The Senate has agreed to give President Bush extraordinary power to detain and try prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The legislation strips detainees of the right to challenge their own detention and gives the President the power to detain them indefinitely. The bill also immunizes U.S. officials from prosecution for torturing detainees who the military and the CIA captured before the end of last year. We get reaction from Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
On Capitol Hill, the Senate has agreed to give President Bush extraordinary power to detain and try prisoners in the so-called war on terror. The editors of the New York Times described the law as tyrannical. They said its passage marks a low point in American democracy and that it is our generation's version of the Alien and Sedition Acts. The legislation strips detainees of the right to file habeas corpus petitions to challenge their own detention or treatment. It gives the president the power to indefinitely detain anyone it deems to have provided material support to anti-U.S. hostilities. Secret and coerced evidence could be used to try detainees held in U.S.…Continue reading

The largest health study yet of the thousands of workers who labored at ground zero shows that the impact of the rescue and recovery effort on their health has been more widespread and persistent than previously thought, and is likely to linger far into the future.
The study, released yesterday by doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center, is expected to erase any lingering doubts about the connection between dust from the trade center and numerous diseases that the workers have reported suffering. It is also expected to increase pressure on the federal government to provide health care for sick workers who do not have health insurance.
Roughly 70 percent of nearly 10,000 workers tested at Mount Sinai from 2002 to 2004 reported that they had new or substantially worsened respiratory problems while or after working at ground zero.
The rate is similar to that found among a smaller sample of 1,100 such workers released by Mount Sinai in 2004, but the scale of the current study gives it far more weight; it also indicates significant problems not reflected in the original study.
For example, one-third of the patients in the new study showed diminished lung capacity in tests designed to measure the amount of air a person can exhale. Among nonsmokers, 28 percent were found to have some breathing impairment, more than double the rate for nonsmokers in the general population.
The study is among the first to show that many of the respiratory ailments – like sinusitis and asthma, and gastrointestinal problems related to them – initially reported by ground zero workers persisted or grew worse in the years after 9/11.…Continue reading

The imminent fifth anniversary of 9/11 provides the proper moment for a good, ol'-fashioned sum-up of the past half-decade under CheneyBush, especially because so much has happened in the past 12-months:
The Bush Administration's Katrina debacle, Iraq being sucked deeper into the civil-war vortex, Afghanistan turning once again into a major war theater, more and more military leaders speaking out about the disaster that is CheneyBush foreign policy, the defection of so many moderate conservatives from their GOP home, the plummeting of Bush's popularity to not much more than his fundamentalist base, the revelation that Bush&Co. have been spying on citizens' phone calls and emails without court warrants, the indictment of CheneyBush's chief aide Scooter Libby for obstruction of justice in the case of the White House's outing of a covert CIA agent, the "rendering" of detainees abroad for extreme torturing, etc. etc.
I'll get to the annual list in a moment. But first let's step back and take a deeper overview. Buckle your seat belts, here we go.
Whatever you may think of 9/11, and the extent of involvement of Bush&Co., it's crystal-clear that the events of that tragic day were and continue to be used as an excuse for a wide variety of immoral and illegal actions by the CheneyBush Administration. The radical agenda that was barely on the public's horizon five years ago has since become all too evident, both domestically and in terms of foreign/military policy, which is why so many traditional conservatives are abandoning the extremism of the Republican Party.…Continue reading
President Bush is at the Helm of an Administration that Won't Stop Lying
Paul Craig Roberts
The Bush Regime has killed tens of thousands of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, mainly women and children. The deaths are excused as unintended "collateral damage" of the ongoing war, but the deaths are nonetheless important to the tens of thousands of relatives and friends. An equally important casualty of the Bush Regime is truth. The American public has been trained to obediently accept their government's lies fed to them by their government's handmaiden, the US Media. No statement or claim by a Bush Regime Official is too outlandish to be received with acceptance. Consider the claim by Donald Rumsfeld, the US Secretary for War and Aggression, made to the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee on May 17, that Iran was to blame for the instability in Iraq.
Did the senators laugh Rumsfeld out of the room? No.
Did the media remind the "informed public" that it was actually the US invasion and unsuccessful occupation, together with mass detentions, torture, slaughter of citizens and invasions of their homes, destruction of infrastructure and entire cities, such as Fallujah, and removal of Saddam Hussein's government, which kept the three Iraqi factions from each other's throats, that destabilized Iraq?…Continue reading

