Witnesses in Defense Dept. Report Suggest Cover-Up of 9/11 Findings
Four articles here considering this very interesting recent book-burning by the Pentagon... Lt. Col. Shaffer granted an interview to Judge Napolitano on FoxNews. Watch here.
– Ed.
October 6, 2010
At least five witnesses questioned by the Defense Department's Inspector General told Fox News that their statements were distorted by investigators in the final IG's report -- or it left out key information, backing up assertions that lead hijacker Mohammed Atta was identified a year before 9/11.
Atta is believed to have been the ringleader of the Sept. 11 hijackers who piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center. Claims about how early Atta first tripped the radar of the Department of Defense date back to 2005, but those claims never made it into the Inspector General's report. The report was completed in 2006 and, until now, has been available only in a version with the names of virtually all of the witnesses blacked out.
Fox News, as part of an ongoing investigation, exclusively obtained a clean copy of the report and spoke to several principal witnesses, including an intelligence and data collector who asked that she not be named.
The witness told Fox News she was interviewed twice by a Defense Department investigator. She said she told the investigator that it was highly likely a department database included the picture of Atta, whom she knew under an alias, Mohammed el-Sayed.
The Defense Intelligence Agency has blocked a book about the tipping point in Afghanistan and a controversial pre-9/11 data mining project called "Able Danger."
"When it came to the picture, (the investigator) he was fairly hostile," the witness told Fox News. She said it seemed the investigator just didn't want to hear it. "Meaning that he'd ask the same question over and over again, and, you know, you get to the point you go, well, you know... it's the same question, it's the same answer."
The IG report didn't accurately reflect her statements to investigators, she said, adding that she doesn't think the investigator simply misunderstood her.
Lt. Col Tony Shaffer, an operative involved with Able Danger, said he was interviewed three times by Defense investigators. He claims it was an effort to wear down the witnesses and intimidate them. Two other witnesses, one a military contractor and the other a retired military officer, said they had the same experience. The two witnesses spoke to Fox News on the condition of anonymity because they said they feared retaliation. A fifth witness told Fox that statements to investigators were ignored.
"My last interview was very, very hostile," Shaffer told Fox News last month before he was ordered by the department not to discuss portions of his book, "Operation Dark Heart," which included a chapter on the Able Danger data mining project.
When asked why the IG's report was so aggressive in its denials of his claims and those of other witnesses -- that the data mining project had identified Atta as a threat to the U.S. before 9/11 -- Shaffer said Defense Department was worried about taking some of the blame for 9/11.
However, It still isn't clear how -- or whether -- the information on Atta could have been used to the disrupt the Sept. 11 attacks.
"The big picture was not Atta, not so much the chart," Shaffer said. "The fact is this: That we had a pre-9/11 Department of Defense operation focused on taking action against Al Qaeda globally."
Specifically, the Defense Intelligence Agency or DIA wanted the removal of references to a meeting between Shaffer and the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, removed. Shaffer alleges that in that meeting, which took place in Afghanistan, the commission was told about Able Danger and the identification of Atta before the attacks. Shaffer, who was undercover at the time, said there was "stunned silence" at the meeting.
No mention of this was made in the final 9/11 Commission report.
"Dr. Philip Zelikow approached me in the corner of the room. 'What you said today is very important. I need you to get in touch with me as soon as you return from your deployment here in Afghanistan,'" Shaffer said.
Once back in the U.S., Shaffer says he contacted the commission, but without explanation, the commission was no longer interested.
Last month, the Defense Department took the highly unusual step of buying and destroying 9,500 copies of Shaffer's book "Operation Dark Heart" at a cost of $47,000 to U.S. taxpayers.

