The flooding and flattening of New Orleans and its exposure of this government"s abject failure in preparedness are a shock to the collective psyche of Americans. The human cost of this breakdown in response reveals the stark reality of life for millions in the richest country in the world. News coverage on the BBC truly showed how appalling the human conditions are in New Orleans, presenting us as an embarrassment to the world. Who would have ever thought that conditions normally seen in Sudan or Calcutta would surface here? Even the conservative news networks are exclaiming how inexplicable it is that so much that so much
misery could have been avoided through proper attention and planning. Although
the Army Corp of Engineers had begged for the funding to complete the levees
that would protect New Orleans in the event of a serious hurricane, it was
denied. Now we learn that even FEMA was subjected to budget cut backs under the
new Homeland Security regime. So where is the $40 billion that was appropriated
to secure our country in the event of a terrorist attack? How does that juicy
tax cut during time of war that Dick Cheney thought his wealthy friends were
entitled to look now?
Here we are fighting wars for oil in the mideast, proposing legislation that
would allow oil drilling in the delicate eco-system of Anwar, however,

Millions of people are at various levels of discovery that the official explanation of 9/11 is a lie. They are at some point in the process of realizing that some clandestine element at the highest levels of our government and military orchestrated a self-inflicted terrorist act to enflame U.S citizens into supporting an aggressive imperial agenda abroad, and a homeland security/police state regime at home as we relinquish our cherished civil liberties.
After the immediate question of Why? comes up in our minds, the next logical question is ? what can I do about it? Part of the big lie we?re in, to which so many have succumbed, is that we can?t do much of anything. There?s just no hope for us, the corruption is too vast and the powers that be are too powerful. If you fall into this description, has it ever occurred to you that this is what our new world order orchestrators want us to believe? While they are so small in number and have us believing we are powerless and without hope for reclaiming our republic, they?ve won because we?ve allowed them to control this debilitating illusion to which we?ve acquiesced.
Are you ready to dispel this illusion of powerlessness? Think about this. There are just four things you must do. Inform yourself, inform others, participate in the democratic process by informing your elected officials what you want, and participate in the group process of enabling progress through organizational actions. Now let?s add some detail.… Continue reading

Burlington– For more than four years, the public has repeatedly been urged to ignore "outrageous" conspiracies theories about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that set in motion the so-called "war on terrorism." However, the official explanation that has been provided — and widely embraced — also requires the acceptance of a theory, one involving a massive intelligence failure, 19 Muslim hijackers under the sway of Osama bin Laden, and the inability of the world's most advanced Air Force to intercept four commercial airplanes.
"A good theory explains most of the relevant facts and is not contradicted," notes David Ray Griffin, who has been examining the available evidence for the past three years and has so far published two books on the subject. This month, Griffin summarized his findings for more than 1,000 people in four well-attended Vermont talks. The bottom line, he informed a packed house in Burlington on Oct. 12, is that "every aspect of the official story is problematic," contradicting the available evidence and defying even the laws of physics.
You may well ask, how can this be true? And, if so, why haven't we heard more about it? The answer to the second question is easy: Mainstream media outlets have consistently declined to examine the highly technical and exhaustively documented case Griffin has developed. That may also sound like a conspiracy theory, but the almost total news blackout of Griffin's Vermont talks suggests that it's an unfortunate fact.

Dear 9/11 Truth Activists,
The New York Times is under fire for letting Judith Miller work as a member of the White House Iraq Group to spread disinformation, and then covering up Miller's role and refusing to fire her. It has become obvious to fair-minded observers that the Times has been part of the Iraq disinformation campaign.
NOW is the time to contact the Times, to urge i's management to "step up to the plate" on 9/11 as part of its need to "repair its reputation" after the Miller scandal.
Please copy the letter below or write your own (please remain respectful) and fax it to the Times, so that the Libby Indictment does not bury Dr. Griffin's challenge in people's minds. Please also email the letter to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Given the indictments handed down this week and continuing investigation on so many fronts, Les asks the question we must each answer for ourselves: "What is it going to take …?"
"We all must be aware that to fail to demand answers to the glaring questions and discrepancies is to accept and endorse the official explanation."
What will YOU do this week?
After two years of the investigation into Plamegate, the latest political upheaval has hit the proverbial fan. The ruthless nature of the Bush Administration's dealings with Joe Wilson for revealing one of numerous monumental lies it's told since the coup d'etat in 2000 can now be clearly seen by all. The retaliation was to expose Wilson's wife's status as a CIA agent, which is to commit treason. This comes from an Administration that promised to restore civility to Washington, DC.
However, the larger context must be considered: This Administration fabricated its rationale for invading Iraq. Every reason was a lie. To create the specter of a "mushroom cloud" threatening our very existence, the president's men ignored the CIA's discrediting of the forgery, based on a lie that Saddam Hussein was seeking 'yellow cake' uranium from Niger. Yet it still wound up in the State of the Union speech as the now infamous 'sixteen words.'
After Joe Wilson wrote an op-ed revealing that lie, the Administration conducted a hit operation on his wife, Valerie Plame, by revealing her identity as a CIA agent. This crime is… Continue reading
10/31/05 The US National Security Agency has kept secret a 2001 finding by its own historian that its officers deliberately distorted critical intelligence during the Tonkin Gulf episode that helped precipitate the Vietnam War.
The historian's conclusion was the first serious accusation that the agency's intercepts were falsified to support the belief North Vietnamese ships attacked US destroyers on August 4, 1964, two days after a previous clash.
Most historians have concluded in recent years there was no second attack, but they have assumed the agency's intercepts were unintentionally misread, not purposely altered. The research by Robert Hanyok, the agency's historian, was detailed four years ago in an in-house article that remains secret, in part because agency officials feared its release might prompt uncomfortable comparisons with the flawed intelligence used to justify the war in Iraq, according to an intelligence official.
Matthew Aid, an independent historian who has discussed Mr Hanyok's Tonkin Gulf research with agency and CIA officials, said he had decided to speak publicly about the findings because he believed they should have been released long ago.
"This material is relevant to debates we as Americans are having about the war in Iraq and intelligence reform," he said.
Mr. Hanyok believed the initial misinterpretation of North Vietnamese intercepts was probably an honest mistake. But after months of detective work in the agency's archives, Mr. Hanyok concluded mid-level agency officials discovered the error almost immediately, but covered it up and doctored documents so that they appeared to provide evidence… Continue reading
Possible Motives Of The Bush Administration – By Dr. David Ray Griffin
The 9/11 Commission understood that its mandate, as we have seen, was to provide "the fullest possible account" of the "facts and circumstances" surrounding 9/11. Included in those facts and circumstances are ones that, according to some critics of the official account of 9/11, provide evidence that the Bush administration intentionally allowed the attacks of 9/11. Some critics have even suggested that the Bush administration actively helped the attacks succeed. In light of the fact that several books have been written propounding such views, including some in English, the Commission's staff, given its "exacting investigative work," would surely have discovered such books. Or if not, the staff would at least have known about a front-page story on this topic in the Wall Street Journal. Readers of this story learned not only that a poll showed that 20 percent of the German population believed the "U.S. government ordered the attacks itself" but also that similar views were held in some other European countries. 1 Also, as we saw in the Introduction, polls show that significant percentages of Americans and Canadians believe that the US Government deliberately allowed the attacks to happen, with some of those believing the Bush administration actually planned the attacks. Knowing that such information is available and such views are held, the Commission, we would assume, would have felt called upon to respond to these suspicions.
An adequate response would contain at least the following elements:… Continue reading

