UFOs HAVE BEEN REPORTED: in New York, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Canada, Mexico, and Italy. Our satellites are picking up hundreds of uncorrelated targets each day that may include UFOs.
Tim Radford, science editor of the Guardian reports that: "Astronomers have used the Hubble space telescope to detect the atmosphere of a planet circling a star 150 light years away." The discovery reawakens the dream of detecting extraterrestrial life in other star systems. A new breed of astrobiologists is convinced that life on any distant planet would leave its signature in the air -- just as methane and oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere would be a clue to any passing aliens that the planet was inhabited. "Only a decade ago, planets outside the solar system were still in the realm of science fiction," said David Charbonneau, of the California Institute of Technology, who led the study. "Searching for a star's unseen planetary companion was crazy, and hoping to see its atmosphere was even crazier." Now planets are discovered monthly, and even their atmospheres are in reach, he said. "Suddenly, discussing searches for Earth-like planets seems quite reasonable." But he discovered no sign of life. The atmosphere of the planet that circles the star HD209458, in the constellation Pegasus, is rich in sodium. The planet itself is likely to be an inhospitable gas giant, like Jupiter. More than 80 planets have now been identified around distant stars. Thanks to Joe Stefula and Guardian 11/28/01
Editor's Note: Dr. Robert Trundle author of "UFOs: Politics, God and Science" from Northern Kentucky University notes that this is an important step in the search for extraterrestrial life. Astronomers have made the first direct detection of the chemical composition (sodium) of the atmosphere of a planet orbiting a distant star.
In case you missed it, the computer company Intel has been running two different ads for its Pentium 4 featuring those Gray Aliens. The commercials are shown during Prime Time. Thanks to Robert M. Collins.
Debunker James E. Oberg who wrote the article concerning astronauts never seeing an actual UFO in "The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters" questioned the statements attributed to Astronaut Cernan in last week's Filer's Files. My quote was that: Eugene Cernan who was the commander of Apollo 17 that flew to the moon. In a Los Angeles Times article in 1973 he said, about UFOs: "I've been asked (about UFOs) and I've said publicly I thought they (UFOs) were somebody else, some other civilization.
"I must admit I'm unable to get on the Internet due to computer problems, so I was unable to find an exact copy of the article. Jan Aldrich helped me out by finding the article in the Los Angeles Times, January 6, 1973, Chriss Nicholas, "Cernan Says Other Earths Exist," Jan says, "The article is authentic." Cernan says, "I'm one of those guys who has never seen a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object). But I've been asked, and I've said publicly I thought they were somebody else, some other civilization." Gene Cernan goes on about his positive views on life in space and the abundance of other civilizations. So the quote is slightly different than given many places on the web, but it is authentic. Thanks to Jan Aldrich and James Oberg.
BROOKLYN -- The witness was in a park on November 15, 2001, I noticed that the clouds were being blown by the wind, and from behind the clouds I noticed a white glowing sort of teardrop shaped craft. Behind the teardrop craft was a little blue dot, tailing it. It seemed to be attached to the teardrop or was being pulled by a blue glowing beam. It was moving pretty fast, but it seemed to circle the whole park, which is at least four miles in diameter. Then it just left it made no sound at all. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
EDGE WATER -- On November 9, 2001, the witness was outside aligning his satellite dish, when he looked up, and right above him was something like a lit up flock of flying birds. This was impossible because there were no lights shining up and it was dark at 8:20 PM. The lights moved closer to each other and moved away making a V-shape. It was like a big bird flapping it's wings. The witness said, "This is the first time, I've ever seen anything like this and it didn't make a sound either. The thing that freaked me out the most was that there were three planes, immediately after I saw the V- shaped craft. I don't even believe in UFOs, but I'm not sure now."
PANAMA CITY BEACH -- At 2:55 AM, the witness saw a glowing orange chevron shaped object fly rapidly across the sky from west to east on November 9, 2001. The witness is a sane, sober 51-year old professional who has always been skeptical of UFO sightings. He says, "Last night I saw something, which I cannot explain. I fell asleep early in the evening and had to walk my dog at 2:55 AM. I decided to look for meteors when I noticed a glowing pale orange "shape" rapidly moving east, very faint to be barely discernible. The orange light seemed almost translucent and was shaped like a boomerang or chevron, except the leading edge was straight across as opposed to a "V" shape on the front edge. It was perfectly symmetrical across its width. I had difficulty determining the true size, altitude, or speed but it covered 100 to 120 degrees in 5 to 7 seconds. This seemed to be an unbelievable rate of speed. I would judge the width of the object to be 5 or 6 times a full moon's diameter. The length of the object from front to rear was perhaps 1 X a full moon's diameter. The object made no sound. I am 100% convinced the object was not a natural phenomenon such as a meteor or a cloud. Peter Davenport reports he spoke at length with this witness, and we found him to be exceptionally credible. We suspect this was a very interesting sighting, similar to others that have been reported to NUFORC recently. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
LA GRANGE -- Researcher John Thompson says today I thought I saw a rare daytime UFO. It went back and forth slowly; left-to-right, right-to-left repeatedly, for about five minutes. It seemed to stop on a dime and reverse direction. I took several photos of the object as it, occasionally, flickered brightly with the reflection of sunlight. Guess what? It was a glider catching thermos! I called the La Grange Airport to confirm. If I had a video, however, shot from afar everybody would swear, as another person with me who was watching agreed, that no plane could do that. Gliders can because they have an unbelievable low stall speed. I now know what the darting and reversing object in the famous 1994 Mexico City UFO video was probably a glider. It was shot from a similar distance as it went in and out of a cloud. Thanks to John Thompson
VICKSBURG -- My lady friend and I had gone to the Dollar General Store on November 16, 2001. She was baby-sitting two children who were with us. My friend went into the store and I sat in my truck with the kids and waited for her. It was about 5:30 PM, and the sun was going down. The sky was very clear and a light color, but the ground was almost as dark as night. The four year old child pointed to the sky and said that she saw a light in the sky, which I'm sure, was the crescent moon. When I looked up to see what it was, I saw the moon and at a distance was a dark object shaped like a plump Hershey's Kiss, or perhaps a teardrop with a slightly flattened-out bottom. It was black in an appearance with a pointed top and seemed to have an extremely faint aura around it that my friend also noticed. There were no lights on it, and it made no sound. It was east of us in the direction of the Mississippi River. Several others also sighted the UFO. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
MEMPHIS -- The witness reports, "I was on my way to work, traveling eastbound on Winchester Road on November 2, 2001, just outside of the Memphis city limits." There was low cloud cover covering the sun at 5:00 AM. I noticed a long, black object traveling south at high speed beneath the clouds. The object was traveling far faster than any flock of geese could fly. There appeared to be a black "smudge" behind the object. I at first thought this might be a black vapor trail, but the "smudge seemed to move in tandem with the object but didn't linger in the sky. As we got closer I saw an acute triangular shape with blurred indistinct edges. It moved across the sky at high speed and was out of sight within seconds. I'm a professional with two college degrees and skywatch planes regularly at Memphis International Airport. I've never seen anything to compare with what I saw this morning.
MEMPHIS -- Two weeks later a Flying Triangle was spotted on November 14, 2001, by the same witness. He says, "Leaving for work at 5:28 AM, I stopped to pick up the newspaper in our driveway. A definite and very well defined and dark lengthy shadow flitted across the driveway." There was no sound associated with the passing of this shadow. The shadow startled me so I jumped into my car instead of picking up the paper. My first impression was that something huge had flown beneath the streetlight and cast the shadow. This explanation was quickly discarded due to the physical impossibility of such an event, but I was puzzled by what I saw. It appeared that our cat had been startled as well by the passing shadow because she ducked for cover under a hedge.
At 5:35 A.M., an hour before sunrise, and I am traveling east on Winchester Road going to work early to complete a project. The usual Fed Ex jets are flying past on their flight paths to Memphis Airport. When I passed the Nike plant, I noticed a "plane" that seemed much lower than normal for this part of the landing pattern. It definitely caught my attention. It appeared to be hovering in place at a spot just east of the Nike plant on the north side of Winchester Road. This area is about five miles away from my home. I slowed down and came almost to a stop to get a better look at the "plane." It was my perception that it was not moving at all. As I studied it, I realized that there was no strobe light on it. It also did not cast its lights ahead of it, as you would normally expect to see the lights of a jet beamed straight ahead. Instead there were three white lights aimed downward. It was then that I perceived that I was looking at a triangular-shaped craft with three bright white lights, one at each corner, and a single red light in the middle of the underside of the craft.
The craft was the size of a fifty-cent piece held at arm's length and a quarter to a half-mile away hovering in place. It seemed to be hovering over an empty field. I got quite a good look at it for a period of time I would estimate as long as two minutes. I continued heading slowly eastward until I lost sight of the object as I passed some trees. It was then that I resolved to make a quick U-turn, go back, and get another look. I found a place about two blocks farther on to turn around, and I raced back to look at the object again. There was no trace of it whatsoever! I searched the sky for several minutes in vain. The object had quite simply vanished. This craft was lower than the passing jets, and the lights appeared to be of a different intensity. Thanks to NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
BOYNE CITY -- At 8:00 PM my husband and I sat down to watch TV and I heard a loud rumbling sound outside on November 15, 2001. I looked out the window and did not see anything. The next morning our office gal told me she had heard the loud noise at the same time, and saw a flying object over her home heading west that then came back east over her home a second time.
BOYNE CITY -- A second witness also reports hearing a loud rumbling noise at 8:00 PM the same night and went to her back door to listen. Thinking it was a jet plane she went back inside but the noise continued getting louder, so she went out again. She only saw stars, and went back inside and asked her husband, son, and son's friend, "Can't you hear that?" They thought it was just a slow jet but went outside to look. They rushed back in, and said, "Come out and see this!" The witness states, "We could see this huge diamond shape UFO with elongated bottom, with a light at each tip and an orange light in the middle." It gradually moved off to the northwest but within five minutes it was coming back. We all watched as it traveled over our home traveling southeast, when it got over Boyne City all of a sudden all of the outside lights started to spin around. Shortly the light on the right side veered off over Lake Charlevoix, which was to the west, while rest of the craft continued on its course, but soon the lone light came back and was heading the same direction as the large craft. It traveled until it was out of sight. I then started calling law enforcement agencies, FAA, and local airports but was unable to find out anything.
MANCELONA -- Also on November 15, 2001, about ten minutes later at 8:10 PM, my husband and I saw a UFO. It was a bell shape cylinder top with saucer like bottom. It had three red lights on it in the shape of a triangle. It glowed reddish with a little whitish light. It had some time of a grill around its middle. It moved very slowly to the left as it was faced towards us. There were two other normal aircraft following it. We saw it for about eight minutes before it went out of our sight behind the trees. We took 3 pictures but they didn't turn out very well. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
ONEIDA COUNTY -- Mr. Iman reported to UFOWisconsin that on November 21, 2001, traveling north on Highway 51 near Minocqua, he noticed how bright the stars were that night. Mr. Inman is from the Chicago area where the city lights impair viewing. Suddenly at 8:30 PM in front of us, what looked like a bright star fell into the forest at a VERY fast rate. My girlfriend also saw it and we couldn't figure out what it was. Too fast for anything else and it looked to be ten miles north of us. Never seen anything like it before. Thanks to Jenny Hoppe email@example.com, UFOWisconsin: http://www.ufowisconsin.com/county/reports/r2001_1121_oneida.html
CHICAGO -- On November 15, 2001, a female witness reports. "I just turned onto our street, I saw an object float over a building across from us. I was a little taken aback; I told her to look, and then decided it must be a plastic bag, blown up by the wind. The only thing was that it was clearly moving at a constant rate; it had a specific direction (east north east) and had an orange glow that was not from ambient light. I can only describe its shape as akin to a baby pacifier. It moved quickly, but with a simultaneous rocking motion, that seemed very measured and constant. It moved so quickly, about the distance of three quarters of a mile, at about a minute's passing. I might add that even though I'm in Chicago, it was a particularly still day today. Very strange, for some reason, seems noteworthy
BATH -- On November 6, 2001, the witness observed a disk shaped object at 9:15 PM, and took five minutes of video of an orange round bright light (zoomed), it had six smaller lights illuminating around it. From a distance without the camera you could see the outline of the saucer. Zoomed in on the saucer you could see the small lights and 1 bright orange color light that would get brighter and bigger and then fade away into nothing but then would come back again. The saucer was coming toward my direction and once I was filming it remained in the same spot. After filming I got in my car and was traveling east. As I was moving it was moving east also. I stopped at a friend's house and she also saw the red/orange color light and the outline of the saucer. It remained in the same spot. I got back in my car approximately 10 minutes later headed back west to my home. The light was still there but in a different location and further away. Thanks to NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
FRASER -- There were four of us laying out in the back yard to watch the Leonid Meteor shower on November 16, 2001. It was the day before the peak, but there were a few around 10:10 PM as we watched. Person #1 is male, 16, and in the 10th grade in high school. Person #2 is female, 16, and in 11th grade in high school. Person #3 is male, 16 and in 11th grade in high school. Person #4 is female, 14, and home schooled. Person #1 and #4 are brother and sister.
The sky was crystal clear. Person #1 fell asleep. At 10:10 PM persons 2, 3, and 4 all saw five red jagged triangular shaped crafts, flying in a perfect V shape across the sky. They stayed in perfect formation, and flew fast from east to west. They didn't make a sound, and seemed to be flying at about 150 feet above us. We were all frozen, staring at them with disbelief until after they passed. Then, petrified, we all ran inside as fast as we could and told person # 1 and 4's mother about what we saw. We then looked up "UFO sightings in Colorado." Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
SACRAMENTO -- The witness says he is reporting this event for my wife - who on November 4, 2001, sometime between 12:00 and 1:30 in the afternoon, claims she saw a UFO at the intersection of Florin Road and Franklin Boulevard. Before making a left hand turn on Franklin Blvd, at a red light, she noted that many witnesses were on the sidewalk pointing their fingers in the sky yelling, "UFO, UFO!" My wife then looked up into the sky, while heading west on Florin Road and looked up towards the western sky and claims to have witnessed two silver shaped dishes. The dishes hovered for about 2 or 3 minutes before disappearing before her eyes. After the saucers disappeared, her light turned green, and she proceeded to make her left hand turn. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
VENTURA/SANTA BARBARA COUNTIES -- Don Robertson reports he just received an email from David Anderson saying he and the family had seen the Camarillo/Holiday UFO last night, and so did I. It appeared in a clear patch of sky surrounded by clouds, at my location near Saticoy, CA. at 4:55 PM. It was visible for ten minutes, and then disappeared. I saw two downward jumps with the naked eye, and then it disappeared rather slowly...blurring out. There did seem to be a blurry light before it went, altogether. I've observed this effect before.
On November 19, 2001, I saw the object for the first time this year. It appeared, and disappeared, just before 5:00 PM. David Anderson said he'd seen it on October 31, 2001. I think this is the sixth year in a row that this object has been observed. For those of you unfamiliar with the object's history, David discovered the UFO on Thanksgiving, six years ago. Still photographs and video tape have been shot of it over the years, and many of us from the Ventura/Santa Barbara Counties MUFON, have been watching for it ever since. Thanks to Don Robertson GBR262
David, Same thing happened to me last night. I went out and looked to the NW, didn't see it and then turned to check the Moon, and found the object gleaming almost overhead. It was the same on Thanksgiving. Here are the appearances so far this year, as far as I know: October 31, 2001, in Camarillo. November 19, in Ventura...appeared and disappeared. November 22, over Ventura/Saticoy...10 minute sighting November 23, NW, high Somis, 5 minute sighting at Saticoy Country Club November 25, over Camarillo and Ventura...4:54 to 4:58 PM very bright. I shot some pictures through a 250 mm lens, but am unsure what the results will be. I'm going to try to video tape it, too. Can you all go out and check to your southwest very high up, about 4:50 PM. Please check when the sky is clear. We still need people in Bakersfield to check, also, to their southwest. Understand that this is the only time a star is out at this time of the evening, but it is very bright...almost as bright as Venus. If you see a star at this time, it is the object. I trust most of you know the difference between a star and a plane. The object will not move, neither will a star! Watch for at least ten minutes, and you will see the object disappear. Stars do not disappear. If possible view the object through binoculars and you'll really see it!! Keep checking, and write down what time the object appears and disappears. Thanks to Don firstname.lastname@example.com (Edoardo Russo) cisuflash-owner@yahoogroups.
Editor's Note: In November, Mars is low in the SSW at dusk and sets in the WSW at about 10 PM. Its possible veiwing conditions may be playing tricks, UFOs generally move after hovering for a while.
HALIFAX, NS -- As I gazed at the night sky on November 15, 2001, I saw something, and I didn't know what it was, at first. It was glowing red and traveling very fast at 11:00 PM, and I realized this was no comet or shooting star. It stopped very suddenly and let down two more fireballs. I was thinking, that's weird. It stopped for only four more minutes, but that was long enough for me to get what was happening. It was emitting long beams of light in a pattern 1, 2. Then stop 3, 4. Then stop. I hurried inside to get my binoculars but by the time I came out it had started moving again. The other two Fireballs' went in opposite directions. One flew east and one south. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
SAN LUIS TLATILCO -- Sixteen metallic-white objects were sighted at 9:32 AM on November 21, 2001 as they flew over in the municipality of Naucalpan in the state of Mexico . Fourteen of these objects remained close together while the remaining two stayed apart. The sighting lasted 15 minutes enabling Mrs. Guillermina Vargas and her son to see the objects through binoculars, record them on video, and even count them one by one from their own home. Antena Vórtice has in its possession a three minute video of these objects. In an interview, Mrs. Vargas stated: "the objects moved slowly toward the center of Mexico City. What saddens me the most is having not been aware of the moment in which they disappeared." Thanks to Joe Trainor and Scott Corrales
AREZZO -- The Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU) reports that the analyses of the "Angel Hair" is continuing concerning the falling of whitish filaments on October 11, 2001, in the province of Arezzo. The phenomenon involved additional residents from the area, and over a time period of at least an hour, from 2 to 3:00 PM, and included ten witnesses. The filaments were also very long (up to 5-6 meters), and fell copiously and continuously, eventually becoming entangled in trees, on gates, and on the ground. Microscopic examination of the filaments, a colorimetric exam of their structure, and a fusion test revealed a structure that was varied, yet prevalently polysaccharide and irregular, leading to speculation that the filaments were of a natural and not artificial origin.
"UFO Baby", a New Comic Strip on newsstands beginning 26 October is the first installment of a new monthly comic strip entitled "UFO Baby" (published by Play Press of Rome, 192 pages, 7000 lire). It concerns a feature originally published between 1998 and 1999 in Japan (where last year, a televised version of it was also aired). Two teenagers observe a UFO and subsequently discover a newborn extraterrestrial, together with its babysitter and a stroller shaped like an Adamski-esque flying disc, which landed on Earth due to a space-temporal distortion.

