NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaches, 12 former CIA, FBI, NSA, and US military officials — including Time Magazine's 2002 person of the year, Colleen Rowley, and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern, who provided the daily brief for three presidents — say in an open letter to President Obama that the charge that President Assad used chemical weapons on August 21st is based on false intelligence.
If this charge is false, and leads to war in Syria, it would not be the first time US leaders have misled their public into going to war. Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense during the Vietnam War, admitted in 2003 that America went to war in Vietnam on the false intelligence that North Vietnam had attacked a US destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin.
The 9/11 Consensus Panel was formed to deal with another notorious fraudulent pretext for war, the attacks of September 11, 2001, that triggered the "war on terror" and the ongoing military actions in the Middle East.
The professional 24-member Panel was formed in 2011 to show the public that behind the horrific images of planes crashing into the Towers lies a wealth of slowly emerging evidence that 9/11 was a false flag operation.
Using a standard medical review model, the Panel has thus far produced 37 Consensus Points refuting the official story, five of which are released today.
For example, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's report on the… Continue reading

Exclusive: Though the 9/11 attacks occurred more than a decade ago, Congress continues to exploit them to pass evermore draconian laws on "terrorism," with the Senate now empowering the military to arrest people on U.S. soil and hold them without trial, a serious threat to American liberties, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Ambiguous but alarming new wording, which is tucked into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and was just passed by the Senate, is reminiscent of the "extraordinary measures" introduced by the Nazis after they took power in 1933.
And the relative lack of reaction so far calls to mind the oddly calm indifference with which most Germans watched the erosion of the rights that had been guaranteed by their own Constitution. As one German writer observed, "With sheepish submissiveness we watched it unfold, as if from a box at the theater."
The writer was Sebastian Haffner (real name Raimond Pretzel), a young German lawyer worried at what he saw in 1933 in Berlin, but helpless to stop it since, as he put it, the German people "collectively and limply collapsed, yielded and capitulated."
"The result of this millionfold nervous breakdown," wrote Haffner at the time, "is the unified nation, ready for anything, that is today the nightmare of the rest of the world." Not a happy analogy.
The Senate bill, in effect, revokes an 1878 law known as the Posse Comitatus Act, which banned the Army from domestic law enforcement after the military had… Continue reading
ConsortiumNews.com Exclusive: With few exceptions — like some salacious rumor about the Kennedy family — the mainstream U.S. news media has little interest in historical stories. Such was the case when an ex-White House terrorism official accused a former CIA director of withholding information that might have prevented a 9/11 attack, Ray McGovern reports. <

Bulletin for those of you who get your information only from the New York Times, the Washington Post and other outlets of the Fawning Corporate Media (FCM): Former White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke has accused ex-CIA Director George Tenet of denying him and others access to intelligence that could have thwarted the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11.
Deliberately withholding critical intelligence from those who need it, and can act on it, is — at the least — gross dereliction of duty.
The more so if keeping the White House promptly and fully informed is at the top of your job jar, as it was for Director of Central Intelligence Tenet. And yet that is precisely the charge Clarke has leveled at the former DCI.
In an interview aired on Aug. 11 on a local PBS affiliate in Colorado, Clarke charges that Tenet and two other senior CIA officials, Cofer Black and Richard Blee, deliberately withheld information about two of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77 — al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar. The two had entered the United States more than a year before the 9/11 attacks.… Continue reading

Indignities experienced by me and my co-guests on "The Audacity of Hope," the American boat to Gaza, over the past ten days in Athens leave no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama's administration has forfeited the right to claim any lineage to the brave Americans who declared independence from the king of England 235 years ago.
In the Declaration of Independence, they pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to a new enterprise of freedom, democracy and the human spirit. The outcome was far from assured; likely as not, the hangman's noose awaited them. They knew that all too well.
But they had a genuine audacity to hope that the majority of their countrymen and women, persuaded by Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the elegant words of Thomas Jefferson, would conclude that the goal of liberty and freedom was worth the risk, that it was worth whatever the cost.
These days we have been seduced into thinking that such principles have become "quaint"… Continue reading

The Obama administration's decision to use a military tribunal rather than a federal criminal court to try alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others means the real motives behind the 9/11 attacks may remain obscure.
The Likud Lobby and their allied U.S. legislators can chalk up a significant victory for substantially shrinking any opportunity for the accused planners of 9/11 to tell their side of the story.
What? I sense some bristling. "Their side of the story?" Indeed! We've been told there is no "their side of the story."
For years, President George W. Bush got away with offering up the risible explanation that they "hate our freedoms." The stenographers of the White House press corps may have had to suppress smiles but silently swallowed the "they-hate-us-for-our-freedoms" rationale.
The only journalist I can recall stepping up and asking, in effect, "Come on; now really; it's important; why do the really hate us" was the indomitable Helen Thomas.
In January 2010, just weeks after the "underpants bomber" tried to down an airliner over Detroit, President Barack Obama asked White House counter-terrorism guru, John Brennan, to field questions from the White House press.
Helen Thomas took the opportunity to ask why the would-be bomber did what he did. The exchange with Brennan is, hopefully, more instructive than it is depressing — highlighting a limited mindset still stuck in bromides.
Thomas: "Why do they want to do us harm? And what is the motivation?… Continue reading

Sometimes the hypocrisy is just overwhelming. So, it probably shouldn't surprise us that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would deliver a speech hailing the peaceful protests that changed Egypt while 71-year-old Ray McGovern was roughed up and dragged away for standing quietly in protest of her support for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"So this is America," said McGovern as he was hustled from the room by two security guards. "This is America."
McGovern, a former Army intelligence officer and a 27-year veteran of the CIA, was wearing a "Veterans for Peace" t-shirt and, according to witnesses, was standing silently with his back to Secretary Clinton before he was set upon by the two agents who bruised, bloodied and handcuffed McGovern, a cancer survivor. [For video, see below.]
McGovern, who writes for Consortiumnews.com, has been detained at other events protesting both the illegality of U.S. wars and the hypocrisy of demanding accountability for others but not for senior U.S. officials implicated in war crimes, like the torture authorized by former President George W. Bush and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney.
For instance, last December, McGovern joined a Veterans for Peace protest at the White House, which he described in an article "Thoughts at the White House Fence."
In the article, McGovern described thinking about "Casey Sheehan and 4,429 other U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, and the 491 U.S. troops killed this year in Afghanistan (bringing that total to 1,438). And their… Continue reading

