Members of the South Bend Common Council want an update on the vacant homes project.
They are concerned about the process in which the city is demolishing homes.
They are also afraid about potential health hazards like asbestos.
"There needs to be an open channel of communication, between the council and the administration on all of these issues facing the city but this is a pretty significant issue as I think everybody would agree," says Valerie Schey of the 3rd district.
"When I was at different neighborhood meetings, people started to ask me about it, they questioned about the asbestos and other issues it really made me start thinking about it," says Oliver Davis of the 6th district.
Fox28 talked to Phil Terry from IDEM on Friday and he says testing for asbestos is something cities take seriously during demolition because it's a state and federal requirement.
Contractors are required to walk through homes to identify asbestos, or collect samples and send them out and take care of it.
Terry, Branch Chief of Compliance and Enforcement Branch, says, "The city would have to account for that in any of their bidding, as far as being able to comply with any asbestos requirements."
Earliar this year Mayor Buttigieg vowed to take care of 1000 homes in 1000 days.
Terry couldn't give us numbers, but when asked how costly this all is, he said with 1-thousand homes, it would add up.

Transgender army recruits won't have their feelings hurt in the coming conscription season. Well, hopefully not that much, anyway. Instead of their sexuality being called a "psychological abnormality" or a "gender identity disorder", they will simply be referred to as "Type 2" or "Type 3".
The army has coined the terms to avoid offending transgender people.
Type 2 refers to men who have undergone breast augmentation, while Type 3 comprises people who have had a full sex change.
The army had proposed replacing the term "psychological abnormality" with "gender identity disorder" but had a rethink after fierce criticisms from human rights groups, who were opposed to any term that suggests abnormality.
The Defence Ministry is amending the Conscription Act of 1954, said Thaksin Chiamthong, director of the academic resources division of the Army Reserve Command.
He said the main purpose of the amendment is to correct the part of the law that states transgender people are exempt from conscription because they are considered psychologically abnormal.
"Normally only Type 1 [men whose appearances are typical of men] are required to draw a conscription ballot," said Col Thaksin.
"But if the number of Type 1 is insufficient, Type 2 will be conscripted as well, despite their female-like breasts."
Types 2 and 3 will be required to report for annual conscription for three years before being exempted permanently, he said.
Conscription is scheduled to be conducted from April 1-11.
The armed forces and Defence Ministry need to conscript 97,280 men aged 21 _ an increase of 9,828 from last year.
The army alone needs 73,503 new soldiers for the 15th Infantry Division in Pattani and divisions based in Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen. The navy needs 16,000 conscripts, while the air force wants 6,463, the Supreme Command 833 and the Defence Ministry's permanent secretary's office 481.

In pictures: Hundreds take to streets of Harwich for torch-lit procession
12:00pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News
HUNDREDS of people turned out for a torch-lit procession in the early hours.
Streets across Tendring were plunged into darkness in March, when Essex County Council's part-night lighting scheme was introduced.
Lights are now switched off between midnight and 5am.
But following an arson attack in Dovercourt, where six cars went up in flames, residents organised a protest against the switch-off.
Around 300 campaigners paraded with torches along Main Road, Dovercourt, at midnight lastFriday.
The march was organised by Facebook group, Friends of Harwich.
Chairman Jenny Alderson said: "It was brilliant, there were about 250 to 300 people there all with their torches and wearing high-visibility jackets."

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — Due to a lapse in appropriations that has caused a federal government shutdown, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service facilities and lands are now closed to the public and public use activities have been suspended nationwide.
This includes all national wildlife refuges, waterfowl production areas, national fish hatcheries, fish and wildlife conservation offices, and ecological services offices.
In Indiana the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has closed three national wildlife refuges and one ecological services office, totaling more than 65,000 acres of land.
Wildlife-related recreational activities on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands, such as hunting, fishing, environmental education, or other public events scheduled at any of these facilities are cancelled.
The agency asks that residents delay their plans to visit any of these locations until U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lands and facilities are re-opened.
In the Midwest region of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — which covers the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin — more than 800 employees have been placed in unpaid furlough status and 55 national wildlife refuges, 12 wetland management districts, six national fish hatcheries, and more than 1.2 million acres of federal public lands are closed.


text: In 2011, a video started making the rounds online. It showed a man slicing open the throat of a woman, then walking away as the woman writhes behind him. The video was dismissed as fake and assumed to be an attempt at inciting anti-Chechen sentiment in Russia. But, according to a recent press release issued by Russia's Investigative Committee, the video is real.

