9/11 First Responder Gets Street Name After Him
There were countless heroes that day. Hundreds of police officers and firefighters sacrificed their lives on that horrible morning. But one first responder was singled out.
Why? Was he more courageous than the others? Did he save more lives? No doubt, he should be honored with all the others who died on 9/11. They all deserve recognition.
But in this case, it appears the only exception is that he was a Muslim.
Endless concessions and accommodations to Islamic demands only give way to more. Not to rain on anyone's proselytizing parade, but why this guy? Why does this first responder get a street named after him? Because hes a Muslim? What about the other hundreds of first responders who died that day? Why dont they have streets named after them?
Is it because Mohammed Salman Hamdani is a unicorn? Is it really so extraordinary that a Muslim helped people that he gets singled out? Why is his sacrifice greater than that of all the other first responders who were killed?
Apparently New York City thinks so. And so does the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
I'm all for honoring first responders, Hamdani included. But none should be singled out for special recognition simply because of their religion.

NY Imam OUTRAGED By 9/11
Swiping title from TROP...
A New York Imam is outraged by 9/11. Not by the terrorist attacks, but by a museum video that has the audacity to suggest the attacks were carried out by Muslims waging jihad.
A prominent Muslim cleric is ripping the 9/11 Memorial Museum for planning to show visitors a short film on terrorists that will "greatly offend" members of his faith. [...]
After attending a screening of the film - "The Rise of Al Qaeda" - the religious leader objected to how it called the terrorists "Islamists" and described their killer mission as "jihad."
How about greatly offending the victims of 9/11 by whitewashing the ideology of the attackers? Let's hope the museum doesn't cave to this political correctness.
In related news, Sharon Otterman of the New York Times reached out to Robert Spencer for his take on the terminology used in the short video. Spencer wrote:
It is not the museum's job either to indict or exonerate Islam. They should not go out of their way to depict Muslims mourning 9/11, unless it is part of a presentation showing all kinds of people mourning 9/11. The museum's job is to depict the events of 9/11 accurately. That is all. The idea that it has to show Muslims positively in order to offset the effects of showing what happened on that day is as absurd as saying that a museum about the Civil War should have a wing about how nice some Southern slaveowners were to their slaves, to offset anti-Southern feeling arising from the institution of slavery.
As for "militant jihadist" or "militant/radical Islamist," these are absurd formulations that reassure jittery multiculturalists that Islam is really a religion of peace at heart, no matter what jihad terrorists do in the name of Islam. They arise as a response to the quite successful campaign by Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations to tar any opposition to jihad terror as "hate," "bigotry" and even "racism." The museum should call the jihadis of 9/11 what they called themselves: jihadis. Mujahideen. Warriors in the cause of Islam.
Of course, the NYT article does not quote any Spencer's words. In fact, the NYT's article concludes with this ridiculous statement:
"What helps me sleep at night is I believe that the average visitor who comes through this museum will in no way leave this museum with the belief that the religion of Islam is responsible for what happened on 9/11," said [Joseph C.] Daniels, the president of the museum foundation. "We have gone out of the way to tell the truth."
If the museum leaves the impression that Islam was not, in any way, responsible for the events of 9/11, then the museum has failed. It has failed in presenting the truth, it has failed in informing visitors of the facts, and it has failed in honoring those who died as a result of the Islamic terrorist attacks.

