Shoshana Hebshi, a half-Jewish, half-Arab woman from Ohio is suing Frontier Airlines, the FBI, TSA and other governmental agencies after she says she was forced off a flight, strip-searched, and imprisoned on the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks.
On September 11, 2011, 36-year-old Hebshi – whose mother is Jewish and father is Saudi – says a security official aimed a gun at her and forced her to disembark a flight from Denver to Detroit after two South-Asian men seated next to her made repeated trips to the bathroom during the flight, raising suspicion amongst fellow travelers.
Hebshi said she was ordered to put her dead down and arms out, and was removed by officials in handcuffs, being taken to a "dirty cell" at Detroit Metro Airport where she was held for over four hours, including a strip search during which she was made to stand spread eagle and cough.
The two other men – who did not know each other – were ultimately released after undergoing similar circumstances.

The states thus have by far the greatest share of regulatory responsibility for overseeing medical uses of radiation. The consensus view is that the smaller, NRC-regulated portion of the field—which concerns uses of byproduct materials—is more stringently regulated than the state-regulated portions, which concern uses of NARM and machine-produced radiation. This view is discussed in later sections of the chapter. Table 3.1 lists the states and indicates the type of regulatory programs in place in each. The unofficial Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD) data were collected for the Profile of State and Local Radiation Control Programs over a nine-year time span. The data are updated sporadically and do not necessarily reflect the current status of every state, because they have not been updated since 1993. Because no record of which changes were made in the 1993 data update exists, it is impossible to provide a date for when the information was obtained. In the ''legislation" column, "mandated" indicates those states compelled to adopt regulations and implement programs (although this process can take a fair amount of time); "authorized" indicates that a state is authorized to adopt regulations and implement a program but is not required to do so. The "date" column refers to the date of the current statute, whereas the "original date" column indicates the date when the state first created a statute that addressed licensing and registration of NARM.
Although state laws, regulations, and administrative practices vary, states can and do achieve a level of uniformity in many areas through cooperative, voluntary, and informal arrangements. The most noteworthy example of such arrangements in the regulation of ionizing radiation is the publication called Suggested State Regulations for Control of Radiation (SSRCR), which forms the basis for most state and local radiation protection programs. The SSRCR is a group of voluntary suggested guidelines prepared in the form of draft regulatory language available for state adoption. The SSRCR was first issued in 1962 by the Council of State Governments, with advice and assistance from the AEC and the U.S. Public Health Service. It has been regularly revised and updated to reflect changes in standards and technology and to incorporate changes in mandatory and voluntary federal regulations.
Today, these model regulations are prepared and published by the CRCPD. The CRCPD, established in 1968, is a not-for-profit network of state and local government radiation regulators. Although it has no independent regulatory authority, it is actively involved in information sharing and technical assistance activities. The CRCPD membership represents both NRC Agreement States and states directly regulated by the NRC; thus, it participates in implementing and providing feedback on NRC regulations. It was also involved, with the FDA and the American College of Radiology, in developing the MQSA and establishing the Nationwide Evaluation of X-Ray Trends program, which collects information and produces recommendations for planning and evaluating x-ray and computed tomography scan control programs.

New body to reopen 'cold' rights cases
A new body tasked to handle extrajudicial killings and other abuses is set to release a list of "cold" human rights cases that may be revived for reinvestigation and possible prosecution of the perpetrators.
The Inter-Agency Committee (IAC) on Extrajudicial Killings and Human Rights Violations will be identifying the cases that investigators should prioritize, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima told a forum at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.
"Part of the mandate of the IAC is to reopen those cold cases, with the hope of having successful prosecution. In our second meeting next week, we will come up with a list of priority cases to ensure there are convictions in those cases," she said.
She said the committee's technical working group, which she heads, will base its list of unsolved extrajudicial killings on a new working definition of the term.
Defining EJK
"Before there were many definitions of extrajudicial killings, or EJKs. Our working definition of EJKs is that the victim was targeted because of his affiliation with militant organizations and because of his advocacies," De Lima said.
De Lima said these would include the killing of environmentalists, including antimining advocates.
"And the offender is either a state actor, a state agent, or a nonstate agent. We are not limited to state agents," she said.
The murder of media practitioners would also be considered an EJK, though on a separate list, she said.
The IAC was created by President Aquino last November under Administrative Order No. 35.
It is composed of representatives from the justice, local governments and national defense departments, and the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, Office of the Presidential Adviser for Political Affairs, Presidential Human Rights Committee, the Armed Forces, the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation.
No law for killings
De Lima noted that unlike enforced disappearances, there was still no law on extrajudicial killings, which at present are considered no different from ordinary murder cases.
The justice secretary spoke at a workshop and forum at the UP Asian Center that discussed ways to ensure the proper implementation of Republic Act No. 10350, or the the Anti-Enforced Disappearance Act, which criminalizes abduction by the state or its agents.
Positive steps
Based on that law, which was signed by President Aquino in December, enforced disappearance is committed when a citizen is deprived of liberty by the state or agents of the state, and when information on the whereabouts of the missing is concealed or denied.
At the forum, Canadian Ambassador to Manila Christopher Thornley said his country was pleased with the positive steps taken by the Philippines in trying to stamp out human rights violations by state actors.
However, Dean Carolyn Sobritchea of the Asian Center noted that the Philippines was known as "a country that's very good in passing laws but very poor in getting the laws implemented."
She said civil society must take steps "to make sure we implement the provisions of the law properly."
Rep. Edcel Lagman, the law's principal author, said enforced disappearance was a heinous crime that can "cause the whole community to cower in fear."
"We really wanted an antienforced disappearances law that would holistically address the human suffering caused by the offense… break immunity and uphold the rule of law, and the make a strong public declaration against enforced disappearances and other forms of human rights violations," he said.

