Case study: How the Commission went easy on Rumsfeld, Myers and Wolfowitz
"I had no idea hijacked airliners would be used as weapons."
So said Rumsfeld, in his opening remarks to the Kean Commission on March 23, 2004. His final statement on the topic while under oath was, "I plead ignorance."
Officials at NORAD have said that when the hijackings first occurred, they initially thought it was part of the Vigilant Guardian drills running that morning. Despite some confusion, once Flight 11 struck the World Trade Center at 8:45 AM, everyone should have known this was not a test.
Former White House terrorism adviser Richard Clarke's testimony, one day later, was interesting, but amounted to little more than a distraction. There were more cameras on Clarke than on anyone else during the two-day national broadcast of the commission hearings. In reality, his testimony was nowhere near as interesting as the joint appearance by Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Myers the day before. I do not question Clarke's sincerity at this time, just the timing, which he did not choose. His book was released at a time chosen by the White House, and the testimony depended on the book. He had finished it well over 6 months before, but it was held up by the White House security clearance.
As a result, the book came out on the eve of Rumsfeld's sworn testimony to the 9/11 Commission. Very clever if intentional, because it distracted everyone from two issues completely ignored by the commissioners, and overshadowed by Clarke and his book when they questioned Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld:
ISSUE #1 On the morning of September 11, 2001, NORAD was running war games involving the scenario of hijacked airliners, while the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) was running a drill for the scenario of an errant aircraft crashing into a government building, at the exact same time as an identical scenario was perpetrated in reality.…Continue reading

Dear World Legislators, Parliamentarians, and World Citizens,
We have watched with alarm that the sad and tragic events of 9-11 (11 September, 2001) have resulted in two wars and a global rollback in civil liberties. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, yet it has been attacked in the name of them. People in countries worldwide have suffered reduced civil liberties in the name of 9-11, and intelligence surveillance of ordinary citizens has expanded dramatically.
I submit to you that before any more wars are launched or liberties are lost in the name of the "war on terror" launched by the Bush Administration after 9-11, a full international inquiry into the events leading up to and on 9-11 be held, which includes 9-11 victims' family members from the U.S. and other nations.
The National Green Party of the United States has requested an open independent 9-11 investigation that would involve 9-11 victims' family members. This is a good start, but it must also be an international inquiry in addition that includes 9-11 family members from nations worldwide who lost loved ones in the 9-11 attacks.
We need this to occur because many, including the 9-11 Family Steering Committee (U.S.), are growing increasingly frustrated with the stunning lack of hard questions for witnesses appearing before the 9-11 Commission. Until these hard questions are asked and fully answered, we should refuse more wars, and renounce reduced liberty worldwide in the name of 9-11 and it's resultant war… Continue reading

A Review of "The New Pearl Harbor"
By Marc Estrin
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11
David Ray Griffin
Olive Branch Press, 2004
Paper, 214 pp, $15.00
The official story goes something like this:
With no actionable warning from intelligence agencies, four planes were hijacked by terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001. Two crashed into the Word Trade Center, which then collapsed, and shortly thereafter, the third into the Pentagon. The last plane went down in Pennsylvania after a struggle between passengers and hijackers. Air defense arrived too late to stop the catastrophes. Responding to this attack on the homeland, the president declared a global war on terror which may last for generations until evil is finally eradicated, the security of America firmly established, and the world made safe for freedom and democracy.
In The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin compiles the evidence that every single assertion in the official story is implausible or impossible, and that something other must explain the inconsistencies and contra-factual assertions.
The implications of the accumulated evidence is that the Bush administration was complicit in the events of September 11th, and not merely a victim of structural problems or incompetence on the part of the intelligence establishment. In a nuanced discussion of "complicity", Griffin distinguishes eight possible levels, from the lying about events to maximize political ends, through intentionally allowing expected attacks, to actual involvement in the planning of them.
Griffin does not make specific accusations, nor does he hypothesize a "true" version of what happened. But he does demand unflinching investigations of all the contradictions, clear reporting of the results, and most difficult, a courageous drawing of conclusions, no matter how "unthinkable" or outrageous they may appear.
Excellent review of Griffin's tour de force by the intrepid Counterpunch crew, one of the few lefty journals willing to even look at that day.
In the months since the book was published, we have been swamped with news from the 9/11 Commission concerning both domestic and foreign intelligence which indicated a large and imminent attack on the United States. But the Commission, its members appointed by President Bush, is focusing on the future. According to Vice-Chair Lee Hamilton, "We're not interested in trying to assess blame…" Their goal is to understand what happened so as to restructure intelligence so that such "a breakdown" may not happen again. Given this limited mandate, almost none of the contradictions Griffin raises is likely to be discussed, or its ramifications analyzed before the case is closed.
The first part of The New Pearl Harbor looks in detail at the timeline and events of 9/11 itself. How is it, Griffin asks, that even the first airplane was not intercepted — given standard procedures, operating normally many times a year, for off-course or otherwise anomalous aircraft? The FAA, NORAD, and the NMCC (National Military Command Center at the Pentagon) have a clear and working set of standard operating procedures which on September 11th, and on that day only, failed to operate. Griffin lays them out, along with the strange, and changing official excuses for their "failure". Continue reading
Friday, July 31, 2004 at Congressional hearings on "The 9/11 Commission Report"
(Transcribed by Kyle Hence of 9/11 Citizens' Watch)
Senator Dayton: Thank you Madame Chairman, and I , I also want to commend you for holding this hearing in quick response to the 9/11 Commission's Report. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Co-chairman, I want to say again to you that we are all indebted to you, to the other eight members of the Commission and the staff for this critically important work that you have provided the nation.
It is a profoundly disturbing report because it chronicles in excruciating detail the terrible attack against our homeland, the despicable murder of so many American citizens and the horrible destruction to countless other lives and liberties throughout this nation.
And because of the utter failure to defend them [American citizens] by their federal government, by their leaders, and the institutions that were entrusted to do so and because of serious discrepancies between the facts that you've set forth and what was told to the American people, to members of Congress, and to your own Commission by those, some of those authorities.
There's way too much to cover here but I will begin.
According to your report the first of the four airliner hijackings occurred on September 11th at 8:14 Eastern time. At 10:03 AM, almost two hours later, an hour and forty-nine minutes to be exact, the fourth and last plane crashed before reaching its intended target, the U.S. Capitol, because of the… Continue reading
May 22, 2003
Within minutes after the first aircraft hit the World Trade Center, the FAA immediately established several phone bridges that included FAA field facilities, the FAA Command Center, FAA headquarters, DOD, the Secret Service, and other government agencies. The US Air Force liaison to the FAA immediately joined the FAA headquarters phone bridge and established contact with NORAD on a separate line. The FAA shared real-time information on the phone bridges about the unfolding events, including information about loss of communication with aircraft, loss of transponder signals, unauthorized changes in course, and other actions being taken by all the flights of interest, including Flight 77. Other parties on the phone bridges, in turn, shared information about actions they were taking. NORAD logs indicate that the FAA made formal notification about American Flight 77 at 9:24 a.m., but information about the flight was conveyed continuously during the phone bridges before the formal notification.
Editor's Note: Much has been written about the anomalies surrounding the lack of air defense on 9/11. Here are a few important updates.