The Israeli military has attacked a flotilla of international peace activists, killing as many as 19 innocent civilians while they were carrying ten tons of aid to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza. This is not the first time the Israeli military has attacked a nonthreatening entity in international waters.
On June 8, 1967, while sailing in international waters, the US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was attacked by air and naval forces of the state of Israel. Of the Liberty's crew of 294, more than half were killed or wounded. More than 40 years later, survivors are still seeking justice.
The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that the Liberty was an American ship, yet survivors have been forbidden to tell their story under oath to the American public.
Joe Meadors was on the Liberty during the attack. "I watched some jets pass us then turn left after they passed our ship, then they started strafing [attacking repeatedly with bombs or machine-gun fire from low-flying aircraft] us," Meadors told Truthout.
"The attack lasted 90 minutes, during which we got a message off to the 6th fleet asking for assistance, and we learned later, Joe Tully, commanding officer of the USS Saratoga, launched aircraft within minutes of the attack, but he told us later they were recalled before they reached the horizon. We found this out 20 years after the attack."
Meadors said he and his group, the USS Liberty Veterans Association, believe that Rear Adm.…Continue reading

On Tuesday, May 11 at 6:00pm CDT on 90.1 FM KKFI Community Radio (Kansas City), 'Tell Somebody' host Tom Klammer will feature former FBI Special Agent and Minneapolis Chief Division Counsel Coleen Rowley and 27- year CIA analyst and Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity cofounder Ray McGovern. The program will stream live at www.kkfi.org.
Rowley's team had arrested Zacarias Moussaoui just three weeks before 9/11, and was denied a warrant to search his computer by FBI headquarters. Rowley was on the cover of Time magazine's 2002 Person of the Year issue with two other whistleblowers after she went public with a blistering letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Rowley just wrote a piece on the Huffington Post, headlined "Quarles Public Safety Exception–Constitutional and Proven Effective!" . We'll hear about that from Coleen Rowley as she returns to Tell Somebody this week.
After that, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern returns to the show. Ray's latest post on Consortium News is entitled, "Loose Lips on Iran Can Sink America".
Tune in to KKFI at 6pm Tuesday.

Probe Beneath the Surface of the Obama Era at the "Understanding Deep Politics" Conference in Santa Cruz, May 14-16
By Byron Belitsos
May 4, 2010
Some say it began with the invasion of Iraq. Others, with the inauguration of George W. Bush for his second term. Many point to the day of 9/11. But those in the know–including ten distinguished speakers headlining the "Understanding Deep Politics" Conference in Santa Cruz this May 14-16–trace the era of deep politics further back: Some to JFK's assassination; others, to the aftermath of World War II. And a few speakers in Santa Cruz will stretch us back to Hitler, Lenin, Weishaupt, or Machiavelli, from there to ancient secret societies, and even back to the dawn of human governance itself–in the belief that conscious political deception is an inescapable feature of human nature. But all agree on the general definition of deep politics: It refers to government in which two dimensions of action always coexist: Overt and covert, or benign and utterly ruthless.
We can trace it forward too; by now we know that the ways of deceptive government did not end with the ascent of Obama. As with the Bush era, the overt side of American politics still refers to government actions thinly covered in the mainstream press; on this level of action, we know that Obama signed the largest military budget in history, expanded the war in Afghanistan, bailed out banks, and "reformed" health care; but on the covert side of the equation, most don't realize–given how the corporate media and Obama's benign rhetoric is busy distracting us–that the new president has carried forward virtually all of the discredited Bush-era War or Terror policies.…Continue reading

A right-wing neocon organization called the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD)1 — which devotes itself to attacking religiously and socially progressive churches while supporting US imperial policies (going back to the Nicaraguan Contras funded illegally by the Reagan administration2 ) — has recently put out a press release attacking my next book, which is scheduled to be published this coming fall. Saying that I am "back with another outrageous book" in which I allege "new absurdities," the IRD claims that I am "this time alleging that the Obama administration is attempting to undermine 9/11 conspiracy theorists."3
Last September, Dr. Griffin was interviewed by God TV, the End Times show. It reaches over 100 million people worldwide by TV, plus others on the Internet.
It was aired on Friday night at 5:30 PM PDT and turned out to be an excellent interview, really professional. The hosts, Rory and Wendy, are gracious and delightful. Just a simple, straightforward interview that freed David to take his time to explain things. It's also on their website: http://www.god.tv/video/play?video=1219.

Yesterday, a blogger with the PBS' NewsHour asked former CIA analyst Ray McGovern to respond to three questions regarding recent events involving the CIA, FBI, and the intelligence community in general.
Two other old intelligence hands were asked the identical questions, queries that are typical of what radio/TV and blogger interviewers usually think to be the right ones. So there is merit in trying to answer them directly, such as they are, and then broadening the response to address some of the core problems confronting U.S. counter-terror strategies.
After drafting his answers, McGovern asked former FBI attorney/special agent Coleen Rowley, a colleague in Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) to review his responses and add her own comments at the end. The Q & A is below:
Question #1 – What lapses in the American counter terrorism apparatus made the Christmas Day bombing plot possible? Is it inevitable that certain plots will succeed?
The short answer to the second sentence is: Yes, it is inevitable that "certain plots will succeed." A more helpful answer would address the question as to how we might best minimize their prospects for success. And to do this, sorry to say, there is no getting around the necessity to address the root causes of terrorism or, in the vernacular, "why they hate us."
If we don't go beyond self-exculpatory sloganeering in attempting to answer that key question, any
"counter terrorism apparatus" is doomed to failure.… Continue reading

As Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other alleged 9/11 conspirators go to trial, the corporate media's embargo on the truth about the Bush years will be under great strain.
Media commentary on the upcoming 9/11 trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has raised concern that state secrets may be divulged, including details about how the Bush administration used torture to extract evidence about al-Qaeda.
"I think that we're going to shine a light on something that a lot of people don't want to look at" is how American Civil Liberties Union attorney Denney LeBoeuf put it, according to The New York Times on Saturday.
No problem, says Attorney General Eric Holder, who claims to have "great confidence" that other evidence — apart from what may have been gleaned from the 183 times Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded, for example — will suffice to convict him.
Maybe so, But what the Fawning Corporate Media (or FCM) have so far neglected is the likelihood that the testimony will be so public that they will have to break their studied silence about why Sheikh Mohammed and his associates say they orchestrated the attacks of 9/11.
For reasons that are painfully obvious, the FCM have done their best to ignore or bury the role that Israel's repression of the Palestinians has played in motivating the 9/11 attacks and other anti-Western terrorism.
It is not like there is no evidence on this key issue. Rather, it appears that the Israel-Palestine connection is pretty much kept off limits for discussion.…Continue reading

EXTRA! Read all about it in the Washington Post: Torture
Cheney and torture practitioners vindicated.
It seems coverage of the Bush administration's "war on terror" has been put back on track by the editors of the Washington Post and their "sources" who are determined to highlight the supposed successes of waterboarding and other forms of torture.
Frankly, I was wondering when this return to form would happen at the Post. I was surprised to see Post journalists recently lose their grip, so to speak, and fall into the practice of reporting real facts — like the sickening revelations in the long-suppressed CIA Inspector General's report on torture.
Apparently they have now been reminded of the biases of the newspaper's top brass, forever justifying the hardnosed "realism" of the Bush administration as it approved brutal and perverse methods for stripping the "bad guys" of their clothes, their dignity, their sense of self — all to protect America.
Hooded, threatened with cocked guns and electric drills, deprived of sleep for long periods, beaten, dressed in diapers, forced into painful stress positions, locked in tiny boxes and subjected to the near-drowning of waterboarding, the terrorism suspects were supposed to be terrorized into what the CIA psychologists called "learned helplessness."
And to read the Washington Post's account, it all worked, transforming alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed from a "truculent enemy" into what the CIA considered its "preeminent source" on al-Qaeda.
The Post… Continue reading

