Company leadership cadre was still back on board the BOXER. As I was leaving the compound I spotted a familiar figure among the sea of green. He was wearing Army fatigues, web belt, brand new boots and was sporting one of the new Mattel rifles being issued to the Army as an improvement over the M-14 that I was carrying. (the AR-16 was called a Mattel because it was being built, under contract to the Army, by a subsidiary of the Mattel Toy Company. It fired a lighter .223 cal. bullet that was supposed to be weighted so that it would tumble and hit an enemy with a ripping force--I never did understand how you could be accurate under those conditions).
The soldier in front of me was wearing second lieutenant's bars with a touch of red--Mr. Tucker, on his ride through the Army lines, managed to get himself fully outfitted, including a new rifle. "Hey, Corporal Knight, still got your helicopter?" he inquired as he headed toward me carrying his previous wardrobe in a brand new sea-bag (the Army called them duffel bags for some reason), and that included his pistols which I at first thought he had traded for the rifle. I answered, "No sir, I let the colonel use it for a while".
We traded the results of our reconnaissance and I asked if he would come to the Embajador and take over my fledgling press center. "No," he responded, "I'm going to have to stay under-ground for a day or so, the Assistant Division Commander back a Camp Lejeune had ordered me not to leave the camp. I sort of disobeyed orders." Tucker was a warrior, one of a breed that lives for war and he had not seen war in his career--there was no way he could miss what may be his only chance to do what he was bred to do. In explanation he said only, "It's not much of a war, but it's the only war we've got." There was no need to go further and the day was starting to get long.
I walked the few blocks to the Presidential Palace and then hopped a ride down the line of communication to where the 82nd Airborne had met the Marines earlier that day. In the area patrolled by the Marines they had selected front porches of the stucco houses as sort of command posts for their squad or fire team. They were mostly relaxed, here and there you could tell that the residents of the houses had washed the Marines' clothing and on other porches they were being fed by their native hosts. Infrequently a rebel sniper would take a pot shot in the direction of one of the squads and the squad leader would respond in kind, almost as a salute.
Entering the Army sector I found soldiers pressed against walls and peeking around corners, firing off half a clip of ammunition with each pull on the AR-16, now set on automatic. It was tense and, I thought, dangerous. There seemed to be no firing discipline among the airborne troopers. As I slid in and out of streets and allies I saw weapons and equipment laying everywhere--including a jeep with the motor running. There was absolutely no one in sight and I figured it was my duty to save the jeep from capture by the rebels (at least that is what I was planning to tell the first soldier who stopped me to reclaim the Army property). I wasn't stopped until I was well into the Marine area when a lieutenant flagged me down and asked for a ride to the embassy. His platoon had been in a fire fight at a nearby apartment building and battalion wanted to talk to him right away.
I dropped off the lieutenant and headed back to my offices at the Embajador. Parking my jeep in front of the hotel and fowling a rear wheel in a mass of chain I found in the back I headed in to the bar. The media people were back at the trough tired from a day of walking around town to find stories. The few taxies had all but vanished and rental cars were a foreign concept. Even the military vehicles were wary of picking up civilians. But they were glowing from the fact that they were able to get their dispatches out--some crazy Marine and a local stringer for the Times had broken in to the R.C.A. switch and the stringer was happily teletyping copy late into the day when some official showed up and tried to have the guy arrested (apparently his employer made a lot of noise and R.C.A. was forced to open up and serve their customers). I learned that the stringer later got a big bonus--the Marine went away with a memory and glorious anonymity.
When I announced at the bar that the 6th MEU Press Information Center was opening for business with one Marine Lance Corporal and one assigned jeep, there were cheers at the bar, cold El Presidente in front of me and endless transportation requests. Being broke and not wanting to push my luck with the manager I stumbled to the office and hand lettered a sign: "MARINE CORPS PRESS LIAISON OFFICE." I then laid down on the carpeted floor, wrapped my speedy in my jacket, tucked my rifle between my legs and had the best night's sleep in weeks--even the infrequent rifle shots off in the distance failed to wake me.
The next morning I found a typewriter and typed a dozen "media accredidations". They went something like:
The bearer, _________, representing ________________,
a recognized media outlet is hereby accredited to the
6th Marine Expeditionary Unit
and its sphere of operations. All officers and men of the 6th MEU are
directed to provide assistance so long as it does not compromise
their primary mission. The bearer is authorized
to operate military vehicles where necessary. Questions should be directed to
the office of Col. George W. E. Daughtry, Commander, 6th MEU.
It was signed in my illegible scrawl over the title "Public Affairs". I simply forgot to include my rank.
As I was leaving the hotel I handed one of the accredidations to the manager and told him that I needed a hundred of them that day. On my return they were stacked neatly on my new desk waiting to be issued. (About 75 were signed for legitimate media representatives--none of which have ever turned up anywhere--at least as far as I am aware).
My band of media reps were promised a ride to a drop off point and a description of the return route in late afternoon. If I passed them on the road I would stop and give them a ride. No other promises were made. I spent that first day driving around and shooting photos of Marines in action, of Marines relaxing on front porches and of Marines doing whatever Marines do in combat. I wrote identification captions and shipped them by helicopter to PFC N. B. Call on the Boxer. I also included stories to be shipped back to the PIO shop at Camp Lejeune. Some of the stories showed up in the Navy Times, Jacksonville Gazette, Camp Lejeune Globe and the Lititz Record Express (I had added my hometown newspaper to the media list and got front page play).
Just before sundown I went out to pick up my stragglers and found that none of them had been arrested (although one was questioned by a company commander when he was seen trying to steal a Marine jeep--I taught him that stealing from the Marines was not the proper thing to do). I also learned that my fleet had grown by three more Army jeeps (also saved from enemy capture and driven back by media representatives accredited to the 6th MEU on the strength of papers issued by "Public Information"). Fearing that I had created a monster I called a meeting of those accredited and suggested that four jeeps was enough to get anybody where they wanted to go and that we should not get greedy--after all, there was still this fighting and dying going on. The next day only one more Army jeep was added to my motor pool.
That same evening a real motor pool sergeant found me at the bar and made me an offer. If I would like, he would take my jeeps overnight and re-paint them in Marine olive drab (which was distinctly different from Army olive drab) complete with yellow Marine Corps numbers and unit identification reading "PIO". The cost was one case of El Presidente per jeep. I went to the bartender and signed for 10 cases of beer (I assume someone eventually got the bill but I ended up with jeeps that could not be traced and which looked very official).
It was past midnight when I finished my business at the bar and headed back to the office where I found a Navy ensign and a Marine first lieutenant waiting for me. The sober part of me realized that I had been caught but it was a good feeling that they had to send two officers to arrest me. I said nothing to them and as I began to unlock the door to the office they both stood up and handed me copies of their orders. They had been assigned to the Department of Defense Joint Information Bureau with duty at the Hotel Embajador.
The ensign took over my motor pool and levied Headquarters Company for some drivers. The lieutenant took me back to the bar--which was by now closed--and de-briefed me. As he was about to finish up some of the media people joined us with bottles of beer in tubs filled with ice. The lieutenant and I learned that these people had just come from a meeting with rebel commander Col. Camanio whose troops controlled the ice house. In return for a promise to simply consider the rebel side of all issues, the colonel promised ice and other favors for the newspaper people. There was never any slanting of stories requested, whether stories were ever slanted is an issue on which I am not qualified to judge.
By the time I woke up the next morning, three more officers had reported in, including a colonel--direct from the Pentagon. Over the next two days I was effectively replaced by two colonels, three lieutenant colonels, five majors and assorted company grades from all services (all that to replace just one Marine lance corporal--my drill instructor would say the ratio is about right).
That afternoon I was wandering about the hotel trying to avoid the growing staff of officers when the lieutenant who de-briefed me caught up to me and said, "The colonel wants to see you." There was that phrase again, the one that never preceded something good.
I was shown a message from The White House. President Lyndon B. Johnson was not happy with what he was seeing in the press and wanted pictures showing Marines and Soldiers helping out civilians and doing good deeds. The colonel was directed to get those pictures to the White House immediately. I volunteered to go out and shoot them with my "speedy" but the colonel told me that he already sent the JIB photographer to shoot 35mm film and that he would be back with the un-processed film soon. The colonel was impressed with what the lieutenant had told him about me and said he wanted me to make sure it got delivered to the White House. I was to hand it only to someone who gave me a special code word (I have no idea what that word was but I did remember it long enough to complete my mission). The colonel signed a short sheet of paper which named me as a White House Special Courier.
The lieutenant and I traded weapons. He was happy to have an M-14 with him when escorting media around the "international safety zone" and a .45 cal. pistol was a better weapon for a courier. A helicopter took me and my film to San Isidro Airport where I hopped an Air Force plane dead-heading to Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico. At Ramey I immediately started running up and down the tarmac trying to find a plane heading to Washington, D.C. or Andrews AFB, Maryland. I was run down by an Air Police truck who took me to a fighter plane on the far side of the field preparing to take off. The pilot gave me the code word and said that he would personally hand the package to the President within four hours--he didn't even know the contents and he assumed that I didn't know either.
The Air Policeman took me to the chow hall and then to the gymnasium which was serving as a 150-man dormitory. I fell asleep on a cot after I had showered and shaved (and put on the same grungy uniform I had been wearing for a week). The loaded pistol was tucked under my pillow and no one else took a cot closer than 10 feet from me. I was the first person any of them had ever seen fresh from a combat zone--and they all thought I was a psycho.
No Marine is ever prepared for breakfast at an Air Force base. China plates (not metal trays), civilian type tables and chairs (not 12-man tables and benches), a choice of entree and even "eggs cooked to order". The only uncomfortable thing was that everyone was staring at my loaded pistol hanging from my web belt.
After breakfast, on my way to the flight line, I passed the American Forces Radio and Television Service television station. It was staffed by people in the Air Force equivalent of my MOS and I was treated as an honored guest. I will never forget watching the Air Force sergeant deliver the morning news from behind a desk while wearing a white shirt and purple necktie under his Air Force blouse (I was told that since the image was black and white, the white and purple looked better). But what really shocked me was the fact that the announcer was wearing shorts since his legs were not visible on TV.
At base operations I was to learn that it was easier getting out of the Dominican Republic than it would be getting in. No one was sure of my priority and until that could be sorted out I would just have to wait--check back in mid-afternoon. To kill time I walked out on to the ramp and spotted a two-engine plane with Civil Air Patrol markings and two officers doing a pre-flight check. As a "retired" CAP cadet staff sergeant I approached the two and struck up a conversation during which I asked the range of the plane and if it could make it to the Dominican Republic. They allowed that it could and on seeing my "White House Special Courier" orders decided to fly me there in the CAP plane--after all, I was still a member of CAP.
I have no idea how close they came to getting the clearance and becoming the first CAP plane in a combat zone since the Coastal Patrol days of World War II. (CAP pilots would fly their single-engine, two-seat aircraft out over the Atlantic Ocean looking for enemy submarines. Eventually they carried 5 pound bombs and are credited with actually sinking two German U-boats.) All I know is that permission was denied and I ended up on another Air Force plane headed back to the island of Hispaniola.
The lieutenant met me at the airport on my return and we exchanged weapons. He thanked me for my service and then told me that I had to report to the Marine headquarters at the Hotel Hispaniola. It seems that I have been carried as missing in action for about four days. My first sergeant was hopping mad but the lieutenant did what he could to calm things down. The bottom line was that my freelancing days were over--the Corps wanted me back so they could chew my ass out.
The Hotel Hispaniola was down the hill from the Embajador and closer in to the center of the city. It was white and imposing but smaller than the Embajador and in more of an urban setting. As I approached the Marine headquarters I noticed that most of the uniforms were at least clean, if not pressed, that sleeves were rolled down and buttoned and that everyone's utility jacket was buttoned up to the neck. I passed a captain and got chewed out for my slovenly, unkempt and un-professional appearance. For the last five days I was more concerned with dodging bullets and doing my job and I was feeling quite good about it. The culture shock of a spit and polish headquarters unit was almost more than I could bear.
The first sergeant threatened to throw me in the brig for being AWOL but he said that Col. Daughtery and some bird colonel from the Pentagon had vouched for me and he was going to turn me over to the officer in charge of the PIO shop, a lipstick lieutenant from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point -- a God damned wing wiper. This was not going to get any easier. I was assigned to a room on the third or fourth floor facing north with a balcony overlooking a courtyard turned bivouac area. The grunts were in their tents and shelter-half lean-tos protecting the precious paper pushers from, well--actually, from-------what?
My roommate was Theo Anthony "Tony" Dorris a gangling six plus footer from Jackson, Tennessee. We were a lot like mirror images, about the same height and weight, same MOS, same rank, the only thing that really separated us was Tony's Tennessee drawl. We would go on to become lifetime friends, I would follow him to Parris Island where he would serve as the best man at my wedding and, as a wedding present, take the orders to Vietnam so that I wouldn't have to go. (I cursed him every night--"If anything happens to him on this tour it will be my fault and I will have to live with that the rest of my life. If he gets killed I'll dig him up and strangle him." or words to that effect. I didn't have to strangle him and he is now a successful investment banker in Memphis.)
The rooms were stifling hot and the only way to cool them off was to keep the doors open on both sides of the hallway to allow a breeze to pass between rooms. Tony said that the on the first day in the hotel doors would slam shut and everyone would hit the deck. This irritated the headquarters commandant, Lieutenant Colonel William "Wild Bill" Gately--reported to be one of only six active duty Marines who Chesty Puller called "a real Marine". Tony handed me a mimeographed copy of a headquarters memo which said, "Any Marine who can't control his door can't control his weapon (and) any Marine who allows his door to slam shut will face severe reprimand." Gately was also the man who issued the sleeves rolled down and buttons buttoned order that made the grunts snigger as a headquarters weenie walked by. I was beginning to doubt the Chesty Puller mystique if he could pick out this ass hole for personal commendation.
Maintaining the idiot image was the report on the arrival of the headquarters weenies. They flew down in an Air Force constellation--the one with the tricycle landing gear that caused the tail to stay up in the air, about 15 feet off the ground. As their airplane came to a stop on the tarmac the passenger door opened and a utility clad figure with a .45 cal. pistol in a shoulder harness and a Thompson machine gun held tight to his chest stood in the center of the door and jumped the 15 feet to the ground just before the stairs were rolled into place so that everyone else could disembark like real people. Gately was livid that no one had jumped out with him, rather they all waited for the stairs like a bunch of women.
Tony had just finished catching up when the lipstick lieutenant showed up to "welcome" me to the shop and tell me that Tony and I would be teaming up to do--you guessed it--hometowners.
Life at the Hotel Hispaniola turned quickly into garrison duty. We worked days (long days to be sure, but unmistakably a routine work schedule). Gone was the contact with the working press and the pressures of deadlines. When Tony and I were not going from Marine to Marine begging them to fill out a hometowner form we would find stories to write and submit to a typist. My "speedy" had been turned back in and I had to request photography from the photo lab. It was just like being back at Lejeune except that we had this crazy door-slam monitor running through the halls and every now and then the nighttime calm would be interrupted by a fire fight off in the distance.
Rumor had it that Fred Tucker and an NCO he had picked up as a working partner were so bored with the mundane schedule that they would slip out of the building at night and drive to the Army area, where they were still tense and would shoot at ghosts. They would fire a few bursts from their automatic weapons into the air and flee as the Army "returned" fire and the rebel forces did the same. I couldn't understand why Tucker had not been manacled and placed on a plane to stand tall in front of the Assistant Division Commander--but then he had that ability to skirt disaster.
The political and military situations developed into a holding type of duty as negotiations went on to normalize the uprising. My life got to be boring. I knew that there were some good stories still being written but I was neither writing them nor was I involved with the reporters and photographers that were making names for themselves. I was a hometowner expert condemned to walking through the Marine held areas coercing cocky combat veterans into filling out a stupid form.
On one such excursion Tony and I walked into the area of India Company which was on the line of communication living with the families along that main street. We mingled with local citizens and we walked around the armored personnel carrier that was forming a checkpoint along the line. The second lieutenant who was commanding one of the platoons maneuvered us up against a concrete wall where all of his men were filling out hometowners for us. It was a good thing too since it was almost 5 p.m., time to head back to the hotel, and we were behind in our quota for the day (for some reason filling out one of our forms was not a priority for troops on the line).
As Tony and I gathered in the sheaf of forms and did a "field check" of them to eliminate the obviously bad ones, the troops sort of slowly disappeared until the two of us were standing alone at the end of a road, up against a six foot concrete wall. At the other end of the street was a radio tower located well within the rebel held territory. At exactly 5 p.m. we both felt instantly alone and "pow" something slammed into the concrete behind us. That was followed by the sound of a large weapon and we realized that we had both survived a rifle shot.
I bounded up and over the wall. Tony had run a half block down the street, turned and was waiting for me on the other side when I landed. India Company had apparently struck up a sort of friendship with a rebel marksman who would climb the tower and fire one round each day at 5 p.m. They had come to realize that he was a good marksman and that he always fired to avoid hitting anyone. We had been their sacrificial lambs and the roar of laughter from the nearby troops was a worthy way to end the day. They helped us to pick up our forms and even added to the take for the day--it only took a month or so for us to appreciate their humor.
After a day of work on the front lines we would return to the hotel for food in the hotel restaurant, a couple of hours in and around the pool and a relaxing evening sitting on our balcony writing letters home, watching the infantry troops heating up their c-rations and listening to the cacophony of the army contingent shooting at ghosts on the other side of town.
Life was tense but it was also relaxing and, at times, boring. After nearly a month I was experiencing headaches and my vision was quickly becoming worse. I couldn't read because of all of the "floaters" that had developed, from the dryness and from the pain that was either from my eyes or was a major headache. The corpsmen at sick call couldn't diagnose it. The doctors were stumped, but they were concerned. Within a matter of hours I was packed, transported to the airport and on my way to the states.
The plane landed at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina which is next to Fort Bragg, the home of the 82nd Airborne, which was deployed to the Dominican Republic. It was about 10 p.m. and we were the last load to arrive for the night. U. S. Customs agents went through our baggage and all was well until they opened my sea bag and found three 20 round clips for my M-14, all fully loaded. An alert was sounded, pistols were drawn, we were ordered to hit the deck and truck loads of Air Policemen came out of thin air.
The captain took my bullets, gave me a receipt and then realized that the Greyhound Bus Company would probably not let me on a bus with an M-14 rifle. He arranged a staff car and had me delivered to the U. S. Naval Hospital at Camp Lejeune, N. C.
My problem was diagnosed as "acute choreoretinitis" a disease of the eye that would eventually make me blind in one eye. I had apparently picked it up in the Canary Islands that previous summer when my ship stopped there on the way back from a division exercise in southern Spain.
The operation in the Dominican Republic lasted another month or so and eventually the Organization of American States got involved and some Brizilian general took command. I was glad to be "home" even if it was a ward in a Navy Hospital. I had my little war and it would turn out to be my last.

