New Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says the club's academy will be a cornerstone of their first team planning.
While City have already splashed out £45million on Fernandinho and Jesus Navas this summer, the long-term aim is for the club to start producing more of their own players.
Pellegrini said: "My relationships with director of football Txiki Begiristain for the first-team squad and with Brian Marwood for all the academy are very important.
"The young players are important to develop better players. Every day we have to have contacts with Brian.
"The club has invested a lot of money in young players and that's one of my duties here at City. We have to be very close and know what is happening in both squads.
"It's impossible for one club to invest a lot of money every year. Every year we must have one or two players arriving from the academy to the first team.
"It's one of my jobs and I will work with Brian. We want Manchester City to have one style, the way we play."

Michael Steinhardt forged the model for making hedge fund billions before exiting the game. With WisdomTree, he's back to upend Wall Street again–this time, with the little-guy investor at his side.
During the three decades that Wall Street grew up, morphing from a gentlemen's investment club into a global financial colossus, Michael Steinhardt emerged as the world's greatest trader. From 1967 to 1995 his pioneering hedge fund returned an average of 24.5% annually to its investors, even after Steinhardt took 20% of the profits. Put a different way, $10,000 invested with Steinhardt in 1967 would have been worth $4.8 million on the day he shuttered his fund. (The same investment in the S&P would have been worth $190,000.) It was a performance that landed him on The Forbes 400 in 1993, with a net worth estimated at more than $300 million.
Trading is all about timing, and by one key measure, he failed. He walked away while in his 50s, just as the hedge fund industry, which he helped create, was becoming the most potent moneymaking machine ever invented. Had he stuck with it, he very likely would be one of the very richest people in the world, mentioned in the same breath as George Soros ($20 billion) and Steve Cohen ($9.4 billion). "I thought there must be something more virtuous, more ennobling to do with one's life than make rich people richer," says Steinhardt. "There's no sin in making rich people richer, but it's not the sort of thing from which you would go straight up to heaven."
Steinhardt says this in the most gentlemanly–even grandfatherly–way, a far cry from the notoriously short-tempered "screamer" of his heyday. He leisurely charts his life away from Wall Street, a tale that touches on politics (he was an early Bill Clinton supporter), Jewish cultural values (an atheist, he is nonetheless an ardent supporter of Jewish causes), animals (his country estate houses one of the world's largest private zoos) and even a type of French field strawberry, the fraise du bois, that his wife, Judy, once tried to grow commercially. (Click here to read more about Steinhardt's zoo or here for more about his philanthropy)
But sitting behind a glass desk in his thickly carpeted Manhattan office, Michael Steinhardt has another message that Wall Street should take note of: He's back, and rather than play by the rules that he helped establish, he's blowing them up, positioning himself as an advocate for the little guy–and making himself a new fortune in the process.
Steinhardt is chairman of the board and, with a 14.7% stake worth some $330 million, the largest single stakeholder in WisdomTree Investments, the ETF shop created by Jonathan "Jono" Steinberg, son of the late corporate raider Saul Steinberg, who famously flamed out at the end of his career. Steinhardt was way early on hedge funds–his was among the first dozen (there are 8,000 today). He thinks exchange-traded funds have similar disruptive potential, with individual investors (and some savvy operators like him) reaping the benefits.
"I cared about one thing," Steinhardt says of his trading years, "and that one thing was having a better performance than anybody in America." He later adds: "I want to phrase this in the strongest possible way: Jono Steinberg has been, from my perspective, the single greatest manager in the world of money management during the last eight or nine years."
Whoa! To the extent that Wall Street has a take on Jono Steinberg, it's that he's married to Maria Bartiromo, business television's "money honey." In the 1980s he failed to complete his undergraduate business degree at Wharton (Steinhardt's alma mater), despite the fact that his father's name is carved on one of the buildings. He later used his family's money to rechristen a tout sheet called Penny Stock Journal into Individual Investor magazine, which went bust in 2001. Most critically, the man Steinhardt calls the greatest money manager of his generation has never managed a significant amount of anyone else's money.
And that, of course, is Steinhardt's point. Exchange-traded funds typically charge lower fees and have tax-advantages over traditional mutual funds. They are also completely transparent: An obsessive-compulsive ETF investor can check his fund's holdings daily, rather than quarterly, as is the norm for most mutual funds. This magic combination–cheaper with lower taxes and greater transparency (and often for the same underlying investment)–means that over time ETFs will eat the lunch of the $12.1 trillion (assets) mutual fund industry.
With $35 billion under management, WisdomTree has only a 2.1% share of the $1.7 trillion (assets) ETF market, but that's up from less than 1% in 2010, and it has been steadily chipping away at BlackRock and State Street, which have a combined 61.9% market share. The company uses academic investment theory to create ETFs that seek to consistently outperform the market, albeit just by a point or two. It's a far cry from Michael Steinhardt's S&P-crushing performance, but it's one that is available to everyone, not just a select few. WisdomTree is also the only pure-play, publicly traded ETF manager. Since the beginning of last year its stock is up 171.9% versus 35.6% for the Nasdaq Composite and 47.7% for a market-cap-weighted basket of comparable asset managers.
Given that performance, Jono Steinberg might be the best money manager of the past year–to the extent that he made Steinhardt a killing. Steinhardt, meanwhile, is no longer a legendary hedge fund has-been. He is poised to have been in the vanguard of two revolutionary investment trends–two that happen to be diametrically opposite.
* * *
When Michael Steinhardt started Steinhardt, Fine, Berkowitz & Co. (later just Steinhardt Partners), it was, literally, a "hedge" fund–a fund, as the term implies, equally willing to short stocks as to bet long, thus providing a hedge against down markets, of which in the '60s and '70s there were many.
"I really shorted a lot. I liked to short," says Steinhardt. "I felt far more gratification from making money on the short side than from the long side, which is a very dangerous thing, because the short side is so tough."
The fledging fund's sharp-elbowed operators did indeed protect their investors in bad times–Steinhardt even made money during the horrendous 1973-74 bear market–but what turned heads was the outsize returns they popped, regardless of investing climate. "He's a legend and a terrific money manager," says hedge fund billionaire Julian Robertson Jr., who started 13 years after Steinhardt.