Congress must impeach Bush and Cheney, say Greens, citing White House lawlessness, growing threat to U.S. democracy, and war crimes.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Citing a litany of alleged high crimes and misdemeanors, abuses of power, and violations of the U.S. Constitution, Green Party leaders urged Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney as soon as possible.
"The evidence that President Bush has abused his office and betrayed the trust of the American people is now so overwhelming that failure to undertake impeachment would make Congress even more complicit in this administration's lawlessness," said Nan Garrett, Georgia Green Party co-chair and spokesperson for the National Women's Caucus. "Three more years of Bush and Cheney will do lasting damage to the rule of law and result in even more death and destruction under Bush's reckless policies."
"The Bush Administration blocked an independent probe into 9/11 while making fraudulent statements about the reasons for invading Iraq, and now admits that it spies on American citizens in disregard of legal limits. What more does Congress need before it says enough is enough?" Ms. Garrett added.
The Green Party of the United States called for Congress to commence impeachment of President Bush in July, 2003, after he ordered the invasion of Iraq. The resolution accused the President of numerous deceptions to justify the invasion, as… Continue reading
A hundred years ago it was called "dollar diplomacy." After World War II, and especially after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989, that policy evolved into "dollar hegemony." But after all these many years of great success, our dollar dominance is coming to an end.
It has been said, rightly, that he who holds the gold makes the rules. In earlier times it was readily accepted that fair and honest trade required an exchange for something of real value.
First it was simply barter of goods. Then it was discovered that gold held a universal attraction, and was a convenient substitute for more cumbersome barter transactions. Not only did gold facilitate exchange of goods and services, it served as a store of value for those who wanted to save for a rainy day.
Though money developed naturally in the marketplace, as governments grew in power they assumed monopoly control over money. Sometimes governments succeeded in guaranteeing the quality and purity of gold, but in time governments learned to outspend their revenues. New or higher taxes always incurred the disapproval of the people, so it wasn't long before Kings and Caesars learned how to inflate their currencies by reducing the amount of gold in each coin– always hoping their subjects wouldn't discover the fraud. But the people always did, and they strenuously objected.
This helped pressure leaders to seek more gold by conquering other nations. The people became accustomed to living beyond their means, and enjoyed the circuses and… Continue reading
A Half-Dozen Questions About 9/11 They Don't Want You to Ask
Source: www.counterpunch.com
By WERTHER
The events of September 11, 2001 evoke painful memories, tinged with a powerful nostalgia for the way of life before it happened. The immediate tragedy caused a disorientation sufficient to distort the critical faculties in the direction of retrospectively predictable responses: bureaucratic adaptation, opportunism, profiteering, kitsch sentiment, and mindless sloganeering.
As 9/11, and the report of the commission charged to investigate it, fade into history like the Warren Commission that preceded it, the questions, gaps, and anomalies raised by the report have created an entire cottage industry of amateur speculation–as did the omissions and distortions of the Warren Report four decades ago. How could it not?
While initially received as definitive by a rapturous official press, the 9/11 Report has been overtaken by reality, not only because of unsatisfying content–like all "independent" government reports, it is fundamentally an apology and a coverup masquerading as an exposé–but because we now know more: more about the feckless invasion of Iraq, more about the occupation of Afghanistan and the purported hunt for Osama bin Laden, more about the post-9/11 stampede to repeal elements of the Bill of Rights, more about the rush to create the Department of Homeland Security, an agency to "prevent another 9/11," which, in retrospect, is plainly about cronyism, contracts, and Congressional boodle.
Many of the amateur sleuths of the 9/11 mystery have based their investigations on microscopic forensics regarding the publicly released video footage, or speculations into the physics of impacting aircraft or collapsing buildings.…

