Match: Lots over the last 3 years

Very poor facilities for wheelchair users. No covered area making it impossible to watch the game in wet weather. Club has made little or no effort to improve disabled viewing over the last 3 years.

This is a monastery I walk past every day to go to uni or elsewhere in the city, so it would've been easy to forget to visit due to its close proximity and thinking I have time to do it later. Luckily that's not what's happened and my visit was really lovely. The monastery is from the 14th century, but had to be abandoned three centuries later as it was often flooded because it was too close to the river. I walk past the new monastery every day as well, but still need to visit! The ruins of the old monastery are so well-preserved and the architecture is beautiful. But once you see a miniature model of what the monastery and its surrounding buildings, gardens, farms and fields used to look like and how far spread they used to be, you also realize how little has been preserved after all. What has been preserved is gorgeous, though. Although the monastery now looks quite plain in colour, it must've been so pretty in its day as it seems like it used to be covered in azulejo (the Portugese tiles you see everywhere - not complaining, though, they're lovely!). It's funny how in a lot of things in history and archaeology the colouring and art in other ways as well can seem very plain, serious and monotonous to us now, but was often actually so much more colourful, brighter and interesting originally. I was recently (well, in January) attending one of the tours&talks at the British Museum and the guide (who was lovely and whose name I've forgotten) touched upon on this as well, which was very interesting. I think the monastery looks beautiful as it is now, but can you imagine what it would've looked like when it was colourful, surrounded by a garden and lots of water fountains!

The Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday the establishment of Bureaus for Children's Rights interspersed all across the country manned by professionals seeking the protection of the welfare of all children experiencing untoward circumstances such as abuse or neglect by adult guardians.
President of the National Bureau for Children's Rights Dr. Mona Al-Khawari said that teams of professionals will receive calls regarding any cases of abuse or neglect to children from primary health care clinics, hospital emergency rooms, schools, or police stations, to name a few.
These professionals will prepare thorough accounts of the abuse or neglect cases, substantiated by medical or psychological data, and turn them over to authorities for possible legal action, said Dr. Al-Khawari.
In documenting such cases, the National Bureau works closely with the Ministry of Interior to determine the extent of the abuse and neglect, she said, stressing that the Ministry of Health cares deeply about children who might be exposed to bodily or emotional harm at the hands of abusive or neglectful adult guardians.

Van Gaal better than Mourinho and Guardiola, says Litmanen
Former Ajax and Barcelona forward Jari Litmanen has voiced his admiration for Louis van Gaal and claimed the Manchester United manager is better than Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.
Litmanen worked with Van Gaal at Ajax between 1992 and 1997 before they were reunited at Barcelona in 1999.
"Pep Guardiola is good and so is Jose Mourinho, but Van Gaal is the best coach in the world," Litmanen was quoted as saying by Italehti.
"And everybody will agree with me when they look back in 25 years' time or so.
"It happened to me numerous times that I disagreed with something Van Gaal said and he then turned out to be right after all. Van Gaal was pretty much always right.
"He is always looking for perfection and gives the players a lot of responsibility. Everybody is a bit of a coach under Van Gaal.
"I could also have joined Roma, Milan, Bayern, Atletico and Liverpool in 1999, but I picked Barcelona. Van Gaal was the best coach I ever worked with. He was demanding and honest. He saw everything."
Litmanen won five Eredivisie titles with Ajax during his career and also lifted the Champions League in 1995. He later went on to win the UEFA Cup with Liverpool in 2001.

Robomow Automation Lawnmower
Robomow is a robotic lawnmower designed to mow and maintain your lawn on its own. Robomow requires a simple one-time installation of a base station and a perimeter wire, which will mark the lawn boundaries. The perimeter wire is flush at the ground level, and it will get covered by grass within a few weeks. Robomow recognizes the perimeter wire using special sensors and makes sure to always stay inside the designated area. Robomow will automatically mow the lawn, and continuously alternates between mowing and charging. It independently leaves the Base Station and cuts the lawn by moving around it in a random pattern, until the entire area is evenly cut.
Robomow RS622
The RS622 shows all of the characteristics of being able to handle larger lawns. The RS622 is fast and agile while it takes care of business, and is able to do its duty well in sprawling lawns of 2200 square meters. The Robomow RS622 is one of the company's heavy duty robotic lawn mowers which is able to cut and trim lawns no matter whether the grass is dry or brittle, or wet and long, the RS622 is able to go the distance.
Robomow App Makes it Easy
The Robomow App brings you a lawn mowing experience unlike any other. Wherever you are – on the sofa, in the garden, out and about… Interacting with your mower has never been faster, easier or more enjoyable.
Mow those small patches located away from your main lawn and navigate from one garden to the other – effortlessly.
Scheduling Robomow
The lawn area defines the required mowing time for your lawn – this is the duration of a single mowing cycle. The inactive times define the hours and days when Robomow will rest. The mowing frequency parameter defines how often a mowing cycle is repeated (once a week, twice a week, etc.). During active times, Robomow will continuously alternate between mowing and charging until it completes the entire mowing cycle. After a mowing cycle is completed, it will stay in the Base Station until the next Mowing Cycle should start, depending on the configured mowing frequency.
Robomow comes equipped with built-in safety features
Child Lock: The Child Lock feature prevents unintended operation of Robomow by an accidental press of one of the buttons. Only pressing two buttons in a certain order will initiate the operation. Anti-Theft / Disabling Device: The Anti-Theft / Disabling Device system provides the user with a disabling function that prevents anyone from using or driving the Robomow without a valid code. You will be prompted to enter a four-digit code of your choice, which you can use as your personal security code

Two wounded by Canadian Mine's gunmen in Ocotlán, Oaxaca
January 18, 2012
This denouncement was received by urgent notice of our social networks:
"Our comrades of the Coordinated United Peoples of Ocotlán Valley (CPUVO) inform us that they have experienced the following repression in the community of San José del Progreso, two people have sustained gunshot wounds: Bernardo Méndez Vásquez and Abigail Vásquez, at the hands of gunmen hired by Fortuna Silver-Minera Cuzcatlán, in San José del Progreso, Ocotlán, Oaxaca; in collusion with the Municipal President. This occurred when the victims sought to halt the construction of hydraulic pumps in their community that would give the mining company access to consume the region's water supply. These comrades are reported to be in critical condition."
The Sixth National Assembly of Environmental Victims was held in Ocotlán.
The photos are of those who have defended the mine:

Thief 2 is an excellent, engaging, atmospheric game. You play as Garrett, a master thief drawn into a conspiracy that threatens his world. The story is great, with better pacing than Thief 1 and a more menacing antagonist. The level design, overall, is also of a greater quality in Thief 2, featuring larger, more expansive environments. The supernatural elements of Thief have been toned down a lot in its sequel.
As a result, I think Thief 2 lacks the creepy, tense
atmosphere of the original, especially during the later levels. I was
also a little disappointed at how few of the levels are primarily
about, well, theft. Garrett takes on an almost 'secret agent'
type role over the course of the game, and stealing gold and trinkets
becomes the secondary objective in many of the missions. I also didn't find the mechanical creations as
threatening as the ghosts, zombies or creatures of Thief 1. Like
Thief 1, the final mission is also rather lacklustre.
But these issues are largely just personal niggles, and it's still
an amazing title. It combines great gameplay, sound, story, VA and
music to create something quite unique and special. All that's left
now is to play Deadly Shadows to round off the trilogy.