When asked whether Defense Department stood behind the IG report's findings, Col. Dave Lapan, the acting deputy assistant Secretary of Defense said in a statement to Fox News dated Oct. 6, "The investigation found that prior to September 11, 2001, Able Danger team members did not identify Mohammed Atta or any other 9/11 hijacker. While four witnesses claimed to have seen a chart depicting Mohammed Atta and possibly other hijackers or "cells" involved in 9/11, the investigation determined that their recollections were not accurate."
As for retaliation against Shaffer who said he lost his security clearance as a result of speaking out about Able Danger, Lapan said "The investigation found that DIA officials did not reprise against LTC Shaffer, in either his civilian or military capacity, for making disclosures regarding Able Danger or, in a separate matter, for his earlier disclosure to the DIA IG regarding alleged misconduct by DIA officials that was unrelated to Able Danger."
Separately, Fox News has obtained a letter that challenges the Defense Department's claim. In October 2006, then Rep. Christopher Shays, chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations, wrote to Shaffer's supervisor, Maj. Gen. Elbert Perkins, about the revocation of his clearance..
"Based on investigation of security clearance retaliation, it appears the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) used the security clearance system in an improper manner against LTC Shaffer and did not follow DOD security clearance guidelines," Shays, R-Conn., wrote.
Click here to se Shays' letter to Perkins.
In this case, the letter stated that the allegations used by the DIA to justify pulling Shaffer's security clearance included "the alleged misuse of a government cell phone in the amount of $67.00 and the alleged misfiling of a travel voucher for $180.00...these were not uniformed code of military justice (UCMJ) issues -- that there was no basis for punitive action and should be dealt with administratively...This decision cleared the way for LTC Shaffer's promotion, and his current 'good' standing in the Army Reserve.."
This investigation is part of an ongoing series, "Fox News Reporting." Earlier this year, the series special "The American Terrorist" uncovered new details about the American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is linked to the attempted Christmas Day bombing, and about efforts by the FBI to track and recruit him for intelligence purposes after 9/11.
Read Steven Aftergood's article, "Behind the Censorship of Operation Dark Heart", and ungoing coverage at Secrecy FAS' Secrecy Blog.
An editorial has been published at Investors Business Daily: Did We Know About Mohamed Atta?
9/11: Why would the Pentagon buy and destroy copies of a book by a former Army intelligence officer? Could it be perhaps because it contained information on how the 9/11 attacks might have been prevented?
The impulse to dismiss this as just another conspiracy theory is overwhelming. Yet the fact is that the Pentagon bought and destroyed 10,000 copies of a book, "Operation Dark Heart," written by Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a Bronze Star recipient and career Army intelligence officer, that contained a chapter on a pre-9/11 intelligence operation, Able Danger.
In a statement, the Pentagon said it "decided to purchase copies of the first printing because they contained information which could cause damage to national security." The books were destroyed on Sept. 20.
The book, critical of operations in Afghanistan, had been cleared by Shaffer's superiors at U.S. Army Reserve Command, but was seized after objections by Pentagon intelligence officials. It also comments on the departure of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, whose resignation was prompted by statements he made in a Rolling Stone interview.
Granted, Pentagon and administration sensitivity to criticism is high after that episode and after publication of Bob Woodward's latest book, "Obama's Wars."
But book burning? Lt. Col. Shaffer has since agreed to a redacted version of the book, but where are the champions of the public's right to know?
Shaffer went public in August 2005 with details about a secret military intelligence unit called Able Danger in which he was involved. The unit, using a technique known as data mining, determined a year before 9/11 that four of the future hijackers were al-Qaida operatives, including 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta.
After his revelation, Shaffer was stripped of his security clearance and cast into military limbo. In October 2006, Rep. Christopher Shays, who was chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security, Emergency Threats and International Relations, wrote to Shaffer's superior, Maj. Gen. Elbert Perkins, about the reasons for the clearance revocation and whether it was a retaliatory move.
Shays wrote that an "investigation of security clearance retaliation" showed that "the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) used the security clearance system in an improper manner against LTC Shaffer" and that Shaffer's alleged misuse of a government cell phone and travel voucher was a matter of administrative, not punitive, action under the uniformed code of military justice.
Was this an attempt to silence Shaffer and discredit and bury information about Able Danger?

Proposed Germany itinerary for June ED
Hello, all. I have many questions about an ED we would like to pick up in Germany at the of end of June 2013.
Here is our proposed itinerary:
Fly overnight; arrive in Munich around noon. Go to Deutschesmuseum and maybe see some of the Residenz. Early bedtime.
Day 2. Pick up car; tour factory. Is it easy to get to the car pick up from central Munich via public transit? After tour, drive to Lake Chiemsee.
Day 3. Tour Herrenchiemsee. Drive to Berchtesgaden.
Day 4. Boat ride on Konigsee and visit Documentation Center.
Day 5. Hike the Wimbacklamm Gorge (how long does this take? 1 or 2 hours?) Drive to Ulm; sightsee in area; night in Ulm.
Day 6. See the Abbey in Zwiefalten; drive to Rothenburg. Do the Night Watchman Tour; overnight in Rothenbug.
Day 7. Drive to Cochem; on the way visit the Residenz in Wurzburg.
Day 8. Visit Burg Eltz in the AM; drive to Frankfurt to drop off car. (How long should we budget to do this? Spend night in Frankfurt airport area hotel. See something that evening in Frankfurt (any suggestions?)
Day 9. Fly home.
Id appreciate any comments/insights on the above. FYI we have been to Munich, Dachau, Salzburg and Fussen/Neuschwanstain before. I mention this b/c it might appear that we are leaving some highlights off of our itinerary. My son likes WW2 history, so Id be interested in hearing about any interesting things we might pass along the way.
Since this is your first post and you have some questions, someone is bound to jump in and tell you that you must first read the European Wiki (just click on the "view the ED Wiki" link above) and that you also must first search for your answers using the "Search this Forum" link, also above.
So now that we've gotten that out of the way...
Day 2. It is very easy to get to the BMW Welt on any U-Bahn. Get off at the Olympiazentrum stop and you are right there. The English Factory Tour is usually at 11:30 and lasts until 14:00 so your delivery time should be no later than 10:00 or after 14:30 if you want to go on the tour. You might want to plan on lunch or a snack in the Premium Lounge before the tour. Make sure you set aside time to tour the Welt on your own either before or after your delivery. You also get free admission to the BMW Museum which will take at least an hour to 2 hours, maybe 3 hours if you really like museums. This is usually a pretty full first day and if you do it all you won't be out of the Welt until 17:00 or 18:00.
For information about hiking lengths and times, you might also want to ask on TripAdvisor.
Enjoy your planning!

When you receive your welcome pack from BMW, it will contain plenty of information on getting around in Munich, with good directions for getting to the Welt via public transportation. It's very simple, as you will see.
As for your flight home, unless there's a compelling reason to visit Frankfort, I would suggest that you drop off your car at the Munich airport and fly home to Philadelphia from MUC.

Forgot to add, flights are cheaper if you're willing to fly in/out from Newark or DC, Philly is coming costlier no matter where you go in Germany..

