A fossil who is the best thing the Republicans could come up with this year. May have a chance of winning because many American think he will keep us safe, think his vice is hot, and fear that Obama is a closet muslim. As you can see, many Americans are clueless! Put your pride aside and vote for who will make you life better-- Obama!
I ain't voting for that slick-talking Muslim just cause he gonna get us out of Iraq, improve our economy and schools and make almost everybodys lives easier! I'm gonna vote for the old man mccain because he is a former POW and I don't care that he wants us to stay in Iraq for another 100 years and build more air-conditioned ferris wheels there!

Unexpectedly, Eva begins a romance with Albert (James Gandolfini), a nice man with whom she has much in common. Meanwhile, Eva finds a new friend in Marianne (Catherine Keener), a poet who is just about perfect except for one thing: She constantly denigrates her ex-husband -- Albert.

West Virginia State Police spokesman Michael Baylous told media outlets including ABC national news, that witnesses described a man walking up to the sheriff's vehicle and firing two shots inside as he ate lunch, then calmly walked to his tan Ford Ranger pickup and drove away. The suspect has been identified as 37-year old Tennis Melvin Maynard, and he was wounded in a shootout with police.

Where oh where are you? With visitors, we spent over an hour trying to find this quarter and ended up going to the old Indian market now confusingly named the Victoria market which was great. So this was totally useless.
We only had a brief amount of time to spend in this area so spent it in one of the shopping areas. The spice shops were incredible with different curries, spice mixes and seasonings necessary for East Indian cuisine. The Indian shop keepers were delightful--I've never been called darling so many times in my life!
What used to be an area that represented a small part of India and much of the Indian heritage and culture this area has metamorphisised into a multinational culture with people from all over. Street vendors and pedestrians juggle for space in the narrow pavements. It remains a bustling area, where any person finds themselves somewhat intimidated by the jostling...
This area is a great place to see the various cultures and the way the people are respectful. Also A good place to do shopping.v
As part of the tour of Durban we stopped at an Indian market which was ok to pick up a few cheap gifts
The smells, sound and colour. The hum and buzz of the people., makes you feel as though you have been to India! Lots to buy from spices and curry powders to exotic saris, gorgeous beaded sandals and jewellery. Take cash and bargain!
Blaze of colours from cloths and spice barrels, multitude of smells and sounds as India comes to Durban
In a mordern city, you could be forgiven for thinking that you are in an area that is from yesteryear. Some of the buildings are extremely old, as are the traders. well worth visiting
looking for what ever and you will probably find it in this neck of the woods, no not in the stores but on the streets. there are street vendors for just about anything you might need, or think you need. persistant they are not though. and for the very brave you can even get your fortunes told by the local...
A must see for all local and foreign visitors. Such amazing heritage and culture. An amazing mosque and spice market.

About Us
Our Mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Girl Scouts ayuda alas ninas a desarrollar la confianza en si mismas, el valor, y los principios para hacer del mundo un mejor lugar.
The Girl Scout Purpose
The purpose of Girl Scouting is to inspire girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service that they may become happy and resourceful citizens. Girl Scouting seeks to accomplish this by providing girls opportunities to develop their potential and have fun with their peers in a supportive, all-girl setting.
Girl Scouting Is:
A movement that gives girls from all segments of American life a chance to develop their potential, to make friends, and to become a vital part of their community. Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912. It is a not-for-profit, youth serving organization chartered by the United States Congress. Based on ethical values, it opens up a world of opportunities for girls, working in partnership with adult volunteers. Its sole focus is to meet the needs of girls.
The founder of Girl Scouting, Juliette Gordon Low, organized the first Girl Scout troop in the United States on March 12, 1912. She lived for a time in England, and it was there that she met Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Boy Scouts, and his sister Agnes, who had started a similar movement for girls called Girl Guides. Juliette Low was so impressed with this concept for girls that she decided to bring the organization to the United States. She held the first American Girl Scout meeting at her home in Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912.
Juliette Low set a standard for Girl Scouts and people everywhere who want to work actively to make the world a better, friendlier, and more peaceful place. The Girl Scout program, based on the ideas of Juliette Low, gives girls and adults opportunities to understand themselves and others, to develop skills, values, and ethics, and to extend and contribute their special gifts and talents.
Throughout its 90 years, the Girl Scout movement has played a key role in helping girls prepare for their futures. In keeping with founder Juliette Gordon Low's vision, the Girl Scouts remain committed to meeting the unique needs of girls. Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. continues to offer girls opportunities to explore new career paths and prepare for expanded roles in a changing society, while retaining the timeless values that have made the Girl Scout experience rich and meaningful for all girls.
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. (GSUSA) is the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world. The headquarters are in New York City. Councils are the local units chartered by GSUSA to administer the Girl Scout program within an assigned jurisdiction. The organization serves girls ages 5 - 17 (or grades kindergarten to 12th) who subscribe to its ideals as stated in the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
GSUSA forms part of a worldwide family of girls and adults in 140 countries through its membership in the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). WAGGGS is an international organization whose purpose was to encourage friendship among girls. Today, 8.5 million girls and adults belong to WAGGGS.
The World Association Pin is worn to show membership in this international movement. WAGGGS is headquartered in London and operates four world centers: Pax Lodge (England), Our Chalet (Switzerland), Sang (India), and Our Canbana (Mexico).
Today there are approximately 3.7 million Girl Scout members.

