To me this video and the thought that there is a conspiracy theory behind it is just crazy.
Trying to prove his point in the video using "witnesses" does not prove anything or even raise questions to me because People usually make terrible witnesses and I know firsthand how 10 different people who see something can give you very, very conflicting reports on what they saw.
One witness saying he had a shotgun: How do you know she even knows a shotgun when she sees it?
Another witness said that the guy going outside had a goatee. Seriously?
So in a dark theater the one guy saw a goatee and after the theater was filled with gas the lady knew he had a shotgun. Not likely.

Boman Irani rejected lead roles until Well Done Abba
Boman Irani, famous for films like the Munnabhai series and 3 Idiots, says he kept rejecting lead roles until acclaimed film director Shyam Benegal offered him the chance of his lifetime.entertainment Updated: Mar 16, 2010 14:32 IST
"I was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in Well Done Abba. I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don't ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal's film. It is the chance of a lifetime," he told PTI in an interview.
Irani plays the role of a driver working in Mumbai in the political satire Well Done Abba, which also stars Minnisha Lamba and Ila Arun. It will release on March 26.
However, this was not the first time that the 52-year-old actor, who debuted with a cameo appearance in the SRK-starrer Josh in 2000, was offered a lead role.
Last year he was seen as the protagonist in Little Zizou, a film revolving around the lives of the Parsi community.
"I still reject lead roles as I don't accept any role if I don't find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections," the actor said.
Irani has proved himself in all kinds of roles, ranging from comedy in Main Hoon Na to that of a villain in Don: The Chase Begins Again. His recent portrayal of Virus in 3 Idiots won him the 'Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award'.

Square Enix: 'We Need to Go Beyond Traditional'; Eyeing Potential Acquisitions
"It may be a business alliance or it may be us taking a stake in others, but we need to go beyond traditional Square Enix," Square Enix president Yoichi Wada told Reuters of his company's future. "Economies of scale and breadth of scope are getting important."
The company, itself formed from a merger between Final Fantasy publisher Square and Dragon Quest creator Enix, has no set budget for acquisitions or investments, but can issue up to 250 million shares without approval. At current stock prices, that comes out to about $9.20 billion.
"I'm not suggesting we are going to use up all that. But we have a capacity to do that," Wada added. "We face competition not only from Japanese video game companies but from game companies worldwide. We also see some new players from outside the video game industry coming in."

When I got off the phone, I couldn't stop smiling. My baby was coming. I felt my heart fill with peace - something that wasn't always present during this pregnancy. You see, this pregnancy was rough. Not only was I physically sick for more than half of the pregnancy but I was also emotionally and mentally unstable for almost all of it. I was diagnosed with prenatal depression and anxiety. I did not have it before getting pregnant, but from 8 weeks - 8 months I had what often felt like debilitating depression and anxiety. My doctors, midwives and counselor all thought it might be hormone related due to the extra estrogen my body was producing (I think they were right as it almost completely disappeared as soon as you were born). I was also diagnosed with thrombocytopenia - a condition that can happen in 5-7% of pregnancies that causes low platelet levels in the blood. Low platelet levels can cause issues with the blood being able to clot properly. Levels under 100 get refereed to a hematologist. Levels under 90 cannot get an epidural. Levels under 70 are often treated with steroids, and at 50 is where they really worry about the blood not being able to clot. My levels went all the way down to 66. I was so nervous about this, even though it is well managed when the medical team knows the numbers are low. And to add even more onto my stress I was gbs positive which meant I had to get to the hospital earlier than I had wanted in order to receive antibiotics every 4 hours that I was in labor.
But in all this, I had peace and joy.
My contractions started an hour later and we decided to head to the hospital once they were consistent.
On our drive to the hospital I listened to George Winston, my favorite pianist, and continued to listen to his beautiful music throughout. We arrived at 1:00am and by 2:00am I got my first dose of antibiotics and was told I was 4 cm dilated. Since it was the middle of the night I told Wes to sleep. I didn't see anyone else for the next 4 hours until my next dose of antibiotics at 6:00am. Those 4 hours I sat on the hospital bed in the butterfly yoga pose with the lights off. I didn't want to move into any other position. My contractions were getting pretty intense but were never closer together than 8 minutes a part - with many being 12 minutes a part. Although Wes slept, I held his hand and he talked me through the contractions when they were too much for me to get through on my own. The contractions were painful, yes, but they are a beautiful pain. Because each one brings me closer to you.
At 6:00am I was given the dose of antibiotics and was checked again. I was 6 cm and so disappointed to hear that. If things progessed in the same timing as the rest of the labor I didn't know how I could go another 4+ hours with the pain. Oh, and I hadn't even see my midwife yet. She was planning on waiting until the nurses called her when my contractions were closer together or just come in at her regular scheduled arrival time to the hospital at 7:00am.
At 6:45am - 45 minutes after being told I was 6 cm - I had a very intense contraction and my body pushed. At 7:00am my midwife Patty arrived. Did I mention I had not met Patty before? Half way into my pregnancy I switched care because of our move, to a group of 3 midwives and Patty was the last one I needed to meet but just hadn't yet. She was a wonderful and kind spirit as soon as she walked into the room. I promptly told her that at the last contraction I had to push. "Alright! Let me go put my things down and get some stuff together and we can see how things are going."
When she left I had another contraction and could not stop myself from pushing again. My baby, I felt you move down into the birth canal. Patty came back in and I said "I'm so sorry. I pushed again!" She laughed and said "That's ok! Let's check you." When she did, she confirmed what I knew - I was 10 cm and you were there and I was ready to push. "We're going to have this baby now." She said as she looked into my eyes. This woman exuded compassion and wisdom and connection. "When you push I want you to look at me and keep looking at me. I will help guide you in your pushes. You can push whenever your body tells you to."
I pushed two times. On that last push, at 7:34am, you were born. As I pushed I reached down and pulled you out and brought you to my chest. You were so peaceful. You didn't cry, you just stared at me. My heart grew a million times bigger in those first moments with you. Every thing else faded away. Daddy kept trying to get my to pick your name (since we went into the birth with 3 names) but I didn't want to think about anything. I just wanted to look at you. You nursed right away and perfectly and we got to spend an hour of skin to skin with you before they weighted you. 7lbs 4 oz, 20 inches long. Your daddy was instantly in love with you, and of course let you stay on my chest for awhile, but he could not wait to hold you and talk to you.
Bonnie Irene Ellis, you are so special. You are 2 weeks old now and I feel like you've been with me my whole life. We love you so much and we have loved you before we even knew you. My pregnancy was hard. So very hard. It was awful. But you, my sweet, are good. You are peace. And you are love.

