Evan Rachel Wood Attacked by Miley Cyrus Fans Over "Gay" Haircut Joke
Poor Miley Cyrus.
All she wanted to do was cut a few inches of hair and enjoy her new pixie cut. Instead, she's inspired endless debates, analysis on what her haircut "means," and now, a celebrity Twitter attack.
Eccentric (and recently engaged) starlet Evan Rachel Wood reportedly tweeted, "I called it! Miley Cyrus is leaning toward gay," after seeing Miley's new 'do, according to The Huffington Post. (Evan has since deleted the tweet.)
Evan, who is openly bisexual, must not have realized how jokes on Twitter sound to Miley's millions of fans. The 24-year-old former True Blood star got so much backlash from Miley fanatics that she decided to write a series of apologetic tweets yesterday (August 23).
"I myself am bisexual and have always 'joked' about miley giving me gay vibes. Not a bad thing! Just an observation," she wrote. And, "So i 'joked' when she cut her hair that it supported my case. But, i am not so close minded or into stereotypes or labeling. It was a joke."
Miley, for her part, is unfazed by the insinuation. She replied on Twitter to say "Well said!" then "Let's be friends" and "Follow me." Evan accepted the invitation, writing, "Now @Mileycyrus and i are friends. Let this be a lesson to all of you ;)"
We guess the lesson is not to underestimate the power of Disney fans to defend their stars!

Danish Competition Authority Recommends ODF and OOXML
The Danish Competition Authority has conducted a market analysis of office software so as to give governmental agencies recommendations for public purchases. The results are a definite "live and let live" between the competing standards ODF and OOXML.
Commissioned by the Danish government, the authority studied the office software market -- word processing, spreadsheets and presentation software in particular -- during March 2009. The goal was to provide governmental agencies some referral as to which of the current documentation standards should get purchasing priority, the free Open Document Format (ODF) or Microsoft-based Office Open XML (OOXML). The authority decided that it could not currently make a recommendation either way, but rather purchasing should consider either one or the other format, but be aware that the software should accept both text formats.
The deputy director general of the authority, Agnete Gersing, based this recommendation on the finding that, "At present, it will not improve competition to choose only one of the standards." Gersing continued, "Choosing OOXML will currently exclude all other suppliers but Microsoft, while, by choosing ODF, competition will unfold between the very same office suites as in a situation where both standards are chosen." Gersing opines that while the standards are relatively new, it's unpredictable which way the market will turn: "If only one of the standards is chosen and this standard does not turn out to become a market standard, there is a risk of substantial investment mistakes." Going with just ODF, Gersing reasons, "will not ensure the necessary interoperability between the office suites." Another recent study by the Fraunhofer Institute, with some help from Microsoft, had come to a similar conclusion.
Not surprising is the study's recognition that Microsoft Office runs on about 90% of Danish computers, as the official presentation of the authority revealed. The authority also discovered that most hardware vendors pre-installed their systems with Microsoft packages. The authors of the study added that MS Office 2007 SP2 was not rated yet. Microsoft had vowed to improve its compatibility with ODF with just this release, results of which unfortunately turned out to be debatable.
The Danish Competition Authority published its results of the office software market survey in a 157-page PDF document, available free on their website (in Danish).
ISO 29500 or ECMA 376?I certainly hope they say only ISO 29500 OOXML is acceptable.

Full text not available from this repository.
The branches in Polysphondylium pallidum whorls are arranged in a radial pattern. We have used a pattern-specific monoclonal antibody to study branch formation and characterize the origin of this pattern. A quantitative spatial analysis of antibody staining reveals that the branching pattern arises from a random distribution. This distribution passes through a series of intermediate stages to yield a radial prepattern. The origins and evolution of this prepattern are satisfactorily accounted for by models that produce spatial patterns by short-range autocatalytic and longer-range inhibitory forces.

What is in a name? What makes a name offensive? There has been much ado made over the years of Washington's football team name "Redskins." Over the past several months this topic has picked up speed comparable only to a pack of cheetahs chasing a Roadrunner.
In the Reader's Digest book, "Americas Fascinating Indian Heritage," it says the name Redskin is "inspired not by their natural complexion but by their fondness for vermilion makeup, concocted from fat mixed with berry juice and minerals that provided the desired color. The men would streak their faces and bodies with bright red ocher and bloodroot."
With this definition you could make the case that the Redskins on field play is more offensive than the team's name.
However, since the name Redskins does not insensitively refer to the color of one's skin, but to the war paint that covers one's skin, I feel that if we still feel the name is offensive we should take a closer look at other team names throughout the National Football League (NFL).
• Minnesota Vikings: Vikings famously raided the seas and are claimed to have raped and pillaged villages before burning them down to the ground. The name is offensive and should be changed.
• New England Patriots: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell desperately wants to expand the brand of American football to England. However, a rebel alliance known as "Patriots" defected from the ruler of England. To them this name is offensive and needs to be changed.
• Chicago Bears: Bears have been known to eat people. Plus, two bears around Jellystone park have been known to steal picnic baskets. This name is offensive and needs to be changed.
• Dallas Cowboys: Cowboys used to kill Native Americans. That's not very nice. This name is offensive and needs to be changed. Speaking of which....
• Kansas City Chiefs: The name "Chiefs" pays homage to the Native American Chief. Oh wait, as we learned with the name "Redskins" this is offensive and needs to be changed.
• Oakland Raiders: Raiders are pirates. Pirates raid the seas. See Vikings, above.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers: See Raiders then see Vikings, above.
• San Francisco 49ers: Named for the people who left their homes and families and traveled to San Fran for the possibility of riches during the Gold Rush of 1849. I bet the families left abandoned would find the name offensive, so it needs to be changed.
• New York Giants: This could be considered insensitive to short people. Change? Yup!
• Green Bay Packers: Cheese is high in Cholesterol. High Cholesterol is bad for you. This name is offensive and should be changed.
• Detroit Lions: Lions, Tigers, and Bears.... Oh my! See Bears. Also do the same for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals, and Carolina Panthers.
• Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, and Philadelphia Eagles: All are birds of prey. If you are prey then you would find this offensive, so it should be changed.
• Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens are not named after the bird, but for the poem made famous by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe met his demise in part from years of alcohol abuse. Not really a great role model. Offensive. Change it..

