In the games
Lt. Surge is known as the "Lightning Lieutenant". Apparently, he is or was an American soldier who fought in at least one war, during which Electric-type Pokémon saved his life. As a member of the army, Surge was a strict CO, and was rather cautious. He was a pilot as well, and used Electric-type Pokémon to power his planes, a practice that in at least one occasion saved his life. Also, Surge saved the life of one of the Trainers in his Gym who was in the army at the same time.
A little paranoid, Lt. Surge installed a series of traps in the Gym. He takes a liking to Trainers with a lot of guts.
In addition to the Thunder Badge, Lt. Surge gives out TM24RBY/TM36PE (Thunderbolt) in the Generation I games and Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!. In FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver he gives out TM34 (Shock Wave). In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, he doesn't give out a TM. Also, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he trades a foreign Pikachu with the player for another Pikachu. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, in addition to the Thunder Badge and the reward TM, he also gives the player his Autograph as a reward for defeating him.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he will be outside of the Power Plant between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. This only occurs after the player has captured, not defeated, Zapdos. If the player defeated Zapdos, they will need to battle the Elite Four again for Zapdos to reappear. If the player arrives walking with a Pikachu, he will happily give his Pokégear number out, and if called on Friday morning, will be at the Fighting Dojo for a rematch. After the player gets his Pokégear number, he will be at the Magnet Train station in Saffron City. There he'll offer to trade his French Pikachu, nicknamed Volty, for the player's Pikachu that he saw at the Power Plant (though it need not be the same one). She will be at the same level as the Pikachu traded, will know the moves appropriate for that level, and be holding a Yellow Shard.

In the main series
Lt. Surge appeared in Electric Shock Showdown. He was quick to show off his powerful Raichu upon Ash's arrival at the Vermilion Gym. Lt. Surge then laughed at the sight of Pikachu and mocked him for his apparent weakness, though he eventually agreed to battle Ash. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed and defeated by Raichu's onslaught of attacks.
After Pikachu recovered at the local Pokemon Center, Ash had a rematch with Lt. Surge. When Pikachu was able to use his Agility to evade Raichu's attacks, Lt. Surge had Raichu use Thunderbolt to destroy the Gym's lights and glass windows. However, Pikachu didn't sustain any damage after he grounded himself with his tail, while Raichu exhausted all of its electrical power. Pikachu then used the opportunity to defeat Raichu, earning Ash his third Badge, the Thunder Badge.
He reappeared in a flashback in Pika and Goliath!.
In JN018, it is revealed that Surge left the Gym in the care of Visquez and left on his own journey to become a better Electric Pokémon Trainer. It is also revealed that he trained the Raichu that Visquez owns, and Ash's fame has grown among the Trainers at Vermillion Gym.
An intimidating person, Lt. Surge surrounds himself with other tough-looking Trainers. He is arrogant, loud, and crude; and refers to all challengers as "babies" until they manage to defeat him. Lt. Surge generally looks down on unevolved Pokémon, preferring to evolve them as soon as possible. He also seems to be an extremely brutal battler, as nearly every Trainer that faced him ended up with their Pokémon being seriously injured.
In spite of his preference for evolved Pokémon, Lt. Surge does not take into account any advantages an unevolved Pokémon may have over their evolved forms. Though he managed to defeat Ash and Pikachu once with pure power, Pikachu was able to use speed-altering moves like Agility, which Raichu couldn't learn, to outrun and defeat it. Surge and Raichu came to respect Ash and Pikachu's tenacity after this defeat, and, as shown in JN018, tells his Gym Trainers stories about their rematch to this day.
This listing is of Lt. Surge's known Pokémon in the anime:

