Update at bottom: Matalin 'lied' about Bush inheriting recession
No amount of spit and polish can clean the tarnish of the 9/11 attacks from the Bush legacy, but that didn't stop GOP strategist Mary Matalin from trying.
During a Sunday appearance on CNN, Matalin attempted to prop up an analogy between the first year of George W. Bush's presidency and that of President Barack Obama's. Raising the specter of rising unemployment, anchor John King wondered whether Republicans have the right to attack Democrats over the economy.
According to a CNN transcript, Matalin–seated across a table from her husband, Democratic strategist James Carville–gave a response which was a little more than blindly partisan.
"I was there," she said. "We inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation's history. And President Bush dealt with it. And within a year of his presidency at this comparable time, unemployment was at 5 percent. And we were creating jobs."
The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 happened during the Bush presidency. While administration officials said repeatedly that nobody could have predicted such a devastating attack, an August 6, 2001, briefing delivered to President Bush — titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." — later surfaced.
"The memo, sent to FBI headquarters by a Phoenix FBI agent, warned that bin Laden could have been using U.S. flight schools to train terrorists and suggested a nationwide canvass for Middle… Continue reading

Although I've not yet added it to the store website, they are available. Please email me to order, with BOOK ORDER in the subject line. If you're wondering why we can't "break through" the corporate media, you'll understand clearly after reading this expose! The book description follows below.
Editor's (Borjesson) Note: While working in what has been, arguably, the most difficult reporting environment in recent times, CBS's Dan Rather chose to speak out frankly to BBC Newsnight correspondent Madeleine Holt about the serious and dangerous constraints that he and his colleagues have experienced in the post-9/11 era. I know of no other working broadcast journalist of Rather's long experience and stature who has been willing to go on the record in such a significant way about these matters.

[Read Part I, Part II and Part III of this series.]
The Pentagon's Office of Inspector General is conducting a new investigation into a covert Bush administration Defense Department program that used retired military analysts to produce positive wartime news coverage.
Last May, the Inspector General's office rescinded and repudiated a prior internal investigation's report on the retired military analyst program, which had been issued by the Bush administration, because it "did not meet accepted quality standards for an Inspector General work product." Yet in recent interviews with Raw Story, Pentagon officials who took part in the program were still defending it by referencing this invalidated report.
Gary Comerford, Inspector General spokesman for the Defense Department, told Raw Story last week that his office is conducting an investigation into the retired military analyst program and confirmed that the investigation began during the summer.
Asked when his office expects to conclude the investigation, Comerford said, "As a matter of policy we do not set deadlines since any number of variables or factors could result in a delay."
He did confirm that investigators in his office have read Raw Story's recent articles on the topic.
Congressman John F. Tierney (D-MA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs, issued a press release (cache link) this past June, announcing that Pentagon Inspector General Gordon Heddell had begun the new investigation.
Yet Raw Story and Comerford could find no other news… Continue reading

This is something you have not yet seen in any US media. French independent media La Télé Libre interviews two of the most prominent 9/11 truth activists, Cynthia McKinney and Niels Harrit. To understand the context of the interview, you need to know what is happening in France right now, because 9/11 is surely becoming a hot topic.
A year ago, French comedian Jean-Marie Bigard publicly questioned the official 9/11 story on a popular TV show and said a new investigation is needed. That was enough for him to be called a revisionist by a myriad of journalists and he even received many death threats along the way. Nine months later, Bigard came back on the topic, but this time he went as far as creating 11 videos in which he uses humor to ask questions about disturbing elements of the 9/11 Commission report. He is invited on several TV shows to talk about this and each time he gets vilified by journalists.
Recently, actor and director Mathieu Kassovitz also questioned the foundations of the official version of 9/11 in another TV show. He got the same treatment from the French press.
Both Mathieu Kassovitz and Jean-Marie Bigard will debate this hot topic on France 2 this October 28th (we will post a video of this show as soon as we receive it). Originally, France 2 was supposed to air a debate including two other people who also question the official story: Éric Laurent… Continue reading

A key senior figure in a Bush administration covert Pentagon program, which used retired military analysts to produce positive wartime news coverage, remains in his same position today as a chief Obama Defense Department spokesman and the agency's head of all media operations.
In an examination of Pentagon documents the New York Times obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request — which reporter David Barstow leveraged for his April 2008 Pulitzer Prize-winning expose on the program — Raw Story has found that Bryan Whitman surfaces in over 500 emails and transcripts, revealing the deputy assistant secretary of defense for media operations was both one of the program's senior participants and an active member.
Whitman's conspicuous presence in these records is notwithstanding thousands of documented communications the Bush Pentagon released but for which names were redacted and an untold number the prior administration successfully withheld after its two-year legal battle with the Times.
Barstow's Times expose revealed a comprehensive, covert Pentagon campaign — beginning during the lead-up to the Iraq War and continuing through 2008 — that shaped network military analysts into what internal documents referred to as "message force multipliers" and "surrogates" who could be trusted to parrot Bush administration talking points "in the form of their own opinions." Barstow's reporting also detailed how most of the military analysts, traditionally viewed as authoritative and independent, had ties to defense contractors with a stake in the same war policies they were interpreting… Continue reading

A special on 9/11 has just been shown on the National Geographic Channel, produced by Robert Erickson. Robert also conducted interviews with me and others. In March 2009, Prof. David Ray Griffin and I and Gregg Roberts exchanged emails with Robert Erickson which demonstrate our efforts to get Mr. Erickson and his team to be accurate and fair in their treatment of our scientific work regarding 9/11 — particularly the evidence for the use of explosives in the World Trade Center destruction. For the record, then, I have pulled together our exchanges of emails.
Robert Erickson, emailed David Ray Griffin on 3/27/09:
"if Jones is surprised that we just placed bags of thermite around the column…what else would Jones have suggested? "
I was informed of the question above and I responded on 3/28/09 as follows:
Bags of commercial thermite set against a steel column — what a pathetic "experiment." Not anywhere close to representing my views, as you must know, from our discussion about the red/gray chips and the crucial distinction between ordinary thermite and super-thermite! What a terrible and unfair straw-man joke you are evidently trying to pull.
Why can't you get a sample of super-thermite? I think you can, if you will actually try. Or are you like NIST which refuses to look?

