== The global reach of a public speaking course at the UW ==

<html>A screen shot from Matt McGarrity s online course.
This summer, students from around the world are learning public speaking the way it’s taught at the University of Washington. For Seattle Times readers taking “Introduction to Public Speaking,” global participation is yet another unique aspect to taking a class online.
About three-quarters of the students who signed up for the course live outside the U.S.
Is learning hampered when all the speech-making has to be done in English – a second language for many participants?
Perhaps. Although colleges are always looking for ways to expose students to other cultures,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 Nike Washington Redskins jerseys], James Ehrmann isn’t sure that can be replicated in a digital environment.
“The traditional challenges these interactions present (language barriers, different social/behaviors norms) are exacerbated in an online environment,[http://wiki.touhou.nu/index.php/Anv%C3%A4ndare:Axmshpybhn#Mariners_note_sept_.2C_perdent_encore Mariners note sept , perdent encore],” wrote Ehrmann, a higher education professional from Bellevue. “In an online environment, the type of class may matter more (indeed, language barriers make a speech class more difficult than a calculus class where the primary medium is numbers, not words); however, communication will always be important regardless of the subject.
“I would not go so far as to suggest that the large number of non-US residents in this class detracts from my experience, but I will say that it is likely to prevent me from being as active of a participant in discussion forums,” he wrote.
But perhaps the global nature of the class is an advantage. Sandy Malone thought it was “helpful and realistic.”
“Life has a global reach so hearing others from around the world and providing feedback is helpful for both the listener and the speaker,” said Malone, of Mukilteo, a district governor for Toastmasters International.
Some technical difficulties are holding a few students back – they’re having trouble posting their recorded speeches to YouTube, the platform we’re using to upload and review each other’s speeches. But most of our reader-participants still went through the exercise of producing an introductory speech.
“I’ve written speeches before and read them out loud, but I got more out of recording my speech and then watching/listening,” wrote John Enger, who’s also a Toastmasters governor and lives in West Seattle.
Ken Dammand,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/chicago-bears-c-3 discount Chicago Bears jerseys], a political activist from Tulalip, also had trouble with uploading to YouTube, but he did record a speech, and he found that “an informative experience in and of itself,” he wrote. “Most of us are our own harshest critics but the lectures draw one’s attention to particular aspects of the presentation that might otherwise not have been seen.”
Said Ehrmann: “I do think the repetition and reward of going through a process from an initial idea to a six-minute speech was ultimately helpful in retaining information.”</html>

== Perception and reality- Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales ==

