This was not my creation. The credit goes to a Charlotte fan who posted Primoz’s nickname in a Detroit basketball forum upon Primoz’s arrival in Detroit stemming from the Nazr Mohammed trade. Knowing Wikipedia’s uncertainness I decided to search around for other sites that would lend a helping hand. I found some offering nicknames of past and present NBAers. Interesting material… Andray Blatche: Cabbage Blatche. I’m so sorry Andray. n Wikipedia it also had “The Blatchine Gun”. Jerome Williams (former NBAer): Junk Yard Dog. Jerome’s nickname made number 10 on Gene.
Asia Times nline :: Middle East News Iraq Iran current affairs

And even before the coup d’etat in Washington many CWers were arguing that a limited US strike on Iranian installations would be impractical (do we really know where they are?) and costly (oil prices and anti-Americans in the Middle East would rise above their current dangerous levels). It could be argued that the spooks in Washington just provided the Bushies with an excuse not to do what they had already decided not to do (which explains why some conspiracy theorists have suggested that the Bushies were the driving force behind the decision to release the NIE report). But consider the following: Does anyone really think that President Bush would like to read the following Wikipedia entry 10 years from now: George Walker Bush (born July 6 1946) was the 43rd US president. His decision to invade Iraq and oust Saddam Hussein resulted in the disintegration of Iraq and in the emergence of its neighbor and rival Iran as the main military power in the Persian Gulf turning the Shi’ite-headed regime in Baghdad as well as the Shi’ite-led groups in Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East into political satellites of Tehran. The invasion of Iraq accelerated Iran’s efforts to acquire nuclear military capability (which it did in 2009 immediately after President Barack bama entered the White House) posing a major threat to US allies in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia Israel and Western strategic and economic interests in the oil-rich region. In short President Bush proved to be Iran’s most faithful ally. Indeed President Bush recognizes that the mess he has made in Iraq combined with the rising power of radical Shi’ite forces there has played into the hands of the Iranians.
Germany’s ‘last’ WWI veteran dies
BBC News – Jan 26, 2008
End of an eraReports in Die Welt daily and Der Spiegel magazine identified Kaestner as Germany’s last World War I veteran but verification of the claim was difficult as the country keeps no record of its war veterans. In a country where the shame of the Nazi genocide and memories of two world war defeats still cast long shadows both publications focused more on the German national psyche than the death itself. “The German public was within a hair’s breadth of never learning of the end of an era” wrote Der Spiegel until someone updated his death notice on the internet encyclopaedia site Wikipedia. In its obituary for Kaestner Die Welt noted: “The losers hide themselves in a state of self-pity and self denial that they happily try to mitigate by forgetting. fficer judge husbandBorn in 1900 Kaestner had joined the army when he left school in 1918. He rejoined the military as a Luftwaffe first lieutenant in 1939 where he served mainly as a ground support officer in France. After the war he became a judge in Hanover where his work earned him Lower Saxony’s Merit Cross.