Do you remember when Cindy Sheehan was dragged out of the State of The Union Address? Supposedly, it was because of a t-shirt that listed the amount of dead soldiers in Bush's "War On Terror". The real reason probably had to do with the fact that Cindy Sheehan isn't one of President Bush's favorite people. Of course, to make it not seem as bad as it was, they also asked Rep. Bill Young's wife to leave for having a Pro-Bush shirt on that said, "Support The Troops Defending Our Freedom."
Sad, don't you think? In a country that promotes "Freedom Of Speech", to see a woman who lost her son in the Iraq War, being dragged out of the Capitol of all places. Because of a t-shirt no less. It's enough to make you cry.
The press was more than happy to cover Sheehan's experience. What they neglected to tell you, however, was that a man the 9/11 families tried to sue for involvement in the 9/11 attacks, also attended the State Of The Union Address. Al-Faisal.
Al-Faisal, the former head of Saudi Intelligence (who stepped down 10 days before the attacks), was named in a $1 Trillion lawsuit brought forth by 600 family members. They accused him of funding bin Laden's network. The lawsuit was dismissed because a judge decided the U.S. courts lacked jurisdiction over the matter.
I would have rather seen him dragged out the capitol instead of Cindy Sheehan, wouldn't you?
That… Continue reading
In America of the 1980s and '90s, it was extremists on the far-right fringes who believed the country was moving toward "black helicopter" authoritarian rule in Washington, and often blamed big-government liberal Democrats. Now, as a result of just four-plus years of the Bush administration (supposedly anti-big government, conservative Republicans), huge segments of American society, including many in the mainstream middle, wonder what has happened to our democratic republic, our civil liberties, our time-honored system of government.
The Enabling Mantra of 9/11
The Busheviks defend the administration's harsh, sweeping actions as necessary in a "time of war." The U.S. was attacked by forces representing fanatical Islam, this reasoning goes, and the old rules and systems simply don't apply anymore — they are old-fashioned, "quaint." Instead, we are expected to inculcate the "everything-changed-on-9/11″ mantra, the effect of which is to excuse and justify all. Defense of the fatherland comes first and foremost, trumping all other considerations, including the Constitution, checks-and-balances in the three branches of government, separation of powers, the Geneva Conventions, international law, etc. etc. (The Busheviks refuse to believe that one can be muscular in going after terrorists and do so within the law and with proper respect for the Bill of Rights and Constitutional protections of due process.)
Not only do the Busheviks pay no attention to modern history, but they seem to have forgotten how our very nation came into existence and why: Our Founding Fathers rebelled against a despotic British monarch, a George who ran roughshod… Continue reading

03/15/06 "ICH' — — If you were President George W. Bush with all available US troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war with Iran?
Yes, you would.
Bush's determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does not make sense.
First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a country approximately three times the size in area and population.
Second, Iran can respond to a conventional air attack with missiles targeted on American ships and bases, and on oil facilities located throughout the Middle East.
Third, Iran has human assets, including the Shia majority population in Iraq, that it can activate to cause chaos throughout the Middle East.
Fourth, polls of US troops in Iraq indicate that a vast majority do not believe in their mission and wish to be withdrawn. Unlike the yellow ribbon folks at home, the troops are unlikely to be enthusiastic about being trapped in an Iranian quagmire in addition to the Iraqi quagmire.
Fifth, Bush's polls are down to 34 percent, with a majority of Americans believing that Bush's invasion of Iraq was a mistake.
If you were being whipped in one fight, would you start a second fight with a bigger and stronger person?
That's what Bush is… Continue reading
W. David Kubiak thought the 9/11 attacks would be a "wake up call."
"Once you could accept 9/11, you could say, 'I've really got to look at the world again with new eyes,'" he said during a recent phone interview with The Wire .
Kubiak is a member of the steering committee of 911truth.org , a group formed "to investigate, unearth, and widely publicize the full truth surrounding September 11th, 2001."
It's been three years since the start of U.S. military operations in Iraq, and while supporters and detractors of the war continue to debate the causes of and solutions to that conflict, one fact is almost indisputable: the long, bloody journey in Iraq began on Sept. 11, 2001.
I say almost indisputable because, in the world of the 9/11 truth movement, everything from photographic evidence to offhand statements and individual words are up for debate. The term "conspiracy theory" calls to mind images of a spider's web. That's an accurate description for the complex and intricately constructed narratives found in any number of conspiracy theories, but the actual building of conspiracy theories, the steady accumulation of new evidence, new proof, new witnesses, is more like sedimentary rock. A pebble here, a pebble there and, after a number of years, a looming monument to suspicion and paranoia.
But, as they say, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. We've got plenty of reason to be suspicious. Most recently, President George W. Bush has been stumping… Continue reading

This essay was originally delivered as a lecture at Trinity Episcopal Church of Santa Barbara, Saturday, March 25, 2006.
In this essay, I offer a Christian critique of the American empire in light of 9/11, and of 9/11 in light of the American empire. Such a critique, of course, presupposes a discussion of 9/11 itself, especially the question of who was responsible for the attacks. The official theory is that the attacks were planned and carried out entirely by Arab Muslims. The main alternative theory is that 9/11 was a "false flag" operation, orchestrated by forces within the US government who made it appear to be the work of Arab Muslims. …
I will argue that the attacks of 9/11 were false flag attacks, orchestrated to marshal support for a so-called war on terror against Muslim and Arab states as the next stage in creating a global Pax Americana, an all-inclusive empire. I will conclude this essay with its main question: How should Christians in America respond to the realization that we are living in an empire similar to the Roman empire at the time of Jesus, which put him to death for resistance against it.

