Chicago's other missing link: A second line center
Jul 26, 2012, 5:18 PM EDT
When you look up and down the Chicago Blackhawks' roster, it's one oozing with talent. Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, and Brent Seabrook.
While we've talked about how goalie is one weakness for them, another one is hidden in plain view. They need a solid No. 2 center.
Last season they used Kane and Sharp up the middle to try and balance out their highly talented top two lines and while Kane got a shot to stay there, it ultimately ended with a thud. Both Kane and Sharp are clearly more comfortable on the wing.
Dave Bolland is a guy who excels as a center but he's a third line guy with his defensive ability. When you consider the rumor involving Bolland being dangled to Vancouver for Roberto Luongo, the one thing stopping that from making total sense is the gaping hole in the middle it would leave for the Blackhawks.
When you look at Chicago's farm system, there's one guy with the potential to maybe help on the second line in Brandon Pirri, but he still needs more AHL seasoning.
Without much help left in free agency (Daymond Langkow? Jason Arnott?) the Blackhawks might have to swing a deal if they're going to improve the second line center spot. With how Stan Bowman has played it cool in the past, don't expect a big shakeup.

Joe, you seem to have forgotten that the Hawks also tried Marcus Kruger in the middle last season too. And he didn't do a poor job. Sure, he's green and could use some extra bulk, but from what I saw last season, Kruger looks like a viable option at center if he can keep improving. In my opinion, Marcus Kruger is very underrated. Even Patrick Sharp said he was underrated and was doing a great job of setting up him and Hossa. I say give him a chance to prove himself. He could be a great center, but we'll never know unless he's given a chance.

Bowman was GM when they won the Cup, but it was Tallon who built the team. Bowman needs to step-up and make a move because another 1st round departure should signal his firing.
- danphipps01 - Jul 26, 2012 at 10:16 PM
Hard truth is, he just doesn't quite live up to the name. I mean, he's alright. I don't think he's an awful GM or anything. Tallon's roster was impossible to maintain and Bowman had to deal with the realities of the salary cap era. That having been said… yeah, three consecutive flops is enough for a team with as much talent as Chicago's got right now.
- irishraj - Jul 26, 2012 at 11:22 PM
Tallon not only built the team, but was the GM for the Stanley Cup Champs. He was let go, two months after they won. Bowman took over from there and began the salary dumping. While he had no choice but to get rid of salary, he sure hasnt done anything to improve the team over the last couple years.
- esracerx46 - Jul 27, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Stan Bowman was named GM of the Chicago Blackhawks July 19, 2009. Dale Tallon stayed on staff until after the season ended.
- nobandwagoners - Jul 26, 2012 at 5:42 PM
The one thing stopping Bolland for Luongo making total sense is that Bolland is a checking third line, agitating centre – not anywhere near an equivalent trade value for Luongo. Bolland is good at what he does but he's not, with respect, at the same level of talent. Maybe Bolland + ….
Of course, Luongo does come with a big contract (although in reality, you could expect Luongo to play maybe 4-5 years before he bows out). So there is the big contract; I'll give you that, so that should be mentioned but to suggest that Bolland for Luongo makes sense other than leaving Chicago w/o a centreman, well, c'mon.

Bolland for bobby lu. No way hawks fans would burn the town down.
- ikillchicken - Jul 26, 2012 at 9:21 PM
See, this is where I just gotta think moving Kane is the answer. Not because Kane is bad but just because he's relatively expendable. They have a surplus of talented wingers. It only make sense to deal from that position of strength to address their need at centre. Yeah, they could try to pick up someone to fill in via free agency but come on. Teams live and die by their centres. They don't just need a mediocre plug. They need someone actually good.
- juzzi7 - Jul 27, 2012 at 4:44 AM
Why on earth would they trade a face of the franchise away? Although I think there would be pretty good offers from teams as Kane has the ability to be a gamechanger and is a proven playoffperformer and his playstyle is very special and valuable for the team. People who say he doesn't backcheck "at all" is just stupid, It's rarely his guy who scores or makes the big play to score.

The locket NNL means is the one they find when they are cleaning Grimmauld Place. Most people believe that is the true horocrux, hidden in the house by RAB.
Funny, I didn't remember that part. Guess I'll have to read the book again.
I didn't pick up on it when I read the book either. Thank God for message boards with people who do pick up on this stuff!
I'm with Sam ... I love the books and I love the movies. But they are 2 totally seperate things.
I think not including Neville in the prophesy was the right thing to do in the movies. Why? Because Neville's part in the movies is not as big as his part in the book. And it would have left those who have not read the books scratching their heads.
The movies, whether you are agree or not, are bigger than the books. I only just read the books earlier this year, so this was the first movie I saw after reading the books. There are millions of other people who have not read the books, who probably will never read the books.
Does that mean that they should sacrifice the movie audience so those of us who also read the books can get more stuff that most people wouldn't understand.
IMO ... no they shouldn't.

