Fantastic!! The ONLY complaint I have is that the cook time is way off. I used THICK pork chops and set the timer to check them at 30 minutes- they were already at 170!! They would have been absolutely dead at 60 minutes, they were overdone as it was. That being said, the sauce and cook method are awesome and we'll definitely be making this one again.
Solid recipe. Easy enough. The sauce has nice flavor, but I might stuff some garlic in the pork for a little more kick. I also agree that the listed cooktime is way too long -- we used 1 inch thick chops and we only needed to cook them for about 20-25 minutes -- as it was, there was no pink in them, so I would cut it back a little further next time.

Three people have been indicted on first-degree premeditated-murder charges in a case Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said Friday is another example of extreme violence connected with heroin trafficking.
A grand jury indicted Maureen Onyelobi, David Johnson and Maurice Wilson in the shooting death of 23-year-old Anthony Fairbanks. According to the criminal complaint, police responded to a shooting call at 10 p.m. March 8 in the 2700 block of Longfellow Avenue S. in Minneapolis. They found a dead man on the street with a gunshot wound to his head.
The victim's family told police that Fairbanks had spoken on a cellphone with a heroin dealer just before leaving his mother's home.
Officers learned Fairbanks had recently been indicted in a federal-gun case, along with Onyelobi's boyfriend. Jail calls from March 8 between Onyelobi and her boyfriend indicated that he was concerned about a man who might talk to police.
Police found the gun used in the shooting. Onyelobi's van was seen leaving the crime scene, police said.
Information about the role of Wilson and Johnson in the shooting isn't public at this time, according to the Hennepin County attorney's office. All three defendants are in custody.

OverviewCapcom Co., Ltd. is an Osaka-based Japanese developer and publisher of video games, known for creating popular franchises such as Mega Man, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and others. Originally established in 1983, it has since become an international enterprise with branches and subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and East Asia.
The original companies that spawned Capcom's Japanese branch were I.R.M Corporation founded on May 30, 1979, as well as its subsidiary Japan Capsule Computer Co., Ltd., both of which were devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines. The two companies underwent a name change to Sambi Co., Ltd. in September 1981, while Capcom Co., Ltd. itself was first established on June 11, 1983, for the purpose of taking over the internal sales department.
In January 1989, the old affiliate company Capcom Co., Ltd. merged with Sambi Co., Ltd., resulting in the current Japanese branch. The name Capcom is an abbreviation of "Capsule Computer", a term coined by the company to describe the arcade machines it solely manufactured in its early years, designed to set themselves apart from personal computers that were becoming widespread at that time. The word capsule alludes to how Capcom likened its game software to "a capsule packed to the brim with gaming fun", as well as to the company's desire to protect its intellectual property with a hard outer shell, preventing illegal copies and inferior imitations.
While Capcom's first product was the coin-operated Little League from July 1983, its first real video game, the arcade title Vulgus, was released in May 1984.
TriviaCapcom in Japan runs a small record label for their game soundtrack releases: Suleputer. The name comes from Capcom's original name, Capsule Computer, using the parts that were discarded when the name was shortened.

The only time I would not install drivers is if I didn't want a particular piece of the hardware to work correctly.
For instance if a laptop user must not have any wireless access - no wireless NIC drivers.
I hate that yellow question mark.
Hi everyone,
Slightly OT, but we are having a debate about whether or not you should find every single driver in Device Manager. I say as long as it works, theres no need to find all the Unknown Devices, and SM Bus, etc as all it does it wastes time and effort.
But on the other hand, my colleagues are saying it annoys them when there are loads of unknown devices.
What do you lot think?

