Special Travel Benefit for Saudis a "Slap in the Face"
IPT News
March 20, 2013
Saudi Arabia, the nation which produced 15 of the 19 hijackers in the 9/11 attacks, is about to become one of a handful of countries whose travelers can bypass normal passport controls at major U.S. airports. Sources tell the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) that this will mark the first time that the Saudi government will have a direct role in vetting who is eligible for getting fast-tracked for entry into the United States.
An agreement to accept Saudi Arabian applicants into the Global Entry trusted traveler program drew little notice when it was announced in January. Now, some officials question why the country merits such a benefit – which is similar to a theme park "fast pass" to avoid long lines – when other allies like Germany and France are not yet included. A program for Israeli travelers was reached last May but has not been implemented.
Travelers approved for the program can skip the normal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) lines starting next year and enter the country after providing their passports and fingerprints at a kiosk. Only Canada, Mexico, South Korea and the Netherlands currently enjoy the benefit, although pilot programs could expand it to a handful of others.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the agreement in January after meeting with Saudi Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef. It "marks another major step forward in our partnership," Napolitano said at the time. "By enhancing collaboration with the Government of Saudi Arabia, we reaffirm our commitment to more effectively secure our two countries against evolving threats while facilitating legitimate trade and travel."
Details about how the plan will work with the Saudis have not been released. Nayef's ministry, however, will be responsible for screening which applicants will be considered when the pilot program begins next year. It's not known whether the Saudi ministry will share its raw intelligence about applicants with its American counterparts. What is known, based on information provided by a Homeland Security source, is that each individual who makes it into the program will have been vetted by both the CBP and by the Saudi Interior Ministry against various databases.
The Department of Homeland Security declined to make anyone available to answer questions about Saudi Arabia's inclusion in the Global Entry program after repeated requests throughout last week, and after indicating someone would provide more details.
That is cause for concern, given lingering questions about possible Saudi support for some of the 9/11 hijackers and given the Ministry of Interior (MOI)'s inconsistent record on sharing its intelligence on suspected terrorists and terror financiers. Additionally, recent studies by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified significant problems in the way DHS components use computer systems and process intelligence for posting watch list lookouts and overseas screening of foreign nationals.
Once accepted into Global Entry, travelers can enjoy the faster border entry for five years.
A memo obtained by the Investigative Project on Terrorism said Saudi applicants "must meet the individual vetting criteria of both CBP and the MOI, and successfully complete vetting by each side against information available in various law enforcement, customs, immigration, criminal, intelligence, and terrorist databases."
That doesn't bring confidence to those who have investigated Saudi Arabian connections to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., whose district lost more than 70 people during the attack on the Pentagon, called the pact a bad idea. He also stated that he had not previously heard about the deal.
"I think you have radical Wahhabism in certain elements in Saudi Arabia, and I think to be more lenient there than in other places would be a mistake," Wolf said. "There were 15 [hijackers] from that country, and there is a lot taking place in that region.
"Some of the people who went back to Saudi Arabia through Guantanamo – we find that they are in battlefields in Afghanistan or some other place, so I don't think it's a good idea."
Saudis have long been known for withholding information from their American counterparts. Wolf recalls that the Saudis obstructed former FBI Director Louis Freeh's effort to investigate the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing by refusing to share information.
"I think there has been a history of not cooperating," Wolf said.
The Saudis paved the way for 9/11 by funding the madrassas along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which adds to Wolf's concern.
Unseen Information, Unanswered Questions
"Adding KSA to the program before a full vetting of the Kingdom's involvement in 9/11 is very unwise," said Sharon Premoli, a 9/11 survivor who has sued the Saudis for allegedly helping finance the attacks.
"We don't know if what they tell us is correct. Why should we trust them?" she said in an interview Thursday. She points to a 1998 agreement Saudi Arabia struck with bin Laden and the Taliban prior to 9/11. A 2011 Vanity Fair article described it this way:
In sworn statements after 9/11, former Taliban intelligence chief Mohammed Khaksar said that in 1998 Prince Turki, chief of Saudi Arabia's General Intelligence Department (G.I.D.), sealed a deal under which bin Laden agreed not to attack Saudi targets. In return, Saudi Arabia would provide funds and material assistance to the Taliban, not demand bin Laden's extradition, and not bring pressure to close down al-Qaeda training camps. Saudi businesses, meanwhile, would ensure that money also flowed directly to bin Laden.
"They didn't tell us that," Premoli said in the interview. "They haven't been forthcoming on anything."
Saudi officials deny that deal existed. The only way to find out is to continue investigating, Premoli said. She's perplexed that the brutal murder of 3,000 Americans even requires an effort to trigger additional investigation.
"Let's vet them properly. Let's really declassify. Let's look at all of it. Until it is done, it's an open wound. It's an unanswered question."
The Global Entry deal comes three years after U.S. officials briefly placed Saudi Arabia on a list of 14 countries whose travelers would face enhanced scrutiny when entering the United States. It followed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's failed attempt to bomb a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day 2009.
A cable sent from the American embassy to the State Department that was published by Wikileaks reported that Saudi government officials expressed "shock to be included on the list" and threatened to "to re-evaluate areas of cooperation, including counter-terrorism cooperation" if it was not rescinded.