During those days when both time and money are in short supply, a harried cook needs to be able to fall back on some easy, inexpensive recipes.
A concern for health and fitness places another requirement on these recipes: The food should be low in fat (especially saturated fat) and high fiber and in complex carbohydrates. Seven-Ingredient Fried Rice fulfills all three of these requirements deliciously.
The ingredients for the zesty, aromatic sauce can be assembled as much as two weeks in advance and refrigerated until ready to prepare. The rice can also be cooked in advance and refrigerated (or frozen) until needed. (Substitute long-grain brown rice for white, if desired).

Manuscript-examiner Edward Fleming's search for his missing colleague leads to Saudi Arabia—and the unveiling of deadly secrets that threaten the entire foundation of Islam—in Hussaini's action-packed historical thriller.
When Kimberly, an American researcher, takes her interest in Fatima, the oppressed daughter of the Prophet Mohammed, to Dr. Fayazi, she sets in motion a chain of events that range from the murder of a prominent builder, Abdul Zahra, to a worldwide Internet virus claiming to reveal the truth of the Musehaf Fatima, or Book of Fatima. From the beginning, Hussaini's novel, in the spirit of Dan Brown, thrusts readers into a powerful murder scene. Weaving intriguing dialogue with crisp storytelling and an electric plot, Hussaini ensures that the adrenaline flow never stops. In addition to an exotic setting, the dynamic, entertaining cast of characters will keep the pages turning. Every character adds an intriguing element to the story, whether it's Princess Safiya driving everyone around in her Bentley and Hummer, Zain's mysterious behavior when speaking of the Musehaf Fatima, Dr. Fayazi's fanaticism for the Musehaf, Vane's calm demeanor and killer mentality or the partial amnesia that erases parts of Edward's life. More importantly, the author does an exceptional job of accurately providing historical insight into a religion and a way of life that many are oblivious to and label as controversial. As each clue is unveiled in the desert landscape, readers learn about the warrior Emam Ali, the injustice done unto Fatima, the noble life of the Prophet Mohammed and perhaps the golden nuggets of wisdom that are buried within the Musehaf Fatima. The fact that the entire ordeal spans only 24 hours is a bit difficult to digest, especially because Edward and company travel from Mecca to Medina and to a host of holy Islamic sites; however, this is hardly a flaw as it only adds to the heart-wrenching pace and excitement for the reader. There are those that will kill to keep the Musehaf Fatima hidden; there are others who will die to reveal the truth of Fatima.
Hussaini seamlessly blends compelling characters, thought-provoking situations, an impeccable discourse on Islamic history and a unique style and language to deliver an unparalleled historical thriller that will have readers anticipating his next novel, Echos of Fatima.

california, Mark West, monterey, pinot noir, red wine, review, wine
Winery: Mark West
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Date Purchased: 12/3/2016
Location Purchased: Publix
Cost: $13.99 but bought as a BOGO so $7.00/bottle
Date Consumed: 1/7/2017
Review/Notes: After a cold day in North Florida comprised of a longish run ending with numb fingers and a cooler temperature at the finish than the start we decided to make some comforting spaghetti and meatballs. This Pinot followed a round of Dark N'Stormies.
I don't think I cared for the last Mark West wine that we had but this one was more to my liking. It was quite smooth with subtle fruit, a bit of nice depth to it as well. We are enjoying it, which is good because there is another bottle. It worked with the tomato-based sauce on the pasta nicely too, double bonus.

so people actually watch nbahuh
I'm a Bulls fan, but since I'm moving to Dallas, the Mavs will probably become my 2nd favorite team.Even if the Suns win this series, Suns fans will disappear in 2-3 years when Nash's age catches up with him. The Suns play like darn when Nash is out. Dallas has the talent to be good long-term with their current make up. The Suns will be just like Miami - trading short-term gains for long-term mediocrity.

Weddings are one of the most important days for a couple.
Most people want to memorialize their special day with a video of the event.
When shooting a wedding video, you want it to be high quality with none of the typical wedding video blunders; out of focus, shaky video, and missed, important moments.
You can learn tips on how to shoot a quality wedding video.
3 Top Tips
Learn Your Equipment
Your equipment is obviously your video camera. Before you head off to shoot an event like a wedding; it's important that you get to know your camera. You will want to read the instructional first to learn about your camera's features. Then, get to know the camera with hands-on practice. Get familiar with the buttons: On and Off, Record, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Play, and the others. You will want to practice turning the camera on and off so you will be quick to do it when you need to. Practice using the "record" button. One you thing you want to be familiar with is what it looks like when the tape is running – this way it is easily detected when the camera is on.
Maneuvering the camera with ease may take some getting used to. Practice holding it and shifting it around so you will know what is comfortable for you. You never want to be without batteries or a charger. Make sure your camera equipment is fully charged before the wedding.
Take plenty of video. Practice different angles. Practice adjusting the focus by widening and tightening your subjects, and practice panning or following different moving subjects, all without shaking the camera. Quality wedding videos rely on a steady hand. Practice taping sound, as well. Too much movement with the camera during speaking parts can make voices sound garbled and scratchy.
Visit the ceremony site
Before you are scheduled to shoot the actual wedding, visit the site of the wedding, and the reception. This will let you know different places you'll need to stand to shoot the different parts of the ceremony and events of the reception. You will also be able to find areas that will be noisy so you'll know to avoid them: the door to the kitchen, loudspeakers, air condition units and other noisemakers. Being too close to noisemakers may prevent you from capturing the wedding vows, or a clear version of the special music. One of your jobs it to be sure the speaking parts of the ceremony are heard clearly. Especially the exchanging of the vows.
Making sure you get the important moments is your top priority. You want to be sure you capture the wedding party walking in, music performed for the couple, the wedding vows being exchanged, and the wedding party exiting. Don't focus on the guests in the audience.
At the reception, the cutting of the cake, the toast, first dance, and the bride dancing with her father are all important and memorable moments. You should know the schedule of the events ahead of time, and where each event will happen so you are ready and in the best position to catch the event.
As you're changing views from one area of interest, to the next, be sure to pan with a steady hand; not moving too fast or shaking the camera. One thing you will always want to be considerate of as you move about the wedding, is the other guests. You want to be sure to not block the view of the events; such as, the wedding vows, the first kiss, the toast, and others from them while you film. No one appreciates a discourteous videographer.

Dr Twigg is a listener and has a very practical approach to patients which is what a good doctor should have. She is realistic and, in my experience, ensures that the patient's needs are met both physically and psychologically. I visited Dr Twigg specifically to address a very stressful time I suffered. She worked through this with me and, without prescribing medication, I could rebuild and establish a lifestyle which significantly reduced my stress and anxiety. She was there every step of the way. A good doctor.

