I was appalled to read Mick Hamer's article about the heavy rate of loss at sea of bulk carriers ("Clampdown on the rust buckets", 29 April).
What I would like to know is what the attitude of maritime insurers is. After all, surely it would go a long way to solving the problem if all marine insurers, before granting cover, were to insist on the production of a report from a reputable marine surveyor and were to lay down as conditions of cover requirements about proper use and maintenance of vessels?
I can only suppose that there are some shady insurers about who are prepared to offer cover on a "no questions asked" cut-price basis, no doubt calculating that they can afford the odd loss, on the basis of additional premium income earned over the years. Or am I just being cynical?

The New England Patriots lack of depth in the secondary forced them to turn to a couple of receivers to play on the defensive side of the ball this past season, so it should come as no surprise that the team is doing its homework on some cornerback prospects for the upcoming draft.
Most mock drafts have linked the Patriots to a cornerback (or two) with their four 1st and 2nd round picks. But since they're looking for depth more than just one playmaker, they don't necessarily need to spend a high pick on the position.
The Patriots have reportedly scheduled pre-draft visits with LSU cornerback Ron Brooks and Omar Bolden of Arizona State.
Both prospects should come off the board no earlier than the 3rd round, but could each compete for playing time immediately in the Patriots secondary.
Bolden could be of particular interest to the Patriots, who aren't afraid to gamble on prospects with high upside. Bolden's stock has fallen considerably after missing most of the 2008 and all of the 2011 season with injuries. But when healthy, Bolden, who was a starter since his freshman year at Arizona State, has shown legitimate starter potential.

Some of the Tdi gurus have found a way to put an inline filter on the return line that provides a way to keep the debris from flowing back into the tank and cutting the repair cost down significantly in the case of it happening.
YMMV of course.
i've not seen their particular fuel system, but in many cases you have two layers of filtration; one to the pump and one (after the pump) to the engine. if there is debris being returned to the module it's more likely that something is corroding after the module. if it's a turbine pump, it won't tolerate much in the way of contamination and will fail quickly if the filtration is breached.
guess number two - (

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 7 adds Demetria McKinney and Claudia JordanAdd to Favorites | The Real Housewives of Atlanta
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Season 7 is shaping up to be the spiciest yet. Us Weekly reports cast members NeNe Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams are all confirmed to return for another season of drama and catfights -- joined by two additions to the cast, radio personality and former "Deal or No Deal" girl Claudia Jordan and actress Demetria McKinney.
McKinney will reportedly be a full-time addition to the Bravo show, while Jordan will take on a supporting role.
It's interesting producers felt they needed to bring more drama to Atlanta, considering all the Season 6 drama that ensued -- most notably Kenya Moore's crazy fight with Porsha Williams during the Season 6 reunion.
We can't wait to see what the new ladies bring to the mix when "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" returns for Season 7.

Scott & White Rapid Recovery Joint Program
The Scott & White Rapid Recovery Joint Program was started in March of 2007 to help patients undergoing hip and knee replacements. As part of the Bone and Joint Institute, this rapid and intensive rehabilitation program aims at getting patients back on their feet more quickly — often in three days or less!
"The program's goal is to provide specific education and encouragement for our patients, helping them recover more quickly and with improved outcomes. Our doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and everyone else on the team are involved in this rapid recovery program to ensure that patients get the best care they can and return home faster."
— Kirby D. Hitt, MD, Director of the Scott & White Division of Adult Reconstructive Surgery
The Trail Ride
Our western-themed "Trail Ride" makes each patient the trail boss of his or her own recovery. Patients can set their own pace as we chart their progress through the program. In addition, friends and family members get involved as "scouts" to help encourage their loved ones to finish the trail ride on time.
"We want this to be a team effort — the patient, the patient's family/friend and the healthcare providers," said Christine Payne, RN, C,ONC, Joint Replacement Program Coordinator. "A patient's spouse, son or daughter, or good friend needs to be involved in their recovery, so we have created a way to involve them as the 'scout' to coach and encourage the patient through the continuum of care."
In addition to being "wrangled" by their friends and family, the staff hopes some friendly competition among patients helps them progress through the program more quickly.
"The patients are able to push each other, and they measure their progress against fellow patients," Payne said. "They help encourage each other to finish their 'trail ride' on time.
Traditionally, patients who undergo joint replacement surgery spend five to six days in the hospital. With Scott & White's rapid recovery program, however, patients are out of the hospital in about three days and feeling better about the results.
"This kind of program is important to the recovery of patients," Dr. Hitt added. "We teach them therapies and techniques that they can do at home, too, so that adds to their success. We also teach the 'scout' how to help at home, which keeps them active in the patient's care."