The most prolific, widely distributed and lasting works of art by Aboriginal artists are the numerous engravings on rock surfaces. These form the most ancient art of the Australian continent. Rock engravings were made if suitable rock surfaces wee available and if engraving on rock was a facet of the ritual life of the people of the area. Engravings are found in most areas, except for Victoria and central New South Wales east of the Darling River, where instead the people made images in earth for bora ceremonies. There is also little evidence of their existence in the south-west of Western Australia. In the far north of the continent, magnificent painting galleries predominate, and, apart from grinding grooves, few rock engravings have been found. Further south are major galleries of engravings extending from Port Headland to the Warburton Ranges and the ranges of central Australia. Galleries occur in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia and into western New South Wales, with many examples at Mootwingie and Sturt's Meadows. The engravings continue north into Queensland where many are found in the Carnarvon Ranges and others are near Brisbane and at Laura. On the Sydney coast the distinctive sandstone engravings are concentrated in and around the Ku-ring-gai National Park and along the Hawkesbury River.
Aboriginal artists invariably had some intention in mind when they engraved thousands of patterns, animals, tracks and figures on rock surfaces. We can now only guess at the purpose of many rock engravings, inferring their meaning and function through their association with contemporary ceremonial practice and symbolic art as well as through similarity of subject matter when compared to more recent paintings interpreted by Aboriginals themselves.

