According to Computerworld, Mozilla has acknowledged that it falsely accused SourceTec Software Co. of infecting a Firefox add-on with attack code.
As we reported on our Network Security Edge site, Mozilla claimed that Sothink Web Video Downloader 4.0, created by SourceTec, and all versions of Master Filer were infected with Trojan horses. The company now says it was wrong about SoThink:
We've worked with security experts and add-on developers to determine that the suspected Trojan in Version 4.0 of Sothink Video Downloader was a false positive and the extension does not include malware.
However, Mozilla reiterated that Master Filer does contain a Trojan.

Ypsilanti, MI (Sports Network) - Glenn Bryant scored 15 points as the Eastern Michigan Eagles outlasted the Western Michigan Broncos in overtime, 50-49, in a Mid-American Conference tilt at the Convocation Center.
Daylen Harrison added 13 points for EMU (14-15, 7-7 MAC), which has won consecutive contests after dropping its previous two.
Shayne Whittington registered 11 points and 11 rebounds in 41 minutes for WMU (18-10, 9-5), which would have clinched the MAC's West Division crown with a win.
EMU led 23-18 at halftime despite shooting just 1-of-6 from behind the arc. The Broncos missed both of their free throws attempts in the period.
With 1:36 remaining in the contest, Derek Thompson hit a triple to knot things up at 42-42. Defense prevailed from that point on as neither team managed another basket in regulation. Bryant's layup attempt missed at the buzzer and five more minutes would be necessary to decide the outcome.
An old fashioned three-point play by Whittington put WMU ahead 47-46 with 2:36 left in the extra session, but Bryant responded with a jumper and two J.R. Sims free throws put the Eagles ahead by three with 29 seconds left. Nate Hutcheson then knocked down a short jumper to cut the deficit to 50-49. EMU twice missed the front end of a one-and-one at the foul line, but WMU was unable to take advantage.
EMU scored 17 points off turnovers off of 16 WMU turnovers.

Latest Player Updatesclose
Chris Sale
Tue Jan 31, 2012 1:06 pm The White Sox debated Sale's role heading into last season, but he ended up being used in various relief roles. Manager Ozzie Guillen wasn't afraid to use Sale as a closer, but Sergio Santos received the nod far more often. Sale still showed dominant stuff when he was on the mound, and the White Sox brass made it known that he will likely join the starting rotation this year. The key for Sale in the new role will be harnessing his control, which he started to do in the second half of last season, with a 3.73 K/BB ratio and 0.84 WHIP after the All-Star break.
Fantasy Source Spin: Sale is a high-risk, high-reward proposition entering the season, but the strikeout potential alone makes him worth an investment as a starter.
Source: Fantasy Source
Tue Feb 8, 2011 1:40 pm Though his power has been up and down in his minor-league career, Desmond Jennings has every tool necessary to be an impact player. He should get a chance to start in left field for Tampa Bay. Much like the player he's replacing (Carl Crawford), Jennings has the potential to hit .300 and blast 15-20 home runs.
Fantasy Source Spin: Jennings likely will hold on to his starting job with good defense and remain fantasy-relevant with 40-plus steals, much like a pre-injury Jacoby Ellsbury. ETA: 2011. (David A. Arnott)
Source: Fantasy Source
Tue Feb 8, 2011 1:39 pm Chris Sale was promoted to the majors in 2010 despite just 10.1 minor-league innings. Over the final two months of the season, he might have been the White Sox' best reliever. He had 1.93 ERA with four saves, 32 strikeouts and 10 walks in 23.1 innings. This season, the big lefty will likely begin the year as a starter and remain in that role until Jake Peavy is back at full health. When Peavy returns, Sale likely will resume his role in the bullpen.
Fantasy Source Spin: Sale is an elite pitching prospect who deserves to be on a roster in either role, and in deeper leagues he may even be a worthwhile source of strikeouts as a middle reliever. ETA: 2011. (David A. Arnott)