Employed executives account for less than 1 percent of total adult membership.
The Girl Scout Program: A Learning Experience for All
"The Girl Scout program is an informal educational program designed to help girls put into practice the fundamental principles of the Girl Scout Movement as set forth in the Preamble. The program is adapted to meet the developmental, educational, emotional, and social needs and interests of girls at six age levels. It is carried out in small groups with adult leadership and provides a wide range of activities developed around the interests and needs of girls."
It is a continuous adventure in learning that offers every girl a broad range of activities which address both her current interests and her future role as a woman. Through activities that stimulate self-discovery, girls are introduced to the excitement in the worlds of science, the arts, the out-of-doors, and people. Girls grow in skill and in self-confidence. They have fun, they make new friends, and through meaningful community service they acquire understanding about themselves and others.
The Girl Scout program is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law:
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
Girl Scouting's Goals for Girls
There are three key goals of the Girl Scout program, which are: DISCOVER, CONNECT, and TAKE ACTION.
Girls understand themselves and their values and use their knowledge and skills to explore the world.
Girls care about, inspire, and team with others locally and globally.
Girls act to make the world a better place.
Girl Scouting's Special Days
October 31, Juliette Low's Birthday (also known as Founder's Day)
February 22, Thinking Day. The birthday of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell has become a day for Girl Scouts and Girl Guides all over the world to think about each other.
March 12, Girl Scout Birthday. On March 12, 1912, Juliette Low and two other women met with 18 girls to form the first Girl Scout troop in the United States. Girl Scouts celebrate the birthday of this first Girl Scout meeting for an entire week. The week in which March 12 falls is recognized as Girl Scout Week.

