Age Bias
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
RAY SUAREZ: In a twist, the court is being asked whether age bias applies to younger workers. Today's arguments focused on claims of reverse discrimination, that older employees are favored in its company's retirement plans. Here to tell us more about today's proceedings is NewsHour regular Jan Crawford Greenburg of the Chicago Tribune.
Jan, I guess the journey to the Supreme Court starts in this case with General Dynamics and a group of its workers.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: That's right. This case came about when General Dynamics in 1997 negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement with its union. Now, that agreement provided that General Dynamics would give retiree health benefits only to those workers who retired with 30 years seniority, and who were at least 50 years old by July of 1997. So a group of younger workers, those who were from age 40 to age 50, said wait a minute, this violates federal law. The federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. They pointed to that law, filed a lawsuit said what General Dynamics was doing was flatly illegal.
RAY SUAREZ: What does the ADEA say that allowed them to point say, "look, this is clearly not right?"
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: The Age Discrimination Act prohibits employers from discriminating people because of their age, in hiring, firing, and terms and conditions of employment. And the language is pretty clear. It says that employers can't discriminate against any such individual because of their age. And it applies to people who are older, who are 40 years old and older.
So the workers in this case at General Dynamics who were aged 40 to 50 who weren't going to get those retiree health benefits said that General Dynamics was violating the law. And a lower court agreed, a federal appeals court agreed. And so General Dynamics took its case to the Supreme Court today.
RAY SUAREZ: And once it got to court, I mean, isn't this what they call a prima facie case, that the law says XYZ and if you don't do XYZ…
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: That was certainly the argument of the younger older workers, those a lawyer representing those age 40 to 50. And he said the statute, he argued today, the statute is clear, it doesn't say older workers, it says no discrimination because of a person's age. And it doesn't say because a person is not quite the right age.
So they said the statute is clear on its face. But the lawyer for General Dynamics very forcefully argued today that the court has to look at what Congress had in mind when it passed this statute back in 1967.
Congress, he said, was trying to combat stereotypes that older workers were less productive and less competent, and that they passed this law to protect them from discrimination that would be targeted then because of these illegal stereotypes based on their age. So he argued that the court had to look at what the law was all about, and not get caught up in this statutory language that the other side was very clear.
RAY SUAREZ: So the General Dynamics lawyers were in effect arguing intent, that Congress passed this law to protect older workers, not younger ones?
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: That's exactly right, and they said to look at this case any other way would simply turn the age bias statute on its head and it would prohibit companies from doing any kind of accommodation for older workers at the expense of those workers in the aged 40 to 50 group, for example, and several justices, by the way, were very concerned and seemed very, very skeptical of the other side's arguments after they heard some of these complaints.
For example, he said that this could prohibit companies from letting older workers have flexible working hours or working part-time, and a whole range of things that were designed to help older workers that Congress surely wanted employers to do — that employers no longer would be able to do that if the lower court opinion stood in this case.
RAY SUAREZ: But isn't the question then whether, when you use that phrase, older workers, because of what the ADEA says, you mean people over 40, not just over 50 or over 60.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: Well, that's right and that's what again the lawyer for the younger older workers who were seeking these retiree health benefits said in this case, that the statute was clear.
The Bush administration has joined with those workers and a lawyer for the Justice Department also argued today that the statute is crystal clear, that it makes no distinction, it says this law covers workers who are 40 years old and older, and it doesn't say that you can exclude if you're an employer workers who are under 50. So the Justice Department lawyer today made the same point, that the lawyer for the aggrieved workers did, that they should also be included in these type of benefits packages, and that companies couldn't just keep them out.
Now, the Justices indicated through their questions that they did not think that this law was so clear, and they were very concerned by General Dynamics lawyers' points that a ruling against General Dynamics could have a terrible effect on older workers. Justice Breyer, for example, said that such a ruling would just blow up the statute. And he couldn't imagine that Congress had intended that result. Justice Scalia said that so we have here a piece of legislation designed to aid older workers, actually harming them. That's a very strange consequence, he said.
Justice Ginsburg was very worried also about whether or not this would take off the table any efforts that an employer may have to cut a break to an older worker, to say give him a more flexible schedule. And Justice O'Connor even said let's look beyond these kind of working conditions, let's look at some other federal laws that may come into play if this lower court ruling stands. What about other employee benefits lost, what about tax laws that allow older workers to take withdrawals out of retirement accounts without any penalties? Those laws, she suggested, also could be called into question if the court in this case ruled against General Dynamics and said that it had to include all of the workers over 40.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, depending on how this judgment comes down, could this force Congress to go down and revisit the Age Discrimination and Employment Act, and have to rewrite certain portions?
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: Well, Certainly if congress believes that the older workers, say the ones who are over 50 or over 55 are the ones who really need to get, be able to get more benefits and more accommodation, certainly a ruling against the company in this case could suggest that Congress may want to take another look at that law. But the Justice Department and the lawyer for the aggrieved workers in this case say that wasn't Congress's intent.
Congress was worried about protecting all workers who may be discriminated against oh who are over 40 because of their age, and the lawyer for the Justice Department said that some of those accommodations for older workers are grounded on illegal stereotypes. Maybe it's not such a good thing if an employer thinks that an older worker needs some kind of accommodation because they're not as quick or not as productive. So he suggested that some of these plans that may be cutting older workers a break actually are grounded in these bad stereotypes that Congress was trying to prohibit.
RAY SUAREZ: Jan Crawford Greenburg, thanks for being with us.
JAN CRAWFORD GREENBURG: You're welcome.