<html>Justin Smoak drills one of his two RBI doubles last night to help the Mariners rout the Boston Red Sox. Smoak is now running a higher OPS than Kendrys Morales. Photo Credit: AP
Justin Smoak and Kendrys Morales are both first basemen for the Mariners who can double as a DH. For much of this season,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ discount nfl jerseys], we ve heard a debate raging about whether the Mariners should try to sign Morales long-term, to a contract that would range anywhere from $15 million to $20 million per annum.
When it comes to Smoak, as recently as a week or two ago, there has been discussion about whether he fits into Seattle s future plans.
As of this morning, here are the on-base-plus-slugging percentages of the two players:
Smoak: .788
Morales: .778
This is probably something worth discussing.
Look, I understand the hesitation with Smoak, given that he s taken roughly three full seasons to get to this point with the Mariners. And if you try hard enough to find stats to knock him down with, you can come up with a few.
One go-to favorite among the anti-Smoak crowd is his batting average on balls in play (BABIP), which is at .331 compared to his career .267 mark. We ll leave alone the fact that his career was lousy prior to this point, which would tend to make for a severe BABIP jump once he actually got a clue and started hitting. His line drive rate is 22.6 percent compared to 18.2 percent last year and 13.8 percent in 2011, which seems to suggest he s actually figured something out.
But we ll leave the BABIP argument alone for now and let it stand. Maybe he is a bit lucky .
Or not.
We can make all sorts of arguments that knock Morales down as well.
Let s say this comes down to a choice between one or the other. And it very well might for a Mariners team that lately doesn t like to spend a whole lot of money, as opposed to chasing after players with the supposed intent of laying out cash.
So, who do you take?
Morales is 30, Smoak is 26.
While Smoak may have struggled for three seasons, Morales broke his ankle and hasn t been the same player since before Smoak was even traded to Seattle in July 2010.
Morales has a .336 OBP, while Smoak is at .369.
Defensively,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/st-louis-rams-c-95 Nike St. Louis Rams jerseys], Smoak looks to be the better player and can man the field more without coming up lame.
And, oh yeah, Morales will probably cost at least $15 million next year. Smoak? I dunno, $2 million in arbitration?
I don t want to make this a Morales-bashing session because I do feel he s a pretty good mid-order piece. He s hitting .355 with runners is scoring position, compared to .163 for Smoak a telling sign that he s ready for prime time whereas Smoak is still feeling his way. You get that way when you ve been gleaned by a playoff contender in Anaheim as opposed to a cellar-dwellar in Seattle.
Still, those OPS numbers are tough to ignore. Especially when we can pretty much all agree that Smoak doesn t look like come close to reaching his full potential yet. But we ll see.
Anyhow, this post isn t meant to play one guy off against the other. It s possile the Mariners try to keep both to use as a first baseman and DH going forward.
Morales has a natural swing and is a pure hitter, regardless of his body-type.
But still, I figured it was time to get this debate in Seattle going a bit. Because the reality of what both guys have produced thus far is far too close to call compared to the perception of the two guys: of Morales being a keeper and Smoak a tentative maybe.
Who knows? Maybe it s the whole familiarity thing with Smoak locally. Some type of grass being greener elsewhere psychology that makes an import like Morales sexier than the warts-and-all guy in Smoak we ve all watched evolve here.
Still, if you removed the names and the RISP part and just showed the ages and baseline numbers of the two guys, I think we d have much more spirited discussion about who we d be giving the five-year,[http://hgn02194.chinaw3.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3051480 Les derniers chiffres de captures de saumon de l'océan], $65 million contract to.

Judge Stephen A. Wolaver, who heard the case in a bench trial in early June, found Saini guilty on both counts of murder.

Saini originally entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, at his arraignment last April.

While both prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed on the facts of the case and that Pardeep Saini suffers from schizophrenia, what was at issue is whether or not the defendant knew the wrongfulness of his acts, according to Ohio law.

According to testimony, Saini suffered from Capgras Syndrome, a symptom of schizophrenia or psychosis, where patients believe imposters have replaced family members and that such an imposter had inhabited his father and was going to attack him.

On Jan. 9, 2012, Saini s father, Onkar Saini, 66,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/arizona-cardinals-c-29 cheap Arizona Cardinals jerseys], was found dead in his bedroom of multiple gunshot wounds in the residence at 2436 Rumford Way at about 6:30 a.m.

Pardeep Saini shot him five times, then fled to a Hare Krishna temple, the Palace of Gold in Moundsville, 30 miles outside of Wheeling, W. Va.

The West Virginia State Police arrested Saini there on a Beavercreek Police warrant. He was tracked to West Virginia through credit card activity.