Harry Potter 5
6:50 @ Long Island
90-95% full (in large AMC theater)
Golden Compass - No reaction (looks like crap)
Stardust - None again (cheap using Narnia to advertise it)
The Bourne Ultimatum - Some general reaction (crappy trailer)
Enchanted - A lot of laughter (half this-looks-stupid laughter and half this-looks-really-funny laughter)
10,000 BC - No reaction other than "Huh?"
Get Smart - Biggest laughs of them all, audience was cracking up
Fred Claus - A few this-looks-stupid chuckles, but not much more
Also getting good reaction was an advertisement for ABC's Pushing Daisies
As for the movie itself, I give it a C ! It was by far the worst Potter in the series (which is ashame considering OotP was the 2nd best book so far). Chucks of the movie were missing and the direction was just bad (should have kept Mike Newell). I would have rather stood the extra 30-60 minutes if it meant they would actually do justice to the book.
The only stand-outs in the movie were Alan Rickman as Snape (despite being in only like 15 minutes of the movie) and of course Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge (she just nailed the character down perfect). Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegod was also a nice addition.
Overall, a serious disappointed that was certainly not shared by me alone. Everyone I heard coming out of the theater was speaking of the scenes not included and how the movie didn't do the book justice.
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality. - Walt Disney
The movies bring the books to life- I for one am glad they do not mirror them exactly and so far I think they have cut parts very appropriately. I knew some of the lines that were coming because they were straight from the books!
The only above trailers we didn't see with the midnight showing was Stardust and the third Bourne movie.
Fans went nuts with Get Smart and were laughing with Fred Clause and some shouted out "MCDREAMY!!!!!" with the enchanted trailer. But that gets a "I'll pass" from me.

Saw it again, IMAX 3D. Worth the price - the 3D was AWESOME.
I liked it A LOT better this time. I think it was easier to separate the movie from the book, and as a movie in a series, it was really good.
And Lucius, so evil.
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
I liked it better the second time, too. I think it's easier to take it for what it is on the second go-round. The first time you get so busy anticipating things that you can't enjoy it as much, and the second time you can see the bigger picture.
A signature should go here.
The fact that the locket is NOT introduced in the movie raises huge flags in my mind. Granted, I'm a little too lazy to do it myself, but I'm sure someone on here can find me the quote from OotP about the locket they find. Ready...GO!
The reason I ask, of course, is because I am curious to see how the locket is described in that scene. One of the things I'm already set up to be disappointed in is that while it is true that they couldn't open it...wouldn't they SEE Slytherin's symbol on the locket. Even if it was on the other side, they'd still see it, I'm sure of it. I think it is poor writing if that turns out to BE the Horcrux just because it would be like mentioning Harry's scar as just a scar and then in the last book being like "Oh, by the way, Harry's scar had all these other properties the entire time that I just didn't tell you about...oopsie!"
We'll see soon, though.

Thief River Falls dairy farm declared health hazardAfter failing to meet a June 12 deadline to remove manure from three uncovered outdoor basins, a rural Thief River Falls 1,500-cow dairy farm that has been declared a public health hazard has been granted another month to get the job done.
By: Kevin Bonham, Grand Forks Herald
THIEF RIVER FALLS – After failing to meet a June 12 deadline to remove manure from three uncovered outdoor basins, a rural Thief River Falls 1,500-cow dairy farm that has been declared a public health hazard has been granted another month to get the job done.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Citizens Board on Tuesday set a new deadline of July 20 for the dairy, which operates under the corporate name of Dairy Dozen, LLC, according to Gaylen Reetz, director of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's regional division.
"They made it clear that their expectation is that there be some resolution prior to next board meeting," Reetz said.
Representatives for Excel Dairy told the board at the meeting Tuesday in St. Paul that the dairy has a company under contract to get the basins pumped out within a matter of weeks, as soon as it's dry enough to accomplish the task, according to Reetz.
Excel Dairy, which opened in 2007, has been shut down since January, after Minnesota Health Department air-quality tests showed average hydrogen sulfide levels in the surrounding air exceeded state and federal standards throughout much of 2008.
The Citizens Board granted the dairy a new one-year operating permit at its April 28 meeting, stipulating that dairy cows cannot be returned to the dairy and it cannot open until the basins are cleaned and covered.
Other requirements the dairy must meet to comply with the permit deal with the size and number of cows allowed at the facility.
The dairy is located in Marshall County, just across the Pennington County line.
The county feedlot ordinance does not apply to Excel because the dairy was operating before the law was adopted. But the county ordinance would apply if the dairy would expand or modify its operation.
The dairy was licensed to operate with 1,545 animal units.
At the April 28 meeting, neighbors, county officials and representatives of the state attorney general's office argued that a new permit be denied and that the dairy should be closed permanently.