City faces renovation question on former Executive Inn
Kish: Former Executive Inn ripe for demolition
City officials' arrangements to take ownership of remnants of the former Executive Inn leave them with an important choice.
Should they still ask developers to consider renovating what's left of the building? Or should they ask developers only to look at a new hotel?
If John Kish, manager of the Downtown arena project, has his way, officials will knock down the building. Kish noted the unsucessful attempt of Browning Investments to reopen the former Executive Inn as a three-star hotel, and he said other developers likely would encounter the same difficulties.
Engineering studies conducted by Browning, Kish said, showed the cost of bringing the existing structure up to acceptable standards would exceed that of new construction.
Kish said he fears the loans that developers now can get for a renovation will result only in a hotel resembling the old Executive Inn, a property that had fallen into disrepair in recent decades under multiple owners. No matter the name of a renovated hotel, the public always would associate it with Executive Inn's former dinginess, he said.
In addition, he said, investors would hesitate to take on a renovation once they learned of the building's inadequacies. The heating and cooling systems, for instance, are outdated and due for a replacement, while guest rooms are too narrow to contain two queen-size beds.
"The Executive Inn model has failed," Kish said.
Members of the Evansville Redevelopment Commission didn't go so far Tuesday as to recommend a demolition of the remaining part of the Executive Inn. Instead, they voted to halt repairs called for by a contract between Browning Investments, which is based in Indianpolis, and the city.
Kish estimated the cost of patching the hole left in the side of the structure by the demolition and of rebuilding of the kitchen could be as much as $800,000. Kish said that money would be wasted if no developer showed an interest in renovating the remaining part.
Commission members also decided to send out requests to developers, asking them to submit proposals showing how they would go about building a hotel near the Downtown arena. Kish said he will leave it to the commission members to decide if they still should pursue a renovation of the remaining Executive Inn structure or set their sights on a new hotel.
Browning Investments plans to continue working on the project, said Dennis Dye, an executive vice president.
"We fully intend to compete if the city should pursue (a request for proposal) process," he said.
According to the contract with the city, Browning was to patch the hole left in the side of the former Executive Inn after half of the building was knocked down to make room for the Downtown arena. The company also was to rebuild the hotel's kitchen, which also was lost to the wrecking ball.
In return for that work and the demolition itself, the city had compensated Browning Investments with $11.9 million. That amount also had covered Browning's purchase of the building and the parking garage across Walnut Street in November for $9.4 million.
The same contract had given the city an option to take over the ownership of both properties by paying Browning $300,000, a precaution in case the company was unable to follow through with the renovation. Dye said Browning would transfer the former Executive Inn and the parking garage without demanding that payment.
The company instead plans to pay the city $129,183. Browning's contract allowed the $300,000 option amount to be adjusted upward to cover money Browning spent on property taxes, hotel designs, structural expenses or similar costs. The amount could also go down in accordance with any income Browning made after reopening the former Executive Inn as a three-star hotel.
Dye said Browning's decision to refund $129,183 to the city should "balance the books" between the two parties. He said the city also will get copies of designs and studies Browning undertook for the project.
Dye agreed that the best path forward is to knock down the rest of the former Executive Inn.
Kish estimated the cost of demolishing the rest of the hotel and the parking garage at $1 million to $1.2 million. He said he thought a new hotel still could be opened within a year, but believed a timeline of 14 to 16 months to be more practicable.
He said city officials are well aware of the difficulties that any developer will encounter in trying to finance a hotel project in the current economy. Even so, he doesn't think Evansville should go so far as to guarantee the entire amount of a loan needed to undertake the project.
Kish said the city likely will provide the land needed for a new hotel and may consider some form of assistance beyond that. But before committing to anything, he and others are waiting to see which developer submits a proposal that is most beneficial to the city's interests.
In recommending that the rest of the former Executive Inn be demolished, Dye recalled the lengthy process Browning had gone through before concluding that building a new hotel was a better option than a renovation.
Soon after acquiring the Executive Inn, Browning looked at reopening the building as a Hilton Doubletree. The plan would have given local officials a brand name while also giving Browning access to the system Hilton uses to book rooms — assets that would have helped market the hotel.
But enthusiasm for a renovation did not last after engineers had an opportunity to look at the remaining part of the former Executive Inn. Studies showed that the building's structure could not bear the weight of the double-pane windows required by Hilton's standards unless additional concrete was poured to strengthen interior supports.
That shoring-up work, in turn, would have diminished the amount of open space inside the building, raising the possibility that the project would look bad and be unattractive to investors.
Soon the $4 million Browning had expected to save through a renovation became an estimated additional cost of $7 million to$8 million. Dye also said Browning would have spent $2 million to shore up the parking garage and $1 million to repair its facade.
So the company turned to the possibility of building a 220-room hotel on the parking garage site.
That project, Dye estimated, would cost from $24 million to $27 million, amounts he believed Browning could manage if it secured the right financing package. Dye said the company talked to about 20 banks, including local, regional and national institutions. None proved willing to give Browning the kind of loan it needed.
Kish said he isn't certain when the transfer of the former Executive Inn and parking garage will occur. He said lawyers are working on the transaction.
Despite Browning Investment's failure to open a three-star hotel in the former Executive Inn, Kish said the city's purchase of the property for $11.9 million wasn't for nought. It gave the city part of the site needed for the arena, as well as land where a convention hotel for The Centre can be built.
Under a previous proposal, local officials had looked at buying the nearby D-Patrick Ford dealership and putting the arena there. Kish said doing so would have cost about as much as the current plan and still left city officials wondering what to do with the Executive Inn.