Toiling deep in the bowels of Ground Zero, Firefighter Kevin Delano suspected he was breathing in poison but continued hunting for bodies anyway.
Now there's more proof the asthma that has made it impossible for the 52-year-old to cross his lawn without wheezing was caused by the deadly dust he inhaled.
A soon-to-be-published study co-authored by David Prezant, the Fire Department's deputy chief medical officer, has found that FDNY rescuers lost the equivalent of 12 years of lung function because of exposure to toxic dust.
"We knew it was bad, we knew it was bad from the first day," said Delano, who had to retire from the FDNY after 9/11 and also has been battling leukemia. "This just proves it."
Prodded by a series of hard-hitting Daily News editorials that described the plight of 12,000 ailing Ground Zero workers, Mayor Bloomberg has promised to look into whether the city has stiffed its 9/11 heroes.
But Bloomberg has refused, thus far, to acknowledge that the deaths of at least four first responders – and the illnesses of thousands more – were directly related to their toiling in The Pit.
The analysis of fire and Emergency Medical Technician workers conducted by the FDNY and Montefiore Medical Center-Albert Einstein College of Medicine could make Bloomberg reconsider his position. It found that firefighters in The Pit suffered a loss of lung power "equal to that of 12 years of age-related decline."
"Those who had more exposure, those who arrived earlier, had a more severe loss," said Montefiore's Dr.…Continue reading

This may be old news to you, but just a quick note here of something I'd missed about Flight 77, thanks to "Bismillah" and the RI forum, that I hope you won't miss, too.
At least among those with a mind for such things, it's fairly well-remembered that on September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld made the shocking announcement that the Pentagon "couldn't track" $2.3 trillion of its transactions. "Iroquois" observes, "What's interesting to me is that he made his press release on a Monday. In DC, I always see bad news given on a Friday, usually late in the afternoon on Friday. The exception, of course, would be when someone happens to know that there is a far bigger story coming out."
And we know that Flight 77, allegedly piloted by an incompetent, made an aerobatic, spiralling descent over Washington, effecting a 270-degree turn to strike the Pentagon from a western approach at ground level. The side struck was the only one with an exterior wall hardened against attack, and was relatively empty while renovation continued.
Relatively. The unfortunate construction workers perished outside, but who were the expendables within?
A briefly missed blog gem from the righteous Jeff Mills at Rigorous Intuition.… Continue reading

Sibel Edmonds,
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition,
Alexandria, VA — The following members of Congress, by their action or inaction, have stood against real investigations, hearings, and legislation dealing with government whistleblowers who have exposed fraud, waste, abuse, and/or criminal activities within government agencies. These representatives of the People are not only standing against whistleblowers, but against the public's right to know, effective oversight, accountability, and ultimately against the democratic processes that underpin our society.
To see the Dirty Dozen list, Click Here
We, the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, together with whistleblower members of our partner coalitions, consider it our duty to advise Americans of these representatives' collusion with government and private interests to the detriment of the People. Our position is based on our concern for our nation's security, for accountable government, and the People's Right to Know what their representatives and government are doing in their name, all of which depend on vigorous congressional oversight.
Our stand is not based on any political ideology or party — our coalition members include Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and Independents. We do not ask you to vote for or against these individuals; nor do we ask you to choose a particular candidate over another. All we ask is that before you decide, you consider the true positions of these representatives with regard to their lack of candor and courage on core issues that matter to our country's well-being.
Over the years, time and again we have informed these representatives about illegal government actions, agency fraud, and lying to Congress by administrators and bureaucrats.…Continue reading
Homeland Security, the "Keystone Stasi," Now Tracks and Enforces Local Police Warrants
June 20, 2006: For many years, those working to create a total surveillance state have employed the "salami tactic" of taking away our freedoms one slice at a time. Laws that directly challenge constitutional rights, like the USA PATRIOT Act, are the spectacular exception. Agencies like FEMA quietly prepare plans for martial law, and have built a "Shadow Government" for military rule without need of a written order. The Bush administration for its part has constantly tested the waters, establishing new realities by fiat (as in its creation of the "enemy combatant" category to justify unlimited detention without charges), or floating test balloons like the "Total Information Awareness" program (which was withdrawn officially, even as the NSA's telephone surveillance proceeded to implement its spirit behind the scenes).
Now we must all realize that at some point, the salami runs out. It no longer makes sense to say that our government is creating a police state. The fact is, that state has arrived, complete with One Big Database and the establishment of universal jurisdictions. In an editorial published this week in New York Newsday, Ray LeMoine tells a memorable story of how he was detained by Homeland Security for several hours because of outstanding local police warrants relating to his sale of unlicensed T-shirts ("Yankees Suck," among others). We dare not dismiss this as a minor matter; it shows that there is nothing about us in electronic form that… Continue reading