Video: 9/11 Bikers Head For DC
Despite being denied a no-stop permit, thousands of bikers are riding through DC to show support for the victims of 9/11, and to counter the truly distasteful and insulting Muslim rally, which is gathering on this sacred day to protest the treatment of Muslims since 19 Muslims flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field in 2001.
It's Time for a Select Committee on Benghazi - Here's How to Make it Happen
On September 11, 2012, one year ago today, the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi was attacked by a heavily-armed group of 125-150 gunmen, whose trucks allegedly bore the logo of Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamic militant group. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Information Officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty were killed during a series of raids, commencing at nightfall and continuing for over eight hours through the next morning. At the time of the attack, dozens of federal employees were on the ground in Benghazi. To date, most of these eyewitnesses have been kept away from investigators by the Obama Administration.
It is now a year after the terrorist attack that took four American lives at Benghazi. A year later, and after numerous part-time investigations, the American people are today faced with more questions than answers. This is partly due to successful stonewalling effort by the Administration, but half-hearted efforts by congressional leaders are aiding and abetting.
In an effort to find answers, a coalition of over one million Americans, 1,000 special forces veterans and nearly 170 members of Congress has publicly backed a move to establish a House Select Committee on Benghazi, which would be a full-time committee focused on this one issue.
Unfortunately, the bill by Rep. Frank Wolf to create the Select Committee (HR 36) co-sponsored by nearly 170 House Republicans, has been bottled up in committee by House Rules Chairman Pete Sessions of Dallas, who steadfastly refuses allow a floor debate or vote on the proposal. Challenged by constituents, Rep. Sessions has indicated that he doesn't personally believe a House Select Committee investigation is necessary or worthwhile, and thus feels justified in bottling up the bill and preventing a floor debate. He also claims (oddly) that Senator Harry Reid would somehow control a House committee investigation.
Many Americans, including many of his own constituents, disagree with Rep. Sessions. It's been over a year since the attacks, and the families of Stevens, Smith, Doherty and Woods deserve real answers as to why their loved ones died.
A few key questions:
Although Ambassador Stevens was officially operating in a diplomatic capacity in Libya, the mission in Benghazi is still not fully understood at this time, and may never be known. There are credible allegations that Stevens and other operatives at the Benghazi installation were arranging the transfer of anti-aircraft weapons to Islamic militant groups fighting in Syria against the regime of Bashar Al-Assad. This has not, however, been officially acknowledged.
The various investigations to date have been unable to determine with any certainty what the mission was at Benghazi, why Ansar al-Sharia found it a useful target and what assets, if any, were secured by the militants during the attack. The American people deserve answers to these questions.
We know that in the months leading up to the September 11, 2012 attacks, Benghazi had become a hotbed of violence. At least a dozen violent events had taken place in Benghazi between April and September, 2012. According to reports, over 200 security incidents took place in Libya between June 2011 and July 2012, a quarter of which took place in and around Benghazi.
Well prior to the Benghazi attacks, State Department officials in Libya made repeated requests for additional security. These requests were denied in Washington despite ample documentation of the threat posed by violent extremist militias. As an example, on March 28, 2012, Ambassador Cretz sent a cable from Tripoli to Secretary Clinton requesting additional security assets in Libya. On April 19, 2012, the response cable from the Department of State to Embassy Tripoli, bearing Secretary Clinton's signature, acknowledges Ambassador Cretz's request for additional security but instead articulates a plan to scale back security assets for the U.S. Mission in Libya, including the Benghazi Mission.
On June 7, 2012, Ambassador Stevens asked the State Department to keep the two security teams the Clinton April cable ordered removed from Libya. This request is denied. On July 6, 2012, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Lamb strongly asserted that Stevens should not make a formal request for an extension of the security teams. On July 9, 2012, Ambassador Stevens responded with a cable that stressed that the security conditions in Libya had not met the requisite benchmarks established by the State Department and the U.S. Mission in Libya to warrant initiating a security drawdown. He requested that a sufficient number of security personnel be permitted to stay.
According to reports, a Benghazi security official and a battalion commander had met with U.S. diplomats three days before the attack and had warned the Americans about deteriorating security in the area. The diplomats had been advised, "The situation is frightening, it scares us." Stevens' diary entries from the time expressed his concern about the growing al-Qaeda presence in the area and his worry about being on an al-Qaeda hit list.
To date, the various investigations have been unable to determine why the repeated requests for improved security were denied and why the Benghazi installation was left virtually defenseless. The families deserve answers.
According to reports, the attackers entered the compound around 9:40 pm under a barrage of automatic weapons fire and RPGs, backed by truck-mounted artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns. Phone calls were apparently made to the embassy in Tripoli, the Diplomatic Security Command Center in Washington and a U.S. Quick Reaction Force located at a an annex just over a mile away. Ambassador Stevens telephoned Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks in Tripoli multiple times to tell him the consulate was under attack, but his initial calls went unanswered.
Security agents informed their headquarters in Washington about the attack soon after it began. Approximately an hour later, Pentagon officials informed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta about the attack. Apparently, one or more surveillance drones were deployed, which arrived over the mission beginning at 11:10 pm local time (5:10 pm Eastern Time) to provide a video feed to Washington. At approximately 5:41 pm Eastern Time (11:41 local time,) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton telephoned CIA Director David Petraeus to confer on the attack. At this point, the attack on Benghazi had been underway for approximately two hours.
It is not known what Barack Obama was told during this period, what orders, if any, Obama gave, or whether his orders were carried out.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of the small response team at the CIA annex, approximately a mile from the compound where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team were under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they requested permission to go to the main compound, but were told to "stand down," according to sources. Woods and at least two others ignored those orders and made their way to the main compound, which at that point was on fire.
Upon learning of the attack at Benghazi, another team of Americans in Tripoli, including former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, decided to travel there to respond to the attack and hopefully rescue the besieged Amercians. In order to travel to Benghazi, they commandeered a small private jet in Tripoli and paid the pilots to fly them to Benghazi. After being held up at the airport for several hours, the team arrived at the CIA annex around 5:00am. Upon arrival, Doherty began searching for his friend and former Navy SEAL Tyrone S. Woods. He found Woods on the roof of the annex manning a MK46 machine gun with two other agents. Doherty and Woods subsequently came under intense mortar fire from the terrorists. During this barrage, a mortar round hit Woods' position, fatally wounding him. A second round fell on Doherty, killing him instantly.
Despite the fact that the attacks on the main compound and annex went on for over eight hours, there was not, at any time, any official military response to the militant attack on the main compound. To date, none of the various investigations have determined who in the chain of command was giving the orders during the attack, including the alleged "stand down" orders.
Again, we still do not know, over a year later, what Obama knew about the Benghazi attack, when he knew it, what orders he gave, or whether his orders were faithfully carried out. The families deserve answers to these questions.
After the attacks, the Administration perpetuated a deliberately misleading and incomplete narrative that the violence grew out of a demonstration caused by a YouTube video. The Administration consciously decided not to discuss extremist involvement or previous attacks against Western interests in Benghazi.
It is now well-known and acknowledged that the attack on Benghazi was a preplanned terrorist attack and not a spontaneous event in response to an online video. It is also well-known that there was no reason whatsoever for Barack Obama or any member of the Administration to believe, at any time after September 11, that the attack on Benghazi was some spontaneous event in response to an online video. What is not known or understood is why President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, White House Spokesman Jay Carney, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and others were provided talking points identifying the controversial video as the cause of the attack. None of the various investigations have determined how this false narrative came to be the official story line distributed by the Administration.
The Administration's response to the attack was to announce that the FBI would conduct an investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice. A year after the attack on Benghazi, not a single arrest has been made by the FBI in connection with the attack.
The families of Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty deserve answers to these questions--and so do the American people.
It's time for a House Select Committee.
If you agree, please contact Rules Chairman Pete Sessions and tell him:

Iconic Photo Nearly Excluded From 9/11 Memorial Museum - Too "Rah-Rah America"
(Too American For 9/11 Memorial Museum's Director)
The museum's director is so liberal and anti-American, he says the way America would look best is to not look American at all (emphasis mine):
This iconic picture of firefighters raising the stars and stripes in the rubble of Ground Zero was nearly excluded from the 9/11 Memorial Museum because it was "rah-rah" American, a new book says.
Michael Shulan, the museums creative director, was among staffers who considered the Tom Franklin photograph too kitschy and "rah-rah America," according to "Battle for Ground Zero" (St. Martins Press) by Elizabeth Greenspan, out next month.
"I really believe that the way America will look best, the way we can really do best, is to not be Americans so vigilantly and so vehemently," Shulan said.
The photograph was eventually included, but only in a minimized capacity among other less iconic pictures.

NYPD: Landing Gear From 9/11 Plane Found 'Wedged' Behind Ground Zero Mosque Site
Police Say Boeing ID Is Clearly Visible On Aircraft Part; Scene Being Secured.So ironic the part was found there.
Police said it was discovered wedged between the rear of 51 Park Place and the rear of the building behind it, 50 Murray Street, in lower Manhattan. That area is the site of a controversial mosque and community center development, which currently used as prayer space and some community events[...]
The NYPD was securing the location as it would a crime scene, documenting it photographically and restricting access until the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner completes its health and safety evaluation protocol.
After that, a decision will be made concerning sifting the soil for possible human remains.[More...]

