The Lebanese community in The Gambia Saturday hosted a dinner to commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in Fajara.
Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Omar Jah Jnr, the deputy vice chancellor of the University of The Gambia (UTG), spoke on the importance of the event, saying that they have learned a lot from the prophet, who has always been the best social, economic and political example across the world.
He further stated that every generation needs his (the prophet's) inspiration and 'Sunna' to make sure that they take him as a solution to their social, economic and political problems.
Dr Jah affirmed that the Prophet (SAW) is the last prophet after one hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets.
He also said that they cannot have any other solution anywhere if they don't go back to the lessons and the examples that the prophet has given to them.
He added that this kind of meeting can also be used to remind the people about Prophet Muhammad.
For his part, Sheikh Rabitl Farhat, the imam of the Lebanese Community, noted that a celebration to commemorate the birth of the holy prophet (SAW) is not only for the Lebanese but also for all Muslims in the world.
Nabil Hamdul, a Lebanese businessman, reiterated that the gathering was meant for Lebanese nationals in The Gambia and also Gambians, to celebrate the birth of the Prophet. He added that it was also meant to make their children happy as they bought them gifts as part of the commemoration.
He prayed for peace to prevail in The Gambia and urged everybody to work with the government in achieving more development in the country.

The Evergreen Park and Recreation District has submitted a preliminary application to build an equipment storage barn in Buchanan Park as part of a previously budgeted capital improvement program.
Last year the district board budgeted $150,000 for a large building for vehicle storage, vehicle repair and park operations offices.
The district was able to obtain a grant for $60,000. The rest will be paid for out of the reserve fund, said executive director John Skeel.
An independent foundation is making scholarship money available for people in need to pay for recreation passes, fitness classes and children's day camp, beginning with the summer season.
Application forms, the summer class schedule and the summer day camps guide is available at www.evergreenrecreation.com. At the bottom of the home page, click on "choose form" for Foundation Scholarship Program Request.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District has selected a California company with offices in Denver to produce a market analysis and feasibility study for a combination community/arts center, at a cost of $36,120.
Economic and Planning Systems Inc. of Denver was chosen from seven candidates that submitted bids for the job of identifying the costs associated with the construction and operation of the proposed center in Buchanan Park.
After a number of complaints about unpaid claims, the Colorado Division of Insurance has issued a cease-and-desist order against a travel insurance company, Prime Travel Protection Services, owned by an Evergreen couple, Christine and Jerry Watson.
Challengers for three seats on the board of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association — who called for more openness and a willingness to embrace alternative energy sources — were soundly defeated in last week's elections.
The three challengers all were endorsed by IREA Voices, a group of co-op members who say IREA is mired in fossil-fuel thinking and lacks transparency in the way it does business.
• In District 7, incumbent George Hier received 3,899 votes, to 1,862 for Charles Bucknam.
Electrical power was largely restored in Evergreen by Wednesday in the wake of last weekend's massive snowstorm.
Technicians were forced to go home and get their snowshoes to reach some of the problem areas, an Xcel spokesman said Tuesday. Many residents were without power for at least three days, but most of the power was restored by Monday night.
The huge, wet spring snowstorm dumped from 3 to 4 feet of snow on the mountains of Jefferson County over the weekend and closed Interstate 70 from Golden to East Vail from Friday afternoon to Saturday.
Seeing smoke around Mount Falcon Park today?
Don't panic. Jefferson County Open Space natural resource crews are taking advantage of the snow-covered park to burn slash piles.
"It was an opportunity to burn the slash piles," said Thea Rock, spokesperson for Jeffco Open Space. "The snow on the ground contains the fire."
Burnings started Monday and ended Wednesday.
Rock said she didn't know if any other burns are scheduled at this time.
About 4,000 people were without power on Monday morning in Evergreen in the wake of the weekend storm, down from a peak of 11,000.
Joe Fuentes, spokesman for Xcel Energy, said the power company deployed about 30 crews from all over the Denver area to help restore power to individual homes on Monday.
Results should be available this week in pivotal elections for three seats on the board of the Intermountain Rural Electric Association.
The three challengers all have been endorsed by IREA Voices, a group of co-op members who say IREA is mired in fossil-fuel thinking and lacks transparency in the way it does business.
In District 5, challenger John Masson is facing off against incumbent Bruff Shea; in District 3, Mike Galvin is challenging Gene Sperry; and in District 7, Charles Bucknam is seeking to unseat George Hier.
As former Columbine teacher Alan Cram handed out candles Sunday evening for a vigil to remember those who died on April 20, 1999, he pondered the lessons of the tragedy 10 years later.
"I'm still concerned about the kids," Cram said. "It's too easy to let kids go off and do their thing. Without having support, it's pretty lonely out there. We need to be available for them."

Easter Sunday Fashion Inspiration | 2014
Egg Hunts and Roasts await! Easter Sunday is only weeks away and it is that time to start thinking about what you are going to wear. Call us old fashioned but we believe that every holiday should be accompanied with a stand out, special occasion holiday get-up. And lets be honest, our Moms love to see us all dressed up. Easter can be a tricky holiday because it is in Spring and it can sometimes call for a lightweight summer suit. Most of us have professional suiting but not all of us have Easter Savvy suiting in linens, cottons or seersuckers.
Not to worry. We have some inspiration looks that aren't just Easter specific. Invest in a lightweight summer suit that you can wear to summer weddings, vacation dinners and Easter Sundays. We recommend white, tan or light gray. For a more neutral look, we recommend pairing a summer suit with an ivory textured tie or a solid navy tie. And for a more colorful look we recommend:

CASINO BEACH HISTORY History
The sand along Lake Worth holds a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s. The shoreline is full of memories of laughter, dancing, and good times. Memories began rolling in 1916 when the City of Fort Worth saw the land along the shore as a viable swimming hole and bathing beach. Click the decades below to read about Casino Beach through the years.
In 1927, after seeing the volume of people who were attracted to the beach, a group of entrepreneurs saw the potential for this land and developed a plan to create the largest amusement park in Texas. The company leased the land and built a playground, which included: rides, a boardwalk, bathhouse, swimming area, and a large ballroom, Casino Park was born.
Casino Park was known for having the largest rollercoaster in the southwest, "The Thriller," as well as other small roller coasters and small trains for children to ride. This quickly turned the local swimming hole into a destination spot for people everywhere. There was a boardwalk full of concessions, merry-go-rounds and games for children of all ages.
In its second season, high winds during a storm started a fire that burned the ballroom, bathhouse and many concessions. The contractors were awarded insurance money and quickly began rebuilding. The park reopened in June 1930, and despite the Great Depression, people still flocked to Casino Park for their entertainment.
Casino Park was in bankruptcy and the city took Smith to court for back taxes and unpaid rent. Despite the legal issues, the park continued to remain open. Unfortunately, as the years went on, the legal battle continued, and sections of the park began to be torn down. After the 4th of July boardwalk collapse, a contract was awarded for the remaining portion to be removed. The bathhouse remained, and the dancehall continued to host singers like, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller, and Ted Weems.
Then in April 1943, a fire blazed through the beach once again and burned the bathhouse to ashes. Replacement costs were significantly higher than what was received in insurance money, so it was not rebuilt. With the bathhouse gone, the swimming beach was in jeopardy and a large liability; so in April 1947, the City of Fort Worth took it over and continued the legal battle with Mr. Smith regarding the due back taxes.
In 1948 George T. Smith retired from Casino Park and turned full ownership over to the City of Fort Worth. The city managed the property until 1949 when a plane made an emergency landing at Meacham Field, and a passenger, Jerry Starnes, decided to venture to Casino Park to see the Lake Worth Casino Ballroom that he had heard so much about. Starnes was amazed with the dilapidated condition and once again saw potential for the dusty gem. He signed a lease with the City of Fort Worth to take over Casino Beach.
Unfortunately, with television gaining popularity, the demand for big bands began to decline. Starnes began his own lawsuit battles with the City of Fort Worth for back rent and unpaid concession percentages. A former financial partner for Casino Park left the Ballroom and established another large ballroom closer to downtown Fort Worth, and away from the Jacksboro Hwy, which had become known for its gangster and gambling activity. With the legal issues and decline in success, Starnes and his partners decided to sell the Ballroom.
It was remodeled in 1965 for a total of $90,000, but when rock and roll bands gained popularity, they demanded higher fees and the Ballroom had little to offer and couldn't break even.
Now while the old history is remembered, Casino Beach Partners is excited to begin a new chapter in the Casino Beach history books. Our planned development includes; a Ferris Wheel, riverboat, boardwalk, restaurants, marina, and a brand new Casino Beach Hall. We want to create and enhance the economic growth in and around Lake Worth, while creating an outdoor experience for the residents and visitors of the Lake Worth community.

