The guide campaign at Ong Village is the latest environment, social, and organization (ESG) action of Prince Group. Each care group contained 25 kilograms of rice, one knot, one cover, two pads, one mosquito net, and one Khmer Krama (customary scarves woven in the open country). It will be the first of various undertakings to help the local neighborhood, as Prince Group envision a critical occupation for occupants in the headway of the waterfront project. Upon finish, Ream City intends to house up to 130,000 inhabitants and will potentially bring dwelling areas, themed retail outlets, schools, and clinical centers, conveying a lift to the close by economy. Prince Group has focused in on outfitting things to help inhabitants with their regular necessities when common Cambodians are going up against broad monetary troubles. Prince Group's ESG method has a three-prong base on clinical benefits, tutoring, and neighborhood. A year prior, the Group made a couple of enormous degree endowments to help in the fight against the pandemic and help flood losses in Cambodia. Until now, the Prince Charitable Foundation Organization by prince group chairman Chen Zhi has facilitated more than 240 beneficent events and gave saves and various materials worth more than US$11 million, benefitting more than 320,000 people.
With a public request, Prince Charitable Foundation was developed with US$1 million by prince group chairman Chen Zhi, with the total procured from the business pay of properties. It has also pulled in a ton of endowments from others and affiliations. Prince Charitable Foundation Organization has dispatched more than 240 reason events, benefitting 320,000 people, with blessings outperforming $11 million.

Asics Magic Speed 2 Review: Magic or an Illusion?

Weighs 8.4 oz. (240 g.) for a US M9.5 / 7.1 oz. (201 g.) for a US W7.5
Carbon-infused TPU plate offers snap to the toe-off
Might look the Metaspeed Sky+ and Edge+, but looks can be deceiving
Flytefoam Blast+ midsole (with heel segment of Flytefoam), but it doesn’t quite feel like it
Available for $150 on September 1
ROBBE: I like magic. Magic markers, especially ones that smell good but don’t get you high. Harry Potter. Gob Bluth and the Gothic Castle. Penny Hardaway and Shaquille O’Neal. Every little thing she does. Last but not least — magic erasers because they’re the best solution for cleaning white sidewalls of running shoes, especially before race day. Shoes like the Asics Magic Speed 2.
I think I was one of the few people who actually liked the first version of the Magic Speed, Asics’ attempt at a plated tempo shoe. It was firm with a TPU plate, but the rocker hit me right, so it felt good when I wanted to pick up the pace. However, I can admit the upper was kinda trash, not a great fit, and had the tendency to buzz-saw the Achilles, so yeah, it could’ve used some improvements.
Improvements were made, to say the least. Instead of a full Flytefoam midsole, we now have a Flytefoam Blast+ top layer and a heel section of Flytefoam, accompanied by a carbon-infused TPU plate. The upper is new, with more padding around the collar, and is a close sibling to the uppers of Asics’ top-tier racing shoes in the Metaspeed Edge+ and Sky+. It’s still lightweight and retains a Guidesole rocker.
In fact, a lot of the design details of the Magic Speed 2 mimic those race shoes, from the upper to the midsole shape to the outsole (literally the same).
So did Asics pull a rabbit out of a hat or just squirt lighter fluid all over the front row of the audience? Let’s find out.
BRANDON: Maybe you’re not quite willing to break the bank on a “super shoe” for race days. Maybe you just want a fast day shoe to run some quick tempo reps in. Well, I’m happy to confirm that the Magic Speed 2 solves both problems for you. It’s a problem solver for sure, but does it really bring the magic?
I’m not fully convinced just yet. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first version, but truly, I wanted to love it. On paper, it was my ideal shoe. A fast uptempo trainer, lightweight, nimble, and something I could lace up and burn on the track. With the original version, I never really found my stride — the fit was awkward and all over the place, and the toe-off sensation wasn’t really all there.
Does the Magic Speed 2 fix any of these problems? In the short run, yes. In the long run, it’s less clear.
ROBBE: I really like the fit of this upper. It wraps around the foot quite well and provides a snug and secure fit. It’s very lightweight and breathable, so don’t expect a ton of comfort for long hauls, but as a shorter-distance tempo shoe, it works great. The flat tongue disappears on the top of the foot and doesn’t slide around. And yes, there is more padding around the heel/Achilles area, so I didn’t experience any rubbing or discomfort, which was an issue a lot of people had with the first version.
Because the upper fits so well, it does feel like a nimble shoe when cornering or going at faster paces. Always good when you’re trying to disappear while the audience is distracted by your assistant.
As I already mentioned, there are a lot of things about the Magic Speed 2 that would make you think this falls in the Metaspeed family. And it does, kind of. It certainly feels like a fast shoe or a budget racer. The turnover is quick thanks to that Guidesole rocker, so when you pick up the pace, it goes with you. There is a bit of a snap off the toe thanks to that plate (which closely resembles the feel of the more aggressive Metaspeed Edge+), but it’s not to the same degree you get from the race day shoes.
Outsole traction is solid. It’s pretty much the exact same thing as the race-day shoes, which I’ve never had a problem with.
Lastly, I just love the way this shoe looks on the foot. A lot of the time, we talk about how we like to look down and see a shoe that looks fast, and this one certainly plays the part.
BRANDON: Right off the bat, a shoe like this has to be rewarded for its price — it’s only $150. With inflation, COVID, the economy, blah blah blah, you get the point…this one held strong and remained at $150 while many others have gone up.
The Magic Speed 3 has a full layer of FlyteFoam Blast+ and provides a snappy, well-supported, and fast transition underfoot. This shoe works well for tempo runs, workout days, and even as a budget racer. It seems as if the shoe got a complete overhaul. Instead of a half plate, there’s now a full plate. The foam is slightly softer, the stack is higher than before, and the upper is similar in feel to the original Metaspeed.
I have to admit, I was excited to try this one because there are some pretty great changes throughout. Running in it, I definitely felt faster and was able to pick up the pace nicely. I went for a tempo run and found it very easy to transition between paces and switch directions quickly, which can be essential in a racing environment. The shoe is definitely heading in the right direction, but I do have a few qualms with it.
Shop Asics – Men Shop Asics – Women
ROBBE: Every magician has to cut their teeth at kids’ birthday parties before they can get paid to freak people out alongside David Blaine (aka Wide Foot Jarrett). There are a few places in this magic show where the sleight of hand may have gone awry.
Now, I want to note that I’m framing this section from the perspective of somebody who expected the Magic Speed 2 to be a budget racer, in the same bucket as the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 or the Adidas Takumi Sen 8. I should also note that the Metaspeed Edge+ is my go-to race shoe.
From that reference point, the Magic Speed 2 falls flat. Though we love Flytefoam Blast+ in other shoes (e.g. Novablast 3, Gel-Nimbus 24, Kayano 29, etc.), it just feels a little dead in the Magic Speed 2. Maybe it’s a combination of the plate, the stack, or just a different formula, but the “magic” isn’t there. Of course, the traditional Flytefoam in the heel section means it’s not a total Flytefoam Blast+ package as well.
Again, that’s fine if you like a firmer shoe like the Saucony Kinvara or Altra Escalante but want something with a bit more snap and turnover. If you like that, you’ll probably love this shoe. But for something that mimics Asics race day shoes from an aesthetic perspective and comes in at a price point just $10 below last year’s Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 (which has a much better pop from its PWRRUN PB midsole), the expectation will not be met. Altogether, it’s not as exciting as you want it to be and feels more or less like a poor version of a racing shoe.
Lastly, I would say that this shoe is not for the faint of ankles. The way the foot sits over the top of the midsole is very reminiscent of the Saucony Endorphin Pro, which is to say, it feels like you’re balancing on a rail, especially in the heel. Like a lot of those shoes, though, it does fade away the faster you pick up the pace, so reserve this shoe for faster efforts.
BRANDON: First and foremost, the shoe simply isn’t that comfortable. The foam is pretty firm, the upper is a little coarse, and the whole package doesn’t make for the softest or most cushioned of rides. However, I’ll ask, what tempo shoe ever is? You want to run fast? A squishy and soft shoe would be pretty hard to pick up the pace in. The Magic Speed 2 is a great update from its previous version, but I think a few more tweaks (i.e. Flytefoam Turbo) and this shoe can go from just average or good to great.
Asics Magic Speed 2 Conclusion
ROBBE: I’m not sure I would say this shoe is a trick, but it may be an illusion. It looks like a racer, it fits like a racer, but when the smoke clears, it runs like an average tempo shoe. I’m not sure I’d get any benefit out of this over any faster day on the market at more reasonable prices. If I’m making dollars disappear, I’m either picking up the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 (slightly firm and fast) or Endorphin Speed 3 (slightly soft and fast), or the Adidas Takumi Sen 8, which seems to be perpetually on sale and has even been popping up for $80 these days.
I’ve loved almost every Asics shoe that’s been released this year and still think they’re on fire (just wait for the Novablast 3), but this may be the one missing card in the deck.
BRANDON: The Magic Speed 1 wasn’t a very good shoe. The Magic Speed 2 is, however. With the most recent updates and changes, it’s a MIP (Most Improved Magician). With an unchanged price tag, the tempo shoe looks more attractive than ever. Would I pay $20 more for the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2 or 3? Personally, yes. But I do think it’s about what you are looking for. I believe that Asics was struggling to develop a strong tempo day shoe, but I think they’ve finally found one that works.
You can pick up the Asics Magic Speed 2 for $150 on September 1 at Running Warehouse (featuring free 2-day shipping and 90-day returns) by using the shop link below.
Just a minor heads up – I think you meant to say Saucony Endorphin “Speed” and not “Pro” in the paragraph referencing the $10 price difference.
Robbe Reddinger says:
Ah yes, thanks for the catch!
Ken Wu says:
Chinese runner who bought Magic Speed 2 here. I had my eyes on Takumi sen 8 at first but the price always stay high in China (about 300RMB higher Magic Speed 2) so I finaly picked the newer and cheaper Magic Speed 2 instead…I’m not so sure if I made the best choice after reading your review hahaha
It’s not a terrible shoe, we just wouldn’t pick it over some of those other shoes. Good luck!