Tension in the string and acceleration of body:
The two bodies weighing 300N and 450N are hung to two ends of the rope passing over an ideal pulley as shown in the figure given below. With what acceleration will heavier body come down? What is tension in the string?
Sol: As string is light, inextensible and frictionless, so tension in the string on both the side is equal to T, let acceleration of both block is 'a'.
Let block weighting 450N moves down,
Consider motion of 450N block, Apply relation, F = ma
450 - T = (450/9.81) a
450 - T = 45.87a ...(i)
Consider motion of 300N block,
Apply the relation, F = ma
T - 300 = (300/9.81) a
T - 300 = 30.58a ...(ii)
Add equation (1) and (2)
150 = 76.45a
a = 1.962m/sec2 .......ANS
Putting value of a in equation (i),

I've read some really amazing posts over the years about over-coming self-hate, self-doubt, negative thinking. I've also read posts where people are still struggling with inner demons. I don't talk about those topics often. I tend to keep my blog posts fairly light, trying to find positivity.
However, when I read such posts, they almost always strike a chord with me. Why? Because I am human too. I have people make comments about being an inspiration, being dedicated, a machine, super fit. But you know what? I have my own self-doubts to contend with.
I might be a fantastic cheerleader for those around me, friends, family, bloggers, co-workers. However, I often spend all that energy outward so as to avoid dealing with my own negative self thoughts.
Sometimes I don't like what I see in the mirror. I pick myself apart, am too self-critical. Of course I want to ask, "Why are women so hard on themselves?" But that's rhetorical of course. You'd think it was about beating each other up, but it's more about what we do to ourselves.
I thought for Fun for Friday, it'd be great to end the week with positive affirmations about ourselves. Let's toss out those negative thoughts, even if it's just for the moment. That's a start right? Taking baby steps to shoo the self-doubt out of our own way.
Let's all do an exercise together - if you'll indulge me. Using the letters of your first name, turn them all into positive words about yourself: it can be personality traits, looks, physique, whatever, maybe even a little bit of everything that you DO like about yourself. Not about the day or the week. Not about things you enjoy, but about YOU.
Your turn!

Top Black Billionaires
Every year, Forbes magazine releases its list of the world's richest people, and here are the top six black billionaires for the year 2010. Last year, there were seven black billionaires. Nigerian Femi Otedola fell off the list temporarily, but he is expected to make a comeback. There are a total of 1011 billionaires in the world listed by Forbes in 2010, which is still shy of the 1125 listed in 2008, but up from the 793 figure for 2009.
- Mohammed Al Amoudi is presently the richest black person in the world with an estimated net worth of $10 billion. Born of an Ethiopian mother and an Arab father, Al Amoudi made his money in construction and real estate. He owns Svenska Petroleum which is an oil exploration business that goes from the Nordic Shelf to the Ivory Coast. He also found a gold mine in the Oromo region of Ethiopia that is expected to double its yield of six tons of gold annually in 2010. He owns properties in London and the U.S. and donated more than $1 million to the Clinton Foundation.
- Oprah Winfrey is the world's only black billionairess with a net worth estimated to be $2.4 billion down from $2.7 billion. She is also considered to be one of the world's twenty most powerful billionaires which includes not only money but power over consumer choices. She owns Harpo Studios, Harpo Films, and has raised over $70 million for international humanitarian causes. She has been dubbed the "Queen of Daytime Television" and is considered the most philanthropic African American of all time. She gives to needy women, children and families through Oprah's Angel Network and The Oprah Winfrey Foundation.
- Aliko Dangote is Nigeria's first billionaire, the second richest black billionaire and the richest African citizen with an estimated net worth of $3.3 billion. Dangote became a trader at the age of 21 with a loan from his uncle. He built the Dangote Group which has interests in sugar, flour milling, salt processing, cement manufacturing, textiles, real estate, freight, oil and gas. He became President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange last August.
- Patrice Motsepe is South Africa's first billionaire with an estimated net worth of $2.3 billlion. He was born on Soweto and became a lawyer for a large law firm. He also began a contracting business doing mine scutt work. He has since built a $875 million (sales) mining operation called African Rainbow Minerals such as platinum, nickel, chrome, iron, manganese and coal. He is often dubbed the "Prince of Mines." He also has an interest in Sanlam, which is a publicly traded financial service company. He benefited from South Africa's Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) laws which state that companies cannot get a mining license unless they are 26% black owned.
- Michael Lee-Chin made the black billionaire's list from his stakes in several companies with an estimated net worth of $1.8 billion. His parents were both biracial Black and Chinese Jamaicans. He is part owner of the National Commercial Bank in Jamaica, Total Finance in Trinidad and Tobago, and Columbus Communications in Barbados. He also owns 250 acres of beachfront property in Jamaica and homes in Florida and Canada. Daniel Libeskind designed a building at the Royal Ontario Museum called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal that hosted the exhibit called "The Age of Dinosaurs."
- Mo Ilbrahim is a British billionaire of Sudanese Nubian ancestry whose net worth is over $2.5 million. He is an expert in mobile communications and has a distinguished business and academic career. He founded Celtel International which he sold for $3.4 billion in 2005, and pocketed $1.4 billion from the sale. He invests in Africa and created the Mo Ibrahim Foundation which awards money to former African heads of state who are leaders in promoting political freedom.

Brave New World
What role does technology have in the Worlds State? What commentary is Huxley making by giving it this role?
the world state
the world state
Technology runs people lives. It controls their births, education, jobs, and deaths. Huxley's commentary is a warning about the scientific and technological progress as it affects the lives of people and their individuality.


text: I thought this might be fun. At our gatherings for Thanksgiving and Christmas (although I'd love to hear about other nation's holidays) I typically take pleasure in creating some of the appetizers. It's always been a fun creative process, although I've learned sometimes people just want a normal pickle and a slice of roast beef and turkey! I have to admit a relish tray along with a good meat and cheese tray still rank high as my favorites. I would love to share some of the things I've done, and see ideas from others. I'll be tasked again this year for at least two large dinners so I'm ready to get my game on! A couple years back I did a "juicy lucy" platter. This was an OK idea, but it was difficult to get the components together in a form factor that was easy to eat. I thought they looked tasty though! Along the classic sandwich route, one of the first times I posted on Cheftalk looking for ideas on how to accomplish an app, I got some good feedback for "mini BLT's". These came out better and were easier to manage. I once did a grilled Mediterranean themed crostini with feta, kalamata olives, sundried tomato, and garlic marinated shrimp. Again while delicious seemed to be a little on the big side and took 3-4 bites. I'm sure I'll dig some more up. Would love to hear what your favorite appetizer offering is for really any occasion.

Official Mascots for Japan's FIT Program
(Source: Agency for Natural Resources and Energy)
SchemeThe tariff rates (fixed purchase price) were determined by an independent expert panel, which reviews them every year and if necessary revises them. Based on the technology type and facility scale, the tariff rates are varied to expedite the investment on all kinds of renewable energy. The figure below shows the rates and contract duration for FY 2012 and FY 2013 (Japan's fiscal year begins in April).
(Source: Agency for Natural Resources and Energy)
Due to the urgent needs for new power plants amid a moratorium on the restart of nuclear power plants, the expert panel gave very favorable rates to various renewable energy sources for FY 2012. The rates were however lowered for FY 2013 as many critics argued the 2012 rates would result in the extraordinary return on investment when the investors are protected from financial risks through guaranteed long-term contracts.
ImpactJapan's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy publishes the monthly statistics on renewable energy development, and the figure below summarizes the cumulative renewable energy development, including authorized projects under construction, as of Feb 2013. The below statistics shows that the introduction of the FIT program triggered an explosive growth of utility-scale solar (PV), when other energy sources are yet to gain traction.
(Source: Agency for Natural Resources and Energy)
The likely factors of the concentrated investment on utility-scale solar are (1) favorable purchase price, (2) environmental assessment waiver, and (3) siting advantage. The tariff rate was determined based on a national study over the life cycle costs of electricity generation in 2011, but the costs of solar panel has dropped sharply since then, which enabled the investors to exploit the price differentials between the actual costs and the tariff rate. The second factor also favors utility-scale solar, as the lengthy environmental assessment process, which normally takes at least three years, is not required for PV projects if the project area is 50 ha or less and does not cause adverse impact on land use. Utility-scale solar also has siting advantage as it can also be build anywhere, while most wind, geothermal, and biomass power plants usually have to be situated in remote areas with little transmission infrastructure to major energy consumption centers. These factors gave utility-scale solar competitive advantage over other renewable energy, causing the overconcentration of investment on a single energy source, at least for now.
The next blog will discuss the impact on national and regional fuel mix for electricity generation and future of the FIT program.