Along the way, Sofia discovers that looking like a Princess isn't all that difficult, but possessing the characteristics of a true Princess - honesty, loyalty, courage, independence, compassion and grace - is what makes one truly royal. Helping her in her Journey are the three headmistresses of Royal Prep Academy - Fauna, Flora and Merryweather (the beloved fairies seen in Disney's classic "Sleeping Beauty"); the royal steward, Baileywick; and a group of cute woodland creatures led by a wise-talking rabbit named Clover. Classic Disney Princesses Ariel, Aurora, Belle and Jasmine make special appearances in event episodes to offer Sofia words of wisdom - Princess to princess.

Overall Experience
More than enough
June 21, 2015
After being disappointed with my stay in the Killeen area, I was extremely skeptical and hesitant about staying at another Candlewood Suites. I'm glad I gave this location a chance! Overall great Service, the staff was very helpful and friendly. Ensured I had everything I needed. I had to extend my stay and didn't have any issues and they were able to allow me to keep the same rate. They didn't wait until my stay was almost over, they ensured I had enough towels. I would defiantly stay at this location again if I am in the area.
Friendly staff. Good shower. Cool A/C.
June 16, 2015
The staff was GREAT. The shower was HOT. The A/C was PERFECT as it chilled our room while the Texas heat beat down outside. There were only two issues during our stay: 1) mattress was horrible and 2) on our third day in our room --- we killed a giant cockroach. No big deal... only one... that we saw. Otherwise, it was a good hotel and we will return a second time.
Comfortable bed and great service.
June 15, 2015
Will always stay here when in town. So much to do in town and staff is really pleasent to be around and more than helpfull
Unbeatable Value
June 08, 2015
This was by far the best hotel value I have encountered, ever. The amenities, staff, and rooms were all of high caliber.. the kind you expect to see when staying at a hotel twice the price.
It would be a good idea to somehow separate the laundry room from the fitness center. It got devastatingly hot in the fitness center from the dryers running in the laundry room, and there was no way to fix that as a guest.
Overall though, this is a fantastic hotel. Thank you for the great experience! I'd stay here again.

- Details
- Admission
On Saturday, August 17, Bard College at Simon's Rock welcomed its 46th class of freshmen from around the country and the world. One hundred and forty seven strangers arrived at the early college with at least one thing in common: each one of them left high school early to start college when they felt ready.
What makes this event so remarkable is not that it was the first day of college, but that it happened a year, two years, and even three years earlier than expected. High school must have seemed miles away as Provost Peter Laipson welcomed students to campus, offering a snapshot of the entering class in his remarks.
The entering class of 2013 shares many things in common. They've been on student council and Model UN, rowed crew, played soccer, fenced, wrote poetry, made films, took photographs, and developed video games. They are STEM students and robotics competitors, artists, musicians, and singers. They've helped their communities, aided their environment, and supported fellow students as tutors and leaders. In sheer numbers they are 60% female, 40% male, 12% first generation, 11% international, and 34% students of color.
And like Rockers before them, our newest class has embraced challenges, taken risks, and had the courage to question the status quo. They saw an opportunity to challenge themselves and seized it. At Simon's Rock they finally found a community of like-minded peers.
For those of us in Admission, it's a thrill to welcome the newest Rockers. We watch with a sense a pride as individuals come together as a united class. We've worked with these amazing young people and their families from the first moment they learned of Simon's Rock, for some well over a year ago. It is such a privilege to see what once was only a dream or a hope come to fruition on a gorgeous summer day in the Berkshires.

I remember my own arrival, as one of those early early students i.e. should have been going to 10th grade, but went to the Rock instead! Meeting people from all different backgrounds and cultures was an amazing growing experience for me. Best decision I made in 1980. Thanks for sharing!0 Like