Saini will receive credit for 485 days served.</body></html>

== Derrière l'explosion ferroviaire , trop peu de cheminots ==

Une grande attention concernant la catastrophe ferroviaire du Québec a mis l'accent sur le ferroviaire. Mais pipelines viennent avec des risques aussi. Par exemple, un gazoduc a explosé dans le sud du Nouveau-Mexique en 2000, tuant 12 personnes. Plus tôt cette année, un pipeline Mobil Exxon transportant du brut canadien s'est rompu dans l'Arkansas, provoquant d'importants dégâts environnementaux. En outre, compte tenu de la dispersion géographique de la rampe fracking, chemins de fer sont le moyen le plus efficace d'exécuter une grande partie de ce pétrole. Beaucoup de ces domaines sont loin d'oléoducs existants, et parce que le pétrole récupéré serré avec fracking tend à épuiser plus rapidement que les gisements traditionnels, il s guère incités à construire de nouveaux pipelines dans de nombreux cas. Une autre question doit discuter: la taille des équipages de chemin de fer. le Wall Street Journal, ce train de cinq locomotives et 72 wagons-citernes était sous la garde d'une personne, l'ingénieur. One. Cette personne a arrêté le train à Nantes, Québec, dirigé vers un hôtel, laissant les diesels course de manière à maintenir la pression dans les conduites de frein, et allait être relevé par un autre ingénieur. C'est durant cette période que au moins une locomotive a pris feu. Un technicien de piste dans le Montréal Maine Atlantic, filiale du Monde ferroviaire basé dans l'Illinois, est arrivé pour aider les pompiers. Le propriétaire du rail mondiale a déclaré, selon le rapport du Journal, qui n'était pas technicien t qualifié de savoir que le moteur devait être à garder le frein de l'air entièrement engagée. On ne sait pas si le technicien a dit le répartiteur. Peu après, le train fou a rompu et a roulé en descente à Lac-Mgantic, faisant dérailler et de l'explosion, laissant 15 morts confirmés et disparus 60 de ce matin. Beaucoup de choses ont mal tourné. Mais un ingénieur pour un si grand train transportant des matières dangereuses semble téméraire. Pourtant, c'est le sens où une grande partie de l'industrie ferroviaire veut à la tête, et pas seulement de courtes lignes mais géants chemins de fer de classe 1. A travers les premières décennies du 20e siècle, les chemins de fer étaient les principaux employeurs. En 1929, les chemins de fer employaient plus de 2 millions de personnes. Aujourd'hui, le chiffre est d'environ 200.000. Ces réductions, des emplois bien rémunérés sécurisés syndicaux ont été rendues possibles par les progrès technologiques tels que les locomotives de plus en plus sophistiqués de diesel et de signalisation informatisée, le contrôle et de commutation, ainsi que l'obtention des règles de travail ont changé. Jusque dans les années 1970, de nombreux chemins de fer devaient avoir équipages de cinq personnes: ingénieur, pompier (un vestige de jours de vapeur), conducteur et serre-freins. Aujourd'hui, l'équipage standard sur une route de catégorie 1 est de deux personnes. L'arrière du train doesn t ont un fourgon de queue avec un équipage,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/chicago-bears-c-3 Nike Chicago Bears jerseys], mais une petite unité Fred attachée à la dernière voiture de fournir l'information électronique. Certains chantiers ont robots diesels que la commutation de la poignée, ce qui réduit en outre la nécessité pour l'homme. Il s une expérience de pensée intéressante à propos de ces réductions se passe autour de l'économie tout entière et où cela laisse le marché du travail, en particulier en tant que telle automatisation accélère dans l'avenir. Mais pour mile de long trains dont de nombreux caprices et les besoins d'exploitation défier une personne assise dans un centre d'expédition lointaine, c'est plus qu'un exercice intellectuel. Pour être sûr, la sécurité des chemins de fer a été bonne et trains emballement toujours été un danger. Mais comme la technologie supprime plus les gens de contrôle de ces efforts gigantesques et risquée, les dirigeants des chemins de fer et les régulateurs doivent faire attention.

<html>Much attention concerning the Quebec rail disaster has focused on the  by rail. But pipelines come with hazards, too. For example, a natural gas pipeline exploded in southeast New Mexico in 2000, killing 12. Earlier this year, an Exxon Mobil pipeline carrying Canadian crude ruptured in Arkansas, causing major environmental damage. Also, given the geographic dispersal of the fracking boom, railroads are the most efficient way of carrying much of this petroleum. Many of these fields are far from existing pipelines, and because tight oil recovered with fracking tends to deplete more quickly than traditional oilfields, there s little incentive to build new pipelines in many cases.
Another issue needs discussing: Railroad crew sizes.  the Wall Street Journal,[http://lawiki.kr/wiki/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Aetzefnpwc#Countdown_to_Training_Camp-_15_questions_in_15_days_.E2.80.94 Countdown to Training Camp- 15 questions in 15 days —], this train of five locomotives and 72 tanker cars was in the care of one person, the engineer. One. This person stopped the train in Nantes, Quebec, headed to a hotel, leaving the diesels running so as to keep pressure in the brake lines, and was going to be relieved by another engineer. It was during this time that at least one locomotive caught fire. A track technician from the Montreal Maine Atlantic, a subsidiary of Illinois-based Rail World, arrived to assist firefighters. The owner of Rail World said, according to the Journal s report, that technician wasn t qualified to know that the engine needed to be on to keep the air brake fully engaged. It is unclear if the technician told the dispatcher. Shortly afterward, the unmanned train broke away and rolled downhill to Lac-M��gantic, derailing and exploding, leaving 15 confirmed dead and 60 missing as of this morning.
Many things went wrong. But one engineer for such a large train carrying hazardous materials seems reckless. Yet this is the direction where much of the railroad industry wants to head, and not just short lines but giant Class 1 railroads.