} | 510 | Owed $170M by AC, Borgata skipping $7.2M tax payment
EMBED </>More News Videos
By most accounts, the Borgata has been Atlantic City's golden goose, providing the most jobs and tax revenue in the seaside gambling resort. (WPVI)
By most accounts, the Borgata has been Atlantic City's golden goose, providing the most jobs and tax revenue in the seaside gambling resort.
It's even wrapped in gold-tinted glass that bathes the surrounding neighborhood in a golden glow when the sun hits it just right.
But the goose isn't laying any more golden eggs anytime soon.
The Borgata is refusing to make a $7.2 million tax payment due Wednesday; it is owed more than $170 million in tax appeals it has won from Atlantic City, and the city says it can't pay that much.
Last week, a judge allowed the Borgata to stop making tax payments while both sides explore a settlement. The court reaffirmed the city's obligation to pay $62.5 million in payments for tax years 2009-10.
In addition to that debt, the Borgata reached a settlement with the city for tax years 2011-14 of $88.25 million, which was supposed to be paid by Dec. 31, 2014. It was not, and both sides continued to talk, but no agreement was reached.
The $170 million figure includes interest. The failure of the city to meet the 2014 deadline enabled the Borgata to reinstate its tax appeals for those four years.
Mayor Don Guardian says the city is in danger of running out of money and declaring bankruptcy. He said last week that having the Borgata skip the tax payment due Wednesday would be "devastating."
Borgata executives declined comment Wednesday; last week they said they have tried to reach an agreement with the city, which they accused of failing to bargain seriously.
The Borgata is not the only large taxpayer to successfully challenge its tax assessments as the Atlantic City casino market continues to shrink, falling from $5.2 billion in 2006 to $2.56 billion last year. The casinos - and individual home and business owners, as well - are often able to convince a tax court that their properties are worth less than the city says they are, and as a result, they win a reduction of their assessment.
That has blown a big hole in the city's budget in recent years, forcing city officials to scramble to replace the lost money.
Since it opened in 2003, the Borgata has dominated the Atlantic City casino market. It routinely takes in the most money from gamblers, sometimes by nearly twice as much as its closest competitor.
It is also the largest casino employer; its 5,803 jobs as of Feb. 2 represent nearly 25 percent of all casino jobs in Atlantic City.
The Borgata has paid nearly a half-billion dollars in taxes since it opened, helping to fund a city government that's now under fire from state officials who intend to take control of the city's finances, citing years of overspending and mismanagement.
It also routinely reinvests tens of millions of dollars back into its properties.