Women drivers now outnumber men on U.S. roads
A University of Michigan study finds that women with driver's licenses outnumber men for the first time.
According to a study by the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), for the first time more women than men have driver's licenses in the U.S.
The study, which looked at gender trends in driver licensing between 1995 and 2010, found that in 1995 men of all ages with driver's licenses marginally outnumbered women, 89.2 million to 87.4 million. But by 2010, 105.7 million women had licenses, compared with 104.3 million men.
The study also found that the number of both male and female teens and young adults with driver's licenses is declining, although the drop is sharper among young men. It noted that the share of men ages 25 to 29 years old with driver's licenses declined 10.6 percent over the past 15 years, whereas the share of women of the same age with driver's licenses dropped by about half that amount, 4.7 percent.
Michael Sivak, the co-author of the study, told the Associated Press that Internet usage may be partly to blame for the drop in young drivers, especially men.
Another study by UMTRI published earlier this year discovered that countries with higher Internet usage have a lower driver's licensing rate among teens and young adults. "There is some suggestive evidence that Internet contact is reducing the need for personal contact," Sivak said.
The Internet isn't the only technology to blame. Some young people want to drive less and use public transportation more, some researchers claim. Texting while driving is illegal in most states — and dangerous on any road — but teens and young people can text or surf the Internet on a portable device while riding on a bus or train. Consequently, some public transit systems have seen substantial increases in ridership.
The only age group in which male drivers still slightly outnumber women is under 44, but that's simply because young men outnumber young women in the general population. Each year, 105 boys are born for every 100 girls in the U.S. But women outnumber men later in life because they live longer, with an average lifespan of approximately 80 years for women, compared with about 75 years for men.
The study notes that the gender reversal on the road could have a significant influence on the types of cars that will be produced in the future as well as other factors related to personal transportation. "The changing gender demographics will have major implications on the extent and nature of vehicle demand, energy consumption and road safety," Sivak said.
Specifically, he noted that women are more apt than men to purchase smaller, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles, and are also likely to drive less and have a lower fatality rate per distance. Better buy that muscle car while you still can.

That is generation X, the so called "lost generation", to which I also belong, and I am sorry to say, our predecessors were right: we are mostly a retarded generation, attempting to dumb down generation Y and make retards out of them too.
Generation Y is an urban, modern, connected generation. It does not want pickup trucks and SUV's because they mostly live in the cities because of the economic situation (brought on in large part by generation X). And in cities, small cars are much better than cumbersome, fuel-inefficient pickup trucks and SUV's.
Just try parking a lumbering SUV in a strict city center... and we have not even touched upon the fuel inefficiency of such a huge hunk-o'-metal in city context.
51% of Americans live in cities whereas 49% don't. If you're in the 49%, odds are that you don't have a public transit system consisting of buses, trains, subways or even sidewalks. In the 49% area of living, you have no choice but to get your driving license irreguardless of your gender or generation.... unless you're reying others to drive you places....of course probably outside of the range of a "city" designed electric vehicle. It seems more and more automakers are leaving the urban folks behind with their vehicles and favoring more city dwellers with their designs. The urban dwellers are then left with outdated fuel guzzlers that although needed for farming, ranching, etc....could be made more fuel efficient and much, much cheaper due to less technology required.
Heh heh... I think that sends a very clear message to auto manufacturers in the United States:
"keep building huge pickup trucks, minivans and SUV's, and in a few decades you will be out of customers."
"Better buy that muscle car while you still can."
Only if it has a V8 clean diesel and a manual transmission. Oh, it does not? Well then, they can keep their "muscle" car. Good luck to auto manufacturers with that, and do let me know how that works out for them.

Impact Of Us And European Biofuel Policies On Forest Carbon
AbstractThis paper develops a dynamic, regional analysis of the effects of US and European biofuel mandates on land use, forestry stocks, and carbon emissions. The results suggest that these mandates may cause an additional 23-26 million hectares of forestland losses globally, but additional carbon emissions of 1.2 – 1.6 billion t CO2. The estimates are found to be sensitive to the elasticity parameter on the land supply function in the model, with the higher elasticity estimates associated with larger carbon losses. The regional analysis turns out to be quite important, because some regions end up gaining forestland and increasing carbon stocks. The regional and dynamic effects have been missed by most other noteworthy analyses of the induced land use effects of biofuel policies, potentially leading the authors to overstate the impacts by 3-6 times.