WARNING-Abuse is mentioned, and if you don't like it, don't read!
"Why can't you do anything right!? You are so pathetic!"
Your mother's words rang through your head as you made your way to your homeroom class. As you walked to class, you kept pulling your sleeves down, making sure to cover the bruises that you had received last night. You see, your mother was very abusive, and she beat you any chance she got. She was always that way, but after your father died a few years ago, she started drinking and that made the abuse worse. Every day you were forced to wear jeans and hoodies to cover your scars and fresh and healing bruises. You worried every day that your friends or teachers would find out about the abuse. If they did, your mother would be arrested, and if that happened you would have nowhere to go.
You were brought out of your thoughts as you walked into your homeroom. You sat down and looked at your classmates, smiling as you watched their crazy antics. Alfred was busy eating hamburgers, much to the teacher's annoyance. Francis and Arthur were fighting about something pointless, while Ivan was talking to one of his "friends" Toris, who looked terrified. Ludwig was scolding Feliciano about his homework while Kiku watched silently. You shook your head slightly as you watched your classmates and friends when you heard someone say your name. You turned your head and saw your best friend and secret crush, Antonio, sit in front of you. You smiled and said," What's up Toni?" He shrugged and smiled saying," Nothing, did you study for that math test?"
You and Toni continued talking when all of a sudden Gilbert , a friend of Toni's who annoyed you, walked up to you and said, "Say (f/n), the awesome me has a question for you." You sighed and gave him an annoyed look asking," What is it Gilbert?" He smirked and said," Well, I was wondering why you always wear hoodies. I haven't seen your arms in three years." You immediately paled, and you started rubbing your hands together nervously as you said," W-well, I-I just like hoodies, t-that's all." Since you were stuttering, it was obvious you were lying, and Gilbert smirked before asking," Kesesese! Well, if that's all-"His smirk grew and it was obvious he was planning something.
++Antonio's P.O.V++
I saw the look on Gilbert's face and I knew he was up to something, so I said," Gil, what ar-" but I was cut off as he grabbed (f/n)'s hand and said," Than you won't mind if I do this!" With that said he pushed (f/n)'s sleeve up, revealing her wrist, and he dropped her hand in surprise. My jaw dropped as I looked at her now exposed wrist, as (f/n) sat rigid in surprise. Her wrist was covered in bruises, both fresh and healing, and old and new scars. I continued to stare until (f/n) came to her senses, quickly pulling her sleeve down. Gilbert and I were quiet for a few seconds before I said," (f/n), why was-"but I stopped when I saw tears streaming down her face. I was unsure what to do, and I was about to speak when suddenly the bell rang, and she grabbed her books and raced out the door. I looked after her with a worried expression, and as I walked out the door, Gilbert walked up beside me.
He said," Did you see the bruises she had?" I nodded silently and he continued," Where do you think she got them?" I shook my head and said," I don't know, but why did you do that?" He rubbed his neck sheepishly before saying," Well, I've just been wondering why she always wears hoodies. I didn't know she was hiding something like that. If I had, I wouldn't have done something as unawesome as that." I nodded and said," Now I'm really worried about her, but knowing her she'll just avoid the subject, or act like it didn't happen." Gilbert looked at me and said," You said you liked her, right?" I blushed and said," Y-yes, so what?" He smirked before saying," Well, how about you ask her about the bruises, and confess to her at the same time? If you tell her you like her and care about her, maybe she'll let you help her." I gave Gilbert a confused and surprised look, because I'd never heard him be so understanding, about anything, but what he said made sense. I could confess to name, and hopefully find out about the bruises, so that I could help her. I nodded and said," Yeah, that's what I'll do, good idea Gil." He smirked and said," Of course it was! I'm just that awesome!"
++Your P.O.V++
You were still shaken up from earlier, when Gilbert and Antonio had seen your wrist. You knew Gilbert would be too embarrassed to say anything about it, but you were worried about what Toni would do. You knew he wouldn't drop the subject, he was too good of a friend to do that. Knowing that, you did your best to avoid him all day. You were lucky, you only shared one class and lunch with him. You didn't sit next to him in that class, and you sat at a different table at lunch so he couldn't find you. The only thing you were worried about was the fact that you couldn't avoid him forever.
You had just gotten out of your last class, and you opened up your locker. When you did you saw a note taped on the inside. You grabbed the note, and after reading it you sighed in frustration. The note was from Toni, asking you to meet him in the park down the street from your school. You grabbed your backpack, and started walking to the park, knowing you should hear what he has to say. You walked into the park, and you saw Toni sitting on a park bench. You walked over to join him, and you sat down next him saying,"Hey Toni." He nodded and said," Hey." You sat in silence for a few minutes before he said," Do you know why I wanted you to meet me here?" You nodded and looked away, before saying," You want to ask me about my wrist, right?" He nodded and you sighed, saying," I'm sorry, but I can't tell you."
He didn't look surprised as he said," That's what I thought." You looked at him from the corner of your eye and said," Then, will you forget about it?" He shook his head and said," No." You looked at him and you started to protest but he stopped you when he said," I care about you (f/n)." You froze, a bright blush spreading across your face as you stuttered," W-What…y-you…"
You didn't know what to say, and he continued," That's why I won't forget about it. I care about you too much to just let something like that go. I want to know how you got those bruises, so I can help you. I like you (f/n), and I want to protect you, and help you anyway I can." You were blushing brightly and close to tears, after hearing his small speech, you realized that he liked you too, and he wanted to help you. So you slowly turned to him, and you threw your arms around him. He was slightly surprised, but wrapped his arms around you as you started crying. You told him everything, about how your mom abuses you and how you had hidden your bruises and scars for the last three years, finishing with,"…and…I like you too, Toni." You felt his hand cup your cheek, and he lifted your head so that you were facing him. He smiled at you and pulled you in for a kiss, which you shyly returned. You pulled away when the need for air was too great, and you smiled at him.
He smiled back and leaned in for another kiss when you suddenly shouted," Oh no!" He jumped in surprise and asked," What's wrong?" You gave him a worried look as you said," I was supposed to go right home, and now my mom is…" You trailed off, and Toni nodded in understanding before saying," Don't worry, I'll come with you, and tell her I'm calling the cops." You looked at him, slightly surprised as you said," But…if you do, I won't have anywhere to go." He gave you a small smile and said," You can come stay with me. We have a spare room, and my parents love you, so they'll late you stay." You were silent for a moment as you realized you were finally getting away from your mother. You threw yourself at him and said," Thank you Toni!" He chuckled and said," Well, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't help out my girlfriend?" You looked up at him and smiled, knowing your life was only going to get better from now on.

The elusive Google Project Glass has put in an appearance at CES – in a Vegas club to be precise. We got close up with Google engineer Adrian Wong and chatted with the designers behind the tech.
On inspection, the augmented-reality glasses look surprisingly stylish and solidly built. Voice controls are the main method of interaction but in a noisy environment – like, say, a Vegas nightclub – the specs sport a small trackpad on their side. Swiping on the finger-sized pad provides easy scrolling with tapping for selection. No sign of the rumoured head-tilt controls though, sadly.
We were also told that the Google Glasses' facial recognition is working – and that in the final product, it could be used to instantly access a person's Facebook profile as you're talking to them.
While Google's employees were tight-lipped on the subject of battery life, the device was on – and filming – for most of the night, so expect a similar battery life to that of your mobile. All in all it looks and feels like it fits its $US1500 pre-order price tag.

