"9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out" is getting public attention and casting doubt on the scientific validity of the U.S. government's investigation into the WTC tragedy. PBS is the first major network to air the program.
Just days away from the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy and months away from the U.S. presidential election, a game-changing 9/11 documentary is ranking number three among "most watched" documentaries on PBS and number one among "most shared." Available for free online August 18th – September 4th, the documentary could have a significant effect on public opinion. [Update: PBS has extended viewing indefinitely.] Both the Republicans and Democrats, as equally staunch defenders of the official story, stand to be affected if the public's suspicion of government corruption grows deeper.
An earlier report on Digital Journal found that the claims made in the documentary can be verified by reading the government reports themselves. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the government agency charged with the investigation, did not provide any data — no measurements or estimates — of the mass or energy that would be required to bring down the buildings in about ten seconds. Normally a scientific report would present all the data that is used to construct a theory. The omission of data is a red flag to anyone familiar with scientific procedure. It appears that the investigators may have intentionally produced reports that the scientific community would reject.… Continue reading
Five days of exciting and informative events are planned across the country for the 9/11 anniversary this year, beginning in New York City on September 8 and culminating at the University of Maryland on September 12.
In addition, there will be 9/11 events happening throughout the country, including local screenings of the new 1-hour version of our groundbreaking documentary, 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, which has just been uploaded to YouTube!
One of these local screenings will be at the annual 9/11 Truth film festival in Oakland, CA, organized by NCA911Truth.
The University of Maryland seems dedicated to also enlighten their academic community about what really caused the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7, as they are bringing in AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA to speak to 200 students on Sept 12. See below for more details.
These street actions, film festivals, and 9/11 symposiums will bring AE911Truth together with 9/11 experts, government whistleblowers, influential activists and media sources that are calling for a new 9/11 investigation. Join us and tell your friends!
New York City, September 8-11
The events in New York City begin with street actions at Ground Zero on September 8, where activists will distribute DVDs, 9/11 Investigator newspapers, WTC evidence cards, and other 9/11 Truth materials to the public. See GroundZero911.com for details.
On September 9, Gage will be one of the featured speakers, along with Experts Speak Out psychologist Robert Griffin, CIA whistleblower Susan Lindauer, investigative reporter Wayne Madsen, broadcast journalist Joe Calhoun, and activist Frank Morales, for How the World Changed After 9/11: A Symposium of Critical Thinkers, the third annual 9/11 Truth conference in New York City.
AE911Truth will be delivering a new presentation at this event called Finding the Hero Within: Lessons from a 9/11 Whistleblower. It will accent the character development of the new "emerging patriot" who is called upon to relentlessly pursue and speak the truth about 9/11.
"We are very excited to give the new talk that we will soon be bringing to students around the country," Gage said. "Thanks to a few of our gracious donors, campus activities directors from coast to coast will see the 10-minute preview of this new presentation at regional college speaking conferences this fall, and we anticipate that they will decide to bring our newly packaged and vital message to their universities."
Gage we will also be introducing and screening our 15-minute documentary "Solving the Mystery" with Ed Asner starring in the power-packed short about World Trade Center 7. This will occur at yet another unique 3-day New York event in the history of 9/11 events, "Pause / Press Play" at the Kraft Center. Other film makers and speakers such as Penny Little, creator of "9/11 Dust: A Healing Journey". The event is all about healing from the tragic events of 9/11. To that end we will be also screening the trailer of our new documentary 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, which will be pre-viewed and discussed in the topic "We Need the Truth in Order to Heal" on 9/10/12 at 4pm. We will be emphasizing what can be done in order to promote long-lasting healing with this critical information.
New York City will also host the 1st annual Off the Radar Film Festival, which runs from September 8-11 and culminates on the anniversary with a screening of the Final Edition of our Experts Speak Out at the Walker Stage. Gage will introduce the film and answer questions from the audience following the showing of the film, as he has throughout the recent 32-City World Premiere Tour of Experts Speak Out.

Journal of 9/11 Studies
For the 11th anniversary of September 11, the Journal of 9/11 Studies would like to share a series of letters from thoughtful people who have reflected on the tragic events of that day. Five letters were published today, from the following individuals.
Lorie Van Auken is a founding member of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee. Without her dedication there would never have been a 9/11 Commission investigation.
Gregg Fishman is Secretary of the World Trade Center Rescuers Foundation. Like others he represents, Gregg risked his life and health in an attempt to rescue and recover victims following the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings.
Father Frank Morales is an Episcopal priest, activist, and author from New York City. He was present at Ground Zero shortly after the 9/11 events, offering prayers for the victims and support for the first responders.
David Johnson is Professor Emeritus of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Johnson served as a panelist at the Toronto Hearings on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He has investigated the events of September 11, 2001 and his writings on that and other subjects have attracted a worldwide following.
A similar number of letters from other contributors will be published later this week. We hope that the words and… Continue reading