Iraqi policemen go on a foot patrol in central Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, May 19, 2014. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
BAGHDAD: Iraqi authorities say attacks have killed 13 people, including off-duty soldiers who were on their way home.

I'm like you Michael. I have a very large stockile of Azo, but it is mostly the Canadian Grade 2 Azo in 8x10. I have a couple boxes of the Old Rochester Grade 2 (god, I hope the grade 2 Lodima is close to this paper) and a couple boxes of Grade 3 Canadian Azo. My problem is that since 2005, I have added 7x17 to my formats. While I have been able to acquire a few boxes of 20x24 grade 3 and two boxes of the old Rochester grade 2 in 20x24, I am far short of a lifetime supply of paper large enough to print 7x17 negatives. If we as a community don't support this effort then we have no one to blame but ourselves. So I took an inventory of what I had on hand and placed an order for what I believe will be more than a lifetime supply of Lodima in 8x20 and a couple boxes in 8x10. There are many factors that could make this a once in a lifetime opportunity and since Lodima is expected to keep for many, many years (as opposed to the much shorter shelf life of most other papers) I decided that I should take advantage of this offer while it lasted.
Many thanks to all who support this effort.

Shakira's hit song ripped off Dominican artist: NY judge
A federal judge has found that a hit 2010 song by Colombian pop star Shakira copied a Dominican songwriter's work. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in a ruling in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday said Shakira's Spanish-language single "Loca" infringed on the work of Ramon Arias Vasquez, who wrote "Loca con su Tiguere" in the late 1990s.

Hollywood mogul Simon buys fur farm with animal rights activists
Hollywood mogul and co-creator of The Simpsons, Sam Simon, has bought a chinchilla farm in Southern California as part of a drive by animal rights activists to close the breeding facility. In what all parties described as a "win-win" deal, 90-year-old owner Lurlie Adams was able to offload the farm she did not want any more to Simon for $50,000. And the 425 chinchillas were moved to much larger cages while awaiting adoption.
Swimming away from 'sea of sameness,' U.S. network FX tests TV waters
Television cable network FX revels in its minimalist slogan "Fearless," but it could also opt for "It's OK To Fail," "We Have A Long Way To Go," and "Not For Everybody's Taste." FX is hard to sum up these days. Even John Landgraf, chief executive of the network owned by Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, says he cannot "cleanly and simply articulate the FX brand."

Florida minister Terry Jones was arrested Wednesday before he could torch thousands of kerosene-soaked Qurans as an anti-Islamist protest. And civil libertarians should be concerned.

Pastor Terry Jones, whose supervision of a Quran burning touched off deadly riots in Afghanistan early this month, has set his sights on a mosque in Dearborn, Mich. A judge has barred Jones from the mosque's property, and he now plans to protest in front of it.
Oh good, the nutty Rev. Terry Jones is near our HQ here in Los Angeles. The Florida pastor, who drew widespread ire earlier this month with his Quran-burning and Prophet Muhammad mock trial publicity stunts ...
The threatened, and now fulfilled, Quran-burning gesture by Florida pastor Terry Jones (pictured) sparked fatal consequences in Afghanistan on Friday, when protesters in the northern city of Mazir-e-Sharif stormed a United Nations compound and killed at least 20 employees.

With an eye on Saturday's parliamentary elections, the Taliban is evidently making sure that Afghans don't forget the recent Quran-burning hubbub in the U.S. (thanks a lot, Pastor Jones), as some 800 people gathered in Kabul for ... (continued)
The evil side of America is on display in the form of a media-fueled Islamophobia that recalls some of the worst bigotry in the nation's past. This is not what we hoped for in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, or the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.
An outbreak of violence, partially attributed to unrest over recent anti-Muslim sentiment in the U.S., occurred in the volatile Kashmir region Monday, and 18 civilians were confirmed killed by Indian police, according to the BBC.
Florida pastor Terry Jones backed away from his plan to burn a pile of Qurans on Sept. 11, but anger in the Muslim world persists. Two people were killed in eastern Afghanistan when soldiers opened fire on a crowd during protests against the planned burning.
AP / John Angelillo
Tensions are high in Tennessee, as they have been all over our nation, in anticipation of the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Controversies abound. Mosque-building, book burning and threats of violence are making it increasingly difficult to separate what pastor/author Rick Warren is calling "church and hate."
Flickr / rana ossama (CC-BY-SA)
The leader of a Florida church says he called off his planned bonfire of Islamic holy books because the imam of the community center to be built near Ground Zero "has agreed to move the location." However, one of the developers of that project has reported: "We don't know anything about it."
By Mr. Fish —
It's amazing what one bigoted gesture can do in these, our volatile times. All you have to do is be a professional ignoramus masquerading as a Christian clergyman, such as Florida pastor Terry Jones, let your incredibly poor ... (continued)
An extremist Florida church says it will go ahead with plans to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11 by setting copies of the Quran on fire, even though authorities have warned that such actions would endanger Americans fighting, serving and traveling abroad. (continued)