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Red, Green & Blue chapter
Lt. Surge is one of the evil sub-leaders of Team Rocket. In his debut round, Danger: High Voltorb, he used the S.S. Anne in Vermilion City to transport captured Pokémon illegally. He tried to kill Red, but was bested after Red's Poliwhirl evolved into Poliwrath.
Lt. Surge captured Zapdos at the abandoned Power Plant under Giovanni's orders. He then fought Red at Silph Co. with an Electrode bazooka and Magneton shield all powered by his newly caught Zapdos. He also had an electrocution suit on so he couldn't be shocked by Zapdos' power. Red waits for him to make Zapdos use its full power and makes Saur cut up the power cords to his machines and his suit so he gets electrocuted instead. However, he, along with the rest of Team Rocket, was dispersed when the chimera made from the legendary Pokémon was defeated by Red, Blue, and Green in Saffron City.
Yellow chapter
Some time later, the Elite Four tried to destroy humanity. Team Rocket's admins joined up with Blue, Green and Yellow to stop them. During the battle against the Elite Four on Cerise Island, Lt. Surge was paired with Red according to Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. However, with Red absent due to injuries, Lt. Surge had to choose Bill as his partner instead, whose Spoon had not bent due to the fact that he was accompanying Green and Yellow, thus not intending to battle in the first place. When Red arrived the moment that Bill and Lt. Surge were about to lose, Lt. Surge's spoon bent, revealing Red as his true partner. Red then resumed his battle with Bruno. When it finished, Lt. Surge became fed up and pushed Bill into the acidic waters below, though Bill was saved by Red.
Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter
In Johto, Lt. Surge owned and captained the new luxury liner, S.S. Aqua. He was first seen driving out of the Union Cave in a submarine. His Magnemite accidentally captured Crystal, who later freed his submarine by capturing the Corsola that were keeping it stuck. He repaid her by taking her to Olivine City free of charge. He then went to Mahogany Town to investigate the rise of Team Rocket under a different leader, since Koga and Giovanni disappeared and Sabrina was busy healing her wounds. He confronted the Masked Man, but lost and barely managed to escape with his life. He then stumbled upon Silver's Gyarados while exploring the Lake of Rage.
He is then led to several items of Gold and Silver's including one of their Pokédexes and goes to Morty so he can use them to locate the lost boys, who tells him that they are at the Whirl Islands. He is able to return their stuff and watches the Johto Pokédex holders battle against Lugia before a message is sent to him stating that he is being summoned to a Gym Leader tournament at Indigo Plateau that would pit the Kanto Gym Leaders against the Johto Gym Leaders. Lt. Surge is fatefully pitted against Morty for the competition, but their match ends in a draw due to Morty's Misdreavus using Destiny Bond just as his Magnemite beats it. Soon, the Masked Man struck. Using his latest recruitment, Raikou, Lt. Surge separated the two coaches of the Magnet Train and returned it to Indigo Plateau before challenging the Masked Man (along with Misty and Blaine) and losing to him. The excess electricity fed to the Magnet Train proved useful later on.
Lt. Surge prefers to travel by sea, as he captains two ships and drives a submarine. He can also fly through the air by having four of his Magneton create an energy platform for him to ride on.
In battle, Lt. Surge generally prefers to use his Electabuzz to zap anything that gets in his way. He also uses other Electric-type Pokémon to provide distractions with Selfdestruct.
This listing is of Lt. Surge's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
| Electabuzz is one of Lt. Surge's most powerful Pokémon and he noted that he is disobedient and Surge couldn't even get it in a Poké Ball. He was first seen on the S.S. Anne, where Surge sent him out to fight against Red and his Poliwhirl. He seemingly had the upper hand until the Water-type Pokémon evolved into a Poliwrath after being pushed off the side of the ship, which resulted in Red defeating Surge and Electabuzz. He was used to fight against Red again during the battle at Silph Co.. Two years later, Electabuzz was used in the battle of Cerise Island, where he helped battle Bruno, but was not able to damage his Pokémon due to their evasiveness. During the Gym Leader Tournament in Johto, he fought against Morty's Gastly and Misdreavus, who almost defeated him before Surge switched him with Magnemite.
Electabuzz's known moves are Thunder Punch, Thunderbolt, Thunder Shock, and Thunder, and his Ability is Static.
|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!
| Lt. Surge owns many Magneton and uses them for aerial transportation by having them create an energy platform using their magnetic charge. He has carried (and sometimes trapped) many people using this ability, from allies like Bill and Gold and enemies such as Red.
Magneton's known moves are Supersonic, Sonic Boom, Flash, and Thunderbolt.
|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!
| Lt. Surge owns many Magnemite that first appeared acting somewhat like guards of the S.S. Anne. In Johto, Surge used one in the Gym Leader Tournament, where it defeated Morty's Misdreavus before it fainted from the effect of Destiny Bond, resulting in a tie between the two Gym Leaders.
Magnemite's known moves are Protect and Zap Cannon.
|Danger: High Voltorb
| The main bulk of Lt. Surge's force resides in the power of his Voltorb and Electrode's Selfdestructs, and he has many of them on his team. This strategy was particularly instrumental in the defeat of Bruno when one of Surge's Electrodes used its Selfdestruct on Bill's Exeggcute's Egg Bomb, resulting in an explosion that took down Bruno's Onix, which was being used as a platform for the battle. They also later proved handy when their combined Selfdestruct attacks aided in his narrow escape from the Masked Man.
Voltorb's only known move is Thunder Wave.
Electrode's only known move is Self-Destruct.
|Danger: High Voltorb
Lt. Surge's Raichu was very briefly seen at Silph Co. but didn't participate in battle until Surge went to Johto. There, he was used to battle the Masked Man's Houndour and to very briefly fight against the Red Gyarados before he realized that he wasn't the enemy, as he was trying to free Silver.
|Go for the Golbat
Zapdos was used as an experiment from Team Rocket. He took control of it prior to Zap! Zap! Zapdos. Around the end of the battle against Red, it ended up shocking Lt. Surge with its tremendous Thunder attack after Saur's Razor Leaf tore up his insulating underwear, rendering it useless and nearly killing him. As a result, Red earned his Badge and stole his electric-proof gloves. While he was knocked out cold, Zapdos was called upon by Sabrina's Kadabra and was merged into Thu-Fi-Zer, the Rockets' ultimate creation. After its defeat, it flew away alongside its fellow Legendary birds and was later recaught by Green.
|Go for the Golbat
Raikou was partnered up with Lt. Surge in the battle against the Masked Man. After Surge was rendered inoperative by the villain, it partnered up with Gold instead, and went back to the wild when everything had been resolved. Much later, it was recaught by Salon Maiden Anabel in Johto and became her major powerhouse.
|Slugging it out with Slugma
Lt. Surge found this special Gyarados after being frozen in the Lake of Rage in Do-Si-Do with Dodrio. This happened during Gold and Silver's battle with the Masked Man. He returned him to Silver afterwards.
|Raise the Red Gyarados
In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga
Lt. Surge appeared as a silhouette in JBA5 alongside his Raichu and the other Kanto Gym Leaders.
This is a listing of Lt. Surge's known Pokémon in the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga:
Raichu is Lt. Surge's only known Pokémon. It only appeared as a silhouette.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
Lt. Surge first appears in The Big Activity In The Mountains And The Oceans!!, where he is seen on the S.S. Anne.
He shouts out a speech to the fishermen who showed no interest and threw rocks at him, due to the fact that he was responsible for the theft of a whole bunch of Water-type Pokémon. Red goes onboard and meets him. While on board, Red challenges him to a Pokémon battle with Lt. Surge using Voltorb. Red pits Clefairy against the Poké Ball-shaped object. Voltorb attacks Clefairy but Clefairy uses a deflector to negate the attack. During the battle, the fisherman boo him whenever he got the upperhand.
In the middle of the battle, Voltorb evolves into an Electrode and Red's Pikachu teams up with Clefairy to defeat the Electrode. Electrode is defeated when Clefairy fires a beam at it. The Electrode gets sent to one of the cannons which caused an explosion which destroyed the ship. Lt. Surge becomes upset when a whole bunch of his Water-type Pokémon become free.
Unlike other media, Lt. Surge has more Pokémon that is not the type he specializes in.
This is a listing of Lt. Surge's known Pokémon in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga:
| Lt. Surge's Voltorb took on Clefairy. Seeing that Voltorb is a tough opponent, Red's Pikachu also volunteered in the battle. Voltorb evolved into an Electrode during the middle of their challenge. However, it was beaten by Clefairy and Pikachu.
None of Electrode's moves are known.
|The Big Activity In The Mountains And The Oceans!!
| While Lt. Surge was laughing at Clefairy, both Poliwhirl and Kingler were also laughing at Clefairy.
None of their moves are known.
|The Big Activity In The Mountains And The Oceans!!
| After the ship exploded due to Electrode's collision, a majority of Water-type Pokémon that were taken end up swimming away, with a Horsea and Seel being one of them.
None of their move's are known.
|The Big Activity In The Mountains And The Oceans!!
In the Pokémon Zensho manga
Lt. Surge first appeared in PZ04 and challenged Satoshi to a Gym battle.
| Electabuzz is Lt. Surge's only used Pokémon. It went up against Satoshi's Charmeleon and lost due to Charmeleon taking advantage of a barb-wired fence.
None of Electabuzz's moves are known.
|Vermilion City
| As Satoshi was wondering which Pokémon Lt. Surge was going to use, the Captain tells him that he has an Electrode on the team. However, it was not used in the Gym battle and it was revealed that Electrode evolved from a Voltorb when Lt. Surge was telling Satoshi the time he was in the navy and a Voltorb crashes to a tree and the tree fell down.
None of Electrode's moves are known.
|Vermilion City
| As Satoshi was wondering which Pokémon Lt. Surge was going to use, the Captain told him that he has a Magnemite and Magneton on the team. However, they were not used in the Gym battle.
None of Magnemite or Magneton's moves are known.

