Rex Grossman won't let criticism sack him

2011-10-13T10:52:00.000-07:00

Never short on words or opinions, Deion Sanders says the Washington Redskins are the top team in the NFC East right now, and their quarterback, Rex Grossman, is playing better than NFC East counterparts Michael Vick, Eli Manning and Tony Romo. That trio has combined for eight Pro Bowl appearances. Grossman has none.

“Yeah, I said it,” Sanders said on the NFL Network, “and I didn’t stutter.”

It's a bold statement, one that runs counter to popular opinion around Washington, where, despite the Redskins’ winning record, Grossman has been subjected to plenty of criticism for his play through four games.

“Let's face it, he’s been the most consistent,” said Steve Mariucci, another NFL Network analyst. “Maybe not as flashy, but the most consistent. What do you want — wins or flash?”

The most consistent aspect of Grossman’s career is the steady stream of detractors who seem to follow him. He may not be able to dodge every charging linebacker, but he’s been able to successfully deflect critics, whether they’re hidden behind computers, calling into radio stations or wearing “Press” badges.

“You’ve been in this league long enough, you realize the fans and the media, they judge week to week — moreso the media than the fans,” Grossman said Wednesday. “But generally speaking, as long as you’re doing your job and trying to accomplish your task and keep getting better, that’s all you should focus on. It's pretty easy to not read or turn on the TV.”

Grossman acknowledges that he doesn’t go out of his way to avoid ESPN or other forms of media following tough losses. “Sometimes you can’t avoid it,” he said. But he doesn’t take every opinion to heart. He learned that lesson long ago. Even as he was leading the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl, fans were calling for a quarterback change. “It doesn’t really affect me one way or the other,” he said.

“You want to be praised and you want to be thought of as a great quarterback, great team, great offense,” Grossman said, “and you know you can be, so you work hard to get better. I think we’re right on the cusp of doing a lot of great things. I know we can take that next step. That's all I’m focused on.”

Grossman has had good weeks and bad playing in front of passionate fan bases at the University of Florida and in Chicago. He's perhaps as accustomed to criticism as any quarterback in the NFL. That makes any pointed remarks or harsh assessments easier to swallow in Washington.

On the season, Grossman has a 78.7 passer rating. He's averaging 247 yards per game and has thrown for six touchdowns. But he's also committed seven turnovers — five interceptions and two lost fumbles. He’s made some big mistakes late in games that have lighted up sports talk phone lines and prompted a flurry of Internet discussion. One message board thread at ExtremeSkins entitled “Beck After The Bye Week” features more than 500 posts.

“Thick skin is one prerequisite for a quarterback, no doubt,” said Mariucci, a former quarterbacks coach and head coach in the NFL. “Some are better than others at it. Rex seems pretty level-headed. He seems to be one of those guys who can just ignore it or deal with it. He deserves a lot of credit for that.”

Novak Djokovic will end year at No. 1 after Rafael Nadal loses in Shanghai

2011-10-13T10:49:00.000-07:00

LONDON — Novak Djokovic will finish the year as the top-ranked player in the world.

The ATP says the Serb clinched the year-end top spot after No. 2 Rafael Nadal lost in the third round at the Shanghai Masters on Thursday.

Nadal’s loss to Florian Mayer ensured that Djokovic cannot be overtaken before the end of the year.

The 24-year-old Djokovic becomes the first player other than Roger Federer or Nadal to finish a year as No. 1 since Andy Roddick of the United States in 2003.

Djokovic has been No. 1 since winning Wimbledon in July. He’s won 10 titles this year, including his second Australian Open and first U.S. Open.

Sound support

2011-10-13T10:45:00.000-07:00

When Deion Branch hauled in a Tom Brady touchdown pass against the Jets Sunday, most of the 65,000 fans at Gillette Stadium rose as one, threw their arms skyward, and screamed.

A sound meter on the field near the end zone recorded 106.4 decibels. And that was on the open end of the stadium. Tests show that the enclosed side is 10 decibels higher, which would make the noise higher than the 115 decibels the Occupational Safety and Health Administration considers dangerous for any length of time.

Even coach Bill Belichick noticed the extra fan enthusiasm for the game against the Jets.

“They were definitely into the game, no question about it,’’ he said.

The hooded master says there is a difference between the noise on the field and in the stands.