Hi. Our flights are booked - I was able to get 4 frequent flier tickets I couldn't pass up; the way home is direct from Frankfurt.
If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel near Berchtesgaden I would suggest the Kugelmuhle in Marktschellenberg. It is very good value. Some of the rooms have balconies and look towards the Eagle's Nest. It is also at a trailhead which is very popular - but I have not hiked it. Herrenchiemsee, the Documentation Center, Berchtesgaden, Konigsee, Wimbacklamm Gorge are all an easy drive away. I would also recommend a quick stop outside Ramsau Church for a photo op, it must be close to the trailhead of the Wimbacklamm Gorge.
When you go to the Abbey in Zwiefalten drive as much of the German Alpenstrasse as time permits. It is a very scenic road. As an alternative to Zwiefalten you might consider Ottobeuren Abbey which is also a Baroque church and very beautiful. It might cut off a few miles from your trip, or you might include it if you enjoy beautiful churches as much as I do. I have never been to Ulm but if it can be seen in an hour or two I would continue on to Rothenberg so that you can minimize overnight stops.
When in Rothenberg you will be not too far away from Nuremberg (about one hour). This was a major center for the Nazis and might interest your son. The Nazi Rally Grounds were the focal point of Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will and of course Hitler's build up of his popularity. Also in Nuremberg is another Documentation Center and the Palace of Justice where the Nuremberg Trials were held after WWII. Nuremberg itself is a pretty little town and worth a visit to the old town and market square.
I like your choice of visiting Cochem on the Mosel River. I presume you plan to drive along the river to Burg Eltz. It is very scenic and there are lots of little towns and vineyards along the way. Tripadvisor rates several hotels in Cochem very highly and they are relatively inexpensive too.
In Frankfurt I stayed at the airport Sheraton several years ago and was very happy with the convenience of it being an easy walk to the terminal, especially if you have an early flight
Trinitony - thanks so much for your reply. I will look into 3 nights in Berchtesgaden, that's a good idea if everything is close. I will look into your hotel recommendation as well, thanks.
I would love to see Ottobeuren, too - I love the Baroque.

The 2012 election is over. We have a bunch of newly [re]-elected politicians. On the bright side, the campaign ads will cease. On the bad side, things will return to normal.
Normal is not a good thing. We still have the same problems we had Tuesday and things aren't going to change anytime soon despite what we've been promised.
That's not what the candidates vowed when they wanted our votes. They made a lot of promises during the campaign, all of which they made sound like would be entirely up to them if elected.
For example, the "Ralph Coprolagnia for Congress" ads specifically promised that he would fight for us, lower our taxes, reduce the deficit and return ethics to government.
Note: "Ralph Coprolagnia" is a pseudonym for [insert real candidate's name here].
Ralph promised us everything that every candidate before him promised and every candidate since then has failed to deliver. If they hadn't failed we wouldn't have Ralph hollering about delivering for real now.
But the problems are a lot more complex than what we're being promised as solutions. A candidate's ad may say "will fight for you," but the truth is most of them get into office and end up doing what they're told by someone else.
No candidate ever promised to go to Washington and be a slave to special interests, a tart for his or her political party, or jack our taxes through the roof. And yet here we are.
The candidates also tried to curry our favor by pointing out that their opponents didn't understand things such as simple math, table manners or even big words.
Candidate A: "The president fails to understand how the math works."
Candidate B: "My opponent has six toes on both feet."
A huge part of the problem is us. Politicians aren't the only ones who fail to understand things or follow through on the ones they do. Because they technically need our permission to make a mess of things, the buck ultimately stops with us.
If we were a smarter electorate we wouldn't have the problems we keep electing them to fix. Unfortunately the typical American voter is a lot like me.
Several days before the election, someone from a polling place called and asked which candidate I planned to support for the office of Congressional Underpants Inspector (not a real office).
I said I was supporting Harold Mungwort (not a real candidate) because I admired his stand on the elimination of federal funding for monkey circumcisions (possibly not a real issue, but close).
The woman inquired as to how firm I was in my choice of candidates. Was there any possibility I might change my support for Mungwort before the election?
Yeah, I didn't have to think about that.
Me: "Sure. For 20 bucks I'll vote for the other guy."
Her: "Excuse me?"
Me: "OK, 10 bucks."
I was lying, of course. I was going to vote Mungwort regardless of how much they paid me to change my mind.
Hey, I may not understand simple math but I know how politics works.

Principal Proposed Uses
- None
Other Proposed Uses
- Bladder Infections
- Fluid Retention
- Swollen Glands
The leaves of the cleavers plant ( Galium aparine ) have small hooked hairs that cause it to "cleave" to the fingers when touched, hence the name. The whole leaf has been used as a flavoring in soups and stews. Roasted seeds are used as a coffee substitute. The leaves and flowers are used medicinally. Cleavers is primarily used for urinary problems and fluid retention, on the basis of its apparent diuretic (urine-stimulating) effects. It has also been recommended for enlarged lymph nodes, tonsillitis, hepatitis, and snake bites.
What is Cleavers Used for Today?
Cleavers is often included in herbal mixtures offered for the treatment of kidney and bladder problems, including bladder infections , kidney stones , and prostatitis . It is also said to help "cleanse" the lymph system. However, there has not been any meaningful scientific evaluation of the herb. Even animal and test-tube studies are essentially lacking.
A typical recommended dose of cleavers is one cup of tea three times daily, made by steeping 10–15 grams of the herb in a cup of hot water.
Safety Issues
Cleavers has not undergone any meaningful safety testing. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
In case cleavers does in fact have diuretic effects as claimed, people taking the medication lithium should use cleavers only under the supervision of a physician, as dehydration can be dangerous with this medication. 1
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking lithium , do not use cleavers except under the supervision of a physician.