The pervasive public fear ignited by 9/11 and relentlessly fanned by government leaders and the mainstream media has proved an unfailing political profit center for the administration and unimaginably enriched its military-industrial handlers. It is now also enwealthening scores of officials personally as "War on Terror"-profiteering accelerates the fusion of our private and public spheres.
– Ed.
WASHINGTON – Dozens of members of the Bush administration's domestic security team, assembled after the 2001 terrorist attacks, are now collecting bigger paychecks in different roles: working on behalf of companies that sell domestic security products, many directly to the federal agencies the officials once helped run.
At least 90 officials at the Department of Homeland Security or the White House Office of Homeland Security – including the department's former secretary, Tom Ridge; the former deputy secretary, Adm. James M. Loy; and the former under secretary, Asa Hutchinson – are executives, consultants or lobbyists for companies that collectively do billions of dollars' worth of domestic security business.
More than two-thirds of the department's most senior executives in its first years have moved through the revolving door. That pattern raises questions for some former officials.
"People have a right to make a living," said Clark Kent Ervin, the former inspector general of the department, who now works at the Aspen Institute, a nonpartisan public policy research center. "But working virtually immediately for a company that is bidding for work in an area where you were… Continue reading

According to US Census Bureau statistics, in 2002, there were over 21 million federal, state, and local government employees in the US. These employees are in the best position to expose misconduct and abuses of power that arise in government agencies. However, the recent US Supreme Court decision effectively muzzles the nation's watchdogs.
Attorney Barry Turner, a Lecturer of Law at Leeds Law School in the UK, describes the Supreme Court's decision absurd. "Transparency is essential in any democracy and is a bulwark against corruption, which," he points out, "requires secrecy to survive."
"Any society or administration that facilitates secret deals and hides from the truth can only court corruption," he warns. "Gagging whistleblowers," he contends, "can only assist the corrupt, the criminal and the fraudster."
In a nutshell, the question before the Supreme Court was: Does a prosecutor who speaks on a matter of public concern by reporting police misconduct lose his First Amendment protection against retaliation solely because he communicated the message while performing his job?
The plaintiff in the case was Richard Ceballos, a Deputy District Attorney in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office who informed his supervisors that he believed a Deputy Sheriff had falsified an affidavit to obtain a search warrant in a criminal case.
After Ceballos relayed his findings, he followed up with a written memorandum recommending the dismissal of the case. At a hearing on a motion to challenge the search warrant, Ceballos was subpoenaed by the defense and testified about his findings regarding the affidavit.…Continue reading

"Already there is near-consensus as to the sequence of events that led to the collapse of the World Trade Center."–Shankar Nair, as quoted in the Chicago Tribune, September 19, 2001
Turn on C-Span, or "Meet The Press," or any other media program presenting federal officials. Whatever the issue, it always comes back to the same thing. Our government really has nothing else to offer us but protection from another 9/11. It uses this painful story to cut public services, eliminate our basic rights, and plunder the national coffers. But for many of us, it is not entirely clear from whom we most need protection.1 As our debt explodes and our freedoms diminish, it would be wise to maintain focus on the origins of our War on Terror. No matter where this war leads us, we will need to keep the beginning in mind if we ever hope to see an end.
The Point of Origin: The Collapse of the WTC
Many have found that the 9/11 Commission not only failed to help us understand what happened; it also omitted or distorted most of the facts.2 But if we really want to zero in on the exact turning point around which we plunged into chaos, we need to focus in particular on the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. This is where our hearts were wrenched and our minds were made ready for never-ending war, torture, and apparently the end of everything that was American.… Continue reading