Right after 9/11, I remember talking to my women's group and saying I just don't think this could have happened without someone knowing about it and allowing it to," says Fran Shure. "It was totally intuitive, because I knew nothing. And that was received with a lot of censoring remarks. I just looked at them and said, you know, I have the right to think the unthinkable and I'm going to look into this. And lo and behold, a video came my way and then a book and I was in shock, like most people would be, reading about evidence that showed we were not told the truth about what happened on 9/11."
A retired psychotherapist and landscape designer who successfully juggled both professions for 30 years, Shure grew up in Texas and has spent most of her life in Colorado. The many causes she has championed include working for a freeze on nuclear weapons, the anti-globalization movement, and recently, the Colorado Community Rights Amendment allowing communities to exclude heavy industry (such as fracking) from their communities, due to deep concerns about fracking's largely untested consequences for the environment. Initial doubts about what really happened on 9/11 and her subsequent inquiry ultimately spurred a kind of spiritual metamorphosis that continues to this day.

"Some stories are just too true to tell."
This quote from the trailer of "Kill the Messenger," a film about the life of reporter Gary Webb, who wrote on the CIA's role in drug trafficking in 1996, sums up exactly why reporters like Webb are important, and why understanding the role of powerhouses such as the CIA and other government organizations is crucial in how we see ourselves within our own country.
The movie is a close, dramatic retelling of the life of Gary Webb, who, when he broke the story of the Nicaraguan drug cartel that transported drugs to Los Angeles, received intense support and intense critique. Eventually San Jose Mercury, the newspaper that Webb wrote for, backed away from the story fearing severe backlash. This effectively ended Webb's career. The most heartbreaking moment in Webb's story is the story of his death, which the film does address. In 2004, Webb was found dead, he has apparently committed suicide.
The film's main objective is to address the role of the CIA during the Reagan administration in supporting, or at least ignoring, the Nicaraguan cocaine trade."The [New York] Times' resistance to accepting the reality of this major national security scandal under President Ronald Reagan even predated its tag-team destruction of Webb in the mid-1990s, when he was alternately pummeled by the Times, the Washington Post and the… Continue reading

The White House has played a larger role in the serious dispute between the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee over an ongoing investigation, according to reports.
President Obama's team has been withholding about 9,400 documents that the Intelligence Committee requested as part of its review of the CIA's now-defunct detention and interrogation program, McClatchy reports. Since 2009, the White House has ignored or rejected multiple requests from the committee to review the documents.
Mr. Obama said Wednesday he supports the committee's efforts. "We have worked with the Senate committee so that the report that they are putting forward is well-informed, and what I've said is that I am absolutely committed to declassifying that report as soon as the report is completed," he said.
The White House said in a statement to McClatchy that it withheld "a small percentage" of the 6.2 million pages of documents provided to the committee "because they raise executive branch confidentiality interests." The White House added it has worked closely with the committee "to ensure access to the information necessary to review the CIA's former program."
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. — who blew the lid open on the clash between the committee and the CIA on the Senate floor on Tuesday — has reportedly… Continue reading

After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress' investigative report on 9/11 dealing with "specific sources of foreign support" for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
It was kept secret and remains so today.
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isn't just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are "absolutely shocked" at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can't reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So they've proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, "Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001."
Some information already has leaked from the classified section, which is based on both CIA and FBI documents, and it points back to Saudi Arabia, a presumed ally.
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found "incontrovertible evidence" that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and… Continue reading

If the Bush Administration lied to justify waging a war against Iraq, what truths still lie buried beneath the official explanation for what happened on September 11 2001?
Before discussion about 9/11 was squeezed—in a pincer movement worthy of Hitler's Panzer divisions—between the so-called "official story" and the subsequent campaign of disinformation that gave conspiracy a bad name, there were some promising avenues of investigation where definitive answers might still be possible.
Here are a few that remain at the top of my list. There are many others.
On the 12th anniversary of the Sept 11 attack there has still been no official investigation into the murders of almost 3000 people that day. The Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee investigation, which met in secret, delivered a report famously containing 28 blank pages.
And anyone looking to the 9/11 Commission for answers had already been disillusioned, even before they issued "findings," because they were charged only with identifying what might have been done differently to prevent a future attack.
The FBI's ballyhooed 4000-man "largest investigation in history" lasted just a little more than three weeks, until someone—we still don't know who—mailed letters sprinkled with anthrax, changing the focus of the FBI investigation.
Days later, in an order describing the investigation of the terrorist hijackings as "the most exhaustive in its history," FBI Agents were ordered to curtail their investigation of the Sept. 11 attack. Officials said Robert Mueller, newly-sworn in… Continue reading

We have two new letters and an article at the Journal of 9/11 Studies.
The article by Jérôme Gygax and Nancy Snow is titled "9/11 and the Advent of Total Diplomacy: Strategic Communication as a Primary Weapon of War." Here's an excerpt.
"The 9/11 attacks were used to justify an institutional revolution meant to complete a process of integration and coordination of all the assets of US national power through a strategic communication (SC) campaign deployed on a global scale. The 'Global War on Terror' (GWOT) nurtured a narrative of crisis associated with this unprecedented public education effort. In order to sell its approaches, the United States government relied on a network of 'experts': military veterans, high‐ranking officers such as Admirals as well as professional journalists and academics who contributed to forging a consensus, or, as Michel Foucault would call it, a 'regime of truth' that claims a certain interpretation to be right and true, while ignoring or discrediting critics and dissenting narratives."
One letter is from Paul Schreyer and is called "Update: Anomalies of the Air Defense on 9/11." Schreyer writes:
"Miles Kara insists that these were unrelated events. He says there is nothing on the tapes indicating a correlation and he points out that the Langley jets also made no attempt to change their altitude to get closer to the 'Doomsday plane' while flying southwest. So it´s possible that Kara is right here. However one still can only wonder about the series of anomalies… Continue reading

