football (college i pro) daleko ispred svega ostalog. baseball i kosarka su iza, ali se drze...hokeju je naglo pala popularnost zbog onog strajka od sezone i pol.

nogomet je dosta popularan, ali to zavisi i od regije...ovdje kod mene je nogomet dosta popularniji od hokeja jer hokej ni nemamo. gore na sjeveru je obratno.

ipak - footballu ni baseball ni kosarka ne mogu ama bas nista - pogotovo college footballu koji ima vece stadione (i punije) od profesionalaca.

Danas slušam ESPN radio (na AM frekvenciji) u kamionu i pričaju nešt o sportašima koji su dobri ali ih mediji ignoriraju, pa voditelj kaže "...in THREE major professional sports -- so, football, basketball and baseball; soccer not yet..."

Eto znači, nogomet se bogme penje, polako ali sigurno, a hokej više ne stane u istu rečenicu sa "glavnim" sportovima.  Mogu reći da me malo iznenadilo...

Nova strategija SAD za Avganistan


Vašington, Brisel -- Američki predsednik Barak Obama objavio je novu strategiju za Avganistan, koja predviđa slanje još 30 000 vojnika u tu zemlju. Povlačenje iz Avganistana 2011.

Američka vojska će početi da se povlači iz Avganistana u julu 2011. godine, saopštio je Obama. Time će se privesti kraju najduži američki rat u istoriji. Obamin govor koji je održan sinoć mnogi analitičari opisuju kao "najvažniji govor njegovog mandata". Predsednik Obama se osvrnuo i na konačno napuštanje Iraka sledeće godine.

Protekle noći jedan od glavnih događaja bilo je obraćanje američkog predsednika koji je predstavio novu strategiju za Avganistan.

Barak Obama govorio je na Vest Pointu i istakao da je američko povlačenje za godinu i po, ali i da se vrlo brzo postojeće trupe pojačavaju za 30 000 vojnika.

Tako će u Avganistanu biti ukupno 100 000 pripadnika američke armije.

"Kao vrhovni komandant, odlučio sam da je od najvišeg državnog interesa da pošaljemo dodatnih 30 000 američkih vojnika u Avganistan. Nakon 18 meseci, naše trupe će početi da se vraćaju kući. To su resursi koji su nam potrebni da se povučemo i stvorimo kapacitete koji će omogućiti Avganistancima da odgovorno vode zemlju dok se mi povlačimo", očekuje predsednik SAD.



Obama je podsetio da su Sjedinjene Države bile primorane da deluju protiv Avganistana, jer je ta zemlja pružala utočište talibanima.

Američki predsednik je rekao da shvata težinu i rizik kome se trupe izlažu i da bi povukao sve vojnike iz Avganistana kada bi znao da ne postoji rizik za američki narod.

“Doneo sam ovu odluku zato što sam ubeđen da nam je sigurnost ugrožena u Avganistanu i Pakistanu. To je epicentar nasilnog ekstremizma koji sprovodi Al Kaida. Odatle smo napadnuti 11. septembra i gde se novi napadi planiraju ovog časa”, podsetio je on.

Na kraju, Obama se direktno obratio Avganistancima rečima da Sjedinjene Američke Države ne žele da tu zemlju drže pod okupacijom.

Enron recently conducted feasibility studies for a $2.5 billion trans-Caspian gas pipeline to be built jointly with General Electric and Bechtel. Enron's goal was to link this pipeline to another line through Afghanistan.

As described in many accounts, notably the recently published "Osama Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth" by Jean Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasique, a Central Asia Gas (CentGas) consortium led by Unocal had plans for a 1,005 mile oil pipeline and a 918 mile natural gas pipeline from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistan. This project stalled because of the political instability in Afghanistan.

In August 2001, George W. Bush revived negotiations with the Taliban.

Chevron Corp is in talks with Turkmenistan over its possible participation in developing the giant South Iolotan gas field, the company's country head said today.