New 9/11 Timeline Entries: Hijacking Exercises, Air Force One's Movements, Laura Bush on Sept. 11, and More
History Commons is only halfway towards its summer fundraising goal. Please contribute generously to help the History Commons stay alive and functioning.
A large number of entries have been added to the Complete 9/11 Timeline at History Commons, most of which provide new details about the events of the day of September 11, 2001.
Other entries are being posted in the US Civil Liberties project on campaign finance, voting laws, and indefinite detentions.
New 9/11 Entries
One new timeline entry describes a training exercise based on the scenario of a possible terrorist attack that was run on the morning of September 11 by the US Coast Guard in Tampa Bay, Florida, quite close to Sarasota, where the president was at the time. Another entry deals with a meeting scheduled to take place at the Pentagon that morning, regarding a planned "disaster exercise" at the nearby Navy Annex building.
An entry reveals that a number of FBI agents had, for reasons that are unknown, already arrived at the Navy Annex when the Pentagon was hit. Later on, the Navy set up a new command center at the Navy Annex, after its original command center was destroyed in the Pentagon attack.

Recently, I wrote a petition for people to sign called a "Statement For 9/11 Justice." (Review and sign here.)
As of right now, there are 278 signatures. Not bad considering it was posted 5 days ago. Some of the people that have signed it that you may have heard of are 9/11 Family Member Lorie Van Auken, 9/11 Family Member Donna Marsh O'Connor, 9/11 First Responder Reggie Cervantes, 9/11 Whistleblowers Coleen Rowley and Sibel Edmonds, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Dahlia Wasfi, John Judge, Daniel Sunjata, and journalists Pepe Escobar, William Rivers Pitt, and Jeremy R. Hammond.
A big thank you to them for lending their names to this statement.
The reason I wrote this statement was because I believe it is imperative that one like it exists. I believe we need to collectively put our feet down on this issue. Our media and our politicians will not tell the people the truth, so it is up to us to do so. The killing and the dying needs to stop, and the loss of our civil liberties needs to stop. The world needs to know there is no justification for any of it.
I am hoping this statement goes viral. I am hoping that millions sign it. Can you imagine how powerful a statement that would be? I am hoping that people still care enough to do so.
I can't get people to sign this on my own. I need your help. Please… Continue reading

Very interesting interview with Bill Bergman who worked at the Chicago Federal Reserve for over 13 years as an economist and financial markets policy analyst.
As with many others in a wide range of fields, when he started asking questions his employment position was no longer needed.
Here is the interview: (The interview begins at 2:58, ends 9:57)
Source: http://youtu.be/EG6ohMJ0mow.
Bill Bergman-a former Federal Reserve (Chicago branch) economist and policy analyst, who has raised concerns about unusual currency transactions pre- 9-11—-including billions in one hundred dollar bills, is the guest this week on the Robert Wenzel Show.
Bergman worked at the Chicago Federal Reserve for over 13 years as an economist and financial markets policy analyst, until he started asking questions about unusual currency movements before 9-11. On the show we talk about what happened to him, after he started his investigation.
We also talk about how the Fed's Biege Book is assembled, the trillion plus dollars sitting at the Fed as excess reserves, the LIBOR "scandal," Warren Buffet and much more.

Since the first national security letter statute was passed in 1986, the FBI has issued hundreds of thousands of such letters seeking private telecommunications and financial records of Americans without any prior approval from courts. Indeed, for the period between 2003 and 2006 alone, almost 200,000 requests for private customer information were sought pursuant to various NSL statutes. Prior to 2011, the constitutionality of this legal authority to investigate the records of Americans without court oversight had been challenged in court — as far as we know — exactly one time. EFF is today releasing FBI-redacted briefing from a major new ongoing case in which it is challenging one of the NSL statutes on behalf of a telecommunications company that received an NSL in 2011. Not only does this briefing show that the Department of Justice continues to strongly protect the FBI's NSL authority, it highlights a startlingly aggressive new tactic used by the Department of Justice: suing NSL recipients who challenge the FBI's authority, arguing that court challenges to such authority themselves amount to breaking the law.
National security letter statutes — five in all — are controversial laws that allow the FBI to easily bypass courts and issue administrative letters on their own authority to telecommunications companies and financial institutions demanding information about their customers. The NSL statutes permit the FBI to permanently gag service providers from revealing the fact that the demand was made, preventing them from… Continue reading

President Obama has usurped all available forms of communication for use and discretion of the US government. Under an Executive Order (June 6, 2012) entitled Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions, Obama has enabled the executive branch to control communications "under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies, and improve national resilience." (For full text of the Executive Order, seen Annex below).
Radio and wired communications systems "of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) communications policies, programs, and capabilities."
Cellular phone corporations like Sprint owned Boost Mobile have released messages to their customers concerning the US government's allocation of their phone communications at the whim of the President. In a text message to customers, Boost Mobile said that: ". . . you can receive national and local emergency alerts directly on your phone."
Back in 2011, Hillary Clinton admitted that the US government, via the mainstream media, is losing their "information war" with the American public. As alternative media becomes more prevalent, the propaganda must be taken up a notch in order to keep the masses onboard with the agendas of the US government.
Danny Schechter, filmmaker and investigative journalist, explains that MSM cannot compete with the alternative media. Schechter says that "America feels on the defensive because it can no longer" monopolize the thoughts of citizens domestically and abroad. Since the US government thinks "its point of view is the only point of view" these new news outlets are "extremely damaging" to the US continual purveyance of propaganda.
The Presidential Alert was announced in August of 2011, wherein the Commissioners for the FCC required that television, radio stations and cable systems (including satellites) will redirect broadcasting if the President wants to "alert Americans of impending danger". Continue reading

Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox
Recently, I have started to talk to the "progressives" in this country about addressing the lies and cover-ups of 9/11.
In a talk I gave in Fresno recently, I said that "progressives" were afraid of losing their "pulpits" if they address the 9/11 issue.
I'm sorry, but this selfish reason is the best explanation I can think of as to why they don't (or, I could say that they are paid shills for the CIA, etc… but I'm not a "Conspiracy Theorist"). The lies and cover-ups of 9/11 are so glaringly obvious that when someone who supposedly stands for truth, justice, and accountability doesn't address them, I have to ask why.
As I said in my talk, the media has worked very hard to make anyone that questions the official account of 9/11 the equivalent of a dog torturer or a baby killer. Losing one's "pulpit" because of being painted with the "9/11 Truth Brush" is the best explanation I can think of.
Years ago (before the media had a chance to have its anti-9/11 Truth campaign), MANY "progressives" were supportive of the cause for 9/11 Justice. People like Howard Zinn (RIP), Michael Badnarik, Medea Benjamin, David Cobb, Daniel Ellsberg, Janeane Garofalo, Stan Goff, Thom Hartmann, Rob Kall, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader, and many others. This is no longer the case (with few exceptions for sure).
I was told today that "Social justice, anti war, environment, political reform = 1 movement. (And all doomed to fail, until everyone involved learns that fact.)" I think this person is right.

We have a new format at the Journal of 9/11 Studies. As before, there are over 60 peer-reviewed articles, nearly 70 letters, and a section for those just beginning to look into the unanswered question of 9/11.
There are two new entries in the letter section.
The first is a detailed paper by Dr. Frank Legge entitled The 9/11 Attack on the Pentagon: the Search for Consensus.
The second is a letter written last year by the board of directors of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, addressed to Sir Paul Nurse of the Royal Society of London.
Unfortunately, Sir Paul and the Royal Society could not be troubled to respond. If you're wondering why, the Society's contact page is at this link.
The journal has also signed an agreement with a major distributor of academic content. As a result, the articles and letters in the Journal of 9/11 Studies will begin to see a wider audience.

This is a fictional story showing how the last vestiges of the republic, your personal wealth and gold could disappear in 24 hours.
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." – Frank Zappa
Several weeks ago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Obama's sudden executive order favoring illegal aliens. This was just one of many presidential executive orders and actually not a big deal but this tool will likely be the legal mechanism used to financially lock down America similar to the way a warden limits privileges and movement in a prison complex. Executive orders, unless they are challenged, can allow a president to rule by decree. This is basically what our once great republic has been reduced to.
Presidential Executive Orders Are the Greatest Threat To Our Nation
Many presidents have used the power of presidential executive orders but among the most harmful were Franklin Roosevelt's Executive Order 6102 signed on April 5, 1933 that authorized the confiscation of private gold and Executive Order 9066 imprisoning 110,000 Japanese Americans in "War Relocation Camps." Lincoln also issued countless executive orders authorizing arrest and imprisonment of opposition newspaper reporters and editors as well as suspending the writ of habeas corpus widely across the Union.…

Hot Air Day is upon us. On July 4 hot air will spew forth all over the country as dignitaries deliver homilies to our "freedom and democracy" and praise "our brave troops" who are protecting our freedom by "killing them over there before they come over here."
Not a single one of these speeches will contain one word of truth. No speaker will lament the death of the US Constitution or urge his audience to action to restore the only document that protects their liberty. No speaker will acknowledge that in the 21st century the Bush/Obama Regime, with the complicity of the Department of Justice, federal courts, Congress, presstitute media, law schools, bar associations, and an insouciant public have murdered the Constitution in the name of the "war on terror."
As in medieval times, American citizens can be thrown into dungeons and never accounted for. No evidence or charges need be presented to a court. No trial is required, and no conviction.
As in tyrannies, US citizens can be executed at the sole discretion of the despot in the Oval Office, who sits there drawing up lists of people to be murdered.
Protestors exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association are attacked by armed police, beaten, tasered, tear-gassed, pepper sprayed, and arrested.
Whistleblowers who report the government's crimes are prosecuted despite the statute that protects them.
US soldier Bradley Manning, who allegedly gave Wikileaks the documents… Continue reading

Cartoon was misleading
A newspaper is supposed to be informative, with definitive facts for an intelligent reader to consider. In this tech age of terrible financial outcomes for newspapers, you would think that someone would actually be fact checking.
How could you publish such misinformation as you did within the May 30 editorial cartoon? It highlighted a comment that has the Internal Revenue Service stating, "We flagged you because social nonprofits are not supposed to be political."
And the supposed answer from the Tea Party (identified as Tea Bag Patriots, by the way, which is a derogatory and offensive term and shows the horrendous bias from the get-go) was, "What makes you think we're political?"
My point is that the stated "rule" for nonprofits within that cartoon is untrue. And the reader who has no knowledge of IRS directives and actions might accept that lie as if it were fact. Political nonprofit organizations have tax-exempt status directives.
I am not a Tea Party member but would be appalled by any such use of IRS thuggery against any group or individual.