Police: Impaired driver crashes car, escapes fire in Cottage Grove
A Woodbury man faces criminal charges after his car crashed in a field near the Cottage Grove Service Center Monday and was destroyed by fire.
Police said charges are pending against the 26-year-old man for allegedly driving under the influence. He was driving east on 90th Street Aug. 21 when he crashed into a mailbox in the 9600 block, then left the road, went through a ditch and crashed into the prairie near Keats Avenue, Cottage Grove police Capt. Pete Koerner said.
The car started on fire after stopping about 100 feet into the field.
The driver, who was the only occupant, exited the car before the blaze started. A passerby reported the fire around 7:30 p.m.
Officers contained the fire and performed field sobriety tests on the driver, Koerner said. He did not have alcohol in his system, but was showing signs of impairment. Charges are awaiting lab results on a blood test.
There were no injuries. The car was totalled.

Republicans Widen Push for Senate Seats
President Barack Obama's sagging approval ratings and the rocky rollout of his signature health law are giving Republicans new hope of capturing Senate seats in states that the president carried in 2012. Patrick O'Connor reports. Photo: Getty.

... I ... Republicans have no hope of capturing city seats in states the president carried in twenty twelve it's Tuesday January twenty First welcome to lunch break I'm Lee Hawkins ... new signs today that President Obama seeking approval ratings and rocky Health Care Law Rollout are making real changes to the political landscape joining us now with political reporter Patrick O'Connor Pachter ... what are the new battleground states for twenty fourteen for the Senate election ... bull for much of the past year we've really focused on seven states that the president last ... in twenty twelve were Republicans Republican senators are facing reelection ... but because his approval numbers are much lower than they were a year ago because the HealthCare ... website has had problems because the law itself is ... in a little bit of turbulence ... are now looking at states of the resin actually won in twenty fourteen for a new twenty twelve as we start gearing up for the Senate races in twenty fourteen ... the first three states are states ... that were not necessarily expected to be close where Democrats ... had a pretty sizable lead but now pulling looks a lot closer ... Colorado Ohio and Michigan denial and Michigan Democrats are trying to hold seats ... up to retire and senators in Colorado there's the Democratic incumbent murky all ... was up for the first time since the sweeping view of the Senate ... on in in part on the Street The President Obama along the way back in two thousand and eight ... many New Hampshire and Virginia ... it's a little bit about the health care law and ... that the president's approval numbers but it's also because we now out ... top tier Republican candidates who are entertaining visit both of those states Ed Gillespie the former Republican National Committee chairman ... is Ardi announced his candidacy in Virginia and Scott Brown the former Massachusetts senator ... is toying with a bit against the Democrat teaching in in the granite State ... and how much is this ... is related to the fact that sitting presidents generally ... the parties of all sitting presidents generally don't do well under such circumstances ... yet midterms are typically that four of the ... income that of the White House in particular the and in a second term ... I we have this you know a number of ... Republicans lost the House and Senate in two thousand six hundred still be bliss ... I was in his second term ... if you go back through history ... the president Clinton fared a little bit better but he's really the Allied air of presidents tend to do for our their parties and informally midterm elections ... in large part because of voters are cutting ... the sake of the incumbent and also sick of this party made you wanna send a message to on ... so this is been you know history is not been kind to incumbent presidents the other issue for Republicans is that ... the electorate tends to be a little older and wider and midterm elections and it isn't president selection years and that stands to benefit them so ... I there are some underlying trends that were already hinted at and strengthen the Republican stance heading into November ... and now the atmosphere seems to be also tilting in their favor ... okay so I know you you mention some names but for the big name Republicans at least in what would you say Scott Brown or Gillespie ... yet mean Gillespie and browner the TUI Class B is Ardi announced his candidacy against Mark Warner is a popular well funded Democratic Senator Virginia ... to be very tough race a mean even Republicans in the state say that that ... he's been Gillespie's got a pretty steep hill to climb in order to be one there ... but he's able to make it competitive and that's one race ... that Democrats are to have to pay its agency that made me want to spend money on stage couple months ago ... and then in New Hampshire Scott Brown is really the wild card right now ... by all accounts teensy in the Democrat there may actually be in trouble ... her numbers are not ... probably where she would want him to be ... but no one really knows whether Brown this can actually run or not the sole this home in Massachusetts and insensitive to their vacation coming in and share ... he's been making the rounds among us the Republicans but he hasn't given a new one in the real sense of whether or not these in Iran and staff to pull the trigger your present because ... he's got a raise lot of money and also the use of soft voters there doesn't have a ton of time to do that ... alright Patrick White know we'll continue to watch this thanks for coming on