Tried and tested: foundations of the future
When did shopping for makeup turn into a science lesson? The secret to a flawless face used to be water, fresh air and eating apples while frolicking in the middle of a cornfield; now, there is a positive laboratory's worth of fancy-pants formulas waiting to take our skin from nice to NASA-approved.
The upper end of the cosmetics market has long been home to mystifying science-baffle, with all their 'nanotechnology' this and 'kelp minerals' that. But now the effect is leaking onto the humble high street, and one trip to Boots is like double A-level chemistry all over again.
So here at ShinyStyle, we've done your homework for you with a round-up of the new, space-age and downright fruity foundations on the market. There are 'photochromatic pigments' doing battle with blue sapphire and ginger extract in a bid to make us look like Zooey Daschanel. Textures are getting exciting too, with mousses, creams, minerals and 'soufflés' all competing with the traditional liquid as the best way to give good face. But does the most futuristic blurb necessarily mean the best results?
Revlon PhotoReady Makeup – £12.99 for 30ml – 6/10
They say: "Get poreless airbrushed skin in any light. Photochromatic pigments bend and reflect light to erase every flaw."
We say: This has a nicer texture than most liquid foundations, but still felt a little sticky while drying. As for the 'photochromatic pigments', there was a radiant shimmer but the colour tended a little too dangerously towards the oompa loompa for our tastes.
Loreal Matte Morphose – £9.99 for 30ml – 8/10
They say: "A transformation you can see and feel, with a 12hour luminous matte finish. Pores and wrinkles look smoother."
We say: Yum. With its lovely moussey texture, this self-proclaimed 'soufflé foundation' made us think of dessert (but be warned, it doesn't taste as good as it looks). The colours all looked a little dark, but went on smoothly and blended beautifully well on the skin. Somewhere between foundation, powder, concealer and pudding, it gave particularly good coverage under the eyes.
Max Factor Second Skin – £13.99 for 30ml – 5/10
They say: "Now you can create a finish so flawless it's virtually undetectable even to the professionals…Second Skin uses clever multi-tonal pigment technology to smooth over and blend flawlessly into your own natural complexion in seconds."
We say: Now, we don't know about you, but if we wanted our makeup to be 'virtually undetectable', we just wouldn't bother buying any. More a tinted moisturiser than a foundation, this was beautifully silky and slipped on nicely, but the ultra-sheer 'second skin' effect was a little too much like our first skin (the one we're trying to cover up in the first place). Only the flawless need apply.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation – £9.99 for 30ml – 4/10
They say: "Gives you 70% more radiance and a flawless complexion for up to 16 hours. With 'fruit therapy', including apricot for radiance, melon for hydration, apple for antioxidants and ginger for energy."
We say: Hmm, does this count as one of our five a day? Despite all the science claims, the only fruity grounds this foundation delivered on was looking orange. It felt sticky going on, and the finish was powdery and unsubtle. Think we'll keep the fruit for eating, thanks.
Boots 17 Hide and Chic Anti-Fatigue foundation – £5.99 for 30ml – 2/10
They say: "Energises and brightens your skin."
We say: Sadly, the cheapest of the bunch was also the most disappointing. Far from brightening skin as promised, we found our pores looked clogged and cakey. There was even a worrying return of our old teenage nemesis, the tidemark. Best left on the 17 year olds.
Maybelline Dream Creamy foundation – £7.99 for 14g – 9/10
They say: "Our new cream-whipped foundation for 100% baby smooth perfection. The combination of rich hydration in a lightweight formula blends seamlessly for 100% smooth perfection for a foundation that stays looking fresh all day.
We say: Maybelline dish up baby-fresh beauty for those of us who maybe aren't born with it. Like couture for your face, this was cool and lightweight but its creamy solid-to-liquid texture gave reassuringly good coverage. In short? Lush.
Rimmel Match Perfection – £8.99 for 30ml – 7/10
They say: "Adapts to your skin colour and texture, with blue sapphire pigments for true colour. Give a natural flawless finish."
We say: Why do advertisers always think the way to sell to women is to tell us that there are jewels in our cosmetics? If we had a pound for every 'pearl-infused' conditioner and 'diamond technology' facial we've been offered, we'd have enough to buy some actual jewellery. But annoying faux-tech blurb aside, this was a pretty good performer. It was sheer but not too sheer, didn't look powdery or orange on the skin, and gave lovely natural coverage.
Boots No.7 Essentially Natural Mineral foundation – £13.00 for 40ml – 8/10
They say: "Lightweight hydration for a healthy-looking finish."
We say: Cool, nicely textured and lightweight to wear, this actually did what it said on the tin (or tube, whatever). Not the sheerest of coverage, but skin looked flawless and felt moisturised and peachy.

Mr. Robert Sirleaf, the Chairman of the National Oil Company of Liberia or NOCAL, may be a very strong-hearted man, not because he chairs the Board of the lucrative oil company, but simply because of his ability to play down repeated calls for his resignation to safe himself the headache.
And what makes his resistance more interesting is that many of his mother's (President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf) critics see him as an easy prey to criticize her policies and even launch stinking attacks at her leadership style.
So, Tuesday July 30, 2013 was no exception when fellow Nobel Laureate, Layma Gbowee, who now appears to be one of President Sirleaf's most vocal critics, after her short spell as head of the National Reconciliation Commission renewed call for his resignation.
Ms. Gbowee told her Truth FM Talk Show hosts that if President Sirleaf means well for her fight against massive theft in Government here then she must as well dismiss her son as head of NOCAL Board. Gbowee said the presence of Mr. Sirleaf as head of NOCAL Board is a recipe for the ongoing corruption within government.
Ms. Gbowee said until President Sirleaf can dismiss her son, and show an example by prosecuting, for instance the recently dismissed duo Auditor General Robert Kilby and the former GSA boss Pearine Parkinson, then her declared war on corruption is still a joke.
"Mr. Robert Sirleaf was doing well as Senior Advisor in the Office of the President," Ms. Gbowee said. Ms. Gbowee told her audience that the only thing President Sirleaf's government can boast of is the road networks that are been constructed throughout the country but that the President has failed to address the issues of education and other social needs of the Liberian people.
She said the president has forgotten so soon about what she spoke and fought against in past regimes. "I'm surprise to see Madam Sirleaf encouraging these same things like nepotism and corruption in her government- the very things she fought against in the past," Ms. Gbowee said.
Gbowee, whom others have described as having a political ambition also criticized the General Auditing Commission saying they are jokers and there are no aggressive auditing unfolding there at the moment, while suggesting that it gets finance autonomy.

Days after a terrorist bombing killed three and injured more than 150 at the historic Boston Marathon, Jackson marathon runner and race organizer John Sewell says runners will band and bond together in the coming weeks to overcome the "terrible tragedy."
"When you think about a crowd of people out on a beautiful spring day to watch one of the greatest athletic events in the world (and) in the matter of an instant its totally shattered… as a parent my heart breaks for the family that lost their son," Sewell tells the MBJ.
The spokesman for the 26-mile Mississippi Blues Marathon, the state's largest running event, says the Jackson marathon draws runners from around the country and world just like the Boston Marathon.
Registration for the 2014 race was announced this week for the race which has been sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi since its founding in 2008.
More than 3,000 runners from 46 states and ten countries registered for this year's event which was held last January.
Sewell said security has always been a part of the race from guarding on-site equipment at the start and finish lines to working with Jackson and Hinds County law enforcement officers to protect runners and spectators during the event.
"Our number-one concern is runner safety," says Sewell. "We have a course marshal at every intersection to watch traffic and watch over runners. We want to do everything within our power to make sure that the Blues Marathon is a safe event for runners and spectators."
Sewell has run the Country Music Marathon in Nashville and the Georgia Marathon in Atlanta and says that races like that with crowds of 15 to 20,000 people make it difficult for organizers to handle logistics. "The challenges multiply exponentially," he says.
Sewell adds that one could never predict something like a terrorist bombing and that he hopes and prays nothing like that would ever happen again even as he begins to prepare for next year's marathon.
"You try to do everything you can to be prepared. Will we think about it… sure," he says.
Part of the preparation for any race always includes having medical personnel to deal with everything from racing injuries or heat exhaustion.
Sewell said Jackson cardiologist Rick Guynes has served as the medical director for the race and that he was helping out at the Boston Marathon at the time of the bombing.
"We knew that the folks on the scene had one of the state's best physicians helping them," he says.

Pour boiling-hot water over tea bags and let brew 15 minutes. Discard tea bags and cool tea 1 hour, then stir in juice. Serve over ice.
I liked it because i love lemony iced teas, however i found that i had to add a little sugar substitute like Splenda. I also tried it with a few sprigs of mint with the tea bags before the boiling water, and it was super refreshing.