Sibel Edmonds gave a sworn deposition in which she testified to her knowledge of treasonous crimes and corruption involving current and former members of Congress and State and Defense Dept. officials. Given the nature of the deposition, the lines of questioning focused on Turkish espionage and services obtained through bribery and blackmail by Turkish officials and proxies. However, Edmonds has previously disclosed that the corruption involving U.S. officials also includes money laundering, trafficking in drugs, arms and nuclear secrets, U.S. support for Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, and obstruction of FBI investigations related to 9/11, before and after the attacks; she said these things came up "briefly" during the deposition. Edmonds learned of these things from wiretaps she listened to while working as a translator for the FBI in 2001-2002.
Video shot by me of Q&A sessions outside the deposition — Sibel Edmonds, Stephen Michael Kohn of NWC, Bruce Fein of TALDF and TACA (formerly w/ ATAA) and Davikorian, at Edmonds' Aug 8, 2009 deposition
Video coverage from VelvetRevolution.us and BradBlog.com
Edmonds' Aug 8 testimony was subpoenaed by David Krikorian (Democratic 2010 Congressional candidate- OH) to support his defense against a lawsuit brought by Jean Schmidt, R-OH. Krikorian had circulated a flier in his 2008 campaign in which he alleged that Schmidt had accepted "blood money" from Turkish interests in exchange for opposing a Congressional resolution acknowledging the Turkish genocide of Armenians in World War I. The deposition took place in Washington, DC at the headquarters… Continue reading

Two weeks ago, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zadari suggested that Osama bin Laden might be dead, saying that U.S. and Pakistani intelligence agencies had been unable to detect any sign of the world's most wanted man since an audio recording of his voice was released in March.
Sunday morning, Zadari went further: "I don't think he's alive," the president told NBC's David Gregory. "I have a strong feeling and reason to believe that." Zadari continued: "I have asked my counterparts in the American intelligence services and they haven't heard [from] him in seven years."
The CIA has not confirmed that the voice purporting to be bin Laden in the March recording was in fact bin Laden. U.S. officials have claimed that bin Laden could be hiding in the mountainous region along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Just before saying that he believes bin Laden is dead, Zadari told Gregory that America has "been looking [in Afghanistan] for eight years… You lost him in Torah Borah, I didn't."
But Pakistan is still part of the worldwide "lookout brigade" for the alleged terrorism mastermind, Zadari said.

(Article revised 11/12/10)
This episode of Visibility 9-11 welcomes John-Michael Talboo and Stewart Bradley of the blog Debunking the Debunkers.
John-Michael is the creator and administrator of 911debunkers.blogspot.com where he and Bradley debunk the "debunkers" of the 9/11 truth movement. He has been a 9/11 activist since late 2004, is a grassroots organizer listed on 911truth.org for the state of Indiana, a member of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth video team, and a founding member of the central Indiana chapter of the activist organization We Are Change.
Stewart Bradley is an artist, documentary journalist, and political activist living in Lancaster Pennsylvania who runs an independent mulit-media studio. Stewart was already investigating covert government operations before 9/11 and since 9/11 has re-dedicated himself to exposing the public misconceptions behind the attack. In 2004 he wrote and produced a 9/11 docudrama titled "The Proof" and has been actively promoting 9/11 research through his website, blogs, videos, and internet debates. More at: http://bradleyinfotainment.com
Topics discussed include the debunkers' take on the new scientific paper, "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe," and defence thereof.
The MO and possible motives of defenders of the official story is also spoke of and put into a larger historical context. Mentioned is a declassified CIA memo from April 1967 entitled, "Countering Criticism of the Warren Report." which states that one way to achieve this goal is to:

Anthony Hall is like many other 9/11 skeptics. At some point, after examining the events of 9/11 and the international consequences of that foul deed, (particularly the
consequences that befell countries with a predominantly Arab/Muslim population), Mr. Hall decided to speak out. The difference between Hall and most 9/11 skeptics, is that Mr. Hall is a sitting academic at a university in Lethbridge, Alberta, in Canada.
Hall joined a growing list of Canadian academics who have chosen to speak out publicly; John McMurtry , Graeme MacQueen , Michael Keefer , and of course, Michel Chossudovsky , a pioneer in 9/11 skepticism.
He made his debut as a skeptic of the 9/11 Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) on September 6, 2008 in Edmonton, Alberta, with a reading of his paper, The Lies and Crimes of 911 . The paper is an excellent introduction to a series of complex, related studies, that encompass globalization, US imperial tendencies, and false-flag terrorism. Hall is well-versed in these issues, and won an Alberta Book Award for his volume, The American Empire and the Fourth World .
The cover features provocative imagery; Apache-like helicopters in place of stars on the American flag, giving no doubt as to Hall's intent. The image is a very un-subtle, ironic reinterpretation of one of the prime symbols of the American dream; the very banner of Liberty itself is subverted to shock the viewer into a reevaluation of the iconic Red, White and Blue. Just as… Continue reading