I hate that yellow question mark.
I would definitely get every driver installed (with the exception of devices such as those mentioned by @TheLibrarian) - it's too easy to have device X missing which actually stops something else working properly.
As an example, before XP SP3 you had to install the UAA stuff before high def audio would work (think that's right - it's a while ago!) - the missing device looked unimportant but without it you get no sound. Now that's pretty obvious but there are others which are less obvious but could cause problems.
if it's a new machine, don't buy it if the vendor doesn't provide the drivers on their web site. If it's an old machine then surely the drivers are all on your install server :-)
Like the others... no yellow question marks unless it's for the dial-up modem!
Your colleagues are right..........Install the drivers.
Hi everyone,
Well it's certainly clear that the majority of you insist on installing the drivers.
What I have always said is the drivers that are already in-built into Windows (bar those that are user-required but not pre-installed - i.e. Graphics and sound) are perfectly adequate for users.
They are signed, stable and most importantly thoroughly tested. On the other hand, the manufacturers drivers that they insist on you installing are often unstable. Many times I have had to revert back to the stock drivers because of either system unstability, or the fact that they simply refuse to work. Only the other day I had to revert an Atheros driver on my laptop because it kept disconnecting.
I am sure many users have had to downgrade drivers becuase of instability and lack of testing.
Computers are a progressive technology. A few decades ago, or even in Windows 2000, there may have been a need to install the drivers due to the so-few generic and in-built drivers. But, as time has gone on, Microsoft and manufacturers have worked more closely, and thanks to that the drivers that Windows has are sufficent for the operating of the computer.
If there is a windows driver, there's no yellow !, and usually it's fine. What I don't want is users being prompted to install hardware or reduced system performance, and I find the easiest way to avoid both is to get rid of all the unknown stuff.
Remember that I am not saying do not install any drivers. I am saying that we dismiss any drivers that won't affect the user experience - i.e. SMBus, etc. The stock Windows drivers are more than adequete (and tested) to allow the operating system to be usable.
So I am saying we install graphics, sound, network, wireless, etc, but not the additional Unknown devices, SMBus, etc.
Yes but if Windows finds its own driver for the SM Bus or anything else, it wont show as a yellow ? in DM
If the ? is there then there is no driver, Windows or otherwise, installed for that device. I see your point that not everything is vital, but chipset components like that usually increase peroformance (and I havent had any problems with drivers for things like that for years)
Don't be slack! - Get the drivers installed!!
Last edited by Dos_Box; 12th April 2010 at 03:40 PM.
I agree , all the drivers. I'm the opposite on windows drivers, I've seen may a windows driver from MS screw up the NIC or video card working!
On some of the newer machines you HAVE to install the ICH9 (HDD Controller) before you can install a Volume license copy of XP for example.
On some of our Toshiba Tablets there is a note that says the security chip cant be installed under XP and drivers are only available for Vista and above. leaving you with the option to disable the chip in the bios as the only way of getting a clear DM
I never like seeing an unknown device before deploying an image, I always make sure an up to date driver for anything is sent out first. A lot of the time I like going straight to the manufacturer of the individual component, not even the manufacturer of the computer, such as HP or Acer. I'll install, say, Windows XP, and all drivers from the computer manufacturer website or from Microsoft Update, and I'll find that some drivers are dated 2003, 2004, etc. I'll go to the manufacturer's website of the actual individual component and find that a new driver for 2008 was released and is much better. I see what you're saying though about some drivers not being good and tested for the machine, but in my experience I haven't had any issues.

What I didn't hear much of (or at least not enough of) was the impact of screen-time on stress and illness severity, particularly in regards to mental disorders, which are highly sensitive to stressors of any kind. A primary goal of the integrative medicine approach is to take the body out of fight or flight mode and into healing mode as much as possible. How can we ignore the impact of screens which assault us daily? Screen-time has a lot of negative health effects, but this post will focus on studies that link screen-time to stress markers.
Study Findings on Electronic Screen Media Associated with Physiological Stress Markers
1. Computer game playing assessed as valid psychological stressor to induce physiological effects of stress, including changes in autonomic tone (heart rate and blood pressure), EMG (muscular activity), Galvanic Skin Response (skin conductivity) and cortisol levels. (Sharma et al, 2006)

Franciscan St. Francis Health Is First Hospital In Nation To Implant Breakthrough Aortic Heart Valve Device
"The On-X heart valve with Anatomic Sewing Ring is a major advancement and allows us to again improve the quality of life for younger patients with aortic valve disease," said Gerdisch. "The new valve permits preservation of normal cardiac architecture and tension is reduced on the tissue where the valve attaches. This type of innovation is designed to facilitate implantation and reduce trauma to the heart, ensuring a greater likelihood of long-term benefit."
On-X valves are designed with breakthrough technology that causes less blood cell damage than traditional mechanical valves.
Franciscan St. Francis Health is one of the leading hospitals for the Prospective Randomized On-X Valve Reduced Anticoagulation Clinical Trial (PROACT). The purpose of this trial is to determine if patients that receive the On-X valve can be safely maintained with reduced levels of blood thinner or eliminating the use of Coumadin (warfarin) altogether.
This landmark trial has already produced important findings that could impact the future for patients that receive a mechanical valve. Gerdisch will be presenting study results at professional conferences internationally this year.The Franciscan St. Francis Heart Valve Center is the first dedicated multidisciplinary center for evaluation and treatment of heart valve disease in Indiana. As the only Healthgrades 5-Star valve repair and replacement surgery program in Indianapolis for two years in a row, its team of heart surgeons and cardiologists are experienced in managing complex valve disease. By offering advanced surgical techniques not available at most hospitals, the center's staff offers new life and hope to patients.