January 18, 2005 (FTW) – In an argument of over 600 pages and 1,000 footnotes, Crossing the Rubicon makes the case for official complicity within the U.S. government and names Dick Cheney as the prime suspect in the crimes of 9/11. Since the publication of this book (to which I had the privilege of contributing a chapter), many people have asked to hear the case against Cheney argued "short & sweet."
I will make it as short as possible, but it can never be sweet.
There are 3 major points made within this book that are crucial to proving Cheney's guilt. I shall first list them and then go on to prove each point as laid out in Crossing the Rubicon.
By Eric Lichtblau,
New York Times
WASHINGTON (Feb. 9) – In the months before the Sept. 11 attacks, federal aviation officials reviewed dozens of intelligence reports that warned about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, some of which specifically discussed airline hijackings and suicide operations, according to a previously undisclosed report from the 9/11 commission.
But aviation officials were "lulled into a false sense of security," and "intelligence that indicated a real and growing threat leading up to 9/11 did not stimulate significant increases in security procedures," the commission report concluded.
The report discloses that the Federal Aviation Administration, despite being focused on risks of hijackings overseas, warned airports in the spring of 2001 that if "the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable."
Ask yourself how the 9/11 Commission could find that the FAA was "lulled into a false sense of security" after receiving 52 terrorist warnings including statements that domestic hijackings were preferable if the intent was "to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion." Next watch the media talking heads endlessly repeat the official mantra of complacency, distraction and miscommunications. Then it may be clear how far the Commission and the spin doctors will go to protect the "official story" – and how cowed or stupid they all believe we are. See also the Voices of September 11th's hard-hitting Feb. 10 response at the end.
The report takes the F.A.A.…Continue reading
Editor's Note:
There has been so little journalistic attention to 9/11 truth that glaring factual contradictions in the "official narrative" can go unremarked in the media for months if not years. In the following letter, 911truth.org co-founder Kyle Hence urges Richard Clarke (former counter-terrorism 'czar' for both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Author, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror) to deal with the fundamental inconsistencies between his writing and testimony regarding 9/11 and the version released as gospel by the 9/11 Commission. Clarke has yet to respond but Kyle's letter is an education in itself.
Open Letter to Richard A. Clarke
From: Kyle Hence
February 23, 2005
Subject: Pertaining to accounts in Clarke's book Against All Enemies, neither retracted or refuted, regarding 9/11 war games and the participation of General Myers and Sec. Rumsfeld in a video conference managed from the White House Situation Room by Richard Clarke with the assistance of his Deputy, Roger Cressey.
Note of Explanation: This letter/email was presented (via email or in person) to Mr. Clarke on four occasions without a response of any kind to the specific questions raised regarding the actions (or lack of) from our military and top officials in positions of responsibility on 9/11. Given no response, and Rep. Cynthia McKinney's attempt to raise the issue at February 16th Armed Services Committee hearing, CitizensWatch is taking the step of making this letter public.
This letter (see below) with questions pertaining to 9/11 (wargames, sworn testimony by Rumsfeld & Myers) was first sent as an email in June of 2004 to Mr. Clarke via his consulting company, Good Harbor. This note and these questions were presented personally to Mr. Clarke a second time on October 6, 2004 – and via email (3rd attempt) directly to his personal email box on October 15. When presented with a second opportunity in person (4th attempt) to respond to these queries backstage at a December 7th function at the Institute for Ethical Culture in New York City, Mr. Clarke refused to acknowledge the author and instead quickly left the room.
Receiving no response despite repeated attempts I am now releasing this to the public as an 'open letter' in the hopes responsible members of the press, family members and/or dedicated investigators will follow up publicly and personally with Mr. Clarke and the Commissioners who failed to examine the glaring discrepancies between Clarke's accounts and those offered in public statements and in sworn testimony by Chairman Myers and Sec. Rumsfeld.
It should be noted that Richard Clarke is the only member of the Bush Administration to publicly apologize to the 9/11 families. While generating controversy at the time, his testimony before the 9/11 Commission regarding the warnings and plan for dealing with Al-Qaeda that he presented to Condi Rice and the Bush Administration in January of 2001 has been recently bolstered by the release of an unclassified version of his January memo to then National Security Advisor Rice.
This controversy could pale in comparison, however, to what could be revealed in sworn testimonies before the appropriate Committee regarding Sept. 11th war games (including "Vigilant Warrior" mentioned by Gen. Myers on the morning of Sept. 11th), changing NORAD timelines and the testimony already offered by Chairman Myers and Sec. Rumsfeld regarding their whereabouts and actions taken in the first and most critical minutes immediately following the attack on the World Trade Center. {see pages 1-7; Against All Enemies)
This is being made public now in an effort to force this issue into the public's eye and ultimately to see full accountability and disclosure. Another 9/11 commemoration must not pass without these issues being addressed forthrightly and honestly before the American people; either in Manhattan before an AG Spitzer or DA Morganthau-convened Grand Jury or public hearings, in Albany before the appropriate Committee or on Capitol Hill. We offer this in hope that those with integrity in a position of responsibility will rise to this challenge. In this case above all others we must not allow the truth to continue to be veiled or obfuscated.