Phones run hot 'for free'
ONE four-letter word rates as the hottest in the marvellous community of classified advertising. "Free" seems guaranteed to get phones ringing.
Snipping at its heels in the attention-grabbers’ hot list is "giveaway". Both give extra value to the experience of grabbing a cuppa and sitting down with "the classies" -- you just never know what you’ll find. Three such notices appeared last Friday. Here are the results:
SALLY and Daniel Smith, of Alexandra Hills, have a new mattress and dining table so advertised their old queen-size mattress and table with six chairs in "alright" condition.
Sally said the twin-giveaway strategy stemmed from their fears a 13-year-old mattress might be difficult to sell and a disposal problem but could still be handy for someone in need.
The idea was: "If you want the dining table, you have to take the mattress."
It worked, helping them free up space in the festive season crush. They received about six calls.
THE other notices came from Victoria Point couples in the community of "seniors".
Couple No. 1 received about eight calls after they advertised a single-bed and mattress – complete with two sets of sheets and bedspread.
"We are elderly with no children and we don’t need the bed any more so we just thought we could give it away," the wife said.
An "elderly lady" recived this Christmas gift, which was about 12 years old.
THIS giveaway post-mortem could have been all smiles but Couple No. 2, who advertised the giveaway of a leather lounge suite and a fridge for $200 had reasons to frown.
They received about 50 calls on each item so wearied of saying "sorry", but their main beef was the many callers who failed to keep appointments to inspect the fridge.
The husband also told how his wife had helped a Russell Island woman – picking her up at the waterbus jetty, driving her to their home to see the fridge, then taking her back to the jetty.
"She needed to check measurements in her home but she didn’t call back," the husband said. "When we called her that night she said it wasn’t suitable. We had to do the calling."
A WOMAN, possibly in her fifties, was first caller about the lounge suite – at 7am on Friday – and arrived at 8am to take it.
She told the couple she had just found a matching chair sitting beside a street and labelled "take me".
Out of all this, it seems in order to remind users of classified advertising everywhere that the phone numbers belong to real people with real feelings and they deserve courtesy and respect.
THANKS to all who have contributed to this column in 2008. Enjoy the company of your loved ones at this very special time of year.

‘Rapid Repricing’: Higher Interest Rates Slow CRE Deals, But Many Investors Won’t Be Deterred
Federal Reserve, Finance, Investing-Financial Services, Investment Sales, Property Valuations
Real estate debt investors have been enjoying favorable economic conditions for the last few years.
Despite the pandemic-fueled economic upheaval, money has been cheap and lately, conditions have been looking up — especially for investors placing bets on high-demand asset classes like multifamily and industrial.
Now, things are beginning to look grim.
U.S. inflation is at a 40-year high, gas prices are breaking records at $5 per gallon and on Monday the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 876 points and the S&P 500 ended the day in bear market territory — both indexes apparently spooked by looming interest rate hikes.
The Federal Reserve has tried to put a lid on inflation with several aggressive rate adjustments in 2022. That already seems to have slowed down the pace of real estate deals, but capital market experts told Bisnow this week that won’t be enough of a headwind to deter many investors.
“We’re in a weird climate at the moment, where sellers still have unrealistic expectations based on where values have gone over the past two years, and even more so the last nine months,” said Three Pillars Capital Group Managing Principal Gautam Goyal, whose Houston-based private equity firm specializes in Class-B and C multifamily communities.
With interest rates creeping up, fewer deals make sense, Goyal said.
Innovo Property Group, for example, recently backed out of an agreement to buy 452 Fifth Ave., an office tower in Midtown Manhattan, for $855M. The high-interest rate environment made the deal untenable for the investor, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing an anonymous source.
Deal volume has already slowed down, with brokers reporting that the buyer pool has shrunk dramatically, Goyal said. Lenders have tightened up their underwriting with lower loan-to-value ratios and requiring interest reserves, making it more difficult to make deals work.
“The deals that will be squeezed will involve those assets that traditionally trend towards a lower cap rate, as the spread between interest rates and the cap rates narrow,” said Adam Johnson, NAI Hiffman executive vice president of office services.
That dynamic will provide an advantage to larger funds that have cheaper access to capital and cash, which will keep the market going, Johnson noted, though he says he anticipates a slowdown toward the end of the year and into 2023 as interest rates increase and flatten out. For now, however, volume should remain relatively high through the summer and fall as investors race the rate increases.
Nationwide, commercial property sales, including multifamily, came in at $39.4B in April, according to MSCI Real Assets data. That is down 16% compared with the same month in 2021, and coming on the heels of 13 consecutive months of increases, the company found. Office, industrial and senior housing assets led the decline, though sales of retail and multifamily continued to rise.
“What interest rates will do in the next few months hasn’t happened in recent history,” Goyal said. “A dramatic increase in rates will impact those buyers who bought at the top of the CRE cycle. The same goes for office space, which was already struggling with lower occupancy.”
In March, the Federal Reserve approved a quarter-percent increase for its key interest rate, the first since December 2018, and after nearly a decade at hovering near zero, raised the rate again by half a percent in May. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes, which is a benchmark for commercial mortgages, has nearly doubled so far this year.
The central bank will probably hike its key interest rate by as much as three-quarters of a percent in June, with rising chances of a half-percent move in September, according to a Reuters poll of economists in early June.
Borrowers seeking new commercial mortgages have already encountered a number of changes due to these projected rate hikes, Marcus & Millichap explained in its most recent Capital Markets Special Report.
“Forward interest rate projections are aggressively steep, resulting in higher interest rate cap costs and high swap spreads,” the report said. “Securitizations following last March’s hike are only getting started, but initial feedback is that spreads are nearly even, despite a greatly increased base index rate.”
If this trend continues, Marcus & Millichap reports, interest rates will move back toward the mean (that is, a return to “normal,” where it hasn’t been in 20 years) and that makes assumable debt that was originated over the past few years incredibly valuable to the next buyer, even if rents quit rising so rapidly or a recession puts a dent in demand.
“We’re reaching a place in the benchmark interest rates that’s causing investors to reconsider some of their return assumptions about the cost of debt financing,” said Chatham Financial Managing Director Rob Mangrelli, who works on the firm’s real estate hedging and capital markets team. “There’s been a rapid repricing.”
Considering the latest inflation numbers — the Consumer Price Index was up 8.6% in May for the year — the market is pricing in roughly another 2.25% of increases for the rate by the end of the year, Mangrelli said.
That part of the economic climate is relatively predictable, Mangrelli said. Less so is the future rate of inflation itself, and that might have as much of an impact on CRE investment as rising interest rates.
“Business is always injured by uncertainty,” Mangrelli said. “That uncertainty paralyzes effort. Inflation is the worst of all business uncertainties — it is uncertainty about how much a dollar is going to buy.”
The slowdown will be more than just a matter of rising interest rates, according to Hudson Realty Capital Managing Principal Richard Ortiz, but also a matter of seller psychology.
“Sellers still have valuations from six months ago when cap rates were still historically low,” he said. “When translated to today’s pricing, only sellers who absolutely have to sell will do so. Most sellers will wait until they can get a better price.”
As the gap between bids and asks widens, CRE transaction volume will decline, NYU Schack Real Estate Institute Clinical Assistant Professor Constantine Korologos said.
Deals that worked with cap rates that were originally applied are not getting the financing expected because the higher rates are driving lower debt service coverage ratios, and loan proceeds are being cut, Korologos said.
“I don’t believe that any property types are immune,” Korologos said, though he noted there is a good deal of variation even within property types.
“Apartments in strong employment growth markets may not feel the stress as much as a large gateway city market,” he said. “Industrial has seen significant investment demand but could be subject to the same debt cost issues.”
Even so, multifamily has been particularly resilient during times of market turmoil and dislocation, Goyal said, with investors still quite eager for the property type in many cases.
“We continue to see momentum in the multifamily and industrial sectors despite the increase in interest rates over the last few months,” PGIM Real Estate Head of U.S. Debt Originations Melissa Farrell said.
“We think this momentum can be maintained given there is significant tenant demand across markets for units and space and significant demand from both equity and debt investors,” Farrell said.
There are also still some broader tailwinds behind CRE investment besides the strength of certain property types. While development pipelines are strong for now, the cost of money could, along with rising construction costs, put a damper on even hot development markets, such as apartments.
If development drops but demand among renters stays high, that would mean existing properties would be all the more valuable, even in a high-interest rate environment.
“Strong demand could still support some new development, but it will have to be very strong,” Korologos said. “Higher costs will also cool supply growth, providing a more favorable environment for newer existing high-quality assets.”
Korologos added that higher interest rates can’t be viewed independent of the other economic conditions — inflation, supply chain challenges, energy costs and geopolitical risk.
“They have a collective impact that could create broader market and asset sector distress,” he said.
Equity isn’t likely to be deterred by higher interest rates, as long as demand and rents are rising.
“There remains something over $150B in dry powder available to private equity investors in real estate, and I’d posit that they’re not going to sit on that cash,” Mangrelli said. “They’re going to put that money to work if they can, and that will provide some level of backstop on activity.”
There also remains strong demand for commercial properties from retail investors, such as high net worth individuals, Mangrelli said.
“Some of the large alternative asset managers have clearly shifted their strategies over time, and are looking for some level of inflation protection,” Mangrelli said. “Wealth is going to seek asset classes that might perform better in a higher inflation environment.”