I at one point had been so excited for the thrill and freedom of living by myself. I am now however, quickly realizing that the only thrill is having the shit scared out of me by the occasional arachnid and the freedom to realize I'm the only person around to kill it.
This poses as a real problem for me, considering I have been struggling with severe arachnophobia over the course of my lifetime.
Or at least it WAS posing as a real problem for me,
A day after moving into my house I had the pleasure of running into a fair sized black widow beside my fridge. This is bad news for anyone with a fear of the eight-legged because now not only does the mother fucker have eight legs, it's got venom that could kill me.
I contemplated calling my landlord and getting her to deal with it, I contemplated calling a guy friend over to deal with it. I even contemplated calling an exterminator. I could not, though, shake that pressing feeling that if I were to do any one of those things, my family and friends would hang their heads in shame over just how co dependent on others I was.
This brought on a whole new mind set. Ex boyfriend from my previous blog was supposed to help me with all of my moving endeavors. He was supposed to not only help me move, but help me get settled in. He was going to stay the first several nights with me so that I wouldn't lose my ever lovin' mind over the thought a burglar might come in and shiv me with a pencil.
In the end, we broke up and I was left very alone to do all of these things by myself. Trying to get over the idea of a pencil shiv is no tough feat, my friends. And then I got to thinking, hell, if I can get over the idea of a pencil shiv, I can sure as hell kill the god damned spider beside my fridge!
I marched back into my kitchen, just to watch the black widow's red hourglass disappear behind the appliance.
Well fuck.
I put all thoughts of the little beast aside and went about getting settled into my house. As I was walking through my hallway I saw a much smaller, no where near as threatening spider on the wall. In an act of pure survivalist instinct I grabbed a shoe from the nearest corner and smacked the bitch repeatedly until it left a nice stain upon the paint. I was so impressed with myself that I left it there as a trophy for the next twenty four hours. The next day, I was building my new desk when from under the box popped another eight legged freak. I almost felt bad for this one. I showed it no mercy. I picked up a metal piece from the desk, without thinking and went Rambo style on it's ass. The killing was so savage, I almost felt as though I should have a proper burial for the little guy to show him a little respect.
With my new found confidence in killing arachnids, I decided it would be a shame to leave such a dangerous creature behind my fridge. I planned a stakeout. I made some grilled cheese sandwiches and sat down with my laptop, getting comfortable while I waited for the beast. I had all my tools ready; paper towel, fly swatter, hairspray. (I'm not sure if anyone else has realized this before, but hairspray is fabulous for killing insects. Freezes them right up. It's fucking genius.) As I waited for the black widow to appear, I decided to partake in some research to see what kind of battle I was getting myself into.
As I read, I discovered black widows are very timid spiders. They only bite when threatened and apart from that, will remain the their dark damp little home to stay.
I then started to feel bad for him…or…her. The spider had probably been living here long before I moved in and then I infiltrated his home.
I then realized how batshit crazy I was starting to sound. I spent the last three days either ruthlessly killing, or staking out arachnids. I hadn't left my home or had any fresh air.
All of the "thrill" and "freedom" of living by myself was starting to intoxicate me and not in the "just-right-amount-of-tipsy-fuck-I-love-vodka" way, but in the 'holy-shit-word-vomit-I-mixed-my-alcohol-I-love-tequila-and-Britney-Spears-and-I-should-be-best-buds" way.
I stood up from my kitchen table, ate my last bite of grilled cheese and saluted that spider.
Even men can't make a woman that crazy.
I eventually got some fresh air and decided to deal with the black widow behind my fridge. He/she could stay there. Considering how lonely I had been it was nearly comforting to know I wasn't the only living being in my house. I had to stop myself there, because I knew that if I got on the idea of how many other living beings might be in my home, I'd go even crazier. And that's just not good for anybody.

I suppose its my own fault, but I've bought a brand new all-in-one PC that came with Windows 8 for someone here. An i3 with 4gb of ram and nothing much installed, but thanks to buggy old Windows 8 its effectively unusable for 15-20 minutes or so after logging in. This is offline, not joined to a domain! The task manager shows 100% disk activity - when this finally calms down the system is responsive.
With this sort of crappy performance on a brand new out of the box pc, I wonder if this os was ever tested before release!
I've checked and is only seems to be the 'system' process that is hammering the system. I could delve deeper, but you know what - I shouldn't have to, this should be making me think differently about W8 but all its done is manage to convince me even more that it wasn't release ready.

We have two new letters and an article at the Journal of 9/11 Studies.
The article by Jérôme Gygax and Nancy Snow is titled "9/11 and the Advent of Total Diplomacy: Strategic Communication as a Primary Weapon of War." Here's an excerpt.
"The 9/11 attacks were used to justify an institutional revolution meant to complete a process of integration and coordination of all the assets of US national power through a strategic communication (SC) campaign deployed on a global scale. The 'Global War on Terror' (GWOT) nurtured a narrative of crisis associated with this unprecedented public education effort. In order to sell its approaches, the United States government relied on a network of 'experts': military veterans, high‐ranking officers such as Admirals as well as professional journalists and academics who contributed to forging a consensus, or, as Michel Foucault would call it, a 'regime of truth' that claims a certain interpretation to be right and true, while ignoring or discrediting critics and dissenting narratives."
One letter is from Paul Schreyer and is called "Update: Anomalies of the Air Defense on 9/11." Schreyer writes:
"Miles Kara insists that these were unrelated events. He says there is nothing on the tapes indicating a correlation and he points out that the Langley jets also made no attempt to change their altitude to get closer to the 'Doomsday plane' while flying southwest. So it´s possible that Kara is right here. However one still can only wonder about the series of anomalies… Continue reading