9/11 Commission Report – one year later… By Gregor Holland 911truthmovement.org
One year after the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, serious questions that were raised before and during the Commission proceedings remain unanswered. For many, the Commission Report raised more questions than it answered. Not the least of these has been posed by honorable Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. McKinney recently questioned Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Myers "about the four war games that were taking place on September 11 and how they may have impaired our ability to respond to those attacks." McKinney got a partial answer a week later. In the first on-the-record acknowledgement that there were four war games underway on 9/11/01, Myers told her that all battle positions were manned because of the drills…
"..so it was an easy transition from an exercise into a real world situation. It actually enhanced the response."
This answer echoed one provided by General Ralph Eberhard during the final 9/11 Commission hearing. The question to Eberhard, posed by Commissioner Roemer, was coerced by hearing attendees who interrupted the hearing, forcing the issue by yelling "What about the war games?" The failure of air defenses to respond on that morning does not support the given answer by Myers and Eberhard.…Continue reading
The Complete 9/11 Timeline hosted by The Center for Cooperative Research recently published a revised set of entries on the military exercises of September 11 , providing a goldmine of well-sourced information. Compiled by Paul Thompson, the 9/11 Timeline long ago became the leading resource of mainstream news reports about September 11. Available in book form as The Terror Timeline (2004), it continues to evolve online.
The latest material for the first time casts light on what may have been the day's master wargame: Global Guardian, run out of Offutt Air Force Base by the US Strategic Command (Stratcom) under Admiral Richard Mies ( official bio ). He has since retired and taken up a gig as the CEO of Hicks & Associates, a "strategic consultant" to the federal government dealing in "military transformation."
Our New York correspondent, Nicholas Levis, has written a review.
UPDATE: Filmed in January 2000, and aired on 3/4/2001, the makers of "The Lone Gunmen" show that the idea of crashing planes into buildings isn't anything new. As a matter of fact, their representation is eerily familiar given what we know today about the Wargames taking place on September 11th, 2001. (The Lone Gunmen Clip: Click Here )
Aug. 2005:
As the day dawns over the East Coast on September 11th, 2001, the US Strategic Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska is on full alert, busily dispatching warplanes around North America in a rehearsal for Armageddon.
Stratcom directs the US nuclear arsenal. A number of interrelated air-defense wargames are underway around the country, under the overall umbrella of Global Guardian.…Continue reading
by David Ray Griffin, Ph.D.
This latest article from Dr. Griffin follows up on his lecture, "Truth and Politics of 9/11: Omissions and Distortions of The 9/11 Commission Report", in which he summarized the first half of his book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Ommissions and Distortions. He completes that summary here, with his thorough review of the second half, particularly, the inability of the US military to intercept anyof the hijacked planes on 9/11.
At the end of 2004, I published The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions1. Shortly before that book appeared, I delivered a lecture in which I set out to summarize its major points. (That lecture is now available in both print and DVD form.)2 Unfortunately, The 9/11 Commission Report itself3 contains so many omissions and distortions that I was able to summarize only the first half of my book in that lecture. The present lecture summarizes the second half of the book, which deals with the Commission's explanation as to why the US military was unable to intercept any of the hijacked airplanes.
This explanation was provided in the first chapter of The 9/11 Commission Report. Although that chapter is only 45 pages long, the issues involved are so complex that my analysis of it required six chapters. One of the complexities is the fact that the 9/11 Commission's account of why the military could not intercept the hijacked airliners is the third version of the official account… Continue reading
911Truth.org urges nationwide response to United 93 (a.k.a. The Official Film of the Official Story)
911Truth.org is announcing a nationwide campaign to distribute flyers to the audience attending United 93, which opens at theaters across the country on Friday, April 28th. In New York City, friends of 9/11 truth received local television news coverage after conducting a visibility action Tuesday night at the movie's Tribeca Film Festival premiere. We encourage our readers to continue this campaign throughout the nation.
Many people have objected to the release of this movie because it commercializes September 11th. Still, the desire to see it may simply express a fundamental need to understand forces that profoundly affect our lives. The real problem lies in a screenplay borrowed directly from the dubious claims of the US government and its official "9/11 Commission." In its shameless casting of FAA executive Ben Sliney as himself, United 93 provides a Hollywood platform to a salaried spokesperson for the government.
Still, to merely reject United 93 and its version of what happened on Flight 93 is to miss an important opportunity. Those attending this film likely have a deep interest in the issues of 9/11. We urge 9/11 truth activists to respond creatively, by encouraging United 93 audiences to attend alternative events (such as, to take one example, the May 8th New York town hall meeting in Tribeca, which is designed as a direct response to United 93). Accordingly, we have designed… Continue reading

1) AWOL Chain of Command
a. It is well documented that the officials topping the chain of command for response to a domestic attack – George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers, Montague Winfield, Ralph Eberhart – all found reason to do something else during the actual attacks, other than assuming their duties as decision-makers.
b. Who was actually in charge? Dick Cheney, Richard Clarke, Norman Mineta and the 9/11 Commission directly conflict in their accounts of top-level response to the unfolding events, such that several (or all) of them must be lying.… Continue reading

Since 9/11, numerous authors and researchers have drawn attention to training exercises being conducted or prepared for by the U.S. military and other government agencies at the time of the September 11 attacks. With names like Vigilant Guardian, Global Guardian, Timely Alert II, and Tripod, the question has arisen as to what connection these drills might have had with real-world events that morning.[1]
Attention has also been drawn to exercises held prior to 9/11, often bearing an uncanny resemblance to the actual attacks. For example, soon after 9/11 the New Yorker reported: "During the last several years, the government regularly planned for and simulated terrorist attacks, including scenarios that involved multiple-plane hijackings."[2] USA Today reported: "In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating … hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center."[3]
As I will show in this essay, exercises also took place that bore a chilling resemblance to the… Continue reading
When the 9/11 Commission was wrapped up, the Federal Aviatiation Agency (FAA) was blamed for failing to quickly relay information of the hijackings to the military.
Now, years later, the finger is being pointed at the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad). As revealed in an article in the Washington Post (free subscription required):
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources.
"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."