You are not prepared for the most hottest Ukrainian bombshell on the planet that isn't locked away in Chernobyl.
Can you survive the horror?
The "merc with the mouth" is finally coming to the big screen. After test footage of Ryan Reynolds doing his thing as the sword-wielding comic book figure surfaced online, 20th Century Fox announced that a 'Deadpool' movie will indeed be made, further spinning off the 'X-Men' cinematic universe. But the key question now remains is, will Reynolds himself pick up the reins once again?
Calling all aspiring actors, Batman believers and Superman super fans! Extras are needed to appear in the upcoming 'Batman vs. Superman' film!
Lauren might get tired of all the zombies groaning 'braaaaains' every episode on 'The Walking Dead', but with a body like that, we don't blame them for asking.
So far, we have heard rumors that two of the three planned 'Star Wars' spinoffs were to follow Boba Fett and Han Solo. Then there was the mysterious third spinoff, which we haven't much concrete information on. Until now. A recent report suggests that despite earlier reports that the spinoffs wouldn't follow any Jedi or Sith characters, Lucasfilm is currently working with artists and a writer to develop an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie.
Perhaps frustrated by the leaked shots of the Batmobile from the 'Batman vs. Superman' set, director Zack Snyder took to Twitter late last night to post an update of his own: an official full shot of the new Batmobile.
While director Zack Snyder did share a look at the 'Batman vs. Superman' version of the Batmobile, it was parked in a warehouse and half-covered in smoke. In short, you couldn't really get a good sense of what it would look like in action. Today, we get a much better look at what Batfleck's Batmobile will look like in 'Batman vs. Superman' as Bruce Wayne's whip has rolled onto the film's set for the first time.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson -- actor, wrestler, guy with quote marks in his name -- has tweeted what appears to be confirmation that he will play the role of Black Adam -- presumably in a Shazam movie from Warner Bros. -- by telling his followers, "My honor to become.. #BlackAdam".
Rumors about Johnson joining the DC Cinematic Universe have circulated for a while, with initial speculation that he might appear in Batman V Superman -- perhaps as Lex Luthor. In August, Johnson confirmed that he was in talks to take on a DC role, and tweeted a picture of Shazam, Black Adam, and Superman. He didn't specify which role he was up for, but many fans noted his resemblance to the villain Black Adam.
I have never in my life watched a whole episode of Jersey Shore, only bits and pieces. I think I would actually consider watching the massacre movie though.
For awhile there, it looked like 'Star Wars: Episode 7' was in trouble. Harrison Ford had broken his leg in a freak Millennium Falcon accident and there were rumors that the production was going to be shut down for weeks! Months! Forever!!! And then Harrison Ford got better and the only real damage to the schedule was a two-week break where everyone made ice bucket challenge videos and refused to answer questions to prying reporters on red carpets.
And now, 'Star Wars: Episode 7' has officially resumed filming.

Report: Hudson to be send to NBDL
|12.14.09 at 10:21 pm ET
Celtics rookie Lester Hudson will be assigned to the Maine Red Claws (NBA Development League) in the near future, according to the Boston Herald.
'He's on a very good team where it's very difficult to get minutes, but that hasn't sidetracked his work,' Doc Rivers told the Herald prior to the Celtics-Grizzlies game. 'We're going to send him down pretty soon to the NBDL for a week or so to get him some games, because I don't like our young guys going these long stretches without playing games. And then we're going to bring him back. I think that will help him.'
Hudson, who was selected with the 58th pick in the 2009 Draft, has played a total of 49 minutes in 13 games this season. He has been working out with assistant coach and former point guard Tyronn Lue. Hudson has also put in extra time with Rajon Rondo after practice to improve his defense.