The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 29, No. 1, July 29, 2013
For almost two centuries American government, though always imperfect, was also a model for the world of limited government, having evolved a system of restraints on executive power through its constitutional arrangement of checks and balances.
Since 9/11 however, constitutional practices have been overshadowed by a series of emergency measures to fight terrorism. The latter have mushroomed in size, reach and budget, while traditional government has shrunk. As a result we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.1
More and more, it is becoming common to say that America, like Turkey before it, now has what Marc Ambinder and John Tirman have called a deep state behind the public one.2 And this parallel government is guided in surveillance matters by its own Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which according to the New York Times, "has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court."3 Thanks largely to Edward Snowden, it is now clear that the FISA Court has permitted this deep state to expand surveillance beyond the tiny number of known and suspected Islamic terrorists, to any incipient protest movement that might challenge the policies of the American war machine.…Continue reading

The U.S. government has turned to 9/11 again in order to justify its program of spying on all Americans and to support a new, expanded war in Syria. Yet as Americans are distracted by these ongoing crimes, the deception behind the origin of the War on Terror is being more fully revealed.
Were the crimes of September 11, 2001 solely the work of Osama bin Laden and nineteen troubled young Arabs, or were more powerful people involved? After a decade of investigation Kevin Ryan, the co-editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, offers an evidence-based analysis of nineteen other suspects.
With the support of victims' families and leading 9/11 researchers, Another Nineteen looks at who was in position to accomplish major elements of the crimes that have yet be explained. Detailed evidence is presented that reveals how each of the alternative suspects had the means, motive and opportunity to accomplish one or more aspects of the 9/11 attacks.
"Finally a comprehensive and meticulously researched book that thoroughly details what occurred before and on 9/11. Without a doubt, Another Nineteen should be required reading for those who want the real story." – Robert McIlvaine, father of Bobby McIlvaine, who was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11
"Kevin Ryan has written a book that reminds us that the attacks of September 11, 2001 and their details have never really been investigated. Kevin has laid out the historical framework in a way that has never been… Continue reading
The pervasive news surrounding the confirmation hearing of John Brennan, Obama's nominee for CIA director, is paralleled by another, related story that has been largely ignored by the U.S. media. That is the story of the man called Abu Zubaydah, whose alleged torture testimony, obtained by the CIA while Brennan was the head of the agency's Terrorist Threat Center, built the foundation for the official account of 9/11. This week I spoke to Lee Hamilton, former vice-chairman of the 9/11 Commission, about the serious problems that the government's new stance on Zubaydah creates for the 9/11 Commission Report.
As stated in my last article on the subject, Zubaydah is at the center of an unraveling of the official account of the 9/11 attacks.[1] His extensive torture at the hands of the CIA during Brennan's tenure, which included at least 83 water-boarding sessions, hanging the man naked from the ceiling, slamming him against a concrete wall, and other atrocious experimental techniques, was said to produce valuable evidence about al Qaeda. However, the government now claims that Zubaydah was never a member or associate of al Qaeda and therefore he could not have known any of the information that the 9/11 Commission attributed to him.
From the start of our conversation, Hamilton told me that he was having trouble remembering Zubaydah. That was odd considering that an article he and Thomas Kean wrote for the New York Times in 2008, describing how the CIA obstructed the 9/11 investigation, referred several times… Continue reading

[Updated 1/21/12 to correct figures 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c, originally uploaded without study author's notations.]
When major shocks occur at the Earth's surface or at depth, waves of different types, magnitudes and speeds may move out from the source location. Such waves can be detected by seismometers located at recording stations, and the data from the recordings can be analyzed to learn many details of the source events. Seismic signals were recorded at stations in New York and four neighboring states on September 11, 2001 during the period when the North and South Towers (WTC1 and WTC2, respectively) were struck by airliners and collapsed, as well as during the collapse of Building 7 of the WTC, which had not been hit by a plane.
Data from the Palisades, NY recording station, located 34 km north-north-east of Manhattan, published by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO), provide the most detailed seismic waveforms for analysis, particularly for the determination of the locations (aerial, surface, or subsurface) and timing of the events that created the seismic waves.
Seismologists have been puzzled in their analysis of signals recorded for the events at the World Trade Center, as the contradictions are significant. They are particularly intrigued by the presence of seismic "peaks" before the collapses. This text focuses on the study of the seismic signals from Palisades. The new interpretation presented here renders the assertions of the seismic analysis of the events at… Continue reading

