Colin Powell Rejects Dick Cheney's Claims, Says U.S. Is Not Less Safe Under Obama (VIDEO)
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Dick Cheney's charges that the country is less safe because of the way Barack Obama has handled national security matters don't hold water, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday. "To suggest that somehow we have become much less safer because of the actions of the administration, I don't think that's borne out by the facts," Powell said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Powell pointed out that Obama has kept in place most of the programs enacted by the Bush administration. "The Transportation Security Administration created by George Bush is still in action working in our airports," Powell told host Bob Schieffer. "They take care of me every day that I go to an airport."
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was also created under President Bush, "and it is still under President Obama, working hard," Powell continued. "Our counterterrorism authorities and forces are hard at work. Our law enforcement officials are hard at work. We have gone after the enemy in Afghanistan with 50,000 more troops, more predators are striking al-Qaida and Taliban leaders in Pakistan. We have continued the policies that President Bush put in place with respect to Iraq. And so I don't know where the claim comes that we are less safe."
WATCH (Discussion of national security begins around the 10:00 minute mark):Lacey Brown: The 'Landslide' brings her down
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
Lacey Brown said it took a lot to try out for American Idol again, having come so close to the semifinals last year.
Lacey's reddish hair is glowing bright pink under the lights, as she begins Fleetwood Mac's Landslide. And, where last year she got cut in favor of Megan Joy, here she might as well be her, just on a stool instead of doing that little dance that Megan Joy did. Which might have been preferable, because this is a real mess: bad tone, bad pitch, bad choice.
"Uh ... " begins Randy, which is never a good sign. "I thought it was terrible. It was pitchy, all over the place."
Ellen thinks she's better than that, but she's not sure she'll get the chance to show it next week.
"I actually thought it was quite depressing," says Simon, who says that, 15 seconds in, he was wondering how much longer it was going to last. Him and me both.
"You usually hit those notes," says a mystified Kara, who recommends acts like Sixpence None the Richer or The Sundays.
"You've got nice eyes," offers Simon, by way of consolation. Since that's something Paula would've said, but she wasn't here to say it.

Night On Bald Mountain | Night On Bald Mountain | Night On Bald Mountain
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Night on Bald Mountain: latest news about updates in Night on Bald Mountain, firebird suite, bbc iplayer, cheryl cole, hotmail, itv player, Almost none of the compositions by which we best know Modest Mussorgsky is played today in its original form. From the masterly Pictures at an Exhibition, originally for solo piano, to the opera Khovanshchina and the Songs and Dances of Death,
the music of this erratic Russian genius has been subjected to all manner of arrangements and orchestrations. Rimsky-Korsakov tells us that Mussorgsky’s original versions of the work that he was to arrange as Night on Bald Mountain were impractical. This is only his opinion; one of these quite viable originals has in fact recently been revived and recorded. If he was not one of the great masters of instrumentation, Mussorgsky seems at least to have known the sound he wanted. But it is Rimsky’s admittedly excellent orchestration of Bald Mountainthat continues to live on in the concert hall.
First composed in 1867, the work whose Russian title translates St. John’s Eve on the Bare Mountain underwent two subsequent adaptations by the composer—first as part of the opera-ballet Mlada, and finally as a sort of ill-fitting “dream-sequence” in his Gogol-based opera Sorochintsy Fair. After Mussorgsky’s death in 1881, Rimsky-Korsakov took portions of all three versions of the St. John’s music to create his orchestral tour de force.
“At first I could make nothing of Night on Bald Mountain,” Rimsky wrote in his autobiography. “Mussorgsky had planned the piece originally in the 1860s (it was then called Midsummer’s Eve), under the influence of Liszt’s Totentanz, and then left it lying for a long time.” After describing the other versions, Rimsky-Korsakov concludes that “none of these as a whole was suitable for publication and performance. Consequently I resolved to make a purely orchestral piece from Mussorgsky’s material and did my utmost to keep all the best and most connected parts without change, and to put in as little as possible of my own.” Rimsky-Korsakov’s reconstruction was published in 1886.
Travis Outlaw Blazers Trade

How tall is Nate Robinson?
Saturday, February 13, 2010
How tall is Nate Robinson? f you saw All-Star Saturday 2010 and its Slam dunk contest, you're probably wondering about the winner who is the size of a mere mortal. Dunk champion Nate Robinson may be small in stature, but his dunks were large enough to make him a three-time champion Saturday night, as fans texted and voted online to give him the victory over DeMar DeRozan. Robinson, of the Knicks, very rarely dunks in games, but when he's in the dunk contest, he brings his A game. Tonight he used a variety of props including some Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and their pom poms. His dunks look extra impressive thanks to his smaller size. So how tall is Nate Robinson?
The 2010 NBA Slam Dunk winner
Nate Robinson measures 5 foot 9 in height, or 1.75 meters. He's currently 25 years of age and in his fourth season in the NBA playing for the New York Knicks. He won last year's Slam dunk contest as well as the 2006 contest. One of his most memorable dunks in 2006 was a celebration of smaller dunkers, as he did a dunk over former 1986 winner Spudd Webb. In the 2009 contest, Robinson donned a green Knicks uniform and had a prevailing "KryptoNate" theme to spar with previous champion Dwight Howard's Superman theme. At one point, Nate vaulted right over Howard to win the contest, giving him his second dunk trophy, and making him the reigning champion heading into Saturday's showdown.
Nate was able to beat out his 3 opponents: Gerald Wallace, DeMar DeRozan and Shannon Brown Saturday night. It helped to be well-received and Robinson was easily a crowd favorite in Dallas due to his size. Fans in the audience must have been wondering how tall is Nate Robinson after seeing his leaping abilities. Although some say the 2010 dunk contest was not as good as years past, it still showed the skills of one of the league's smallest players as he completed several impressive dunks to win the trophy.