lamphun-wat phra that hariphunchai-01
ited in mid-town, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai was built during the reign of King Arthitayarat, a descendant of Queen Chamthewi some 800 years ago.A principal landmark is the 46-metre tall golden Chedi which contains a hair of the Lord Buddha, having nine-tiered umbrella, made of gold weighing approximately 6,498.75 grams...
Chiang Rai
on the bank of the Kok River within town area, contains what is believed to be the oldest Holy Relic even before King Mengrai built Chiang Rai. Doi Chom Thong has been a sacred site for aextremely long time. The site was surely reverenced as the home of local spirits before Buddhism arrived in the area.

Can There Be A Decent Decent Left?
We had a bit of a dustup in comments a while ago about American academic Michael Bérubé, whether he was Decent or not and whether Crooked Timber was going right down the tubes now that he's joined it. Well, here, he enters the lists, defending himself against charges of out-and-out Decency, while staking out a position clearly critical of the majority of the Indecent Left. Can there be a pro-intervention Left which isn't Decent? See what you think.
Blogger ejh said...
Still none too picky about throwing mud though, is he?

Anonymous Chris Baldwin said...
Bérubé knows that while there are some idiots on the left, most of us are reasonable people who aren't succumbing to some moral cancer. Ergo, he's not a Decent.
3/26/2007 10:55:00 PM
Blogger ejh said...
He's not a Decent, but (this being my first encounter with him) he didn't strike me as being wholly intellectually scrupulous either. He also appeared to suffer from what I consider to be a major affliction among American (and other) liberals* which is believing that voices to the left of them should shut up. I don't much care for this.
If, however, Alexander Cockburn has misrepresented him, then of course he should say so and be entitled to an answer.

