A movement is similar to a river: dozens of tributaries, hundreds of streams, and thousands of rivulets, all converging together. Tracing a river's source to a single location is thus impossible. Mapping a movement is more like charting a whole river basin than following a simple stream uphill. As we look at the movement, then, it is not so much a singular thing as a many-pronged flow over complex terrain.
The 911 Truth Movement emerged in a time when America's leadership in the world inspires very mixed feelings. America simultaneously stands for much that is noble and just while also acting as an unaccountable empire. Many patriotic Americans – and the rest of the world as well – are hungry for America to outgrow its Machiavellian power maneuvers and aggressive unilateralism, standing again on the principled freedoms that are built into its foundations.
On this terrain, the storm of the events of 9/11 poured a rain of death, anger, fear, and grief. This stirred compassion, as even the French declared, "We are all Americans." The vast majority of people felt this to be the tragedy it appeared to be: terrorists versus empire, with many innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The Bush administration used this attack as an excuse for invading Afghanistan and Iraq while diminishing rights at home and undermining treaty after treaty. In the wake of America's grief, many tolerated these maneuvers. America was justified, it seemed, in striking out at the terrorists who had struck on its… Continue reading

Citizens can choose to buy the official line on the events of Sept. 11, 2001 or they can ask questions about holes in that story as big as the crater at Ground Zero. This week, at the unlikeliest of locations, the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in west-end Toronto, the International Citizens' Inquiry into 9/11 picks up where it left off in San Francisco in March.
Here, international authors, filmmakers, academics, military and intelligence experts as well as, yes, probably the occasional conspiracy theorist, are mixing it up with ordinary people who can't accept that all the systems simply failed on one terrible and tragic morning.
They're gathering to focus attention on why, still, nearly three years after two planes tore through the World Trade Center, one crashed into the Pentagon and a fourth into a Pennsylvania field, the White House still hasn't produced a plausible explanation for why so much went so wrong all at once.
"To ask questions and to ask them fearlessly," says Citizens' Inquiry director Barrie Zwicker. "This is the heart of this."
Indeed, a majority of Canadians doubt the line out of Washington. A poll conducted for the non-profit inquiry (http://www.911inquiry.org) this month shows that 63 per cent of us believe the U.S. government had "prior knowledge of the plans for the events of September 11th, and failed to take appropriate action to stop them."
The White House still hasn't produced a plausible explanation for why… Continue reading