The raison d'être of the Bush administration is war in the Middle East in order to protect America from terrorism and to insure America's oil supply. On both counts the Bush administration has failed catastrophically.
Bush's single-minded focus on the "war against terrorism" has compounded a natural disaster and turned it into the greatest calamity in American history. The US has lost its largest and most strategic port, thousands of lives, and 80% of one of America's most historic cities is under water.
If terrorists had achieved this result, it would rank as the greatest terrorist success in history.
Prior to 911, the Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that New Orleans was a disaster waiting to happen. Congress authorized the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project (SELA) in order to protect the strategic port, the refineries, and the large population.
However, after 2003 the flow of funds to SELA were diverted to the war in Iraq. During 2004 and 2005 the New Orleans Times-Picayune published nine articles citing New Orleans' loss of hurricane protection to the war in Iraq.
Every expert and newspapers as distant as Texas saw the New Orleans catastrophe coming. But President Bush and his insane government preferred war in Iraq to protecting Americans at home.
Bush's war left the Corps of Engineers only 20% of the funding to protect New Orleans from flooding from Lake Pontchartrain. On June 18, 2004, the Corps' project manager, Al Naomi, told the Times-Picayune: "the levees are sinking.… Continue reading
A program to monitor the health of thousands of federal workers who answered the call of 9/11 has "been lost for more than two years," the New York Daily News reports. It "vanished during the bureaucratic shuffle creating the Department of Homeland Security" …
(Aug. 26, 2005)
The forgotten and yet most numerous direct physical victims of September 11th are those who were exposed to the air contaminated by the dust clouds formed when the buildings fell. These contained large quantities of asbestos, pulverized glass and concrete, radioactive material from smoke alarms, silicone from computers. Especially hard-hit were first responders and Ground Zero clean-up workers. Underground fires at the disaster site continued for six weeks, further poisoning the air.
Yet in the days immediately after 9/11, the Environmental Protection Agency under Christie Todd Whitman knowingly gave the public absurd assurances that the air was safe to breathe, that no special precautions were necessary, that local residents could just clean up the dust with water. Two years later, we learned that the White House had forced the EPA to change its initial assessment of the danger to falsely reassure New Yorkers; presumably so that business could go on as usual and Wall Street could re-open for trading. By encouraging people not to take preventive measures, this choice in the end may have shortened more lives than the 3,000 lost at the World Trade Center. (For more on this subject, see World Trade Center Environmental Organization .)
So this is how the US government does business!
Cash from the New York Federal Reserve is loaded on to C-130s and shipped to Bagdad — to the tune of $12 billion since the start of the US occupation of Iraq in March 2003.
The money originally came from Iraqi oil sales under Saddam and was held in trust under the rules of the UN oil sales program. Now it is handed out to Iraqi and US government contractors in the form of cash. Or "candy," as Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) puts it.
In the end, $8.8 billion can no longer be accounted for. And the Pentagon acknowledges Halliburton "requested that information in the audits be withheld" from the Congressional subpoena, "including allegations that the firm had spent too much money in purchasing fuel."
"By law, contractors can request that the government withhold any proprietary information from release."
Interesting law, when corporations can decide information about their public contracts is proprietary.
But anyway, it's all just "pocket change," says an e-mail circulating at the Fed.
(See article: "Worries Raised on Handling of Funds in Iraq," Los Angeles Times, June 22, 2005.)
And who can argue with that?
* * *
Recall Donald Rumsfeld chose the date of September 10, 2001 to announce that a Pentagon audit, ordered by Undersecretary Dov Zakheim and conducted by a Halliburton subsidiary, had discovered that the Defense Department can no longer account for $2.3 trillion in past transactions. (Note: You are not hallucinating: two… Continue reading
Halliburton Shares Soar10% After It Posts Second Quarter Profit
By Pam Easton, Associated Press
Friday July 22, 2005
HOUSTON (AP) — Oilfield services firm Halliburton Co.'s shares soared 10 percent Friday after it reported that an influx of new government contracts at its KBR and energy services units drove it to a second-quarter profit.
"It was a fundamentally solid quarter," Halliburton chief executive David Lesar said during a Friday morning conference call with analysts. "There are good reasons for all of us to feel proud and good about what we have accomplished."
In a report after the markets closed Thursday, Halliburton said it earned $392 million, or 78 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30 compared with a loss of $667 million, or $1.52 per share, last year. The year-ago result included a $200 million loss from an offshore engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning project in Brazil.
Revenue rose 4 percent to $5.2 billion from $5 billion.
"Absolutely stellar financial results here," research analyst Dan Pickering with Pickering Energy Partners Inc. said Friday. "It is clear that their business is strong and the current levels of profitability are sustainable."
On average, analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial expected earnings of 56 cents per share on revenue of $4.87 billion.
Halliburton shares rose $4.59, or 9.4 percent, to close at $53.29 Friday on the New York Stock Exchange, surpassing the previous 52-week closing high of $50.
Halliburton's shares last exceeded $53 on Sept. 12, 2000, closing at $54.37.
Three years ago, on July 23, 2002, Halliburton shares closed at $9.10.…Continue reading

Mr. Rove, the first thing that I would like to address is Afghanistan – the place that anyone with a true "understanding of 9/11″ knows is a nation that actually has a connection to the 9/11 attacks. One month after 9/11, we invaded Afghanistan, took down the Taliban, and left without capturing Usama Bin Laden – the alleged perpetrator of the September 11th attacks. In the meantime, Afghanistan has carried out democratic elections, but continues to suffer from extreme violence and unrest. Poppy production (yes, Karl, the drug trade) is at an all time high, thus flooding the world market with heroin. And of course, the oil pipeline (a.k.a. the Caspian Sea pipeline) is better protected by U.S. troops who now have a "legitimate" excuse to be in that part of Afghanistan. Interesting isn't it Karl that the drug "rat line" parallels the oil pipeline. (Yet, with all those troops guarding that same sliver of land, can you please explain how those drugs keep getting through?)
Now Karl, a question for you, since you seem to be the… Continue reading

