Perth, 18 DecThe sound wasn't great :( Well, it got better but at the start the kick drum and bass guitar were all mooshed together....almost as if they used Jay-Z's sound settings for U2 or something. Low-end was very muddy, especially in 'Magnificent' BUT it got better and turned out to be a great show as expected. Almost thinking about going again on Sunday. Loved the North Star song (not recorded yet), hope we can hear it somewhere soon! Sound engineers please fix the low-end for Sunday, ta!
18 December, 2010
FantasticOh my god, this was the fourth time I'd seen the boys play in Perth. U2 are like drinking fine wine... they just get better and better with age!!!! The concert was just wonderful!!!
18 December, 2010
Thanks GuysJust witnessed one of the great bands to play in Perth. Last saw these guys in 1984 when they first played at the Entertainment Centre. After waiting 26 years, I finally had the opportunity to witness their musical brilliance once again. Highlight of the show for me, being in the arms of my loving wife when the guys played 'One". Thanks guys for a brilliant concert and your continued support of Amnesty International.

Perth!It was incredible! My first U2 concert as I have been too young to go before. I was right up the front and I started crying when U2 came on stage! thanks for a great night boys <3
18 December, 2010
Loved ItBeautiful Day opened, sound wasnt quite right, but by the end the sound was perfect and the house was rocking. I have thrashed my U2 Greatest hits - can't listen to it anymore but i loved all the songs. The lads are great performers. Sunday Bloody Sunday was the best song for me. Bono's voice is sensational and the 60,000 strong crowd loved it, especially when Bono compared the band to cricketers - Warnie -> Adam Clayton (defintely), Larry - Gilchrist (WA loves Gilly so definitely), the Edge - Mr Cricket Hussey (definitely) and then himself.... Boony - WA loves anyone who can take the piss out of themselves and Bono did it perfectly. Thanks for one of the best concerts I have been to.

17 December, 2010
BADHope and pray to hear BAD. Missed out hearing it last time in Melbourne and I reckon it epitomises everything about U2. Can't wait to see the world's biggest garage band again!
16 December, 2010
Do what you have got to doPerth, This show is AWESOME. After seeing it in Brisbane just wanted to say that everyone that gets the chance to be there should live the moment! After seeing ZooTV and PopMart I have to say this show surpasses. The spaceship is coming..........
16 December, 2010
2 Days To Go !!!Two days to go until U2 launch the spaceship in Perth. Cannot wait. In will be awesome !!! Everyone enjoy. ..and yes lets sing 40 at the end !!
15 December, 2010
perthsooo glad the boys are here after an absense of 15 years, I have lived here 3 years, seen them tonnes in the UK, driven up and down the Vico road in Dalkey to see Bono and am now blessed that will walk over the road from work at SJOG hospital Subiaco and see the best band for me since 1982 (28 years)we have grown older together and I will cry again when they walk out on stage..... Love you guys
15 December, 2010
No idea, but...Hi digitaldavo - I went to the second U2 concert in Melbourne and these were the times: gates opened 5:30pm, Jay-Z started at 7pm, and U2 at 9pm and they played for about 2 hours. But I think some of the timing might depend on when the sun sets... enjoy :)
14 December, 2010
40I think we should all start singing "40" after U2's last song (the last song on Under A Blood Red Sky)
12 December, 2010
What are the start times for Perth?anyone know what time Jay-Z and U2 will come on stage in Perth ? Gates open at 4:30PM, would be nice to know what time the action starts. Am wondering how long I have to have dinner and get there.

10 Ways to the Perfect Pedicure
Shape Up
Clip nails so they're slightly less than a quarter-inch long, says N.Y.C. manicurist Pattie Yankee. Then take a file and round the sides just a bit (don't use one labeled "coarse" because it can cause tears). Be careful not to go any shorter or you'll be begging for an ingrown.
Perfect Formula Petite Crystal nail file, $10; QVC.
Just Chill
You don't need whirlpool jets to feel pampered: Simply soak feet in a relaxing bath made of one part milk and two parts water. The lactic acid in the dairy product exfoliates and softens cuticles. If your tired soles are really screaming, add a scoop of Epsom salt to reduce swelling.
Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt foot soak, $4; at Wal-Mart.
Be Pushy
After a soak, dry feet and rub a drop of moisturizing oil on each nail. Then gently nudge back skin along the perimeter using a metal cuticle pusher (wooden ones can splinter, says Yankee).
Solar Oil, $12; cnd.com for stores.
Rock On
Pick up a natural lava pumice stone to exfoliate heels and balls of feet. Then massage a body scrub over skin to even out any roughness. To tackle serious calluses, try smoothing them with a motorized file (like Ansr: Sole, $120; ansr.com) when feet are completely dry.
Heel to Toe Natural lava-rock pumice stone, $7; sallybeauty.com.
Butter Up Those Soles
Save regular lotions for dry arms and legs—most are not moisturizing enough for the tough skin on your feet, says N.Y.C. podiatrist Johanna S. Youner. Instead, slather on a thick cream with hydrating shea butter. If you've got parched, cracked heels, you'll need an ointment containing acids (like salicylic or lactic) to break down dead cells, says Dr. Youner, who likes those from Kerasal (at drugstores).
The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Butter, $18/6.7 oz.; at the Body Shop.
Go Bright
Wipe nails with cotton pads soaked in rubbing alcohol to ensure that your base adheres. Then slick on a ridge-filling version, like Nail Tek Foundation III ($11; ulta.com) and follow with the first coat of color. Don't worry about it looking exactly right—the second coat will even it out. Need help deciding on a shade? Opt for one of these unexpected hues (left) chosen by L.A. manicurist Jenna Hipp.
Left: Nubar Nail lacquer in Hot Orange, $8; bynubar.com.
Middle: RGB Nail lacquer in Dew, $16; rgbcosmetics.com for stores.
Right: Perfect Formula Perfect Color in Pollen, $14; QVC.
Mix Your Own Tone
Neutral manicures were a cool statement at many spring fashion shows. To give your toes this subtle effect, try a trick Pattie Yankee used backstage: Take a bottle of off-white nail polish and sprinkle in a pinch of loose mineral powder foundation (in the color you would wear on your face). Give the bottle a shake and voila! You've created your own skin-matching nude. It's hands-down genius.
Bare Minerals Original SPF 15 foundation in Golden Tan, $27; bareminerals.com.
Stay Inside the Lines
After painting each toe, clean up any polish that has spread onto the surrounding skin with an angled eye-makeup brush, says Yankee. Just dip it in remover and trace around the nail.
Revlon Double Ended Smokey Eye brush, $6; at drugstores.
Set Your Shade
Once you've polished each foot, put a quick-dry topcoat on every nail, like this Dashing Diva formula, which helps smooth mild nicks, says Yankee. In a hurry to get out the door? Hipp suggests grabbing your blow-dryer and aiming a soft stream of cool air over your toes.
Dashing Diva Top Seal, $14; dashingdiva.com.
Mask Mistakes
Who hasn't tiptoed around in a fresh paint job and accidentally smudged it? If the polish is still wet, just apply another layer of color onto the entire surface, followed by your topcoat. If you spot dents once nails are dry, stroke a sheer, sparkling shade over all 10 of them. Shimmer reflects light and distracts from imperfections, says Hipp. "It'll give the illusion of a brand-new pedi."
Priti NYC Polish in Iced Ginger Rose, $13; pritinyc.com.