Unhappy with county eye in sky
As a Will County Board member, it has come to my attention that the county is using aerial photos of property as well as pictures taken of private property without permission as a tool in code enforcement. Citations are being written based on these photos.
I find this to be a violation of the 4th, 5th and 14th amendments to the Constitution. I am sure those at the county land use department will disagree, and the state's attorney's office has not made a ruling as of yet on the legality of such photo taking.
I don't believe the intent of the county board is for code enforcement to use these tactics. Would you say it is legal for someone to take a picture of your family swimming in your pool from a ladder at the end of your street? Is it legal for government to take the same picture without a warrant?
Instead of taking a picture of your family, your county government is taking a picture of your deck, shed, pool, windows, etc., as it looks for building code violations. It's Big Government getting bigger at the expense of property owners.

Tier 5 Benefit Information
State Correction Officers and SHTAs in the Office of Mental Health
Benefits of New York State correction officers in the special 25-year plan are not affected by Tier 5, except in the instances outlined below. Correction officers who have 25 years of creditable service may still retire at any age with unreduced benefits, if they retire directly from an institution under the jurisdiction of the New York State Department of Correctional Services. Disability and death benefits are also not changed by Tier 5.
Membership Tier
There are no Tier 4 New York State correction officers or security hospital treatment assistants. Those who joined July 27, 1976 through December 31, 2009 are Tier 3 members; those who joined January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2012 are Tier 5 members.
Member Contributions
Tier 5 correction officers must contribute 3 percent of their salary for 30 years or until retirement, whichever occurs first.
Tier 5 correction officers must have ten years of service credit to be vested and eligible for retirement benefits.
Reduction for Early Retirement
Benefit reductions for Tier 5 correction officers who retire prior to age 62 with less than 25 years of service credit are greater than those under Tier 3. The benefit reduction at age 55 increased from 30 percent to 38.33 percent. Reductions are prorated by month. The closer the member's retirement date is to age 62, the less the reduction will be.
Overtime Limitation
Overtime pay in excess of an annual cap is not included in the definition of wages. Employers should not report to the Retirement System any overtime pay in excess of this cap as it cannot be used in a member's final average salary calculation.
The overtime cap for calendar year 2013 is $16,390.91. The maximum reportable overtime increases by 3 percent each calendar year thereafter.

How long have we all been waiting on this movie? Oh, only for 18 seasons! Yep, that's how long Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa and Maggie have been on the air in TV land, and now, at last, the Simpsons and their wacky fellow Springfieldians are headed to the big screen. The plot? Well, it's been kept pretty hush hush, though if you've seen those hilarious trailers and TV commercials, you know that it involves the Simpsons clan having to save the town from well, something and that Homer seems to spend an awful lot of time with his new pet pig, who he's nicknamed both "Spider-Pig" and "Harry Plotter." Can't WAIT to see the story behind Homie's piggy!

Reviewed Broccoli Slaw
Jul 18, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com

After suffering a DNF in his heat race, former tour champion Travis Johnson of Enid, OK. worked his way through the field, took the lead just past the races midway point and never looked back in claiming the season opener for the NCRA Racing Series of Park City, Ks. Sunday night.
Cleo Adams and former two-time tour champion Chad McNamara started on the front row for the twenty lap feature with McNamara taking the lead as the green flag fell. However the start would be quickly waved off as Andrew Wallace and Chris Balthrop got together on the front stretch.
The complete restart was much the same as the original with McNamara jumping out front in his familiar #327 as Adams, defending champion Mark Harrison and Darrel Thompson gave chase. The leader would open a three car length advantage before Andy Deterding got together with another car and spun off the top of turn two on lap five.
Another caution fell on lap seven and on the double file restart, Adams pulled even with McNamara and would jump into the lead exiting turns one and two. Johnson, who had worked himself up from his thirteenth starting position, took over the runner up spot from McNamara and set his sights on the leader.
On the final restart, Adams tried to get by the leader but there was no stopping Johnson on this night as he cruised to his 11th career NCRA Sport Mod Series victory and third at 81 Speedway.

The design blogosphere has been abuzz with Fuseproject's announcement of their creative collaboration with Santa Rosa's SyCip Designs, which they've dubbed "LOCAL." The design is credited to Fuseproject founder Yves Behar, though it's rumored that Jeremy SyCip had been considering a three-wheeled design for some time now, his first in over two decades in the framebuilding game.