Remember the Cheney/Rumsfeld/PNAC call for this militant metastasis in 2000? Or their realistic complaint that this "transformation" would take forever "absent a cataclysmic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor"? Or that Darth Cheney still holds 433,333 stock options in Halliburton, which is making more money off this imperial oil grab than any firm on earth? Map the bases, chart the profits, connect the dots. – Ed.
The last few weeks have been base-heavy ones in the news. The Pentagon's provisional Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) list, the first in a decade, was published to domestic screams of pain. It represents, according to the Washington Post, "a sweeping plan to close or reduce forces at 62 major bases and nearly 800 minor facilities" in the United States. The military is to be reorganized at home around huge, multi-force "hub bases" from which the Pentagon, in the fashion of a corporate conglomerate, hopes to "reap economies of scale." This was front-page news for days as politicians and communities from Connecticut (the U.S. Naval Submarine Base in Groton) and New Jersey (Fort Monmouth) to South Dakota (Ellsworth Air Force Base) cried bloody murder over the potential loss of jobs and threatened to fight to the death to prevent their specific base or set of bases (but not anyone else's) from closing – after all, those workers had been the most productive and patriotic around. These closings – and their potentially devastating effects on communities – were a reminder (though seldom dealt with that way in the media) of just how deeply the Pentagon has dug itself into the infrastructure of our nation.…Continue reading

The case of a government interpreter-turned-whistleblower serves to illustrate the snowballing trend of hiding embarrassing information — a pattern critics believe may ironically lead to greater public insecurity.
April 22 – Yesterday, a national security whistleblower finally had her day in court, while public interest advocates intensified their campaigns for a more open government, challenging what they see as a pattern of secrecy and impunity in the name of national security interests.
April 22 – Yesterday, a national security whistleblower finally had her day in court, while public interest advocates intensified their campaigns for a more open government, challenging what they see as a pattern of secrecy and impunity in the name of national security interests.
To public advocates, the case of Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who was allegedly fired for exposing misconduct within the agency, has come to symbolize the expansion of government opacity in the post-9/11 era. The stark resistance Edmonds has faced in attempting to challenge the alleged retaliation against her, say civil libertarians, illustrates how secrecy has cast a dark net over institutions of democratic government.
"Expanded secrecy rules are allowing government agencies to hide their incompetence and to hide their failure to really adequately protect the public," warned Beth Daley, spokesperson for the Project on Government Oversight (POGO), a Washington, DC-based watchdog group. Like many other open-government advocates, Daley sees secrecy not only as detrimental to democracy, but also, ironically, a potential security threat in itself.…Continue reading

Follow-up to "Into the Dark."
More than two years ago, we wrote here of a secret Pentagon plan to foment terrorism: sending covert agents to infiltrate terrorist groups and goad them into action — i.e., committing acts of murder and destruction. The purpose was two-fold: first, to bring the terrorist groups into the open, where they could be counterattacked; and second, to justify U.S. military attacks on the countries where the terrorists were operating — attacks which, in the Pentagon's words, would put those nations' "sovereignty at risk." It was a plan that countenanced — indeed, encouraged — the deliberate murder of innocent people and the imposition of U.S. military rule anywhere in the world that American leaders desired.
This plan is now being activated.
In fact, it's being expanded, as the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh revealed last week. Not only will U.S.-directed agents infiltrate existing terrorist groups and provoke them into action; the Pentagon itself will create its own terrorist groups and "death squads." After establishing their terrorist "credentials" through various atrocities and crimes, these American-run groups will then be able to ally with — and ultimately undermine — existing terrorist groups.
Top-level officials in the Pentagon, the U.S. intelligence services and the Bush administration confirmed to Hersh that the plan is going forward, under the direction of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld — just as we noted here in November 2002. Through a series of secret executive orders, George W. Bush has given Rumsfeld the authority to turn the entire world into "a global free-fire zone," a top Pentagon adviser says.…Continue reading