03/15/06 "ICH' — — If you were President George W. Bush with all available US troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war with Iran?
Yes, you would.
Bush's determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does not make sense.
First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a country approximately three times the size in area and population.
Second, Iran can respond to a conventional air attack with missiles targeted on American ships and bases, and on oil facilities located throughout the Middle East.
Third, Iran has human assets, including the Shia majority population in Iraq, that it can activate to cause chaos throughout the Middle East.
Fourth, polls of US troops in Iraq indicate that a vast majority do not believe in their mission and wish to be withdrawn. Unlike the yellow ribbon folks at home, the troops are unlikely to be enthusiastic about being trapped in an Iranian quagmire in addition to the Iraqi quagmire.
Fifth, Bush's polls are down to 34 percent, with a majority of Americans believing that Bush's invasion of Iraq was a mistake.
If you were being whipped in one fight, would you start a second fight with a bigger and stronger person?
That's what Bush is… Continue reading
Detention Camp Jitters
by Maureen Farrell
February 13, 2006
"Recent pronouncements from the Bush Administration and national security initiatives put in place in the Reagan era could see internment camps and martial law in the United States."
— The Sydney Morning Herald, July 27, 2002
In 1984, the Rex-84 readiness exercise program was conducted by 34 federal departments and agencies, reportedly as an exercise to handle an influx of illegal aliens crossing the Mexican/U.S. border. Brought to Americans' attention during the Iran-contra hearings, the exercise, which was conducted alongside another drill, "Night Train 84″ also tested military readiness to round up and detain citizens in case of massive civil unrest.
None of that ever happened, of course, and in many respects, it seems silly to even mention it. After all, other Reagan-era initiatives, like the Armageddon exercises Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld participated in, are far more interesting. Then, too, despite a brief moment of sunlight in the 1970s (when Congress, according to former President and CIA director George H.W. Bush, "unleashed a bunch of untutored little jerks out there"), emergency detention plans had been in place since the 1950s, without incident. Americans have not been herded into camps since World War II, so why worry about it now?
For some, the answer comes in the form of yet another government contract awarded to Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg, Brown & Root to build "temporary detention facilities" in case of an "immigration emergency." Reminiscent of Rex 84, which was… Continue reading

Watch news video here:
(CBS) NEW YORK The Federal General Accounting Office estimates that between 250,000 and 400,000 people lived, worked or went to school, in the ground zero vicinity at the time of the world trade center attacks.
There were 40,000 to 50,000 rescue workers, firefighters, volunteer firefighters, EMS, police and construction workers who worked on the "pile" for some length of time…of 16,000 rescue workers, not firefighters participating in a Mount Sinai Hospital study about half are sick with World Trade Center related diseases. At least three emergency workers have died.
Today, there are strong calls for action from members of New York's Congressional delegation.
Members of the New York congressional delegation say it's a health crisis that can no longer be ignored. They're calling for a federal coordinator, saying such an appointment is critical because of the sheer numbers who are sick or could get sick from the toxics they inhaled after the twin tower attacks.
"They were exposed to a cocktail of poisonous gases, toxins, pulverized cement and glass and these particles are still in the bodies still in their lungs," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (d-Manhattan).
Representatives Carolyn Maloney, Vito Fossella and other members of Congress have demanded that the Bush Administration appoint a 9-11 health czar to deal with the tragic after affects of the twin tower attack. Three responders have already died, including NYC Police Detective James Zadroga, 34, whose funeral was just weeks… Continue reading