Head Coach Marc Long
Marc Long
Head Coach
Marc Long is entering his 11th season as head coach for the University of Iowa swimming and diving team, and 10th leading both the men and women's squads. He served two seasons as the Iowa women's assistant coach (2003-04) before taking over the helm for the 2004-05 season. He also served as the Hawkeye men's assistant coach from 1998-2001.
During his tenure as head coach of both programs, 87 school records have fallen and 144 Hawkeyes have automatically or provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championships.
In 2013-14, Long guided the women's team to a 9-5 dual record with the nine victories being the second-highest total for the program in his tenure. The Hawkeyes went 4-3 in Big Ten duals, which led to a No. 20 ranking in the collegeswimming.com poll on Dec. 29. The team posted school records in four individual and four relays throughout the course of the season.
The UI men's squad was ranked as high as No. 21 in the CSCAA poll for three weeks and three school records went down in 2013-14. Long coached senior Dustin Rhoads to the NCAA Championships in the 100 and 200-yard backstroke events, marking the fourth-straight year the Hawkeyes have been represented at the championship.
Both the men's and women's squads posted eighth place finishes at the 2014 Big Ten Championships. The UI women finished with 199 points, while the men tallied 188 points. At season's end, 31 Hawkeyes were named Academic All-Big Ten honorees -- the 19 women's selections were a school record, while the men tied a record with 12 receiving the accolade.
In 2012-13, Long guided the Hawkeyes to a 32nd place finish at the NCAA Championships, marking the program's second-straight finish among the top-32 teams nationally. Six men's student-athletes competed at the championships, and Iowa earned honorable mention All-America honors in three events -- 200-medley relay, 400-medley relay and 100 backstroke.
Twenty-one school records went down during the course of the season and 20 Iowa student-athletes posted NCAA automatic or provisional times. The men's team finished seventh at the Big Ten Championships with 245 points, while the women's squad was 10th with 113 points.
The men's team finished the 2013 season ranked 20th in the Collegeswimming.com/CSCAA Coaches Poll after posting a 7-3 dual record; the women's squad received votes in the rankings during the season and finished the year with an 8-2 record. Academically, 25 Hawkeyes earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition.
During the 2011-12 season, Long led the UI men's team to a fifth place showing at the Big Ten Championships, the program's highest finish since 1996. Two Iowa relays -- the 200 and 400 free relays -- won Big Ten titles, marking the program's first relay crown in 17 years. Five Hawkeyes garnered first-team All-Big Ten recognition.
The women's team finished ninth at the 2012 Big Ten Championships with 201 points. Freshman Becky Stoughton became the first Hawkeye to be selected as the Big Ten Freshman of the Year after finishing in the top six in three individual events.
The Iowa men's team posted a 26th place finish at the NCAA Championships, its best showing since 1995, and three Hawkeye relays earned honorable mention All-America honors. Stoughton became the first UI female swimmer to advance to the NCAA Championships since 2005 and the first freshman since 2002. She earned honorable mention All-America honors after placing ninth in the 1,650 free.
The men's team finished the season with a 7-2 dual meet record, running its four-year mark to an impressive 31-5. The team climbed to a program-best 10th in the CSCAA dual meet rankings and finished the season ranked 14th. The Hawkeye women posted a 10-6 record, the most dual victories since the 1985-86 season.
Twenty-four Iowa student-athletes garnered Academic All-Big Ten honors during the 2011-12 season. Four women's swimmers were recognized with the Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award, and nine Hawkeyes earned Scholar All-America recognition by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). The women's team earned Scholar All-America team honors for the eighth straight year, finishing with the third-best grade point average in the nation.
Iowa set 18 school records during the 2011-12 season (11 men, seven women) and 18 Hawkeyes posted a NCAA qualifying time. In June 2012, 14 Hawkeyes represented the program at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha.
In 2010-11, the Hawkeye men set schools records in three individual events and all five relays, while the women's squad set a program record in one individual event and one relay. The men recorded a dual meet record of 7-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten to finish the year ranked 24th in the final TYR/CSCAA rankings. The Hawkeye men sent Paul Gordon, Jordan Huff, Duncan Partridge and Ryan Phelan to the NCAA Championships in the 200 free relay. The quartet earned All-America honors in 400 free relay at the NCAA Championships. The Hawkeyes posted NCAA "B" cuts in 11 individual events and five relays. The women's team was named to the CSCAA All-Academic team for the sixth-straight year, and 20 Hawkeyes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors.
In 2009-10, the Hawkeye men set school records in two individual events and three relays, while the women's squad set a program record in one individual event and established a new pool record. The Iowa men recorded their best dual record in program history with a 10-1 overall record and finished sixth at the Big Ten Championships, the highest finish in 14 years. The women were named to the CSCAA All-Academic team for the fifth-straight year, and 28 Hawkeyes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors.
In 2008-09, the Hawkeye women set school records in four individual events and three relays, while the men's squad set school bests in two individual events. The Hawkeyes posted NCAA "B" cuts in seven individual events and five relays. The Iowa men posted their best dual record since 1995 with a 7-1 mark, and went undefeated (4-0) at its own Field House pool. The women were named to the CSCAA All-Academic team for the fourth straight year, and 25 Hawkeyes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors.
The 2007-08 season saw four school records set at the 2008 Big Ten Championships, including two relays. Wil Whaley and Christine Kuczek eclipsed Iowa's records in the 200 backstroke and 100 freestyle, respectively. Long also coached the women's 200 and 400 free relay teams to school records, while Whaley also placed 19th at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials.
In 2006-07, two more school records were broken and nine student-athletes posted NCAA "B" cuts. Dragos Agache led the Hawkeyes by competing at the NCAA Championships in both the 100 and 200 breast -- two events in which he set new school records.
In his first season with the combined program (2005-06), four student-athletes qualified for the NCAA Championships and four school records were broken. Five-time All-American and U.S. Olympic diver Nancilea Underwood completed her Hawkeye career by leading the women's team to a 27th-place finish at the NCAA meet. Agache led the men's squad, competing in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA meet, setting the school 100-yard breaststroke record and posting Iowa's highest individual finishes at the Big Ten Championships.
In 2004-05, the women's team recorded their second-highest finish at the NCAA Championships (23rd) in school history. The Hawkeyes were led by Underwood and four-year NCAA qualifier and All-American Jennifer Skolaski at the meet. The Hawkeyes set five school and two Field House pool records, posting a 5-4 overall dual mark.
While great individual and team performances are crucial, Long also places a high priority on academic success. During Long's tenure, Iowa has crowned 17 academic All-Americans and 207 Academic All-Big Ten selections, and the team has earned academic All-America honors nine times.
Long served as the UI's aquatics director for his first six years as head coach, which allowed him to be a part of the core committee involved in designing the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center.
As an assistant coach, Long helped Iowa to its highest placing and point total in school history (20th, 41 points) at the 2003 NCAA Championships. The Hawkeyes also posted an 8-4 overall season record, which was the first winning season for the program since 1999-2000.
Before his assistant coaching stints, Long served as head coach of the Iowa City Eels Swim Club (ICE) and the COHO Swim Club (Deerfield, IL). During his tenure, Long helped produce numerous state champions, record holders, and NCAA and USS national qualifiers.
Long began his collegiate swimming career at the University of Northern Iowa (1986), winning the conference title and setting the 100 butterfly school record before joining the University of Iowa men's squad his sophomore season. As a Hawkeye swimmer (1987-89), Long was a multiple NCAA finalist, six-time All-American and three-time Big Ten champion, winning two conference titles in the 100 fly and one as part of the 400 free relay. Long was voted a team captain in 1989 and helped lead the Hawkeyes to a Big Ten runner-up finish, and their highest team placing (eighth) in modern day history at the NCAA Championships. Long swam on Iowa's Big Ten and NCAA record setting 200 freestyle relay that year. He was also a member of the 1987 U.S. National Champion 400-meter freestyle relay team from San Jose (Calif.) Aquatics, and participated in the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials. Long is a member of the American Swimming Coaches Association and the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.
A native of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Long earned his bachelor's degree in recreation education from Iowa in 1991. He and his wife, Beth, have two children, Ethan and Rhys, and a dog, PeeKay.