Judge Throws Out Case To Remove World Trade Center Cross
From Breitbart:
A U.S. District judge has thrown out a lawsuit, brought by an atheist group that hoped to prevent the display of a cross-shaped steel beam found in the rubble at the site of the World Trade Center.
The Associated Press reports that Judge Deborah Batts, in a ruling released on Friday, rejected the arguments of American Atheists, saying that the artifact could help tell the story of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The atheists organization sued the National September 11 Memorial & Museums operators in 2011 on constitutional grounds, arguing that the display of the 17-foot-tall cross constitutes an endorsement of Christianity and thus lessens the contributions of non-Christian rescuers.

3rd Debate: Did Obama Slam The Horse Soldiers of 9/11?
In Obama's attempt to paint Romney as old and out of touch he showed just how out of touch he is with military tech.
When Romneyaccused the president of cutting back on military spending by noting the U.S. Navy had fewer ships today than in World War I, Obama shot back: "Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed."The DNC in return shows how out of touch they are by being so proud of Obama's out of touchiness with this video:
He also said in an almost derisive tone, "We also have things called aircraft carriers that planes land on and
submarines[no ABC he said "ships"] that go under water."
Secret Mission: The Horse Soldiers of 911:
A statue of a member of the U.S. Special Forces on horseback was just unveiled at Ground Zero in New York City. When our Special Forces invaded Afghanistan post-9/11, many did so on horseback. I personally remember sitting for a lecture in Austin, TX in 2005, given by a member of one of the first Special Forces teams to arrive in Afghanistan. He talked at length about their reliance upon horses.Our Marines still train with bayonets
While the Army discontinued traditional bayonet training in 2010, the USMC still trains Marines with bayonets and issues them as standard equipment. The Army has also begun training soldiers in a different style of bayonet use--not affixed to the end of a rifle but as a secondary melee weapon.Mr President, you FAILED at honoring our military with those comments.

Brandon Web Navy SEAL Chris Hagerman @SOFREP: September 11, 2001 - My Story
Read it all, including comments
As the month of September comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on the events of September 11, 2001. So many things changed for America that day. Over a period of two hours, most of us watched as the World Trade Towers were turned into a pile of steel and burning debris, a major section of the Pentagon was reduced to rubble, and American Airlines Flight 93 plummeted to the earth. America was in a state of shock; most people were glued to their televisions or listened to their radios as the events unfolded. Every one of us remembers what we were doing during that horrific time, and I, like others, often reflect back on that day to remind myself who we are fighting and why.I remember the attack as clear today as when it happened 11years ago.
This day unified America, though sadly, only for a short period of time. Some were motivated to join the military to answer the call of duty, or were inspired by the bravery of our New York City firefighters, police officers, and emergency service personnel and join their ranks. There were many of us who had to answer all of the questions of our children those innocent faces who asked, Why?. Our world changed forever.
Our country was rocked to the core that clear, sunny morning and I felt our loss deeply. That cowardly attack was an attack on my heart and soul. Those who died that day were my countrymen, my brothers and sisters every one of them. Each of us experienced that day a different way, but what was amazing to me is that despite all of our differences, we stood strong and united as Americans. This is my story of that day.
I will never forget - I will never forgive

MEMRI: Testing YouTube's 'Promotes Terrorism' Flagging Feature For Videos Of Osama Bin Laden, 9/11, Al-Qaeda The Results: 58 Of 100 Remain Active
Certainly no surprise for the Jawa Report, we didn't make the category JihadTube for nothing. We are constantly frustrated that Google's YouTube doesn't do jack sh*t about terrorist propaganda videos. After constantly flagging videos just to see them remain because - "free speech" - cop-out bs. Also stuff like this:
In the past three years, as part of the MEMRI Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM) Project, we determined that YouTube has emerged as the leading U.S. website for online jihad. It has replaced and surpassed websites administered by jihadists themselves, which were previously their venue of choice.It is good to know MEMRI is reporting this to the powers that be, but...., a hell of a lot of good it has done - so far.
MEMRI has briefed members of the U.S. government and Congress on this issue, and has also directly offered its assistance to YouTube in identifying videos that incite violence and terrorist acts for possible removal.
Launched Just Today, September 11, 2012 YouTube Channel Featuring Senior AQAP Cleric Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Rubaish

Thousands Of Videos Of Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, and 9/11 Can Easily Be Viewed On YouTube Even After Addition Of New Flagging System

Brooklyn JHS 292 Teens Visit 9/11 Memorial, Throw Trash Into Reflection Pools
The New York Dept. of Education has launched an investigation over reports that a group of middle school students were caught throwing trash into the reflecting pools of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum during a recent school field trip[...]Besides trash:
Eyewitnesses told the Daily News that the kids threw empty soda bottles and baseballs into the pools marking the original footprints of the World Trade Center towers.
In addition, one of the students reportedly tried to bring firearm ammunition into the site. Police said they found three .33-caliber rounds in a plastic bin in the security area.Respect is taught and these "teens" parents have failed miserably in their parenting skills.
It really is so sad that anyone would disrespect the souls that were lost in the terrorist attacks back on 9/11, said Al Hagan, president of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association.So much for "learning from mistakes".
One can only hope that these children do not become lost and that they learn from their mistakes.
No one was disrespecting. It wasnt nothing like that, said one student. No one was being serious. Everyone was kind of bored and it was just something to do.
BTW, where were the school staff? Looking the other way?

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVEL BASE, Cuba World Trade Center terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed kept his mouth shut Saturday at his first public appearance in three years."Fairness of the court"? What happened to "guilty"? Maybe the brave mujahid is having second thoughts about being offed.
Mohammed and four co-defendants were in court for their arraignment, the first step in a case that could end with their executions for killing 2,976 people on 9/11.
The hearing before a military tribunal at the U.S. Naval Base in Cuba began with Mohammeds lawyer indicating the confessed chief plotter in the attack that toppled the twin towers would not speak.
I believe Mr. Mohammed will decline to address the court, said his lawyer, Davi Nevin. I believe hes deeply concerned about the fairness of this court.
Presiding military judge James Pohl, an Army colonel, said KSMs silence meant an automatic plea of not guilty.

Congressional Investigators Want 9/11 Suspects Questioned About Awlaki
Three letters sent Tuesday and obtained by Fox News show the committee's investigation into the cleric, who was killed in a CIA-led operation in Yemen on Sept. 30, has broadened since his death.
In the first letter, Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, wrote to Lt. Gen. Ronald Burgess, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, which is responsible for directing interrogations of detainees in military custody at Guantanamo, including the self-described architect of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
King asked the agency to question detainees involved in plotting 9/11 about the possible roles of Eyad al-Rababah of Jordan, Daoud Chehazeh of Syria and Awlaki in the terror attack.
"I understand that these detainees have not been interrogated in several years, and certainly not since Awlaki's role within Al Qaeda became widely acknowledged in 2009," King wrote.
Al-Rababah and Chehazeh were first profiled by the Fox News Specials Unit in "Secrets of 9/11," which aired in May. The investigation outlined the domestic support network that allowed the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers to move around the U.S. with ease.
It also presented new and compelling evidence that Awlaki was an overlooked player in the Sept. 11 plot who slipped through the FBI's grasp after the attack.

