AMERICAN MORNING
Arson Wildfire; Florida Turnpike Killings; Rumsfeld on Iraq; America Votes 2006
Aired October 27, 2006 - 07:59 ET
MILES O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning, Friday, October 27th.
I'm Miles O'Brien.
SOLEDAD O'BRIEN, CNN ANCHOR: And I'm Soledad O'Brien.
Our top story is in southern California, where that deadly wildfire has killed four firefighters. A fifth is critically injured. Fire officials say it is arson. Twenty-four thousand acres have burned there.
M. O'BRIEN: Also on the news wall this morning, some other stories we are following.
A heated session at the Pentagon press room. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sparring with the media.
DONALD RUMSFELD, SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: So you ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax.
M. O'BRIEN: Rumsfeld insisting no timetables have been set for progress in Iraq.
S. O'BRIEN: Wild pigs might have been the source of that deadly E. coli outbreak linked to tainted spinach. Health investigators say the pigs could have tracked bacteria into the spinach fields.
And Chad Myers is at the CNN weather center. He's watching the winds in the East and the rains -- no, the winds in the West for the fire. Bad weather for us here in the East.
I feel like I've done your weather report for you. All right.
M. O'BRIEN: I think he's out of time now.
S. O'BRIEN: All right. Thanks, Chad.
CHAD MYERS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: That's right. Back to you.
S. O'BRIEN: And I -- and I got it backwards. MYERS: That's OK.
(WEATHER REPORT)
S. O'BRIEN: Let's give you a little update on what's happening there.
As we've been telling you, four firefighters are dead. One is in critical condition. We're told his condition did not change overnight.
Officials say the fire is arson. They're searching for the arsonist. If he or she is caught, he could be charged with murder.
AMERICAN MORNING'S Chris Lawrence is at the command center in Beaumont, California, for us.
Hey, Chris. Good morning.
CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Soledad.
Yes, we spoke with the nursing supervisor at that burn center this morning, and she says that the fifth firefighter remains in critical condition and he's got severe burns over about 95 percent of his body. Now, the four other members of this fire-fighting team have all died from their injuries. They were caught yesterday trying to protect a home when these Santa Ana winds just whipped up, shifted, and literally just pushed the fire right on top of them.
The officials say they had almost no time to get back to any kind of safety, and that is the situation here when you're talking about this kind of fire-fighting out here. These winds are dry, they are fast, and they are making things very, very difficult for the firefighters on the front line.
CHIEF JOHN HAWKINS, CDF RIVERSIDE FIRE DEPT.: You feel the enemy. The enemy blows in our face right now. It's a Santa Ana wind. The Santa Ana wind drives the fire. It not only has a pushing effect and feeds more oxygen and fire, but it also dries out the already critically dry vegetation.
LAWRENCE: Those Santa Ana winds are natural for this time of year, but officials say the cause of this fire is not.
They have been interviewing people who live nearby from where they track the fire to its -- to its origin, trying to determine who may have been in the area. They are pursuing those leads, trying to determine exactly who the arsonist was that started this blaze -- Soledad.
S. O'BRIEN: Chris, a quick question for you. You know, you hear the fire chief talk about how it was sort of set perfectly, if you can use that word. Just the right direction, with the wind going. It almost sounds like someone would really have to have a knowledge of the area and a knowledge of how fires burn, right?
LAWRENCE: That's true, but you have to remember, in this area, you know, people who live here are very knowledgeable about these fires. I mean, if you live out here in the desert in southern California, it was like Congresswoman Mary Bono said yesterday, every time the Santa Anas kick up, we always wonder who is next.
This is just a way of life out here. So people are fairly knowledgeable about when the winds whip up and what direction they blow.
S. O'BRIEN: Chris Lawrence for us this morning.
Thanks, Chris, for the update -- Miles.
M. O'BRIEN: Some breaking news this morning, an apparent break potentially in that roadside killing of a single family in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Police in Palm Beach County holding four people considered persons of interest in that shooting death.
CNN's Susan Candiotti is on the phone. She's heading to Palm Beach County right now.
Susan, what do we know?
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Miles.
We know from authorities, sources familiar with the investigation, that these people are being held only at this time as persons of interest in this case. However, they are being held in custody on unrelated federal charges at this time.
At the same time, authorities are looking for a red van. This they announced late last night, the St. Lucie Sheriff's Office. A spokesman for that office says that this red Dodge 1999 convertible van "is directly involved in the murders." The sheriff told me last night that they are looking for this van and anything that they might find in it.
Now, again, the -- several people that are being held -- I can't get a definite number, not released at this time -- are being held in the Palm Beach County Jail. That's where they were picked up, I'm told. And that, of course, is where the family lived, the Escobedo family.
You'll recall, our viewers will, their bodies were discovered on the side of the Florida turnpike two weeks ago. Each person had been shot several times, the mother, the father and two little boys. And since that time authorities have been looking for their killer or killers from -- all the way from Florida, to Brownsville, Texas, from where the family moved back in June.
Again, the murder scene is about 70 miles north of where the family lived.
And there will be a news conference later this morning to reveal more details -- Miles.
M. O'BRIEN: So, Susan, just to be as clear as we can about this, the maroon van we've been talking about this morning, that is separate? They're still looking for that maroon van? These people of interest not linked to it, as far as we know?
CANDIOTTI: We don't know precisely yet. They have released the name of the man who is -- to whom the van is registered. They have not said and will not say as yet whether that man is in custody, only that they're looking for this van.
M. O'BRIEN: Susan Candiotti on her way to Palm Beach County. We'll keep you posted on that all throughout the day here on CNN.
The secretary of defense combative in his meeting with reporters yesterday, who pressed him to shed more light on those benchmarks and deadlines the Iraqi government has supposedly agreed to. Donald Rumsfeld told reporters to back off.
CNN's Barbara Starr is at the Pentagon this morning. Barbara seldom backs off from a story.
Barbara, good to have you with us.
BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, hopefully I never back off, Miles, but it was classic Rumsfeld, the critic, the contrarian. The defense secretary telling and making sure reporters knew that our questions didn't really match his academic standards. But what we in the press core noticed is the secretary simply did not take the opportunity to endorse this concept of timelines, of time frames, of, you know, projection projections, whatever you want to call, any signal that anything had been agreed to about the new Iraqi government making specific progress on security. Something that had just been talked about in Baghdad 48 hours earlier.
The secretary backed away from all of it. Have a listen to what he had to say.
RUMSFELD: You're looking for some sort of a guillotine to come flowing down if some date isn't met. That is not what this is about.
This is complicated stuff. It's difficult. We're looking out in the future. No one can predict the future with absolute certainty. So you ought to just back off.
STARR: But, of course, we stayed. You know, what he's really trying to say in his view is that all of this is a process rather than something that's very specific with deadlines. But that, of course, raises the question, if there isn't some specificity to it, what will give the new Iraqi government the incentive to really crack down on the militias, crack down on the death squads? And that is what everyone believes is essential to making progress on the security situation in Iraq.
So, we've had four major press briefings this week from top officials in Baghdad, top officials here, plus the president, talking about flexibility, talking about change in the tactics. And still, at the end of the week, we're looking to see what exactly is new here -- Miles.
M. O'BRIEN: Well, each statement was slightly different. And the one that's most interesting here is General Casey, the top general in Baghdad who is directly in the chain of command from the secretary of defense, who said, in fact, that there was kind of a timetable at work. He used a one year to 18-month time frame.
Did the secretary of defense explain that? Did they just get their signals crossed?
STARR: I don't know that it was signals crossed. I don't know that the secretary is ever going to step into the notion of timetables.
He doesn't like to be pinned down on this stuff, because when they have generally set these, of course, conditions on the ground change. The violence has grown worse. And there have been many times -- not all the time, but many times when they don't meet their own goals.
What General Casey is talking about now is in 12 to 18 months, he hopes the Iraqi security forces can basically take control of the security of that country. But these types of projections have been made before. Clearly, to date, they haven't been met.
So, people are probably already making that mark on their calendars, 12 months from now, to see whether General Casey's prediction can possibly come true.
M. O'BRIEN: Well, I know it's on your calendar. And I did misspeak. You never, never back down.
Barbara Starr at the Pentagon.
STARR: Thank you. Thank you, Miles.
M. O'BRIEN: I meant it as a compliment, but I blew it -- thank you.
Soledad.
S. O'BRIEN: And I hit him in the arm, Barbara, too.
M. O'BRIEN: Yes.
S. O'BRIEN: Some of the stories we're watching for you this morning.
Michael J. Fox has a few choice words for Rush Limbaugh and critics of his new political ad. We'll tell you what he's saying.
And in Nicaragua, a man who's reviled by the U.S. is on the verge of becoming the president there. Is Daniel Ortega still someone to worry about?
Those stories ahead. Stay with us.
M. O'BRIEN: Some of the top stories we're looking at this morning.
South Korea now says it plans to enforce sanctions against North Korea. The north has previously said that could lead to war.
A hearing to see if Madonna can adopt that little African boy no longer happening today. It's been postponed until next month. We'll keep you posted on that one as well.
Heading out the door? Let's get the traveler's forecast for you. Chad Myers is looking at all things.
We've got a wet, windy situation in the East, snow in the West. What's going on in the middle?
MYERS: Airport delays.
M. O'BRIEN: There you go.
S. O'BRIEN: Only 11 days until the midterm elections. Republicans are turning now to an important issue among conservative voters: immigration.
Chief National Correspondent John King joins us to take a look at the day ahead on the campaign trail.
Nice to see you, as always.
JOHN KING, CNN CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning.
S. O'BRIEN: Let's begin with our political headlines, shall we?
"USA Today," "Once-Safe Bets in GOP Country Pick Up a Bit of a Risk". "The New York Times" says, "GOP Moves Fast to Reignite the Issue of Gay Marriage". And "The Washington Post" says, "Bush Signs a Bill Authorizing a 700-Mile Fence for the Border".
In which races is that last headline going to be critical? KING: Well, it's certainly a key risk in an Arizona House race that is quite important, but probably already gone to the Democrats. I think more broadly, it is an issue of one of the reasons conservatives are saying "eh" about this election is, we elected these Republicans to run the Congress 12 years ago. What have they done for us?
Immigration has been a big issue this year. So conservatives can say, we told you we would give you border security, now we have. We're going to build this fence along the border and then we'll come back next year and do more.
But even as he signed this bill, Soledad, the president put in another plug for his guest worker program, a program that drives most conservatives crazy. And there are Republicans all around the country going, all right, Mr. President, we know you believe in this, but could you just stop talking about it until after the election?
S. O'BRIEN: Eleven days. Give us 11 days and then you could talk about it all you want.
I thought the timing was really interesting. You know, the president's had this bill for a month. I mea, is it just purely politics given a little...
KING: Do you think -- do you think they would hold that and sign it closer to the...
S. O'BRIEN: I don't know.
KING: They also scheduled the big event when initially...
S. O'BRIEN: Shocking.
KING: The president has the Rose Garden strategy. We have called it that for many, many years. And he is almost a non-factor in this campaign, at least as a positive for the Republicans.
This was one chance for him to do something that they think can help them in some races. Again, saying to conservatives, maybe you're mad at us about a bunch of things, but we did this for you. And the closing Republican theme is, you might be mad at us, but if you elect the Democrats, it will be worse.
S. O'BRIEN: There seems to be one race where the president is a positive. Michael Bouchard in Michigan wanted to see the president. And, you know, we've been doing stories and certainly talking about how a lot of other in the GOP kind of running away from him.
KING: You can sort of look at this two ways. Number one, he is invited. Michigan is a big state, and this was early on considered to be a huge Senate race.
Right now, though, Mr. Bouchard is considered to be losing. And the polls have been breaking toward the Democratic incumbent in that race.
So, on the one hand, yes, the president is going into a big state. On the other hand, this is a race that is probably lost for the Republicans. And while there is a good grassroots conservative movement in the state of Michigan, George W. Bush lost the state twice. It is hard to see how his going in there this late is going to do enough to bring a Republican victory.
S. O'BRIEN: Michael J. Fox, we've been talking about what Rush Limbaugh said about him. And then the follow-up, Michael J. Fox sat down with Katie Couric, and here's what he said back to her.
MICHAEL J. FOX, ACTOR: I could give a damn about Rush Limbaugh's pity or anyone else's pity. I'm not a victim. I'm someone who's in this situation. I think I'm in this situation along with millions of other Americans.
And we have a right if there's answers out there to pursue those answers with the full support of our politicians. And so, I don't need anyone's permission to do that.
S. O'BRIEN: Making clear he doesn't think he needs anybody's permission to do that.
What kind of impact does this have on this -- the races where he was specifically doing ads, but also across the country, too?
KING: Well, the Maryland Senate race, the Missouri Senate race, stem cell is a big issue. Many Democrats use it to say -- not so much even about the medical research issues, but some of these conservatives are such ideologues, so beholden to Christian conservatives, so beholden to special interests, they won't open their minds to new ideas and new ways of doing things that might save lives.