CPU Registers: an Overview
Register: a small amount of storage on the CPU; the fastest method for a CPU to access data
In the x86 instruction set, a CPU uses 8 general-purpose registers:
- EAX — a.k.a. the accumulator register, used for performing calculations as well as storing return values
- EDX — a.k.a. the data register, basically an extension of EAX
- ECX — a.k.a. the count register, used for looping, counts DOWNWARD not upward
- ESI — a.k.a. the source index, used for reading, holds the location of the input data stream
- EDI — a.k.a. the destination index, used for writing, points to the location where the result is stored
- EBP — a.k.a. the base pointer, used for managing function calls and stack operations, points to the bottom of the stack unless freed up from this function by the compiler, in which case it would be an extra general purpose register
- ESP — a.k.a. the stack pointer, used for managing function calls and stack operations, points to the very top of the stack
- EBX — an extra register, not designed for anything specificAnother register worth mentioning is:
- EIP — a.k.a. the instruction pointer, points to the current instruction that is being executed; as binary code is being executed by the CPU the EIP is updated to reflect the location where the execution is occurring

Fact Sheets on the European Union
The aim of the Fact Sheets is to provide an overview of European integration and of the European Parliament's contribution to that process.
The Fact Sheets were created in 1979 for Parliament's first direct elections. Since then, they have been regularly reviewed and revised. They are intended to provide non‑specialists with a straightforward and concise overview of the European Union's institutions and policies, and of the role that Parliament plays in their development. The content of these fact sheets covers six main areas:
How the European Union works,
- Citizens' Europe,
- The internal market,
- Economic and Monetary Union,
- Sectoral policies,
- The EU's external relations.
Since they are short and to‑the‑point, the Fact Sheets can also be of great use to a range of professionals, civil servants and students with an interest in European Union affairs.
Readers wishing to go into greater detail are referred to more specialist works of the European Parliament, including research documents published by the European Parliament's policy departments on the 'Studies' page.
This online version is reviewed and updated – as soon as the European Parliament adopts any important positions or policies – at regular intervals throughout the year.
It is available in 23 languages.

Interested in studying the many aspects of the criminal justice system? Our program, which is offered to both adult students and traditional undergraduate students, gives an overview of how police departments, court systems and corrections facilities deal with criminal behavior. For our adult learners, the program is offered in an online and evening format. Traditional undergraduate students attend daytime classes on our main campus.
The Criminal Justice program provides students with a comprehensive liberal arts education and overview of the six major fields of criminal justice: law enforcement, corrections, court procedures, criminal investigation, administration and management, and criminal justice research. Our curriculum is designed to create an awareness of the history of the criminal justice system through teaching theories of crime and criminal behavior; issues related to crime prevention and the rehabilitation of offenders; and concepts like the preservation and analysis of evidence.
Courses are offered at the main campus in Orangeburg; at the Columbia at Fort Jackson location, and online. Adult learners may take classes online or in the evening setting, and traditional undergraduate students take classes during the day at the main campus.
The Criminal Justice degree prepares students to enter a variety of careers including community supervision, law enforcement, court administration, social services, private security, rehabilitation, and counseling. It also provides students a foundation for graduate study in criminal justice, rehabilitation counseling, public administration, criminology and related areas.
Registration for the Criminal Justice major is open to students in both the Center for Professional and Continuing Studies as well as traditional undergraduate students. Daytime classes are for traditional undergraduate students, and evening and online classes are available for continuing studies students.

