The New York Times reporter James Risen, who faces jail over his refusal to reveal a source and testify against a former CIA agent accused of leaking secrets, has called President Barack Obama "the greatest enemy of press freedom in a generation".
Speaking to his colleague Maureen Dowd, Risen accused the president of aggressively pursuing journalists, including himself, who report sensitive stories that reflect poorly on the US government.
Risen faces jail over his reporting of a botched intelligence operation that ended up spilling nuclear secrets to Iran. The Justice Department has long been seeking to force him to testify and name the confidential source of the account, which is contained in his 2006 book State of War.
Risen recently failed in an attempt to have the supreme court review an order for him to testify, and acknowledges that he has exhausted all his legal options against the Justice Department's pursuit of him under the controversial Espionage Act. In the face of incarceration that could come as early as this autumn, he is resorting instead to journalistic defiance.
Risen would be the first journalist to go to prison for failing to divulge sources since 2005, when the former New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for contempt of court, after refusing to testify about a… Continue reading
Julian Charles interviews Kevin Ryan on The Mind Renewed on 8/16/14
In 2002, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was tasked by the US Government with "determin[ing] why and how WTC 1 and WTC 2 collapsed following the initial impacts of the aircraft and why and how WTC 7 collapsed." After years of work, the final reports were released (in 2005 and 2008 respectively) with the conclusion that all three had collapsed primarily due to fire. But just how "meticulous, exhaustive, and very realistic" was this research? Had it really answered all the questions and provided a trustworthy explanation that supported the official narrative of 9/11?
This week we welcome to the programme once again Kevin Ryan, co-editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies… Continue reading

Expecting mothers who lived near the World Trade Center when the twin towers fell on September 11, 2001 were more likely to give birth prematurely and have babies with low birth weights, according to new research.
The massive dust cloud that enveloped Lower Manhattan after the collapse of the Twin Towers was a highly toxic environmental hazard that consisted of asbestos, cement, gypsum, glass fibers, lead and other metals and was highly alkaline. Past research has shown it caused asthma and cancer in many first responders and local residents.
A new working study, released this month by Janet Currie and Hannes Schwandt of Princeton University, shows that the 9/11 dust caused pregnancy complications in expecting mothers. The study has not been peer-reviewed.
"These findings provide the first consistent evidence that the 9/11 dust cloud had detrimental impacts on pregnancy outcomes," said the authors. "Residence in the affected area increased prematurity, low birth weight, and admission to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) after birth, especially for boys."
For mothers who were in their first trimester during 9/11, exposure to the dust cloud more than doubled the probability of premature delivery. Newborn boys were more likely than girls to have birth complications, and there was an increase in low birth weight of about 5 percentage points among boys as well… Continue reading

WASHINGTON — The government has recognized that first responders became ill from working near Ground Zero — but the 9/11 Museum isn't so sure.
Responders and surviving family members are furious that panels at the museum's "After 9/11″ exhibit present the connection between the toxic dust around Ground Zero and the subsequent health issues of many workers as uncertain.
It's the latest in a long list of complaints about the museum's management and mission by victims' families and responders, who point out that the 2011 James Zadroga Act, which helped cover victims' health needs, settled the issue.
"It is inexcusable that the museum would project skepticism about the link between health impacts and WTC exposures, despite overwhelming medical evidence," write the chairs of two committees created to help beneficiaries of the Zadroga Act in letter sent to museum head Joseph Daniels on Friday.
Museum spokesman Michael Frazier said the letter was under review. "Among our visitors… Continue reading

The Justice Department late Friday made public four new, heavily censored documents confirming that by 2002 the FBI had found "many connections" between 9/11 terrorist figures and the Florida family of "an allegedly wealthy international businessman" with ties to the Saudi Royal family.
"On or about 8/27/01 his family fled their house in Sarasota leaving behind valuable items in a manner
indicating they left quickly without prior preparation," says an FBI "case narrative" written on April 16, 2002.
The name of the international businessman, Esam Ghazzawi, is blanked out in the narrative. Ghazzawi's name, however, is included on another page – an FBI form that accompanied a letter acquired by FBI agents in Tampa as "evidence" in July 2002. Details about the letter were not released.
The release of Ghazzawi's name is the first time the government has confirmed Ghazzawi's involvement in the FBI investigation that lasted until at least 2004, yet was never disclosed to the 9/11 Commission or congressional investigators.
Ghazzawi, adviser to a senior Saudi prince, owned the upscale south Sarasota home where his daughter, Anoud, and her husband, Abdulaziz al-Hijji lived prior to 9/11. Law enforcement sources have said that after 9/11 investigators found evidence – telephone records and photographs of license tags and security gate log books – showing that hijack pilot Mohamed Atta, former Broward resident and fugitive al Qaeda leader Adnan Shukrijumah and… Continue reading

♦ ♦ ♦
It has been nearly 13 years since terrorist hijackers turned passenger planes into weapons and flew innocent civilians into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, turning the sunny New York City skyline black from flaming debris and burning buildings.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks — while towers of mangled metal still smoldered in Manhattan, piles of concrete and glass rested below a gaping hole in the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field was littered with aluminum and dead bodies — national security experts from nearly every government agency frantically raced to uncover just what had happened.
Three years after the attacks, everything those… Continue reading