The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 29, No. 1, July 29, 2013
For almost two centuries American government, though always imperfect, was also a model for the world of limited government, having evolved a system of restraints on executive power through its constitutional arrangement of checks and balances.
Since 9/11 however, constitutional practices have been overshadowed by a series of emergency measures to fight terrorism. The latter have mushroomed in size, reach and budget, while traditional government has shrunk. As a result we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.1
More and more, it is becoming common to say that America, like Turkey before it, now has what Marc Ambinder and John Tirman have called a deep state behind the public one.2 And this parallel government is guided in surveillance matters by its own Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as the FISA court, which according to the New York Times, "has quietly become almost a parallel Supreme Court."3 Thanks largely to Edward Snowden, it is now clear that the FISA Court has permitted this deep state to expand surveillance beyond the tiny number of known and suspected Islamic terrorists, to any incipient protest movement that might challenge the policies of the American war machine.…Continue reading
Preface: This is not a partisan post. We have repeatedly documented that Obama is as bad or worse than the Bush administration.
In the run up to the Iraq war – and for several years thereafter – the program of torture carried out by the Bush administration was specifically specifically aimed at establishing a false justification for war. Dick Cheney is the guy who pushed for torture, pressured the Justice Department lawyers to write memos saying torture was legal, and made the pitch to Congress justifying torture. (The former director of the CIA said Cheney oversaw American torture policies).
The type of torture used by the U.S. on the Guantanamo suspects is of a special type. Senator Levin revealed that the the U.S. used Communist torture techniques specifically aimed at creating false confessions (see this, this, this and this).
According to NBC News:
In fact, the 9/11 Commission Report was largely based on third-hand… Continue reading

Seasons greeting from your old friend Santa! My, my, Christmas is just two short weeks away, and everyone here at the North Pole can't wait to deliver presents to all you nice boys and girls this year. Yes, Jolly ol' St. Nicholas hopes you're all being as good as can be!
But today, Santa would like to tell you all about something very naughty, something very, very naughty indeed. Dear children, have you not heard? Why, 9/11 was an inside job! Oh, ho, ho, my, yes it was!
I mean, look at the facts, boys and girls! We already know the Bush administration was itching to go to war in Iraq, now, don't we? Yes, indeed we do, my darling ones! The Downing Street memo proves that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Then you look at the Presidential Daily Briefing of Aug. 6, 2001, the one headlined "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." Ignored! Why, children, they threw that briefing aside like used wrapping paper on Christmas morning, didn't they?
And remember, sweet little ones, Bin Laden never claimed responsibility for the attacks until 2004. Do you know how many years that is, boys and girls? Something was up the government's sleeve, and I'll let you in on a little secret: It wasn't sugar plums, oh, no! No, it was the ties between the bin Laden and Bush families. They've been under the mistletoe for decades, if you catch your old pal Kris Kringle's… Continue reading

In the summer of 2001, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Robert Wright, a counterterrorism expert from the Chicago office, made some startling claims about the Bureau in a written statement outlining the difficulties he had doing his job. Three months before 9/11, he wrote: "The FBI has proven for the past decade it cannot identify and prevent acts of terrorism against the United States and its citizens at home and abroad. Even worse, there is virtually no effort on the part of the FBI's International Terrorism Unit to neutralize known and suspected terrorists residing within the United States."[1]
Revelations since 9/11 have confirmed Wright's claims. FBI management did little or nothing to stop terrorism in the decade before 9/11 and, in some cases, appeared to have supported terrorists. This is more disturbing considering that the power of the FBI over terrorism investigations was supreme. In 1998, the FBI's strategic plan stated that terrorist activities fell "almost exclusively within the jurisdiction of the FBI" and that "the FBI has no higher priority than to combat terrorism."[2]
A number of people are suspect in these failures, including the leaders of the FBI's counterterrorism programs. But at the time of Wright's written complaint, which was not shared with the public until May 2002, the man most responsible was Louis Freeh, Director of the FBI from 1993 to 2001.