The policy was dropped three months later, replaced with a new program designed to use threat assessments and intelligence of traveler's behavioral traits and travel patterns.
To Premoli, who is pushing legislation to strip sovereign immunity protection from governments tied to terrorist acts, both the removal of Saudi Arabia from that list and its addition to Global Entry show the country enjoys "favored nation status. It's so extraordinary that they are so protected."
She was critical of the Bush administration for its warm relations with the Saudi royal family and is equally critical of the Obama administration for being "a continuation of the Bush administration." When the plaintiffs suing Saudi Arabia sought to appeal a decision absolving the Saudis to the Supreme Court, then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan filed an amicus brief siding with the Saudis.
Saudi Arabian officials say all the investigations into the 9/11 attacks exonerated them of any involvement. But two former U.S. senators who led inquiries into the attacks say that's just not so.
In affidavits submitted last year for plaintiffs suing the Saudis – including Premoli – former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey and former Florida Sen. Bob Graham wrote that the book on Saudi Arabia's 9/11 connections should not be closed.
The 9/11 Commission on which he served lacked the time and resources "to pursue all potentially relevant evidence" involving Saudi Arabia, Kerrey wrote.
"Significant questions remain unanswered concerning the possible involvement of Saudi government institutions and actors in the financing and sponsorship of al Qaeda, and evidence relating to the plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th Attacks has never been fully pursued," Kerrey wrote.
Graham, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time of the attacks, was co-chairman of a joint congressional inquiry. He has spent years arguing that a 28-page chapter from that inquiry would cast things in a different light if it ever is declassified.
"Based on my experiences as the Co-Chair of the Joint Inquiry, and the evidence collected by the Joint Inquiry during the course of its investigation into the events of September 11, 2001, the information contained in the Final Report of the 9/11 Commission, and reports and published material I have reviewed, I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia," Graham wrote in his affidavit.
Hijackers and Their Helpers
That line may have come in the form of Omar al Bayoumi, a Saudi who befriended hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Midhar. While the 9/11 Commission Report describes Bayoumi as "an unlikely candidate for clandestine involvement with Islamist extremists," Graham believes he was a Saudi government agent.
Al-Bayoumi first met the hijackers in 2000, helped them find an apartment and "fronted the initial payments for that apartment" along with other financial help, Graham noted.
"During the period that he assisted the hijackers, al-Bayoumi's allowances from a ghost job with a Saudi private firm and contractor with ties to the Saudi government increased eightfold. During that same period, Al-Bayoumi had an unusual number of telephone conversations with Saudi government officials in both Los Angeles and Washington."
All this convinces him al-Bayoumi was a Saudi agent. "To this date, this evidence has not been fully explored and pursued, to the considerable detriment of the American public."
In a column co-written with Premoli last fall, Graham said the classified chapter from the congressional inquiry focuses on the hijacker's financial support while they were in the United States. "Sadly," Graham and Premoli wrote, "those 28 pages represent only a fraction of the evidence of Saudi complicity that our government continues to shield from the public, under a flawed classification program which appears to be part of a systematic effort to protect Saudi Arabia from any real accountability for its actions."
Abdulaziz al-Hijji, an executive with the Saudi government oil company Aramco, lived in Sarasota until just before the 9/11 attacks when he is reported to have suddenly left the U.S. Al-Hijji now lives in London. Recent media reports indicate al-Hijji met with 9/11 terror leader Mohamed Atta and current al-Qaida fugitive Adnan el-Shukrijumah while he lived in Sarasota. Graham has also looked into the al-Hijji matter and reportedly met with the FBI deputy director in November of 2011 and the deputy director refused to discuss the al-Hijji matter. Graham said, "I think that in the period immediately after 9/11 the FBI was under instructions from the Bush White House not to discuss anything that could be embarrassing to the Saudis."
Saudi Arabia sends thousands of travelers into the United States each month, and more than 92 percent of Saudis who seek entry visas receive them, Asharq al-Awsat reported. In 2012, 20,677 student visas were granted to Saudi citizens.
The United States and Saudi Arabia do about $60 billion in business each year, most of which is Saudi oil exports.
The ambiguity of Saudi Ministry of Interior's role is of particular concern, especially when it comes to who qualifies as a "low-risk traveler." Although individuals with defined al-Qaida ties likely would not get a pass, worries arise particularly when it comes to those who support Hamas or Hizballah.
"I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them," Jim Phillips, senior research fellow for Middle Eastern affairs at the Heritage Foundation, said regarding the Saudi Interior Ministry.
Although the Saudi Interior Ministry has largely decimated al-Qaida's infrastructure in the kingdom since 2003 in the wake of a series of bombings and killings of Westerners in the kingdom, Phillips says the ministry's reliability as a partner remains an open question.
In an interview Tuesday, Graham reserved judgment on the program until more details are released on its implementation. He noted that the United States "went out of its way to placate the Saudis" after 9/11, arranging flights out of the country for Saudi nationals when all other air traffic was grounded, and waging "an effort to keep from public view the role of Saudis" in the 9/11 attacks.
Including Saudi travelers in Global Entry may be "a continuation" of an American policy of deference toward Saudi Arabia. "The question is what was the first step in approving a country to be involved in this? What are the requirements?" Graham asked. "This is not a theoretical. This really happened that 15 Saudis came into the country, I think all by aviation … It would seem there would be some red flags."
Wolf suggested that the House Homeland Security Committee should examine the terms of the agreement to learn how it happened and it will work.
"It's a slap in the face," Premoli said. "Whatever they ask for, they get. There's nothing they can't have."