Gloves (not necessary, but help prevent splinters)
Clamps (ratcheting bar clamps are best)
I think the gloves come very handy when it comes to moving other things about the house too. I'm pretty sure a good pair will give you a good grip on most of the things lying around the house!
Putting clamps on movable flat surfaces is applicable not only to large boards but also flattened boxes or even paintings (but just make sure that the paintings are protected). With clamps, moving can be a breeze. I know that there are various types of clamps available to make moving flat bulky items easier and more manageable. Thus, it is always good to find out the various clamp models before buying.

Castor: Kagan confirmation would be historic
Kate Bradshaw
WMNF Drive-Time News Wednesday | Listen to this entire show:
Today, the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan are continuing through the early evening. The former Solicitor General gave calculated answers to loaded questions from Republican members of the Senate Judicial Committee. On Tuesday WMNF spoke to US Representative Kathy Castor, who said she thinks Kagan is doing well, and that Kaganâs approval would be a historic moment.
"As a former head of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers, it's a proud moment for all those hard working women lawyers, and you know women now outnumber men in law school. It's time to be on par or begin working our way there on the highest court in the land. But it seems like the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are making an important case for the activism of the Roberts' Court. Especially if they continue to come down on the side of corporate America time and time again, standing up for corporations that really have carried all of the political influence. This is an unfortunate legacy, another one that President Busch has left us with. So it's very important that we, that Elena Kegan take her seat on the Supreme Court as soon as possible."
Representative Castor also said sheâs optimistic that the committee will approve Kaganâs nomination.comments powered by Disqus

Bones Season 7 Finale Glossary: Your Guide to the Complex Terms in "The Past In The Present"
We love Bones with every fiber of our being (clavicle and maxilla included), but do you ever scratch your head in confusion as Brennan (Emily Deschanel) rattles off a bunch of big words at her fellow geeks? Join the club. Lucky for you, we rounded up terminology from Season 7 Finale, Episode 13, "The Past In The Present" so you can improve your squintern skills!
GPS: That thing you bought your middle aged dad for his birthday and he still doesn't know how to use.
Auricular Surface: Another term for the articulated surface of the ilium, or pelvis. [Insert Booth (David Boreanaz) crotch joke here.]
Piophilidae: A type of maggot or fly that lives in cheese. Great, now we'll never be able to look at Stilton the same way again.
Trochlea: Part of the victim's humorous, or funny bone. LOL! (Get it? Lol? We went there.)
Premolar: The teeth between your canines and molars. In other words, the ones that don't become fangs if you turn into a vampire. We find everything makes more sense with vampire examples.
Demon Baby: According to Brennan's crazy friend, this has a one word definition: Christine.
Mosquito Forceps: Small forceps used in surgery to hold delicate tissue among other things.
"Other things" being the key term on Bones.
Tubocurarine: A skeletal muscle relaxant found in the victim's body, which made a pack of wolves think he was dead. The compound is derived from the South American plant chondrodendron tomentosum, which Brennan had been working with just weeks before the murder. That Pellant really is an evil genius!