The CIA has released nearly 800 pages of newly declassified documents on Al Qaeda and the September 11 attacks.
The documents were released in response to an INTELWIRE Freedom of Information Act request for material referenced by the 9/11 Commission. Numerous documents were withheld, and those that were released have been heavily redacted. Despite this, it is highly unusual to receive any material from the CIA in response to a FOIA request, and they provide a fascinating look at the state of the agency's understanding of Al Qaeda over the years.
While much of the material has been previously described, by the 9/11 Commission and other sources, seeing the actual documents still has an impact. For instance, the following extracts: (See source).
The documents are presented here in two large PDFs. Each individual document is bookmarked within the PDF. Almost everything in the release was previously classified secret or top secret. The CIA also released several items already available on its Web site or in public testimony, which I omitted.
The documents are presented here in no particular order but I grouped material near the top related to warnings about the activities of Khalid Al Mihdhar, one of the hijackers, and material related to 1998 efforts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden together in roughly chronological order.
You are welcome to report from these documents, but you must credit Intelwire.com. If you wish to break out a specific document for a major media outlet, contact me.…Continue reading

Is there any truth in the allegations that informed circles made substantial profits in the financial markets in connection to the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States?
Arguably, the best place to start is by examining put options, which occurred around Tuesday, September 11, 2001, to an abnormal extent, and at the beginning via software that played a key role: the Prosecutor's Management Information System, abbreviated as PROMIS. [i]
PROMIS is a software program that seems to be fitted with almost "magical" abilities. Furthermore, it is the subject of a decades-long dispute between its inventor, Bill Hamilton, and various people/institutions associated with intelligence agencies, military and security consultancy firms. [1]
One of the "magical" capabilities of PROMIS, one has to assume, is that it is equipped with artificial intelligence and was apparently from the outset "able to simultaneously read and integrate any number of different computer programs or databases, regardless of the language in which the original programs had been written or the operating systems and platforms on which that database was then currently installed." [2]
And then it becomes really interesting:
… Continue reading
What would you do if you possessed software that could think, understand every major language in the world, that provided peep-holes into everyone else's computer "dressing rooms", that could insert data into computers without people's knowledge, that could fill in blanks beyond human reasoning, and also predict what people do – before they did it? You would probably use it, wouldn't you?

Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus (The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol 9, Issue 47 No 2)
I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency [the National Security Agency] and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return." — Senator Frank Church (1975)
I would like to discuss four major and badly understood events – the John F. Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11. I will analyze these deep events as part of a deeper political process linking them, a process that has helped build up repressive power in America at the expense of democracy.
In recent years I have been talking about a dark force behind these events — a force which, for want of a better term, I have clumsily called a "deep state," operating both within and outside the public state. Today for the first time I want to identify part of that dark force, a part which has operated for five decades or more at the edge of the public state. This part of the dark force has a name not invented by me: the Doomsday Project, the Pentagon's name for the emergency planning "to keep the White House and Pentagon running during and after a nuclear war or some other major crisis."1
My point is a simple and important one: to show that the Doomsday Project of the 1980s, and the earlier emergency planning that developed into it, have played a role in the background of all the deep events I shall discuss.…Continue reading
CIA Criminal Revolving Door: CIA Officer "Albert" Involved in False Intelligence Linking Al-Qaeda to Iran, Iraq
by Kevin Fenton
Reprimanded for Torture, Retired, then Back to CIA as a Contractor
A recent book by former FBI agent Ali Soufan shows that the same CIA officer was involved in generating intelligence that falsely linked al-Qaeda to first Iran and then Iraq. The officer was also involved in a notorious torture episode and was reprimanded by the Agency's inspector general.
The officer, who Soufan refers to as "Fred," but whose real first name is "Albert" according to a February 2011 Associated Press article, served at the CIA station in Jordan in 1999. During that time, al-Qaeda, aided by a collection of freelance terrorists headed by Abu Zubaidah, attempted to commit a series of attacks in the country, known as the Millennium Plot. However, the attacks were foiled by the local Jordanian intelligence service, working with the CIA and FBI.
During the investigations of the plotters, Albert drafted a series of official cables that were later withdrawn. Although the withdrawing of the cables was first mentioned in a July 2006 article by Lawrence Wright for the New Yorker, Wright did not mention what was in the cables or by whom they were drafted. The content of one of them and the drafter were first revealed upon the publication of Soufan's book in mid-September 2011.
According to Soufan, one of the twelve withdrawn cables falsely stated that the group of… Continue reading

A growing number of former government insiders — all responsible officials who served in a number of federal posts — are now on record as doubting ex-CIA director George Tenet's account of events leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Among them are several special agents of the FBI, the former counterterrorism head in the Clinton and Bush administrations, and the chairman of the 9/11 Commission, who told us the CIA chief had been "obviously not forthcoming" in his testimony and had misled the commissioners.
These doubts about the CIA first emerged among a group of 9/11 victims' families whose struggle to force the government to investigate the causes of the attacks, we chronicled in our 2006 documentary film "Press for Truth." At that time, we thought we were done with the subject. But tantalizing information unearthed by the 9/11 Commission's
final report and spotted by the families (Chapter 6, footnote 44) raised a question too important to be put aside:
Did Tenet fail to share intelligence with the White House and the FBI in 2000 and 2001 that could have prevented the attacks? Specifically, did a group in the CIA's al-Qaida office engage in a domestic covert action operation involving two of the 9/11 hijackers, that — however legitimate the agency's goals may have been — hindered the type of intelligence-sharing that could have prevented the attacks?…Continue reading

