New LSU offense led by Orgeron shows immediate results
Ed Orgeron's debut resulted in the best LSU offensive performance in a long time.
Coach O brought the O.
And, oh, it was something.
Under its fiery new Cajun leader, LSU blasted Missouri 42-7 on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium, rolling up the most yards (634) in a Southeastern Conference game in school history and stuffing the league's top-ranked offense in Ed Orgeron's dashing debut as interim head coach.
Running back Derrius Guice, subbing for an injured Leonard Fournette, ran for a career-high 163 yards, scored three first-half touchdowns and helped Coach O and the Tigers (3-2, 2-1) jump out to 35-0 lead. They coasted to a romping win in front of an announced 102,071.
"Whole week," Orgeron said, "you can feel the state of Louisiana on fire."
They're toasty now. This one was never in doubt.
"We played for 60 minutes," Orgeron said. "We put the pedal to the metal. ... We're just getting started."
LSU outgained Missouri 158-31 in the first quarter, jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead and stifled a Missouri offense that entered the game ranked No. 1 in the league. Eight of Missouri's first 10 drives ended in a punt, and coach Barry Odom's squad did not cross LSU's 45-yard line until 10 minutes were left in the third quarter.
By that time, Guice, an electric sophomore out of Baton Rouge's Catholic High, had scored three times, racing in from 42, 4 and 37 yards. He was the lead horse in an offense that flashed new formations and different personnel — tweaks that Orgeron alluded to throughout the week.
Odom admitted after the game that LSU "did a couple of things different."
Watch the highlights of LSU's 42-7 win over Missouri! The LSU Tigers ran wild for 634 yards of total offense. #AllForLSU pic.twitter.com/q6wFuA3Dav
— LSU Football (@LSUfootball) October 2, 2016
It started during practice this week. Those were more fast-paced and shorter, the players said.
LSU had two 100-yard rushers (Guice and Darrel Williams, who also had three TDs) and a 200-yard passer (Danny Etling) in the same game for the first time since 2013 against Furman. Orgeron's group put together four drives of at least 80 yards in the same game against an SEC team for the first time since 2001.
The Tigers broke their record for offense in a conference game on the last significant snap on their final drive, eclipsing 630-yard outings against Ole Miss (1987) and Mississippi State (1967).
"The output we had on offense was tremendous," Orgeron said.
"Great game plan. Everything was working tonight," receiver D.J. Chark said. "We were able to give them a start to a new season."
Etling missed a handful of long passes, but he made a few snazzy plays with his feet and kept the offense chugging. LSU's first three-and-out didn't come until late in the third quarter, and the Tigers had scoring marches of 84, 93, 89, 85 and 75 yards.
New offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger's unit put on a show a week after a woeful offensive outing at Auburn resulted in the ouster of head coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
LSU fired those two Sunday afternoon, moving Orgeron, a Larose native, to head coach and Ensminger to the coordinator role. The team responded in a rousing way with its former coach watching from afar.
In an interview that aired Saturday morning on ESPN, Miles said he planned to watch his former team play Missouri (2-3, 0-2) from his Baton Rouge home and that he "understands" LSU's decision to fire him because the school wanted "more production, more wins."
They got one on a cool early October Saturday in Baton Rouge. A trip to sluggish Florida (4-1, 2-1) comes next. LSU and Orgeron did this without their star tailback, too: Fournette, nursing a bruised and once-sprained left ankle, did not dress out, and the coach said the running back could not have played even if LSU needed him.
What a great night for The Tigers!
— Coach Ed Orgeron (@Coach_EdOrgeron) October 2, 2016
It didn't Saturday. LSU ran for a whopping 418 yards, averaging more than 8 yards per carry. Williams ran for 130, Nick Brossette had 73 and Etling, despite those downfield struggles, hit nine different receivers with his 19 completions.
It all had Coach O happy afterward — and wet. The gravel-voiced Cajun got a Gatorade bath after the game. He called it a "dream" walking into Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
"It makes us feel good knowing that we've got our coach's back," Chark said of the win. "It's a new season for us. Going on the road next week, playing against a good Florida team, we just want to show we got Coach O's back again and (we're) going to fight for him in The Swamp."
Orgeron stepped onto the field more than two hours before pregame warmups, receiving a warm welcome from a few hundred students in the stands. Before leaving the playing surface, the coach raced toward the student section, pumping his fist and pounding his chest.
Halfway through the first quarter, after Guice's 42-yard touchdown run, he threw his chest into the running back for a rare midgame chest bump from coach to player.
Orgeron and Ensminger flashed that reworked offense the head coach talked so much about all week. The practice tweaks weren't the only differences. LSU simplified its offense, specifically for the quarterbacks, the players said. They ran different plays from different formations, too, Orgeron said.
And they passed early, a key in opening up the running game late.
"Well, we opened up with the passing game," Orgeron said in an interview with ESPN immediately after the game. "We loosened them up a little bit, just what the game plan was, then put the run to them."
LSU opened the game with four receivers — including Russell Gage, a Redemptorist High grad who played more snaps in the game than he has in his three-year career. The Tigers passed the ball on their first four plays, each of them a four-receiver formation.
What a night for @LSUfootball as they beat Mizzou 42-7!! #HoldThatTiger #ALLForLSU pic.twitter.com/ofds7fNkm2
— LSU Pix (@LSUpix) October 2, 2016
"It's definitely something new," Chark said.
"It was a nice mixture of both (old and new offense)," Etling said. "We went out there and executed the plays that were called."
LSU roared to a big lead and rolled up a whopping 19 first downs in the first half, hitting 350 yards late in the second quarter. The Tigers hadn't hit that mark in five of their previous nine complete games.
Orgeron made his first critical call in the first quarter, going for it on fourth-and-2 at the Missouri 25. Guice was stuffed for no gain, the only speed bump in an otherwise fiery opening half in an explosive opening act.
"We're going to stay hungry, going to get better," Orgeron said. "There are going to be bigger and better opponents down the road."

This work called, Cabalistic Pink Floyd Tarot is written to honor the twenty-third day of March.
Listening to MEDDLE by the 20th path and according to the sign Virgo, which is the 9th key and represents The Hermit card.
Hear the sound F natural and see the color yellowish green. Here the soul encounters the Magus of the Beautiful Eternal Voice who is the intelligence of divine will. By the will of heaven, the will of the soul and the will of the Hermit this path relieves the soul of all primordial animal desires. The desires necessary for survival in animal form are an unnecessary burden in the astral world. The primordial wisdom of desire protect the creature as much as possible from physical and mental pain, and there is a great deal of pain and suffering to be encountered while the soul is in incarnate form. Crossing this path in the astral world the Magus of the Beautiful Eternal Voice removes this earthbound wisdom from the soul freeing its own eternal intelligence from having to continue to carry the primordial mortal wisdom on it's passage through these paths. When thinking of the The Hermit card meditate on these lyrics: 'No one calls us to move on and no one forces down our eyes, no one speaks and no one tries, no one flies around the sun.'