Yesterday, something very interesting was reported on. However, before I tell you about it, I have a few things to say. Over the years, I have promoted information regarding the Pakistani ISI's connection to "Al-Qaeda" and "terrorism." I get a lot of flack for this, and am portrayed as someone who wants to see Pakistan and all Muslims killed. I am also portrayed as someone that doesn't want to expose Israel's alleged role in the 9/11 attacks. This is simply not true. Here's an article I wrote about Ray McGovern and Israel on 5/7/2006. I added an introduction to address this issue. Another article I wrote addressed the "I want all Muslims killed" argument. In that I said, "you may have seen me say on occasion that 9/11 was not a Zionist crime, not a Muslim crime, not an American crime, etc… but a crime, and should be treated as such. A horrible crime took place on 9/11. 2,973 people were brutally murdered. When it first happened, our "leaders" told us it was an "act of war." It wasn't. It was a crime. Carried out by men. Those men may have been American. They may have been Saudi Arabian. They may have been Pakistani. They may have been Israeli. They may have been Muslim. They may have been Jewish. They may have been Episcopalian. It doesn't matter. No nationality or religion committed the crimes of 9/11. Men did. Men who should be punished to the fullest extent… Continue reading
"War on Terror" advocates want civilians to die to justify "War on Terror"
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
6 July, 2009
CIA analyst Michael Scheuer's recent call for bin Laden to kill more Americans would be shocking if we hadn't already heard it dozens of times before from other "War on Terror" advocates. "It's an absurd situation," Scheuer told FOX News personality Glenn Beck on his program last week. "Only Osama can execute an attack that will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary."
The comments have provoked much shock and outrage among pundits and websites like Jon Stewart and NewsHounds who may have considered him to be on their side. After all, he seemed to be a vociferous and effective critic of the neocons, having authored books like Imperial Hubris and having supported Ron Paul during the 2008 Presidential debates by asserting that 9/11 was merely blowback for American interventionism in the Middle East. With his latest comments, Scheuer is now relegated to the ignoble company of neocon shills like Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who dreamed of another terrorist attack back in 2007 to rally people around the flag (and, presumably, George W. Bush) once again; Donald Rumsfeld, who complained in 2006 that the Bush regime was a victim of its own success in the "War on Terror" and that another terrorist attack was needed to remind people that the war was still necessary; and… Continue reading

What's the difference between murder and massacre?
The answer is Terry Halbardier, whose bravery and ingenuity as a 23-year-old Navy seaman spelled the difference between the murder of 34 of the USS Liberty crew and the intended massacre of all 294.
The date was June 8, 1967; and for the families of the 34 murdered and for the Liberty's survivors and their families, it is a "date which will live in infamy" — like the date of an earlier surprise attack on the U.S. Navy.
The infamy is two-fold: (1) the Liberty, a virtually defenseless intelligence collection platform prominently flying an American flag in international waters, came under deliberate attack by Israeli aircraft and three 60-ton Israeli torpedo boats off the coast of the Sinai on a cloudless June afternoon during the six-day Israeli-Arab war; and (2) President Lyndon Johnson called back carrier aircraft dispatched to defend the Liberty lest Israel be embarrassed — the start of an unconscionable cover-up, including top Navy brass, that persists to this day.
Given all they have been through, the Liberty survivors and other veterans — who joined Halbardier to celebrate his belated receipt of the Silver Star — can be forgiven for having doubted that this day would ever come.
In the award ceremony at the Visalia (California) office of Rep. Devin Nunes, the Republican congressman pinned the Silver Star next to the Purple Heart that Halbardier found in his home mailbox three years ago.
Nunes said, "The government… Continue reading

Hi Brett,
It is not compatible with MyfitnessPal "yet". We have over 100 Apps that it does work with and many more in process. We provide a software library to App developers to make it super easy to add support for our products.
This product is a traditional "chest" belt. We are constantly evaluating the state of technology and so far still believe that for reliable HR measurement in all conditions the chest belt is the best way to go.

We need a higher resolution image of the logo (which I didn't make) and then it can get done.. I need to either recreate it or get around to asking Danielle (DH? hehe). Then we will have them ready within a week. J Robinson Wrestling Products is going to do the printing, and their president said it'd be finished quickly- once we have the final design ready to go.
I was planning on having them do Tees, Long Sleeve Tees, shorts, and sweat pants for now... probably more designs and apparel next season as we continue to grow.
Sounds great. Will we be able to order them or will I have to schlep them around with me at the Nationals with a dozen NCAA t-shirts, and try to stuff all that cra . . er apparel into my suitcase?
Atrophy: what you get when you win atournament.
JRWrestling will send them out for us, so you will be able to have them shipped (probably like $3.60 or whatever priority shipping is) I dont think the total cost will even exceed 15 bucks (for the t-shirts) for shipping and everything... whatever profit is earned off the apparel will go to a prize(s) for something next season.

Petrobras Delays Saipem and Technip's Gas Plants, CEO Says
Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state-controlled oil producer, delayed plans to use floating natural-gas plants supplied by Saipem SpA, Technip SA and SBM Offshore NV until after 2015, said its chief executive officer.
Petrobras has chosen to use pipelines to transport gas from fields in deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean to maximize the fuel's value, CEO Jose Sergio Gabrielli told journalists today in London. A new pipeline will be online before the end of 2014 and Petrobras may use the floating plants after 2015 to help develop the largest oil discoveries in the Western Hemisphere in more than 30 years, he said.
Gabrielli said two bids were "attractive," without naming the companies. The plants, which cost more than $3 billion, convert the gas into a liquid for transportation by ships.
Petrobras had been reviewing bids from France's Technip, SBM Offshore of the Netherlands and Italy's Saipem to build floating natural-gas units.
Petrobras rose 0.2 percent to 18.95 reais at 2:43 p.m. in Sao Paulo trading. The stock has fallen 31 percent this year, more than the 23 percent decline in Brazil's benchmark Bovespa index.