–Ani DiFranco, Little Plastic Castles
For the past eight years, American culture has seen an outburst of media-driven mythmaking. Corporate mainstream media organizations, the pundits they sponsor, and politicians from both major parties have formed a new contextual chorus singing the same refrain: "On September 11th, 2001, everything changed." From cable TV to AM radio, from the blogosphere to the town-hall meeting, Americans repeatedly hear that "this is a post-9/11 world."
Although there is some truth to this platitude of pivotal change, independently minded citizens may also wonder whether such mass media messages have become self-fulfilling prophecies. This provides an interesting point of debate about what has or has not changed in America since 9/11.
This chapter concerns itself with the ongoing phenomena of media mythmaking and how, like many Americans surmised just after 9/11, everything has not changed. 1 Corporate mainstream media have resurrected powerful myths from America's past to shape public perception in the present. Through the prism of 9/11, one can see how the corporate mass media are in fact doing more mythmaking than news reporting. Here, the authors will examine central historic American myths the corporate media and even much of the alternative independent media have extended into the… Continue reading

Obama limits ex-presidents' discretion on records
By MARK SHERMAN
January 21, 2009
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has issued an executive order that limits the ability of former presidents to block the release of sensitive records of their time in the White House.
Obama's action Wednesday in his first full day in office overturns an earlier order issued by George W. Bush.
Obama said former presidents may ask to have certain documents kept private, but they no longer may compel the National Archives to do so.
Obama's executive order also makes clear that neither former vice presidents nor relatives of former presidents who have died have authority to keep records private.
Bush's executive order, issued in November 2001, prompted a federal lawsuit and the partial invalidation of the order.
Obama Promises New Era of Openness

United States President Barack Obama announced today that his administration will roll back the secrecy that has ruled during the Bush Administration and implement a new era of government openness and transparency.
Referring to the Freedom of Information Act as one of the most important tools of oversight the nation possesses, Obama called on all government agencies to err on the side of openness and release information whenever possible, which directly contradicts orders by the previous administration to look for reasons to withhold information whenever possible. Just because you have the legal right to withhold information, doesn't mean you should, Obama said at a White House press conference and staff swearing-in ceremony on Wednesday.…Continue reading