3: Excerpt from Liana Finck's "A Bintel Brief," 2014.
This is a page from the final chapter of Liana Finck's book. Each of the eleven chapters in A Bintel Brief: Love and Longing in Old New York was composed in a different style and mode. When exploring comics, readers have to pay attention to a number of factors working together, including but not limited to: the overall flow and direction of the page, or what can be described as its architecture, the sizes and shapes of the small boxes, called panels, that are generally laid out in sequence, the size and shape of the lettering and word- or thought-bubbles, the style of the art itself, and the interactions between words and images on the page.
Suggested Activity: Have students read the letter to the editor in resource 1 of this kit, paying particular attention to the first paragraph on the second half of the page. Then have students look at this excerpt from Finck's graphic novel.
Ask students to compare the two compositions. In what ways does the language itself change between the prose letter and the comic? Do these changes affect students' readings of the letter, and if so, how? Invite students to study the details in the graphic novel excerpt as closely as possible, thinking about how looking at and reading the visual narrative might reshape their reading of the original letter. Is the graphic novel true to the letter? In what ways does seeing the story in this other mode affect the reader's understanding of the events in the letter, including the state of mind of the letter-writer? Have students pay special attention to the ways Finck's graphic novel excerpt marks time (past versus present) and also to what happens when a figure, like the Angel of Death, or even the letter-writer herself, is portrayed in an illustration. This might also be a good opportunity to discuss the differences between fiction and non-fiction, and how those differences can be difficult to define.

Manchester United Considering Leicester's Harvey Barnes Transfer as a Cheaper Alternative to Jadon Sancho
By Amreen

Manchester United considering transfer move for Harvey Barnes | Octavio Passos/Getty Images
Manchester United are reportedly targeting Leicester City's Harvey Barnes as a potential Jadon Sancho alternative ahead of the January transfer window.
The 22-year-old has had an impressive season so far and made his debut for England in a 3-0 win over Wales in October. And according to the Daily Star who quote the Sun in a far fetched rumour, United are considering making a move for the Englishman during January.
However, the report adds that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will have to wait to bring Barnes to Old Trafford as Leicester seem reluctant to sell one of their top-performing players midway through the season.
Brendan Rodgers' side are in fourth place ahead of their trip to face Sheffield United on Sunday, and are targeting a Champions League spot after narrowly missing out to Chelsea last season.
Barnes has been in form for the Foxes this season, having scored three goals in the Premier League and two in the Europa League.
The report also claims that Leicester value Barnes at £60m, but would refuse to entertain any approaches for one of their most highly-rated players.
United still consider Borussia Dortmund's Sancho as their number one target, but the Bundesliga club are not expected to relent on their £108million price tag for the 20-year-old winger.

Q: Looking for example of quotient of group algebra by ideal of group ring which fails to be injective I am looking for an example of a group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ of a finite group $G$ along with a lattice $I$ (in the case at hand the word 'lattice' means: a $\mathbb{Z}[G]$-submodule which is additionally a finitely generated free $\mathbb{Z}$-subalgebra [corrected]) such that
\begin{equation}
M:=\mathbb{Q}[G] / I
\end{equation}
is $\textit{not}$ an injective $\mathbb{Z}[G]$-module.
Note that I really want $\mathbb{Q}[G]/I$ and not something like $\mathbb{Z}[G]/I$, where it is easy to produce non-injective examples (for example $I=0$ would do...).
To give some context: Since $\mathbb{Q}[G]$ is semisimple, every torsion-free divisible module is injective. This remains true for all divisible modules (now possibly having torsion) if and only if the order is hereditary - which group rings of finite groups practically never are.
So essentially every group ring of a finite group should have a torsion divisible module which fails to be injective. But do there exist such examples of the concrete shape of $M$ as above, i.e. as the quotient of the semisimple algebra itself?
Added in edit: If that helps: It would be equivalent to produce an example of a lattice $I$ inside $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ such that $\operatorname{Ext}_{\mathbb{Z}[G]}^2(N,I)\neq0$ for some $N$. (one sees this by looking at the $\operatorname{Ext}_{\mathbb{Z}[G]}^{\bullet}(N,-)$ long exact sequence of $I \hookrightarrow \mathbb{Q}[G] \twoheadrightarrow M$). For example, if I allowed infinite groups, then $G=\mathbb{Z}$ and $I$ the augmentation ideal would solve my question. However, I need a finite $G$...

A: So long as $G$ is nontrivial, the augmentation ideal of $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ still works.
If $I$ is any submodule of $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ then there is a short exact sequence of $\mathbb{Z}[G]$-modules
$$0\to\mathbb{Z}[G]/I\to\mathbb{Q}[G]/I\to\mathbb{Q}[G]/\mathbb{Z}[G]\to0.$$
The last term is always injective, so if the middle term is injective, then $\mathbb{Z}[G]/I$ has injective dimension at most one, and so in particular $H^i(G,\mathbb{Z}[G]/I)=0$ for $i>1$.
But if $I$ is the augmentation ideal of $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ then $\mathbb{Z}[G]/I$ is just $\mathbb{Z}$ with trivial $G$-action, and there are arbitarily large $i$ with $H^i(G,\mathbb{Z})\neq0$.

