Gravatar Somali president's compound hit

Gunmen have attacked the compound of Somalia's interim President Abdullahi Yusuf in the central town of Baidoa.

At least 10 people were killed in heavy fighting when a local clan militia attacked the area reportedly angry at moves to dismantle their roadblocks.

The unrest comes as the government discussed a response to the Islamist victory this week in the capital.

Militia of the Islamic courts seized Mogadishu from warlords, who had controlled the city for some 15 years.

The central town of Baidoa, some 200km from Mogadishu, is the temporary base of President's Yusuf's fledgling administration, which has not moved to Mogadishu because of security concerns.

White House sees opportunities, post-Zarqawi

"There's going to be a window of opportunity for this new government to sink or swim," White House counselor Dan Bartlett said. "They are going to have to demonstrate to the Iraqis and the rest of the world that they are competent leaders who can meet the needs of the Iraqi people."

While Bartlett offered no specific window, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, has put the time frame at six months. In an interview this week with Der Spiegel, a German magazine, Khalilzad said, "The next six months will be critical in terms of reining in the danger of civil war. If the government fails to achieve this, it will have lost its opportunity."

Dino-nut Adventure/Creation land finito!

http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngu...la/creationism/

On June 5th 2006, Hovind pled nolo contendere as charged to three counts: constructing a building without a permit, refusing to sign a citation and violating the county building code. Hovind was ordered to pay $225.00 per count. The plea brings to an end a 5-year battle over a $50.00 building permit. Hovind estimates he spent $40,000 in legal expenses on this case. Meanwhile, the property taxes for Dinosaur Adventure Land are in arrears in an amount of $10,338.36 ($4,955.23 for 2005 and 5,383.13 for 2003 and 2004).

'Moscow — When Russia’s president hailed his country’s record on press freedom this week, he omitted the newest, significant exception to the rights of the press: Journalistic freedom here apparently no longer extends to calling President Vladimir V. Putin unflattering names.

The evidence includes prosecutors last month charging the editor of an online newspaper with the criminal offense of “insulting a representative of the state” after referring to Putin as “the nation’s phallic symbol.”'

GravatarA very good panel discussion. Kudos to all involved: intelligent and introspective; exactly what one expects from intelligent people discussing important issues.


GravatarTotally OT, but with the 'lectric rates soaring I'm going to buy a fan for my living room so I can push the thermostat up to 78 or 80 at home most of the time. (Can't sleep at more than 72 so this is just a day-time accomodation).

All the tower fans are getting really crappy reviews online (Honeywell, Bionaire) - evidently they just crap out after 6 months or a year.

Anybody have an idea whether I'll recoup the $50 to buy the fan within a year? If not, I'll skip the fan and keep the thermo at 75 where I like it.

thanks

GravatarHamas militants vow to renew attacks on Israel

GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas's armed wing vowed on Friday to renew attacks on Israel hours after Israeli attacks were reported to have killed 10 Palestinian civilians, in a move that would end a truce the militant group declared last year.

"The Israeli massacres represent a direct opening battle and that means the earthquake in the Zionist cities will resume and the herds of occupiers have no choice but to prepare the coffins or the departing luggage," the group said in a statement.

There was no immediate comment from Hamas's political leadership.

GravatarFYI: Reposted from some deeply buried thread last night:

The semi-annual DeepDiscountDVD 20% off sale is on for the next week. Their stuff is often the cheapest on the web (i.e., anywhere), much of it 25-40% off MSRP, no tax and free shipping, so the sale is supersweet. You can only use a discount code once, but there are usually several codes floating around. Here's one: DVDTALK. (BTW, they don't advertise the sale on the site - just enter the code on the checkout page.)

So, for example, you could pick up the new MST3K Vol 9 set, regularly 40% off MSRP, for ~$29.

GravatarGlobal warming has forced animals to evolve already

Some species of animals are changing genetically in order to adapt to rapid climate change within just a few generations, scientists believe.

Smaller animals in particular that can breed quickly, such as squirrels, some birds and insects, are showing signs of evolving new patterns of behaviour to increase their chances of survival. Scientists say that many of the genetic adaptations are to cope with changes in the length of the seasons rather than the absolute increases in summer temperatures.

Larger animals and species that are slow to reproduce may on the other hand find it difficult to cope with climate change because they cannot adapt genetically as quickly as smaller, more fertile creatures that have rapid life cycles.

GravatarScientology hits the road with Nascar race team

The Church of Scientology, the religion founded by a former pulp fiction writer, which includes Tom Cruise and John Travolta among its followers, is trying to reach out to more Americans by embracing US motor sport.

Scientologists will sponsor a Nascar racing team and participate in a sport traditionally associated with the nation's "red states".