Through the first several decades of the 20th century, railroads were major employers. In 1929, railroads employed more than 2 million people. Today the figure is around 200,000. These reductions in well-paying, secure union jobs have been made possible by technological advances such as ever more sophisticated diesel locomotives and computerized signalling, control and switching, as well as getting work rules changed. As late as the 1970s, many railroads were required to have crews of five people: Engineer, fireman (a holdover from steam days), conductor and brakemen. Today the standard crew on a Class 1 road is two people. The rear of the train doesn t have a caboose with a crew, but a small Fred unit attached to the last car to provide electronic information. Some yards have robot diesels that handle switching, further reducing the need for humans.
There s an interesting thought experiment about such reductions happening around the entire economy and where that leaves the labor market, especially as such automation accelerates in the future. But for mile-long trains whose many quirks and operating needs defy a person sitting in a distant dispatch center, this is more than an intellectual exercise. To be sure, railroad safety has been good and runaway trains always have been a danger. But as technology further removes people from control of such gigantic and risky endeavors,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/new-england-patriots-c-55 New England Patriots jerseys cheap sale], railroad executives and regulators need to pay attention.

== Beavercreek student goes to leadership seminar ==

<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>Beavercreek student goes to leadership seminar</br>7/11/2013 3:33:00 PMBeavercreek student goes to leadership seminarURBANA Krislyn Yoakum recently attended the Urbana University and Southwest Ohio Section of the Hugh O Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar. Yoakum joined other young leaders representing high school from throughout Southwest Ohio. Representing Beavercreek High School, Yoakum is the daughter of Michael and Karen Yoakum.

HOBY Leadership Seminars bring together a select group of high school sophomores from public and private high schools to interact with groups of distinguished leaders in business, government, education, media, and non-profit to discuss current and future issues. The goal is to provide young leaders a stimulating forum for learning development. After their HOBY program, Ambassadors are challenged to return to their communities to perform at least 100 hours of volunteer community service within 12 months following the Leadership Seminar. To date,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/arizona-cardinals-c-29 cheap Arizona Cardinals jerseys], HOBY Ambassadoors have performed over 2.5 million hours of volunteer service.

Hugh O Brian Youth Leadership was established in 1958 by the popular actor Hugh O Brian following a visit to Africa where he was inspired by a meeting with Dr. Albert Schweitzer.

 One of the things Sweitzer said to me was that the most important thing in education was to teach young people to think for themselves,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ nfl jerseys on sale],[http://www.upload-gp.co.jp/blog/android/2010/06/android-1.html#comments Seattle Men’s Chorus, Seattle Women’s], O Brian said. From that inspiration, and with the support of others who believe in youth and the American dream, I started HOBY to seek out, recognize, and develop outstanding leadership potential among our nation s youth. 

Further information about HOBY programs and sponsorship opportunities is available by contacting: Sandy Hunt, seminar chair at 937-416-7687.</body></html>

The NFL claims that the union is showing "buyer's remorse" about a collective bargaining agreement signed in 2011. That agreement made commissioner Roger Goodell the lone overseer of player punishment and discipline. The union wants an independent third party to decide on all punishments for human growth hormone, which the league is against.&nbsp;:

"The only case of buyer's remorse is the attached letter that the NFL agreed to weeks ago. Our signature is on it. Sign it, like you agreed to, and we start drawing blood from players immediately. Your refusal to sign it confirms that the only thing you care about is power."

The NFLPA want the NFL to immediately agree to HGH testing,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ cheap nike nfl jerseys], provided an independent third party will handle punishment. It's the latest road block delaying regular testing in professional football.