I'm in a small but growing minority that almost seem to be laying out - or discovering, pick one - a conspiracy of disinfo almost as vast as the alleged 9/11 conspiracy itself - how could all these people conciously buy into and promote what is clearly untrue? We must be off our rockers, you'll say. That's just about every member of the "9/11 Truth Movement" that's implicated on the Fruad namebase. But just go back and check my arguments, examine the evidence for yourself, and look again at these peoples' claims.
I'd like to officially open the post up to readers to submit their own nominees for examination as effectively taking on the no-plane/small-plane theories, your opinions on the list so far, etc. in the comments sections below. Any new personalities warranting mention here will be pulled up and added to the masterlist. I do try to be fair. This is basically anyone who's taken an explicit stand on the Pentagon attack, official or unofficial. Any new facts or opinions about those on the list I deem fit will be incorporated as well. Although it may seem odd, I'm including both people in the mainstream (at least the most relevant or entertaining) and in the 9/11 Truth movement. Anybody from anywhere that's gone on the record in a noteworthy way. The list originally mixed in with 757 deniers as well, but was way too long, and so far my list of fraud fighters is too short to split up into two posts, though I will sort them into Defenders and opponents of the official story. Their motives differ almost like night and day, but their methods and words are all worth looking at.
Defending the Official Story:
- "James B.": The "Chief" of Screw Loose Change, a site dedicated to de-bunking the video Loose Change. They and their readers seem largely dedicated to bolstering the official story, and James B is a Chief Warrant Officer in the Army National Guard. The comments section on the page features numerous fans, detractors, critics, and interesting back-and-forth. Pretty liberally moderated.
- - Loose Change vs. Tight Continuity
- - James B. on the bodies at the Pentagon
- Alexander Cockburn: A prime example of what many call "Left Gatekeepers," though he strongly criticizes Bush and the "War on terror," Cockburn denies 9/11 as an inside job in any respect, including blaming the failed air defense on a simple and expected series of screw-ups. November 28 2006, he described conspiracy theorists as "torturing the data [...] like mad Inquisitors [...] till the data confess." For example, "there are some photos of the impact of the "object" - i.e. the Boeing 757, flight 77 - that seem to show the sort of hole a missile might make. Ergo, 757 didn't hit the Pentagon. It WAS a missile. It wasn't smoke in some photographs obscuring a larger rupture in the fortified Pentagon wall."
- Guillaume Dasquié: Authored the 2003 book "The Big Lie: Theses and Nonsense about September 11" in an attempt to de-bunk Thierry Meyssan's works, even to the extent of stealing the name. It must be noted he is neither a Bush ally nor devoid of his own conspracy theorizing: That same year Dasquié co-authored "Forbidden Truth" with Jean-Charles Brisard, accusing Bush of complicity in 9/11 by being too soft on the Saudis, who have been trying to take over the world since the 1800s. He takes on the fraud but not from my angle. He's a War on Terror propagandist.
- Chris Farrell: Director of investigations, Judicial Watch - conservative legal watchdog group defending the official story by debunking the Frustrating Fraud. JW is also suing FBI for pre-9/11 counter-terror negligence.
- Tom Fitton: President of judicial Watch in 2006 when they started releasing Pentagon attack videos: "we wanted to help put to rest conspiracy theories out there that were suggesting that a cruise missile hit the Pentagon, that the government murdered the passengers on Flight 77, and other outrageous stuff. Just having the videos released is one more leg of the conspiracy theory that has been knocked out. This also reminds Americans of the evil we are facing."
- Mark Iradian: Producer of the video Screw Loose Change. Has to have made some specific and useful argument about the Pentagon attack tho I haven't watched it yet. "When you try to label the government for being a butcher and slaughtering 3000 of his own people, you better provide concrete evidence to back that up."
- Sgt. William Lagasse: pentagon police officer and Pentagon attack eyewitness. In a 2003 letter to 757 flyover proponent Dick Eastman: "Dear Sir rest assured it was a Boeing 757 that flew into the building that day [...] The fact that you are insinuating that this was staged and a fraud is unbelievable. You ask were the debris is...well it was in the building..I saw it everywhere. I swear to god you people piss me off to no end. I invite you and you come down and I will walk you through it step by step." Lagasse tricked into bolstering another overflight theory (The PentaCon, 2007) with his recollections, now found curiously inconsistent with the official story.
- James Meigs/the editors of Popular Mechanics: "Healthy skepticism, it seems, has curdled into paranoia. Wild conspiracy tales are peddled daily on the Internet, talk radio and in other media. Blurry photos, quotes taken out of context and sketchy eyewitness accounts have inspired a slew of elaborate theories: The Pentagon was struck by a missile; the World Trade Center was razed by demolition-style bombs; Flight 93 was shot down by a mysterious white jet. As outlandish as these claims may sound, they are increasingly accepted abroad and among extremists here in the United States."
- Mark Roberts: Author of a sharp debunking of Loose Change. Responding to the video's assertion "the two engines should have been found relatively intact at the Pentagon," Roberts quipped "You must be thinking of the old Pentagon, which was made of balsa wood and marshmallows. What sort of schooling have you received that's led you to believe that an airplane striking a reinforced concrete building at over 500 mph isn't going to break into small pieces? That's a serious question, by the way." He also penned "Loose Change Creators Speak," which spurred another Iradian video of the same name.
- Sarah Roberts: In late 2002 she bucked the trend of showing the lawn with so little plane wreckage, and instead compiled and released exclusive photos from inside the building that did show what she felt were parts from a 757. These photos, among the most telling used as evidence on this site, she summed up, "clearly show pieces of landing gears, a large turbofan engine, and fuselage. The evidence inside the building is consistent with the evidence of plane wreckage outside - indicating that a commercial airliner flew into the Pentagon on September 11th."
- Michael Shermer: Publisher of Skeptic and lead author of Scientific American's mid-2005 anti-9/11 conspiracy theory article "Fahrenheit 2777." Closing quote from that: "All the 9/11 conspiracy claims are this easily refuted. On the Pentagon "missile strike," for example, I queried the would-be filmmaker about what happened to Flight 77, which disappeared at the same time. "The plane was destroyed, and the passengers were murdered by Bush operatives," he solemnly revealed. "Do you mean to tell me that not one of the thousands of conspirators needed to pull all this off," I retorted, "is a whistle-blower who would go on TV or write a tell-all book?" My rejoinder was met with the same grim response I get from UFOlogists when I ask them for concrete evidence: Men in Black silence witnesses, and dead men tell no tales."
- Matt Taibbi - Authot of "The Idiocy Behind the '9/11 Truth' Movement," (Rolling Stone, Sept. 2006). Imagined planning session:
"CHENEY: And the Pentagon crash -- we'll have to do it in broad daylight and say it was a plane, even though it'll really be a cruise missile.
BUSH: Wait, why do we have to use a missile?
CHENEY: Because it's much easier to shoot a missile and say it was a plane. It's not easy to steer a real passenger plane into the Pentagon. Planes are hard to come by.
BUSH: But aren't we using two planes for the Twin Towers?
CHENEY: Mr. President, you're missing the point. With the Pentagon, we use a missile, and say it was a plane.
BUSH: Right, but I'm saying, why don't we just use a plane and say it was a plane? We'll be doing that with the Twin Towers, right?
CHENEY: Right, but in this case, we use a missile. (Throws hands up in frustration) Don, can you help me out here?
RUMSFELD: Mr. President, in Washington, we use a missile because it's sneakier that way. Using an actual plane would be too obvious, even though we'll be doing just that in New York.
BUSH: Oh, okay.
RUMSFELD: The other good thing about saying that it was a passenger jet is that that way, we have to invent a few hundred fictional victims and account for a nonexistent missing crew and plane. It's always better when you leave more cover story to invent, more legwork to do, and more possible holes to investigate. Doubt, legwork, and possible exposure -- you can't pull off any good conspiracy without them."
Summarizing the "movement:"
"[I]f there were any conspiracy here, I'd be far more inclined to believe that this whole movement was cooked up by Karl Rove as a kind of mass cyber-provocation, along the lines of Gordon Liddy hiring hippie peace protesters to piss in the lobbies of hotels where campaign reporters were staying."
- Mike J Wilson: Creator of an excellent animated Pentagon attack sequence that explains all the major evidence in confomity with a 757 strike. The video is viewable at You Tube.
Opposing the Official 9/11 Story but Accepting the 757 Evidence:
- Arabesque: Talented 9/11 truth blogger - in a massive and thoroughly detailed critical review of the PentaCon, my favorite passage so far is: "Even more significant is that the structural damage inside of the Pentagon aligns perfectly with the flight path as suggested by the light pole damage and generator as shown above. The filmmakers even acknowledge this point when they claim that the plane could not have caused the structural damage inside of the Pentagon if it approached from north of the CITGO gas station. This is very strong evidence that the PentaCon eyewitnesses are wrong." Exactly!
- Scott Bingham: 9/11 skeptic, against the HTB case. Seems to believe a real 757 was flown in by remote control. Bingham is the site administrator for Flight77.info to document his lawsuits against the FBI and DoJ to get the video of the Pentagon attack released, but his role has been eclipsed by similar but later lawsuits by Judicial Watch. Bingham believes Hani Hanjour was not the agent of the Pentagon attack, but "if you believe that Hanjour was not flying the plane because there was no plane, you've been suckered into the myth that something other than a 757 hit the pentagon - which happens to be most people now that the virus known as 'loose change' has infected so many."
- Margie Burns: I'm unaware of her stand on 9/11 directly, but she's focused on drawing attention to the Bush family's possible role in the attacks, notably Marvin's work on WTC security. Author of "Foolish no-planers getting all the attention; could that be the idea?" August 10 2006.
- Jean-Pierre Desmoulins: Author of site "Pentagon 2001 / 9 / 11 : the fraud !" Initially a Meyssan supporter posulating a Fighter jet attack, he later back off from this after looking closer at the evidence. Later said in mid-2004 Meyssan's theory was "technically incoherent and contradicts all the witness accounts." and also noted: "The efforts to promote the MIHOP 1 and MIHOP 2 theories [lead] the public to think that the official thesis are opposed only some wild "conspiracy nuts" theories which can be easily debunked by a technical analysis. This "noise" injected into the the system masks the "signal", i.e. that the truth is probably somewhere beetween the LIHOP and the MIHOP 3 theory. Obviously, deliberately or not, this is disinformation."
- Finatan Dunne: Irish multimedia activist - administrator of Break for News.com, formerly Wagnews, etc. Focusing on many issues - on 9/11 he's about exposing what he thinks are psychological operations (psyops) and discarding the tinfoil theories - like the Frustrating Fraud. He's gone so far as to call several activists, including Mike ruppert, "CIA bitches," and to dismiss 9/11 Truth itself as part of the 9/11 psyop campaign.
- -On the Pentagon attack as the "honeytrap" of 9/11
- -On the bodies found at the Pentagon
- Jamie Hecht: From the Wilderness, led the charge against the fraud there. Hecht called Robinowitz' "Identifying Misinformation" as "one of the most effective teaching tools about America's Reichstag Fire and the perpetual cover-up it launched."
- Jim Hoffman: 9-11 Research.com, 9-11 Review.com, wtc7.net. Primarily a specialist in the WTC demolition, Hoffman's solid evidence analysis points to a 757 but probably not piloted by Hani Hanjour. His research is cited in numerous posts here. "Many working on social justice causes like 9/11 are reluctant to admit that there are saboteurs in their midst. The idea that the struggle to expose the crime is just a contest between the official story and alternatives is comforting in its simplicity. Recognizing that the struggle is a two-or-more-front war of ideas can be intimidating or even overwhelming."
- Alex Jones: Radio host, multimedia activist, "mr megaphone" in Richard Linklater's movies. Jones is an invaluable ally but not my spokesman by a long shot. He's generally a populist but a bit brash and too "Conservative Christian" for me, and he exagerrates and sometimes distorts facts. But to his credit he's gone on the record against both the Frustrating Fraud and the official story. As far as this site's mandate, he should be clean, but whether by 9/11 shock jock instinct or whatever, he's at least passively pushed the fraud in the past. (see Fraud namebase).
- Steven Jones: BYU professor and Scholars for 9/11 Truth member who famously has claimed the WTC was felled by thermate demolition. He doesn't buy the fraud, but has remained somewhat vague on it. Joe R says compared to fellow st911 member Jim Fetzer, Jones "is much more reasonable and thinks the no-757 evidence is no good, but also thinks we need more data."
- John Judge: Coalition on Political Assassinations, saw the fraud right away. In October 2002 Judge released "Flight of Fantasy: Flight 77 Didn't Hit the Pentagon." A VERY interesting read with some early info that has since been contradicted by the official story (the radar tracking part was interesting), it warned "there is no question that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Remaining agnostic on this point also gives ammunition to the perpetrators of the stand-down and serves to discredit the other good work that continues to be done about the reality of what happened that day. It is my feeling that this thesis was actually part of an intentional disinformation campaign that spreads red herrings to discredit the real findings. [...] Let's discover and present the hard facts and force the coincidence theorists to come up with plausible explanations instead of spewing out speculations we cannot back up and leaving ourselves on the defensive."
- Russell Pickering: PentagonResearch.com - Seattle Area firefighter. 9/11 Skeptic specializing in analysis of the Pentagon attack. Though he seems open to different theories, his careful ly compiled evidence seems to point to a 757.
- -The Blue TarpSmuggling Op Exposed.
- -The A3 Skywarrior Theory
He's been working with the Loose Change forum on an ad hoc investigation, and on air with Micael Collins Piper Aug 14 2006 he sounded I thought a bit vague and questionable. But when Piper seemed to corner his site as debunking the 757 theory, Pickering stood his ground perfectly, reiterating that a 757 could well be responsible and does not make or break the case - there's still remote control as a possibility.
- Joël van der Reijden, AKA Joe R. - Has done an excellent analysisof the plane's damage to the Pentagon and the Fraudsters' to the search for 9/11 Truth. Dismissing logicless debates, he has said: "Forget all those discussions. They never solve anything as there's usually at least one side that defends a certain interest (or is just plain stupid) and is not interested in the truth. Do your homework; give other people your opinion and sources when they ask for it; then go do something useful."
- Mike Rivero: Whatreallyhappened.com. "Government shills are working hard to trick web sites into running the claim that a passenger jet did not really hit the Pentagon." Wrote "The "Pod People" And The Plane That Crashed Into the Pentagon." Quote: "Only in Warner Brothers cartoons does the Coyote leave a cookie-cutter outline of himself as he crashes into the rock face. In the real world (someplace that the "pod people" need to spend more time in) collisions are more complex. Airplanes do not make clean outline holes in buildings they collide with any more than cars make clean outline holes in walls they collide with. [...] At some point in the near future, photographs, or video will be "discovered" clearly showing the impact, and the mainstream media will have a field day ridiculing those "kooky Internet web sites" and their "silly conspiracy theories", all based on a silly theory the government is itself planting on the web."
- Mark Robinowitz: Creator of Oil Empire websites, a "follow the money" type 9/11 Skeptic, inspired by the best of the Ruppert tradition. Long-time denier of the no-757 Pentagon theories since late 2004 at least, and formative in my own growing doubts.
- Ruppert, Michael C: From the Wilderness. He has warned fellow 9/11 truthers to look out for discrediting disinfo, primarily urged not getting tangled in the physical evidence. In December 2005 From the Wilderness published Robinowitz's concerns that "Meyssan and Rumsfeld manufacture[d] the missile hoax" that was "is the most important and widespread 9/11 hoax." This was more Jamie Hecht's work though, and Ruppert had already revealed he believed it was not a 757 (see Fraud namebase).
- Emmanuel Sferios: 9/11 Visibility Project. Most notably in a September 11 2006 piece, he warned that the Frustrating fraud was wrong and harming the credibility of the Truth movement. ""[T]o prove that agents are among us, and that they have succeeded in taking over the bulk of the movement, one needs to go no further than compare the number of people who believe no plane hit the Pentagon with the number of people who know about the simultaneous wargames that were taking place on the morning of 9/11, and that prevented NORAD from intercepting the planes before they hit their targets. The former claim, widely believed, is perhaps the most successful and sophisticated disinformation campaign injected into the 9/11 Truth Movement. Supported by doctored video footage released by the Pentagon itself, it has almost single-handedly made the movement the laughing stock of Washington DC residents, hundreds of whom saw the plane hit the building, and thousands of whom have relatives or friends who did. And this was likely its intention, for it has successfully alienated from the movement precisely those DC professionals (senators, congressmen, federal judges, prosecutors, etc.) who hold enough power to effectively investigate and prosecute the crime. It has also been the primary wedge used to divide the movement from itself." - Sferios on Disinfo and Cointelpro and the Pentagon
- Joe Vialls: Enigmatic and eceentric researcher, died mid-2005. He's not a credible source, but has railed against the Fraud. March 2002: "In what appears to be a major disinformation exercise, a French web site has caused a minor storm on the Internet by claiming American Airlines Flight 77 did not crash into the Pentagon on September 11." He called the theory a "sick joke," and noted "Captain Charles Burlingame's widow is unlikely to appreciate the humor." Vialls' alternate remote control theory would be considered by many a sicker joke yet, but it does at least make more sense.
- Jeff Wells: Rigorous Intuition: "I think there's a grave problem of "sexing up" the truth with spectacular yet specious arguments. For instance, some of the splashiest and attractive 9/11 material is devoted to supporting the "Pentagon Missile." Sure, it gets people's attention - in fact, it dominates the public perception of alternative theories of the attacks - but is it right? Well, no; as I've said, I don't think so. And truth will suffer again and again when those who fell for the missile "hook" come to the same conclusion and chuck the whole thing, and those who were turned off the "missile" refuse to look any further."
"There is simply too much to counter the fantastic claim for the 9/11 truth movement to be squandering its integrity on such speculation."
"There was no guided missile, but I believe control of the aircraft was taken from Hanjour in flight so Flight 77 would behave as a guided missile."
9/11 Beliefs unsure:
- Ron Harvey: An early 9/11 theory debunker from the UK focused on the Pentagon attack and evidence for a 757 strike. His most noted achievements are assembling the early 2002 witness compilation website "They Saw The Aircraft" and for first plotting the five downed light poles.
- "Cat Herder": ATS member, author of the classic thread "9/11: A Boeing 757 Struck the Pentagon" – accused by Joe Quinn of disinformaion – possibly so – a number of major errors, like seeing the impact damage on the second floor - have allowed no-757 theorists to dismiss the work and continue their charade – seems less revelation in retrospect than limited platform for "debunkers" and almost part of the game… http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread79655/pg1
- Penny Schoner – compiled eyewitness accounts supporting a 757 strike in response to Meyssan et al.