Author to speak on surveillance state at BookstockBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | July 26,2013
WOODSTOCK A writer from Pomfret says a coup is going on in America right now as we speak.
According to William Arkin, the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution are eroding in an age of concocted fear and de facto military authority. He will speak about secrecy, surveillance, government law-breaking and more at 4 p.m. Saturday at the fifth annual Bookstock Festival on the green in Woodstock.
Arkin will preview his latest book American Coup: How a Terrified Government Is Destroying the Constitution. The books publisher is Little, Brown and Company and a publication date of Sept. 10 has been set.
Arkin has over 35 years experience in national intelligence issues. He served in Army intelligence in West Berlin during the Cold War and wrote more than a dozen books, including the national best seller Top Secret America with Washington Post reporter Dana Priest.
In American Coup, Arkin says that a group of high-level officials within the national security establishment is undermining the Constitution. Arkin argues that no president in recent history has done anything to stop the abuse of power and that every aspect of civilian life has been militarized by national security programs.
Arkin said he hopes someday Americans will see through the facade and take steps to restore the Constitution.
Its not a conspiracy or a Dick Cheney like cabal. Its not an evil group of people, but more like Wall Street. It doesnt have a leader or a particular geographic location but its the totality of the interests of an interested class ... that every president from Harry Truman to Barack Obama has given them the authority to prepare for major calamities that are assured to occur, Arkin said.
There were several major developments this summer on surveillance, government secrets and whistle-blowing. Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed several classified NSA and British spying programs this spring to Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian.
Snowden leaked espionage activities conducted in foreign countries, telephone data and information on American and British surveillance programs. U.S. government officials claim he broke the law, while many Americans consider Snowden a hero, according to a recent poll by Pew Research Center and USA Today.
Arkin didnt say whether Snowden was a hero, but he is watching all of the latest developments closely and hopes it will not lead to more government power.
Whether he will go for espionage or for harming national security remains to be seen, Arkin said. Its an interesting question because as someone who worked in the field, just because they say something is secret, doesnt mean that it is and just because they really believe a secret was revealed doesnt necessarily mean it did damage to national security. The government still has to prove (Snowden) did damage.
Advance copies of American Coup will not be for sale Saturday, but Arkin said his previous books will be.

At 8:30 a.m. Thanksgiving Day, hundreds of runners and walkers will gather at the starting line for the fourth annual Turkey Stampede footrace.
The event will take place in McNaughton Park, 701 Arcade Ave., Elkhart, which is behind Elkhart General Hospital, and includes a 10K run, 5K run or walk and a 1-mile walk. The 10K course takes a lap around downtown Elkhart, the 5K course makes it way around historic Strong Avenue neighborhood and the 1-mile walk is a walk in the park with a jaunt around a nearby block.
One unique aspect of this race is the menu pricing. Participants can opt to register for any event for $12 before Monday and $15 on site. Anyone who wants to be chip timed will pay an additional $3 and if they want a long-sleeved technical shirt, it will cost an additional $15 (only while supplies last).
In the 5K race, runners can try to Catch the Turkey (also known as Ryan Greutman) to win a $25 prize, payable to the first man and woman who can catch him.
Refreshments are available after the race, and all participants get a participation ribbon, but there is no official awards ceremony.
Mike Perez, development director at Faith Mission, calls it "a family event for a family day. We really enjoy having the community gather for a short time in the morning. We know people need to get back home to their festivities, but it is a great way to start the day. We have so many groups because there is a distance for everyone and it is something fun to do with company and your family."

Your Old School Sports Moment of the Day - 8.8.08
With such a freaky date (8/8/08) I guess I should have found a freaky sports moment. But I didn't want to pass up the chance to show a Peyton Manning clip.
He may be the best at this play I've ever seen. What's my credibility on this subject? Well, you see, um, - OK! You busted me. I'm a phony. My football memory starts with Joe Montana.
Still, Peyton Manning and this play call equals nobody does it better.

Blake Griffin dominated the paint with 20 points, Jamal Crawford scored 25 and the Los Angeles Clippers ended their seven-game road trip with a 114-86 win Monday night over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Darren Collison added 15 points and seven assists in place of Chris Paul for the Clippers, who improved to 9-3 while their star point recovers from a separated shoulder.
Los Angeles finished its trip 5-2, a franchise best for their annual sojourn away from the Staples Center to make way for the Grammy Awards.
No better place these days than Milwaukee to end such a journey. The Bucks, an NBA-worst 8-36, were doomed by a 21-2 run in the second quarter.
Ersan Ilyasova had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Bucks.