How perfect is this — the menu for tonight — a favorite soup for supper and a new and different pie for dessert. And the recipes to go with them, too.
I say that's a terrific way to brighten a Monday morning, so I say let's give Dee G. Peterson of Everett a big round of applause.
She tells us, "I know some people are counting calories this time of year, but … this soup is definitely NOT low on calories.
"It's our favorite, as well as many others' I've passed this along to."
Dee adds, "I can't remember who wanted different pie crusts, but here's quite a different one I think she'll like.
Baked potato soup
4-5 large baking potatoes, baked and cubed
1 cube (1/2 cup) butter — no substitutes
1 onion, chopped
1 quart half-and-half
1 quart chicken broth
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1/2 cup potato buds
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 cup flour
Sour cream
Grated cheese
Bacon bits
Set baked potatoes aside.
Melt the butter in a large pot and stir in the onion, half-and-half, chicken broth, chicken bouillon, potato buds, basil, seasoned salt and flour, mixing thoroughly.
Cover and simmer 25 minutes.
Stir in reserved potatoes and heat through.
Ladle into bowls and top with sour cream, grated cheese and bacon bits.
Cherry cheese pie
3 cups crispy rice cereal, crushed
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened evaporated milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling (or other fruit filling)
For the crust, combine the cereal, butter and sugar; mix well and press into a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake at 400 degrees 5 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
For the filling, beat cream cheese until fluffy; add sweetened milk and mix until smooth.
Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla and pour into the pie shell.
Top with the cherry pie filling and refrigerate until needed.
Makes 1 pie.

Midway • Dressed in green shorts and a green shirt, with died-green hair to match, Salt Lake City's Andrew Dransfield approached the first obstacle at Saturday's Reebok Utah Spartan Beast race without fear.
"Into the trenches, boys!" Dransfield yelled, diving headfirst into a shallow, 12-foot-wide ditch filled with dark, muddy water.
He scrambled out the other side to continue the race, only to return to the trench to help a friend look for his shoe, which was stuck and lost momentarily in the mud.
Dransfield, a 20-year-old college student who break dances to stay in shape, had no problem with his own shoes getting stuck in the mud – he ran the race barefoot.
"I wanted the hardest challenge possible," Dransfield said after finishing in just over two hours.
For most competitors, the Utah Spartan Beast race was difficult enough even with the proper footwear.
The Reebok Spartan Race series holds races year-round in locations across North America, Great Britain, Australia, Mexico and Slovenia. There are three race distances that the series contests: the Spartan Sprint, a 3-mile long course with 15 or more obstacles; the Super Spartan, an 8-mile course with 20 or more obstacles; and the Spartan Beast, which is roughly 12 miles with 25 or more obstacles.
"Our goal is to empower people to do things they normally wouldn't do," said Mike Morris, Spartan Race's vice president of production. "We want to provide a medium to rip people off their couches and give people motivation to do better things."
Saturday's race at Soldier Hollow in Midway was a Spartan Beast, with racers traversing a course that weaved up and down 12 miles of mountains, with 28 obstacles scattered throughout. Obstacles ranged from swimming through mud, carrying buckets of rocks up and down a hill, and throwing a javelin – an homage to the Greek warriors after which the race is named.
Erda's Hobie Call won the race with a time of 1 hour 29 minutes, but it wasn't just because the race was in his home state. Call is the current overall points leader in 2013 and is a veteran Spartan racer.
While most racers weren't competing for points like Call, there was certainly a sense of accomplishment, and exhaustion, at the finish line.
Bobby Long of Lolo, Mont., is a skier and said that the Spartan races help him keep in shape for the winter. He and his girlfriend ran a Spartan Sprint in Montana earlier this year and decided to come try the Utah Spartan Beast on Saturday.
"I hit a major wall and just crashed in the middle," Long said. "But I found some extra strength and picked up my pace near the end. It's all mental."
Long called the Spartan Race series, with the difficult obstacles and new challenges it presents, "his generation's version" of distance running. "Those are boring because they're so monotonous. This is more stimulating."
The last mile of the Utah Spartan Beast race was far from boring. Competitors had to swing across 12 monkey bars, climb a 15-foot knotted rope, crawl or roll through mud under 50-yards of barbed wire, climb a 10-foot wall, jump over a fire pit and finally cross the finish line while being hit by volunteers wielding pugil sticks.
So what was the hardest obstacle?
"The whole damn thing," Long said.
"It was super challenging," Dransfield said. "But it makes you feel like a champion."

When a person loses a loved one, whether it be a close family member, a pet or a friend, the feelings that are associated with the loss can be crippling. Just completing every day tasks can feel like a mountain that is impossible to climb. With guidance and support, it is possible to move forward in a healthy manner and gain the pleasure back into your life.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

Most of us have experienced grief or loss at some point in our lives. Grief and loss are not just about losing a loved one or a family member. Those feelings can accompany a job loss or a change in circumstances, the ending of a relationship or a divorce, experiencing an illness or an accident, and a whole lot more. Whatever the event, it can be devastating. There is hope. I provide a comforting place to talk about your feelings and memories, and I will be a solid support for you through this difficult time. When you are ready, I help you move forward and redefine your life in a way that makes sense for you.

Grief is often misunderstood. Most people associate it with death. But grief is also associated with any loss, such as divorce, a break-up, children going off to college, having to move, retiring. I see people suffering for years over a loss that they didn't believe was big enough to mention or allow themselves to be saddened by... let alone the ones that are. I work with the whole person in their world. I travel the loss with them and see through their eyes. Transitions can be very difficult and you never need to go through it alone.

There is no one way to grieve. Each person grieves very differently. Some individuals may be grieving and others may not even see it for they themselves grieve so differently. We grieve many things as we pass through this journey of life. We grieve lost people, lost opportunities, lost capabilities and beauty and strengths. In fact " all change is loss" so even when good things are happening, like a marriage or graduation, a grief is embedded, necessary to be dealt with to move forward.