Founder Interviews / Mon 26 Sep 2016
Q&A: Memrise co-founder talks diversity, mentorship and long-term plans
At Tech City News, we're always keen to shine a light on those who make up the UK's thriving technology community. This week, we spoke with Ed Cooke, co-founder of Memrise, a language learning app.
Tech vertical: EdTech
Funding: $6.28m
Staff count: 45
Q: When was the company founded, how many employees does it have and where is it based?
We began life in 2010, and got off to a slow start: we still had just 6 employees in 2014. Since then, we've grown to 45 employees. We're based in a converted church in Bethnal Green.
Q: Where did the idea come from?
The intention of Memrise is to give everyone learning superpowers. The idea came from my experiences in memory championships, where I saw how simple techniques of imagination can help almost anyone achieve extraordinarily speedy and effective learning, crucially by having more fun with their minds.
Q: What's your background? What were you doing before?
I studied cognitive science for many years – hopping between various European universities – and did a lot of teaching and writing – at one point, I was Mr. Memory columnist for the Times.
The thing that always interested me the most was how the same information, depending on its context and how it's presented, can be joyfully simple to learn or impossibly difficult.
Q: Tell us an interesting fact about yourself.
I once taught a US journalist in a single year to become the US memory champion.
Q: How does Memrise make money if the app is free?
We have a freemium model where a small percentage of our users pay for a few extra features: including the ability to download courses offline, and play extra game modes. Great features that add value to the experience.
Q: How is Memrise going? Can you share stats on number of users/revenue?
We've grown 20x in the last two years, and we now have millions of active users, so we're in the top handful of learning apps worldwide. We make enough money to support our team. The goal's to grow 20x again in the next couple of years.
Q: How is the company funded (VC, Angel, self-funded)?
We have some really interesting and helpful angels in the US, whom we met by doing Techstars Boston in 2011: including Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress) and Jeff Hammerbacher (who was the first data scientist at Facebook, then founded Cloudera).
On the VC side, we've been brilliantly supported by Balderton in London, and a firm called Avalon in the US, who were the first investors in Zynga.
Q: What has been the most challenging part about setting up your company?
Having never had a job in a company before starting a company, it took me a long time to comprehend that processes enhance creativity, vs destroying it.
Q: What has been the most enjoyable part about setting up your company?
Getting to work alongside wonderful people, and the fun of building a diverse team: we have 24 nationalities at Memrise, and the team is 50-50 men and women.
And then of course seeing the reception of the product: millions of people actually having fun while learning. Vain though it is to say, it's particularly delightful seeing someone greedily using Memrise next to you on the tube.
Q: What have been your biggest company milestones?
Internally, the key milestones I recognise are those when certain people joined the company. I could name five whose arrival noticeably changed the possibilities of the whole company.
From an external point of view, our most important decisions tend to have been the most painful: dropping key features, focusing on languages vs everything, going all-in on mobile. Decisions that simplified the product and amplified the team, but which were controversial at the time.
Q: Have you had a mentor? If so, who and what did they do for you?
I've been very lucky with mentors. Peter Reed in London, for instance. One early mentor who made a big difference was Bill Warner, a Bostonian who'd founded Avid, the first video-editing software. Bill helped me understand that the essence of a company is its intention, and that when the intention is clear, the decisions take care of themselves. When, on the other hand, the intention isn't so clear, everything becomes effortful and slow.
Q: Who do you see as your main competitors and how do you differ?
There are a number of wonderful companies in the language learning space, including Busuu in London, and Duolingo in the US. But Memrise is doing something wholly different to these quite academic, interactive text-book apps. We're creating a genuine learning game: something you play without a sense of effort or obligation or aspiration. Something you play even if you're tired or don't care especially about languages. Entertainment learning. We think there's a category bigger than formal education waiting to be unlocked by the right product.
Q: What did you do the last 12 months?
We launched a whole new look and feel to the app, much more gamey. It's been a great success. We also sent a double decker bus full of linguists and film-makers on an 8,000 mile road trip across Europe to collect video dictionaries of 9 languages. It's the most human, real-world language content ever created. It makes learning anarchically fun, which is how we like it.
Q: What are your plans for the next 12 months?
We're elaborating our game, making the learning ever more delightful, and also doing marketing for the first time: the aim is to grow to 10s of millions of active users, while continually improving the impact of the learning technology both through machine learning and human content invention and design.
Q: What advice would you give to those starting their own tech company?
Discover an intention that you really care about. Keep it separate in your mind from any specific features or initiatives: this gives both flexibility and focus, a magic combo. Also: make sure to build a diverse team: it produces better ideas, more creativity, more fun and a more joyful product.

Q: Unique homomorphism Given two groups, how do you show that a homomorphism with some property is unique? I am thinking that you take two homomorphisms with that property and show they take an arbitrary element in the domain to the same element in the codomain. Is that the right way to think about it, or is there more that I should consider?
Specifically:
If $H$ is any group with $h$ an element of $H$, $h^n = 1$, and $\mathbb Z_n$ the cyclic subgroup of order $n$, show there is a unique homomorphism with the property that $x$ is mapped to $h$.

A: As has been discussed in the comments, any homomorphism is fully determined by its action on generators. That is, the only possible homomorphism with $f(x)=h$ is $f(x^i)=h^i$, $f(1)=1$, as follows from the homomorphism property (and induction.) So uniqueness is settled: you have only to show this homomorphism exists.
We have defined a function mapping $1$ to $1$, so we only need to confirm that $f(x^ix^j)=f(x^{i+j})$. The possible problem is that $f(x^{i+j})$ may have been defined as $h^{i+j-n}$: in fact, this happens whenever $i+j\geq n$. So the only real point to check in our proof is that $h^ih^j=h^{i+j-n}$. But $h^{i+j-n}=h^ih^jh^{-n}$, and $h^{-n}=(h^n)^{-1}=e$.