Several people wrote that during the Congressional Iran Contra Hearings, Lt. Col. Oliver North warned that the terrorist Osama Bin Laden had threatened him and his family and in his opinion, "He is the most evil person alive that I know of." Hal Putoff writes, that Oliver North fingered the terrorist Abu Nidal, rather than Osama Bin Laden. Others reviewed the transcripts and claimed there was no specific terrorist name mentioned. Thanks to Hal Putoff
Robert Collins received the following message from Major Darren, "Your web site is most impressive, especially the items about MJ-12. Having been involved with that subject area for many years, I can say most of what you state is fact. Although I don't know about the Aviary ( the so called list of intelligence operatives given names or birds). I do know MJ-12 was an active group of quasi-government personnel involved in the safeguarding of UFO and ET secrets. Were you involved in this program? I am retired Air Force Major (0-4) and worked with the Office of Special Investigation and AF intelligence for most of my 24 year career. Regarding James Jesus Angleton, he was never a member of MJ-12. He might have been privy to some information from MJ-12 but never a member. Angleton, in 1970, wrote a counterintelligence assessment of the UFO phenomena. In this document, Angleton mentioned the Roswell incident, also an incident in the New Mexican Desert in 1964 and an exchange program between EBEs and us in 1965 and 1969. This document was entitled, " Assessment Number 7." I know Rick Doty read this along with some other former government employees. The document was classified Top Secret, codeword, with limited distribution. I saw the document while assigned to Air Force Intel in the late 70s. Too bad we couldn't get our hands on this document. I'm sure it is tucked away in some obscure vault with CIA headquarters. Thanks to Darren and Robert Collins See http://home.earthlink.net/~rcollins633/reports/mj12_directive_memo.htm