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- You may only have a few days left to say goodbye to one of the Topeka Zoo's biggest attractions for the last quarter-century. Jesse the Giraffe, one of the oldest in North America, is approaching the end of his life.
For 24 years, he has greeted guests at the Topeka Zoo. In late March, city officials released a statement saying that Jesse was receiving end of life care.
On Tuesday, they said they're seeing signs his condition has worsened. Zoo officials now believe Jesse's hospice care will end in the next few days.
Jesse was born in 1990 and is among the oldest, living reticulated giraffes in a North America zoo. He has fathered seven baby giraffes at the Topeka Zoo - including "Hope," who turned four this month.

text: DownloadDawn Holland and Dirk Willem te VeldeNovember 2012OverviewDownloadsOverviewThe European Union is currently discussing the European Commission's future development aid budget as part of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) over 2014-2020. However, these negotiations have largely neglected a discussion on the economic effects of EU aid for both donor and recipient countries. This study is the first attempt to quantify such effects. The report simulates the impact of EU aid to the poorest, as channelled through the European Development Fund (EDF) and the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) to developing countries. Over the seven year period 2014-2020, the European Commission proposes funding for these instruments at €30 billion, and €21 billion respectively, adding up to a total of €51 billion. The report concludes that over the 7 year period of the next EU budget, under a reasonable set of assumptions, if the €51bn investment in development aid is channelled effectively it will be completely recouped by EU taxpayers, and the effects on the ground give a clear return on investment. In that time European and global GDP levels will receive a boost of almost 0.1 per cent and over 0.2 per cent respectively as a result of this aid, with much stronger benefits accruing to the aid recipient regions.

WASHINGTON — Once hailed as the savior of food stamps, Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts has introduced a bill to cut $36 billion from the federal aid program over 10 years.
Up for re-election in 2014, the Republican says hes trying to offer an alternative to both a budget proposal on the right that would effectively dismantle the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and another on the left that offers no savings at all.
Roberts said in an interview that the program must reform now or face more drastic changes down the road. We have a program that could self-implode if were not careful. I dont want to see that happen, he said.
But critics complain that Roberts legislation would reduce or eliminate benefits for millions of needy Americans at a time when many still struggle to make ends meet in a weakened economy.
Every one of the provisions in the bill would have detrimental impact on those who need help, said Joanna Sebelien, chief resource officer for Harvesters: Community Food Network, a Kansas City, Mo., food bank. Its just so, so frustrating.
Administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the anti-hunger program spent $78 billion to deliver food assistance to 45 million Americans in an average month in fiscal year 2011, up from $33 billion spent on 26 million Americans in 2005.
To be eligible for food stamps, a households net income must be at or below 130 percent of the poverty line, or about $19,100 a year for a family of three.
Roberts acknowledges that his bill would cut benefits to some people, but he said some of the measures put in place in recent years to allow more people to receive food stamps ought to be rolled back. His legislation would repair the food stamp programs bloated bureaucracy while ensuring that people who need benefits the most continue to receive them, the senator said. I just want to restore integrity to the program, he said. . . . Youve got a lot of situations where folks are really gaming the system, and thats not right.
In 1995, Roberts helped rescue food stamps when fellow Republicans in Congress tried to end the federal anti-hunger program. As chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Roberts led a rebellion of like-minded GOP representatives who balked at a proposal by their partys leadership that would have replaced the food stamp program with lump sum payments to the states.
Roberts helped push through changes the following year that reduced food stamp spending by $26 billion over six years by prohibiting non-citizens from receiving benefits and restricting able-bodied adults without dependents to three months of eligibility unless they were working at least half time.
Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a Washington think tank, called it disheartening to see a senator with a history of championing the food stamp program recommend such deep cuts in his new legislation. Its a sledgehammer solution to what I think is a hammer and nail problem, Dean said.
Roberts argues that his bill is consistent with his lifetime of work battling hunger, not a departure from it. With everyone in Washington looking for ways to cut spending now, no program not even food stamps can be considered immune, he said.
We have exploded the program to the degree that it becomes a target, and I just want to avoid that, the senator said.
The Republican budget advanced by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, and approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday, would slash $127 billion over the next decade by converting the food stamp program into a capped block grant to states. The Senate Democrats budget protects funding for food stamps while cutting $27.5 billion in farm subsidies.
Roberts plan keeps the federal program intact but proposes dramatic changes.
One major provision in his proposal would save $11.5 billion by limiting a federal option known as categorical eligibility, which allows states to raise or waive the requirement that households have less than $2,000 in assets in order to qualify for benefits.
Another would save $12 billion by closing a provision that allows low-income households that qualify for the federal assistance in paying energy bills to use standardized utility costs instead of actual utility costs in their application for food stamps, potentially qualifying them for higher benefits. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that this provision would reduce benefits by an average of $90 per month per household.
Roberts bill also would save $8.8 billion by doing away with employment and training programs to help enrollees find work, and nutrition education programs. Other savings come from eliminating inflation adjustments for emergency food assistance, terminating automatic increases in benefits, and ending bonuses paid to states for processing timely applications and for enrolling more people.
Overhauling food stamps wont be easy, but its essential, said Leslie Paige, vice president for policy and communication with Citizens Against Government Waste, a nonprofit in Washington. The program is expanding too much with too little oversight, Paige said.
This has to be done, she said. There is no possible way that you can continue on a trajectory that now has 48 million people and counting on (food stamps). Youre looking at 15 percent of the population and counting.
Still, Roberts proposal to trim tens of billions of dollars from the food stamp program caught some people who serve the poor in his home state off guard.
I dont want to criticize Sen. Roberts he does a lot of good for a lot of people but we were just kind of surprised by this legislation, said Brian Walker, president and CEO of Kansas Food Bank, a Wichita-based charity. We hadnt heard any rumblings of it, and he really has been a supporter of the food stamp program in the past.
Food banks in Kansas, Missouri and elsewhere already are hard pressed to make sure the neediest people in their communities have enough to eat every day, Walker said. His organization feeds 37,000 people a week in 85 Kansas counties. If food stamp benefits are reduced, Walker said, the burden will fall on charities to feed even more families.
Walker said he sent an email and spoke to a member of Roberts staff about his concerns.
We understand that you have to do something about federal spending and balanced budgets, but if one of the first things you take aim at is targeting a program that helps put food on the tables of the less fortunate, thats not something we really like, he said.

