Last week's announcement that the terrorist threat warning level has been raised in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. has led to dramatic and unprecedented restrictions on the movements of citizens. Americans wishing to visit the U.S. Capitol must, for example, pass through several checkpoints and submit to police inspection of their cars and persons.
Many Americans support the new security measures because they claim to feel safer when the government issues terror alerts and fills the streets with militarized police forces. As one tourist interviewed this week said, "It makes me feel comfortable to know that everything is being checked." It is ironic that tourists coming to Washington to celebrate the freedoms embodied in the Declaration of Independence are so eager to give up those freedoms with no questions asked.
Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens' lives. This doesn't stop governments, including our own, from seeking more control over and intrusion into our lives. As one Member of Congress stated to the press last week, "people who don't want to be searched don't need to come on Capitol grounds." What an insult! The Capitol belongs… Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C.–The unsettling story of whistleblower Sibel Edmonds took another twist on Thursday, as the government continued its seemingly endless machinations to shut her up. The U.S. Court of Appeals here denied pleas to open the former FBI translator's First Amendment case to the public, a day after taking the extraordinary step of ordering a secret hearing.
Edmonds was hired after 9-11 to help the woefully staffed FBI's translation department with documents and wiretaps in such languages as Farsi and Turkish. She soon cried foul, saying the agency's was far from acceptable and perhaps even dangerous to national security. She was fired in 2002.
Ever since, the government has been trying to silence her, even classifying an interview she did with 60 Minutes. Oral arguments in her suit against the federal government were scheduled for this morning, but yesterday the clerk of the appeals court unexpectedly and suddenly announced the hearing would be closed. Only attorneys and Edmonds were allowed in.
No one thought the three-judge appeals court panel would be especially sympathetic to the Edmonds case. It consists of Douglas Ginsburg, who was once nominated for the U.S. Supreme Court by President Reagan. He withdrew after it was revealed he had smoked pot as a college student; he later joined the appeals court. Another member, David Sentelle, was chair of the three-judge panel that appointed Ken Starr to be the special prosecutor investigating Clinton. Karen LeCraft Henderson was appointed a federal judge during the Reagan period, then put on the appeals court by the elder President Bush.…Continue reading

"Those of you who still think this case, my case, is about covering up some administrative blunder or bureaucratic mismanagement, please think again… What were [my] core allegations, and who did they involve… They would not go to this length to protect some nobody criminal or terrorist." – Sibel Edmonds
The Appeal Court's decision on Sibel Edmonds' Case is out: 'Case Dismissed;' no opinion cited; no reason provided. The Court's decision, issued on Friday, May 6, has generated a string of obituaries; "another major blow, maybe the last one, to Sibel Edmonds, a woman who has faced an unprecedented level of government secrecy, gag orders, and classification." Well, dear friends and supporters, Sibel Edmonds may be gagged, but she's not dead.
On October 18, 2002; three months after I filed my suit against the Department of Justice for unlawful termination of my employment caused by my reporting criminal activities committed by government officials and employees, John Ashcroft, the then Attorney General, invoked a rarely invoked privilege, the State Secrets Privilege. According to Ashcroft,everything involving my case and my allegations were considered state secrets, and whether or not I was right in my allegations, the United States District Court had to dismiss my entire case without any questions,hearings or oral argument; period. According to Ashcroft, the court had to grant his order and dismiss the entire case with no hearings solely based on the fact that he, Ashcroft, said so. After all, our government knew best.…Continue reading
August 2005: An annotated, comprehensive archive of articles on admissions that Mohamed Atta and three of the other alleged 9/11 hijacking ringleaders were under surveillance by military intelligence a year before September 2001. More proof that the 9/11 Commission was a whitewash; and why there is far more to the story than The New York Times has reported…
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.

National Security Whistleblowers Coalition
WASHINGTON — The National Security Whistleblowers Coalition applauds Al Gore for his nonpartisan speech, which very eloquently and sincerely expresses our core American values based on the notions of liberty and justice. This speech can by no means be characterized as 'Liberal' or 'Conservative', 'Democrat' or 'Republican', but only as 'Truly American.' As stated by Mr. Gore, without whistleblowers the public would never know of the many abuses of constitutional rights by the government. Whistleblowers, Truth Tellers, are responsible for the disclosure that President George W. Bush ordered unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens.
These constitutional lifeguards take their patriotic oaths to heart and soul: rather than complying with classification and secrecy orders designed to protect officials engaging in criminal conduct, whistleblowers choose to risk their livelihoods and the wrath of their agencies to get the truth out.
Today, in his specific recommendations, Mr. Gore advocated that 'new whistleblower protections should immediately be established for members of the Executive Branch who report evidence of wrongdoing — especially where it involves the abuse of Executive Branch authority in the sensitive areas of national security.' This statement is also in accord with Bob Barr's recent agreement in various media forums that national security whistleblower protection is desperately needed.
Sibel Edmonds, Founder & Director of NSWBC, stated: "We applaud the call by Liberty Coalition & Al Gore for congress to enact new legislation that would provide meaningful whistleblower protections, especially… 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