Hey Brits, keep an eye out for this little critter – it may be your last chance. The grey long-eared bat is one of the rarest mammals in the UK, and there may be only 1000 left in the country.
These survivors hang out along the south coast of England, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands, although one has been recorded in south Wales too. They favour lowland meadows and marshlands, but many such habitats have disappeared in the UK over the past 50 years. Monitoring and protecting remaining roosts is essential to the bats' survival, says Orly Razgour, co-author of a report on their conservation.
That work isn't made easier by brown long-eared bats, a related species also found in the UK. Greys tend to have greyer fur on their backs and whiter on the front, just like the one above, but younger browns can easily be confused for greys thanks to their darker colouring. Only careful body measurements or genetic analysis can distinguish them.
(Image: Eric Medard/Naturepl.com)
We dubbed another long-lobed species, the desert long-eared bat, the toughest bat in the world due to its habit of scoffing poisonous scorpions. Meanwhile, bats in the US are in the fight of their lives against deadly white nose syndrome.

It's About the Process: Q&A With Men's Basketball Coach Mark Gottfried
Oct. 20, 2012
GoPack.com caught up with NC State men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried after Saturday's practice to discuss a variety of topics from the Wolfpack's preseason preparations for its Nov. 9 season opener versus Miami of Ohio.
GoPack.com: Have the practices for your Spanish exhibition tour helped with your practices now?
Mark Gottfried: "We're farther along than we were a year ago at this time because we had last year under our belts and the summer opportunity. Our guys had five great days (of practice) and then we hit the wall. I think we're coming back a little bit now. Today was really good and they competed hard. For us, we've got to get the young guys and those who haven't played a lot like Jordan (Vandenberg) and Thomas (de Thaey) to blend in with those other four (returning starters Lorenzo Brown, Richard Howell, C.J. Leslie and Scott Wood)."
GoPack.com: Has it been a challenge to get intensity going for practice?
Gottfried: "They are competing hard everyday and that's going to make us better. We talk about the process of trying to become a great team and it's a process and going take time. It takes attention to every drill of every day. We're not interested in taking any drill off. It has to be the absolute best effort on every drill and that's where our focus has been."
GoPack.com: How have your four returning starters shown their leadership?
Gottfried: "I think the leadership has been good, but I want it to be better. They can be more verbal. They also need to understand that leadership isn't always verbal communication. Sometimes it's your example, which has been good. I just want it to be better. Every day. Every drill. As four guys who have played, [they] have to lead by example from start to finish in every second of every day."
GoPack.com: Your message throughout this preseason has been focusing on "the process." Talk about you what you mean by the process?
Gottfried: "Our team has been getting a lot of attention and you can easily get ahead of yourself. For us to become a great program - which we're not yet, we are not there; regardless of how everybody thinks we are, we're are not there - it's a process to become that, so it's something we're going work on everyday."

duke university health system, inc. agrees to pay $1 million for alleged false claims submitted to federal health care programs
RALEIGH – United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina Thomas G. Walker and North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper announced jointly that Duke University Health System, Inc. (Duke University Health System) has agreed to pay $1 million to resolve allegations under the U.S. and North Carolina False Claims Acts that it made false claims in conjunction with certain services provided to beneficiaries of Federal health care programs (Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE).Â
Duke University Health System is a non-profit corporation that operates three hospitals: (1) Duke University Hospital, (2) Duke Regional Hospital (formerly known as Durham Regional Hospital), and (3) Duke Raleigh Hospital (formerly known as Duke Health Raleigh Hospital). Duke University Health System allegedly made false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE by (1) billing the government for services provided by physician assistants (PA's) during coronary artery bypass surgeries when the PA's were acting as surgical assistants (along with graduate medical trainees), which is not allowed under government regulations and (2) increasing billing by unbundling claims when the unbundling was not appropriate, specifically in connection with cardiac and anesthesia services.  Â
"Allegations of health care fraud will be zealously pursued in North Carolina," said U.S. Attorney Thomas G. Walker. "We encourage our citizens to report potential health care fraud to the appropriate authorities. Duke Univesity Health System was forthcoming with information, and was cooperative in the investigation and resolution."
"Health care fraud like this wastes tax dollars, harms patients who need care, and drives up medical costs for all of us," said North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper. "We're working closely with federal officials to root out this kind of fraud in North Carolina and make wrongdoers pay."
"Hospitals that try to make profit by misrepresenting to Medicare and Medicaid about the services they provide will instead pay large settlements to the government for their misdeeds," said Derrick L. Jackson, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Atlanta Region. "If you suspect Medicare or Medicaid fraud please report it by phone at 1-800-447-8477 (1-800-HHS-TIPS), or E-Mail at firstname.lastname@example.com."
"The DCIS, in concert with our law enforcement partners, places a high priority on pursuing allegations of fraud involving the Defense Department's health care system, to ensure that America's Warfighters receive top quality health care, while preserving precious taxpayer dollars," said John F. Khin, Special Agent in Charge, Southeast Field Office, Defense Criminal Investigative Service.
The allegations resolved by this settlement arose from a whistleblower lawsuit filed under the False Claims Act by Leslie Johnson, a former employee of Duke PRMO, LLC d/b/a Patient Revenue Management Organization. Duke PRMO is controlled by Duke University Hospital System, and provides billing, collection, and administrative services to Duke University Health System.
This case was handled by the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina, the North Carolina Attorney General's Office, Medicaid Investigations Division, the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General, and the Department of Defense Criminal Investigative Service. The government's investigation was led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua B. Royster and North Carolina Assistant Attorney General Stacy M. Race.
The lawsuit is captioned United States of America and State of North Carolina ex rel. Leslie Johnson v. Duke University Health System, Inc, et al., 5:12-CV-822-BO. The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

A Bright Sunny July Day…
The back yard of the estate transformed into a glistening array of crystal, china, candelabras and four foot tall floral arrangements on each table. The Bride and Groom anticipating a meeting of cultures as their families travel many miles to share in the joy.
Both families spoke different languages and initially smiles were all they could communicate. Interacting became difficult, until a sudden downpour brought everyone together in an act that was a wonder to see.
One hundred and twenty guests in their wedding finery picking up their chairs, helping to move tables, carrying floral arrangements… An impromptu, intimate dining room created under the front portico.
Every guest now had stories of how they "saved the wedding" and according to the Bride, the laughter and camaraderie continues to this day.
What can we do for you?

It would be helpful to see how to get the worksheet names in the same order they exist on the worksheet. I have been able to do so using DAO, but that is not working with XLSX files.
Is there a way to not return named ranges and print ranges with this code?

It was certainly a night of fine music as local band 'Gogosimo' took to the stage on Thursday evening at the Louis Leakey auditorium, National Musuems of Kenya.
The band headlined by Susan Wanjiru and James Jozee gave a superb performance belting out songs from their hit albums.
Emceed by Maqbul Mohammed, the event was one that showed the true talent of the band. They brought the house day receiving standing ovations every so often and it was quite evident why they are one of the best bands in the country.
Isaiah Katumwa, Uganda's finest jazz maestro was untouchable and in a class of his own as he jazzed up the venue. He was one of the featured artiste for the event put together by Quintessentially Lifestyle Kenya.