Intro: This story originally appeared in the Spanish Publico on May 9, 2009. Predictably, the U.S. press ignored it. Below find an English translation, and note that the translation is cross-posted at the Daily Kos, and DemocraticUnderground.com.
U.S. Lawyers point to Bush for the tortures
The lawyer of Martin Luther King's family contributes a thorough report to the Spanish lawsuit to reinforce the charge — The American Civil Liberties Union offers their collaboration
Pere Rusiñol in Madrid (Público)
Translation: Lynn Strother
A group of lawyers in the United States, led by William F. Pepper, the veteran human rights lawyer linked to Martin Luther King's family, have joined the Spanish lawsuit about Guantánamo and the tortures of the Bush administration. Pepper has contributed a 121 page document to the prosecution, in which he defends Spain's right to investigate, and suggests that the proceedings be widened to charge former president George W. Bush directly.
The U.S. lawyers also contribute 45 documents to the lawsuit — some, declassified recently; others, of public knowledge for years — that permit the "tracking of the process of decision making" that led to the application of methods equivalent to torture with the detainees of the "war against terrorism".
All of these documents are now part of the lawsuit that the judge Eloy Velasco is preparing in the National High Court against six lawyers who built the "legal scaffolding" which led to Guantánamo. They will also be… Continue reading

New details have emerged about minders who sat in on 9/11 Commission interviews during a fact-finding trip to Canada. Commission heads Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton mentioned the minders generally in interviews during the panel's lifetime, but a memo recently found in the National Archives and blogged here a couple of weeks ago showed how prevalent they were.
Another document, again found by History Commons contributor paxvector, provides more details of how the minders worked during a trip to Canada. The commission, which eventually recommended taking part of the CIA director's responsibilities away and giving them to a Director of National Intelligence, was considering changes to the intelligence community and sent a team to Canada to examine how its intelligence services were organised and report back.
The three-page memo, entitled "Canada Trip Lessons Learned" and apparently drafted by staffer Gordon Lederman in the autumn of 2003, highlights how the minders behaved.
One minder "acted as a participant," "responded to inquiries" and "consulted with" the interviewee. She took verbatim notes in all three interviews she attended, doing so while sitting next to the interviewees in two of them. In addition, in one interview she "sighed heavily repeatedly." The memo-writer also points out, "She had an opportunity to coach/poison the well with [Redacted] at dinner the night before and with others before they arrived including with FBI attorney and Legat [legal attaché]." It's not clear which agency this minder was from, although… Continue reading

Announcement at 123 Real Change by Sibel Edmonds
We all have been tirelessly screaming
about issues related to Congressional leaders abdicating their main responsibility
of 'oversight.' We have been outraged for way too long at seeing 'no' accountability
whatsoever in many known cases of extreme wrongdoing. I, and many of you, believe
that the biggest reason for this was, and still is, the lack of true journalism
and media coverage — which acts as the necessary pressure and catalyst for
those spineless politicians on the Hill and in the Executive branch. Or, at
least it's supposed to. So, in our book, the MSM has been the main culprit.
Well, here is a chance to turn the tables.
At my new blog, 123 Real Change,
I'm happy to present an experimental project, Project Expose MSM, created to
provide readers with specific mainstream media blackout and/or misinformation
cases based on the documented and credible first-hand experiences of
legitimate sources and whistleblowers.123 Real Change is inviting all members
of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC),
other active (covert or overt) government whistleblowers, and even reporters
themselves, to publish their experiences in regard to their own first-hand dealings
with the media, where their legit disclosures were either intentionally censored,
blacked out or tainted.
Yes, we will be naming names — myself included.
We will even do so below, in one real-case example, intended to help illustrate
how the project will work. In the absence of the real investigative… Continue reading

'9/11 Press for Truth' on Channel 12 Draws Huge Support from Colorado Public Television Viewers
Program will repeat at 2:00, 9:00 and midnight on Saturday
DENVER — (June 4, 2009) — KBDI has always been at the forefront of controversial programming and last night was no exception. As the first broadcast station in the United States to air the controversial documentary 9/11 Press for Truth, which claims a 9/11 cover-up, KBDI showed that it is not afraid to touch on sensitive subjects.
Due to viewer response to the program, Channel 12 will repeat the program Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., followed by an encore at midnight.
During the premiere, Bob McIlvaine, who lost his son Bobby at the World Trade Center, and 9/11 Press for Truth producer Kyle Hence and director Ray Nowosielski were in the studio to give more insight into why they believed 9/11 was a cover-up and why the American public should be screaming for answers.
Supporters of the documentary hope that because of the risk KBDI took by putting 9/11 Press for Truth on the air that more PBS stations across the nation will take a chance and broadcast the controversial documentary.
Press for Truth's producer Kyle Hence already has heard the cries saying people from all over the country have been forwarding his e-mails on… Continue reading
The provocative new film and book about the untold story of the 2001 U.S. Anthrax Attacks and the dark secrets of the shadowy world of modern day germ weapons research.
"Fear and Terror on The Anthrax Trail" – Anthrax War Trailer:
When the 2001 anthrax attacks hit the USA in the days following 9/11, it was like a one-two punch against the Republic. Workers in New York's media center who had seen the planes swoop too low over their heads en route to the Twin Tower were now terrified of their mail. In Washington, Capitol Hill was evacuated and White House staffers were chewing CIPRO tablets.
It was our scariest collective nightmare come to life – the attack of deadly invisible bugs. It seemed like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the preceding years filled as they were with scores of films, best-selling books, TV shows and articles on the coming of "Bio-Terror." Indeed, for the first time in history, national leaders and the military actually acted out high-tech "germ attack" war games, one of which had a scenario shockingly close to the actual events.
So after the government pledged the most thorough investigation it could muster, we hoped the feds would get to the bottom of it all. Thus, we were saddened but not really surprised when the attacks disappeared from public discourse – unmentioned, for example, by any major candidate during the 2008 election contest. And when the FBI announced suddenly last summer that the cold case was red-hot, identified… Continue reading