Washington has urged the Caspian nation to allow US companies to invest in its lucrative onshore projects but Turkmenistan has so far admitted only China's CNPC.

Turkmenistan, an isolated country north of Iran, is at the heart of a geopolitical struggle between the United States, Russia and China for access to its resources, notably its abundant gas.

South Iolotan contains between 4 trillion and 14 trillion cubic metres of gas, according to Britain's Gaffney, Cline and Associates, making it one of the world's five largest deposits.

Afghan Prime Minister Hamid Karzai and his transitional government assume power in Afghanistan. It was reported a few weeks before that he had been a paid consultant for Unocal at one time (Karzai and Unocal both deny this), as well as Deputy Foreign Minister for the Taliban. [Le Monde (Paris), 12/13/2001; CNN, 12/22/2001]

Unocal = Enron

On November 29, 2001, the Wall Street Journal ran an article, "Running on Empty-Enron Faces Collapse as Credit, Stock Dive and Dynergy Bolts" in which they reported, "Previously, even though Enron's practices had worried some regulators, the Bush administration had kept its distance. Over the last decade, the company and its chairman, Mr. Lay, may have been Mr. Bush's biggest financial backers, donating nearly $2 million to his campaigns.

E, ako oni uspeju da kroz gasovod povežu Afganistan, Pakistan i Ind(j)iju - ja im skidam kapu! Pa tu će biti diverzija mali milion! Ima da buše cevi ko oni u Nigeriji (što ih svako malo pogine po par stotina jer im niko nije rekao da ne treba da pale cigarete u blizini rupe koju su probili na gasovodu!).

Što ga unaprijed osuđujete, možda treba 30000 ljudi koji će puštati bijele golubice i dijeliti maslinove grančice po cijelom Afganistanu

taj naftovod je poprilicno hrabra ideja... kao prvo, treba osigurat da se Turkmenistan otrgne iz narucja majcice Rusije, pa treba srusit rezim u Teheranu, pa osigurat Afganistan, pa pocistit Pakistan... za to sve skupa im treba bar 3 000 000 vojnika, a ne 30 tisuca


inace, savjetnici oko Azerbedjzana su mi bas onako lieblich... Azerbejdzan je drzava kojom vec 20 godina vlada jedna obitelj (caca, pa sin), naravno krvavo-diktatorski... al nema veze ni pitanja o ljuckim pravima, sve dok sviraju po USA-notama... tako divno americki

Bright Lights, Ditto City

If you can’t beat ‘em, amusingly underperform ‘em

By ANDREW GREINER
Updated 6:24 PM CST, Fri, Dec 4, 200

Dave Nosek

Dave Nosek’s neighbor always has an outstanding holiday lights display: white bulbs dangling from the gutters, blue bulbs circling the windows, trees completely wrapped in multi-colored lighting.

“Every year his gets bigger and bigger,” Nosek, 40, says.

So rather than compete with the shimmering light display that twinkles from Chet Cybulski's yard, Nosek followed a time-tested maxim: If you can’t beat ‘em, amusingly underperform ‘em.

Nosek arranged a few twisted sets of Christmas lights above his garage into the word “DITTO” with an arrow pointing toward Cy

Where Cybulski, 52, spent nearly five days untwisting and arranging the lights for his yard, Nosek's job took about an hour.

But Cybulski and Nosek are far from neighborhood lighting rivals – there is no grudge match brewing between these Elburn residents. Cybulski actually gave Nosek the “DITTO” idea.

“I found a similar picture on the Internet and I showed it to Dave,” Cybulski said. “I thought it would be funny.”

Unfortunately, the “DITTO” display is outshining Cybulski’s intricate arrangement with spectators.

Nosek said dozens of revelers have stopped by to snap photos of his sarcastic illumination.

“I feel bad for Chet,” Nosek said. “Poor guy spends four days putting up his lights and I’m getting all the accolades.”

Cybulski said he doesn’t mind.

“Not at all,” he said. “It’s there for the enjoyment of all. As long as someone gets a kick out of it I’m OK.”