Dear World Legislators, Parliamentarians, and World Citizens,
We have watched with alarm that the sad and tragic events of 9-11 (11 September, 2001) have resulted in two wars and a global rollback in civil liberties. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, yet it has been attacked in the name of them. People in countries worldwide have suffered reduced civil liberties in the name of 9-11, and intelligence surveillance of ordinary citizens has expanded dramatically.
I submit to you that before any more wars are launched or liberties are lost in the name of the "war on terror" launched by the Bush Administration after 9-11, a full international inquiry into the events leading up to and on 9-11 be held, which includes 9-11 victims' family members from the U.S. and other nations.
The National Green Party of the United States has requested an open independent 9-11 investigation that would involve 9-11 victims' family members. This is a good start, but it must also be an international inquiry in addition that includes 9-11 family members from nations worldwide who lost loved ones in the 9-11 attacks.
We need this to occur because many, including the 9-11 Family Steering Committee (U.S.), are growing increasingly frustrated with the stunning lack of hard questions for witnesses appearing before the 9-11 Commission. Until these hard questions are asked and fully answered, we should refuse more wars, and renounce reduced liberty worldwide in the name of 9-11 and it's resultant war… Continue reading
September Song
A Review of "The New Pearl Harbor"
By Marc Estrin
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11
David Ray Griffin
Olive Branch Press, 2004
Paper, 214 pp, $15.00
The official story goes something like this:
With no actionable warning from intelligence agencies, four planes were hijacked by terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001. Two crashed into the Word Trade Center, which then collapsed, and shortly thereafter, the third into the Pentagon. The last plane went down in Pennsylvania after a struggle between passengers and hijackers. Air defense arrived too late to stop the catastrophes. Responding to this attack on the homeland, the president declared a global war on terror which may last for generations until evil is finally eradicated, the security of America firmly established, and the world made safe for freedom and democracy.
In The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin compiles the evidence that every single assertion in the official story is implausible or impossible, and that something other must explain the inconsistencies and contra-factual assertions.
The implications of the accumulated evidence is that the Bush administration was complicit in the events of September 11th, and not merely a victim of structural problems or incompetence on the part of the intelligence establishment. In a nuanced discussion of "complicity", Griffin distinguishes eight possible levels, from the lying about events to maximize political ends, through intentionally allowing expected attacks, to actual involvement in the planning of them.
Griffin does not make specific accusations, nor does he hypothesize a "true" version of what happened. But he does demand unflinching investigations of all the contradictions, clear reporting of the results, and most difficult, a courageous drawing of conclusions, no matter how "unthinkable" or outrageous they may appear.
Excellent review of Griffin's tour de force by the intrepid Counterpunch crew, one of the few lefty journals willing to even look at that day.
In the months since the book was published, we have been swamped with news from the 9/11 Commission concerning both domestic and foreign intelligence which indicated a large and imminent attack on the United States. But the Commission, its members appointed by President Bush, is focusing on the future. According to Vice-Chair Lee Hamilton, "We're not interested in trying to assess blame…" Their goal is to understand what happened so as to restructure intelligence so that such "a breakdown" may not happen again. Given this limited mandate, almost none of the contradictions Griffin raises is likely to be discussed, or its ramifications analyzed before the case is closed.
The first part of The New Pearl Harbor looks in detail at the timeline and events of 9/11 itself. How is it, Griffin asks, that even the first airplane was not intercepted — given standard procedures, operating normally many times a year, for off-course or otherwise anomalous aircraft? The FAA, NORAD, and the NMCC (National Military Command Center at the Pentagon) have a clear and working set of standard operating procedures which on September 11th, and on that day only, failed to operate. Griffin lays them out, along with the strange, and changing official excuses for their "failure". Continue reading
NEW YORK CITY, NY (June 8, 2004) A new umbrella organization called 911Truth.org today announced the launch of a website to serve as a clearinghouse for the highest quality work of the emerging 911 truth movement. The site highlights the efforts of leading investigators, authors, videographers, and activists calling for a truly independent investigation of still unexplained facts.
According to David Kubiak, executive director of the organization, "The discoveries of independent 9/11 researchers, recent whistleblower testimony, and the demands of victim families have now reached the point where a coordinated approach is necessary. 911Truth.org will introduce the most important news on all these fronts as well as empower activism. Given just the currently known facts, we feel that exposing the full truth of 9/11 before the next election is an urgent and truly patriotic necessity."
After many months of pressure from victim family groups, the Bush administration established the Kean Commission last year to investigate the events of 9/11. This body will conclude its inquiry on July 26. However, many concerned observers have noted that the Commission is deeply compromised by its members' political, financial, and personal ties with those they should be investigating. Kyle Hence, founder of 9/11 Citizens Watch and a member of the 911Truth.org board, said, "Through my work with 9/11 families, I have witnessed growing disillusionment with this investigation's direction, depth and sincerity. I believe it is now obvious that the Commission's findings will reveal little new information because it still refuses to address the hard… Continue reading
IN THE THIRD YEAR AFTER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, the U.S. government still has not answered the most important questions about what really happened. And the official 9/11 Commission has failed to ask.
For too long we have allowed the government to operate in the shadows.
Fighter planes were not dispatched in a timely manner to intercept the 9/11 flights – in blatant violation of longstanding, standard operating procedures. Why? Why did the U.S. chain of command (Bush, Rumsfeld, Gen. Myers) by their own admission remain inactive during the actual attacks?
On the morning of Sept. 11 itself, the U.S. military conducted scheduled wargames to rehearse scenarios that included plane hijackings and an "errant aircraft" crashing into a government building (AP, Aug. 2002).
Even granted this was a coincidence: How can high officials like Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld get away with testifying that "no one could have imagined" planes would be used as weapons against buildings?
Why won't the government identify who made profits by short-selling the stock of United Airlines, American Airlines and the WTC re-insurers in the week before the attacks? Where did the many known advance warnings of the attacks originate? Were these warnings really missed?
The Kean Commission (the official 9/11 investigation currently making headlines) was called to life only after Sept. 11th families lobbied stubbornly for 14 months. The same families have demanded the resignation of the Commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow, for his evident conflicts of interest. Although Zelikow… Continue reading

Dear Peace & Justice Organizers,
There are many ways to promote peace & justice in our world, but when we face an immediate conflict, indeed a promised "war without end," it first helps to step back and look at how it all began. Our current "War on (some) Terror" was birthed, if not conceived, on September 11, 2001. That day was a terrible funeral pyre for many, but a golden opportunity for some.
Only a year before, the Project for a New American Century, a think tank for the neocon crowd that now controls the White House and the Pentagon, published a martial wish list entitled "Rebuilding America's Defenses." Their report outlined our "urgent need" to inflate defense spending, control Mideast oil, deploy exotic new weapons, and reorganize our forces to fight and win several simultaneous wars. Their stated goal was full spectrum global dominance, a "Pax Americana," but they grudged that such a transformation would take forever "absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."
Consider then all the ignored warnings, quashed investigations and missing air defenses that preceded 9/11 and gave them this golden opportunity. And post-9/11 consider Condi Rice's chilling remarks: "Now, we have an opportunity and an obligation to move forward together. Bold and comprehensive changes are sometimes only possible in the wake of catastrophic events… Just as World War II led to a fundamental reorganization of our national defense structure, so has September 11th made possible sweeping changes in the ways we… Continue reading