Liberal handwringing over the World Bank simply reflects a failure to recognise the role it exists to fulfil.
It's about as close to consensus as the left is ever likely to come. Everyone this side of Atilla the Hun and the Wall Street Journal agrees that Paul Wolfowitz's appointment as president of the World Bank is a catastrophe. Except me.
Under Wolfowitz, my fellow progressives lament, the World Bank will work for America. If only someone else were chosen, it would work for the world's poor. Joseph Stiglitz, the bank's renegade former chief economist, champions Ernesto Zedillo, a former president of Mexico. A Guardian leading article suggested Colin Powell or, had he been allowed to stand, Bono. But what all this hand-wringing reveals is a profound misconception about the role and purpose of the body Wolfowitz will run.
The World Bank and the IMF were conceived by the US economist Harry Dexter White. Appointed by the US Treasury to lead the negotiations on postwar economic reconstruction, White spent most of 1943 banging the heads of the other allied nations together. They were appalled by his proposals. He insisted that his institutions would place the burden of stabilising the world economy on the countries suffering from debt and trade deficits rather than on the creditors. He insisted that "the more money you put in, the more votes you have". He decided, before the meeting at Bretton Woods in 1944, that "the US should have enough votes to block any decision".…Continue reading
Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg on the Bush Administration, Civil Disobedience and the Eternal Fires of Hell
by Mira Ptacin
March 29, 2005
The sound of Daniel Ellsberg's voice could falsely identify him as a softy. It's delicate and cottony, but the Pentagon insider-turned-peace activist has wit cut sharp as a razor and insight that hasn't faded with age.
At 73 he is out of the limelight but still trying to shake up our nation. Ellsberg recently finished a U.S. 'Truth-Telling' tour, spoke in Israel and will soon be traveling to Hiroshima. And after publishing his first memoir 'Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers', he's polishing off his second book about America's fatal attraction to nuclear threats.
Ellsberg publicized the Pentagon Papers 30 years ago, helping tip public opinion against our last major attempt at imperial democracy. And on this day in 1973, the last American combat troops left Vietnam, ending the direct involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War. Now Ellsberg is talking again. Shouldn't we be listening?
Where do you see the US relationship with Iran heading in the next 6 months?
Well, every sign is that they're still on course on the program that some of these people laid out on The Project for the New American Century, going back to when they all worked under Dick Cheney back in '91-92. Enforcing regime change in Iraq was at the head of the list. In general it was a remaking of the Middle East.… Continue reading
Pentagon strategic plan codifies unilateral, preemptive attacks. The doctrine marks a shift from coalitions such as NATO, analysts say.
by John Hendren
Los Angeles Times
March 19, 2005
WASHINGTON – Two years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the Pentagon has formally included in key strategic plans provisions for launching preemptive strikes against nations thought to pose a threat to the United States.
The doctrine also now stipulates that the U.S. will use "active deterrence" in concert with its allies "if we can" but could act unilaterally otherwise, Defense officials said.
The changes codify the more assertive defense policy adopted by the Bush administration since the Sept. 11 attacks and are included in a "National Military Strategy" and "National Defense Strategy," reports that are part of a comprehensive review of military strategy conducted every four years.
"The president has the obligation to protect the country," said Douglas J. Feith, the Defense Department's undersecretary for policy. "And I don't think that there's anything in our Constitution that says that the president should not protect the country unless he gets some non-American's participation or approval of that."
Pentagon managers use the strategic plan to guide such decisions as where to place bases, which bases to eliminate, what weapons to buy and where to position them. The heads of the United States' regional commands across the globe, in turn, use the strategy to prioritize spending and form strategies for eliminating threats in their regions.
"The potentially catastrophic impact of an attack against the United States, its allies and its interests may necessitate actions in self-defense to preempt adversaries before they can attack," the National Military Strategy states.…Continue reading

Vanity Fair
Halliburton subsidiary KBR got $12 billion worth of exclusive contracts for work in Iraq. But even more shocking is how KBR spent some of the money. Former U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official Bunnatine Greenhouse is blowing the whistle on the Dick Cheney-linked company's profits of war.
This time, she was sure, they were going to get her.
Bunnatine Greenhouse had been a huge nuisance since the buildup to the war in Iraq-questioning contracts, writing caveats on them in her spidery script, wanting to know why Halliburton and its subsidiary KBR (formerly known as Kellogg, Brown and Root) should be thrown billions of dollars of government business while other companies, big and small, were shut out.
And Bunny Greenhouse wasn't that easy to ignore: she was the highest-ranking civilian at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Specifically, she was the officer in charge of ensuring that any work contracted out by the Army Corps to private industry-from help in building bridges and dams and highways to support for wartime troops-was granted in a fair and aboveboard way. For two years, Greenhouse had asked hard questions about why the head of the Corps, to whom she reported directly, kept giving exclusive, non-compete contracts to KBR that now amounted to roughly $10.8 billion. Greenhouse was fearless, and she was blunt. In the Corps's male hierarchy, it probably didn't help that she was a woman-or that she was black.
On October 6, 2004, Greenhouse was summoned by… Continue reading

The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. GARRETT). Under the Speaker's announced policy of January 7, 2003, the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. PALLONE) is recognized for 60 minutes.
Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, earlier this month Congress approved an $87 billion supplemental for the war and reconstruction efforts in Iraq. While I believe it is critically important that we get our military troops all the resources they need to safely complete their mission in Iraq, I do not support rubber-stamping this legislation so the Bush administration gets a free ride from Congress.
The Bush administration must account for its war strategy. The Bush administration must also answer the tough questions regarding questionable no-bid contracts, contracts that benefit Vice President DICK CHENEY's former employer, an employer that continues to pay CHENEY hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in deferred salary, contracts that are free of any oversight from Congress.
Yet another 9/11 "Cui bono?" (who profits?) alert: This is almost ancient news by now if anyone was listening, but this is one of the clearest earliest Congressional examinations of rampant corruption in Iraq. It was a typical after hours empty chamber exercise, but the intrepid Marcy Kaptur did get Cheney's continuing possession of 433,333 Halliburton stock options and his consequent millions in war profits into the public record at last.
Mr. Speaker, right now Halliburton holds a monopoly on Iraq. The company's no-bid contract was first negotiated in secret and originally intended for… Continue reading