An absolutely monumental shift is in process that most have not recognized yet. The truth, or at least some truth, is about to be shown to the American masses about 9/11. I say American masses because everywhere I've gone in the world outside of the US, with few exceptions, almost everyone knows that the US government conspiracy theory on 9/11 is for people with tinfoil hats that are either completely zombified or are under mass hypnosis. Most of the rest of the world looks on the US like "The Truman Show" and can't believe how many people in the show don't realize it's not real.
Before we delve into what is about to happen let's just take one last look at the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 by one of the great freedom-minded investigative journalists on the planet, James Corbett … because this theory is about to evaporate in front of our very eyes:
It's hard to believe but there are still millions of people in the US who believe that is what happened!
The first event is a 40-minute broadcast that went out on C-SPAN on August 1st with Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This is an absolute must-see interview for the reasons I will explain.
C-SPAN is operated by the National Cable Satellite… Continue reading

It's the kind of rare opportunity that members of the 9/11 Truth Movement wish would come more often.
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, was invited to bring the evidence for the explosive demolition of the three World Trade Center towers to viewers of C-SPAN today on its morning program Washington Journal. His 45-minute appearance — which can be viewed here by those who did not see it live — is enabling the 9/11 Truth message to reach a national television audience of millions.
Gage explained to viewers that his organization, representing more than 2,200 architects and engineers, is focused on the science of the event and on calling for a new, independent investigation. He encouraged viewers to visit the AE911Truth.org website and watch the landmark video 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out.
"Every one of our [C-SPAN] viewers today should be calling their Congressmen and Senators and finding out why they're not investigating the worst act of mass murder in U.S. history and the third-worst structural failure in modern history," Gage said. "This is an extraordinary and unacceptable situation."
Host Peter Slen told viewers that Gage was brought in as a guest because Washington Journal had received so many calls in recent months asking its other guests to address the issue of how Building 7 fell on 9/11 when it was not hit by a plane. The invitation shows that the continuing efforts of 9/11… Continue reading

(CNN) — President Barack Obama acknowledged Friday that the United States "crossed a line" and tortured al Qaeda detainees after the 9/11 terror attacks.
The comments at a White House news conference were the President's strongest on the controversial subject since he came into office denouncing what he described as the Bush years of torturing alleged terrorists, also known as "enhanced interrogation."
"When we engaged in some of these enhanced interrogation techniques, techniques that I believe and I think any fair-minded person would believe were torture, we crossed a line," Obama said. "And that needs to be … understood and accepted. And we have to, as a country, take responsibility for that so that hopefully we don't do it again in the future."
In the remarks, Obama was referring to a soon-to-be-released Senate Intelligence Committee report detailing the CIA's controversial interrogation and detention program following the 9/11 attacks.
The document is a nearly 700 page summary of the full 6,800 page report that was approved a year and a half ago by a committee sharply divided along party lines.
Senators on the committee have said the report is critical of the CIA's treatment of terrorism suspects, saying it amounted to torture — an allegation CIA officials have denied. It also finds that those harsh interrogation techniques did not help disrupt future terrorist attacks as many in intelligence community have claimed.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein said later Friday that the report's public release… Continue reading

SALT LAKE CITY — A trial over evidence and conspiracy theories from the Oklahoma City bombing wrapped up here, with a shocking twist.
As a trial over documents and videotape the FBI had from the 1995 bombing that killed 168 ended on Thursday, the man suing the federal government claimed one of his witnesses had been told not to show up — or else.
Jesse Trentadue said John Matthews, whom he claimed worked as an undercover government operative in the militia movement in the 1990s, had been contacted by an FBI agent and told "it would be best if he didn't show up to testify."
"He was told he should take a vacation and that if he did testify he should suffer from a case of the 'I don't remembers,'" Trentadue told U.S. District Court Judge Clark Waddoups.
Trentadue told FOX 13 that Matthews had known convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh and worked for the government in an operation targeting the patriot militia movement known as "PATCON."
"He was part of an operation the FBI ran for a decade during the '90s where they would infiltrate, and it's questionable whether they incited the right wing," he told FOX 13.
Lawyers for the FBI denied the allegation and said it was Matthews who had contacted them asking how he could get out of testifying. Matthews could not be located to testify, they told the judge.
"This is a serious accusation," Judge Waddoups said.… Continue reading

The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, issued an extraordinary apology to leaders of the US Senate intelligence committee on Thursday, conceding that the agency employees spied on committee staff and reversing months of furious and public denials.
Brennan acknowledged that an internal investigation had found agency security personnel transgressed a firewall set up on a CIA network, which allowed Senate committee investigators to review agency documents for their landmark inquiry into CIA torture.
Among other things, it was revealed that agency officials conducted keyword searches and email searches on committee staff while they used the network.
The admission brings Brennan's already rocky tenure at the head of the CIA under renewed question. One senator on the panel said he had lost confidence in the director, although the White House indicated its support for a man who has been one of Barack Obama's most trusted security aides.
CIA spokesman Dean Boyd acknowledged that agency staff had improperly monitored the computers of committee staff members, who were using a network the agency had set up, called RDINet. "Some CIA employees acted in a manner inconsistent with the common understanding reached between [the committee] and the CIA in 2009 regarding access to the RDINet," he said.
Asked if Brennan had or would offer his resignation, a different CIA spokesman, Ryan Trapani, replied: "No."
In March, the committee chairwoman, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, accused the agency of violating… Continue reading

It documents the significant human cost of certain counterterrorism practices, such as overly aggressive sting operations and unnecessarily restrictive conditions of confinement.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There has been a dramatic increase in the number of 9/11 rescuers and responders with cancer in the past year, according to a published report.
The New York Post says that Mount Sinai Hospital's World Trade Center Health Program reported 1,140 cancer cases last year. Now the number is up to more than 2,500.
Among the cancers being diagnosed at a much higher rate than the general population: prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, leukemia and multiple myeloma.
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund is expected to receive more claims by the Oct. 14 deadline. So far, there are 1,145 claims listing cancer.