Despite threats of prosecution from the CIA, the makers of 9/11: Press For Truth have released their new documentary podcast Who Is Rich Blee?
This is Part 3 of our three-part one-of-a-kind interview series with author and researcher Paul Thompson. For additional background information please visit the complete 9/11 Timeline Investigative Project at HistoryCommons.Org.
Paul Thompson joins us to discuss one of the most blacked-out and censored aspects of Al-Qaeda-CIA connections: The partnership and alliance between the CIA and Al Qaeda and their joint operations in Central Asia, Balkans and Caucasus throughout the 1990's. Mr. Thompson talks about Al-Qaeda's Balkans operations, running training camps, money-laundering, and drug running networks in the region, Ayman Al-Zawahiri and his residence in Bulgaria in order to help manage the Al Qaeda effort in nearby Bosnia, the Al Qaeda cells in Chechnya and Azerbaijan, BCCI and more!

CIA's Maneuver: A Case of Bluffing? Buying Time? Or Something More?
Last week we broke the story of the CIA issued legal threats against producers Ray Nowosielski and John Duffy on their discovery of the identities of the two key CIA analysts who executed the Tenet-Black-Blee cover-up in the case of two key 9/11 hijackers. The analysts were referred to only by first names initially, but were going to be fully named in a follow up segment. It appears the story is still developing, but we now have further details on the case, an analysis by an expert producer, and a few comments on assessing the nature and possible implication of this move by the CIA.
I asked Mr. Nowosielski how the CIA was informed about the schedule and the content of their upcoming segment, and he provided us with the following details:
We emailed CIA Public Affairs on Thursday morning telling them of our intention to name two current agents in our journalism piece and explained the context of their use — the things they were accused of. We also explained that their names had been deduced through open-source materials and that our sources had told us they were working from headquarters.
As for the CIA's reaction and response Mr. Nowosielski recounted the following:

Their media spokesperson called back almost immediately. After a brief discussion, we emailed him the script for official reply. We also requested an interview with the two to ensure that we were telling the full story accurately.

Identifying Evolving Groups in Dynamic Multi-Mode Networks
Date Added: May 2010
Format: PDF
A multi-mode network consists of heterogeneous types of actors with various interactions occurring between them. Identifying communities in a multi-mode network can help understand the structural properties of the network, address the data shortage and unbalanced problems, and assist tasks like targeted marketing and finding influential actors within or between groups. In general, a network and its group structure often evolve unevenly. In a dynamic multimode network, both group membership and interactions can evolve, posing a challenging problem of identifying these evolving communities.

ancient unit of measure based on the forearm from elbow to fingertip, usually from 18 to 22 inches, early 14c., from Latin cubitum "the elbow," from PIE *keu(b)- "to bend." Such a measure, known by a word meaning "forearm" or the like, was known to many peoples (e.g. Greek pekhys, Hebrew ammah, English ell).
Heb. 'ammah; i.e., "mother of the arm," the fore-arm, is a word derived from the Latin cubitus, the lower arm. It is difficult to determine the exact length of this measure, from the uncertainty whether it included the entire length from the elbow to the tip of the longest finger, or only from the elbow to the root of the hand at the wrist. The probability is that the longer was the original cubit. The common computation as to the length of the cubit makes it 20.24 inches for the ordinary cubit, and 21.888 inches for the sacred one. This is the same as the Egyptian measurements. A rod or staff the measure of a cubit is called in Judg. 3:16 _gomed_, which literally means a "cut," something "cut off." The LXX. and Vulgate render it "span."