In the TFG
Lt. Surge was slated to be released as a Trainer figure in the Unnamed Third Set of the Pokémon Trading Figure Game.
- His Japanese Gym Leader title is ライトニング タフガイ. Prior to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, his title was "The Lightning American!" or イナズマ アメリカン! in Japanese.
- He uses several English phrases such as "Goddamn" in the Japanese anime and games.
- Due to his team in Pokémon Yellow consisting solely of a Raichu (to mimic the anime), that battle him is the only one against any Gym Leader in the games to consist of only one opposing Pokémon.
- As a member of the United States Army, Lt. Surge is one of two Gym Leaders known to have taken residence outside the Pokémon nation; the other is Fantina.
- In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lt. Surge has a Raichu that knows Surf and Reversal. It is impossible to obtain such a Raichu in the games, as Surf is an event move for Pikachu while Reversal is an Egg Move.
- As in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lt. Surge's Trainer ID number is 33038.
- In the Pokémon World Tournament, the man who describes all of the World Leaders questions if Lt. Surge is from Unova. This is probably because Lt. Surge is from America, and the Unova region is based on New York City.
- It is also mentioned in Unova's history that they have been at war, which Lt. Surge also mentions in the Generation I games and their remakes.
- In the Chuang Yi translation of Pokémon Pocket Monsters, he is called "Matisse".
- Lt. Surge is the only character in Pokémon Masters whose Japanese voice is the same as in the anime.

SDO, the Sun, the Universe
Dean Pesnell, NASA / GSFC
ABSTRACT: The Sun is our best example for how stars evolve and behave. It is the only star whose surface is well-resolved in time and space. It is the only star which local helioseisomology can look into and through. One tool we to study the Sun is the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), a NASA satellite that has been returning data for seven years. SDO focuses on the variations in the Sun caused by changes in the magnetic field generated by the convection zone.I will describe some aspects of SDO science that can be directly related to Sun-like stars. First are spectral irradiance measurements in extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that contribute to the loss of planetary atmospheres. Next are failed filament eruptions that fall back onto the surface as a form of accretion. Finally, how the magnetic field evolves from solar minimum to maximum and back is giving us clues about predicting that magnetic field. Please come and have a look at how studying the Sun informs our knowledge of stars.

Europe's widening horse meat scandal, which has seen thousands of packages of beef products pulled from store shelves, suddenly stole the attention of U.S. audiences Monday when IKEA announced that a batch of Swedish meatballs tested positive for traces of equine DNA.
Though IKEA products in the U.S. come from North American suppliers and are considered safe, familiarity with the international furniture giant's miniature meatballs was enough to stir up the mix of outrage and humor in the U.S. that has been reverberating throughout Western Europe for more than a month.
"Gross, these are in my freezer!" tweeted @lisagooder, an editor in New York.
Modern Seinfeld, a Twitter account devoted to imagining "Seinfeld" episodes around current events, used the opportunity to invent a scene in which character George Costanza complains to Jerry Seinfeld about the unfair advantage horses have over other animals that are routinely devoured without hesitation.
"Cow is fine but not horse? It's animal racism, Jerry!"
In fact, the aversion to horse meat runs deep in the states, and attempts by daring chefs and restaurateurs to serve horse-based dishes have elicited passionate and even violent responses.
Last week, the owner of Monsu, a restaurant in Philadelphia, was threatened after announcing his plan to add horse meat to the menu.
"They called into the restaurant and said, 'You guys start cooking horses, I am going to blow up your restaurant,'" Peter McAndrews told NBC10.com.
M. Wells Dinette, a New York eatery that has served everything from goat liver to beef tongue, pulled plans to serve horse tartare, which it had been touting, after animal rights advocates whipped up more than 1,000 signatures on a change.org petition.
The strong reactions, Food Museum co-founder Meredith Sayles said, come from the American perception of horses as something more than just animals.
"In the U.S. and U.K. horses are almost considered pets," Sayles said. "And we don't eat our pets."
Unlike cows, which have long been used for food products ranging from milk to beef, horses have had more of a noble history in North America.
When Spaniards brought their horses to the Americas, Sayles said, they were quickly viewed by Native Americans as an important means of transportation. Since then, they have become even more ingrained in American culture through their beloved roles in literature and cinema.
Consider "Flicka," Sayles suggests, a 2006 movie about the relationship between a girl and a wild mustang.
A 2011 Government Accountability Office report on the subject of horse slaughter in the U.S. — another topic that has stirred up heated debate — noted that many advocates of reviving a federal ban cite the "horse's iconic role in helping to settle the American West," its history on American farms and value as a recreational animal, in their objections to treating horses like just another beast.
Though the meat was once a common ingredient in dog food for its availability and attractive price tag, horse meat — even for pets — had fallen out of favor in the U.S. by the end of World War II.
"Some of it was that there were fewer horses, and some of it was animal rights," said Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at NYU, who writes the Food Politics blog. At the time, she pointed out, conditions at horse slaughterhouses "were pretty bad."
U.S. & World
The ASPCA, which has been a vocal advocate for legislation that would prohibit the export of horses for slaughter, found that 80 percent of Americans opposed slaughter for human consumption.
"Anyone who has been to the movies lately knows the price horses have paid by carrying us to war, building our nation, and serving our entertainment and companionship needs," wrote Nancy Perry, senior vice president of ASPCA Government Relations. "Americans have a responsibility to protect these intelligent, sensitive animals from being butchered."
Many critics of the European horse meat crisis, on both sides of the Atlantic, have objected more vehemently to the mislabeling of meat products and the dangers of skirted regulations than they have to the idea of people eating horse.
But that's little indication the American public is ready to add one of its favorite animals to its diet.
"They're pets, they're companion animals," Nestle said. "People love them. I mean truly love them."