I believe that anyone who promotes further murders like Dr. Tiller or the guard at the holocaust museum are guilty of terrorism. As a Muslim blogger wrote about the Tiller murder:
Two men commit murder with the goal of influencing government policy in the United States. The crimes occur one day apart. Both are religiously motivated. The Muslim is charged with terrorism. The Christian is not.
On the other hand, anyone who tries to label the maniacs who committed the murders as "right wingers" is painting with too wide a brush.
The murders – and the prevention of potential future attacks – are part of an important law enforcement issue. But just as it was insane to invade Iraq based upon a false linkage with 9/11, it would be insane to try to label millions of Americans as being dangerous just because they are republicans, or liberals or any other group.
Remember, many on the left say that the people and the treasury are being looted by the big corporations and fat cats . See this, this and this. So don't fall for the old divide and conquer trick of trying to distr act from the populist anger which both the right and the left righteously feel at being ripped off.
And the fact that the guy who murdered the guard is anti-semitic does not mean that everyone who questions Israel's oppressive policies is a bad guy. Remember, many Israeli citizens question… Continue reading

It's late spring 2009 in New York City and an unannounced unidentified U.S. government plane streaks across town. Recollecting the horrors of 9/11, the incident scares the he-be-gee-bees out of the citizenry. Some miles to the north, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer (D/NY), while attending an April 18th "Tour of the Battenkill" annual bicycle race in Cambridge, New York, responds to a question regarding efforts here in New York City to establish a new investigation of 9/11. Lending his qualified support to such an inquiry, he said that he was positively disposed toward a new investigation into the events of 9/11, though his support for such a probe would depend on the form it would take. "I think it's not a bad idea," he said. "You know, you've got to do it in a good way, but yes, I'd be for it."
An associate of Schumer, New York State Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, also recommended a fresh look at the events of September 11, 2001. Commenting this past May 27th to a young reporter who himself had suffered the loss of a loved one during 9/11, the senator responded to the question of a new investigation by suggesting that "another review, or a fuller hearing" is warranted given the number of unanswered questions put forward by victims families since 9/11. "I think those questions should be answered," she stated, going on to affirm that, "it's important that every family member have every question answered."
Senators Schumer and… Continue reading

Powerful prosecutor and public figure Patrick Fitzgerald has been waging
a chilling private jihad aimed at "killing" a book critical of him.
Okay, so he's one of the "sexiest
men alive" — but what does Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. Attorney in
Chicago and Special Counsel in the CIA leak case, have against us poor, unsexy
journalists? It's bad enough that Fitzie won't answer my questions: ("Rory.
I just wanted to get back to you and let you know that I am going to decline
to be interviewed. Thank you. Pat") It's worse that he was responsible
for the jailing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who spent
85 days behind bars. Now comes word that Fitzgerald, who must have too much
time on his hands now that Scooter Libby has been freed and Rod Blagojevich
indicted, spent much of the last year and a half going after another journalist,
Peter Lance, in an attempt to kill a new edition of Lance's investigative book
Triple Cross by threatening to sue both the author and his publisher
for libel.
published in November 2006 by Regan Books, a division of Harper_Collins,
Triple Cross uncovers the story of how Al Qaeda master spy Ali Mohamed
infiltrated U.S. intelligence in the years leading up to 9/11 – "and how
the FBI's elite bin Laden squad failed to stop him." Among the radicals
trained by Ali Mohamed –and photographed by the FBI in 1989… Continue reading

The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September 11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by terrorists, according to a 9/11 Commission document recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented on September 9, terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to blow it up with explosives over New York.
The undated document, entitled "NORAD EXERCISES Hijack Summary," was part of a series of 9/11 Commission records moved to the National Archives at the start of the year. It was found there, and posted to the History Commons site at Scribd, by History Commons contributor paxvector, in the files of the commission's Team 8, which focused on the failed emergency response on the day of the attacks. The summary appears to have been drafted by one of the commission's staffers, possibly Miles Kara, based on documents submitted by NORAD.
An excerpt from page 4 of the NORAD EXERCISES document.
In the September 9 scenario, the fictitious terrorists' goal seems to have been to kill New Yorkers with the rain of debris following the plane's explosion. However, in the exercise, the military intercepted the plane and forced it away from the city. When the terrorists realized they were not near New York, they blew the plane up "over land near the divert location," leaving no survivors. The military unit most involved in this scenario was NORAD's Northeast Air Defense… Continue reading
"War on Terror" advocates want civilians to die to justify "War on Terror"
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
6 July, 2009
CIA analyst Michael Scheuer's recent call for bin Laden to kill more Americans would be shocking if we hadn't already heard it dozens of times before from other "War on Terror" advocates. "It's an absurd situation," Scheuer told FOX News personality Glenn Beck on his program last week. "Only Osama can execute an attack that will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary."
The comments have provoked much shock and outrage among pundits and websites like Jon Stewart and NewsHounds who may have considered him to be on their side. After all, he seemed to be a vociferous and effective critic of the neocons, having authored books like Imperial Hubris and having supported Ron Paul during the 2008 Presidential debates by asserting that 9/11 was merely blowback for American interventionism in the Middle East. With his latest comments, Scheuer is now relegated to the ignoble company of neocon shills like Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who dreamed of another terrorist attack back in 2007 to rally people around the flag (and, presumably, George W. Bush) once again; Donald Rumsfeld, who complained in 2006 that the Bush regime was a victim of its own success in the "War on Terror" and that another terrorist attack was needed to remind people that the war was still necessary; and… Continue reading

British weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly was writing an expose about his work with anthrax and his warnings that Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction at the time of his death in July 2003, according to a report published in a British newspaper.
Kelly's death — said to have been a suicide — has stirred controversy, as it came on the heels of testimony to the House of Commons about a memo which purported that Britain had "sexed up" a dossier on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction. A Parliamentary inquiry ruled that the death had been suicide, though it also included testimony from a former British ambassador who quotes Kelly as having said, "I will probably be found dead in the woods" if Iraq were invaded.
The new report says Kelly had spoken with an Oxford publisher several times about a book.
"He had several discussions with a publisher in Oxford and was seeking advice on how far he could go without breaking the law on secrets," the UK Daily Express alleged.
Kelly's computers were seized in the wake of his death. He was a signatory to Britain's Official Secrets Act, which allows for the prosecution of those who talk to the press about state secrets and prescribes a more stringent framework for secrecy than in the United States.
According to the paper, "he was intending to reveal that he warned Prime Minister Tony Blair there were no weapons of… Continue reading

The evidence was crucial because it undermined the official explanation that Hani Hanjour crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at high speed after executing an extremely difficult top gun maneuver. But to understand how all of this played out, let us review the case in bite-size pieces…
In August 2004 when the 9/11 Commission completed its official investigation of the September 11, 2001 attack, the commission transfered custody of its voluminous records to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).[1] There, the records remained under lock and key for four and a half years, until last January when NARA released a fraction of the total for public viewing. Each day, more of the released files are scanned and posted on the Internet, making them readily accessible. Although most of the newly-released documents are of little interest, the files I will discuss in this article contain important new information.
As we know, the 9/11 Commission did not begin its work until 2003——more than a year after the fact. By this time a number of journalists had already done independent research and published articles about various facets of 9/11. Some of this work was of excellent quality. T he Washington Post, for example, interviewed aviation experts who stated that the plane allegedly piloted by Hani Hanjour [AA Flight 77] had been flown "with extraordinary skill, making it highly… Continue reading

Last month, police and the FBI arrested four Newburgh men on charges that they had plotted to bomb synagogues in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx and fire a missile at a military jet.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly held press conferences at the synagogues to reassure New Yorkers about their safety. During Kelly's remarks, it was startling to hear the commissioner refer to al-Qaeda by name, if only to say that the four purported home-grown terrorists had no ties to Osama Bin Laden's organization.
As more details emerged, however, the less the four defendants sounded like men with the skills to plan a sophisticated terror plot. They were small-time crooks, felons with long criminal records whose previous activities revolved around smoking marijuana and playing video games. One defendant, Laguerre Payen, was arrested in a crack house surrounded by bottles of his own urine; his lawyer describes him as "mildly retarded."
It seemed fairly astounding that, for a full calendar year, such a group could remain interested in and plan anything more complex than a backyard barbecue, let alone a multipronged paramilitary assault, as the indictment against them alleged.
But what the indictment didn't say, and what the initial news reports didn't fill in, was the extent to which the fifth man in the plot, an unnamed FBI informant, had provided the glue to hold the Newburgh 4 together.
That informant was a Pakistani man named Shahed Hussain, code-named… Continue reading

A long time ago, I spent some time looking into the flights that took members of the Saudi Royals, as well as members of the Bin Laden family out of the country in the days, and weeks after 9/11. Here is what I found.
According to Richard Clarke during his testimony (yea, yea, call me lazy for linking to Michael Moore's site) at both the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the 9/11 Commission Hearings, he stated the following:
"Now, what I recall is that I asked for flight manifests of everyone on board and all of those names need to be directly and individually vetted by the FBI before they were allowed to leave the country. And I also wanted the FBI to sign off even on the concept of Saudis being allowed to leave the country. And as I recall, all of that was done. It is true that members of the Bin Laden family were among those who left. We knew that at the time. I can't say much more in open session, but it was a conscious decision with complete review at the highest levels of the State Department and the FBI and the White House." Testimony of Richard Clarke, Former Counterterrorism Chief, National Security Council, before The Senate Judiciary Committee, September 3, 2003.
"I was making or coordinating a lot of decisions on 9/11 and the days immediately after. And I would love to be able to… Continue reading