Crank radios don't rely on store-bought batteries to operate. Instead, you spin a hand crank and this generates electricity that charges an internal battery. The advantage of a crank radio is simple – you don't need to rely on the power grid or store-bought batteries to access important information broadcast over the airwaves. An emergency radio is a critical part of any emergency preparedness kit, because it is your lifeline to what's happening around you when the power fails.
The best crank radios are also tools of survival, with features that help you when you're lost or stranded, making them great additions to camping gear. They can have sirens, compasses, flashlights, thermometers and more. The Eton Scorpion, Ambient Weather Adventurer and Eton FRX3 are great examples of dependable weather radios that warn you of the oncoming storm and help you in an emergency. And when the sun's out and everything is great, these crank radios are great for simply listening to your favorite radio station wherever you are. For more information, check out our articles on crank radios.
In the most basic form, a crank radio is a simple handheld device powered by a hand crank that receives AM and FM radio stations. However, the best crank radios are more than an AM and FM radio. They're preset with NOAA weather alert stations to warn you of potential severe weather like tornados, hurricanes and flash floods. They need to be durable devices capable of handling whatever the weather throws at you. In addition, they need to be dependable, with multiple power options in case one method fails. Below are the criteria we considered when reviewing the best weather radios.
The most important feature we considered was the battery life while you're listening to the radio at the lowest volume. Next, we considered the hand crank's efficiency. We measured this by considering the minimum amount of time you have to turn the hand crank to create a charge and how much battery life this charge provided. Then we looked at features that would help in an emergency – NOAA weather alerts, flashlight, compass, mobile device charger and more.
Emergency radios need to be able to survive the situations they're used to help you survive. The casing should be capable of withstanding bumps, drops and jostles. The best weather radios are splashproof and water resistant. Your radio needs to be able to handle the weather, especially while you're camping. The hand crank should also tuck out of the way so that it doesn't snag on things or get in the way when not in use.
Power Options
Every crank radio has a hand crank for generating power, but it's important to have a contingency plan for the power. Most crank radios are also solar radios that recharge in direct sunlight. An AC adapter and a USB port with a computer are quick ways to recharge your crank radio, allowing you to skip the sweat of hand cranking. However, these methods aren't available in a power outage, so they're best used before an emergency as preparation. As a last resort, you should also be able to use normal AAA or AA batteries.
Help & Support
When working with any electronic device, we like to look into the help and support the manufacturer offers. That way, even after you make your purchase, you can stay informed and receive the support you need if something goes amiss. The services we looked into include email and phone contacts, FAQs pages and user forums.
Whether you're looking for a way to stay connected during a tornado warning or you simply want some tunes at the beach, a crank radio is a great device to have. Adding one to your survival kit or your camping gear helps ensure you never get caught unprepared.