The Best Ice Cream, Gelato, and Soft Serve in NYC
I'm allowed to cry about the fact that only two (three if you count Shake Shack) of these are located above 14th street, right? Right.
I like to take pictures of vegetables. When I'm not doing that, I'm singing.
I'm allowed to cry about the fact that only two (three if you count Shake Shack) of these are located above 14th street, right? Right.
We won't be in Tel Aviv on a Wed/Thurs, so I've suggested Abarksas North to my family. Thanks again for the help!
Yep, I already looked at that! But I'm really looking for recommendations for sit-down dinners.
Thanks @aronh! We're actually only going to be in Tel Aviv for 2 nights, so give me your best recommendations. We are very adventurous eaters - normally we eat a lot of fish and seafood, but are open to everything. One high-end restaurant and one more moderately priced would be great!
If you have recommendations in Jerusalem and elsewhere, I'd love to hear those too.
Kefi for sure. It is just reliably excellent.
Had an excellent meal at Mountain Bird during the snowstorm a few weeks ago, and I want to go back.
Jin Ramen.
Bodrum, even with its weird Turkish/pizza hybrid menu.
Bar Boulud.
Land Thai.
Baking for college kids - parents who don't bake purchase sets, and then I send cookies/brownie care packages to their (neglected) kids.
I had a weird flat drawer in my kitchen that was originally used for utensils, but I turned it into a spice drawer. Spices are alphabetical, except for the things in weirdly shaped containers that get stuffed in the back.
Thomas Keller, chilling at home, makin' oysters and pearls, no bigs.
Pepperidge farm cubes, doctored with onion, leek, celery, carrot, mushroom, chestnut. I'm trying to convince my mom to let me put oysters in it this Thanksgiving since our Rabbi isn't attending for the first time in 20 years!
Another endorsement for Emeril's nonstick pans, done by all-clad - mine have held up very, very well.
How I know I'm doing well at being a food-person: these are all the places I go in my neighborhood.
I would add Bar Boulud for its good prix-fixe, and Luke's Lobster for the best roll around.
That's great! Thanks, everyone, for the recs. Ommegang definitely makes the list.
@Kenji - word! I had no idea about that case!
From a legal perspective: Milk Burger can copy Shake Shack's recipes all they want. Recipes are not copyrightable, and unless Meyer has patented some processes or made something a trade secret, he likely would not recover from an intellectual property perspective on the food.
However, he certainly has a case for copyright infringement of the website. It's word-for-word. And there's a decent trade dress argument to be made, as well. The menu emulates the design feel of the Shake Shack menu, which might be actionable. (Unfortunately, the closest case there is on this is the Ed's Lobster Bar/Pearl Oyster Bar bruhaha which settled out of court - no precedent!)
Losing H&H means losing one of my first NY food memories: the day I was old enough to stand in line by myself while mom went across the street to get a number at the fish counter at zabar's. "2 dozen: 6 sesame, 6 everything, 6 onion, 3 poppy, 3 pumpernickel, and the extras in cinnamon raisin, please." I was so proud. I was also maybe 8 or 9, and thought I was good at playing a cool city kid.
I'll go up to absolute more often now.
I buy em at citarella. For 4 crabs, melt 2-3 tbsp butter in a sauté pan. Dredge crabs in flour seasoned w salt and pepper. Smash 3-4 cloves of garlic and sauté for about 4 minutes, moving around. Sauté crabs for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown on each.
This is my favorite prep. So simple, so good.
I think I've eaten over 100 brunches at Sarabeth's. I'm not even kidding. But Adam, you are so so so so wrong: the only bread to get with your eggs is the SCONE. It is the best scone in existence. I'm not even kidding, I have tried scone upon scone upon scone elsewhere and nothing ever comes close.
I knew my ex and I were not meant to be when he ordered plain scrambled eggs and a croissant at Sarabeth's. For shame.
You missed the Lion Bar! That's my favorite UK candy.
I grew up 5 minutes from Corner Grille. OneDomino is right: it's delicious, but useless as takeout - it gets cold in about 5 minutes, and is never as good when reheated in a home kitchen!
I wish they would offer a thicker crust to showcase their ingredients. The thin crust just doesn't do it for me. Fortunately...I live in New York now so I can pretty much have my choice of pizza. My parents in Worcester bemoan the lack of good pizza there, though!
This is my new favorite column. There's a bottle of Gordon's in my fridge right now. To be fair, I also have a bottle of Sapphire. Which I use depends on whether I'm feeling generous with friends.
"I passed on the Burnett's for the obvious reason that A.J. Burnett is my least favorite baseball player (to be fair to A.J., he does not hold this distinction alone. He's tied with the other 24 Yankees)."
You, sir, have won my heart.
Risotto. Creamy and delicious.
Hey @ shady lane - I went to college there, too. :)
Sorry, but Ted Drewes is what I dream about when I miss St. Louis. The Cardinal Sin sundae makes my life complete (vanilla custard, hot fudge, tart cherries.) It's an icon, and totally worth pimping out for some St. Louis love.
OK - went to Amada for lunch and it was delicious. I had the amarillo gazpacho (I am a sucker for yellow gazpacho - see Sunday Suppers at Lucques for my favorite) and the salad with chicken, roasted peppers, artichokes and a creamy garlic dressing. It was totally delicious all around! After a trip through the U.S. Mint, a stop in the Constitution center (law dork!) and a walk through the rest of the mall, I stopped into Capogiro for some gelato - I had the pistachio and the burnt sugar, which were delicious.
My host told me I was a fool not to get the dark chocolate gelato and is insisting that we go back tomorrow. I'm totally fine with that. :)
OK, here is my plan: Reading Market in the morning for breakfast and browsing and Amish-staring/buying of baked goods, Amada for a late lunch, hopefully outside, and Capogiro for deliciousness, possibly twice depending on how long I decide to work. I checked out the Amada menu and there are lots of options for a delicious pork-free meal - plus a really nice soup and salad or sandwich lunch deal. That is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.
Thank you all for your fantastic input! For what it's worth, I will have one more brunch in Philly and will go wherever my friend takes me, but I hope he knows what he is doing just as much as you guys all do!
My family is going to Israel in March, and we will be spending time in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Tiberias (and then down to Eilat and into Jordan to see Petra.) Do you have dinner restaurant recommendations in any of these locations? Lunches will most likely consist of falafel on the fly, so we're less concerned with that. But we have lots of downtime scheduled for dinner, and we have six adventurous eaters going on the trip. Kosher dining is not a requirement.
My family will be travelling to Cooperstown next week for a joint trip to the baseball hall of fame and to Glimmerglass. We need recommendations for lunch and dinner, as the usual methods haven't turned up much. Made a reservation at Alex & Ika for one night, but is there anything else we should look into? We'd rather not stray too far from Cooperstown as we have very limited time there.
We are equal opportunity eaters: just as happy at a high-end restaurant as at a burger shack. (But it's gotta be a GOOD burger shack!)
I will have one day by myself in Philadelphia with nothing planned and nowhere to be at all. Where should I go? What should I eat? Are there any great deals for lunch at restaurants I'd otherwise never be able to afford (along the lines of Del Posto, Jean-Georges in NYC)? Help a novice out!
I will not have a car, but I can walk far. I will be close to the Italian Market/Center City area (is that an area? I have no idea.) but have no qualms about SEPTA/busses/subways/other modes of public transportation. Guide me!
Does anyone have any recommendations for dim sum in Manhattan Chinatown or Flushing for lunch-time dim sum on a weekday? We want somewhere that has the carts that travel around. Does that exist?
This is sort of an NY/NJ question. A friend and I are renting a zipcar on Friday and heading to Six Flags for some rollercoaster action.
Is there anywhere worth stopping for food on the way home to NYC? We'll have an extra 3 hours on the reservation and figure we'll probably never be in Jersey for no reason again. :) We'll eat pretty much anything, but for me, seafood is a fave. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Hi everyone!
My family (mom, dad, 2 brothers and me) is going to Paris during the second week of June. My mom has already made many reservations for dinner, but do you Serious Eaters have any recommendations for the three nights we have free?
We are staying in the 6th but have no problems travelling for a good meal. Most of the places we have booked are prix-fixe bistros at around 30-40 euros per person, and we'd like to stay in that range (the exchange is killing us, clearly.)
If you have any recs, please let me know. I will also take recs for good lunches or other things we should not miss!

