Favre’s ankle appears to be healing quickly

brett favre walked with only a slight limp thursday.

the 38-year-old jets quarterback twisted his left ankle monday endlessly in chic york’s loss at san diego. though the ankle was tightly wrapped, favre appeared to walk comfortably through the locker room before practice.

he took part in warmup jogs and threw with no unconcealed discomfort in the half-hour of practice the media are allowed to watch. favre took a certain butter-fingered out of tune with on a handoff and appeared to grimace, but seemed subtle afterward.

he was listed as circumscribed at practice on the team’s impairment report because the second straight day.

“he was masterly to get a little bit of action” on wednesday, coach eric mangini said before practice, “and i think it will be a little moment more today.”

Aid workers abducted in Ethiopia

Two aid workers working for Medecins du Monde in Ethiopia have been abducted from the Ogaden region that borders Somalia, the French aid agency says.

Eyewitnesses say the man and woman, whose nationalities are not known, have been taken to Somalia’s central region of Galguduud by well-armed gunmen.

Kidnapping of foreigners is common in Somalia. Correspondents say most are released after ransoms are paid.

On Monday, a kidnapped German and his Somali wife were freed.

They were released by police in the Somali semi-autonomous north-eastern region of Puntland.

The aid workers in Ogaden, Ethiopia’s Somali region which is suffering from a severe drought, were kidnapped on Monday.

“The organisation is in permanent contact with the authorities, its team on the ground as well as other actors on the field,” AFP news agency quotes Medecins du Monde as saying in a statement.

Somalia has been wracked by conflict since 1991 and ethnic Somali rebels have been fighting an insurgency for years in Ogaden.

Steve Clemons: STREAMING LIVE — Zbigniew Brzezinski & Brent Scowcroft on “America and the World”

Mark 1 computer

I don’t often post announcements of live, streaming discussions — and I’ll get the video up later on HuffPost, but tonight is an exception. Tune in here at 6 pm EST for a discussion I’ll be holding with realist strategists Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft.

I think that progressives should be interested and perhaps very surprised to learn that in foreign policy circles, Brent Scowcroft and Zbigniew Brzezinski — two of the sculptors of America’s Cold War strategy — are among the leading “dissidents” in Washington today opposed to the course that George W. Bush has taken the country.

I will be moderating this discussion which will screen here live on Huffington Post.

Broadcasting Live with Ustream.TV

brzezinski twn book 2.jpg Tonight I will be moderating a discussion with two of the most significant foreign policy observers and practitioners in America today — Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft.

Brzezinski, who is a Trustee & Counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter. Scowcroft, who chairs the Scowcroft Group and is co-chair of the Aspen Strategy Group of the Aspen Institute, was National Security Advisor to Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush.

Tonight they and I will be discussing their new New America Foundation/Basic books release, America and the World: Conversations on the Future of American Foreign Policy which I think is the single best book now on the market of what America needs to do to get its strategic position back into positive territory.

scowcroft twn book 2.jpg The two foreign policy giants recently engaged in numerous taped, moderated discussions about American national security and foreign policy with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius. This book authored by Brzezinski, Scowcroft, and Ignatius is the edited product of those discussions.

The LIVE STREAMING will begin at approximately 6 pm EST and the program will run until approximately 7 pm EST.

To buy your copy of the book, go here.

I am deeply vested in this book as to some degree, it was an idea I and the New America Foundation/American Strategy Program helped hatch and produce.

I want to thank Basic Books — all of its staff and leadership — but also its former Editor, William Frucht, as well as Perseus CEO Frank Pearl, Basic Books President John Scherer, Basic Books Publicity Director Michele Jacob, but especially. . .

Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft — who are not only brilliant observers of the contemporary scene but who also are essentially the Jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau of U.S. foreign policy — as well as David Ignatius who knew how to provoke, to tease out and set the pace for an incredible, discussion and tour de force of America’s current circumstances and prospects on the world stage.

More later. Watch with us.

The Past Roars to Life: The Land Before Time + Walking With Dinosaurs = Kids Off The Couch

Are your kids dino-obsessed? Do you remember when they read Danny the Dinosaur and dreamt of riding a dinosaur’s back? Our kids slept with their dinosaur books, memorizing each name — Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex — and have always wondered what it would be like to meet a real life dinosaur. But wonder no more, because…they’re back! Walking With Dinosaurs is a live, theatrical show where science and animatronics meet imagination as 15 snarling, growling, life-sized dinosaurs roam the arena. Putting your kids face-to-face with a Stegosaursus, T. Rex and a Utah Raptor is not as scary as it sounds, though we don’t recommend the show for kids under six. To get your kids dinosaur-ready, we review Land Before Time for little ones this week. If your bigger kids are stalwart, there’s nothing like Jurassic Park or the show upon which this traveling stage show is based, the BBC’s Walking With Dinosaurs. (Click here for a subscriber discount to the show, which is only in Los Angeles for THREE DAYS — September 25 through 28, and for details on the new Dinosaur Encounters show at the Natural History Museum for younger dino-fans)

Ohio Poll shows John McCain leads Barack Obama slightly in battleground state

As it was in 2004, Ohio with its trove of 20 electoral votes once again could prove to be a key to the outcome of the presidential race.

Oklahoma bar association

A University of Cincinnati poll shows John McCain leading Barack Obama 48%-44%. However, nearly a fourth of Ohio’s voters say they have not completely decided how they will vote.