FAIL: AQAP Celebrates 9/11 .... 16 Days Late!
A special issue of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's English language Inspire (#7) magazine celebrating the 9/11 attacks has been released ... 16 days after the 10 year anniversary of the event.
The magazine's editors, American Samir Khan and "Yayha Ibrahim", dedicated:
this special supplement to the great events of the Expeditions of Washington DC and New York, as Shaykh Usama would call it, or simply 9/11. As America mourns and we celebrate this glorious event, we look into what 9/11 means ten years on.But the pair of traitors couldn't get the magazine to the internet forums until two weeks after the rest of the world marked the anniversary.
Since the two are obvious failures in the propaganda department, we recommend that their leader Anwar al-Awlaki transfer them to the suicide bomber division. We're sure they'll go places with the rest of the low-IQ class.
This edition of the magazine appears to have been thrown together rather halfheartedly. Unlike other issues, it only has two original articles and a few minor editorial comments.
One of the articles, written by the former Charlotte, N.C. resident Samir Khan, explains how al Qaeda is winning the propaganda war. Ironic given that his own AQAP brand couldn't get out it's 9/11 magazine on time!
In further humiliation to the branch of al Qaeda now considered the most dangerous, the forum the group should have posted the magazine on -- the one most closely associated with al Qaeda -- was either very slow or offline over the past few days due to a large scale DOS attack. A second site considered "legitimate" by the group, was offline for several hours today after the online hacktivist th3j35t3r targeted it.
Boom, winning!
The only other article of note is a short editorial by "Abu Suhail" refuting 9/11 conspiracy theories, especially those out of Iran. It accuses Iran of duplicity with the US: sometimes opposing the US, sometimes supporting the US. But:
Iran and the Shi`a in general do not want to give al Qaeda credit for the greatest and biggest operation ever committed against America because this would expose their lip-service jihad against the Great Satan.We at The Jawa Report wholeheartedly agree and recommend immediate action be taken by al Qaeda against Iran.
Red on red, baby.
One last thing of note, the magazine promises an exclusive interview with al Qaeda central's own English language propaganda czar Adam Gadahn. The Orange County, CA native is the only American to have been indicted for treason since the 9/11 attacks. So, I guess this answers the question of whether or not Gadahn is alive or dead. But it leaves unanswered the question of: why haven't Samir Khan & Anwar al-Awlaki been indicted for treason?
In sum: Inspire #7 is a big cup of fail.
Personal note to Samir Khan: You guys are winning the online media war, eh? If that's the case, then why have none of your friends over at AMEF yet posted a link to the new issue? Oh, that's right -- they're all in jail!
Keep looking up Sammy, there's a drone with your name written on it.

Oh, About that 9/11 Anniversary Terror Plot
Lesson: Never try.
Painful Truths From Thomas Hegghammer
Special 10th Anniversary of 911 Q&A With Thomas Hegghammer

Indeed it does.

The U.S. Governments Failed History Of Muslim Outreach Since 9/11
When President Obama hosted his annual iftar dinner in August to commemorate Ramadan, the list of invitees published by the White House was curiously missing the names of several attendees all of whom are top leaders of organizations known to be purveyors of jihadist ideology. But it was not like they had crashed the party. One of the unlisted, Mohamed Magid, head of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of North America, was photographed by Reuters sitting at the front table only a few feet from the president as he spoke.Read it all..
This was just the most recent episode in the federal governments disastrous attempts at outreach to the Muslim community since the 9/11 attacks. With the release of President Obamas new strategic plan to combat violent extremism by expanding outreach to these same terror-tied groups, the present administration seems intent on compounding the problems wrought by its predecessors.
Misguided outreach activities began long before 9/11, with the best example being the case of Abdurahman Alamoudi.
Alamoudi was the conduit through which much of the U.S. governments outreach was pursued following the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Not only was he asked by the Clinton administration to help train and certify all Muslim military chaplains, his organization being the first to do so, but he also was appointed by the State Department in 1997 as a goodwill ambassador to the Middle East, making six taxpayer-funded trips. It is fair to say that during this period, Alamoudi was the most prominent and politically connected Muslim leader in America.
As we now know, Alamoudi was indicted in October 2003 for moving money on behalf of Libyan intelligence in an assassination plot targeting Saudi Prince (now King) Abdullah. The U.S. government has admitted that at the time he was being courted by Democrats and Republicans alike, he was a major fundraiser for al-Qaeda.
However, it is not as if the U.S. government was unaware of Alamoudis attachments. As far back as 1993, an informant told the FBI that Alamoudi was funneling regular payments from Osama bin Laden to Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who was convicted of authorizing terror attacks against New York landmarks. In March 1996, Alamoudis association with Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook was exposed in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Two years later, the State Department came under fire by the New York Post for inviting Alamoudi to official events despite his known remarks in support of terrorism and terrorist leaders.
When President Bush took office, Alamoudi was quickly courted by the new administration. In June 2001, the Jerusalem Post reported that Alamoudi was going to be part of a White House meeting with Vice President Cheney despite the fact that Alamoudi was known to have attended a terror confab in Beirut earlier that year featuring representatives from virtually every major Islamic terrorist organization in the world, including al-Qaeda.
Yet just days after the 9/11 attacks, Alamoudi was one of the Muslim leaders asked to appear with President Bush at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. That same week, one of Alamoudis close associates, Muzammil Siddiqi, was asked to deliver an Islamic prayer and to represent the entire Muslim-American community at the national prayer service mourning the fallen.[Continue reading]

Standing Side by Side at Ground Zero, Bush and Obama Mark Crucial Moment
The above photo is worth a thousand words
Mr. Obama read from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, which an aide said he chose because it spoke of perseverance. Mr. Bush, the wartime leader, read a letter from Abraham Lincoln to a widow who was believed to have lost sons in the Civil War.Is it any wonder as to why GW drew the applause?
Unlike Mr. Obama, Mr. Bush drew a cheer from those who remembered him shouting through a bullhorn atop the smoldering rubble. For Mr. Obama, Sept. 11 is perhaps a less wrenching experience, though it underpins what has become one of the great paradoxes of his presidency.[More...]
UPDATE: Weasel Zippers has videos of Obama and GW's readings.