In a move that could trigger further protests, high-end national retailer Wellness Warehouse has indicated that it will continue selling controversial Ahava products allegedly manufactured by Israel occupied territories.
The products, made by Israel-based Ahava Cosmetics were allegedly labeled to appear as though they were made in Israel yet activists claim that they were being made the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
The past weekend saw a group of Pro-Palestine human rights activists protest outside the retailer's store on Kloof Street in Cape Town resulting in the products being temporarily removed from the shelves by the manager on duty.
The protesters, comprising University of Cape Town Palestinian Solidarity Forum (UCT PSF) and Open Shahuda Street (OSS), were under the impression the removal of the products was permanent, but yesterday the store said in a statement they had put them back on the shelves as the move was temporary and designed to reduce conflict with protestors.
On behalf of the retailer's director Sean Gomes, Sue Parker-Smith of Catalyst Communications claimed that on Saturday the protesters had disrupted the display of the products, confronted staff and the store management.
At the time, she said the on-duty store manager was unable to reach Gomes and could only call the operations manager.
"As he was unfamiliar with the matter, the operations manager instructed the on-duty store manager to remove the products in order to avoid any further conflict, until he could investigate further," she said.
When the protestors left the store, she said the store manager contacted "a Wellness director" who then instructed that the products be put back on the shelf.
"Wellness Warehouse lists products based on natural ingredients, health benefits, consumer demand and sales and not on political criteria." Wellness Warehouse is apolitical and relies on the South African government to deal with such sensitive, complex and controversial political issues.
"As retailers, we adhere to the laws of the South African government, including the rules and regulations governed by the Department of Trade and Industry.
"We urge the various lobbyist groups concerned with this matter to direct their efforts and agendas through the appropriate government channels," she said.
Influential activist Zackie Achmat, who is a committee member of OSS, on Monday said if the products were returned on the shelves, they would resume their call for protest.
UCT PSF spokesman Bruce Baigrie who on Monday was cautious about their victory, echoed the same sentiments. He said putting the products back on the shelves would be a huge disappointment for them.
Achmat said that for over two years they have been trying to talk Wellness Warehouse into respecting the international call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel due to its alleged oppression of the Palestinian people.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, mediaweek.co.uk, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 10:38AM
It has struck a partnership with Mobile Interactive Group (MIG) to integrate its social payments voting platform Engage into the Zeebox app, which currently enables TV viewers to interact and chat via Facebook and Twitter, access TV programme information, and buy what they see on screen.
Users will be able to make payments using the technology to cast votes on reality TV shows. No deals have yet been struck with any broadcasters to use the voting system .
The technology behind the voting platform is similar to that used by MIG to create a Facebook voting app, which was used last year by Channel 5's 'Big Brother'.
Zeebox launched in the UK last year. In January this year, Sky signed a deal reportedly worth $15m (£9.8m) that included the pay-TV company taking a 10% stake in Zeebox, taking on ad sales via Sky Media, and giving Sky the rights to incorporate Zeebox's IP into its own apps.

I think you were trying to go too fast too soon. you kinda have to work up to it. just run at a medium pace and try taking a breath in every 2 steps in through your mouth, out through your nose. it's hard to get used to it and the first couple times you'll really want some more air but it does get easier. when you run long distances, you don't go fast. you have to pace yourself. the best runner in my state goes pretty slow at practice so don't try to sprint the mile. don't give up! <3

Yes it is normal to stop a few times. Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. That helps you and also, pace yourself don't start off sprinting unless you have to. Well, I hope that helped!

Its normal to stop a few times while running the mile. But I don't think stopping 8 times is normal. I normally stop a maximum 2-3 times. You should run more. You can make it a part of your daily routine or do it every other day. The more you run, the more you will get used to it and the less you will have to stop.

Everyone needs to stop from time to time. However if you are in good shape and you do need to stop often, you may have asthma. This was the case for me before I got my inhalers. You should go to the doctors and get it checked out just in case. It wont hurt you if you dont, but if it is asthma then the inhalers will stop this and enable you to run longer distances.
Good luck

answered Wednesday June 7 2006, 7:15 pm:
Just take a few breaks to start with. Like, whenever you need just start walking, and when you feel re-energized run again. And it is DEFINITELY normal to have to stop. What you can do to be able to run long distances without stopping is to practice. Time yourself to see how long you can go without having to stop, and push yourself but pace yourself as well. If you keep doing this everyday for a few weeks, you'll see the numbers go up as you'll be able to hold out/run longer without having to stop. Good luck! And if you need anything else drop one in my inbox.

Global Warming on the menu in Tallahassee
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
Global warming and climate change were on the agenda today at the invitation of CFO Alex Sink and Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Bronson.
The pair of Cabinet officers kicked off a series of four "Conversations on Climate Change" to explore the subject and its consequences for the Sunshine State. It followed this morning's meeting of the Florida Cabinet , and includes a panel of national experts to give an overview on climate change, its potential impact on Florida, as well details on changing sea levels, and hurricane risk.
Jerry Karnas directs the Global Warming Campaign in the Southeast for the World Wildlife Federation. He attended today's meeting in Tallahassee. (roll tape#1 o.q."
On this issue")
Certainly, the issue is important to Governor Charlie Crist, who referred to it during his State of the State Address last month, and again on Monday when speaking to WMNF's Rob Lorei (roll tape#2 o.q. "and it's good for Florida")
During the discussion, Attorney General Bill McCollum, while saying that he wasn't speaking about his own beliefs per se, did refer to the claims of skeptics of global warming. Again, the World Wildlife Federation's Jerry Karnas (roll tape#3 o.q."of last year")
In Tallahassee, Crist repeated a comment he made during his taping of a television interview to be broadcast Thursday night on WEDU about using solar power (roll tape#4 o.q.""to lead by example")
There will be 3 more Conversations on Climate Change taking place this year. The one in September will be open for the public. The location is not yet known.comments powered by Disqus

I will vote for the Delphos school-funding issue May 4. Why is this important? Because I have never nor will I ever vote to increase or maintain property taxes through new or renewal efforts by schools or any other type of organizations. Always remember, a no vote to a property tax renewal equals less taxes. I cannot in good conscience require senior citizens and/or disabled property owners to pay for anything not being paid by all users or potential users.
Before anyone thinks I am being selfish, I have only owned taxable property for the last 10 years. I turned 21 in 1969 and voted for the next 30 years against property taxes even though it would not save me even a dime. It could very well have cost me a great deal of money through other types of taxes.
I will never vote for property taxes even if I would receive benefits from their being collected. The minority few being required to pay for the majority (who pay little or nothing) is just plain wrong on any level. Anyone can donate time or money to any cause or organization he believes is worth supporting. I have several organizations and causes that I donate to as often as my finances allow me to do so.
The fairest way to pay for schools, groups and organizations is through a sales tax. The next fairest is the income tax.
In closing, let me please restate. I will be voting for this school tax.