So Democrats use it as a tolerance issue and an ideological issue, as much as a medical research issue. There's a handful of races around the country where this could matter. And just by having somebody out by this -- look at all the attention Madonna's adoption is getting. When you have a celebrity like this in the middle of a debate like this, it does bring attention to it.
Democrats think in four or five races it could help them a little bit. It will be very interesting, though. Just like immigration, will it reignite some intensity among conservatives, something that has been lacking? So this could be a two-way here.
S. O'BRIEN: And probably more attention than the original ad did in the first place...
KING: No question. S. O'BRIEN: ... which was probably the goal to get people talking about it.
KING: A fight with Rush Limbaugh gets you a little...
S. O'BRIEN: Yes, always. Almost always, I would say.
Political calendar today. We've got Laura Bush campaigning hard. Vice President Dick Cheney is in Missouri and South Carolina. Karl Rove, also. He's in Wisconsin.
And this Ohio Senate debate. What's the big issue there?
KING: Well, Ohio is another -- it's one of these states where you say, as goes Ohio, so goes the nation. And yet, the -- that has broken in favor of the Democrats.
That's a tougher state to blame on President Bush or to blame on the war in Iraq. Both are factors there, but Ohio is also particularly unique in the sense that you've had corruption probes about the governor. That's where Bob Ney, the congressman, is going to jail for corruption.
So, if you want to go to a state where there is a cesspool of negative political environment, it is Ohio. And it's very tough for Republicans.
S. O'BRIEN: One of a handful, actually, I'm sorry to say.
John King, part of the best political team on TV.
Thanks. Always nice to see you.
KING: Thank you.
S. O'BRIEN: You'll want to tune in tonight 8:00 p.m. Eastern, "How the Right Went Wrong". CNN's political team continues its investigation of America's "Broken Government," with an in-depth look at where the Republican Party may have taken a wrong turn.
That's tonight, 8:00 p.m. Eastern, right here on CNN -- Miles.
M. O'BRIEN: Does the name Daniel Ortega ring a bell? If you are of a certain age you no doubt recall the leader of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, a man who prompted the Reagan White House to fund a covert war in Central America.
Well, Ortega is now poised to take the reins of power once again. And this time he is backed by a new American nemesis.
We get more from CNN's Aneesh Raman in Nicaragua.
ANEESH RAMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): Amid the Cold War, President Reagan called him "the little dictator." And in Nicaragua these days, there's little doubt Daniel Ortega is back. Promising riches to the poor, he is, yet again, campaigning to become president, this time with the financial backing of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
As for his chances, well, so far Ortega is feeling pretty good.
(on camera): It's not just that Ortega is back which has the world watching this election. He's run unsuccessfully twice before. The difference this time is that he might just win.
(voice over): To do that here, you only need a 35 percent vote plurality, a number Ortega is inching towards, according to all the polls. And if you thought age may have tempered the man once called "El Comandante" -- he's now 61 -- listen up.
DANIEL ORTEGA, CANDIDATE (through translator): The poor will not wait. They will bury savage capitalism on November 5th.
EDUARDO MONTEALEGRE, OPPOSITION CANDIDATE: Ortega hasn't changed. He's the same person, the same policies. His friends are the same. He's friends of Castro, he's friends of Chavez, he's friends of the president of Iran. He's friends with Gadhafi.
RAMAN: And so contentious is this race, with Ortega so central to it, that it's bringing back another infamous character from the '80s, Oliver North...
COL. OLIVER NORTH, U.S. MARINES: I do.
RAMAN: ... the U.S. Marine colonel who secretly funded the contra rebels then trying to overthrow Ortega.
Here at this anti-Ortega rally, he is a hero. Here he warned of the stakes.
NORTH: The risks returning to the days of authoritarian and ruthless government...
RAMAN: So add Nicaragua to the list of White House woes, another member, perhaps, in the global anti-Bush club. Daniel Ortega, a man who brought Nicaragua to economic devastation, who presided over a civil war that left nearly 50,000 dead, seems for the moment all but set to lead once again.
Aneesh Raman, CNN, Managua.
M. O'BRIEN: Up next, we'll continue to follow all the day's top stories.
Plus, "Minding Your Business". An NFL coach sues McDonald's after claiming to find some -- ooh, really something nasty in the salad.
Andy has that ahead on AMERICAN MORNING.
Finish your breakfast now.
S. O'BRIEN: Some of the top stories we're watching for you.
President Bush meeting with the head of NATO today. They're discussing the spike of violence in Afghanistan.
New government figures show that the prices of new homes fell nearly 10 percent last month. The last time that drop was that big, Richard Nixon was president.
M. O'BRIEN: A ride for the rich. Andy Serwer knows all about that.
Good to see you, Andy.
ANDY SERWER, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, "FORTUNE": Yes. I'm going to take you out in my Bentley this afternoon? Is that what you're suspecting?
M. O'BRIEN: Would you? Would you kindly? Or have your driver pick me up, if you don't mind.
SERWER: Yes. Yes, right.
This is -- this is -- I don't know how I kind of come up on this story. This has to do with the aircraft carrier the Intrepid, which is parked over there on the Hudson River here in New York City. It's actually the Intrepid Sea and Air Space Museum, which is going to be undergoing major, major renovations and it's going to be actually sailing down the Hudson River on November 6th to Bayonne, New Jersey for the overhaul.
Now, you can ride down the Hudson on the Intrepid if you bid for that right. And the minimum bid starts at $100,000.
M. O'BRIEN: Wow!
SERWER: Now, this is a museum, and they need the money. Still, it's not the most democratic...
S. O'BRIEN: Is it just one person, or can a lot of people ride for $100,000 a pop?
SERWER: $100,000 minimum bid per person.
M. O'BRIEN: One person.
SERWER: And the group will be limited to six.
M. O'BRIEN: So you could drive the Bentley on to the flat top?
SERWER: Well, that's what we're intending on doing, yes, my family.
S. O'BRIEN: I think that's kind of cool. SERWER: It is kind of cool, but, you know, it's not democracy in action.
M. O'BRIEN: But why not have -- why not have a little contest or something to allow others...
SERWER: Yes, or something like that. And if this is a little bit too rich for your blood -- and it's certainly too rich for mine -- the Intrepid will be back in its spot in 2008.
M. O'BRIEN: How much for me to get my hands on the stick and throttle of the SR-71 Blackbird? I would love that.
SERWER: That starts at a million.
SERWER: Yes. When he buzzes the tower, look out. OK?
M. O'BRIEN: I was just checking. Just checking.
SERWER: Now, we want to tell you about this story, a little bit of an update here on this -- did you hear about this? This is horrible. This Dallas Cowboys' assistant coach...
M. O'BRIEN: Oh, jeez.
S. O'BRIEN: Oh, it's a horrible story.
SERWER: ... and his family, his wife and his...
SERWER: ... they say they found a rat in a salad at a McDonald's outside of Dallas.
S. O'BRIEN: I guess they had taken it out. Like, they did takeout. They opened it up. They were eating it.
SERWER: Yes. And they ate some. And they are suing McDonald's for $1.7 million. McDonald's has no comment.
The only thing that I find a little interesting here -- well, the whole thing is interesting -- but questionable is this happened on June 5th. And you always wonder...
S. O'BRIEN: Well, apparently, he says...
SERWER: ... why the gap.
S. O'BRIEN: ... McDonald's said they were going to make it right to him, that they would work it out. And that it just -- you know, nothing's ever happened, so...
SERWER: They said they were going to give him a free salad and he said that's really...
S. O'BRIEN: Maybe not so much.
M. O'BRIEN: Not so Happy Meal, you might say, huh? Wow.
S. O'BRIEN: That's a nasty story.
M. O'BRIEN: OK. Thank you, Andy.
SERWER: You're welcome.
S. O'BRIEN: Betty Nguyen and T.J. Holmes are at the CNN Center. They've got a look at what's coming up this weekend on "CNN SATURDAY" and "CNN SUNDAY MORNING".
Hey, guys. Good morning.
BETTY NGUYEN, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning.
T.J. HOLMES, CNN ANCHOR: Hey. Good morning to you there.
We, as always, got a pretty busy weekend coming up here.
NGUYEN: Oh, yes, we do. We are counting down to the election. And if you're still not sure whether to reelect your congressman or just kick him to the curb, we'll take you online and show you how to find a quick and intelligent answer.
HOLMES: Also, "Spoiled Rotten America". Yes, a new book coming out here with comedian Larry Miller, and he says the country has gone a bit soft. And he's poking fun at the outrages of everyday life.
Plus, this...
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you think they're doing this because he's black?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They're doing this because he's the messiah.
NGUYEN: Check this out. A controversial new film asks the question, Soledad, what color was Jesus? No matter your race or religion, you won't want to miss our "Faces of Faith".
HOLMES: And we've got all that, plus, of course, the latest headlines.
So please, Soledad, Miles, all you guys up there, join us.
NGUYEN: We're counting on you.
S. O'BRIEN: Absolutely.
HOLMES: Saturday and Sunday morning.
S. O'BRIEN: Saturday and Sunday I'm there.
NGUYEN: Great.
HOLMES: Seven o'clock, all right -- 7:00.
NGUYEN: The whole five hours on Saturday, OK, Soledad?
S. O'BRIEN: We get up at 3:00 every morning, man. Seven is late for me.
Excellent, you guys. We'll see you then. Thanks.
HOLMES: Thank you.
NGUYEN: Good to see you.
S. O'BRIEN: A quick look at some of the stories we're following for you this morning.
Live pictures of that raging wildfire in southern California. Authorities say this was arson. We'll update you on the very latest efforts to contain the flames.
And we wrap up our series "Prescription Iraq". Our guests from the past week are back today talking about the timetable. How would they fix the situation in Iraq?
That's ahead. Stay with us.
M. O'BRIEN: Welcome back. I'm Miles O'Brien.
S. O'BRIEN: And I'm Soledad O'Brien. Let's get right to the "News Wall" for some of the stories we're following for you this morning.
M. O'BRIEN: Now "Prescription Iraq": All this week we've been searching for solutions for this mess in Iraq. This morning we'd love to tell you we have the answer, but to paraphrase the Defense secretary, yesterday, this is complicated stuff. Let's try to boil it all down, hash it out here.
Sen. Carl Levin is the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee; he joins us from Flint, Michigan. He is pushing to start bringing home U.S. troops by the end of this year. Sarah Smiley is a Navy wife and a syndicated columnist. She simply would like some clarity from the administration. Fred Kagan, with the American Enterprise Institute, says it is time to send in more troops. And Professor Fawaz Gerges, of the American University in Cairo, think it's important for the U.S. troops to reduce the size of their footprint in Iraq, because they in fact are part of the problem, rather than the solution. Good to have you all with us. Let's get right to it.
Senator Levin, I want to begin with you. You obviously saw the Defense secretary. Let's, once again, share with everybody a brief excerpt of that rather heated exchange with reporters.
DONALD RUMSFELD, U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE: You're looking for some sort of a guillotine to come flowing down if some date isn't met. That is not what this is about. This is complicated stuff. It's difficult. We're looking out in the future. No one can predict the future with absolute certainty. You ought to just back off.
M. O'BRIEN: Let's try to get this straight. I'm a little bit confused, Senator. Are there timetables? Are there milestones at work? The week sort of began with talk of that. Denials by the Iraqi government, and that statement by the Defense secretary. What's your understanding right now?
SEN. CARL LEVIN, (D-MI) ARMED SERVICES CMTE.: Well, I think the administration's all over the place. One day they say they want milestones. The next day they say they don't want anything that has any teeth in it. Then the Iraqi prime minister disagrees with the president as to what they've agreed upon. This administration is in total disarray when it comes to Iraq. So, it's kind of hard for me to say where they are, except for the following.
The course that we're on is not working. The administration has said, "stay the course, stay the course, stay the course" until a few days ago when they say they're no longer saying stay the course. But basically they believe the status quo is working. The president, the other day at his press conference, said we are absolutely winning. If he thinks that, it seems to me it's going to be impossible for him to understand that we've got to change the dynamic, change the course in Iraq.
I believe the only way to change it is to put pressure on the Iraqi leaders to come to a political accommodation on sharing resources and sharing power and that without that, you're not going to see an end to the violence. With that, with the political accommodation, we have a chance of succeeding in Iraq.
M. O'BRIEN: Sarah, let's go to you. The president, when he spoke the other day, had some words directly for the likes of you. Let's listen to those.
GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The parents of our troops must understand that if I didn't believe we could succeed, and didn't believe it was necessary for the security of this country to succeed, I wouldn't have your loved ones there.
M. O'BRIEN: All right. I assume those are good words. You like to hear those words. But having said that -- do you -- you want clarity. Are you clear in your mind where things are now?
SARAH SMILEY, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST, "SHORE DUTY": Well, as I said on Wednesday, you know, military families are used to not having all of the information, but we understand that our loved ones do, that the troops do. And I wanted to point out that Mr. Kagan's comments on Tuesday about the long deployments for military families, and more frequent deployments, and those being worth the risk for what we're trying to accomplish in Iraq. That really, you know, rung true to me as a military family because we're used to deployments, quite frankly.
And this is what my husband signed up for when he joined the military. And he knew what that entailed. And I knew what it entailed when I married him. So I think that's the incredible thing about service members and military families is that we're ready to do whatever the country asks of us. The leaders that are in charge, whatever they decide they need my husband to do, he's ready, and so am I, to sacrifice at home. And I might also point --
M. O'BRIEN: But given the murkiness about all these -- this talk about timetables and so forth, does that leave you with nagging concerns about if there is any light at the end of the tunnel?
SMILEY: I think, you know, as I said on Wednesday, timetables, this whole idea of a timeline is irrelevant to military families. We're used to not having a schedule. It's never been clear to me when my husband is coming home, when he's leaving, when the next move will be. So military families, war or no war, are used to no having a timetable. And we're used to that we're not always privy information about military strategy and --
M. O'BRIEN: Right.
SMILEY: And sometimes it strikes me as ridiculous that we think the military owes the public an explanation about their strategy.