After becoming Director of the CIA (DCI) in 1997, George Tenet did what Louis Freeh had done after his appointment as FBI Director. He began to cultivate close personal relationships with the rulers of Saudi Arabia. Like Freeh, Tenet grew especially close to Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the United States. Bandar and Tenet often met at Bandar's home near Washington yet Tenet did not share information from those meetings with his own officers who were handling Saudi issues at the Agency. The CIA's Saudi specialists only learned about Tenet's dealings with the Saudi authorities inadvertently, through their Saudi contacts. It seems that Tenet was operating within a network that surpassed the interests of the American public. Therefore the unsolved crimes of 9/11, attributed largely to young men from Saudi Arabia, should be considered in light of Tenet's actions.
As Deputy Director for the CIA, in 1996, Tenet had worked to install one of his closest friends and confidants, John Brennan, as CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia. Brennan is now the DCI but, in his previous role, Brennan often communicated directly with Tenet, avoiding the usual chain of command. At the time, as an apparent favor to the Saudis, CIA analysts were discouraged from questioning Saudi relationship to Arab extremists.
The unusual relationship that both George Tenet and Louis Freeh had with Saudi intelligence (and George H.W. Bush) recalls the private network that was created in the mid-1970s to accomplish covert… Continue reading

Nearly all of the highest-profile domestic terrorism plots in the United States since 9/11 featured the "direct involvement" of government agents or informants, a new report says.
Some of the controversial "sting" operations "were proposed or led by informants", bordering on entrapment by law enforcement. Yet the courtroom obstacles to proving entrapment are significant, one of the reasons the stings persist.
The lengthy report, released on Monday by Human Rights Watch, raises questions about the US criminal justice system's ability to respect civil rights and due process in post-9/11 terrorism cases. It portrays a system that features not just the sting operations but secret evidence, anonymous juries, extensive pretrial detentions and convictions significantly removed from actual plots.
"In some cases the FBI may have created terrorists out of law-abiding individuals by suggesting the idea of taking terrorist action or encouraging the target to act," the report alleges.
Out of the 494 cases related to terrorism the US has tried since 9/11, the plurality of convictions – 18% overall – are not for thwarted plots but for "material support" charges, a broad category expanded further by the 2001 Patriot Act that permits prosecutors to pursue charges with tenuous connections to a terrorist act or group.
In one such incident, the initial basis for a material-support case alleging a man provided "military gear" to al-Qaida turned out to be waterproof socks in his luggage.
Several cases featured years-long solitary confinement for… Continue reading
On May 20, 2009, four men from the impoverished and largely African-American city of Newburgh, NY, were apprehended for an alleged terror plot. They had no history of violence or terrorist ties, but had been drawn by a Pakistani FBI informant into a carefully orchestrated scheme to bomb Jewish synagogues in a wealthy New York City suburb and fire Stinger missiles at U.S. military supply planes. Their dramatic arrest, complete with armored cars, a SWAT team and FBI aircraft, played out under the gaze of major TV outlets, ultimately resulting in 25-year prison sentences for the "Newburgh Four."
Amidst the media frenzy surrounding the case, political figures extolled the outcome as a victory in the "war on terror" and a "textbook example of how a major investigation should be conducted," though others believed the four men were victims of FBI entrapment. THE NEWBURGH STING delves deeply into this case — one of many cases across the country where people have been allegedly drawn into a plot with extreme consequences.
The Imam and assistant Imam of Mesjid al-Ikhlas, Newburgh mosque, recall their first encounters with Shahed Hussain – an undercover informant sent to Newburgh by the FBI in 2008 on a mission to find domestic terrorists. Representing himself as a businessman, Hussain drove expensive cars and made inflammatory statements about women and jihad. Suspicious, the Imams told a few of their congregants to stay away from Hussain, but one man, James Cromitie, bought into his story. Cromitie, a low-level drug dealer… Continue reading

In March Benswann.com reported that Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Walter Jones (R-NC), and Stephen F. Lynch (D-MA), , along with families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001, urged the president to declassify 28 pages from the 9/11 congressional investigation report, providing more information to the general public.
On Friday Rep. Massie commented on his Facebook page:
"Before we involve ourselves in #Iraq, Congressmen and their constituents need to know more about the events leading up to 9/11. Understanding what enabled this tragedy to occur is fundamental to drafting a strategy for the Middle East.
That's why I joined families of 9/11 victims and Congressman Walter Jones and Congressman Stephen Lynch at a press conference to promote the release of 28 classified pages from an official 9/11 report. Based on my reading of the documents, I am confident that making these 28 pages public would not damage our national security."
During a press conference in March Rep. Massie said, "As I read it, and we all had our own experience, I had to stop every couple of pages and just sort of try to absorb and try to rearrange my understanding of history. "It challenges you to re-think everything. I think the whole country needs to go through that."