To hear locals tell it, black wealth in New Orleans is an oxymoron. Before Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005 and the levees broke, it was one of the poorest cities in the United States, a grim burden borne disproportionately by blacks. Five years later, little has changed except for the dispiriting fact that the city's small black elite and middle class, which were just starting to grow in the 1990s, were pushed back nearly to square one.
As it stands, the gap between black and white income is deep and wide. In 2008, 43 percent of black households in New Orleans made less than $22,458 a year, compared with 18 percent of white families, according to the August 2010 report, "The New Orleans Index at Five: Measuring Greater New Orleans' Progress Toward Prosperity." On the other end of the scale, only 15 percent of black households made more than $67,000, while 45 percent of white families did.
The numbers highlight the stubbornness of New Orleans' economic realities for blacks. Despite the vast contributions by African Americans to the city's unique music, food, celebrations and culture, they have historically been shut out of economic opportunity and upward mobility.
Like blacks in Atlanta, New Orleanians have amassed political power. But unlike their Georgian counterparts, New Orleans' blacks have not moved in great numbers into the middle and upper-class. In 2010, New Orleans' population is gradually ticking upward, including African Americans. But many blacks simply can't afford to return to the city in the wake of Katrina; those who have returned face a landscape with limited options.
"For middle-income people, it's still a challenge for survival," says Silas Lee, a sociologist, pollster and professor of public policy at Xavier University of Louisiana. "You have more stagnation than upward mobility. People either leave or get dispirited. There's a sense of morale being depleted. People don't have the confidence that dreams can be achieved."
Lee's consulting business makes him a third-generation New Orleans entrepreneur. His parents had the city's only black-owned haberdashery. During segregation, prosperous blacks were largely doctors, lawyers, teachers, ministers and small-business owners. Large industry and economic infrastructure stayed in the hands of whites.
That changed little over the years. Lee and others point out that behind New Orleans' mask of celebratory culture and even outrageousness, the city is adamantly conservative, socially and economically. Even now, people keep their distance and their place, he says.
Generations of general economic stagnation in New Orleans stem largely from an undiversified economy, experts like Hill and Lee say. Cotton ruled for a long time, then oil, then tourism. When blue-collar jobs began drying up about 30 years ago, so did economic opportunities for many African Americans. The docks, while active, are increasingly automated. The shipyards have shrunk. Blacks do find work in the tourism industry, but it pays much less than oil industry jobs, where they have far less of a foothold.
Blacks who have started their own businesses over the last 30 years benefited from winning government contracts directed at "DBEs," or disadvantaged business enterprises. But the process failed to create the wealth amongst local blacks or to attract African Americans from elsewhere like the opportunities created in Atlanta. The DBE system was also marred by charges of corruption and cronyism. The new mayor, Mitch Landrieu, announced an overhaul of the DBE process to make it more transparent and, blacks hope, more effective at including them.
Katrina dealt a blow to African Americans of all classes in the Crescent City. Despite the tens of millions of dollars in reconstruction money that flowed to the Gulf Coast, black businesses have seen little of it, Hill says. Laws regarding minimum wages and minority set-asides were suspended for a time, to expedite the process, leaving black-owned companies and construction tradespeople out in the cold.
In 2000 the city's 326,000 blacks made up 70 percent of the total population in New Orleans, with roughly 25 percent living in poverty. Post-Katrina, the black population dropped to 60.7 percent of the now smaller metro area's population, according to the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center. It is common knowledge that the difficulty finding work, lack of money to return home and dearth of inexpensive rental units have hindered potential returnees.
Even home-owning, insured middle-income African Americans have had a hard time. Katrina destroyed the home of James Williams, a managing partner at the law firm Gauthier, Houghtaling, & Williams. So he bought another one while waiting for insurance on his first to come through.
"Insurance companies were slow to pay, and the difference is, could you wait while you got paid?" Williams says. "I bought another house because my wife was pregnant. A lot of people couldn't do that."
Indeed, many African Americans lacked the resources to start over, unlike whites, and many were underinsured. People nearing retirement age didn't want to move back to New Orleans to begin from scratch.
The slow trickle of blacks back to New Orleans has had a pernicious spiraling effect: Pastors can't open churches if there are few congregants, and lawyers and doctors who had largely a black clientele are hard-pressed to keep their doors open.
For some African Americans, the disruptions created by Katrina revealed possibilities. Sheila and Ronnie Burns own a courier service and parking management company that had combined revenues of about $2 million to $3 million annually pre-Katrina. The flooding drove out many of their employees and damaged or destroyed clients' offices. But the Burns' national network of courier services helped them rebuild, and law firms, a vital part of their customer base, use their services again. Consequently, the Burns' overall revenue grew to $3 million to $4 million a year.
The Burns' son moved back to New Orleans to work in the family business, part of an influx of young people moving to the city post-Katrina. Telley Madina, 29, left with his family during the storm but saw opportunities afterward. Madina, who runs a political consulting firm, says Katrina leveled the playing field initially, especially for younger people. But he feels the city still lacks the conditions necessary to spur the growth of a black middle class. He says that Atlanta has dual-income households of $100,000, people who go on vacation, have savings and get dance lessons for their kids. By contrast, he says, "New Orleans will be a city of old people looking to retire or young people with nothing to lose. There is no middle class of African Americans."
Many professionals who have returned find themselves in situations like that of entrepreneur David St. Etienne. The main client of his tech business was the Orleans Parish school system. But the restructuring has reduced his revenues by two-thirds of what it was before Katrina.
"We had to start from scratch. Our clients are small businesses, private schools, no particular industry," St. Etienne said. "Katrina decimated the black middle class and business class. It was harder for us to start in beginning, and it's harder for us to start after Katrina. The pie has shrunk, and it's even tougher."

Hi guys!
I run the re-enactment group Eran ud Turan - focusing on Central Asia in the 6th - 8th Centuries, during a highly dynamic and colourful time that saw the fall of the Sasanian Persian dynasty and the rise of the Umayyad Arab dynasty, the collapse of Hephthalite Hunnic power, and the rise and fall of the Gokturks and Turgesh. We're actively looking for new members - so if trying out something different sounds interesting shoot me a PM or post below or get in touch via the Facebook / website and we'll sort something out.

In June of 2004 the Wellington Public Library celebrated 25 years of operation. The grand opening was held on June 13, 1979.
The first library, open nine hours a week and staffed by volunteers, was in a tiny apartment at the corner of Second and Cleveland. The original library board members were Gladys Russell, John Sumner, Bonnie Spicer, Louise Meiman, and Nancy Reed.
In February 1980, the library moved into a small room in the Leeper Center at 3800 Wilson Avenue, began receiving support from the town and the first Summer Reading Program was held. In 1983 there was a part-time paid library clerk and a volunteer library director, Nancy Reed. Eliza Schmidt was hired as part-time library director in 1985 and the library was open 20 hours a week.
It was not until 1992 that the library expanded from 485 square feet to 2,000 square feet. In 1993 Diane Montgomery was hired as library director, a position she held until 2003. Through grants and town funding the library was able to double in size from 2,000 square feet to 4500 square feet in 2003.
The library is now open 42.5 hours per week and has approximately 24,000 items available for use.

Google release a tool called Ngram Viewer several months ago to evaluate trends of words much in the same way Google Trends displays keyword searching trends.
This tool could be used to evaluate changes in the public lexicon, political views, or the ebb and flow of the public zeitgeist. Let's use it to track something more juvenile: Specifically the words asshole, dickhead, shithead, and douchebag. Click below to expand.
Assholes, Dickheads, Shitheads, Douchebags
Wow, assholes reign supreme. By far there are more assholes than dickheads, shitheads, and douchebags combined.
Dickheads, Shitheads, Douchebags
Removing the vast swathes of assholes, we see there are more dickheads now than ever before. Scumbags have soared exponentially above the rest with a boom starting in the 1970's. Douchebags relatively multiplied in the 1990's with several bumps in the 1910's and late 1930's because of medicinal douchebags rather than the popped collar kind. The number of shitheads leveled off in the 1990's compared to a meteoric rise of shitheads through the 1980's.
The number of douchebags surprises me. Given the perceived growth of stupidly groomed facial hair, people who watch DVDs of Entourage, and an overinflated sense of self worth higher than AIG douchebags would appear more often.