M. O'BRIEN: All right, Fred Kagan, let's talk to you for just a moment. Most of the talk this week is about when the troops might be coming home. But I did see the top general in Baghdad, General Casey, saying he reserves the right to call for more troops if he sees fit. He hasn't seen fit.
There isn't a lot of talk outside of that, about sending more troops, which is what you had proposed. Having heard what you have heard this week, did they persuade you in any other way that it is time now, perhaps, to withdraw troops.
FRED KAGAN, AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE: No, absolutely not. It's very clear to me that at the moment we start withdrawing troops under the current circumstances, the situation in Iraq will begin to collapse very, very quickly. It is important to keep in mind, the U.S. military is still providing the essential logistics base for the Iraqi army. The Iraqi army will fall apart as we start to withdrawal. We're also providing essential security. The Iraqis will not be able to do that without our assistance. So, if you talk about any sort of withdrawal, phased or otherwise, with timelines or not with timelines, right now, what you're talking about imminent defeat, which will lead very likely to imminent beginning, very serious ethnic cleansing, and the development, possibly, of a real regional maelstrom. And I don't think we can contemplate that.
M. O'BRIEN: That's a scary scenario. Let's move it over to Professor Gerges. And we'll talk about this a little bit.
Professor Gerges, you have been pushing for a long time about reducing the American presence, the so-called footprint, especially the cities where they come in contact with people. In many cases you would suggest make matters worse. When Fred Kagan says pulling things out leads to imminent defeat, you would say just the opposite?
FAWAZ GERGES, PROFESSOR, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, CAIRO: Absolutely, Miles. The question on the table is not whether we should help the Iraqi government, or not. Of course, we should. The United States owes a great deal of moral responsibility for the Iraqis and any strategic, any shift of policy, any shock tactics might be catastrophic for Iraq and American vital interests in the long term.
We're not saying the United States should pack and leave over night. We're saying the United States should basically realize that the American military presence in Iraq is not contributing to political stability in the country. In fact, on the contrary, the preponderant American military presence in Iraq is pouring gasoline on the fire.
Miles, let me expand the debate a bit here, since I am residing in the Middle East this year and I'm interviewing hundreds of activists and politicians and public opinion.
What American commentators and policy makers don't appreciate are the devastating effects of the American military presence on American vital interests throughout the Middle East. The American military presence is militarizing and radicalizing mainstream public opinion in this part of the world. So even if we are winning in Iraq, which we are not, of course, the implications of the American presence in Iraq are devastating to American vital interests in the long-term.
Miles, the American military presence is creating a new generation of militants or jihadists, some of whom I have interviewed hundreds of young men, in the last few months, who are trying very hard to go to Iraq and join the fight against the American military presence there.
M. O'BRIEN: We'll leave it there for the moment. But we're not done. When we come back, we're going to ask our guests, because we've been talking a lot about victory and winning, how would they define victory in Iraq? Stay with us. That's a key definition in all of this. Stay with us.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK) M. O'BRIEN: Back now with more "Prescription Iraq", and back with our panel. How to define victory? In the early days of the war there was talk about bringing democracy to Iraq and how that might have a ripple effect all throughout the Middle East. Listen to the president just the other day as he tried to define victory in Iraq.
BUSH: The ultimate victory in Iraq, which is a government that can sustain itself, govern itself and defend itself, depends upon the Iraqi citizens and the Iraqi government doing the hard work necessary to protect their country. And our job is to help them achieve that objective.
M. O'BRIEN: A government that can sustain itself, govern itself, and defend itself, Senator Levin. By that criteria, the Saddam Hussein government was a success. So the bar is lowered here.
LEVIN: Yeah, he's clearly changed his rhetoric here. He's finally gotten rid of some of the grandiose ideas that he was perpetuating here for many, many years. And that's probably a good sign that the rhetoric has toned down.
But I have to say that the issue is how do you get to a stable government which is not at war with itself? How do you end the violence on the street? For me, the definition of success will be when the political leaders of Iraq finally reach a political accommodation, sharing the oil resources and wealth of Iraq , fairly, and sharing the political power that they have to do in order that there's going to be a stable government. And that's only going to happen, I believe, if they are told that we are not there in an unlimited way, that they cannot assume that we're going to solve their problems for them.
The idea that we would bring more troops into Iraq deepens that problem because they would think even more so that we are there to solve their problems. They've got to do it for themselves and to make that happen. I believe we've got to let them know that three or four or five months down the road we are going to begin, just begin, a redeployment of our troops out of Iraq to focus their minds on what they must do, and to put pressure on them to reach those political accommodations.
That, to me, will be success is when they reach those political accommodations. And that will follow their finally realizing whether or not they make their country is up to them, not up to us.
M. O'BRIEN: Sarah, how would you define success, victory in Iraq?
SMILEY: I think that victory, as with most things, will be determined in hindsight. I agree with Secretary Rumsfeld when he says this is complicated stuff.
Someone like me, who doesn't have access to all the appropriate information, it would be silly of me to look in the future and assume that I know what victory would be.
But I would also say the military isn't designed to frame victory via politics. The troops on the ground over there, I can guarantee you they don't have time to analyze political polls and political debates. They're given a mission for this day, this week, this month, and they're focusing on accomplishing that.
For them, success is going out, doing their job, doing it well and coming home safely to their families. They're measuring success in smaller increments than we are over here. And I think we, as a country, need to be better at recognizing the smaller victories they're having every day.
M. O'BRIEN: Fred Kagan, how would you define victory in Iraq?
KAGAN: I think the president's recent definition is a good one, and I think it is one we need to strive for right now. We've been put -- because of some mistakes in strategy, and the way we've gone about this war, we've been put in a very defensive position here.
We must urgently get the security situation under control in Iraq. The Iraqis are not capable of doing that now. All the people who are calling for the withdrawal of American forces, or timetable, seem to ignore this fundamental fact. That as soon as we start to do that, the security will collapse. The Iraqi government will almost certainly collapse. And we will have chaos that's makes what is going on right now look very tame.
That's totally unacceptable. And it will turn Iraq into a breeding ground for terrorists. The president is quite right about that. It will destroy our image around the world, it will destroy our honor, and it will destroy our reputation as a force that's actually capable of supporting its friends.
Against the danger of the problem that is we're causing in the Middle East by this war, we have to set the danger that we'll encourage enemies throughout the world to act because of our perceived weakness, and inability to carry through on things we've undertaken, even when they're so much in our vital national interest.
M. O'BRIEN: Fawaz Gerges?
GERGES: Well, Miles, I'm delighted our Defense secretary now recognizes and realizes that nation building is very complicated. I wish he and his aides had realized that before they engaged in this major military venture. Of course, we realize it's complicated. Of course, we realize it's complex. Of course, we realize that the United States should not cut and run and that any particular change in policy should be gradual and orderly over the next 15 months.
The question on the table, Miles, is the following: Does the American military presence in Iraq contribute to political stability in Iraq or is it counterproductive and pouring gasoline on the fire? I believe that the United States should work very hard, the Bush administration in order to replace the American major contingent in Iraq with a neutral, international force, preferably a Muslim neutral force in order to help Iraqis rebuild their lives and rebuild their nation.
Of course, it's very difficult, and this is why it should be done over the next 15 months. But the process of sending more troops in Iraq is a very dangerous one and is bound to complicate the situation -- not just in Iraq, but throughout the Muslim world as well.
M. O'BRIEN: We'll leave it at that. Thank you all for your time, all this week, Senator Carl Levin, Sarah Smiley, Fred Kagan and Fawaz Gerges. We appreciate your time and insights.
S. O'BRIEN: At this hour we're monitoring that raging wildfire in Southern California. Let's take a look at some live pictures. Authorities say this was arson. We'll update you on the latest efforts to contain the flames. That's ahead, stay with us.
M. O'BRIEN: A controversial new film, a faux documentary, portrays the fictional assassination of President George Bush. "The Death of a President" opens in U.S. theaters on Friday. Some theater chains are refusing to show the film.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, "DEATH OF A PRESIDENT")
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're not just rounding up people, we have probable cause.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That was a major, major security breach.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This time it seemed to me there was real hate.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He looked at me and he stepped out.
(END VIDEO CLIP, "DEATH OF A PRESIDENT")
M. O'BRIEN: Gabriel Range is the director of the film. He joins us now.
Good to have you with us, Gabriel.
GABRIEL RANGE, DIRECTOR, "THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT": Good to be here.
M. O'BRIEN: Why did you make this movie?
RANGE: I think imagining the assassination of President Bush just struck me as being a very potent and very striking way of posing some questions about the way the war on terror has been handled, about some of the consequences of the last five years, really.
M. O'BRIEN: In this case, for example, there is a suspect who is a Syrian national, who is singled out, arrested and put on death row. As part of this, vice president, in this movie becomes the president, Cheney, tries to focus blame on this person for other reasons. Explain that little plot line there.
RANGE: Well, there's certainly a sense in which, in the last few years, many of the terror suspects have certainly been held up by the current administration as poster boys for terrorism. That, in part, has been out of a desire to create the sense that the war is here in America, that we are fighting this war, that it's a war that is being fought in every American city.
So in a way, the experiences of this particular character in the film, the Syrian character, are in some way inspired by the experiences of some real life terror cases. The film is fictional. But pretty much every twist and turn is inspired in some way by real life events.
M. O'BRIEN: All of it put together, along with the combination of trying to weave this altogether, some voice interpretations makes it all seem very real. Is it fair to do that to people? To take things completely out of context, rework them, pop them into a fictional thing like this?
RANGE: I think I wanted to make a film that absolutely felt like a world that you would recognize, a world that we live in. It was very important, for example, to make the film about the assassination of President Bush, rather than about the assassination of fictional president. Precisely because I wanted the film to feel like a world we recognize.
Although it is set in the near future, and although it is fiction, it is very much a hope about some of the issues that really have come to the fore in the course of the last five years. I think it's telling a story in this particular style, I think, makes the audience react in a very different way to a regular narrative piece of drama.
M. O'BRIEN: Do you think what you're doing is responsible? Does this inspire, perhaps, someone who might wish to do harm to the president?
RANGE: I think anyone who sees the film, there is no way in which this film can be seen as an incitement to commit an act of violence. The assassination is portrayed as a horrific event, with terrible consequences. I really think the film explores more than anything the sort of pernicious effects of violence. I don't think it could inspire anyone to commit this act.
M. O'BRIEN: Some of these theaters that have said no to your film, in the end all the buzz surrounding this, I guess that might be good for business, huh?
RANGE: I think the distributor, New Market, are keen to -- they've got the film out in a lot of theaters. And they're very confident that it will reach a wide audience. I hope the fact you and I are talking about it today will mean that a lot of people will want to see the film. I would say, it's not what you think. Judge it for yourself.
M. O'BRIEN: Gabriel Range, the director of the film. Thank you very much for your time.
RANGE: Thank you.
M. O'BRIEN: We should tell you CNN has decided not to air commercials for "Death Of A President" because of the extreme nature of the movie's subject matter -- Soledad.
S. O'BRIEN: We're back in a moment with a look at the day's top stories. First, though, here's Valerie Morris with today's edition of "Life After Work".
VALERIE MORRIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): In 1998 Charlie Stayton retired, from her job as a librarian, to fulfill her life's mission.
CHARLIE STAYTON, EXEC. DIR., THE WITNESS PROJECT: I don't think that I would have been this busy at the age of retirement because now my family is telling me, ma, when you going to come home?
MORRIS: At 63 Stayton is the director of The Witness Project, located on the campus of the University of Arkansas, the non-profit organization educates women, mostly African-American, about breast cancer and cervical cancer.
STAYTON: We want to reach all the women in the State of Arkansas that are not covered with medical insurance. We go out into the communities, and we present educational programs, and through these educational programs, we teach them the benefits of early detection.
MORRIS: Stayton knows the importance of treating cancer early. And even though her battle with cervical cancer was more than 20 years ago, she draws on that life experience to help others today.
STAYTON: The most rewarding part of my work is helping the ladies, because when I went through my ordeal in 1984, no ladies stepped to the plate and said "I've had cancer". So, when you can give the ladies consolation and let you know you'll be there and walk them through regardless, it makes me feel like I have done something worthwhile.
MORRIS: Valerie Morris, CNN.