Members of the Internal Security Forces.
BEIRUT: The Internal Security Forces Saturday said qualifications rather than nepotism governs its recruitment process, asking people who were victim of what it described as 'violators' to come forward.
"After the ISF announced it was recruiting for the ranks of male sergeants and police officers, many people took advantage of some families' pressing needs to have their sons be chosen," the statement said.
"Some have promised to recruit people in exchange for money or benefits."
The ISF stressed that its recruitment process "follows certain conditions, standards and most of all, qualifications."
" Anyone who commits such a violation will be prosecuted."
The ISF asked people who were victims of such frauds to come forward and report scammers.

Sure, but if you want to disable them remotely, you have ton include a radio receiver. To disable the disable switch, I just have to damage/remove the receiver or its antenna so you can't get your signal to my weapon.
Conversely, if you DO make the disable switch both remote and password-based, all I have to do is set up radio transmitters that try every possible password. Will I get every one? Not likely. Will I be able to cause enough of them to fail that countries stop buying them? Probably.

Leeds is a hotbed of creativity and culture. Nestled in the north of England, this bustling city has come a long way since its early industrial days.
With a vibrant student community and young creatives looking for places other than London to make a living these days, Leeds has certainly benefited and is fast becoming a major European destination for Brits and tourists alike.
With this sort of reputation inevitably come the spoils. A fantastic shopping scene will please even the fussiest of fashionistas, while the city's music and arts movements are some of the best and brightest in the country. But it's the food that is the real show stopper here. From tiny family-run restaurants to swanky bistros and street food galore, Leeds has something for everyone, whatever your tastes. Why not book one of our hotels in Leeds, make a weekend of it and try out one, or all of these fantastic gastronomic delights!
- Breakfast at Bagel Nash
A chain that actually started in Leeds, Bagel Nash is a small but perfectly formed eatery that offers, unsurprisingly, the best bagels in town.
Amazingly light and so delicious, you'll want more than one. The bagels here aren't like the pre-packaged ones you get in the supermarkets. Keep it simple with cream cheese, add some luxury with some smoked salmon or go for many of the punters' favourite, the hot salt beef.
At a mere £5 for a bagel and drink (plus there's some great frozen yoghurt) it's the perfect place to start your foodie tour of Leeds!
2. Lunch at Art's Cafe
By lunchtime your bagel will have finally gone down and you'll be starting to feel a bit peckish. Luckily, if your idea of the perfect lunch is sandwiches as big as doorstops, beefy salads and home made fare, then Art's Café should be right up your street.
Try the chorizo and potato salad, or the huge ploughmans, but really, whatever you choose, you'll be satisfied (well until dinner that is!)
3. Dinner at Red Chilli
In the UK, Chinese food can be hit and miss, but that's usually because we're used to our local greasy takeaway, go to any proper Chinese restaurant and you're in for a treat. The story is no different in Leeds; Red Chilli is some of the best Chinese food you're likely to have ever tried.
A massive restaurant with excellent service, try any one of the set menus (helpfully named things such as 'first date') or try the house speciality of stir fry shredded pork with, of course, red chilli.
So now we've whet your appetite, what are you waiting for? Get one of our Leeds hotels booked and loosen that belt a few notches, because you're going to need it after all that eating!

Fall is the time when overwintering pests begin making plans to survive the cold — and PMPs should start planning their control strategies.
Editor's Note: This article was adapted from Techletter, a biweekly publication from Pinto & Associates, Mechanicsville, Md. To subscribe, visit www.techletter.com, or call 301/884-3020.
You know about occasional invaders — those outside perimeter pests like earwigs, pillbugs, millipedes and crickets — that occasionally find their way inside. There's a subset of occasional invaders that can be called fall invaders. These are the pests that enter buildings in the fall as the weather cools, with the intent of finding a sheltered place to spend the winter.
Some of our most problematic overwintering fall invaders are the Asian lady beetle, brown marmorated stink bug, boxelder bug, elm leaf beetle, cluster fly and paper wasps.
These are also the pests that pest control companies get calls about in the spring when the intruders have suddenly reappeared indoors and are trying to sneak back outside. Unfortunately, the time to control those overwintering pests was the previous fall — it's important for you and your customer to take steps this year before the pests begin to migrate indoors. So, we're giving you plenty of advance warning. Now is the time to schedule those fall perimeter treatments and pest-proofing jobs.
Control Options. When fall invaders get inside, some of them will die fairly soon due to the drier indoor air. Others, though, will end up in the attic, behind baseboards, in wall voids, behind drapes (some of these pests can damage or stain fabrics)...almost anywhere. Because their hiding places are so scattered and so hidden, fall invaders are notoriously difficult to control once they are inside. In the spring, as the days get warmer (or sometimes on warm days during the winter), these pests become active again. They'll leave their hiding places in large numbers, trying to find a way back outside. They're often attracted to light coming from a window, or they may be seen crawling along baseboards or up walls.
An outside perimeter or barrier treatment is usually a pest control company's first line of defense against fall invaders. The big selling point is that a perimeter treatment keeps the pests from getting inside in the first place so indoor control is not an issue. Plus, a perimeter treatment means no insecticide inside the home. Timing is critical. Treat too soon and the residual may be gone by the time the pests migrate. Too late, and they may have already begun their move inside. Schedule the treatment so that the residual lasts up to the first hard frost.
For those fall invaders that are plant feeders (elm leaf beetle, boxelder bug, stink bug), treating their host plants, or at least the trunks of trees, in late season can eliminate many potential migrators (be aware, though, that some states require a different license or certification category for this treatment).
Pestproofing. Along with a perimeter treatment, sealing openings that pests use to enter provides double protection against fall invaders. Pestproofing is usually the responsibility of the customer, but many companies offer this service as well.
Some pestproofing tips:
Perimeter Cleanup. When fall invaders are looking for a place to spend the winter, they are attracted to anything that provides shelter and moisture. When they find these conditions around a building's perimeter, they are more likely to accumulate there and may eventually find their way inside.
To reduce the number of fall invaders around a foundation, your customer needs to keep the area dry and free of thick plants and shrubs and other pest hiding places. Getting your customer to take these steps first will make your perimeter treatment much easier:

The ongoing coverup concerning the secret Able Danger operation provides further evidence that the "war on terror" is a farce.
There was nothing in outward appearance to draw attention to the four-bedroom apartment at 54 Marienstrasse. Nonetheless, the attention of the intelligence services of Germany, the U.S., Israel, and other Middle Eastern and European countries had been drawn to the nondescript flat in Hamburg, Germany, as early as 1998. That was when Mohammed Atta signed the lease and he and Ramzi bin al Shibh moved in. Soon thereafter, it was identified by intelligence agencies as a target of interest. It became known as the hub of al-Qaeda's "Hamburg Cell."
Over the next two and a half years, dozens of al-Qaeda operatives, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the reputed 9/11 "mastermind," passed through the 54 Marienstrasse apartment. Twenty-nine al-Qaeda recruits from the Middle East or Northern Africa listed it as their registered address. Mohammed Atta would later be labeled, after the fact, as the "ringleader" of the 9/11 terrorists who hijacked four jetliners to use as missiles against targets in New York City and Washington, D.C. Atta is believed to have been the suicide pilot who flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the north tower of the World Trade Center. His Hamburg roommate, Ramzi bin al Shibh, captured in Pakistan in 2002, has been described by U.S. officials as the al-Qaeda "coordinator and paymaster" for 9/11. In the months leading up to the terrorist attacks of… Continue reading

Sep 3, 2005:
Mohamed Atta and three other alleged ringleaders of the 9/11 hijacking team were under surveillance by an elite US military intelligence program in the summer of 2000, a New York Times story of Aug. 9, 2005 revealed.
Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) broke the story to the Times after officers with knowledge of the Able Danger program contacted him. Two officers have since gone on record to say they once had Mohamed Atta in their sights. They claim a recommendation to round up Atta and what they termed his "Brooklyn Cell" (!) was rejected in the fall of 2000 by commanders at MacDill Air Force Base, supposedly on the advice of Defense Department lawyers. As of Sept. 2, the Pentagon says three additional people with knowledge of Able Danger have corroborated the story.
This dossier by Nicholas Levis rounds up Able Danger news reports to date, as well as analyses by various authors. The views expressed herein are the writers' own and do not necessarily reflect those of 911Truth.org.

A US military intelligence team code-named "Able Danger" identified Mohamed Atta and three other alleged 9/11 hijackers as potential terrorists in the summer of 2000, at a time when Atta was living in Florida, according to yesterday's New York Times .
But the Times story obscures at least as much as it reveals.
The 9/11 Commission was made aware of the Able Danger program in 2003, but failed to mention it in its 2004 report.
The Times calls yesterday's revelation "the first assertion that Mr. Atta… was identified by any American government agency as a potential threat before the Sept. 11 attacks." In fact, such assertions date back to German press reports of September 2001 and October 2002, when several German newspapers reported that the CIA had Atta under observation during the first six months of 2000, while he was still living in Germany.
According to the German reports of Sept. 2001, the CIA in 2000 watched as Atta "bought chemicals" in Frankfurt and later tracked him to Berlin, where he received an entry visa from the US consulate in May 2000.
(According to official US timelines of his activities, Atta entered the United States for the first time in June 2000, although witness accounts reported in local papers after 9/11 place him in Florida months earlier.)
The CIA did not inform German authorities about its surveillance of Atta on their soil in 2000, and the Germans learned about it only after the 9/11/01 attacks. The German authorities themselves also… Continue reading

The 18-year-old has seen his first-team chances limited following his recovery from a leg fracture earlier this season and is eager to get some valuable game time under his belt at Plainmoor.
He told Swindon's official website: "I'm pleased to have the opportunity to get some first-team football. It's been hard for me to get back in the team here since my injury so I'm hoping to get down there and do well, then come back here after the month and start challenging for a place again."