The North: a father and son Dempster tale
View Single Post
I just like riding
Joined: Dec 2007
Location: BC, Canada
Oddometer: 289
Day 1: Agassiz, BC, to Whiskers Point Provincial Park, BC
This was to be the longest riding day of our trip as per my itinerary (we all know how that goes), so we decided on an early start, fired up the bikes at the crack of dawn, and rolled out of the driveway, bid farewell by Mom and dog. As we were prepping the bikes in the morning, and for the first few hours, I had Montgomery Gentry's "Gone like a freight train" stuck in my head.
How fitting that, not 2Km into our voyage, we ran alongside the aforementioned freight train.
The morning started out cold through the Fraser Canyon, which meant bulky gloves, grip heaters on high, and no wiggle room for on-the-fly photography. Our first pee break landed us in Skihist park, just north of Lytton, along the Thompson River. I like to stop here for the green grass in the midst of desert-like conditions. An oasis, if you will.
The mounts were ready, not knowing the expanse of landscape that lay ahead of them.
We carried onward and northward, dropping alongside the Thompson for an exhilirating twisty section that was gobbled up readily. By all accounts, I was warned the next few days would yield very little in the paved curve category, so I siezed any opportunity to wear the sides of the tread and save the center for the Alaska Highway.
The road led us to Clinton, which came into view right around coffee time. We stopped at "the place" in Clinton. You know the one, where the locals go, and the actual business in a small town gets conducted. We tried to find "the place" at every coffee/lunch stop we took, and were quite lucky in finding it most of the time.
The hot topic was the unseasonably cool weather, with sidebar conversations including how much has changed over the past 10 years, and the new fence by the park. It was good to be there.
The one motorcycle-related concern we had at the outset from the trip was my Dad's range. We knew that it was going to dictate our fuel stops, so we sought out to find maximum range, first hitting reserve, then running the bike dry completely before topping up.
Dad had to be dramatic in where he hit reserve, not doing it in the laid-back, long stretches of highway, but instead in construction zones, where the traffic was congested and turn-offs were minimal.
Topping up before 100 Mile House
After 100 Mile, the road got more northern in feel. By northern, I mean long, straight, and dull. It's not the optimal road for travel, but at least it allows a person to put in some miles quickly and easily.
Lunch came late in McLeese Lake, and "the place" did not really feel like it until we received our food. There had been no work trucks parked outside, very little local activity in general, but we rolled the dice and came up victorious.
A pee break by a lake,
more construction, or at least the Saturday storage of construction equipment,
and more northern roads, broken up by photographical exploration,
was the extent of our afternoon activities.
We pressed on, the weather trying its hardest not to cooperate.
But, after a good solid day of riding, we made it to our originally planned destination: Whiskers Point Provincial Park.
We talked with the PFOs, inquired on bear activity (nonexistant was the reply), and bought ourselves some firewood to keep the buggies at a distance.
Final mileage, June 27th:
(Just for the record, this day's max speed was a little screwy for some reason. I don't think I ever got up that fast.. Honest, officer.)
Not a bad day. Dad said he'd still had more on reserve if we'd wanted to press on further, but we both thought it was probably best to pace ourselves, lest the trip be over too soon.
The night brought the faintest pattering of rain on the tents, but not enough to dampen our excitement for the days ahead.
Two wheels and half a brain.

48 year old woman | Anchorage, AK, USA | Seeking men 42-54 in Alaska, United States
Well, here it goes. I intend to be as honest as possible which is very important to me. I don't know if this is the best way to say this in a first presentation. I consider myself to be flexible in a relationship, hyperactive in the doing and adventuresome. I am independent and I love sharing. I enjoy life and especially nature. Three very important things to me are friendship, personal growth and solidarity (conserving water, the land, do thing for people, and creating community). I like meditation. Adore music. Travel a lot, truly. I prefer not eating animal products which include meat and dairy products. But sometimes I do especially if I know the source of the milk or free range eggs. I eat fish, love salmon. I'm not 100% strict about this but prefer to be among people who can respect it. I avoid commercial television etc. Movies and documentaries are just fine. Neither a possessive, drama partner. I am not a deceptive person and I don't want to be tested all the time. My profession is very important for me as is the same with a relationship. I love reading as much as friendship. Nature is my favorite place to be. I can enjoy cities. I am in the process of building my own home which I intend to be ecologically friendly built with soil and having the capacity to capture rain water, etc. It is not in Alaska to have an all year warm place. This is one of my great projects coming true. I am a student once again and this make me happy too. I would love to find a partner who loves nature and the simple things in life like walking, cooking, reading, kayaking, gardening. I am affectionate warm person.

This is an ideal album for younger children due to the simple language and characters.

Considering Newton's performance of late, what could he possibly tell RG3 that would be of any value. They both make piles of money, so they should just buck up and perform.
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 11/6/12
Cameron knows…… In the NFL these days your reputation is a week to week evaluation. RG3 still has a bit of a honeymoon period, but don't be shocked if the losing continues those Kirk Cousins whispers start getting louder. Cameron wants RG3 to know if he needs to talk he is there for him. "He gave me his number, told me to contact him," Griffin said after the game. "Basically we're both two young quarterbacks in this league trying to get better, trying to lead our teams to victory." That is a nice thing for Cameron to do, good to see they are looking out for each other. Maybe Michael Vick should call them both.

The Dallas Cowboys have added rookie running back Lance Dunbar to their 53-man roster from the practice squad. Dunbar was moved up Monday, when the Cowboys (2-2) returned to practice after their bye week. The speedy Dunbar could have a quick impact on kick returns. Receiver Raymond Radway was signed to the practice squad. He was with the team in camp the last two years, but missed all of the 2011 season on injured reserve because of a broken leg. Dunbar, the undrafted rookie from North Texas, ran for 105 yards with a 58-yard touchdown in the preseason finale against Miami.