Walt Hates Graffiti (6/19/00)
Other than the enormously entertaining fallout of the Microsoft Empire's most recent extension into Mac territory, this is shaping up to be one slow week for Apple watchers. Is it possible that we've drifted into the traditional pre-Expo doldrums already? We sincerely hope not, since there's a solid month left before Uncle Steve addresses the faithful and (we hope) knocks our collective socks off with some huge consumer-oriented product surprise. We figure the rumor mill will kick into high gear about a week before the event, as per the usual, but if we're really sitting in the calm before the storm, we've got three deadly weeks of boredom to deal with before the sparks start flying.
Thank goodness for the classics, right? Nothing sustains us in the lean days like a rumor that's so old it's wearing an "I LIKE IKE" button. But just to pace ourselves in this drought, we're going to save up the classic "Disney's Buying Apple" rumor and draw your attention to another long-standing nugget of questionable Apple lore: your friend and mine, the Apple handheld. It seems like the Apple-Palm variant of this pipe dream has gone into hibernation of late, due no doubt in part to the fact that an Apple-branded Palm has been rumored to be "just around the corner" for over a year now; we remember going to last year's Expo and hoping against hope we'd be able to buy an Apple PDA there.
So here's the latest on Apple's long-awaited handheld computer: apparently Apple's going to replace the Newton with-- are you ready for this?-- the Newton. See, Macworld's running one of those slow-news-day stories about how the Newton has sustained its popularity two years after its cancellation, but it was Applelinks who pointed out a very interesting "talkbalk" comment a reader appended to the article. Titled "NEW NEWTON IN 2001," its author makes the bold claim that the printer for which he works "just got an order from Apple for new Newton boxes." So there you have it, friends-- the uncontestable truth. The Newton wasn't killed; it was cryogenically frozen to be revived when the market caught up to its ahead-of-its-time feature set and design. Cryogenically frozen like a certain supposedly-deceased animator we could name? Hmmm, and just a couple of weeks ago faithful viewer J. Lot personally witnessed "three managerial Disney employees in two different theme parks walking around with Apple Newton MP2000s." We should have known that the handheld rumors and the Disney rumors were connected...
2367: The Wind's A-Changin' (6/19/00) In "Redmond Justice" news, we think it's safe to say that the tables have turned. In Judge Jackson's courtroom, Microsoft's legal team quickly pigeonholed itself as a pack of inept clowns, and Smilin' David Boies and the rest of the Justice Department mopped the floor with them for two solid years, to the delight and amusement of the entire viewing audience...

Plenty of fight left in the Sox
Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff August 3, 2010 11:48 PM
Let's start with what matters ...
Josh Beckett went eight innings and looked like .... Josh Beckett. He retired the final 14 batters he faced and allowed only two runners as far as second base. He has allowed five runs on 13 hits in 20.2 innings since coming off the disabled list.
If the Sox are to somehow survive this Biblical plague of injuries, their starters have to be the ones who carry them.
"He’s letting it go," Terry Francona said of Beckett. "We’ve been around him for a long time now. When he’s able to go out there with his full arsenal, he can be one of the best pitchers in the game."
The Mike Lowell Goosebump Moment was fun. After emerging from his jail cell deep beneath Fenway, Lowell got a standing ovation from the crowd then buried a pitch deep into the Monster Seats.
"It’s been an interesting road,” Francona said. “Probably only Boston. About brought the house down. I guess it’s safe to say that was an immediate impact. Good for him.”
Lowell appreciated the reaction of the crowd.
"I don’t know if they were clapping because they thought maybe I was gone or because they’re happy to see me still here,” he said. “It’s a real nice feeling. Running the bases felt real good."
It would be a great story if Lowell somehow ably filled in for Kevin Youkilis and the Sox made a run. But make no mistake about it, 2007 Mike Lowell would have trouble filling in for Youkilis. You don't easily replace a player of that caliber.
As for the fight, it was typically silly baseball stuff. Intentionally or not, Beckett hit two Indians and threw a couple of pitches in tight. So the youthful Indians had to retaliate.
But they were clumsy about it..
Justin Germano threw a pitch behind David Ortiz in the seventh inning. Jensen Lewis then did the same in the eighth with Adrian Beltre up. You get one chance to do it right, not two. So the Red Sox were steamed and next thing you know the teams were on the field. The Indians are lucky that Beltre didn't tear off somebody's arm are start beating them over the head with it.
Shelley Duncan, who is more than a little crazy, tried to get at Beckett, who also has his moments of insanity. Then Francona and Indians third base coach Steve Smith decided the battle was on. John Farrell was ready to go, too.
“I just got a little aggravated. Cut back on the Red Bull a little bit tomorrow," Francona said.
MLB will levy a bunch of fines. Players on the DL are not supposed to leave the dugout for fights but most of the DL'd Sox did. You sort of have no choice in these matters.
Finally, we have the long awaited return of Jacoby Ellsbury tomorrow. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial was less complicated than the machinations involving the fleet center fielder and his fractured ribs.
But starting tomorrow, that's in the past and now all that matters is how he plays. The Pink Hats will happy to see their boy tomorrow night.
"He brings something to our lineup that we've been missing, that threat to run and the speed," Francona said. "When he's healthy and doing what he can do, that gives us all a different look that teams have to respect."
Meanwhile, the vaunted Yankees are 5-6 in their last 11 games as A-Rod's blemished pursuit of 600 home runs has dragged the team into a morass of moral quicksand from which there is no escape.
(OK, so that is probably not true. But still.)
The Sox are 5.5 games out of a playoff spot with 55 games left to play. What else have you got to do this summer?
Thanks to everybody for reading today. There have been nearly 600 comments on Extra Bases in the last 24 hours. Don't any of you people have families?
Only kidding.
Thanks also to summer intern Robert "Willie" Mays for helping out with the in-game blog tonight. Amalie and I had our hands full with the Lowell and Youkilis news and young Robert stepped up.
Ellsbury activated

Mindie Throwdown 2k12: Of MotyRae JepsFun. Edition
Who holds the crown for Best of Mindie 2k12?
Of Monsters and Men - "Little Talks"
Gotye - "Somebody That I Used To Know"
Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe"
Fun. - "We Are Young"
Pages: [1] 2 3 4
Author Topic: Mindie Throwdown 2k12: Of MotyRae JepsFun. Edition (Read 9840 times)
I know the year isn't halfway done yet, but that's why this is only the first edition. It's hard to deny that 2k12 has been a huge year for mindie bands the world over. Now I know you may be thinking that CRJ isn't really mindie since she's not even a band, but I like to think of her as a little bit of mindie pop because it makes the title that much more enjoyable to say. It's also hard to deny that she has been tearing up the radio speakers, so really should she be excluded just because she doesn't fit in to the old boys club/is Canadian/has garnered too much Gomez and Bieber love?
But when you put them all up against one another, who is/are the true King/Queen of 2k12's mindie? You decide!
1. Of Monsters and Men - "Little Talks"
2. Gotye - "Somebody That I Used To Know"
3. Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe"
4. Fun. - "We Are Young"

Re: Mindie Throwdown 2k12: Of MotyRae JepsFun. Edition
... "mindie"?
No one makes me feel older than FLY does.
Mainstream indie, I assume.
That's the one.
We Are Young came out in September of 2011 - thats more than a quarter! its so not a 2012 track.
Interesting. Is that when it really started blowing up?
Perhaps it's 2k12's "Super Bass"?
and it got GLEEed in December 2011.
Damned Glee!
All of these songs are awful, except the the maybe one.
The 'Pedia is telling me "We Are Young" didn't go Billboard Number 1 until March, so I'm still going to count it.

Convert Issues
Coptic & Assyrian & True & Other Orthodoxies
Thread starter orthros
As someone searching, I have a question: Do the Orthodox believe, in general, that other Orthodox are... er... Orthodox?
For example: I see people who list themselves as Coptic or Serbian or Ethiopian Tewahedo. Would all of you see each other as Orthodox (in general)? Or are there subgroups (e.g. Copts and Ethiopians intercommune, but not with Serbs who are on their own)? Do Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians see each other as Orthodox, doctrinal disagreements notwithstanding? Would the Russian church outside of Russia intercommune with the "true" Russian church? Is it all individual or is there a general structure?
Part of my confusion in researching Orthodoxy are all the subsplits. Even in the Greek Orthodox Church, there are subgroups that aren't in communion with each other, or at least it appears to be so.
Is there a chart somewhere? Or some way I can discern what joining Orthodoxy would entail if I choose Greek vs. Antiochian vs. Coptic vs. Ethopian vs. whatever?
Apologies in advance if this is dense.