Renewable Power Pathways is the result of a study by the National Research Council (NRC) Committee for the Programmatic Review of the Office of Power Technologies (OPT) review of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Power Technologies and its research and development (R&D) programs. The OPT, which is part of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, conducts R&D programs for the production of electricity from renewable energy sources. Some of these programs are focused on photovoltaic, wind, solar, thermal, geothermal, biopower, and hydroelectric energy technologies; others are focused on energy storage, electric transmission (including superconductivity), and hydrogen technologies. A recent modest initiative is focused on distributed power-generation technologies. This report reviews the activities of each of OPT's programs and makes recommendations for OPT as a whole and major recommendations for individual OPT programs.

Defining Worldview
The Bryan Center for Critical Thought & Practice will hold its first symposium of the fall September 25-27, 2005.
Today, a Christian sharing something from Scripture is often met with the response, "Well, that's your truth; I have my own truth." If there is indeed "your truth and my truth," then how can there be anything which can even remotely be called Truth? Honest debate is demanded. Unfortunately, far too many Christians are willing to retreat into their private worship cells to avoid debate. In effect, we say to the world, "you have your view of the world and I have mine. Let's just try to get along."
In his forward to Nancy Pearcey's recent book on this topic (Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity) Philip Johnson writes: "It would be an understatement to say that worldview is an important topic. I would rather say that understanding how worldviews are formed, and how they guide or confine thought, is the essential step to understanding everything else. Put simply, our worldview is the window by which we view the world, and decide, often subconsciously, what is real and important, or unreal and unimportant."
What is "True Truth," not just in the realm of faith but in all things? Facing this issue is the aim of this seminar. Several perspectives, not all in agreement, will be offered and debated. We invite you to be with us and join in the discussion.
- Nancy Pearcey is author of Total Truth: Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity, which in 2005, won the ECPA Gold Medallion Award in the Christianity and Society category. She served as managing editor of the science journal Origins & Design, and as a commentator for Public Square Radio.
- Dr. James Olthius is emeritus professor of philosophy and religion at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto, Canada. His academic work concentrates on philosophical anthropology, hermeneutics, ethics and psychotherapy. He is the author of numerous books and scholarly publications on a variety of subjects, especially philosophical anthropology, postmodern philosophy, hermeneutics and psychotherapy.
- Dr. David Noebel, president of Summit Ministries, is author of Understanding the Times: The Religious Worldviews of Our Day and the Search for Truth, a foundational work in the area of worldview studies. He has been a college president and is a prolific author and public speaker.
- Dr. David Naugle is chair and professor of philosophy at Dallas Baptist University and director of the Paideia College Society the purpose of which is to educate students into their true nature as the image of God. Dr. Naugle serves as a fellow for the Wilberforce Forum, the Christian worldview think tank sponsored by Prison Fellowship in Washington, D.C. He is the author of Worldview: The History of a Concept (Eerdmans 2002),which was selected by Christianity Today as the 2003 book of the year in the theology and ethics category.
- Dr. Paul Boling has served at Bryan College since 1995. He is the chairman of the Christian Studies division and head of the department of Christian Thought and Philosophy. Dr. Boling also teaches in the adult degree completion and MBA programs. He is a member of and contributor to several professional societies and he also serves as the medical ethics consultant at a local hospital. Dr. Boling speaks frequently at conferences and retreats in the area of philosophy, ethics, and biblical truth. Dr. Boling has published numerous book reviews in academic and popular journals, and he is a published musician.