Physics 321 - Electronic Circuits and Electronics
Physics 321 is an undergraduate level course in the basic fundamentals of circuit theory and electronic circuits. The course is taught with two 75 min lectures and one three hour laboratory session per week. There are 14 laboratory experiments covering basic measurement techniques, experimental verification of AC/DC circuit theorems, transient circuits, characteristics of semiconductor devices, transistor amplifiers, feedback techniques, oscillators, digital logic, and digital circuits. This course is designed to provide a sound background in the basic principles of electronic circuits and instruments and would be very desirable for any student contemplating working in a research laboratory. This course provides a solid foundation for a subsequent more advanced electronic course such as Physics 623. The text recently used is: "Introduction to Modern Electronics", by J.C. Sprott, a UW physics department faculty member. This book is out of print but is available in offset form, for purchase, by the Wisconsin Book Store. A useful book whch covers circuit theory and applications in more detail is "Introductory Electronics", by R.E. Simpson

One year ago, a little gnome mage came to me over IM and asked, "Kae, do you still have that resto healing guide you had on the old guild forums? I have a few druids in my new guild who could use some tips."
I did still have that guide, in fact, but as it was from TBC, I knew it needed to be updated. I also knew that simply emailing it wouldn't do: no, I should post it up in a place that they can easily reach it that had decent formatting. In fact, why not post it in a place where ALL druids could potentially find it?
http://dreambound-druid.blogspot.com was created.
I spent a few days hacking my old vanilla and TBC guild guides apart and updating them before finally posting them to my new blog. I told myself, "Hey, blogging looks like fun. I can share a few things and keep myself up to date on druidly goings-on, rather than get stuck with no other resto druids to share my ideas with in my little 10-man guild. I'll try to just post once a week and keep up with it... after all, people say keeping a diary is a good idea, so why not make it a public druidy diary of useful stuff?"
...I post, what, at least 4 times a week now? :)
|Thank you to all of my followers and fellow bloggers and commentors who have shared tips and stories, or have just made use of the muddle of math and strats I've posted over the year. You guys are why I'm doing this. Your support makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
In honor of Dreambound's first year, I have completely overhauled my Resto raiding guide. I have learned so much over the year not just from my own experience within the game, but also from reading other blogs or comments and learning about other styles of resto raiding. I will continue to work on it: I'd like to add illustrations, because I believe illustrations and graphics considerably help the learning process beyond what mere text can communicate.
You can find the new guide here, with its own section of pages.

Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Sporting a 10-game win streak, the 15th- ranked Cincinnati Bearcats continue American Athletic Conference action on Thursday night, as they play host to the UCF Knights at Fifth Third Arena.
Mick Cronin's Bearcats may be ranked 15th in the nation, but the team is still flying a bit under the radar, despite marquee wins over the likes of Pittsburgh and Memphis. Cincinnati sits all alone atop the AAC standings, moving to a perfect 6-0 with last weekend's 61-54 road win at South Florida. Cincinnati is a flawless 13-0 at home this season and the 17-2 start is the school's best since the 2001-02 campaign (26-2).
The Knights are fighting an uphill battle in this one, as Donnie Jones' squad tries to halt a three-game skid. UCF is 9-7 overall, but conference play has not been kind to the Knights, who fell to 1-4 in the league following last weekend's 58-46 setback against SMU.
This is just the second time these teams are meeting on the hardwood. Cincinnati won the first-ever meeting, 62-48 in the 1983 Citrus Bowl Classic.
The Knights have been a competitive squad this season, averaging a steady 75.4 ppg, while holding a +5.4 rebounding margin. The team does have some scoring depth, with four players currently averaging double figures. The versatile Isaiah Sykes leads the way with 15.4 ppg. He is the only player in the AAC to rank among the top 15 in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and field-goal percentage. However, Sykes is questionable for this contest with a head injury. Calvin Newell is next in line at 12.3 ppg, followed by Tristan Spurlock and Kasey Wilson, at 11.8 and 10.5 ppg, respectively.
Sykes left the SMU game due to injury with the Knights leading by two points. His exit spelled doom for UCF, which dropped a 12-point decision to the Mustangs. Overall, UCF shot a mere .313 from the floor, including an ugly 7- of-27 effort from behind the arc, while managing a mere 46 total points. Spurlock was the only Knight to finish in double figures in the loss, posting 11 points.
Defense is the name of the game for the Bearcats, who have held 26 straight opponents under 70 points, the longest active streak in the nation. The team ranks third nationally in scoring defense (56.2 ppg) and 16th in field-goal percentage defense (.383), while maintaining a +4.9 rebounding advantage and an impressive +5.0 turnover margin. Offensively, the Bearcats look to star guard Sean Kilpatrick to lead the way. He has done just that, pacing the entire conference in scoring at a healthy 18.6 ppg. Justin Jackson is a strong complement to Kilpatrick with his versatility up front. The 6-foot-8 senior is averaging 11.6 ppg, while pacing the team in both rebounding (7.5 rpg) and blocked shots (3.3 bpg). His 63 blocks on the year ranks fifth in the nation.
Cincinnati didn't have its best offensive game last time out, shooting a rather tepid .429 from the floor against USF, but the Bearcats did hold the Bulls to a mere .392 effort, including a 2-of-9 showing from 3-point range. Kilpatrick led all scorers with 18 points on 7-of-17 shooting. Shaquille Thomas finished with 10 points, while Jackson netted nine.

- 3 pounds venison stew meat, such as round or roast, trimmed and cubed
- 4 cups dry red wine
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 cloves
- 8 parsley stems
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons juniper berries
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 4 ounces pancetta or bacon, chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces wild mushrooms, wiped clean and stems trimmed, or quartered button mushrooms
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles
- Chopped parsley, garnish
- In a large non-reactive bowl, combine the meat, wine, vinegar, 3/4 cup onions, 1/2 cup carrots, 1/2 cup celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, cloves, parsley stems, bay leaves, juniper and peppercorns. Stir to combine, cover, and marinate 24 to 36 hours, refrigerated.
- Drain the meat thoroughly, reserving the liquid, and pat dry.
- In a large pot, cook the pancetta over medium heat until brown and the fat is rendered. Remove and drain on paper towels. In batches, add the drained meat and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the remaining onions, carrots, and celery, and the minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until soft. Add 1 cup of the reserved marinade and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan. Return the meat and pancetta to the pan and add enough marinade to come halfway up the sides of the meat. Reduce the heat, cover slightly, and simmer until the venison is tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. (The cooking liquid should reduce and thicken as the meat cooks, yet add additional liquid should be added as needed to keep the meat halfway covered during cooking.)
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and starting to brown. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook until al dente. Drain well and return to the pot. Toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, place the egg noodles in a large serving bowl. Top with the stew and arrange the cooked mushrooms over the stew. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

The workshop on "Candlelight Politics and Social Theory" was held at the seminar room of Joongmin Foundation for Social Theory(JFST) on March 8. In this workshop, which was jointly hosted by JFST and Korean Society for Social Theory(KSST), 7 scholars presented various interesting approaches to the Korea–specific candlelight politics.
Prof. Eloisa Martin, the editor-in-chief of Current Sociology, provided an interesting comparison of the presidential impeachment cases of South Korea and Brazil and proposed the task of bridging the gap between the current situation and social theory. Prof. Kwang-Yeong Shin also pointed out the limits of social theory revealed in this candlelight politics. Prof. Eun-Sung Kim and Prof. Hwan-Suk Kim presented respectively an interesting approach to candlelight politics from the viewpoint of the material culture of new materialism. Doctor Bo-Myung Kim explored how misogyny functions in the recent events of candlelight protests. Prof. Sang-jin Han, the president of the JFST, explored the meaning of the candlelight politics by using the concepts of 'emancipatory catastrophism' and 'metamorphosis' so as to show how the candlelight politics demands the transformation of the existing political system and political imagination. And Prof. Sang-Jun Kim asked the question of how to constitutionalize the sovereign will which was revealed in the candlelight politics, and presented the Citizens Assembly as an answer. Following a two-hour presentation, a heated debate took place over an hour.