The Festival was started in 1987. The first two years the Festival was held at USCB with only 10 trees. Then from 1990 it was held at the Armory for 10 years until it moved to The Shed in Port Royal for one year in 2000. Since 2001 it has been held at the Lynn Brown Neighborhood Activity Center, formerly the Green Street Gym. In the beginning the Festival only raised a few thousand dollars and now it has grown to average $90,000.00 a year! The Festival has been privileged to have been organized by such wonderful leaders as Margaret Baker, Veronica Tovey, Mary Hill, Dee Renwick, Judy Gabriel, Linda Olson, Jack Hayes, Rita Merrill, Karen Harvey, Norma Duncan, Judy Holquist, Jennifer Bailey, Robin Boozer, Courtney Worrell and Sally Mitchell.
2012 marks the 25th year for the Festival of Trees. This year the Festival will have donated over 1 million dollars to FRIENDS of Caroline Hospice!
This extraordinary event has become a tradition of Beaufort, South Carolina's holiday season. All proceeds benefit Friends of Caroline Hospice which provides its services totally free of charge to families in our community who have a loved one struggling with a life threatening illness. Be sure to mark your calendars for this spectacular event for the whole family. You will not want to miss it!

I live in the United States but am originally from Belize in Central America. My heritage is Palestinian, Greek and Spanish.
Belize was a British colony at the time I lived there so my upbringing was heavily influenced by all things British. Whilst I was growing up I never learned to cook. I have an older sister, by 10 years, and she was always the kitchen helper. When I went out into the world I lived off pasta, grilled chicken and boxed convenience dinners.
Spending thirteen years in the hotel industry afforded me the good fortune to travel extensively. I've always been drawn to learning about different cultures and food seems to be the most inherent way of doing so.
I met my English husband while working and living in Eastern Europe. He is a trained chef and is really my inspiration for learning to cook.
Although he never complained about my lack of skills, I realised that it's not too difficult to make good, helathy food that doesn't come out of a box. He never taught me to cook...I sort of learned by watching him, reading his cookbooks and using my imagination. His patience tends to run thin when watching me use a kitchen knife. :-)
Mind you, I am nowhere near as good at cooking as he is. My cooking tends to be more basic whilst he is extremely creative and can create nine course dinner parties in the blink of an eye.
We now live in the U.S. with our two daughters. He is still a chef for a worldwide hotel chain and I am a banker by day....exotic housewife and cook by night. :-)
All of the recipes I have posted have been made and tested by me.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Greek, African......really anything!! Although a good Sunday roast dinner is comforting as well.

Thank you all for birthday wishes, flowers, cards and presents.
The weekend was completely wonderful. On her birthday Ana went out with her family and friends to a nightclub in Belgrade. They had a brilliant time. The following day, Tennis Club Partizan Belgrade organised a birthday party for Ana.
During the ceremony Ana said she is hoping for a top 10 finish next year.
On the picture is Ana with her younger brother Miloš.
a thousand tiny moons
from each tennis ball
I hear them fall --
18th birthday
people ask about my dreams.
Happy birthday Ana!
- haiku by Linda Jeannette Ward (edited)
This was the headline in The Guardian some 6 months ago about Ana's progress last year.
It may well be valid for this season as well.
Ranked 100 when she played her first match this season against Tyra Calderwood (AUS) in Canberra; Ana is now well inside the top 20. It's a big jump; no other player has made such a fast rise this year.
Dear Ana,
I do not know how many South Africans have written to you (I've sent 2 messages before), but I am sure I am your biggest fan amongst all of them! I support you for 2 reasons, i) the excellent game you play, and ii) the fantastic example you set on and off the court - tennis needs and deserve tough but fair competitors like you.
Archive article: Ivanovic's biggest breakthrough may have come just a few weeks ago at the NASDAQ-100 Open in Miami. After an earlier victory against world No.12 Nadia Petrova, Ivanovic defeated a Top 10 player for the first time with a three-set victory against world No.7 Svetlana Kuznetsova.
"I felt a little nervous, but I believed all the time that I could win that match," Ivanovic said. "For me, the most important thing is to stay calm and that it is not important who is the opponent."
Archive article: Hunters of the Ladies' Singles title beware. A teenage Serb is on the prowl and her ferocity so far hasn't spared anyone. On the contrary, with every scalp her appetite seems to be increasing.
On Court 13 today, Ana Ivanovic, the 17-year-old star from Serbia-Montenegro, sent out another winning roar. This time her prey was Stephanie Foretz of France. And again it was a straight sets affair, 6-4, 6-3.
- Sajid Shaikh for wimbledon official website June 2005-
After reaching two semi-finals in her last two tournaments, in Zurich and Linz, Ana's rankings went up to a career best of 16.
Ana now has 1551 points, she moved up one place overtaking Elena Lichtovtsheva by 31 points. Ahead of Ana is Svetlana Kusnetsova with 1646 points.
Ana played much better this time but still not enough to beat Patty Schnyder. Schnyder won their fourth encounter in strait sets 7-5 6-2.
Ana broke Schnyder in the fourth game to go ahead 3-1; Schnyder then slammed her racquet and cut her left hand when the handle bounced up from the court.
Schnyder sought treatment two games later because her hand had become swollen, and she needed painkillers to continue. All this might have distracted Ana because Schnyder came back very strong and took the next three games.
Ana Ivanovic is through to semi-final after beating Tatiana Golovin of France 7-5 6-3.
In a match between two 17-year olds, Ana went 3-0 up but allowed her French opponent to level at 3-3 before breaking again for the set.
In the second set, it was Golovin who took a 3-0 lead, but Ana responded by winning the next six games to reach her second semi-final in two weeks.
Ana will now play fourth-seeded Patty Schnyder of Switzerland, who beat Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia 6-2 6-1.