Another day, same ole Islamofacist assmaggotry..
That Day Today
Today is not a day of service.
Today is a day to remember the innocent who were murdered 10 years ago by Islamic terrorists, and to remember the 17,720 who have been murdered since that day.
Today is a day to honour those who so selflessly risk their lives to save others, those who rushed up the stairs when everyone else so desperately tried to flee down the stairs.
Today is a day to be thankful for our strong military and the men and women who stand on the front lines. Without them, the ugly face terrorism would have visited us on our own soil many more times since that day.
Today is a day to renew our resolve to fight evil wherever it thrives, a day for justified anger. It is a day to declare you are either with us or against us, a day when you are willing to stand firm against evil or look the other way hoping it will ignore you.
Today is that day, 10 years later. Today, the cowards celebrate, the appeasers service, the compassionate mourn, the brave fight, and all patriots remember that day.
Update: Stable Hand posted this video yesterday. It is worth a repeat. Watch and then download the song "America (Land of the Free)":

As we remember that morning... I will focus on this thought:
Al Qaeda can rail and make threats.....but we reached inside the belly of the beast and killed their leader in his jammies.....hiding behind his woman.
The last thing he saw on this earth was the muzzle of an American gun.
And the war goes on...

American Jude Kenan Muhammad Linked to 9/11 Anniv. Plot
Via 1389blog.
This is believed to be one of the men counter terrorism chiefs say are plotting a terrorist attack in America on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11.From NTA, who links to Daily Mail as well as WCTI12:
An image of American-born 22-year-old Jude Kenan Mohammad has been posted on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list.
He has been linked to what officials have called a credible but unconfirmed al-Qaeda threat to set off a car bomb on bridges or tunnels in New York City or Washington.
The Wall Street Journal reported Mohammad is among three al-Qaeda leaders that investigators believe pose a particular threat because they have lived in the U.S.
Should that mission prove impossible, the attackers have been told to simply cause as much destruction as they can.
Mohammad, who was born in Florida, dropped out of North Carolina's Fuquay-Varina High School in 2006 and left the U.S. two years later to visit Pakistan, his father's homeland.
A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted him and seven other men in 2009 on charges that they conspired to carry out terrorist activities around the world. Two of the men have pleaded guilty, and the trial of four others is set for September 19 in New Bern.
Federal authorities have never arrested Mohammad in the case, saying that they believe he has been in Pakistan since the indictment was issued. [More..

UPDATE: I am still searching for the WSJ article, if anyone sees it please email me. Thanks.
Also, Rusty posted about him in 7/2009: Confirmed: Eighth Traitor on the Lam in Pakistan (UPDATED: Traitor ID'd)
UPDATE II: ABC news has more on this. I am trying to confirm this from a domestic source.
Officials may have the name of one of the suspected bomb plotters after a 24-hour intelligence manhunt, U.S. officials tell ABC News.Stay tuned
UPDATE by Rusty: Jude Kenan Mohammad was part of a larger ring of would be jihadis in North Carolina led by Daniel Boyd (aka, Saifullah). Of the eight indicted in the terror ring, only Mohammad was missing.
Mohammad had turned up in Pakistan where he was arrested. But our allies in Pakistan let him go.
Some allies, eh?

Two American Traitors Suspected in 9/11 Terror Plot
Each and every minute these two traitors remain breathing is an insult to the memory of the victims of 9/11:
Al Qaeda may have sent American terrorists or men carrying U.S. travel documents to launch an attack on Washington or New York to coincide with memorials marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11, government officials say.I personally volunteer for hangman duty should these two be found.
One U.S. official says al Qaeda dispatched three men, at least two of whom could be U.S. citizens, to detonate a car bomb in one of the cities. Should that mission prove impossible, the attackers have been told to simply cause as much destruction as they can.
As a precautionary measure, I'd stay away from large gatherings of people tomorrow.
As for all the pontifications that I keep hearing on TV from blowhards who say that if we change our routines then the terrorists have already won, that's total and utter bullshit.
The goal of terrorists isn't to terrorize as is so often stated. Okay, it is to terrorize. But terrorizing the American public is only an instrumental goal.
That is, terrorizing a population is the means to an ends. And that ends is not to change our daily routines.
Do you really think al Qaeda gives one iota of a damn whether or not you go to WalMart tomorrow or not? No, they don't.
Their medium term goal -- and the reason they wish to terrorize us -- is the ending of US alliances and the removal of US troops from Muslim countries.
To misquote Von Klauswitz: Terrorism is politics by other means.
So, change your routines. Be on the lookout for vans and trucks parked in places they shouldn't be. Avoid crowded gatherings. Do this and the terrorists haven't won. Doing this is part and parcel to fighting terrorism
But ditching our allies in Afghanistan or Iraq? Do that and the terrorists have really won.

We've all been there: It sucks to see another team win the Super Bowl when you feel like yours had the best season, and was the most capable. I, for one, was bitter about Super Bowl 43 after the Giants' great regular season. But...this Niners Nation post is a little absurd. Say what you will about some of BBV's editors' opinions, but at least they're all classy enough to never write something like
"[The Niners were] trumped by the team who was mostly absent. It's like when the slacker in school gets better grades than you, and you studied your tail off. This was a weird season for a lot of reasons, so I'm just going to chalk this Super Bowl up to that. Let's see how things differ next year with a full offseason in place."
I mean, seriously? How can you purport to be a sports journalist, or even an editorialist, if you act so entitled? Especially when that 13-3 record came out of the woeful NFC West.
Hats off to the Niners for putting together a great season, and for being a fun team to watch in those close games. But it's the Giants that won five straight elimination games and then won it all. Good luck to Bay Area fans in 2012.