Nokia sees accelerated adoption of 5G technology in the Philippines
By Marlet D. Salazar on June 24, 2021
With many innovations now anchored on 5G, Finnish technology and telecommunications firm Nokia sees rapid adoption of the technology in the Philippines.
According to Nokia, the country is one of the first to introduce 5G technology in the Southeast Asian region. In 2019, Smart Communications Inc. (Smart), made its first standalone video call in a press briefing in Makati City. Today, device manufacturers are introducing almost in rapid succession, 5G-enabled smartphones.
The promise of speed and low latency are just a few of the benefits 5G technology promises to bring in the enterprise and consumer markets.
Nokia unveils first commercial 5G SA for enterprise customers
Nokia seals 63 commercial 5G deals worldwide
"5G will bring a quantum leap in low latency and ultra-reliability connectivity that was impossible with previous technologies," said Carlos Reyes, Head of the Philippines at Nokia. "The nation's industries, enterprises, and people are especially poised to tap into the growth and innovation prospects that the next generation of connectivity holds.
Among the 5G use cases Nokia has focused on are mobile networks, network infrastructure, cloud and network services, and Nokia technologies.
Philippine telcos
Nokia is one of the major partners of all the Philippine telcos in their 5G rollouts.
Nokia is working with digital services provider Converge ICT to provide ultra-broadband services for Philippine consumers and businesses. The company is also collaborating with mobile operator PLDT and its subsidiary Smart Communications to launch enterprise-specific internet of things (IoT) services across the country and the deployment of comprehensive service orchestration and assurance solutions across PLDT's and Smart Communication's nationwide network.
Recently, new telco player DITO Telecommunity tapped Nokia to expand on the delivery of 5G services nationwide. It also has already formed 5G deals with local mobile operator Globe Telecom for the same services.
The company has 20 commercial 5G deals across the Asia Pacific and Japan region.
Nokia sees significant adoption of 5G technology in the manufacturing industries.
"Wireless network for enterprises is a segment that we are seeing worldwide growing enormously and Nokia has solutions to support that," Reyes said.
He added that 5G use in smart cities — smart parking, smart metering, among others — will also see significant growth.