Ryan Lee, Associate Writer: News & Current Events
Social media networks were saturated last week with a short film entitled "Kony2012," which shone a global spotlight on Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony's merciless treatment of citizens of the African nation over the past three decades. [See video below article]
The documentary and its massive social media campaign – coordinated by the San Diego-based charity Invisible Children – was intended to offend people's sense of justice to the point that they would want to intervene in the Ugandan crisis. However, offensive information is arising about the source of Invisible Children's funding, as its supporters have donated heavily to stop gay marriage in the U.S., and to advocate for the death penalty for homosexuals in Africa.
The U.K.'s Daily Mail identifies Terry and Barbara Caster as chief benefactors of Invisible Children, as is the Georgia-based National Christian Foundation:
The Casters were very prominent in their fight to ban same sex marriage in their home state [California], and their association with the charity has raised questions on the values of both the charity and their donors.
The same questions are raised by the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the National Christian Foundation gave to Invisible Children on a yearly basis.
In addition to giving Invisible Children $350,000 in 2007 and $414,000 in 2008 to the group, the National Christian Foundation also gave money to a number of anti-gay rights groups and proponents.
One such group is Ed Silvoso's Harvest Evangelism, which works with Ugandan author Julius Oyet who actively promotes the Anti-Homosexuality bill in the African country. The bill criminalizes homosexuality and allows for some cases of 'aggravated homosexuality' to be punished by death.
The Kony2012 video has been viewed more than 75 million times, but few of the people who have seen it likely know that the filmmakers, while opposing atrocities in Africa, seem perfectly content accepting money from those who inflict spiritual and psychological warfare on gay folks in America.

Previously in my theories of justice post, I noted that incentives in the NHL tend to favor aggression:
Hockey has a long standing and deeply established culture of violence. A frequent metaphor for the game is war. Perhaps the worst stigma to be stuck with as a hockey player is "soft". The entire bottom-end of modern NHL rosters are built around guys that are described as "tough", "mean", aggressive", "hard to play against" etc. There are NHLers whose career depends on continually out-battling the other guy, as being seen as tougher than the rest, as an aggressor; an intimidator. As a result, their perceived value to the coach and the hockey fraternity as whole depends on attacking the opposition. Indeed coaches and GM's value guys who want to hurt the other team.
Deterring violence and ending acts that endanger health and violate rules is therefore at odds with all sorts of powerful incentives at the other end: namely, is it better to "play with an edge" and risk a few games suspension or not to be in the league at all? To most NHLer's, it's no doubt preferable to be considered a scumbag and wrecker than a good guy who is soft.
Incentives is another word for "reinforcement", which springs from the science of operant conditioning. Behavioral modification began in the realm of classical conditioning or associative learning when Ivan Pavlov showed he could condition dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell. Later, BF Skinner showed that behavior could be learned or extinguished via antecedents or consequences (dubbed "reinforces" and "punishments").
In the NHL, there are numerous positive reinforcements for acting aggressively: fan approval, coaches praise, career advancement, higher pay checks, etc. It is therefore a difficult task to mandate fewer hits – even dangerous ones – when the rewards tend to flow in the counter direction. That said, operant conditioning and the principles of behavior modification offer some paths to follow if the NHL is serious about limiting or extinguishing dangerous plays.
Three relevant factors of that alter the effect of consequences are:
1.) Immediacy
2.) Contingency
3.) Size
Immediacy is the length of time the consequence follows the targeted behavior. The larger the gap between the two, the less effective the consequence is in affecting the behavior. Contingency means the consequence must consistently and reliably follow the behavior in order to be worthwhile: if the consequence is only rarely or unreliably applied, learning will be much slower. Finally, size refers to the degree to which the consequence will be perceived as significant by the target. For example, a fine of $300 versus and fine of $30,000. The bigger the "size" the more likely it is to affect behavior.
The NHL seems to struggle with contingency and size. The poorly constructed and communicated rules governing discipline (aka: "The Wheel of Justice") means that players are never really certain about contingency in the NHL when it comes to punishing hits – what is considered "dangerous" behavior? What will the consequences be for me? Nobody knows for sure and as a result players aren't consistently or aptly deterred from acting overly aggressively (because, remember, they are often rewarded for doing so). Size is the other issue – even when the NHL metes out justice, the consequences are often relatively nominal – small fine or a suspension over a couple of games. In a perpetrators cost-benefit analysis, the size of the punishment must at least be on par or out-weigh the size of the incentives.
As such, the league will likely continue to struggle with discipline until its rules governing dangerous hits/plays become more explicit, more consistently applied and the consequences become more formidable.
The league could potentially be aided in their formulations and considerations of this matter by focusing more on actus reus (the action or objective element of the deed) than mens rea (the mental – or motivational – aspect of the deed). If the goal is extinguish a given behavior (or set of behaviors), then the motivation behind the behavior is actually irrelevant – be it the heat of the moment, pre-mediated or a "hockey play". Negotiating around intent (and therefore the potential villainy of a perpetrator) can overly complicate behavioral modification, especially in an area like hockey where a certain level of violence is not only expected but applauded. The league would likely be far more successful in their efforts if they chose to strictly define the behaviors they want to eliminate and then consistently applied suitably large consequences to those behaviors regardless of the actors perceived intent or motivation. Meaning no more debates about whether an action was a "hockey play" or not. No more considerations paid to whether "he really meant it". Punish the act. Punish it swiftly, consistently and with the awareness that you are battling powerful incentives to act violently. Otherwise behavior modification is unlikely to stick.