“To tell you the truth, when you’re down on the field, it’s like a constant roar,’’ said Belichick. “It goes up and it comes down a little bit, but it’s a constant roar.’’

Last month, in an audible that was deemed politically incorrect, Tom Brady called on Patriots fans to be “lubed’’ and loud for the home opener. Fans seem to have gotten the message. Safety James Ihedigbo credits Brady for getting the hometown fans pumped.

“Definitely,’’ said Ihedigbo. “I’m glad he called them out.’’

Ihedigbo, who played three years for the Jets, also did his part. He continually gestured for fans to rise up on big third-down plays, and the sound meter jumped 10 decibels.

“The fans are amazing,’’ he said. “I say we appreciate them. We need them every single game to be as loud or louder than they were.’’

Domed stadiums are traditionally louder than open-air venues. On Monday night at Ford Field in Detroit, the visiting Bears had nine false starts, prompting Lions coach Jim Schwartz to thank the city of Detroit. At Gillette, the Jets had one.

“When an offensive lineman jumps, it’s because of crowd noise,’’ says Ihedigbo. “We’ve got to increase that.’’

Ihedigbo said the fans at Gillette are louder than Jets fans at East Rutherford, N.J.

“They’re like the 12th man on the field,’’ he said.

Special teams captain Matthew Slater also credits Brady.

“I’m sure it didn’t hurt that he urged them on to support us, but it has been a little louder this year, I’ve noticed it,’’ said Slater.

Covering a Patriots game on the sideline with a sound meter is full of surprises.

Standing next to the End Zone Militia, who fire their muskets after every Patriots score, is as big a mistake as having Ellis Hobbs cover Plaxico Burress man-to-man in the Super Bowl. The musket produces a 113.3 decibel measurement, more than the average human pain threshold, according to a Purdue University study.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis’s second touchdown of the game measured 104.8, and a sack of Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez registered 104. Fans tried to pump up the underperforming Chad Ochocinco by greeting his two receptions with relatively loud ovations (98.6). That’s louder than a power mower.

The quietest sequence was the moment of silence observed for late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis. It registered at 62.1, roughly the sound of conversation in an office.

When the Patriots flashed a message on the Jumbotron imploring fans to “Make Some Noise,’’ it came in at 94.4. They also post “Quiet Offense@Work,’’ when the Patriots have the ball, reminding fans that Brady likes to call audibles.

Patriots fans have been criticized for being spoiled by success, complacent, and more concerned with beating the horrendous Gillette Stadium traffic than supporting their team.

In January 2010, Vince Wilfork complained that it “felt like a road game’’ when the home team was booed early in a playoff loss to the Ravens.

There were times in the pre-Robert Kraft era when Patriots fans were reluctant to take their families to games because of vulgar, rowdy crowd behavior. But now some fans complain that the atmosphere in the stands is more like a night at the opera.

“We have the greatest football team in the NFL in the last 12 years,’’ said longtime Patriots fan Patrick Frechette. “When I stand up on third down, a lot of people in my section will be like, ‘Sit down.’ I don’t like that. I want to bring on the noise, support my team. I want to root on my team.’’

The Patriots say they are only responding to fan complaints; they, too, want fans up and cheering on big plays.Frechette also noted that the cushy corporate-level seats are half-empty if the weather is inclement.

“Look at the red seats in the fourth quarter,’’ he said. “They are going to empty out no matter what the score is.’’

On Sunday, only a few fans left during the two-minute warning with the Patriots up by 6 points and moving into field goal position.

Brady called out fans last year after a season-opening 38-24 win against the Bengals.

“When I looked up, half the stadium was gone when we were up 21 points in the early fourth quarter, which I wasn’t so happy about,’’ he said.

This year, he told them before the Chargers game “to start drinking early,’’ prompting Patriots spokesman Stacey James to say Brady meant to stay hydrated.

But Sunday’s game was a perfect storm of positive energy, summerlike weather, and a thirst for revenge after last year’s season-ending loss to the Jets.

In the pregame ceremony, the Patriots invited the entire Bruins team on the field (101.5 decibels). Nathan Horton squirted TD Garden “holy water’’ on the Patriots logo (98) and Zdeno Chara hoisted the Stanley Cup (98).

When Brady was introduced, he received a 98.4-decibel roar of approval, a close second to the 102.0 that greeted Bruins goalie Tim Thomas before the season opener at the Garden.