"I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described," John Farmer, a former New Jersey attorney general who led the staff inquiry into events on Sept. 11, said in a recent interview. "The… Continue reading

"Information Clearing House" — — I received a number of intelligent responses from readers of my August 14 column, "Gullible Americans," The letters deserve a reply. Moreover, some contain important points that should be shared with a wider audience. Pundits such as myself are not the only people who have interesting things to say. Considering the number of letters and the time it would require to respond individually, I am replying instead in this column.
Most readers from whom I heard understand the difference between loyalty to country and loyalty to a government. They understand that to support a political party or a government that is destroying the US Constitution and America's reputation in the world is, in fact, an act of treason. Therefore, I did not have to read the usual drivel about how doubting "our government" is un-American.
Among the issues raised are:
How could the complicity of the US government, or some part of it, in the events of 9/11 be kept a secret? For the most part, this question comes from Americans who believe the government must have been, to some extent, complicit in the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.
How can we differentiate between the real facts, the 9/11 Commission's reporting of the facts, and "conspiracy theories"?
What about the role of suicide flyers led by M. Atta?
What about the Popular Mechanics article and the TV documentary that debunk the skeptics and support… Continue reading

A significant stir was created by the publication in Vanity Fair of "9/11 Live: The NORAD Tapes" by Michael Bronner, the first journalist to be given access to these audiotapes–which NORAD had provided, upon demand, to the 9/11 Commission in 2004. The public impact of Bronner's essay was increased greatly by the availability of snippets from these tapes (which could be accessed from the online version of the article) to be played on TV and radio news reports about the article.1
The stir was caused primarily by Bronner's report of the charge by members of the 9/11 Commission–which had played excepts from these tapes during hearings in 2004–that the military had made false statements to the Commission, perhaps knowingly. This stir was increased by the publication at the same time–the first week of August 2006–of Without Precedent, a book by Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton–the chairman and vice chairman of the Commission, respectively–in which this charge is also made.2
The charge primarily involves the military's pre-2004 claims about the responses of NEADS–the Northeast Air Defense Sector of NORAD (the North American Aerospace Defense Command)–to two flights: AA (American Airlines) 77 and UA (United Airlines) 93. (There is also, although Bronner does not deal with it, a serious discrepancy with regard to UA 175.) These claims are contradicted by the tapes, with "tapes" here meaning not only the NORAD tapes, to which Bronner refers in his essay's subtitle, but also what he calls "the parallel recordings from the F.A.A.,"3which he used in conjunction with the NORAD tapes.…Continue reading

Dragon Ball Complete Box Set, Volumes 1-16 [With Double-Sided Poster and Collector's Booklet] [BOXED-DRAGON BALL COMP BOX-16V] [Boxed Set]
Dragon Ball Complete Box Set, Volumes 1-16
The series begins with a monkey-tailed boy named Goku befriending a teenage girl named Bulma, whom he accompanies to find the seven Dragon Balls, which summon the dragon Shenlong to grant the user one wish. The journey leads them to the desert bandit Yamcha, who later becomes an ally; Chi-Chi, whom Goku unknowingly agrees to marry; and Pilaf, an impish man who seeks the Dragon Balls to fulfill his desire to rule the world. Goku then undergoes rigorous training regimes under the martial arts master Kame-Sen'nin in order to fight in the Tenkaichi Budōkai. A monk named Kuririn becomes his training partner and rival, but they soon become best friends. After the tournament, Goku searches for the Dragon Ball his Grandfather left him and almost single-handedly defeats the Red Ribbon Army and their hired assassin Taopaipai. Thereafter Goku reunites with his friends to defeat the fortuneteller Baba Uranai's fighters and have her locate the last Dragon Ball to revive a friend killed by Taopaipai.
At the Tenkaichi Budōkai three years later Goku and his allies oppose Kame-Sen'nin's rival and Taopaipai's brother, Tsuru-Sen'nin, and his students Tenshinhan and Chaozu. Kuririn is killed after the tournament and Goku tracks down and is defeated by his killer, Piccolo Daimao. The samurai Yajirobe takes Goku to the hermit Karin, where he receives healing and a power boost. Meanwhile Piccolo fights Kame-Sen'nin and Chaozu, leading to both their deaths, and uses the Dragon Balls to regain his youth before destroying Shenlong. Goku then kills Piccolo Daimao, who, just before dying, spawns his son/reincarnation Piccolo Jr.. Karin then directs Goku to Kami-sama, the original creator of the Dragon Balls, to restore Shenlong and revive his slain friends. Goku trains under Kami for the next three years, once again reuniting with his friends at the Tenkaichi Budōkai, where he narrowly wins against Piccolo Jr. before leaving with Chi-Chi to keep his promise to marry her.
Five years later, Goku is a young adult and father to his son Gohan, when Raditz arrives on Earth, identifies Goku as his younger brother 'Kakarrot' and reveals to him that they are members of a nearly extinct extraterrestrial race called the Saiyans, who sent Goku to conquer Earth for them, until he suffered a severe head injury and lost all memory of his mission. Goku refuses to continue the mission, sides with Piccolo, and sacrifices his life to defeat Raditz. In the afterlife Goku trains under the North Kaiō until he is revived by the Dragon Balls to save the Earth from the invading Nappa and Vegeta. In the battle Yamcha, Chaozu, Tenshinhan, and Piccolo are killed, and the Dragon Balls cease to exist. Kuririn and the galactic tyrant Freeza learn of another set of Dragon Balls on planet Namek, whereupon Bulma, Gohan, and Kuririn search for them to revive their friends and subsequently the Earth's Dragon Balls, leading to several battles with Freeza's minions and Vegeta, the latter standing alongside the heroes to fight the Ginyu Force, a team of mercenaries. The long battle with Freeza himself comes to a close when Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan of legends and defeats him.
A group of Androids, created by a member of the former Red Ribbon Army, Doctor Gero, appear three years later, seeking revenge against Goku. During this time, an evil life form called Cell also emerges and, after absorbing two of the Androids to achieve his "perfect form," holds his own fighting tournament to challenge the protagonists. After Goku sacrifices his own life to no avail, Gohan avenges his father by defeating Cell. Seven years later, Goku, briefly revived for one day, and his allies are drawn into a fight against Majin Boo. After numerous battles, including destruction and re-creation of the Earth, Goku destroys Boo with a Genki-Dama (a sphere of pure energy drawn from all intelligent beings on Earth) and wishes for him to be reincarnated as a "good person." Ten years later, at another Tenkaichi Budōkai, Goku meets Boo's human reincarnation, Oob. Leaving their match unfinished, Goku departs with Oob to train him to be Earth's new guardian.