Former Sea Ray president has new role
Posted onFormer Sea Ray president Rob Parmentier joined CGI North America as senior vice president of marketing and business development.
"I am very excited to still be a part of the marine industry, especially joining one of the largest banks in the world. I plan to utilize my skills and knowledge to advance CGI North America's place in the industry," Parmentier said in a statement.
Parmentier's previous experience includes managing the Sea Ray and Meridian Yacht brands for Brunswick Corp. He assumed those responsibilities in 2009, having previously served as executive vice president of Sea Ray, overseeing a wide range of responsibilities, which at the time included Meridian, which was integrated into Sea Ray in 2008. He retained responsibility for the Meridian brand, as well as assuming profit and loss responsibility for Sea Ray.
Parmentier joined Sea Ray in 1982 and held a number of positions of increasing responsibility over the years at both the plant and headquarters levels for Sea Ray. Prior to his most recent assignment, Parmentier had been senior vice president of operations, as well as senior vice president and general manager of Sea Ray. He had also been president of Baja Marine before Brunswick sold the company.
"I am thrilled to have Robert join our CGI North America team," CGI global director of boat financing activity Hervé Bonnet said in a statement. "His expertise, his familiarity and standing in the industry will help CGI to maintain its top status among pleasure boat and yacht brands."

HARRISON, Ark. – At a recent Quorum Court meeting, the court approved an appropriation ordinance that will provide funds for inmate health care.
Boone County Sheriff Mike Moore spoke at the meeting saying the funds would be used to enroll his department with Southern Health Partners, a Chattanooga, Tennessee firm specializing in jail health care. Moore reported that on average there are 80-90 people in the Boone County jail at any time.
By state law, the jail is responsible for healthcare and maintenance of inmates.
Boone County Sheriff Mike Moore:
Enrolling in Southern Health Partners would remove the Sheriff's Department from any possible medical liability. SHP would monitor the health of inmates using local health care providers. By enrolling with SHP, the county would save approximately 25-thousand dollars a year.
At the February 18 meeting, the ordinance was passed unanimously.
The cost of the health insurance will be 126-thousand dollars a year.

A major disciple of Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson RiverSchool of Painting, Asher B. Durand believed that nature in the "New World" was imbued with sacred meaning. By contemplating nature, he believed, one could join with the sacred and achieve enlightenment as well. He translated these believes into landscape paintings, especially of the CatskillHighPeaks. Before long, Durand, Cole and others helped forge a national image of an American landscape filled with awe-inspiring scenes.

Yay!! Can't wait to see that "little" (bigger'n mine!) darling full o' water, Fireant! Brenda |
Wow! Now that is a major undertaking. Please post pictures as you progress. Is it about 4 feet deep? |
Thanks for the encouragement, helps the sore joints. No, only 3 feet deep, tried for 4 but this Texas petrified topsoil stopped us. I will add more pics as we go along. I just can't wait to release the fishies. |
She's going to be a beauty. Congrats and can't wait to see her finished. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My pond
Where in Texas are you? Love to see it when you have filled it.. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Our pond project
Here is our pond so far. We still have lots of things left to plant and the landscaping is not finished. We still have to build the "shade arbor" over the deck but this is where we are as of today. |
LOVE that setting, Fireant! The driftwood near and around the top of the falls is great, and your rocks blend in perfectly with the chapparal-like surroundings. I enjoy watching your pond progress. :) Brenda |
Thanks Brenda! It was well worth all the hard work. We still will plant an oak tree to give some shade and a few other plants that I'm still deciding on. I'd like to have it blend in as much as possible. I'll post more pix as it changes. |
Wow, beautiful pond! |
Well, it's been one year and most of the landscaping is finished. Now I've just gotta be patient and wait till things grow abit. |
It looks GREAT, Fireant!! Patience is highly over-rated, though. I have absolutely NONE. LOL Can't wait to see it evolve as everything fills in! Brenda |
Thanks Brenda, I know just what you mean about having no patience, me neither. When it comes to planting things I want to see them like I imagine they will be. This summer I will add another picture when things have grown some. Michelle |
Michelle, could you give us a few more pictures of your pergola/shade arbor. I'm gathering info to build one of my own. Pond's looking great! Sarah |
Hi Sarah, Here is one we took last year after it was finished. The posts are sitting on a treated 2x6 on top of the block wall under the deck. Michelle |
- Posted by catherinet z5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 08 at 15:42
WOW! Its gorgeous. What a little paradise! I love that arbor over your deck. Did you build it all yourselves? It would be neat to grow something up over that arbor, like wisteria. But I guess you would have to plant it in the soil in the front right or back right of the deck. Had you lived in the house awhile, before you put all this in? I'm so excited for you! Looks absolutely wonderful! |
Thank you Michelle, exactly what I needed. Great job on the pond and the deck etc! |
Thank you so much for the compliments! Digging and rock moving will defiantly make you feel your age but I am so glad we built it. Building the arbor was a breeze compared to building the pond. We have lived here 20+ years and have built everything ourselves, still working on the house. It's slow but it's us. I was also thinking of planting something to cover the top of the arbor but if the trumpet vine has it's way I won't have to worry about it. The only problem is that all I want to do now is hang out by the pond. Michelle |
Lol, we ALL know about that problem :) |