"Less than a 3 percent drop in asset values could wipe out Wall Street" - Crisis Panel Says In Final Report
It's all about leverage. We've been waiting for this public quote for 2 1/2 years. It's very simple math. And it's also the key to understanding the crisis and why all of the banks are so deeply insolvent. You've heard it several times here before. Henry Paulson, when he was still CEO of Goldman in 2004, successfully lobbied the SEC to change the rules on capital ratios. Leverage exploded from a previous limit of 12:1 to beyond 40:1 for all 5 firms, and when you consider that a substantial portion of the assets were synthetics then the real leverage numbers were much higher.
Ratigan details Paulson's rarely mentioned role in the crisis...
Watch this from Dylan Ratigan and read the story below from the NY Times on Henry Paulson:
By the way, reinstating the pre-2004 rules of 12:1 would go a long way toward a financial fix and yet it was left undone by Dodd-Frank, which only required that the Federal Reserve undertake a study of capital ratios and report findings to Congress. That will certainly solve the problem.
Back to the math. In a world of 40:1, assets don't have much downside. Consider what this means in a simple example.
- If your collective assets drop in value from 100 to 97, you're done. Toast. Game over. At least that's how it's supposed to work.
Here's a further illustration.
Goldman Sachs could have $1 trillion in assets anchored by just $25 billion in capital. Assume Goldman's asset base loses 30% in value as happened in 2008, creating a paper loss of $300 billion, which if they were forced to mark honestly, would leave them insolvent to the tune of approximately $275 billion. This is what I mean when I've written before that the banks aren't just a little bit insolvent, instead their insolvency depth is a multiple (in this case 6x) of their original capital.
Adam Levitin testified last month to Congress that an honest accounting of JUST second lien loans - helocs and nothing else - not CMBS, not RMBS - just home equity loans - that this would instantly wipe out the entire capital base for each of the 4 largest banks - Citigroup, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Poof, and gone. And I'll say it 1 more time - that's just for helocs.
Now remember 'insolvent by multiples' as you consider the $144 billion paid out in bonuses in 2010 by a collective of bailed-out, bankrupt banks.
But none of that matters anymore, not since the FASB rule change. Now it's a game of super-galactic Texas bullshit as each and every bank survives by the foreskin of their mismarked assets, all with the blessing of Congress, CNBC, accounting regulators, Sheila Bair, Tim Geithner, Obama and the Ber-nank.
Now onto the story from Reuters, who got an advance look at the report from Phil Angelides and the Financial Crisis Commission due to be released later Thursday.
Financial Meltdown Was 'Avoidable,' Crisis Panel Finds
The financial crisis could have been avoided and was the result of poor decision making both in Washington and at top financial firms that fostered a culture of excessive risk taking, according to a draft report written by Democrats on a panel that investigated the meltdown and obtained by Reuters.
The Democratic majority of the 10-member Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission spreads the blame widely to regulators, politicians, financial firms and credit rating agencies.
The report will be officially released on Thursday but it has been endorsed only by the congressionally appointed panel's six Democratic commissioners. Three Republican members will release a separate minority report and a fourth Republican plans to unveil a report of his own that will focus on government housing policies.
Among regulators the report singles out former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and his successor Ben Bernanke. The report faults Greenspan and his allies for pushing the idea that financial institutions could "police themselves."
Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were criticized for not seeing the problems in the subprime mortgage markets earlier.
Clinton administration officials were rebuked for pushing to shield over-the-counter derivatives from regulation.
As for the corporate chieftains at the large financial firms that were either toppled or brought to their knees by the crisis, the panel says its examination found "stunning instances of governance breakdowns and irresponsibility."
Among those singled out are American International Group, mortgage giant Fannie Mae and Merrill Lynch.
The report faults investment banks Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley for "operating with extraordinarily thin capital" in 2007.
- "Less than a 3 percent drop in asset values could wipe out a firm," according to the report.
The report criticized credit rating agencies such as Moody's Corp, McGraw-Hill Cos' Standard & Poor's and Fimalac SA's Fitch Ratings for giving "their seal of approval" to securities that proved to be far more risky than advertised because they were backed by mortgages provided to borrowers who were unable to make payments on their loans.
The report also discussed the role played by "shadow banking," or unregulated financial firms, the securitization of private mortgage debt and over the counter derivatives.