This 1964 custom Batmobile was used to promote Batman & Robin Ice Cream and fruit drink products before the TV show was released, and is likely the first car ever to be called the Batmobile. Following the silly price paid for the first TV car in Arizona, it is no surprise to see cars like this suddenly on offer in its wake. Find it here on eBay in Ocala, Florida with a $20k opening bid. Special thanks to BaT reader Fingers for this submission!
The photo above is said to be from 1964, with the builder's wife at left. The seller claims that this car was used in 1964 and 1965, and the TV show didn't appear until 1966. Does this matter? Probably not, as this car doesn't look anywhere near as cool as the Barris creation, but it is still an interesting footnote. The car was built in New Hampshire, and the seller has interviewed the builder extensively, who is still alive.
All-Star Dairies was the user of the vehicle, and we didn't even know that these products existed. Do any of you readers remember these products on the shelves in the 60s?
The car is based on an Oldsmobile chassis and is currently a rolling project. The doors slide into the fiberglass body like a Kaiser Darrin, and power comes from an 1957-ish V8.
This car doesn't seem all that impressive unrestored, but if it was restored it would be notable as a period custom. The Batman connection is a fun story to tell, but the best part of this one would be the looks on bystanders' faces as you cruised past.
With the name of that dairy…did they at least tie into THAT television show?
I actually know the gentleman that built this car!! He goes by the nick name Fosta, "the fun seeker" He is a long time family friend, great guy! He is 77 yrs old and is still going strong. He still works as a machinist in Keene NH. I can tell you, he is as interesting as this car. A legend !
Restoring this car may be, as stated above, a Rocky Road.
But imagine how nice it would be in Mint condition!
And I don't know what it's really worth, but considering the outrageous prices that people are talking about mostly because of the 'connection' to the later but ever popular Batman t.v. and movie series, I'd say that somebody be a Robin someone here.
Now, to the Bat-room…
Now it definitely is a BAT-mobile.
Never before have I seen a car which looks as though it is traveling in three directions at once. I have now seen such a car. How did I ever live before this?
If Ripley's had a car museum, this would be a star attraction.
This is what I get for taking the weekend off. Could you imagine stepping on a Hotwheels or Matchbox version of this? Um, Batman Blueberry and Robin Red cherry for ice cream flavors I guess or something close. Cartoons magazine was the best……….hands down.
@Mark E — did you read the full Wiki on the AeroCar? There were 5 1/2 built (one first-gen was rebuilt into an AeroCar III) and all are allegedly accounted for:
Three in museums (one for sale at $1.25 million)
Two owned by Ed Sweeney who is trying to reestablish the brand
One that isn't airworthy in storage in CO, for sale at $2.2 million
So maybe this is a knockoff this car's builder also took a shot at. Or it's a small fortune on four spindly tires waiting to be saved and sold.
"Atomic Batteries to power. Turbines to speed"
I just checked and Wikipedia backs up my memory – there were only 5 or 6 Aerocars built so if the one for sale can be authenticated maybe it's worth $10k…who knows? I used to work in an office out at an airport and had a buddy who restored planes. It would have made sense then but now? Hm…it's missing lots of stuff…
Okay, after the comments I -had- to look and see what else this guy had for sale and…holy collections, Batman!! He has lots of interesting stuff but…he has a freaking Aerocar for sale! An AEROCAR!! I saw one years ago at the EAA museum out in Oshkosh, WI. and it's awesome! Built after WWII when everyman would fly so why not combine a car & plane! If that thing was down around $5k I'd be looking to take time off to go to FL and drag it home…
Then again, I could buy this 'batmobile' and put it up for sale as a long lost Veritas. If I found a sucker, er, I mean if that worked out, I could buy this guy's whole collection!! (grin!)
@Bob in Bexley — fair enough. But at my age, the suit would be, well, awkward. And far more revealing than anyone would like. I'd be more likely to pick up a geriatric care specialist looking for a new patient.
Alfa Romeo and Bertone beat everyone to the punch
@ Robert J
At $5k, and in the correct hemisphere, I would make this my daily driver.
Life is too short for cars that don't make everyone smile.
He has been trying to sell this for ages and no rube has stepped up to it yet.
Really?? No one is going to do a "Holy _______, Batman comment??
I love quirky customs, one-offs and the oddball visions of a single, motivated design-builder laboring in his cold, damp, poorly lit garage.
But this… ? Too weird, too ragged, too much money. Assuming one did bring it back to its original state, whadddya do with it?? Other than the visual assault it launches, it has no real collector or show value. At lest the Wienermobile has some character, is recognizable, and has a little cargo space.
@AbarthBill —
Bat guano is also a key ingredient in mascara. Yes. It is. Even today. You can look it up.
…. and curiously, it has a rear end like our Australian Prime Minister's face.
I'm with rusty,
As a Myers Manx owner I have a soft spot for fibreglass cars, but some of them are simply horrible. Just looks at some of the UK buggy clones and you'll see what I mean.
But this car has a style that transcends any conventional measure of beauty and form. It's almost the Marty Feldman of car design.
I think with a fresh coat of shiny, shiny silver, a red tuck and roll interior, some vintage speedboat gauges and some new whitewalls and hubcaps this car would absolutely shop traffic rolling into any car show.
And then you've got a half interesting backstory to boot.
Convert it to electric and move to another level again….
@Ed L
Mad magazines are better than everything… particularly the Bill Gaines era ones.
Fingers said " The odd car behind the Bat is also listed on eBay… Another very cool odd duck of a machine almost as intriguing as the potato chip batman thingy…. Take a peek ."
indeed this seller has some interesting stuff advertised [infact letting that one go less than cost]..wonder what else he has unadvertised..I shed a tear if hard times have fallen this collector. I'd say a good open mind about collecting. Good luck to the seller.
"Batman and Robin Ice Cream"??? That's just wrong.
Mark E said " we just broke the windshield on our boat, lets take this one."
hee hee…but not the only fibreglass car to do this …I have a fibreglass 1959 Goggomobil Dart [production of 700] which uses the same style of windscreen…infact a Renault rear window [wrap around] used as the front windscreen and it simply has a brass channel bent to the shape of the top of the screen and chromed. Easiest wat to get a toughened windscreen and mass produce by hand for a low volume but numerous sportscar.
@ Varjak…hee hee thanks mate…correction above, ironically I spelt Seinfeld wrong…ironic because its my all time favourite American show.
Ed L said "So to the extent that it interests me at all, I see this only as a Jet Age custom."
yes yes I agree and thats what sparks my interest, It's jetage look dismissing the fact that the car would probably look better if the middle fin was removed, that would lesson the appeal it has to those who love the designing wackiness that fibreglass can produce. That extra fin or other oddity just creates the wonder of fibreglass cars…you can have cars designed from sleek to way out in fibreglass that a metal manufacturer would never dream of making the dies for…
This is what fibreglass is all about to me..its design freedom…be it sleek and beautiful or wild and wacky…fibreglass expresses the designer/artists emotions without putting limitations on them..
whether its sleek fibreglass or wacky …I dig them.
The odd car behind the Bat is also listed on eBay… Another very cool odd duck of a machine almost as intriguing as the potato chip batman thingy…. Take a peek .
man I'd love this to add to my aussie fibreglass basket cases…
this design on its own is a wonder of the fibreglass period.
Although difficult, if i owned this I would try to resist the temptation to relate this to Batman as i prefer this featured design to stand on its own merits, plus you'd always get "poo pooed" for it being too disimilar to the later car..[but I guess I would not hesitate in using the Batman related data if I was selling it so good luck to the seller]. Plus I have no interest in Batman and other comics, maybe its an American thing , but in my youth of that time I knew no kid here in Aussie in Sydneys heartland that read comics [although I dont doubt they were closeted], my only buying of comics were a few English Chips and Wizzer comics but then I prefered spending my pocket money on Airfix models..
This American comic lust has me befuffled, I once innocently mentioned on an American Keyboard [musical] forum that I got bored watching the Batman movie with Heath Ledger and far preferred [enjoyed] Iron Man and was virtually crucified, infact I was hung upside down like a pathetic Bat with a hangover.
I guess , Batman although known and I guess enjoyed worldwide is truely an American craze. My point is that to me this featured car is much better advertised as its own custom to appreciate its design [as it was never designed as a Batmobile] on that basis its a wonderous fibreglass design.
Bob in Bexley said " This is kinda like batman's weekend car/something for the beach or weekend BBQs."
hee hee… I like that but as Seinfield said "not that there's anything wrong with that " if Robin and Batman want to get away…and this is the perfect car for a weekend on Venice Beach…no?.
Chuck the Bat Board out the back…and hey they are already wearing swimming tights [ errr... i mean Speedos for a dip].
Run, run, run somewhere, the Silly Monster is loose and the world is ending.
with those points on the rear is the designer by any chance related to Bat Nipples Joel Schumacher?
20K? Come on, fellas! And heaven help the guy that rear-ends you!
O Racerit: "I don't know what others thought of that auction but I thought the buyer was a little strange"
Indeed, the Barrett-Jackson auction attracts plenty of strange characters. I'd tell you about a few of them, but I'm using my real name here…
Someone needs to take a mould off of this thing before they paint it.
The next Hilux-based kit car? Hell yeah!!!