The Patriots cheerleaders received 85.1 decibels, proving that in New England an old-fashioned kick save is more valued than a well-fashioned kicking heel.

There were other surprises.

The longest and flashiest play of the game was Wes Welker’s 73-yard over-the-shoulder catch. It was good for only 13th place at 102.3 decibels, perhaps because it was the first play from scrimmage after the half.

But whatever you do, don’t ask the End Zone Militia about the noise. At least not after the Patriots score, which this season is early and often.

“What?’’ said musketeer Bill Gundling, edging closer and cupping his ear. “Huh?’

NBA lockout? Wake us when it’s over

2011-10-12T13:03:00.000-07:00

Fact: Somebody somewhere likely is concerned — nay, downright annoyed — that National Basketball Association team owners and players are mired in an ongoing collective-bargaining dispute that forced league commissioner David Stern to cancel the first two weeks of the upcoming season and could result in additional missed games.

Also fact: Despite working in a medium in which call-in verbal venting is both accepted and encouraged, sports talk radio host Steve Czaban has yet to hear from anyone with full blown angina. Or even mild indigestion.

“It’s not just that the phones aren’t burning down about the NBA lockout,” said Mr. Czaban, a host for ESPN 980 and Yahoo! Sports radio. “It’s that if I were to try a call-in segment on it — Are you upset? Is this fair? — people would start calling in angry, asking, ‘Why are you talking about this?’

“The needle is barely twitching on the give-a-[darn] meter. If I were an NBA owner or David Stern or anyone involved in the league, I would be very concerned about that.”

Coming off its most successful season in recent memory, professional basketball faces a work stoppage problem: Specifically, the NBA’s absence is being met with responses ranging from lukewarm disappointment to outright apathy, the cultural equivalent of a collective yawn and shoulder shrug.

In Los Angeles — home to the Lakers, a widely popular and successful franchise featuring superstar player Kobe Bryant — veteran sports columnist Bill Plaschke recently wrote that “the league might be missing games. But we’re not.”

On ESPN — a sports media colossus that regularly broadcasts NBA games and seldom adopts a less-is-more approach to coverage — lockout stories have taken a back seat to the current Major League Baseball playoffs, as well as college and professional football.

In Sacramento, Calif. — a one-team professional sports city that despite economic woes recently scraped together enough public and private money to keep the NBA’s Kings from bolting to Anaheim — sportswriter Tom Couzens asserted that “canceling eight games isn’t nearly enough. How about canceling 20 games — permanently? And some playoff games, too?”

Online, the Twitter handle @NoNBALockout has 47 followers, while an anti-lockout petition has 29 signatories. A Facebook group calling for fans to protest the lockout by boycotting eventual games has 18 members — 83 fewer than a group for adult kickball.

In the Washington area, local lawyer Robin Ficker once was dubbed the NBA’s top fan by former player and television commentator Charles Barkley — in part because Mr. Ficker was an accomplished heckler once featured in Sports Illustrated, in part because he attended every Washington Wizards game for 12 consecutive seasons.

Today, Mr. Ficker regularly watches professional basketball on television and still considers himself a serious fan. Nevertheless, he’s sanguine about the sport’s unplanned absence.

“I’m not worried, even though I don’t expect them to play games this year,” said Mr. Ficker, 68, who lives in Boyds. “As a matter of fact, it will probably do me some good. I’ll work out more than I usually do. Become more heart-healthy instead of sitting on my rear end in front of the TV set.”

Why the seeming indifference, summarized last month when ESPN analyst and former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy stated during a radio interview that “very few people care about the NBA lockout”?

Start with this: Professional basketball isn’t professional football. The National Football League has a stranglehold on the public’s sporting imagination; with the possible exception of college football in a handful of Southeastern Conference cities, everything else is fighting for second place.

Case in point? The NBA reportedly brings in about $930 million annually in total national television rights, hundreds of games split across multiple networks. By contrast, the NFL earns a reported $1.9 billion a year from ESPN to broadcast Monday Night Football — making 17 prime-time pro football games more valuable than all of pro basketball’s national programming.

Theo Epstein Expected to Leave Red Sox for Cubs

2011-10-12T13:01:00.000-07:00

In his first job as a general manager, Theo Epstein helped construct the Boston Red Sox team that ended decades of misery by winning a World Series title in 2004. Now, Epstein is closing in on a deal to take over the Chicago Cubs, a franchise with an even more enduring legacy of dismay.