Greetings fellow fantasy geeks! Tis I, Tehol Beddict, here yet again to service you in ways you once thought irrealizable. I'm merely perpetuating my own genius by coming week after week with top quality, grade-A knowledge. I got's to drop it on ya'll, for not tot would be a terrible waste as it would die like a fart in the wind. At long last I've reawakened from my Vegas slumber as the elder gods were terribly unkind to me this trip. Of course, that is if you call doing mass quantities of snow with with a pack of bodacious strippers until the birds started chirping unkind. Beyond a doubt the sort of excursion that would make even the great Charlie Sheen jealous. Now let us get to the point of this post. I'm not here to write to you of perfectly formed beauties riding me like a rodeo (or am I), nor am I here to glorify hard core drug usage. What I've come here to do today, is talk about Alex Rodriguez, for I am seemingly his last remaining fan on earth.Please, blog, may I have some more?
While we at Razzball are content toiling within the modest confines of fantasy baseball blogdom, we occasionally like to flex our journalistic muscles and take on a challenging interview.
Our interview subject is the well-respected director of such films as Do The Right Thing, Malcolm X, He Got Game, and Bamboozled as well as a well-known devotee of New York sports. Please, blog, may I have some more?Please, blog, may I have some more?

By Dr. Peter Dale Scott
In American history there are two types of event: ordinary events which the information systems of the country can understand and establish. There are also deep events, or meta-events, which the mainstream information systems of the country cannot digest. I mean by a "deep event" an event in which it is clear from the outset that there are aspects which will not be dealt with in the mainstream media, and will be studied only by those so-called "conspiracy theorists" who specialize in deep history.
The events I shall discuss today exhibit continuities with each other and with other deep events, notably the Iran-Contra affair of the mid 1980s and the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. But the three I shall discuss today — the JFK assassination, the initial Watergate break-ins, and 9/11 — are outstanding in this respect: that while they were attributed to insignificant and very marginal people, they had momentous impact, far more than most daily events by more important people, in redirecting American history. 1
If history is what is recorded, then deep history is the sum of events which tend to be officially obscured or even suppressed in traditional books and media. Important recent deep events include the political assassinations of the 1960s, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and now 9/11. All these deep events have involved what I call the deep state, that part of the state which is not publicly accountable, and pursues its goals by means which will not be approved… Continue reading
Video from Snowshoe Films—
As Webster Tarpley notes, Zelikow is very important in the 9/11 cover-up. In 1998, Philip Zelikow published an article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations, entitled "CATASTROPHIC TERRORISM: Imagining the Transformative Event." Nearly two years later, PNAC picked up the CFR-Zelikow language, saying that the desired transformation "is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event — like a new Pearl Harbor…"
In part one of this series, we hear from author Webster Tarpley, Professor Graeme MacQueen (religious studies, McMaster University, ret.), Ken Jenkins (filmmaker), and Peter Dale Scott, author.
Zelikow, hired as a Bush II transition team member for his expertise on al-Qaeda (according to Karen Hughes), didn't want to hear anything about al-Qaeda from Richard Clarke, chief counter-terrorism expert on George W. Bush's national security council. Similarly, John Ashcroft at the Dept. of Justice didn't want to hear anything about al-Qaeda before 9/11 from Thomas Picard, acting director of the FBI. In these and other instances, Zelikow as executive director of the 9/11 Commission, suborned perjury, Webster Tarpley charges.
Tarpley reveals Zelikow's cover-up role in the Able Danger FBI effort to expose "al-Qaeda" cells. Prof. Graeme MacQueen calls attention to Zelikow's unique role in predicting then explicating the consequences of "the transformative event" as head of the commission charged with investigating the catastrophic terrorism of 9/11. Ken Jenkins and Peter Dale Scott note that Zelikow's expertise is in creating and exploiting public myths,… Continue reading

Read the full article (below): Bush Moves Toward Martial Law by Frank Morales, published in TowardFreedom.com on October 26, 2006.
The article below is reprinted from EXTRA! Magazine
On October 17, 2006, when George W. Bush signed the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2007–a $538 billion military spending bill–he enacted into law a section called "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies." In the view of many, this Act substantially changed fundamental laws of the United States, giving Bush–and all future U.S. presidents–new and sweeping powers to use the U.S. military anywhere in the United States, virtually as he sees fit–for disaster relief, crowd control, suppression of public disorder, or any "other condition" that might arise.
News coverage of these significant changes in the law has been virtually nonexistent. At nearly every stage when it might have received coverage, the news media have completely ignored the story: When the NDAA was debated, when it was passed in the House on September 29 and in the Senate on Sept.… Continue reading