Stop by, meet our SHAs, and learn more about the SHA Program. This is a great time to get an in-depth look at our organization and ask our current SHAs questions about their experience.
If selected for the SHA Program, a mandatory quarter-long training is required. After training, students are required to volunteer for a minimum of 30 hours per quarter for three quarters, developing, promoting and implementing health education programs.I am currently a senior and will be graduating this year. Can I still apply to the SHA Program?
Unfortunately, if you will be graduating this academic year you will not be able to apply to the SHA Program. This is because a mandatory quarter-long training is required before becoming an active SHA. This training occurs in Spring Quarter, thus you must still be a student next year in order to volunteer with the SHA Program.Will there be some sort of training if I am selected for the SHA Program?
Yes. A quarter-long, no-credit training class in the Spring is required. This comprehensive training is based on a lecture series from a variety of disciplines and covers leadership skill building in addition to health topics.What are the benefits of being an SHA?

Thanks for the advice everyone.
Even if I'm unsuccessful at beating him, at least you've given me a lot to think about. What would seem like a hopeless situation during the heat of the moment, can actually be something that can be dealt with by a variety of positions, shot selection and game theory.
I absolutely am too far back against this player, I should move up some. I'm used to heavier, harder forehands and backhands. He does not have these weapons. In fact, in pure forehand to forehand exchanges, I usually win the point that way. He can't keep up with my consistency. In fact, upon further reflection, most of his shots are rather shallow. he rarely gets any depth at all.
I'll play in front of the baseline and make sure that I give him no neutral shots to his backhand: only topspin heavy forehands and backhands. If I have to slice it to his backhand, then I need to increase the spin making it harder to hit an accurate drop shot.