Epstein is close to completing his transition from the Red Sox to the Cubs, according to a Red Sox official who was granted a request for anonymity because the move had not been announced. Another Red Sox official said that Epstein had not informed his staff of a move, but that the front office widely expected him to leave.

Multiple reports have said Epstein has a five-year agreement in place with the Cubs, with an average annual value from $3 million to $4 million. Because Epstein was signed with the Red Sox through 2012, the teams must agree on how the Cubs would compensate the Red Sox.

Epstein’s deal would probably make him the highest-paid general manager in baseball, although his official title with the Cubs could include president. Epstein’s assistant, Ben Cherington, is the strong favorite to take over as Red Sox general manager.

Epstein, 37, would be leaving the Red Sox at a precarious point. The team is coming off one of the worst collapses in major league history, losing the American League wild-card spot despite leading Tampa Bay by nine games on Sept. 2. That failure resulted in the departure of Manager Terry Francona, who resigned on Sept. 30, citing, in part, a lack of support from ownership.

Pique: "Ne gîndim că putem să facem tripla"

2011-04-14T08:05:00.001-07:00

"Sîntem aproape de finală, dar acum vom înfrunta cea mai dificilă echipă din Liga Campionilor. Însă jucătorii Barcelonei nu sînt de pe altă lume, ci sînt ca noi, printre cei mai buni din lume. Şi cine greşeşte mai puţin va cîştiga. Se poate întîmpla orice. Cine rîde la urmă rîde mai bine, şi sper ca aceasta să fie Real Madrid", a spus Cristiano Ronaldo.

Echipa spaniolă Real Madrid s-a calificat în semifinalele Ligii Campionilor, după ce a învins, cu scorul general de 5-0, formaţia engleză Tottenham Hotspur, în întâlnirea din sferturile de finală ale competiţiei.

In ultimele sapte meciuri Europene disputate pe propriul teren FC Porto a pierdut doar o singura data, 1-0 cu FC Sevilla in mansa secunda a saisprezecimilor de finala insa ei veneau dupa o victorie din tur si astfel au reusit sa avanseze in faza urmatoare. In celelalte sase meciuri jucate au reusit sa castige de cinci ori si sa termine la egaltiate odata. Si rusii se lauda cu un record foarte bun, au reusit sa nu piarda in ultimele opt meciuri disputate in deplasare in acest sezon, doar Chelsea Londra a reusit sa-i invinga intr-un meci din faza grupelor, 4-1. In celelalte meciuri au reusit sa castige de sase ori si au remizat odata.

Lucescu: Sper că FC Barcelona va câştiga Liga Campionilor

2011-04-13T02:44:00.000-07:00

Tehnicianul Mircea Lucescu a declarat, marţi seară, după ce formaţia sa Şahtior Doneţk a fost eliminată de FC Barcelona în semifinalele Ligii Campionilor, că speră ca gruparea catalană să câştige competiţia.

"Felicit FC Barcelona pentru calificare şi sper că va câştiga Liga Campionilor. Nu credeam că ne vom califica, deoarec am pierdut în tur cu scorul de 1-5. A fost un meci spectaculos, am avut mai multe ocazii decât orice altă echipă care a jucat împotriva catalanilor. A fost o mare oportunitate să jucăm contra Barcei şi a oferit experienţă tinerei noastre echipe pentru anul viitor. Am studiat foarte bine FC Barcelona. Singurul lucru pe care nu îl avem este Messi. Am fi învins Barca dacă el era jucătorul nostru. Această echipă este virtual perfectă", a declarat Mircea Lucescu.

Echipa antrenată de Mircea Lucescu, Şahtior Doneţk, fără fundaşul Răzvan Raţ, suspendat, a ratat calificarea în semifinalele Ligii Campionilor, după ce a fost învinsă, cu scorul general de 6-1, de formaţia spaniolă FC Barcelona, în sferturile competiţiei. Marţi seară, Şahtior a fost învinsă la Doneţk de FC Barcelona, scor 1-0, prin golul marcat de Lionel Messi, în minutul 43. În tur, Şahtior a pierdut la Barcelona, scor 1-5.

nuclear threat in japoina

2011-03-19T09:31:00.000-07:00

IWAKI, Japan – Cooling systems failed at another nuclear reactor on Japan's devastated coast Sunday, hours after an explosion at a nearby unit made leaking radiation, or even outright meltdown, the central threat to the country following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.