There are many questions to ask about the war in Afghanistan. One that has been widely asked is whether it will turn out to be "Obama's Vietnam."1 This question implies another: Is this war winnable, or is it destined to be a quagmire, like Vietnam? These questions are motivated in part by the widespread agreement that the Afghan government, under Hamid Karzai, is at least as corrupt and incompetent as the government the United States tried to prop up in South Vietnam for 20 years.
Although there are many similarities between these two wars, there is also a big difference: This time, there is no draft. If there were a draft, so that college students and their friends back home were being sent to Afghanistan, there would be huge demonstrations against this war on campuses all across this country. If the sons and daughters of wealthy and middle-class parents were coming home in boxes, or with permanent injuries or post-traumatic stress syndrome, this war would have surely been stopped long ago. People have often asked: Did we learn any of the "lessons of Vietnam"? The US government learned one: If you're going to fight unpopular wars, don't have a draft — hire mercenaries!
There are many other questions that have been, and should be, asked about this war, but in this essay, I focus on only one: Did the 9/11 attacks justify the war in Afghanistan?… Continue reading

As Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other alleged 9/11 conspirators go to trial, the corporate media's embargo on the truth about the Bush years will be under great strain.
Media commentary on the upcoming 9/11 trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has raised concern that state secrets may be divulged, including details about how the Bush administration used torture to extract evidence about al-Qaeda.
"I think that we're going to shine a light on something that a lot of people don't want to look at" is how American Civil Liberties Union attorney Denney LeBoeuf put it, according to The New York Times on Saturday.
No problem, says Attorney General Eric Holder, who claims to have "great confidence" that other evidence — apart from what may have been gleaned from the 183 times Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded, for example — will suffice to convict him.
Maybe so, But what the Fawning Corporate Media (or FCM) have so far neglected is the likelihood that the testimony will be so public that they will have to break their studied silence about why Sheikh Mohammed and his associates say they orchestrated the attacks of 9/11.
For reasons that are painfully obvious, the FCM have done their best to ignore or bury the role that Israel's repression of the Palestinians has played in motivating the 9/11 attacks and other anti-Western terrorism.
It is not like there is no evidence on this key issue. Rather, it appears that the Israel-Palestine connection is pretty much kept off limits for discussion.…Continue reading

LOS ANGELES: The CIA has paid millions of dollars to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) since 9/11, accounting for as much as one-third of the foreign spy agency's annual budget, says a media report.
The ISI also collected "tens of millions of dollars through a classified CIA programme", which pays for the capture or killing of wanted militants, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday citing current and former US officials.
An intense debate has been triggered within the US government due to "long-standing suspicions that the ISI continues to help Taliban extremists who undermine US efforts in Afghanistan and provide sanctuary to al-Qaida members in Pakistan".
But US officials have continued to make the payments as ISI's assistance is considered critical: "Almost every major terrorist plot this decade has originated in Pakistan's tribal belt, where ISI informant networks are a primary source of intelligence."
The report went on to say that the payments to Pakistan are authorised under a covert programme initially approved by then president Bush and continued under President Obama.
The LA Times article mentioned is available here: CIA says it gets its money's worth from Pakistani spy agency: It has given hundreds of millions to the ISI, for operations as well as rewards for the capture or death of terrorist suspects. Despite fears of corruption, it is money well-spent, ex-officials say.
And for more reading on the ISI connection to 9/11 (and utter failure by the 9/11… 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
Cheney said in an interview on Fox News:
"On the question of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9-11, there was never any evidence to prove that," he told the Fox host. "There was "some reporting early on … but that was never borne out… [President] George [Bush] … did say and did testify that there was an ongoing relationship between al-Qaeda and Iraq, but no proof that Iraq was involved in 9-11."
How important is Cheney's admission?
Well, 5 hours after the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld said "my interest is to hit Saddam" .
He also said "Go massive . . . Sweep it all up. Things related and not."
And at 2:40 p.m. on September 11th, in a memorandum of discussions between top administration officials, several lines below the statement "judge whether good enough [to] hit S.H. [that is, Saddam Hussein] at same time", is the statement "Hard to get a good case." In other words, top officials knew that there wasn't a good case that Hussein was behind 9/11, but they wanted to use the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to justify war with Iraq anyway.
Moreover, "Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the [9/11] attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative… Continue reading
This episode of Visibility 9-11 welcomes back to the program Kyle Hence, founder of 9-11 Citizens Watch and producer of the excellent documentary 9-11 Press for Truth. Included is a brief discussion about the film as well as a new film Kyle is working on based on footnote #44 in Chapter 6 of the 9-11 Commission Report. A press release from the September 11th Advocates reads in part:
"In July 2004, when the 9/11 Commission released its Final Report, we read with enormous interest, Chapter 6 – "From Threat to Threat", including footnote #44. Footnote #44 details an instance where a CIA desk officer intentionally withheld vital information from the FBI about two of the 9/11 hijackers who were inside the United States. This footnote further states that the CIA desk officer covered-up the decision to withhold said vital information from the FBI. Finally, footnote #44 states that the CIA desk officer could not recall who told her to carry out such acts."
Also included in this discussion are the circumstances surrounding the historic national premier of 9-11 Press for Truth on a major market PBS station. On June 3, 2009 at 7:00pm, 9-11 Press for Truth will be shown on KBDI, Channel 12 in Denver Colorado. This historic broadcast will feature in-studio interviews during the broadcast with Kyle Hence, Bob McIlvaine, and a representative of Colorado 9-11 Visibility. As has been the case for the past couple of years, Colorado 9-11 Visibility will also be manning… Continue reading