Be honest-when you see the black and white on these pages, a chill runs down your spine. It's not a car you want to see in your mirror, let alone in your favorite magazine. But you're a GM fan, so after the initial shock your thoughts turn to the lump under the hood. You wonder what it'll do. The answer is 12.7 seconds at 105 mph. You think, "Can I outrun that? Does my local law have anything that fast?"
If you're following this line of thought, Chuck Williams has you right where he wants you. Williams is a lieutenant in the Phoenix Police Department with 17 years experience carrying a badge. The Caprice is part of an outreach program designed to direct street racers and other octane junkies to the racetrack, where the need for speed can be satisfied in a safe, legal manner. Williams is a life-long gearhead from a family full of big-block Chevrolet enthusiasts. He has a number of high-performance Chevys and is currently building a '57 with an LS motor.
Years ago Williams got involved in the PPD's Racing for Education program, which campaigned an '89 Caprice police cruiser. That Caprice was trailered to and from the track; Williams felt that the outreach efforts of the program would be better served by a car that could take to the streets as well, so he secured permission to grab an old, used-up patrol car that was destined to be auctioned. Disaster struck on the way home from the auction yard, though. Williams noticed drivers around him waving and pointing, trying to get his attention. He turned around to find the back seat on fire-the prisoner partition had shielded him from the smoke and flame, but it had also allowed the fire to burn unnoticed long enough to ignite the headliner and spread into the trunk.
"The muffler was very plugged up-that's why the car was sent to the yard in the first place," Williams said about the cause of the fire. "But no one told me that!" The fire was extinguished, but suddenly Williams could see a larger-than-expected project ahead of him. He had no choice but to forge ahead-"the next alternative was a Ford Interceptor, and I didn't want a Crown Vic!" he said.
Once the car was back on the road, Williams began bringing it to street racing busts. "We find out about the races both through confidential informants and through MySpace, Facebook, and other online sources," Williams says. Usually the racers gather when prompted by group messages sent to mobile devices, typically about 30 minutes before the meet-up time.
After the bust occurs and while cars are being towed, the racers are being booked, and parents are being called, Williams says he will bring the Caprice in and spend a few minutes with the racers. "I tell them that if they want to meet me at the track, I will race any and all of them," Williams said. "I want to spread the positive message that [going to the track] is the safe way to go racing, and I try to guilt them into coming out."
This strategy of taking his message straight to young street racers seems to be working, according to Williams. "They'll say, 'I remember you, and I'm out here because of what you said.' I know I'm having an effect because I see videos of me racing them on their forums and on YouTube. They may not be saying positive things about me, but they're talking and they're posting, so I know I'm getting through."
The car stands out even in the midst of a police bust, in part because its old-school paint scheme contrasts with the all-white-with-decals scheme of the PPD's regular cruisers. But it's what's under the hood that really sets this car apart. After Williams flogged the car's original LT1 until it died, he sought out the assistance of General Motors in looking for a replacement engine. Years earlier GM had given the police department a 502ci crate motor for the '89 Caprice.

Wednesday media watch [11.12.13 AM]: Westwood backed
Birmingham Mail: Chris Herd has been backed to fill Ron Vlaar's boots at the heart of Villa's defence during the captain's injury-enforced spell on the sidelines. Herd came in from the cold for his first competitive appearance in more than 11 months in Sunday's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Birmingham Mail: Ashley Westwood has received words of encouragement from Stiliyan Petrov, who has been there, done it and worn the Villa shirt when it comes to being an unsung midfield hero. Petrov admits that much of Westwood's "dirty work" for Paul Lambert's claret and blues can go unnoticed as he adds security in a holding role in front of the defence.
Goal.com: Stiliyan Petrov believes Ashley Westwood is Aston Villa's unsung hero and insists the midfielder's influence should not be underestimated. Westwood has started 13 of Villa's 15 Premier League games so far in his second Premier League season following a move from Crewe Alexandra last summer.
Best Of The Rest
BBC Sport: Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini seemed not to realise his team were one goal away from claiming top spot in Champions League Group D during their 3-2 win over Bayern Munich.

Pia Toscano's debut single 'This Time' - what do you think?
Pia Toscano's early exit from "American Idol" was quite the shocking moment of the season, but one listen to "This Time," her debut single, and we think Pia is going to be just fine. We love how current she sounds, which was sometimes an issue on the show.
According to Ryan Seacrest's website, the song is collaboration with Ester Dean, who has written such hits as "S&M," "Rude Boy" and "What's My Name" for Rihanna and also Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass."
Pia recently signed a recording contract with Interscope Records, which is headed up by "Idol" mentor Jimmy Iovine. Her as-of-yet untitled debut album is due out later this year.
"I feel like I'm in really good hands," says Pia. "The most important thing for me is feeling safe with my team. I think they have a good vision for me and where my career is going to go."
Catch Pia and all the Season 10 Idols on tour this summer. What do you think of the single?