The Japanese government said radiation emanating from the plant appeared to have decreased after Saturday's blast, which produced a cloud of white smoke that obscured the complex. But the danger was grave enough that officials pumped seawater into the reactor to avoid disaster and moved 170,000 people from the area.

Japan's nuclear safety agency then reported an emergency at another reactor unit, the third in the complex to have its cooling systems malfunction.

Japan dealt with the nuclear threat as it struggled to determine the scope of the earthquake, the most powerful in its recorded history, and the tsunami that ravaged its northeast Friday with breathtaking speed and power. The official count of the dead was 686, but the government said the figure could far exceed 1,000.

Teams searched for the missing along hundreds of miles (kilometers) of the Japanese coast, and thousands of hungry survivors huddled in darkened emergency centers that were cut off from rescuers and aid. At least a million households had gone without water since the quake struck. Large areas of the countryside were surrounded by water and unreachable.

The explosion at the nuclear plant, Fukushima Dai-ichi, 170 miles (274 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo, appeared to be a consequence of steps taken to prevent a meltdown after the quake and tsunami knocked out power to the plant, crippling the system used to cool fuel rods there.

The blast destroyed the building housing the reactor, but not the reactor itself, which is enveloped by stainless steel 6 inches (15 centimeters) thick.

Inside that superheated steel vessel, water being poured over the fuel rods to cool them formed hydrogen. When officials released some of the hydrogen gas to relieve pressure inside the reactor, the hydrogen apparently reacted with oxygen, either in the air or the cooling water, and caused the explosion.

"They are working furiously to find a solution to cool the core," said Mark Hibbs, a senior associate at the Nuclear Policy Program for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Nuclear agency officials said Japan was injecting seawater into the core — an indication, Hibbs said, of "how serious the problem is and how the Japanese had to resort to unusual and improvised solutions to cool the reactor core."

Officials declined to say what the temperature was inside the troubled reactor, Unit 1. At 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 degrees Celsius), the zirconium casings of the fuel rods can react with the cooling water and create hydrogen. At 4,000 F (2,200 C), the uranium fuel pellets inside the rods start to melt, the beginning of a meltdown.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said radiation around the plant had fallen, not risen, after the blast but did not offer an explanation. Virtually any increase in dispersed radiation can raise the risk of cancer, and authorities were planning to distribute iodine, which helps protect against thyroid cancer. Authorities ordered 210,000 people out of the area within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the reactor.

It was the first time Japan had confronted the threat of a significant spread of radiation since the greatest nightmare in its history, a catastrophe exponentially worse: the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States, which resulted in more than 200,000 deaths from the explosions, fallout and radiation sickness.

Officials have said that radiation levels at Fukushima were elevated before the blast: At one point, the plant was releasing each hour the amount of radiation a person normally absorbs from the environment each year.

The Japanese utility that runs the plant said four workers suffered fractures and bruises and were being treated at a hospital. Nine residents of a town near the plant who later evacuated the area tested positive for radiation exposure, though officials said they showed no health problems.

As Japan entered its second night since the magnitude-8.9 quake, there were grim signs that the death toll could soar. One report said no one could find four whole trains. Others said 9,500 people in one coastal town were unaccounted for and that at least 200 bodies had washed ashore elsewhere.

The government said 642 people were missing and 1,426 injured.

Atsushi Ito, an official in Miyagi prefecture, among the worst-hit states, could not confirm the figures, noting that with so little access to the area, thousands of people in scores of towns could not yet be reached.

"Our estimates based on reported cases alone suggest that more than 1,000 people have lost their lives in the disaster," Edano said. "Unfortunately, the actual damage could far exceed that number considering the difficulty assessing the full extent of damage."

Japan, among the most technologically advanced countries in the world, is well-prepared for earthquakes. Its buildings are made to withstand strong jolts — even Friday's, the strongest in Japan since official records began in the late 1800s. The tsunami that followed was beyond human control.

With waves 23 feet (7 meters) high and the speed of a jumbo jet, it raced inland as far as six miles (10 kilometers), swallowing homes, cars, trees, people and anything else in its path.