Quy Nhon is the capital city of Binh Dinh province, a thriving seaside town, but yet untouched by mass tourism. It lies on the central coast of Vietnam, 320 km from Da Nang to the north, and 230 km from Nha Trang to the south. Quy Nhon was for centuries a cradle of the Cham civilization and evidence remains today of the spectacular towers they built. Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, is the homeland of the most respected Vietnamese hero: Nguyen Hue. Being the cradle of the classic theatre "Tuong" and the martial art of Viet Nam, nowadays Quy Nhon is famous for its local products like bird's nests.

DUONG LONG TOWERS OR IVORY TOWERS
Located 50 km from Quy Nhon, the site comprises of three Cham towers with the central one of 24m height while the other two are of 22m high. The largest tower is embellished with granite ornamentation representing Naga and Elephants. This tower complex is one of the most beautiful in Central Viet Nam.
QUANG TRUNG MUSEUM
The museum is dedicated Nguyen Hue, a national hero of the 18th century. It was built in his native land 45 km from Quy Nhon. Visiting the museum, tourists can enjoy a show of the traditional martial arts of Binh Dinh.
HUNG THANH (TWIN) TOWERS
Located in a suburb of Quy Nhon just three kilometres north of the city centre, the Hung Thanh or Twin Towers were constructed in the late 12th-early 13th century as part of a larger group. Of square design with false doors, pilasters and other decorative elements typical of the traditional Cham tower, the structures belong architecturally to the Binh Dinh style but are notable for their curved pyramidal roofs, which indicate artistic influence from Angkor. The Hung Thanh Towers underwent extensive restoration in 1996.
QUY NHON BEACH
Situated almost midway between Danang and Nha Trang, Quy Nhon is a new destination for vacationers. The landscape around Quy Nhon is dramatic. You enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches, limestone islands, sun and good seafood.