A movie directed by Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen< read all 3 reviews
FLASHPOINT is the third collaboration between Wilson Yip and Donnie Yen. This is the prequel to the highly successful "SPL: Sha Po Lang" (a.k.a. Killzone, U.S. title). Directed by Wilson Yip with fight choreography directed by Donnie Yen, "FLASHPOINT" looks very promising. How does it compare with one of my favorite action films of 2005, "SPL"?
Synopsis partially derived from the DELTAMAC dvd back cover:
Pre-1997, a hero's story. The timeline is just before Hong Kong was turned back over to China. Police Inspector Jun Ma (Donnie Yen), Serious Crimes Unit. Inspector Ma is fast, precise and brutal - Ma is all-business, his superiors often doesn't agree with his methods. Ma detests crime and his life long nemeses are a Vietnamese gang of three brothers - eldest brother Archer, the bully; second brother Tony (Collin Chou), the cool calculator; youngest brother Tiger (Xing Xu), the fighter. Their skills have seen them grow steadily in the criminal world. In order to further infiltrate the gang and fight them from within, Ma has planted a mole, Wilson ( Louis Koo), who has managed to gain the complete trust of the gang and has become their personal bodyguard. Over the years Wilson has become more and more unhappy with Ma's impulsive and unruly style, their disagreements in their way of working has led to constant arguments and altercations.
Unlike Yip and Yen's other 2 collaborations, SPL and Dragon Tiger Gate, "Flash Point" is all business. It is a straight-forward action film, losing all excess "meat" like intricate storytelling and character development. Donnie Yen once again reprises his role as Inspector Ma, the film is made for Donnie Yen fans--it is all Donnie!! If you're an action fan, then this film will satisfy. The result is "more style than substance". At least, it is not pretentious to resort to canned melodrama, it doesn't attempt to impress with complex emotions and doesn't do anything fancy. It isn't a perfect film, it has a very simple motive: to entertain us with "popcorn" action entertainment.
One fault that the film may have is that the villains; Tony and Tiger are skilled martial artists in real life but they are pretty much one-dimensional villains with the usual stereotype. Although Tony (Collin Chou, Matrix Reloaded) is shown as a skilled fighter, his character is a bit uninteresting. Another is that the police force is so inept in protecting witnesses. It seemed so unreal that Wilson's girlfriend (Beautiful Fan Bing-Bing) would be so unprotected. Also, what is up with movies portraying cops as lacking in common sense? Sometimes, it really bothers me that movies nowadays, cops are being portrayed to be so untrained in dealing with dangerous situations just so the screenplay can get to where it wants to go. The plotline in Flashpoint is unimaginative and pretty routine. The plot is so stripped down that "simple" is an understatement.
Thankfully, to the film's credit, the film does deliver in the action sequences. Yen is his usual "COOL-over-acting" self. Yen is an actor who likes to show off and his acting abilities may oftentimes be lacking, Donnie Yen is still being Donnie Yen with his bit of over-acting. He eats up the screen with the film's final fight finale, Yen is intense and enraged, righteously focused and skillful in the encounter and most of all: Fonzie-cool. The Martial Arts fight is very well done, and stays within the realm of Inspector Ma's character in SPL. Yen uses the usual mixed martial arts style of Boxing, furious kicks and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The fights are fast-paced and visually stunning, it certainly entertains with maximum impact. As with SPL, the fights are filled with intensity that you could almost feel every bone-breaking hit (and misses). Collin Chou is to be credited that his caliber as a martial artist makes him a worthy opponent. Like him or not, Donnie Yen does have the presence of an intense, highly skilled fighter, he is quite convincing as a butt-kicking action hero. He is ultra-cool in the final fight finale, which in my observation, sometimes Donnie Yen tends to make too much effort in looking cool; the fights may feel unrealistic but still looks pretty stylish and intensely entertaining.
Action fans will definitely embrace "FLASHPOINT". It is far from perfect, but with its "pure" screen action sequences, it does entertain and is never boring. Sometimes, viewers just want action and the fight sequences on display is hard-hitting and tough enough to satisfy those fans. The plot is hollow and a bit sloppy; "FLASHPOINT" will definitely NOT unseat "SPL: Sha Po Lang" as the BEST Wilson Yip-Donnie Yen collaboration. With its truly unforgettable Yen-Wu Jing alleyway duel/Sammo Hung-Yen final fight, SPL outshines everything `Flashpoint" has to offer. As an action film, Flash Point is a satisfying enough diversion. This prequel could have been so much better, but thankfully, it is NOT much, much worse.
RECOMMENDED! For action fanatics...[4 stars]

The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) pattern is one option that allows California community college transfer students to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements of any California State University (CSU) campus.
The curriculum consists of a 39-unit pattern with five areas of concentration described in the CSU GE pattern.
For assistance in determining the most appropriate general education program, consult a counselor.
California State University General Education Breadth Course List
A minimum of nine semester units in both oral and written communication in the English language, and in critical thinking and reasoning. AP credit may not be used for A.3.
A minimum of nine semester units including instruction in physical (B.1) and life science (B.2) and instruction in math/quantitative reasoning (B.4). One of the two science courses from B.1 or B.2 must include a lab. Courses with a lab are shown with an asterisk (*) and separate lab courses are listed in B.3.
A minimum of nine semester units among the arts, literature, philosophy and foreign languages. Every attempt should be made to include western and non-western cultures. At least one course must be taken from arts and one from humanities.
A minimum of nine semester units dealing with human social, political, and economic institutions and behavior and their historical background. Fulfillment of this requirement must include courses taken in at least two disciplines. Every effort should be made to include western or non-western cultures. See notes below for information concerning additional requirements.
A minimum of three semester units in study designed to equip human beings for lifelong understanding and development of themselves as integrated physiological and psychological entities. A maximum of one unit of credit is allowed for physical education activity courses in this area.
The California State University, before awarding a degree, requires students to complete courses or examinations that address:
This requirement may be fulfilled at a California Community College prior to transfer by completing a combination of courses that satisfies all three areas of the requirement. The requirement may also be completed at a CSU campus after transfer. Courses approved in two US areas may be used to satisfy both areas.
Although this requirement is not part of the General Education requirements for CSU, all students must complete course work in U.S. History, Constitution and Government before graduation from a CSU campus. The courses may also be used to partially fulfill Area D of the CSU General Education Breadth requirements.
Completion of these courses at Bakersfield College is recommended and is not required for Certification.
Students who wish to meet these requirements at Bakersfield College prior to transferring to a CSU campus may take up to six semester units from the combinations below.
POLS B1 and one of the following: HIST B17a, B17b, B20a, B20b, B30a B30b, B36, or HIST B17a and POLS B1 or POLS B12 or HIST B18.
Official notification from a California community college that a transfer student has completed courses fulfilling lower-division general education requirements occurs through a process of "certification." Certification is a legal agreement between the CSU and California Community Colleges.
It is the policy of Bakersfield College to provide certification of general education breadth requirements when such service is requested by the student or whenever a student requests that a
transcript be sent to a CSU or UC if the student has completed all of 39 units for certification. Certification of general education courses is generally requested when the CSU GE pattern has been completed.