Although the word 'engraving' has overtones of cutting into metal, it is the most useful term to describe the range of methods used to cut into rock faces. Many techniques have been used; sometimes lines have been scratched through the surface of the rock. Other designs are pecked, rubbed or abraded. Apart from some executed after contact with Europeans, all the rock engravings were made by abrading, pounding or cutting the surface of one stone with a harder stone. the simplest marks are scratched or abraded grooves that vary in length and depth. These may be scattered over a surface, but they occasionally appear as sets of parallel or organised strokes. Some may simply be evidence that men ground their stone axe heads on particularly important rocks.
The analysis of rock engravings by contemporary pre-historians can frequently offer no interpretations. On the other hand, some Aboriginal observers take into account not only the designs but their whole physical presence - the way in which they are grouped, and, most importantly, the natural features nearby. Because the engravings concerned hunting magic or an ancestor spirit and because all these aspects of life throughout Australia directly related to geological formations, the living embodiments of ancestral beings, all engravings must be seen in relation to their environment and religious significance. The special quality of the sites chosen by Aboriginal rock artists can best be felt at dusk when with the low shadows of the falling sun, the engravings stand out on rock platforms, revealing hidden tracks, new signs and symbols, tantalising messages we cannot decode.
One of the problems of interpreting rock art sites is knowing what to include as part of the scheme. Scholars educated in a European tradition tend to take into account only those things that have been modified by human intervention. All the symbols have to be made on a background; however, in the past, interpretation has not included unmodified features of the environment. For Aboriginal artists such features may have great importance. Moreover, many of those unmodified features may be transient in nature, the site being used in a ritual context only at certain times of the year. Most recordings and photographs of rock engravings have concentrated on the images themselves, frequently isolating individual motifs and ignoring the combined formations that might occur over 800 metres.
For instance, photographs may include close-ups of the images while ignoring a deep, water-filled natural hole in the surface of the rock a short distance away, perhaps a sacred water pool once used in ceremony or containing life essence. such rock holes are frequently associated with large ancestor figure engravings in the Hawkesbury River area of New south Wales. Occasionally seen between the legs of an outstretched figure, they clearly had immense significance to the artist and should, therefore, be included in the observer's perception. One Aboriginal man has said that engraved grooves at Delamere station in the Northern Territory were made to cause rain to fall. for this man, the important features were not only the abraded grooves in the rock, but the whole rock formation, which he said was 'Old Man Rain himself, or Gunbalano'. When his body was cut Gunbalano bled, thus causing rain to fall. The importance of cutting the skin in ritual, whether to obtain blood or to form scars, is widespread and therefore the rock grooves at Delamere are the physical remains of a ritual act.
Other similar grooves, about which we know little, are found on vertical rocks in relatively inaccessible places, the best known and most ancient of these being the markings in Koonalda cave. On some parts of the limestone the parallel marks were probably made by drawing the fingers across the soft surface, whereas in others a stone tool was used to cut through the harder surface. Many engravings concern hunting or food supply - hunters with spears and kangaroos are frequently found. The designs change near the coast where sea creatures, fish, whales or turtles appear, perhaps occurring side by side with wallabies, emus or echidnas. Sometimes a hunter has prepared for the hunt by carving tracks or the image of the animal while singing songs to draw the animal to him.
Rock engravings at Katatjuta, Central Australia
These engravings fulfilled the same function as 'hunting magic' paintings. More often, the engravings were intended to increase totemic species or to record great feats by ancestral beings, marking places where they changed form or merged into the rock. At sites of importance it is common to find places where the rock has been repeatedly struck or pounded close to engraved images, or where objects have been rubbed against the rock. At some sacred rock art sites in central Australia men still rub their sacred ochred boards against the rock, so releasing the essence of the totemic beings at rest there. the engravings also illustrated ceremonial life, portraying characters from oral history in human form. Human ancestor figures appear, particularly in Western Australia and the Hawkesbury River area of New South Wales, in the west as pecked intaglios and in the Hawkesbury area as deeply scored linear outlines, some six metres long.
Apart from abrading grooves, the techniques used to engrave rock included cutting or gashing an outline in the rock with a sharp stone, making an outline by pounding or pecking the rock with another, thereby removing some of the surface patina and making holes and pits by rotating stone or wooden implements in one place on a rock surface. Of coarse-textured igneous rocks, images were made by pecking or pounding a shallow layer of the surface away, a technique seen in the engravings of Dampier and Depuch Islands in the north-west of the continent. Sharper tools were needed to make deeper lines found in other areas, and it is probably that flints, which were widely traded and commonly used for cutting and affixing to weapons, were also used as sculptors' tools. Images made in this way are much more precise than the pounded designs. They might also have been produced by using a sharp pointed stone placed in position and then hit with a hammer stone; this gave a great deal of control over the line.
In the first attempts to organise his extensive surveys and descriptions of rock engravings, former curator of Anthropology at the Australian Museum F.D. McCarthy postulated several phrases in rock engraving, correlating them with possible changes in culture and art over time. He suggested that the earliest markings were abraded grooves that were scattered singly over rock faces or arranged in some meaningful form and associated with bird tracks.
Engravings of a figure wearing a rayed headdress.
The second or 'outline' phase included simple representational motifs such as tortoises, circles and fish. In this category representational motifs such as tortoises, circles and fish. In this category are the Hawkesbury area sandstone engravings and those in Port Hedland, Western Australia. The grooves are relatively deep and the interiors of the forms are not worked. the third phase McCarthy postulated was formal, conventionalised and symbolic. Linear and geometric designs are most commonly found, including parallel or sinuous lines, arcs, mazes and barbed lines.
The fourth phase is representational art which includes the pecked intaglios of Depuch Island. The inner surfaces of these figures have been removed; they are solid forms rather than linear grooves. They are found in the Flinders Ranges, western New south Wales and in Western Australia and they may depict mythical characters, figures engaged in rituals and men wearing elaborate headdresses.
Non-figurative engravings
More recently, archaeologists have taken a closer look at the evidence of rock art; L. Maynard has proposed a style sequence that differs substantially from McCarthy's and attempts to organise both rock engravings and paintings into three styles. The first and earliest she termed Panaramitee after a site in South Australia that showed consistent characteristics. This art is essentially geometric and non-figurative, lacking human or animal shapes, although the most common features are tracks of macropods and birds as well as numerous circles. This art style is widespread, and includes man engravings sites in the central desert, South Australia, western New South Wales and a scattering in widely separate areas of Queensland.
Like many contemporary paintings, central Australian engravings are wholly non-figurative. The style is consistent, using a relatively narrow range of techniques, forms and motifs. The central desert sites are the 'classic' Panaramitee sites, though the style is very widely distributed and can exist at a site in combination with other styles. In the centre, the Panaramitee sites include N'Dhala Gorge, Ooraminna and Eucolo and the Cleland Hills; in south Australia there are many apart from Panaramitee itself. In Queensland, this non-figurative style is found in the Laura region beneath layers of paintings and also at Malbon, Danarra and other sites. In New South Wales it is found at Tibooburra and Narrabri; in Tasmania it is represented at Mt Cameron West.
Ancient engravings cover the rock surface south of Alice Springs.
The relationship in style of the Mt Cameron West, South Australian and central Australian engravings suggests that the Tasmanian examples are not recent. It is argued that the Tasmanians were migrants across the Bass Strait land bridge from south Australia, flooded 12,000 years ago, and so the cultural tradition that gave rise to the Mt Cameron West gallery was served then. The Mt Cameron West art is not necessarily the oldest in Tasmania; two other sites are just as significant and they may be older. The same range of style and subject is seen at both Sundown Point and Green's Creek. However, neither side can be accurately dated. Mt Cameron West engravings therefore stand as a benchmark for Tasmanian traditional art.
The second grouping Maynard postulated was the simple figurative, exemplified by the Sydney-Hawkesbury engravings. this coincided with a phase postulated by McCarthy. the third phase suggested was the complex figurative, including the Kurangara engravings of the upper Yule in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Maynard also included paintings of western Arnhem Land. She included paintings and engravings in her style analysis as she considered that the two art forms should not be separated on the basis of technique. Some of the most interesting findings have emerged from studies listing the numbers of times that certain marks or patterns have appeared at different locations. At Cleland Hills in South Australia, the most commonly published image is the now famous 'smiling face'. When discovered by Edwards, these were hailed as most extraordinary; no other faces etched so clearly had been found. However, descriptions of the site indicate that there were only a handful of faces; fifty per cent of the designs were kangaroo and emu tracks and twenty per cent were circles. Yet the site is known only for its faces.
We tend to look primarily for images that we recognise and that relate to our own perceptions of the world, perhaps ignoring the importance of other evidence relating to another world view. the existence of so many tracks, circles and other marks at most of the rock engraving sites highlights an aspect of Aboriginal perception that differs from that of Europeans. Because it was so necessary for hunters to understand and relate to the tracks and marks left by every living creature, the engravings frequently showed the 'marks' made by people and animals, rather than presenting representational images of their forms. Examples are the obvious foot tracks, tail marks of the kangaroo, egg indentations to indicate a clutch of emu eggs, arcs and circles to denote seated people and a campfire. In many cases, accurate interpretation relies on understanding Aboriginal ways of perception. Europeans are likely simply to look at an emu, admire its form and feathers, and watch or photograph it. To Aboriginal artists who hunted the bird for food or gathered its eggs from nests, tracks would always be present as a mental image sought on the ground when hunting. Straight lines engraved beside a cluster of circles indicated a bird seated on the eggs, the straight lines denoting the legs.
However, where there is no information about ceremonial life, int4erpretation of many other shapes is impossible. One image4 frequently seen in north-western Australia has been described as a 'rake' and as a 'pubic apron', referring to the hand spun hair tassels worn around the waist. Similarly, the headdresses on engraved figures are often elaborate; we can assume they illustrate ceremonial body decorations, but, without any firm knowledge, this remains conjectural. Irregularly shaped emblems are found in sacred ceremonies all over Australia and it is likely that some shapes that seem to be abstract forms relate to these. some can be termed 'barbed spear' or 'ceremonial headdress'. The challenge to unravel symbolism is always present in non-figurative engravings, but examples show the difficulties involved. Where the art sites hold contemporary significance for Aboriginal people, the code can be broken, but only if the custodians want to provide that information. very few engravings have been interpreted.
The massive body of engravings found in the Sydney region and along the Hawkesbury River was first noted in 1788 by Governor Phillip, who wrote: Hawkesbury River was first noted in 1788 by Governor Phillip, who wrote:
In all these excursions ... in the neighbourhood of Botany Bay and Port Jackson, the figures of animals, of shields, and weapons, and even of men, have been carved upon the rocks, roughly indeed, but sufficiently well to ascertain very fully what was the object intended. fish were often represented, and in one place the form of a large lizard was sketched out with tolerable accuracy. On the top of one of the hills, the figure of a man in the attitude usually assumed by them when they begin to dance, was executed in a still superior style.
Most of the readily found sites have been documented, and these number 6000 groupings and over 4000 individual figures, the largest unified boy of art so far established. The engravings are found on their own as solitary images, or in groups of over 120 images. Generally they are naturalistic images, or in groups of over 120 images. Generally they are naturalistic engravings consisting of both deeply and shallowly etched outlines and some interior detail. Simplified silhouettes of human figures, animals, fish, birds, snakes and lizards are found, as well as numerous unidentifiable shapes and symbols. Very little information about the meaning of these engravings has been gleaned from Aboriginals. However, in the 1840s an elderly woman named Gooseberry, a wife of Bungaree of Broken Bay, spoke of the engravings. She said they were done 'a long time ago' by the karajis, the clever men with knowledge of magic, and that only these and initiated men could go to the sites. In the 1930s Professor Elkin reported an interpretation of engravings north of Wollombi from a karaji living at Port Stephens; this man also said the engravings had religious meaning. It is therefore likely that at least the sites where large ancestor figures appear in combination with other neatly laid out sequences of engravings and tracks were related to the bora ceremonies, those concerned with the initiation of young men at which the voice of Dhurramulan, the son of Baiame, was heard in the whirring bullroarer.
Figures that may be Baiame or Dhurramulan occur at many sites, often with the bodies shown in frontal view but with heads turned to the side and wearing headdresses. Occasionally one large figure appears with a smaller anthropomorphic companion, and occasionally the large figure has a female companion. These are undoubtedly important religious sites. Although evidence is lacking, some conjectures seem possible, judging by descriptions of bora ceremonies at other places where designs were made in the soft ground. One site at Devil's Rock, Maroota, contains a series of engravings that lead one to conclude that it was a ceremonial site. Two huge hero images straddle the sides of the rock outcrop, nine metres apart and linked by a line of basin-like pits. this was obviously a sacred track between the ancestral heroes. Another significant image is a snake which has a deep and wide rubbed groove. The surprising image of a sailing ship is carved over a large kangaroo hit by weapons; was the sorcerer-artist seeking the same fate for the ship as befell the kangaroo?
At another sandstone site in the Ku-ring-gai chase area, the giant figure of a whale forms the central image. Numerous other smaller engravings appear to radiate from it towards rock crevices and other natural features. When a bushfire cleared the the outcrop of scrub and vegetation in 1980, two piles of boulders were noticed at one end of the site. These might have been 'offstage' shelters for ceremonial leaders; similar shelters are still made from bushes for central Australian ceremonies. The ridge on which the giant whale appears is a solitary and eerie place at dusk, for it juts into a valley and points straight out to sea. the ridge itself could even be seen to resemble the body of a whale. Some coastal peoples feasted upon beached whales and one engraving may represent such a feast. Whales were important ancestor figures on the north coast of New South Wales.
A story from the Gullibul tribe relates that the whale and all the other animals in Australia once lived a long way from the continent. The whale had a canoe in which he planned to set off across the sea. The starfish distracted him by lulling him into a trance, picking off lice from his head while all the other animals stole the canoe and set off in it. The whale and the starfish fought, leaving the starfish in tatters on the sea bed and the whale with a hole in his head. the whale pursued the canoe through the ocean, spouting water through the hole in his head. The canoe finally came to rest at Lake Illawarra, forming an island; the animals populated Australia, and the whale still cruises the coast. The creatures in the canoe were the first ancestors of the present people. The engravings of the Sydney-Hawkesbury region also include a wide range of hunting compositions illustrating the spearing of kangaroos and fish and the use of boomerangs as weapons. Dotted throughout the valleys from Berowra to the Colo River are many isolated figures, including paintings of stencilled hands. The task of protecting this art heritage is immense and in the long term is almost impossible. Although a large proportion of important sites are within park boundaries and cared for by rangers, and although it is illegal to deface or damage art works, the remoteness of sites outside parks and reserves does not allow any control. It is too easy for trail bike riders or holidaymakers to find a site and yield to the impulse of leaving their own mark on history. One magnificent large ancestor hero on Wheelbarrow Ridge road is defaced with the wheel marks of motor bikes and many others have initials carved into the rock surface.
Throughout north-western Australia, extensive galleries of engravings have been made on varying surfaces, probably at different times. Most of those so far documented occur in the region between the Ashburton River, the great Sandy Desert to the north and the Gibson Desert on the eastern side. the engravings are of two varieties. Some are of the simple figurative style showing outlines of birds, animals and figures, others are fully pecked intaglios. As Port Hedland, coastal limestone ridges provide galleries for engravings that largely reflect the people's relationship with the sea. Over 15,000 figures appear on twelve kilometres of ridges. Fish predominate and thee are also turtles, dolphins or porpoises and whales, as well as human figures, boomerangs and sacred boards. Some delightful fully pecked figures have been interpreted as Minjiburu, mythological people of local tradition. Pecked human tracks lead to them and they were probably the focus for ritual. there are both pecked outlines and pecked intaglios. The former frequently have decorative markings on the interior of their forms, including designs on engraved boards and boomerangs.
Depuch Island, less than 100 kilometres away, is a particularly interesting region with areas of diorite and dolerite boulders. Most engravings there are figurative, consisting of fully pecked intaglios in which the entire inner surface of the figures has been removed by repeatedly pecking away the crust of the rock. The dark rock surfaces thus form a background that allows the pecked inner surface of the rock to stand out strongly and for the designs to be much more readily discerned than are outline engravings. The Depuch Island engravings are miniatures, whereas Port Hedland figures are of life-sized proportions. Pecked intaglios are found there but the majority are outline engravings. Depuch Island subjects include many small human figures, often in groups showing hunting, fishing or fighting. compared to the Sydney-Hawkesbury engravings, many distinct features are shown, enabling the species of fish or animal to be clearly identifiable.
Along the Yule river catchment area, large granite domes and boulders predominate; at one site, appropriately termed Gallery Hill, they form an immense pyramid-shaped heap. Appearing as they do over the surfaces of hundreds or rocks, the engravings form one large gallery of animated art. Some figures are anthropomorphic, others have only human characteristics. There are several kinds of engraving, some superimposed on others. Generally, the human figures deserve immediate interest as they give full range to the creative imagination of the artists. The form is sophisticated, showing flowing movements. Human bodies are given unusual heads, including that of the kangaroo. In expressing the unity of man and animal species in this way, the engravings echo the elaborate Mimi paintings of Arnhem Land. Headdresses depicted have many shapes, possibly representing the waninga sacred string constructions carried on the shoulders and heads of performers during ceremonial dancing. Others show heads with antenna-like projections, including men's hair bound into elaborate and lengthy, chignons, packed with ochre and often covered with bird or plant down. These engravings also exhibit exaggerated genitals and were probably associated with ceremonial life. the figures were called kurangara or gurangara by Father E.A. Worms, who first discovered them at Gallery Hill in 1952. He gave the local explanation that the female figures showed Gurangara, whose consort was Djanka, an ancestral hero. These ancestors were the most important in a sacred ritual similar to the kunapipi of Arnhem Land, which spread westwards to the coast of Western Australia, and which is associated with the seasons, procreation and the fertility of the land.
Queensland is a vast state in which the rock art of Aboriginal artists has only recently begun to be systematically recorded. Although the engravings occurred almost wherever thee was suitable stone, detailed studies have been made only of the Mt Isa area, the central area around Carnarvon Gorge and the Laura region (south-east Cape York). The Mt Isa area has distinctive engravings. Non-figurative elements are predominant, including circles, spirals, spoked wheels, dots, arcs and tracks. In places red ochre has been painted on to fill the inner surfaces of circles and other motifs, indicating possible use in ritual. Some figurative art is present, notably at Deighton Pass, which has a figure in a large headdress, and some facial images on boulders at Carbine Creek. These faces appear ancient with weathered and patinated surfaces and the similarity between them and the engravings at Cleland Hills has been noted by scholars. the vast distances between the two places where such faces have been found makes this connection all the more remarkable. At Carbine Creek, many surfaces can be seen with engravings extending up the slopes. The presence of a four-metre-deep rock hole in the bed of the creek suggests the importance of the site to Aboriginal people, either as a ritual centre or as a source of water supply.
Apart from a few figures and the 'Cleland faces', most of the engravings here are non-figurative. this site also contains more engravings filled in with red ochre than does any other site in Australia. Ochred motifs include split circles, bird tracks, concentric arcs and spirals. The figures that do appear at Mt Isa are simple in design. Humans are shown from the front, reptiles from above and animals in profile. anatomical detail is minimal, although many figures can be identified as male. headdresses are common and include radiating lines, 'branches' and grids, and the figures may vary from ten centimetres to full size. All the figures have been filled in. At Deighton Pass the main panel of engravings occurs on vertical sections of a slate outcrop. the majority are lightly pecked through a steel grey surface patina, with several showing traces of red ochre. The main figure of a pecked human figure wearing a particularly elaborate headdress and with an exaggerated penis has also been filled in with red ochre.
At Carnarvon Gorge in central Queensland, a most distinctive series of engravings exists that has been termed cup and ring designs or vulvas. These are abraded grooves and include simple pits enclosed by circles as well as other apparently more explicit carvings. Many are covered by stencilled paintings, though to be the oldest art in the area.
Engravings were discovered in the Laura region beneath layers of paintings. These occur in many of the painting shelters as well as on their own. Percy Trezise who, over many years, explored and discovered the vast galleries of rock art in the area, has said that two styles of engraving, geometric and representational, are present in the area. He says that the protected rock shelters frequently housed geometric forms, while the possibly more recent naturalistic human figures, handprints and tracks are almost all on exposed areas such as the bed of the Laura River.
Along the Hann River the engravings depict boomerangs, fish and identifiable figures, and Trezise is confident that the geometric patterns are the older form of art, possibly made by tribes displaced when others took over their territory, thousands of years ago. An excavation of the early man shelter showed that a panel of non-figurative pecked engravings could be dated to a minimum of 13,000 years old, placing them in the Pleistocene era. The area, then, with its range of rock art may be unique in Australia, showing the earliest art style of non-figurative engravings as well as beautiful paintings of unknown antiquity in many layers.