VIDEO: Scary Childhood Memories
Some baby memories you can never forget.
News reports tell us the casualties of war, and monuments are erected to honor fallen soldiers, but the nonhuman victims of war—the animals who are shot, burned, poisoned, and otherwise tormented in military experiments and training exercises—are never recognized, nor is their suffering widely publicized.
Military experiments on animals can be painful, repetitive, costly, and unreliable, and published experiments and internal documents obtained from the armed forces reveal that U.S. military agencies test all manner of weaponry on animals, from bombs to biological, chemical, and nuclear agents.
For decades, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has studied the effects of ballistics on animals (in so-called "wound labs") as a method of training medics and soldiers to treat traumatic injuries. Because of pressure from PETA, Congress prohibited the use of dogs and cats in these training exercises in the 1980s.1
However, the DOD continues to conduct trauma and chemical-casualty training exercises in which thousands of animals each year are critically injured and used as "stand-ins" for wounded soldiers. A member of the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps told The New York Times that instructors "shot [a pig] twice in the face with a 9-millimeter pistol, and then six times with an AK-47 and then twice with a 12-gauge shotgun. And then he was set on fire."2 In 2008, the San Antonio Express-News described a trauma course in which the legs of 990 living goats were broken and then amputated with a scissor-like tree-trimming tool.3
Animals who are used in such training exercises are also often forced to suffer through hellish conditions during transport, some dying en route because of filthy conditions and a lack of veterinary care. In 2008, several pigs died on cargo ships during the 2,000-mile, five-day trip from California to Hawaii. The pigs, who had been locked in crowded, barren containers, were thrown overboard.4
Each year, hundreds of thousands of primates, dogs, pigs, goats, sheep, rabbits, cats, and other animals are hurt and killed by the DOD in laboratory experiments that rank among the most painful experiments conducted in this country, at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars.5
The following is a sample of the wide variety of cruel, unnecessary tests that are conducted on animals:
Other military experiments include exposing animals to jet fuel, weightlessness, drugs, alcohol, and smoke. Tests are even conducted on insects and snakes in an effort to learn how to mimic their sensory perception abilities and apply them toward weapon detection.
Animals have been thrown onto human battlefields for centuries. The U.S. military most commonly uses dogs: About 1,450 canines are reportedly "deployed wherever there are U.S. military troops," according to Master Sgt. Joseph Lawson at Lackland Air Force Base.10,11
At least a dozen dolphins are known to have died since 1965 in accidents or from illness while they were being used by the military.12
Chickens were used in Kuwait as early detectors for chemical and biological weapons. In one instance, 43 birds died not in the "line of duty" but because they overheated in the desert sun.13
The Navy's testing of sonar systems has been linked to the beaching and deaths of marine mammals. Thirty dolphins died in South Florida and 39 whales perished in North Carolina following separate sonar tests in 2005.14 Sonar is believed to disrupt marine-mammal communication and navigation systems. When they are confused, the animals surface too quickly, which may cause rapid decompression and a sickness similar to "the bends" in humans.
The Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act have come under attack by the military, which has lobbied to amend the language in the laws because, according to one trade magazine, "[E]nvironmental regulations are interfering with combat training." Officials have asked that they not be required to designate "critical habitats" for wildlife on military lands and that terms such as "annoyance" and "potential to disturb" be dropped from the Marine Mammal Protection Act.15
Section 5b of the DOD's animal welfare regulation states, "Alternative methods to the use of animals must be considered and used if such alternatives produce scientifically valid or equivalent results to attain the research, education, training, and testing objectives."16 Valid alternatives to the use of animals—methods that military medical experts have found to better prepare soldiers to treat their fallen comrades—are indeed available. They include cadaver-based training, rotations in civilian trauma centers, and life-like human-patient simulators that breathe and bleed.
Unlike mutilating and killing animals, training on simulators allows medics and soldiers to practice on accurate models of human anatomy and repeat vital procedures until all trainees are confident and proficient. Studies show that medical-care providers who learn trauma treatment using simulators are better prepared to treat injured patients than are those who are trained using animals.17,18,19,20,21
Please contact officials at the DOD Office of the Inspector General (IG) and politely urge them to require that the DOD follow its own regulations and replace the use of animals in trauma and chemical-casualty training exercises with ethically and scientifically superior alternatives.

GOP has tough choices on Voting Rights Act
Saturday - 7/6/2013, 8:50am EDT
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) -- When the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights act last week, it handed Republicans tough questions with no easy answers over how, and where, to attract voters even GOP leaders say the party needs to stay nationally competitive.
The decision caught Republicans between newfound state autonomy that conservatives covet and the law's popularity among minority, young and poor voters who tend to align with Democrats. It's those voters that Republicans are eyeing to expand and invigorate the GOP's core of older, white Americans.
National GOP Chairman Reince Priebus began that effort well before the court's decision by promising, among other initiatives, to hire non-white party activists to engage directly with black and Latino voters. Yet state and national Republicans reacted to the Voting Rights Act decision with a flurry of activity and comments that may not fit neatly into the national party's vision.
Congressional leaders must decide whether to try to rewrite the provision the court struck, but it's not clear how such an effort would fare in the Democratic-led Senate and the GOP-controlled House. And at the state level, elected Republicans are enacting tighter voting restrictions that Democrats blast as harmful to their traditional base of supporters and groups the Republicans say they want to attract.
States like North Carolina and Virginia provide apt examples of the potential fallout. An influx of non-whites have turned those Republican strongholds into battlegrounds in the last two presidential elections, and minority voters helped President Barack Obama win both states in 2008 and Virginia again in 2012. Nationally, Republican Mitt Romney lost among African-Americans by about 85 percentage points and Latinos by about 44 percentage points, margins that virtually ensure a Democratic victory.
Yet presidential math doesn't necessarily motivate Republicans who control statehouses and congressional districts in states most affected by the Voting Rights Act. Core GOP supporters in the region react favorably to voter identification laws and broad-based critiques of federal authority.
Against that backdrop, Southern Republicans celebrated Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion that effectively frees all or parts of 15 states with a history of racial discrimination from having to get advanced federal approval for any election procedure.
The so-called "preclearance" provision anchored the law that Congress renewed four times since its 1965 passage as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement for black Americans. The law contains an "opt-out" provision that allowed a jurisdiction to ask a federal court for release from preclearance if it has established a record of non-discrimination. Roberts said that process -- never used successfully by an entire state -- wasn't enough.
"The court recognized that states can fairly design our own (district) maps and run our own elections without the federal government," Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said in a statement.
Citizens can still sue to overturn state laws, but they'll likely have to prove discrimination after the fact, rather than local authorities having to convince federal officials in advance that a law wouldn't discriminate.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, a Republican running for governor, said: "I do not believe we have the institutional bigotry like we had before."
GOP officials in Texas and Mississippi promised within hours of the decision to enforce new laws requiring voters to show identification at polls. The U.S. Justice Department's civil rights lawyers had frozen the Mississippi law while they considered effects on minority voters, while a panel of federal judges in Washington blocked the Texas law because of its potential to harm low-income and minority voters. North Carolina Republicans said they'd enact their own voter identification law. Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed new congressional district maps -- tilted to Republican advantage -- that federal authorities would have had to review.
But in Washington, Republicans like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia embraced the nuances of Roberts' ruling. The court didn't actually strike down preclearance, instead tossing rules that determined which jurisdictions got oversight. Congress is free to rewrite those parameters and revive advance review, Roberts wrote.
"I'm hopeful Congress will put politics aside," Cantor said, "and find a responsible path forward that ensures that the sacred obligation of voting in this country remains protected."
The white Republican recalled his recent trip to Alabama with black Democratic Rep. John Lewis on the 50th anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march. Lewis, an Atlanta Democrat, was beaten repeatedly as a young civil rights advocate during the 1960s. The commemoration, Cantor said, was "a profound experience."
Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., who helped lead the law's latest reauthorization when the GOP ran Congress in 2006, said the court "disappointed" him. Lingering discrimination, he said, compels Congress to update the act, "especially for minorities."