The venture will be called the Dianetics Racing Team - the name is based on the belief system drawn up by the late L Ron Hubbard, Scientology's founder, during the 1950s.

The team will be led by Kenton Gray, a California-based driver who has said Hubbard's teachings have helped his driving performances and his life in general. He said: "It's markedly improved my focus and my consistency. Through Dianetics I've handled stress and increased my performance and ability to compete - both on the track and in life."


GravatarSpeaking of attendance, there should be at least 87500* at the event on 16 September. That should be enough to have C-Span coverage.

Joe went for the throat of this administration the moment his wife was attacked and that was right in the middle of war fever.

Wilson has never lost his cool even under the worst right wing attack interviews.

Wilson has always kept focused on what the problem is and what the remedy for the problem is.

In a way I am glad this happened to him only because Joe Wilson wasn't about to let anyone fuck with him or his family and he knew could do something about it. This whole outing of a CIA opperative hasn't just faded away because of Joe Wilsons consistant ongoing fight.

No, Joe Wilson, like all the real cool guys, you wouldn't want to fuck with them. They'll get even.

GravatarFears of 'regime change' policy after US cancels Palestinian pay talks

The US has cancelled talks in which ministers had been expected to approve urgent measures leading to the payment of Palestinian salaries, including those of the security forces, which were frozen after a Hamas government came to power.

A European diplomat said the move reinforced fears that the US was intent on "regime change" in the Palestinian-ruled territories. Tensions between Hamas and Fatah forces in Gaza and the West Bank have been exacerbated by the aid freeze by countries who continue to brand Hamas a terrorist group.

"At best it's a delaying tactic, at worst it's an attempt to scupper the entire mechanism," said the diplomat. "The Americans are into regime change. They want the Palestinian Authority to fail."

Doing some back of the envelope calculation, the average Houston family is going to be paying about $400 more a month this summer than last for gasoline and electricity. That is probably most of the disposable income for these people.

Throw in average temps are already running about five degrees above historical averages, and that figure could worsen. The news show last night had a older woman (retired) on that got a $250 electric bill, and was trying to live without AC.

Many of these apolitical southerners that have always voted with their pocketbooks are going to be quite pissed come November.

Yes, and there are several other things, mostly aromatics, that serve a similar purpose. For relatively effective weed removal, do not dig them out - all that does is make sure the seeds fall and germinate. Instead, either cover with plastic and let them die, or use a high acidic vinegar at the root. In areas where it's possible, use a ground cloth to cover open dirt between plantings and cover with bark or other mulch. As always,

Ate at vacarro's years ago and it was nice.


GravatarMR. WHITMAN: Jeff, go ahead.
Q General, Jeff Schogol with Stars and Stripes. Two quick questions. How can you be sure that he died -- that Zarqawi died as a result of the wounds he received from the explosion without a formal autopsy? And secondly, when you were cleaning him up, did you have to Photoshop his face or anything to make him more recognizable for the picture?
GEN. CALDWELL: To take the second question first, yes, Jeff, his face was very, very bloodied. And we made a conscious decision that if we were going to take photographs of him and make them available publicly, like we did in the press conference, that we were going to clean him up. Despite the fact that this person actually had no regard for human life, we were not going to treat him in the same manner, and so they did clean his face up for the shots that were shown publicly.
As far as the autopsy goes, there was -- I know -- quote -- was an "autopsy" done, but I'm going to go back to make sure that it was performed by whatever the certified kind of person that we're supposed to have so we can call it an autopsy, and make sure I'm exactly correct before I tell you that.

GravatarAnybody been to Baltimore & have suggestions?
geoduck2


I'll second the Vaccaro's for desserts... Cannoli to die for, Pignoli(sp.?) and Amaretti cookies are unearthly good. We live about an hour away from Baltimore and sometimes I hop in the car and drive down to Vaccaro's when I have the dessert jones.

If you get bored with "Little Italy", go to Fell's Point and drop in on Bertha's Pub/Restaurant... try the mussels with the varios sauces... the capers/garlic/anchovy one will make your tastebuds whimper.

GravatarAnother Csbinet secretary doing a heckuva job

WASHINGTON -- A hacker stole a file containing the names and Social Security numbers of 1,500 people working for the Energy Department's nuclear-weapons agency.

But in the incident last September, somewhat similar to recent problems at the Veterans Affairs Department, senior department officials were told only two days ago, officials told a congressional hearing Friday. None of the victims was notified, they said.

The data theft occurred in a computer system at a service center belonging to the National Nuclear Security Administration in Albuquerque, N.M. The file contained information about contract workers throughout the agency's nuclear weapons complex, a department spokesman said.

NNSA Administrator Linton Brooks told a House hearing that he learned of the security break late last September, but did not inform Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman about it. It had occurred earlier that month.