|The Gakkel ridge, which extends under the Arctic ice cap for similar to 1,800 km, is the slowest spreading ocean ridge on Earth. Its spreading created the Eurasian basin, which is isolated from the rest of the oceanic mantle by North America, Eurasia and the Lomonosov ridge. The Gakkel ridge thus provides unique opportunities to investigate the composition of the sub- Arctic mantle and mantle heterogeneity and melting at the lower limits of seafloor spreading. The first results of the 2001 Arctic Mid- Ocean Ridge Expedition ( ref. 1) divided the Gakkel ridge into three tectonic segments, composed of robust western and eastern volcanic zones separated by a `sparsely magmatic zone'. On the basis of Sr - Nd - Pb isotope ratios and trace elements in basalts from the spreading axis, we show that the sparsely magmatic zone contains an abrupt mantle compositional boundary. Basalts to the west of the boundary display affinities to the Southern Hemisphere 'Dupal' isotopic province(2), whereas those to the east - closest to the Eurasian continent and where the spreading rate is slowest display affinities to 'Northern Hemisphere' ridges. The western zone is the only known spreading ridge outside the Southern Hemisphere that samples a significant upper- mantle region with Dupal- like characteristics. Although the cause of Dupal mantle has been long debated, we show that the source of this signature beneath the western Gakkel ridge was subcontinental lithospheric mantle that delaminated and became integrated into the convecting Arctic asthenosphere. This occurred as North Atlantic mantle propagated north into the Arctic during the separation of Svalbard and Greenland.