"Pro-intervention" strikes me as unfair, since it suggests "pro-Iraq intervention," and Berube specifically says that he (and Ken Roth, Samantha Power, etc.) were against the Iraq war from the get-go. Maybe "pro-some interventions" would be better, since Berube (and Roth Power etc.) favored intervening in Kosovo but not Iraq.
3/27/2007 01:24:00 PM

I suppose might respond with some fairness that "pro-intervention" is not much less unfair than "sovereignty left."

AFAIK, Berube was aginst the Iraq war because of who was prosecuting it. However, like Todd Gitlin, a certain economics professor and others - he spends an awful lot of time attacking people like Chomsky et al. Some of these attacks may be justified, however others aren't really in good faith. On the other hand, Cockburn isn't exactly known for fighting fair...

Some Indecents could say the same thing.
BTW I'm not sure of the terminology here, but in the US it's not clear that Berube is really criticizing the majority of the non-Decent Left. I'd say that his position, pro-Afghanistan anti-Iraq and maybe even pro-Kosovo interventions is a pretty mainstream position if not the majority Democratic position . That might be me projecting my views though.

Has anyone worked up the courage to tune in to "Christopher Hitchens and Nick Cohen discussing slavery, revolution and the future of the Left" over at The Times? Danny Finkelstein really does have a hard-on for the Decents. I suppose they're probably preferable to the batshit insane rantings of Gerard Baker.

But Proyect doesn't actually deal with the question of whether Cockburn has (wilfully or otherwise) misrepresented Berubés position, which given that this was the whole point of Berubé's piece, might at least be worthy of some comment, no?
I have to say that Berubé comes across to me as somebody absolutely full of himself.

On Cohen / Hitchens talk at Oxford Literary Festival (it was billed as a debate, but obviously it wasn't):
Nick presented choice excerpts from his book. There wasn't much by way of his 'analysis' (e.g. the corrupting influence of post-modernism in the universities) though he rather sotto voce waved at the decline of socialism as an ideal. He wanted to press the idea that it's not just the ultra-left who love Islamicist theocrats. He mentioned Question Time (Piers Morgan laughing at the demise of democracy in Iraq, some lady in the audience remarking that by right - given US arming of the mujahideen - the USAF should have bombed the US after 9.11), and that Livingston conference on the Clash of Cultures. Approving remarks re Labour ministers, Martin Amis, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Overall, rather low-key.
Hitchens - some ingratiatingly roué jokes about his return to Oxford, also his customary olde-worlde delivery (everybody is 'Mr.' - Mr Jefferson, Mr Lincoln etc). His talk about Jefferson highlights the US Revolution as the only revolution 'left standing'. Its particular contribution is the separation of Church and State. The US suppression of the Barbary Pirates was, in fact, war on Koranic fundamentalism. Anti-Islamism a foundation-stone of the modern world. The US remains the only revolutionary hope and the only model (he hesitated, but still included the free market in this model). He ended with invective against the Royals, and a rousing condemnation of religion, as ever.
Predictably enough, Hitchens' delivery was much more sparkly than Nick's, though Nick's was lucid enough in a Donnish kind of way.
'The Dude' didn't mention Iraq at all. Nick mentioned it only in passing. I'm not sure that it would have been worth 8 quid 9the entry fee) of anyone's money.

"Approving remarks re Labour ministers, Martin Amis"
Did they have a good group chuckle over Amis's
"There’s a definite urge—don’t you have it?—to say, “The Muslim community will have to suffer until it gets its house in order.” What sort of suffering? Not letting them travel. Deportation—further down the road. Curtailing of freedoms. Strip-searching people who look like they’re from the Middle East or from Pakistan. . . . Discriminatory stuff, until it hurts the whole community and they start getting tough with their children" ?

He certainly did on Max Sawicky's site. Incidentally, he seems to carry out a similar policing function on academics who sees as to outre.

Michael Berube is a sorry example of the warping effect an extended exposure to David Horowitz can have on a moderately promising liberal mind. In the Crooked Timber post and subsequent comments he didn't seem interested in seriously trying to defend his position, he just wanted to hurl muck at people, with the result that he wound up coming across, to me at least, as something of a lightweight.

Who needs the "aopologies" of these poxy armchair warriors anyway?
They seem to actually think that they're to be taken seriously.
Ultimately, it's that they can't abide being wrong and proved wrong about the Iraq fiasco. Perhaps, deep down they are Bush loving muslim hating capitalist supporting to*sers, but maybe they genuinely were taken in by all the propaganda. If they were, then their status as epistemological seers and metaphysical guides to us commoners looks more like the man at the end of the Wizard of Oz. So the "apology" debate is just a sideshow. Why listen to another word they say? All that Geras stuff about "not being able to predict the future" truth "isn't one big thing" is just a smokescreen of fuzzout academic whingeing. But I suppose if we didn't listen to another word they say, there wouldn't be any need for a site like this hmmmm. I suppose you have to say that the fact they carry on actually writing, theur breathtaking cheek, I suppose, is itself a profound political symbol of the rotting corpse of political democracy in which we are living in.

} | 289 | Students without booster shots face suspension
September 23, 2008 1:00:02 PM PDT
A new state law could keep thousands of North Carolina sixth graders out of school. Students have one day to get caught up on their immunizations.
More than 2,000 Triangle sixth graders need to get a newly required vaccination by the end of today. Triangle schools are holding a last minute round of health clinics to help students get the shot before the risk of suspension from school.
According to the law, any student entering grade six after August 1, 2008, must get a booster shot if they haven't had one in the past five years.
Those who don't get their booster or show proof of having had one will be barred from attending school Wednesday.
Nineteen of 20 Wake County traditional calendar middle schools will offer shots Tuesday morning. Wake officials estimate 1,500 students will need the shot.
West Millbrook is one of many schools offering immunizations. Wake County Human Services will host free clinics at 17 out of 20 Wake County schools Tuesday.
At West Millbrook Middle School, there are approximately 50 students who have not received their booster shot. Students will be allowed to remain in school today, but if they do not get their shot today or show proof they've had the shot, they could face suspension.
Wake County Human Services is offering an additional immunization clinic for Wake County students who still need to get the vaccine to stay in school on Wednesday, September 24.
The clinic is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Wake County Commons Building, 4011 Carya Drive, Raleigh.
No appointments are needed for this clinic and there is no charge for the vaccination.

Toys 'R' Us trade-in promotion pushes safety
January 30, 2010 12:10:23 AM PST
It's kind of like Cash for Clunkers, except these wheels are for kids, and it's not about saving gas, but possibly lives. For the second year in a row, Toys "R" Us is offering a trade-in program for old strollers, car seats and other items."I think it's great. I think it gives me an opportunity to actually get a job stroller that would most likely work for me," said customer Margaret Fortmeier.
The deal is simple: Bring in your old product and get a coupon for 25 percent off a new item.
"We traded in the old bulky stuff and got our coupon," said customer Laurie Hamilton.
Toys "R" Us get a sale, and customers get a newer and safer product.
"We're trying to get any unsafe items back into the store. We're going to dispose of them. There's a lot of outdated items that don't fall in line with the safety standards," said Dave Williams from Toys "R" Us.
The promotion does apply to most brands, but there are some exceptions. Anyone interested in bringing their old merchandise should check with Toys "R" Us. The brands covered are listed on the store's ads and on the company Web site.
The trade-in is not just for strollers and car seats. Williams said the promotion also includes any travel system, play yard, toddler bed, bassinet or high chair.
In these tough times, it's the kind of deal many plan to take advantage of, to save money and to make their kids safer.
"It's 25 percent off, I mean, it's a lot for (the) times right now," said customer Marion Hernandez.
The trade-in program lasts until Feb. 20.