Mr. Bodman first learned of the theft two days ago, according to his spokesman.

"He's deeply disturbed by the way this was handled," said Craig Stevens, a spokesman for Mr. Bodman.

Gravatar UK trade gap expands to Ł5.75bn

The UK's global trade gap widened more than expected in April, Office for National Statistics (ONS) data shows.

The trade deficit grew to Ł5.75bn in April from an upwardly revised Ł5.7bn a month earlier, although analysts had expected the gap to remain unchanged.

A Ł600m drop in overall exports was one of the main factors behind the fall. But despite the overall drop, exports to Europe rose 2.5% to Ł2.37bn.

Meanwhile, analysts blamed the strength of sterling for the fall in exports.

A higher pound makes UK exports more expensive in overseas markets, and the pound has been strengthening recently, especially against the US dollar.

GravatarBush curbs expectations of Iraq troop pullout

CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) - President George W. Bush tempered expectations on Friday of a quick U.S. troop reduction in Iraq after the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, saying a war is not won with the death of a single enemy.

Bush said he was thrilled that al Qaeda's leader in Iraq had been "brought to justice" and insisted he would like to see American troops leave as soon as possible.

But two days after Zarqawi's death in a U.S. bombing raid, Bush reiterated Washington's resolve to stay until Iraqis can secure their own country.

"Removing Zarqawi is a major blow to al Qaeda," Bush said at a news conference with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland. "It's not going to end the war, it's certainly not going to end the violence, but it's going to help a lot."

1,400+ civilians killed in Baghdad last month
by Chris in Paris - 6/09/2006 03:21:00 PM


It's a real surprise that Iraqi citizens aren't celebrating the US presence with these kinds of numbers. The 1,398 figure from the morgues does not even include those blown up in bombings.
All were killed in attacks; in most cases the bodies were found strewn across the Iraqi capital, shot execution-style, the official said.

I can remember being more than a little shocked the first time I was a wall of window glass - in Phoenix our windows were set up high and narrow on the walls, cross ventilation was vital, we planted trees to shade everything we could.

Ironically, I like that song. Remember: Jacks laid some serious blueprint down when The Poppy Family (= Jacks and his lady and some righteous musicians) recorded Which Way You Goin' Billy. And the follow up Poppy Family LP ain't nothing to scoff at either.

Is Seasons in the Sun maudlin? Compared to "There's No Blood in Bone" or some of the other songs Jacks has written, it's pretty upbeat.


GravatarHere's the Baker money qute from his June, 06 piece in Harper's:

Since the end of World War II [the myth of the stab-in-the-back] has been the device by which the American right has both revitalized itself and repeatedly avoided responsibility for its own worst blunders. Indeed, the right has distilled its tale of betrayal into a formula: Advocate some momentarily popular but reckless policy. Deny culpability when that policy is exposed as disastrous. Blame the disaster on internal enemies who hate America. Repeat.

GravatarCertainly we did in the southwest - it was the norm. As well in NOLA and much of the south, the architecture lived within the weather not the other way around. I can remember being more than a little shocked the first time I was a wall of window glass - in Phoenix our windows were set up high and narrow on the walls, cross ventilation was vital, we planted trees to shade everything we could. Sunworship was considered deranged.

GravatarAnother Psyche's office closed, I noticed in town.

The Bush economy is killing private practice. Peopel are being herded to the state services, states already getting overloaded with the tax burden on Bush's tax cuts for billionaires.

People cannot afford to go these small, discrete places and instead get the group waiting room and wal-mart line treatment to fill in their scripts.

So much for the ability to let AMericans practice determinism.

That should be the real solution for Iraq now. We need to elave and let the market decide what course the country goes. Just like the lie-bertarians and republiclowns preach when it comes to regulation. Let's deregulate our presence in Iraq.

GravatarYou can see it streamed on Cspan2, via Cspan.org.

Moonie says that 77 F is hot? No, no, 77 F is perfect. Now 97 F, *that's* hot. It was 105 F the day I got married, and the church wasn't air conditioned. It was then that I realized the value of thick stone walls, high ceilings, and big big fans. (Nobody fainted! Least of all me!)

Prairie houses -- as in Frank Lloyd Wright's designs, not "Little House on the" houses -- are made for harsh climates. Wide eaves calculated to shade the windows in summer and let the sun come in in winter, lots of windows (casement windows that open wide!) placed so you get plenty of breezes, balconies and sleeping porches so you can hang out outside.

Only thing is, FLlW was no engineer, and gutters didn't appeal to his aesthetic, so his houses mostly leak when it rains. So if you buy an original FLlW (which I will, if I ever win the lottery), check out the gutters thoroughly.