It's a good question. I think most of them are similar.

Hi Orthos,
There are a bunch of other threads already about how the different communions see each other. You might want to do a search. Opinions vary widely.
But as far as what it would mean to join any particular communion, that is an easier question.
If you join the Oriental Orthodox (non-Chalcedonian) communion, you are in communion with the Copts, Ethiopians, Eritreans, Indians (Syro-Malankara), Syriac Orthodox ('Syrians'), and the Armenians. You will also be in communion with the British Orthodox Church (within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate), and the French Coptic Orthodox Church (Métropole copte orthodoxe de France).
If you join the Eastern Orthodox, you will be in communion with all of these (basically all of Eastern Europe + Greek and Arab Christian minorities elsewhere + the OCA).
That's a very abbreviated way of looking at it. I'm sure someone who is more involved in tracking these things on the EO side can give a more detailed account of what I'm assuming is wrong with the list from wikipedia. Their situation is a bit more complex than ours, perhaps, because of the larger number of individual nations/national churches in their communion, and the fact that some of them aren't autocephalous, but apparently would like to be.

orthros said:
Chalcedonian/Eastern Orthodox and non-Chalcedonian/Oriental Orthodox are not in official communion. So Copts and Ethiopians (Oriental Orthodox) commune with each other, but Serbs are Eastern Orthodox and would not commune with any Oriental Orthodox churches. The ROCOR church is part of the Eastern Orthodox communion, and is in perfect communion with the Russian Orthodox Church. I believe ROCOR is actually a part of the ROC now.
You're probably thinking of the Old Calendar schism. There are certain churches ("Genuine," "True," etc.) that are not in communion with any mainstream Eastern Orthodox churches.
And how we view each other is going to vary from person to person.

Y'all have beaten me to all the great answers already!
dzheremi's link is helpful for the EO side of things, as we have the 15 autocephalous churches but many national churches that aren't self yet governing, but exist in the structure of other autocephalous churches. Then, the youngest of the autocephalous churches, the Orthodox Church in America, is not universally recognized as autocephalous. Those that disagree with the autocephaly see the OCA as part of the Russian Orthodox Church, since that is their "mother" church.
Really, to know if an EO church is autocephalous, you have to look at the diptychs (the list of bishops), and see who's under who. If the line doesn't end with one of the 15 autocephalous primates, they aren't canonical and we do not commune with them. Then, in turn, all of the other autocephalous churches commemorates the others when their primate is serving, thus declaring the communion between those churches. When a church is "struck from the diptychs", it means a schism has occurred.
As for EO/OO communion. It doesn't generally happen, but sometimes it is allowed (usually only when there isn't a local parish of the proper communion). As far as seeing each other as "Orthodox"...well, opinions will differ among the laity and even the clergy. Personally, I believe the OO to be completely Orthodox and would commune with them if I had the blessing to do so. That said, I don't have that blessing and so I do not. I hope it is a schism that will soon be healed.
When you speak of "subgroups" I think of schismatics groups, like the Greek Old Calendarists, who aren't in communion with us. Again, it is a simple better of referring to the diptychs. Their bishops aren't commemorated by the rest of the EO communion, and so they are not with us.

Dear dzheremi ,
A point of clarification: Syro-Malankara is not an Oriental Orthodox Church. It is the name of an Eastern Rite Catholic (I mean under the Roman Pope) that was established in 1929; when Mar Ivanious (allegedly upset that he was not elected as Catholicose) left the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and joined with Rome.
The Oriental Orthodox jurisdictions in India are Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church (autocephelous under the Catholicose of the East) and Malankara Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church (autonomous, but under the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East).

The Oriental Orthodox are orthodox, the Assyrians are nestorians.
The Oriental Orthodox and the Eastern Orthodox are not in communion (yet).
The rest has been explained already, I see.
Cyrillic said:
the Assyrians are nestorians.
What I'm gathered from Catholic-Assyrian dialogues, it seems that the Assyrians aren't Nestorian at all in their Christology. I believe, and may be wrong, that they're pretty much Chalcedonian in all but language.
Nephi said:
As if the RC-christology isn't quasi-nestorian as well...
Oh, and here, this wonderful chart of Assyrian christology:
Nestorius could have made this would he have had MS Paint.

To clarify, the Syriac words Kyana, Qnoma, and Parsopa would be translated as Ousia, Hypostasis, and Prosopon respectively in Greek. This shows that the Assyrian Church believes Christ is two Hypostasis, not the Orthodox view of a Hypostatic Union.

Not exactly and not with the same definitions. An Antiochian Orthodox priest who was raided Assyrian does a good job of explaining the differences.
http://eastmeetseastblog.blogspot.com/
IIRC the Syriacs (who speak Syriac natively, duh) speak of Christ as one Qnoma.
dhinuus said:
Sorry. Sloppy wording on my part. I meant Malankara Orthodox, of course. I was using "Syro-" as a prefix to denote the language used (as is common in academia, as here). Didn't even have the Catholic group in mind. Apologies for the confusion.
Yet from what I have read and understand, the word hypostasis was used differently at the Council of Nicea to how it was used in later times; in the 5th century, its meaning was still being debated/redefined by the scholars of the Church. Given how the Assyrians define qnoma, it does not appear to carry the exact same meaning as the word hypostasis now does. It should also be noted that the way the Syriac Church defines qnoma appears to be more akin to how hypostasis is defined.
ReturnOrthodoxy
I am an OO and I view the EO as being 100% orthodox. I consider myself a staunch ecumenism in this regard. As for the Assyrian church, I cannot but find them Nestorian regardless of the blogs I may read or the explanations I may hear. I cannot be an Alexandrian and a faithful disciple of the Great St. Cyril and find any unity with a church that accepts Nestorius or any version of his heresy.
That chart Cyrillic post is very accurate to Nestorian teaching. St. Cyril would be turning in his grave if he ever heard of an Orthodox believer accepting it.

Deacon Lance said:
I think we're straying into deeper waters than required to answer the OP, but let me agree with Dn Lance that the Syriac terminology and definitions are a little more fluid than the strict equivalence with the Greek terms implied in sheenj's reply. In most cases I'm familiar with, they are equivalent, but not always in every context. Further complicating matters is that even in Syriac the Greek terminology is sometimes also used. Syriac patristic and liturgical texts, for example, utilise both kyana/kyono and ousia.
That said, I don't have time to read the blog post, but I knew that priest when he was a seminarian (great guy), and we had some very informal conversations about the terminology. What I found interesting is that, with all his knowledge of Chalcedonianism and "Nestorianism", he was 100% certain that both of these were Orthodox in their Christology, but just as sure that the non-Chalcedonian position was 100% heretical, even though both EO and OO seem to agree that the Assyrian position remains flat-out wrong, despite RC assurances to the contrary. Christology is not my preferred field, so I never pursued the subject with him, otherwise I would've been curious on what basis he made this evaluation.
He was definitely an atypical EO. If he's right, either the non-Chalcedonians are heretical and the Assyrians are Orthodox, or the Eastern Orthodox are truly Nestorian heretics, despite their use of terms like Theotokos. Personally, I think he went off-course at some point.

Murray kicks ass in 2010 US Senate poll
by Goldy — Thursday, 2/19/09 , 3:00 pm
The first poll in Washington’s 2010 US Senate race has been released, and it looks good for incumbent Democrat Patty Murray.
The Daily Kos/Research 2000 survey polled head-to-head matchups between Sen. Murray and both Dave Reichert and Rob McKenna, both of whom Murray led by double-digit margins. Sen. Murray scored a respectable 55% favorable rating, whereas Reichert and McKenna registered 38% and 34% favorable respectively.
Not surprising really, though apart from Murray’s strength I think the survey also reveals the inherent weakness of the Republican bench here in Washington state. Indeed, that DKos/R2K would even bother to poll head-to-head with Reichert and McKenna is telling, considering that neither is likely to challenge Murray in 2010.
Reichert is a political lightweight with demonstrated shallow support even within his own district. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that a Reichert Senate run would end up any differently than 2004, when an equally politically diminutive George Nethercutt got his ass whipped by the physically diminutive Murray. Reichert might be stupid enough to give it go, but I doubt his handlers are.
Meanwhile, only 63% of respondents even had an opinion of McKenna, despite him being the highest ranking Republican official statewide, and arguably the most talented politician in the WSRP. McKenna is widely considered to be biding his time in preparation for a 2012 gubernatorial run, a race for which, four years out, many political insiders rank him the frontrunner, despite his obvious handicap (ie, his Republicanism). McKenna would have to be absolutely crazy to risk his gubernatorial bid on a quixotic challenge of Murray. And McKenna is not crazy.
Of course, if DKos/R2K was going to run a poll, they had to do a head to head with somebody, and for the life of me I don’t have any better suggestions. Dino Rossi? Cathy McMorris-Rodgers? Mike!™ McGavick? I don’t expect any of them to run, and I wouldn’t expect them to win if they did. But who else does the WSRP have?
Just goes to show you how weak the Republican bench is in Washington state these days.