A day after an estimated 10,000 websites went dark and more than 7 million people signed a Google.com petition opposing two controversial copyright enforcement bills, opponents of the bills said there's more work to do.
The Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act aren't dead, with the U.S. Senate headed toward an initial vote on PIPA Tuesday, opponents of the two bills said Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has scheduled a cloture vote -- a vote to override a threatened filibuster of PIPA -- for Tuesday, even though about 20 senators have announced opposition this week, including six who had co-sponsored the bill.
[ Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
Reid talked about senators drafting an amended version of the bill, but no text has been released yet. It's unclear at this point whether backers of PIPA will get the 60 votes needed to override the filibuster threatened by two Republicans and two Democratic senators. Several senators, including some co-sponsors of PIPA, have called on the Senate to slow down.
With the vote still scheduled, the work against the two bills is not over, said Michael McGeary, a strategist at startup consultancy Hattery Labs. Wednesday's protest was "not the first day and not the last day," he said at an anti-PIPA briefing Thursday. "We're here for the duration."
Opponents of PIPA, including the Consumer Electronics Association and NetCoalition, urged senators to delay the vote and return to the drawing board. Any amended version of the bill offered before Tuesday would be the result of a "backroom" deal, and Wednesday's massive online protests seemed focused not only on the content of the bills, but also the rushed attempts to pass PIPA and SOPA, said Mike Masnick, founder of the TechDirt blog.
Wednesday's online protests showed that Web users want a more open process on legislation that affects them, added Michael Petricone, senior vice president of government affairs for the Consumer Electronics Association. "On the Internet, there are no longer any back rooms," he said.
Senator Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat and Senate Judiciary Committee chairman, introduced PIPA on May 12, and the committee voted to approve the bill and send it to the Senate floor two weeks later. In the House of Representatives, Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican and House Judiciary Committee chairman, introduced SOPA on Oct. 26, and the committee held one hearing on the bill. Of the six witnesses invited to speak, only one opposed the bill.
The House committee then began a hearing to amend the bill and move it to the House floor 20 days after the bill was introduced. The markup hearing is scheduled to resume in February.
In Wednesday's protests, thousands of websites, including the English version of Wikipedia, Reddit, and Mozilla.org, went dark to protest the two bills. Google remained open for business, but blacked out its logo on its homepage and asked users to sign a petition opposing PIPA and SOPA. More than 7 million people signed the petition, Google said Thursday.

Fate of JPS exclusive licence could be known next weekBY PAUL HENRY Crime/Court Desk co-ordinator firstname.lastname@example.com
THE action challenging the legality of the Jamaica Public Service's (JPS's) exclusive all-island licence will now reconvene next week Wednesday in the Supreme Court.
The matter was scheduled to be recalled yesterday for submissions to be made on a 1913 case, which the claimants are confident will prove that the all-island licence issued to the JPS is illegal. However, the matter could not go on as government lawyers asked for additional time to prepare a response.
According to Hugh Wildman, the attorney for the claimants, the House of Lords ruling in London Electric Supply Corporation Ltd v Westminster Electric Supply Corporation Ltd is firm that there can be no monopolisation of the energy sector in keeping with the Electric Lighting Act.
Yesterday, Wildman told the Jamaica Observer that in light of the ruling, the respondents — the energy minister, JPS and the Office of Utilities Regulation — would have no choice but to accept that the 20-year licence issued in 2001 and renewed in 2007 is illegal.
"The case is really conclusive on the matter. You can't go any higher than the House of Lords. When the House of Lords makes a pronouncement, no one can overturn it...," Wildman said.
"The issue must be one of settlement. That is what they should be trying to do. There is no question in my mind. ...There is no room for manoeuvre," he added.
Last week Wednesday, Justice Bryan Sykes reserved judgement in the case until September but was forced to recall the matter after Wildman discovered the 1913 ruling last weekend.
Opposition Senator Dennis Meadows, Betty Ann Blaine and Cyrus Rousseau of the group Citizens United for the Reduction of Electricity (CURE) are challenging the legality of the licence, claiming that Section 3 of the Electric Lighting Act of 1890 stipulates that electricity is to be provided by several different entities and in specified areas of the island.
The claimants are seeking to have the court declare the 20-year licence, which is preventing prospective players from entering the energy market, null and void.

Nick Peters, Coal City. Fall sports photo day at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Illinois, Sunday, November 18, 2012. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Nick Peters is the typical athlete at a small high school. He plays football, basketball and baseball. A wide receiver/defensive end, he led the football team to the Class 4A quarterfinals in the fall and hopes to propel the basketball team even further. Peters, a power forward/center, is averaging 14 points per game and just over 6 rebounds.
How did you handle the quick turnaround from playing football to basketball?
We got started a little late for basketball, going that deep into the (football) playoffs but we're coming back and we worked hard. But it's not really hard, because we have a good coaching staff and athletic director. During the summer we communicate really well.
Are you going to have to make a decision soon as to what sport to pursue in college?
I'm thinking if I play a sport it will be basketball – at least, that's what I'm hoping for.
Have you received any offers?
I've gotten some letters from places like Rockford and Carthage in Wisconsin. I'm not generally looking, but as a junior I'm just feeling it out.
What makes basketball the sport you should pursue at the next level?
It's fun and I just like playing it a lot. If I have a basketball in my hands, I shoot it around and play.
If you had the athletic ability to play any sport, what would it be?
I would play in the NFL because of the light those guys are put in in this country. They're pretty much at the top of the food chain everywhere. And I know that I look up to those guys and I think that would be a great thing to have.
If you could be on any reality show, which one would it be?
"Duck Dynasty" on A&E. To have that much money and run around and buying stupid stuff would be a lot of fun.

In case you're sitting in an air-conditioned office with no windows right now (guilty), I just want you to know: It's still decidedly summer. Hyper-summer even. So summer that I am a constant mess of mosquito bites and sticky curls, and my primary activity—when I can muster the strength to remove my face from in front of the air conditioner—is drinking cold beer. (Wait, I mean exercising, Mom! No seriously, exercising!)
But despite this omnipresent boggy misery, there was no stopping the summer-spirited recipe for peach cupcakes posted on SmittenKitchen last week. If stone fruit cupcakes are what we can expect as a product of the summer season, well than I'd say that the asphalt-melting, crazy-making heat is a reasonable sacrifice.
Peach Cupcakes
Adapted from SmittenKitchen from which the frosting scheme was also shamelessly copied. Makes about 24.
3 cups cake flour (I used all-purpose unbleached)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Generous pinch of nutmeg
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark or light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups buttermilk* (or sour cream or full-fat yogurt )
3 large peaches, cored and chopped small (I went for a 1/3-inch dice)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg and set aside. Cream the butter and sugars together, beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl between each addition, and then add the vanilla. Gently mix in the buttermilk. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the peach chunks.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of cupcakes comes out clean. Cool the cupcakes for five minutes in the tins, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
*Remember, if you're out of buttermilk or don't want to buy any, you can substitute a mixture of milk and white distilled vinegar. In this case, add 1 ½ tablespoons vinegar to 1 ½ cups milk, set aside to let curdle for ten minutes, then you're good to go!
Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch and powdered sugar. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the sugar-cornstarch mixture and vanilla, beat until frosting is smooth and light. Chill the bowl in the refrigerator until it thickens back up a bit, about 30 minutes, then spread or dollop on cooled cupcakes.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A Minnesota campaign finance oversight board is weighing whether to impose new fees on lobbyists, candidates and political parties to address budget strains within the regulatory agency.
The fees discussed Monday are a backup plan if lawmakers balk a request for increased funding from the state's general treasury. Campaign board members and staff freely acknowledged that required annual fees could face free-speech court challenges or discourage political participation.
The six-member board gravitated toward a recommendation urging Governor Mark Dayton and legislators to use general tax dollars for a $1 million a year operating budget. The board also authorized staff members to devise a fee structure to present to the Legislature as an alternative.
Preliminary proposals suggest fees that could generate $250,000 to $350,000 a year.