Belfast Climate & Weather
Typical of Ireland as a whole, Belfast has a temperate climate, with a narrow range of fairly mild temperatures and plenty of rainfall all year. In summer, between June and August, average temperatures range between 49°F (9°C) and 66°F (19°C). Although rain is possible at any time of year, the summer months are slightly less rainy than the rest of the year. June is the driest and the sunniest month and July is generally the warmest. In winter, between December and February, average temperatures range between 37°F (3°C) and 46°F (8°C). November, December and January are the wettest months. The city seldom gets snow, with an average of less than 10 snowy days a year.
The best time to visit Belfast is between April and August, when the city is least wet and overcast. October is a good month to visit for culture vultures as this is when the Belfast Festival - the second biggest arts festival in the UK (behind Edinburgh) - is held. Around the 12 July every year some Protestant marches and parades are held in Belfast; the marches are usually peaceful nowadays, but it is still a tense and potentially violent period in the city and travellers tend to avoid it.

By Lauren Basile, Arizona State University
Green is the new blonde. And many are noticing.
That's the theme behind Scottsdale's first premier organic salon and spa, Green with Envy Organic Hair Studio, which provides a nontoxic and chemical-free salon experience for everyone.
"We are the only clean-air salon in the valley," said Braidy Hunt, the salon's manager and head stylist. "We don't do perms or relaxers, which give off a lot of chemicals."
Started by two friends who recognized a lack of green salons in Arizona, the studio offers hair cuts, coloring and styling as well as nail services, massage therapy, waxing and facial treatments all while using organic products that are healthier for your hair and overall lifestyle.
"A lot of hair products use fillers that literally just put a coating on each individual strand," Hunt said, "but it will rinse off and the coating becomes buildup which leads to even more problems."
Coming from a traditional salon, Hunt quickly realized when she joined Green with Envy in October 2011 that she would never again have to worry about what she was using in her clients' hair.
"I feel like when I go to work, I never worry about what my hands are touching and if it could affect my body or my health," she said.
Organic hair color products differ from regular products because they contain no ammonia or sulfates; instead the products include ingredients derived from natural grape-seed oil that repair the hair while providing longer lasting color.
"We are all in love with these products and use them at home," said Lauren Price, the salon's receptionist.
"As far as products go, before we put anything on the shelf we go through a very strict ingredient process," Hunt said.
Green with Envy uses two hair color lines, Mastey Teinture Hair Colour and Essensity Colour by Schwarzkopf; hair products lines from Eufora, Neuma and Soma; and Eminence Organic Skin Care for skin treatments. All these products are completely organic and some are also vegan and gluten-free.
But the salon doesn't just boast organic hair products; the entire building is built with the environment in mind.
Designed by a LEED-certified architect, the salon was built using environmentally friendly materials including recycled denim insulation, recycled and reused fixtures for furniture and décor, hybrid computers, a tank-less water heater and dual-flush toilets.
The salon recycles every bottle used and donates all hair clippings to a nonprofit organization that uses them to create mats used to clean up oil spills.
How's that for going green?
The salon also helps people with a variety of skin problems who can't handle the harsh toxins and chemicals of traditional salons.
"There's been a huge demand for a green salon because people with asthma or allergies can come without having reactions to the chemicals," Hunt said.
The salon's green setting is a good custom beauty getaway for pregnant women, people with allergies and sensitive skin, and even cancer patients.
Better yet, the use of natural products at Green with Envy doesn't add significantly to the cost of treatments.
With haircuts ranging from $30-60, a full highlight for $110 and an up-do style for $65, going green with your hair can be done at prices comparable to regular salons.
"Now people are becoming more aware of their environment and in doing so it's making people have a healthier lifestyle all around," Hunt said.
Located in Optima Camelview Village, Green with Envy Salon is located in the heart of Scottsdale. For more information visit the salon website.

For years, Gwen Barlee suffered from crushing headaches, fatigue, arthritis and memory problems so severe she needed to have her business card with her just to recall her job title.
As the policy director for the Wilderness Committee, the Vancouver-based, non-profit organization that works to safeguard wildlands, Barlee was used to living an outdoorsy, active, lifestyle. That was more than six years ago.
"I was young, worked out, didn't drink or do drugs, and I couldn't understand why I was falling apart. I felt I was dying," said Barlee, now 48.
In her search for answers, Barlee was told by a friend her symptoms indicated she might have contracted Lyme disease, an often overlooked, underdiagnosed disease spread by ticks. She believes she contracted the disease as a child and it had been overlooked by health care professionals for years.
Even a local blood test didn't reveal the disease. Wanting to confirm what she suspected Barlee asked that a sample be sent to an accredited United States laboratory; the results that came back were quite different from the local tests. Barlee had 58 of the 75 known symptoms for the disease. One of the most obvious symptoms of Lyme disease is a bull's-eye rash, which Barlee recalled having had years earlier.
Surprisingly, Barlee said, in Canada there are only 30-50 cases of Lyme disease diagnosed each year. But she believes the number is much higher, with doctors not recognizing the symptoms and our testing procedures not as stringent as those in the U.S. She pointed out that there are 30,000 new cases each year in the U.S., most of them in the northern states, beside Canada's border. Given that Canada has 10 per cent of the U.S. population, she speculates a conservative estimate of new Lyme disease cases in Canada is 3,000; it could be as high as 30,000 given that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control believes the under-reporting of Lyme disease in that country could be 12-fold.
If Lyme disease is detected within four weeks of infection, a treatment of antibiotics can stop the lifelong effects, said Barlee. But in her own case, since the disease was well established, that traditional course of treatment wouldn't work. The stubborn infection already would have disseminated rapidly out of her blood stream and into her tissues.
"This is a disease you want to treat robustly and aggressively at the first signs of the disease," she said.
"I grew up in the Okanagan, where ticks are common. I believe I was likely bitten 20 years ago, then again, up north [in British Columbia]."
It was the second bite that triggered the distinctive bull's-eye rash, which appears in about 40 per cent of all cases. Because it was too late for traditional treatment after she was finally diagnosed, Barlee was forced to explore alternative ways to promote healing.
She radically changed her diet and began using anti-bacterial herbs suggested by a naturopath, such as golden seal. Before the diagnosis, Barlee admits her diet mostly consisted of junk food and lots of sugar. But immediately she radically changed how she ate, eating digestible raw foods, dropping all refined carbohydrates and sugar from her diet as well as alcohol. For the past six years she has been drinking a healthy juice concoction she makes of fruits and vegetables as well as hemp hearts, flax seed and fresh ginger every morning and sometimes in the afternoon.
Before consulting the naturopath and changing her diet she had been spending hundreds of dollars on supplements that hadn't been making much of a difference.
These days, Barlee's energy level has returned and the headaches are gone. While Barlee's diet isn't as stringent as the early days, whenever she starts to feel a bit off she'll go back on the disciplined raw foods diet for a few weeks till she's feeling better. "I'll probably always have Lyme disease, but I think my immune system keeps it in check," she said. "You need to become your own health care advocate to know the best route to take for you."