The Story
1:48 a.m.
Bronx sewers
Amazing. The sounds down here are even more impressive than the sights and smells: the Niagara-like crash of water spilling in from side drains; the rumble of the subway; the guh-DUNK! of cars hitting manhole covers overhead, like two jabs on a heavy bag. Steve says were only 12 feet beneath the surface, but it feels far deeper. The familiar world is gone: only sewage now, the press of surrounding earth, the anxious dance of headlamps on the water. Every 100 feet or so, an archway appears and we can see a parallel channel gurgling beside us with a coffee-colored murk. I shine my headlamp down and watch a condom and gooey scraps of toilet paper float by. I check the air meter constantly: no trace of gas, and the oxygen level is a healthy 20.9 percent. I ask Steve how he navigates down here; he laughs. Hey, Erling, he calls out, youre taking care of the navigation, right? Funny.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Nick Hundley homered and drove in two runs, and the Padres snapped a 10-game skid with a 4-2 win over the Dodgers to barely maintain first place in the NL West.
The San Francisco Giants threatened to put the division in a virtual tie after beating Arizona, 2-0, in 11 innings earlier Monday, but the Padres ended their longest losing streak since a franchise-record 13-game string in 1994 to keep a one-game edge.
"I think there was a big exhale," Padres manager Bud Black said. "But again I think our guys know they have to prepare for another game. They know what month we're in."
David Eckstein added an insurance sacrifice fly in the seventh inning for San Diego, which used seven pitchers in the opener of this three-game series. Tim Stauffer lasted four frames in the emergency start for Mat Latos, who was scratched due to the stomach flu. Mike Adams (3-1) pitched 1 2/3 frames for the win and Heath Bell threw the ninth inning for 38th save of the season. He's converted 25 straight save chances, but didn't have an opportunity for one since August 19 at Wrigley Field when the Padres beat the Cubs.
Vicente Padilla (6-5) was charged with five hits and three runs over four innings, as the Dodgers lost for the fifth time in six contests.
The Dodgers had their chances in the sixth and seventh, but didn't capitalize in big situations and finished the night by going 1-for-8 with men in scoring position. They left two men on base in each inning between the fourth and seventh.
"Opportunities get away, and there's not much more to add to that," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "We had nine hits and some situations we didn't deliver."
Trailing 3-1 in the sixth, the Dodgers put men on first and second with no outs, but Ryan Webb fanned Matt Kemp. Ryan Theriot grounded out, and Brad Ausmus left two men in scoring position when he grounded back to the mound.
Scott Podsednik hit his first homer in a Dodger uniform in the seventh off Luke Gregerson, but Adams escaped a jam later in the frame. With men on first and second, he fanned Andre Ethier to end the inning.
Aaron Cunningham doubled off Jonathan Broxton in the seventh and scored on Eckstein's fly ball to center.
The Dodgers didn't have a man on base in the final two innings.
Hundley hit the first pitch of the bottom of the third over the wall in left, but Ethier's single scored James Loney in the fourth. Theriot lined out to keep runners on first and second to end the inning.
The Padres loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the fourth, and a fielder's choice grounder from Will Venable scored Adrian Gonzalez. It became 3-1 when Hundley singled in Miguel Tejada.
Loney popped out to leave two runners on base in the fifth.

My husband and I stayed at A Touch of Italy for our birthdays. Debbie and Jim are absolutely wonderful. They took care of us and made all our arrangements. The breakfasts are phenomenal and fit for Royalty!! The rooms are decorated beautifully and very private. We went island hopping between Put-In-Bay and Kelley's Island. The Bed and Breakfast is close to downtown Port Clinton and the local bars, all within walking distance. Debbie arranged for our cab ride to Mon Ami Winery for dinner and had a bottle of chilled wine waiting for us upon our arrival. We love this place! We've been here a few times and will be back!! Can't wait to see Debbie and Jim again!!

This was our first experience with staying at a B&B and it was fantastic! From the relaxing atmosphere on the front porch, to the delicious breakfasts Deb creates each morning... This is truly a trip we will never forget! We cannot wait till we get to come back again! Thank you so much Deb and Jim for making our trip remarkable! Amanda and Gordon

Best B & B in a long time. So relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. Rooms so pretty and clean and include everything you might need. The house and grounds are awesome. The front porch was a favorite for my husband and me.. The soft music, water fountain, foliage, candles, Italian decor and SWING was so relaxing. It is so close to the Jet Express ( Lake Erie Island transport) that you can walk and not have to park in the parking lot. The wonderful breakfast left us feeling totally satisfied. You will not be disappointed Debbie is a fantastic host. We can't wait to go back !!!!!!!

Having never been to a B&B, we did not know what to expect. What we got was a nice and quiet two days of relaxation. From the moment you arrive, Deb takes care of everything. Her suggestions were right on target. (Mon Ami on Sunday night is wonderful) Our room was clean and very well maintained. If you forgot something, don't worry as they had everything from Q-tips to lotion. We did the romance package with wine, roses and cake. The roses were so fresh, they lasted another week after we got home. Jim takes great care of the grounds. The star here is breakfast. Fresh fruit, juice, coffee, and a creative entrée served at exactly the time you ask. My favorite was the Italian toast with peaches and bacon. You will not go away hungry. Thanks for the experience Jim & Deb. Jim & Brenda

My husband booked a night while he was working an outage at the local power plant. Deb made us feel so comfortable and the breakfast was wonderful. Loved the conversation, made us feel like we were at home. Rooms are very comfortable and service was great.

I enjoyed every bit of this B&B. Will be recommending this spot to friends and family. The rooms were clean & cozy, the veranda was perfect to relax and enjoy a glass of wine and the owners (Debbie & Jim) were simply amazing. They assisted with dinner reservations at MonAmi, suggested cab services & recommended local spots to dance and let loose. Oh... And the homemade breakfast was delicious!! So much flavor and variety. Truly one of the best!!

It is a welcoming, quaint and cozy atmosphere. Debbie makes you feel right at home and special. Breakfast was a private affair on a beautifully presented table with a delicious, full size serving. Our room was a little on the small size, but everything you need is creatively at your fingertips with personal touches.