LONG BEACH -- City Prosecutor Doug Haubert announced late Wednesday that he will seek re-election next April.
"I am proud of the work of my office, especially during the most challenging time for law enforcement in recent history," Haubert said in a statement. "We still have a lot of work ahead of us. I'm ready for the challenge."
Haubert, who won his first term in 2010 after former City Prosecutor Thomas Reeves eschewed his fourth term to run against City Attorney Bob Shannon, will go up against challenger Rosemary Chavez, an attorney with the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.
Haubert, who worked for the city prosecutor's office from 1999 to 2001 before working for a law firm that deals with smaller cities' prosecutions, is known for his Gang Prevention Strategy and for initiating the Parent Accountability and Chronic Truancy program.
Haubert has garnered support from Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey and former District Attorney Steve Cooley.
"Haubert is a tough prosecutor who is focusing on reducing gang violence," Cooley said in a statement. "He has accomplished much in his first term of office, and he has earned re-election."

RIALTO - Be sure to smile the next time you get pulled over.
Police officers here are wearing shoulder-mounted video cameras in an effort to find out if the equipment will cut the number of times officers use force and allegations of police abuse.
The cameras - funded by a $93,000 grant - are part of a yearlong study that began in February and is being overseen by Police Chief Tony Farrar.
Farrar is using the research as part of his master's dissertation at the University of Cambridge's Institute of Criminology in England.
Early reports indicate that the cameras have been effective, Farrar said.
"Wearing these cameras has contributed to a reduction in complaints and the use of force," he said.
To test Farrar's theory, some officers wear the cameras for a shift and others do not.
Officers have the option of mounting the cameras - provided by Taser International - on a headset, and new technology will enable them to wear the equipment on a cap or sunglasses.
Farrar said officers in the future will be able to write reports taken directly from the camera footage, which will include sound.
The cameras should put a dent in the number of lawsuits against the department and the city, he said.
Already, the cameras have produced better compliance from suspects, valuable evidence and increased professionalism among officers, Farrar said.
"You look at all these benefits ... there is great value to these cameras," he said.
The cameras are the latest in a line of technology the department is using.
Patrol cars are equipped with dashboard computers that map crime trends throughout Rialto, which has turned each officer into a one-man investigative unit.
The computers use CrimeView Dashboard software and were funded through a $45,000 grant, Farrar said.
They are updated at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily, and crime analysts study the data, which enables officers to track crimes on their beats.
This gives the department the ability to deploy police officers at certain times and in certain areas where particular crimes - such as vehicular burglary - are recurring.
It's work that, in the past, relied heavily on compiled reports submitted to crime analysts, and waiting for supervisors to send officers to an affected area, to catch would-be criminals.
That required a fair amount of old-fashioned instinct, and a lot of overtime for officers sent on special patrols.
Instead, when police Sgt. Josh Lindsay hopped into a patrol car Thursday, he took one look at the computer to see a spate of vehicular burglaries north of the 210 Freeway.
One person reported having a custom grill stolen from his pickup truck.
Lindsay said that kind of information at the fingertips of an officer makes for more effective and efficient policing.
"It allows us to tailor our responses to the needs (of the city)," he said.

Cue the Rocky theme music.
President Barack Obama is headed for training camp this weekend debate training, that is and promised his supporters a more aggressive performance in Tuesday's rematch with Republican rival Mitt Romney.
"I think it's fair to say that we will see a little more activity at the next one," Obama told radio host Tom Joyner.
Obama will work on his rhetorical punches, policy jabs and other forms of political pugilism at "debate camp" in Williamsburg, Va. He is scheduled to arrive in Williamsburg on Saturday and leave Tuesday, when he heads north for the debate at Hofstra University on New York's Long Island.
Most observers awarded Romney the decision after the first round on Oct. 3 in Denver. Even fellow Democrats called Obama's performance listless and uninspired, and Obama told ABC News he had "a bad night."
Even worse for him, the president saw his lead over Romney shrink in a string of polls, both nationally and in key swing states.
In interviews, Obama said he let Romney shift positions during the debate, especially over the size of his proposed tax cut and how it threatens major program cuts and tax hikes for the middle class.
This time, Obama said in his radio interview, he will present the differences in "crystal clear fashion." He also told Joyner that, next week, "a lot of the hand-wringing will be complete, because we're going to go ahead and win this thing."
Pounding Romney in public wouldn't exactly be a change of pace for Obama; he's been doing it on the stump for months.
In an appearance Thursday at the University of Miami in Florida, Obama said Romney is only telling people what he thinks they want to hear.
"After running for more than a year in which he called himself severely conservative, Mitt Romney's trying to convince you that he was severely kidding," Obama said.
Romney also will be practicing for the debate, from his home base in Boston. The Republican nominee and his supporters have a different interpretation of the first debate.
Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus said Obama's problem wasn't a lack of aggressiveness, but a bad economy the same issue that will shadow him Tuesday.
"His problem was he's done a lousy job as president," Priebus said.
Romney meets with Billy Graham
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney met Thursday with the Rev. Billy Graham, and the aging evangelist pledged to do "all I can" to help the GOP nominee win the presidency. Romney went to see Graham at the evangelist's mountaintop home in Montreat, N.C. "Prayer is the most helpful thing you can do for me," Romney told Graham, 93. The meeting came days after Romney said he would not pursue abortion-related legislation as president. Romney later insisted he would be a "pro-life president."
Remaining debates
P President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney have two debates left:
Tuesday • A town-meeting-style debate at 7 p.m. MDT in Hempstead, N.Y.
Oct. 22 • A foreign-policy debate at 7 p.m. MDT in Boca Raton, Fla.