Реферативний журнал — періодичне видання, що публікує реферати наукових праць та інші вторинні матеріали (бібліографічні описи, анотації) у взаємозв'язку з довідково-пошуковим апаратом, що включає зміст, рубрикацію (класифікаційну схему) видання і допоміжні покажчики.

Реферативні журнали інформують вчених і фахівців про поточні документи (видання). Це допомагає пошуку відповідних наукових документів з однієї і тієї самої тематики в журналах різних профілів, сприяє подоланню мовних бар'єрів. Також РЖ дають можливість вченим і фахівцям стежити за досягненнями в суміжних сферах наукової і практичної діяльності. Реферативні журнали можуть бути засобом побічної оцінки наукової якості первинних документів, так як публікують лише документи, що мають значний інтерес.

Історія
Розвиток науки вимагав оперативного інформування вчених. У 1665 році вийшли перші наукові журнали: «Journal des Scavants» («Журнал учених», Париж) і «Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society» («Філософські записки», Лондон). Значна частина їх була заповнена повідомленнями про нові книги, які давали оцінку і містили короткий виклад змісту. Ці повідомлення, елементами яких були цитати оригінального тексту, називалися екстрактами.

З прискоренням темпів розвитку науки наприкінці XVIII ст. наукові публікації стали переважати не у книгах, а у журналах. До 1800 року у світі виходило вже близько 700 наукових та медичних журналів. У XIX ст. стаття стає основною одиницею професійної наукової комунікації. Статті, кількість яких значно зросла, друкувалися вже в 10 тис. журналах. Все це сприяло появі системи реферування. Видання цієї тематики стають ефективним засобом отримання інформації про найновішими досягненнями, які відображені у наукових публікаціях.

Перші спеціалізовані реферативні журнали почали з'являтися наприкінці XVIII — першій половині ХІХ ст з фізико-математичних, хімічних і технічних наук, розвиток яких викликав зростання обсягів відповідної літератури. З біології та медицини реферативні журнали почали виникати у другій половині ХІХ ст.

Перший реферативний журнал з хімії «Pharmaceutisches Centralblatt» (за назвою «Chemisches Zentralblatt» виходив до 1969 р.) вийшов у Німеччині в 1830 році. У 1907 році — американський «Chemical Abstracts», 1926 року — англійський «British Chemical Abstracts». У галузі медицини та біології найвідомішою у світі була мережа «Jahresbericht» і «Zentralblatt» (видавнича фірма Ю. Шпрінгера), з американських журналів виділявся «Biological Abstracts», який зберігає своє значення і до нашого часу. Серед реферативних журналів з фізики найвпливовішими були німецький «Physikalische Berichte» та англійський «Science abstracts» (серія А — фізика).

Друга світова війни завдала шкоди реферативній періодиці, особливо німецькій, яка була майже знищена. Проте з часом ця галузь повернула свої позиції.

Видання реферативних журналів з природничих і філософських наук розпочалося пізніше. Так у 1940 році у Франції розпочався випуск «Bulletin analytique» (1940 р.). У 1951 року за ініціативою ЮНЕСКО починає виходити «International political science abstracts», де містяться реферати літератури з суспільних наук.

Українська система реферування
Вітчизняна система реферування наукових періодичних видань представлена загальнонаціональним проектом «Україніка наукова». Система була започаткована у 1995 році Інститутом проблем реєстрації інформації, коли в Україні було зареєстровано український реферативний журнал «Джерело». Журнал став головним періодичним виданням, призначеним для реферування змісту друкованих в Україні наукових видань із природничих, технічних, суспільно-гуманітарних та медичних дисциплін. Він містить чотири галузеві серії. В журналі систематично реферуються монографії, збірники наукових праць, матеріали конференцій, посібники для ВНЗ, серійні (періодичні) видання, автореферати дисертацій, препринти. У 1999 році до проекту долучилася Національна бібліотека України імені В.І.Вернадського і саме тоді він отримав назву «Україніка наукова». Мета проекту — забезпечення оперативного розповсюдження наукових результатів, одержаних вченими України у різних галузях сучасної науки.