Corrections and clarifications: An earlier story version misstated the date the Blue Lives Matter display was posted.
It's National Police Week, but at least one college, a show of support did not go over without a problem.
A "Blue Lives Matter" display at Dartmouth College that went up May 12 in a student center was removed and replaced with Black Lives Matter posters, according to The Dartmouth, the New Hampshire school's student newspaper. Members of the school-sponsored organization Dartmouth College Republicans created the original display.
"Not only did they replace our billboard with their display, they also replaced all of the other billboards in the student center with Black Lives Matter posters and posted pictures of our club members' faces with 'Sons of Old Dartmouth' written over it," Michelle Knesbach, president of Dartmouth College Republicans, told Foxnews.com.
The Blue Lives Matter movement goes back to at least 2014. Blue Lives Matter NYC says the movement was created to help law enforcement officers and their families during times of need, according to its website.
The incident was decried by many as an attempt to stop free speech.
In a statement posted Wednesday, the activist organization Concerned Students of Dartmouth noted that "we acknowledge that many of you are concerned about the question of free speech. However, one hundred students' disapproval for 'Blue Lives Matter' does not constitute a disregard for free speech, nor does it condemn policemen who have died in the line of duty. What it does constitute is a concern for anti-blackness on this campus and nationwide.
"Movements like 'All Lives Matter' and 'Blue Lives Matter' are created purposefully as counter-narratives to deny the relevance of the original movement, 'Black Lives Matter.' Regardless of intention, displaying these slogans ignores the context in which 'Black Lives Matter' has arisen," the statement said.
Campus administration did not address the incident until later that weekend. On Sunday, a statement signed by the college's president, provost, vice provost and dean was emailed to students. In it, the actions of the protesters were deemed "an unacceptable violation of freedom" and a form of vandalism. The statement also referred to a situation that occurred earlier in the year, in which a Black Lives Matter display was defaced, as another incident of vandalism.
National Police Week is officially May 15- May 21.

Taylor Kitsch's passion for hockey served as therapy to help him get through a recent love split.
The Lone Survivor hunk stays out of the Hollywood spotlight by splitting his time between his native Canada and Austin, Texas, where he filmed TV series Friday Night Lights, and he has even managed to keep a steady relationship out of the public eye.
However, after the split from his unidentified girlfriend, he was left devastated and turned to the one thing that took his mind off his heartache - hockey.
Kitsch tells Man of the World magazine, "I'm not getting married next year, I'll tell you that much. Hockey's like therapy for me. I went through a terrible break-up a while ago and it was the one thing that allowed me to actually not think about it for an hour and a half."