Published in Newtopia Magazine
A mass movement and a mountain of disturbing evidence has been growing beneath the radar of U.S. media. The U.S. media (including alternative media) has done an extraordinarily superhuman job of "hearing" "seeing" and "speaking no evil." However, almost immediately after 9-11-2001's horrendous attacks on New York and Washington D.C., many researchers, ordinary citizens, and journalists [who've been given precious little print in U.S. papers or TV] began to smell something rotten . . . not in Denmark . . . but rather, right here in the good ol' US of A.
This movement's early roots began when many people scratched their heads in wonder at "how 4 commercial jet liners could fly hijacked for nearly an hour and a half the morning of 9-11, without any Air Force fighter interceptor jets turning a wheel until it was too late," as stated by acclaimed Canadian TV journalist, Barry Zwicker. Zwicker's powerful documentary "The Great Deception," which suggests top Bush Admin. officials were likely complicit in the 9-11 attacks, aired on Canada's Vision TV network which is viewed by millions of Canadians. Unfortunately Americans in the U.S. have been "protected" from viewing this critical documentary. Researchers, like Zwicker and others, quickly learned that in 2001 before the 9-11 attacks 62 aircraft had been intercepted by Air Force fighter interceptor jets, and usually within 10 to 15 minutes of going off course.
Yet bizarrely, on 9-11 four commercial jets were hijacked off course for about… Continue reading
Milwaukee, WI: Populist Texan lawyer, David Cobb, won a stunning second round victory over Ralph Nader's forces to take the Green Party's 2004 presidential nomination last Saturday. In another remarkable break with and for political commonsense, Cobb became the first US candidate for high public office to ever publicly call for 9/11 truth.
The move reflects increasing party concern with the corporate coup, media censorship, and the suspect convenience of 9/11 to justify long planned attacks on oil-rich lands, the environment and the Constitution. The convention crowd of over 800 delegates loudly cheered Cobb's fiery acceptance speech as he condemned Washington's bipartisan full spectrum dishonesty on these issues and backed a Green push for full spectrum disclosure:
"One of the things that the Greens are doing is creating a space and a political party for us to tell the truth! We must tell the truth. We must tell the truth about the ecological catastrophe that is looming. We must tell the truth about a racist and sexist and classist country and world. And we must force our elected representatives to tell the truth about whatever happened on September 11th, 2001!"
Green 9/11 activists were particularly evident in the delegations from California, Florida, Maine and of course New York. Indeed earlier in the day when the New York delegation got the traditional 60 seconds of mike time before announcing its vote count, instead of using this spotlight to tout the state's glories, it… Continue reading
Minuteman Reports from the Summer of Truth
July 15, 2004 (Bastille Day plus one) Vol. 1, No. 1
by the 911Truth.org Coalition
The autistic media silence notwithstanding, there is now enough exciting stuff happening to, for and courtesy of the 9/11 Truth movement that it's time to start developing a news service for ourselves. These brief weekly bulletins are intended as a first step in that direction and we invite your help with news tips, backing and distribution spams.
Progress reports in this first outing are short and sweet and cover the following ground:
Reports on the Fahrenheit 9/11 and Peace & Justice 9/11 Eureka Campaigns
9/11 education drives at the Boston Social Forum, the Alliance for Democracy and Veterans for Peace conventions, and Democratic National Convention.
Often when we report that "we" are doing something it means "we" in the very widest sense. Many times the people carrying out these actions including Fahrenheit 9/11 leafleting, sign hoisting, house party organizing and other 9/11 visibility actions are self-starting web site visitors who we have never seen or met. This contagious spread of 9/11 action and awareness across the heartland is obviously the most important aspect of our work and one that "we" hope you will report on as well as provoke on your own.
All these campaigns depend on that widening and any help on this front — whether physical, fiscal or tactical —… Continue reading
& The July 25 Antiwar Demo in Boston
(A personal report by Nicholas Levis, July 27)
Several thousand people from around the world attended last weekend's Boston Social Forum to promote cooperation and cross-pollination among social justice movements. I don't believe there has been this kind of energy, urgency and enthusiasm tied to a global perspective for far-reaching change since the decline of the Sixties movements. More than ever, people know that it all fits together: ecology, local economics and global finance, social justice, minority rights, women's rights, the need for democratization, putting an end to the new global feudalism, imperialism and perpetual war. Most impressive was the obvious vitality of a wildly diverse, growing and determined American opposition to Bush, which understands that unseating him is only the beginning.
There were more than 600 events scheduled along ten "tracks," and although the average time block featured about 30 simultaneous meetings, every room I passed seemed to be packed. I can hardly report on the whole thing!
A contingent of 9/11 Truth activists visited the Boston Social Forum to promote our own activities. We found that 9/11 Truth has turned into a welcome cause among antiwar, peace and social justice activists. The vast majority are willing to listen, they no longer consider screwy the idea that intel elements inside and outside the U.S. government allowed the attacks or were complicit. Nearly everyone in the scene by now has seen the Deception Dollar and is at least aware of our theses.… Continue reading
The goal of our efforts here for the next three months should be to expose the truth of 9/11 before the election – or before whatever event is arranged to upstage the election.
And what is "the truth"?
The truth is that from the first, the 9/11 events were exploited without compunction to the benefit of the military-industrial-intelligence complex and the Bush cabal. 9/11 was used to justify long-planned invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan that may have otherwise been politically infeasible – to push through a long-standing domestic wish-list of repressive measures like the USA PATRIOT Act – and to shift trillions in budgeting priorities from butter to guns. The administration declared a perpetual "War on Terrorism" that "will not end in our lifetimes" (Cheney), which has been waged largely against peoples and countries universally acknowledged to have had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, as with the unprovoked invasion of Iraq. As a response to anti-American terrorism, this strategy seems intentionally designed to make the problem much worse in the long run. Before 9/11, the hardliners of Project for a New American Century admitted they needed an enemy. Now they are making sure that there will always be one.
Based on the open-source evidence available to date, the truth of 9/11 is that the attacks could not have happened in the way they did without help on the inside of the U.S. government or within the vast hidden government apparatus. A real investigation (by whatever body) would have… Continue reading
Those who would expose 9/11 truth face daunting obstacles: A government shrouding the evidence in secrecy. A near-blackout in the mass media about the anomalies associated with Sept. 11. Widespread denial and resistance to even imagining hypotheses that deviate from the official story.
(911Truth.org Editorial – August 20, 2004)
Frustrated 9/11 researchers may naturally wish for an instant smoking gun, a killer clue like the one invariably discovered by detectives on the TV show CSI, something to finish off the official story in a single blow. Unfortunately, this impulse invites a lot of misinformation, spurious theories, and e-mail reports from fabricated whistleblowers. Many of these notions are packaged as bombshell revelations in the area of physical evidence.
These "discoveries" typically misinterpret some sliver of evidence, often building an edifice on little more than a few low-resolution stills from video. An early player in this game was the "Webfairy," who claims that the video of the first tower attack (as taken by the Naudet Brothers on 9/11) does not show an airliner but rather a missile or mystery object. For a complete dismantling of this fallacy, along with a professional's introduction to standards for assessing video evidence, we recommend the articles by Eric Salter at questionsquestions.net/WTC/767orwhatzit.html and his recent follow-up at questionsquestions.net/WTC/webfairy.html . Salter explains why it is important for 9/11 truth activists to confront the spread of false evidence head-on in his discussion of Gerard Holmgren, a writer who has… Continue reading