France's long-awaited bioethics bill is to be subjected to a thorough overhaul which could delay or even derail it. The bill, which proposed one of the world's most comprehensive bioethics laws, is under pressure from objectors on several fronts. What constitutes consent for organ donation and the bill's proposals for genetic screening have come in for particular criticism.
Francois Fillon, the country's new minister for research, announced a review of the bill last week at his first news conference. The result of more than four years' debate, the bill addresses a broad range of issues including gene therapy, embryo research, IVF, organ donation and screening for genetic diseases.
Fillon, an anti-Maastricht member of the right-wing RPR party, has appointed a fellow deputy, Jean-Francois Mattei, to re-examine the bill. Mattei has already voiced strong views about the bill: for example, he has claimed that it sanctions eugenics because it allows for ...

But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad, we had some time to spend together.

|King's College
|Minute Book
|Manuscript, 1 volume, January 13, 1752-May 5, 1756
|By an act of the provincial assembly in 1751, ten trustees were appointed to establish a college by investing the proceeds of a lottery and to find a location for the proposed school; the school thus formed was King's College, a name that was to be changed in 1784 to Columbia. The minutes of those trustees, written in two secretarial hands, record not only the financial affairs, but also the religious and political controversy that arose over the degree of influence that the Church of England would have in the new school. The minute book entries end six months before the final settlement of the controversy and the transfer of the trustees' funds and authority to the forty-two member "board of governors" that administered King's College under the first charter. Entries include a copy of the letter, dated January 7, 1754, to Dr. Samuel Johnson, asking him to accept the position of "chief Master or head of our Seminary."

Hank Paulson Does Global Warming
A recent editorial by former Goldman Sachs CEO and (George W.) Bush administration Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson in the New York Times called attention to the issue of global warming. In the piece Mr. Paulson related global warming to the 'global financial crisis' for which he bears some personal responsibility from his role at GS. He also called on an amorphous 'we' to take concerted action to avert climate catastrophe. While the issue is real and in dire need of rectification it is part of a larger set of social and environmental ills that need to be addressed in integrated fashion for solutions to be effective. And left largely unexplored in the back-and-forth press account of Mr. Paulson's thesis is the causal link between the twin 'crises' he identifies and global capitalism run amok.
The piece was met with pragmatic 'strategizing' over the political feasibility of a tax on carbon emissions— Mr. Paulson's call to arms, versus 'cap and trade,' the George H.W. Bush era 'market based' plan to trade these emissions as a commodity under the premise that giving pollution rights a price would limit pollution. The limited number of 'politically feasible' solutions put forward— two, is a dead giveaway that the fix is in. And the near avalanche of global warming denialism unleashed by the piece yet again called into question the ability of climate science to possess the historical understanding needed to correctly deduce 'our' place in millions of years of climate fact, as if related evidence of broad environmental catastrophe weren't in such presence that all who have eyes can see it. Together this strongly suggests that the 'pragmatic' strategy of viewing global warming in isolation serves to preclude effective solutions.
Chart (1) above: Capitalist 'reformers' and global warming skeptics both depend on limiting the scope of available evidence to eternally debatable climate 'science.' What isn't debatable is the cumulative environmental impact of capitalist production more broadly considered. Illustrated above by the black dots are the oceanic 'dead zones' surrounding the older industrial capitalist nations. Simply put, industrial capitalism has used rivers, streams and oceans as industrial toilets in the same way it has used the atmosphere. Climate change is but one aspect of already existing environmental catastrophe. Given the integrated nature of the biosphere environmental resolution must likewise be integrated. Source: Scientific American.
The use of the analogy of global warming to the 'financial crisis' is instructive on a number of levels. Major Wall Street banks behind the 'crisis' directly owned or had captive or near captive relations with the mortgage 'lenders' that acted as middlepersons to funnel overwhelmingly predatory loans to Wall Street's 'securitization' machine. This system of finance made hundreds of billions of dollars for connected insiders while effectively destroying Western economies for a decade or more. The myth of resolution, of august white guys feverishly meeting to decide 'the fate of the world,' was in fact the same connected insiders who created the mess reviving the system of predatory finance that produced the looting in the first place. With history as a guide, the times between the last three crises caused by finance run amok have each been put forward as resolution when the trajectory of catastrophe is ever larger and more economically destructive. With broad evidence of environmental catastrophe in hand 'we' are out of time for plutocratic shell games.
To the uninitiated, cap-and-trade has been in place in Europe for fifteen years and it is a demonstrated scam. It is easy to game, has perverse incentives and has no global enforcement mechanism. In short, neo-liberal free marketers had their chance with cap-and-trade and time is up. Mr. Paulson's solution of a carbon tax likewise depends on disincentives rather than proscription— on economic cat-and-mouse games rather than simply forcing polluters to stop polluting. The theoretical frame of the tax is that 'we,' the world broadly considered, created the social and environmental catastrophes of global capitalism and that raising the market price through a tax will lead 'us' to pollute less. The problem with this frame is that it is a self-serving misdirection from the capitalist West, that it isolates global warming from the broad range of related environmental consequences of capitalist production and that it makes no direct relation between the creation of environmental catastrophe and those who bear its consequences.
Chart (2) above: In addition to the oceanic dead zones surrounding capitalist countries where all life has been extinguished the great oceans of the world are becoming so clogged with garbage that their navigation is being impacted. A 'vortex' of garbage 'the size of Texas' contains 'patches' so large that it takes ships days to get around them. Given the role that oceans play in the integrated biosphere these 'patches' of garbage are more than simply a nuisance— they reduce the capacity for 'natural' restoration of the broader environment including global warming. Source NOAA.
The issue of 'incentives' needs to be addressed because it is the fundamental canon of Western economics. With minimal digression, the frame of capitalist economics is of localized 'choice' in the context of a global 'state of nature.' Incentives are theorized to direct choice in one direction or another. Without 'incentives' the choice might be between a Ford and a Chevrolet. With incentives the choice might be re-directed to be between a hybrid car and a gas guzzling SUV. In the first place, the 'state of nature' that is global political economy is anything but 'natural'— it has taken three centuries of imperial relations to engineer the dependencies at work in modern political economy. Secondly, the implied premise that under any configuration of the world seven billion people could drive hybrid cars is a Western bourgeois hallucination. If the notion is extended that 'the world' can live Western 'lifestyles' and still have an environment hospitable to life its implausibility is made evident. Finally, the fact of these engineered dependencies explained from the bottom up, as the result of choosing Coke over Pepsi a very large number of times, leaves the insipid cadavers responsible for the mess they've created to determine the solutions.
Graph (1) above: The U.S., industrial Europe (Germany, France), Britain and Japan are the capitalist countries surrounded by oceanic dead zones in Chart (1) above. These are also collectively the largest emitters of greenhouse gases over the twentieth century. Far and away the U.S. bears the most responsibility for global warming. When Hank Paulson or Barack Obama speak of a collective global 'we' responsible for creating and resolving global warming this deflects culpability from the conspicuous culprits. The U.S. has spent the last century and a half engineering dependence to industrial production. There is no resolution of global warming and its related environmental dysfunction possible without radically restructuring Western capitalist production beginning with the U.S. Sources: The World Bank and the World Resources Institute.
The issue of engineered dependencies is real and must be addressed as part of any integrated solution to environmental catastrophe. Fossil fuel is an engineered dependence— American industrialists, militarists, merchants and their lobbyists have participated in decisions like zoning for low and mid-density suburbs versus high density cities, building roads and highways versus mass transit, industrial agriculture versus sustainable local production, to create a world where 'we' are dependent on cars, fossil fuels and highways to work, travel and buy goods and services largely produced by others. Without restructuring political economy away from these engineered dependencies any efforts toward environmental resolution will create instant social catastrophes like widespread unemployment and crippling poverty. But the fitting analogy is of the person who set the house on fire offering to put it out for a price. The Western economist's 'choice' between a Ford and a Chevrolet, or even between a hybrid car and an SUV, is not the collective choice between more highways and mass transit.
Conversely, the 'pragmatic' choice of local solutions—a tax on carbon emissions that will raise the price, proceeds from the premise that steps in the direction of environmental resolution are sufficient without outlining what is in fact necessary to be effective. Spraying water from a garden hose onto a forest fire may be a step in the right direction without having a material impact on the spread of the fire. Global warming is but one aspect of an approach to the world— capitalist production, that is increasingly unsustainable. Global warming didn't 'cause' the oceanic dead zones surrounding capitalist countries nor did it produce the vortices of garbage now clogging oceans only a generation ago considered unfathomably large and un-destroyable. Genetically modified foods— another roll-of-the-dice by monopoly capitalists to gain control over global food production, has created all new engineered dependencies for the sake of corporate profits with no consideration given to the potentially catastrophic consequences being unleashed.
If a carbon tax were tied to concrete actions to restructure global political economy for true environmental resolution there would be no issue taken with it here. But these are the facts— catastrophic environmental degradation is inexorably tied to capitalist production. Efforts to incrementally 'reform' this production have a century or more of demonstrated failure behind them and the eternal solution of more capitalism, e.g. cap-and-trade, is at this point so demonstrably ineffective that it can rightly be considered a cynical diversion. Engineered dependencies are the levers used to maintain the status quo— the old industrialist practice of regularly firing workers to keep the work force pliable has been reproduced on a global level to assure that challenges to this status quo are met with the infliction of maximum economic pain. If the carbon tax crowd is sincere let them tie the tax to a holistic approach to environmental resolution.