Some might say that 9/11 has changed Canada's foreign policies in such a way that Canada is no longer regarded on the world stage as a peace-loving country, but a country willing to use its military preemptively based on nothing more than the trust we hold in the word of our southern neighbour.
Not only are we participating in the NATO occupation of Afghanistan, but we are also supplying the British and American troops in Iraq with their most deadly weapon – munitions made from Canadian mined depleted uranium.
Already, millions of Canadians do not support our war effort. But what if the official story of 9/11 was a lie? What if 9/11, as the evidence now suggests, was a self inflicted wound? How many of us would /then /support the War on Terror?
The last six months have seen a massive resurgence of interest in 9/11, and the official story of what really happened that day is being attacked on all fronts. Groups denouncing the official story have popped up all over North America. Organizations such as the Journal of 9/11 Studies, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, and Veterans for 9/11 Truth — are all composed of well respected people from all walks of life who share a common goal of exposing the truth behind 9/11, and ending this so called "War on Terror".
In Canada, a network of "9/11 Truth Groups" has spread like wildfire. Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria, and even the Kootenays have formed coalitions dedicated to showing us all that the official story does not stand up.…Continue reading
DEBATE: The Truly Distracting 9/11 Conspiracy Theory; A Reply to Alexander Cockburn (Translated from French)
[12.03.07] Alexander Cockburn's "US: The Conspiracy That Wasn't," which is an attack on the 9/11 truth movement, is faulty in virtually every respect. He calls me one of the movement's "high priests," as if it were a religious movement, rather than a fact-based movement that involves scientists, engineers, pilots, war veterans, politicians, philosophers, former air traffic controllers, former defense ministers, and former CIA analysts. 1 by Dr. David Ray Griffin March 12, 2007
He calls us "conspiracists," ignoring the fact that in defending the government's account, he is defending the original 9/11 conspiracy theory. In claiming that the Bush administration and the military are too incompetent to have organized the 9/11 attacks, he gives an argument that could equally well be used to prove that they could not have organized the military assaults on Afghanistan and Iraq.
In claiming that bin Laden took credit for the attacks, Cockburn appears not to be aware that in the video on which this claim is primarily based, the man playing Osama bin Laden is heavier and darker than the bin Laden of all undoubtedly authentic videos, 2 or that the FBI's "Most Wanted Terrorist" page on bin Laden does not mention 9/11—because, an FBI spokesman explained, "the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11." 3
Although Cockburn says that members of our movement are "immune to reality check," he endorses the official theory… Continue reading
by Michael Keefer
December 4, 2006
The first thing to say by way of preliminaries (and I'd better get it in quickly before someone suggests that I've turned up late or over-weight for a pre-match weighing-in) is that I'm not overjoyed with the pugilistic metaphor of my title.
But some sort of response to the volley of attacks on 9/11 researchers and activists with which the Counterpunch website marked the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 seems called for.
Michael Keefer strikes just the right tone in responding to Alexander Cockburn's attempt to banish "conspiracy nuts" from the kingdom of the left.Keefer accounts for Cockburn's hostility to conspiracy by locating him in the "class of academics and public intellectuals, for whom a migration of power into military, deep-political, and corporate-media hands may…. be difficult to acknowledge." We'd add that when those intellectuals are wedded to a brand of analysis that cannot satisfactorily account for what they see transpiring before their eyes, that difficulty is only magnified.
Slowly but surely, the academic left is coming to understand that the deep politics paradigm offers the most promising analytic tools for understanding the dynamics of geopolitical struggle. Don't be surprised by the discomfort associated with the paradigm shift to continue to produce rhetorically overheated, but substantively lacking, complaints like Cockburn's for quite some time. But really, that's his problem.
Counterpunch co-editor Alexander Cockburn set the tone of these pieces with an article describing theologian and ethicist David Ray Griffin, the author of The New Pearl Harbor (2004) and of The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions (2005), as a "high priest" of the "conspiracy nuts""whom Cockburn denounces as cultists who "disdain all answers but their own," who "seize on coincidences and force them into sequences they deem to be logical and significant," and who "pounce on imagined clues in documents and photos, [".] contemptuously brush[ing] aside" evidence that contradicts their own "whimsical" treatment of "eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence."
It's a characteristically forceful performance, if at times slipshod. One small sign of carelessness may be the manner in which Cockburn slides from calling 9/11 skeptics a "coven" to comparing them, a few sentences later, to "mad Inquisitors" torturing the data (as the old joke goes about economists) until the data confess." Readers brought up to think that the victims and perpetrators of witch-crazes have not customarily been the same people may find this unintentionally amusing.
Despite the sometimes distinctly nasty tone of this polemic, the idea of exchanging even metaphorical blows with Cockburn and his colleagues is unappealing. The overall quality of the essays that he and Jeffrey St. Clair publish in Counterpunch makes it easy on most days of the week to agree with Out of Bounds Magazine's description of it (trumpeted on Counterpunch's masthead) as "America's best political newsletter." And I've admired Cockburn's own political essays for many years: he's written movingly, sometimes brilliantly, on a wide range of subjects1 even if his flashes of brilliance sometimes alternate with breathtaking pratfalls: among them his dismissal, as recently as March 2001, of the evidence for global warming; his scoffing, in November 2004, at the rapidly gathering indications that the US presidential election of 2004 had been stolen; and a year later, his mockery of the well-established theory of peak oil and his adherence to the genuinely daft notion that the earth produces limitless quantities of abiotic oil.2 One can forgive a journalist's slender grasp of the rudiments of scientific understanding. But given his self-appointed role as defender of the progressive left against a horde of fools, It's dismaying to find him sliding as frequently as he does into positions that seem not just quirky but (dare I say it) unprogressive.