John – the CSL race car got the batmobile nickname because its fins & wings gives it a very superficial resemblance to the the various Batmobiles.
http://www.batmobilehistory.com has them all (except this one, of course). Most of them are even more hideous than this one, if you can believe that.
I'm surprised no one has complained that this car wasn't built to be a Batmobile. It was built as a custom creation in the spirit of Big Daddy Roth (Except this guy was first?), then discovered and "hired" by the ice-cream makers to promote their products.
In the end I suspect that means he ratchet down the price a few notches unless it has also been spotted at Motorama or at the Grand National Roadster Show.
And to think, Batman loathes icecream with a passion…
What a steaming heap of Bat poop. This piece is Burning Man material. Just make it run and you'd make the cut for an invite.
I just Googled Courageous Cat.
Check the sellers other auctions! The Aero car is awesome too
@ Bill F – the way he writes that is confusing, but I believe when he's talking about Barris he's referring only to the famous Batmobile from the TV show. He's just trying to make the point that a Batmobile, any Batmobile, is desirable and expensive, so if the Barris version sold for millions, this one will also be worth a lot. Which I kind of doubt, since the Barris version is not only a better custom, but is also very famous because it was on a TV series, whereas this one was not even built as a Batmobile and was only used as a promotion for a regional dairy decades ago. It is sort of cool, though, I'll give it that much.
LOL Well BAT needs a history lesson about bats! The First BAT cars were made by Bertone in 1953. BAT 5 BAT7 and BAT9 "Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica".
This crude backyard job is a hot mess
Send the buyer of the original Batmobile a case of champagne, wait for the effects to kick in, call him up and offer him the real original Batmobile for the bargain price of $100,000. ;>)
This car has been on ebay off and on for awhile before the Barris car, but since the Barris car it looks like the starting price has gone up.

USM Professional & Continuing Education, in partnership with IMA Southern Maine, now offers an instructor-led CMA exam preparation course, IMA's CMA Learning System (CMALS). This comprehensive program combines printed materials and online components with the expertise of an instructor and the discipline of a classroom setting.
These instructor-led review courses will be delivered in two convenient courses, mirroring the two parts of the CMA exam.
Please note: The Institute of Certified Management Accountants is implementing changes to the Certified Management Accountant exam beginning in January, 2015. Changes will impact approximately 10 percent of the exam content. These changes are being made to keep the exam current with the skills required of management accountants and are based on a survey of Chief Financial Officers. Additional content related to financial reporting and strategic planning will be added to the exam.
Exam Structure:
Please note that candidates for the CMA exam may sit for Parts 1 and 2 in any order.
- PART I – Financial Planning, Performance and Controls
(4 hours – 100 multiple choice questions and two 30-minute essay questions)
- Planning, budgeting and forecasting
- Performance measurement
- Cost management
- Internal controls
- Professional ethics
- PART II – Financial Decision Making
(4 hours – 100 multiple choice questions and two 30-minute essay questions)
- Financial statement analysis
- Corporate finance
- Decision analysis and risk management
- Investment decisions
- Professional ethics
Amazing career potential. CMA® (Certified Management Accountant) is the advanced professional certification specifically designed to measure the advanced accounting and financial management skills that drive business performance in today's complex and challenging business environment. The CMA is tailor-made for finance professionals at all levels whether you want to enhance your value to your current organization, or expand your career potential. Earning the CMA will make you part of a network of more than 30,000 credentialed peers worldwide.
Why is CMA the Essential Credential?
- Focused
CMA is the credential that focuses specifically on financial planning, analysis, control, and decision support, as well as professional ethics—the critical skills for today's complex and changing business environment.
- Respected
Leading employers seek to hire and promote CMAs. Companies such as 3M, Alcoa, AT&T, Bank of America, Boeing, Cargill, Caterpillar, ConAgra, Hewlett-Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, and Verizon have CMAs in key management roles.
CMAs have demonstrated both technical competencies and an understanding of the linkage between strategy and financial performance and are grounded in a firm commitment to upholding strict professional ethical standards.
- Valued
The CMA is the certification that can deliver a tangible return on your investment. Professionals with a CMA can earn nearly $25,000 more in average total compensation annually than non-certified peers*. * (IMA Annual Salary Survey, 2010)
- Convenient
The CMA program responds to the needs of busy professionals by providing an evening format – coffee included! Upon completing a course, CMA candidates may sit for the exam at Prometric Testing Center locations worldwide.
To become certified, a candidate must pass both parts of the CMA exam, be a member of IMA® hold a bachelor's degree, and have two years of professional work experience in management accounting and/or financial management.
Who Should Take This Course?
- Candidates preparing for IMA's CMA® examination.
- Practitioners identifying, measuring, analyzing, and interpreting financial information.
- Finance and accounting professionals looking to enhance their career opportunities.
- Accounting staff members preparing financial reports for non-management groups such as shareholders, creditors, regulatory agencies, and tax authorities.
- Accredited, licensed, or certified professionals seeking continuing education credits.
- CPAs interested in moving into an internal corporate accounting role.
- Students with an interest in financial planning, analysis, and control
Build knowledge, and strengthen your skills
While the primary focus of this course is to prepare individuals for the CMA exam, the course is also an excellent professional development tool for helping individuals advance their career in accounting, finance, or business management.
Qualified instructors reinforce key points and keep you on track for success.
A peer network is developed while you learn in a group environment.
Courses are scheduled to align with the testing windows during which a candidate can sit for an exam at Prometric Testing Centers. CMA exam parts can be taken at Prometric Testing Centers. There are three testing windows, January and February, May and June, and September and October.