In February 2005 , "Speakers at the national meeting of the American Association for Advancement of Science expressed concern Sunday that some scientists in key federal agencies are being ignored or even pressured to change study conclusions that don't support policy positions." Their concerns are well-founded. In June 2005, The New York Times reported that Philip A. Cooney, "removed or adjusted descriptions of climate research that government scientists and their supervisors, including some senior Bush administration officials, had already approved" so as to play down emissions' links to Global Warming. Mr. Cooney served as chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Now, however, he serves Exxon . In July 2005, the EPA purposefully held back incriminating reports about our fuel economy so an Energy Bill that served not the people, but the corporations, would pass. As quoted by CBS News , the energy bill "sends billions of dollars in tax breaks and subsidies to energy companies, but is expected to do little to reduce U.S. oil consumption or dampen high energy prices." The EPA's report stated, "loopholes in American fuel economy regulations have allowed automakers to produce cars and trucks that are significantly less fuel-efficient, on average than they were in the late 1980's." No wonder they didn't want it to be known. We've done nothing to become more fuel-efficient, and in fact, have gone backwards. Now, as a result, we've passed an energy bill that helps us not at all.
So now, horribly, we know what it takes to stir disgust and outrage directed at the federal government, in the hearts of the corporate press corps. It takes a catastrophe of biblical proportions unfolding right before their eyes, right here in America, right in front of their cameras and camera crews, amid the stench of rotting corpses and a heaving mass of literally thousands of sick and dying.
Katrina's aftermath has exposed the 'most powerful country in the world' as literally powerless to help thousands of its most visible citizens in dire, immediate need. This monstrous failure could literally be paradigm-shifting in its effect on the public consciousness.
The power of this story is evident in the accounts from on-location cable correspondents, who usually have no difficulty avoiding serious criticism of the powerful in any situation. But in New Orleans yesterday, several of them could not.
Fox News' Geraldo Rivera and Shepard Smith, for instance, veered wildly off script while reporting from the watery grave New Orleans has become. It took only a few hours holed up in the Superdome to provoke outrage in both of them?not only at the inhuman conditions inside the Louisiana Superdome, where the dead lay rotting next to the living, but that 'hundreds and hundreds and hundreds" of survivors were being denied exit. Have we forgotten already that these people were encouraged to head for the Superdome by authorities? How on earth could they be denied the right to leave an open cesspool?
Fox was… Continue reading
The flooding and flattening of New Orleans and its exposure of this government"s abject failure in preparedness are a shock to the collective psyche of Americans. The human cost of this breakdown in response reveals the stark reality of life for millions in the richest country in the world. News coverage on the BBC truly showed how appalling the human conditions are in New Orleans, presenting us as an embarrassment to the world. Who would have ever thought that conditions normally seen in Sudan or Calcutta would surface here? Even the conservative news networks are exclaiming how inexplicable it is that so much that so much
misery could have been avoided through proper attention and planning. Although
the Army Corp of Engineers had begged for the funding to complete the levees
that would protect New Orleans in the event of a serious hurricane, it was
denied. Now we learn that even FEMA was subjected to budget cut backs under the
new Homeland Security regime. So where is the $40 billion that was appropriated
to secure our country in the event of a terrorist attack? How does that juicy
tax cut during time of war that Dick Cheney thought his wealthy friends were
entitled to look now?
Here we are fighting wars for oil in the mideast, proposing legislation that
would allow oil drilling in the delicate eco-system of Anwar, however,

Editorial: Case strengthens for wine sales in grocery stores
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey predicted last week that the Tennessee General Assembly will approve a bill next year authorizing the sale of wine in grocery stores — in other words that logic, finally, after eight years of trying to break through, will finally emerge in this tiresome debate.
If the alliance of fundamentalists and liquor wholesalers that has kept wine out of liquor stores is indeed defeated, voters in local communities will have the final say.
Making the issue a local option could continue to inconvenience some consumers in some rural areas, but it is probably necessary for political reasons, and presumably in Memphis, Nashville and other urban centers, at least, consumers will be able to eliminate multiple-stop shopping.
Ramsey is not in a position to make any guarantees. The Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association must once again rally public support for the measure and make sure legislators know how popular it is — by postcards, on the web, or whatever.
A Middle Tennessee State poll in 2011 found that 69 percent of the state's residents in favor of wine sales in retail food stores. And it is encouraging to hear that Tennessee might soon join with 33 other states and let go of this antiquated restriction.
Of course, the issue goes beyond convenience for the consumer. Grocery store chains have made decisions about where to site their stores based on Tennessee's perplexing system, which allows beer sales in supermarkets and convenience stores but bars wine and liquor, thus affecting the state's economy.
The public simply doesn't buy the argument that grocery store clerks are capable of checking IDs on beer purchases but somehow are incapable of checking IDs on wine. Or that the corner liquor store can still survive in a state like Missouri or Georgia or Florida, but without its monopoly on wine it just can't make it in Tennessee.
Changing the system — as much as liquor wholesalers and retailers seem to hate the idea — also opens the door to more consumer-friendly liquor stores, which are currently restricted to selling wine and spirits. Allowing liquor stores to offer a wider variety of goods will provide an offset to the end of their current monopoly on wine.
"It's even my understanding that the liquor store owners are sitting down right now trying to figure out what they can live with because they know that it's going to pass," Ramsey was quoted as saying. We hope that's true.