Harold Williams has called east Albany home for more than thirty years. To keep his belongings from disappearing, he's forced to bolt them down.
Harold Williams: "When they come take something from you, it makes you feel real bad."
And even angry. Williams is now spear-heading a neighborhood watch group.
Harold Williams: "What we're trying to now is encourage everybody in East Albany to come in and be with us, if they're not organized to get organized."
He hopes these blue uniforms will warn criminals to stay away.
Harold Williams: "I will be patrolling this area mornings and late afternoons."
Johnnie Tumblin:"Loud noises, I look out my window and see what's going on. If it don't look right, I'm going to call police."
Watch member Johnnie Tumblin wears her uniform proudly. Several years ago her car was broken into, her money stolen.
Johnnie Tumblin:"If I catch anybody in my car, it's going to be a bad day."
She and Williams are encouraging others to help fight crime in their community.
Johnnie Tumblin: "If everybody gets involved, it'll help them in their neighborhood. If they go out of town, they won't have to worry."
Harold Williams:"Hopefully, this will let them know that they just can't come in here and do things."
East Albany residents are hoping for a big turnout for tomorrow's crime watch meeting.
It will be held at 5 PM at the Community Policing Center located on East Oglethorpe Boulevard.
If you'd like to attend the meeting, but need a ride, you can call Harold Williams at 894-2772.

What is the GFSI standpoint on Product and Management System Certification?
Given the recent developments in regard to the revision and impending revision of ISO standards relating to the accreditation of product certification and management system certification, the GFSI Board asked at their May 2009 meeting, that accreditation experts should provide a recommendation as to whether management system certification could be considered as providing equivalent results to product certification, as outlined and required in the current GFSI Guidance Document version 5. Furthermore, the GFSI Board asked that if the results can be considered as equivalent, necessary revisions be considered and made within the GFSI Guidance Document to reflect this.
A meeting was held in Paris on October 7th 2009 to review these questions and the experts present agreed and recommended to the GFSI Board that although both approaches (ISO/IEC Guide 65 and ISO/IEC 17021) are different, the activities undertaken and outcomes that are achieved are very similar.
Click here to read a synopsis of the background to this issue and the key decisions taken at the GFSI Board meeting on 21st October.
Addendum to the GFSI Guidance Document 5th Edition
Following the October GFSI Board Meeting, the decision was taken to accept schemes for benchmarking in the future that have either ISO 65 or ISO 17021 as their accreditation standards. Accordingly, the GFSI Guidance Document needed to be revised and an addendum developed to provide for this eventuality.
Two consultation rounds were held prior to the release of the addendum. This addendum will now apply to schemes until the new version of the GFSI Guidance Document is released in June 2010.
What is Accreditation?
Accreditation is the formal recognition that an organization is competent to perform specific processes, activities, or tasks (which are detailed in a scope of accreditation) in a reliable credible and accurate manner. Find out more about accreditation here in a document prepared by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC).

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- KT Harrell scored 20 points, including 12 in the second half, as Auburn defeated Texas A&M 69-64 Saturday.
Tigers (14-15, 6-12 SEC) snapped a two-game losing streak and won on
the road for the first time in more than a month, a 79-74 triumph at
South Carolina on Feb. 5.
The Tigers, who led 35-34 at halftime,
outscored the Aggies 15-9 in second-chance opportunities. Auburn owned a
35-25 rebounding advantage, with 14 of those coming on the offensive
The Aggies (17-14, 8-10), who saw their five-game home
winning streak snapped, closed out the regular season with two
consecutive losses. They had hoped to at least make the National
Invitation Tournament for their first postseason appearance in coach
Billy Kennedy's three seasons, but that hope now seems farfetched.
Chris Denson added 19 points for the Tigers, while A&M's Jamal Jones led all scorers with 24 points.

Hey guys, I'm new to the site and was wondering what UT fans think about TCU joining the Big 12. I'm pretty fired up to be playing teams like UT, OU, OSU, etc. instead of playing UNLV, Utah and New Mexico.
I think we're going to be solid in football, usually finishing somewhere between 2nd-5th.
This season I think we win 8 or 9 games during the regular season.
What are your thoughts about TCU joining the conference?
Take Care!

Bruce Carter was supposed to be among a possible 3-5 first round draft choices selected in the 2011 draft from the Tar Heels, but suspension and injury sabotaged the possibility. Carter wasn't among the suspended Tar Heels. His decision to return to North Carolina for a final year instead of entering the NFL draft was said to be about obtaining a degree, but a 10 win season appeared a given before the mass suspensions for contact with an agent.
Bruce Feldman (ESPN the magazine senior writer, blogs the annual "Freaks" list = top 10 workout warriors) named North Carolina linebacker Bruce Carter his No. 1 strength and conditioning "freak." Listed at 6-3, 235, reportedly has been timed at 4.39 in the 40-yard dash, and owning a 40.5-inch vertical jump and a 440-pound max bench press, 605-pound squat and a power-clean of 374 pounds.
Intro (From CBS Sports):
Carter was a highly-touted prep athlete who gained most of his attention starring at quarterback and running back, as well as safety. However, when he arrived at North Carolina he ended up changing to outside linebacker.A four year starter, Carter earned the starting outside linebacker position the sixth game of his freshman season.
Carter entered the 2010 season among the highest-touted prospects in the country. Unfortunately, a disappointing senior season and late knee injury that required surgery now cloud his draft status. ...Underwent ACL reconstruction surgery on his left knee on Dec. 14, 2010 and may not be available to work out for scouts before the draft.
Listed as the number 4 OLB by NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock here they are
Led the country (in 2008) with five blocked kicks, including four punts. Blocked eight kicks for his career.
Positives: (from Sideline Scouting):
Good speed... Has good strength for his size, but could stand to add a little weight to frame... Excellent special teams performer... Has a lot of experience dropping into zone coverage... is always quick to get to the ball in the air... Very sound mentally and is an overall fundamental player who rarely makes a big mistake... Hard worker with a lot of potential, always working to improve his game.
Negatives ( from www.thedraftshack.com ): http://site.thedraftshack.com/Bruce_Carter.html
Struggles once blocks are engaged... Takes too much time reacting and not enough time anticipating play... Not as dynamic in zone coverage as his speed suggests... Tackles at legs, but doesn't drive through ball... Not enough tackles... Had reconstructive surgery to repair a torn ACL in mid-December, will likely not be available for the combine or North Carolina's pro day....Between rehab and predicted weight gain, athleticism might be sacrificed
From Russ Lande (Sporting News):
He is very muscular and well-built -- especially his legs -- and has excellent athleticism. Carter (6-3, 230) does not always jump off film because he does not make a lot of game-changing plays behind the line. But he has impressed scouts with his consistent production, position versatility and combination of size, strength, speed and intelligence.