== Einhorn Sees Unification Of Leagues As Selig's Biggest Accom ==

<html>MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has frequently cited labor peace as his foremost accomplishment in nearly 21 years in the post. Drug reform has been prominent in recent years. Others near to him have pointed to improved competitive balance,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 wholesale Washington Redskins jerseys], increased revenue sharing, the expanded playoff format, and ballpark development as hallmarks of his tenure.<br>
Chicago White Sox Vice Chairman Eddie Einhorn has a different opinion on Selig. Einhorn, who along with partner Jerry Reinsdorf rank among the longest-tenured MLB team owners, believes the dissolution of the American and National leagues as separate business entities is undoubtedly the biggest thing that Bud has done. In 2000,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 Nike Washington Redskins jerseys],[http://wiki.learninglife.cc/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Mccauleyea5#Britain.27s_Cameron_recalls_Parliament_for_urgent_discussion_o Britain's Cameron recalls Parliament for urgent discussion o], Selig led the administrative consolidation of the two leagues, ending nearly a century of the AL and NL as separate units.<br>

== 'American Horror Story'- Ryan Murphy Teases 'Coven' Clues in ==

our editor recommends'American Horror Story': Watch the First 'Coven' Teaser (Video)'American Horror Story': Five Things to Know About 'Coven''American Horror Story': Alexandra Breckenridge Returns for 'Coven'
In a behind-the-scenes look into the show s Emmy-nominated opening titles,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/new-england-patriots-c-55 New England Patriots jerseys Nike], Murphy and title designer Kyle Cooper explain the objective behind the creeptastic sequence.



 I ve always been obsessed with main titles, I really feel like it s an art form, Murphy says. It tells you what the viewing experience ahead is going to be. 

For example: Clues to Asylum were featured in the opening credits, including a glimpse at people stuck in a bathtub of horror -- a teaser for the gross milk baths that Lana and other inmates endured. Each frame, Murphy says reflecting back on the season that has garnered 17 Emmy nominations,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/san-diego-chargers-c-91 Nike San Diego Chargers jerseys], felt like a miniature piece of art.

Murphy wanted to use existing sets and locations to create the dark imagery featured in Asylum s opening credits and notes that he enjoyed watching the fan responses as they tried to decipher the clues -- many of which he says were spot-on.



 You have to watch it 10 times because every frame is a clue for what the season will be, Murphy explains. And ever year it has a different tone, look and concept. By the last frame of the main title for Coven, you ll really have an idea of what the last frame of the Coven season will be. 

For Coven, the typography that has become synonymous with the series will return, though Cooper and the producers were trying to make something completely different. 



 If you can make a title sequence that elicits an emotional reaction, that s a successful title sequence, Cooper says.&nbsp;

This is the final top 25 power poll for the preseason. This power ranking will be the one that starts the season off and will be updated after the first weeks games are over.

For this power poll, there was not a lot of change at the top of the board. Denver stays atop of the board with San Fran close behind.? The middle showed a little bit of movement with the Bills dropping 1 spot after their loss.? Pittsburgh, Minnesota,[http://gczls.uueasy.com/read.php?tid=2449590 The mitt from King Tut's tomb], and St. Louis both jumped up 1 spot.? Kansas City dropped 2 spots this week as they were the biggest mover.? Oakland was able to crack the top 25 this week pushing Philadelphia out .

It will be interesting to see what type of movement occurs after the first weeks games are played.

Here is BLD s Top 25 Power Poll.