– 911Truth.org urges 2006 reform candidates to recognize a powerful new constituency.
(Utica, NY) – Although the Bush administration continues to exploit September 11 to justify domestic spying, unprecedented spending and a permanent state of war, a new Zogby poll reveals that less than half of the American public trusts the official 9/11 story or believes the attacks were adequately investigated.
The poll is the first scientific survey of Americans' belief in a 9/11 cover up or the need to investigate possible US government complicity, and was commissioned to inform deliberations at the June 2-4 "9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future" conference in Chicago. Poll results indicate 42% believe there has indeed been a cover up (with 10% unsure) and 45% think "Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks, including whether any US government officials consciously allowed or helped facilitate their success" (with 8% unsure). The poll of American residents was conducted from Friday, May 12 through Tuesday, May 16, 2006. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/- 2.9. All inquiries about questions, responses and demographics should be directed to Zogby International.
According to Janice Matthews, executive director of 911truth.org, "To those who have followed the mounting evidence for US government involvement in 9/11, these… Continue reading

In the dark days of the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt counseled Americans to avoid fear. George W. Bush is his polar opposite. The public's fear is this president's most potent political asset. Perhaps his only asset.
Mr. Bush wants ordinary Americans to remain in a perpetual state of fear — so terrified, in fact, that they will not object to the steady erosion of their rights and liberties, and will not notice the many ways in which their fear is being manipulated to feed an unconscionable expansion of presidential power.
If voters can be kept frightened enough of terrorism, they might even overlook the monumental incompetence of one of the worst administrations the nation has ever known.
Four marines drowned Thursday when their 60-ton tank rolled off a bridge and sank in a canal about 50 miles west of Baghdad. Three American soldiers in Iraq were killed by roadside bombs the same day. But those tragic and wholly unnecessary deaths were not the big news. The big news was the latest leak of yet another presidential power grab: the administration's collection of the telephone records of tens of millions of American citizens.
The Bush crowd, which gets together each morning to participate in a highly secret ritual of formalized ineptitude, is trying to get its creepy hands on all the telephone records of everybody in the entire country. It supposedly wants these records, which contain crucial documentation of calls for Chinese takeout in Terre Haute, Ind., and birthday greetings to Grandma in Talladega, Ala., to help in the search for Osama bin Laden.…Continue reading

Over 500 people in the packed hall applauded eagerly when Dr. Bob Bowman stated he was an advocate of doctor-controlled, single-payer health care for all.
They cheered louder still when the congressional candidate from Florida's 15th District pledged that his first piece of legislation submitted in the U.S. House of Representatives would be articles of impeachment.
But they simultaneously jumped to their feet and roared approval when he leaned over the podium and said he was running with a group of Democrats, Republicans, Greens, Libertarians, Independents and non politicians ".who are all united by one thing. We want to bring our troops home from George Bush's quagmire in Iraq and expose the lies that allowed him to send them there, including 9/11."
Experienced in stumping on the campaign trail, Bowman was more dynamic than many of the speakers at the Chicago conference dubbed, "9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future," but they all adamantly referred to the events of September 11, 2001 as the excuse George Bush needed to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.
At a news conference Friday that kicked off the weekend discussions, Mike Berger, media coordinator for 911truth.org, one of the sponsoring organizations, referred to the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying, "The main justification for these wars are the lies put into the 911 report." Citing bellicose statements made towards Iran by Bush administration officials, Berger added that "the course of history may hinge on getting these facts out."
Barrie Zwicker, Canadian TV journalist and filmmaker, added that the U.S.…

@At All
Clearly there are some clever people in here...
but you being too clever...
Well if i was reading this as a noob I would get bogged down with some of the stuff that is just being said without, SellBox being the context.
I mean i understand what you guys are saying but i feel SellBox is just getting confused.
Its like some are having their own waffle which is cool just... not sure its helping SellBox.
I agree...
but i wanted to avoid the word template.... although you said it well.... I was trying to keep it very simplistic, I also wanted to avoid the word object as well.
Just until he had a good idea of what a class is. Do like the way you described some of it tho.
Do you now know what a class is? As i feel that in order to get anywhere you need to understand this.
Example --> C#

Do you know what i am doing here: explain both sides

Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program (CMTRTP)
The NIH/NCSU Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program (CMTRTP) was established to provide post-graduate research opportunities for veterinary specialists in well-funded laboratories that will lead to a doctoral degree (Ph.D.). The training program emphasizes translational research and provides experience in multidisciplinary research programs.
Fact Sheet
Eligible applicants will have completed their DVM specialty training either at NCSU or another college of veterinary medicine. They will need to be enrolled in the Comparative Biomedical Sciences graduate program. The post-doctoral student will also have to select their major advisor or thesis committee Co-Chair from the Center for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research training faculty (listed below). CMTRTP traineeships are made possible through funds from NCSU and NIH/NCRR.
Trainees are selected and approved by the CMTRTP Executive Committee for a three-year period based on a letter of intent from the applicant, a complete copy of academic transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. Funding for the second and third year is contingent upon satisfactory progress and participation during the preceding year(s) of the fellowship and the availability of funds.
The CMTRTP has the following features:
- Annual Traineeship Stipend: based on NIH post-doctoral pay scale
- Travel Allowance: $1,000 per year
- Tuition and Health Insurance: trainees' in-state portion of tuition, out-of-state tuition remission, and health insurance will be paid for them.
- Coursework: During the first or second year, trainees will participate in a capstone CMTRTP course that emphasizes translational research, animal models of disease and application basic discoveries. On the alternate year, the trainee will participate in the CMTRTP Professional Development course which is designed to address topics essential for a successful career as a veterinary researcher. Every spring, students will take a seminar series course consisting of invited intramural and extramural speakers, trainees presenting work in progress, and trainees presenting current journal articles related to animal models and translational research. Trainees will also take CBS 662: Professional Conduct in Biomedical Research or another suitable graduate program ethics course
- Additionally, trainees will participate in an annual research symposium and will meet yearly with the CMTRTP Director and Co-director to discuss progress and programmatic issues.
CMTRTP Training Faculty
The NIH/NCSU Comparative Medicine and Translational Research Training Program (CMTRTP) training faculty were selected based on membership in the Center for Comparative Medicine and Translational Research, the theme of their research, proven track record in graduate training, particularly experience in post-DVM PhD training, and their ability to obtain extramural funding. The training faculty represent 9 departments in 4 colleges, spanning a broad range of disciplines. They were brought together as CMTRTP Training Faculty because they embrace the multidisciplinary approach to research and share a focus on applying biomedical research discoveries. As such, students in their training groups will share these principles.