Your article indicates the lack of your education, and you shouldn't have been allowed to publish this ridiculous article. The Saudis deserve this pass for many reasons. First, it is the most petrol supportive to your country, the United States. So, it is a valuable economic supporter to the United States. Also, responding to the fact that Saudi Arabia produced the 15 attackers of 9/11, Saudi Arabia neither produced that, nor adopted that. But, in reality, it considered those attackers as terrorists before the United States did, and it did warn the united states about that. The funny thing is that American people were considering them as innocent. After that all, why don't we, as Saudis, deserve to get this pass ? What did we do to be punished ? what was our fault ?

Most of the hijakers on 911 were Saudis!
Considering the ties between the Bush family and Bin Laden Construction, as well as Bandar Bush, even allowing members of the Bin Laden family to fly out right after 911 when all planes were grounded, THIS DOES NOT COME AS ANY SURPRISE!

What kind of crap reporting is this? The picture shows a TICKET COUNTER line and implies that any one in this program bypasses security. The problem is that this program is for ARRIVALS. Everyone has to go through security. If you are a member of this program, you STILL go through security screening when you depart your country. To become a member, you have to have a background check and then you are able to enter a member country by scanning your fingerprints and your passport card. Then you may bypass the customs lines in member countries. This is not unlike the program the EU has, but in the EU, there is no background check, no application process, and no fingerprinting. Are you really that desperate for readers that you have to resort to making up facts?

Did you know that there is a "best" month to buy certain products? Have you ever wondered if the products you are buying are at their rock bottom price?
Every product has a "seasonal sale," and when grocery stores mark these items at their lowest price, this is the time to stock up! But how do you know when these items are at their lowest?
Welcome to the newest monthly roundup of seasonal sale items! With this monthly list, you will know which products are best to buy this month, and to possibly stock up on. For example, barbeque sauce is at it's lowest price in the summer months, so May through July is the best time to buy and stock up on it.
March Deals
Here is a list of items that you should be able to see big discounts on during the month of March:
- Cleaning Supplies: Cloths, Gloves, etc.

- Frozen Meat
- Frozen Pizza
- Frozen Ready-Made Meals
- Frozen Vegetables
- Garbage Bags

Canada's forward Christine Sinclair (L) and South Africa's defender Amanda Sister compete during the London 2012 Olympic women's football match between Canada and South Africa on July 28, 2012 at The City of Coventry Stadium in Coventry, central England. AFP PHOTO / PAUL ELLIS
LONDON: Becky Hammon scored 14 points, including eight down the stretch, as Russia rallied from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter Saturday to beat Canada 58-53 on the opening day of women's basketball at the Olympics.
Trailing 50-40 with 6 minutes left, Russia closed the game with an 18-3 run led by Hammon. Anna Petrakova hit a 3-pointer and a lay-in to get the spurt started. Then the South Dakota native who plays for the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars, took over. Hammon's lay-in with 2:35 left tied the game at 50.
Her basket 30 seconds later gave Russia its first lead since early in the opening quarter. Hammon then scored another lay-in that made it 54-51 with 1:06 left.
Canada couldn't make another basket the rest of the way.
Kim Smith scored 20 points to lead Canada, which returned to the Olympics for the first time in 12 years after earning the final spot in women's field.
Hammon is playing in her second Olympics for Russia. She became a Russian naturalized citizen before the Beijing Games. Because she hadn't played for the United States in any major FIBA-sanctioned international events, she is allowed to compete for Russia in the Olympics.
She helped Russia earn the bronze medal in 2008.
Canada qualified for the Olympics for the first time since 2000 after finishing fifth in the pre-Olympic qualifier earlier this month.
Canada's roster is full of former and current U.S. college players. Courtney Pilypaitis starred for Vermont while Lizanne Murphy played at Hofstra. Natalie Achonwa has played in the last two Final Fours for Notre Dame.
Russia is missing star center Maria Stepanova. The 6-foot-8 star, who has played in the last four Olympics, tore her anterior cruciate ligament at the Euroleague final eight in late March.

Written by Right Side News
"Our Founders intended the Senate to be a body where legislation was slowed down and subject to improvement through extended debate and amendment. [Harry] Reid's proposed 'reforms' would remove two of the most fundamental rights traditionally reserved to all Senators -- to freely debate and amend legislation. I shall not stand for that." -- Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)
On Election Day last November, several Democrat Senators were campaigning for reelection in pro-gun states. And in order to get their constituents' votes, they promised fealty to the Second Amendment.
On November 6, Democrat Senators Joe Manchin (WV), Bob Casey (PA) and Jon Tester (MT) all won their respective elections. These seats, among others, were crucial to helping Harry Reid return to the top post in the Senate.
But only a month after the election returns were tallied, the Senate -- under Majority Leader Harry Reid's control -- is now crusading to implement:
This last proposal is particularly insidious. Gun grabbers are not going to be able to get 60 votes to break a Senate filibuster of gun control. But, with the help of fake "pro-gun" Senate Democrats, they may be able to get 50.
So the question of whether Senate Democrats will need 50 votes or 60 votes will determine whether gun control -– and much of Obama's agenda -– will be slammed through and passed into law.
This brings us to the "nuclear option."
This is a trick which anti-gun Democrats intend to use the first day of the Senate session in order to obliterate the Senate rules and clear the way for 50-vote passage of gun control.
Your senator's vote on the "nuclear option" may be the most important gun-related vote he casts during the 113th Congress. It may be the difference between whether Obama can secure Senate passage of gun bans, magazine bans, gun show bans, and bans on private gun sales.
Anti-gun Democrats will try to tell you that the Senate is just following its precedents.
But that's a bald-faced lie. As Democrats made clear during the Bush administration when the Republicans were contemplating the "nuclear option," the nuclear option has been threatened, but the trigger has never been pulled.
Anti-gun Democrats will try to tell you that the "nuclear option" can only be invoked on the first day.
That's a lie. Senate Rule 5, Paragraph 2, provides that the Senate rules continue from one Congress to the next, unless changed by 67 votes (needed to break a filibuster of rules changes). If the Senate can use brute force to obliterate Rule 5 by 50 votes, it can use brute force to obliterate any rule at any time by 50 votes.
This is a major vote that will have huge ramifications for our republic. Our gun rights are just one of the many freedoms that are on the chopping block right now. And if Harry Reid can squelch his opposition by nuking the filibuster, it will be the first step towards completely obliterating our Constitution.
ACTION: Click here to contact your Senators and tell them that the vote on the "nuclear option" will be the most important gun control vote of the 113th Congress. Urge them to vote AGAINST changing the Senate rules. Tell them to vote AGAINST the "nuclear option."
You may also phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) is a non-profit lobbying organization formed in 1975 to preserve and defend the Second Amendment rights of gun owners. GOA sees firearms ownership as a freedom issue.

