“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
“I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate,” Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. “And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.”

Shabby and rundown, Kabul Zoo is a far cry from zoos in the developed world, but has nevertheless come a long way since it suffered on the front line of Afghanistan's 1992-4 civil war.
Mujaheddin fighters then ate the deer and rabbits and shot dead the zoo's sole elephant. Shells shattered the aquarium.
One fighter climbed into the lion enclosure but was immediately killed by Marjan, the zoo's most famous inhabitant. The man's brother returned the next day and lobbed a hand grenade at the lion leaving him toothless and blind.
Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips out of Reds' lineup with flu
CINCINNATI — The flu is going through the Cincinnati Reds' clubhouse, forcing them to scratch first baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips from their already-depleted lineup for Thursday night's game against Milwaukee. Votto, who is the team's top hitter, was scratched during batting practice when he began to have flu symptoms. A little while later, the Reds had to reconfigure their lineup again because Phillips became sick.

Hairston is just now getting back into action with the Reds after a nasty bout with influenza knocked him off his feet while he was with Team Mexico for the World Baseball Classic. Needless to say, Hairston did not get a flu shot this year. It's not a mistake he'll make twice.
"The doctor said, 'Now you know why people get flu shots,'" Hairston said. "I'll be the first in line to get one [next year]."
Hairston didn't get out of bed for a week, staying in Arizona while Mexico played in the second round of the tournament in San Diego. Hairston played in the first game of that round, but he came out before its completion, and that was it for him. He lost more than 10 pounds in the process, dropping from his usual 193-195 pounds. He's at about 184 pounds now, the lightest he's been