The only issue is whether the prosecutor's behavior during the first trial constituted deliberate misconduct intended to provoke a mistrial motion and whether the double jeopardy clause is thus invoked to bar retrial. See United States v. Dinitz, 424 U.S. 600, 96 S.Ct. 1075, 47 L.Ed.2d 267. Defendant Rios at his first trial was convicted by a jury of possession of heroin with intent to distribute. Defense counsel moved for a mistrial after the prosecution's closing argument urging that improper remarks had prejudiced the defendant. The motion was denied. We reversed the conviction in United States v. Rios, 611 F.2d 1335 (10th Cir.), because prosecutorial misconduct prevented a fair trial.
Defendant moved at his second trial to bar retrial based on double jeopardy. An evidentiary hearing was held on the issue, and the motion was denied. This appeal followed.
This case is somewhat different from the Dinitz line of cases in which prosecutorial misconduct actually caused a mistrial to be granted in the trial court. Here, the mistrial motion was denied. The same procedural situation was however presented to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Commonwealth v. Potter, 478 Pa. 251, 386 A.2d 918. See also the comment, The Double Jeopardy Clause and Mistrials Granted on Defendant's Motion: What Kind of Prosecutorial Misconduct Precludes Reprosecution? 18 Duquesne L.Rev. 103 (1979). Although equally divided on the final judgment, the majority of the justices in Potter concluded that reversal of a conviction for prosecutorial misconduct after a mistrial has been denied should be treated the same for purposes of double jeopardy analysis as if the mistrial had been granted in the first instance, and said:
"As we have noted, appellant's mistrial motions during the course of the second trial were denied, but were later deemed meritorious by the court en banc, with the result that a new trial was awarded. The question then arises whether the fact that a new trial was the result of a decision by a reviewing court rather than the declaration of a mistrial by the trial judge requires that the exceptions to the Ball principle cannot be considered. We think not; a distinction between granting a new trial at the urging of a defendant and ordering a mistrial at his request is without significance for double jeopardy purposes. Recent cases in the Supreme Court of the United States have emphasized that in the field of federal criminal practice the applicability of double jeopardy analysis is not dependent on nice procedural distinctions."
We conclude that double jeopardy considerations applicable after a mistrial has been granted are indeed applicable in the same manner when prosecutorial misconduct requires reversal of a conviction for lack of a fair trial after a mistrial motion has been denied. We have dealt with the standard for retrial after a mistrial is caused by prosecutorial misconduct in United States v. Leonard, 593 F.2d 951, 954 (10th Cir.). We there stated:
"The Double Jeopardy Clause does protect a defendant against governmental actions intended to provoke mistrial requests and thereby to subject defendants to the substantial burdens imposed by multiple prosecutions. It bars retrials where `bad-faith conduct by judge or prosecutor,' United States v. Jorn, supra, at [ 400 U.S. 470] 485, [ 91 S.Ct. 547 at 557, 27 L.Ed.2d 543] threatens the `[h]arassment of an accused by successive prosecutions or declaration of a mistrial so as to afford the prosecution a more favorable opportunity to convict' the defendant."
See also our United States v. Brooks, 599 F.2d 943, 945 (10th Cir.):
"In Dinitz, the Supreme Court held that a request by a defendant for a mistrial ordinarily removes any barrier to his reprosecution, even if the request is prompted by prosecutorial or judicial error. Under Dinitz, the only exception to the general rule is where bad faith conduct by the judge or prosecutor threatens harassment of an accused by successive prosecution so as to afford the prosecution a more favorable opportunity to convict."
Accord, United States v. Clayborne, 584 F.2d 346 (10th Cir.); United States v. Nelson, 582 F.2d 1246 (10th Cir.); United States v. Rumpf, 576 F.2d 818 (10th Cir.); United States v. Buzzard, 540 F.2d 1383 (10th Cir.).
Thus "`[t]he Double Jeopardy Clause does protect a defendant against governmental actions intended to provoke mistrial requests and thereby to subject defendants to the substantial burdens imposed by multiple prosecutions.'" United States v. Scott, 437 U.S. 82, 94, 98 S.Ct. 2187, 2195, 57 L.Ed.2d 65, citing United States v. Dinitz, 424 U.S. at 611, 96 S.Ct. at 1081.
Under this standard, retrial is allowable here because the record demonstrates that the prosecutor did not intend to cause a mistrial request to further the chances of conviction. The trial court so found. At the hearing on the motion to bar reprosecution, the prosecutor testified that he definitely did not want to retry the case for several reasons.
The trial court found no action by the prosecution was intended to cause a mistrial, and the evidence supports this finding. Although such prosecutorial misconduct is not to be condoned, "bad faith in the abstract does not help the defendant in any event. It must be bad faith, the impact of which provokes a mistrial request." United States v. Leonard, 593 F.2d 951, 954 (10th Cir.).
We cannot conclude under the circumstances revealed in the record that provoking a mistrial request was a motive of the prosecutor. The record instead indicates that a very strong case had been made against the defendant, that government witnesses might not be again available, and that no purpose would have been served by forcing a mistrial in order to enhance the prosecution's opportunity for conviction at another trial.
[12] McKAY, Circuit Judge, dissenting:
In Lee v. United States, 432 U.S. 23, 97 S.Ct. 2141, 52 L.Ed.2d 80 (1977), the Supreme Court characterized the rule laid down in United States v. Dinitz, 424 U.S. 600, 96 S.Ct. 1075, 47 L.Ed.2d 267 (1976), as follows: "[T]here was no double jeopardy barrier to petitioner's retrial unless the judicial or prosecutorial error that prompted petitioner's motion was `intended to provoke' the motion or was otherwise `motivated by bad faith or undertaken to harass or prejudice' petitioner." 432 U.S. at 33-34, 97 S.Ct. at 2147 (quoting United States v. Dinitz, 424 U.S. at 611, 96 S.Ct. at 1081) (emphasis added).
The Court's failure to find a double jeopardy violation in Lee was based on the majority's conclusion that the prosecution's conduct did not evidence bad faith. That element has been supplied here by our own decision in the previous appeal of this case, United States v. Rios, 611 F.2d 1335 (10th Cir. 1979). There we effectively held that the prosecutor's comments constituted gross prosecutorial misconduct:
The effect of these assertions before the jury was that defense counsel's investigator was clearly charged with contriving the defense testimony, with no factual basis to justify such a serious charge. Similar comments have been condemned by this court recently in United States v. Siviglia, No. 76-1914 (10th Cir. 6/5/78) (unpublished). There counsel argued that a witness had lied because defense counsel had told him to do so. We emphatically stated (slip op. 33-34):
We hold and conclude that the prosecutor's comments constituted gross prosecutorial misconduct requiring reversal of Siviglia's conviction . . . .
Second, there were remarks clearly directed at the appellant in the closing rebuttal, drawing an inference that appellant had threatened the safety of the Vega brothers who were testifying against him. There was no evidence linking the appellant to any such threats to the Vegas and the innuendo was unfounded and unfair. . . .
Third, there was a strong statement of the prosecuting attorney's conclusion that the appellant was a large dealer in heroin. . . .
We must agree that the effect of this rebuttal argument was to impress the jury with the prosecuting attorney's personal conclusion that the appellant was guilty. Such remarks expressing the personal opinion of the prosecuting attorney have been emphatically disapproved. . . .
. . . In such a case, with so much riding on the credibility of the appellant, and in view of the errors discussed, we must hold that the prosecutorial misconduct was prejudicial error which denied appellant a fair trial.
United States v. Rios, 611 F.2d 1335, 1342 43 (10th Cir. 1979) (footnotes and citations omitted). Such conduct is, in my opinion, tantamount to bad faith.
To suggest that the double jeopardy clause is not violated unless the defendant can show (presumably only through the prosecutor's confession) that the subjective purpose of the prosecutor was to obtain a mistrial invites the prosecution to go as far as it wishes, knowing that the only sanction it faces is a new trial. Such a conclusion offends the spirit of Dinitz and Lee and the requirements of the double jeopardy clause. Any suggestion to the contrary in our previous cases, see United States v. Leonard, 593 F.2d 951 (10th Cir. 1979), should not be followed.
In Rios, the defendant's motion for mistrial was denied by the trial court, but that decision was reversed on appeal by the 10th Circuit. Although Rios was decided before Kennedy, the 10th Circuit recognized the exception to the general rule that a mistrial requested by the defendant does not bar a second trial under double jeopardy where the prosecutor provokes the defendant's request for mistrial, and determined that it made no difference in applying the rule whether the trial court or the appellate court granted the defendant's motion for mistrial.