According to US Census Bureau statistics, in 2002, there were over 21 million federal, state, and local government employees in the US. These employees are in the best position to expose misconduct and abuses of power that arise in government agencies. However, the recent US Supreme Court decision effectively muzzles the nation's watchdogs.
Attorney Barry Turner, a Lecturer of Law at Leeds Law School in the UK, describes the Supreme Court's decision absurd. "Transparency is essential in any democracy and is a bulwark against corruption, which," he points out, "requires secrecy to survive."
"Any society or administration that facilitates secret deals and hides from the truth can only court corruption," he warns. "Gagging whistleblowers," he contends, "can only assist the corrupt, the criminal and the fraudster."
In a nutshell, the question before the Supreme Court was: Does a prosecutor who speaks on a matter of public concern by reporting police misconduct lose his First Amendment protection against retaliation solely because he communicated the message while performing his job?
The plaintiff in the case was Richard Ceballos, a Deputy District Attorney in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office who informed his supervisors that he believed a Deputy Sheriff had falsified an affidavit to obtain a search warrant in a criminal case.
After Ceballos relayed his findings, he followed up with a written memorandum recommending the dismissal of the case. At a hearing on a motion to challenge the search warrant, Ceballos was subpoenaed by the defense and testified about his findings regarding the affidavit.…Continue reading
June 30 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal court.
The allegation is part of a court filing adding AT&T, the nation's largest telephone company, as a defendant in a breach of privacy case filed earlier this month on behalf of Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. customers. The suit alleges that the three carriers, the NSA and President George W. Bush violated the Telecommunications Act of 1934 and the U.S. Constitution, and seeks money damages.
"The Bush Administration asserted this became necessary after 9/11," plaintiff's lawyer Carl Mayer said in a telephone interview. "This undermines that assertion."
The lawsuit is related to an alleged NSA program to record and store data on calls placed by subscribers. More than 30 suits have been filed over claims that the carriers, the three biggest U.S. telephone companies, violated the privacy rights of their customers by cooperating with the NSA in an effort to track alleged terrorists.
"The U.S. Department of Justice has stated that AT&T may neither confirm nor deny AT&T's participation in the alleged NSA program because doing so would cause `exceptionally grave harm to national security' and would violate both civil and criminal statutes," AT&T spokesman Dave Pacholczyk said in an e-mail.
U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Charles Miller and NSA spokesman Don Weber declined to comment.… Continue reading
Tax Dollars to Fund Study on Restricting Public Data
by Richard Willing
With state, church, academia and the armed forces all slamming Constitutional windows and breaking out the duct tape, wonder whether the insiders or outsiders will end up suffocating first. Just as wholesale Internet surveillance is "justified" by kiddie porn, this clampdown on FOI protections is being peddled as "critical infrastructure defense." Next time you want to know about the toxic waste your corporate neighbor is exuding, the graft that's driving our energy policies, or the environmental impact of the new nuclear plant they're planning down the street, remember you're in state secrets land now, children. You want the terrorists to win?

The federal government will pay a Texas law school $1 million to do research aimed at rolling back the amount of sensitive data available to the press and public through freedom-of-information requests.
Beginning this month, St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio will analyze recent state laws that place previously available information, such as site plans of power plants, beyond the reach of public inquiries.
Jeffrey Addicott, a professor at the law school, said he will use that research to produce a national "model statute" that state legislatures and Congress could adopt to ensure that potentially dangerous information "stays out of the hands of the bad guys."
"There's the public's right to know, but how much?" said Addicott, a former legal adviser in the Army's Special Forces.
"There's a… Continue reading
There has been a great deal of discussion about the Military Commissions Act
of 2006 [.pdf], recently passed by both houses of Congress, and most of it has
to do with the provisions allowing torture of alien detainees, that is, of non-citizens
apprehended in, say, Afghanistan or Iraq, and their treatment at the hands of their American captors. Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and John Warner,
all Republicans, grandstanded for weeks over the torture provisions, then capitulated.
Another "Republican maverick," Arlen Specter, zeroed in on the real
issue, however, when he said the bill would set us back 800 years by repealing
the habeas corpus protections against arbitrary arrest and jailings — and then went ahead and voted for it, anyway.
Liberal opposition mainly centered around the morality
— or, rather, immorality — of torture, but the debate largely ignored the ticking time-bomb at the heart of this legislation, scheduled to go off, perhaps, in tandem with some future crisis, e.g., another terrorist attack on American soil: the redefinition of the "unlawful combatant" concept that lays the foundations for this administration's reconstruction of the gulag. Here is the new, broadened definition, as enunciated in the legislation recently passed by the House:
"The term 'unlawful enemy combatant' means ñ (i) a person who has engaged in hostilities or who has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its co-belligerents who is not a lawful enemy combatant (including a person who is part of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, or associated forces); or (ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the president or the secretary of defense."
It doesn't say "alien" or "terrorist," although it specifically includes members of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.…Continue reading
Working for the Clampdown: What might the president do with his new power to declare martial law?
By James Bovard
04/25/07 "American Conservative" — – How many pipe bombs might it take to end American democracy? Far fewer than it would have taken a year ago.
The Defense Authorization Act of 2006 [Ed.: Details at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-1815], passed on Sept. 30, empowers President George W. Bush to impose martial law in the event of a terrorist "incident," if he or other federal officials perceive a shortfall of "public order," or even in response to antiwar protests that get unruly as a result of government provocations.
The media and most of Capitol Hill ignored or cheered on this grant of nearly boundless power. But now that the president's arsenal of authority is swollen and consecrated, a few voices of complaint are being heard. Even the New York Times recently condemned the new law for "making martial law easier."
It only took a few paragraphs in a $500 billion, 591-page bill to raze one of the most important limits on federal power. Congress passed the Insurrection Act in 1807 to severely restrict the president's ability to deploy the military within the United States. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 tightened these restrictions, imposing a two-year prison sentence on anyone who used the military within the U.S. without the express permission of Congress. But there is a loophole: Posse Comitatus is waived if the president invokes the Insurrection Act.
Section 1076 of the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 [Ed.: Details at www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h109-5122″] changed the name of the key provision in the statute book from "Insurrection Act" to "Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order Act." The Insurrection Act of 1807 stated that the president could deploy troops within the United States only "to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy." The new law expands the list to include "natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition"–and such "condition" is not defined or limited.…Continue reading

Whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
New Hampshire Constitution Bill of Rights, Article 10
"The message to the community is we will not tolerate acts of violence to affect public debate."
— Federal Judge Ann Aiken
With the hectoring tone of a petty hall monitor, Clinton Judge Ann Aiken let out what the Operation Backfire/Green Scare prosecutions are really about. In an era of state-sponsored terrorism as "liberation," where the United States has over 700 military bases in over 140 countries, a US judge actually deems the minor league violence of a handful of young, misguided idealists "terrorism" and scolds the larger, non-indicted community those activists came from this truly belongs to Orwell, Kafka, Cheney or Gonzales.
Just what "Community" is the judge chastising/profiling? The Eugene, Oregon community of radical environmentalists in particular, eco-activists in general and/or anyone who ever justified destroying the property of those who they viewed as oppressors. We're not even talking about those like Golda Meir or Osama bin Laden who justified not just property destruction, but attacks on the persons of their enemies. All that ever happened in the Operation Backfire cases… Continue reading

Judges Say U.S. Can't Hold Man as 'Combatant'
By ADAM LIPTAK
Background: Ali al-Marri, a citizen from Qatar, was arrested on Dec. 12, 2001 in Peoria, Ill., where he was living with his wife and five children while studying computer science at Bradley University. He was initially charged with credit card fraud and lying to federal agents. Then in 2003, he was transfered to military custody and designated an enemy combatant. Government officials contended that he was an al-Qaeda sleeper agent, sent to the United States to commit mass murder and disrupt the banking system. Mr. al-Marri denied the charges and challenged his detention. His case took on added significance when Mr. al-Marri was left as the only enemy combatant being held in mainland America.
The federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled yesterday that the president may not declare civilians in this country to be "enemy combatants" and have the military hold them indefinitely. The ruling was a stinging rejection of one of the Bush administration's central assertions about the scope of executive authority to combat terrorism.
The ruling came in the case of Ali al-Marri, a citizen of Qatar now in military custody in Charleston, S.C., who is the only person on the American mainland known to be held as an enemy combatant. The court said the administration may charge Mr. Marri with a crime, deport him or hold him as a material witness in connection with a grand jury investigation.
"But military detention of al-Marri must cease," Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the majority of a divided three-judge panel.…Continue reading

Published: 28 June 2007
The Bush administration may soon face a courtroom showdown over its secret eavesdropping programme after subpoenas were issued to the White House, Vice-President Dick Cheney, and the Justice Department.
There is a storm gathering over Mr Cheney in particular, with increasingly vocal demands for his impeachment for "political crimes against the nation".
The Senate Judiciary Committee wants to know the legal basis, if any, for the placing of wiretaps on American citizens without court warrants, as part of the war on terror.
These taps were placed by the National Security Agency, which runs a vast international electronic eavesdropping and codebreaking web with Britain's GCHQ. When reports emerged in the media of the wiretaps, it provoked widespread anger.
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy gave the Bush administration until 18 July to hand over documents which the White House described last week as highly classified and off limits.
Senator Leahy wrote: "Over the past 18 months, this committee has made no fewer than nine formal requests to the Department of Justice and to the White House, seeking information and documents about the authorisation of and legal justification for this programme."
The eavesdropping programme began after the attacks of 11 September 2001.…Continue reading
"First they came for the terrorists but I wasn't a terrorist so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those suspected of terrorism, but I certainly wasn't a suspect so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those who defended those who were suspected of terrorism, but I wasn't defending such people so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then, one day, they came and began to "suspect" me, so I stayed very, very silent and went about my business.
And that is how I lost my soul."
You can feel it in the air: many of us are living in the fear that we are one "bad event" away from this administration seizing power over the people in such a way that we will find ourselves swept up in a nightmare of tyranny such as we've never seen before.
Others before us have also lived in such times. Others before us have also witnessed the tyranny of empire, the fear it unleashes, and the trance it imposes on its population. There is a story in the Gospel of Mark (this Sunday I'll be preaching about it) that has Jesus encountering a man in a graveyard, chained to the tombs and possessed by a powerful demon that has caused the man to become violent, insane, and out of control. The name of the demon is Legion, a military term that… Continue reading

The Bush administration said Monday the constitutionality
of its warrantless electronic eavesdropping program cannot be challenged.
The government is taking that position in seeking the dismissal of federal
court lawsuits against the government and AT&T over its alleged involvement
in the once-secret surveillance program adopted after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The strategy was first recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in a McCarthy-era
lawsuit. It has been increasingly invoked in a bid to shield the government
from legal scrutiny.
Two senior Justice Department officials, speaking on condition of anonymity
in a teleconference with reporters, reiterated the administration's position
that it was invoking the so-called "state secrets privilege" in arguing
that the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals must dismiss the cases because they
threaten to expose information authorities say is essential to the nation's
"The case cannot be litigated in light of the national security interest
involved," one official said.
The officials spoke on the condition that their names would not be published
because, they said, it was the government's protocol not to comment on pending
The Bush administration has invoked the state secrets defense often, from spy
cases and patent disputes to employment discrimination litigation.
Still, two judges have ruled recently that the defense does not apply in two
lawsuits challenging Bush's surveillance program. President Bush acknowledged
in 2005 that the government was eavesdropping without warrants on communications
in the United States as long as one of the parties to… Continue reading
The Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Retroactive immunity for telecom companies who engaged in illegal spying at the behest of the NSA is at the heart of a bill currently being considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill, even before having been officially introduced, is being hotly debated by bloggers, electronic privacy groups, and civil libertarians, as well as presidential contenders (CT Senator Chris Dodd has actually posted a petition at his election website, encouraging readers to support his threatened "hold" on the bill). We should compare the issues involved here with the retroactive immunity provided CIA interrogators in the September, 2006 Military Commissions Act, who could otherwise have been accused of war crimes.
Below, we direct readers to an important series of programs from PBS' Frontline to help readers investigate the background of this issue, and a deeper consideration of some of what's at stake in continually ceding power to a rogue Executive bent on dissolving the few civil liberties which currently remain untouched.
Lest readers be swayed by the Administration's repeated argument that "9/11 makes this necessary," the Rocky Mountain News reported (emphasis added) on October 11, 2007 that this spying was underway well before 9/11/01:

The Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission has raised the alarm that scores of youth are undergoing training to cause violence during the March 4 elections.
"The commission has been visiting communities but reports indicate that the youth are not at the villages. They are not at school or at work and the suspicion is that they are undergoing training to cause havoc," said TJRC vice chair Tecla Namachanja.
She blamed politicians for misusing the youth. "We do not want politicians to use our blood as a platform to attain to the highest positions. Kenyans have shed a lot of blood. Politicians should base their campaigns on issues not divide Kenyans. The youth should say no to fighting," Namachanja said.
She said youth in Mount Elgon are undergoing training in Uganda while those in Tana River are training at Ozi Forest. "The military should be deployed at Ozi forest to deal with the illegal groups. This week, the commission will meet candidates in Mt Elgon to find a solution to the problem," said Namachanja.
She was speaking to the press at Kenyatta Caves in Wundanyi during a ceremony to honour Silvia Manga Mwakio and Mengo Woresha who played a significant role in the struggle for independence.
Mwakio and Woresha hid freedom fighters in the Kino Cave (Kenyatta Cave) to avoid arrest by the colonial government. Namachanja said Nyanza province is on the spotlight over violence.
"We are worried about Nyanza, keeping in mind what was witnessed during the nominations," she said adding that politicians should hold their supporters responsible.
Namachanja said TJRC will present its final report by May 3. She said the commission will not seek extension of its period. "Within the mandate, the commission has come up with recommendations and guidelines on how implementation of the report will be done by the government," she said.

"The entire process was just amazing! The design team worked with me from beginning to end and helped me customize it 100% to my wedding. The color was absolutely perfect, and the quality was amazing."
"The programs for our wedding turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to have! The customizable colours and fonts allowed us to have programs that matched our invitations. The Wedding Paper Divas online help and designers were very helpful and adjusted the design as we requested. The delivery was even a week earlier than projected!"
"I was able to personalise the card and the team were very helpful. The delivery was fast and reliable. Product is gorgeous! LOVE IT and would use again and recommend!"
"The fuchsia was a beautiful bright color. It gave a joyous feeling to the ceremony. It would be a lot better if the programs could be printed by Paper Divas. Using the same method as on other stationary. I do not understand why it is not done that way. It is unnecessarily cumbersome."
"Not only did this product ship fast, but they look very nice! I placed the order for these programs(boldly elegant design) on September 30th. The next day, October 1st, I received the photo proof in my email of what the programs would look like after I designed them. I saw something I didn't like, so I fixed the proof and sent back my revisions. Within an hour, I got the revised order of the proof back from WPD and went ahead and finalized my order for shipment. WPD gave me an estimated delivery date of October 10th through the 14th. Well, on the afternoon of October 5th, I received a package from Fed Ex with a box that read "wedding paper divas". I couldn't believe how fast everything came and how great the quality is. Thanks WPD!"


text: when collar tied up with your opponent is it better to have space between yourselves or move in and plant your head on the shoulder? been watching videos today and some people are saying to get close because your stronger in close as opposed to being apart so you cant be controlled,jostled, snapped down etc.. then others say to create a space so you can shrug off and drop down for legs. is it a case of knowing and acknowledging who is the stronger in the tie up and reacting accordingly?...which position do you other wrestlers prefer?

UTSA opens Sculpture and Ceramics Graduate Studio on Main Campus
(April 16, 2012) -- UTSA President Ricardo Romo joined Department of Art and Art History faculty members and graduate students on Thursday, March 29 to celebrate the opening of the new Sculpture and Ceramics Graduate Studio on the Main Campus.
The 13,000-square-foot building on the west side of the UTSA Main Campus incorporates 18 graduate studios split evenly among graduate ceramics and sculpture students. Additional studios feature workspace areas for 3-D design, welding fabrication, glazing and covered outdoor forging.
Funding for the new building came to the forefront three-and-a-half years ago when $3.5 million was allocated for construction, along with $200,000 for new equipment.
The facility will assist the department with recruiting efforts to attract more students from across the United States and abroad.
"We are pulling in an international student body in both the undergraduate and graduate programs," said Gregory Elliot, professor and chair of the Department of Art and Art History. "We have had students enrolled in our programs from England, Germany, Korea, Japan, Africa and other countries."
The department includes 539 majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Each semester, between 2,300 and 2,600 students enroll in its art courses.
The UTSA Department of Art and Art History offers bachelor's and master's degrees in studio art and art history. Students can study in the areas of painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, art history, ceramics, sculpture and new media. Class sizes range between 15 and 30 students.
In 2008, U.S. News and World Report ranked the UTSA sculpture program No. 13 in the nation among 250 schools offering similar programs.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I have two servers -- let's call them Trinity and Neo. They both have
Apache 2.0.44 and Perl 5.8.0 running. Both of them have mod_perl
installed. But Neo executes Perl cgi scripts just fine, while Trinity
only shows the source code for the Perl scripts.
I have gone nuts trying to find a difference between the two servers; I
even copied the httpd.conf file down from Neo to Trinity, making only
those changes necessary to reflect that it's on a different server --
changing the ServerName field, and so on.
I've gone through to make sure the permissions are set properly on
Trinity, to make sure Perl actually works, and I've successfully run the
cgi script from the command line.
The only thing I can think of is that when I started Apache on Trinity, I
got a few errors, because some of the modules that are loaded via the
LoadModule directive on Neo are built in to Apache on Trinity so they
don't need to be loaded. Once I commented out the offending LoadModule
lines in httpd.conf on Trinity, the errors stopped, but the cgi scripts
still weren't executing. Trinity is the server I killed a few weeks ago
by running "rm -rf /*" as root and which I've rebuilt from scratch to
mirror Neo as much as possible. Neo's been around for a few months
longer, and the fellow who built that server is no longer around.
Is there anything else I could be looking at? There are no error logs
that show anything is happening.