Douglas Valentine's The Phoenix Program is vital for understanding the history of terrorism and its role in political warfare. Few other historical accounts provide as much detail on how the U.S. government and the CIA began to use programs for counterterrorism to implement political policy through secretive, coldblooded actions. Understanding such history is critical to making sense of what is happening in our world today.
Although implemented as a means of countering terrorism, Valentine shows how the Phoenix Program was in practice a CIA-controlled campaign of terror in Vietnam. Hidden behind terms like pacification and neutralization, Phoenix implemented a program of terror and psychological warfare against the civilian population. Under the guise of counterterrorism, tens of thousands of civilians were kidnapped, tortured, and murdered.
Valentine explains how the purpose of Phoenix was to terrorize the people into submission, not only causing them to fear any possible association with the enemy but also as a means to crush dissent. Unfortunately for many Vietnamese peasants, they were caught in a world in which they were terrorized by both sides in the long-lasting conflict. Using psychological warfare techniques, Phoenix promised to protect the people from terrorism while simultaneously terrorizing them.
The book describes the history of the program well. Phoenix and its precursor ICEX aligned the CIA-supported Provincial Reconnaissance Units (PRUs) with police and paramilitary programs to create a system for capturing or killing suspects in targeted ways. Once captured and brought in for… Continue reading

This set is much prettier than the picture. The height is not too high; it is absolutely a very beautiful wedding ring set. The diamonds are clear and sparkle. You just can't help but stare at it! It is 'flashy' without being overly flashy which is my kind of taste. I love it!!
I absolutly love my this ring!! It is beautiful unique and fits perfect. But..... I havent had it a year yet and I am having to get the ring re-prongged so I do not loose a diamond. I work at a computer all day its not getting bumped. Thats a little disapointing. However it doesnt make me regreat the decison!! I LOVE this ring. I will take the good with the bad.
I felt that I owed it to you guys to write a review. I don't normally write reviews but I was so nervous about spending this amount of money on diamond that had an I- rating without being able to see it in person first I was having trouble sleeping. I can't express how relieved I was when I finally got it out of the 4 packages it was in (yes 4 lol, it was in a small box inside a bag, inside another sealed bag and then inside a large 12"x2"x16" approx box, there was no way anyone would have known it was a ring inside). I cannot with my eyes see any imperfections in this ring. Which to me is the point, I have no desire to put it under the microscope or magnifying lens, but to the naked eye it is perfect. Thanks overstock. A small annoyance is that I had to sign for the package, but for the value I completely understand. Also, I showed a picture of this ring to a salesperson in the mall that had the same diamond for nearly triple the price (no exagerration) and they confirmed it is the same ring with the same color and clarity rating. They added that the reason overstock is cheaper is that the local stores get first pick and overstock gets the leftovers, I don't know if there's truth to that but it makes sense, just look at their name. Again I'm very happy and will purchase more jewelry in the future.
I was very impressed and am happy with this purchase. My fiance loves it, and tells me all the time she loves to just look at it. Everyone compliments her on it, and she is proud to show it off! I looked at the diamonds under magnification, and the imperfections are so small, there was only one I could see in one of the diamonds, and that was quite magnified! Very impressed, the quality is higher than expected and we are very satisfied!
This ring is absolutely beautiful! I have very dainty fingers, and this ring is the perfect fit. The large diamonds are a good size, and the small diamonds add a lovely accent. My fiance and I are very happy with it!
My wife loves her ring. It's a bit smaller than it looks in the picture but she is very happy with it, so that's all that really matters. It looks great on her small hand.
The ring had a very good price, looks great and I would recommend it to anybody.
Bought this little over 2 years ago, been holding onto it for the right chance. In the end it didn't work out - now I am trying to sell the ring and getting offers anywhere from $XXX. XXX. The diamonds are not as clear as pictured. They appear to be very cloudy and not of great quality. Buy your diamonds in person.
This ring looks slightly different from the picture. My fiancee is very small, but it looks AMAZING on her hand. She is in love with it. All of her friends are very impressed. Only complaint, the wedding band doesn't seem to fit perfectly with the ring so we are getting it soldered.
This ring is even prettier than picture,diamond is clear and bright

[-9] in square brackets at the end of the command is optional and strongly suggested to be your last resort. I do not like to use it as the killed process leaves a lot of mess behind.

This command specifies the size in Kilobytes using 'k' in the -size +(N)k option. The plus sign says greater than. -exec [cmd] {} \; invokes ls -l command on each file and awk strips off the values of the 5th (size) and the 9th (filename) column from the ls -l output to display. Sort is done in reversed order (descending) numerically using sort -rn options.

Ajaccio is an elegant and sophisticated Mediterranean city with real charm. Situated on the west coast of the French island of Corsica, in the Gulf of Ajaccio, the region has a favourable climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers.
Not only is Ajaccio the capital of 'The Island of Beauty', it is also the birthplace of Corsica's most famous son: the French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte. As a result, you can find plenty of monuments dedicated to Napoléon's life and childhood throughout the city. Most notable are the house where he was born Casa Buonaparte, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta where he was baptised and the Fesch museum which hosts one of the most important Napoleonic collections.
While the city centre is ideal for a relaxing stroll through beautiful narrow streets, a trip beyond the city's borders is definitely worth it. Take a trip down south for a wonderful view of the Gulf of Ajaccio where the mild climate guarantees a pleasant beach experience well into autumn. Or follow the Route des Sanguinaires from Ajaccio to the Genovese Tower La Parata for a picturesque view of the Sanguinaires Islands. This magnificent archipelago turns crimson red at sunset, a truly stunning spectacle.