The Army bureaucracy has allowed newly-hired employees to start caring for infants and children at base daycare centers before completing the entire vetting process to include criminal background checks, said Pentagon officials and former military daycare workers.
In the case of the growing scandal at the Fort Myer, Va., Child Development Center (CDC), where more than 20 percent of 130 daycare workers on the base had criminal records, Pentagon officials said it was still unclear whether criminal background checks were ever done at all.
The focus now is on the vetting procedures at other CDCs in the system "out of an abundance of caution," said a senior Defense Department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
"I worked there for five months until my background check came through," said a military spouse who formerly worked at the Army's Fort Campbell, Ky., CDC. The spouse described a system of colored badges that she wore to denote the level of supervision she required before the background checks were cleared.
If the practice is typical, then "there are a bunch of people working with kids before they even know if they are safe to be around," the spouse said.
The thoroughness of the background checks has become a matter of intense concern for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and President Obama since the arrest of two daycare workers at Fort Myer in September on misdemeanor assault charges for mistreating toddlers.
The arrests and subsequent investigations by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia led to the discovery through random background checks and an audit that at least 31 other Fort Myer CDC employees had criminal records, including two for misdemeanor sex offenses.
A "deeply disappointed and angered" Panetta, who was not told of the arrests or faulty background checks until Dec. 18, ordered a worldwide investigation of the hiring and training practices at the more than 900 CDCs and youth facilities in all the services. The facilities accommodate about 500,000 children on a daily basis. Panetta told the service secretaries to report back to him in writing by Jan. 21.
The fallout from the scandal also put Army Secretary John McHugh on the spot. President Obama made a late-night phone call to McHugh when the scandal broke to ask what went wrong and what he was doing to fix the system.
The daycare scandal hit home for the President. First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, have advocated for the troops through their "Joining Forces" initiative and the President has made support of military families a signature issue of his administration.
Panetta's investigation order focused attention on the actions of the Army's Installation Management Command (IMCOM), led by Lt. Gen. Mike Ferriter and headquartered at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. IMCOM, which provides infrastructure and services for Army bases worldwide, had responsibility for oversight of the training and hiring of CDC employees.
Ferriter was informed of the arrests and the background check problems at Fort Myer in mid-November, the senior Defense official said, and immediately "directed an inspection of the oversight and management at all CDC facilities."
Over the course of two weeks, several IMCOM officials and spokesmen did not respond to repeated phone and written requests for comment questions such as how many employees work at the CDCs and the role the outside agency, Child Care Aware of America (CCAA), plays in daycare worker hiring and training.
Under contract with the Defense Department, CCAA -- formerly known as the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies -- helps in providing daycare fee assistance to military families and "also assists with recruiting child care providers who meet the service-designated requirements" to work at CDCs, said Cynthia O. Smith, a Defense Department spokeswoman.
Smith said that "each of the military services is responsible for hiring employees who work with children in the child development programs" under Defense Department guidelines designed to "ensure that criminal history background checks are performed in accordance with the Crime Control Act of 1990."
A spokeswoman for CCAA, which calls itself "America's most trusted child care resource" on its website, declined comment on its work for the military.
George Little, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, said last week there had been no immediate indications that the hiring of daycare workers with criminal records was widespread in the vast military daycare system.
However, a former CDC director who spoke to Military.com on the condition of anonymity described a stressed system operating with a high burnout and turnover rate among employees.
"As a former director, I can testify the stress level is always very, very high -- some children with very difficult behaviors, poorly-trained caregivers, toxic parents, a host of nonsensical regulations, and no 'go-to' for help and answers.
"Most of the caregivers in my charge were very compassionate and hardworking, but the burnout and turnover levels were extremely high, like over 200 percent per year," the former director said. The result was that "nearly all the caregivers have little experience and less training -- certainly not the level of care these children deserve."
In the case of Fort Myer, parents were notified within a week of the Sept. 26 arrests on misdemeanor assault charges of the two daycare workers but random background checks on other personnel at the CDC were not conducted until early November.
Shortly after Panetta and President Obama were informed last month of the Fort Myer situation, the senior Defense Department official said "we don't know if it was negligence in conducting the background checks or the background checks themselves were faulty." On Tuesday, the official said the Army still doesn't know.

Skip to comments.Spain links Syrian cabal to Sept. 11 plot--Prosecutors follow the money trail
Posted on 10/19/2003 4:03:02 PM PDT by SJackson
By John Crewdson, Tribune senior correspondent. Reporting and research assistance was provided by Drew Crosby in Madrid
MADRID -- The most sweeping criminal indictment to arise thus far from the Sept. 11 attacks reflects a quiet but dramatic change in understanding by investigators here and across Europe of the terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda, and the international Islamic radical-terrorist network of which, they now agree, it is merely a part.
As laid out in the indictment, the defendants' alleged activities--from arranging travel and providing introductions to procuring false documents and, especially, moving money--provide the first detailed look at one of Al Qaeda's most potent weapons: the ability to call on networks of sympathizers whose collective numbers are far greater than Al Qaeda's few hundred card-carrying members.
Not one of the dozen key defendants named here last month as members or supporters of an alleged Madrid-based cell accused of working for Al Qaeda and helping advance the Sept. 11 plot is a native of Spain, or even nearby Muslim North Africa.
Instead, all migrated to Spain from Syria, where--according to the Spanish indictment--most became affiliated with an ultramilitant Islamic group called the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood.
Virtually from the moment of the Sept. 11 attacks, investigators in Europe and the U.S. were perplexed by what appeared to be a Syrian connection to the hijackings, both here and in Hamburg, Germany, whose university campuses produced three of the four Sept. 11 pilots and several accused or convicted accomplices.
At first, some questioned whether the Syrian government had perhaps known of the plot, or even whether Syrian intelligence had somehow been involved. Neither now appears to be true, investigators say, citing Syria's limited but useful cooperation with Western intelligence agencies attempting to unravel the connection between Sept. 11, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.
One senior German intelligence official described the Muslim Brotherhood as "one part of the intelligence network of the mujahedeen." The Brothers, the official said, are not an extension of Al Qaeda but affiliated with it in the same way as Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah, which reportedly financed last year's Bali nightclub bombings with $30,000 provided by Al Qaeda, or a Salafist group in Morocco that allegedly used $50,000 in Al Qaeda money to pay for five suicide bombings in Casablanca earlier this year.
When Al Qaeda first appeared on the terrorist scene in the early 1990s, the Muslim Brotherhood was already well-established. It was 70 years ago last year that the Syrian Brotherhood, an offshoot of the even older Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, first dedicated itself to the overthrow of Syria's secular government.
In 1982, the Syrian army struck in an attempt to wipe out the organization, killing 5,000 to 10,000 Muslim Brothers in the Syrian city of Hama.
On to new lives