Atlantic City: The New Las Vegas?
Jonathan Kandell
From the Print Edition:
Rudy Giuliani, Nov/Dec 01
(continued from page 1)
Harry usually flies here on a plane chartered by the Taj. But most of the nearly 34 million annual visitors to Atlantic City arrive by ground transportation, about a third of them by bus. These visitors are just plain folks like the widows Dotty and Mary Lou from Brooklyn, who twice a month spend a day here (a three-hour bus trip each way and five hours in the casinos). It's a Tuesday morning when their motor coach, packed with aging blue-collar and barely middle-class men and women of every race, crosses the bridge into New Jersey. For the next two hours, there is silence aboard. But then from the wetlands, a flock of white herons explodes into flight above billboards of Johnny Mathis, Barbara Mandrell and other perennials of the gambling circuit. The towering casinos, incongruously large for a city of 39,000 inhabitants, come into view, and a buzz of excitement stirs the bus for the final 30 minutes as gamblers talk about their favorite slot games and their budgets. "We won't lose more than $50 apiece," says Dotty, 76. "If the money's gone, we'll walk the Boardwalk until it's time to go home." She and Mary Lou play only the slots because they are too intimidated by more experienced players at the card, roulette and craps tables. The bus pulls into Bally's. Instead of a "player development exec," a "greeter" climbs aboard and hands out bonus packets of free-meal slips and coins for the slots.
A quarter-century after New Jersey legalized gambling, Atlantic City is itching to morph into a classier gambling mecca that will attract more Harrys and fewer Dottys and Mary Lous. But the simple reality that Atlantic City already has nearly as high gambling revenues as Las Vegas makes everyone a little nervous, and more than a little protective of the status quo.
"When I tell people this -- even smart businessmen -- they look at me like I'm crazy," says Donald Trump. "So we have to be doing something right."
But Las Vegas, as Trump well knows, makes almost half of its total revenues in nongambling operations -- hotels, food and beverage, entertainment and shopping -- while the comparable figure for Atlantic City is only 20 percent. "We have to redesign ourselves like Las Vegas did and become more of a destination resort," says Speros A. Batistatos, president and chief executive officer of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. That means many more hotel rooms, activities that can attract nongambling family members, and a lot more flights into Atlantic City's vastly underused airport. It also means overcoming a deep-seated image problem as a second-rate town. "If there were a slogan for Atlantic City," says Jason Ader, a gaming, lodging and leisure industry analyst for Bear, Stearns & Co., "it might be the words of comedian Rodney Dangerfield: ëI don't get no respect.'"
It is in light of Atlantic City's tremendous desire to be taken seriously as an eventual Vegas-style destination resort that the campaign mounted by casino operators and other boosters can best be understood. Decayed housing and similar signs of urban blight have been demolished and replaced with $200 million in new, publicly subsidized residences and green spaces. The entrance to the city has had an $85 million makeover so that visitors are now welcomed by waterfalls and fountains and a 90-foot-tall laser lighthouse. A $268 million convention center, second in size only to New York's Jacob Javits Center in the Northeast, opened four years ago. And this past July a $330 million tunnel was opened, considerably easing traffic flows.
In terms of private investment, the most visible evidence of a new era will be The Borgata, a casino resort jointly owned by Boyd Gaming and MGM Mirage that is scheduled to open in the summer of 2003. The Borgata hopes that it will attract more upscale players than the usual Atlantic City casino resort. "We did a lot of market research and focus groups," says Boughner, The Borgata's boss. "What we heard at all levels was that people wanted to trade up." They wanted more hotel rooms, better meals and shows, even luxury goods stores -- in short, something to do in Atlantic City besides gamble.
The public clamor, apparently, was so great that The Borgata redrew its blueprint, almost doubling its hotel space to 2,010 guest rooms, raising a rose bronze, 40-story tower and fitting in 11 restaurants, a spa, boutiques and three acres of gambling space. Even before ground was broken, The Borgata -- which means "hamlet" in Italian -- had outgrown its name and its original Tuscan village theme. "We now see its design as a juxtaposition of traditional Tuscany and modern Milan," says Boughner, who has hung a framed motto on the corridor wall outside his office that reads: "The chief enemy of creativity is 'good taste.' "
Boughner, a brawny 48-year-old New Yorker who headed to Las Vegas as a teenager and stayed, talks with the MBA vocabulary that casino operators affect nowadays. When he remembers the magic moment that persuaded him to become a casino executive -- the very first time he emptied the slot machines at a Vegas hotel -- he makes it sound like an accounting experience: "I could see the economics of this business was pretty compelling." To explain why Atlantic City casinos must be prepared to invest money in classier boutiques, restaurants and entertainment, even though returns from these luxury businesses will be less than those from gambling, Boughner uses the analogy of a supermarket. "Snack foods provide the highest profit margins and the butcher section the lowest," he says. "But unless you deliver the entire retail experience, you risk losing customers. If you don't offer sirloin, you won't get a chance to sell the Doritos."
Perhaps because he has seen cycles of growth and stagnation in Las Vegas, Boughner views the desert casino capital as something less than an infallible model for Atlantic City. He thinks the image of Vegas as a family destination is overblown. The amusements and nurseries created for young children are gone or going. "Strollers and rollers don't mix very well," he says. Rather than repeat Vegas's mistakes, he believes that Atlantic City should aim for a different family clientele -- baby boomers who will invite their aging parents for a two-day gambling and spa experience at a place like The Borgata.
For a long time, Trump was The Borgata's personal nemesis. For two years, his lawsuits delayed the tunnel project on which The Borgata's construction was predicated. Trump claimed he opposed the spending of municipal and state money on a project that would directly benefit a casino -- an interesting piece of reasoning since his own three casinos along with those of other operators have long benefited from tax breaks and public projects. Probably a stronger motivation for Trump was that his arch rival, Steve Wynn, the Vegas casino king who was planning a Mirage resort called Le Jardin Palais next to The Borgata, would have been the prime beneficiary of the tunnel. Also, Trump's casinos are burdened with so much debt -- $1.7 billion in junk bonds and other high-interest loans -- that after debt service little is left over from gambling revenues to carry out the expansions necessary to compete with amenities offered by The Borgata or the casino resort Wynn had in mind.