Kavanagh Joins Environmental Groups to Keep Mercury Out of the Waste Stream
March 21, 2012
A newly-formed coalition of environmental groups, public health advocates, and municipal recyclers today called on the New York State Legislature to pass legislation this session that would reduce the amount of mercury entering solid waste facilities. They were joined by Senator Mark Grisanti and Assemblymember Bob Sweeney, chairs of the Senate and Assembly Environmental Conservation Committees, Senator Tony Avella and Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh. Mercury is a highly potent neurotoxin that is extremely harmful to pregnant women, developing fetuses, and infants and children. Recognizing the environmental and health hazards of mercury exposure, New York has taken a number of steps over the years to prevent mercury releases, including a 2005 law that phased out the sale of many mercury-added consumer products and banned their disposal in solid waste facilities. Despite these measures, discarded products containing mercury are still ending up in the waste stream, posing a threat to our air and water. According to recent data from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in 2009, municipal waste combustors in New York released more mercury into the air than coal-fired power plants. The groups are urging passage this session of legislation requiring thermostat manufacturers to establish a collection program for discarded mercury thermostats in New York. More than a ton of mercury enters New York's waste stream each year from discarded thermostats. Voluntary collection programs only capture about 1% of the discarded thermostats in New York. In contrast, states like Maine and Vermont, which require financial incentives, are achieving much higher collection rates. The groups are also supporting legislation to limit the mercury content in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and other fluorescent lighting, modeled after standards adopted by the European Union. There are no federal regulations limiting the amount of mercury that can be contained in light bulbs, and they are not included in New York's disposal ban. "Over 300,000 mercury thermostats come off the walls each year in New York, and nearly 99% of those are ending up in landfills and incinerators," said Senator Grisanti. "Mercury is a toxic substance. We need an effective collection program to keep our water and air clean and free from mercury contamination." "Mercury thermostats represent a good choice for a product stewardship program because they contain a significant amount of mercury which can be effectively captured before it gets into the waste stream," said Assemblyman Sweeney. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." "Even low level exposures to mercury can be harmful, especially for children and pregnant women," said Senator Avella. "According to the EPA, more than 300,000 infants are born each year in the United States with mercury levels high enough to cause learning disabilities and other neurological impairments. That's why it's so important that we work to prevent mercury releases into the environment." "Mercury is one of those very toxic substances that we've known about for a long time, but we've done far too little to reduce its use and limit our exposure to it," said Assemblymember Kavanagh, who sponsors a bill restricting mercury levels in light bulbs. "Today, we're calling for manufacturers to take modest steps to minimize the threat their products pose to consumers and the environment." "Time is running out to address this problem," said Laura Haight, senior environmental associate with NYPIRG. "As more New Yorkers switch to energy-efficient measures like programmable thermostats, it's crucial to establish an effective program to capture and safely dispose of the discarded mercury thermostats coming off the walls." "New York has been a leader in reducing mercury from many large industrial sources," said Scott M. Lorey, Legislative Director for the Adirondack Council. "However, we are lagging behind other states when it comes to addressing the problem of discarded thermostats. Until strong action is taken, mercury will continue to poison our birds and make many fish unsafe to eat." "It's time to turn off the tap on toxic chemicals like mercury. Mercury can have a powerful effect on brain and nervous system functions, and can be deadly. Even small amounts of it can have lifelong consequences from children who are exposed while still in the womb," said Bobbi Chase Wilding, Deputy Director for Clean and Healthy New York. "By setting strict limits on this toxic metal in compact fluorescent lights and requiring thermostat manufactures to collect and safely handle mercury from antiquated thermostats, New York State can protect its people and environment for generations to come." There are several bills currently pending in the State Legislature that would require thermostat collection programs, including A. 3485-A (Sweeney), which the Assembly passed in 2010 and 2011, and S.4345-B (Grisanti), which sets more modest thermostat collection goals. A.5583-A (Kavanagh) adopts the most up-to-date EU mercury content standards for fluorescent lamps. Mercury-containing thermostats are one of the major sources of mercury in the waste stream. Each thermostat contains on average four grams of liquid mercury (about a thimbleful), enclosed in a glass ampoule. This is about eight times the average amount of mercury found in a mercury fever thermometer (.5 g), and 800 times the average amount of mercury in a compact fluorescent lamp (5 mg). Properly collected, this mercury can be retrieved and carefully disposed of. But when crushed or incinerated, the glass ampoule shatters and the mercury is released into the environment. Because of mercury's environmental hazards, the New York State Department of EDEC recommends product stewardship for all mercury containing products. The DEC's Beyond Waste Plan notes that "Mercury containing thermostats are a particularly important target because they represent a small waste stream that, unfortunately, includes a significant amount of mercury." Endorsers of the New York State Mercury Prevention Campaign include: Adirondack Council; Center for Environmental Health; Center for Health, Environment & Justice (CHEJ); Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Citizens' Environmental Coalition; Clean & Healthy New York; Empire State Consumer Project, Environmental Advocates of New York; Environmental Justice Action Group of Western New York; Hudson River Sloop Clearwater; Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition; Learning Disabilities Association of New York State; Mercury Policy Project; Natural Resources Defense Council; New York City Environmental Justice Alliance; New York Product Stewardship Council, New York Public Interest Research Group; N.Y.S. Association of Reduction, Reuse & Recycling (NYSAR3); Product Stewardship Institute; and the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter. The goals of the campaign are to eliminate or reduce mercury in consumer products sold in New York and to establish producer responsibility programs to capture mercury before it is released to the environment.

If your add-ons are already managed the way you like, and this message continues to pop up, your IE shortcut may be the cause of the problem. That is to say that your shortcut may be taking you to a version of IE prior to your changes. Mine was. To solve this problem, delete the existing desktop shortcut, find IE in the Start menu, and right-click. From the Send To menu, click Desktop (create shortcut).