I guess after taking a break from the last elections, the pollsters have to have something to do. But it’s way to early to have any meaning to most of us. The only ones interested at this point are the potential candidates who have to decide whether to start their preliminary organization/fundraising in advance of their announcement, and in the hopes that the results will discourage their competition.
But as we all know, subsequent events tend to make these early polls rather meaningless.
Broadway Joe spews:
And of course, there’s always the possibility that Rossi could come out to get yet another beating……
How weak is the Republican bench?
Two words:
Jim McDermott.
Marvin Stamn spews:
Is this the same dailypus that time magazine called one of the 5 most overrated blogs on the internet?
Kos’s blog has lost its mission, and its increasingly rudderless posts read like talking points from the Democratic National Committee.
When a left wing magazine points out that dailypus is like reading talking points from the DNC you know kos have jumped the shark.
3. drool spews:
How far left of center is washington?
John spews:
Reichert is a political lightweight with demonstrated shallow support even within his own district.
Well, I’m sure this will all work to Darcy Burner’s advantage, eh?
Chris Stefan spews:
@4
And this has what to do with the poll they commissioned?
If they are so wrong name a single republican with a snowballs chance in hell of defeating Murray.
Rodney Tom is going to eat Reichert for lunch in 2010.
eponymous_coward spews:
3&5:
And it just BUUUURNS you up inside, doesn’t it, that the city that elected Dan Evans, Ralph Munro and Slade Gorton to the Washington Legislature would never vote for anyone after an R after their name, after the last 30 years of incompetence and blowhard right-wing douchebaggery, huh?
Anyways-
I don’t see Cathy McMorris Rodgers giving up a fairly safe House seat to go after Murray (and Reichert’s only chance is to hang on for dear life in the 8th- I think his stimulus vote and being part of the Republican Lemming Parade of this Congress is his doom- he’s hung on a couple of cycles like Heather Wilson did, but the right candidate is going to knock him out). If Linda Smith couldn’t take her out when Washington was a somewhat redder state in 1998, with a political base IN Western Washington (granted, Vancouver isn’t the major population center of Puget Sound, but it’s not insubstantial, either), and against a first-term incumbent in Murray (when they are at their weakest, typically) it ain’t happening now. Rossi is a case of trying to make a souffle rise THREE times.
I would actually guess the WSRP will draft a reasonable facsimile of a candidate that they know will lose with 95% certainty, ala John Carlson/Gary Locke in 2000. Basically, someone who is available as a stand-in in case of death or major scandal lightning striking, but isn’t a COMPLETE joke- they don’t want to completely punt the seat by fielding a joke. I’d suggest Doug Sutherland, except he kind of has a Brock Adams/Mike Lowry/Bob Packwood problem.
I suppose they could run John Stanton if they wanted to be serious, except I suspect that in this economy, having someone fund their own campaign isn’t as feasible as it used to be. I suppose someone like Reagan Dunn could try tilting at this windmill, ala Ron Sims in 1994 (and Ron was able to parlay himself into better things after getting crushed after that one).
I believe the term used for someone like Patty Murray is “Senator for life”. She’s going to end her career either as Chair of the Appropriations Committee or as Majority Leader.
mr. smitty spews:
McKenna would probably be an interesting challenger, but as posted above he’s most likely biding his time for the governor’s race in 2012. i don’t think Reichert or Luke Esser would have a prayer of winning.
there always could be an unknown (like Rossi in 2004) who makes a surprising run, but Murray is obviously much more established than Gregoire was then.
the republican besides McKenna who could be viable is Sam Reed. He’s not very popular among Republicans, but they’d get behind him for a race against Murray, and he might be able to do well among the independents.
If the Republicans put up a moderate instead of nutcases from the base they’d stand a chance. Lambs to the slaughter like Craswell/Carlson may be good for the entertainment value but are a waste of money.
My guess is that the potential Republican challengers are going to sit back and see what the economy is doing, around mid-2009. If the economy continues to deteriorate into mid-2009, they figure they’ve got a chance by arguing that Obama and the Democrats made it worse. But that could come back to haunt them, if the economy does a turn-around by mid-2010.
Just a thought – what about John McKay? Since he was fired by the Bush administration, he could arguably pick up some independent votes by arguing that he’s an “independent” Republican.
Reed isn’t viable because his career is oriented towards being involved as an elections official- first Thurston County Auditor, now Secretary of State, plus the Republicans would primary his ass in a nanosecond after what happened to Rossi.
Possibly, but the closest they have is Reichert and McKenna, and they are both pretty dim longshots.
sarge spews:
Goldy: You underestimate all of them.
If McKenna is the frontrunner for Gov, he isn’t a lightweight. Reichert is a 3 term incumbent, and a very well known and reasonably popular politician.
Sen. Murray is an awesome senator. It is her strength, more than the Republican weakness that is responsible for the results of that poll.
Yeah, Reichert beat Burner, but I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out who we can run to beat either Reichert or, if he doesn’t run, Reagan Dunn in 2010.
Please, Goldy, tell me who that candidate is, because I want to send him/her some money!
And who are we going to run against McKenna?
The fact is, the Dem’s are pretty thin, too.
Patty Murray is one extremely formidable opponent. Yeah, she is short, but pound for pound, she packs more power than just about anyone I can think of.
And the poll bears that out.
CC "Bud" Baxter spews:
McKenna is a prick because he allows state agency HR departments to use the Attorney General office to attack state worker rights.
ByeByeGOP spews:
I can’t wait until the next election. We’ll have 65 seats in the Senate. WOW will THAT be fun!
Rosie Redfinger spews:
McKenna’s other problem is that he looks like a Caspar Milquetoast. Even Gregoire looks like she could physically whip his ass.
State Sen. Rodney Tom is quite likely to throw his hat in the ring vs. Reichart in 2010.
Barring a major scandal there isn’t a single GOP candidate who is a credible challenge to Sen. Murray. She’s incredibly popular and a real fighter.
As for trying to defeat McKenna the best bet is probably Seattle City Attorney Tom Carr or former City Attorney Mark Sidran. Though who knows there might be someone out there like Gregoire who is a relative unknown at the moment (Gregiore defeated the much better known Norm Maleng in her first run for AG).
Mr. Cynical spews:
Check out this link:

He’s a piece of shit.
Michael spews:
I can’t see anyone on the radar that would be a credible challenger to Murray either.
I’m not a fan of the congressman/senator for life gig. Murray’s done a fantastic job for our state, but she’s been there long enough. I’d like to see her step down and endorse a good replacement, Jay Inslee and Adam Smith come to mind.
This Republican is headed to the slammer.

Michael Steele’s buddy. A fraud and a tax cheat. I’m sure Cynical would have told you about him except that would have exposed Cynical’s lies about how only Democrats cheat on taxes. Come on, Cynical, give us a laugh. Tell us how this crook’s shit smells like roses to you.
“In a sentencing that spanned two days, it was as if two different people were before U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake. To his wife, his attorneys and the dozens of tearful supporters who filled the courtroom, Fabian was a beloved father and husband, a devoted Christian and a man of good works. To the federal prosecutors and agents who pieced together Fabian’s frauds, he was, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Biran told the court, a man “totally lacking in moral character.” ”
Just like Cynical. So near to God and yet he’s a man “totally lacking in moral character”.

“A major part of the immigration into Denmark over the past 15-20 years, particularly at the beginning of the period, has come from less developed countries and has consisted of people with a low participation in the labor market causing a relatively large drag on public welfare expenditures.

SO, VOILA! Patty is Good.
Whatever Goldy.
There are 3 reasons we’re in the mess we’re in:
1. the fascists want it this way.
2. the sell outs / chickenshits who’ve been elected to beat the fascists are chickenshits, sell outs, or a mix of both,
3. US! for working for and supporting sell outs and chickenshits!
(well, there are also the dummies who think that the fascists give a shit about the dummies for more than ass wipes, doormats, boot lickers, servants and cannon fodder … oh well)
Patty is formidable cuz there aren’t 15,000 with a spare 10 million kicking around to challenge her, cuz, if there were, 75 out of ANY 100 could give her a run for her seat.
rmm.
You must mean THIS Texas crook:
“The federal investigation, however, did not stop Sir Allen from using corporate money to become a big man at last year’s Democratic convention in Denver.
“A video posted on the firm’s website shows Sir Allen, now sought by US Marshals, being hugged by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and praised by former President Bill Clinton for helping to finance a convention-related forum and party put on by the National Democratic Institute. ”