My husband and I did a quick end of the summer get away. I searched the internet and found a lovely B & B in Port Clinton. A Touch of Italy is exactly that--from the beautiful landscaping and quaint neighborhood to the red wine awaiting us in our room and finally a delicious Tuscan style breakfast. Deb was so accommodating to our plans and helpful in booking us dinner reservations and providing us with all of the local information. I am recommending this B & B to my daughter as she makes wedding plans--great place for her and her bridesmaids to have a planning weekend.

Now that he's the most decorated Olympian in history, swimmer Michael Phelps has it all -- including a beautiful girlfriend. As it turns out, the record-breaking athlete has been secretly dating 25-year-old Megan Rossee for several months now. On Sunday, the aspiring model went public with their relationship, tweeting this adorable photo of herself cuddling with Phelps and his six newest medals.
"Yay Michael," she wrote alongside the picture.
Phelps, 27, reportedly met Rossee at a Hollywood nightclub in January, where she was working as a bottle server. According to RadarOnline, the cocktail waitress rejected Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt in favor of Phelps and has been his biggest fan ever since. Not only did she cheer him on at the Olympic trials in Omaha, but she's been on the sidelines throughout the London Olympics -- even though Phelps has been a little too busy to spend time with her!
"@MichaelPhelps this probably will get lost in your tweets but since i cant text i miss you and cant wait to spend time with you for real xo," Rossee wrote to her boyfriend via Twitter on July 28, the day of his first race.
Shortly before his final gold medal victory on Aug. 2, Rossee tweeted him another message: "Good luck tonight bear."
Now that the Phelps is retiring from his Olympic swimming career, he should have plenty of time to spend with his new lady. In fact, RadarOnline's source claims that he's thinking of settling down.
"Michael is completely besotted with Megan and now that he's retired is even thinking of popping the question," says the insider.
Phelps himself hasn't announced any specific future plans -- besides avoiding pools for a while!
"It was great not having to get out of bed to put on a Speedo to jump into a cold pool," the swimmer told ESPN the morning after his final race. "That's one thing I will not miss."
Phelps split from his previous girlfriend, former Miss California Nicole Johnson, at the end of 2011.

Myanmar and Thailand burn $500 million of seized drugs
Published on Jun 26, 2014 8:50 PM
YANGON (AFP) - Myanmar and Thailand incinerated some US$400 million (S$500 million) worth of narcotics on Thursday to mark World Drugs Day, but the UN warned opium production was on the rise in the region.
In Myanmar, which has long struggled to control illegal drug production, some 1.3 tons of opium, 225 kilograms of heroin and 1.2 tons of methamphetamine tablets were destroyed in controlled blazes.
The haul was worth around US$130 million, according to Major Khin Maung Than of Myanmar's anti-narcotics committee, who added that the country's anti-drug campaign was running into problems in some regions that are home to ethic groups where drug production is highest.
"As the government can't reach agreement with some ethnic groups on anti-narcotics work, we can't do the work effectively," he told reporters.

I really hate the light text font. unreadable. highly annoying. not getting any better for sure. not even an upgrade for readable version. this never will be a usable app til the design is changed.
Great app! It is so valuable to be able to nurture your vocabulary like a great garden. Being able to express as well as understand in language the intricate details of the spectacular universe of the human mind is one of the greatest contributions to a fulfilling life.

Lots of ads but still good
This app is fantastic!!!!!
Pretty good app. Wide variety of definitions, and the learner's and rhyme functions are helpful. Thesaurus leaves a little to be desired, though.

Fox: No Content Changes To Drama On Serial Killer
By DAVID BAUDER
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) â¿¿ Fox's entertainment chief said Tuesday that the network did not change the content of "The Following," its upcoming drama about a serial killer, because of the Connecticut school shooting or other real-life acts of violence.
The drama, featuring Kevin Bacon chasing a grisly killer who recruits murderous disciples, is simultaneously the most stomach-churning and most anticipated new dramas on television's docket. Debuting Jan. 21 on Fox, the Kevin Williamson-created series opens by showing the bloody aftermath of knifed prison guards, has a woman commit suicide by gouging her eye and piercing her skull with an ice pick, and shows a man set on fire at a coffee stand.
While Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment chairman, initially said the series' promotion wasn't affected, a spokesman later noted that some ads for the show were softened immediately following the Connecticut shooting. Electronic billboards depicting a woman with an ice pick were changed to pictures of Bacon, said Fox's Joe Earley. Some on-air ads with action sequences were also changed to focus on Bacon, and Fox combed its promotions to make sure none of them depicted actors with guns, Earley said.Williamson, creator of the "Scream" movie franchise, said he was traumatized by the events of Dec. 14, when 20 first graders and six educators were gunned down in a Newton, Conn., elementary school. "I know it affected me," Williamson said. "I know what happens in the real world affects me. So when I take pen to paper, there is a reaction to it and it sort of finds its way into what I do." He doesn't know how the latest attack will affect his work. "It just happened," he said. "We'll see." But Williamson said "The Following" is partly inspired by the Columbine school shootings of a decade ago. He said he wonders how people like the Columbine killers are attracted to evil as a way of filling a void in their lives. The serial killer in "The Following" is a charismatic figure who attracts followers by trying to provide them with something they are missing.