Half of New Yorkers Believe U.S. Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9/11 Attacks and "Consciously Failed" To Act;
66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York's Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals
(Utica, NY) – On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders "knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act," according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.5.
The poll is the first of its kind conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy. Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim.
The charge found very high support among adults under 30… Continue reading

Real Madrid star David Beckham is convinced he can play for England in the 2010 World Cup.
The Sun says England's comeback king will be 35 by then but reckons he could still to do a job for the Three Lions.
After starring in Wednesday's 3-0 Euro 2008 qualifier win in Estonia, Becks said: "I believe I can play for many, many years at the top level. A lot of things change but I feel I can go on."
The midfielder, who set up two goals against the Group E minnows, will join MLS side LA Galaxy from Spanish giants Real Madrid later this summer.
But he insists neither age nor the travelling back to Europe should get in the way of his amazing ambition of making the finals of four World Cups.
Steven Gerrard is certainly backing Becks for the Euro 2008 finals. The Liverpool midfield star, 27, said: "We want Becks at Euro 2008.
"If he keeps playing at the level he is now I don't see why he can't be at Euro 2008."

This review is from: Predator (Widescreen) (DVD)
This review is for THIS DVD of Predator: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000E1120M/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_img_sol_0
Predator is one of those movies that'll grow on you eventually. I didn't like this movie at first, but now I appreciate it for what it is--a turn-your-brain-off action fest.
Basically this movie is about a team of rescuers (led by Arnold Schwarzenneger (Dutch) himself) who are sent into the jungle to rescue a team of soldiers that were supposedly shot down by guerrilla forces. However, things take a turn for the worse when they realize they are being stalked by a murderous predator (pun intended) from another world. As the Predator picks them off one by one, things culminate to an ingenius (and underrated) one-on-one showdown between Dutch and the Predator.
This is probably the best DVD you're gonna find for this movie. It's got great sound, great picture, and widescreen, as advertised. Also the box is reliable and very good. I received this used and in great condition, with a slip cover.
Overall, *** out of *****

GIF It Up: Flipping Out At Talladega Superspeedway
Chris Graythen-Getty Images North America
Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway didn't have the "Big One". But a few drivers still got caught up in some craziness at 'Dega over the weekend ... expecially during Saturday's Camping World Truck Series race.
Miguel Paludo made sparks fly after flipping on his roof during the massive final-lap wreck that took out 12 trucks. Luckily, he'd be fine.
Then on Sunday, Austin Dillon and the No. 14 caught air during the final laps of the Sprint Cup race. Junior Nation would also flip at the resulting yellow flag.