The Supreme Court ruled that the law making the sale of animals being tortured violates the right to free speech.
An 8-to-1 ruling this week making the federal law that bans the sale of animal-cruelty videos was a victory for Robert Stevens who was sentenced to three years in prison in 2005 for creating and distributing videos of dog fights, according to the BBC.
The law established in 1999 was supposed to deter depictions of animal cruelty and aimed at limiting internet sales of "crush" videos that show women crushing small animals with their hih-heeled soes, according to the BBC.
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., affirmed the essentialness of freedom of expression, even during societal condemnation. NY Times editor commented saying "It was gratifying that the court recognized that the right way to protect animals from abuse is through laws aimed at the abuse itself, not at free expression."
Justice Samuel Alito, who dissented, said the cruelty to the animals was enough to continue the law. Alito said animal cruelty videos should not be protected by the constitution, but treated like child pornography, according to Reuters.

The Supreme Court ruled that the law making the sale of animals being tortured violates the right to free speech.
Barack Obama has sternly come back at critics on Thursday who said Obama's space plan will end the nation's human spaceflight program.
Obama addressed about 200 attendees at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, telling them of his new "revitalized" space agency plan, according to the NY Times.
"By 2025 we expect new spacecraft designed for long journeys to allow us to begin the first ever crew missions beyond the moon into deep space," he said.
"So, we'll start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history. By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to earth, and a landing on Mars will follow," Aljazeera reported Obama saying.
Obama argued the space program, flying astronauts to space, would be better served by funding private companies rather than continuing government support for the program.
Obama said the U.S. cannot continue doing the same old things as before.
"In short, 50 years after the creation of NASA, our goal is no longer just a destination to reach. Our goal is the capacity for people to work and learn, operate and live safely beyond the Earth for extended periods of time, ultimately in ways that are more sustainable and even indefinite," the Times reported.
Obama said the agency would begin developing a heavy-lift rocket by 2015 and slowly push the boundaries of where people can travel and live.
Obama promised $40 billion to help maintain workers at the Kennedy Space Center who would lose their jobs after space shuttles are retired, according to the Times.
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del.-- Easter Sunday, the bodies of two Marinesl who were killed the previous week in Afghanistan were carried off the C-17 aircraft and into the sight of their waiting families.
Two mothers, a widow and a band of kin watched from the tarmac as the bodies of Sgt. Frank J. World, 25, of Buffalo and Lance Cpl. Tyler O. Griffen, 19, of Voluntown, Conn., were loaded into a large van, according to the NY Times.
Marines in camouflage fatigues and white gloves saluted the Marines one final time that dark morning and marched in formation behind the van as it drove slowly to the base mortuary.
In the last year, 462 service members, with nearly 2,000 relatives have gone through Dover.
"You're kind of numb, and getting up that early in the morning, you're even umber," Sgt. World's mother said. Sgt. World left behind a wife, Beth World, a 3-year-old son and a 2-month-old daughter he was due to meet in two months, according to the Post Gazette.
In January, Dover opened the Center for Families of the Fallen, aplace where parents, spouses, children, siblings and other relatives can gather before they are taken to the flight line. Dover officials want a meditiation center, where relatives can pray or be alone.
Troops are supposed to start withdrawing from Afghanistan July 2011, but the 30,000 extra troops Barack Obama ordered to the country are still due there this summer.
New Jersey officials announced on Saturday two adults and three juveniles were charged with gang-raping a 7-year-old after her 15-year-old stepsister sold her at a party.
The 15-year-old whose name has not been released went to a party on the 13th floor of the Rowan Towers, according to KDKA, and her younger sister tagged along.
The teen sold sex to men in the room and allowed them to touch the younger girl, which turned into sex by force.
Gregory Leary, 20, of Trenton, was arrested on Thursday, according to the NY Times, and charged with raping the teen.
Tiemear Lewis, 19, of Trenton, was also charged in the case, officials said.
The Mercer County prosecutor, Joseph Bocchini Jr., said his office will likely try at least one of the three juveniles charged, ages 17, 14 and 13, in adult court, according to the Times.
The 15-year-old is accused of having sex for money and accepting cash to let the men touch the 7-year-old; that touching led to the 7-year-old being raped at least seven times, according to KDKA.
Doug Palmer, the Mayor, said he met with the victim and her family on Thursday at his office to offer help and to make sure they were safely moved out of the neighborhood out of safety concerns.
Palmer said the 7-year-old told him "Everybody is staring at me. They know it's me," a quote pulled from the Times.
President Barack Obama signed his milestone healthcare bill into law at a White House ceremony on Tuesday.
"We have just now enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care," Obama said, a quote pulled from the NY Times.
The new bill will allow approximately 32 million uninsured Americans healthcare.
Republicans oppose the bill on the basis that it is too costly, the BBC reported; however, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would reduce the federal deficit by $138 billion in over a decade.
The fight is not over yet. Republicans said they vow to repeal the bill in the Senate, and reconciliation is a way for lawmakers to add changes in a federal policy set by Congress but has a limit of 20 hours for debate.
NY Times quoted John Boehner, the Republican leader, who said Tuesday was no day to celebrate. "President Obama is abandoning our founding principle that government governs best when it governs closest to the people."
Democrats still have to convince Americans of the healthcare benefits of the bill, according to the Times.
Three armed robbers are still at large after they broke into a California home on Wednesday and threatened the parents of a 7-year-old who immediately called for help.
The 7-year-old, identified only as Carlos, locked himself and his sister in the bathroom and called the police, according to the BBC.
Monique Patino, the 911 dispatcher on the other end of the call, heard Carlos' say,
"There's some guys they're going to kill my mom and dad. Can you come please? Bring some cops, a lot of them. Can you come really fast? Hurry up."
"I felt the fear from the phone," Patino said at a police press conference, and she made the decision that even if it was a prank call she was going to send the police.
"Only a little bit," Carlos said when asked if he was afraid, the Hindu news reported
Female Marines at Camp Pendleton, Calif., will be sent to Helmand Province next month in an attempt to win over the hearts and minds of Afghan women, according to the NY Times.
The Marines have spent time in "cultural awareness" classes, coached on the do's and don'ts of dealing with the Afghan villagers:
Do not approach Afghan women and fire off questions. As an ice breaker, play with the children and do not let the interpreter dominate the conversation, the instructor told the women.
Next month the first-ever "female engagement teams" will go with men on Helmand Province patrols and meet women in their homes, figure out their need for aid and gain intelligence.
These women are not naïve about the dangers ahead, reported the Times, half of them have been overseas.
"We all know that what you expect is not usually what it's going to end up being," Sgt. Melissa Hernandez, 35, said, a quote pulled from the Times.
Women are not allowed in ground combat, their training prepares them for worst-case scenarios--attacks and ambushes, reported Signonsandiego.
"And one more thing: 'If you have a pony tail,' said Marina Kielpinski, the instructor, 'let it go out the back of your helmet so people can see you're a woman.'"
With snow blowing in horizontally, a model posed, naked, in a gallery window in Greenwich Village.
Megan Hanford, 26, said she's art, and it's her right to free speech and expression to pose nude in a New York gallery's window, according to the NY Post.
Police had Hanford removed on Sunday, but she is not breaking any laws, and the store manager is going to keep her in the window, naked, for the next couple weeks from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Times.
Hanford stands under a web made of shark eggs, shark teeth, beads and clay pipes. Artist Brian Reed said her nakedness is essential "so she can be fully at the center of that connectivity" of energy, a quote pulled from the Times.
Paul Browne, the department's chief spokesman, said they could not take any legal action because there was no lewd act.
A 1-year-old girl was found in Connecticut after being abducted in Swansea, Mass., Thursday afternoon by a woman with Minnesota license plates, according to WHDH.
Jaylin Boudria was found in Middletown standing in a parking lot and was immediately taken to the children's hospital in Hartford, but she did not need treatment.
The abductor, Kimberly Johnson, 38, is Boudria's half aunt, and police do not believe her kidnapping was random, according to Southcoast.
The 1-year-old, her mother and Johnson were shopping when Johnson asked Boudria's mom to get her a coffee while Johnson and the baby waited in the car.
When the mother came out, Johnson was gone.
Johnson is still at large and may have changed her name to Alyssa, Swansea Police Chief George Arruda said.
Police have urged people with information on Johnson's whereabouts to call 911.
Michael Jackson's personal doctor pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of involuntary manslaughter for the pop star's death.
Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist and Jackson's personal physician, entered his not-guilty plea in a Los Angeles Superior Court, according to the Star Tribune.
Officials said Murray gave the singer propofol, a powerful anesthetic, and two other sedatives to help Jackson sleep.
According to the coroner's report, the drugs Murray gave Jackson, along with other drugs, were the cause of Jackson's death.
Investigators originally hoped to charge Murray with second-degree murder without the presence of a motive, according to FoxNews, but did not think a jury would convict Murray.
Murray is out on bail, but must return for his April 5 preliminary hearing.
If convicted Murray could face up to four years in prison.
The Los Angeles Court judge ordered Murray to turn in his passport so he could not flee the country until then.