Prep football: Immokalee looking to avenge previous losses to Highlanders in 5A regional final
Lake Wales has had Immokalee's number during the regular season the past two years, but when the Highlanders (8-4) travel to the Indians' turf tonight for a 5A regional final, they will be facing a different team.
"We are a much different team than Week 4," Indians head coach Jerrod Ackley said. "We are playing much faster and more physical on defense. On offense, our offensive line play has improved dramatically. Our special teams have eliminated the mistakes that plagued us much of the season. We have been practicing much better the past five weeks, and the results have shown on the field."
And barring a freak thunderstorm, this will be a totally different game than the quagmire of that previous meeting.
"We played the first game against Lake Wales in a monsoon. Their grass field had standing water covering much of the surface. The rain all but eliminated our passing game," Ackley said. "That being said, we still had an advantage in nearly every statistical category. The one that mattered the most — turnovers — cost us the game."
The Indians, still reeling from their emotional defeat against Naples two weeks prior and a postgame incident that brought negative national attention, lost that game 19-14. Heavy rains made conditions tough, and the game play sloppy. Turnovers plagued the Indians and muddy conditions limited the team to just 130 total yards rushing in a game played almost exclusively on the ground.
"The weather was a major issue the last time we played. It was bad," Immokalee senior center Kerby Henry said. "We had nine fumbles during that wet game."
Last season, the Highlanders accounted for Immokalee's lone loss of the regular season — a 20-7 defeat in which Lake Wales used its considerable size advantage to push around the Indians.
"We've been shooting ourselves in the foot a lot against Lake Wales. Too many mistakes and it shows on film," Henry said.
Although Ackley downplays the thought, the desire for revenge for those two losses is definitely a factor heading into this game, even more so for Henry, who dislocated his elbow the last time these two teams met. It was one of several major injuries the Indians (9-3) have had to deal with this season.
"I believe this is going to be a dogfight and a very emotional game for me because this is the same team that almost ended my high school football career and possibly college career," Henry said. "My teammates and I knew what happened the first time we met in this season and we want to avenge that loss."
With no rain in the forecast for Friday, the Indians will look to capitalize on their considerable speed advantage — something that was affected by the wet conditions in their previous meeting — which will be even more considerable with the returns of running backs Jacky Marcellus and D'Ernest Johnson, who practiced fully this week after missing time due to injury and could be big contributors for Immokalee.
The Indians will also have a fully healthy Tshumbi Johnson at quarterback again. The senior has been nearly unstoppable this postseason since returning from a shoulder injury, accounting for 510 yards and five touchdowns in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
"We have what it takes to win this game," Henry said. "We just need to put the pieces together."
Lake Wales isn't likely to go down without a fight as it has proved with wins against Southeast and Palmetto by a combined total of just six points in the first two rounds of the playoffs. Those wins came courtesy of a bludgeoning ground game that marches downfield behind an offensive line featuring behemoth seniors Bobby Leath (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) and Deshaun Dunn (5-10, 270), and sophomore Luke Heirs (6-3, 265). Behind that line, the Highlanders have three running backs with over 50 carries this year — sophomore Justin Henderson (795 yards), senior Tony Reeves (572 yards) and bruising 6-0, 230-pound senior fullback Jonte Sargeant (7 TDs). Quarterback Railond Garrett (62 yards vs. Southeast) is also a threat to run at any point.
"Against a veer offense you cannot focus on particular players," Ackley said. "We have to maintain our gap responsibility and play assignment football. To win, our defense must be disciplined."
The Highlanders, however, do have a tendency to lose their heads in crucial situations, as evidenced by the 33 fumbles they have committed this year. Should the Indians be able to stay focused and limit their own mental mistakes, they could move on to next week's game at the winner of the Glades Central-Miami Jackson matchup.
"After our last game against Lake Wales, we did not feel that the better team won that night," Ackley added. "We want to prove that we are a better team."

BofA Agrees to $16B in Penalties for Bad RMBS—the Biggest Settlement in American History
Bank of America has agreed to pay over $16.6 billion to end federal and state probes into its mortgage bond sales, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced in Washington, D.C. this morning. The fine—which takes the form of penalties as well as consumer relief—is the largest civil settlement with a single entity in American history.
While other banks have paid hefty sums to settle similar claims (Citigroup paid $7 billion and J.P. Morgan $13 billion), the punishment is by far the most severe meted out by the government for behavior pre-2008. Read More

I bought mine after a recommendation by a contributor to the rec.aviation groups and I am very impressed and consider them to be great value for money - plus they picked up the shipping to Canada because I bought two.
I don't have anything to do with them other than being a very happy customer.
Re: 172 ashtrays
Thanks!! The lighted ashtray replacement looks great.
I will definitly order one, OR would you suggest two for the
forward cabin area of my 172? ( ie How bright would one be,
for the right seater position?)
Also I'm still looking for a vendor for the rear ashtray set.
(The longer, drop in chrome style w /lid )
Thanks again!!!
Re: 172 ashtrays
Hi Jim
I was going to buy one, and I phoned them and asked whether people usually bought one or two. They told me that people who bought one often came back for a second one, and that If I wanted two they would pickup all of the shipping - which was quite generous on such a low-priced item as they were shipping to Canada, so I bought the two.
I'm glad that I did. They make great courtesy lights but because they are designed to illuminate all around instead of being projected forward, they don't give sufficient concentrated light to illuminate all of the instrument panel sufficiently to use standalone (i.e. it fades off with one as you look across the panel.
The all around illumination, which they say is great for chart-reading, is in my opinion their weak point, as the units themselves look too bright to me when I am flying at night as they are not shielded from my direct vision. I have bought some smoked plexi and will be putting a piece behind them so that they will illuminate the instrument panel without being distracting. That being said, they are still a great product, and they look very good installed - clean and neat, and they are great after shutdown when I'm packing up headphones/gps etc.