Comcast internet service is not very reliable. I use it, and dyndns to be
able to reach it. My system runs a web server /mail as well as others.
However, my system has only been down 3 times in the past month(last time was
before thanksgiving.) My question for you is this: Are you using the linux
box for routing, or do you have a linksys(or other brand) device as a router?
IF so, Id be willing to bet that is part of your problem. If not, I am

I don't expect 24/7 uptime. However the uptime I get is not very good IMO.
Given what I pay for the service vs what I actually get and can use, I find
it just marginally better. I only hope that with competition(I plan on
getting Surewest Broadband the second it is available in my area) that things
will improve...

Nah, I wouldn't do that, too much trouble, not enough extra money...
Its a luxury, not a necessity for myself anyways. :)

Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker didn't receive the long-term contract he was angling for, but at least he'll be sporting a full head of hair on the sideline in 2012. Welker, 31, underwent a hair restoration procedure with Dr. Robert Leonard earlier this month, according to NESN. The procedure "involved transplanting follicles to an area of Welker's scalp where his hair had started to thin," according to a press release. It has been a busy offseason for Welker, who was designated the Patriots' franchise player and married Anna Burns in June. Burns is a model won the 2005 Miss Hooters International title.

The Galaxy S III is a true flagship phone in every sense – right from its hardware to its software. Samsung has not only equipped the Galaxy S III with killer hardware, it has also managed to add some unique software tweaks to it. One such feature introduced by Samsung in the Galaxy S III is Smart Stay.
Using the front camera, Smart Stay makes sure that the phone's screen does not turn off if the user is in front of the phone reading or viewing something. Useful right? While owners of many Android handsets expected that Smart Stay will soon be ported to their phone, it is technically not possible since the feature depends on TouchWIZ's framework.
Thankfully, a new application – ISeeYou – from developer, Marco Roccagli, brings Samsung's Smart Stay feature to all Android devices with a front camera. Like Smart Stay, the application will make sure that your phone's screen does not turn off if you are in front of the phone reading an article.
The lite version of the app is pretty basic, with no options to customize the face scan interval. The pro version of the app, which is pretty cheap (INR 35), comes with a couple of needed options like after how many seconds should the app scan for the user's face and the maximum scan time.
Keep in mind that since the app uses the front-camera for scanning your face after every x seconds, it will have a negative impact on your phone's battery life. Download the Lite version of the app from here or support the developer by purchasing the Pro version.

Hello DAZ Community!
Is it possible, at all, to install DAZ Studio 4 Pro to a USB Key and run it portably? ie. Move from PC to PC while keeping all of my information in line, and run it on a PC that hasn't had DAZ installed on it previously? I've been getting mixed, and unclear solutions, so I thought I'd just come here and ask.
So. Possible? Yes or No?

Cheeseless Vegetarian Quiche is a lovely dish to take to a Christmas party or have on your own table for a light lunch or dinner. A little fiddly but well worth it!
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or make your own)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 red capsicum, diced
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 crown of broccoli, broken into florets, cutting the large ones
- 1 zucchini finely chopped or grated
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- salt pepper to taste
I like to pre-bake my crust as I feel it makes the crust flakier. If you want to pre-bake, put the crust in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 180 degrees.
Put a pot of water on to boil for blanching the broccoli. Prepare a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking when the broccoli is done. When the water comes to a boil, add the broccoli, blanche until the broccoli is bright green (about 3 minutes). Remove the broccoli from the boiling water and plunge in the ice water to stop the cooking. Remove from the iced water and set aside on paper towels to drain.
Saute' diced onion, dried red pepper, salt and pepper until the onion is translucent, then add garlic and saute' until fragrant – about 1 minute.
Add the capsicum, saute' until it begins to soften (about 3-4 minutes) then add mushrooms.
Saute' until the mushrooms give up their liquid and it is mostly cooked off. Remove the vegetables from the heat.
Combine the eggs and milk and set aside. Layer the vegetables into the pie crust, filling the crust evenly.
Pour the egg and milk mixture into the vegetable filled pie crust.
Bake for 30 – 45 minutes at 180 degrees. Check the quiche regularly. The quiche will be done when the egg mixture is set and no longer shakes when you jiggle the quiche.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.

Current Research Interests
My research interests focus on the delivery of services, managerial aspects of providing care to pregnant women and new mothers, and the use of evidence based approaches to care delivery. In particular, I conducted a national survey of prenatal case management with a focus on managerial influences on program implementation.
I am also Co-Principal Investigator, along with Dr. Kathy Baldwin from the College of Nursing, of two multi-year grants from Health Resources Services Administration, Division of Nursing, focused on development of the educational system for preparing more public health nurses.
There are two courses that I consistently teach. One is a doctoral level course, Foundations of Public Health Inquiry, in which students are mentored in the process of developing their own theory about their area of research. The other course, Program Planning and Evaluation, I teach on-line to MPH students.
My most exciting service is consulting with local state and federal agencies regarding MCH program development and evaluation. I serve as an editor-at-large of Healthcare Management Review and reviewer of manuscripts and research grants. At the national level, I chair the Public Health Sciences Research Interest Group of the Academy Health. With Dr. Arden Handler, I am Co-Executive Director of the Naomi Morris Collaboration for Community Assessment and Evaluation.

Let's be honest, foreign policy making has never been democratic. The label of national security has offered governments around the world the power to hide information from their citizens. Aside from this statement, the making of American foreign policy has completely shifted since 9/11. Not only this shift was abrupt and made under intense emotional stress, but it has also created a precedent in the way the U.S. engages in the world. Additionally, American foreign policy has become much more militarized than in the past. A series of recent articles (here and here), documentaries (here and here), and radio show (here) have been produced looking back at the way the U.S. has conducted itself these last 13 years on the international stage.
Since 9/11, the U.S. has been fighting "evil" – to adopt a very Bushian expression – with evil. The U.S. has used a wide array of instruments considered by international law as illegal such as: rendition, torture — known as an "enhanced interrogation technique" — use of force against countries without legal jurisdiction, drone strikes in countries wherein the U.S. is not at war, mass snooping on American and world citizens, cover-up operations, and so forth. The "Global War on Terror" has been the longest war in American history. Since 2001, the U.S. has invaded two countries – Iraq and Afghanistan – launched an undisclosed numbers of drone strikes in countries with which the U.S. is not… Continue reading