Soldier's attorney claims government 'hiding evidence'
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 38, is seen in this undated photo. Military officials suspect Bales shot 16 Afghan civilians and set some of them on fire. Nine of the victims killed were children.
March 30, 2012 12:00:00 AM PDT
The attorney for the accused soldier in the murders of 17 Afghan civilians says the government is hiding evidence in the case.
Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder. The military says he left his base in southern Afghanistan and went on a nighttime shooting rampage through two villages on March 11. Nine of the dead were children.
The disagreement over access to the evidence and help in getting interviews with witnesses in Afghanistan highlights the differences between military and civilian proceedings.
For one, military legal procedures don't require prosecutors to turn over certain information to the defense until several weeks before a preliminary hearing. And at this point, Bales' attorney, John Henry Browne, said there is no judge to complain to, as he would in a civilian trial.
"It's outrageous. What they are basically doing is hiding evidence," said Browne, adding that he now questions the strength of the military evidence since prosecutors are not sharing it.
Maj. Chris Ophardt, an Army spokesman, said in a statement that the prosecution will provide Bales' defense with evidence in accordance with court martial and military rules of evidence. Within these guidelines, Ophardt said, "the prosecution is and has been communicating with the defense."
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, after speaking to hundreds of Marines and sailors aboard the USS Peleliu off the San Diego coast, told reporters that he has made it clear that Bales should get "whatever information he would be entitled to under the military code of justice."
The defense team said in a statement that its members attempted to interview injured civilians being treated at a hospital in Kandahar, but were denied access and told to coordinate with prosecutors.
The prosecution team interviewed the civilians, but the defense team said they were unable to after the people were released and no contact information was provided for them. The defense team said prosecutors are withholding information "while potential witnesses scatter."
Browne's team also said they have been denied access to the civilians' medical records, as well as video allegedly taken from a surveillance blimp showing Bales on the night of the killings.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

OTRC: Zachary Quinto reacts to 'rumors' of quitting 'Star Trek': 'Simmer down'
Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto appear in a scene from the 2009 movie 'Star Trek.' (Paramount Pictures)
Is Zachary Quinto going to quit the "Star Trek' movie series after the second film? He recently addressed what he called "rumors" and told fans to "simmer down."
EW quoted the 35-year-old actor as saying in a recent interview that he is ready to "go in a different direction" with his career after the second film in J. J. Abrams' movie series, "Star Trek Into Darkness," hits theaters on May 17, 2013.
Quinto made his debut as Spock, a pointy-eared half-Vulcan, half-human Starfleet Academy member, in the 2009 film "Star Trek." He previously played the serial killer Sylar on the NBC show "Heroes" and currently stars on FX's "American Horror Story" as the psychotherapist Dr. Oliver Thredson.
EW had quoted him as saying in the interview: "It's like an era of association with certain roles -- a specific part like Spock, or a kind of part, like Sylar -- is coming to an end. I think it's safe to say this will be the last serial killer I'll be playing for the foreseeable future."
He later took to Twitter to clarify his remarks.
"Simmer down kids," Quinto Tweeted to his some 575,000 followers. "Rumors are rumors for a reason. quotes out of context. let's let the second movie come out before we talk about a third... (sic)."
Fans can catch a sneak peek of first nine minutes from "Star Trek Into Darkness" at some 500 IMAX 3D theaters around the world, beginning on December 14. One of the films expected to screened after such an extended preview is the highly-anticipated "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," which will be released on that date.
The second "Star Trek" film in Abrams' series also sees Chris Pine reprising his role as Quinto's character's frenemy-turned-friend, James T. Kirk, and also features the return of Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Anton Yelchin as Chekov and Karl Urban as Bones.
New actors include actress Alice Eve of "Sex and the City 2" and "Entourage," British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the villain, and RoboCop" star Peter Weller, who portrays a "CEO," according to EW.

} | 750 | Bears fall to Vikings, Cutler injured again
Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, center, reacts as he sits on the bench after getting injured during the second half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Andy King)
December 9, 2012 1:43:49 PM PST
Adrian Peterson has his sights set squarely on 2,000 yards. Thanks to his latest jaw-dropping performance and an opportunistic defense, the Minnesota Vikings still have their eyes on the playoffs.
Peterson rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns and Harrison Smith returned an interception for a score to lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 21-14 victory over the free-falling Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Peterson topped 100 yards before the first quarter was over, helping the Vikings (7-6) overcome another lackluster day from quarterback Christian Ponder to get a victory that will keep their playoff hopes alive.
Jay Cutler was 22 for 44 for 260 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions and couldn't finish the game for the Bears (8-5), who have lost four of their last five. He took a wicked hit to the head from Everson Griffen in the fourth quarter, remained in the game for the rest of that drive, but was replaced by Jason Campbell with 3 minutes to play.
There was no immediate word on Cutler's health, and Campbell threw a 16-yard TD to Brandon Marshall with 1:48 to play, but Kyle Rudolph recovered the onside kick to seal the victory.
Marshall had 10 catches for 160 yards, but Chicago's struggling offense couldn't do enough to overcome the two turnovers and Peterson's relentless effort.
Peterson's remarkable comeback from a torn ACL late last season seems to get more impressive every week. Not even a year removed from that major injury in Washington, he broke the 100-yard mark for the seventh straight game. He has 1,600 yards with three games to play, putting a hallowed 2,000-yard season within reach. He ran for 51 yards on the opening play of the game and continued to gash the broken-down Bears the rest of the way.
No one was happier to see it than Ponder, who continued to look skittish in the pocket and out of whack with his mechanics. He finished 11 of 17 for 91 yards, including an ugly interception off his back foot late in the first half.
For once, his performance didn't doom the Vikings.
Vikings fans trudged through a snow storm to get to the Metrodome, and they were ornery and ready to give Ponder all the grief they could. They booed him in pregame introductions, then Peterson touched the ball on five of six plays in the opening drive. He also ripped off a 16-yard run and finished it with a 1-yard TD.
Josh Robinson intercepted Cutler on the next possession, returning the ball to the Chicago 5 to set up Peterson's second touchdown. The Vikings were off and running, exactly what they were hoping to do.
Cutler responded, hitting Alshon Jeffery with a 23-yard TD pass that got a healthy contingent of Chicago fans chanting "Let's Go Bears!'"
Just as the Bears appeared to seize momentum, Cutler floated a pass over Marshall's head right into the arms of Smith, who headed down the Chicago sideline for a 56-yard touchdown late in the third quarter and a 21-7 lead.
The Vikings haven't made big plays in the passing game ever since Percy Harvin was lost for the season with a severely sprained left ankle against Seattle on Nov. 4. They finally did it Sunday, but it was the defense that made it happen.
Robinson and Smith combined for 100 return yards, more than the Vikings' passing game had through the air.
Now the Bears must try to hold off another December malaise under coach Lovie Smith. They started 7-1, but Smith tried to ratchet up the intensity this week, saying the Bears had to win out to get into the playoffs.
Cornerback Tim Jennings was out with an injured shoulder and linebacker Brian Urlacher, the man in the middle of the proud veteran defense, could be out for the rest of the season with an injured hamstring. Defensive tackle Henry Melton hurt his shoulder in the first half and kicker Robbie Gould was limited by a strained left calf that he suffered in pregame warm-ups.
Through six games, the Bears gave up an average of 71 yards rushing. But they had given up 136 yards per game on the ground in the previous six games.