Zelikow made the claim he was not involved in the initial stages of the dispute in response to an allegation made by commission staffer John Azzarello and relayed by Shenon. After the staff investigators drafted a memo for the commissioners in early April 2004 outlining why they thought NORAD and FAA officials had deliberately lied to them to overstate the military's readiness during the attacks, Zelikow "just buried that memo," according to Azzarello. In response, Zelikow claimed that he had not even known of the issue at the start. The implication was that, as he had not known of it, it could not be him that was orchestrating–or even involved in–a dispute between the staff investigators and the commission's lawyers, Daniel Marcus and Steve Dunne.
However, the newly found e-mail chain shows Zelikow did know of the issue in April, raising the question as to why he falsely told Shenon he did not. Zelikow is not known to be linked to the FAA, but, if the commission had referred the matter to the Justice Department and it had started a perjury investigation against NORAD officials, this would certainly have had the potential to embarrass his friends at the Pentagon. Zelikow is alleged to have husbanded the issue to ensure a less potentially embarrassing referral to the inspectors general of the FAA and Defense Department, who in the end blamed the false statements on innocent mistakes and poor logkeeping.
Zelikow wrote to… Continue reading

Remember Star Wars? Do you remember the Pentagon's Strategic Defense Initiative to build a massive missile defense system that raised so much controversy during the Reagan and first Bush years? 130 billion of our tax dollars were poured into developing that system. It was designed to detect and intercept missiles fired from an unknown destination traveling at well over 10 times the speed of a commercial airliner, and to shoot them down in 15 minutes or less, before they reached their US targets.
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) website, "a defensive system may need to hit a warhead smaller than an oil drum that is traveling above the atmosphere at speeds greater than 13,000 miles per hour." The CBO report states that missile defense and intercept systems must take down an ICBM in a matter of minutes or it is all over.
You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an important question here. If these sophisticated military systems were designed to detect missiles fired from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere 600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?
This question applies especially to… Continue reading

How many times has this happened to you? You are explaining to someone some of the rational, logical reasons why the official story of 9/11 can't be true, perhaps explaining how WTC 7 fell in the exact manner of a professionally planned controlled demolition — a job which would typically take weeks to prepare — when out comes a 'thought stopper' phrase like:
"That's just another conspiracy theory !" or …
"Do you also believe in Big Foot and tin foil hats?"
Or perhaps the person gets angry and/or agitated. Facts no longer matter at that point, and you can tell the person does not want to hear any more. For example, the following response came from someone after they were given a 20-minute summary of 9/11 Truth information:
"I wouldn't believe that, even if it were true!"
That reaction defies all logic and reason. But it clearly illustrates just how irrational some peoples' defenses can be. Here are a few more honest responses/defenses:
"As long as my wife and kids are fine and we can live the life style we have, the truth is, I don't really care what happened on 9/11." "I would not want to live in a world where such a thing could be true." "You can't expect someone to listen to information that turns their world upside down." "I'm not sure I want to know. If this is true, then up would be down and down would be up. My life would… Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE: Former 9/11 Commission Chief Philip Zelikow on Allegations
He Secretly Allowed Karl Rove & White House to Influence 9/11 Probe
Earlier in the week, we spoke to Philip Shenon, author of "The Commission:
The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation." Shenon suggested
that Philip Zelikow–the executive director of the 9/11 Commission–sought
to minimize the Bush administration's responsibility for failing to
prevent the September 11th attacks. Shenon also revealed that Karl Rove repeatedly
called Zelikow during the probe. Today Zelikow responds in his first broadcast
interview since the publication of Shenon's book.