Yeah, it was DailyKos who jumped the shark and not Time. Riiiiiight.
Liberals are so predictable…
While bush was prsident it was 24/7 about how he’s not doing enough for the poor blacks screwed katrina.
Now with a black president things will be different.
Hope and Change.
Hope better fix things because the biggest payday-advance loan in the history of mankind forgot about all those poor black people waiting for help.
Of course, the very same liberals that hated bush for not helping are now quiet as church mice.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The economic stimulus signed by President Barack Obama will spread billions of dollars across the country to spruce up aging roads and bridges. But there’s not a dime specifically dedicated to fixing leftover damage from Hurricane Katrina.
And there’s no outrage about it.
No outrage about it.
Democrats will win in this state. Get used to it.
36. Daddy Love spews:
Overrated. Not my words, the words of a liberal magazine.
Of course kos had to reply. He profits off the people on his blog.
Aw, Marve. Now it’s close to 30 days into Obama’s administration, and he still somehow hasn’t completely righted what GW had FOUR YEARS to do something about. How can that be?
It must prove that Obama is a failure. What does it say about your hero GW?
Overrated. Not my words, the words of a liberal magazine
Wow. Irony rolls right off of you.
Yes, Kos was descibed as overrated BY THE SAME MAGAZINE THAT PREDICTED THAT BUSH WOULD FOLLOW THE IRAQ STUDY GOUP’S RECOMMENDATIONS.
Their track record of prognostication is at best, questionable. Get it yet, fuckhead? IOW, your source is crap.
@ 33 And there is an example of a rich Republican swindling his sheepish looser listeners out of their money!!!
It don’t get better than that!!
Republican sheep are fit for slaughter by their Leaders!
Some things never change.
Yet, if the stimulus package had the $200 billion that it would take to fix GW Bush’s failures in NOLA, you’d be bitching about that. Sad.
I think someone should ask Patty Murray how does she feel about…
7,655,896 American children have been aborted since the start of the Iraq War.
It’s a continuing pattern. Republican lies to their sheep.
The sheep believe the republican lies.
The sheep get sheered
Repeat the cycle.
@ 44 Really that many fetuses were aborted during the Bush administration? There has to be a very strong connection!
oh, and keep dancing Pubbydub! The more you dance the funnier you look while you get your ass handed to you, you powerless looser!
Funny how the Republicans held the executive, legislative and the judicial branch and MILLIONS of abortions take place.
Those murderous thugs!!! It is an outrage!
Rob McKenna is definitely NOT a lightweight. He just disposed of a very formidable Democratic challenger in 2008 by a considerably greater margin than Christine Gregoire won her last race for re-election for Attorney General in 2000 against some fellow who didn’t even bother to campaign. A feat that is even more impressive given that 2000 was a Democratic year and 2008 was an even more Democratic year.
All that being said, voters in this state would be rather unlikely to back McKenna for U.S. Senate against Patty Murray. Voters in this state has shown a decided dislike for the Republican platform at the national level for the last several election cycles, and 2010 probably won’t be any different.
On the other hand, McKenna would be a formidable candidate for Governor in 2012, especially if Gregoire does not seek a third term. Dino Rossi didn’t exactly lose by a landslide this year, and 2004 was very close. McKenna would definitely be a stronger candidate than Rossi, and maybe voters might be willing to give a Republican a chance in Olympia after 28 years.
surreal amerikkkan, 65% of those abortion happen in Democratic areas. Look it up on guvmint sites. And… California doesn’t report their abortion numbers to the US guvmint.
I thought we’d see change Jan 20th 2009, but we see mo da same.
surreal amerikkkan what years did they hold these positions moron?
Millions of murdered fetuses! All during the Republican’s fiendish watch! and Pubbydub plays demographic games!
I guess abortions are OK if they get murdered during a Republican administration!
Shame on you Pubbydub! Shame!
One would almost think that the Republican’s just play lip service to the religious rights agenda, in exchange for their votes. But in the end they couldn’t give a damn about what the religious right wants.
Just so long as they can fool the sheep long enough to get their votes, and then.. sheering time again!
Republican’s are too busy giving blowjobs at airport restrooms and hiring hookers to spank them while they wear diapers to worry about what the sheep want.
@41 THE SAME MAGAZINE THAT PREDICTED THAT BUSH WOULD FOLLOW THE IRAQ STUDY GOUP’S RECOMMENDATIONS.
The article made no such claim, you dope, and only reported the administration’s plan to change direction. The administration had insisted all along they would listen to the study group recommendations. Don’t confuse that with following them.
“But the White House won’t wait for the Baker-Hamilton road show to signal that it is changing course. A White House official told TIME over the weekend that the new path the President will outline in coming weeks is ‘significantly different than what we’ve been doing. When the President says we’re going to get the job done, that doesn’t suggest it is an open-ended commitment forever.’ The inevitability of serious change, it emerges, had become clear even to one so dug in as Rumsfeld. The New York Times reported last week that two days before he was ousted, the Defense Secretary submitted a memo to the White House saying the Iraq strategy was failing and calling for ‘major adjustment,’ including possible troop pullbacks.”

In another thread you asked if Daddy Love had mettle.
I think you know the answer… Drinks the kook-aid too.
Once again surreal amerikkkan gets it wrong on abortion of real American children. The vast majority of abortions happen in blue states. The 7,655,896 American children aborted since the start of the Iraq War doesn’t include California, a blue Democratic.
HAs clueless village idiot says Democratic don’t listen to us. surreal amerikkkan never contradicts HAs clueless village idiot. HAs clueless village idiot must be saying sumtin surreal amerikkkan agrees with. Maybe surreal amerikkkan doesn’t agree with HAs clueless village idiot but surreal amerikkkan is to dense to figger it out unless he is continually reminded of HAs clueless village idiot words. So nuthin Bush said would have stopped blue state abortions. It’s so easy to have surreal amerikkkan dance to his own stupidity. Maybe that’s why he impolitely asks a black man to show him how to dance to facts.
See how simple that was to explain?
Can you say decimation? D.e.c.i.m.a.t.i.o.n
surreal amerikkkan@53,
It’s a known fact Democratic pay lip service to the inner city black person to git dere votes. That’s why the inner city has crumbing infrastructure, cockroaches, rat infested tenements, poorly equipped skuuls, drug infested neighborhoods, high felony crime rates, and poverty enclaves.
The rich democratic who left the city for the burbs charge high rents for tenements and don’t fix the problems unless they are ankle braceleted and force to live in the squalor.
The sheep herders, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson obey dere massas. You know about this living with blacks 24×7.
surreal amerikkkan, since Democratic have held Congress the most # of years since 1945, Atty Gen’l Eric Holder is calling you and your HA ilk race cowards. So what will Patty Murray do about this in her next run 2010? I bet nuthin. She’ll stay a race coward.
Now we understand your 24×7 cowardly positions because you don’t like blacks. But what about the rest of HAs leftist pinheads? Since Eric Holder is a well-connected WA DC insider, he must have seen cowardly acts when he was in da Clinton Admin as a Clintonoid. He speaks about the “unfinished business on the uncomfortable subject of race”, at his Justice Department.
Gotta love the freaking right wing nuts. There is a huge economic crisis and all these idiots can do is to keep changing the subject to abortion. I guess it really is the most important issue to some of them to the exclusion of all others.
I think a majority of people regardless of their feelings are sick and tired of arguing over abortion or at the very least have somewhat more immediate problems that concern them.
And puddy you sound like Louis Farrakhan with your insinuation that being pro-choice is part of some nefarious eugenics program targeting people of color.
You know being pro-choice might have more to do with the radical notion that women are people too and have a right to sovereignty over their own bodies.
YLB spews:
60 – That’s totally lost on lunatics like the trolls we have here.
Funny how the KLOWNS feel that just because someone is a Businessman from Texas, that he must be a Republican. The KLOWNS are the QUEENS of ass/u/me.
Stanford was big-time buddies with Pelosi and Clinton KLOWNS.
Look before you leap!
Chris Stefan…
Go back and see who supported eugenics and which race it was directed at.
Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
But you Chris are one of these: People [Chris] always seemed to know half of history, and to get it confused with the other half.
Chris if you have a daughter would you want her to kill your illegitimate grandchild through abortion?
Yes []
No []
As everyone can see HAs clueless village idiot is the biggest sycophant here.
Anything Democratic – yes boss, I agree.
Now back to the thread topic…
Didn’t some libtard HA village idiots make the point that Bush was inhibiting independent government inspectors? Sure y’all did. Dr NotRight, leadless douchy, rhp6033, and others…
Well I guess you must be comforted by this crap in the Porkulus bill.
I guess Senator Patty Murray supports this crapola. Why doesn’t someone ask her if she read the bill first before voting for it? Naaah, HA village idiots don’t care if she read it let alone comprehended it.
Hey Patty Sneakers,
Arizona high school students question Obama’s Porkulus plan. If you determine WA students feel the same will you admit your mistake voting for Porkulus?
Hey Sneakers Patty,
Since Obama was coronated the DJIA has tanked more than Sept-Oct 2008.
Yessiree… The Plan is working us out of our savings.