German lawmakers back circumcision bill - Lauder: 'Renaissance of Jewish life in Germany can continue'
Wed, 12 Dec 2012
The World Jewish Congress (WJC) has welcomed a vote by German lawmakers who overwhelmingly backed a bill which aims to provide legal safety for the circumcision of underage boys. 434 members of the 580 members of the Bundestag who voted were in favor of the government bill, 100 against it and 46 abstained. WJC President Ronald S. Lauder said in reaction to the vote in the Bundestag: "Today, representatives of all major parties have made it clear that the renaissance of Jewish life in Germany can and should continue. The bitter debate that followed the Cologne court ruling on circumcision has irritated and unsettled many Jews around the world, and we hope that a clear legal basis has now been put in place that will prevent the criminalization of religious circumcision in the future."
The new law grants parents the right to have their sons circumcised by a trained practitioner. Once the boy reaches six months of age, the procedure needs to be performed by a doctor. Some critics of circumcision in Germany have argued that the right of the child to bodily integrity trumped a parents' right to make decisions on their son's behalf.
A minority of left-wing lawmakers in Parliament proposed that parents should have to wait until the boy is 14 so he can give informed consent, noting the procedure is irreversible. Such a delay would have contravened Jewish religious law, which requires that boys are circumcised on the eighth day after birth in a ceremony seen as their entrance into a covenant with God. Muslims also usually perform the procedure early in a boy's life.
Lauder went on to say: "Jews could really have done without this acrimonious debate, and it was even more saddening that it erupted in Germany, of all countries. The efforts to ban, outlaw, define, limit or otherwise curtail circumcision were an affront to freedom and morality, even though they were sometimes motivated by good intentions. Although people are being slaughtered in many parts of the world and massacres are occurring in Syria on a daily basis, the commentarial and activist classes in Germany preferred to occupy themselves with denying Jews - and Muslims - their religious rights."
Dieter Graumann, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany said: "The circumcision law finally restores legal certaint. What is important for us is the political message of this law, which is that Jewish and Muslim life is still welcome here."
Ronald S. Lauder thanked the German government and the leaders of all major political forces for not giving in to the populist temptation to lend their backing to a ban of circumcision. "It seems that Germany's leaders have realized what it would have meant to allow the courts to criminalize one of Judaism's most ancient and sacred commandments," he added. Lauder expressed hope that the circumcision debate, which had pulled up a lot of anti-Semitic resentment in German society, would now be over. "It is now time to move on and try to heal the wounds. And it is important to ensure that the rights of Jews and other minorities are safeguarded everywhere in Europe," the WJC president emphasized.
In a statement, WJC Vice President Charlotte Knobloch thanked German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her government for acting swiftly and with a high degree of sensibility on this matter. Knobloch also thanked the lawmakers of the Bundestag for their "responsible, conscientious vote."
Positive reactions from other religious leaders
Churches and Muslims also reacted with relief to the vote. Catholic Bishop Heinrich Mussinghoff, chairman of the committee for relations with Judaism at the Catholic Bishop's Conference of Germany, said: "The bill now adopted reiterates the right of parents to agree to a circumcision of their male child if the operation is done according to the standards of the medical profession." The sometimes "very emotional and polemical debate" about religious circumcision had caused "grave irritations" among the Jewish and Muslim communities. "I hope that after this decision the unhindered religious freedom will be safeguarded and respected by all," he added.
The chairman of the Central Council of Muslims in Germany, Ayman Mazyek, was equally satisfied. "The nightmare we went through after the Cologne ruling is finally over," Mazyek told KNA. The legislator had given "a clear and unequivocal vote" in favour of legal security and peace. Mazyek said he wouldn't mind if hat the debate about circumcision continued, "but not on the basis of an instrumentalization of our criminal law."