Care2 Causes | Pet Sterilization Is Saving Millions Of Lives
Pet Sterilization Is Saving Millions Of Lives
By: Sharon S.
Follow Sharon at @petrescuemomma
Thanks to spay and neuter programs and public education campaigns the hard work of animal rescue groups across the country is paying off by saving millions of lives. Experts reported that fewer animals will die this year because sterilization is becoming part of responsible pet ownership.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society International less than 4 million cats and dogs will be euthanized in the U.S. this year. The number sounds large, but it is down from the 12-20 million animals that lost their lives in the 1970s.
"The decline in the number of animals being euthanized each year comes as the pet population has boomed. In 1970, there were about 62 million pets, and today there are about 170 million," Stephen Zawistowski science adviser for the ASPCA said an Associated Press interview.
Zawistowski said it took years of campaigning to change the thinking of pet owners about sterilization. And although animal rescue groups knew they could never "adopt their way out" of the pet overpopulation problem and find homes for every homeless animal, most owners did not think of sterilization as an automatic component of being a responsible guardian.
Even veterinarians weren't all proficient in spay and neuter surgeries. Mr. Zawistowski described how his first dog came home with a foot long incision after she was spayed 50 years ago.
Thankfully things have changed. Better medical procedures have made the surgeries easier on the animals and leave only a small incision. And mandatory spay and neuter laws in many cities have led more low-cost clinics that are easily accessed by the public.
Nearly every public animal shelter, rescue group and welfare organization has joined the effort to sterilize the cats and dogs in their care.
In Las Vegas, NV where 50 percent of the dogs and 90 percent of the cats in the public shelters are euthanized, an aggressive spay and neuter program was recently started. Operation Clean Sweep is a collaboration between three rescue groups and animal control to sterilize every "free-roaming" and owned cat in targeted neighborhoods. Like many cities, the majority of pets relinquished to public shelters come from a few "at-risk" communities.
The program sponsored by Heaven Can Wait Animal Society, the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society and the Community Cat Coalition of Clark County was funded through a grant from PetSmart Charities.
Betsy Banks Saul, co-founder of Petfinder.com told Forbes that even with a decrease in euthanasia, "4 million animals put to death is still 4 million too many." Saul hopes for an affordable pill or implant to sterilize pets in the future.
Dr. Gary Michelson, a billionaire orthopedic spinal surgeon and founder of Found Animals, offered a $25 million prize in 2008 to the scientist that could create a chemical to sterilize male and female cats and dogs. His organization says they are pleased with the unique proposals coming in.
It looks very promising that one day pet overpopulation and the euthanasia of healthy animals will be a thing of the past. In the meantime, spread the word about how sterilization is saving millions of lives.

Wow! shocked 12-20 million dogs and cats were euthenized in the 70"s. Cant even think how many lost their lives before that. Poor souls, but even 4 million is still alot. I try to educate people the impotance of fixing their dogs and cats. But some people are just to close minded to get it. Feell that educating the pubic can save many dogs and cats lives.

Linda S. Very well said and what a wonderful person to do that! If I ever come into a large sum of money shelters would be my first stops for big donations.
Linda S. What a wonderful person to do that! If I ever come into a large sum of money that would definitely be something I would do myself. I despise anyone who could ever run a puppy mill. In fact I currently have 2 Yorkshire Terriers that were no longer wanted by one that I have adopted. When they arrived at my house their state was unimaginable. It brings me to tears to think of those conditions and what they have been through. They are such loving girls and I feel so lucky to have them in my life.
Linda Szymoniak7 years ago
I agree that spay/neuter is needed, but of course, if we could shut down puppy mills, we could cut down the number of dogs going into shelters and increase the number being adopted. It is irresponsible for puppy mills to continue breeding so many dogs (especially with the horrible conditions the animals face in most of them) and just as irresponsible for people to buy puppies from stores, since they mostly come from the puppy mills.
However, while I fully approve of spay/neuter programs, I don't feel that MANDATORY spay/neuter really works. You need to provide information to the public, and then offer low-cost (or even better, free) spay/neuter. Areas where mandatory spay/neuter has been enacted have often felt the backlash as more animals are simply dumped at shelters by owners who don't want to be forced to do something, or people are just willing to work their way around the law. Offering free spay/neuter - and perhaps even an incentive to the owner - has worked wonders in some areas. A rescue friend of mine from northern Michigan told me about a donation they were given that was specifically earmarked for spay/neuter of cats. The surgery was covered at no cost to the owner and for each animal brought in, the owner was given $10 bonus. It was a complete success, and had people catching stray cats just to get their $10. They exhausted the donation and managed to reach cat owners that would normally have been missed by other programs.

It's sad to see how many mother cats are dumped at the street whit kittens or just pregnant.. I have one of those kittens from a cat that was dumped... she's now almost 4 months

Everyone should spay or neuter their animals. To not do so it animal cruelty.