I know my history quite well, thank you very much. That doesn’t change my views on abortion one whit nor is it likely to make me a republican unless there is a major change in the party.
I’m well aware of the shameful history of eugenics. I’m also well aware that Margaret Sanger was an advocate of eugenics. Though to be fair her take was somewhat different than some of the other eugenics advocates.
And before you go off claiming this somehow proves your point, remember that Lincoln would be considered a racist by today’s standards.
As to your question, I’d want my daughter to make the choice she felt was best for her. If that choice was to get an abortion I would support her in her decision.
I want to know if Sneakers Patty has an opinion on John Deutsch breacher of top secret materials.
L.D.fan spews:
yep,ya just gotta love murray.I thought tying the h1b visa program to the funding for troops was brilliant.too bad she withdrew it.we can all use more cheap labor at microsoft.and it was masterfull the way she bucked her own party in the wenatchee hospital debacle to keep doctors from fraudulent practices of directing patients to their own clinics for uncalled for procedures.
oh well,one man’s trash is another man’s gold.
I’m not sure which party is filled with the more fools.As far as I can tell neither party is worth a shit
That’s right, spew all of the hate and spread all of the rumors you want about Sen. Patty Murray. She’s one tough lady, she can take it.
No matter what you do it isn’t likely to change her popularity in this state or the minuscule chance any potential opponent has of defeating her.
If Murray is so smart, why did she vote for the PORKULOUS Package?
If she is so smart, why didn’t she dive in and cut out the pork??
Empty sneakers….that’s why.
She voted for it because she didn’t want the recession to turn into a depression. She voted for it because unlike you and your ilk who are still pulling the wings off butterflies and setting fires she doesn’t take a juvenile delinquents delight in watching the world burn.
As for pork, please define what exactly you mean. None of this picayune crap of pointing to some thing or another that amounts to less than 0.01% of the bill either. Then again I suppose anything that wasn’t a tax cut for corporations or the top 1% was “pork” to you lot.
Do you even understand the concept of government stimulus? Do you realize that to be effective it generally has to be spread broadly across the country and the economy?
Though I suppose we could have just thrown the whole wad at Wall Street and hoped for the best.
Oh, and nice try. Stimulus bill or not she’ll walk to another term as Washington’s senior senator.
Right Stuff spews:
Friday, 2/20/09 at 3:22 pm
Yeah, Senator Murray sure polls strong against no contender….
This poll is meaningless.
Mark1 spews:
Yeah right. Patty “dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks” Murray couldn’t even kick her own ass, let alone another’s. A cloud of mindless delusions has fallen over Goldy’s house and all the rest of you ignorant, fanatical, kool-aid drinkers. BTW, how many regular spewers here are actually employed with a real job/profession? Just curious.
I know Rodent and YLB aren’t for starters….and Goldy….have a good weekend all. :)
@76 “Murray couldn’t even kick her own ass, let alone another’s.”
In your dreams. She kicked butt on every Republican to run against her.
“BTW, how many regular spewers here are actually employed with a real job/profession?”
Of course, in your delusional state of mind it is only whack wing-nuts who have a real job or profession. Are you bat-shit crazy or something? Oh wait, you’re a Republican. Of course you’re bat-shit crazy.
Damn… (from the link)
The appointment of John Deutch to an advisory panel on spy satellites violates President Obama’s pledge to hold everyone in his administration to the highest ethical standards.
Deutch, who headed the CIA from May 1995 to December 1996, agreed in writing in January 2001 to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents. Just after that, President Clinton pardoned him and 175 others as Clinton was leaving office. Deutch’s infraction was thus more serious than Tim Geithner’s or Tom Daschle’s failure to pay income taxes.
“Deutch essentially walked away from what is one of the most egregious cases of mishandling of classified information that I have ever seen, short of espionage,” Sen. Richard C. Shelby, R-Ala., chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said after the pardon was announced.
Why do so many democrats steal classified documents, what do they have to hide.
Must be nice for the democrats to have the liberal media hide the truth from Americans. How much further would obama drop in the polls if this became public knowledge.
Not this time either.
76. Mark1 spews:
How do you define real job?
I’m in the music business.
Speaking of the business… when the oscars are on this sunday, check out the orchestra. Ask yourself, why don’t the hollywood limousine liberals put black musicians in the orchestra.
@75 & @76
Nice try, but it will just be a waste of time and money to run against her.
Say what you will, but Sen. Murray is very popular with the voters and has handily defeated all of her Republican challengers. If you have any doubts just ask Rod Chandler, Linda Smith, or George Nethercutt.

Independent from France since 1958, Guinea did not hold democratic elections until 1993 when Gen. Lansana CONTE (head of the military government) was elected president of the civilian government. He was reelected in 1998. Unrest in Sierra Leone has spilled over into Guinea, threatening stability and creating a humanitarian emergency.

Economy Guinea
Economy - overview:
Guinea possesses major mineral, hydropower, and agricultural resources, yet remains an underdeveloped nation. The country possesses over 30% of the world's bauxite reserves and is the second largest bauxite producer. The mining sector accounted for about 75% of exports in 1999. Long-run improvements in government fiscal arrangements, literacy, and the legal framework are needed if the country is to move out of poverty. The government made encouraging progress in budget management in 1997-99, and reform progress was praised in the World Bank/IMF October 2000 assessment. However, escalating fighting along the Sierra Leonean and Liberian borders has caused major economic disruptions. In addition to direct defense costs, the violence has led to a sharp decline in investor confidence. Foreign mining companies have reduced expatriate staff, while panic buying has created food shortages and inflation in local markets. Multilateral aid - including Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt relief - and single digit inflation should permit 5% growth in 2002.

Water has always been scarce in our Mediterranean regions. Sources, wells, cisterns sparingly fed towns and villages. But towards the end of the 19th century, with the development of coastal towns such as Cannes and the Grasse industry, water shortages became a problem for all. A canal deviating the Siagne waters became a necessity.
In 1850 two projects thus emerged. The first one, the "Bosc project", aimed to deviate water from Saint-Cézaire in order to supply the town itself as well as Cabris and Le Tignet.
The second one, the "Ponts et Chaussées project", planned to draw water from Auribeau in order to supply it as well as Pégomas, La Roquette, Le Cannet and Cannes. Neither met with success. Ten years later, the population of Cannes had doubled. Benefiting from the support of emperor Napoléon III during a stay in Nice, recently attached to France, the project re-emerged.
On the 31st of January 1862, the city of Cannes passed a treaty with the Dussard and Cellier company, related to the town's water distribution and the construction of the canal. The deviation project from Auribeau, studied by the Ponts et Chaussées (Highways Agency), was abandoned. The project was rethought on the scale of Siagne pond and included Grasse. Its source was in Saint-Cézaire, the spot specified in the Bosc project. But unlike the latter, it does not plan to supply any of the neighbouring towns, as the canal is designed to flow underground.
A pleasant 1.5 hour walk will enable you to discover the Siagne Canal.
From rue des Prés (by the Town hall), head towards vieux-Cannet and rue Saint-Sauveur. Then take traverse Saint-Antoine and follow the country lane. Although the slope is sometimes a bit steep, a large part of the road is in the shade, and there are several bodies of water at which you will be able to refresh yourself. The high point of this walk is the magnificent view from the Chichourliers promontory over the Cannes bay and the hills of Mougin and Grasse. On your way back down to place Leclerc on the last part of this walk, you will be able to admire the villas of the beginning of the century.

I don’t know if all Central Committee members will get this in their e-mail, but at 12:35 this morning I received a missive (ostensibly) from Louis Pope claiming to be a “Response to Morton Blackwell’s incorrect diatribe!” When it begins with Pope asserting that:
Morton has now tried to inappropriately interject himself in the Maryland Chairman’s race. I have Never seen this type of behavior in any previous election. Morton Blackwell is the one who has recently made numerous resolutions to support of the Liberty Pack and the Ron Paul supporters trying to change several of the RNC Rules that were passes (sic) overwhelmingly by the Rules Committee in Tampa.
…you know it’s going to be a doozy.
At this point, it’s really beyond what happened at the RNC last week – the damage was done long ago, and Pope fails to mention that he was one of the 28 votes to provide the margin which killed the outright repeal of the Tampa rules as they didn’t get a majority in the Standing Rules Committee. Granted, had Nicolee Ambrose retained her membership the margin would have been 26-27 but one never knows if a vote was made to please an RNC master knowing there were 27 others to provide cover.
The other statement about Blackwell which interested me was the one where Pope denied accusing Alex Mooney of a quid pro quo involving the ascension of Nicolee Ambrose to the Standing Rules Committee at Pope’s expense. This is what Pope wrote in the original letter – judge for yourself:
Alex (Mooney) called me just before he announced his resignation effective immediately on February 22nd and said the RNC member Morton Blackwell of Virginia has (sic) asked that he sign Nicolee’s form. Alex and Morton Blackwell are in a business deal regarding the book Alex is preparing on door-to-door campaigning. He also told me in the same conversation that while he was doing this as a favor to Mr. Blackwell, Diana Waterman could reverse the situation…
Honestly, was there a need to bring up the business deal at all? Why the backhanded slap at a fellow RNC member? The point that the situation could have been reversed could certainly have been made without the insinuation that this was payback for services rendered. Obviously Morton Blackwell had a preference and a long-standing relationship with Alex, just as Pope obviously has his own (unnamed) friends in “leadership on the Rules Committee, all of who (sic) encouraged me to remain on the Rules Committee.” No word on what dealings Pope has with them.
But now Pope is doubling down, attaching a fundraising letter he considers a smoking gun of some sort. “This issue slandered No One and simply shows the connection and association and explains why Mr. Blackwell felt he has reason or right to inject himself into our own MDGOP Chairman’s race and previously the Rules Committee seat,” Pope adds in his most recent missive.
Yet Blackwell has made no formal endorsement in the race and simply reacted to what he saw in the letter as a false accusation! Morton, though, reveals something Pope failed to point out:
Your interim Chair, Diana Waterman, joined with Pope to pass the (Washington D.C. National Committeeman Ben) Ginsberg changes.
Although some members of the Convention Rules Committee, including me, strongly objected to Ben Ginsberg’s obviously centralizing power grabs, most members of that committee went along with everything Ginsberg wanted.
Mr. Pope and Mrs. Waterman have made clear that they support the radical, destructive power-grabs that occurred at the national convention.
You would be well-served to elect a principled Chairman who works in the interest of the conservative grassroots.
Don’t you want a Chairman who will work to make the Republican Party about the grassroots ultimately telling the RNC how to operate, instead of the other way around?
I know I would. But this whole affair has reminded me of the Rule 11 imbroglio in 2010: moves which directly affect the future of the Maryland GOP made without input from the rank-and-file. Honestly, there aren’t a whole lot of decisions I would ask the Chair consult with the Central Committees about making but this is one of them given the work Nicolee did at the January RNC organizational meeting.
In short, it was a failure in leadership.
While I’m on the subject of questionable decisions made by the party, I should mention that I received a note from Chair candidate Collins Bailey which cleared the air on one subject:
I was also informed that (MDGOP Executive Director David) Ferguson was not paid to go to South Carolina which I think is positive. He went at his own expense.
This refers back to the March 23 Martin O’Malley campaign stop in South Carolina, which featured Ferguson shadowing him and led to the postponement of Wicomico County’s Pathfinders event. Glad Collins cleared that up and shared it, even though I still disagree with the trip’s intent. South Carolina has a GOP which can handle itself, in my estimation – and I still haven’t heard of any Palmetto State guests at our Lincoln Day dinners.