The 2014 NFL Draft is still a couple of months away, but the rating and ranking of many of the prospects who will make up this years draft is under way in earnest this weekend at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.
The big 12 may not be as deep this year in the top rounds of the NFL Draft as it has been in the recent past, but there are some quality players from the league who will be among the 225 or so prospects taken in the seven rounds of the 2014 draft.
It may be some time before we see as many as nine players from Big 12 schools taken in the first round of the NFL Draft like there were in 2010, led by Oklahoma's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford. Big 12 players were taken with the first, second, third and fourth and sixth picks in the first round of that year's draft, an unprecedented five of the first six selections. And three of those first four players were from Oklahoma (No. 1 Bradford, No. 3 Gerald McCoy and No. 4 Trent Williams). the Sooners also had one more player taken in the first round: tight end Jermaine Gresham was selected as 21 player taken overall.
It won't be as few as one, either, which was the case in the year 2000, when Stocker McDouble was the only Big 12 player selected in the first round, going to Detroit with the 2oth overall pick.
There are a number of 2014 mock drafts that are starting to circulate as the countdown begins before actual draft weekend, May 8-10. USA Today's Sports Weekly has three Big 12 players among the top 32 prospects in this spring's NFL Draft: cornerback and kick-returner Justin Gilbert of Oklahoma State, who the USA Today sports staff currently has as No. 16 overall, cornerback Jason Verrett of TCU (No. 24) and Texas Tech tight-end Jace Amaro (No. 28).
The three top-32 prospects from the Big 12 compares with nine from SEC schools. Both Texas A&M and Notre Dame have three players each on this list.
Broken down by positions, Trey Millard of Oklahoma is ranked as the fifth-best running back prospect. Three Big 12 players are ranked among the top-20 wide receivers: Mike Davis of Texas (No. 16), Jalen Saunders of Oklahoma (No. 19) and Baylor's Tevin Reese (No. 20).
Baylor tight end Jordan Najvar is listed as the No. 9 player at that position, and teammate Cyril Richardson as No. 2 at guard.
Calvin Barnett of Oklahoma State is ranked as the No. 11 prospect at defensive tackle. Jackson Jeffcoat of Texas is the 10th-best player at defensive end. Oklahoma's Aaron Colvin is the No. 10 prospect at cornerback, where he joins both OSU's Gilbert and TCU's Verrett.
Ahmad Dixon, a safety from Baylor, is rated as the No. 7 player available in the draft at that position.
USA Today Sports Weekly lists no Big 12 players in the top 10 at quarterback, offensive tackle or inside and outside linebacker.

