A security nightmare
Just because you don't see us doesn't mean we don't see you," Colburn said. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers from northern border states remain frustrated. Given the outrage over undocumented workers flooding in from Mexico, they remain skeptical the Border Patrol will ever pay enough attention to the northern border. "They aren't leaning forward on this," said Rep. Norm Dicks, DWash., a member of the House Homeland Security Committee. Congress wants to add as many as 600 additional agents to northern border patrols. But some say even that isn't enough. "There will still be a huge inequity," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. "We do have problems with illegal immigrants on the southern border, but we have problems with terrorists on the northern border." CANADA'S TERRORISM RISK Given Canada's open immigration policies, terrorist organizations have established cells there seeking "safe havens, operational bases and attempting to gain access to the USA," according to a 1998 report from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
Toe to Toe: Hodes versus Schmidley (Hodes)
Make no mistake, Johan Santana to the Mets is a huge deal. Epic, in fact. But does it make the Mets New York's team? Not even close. The Yankees are still tops in New York, and one pitcher, no matter how great, cannot do anything to change that. Historically, the comparisons scarcely need to be made. Then again, why not have some fun. World Series Titles: 26-2. Pennants: 39-4. Division Titles: 15-2. Need I go on? The Yankees are the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports. The Mets? Eh, not so much. Still, this isn't a historical debate -- it's an exercise in who will be the "it" team in New York in 2008.

Aspen Music Fest 101
A front-row seat to watch violinist Gil Shaham perform Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, opus 61, with David Zinman conducting the chamber symphony - the final piece on that evening's program - was there for the taking for anyone willing to plunk down a 10 spot.
Reasoning I'd catch the evening performance later, I headed to adjacent Harris Concert Hall for a 10 a.m. Piano Master Class led by instructor Ann Schein. It was $22 - the most money I spent all day.
I had no idea what to expect, but I was handed a program as I descended into the auditorium - three pieces by Franz Liszt and contemporary work by Ligeti that I planned to hate, but didn't.
The plethora of master classes and student recitals over a nine-week festival season are, I gather, a chance to catch the rising stars of the classical world in their "I remember when" moments - akin to seeing the Beatles at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1961.

I forgot what the question was," the inspector said. "I think the question was, 'You didn't find any clues?' " Du Bois said. "That's correct, yes," Moschetti said. 3:18 p.m. A court holiday alert: there will be no trial on Tuesday, Feb. 12 because of Lincoln's Birthday.

about this blog
Flowers we like to grow should have names that please us and its a joy to find them honoring men and women who've excelled in the world of gardens. Weeds, on the other hand, should have names we loathe, so we can go about their destruction with more zest and vim. The process of weeding is more sanative if you name the pests after your own special enemies and pet abominations. Don't bother to learn whether your new intruder is pigweed or horse nettle. Just christen it in honor of some neighbor who you find difficult to 'love as thyself' and, while abolishing it, you also may vent your spleen." -- Julian Meade, Bouquets and Bitters, 1940.***** ***** *****Here's one of those lesser gardening moments: last evening, as I was tucking a few seedlings of white lobelia into this window box, it tried to re-enact the tale of the SS Poseidon, as it tumbled from its bracket and nearly capsized.