CSUN water polo player earns All-American status
Matt Crosson
A six-foot sophomore from San Diego put CSUN women's water polo on the map this year, earning an All-American Honorable Mention.
Alison Brookes second season in 2006 tallied 25 assists, 47 steals and a conference-leading 72 goals to earn the honor announced June 6 by the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches.
"My coach called and told me," Brookes said. "She was really excited."
Molly Barnes, CSUN women's head water polo coach, said she was thrilled, but was not surprised that Brookes had been selected.
"She was at the top of the league in scoring," Barnes said. "I knew she had gotten her name out there."
The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, which is the most competitive conference in the country, includes national-powers Stanford, UCLA and USC.
Brookes said she was proud the association recognized CSUN among the superpowers in the league.
Brookes is the second All-American in the five-year history of the CSUN women's water polo program.
She said she is humbled by the honor and the company.
"Almost all of the other players are Olympians," Brookes said. "It's a really big honor to be on this team."
Despite her success in the college ranks as well as four impressive seasons in high school, Brookes was under-recruited.
Barnes said CSUN and San Diego State were the only two schools that showed interest.
"Other coaches are surprised with the speed in which she's developed," Barnes said.
Brookes ultimately chose CSUN because she said she knew she would get more playing-time.
During her first season, she led CSUN in goals and was top three in steals.
The coaching staff was another big factor in her decision.
Brookes said Barnes knows how to successfully balance being a coach and a friend.
"Molly was great at helping me make my decision," Brookes said.
Her teammates took to Brookes immediately because of her polo skills, as well as her personality.
Graziella Caredda, senior goalie, said she quickly developed into one of the team's leaders.
"She contributes a lot to the team," Caredda said. "She's a well-rounded player and person."
Caredda said Brookes is as good defensively as she is offensively.
"She makes my job a lot easier," she said.
Brooke's defensive proficiency is no surprise to Barnes.
Brookes was originally recruited to be a defensive specialist. It was not until Barnes saw Brookes blistering shot that she realized she had an offensive star on her hands.
Brookes credits her hard and accurate shot to ten years of softball. Barnes said players with softball experience often excel at water polo.
"In both sports you're trying to hit a target," Barnes said. "It doesn't matter if it's a mitt or a goal."
Brookes said she played every sport she could while growing up in San Diego. She began swimming at the age of eight and discovered water polo when she was 13. When she reached high school polo was her first priority.
Her tall and slender frame was ideal for the sport.
She said she was 5 feet 10 inches by the end of her senior year in high school.
"Her height helps her a lot," Barnes said. "But she's not that big when it comes to water polo players at the collegiate level."
Barnes said many teams players in MPSF are 6 feet 3 inches and taller.
She said that Brookes needs to improve her swimming if she plans to pursue polo beyond college.
"Her swim speed isn't where it needs to be," Barnes said. "She needs to improve if she wants to make it to the next level."
Pursuing water polo is something Brookes is serious about.
She and teammate Heather Van Hemert participated in a tryout for the U.S. National Women's Water Polo Team in Long Beach last season. Neither player was selected, but she said she gained valuable experience. She said she would also consider playing in a professional league in Europe.
"It's a huge sport in Europe," she said. "I just want to keep playing after college."
Brookes and the Matadors will have 12 returning players from last year's squad along with 13-14 incoming recruits next season.
Barnes is excited about the mix of veterans and young talent on her roster next season because it will add much-needed depth.
"Success isn't going to happen overnight," Barnes said. "But with Ali as our leader we hope to surprise some people next year."

What you learn when you spend a year drinking beer
Kai Ryssdal Oct 26, 2016
https://www.marketplace.org/2016/10/26/what-you-learn-when-you-spend-year-drinking-beer/
Lucy Birmingham, author of 'My Beer Year: Adventures with Hop Farmers, Craft Brewers, Chefs, Beer Sommeliers and Fanatical Drinkers as a Beer Master in Training.' Anna Caitlin
It's Lucy Burningham's job to write about the beer business, but she wanted to take her knowledge a step further. Burningham set out on a quest to become a sommelier of the beer world, or a Cicerone, as they're known. She chronicled her year learning everything there is to know about the beverage in the new book "My Beer Year: Adventures with Hop Farmers, Craft Brewers, Chefs, Beer Sommeliers and Fanatical Drinkers as a Beer Master in Training." Burningham spoke with Kai Ryssdal.
You can listen to the full audio of Kai's beer tasting with Lucy Burningham here:
On the explosion of the craft beer industry:
I think people are interested in what they're eating and drinking now, in a way that they haven't been in past decades. There are lots of people that are doing home brewing now and that's a great way to get in to really understanding what is fermentation, how do temperatures affect beer, you know, as it's fermenting. All those, sort of, technicalities that really make you appreciate what you're drinking in a glass.
On the beer industry possibly growing too big too fast:
Well, I'm not really sensing the bubble and I think it's because I do sense this thirst for flavor and variety. And people are curious, they want to try new things. What is happening are the big mergers and acquisitions.
On mergers and acquisitions:
This is the ongoing debate right now in the craft beer community. People are so worried, and I think one of the reasons why is transparency. You know, it's going to take a lot more work for people who enjoy craft beer and enjoy the idea of an independent brewery to really know where their beer is coming from! You know, they might be enjoying that IPA but if they knew that it was produced by one of the world's biggest corporate beer makers, it might have a little bit less intrigue for them, a little less something! And, it might taste exactly the same, who knows? But, I think people deserve to know who owns the brewery.

There is someone who entered ihram from the miqaat and intended that the reward for this 'umrah would be for the Muslims. Is this 'umrah acceptable? Will the reward reach the Muslims?
See also the answers to questions no. 46698 and 103966.
It is more appropriate to say that no reward for a righteous deed will reach all the Muslims; in fact Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This way of giving away a reward was not narrated from any of the early generations.
Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a man who, every time he completed the Qur'an or recited anything from it, would say: O Allah, give the reward for what I have recited as a gift from me to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), or to all the people of the earth, from east to west.
Is that permissible or recommended? Is it obligatory to object to this and denounce the one who does it? Did any of the Muslim scholars do that?
Among other things, he said:… Giving the reward of reading Qur'an to him (the Prophet – blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) or to all the people of earth is like giving the reward of a voluntary fast or a voluntary prayer, and the like; it is like giving the reward of charity, manumitting a slave, or performing Hajj – according to one of the two views – to the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and all the Muslims. We have not heard that any of the early generations, the Sahaabah, the Taabi'een and those who followed them, did such a thing. The earliest report that we have heard of anyone doing any such thing mentions 'Ali ibn al-Muwaffaq, who was one of the senior shaykhs who were contemporaries of Ahmad and the shaykhs of Junayd.
Deeds that are prescribed in the religious texts are the deeds that the believer should be keen to do. And Allah knows best.
End quote from Jaami' al-Masaa'il by Ibn Taymiyyah (4/209-213).
Based on that, it is not prescribed to give the reward for 'umrah to all the Muslims. However, for the person who did that, we ask Allah, may He be exalted, to reward him with good for his good intention, but he should not do that again, and he shared stick to what the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) has prescribed for us, as Shaykh al-Islam said: Deeds that are prescribed in the religious texts are the deeds that the believer should be keen to do.

I am interested in randomly generating and storing the passwords in LabTech (every so often i.e. quarterly) and then be able to have these automatically be used for all the machines at a client site.
By default, whenever you launch TeamViewer for a remote control session, the program will automatically generate a password for the other side to be able to gain control of your system. If you often need to use TeamViewer, you should set up a default password so that the other side of the session does not have to ask for this information every time.

The plan? Cruise the Milwaukee River with our guests looking at the backside of city real estate. Then, return to our condominium to eat good food and talk smart. Ma' Nature had other plans.
As the rain continued we found ourselves munching Cheetos, pre dinner, at the dinner table. Cheetos as a boat snack was fine and a perfectly acceptable location. Cheetos served at the dinner table? Let's agree in real estate and Cheetos – location matters.
The towns were founded 11 years apart in 1868 and 1879, founded around steel and mining industries with German, Scottish, Irish and Italian settlers providing the workforce.
Each town's housing reflected an industrial hierarchy. The home below is a worker's home, referred to in each town as a "worker's cottage." Cottage homes were often company-built to house the workers and were mixed among larger residences originally belonging to foremen and company executives.
I'm writing of Bay View (Milwaukee), Wisconsin and Telluride, Colorado – a bicycle ride of 1,402 miles separates the two.
Location must matter because the cottage to the left, located in Bay View, has an assessed value of $134,200. A workers cottage of similar style and condition in Telluride is assessed for $1.1 million.
The question of location can take many forms beyond the obvious; for example, don't buy across the street from an industrial site.
Seven years ago I attended a downtown condominium open house. In front of the development/unit was a large vacant lot. I asked the open house agent (I didn't tell her I was an agent), what might happen to the vacant lot? "Oh, that will never be built on," she replied.
Rather than fight her on the statement, I exited knowing the statement could not be true. It wasn't. A proposal to build on that site is now before the City Council.
I tell the tale because at the time I had a client with some interest in the unit. Our job is to provide objective information, not sell. In this instance I said to my client, "I'll do the market analysis and you can buy the unit, but if you do, I'm writing a note in my file that I told you not to buy it." How's that for salesmanship?
It's important to understand all aspects of location. A good source of information is the local assessor's office. For example, if you are purchasing in a neighborhood on a block face with duplexes, the assessor will have information on owner occupancy.
If vacant land is nearby, it's prudent to check with the assessor's office and planning department (Are there plans to build? What type of building is allowed?) before making an Offer. Our approach is to do research and obtain information for our clients and provide contact information for our clients to check personally.
Location: It's interesting to find two towns with similar beginnings and housing styles yet with such different home values. The home at the top (Bay View) is probably a $350,000+ home while the one below, in Telluride, could command up to $1.5 million.
If you are house hunting remember the Cheetos.Location matters.Information matters. Not being sold matters. Making the right choice matters.
It's why Homebuyer Associates is in business, not to sell you something but to gather information and educate and then negotiate and work on your behalf throughut the transaction.
If you are interested in beingsold a home – don't contact us. If you are interested in making an informed home purchase we can meet over coffee (and Cheetos if the location is right).
Fun fact: Our company logo (top right) is a cream city brick home built in 1880. A friend and I totally gutted that home many years ago and returned the home to its original style, one of my more fun and interesting housing rehab projects over the years.
It is assessed at $199,000. If the home was located in Telluride the number would be $1.7 million. Should have been eating Cheetos in Telluride.