Triple Cross: Journalist Peter Lance on How Bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets and the FBI – And Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him
Listen to Segment || Download
New details have emerged about how an al Qaeda spy named Ali Mohamed penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets and the FBI before the 9/11 attacks. We speak with investigative journalist Peter Lance about his new book, "Triple Cross." [includes rush transcript]
Ali Mohamed was a member of Osama bin Laden's inner circle who operated freely within the United States for years before 9/11. Despite being a top al Qaeda operative, he managed to become a naturalized US citizen, join the US Army, get posted to the military base where Green Berets and Delta Force train and infiltrate both the CIA and FBI. And while he was an FBI informant he smuggled bin Laden in and out of Afghanistan and helped plan the attacks on US embassies in Africa. He ended up playing a pivotal role in 9/11.
Journalist Peter Lance joins me here in our firehouse studio. He is a five-time Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and a former ABC News correspondent. His new book is called "Triple Cross: How Bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets and the FBI – And Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him."

9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
David Ray Griffin, Peter Dale Scott, Peter Phillips, Kevin Ryan, Ray McGovern
Description: Editors and contributors to the book, "9/11 and American Empire," assess the Bush administration's responsibility for the attacks on 9/11, arguing that key administration officials either purposefully ignored the threats leading up to the attacks or were complicit in the planning them. The panelists say that the administration has used the attacks to enact long established plans to expand American empire. The participants are: David Ray Griffin (co-editor/contributor), Peter Dale Scott (co-editor/contributor), Peter Phillips (contributor) and Kevin Ryan (contributor). Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern moderates the discussion. The event was hosted by Berkeley, California-based Pacifica radio station KPFA (www.kpfa.org).
Author Bio: David Ray Griffin, professor emeritus of philosophy and theology at the Claremont School of Theology, is the author of "The New Pearl Harbor" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions." Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat and former professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of "Deep Politics and the Death of JFK" and "Drugs, Oil, and War." Peter Phillips, professor of sociology at Sonoma State University and director of the Project Censored media research program, is most recently the co-editor of "Censored 2007: The Top 25 Censored Stories" and "Impeach the President: The Case Against Bush and Cheney."

New book: 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
Edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott
Olive Branch Press (Interlink Books)
Pre-pub Review (more follow…)
"This is the most important book of our time. Distinguished national and international scientists and scholars present massive evidence that The 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East. The book's call for a truly independent panel of experts to be empowered to bring out the true facts must be heeded or Americans will never again live under accountable government." — Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury during the Reagan administration

The War on Truth: 9/11, Disinformation, and the Anatomy of Terrorism
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
Description: Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed outlines the relationship between the West and radical Muslim groups like the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) in Algeria, and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in Serbia. Mr. Ahmed says that these groups, parts of which are now affiliated with Al Qaeda, were used by the United States and Britain to further Western political and economic goals. He argues that a more complete investigation of this relationship is necessary to understand what happened on 9/11. Mr. Ahmed also talks about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1996 British attempt to assassinate Libya's Muammar Gaddafi in this light. This talk, held at American University in Washington, DC, was organized by the DC Emergency Truth Convergence (www.truthemergency.us). Includes Q&A.
Author Bio: Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed is executive director of the Institute for Policy Research & Development (www.globalresearch.org) based in Brighton, UK. He is the author of "The War on Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked, September 11, 2001."

Defining existential politics.
by Byron Belitsos
With the inauguration of George W. Bush for a second term, we enter a nightmare phase of American history, a descent into the era of what might be called "deep politics."
In this short essay I reach out for an expanded definition of a phrase first coined by the distinguished author Peter Dale Scott. In Deep Politics and the Death of JFK1, Scott refers to the "underlying continuities of deep politics" displayed by the apparent convergence of the covert interests of military, rightwing, intelligence agency, and organized crime conspirators that coalesced in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Veteran journalist Jim Marrs points in a similar direction with his Crossfire: The Plot that Killed Kennedy, as does the Oliver Stone movie based in part on that book. Marrs then works out the implications in later books, including Rule by Secrecy and Inside Job2, an expose of US government collusion with the 9/11 plot. Big-picture writers like Scott, Marrs, and investigative journalist Mike Ruppert, author of Crossing the Rubicon3, have succeeded in synthesizing a growing body of evidence that support the notion that America now inhabits a surreal realm of deep politics, where amoral, Machiavellian, covert action directs (or conditions) the agenda of the overt world, and cover stories are spun by self-deceived politicians, "pundits," and mainstream media.
Meanwhile, the truth and the facts about the black-budget world of covert action migrates to isolated ghettos inhabited by independent… Continue reading

I'm pleased to introduce another guest blogger for this post, our Marketing Intern, Angela:
They're flying in the lift towers today!! Want to talk about precision? It took genius engineering, one sweet chopper, one very skilled pilot, and not-to-mention lots of heli fuel (the amount of which was undisclosed!), but the new lift has finally arrived! This will be an exciting addition to Park City Mountain Resort, improving terrain access, spreading out the crowds, and adding variety. The new lift, taking guests from the base area to the top of Crescent Ridge, will provide access to Silverlode, King Con, Bonanza, Pioneer, and McConkey's. If you haven't seen this chopper fly… you're really missing out.
I understand Park City Resort offers law enforcement a discounted ski pass purchase oppertunity. This is great to hear. I think the law enforcement community needs to be recongized by more organizations for their service. However, I also understand that currently this offer is not given to ALL law enforcement accross the board. I do not think this is a fair practice. What is Park City Resort willing to do to recognize ALL law enforcement???
Eric replies:
salt Lake City Resident, we currently have an agreement through which we offer Park City Police Department officers a special season pass rate. Our Director of Resort Services, let me know that, "extending this policy to all law enforcement and fire department officials, is something that we are willing to look at in the coming years." Please let me know if there is anything else I can look into for you regarding this.