A Free Syrian Army fighter takes cover during clashes with the Syrian army in Salaheddine, Aleppo.
DAMASCUS/ANKARA: President Bashar Assad vowed Tuesday to crush the 17-month rebellion against his regime and to cleanse Syria of "terrorists," as his troops engaged rebels in key battleground city of Aleppo.
"The Syrian people and their government are determined to purge the country of terrorists and to fight the terrorists without respite," he was quoted by state news agency SANA as telling visiting senior Iranian envoy Saeed Jalili.
Assad had earlier appeared on television for the first time in more than two weeks in a meeting with Jalili, a top aide to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Jalili offered Assad his country's backing, saying Tehran would "never allow the resistance axis – of which Syria is an essential pillar – to break.
"What is happening in Syria is not an internal issue but a conflict between the axis of resistance on the one hand, and the regional and global enemies of this axis on the other," he added.
Iran has accused Turkey and Gulf Arab countries of arming the Syrian opposition in collusion with the United States and Israel, to overthrow the Assad regime.
Jalili was previously quoted as saying "the crisis in Syria must be solved internally, through national dialogue, and not through the intervention of external forces."
He added: "The Syrian people are hostile to any plan supported by the Zionists and the U.S."
Later, Jalili called for an end to "all foreign intervention" in Syria, adding that Tehran rejects "any party imposing its will through military intervention."
Assad said his country was "able to defeat foreign plans targeting the resistance axis and Syria's role in it."
Tehran also sent its foreign minister to Ankara and a letter to Washington, holding it responsible for the fate of 48 kidnapped Iranians.
Tehran says they are Shiite pilgrims, while their rebel captors insist they are members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi headed to Turkey to demand Ankara's assistance in securing the release of the Iranian hostages amid growing concern for their fate.
Salehi later said "Turkey has links with the opposition in Syria, so we think Turkey can play major role in freeing our pilgrims."
Iran had earlier accused the Free Syrian Army, which has claimed the abduction, of receiving Turkish support and said Salehi would "warn and remind the Ankara government of its responsibilities in this matter."
The once close ties between two of the Middle East's non-Arab powers have been ravaged by events in Syria.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan called comments by Iran's top general Hassan Firouzabadi this week blaming Turkey for the bloodshed in Syria "regrettable" and denied his country has meddled in Syrian affairs.
"The statement by Iran's chief of general staff on a website belonging to the Revolutionary Guards that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are responsible for the bloody developments in Syria is worrying and regrettable," Erdogan told members of his party in comments broadcast live by NTV television.
Tehran delivered a message about the hostages to Washington in a letter transmitted through the U.S. interests section of the Swiss Embassy.
"Because of the United States' manifest support of terrorist groups and the dispatch of weapons to Syria, the United States is responsible for the lives of the 48 Iranian pilgrims abducted in Damascus," Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian quoted the letter as saying.
Washington said Tuesday it had no knowledge of the whereabouts of the kidnapped Iranians.
"At this point, we're still following the reports closely and monitoring the situation. We cannot confirm the identity of those reportedly kidnapped," State Department acting deputy spokesman Patrick Ventrell said.
"We don't have ... information about who these people are [or] where they are," he told journalists, amid reports from Syria that three of the hostages had been killed in fierce shelling by the Syrian army in Damascus.
Iran's foreign minister also asked U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for his help in efforts to free dozens of Iranian pilgrims and aid workers captured recently in Syria and Libya.
"I would like to seek the cooperation and the good offices of Your Excellency for securing the release of these hostages," Salehi wrote to Ban in a letter that Iran's U.N. mission provided to Reuters.
"The kind cooperation of the relevant United Nations offices in responding to this request of [Iran's] government and the families of the hostages will be highly appreciated," Salehi said.
A U.N. spokesman confirmed receipt of the letter but did not have an immediate response.
"The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran calls for the immediate release of its abducted nationals and is of the view that using the hostages as human shields violates international law and the human rights of these innocent civilians," Salehi said.
In other developments, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned against "proxies or terrorist fighters" being sent in to join the conflict.
"We have to set very clear expectations about avoiding sectarian warfare," Clinton said during a news conference in Pretoria, South Africa.
"Those who are attempting to exploit the situation by sending in proxies or terrorist fighters must realize that will not be tolerated, first and foremost by the Syrian people," she added. She did not elaborate on "proxies or terrorist fighters."
Clinton said the opposition gains, combined with the fracturing of some of Assad's support, made it imperative for the world to step up work on planning for a post-Assad Syria.
"We can begin talking about and planning for what happens next – the day after the regime does fall. I'm not going to put a timeline on it, I can't possibly predict it, but I know it's going to happen," Clinton said. "We have to make very sure that state institutions stay intact." Clinton said she intended to discuss the challenges facing Syria when she flies to Turkey for talks Saturday.
In Aleppo, clashes rocked several central areas of the city while the army also shelled rebel-held areas in the east, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The fighting in and around Aleppo killed at least 20 people, the watchdog said, adding that the nationwide toll was 122.
Aleppo has been bracing for a major ground offensive after a senior security official said the army had completed a buildup of some 20,000 troops. Near Homs in central Syria, opposition gunmen attacked an electricity company housing compound, killing 16 people, including Alawites, Christians and Sunnis, the Observatory said. Rebels attacked an oil field in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor, triggering clashes in which four rebels and six soldiers were killed, it added.
Pro-opposition websites claimed that rebel fighters were engaged in fierce clashes with regime troops in several areas of eastern Syria, as well as in the governorate of Deraa in the south.
Al-Arabiya television said rebels claimed they had assassinated a Russian general who was advising the Syrian military, along with his translator.

FUNDING for community and Indigenous broadcasters seems always to be at least a year out of sync with wider policy changes. Back in mid-April, when Melbourne's community radio stations launched their new digital stations in Fed Square, everyone seemed to be putting on a brave face. During the first hour, the usual camaraderie that occurs when community broadcasters get together was bolstered by a simultaneous live broadcast of the event across all stations. The conversation that took place in the second hour was more along the lines of "now what?"
The federal government had provided funding in the 2009–10 budget for digital radio transmission infrastructure but nothing for programming. Stations were concerned that without additional funding they would have no choice but to simulcast their analogue signals instead of using the digital channels for new programming and the development of multi-platform content. Luckily, the 2011–12 budget includes a commitment of $12.5 million over four years, specifically for digital radio programming. Metropolitan community radio stations will be relieved.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous Broadcasting Program has finally been returned to the Communications portfolio after a frustrating spell in Arts. But the situation for Indigenous broadcasters is still unclear, despite a major review of the sector late last year. The budget delivers NITV yet another lifeline to help it get organised ($15.2 million), with the likelihood of a major restructure. But that leaves only an additional $1 million for the rest of the Indigenous Broadcasting Program. The most likely scenario is that this will be split among stations in five capital cities, twenty-two regional centres and an extensive remote media network.
It seems that the very detailed and encouraging review (conducted by Neville Stevens) has not yet resulted in any real changes for the non-metropolitan Indigenous broadcasting sector. To quote Indigenous poet Ali Cobby Eckermann, another year of waiting is getting to be "a little bit long time." •

Momma is a sorrel homozygous tobiano, daddy is solid blue roan.
This is the third time being bred together, and each time(except this one) they have thrown blue roan tobianos.
Im pretty sure he will roan out, but seeing is how he was born bay unlike the previous foals who were born black, im not sure if he will turn black or not. But there are things that make me think he may shed out to be a blue baby. If you lift the hair on his neck and head, under the bay color is black and in the pics you can see the black coming through, or am I just wishful thinking? And if you lift the hair on his flanks, its silver underneath.
What does everyone think? Will he stay bay? Or shed out blue?