Standing on the corner of the 21st century and the Gospel with the Rev. Evan M. Dolive

Review: "The Rapture Exposed: The Message of Hope in the Book of Revelation"
One of the most talked about and polarizing texts in all of the canon of Scripture is the book of Revelation. This book has been the subject of fiery debates, discussions, theological stances, studies and TV programs on TBN. At first glance the book of Revelation doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the New […] [Read More]

Inside the game: Complete games not enough at this point
Greg Manusky's best day as Chargers defensive coordinator included having his front seven in line to smell out and squash almost every draw, shovel and sweep the Bills tried to run.
The Chargers converted a third-quarter fake punt into a first down that snatched back momentum and helped them to a touchdown.
Rivers was hardly touched and threw three touchdown passes, Ryan Mathews ran 20 times for 114 yards and Antonio Gates caught seven passes for 68 yards and two touchdowns as the Chargers offense reached 30 points for the second straight week.
"I mean it's nice to be playing good football," running back Mike Tolbert said. "I wish we could have six, seven, eight weeks ago, could have been playing this type of football, but you know, everything happens for a reason so we're going to keep it going."
Whether that results in a run to the postseason, what should concern you more — you know who you are — is that team President Dean Spanos is seeing a team that hasn't given up. Those who have talked to him on the subject recently know he is impressed by the fight he has seen in the Chargers, a signal to him that the team has not given up on Turner.
Could an undefeated run the rest of the way, even to a second straight playoff-less finish, be enough to save the head coach's job? Not likely, say those familiar with Spanos' thinking, but enough of a sliver of a chance of hope that it's worth mentioning, if only to add intrigue at this point.
Even so, winning out will be no easy thing, even for a team that is suddenly playing like it was supposed to all along. The Chargers host Baltimore (10-3) before playing at Detroit (8-5) and Oakland (7-6). And that's what they'll focus on.
"It's all we can do," Turner said. "Unfortunately, we've gotten ourselves in this situation."

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
Complete Weekly Release in PDF Format
Northridge Closes Out 2009 Regular Season with Match-Up against 49ers
With a spot in the Big West Tournament assured, The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (9-9, 5-2 BWC) closes out its 2009 regular season with a home contest against Long Beach State on Nov. 1 at 2:30 p.m. The match will represent the final regular season appearances for CSUN's three seniors: Sydney Vermillion, Kelley Ross and Niki Connolly.
The Matadors clinched their first Big West Tournament appearance with a 1-0 victory over UC Irvine. Sophomore Heidi Farran scored her third goal of the season in the 51st minute, blasting a one-time cross from junior Jasmine Pratt. Junior Farryn Townley also picked up an assist on the play and the Matadors recorded their fourth-straight shutout in league play.
In net, freshman Cynthia Jacobo has yet to allow a goal in her 414:17 of action, helping to set a new school record. Since removing her redshirt prior to the UC Davis contest on Oct. 11, Jacobo has made 17 saves while sporting a 1.000 save percentage and 0.00 goals-against-average.
Sunday brings Long Beach State to Matador Soccer Field. The 49ers, an NCAA Tournament team one year ago, is mathematically eliminated from the Big West Tournament and enters the week with a 5-9-3 overall record and a 1-4-1 mark in conference play. LBSU also plays UC Irvine, another Big West Tournament hopeful, earlier in the week.
On offense, Shawna Gordon leads the team with five goals, five assists and 15 points. Lindsay Bullock has added four goals and Nicole Hubbard has scored three during the 2009 season. In net, Emily Kingsborough and Nicoline Jorgensen have split time, with Kingsborough sporting a 1.33 GAA and .725 save percentage and Jorgensen owning a 1.53 GAA and .756 save percentage.
In the all-time series between the schools, LBSU owns a 6-4-1 advantage, having taken the last three meetings. Last year, at LBSU's senior day, the 49ers posted a 5-0 victory. CSUN's last win against Long Beach State was a 1-0 victory at Matador Soccer Field on Oct. 2, 2005.
CSUN's Senior Sendoff
The match against Long Beach State will be the final regular season home game for the program's three seniors: Kelley Ross, Sydney Vermillion and Niki Connolly. As a class, the three have combined for three goals and five assists in the 2009 season. Both Ross and Vermillion have also played their way into the Northridge record books, as they enter the contest with 72 and 74 career appearances, respectively, good for the fourth and second-most in school history.
Things Will Be Great When You're DownTown-ley
Junior Farryn Townley added her first assist of the season to her eight goals, picking up a helper on Heidi Farran's game-winning strike against UC Irvine. For the season, Townley has a team-high eight goals, one off the school record, and a conference-best five game-winning goals. She has scored against four league opponents and now has 14 goals in her career, the fifth-most in school history. Among league players, she ranks tied for second in goals and fifth in points (16). Her 28 career points is now tied for eighth in school history with Shannon DeVos and Tryna Tafoya. Also, her 17 points in 2009 is the fifth-most in school history for a single-season.
Jacobo & Myers
Freshman Cynthia Jacobo recorded her fourth-straight shutout over a league opponent in the 1-0 victory over UC Irvine. Since removing her redshirt against UC Davis on Oct. 11, Jacobo has played 414:17 of perfect goalkeeping, setting a new school record in the process. Against the Anteaters she had two saves to raise her season total to 17. She also played the first half and recorded four saves in the 1-0 loss to UC Davis.
We Interrupt This Jets-Raiders Game
Sophomore Heidi Farran scored her first game-winning goal of the 2009 campaign and her career in the 51st minute in the 1-0 victory over UC Irvine. In her second full season with the Matadors, Farran is tied for second with her three goals and seven points. She has scored twice against Big West Conference opponents, including a penalty kick agaisnt Cal Poly. She is third on the team with 22 shots for the year.
It Was All a Dream
It has not taken senior Niki Connolly much time to get acclimated to Northridge soccer team. In the match at Cal State Fullerton, Connolly collected a loose ball in the Titans' 18 and blasted it into the open net to give CSUN the 1-0 victory at Titan Stadium, the program's first ever. She now is tied for second on the team with her three goals and seven points. She is also second on the team with 26 shots and has two game-winning goals. A transfer from UNLV, Connolly had nine goals and seven assists for the Rebels in three seasons.
If I had a Ver-Million Dollars
Senior Sydney Vermillion collected her second assist of the season on Farryn Townley's game-winning goal at UC Riverside. A mainstay on the Matador defense in all four seasons of her career, Vermillion has appeared in all 18 matches thus far in 2009 and has played in 74 matches for her career, the second-most in school history. She is on pace to pass Rachel Gillis (2003-07) for the most career appearances in school history since the Matadors have qualified for their first Big West Tournament since 2004.
Russ to the Rescue
Redshirt freshman Katie Russ played an unexpected role in the Matadors' 3-2 victory over Cal Poly. After injuries knocked out CSUN's top two goalkeepers, Russ left her center back position and assumed the duties in net. In the process, she earned the victory for the Matadors, playing the final 28 minutes and allowing only one goal. Russ has started 17 games for Northridge in her first official season with the team.
Cardenas Transfers talent to CSUN
Junior Desiree Cardenas recorded a three-point game in the win over Cal Poly, heading home her second goal of the season and picking up the game-winning assist on Farryn Townley's goal. Cardenas now has six points (2 G, 2A) on the season, good for the third-most on the team.
Sonia's Story
Junior Sonia Espitia added another point to her already career-high five against Cal Poly, looping in a corner kick that Desiree Cardenas headed home for the second goal of the match. The assist was Espitia's second of the season, tying her for the team lead, and giving her a career-high six points on the year. She now has four career assists.
I Got It at Ross
Senior Kelley Ross is tied for the team lead with her two assists. One of three seniors on the CSUN roster, Ross has started 17 games for Northridge in 2009 and is a team captain. For her career, she has two goals and three assists for seven points. Ross has appeared in 72 matches and made 46 starts.
Updating Matadors in Season Openers
The Matadors are now 8-6-1 in their 15 season-opening contests after the 3-0 loss to San Diego. The loss also dropped their all-time road opener record to a 7-7-1. With the 3-0 victory over LMU, CSUN now owns a 7-6-2 record all time in home openers.