When Phenomic's SpellForce 2: Shadow Wars came out earlier this year, it won accolades for its mix of real-time strategy and action role-playing, as well as a huge single-player campaign. Gamers who made it all the way through that campaign and wanted more are about to get it, as Austrian publisher JoWood Productions today announced that it will release an expansion pack to the game, Dragon Storm, "in winter 2006."
While JoWood didn't give many details about Dragon Storm, it did set up part of the story. Players will fight for control of a series of magic portals between "the shattered islands of Eo." Along the way, they will discover relics of powerful dragons of the past. Dragons presumably wind up in the game's present as well, as JoWood promised to let players experience a war waged by dragons.
A representative for Aspyr, the North American publisher of SpellForce 2, declined to comment when asked if it would be bringing Dragon Storm to domestic gamers.

Road to Bali is a 1952 comedy film starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. It was released by Paramount Pictures and is the sixth of the seven Road to... movies. It was the only such movie filmed in color and was the first to feature surprise cameo appearances from other well-known stars of the day.
Having to leave Melbourne in a hurry to avoid various marriage proposals, two song-and-dance men sign on for work as divers. This takes them to an idyllic island on the way to Bali where they vie with each other for the favours of Princess Lala. The hazardous dive produces a chest of priceless jewels which arouses the less romantic interest of some shady locals.
All lyrics by Johnny Burke, and music by Jimmy Van Heusen.
Crosby's version of "To See You Is to Love You" is featured in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954) without giving credit to Crosby or the songwriters.
As with the other Road movies, Bob Hope breaks the "fourth wall" several times to make side comments to the audience, e.g. "He's (Crosby) gonna sing, folks. Now's the time to go out and get the popcorn."
Because the film is in the public domain, there have been at least a dozen DVD releases from a variety of companies over the years.

Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ckerr19 Adorable and comfy These shoes are absolutely adorable and very comfy for all you spring and summer wear needs. I wear a 6 1/2 in most shoes and ordered the 36 and they fit perfect. Couldn't be happier! They are a little pricey but good quality and I have had wonderful luck over the years with Free Peoples shoes. 4.5.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by queenofthehill Great go-to sandal! Sturdy, and the straps aren't flimsy. I wanted these in the chestnut, but my usual size 39 wasn't available, and nor was it available in the black. And, really, the distressed black can act as a stand-in for a brown sandal. So I took a chance on the 38 in black since another reviewer who claimed to always wear an 8.5 was satisfied with the 39. I wear an 8.5 85% of the time. Otherwise, I wear an 8. As I expected, these just work, with my toes coming right to the edge. If I walk a little, they go over but not terribly. Since the sandal fits perfectly everywhere else, I wonder if the 39, though long enough, would have been a tad loose. And you can expect a shoe like this to stretch over time, at least a little. So, if you're like I and have a thin, narrow foot and can sometimes wear a half-size smaller, and get really grumpy when your usual size isn't available and hasn't been restocked, take a chance. The worst thing that can happen is that you'll have to send them back. 2.20.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPchristinamarie cute, comfy, and soft! these are my favorite sandals to date. They wear well, and I walk around NYC with them all the time. Even though there is not much cushion, they still have a soft interior and feel like well-worn shoes the minute you put them on. I find it hard to find shoes that don't take a good week or so to break in, ESPECIALLY sandals! Get them! You won't regret it! I get compliments on them daily. 7.8.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by misterbeefwellin ehhh These sandals are very comfortable and true to size. But, they sort of felt like Jesus sandals. If this is what you're looking for then they're great. 5.1.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n essential i'm always a US8, but euro39 was not available so i went with euro38. when i first put them on, i felt that they just fit, with no wiggling room for the straps, and my toes right at the very edge. however, they did loosen up after wear. i've worn them walking around all day for a few days and had no issues. i find the footbed to be quite comfortable. i got the black distressed and the color is very versatile. 8.13.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by _Rachel_ Great casual sandal.. These are very cute comfy sandals, I wear 7 and 37 was perfect fit. 5.20.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by SkoAi Very comfortable I ordered the same size, 37, in both colors because I could not decide which one I liked best. When they arrived the brown ones fit like a size 7 but the black ones fit more like a 6.5. I ended up keeping the brown ones since the color difference was not that significant. They look almost identical under certain lighting. I would recommend sizing up if u are in between sizes. The bands also stretch a little bit after you wear them. 5.8.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nycjen You won't regret this purchase I had been thinking about buying these since last summer. I purchased them for my vacation to Miami because I was looking for something comfortable that can also look somewhat dressy when I walk into a nice bar or restaurant. My boyfriend- who rarely expresses genuine thoughts about what I wear- was complimenting them the moment I tried them on! I did get blisters on the back of my left ankle (oddly, my right was fine) during my trip. Still happy anyway!! I know they will adjust to my feet. Really glad I came around to these 2.26.2014