text: Tony Tata Political Round-Up By Laura Lee & Frank Stasio • Aug 7, 2015 kenrudinpolitics.com Seventeen GOP presidential contenders took the stage last night in a two-tiered appearance on Fox. Did the event help or hurt poll leaders Donald Trump and Jeb Bush? Plus, the debate over Planned Parenthood funding continues on the Hill. And Jon Stewart ends his 16-year run on The Daily Show. Wake County Beefs Up Bus Routes By Dave DeWitt • Aug 26, 2013 Dave DeWitt Most traditional-calendar public schools open their doors to students starting this morning. In Wake County, all will be on its extensive transportation system. Last year was, by most anyone's standards, a disaster for the bus system in Wake County. Hundreds of students were late for school, stranded at the wrong bus stop, or simply not picked up. It came about because buses were removed from routes to save money when implementing a choice-based student assignment plan. State Leaders Propose Transportation Funding Changes By Gurnal Scott • Apr 18, 2013 Gurnal Scott Listen Listening... / 0:58 WUNC's Gurnal Scott reports on a proposed change in project funding for the N.C. Department of Transportation. Governor Pat McCrory wants a new method of funding transportation projects in order to spur economic growth. He says the way the state has approached transportation projects has not favored areas that need an economic boost."We have struggled to keep pace with the needs of our growing areas and to bring jobs to our most economic-challenges areas of this state. So right now it's time to think differently," McCrory says. Wake Superintendent Search Enters New Phase By Dave DeWitt • Mar 25, 2013 Dave DeWitt The search for a superintendent for the Wake County Schools enters an important phase today, as public meetings begin. The meetings serve as an opportunity for anyone and everyone to express what qualities they'd like to see in the next superintendent. The meetings will last three days and include stops in Cary and Raleigh. Tata To Deliver State Of Wake Schools By Dave DeWitt • Aug 23, 2012 It's a busy time for parents and students as many prepare to go back to school. It's also an important time for decision-makers in the state's largest school district.Dave DeWitt: Wake County Schools have gotten plenty of attention the past few years, most of it unwanted. As the School Board has bickered over school assignment, calendar issues, and other topics, students have continued to perform above the state average. That has occurred despite the fact that Wake spends less per-pupil than the state average. Tata Easing Tensions - For Now By Dave DeWitt • Mar 8, 2011 Tony Tata has been the Superintendent of Wake County Schools for 37 days. In that time, he has visited nearly 40 schools and met with countless groups. The past week was particularly busy for Tata. He met with some of the people who have been the most highly critical of the School Board majority that hired him - including NAACP President William Barber. Tata's latest event took place at Martin Street Baptist Church, in front of an audience predisposed to dislike him. Tata Takes Over By Dave DeWitt • Jan 31, 2011 Wake County's new school superintendent takes office officially today. Tony Tata takes the reins of a school system facing major challenges. Tata's background is already well-known to those who pay attention to the Wake Schools. He's a retired brigadier general with less than two years experience in education, hired by a deeply divided school board. He made positive impressions even on his detractors during a series of formal and informal events earlier this month. And even with a looming budget crisis, Tata will likely be judged on the issue of student assignment. Tata Ready To Take Over By Dave DeWitt • Jan 8, 2011 Wash. DC Schools Tony Tata is spending more time in the Triangle today. The retired brigadier general is the new superintendent in Wake County. Wake School Board Gets Its Man By Dave DeWitt • Dec 24, 2010 Wake County has a new School Superintendent. Anthony Tata was confirmed Thursdaynight in a 4-to-2 vote by the Wake County School Board. Tata is not your every day public school administrator. He's a West Point graduate and former brigadier general who writes Tom-Clancy style thrillers. Most recently, he was Chief Operating Officer at the Washington DC schools, in charge of purchasing and operations. The year and a half he spent in that job is his only experience in education. Wake May Get New Superintendent By Dave DeWitt • Dec 23, 2010 DC Schools The Wake County School Board is apparently on the verge of hiring a new superintendent. Donna Haargens has served in the position as an interim since the spring.