Extremely important "big picture" insights into the Bush team's 9/11-enabled world from a fearless senator and a Holocaust victim family member.
by Harvey Wasserman
Columbus Free Press / Ohio
March 7, 2005
The U.S. Senate's senior Constitutional scholar has correctly equated Bush with Hitler, and the usual attack dogs are howling. But they are wrong, and Americans must now face the harsh realities of an increasingly fascist and totalitarian GOP.
Octogenarian Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia made the equation in the context of Bush's attack on Senate procedures which might slow or halt his on-going attempt to pack the courts with extreme right-wing fanatics. Byrd said Bush's moves to destroy time-honored Senate rules parallel Hitler's ramming fascist legislation through his gutted Reichstag. "Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality," said Byrd. "He recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal."
Anti-Defamation League Director Abraham Foxman has played the holocaust card for the Republicans, saying "It is hideous, outrageous and offensive for Senator Byrd to suggest that the Republican Party's tactics could in any way resemble those of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party.
GOP Chair Ken Mehlman has labeled Byrd's remarked "reprehensible and beyond the pale," remarks joined by Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. Santorum is best known for equating sexuality between consenting gays with bestiality between humans and dogs.
But Byrd is one of the few in either house of Congress to… Continue reading
Editor's Note:
This long heads-up analysis of our apparently imminent war on Iran by CIA veteran (and 9/11 Truth Statement co-signer) Ray McGovern is vital reading for three reasons. One, it outlines the endgame of the Bush team's global petro-dominance plan, a plan that arguably first became public when planes started striking the WTC towers in New York. Second, it speaks clearly and courageously about Israel's provocative nuclear arsenal and the overwhelming power Israeli rightists like Sharon now wield over US policy. And finally, it instructively portrays the hell-bent Orwellian mindset of the reigning neocon crew, who were collectively called "the crazies" in the Reagan/Bush era and whom Colin Powell was still calling "the f**king crazies" a year after 9/11 hit. It is not a pretty picture, but understanding the methodic deception that empowers their madness also moves us closer to 9/11 truth.
Attacking Iran: I Know It Sounds Crazy, But…
By Ray McGovern
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"(Short pause)
"'This notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran is simply ridiculous.'
"'And having said that, all options are on the table.'
"Even the White House stenographers felt obliged to note the result: '(Laughter).'"
(The Washington Post's Dan Froomkin on George Bush's February 22 press conference)
For a host of good reasons — the huge and draining commitment of U.S. forces to Iraq and Iran's ability to stir the Iraqi pot to boiling, for starters — the notion that the Bush administration would mount a "preemptive" air attack on Iran seems insane. And still more insane if the objective includes overthrowing Iran's government again, as in 1953 — this time under the rubric of "regime change."
But Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men — yes, only men — who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as "the crazies." I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it.
According to James Naughtie, author of The Accidental American: Tony Blair and the Presidency, former Secretary of State Colin Powell added an old soldier's adjective to the "crazies" sobriquet in referring to the same officials. Powell, who was military aide to Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger in the early eighties, was overheard calling them "the f—ing crazies" during a phone call with British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw before the war in Iraq. At the time, Powell was reportedly deeply concerned over their determination to attack — with or without UN approval. Small wonder that they got rid of Powell after the election, as soon as they had no more use for him.
If further proof of insanity were needed, one could simply look at the unnecessary carnage in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003. That unprovoked attack was, in my view, the most fateful foreign policy blunder in our nation's history…so far.
It Can Get Worse
"The crazies" are not finished. And we do well not to let their ultimate folly obscure their current ambition, and the further trouble that ambition is bound to bring in the four years ahead. In an immediate sense, with U.S. military power unrivaled, they can be seen as "crazy like a fox," with a value system in which "might makes right." Operating out of that value system, and now sporting the more respectable misnomer/moniker "neoconservative," they are convinced that they know exactly what they are doing. They have a clear ideology and a geopolitical strategy, which leap from papers they put out at the Project for the New American Century over recent years. Continue reading

A growing military truth movement picks up (and lets off) steam. Wait until they find out how deep the lies go. – Editor
Sean Huze enlisted in the Marine Corps right after the Sept. 11 attacks and was, in his own words, "red, white and blue all the way" when he deployed to Iraq 16 months later. Unquestioning in his support of the invasion, he grew irritated when his father, a former National Guardsman, expressed doubts about the war.
Today, all that has changed. Haunted by the civilian casualties he witnessed, Corporal Huze has become one of a small but increasing number of Iraq veterans who have formed or joined groups to oppose the war or to criticize the way it is being fought.
The two most visible organizations – Operation Truth, of which Corporal Huze is a member, and Iraq Veterans Against the War – were founded only last summer but are growing in membership and sophistication. The Internet has helped them spread their word and galvanize like-minded people in ways unimaginable to activist veterans of previous generations, who are also lending help.
"There's strength in numbers," Corporal Huze said. "By ourselves, we're lone voices, a whisper in a swarm of propaganda out there. Combined, we can become a roar and have an impact on the issues that we care about."
Those who turn to the groups are generally united in their disillusionment, though their responses to the… Continue reading

From the American Conservative magazine to the Smirking Chimp website, views on 9/11 consequences are starting to converge. Here is a short sharp meditation from the latter source to remind us once more that we are here. – Editor
As the world mourns the anniversary of the Holocaust, we continue to wonder how one of the most advanced countries in the world could commit such an atrocity. We forget that the slaughter didn't occur overnight but took years to set up. Little by little individuals assuaged their consciences and found it advantageous to go along with authority, committing a number of small acts, ultimately culminating in genocide.
Anyone with a smattering of awareness today questions the path down which our leaders are taking us. Consider the direction. As America pursues an aggressive military policy-Bush's preemptive strike-invading Iraq and Afghanistan, threatening to bomb Iran and North Korea, and imposing our economic form of corporate democracy around the world, Americans are becoming more nationalistic and more willing to support acts we considered totally unacceptable in the past.
Today our government invades our privacy and mounts the most comprehensive collection of personal data and tracking system of citizens in history. Thousands of cameras observe us. New cars have chips that allow us to be tracked. The military engages in domestic spying and Congress is days away from appointing an Attorney General who justifies torture-newly defined as anything short of death.