"The tsunami was unbelievably fast," said Koichi Takairin, a 34-year-old truck driver who was inside his sturdy, four-ton rig when the wave hit the port town of Sendai. "Smaller cars were being swept around me. All I could do was sit in my truck."

His rig ruined, he joined the steady flow of survivors who walked along the road away from the sea and back into the city Saturday.

Smashed cars and small airplanes were jumbled against buildings near the local airport, several miles (kilometers) from the shore. Felled trees and wooden debris lay everywhere as rescue workers in boats nosed through murky waters and around flooded structures.

The tsunami set off warnings across the Pacific Ocean, and waves sent boats crashing into one another and demolished docks on the U.S. West Coast. In Crescent City, California, near the Oregon state line, one person was swept out to sea and had not been found Saturday.

In Japan early Sunday, firefighters had yet to contain a large blaze at the Cosmo Oil refinery in the city of Ichihara. Four million households remained without power. The Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that Japan had asked for additional energy supplies from Russia.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said 50,000 troops had joined the rescue and recovery efforts, helped by boats and helicopters. Dozens of countries offered to pitch in. President Barack Obama said one American aircraft carrier was already off Japan and a second on its way.

Aid had just begun to trickle into many areas. More than 215,000 people were living in 1,350 temporary shelters in five prefectures, the Japanese national police agency said.

"All we have to eat are biscuits and rice balls," said Noboru Uehara, 24, a delivery truck driver who was wrapped in a blanket against the cold at a shelter in Iwake. "I'm worried that we will run out of food."

The transport ministry said all highways from Tokyo leading to quake-stricken areas were closed, except for emergency vehicles. Mobile communications were spotty and calls to the devastated areas were going unanswered.

One hospital in Miyagi prefecture was seen surrounded by water, and the staff had painted "SOS," in English, on its rooftop and were waving white flags.

Around the nuclear plant, where 51,000 people had previously been urged to leave, others struggled to get away.

"Everyone wants to get out of the town. But the roads are terrible," said Reiko Takagi, a middle-aged woman, standing outside a taxi company. "It is too dangerous to go anywhere. But we are afraid that winds may change and bring radiation toward us."

Although the government played down fears of radiation leak, Japanese nuclear agency spokesman Shinji Kinjo acknowledged there were still fears of a meltdown — the collapse of a power plant's systems, rendering it unable regulate temperatures and keep the reactor fuel cool.

Yaroslov Shtrombakh, a Russian nuclear expert, said it was unlikely that the Japanese plant would suffer a meltdown like the one in 1986 at Chernobyl, when a reactor exploded and sent a cloud of radiation over much of Europe. That reactor, unlike the reactor at Fukushima, was not housed in a sealed container.

Gadhafi forces barrel into main rebel base

2011-03-19T07:52:00.000-07:00

- Moammar Gadhafi's military forces pushed into the rebel stronghold of Benghazi on Saturday, as international leaders pondered military options against a Libyan government intent on destroying the fledgling opposition movement.

Incoming artillery rounds landed inside the city, and pro-Gadhafi tanks rolled into the town firing rounds, witnesses said. Plumes of smoke rose in Benghazi as civilians said buildings came under small arms fire and fled their homes in fear of a full-blown assault there.

A fighter jet plummeted from the sky, burst into flames, and nose-dived to the ground. An opposition fighter said the plane belonged to the rebels and was dispatched to try to stop forces supporting Gadhafi from entering Benghazi -- the heart of the opposition.

CNN could not independently confirm who the plane belonged to.

"I have all the Libyan people with me and I'm prepared to die. And they are prepared to die for me. Men, women and even children," Gadhafi said in a letter addressed to President Barack Obama and read to reporters by a government spokesman in Tripoli on Saturday.

Fighting has raged in Libya over the last day despite the government's announcement of an "immediate" cease-fire on Friday.

The declaration -- which came hours after a U.N. Security Council resolution authorized the use of force, including a no-fly zone, to protect Libyan civilians -- was seen by rebels as simply a move to buy itself time.

Gadhafi -- in separate letter addressed to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon -- called the U.N. moves "invalid" because the resolution does not permit intervention in the internal affairs of other countries.

"Libya is not yours. Libya is for all Libyans," said the letter, also read by the spokesman. "You will regret it if you take a step toward intervening in our internal affairs."

"It is not your country. We could never and would never fire one bullet against our people," the letter said.