3D PDF (*.pdf, *.prc, *.u3d)Let's overview the 3 different extensions!
U3Dis a compressed file format standard for 3D computer graphics data. This format is natively supported by the PDF format and 3D objects in U3D format can be inserted into PDF documents. Source: wikipedia
PRCPRC (Product Representation Compact) is a 3D data structure and file format used in 3D PDF documents. Along side U3D, PRC is now the preferred and most feature-rich method to embed 3D interactive data and models into a PDF file. It includes structure, geometry and product manufacturing information ( PMI ) metadata.
PRC Benefits over U3DAlthough both U3D and PRC are available as 3D systems in a PDF, PRC is generally preferable due to:
- More geometric shape definitions, including NURBS
- Much better triangle mesh compression
- Annotations, PMI, Markup
- Scales to Complex Assemblies

SOURCE: Restoration Industry Association
January 23, 2013 15:47 ET
ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - Jan 23, 2013) - The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) announces that it has filed suit in Federal Court in the Western District of Washington State against Thermapure. The purpose of this suit is to invalidate six of the seven patents held by Thermapure. These patents, and in particular the "812," have been used by Thermapure to sue RIA members and other restoration industry companies through a process commonly known as "patent trolling." RIA firmly believes that these suits are without merit, as the family of patents involved assert claims that have been industry standards for years.
RIA's Board of Directors created the Restoration Industry Legal Fund in 2012 to address a number of issues that impact RIA members and the entire industry. The RIA Legal Fund Committee was established and made recommendations to the full RIA Board regarding this matter. The Board approved their action to engage counsel and work to invalidate these patents.
"RIA interviewed law firms from across the country and selected a firm in Washington State that has had success in defending two clients against Thermapure. They have developed an aggressive strategy to stop the hostile patent trolling that has had such a detrimental effect on RIA members and the entire restoration industry," said RIA Executive Director, Timothy Shaw.
"RIA views these patent lawsuits against its members and other industry companies as an affront to the entire industry and the countless professionals who have spent decades building it," said RIA President, Samuel Bergman, CR. "We are confident that RIA members and the industry will join together to protect their mutual interests and contribute to the fund to assist us in invalidating all of these meritless and ridiculous patents."
RIA is soliciting money from both members and nonmembers to fund this effort. The association has already joined resources with the Joint Defense Fund formed in 2012 by approximately 50 RIA members. Both organizations believe that joining efforts will reduce administration costs and result in more progress by working collaboratively rather than individually.
RIA Board Member Jonathan Miko is spearheading the Restoration Industry Legal Fund effort for RIA. "RIA has been the industry's leading and largest trade association since 1946, and one of the responsibilities of a trade association is to protect the interests of its members," said Miko. "This will not be a legal defense fund, but will be used to research any issue that negatively impacts RIA members and the restoration industry at large. In this case, we are addressing suspect patents that are being used against our members and others in the industry, and working to invalidate them. We will also be making all prior art and case history available to RIA members for their use, should the need arise."
For more information or to contribute to the fund, contact the Restoration Industry Association in Rockville, Maryland, (800) 272-7012 or visit www.restorationindustry.org.
The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) is the oldest and largest trade association representing the restoration and reconstruction industry with member firms worldwide. RIA serves and represents the interests of its members by promoting the highest ethical standards; providing education, professional qualification and certification opportunities; positively influencing regulations and governmental actions; and advancing the safety, image, efficiency, and competitiveness of industry members.

While most people have become accustomed to online banking and the benefits it can offer, there are additional – lesser known – features on the platform that can help make financial transactions easier.
MidWestOne's online banking and online bill pay platforms give you immediate access to your financial information and allow you to monitor accounts, pay bills, review secure monthly statements, manage finances and stay up-to-date with e-alerts or text messages. In addition, within the system's online bill pay section there are two features that you may not yet be familiar with: the ability to transfer funds to other financial institutions and Popmoney®.
Transfer funds to other financial institutions
The transfer funds section gives you the ability to transfer money between a MidWestOne deposit account and additional accounts you might have with other financial institutions. To set this up, you'll be taken through a process that is similar to PayPal, where you'll be asked to verify that you own the accounts through the use of what's called "micro transactions."
Once your account has been confirmed you can transfer money between both accounts through the MidWestOne online banking interface. There is no fee for transferring money from other accounts to your MidWestOne accounts. However, there is a small fee of $2 for transferring money from your MidWestOne account to other institutions. Keep in mind that this fee is less expensive than what you would be paying for a money transfer.
The Popmoney personal payment system lets you send money to friends, family or almost anyone from your checking account to theirs. All you need is their name and email address or mobile phone number. This makes paying your friends and family as easy as emailing and texting and eliminates the hassles of checks and cash.
To set up a payment you can enter information in one of three ways:
- Using the recipient name and email address
- Using the recipient name and cell phone number
- Or using the recipient's banking routing number and account number
When you've entered the recipient's information, the system will generate a text message or email that will contain instructions about how to access the funds. You can even include custom messages to ensure your family or friends will understand it's a legitimate transaction.
The Popmoney transaction is encrypted using industry leading software, hardware and algorithms. Security is also utilized at specific points and actions in the product. For example, to help prevent an unauthorized person from fraudulently depositing someone else's payment, one-time passcodes are used. For every initial payment to a new email address or mobile phone number, a one-time passcode is sent to the user. The user must provide the passcode back to Popmoney to verify his/her "ownership" of that mobile number or email address before he can deposit the payment.
The cost for a Popmoney transaction is $0.50. This is the cost of a stamp and gives you the peace of mind knowing that you can securely transfer money without having to send a letter or carry around lots of cash. The transaction can be conducted quickly and you can track the successful completion.
With these two online banking services in your arsenal, managing your finances will become significantly easier.