CATEGORIES MoviesThere were many a meme fashioned in honor of movie-crushing powerhouse "The Hunger Games" (including name and -- the more macabre -- death generators). But if that didn't make you feel like a real tribute, this surely will: Now you can actually buy a Panem district.
District 12, the fictional birthplace of heroine Katniss Everdeen, was filmed in Henry River, an abandon mill town in North Carolina. (All of "The Hunger Games" was filmed in the state -- Charlotte served as the film's luxurious capitol.)
The movie's success has brought hungry fans near and far to take a peek around Katniss, Peeta and Gale's old stomping grounds -- spawning promotional events like "Walk Like a Katniss Everdeen" and "The Capitol Experience." Unfortunately, Wade Shepherd, the town's 83-year-old owner, is less than thrilled about its spike in tourism, and is ready to put the place on the market.
"I'm getting too many visitors," he told the Associated Press. "Day and night, they're driving through, taking pictures, getting out and walking. I'm just bombarded with people."
Shepherd is hoping to get rid of the newly-populated ghost town for a mere $1.4 million. (Chump change compared with "The Hunger Games" earnings, which brought in over 180 times that amount.)
No word on whether or not Greasy Sae will be setting up shop.

(FOX 11 / CNS) A 64-year-old man sitting in a parked car with his wife and child in an unincorporated area near Santa Fe Springs was shot in a forearm today by a gunman in a ski mask who robbed the three of $14, a sheriff's lieutenant said.
The shooting and robbery took place in the 11500 block of Perkins Avenue near Norwalk Boulevard in unincorporated Los Nietos Junction around 1 a.m., said Lt. Andrew Meyer of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Pico Rivera Station. Deputies who went to the location in response to a shooting report were told a man in a black ski mask approached the vehicle, demanded cash and shot the man sitting in the driver's seat in his right forearm, Meyer said.
The three victims then handed over their cash and the suspect fled on foot, heading east on Perkins and out of view, he said. The gunshot victim was taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition, Meyer said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Celebrity zookeeper Jack Hanna criticized Ohio lawmakers Thursday for not yet passing a bill to regulate exotic animals, months after authorities shot nearly dozens of lions, tigers, bears and other wild creatures let loose by their suicidal owner.
A Republican state senator from Zanesville, the eastern Ohio city where the animals were shot, had planned to introduce a bill this week but then said it was not ready. There is no new timetable for the measure.
"What's it going to take, everyone, to pass a bill? Someone else getting killed?" Hanna said during his remarks to an Ohio newspaper trade group.
Hanna, a former Columbus Zoo director who has given animal demonstrations on national television for decades, said he can't believe legislation hasn't progressed.
"In fact, I'm actually in a state of shock right now because, folks, you're not dealing with some little issue of animals here. You're dealing with bombs," Hanna told members of the Ohio Newspaper Association at their convention in Columbus.
Hanna said he has no power over the Ohio Legislature and isn't running for office. But he said he has seen a tiger finish off a 2,000-pound water buffalo in less than 10 seconds and lions take down even larger animals in less than 30 seconds.
"You probably don't want to witness it," he said.
Ohio has some of the nation's weakest restrictions on exotic pets. Efforts to strengthen the state's law took on new urgency in October when authorities were forced to hunt down and kill 48 wild animals -- including endangered Bengal tigers -- after their owner freed them from his Zanesville farm and then committed suicide.
In August 2010, a bear attacked and killed a caretaker during a feeding at the home of a man who also kept wolves and tigers on property near Cleveland.
State Sen. Troy Balderson, of Zanesville, had sent a letter last Friday to state lawmakers, asking them to sign on to his bill.
He included some details about future regulations in his letter. For instance, the measure would immediately ban people from acquiring additional exotic animals. Zoo, circuses, sanctuaries and research facilities would be exempt.
Owners of lions, tigers and other large animals, such as elephants and crocodiles, would be banned in 2014 from keeping the creatures unless they applied to be a "private shelter" and met new caging requirements and care standards.
But on Tuesday, Balderson said the bill needed more work.
"Since the day of the tragic events in Zanesville, I have been consistent in saying that legislating on a knee-jerk reaction is unwise," Balderson said in a statement. "We are not as far along in the drafting process as we had originally intended to be at this time."
Balderson's proposal is less strict than a framework suggested last year by a state study committee and state agencies.
The group had recommended a more stringent ban on the casual ownership of exotic animals. Those who still owned restricted wildlife -- such as bears, monkeys and others -- in 2014 without proper licenses or exemptions would have the animals taken away by state or local officials.
Hanna said that on his travels around the world, he has frequently been asked whether the laws have been changed in Ohio as a result of the Zanesville hunt.
"This is an international issue," he said. "The world is waiting for what the law will be."