On to new lives
The Brothers who survived fled to neighboring Jordan and Saudi Arabia. From there, many went on to new lives in Germany, Italy, Belgium and especially Spain, where they obtained asylum or citizenship, married local women willing to convert to Islam, started families and went into business.
Some of the displaced Syrians did quite well. But rich or poor, many apparently retained their radical orientation into middle age. No longer young enough to fight in the jihad, but experienced in the mechanics of clandestine organizations, the Syrian Brothers were available to help Al Qaeda with financing, the movement of arms and the recruiting of young Muslim fighters.
Before Sept. 11, 2001, the man now at the center of the Spanish case might have seemed a classic immigrant success story: Muhammed Galeb Kalaje Zouaydi, after fleeing his homeland under hazy circumstances, made one fortune selling kitchen appliances in Saudi Arabia and another developing low-income apartment blocks in Madrid.
But to Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish magistrate who issued the 690-page indictment last month, Kalaje was much more than a flourishing entrepreneur. Garzon accuses Kalaje of having distributed some $800,000 on behalf of Al Qaeda by using his Spanish development company as cover, while keeping a second set of books to camouflage the transactions as legitimate expenses.
Emphatic denial
Kalaje's lawyer, Maria Angeles Ruiz Martinez, said her client had emphatically denied the charges at a postindictment hearing that was closed to the media. So had each of the other 13 defendants present, she said. The remainder of the 35 men named in the indictment are fugitives or citizens of other countries whose extradition Garzon has requested.
Ruiz Martinez acknowledged in a recent interview that her client had joined the Muslim Brotherhood as a young man--not out of ideological conviction, she said, but only to help him obtain asylum in Jordan. The same, she said, was true for many of the other Syrian defendants.
Since arriving in Spain in 1998, according to Ruiz Martinez, Kalaje donated tens of thousands of dollars--not hundreds of thousands, as Garzon alleges--to Islamic charities and individuals connected to Muslim fundamentalist organizations.
The money had come from Kalaje's own pocket as a zakat, an Islamic tithe he made as gratitude for his worldly success, and had never been intended to support terrorism, the lawyer said. Asked about the discrepancy between her client's admitted transactions and the $800,000 cited by Garzon, Ruiz Martinez said the police had misinterpreted Kalaje's ledger entries and in turn had misled the judge.
A second Syrian under indictment is Kalaje's business partner in Spain, Ghasoub al-Abrash Ghalyoun, who during a 1997 visit to the U.S. videotaped a succession of American landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, Sears Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge and the World Trade Center, the main target of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
Ghasoub claimed after his arrest last year that he had made the videotapes, which reportedly include views of the World Trade Center's twin towers from many angles, at the request of a Spanish architect who later testified that he didn't know what Ghasoub was talking about.
The U.S. Justice Department has alleged in court documents that Kalaje funneled more than $200,000 to a single organization, the European office of the Bridgeview, Ill.-based Global Relief Foundation. The foundation's lawyers have denied accusations by the Bush administration that it diverted some of the contributions it received to terrorist organizations.
Ruiz Martinez confirmed that donations were made to Global Relief but said they had totaled only $36,000 and that the money Kalaje used had not come from Al Qaeda. She said she could shed no light on a report in two Spanish newspapers last year that some of the money Kalaje gave Global Relief was used to buy arms from the Kosovo Liberation Army that were shipped to Al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan.
Sharing the center spotlight with Kalaje is Syrian native Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas, allegedly Al Qaeda's chief contact among the Muslim Brothers in Spain, who in the mid-1990s reconstituted themselves at a local fundamentalist mosque as The Soldiers of Allah.
Barakat arrived in Spain in 1986 from Jordan, where he had initially fled after the Hama massacre. He married a Spanish woman and set himself up in Madrid as a small-time importer and wholesaler.
"I work in everything," Barakat told Garzon after his arrest in November 2001, "clothes, cars, honey, rugs . . . whatever comes around." Spanish prosecutors say Barakat's business, like Kalaje's, later became part of the support network for Al Qaeda.
Barakat's lawyer, Jalubo Teijelo, said his client had denied at the closed hearing any affinity for Al Qaeda or terrorism, telling Garzon that while he supported Muslim fighters in Bosnia and Chechnya, the Sept. 11 attacks had been "a barbaric act" not sanctioned by Islam or the Koran.
Teijelo acknowledged, however, that Barakat had given some $35,000 to Taysir Alouni, a prominent correspondent for the Arab satellite news channel Al Jazeera who is accused in the indictment of carrying the money to Afghanistan while serving as a courier for Al Qaeda.
Teijelo maintains that the payments to the Syrian-born Alouni had come from Barakat's own funds and had been intended for widows in Syria.
Alouni, whose several visits to Afghanistan during 2000 were recorded by Spanish police, reportedly has acknowledged to Garzon that he did carry thousands of dollars from Barakat to Afghanistan, and also to Turkey and Chechnya, but denies the money was intended to support Al Qaeda or terrorism.
Al Jazeera and a Syrian journalists group in Spain have protested that the charges against Alouni, who covered the post-Sept. 11 fighting in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, represent an effort to intimidate Al Jazeera and to punish it for its reporting, which some see as having an anti-Western bias.
Garzon's indictment says, however, that the charges "are supported by events that have nothing to do with [Alouni's] current profession as a journalist" and are based on events that occurred while Alouni worked as a translator for the Spanish news agency EFE before joining Al Jazeera.
The bulk of the information in the indictment was compiled before Sept. 11, 2001, by investigators from the Spanish national police the DGP, who began watching and wiretapping Barakat some six years ago. As the investigation progressed, they began picking up intelligence on Kalaje, Alouni and their associates.
Although at least two individuals close to the Sept. 11 hijackers in Hamburg subsequently fell into the DGP's net, the agency, like its counterparts the BKA in Germany and the FBI in the U.S., was unable to fully assemble the puzzle until after Sept. 11.
A piece of the puzzle
One of the larger puzzle pieces is Mamoun Darkazanli, a Syrian-born businessman and alleged Muslim Brother who for the past 20 years has lived in Hamburg and who appears more often in the indictment than anyone except Barakat or Kalaje.
"According to comments made within Islamic circles," a DGP report states of Darkazanli, "he's been acting Sheik [leader] for more than 16 years, and they say he's one of the best."
A two-year investigation of Darkazanli in Germany has found extensive financial dealings with known and suspected Al Qaeda operatives. Darkazanli has admitted that he knew the lead Sept. 11 hijacker, Mohamed Atta, during Atta's university days in Hamburg.