text: The Beautiful Tree: A Personal Journey Into How the World's Poorest People Are Educating Themselves (Paperback) $9.95 James Tooley Also available in these formats Price eBook $6.99 About the Book Upon its release several years ago, The Beautiful Tree was instantly embraced and praised by individuals and organizations across the globe. James Tooley's extraordinary ability to braid together personal experience, community action, individual courage, and family devotion, brought readers to the very heart of education. This book follows Tooley in his travels from the largest shanty town in Africa to the mountains of Gansu, China, and of the children, parents, teachers, and entrepreneurs who taught him that the poor are not waiting for educational handouts. They are building their own schools and learning to save themselves. Now in paperback with a new postscript, The Beautiful Tree is not another book lamenting what has gone wrong in some of the world's poorest communities. It is a book about what is going right, and powerfully demonstrates how the entrepreneurial spirit and the love of parents for their children can be found in every corner of the globe. RECIPIENT OF THE SIR ANTONY FISHER INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL AWARD About the Author James Tooley is an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and a professor of education policy at Newcastle University. There he is the director of the E. G. West Centre, which is dedicated to choice, competition, and entrepreneurship in education. Fresh out of college in the early 1980s, Tooley went to Zimbabwe to become a public school teacher. Now an award-winning scholar featured in PBS and BBC documentaries, he has written several books, and his work has been covered in Newsweek, the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. Building on his research, Tooley has dedicated himself to creating working models of innovative practice in low-cost private education, to help showcase its potential to extend access to and improve educational opportunities for all, including Omega Schools, a chain of low-cost private schools in Ghana.

Staff Reporter / 11 February 2013
The ability of coral reefs in the Arabian Gulf to survive in exceptionally high temperatures will provide important scientific insights for the future of coral reefs throughout the world, scientists from New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and the University of Southampton at the National Oceanography Centre (NOCS), UK, said.
Coral reefs thrive at a temperature of around 28 degrees Celsius, and even slight warming can result in mortality; yet those in the Arabian Gulf are able to withstand temperature of 36 degrees Celsius.
NYUAD and NOCS are collaborating to develop a more robust picture of how extreme temperatures impact coral communities in the region, and to better understand the mechanisms that allow these corals to survive in relatively hostile environmental conditions.
Research published this week in the scientific journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin, has found that the prevalent algae species found in Gulf corals are a "generalist" type also found in other climates, not the "thermo-tolerant" strains previously believed to help corals survive the region's high temperatures.
"Corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae that live within their tissue and provide them with food. There are many groups of such algae out there, and some are considered more tolerant of high temperatures than others. What this recent collaborative research has shown is that Gulf corals are dominated by algae that were not previously thought to be tolerant of thermal stress," Dr John Burt, head of Marine Biology Laboratory at NYUAD, explained.
"We see that the algae are indeed special in Gulf corals, but in a way that we did not expect," said Dr Joerg Wiedenmann, head of the Coral Reef Laboratory at NOCS.

Sonnet for Fenris
The patterns and the habits of a slave
Are all he knows for endless, painful years
And even once he runs, he can't behave
As though he's free; he's driven by his fears.
The choking hate he raises as a wall
So none may see the pliant slave within.
He tries to raise his eyes and to stand tall
With mage's shackles carved into his skin
And shoulders bowed against the pending blow.
He watches, and he sees the many ways
That others wear their freedom, as they go
About their simple lives and sweeter days.
He'll learn that pride and ease, he swears. He'll try
To break his slave's mentality, or die.

Wisconsin Population Growing Slowly
Wisconsin's population is growing at a glacial rate. That's according to new census bureau numbers released today. The state gained just about 25 thousand people from April of 2010 through July of 2011. That's a rate of just .4%, which is about half the national rate of population growth of just under one percent. Wisconsin now has about 5.7 million people. Overall, the U.S. population increased by 2.8 million to 311.6 million.

Any Piece of Booking You Didn't Like: World title match.I don't have a problem with the way that Kidd won, a DDT to a steel chair is a big move move in my eyes.But i felt the need to see more in that match.It was short and not enough things in it for a world title match.I'm not saying that the match was a disappointment i just wanted to see more.Still was a good match
Any Matches and/or Promos That Could've Been Improved: Already said
Any Other Positives: Many said that they didn't like the Goldberg vs Ryback finish.I disagree and i can see why you did it.Also the United Kingdom vs. Angle & Black match was really good
Anything else that fell below your expectation: Already said
How would you improve the negative comments (if any): In the future try to balance the two world title matches and make both of them really good not one of them stealing the show.
Overall Show Grade: B+

So, yeah, that was a barrel of monkeys. It's one thing for the offensive line to be in shambles — we've come to expect that. But when the defensive front seven gets so convincingly manhandled that any running back can go for 155 yards, there are reasons for concern. (And that was an easy 155 for Arian Foster. I'm not sure he broke a sweat.)
But we're only a week into the season, it is what it is, the standard is the standard and so on and so forth. Whatever your favorite Tomlinism, the reality is that Roethlisberger may or may not play against the Titans Sunday, and if he does, there's no guarantee he'll finish given the current state of, well, everything.
I wasn't ready to buy into the DEFENSE IS OLD meme that we've heard since Week 1 but the Steelers aren't doing much to prove the critics wrong. Anyway, we talk about the Texans game and, surprisingly, there aren't many positives.