The show was pretty good. Joan sang many old favorites as well as songs from her upcoming album. Our seats were pretty good - rear terrace, but we were in Section 6, which was in the center. I didn't really care for the opening band, but Jett's performance was great.

Iraqi Embassy Protest Over Union Busting
Iraqi Embassy protest over union busting
By Ben Lando, UPI Energy Editor
U.S. labor leaders rallying outside the Iraqi Embassy in Washington pressed the prime minister to uphold workers' rights as oil workers are targeted in Basra.
Iraq's Oil Ministry has called the oil unions illegal and barred its departments and companies from any dealings with them.

"The fundamentals are: political agreement among parliamentary blocs, possible reforms to the government and reviewing the government's program," said Ali al-Dabbagh, the Voices of Iraq news agency reports.

IMF report on Iraq stresses importance of reconstruction, security, oil investment
by Moussa Ahmad
IRAQ. For the first time in 25 years, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued an economic assessment on Iraq, advising the government to increase the pace of reconstruction and investment, mainly in the oil sector.
"Directors commended the Iraqi authorities for keeping their economic programme on track by strengthening economic policies and making progress in structural reforms, despite an unsettled political situation and a very difficult security environment," said the IMF in a statement on Thursday summarising its Executive Board assessment on Iraq's economic performance.
Extending Iraq Buildup Would Be Tough
Extending Iraq Buildup Would Be Tough
by Lolita C. Baldor
Sapped by nearly six years of war, the Army has nearly exhausted its fighting force and its options if the Bush administration decides to extend the Iraq buildup beyond next spring.
The Army's 38 available combat units are deployed, just returning home or already tapped to go to Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere, leaving no fresh troops to replace five extra brigades that President Bush sent to Baghdad this year, according to interviews and military documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
Why Teamsters President Hoffa worries Iran's mullahs
Why Teamsters President Hoffa worries Iran's mullahs
by Mahtaub Hojjati
Iran's despotic mullahs are worried more about Teamsters union President James Hoffa than Iran's Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi. Why? They are frightened by the prospect that Hoffa's escalating voice may give birth to an Iranian version of Solidarity's Lech Walesa, whose courageous and charismatic leadership transformed Poland's workers into an invincible political force.