WHY do some spiders add an extra zigzag or diagonal of silk to their finished webs? This question has baffled arachnologists for 100 years, but now a Taiwanese biologist has come up with an answer. Its job, he says, is to make the web more attractive to prey.
Biologists are certain about one thing: that these ribbon-like structures of silk, known as stabilimenta, are not ornamental. Among the suggested functions for them are reinforcement for the web, protection from predators, or an advertisement for the web's presence. It has also been suggested that they increase the web's ability to reflect ultraviolet light, making it more attractive to the flying insects that orient themselves towards UV. Although this last theory had some support, no one had been able to prove that webs with stabilimenta caught more prey.
Now, by comparing the rates at which decorated and undecorated webs intercept insects, I-Min ...

It hasn't been quite a decade since I picked up my first Chicago record, but they're owed a spot on the blog. Here I share why there's a special place in my heart for Chicago.
Previously I've written a short series of decade-long musical obsessions, starting with Jamiroquai, Radiohead and Black Flag. I can follow chapters of my life by those musicians, some of which have become part of a circle, re-entering my life in new and different ways.
Chicago is one of them.
My initial interest in Chicago is probably due to my parents. I've got to hand it to my mom for listening to music by James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carole King, and Helen Ready (who we'll be seeing in NYC this March). Chicago wasn't one of the primary artists she listened to, but it was frequented on the radio stations and I was easily drawn in.
Chicago is a favorite of mine for obvious reasons – the brass and full-band sound is important to me. Even though I grew up learning to play piano and later flute in the school's concert band, it wasn't until I was in college that I realized how much this resonated with me. And that's because of Bek.
Bek brought her record player when we moved in to Hines Hall together. She inherited her music sense from her father Les, and also some of his records. While Bek was more interested in Genesis and Joan of Arc, we both learned from each other and Chicago was this middle ground that we knew well and enjoyed.
It wasn't until about 2-3 years ago that I really started to backtrack to these musical milestones that were essential parts of my life, and I owe that to services like Spotify and Pandora. I used to purchase, download and store gigs and gigs of music to harddrives that just kept crashing and failing. Sometime I'll tell you about when I broke down and hyperventilated over an external harddrive. Really. But now that music is more accessible, I've picked back up on things I don't have copies of anymore, like jazz music and all of these other obsessions that are coming back into my life.
We also have a record player now. When I visited the library book sale last month I purchased a handful of records for 50 cents:
- Chicago IX – Chicago's Greatest Hits, 1975
- Sounds of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel, 1966
- From Here to Eternity – Giorgio Moroder, 1977
- Tapestry – Carole King, 1971
- Business as Usual – Men at Work, 1981
- Golden Hits Part One – Dionne Warwick, 1967
- Original Cast Record – Sesame Street, 1970
On a random trip to Indy CD & Vinyl to catch a local performer, I found their "budget vinyl" section with various artists priced from 50 cents to a few bucks. I'm heading back this weekend to check out the jazz section. Vinyl just sounds so good…
So anyway, that's how I feel about Chicago. I think I'm going through a nostalgic phase, and it feels good to share this with others in hopes that you're inspired to pull out that long-lost record and sing the lyrics that never were never really lost in the first place.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU football's bowl win by the numbers
Todd Graham and the ASU football team capped off an eight-win season Saturday in San Francisco with a 62-28 dismantling of Navy in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. And what better way to say goodbye to the 2012 season, than breaking down the Sun Devils' bowl win by the numbers.
2.5 - No one is for certain whether ASU's Will Sutton will return to school next year. But if Saturday's game was the last in the career of the 2012 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, he certainly made it count. Sutton recorded 2.5 sacks en route to the game's Defensive MVP honors.
5 - The number of touchdowns redshirt sophomore quarterback Taylor Kelly accounted for against the Midshipmen, tying a career-high he set back on October 11 against Colorado.
8 - The number of wins Todd Graham recorded in his first season at ASU, surpassing the number he won in his first year at Rice and Pittsburgh. Graham also became the first coach in school history to beat UA and a bowl game in his season in Tempe.
9 - ASU scored touchdowns on their first nine possession's of Saturday's contest. They also averaged more than nine yards per play vs. Navy.
25 - Todd Graham's disciplined ways were on display one last time Saturday. The Pac-12 leader in fewest penalty yards this season had only two infractions for 25 yards in the 34-point win.
28 - The Sun Devils gave up 28 points on Saturday, half of which came with the game out of reach. Coming into the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl, Navy had averaged more than 36 points per game.
33 - Until Saturday's win, it had been 33 seasons since ASU beat rival UA and won a bowl game in the same year.
57 - Junior tight end Chris Coyle passed Zach Miller on Saturday for the most receptions by an ASU tight end in a single season. He finished with 57 receptions and five touchdowns in 2012.
62 - The Sun Devils' scoring output in San Francisco wasn't just a season-high, but also a school record for most points in a bowl game and a Kraft Fight Hunger record for most points scored by one team.
159 - Less than a week after the tragic death of his brother, junior running back Marion Grice returned to the ASU football team with a bang. Grice ran for a season-high 159 yards en route to the bowl's Offensive MVP honors.
2005 - ASU did just about everything right Saturday, but most importantly Todd Graham and Co. left with the program's first bowl win since the 2005 Insight Bowl.
2007 - Todd Graham's eight wins in 2012 were mighty impressive considering the uncertainty going into the season. The last time a first-year ASU head coach recorded eight or more wins was Dennis Erickson (10) back in 2007.