"The CMA has given me a tremendous amount of value. Not just on the financial end of things, but because I've gained broad-based accounting knowledge. I've been able to advance my career because that knowledge translates into benefits for the companies I work for."
Tammy Drescher, CMA Senior Cost Accountant, Diamond Foods, Inc.
"I use my CMA body of knowledge every day. It comes naturally in the role of CFO, because I need it to look at things from many different angles, not just from the financial perspective. Management accounting skills are very much in demand as foreign and local companies reach out from the local marketplace and into more global arenas. The CMA body of knowledge is very valuable in this regard."
John K. Lau, CMA Chief Financial Officer, WesTrac China

LOS ANGELES – Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto says he is not the creator of bitcoin, adding further mystery to the story of how the world's most popular digital currency came to be.
The denial came after Newsweek published a 4,500-word cover story claiming Nakamoto is the person who wrote the computer code underpinnings of bitcoin.
In an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Nakamoto, 64, denied he had anything to do with it and said he had never heard of bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a Newsweek reporter three weeks ago.
Nakamoto acknowledged that many of the details in Newsweek's report are correct, including that he once worked for a defense contractor, and that his given name at birth was Satoshi. But he disputed the magazine's assertion that he is the face behind bitcoin.
I got nothing to do with it, he said, repeatedly.
Newsweek stands by its story, which this week kicked off the relaunch of its print edition after 15 months and reorganization under new ownership.
Since bitcoin's birth in 2009, the currency's creator has remained a mystery. The person – or people – behind the digital currency's inception have been known only as Satoshi Nakamoto, which many observers believed to be a pseudonym.
Bitcoin has become increasingly popular among tech enthusiasts, libertarians and risk-seeking investors because it allows people to make one-to-one transactions, buy goods and services and exchange money across borders without involving banks, credit card issuers or other third parties. Criminals like bitcoin for the same reasons.
For various technical reasons, it's hard to know just how many people worldwide own bitcoins, but the currency attracted outsize media attention and the fascination of millions as an increasing number of large retailers such as Overstock.com began to accept it.
After Newsweek posted the story on its website early Thursday, Nakamoto said his home was bombarded by phone calls. By midmorning, a dozen reporters were waiting outside the modest two-story home on the residential street in Temple City, Calif., where he lives. He emerged shortly after noon saying he wanted to speak with one reporter only and asked for a free lunch.

1 — This is the last go-round for quarterback B.J. Coleman and All-American wide receiver Joel Bradford, who have been tormenting defenses since their days at McCallie- Bradford had a record-breaking season in 2010 and should again be one of the top receivers in the country. Coleman is rated among the top 15 quarterback prospects heading into next year's NFL draft and appears poised for a big senior season.
2 — The defense took its share of lumps in 2010, especially toward the end of the season, but with eight returning starters the Mocs have more experience and more depth- A healthy Josh Williams at defensive end will make a difference in UTC's pass rush, while the secondary has preseason All-SoCon picks in safety Chris Lewis-Harris and cornerback Kadeem Wise.
3 — After back to back 6-5 seasons, and with a starting lineup that features a lot of all-conference caliber seniors, it's time for the Mocs to take the next step forward. UTC was a couple of plays and a healthy kicker away from taking that step last season, but came up short. They've used that disappointment as offseason motivation and appear more prepared than ever for a breakthrough season.
1 — The Mocs' schedule is one of the toughest in the FCS and there's no margin for error this season. To have a shot at the SoCon title and the playoffs, UTC will have to survive a very tough opening stretch that features road games at Nebraska, Eastern Kentucky and Appalachian State, as well as a home game against Jacksonville State- Splitting those four games won't be an easy task.
2 — UTC's coaches are very optimistic about their young players, but they're still young. With as many as 20 true and redshirt freshmen being counted on to start or play a lot of snaps this season, combined with the tough schedule, a lot of first-timers will be learning on the job in pressure-packed situations.
3 — The offense has quite a few weapons, but they can't be utilized without quality play from the offensive line. The Mocs are replacing a trio of three-year starters on the offensive front and will open the season with a redshirt freshman at left tackle and a true or redshirt freshman at center- It's a talented group that should be solid by midseason, but the line needs to be in midseason form quicker than that.
John Frierson is in his seventh year at the Times Free Press and seventh year covering University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletics. The bulk of his time is spent covering Mocs football, but he also writes about women's basketball and the big-picture issues and news involving the athletic department.

Playing computer games could get a lot more lifelike following a major research project being carried out at Essex.
Thanks to key advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the world of computer games has been revolutionised in the past decade.
Now, a new joint research project between Essex, Imperial College and the University of Bradford could take computer games to a whole new, exciting level. It will focus on making AI even smarter so it is easier to use and more adaptable for games programmers.
For those playing the games, it will mean the computer-controlled non-player characters (NPCs) will be smarter and more human-like in their behaviour, leading to a better gaming experience.
'This research will lead to a more robust type of intelligent behaviour,' explained Professor Simon Lucas, from the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, who is leading the project at Essex. 'For players of video games it has the potential to give NPCs the "wow factor" as they behave in more human-like and realistic ways, taking the player by surprise with their intelligence and empathy.'
Currently all games require heavy programming because the NPCs are not very intelligent and need to be told what to do. The team at Essex will be working on a special type of generic AI which can be easily applied and adapted to many games.
The basis of the research project will be the Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) method, which has already seen major advances in the computer version of Go – one of the few classic games where expert human players still have the edge over their machine counterparts.
The three-year project will receive more than £1 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, with Essex getting £400,000 for its part in the project.
Commenting on the cutting-edge project, Professor Lucas added: 'There are significant challenges to overcome, but the potential for video games is huge.'