It's natural that quarrels becomes more heated as the stakes rise, but what separates America from the rest of the world are the billions poured into electioneering by special interest groups who have (for their own purposes) demonised opponents, hardened attitudes and embittered one party's leaders and followers against the other.
Ideologioal differences between the 2 rival US parties have been small and more a question of emphasis for decades- but super PACS have harnessed vitriol to successfully hijack democracy to 'divide and rule' with sound bites and media spin. The result is a nation tearing itself apart over issues devoid of any proven, intrinsic meaning.
If the fabric of society is not to be torn asunder, and along with it equal opportunity and all aspects Americans profess to hold dear, then leverage must be reduced by removing tax deductibility for PACS and super-PACS, and instead replacing party political campaign funding with a federal budget subject to a code of good conduct that requires and encourages tolerance, fair and balanced campaigning. Unsurprisingly, neither side will be rushing forward to give up their self-interest in the money fountain to 'heal the nation'.

One day after al-Qaeda-linked militants took scores of foreigners hostage at a remote natural gas facility in Algeria, Algerian forces mounted a military operation Thursday against the Islamists, killing an unknown number of hostages and kidnappers, according to media reports.
The Algerian army had surrounded the In Amenas facility, which was taken over by militants in what they said was a response to Algeria aiding French troops fighting rebels in neighboring Mali.
As many as 20 foreign hostages, including an unknown number of Americans, were reported to have escaped during the attack by Algerian forces.
New reports indicated that dozens of hostages may have died in Thursday's operation, but reports are conflicting.
Here is a running report on the unfolding events:
8:10 p.m. ET: Irish hostage Stephen McFaul told his wife that Algerian forces attacked four Jeeps containing hostages and probably killed many of them, his brother tells Reuters.
"They were moving five Jeep-loads of hostages from one part of the compound. At that stage, they were intercepted by the Algerian army," Brian McFaul said. "The army bombed four out of five of the trucks and four of them were destroyed.
"The truck my brother was in crashed, and Stephen was able to make a break for his freedom. He presumed everyone else in the other trucks was killed."
The hostages had explosives hung around their necks and their mouths taped, he said.
6:57 p.m. ET: The French news agency AFP and the British TV network ITN report that Algerian troops control only part of the site and that some terrorists escaped.
5:15 p.m. ET: Reuters, citing an Algerian security source, is reporting that 30 hostages were killed, including seven foreigners. Among them were two Britons, two Japanese and one French national.
The source also says 11 militants died, including the group's leader, Tahar Ben Cheneb, described as a "prominent commander in the region."
An Algerian worker who escaped told Reuters that the militants apparently had inside knowledge of the layout of the complex, and that they said they were targeting only non-Muslims.
"The terrorists told us at the very start that they would not hurt Muslims but were only interested in the Christians and infidels," Abdelkader, 53, said in a telephone interview from his home in nearby In Amenas. " 'We will kill them,' they said."
4:14 p.m. ET: The State Department says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered a review of security for U.S. diplomats, citizens and businesses across North Africa and the Maghreb region, which encompasses Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia.
3:54 p.m. ET: An unconfirmed report by an African news outlet cites militants as saying seven hostages survived, including two Americans, one Briton, three Belgians and a Japanese.
Algerian state TV reports at least four foreigners and 13 others were wounded.
Algerian Communications Minister Mohamed Said confirmed that there had been "several deaths and injuries" among the hostages.
"An important number of hostages were freed and an important number of terrorists were neutralized," Said told state media, the Russian news channel RT says.
3:07 p.m. ET: Japan's Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minoru Kiuchi, had flown to Algiers as the crisis grew, AFP reports, according to Le Monde. His office says he "urged the Algerian government to immediately stop its (military) operation."
2:59 p.m. ET: The official Algerian Press Service reports that the military operation at the gas field has concluded, The Guardian reports. The number of those wounded or killed was unavailable, the report said.
1:42 p.m. ET: Algerian Communications Minister Mohamed Said Belaid tells Algerian TV that the military operation at the gas facility in Algeria "is still going on," the BBC reports.
Belaid said that all measurees were taken to rescue the captives. "Unfortunately we deplore some deaths and some people wounded," he says. "We don't yet have the numbers."
1:35 p.m. ET: French President Francois Hollande told a group of business leaders in Paris that the hostage crisis in Algeria underscored that France had made the right decision in taking on Islamic militants in Mali, The Guardian reports. "What's happening in Algeria justifies even more the decision I took in the name of France to go to Mali's aid," he said.
1:20 p.m. ET: British Prime Minister David Cameron was not informed in advance of the Algerian military operation and learned of it only after phoning his counterpart in Algeria, the BBC reports. A British citizen and an Algerian were killed at the outset of the attack, the BBC says. A Downing Street spokesman said Cameron "is extremely concerned. It is a very grave and serious situation."
12:37 p.m. ET: White House spokesman Jay Carney, speaking at the noon briefing, says the United States is "seeking clarity" from Algeria over the hostage crisis.
Carney's remarks
"It is our understanding that there are Americans involved, but I would say a couple of things. One, we condemn in the strongest terms a terrorist attack on BP personnel and facilities in Algeria and we are closely monitoring the situation. We are in contact with Algerian authorities and our international partners as well as (the) BP security office in London."
"Unfortunately, the best information that we have at this time, as I said, indicates that U.S. citizens are among the hostages. But we do not have, at this point, more details to provide to you. We are certainly concerned about reports of loss of life and we are seeking clarity from the government of Algeria."
12:32 p.m. ET: Foreign nationals from eight countries were taken hostage. The Associated Press rounds up what we know about the hostages so far:
â?¢ Norway: Nine Norwegian employees of Statoil are hostages, the company says.
â?¢ United States: Seven Americans were hostages, the militants said, but they claimed only two survived the Algerian strafing on Thursday. The US has confirmed that some of its citizens are hostages but gave no numbers.
â?¢ Britain: "Several" British nationals are among the hostages, the UK government says.
â?¢ Japan: At least three of the hostages are Japanese, according to the Japanese media.
â?¢ Malaysia: Two Malaysians are being held, the government says.
â?¢ Ireland: A 36-year-old Irish man was among the hostages but is now safe and free, according to Ireland's government.
� France: President François Hollande says there are French hostages but has given no exact number.
â?¢ Romania: Romania's foreign ministry says Romanians are among hostages.
Hundreds of Algerians worked at the gas plant, but the Algerian media says most have been released. The Norwegian energy company Statoil says three of its Algerian employees are hostages.
11:49 a.m. ET: "The situation in Algeria is very fluid," says Peter Velasco, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department.
11:46 a.m. ET: Information continues to be difficult to pin down, but the Algerian news service, ANP, reports that almost 600 hostages were freed in the operation by Algerian forces.
11:39 a.m. ET: Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs identified the freed Irish hostage as Stephen McFaul, 36, from Andersonstown in Belfast, The Irish Times reports. The newspaper says McFaul had managed to speak with his relative twice while still in captivity.
11:34 a.m. ET: An Irishman who wasa taken hostage has been freed and has spoken to his family, Ireland's foreign ministry said, the BBC reports.
11:28 p.m. ET: A correspondent on the scene for the Algerian daily El Watan tells the French newspaper Le Monde that the Algerian army assault on the site lasted 30 minutes.
11:03 a.m. ET: CNN's Barbara Starr reports that the U.S. is flying an unarmed drone over the gas facility to provide surveillance information on the site.
10:59 a.m. ET: Two hostages, identified as British and Irish, spoke to Al Jazeera TV and called on the Algerian army to withdraw from the area to avoid casualties, Reuters reports.
"We are receiving care and good treatment from the kidnappers. The (Algerian) army did not withdraw and they are firing at the camp,'' the British man tells Al Jazeera, according to Reuters. "There are around 150 Algerian hostages. We say to everybody that negotiations is a sign of strength and will spare many any loss of life.''
10:20 a.m. ET: A French national who says he is among the hostages tells France 24 that the captives are being forced to wear explosive belts and that the militants are "heavily armed."
He said the militants stormed the gas plant and the workers' living quarters. "They came in and once there was daylight, grouped us all together," he tells France 24..
10 a.m. ET: French President Francois Hollande, speaking at a news conference with the prime minister of Portugal in Paris, confirms that French nationals were among the hostages, but declines to provide details, saying, ""The situation is very confused and is changing from hour to hour." He said it was "best to say as little as possible," Le Figaro online reports.
9:55 a.m. ET: BP, which partially owns the gas facility, confirmed that an operation had taken place and that there are reports of casualties, but says the situation remains unclear, including that some hostages were freed or escaped. "Supporting these families is our priority and we are doing all we can to help during this sad and uncertain time," said Bob Dudley, BP Group Chief Executive.
BP says it has removed all "non-essential" employes from the site.
9:45 a.m. ET: The Algerian news agency APS reports that four foreign hostages were freed by the Algerian army during the military operation.
9:40 a.m. ET: The Associated Press quotes a militant spokesman as saying that 7 hostages remain alive, including from the U.S., Britain, Belgium and Japan..