As far as I understand A. Saitiev will not be wrestling for sure. He was in the hospital for 3 weeks with neck disks problems. Supposedly its an old injury that got worse and he needs surgery. It is possible we will never see him wrestle again.
Some people are saying Sajidov might not wrestle either. This is less clear though. If so, Ketoev is a lock!

Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and Martha at Bethany (Jésus à Bethanie, Marie, Madeleine et Marthe)
Invited to Bethany, where the siblings Lazarus and Martha reside, Jesus finds respite from his ministry and peace to converse with friends. Intent on listening to Jesus, the Magdalene takes a place at his feet—much to the frustration of Martha, who expects her help with the guests, Tissot relates. The Magdalene's devoted discipleship proves unflagging throughout the narrative from the ministry to the Passion and the Resurrection; and, accordingly, her posture here at the feet of Christ finds echoes in later episodes.

What You Can Expect
These fascinating locks are an essential part of the process of getting ships through the canal from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans (or vice versa). Tour the facility with your local guide, learning about the locks' history and watching ships being raised and lowered between sea level and Miraflores Lake. Then visit the Miraflores Visitor Center, a museum where displays and exhibits help tell the story of the incredible feat of engineering that is the Panama Canal.
Next, hop back in your tour van to head to the top of Ancón Hill (Cerro Ancón), a 650-foot (200-meter) hill that overlooks Panama City, providing panoramic views from a lookout platform. Walk around a bit to look for some of the local animals that inhabit the hill, such as armadillos, deer, tamarins and even elusive sloths, if you're lucky.
Continue your tour to a local artisan market, where your guide will tell you about Panama City's market culture. Shop for local handicrafts, if you wish, to take home as souvenirs or gifts for friends. Then head south into Panama Bay, traveling down the Amador Causeway, a palm-lined road that runs across the sea, offering a great view of the Bridge of the Americas and connecting the mainland to three small islands. The area is a lively dining, entertainment and activity district where you'll have free time to get lunch at one of the many restaurants at the end of the causeway.
After lunch, take a 20-minute outdoor stroll at the Punta Culebra Nature Center, an open-air museum located on Naos Island at the end of the causeway. Operated by the Smithsonian, the center features aquariums, exhibits on marine conservation and a nature trail.
Finally, visit your last destination of the day, the historic neighborhood of Casco Viejo (meaning 'Old Quarter'), which dates back to the 1670s. Embark on a 1.5-hour walking tour through the World Heritage-listed district with your guide, who will point out important landmarks and tell you little-known facts that you probably won't read in your guidebooks. See its main sights like Metropolitan Cathedral, the Palacio de las Garzas (the residence of the President of Panama), the Church of St Francis of Assisi and the National Theatre.
Your day tour ends with return to the central meeting point, the American Trade Hotel.