You bet your ass every city should have mandatory spay/neuter laws!!! :(

For Those Who Believe We Need a Draft
From Draft NOtices, September-October 2002
- Rick Jahnkow
Every now and then we hear people talk about wanting to bring back conscription. Sometimes it comes from conservatives and militarists who would like to see a larger military force so they can expand U.S. bases abroad and conduct warfare in more places simultaneously.
We also hear it from liberals, and even a few leftists, who are under the impression that conscription would be doing a big favor for disadvantaged youths or would lessen the chances of war by spreading the burden for maintaining our bloated military establishment and overly aggressive foreign policy to more middle-class people. They even make the argument, sometimes, that we need a draft to keep us from drifting toward Prussian militarism and a Hitler-type dictatorship.
These aren't new arguments. Some of them were used to successfully convince people to keep the draft that was begun during WWII, even though the people of this country had historically been suspicious of conscription and previously had only allowed drafts briefly during the Civil War and WWI. Many of these arguments were also used in the early 1970s to try to keep the draft going as we began to pull out of the war in Southeast Asia. By then, however, Vietnam had brought back the traditional understanding that conscription exploits those who are politically and economically disadvantaged and makes it easier for governments to wage illegitimate wars.
Unfortunately, the memory of this lesson is not as fresh as it once was, and there are both liberals and conservatives who are now taking advantage of the post-9/11 climate of fear to make people think that a draft would be good for the nation.
Right now, our military doesn't really require conscription to maintain its current force levels, and the Pentagon has found that using its well-funded recruiting campaign and expanded outreach to schools can influence young people in a way that would be impossible with a draft (threatening people with jail if they don't enter the military is hardly an effective way to win the hearts and minds of younger generations). However, if the war hawks in this country continue to have their way, there will be more pressure to enlarge the armed forces beyond what can be supported with voluntary enlistments, and the voices calling for conscription will get much louder than they presently are. This is a good time, therefore, to review some of the key issues that should be considered:
1. There are those who claim that conscription is needed for national defense. However, it takes months to move people through the draft classification system, the induction process and military training, so it has no usefulness for meeting short-term emergencies. (The Reserves and National Guard are designed to play that role.) The draft's main military value is to provide a steady stream of draftees for a long, drawn-out war or when the size of military commitments is so large that the force level can't be maintained with only enlistments. With a draft, the government doesn't have to rely on people voluntarily stepping forward to fill the military's ranks, so it can maintain a larger force size and pursue the kind of unpopular military adventurism that led to more than 10 years of U.S. warfare in Southeast Asia. Not having a draft doesn't guarantee the U.S. won't wage illegitimate wars, but it creates more pressure on the government to justify its actions than if we gave the president the blank check she/he would have with conscription.
2. Conscription is an unfair tax. Any government can provide staffing for public services two basic ways: it can pay people to do the necessary work, or confiscate their labor and order them to do it. A draft is confiscation that forces individuals to give up their freedom and some of the higher civilian income they could have earned while in the military. Because of the higher turnover of drafted military personnel, training becomes more expensive and the government is forced to set wages low for both draftees and professional volunteers, so all military members - but especially the draftees - pay a severe personal tax, and the true cost of the military is not shared equally by all.
3. Contrary to some people's claim, a draft would not protect us from the dangerous influence of a professional military class. By nature, the military is not a democratic organization, and with or without conscription it is the officer corps and politicians who set and control policy, not the lower ranks. Lower-ranking military members take a great risk in defying orders; even merely questioning them can bring reprisals that have much greater consequences than those faced by employees with civilian jobs.
If the draft were a protection from totalitarianism and dictatorship, then conscription would not have been relied upon as it was by past totalitarian governments in Spain, Russia, China, various Latin American countries, Prussia/Germany and Japan.
4. The argument that a draft will keep us out of illegitimate wars because draftees would be more likely to resist them is often heard, but it ignores some important facts:
· Draftees are picked young and have the least understanding of the political policies for which their lives may be sacrificed.
· They are the most obedient of troops because, above all, they want to get out of the military, and they know that if they stay out of trouble, they only have to wait a couple of years. Volunteers, on the other hand, are in for a longer term and have much more at stake.
· A historical fact that has been forgotten even by many liberals is that most of the organized resistance to the Vietnam War within the armed forces - like the Concerned Officers Movement and Movement for a Democratic Military - came largely from volunteers, not draftees.
· A draft was in place prior to the Vietnam War, yet it took more than 10 years of body bags coming home before resistance and general opposition grew strong enough to finally force an end to the war. If the draft was supposed to be an obstacle to illegitimate war, it didn't do a very good job with that conflict.
5. Some people believe that the problem with the Vietnam draft was that it disproportionately affected non-white and low-income people. They say a draft that includes more middle-class, white people would be more just and would cause greater reluctance to go to war. There are several problems with this argument:
· Once a U.S. president sends people into combat and body bags start coming home, it becomes very difficult, politically, to retreat; those who are intent on making war know that no politician will ever want to be the one who says that U.S. soldiers died in vain. This means that if a president wants to launch military action, she/he can do so with confidence that both Congress and the public will back him, at least initially. Draftees would not provide a braking effect until after there were great losses and probably years of stalemate (Vietnam is a prime example).
· The U.S. government has learned that the key to avoiding the kind of civilian and military resistance that occurred with Vietnam is to keep the U.S. casualty count, length of battle, and media coverage down to a minimum. That's why the Pentagon has shifted to fighting wars more with massive air bombardment, missile attacks and native client forces on the ground. Having conscription would not be a reason to change this strategy, so spreading the burden of war with a draft would still not create the potential opposition that some people predict.
· We will always have a ground combat force that is disproportionately poorer and non-white. Even with a draft, people with privilege would be more able to get the medical deferments and conscientious objector status that would keep them out of uniform, and if they failed to stay out of the military, their education would put them disproportionately into noncombat jobs. The most important thing that we can do today to address racial and class imbalance in the military is to demand a more equitable economy and an improved, demilitarized educational system, while also working to shrink the war budget.
· The logic that we need a draft so that more members of a particular group can be killed or placed at risk in order to bring home to the public that war is wrong has serious ethical implications. Aside from being a form of hostage-taking, it's like saying people should become drug users to learn about the harmful consequences of using drugs, or that we should support another nuclear arms race, because more people would feel the threat of annihilation and that would then lead to the elimination of war - or at least nuclear weapons (though that clearly didn't happen after the 1980s nuclear arms race). If the U.S. government had the power to send EVERYONE off to kill and/or be killed in its wars of intervention, it would be a form of equality - but it would be equality of the grave. Instead, we should demand that NO one be drafted, and NO one be recruited to fight for the economic and political exploitation of the rest of the world by the U.S.
We have wars because people have been brought up with a predominant value system that encourages people to solve disagreements with violence. The general population is indoctrinated in this value system from an early age, and our culture and governmental institutions reinforce it. Military training is the extreme form of pro-war indoctrination, which is why people like Napoleon, Hitler and the militarists of today have wanted to universally subject young people to conscription. The draft is a quick and effective way to indoctrinate more people and then send them back to civilian society to spread the authoritarian value system they have learned.
The Pentagon was forced to give up the draft at the end of Vietnam, but it has been been increasingly insinuating itself in institutions of socialization to continue the process of militarization. If we brought back the draft, it wouldn't remove the military from our schools or culture, it would just make it easier to put more people through the militarization process. We'd end up repeating the post-WWII cycle that led to decades of reactionary politics and an obedient population that was willing to give the Pentagon anything it wanted.
Practicing effective self-government and democracy requires that we instill in individuals a propensity for critical, creative thinking and a willingness to challenge the "chain of command" when institutions are not serving their needs. Bringing back the draft is the opposite of what we should do to achieve those goals.

Find strawberries at the peak of ripeness. Avoid fruit that is overly ripe as the jam won't taste good.
Wash and slice the berries.
I like to use Pomona Pectin as you can have a fresher, healthier jam using much less sugar.
Mix up calcium water then add pectin powder to your sugar. I used four cups berries and two cups sugar for this batch.
Bring mashed strawberries with calcium water to a boil then add sugar and pectin. Stir thoroughly and bring back to a boil. Boil one minute then put in jar.
Put the filled jars in a water bath canner and boil for 10 minutes. Check seals once jars have cooled.