Phoronix: KWin Is Now Running On OpenGL ES 2.0
For a while we have known that KDE developers have been interested in supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 (and OpenGL 3.x) within the KWin compositing window manager as well as using more OpenGL within the Plasma Desktop and on the KWin front the developers, led by Martin Grä�lin, they have been making great progress towards KDE SC 4.7 where this work will be introduced...
That was posted in Martin's blog post comments.Originally Posted by Martin
I'm not a big KDE user, but that's awesome. Lowering the entry-barrier for Kwin with one backend while pushing forward with the other = more converted Ubuntu/GNOME users.
This is very nice to hear. If it works with nouveau, it should work with most Mesa drivers, so we'll probably avoid the breakage that we had with 4.5 in the future.Right now most of his testing is being done atop the Nouveau Gallium3D driver with Mesa's OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 support.
I realy like this! Instead having a seperate legacy OpenGL backend, they choose to have OpenGL ES. Awesome job.
Although I am back to Windows 7 for a while untill it breaks itself again, like one day after the install where it made a recovery boot entry that pushed the regular boot entry outside of readable bootsectors ... Windows is still Windows. They'll never learn...
how bout they just get it working, period?
ever since about two major updates ago, kwin totally broke down for me; aside from crashing on every other attempt to launch it, if it does run for more than 30 seconds, the performance is horrible.
blame it on whatever you want: nothing else broke other than kwin. i'm back to running compiz, which is snappier and more stable than kwin ever was.