Violence has raged in Libya following protests calling for democracy and freedom and demanding an end to Gadhafi's almost 42-year-long rule. It's a conflict spurred by anti-government protest and resulting regime violence against civilians -- which the U.N. resolution cites as "outrageous."

But Gadhafi defended his actions in his note to Obama. He said his opponents are from al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the group's North African wing, and asked Obama what he would do if such an armed movement controlled American cities.

"Tell me, how would you behave so I could follow your example?"

In Paris, French President Nicolas Sarkozy hosted an international summit to discuss the crisis. Members of the Arab League, the president of the European Council and representatives of states that support the implementation of the U.N. resolution were invited.

After the U.N. Security Council authorized its resolution, countries, such as Britain, Canada and France, announced military planning and preparations.

As talk emerged in Europe of speedy military action against Gadhafi's regime, Obama on Friday warned Gadhafi to pull back from several besieged cities or face military consequences. He also said power and water must be restored to several cities.

If Gadhafi doesn't comply, the U.N. resolution will be imposed through military action, the president said.

"These terms are not negotiable," Obama said.

The U.N. resolution, while not authorizing such a move, does not preclude the United States from arming rebels, said Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

Super Month near the earth (terra) 03/19/2011

month near the earth (terra) 03/19/2011
I mean no disrespect for those who enjoy the study of astrology. Some of the greatest astronomers of the past were also astrologers. To practice either line requires a deep understanding of our solar system, its movements and the relationship to the celestial sphere. The only thing I have difficulty swallowing is how a perfectly normal function could wreak havoc on planet Earth. Does an astrological prediction of an upcoming “Extreme SuperMoon” spell impending disaster – or is it just one more attempt to excite our natural tendencies to love a good gloom and doom story? That’s what I set about to find out…

On March 19, 2011 the Moon will pass by Earth at a distance of 356,577 kilometers (221,567 miles) – the closest pass in 18 years . In my world, this is known as lunar perigee and a normal lunar perigee averaging a distance of 364,397 kilometers (226,425 miles) happens… well… like clockwork once every orbital period. According to astrologer, Richard Nolle, this month’s closer than average pass is called an Extreme SuperMoon. “SuperMoon is a word I coined in a 1979 article for Dell Publishing Company’s HOROSCOPE magazine, describing what is technically termed a perigee-syzygy; i.e. a new or full Moon (syzygy) which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth (perigee) in a given orbit.” says Richard. “In short, Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line, with Moon in its nearest approach to Earth.”

Opinions aside, it is a scientific fact when the Moon is at perigee there is more gravitational pull, creating higher tides or significant variations in high and low tides. In addition, the tidal effect of the Sun’s gravitational field increases the Moon’s orbital eccentricity when the orbit’s major axis is aligned with the Sun-Earth vector. Or, more specifically, when the Moon is full or new. We are all aware of Earth’s tidal bulges. The average tidal bulge closely follows the Moon in its orbit, and the Earth rotates under this tidal bulge in just over a day. However, the rotation drags the position of the tidal bulge ahead of the position directly under the Moon. It produces torque… But is it above average torque when the Moon is closer? It you ask a geologist, they’ll tell you no. If you ask an astronomer, they’ll tell you that just about any cataclysmic Earth event can be related to stars. But if you ask me, I’ll tell you that you should draw your own opinion. Even the American Meteorlogical Society states: “Tidal forces contribute to ocean currents, which moderate global temperatures by transporting heat energy toward the poles. It has been suggested that in addition to other factors, harmonic beat variations in tidal forcing may contribute to climate changes.”

“SuperMoons are noteworthy for their close association with extreme tidal forces working in what astrologers of old used to call the sublunary world: the atmosphere, crust and oceans of our home planet – including ourselves, of course. From extreme coastal tides to severe storms to powerful earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the entire natural world surges and spasms under the sway of the SuperMoon alignment – within three days either way of the exact syzygy, as a general rule.” says Nolle. “Obviously it won’t be the case that all hell will break loose all over the world within a few days either side of the SuperMoons. For most of us, the geocosmic risk raised by SuperMoon alignments will pass with little notice in our immediate vicinity. This is a rather roomy planet, after all. But the fact remains that a SuperMoon is planetary in scale, being a special alignment of Earth, Sun and Moon. It’s likewise planetary in scope, in the sense that there’s no place on Earth not subject to the tidal force of the perigee-syzygy.”