Someone please get Louis Pope a proofreader for God’s sake. The man is embarrassing himself and the party. Did he really say “pack” again, referring to a PAC?? My God…

If any of the lot was worth their grain in salt then this would be worth reading more about, but the truth of the matter is it’s like picking between bad and worse. A lot of time wasted fighting over scraps.

Girl Hunters, The
Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies > Suspense > Girl Hunters, The
1956. THE GIRL HUNTERS (1963-England). With MICKEY SPILLANE, SHIRLEY EATON, Lloyd NOLAN, Hy GARDNER. Directed by ROY ROWLAND. Co-scripted by SPILLANE and ROWLAND. Tense, hard-bitten crime drama with bristling dialogue and a most unusual twist: the hero of the story is played by the writer who created him. He is Mickey Spillane, Brooklyn-born mystery novelist, and he is cast as one of his most famous creations: Mike Hammer, brawny, durable, determined private eye. As depicted here, Hammer also is most vulnerable and human. Years before, his cherished secretary, Velda, had mysteriously disappeared, resulting in a non-stop, long-standing bout of despair Hammer has become an acute alcoholic, a “filthy drunken bum” who “belongs in the garbage.” He finds himself thrust back into the world he knows best-a seamy atmosphere of violence, dames and duplicity. Hammer is called upon to question a shotgun victim named Richie Cole, who is hospitalized and on the brink of death- Ballistic tests have determined that Cole was plugged with the same gun used to murder a powerful United Stales Senator, described as a “frightening political force. Before he dies, Cole tells Hammer that Velda is still alive, but in danger of being killed. In an instance the P.I. turns deadly sober; as the body count steadily mounts, he attempts to ascertain his secretary fate while determining the killer or killers of Cole and the senator. Among those playing key roles the story are various cops and federal agents, with various hidden agendas. The late senator’s widow is a “really stacked” coquette who relishes parading around in the skimpiest of bikinis; and, finally, The Dragon, the elusive commander of a band of “commie spies.” Caution: The print has some drop-out. Our print is “shadowboxed.” 97 minutes Crime Mystery Suspense
Duration 97 minutes Year 1963 Actors Mickey-Spillane; Shirley-Eaton; Scott-Peters Director Roy-Rowland Writers Mickey-Spillane Genre Suspense

Here’s what Ming Pao says about Olivia
她的支持者將教堂擠得水泄不通﹔各路傳媒更是強陣出擊﹐媒體密集程度可與體育明星等出場媲美﹐政界新聞現場少見如此高密度覆蓋的場面。
To wit:
“Her supporters packed the church in St. James town….media coverage comparable to a star level athlete. In the political world, we hardly see such high profile media coverage.”
I’ll buy that.
Walt Meganzo says:
How kind of you to translate into one of two of Canada’s official languages!
“HONG KONG — About 300 protesters in black staged a sit-in outside the Ming Pao offices in support of press freedom. The demonstrators said they wore black to reflect their dismay at the paper’s recent decision to replace Kevin Lau Chun-to as chief editor. Those taking part in the sit-in at the Chai Wan offices were current and past staff, and pro- democracy lawmakers including the Civic Party’s Claudia Mo Man-ching, former Ming Pao publisher and ex-legal sector lawmaker Margaret Ng Oi-yee, commentator Ching Cheong and Hong Kong Journalists’ Association chairwoman Sham Yee-lan. They put up banners stating “Press and speech freedom are crucial to Hong Kong” …the new chief editor will be Chong Tien-siong, a known supporter of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If this is true, Ming Pao will become the second mainstream newspaper in Hong Kong, after the South China Morning Post, to be run by pro-CCP chief editors. Hong Kong citizens believe this reflects the CCP’s internal power struggles, and long-standing attempts by the CCP to control Chinese-language media outside mainland China.”
“Basic dictatorship” on track? Theoretically, when a CCP courier and/or a communiqué is intercepted, things will get interesting vis a vis the propaganda organs? Yes?
Trust no one. Buy nothing.

China Accuses US Military of Manufacturing the Coronavirus in a Lab
Chinese media suggested U.S. army research laboratory had created the virus
The Chinese Communist state media have pushed further with their bizarre propaganda campaign to flip the narrative and blame the deadly coronavirus on the United States.
The state-run Global Times on Sunday suggested U.S. army research laboratory had created the virus.
Earlier this week, Neon Nettle reported on baseless claims made by Zhao Lijian seemingly disregards the fact that the virus originated in China.
Lijian falsely claimed on Twitter:
“When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!”
The Global Times then floated the conspiracy theory that reversed suspicions that the laboratory located near Wuhan, might have either accidentally or deliberately released the virus as a tailored bio-weapon.
The Chinese propaganda flips the theories and applies them to a U.S. Army facility in Fort Detrick, Maryland:
The Fort Detrick laboratory that handles high-level disease-causing material, such as Ebola, in Fredrick, Maryland, was shut after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a cease and desist order to the organization in July, 2019 according to local media.
The suspension was due to multiple causes, including failure to follow local procedures and a lack of periodic recertification training for workers in the biocontainment laboratories. The wastewater decontamination system of the lab also failed to meet standards set by the Federal Select Agent Program, media reported.
The lab, which was closed more than half a year ago, recently caught public attention as a petition submitted to the White House website on March 10, listed some coincidences in time between the closure and the COVID-19 outbreak.
For example, “a large-scale ‘influenza’ killed more than 10,000 people” in the US in August 2019 following the closure; and the COVID-19 epidemic broke out globally in February 2020 after the US organized Event 201 – A Global Pandemic Exercise – in October 2019.
The petition also noted that many English-language news reports about the closure of Fort Detrick were deleted amid the worsening COVID-19 pandemic, raising suspicions over the lab’s relationship with the novel coronavirus.

— Neon Nettle (@NeonNettle) March 16, 2020
Petitioners urged the US government to publish the real reason for the lab’s closure and to clarify whether the lab was related to the novel coronavirus and whether there was a virus leak.
The article ends with quotes from Chinese academics, which seems to frame the United States of being secretive about the coronavirus epidemic, rather than China.
Last week, the Chinese ambassador was summoned by the US State Department after a spokesperson with China’s foreign ministry suggested coronavirus was brought to Wuhan by the U.S. military.
China’s ambassador to South Africa also downplayed the country’s role in the coronavirus epidemic.
“Although the epidemic first broke out in China, it did not necessarily mean that the virus originated from China, let alone ‘made in China,’” he tweeted.
The Chinese government has already published a book touting its handling of the virus.
“A Battle Against Epidemic: China Combatting COVID-19 in 2020” selects glowing state media reports along with President Xi Jinping’s accomplishments.
It seems there are obvious signs China has implemented its propaganda campaign to protect its reputation.

General Session recap: Tim Russert: “The debate in Washington is poisonous”
by John Elsasser
I posted a quick recap of Tim Russert’s General Session speech here at Tactics and The Strategist Online.
In addition to his discussion on the current state of politics in the United States, Russert shared several amusing anecdotes. He’s an entertaining speaker who knows how to deliver a punchline.
For instance, Russert recalled a time when he asked legendary newsman David Brinkley about the challenges of fitting everything going on in the world into a one-hour news show such as “Meet the Press.” Brinkley pointed out that an hour is an oasis because most interviews are three to four minutes fleeting by on cable or the Internet. “Take full advantage of that hour and understand the limits,” Brinkley told him. Russert said he asked him for an example. “If Moses came down from the mountaintop with the 10 Commandments,” Brinkley said, “how would television news cover that in 2007?”
“So tell me,” Russert said.
Said Brinkley: “Moses came down from the mountaintop today with the 10 Commandments, and here’s Sam Donaldson with the three most important.”
After the laughter from the audience subsided, Russert didn’t miss a beat: “I have a friend of mine who worked for President Clinton who said, “Which three?'”