Hands-On: GRID 2
A happy coincidence. I had recently installed Grid, having never played it before and feeling a craving for velocity. I'd gently eased myself into the world of cars wot drift when Codemasters appeared in my inbox, offering a preview code for the sequel. Before playing Grid, I hadn't spent a great deal of time with any racing game for a couple of years, but the series seems to be pitched at those, like me, who want something more complex than a kart game but less intricate than a sim. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre ' and we're off.

Created by Malibu Comics, the company behind ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse'', '''''Street Fighter''''' is a 3 issue [[ComicBookAdaptation comic book series that was adapted]] from the Creator/{{Capcom}} [[FightingGame fighting game]] series, ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.
The comic debuted in 1993, where the ''Street Fighter'' storyline was nothing more than an ExcusePlot [[AllThereInTheManual tucked away in the instruction manual]] of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII''. Despite this, Malibu chose not to use most of it and instead made their own story only keeping certain details. These changes included making Ryu and Chun-Li training partners and a romantic couple, having Ken retire from fighting, becoming Ryu's manager as well as a TV star and [[spoiler: [[DeathByAdaptation getting killed and scalped]] in the second issue]]. Due to these changes, Capcom themselves pulled the plug on the series after three issues.
Not to be mistaken for the [[ComicBook/StreetFighter The UDON Comic]].
!!The series provides the following tropes:
* AscendedMeme: [[UrbanLegendOfZelda Sheng Long]] being the name of Ryu and Ken's master. Sheng Long is actually another way of saying {{Shoryuken}} or the Dragon Punch.
* BarBrawl: Guile gets into one after a dork has the [[SarcasmMode brilliant idea]] of spilling beer on his hair. Despite being vastly outnumbered, [[ConservationOfNinjutsu he kicks every single one of their arses.]]
* BigNo: Ryu [[spoiler: after opening a box and finding Ken's bloody scalp, hinting he was killed]].
-->'''Ryu:''' KEN! MY OLDEST FRIEND!! NO!!!
* CanonForeigner: Nida.
* ComicBookAdaptation
* CompressedHair: Chun-Li whose hair is waist long [[OdangoHair wrapped in tiny little hair buns]].
* ContinuityNod: Despite a few inconsistencies with the source material, the comics follow certain parts of the game's canon
** Chun-Li being an Interpol agent and wanting revenge on Bison for killing her father.
** Ryu's full devotion to training.
** Sagat getting his scar from Ryu's Shoryuken.
* CrossOver: Issue #3 has E. Honda fight one of Malibu's own superheroes, The Ferret.
* UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks
* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: Very likely Ken Masters.]]
* EvilKnockoff: According to WordOfGod, M. Bison's ultimate plan was to replace the world's fighters with these. Furthermore it was hinted the Balrog, Vega and Sagat we saw were also evil clones.
* {{Fireballs}}: The famous [[KamehameHadoken Hadouken]] and Sagat's Tiger Shot, which now appears to literally be made of fire as opposed to energy, although it is called a fireball in the game community as well.
* HeManWomanHater: Ryu who will take no insults from a mere woman, even if it's the strongest woman in the world.
* IceCreamKoan:
--> (Ryu to Chun-Li) "Once you were like this stream... laughing, flowing around life. Now you are like this tree--strong, flexible... but yet rooted in your obsession."
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: Ken is killed by Balrog and Sagat. A clump of his hair is mailed to Ryu.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Ken, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen had the comic continued]]]].
* OffModel: Everywhere, especially with the kids who star in Ken's soda commercial, as well as how poor perspective issues make it look like fireballs are being thrown upward at an angle and landing
* ShoutOut: Ferret reading a newspaper article about [[VideoGame/FinalFight Mike Haggar's]] [[VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters wrestling comeback]].
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The comic spelled Blanka's name Blan'''c'''a.
* TokenMinorityCouple: Ryu and Chun-Li. It's mostly Type A because at the time, Chun-Li was the only prominent female character in the series.