New Jane Green novel 'Tempting Fate' explores infidelity
The new Jane Green novel, "Tempting Fate" (St. Martin's Press, $25), seems likely to stir debate and lively book club discussions with its non-judgemental view of adultery in the suburbs.
When we meet the protagonist, Gabby, she is happily married to a doctor and coping fairly well with raising two teenagers. But a chance meeting on a girls' night out in a Westport bar changes her life.
Gabby meets an attractive social network entrepreneur from California -- 10 years her junior -- and they extend their pleasant conversation with an increasingly flirty email correspondence that leads to a one-night stand.
How Gabby navigates her midlife crisis, and the way her actions endanger her happy family life, already has caused consternation among some early Goodreads website reviewers.
"I'm surprised by that," Green said of the moralistic reaction online. "If you know me and read me, you shouldn't be surprised, because I never judge my characters. They're all flawed, they all make mistakes."
As regular readers of Green know, the writer's 15 novels have paralleled her own life, with the early books dealing with single life in her native England, and the later books reflecting the novelist's move to Westport at the turn of the century. The writer's first marriage and divorce added to the realism of her Connecticut novels, which also came to reflect Green's happy second marriage.
The plot of "Tempting Fate," she stresses, is not drawn from her own experience.
"I see so many couples coming apart. Sometimes I can see it coming, but other times I think, `Those people should still be together,' " Green said of loving couples surviving a meaningless affair.
"It can make for a divorce where neither one really wants to do that. There should be a way for them to get back together. The beauty of doing what I do is that I can give my characters that happy ending."
Green's empathy is one of her greatest strengths. She allows us to understand people who might be villains in another writer's novels. Green said she hopes this is a reflection of her maturity allowing her to see stories from multiple points of view.
"With Gabby you're dealing with a moment of intoxication," Green said of the spark struck by Matt's sensitive, but slightly suggestive email correspondence.
"When I hear about someone not wanting to read about this, I do wonder about their age and stage of life.
"I have never had an affair, but I think every (married) woman (has met someone) who pushed them a little bit. I've had friends talking about flirting at some event. The flutter they felt. The thrill of being seen," she said of a new man appreciating aspects of a woman that her husband might be taking for granted.
Women in their 40s sometimes start to feel "invisible," Green said, and a flirtation can remind them of the freedom they had before marriage.
With email and social networking making all sorts of new connections possible, people's fantasy lives can collide with reality in a way that didn't exist a generation ago.
"There are windows of opportunity that have nothing to do with our real lives," she said.
Green could see the attraction of these new virtual relationships in an email correspondence she struck up with an author she met at a book festival.
"I'm very happily married, but there was something almost addictive about the flirty emails -- the idea of someone paying attention. I thought, `Oh, this is how it happens,' " she said.
Green will be at the Darien Library, 1441 Post Road, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 25. Books will be available for purchase. Refreshments will be served. For information, visit www.darienlibrary.org or call 203-655-1234.

In tropical regions like Florida, the Caribbean or the Dominican Republic, outdoor activities are anticipated and welcomed with each rising of the Sun. Doing things in our yards, beaches and even in our neighboring parks and backyards is a godsend of living in the splendor of this tropical oasis.
Even among our slices of paradise here within the Dominican Republic or in Tampa Bay where one of the smallest creatures, airborne by design could have possibly placed one of our own Tampa Bay Rays in harm's way of possibly contracting a virus that could forecast months and possibly a lifetime of pain to Rays reliever Joel Peralta.
It is still simply amazing to me how something as small as a skitter (mosquito everywhere else in the World) could take down something 1,000 times larger than itself like a human. Even more amazing is the sheer minute possibility that a lone mosquito found Peralta during his stint back home in the Dominican during the recent All-Star break.
Peralta has been sent back to St. Petersburg, Fl to undergo a few more blood tests under the guidance of Rays Team Physician Dr. Michael Reilly to confirm that a lone mosquito might have given Peralta the infamous Chikungunya virus. Peralta's blood work will also be reviewed and double-checked by the CDC and other governmental agencies tasked with investigating the virus within the United States.
Chikungunya was first discovered in the Caribbean back in late 2013. With the Dominican Republic being within that prime location within the tropical Americas island chains, it has been listed as a possible nesting point for the painful virus. Peralta believes he was either bitten once or twice while visiting his home back in the Dominican, but could he have possibly contacted the virus even before heading back to his home in Bonaro?
Florida where there have been 82 confirmed cases, including 2 victims locally who might have contracted the virus on their travels.
The virus is not considered initially life-threatening, but even if Peralta gets through the incubation period and gets through the symptoms with minor effects, it could saddle Peralta with arthritic joint pain that can be extremely painful, possibly lasting for weeks, or for a long time period.
The Rays did the right thing by erring on the side of caution and placed Peralta on the 15-day disabled list as he seeks treatment and a firm diagnosis of his fever, headache and joint pain. There was no mention of if Peralta was in the possible febrile or elevated body temp (possibly as high as 104 degrees) format of the virus, but this phase can last typically from 2-3 days before the onset of other symptoms.
Other symptoms can be a rash on the extremities or trunk region of the body and severe or nagging joint pains comparable to those felt by arthritis sufferers. Headaches, nausea, possible "pink eye", eye sensitivity to light or even experiencing a loss of taste which could last as long as 5-7 days.
But until Peralta completes a battery of blood tests that will expose certain cell lines to samples of whole blood. He will also have his blood analyzed via RT-PCR can confirm a definite diagnosis of Peralta contracting the Chikungunya virus.
If Peralta did become infected, there are no approved vaccines available at this moment to fight the virus, but there is a phase II vaccine trial currently being tested that has provided a virus resistance in 98% of those tested after 28 days and 85% showing resistance after 1 years' time. But the doctors could prescribe napoxen, paracetamol and fluids to his regiment.
Even if Peralta comes out of this with minimal time and effects there is a chance he could experience a extended bouts of joint pain. In some past cases, people who have contracted Chikungunya had joint pain symptoms as long as 2 years after their initial diagnosis.
The worst thing that could happen within all of this is the fact that any prolonged arthritic or joint stiffness after completion of his required rehab could possibly derail Peralta's baseball career.
I'm personally hoping that a simple bite from a mosquito cannot and will not ultimately change Peralta's physical gifts and allow him to further fulfill his baseball dreams .