Workers think foreign firms will take over
By David Bacon
Across the political spectrum in Washington, members of Congress are now demanding that the Iraqi government meet certain benchmarks, which presumably would show that it's really in charge. But there's a big problem with the most important benchmark: the oil law. It is extremely unpopular in Iraq.
Pasadena TX
All politicians mean when they claim to be "Centrists" or claim that most Americans are, is that they want all the votes, therefore will be paralyzed and never commit to any real issue for fear of offending the other side. It is pure nonsense. We all make concessions on certain issues when we vote for a particular candidate, according to what we think is the most important issue or issues. No candidate can be all things to all people, but someone forgot to tell them that. Of course, the real problem is they are all owned before they ever get on a ballot, and it is not by us.
See Who's Editing Wikipedia - Diebold, the CIA, a Campaign
By John Borland
CalTech graduate student Virgil Griffith built a search tool that traces IP addresses of those who make Wikipedia changes.
On November 17th, 2005, an anonymous Wikipedia user deleted 15 paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine vendor Diebold, excising an entire section critical of the company's machines. While anonymous, such changes typically leave behind digital fingerprints offering hints about the contributor, such as the location of the computer used to make the edits.
In this case, the changes came from an IP address reserved for the corporate offices of Diebold itself. And it is far from an isolated case. A new data-mining service launched Monday traces millions of Wikipedia entries to their corporate sources, and for the first time puts comprehensive data behind longstanding suspicions of manipulation, which until now have surfaced only piecemeal in investigations of specific allegations.
Guns For Hire: Secrecy, Torture, Religious Zeal Distinguish Mercenaries
By Paul J. Nyden
The West Virginia Gazette
Sunday 12 August 2007
Iraq and Afghanistan dominated our news headlines. But our media continue to overlook the growing privatization of military operations - a major historical development.
George W. Bush vigorously backs privatization and frequently awards huge contracts to companies owned by political contributors, such as Halliburton and Blackwater.
During his years in the Oval Office, Bill Clinton also embraced the emerging military privatization.
Today, our government pays mercenaries billions of dollars to fight and kill "enemies," protect government officials and deliver food.
American taxpayers pay the bill. But few know much about the growth of private military companies, or PMCs.
Terrorist Nation? It Takes One to Know One
By Dave Lindorff
The idea that the US could be considering classifying the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a "terrorist" organization, based upon some dubious evidence that the organization is supplying some weapons—in particular those shaped charges that have been so effective in roadside bombs against US military vehicles—is pretty preposterous when you consider the source.
Whatever the truth about the activities of the Iranians, certainly when it comes to terror, the US is unrivalled in the world today.
Tension Grows Between US Soldiers and Mercenaries
By Deborah Hastings
The Associated Press
Saturday 11 August 2007
There are now nearly as many private contractors in Iraq as there are U.S. soldiers - and a large percentage of them are private security guards equipped with automatic weapons, body armor, helicopters and bullet-proof trucks.
They operate with little or no supervision, accountable only to the firms employing them. And as the country has plummeted toward anarchy and civil war, this private army has been accused of indiscriminately firing at American and Iraqi troops, and of shooting to death an unknown number of Iraqi citizens who got too close to their heavily armed convoys.
Grow Up, America.
It is becoming increasingly clear that we are a nation of infantile adults; small minds, little hearts, in big – very big - people's pants. We bicker and scream and backbite and fight, pushing the peas of politics around on our plates, throwing tantrums on TV, kicking and screaming on the floor of the House. It is time to grow up. The social and environmental problems of the 21st Century, most of which we have knowingly, purposefully, created, demand that we put away childish things.

Martial Law Threat is Real: Lucky that the Military is Breaking Down
By Dave Lindorff
The looming collapse of the US military in Iraq, of which a number of generals and former generals, including former Chief of Staff Colin Powell, have warned, is happening none too soon, as it may be the best hope for preventing military rule here at home.
From the looks of things, the Bush/Cheney regime has been working assiduously to pave the way for a declaration of military rule, such that at this point it really lacks only the pretext to trigger a suspension of Constitutional government. They have done this with the active support of Democrats in Congress, though most of the heavy lifting was done by the last, Republican-led Congress.

On Base, a Plea to Give Each Death Its Due
July 25, 2007
By WILLIAM YARDLEY
New York Times
FORT LEWIS, Wash. — Twenty soldiers deployed to Iraq from this Army base were killed in May, a monthly high. That same month, the base announced a change in how it would honor its dead: instead of units holding services after each death, they would be held collectively once a month.
The anger and hurt were immediate. Soldiers' families and veterans protested the change as cold and logistics-driven. Critics online said the military was trying to repress bad news about deaths. By mid-June, the base had delayed the plan.
News Channel 5 (Nashville, TN) Investigates: Dishonorable Deceptions
Recruiters Break Silence About Pressures
Here's what U.S. Army recruiters say about the pressures that they face -- from confidential e-mail messages to "NewsChannel 5 Investigates" and from blog postings:
Cry Wolf!
As his Iraq adventure disintegrates before his eyes, and as more and more Americans are unwilling to give him any benefit of the doubt, George W. Bush is once again pulling out the let's scare'em with terrorism card.
And while there is no doubt that this despicable ploy is just that, we should not fall into the trap of only accusing him of crying wolf. Because, putting aside the lies that our government dishes out everyday, there is no question that at this point, there are indeed terrorists who would love nothing more than to launch an attack in The United States.
Published in JAMS Magazine:
For the United States of America, the only westernized nation (other than Belarus) where the execution of humans is sanctioned by law, the quality of their mercy is decided by their peers. In this death penalty nation, the burden on those citizens who determine life or death can be a heavy weight to bear.
Time and again, capital punishment has painful consequences for the juror, as well as the condemned. For the condemned, the consequences are obvious, although the degrees of the horrors may vary. There is the anguished anticipation of the death, and the flawed methods of the execution, which in far too many cases produce painful inhumane results. Just studying the details of botched executions since the death penalty was reinstated in 1977, leaves a history of error too grotesque to ignore. (http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?scid=8&did=478)
For the decider, or juror, in cases where evidence is circumstantial and/or principally reliant on witness recall, there is always the possibility of murdering an innocent. Though the defendant's guilt must be proven beyond a doubt, ominous shadows of doubt have emerged after executions - when it was already too late.