PHILADELPHIA -- A federal jury here acquitted seven defendants or deadlocked on their verdicts in an organized crime case that involved some 60 counts of racketeering with illegal video poker, as well as loan-sharking charges.
The biggest fish got away. Jurors deadlocked on racketeering charges against alleged Philadelphia organized crime leader Joseph Ligambi. The jury cleared him of eight other counts, but three alleged lower-ranked mobsters were convicted of racketeering.
Federal investigators began building the case in 2000. The trial ran from October 2012 through December 2012.
Defense lawyer Edwin Jacobs Jr. said, "We're talking about video machines that aren't hurting anybody; the only problem is they weren't controlled by the state," according to local papers.
Prosecutors said they might retry the unresolved charges.

It is one of the oldest theater stories: The leading lady cannot, at the last minute, go on to sing on opening night. A young understudy takes her place and wows the crowd.
That is how Los Angeles native and Rancho Cucamonga resident Julie Makerov made her Los Angeles Opera debut in the soprano role of Senta in Richard Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman" on Saturday night.
The celebrated Portuguese soprano Elisabete Matos, who was scheduled to sing the role, was suddenly indisposed at 7:18 p.m., just 12 minutes before curtain of opening night. The cancellation was due to the onset of a chest cold, according to an LA Opera spokesman.
Makerov appeared as Senta in the Canadian Opera Company's 2010 production of "Dutchman", and had won Toronto's top award for live music performances for that role. She was therefore well-prepared to sing the character's deeply emotional and conflicted songs.
Senta is an adolescent girl poignantly entranced by the legend of a seaman -- known only as The Flying Dutchman -- who is condemned to sail the seas until he finds a woman who will love him and be faithful to him until her death. Despite having a poor but devoted boyfriend, Senta comes to believe she is destined to be the woman who ends the Dutchman's curse.
A few minutes before the start of the opera , LA Opera President and CEO Christopher Koelsch stepped onto the stage to announce that Matos, who was scheduled to make her company debut, would be unable to perform and that Julie Makerov would be taking on the role.
"Julie who?" audience members murmured, shuffling through the program. There was no mention of this largely unknown singer in it.
No need for concern. Makerov's vocals soared, and her acting skills captured Senta's spirit and youthful determination.
The soprano earned her master's degree in vocal music performance from USC and undergraduate degree in music performance from the Cal State San Bernardino.
Will she sing the role again during this run at L.A. Opera? The next performance is not until March 17; Matos may recover from her ailment by then.

BC Women can't climb back, fall 65-55February 12, 2011
The Tornados came back to within one but fell at Mars hill
Mars Hill, N.C. - The Brevard College (6-18, 2-12 SAC) women's basketball team fell 65-55 to the Mars Hill Lions (15-7, 8-6 SAC) on Saturday afternoon at Stanford Arena on the campus of Mars Hill College. After spotting the Lions a 15-point lead in the first half, Brevard was able to bring the game back to within one, but couldn't hold Mars Hill off.
The Lions opened up the game on an 11-0 run which was ousted by Tempestt Mack (Abemarle, N.C.) when she hit a free-throw with 17:02 left in the first half. Mars Hill return-fired with three straight points before Brevard went on a 7-0 run to make it 14-8 with 13:34 left in the half.
Mars Hill was able to jump out to a 15-point lead after going on a 9-0 run with 8:53 left in the opening half of play. Brevard was able to bring it back within eight when Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) hit a runner with 4:24 remaining. Brevard and Mars Hill traded buckets back and forth throughout the rest of the half and trailed 37-27 at the half.
Holli Flippo (Kingston Spring, Tenn.) led the Tornados offense in the opening half with 12 points. She was 4-of-6 from beyond the arc in the first half. Watkins and Mack each chipped in with six points in the opening 20 minutes. Asheley Watkins (Bostic, N.C.) had three assists while Flippo added a pair of steals in the first half.
The Tornados opened up the second half with a 10-2 run bringing them within two, 39-37, of the Lions with 14:51 left in the game. The Tornados were unable to hold off the Lions as they went on a 7-0 run to get back up by nine, 46-37 with 11:44 remaining.
Brevard was able to bring it within one, 49-48 when Anna Schlobohm (Greensboro, N.C.) hit a layup on a fast break with 5:47 left. The Tornados and Lions continued to trade buckets throughout the rest of the game and Brevard eventually fell down the stretch as Mars Hill was able to convert on their free-throws and knock off the Tornados 65-55.
Micheala Watkins led the Tornados offense with 14 points in the loss. She was complimented by Holli Flippo's 12 points. Flippo had three steals, while Amanda Whitaker (Asheville, N.C.) added three swipes of her own. The Tornados shot 34% from the field and 75% from the free-throw line. Brevard shot just 14.7% from beyond the arc in the second half and 26.9% from three-point land in the game.
The Lions had four players in double-figures as Tyler Carlson led with 14. Brittini Young had 13 while Jocelyn Williams and Tayler Deal added 10 of their own.
The BC women are back in action on Wednesday when they play host to the Lincoln Memorial University Railsplitters. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. at Boshamer Gymnasium for the Tornados "Think Pink" night.

I aim to connect various non-perturbative approaches to quantum gravity, which often involve some form of discrete structures, to more conventional physical theories based on general relativity. At the moment I am focussing on the derivation of classical cosmology from fundamental quantum gravity, and various models of quantum cosmology.
The most natural place to look for testable predictions from quantum gravity is in cosmology. A major first step towards making the connection to cosmology is to be able to describe quantum gravity states that describe macroscopic, homogeneous or approximately homogeneous universes like the one around us, and to be able to do calculations within quantum gravity to derive the effective dynamics of such states. With Daniele Oriti and Lorenzo Sindoni, I have recently managed to complete these steps in the group field theory approach to quantum gravity. We show that certain states whose structure is analogous to condensate states that appear in Bose-Einstein condensation describe macroscopic spatially homogeneous geometries, and that in a semiclassical regime and in the isotropic case, the dynamics they satisfy is given precisely by the Friedmann equation for pure GR.
These results have started a whole new programme for connecting effective quantum cosmology models with fundamental theories of quantum gravity, which I keep exploring with Daniele Oriti and others. For instance, I currently investigate extensions of the formalism to matter fields and inhomogeneities.