2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Guy Stuff
Guys are pretty easy to shop for. Most of the time, you can just get stuff you'd buy for yourself. Yet sometimes, when you're shopping for your dad, brother or any other guy on your shopping list, you have to cast a wider net, because tastes obviously vary. Still, at least you can pick up some stuff for yourself while you're browsing.
Click the links to purchase each product online, and for more gift ideas, check out the other categories in our Holiday Gift Guide.
Philips Sonicare DiamondClean & AirFloss
Ask your dentist about the best way to keep your teeth clean and they'll probably recommend an electronic toothbrush. Though there's an intimidating selection of brands and models to choose from, we've been using the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean for just over three months now and couldn't be happier with the results. Powered by Sonic technology that delivers 31,000 brush strokes a minute, the DiamondClean uses gentle sweeping motions that drive fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along your gum line, removing plague in hard-to-reach areas and helping to prevent gum recession. Not every mouth was created equal, so the DiamondClean offers five unique modes – Clean, White, Polish, Gum Care and Sensitive – for a custom cleaning that will meet your specific needs, while the included Quadpacer beeps every 30 seconds to ensure you thoroughly brush all four quadrants. If the toothbrush itself wasn't cool enough, it also comes with a charging glass that can be used for rinsing your mouth when removed from the base, as well as an ultra-sleek travel case that doubles as a charger when plugged into your laptop's USB port or a wall outlet.
For those looking to add another line of defense to their cleaning regiment, the Philips Sonicare AirFloss helps remove stubborn plague buildup with a quick burst of air and micro-water droplets. It only requires a teaspoon of water (or mouthwash, if you feel so inclined) to clean an entire mouth, and has been proven to be safe and gentle on teeth and gums. But while its name might suggest otherwise, the AirFloss shouldn't be used as an alternative to regular flossing, so don't even bother trying unless you want a lecture from the dentist at your next appointment.
The Wellie Boot
These are great work boots from The Original Muck Boot Company that are also stylish enough to use as casual boots for everyday use or going out. This is a functional work boot that also looks stylish as well. The key feature is standing comfort on hard surfaces with the boot's shock absorbing outsole and Gel-Core sub-sole that adds cushioning. The Wellie is a mid-height full grain leather pull-on boot that is 100% waterproof and features breathable Hydroguard and Airmesh lining to displace moisture effectively to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They're also available with a composite toe for increased workplace safety. The Wellie comes in brown, black and wheat featuring impressive Crazy Horse full grain leather, making the Wellie a boot you can wear out with jeans or casual pants as well.

KU Edwards Room Rental Cancellations and No Shows
To describe requirements and penalties for canceling an event.
All faculty, staff, students, and campus visitors.
External clients may cancel their meeting room reservation without charge or penalty up to the end of the business day one week prior to their event. For example, a 7 p.m. reservation on a Friday must be cancelled by contacting the Administration and Conference Events Manager (913-897-8410) no later than 5 p.m. on the preceding Thursday one week prior to event. Please note business hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Weekend cancellations must be communicated by 5 p.m. on the preceding Friday one week prior to event.
Event cancellations that include services such as catering, audio visual equipment and/or personnel charges require this one week prior to event notice to avoid charges. When a group or individual does not utilize a meeting room reservation and does not communicate to the Event Services Office in the timely manner described above, the group or individual has committed a "no show" and is subject to the following:
- Off-Campus Organizations or Individuals. These entities are responsible for paying a 15% cancellation/no-show fee.
- Student Organization or University Department Events. A warning is issued upon the first occurrence during a semester and documented on the reserving group's account. Upon a second no-show all remaining semester reservations for the group will be canceled and no additional reservations will be permitted during the remainder of the semester.
The Edwards Campus reserves the right to cancel a reservation if it conflicts with the general policies of the University regarding meetings on campus or in case of an emergency.
Laurie Brown
Administration and Conference Events Manager
07-15-2015: This policy was originally created on 07-01-2004. The Edwards Campus Policy & Procedures Committee changed the title to make it uniform, updated the $50 cancellation/no show fee to the current fee of 15%, updated the contact information, and added related policies. During a comprehensive review of all Edwards Campus policies, the Edwards Campus Vice Chancellor reviewed and reapproved this policy.

(Adds Boehner spokesman comment, background, last four paragraphs.)
WASHINGTON, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the Senate, said on Tuesday that President Barack Obama had invited the leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives to the White House on Wednesday for a meeting on Iraq.
He told reporters at the Capitol that he, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Speaker John Boehner and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi had been invited.
A White House official confirmed the meeting, describing it as part of Obama's "ongoing consultations" with congressional leaders on foreign policy issues, including Iraq.
The Republican lawmakers said they hoped Obama would spell out a plan for Iraq.
"We spent years, vast sums of money, and - most importantly - thousands of American lives to improve Iraq's security and make America safer. Squandering that legacy would be a tragic mistake," said Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner.
Obama administration officials have been holding a series of classified briefings for members of Congress about the situation in Iraq as they finalize a strategy for dealing with the crisis there.
But congressional leaders noted that Obama is not legally required to obtain permission from Congress before taking action. (Reporting by Patricia Zengerle; Additional reporting by Roberta Rampton.; Editing by Eric Beech and Ken Wills)

Would the US hold off military strikes if Bashar al-Assad surrenders his chemical weapons?
"Absolutely, if in fact that happened." (ABC)
How credible is the Russian proposal?
"We're going to run this to ground. And John Kerry and the rest of my national security team will engage with the Russians and the international community to see, can we arrive at something that is enforceable and serious." (CNN)
"The key is, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, that we don't just trust, but we also verify. And so the importance is to make sure that the international community has confidence that these chemical weapons are under control, that they are not being used, that potentially they are removed from Syria and that they are destroyed." (CBS)
"It is a potentially positive development. I have to say that it's unlikely that we would've arrived at that point, where there were even public statements like that, without a credible military threat to deal with the chemical weapons use inside of Syria." (CNN)
On US public hostility to military action:
"I'm not looking for an excuse to engage in military action. And I understand deeply how the American people, after a decade of war, are not interested in any kind of military action that they don't believe involves our direct national security interests." (CBS)
Will Congress vote for military action?
"I wouldn't say I'm confident." (NBC)
When asked about John Kerry's claim the US intervention would be "unbelievably small":
"The US does not do pinpricks. Our military is the greatest the world has ever known and when we take even minimal strikes it has an effect on a country like Syria that does not have a tremendous military capability."(NBC)
Would the White House move ahead with strikes even if Congress votes against them?
"I think its fair to say that I haven't decided. I am taking this vote in Congress and what the American people are saying very seriously." (NBC)
"Its my belief that for me the president to act without consensus in a situation where there is not a direct imminent threat to the homeland or our interests around the world, that is not the kind of precedent that I want to set." (NBC)
On the prospect of retaliation against a US strike:
"Mr Assad doesn't have a lot of capability. He has capability relative to children. He has capability relative to an opposition that is still getting itself organised and are not professional trained fighters. He doesn't have a credible means to threaten the United States. His allies, Iran and Hizbollah, could potentially engage in asymmetrical strikes against us, but frankly the kind of threats they could pose against us are typical of the kinds of threats that we're dealing with around the world" (CNN)
"Iran is not going to risk a war with the United States over this." (NBC)