THE quest for clean, smog-free air is today pursued with almost religious zeal in many Western cities. In the US especially, laws on less-polluting fuels and clean-engine technologies have ensured that several places are experiencing their cleanest air for years.
But progress in urban air quality has come at a price, and in some US states it is the groundwater that is picking up the tab. In 1990, the US Clean Air Act obliged areas with poor air quality to add chemicals called oxygenates to their petrol to increase its oxygen content and improve combustion, thereby reducing emissions. However, the most commonly used oxygenate, methyl

You probably know by now that I'm a peanut butter and chocoholic. Not so surprisingly, my favorite candy happens to be Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Forget the five-second rule with these babies; short of someone stepping on it, I'd be inclined to eat one that's been on the floor for days.
So lately all the great blogging ladies I follow have been whipping up yummy Reese's desserts. Like Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel's Reese's Stuffed Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies. Uh, YUM. Or how about Jocelyn @ Inside BruCrew Life's adorable Reese's Turkeys? All these desserts had been causing extreme cravings on my part. So I came home from work one night last week and went on a rampage in my kitchen, looking for anything and everything PB&C related. Luckily, I always have two things on hand no matter what: Reese's baking chips and peanut butter cups.
I knew I didn't want to just chow down on the peanut butter cups or baking chips themselves, so I needed to incorporate them into a dessert somehow. But not just any dessert, no, this dessert had to be packed with chocolate, peanut butter and more chocolate and peanut butter. Are you getting the drift? I hope so. That's where the shortbread came into play. I didn't want to use a regular shortbread so using inspiration from my Chocolate Shortbread Blondies with Macaroon Topping, I decided to go with chocolate shortbread. It worked brilliantly! Try these for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
Reese's Chocolate Shortbread Bars
|Meal type
- 2 sticks butter (cold)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3-5 tablespoons water
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips
- 10-12 Reese's peanut butter cups (chopped)
|Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
|In a large bowl, sift sugar, flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
|Cut butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is best done one stick of butter at a time, with each stick cut into tablespoon-sized pieces.
|Put mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time, up to 5 tablespoons, mixing until dough just comes together.
|Press half of the dough into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips and peanut butter chips on top of dough. Sprinkle chopped up Reese's peanut butter cups on top of that.
|With remaining dough, drop by spoonfuls on top of Reese's peanut butter cups. Do not spread this out - pieces of the middle layer should peak through.
|Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

New Delhi: Herbalife India, a leading weight management, nutrition and personal care company, today launched Afresh instant energy drink mix in a new Elaichi flavour. Specifically produced to cater for the Indian consumers, this product can be purchased from the nearest Herbalife independent Distributors.
First launched in 2004, Afresh has received phenomenal feedback and users have long been expecting new flavours over the years. Inspired by the Indian palate, the Elaichi flavour is 100% vegetarian and like other Herbalife inner nutrition products, it is localized to suit local favour and created in accordance with Herbalife's science based philosophy. Afresh is primarily an energy booster and can be consumed either hot or cold anytime of the day and comes in two other flavours, lemon and peach.
Commenting on the launch of the new flavour, Ajay Khanna, Country Head, Herbalife India said, "Herbalife recently completed 10 successful years in India, indicating a growing demand for health products in the market and also resonating the current trend of leading an active, healthy life amongst a large number of Indians. We are constantly working in tandem with these trends to provide healthy meal options, fulfilling Herbalife's vision of 'Changing People's Lives' and contributing to a healthier world."
The Afresh energy drink contains two essential ingredients, the exotic Guarana plant which is native to the Amazon forests, and Orange Pekoe. The presence of Guarana in the drink helps sharpen mental alertness, reduces fatigue and elevates energy levels. On the other hand, Orange Pekoe acts as an active thermogenic and antioxidant resulting in the increased levels of calorie burning and fat oxidation, in addition to lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Herbalife recently announced their completion of 10 successful years in India as well as their plans for expansion across India.

Our area was hit by tornadoes and other severe weather last week. Many families and individuals had homes, farms and businesses damaged, including weather damage, power outages and numerous other loses.
If you have had power outages and were without electricity or a cold source, foods stored in refrigerators and freezers can become unsafe. Bacteria in food grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees. If these foods are eaten, people can become very sick.
The 2011 feeder cattle market reached its low in September, one month earlier than 2010. Prices improved in each of the following months and have literally risen on a weekly basis since the first of the year.
5wt feeder steers averaged over $165 in the first week of February, with some groups much higher than that. 7wt steers averaged around $140, with some groups pushing $150.
Many may consider Kentucky a "water-rich" state with over 90,000 miles of streams and rivers, thousands of ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands and approximately 50 inches of precipitation per year. So, it's not surprising that water, one of our most valuable natural resources, is often taken for granted. For many Kentuckians, fresh water is no more than a turn of the faucet, the push of a button or the twist of a cap away. However, as consumers and users of water, it is our responsibility to manage our water resources efficiently.
Carroll County Extension Homemakers will hold their annual International Luncheon at noon Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the Carroll County Extension office.
This year's theme is "A Visit to Brazil." Guest speaker is Francisco Leité, a Carroll County resident who is originally from Brazil.
Members are encouraged to attend this annual event. Recipes for some Brazilian dishes are available at the Carroll County Extension office.
Preventing childhood obesity
After several years of pilot tests in states surrounding Kentucky, the seasonal high-tunnel program through the NRCS EQIP program is available in Kentuc-ky.
High tunnels are of continuing interest to small vegetable producers because they facilitate direct marketing programs, extend the season, allow farmers to increase income, and allow for popular early-tomato production, which is very popular.
Kentucky has a rich tradition of hospitality and good food. A new Web page on the College of Agriculture website will help people make food connect-ions. The site can be found at www.ca.uky.edu/foods.
It will help people find Kentuc-ky-grown foods in their county or surrounding area and give them more access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
The deadline for horse owners to send in their contact information for the participation in the Kentuc-ky Equine Survey is Feb. 17.
The purpose of the survey is to estimate the number of horses in Kentucky by county, breed and use. This information can then be used to examine the impact of the state's signature industry. The actual survey will take place this summer.
The Senate passed several bills this week. Of these bills, three education bills are of particular importance.
Many students feel bored with the pace of high school during their senior year. Senate Bill 86, passed with bipartisan support, helps focus our students on the higher challenges required of them. It provides an early graduation option to high school students who meet course requirements, grade point average and college readiness standards.