North Carolina courts recognize a limited exception to the normal employment at-will doctrine. If an employee is terminated for reasons that violate state public policy, the plaintiff may pursue a common law tort claim to address the personal injury suffered. Last week, the North Carolina Court of Appeals issued a decision analyzing the types of damages that a jury may award to a successful plaintiff in a wrongful discharge action.
Blakely v. Town of Taylortown involved a wrongful discharge claim by the former Chief of Police who claimed he was terminated for refusing to disclose to Town Council members the identities of confidential police informants. In addition to back wages and other economic damages, the jury awarded the plaintiff damages for emotional distress and for future lost wages. The defendant appealed, claiming that these types of damages are not available under the state's wrongful discharge tort.
The Court of Appeals disagreed, affirming (although slightly reducing) the damages award. The court refused to impose a standard for damages that would require extreme and outrageous conduct by the defendant, instead adopting the standard damages criteria applicable in other tort actions. In other words, the plaintiff does not have to demonstrate severe emotional damages to recover for emotional distress.
Although plaintiffs do not succeed in many wrongful discharge claims, this decision means that jury verdicts in these matters can include more than the employee's actual economic losses, without the need to show extraordinarily bad conduct on the part of the employer. Employers faced with suits for wrongful discharge should take these possibilities into account when determining their approach toward defense of the claims.

FAITH & VALUES: National Day of Prayer aligns spiritual with community
The National Day of Prayer is a transcontinental event, yet it is just as much about local communities.
Held the first Thursday of every May, the event brings together people at neighborhood venues large and small, religious and secular, where they pray for that collective community ---- and the people who serve it.
Numerous events across the region will bring community residents from different churches and faiths together for prayer Thursday, as the National Day of Prayer turns 61 years old. The original National Day of Prayer was approved by Congress in 1952, and signed into action by President Harry Truman. President Barack Obama will deliver an official proclamation to commemorate the day, and this year's theme of "One Nation Under God," based on Psalm 33:12.
Speakers at most events in the region will include elected officials, educators, business leaders, and police, fire and military personnel. Those who will offer prayers include the community residents who rely on these public servants.
"There is prayer in our churches, but events like these offer a different kind of opportunity, the chance to pray with ---- and for ---- the people who help lead us," Escondido event co-organizer Dick Bridgeman said. "At the same time, it's the chance for all of us to recognize what prayer can do, how it can help us every day.
"All are welcome to show up and pray, as we share prayer, and the different ways of prayer," said Bridgeman, a member of the North County Prayer Breakfast, an informal intefatih group that meets monthly and is organizing Thursday's event. He said the annual event draws people from Escondido, San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo and beyond, as well as many different faith traditions.
"We probably have around 60 churches represented, but the real idea is to become one as a community, rather than as individual churches," Bridgeman said.
Escondido's annual prayer breakfast will be held from 7 to 9 a.m. Thursday at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, 340 N. Escondido Blvd. Some 400 people are expected at the prayer breakfast, featuring a keynote talk by Dave Carey, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. The cost is $25. Visit www.ncpbsd.com.
"We'll also have four or five people take a couple of minutes to share how prayer has impacted their lives," said Bridgeman. "We try to center everything around prayer and what it means in people's lives."
The Carlsbad and Oceanside Republican Women Federated will hold a nondenominational National Day of Prayer Community Prayer Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. Thursday at the Hilton Garden Inn, 6450 Carlsbad Blvd., Carlsbad. Former Sen. Bill Morrow will speak, while Catholic radio host Mary Moran will serve as emcee. Welcome remarks will be made by Carlsbad Mayor Pro Tem Ann Kulchin. Tickets are $30. Visit carlsbadrepublicans.com or oceansiderepublicanwomen.com.
The city of Encinitas, meanwhile, hosts the 19th annual Mayor's Interfaith Community Prayer Breakfast from 7:15 to 9 a.m. Thursday at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive. The event is presented with the San Dieguito Interfaith Ministerial Association.

Using the Wilson–Cleary model of patient outcomes as a conceptual framework, the impact of functional status on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older adults was examined, including tests of the mediation provided by life-space mobility.
Participants were enrollees in a population-based, longitudinal study of mobility among community-dwelling older adults. Data from four waves of the study equally spaced approximately 18 months apart (baseline, 18, 36, and 54 months) were used for participants who survived at least 1 year beyond the 54-month assessment (n = 677). Autoregressive mediation models using longitudinal data and cross-sectional mediation models using baseline data were evaluated and compared using structural equation modeling.
The longitudinal autoregressive models supported the mediating role of life-space mobility and suggested that this effect is larger for the mental component summary score than the physical component summary score of the SF-12. Evidence for a reciprocal relationship over time between functional status, measured by ADL difficulty, and life-space mobility was suggested by modification indices; these model elaborations did not alter the substantive meaning of the mediation effects. Mediated effect estimates from longitudinal autoregressive models were generally larger than those from cross-sectional models, suggesting that mediating relationships would have been missed or were potentially underestimated in cross-sectional models.
These results support a mediating role for life-space mobility in the relationship between functional status and HRQoL. Functional status limitations might cause diminished HRQoL in part by limiting mobility. Mobility limitations may precede functional status limitations in addition to being a consequence thereof.