"I want you all to solve your problems by getting RICH!". Howled into the microphone by Leo before an office full of his animalistic employees, this line neatly encapsulates Jordan Belfort's fascinating yet abhorrent story of wealth, women and material possessions. That's just one example in 180 minutes of the level of greed and lust coursing through these characters as they throw raucous parties, hold orgies in the office and generally get up to no good while conning people into throwing their money at them. The level of unprofessionalism on display makes Belfort's story genuinely hard to believe at times. Could they really have been so irresponsible? So careless? So incredibly arrogant? Apparently, absolutely so.
The Wolf Of Wall Street finally roars into UK cinemas fresh off of five Oscar nods for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenpla. While the likelihood of it winning them all is slim, frankly, it's good for every one of the nominations. If I were to choose one winner out of the five, I'd go for DiCaprio for best actor. Even without the appalling omission of Tom Hanks, the statue is probably going to Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years A Slave, but as terrific as he is in that film, Leo is equally terrific as the titular wolf in Scorsese's rambunctious biopic – plus he has the added impetus of desperately deserving one for being pretty much perfect in every role he's ever played.
The quality of DiCaprio in Wolf stems at least partly from his intimate understanding with his director. The pair have worked together five times now, with each film arguably even better than the last (although I still think The Departed is the most brilliant piece of work), and there's grown to be a blatant understanding between the two. He's boisterous and off the hook just enough not to become a caricature, yet during early proceedings when he's a mere cub, he doesn't overplay the naivety.
Throughout every step of the journey he completely convinces us that he is Jordan Belfort; that he really doesn't care about anyone but himself and that he really is addicted to every drug on the market. One of the funniest moments is when he's suddenly hit with the biggest high of his life and, being unable to even walk, creates "cerebral palsy" look. As he excruciatingly drags himself outside, rolls down the steps and edges towards his car, we can't help but giggle uncontrollably and marvel at the brilliance of DiCaprio's performance – yet it's equally horrendous when we remember this actually happened, that everything in Belfort's story is true.
It's also curious how seemingly kind the film is to its protagonist (some would of course argue he's the very opposite of a protagonist). While the screenplay is directly based on Belfort's book of the same name, it appears to have gone down one of two roads. We never exactly sympathise with Belfort, but we feel something for him, which is strange because for all intents and purposes, his story is pretty despicable. He's a greedy, arrogant, uncaring, unfaithful drug addict who cares for nothing more than his riches, and we know that if it were us on the other end of the line he wouldn't stop until he had our money.
Yet on that other end we somehow understand his plight. For who wouldn't want to be rich? Who wouldn't want to rise to the top? Is it truly his fault, when he started out like everyone else; young, ambitious and timid? Was it ever really his goal to become the monster – or, indeed, the wolf – that he did? It's an interesting moral dilemma that I think writer Terence Winter pitches just about right. I began this review with Belfort's line about solving problems with riches, which as I said appears to be the crux of his story, but there's actually a bit more to it than that. By the end we remain fairly unsympathetic towards him, as we would expect to, but the line "to err is human" undeniably drifts delicately into our thoughts.
There's been a lot of talk about the length and whether it really needs to be three hours. The simple answer is that no, it certainly doesn't. One crunch is that it does feel like a story we've seen before; the drama runs a very similar arc to something like Goodfellas where we witness the rise and inevitable decline of the young, wannabe king who desires nothing more than money and power, and there are a number of sequences that definitely could have been tightened up. Two and a half hours probably would have sufficed. Yet, that being said, it does remain gripping and completely entertaining for the entire running time, which for any three hour movie is something of an accomplishment. And what the hell, it's Scorsese – in my mind he can do whatever he wants.
Brilliant review. I heard comments somewhere that the film doesn't show the consequences of the type of behaviour portrayed, but I think, even just watching the trailer, for anyone with more than two brain cells,, that would be self-evident. Scorsese, rightly, didn't want to patronise the audience.

The Petrovsky-Palace-on-the-way was built in 1782 so that Catherine the Great and her entourage would have a place to stop and rest up on the last night of what was then an arduous seven-day journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow.
According to the intertubes, she spent only a single night there, in 1785. Napoleon also spent a night at the palace, in 1812, while hiding from the fires that were raging through Moscow. Throughout the nineteenth century, czars and emperors used Petrovsky Palace as a staging site from which their coronation processions headed to the Kremlin.
After the revolution, the Soviets rebuilt all the imperial palaces in the Moscow area except for this one, which was preserved on the grounds of the top-secret Zhukovsky Military-Engineering Academy of Aviation. After perestroika it came into the hands of the city government, which recently restored and reopend Petrovsky Palace as a guest house and reception center for VIPs visiting Moscow.

For another entry in our occasional series on post-Soviet public art, consider this monument, erected in 2007 in Moscow, thonoring the Nobel-prize-winning author Mikhail Sholokhov.
There must be something about the situation of this monument that makes it difficult to photograph the whole thing at once. I've settled here for a picture that shows barely more than half of it--missing off to the right is most of a stone pedestal supporting a rowboat carrying a bronze statue of Sholokhov himself. That's the bow of the boat and the curve of Sholokhov's back at the right edge of the photo. He is just sitting in the boat, not rowing.
The boat and the swimming horses are not directly from any of his novels, I'm told. Note that there are two groups of horses, both apparently trying to swim upstream but veering off in slightly different directions. One group is reddish in color, the other whitish. This has all been described as a metaphor for the Russian Revolution, in which Sholokhov fought as a 13-year-old boy on the side of the reds. His most famous novel, And Quiet Flows the Don, looks at life among the Cossacks of his native Rostov-on-Don region of Russia in the years leading up to World War I and the Russian Civil War and revolution. If the river is representing time or history, it is surely significant that Sholokhov is facing bacward in the boat.
The monument is the work of a committee: artist Alexander Rukavishnikor, architect Igor Voskresensky, and sculptors Iulian and Philip Rukavishnikov.
Sholokhov is something of a Soviet success story. Although the revolution ended his formal schooling at the age of 13 and he suppored himself in the early 1920s as a stevedore, he decided to become a writer and took advantage of writers' seminars offered for workers.. His mother, a Ukrainian, was illiterate until late in life, when she decided to learn to write letters to her son.
Perhaps the greatest feud of Soviet literary history involved Sholokhov and Aleksandr Solzhenitzsyn, who despised one another. Sholokhov wrote a scathing review of Solzhenitzsyn's work, and Solzhenitzsyn accused Sholokhov of plagiarism. Many Moscow residents dislike the monument intensely--Sholokhov had nothing to do with Moscow, they say, and should not be memorialized in the city--certainly not on the street named Gogol Boulevard, The underlying issue seems to be that he's a Soviet author, and these latter days are a problematic time for monuments to Soviet authors.