QUINCY, Pa. -- Authorities in south-central Pennsylvania say a man charged in the shooting deaths of his estranged wife, her boyfriend and his mother admits he'd "messed up."
Thirty-five-year-old Kevin Cleeves is charged with three counts of criminal homicide in the Friday night deaths of 25-year-old Brandi Cleeves, 28-year-old Vincent Santucci and 55-year-old Rosemary Holma.
Pennsylvania state police say Cleeves went to Santucci's house to confront his estranged wife about custody arrangements and was asked to leave but instead opened fire. He then took the girl and fled.
He was arrested about 250 miles away in Austintown, Ohio, outside Youngstown. The girl is safe. Cleeves faces an extradition hearing Monday. Court records don't list an attorney for him.

Forensic Scientist Dr. Henry C. Lee
Contact: Karla Lopez
Expert had role in Simpson, Ramsey, Peterson and other high-profile cases
WESTON, Fla. – Dr. Henry C. Lee, one of the world's foremost forensic scientists, will speak at American InterContinental University (AIU) on Monday, January 26, 2009 at 6 p.m. in room 219, at AIU South Florida located at 2250 N. Commerce Parkway in Weston. The event is free and open to the public.
Dr. Lee's landmark work in criminal investigation has made him a prominent participant in more than 8,000 cases over the past 45 years, consulting for more than 800 law enforcement agencies. His testimony figured prominently in the O. J. Simpson trial, and in the conviction of the "Woodchipper" murderer. Dr. Lee has assisted local and state police in other high profile criminal investigations, including the murder of Jon Benet Ramsey; the 1993 suicide of White House Counsel Vincent Foster; the murder of Chandra Levy; the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart; the Laci Peterson murder case, and the reinvestigation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
"It is a great honor to have Dr. Lee speak at AIU and bring his expertise on forensic science and criminal investigation to our students and to the public," said Vincent P. Como, Chair of the Criminal Justice Department at AIU.

With his wife, Margaret, Dr. Lee relocated to the United States in 1965, and he earned a B.S. in Forensic Science from John Jay College in 1972. Dr. Lee continued his studies in biochemistry at NYU where he earned his Masters Degree in 1974 and Ph.D. in 1975. He has also received special training from the FBI Academy, ATF, RCMP, and other organizations. He is a recipient of eleven honorary Doctorate Degrees from Universities in recognition of his contributions to Law and Science. As a professor who has taught at more than a dozen universities, Dr. Lee joined the University of New Haven in 1975, where he created the school's Forensic Sciences program.

President Barack Obama called Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino on Friday to offer ongoing federal help in the Boston bombing investigation, and to express condolences for a police officer killed in the search for suspects.
"The President said that the entire country is behind the people of Boston as well as Massachusetts, and that the full force of the federal government will continue to be made available until those responsible are brought to justice," a White House official said.
Obama stayed out of the public eye on Friday after traveling to Boston on Thursday to speak at a service for the victims of Monday's bombing.
Top White House officials continue to watch the situation and brief Obama, the White House said.

Colossal Aug. 17 Nebraska supercell will blow your mind (VIDEO)
Can you find the funnel cloud in this planetoid-sized thunderstorm cloud in Nebraska?
The storms that swept over the Midwest on Wednesday were ugly and primeval. Supercells unleashed baseball-sized "and even larger" hail onto sections of South Dakota's Interstate 90, bashing out windshields and halting traffic. Sixty or 70 m.p.h. wind gusts ripped trees from the ground and stripped the roofs off two barns in Kansas.
Near Mullen, Neb. – the "biggest little town in Hooker County" – an incredibly odd storm cloud formed in front of the eyes of Andy Gabrielson and Dick McGowan. It sort of looked like a clay pot made by the gods, perhaps on their first try at the wheel. The thing was misshaped but fierce-looking, and had already spurred the National Weather Service to issue one tornado warning.
The two men are behind the storm-chasing project, Find the Tornado. In this instance it seems like they might've found the tornado. A weakish funnel cloud appears to be spinning in the bottom righthand corner of the video. The whole planetoid-sized cloud is slowly spinning, too. Say the videographers:
Saw a funnel cloud near Cody, large hail near Mullen, and amazing storm structure south of Mullen, the back 3/4 of the video is time lapsed 4X speed...
Nebraska truly has the best storms. And it can keep them, too. For more tornadoes these guys are finding, visit their YouTube stream.

Does this case have to do with the weather? You've been posting it everywhere you demented military hater.
Temperature has dropped from a high of 98 to 80. No rain so far, but breezy, thunder, and can see lightning.
It's funny because you are making joke about science geeks being excited about weather! Oh ha ha ha! Sorry to hear about your small *****.