Many Americans are content with the 9/11 Commission Report, but the two chairmen of the commission, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton are not. Neither was commission member Max Cleland, a US Senator who resigned from the 9/11 Commission, telling the Boston Globe (November 13, 2003): "This investigation is now compromised." Even former FBI director Louis Freeh wrote in the Wall Street Journal (Nov. 17, 2005) that there are inaccuracies in the commission's report and "questions that need answers."
Both Kean and Hamilton have twice stated publicly, once in their 2006 book, Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission, and again in the January 2, 2008, New York Times, that there are inaccuracies in their report and unanswered–or mis-answered–questions.
On the second day of this new year, Kean and Hamilton accused the CIA of obstructing their investigation: "What we do know is that government officials decided not to inform a lawfully constituted body, created by Congress and the President, to investigate one of the greatest tragedies to confront this country. We call that obstruction."
In their book, Kean and Hamilton wrote that they were unable to obtain "access to star witnesses in custody who were the only possible source for inside information about the 9/11 plot."
The only information the commission was permitted to have about what was learned from interrogations of alleged plot ringleaders, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, came from "thirdhand" sources. The commission was not permitted to… Continue reading

The official story of 9/11 is riddled with internal contradictions. One of these contradictions involves the question of how long President Bush remained in classroom in Sarasota, Florida, on the morning of 9/11.
Bush was there to publicize his education policy by being photographed listening to students read. He arrived at the school at 8:55 AM, at which time he reportedly first learned that a plane had struck one of the Twin Towers. Dismissing the crash as an accident, Bush said that they would go ahead and "do the reading thing anyway."
Bush entered the second-grade classroom of teacher Sandra Kay Daniels at about 9:03. At about 9:06, the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, came in and whispered in Bush's ear, telling him, Card later reported, "A second plane hit the second Tower. America is under attack."
What Happened Next
Thanks to Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, which came out in 2004, the world knows what happened next: Bush remained sitting there minute after minute after minute.
Journalists, however, had reported Bush's strange behaviour much earlier. On September 1, 2002, for example, Jennifer Barrs had reported in the Tampa Tribune that, after Card whispered in Bush's ear, the president picked up his book and read with the children "for eight or nine minutes." In his 2002 book Fighting Back, Bill Sammon, the White House correspondent for the Washington Times, said that even after the reading lesson was over, Bush… Continue reading

I have been wanting to dress up like "peach" for quite a few years now and this year I decided to finally do it, so after looking around town for a while I was unsuccessful in finding the costume I wanted, I came upon this costume and instantly fell in love with it so I ordered it along with the matching wig, the costume arrived fairly quick for standard shipping and I tried it on, a perfect fit, so I decided to wear it to work for the costume contest, I had a blast that day and even won the best individual costume contest for it =) all in all I would have to say this was easily one of the best purchases I have ever made and I do intend to wear it again someday.