The LGBTQ Community Services Center of The Bronx, Inc.
The Bronx LGBTQ Center is a New York State membership-based not-for-profit corporation with 501(c)3 exempt status from the IRS building a new community services center for LGBTQ and supportive individuals in the Bronx, lower Westchester, and upper Manhattan. It offers supportive services (such as a free legal clinic, youth groups, and other support groups), social, recreational, business, artistic, and cultural events and programs. The Center partners with other community-based organizations to provide clinical and health-related services to the community.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A. The money goes to the new Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Community Services Center of the Bronx, Incorporated (d/b/a Bronx LGBTQ Center), the corporate entity that was formed in order to set up and operate the new community services center in The Bronx. All funds will be used in furtherance of the Bronx LGBTQ Center's mission. We will comply with all local, state, and federal laws ensuring accountability. We operate in an open and transparent manner (our board meetings are broadcast live on the Internet and archived on YouTube for anyone to see at any given time.
A. Yes, we are a incorporated as a membership-based New York State Not-For-Profit corporation with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. We also are registered with the NYS Charities Bureau, governed by all the applicable laws of such non-profit organizations operating in New York State.
A. The purpose of the Bronx LGBTQ Center is to provide a safe space for all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) and LGBTQ, supportive individuals in The Bronx and surrounding areas (upper Manhattan, lower Westchester County); to meet, gather, socialize and receive support and services; to provide a safe space for other, licensed organizations to provide support and services to LGBTQ and LGBTQ-supportive individuals, to do everything normally associated with a community services organization, and for any other lawful, charitable purpose(s) in accordance with the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Corporation in which the Members and/or Board of Directors of the Corporation so elect.
A. We are a new organization currently in the midst of raising the funds required to open in a new space, which as describe above requires between $100-$250k.
A. Contact us here on this page (send us a message), e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call (347) LGBT-BX-1.
A. The new Bronx LGBTQ Center is a membership-based organization. Individuals and Families can purchase an annual membership in the Center, which gives them the right to vote during annual membership meetings and raise member items, very similar to how a shareholder votes for the board of directors and can create a shareholder derivative action in publicly-traded companies.
Additionally, New York State law allows for organizations, businesses, and corporations to purchase an annual membership. More information about Memberships, pricing, types, levels, and amounts will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
A. These expensive events are fundraisers, not just a party for everyone to attend. In order to raise the monies required to build and operate a new community services center that will serve the needs of the LGBTQ community, we need money to cover all of our expenses and also to ensure our operational survival.
It will take approximately $100,000 - $250,000 to open and fund a new center for one year. That is the amount of money we need to raise before opening in a new space. This does not include any payments to employees; it is just for rent, utilities, equipment, and other expenses in beginning to provide services to the community, all of which are additional expenses that must be paid as well.

Remember how bad sales of chips were during the financial meltdown of 2008? Well, they were a lot worse this year, two years into the supposed recovery from the recession. Indeed, the number of CPUs sold in the last quarter were the worst in a decade, according to Mercury Research, a boutique research shop specializing in the chip industry. Year-over-year sales were down 9.3 percent in the third quarter, compared to an 8.8 percent drop in the last quarter of 2008 as the recession hit hard.
That stark fact goes a long way to explain what Intel and its much weaker rival, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), are up to these days. Both are hedging their bets. Intel is pushing into mobile, where strong demand for smartphones and tablets has made ARM king; even Microsoft now offers an ARM-based tablet, the Surface RT. It appears Intel is even considering the unthinkable: manufacturing chips based on the ARM architecture.
[ Check out the innovative Windows 8 PCs that could breathe some life back into Intel's x86 business. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
AMD, meanwhile, which recently reported an abysmal quarter, this week announced it plans to produce ARM-based chips for servers by 2014. AMD's results were so bad that its stock tumbled 16 percent last week, and one Wall Street analyst called the company "uninvestable," which is more or less saying it's going to die.
That's probably an exaggeration. AMD is on a run rate to produce 60 million to 80 million x86 CPUs this year, far fewer than Intel, but more than enough volume to keep the company afloat, says Dean McCarron, a principal analyst at Mercury.
Nonetheless, AMD is in desperate trouble, and Intel -- which managed to miss the industry's shift to mobile devices is scrambling. Both are struggling to stay relevant in the waning days of the PC-centric era.
AMD's bet on ARM for servers
ARM has had little presence in the server world; after all, the lack of 64-bit support in its x86 CPUs is a crippling downside for that market. But that's changing. ARM this week introduced its first 64-bit Cortex-A50 processor design. Having 64-bit support enables a new range of hardware capabilities, including more memory. The new processors also boast virtualization support, error correction, security capabilities, and better floating point performance, says Ian Forsyth, a product manager at ARM.
AMD quickly followed up with its plans to license the core and offer it to customers in 2014. Calling it a "historic day" for the company, AMD CEO Rory Read said he hopes that the new chips will "disrupt the status quo" and "drive the industry to where it needs to go to inspire competition and to enable our customers to do more."
That doesn't mean AMD is moving away from x86 -- it publicly discounted that possibility -- but the adoption of ARM allows the company to offer another option to its customers. With business so slow, broadening its base is critical, says McCarron. After all, there is growing interest in ARM servers as an energy-efficient way to handle large numbers of Web requests such as in search or social networks. Dell and Hewlett-Packard already offer prototype ARM-based servers for testing to customers looking to deploy ARM servers to cut energy bills.