Pope Francis' efforts to improve relations with the Georgian Orthodox Church suffered a public setback Saturday after the patriarchate decided not to send an official delegation to his Mass and repeated that Orthodox faithful cannot participate in Catholic services.
In the run-up to Francis' Caucasus visit, the Vatican spokesman had said the Orthodox Patriarchate would send a delegation to the Mass in a Tbilisi sports stadium "in a sign of the rapport between the two churches" — suggesting that the chill that had clouded the 1999 visit of St. John Paul II to Georgia had warmed slightly.
But Orthodox patriarchate spokeswoman Nato Asatiani said Saturday that the delegation had stayed away "by mutual agreement." The patriarchate updated a previous statement on its website saying that "as long as there are dogmatic differences between our churches, Orthodox believers will not participate in their prayers."
U.S. & World
The update apparently came after Francis' arrival Friday in Tbilisi was met with protests of hardline Orthodox opposed to any ecumenical initiatives by their church.
"It's typical proselytizing," said Father David Klividze, who was among about 100 people protesting outside the stadium from the hardline Union of Orthodox Parents. "Can you imagine how it would be if a Sunni preacher came to Shiite Iran and conducted prayers in a stadium or somewhere else? Such a thing could not be. Therefore, we are speaking against this."
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said the Vatican accepted the Orthodox decision, which he said had been conveyed to the papal delegation Friday night. Orthodox law didn't allow for the participation of the delegation, he said.
Francis had been scheduled to personally greet the delegation at the end of the Mass. Instead, Francis thanked "those Orthodox faithful" who were present.
Organizers had said they expected the Meshki sports stadium, capacity 27,000, to be full for the Mass, but only a few thousand people took their seats in the stands by the time Francis entered on his popemobile and began the celebration. There was no immediate explanation for the low turnout of Catholic faithful on the brilliantly sunny day.
Georgia is overwhelmingly Orthodox, with less than 3 percent of the population — or about 112,000 people — Catholic, according to Vatican statistics.
In his homily, Francis urged his faithful to find consolation in God and not be "saddened by the lack of harmony around us."
"It is when we are united, in communion, that God's consolation works in us," he said.
Francis had received a surprisingly warm welcome from the Orthodox leader upon his arrival Friday for the three-day visit that also includes a stop in Muslim-majority Azerbaijan.
Patriarch Ilia welcomed Francis as my "dear brother" and toasted him saying: "May the Lord bless the Catholic Church of Rome."
It was a different tone compared to the chill that characterized John Paul II's 1999 visit, when Ilia greeted him only as a head of state, not a religious leader. Then, Catholic-Orthodox tensions were so high that the Georgian Orthodox Church urged its faithful to stay away from his Mass.
The last-minute decision not to send an Orthodox delegation to Francis' Mass, and to repeat that Orthodox shouldn't attend, suggested a "one step forward, two steps back" progress that often characterizes the Vatican's ecumenical efforts.
Other than Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili, there were no prominent Georgian politicians on hand for the Mass. That suggested that with parliamentary elections planned for next week, politicians might have been reluctant to alienate any hardline Orthodox voters with their presence.
Francis' visit has been met with some protests by hardline Orthodox, who demonstrated outside the airport and Chaldean church holding signs saying "The Vatican is a spiritual aggressor," and "Death of papism."
The Orthodox patriarchate, though, had criticized the protests, indicating something of an institutional shift that has accompanied Georgia's geopolitical aspirations. Georgia is anxious to join NATO and is pursuing an eventual membership in the 28-nation European Union. The papal visit is being seen in Georgia as the government's attempt to win allies among Europe's Catholic nations.
Francis' main ecumenical event of the day was an evening visit to the seat of the Orthodox church, where he was expected to press his call for improved Catholic-Orthodox ties.
The Orthodox cathedral is located in Mtskheta, the spiritual capital of Georgia and where Christianity took root in the 4th century. The 11th-century Svetitskhoveli cathedral, one of three Mtskheta monuments on the UNESCO world heritage list, is said to have housed Christ's tunic.
"For the Christian world and not only, the visit of the pope is very significant," said Amiran Tsiklauri, an Orthodox resident of Tbilisi. "The pope is not only spiritual leader for Catholics but also the person who calls and urges for peace around the world."

An Eastern North Carolina native now with a New Bern address announced his bid Thursday for the District 3 congressional seat held by Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-Farmville.
An Eastern North Carolina native now with a New Bern address announced his bid Thursday for the District 3 congressional seat held by Rep. Walter B. Jones, R-Farmville.
Taylor Griffin, a 38-year-old Republican businessman who grew up in Wilson, came to New Bern and Fairfield Harbour about a month ago to live and launch his Republican Party nomination challenge to Jones, the 10-term representative.
At Captain Ratty�s Thursday, Griffin said he came home after selling his interests in a successful Washington, D.C., public affairs consulting firm he helped establish in 2010 because �as a conservative Republican, I think the people of Eastern North Carolina deserve better.�
Griffin is single and not working now because �I think running for Congress is sort of a full-time job� as a political newcomer to a district as large as N.C.�s U.S. House District 3, which no longer includes his hometown.
A graduate of Appalachian State University in political science after working on Republican campaigns in Wilson County and Boone, Griffin went to Washington to work for the late Sen. Jesse Helms. He later worked on both of former President George W. Bush�s campaigns and then on his staff in the White House dealing with the Treasury Department.
Griffin said Thursday his challenge to Jones comes �first of all because, when you look at his voting record it doesn�t reflect Eastern North Carolina values.�
�Jones is the most liberal Republican in the House,� he said, and, as a result, even his well-intentioned and regionally-supported efforts fail because �he has few allies. You have to work with people to get things done.�
He cited a Feb. 23, 2012, congressional ranking by the National Journal, which he said �assigned Jones a liberal score of 58.5, the highest of any House Republican.�
�Helms taught me that you don�t have to abandon principles,� Griffin said. �But there is a difference between being a conservative and putting those principles in action.�
�It is one thing to talk about fiscal responsibility and another to make the tough decisions that cut federal spending,� he said.
In discussion on issues he said he will take on the campaign trail, Griffin said he differs from Jones on many foreign and domestic policy positions, from negotiating with Iran to food stamp funding. And, while he respects Jones� steadfast �antiwar stance,� he thinks �it comes at the cost of effectiveness for his constituents.�
Griffin said he was born in Raleigh and raised in Eastern North Carolina to a family with roots going back more than 300 years and to the American Revolution, and has an ancestor who was a representative of North Carolina�s Constitutional Conventions.
An avid hunter and fisherman, Griffin said, he and his brother keep a boat in Wilmington, and it was in Eastern North Carolina where he learned to fish and where �my granddad gave me my first real gun and taught me to shoot.�
�But most importantly, I was raised here in Eastern North Carolina to love my faith, my family, my state and my country,� he said, and �the conservative principles and values that made this nation great.�
He is the son of Courtenay Gilmore Griffin and Shelton Griffin, who recently retired from Alliance One in Farmville after 30 years in the tobacco industry.
With Doug Raymond of Morehead City as his campaign manager, Griffin and his aides said he plans to do fundraising $20 to $50 at a time while meeting the people of the district.