} | 277 | Zeta-Jones bipolar disorder leads to check-in at treatment center
April 30, 2013 6:11:39 AM PDT
A spokeswoman for Catherine Zeta-Jones says the actress has ''proactively'' checked into a mental health facility for treatment of her bipolar condition.
Publicist Sarah Fuller said in an email to The Associated Press late Monday that Zeta-Jones "is committed to periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner."
Two years ago, the 43-year-old Oscar-winner checked into a similar facility for a brief stay for treatment of her condition, known as Bipolar II. She reportedly previously checked into a facility in 2011 for 30 days. The disorder is characterized by mood swings and depressive episodes, and is commonly treated with medication and psychotherapy.
Zeta-Jones has been one of the busiest talents in show business of late, appearing in such films as "Rock of Ages," ''Playing for Keeps," ''Broken City" and "Side Effects."
The actress's most recent treatment was first reported by TMZ.
Last December Zeta-Jones spoke to ABC about her apprehensions on speaking out publicly
"I never wanted to be the poster child for this," she said. "And I never wanted this to come out publicly. It came out. And so I dealt with it in the best way I could, and that was just saying that, 'Look, hey, I'm bipolar."
Doctors say stress can be a trigger for bipolar disorder. And Zeta-Jones has been busy, promoting two films this year alone, along with performing a high-profile song and dance at this year's Oscars
"Even though stress can be a factor, it's been reported that Catherine Zeta-Jones had always scheduled this time to return to treatment because she's between projects and it's convenient," said Lesley Messer, Yahoo.

} | 596 | Taliban: 'We're Too Busy in Afghanistan' to Work with Pakistan
The son of the most notorious mujahedeen-turned Taliban military leader is denying the CIA's claim that the Pakistani intelligence agency is working with the Taliban to destabilize Afghanistan.
"Afghan mujahedeen are so busy in their war against the westerners, that they don't have the time or the need to go to Pakistan. If we ever needed or hoped for the government's cooperation, then we would have done this. We have neither the hope nor the need," Sirajuddin Haqqani, the son of Taliban commander Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqqani, told ABC News in an interview.
"We in Afghanistan, by the grace of God, don't need them. Our needs in Afghanistan are fulfilled. We are self-sufficient in Afghanistan," the younger Haqqani told ABC News consultant Rahimullah Yusufzai in Khost, Afghanistan, just across the border from Pakistan.
The Haqqani network is one of the most notorious of the militant groups that the U.S. believes is attacking forces in Afghanistan. Haqqani himself was one of the CIA's favorite mujahedeen leaders during the war with the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, at one point capturing Khost, the city where the interview with his son took place.
Today, officials say his network is behind some of the largest attacks in Afghanistan in the last year, including the storming of the Serena Hotel and an assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The networks, U.S. officials believe, give the Taliban more resources and greater sophistication in their targeting of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
Sirajuddin Haqqani echoed those fears in the interview.
"It's beyond count," he said when asked how many fighters were loyal to him and his father. "Now tribes have arisen. When we tell them we want 1,000 people, they send 1,000 people. When we ask for 100, they send 100. Now, it's beyond count. It's on a big scale."
But despite those resources, he claimed there is no Taliban campaign being waged in Pakistan. "Our brothers mujahedeen in Pakistan, we have a spiritual relationship with them. But we do not interfere in their internal affairs. Our policy is clear. All our attention is on Afghanistan."
Earlier this month C.I.A. official Stephen Kappes traveled to Islamabad to confront the government with new information that the U.S. says links Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence to militant groups -- including the one that the Haqqanis run -- operating on both sides of the border. His trip was first reported by "The New York Times".
The U.S. -- not to mention Afghanistan and India -- has been increasingly vocal about the Taliban in Pakistan launching attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan. More soldiers are dying in Afghanistan than in Iraq, and the number of attacks on NATO forces increased by 40 percent over the last year in the region east of Kabul. The U.S. thinks the Pakistan government's attempts to make peace with militants in the Northwest Frontier Province are endangering U.S. soldiers' lives.
But it's new that the U.S. is pointing its finger at the Pakistani I.S.I., so powerful it's often referred to as a "state within a state."
Even President Bush reportedly raised the spy agency with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani during their White House meeting on Monday, according to Pakistan's Defense Minister, who told reporters in Islamabad today that Bush questioned whether the spy agency was leaking information to terrorists before U.S. attacks.
"We know the Pakistani intelligence service is in some cases in bed with these groups," Bruce Reidel of the Brookings Institution told ABC News' Jonathan Karl, "or at a minimum turning a blind eye to their activities."

} | 1,266 | Silicon Insider: How The New York Times Fell Apart
Boom! And down goes the biggest newspaper name of all.
As you may have read, yesterday brokerage giant Morgan Stanley dumped its entire stake -- $183 million worth -- in the New York Times, in which it was the second largest shareholder. Not surprisingly, Times stock immediately slumped, bottoming at a nearly 3 percent drop to $18.28 -- the lowest it has been in a decade.
The actual damage is probably even larger than that. The Morgan Stanley sell-off has been expected for some time now. Ever since April, after Hassam Elmasry, managing director of Morgan's Investment Management Group failed in his attempt to challenge the Sulzberger family's iron grip on the Times, the market has been expecting Morgan to pull out -- and it is probably no coincidence that the stock has been in downward slide ever since.
On the surface, this appears to be a battle about power. The Sulzbergers have run the Times for several generations -- long enough to be synonymous with the enterprise. But, despite having the family scion, Arthur "Pinch" Sulzberger Jr. running the business, time (and the need for capital) have reduced the family's control -- and allowed in less sympathetic investors like Elmasry and Morgan.
It was in an effort to shore up that slipping control that the Sulzberger's created a "dual-class" stock structure for the Times, which gave the family super-voting over and above the hoi polloi of mere investors. The second, unstated, reason for this unusual financial structure was to protect the position of "Pinch" Sulzberger, whose leadership has been increasingly under fire.
But speaking as a technologist and a veteran journalist (and someone who once wrote for the Times), I think there are even deeper levels to this story -- those dealing with the often foolish choices entrenched companies make in the face of technological revolutions.
Over the last few years, we've seen a number of newspapers find themselves in deep financial distress as they've failed to deal effectively with the challenge posed by Cable News and the Internet, and particularly (on the editorial side) the blogosphere and (on the business side) Craigslist, Google, and eBay. Here in Silicon Valley, the two major newspapers, the San Jose Mercury-News and the San Francisco Chronicle, are shadows of their former selves, the former even been dumped in a humiliating fire sale.
But when B-school students a half-century from now read the case study about the 'death' of newspapers, it will be the New York Times they read about.
As hard as may be for younger readers of this column to believe, twenty years ago, the New York Times was unquestionably the newspaper of record for the United States and (with the London Times) for much of the rest of the world. It had the most famous reporters and columnists, its coverage set the standard for all other news, and its opinions, delivered ex cathedra from the upper floors of the Gray Lady on 43rd Street set the topics of this country's political debate.
Incredibly, almost every bit of that power has been squandered over the last two decades. It's been a long time since anyone considered the Times to be anything but the newspaper of opinion for anyone but the residents of a few square miles of midtown Manhattan. Indeed, about all the newspaper has left of the old days under "Pinch's" dad, Arthur "Punch" Sulzberger, is that old Time's imperiousness -- earned back then, and more than a little absurd today.
Would this decline in reputation have occurred without the rise of the Internet? To some degree, yes. You can mark the turn in the Times' reputation from the early 1990s, when it began to put, on the front page, an increasing number of opinion pieces and feature reporting (most infamously, a glimpse into the apartment of William Kennedy Smith's purported rape victim).
At first, this was dismissed as a mere pandering to the changing tastes of a readership raised on television and gonzo reporting. But it was a first glimpse of the pandering to a supposedly hipper, more sophisticated audience that would become pandemic across the Times' pages under the threat of the Internet age.
At about the same time, I got an early glimpse of how the Times would mishandle the technology side of its business as well. One day, several years after I'd stopped writing my column for the paper, I received a letter from the Times demanding that I retroactively sign over all electronic rights to my stories and columns on file at the newspaper.
As a businessperson, I could understand the thinking behind the Times' actions, but as a writer, it planted a little seed of distrust in the Gray Lady: I knew I would think twice before I would ever write for that publication again -- and I'm sure I wasn't the only journalist thinking the same thing.
This controlling attitude towards its content -- the antithesis of the desires of the providers of that content, who wanted to maximize readership and impact -- only grew more virulent in the face of the growing Web revolution and its successful movement towards open content.
At the Times, this philosophy peaked with the amazingly stupid decision to put the paper's columnists, still among the most influential on the planet, behind a subscription firewall. The Times eventually backed down, but after years of reducing those writers to secondary players in the national conversation, their influence had been seriously diminished.
Increased editorial influence on its reporting, an on-going effort to enforce a business model on a market that didn't want it -- the Times wasn't alone in making these mistakes; indeed, they characterized almost every newspaper in America. Which is why they are all in trouble.
But the Times made one more mistake -- one which it alone could make, and which I think ultimately led to yesterday's meltdown. Most newspapers adopted the always dangerous strategy of trying to become more like one's competitors rather than establishing the defensible position of being even more true to oneself. Like most newspapers, the Times decided to become more timely, more hip, and more judgmental than the electronic media -- when it should have become better reported, more objective, and better written; professionalism being the one arena where the new competitors would have a hard time competing.
What made the Times' decision not to pursue this strategy particularly stupid was that it was, after all, 'America's newspaper of record', a role in which it justly reveled. But you can't hold that title while pandering to the political and cultural views of readers on the Upper West Side. And you can't claim "all the news that's fit to print" when you neglect to notice that an American soldier in Iraq just won the Medal of Honor. In the old days, if the Times didn't cover it, it didn't happen. That insulation is long gone: if the Times doesn't cover it, the blogosphere will -- and millions of readers will starting wondering about the judgment and biases of the New York Times.
Frankly, investors in the Times would be fools not to question the business judgment of the company -- and major shareholders, like Morgan, would be criminally irresponsible to their clients if they didn't start challenging the decisions of Times management -- or not read the "dual class" stock structure as a way for the Sulzbergers to not answer those questions.
If you surfed the Web yesterday you couldn't miss the fact that millions of folks out there were cheering the impending End of Times. I didn't. I want the Gray Lady to straighten out, clean herself up, and regain her old dignity. America needs an honest woman as its newspaper of record. | http://abcnews.go.com/Business/IndustryInfo/story?id=3772051&page=2 | robots: classic