September 30, 2011 was the day America was assassinated.
Some of us have watched this day approach and have warned of its coming, only to be greeted with boos and hisses from "patriots" who have come to regard the US Constitution as a device that coddles criminals and terrorists and gets in the way of the President who needs to act to keep us safe.
In our book, The Tyranny of Good Intentions , Lawrence Stratton and I showed that long before 9/11 US law had ceased to be a shield of the people and had been turned into a weapon in the hands of the government. The event known as 9/11 was used to raise the executive branch above the law. As long as the President sanctions an illegal act, executive branch employees are no longer accountable to the law that prohibits the illegal act. On the president's authority, the executive branch can violate US laws against spying on Americans without warrants, indefinite detention, and torture and suffer no consequences.
Many expected President Obama to re-establish the accountability of government to law. Instead, he went further than Bush/Cheney and asserted the unconstitutional power not only to hold American citizens indefinitely in prison without bringing charges, but also to take their lives without convicting them in a court of law. Obama asserts that the US Constitution notwithstanding, he has the authority to assassinate US citizens, who he deems to be a "threat," without due process… Continue reading

History Commons Groups
A large number of new entries have been added to the Complete 9/11 Timeline
at History Commons describing important events that took place on the day of
9/11, while other new entries add to the growing body of information about 9/11-related
training exercises.
One new entry describes how, from 1998, the US Secret Service included computer simulations of planes crashing into the White House in its training exercises. Another notable exercise was held early on the morning of September 11 in the White House Situation Room, based on the scenario of a terrorist bombing in the Middle East.
Also relating to training exercises, new details have emerged about an FBI anti-terrorist unit that was stranded away from Washington at the time of the 9/11 attacks. The Critical Incident Response Group arrived in San Francisco the day before 9/11 for a week of training. Such was the unit's importance that the White House made getting it back to Washington a priority in the hours after the attacks.
New entries describe two mistaken reports of hijacked aircraft on the morning of September 11. One of these aircraft was thought to be targeting NORAD's operations center in Colorado. This incorrect information may have caused NORAD to close the massive blast doors to the operations center. The other aircraft was thought to be heading toward Air Force One as it flew President Bush away from Sarasota, and this may have been one reason why Air Force One… Continue reading
In his film "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore explored the complex ties between Bush administration officials and associates, the Saudi Royal family, and those believed to have carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. Today, Moore is backing former Florida governor and senator Bob Graham's call for President Obama to reopen the investigation into 9/11 after new information emerged about the possible role of prominent Saudis. According to recent news reports, a wealthy young Saudi couple fled their home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida, just a week or so before Sept. 11, 2001, leaving behind three cars and nearly all of their possessions. "There are many unanswered questions and they should be answered," Moore says. He also was targeted by his critics for this film. Moore talks about how the Bush administration worried the movie would hurt Bush's re-election chances, and how he found out that he ranked second behind then-President Bush on the number of discovered plots to attack him.

HistoryCommons.org has been offline the last few days, including the Complete 9/11 Timeline, as we reported early morning 9/11 as part of our story about the CIA threatening the "9/11: Press for Truth" filmmakers. It is a relief to report this morning that the site is once again available.
If you have not been aware or taken advantage of this astounding research tool, or participated in the development of this "experiment in open-content civic journalism," I encourage you to do so. The 32 individual timelines hosted at HistoryCommons offer an astounding wealth of information drawn from the media on subjects such as the events on 9/11, it's environmental effects, anthrax, Iraq war, neocon influences on US politics, George W. Bush's treatment of American troops, electoral politics, and much more.
Students often write to me asking where and how to start researching on some aspect of 9/11 or related matter for class projects and research papers; HistoryCommons.org is where I tell them to start. Not only is the information presented in a comprehensible manner, every single entry is thoroughly sourced. I challenge anyone to review what's at HistoryCommons.org and maintain their belief that people asking questions are lunatics or morons.
Thank you, Paul Thompson and all of you who dedicate your time, voluntarily, to civic journalism and assembling this incredibly valuable historical record. I know our posterity will thank you, as well. Welcome back!

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Ten years after al Qaeda's attack on the United States,
the vast majority of the 9/11 Commission's investigative records remain sealed
at the National Archives in Washington, even though the commission had directed
the archives to make most of the material public in 2009, Reuters has learned.
The National Archives' failure to release the material presents a hurdle for
historians and others seeking to plumb one of the most dramatic events in modern
American history.
The 575 cubic feet of records were in large part the basis for the commission's
public report, issued July 22, 2004. The commission, formally known as the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, was established by Congress
in late 2002 to investigate the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks, the pre-attack
effectiveness of intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and the government's emergency response.
In a Reuters interview this week, Matt Fulgham, assistant director of the archives'
center for legislative affairs which has oversight of the commission documents,
said that more than a third of the material has been reviewed for possible release.
But many of those documents have been withheld or heavily redacted, and the
released material includes documents that already were in the public domain,
such as press articles.
Commission items still not public include a 30-page summary of an April 29,
2004 interview by all… Continue reading