Asia stocks fall amid US budget impasse
Monday - 3/4/2013, 4:18am EST
AP Business Writer
BANGKOK (AP) -- Uncertainty about the outcome of a budget battle in Washington pushed Asian stock markets lower on Monday.
President Barack Obama and his political opponents have failed so far to agree on a way to roll back automatic spending cuts that took effect Friday. Those cuts slash $85 billion from the nation's budget, which could slow down the economy.
U.S. lawmakers say they want to undo the cuts so that federal programs can be spared but are divided over whether higher taxes should be used to pay for them.
Evan Lucas of IG Markets in Melbourne said he believes the budget fight is just "another political distraction that will cause some investors to cash out and buy back in on the dips."
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 1.3 percent to 22,582.87, dragged down by property shares that tumbled after China's Cabinet ordered new measures to cool surging housing prices. The government said it will raise required minimum down payments in areas where prices are deemed to be rising too fast and crack down on efforts to evade limits on how many properties each buyer can acquire.
"The policy was already given out two weeks ago but last Friday, more details came out," said Linus Yip, strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong. That sent real estate shares lower. Hong Kong-listed Poly Real Estate plunged 10 percent. China Resources Land nosedived 7.7 percent. China Vanke Co., listed in Shenzen, shed 6.1 percent.

Green Country Farm is a small cattle operation outside of San Antonio Texas. We have grown blackberries for friends for 30 years. Recently we put in 1/2 acre for a pick-your-own operation. From the outset we have done this totally organically. We look forward to our first harvest beginning in May.
Our berry patch is heavily mulched to reduce weeds and make the patch user friendly. In addition, if the weather permits, we will offer a children's maze for our customers. We are anxious to see if doing this organically will draw more customers.
All organic blackberries. Either pick-your-own or pre-picked.

LocationOakville, ON L6J7R8
Funding Level$50k - $100k (< 2014)
Community SizeMore than 1,000
OverviewWEE SHARE CHARITIES
I've lived in Co-op housing for over 12 years. As a former model, trained at Patricia Stevens, I would like to train children who live in other coops as models. The kids I would train would be of different ethnic backgrounds, I had the pleasure of training 4 (2) being former neighbors. Once these kids are professionally trained, I would like to approach children's stores for donations of clothing for runway fashion shows. The reason I incorporated the above name, because of my own name Sharon Weekes.
Once this idea is implemented, my plan is to take these shows on the road (provided the kids are not in school i.e. march breaks summer, with permission from the parents)
I intend to donate a portion of these proceeds to charities. My son has MS. I first presented this idea to the SEB in Mississauga, small business coaches worked with me to put my idea on paper, and was presented with a logo. It was shot down by one of the coaches, so I ended up just putting my idea to bed. I became excited again, when I saw your ad on TV. To be able to help others has always been my passion, and I would love to be able to launch this idea.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so. I did approach 1 of the Thrift stores and they were very interested. As part of my research, I also approached Sick Kids Hospital, and was told that I could go on line to find out how they can help. I live in Oakville, where residents love helping out, so I don't think there would be any problem with clothing donations. Exposure through advertising for retail chains can also be arranged. My plan is to do seasonal shows, to launch new designs for every season, my sister who is a fashion stylist, studied in France, can be part of my team.
One of my former neighbors "J" who I trained, lost her Dad by a sudden death. I became J's mentor, had it not been for her fashion sense, and gaining her self confidence she would not have survived her home eviction. J who is now 12 years, is back on her feet and her grades are back on track. I am so proud that I was a part of this. I am also proud that I hold a certificate for The Childrens Aid Society, got acquainted with some of our youth as a volunteer driver.
I am at present a Board Member of Hosanna Outreach Ministries , we feed all homeless whether young or old. The Director and her husband, who are Pastors also reached out to J and her Mother, to offer a helping hand.
Under my charity "Wee Share" I intend to reach out to all whether young or old, by taking my shows to the underprivileged, and seniors.
kindly review the changes I've made,
I believe that I am now eligible for the youth prize
Thank you,
Sharon Weekes 905-829-0284

This piece is adapted from Dave's full review of the Willow Creek Association's Global Leadership Summit at our sister site, BuildingChurchLeaders.com. Be sure to read the full version if you like what's here.
Or if you like Taylor Swift, who makes a couple surprise appearances.
1. Leadership requires courage in large amounts. And because Bill Hybels devoted his entire opening talk on this topic, it must be an issue for many other leaders and not just me. Whew, what a relief! Too often, leadership talks leave me feeling wildly inadequate to continue under the weight of an organization rather than motivated to make a difference. Speakers certainly don't set out with that goal, but many messages share the ideal rather than what's real. They can come just short of saying, "C'mon, it's just that easy," while leaving out the barriers and challenges.
Leadership is many things, but easy is not one.
The very welcome turn down reality road came immediately after Hybels said, "God didn't make you a leader so that you could merely reside in a position—God made you a leader to move people from 'here' to 'there.'"
He continued, "It looks so easy when I just draw this on a chart. But it is a battle. It requires courage."
"Finally," I whispered to myself, "someone admits it's not so simple. I'm gonna make it."
Hybels' continued use of Joshua 1:9, God's words to a new leader, etched that verse into my active memory: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Special emphasis belongs on the words "be strong and courageous."
2. Leaders get hurt. A lot. Hybels shared more reality: Leaders stand as lightning rods for criticism intended for their organization, them personally, or any other axe that needs grinding. Maybe that's why God included the words "do not be discouraged" in his encouragement to Joshua, along with the source of strength to combat the negative: "for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
The only wise choice: Forgive and move on. Enough said.
3. "You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort, but you can't have both. They are mutually exclusive. So when you sign up to be brave you are signing up to get your butt kicked." Dr. Brene Brown shared this truth, which complements point 1 above.
It feels good to hear people talk about leadership in such honest tones. It makes me feel like I'm not crazy when I'm sore from the kicks. And when interviewing people for leadership positions, her point makes a great item to discuss. "So you realize that in this role you'll get your butt kicked?"