} | 761 | Obese Children Twice as Likely to Die Before 55
Obesity in children may pave the way to an early grave, a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine finds.
The study, published Wednesday, followed nearly 5,000 American Indian children from childhood to middle age and found that those who were obese as children were more than twice as likely to die from disease before the age of 55.
This is the first large study to confirm that childhood obesity is a risk factor for long-term complications, though that is something experts have suspected for years.
Previously, research has only been able to show associations between early death and childhood obesity, said Dr. Nicholas Stettler, a pediatrician who specializes in nutrition and epidemiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. But this study is more powerful, he said, because it further confirms a direct relationship between childhood obesity and long-term health complications.
In the study, children were measured for body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose from age 11 onward. High BMI and blood glucose levels were the strongest predictors of early death -- children with the highest BMI had double the risk of dying early when compared to those in the lower end of the BMI spectrum.
While the study was done in Pima Indians who were children 20 to 30 years ago, the rate of obesity for this population was similar to the high rate of obesity in American children today, a similarity that some doctors fear might mean an increased incidence of early death in the future.
"This population was ahead of the curve and allows us to look at risk factors in obesity during childhood because they've been carefully followed over time," Stettler said.
But there are aspects of the Pima population that may have exaggerated these results, said Dr. Lakshmi Atkuri, a pediatrician at Scott & White Hospital in Round Rock, Texas. As a group these children are shorter (and hence have a higher BMI) and tend to have higher rates of alcoholism as adults, she said.
"The study population had a death rate twice that of the U.S. population at large," she added, suggesting that they may not be representative of American children today.
However, study author Dr. Paul Franks said the Pima most likely are representative of populations at increased risk for obesity today, such as poor African Americans and Hispanics.
Several experts said they agree with this comparison, noting that given the high burden of obesity and cardiovascular disease in these populations, this study further emphasizes the need for community-wide initiatives to prevent childhood obesity in the first place.
Early Action May Save Kids from an Early Grave
As past attempts at fighting obesity have shown, tackling this problem is going to take a lot more than telling kids to eat right and exercise.
Most strategies to prevent childhood obesity have focused on individual behavior changes, said Dr. George Flores, senior program officer at the California Endowment, and these have had little success.
Children's habits are influenced by many factors, he says, including availability of fast food and soda, inadequate access to healthy food options in the neighborhood, and too few safe places, such as parks and recreational facilities, in which to play and exercise.
For these types of systemic issues, he said, public policy has to change. To fight the childhood obesity epidemic, such initiatives as removing soda and junk food from schools, requiring physical education in schools and afterschool programs, and redesigning neighborhoods to encourage walking, biking and playing are necessary.
Adults lay down the trajectory of their health in childhood, said Dr. Michael Rosenbaum, pediatrician and co-director of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia University.
"The heart attack or stroke that one has at age 50 is in most cases somewhat of a reflection of every moment that one ate, slept, smoked, and exercised -- or didn't exercise -- before then," he said.
Some of the damage done early on, such as the buildup of plaque in the arteries, isn't reversible, Stettler said, so changing our eating and exercising culture needs to happen early.
"We shouldn't ignore things that we can influence today," Stettler said. "We should address them now, which is why Michelle Obama's new initiative is very important."
The first lady's "Let's Move" campaign to curb childhood obesity is an effort to address these endemic forces on a societal level.
"We want to eliminate this problem of childhood obesity in a generation," the first lady told "Good Morning America's" Robin Roberts Tuesday. "We want our kids to face a different and more optimistic future in terms of their lifespan." | http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/childhood-obesity-makes-early-grave/story?id=9796264&page=2 | robots: classic

Transcript for New Winter Storm Picks Up Speed
in the heartland, with the month of march barrelling in like a lion, look at the map. From montana to virginia, 19 states under winter watches and warnings. Two bracing for blizzards. And the huge storm their call an alberta clipper is picking up speed as wed into this night. Abc's ginger zee is in the storm zone in minnesota. Reporter: It's march madness on the roads in minneapolis. Persistent plowing in north dakota. Tonight, a storm targets the twin cities, then joins forces with another storm from the south. Chicago gets it, tuesday into wednesday and the mid-atlantic, wednesday into thursday. It's been a winter full of snowy headlines. Blowing snow is really the problem here. We were there when the blizzard blitzed des moines. I was goggled up in boston. Heard thunder snow in topetopeka. And covered up in kansas city, twice. Epic images. From more than three feet in connecticut, hundreds held hostage on that long island highway. Collapsed in oklahoma. Buildings crushed under the weight of two snows in kansas city. But it hasn't all been where you'd expect it. Amarillo has had almost 30 inches, more than double their average, versus a typically snowier chicago who has barely topped 20. Now, time to make up for old man wint winter's shortcomings. A reminder that spring isn't here yet. Let's look at how much snow i going to fall. Here in minneapolis, 6 to 10. Chicago will get it. 6 to 10 with locally 12. D.C. Looking for more than a half foot, especially west. Some places there more than a foot. And I'm concdiane, about wind battering the east coast by the end of the week. Really big one. Thank you, ginger.