IF YOU THINK that on the 10th anniversary you know the whole story of 9/11 – and here I'm addressing conspiracy-minded "truthers" and the 13 percent who approved of the job Dick Cheney did as vice president – actually, you don't.
Time has upheld the broad story line of how hijackers loyal to Osama bin Laden hijacked four planes and killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001 – claims about holograms being used to attack buildings instead of jetliners notwithstanding. At the same time, the dictum of famed investigative reporter I.F. Stone about all governments – i.e., they lie – is no less true about 9/11 than any other event.
Here are 10 questions about 9/11 that remain unanswered.
Richard Clarke, the national counterterrorism czar on 9/11, thinks so. In an interview for an upcoming radio documentary, Clarke claimed that top-level CIA officials deliberately withheld from the White House and the FBI knowledge as early as 2000 that two al Qaeda members – Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar – were living in San Diego.
The former anti-terror chief said he believes that the CIA kept the info under wraps because it wanted to recruit the two Saudis to serve as double agents within bin Laden's organization. Instead, the two terrorists ended up hijackers on American Flight 77. George Tenet, who was CIA director, claims that Clarke… Continue reading

August 24, 2011 Information Clearing House — — -In a few days it will be the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001. How well has the US government's official account of the event held up over the decade?
Not very well. The chairman, vice chairman, and senior legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission wrote books partially disassociating themselves from the commission's report. They said that the Bush administration put obstacles in their path, that information was withheld from them, that President Bush agreed to testify only if he was chaperoned by Vice President Cheney and neither were put under oath, that Pentagon and FAA officials lied to the commission and that the commission considered referring the false testimony for investigation for obstruction of justice.
In their book, the chairman and vice chairman, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote that the 9/11 Commission was "set up to fail." Senior counsel John Farmer, Jr., wrote
that the US government made "a decision not to tell the truth about what happened," and that the NORAD "tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public." Kean said, "We to this day don't know why NORAD told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth."
Most of the questions from the 9/11 families were not answered. Important witnesses were not called. The commission only heard from those who supported the government's account. The commission was a controlled political operation,… Continue reading
Just one of the Legacies of 9/11
by Kevin Fenton Boilingfrogs
Two of the terrorist hijackers who flew a jet into the Pentagon, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, communicated while they were in the United States to other members of al Qaeda who were overseas. But we didn't know they were here, until it was too late.
The authorization I gave the National Security Agency (NSA) after September the 11th helped address that problem in a way that is fully consistent with my constitutional responsibilities and authorities. The activities I have authorized make it more likely that killers like these 9/11 hijackers will be identified and located in time.
-President Bush, December 17, 2005
In the aftermath of 9/11, reams of newsprint were given over to discussing the CIA and FBI failures before the attacks; the agency had some of the hijackers under surveillance and allegedly lost them, the bureau was unable even to inform its own acting director of the Zacarias Moussaoui case. However, the USA's largest and most powerful intelligence agency, the National Security Agency, got a free ride. There was no outcry over its failings, no embarrassing Congressional hearings for its director. Yet, as we will see, the NSA's performance before 9/11 was shocking.
It is unclear when the NSA first intercepted a call by one of the nineteen hijackers. Reporting indicates it began listening in on telephone calls to the home of Pentagon hijacker Khalid Almihdhar's wife some time around late 1996. However, although Almihdhar certainly… Continue reading

And he's just — he's a person who's now been marginalized. … I just don't spend that much time on him… we haven't heard much from him. And I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I — I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.

NEW YORK, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Confounding lawyers and legal scholars all over the world, Judge John Walker, first cousin of former President George W. Bush, was one of three judges of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to hear argument Tuesday in Gallop v. Cheney, Rumsfeld and Myers.
The lawsuit was brought by a soldier injured during the attack on the Pentagon and accuses former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers, of conspiring to facilitate the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
The attacks killed 3000 Americans, plus many who have died from the toxic clean-up conditions at Ground Zero.
Attorney William Veale, acting for April Gallop, learned of the assignment the usual 5 days before the argument, and filed a motion to disqualify Judge Walker.
There was no prior decision regarding the motion, and when Veale asked about it in court the motion was denied by Judge Winter. Veale then requested a continuance to seek appellate review of the court's ruling but that was denied as well.
Argument followed but Walker, and fellow judges Cabranes and Winter diverted attention to whether Veale, former Chief Assistant Public Defender, and lecturer in Criminal Trial Practice at the University of California, Boalt Hall, was properly licensed to practice before the court.
The Tuesday appeal followed a ruling by then District Court Judge Denny Chin, dismissing… Continue reading