Three down, twenty-seven more to go!
Yesterday morning I was finally able to complete race number 3. It was the Irish 5K in Pawtucket, RI; the first in the Tour de Patrick series. The race started at 11AM and my parents and I got there around 10:40. It was nice not having to wait too long outside since it was kind of chilly. In the sun the 25ish degrees didn't feel so bad, but the wind hurt a little bit.
The race had about 700 people running and the course is a great one. There's a hill at the beginning and it flattens out for the remainder. It was a slower run for me, but I felt consistent in my pace for the entire 5K. I wasn't dying by the end, so I know I didn't push myself all that much. With the frigid weather, I didn't want to risk it.
Time: 30:57
Pace: 9:57
Division: 99/264
Overall: 389/783
Organizing the Jogging Concierge
Over the weekend, I have been thinking of ways to make my blog more effective and get myself more involved as well. I have so much I want to write about, but without any set schedule or set pattern of posting, everything kind of falls to the wayside, and I go weeks without writing. But I am determined to come up with a schedule of writing on Sunday through Friday. Sunday will be a race recap day, and between Monday and Friday I'll write about restaurant reviews, product reviews, recipes, traveling and other fun topics. I'm going to go through my pictures and find some pictures that I haven't posted yet. I hope it helps me get back in to the blogging groove!
Do you post on a set schedule?

Poll: Who Should Katy Perry Date Next?
Now that the ink has dried on those divorce papers, Katy Perry is ready for her next "Teenage Dream." So who should the beautiful pop starlet date next? Here are our top 5 picks:
Jason Segel
Funny? Yes. Adorable? Absolutely. Jason Segel is that rare Hollywood gem who is at once a nerd and a ladies' man. Katy isn't afraid to let her freak flag fly (Hello, "Last Friday Night!"), so we can imagine these two would have a wonderfully goofy time together.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
First off: Who doesn't want to date 50/50 star Joseph Gordon-Levitt? After having been married to the acerbic showboat that is Russell Brand, Katy needs someone kinder and a bit more soft-spoken. The man can definitely sing, so how great would a duet between these two cuties be? Possibly even cuter than his duet with Manic Pixie Dream Girl, Zooey Deschanel.
John Francis Daley
Again, we must reference the nerd factor. Katy is so sweet, fun, and quirky — and so is Bones star John Francis Daley (Sweets). (Have you seen Horrible Bosses?) We can only imagine the wacky projects these two might (romantically) collaborate on.
Matthew Morrison
Glee star Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schue) is a delightful tonic to cure the bitterness that was Russell Brand. He's a genuine nice guy and kinda silly — but he's also got "Moves Like Jagger" and looks REALLY good without his shirt off!
Tim Tebow
Katy flirted with Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow over Super Bowl weekend, and even dedicated her performance of "Peacock" to Tim. Katy's parents are proponents of this relationship, and don't they always say "father knows best"?
So what do you think? Who is Katy's Purr-fect match?

Deep Hurting's Portfolio
I tried posting this on Thursday, August 2nd, but for some reason the thread had to be approved, and never was. I hope I can still be considered for the live portfolio reviews, with that in mind.
My name is Terrence Nowicki, Jr. While I spend a lot of my time drawing editorial cartoons (and have won a few national awards for my work in that field) I don't know if I can call myself a professional because I've never made a living at it. I earned a degree in New Media from Western Washington University, but I'm interested in going back to school and picking up training in a wider variety of fine-art media.
Career-wise, I want to draw narrative arts, including graphic novels, storyboards, and children's books. Of course, that's all in the long run–for the time being, I'm content to focus on general illustration and caricature.
Hopefully the reviewers can explain why I've been so unsuccessful finding work as an illustrator? Assuming something about the work itself is lacking.
Here are some examples of my editorial stuff:
These are some character sketches for a project I'm developing:
Plus some general, gag-humor illustration:

Hey man,
The work looks great! Strong line art and story telling throughout all of your work. Great anatomy and while not a whole lot of color theory shown (not super super necessary to have mastered, right now), still looks like you could swing it and make everything awesome.
I'd say if you're looking to get into storyboarding/graphic novels/children's stories/etc, you'll need examples to show people that you have done work like that in the past. This may just be me, but I'd be afraid to have an editorial cartoonist (with ONLY editorial cartoons as a portfolio) making a children's book, in fear that my product might have that editorial vibe in it. Not to say you'd do that, but that's the first gut reaction I had.
With graphic novels as example, make a couple page comic as example of what you can offer. Most importantly, have fun with it. You clearly have the skill, and the more you show how much fun you're having in your content/story telling/etc, the more prospects are going to want to see what else you can do. Take it from me, strangers can tell when you make a piece that you're not excited about AS COMPARED TO when you make a piece that you're super stoked to make.
Happy hunting! And get an online portfolio to show people. In case you do not have one, I recommend carbonmade.com for quick and easy presentation and uploading.