The State last week sought a postponement in the trial of MDC-T activists accused of murdering a police officer in Glen View in 2011 so that the Cuban pathologist can be called to testify. The MDC-T activists allegedly killed Inspector Petros Mutedza, who was stationed at Borrowdale Police Station and attached to the police reaction group.
Law officer Mr Edmore Nyazamba told the court that the State was waiting for the Cuban Embassy's response to allow a witness, Dr Alviero-Aguero, a pathologist, to testify.
He said the State was expecting the response within two weeks. However, the defence team led by Ms Beatrice Mtetwa opposed the State's application arguing that it was not justified.
The defence then made an application for bail for the five activists who are still in custody including Tungamirai Madzokere, a councillor in Glen View.
Ms Mtetwa also made an application for variation of bail conditions in respect of those who are on bail.
Mr Nyazamba opposed the applications arguing that circumstances in the case had not changed.
"My Lord, the same court previously made a finding that the State's case against the accused persons in custody was strong.
"The court also made a finding that while the case against those admitted to bail may appear to be weaker, nevertheless, the offence against them remains serious and for that reason appropriate bail conditions have to be imposed.
"However, in respect of those in custody, the reasons why they were denied bail still prevail, the lapse of time has not changed that position. The proposed postponement does not change the circumstances. In fact, it is very necessary for we need the testimony of an expert who perfomed the autopsy on the body of the deceased," he said.
Mr Nyazamba said the State's case had been strengthened by the testimony of Edinah Chihota who testified in camera. Ms Mtetwa accused Mr Nyazamba of deliberately delaying the finalisation of the matter.
She said Mr Nyazamba's actions were putting the justice delivery system into disrepute.
"My Lord, the State lacks seriousness. My learned collegue is failing to note that some of the accused persons are in custody with four of them placed in solitary confinement. Their lives are on a complete standstill for 20 months. It is not only insensitive but a big challenge to them and also against the law.
"The State had promised to get response from the Cuban embassy on December 6 last year, but surprisingly, Mr Nyazamba is telling the court that he gave Mr Ncube from the Foreign Affairs, the necessary documents on February 6 this year for him to forward them to the Cuban Embassy.
"For almost a year, the State has failed to avail this witness. What possible reason is there to believe that in two weeks something might come up?
"The postponement can be a re-look of the bail application. Submissions that they may interfere with witnesses no longer apply at this stage since the State indicated that Dr Aguero was its last witness.
Those who are on bail never defaulted court and the question of them absconding does not arise,"she said.
Justice Chinembiri Bhunu reserved judgement and defered the matter to February 20.
Insp Mutedza died after being attacked by the suspected MDC-T youths on May 29 2011.
He was hit on the head by a brick.
The officer, together with other police officers, had gone to investigate an illegal meeting the youths were holding at Glen View 3 Shopping Centre.
His colleague sustained injuries.

Experts will tell you that introverts are great leaders, yet it still seems like we live in a world designed to revere extroverts, especially in the workplace.

Getting a solid apprenticeship or a college education is almost always a good idea for anyone traveling down the career path. The problem arises when you have to decide between several different options. While anyone with a strong skill set (blue- or white-collar) should be fairly employable, it's just a basic fact that some vocations are more in demand these days than others. It often depends on where, and especially when, you live.

The Coca-Cola Tigers Champions Basketball Clinic was successfully held last Wednesday, 18 July 2007 at the quadrangle-level courts of the Fr Rafael Cortina Sports Center. A project of the Coke Healthy and Active Lifestyle Campaign, the free basketball clinic was participated in by 60 Xavier students.
Mr. Hercules Callanta, Dean of the College of Human Kinetics of University of the Philippines, Diliman, who also heads the Healthy and Active Lifestyle Campaign, and Coach Eric Altamirano led a pool of Coach E Basketball Academy coaches who taught the participants basic basketball drills and skills.
Philippine Basketball Association players from the Coca-Cola Tigers team who graced the event were William Antonio, RJ Rizada, Mike Gavino and Xaverian Joseph Yeo(XS 2001) who is the first Xavier alumnus to play professionally in the PBA.
A free-throw shootout, open to all those who wanted to participate, was conducted before the start of the clinic. This attracted a long line of students vying for the prize awarded for two consecutive free throws. The clinic participants were given a basketball, a training jersey and a certificate of attendance each. The event also featured a lay-up contest, autograph-signing, and a session for participants to pose for photographs with the Coke players.