Vice President Hurts GOP's Chance to Retain White House
THE DECISION of President Bush to keep Dick Cheney on as his vice presidential running mate in 2004 may have been the worst thing he has done to America.
I say this not on the basis of whatever policy impact Mr. Cheney may have had on the Bush Administration - the Iraq war, torture, obsessive secrecy, plumping up the executive branch, or whatever. The problem is the phenomenon of having in the vice presidency a person who will not be running for president in the next election. (Mr. Cheney cannot and never could have run on the basis of his heart illness.)
Tom Tancredo Stood Alone Before the NAACP GOP Presidential Forum
Jeffrey Feldman of Frameshop writes:
The one photo the GOP does not want anyone to see was snapped at yesterday's NAACP GOP Presidential Candidate Forum. The NAACP invited all 9 Republican candidates to the forum, but only one showed up: Tom Tancredo. All the Democratic Presidential hopefuls showed up for their forum.
The excuses given by the Republican campaigns mostly had to do with scheduling conflicts--just too busy to make it.
The resulting photo of Tancredo--standing on a stage of empty podiums--sums up the Republican party's commitment to civil rights in America: the only Republican interested is the guy running to deny immigrant workers their rights.
One has to wonder why this photo was not the lead on every morning show and on the front pages of every morning newspaper in America.
The reason, most likely, is a coordinated effort by Republicans to pressure news agencies to downplay the obvious implications of having 8 out of 9 of their Presidential candidates as "no shows" for a debate at the NAACP.
What is keeping the obvious story about Republicans and racism out of today's headlines? David Beckham's arrival in Hollywood.
Estimated Iraqi death due to U.S. invasion nears one million
Last year Johns Hopkins researchers produced a study estimating that 650,000 Iraqis had died as of July, 2006 as a result of the U.S. invasion. The organization Just Foreign Policy has now created a new estimate, based on the original study, of deaths to the present day. The number they came up with is just under one million.

Danny Schechter's "A WORK IN PROGRESS: PUTTING THE ME IN MEDIA"
Today I received an in-depth blog (http://www.newsdissector.org/blog/) from Danny Schechter (The News Dissector), reporting from Durbin, South Africa where he's screening his film, "In Debt We Trust." This was the second blog Danny has sent from South Africa in a little over a week. The blog was typical Danny. Not a superficial account of the customs and terrain. Not a self-indulged travelogue on the effects of the environs on "me." You don't get that from Danny. He's not about sensory conjecture. He's about facts. He's a journalist. He doesn't write. He reports.
Better yet, he informs.
Danny's blogs from South Africa are energized, rich and learned accounts of the people, history, politics and economics of a burgeoning land. They're so well written they're intimidating for this writer to read. I marvel at how he gathers such detailed information on the road and delivers it with originality and ease. I'm impressed by his intense desire to share facts that enlighten and inform. And I'm amazed that he's been doing this for such a long time, before anyone ever heard of a "blog."
Iran Launches English TV Channel
Iran Launches English TV Channel
Press TV has 26 correspondents in various international locations; Iran's state broadcaster has launched a 24-hour English-language news channel.
Press TV, based in Tehran but with 26 correspondents around the world, says it aims to break a "stranglehold" it says the West has over world media.
Bush Provokes Britain's Terrorists With: "THIS IS AMATEUR TIME!"
With Great Britain under extreme alert after three car bomb attempts over the past two days, George W. Bush and his high level White House cohorts are doing their utmost to goad the terrorists to try harder next time. To be more "PROFESSIONAL" in their planning. To detonate bombs that are certain to cause harm.
By all accounts, the failed detonations of the two cars in London and the blazing SUV in Scotland weren't huge or impressive enough for Bush and his buddies. They didn't do enough damage. They didn't produce real harm. They weren't "PROFESSIONAL" enough to get America's attention.
The underlying message: to be worth your salt as terrorists, you'll have to do better next time! Another case of: "Bring it on!"