== US readies possible solo action against Syria ==

<html>WASHINGTON (AP) ― President  on Thursday prepared for the possibility of launching unilateral American military action against Syria within days as Britain opted out in a stunning vote by Parliament. Facing skepticism at home, too, the administration shared intelligence with lawmakers aimed at convincing them the Syrian government used chemical weapons against its people and must be punished.
Despite roadblocks in forming an international coalition, Obama appeared undeterred and advisers said he would be willing to retaliate against Syria on his own.
"The president of the United States is elected with the duty to protect the national security interests in the United States of America," White House spokesman  said.
Even before the vote in London,[http://anti666.ir/wiki/index.php?title=%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A8%D8%B1:Ywtikvhxka#Volvo_releases_photos_of_new_concept_coupe Volvo releases photos of new concept coupe], the U.S. was preparing to act without formal authorization from the United Nations, where Russia has blocked efforts to seek a resolution authorizing the use of force, or from Capitol Hill. But the U.S. had expected Britain, a major ally, to join in the effort.
Top U.S. officials spoke with certain lawmakers for more than 90 minutes in a teleconference Thursday evening to explain why they believe 's government was the culprit in a suspected chemical attack last week. Lawmakers from both parties have been pressing Obama to provide a legal rationale for military action, to specify objectives and to lay out a firm case linking Assad to the attack.
Afterward, the  leader, Rep.  of California, pointedly sided with Republican Speaker  of Ohio in urging the administration to do more to engage with  on the matter, even as she expressed "my appreciation for the measured, targeted and limited approach the president may be considering."
She said in a statement she agreed with Boehner and other lawmakers who say the administration needs to consult more with "all members of Congress" ― a reference to the limited circle briefed Thursday night ― and provide "additional transparency into the decision-making process."
The high-level officials who spoke to the lawmakers offered more details of the suspected chemical attack and their firm conviction that the Syrian government was to blame ― but little new evidence backing up that conviction. It remained to be seen whether any skeptics were swayed by the call, given the expectation in advance that officials would hold back classified information to protect intelligence sources and methods.
The officials told lawmakers 1,300 men, women and children died in the attack, said Rep.  of Maryland, top Democrat on the . That's a far higher death toll than has been reported; the humanitarian group  says the attack outside Damascus killed 355.
A number of lawmakers raised questions in the briefing about how the administration would finance a military operation as the  is grappling with automatic spending cuts and reduced budgets.
Sen.  of Oklahoma, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee and a participant on the call, said in a statement that the administration presented a "broad range of options" for dealing with Syria but failed to offer a single plan, timeline, strategy or explanation of how it would pay for any military operation.
"The main thing was that they have no doubt that Assad's forces used chemical weapons," New York Rep. , top Democrat on the  and a supporter of Obama's course, said after the briefing.
Even so, he said the officials did not provide much new evidence of that.
"They said they have (intercepted) some discussions and some indications from a high-level official," he said, and that they possess intelligence showing material being moved in advance of the attack.
An intelligence report similar to the findings shared with lawmakers Thursday night is expected to be released publicly on Friday.
In London, Prime Minister  argued a military strike would be legal on humanitarian grounds. But he faced deep pressure from lawmakers and had already promised not to undertake military action until a  chemical weapons team on the ground in Syria released its findings about the Aug. 21 attack.
The prime minister said in terse comments after the vote that while he believes in a "tough response" to the use of chemical weapons, he would respect the will of the House of Commons.
, Obama's  spokeswoman, said the U.S. would continue to consult with Britain but Obama would make decisions based on "the best interests of the United States."
It was not certain the U.S. would have to act alone. France announced that its armed forces "have been put in position to respond" if President  commits forces to intervention against Syria. Hollande does not need French parliamentary approval to launch military action that lasts less than four months.
Assad, who has denied using chemical weapons, vowed his country "will defend itself against any aggression."
Some of the U.N. chemical weapons experts will travel directly from Syria on Saturday to different laboratories around Europe to deliver "an extensive amount of material" gathered,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/new-england-patriots-c-55 New England Patriots jerseys Nike], U.N. spokesman  said. While the mandate of the U.N. team is to determine whether chemical agents were used in the attack, not who was responsible, Haq suggested the evidence ― which includes biological samples and witness interviews ― might give an indication of who deployed gases.
Obama and other top officials have not revealed definitive evidence to back claims that Assad used chemical weapons on Syrians. U.S. officials say the intelligence assessments are no "slam dunk," with questions remaining about who actually controls some of Syria's chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether Assad himself ordered the strike.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence publicly.
Despite shortcomings in the intelligence, the White House signaled urgency in acting, with Earnest, the White House spokesman saying the president believes there is a "compressed time frame" for responding.
"It is important for the Assad regime and other totalitarian dictators around the world to understand that the international community will not tolerate the indiscriminate, widespread use of chemical weapons, particularly against women and children as they're sleeping in their beds," he said.
But many Congress members were pressing Obama to explain the need for military action and address fears that such a move might draw the U.S. deeper into the Syrian civil war.
Washington Rep. , senior Democrat on the , cautioned that an attack might be ineffective and might draw the United States into the Syrian civil war, now in its third year.
"Simply lashing out with military force under the banner of 'doing something' will not secure our interests in Syria," Smith said in a statement.
Obama continued making his case for a robust response to world leaders, speaking Thursday with German Chancellor . With national elections scheduled in Germany for next month,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ Customized NFL Jerseys], Merkel is unlikely to pull her country into a military conflict.
Merkel also discussed Syria by phone Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, insisting that the attack "requires an international reaction," Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said.
Obama has ruled out putting American forces on the ground in Syria or setting up a no-fly zone over the country. He's also said any U.S. response to the chemical weapons attack would be limited in scope and aimed solely at punishing Assad for deploying deadly gases, not at regime change.
"We do have to make sure that when countries break international norms on weapons like chemical weapons that could threaten us, that they are held accountable," he said during a television interview.
The most likely military option would be Tomahawk cruise missile strikes from four Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. At a minimum, Western forces are expected to strike targets that symbolize Assad's military and political might: military and national police headquarters, including the Defense Ministry; the Syrian military's general staff; and the four-brigade Republican Guard that is in charge of protecting Damascus, Assad's seat of power. Assad's ruling Baath Party headquarters could be targeted, too.
U.S. officials also are considering attacking military command centers and vital forces, communications hubs and weapons caches, including ballistic missile batteries.