Billy Joel welcomes New York Senate's approval of ivory banmongabay.com
June 18, 2014
Elephants in Namibia. Photos by Rhett Butler
On Thursday, the legendary hitmaker voiced support for the bill, which would bar the purchase and sale of most elephant ivory in the state.
"I wholeheartedly support the ivory sales ban bill pending in New York State," Joel wrote on his blog.
"I am a piano player. And I realize that ivory piano keys are preferred by some pianists. But a preference for ivory keys does not justify the slaughter of 96 elephants every day," he continued.
"There are other materials which can be substituted for piano keys. But magnificent creatures like these can never be replaced."
"Music must never be used as an excuse to destroy an endangered species. Music should be a celebration of life - not an instrument of death."
Joel's comments came a day after the New York State Senate approved a bill that bans the trade of ivory antiques in the state. The measure came just days after the New York State Assembly passed a similar bill. It now goes to Governor Cuomo.
Conservationists have been pushing the bill as a way to help cut demand for ivory, which is driving the large-scale slaughter of elephants across Asia and Africa. The Wildlife Conservation Society, which is running the "96 Elephants" campaign referenced by Joel, estimates that up to 35,000 elephants are killed each year for the ivory trade. Most of the ivory is consumed in East Asia, but substantial amounts are also purchased in the United States. New York is the largest importer of ivory into the United States, followed by California.
WCS says New York's move may hasten further action at the federal level.
"This state legislation will enhance federal efforts to tighten the ivory trade ban on a federal level," the group said in a statement. "It also sends a clear signal that actions connected to the poaching of elephants and rhinos are serious crimes. They demand tougher penalties which we hope to see in the final state ban."
The sentiment was echoed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
"As the first state to pass a ban like this, New York is paving the way for the rest of the nation to follow," said Elly Pepper, Wildlife Advocate at NRDC. "The brutal and ongoing practice of slaughtering African elephants for their tusks may seem like a world away, but New York is one of the biggest drivers behind the demand. By making it harder for traffickers to sneak illegal ivory onto the market here, we can help ensure that zoos won't be the only place our children can find the elephants in the future."
According to NRDC, recent polling suggests 80 percent of New Yorkers support the ban.

Countdown to Rio: Summer sports week in review
April 28, 2014 14:34 pm
William Fox-Pitt delivered under intense pressure and intense heat to win one of eventing's biggest prizes at Kentucky.
The British number one claimed his third victory at the four-star event on Bay My Hero, following up on previous wins in 2010 and 2012.
Rising star Lauren Kieffer made the Olympic medallist work for his win with a clear round in the decisive jumping but Fox-Pitt, who has yet to decide on his preferred horse for this year's World Equestrian Games, proved ice cool despite the tension.
"I was thinking I was probably settling for second but it's great for him to perform so well," said Fox-Pitt.
"There is still a long way to go until the World Equestrian Games but it's great to have options, even though he's probably the least experienced of my horses."
Rajiv Ouseph won men's singles silver at badminton's European Championship while fellow London 2012 Olympian Imogen Bankier, alongside Bulgarian partner Petya Nedelcheva, won mixed doubles bronze.
Ouseph was looking to become the first British European singles champion for 24 hours but was edged out 21-18, 21-10 to Danish top seed Jan Jorgensen of Denmark in Kazan, Russia.
Lizzie Armitstead retains control of the World Cup leaders jersey after a third consecutive second place in the Flèche Wallone, a massive improvement from her previous best finish, 12th, in one of cycling's toughest one day classics.
Elsewhere, Mark Cavendish showed he had recovered from the stomach virus that has sidelined him since March's Milan-San Remo, winning the opening stage of the Tour of Turkey in Alanya.
"It's the first race after five weeks so you never really know but I'm super happy that I could come here to Tour of Turkey and win the first stage," he said. "Especially after coming back after getting sick."
Meanwhile, Olympic champion Greg Rutherford produced one of the week's stand out performances taking sole control of the British long jump record.
Rutherford shared the previous 8.35 metre mark with Chris Tomlinson but soared to an impressive 8.51m in San Diego, winning the even ahead of American Tyron Stewart.
Rutherford endured an injury-hit 2013 season, rupturing his hamstring at the Diamond League in Paris just a month before the World Championships, where he failed to qualify for the final.
Jodie Stimpson made it back-to-back triathlon World Series victories with a win in Cape Town with British team-mate and former world champion Helen Jenkins taking second. Spain's Javier Gomez once again beat Britain's Jonny Brownlee to gold in the men's race, with Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee absent.
Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre won Britain's only Olympic class medal with a silver in the 470 class at sailing's ISAF World Cup in France.
McIntyre sailed with a broken finger as New Zealand's world and Olympic champions Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie won by 12 points.
"It was a really fantastic week," said McIntyre, whose injury kept her out of the last round of the World Cup series in Majorca.
"We've sailed really well but just started to get a bit tired towards the end of the week as our sailing fitness isn't really there. But we're so pleased – to do so well in spite of that is really brilliant, and we've got lots of work on during May in our training."
However, team manager Stephen Park rued some missed opportunities in other classes - though believes it will come right in time for this year's World Championships.
"There are ups and downs and justifications for all the individual classes, but at the end of the day we would have liked to have thought that we would have come away with more than one medal in the Olympic classes, so there's a little bit of work to go on there," he said.
"But we're still pretty comfortable that we're on track for the Worlds and the test event later on in the year when those things will need to be addressed by then and people will need to deliver the performances that we believe that they're capable of."
British divers celebrated their return to London's Olympic pool with two medals at the FINA World Series.
Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow scooped 10m synchro silver and Rebecca Gallantree and Hannah Starling added 3m synchro bronze.
"We're really pleased - it was a really good competition," said Barrow. "The crowd were so amazing and we enjoyed every second of it.
"Our preparation for this weekend had gone really well so it was nice to go in there feeling relaxed and in a good mood."
Elsewhere, Jack Laugher secured his best result at a World Series as he finished fourth in the 3m springboard but it was a tough event for Olympic bronze medalist Tom Daley.
He secured a season's best in qualifying but struggled with his 'demon dive' - ranking fifth.
"It was a little frustrating with that twisting dive because it's always been my nemesis dive and it's something I'm working on," said Daley.
"If my twister had gone well, I'd have been looking at a bronze medal there probably so it's a little frustrating. An extra 30 points would have put me comfortably up there.
"The rest of my dives are better than they have been for a long time so it's just a matter of getting my twister right now."
Meanwhile, seven British fighters, including former world kickboxing champion Charlie Maddock, won medals at taekwondo's Greek Open while Olympians Naomi Folkard and Larry Godfrey won mixed team bronze at archery's World Cup series in Shanghai.
And Great Britain's women's water polo team pulled off their greatest win with a 9-7 victory over world champions Spain in Manchester.
"You can see how we celebrated, that was like a final for us," said Angie Winstanley-Smith.
"We've been through so much over the last three or four months. It's been horrific.
"We've had to look at our lives totally differently and to come away with a result like that shows you the strength we have and also the strength of character we have. We're not just a water polo team, we're a family."