The technicians at 5 Star Window Detailing are a versatile bunch. In addition to sliding their squeegees across virtually any size and shape of window, they also spare homeowners the effort of polishing mirrors, cleaning ceiling fans, and removing hard-water stains from bathtubs. Services extend to home exteriors where the crew blasts away dirt from home exteriors during high-pressure washes.
Beach Cities Floor Care and Carpet Cleaning cleanses floors coated in carpet, tile, and hardwood, as well as tackling upholstery, curtains, and auto interiors, with nontoxic, biodegradable solutions and powerful equipment. Among its fleet of sanitizing machines is the Rotovac Powerwand, which rakes rotating scrubbers over carpet fibers 1,500 times per minute—three times faster than the wand of a benevolent witch. The diamond sanders of Hawk floor machines skitter across rough marble, travertine, or limestone, leaving walkways as smooth as silk welcome mats in their wake, and the machines' self-contained spinners scrub natural stone. High-alkaline pretreatment paves the way for the Prochem Blazer XL, which sucks the solution along with all the grime it has trapped from tile and grout.

2009 BMW 750 Li
Softer but by no means flabby, the restyled Seiben has simplified iDrive, a biturbo V-8.
By November 13, 2008
Dresden, Germany As far as full-size luxury sedans go, the BMW 7 Series has always been the driver's choice, the current car offering excellent power and handling in a neat, albeit unusual-looking, package. No matter how unsightly the rear end looked or how complicated the iDrive system was to operate, the 7 Series was the sportiest thing in its segment. For the 5th-generation version, the company has decided to take its flagship a bit more mainstream, giving the new 4-door a more conventional look and improved touring manners.
A number of 7 Series variants will be offered in Europe, but we'll get only the 750i and 750Li. Our test car was the latter, with a wheelbase extended 10.2 in. (to 126.4) over the base model's. The exterior stylists did a commendable job of making the new 7 look smaller than it actually is. Overall length, width and height are 205.3, 74.9 and 58.3 in., respectively. The face has changed slightly, highlighted by a wider kidney grille and new headlights that feature "eyebrows." The rear end has been thoroughly redesigned, with more conventional-looking taillights that could be from a Lexus. Personally, I prefer the styling of the outgoing car because it was more distinctive, especially the rear end.
That said, the interior of the new 7 Series has been improved twofold, in both design and functionality. The dashboard looks much cleaner with the information screen flush-mounted, making it more visible. The controls, especially the new iDrive system, are easier to operate. The second-generation iDrive is as simple to use as your iPhone, allowing you to scroll back and forth from each structured menu. Going from the audio system to the navigation system to the climate control system no longer requires one to study the user manual; you just press the right buttons on the center console and navigate with the large knob. You can even surf the net using the new iDrive system. Rear-seat passengers can do this on the headrest-mounted monitors while the car is in motion; the driver can do so only when the car is parked.
Under the hood, you'll find BMW's twin-turbocharged direct-injection 4.4-liter V-8. This powerplant, also featured in the X6, puts out 400 bhp from 5500 to 6400 rpm and 450 lb.-ft. of torque from a low 1750 to 4500 rpm, which eclipses the output of the current car's naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-8 by 40 bhp and an astounding 90 lb.-ft. of torque. What this means to the driver is that when you get on the throttle, this mammoth 4640-lb. sedan runs like a deer. Think of the new 7 as the defensive lineman of automobiles: big, strong and fast. BMW claims that the car hits 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and tops out at an electronically limited 150 mph.

The Daily Mirror Trophy was the first race of the 1964 season run to Formula 1 regulations. The race was held at Snetterton Circuit, about 30 kilometres outside Norwich. Like in 1963, the circuit hosted the opening round of the Grand Prix season, though back then it was known as the Lombark Trophy, won by Graham Hill for BRM.
Come race day, the drivers were greeted by the most appalling conditions: rain, cold, hurricane-like wind, you name it. Lotus-Climax pilot Jim Clark would be the first driver to try and tackle these circumstance, as he had taken pole position in the cold and misty qualifying session, with a 0.4s margin over Graham Hill in BRM's revised monocoque chassis, now known as the P261. Richie Ginther was supposed to drive a second P261 chassis, but BRM couldn't deliver the car in time. Peter Arundell completed the first row, driving the other Lotus-Climax 25. Ferrari withdrew their entry before the event, making it an all-British line-up.
The second row featured the down-under guys: Jack Brabham would drive last year's car (the new car hadn't been delivered in time, which left Bob Anderson without a drive) and Bruce McLaren drove the old T66 Cooper-Climax. The rest of the 17-car field consisted of Lotuses, BRMs, a Brabham, a Cooper, a Scirocco and in last place a BRP-designed monocoque, driven by Innes Ireland. He was making a return to motor racing this weekend after a crash in the United States late last year.
Due to the weather, organizers decided to shorten the race from 50 to 35 laps. The start, which was delayed fifteen minutes, was a bit of a novelty: it involved a 'dummy grid', where cars would line up, start their engines and only then move up to the actual starting grid. It was hoped to prevent the race from getting underway with stalled drivers keeping their fingers crossed not to be hit by anyone. The result was a bit of a mess.
Anyway, Graham Hill and Peter Arundell led the way, while Jim Clark fell back after a dreadful start. Hill looked set for an easy victory, but on the sixth lap, he hit a puddle and aquaplaned off the track, became airborne and hit a safety bank. Graham Hill was OK, the car was a write-off. Peter Arundell took the lead, until his gearbox failed on lap 22.
In the meantime, a lot of other big names had dropped out as well: Jim Clark and Jack Brabham had both retired with engine problems. Jo Bonnier took the lead driving a Cooper, closely followed by Innes Ireland in the BRP. Just a few laps later, Ireland moved up the inside of Bonnier into the first corner, braked much later and took the lead convincingly. Ireland was unstoppable that day and took a commanding victory: after 35 laps, Innes Ireland was declared the race winner, with a 20-second lead over Jo Bonnier. More than a minute after Ireland had finished, Bruce McLaren's Cooper crossed the line in third.
Not a huge amount of conclusions to be drawn from the Daily Mirror Trophy. Innes Ireland was untouchable that day. And the new BRM P261 was no slouch. But arguably the most significant performance that day came from one of the support races: a young Scotsman named Jackie Stewart had won the Formula 3 race in a Cooper (entered by Ken Tyrrell), after he had pulled a 48-second gap… in three laps' time.