Student booted in Bible flap suing school district
EAST COUNTY A student who claims he was suspended for talking about Christianity to classmates and banned from bringing his Bible to campus has filed a federal lawsuit against an East County school district.
An attorney for Kenneth Dominguez, 16, said the Grossmont Union High School District infringed on his client's Constitutional rights. However, an attorney representing the district countered that Dominguez was suspended because of "an incredible amount of disruptive behavior," not because of his religious fervor.
The case, which is attracting attention in the Christian community, is taking place in a district that is run by a board dominated by religious conservatives.
Dominguez is seeking undisclosed damages, attorney's fees and for his disciplinary record to be expunged. The lawsuit was filed March 24 in U.S. District Court in San Diego and claims the school district violated Dominguez's First, Fourth, Fifth and 14th Amendment rights. Superintendent Ralf Swenson, Principal Randy Reid and teacher Eugene Andrews are also named in the complaint.
Dominguez, who no longer attends school in the district, was suspended for two days on Feb. 18, 2010 while at Gateway East Community Day School, a continuation school for students who have been expelled from their traditional campus, are on probation or have been habitual truants. Gateway East, in downtown El Cajon, has 34 students, two teachers and two classrooms, district spokeswoman Catherine Martin said. It is smaller than a 7-Eleven.
The lawsuit contends Dominguez was told he could not talk about his faith at school because of the separation of church and state and was suspended after failing to comply.
A suspension document from the school states: "Student was told to stop preaching at school. Student continued after being warned several times." It goes on to say: "Student will not bring Bible to school."
"We have no record of any students saying he was insulting, degrading or mean," said Brad Dacus, president of the Sacramento-based Pacific Justice Institute, a firm that specializes in religious freedom cases and is representing Dominguez. "This is like something we would have heard of happening in the former Soviet Union or Mao Zedong's China 40 years ago. The fact that it has happened in the United States, in a school district that has refused to admit any wrongdoing, is deplorable."
David Blair-Loy, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union, said if the facts are as Dominguez claims, "it looks like a very serious free speech violation."
The school district presented an entirely different side of the story.
Dan Shinoff, an attorney representing Grossmont Union, said Dominguez has a record of disruptive behavior, that he was interrupting class and that the school district is committed to upholding the religious freedoms of all its students. Shinoff also said that Dominguez was never prohibited from bringing his Bible to school.
"This issue has nothing to do with this young man's religious viewpoints," Shinoff said. "There is absolute respect by the board, the Superintendent, the principal and the teacher for the freedom of religion that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The disconnect appears to be one of whether the school ensures learning occurs in a non-disruptive environment.

I love to laugh,so it's basically a good thing if you make me smile. My friends and family are super important to me, and I love spending time with them. I am looking for someone that has the same values when it comes to their friends and family as well. I also want a family of my own someday, so it's a deal breaker if that is not something you are looking for. I am a huge animal lover, I have 2 dogs and they are like my kids. I am a fairly spontaneous person that is always up for an adventure. I love to travel whether it's a town over or across the ocean to another continent.

Pasta Puttanesca Recipe
Jul 25, 2011 4:01 pm
How to make the spicy Italian classic
If you don't know the age-old tale of pasta puttanesca (our favorite rendition, at least), gather round. It's said that Italian "streetwalkers" — of yore, of course — invented this dish for three reasons: 1. The busy ladies didn't have time to go shopping and had to cook with basic kitchen staples 2. They weren't allowed in the market anyway, and 3. The seductively salty, spicy and sweet fragrance of the sauce cooking would entice men into their houses. We proudly make this dish in honor of these gals who did us the greatest service of all: Instilling an undying love of anchovies.
This pasta puttanesca recipe uses penne, but it's typically made with linguine as well.
Servings: 4
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed in a press
4 anchovy filets, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
2 teaspoons capers
1/2 cup black or kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
1 large can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 box pasta (we like how sauce clings to penne), cooked and drained
freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then saute the onion and garlic for 5 minutes or until translucent.
- Add anchovies and cook for another minute, breaking up the filets with a wooden spoon.
- Add the chili flakes, capers, olives, tomatoes with juices, salt, sugar and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Divide pasta into four bowls and top each with sauce and grated Parmesan.

I miss certain things from the 90's, but not all of the 90's.
The cartoons and shows, definately. The rest, not so much.
I don't think humanity's gone mad - humanity never had it in the first place. History may tell us otherwise, but history can always be manipulated by those with power thus rendering our perception inaccurate.
No, I think a far more apt statement would be that humanity still hasn't found it's way yet.
I can't speak for the world, but you know things are wrong when journalism starts getting their information from The Onion and The Daily Show.