If you go by the book jacket of his new memoir, "At the Center of the Storm," George Tenet is enjoying the life of a retired government servant teaching at Georgetown University, where he was appointed to the faculty in 2004. The former CIA director played up the academic image when he kicked off the recent media blitz for his new book by doing an interview for CBS's "60 Minutes" from his spacious, book-lined office at the university. His academic salary, and the reported $4 million advance he received from publisher HarperCollins, should provide the former CIA director with more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his days and leave a substantial fortune to his children.
But those monies are hardly Tenet's entire income. While the swirl of publicity around his book has focused on his long debated role in allowing flawed intelligence to launch the war in Iraq, nobody is talking about his lucrative connection to that conflict ever since he resigned from the CIA in June 2004. In fact, Tenet has been earning substantial income by working for corporations that provide the U.S. government with technology, equipment and personnel used for the war in Iraq as well as the broader war on terror.
When Tenet… Continue reading

The most recent issue of the National Counter Terrorism Center's annual Report on Terrorism [.pdf] came out last week, covering the year 2011. I would like to say that it is well worth a read, but actually it is quite tedious. For those who are interested, it is essentially a statistical and analytical breakdown of the terrorism phenomenon derived from the U.S. government–maintained Worldwide Incidents Tracking System, or WITS, which is based on publicly available open-source material reporting alleged terrorist activity around the globe. Most often the analysis is bare bones and avoids political coloration, not, for example, going deeply into the motives of the various terrorist groups but instead providing information in a pie chart and chronological fashion. This year's report is 33 pages long.
The United States is engaged in what most Americans still refer to as a global war on terror or, in shorthand form, a war on terror. The Obama administration avoids the expression because it is a legacy of the Bush years and because it uses the expression "war," so it refers to "overseas contingency operations," which has a nicer sound and does not appear to be so preemptive or premeditated. It also fudges the reality of what is taking place by pretending that the process is reactive, which it is not. The unrelenting expansion of U.S. military intervention is in response to many diverse overseas developments, most of which are not genuine threats. This was recently demonstrated by the White… Continue reading

Raw Story
A document declassified this week by the National Security Archive reveals that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) delivered a briefing to the Bush administration which directly contradicts former Vice President Dick Cheney's claim that 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta visited an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague.
The document (PDF), dated Dec. 1, 2001 and delivered to the White House on the 8th, claims that Atta "did not travel to the Czech Republic on 31 May 2000," and adds that "the individual who attempted to enter the Czech Republic on 31 May 2000… was not the Atta who attacked the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001."
Despite this briefing, just days later on Dec. 9, 2001, Cheney told the late Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, that the meeting in Prague had been "pretty well confirmed."
Well, what we now have that's developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course, was that report that's been pretty well confirmed, that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack. Now, what the purpose of that was, what transpired between them, we simply don't know at this point. But that's clearly an avenue that we want to pursue.
Cheney's claim was one of the strongest rhetorical links between the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and Iraq in the administration's arguments for war,… Continue reading

Support the 9/11 families and others who are asking President Obama to review the evidence in the documentary, 9/11: Explosive Evidence — Experts Speak Out
– Who: President Barak Obama
– Sponsored by: 9/11 family members, Michele Little, Jane Pollicino, Bob McIlvaine, Josef Princiotta
In a new documentary, 43 high-rise architects, structural engineers, metallurgists, scientists, physicists, and explosives experts provide compelling proof of explosive controlled demolition in the destruction of three World Trade Center (WTC) skyscrapers on September 11, 2001.
Their examination of scientific evidence suggests that the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC7 was not adequately explained by the 9/11 Commission, FEMA, and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reports, all of which contain serious errors and omissions.
Why should this film matter to you, the reader, 11 years later? How will it help for President Obama to see this film?
9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out challenges the roots of the policies that gave rise to (1) the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which have already cost more than a million lives and $1.3 trillion and have substantially contributed to our financial crisis; and (2) legislation such as the Patriot Act and NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act], which has severely impacted our civil liberties.
9/11 family members Michele Little, Jane Pollicino, Bob McIlvaine, and Josef Princiotta sponsored this documentary, produced and directed by Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. This nonprofit… Continue reading

Great empires, such as the Roman and British, were extractive. The empires succeeded, because the value of the resources and wealth extracted from conquered lands exceeded the value of conquest and governance. The reason Rome did not extend its empire east into Germany was not the military prowess of Germanic tribes but Rome's calculation that the cost of conquest exceeded the value of extractable resources.
The Roman empire failed, because Romans exhausted manpower and resources in civil wars fighting amongst themselves for power. The British empire failed, because the British exhausted themselves fighting Germany in two world wars.
In his book, The Rule of Empires (2010), Timothy H. Parsons replaces the myth of the civilizing empire with the truth of the extractive empire. He describes the successes of the Romans, the Umayyad Caliphate, the Spanish in Peru, Napoleon in Italy, and the British in India and Kenya in extracting resources. To lower the cost of governing Kenya, the British instigated tribal consciousness and invented tribal customs that worked to British advantage.
Parsons does not examine the American empire, but in his introduction to the book he wonders whether America's empire is really an empire as the Americans don't seem to get any extractive benefits from it. After eight years of war and attempted occupation of Iraq, all Washington has for its efforts is several trillion dollars of additional debt and no Iraqi oil. After ten years of trillion dollar struggle against the Taliban in… Continue reading

Dear Department of Justice and Department of Treasury Officials:
We might have just helped you bag another material supporter of terrorism this week! And you'll never believe who the culprit is! We were even able to tape record some of his own damning admissions! (That's the reason for my calls last week to your duty attorneys and media offices.)
As you know, Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has an ongoing investigation into several high profile former political figures, trying to discover their financial transactions with the terrorists in the Mujaheddin e Khalq aka "MEK". One of the former political officials apparently being investigated for his financial transactions and paid advocacy on behalf of MEK is former Attorney General Michael Mukasey. Well Mukasey happened to get tapped on March 15 to give an "ethical leadership" speech at the University of St. Thomas Law School and some of us went to hear what he had to say. As an aside, the overall thrust of his speech was anything but ethical. Instead he mostly defended the Bush Administration and its lawyers for having used their talents "to push the legal limits" of what the Executive Branch could do in its "war on terror." (Of course there are many legal scholars who think those Bush attorneys pushed over the legal limits.) He especially defended John Yoo and Robert Delahunty (now a St. Thomas law professor) who working in Bush's Office of Legal Counsel, co-wrote memos in early… Continue reading

Unfortunately, it now appears that a war between the US and its allies with Iran is imminent. By any military analyst's assessment this has a real chance of changing the current multi-theatre war against terrorism and so called rogue/terrorist states into a real World War III scenario!
Following the Mainstream media (MSM) in the West over the last few months, you would be sensing that many things have happened to support the war-with-Iran rationale: hearing that Iran wants a Nuclear bomb and would be prepared to use it against Israel and the US, other alarming stories include Iran trading in weapons with "rogue states," Iran killing innocent people abroad, Iran's president is insane and wants to "wipe Israel off the map," Iran has been involved in terrorist plots/bombings and may attack inside the US and Iran is trading drugs. The list of baseless accusation goes on and on.
Interesting to remember that after 9/11 the MSM did little to question the actual events and who benefited but devoted massive media speculation to Iraq being involved while no evidence existed, managing to convince the vast majority of the American public that Saddam was involved with the 9/11 attacks leading to growing public support for the 2003 invasion.
Many times over the last decade it was obvious by the rhetoric out of Washington and from their many think tanks like PNAC (The Project for the New American Century) and leaked memos from the Pentagon that the… Continue reading