The Obama administration's decision to use a military tribunal rather than a federal criminal court to try alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others means the real motives behind the 9/11 attacks may remain obscure.
The Likud Lobby and their allied U.S. legislators can chalk up a significant victory for substantially shrinking any opportunity for the accused planners of 9/11 to tell their side of the story.
What? I sense some bristling. "Their side of the story?" Indeed! We've been told there is no "their side of the story."
For years, President George W. Bush got away with offering up the risible explanation that they "hate our freedoms." The stenographers of the White House press corps may have had to suppress smiles but silently swallowed the "they-hate-us-for-our-freedoms" rationale.
The only journalist I can recall stepping up and asking, in effect, "Come on; now really; it's important; why do the really hate us" was the indomitable Helen Thomas.
In January 2010, just weeks after the "underpants bomber" tried to down an airliner over Detroit, President Barack Obama asked White House counter-terrorism guru, John Brennan, to field questions from the White House press.
Helen Thomas took the opportunity to ask why the would-be bomber did what he did. The exchange with Brennan is, hopefully, more instructive than it is depressing — highlighting a limited mindset still stuck in bromides.
Thomas: "Why do they want to do us harm? And what is the motivation?… Continue reading

It was another important moment in the education of Barack Obama.
He began his presidency with a pledge to close the military prison at Guantánamo Bay within a year. Within months, he realized that was impossible. And now he has essentially formalized George W. Bush's detention policy.
With Monday's announcement that the Obama administration will resume military tribunals at Gitmo, conservatives rushed out triumphant I-told-you-sos. Liberal supporters were again feeling betrayed. Administration officials had some 'splainin' to do.
And so they assembled some top-notch lawyers from across the executive branch and held a conference call Monday afternoon with reporters. The ground rules required that the officials not be identified, which is appropriate given their Orwellian assignment. They were to argue that Obama's new detention policy is perfectly consistent with his old detention policy.
Not only had he revoked his pledge to close Gitmo within a year, but he also had contradicted his claim that the policy "can't be based simply on what I or the executive branch decide alone." His executive order did exactly what he said must not be done, in a style pioneered by Obama's immediate predecessor in the Oval Office.
"This detention without trial – what's different from the Bush administration?" a French reporter from Le Monde asked during the call.
Good question. The answer, from the Anonymous Lawyers, was technical. "We have a much more thorough process here of representation. . . .… Continue reading

In March, 2002, American citizen Jose Padilla was arrested in Chicago and publicly accused by then-Attorney-General John Ashcroft of being "The Dirty Bomber." Shortly thereafter, he was transferred to a military brig in South Carolina, where he was held for almost two years completely incommunicado (charged with no crime and denied all access to the outside world, including even a lawyer) and was brutally tortured, both physically and psychologically. All of this — including the torture — was carried out pursuant to orders from President Bush, Secretary Rumsfeld and other high-ranking officials. Just as the Supreme Court was about to hear Padilla's plea to be charged or released — and thus finally decide if the President has the power to imprison American citizens on U.S. soil with no charges of any kind — the Government indicted him in a federal court on charges far less serious than Ashcroft had touted years earlier, causing the Supreme Court to dismiss Padilla's arguments as "moot"; Padilla was then convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Padilla — like so many other War on Terror detainees — has spent years in American courts trying unsuccessfully to hold accountable the high-level government officials responsible for his abuse and lawless imprisonment (which occurred for years prior to his indictment). Not only has Padilla (and all other detainees) failed to obtain redress for what was done to them, but worse, they have been entirely denied even… Continue reading

Sometimes the hypocrisy is just overwhelming. So, it probably shouldn't surprise us that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would deliver a speech hailing the peaceful protests that changed Egypt while 71-year-old Ray McGovern was roughed up and dragged away for standing quietly in protest of her support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"So this is America," said McGovern as he was hustled from the room by two security guards. "This is America."
McGovern, a former Army intelligence officer and a 27-year veteran of the CIA, was wearing a "Veterans for Peace" t-shirt and, according to witnesses, was standing silently with his back to Secretary Clinton before he was set upon by the two agents who bruised, bloodied and handcuffed McGovern, a cancer survivor. [For video, see below.]
McGovern, who writes for Consortiumnews.com, has been detained at other events protesting both the illegality of U.S. wars and the hypocrisy of demanding accountability for others but not for senior U.S. officials implicated in war crimes, like the torture authorized by former President George W. Bush and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney.
For instance, last December, McGovern joined a Veterans for Peace protest at the White House, which he described in an article "Thoughts at the White House Fence."
In the article, McGovern described thinking about "Casey Sheehan and 4,429 other U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, and the 491 U.S. troops killed this year in Afghanistan (bringing that total to 1,438). And their… Continue reading

Susan Lindauer is a former U.S. Intelligence Asset, accused as an "Iraqi Agent" for opposing the war. Her new book, "EXTREME PREJUDICE–The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq" relates her ordeal facing secret charges and secret evidence on the Patriot Act, and the shocking conditions of her imprisonment on a Texas military base without a trial, threatened with indefinite detention and forcible drugging.
If only I'd known Julian Assange, everything would have been different.
Mine was a spook's world of black ops and counter-terrorism. The real stuff–not color coded threats. For a decade I performed as a covert back channel to Libya and Iraq at the United Nations in support of anti-terrorism.
My special access made me one of the very few Assets covering Baghdad before the War. Our team started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libyan diplomats. We also held preliminary talks to resume the weapons inspections with Iraq's Ambassador, Dr. Saeed Hasan. Once Baghdad agreed to rigorous U.S. conditions for transparency in the inspections, I notified the Security Council myself, and within 72 hours the UN invited Iraq to attend formal talks to ratify the technical language. By then it was a done deal. Contrary to official reports, Iraq always welcomed the return of weapons inspectors as a necessary step to ending the sanctions. Ordinary people just didn't know it.