Before himself becoming a connecting thread between Delaware and Mississippi, Blake Wilson found other such threads.
Now president and CEO of the Mississippi Economic Council, Wilson worked at a Delaware newspaper at age 17, and he said his editor came from Mississippi. He later discovered that when current U.S. Vice President Joe Biden was still a Delaware senator, he was a close friend of Mississippi Sen. John Stennis. But beyond these ties, Wilson said there were important differences between Delaware and Mississippi made clear by Blueprint Mississippi, a research project looking at how Mississippi compared with 11 other states economically.

How to Improve Your Digestive Health
Many people suffer from digestive issues, such as constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, nausea, intolerance and celiac disease. Some of these conditions can be avoided by following a healthy, doctor-recommended diet. If you have digestive issues, you may consider slowly changing your eating habits to include fiber, probiotics, water, and more. In time, you may find that your symptoms can abate or go away entirely. However, proceed gradually - drastic changes in diet can cause nausea, gas, bloating and changes in bowel movements.
1Add a probiotic to your diet. Common probiotics include yogurt, kefir, kombucha, tempeh, coconut water, miso, soy and other fermented foods. These foods are filled with similar bacteria to your body's own microorganisms that are needed for digestion, such as lactobacillus and bifidobacterium.
- A good way to start is to ensure you get at least 3 tbsp. (44 ml) of yogurt per day. Although most yogurt should have active organisms, you may want to check on the label to ensure it contains the necessary microorganisms.
2Begin adding soluble and insoluble fiber to your diet. Most people get only a small portion of the 20 to 35 mg of fiber that is recommended for healthy digestion. If you are eating low amounts of beans, seeds, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, begin adding them slowly until 75 percent of your diet is filled with these foods.
- Soluble fiber includes carrots, psyllium, cucumbers, lentils, oats, other cereals and fruits like strawberries, pears and oranges. They attract water and form a gel that helps to fill you up more quickly with fewer calories.
- Insoluble fiber includes nuts, seeds, chia, whole wheat, other whole grains, brown rice, celery, bulgar, onions, vegetable skins and dark, leafy vegetables. These types of fiber do not absorb water. They help the food move through your digestive system more quickly.
- Some of these types of fiber are called "prebiotics." They are found in some greens, onions, garlic, artichokes and bananas. They are a type of helpful bacteria similar to probiotics. Studies have shown that a lack of fiber can lead to an overabundance of harmful gut bacteria, which can be painful, and slow digestion.
3Reduce fat and sugar in your diet. Not only can these substances cause stomach aches in high quantities, but they slow digestion, causing constipation. One way to ensure you are reducing fats and sugars is to reduce the amount of processed food that you eat, as these tend to have hidden chemicals and sugar.
4Drink plenty of water. The combination of high-fiber and water will increase the efficiency of your digestion. Most doctors recommend 8 8 oz. glasses per day (1.9 l). Experiment with this amount to see if your body requires more.
- People who exercise regularly should increase the amount of water they consume. For example, they may want to consume an extra 16 oz. (0.5 l) of water for every 30 minutes of intensive cardiovascular exercise.
5Try eating several small meals per day, if large meals give you heartburn or acid reflux. Your body is better at digesting smaller quantities at a time. After you figure out the amount of food that works well per meal, try to keep a regular schedule that your body can adjust to.
6Eat lean proteins, such as fish and lean cuts of meat. These proteins are essential for healthy muscles, but lean cuts are less likely to cause heartburn and will be quicker to digest. In general, high-fat foods take longer to digest than low-fat foods.
7Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day. What is good for the entire body is good for the digestive system. Exercise and movement help food move through your system and aid in weight loss, which can also help digestion.
8Avoid the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol. The chemicals contained inside these substances can cause nausea and they can also erase the effects of good diet choices. Caffeine may also cause an increase in acidity in the stomach that can lead to high levels of heart burn and acid reflux.
9Reduce stress in your life. Stress has been shown to cause weight gain, constipation, diarrhea and a lowered immune system. It will leave you prone to the h. pylori bacteria that causes ulcers.
- Yoga, meditation, massage, baths and other relaxation techniques can help you to handle stress and inadvertently help your digestion.
10Keep track of your digestive habits. Use a journal to write down what you eat and any increase or reduction of symptoms that you experience. You may only need to change 1 to 2 things about your diet to improve your overall digestion.
11Go to the doctor, if you have improved your eating habits but you feel that you are still in ill health; you may have a food allergy, intolerance or disease. Make an appointment for your doctor to test you for allergies or put you on an elimination diet.
- During an elimination diet, you slowly take away 1 factor, such as dairy or wheat, that may be causing your trouble. After 2 to 4 weeks without this type of food, you start to add it back and see if your digestive problems return. This should only be done under the advisement of a doctor.
We could really use your help!

The upcoming Chasing Ice documentary, that will be released in several days, shows the largest-ever breaking off of an iceberg captured on camera.
Photographer James Balog, who recorded the ice-break, described the event to The Guardian as being similar to "Manhattan breaking apart in front of your eyes." The part that broke of the Ilulissat glacier in Greenland was 7.4 cubic kilometers (4.6 cubic miles).
According to the documentary's website, it is about Balog, a former climate change skeptic, deploying "revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers."
"His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate," it continues. He traveled to capture scenes across the Arctic.
To capture the massive Greenland ice-break Balog camped out with time-lapse cameras recording at all times, according to the website.
A recent report published in late November shows that over the past two decades, the rate of ice-loss in Greenland has increased by five times. The report, which was commissioned by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also noted that Greenland loses around 263 billion tons of ice per year.
The report said that the decline of the Greenland and Antarctic ice has caused the world's sea levels to rise by 11.1 millimeters, or 0.47-inch, over the past two decades.