This event occurs at when the Earth's northern axis is at its greatest tilt toward the Sun. It is because our planet is tilted on its axis of rotation by about 23.5 degrees that we experience seasons.

Girls: When you tell a guy "I love you" and he hasn't responded for an entire week?
What goes through your mind? Say you have/had a crush on a guy and you text him saying 'I love you' and he hasn't responded for a week, would you... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Hm, I would first wonder if he's okay and what happend..but if I found he was just ignoring mi then I'd call him an ass hole and tell him that he should have told mi that he didn't want to continue and thanks for wasting mi time and making mi worry and wait for nothing. Then I'd delete his contact info and set fire to his things.
What Girls Said 7
What Guys Said 1
Come on girls. I know a week seems like a long time, but a guy can have a lot of things scheduled and he may wish to try to find time to respond correctly and also may be a little afraid of saying the wrong thing. He should respond quickly with some indication of his interest and say he would like to talk more when some things are out of the way. Writing him off after one week is too much.
Suppose a guy you had dated asked you to join him on a trip to Vegas next month. Would you all be able to answer within a week?:
Putting your heart on the line vs a $300 plane ticket aren't exactly comparable, but ironically you'd probably get similar reactions after a week with an entire week of absolutely no response, "WTF, is this a yes, a no, are you working, are you trying to get time off, did you even get my message, I'm trying to plan out a serious event and I cannot do this until you respond..."
If a person (guy or girl) needs time to consider things, they should say so within a week.
You can always nudge him. People are easily distracted but often mean well. If you only hold out for immediate responses with decisive action, you may end up with someone who drives you crazy being too obsessive for every little detail.
Have an opinion?

The fight wasn't officially over because Herb Dean hadn't said anything, and the whole thing added a ton of controversy where there shouldn't have been any.

Hangar-7 in Salzburg, Austria owned by Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz is not a hangar in a traditional sense but rather a multifunctional building with a collection of 25 historical airplanes, helicopters and Formula One racing cars. It houses a restaurant, two bars, a lounge and aircraft, and is open to the public. It includes the Michelin starred restaurant Ikarus.[1]
The building is airfoil shaped, constructed of 1,200 tons of steel and 75,000 sqft of glass surface. "Hangar 8" is the maintenance facility.[2]

Occasionally he will still ask me to do it if it's messy or if he's feeling like being big is too hard (baby sister issues ) but for the most part it took him 4 months to be able to handle it all on his own.

Pentax's Trio O' Cameras Features Something For Everyone: Specs, Style,…

During an otherwise uneventful podcast on the S60, Nokia revealed this shot of an unnamed concept device. It features a big touchscreen interface like the HTC Touch or the iPhone, but a QWERTY keypad can fold out while the touchscreen swivels, transforming the candy bar device into a premium clamshell. We'll have to… »
Someone blasted their Nokia E90 with a 12-bore shotgun. And then decided to put the bent and twisted piece of telephony up for sale on eBay "for parts." Or for laughs, because then someone decided to buy the remains of the smartphone for $20.50. Apparently, he didn't realize that not a single part of this phone would… »
I'm pretty superficial when it comes to my cell phones. I like them thin and stylish—drop them in your pocket and forget they're there. They gotta be smart too, I won't settle for any crap interface (although since I'm on Verizon, that's tough to do). So you'd think I'd be all over Samung's new Ultra series, right.… »
The Nokia E90 Communicator has come out of the blurry shadows and into the sharp spotlight, showing off its 3.2 megapixel camera, Edge, WiFi and HDSPA goodness on two screens, one inside and the other out. That outside screen is a conventional 240x320 while inside it's packing an expansive 800x352 screen that can show… »
The first pictures of the Nokia E90 just hit the 'net and, if you have the patience to look at really blurry shots, you'll find out a few things. If the pics are real (we won't really know until next week's 3GSM conference), we can look forward to a fold out type cellphone, like the Nokia 9500. In addition to the… »