Grainy texture - 2/24/2015 10:47:26 PM I received a sample. It has grainy fine particles which don't seem to belong in the final cream product. I won't buy it.Great ss simple ingredients - 8/18/2014 9:59:34 PM Started using this about 3 weeks ago. The packaging is awesome. No cap. It twists up and then you can pump the product out. It is a tinted sunscreen. I am NC20 warm for reference. It might be a lil too dark for all you very pale peeps out there but it works fine for me. My skin is combo/oily, acne prone, sensitive. I was looking for something to replace my cosmedix reflect but then decided to use them both together. I put on a layer of the cosmedix...spray in hands and rub in. You are not supposed to breathe in tit dioxide. Titanium dioxide is the main ss ingredient in both products. I pat it in b/c it is a lil bit on the thicker more matte side. I set with powder and it lasts all day. I get some shine after about 5-6 hours. Anyway I wanted to post because I do really like it so far and keeping fingers crossed that it continues to NOT cause any issues for my skin. It is not full coverage but will hide any redness as it is more of a yellow tone.Good stuff - 12/30/2013 8:30:55 PM I've used a variety of under eye creams in my life and I either break out or nothing happens and I'm right back where I started. This cream is really gentle, as under the eye is a very sensitive area of skin. I've gotten to a point where I don't feel complete if I leave the house without using this amazing product. It has kept my eye area looking fresh and alive.Great for Irritated Dry Skin - 11/13/2013 9:59:00 PM I break out to many lotions. As a Retin-A user, a good lotion is necessary. I'm glad I found this one; it sinks in and does not cause breakouts. My teen discovered it, and I'm glad she likes it but it is awfully expensive for a teen to use! A caution: my last bottle from SkinStore had an alcohol smell and burned greatly. The newest one does not... If it burns, and smells of alcohol return it immediately. I wish I had.A great combination of features - 10/8/2013 6:11:28 PM I have been looking for a single product to replace the anti-oxidant plus sunscreen plus primer that I was using, and this is it, almost. It contains Coffeeberry, which is said to be one of the best anti-oxidants plus a 25 SPF physical sunscreen. It has a matte finish and is sheer enough to wear under foundation. I still use a primer but only on the parts of my face with really large pores. In high summer I may decide to go back to a stronger SPF, but for late fall-winter-early spring, this is a great product.Incredible Results! - 9/29/2013 12:16:31 AM I LOVE this product. I have severely sun damaged skin and I also have some redness on my nose and chin. When I use this cream, my skin looks so much better in the morning. The redness is almost completely gone and I have a nice glow. Long term use has lightened my freckles and helped even out my skin tone. A must have if you have irritated or damaged skin.Revaleskin - 8/13/2013 4:52:50 AM A great daily skin care and moisturizer with a pleasant smell. I use it every night and use a different serum each morning.Used it for years and still love it! - 8/5/2013 10:45:41 AM I have rarely stuck with a cosmetic as long as I have with Revaleskin. Love the way it feels and works the minute I put it on in the morning.BEAUTIFUL SKIN - 7/31/2013 11:13:08 PM is what you will have using this cream, overnight I noticed a difference on my light sensitive skin, I use day & night, my skin has never felt so soft & smoothed textureFINALLY!!! - 7/26/2013 8:12:08 AM I have been battling redness in my nose and chin area my whole life. The dr. does not diagnose me with rosacea but it appears close to it. I received this as a sample with another skinstore.com order and have used it for 4 days straight and my redness is dramatically reduced. First product ever to show any improvement. So happy, I bought full size tube of the product! -

An intermediate level of difficulty between "easy" and "medium." Not quite as easy as "easy" but a little easier than "medium."
Most easy Sudoku puzzles are no challenge at all and do not provide me with adequate entertainment. Yet medium Sudokus are often too difficult to be fun and cause me to feel frustration and/or rage. There should be such thing as "measium" Sudokus - they would be perfect for my skill level.

Adapter lets you mount SLR lenses on iPhone
The iPhone SLR mount being used with a monster Canon lens (Photo: Photojojo)
Article Summary
There's little doubt that when it comes to snapping spur-of-the-moment photos, nothing quite matches the always-ready convenience of the smartphone. Apple's iPhone is second only in popularity to Nikon's D90 for overall image uploads to Flickr, and takes the top three spots in the Cameraphone category. There are now a whole host of apps available that can help add numerous clever effects to the photos taken with an iPhone's camera, and a growing number of hardware-based enhancements. If you find yourself yearning for a little more zoom than the Eye Scope offers, or the close-up goodness of the Fisheye and Macro/Wide Angle lens is just too small and fiddly for you, then perhaps what you need is an iPhone SLR Lens Mount.

NHIAA Boys' Soccer: Salem begins by beating Bedford
Salem jumped out to an early lead and rode it to a 2-0 season-opening victory over Bedford at Salem High Friday.
"The start was great, more than I can hope for, with two freshmen linking up twice," said Salem coach Anthony Karibian.
About 10 minutes later, Fischera put a shot on goal that Reeks seemed to have wrapped up. But it came loose and Moreno was on top of it and drove it into the net.
"To their credit, I think they were the better team today" said Pepper about the Blue Devils. "They started a lot stronger. We were raw and a bit scattered."
"We wanted to play straight up," said Karibian "But as the game went on, they pushed forward and we had to match their pressure."
Strout made eight saves to earn a shutout in his first varsity start.
Pepper said the Bulldogs were missing several starters. Add the loss of eight seniors and this Bedford lineup lacked experience.
Even with an emphasis on defense, Salem still had several good scoring chances in the second half, including one shot that caromed off the crossbar late.