November 27, 2014
March 21, 2005
Governor Mark Warner (D-VA) spent his day in town Monday, March 21st.
The first stop for the Governor was the unveiling of what he dubbed, "the third generation of the Internet."
The system, called 'Vortex', connects all the state's universities to national and international research networks. One of the fastest networks in the country, Warner told CBS19/ABC16 News that it has great economic promise for the entire state.
"I believe [it will] help us create the intellectual capital that will directly translate into jobs," he said. "And with the excess capacity that's being created, hopefully we can sell that off, or sublet it to rural economic development opportunities as well."
Next, the jacket came off, as Warner headed to Professor Larry Sabato's American Politics class in Wilson Hall.
There he spoke to over five hundred students, answering questions ranging from hometown concerns to how did he, a Democrat, win in a predominantly Republican state.
His answer to this one was to stay in the middle, because that's where he thinks most Virginians lie.
"How do you try to bring people along?" he rhetorically asked. "If you got an idea, you lay it out and try to be straight with people about where you want to head, and don't dismiss folks with an idea just because it has an 'R' or 'D' attached to it."

2014 Saskatchewan Roughriders training camp presented by Groundforce Drilling got underway Sunday morning here at Griffith's Stadium and I can't make this stuff up -- there was a dark, gray cloud hanging over the proceedings.
Make no mistake, the morning practice was an upbeat session as the team convened for the first time on-field since their 2013 Grey Cup championship on November 24 in Regina when the Riders beat Hamilton 45-23.
But on this cool Sunday in the Bridge City, Roughrider players wore black armbands as a show of solidarity while the CFL and its Players Association work through their current labour negotiations.
There was considerable concern training camps across the CFL wouldn't start at all after the two sides in the labour squabble broke off talks on three separate occasions beginning in March. As it is, training camps opened with no new Collective Bargaining Agreement in place. The old one expired on midnight of May 29.
While it's hard to imagine there will be a strike at all in 2014, those armbands are hard to ignore. Honestly I just thought they were sweatbands which players often wear but they made it clear what they represent.
By the time you read this, they may have gone on strike. Things have been changing on a daily basis but right now there doesn't seem to be a plan from the players going forward.
Regarding this training camp itself, it's a different vibe from last year when the Riders began the initial stages of putting a team together to challenge for a Grey Cup in Mosaic Stadium. 365 days ago the Riders assembled an All-Star cast which would roar out to an 8-1 start, its best in franchise history, on the way to a championship season.
This time around they seem a little more subdued. Gone are veterans Kory Sheets and Weston Dressler (to the NFL), along with Mike McCullough, Rey Williams and Geroy Simon (retirement). There are plenty of spots open on the team and it's a far younger group 12 months later.
"It's a different vibe but it's a good vibe," smiled Rider quarterback Darian Durant. "It's very youthful and energetic, and I like that. But at the same time we still have a good mix of veterans who can bring the young guys along. Our older guys are older but we're energetic too and we'll try to pass that down to the young 'uns."
With Sheets, Dressler and Simon gone, there are some big-time openings on the offensive side of the ball. However first-year receiver Chaz Schilens comes to the Riders after NFL stops in Detroit, Oakland and New York and he's already lining up with the first group of receivers. Running back Jermaine Thomas is a raw rookie out of Florida State and is atop the depth chart to open camp. Early on he's shown great speed and a knack for finding the holes.
So what's the motivation heading into this season? Head coach Corey Chamblin is quick to point out they'll never repeat that magical 2013 campaign, the best in franchise history. However leave it to a wily veteran to find a silver lining in that gray cloud.
"We're excited to have the opportunity to become legendary here," said Rider defensive end Ricky Foley. "You win one Grey Cup you're a member here forever. But we have a chance to win two in a row and I can't even imagine what would happen if we did. We're super-motivated at the opportunity to go back-to-back."
The mission to repeat is on!

Dell and the Linux Desktop

There's quite a bit of speculation going on at what distribution of Linux Dell will choose to put onto its desktops or if they'll even attempt to put Linux on the desktop. In my opinion, it would be smart for them to do this…mainly because there is so much marketing momentum behind this right now they'd be a fool not to take advantage of it…and they didn't have to pay a dime for it either.

For instance, social security numbers or credit card numbers are always considered private…they're not given out to people or … Continue Reading →