Starting March 4 residents of the Sunshine Coast will join Metro Vancouver, Squamish - Lillooet and Fraser Valley regional districts in the benefits of the 211 help line and online search engine.
Looking for information on legal help, employment or settlement services, shelter availability or other services for seniors, families or youth? Simply dial 2-1-1 or go to resources.bc211.ca. This toll-free phone number provides citizens with information and referral to community, social and government services and will help fill major information gaps on the Coast.
A non-profit information and referral organization, bc211 is funded by the United Way of the Lower Mainland. The service utilizes an extensive database to help callers find the most appropriate resources in their local community. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and is multilingual.
All calls are answered by certified information and referral specialists with extensive training and social services experience. Calls are completely confidential. The bc211 service also operates several provincial help lines, funded by the province of B.C., including the Problem Gambling Help Line, VictimLink BC and Youth Against Violence.
"The Community Resource Centre (CRC) has been informing, referring, educating and empowering local residents for over 20 years. Having 211 available on the Sunshine Coast will strengthen and enhance the work that we do," said co-chairs Pat Hunt and Sandy McBride.
In 2011, the CRC and Sunshine Coast Community Services (SCCSS) signed a memorandum of understanding that forged a mutually beneficial partnership to meet our community's need for information, resource and referral.
Local women told the CRC's Progress Plan, a project for improving women's economic well-being, that a central source of information about local services was needed.
"Isolation is an economic risk factor. Individuals and families who are well connected have access to the information, opportunities and support needed to create financial security," added Michelle Morton, project manager for the Progress Plan.
In summer 2013, the CRC and SCCSS began exploring the possibility of bringing 211 service to the Coast.
Providing and improving local, face-to-face support and enhancing rural connection to information and referral services is also important. Thanks to a grant from the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation, the CRC has facilitated two information and referral round tables, which bring community agencies and organizations together to create connections and address gaps.
"We are excited to work with the community to build an information sharing network to improve information and referral along the Coast," said Christabelle Kux-Kardos, information and referral coordinator for the CRC.
The community is invited to join Community Resource Centre, Sunshine Coast Community Services, bc211 and the United Way on March 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Seaside Centre at a launch of the 211 service.
For more information call the CRC at 604-885-4088.