Model Candy Brar, who barely had time to prepare to get into Bigg Boss 7, describes her ex-boyfriend Kushal Tandon as "unpredictable" and says she's clueless how he will react on seeing her in the house.
Scoffing at reports that she is entering the reality show to confront Kushal, Candy said: "I've known Kushal from the time I was a Gladrags model. We've been friends for quite some time. I know the family very well. I don't know how we are going to behave with one another inside the Bigg Boss house.
"Kushal is an extremist. He's very unpredictable. So, I don't know how he's going to react to me. I am just going to play it cool...I certainly don't want to do anything weird to get attention in Bigg Boss," she said before entering the reality show.
Candy and Ajaz Khan, who featured in Rakhta Charitra and Allah Ke Bande, were seen entering the house on Saturday's episode and for the time being they will stay in caravan in the house.
"It was all so hush-hush and sudden. I had no time to get ready," she said.
"And I've a regular 10-5 job for production company Showman (which produced Zilla Ghaziabad) and my boss was not ready to let me go. Until the last minute I was not sure if I'd be able to get into the Bigg Boss house.
"Finally, my boss was kind enough to let me get into the Bigg Boss. In fact, I was still at work until late in the night on Friday before going into the Bigg Boss house the next morning," she added.
Candy is unsure how long she would be in the Bigg Boss house.
"Until I stay inside, all work outside comes to a standstill here. And I am going to remain calm and controlled," she said.

Over the last few months, Android devices have gained a greater share of the mobile marketplace, though they still haven't taken over Apple's iPhone dominance. Still, this means that more and more Android phones are wandering around — and what better way to use your new device than to throw your jams on it?
In this how-to, we'll teach you three different ways to get your tracks on to your device to get you rockin' away.
Via USB
1. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable. You'll need to wait for Windows to detect the phone.
2. Launch the file manager and find the audio files that you want to transfer.
3. Open the drive that was assigned to the device and find or create a folder for you to store the music.
4. Copy/paste or drag and drop the audio into the folder.
5. Disconnect your phone from your computer. Android devices when booted up will automatically detect any media that is on the phone, so your tracks should appear in the music player on the device.
Via SD Card
1. Remove the SD card from your Android device. We can't speak to all devices, but generally you'll need to remove the back covering to get to the SD card slot. (If you don't have an SD card, you'll need to purchase one.)
2. Connect an SD card reader to your computer. Some laptops and desktops come with SD card slots pre-installed, so you may not need to buy a card reader. Make sure to check before needlessly buying one!
3. Insert your SD card into the reader or slot. Wait for Windows 7 to detect the card as a mass storage device and assign a drive to it.
4. Launch the file manager and find the audio files that you want to transfer.
5. Open the drive that was assigned to the SD card and find or create a folder for you to store the music.
6. Copy and paste or drag and drop the audio into the folder.
7. Remove the SD card from the reader and reinsert the SD card into your device
Via Google Play
Google revamped the Android Market in March of 2012 rebranding it as Google Play. Play allows users to use Google's cloud to store music, books, movie and apps.
Here's a couple of simple steps to help you listen to your music via Google Play and offline.
1. You'll need to download and install the Google Play Music Manager on your computer.
2. Once it's installed, click on the Manager. The Manager will ask where you keep your music. Find the appropriate option and click 'Next.'
3. Decide whether or not you want the Manager to automatically add songs whenever music is added to your local folder.
The Music Manager will now start adding your music to Google Play. Once it's finished you can listen to your music using the Google Play Music app on Android devices with 2.2 and above. Users can store up to 20,000 songs on Play for free.
If you find yourself somewhere without Wi-Fi or service you can still access your music. You just need to make your music available off-line.
1. Go to the Google Play Music app on your device of choice.
2. View your library of albums, artists or playlists.
3. Tap the Menu and find "Make available offline."
4. Boxes will pop up next to items that you can make available offline along with a bar at the bottom of the screen shows how much space is available on your device for music and other files.
5. Tap the boxes next to items that you want available offline. Green pins will appear in the boxes denoting items you want offline.
6. On the bottom left of the screen you should see a checkmark. Tap it when you've pinned all of the items you want.
After a few moments the Play app should begin downloading the items to your device. The Google Play Music app also caches some of your music temporarily on the device when you play it. So, you might find that some of your music is available offline even if you didn't tab it.
To display music that is only available offline, touch Menu on your device and find "Offline Music Only."

Professor sees encouraging signs in Middle East turmoil
April 07, 2011
Undergraduate Campus
Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies Paul Powers offers a cautiously optimistic analysis of the transformational events in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
"It's surprising how secular the revolts have been," he said in an interview with the Lake Oswego Review. "They haven't been driven by al Qaeda or militant groups. Most of the militants arrived late to the dance and came across as quite marginalized. This is not 1979 in Iran. Religious theocracies won't be put in place."
Powers has traveled extensively in the Muslim world, including Yemen, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Morocco, and India. He teaches a range of courses about Islam and Religious Studies, including "Islam in the Modern World" and "Religious Fundamentalism." He is currently undertaking a new project examining Islamic law in its cultural contexts, both pre-modern and modern; this project explores how Muslims not formally educated in Islamic law have understood Islamic legal ideas, institutions, and representative persons, such as judges and legal scholars.