Game #26 Vs. Maple Leafs - Start of the Home Swing
Travis Hrubeniuk
March 12 2013 11:44AM
The Jets return home tonight after a rather disappointing road trip that saw them go 2-1-1, and end up sitting practically in the same place in the standings as they did when they left. Now the Jets are in a position where getting points against a feisty Leafs team is critical.
Jets Special Teams Woes: PK
Kevin McCartney
March 11 2013 05:38PM
The Jets have been struggling to stay on the playoff bubble in the East all year. A 3-game win streak to end February gave way to two decisive losses to divisional opponents, and the recent road trip collected 5 of a possible (and expected) 8 points against also-rans and the struggling Devils. Sure, there have been some injuries, particularly to the team's best two defencemen in Byfuglien and Enstrom. Goaltending has been... well, that's another article. But the Jets special teams has let fans down more nights than not. The mere fact that I can write a multi-part series on the Jets woes at special teams is disheartening. Might as well start with the good news. That's right, the Penalty Kill is the good news. Good gravy...
Game #25 at Devils: Streaking?
Kevin McCartney
March 10 2013 02:45PM
New Jersey Devils (11-9-5) vs.
Your Winnipeg Jets (12-11-1)
Last Meeting February 28th, Jets 3, Devils 1
Game at 6pm on TSN-Jets and TSN 1290-Winnipeg
The Jets might be the most fortunate team in the NHL in March. No one can help what division they play in, but this is the Jets first game against a team with a winning record so far this month and it comes when New Jersey has gone 2-6-2 in their last ten games, collecting just three points in the 8 games since Brodeur was injured. Hedberg will be in net for his 9th straight start today and his 3rd of the season against the Jets. The Jets have a chance to make it three in a row against Moose, and three in a row on the calendar as well.
The Jets Midseason Review
Travis Hrubeniuk
March 09 2013 06:57PM
The Winnipeg Jets have officially hit the halfway point. Twenty four games deep and the boys are very much still in the playoff race. Holding a 12-11-1 record the Jets are currently sitting in 9th in the Eastern Conference, a single point back of the Rangers for 8th, and two points behind the division leading Carolina Hurricanes. It hasn't always been pretty, but the team has set themselves up for an end of the year push that could potentially see them make the playoffs.
This article will review each of the major positions (forwards, defensemen, and goaltending) as to their performance and roles thus far this season, as well as cover some major points on the team, and give a look forward to the second half of the year.
Game #24 At Panthers: Redemption
Travis Hrubeniuk
March 08 2013 01:53PM
Redemption time. After what could easily be considered the worst/most pathetic/most disappointing Jets outing all season a mere three days ago, the boys have a chance tonight to show not only the Panthers, but themselves that the debacle Tuesday night was nothing more than a fluke.

Payton Memorial Guestbook Entry
Robert Payton was, and continues to be, a great influence in my work and my life in many ways. My fondest memories of him were when he was one of our professors for the PhD seminar Ethical, Moral, and Religious Aspects of Philanthropy, and also when he invited all of the PhD students to his home for dinner. I not only learned a lot from him but he was very encouraging and inspirational. He once told me that he thought I would be entrepreneurial in my approach to philanthropy and at the time I didn't know what that was going to be. Now I have decided to dedicate my documentary on philanthropy to him. Without his efforts to establish the Center on Philanthropy, the PhD program, his teaching and mentoring, his book Understanding Philanthropy, which I proudly have a signed copy of, and more I wouldn't be where I am today. The fact that he is continuing to influence my teaching and study of philanthropy is a testimony to the importance and magnitude of his work and his life. The other evening in a graduate course I teach on the history and ethics of philanthropy and the nonprofit sector, we discussed the opening chapter in Understanding Philanthropy. One of my students asked if he still thought that philanthropy was a "tradition in jeapordy." I delicately explained that he recently passed on but reminded her and the class that he would probably have enjoyed our discussion and encouraged us to help preserve that tradition. I am forever grateful to him.

Men's haircut and hairstyles spring-summer 2013
Brutality or sloppy chic? Light clutter or short "Hedgehog"? In this season in a variety of men's haircut and hairstyles - it all depends on your imagination and creativity to your stylist!
Courage and self-confidence
Haircut "box" is a classic hairstyle that never goes out of fashion. Hairstyle with neatly shaved temples does not require special care – hair enough to wash and dry. It is universal – "box" and "poluboks" looks great with both business suit and with style "casual".
These hairstyles emphasize the brutality and militant sexuality of their owner. Shaved temples will adjust "moonlike" and square face detracts from facial wrinkles under the eyes and the lips.
This hairstyle can be given the desired shape with strong hold gel or varnish. If you want some variety, ask the master on his head shaved geometric pattern – similar patterns attract the attention of the opposite sex. Fashionable today combination – short "hedgehog" and bangs medium length.
Hello from the UK and Canada
Modern dandy prefer such men's haircut as "Briton" and "Canadian." In essence, the two kinds of one half-length hair.
"The British," is running on medium-length hair thinning scissors. Canadian haircut involves shaving the hair on his head.
Stacked like hairstyle is quite simple. However, for such hair needs regular maintenance as they get dirty very quickly and start to look untidy. For installation , you can use wax, gel or mousse.
Best to style your hair immediately after washing – wet strands better accept and absorb styling products.
Special style – "Briton" in curly hair.
If the hair is not curled naturally, use a diffuser or styler. Frizz each section for 10-20 seconds. The finished hairstyles disassemble your fingers into small strands and fix varnish.
In retro hairstyles
The hair of medium length look great retro hairstyles.
Ideal "sleek" strands laid parted in the middle, luxuriant hair of varying length, cutting-bullying "rvanki" – all these hairstyles will undoubtedly daily take up your time on installation.
Smooth hair combed parted in the middle, require texturing wax and comb with a few teeth. Distribute on wet strands pea styling products. Dry hair while combing it.
If your hair pushatsya replace texturing tool serum or spray for straightening. Choose sprays labeled «alcohol-free» – alcohol dries your hair and causes the appearance of dandruff.
"Rvanki" shows men with a round face. Stack "ragged" cut a lot easier. Use mousse and fingers can create a mess on the head light for 2-3 minutes.
To raise the hair on the back of the head, use a round brush and a means of basal volume.
Prefer a formal style of dress? Your choice-men's haircut "bean".
Have to adjust it at least once a month. With this hairstyle, you can hide the big ears and the folds of fat around the neck.
If you – romantic nature, Diversify "bean" long, straight bangs, falling to the eye.
But is such a young men's haircut, as with mature members of the stronger sex, it can play a cruel joke – to emphasize the existing lines.
And look at the 40-year old man she will be at least strange.
If you want to reduce the time spent on care and styling to a minimum, choose a multi-cut. Ideal solution for you – the men's haircut "on 0″. Besides, bald men, most women are associated with the sport and a healthy lifestyle