Post your character builds
I usually start off with 125 solar and go for turn healing wave into solar and then buy the orb.
Once i get enough cash then buy the healing bot and focus on either upgrading healing amount of orb damage, speed, attack power. Once the orbs are fully upgraded then i work on the heal wave damage and range. When your a high enough level you can have 2 healing damage increase waves.
Do not use convert healing wave into damage though since its weak for what it really utalizes.
Tips: you play great with clunk and yuri on the team and leon. Also the new dlc tank guy is great for protection and healing.
Heal leons clones especially if they can attack as their act just like bots. Drop your healing becon near the crowd and mash the orbs and your heal wave.
You may not get tons of kills at first but near the end you might get more wins.
clunk build
focus on vacuum bite and increase max health. Then increase bite damage.
Increase your overall health as much as you can and then buy missle upgrades for speed and damage if you want turret and bot kills or go for suicide and slow aura.
Honestly in the right hands clunk is a beast especially with voltar healing him.
Counter builds: anything which shoots through the wave of enemies and healing power. Bullets that pass through mutliple characters.
Lonestar- take health once and max out the dynamite with three sticks, blast range and healing. Then blaster speed and damage. Hes a droid herder who kills characters and turrets.
Derpl: Get the solar generator and the turret and then the nuke and then save up for the 21% shield. Then take turns getting a health up grade, the other shield upgrade and so on then finish that up with the health regenerator. Boost up the power of the nuke and you're gold.
Froggy: Solar generator, speed boost, splash dash, stun increase, cool down - 1.2 then twister, twister shield, twister tweezers, twister duration increase. Throw in some health ups if necessary.
All your children are poor unfortunate victims of systems beyond their control, a plague upon your ignorance and the gray despair of your ugly life.

CAIRO: Ramses II, son of the Sun god, the greatest warrior king and the most prolific builder of ancient Egypt, has been defeated by the rumble and fumes of modern traffic.
His monumental pink granite statue outside Cairo central rail station has all but vanished within a sarcophagus of scaffolding erected to enable experts to prepare it for removal next year to a less polluted site outside the city.
Discovered in 1883 near Memphis, the ancient pharaonic capital, the statue was moved to Cairo in 1954 and has been a landmark ever since.
But the station square, reputedly the most polluted place in Egypt, is fouled by the exhaust fumes of an estimated 900,000 vehicles which jostle and blare their way through it every day, and as long as a decade ago the first of many plans was made to move the god-king.
Director of works Khaled Nasr says Ramses will be unbolted from his concrete pedestal by the end of the year and will begin his journey in February to the site of the Great Egyptian Museum which is to be built near the pyramids of Giza.
The statue is more than 11 meters tall and weighs 80 tons, and before it can be moved it must be checked for signs of damage which might cause it to break in transit.
Khaled Abdel Hadi, director of restoration at Egypt's Higher Council for Antiquities, said the statue was in danger of collapsing due to traffic vibrations, while humidity and exhaust fumes had begun to deface the cartouches which enabled archaeologists to identify it in the first place.
Experts have carried out a surface examination and, when it is finished, the statue will be X-rayed to see whether it has any internal cracks.
The short journey from central Cairo to the museum site on the southern outskirts of the city is expected to last three days and nights and to cost an estimated 6 million Egyptian pounds ($1 million).
The massive statue will be lowered into a metal casing, itself weighing no less than 25 tons, and carried by military tank-transporters, recalling its removal to the city half a century ago.
In 1954, a group of young army officers led by Colonel Gamal Abdel-Nasser had overthrown King Farouk and abolished a monarchy which had become too closely associated with foreign powers.
Nasser wanted to use Ramses to symbolize the authentically Egyptian roots of the new republic.
The statue was greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd and the square in which it was erected was immediately renamed in honor of the pharaoh, instead of Farouk's mother, Queen Nazli.
In its early days, the statue and the fountain at its feet were visible from afar, but they were gradually hemmed in by a mass of overpasses and pedestrian bridges that were meant to ease the flow of people and motor traffic around and across the square but in fact aggravated it.
Ramses II reigned over Egypt for 68 years, from 1304 to 1236 BC, and is believed to have lived to the age of 90.
Ramses II covered the country with monuments to his exploits and his mummy, on display in the National Museum in Cairo, is one of the country's biggest tourist attractions.