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Wheels Tires
Ford Brakes - Brake-System Basics
Which Is More Important-Going Fast Or Stopping Quickly?
Drum Brakes Done Right
Likely the biggest problems behind drum-brake performance issues are inattention to detail and being a cheapskate about your brakes. Drum brakes are high maintenance and temperamental. They demand the best components and your closest attention. Whenever you rebuild drum brakes, start clean with new, high-quality components, including springs and hardware, riveted linings, wheel cylinders, and new or resurfaced drums.
When you go cheap with used components, you're asking for trouble. Drum-brake components last for one, maybe two brake jobs. Springs lose their tension. Hard parts wear out. Wheel cylinders develop leaks. Drums become too large internally. Drums should be machine turned by qualified personnel at every brake job and replaced at every other relining. Even though inside drum dimensions are within limits, drum brakes perform their best when shoes travel the shortest distance.
The bottom line with drum brakes is this-never cut corners. Use the best components, riveted linings, and new drums when it's time for an overhaul. When you don't turn drums, shoes can't bed like they need to. Whenever you push drums to their legal limit, brakes will not perform their best. They will also make unwanted noise because the shoe itself will rub the drum, causing an annoying squeal. Remember: one turning to a drum, then toss it.
What Are Power Brakes?
There are two basic types of power-brake systems-vacuum assist and hydroboost. Vacuum assist is most common, employing a chamber divided by a spring-loaded diaphragm. The engine's intake-manifold vacuum creates negative pressure (suction) on one side-the side nearest the master cylinder. The diaphragm is drawn toward negative pressure, which helps the driver apply pressure to the master cylinder's piston rod. Intake manifold vacuum helps the driver do the braking, easing pedal effort.
Hydroboost power brakes work like power steering. When you touch the brake pedal, you open a control valve that applies pressure to the master cylinder, easing pedal effort. Hydroboost isn't at the mercy of faltering intake-manifold vacuum when you have a hot cam. As long as the engine is running, hydroboost gives you power-brake assistance. Hydroboost pressure comes off the power-steering pump-even if your Ford doesn't have power steering.
Hydroboost power-brake units can be sourced a variety of places, including Power Brake Service [www.powerbrakesonline.com, (800) 504-1060] and Hydratech Braking Systems [www.hydratechbraking.com, (586) 427-6970]. Hoses can be fabricated at a hydraulic or air-conditioning shop. Mustangs from 1996 to 2004 with SOHC and DOHC V-8s have hydroboost power brakes. So did some Lincolns and Mercurys. These are good sources for the units if you decide to fabricate your own setup. If you can't find one in a salvage yard, order one from your favorite auto-parts store, and be prepared to pay the core charge.
Brake- Bleeding Technique
Through the years, we have seen a lot of different approaches to brake bleeding. Most of us subscribe to the shade-tree approach of having a buddy work the pedal while we work the bleeders.
There are also tools that enable you to bleed brakes by yourself. One is a pneumatic-pressure bleeder that places air pressure on top of the master cylinder's brake fluid, pushing fluid and air out through bleeders. Another tool uses a hand-pump method, pushing fluid and air back through the master cylinder. Both systems are quite affordable.

carbonate precipitates, fixing the CO2 at depth. Studies on the global availability and capacity of such formations overlain with competent, impermeable formations will be required. Modeling and experiments on CO2 interactions with basalt should point to the level of benefit that could be derived from exploiting these formations for storage.
CO2 could potentially be injected into deep (greater than roughly 3 km) ocean sediments at depths where the pressure/temperature regime will result in a stabilized CO2 with a density greater than that of water. This would essentially isolate the CO2 from seawater to inhibit chemical interactions. Studies of the global availability of such environments and of their porosity, permeability, and capacity would be of specific interest.
CO2 could also potentially be injected into subsea tectonic spreading regions, which are highly active geothermally, creating unique geohydrologic activity. Seawater flows downward into the sediment at distances of many meters to kilometers away from the spreading area, then turns toward the region at depth and is eventually heated to high temperatures and expelled back to the sea. The conditions surrounding these regions have many advantages for fixing CO2 in that the reaction kinetics are fast because of increasing heat and pressure in the direction of flow. It is theorized that CO2 could be injected into the geohydrologic flow field away from the spreading region and entrained in that flow. This would result in the development of several carbonate species (magnesite, magnesium carbonate, dolomite, and calcite) as the combined flow of seawater and CO2 is heated, pressurized, and released back to the sea.
Another possibility is Arctic hydrate storage of CO2 below the permafrost layers in regions where methane and other gas hydrates form. The injected CO2 would form CO2 hydrates that would reside in the pore space of the host rock, with the permafrost layer above it serving, in effect, as the cap rock of a newly created CO2 reservoir.
Opportunities may exist in unconventional storage formations for utilizing the chemistry, temperature, and pressure (depth) to improve the long-term stability of sequestered CO2 through mineralization, precipitation, and other stabilizing reactions.
Possible research concepts include the following:
Characterization of promising, previously unstudied porous rock mass formations from a storage media perspective. This investigation would include examining porosity, permeability, capacity, and chemical composition.
Identification of regional and global locations of favorable formations.
Investigation, through modeling and experimental work, of the nature of rock/CO2 fluid interactions in various rock types over short and long periods. The goal would be to determine beneficial interactions that may occur in basalt or sandstones derived from basalt.
Assessment of containment issues such as interactions that may occur in surrounding and overlying rock types and performance of typical rock mass characterization.
Accumulation and analysis of existing data on CO2 storage. This activity should include examination of natural storage areas as well as engineered storage areas.

But I was afraid to try it before because I thought I couldn't handle the carbs. Its nonsense. I eat more carbs now and it revs up my metabolism so I can continue to burn more fat. And I feel much better off it too.
I just figured this out about 4 weeks ago... I was in a low-carb mindset for the past, like 2-3 years...
But lately I've been eating more of a just-eat-whole-foods diet. I don't care whether they're carbs or not... although I do tend to lean away from starchy carbs(except for my morning oats), and stick to the legumes and squashes and such.
Point is, I've been doing a low-fat, moderate-carb diet for 4 weeks and have seen excellent results- and my energy level is a lot better than it was while I was low-carb.