Good stuff. I especially like the comment about writing it all on a chart and how it looks easy. There are so many things that look really good on paper: Communism or the New York Jets' offense, but that does not mean that will work out well in real life or be easy to accomplish. Something can look so easy on paper, but it takes on a new dimension when we actually live it out.

Since the first system was invented in 1957, blood gas analysis has revolutionized clinical medicine and patient care. During the 1960s, blood gas analysis became almost universally available, and blood gases were considered "the most important laboratory test for critically ill patients," according to a www.bloodgas.org article by Dr. John Severinghaus, inventor of the blood gas analysis system.
Blood gas tests determine whether a patient has enough oxygen in his blood and whether or not that blood is pH balanced. The tests reveal levels of pH (indicating blood's acid/base status), pO2 (how much oxygen is dissolved in blood), PCO2 (how much carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in blood), as well as other parameters like O2 saturation and HCO3. Blood samples are collected from an artery, usually the radial artery in the wrist, but also can be taken from the brachial or femoral arteries. For infants, capillary blood may be taken from a heelstick. In addition to arterial sampling, blood gas panels can be ordered on blood drawn through a central venous line to estimate cardiac output.
Blood gas analysis is performed by trained health-care providers in a hospital, emergency room, or large clinical laboratory. These tests are "stat" tests, meaning they should be done as quickly as possible after sample collection. For arterial blood gases (ABGs), the collected sample degrades quickly and, if any testing delay is expected, it should be kept on ice and rewarmed later for accurate analysis. If, after sample collection, any air bubbles remain in the top of the syringe, they must be removed. After the needle is capped, the syringe is then placed on ice and transported for immediate analysis.
To reduce transport as well as turnaround time, especially for the most seriously ill patients, many analyzers are located in or near

Down 15, Rockets rally but lose to Thunder 105-102
OKLAHOMA CITY After getting blown out three nights earlier, the Houston Rockets were down 15 points in the fourth quarter and facing the long odds of needing to make a comeback against the Western Conference's top team without starting point guard Jeremy Lin.
The Rockets proved they were up to the task. They just couldn't close the deal.
Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant each scored 29 points, and the Oklahoma City Thunder recovered after squandering their big lead to beat Houston 105-102 on Wednesday night and take a 2-0 series lead.
"We fought hard and we played really well, and a lot of things didn't go our way, but I think it gives us confidence going forward that we can definitely beat these guys," said Chandler Parsons, who scored 17 points.
"We're definitely not scared of them."
Lin sat out the second half because of a muscle contusion in his chest.
"It's easily the most frustrating thing that has happened this entire season," said Lin, who played in all 82 games this season. "I've been healthy, and then the second half of a playoff game on the road where we're playing well in Game 2."
Lin said X-rays were negative and he could be able to play in Game 3 if spasms stop.
"Our team is a young team and we're not a perfect team by any stretch of the imagination, but they'll fight," coach Kevin McHale said. "They're a bunch of scrappers. They'll go out and fight you for it. So, I knew our team would play well today. That's who they are."
The Thunder's big lead melted away with nine straight empty possessions as the Rockets mixed in a zone defense. James Harden spearheaded a 21-2 Houston comeback by getting into the lane to create his own opportunities, and he also kicked the ball out to set up two 3-pointers by Carlos Delfino. His second 3, from the right wing, provided a 95-91 lead with 3:27 to go.
But the Rockets couldn't keep it up.
Oklahoma City came back to tie it before Harden knifed to the basket for a layup to give Houston its last lead at 97-95 with 2:42 to play.
Durant answered 14 seconds later with a deep 3 from the left wing, and the Thunder wouldn't give up the lead again. Oklahoma City came up with back-to-back stops before Thabo Sefolosha's 3 provided a little breathing room at 101-97.
Parsons, who went tumbling to the court as Sefolosha shot, said Oklahoma City center Kendrick Perkins prevented him from closing out on the shooter.
"It was obvious what Perkins did to me. He grabbed me with two hands and I couldn't go out there and contest Sefolosha," he said. "It's part of the game."
Serge Ibaka added a long jumper to make it 103-98 after the Rockets forced Durant to give up the ball. Durant and Kevin Martin, both in the top 5 in the league in free-throw percentage, both went 1 for 2 at the foul line in the final 12 seconds to give the Rockets one last chance.