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

While most of the NFL world found themselves entranced by James Harrison expressing his touchy-feely side when addressing the media officially for the first time as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals, eventually someone had to go and toss salt in what was supposed to be an old wound.
Evidently, it does still sting a little bit.
Harrison: 'I understand it's a business... but to say [the Steelers not re-signing me] doesn't motivate me would be a lie.'— NFL Network (@nflnetwork) May 14, 2013
Once the Pittsburgh Steelers released him after he refused to renegotiate his contract to a 30 percent decrease, Harrison's agent tried to shop the player to every team. The only sincere suitors came from his former team's division rivals. After failing to squeeze an offer out of the Baltimore Ravens, the Bengals decided to take a look. They must have liked what they saw, because he will be a starting member of their defense in 2013.
Most people took his tour of the AFC North as an intentional jab at his former team, as confirmation of comments out of Cincinnati which claimed Harrison hated his former employer. Harrison spoke for himself soon after, to deny such hatred; and even now, he recognized the business aspect of the situation, but acknowledges it does burn at him still.
As if the Bengals and Steelers needed any added motivation during their contests, Harrison will be looking to make his former team pay for not paying.

May I ask how many children do you have? JoI have 13 children ranging from my oldest daughter (about to be 35 tomorrow) down to my youngest who just turned 12. (I will answer the question before it is asked. They are all from the same husband and we will be married 36 years in Oct.) Someone once commented to me that I must have seen it all. My reply was that I prayed everyday that I would NOT see it all. One of my greatest fears was, and still is, losing one of my children and now I have my grandchildren to worry about also.