== Yasiel Puig pulled from Wednesday's game ==

<html>The Yasiel Puig saga continues. He was pulled from Wednesday s game by Don Mattingly, who wouldn t disclose the reason why he benched the young star, but it seemed like it was because Puig wasn t prepared, in the field, on every pitch.

This development comes one week after Puig was  for arriving late to the ballpark, and even before that continuing to make bad baseball plays on the field.

The Dodgers are a veteran laden team, and it seems as though they should be able to fix this problem quickly,[http://rcwiki.goumin.com/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:Ymdbiodxqj#Best_Mutual_Funds_0 Best Mutual Funds 0], especially with their manager having zero tolerance for his antics. Ricky Nolasco, who pitched on Wednesday and threw eight scoreless while allowing just three hits and striking out eleven, gave his thoughts on the situation.

 He s young. He s going to have to learn,?it s not going to be a distraction. There are a lot of veterans on the team and we know there are going to be some growing pains. As long as he learns from them, that s the most important thing because he s going to help the team a ton more than he s going to do things like that,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ discount nfl jerseys], said Nolasco, according to .

Nolasco seemed to have a very positive attitude about the whole fiasco, but he has not been there all season. Puig, on the other hand, made a comment that was a very positive sign, agreeing with Mattingly s decision.

 I wasn t prepared well for each pitch. It was a good decision, he mentioned Skip could come in and do a better job,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ Customized NFL Jerseys], said Puig, according to .

This could be a case of Puig just saying all the right things, but, if it is him showing more maturity, that bodes well for both him individually and the Dodgers. If he does not change anything after his second benching in one week, who knows what will happen, because it doesn t seem like Mattingly is willing to put up with much more.</html>

== Whats the end ==

<html>The president is up early, already showered and preparing to shave. Wiping steam from the mirror, he grimaces slightly at his image.

Obama: Good grief, I look old. So much gray.


Mirror: Aw, lighten up, Bo, it makes you look distinguished. You can t wage war without a few streaks of worry showing in your face and hair.


(Obama hits his megawatt-smile switch.)


Even my smile looks old. And by the way, Bo is the dog. I am Barack Obama. I am the president of the United States, leader of the free world ...


Keep telling yourself that, buddy, and maybe you ll be able to believe it. All the other presidents managed to.


Buddy was also a dog. What s your problem?


Nothing, just trying to keep you grounded. So what s it going to be, Mr. Red Line? You going to go it alone?


What the hell?! What is wrong with David Cameron? I can t count on anybody! First, John Boehner can t get those tea party nitwits to do anything anything! and now the Brits won t go with me to Syria. Where s Tony Blair when you need him?! Probably making a pilgrimage someplace. Maybe I should become a Catholic, too. Then I can say, oops, I guess I was wrong, but, you know, I did what I thought was best.


I m not sure Cardinal Dolan would go for that after you, ahem, misled him on the whole religious liberty thing. But, hey, at least you ve got the French.


Ah oui. Assad must be terrified.


But, yeah,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/arizona-cardinals-c-29 Nike Arizona Cardinals jerseys], Blair and Bush didn t even have WMD. We at least know that Assad has chemical weapons and used them against his own people. You re stuck with those images, buddy. Oh, sorry. Have you heard from Colin?


Nooooooooo. (Chuckles.)


Maybe he could help.