When North Harford coach Ed Zorn moved star midfielder Keith Smith to forward against Oakland Mills, he took a calculated gamble.
"I was looking for more offense," Zorn said.
Even though Smith scored a goal for the Hawks, his absence at midfield created a vacuum that the Scorpions capitalized upon to win a hotly contested 4-3 game yesterday at Oakland Mills.

A Johnson City woman charged in a 2009 fatal traffic crash will plead guilty to a lesser charge in October, according to statements made in a Washington County courtroom Tuesday.
Rachel M. Proffitt, 26, now stands charged with vehicular homicide by reckless operation of a vehicle that stems from a two-vehicle crash on Conklin Road on July 7, 2009.
The collision killed Misty M. Briggs, 22, of Jonesborough.
"We have a plea agreement," to criminally negligent homicide, Proffitt's attorney, Don Spurrell told Judge Robert Cupp.
Apparently Proffitt fell asleep while driving north on Conklin Road around 8 on the morning of the crash and drifted across the center line into the path of a car driven by Thomas Briggs, of Jonesborough.
Briggs swerved to miss Proffitt's car, but Proffitt also apparently swerved back toward her own lane and the cars crashed at the center line.
Misty Briggs was a front seat passenger in Thomas Briggs' car, and while she was wearing a seat belt, she was killed in the crash.
Proffitt failed to appear at a hearing last year and was arrested, but is now free on bond.
Her plea hearing is now scheduled for Oct. 31.

Sequestration could hurt American intelligence efforts
April 9, 2013 - 10:34 am
Decrease Increase Text size
Budget cuts due to sequestration could have a major negative effect on how well the United States can gather and process intelligence, Federal Times reports.
In a briefing late last week, James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said that the cuts would lead to the nation "accepting greater risk" and, like most other agencies, cause the need for furloughs.

This product is from the 1970s. That's an old formula which Lauder charges $55.00 for. If you think any product from the 70s is worth that kind of money, especially since it was probably priced between $15-$20, if not less, when introduced, then please, by all means, go for it. Loaded with fragrance. There's nothing Swiss or performing about it! PS: I noticed within the ingredients listed here, there are some which I'm certain were not available (ie: dimethicone) when this product was introduced in the 70s. It must have been somewhat reformulated along the way of it's 40+ years of being around. I'll still stick with my opinion stated above as it comes in a non-hygenic bottle (no pump, just a pour out) which of course defeats the purpose of active ingredients (antioxidants) as they are exposed to air each time you unscrew the top. That exposure will decrease the effectiveness of the actives each time they come in contact with air, making them less effective, if at all. This is why skincare in a jar or bottle is worthless; air and light destroy their ingredients effectiveness, not to mention compromising the products hygiene. To spend the kind of money EL charges for anything in a jar or bottle is ridiculous! With these prices, at least insist on a protective, hygenic pump, or move on to something that offers such.

Swiss Performing Extract is both lightweight and deeply nourishing at the same time.
It has a light, milky consistency .... which when applied to freshly cleansed and toned skin, absorbs quickly.
It also deeply nourishes skin. It absorbs into skin effortlessly and leaves skin soft, smooth and healthy. Makes my skin feel like velvet!
It works beautifully under makeup too. And you're either going to love or hate the scent. I love it! It reminds me of the scent of Aveda products .... that herbal, medicinal, hint of pine, natural ingredient scent. :)

OK, I have to give this product a negative review. I read many positive reviews before I rushed out and got it. I have used this cream twice and I am not impressed at all. The product has a smell of medicine. I am not bothered though. Just want to point out in case scent bothers you. What i don't like about it is the fact that it does not hydrate my skin much. After applying it to my face, it feels like a layer of oil/grease floating on the surface of my skin. It doesn't seem to be absorbed into the skin at all. Won't purchase again.

PROS: very emollient and rich, but not too heavy. The texture is kind of like Clinique DDML. Has lots of antioxidants (grapeseed oil is the main ingredient). Not too expensive - $56 CDN for a 100mL bottle....I don't think any high-end moisturizers come in 100mL anymore (most are 30 or 50 mL now).
CONS: strong, somewhat masculine scent (though I personally liked it, and it does fade away). The smell reminds me of Halson Z-14. The worst thing: I have never ever broken out so badly to a product in my life. I have never seen pimples so big, either. I figured I could use this as a body lotion instead - and I broke out on my body! - something that has never happened before.
If you don't mind the scent and don't break out from this, it is a good buy - I recommend asking for a sample (which, of course, they won't give you) or asking about the return policy first.