When a woman has the beauty men admire and women envy...it is wise to tread carefully.
|Lily bart is a socialite who discovers the precariousness of her position when her beauty and charm start attracting uninvited attention. Her search for a husband comes to a scandalous end when she is falsely accused of having an affair with a married man.
"One of the best films of the year! A crowning achievement! Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Editor's NoteTerence Davies (DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES) triumphs with his sumptuous, painterly adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel, which is set amid the vicious moneyed classes of 1905 New York and features a heartrending, perfectly nuanced performance by Gillian Anderson as doomed heroine Lily Bart. Lily, though strikingly beautiful and socially prominent, remains unmarried at the late age of 29. She jokes that marriage is a woman's vocation, but she is conflicted between her desire to marry a wealthy man and her love for handsome, elegant Lawrence Selden (Eric Stoltz), who, unforgivably, must work for a living. Lily's options begin to narrow, however, when her backstabbing friend, Bertha Dorset (Laura Linney), informs potential suitors of her gambling debts. In a world where the slightest hint of impropriety equals social death, Lily's self-professed genius in doing the wrong thing at the right time leads to trouble. A potential solution to Lily's downward social spiral arrives when a useful secret falls into her lap. In order to save herself, Lily must struggle with her naïveté, pride, and ineptitude at playing the elite's deadly, coded game. Davies's beautifully composed, richly textured images and Anderson's skillful evocation of quiet desperation make for a visually stunning, emotionally resonant tale.

Wegener's Granulomatosis
(WG; Granulomatosis with polyangiitis)
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare disease that causes the walls of blood vessels to become inflamed, a condition called vasculitis. This limits blood flow to tissues and can affect any organ. The outlook is good with proper treatment, but without it, WG is fatal.
Damage to Kidney Due to Decreased Blood Flow
WG is a type of autoimmune disease. This means the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. The cause is unknown.
Risk Factors
WG does not appear to be passed from one generation to the next. It is more common in Caucasians, and in people of middle age.
Symptoms and their severity vary from one person to another. In most cases, ear, nose, and throat symptoms appear first. These symptoms do not respond to normal treatment and worsen over time.
WG can cause common cold- or flu-like symptoms such as:
- Fever
- Achy joints and muscles
- Headache
- Overall feeling of discomfort or fatigue
- Lack of appetite
- Weight loss
Common respiratory tract symptoms associated with WG may include:
- Hearing problems
- Ear pain
- Mid-facial pain
- Persistent nasal discharge, with crusts or sores that do not heal
- Recurrent nosebleeds
- Discharge from the ear
- Recurrent ear infection
- Ulcers in the mouth and nose
- Wheezing
Areas of Sinus Pain
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor may do tests to rule out other conditions, determine which organs are involved, or to confirm the diagnosis. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Biopsy —removal of a sample of affected tissue
Imaging tests to see internal body structures include chest x-ray or CT scan.
WG is treated with medications. Some are used to induce remission, while others are used for maintenance once remission is achieved.
There are no current guidelines to prevent Wegener's granulomatosis.

From the advertising on the gigasampler site I get the impression that the sequencing and recording interfaces are mainly to provide an all in one app. Give the consumer something worth spending a large sum of money on.

The ministry of gender and family promotion (Migeprof) in conjunction with the ministry of youth and ICT are launching a new strategy meant to increase access to finance for women and youth to alleviate both financial and non-financial barriers.
The strategy, 'Women and Youth Access to Finance,' was developed by the two ministries in collaboration with the Business Development Fund (BDF) and the Rwanda Cooperative Agency (RCA) to address managerial and financial challenges, explained Julienne Munyaneza, the permanent secretary in Migeprof.
"It's a milestone for us," said Rosemary Mbabazi, the permanent secretary in MYICT. "Youth and women still face challenges of lack of managerial skills and access to finance; that is why the government judged it very important to enable that big group of the population to access finance."
Women constitute 52% of the whole population while young people below 35 years make up 78.8%. Financial data indicates that women account for only 12% of the credit given out, while for youth no data are available.
According to the officials, the program will mainly focus on capacity building and training so that beneficiaries can get basics to managerial skills and then credit enhancement programs so that they can easily get loans from financial institutions.
Janet Kanyambo, the fund manager at BDF, explained that the new program will provide up to 75% of the collateral instead of the normal rate of 50% which BDF applies to SMEs. In addition, they will also get a grant of 15%.
BDF has already signed Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with different financial institutions, she added.
The program will target the poorest districts according to the recent Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV3). The new strategy was approved by the cabinet in June and will be officially launched at national level on November 29 in Nyaruguru district.

Timely boost for Griquas
Sun, 13 Oct 2013 12:10
I really look forward to the challenge
Griquas were encouraged by a fighting performance against the Golden Lions ahead of their promotion/relegation play-offs with the Pumas.
The Kimberley side might have gone down 35-28 at Ellis Park on Saturday, but it was one of the performances of the season from a side that reflected 12 changes from the week before.
Coach Pote Human said his players put their bodies on the line in a match where they had nothing to lose.
The Pumas finished an impressive run in the national First Division going unbeaten in that competition to claim the title.
"The Pumas are a good side. They are unbeaten in their division, so they will come out and they want to play Currie Cup Premier Division," Human said.
"But if we can put up the same performance and bring in some players that I rested this week, I really look forward to the challenge."
Human rested Springbok winger Willie le Roux, Howard Mnisi, Steph Roberts, Ryno Barnes, Marnus Schoeman, Marnus Hugo and Francois Brummer for the match against the Lions.
Griquas will host the Pumas in Kimberley on Friday with the return match set for Nelspruit a week later.