Posted in Services
Adhoc Mandate
The ad-hoc mandate is a confidential procedure initiated by the Debtor in which an ad-hoc attorney negotiates with the creditors in order to reach an agreement with one or more of them, which will resolve the Debtor's financial difficulties.
Under strict confidentiality, we can act as an ad-hoc attorney appointed by the court, upon the request of the Debtor. Our aim is to reach an agreement between the Debtor and one or more of its creditors within 90 days after our appointment.
The negotiations cover the partial or total release of debt, debt rescheduling, personnel dismissals, termination of certain agreements or other such measures.
The Debtor will continue to operate as usual and its directors will maintain the right to manage the Debtor's activity.
Our mandate is terminated once an agreement is reached with the creditors. | http://abraxas.pro/services/adhoc-mandate.html | robots: classic

Anticongestion Antipricing
Every once in a while a political issue rises up to put your various political beliefs to the test. As a cyclist and bicycle commuter in New York City I'm a huge advocate of Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan. As a pragmatist I like it even more, the track record of congestion pricing in London is stellar, this isn't just an idea du jour, its one that's proven to be both implementable and effective. Bloomberg sometimes moves with a speed that's shocking unpolitical, and he whipped the idea of congestion pricing in NY from a political dead letter to the hot issue of the day in months, and it was easy to get swept up in the enthusiasm. But then it ran straight into some classic legislative congestion in the form of the New York State legislature and all of a sudden no on has any clue where this plan is going. It's in that pause that I remembered one thing and realized another. One congestion pricing is some scary surveillance society shit, and two that there probably is a much better way.
While I'm on my bike I'm pretty much in favor of any idea that gets cars out of the way and away from me. Everyone has there own little biases, and I've come to realize I don't believe anyone behind the wheel of a car has any rights at all. They might be my favorite person in the world, but when they are driving (and I'm not in the car!) well they are just another one of those subhuman driver things... But congestion pricing is something of trojan horse for left, a concept that legitimizes extensive implementation of computer guided video surveillance, a vehicle to make our world feel a whole lot more 1984. Big Bloomberg is watching you, and making sure the streets stay nice and clear for those nice cyclists...
I've got a better idea, instead of building a massive infrastructure to watch the roads and bill the drivers a measly $8 a day, why not make driving in New York City (or at least Manhattan or in the legislative terms the CBD) truly expensive and clear the streets right out. Why not ban public parking? Just cut it out completely. Any vehical left unattended on a Manhattan CBD street gets towed. Real simple.
That's an extra two lanes on just about every street. You could make the left one a bike lane on every street for bonus points, but really I wouldn't even care. Wider streets with less cars would make NYC a cycling paradise with or without bikelanes. And at the rates garages charge in NY that will cut the amount of drivers radically, they'll be paying a whole lot more than $8 a day to drive around downtown that's for sure. Libertarians of all people have been getting hyped to a variation on this idea, but as per there style it's much more money obsessed. There version is that on street parking should be more expensive, that it should be charged at the market rate, in the libertarian eyes on street parking is a subsidized government privilege and they want the subsidy gone. I'll go further though. It's not the cheapness that's a privilege, it's the very existence of parking on the street. Maybe it made sense once, back in the day when cars were rare and stables more common than garages, but in this day and age the question we really need to ask is can cities afford to give that much public space over to parking private vehicles?
Posted by Abe at August 8, 2007 01:58 PM
You are so right about double parking. Tow those lazy jerks. I have some ways we could fine tune your vision to help pedestrians and the community and do away with your big brother willies. That menacing wall of cars parked along the curb is the pedestrians best friend. That stinking wall of steel protects pedestrians from careening cars. I personally think curb parking should be the only parking available in the CBD. Chuck all those centrally located parking lots & structures, make them illegal and relocate them to remote locations served by transit with housing above them. (Build parks, museums, skateboard parks, velodromes, affordable housing in their place.)That will reduce the available parking dramatically and the amount of vehicles that come to the CBD expecting to find parking. Pair this concept with your idea of making things even more expensive. How about charging more for that curb parking. Have the cost fluctuate based on availability. The more spots available the cheaper the parking (sensors embedded in the spot communicate with a central coordination computer. Up goes the cost as scarcity increases. This will encourage drivers to arrive earlier to get scarce parking spreading out the rush hour=less congestion and less cars overall. Give a good chunk of all that parking revenue to the local neighborhood associations to spend on pedestrian & streetscape and traffic calming improvements and maintenance on their new community velodrome. Restripe bike lanes outside the door zone everywhere in the city and take up a whole traffic lane for bikes. Above all NYPD needs to enforce the law and tow those double parkers. Cite speeders; protect us all from those death machines.
Keep in mind Rob Moses' LI parkway whose low bridges, coupled with his quashing of the extension on the Long Island Rail Road to Jones Beach served as a highly effective demographic filter nfor his parks and beaches. Though the barrier of congestion pricing might lack the physicality of an overpass, the economic motives are similar in effect. I think that the city would breath a little easier...yet I can't help but loath the image of a street populated entirely by bikers, buses/taxis, and tunnel people. I'm all for more New Yorkers taking PT, but it hurts that this would open the place up for jersey. Tourniquet the Holland Tunnel and then the main source of our congestion will reduced to a trickle.
I like it it is good from my side.Love to be the part of your web site.

West Virginia Advocacy Priorities
As many as 40,000 West Virginians have Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, and this number is projected to grow 25 percent by 2025. These individuals are cared for by 108,000 informal caregivers who provide and estimated $1.5 billion in unpaid care.
The Alzheimer's Association's policy priorities are derived from the recommendations of the Make a Plan (MAP) for Alzheimer's disease. More than 50 state government, private, non-profit, and community stakeholders have collaborated to develop a comprehensive plan of policy recommendations to enable West Virginia to become the nation's first Alzheimer's-capable state.
You can download the 2016 Public Policy Priorities here.

I hear this a lot from people. Then in the next breath they say there are no jobs. They send them all overseas!

Adobe Promoting Its Marketing Cloud Around 'Mad Men' Premiere
B2B Company Will Run Spot During Episode and Be Active on Twitter, Says CMO
By Published on .

Adobe CMO Ann Lewnes said the company will promote its marketing-cloud offering around the upcoming season premiere of "Mad Men."
Its "Click, Baby, Click!" spot will run during the premiere episode on AMC this Sunday. The ad will also be featured along with "Mad Men" On Demand content throughout the season.
The night of the premiere Adobe will have Twitter conversations with viewers and companies tweeting about the show, she said. There are also media partnerships that include sponsored content with The Onion, Mashable, Business Insider and homepage takeovers on various websites.
"Predict, test, and optimize is how we do all of our marketing planning," said Ms. Lewnes at the Forrester Marketing Leaders Forum in San Francisco on Thursday. "We are correlating our media spend to bookings and once we actually allocate the spend we do constant testing with keywords, content, white papers, and case studies. Then we can tune the marketing we have."
Ms.Lewnes discussed the campaign in a fireside chat with Forrester analyst David Cooperstein, in which she addressed the challenges facing today's b-to-b marketing executives – herself included.
In a recent survey, Adobe found that 65% of marketers said they will not adopt a new technology unless it were mainstream. Ms. Lewnes urged the audience to take more chances.
"You have to take risks, this is a time for those who are risk averse to realize that if they stay that way they are not going to make it," she said.
However, she noted that investing in technology is "not enough," and that training and "re-skilling" were equally important.
Ms. Lewnes also stressed that marketers need to have the right mix of media in a campaign, though digital is becoming more popular among b-to-b marketers
"When we do a campaign, it's a broad landscape of every touch point, be it mobile, keyword, site visits and TV. Mobile is a huge component, but the real magic comes when you look at the interaction with different channels," she said. "As long as we do something digital that complements something major we are doing with TV, we have the right mix. Also, with ad skipping and new viewing habits, you need to complement (TV ads) with a digital strategy." | http://adage.com/article/special-report-mad-men/adobe-promoting-marketing-cloud-mad-men-premiere/292609/ | robots: classic