The Honourable Attorney-General and Minister for Communications,
Honourable Ministers,
Representatives of the television and broadcast communications industries,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Bula vinaka and a very good afternoon to you all,
Today I am proud to announce the latest breakthrough in broadcast communications in Fiji – the start of a large-scale public trial of digital television.
The vehicle is the Walesi platform – named after the original i'Taukei word for wireless. In fact when wireless radio first started broadcasting and because it was such an innovation, the producer for Radio Fiji One, which was the I'Taukei language station, was known as Ratu Walesi. Although today, of course, is about the implementation of a state of the art television service, another milestone for Fiji.
While other countries in the region may have digital TV, it has been set up by private companies. We are the first Pacific Island Government to invest in the infrastructure for digital television at a national level. Not only have we invested in the infrastructure through our State-owned company, Walesi Limited, but we have also invested in the latest compression technology, which I am told has the potential to return a better picture quality than what is seen in Australia. And this enhanced picture quality will be available to all Fijians.
On Monday the trial in the Suva-Nasinu corridor will commence, before the full service is officially launched for the rest of the country later in the year.
This is a trial period before we take the service national. So while those living in the Suva-Nasinu corridor will be able access the service from Monday, I ask those living in the rest of the country to be patient and we will soon bring digital television to you as well.
To access the digital television platform, you will need a set top box, which will be available from retailers for a maximum price of $99.95.
To ensure that all Fijians will have access to digital television, the Fijian Government has allocated two million dollars to provide low income households with a set top box for free. We are working with the Water Authority of Fiji, Fiji Electricity Authority and the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation to finalise this initiative, and the details will be revealed in the coming days.
Along with the better picture you receive – sharp, clear, digital quality – and also better sound, the other main benefit of digital TV will be more choice of channels. Two each for FBC and Fiji TV, along with the existing single channel for MaiTV, in better quality than the current analogue service.
And the reason why we are here today, is that we've decided – in the interests of transparency – to allocate the numbers of these channels for the trial service in full public view. So my next task is to pull the names out of the barrel to match the numbers. Two balls for FBC, two balls for Fiji TV and one ball for Mai TV.
So let's do it. (The Prime Minister draws the lottery on the allocation of channel for each TV station – to view this, click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wK4jpt9DSM)
Ladies and Gentlemen, so there we have it – the new channel numbers for the trial period of the Walesi Digital Service ahead of the full rollout across Fiji at the end of the year.
If you're in the Suva-Nasinu corridor, it's just in time for the Olympics. But for those of you who can't access the service, don't worry, it isn't going to make any difference to the medal count. And whether you're watching in digital or analogue, it's still going to be the most exciting Olympics ever for Fiji. And the sweetest of victories if we win gold.
Happy viewing. Vinaka vakalevu. Thank you.

4 years is the equivalent of an entire generation when it comes to electronics and mobile phones and the Internet. What exists today in our popular culture may either have not existed or may have just been getting started up 4 years earlier. Which is why, as we celebrate and enjoy the beginning of the 2012 London Olympic Games, it's worth taking a look back at where technology and the Internet was in previous Olympics.
Back in Atlanta in 1996, the Internet and mobile phones were just getting started. Back then, options were seriously limited. There was no Twitter or Facebook, and smartphones didn't exist. As we progressed through Sydney, Athens and Beijing, mobile phones got better, text messaging and social media got off the ground and with the introduction of the iPhone, smartphone apps. Now with the 2012 Olympics, we're tweeting every moment, Facebooking every triumph and texting our friends when our country wins a gold medal.
Our infographic today breaks down the stats for you on this very subject. Let us know in the comments how you will be making use of technology and social media in the 2012 Olympics.

Amazing changes.
Use of Social Networks on smartphones and tablets is basically to keep track of our athletes, their performances and, of course, the winners in each competition. Just celebrate every win and, if known at once, the better.
The awesomeness of technology...

Green Party leader Caroline Lucas appears in an inner-city street in the spot, promoting the party's campaign ahead of local elections on 3 May.
The two-minute 40-second film, "growing a Green future", also features 'living graffiti' based on plants, by artist Anna Garforth.
Specialist agency Madwomen provided strategy and creative for the party broadcast, which aims to attract female voters without alienating men. The Green Party previously worked with Glue Isobar.
Madwomen was set up by Gail Parminter and Kate Freaerson, who have worked at agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy & Mather and are involved in gender research at the University of Bristol.
The agency offers creative services and consultancy, and runs a course on advertising to women at the IPA.
Kate Frearson, the planning director at Madwomen, said: "With a female leader and MP, Natalie Bennet and Caroline Lucas respectively, and policies that aim to create a more caring society, the Greens really do offer an alternative to the masculinised, dog-eat-dog style of politics that we're all used to.
"There's lots of great advertising aimed at men that uses humour, but unfortunately we don't see the same quality aimed at women. We see too many dated advertising stereotypes that portray women only as mothers, wives or lovers.
"Ads from Asda, Morrisons and Fiat 500 present the women in roles like the drudge housewife, and while female consumers appreciate that being acknowledged, they like to be understood as having more to their lives than that."
"We're not saying there needs to be a seismic change in adland, just that there is an opportunity to improve and to get more bang for your advertising buck from the client's point of view."
The spot will air on BBC and ITV on 24 April. It was written by Gail Parminter and art directed by Chris Sainsbury. The film was shot by Marc Silver, produced by Danielle Ward and edited by James Smith–Rewse through Annex Films.
Gail Parminter, the creative director of Madwomen, said: "It's a great piece of work to show what we can do because it's not for a typical feminine hygiene brand or a women's FMCG brand."

A day after accusing the Lakers' Andrew Bynum of repeatedly playing illegal defense, George Karl was again handing out verbal citations.
This time, the Denver Nuggets coach targeted his own big men.
Forwards Kenneth Faried and Al Harrington and centers Kosta Koufos and JaVale McGee made a combined six of 27 shots in the paint during the Lakers' 103-88 victory Sunday at Staples Center in Game 1 of their opening playoff series.
Bynum had a lot to do with that, blocking 10 shots and altering many others. Karl said afterward that "nice illegal defense" by the Lakers center contributed to his franchise playoff record for blocks.
"He got only one illegal defense," Karl said, referring to the technical foul called in the third quarter for a defensive three-second violation. "I saw about 30 of them."

Removing Sweat Stains & Odors
HomeLifestyleCleaningClothing Maintenance and Stain Removal Removing Sweat Stains
Does anyone be aware of a homemade way to get sweat stains and odor out from clothes? I've got tried conventional washing plus the odor and stains persist. Any ideas?
Angela C
I've always used white wine vinegar to get smells from laundered clothing. I prefer in regards to a cup, just put into the wash load, when using the soap; since I opt for the stuff for around some money a gallon, I finished measuring long ago. I cannot recall a period when what is the best and cheapest carpet cleaner didn't help this.
Kit L.
Create a paste of baking soda and water. Sign up for the stains and let sit for about 20 minutes. Wash as usual. If your stain is still there buy regular "chalk" (links in a great many colors) and affect stain before wearing. The chalk will not harm the material.