Note: The author is indebted to a few particularly useful sources of information and inspiration, including Russ Baker's book "Family of Secrets", the websites nndb.com, sourcewatch.org and secinfo.com, and Richard Gage.
On occasion, the public has been asked by George W. Bush to refrain from considering certain conspiracy theories. Bush has made such requests when people were looking into crimes in which he might be culpable. For example, when in 1994 Bush's former company Harken Energy was linked to the fraudulent Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) through several investors, Bush's spokeswoman, Karen Hughes, shut down the inquiry by telling the Associated Press — "We have no response to silly conspiracy theories." On another occasion, Bush said in a televised speech — "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th."
But paradoxically, we have also been asked to believe Bush's own outrageous conspiracy theory about 9/11, one that has proven to be false in many ways. One important way to see the false nature of Bush's conspiracy theory is to note the fact that the World Trade Center buildings could only have fallen as they did through the use of explosives. A number of independent scientific studies have pointed out this fact [1, 2, 3, 4], but it was Bush's own scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), through their inability to provide a convincing defense of… Continue reading

and survivors of the September 11th attacks gathered to endorse a November ballot
initiative to establish a new 9/11 investigation under the auspices of the city
government of New York. Support on the street is high, the group says, and polls
indicate a majority of New Yorkers wants a new investigation.
On June 24, the group leading the ballot initiative, the New York City Coalition
for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) filed a petition containing 52,000 signatures
with the office of the City Clerk. The official filing initiated a 60-day period
specified in Section 37 of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law in which the
City Council is asked to review the petition and approve its placement on the
upcoming November ballot.
Since this milestone filing, the group has gathered an additional 15,000 signatures
and received several endorsements from prominent leaders. Renowned whistleblower
and former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who TIME magazine selected as one of three
"Persons of the Year" in 2002, endorsed a new investigation yesterday,
as reported by RAWSTORY (http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/07/ex-fbi-agent-why-i-support-a-new-911-investigation/).

community of relatives of the… Continue reading

That's what she said. He was a block from his home. What do u you mean he has no business being there? I don't think you guys no anything about the case. His father home was a block from where he got gunned down.
Looks to me you are the one that knows nothing about this case Im plenty familiar.
Z was never investigated for "domestic violence", there were no calls of disturbance to be checked out, no charges, no arrests, nothing at all beyond his EX filling in a restraining order and for the REASON she listed "domestic violence" because you cant just get one of those on someone for no reason at all.
In fact they BOTH filled these out the exact same way on each other, doesnt mean it happened, just means they wanted to get the RO passed.
Can you locate an actual charge of domestic violence? or anything that he was investigated for? Go ahead, I'll wait. Otherwise any further mention of domestic violence on Z's part can simply be regarded as the hogwash it is, media spin, no real substance.
He was NOT a block away, he was several hundred yards away from where he was allegedly staying, about 2-3 suburban blocks, and NO, he really had no business being on other peoples property, casing out cars and houses.
Go read more on the case and the incident, stop watching NBC and listening to Al Sharpton, none of them are telling you the truth.

YIELD: Makes 4 main-course servings
In a small bowl, pour the wine over the prunes and let soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Trim the silver skin off the tenderloins. Cut the tenderloins into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Season the rounds on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a sauté pan just large enough to hold the rounds, heat the olive oil over high heat. When it smokes, add the pork rounds and brown, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they feel firm to the touch. If they start to get too brown, turn down the heat. Transfer the pork rounds to a warmed platter and set aside in a warm spot. Pour the fat out of the pan.
Drain the prunes, reserving the wine and prunes separately. Measure out 1/2 cup of the wine. Return the pan to high heat and add the 1/2 cup wine and the prunes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then stir in the meat glaze, if using. Boil until the wine is reduced by about half; if you have added the glaze, the sauce will develop a lightly syrupy consistency. Add the cream and boil until reduced to a light sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the pork rounds on warmed plates and spoon the sauce and prunes over the top.
Meat Glaze
Meat glaze is made by simmering down (reducing) broth until it has a syrupy consistency. Once you have this glaze on hand, you can use it for making sauces and giving body and flavor to braises and stews. You can reduce meat broth down to about one-fifteenth its original volume, or to a demi-glace, or you can reduce it again by half (about one-thirtieth its original volume) to get glace, or meat glaze. Commercial meat glaze, specifically the excellent More-than-Gourmet brand, is the equivalent of broth that has been reduced to about one-thirtieth of its original volume.
To make meat glaze, put 5 quarts beef broth in a pot on the stove top and bring to a gentle simmer. Move the pot slightly off center of the burner and adjust the heat so the liquid bubbles gently on one side (a bubble rises only every second or two). Simmer gently, frequently skimming off the fat and froth as they accumulate with a ladle, until the broth is reduced by about half. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a smaller pot. Return the broth to the stove top and continue reducing the same way. When it is again reduced by half, strain it into a smaller pot and continue reducing until you have about 2/3 cup. Transfer to a jar or plastic container, let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 months or freeze indefinitely. If you prefer to make and use demi-glace, only reduce the broth to 1 1/3 cups and use twice as much in recipes calling for meat glaze.
Many cookbooks recommend putting broth in ice-cube trays and freezing it for quick use in sauces and even soups. The problem with this idea is that you need bagfuls of cubes to give body to a sauce or to make a soup. Instead, follow the directions for making meat glaze, but reduce the broth only until it is about one-eighth its original volume. (If you start with about 5 quarts, you will have about 2 1/2 cups.) Pour the reduced broth into ice-cube trays and freeze. One cube is just about perfect for a sauce that yields four servings.