Information Clearing House
In 2010 the FBI invaded the homes of peace activists in several states and seized personal possessions in what the FBI–the lead orchestrator of fake "terrorist plots"–called an investigation of "activities concerning the material support of terrorism."
Subpoenas were issued to compel antiwar protestors to testify before grand juries as prosecutors set about building their case that opposing Washington's wars of aggression constitutes giving aid and comfort to terrorists. The purpose of the raids and grand jury subpoenas was to chill the anti-war movement into inaction.
Last week in one fell swoop the last two remaining critics of Washington/Tel Aviv imperialism were removed from the mainstream media. Judge Napolitano's popular program, Freedom Watch, was cancelled by Fox TV, and Pat Buchanan was fired by MSNBC. Both pundits had wide followings and were appreciated for speaking frankly.
Many suspect that the Israel Lobby used its clout with TV advertisers to silence critics of the Israeli government's efforts to lead Washington to war with Iran. Regardless, the point before us is that the voice of the mainstream media is now uniform. Americans hear one voice, one message, and the message is propaganda. Dissent is tolerated only on such issues as to whether employer-paid health benefits should pay for contraceptive devices. Constitutional rights have been replaced with rights to free condoms.
The western media demonizes those at whom Washington points a finger. The lies pour forth to justify Washington's naked aggression: the Taliban… Continue reading

Huff, Mickey and Project Censored, Eds. Censored 2012: The Top Censored
Stories and Media Analysis of 2012. New York: Seven Stories Press, September
2011. $19.95.
Even more than its predecessors, Censored 2012 makes for highly engaging and
informative reading. This collection is a well mixed bag containing much that
we need to know but too often don't.
This deficit occurs because many Americans are, in Neil Postman's memorable
phrase, "amusing ourselves to death" and in part because many exhibit
an aversion to discussing issues. But above all the deficit results from increased
media malpractice and censorship. When a study shows that regular viewers of
Fox News are less informed–and likely more misinformed–than those
who don't follow the news, something is seriously amiss.
According to editor Mickey Huff, the corporate media are serving up a diet
of "junk-food news to avoid telling the public what is really going on
at home and abroad" (p. 12). If this strikes many readers as obvious,
fewer seem fully aware of just how pervasive this censorship has become–how
very little coverage many significant issues receive.
As a result, even Americans who consider themselves informed don't understand
how their government attempts to minimize or even eliminate public awareness.
On the climactic final day of the Durban Conference on Climate Change, NPR's
"Science Friday" featured a long segment on bedbugs (12/9/11). Censored
2012 reveals that even less coverage–none at all, in fact–is afforded
to ongoing federal preparations to… Continue reading

A growing body of evidence points to a concerted campaign to prepare Americans and the world for war against Iran. This is not idle speculation. It fits a pattern that repeatedly preceded previous hostilities.
Here are the recent examples on Iran:
-The claim that Iran is a WMD threat. Pretty much everyone is familiar with the long-term, continuing efforts to paint Iran as some kind of nuclear threat. This ignores the possibility that Iran is telling the truth in contending it is embarked on solely non-military nuclear research (debatable), and serious doubts among many experts that Iran is preparing nuclear weapons. Perhaps most important, it discounts the fact that many countries (including Iran's arch-enemy Israel) have nuclear weapons, and disregards the undoubted truth that if a country like Iran ever did launch nuclear weapons, it would be wiped out in a nanosecond, creating a very strong disincentive for offensive use. At the same time, by encouraging other countries and internal foes to believe that it has nuclear weapons, Iran creates an inexpensive protective shield for its regime. A dangerous game, to be sure, but without further evidence of Iranian nukes, hardly a reason to launch a war that would surely cause even more death and destruction than the misguided Iraq invasion.
-The claim that Iran tried to hire Mexican drug cartel hit squads to kill a Saudi ambassador on US soil (fizzled). Remember this one? So ludicrous that even ultra-cautious corporate news organizations… Continue reading
Engineering Consent For Attack On Iran
US Court Claims Iranian 9/11 Link
By RT (Russia Today)
December 17, 2011 — A US court has won a default judgement that Iranian officials, including its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, provided help to the 9/11 hijackers behind the worst terror attack on American soil. The lawsuit was filed by the families of the atrocity's victims. There was no Iranian representation in court. RT talks to Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Center for Research on Globalization.
Iran Accused Of 9/11 Role
By Fox News
May 20, 2011 "Fox News" — NEW YORK: Two defectors from Iran's intelligence service have testified that Iranian officials knew in advance about the attacks of September 11, 2001, says a US court filing that seeks damages for Iran's "direct support for, and sponsorship of, the most deadly act of terrorism in American history".
Iran Accused Of September 11 Role To Plan, Train & Escape WTC Attacks 21/5/11:
One of the defectors also claimed that Iran was involved in designing the attacks, the filing said. The defectors' identities and testimony were not revealed in the filing but were being submitted to a judge under seal, said lawyers who brought the original suit against Iran on behalf of families of dozens of September 11 victims.
The suit says Iran and Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group with close ties to Tehran, helped al-Qaeda with planning the attacks and with the hijackers' training and travel. After the attacks, the suit says, Iran and Hezbollah helped al-Qaeda operatives and their families to escape, in some cases providing them with a safe haven in Iran.…Continue reading

By politicizing who is and who is not a "terrorist" — pinning the label on American adversaries and sparing purported American friends — the U.S. government created confusion at FBI headquarters that contributed to the failure to stop the 9/11 attacks, reports ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley.
By Coleen Rowley
Glenn Greenwald's critique — regarding the recent U.S. indictment of 38-year-old Iraqi Faruq Khalil Muhammad Isa (currently in Canada) — is spot on about "terrorism" coming to simply mean opposing United States' interests or resisting U.S. military invasions.
U.S. authorities have now dropped any requirement that the "terrorists" target or kill civilians as part of a political objective, the classic definition of terrorism. Isa stands accused of "providing material support to a terrorist conspiracy" because he allegedly backed a 2008 attack in Mosul, Iraq, killing five U.S. soldiers.
As Greenwald wrote, "In other words, if the U.S. invades and occupies your country, and you respond by fighting back against the invading army — the ultimate definition of a 'military, not civilian target' — then you are a . . . Terrorist."
But the reverse of Greenwald's example is also true, that those "terrorist" groups throughout the world who commit violent acts or kill civilians at U.S. instigation, encouragement or in line with U.S. interests are NOT considered "terrorists."
For example, before 9/11, the Chechen "rebels" — who had orchestrated mass civilian hostage takings, suicide bombings and hijackings and who were accused of having planted bombs in… Continue reading
Levin-McCain bill would create a presidential dictatorship. Where is the outrage?
by Justin Raimondo
Buried in the annual defense appropriations bill is a provision that would give the President the power to use the military to intern anyone — including American citizens — indefinitely, and hold them without charges or trial, anywhere in the world, including on American soil . The provision essentially repeals the longstanding Posse Comitatus Act , which prevents the military from engaging in law enforcement on US territory — the greatest fear of the Founders. Approved by a Senate subcommittee in secret hearings, the provisions open the road to a military dictatorship in this country — and for that we can thank Senators Carl Levin and John McCain , who introduced the measure. Both the FBI and the Pentagon came out against the Levin-McCain monstrosity, and Senator Mark Udall (D-Colorado) introduced an amendment striking the provision: the amendment was defeated in the Senate, 37-61 .
The mind reels. As the ACLU's Chris Anders
puts it :
"I know it sounds incredible. New powers to use the military worldwide, even within the United States? Hasn't anyone told the Senate that Osama bin Laden is dead, that the president is pulling all of the combat troops out of Iraq and trying to figure out how to get combat troops out of Afghanistan too? And American citizens and people picked up on American or Canadian or British streets being sent to military prisons indefinitely without even being charged… Continue reading