HALIFAX -- Ed Davis displayed a new side of his game while Terrence Ross showed he could play at the NBA level -- the two were bright spots of the Toronto Raptors' intrasquad game Saturday.
Davis scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead his white team 67-62 over the black squad, on an afternoon that was as much about giving back to basketball fans in the city as a proper game.
DeMar DeRozan led all scorers with 22 points, while Andrea Bargnani had 11 and Landry Fields scored 10.
Davis knocked down shots with confidence at the Halifax Metro Centre, capping what's been a strong five-day training camp for the third-year forward.
"It comes from coach," Davis said on his newfound confidence. "Just being around coach a lot this summer and him telling me he wants me to be a lot more aggressive. He needs me to score when I get the ball."
Davis said it's not a stretch for him to play with more aggression.
"I have been switching my personality up a little lately. It's starting to change my game a little," Davis said. "I have always been an outgoing person. This is more on the court. Just being more assertive and more aggressive when I'm out there."
Ross, whom the Raptors took with the No. 7 pick in last spring's NBA draft, scored six points, but it was what the pesky six-foot-seven guard did at the other end of the floor that was impressive. The 21-year-old was tasked with getting under DeMar DeRozan's skin, and he did a fine job of it.
"It helps me become a better defender. And it also lets me. . . learn from DeMar. I think it really benefits both of us," Ross said.
The Raptors rookie, one of 10 new faces on the squad, said the two worked well together all week.
"And even during the game he gave me a whole bunch of advice," said Ross.
Davis shot 7-for-10 from the floor, and afterward said improving his shot adds a key element to his game, changing the way opponents have to defend him.
"It has helped a lot because guys have to respect it," he said. "Pump fake and they're going to jump and little things like that. It has really helped my game."
Coach Dwane Casey addressed the crowd of 7,000 at the Halifax Metro Centre before the game, saying "Some of the best Raptors fans in the world are right here in Halifax."
Fans paid a suggested donation of $10 -- with proceeds going to four local charities -- to watch an event that wasn't without its humorous moments.
Quincy Acy was called to centre court to celebrate his 22nd birthday. The other rookies joined him in an initiation, forced to sing along to blaring country music. Acy, a Texan, broke into a bit of a line dance.
"They need to give back that singing lesson money that their parents gave them because it was bad," Casey said. "And the moves were even worse. They were out of rhythm. Hopefully they'll work on that."
It was a fitting ending to a week Casey said has been about camaraderie.
"Guys going out to dinner, hanging together and getting to know each other. You learn a lot about guys in this type of setting and about themselves," Casey said. "This was an excellent week."
Jose Calderon was traded back and forth between teams a couple of times, waving farewell to his teammates as he crossed the floor.
Casey said it was a bit difficult to gauge the team's defensive play because they were facing each other. A better test will come Monday when the Raptors host Real Madrid in their pre-season opener at the Air Canada Centre.
"The main thing I'm looking at tonight is our box outs, guys not getting back in transition, not stopping the ball in transition and really packing the paint," Casey said. "All the other technical things defensively are difficult because we're going against ourselves and we can kind of cheat the play a little bit because we're practising against each other."
Point guard Kyle Lowry didn't play because of leg soreness -- Lowry practised a day earlier, and Raptors staff said keeping him out was just precautionary. Lithuanian centre Jonas Valanciunas is still sidelined with the calf injury he suffered about a week before camp.
The Raptors left Halifax with positive feelings.
"It was long, a lot of hard work. But they have a lot of good restaurants out here. The food is good," Davis said.
His best meal?
"Probably last night at Baton Rouge. A chicken Caesar salad, cream of broccoli soup and then I had a steak so that was a good meal."
The Metro Centre, normally home to the QMJHL's Halifax Mooseheads and the Halifax Rainmen of the National Basketball League, also hosted the first pre-season game in Raptors' history in 1995.

Redwood Decks
What is it about redwood decks that make them the ideal choice for outdoor living? It could be the color and unique beauty of each deck board. Humboldt Redwood is legendary for its rich red tone in the heartwood grades. Equally stunning are the sapwood grades that feature varying amounts of yellow-toned sapwood.
It could also be the workability. Legendary versatility and ease-of-use mean that building a durable Humboldt Redwood deck is achievable for the average homeowner or do-it-yourselfer using regular wood-working tools. No special equipment, tools, or training is required to properly install a Humboldt Redwood deck.
Most importantly is the natural durability of real redwood. Humboldt Redwood decking features shear strength up to five times greater than other decking materials. In addition, the natural tannins in redwood (which gives heartwood its distinctive warm, red color) impart natural resistance to insects, decay, and fire.
Redwood Porches
The classic front porch is making a comeback as the perfect place to greet friends and neighbors with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Few other building materials can compete with real Humboldt Redwood when it comes to authenticity. Just like those lasting friendships and special memories, real Humboldt Redwood offers an authentic, one-of-a-kind experience that is not easily duplicated.
Factors to consider for well-apportioned redwood porches include furniture and lighting. Covered porches typically feature a ceiling fan/light combination to allow for maximum enjoyment into the evening hours. LED lighting can also be added to stairs and railings for enhanced safety and curb appeal.
When it comes to aesthetics, color, and design, the choice is all yours. You can choose to maintain the natural color of your Humboldt Redwood porch, or choose to paint or stain it. Because Humboldt Redwood has an open-cell structure, it absorbs and accepts paints and stains very well.