Teenage Kiwi superstar Lydia Ko has taken to social media to announce she's officially turning professional in a zany YouTube video with All Black Israel Dagg.
The 16-year-old posted the video today where she and the All Black fullback play a round of golf together at Gulf Harbour.
Dagg, who is no slouch with a golf club and plays off a 16-handicap, nags Ko throughout the skit, continuously asking when she will turn pro.
On the final hole the teenage sinks a clutch putt and finally surrender to Dagg's commands and simply says "ok I'll do it."
ONE News reported earlier this month that the North Shore teenager would turn professional before the end of the year. Two weeks ago she petitioned the LPGA for an exemption that would allow her onto the tour before she reaches the 18 year old age limit.
Today's announcement makes no mention of endorsements or management deals but it's understood she'll be part of a smartphone launch tomorrow and play her first professional event in Florida on November 21.
Ko has won four professional events as an amateur including two Canadian Open titles, the NSW Open and the NZ Women's Open. She also finished runner-up at the final major of the year, the Evian Championship in France, just two shots off the pace.
At 14 she became the youngest ever winner of a professional tour event when she claimed the NSW Open and her 2012 win at the Canadian Open made her the youngest winner of an LPGA event.
Now ranked number five in the world golf rankings, Ko has turned down over $1.2 million in prize money due to her amateur status but from today she can now receive that prize money and also take on endorsement deals as a golfer.
"This is a very momentous day for Lydia and we are so thrilled that she has chosen such a unique and entertaining way to share her news with her fans today," New Zealand Golf Chief Executive Dean Murphy said.
Murphy said they had scheduled Ko and her good friend and Dagg to get together for a game of golf to promote the upcoming LOVE Golf Membership campaign and the idea evolved from there.
"We are rolling out a new membership campaign over summer to promote involvement in our great game and lets just say the storyline changed somewhat in the last few days," he said.
"Being the special person that Lydia is, she was reluctant to hold a traditional press conference. She didn't want to make a big fuss about news that had already been reported in the media in recent weeks.
"She has also been very busy studying for exams and wanted to make this announcement in a different way.
Murphy said that Ko's amateur career was exceptional and she has been an outstanding ambassador for New Zealand Golf.
"She has been phenomenal," he said. "Her amateur record ranks right up there among the greats of the game. She has won four professional titles, claimed the US and Australian Amateur titles, climbed to world number four on the world wankings and has been the world number on amateur for more than two years without ever losing that title. That is a record that is unlikely to be matched by a 16-year-old ever again."
"Lydia is an exceptional talent and we wish her every success in her professional career. We look forward to welcoming her home to defend her title at the New Zealand Womens Open as a professional."

BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) Emergency crews in southeast Iowa are training on new equipment to better prepare for ice rescues.
The Burlington Hawk Eye reports a dozen firefighters took turns submerging into Izaak Walton Lake Wednesday morning. They also played the role of the victim.
The annual training involved a sled that enables a rescuer to run over very thin ice by distributing his or her weight over a large surface. This allows the rescuer to remain in control of the victim without having to crawl or swim to them.
Officials say this is an especially dangerous time of year as warmer temperatures create dangerous conditions.
More firefighters are expected to receive training Thursday and Friday.

China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Sugar High Nail Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
China Glaze Sugar High Nail Lacquer
China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Sugar High
China Glaze Sugar High Nail Lacquer is a vibrant medium pink with a coral kick creme. When I swatched it, I saw a fair amount of coral in it, so I wouldn't classify it as a hot pink at all. It does have the brightness one would expect in a hot pink, though, but there is definitely some coral in it. I actually think the smidgen of coral makes it a more interesting than it otherwise would have been.
Like other deeper shades in the collection, Sugar High applied like a dream–even, smooth, and opaque–in just one or two coats. I didn't find myself worrying much over streakiness with this, like I did with some of the lighter shades, which was nice. The formula is similar to the other shades; thick, richly pigmented, and has a beautiful slightly glossy creme finish.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ!
- Product: 28/30

- Ease of Use: 4/5

Recommendation: Though a little summery, this is one beautiful pink-coral shade for nails!

LIFE on Earth may have begun on Mars, a team of researchers told the American Astronomical Society meeting in Atlanta this week.
Collisions could have blasted life-containing rocks off Mars into space, so if life evolved there it probably reached the early Earth. Life appeared so early on Earth that some scientists in the past have suggested it must have evolved first on another planet outside the Solar System.
But the researchers rule out any source outside the Solar System. "The problem for interstellar transfer is the long transit time," said Jay Melosh of the University of Arizona. Radiation would destroy DNA on a journey between stars, says Francis Cucinotta of the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston.