NINA SHEA: White House to aid Islamic states defy free speech

WASHINGTON (BP) -- An unprecedented collaboration between the Obama administration and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC, formerly called the Organization of the Islamic Conference) to combat "Islamophobia" may lead to the de-legitimization of freedom of expression as a human right.
The administration is taking the lead in an international effort to "implement" a U.N. resolution against religious "stereotyping," specifically as applied to Islam.
To be sure, the administration argues that the effort should not result in free-speech curbs. However, its partners in the collaboration, the 56 member states of the OIC, have no such qualms.
Many OIC states police private speech through Islamic blasphemy laws that the Saudi-based OIC has long worked to see applied universally. Under Muslim pressure, Western Europe now has laws against religious hate speech that serve as proxies for Islamic blasphemy codes.
Last March, U.S. diplomats maneuvered the adoption of Resolution 16/18 within the U.N. Human Rights Council (HRC). Non-binding, this resolution expresses, among other things, concern about religious "stereotyping" and "negative profiling" but does not limit free speech. It was intended to -- and did -- replace the OIC's decidedly dangerous resolution against "defamation of religions," which protected religious institutions instead of individual freedoms.
But thanks to a puzzling U.S. diplomatic initiative that was unveiled in July, Resolution 16/18 is poised to become a springboard for a greatly reinvigorated international effort to criminalize speech against Islam, the very thing it was designed to quash.
Citing a need to "move to implementation" of Resolution 16/18, the Obama administration has inexplicably decided to launch a major international effort against Islamophobia in partnership with the OIC. This is being voluntarily assumed at American expense, outside the U.N. framework, and is not required by the resolution itself.
On July 15, a few days after the Norway massacre, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton co-chaired an OIC session in Istanbul on religious intolerance. It was there that she announced the initiative, inviting the OIC member-states' foreign ministers and representatives to an inaugural meeting of the effort to be hosted by the U.S. government this fall in Washington. She envisions it as the first in a series of meetings to decide how best to implement Resolution 16/18.
In making the announcement, Clinton was firm in asserting that the U.S. does not want to see speech restrictions: "The resolution calls upon states to 'counter offensive expression through education, interfaith dialogue, and public debate ... but not to criminalize speech unless there is an incitement to imminent violence.'" (This is the First Amendment standard set forth in the 1969 Supreme Court case of Brandenburg v. Ohio.)
With the United States providing this new world stage for presenting grievances of "Islamophobia" against the West, the OIC rallied around the initiative as the propaganda windfall that it is. The OIC promptly reasserted its demands for global blasphemy laws, once again sounding the call of its failed U.N. campaign for international laws against the so-called defamation of Islam. It has made plain its aim to use the upcoming conference to further pressure Western governments to regulate speech on behalf of Islam.
The OIC's understanding of the upcoming meetings, as stated in the Saudi-based International Islamic News Agency, is that they will "aim at developing a legal basis for the U.N. Human Rights Council's resolution which [will] help in enacting domestic laws for the countries involved in the issue, as well as formulating international laws preventing inciting hatred resulting from the continued defamation of religions."
In an August 17 op-ed on the initiative, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu was enthusiastic. He expressed concern that "anti-Islam and anti-Muslim attitudes and activities, known as Islamophobia, are increasingly finding place in the agenda of ultra-right wing political parties and civil societies in the West in their anti-immigrant and anti-multiculturalism policies," and that "their views are being promoted under the banner of freedom of expression." This parallels the old Soviet-bloc attack on the First Amendment as an official sanctioning of racism.
Citing a familiar litany of examples -- "the publication of offensive cartoons of the Prophet six years ago that sparked outrage across the Muslim world, the publicity around the film 'Fitna' and the more recent Qur'an burnings" - Ihsanoglu was emphatic that "no one has the right to insult another for their beliefs or to incite hatred and prejudice" and that "freedom of expression has to be exercised with responsibility."
In a separate OIC news report, Ihsanoglu raised the stakes further. He warned against the "institutionalization of the phenomenon of Islamophobia through the involvement of the European extreme right in government institutions and political action."
Ambassador Zamir Akram, Pakistan's permanent representative on behalf of the OIC to the U.N. Human Rights Council, commented regarding the initiative that the OIC would not compromise on "anything against the Quran, anything against the Prophet and anything against the Muslim community in terms of discrimination."
As for reciprocity -- for example, reforming the Saudi national curriculum that continues to teach students to "kill" Jews, "fight" polytheists, view Christians as "enemies" and spread Islam through "jihad" -- there probably won't be any.
This initiative is shaping up to be one-sided. As Akram said, "The Resolution 16/18 was driven more by the kind of discrimination in Europe and the West in general against Muslims." He added: "I don't think any country in the Muslim world is deliberately discriminating against minorities." Ihsanoglu took a similar tack, writing that "the Islamic faith is based on tolerance and acceptance of other religions. It does not condone discrimination of human beings on the basis of caste, creed, color, or faith." (In his op-ed, Ihsanoglu also declared that "the OIC has never sought to limit freedom of expression.")
Having won the latest round in the ideological contest for individual rights and freedoms at the United Nations this past March, the administration is now gratuitously establishing a new "transnational" forum to essentially re-litigate the matter with a body that is openly hostile to such freedoms. This forum's agenda is to be structured so that freedom of expression will be put on trial and inevitably condemned by most forum participants as, itself, a human rights violation. In raising OIC expectations that "anti-Islam and anti-Muslim attitudes" will be dealt with under soon-to-be-drafted "implementation" procedures, the administration is riding a tiger.
In his 2009 Cairo speech, President Obama said, "I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam whenever they appear." There are a number of problems with this statement: One is that it encourages the diplomatic folly that is this conference.
Nina Shea is director of the Hudson Institute's Center on Religious Freedom and a member of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. She is the co-author with Paul Marshall of the forthcoming "Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes are Choking Freedoms Worldwide" (Oxford University Press).

When I saw Marion Cotillard on the red carpet this evening for the 2013 Critics' Choice Movie Awards held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, my first reaction was, "the spell is broken".
Childish I know, but I'm excited to finally see her in something other than Dior and especially Zuhair Murad Couture.
Her Fall 2012 black lace A-line dress featuring floral beaded appliqué and an open back is the most playful I've seen Marion in a long time.
I'm sure you will agree that her spark, that many of us were missing, is finally back.
As you would expect from Marion, her styling was impeccable with nude accessories including Jimmy Choo 'Tahi' sandals plus she dazzled in Chopard jewels.
A side parted bun and neutral makeup completed her look.
Needless to say she is my favourite so far.