It's that time of year. Mornings are chilly, the leaves on the maple trees in front of my house are turning, and before long will be falling.
The apples on my little Macoun tree ripened and have been picked with hopes of a bigger crop next year.
In my book, there is no better apple than a Macoun. A cross between McIntosh and Jersey Black, they were developed at the experimental station in Geneva, New York.
I remember buying them at a local fruit stand near there when my kids were small. Bright white flesh, crunchy and juicy, with just the right ratio of sweet to tart. I do wish the apple growers around this part of the country would try them.
I've come to the conclusion that one dwarf tree is not enough, and hopefully I will import a couple more from Canandaigua, New York, next spring. Who knows, if I have more to spread around maybe I can encourage an interest in them here.
We have a number of things coming up this month, and I think we'll continue to do so through the holidays:
At 6 p.m. Sunday, Grace Lutheran church brings Allan Lemke in his performance of "Martin: The Life of Martin Luther." The performance is free, and all are welcome. The program has had positive reports by both Lutheran and other denominations, and has been performed in more than 23 states.
At 10:30 a.m. Thursday, the Ladies Christian Fellowship will meet at the Trinity Center of St.Paul's Episcopal
Church. There will be a speaker, special music, and a report on the progress of the Not Ashamed club at the high school. Lunch will be catered by Lesina's at $12 per person. Reservations are needed to order sufficient food. For that and any questions, call Liz at 707-464-3539, or Bonnie at 707-482-3705.
Oct. 21, Grace Lutheran is sponsoring a hurricane relief fish fry at the fairgrounds. You can eat in or take out for a donation of $10. Proceeds will be matched by Thrivent Financial.
On Oct. 22, the Seventh-day Adventist church brings you this year's annual vegetarian cooking class. The theme this year is "A Vegan Thanksgiving." There will be demonstrations, door prizes and samples of various recipes. I may not be vegan but the listed dishes sound pretty good. Space is limited, so if you are interested, you need to call the church 707-464 -2738 to reserve.
Oct. 20, is game night at New Life Community Church. The fun starts at 6 p.m. Bring a snack item to share and your favorite board game or take part in a game already there. You are welcome even if you are not a member of New Life. It's just good fun and fellowship and who knows, you might find a new friend.
Halloween is coming and it's a time that we need to stay alert for the safety of our local youngsters. Please let me know if your church is planning a harvest party to give them a safe place to spend the evening.
To contact Martha Williams, call 707-460-3000, or email email@example.com

It's good to see you put so much thought into it. ++
Far more important though is not any given style of coding but the conformity to that style. There's no more heinous crime than to change the way code is presented half way through a program. Grrrr --.
What would be ideal then, would be to be able to reconfigure how the source looks when you want to work on it. Hmm something along the lines of a turbo-charged Perl::Tidy springs to min, driven by a users config file. (The include/remove unwanted constructors & POD interleaved/at end would be fun parts to write!).
P.S 3 space indent lines up nicely with if statements :o)
'I think the problem lies in the fact that your data doesn't fit my program'.

However, despite the fact that I love people and I'm all let's ride bikes and have drinks and go out to dinner do you want to go running with me let's be friends can we be friends, I cannot deal with huge crowds, lollygaggers and traffic and lots of humans, particularly sweaty and wearing too much compression, bunched up in one place. So the ironman expo crowds always make me crazy. The fortunate thing about living in Boulder is that I was able to hit packet pickup early on Thursday and then get the hell out of town before I stabbed someone. Friday was a more relaxed day, I hung out with my beautiful speedo men and annoyed the shit out of everyone with my taper happiness, I had breakfast and a pedicure with my girl, I took a nap, and then headed out to one of the places that I go when I want nothing but quiet and sunshine and the wide sweet sky.
I read through my favorite passages from some of the many books I plowed through over the past spring. I did some thinking about the race and what success looked like for me, I wrote it down so then I could let it go, release it into the universe to be whatever it would be. I spent even more time laying on my back, watching clouds, letting my mind wander, blank and calm and inviting that which was meant for me. When I finally rolled up my blanket to head home, I felt centered. Light. And very definitely, ready.
It was wonderful to cook dinner in my kitchen and sleep in my own bed the night before ironman; for that, this race gets a plus sign. The wake-up was no less early and I know a lot of people were upset about race morning logistics, but I had no complaints. We found parking easily, dropped off our special needs bags (which I kissed and said see you in a few hours OSMO!), hopped on the bus and headed back up to the reservoir. I plugged in headphones and burrowed into my bubble, set the steady rhythm for the day. The song I listened to on race morning is the same song I had repeating just before I toed the line at Moab earlier this spring. The lyrics and music aren't really that meaningful, it's simply something that I can turn on repeat and let flow, mellow in my blood, although there is one line that I quite like, when oblivion is calling out your name, you always take it further than I ever can. And I don't quite want oblivion on race morning, I don't want to be unaware, but I do want to be on the other side of the glass, to separate myself, mind and body, as much as I can from my surroundings, to prepare. For battle.
After about twenty minutes, I climbed back through the gap in the fence and found my people and went through all the spraying and lubing and greasing and yanking that goes into getting ready to swim. I plugged in my ear plugs and hugged everyone and then worked my way into the starting corral. I had decided to seed myself right on the one hour line - back of the hour and under or front of the hour and up (they actually mushed together into one giant lump of wetsuits). There weren't a lot of women up there, and that worried me, but there were plenty of men that looked more than capable of dragging me around, so I hung out a bit, and then I saw someone who I swim with at masters and we're pretty darn close so I felt good about where I was. It was quiet, I remember being smashed like tiny smelly fish in a can at Lake Placid before the swim started, but at Boulder, there was plenty of room. People weren't really talking, and it surprised me when the cannon went off and we splashed most eagerly into the water.
Drafting, in ironman, is not something I worry about. Even being in the front-ish part of the field, there are still many faster swimmers out there (151 at Boulder, for example), so I don't stress about locking onto feet and stalking them throughout the course. I figure that the enormous mass of people moving somewhat frantically in the same direction will give me enough of a draft without getting kicked in the face.
Being a slightly faster swimmer this year made a huge difference in my experience in the water. The physical contact I experienced was aggressive, I got thumped and whacked and had to yank my leg out of someone's hand grasping for my timing chip (why? why do people do this?) at least a half-dozen times, but the swimmers around me were also moving straight and steady and in the right direction. I sighted every so often, just to make sure that I wasn't barreling off towards Kansas, I counted buoys, and when I hit the first turn a mile out, I kicked a bit to make the left and realized that I hadn't been kicking at all (pink cap!).
There isn't a lot to say here - my day was all about the run, and lord knows I'll have enough to say when I finally get there. I swam conservatively, steadily, I counted my strokes, I breathed, I spent at least a half mile trying to pee and then, I think, the entire next half mile peeing (thanks PreLoad!), and then went back to counting, watching buoys, and patiently waiting for the shore to come back to me.
I don't wear a watch during the swim and somehow always manage to miss the clock, so I had no idea what I swam. When I got back to Facebook about 24 hours later, I saw that my good buddy Emily posted this and, well, as she said, fucking legit. Only one woman in my age group swam under an hour which gives me information about the conditions of the day. While I am still going to continue to chase the appropriately-executed sub-60 ironman swim, my definition of success (written down Friday afternoon) had nothing to do with a time and everything to do with focus, concentration, and intent. And when I climbed up onto the beach and ran across the timing mat, I thought to myself, whatever that was, was a success.
Swim: 2.4 miles, 1:05:07, 10th AG/33rd F
Transition was awesome. I knew a lot of people volunteering, and I felt like I heard my name a hundred times as I ran into the changing tent. Someone I swim with at Rally was my volunteer, and she was calm and speedy and got me swiftly into my shorts and out the door. I heard go Katie! from everywhere again as I ran across the grass towards my bike, I tried to smile and wave and sip my OSMO and chew down my bar all at once.
I had the thought, this is why doing a race at home is amazing, because I will spend all day feeling like a superstar and that thought buoyed me up and out, I was happy to be rolling, ready to settle into the first part of the day that ever actually feels like work. Onwards, upwards, and out we go.