Life / Random Thoughts
by Charles Chen · April 8, 2006
So I'm back from Utah. Quite a trip. I left New Jersey Monday morning at ~7:00AM EST and touched down in Utah ~11:00AM MT. It only dawned on me when I got into the office there that it was quite a morning commute 🙂
Some of the highlights and commentary from the week that was (in random bulleted list format):
Brad, our CEO, cooked for all of us one night at his house. Made some very delish fresh baked bread, pasta, and jumbo tiger shrimp from Costco (I'm gonna have to go pick some up one of these days too). I remarked to my wife that the square footage of his kitchen is larger than the footprint of our townhouse.
I have a distaste for American cars. Numb steering feel has to be my number one complaint. The Cobalt just feels terrrrible with regards to steering feedback.
Wow. I was able to convince everyone on the team to use Subversion and Trac. Amazing. So I spent most of Thursday night setting up Subversion over Apache and also setting up Trac as well. Took me roughly 6 hours :-S…and I'm still not 100% done. But I'm excited. I've just had terrible experiences with VSS. It had gotten to the point where I was doing a daily .zip backup of my local files to an external HD since I didn't trust the VSS repository. It's also great that it runs over HTTPS; much easier to bring new team members on board and we don't have to worry about licensing.
We also decided to go with .Net 2.0 and VS2005 for all new development. Woohoo!
Brad is quite excited about Trac. I'm slightly concerned that he's going to go crazy making tickets.
Now some not so random stuff.
It took me exactly 12 hours to get from Salt Lake back to New Jersey. My return flight was supposed to stop over in Cincy, but because of thunder storms, we were diverted to Chicago. Very scary stuff. The pilot was trying to squeeze into a small window in the storms to see if we could get in there, but seconds later, came back on and let us know that we were running out of fuel. We had to touch down in Chicago to pick up more fuel. All was well, but I missed my connecting flight out of Cincy once I got into there. So had to settle for a later flight :-S
I don't think I've ever really been afraid of flying since I've been flying around since I was a toddler. But for a brief moment, a deep sense of grief and fear overcame me as we were in the sky, being battered by the turbulence and hearing the pilot tell us that we were running out of fuel.
Aside from the return flight, it was a good trip. I think we really had a better sense of team this time around and it'll be good to have Brad around now since it gives a better sense of purpose and clearer direction.
I also finished the NHibernate documentation on the return flight. Very good stuff. After reading it, all of the stuff that I was struggling with the first two times around made much more sense. NHibernate is perhaps too flexible and powerful for its own good; it offers so many alternatives to get at the persisted objects, that it really takes a lot of practice and study to figure out the use cases for each of the different access methods.
The only part of the documentation that I was really disappointed with was the tools portion; it was pulled directly from the Hibernate documentation and still referenced Java command line instructions and what not, which is obviously disappointing since it raises the question of where else the documentation could be wrong with respects to differences in Hibernate and NHibernate implementation and syntax.
NHibernate, at this stage, does almost everything that DLINQ does (from the early documentation that I've covered) with respect to ORM with the obvious exception of language integration (they'd have to write a custom compiler or comipler extension to get that).

David Brown, of Ligonier, Pa., posted a 2-under-par round of 70 on Sunday for a 6-under total of 138 to earn medalist honors in the 63rd U.S. Senior Amateur Championship at The Minikahda Club. Brown, 56, who is competing in his first U.S. Senior Amateur, topped a trio of players by two strokes to earn the No. 1 seed for match play, which begins on Monday with 64 players.
The bracket is not yet complete, as 12 players are tied for 58th place at 8-over-par 152 after 36 holes of stroke play, necessitating a playoff for the final seven spots in match play. The hole-by-hole playoff will begin on Monday at 7 a.m. CDT on the 10th hole at Minikahda, a 423-yard par 4.
Brown failed to qualify for this championship in 2016, his first year of eligibility. He made 11 birdies over his two tours of Minikahda, which has hosted five previous USGA championships, including the 1916 U.S. Open and the 1927 U.S. Amateur. Three players finished two strokes behind Brown, including Matthew Sughrue, of Arlington, Va., the runner-up in the 2016 championship to Dave Ryan, of Taylorville, Ill.
Sughrue, who shot rounds of 68-72, was joined by Chuck Palmer, of Dallas, Texas, and Mitch Wilson, of Kalamazoo, Mich., both of whom shot 72-68. Ryan was one stroke farther back, along with Tim Jackson, of Germantown, Tenn., the 1994 and 2001 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, who has gotten to the semifinal round of this championship the past two years.
Two-time champion Paul Simson (2010 and 2012) was another stroke back at 1-under 143, while two more champions – Doug Hanzel (2013) and Chip Lutz (2015) – were in a group of four players at even-par 144.
Seven players broke 70 on Sunday, compared to two in Saturday's first round. Among them was David Nocar, of Millersville, Md., who improved on Sunday's round by eight strokes (77-69) to tie for 13th place at 2-over 146.
No. 1 seed Brown now awaits his Round-of-64 opponent from the morning playoff, but knows that match play is a different game, having defeated the co-medalist (Bill Sharp) as the No. 63 player in the 2002 Mid-Amateur at The Stanwich Club, in Greenwich, Conn.
Patrick Tallent (2014) and George "Buddy" Marucci Jr. (2008) rounded out the six champions who advanced to match play, posting 36-hole scores of 6-over 150 and 7-over 151, respectively.
Stewart "Buddy" Alexander, the 1986 U.S. Amateur champion, was among the players to miss the 36-hole cut, shooting 9-over 153 to miss the playoff by one stroke.

New Shipt CEO talks plans, Petco and comfortable shoes
Updated May 7, 2019 ; Posted May 7, 2019

Shipt's new CEO Kelly Caruso says the online shopping app will continue to expand this year, growing into new markets with new offerings.
Plus, she has a new appreciation for the job Shipt shoppers do, after spending time as one.
Caruso, who was named in March to lead the firm that began in Birmingham, gave a short interview to Target's corporate site, "A Bullseye View." In December 2017 Target bought Shipt for $550 million in cash. Last year, Shipt announced an expansion of its Birmingham operations and plans to hire 881 new Birmingham-based workers.
Caruso was most recently a senior vice president at Target responsible for developing the merchandising and guest experience strategies for toys, electronics and entertainment. In her interview, she pointed to Shipt adding Petco to its marketplace this year, which allows same-day delivery of pet supplies in more than 200 markets.
Calling 2018 a "tremendous period of growth" for Shipt, Caruso said she wants to keep the momentum going.
"We're continuing to expand in categories such as alcohol—a great value add for our members and retailers alike—as well as prescription delivery," Caruso said. "We also want to maintain our momentum in the markets we're serving, continue to grow in new markets and further differentiate Shipt as the same-day delivery partner of choice for consumers and retailers."
Caruso spent her first month, she said, getting to know retailers, shoppers and customers. Part of that process was spending time as a Shipt shopper.
Her first lesson? Wear comfortable shoes. Next came double checking customer notes on produce for ripeness. Dairy and perishables go last in the order, which makes the order a shopper progresses through the market important.
But she also said that part of the shopper process is getting to know the customer.
"Shipt Shoppers are the real deal," she said. "They have a people-centric mindset that inspires them to create a positive, personalized experience for each member, every time they shop. Whether that's texting with the member during the shop to make sure their order is accurate or enjoying a quick cup of tea with the member once they arrive at the house, shoppers go above and beyond to deliver more than just the order."