Malawi Curry PowderBerbereEthiopian Curried ButterEthiopian Chicken StewCurried Beef and BananasPinang-Kerrie
The Dutch colonized South Africa because of its ideal position halfway between the Netherlands and the Spice Islands. It was a perfect outpost for raising the vegetables and livestock necessary to replenish their ships. In 1652, the Dutch East India Company dispatched a party of officials to the Cape to establish a "revictualling station."
"Within fourteen days of their arrival," wrote Renata Coetzee in The South African Culinary Tradition, "these early settlers had laid out a vegetable garden." They planted sweet potatoes, pineapples, watermelons, pumpkins, cucumbers, radishes, and citrus trees such as lemons and oranges.
Ambrosia from the Cape
Late in the seventeenth century, with the "revictualling" station in operation, commerce between the Dutch East India Company and the new Dutch colony of South Africa picked up considerably because of an important commodity: Malay slaves, referred to in South African literature as "the king of slaves." The men were utilized as farmers, carpenters, musicians, tailors, and fishermen, while the women were expert cooks who not only introduced exotic Spice Islands dishes, but also imported the spices necessary to prepare them. Among the Malaysian spices transferred by the slaves to South Africa were anise seed, fennel, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cumin, coriander, mustard seed, tamarind, and garlic. Chiles, of course, were introduced by the Portuguese traders and eventually were disseminated across Africa by birds. Curiously, coconuts--so important in the Spice Islands--do not play a role in South African curries.The Cape Malays, as the slaves' descendants were called, developed a unique cuisine called, by some, "Old Cape Cookery." It evolved into a mixture of Dutch, English, and Malay styles and ingredients--with an emphasis on the Malay. Predominant among the numerous cooking styles were curries and their accompaniments. As early as 1740, "kerrie-kerrie" dishes were mentioned in South African literature. That terminology had changed by 1797, when Johanna Duminy of the Riviersonderend valley, wrote in her diary: "When the evening fell I had the candles lit, the children were given their supper and put to bed. At nine o'clock we are going to have a delicious curry."Johanna's curry probably was milder than that of today in South Africa, because for a time the amounts of chiles and green ginger were greatly reduced for Dutch palates. But the Cape Malays relished the heat, and Harva Hatchen, author of Kitchen Safari pointed out: "Curries are as much a part of Malay cooking as they are of Indian."
Generally speaking, Cape Malay curries usually contain meat and are not as highly spiced with chiles as their Asiatic cousins. Onions and tomatoes are added to achieve a truly thick curry, and sometimes potatoes are placed in the curry for extra body. The Malay curries--usually eaten with the fingers--are a meal in themselves. They are eaten with rice and roti bread as accompaniments and are served with salads, sambals, pickles, and chutneys.
Perhaps the all-time favorite Cape Malay curry is pinang-kerrie, the name thought to be a corruption of pin'dang. It is this curry--flavored with curry spices, tamarind, and fresh orange leaves--that prompted the passionate quotation by the Afrikaans poet C.L. Leipoldt: "There is reason to assume that the ambrosia of which the ancient poets spoke of so often was a kind of ginger chile called pinang curry...." Leipoldt also observed: "Do not suppose that pinang meat is just an ordinary curry."
The Cape Malays, however, were just one of the curry influences on South Africa. The first shipment of indentured Indian laborers arrived in Natal, in the eastern part of the country, on November 16, 1860, to work on the sugar plantations. Within six years, about five thousand Indians were working in Natal, and of course, they brought their Indian curry traditions with them. It seems that the British taste for curries had waned somewhat as the pioneers ventured further from Cape Town.
"They helped re-stimulate the flagging appetite for Far Eastern dishes," explained Laurens Van der Post, in his book, First Catch Your Eland. "Curries again became a regular feature of life in the interior. No week would go by without at least one if not two main curry dishes appearing in the average household." Van de Post noted that nearly everything edible was curried, including head cheese and sheep's heads, feet, and tripe. "The reappearance of curry in the fundamental and most conservative departments of the kitchen of the interior," he wrote, "shows to what depth the Indian influence spread."
The indentured laborers used a spice mix called mussala (an obvious corruption of masala), which is the simplest form of curry powder in South Africa, but its basic ingredients vary considerably. One version contains just turmeric, cumin, and red chile powder, while another is composed of equal amounts of fennel, coriander, cinnamon, and cumin.
Curries are universally loved in South Africa and they cross cultural and racial barriers. In describing the curries of Natal, Laurens Van der Post made a sort of culinary appeal to free South Africa: "Curry in all the forms in which it is done in India is served in hotels and homes and eaten with relish," he wrote, "however strong the colour prejudice of the household in which they are served. If only the heart in South Africa could be governed for a year or two by the national palate, there would be no apartheid or racial prejudice left in the land, because our cooking is the best advertisement the world could possibly offer for a multi-racial society, free of religious, racial, and other forms of discrimination." Fortunately, much has changed in South Africa since he made that comment.