I must be sick. Suddenly I want to talk to W, the poor slob. He got saddled with yellowcake. I m yoked to red line. Why are we always talking in primary colors? I feel like an idiot. I m not a war president! I m an end-the-war guy. I m a drone striker, not a missile cruiser. I just wanted to heal the sick, help the poor and maybe shift a tide here and there. I feel like I m going to throw up. All those kids. Oh my god.


(A woman s voice penetrates the closed bathroom door.)


Michelle Obama: Barack, what are you doing in there? Your steel-cut oatmeal is getting cold. Did you want some fair-trade organic blackstrap molasses on that? Barack? Barack? OK then, I ve got a mani in five. I ll just leave it on your dresser. Don t forget to take your Male Supreme tonic. And your bloodroot and burdock root. Oh, hey, Dawn! I didn t hear you come in. So I m thinking blue shellac. Crazy, right?


President: MehmehMEHmehmehmeh-meh.


Mirror: Look, Mr. President, you re much too hard on yourself. Read your own lips: No good options. You probably shouldn t have drawn the red line, sure, but who knew Assad would go there? And by the way, let s enjoy a moment of irony, shall we?


Your Republican pals? You know, the ones who were in a swoon over shock and awe, suddenly they re the ones urging caution? Now they re the ones who want U.N. approval? Suddenly THEY need absolute proof that Assad used chemical weapons. Where was this skepticism when we invaded Iraq? Rich.


Well, if we learned anything from that fiasco, it s that no matter how noble our intentions going in, we can t control what happens the day after. And whatever worse is, worse will happen. It s that damned red line. Why can t I just say, look, all I said was there would be consequences and that Assad would be held accountable?


That doesn t mean I have to bomb Syria and possibly ignite a global war. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah they d love it. Better that I overstated a bluff than that I spill more blood and possibly enter into yet another endless war with people who will hate us no matter what. Without international support. ... Who knows where it will end?


But the children, Mr. President. Those images. The suffering. 100,000 dead. Your credibility.


I know,[http://cc.one.mn/index.php/%D0%A5%D1%8D%D1%80%D1%8D%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%8D%D0%B3%D1%87:Yxvfbuuszx#Yasiel_Puig.2C_mistakes.2C_adjustments_.26_media_reaction Yasiel Puig, mistakes, adjustments & media reaction], I know.


(Obama presses a towel to his chin and reaches for his cell,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ Cheap NFL Jerseys], punching 1 on speed dial.)


Hello, George? Got a minute?

<br><br>
Los Angeles Clippers History
<br><br>
The Los Angeles Clippers were an expansion team added to the NBA in 1970 along with the Portland Trail Blazers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Mirroring most expansion teams, this franchise experienced tough sledding during its formulative years when they were based in Buffalo and called the Braves. Through poor trades and mismanagement, this team traded away talent like Moses Malone and Bob McAdoo. This prompted the team to be a bottom dweller, which is why they moved out West to San Diego.
<br><br>
After the move to San Diego, the team changed its name to the Clippers and could only manage to post one winning record, which came in their first season in this city. They would struggle over their next 13 seasons that included another move to Los Angeles. However, rebuilding and having a permanent home would pay off years down the road for this franchise. This final move took place in 1984 and the Clippers would rival the L.A. Lakers for fan support in this city.
<br><br>
While the Lakers have always been viewed as the big brother of the two basketball teams in L.A., the Clippers have taken great strides to match them in talent on their team over the past few seasons. Since 2006, the Clippers have had a massive upswing that has seen them make the playoffs in each of the last 3 seasons. The addition of star players like Blake Griffin and Baron Davis has been major contributors to this recent success.<br><br>2013 Los Angeles Clippers Tickets

== Nutrition after surgery- What you need to know for a speedy ==

<html>On average,[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/washington-redskins-c-5 redskins jersey], a person can expect to lose 5 to 10 percent of total body weight after surgery. To infuse the body with calories and nutrition, consider protein first. Protein is needed to repair tissue, slow muscle catabolism and decrease the inflammatory phase. Post-operative protein requirements range from 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. For elective surgery,[http://xinyue.site40.net/home.php?mod=space&uid=9684 ],[http://www.nikenfljerseys.org/ wholesale nike nfl jerseys], the low end of the range is sufficient. For major surgery, the higher end of the spectrum is more appropriate.</html>