Red Sox shut out Yankees behind dominant Josh Beckett
May 14, 2011, 10:40 PM EDT
Josh Beckett entered Saturday's game with a fine 11-7 career record against the Bombers, but it certainly hasn't been easy. His ERA stood at 5.90, and he had given up 24 homers in 23 starts.
That's why the Red Sox have to be thrilled about just how outstanding Beckett has been in two starts versus the Yankees this year. The 2010 version of Beckett was absolutely manhandled by the Yankees, giving up 29 runs and nine homers in 26 innings. He had a ridiculous 10.04 ERA in his five starts.
This year, Beckett has pitched 14 scoreless innings in two wins over the Yankees. He allowed four hits over six innings and struck out nine as part of Boston's 6-0 win tonight.
Of course, that's not all that has the Red Sox happy at the moment:
– Adrian Gonzalez homered again, giving him six in six games and eight in 13 games for the month of May. Tonight's was a three-run blow in the seventh inning that put the game out of reach.
– Jacoby Ellsbury had two more hits, including a two-run double that put the Red Sox on the board against CC Sabathia in the fifth. He lost a 19-game hitting streak on Wednesday, but he's collected four hits through the first two games against the Yankees, pushing his average up to .301.
– Jason Varitek contributed a key hit in front of Gonzalez's homer tonight. After batting .091 in April, he's suddenly contributing with five hits and three walks in his five starts this month.
– And perhaps best of all, the Yankees appear to be in some pretty serious disarray, with the Jorge Posada drama completely overshadowing the game tonight. Manager Joe Girardi, upset about a pitch that should have been called strike three in the aforementioned Varitek at-bat, was tossed from this one after Gonzalez homer. Even the typically unflappable Sabathia is struggling some at the moment, and no one in the lineup is hitting higher than .281.
Of course, the Red Sox shouldn't get too cocky. The Yankees are still far and away first in the majors in homers, and their one explosion Sunday away from reclaiming the AL lead in runs scored. Plus, they're still two games ahead of Boston in the standings.
But things are looking up for Boston. If Jon Lester can outduel Freddy Garcia and improve to 5-1 on Sunday, then the Red Sox will not only have completed a road sweep of their rivals, but they'll have gotten to .500 for the first time all season.
And it will have taken only 40 games.
- ryanmallettsbluntwrap - May 14, 2011 at 11:17 PM
Adrian Gonzalez > Tex . Red Sox pitching staff – john lackey > Yankees . Yankees look old out there , just to be honest.
- aceshigh11 - May 15, 2011 at 12:13 AM
Losing out on Tex turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the Sox.
Adrian has been BEYOND on fire lately. What a machine.
- randomdigits - May 15, 2011 at 7:26 AM
Why does this game deserve a separate entry over the other five shutouts thrown last night? Two of them were 1-0 games and some of them included teams that were actually in first place.
It would be nice if someplace national treated Yanks/Sox as just another game. Are you really getting that many more page hits by using that header?
- Ari Collins - May 15, 2011 at 12:14 PM
Now, I'm a Sox fan, so I'm biased, here. But considering how many more fans there are of the Sox and Yankees, and how big a rivalry it is (even when neither is even the wild card right now), having an extra story every once in a while about a big game between them makes some sense. There's a bigger audience for it.
When the Mariners and Royals start to have huge fanbases and a great rivalry, I'm sure we'll hear stories about big games between them instead.
- pisano - May 15, 2011 at 12:26 PM
Not to knock Becketts effort last night, but at this point any no. 2,3,or 4 starter could shut the Yankees down at this point. There are two or three guys in that line up that are of any use offensively. Beckett did pitch well, but he had a team that looks like minor league players last night.

Strikeline: What Price, Respect?
At this one station, six hours into the 2005 transit strike, this was the theme among workers clocking their first of who-knows-how-many four-hour strike shifts: respect, not money per se. Certainly not salaryif anything, healthcare and pensions. "If they paid me $500,000, I wouldn't worry about it," says Jimmy. "But when you don't have enough money to pay for it, those things all come into play."
Things like the fact that transit workers get no credit from their ballsy behavior on 9-11 or the 2003 blackout. Or that they don't get the big holidays off ("13 years, still don't have Christmas off, says conductor/flagman Johnny.) They gripe that their prescription card doesn't get honored everywhere, and that some doctors refuse to take them as patients because the reimbursement rates are so low. And when you take a sick day, the bosses send someone to your house. "You're on house arrest when you're sick," says Derrick, a station agent. One strikera motorman whose job involves holding down a control lever all daytold of waiting a year to get his carpal tunnel diagnosed, then having no pay during the three-month recovery from surgery. And then there are the attacks, verbal and otherwise, by the riding public.
Amid the chaos of the strike, there's no way to determine right now how many of these claims are true, and to what degree. But the sentiment on the sidewalk at Bedford Park is a fact unto itself. "It's like a slavery system," Laverne says. She's been in the union 21 years, and it's only gotten worse, she says, jutting her chin over her scarf. It was frigid on the concourse. The strikers circulated in and out of our conversations just to keep moving, and warm.
Two weeks ago, at a transit demonstration in downtown Brooklyn, even union staff thought the threat of a strike was merely the usual triennial charade. No one seemed to honestly think it would happen. Something happened at the negotiating table and in the ranks to change that, and part of it has to be that TWU members feel generally unloved.
"This money that we're losing, we're not getting back. We wouldn't be risking all that money if we weren't serious about how bad the conditions are," says Jimmy. Laverne nods, "We're not valued and we're just tired of it."