AVM Curiosities has delved into the aromatic world of spice to create a series of art prints, made exclusively for Alchemy at the Southbank Centre (15 – 25 May). Fusing the contemporary with the traditional, the pattern will be made using an antique Indian woodblock carving, while the paint will be created from spices using AVM's brand new pigment recipe. Each print will also be paired with a background story: painting a picture of where that spice came from and bringing a new context to both the image and the aroma.
Plants and natural dyes have been used as pigments for thousands of years; from rhubarb and iron in medieval German manuscripts, to turmeric and charcoal on ancient Indian scrolls. From the brightest cumin and its explosion of vivid yellows, to the deep cadmium red of saffron and paprika, Aromatic Art explores the creative potential of this rich natural pallet of colours, flavours and sensations.
Aromatic Art: The Spice Print Edition | World of Zing Bar & Gallery, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX | 15-25 May 2015 (12pm-9pm) | Free Entry
'Fashion is a big bubble, and sometimes I feel like popping it.' - Alexander McQueen
As part of the Alexander McQueen Friday Late at the V&A, AVM Curiosities present London's first completely edible bubbles. The interactive installation takes a murky black liquid, and transforms it into beautiful orbs of light. The tension between beauty and the grotesque is explored as the black bubbles float freely around the space only to be ravenously consumed by the viewer.
In celebration of McQueen's legacy the piece is both silly and cerebral: a comment on the dark undercurrents of his life and work, and yet also, more poignantly, a proclamation of creativity, nostalgia and fun.
Obsidian Air by AVM Curiosities | Spectacle of the Species: Friday Late | Victoria & Albert Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 2RL | 27th March 2015 | 6.30-10pm | FREE ENTRY.

In combining the overlooked art of sugar sculpture with traditional Turkish carpentry, AVM Curiosities' installation for the 2014 Istanbul Design Biennial challenges our perceptions of the edible world around us, engaging our intellects and senses in a new consideration of food culture.
The inspiration for the installation refers to a quote by Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi; 'This sea of sugar knows no shore, no boundary'. In keeping with the spiritual nature of the source, the work will have an almost altar like quality to it, with the sugar patterns radiating like waves and rosewater scented air being a reference to ritual purification, and the scent's association with the prophet Muhammad.
This Sea of Sugar Knows No Bounds is at the Galata Greek School, Kemeralti, Cad No. 49, 34425 Galata, Beyoglu, Istanbul | From 1 November – 14 December 2014.

As part of the Iconoclasts of Taste project, AVM Curiosities present The Ophelia; a limited edition cocktail made in collaboration with Grey Goose's Oli Blackburn and the Gilbert Scott.
The Ophelia is a liquid lament on Ophelia's last lines in Hamlet where the character rants and raves about the flowers before her watery demise. In keeping with the tragic tale, the cocktail has floral notes mixed with classic orchard fruits, and comes complete with an edible cocktail card in the form of Millais's famous rendition of the subject.
The Ophelia is available to order at The Gilbert Scott, Kings Cross, from 16th - 25th September 2013.
AVM Curiosities are proud to announce their first solo show at Herrick Gallery, London. Ambergris is an olfactory and edible exploration of one of nature's most curious scents. This aromatic artefact has been used in everything from Indian ink to aphrodisiacs, and everywhere from Ancient Egypt to 21st century Paris.
Join AVM Curiosities at Herrick Gallery this June for an introduction to this oceanic enigma, through a collection of historical objects, contemporary photography and edible curiosities. Think the Wellcome Collection but lickable…
Ambergris | Herrick Gallery, London | 14 June - 4 July 2013 | With thanks to Christopher Kemp, whose book 'Floating Gold: A Natural (and Unnatural) History of Ambergris' was a key factual resource for this exhibition.
Taking an established art form and turning it on its head, the Edible Print Project bypasses the conventional canon in place of transience and temporality. Working with 8 contemporary artists to produce a limited run of 25 edible prints, we have created a collection inspired by the themes of feasting and decay, the ethereal and the bodily.
The Edible Print Project exists in two halves; starting with a display at the Art Car Boot Fair in association with Herrick Gallery, and followed by an exhibition at The House Gallery as part of the Camberwell Arts Festival.
For more information on the artists and organisations involved please click here to view the full press release.
In collaboration with The Curious Confectioner and Conjurer's Kitchen, AVM Curiosities present The Edible Vanitas Case.
Memento Mori is a thematic showcase of historical relics and contemporary artworks, exploring the eternal subjects of life, death, and time. Crafted from transient materials, The Edible Vanitas Case is a celebration of these universal inspirations.
Alongside artists including Jake & Dinos Chapman, Nancy Fouts and Butch Anthony, the work will be displayed for the duration of the show, but uniquely consumed on the final day. A print of the piece will also be available for purchase at the gallery.

The history of London as a culinary capital has not always been so sweet; alongside our edible elite we have a chronicle of counterfeit confectionery and falsified foodstuffs. From children's sweets dyed with copper, to wine sweetened with lead, our approach to food has always been experimental to say the least.
In this exclusive event for House of Wolf, AVM Curiosities present an alternative history of London's fraudulent food. Uncover the secrets of the sweet shoppe as we venture back to the 1800s with Food Historian Tasha Marks, and experience first-hand the sensational nature of sweets with your own bag of edible marvels.
Toxic Treats: A Dark History of Britain's Sweets | 7 March 2013 | With thanks to Bee Wilson, whose book 'Swindled: The Dark History of the Food Cheats' was a key factual resource for this project.