The best Estee Lauder moisturizing cream ever made and probably the best ever of any cream. My skin always looks so beautiful after I put this on. Instantly looks younger. They should re-introduce this in an ad campaign because if you are under the age of 30 you probably don't even know they sell this.

A great moisturizer! However, I had to retun it becsuse of the extremely perfumed scent. It burned my eyes like crazy. With better marketing, and fragrance free and maybe some sunscreen with product would be a win.

I wish I had started using this sooner. I am in my mid 40's and my skin is starting to get dryer and the lines are coming. I used to use Estee Lauder skincare products in my early 20's and wish I had kept using them because they really do work. I just went back to them recently as I noticed my skin was looking older, toneless, bland, and tired. I thought it was just me and a part of getting older, but it was the products I was using. I was relying on drugstore anti-aging products and cleansers and watching my skin look older and older. So I decided to give Estee Lauder a try again and here is what I've found works for me.
I use Swiss Performing Extract at night over Time Zone anti-wrinkle cream and Night Repair. I use Advanced Night Repair for eyes, too. After I use these together, I kid you not, my skin looks flawless. My wrinkles are less prominent and my skin glows. I was just using Time Zone as my night moisturizer but found it wasn't enough so I added SPE and man, what a difference. That stuff is liquid gold.
I have found that the key is to use a hydrating lotion plus an anti-wrinkle cream together. Anti-wrinkle creams are not hydrating enough for me and hydration is the key to glowing skin.
During the day I use Idealist, then Time Zone anti-wrinkle SPF on top of that, with the Advanced Night Repair for eyes under my eyes (you're supposed to use this stuff night and day, even if it says it's a Night Repair). Again, flawless, glowing skin and minimal wrinkles. Sometimes if I'm feeling really dried out I'll use SPE as well. When I apply make-up on top of all this, it's gorgeous. My husband even told me yesterday that my skin looked really good. My skin even looks good without make-up and I've NEVER been able to say that about it, even when I was in my 20's.
I have noticed in the three months I've started this routine that my skin has definitely changed and looks younger. I used to think that the more expensive skin care lines were full of it, that they are the same as what you can buy at a drug store, that lotion is lotion no matter who is selling it. I don't think that applies anymore in most cases.
This review is for Swiss Performing Extract and I would say that it is a definite staple in my skin care routine, it has made my skin's appearance change, and all the women who have used it for years and who are now in the 50's and 60's and don't look like it are onto something.
This is a must have for maturing skin.

I gave this a 5 star rating because it never fails to moisturize my dry winter skin. We have a wood burning stove that dries my skin and makes me stay flaky all winter, but this really helps to combat the flakes and does it's job well. This is heavily fragranced, so if you are sensitive to strongly scented products this would bother you. I do like the nice heavy glass bottle....just feels substantial and elegant. I know that tubes are more hygienic but what can I say? I love the feel of heavy glass!

I bought this because of my mother.
My mother has used this consistently for the last 20 years, has never worn sunscreen in her life and her skincare routine is basic and fuss free. At 60, her skin is baby-soft, wrinkle-free and radiant, and she wholly attributes that to this cream. This is, as others have said, SO hard to find because for some odd reason, EL seems to be ashamed of it....or at least ageist towards it. Why they should push other, lesser (IMO) products and hide this away like a dirty secret, I don't know. All I know is that this is an incredibly light but emollient lotion that brightens up my complexion in an instant, with or without make up. It makes my (oily) skin feel soft, dewy and hydrated. It doesn't break me out like some modern creams do, it doesn't burn or tingle or perform any so-called 'miracles'. It just does what it's supposed to do.
The bottle is lovely, heavy and elegant - a true classic. And the fragrance (for me) is incredible, not least because it reminds me of my childhood watching my mother apply this nightly. I have just turned 26 this year and have started regularly applying this, in the hope that, in 20 years from now, my skin too will be as radiant and well-maintained as my mother's.

ELECTRICITY producer, Kengen, said on Thursday it planned to raise Sh30 billion via a 20-year bond to build geothermal power plants.
The firm said the capital raising was still in its initial stages and it expected to seek approval from regulator Capital Markets Authority in a few months. In September, Kengen invited bids for the construction of geothermal plants with a 560 megawatt capacity.
Outgoing Managing Director Eddy Njoroge said on Thursday that Kengen needed about Sh43.5 billion in the next five years to raise electricity supply to 3,000 MW to meet the growing power needs of east Africa's biggest economy. Kenya is the first country in Africa to tap the vast hot steam in the earth's crust.

AoC is all show and no go.
We are haters of it because like you, we spent at least $50 on the retail game and at least $15 a month for a few months to give them time to fix things. We also may have beta tested it. A ton of features that were supposedly revolutionary, they didn't even include at launch or were too bugged out to be useful. The game was and still is not ready for launch. The investors just wanted to see a turn around on their money and forced the game out before it was ready.
WoW IS flawless in comparison to any other MMO out there except perhaps LOTRO. Developers like Funcom are too ignorant to realize that's what they need to compete with, a polished product. You can't release something half-assed and expect it to be competitive. The graphics and yearning for something new is what caused it to become popular so quickly, now people see how shallow of a game it is and how the developers are clueless, they aren't interested.
I really wish I could return this pile of **** and get my money back.