The Dark Knight may Piggy Back Arkham Asylum Disc
The past few weeks there has been increased promotion of Batman: Arkham Asylum such as the ads in Home. So it was a shock to see that it was delayed without much reason.
One reason for the delay might be that the blockbuster movie The Dark Knight might be bundled on the [shal]Blu-Ray[/shal] disc along with Arkham Asylum. While it still is only speculation, there is some proof that features like this are being planned for PS3 games.
John Koller, Director of Hardware Marketing for SCEA said recently:
"We are actively pushing, and the way that we see the future is that the movie and the game are placed on the same disc,"
"There are a lot of developers who say, we have this game based on a movie, wouldn't it be great to marry these concepts? We will definitely see this stuff this year"
This would be an excellent way to promote the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player to all of the folks that don't realize that it plays the High Definition movie format (can you believe some still don't know?), as well as a great way to increase the perceived value of the purchase. E3 is right around the corner, and we have scheduled some hands on time with Arkham Asylum along with a chat with the developers, so we will be sure to question this juicy piece of info.

Rupert Murdoch Tweets His Support for Prince Harry
The media mogul urges everyone to give the royal "a break" after his News International publishing division's The Sun tabloid prints the pictures of the naked prince.
LONDON -- Rupert Murdoch took to Twitter to express his sympathy for Prince Harry in the wake of the naked pictures controversy, urging all to give the royal "a break."
The media mogul tweeted: "Prince Harry. Give him a break. He may be on the public payroll one way or another, but the public loves him, even to enjoy Las Vegas."
It comes after Friday's edition of The Sun tabloid newspaper, owned by Murdoch's News International U.K. publishing division, printed the grainy cell phone snaps of the 27-year-old prince larking about with an unnamed woman in his hotel suite in Vegas.
More than 850 complaints have been made to the press watchdog the Press Complaints Commission about The Sun's decision to break ranks with the British media and be the only one to publish the pictures. Nearly all the complaints are about invasion of privacy and are scheduled to be investigated in due course.
The Independent reported that Murdoch himself was involved personally in the decision to print the pictures, which The Sun's managing editor David Dinsmore told the media was a matter of principle concerning press freedom.
Others saw the decision as an act of mischevious defiance by Murdoch as the findings of the Leveson inquiry into press standards here in the wake of the phone hacking scandal engulfing News International are prepared.
Shine Group chairman Liz Murdoch said during the Edinburgh International Television Festival that she agreed with the decision by The Sun to publish the pictures
Arguing that a "public interest argument" can be made for the publication, she told delegates and the press at the Scottish shindig that it would be bad if newspapers couldn't participate in something that has drawn the public's interest.
TMZ, the celebrity gossip web site, which first published the pictures, said they were taken after Harry and his entourage met some women in a hotel bar and invited them up to the royal's suite.
The group is alleged to have played strip billiards while someone in the party is thought to have captured the images of the naked prince on a camera phone.

A cacophony of giggles and singing radiates from the room where two girls and their music teacher disconnect from the rest of the world for 30 minutes.
Moments such as these are an everyday occurrence at the Rockin' Music Zoo, a nonprofit that provides affordable music lessons to at-risk, disadvantaged children and teens.
"It's fun — I like it a lot," said Faith Miller-Hooks, 9, who came in smiling for her voice and keyboard lessons July 31, wearing her favorite pink sparkly shoes. "We learn new songs and play games at the end."
The organization was founded in 2013 by Bonnie Fitch, who has been a music educator for more than 30 years and is the owner of Bonnie's Music Shoppe, 4790 S. Fort Apache Road.
The program offers guitar, keyboard, drums, voice and steel drum lessons at $8 per class. Classes meet for 35 minutes once a week and usually include a group of five children.
"When the economy in Las Vegas really started taking a downturn, a lot of our students had to quit taking lessons because they could not afford it anymore," Fitch said. "Some friends of mine suggested that we start a nonprofit where we could receive donations to be able to offer these children music lessons."
Initially, Fitch and her son James, who is the president of the organization, spoke to middle schools in the area to get the word out about the program.
"Our strategy was putting out fliers in the school and in the general area," Fitch said. "We had a good reaction from the people that we were able to reach, but we had a difficult time actually reaching enough people. The middle school music directors were given permission to hand out the fliers. However, we could not get them into the elementary schools because elementary schools in the city are not allowed to hand out fliers."
From there, Fitch decided to reach out to the foster care system.
"We got in touch with the foster care system, and we have been working with them since last summer," she said. "It is a group of children that not every teacher is qualified to or feels comfortable working with."
Max Miller-Hooks is the father of Faith; George, 8; and Nataly, 6.
George and Nataly take keyboard lessons and were adopted through the foster care system by Miller-Hooks and his wife.
"The kids are home-schooled, so this allows them to explore their creativity and be more sociable," he said.
Fitch said that although most of the children who come to the Rockin' Music Zoo are initially shy, they usually open up a few lessons into the program.
"Music gives children so many advantages that children who don't get music will never have," she said. "It helps with cognitive learning; it helps the brain with math and science and also helps build teamwork skills."
The group also has a scholarship program, open to any student in grades kindergarten through 12 who has financial need and can attend lessons regularly. It covers either partial or full tuition and instrument rental for six weeks of group or private lessons. Anyone interested can apply online at rockinmusiczoo.org.
"We have had 10 students who have received scholarships in the past year and a half," Fitch said. "Unfortunately, most of them only took lessons for a short period of time. Parents often have difficultly with providing transportation."
The Rockin' Music Zoo has 35 students and six teachers. Fitch's goal is to increase the number of students to 60 by the end of the year.
Megan Schnizlein, 25, a music education student at UNLV, has been an instructor there for about a year. Schnizlein gives voice and keyboard lessons. She was referred by a classmate who asked her to take over her duties in the organization because she was moving to another state.
"It is so rewarding seeing the kids improve and fall in love with the music,"she said. "Music and the arts in general help kids become their own person and be confident in themselves."
The organization has had a few fundraising events that included a dinner in April sponsored by local businesses. A concert in the park is planned for the fall.
For Fitch, her work is all about making sure children have access to the wonder of music.
"We just want all kids to be able to afford some type of music lessons," she said.