THAT is what I want my pond to look like someday (it's getting there)!! You definitely learn patience w/ gardening in general and ponding specifically! Excellent job, Michelle, and I know what you mean about "all we want to do is hang out by the pond". The gazebo we're slowly building over our pond is just joists right now, but we slap a piece of scrap plywood down on it just so we can sit by the pond! It's really quite distracting when you should be WORKING on something :) Jill |
Hi There, Here is the pond after it's 2nd summer. We are in a terrible drought so plants had to live on hand watering. The rain just seems to miss us. I hoping for rain this fall/winter for good Spring growth. Michelle |
At this point you've heard a slew of compliments, but I'll add mine anyways - that is really amazing...excellent construction and design. Makes me want to redo my own pond... ~Mike |
Absolutely outstanding; the evolution was really nice to see. What are the dimensions of the pond? Gallonage? Where in Texas are you anyhow? I am in Austin, and the lack of rain this year (about 10" YTD)has made our back yard look like a desert. |
Thanks Mike and bwalters. Just a simple design that's easy to care for. Well, all but the opening and closing of the pressure filter, but that only gets done in the spring. The pond, including the planting shelves, is about 15 x 17 and an average of 3 feet deep and it holds about 3000 gallons. We live north of San Antonio in Spring Branch. I don't know exactly how many inches of rain that we lack but it has been VERY dry here since last summer. The Guadalupe River and Canyon Lake look terrible. I sure hope we all catch a break soon.

Well a year has gone by and some changes made. Moved purple fountain grass (way too messy) and put in another bicolor iris (blocks wind and leaves but is soft enough to work around)and finally put down some zoysia sod. We put fishing line up to try to keep a hungry barred owl away. We haven't lost any more fish but I think he still takes frogs that hop around at night. |

Wow!!! I just loved watching your progress. Thank you for being so diligent about posting the pics. It looks wonderful, just wonderful. I imagine you spend some very satisfying evenings-mornings-afternoons whatever, just sittin' an lookin' as my son would say. LOL Great job on all of it. |
Thank you bluesunflower, I thought if I added pictures of the pond as it ages it might help some people that are considering putting in a pond. Yes, it is a terrific magnet, for us as well as wildlife. We have had a covey of quail visiting lately. It's fun to watch them run all around the pond. Last summer a bobcat made an appearance, that's the only cat I have ever seen my dog refuse to chase:D |
Not only was the pond an inspiration, so was the arbor. I called the DH in and said, "I want that." He just smiled. |
Thanks, I'm glad to hear these pictures might have given you some ideas. Oh, and my DH was not overly enthused about digging a hole in this rock we call a yard either. But he came around eventually after seeing the pictures of other ponds. Now he is just as magnetized by the pond as I am. |
Just Beautiful :o) |

Very nice. I am very pleased by the progression. It is hard for some people to visualize how it will look later on. Of course, a pond is always a work in progress. Sandy |

Last night, ESPN's 30 for 30 series aired Daniel Gordon's long-anticipated two hour documentary Hillsborough. The film documents the 1989 stadium disaster in Sheffield during Liverpool's FA Cup semifinal against Nottingham Forest, and the efforts by the South Yorkshire Police—with an assist from the Sun newspaper—to paint what was essentially a deadly failure in crowd control as the tragic result of hooliganism.
Thought the story is not new, rarely has the moral of Hillsborough been made so clear. Hillsborough is not about football, nor is it about the place of Hillsborough in the ritualism of Liverpool fandom. These are elements of the story, but they're not at its core. Gordon wisely focuses his lens elsewhere.
Hillsborough here is about the overwhelming, exhausting burden injustice places on the shoulders of ordinary families. It is about the parents, children and siblings of 96 victims traveling on buses to countless inquests and inquiries, carrying on in the face of the South Yorkshire Police who took blood alcohol samples from dead children even as they kept them from their parents' final touch, constables who thought nothing of altering countless police statements to suit their ends, newspapers which printed police lies verbatim, politicians who made off-hand jokes about the death of just under one hundred people.
It is about the tendency of power to preserve itself, even at the cost of victimizing the very people that power is intended to serve.
It is fascinating to read the reactions from younger fans of football clubs of all stripes on sites like Reddit, beginning to comprehend that "Justice for the 96″ is more than a Kopite chant. It is a battle cry for all fans of the sport, and a warning for anyone who still comforts themselves with the belief that something like this could not happen again. Try and catch this doc when and if you can…