Eric W. Rademacher, co-director of the Ohio Poll, noted that more Democrats than Republicans currently say they intend to cross party lines by voting for McCain. The poll shows that 11% of Democratic likely voters plan to vote for McCain, while 5% of likely Republican voters intend to vote for Obama.

“You cannot treat these choices as final vote choices,” Rademacher said, noting that many Democrats and Republicans who say they are considering crossing party lines typically will return to their nominee.

The poll of 775 likely voters was conducted from Sept. 5 to Sept.10, after both the Democratic and Republican conventions. There was a margin of sampling error of 3.5%

The poll, conducted after McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, shows men were siding with McCain, 51%-41%, while women were narrowly backing Obama, 47%-45%.

Rademacher said Palin’s selection is causing women to take a second look at McCain, but that it’s too early to tell whether she’ll draw female voters to the Republican ticket.

Voters ages 18-29 overwhelmingly backed Obama, 60%-33%. Voters 65 and older sided with McCain, 49%-40%.

In an Ohio Poll conducted in September four years ago, President Bush led John Kerry 54%-43%. Bush ended up winning the state by less than 120,000 votes out of 5.6 million cast.

Rating the Prospects: The NL Central

Prospect rating season is just about upon us with the Minor League Baseball season now over. Over the next few weeks, with your help, I am going to narrow down some of the better prospects in each team’s system with the final goal of identifying the Top 15 prospects in each organization’s stable. Feel free to recommend players I have overlooked or simply missed. There are three divisions remaining: the NL Central (which I’ll look at today), the AL West and the NL East.

After that, the next few weeks will be devoted to ranking those prospects that people helped choose in the comments section of the articles. Things to consider when choosing the prospects are 1) tools, 2) statistics, 3) history, and 4) level of competition/age. The players also must still be rookie eligible, which means pitchers cannot have exceed 50 big league innings and hitters cannot have exceeded 130 at-bats at the MLB level.

Bat - Wikipedia

Feel free to also comment on who you think is the best prospect in the division, as well as which team has the best minor league system. The players listed below are in no particular order and these are just working/brainstorming lists.

Chicago Cubs The Pitchers: Jeff Samardzija (Majors, right-hander), Jose Ceda (Double-A, right-hander), Don Veal (Double-A, left-hander), Chris Huseby (Rookie, right-hander), Larry Suarez (Rookie, right-hander), James Russell (Double-A, left-hander), Alex Maestri (Double-A, right-hander), Andrew Cashner (2008 first round pick, right-hander), Mitch Atkins (Triple-A, right-hander), Marco Carrillo (Double-A, right-hander), Dae-Eun Rhee (A-ball, right-hander), Hung-Wen Chen, (High-A, right-hander)

San Diego Zoo’s Animal Bytes: Bat
Get accurate information in an easy-to-read style about bat species from the San … Bats are incredibly beneficial to the world’s ecosystems, and thus to people. …

The Hitters: Josh Vitters (Short season, third baseman), Tyler Colvin (Double-A, outfielder), Tony Thomas (High-A, second baseman), Welington Castillo (Triple-A, catcher), Ryan Flaherty (Short season, shortstop), Steve Clevenger (High-A, catcher), James Adduci (High-A, outfielder)

Comments: OK, so who did I overlook? The Cubs have a number of raw, young pitchers coming into the picture, but not a ton of depth in the upper minors. Mitch Atkins has been a nice surprise but his potential does not quite match up with his 2008 numbers. Tyler Colvin has been a bit of a disappointment after his lack of patience caught up with him at Double-A, as many thought it would.

Cincinnati Reds The Pitchers: Josh Roenicke (Triple-A, right-hander), Matt Maloney (Triple-A, left-hander), Kyle Lotzkar (A-ball, right-hander), Pedro Viola (Double-A, left-hander), Sean Watson (Double-A, right-hander), Carlos Fisher (Triple-A, right-hander), Travis Wood (Double-A, left-hander), Daniel Herrera (Triple-A, left-hander), Ben Jukich (Triple-A, left-hander), Daryl Thompson (Triple-A, right-hander), Sam Leclure (Double-A, right-hander), Dallas Buck (High-A, right-hander), Scott Carroll (High-A, right-hander), Zach Stewart (High-A, right-hander), Alexander Smit (High-A, left-hander), Enerio Del Rosario (A-ball, right-hander)

The Hitters: Drew Stubbs (Triple-A, outfielder), Devin Mesoraco (A-ball, catcher), Todd Frazier (High-A, shortstop), Juan Francisco (High-A, third baseman), Chris Valaika (Double-A, shortstop), Justin Turner (Double-A, second baseman), Neftali Soto (A-ball, third baseman), Craig Tatum (Triple-A, catcher), Zack Cozart (A-ball, shortstop), Paul Janish (Triple-A, shortstop), Adam Rosales (Triple-A, infielder), Brandon Waring (A-ball, third baseman), Daniel Dorn (Double-A, outfielder), Yonder Alonso (2008 first round pick, first baseman), Shaun Cumberland (Triple-A, outfielder), Chris Heisey (Double-A, outfielder), Wilkin Castillo (Majors, catcher)

Comments: OK, so who did I overlook? The Reds organization has a lot of depth, even with the graduation of Homer Bailey, Johnny Cueto, Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, etc. Right-hander Scott Carroll, though, was just nabbed for allegedly using illegal substances so he will sit out the first 50 games of next season. The organization is stacked with infield talent, with a wave of players being ready in mid to late 2009, including Chris Valaika, Justin Turner, Juan Francisco, Todd Frazier, and even 2008 first round pick Yonder Alonso.