Analysis: Doctrine of 'Internet Power' key to dominance in cyber domain
There's plenty of talk about the role of the United States in cyber space. But what's lacking, one expert argues, is a defining doctrine. Ronald Marks, a senior fellow at George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute, joined In Depth with Francis Rose, to discuss his idea for a comprehensive cyber doctrine.

Video: Off-duty Ariz. cop fired for pointing gun at clerk
Rookie Kyle McCartin appeared intoxicated when he entered a gas station wearing a ballistic vest and aimed his gun
Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson, Ariz., police officer has been fired after authorities say he pulled a gun on a gas station attendant while off duty and apparently intoxicated.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department notified Tucson police that 23-year-old Kyle James McCartin was arrested early Tuesday on two counts of aggravated assault.
Deputies were called to a Giant Gas Station and learned two men who appeared very intoxicated entered the store wearing bulletproof vests.
Authorities say one of the men pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the clerk twice.
Deputies found the men at a nearby apartment complex and the clerk identified McCartin as the man with the gun.
Police say McCartin was hired in September and was on probationary status.
It's unclear if he has a lawyer.

Sixth Framework Programme (2000-2006): food quality and safety
This programme aims to guarantee the production and distribution of safer, healthier and more varied foods (vegetable, meat and fish), with a view to increasing the safety and confidence of European citizens.
Council decision 2002/835/EC of 30 September 2002 adopting a specific programme for research, technological development and demonstration: "structuring the European Research Area" (2002-2006) [Official Journal L 294 of 29.10.2002].
For consumers, the most important thing about their food is that it should be safe. Recent crises have shaken the confidence of citizens in the ability of the food industry to guarantee food safety.
In spite of scientific and technical knowledge and increasingly stringent legislation in the agri-foodstuffs sector, the number of food alerts (bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), dioxin, listeriosis, salmonella) has increased in the last decade.
Citizens and consumers expect research to help ensure that foods and commercial products are of a high quality, healthy and perfectly fit for consumption.
In 2000, the Commission published its White Paper on food safety, which provides for a reform of the legislation to make it more coherent and transparent, and the reinforcement of scientific advice structures.
In this context, the Commission and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are working together to guarantee healthy foods for European citizens by improving their understanding of the influence of diet and environmental factors on human health.
The challenges presented in the field of food safety go beyond monitoring and quality control. Biotechnology has opened a vast new field of exploration into new modes of agricultural production and innovative food products such as "functional" foods (foods with a health benefit in addition to the physiological value of the nutrients they contain).
The budget of the 6th Framework Programme for this priority is 685 million euros, with action focussing on the following areas:
- methods and procedures of producing safer, healthier, more nutritious and varied foods and feedstuffs, based on agricultural systems which use fewer inputs and favouring organic farming;
- the epidemiology of disorders linked to food and allergies, including the effects of diet on child health, and the analysis of food allergies;
- the effect on health of novel foods, organic produce, functional foods, products containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products of biotechnology;
- procedures to ensure "traceability" throughout the production chain, in particular with regard to GMOs;
- methods of analysis, detection and control for existing or emerging contaminants, chemicals and pathogenic micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria, yeasts, fungi, etc.);
- the effect of animal diet on human health, including foods containing GMOs;
- health and environmental risks associated with the food chain, the cumulative effect of authorised substances and the effects of long-term exposure to low doses (toxicology).

Haas defeats Kohlschreiber to win BMW Open
Updated: May 5, 2013, 11:36 AM ETAssociated Press

Viewing All
This is a very high quality vest. The construction, design, materials, fit & finish are all top notch. The vest layers well and does a good job of keeping your core warm on mild days (as a standalone). The fit is as described (slim). The Polartec Wind Pro with Hard face Technology and a Deluge DWR do a wonderful job of keeping the elements at bay. The Polartec Power Dry fabric seems to breath fairly well and keeps me dry while engaging in physical activities. The stretch of the fabrics is great as it does not constrain your range of motion while being active. The Pockets are well placed and functional. I purchased the black version of the vest and I have to say I am pleased with how it looks both out in the field and in town. It has a very clean utilitarian styling that works well in many dress combinations. Overall this is quality product that I highly recommend it if you are shopping for a vest. Big thumbs up to Patagonia and Moosejaw!