Memoirs reveal former US president gave order to shoot down any hijacked planes before United Airlines flight 93 crashed.
by James Meikle
29 October 2010
George Bush initially believed the only plane not to reach its intended target during the 11 September attacks had been shot down on his orders, according to leaks from the former president's memoir of his two terms in office.
Bush reveals that he gave the order for any further suspected hijacked planes to be shot down after the first aircraft were flown into the World Trade Centre in New York during the 2001 terror attacks.
He at first thought the crash of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania had resulted from this instruction, although it later emerged that passengers had stormed the cockpit as hijackers flew the plane towards the Capitol building in Washington.
The memoir, Decision Points, is due to be published on 9 November, in the aftermath of the US midterm elections, and Bush is already lined up for interviews on the Oprah Winfrey and NBC Today shows.

NEW YORK, Sep 27, 2010 (IPS) – Hundreds of people who believe they were falsely detained and imprisoned by the Department of Justice in the wake of the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks are now seeking redress through the U.S. courts.
The exact number of detainees is unclear, as no lists were ever released publicly. But according to a report by the Office of the Inspector General in 2002, 475 9/11 detainees were arrested and detained in New York and New Jersey. Hundreds more were arrested across the country.
Some of these men are plaintiffs in a federal class action lawsuit against former Attorney General John Ashcroft and other top officials in the administration of President George W. Bush (2001-2009) who were responsible for their illegal roundup, abuse and detention.
The suit charges that the detainees were kept in solitary confinement with the lights on 24 hours a day; placed under a communications blackout so that they could not seek the assistance of their attorneys, families and friends; subjected to physical and verbal abuse; forced to endure inhumane conditions of confinement; and obstructed in their efforts to practice their religion.
Some of the abuse included beatings, repeated strip searches and sleep deprivation. The allegations of inhumane and degrading treatment have been substantiated by two reports of the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General, and several defendants in the case have been convicted on federal charges of cover-ups and beatings of other prisoners around the same time… Continue reading

RT filmed this emotional footage of 9/11 first responders pouring their hearts out at a speech just blocks away from where the twin towers fell. The rally was in response to Congress defeating a federal bill that would have provided billions of dollars in health care for those sickened by toxins released by the collapse of the World Trade Center towers Sept. 11, 2001.
"As the tragic deaths of the 343 members of the New York Fire Department on 9/11 make plain, America's first responders are on the front line of this war," McCain said.
"Whatever happened to supporting our nation's heroes?" the video asks before dissolving into a scene of President George Bush at ground zero.
They passed symbolic legislation to honor first reponders:
That the House of Representatives supports first responders in the United States in their efforts to prepare for and respond to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters, and affirms the goals and ideals of National First Responder Appreciation Day to honor and celebrate the contributions and sacrifices made by all first responders in the United States.
And yet, first responders have had to fight for medical help for more than a decade:

Since this board also deals with weaving

I thought you might get a kick out of this newspaper article:
Weaving as art -- and stress relief -- at CityArts
Anne Marie Brown came to fiber arts as a youngster, the way many folks do -- her mom taught her needlepoint and stitchery and made sure she signed up for sewing classes.
But when Brown moved to Wichita from Iowa in 1995 to become operations manager for the Wichita Symphony, she discovered CityArts -- and a more adventurous take on traditional weaving and sewing.
Two wool tapestries and a wool "fan" sculpture by Brown are included in "Fiber, Paper, Glass: Hand & Breath," an exhibit on view through Wednesday at CityArts, 334 N. Mead, in Old Town.
The exhibit also features art quilts, aprons made from paper and dryer sheets (by Brenda Jones), fiber paintings and sculpture made of glass, wire, fiber and sticks.
Brown takes weaving classes at CityArts one night a week. It took her about four months to complete her tapestries -- each about the size of a bath mat, each featuring abstract shapes against a background of brown or black. The designs are simple, uncluttered -- with warm, contrasting colors.
Brown also took pottery classes at CityArts, but switched to fiber because of an injury.
"I've discovered I'd rather work totally in wool," Brown said. "Weaving is old-fashioned. You can control what it is going to look like. Also, when you beat on it to get the fiber in tight, it is a stress-reliever. You pretend you are beating somebody up."

I am currently waiting on my CCW Permit and have been looking for a holster for the SP101 I do plan on buying soon. My question is this... For folks who do own this holster does the holster stay in your pocket when you draw your weapon or does it come out with your weapon?
I am wondering if it does stay put what prevents it from coming out when you draw?

Scared of the future while I hop in the DeLorean
from Kanye West – Good Morning Lyrics on Genius
A reference to the classic 1980s trilogy Back to the Future
In the Back to the Future series, protaganists Marty Mcfly and Doctor Emmett Brown use a time-traveling DeLorean.
In Back to the Future II they use it to travel to the future. Similarly, Kanye isn't afraid of the future as he knows his career will continue strong.
While the valedictorians are scared of the future because they are usually good at school, not real life — tieing it to the previous line.