NBA all star 2010: Butler to Mavs, Wiz get Howard
The Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks have completed a seven-player trade that launches Washington's long-anticipated rebuilding project in earnest and sends Wizards mainstays Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to the Mavericks.The teams agreed on the principal pieces Friday: Butler, Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson to Dallas for Josh Howard and Drew Gooden. Mavericks reserves Quinton Ross and James Singleton were added to the deal Saturday and are also Washington-bound, with Dallas receiving cash considerations in addition to the three players.
"It makes us significantly better," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said.
The Wizards had been talking to several teams for weeks about deals involving Butler and Haywood, most notably Houston with Tracy McGrady's $22.5 million expiring contract. But talks with Dallas had stalled in the past week, partly because of Washington's insistence that the Mavericks take guard Stevenson in any Butler deal.When Washington agreed late in the week that it would add Haywood to the deal, talks picked up Thursday night and only grew more serious Friday, resulting in the trade that is widely regarded as the first major domino needed to loosen things up on the trade market in advance of Thursday's annual trading deadline.
The acquisitions of Butler and Haywood, meanwhile, are a welcome spark for the sputtering Mavericks, with Butler moving into the spot vacated by Howard and Haywood arriving as another rim-protecting defensive anchor in the wake of a knee injury that has compromised the effectiveness of Mavs center Erick Dampier.
"Caron is an established professional and an All-Star with the ability to score from anywhere on the floor," said Donnie Nelson, the Mavericks' president of basketball operations. "Brendan will solidify our center position with athleticism, shot blocking and defense. DeShawn has also shown that he can be a talented asset to this team."
Acquiring Haywood and having the chance to re-sign him this summer likely fills the void Dallas thought it filled last summer, when the Mavs signed Orlando center Marcin Gortat to a lucrative offer sheet, only for the Magic to unexpectedly match the offer to the restricted free agent.
Washington inevitably wanted Beaubois added to the deal, but Mavs owner Mark Cuban said earlier this week that his young point guard is "pretty much untouchable" as Thursday's trade deadline approaches. But sources say the Wizards are gaining so much payroll and luxury-tax relief -- while also keeping Jamison to either keep or move in a separate deal before Thursday's deadline -- that they couldn't pass on Dallas' offer."We're all disappointed in how our season has gone. We need some freshness and we're getting proven players who will help us, and it gives us some flexibility down the road," Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said. "We want to remain competitive and maybe this group can provide a spark. The group had gotten stale, and we needed a change.
"As for the possibilities of more deals before the deadline, Grunfeld said "there's still a lot of conversations going on."
Butler averaged 16.9 points and 6.7 rebounds in 47 games this season. Haywood was the Wizards' top rebounder with 10.3 per game.
Butler thanked the Wizards and their fans in a statement and said he would, "continue to play with the same desire and intensity that I have had throughout my entire NBA career."
Howard played 431 games for the Mavericks, and was the team's second-longest tenured player behind All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki.
Howard was limited the first couple of months while recovering from offseason surgery on his left ankle and started only nine times, averaging 12.5 points in 31 games. He also had surgery on his left wrist last summer.
"Different teams go through different situations. The Mavs went through it in the '90s, the Wizards are going through some issues right now," Cuban said. "Sometimes giving guys a fresh home I think re-energizes them, and will work the other way too. I think Josh will find himself re-energized with the Wizards."
Howard was an All-Star in 2007, when he averaged 18.9 points in 70 games. He had his best season a year later, when he averaged 19.9 points.
In an interview on the ESPN radio station in Dallas on Saturday before the trade, Howard said he'd like to stay in Dallas but had been told by his agent that a trade was possible.
The same season of his All-Star appearance, Howard said in a radio interview during a first-round playoff series against New Orleans that he occasionally smoked marijuana. Later that same series, he angered then-coach Avery Johnson by throwing himself a birthday party after a Game 4 loss to the Hornets.
Then last summer, a video posted on YouTube showed Howard disrespecting the national anthem while attending a charity flag football game. On the first day of Mavericks training camp, Howard made a statement before taking questions from reporters and apologized.
Cuban said physicals were waived, meaning every player should be in their new uniforms right after the All-Star break. Washington is home Wednesday night against Minnesota.
"We haven't been playing well, that's for sure. Sometimes people might think that moving someone or making a trade can help," Jason Kidd, another Mavs All-Star, said Saturday before the trade was announced. "We have a big week coming out of the All-Star break ... 30 games left, it's a sprint now, not a marathon. I think we're going to be ready for that."

As it turns out, it is possible to take a bad photo of Apolo Anton Ohno, and I have proven it, right here on this post. (Sorry, Apolo. You should have seen the other ones.)
We're in Kearns during a lull (insert your own "How can you tell? joke here) in the U.S. Figure Skating Trials, meeting up with local short-track racers Ohno and J.R. Celski. We'll have an in-depth feature on Ohno, the five-time medalist, and Celski, the Olympic newbie, in our upcoming Winter Olympics special section on Feb. 7.
We also have some highly unprofessional, but fairly entertaining, "Quick Question" video segments with both athletes, which we'll post here when we solve a couple minor technical challenges, namely slow wi-fi connections. Check back for that later.