Kristoffer Ajer is already enjoying a different type of football education at Kilmarnock.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers encouraged the 18-year-old Norwegian to make a loan move to Rugby Park for the second half of the season and develop as a defender.
Ajer played primarily as a midfielder in Norway with Start but was happy to move back with Killie in order to move forward with Celtic.
Despite having a fine debut against Hamilton in the William Hill Scottish Cup at Rugby Park last week, the teenager found how much tougher life is away from Parkhead when Accies won with an injury-time penalty.
Ahead of the visit of Ross County in the Ladbrokes Premiership this afternoon, Ajer spoke enthusiastically about his new role.
He said: "The gaffer thinks it is good for me to get half a season at centre half, which is important for my experience. I haven't played there before and he told me half a year here, perform well and we will see in the summer.
"I think it is good to play as a centre-half here, to learn the physical type of game, to get the ball kicked towards you and try to head it and everything around that.
"The first week has been brilliant, just to just learn and experience what you have to do as a centre-half in Scotland.
"Of course it is different types of games every time. When you play for Celtic every team just sits in and goes for a 0-0. Here at Kilmarnock they will press you, they will go to win battles against you, so it is good for me.
"Obviously the 1-0 loss [to Hamilton] was disappointing. But we are only thinking about the Ross County game which we will take three points, hopefully.
"As a team we aim to get into the top six, which is the main target."
County manager Jim McIntyre, meanwhile, is looking for a repeat of last week's heroics.
The Dingwall side travel to Ayrshire buoyed by the 6-2 thrashing they handed out to Dundee United in the Scottish Cup fourth round last weekend.
But McIntyre is worried any drop-off in performance level will play into the hands of Killie.
A win for the home side would move them level with sixth-placed County on 23 points, and McIntyre said: "Dundee United have got good players and we played exceptionally well against them. But we know that when you go into the Premiership, if you are not at 100 per cent in any game, then you are going to get turned over.
"That's the way it panned out during the first half of the season when you see how tight the league is from sixth place down.
"We know we need to go to Kilmarnock and try to keep the levels that we have been at lately. If we do that, we have a great chance of winning the game."
McIntyre has added right-back Jason Naismith, midfielders Jim O'Brien and Oscar Gobern and forward Milan Lalkovic to his squad during January, while defender Erik Cikos has been released.

Thailand - Thai Prime Minister joins students in raising their voices to end violence in schools
©Plan International
Prime Minister Vejjajiva joined the youths in Bangkok at the Young Hearts Youth Arts & Media Festival - to end violence against children in schools - where he added his voice to the youths' call for their right to an education free from fear.
The festival is part of Plans global Learn Without Fear campaign which was launched after research conducted by Plan exposed the extent of the pandemic of violence, particularly sexual and gender-based violence, in schools across Asia. Thailands Children and Family Protection Centre, part of the Ministry of Education, revealed that every week at least one teacher sexually abuses a student (UN, Violence Against Children: Regional Consultation in East Asia and the Pacific, 2005). The real figure is certainly much higher as many girls are discouraged from speaking out. Research showed sexual violence was exerted by both girls teachers and their fellow students and included sex for grades by which teachers procure sex from girls in exchange for high marks. Sexual abuse is emerging as a major contributing factor to the gender disparity that exists in schools in Asia as girls drop out to escape it.
Under the Young Hearts project, such children received training by media professionals to provide them with the tools they need to speak out through youth media. On display was an impressive showcase of films, radio pieces, musical performances, short stories and visual arts pieces produced by them that provided an insight into their experiences of violence in schools.
Prime Minister Vejjajiva toured the exhibition, impressed by the talents of the young artists. He then demonstrated how these youths can further make themselves heard when he joined them in a social media workshop at the festival, and answered their questions online via his Twitter account, demonstrating for them in real time how social media can be used to spread a message to the world. He signed a pledge to support young people as they raise their voices through youth media and to help end violence in schools.
The weekend was an empowering one for the young media producers. Sisil, a girl from Indonesia, said: Its really thrilling. It makes it all worth it. When I see the crowds reaction and they are all so enthusiastic about our performance, all the tiredness and all the sweat doesnt mean anything anymore.
Soraya, a girl from Thailand added, I feel special when people see our film. We have met the children here at the festival through youth media. This is our passport to go around the world.
Leah Grace Bañares from the Philippines concluded, We were inspired to produce and, in that process, we were able to understand more the conditions of fellow children who, like us, are faced with a lot of challenges in education. Our works produced under the Young Hearts project will help shape opinions of others that could make a change in the life of us children.

Super Bowl Party: Countdown to the Big Game
For the die-hard football fan, the week leading up to the Super Bowl is a major nail-biter, and not because you are anxious about how your team will score on Sunday. The real cause of your angst is probably how to handle the guests you invited over for a game-day gathering; the guests you invited over for the ULTIMATE SUPER BOWL PARTY. Before you let your doubts get the best of you, look through this thoughtful how-to list. It will help you keep yourself on track with your party preparations so you can stop fretting and start fete-ing. When the big game day rolls around, your only worry will be about who is winning.
Three Days Before: Evaluate and List
Avoid leaving everything for the last minute by scheduling tasks and figuring out what you need to purchase. While your guests may bring some Super Bowl snacks, you should plan out your own menu and remember to include drinks. Also, consider the cleaning that will need to be done and whether or not you will be decorating. Create grocery and shopping lists, and be sure to include extra cleaning supplies in case your partygoers spill treats in their throes of excitement. Give yourself a day to think of other items to avoid making frantic last-minute trips to the store (which might be out of your goods after excited fans have ransacked the aisles).
Two Days Before: Shop and Stock
Do not wait until Saturday night (or, eek, Sunday morning) to start shopping for your party necessities, as they might be gone. Make your shopping rounds on Friday afternoon or evening to ensure you can check everything off on your list. Hopefully you have accounted for last-minute items, but be sure to pick up extra things like napkins, paper plates, stain removers, dust wipes, food storage tubs for leftovers, and vacuum bags.
One Day Before: Clean and Prep
While cleaning is probably the least exciting part of the prepping process, just think of all the fun you will be having the next day. Start in the morning by clearing clutter, vacuuming, and dusting. If necessary, set up your buffet table, and make sure your guests have a designated space to leave their shoes and hang their coats. Remember to clear some space in your refrigerator, too. Once you have gotten everything cleaned, properly festoon the house with streamers, tablecloths, and novelty decorations you have purchased.
One Day Before: Chop and Assemble
With your menu plan by your side, spend the evening preparing food. If you have any involved dishes, like buffalo chicken dip or barbecue meatballs, whip them up and store them in the fridge to cook the next day. If you plan on baking sweet treats, go ahead and get these done now. Squirrel them away until the party to avoid temptation.
The Day Of: Finish and Enjoy
In the morning before the game, take care of any eleventh-hour cleaning, like vacuuming up stray bits and fluffing couch pillows, and get anything into the oven that needs to start cooking. Be sure that your dishwasher and garbage bin are empty to facilitate cleanup after the party, and start setting out bowls of crunchy snacks. Get canned beverages into your cooler at least an hour before the excited guests start arriving. Now get pumped, because the fun is about to begin.