Summary (From the National Football Post):
One of the more gifted athletes, who has the makings of a starting weakside backer in the NFL. Possesses a long, athletic-looking frame and is at his best when asked to click and close and make plays in pursuit. Showcases great explosion once he locates the football and quickly is able to get from point A to point B. Exhibits impressive length and range when asked to break down and wrap up on contact. ...
The biggest knock on him is his inability to quickly react to the football. Isn't real instinctive, which could end up holding him back from ever becoming a real impact player at the next level. However, his tore his ACL makes him a major medical risk.
Projected Round - 2nd-3rd round

Not to offend any of you nexgenners (and I say nexgenners with as much disdain as I can
jk ) This is TOS era. Please please please, no nexgen cameos or references. I know its to late for this movie. But the rest please no.
Lets just let it all be about the original crew. If all they plan on doing is 3 movies for this installment then, and only then at the end of the 3rd movie I will allow (notice my assuming of authority over making decisions here
) a transition scene for nexgen so that there is a possibility of a series of nexgen movies. Although I would much rather have a whole new direction, somthing like the SCE Star Trek books. (actually I want SCE for a TV series leading up to movies)
If you dont know what SCE is, check them out. Its a series of Star Trek books based on the Corps of Engineers. Great series.

Astros Sign Justin Ruggiano
Ruggiano has good power and good speed, and very nice minor league numbers. He's 29 however, and really has never had a sniff of major league playing time. He doesn't appear to be terrible at defense, so without knowing much more about him, this looks like a guy who could contribute off the bench for the Astros and possibly earn some playing time if any of the regulars falter.

Fire guts condo unit in Penacook
Battalion Chief Guy Newbery said the fire started in a bedroom on the top floor in an end unit at the Island Shore Estates condominium complex about midnight. All five residents were out of the building by the time firefighters arrived and there were no injuries.
Newbery said it took about 40 minutes to extinguish the flames. The damage was extensive but contained within the one unit, Newbery said.
The cause was ruled non-suspicious, but investigators were still trying to determined what actually started the fire, Newbery said.
The family members were staying with relatives and would be interviewed by investigators Sunday or Monday.

Nice! The Hollywood Walk of Fame committee announced its 2014 honorees in a ceremony today featuring Jennifer Lopez, who received a star. The latest group of entertainers whose names will grace Hollywood Boulevard includes Giancarlo Esposito and Tavis Smiley for their achievements in television, as well as a posthumous honor for Tupac Shakur in recording.
Legendary songwriting/producing team Holland-Dozier-Holland were also honored in music. Of note, there were no black honorees in film.
Rounding out the honorees to receive stars in 2014 are Orlando Bloom, Ray Dolby, Sally Field, Jack Harris, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Liam Neeson, Paul Mazursky and Tom Sherak for film; Dabney Coleman, Kaley Cuoco, Claire Danes, Deidre Hall, Cheryl Hines, Don Mischer, and Phil Hartman (posthumous) for TV, and Katy Perry and Rick Springfield in music.
Update: An earlier version of this article incorrectly omitted Tavis Smiley as an honoree.
Brando | October 1, 2013 1:06 AM
nice list for 2014, but where a star for Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, or James Gandolfini ?????
Shantella Sherman | July 16, 2013 2:32 PM
Congrats to the Honorees. Many of these, particularly Holland-Dozier-Holland, and Mr. Esposito, are long overdue.
Disgusted | July 3, 2013 8:48 AM
Walk of fame is now officially a joke. Kaley Cuoco and Katy Perry??? WTF?
Expect Paris Hilton, Kardashians, etc. as next recepients. Many of those in their graves would want their stars removed.
??? | June 26, 2013 10:04 PM
Kaley Cuoco?
Jazzy | June 21, 2013 11:48 PM
Katy Perry, WTF?
Alison Wonderland | June 20, 2013 10:30 PM
An honor on the Walk of Fame is not as meaningful as it used to be. It is bought and paid for and as corrupt as any honor from the Hollywood Foreign Press. Kaley Cuoco is getting a star? But Sally Field hasn't received one until now?! Rick Springfield gets a star at the same time as Holland-Dozier-Holland? Springfield was essentially a one hit wonder. HDH are Motown legends!! This whole thing is a joke!
George | June 20, 2013 10:14 PM
"Of note, there were no black honorees in film." Your point? I guess no black people in film feel the need to pay money to get recognition? Those stars cost a lot of money. I guess some people NEED that.
Ana Martinez | June 20, 2013 8:15 PM
NOTE: Tavis Smiley - not Rickey Smiley
The Hollywood Walk of Fame recipients for the year 2014 are:
MOTION PICTURES: Orlando Bloom, Ray Dolby, Sally Field, Jack H. Harris, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Liam Neeson, Paul Mazursky, and Tom Sherak
TELEVISION: Dabney Coleman, Kaley Cuoco, Claire Danes, Giancarlo Esposito, Deidre Hall, Cheryl Hines, Don Mischer , Tavis Smiley and Phil Hartman (posthumous)
RECORDING: Holland Dozier Holland, Jeff Lynne, Mana, Ray Parker Jr., Katy Perry, Rick Springfield and Tupac Amaru Shakur (posthumous)
RADIO: Renan Almendarez Coello (El Cucuy)
Michael | June 20, 2013 7:01 PM
Who the fuck are these two? No one knows them! Why is Tupac's picture not there instead? The guy is international with 75 million sold and is in the guiness book of world records, fuck you indiewire.