An Evening At Four Winds Point
|Page 1 of 7
It was late September when Anne and Gilbert were able to pay Four Winds light their promised visit. They had often planned to go, but something always occurred to prevent them. Captain Jim had "dropped in" several times at the little house.
"I don't stand on ceremony, Mistress Blythe," he told Anne. "It's a real pleasure to me to come here, and I'm not going to deny myself jest because you haven't got down to see me. There oughtn't to be no bargaining like that among the race that knows Joseph. I'll come when I can, and you come when you can, and so long's we have our pleasant little chat it don't matter a mite what roof's over us."
Captain Jim took a great fancy to Gog and Magog, who were presiding over the destinies of the hearth in the little house with as much dignity and aplomb as they had done at Patty's Place.
"Aren't they the cutest little cusses?" he would say delightedly; and he bade them greeting and farewell as gravely and invariably as he did his host and hostess. Captain Jim was not going to offend household deities by any lack of reverence and ceremony.
"You've made this little house just about perfect," he told Anne. "It never was so nice before. Mistress Selwyn had your taste and she did wonders; but folks in those days didn't have the pretty little curtains and pictures and nicknacks you have. As for Elizabeth, she lived in the past. You've kinder brought the future into it, so to speak. I'd be real happy even if we couldn't talk at all, when I come here--jest to sit and look at you and your pictures and your flowers would be enough of a treat. It's beautiful--beautiful."
Captain Jim was a passionate worshipper of beauty. Every lovely thing heard or seen gave him a deep, subtle, inner joy that irradiated his life. He was quite keenly aware of his own lack of outward comeliness and lamented it.
"Folks say I'm good," he remarked whimsically upon one occasion, "but I sometimes wish the Lord had made me only half as good and put the rest of it into looks. But there, I reckon He knew what He was about, as a good Captain should. Some of us have to be homely, or the purty ones--like Mistress Blythe here--wouldn't show up so well."
One evening Anne and Gilbert finally walked down to the Four Winds light. The day had begun sombrely in gray cloud and mist, but it had ended in a pomp of scarlet and gold. Over the western hills beyond the harbor were amber deeps and crystalline shallows, with the fire of sunset below. The north was a mackerel sky of little, fiery golden clouds. The red light flamed on the white sails of a vessel gliding down the channel, bound to a southern port in a land of palms. Beyond her, it smote upon and incarnadined the shining, white, grassless faces of the sand dunes. To the right, it fell on the old house among the willows up the brook, and gave it for a fleeting space casements more splendid than those of an old cathedral. They glowed out of its quiet and grayness like the throbbing, blood-red thoughts of a vivid soul imprisoned in a dull husk of environment.

Please meditate on Dec 21st! PLEASE!
Recent evidence and research done in several metropolitan and major areas in the United States (Washington D.C. Seattle etc.) has shown that collective meditation (en masse) and intentional thinking can acftually decrease violence within these areas, most notalbly the experiments and collective meditaions carried out by transcendental mediation advoacte and partical/quantum physicist John Hagelin in Washington D.C. in 1993.
"A study I conducted in the summer of 1993 in Washington,
DC, shows rising crime levels over a period of six months,
which take place every year as the temperature gets hotter
between the winter and the summer. People stay out later,
they are more aggravated and agitated, they get into more
fights, and the crime rate goes up. This is an absolutely
known annual trend.From June through July of that summer,
we brought to the area a large number of practicing meditators
and trained quite a few others.When the group reached a
particular size—2,500 (ultimately reaching 4,000)—which
was about halfway through the period, there was a distinct
and highly statistically significant drop in crime compared to
expected rates based on previous data,weather conditions, and a
variety of other factors."
(More detail here). http://kenchawkin.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/shift-powerofthecollective1.pdf
This scientific evidence, repeated, and validated, shows the power and transformative abilities of human and collective consciouscious, unified field theory, and what can be achieved by focusing on the good in man. December 21st 2012 is a significant date becuase of the possible millions that will be gathering to focus their intentions and meditate on the collective transformation and the healing of the plant, the evolutionary leap, and creative transcendence. I encourage all of you to take part in this possible quantum transformation!

if we were all one….. that means we are all apart of the same *brain*. so if we were all the same *brain* and each person was a thought in that *brain* wouldn't it be easier to solve problems if you got to use your WHOLE brain???
The study is almost 20 years old.
And only measured 3 areas of the most extreme crime. It doesn't provide trends from previous years within the same areas or time frame. It doesn't give a reduction in the total crime for that or similar periods.
@dawveed, There are other large scale meditation projects currently underway worldwide: I participated in a large scale experiment here: http://theintentionexperiment.com/ The first target was the Wanni region of Sri Lanka..a month later their 25 year old civil war was over.
These guys are also running mass intention projects all the time!: http://www.thepeacealliance.org/
Let's uncover collective consciousness and reunite the Gaian mind.
I promise to do some serious meditation on the 21st. You have my word.
@dawveed, I have also heard of this study. :)
Regardless of the validity of these 'facts', I will take part in meditation on that day. Whether it be true or not it doesn't hurt to think positively right? That is all we can do; and what a better day than December 21, 2012? :)
I dont know what your stance is on the 2012 thing, but this is an interesting video of a supposed legitimate mayan man explaining what his beliefs are of what will happen. Regardless of whether this is true or false, however, if we all coordinate we can make what he proposes true through our collective intention.
Will do, my friend :)
There was an event like this on 11/11/11 a year ago :)
It's a really great idea!

For Democrats, and reportedly for the Obama White House, Mike Huckabee has always seemed a deadly combination: A hard-right, anti-gay, antichoice social conservative tempered, it seemed, by a humanity and humor lacking in other potential Republican presidential candidates. He's hard to pigeonhole as a nut job or an extremist because his personality lacks the prickly rigidity that so often defines the right—Southern Baptist minister that he is, Huckabee nevertheless plays Keith Richards bass riffs like a groupie.
During the last round of GOP presidential primaries, Huckabee was one of only a few contenders who didn't have a "scheduling conflict" preventing him from attending a PBS debate at the historically black Morgan State University. Meanwhile, his rivals had a field day criticizing the former Arkansas governor for such mortal Republican sins as raising taxes and being mildly tolerant of immigrant children. More recently, Huckabee has dismissed the birther argument and has defended Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign against wingers who insist she'll sic the hot-dog police on them (though the once obese Huckabee could hardly not defend FLOTUS, given that he's been preaching the same health advice for years).
His relative flexibility, folksy demeanor, and non-Martian "likeability" drove a media characterization that's shaped the Huckabee coverage: A small-c, Main Street conservative, Huck may be "too nice" to get the Establishment nod, but as second place on the ticket he could help win over the crucial religious right/Sarah Palin base. This media narrative has proven as durable as "Bush the cowboy" or "McCain the maverick"—at least it did until last week.
That's when Huckabee, to the surprise of most everyone, started squawking that President Obama grew up in Kenya, where he was influenced by his father's and grandfathers' anticolonial Mau-Mauism to despise the British Empire—and, by implication, all white power.
Only after being called out did the Fox News host say he "misspoke" on the growing up in Kenya part (he later claimed he apologized, though that, too, isn't true). Then he blamed the media for attacking him, and simply relocated the lie from Kenya to Indonesia. "Most of us," he told far-right radio talker Bryan Fischer, "grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas." (Of course, Obama was born and grew up primarily in Hawaii, spending only the years between ages 6 and 10 in Indonesia—where, by the way, there were Rotary Clubs and he was a Cub Scout. In fact, according to the Boy Scouts of America, "The BSA is the second-largest Scouting organization in the world. The largest is in Indonesia.")