The Spanish indictment adds a new dimension to Darkazanli's activities across Europe, showing 30 calls to Alouni's home or office from Darkazanli's Hamburg telephone number between August 1998 and August 2000.
On at least four occasions during the same period, Darkazanli traveled to Spain to visit Kalaje, whom he had met previously in Saudi Arabia, and Barakat, with whose family he had lived in Jordan. On one of those trips, Alouni accompanied Darkazanli to Madrid from the Spanish city of Granada.
Police and prosecutors here and in Germany do not know the purpose of Darkazanli's trips to Spain. But Garzon describes Darkazanli, whose extradition from Germany he has formally requested, as Osama bin Laden's "financier in Europe," and a crucial link between Spain and Sept. 11.
Money trail
Garzon alleges that Kalaje channeled some $20,000 to Darkazanli, either directly or through a close associate, a Hamburg taxi driver named Abdul Fattah Zammar--another Syrian native who is Alouni's brother-in-law and a cousin of Mohammed Haydar Zammar, the Hamburg auto mechanic who reportedly has admitted helping recruit the Sept. 11 hijackers on behalf of Al Qaeda.
In a deposition taken last year by Ruiz Martinez, Darkazanli maintained that he and Abdul Fattah Zammar received only $9,000 from Kalaje, intended for the purchase of a used car in Hamburg that would then be shipped to Kalaje in Spain.
"For several days," Kalaje recalled during an interrogation by Garzon, Darkazanli "looked to see if he could find an appropriate car for us." But such a car hadn't been found, Kalaje said, and Darkazanli had returned the $9,000.
Records of Abdul Fattah Zammar's Hamburg account show, however, that while the money was received on May 25, 1999, the same amount was wired back to Kalaje on July 22--almost two months after it was sent, not "several days," raising questions about how the money had been used.
German investigators have expressed skepticism that a millionaire like Kalaje would have needed to hire anyone to find him a $9,000 used car.
As an investigative magistrate, Garzon performs a function that is unknown to American jurisprudence but is probably closest to that of a grand jury. For the past two years, he has ordered the arrest of suspects and questioned witnesses in the case, a process that culminated on Sept. 17 with the indictment.
It will now be up to prosecutors to try that case before another court, a process that some of the lawyers involved predict will not begin for a year and could take another year to reach a conclusion.
Although belonging to or supporting a foreign terrorist organization is illegal in Spain, Garzon's indictment turns on the argument that Sept. 11 was partly rooted in Spanish soil. One fact in support of that argument is a visit to Spain, two months before Sept. 11, by Atta, who is believed to have piloted the first plane to strike the World Trade Center.
A post-Sept. 11 investigation found hotel employees on Spain's Tarragona coast who recalled seeing Atta with Ramzi Binalshibh, a sometime Hamburg student and full-time Al Qaeda organizer who six days before the hijackings fled Hamburg for Spain and, later, Pakistan.
In an interview with Al Jazeera before his capture in Karachi, Pakistan, on the first anniversary of Sept. 11, Binalshibh boasted that he had been the Hamburg coordinator of the hijacking plot. The purpose of the Tarragona meeting, he said, had been to give Atta the final authority to choose the date and targets of the attacks.
Investigators here admit that they do not know who else attended the meeting, which occurred in 2001 between July 10 and 13. But they know from wiretaps on Barakat's telephone that Darkazanli was in Granada with Barakat and Alouni at the same time.
Garzon maintains that Barakat and the Spanish Al Qaeda cell contributed to the hijackings, in part, by helping arrange the meeting.
Asked whether Binalshibh, who has been extensively interrogated by American intelligence agents, had provided information linking Barakat or Darkazanli with the Tarragona conclave, a senior German intelligence official shook his head and replied, "Nothing."
`Beheaded the bird'
Another significant item, in Garzon's view, is a telephone conversation Barakat had two weeks before Sept. 11.
While police tape recorders turned, Barakat's caller reported from London that "they" had "entered the field of the aviation" and "have beheaded the bird."
According to the caller, "they" would start to "move" within a month. Interpreting "bird" as a reference to the American eagle, Garzon concluded that the caller was alerting Barakat to the impending Sept. 11 attack.
The identity of the caller, who identified himself during the conversation only as "Shakur," remains a mystery. During a lengthy interrogation by Garzon, Barakat refused to name the man.
Barakat knows the answer, but he is not talking.
"If in the current state of events I identify a friend," Barakat told the newspaper El Mundo last year, "he would be dragged by his arms into the same unfortunate destiny as mine. Surely they would accuse him just as unfairly as me."
This article is worth reading again given our current predicament of a Muslim Brotherhood loving president and a covert war in Syria.
JANUARY 2000 : (MALAYSIA TERROR SUMMIT _ ---see IRAQI NATIONAL AHMAD HIKMAT SHAKIR/SHAKUR) JANUARY 5, 2000 : (---see AULAQI) HERE IS WHAT WE KNOW TODAY about Ahmed Hikmat Shakir. In August 1999, Shakir, a 37-year-old Iraqi, accepted a position as a "facilitator" at the airport in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A "facilitator" works for an airline and assists VIP travelers with paperwork required for entry and other logistical issues. Shakir got the job because someone in the Iraqi embassy in Malaysia wanted him to have it. He started that fall. Although Shakir officially worked for Malaysian Airlines, his contact in the Iraqi embassy controlled his schedule. On January 5, 2000, Shakir apparently received an assignment from his embassy contact. He was to escort a recent arrival through immigration at the airport. Khalid al Mihdhar, a well-connected al Qaeda member who would later help hijack American Airlines Flight 77, had come to Malaysia for an important al Qaeda meeting that would last at least three days. (Shakir may have also assisted Nawaf al Hazmi, another hijacker, thought to have arrived on January 4, 2000.) -----------Stephen Hayes:See No Evil, Hear No Evil(What the 9/11 Commission narrative left out: Iraqis) The Weekly Standard ^ | September 5 / September 12, 2005 | Stephen F.

Very important and thank you for updating this page, Piasa.
Al Jazeera is also based in Qatar, and a number of their reporters have been caught aiding al Qaeda.
Qatar, while a useful US ally, is also pro-Muslim Brotherhood, and is meddling in Mali where al Qaeda is battling for control against France.
The Iraqi, Hikmat Shakir, in his pocket litter had conact info for a number of known al Qaeda terrorists and also had an old number for Taba Investments - the very same number used by al Qaeda's most senior Iraqi member Mahmdouh Mahmoud Salim. Taba Investments was an al Qaeda front group in Africa which was known for buying uranium among other things while bin Laden was in Sudan, under the patronage of Tourabi's NIF, which wa salso backed by Iran. A guy named Bayazid worked at Taba; Bayazid listed his home address as the same location as the charity Benevolence International, based in Obama's home turf of Illinois.
Despite all of this, Qatar released Ahmad Hikmat Shakir and he fled to Iraq.