IT ALL happened so quickly. During the small hours of a cold Canadian night, the voltage of Quebec's power grid began to fluctuate alarmingly. Seconds later, the lights went out across the entire province. Some 6 million people were without electricity for nine hours. Within two days, NASA had lost track of some of its spacecraft and the northern lights were glowing in the sky south of London. These events, which took place in mid-March 1989, had the same cause - a monumental storm the fiercest for 30 years.
But this was no terrestrial storm. It was a geomagnetic storm whipped up by the Sun, which occasionally throws out bursts of high-energy particles and clouds of ionised gas, or plasma.
The particles can damage and confuse satellites, while the plasma buffets the Earth's magnetic field and makes it shudder. As a result, electric currents surge around the upper atmosphere wreaking ...

SD Sheriff's Dept.: Sightings of James DiMaggio car in Oregon unfounded
Amber Alert issued in Ore., Wash. and Nevada
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego County Sheriff's Department said two reported sightings in Oregon of a car related to an Amber Alert issued for two missing local children is not valid.
Late Wednesday afternoon, an Amber Alert was activated in Oregon after state authorities received a report that a blue 2013 Nissan Versa (Calif. license plate 6WCU986) possibly driven by James Lee DiMaggio was seen near the Oregon border. Another sighting was later reported in the southern part of the state near the town of Lakeview. An Amber Alert was also issued in Washington and Nevada.
San Diego County sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said the Oregon sightings and other reported sightings throughout the day proved to be invalid. He told 10News as of late Wednesday afternoon there are still no solid leads in the search.
Officials with the Oregon State Police told 10News they will pursue any leads until they can confirm the car is not in Oregon.
DiMaggio, 40, is believed to be on the run with 16-year-old Hannah Anderson, of Lakeside, and, possibly, her 8-year-old brother Ethan, according to San Diego sheriff's officials. Investigators suspect, however, that the boy may have been one of those killed last weekend on DiMaggio's rural property off Old Highway 80 in Boulevard.
Firefighters discovered the bodies of 44-year-old Christina Anderson, a longtime friend of DiMaggio's, and the body of a child in the rubble of the suspect's burned-out Ross Avenue home shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday. The whereabouts of Ethan and Hannah have been unknown since.
The remains of the younger victim likely will remain unidentified pending completion of DNA comparisons, a process that could take several days, Giannantonio said.
"An autopsy was conducted on the second body found in the house. The remains are consistent with an 8-year-old child, which was Ethan's age. We will be trying to get DNA from the remains and will be comparing the DNA profile with Ethan's parents to see if there is a match," said Giannantonio said. "The body was burned so badly we may not get a match, but we are optimistic."
On Tuesday evening, the father of the missing children addressed the suspect, formerly a close friend, through the news media.
"Jim, I can't fathom what you were thinking," Brett Anderson said in front of sheriff's headquarters in Kearny Mesa. "The damage is done. I'm begging you to let my daughter go. You've taken everything else."
He also directed a few urgent comments to his absent daughter.
"Hannah, we all love you very much," he said. "If you have a chance, you take it. You run. You'll be found."
A statewide Amber Alert was issued Monday evening. Authorities believe DiMaggio may have headed to either Texas or Canada.
The suspect is 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 150 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. Hannah is 5-foot-7 and 115 pounds, with blond hair, blue eyes, a navel ring, nose stud and pierced ears. Ethan was described as 4-foot-11 and 65 pounds, with sandy blond hair.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspect or the missing children was asked to call the sheriff's department at 858-565-5200.

Lee Skinny Jeans Packaging
Filed in Advertising, All entries
' With the Lee Skinny campaign generating a mad rush at all Lee stores, we decided to take it one step further. Lee wanted to be the brand for skinny jeans. So we created a packaging design that matched the season's hottest trend – skinny. Needless to say, the packaging received just as many compliments as the ladies wearing the jeans themselves. In no time, people were spotted with skinny bags; everybody knew what they had just purchased and from where. The packaging also added to the visual merchandising of Lee stores. ' Link here.