Farrakhan condemns war on Libya
by Amadi Ajamu
Brief statements were also given by Viola Plummer of the December 12th Movement, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney speaking from Libya via telephone, and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
Minister Farrakhan began: "I am here to discuss the current state of affairs in Libya and the actions taken by the U.N. with respect to Security Council Resolution 1973, passed on March 17, 2011. I am addressing my remarks to the U.N. and all of those who have joined to destroy Brother Leader Col. Muammar Qaddafi and the Libyan Jamahiriya": namely the U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Italy and Germany, including also China and Russia, who abstained.
Demanding the justification for such an action, Minister Farrakhan said, "If the Security Council passed Resolution 1973 to protect the people of Libya from the so called 'evil intentions' of the leader … Why then is NATO now using Resolution 1973 as a pretext to assassinate Muammar Qaddafi and create regime change?" Minister Farrakhan questioned the U.N.'s fostering of armed rebellion and civil war and not humanitarian concerns.
"They say that he [Qaddafi] has lost the moral authority to lead because he has killed his own people. But they have not proved that charge," he said.
He then compared their historic record of murder throughout the world by Western nations to the record of Libya. He cited America's decimation of the indigenous people of the U.S., the transatlantic slave trade, atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the war on Iraq based on lies causing the death of thousands of U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousand Iraqis, and England's abuse of the people of Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and all the places that they ruled.
"They say that he [Qaddafi] has lost the moral authority to lead because he has killed his own people. But they have not proved that charge," he said.
Minister Farrakhan then compared the conditions of the people of Libya to the people of the West, particularly the U.S.'s poverty, homelessness, lack of health care, decaying infrastructure, crime and illiteracy, which are virtually unknown to the Libyan people. The massive profits from their nationalized oil reserves are shared with the people. Development of the country has been phenomenal under the leadership of Col. Qaddafi. They transformed the desert into farmland through massive irrigation projects. While the people of the U.S. are burdened with a $62 trillion national debt, Libya is debt free.
Further, "NATO and America are trying to recolonize Africa through AFRICOM (African Command). My question to African leaders is, will you allow it? Out of fear of the so-called power of the West: Will you bow down and act against the interests of African people worldwide?"
"Look at the arrogance of Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state, speaking in Addis Ababa, the capital of the African Union. That's some gall, to go right to us and tell us like children what she wants us to do."
"My question to African leaders is, will you allow it? Out of fear of the so-called power of the West: Will you bow down and act against the interests of African people worldwide?"
Minister Farrakhan then quoted Clinton's speech: "It is true over many years Qaddafi played a major role in providing financial support for many African nations and institutions including the African Union."
Col. Qaddafi has been a principal advocate and organizer for a United States of Africa.
Clinton continued, "But it becomes clearer by the day that he has lost his legitimacy to rule and we are long past a time where [Qaddafi] can and should remain in power." Clinton urged them to "call for a genuine cease-fire and call for Qaddafi to step aside." Further, Clinton urged them to suspend operations of Qaddafi's embassies in their countries, expel all pro-Qaddafi diplomats and increase support for the Transitional National Council.
Some African leaders have condemned NATO's war on Libya and their aggressive attempt at regime change at any cost, including assassination.
Farrakhan said, "The West fears an African Union. It threatens the international power structure."
A member of the press asked what we could do. Minister Farrakhan reiterated the plans laid out by Viola Plummer, who called for a Harlem Millions March against the attack on Africa (Libya and Zimbabwe) and Bloomberg's attack on Black people in New York City. The march will take place on Saturday, Aug. 13, in Harlem.
Minister Farrakhan gave his full support to the march and explained the "importance of Black people in the U.S. exerting their collective influence over U.S. policy during this election year. Black elected officials, including President Barack Obama, must be held accountable and we must push them to stand up in the interest of African people worldwide."
For more information on the upcoming Harlem Million March to end the bombing of Libya, illegal sanctions in Zimbabwe, and Bloomberg's destruction of education, housing and health care, call (718) 398-1766.

We Asian agents are wondering that there is still an charismatic, honest and critical leader in the US. Buddha bless Farrakhan and the Nation Of Islam. Stand strong… We get ready!↓

Were congress to capitulate to Obama's flagrant violation of the war powers act, this might just be the last time they are able to.
America is not only killing its own people, the American government and its Zionist Jews have swindled millions of Americans out of their homes. Millions of Americans are living on the street, in their cars, or with relatives. America also has the largest unemployment rate of its citizens.
More and more Americans are now worshipping satan, and the crime rate is out of control in America.↓

The world looks at American both Black and White and despair that you are such crazy devils. Your so called leaders are leading the religious sheep to disappointment. Your leaders meanwhile live in luxury. LEARN UP MAN UP. The leaders what to divide and conquer as it aid their bank balance. They tell to hate "others" but they are making dollars from you. Visit the world and check yourselves.↓
Do you think they'll have to declare bankruptcy? I really hope not, for their sake. It would be really difficult, don't you think? I'll have to ask my friends at http://www.bankruptcyalberta.com↓