Home / Bird & Parrot Care / Not Looking at Your Bird Holistically May Be Dangerous to Its Health
Not Looking at Your Bird Holistically May Be Dangerous to Its Health
Bird & Parrot Care / Bird Cage Info
Last Updated on March 18, 2022 by Catherine Tobsing
How many times have you watched in awe as a flighted bird hops off the top of it's cage – the "flap, flap, flap" then it lands on an inch wide piece of ceiling crown molding or a computer monitor and in bird speak says "what's up?" Never giving a thought to that gravity thing that keeps the rest of us tethered to Mother Earth.
These are special creatures indeed.
Do we really give our birds enough credit for their ability to adapt?
It's been my observation that most caged bird keepers fail (sell, rehome or give to a rescue) because the birds are unable to adapt to the keeper's expectations. "She's way messier than I thought." "We'll have none of that flying, we don't want it to get hurt", and the heart of today's topic "We gotta trim those nails, Marlene, I can't keep buying new sweaters".
It's been a while since I've used the term "holistic" and I have been remiss. If you read enough Facebook threads about birds you hear all the gushing caged bird keepers who extol the virtues of organic and holistic diets for our FIDS (Feather kids) as if the two terms were interchangeable.
One of the many definitions of the word holistic is characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole. In other words, looking at anything as a "whole".
What that means is that everything we do to our bird, ie clip its wings, or even cut its nails, impacts everything the bird does. For example, once the bird's wings are clipped you solve the (non) flying problem but create a balance problem. Ever see a downhill skier without poles?
Take away the poles (ends of the wings) and you can no longer feel where the ground is. If you have a 5-foot tall cage and your clipped bird falls from a top interior perch for lack of balance, an injury may be sustained. This is why flighted birds need different cage configurations than clipped birds. But that's another story.
What triggered this topic was a call from a woman who had ordered a Jumbo (2 – 3 Inch diameter) manzanita perch for her Moluccan Cockatoo. she call to return the perch because her bird kept slipping off it. She went on to say the perch clearly was defective because her bird "never had this problem".
I patiently listened to her entire story including the part about just getting back from the vet for a nail and wing trim and the bird was traumatized enough. When she finished, In my Dr. Mitch voice I said, " There may be a relationship to the shortened nails with blunt ends and her inability to grab onto a piece of wood equal to the diameter of her body, don't you think?"
Comfortably perched on a 4-inch diameter sleigh bed footboard – whoda thunk it?
We've not heard from the customer since so I'm guessing as the nails grew, so did the bird's ability to grab the new perch. This brings us to the moral of this story which is "every action taken with a bird impacts its ability to do – anything". I'm not saying don't trim your bird's nails, but it comes with the understanding that you have an animal whose balance and grip have both been compromised, even if only temporarily.
When you do, as with any change in a bird's body or environment, watch closely for its ability to cope with the new change however minor it may be. A 4-foot fall from a perch at the top of the cage can cause injury to your bird if they were used to being able to recover from a slip before due to long nails and unclipped wings.
Not that I'm an expert on the subject but having just spent 8 days "helicopter parenting" over our cockatiel whose foot was in a paper cast, made us realize how something not much larger than a postage stamp wrapped around our bird's foot and leg changed EVERYTHING in her life!
Pedicure Perches help remove the sharp tips on a bird's nails. Placed low in the cage by the food dishes or in the front encourage them to be used.

Iranian Commander Says Collapse of US Empire is Near
The Rumor Mill News Reading Room
Posted By: Jordon
Date: Tuesday, 24-Jun-2014 16:26:11
The deputy commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Brig.-Gen. Hossein Salami said that the US's status in the world has deteriorated and that its collapse is near.
"Today nowhere in the Muslim world" does anyone pull out "a red carpet for American officials and that's why [US President Barack] Obama secretly" showed up at Bagram military base in Afghanistan without first letting President Hamid Karzai know, said Salami according to a report by Iran's Fars news
"And this shows that the US empire is coming to an end," he said.
Obama made a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Sunday and spoke to the Afghan president, but did not meet with him.
Karzai previously rejected an invitation extended through the US Embassy to meet Obama at Bagram.
"President Karzai said he would warmly welcome him [Obama] if he comes to the palace, but in no way would he go [to] Bagram to meet him," Abdul Karim Khurram, Karzai's chief of staff, told Reuters.
A US official said the White House was not surprised that the proposed visit did not work on short notice.
The commander also said, according to the report, that Iran continued to gain military and economic power, warning the country's enemies that their plots against it would fail.
"Any enemy formula will entail an unexpected ending for him and this is due to the Iranian nation's reliance on religious and Islamic beliefs," added Salami.
Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif slammed Israel's attempts to set redlines on the country's nuclear program at a ministerial conference of the Non-Aligned Movement in Algeria on Wednesday.
"Is this not insolence towards the international law and the Non-Proliferation Treaty that [Israel], a non-member of NPT, which has massive nuclear arsenals and poses major existential threats to the entire Middle East region, sets redlines on Iran's peaceful nuclear program?" asked Zarif, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported.
Zarif said that attempts to paint Iran as a threat to the region and the world have repeatedly turned out to be "total lies" and that the country is opposed to nuclear weapons.
Separately, Iranian and Russian officials met in Tehran on Wednesday in order to expand trade cooperation, Fars reported.
Russian Ambassador to Iran, Levan Djagaryan, met the head of Iran's Customs Administration, Massoud Karbasiyan.
"Iran and Russia are going to sign a new document on customs cooperation," said Karbasiyan.
The Russian envoy called for improved bilateral trade.
Current trade is worth about $5 billion a year.

Many individuals and families are just one paycheck away from homelessness, explained Rachel Eliser, a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) serving with Safe Parking LA, a nonprofit committed to providing a safe and secure place for vehicle dwellers to sleep. The Safe Parking LA program is modeled after programs in other cities in California, including Santa Barbara, San Diego and San Jose, as well as communities in Washington state and Oregon.
Paul Estes, a first-grader from Torrington, Wyoming, looks forward to shedding his wiggly tooth and welcoming a visit from the tooth fairy.
When Nancy Wind, the leader of the new worshiping community Isaiah's Table in Syracuse, N.Y., first saw the Presbyterian Mission Agency's invitation for congregations to become Matthew 25 churches on this website, she was intrigued.
When the Rev. Kirk Perucca of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Kansas City heard Presbyterian Mission Agency president and executive director the Rev. Dr. Dianne Moffett speak about the PMA's new Matthew 25 invitation, he got excited.

New WA Aboriginal Housing Foundation established, supporting ECEC training
An innovative joint venture in Western Australia will result in the establishment of social housing, specialised care, and a training centre with an early childhood education and care (ECEC) component, following the establishment of the Aboriginal Housing Foundation.
Wayne Nannup, CEO of the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) and of the Aboriginal Housing Recovery Centre Limited explained that the venture signals "the beginning of a new way of doing things."
"Our partnership and constructive working relationship with Equity Trustees, as trustee of the Noongar Charitable Trust, has opened the door to a new approach – it has been driven by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal people. We are excited about what we can achieve – and the opportunities in the future" he added.
The Aboriginal Housing Foundation is a newly created special purpose charitable Trust, created to benefit Noongar people of South West WA, through the acquisition of properties for housing, care and training programs for Noongar people.
The first property acquisition, facilitated through the Noongar Charitable Trust, is an existing resort and lifestyle village, currently named 'El Caballo'. This space will be used as the basis of a multipurpose complex to ultimately house nearly 180 Aboriginal people, facilitate a domestic violence refuge and support service, rehabilitation centre, cultural awareness centre, childcare places for 50 Aboriginal children and specialist aged care facilities.
Located on site will be a vocational training program which will have a diverse range of offerings – from horticulture through to language, childcare and property management – while the Trade centre will be equipped to support hospitality and catering training through to building and construction facilities.
The Foundation will be overseen by co- trustees in the Noongar not-for-profit Aboriginal Housing Recovery Centre Limited, and Equity Trustees. Speaking on behalf of Equity Trustees Ian Westley, Executive General Manager, Trustee and Wealth Services, said it was both a privilege and responsibility, as a trustee, to ensure that it was established for the benefit of Aboriginal communities to enable and empower those communities.
"We have enjoyed a very positive and constructive partnership with Noongar people and organisations through our work with other trusts, and are looking forward to extending this partnership through this new innovative joint venture to improve housing outcomes for Aboriginal people in the South West," he said.