The family of Lynn Margulis has announced that she died at home on Tuesday, November 22, at the age of 73. She had suffered a serious hemorrhagic stroke on Friday, November 18 – so serious that there was no chance of recovery.
Having authored dozens of books and scientific papers, Margulis was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1999.
In 2004, she began looking into the evidence against the official account of 9/11. She not only accepted it but also — always known for her courage – announced her views, writing in 2007:
"Whoever is responsible for bringing to grisly fruition this new false-flag operation, which has been used to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as unprecedented assaults on research, education, and civil liberties, must be perversely proud of their efficient handiwork. Certainly, 19 young Arab men and a man in a cave 7,000 miles away, no matter the level of their anger, could not have masterminded and carried out 9/11: the most effective television commercial in the history of Western civilization. I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation be undertaken."
In early 2010, she wrote an article on WTC 7 entitled "Two Hit, Three Down — The Biggest Lie." Asking: "Why did three World Trade Center buildings (#1,#2 and #7) collapse on 9/11, after… Continue reading

A tribunal in Malaysia, spearheaded by that nation's former Prime Minister, yesterday found George Bush and Tony Blair guilty of "crimes against peace" and other war crimes for their 2003 aggressive attack on Iraq, as well as fabricating pretexts used to justify the attack. The seven-member Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal — which featured an American law professor as one of its chief prosecutors — has no formal enforcement power, but was modeled after a 1967 tribunal in Sweden and Denmark that found the U.S. guilty of a war of aggression in Vietnam, and, even more so, after the U.S.-led Nuremberg Tribunal held after World War II. Just as the U.S. steadfastly ignored the 1967 tribunal on Vietnam, Bush and Blair both ignored the summons sent to them and thus were tried in absentia.
The tribunal ruled that Bush and Blair's name should be entered in a register of war criminals, urged that they be recognized as such under the Rome Statute, and will also petition the International Criminal Court to proceed with binding charges. Such efforts are likely to be futile, but one Malaysian lawyer explained the motives of the tribunal to The Associated Press: "For these people who have been immune from prosecution, we want to put them on trial in this forum to prove that they committed war crimes." In other words, because their own nations refuse to hold them accountable and can use their power to prevent international… Continue reading
Historical Judgment of Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal

Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal
Bush, Blair Defense Relies On 9/11/01
That's why we need an independent investigation of 9/11.
While the prosecution of President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair for the crime of aggression, crimes against the peace, took two days to present because the docket was so full of important evidence, including their own books written after the Iraq War, the Defense (by way of Amicus Curiae) sought to conclude its proceedings by invoking the emotionalism of the tragedy that took place on 11 September 2001. Amid multiple rebukes by the Chief Justice of the Tribunal to avoid emotionalism, the Defense team could not help itself.
Lead Defense Counsel continued, "Had George W. Bush said 'We know who you are, we know what you did, and we forgive you,' the world could have been a much different place. But, instead, Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantánamo happened. We are fallible human beings. We make mistakes." And the Defense stated that the defense of Bush and Blair defense is that the accused "are human."
The Judges interjected at this point that perhaps the correct defense should have been "temporary insanity" or "provocation" since the prosecution had already stated that 9/11 was a pretext for the war that was desired by certain personalities as far back as 1998.
The Defense noted that what happened was human fallibility and in the end, the information that prompted the war… Continue reading
I have repeatedly demonstrated that — despite the false divide-and-conquer tactics of the mainstream parties and mainstream media — the overwhelming majority of Americans agree on the most important issues facing our country . And see this .
As I've noted since 2008 , Americans are united in their overwhelming disapproval for bailouts to the big banks.
This has remained true right up to today.
As Rassmussen found only last month (as summarized by KXLF news ):
Today's Rasmussen Reports survey finds that most Americans don't like bailouts for financial institutions.
60% Oppose Financial Bailouts; 74% Say Wall Street Benefited Most
Survey of 1,000 American Adults
– Just 20% think it was a good idea for the government to provide bailout funding to banks and other financial institutions, but 60% say otherwise .
– While many activists try to link the Republican Party and Wall Street, Republicans think the bailouts were a bad idea by an eight-to-one margin.
– Those not affiliated with either major party think they were a bad idea by a four-to-one margin. Democrats are much more evenly divided. Thirty-four percent (34%) of those in the president's party say the bailouts were a good idea while 42% disagree.
– Overall, 68% believe that most of the bailout money went to the very people who created the nation's ongoing economic crisis , but 12% disagree and 21% aren't sure.
As the Washington Post 's Greg Sargent notes , the recent proposal from lobbyists… Continue reading

Opposition presses about sale of scrap to save taxpayer money
Questions surrounding the remediation and demolition of the former Abitibi Bowater Mill property in Grand Falls-Windsor were raised during question period in the House of Assembly yesterday.
© File photo
The former Abitibi Bowater paper mill in Grand Falls-Windsor ceased production in 2009 and was expropriated by the Provincial Government. It has been vacant since. In late 2012 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the province would be responsible for the multimillion-dollar remediation of the facility.
In March, following the presentation of the 2014 provincial budget, Grand-Falls-Windsor-Buchans MHA Susan Sullivan told the Advertiser that funds for the full demolition of the paper mill, which ceased production in 2009 and was expropriated by the province, were included in the budget.
"We've been five years now, and we've seen no use for the mill whatsoever. We've had a number of people tour, take a look at it, and invariably they've come away and not shown any interest in the mill infrastructure at all," Sullivan said at the time.
Liberal Leader Dwight Ball asked Premier Tom Marshall on Tuesday whether or not the mill would indeed be demolished this year as Sullivan suggested.
Ball said the Minister of Transportation and Works, Nick McGrath, had not confirmed the building would be demolished, but would only be considered for demolition,
McGrath responded to Ball's question, saying, "The commitment was made to put out a (Request for Proposals) this year to demolish the mill in Grand Falls-Windsor. That RFP is out now.As soon as the RFP closes, then we will sit down with the bidders, go through the normal process, and when we award the tender that process will start this year."
Ball followed up his original question with another, asking the minister about the use of taxpayers dollars for the demolition, and the possibility of selling scrap medal to offset costs.
"The former Abitibi mill sits empty, waiting to be demolished, as I said, while other mills in Eastern Canada have been sold as scrap to metal companies for millions of dollars . . . Did you ever think about or did you try to sell the mill to a scrap metal company that would indeed create revenue for this province?"
Minister McGrath responded that the sale of assets is something that is being considered by the government and is included in the RFP process.
"That is what this government is all about, Mr. Speaker, is saving money and making things better for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador," McGrath said.