CBS News's Sharyl Attkisson scored interviews with a number of anonymous White House officials who agreed to talk candidly about the Administration's reaction to the September 11 terror attack in Libya.
What they apparently refuse to talk about, though, is something else no one else will talk about: a crucial meeting, mentioned by Obama Advisor Ben Rhodes in emails recently made public, that took place surrounding the shaping of the CIA's talking points:
As the various agencies worked to edit and approve the talking points on Sept. 14, Mr. Obama's Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes emailed that there would be a Deputies meeting the next morning to work out the issues. "That's polite code for let's not debate this on e-mail for 18 hours," said one official involved. (Ben Rhodes is the brother of CBS News President David Rhodes.)
Even today, nobody will say on the record, or even off the record to CBS News, who was at the Deputies meeting on the morning of Sept. 15, where the talking points were drastically pared down for Rice's use. The approved version called the attacks "demonstrations" that "evolved" after being "spontaneously inspired" by protest at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. All mentions of terrorism, al Qaeda and previous warnings given by the CIA had been excised.
Wednesday's release of 94 emails only tells part of a story that would finally explain how the talking points were finally shaped and edited and who shaped them. Moreover, they were shaped into something that had no resemblance to the truth, but were very helpful to a president less than sixty days away from an election.
The Narrative coming out of the White House after the release of the 94 emails is that the emails prove the White House had no role in manipulating the talking points. Only Hillary Clinton's State Department is on the hook for that (though State is still part of the Obama Administration).
But we still don't know the full story, and we won't until we see any emails that might have been exchanged between the White House and the CIA during the crucial forty-eight hours after the terror attack and before the drafting of what would end up being the first draft of the talking points. Nor do we have any information on this "Deputies meeting" where "the talking points were drastically pared down for Rice's use."
This isn't a fishing expedition, either. White House spokesman Jay Carney has already been caught in a lie with his longstanding claim that the Administration played no role in editing the talking points, outside of changing a single word — a "stylistic edit," as he called it. Well, State demanded a received almost a total rewrite.
So, at this point we know for a fact that we can no longer take the White House's word for anything.

The Samoan international wing scored a try in Wasps' 17-15 win, with the visitors then surviving 20 minutes of second-half injury time and relentless Bath pressure to emerge triumphant.
Wasps also had their England and Lions prop Tim Payne sent off during the fraught Recreation Ground finale.
Lemi, who is now sidelined for up to six weeks because of a wrist injury, said: "I really regret any gestures that may have caused any supporters or players offence at the game on Saturday.
"The game was extremely tense and very emotional for me personally. I lost myself in the emotion of the win at the final whistle.
"It was not my intention to offend or make any gesture that would upset anyone in the ground, and I would like to apologise for my actions. The game was very tight and passionate, and I lost myself in that moment.
"I have let myself and my team-mates down, and I would like to offer my sincere apology for this. The game of rugby is one I love, and I would never wish to offend any spectator or player through my actions."
Wasps rugby director Tony Hanks revealed that Lemi's formal apology followed an internal review at the club.
"Having been treated for an injury sustained in the game, which now rules him out for six weeks, this was the first opportunity to look into the game and David was extremely upset that he may have caused anyone any offence at The Rec," said Hanks.
"Actions of this nature are extremely out of character for David, and although this game was hugely intense and full of drama in the final stages, we do not excuse any action that could bring the game into disrepute or cause any player or spectator any offence."
Lemi, who joined Wasps from Bristol earlier this summer, is now set to miss four Premiership games and his new club's opening two European Challenge Cup pool matches.
Meanwhile, RFU Disciplinary Officer Jeff Blackett has issued Lemi with a warning. He said: "There is no place for this sort of behaviour in rugby union and I have warned David as to his future conduct."
Leicester coach Richard Cockerill has played down the impact of the mounting injury crisis at the club, claiming that his players will "front up" against Newcastle Falcons on Saturday.
Tigers flanker Ben Woods became the club's latest casualty, with confirmation that he suffered broken foot at Harlequins last Saturday, which rules him out for six weeks.
Woods joins Dan Hipkiss, Dan Cole and Boris Stankovic on the injury list, who will all miss the Welford Road encounter along with Lewis Moody, who has a hamstring problem, and Toby Flood, Sam Vesty and Alesana Tuilagi, who all have long-term problems.
"We've got a good squad, whoever we put out at the weekend will be good players," Cockerill said. "We've been in this position before when we've had injuries and the guys who've stepped in have always fronted up and done the job for us."
Dwayne Peel faces a race against time to be fit for Wales' autumn Tests after sustaining a groin injury. The Sale Sharks scrum-half, 27, will be out for at least three weeks after straining his groin in training.
There was better news for Leeds Carnegie, with their new signing Henry Fa'afili gaining clearance for his visa to move to the UK.
Northampton Saints have confirmed their plans to expand Franklin's Gardens into a 17,000 capacity stadium. The club will sell their lease on the Edgar Mobbs car park to ASDA, to fund the £6 million development.

Police arrest five over mobile phone blag
9,649 Samsung A300 phones recovered
Five men were arrested yesterday after the recovery of thousands of phones taken during one of Britain's biggest ever mobile phone theft.
Officers arrested five suspects after a raid last night on an address in West London. They recovered 9,649 Samsung A300 phones from the premises and a nearby parked van.
The mobiles are among a haul of 23,000 phones, worth an estimated £4.2 million, stolen from a freight-forwarding warehouse in Hayes, Middlesex last Sunday. That leaves more than 13,000 phones still missing.
None of the phones had a SIM card inside them and have reportedly been deactivated using the international serial numbers programmed into each handset, though Reg readers have expressed doubts about whether this was possible.
The authorities were concerned that the phones might be reprogrammed by the gang and sold overseas, or on the black market here.
Samsung is offering a £200,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the mobiles.
Police are continuing to question the arrested men about the crime. ®