Wonderful! Quick, delicious, perfect for guests. It keeps well for a day or two in a ziplock bag. Have made this 5 times in the past 3 weeks for various occasions. Tonight I am taking it as a gift to a wine and cheese party.
I made this for a party accompanied with the GOAT CHEESE WITH OLIVES, LEMON, AND THYME. It is very easy to make ahead and tasty.
Very good, if a little dry. Excellent served with gazpacho and used to scoop up the soup.
The first time I made this, I used all whole wheat flour from wheat I grew myself, and amazingly, it worked fine. It was the first thing I have made with my own wheat. The second time, I used half white flour and half whole wheat, and I thought it was a little better in texture: it hung together better. Both times, everybody wanted the recipe. It is easy and kind of satisfyingly primitive looking.
So easy - and better than any cracker you can buy. I agree with the previous reviewer that this would make an excellent hostess gift. We cooked it on the pizza stone with great success. It is a perfect match for the eggplant/capers/mint dish and the goat cheese/olives/lemon/thyme recipe. We made it twice this week. It is actually better the next day - just wrap in plastic.
True to the description, these were incredibly easy to make. I'll bring them instead of a bottle of wine when invited to dinner parties!
Easy and delicious. I increased the amount of rosemary in the dough because it's so delicious. I also had better luck getting a pretty toasted color when I placed the rack near the top of my oven, rather than in the middle as the recipe says.
This flatbread was brilliant. I made not more than 8 minutes and it was perfect, just starting to turn brown but still whiteish. I will try with different herbs, like lemon thyme or sage

By Alan Scherstuhl
Beyond their childhood traumas, the couple's larger disagreements seem only to be about moviesEli aghast that Tom hasn't seen Gone With the Wind, Tom miffed that Eli thought In & Out was fun. The doomed gridlock of the central gay bond is glibly contrasted with the rapture of the straight best friends who introduced them (Adam Goldberg and Sasha Alexander). Don Roos's The Opposite of Sex is an inevitable comparison given Roos's executive producer credit and negligible cameos by Lisa Kudrow and Christina Ricci. But unlike that film, which needled sexual IDs every which way, All Over the Guy is muted and drab. Director Julie Davis, who previously lensed the slight, Woody Allen-ish indie I Love You, Don't Touch Me!, is stuck in the same fear-of-intimacy groove. And that tune, as the nerdy Eli says, is "so 1991."
His Majesty, The Scarecrow of Oz
Written and directed by L. Frank Baum
Opens August 10
Made in 1914 and directed by L. Frank Baum himself, His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz stars Pierre Couderc as the Tin Woodsman (he previously played the title role in The Patchwork Girl of Oz), looking very cool in mailed and beaded undies. He finds his first encounter with Wicked Witch Mombi so repellent that he decapitates her. Incensed, Mombi turns Pon (a gardener in love with King Krewl's niece, Princess Gloria) into a Kangaroo, a character who is yet another chance for the genius of Fred Woodward, "King of All Animal Personators," to shine. Suited up in hyperreal animal outfits with moving eyes and mouths, Woodward eerily incarnates the Cowardly Lion, the Cow, the Mule, and the Crow, who dances funky with his titular nemesis. Majesty's reissue is a delirious and loony surprise in this season of nattier ape-suits.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Please god help sonic now a days. Got this game for like 5$ on ebay and boy was it just barely worth it. I actually didn't have a problem for the first 2hours, I actually liked it, but then I thought about how long the loadings were for certain things that were stupid and I started disliking it greatly, good for sonic fans and people with patience which I usually have, but not for this game.

THE local Malaysian Indian movie industry received a boost from Astro via its Vaanavil Drama Producing Project 2010 recently.
A total of RM1.35mil has been allocated for 27 local production houses with a fixed grant of RM50,000 each to produce their dramas for the TV station.
This is the Indian channel's first endeavour in the local drama arena in their aim to provide opportunities to produce more dramas for Astro and to discover new and fresh content.
Vaanavil has always had a commitment to support the development of the Malaysian Indian movie industry by giving local content more airtime on its platform.
"Local talent development is always our ultimate objective and we have conducted various programmes to create opportunity for Malaysian talents," said Astro content management group director Dr Rajamani Chellamuthu.
Astro has organised several singing contests, competitions for short film and dance, workshops and music training courses in the past.
The company received close to 50 entries for the drama contest from all over the country from production houses or businesses with principal activities involving the audio and visual production of media content and are licensed by Finas.
A panel of three well-known judges were appointed to select the 27 best scripts for the second round based on the story, script, screenplay and originality.
Later, the selected applicants were called in to attend a pitching session to elaborate on the theme, screenplay, characterisations and cast.
"Besides giving opportunity to local producers and directors, this project will also create a platform for new actors, actresses, writers, dancers and music directors," he added.
The successful producers were invited for a cheque presentation ceremony attended by Deputy Plantations, Industries and Commodities Minister Datuk G. Palanivel, members of the local Indian movie industry and members of the media recently.
Palanivel in his speech congratulated Astro on their endeavour, saying that the network had successfully brought the Indian community closer.
"You (Astro) have worked towards community development and I have no doubt you will be able to tap into new markets especially in Europe, North America, Singapore and even India because the Malaysian context is different," he added.
The 27 production houses will produce two episodes of 20 to 25 minutes each for Astro Vaanavil within the next two months.
Each participant will be given RM20,000 from the total allocated amount in advance to produce the drama.
The remaining amount will be given upon completion of the drama.
Catch all these dramas on Vaanavil (Channel 201) starting from Ponggal 2011.