"Rethinking Globalization:
Making it
Work for the Worlds Poor"
Tina Rosenberg
Tina Rosenberg is foreign-policy
editorial writer for the New York Times, currently working
in the Mexico City bureau. She is the author of Children of
Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America and The
Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After Communism.
Globalization was supposed to both
increase the planet's wealth and spread it to the
world's poor. In this talk, Rosenberg looks at whether
it is working. She argues that globalization is not
just good for the poor, it is essential -- no country
has ever gotten wealthy over the long term without
international trade. But, she says, the
antiglobalization protesters are right as well: no
nation has ever developed over the long run under the
rules being imposed on poor countries by those who
control globalization today. Those rules are written by
and for powerful nations and powerful interests within
those nations, mainly the agribusiness, pharmaceutical
and financial services industries. Globalization is
being sabotaged by its own inequities. Unless the
system becomes fairer for the world's have-nots, it
will be ultimately destroyed by the backlash. Rosenberg
sets out new rules to make globalization work for the
world's poor.
Tina Rosenberg has extensive
experience in Latin America. Fluent in Spanish and
having lived in Nicaragua from 1985-1987, Chile from
1987 - 1990, and currently in Mexico City, she is well
prepared to speak on the issues facing that part of the
world, and the concomitant challenges and opportunities
afforded by Globalization. Her books reveal an
impressive ability to get close to the people at many
different levels of society, with intense in-depth
interviews of political leaders, revolutionaries,
business leaders, persons lost in the sea of poverty
and even those tied to the drug cartels and world of
violence. Rosenberg has lived close to those who have
been impacted by world-shaking agreements such as
NAFTA, both positively and negatively. She speaks with
experience, wisdom, and compassion, as she seeks ways
to have all persons benefit from the spread and growth
of the free-market economy.
Rosenberg has been honored as winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the
National Book Award, the Helen Bernstein Award and is a former
MacArthur Fellow. She also contributes to: The New Yorker,
The New York Times magazine, Foreign Affairs,
Rolling Stone, The New Republic and other publications.
Rosenberg received her Bachelor's Degree in Speech and Master's
Degree in Journalism from Northwestern University.

In the new issue of MCM, Mike Lomaka showed off a sketch of a Sidewinder modified to resemble a second-gen Effie. He pointed out some similarities in the front end between the 1996-vintage Dodge concept truck and the production Ford. Guess I'd never noticed or thought about it, but he is right. That particular sketch is now on my workbench.
That got me thinking- that high hood and low fenders that blend into the doors look was pretty much standard for many years on trucks. Early Dodge trucks had that trait, as did IH trucks from '57 to '68. So... that gave me a couple ideas...
First up is the Dodge- I restyled the nose to resemble a '55 model, and added a tuck and roll interior with a bench seat. Why not make the hood a butterfly unit, like on the original '55? I also left on a wispy, 'blade' front bumper, just because its a bit more distinctive than the rolled front pan you'd probably expect to see on such a vehicle. The V10 emblem hints at the show truck's engine being retained, but an early Hemi with EFI disguised as a Hilborn setup would be cooler still. Rob some wheels from an AMT Phantom Vicky and lay it out and you've got a high-end street rod pickup.
And being a lifelong IH truck freak, I HAD to try out this one...
This is based on a '66, and has the familiar, almost VW-esque W in the hood, as well as the air vent at the front of the hood and underneath the grille. This one has big diameter steelies and wide whites, and a more simplified, workmanlike interior, befitting a Binder. For power, a rebuilt Scout 345 would be a pretty cool and offbeat mill to use.
So, now it looks like I'm cooking up two Sidewinder do-overs... Mike's Ford, and my own International.
A few uses for the Revell Sidewinder kit.

Generally, the procedures involved in incorporating a domestic company are applicable when you consider offshore company formation. The incorporating jurisdiction will determine the documents that will need to be prepared. Moreover, you need to fill out and hand over some documents to the relevant government department. Some of these include the address proof of the registered office, legal documentation that supports the company formation, and the designation of the registered agent. Licensed and experienced agents are able to act on behalf of the governmental authorities. These professionals can ensure quick and smooth formation of the company within your desired jurisdiction.
Before dealing with new clients, it is important to have detailed consultations. These discussions are helpful in determining if the service provider is able to offer the necessary services needed by you. To quicken the process and ensure there are delays or hiccups during the incorporation, it is vital to work with an agent that has the knowledge, experience, and expertise in dealing with your chosen offshore location.
Reduced risks
Offshore companies also known as international business organizations or non-resident entities reduce business risks. These legal entities are offered low tax incentives for their benefits. The reduced tax burden provides an advantageous environment of managing the wealth. These beneficial environments make it simpler for companies to manage the ever-increasing risks of doing profitable business. This is also helpful in shielding other assets that may need to be disposed to service tax liabilities. Receiving tax benefits and holidays enhances the company's assets and often resources needed to comply with tax requirements can be used to increase business and profit margins.
Avoiding bureaucracy
Offshore company formation can help in avoiding the endless government red tape. The licensing procedures and rules are clearly laid out. This ensures the application and registration procedures are all completed within the allocated time period. Moreover, the privacy of the investors is safe in offshore locations. Several affluent individuals are attracted by this feature and sponsors can be used as shareholders. There is no requirement of disclosing the identity of the shareholders to third parties without their consent, which is a law even foreign governments cannot circumvent.
Other benefits
Non-resident entities can report profits or losses freely with an increased access to tax treaties, which reduces the operational expenses and relevant fees that in turn are beneficial in increasing profits and yields. Business owners have access to skilled, trained, and experienced offshore manpower and professional experts. The offshore legal system provides legal protection and fair treatment for all parties. The existence of efficient banking operations ensures stabilization of the capital base. Moreover, contractual agreements sanctity is respected in different trade jurisdictions reducing the risks. Custom and duty exemptions provide a better environment for wealth creation with fewer governmental restrictions enhancing international investments. The currency exchange convertibility raises the capital flow and trade mark laws act as a guarantee for the safety of property rights. All these and many more advantages encourage individuals and businesses to incorporate entities in offshore locations.