Randy Edsall: 'People counted us down and out'
Randy Edsall reacts to the Terps becoming bowl eligible
COLLEGE PARK—Saturday presented a crossroads for Maryland head coach Randy Edsall and his football team.
With pressure, frustration, and displeasure mounting following three straight failures to attain bowl eligibility, the outcome of Saturday's game against Virginia Tech would either assure Maryland a bowl invitation or sending them tumbling into more uncertainty about whether that win would ever come.
But surrounded by a crowd of more than 66,000 cheering against them, they got it done, a 27-24 overtime win over the Hokies at Lane Stadium.
Now the pressure is diffused—not gone, but certainly much reduced—as Maryland prepares for Boston College on Saturday in College Park.
[RELATED: Was Saturday's win over Virginia Tech the biggest of Edsall's tenure?]
"A lot of people counted us down and out and didn't think we could get another win the rest of the year," Edsall said on Tuesday. "I think sometimes that's a tough hurdle to get over, to get over the 'woe is me' attitude and 'Why us?' or 'How did this happen again?'"
Injuries, for the second season in a row, appeared poised to derail a promising early start, but Edsall says the mindset has changed.
"Now they know that, hey, regardless of who we have available, we can go win games if we do it the right way."
The sixth win on Saturday marks the first time Edsall has won a game at Maryland after Oct. 13 of a calendar year and the first time he and the Terrapins have become bowl eligible during his tenure.
As Maryland begins its stretch run and tries to improve its bowl position, the words "antsy" and "anxious" have been dropped from their collective vocabulary and replaced with words that are markedly more positive.
"I think it was a huge win for us," quarterback C.J. Brown said Tuesday. "After the game, it was kind of a tipping point. The season could go either way and I was glad the way it did."
[RELATED: Analysis of Saturday's overtime win over Virginia Tech]
Remaining on the team's schedule are Boston College on Saturday and a road game against NC State the following week, with a mathematical chance to finish 8-4 after what seemed like such a bleak picture less than one week ago.
But in Edsall's uncharacteristically joyful outburst following Saturday's win was the escape of a good deal of pressure that was riding on this team's success, though Edsall had a more comical explanation.
"I didn't really do much during the day. I just felt I needed to get some exercise, you know, at the end," Edsall joked. "Sometimes I show my emotions in different ways and I was just very happy for our kids."
Maryland-Boston College kicks off at 3:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on Comcast SportsNet.

Tales from the Hill: Authors share experience of working in D.C. in first novel
September 21, 2012 at 7:00 pm in Worthington Daily Globe
"Capitol Hell" is a fictionalized account of a female Senate staffer working in our nation's capital. But how much of the book is based on actual experiences?
Only authors Jayne Jones and Alicia Long and maybe a few of their former colleagues know for sure.
Jayne, a Minnesota native, and Alicia, who hails from Hartford, S.D., just outside of Sioux Falls, first crossed paths while working on Sen. Norm Coleman's campaign in 2002. Continue Reading

The Netherlands' acquisition of six Boeing CH-47F Chinook transport helicopters has encountered a six-month delay, with its first aircraft now scheduled for delivery in the last quarter of next year. All should be delivered by mid-2011, with the slippage having been attributed to software problems.
Three aircraft will be operated in the Netherlands, with the remainder to initially be stationed in the USA for training purposes.
Meanwhile, two programmes to expand the Royal Netherlands Air Force's fixed-wing transport fleet have also suffered fresh delays.
An airworthiness certificate has still yet to be secured for a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 being acquired for air transport tasks, after software problems were identified during flight testing.
To join two KDC-10 tankers now in Dutch service, the aircraft had already been delayed until mid-2009, but will now be available in the first half of 2010 in a cargo-only configuration. Work will be conducted next year to investigate the possibility of expanding its role to also carry passengers.
Flight management system software issues and engine mounting problems have also pushed back the planned receipt of two modified ex-US Navy Lockheed Martin C-130Hs until the first quarter of 2010.
The air force's current two C-130Hs will then undergo the same modernisation programme by the UK's Marshall Aerospace.