I heard that Steam is now not coming to Linux. I can not find anything that says that it is not however. Does anyone here know what is happening with the Linux Steam engine?
I wouldn't be so sure deanjo. Valve isn't stupid, and they are out to make a profit. Many their independent developers are already selling Linux versions of games available on the Steam network, and there is pressure from that development side to get a Linux client out the door to simplify distribution costs.
Valve seems to understand the basic market concept that the more people you have to sell to, the more people are going to buy your product. Okay, lets say that the Linux market is only 30million desktops...
by comparison the Wii, which is the best selling console, only just passed the 50million graphics chip mark, although the actual number of units in use is probably less than half the chips shipped.
The Xbox 360, once you account for the massive amounts of failed units, has a user penetration about equal to, or less, than the Playstation's ~17million penetration.
A successful game on a console, one that is considered to have gone platinum, only has to sell one million units. Most average games tend to have sales in the 200,000 - 500,000 mark. That's 1 in every 17 or so console gamers have to pick up a game for it to be considered a good success.
To get the same sales on Linux, even using the worst base number, Valve only has to sell to 1 in 30 users to reach the magical platinum mark.
If you use the more widely accepted 50million+ numbers, the ratios are even more favorable to producing successful games.
Again, Valve ain't stupid. Crazy? yes. Insane? yes. Stupid? No.
The potential Linux market, if they can tap it right, is too large to pass up. Steam will be coming to Linux. When? That's anybody's guess.
Last edited by Saist; 03-12-2009 at 07:58 PM. Reason: gah, corrected gramar and spall cheuqe
You can manipulate numbers however you want it's all 100% pure speculation. Comparing to a console sorry just does not fly. Trying to use numbers from a dedicated system and then using that to compare the numbers on a general purpose platform has no direct correlation at all. What game publishers do see however is other attempts trying and failing such as the most recent victim Eve Online. Your right Valve is not stupid, that's why they won't bother with a linux steam client.
Well whatever their position I think they should let the community know... especially with all the news that they are indeed coming posted by legitimate IT news sites... if they are not going to release it they should make a public statement on the subject.
It all over Valve forums and Tom's Hardware.
"Valve is looking into ways to expand its Steam engine beyond the 15 million users it already has: The company said wants to hire a senior software engineer that would serve as "lead engineer and architect on product integration into the highly available digital distribution platform software developed by Valve".
Translated into plain English, we are talking about a guy that would port Windows-based games to the Linux and possibly Mac OS X platform: Steam is coming to Linux and Source games are first in line."
Just google: valve steam engine linux
Did you bother checking the link in the articles? It links right back to Phoronix. Those articles link right back.
Here is the EXACT job description, which by the way has yet to be filled:
That description screams of a delivery system on the server side (see the reference to the large scale networking and large clusters which has nothing to do with a steam client). The "Port Windows-based games to the Linux platform." also indicates the porting of the game server not the client. Had it been porting of a client you would have seen requirements of knowledge in openGL, SDL, openAL, etc etc. The qualifications are all on the networking side.Senior Software Engineer
Lead engineer and architect on product integration into the highly available digital distribution platform called "Steam". Utilize business/commerce background and engineering skills to drive next generation features for software developed by Valve.
Develop an understanding of Valve's Internet business and player community and contribute creative web-focused design solutions to improve the experience of using Valve's products
Manage the operation of large clusters of machines running both Windows and Linux in a highly available system.
Utilize knowledge of networking technologies and their appropriate use in large scale digital distribution systems and gaming platforms.
Port Windows-based games to the Linux platform.
Test, document, and maintain large scale networking installations and their assorted protocols
oversee and implement quality assurance of applications in house and third party games distributed on Steam™
Required Qualifications
Bachelor in Systems Engineering (or equivalent).
Requires two years of experience in systems engineering designing and developing communications software and hardware solutions including resolving problems surrounding real-time and non real time PC- based systems using C++ and network programming algorithms and their interaction with physical devices.

JOnAS handle data mining requests, OLAP queries, pre-defined reports and executive dashboards for users spread across 123 local offices throughout France. In parallel to major evolutions towards J2EE projected for mid 2006, CNAF has decided, for the needs of the decisional computing system, to put a production level J2EE infrastructure into place. This project started in May 2003. At the demand of the IT direction, CNAF defined the architecture of execution for J2EE application and the platform was to be in production byend of 2003. CNAF chosed JOnAS because of its technical qualities, and because of its backing by INRIA, France Telecom and Bull. The open-source (LGPL) license permitted CNAF to be rapidly operational, in line with the expected delays, and to be very reactive to covering the needs. JOnAS is deployed on AIX 4.3.3 operating systems using Apache 2.0 as a frontal in 8 major computing centers. In parallel, JOnAS is largely used by J2EE developers... "The choice of JOnAS was supported by the technical qualities of ObjectWeb's J2EE application server and because of its support by trustworthy actors such as Bull, INRIA and France Telecom", explained Nicolas Buonomo, Middleware Infrastructure Manager with CNAF."The system has been in production for 1 year now.