MitchP necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
A site using the transitive property of math to show that one college football team is better than another, it was highlighted on ESPN SportsNation as their "site of the day." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM9I7pz77TA
Purely for fun, this site IS intended to take itself too seriously, using common football arguments and taking them to absurd extremes. It includes a weekly transitive property college poll, showing how the most remote teams can claim dominance over the top team in the land.
It's almost football season and it's time for a site uplift.
College football fans of all ages, conferences, and divisions.
Most folks will visit once or twice, but it's common for them to send a link to their friends at the same or rival school.
I'm open to suggestions and ideas, but the site design should be fairly simple, allowing users to pick their teams, pick their calculation method, and see the results in a table.
How the Site Works
A user would chose two teams, "My Team" and "Your Team," and a calculation method, then hit a submit button. The site then calculates a transitive property path between the two teams. The results are shown in a table below that incorporates the teams' divisions, game scores, and a summary statement comparing the two teams.
Selecting The Teams
I'm using simple combo boxes now, but would be open to other methods.
Selecting The Calculation Method
There are currently 3 options: wins only, fastest path, or most direct. In addition to a chain of wins that most people consider, I added a way to compare teams based on common opponents. In other words, "my team lost to a common opponent by LESS than you did, therefore my team is better."
Displaying The Results
At the top of the page, the site displays the teams' helmets (based on The Helmet Project's great work) with links to other pages related to that team's comparisons.
The table below shows the teams, their division, and the game scores for every game in the path.
Additionally, it's important to have a visible and striking "flip it" function below the results, and a way for the user to email their results.

Column of Atonement
The Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (Literal translation: "Win one for the Kippur") is about repentance. Though the full explanation is longer, Jews basically spend 25 hours praying and saying we're sorry. It's like a marathon confession. Or as Jon Stewart puts it, we buy everything wholesale.
There are several traditions that go along with the repentance thing. We don't wear leather because it was a sign of affluence, and we're supposed to be humble. We don't eat, so we're not comfortable or lazy and we can concentrate better on our thoughts. (Though often those thoughts are a variation of "hey, I'm really hungry"). Most importantly, we're encouraged to ask for forgiveness. Which is a pretty good way to be forgiven.
Our forgiveness doesn't come from any higher power - it comes from our fellow people. Tradition dictates that the all-powerful being upstairs likes it when we apologize to anyone we've wronged. In other words, someone up there is saying, "Steve, tell your sister you're sorry or you don't get any desert."
I wanted, albeit a few days late, to apologize to a few people I've wronged in the last year. Tradition also dictates that if I genuinely apologize three times and it's not accepted, the onus is on the apologizee. So if you read this column three times, I'm golden.
To the guy I bumped into on 48th street: I really should have been looking where I was going. I'm surprised I didn't see you ahead of time, what with you wearing a purple velvet cape.
To the woman I purposely cut off on I-75: I shouldn't have lost my patience with you. I understand that driving 54 in the left lane of a 55 is perfectly legal. And if I had the life indicated by your choice of automobile, hairstyle, and "I'm with Stupid" bumper sticker, I wouldn't rush home either.
To the telemarketer I yelled at about my status on the do not call list: I understand that you are just doing your job. And though your job is evil, it is merely your job. A soulless, frustrating, jerkface job that you willingly chose knowing full well how annoyed you get when telemarketers call you. Maybe I'm not sorry for this one.
To the fine people at homestarrunner.com: I am sorry I have used up all of your bandwidth by replaying Teen Girl Squad over and over. Maybe if you just released a DVD like I asked, this would all be easier.
To my editors: I'm sorry that I occasionally have typos in this column. Sometimes when I re-read something, a spelling slipup or grammatical gaffe eeks its way through. Thankfully, I have three vigilant readers that point them out in the email edition, so we can catch them before this column goes to print. Thank you, three vigilant readers who need a hobby. You make our lives better.
To the third teller from the left in the bank I robbed: I shouldn't have shot you in the arm. Even if you were crying and I wanted to make an example out of you, I should have found a better way of doing it. Like saying, "hey, stop crying, you example, you."
To my readers: I shouldn't have lied about robbing that bank and shooting that teller in the arm. I wanted to do it, but some woman on the interstate took forever in front of me, and I was so frustrated I missed my exit.
To my readers: I shouldn't have lied about wanting to rob that bank. Really I just wanted a free checking account. But free checking! That's such a great deal, it may as well be robbery!
And to everyone else I didn't get to mention: I'd have gotten to each one of you individually, but the wrongs I committed against you weren't nearly as interesting as the ones I mentioned.
Maybe you should wear more capes.

From NBC/NJ's Mike Memoli
Below is a partial transcript of Biden campaigning yesterday in New Hampshire, where he said that he would move to impeach Bush if he unilaterally attacks Iran.
QUESTIONER: "I have a great fear that say you're elected as the nominee of the party. Next August sometime during the summer, Dick Cheney and George are going to bomb Iran."
BIDEN: "Legitimate concern."
QUESTIONER: "What can you do about it?"
BIDEN: "I am not one, who if you've observed me for some time, I am not one who's engaged in excessive populist rhetoric. I'm not one that pits the rich against the poor. I'm not one who's gone out there and made false threats against presidents about, and god love him he's a great guy, I'm not Dennis Kucinich saying impeach everybody now. But let me tell you, I have written an extensive legal memorandum with the help of a group of legal scholars who are sort of a stable of people, the best-known constitutional scholars in America, because for 17 years I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
"I asked them to put together [for] me a draft, which I'm now literally riding between towns editing, that I want to make clear and submit to the Untied States Senate pointing out the president has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran. And I want to make it clear, I want it on the record, and I want to make it clear, if he does, as chairman of the foreign relations committee and former chair of the judiciary committee, I will move to impeach him."
SECOND QUESTIONER: " ... I say this not to fan flames, and not to sound like a raving lunatic. You did mention something about impeachment, if George Bush does something regarding Iran. I say this as a strategic or tactical question. Do you think it would be useful now to forward an impeachment motion as a signal to the world that we're headed in the right direction?"
BIDEN: "It's a valid statement to make. It is not as clear constitutionally that articles of impeachment would lie absent his action, which is crystal clear if he acted without congressional authority in Iran. It is arguable constitutionally whether some of the action he has taken thus far amount to high crimes and misdemeanors that could be in fact proven.
"So it makes it difficult. But beyond that, it is counterproductive. Let me make it clear what the impeachment case I made is. I think the best deterrent is for the president to know, even at the end of his term, we would move and move to follow through with that so his legacy would be marred for all time if he acted in what was clearly, clearly an impeachable offense. In the absence of that, what happens is, and you're gonna think I'm joking about this. I'm not. If you're gonna impeach George Bush you better impeach Cheney first. Not a joke. Not a joke."
