"But Then the Enemy Would Adapt"
In an interview with Israel Air Force chief Maj.-Gen. Eliezer Shkedy. "I would love to be able to tell the people of Israel what we are doing new to protect them. They'd be proud to hear it. But the moment I make something public, the other side will adapt. So telling the public actually harms my efforts to protect the public."

High School Sports- Not about glory
High School Sports are not about GLORY
No, High school sports are not about WINNING and bringing GLORY to your school.
Or at least they should not be. They should be about:
Learning teamwork
Learning not to quit when things get tough
Perseverance
Dedication to a cause or a goal
Doing the best you can possibly do
By making it only about WINNING and GLORY, you cheapen the process. You eliminate all but the strong and the swift and the agile. I’m not saying everyone should be allowed to play; there must be a process of trying out for the team and inevitably some will be cut.
Of the thousands of students participating in High School sports, only a small percentage will win in their division. Less will win in their state. Does that mean that all the students have not learned anything, have not benefited from the experience?
I played High School sports, many, many moons ago. Sometimes I was on a winning team. (Lost in the State Championship.) Sometimes on losing teams. (Did not even make playoffs) But, every time good life lessons were learned. That’s what High School sports are about.

Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe
Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe
Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia gives what, for many Canadians, is a surprising assessment: "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. It is simply incredible that they, and his film, are commanding public attention."
Of Course you won't see this opinion in any US Media outlets.

Sox Farm Produce
Sox Farm Produce
The Boston RedSox farm system has long been a source for trade bait. Just as a prospect would begin to mature and be ready for the bigs, the RedSox management would see fit to trade him for a much older but known quantity. These older players usually would play for the team for just a year or two and then retire or bolt for greener pastures through free agency. This would leave the Sox with no prospects and the veterans gone. This was a time-honored routine, a regressive system to say the least.
Trot Nixon, and Kevin Youkalis, have both shown their worth. Each has proven to be a solid major leaguer, with Youkalis being versatile as well, playing several positions and able to bat well from any spot in the lineup. But the big payoff with the new managements youth movement seems to be in the pitching department. An old axiom of baseball is “you can never have enough good pitching”, with that in mind; the Sox seem poised for a bonanza of talent to soon join the staff. Lest we forget though, past performance is no guarantee of future per results. They are an “unknown quantity” after all, but their upside is more than promising.
Take Jonathan Papelbon for instance. Projected as a starter, he has taken to the role of reliever as if he were born to it. The results as of this date: 20 saves and an ERA of .30 is more than the team could have anticipated going into the season.
David Pauley pitched extremely well against two very tough teams (Toronto and New York).
It will be interesting to see how Jon Lester performs today in the opener of a double header. Sox manager Terry Francona expressed his rookies start this way, “If he has a tough game, it doesn’t mean he’s not going to be a good pitcher, and if he throws seven shutout innings, it doesn’t mean he’s going to the Hall of Fame. I would opt for the seven innings, but this is a long, long deal. Hopefully this kid’s is going to be pitching for a lot of years.”
Other pitching prospects about to mature are, Lenny DiNardi, Manny Delcarmen, and Craig Hansen. More on them later.