New data from Lonres, the property research body, found that 64pc of those homes already reduced in asking price, dropped again as the vendor was on the verge of completion. Apart from the end of 2014, such high levels of gazundering in the luxury quarter of the capital had not been seen since 2012 when the country was hauling itself out of recession.

Remember Greene & Co.? They're the London agents (seven offices, currently) still best remembered for being featured in an early (and compelling) TV reality doc way back in 2004. The news, according to Property Industry Eye, is that they've been bought, in an "eye-popping" deal, by the Countrywide group. More here.
He's been there (a constitutional maximum "term" of) nine years, and he'll be stepping down on November 30. But he's not going quietly. Talking to Property Industry Eye, Christopher Hamer rubbishes manifesto promises to ban lettings fees charged to tenants and introduce rent controls, and criticises a "scattergun" approach to legislation.

Oh Darrryl, sweetcakes. Do you already miss me? As I see you still can't live without me. Sorry for the late joining but I needed to wait for some guys to leave, to take care of their home for the next three weeks. Fingers crossed their internet connection seems to be working :o). Stupid thing is someone emptied their beer stock and I need to buy some 6 packs for the party I'm giving in their home. You know that film project X? That is only the prequel :o).
These cheap pricks only left a cat, what the hell am I supposed to do with that?!
Well enough about me. Do you still brag about that "jet mechanic for dummies' program you took a couple of years back? You know that you couldn't even fix santa's magic sleigh with that knowledge.
As said before you should leave that "public relation" part to your wifey, as well as the logistic part since it involves:"the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies", and "the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation"... Well over your league buddy... Keep following your sat-nav and try to stay on your bike. Oh and that black color scheme? Who are you kidding? You can't pull of the Ba(d/t)man look .
Ride safe you too... oh and isn't SHE scared riding with you??
And don't start giving me crap about that color, someone already took my "green" for this RR (I'll hunt you down!). So I'm trying to add a feminin side to this man chauvinistic RR... You're welcome WORLD!

George Bush could be next on the war crimes list
March 6, 2009
New Zealand Herald
THE HAGUE — George W. Bush could one day be the International Criminal
Court's next target.
David Crane, an international law professor at Syracuse University, said the
principle of law used to issue an arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir could extend
to former US President Bush over claims officials from his Administration may
have engaged in torture by using coercive interrogation techniques on terror
Crane is a former prosecutor of the Sierra Leone tribunal that indicted Liberian
President Charles Taylor and put him on trial in The Hague.
Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Programme at Human Rights
Watch, said the al-Bashir ruling was likely to fuel discussion about investigations
of possible crimes by Bush Administration officials.
Congressional Democrats and other critics have charged that some of the harsh
interrogation techniques amounted to torture, a contention that Bush and other
officials rejected.
The prospect of the court ever trying Bush is considered extremely remote,
The US Government does not recognise the court and the only other way Bush
could be investigated is if the Security Council were to order it, something
unlikely to happen with Washington a veto-wielding permanent member.

Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth (pl911truth.com) is today being launched as
the latest formal group calling for a new investigation into the events of September
11, 2001. The organization is headed by Councilor (Senator) Yukihisa Fujita
of Japan and former Senator Karen Johnson of Arizona.
This initiative is formed around a petition asking President Obama "to
authorize a new, truly independent, investigation to determine what happened
on 9/11."
Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth thus joins other concerned citizens' groups calling for a new investigation, including Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, and Veterans for 9/11 Truth.
Independent researchers from these professions have established beyond any reasonable doubt that the official account of 9/11 is false and that the official investigations have been cover-up operations.
Senator Yukihisa Fujita explains the new initiative: "Thus far there has been no response from political leaders in Washington or in other capitals around the world. Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth has been formed to encourage such a response."
The organization is being launched with 20 charter members, including a former US governor, a former US senator, former US representatives, and former and present members of the British, German, Japanese, Norwegian, and European parliaments.
Charter member Robert Bowman, former head of the "Star… Continue reading

Author, What Every American Should Know about the Middle East (Plume/Penguin,
Jan. 2009)
February 10, 2009
Patrick Leahy has a point when he urges President Obama to open investigations about the Bush administration. However, he's not pointing at the issue that we need to start with. Namely, September 11th. What really happened? More than a few people know – and I am not alone in calling for those who know to start talking and fess up. Let's not let this go the way of the JFK assassination – and whether with subpoenas or on their own volition, I demand that Dick Cheney, George W. Bush – both of whom refused to testify under oath during the 9/11 Commission proceedings — Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Armitage, Larry Wilkerson, George Tenet, Robert Mueller and the rest – as well as Bill Clinton and Al Gore (both of whom also refused to testify under oath) — start talking, and in a public arena. And I'm calling on the Obama administration to open up a probe and unravel the web of deceit.
Before we tuck the Bush administration into bed and hiss, "Nighty Night, you lying scoundrels," before we go on to lock the door on that heinous era of American history, we do indeed need to probe what happened under their watch. But the event that most concerns me is what happened on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Oh yeah, that's history, old news, the 9/11 Commission figured it all out, right?…Continue reading
Introductory text at Religious Leaders for 911 Truth:
The religions of the world share universal values of love, truth, and justice,
and believe in helping those who are oppressed or otherwise in need. Many religious
persons try to engage in activities to make the world a better place, and they
trust in a Higher Power to assist them.
When faced with actions that conflict with the universal moral principle that
we should not do to others what we would not want done to ourselves or our loved
ones, members of faith communities have a responsibility to voice their opposition
to those actions. Many religious leaders throughout history have publicly challenged
morally unacceptable practices—recently, for example, in the civil rights
and anti-apartheid movements.
A significant moral challenge has emerged due to glaring discrepancies between
the official version of the events of September 11, 2001, and the results of
extensive independent research by individuals with relevant scientific or professional
"Independent" here means independent from the U.S. administration
that was in power at the time of the 9/11 attacks. The official reports about
9/11 were not independent in this sense. The 9/11 Commission was run by its
executive director, Philip Zelikow, who was closely associated with the Bush
administration. The official reports on the World Trade Center were produced
by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which, as an agency of
the U.S. Commerce Department, was run by people employed by the Bush administration.
The independent research, which has led… Continue reading

When the New York Times explored the political beliefs of Daniel Sunjata, an actor on the FX network's show "Rescue Me," it was under the banner of a "sinister theory."
The "sinister theory" that a group of neoconservative politicians may have colluded to allow, or bring about, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
On Thursday's Fox and Friends, Greg Gutfield, provocative host of Fox's late night program Red Eye, called individuals like Sunjata, who question the events of 9/11, "mentally ill."
"[Sunjata] believe that 9/11 was a preemptive strike by a neoconservative government," said Gutfield. "I think that means Bush. What angers me about this is people are treating it with respect."
The 9/11 issues are major plot lines in the first 10 episodes of Rescue Me season 5, set to air in April.
"The New York Times ran a piece about it," said Gutfield. "They interviewed the producer — the producer described the actor, the actor believes this stuff, that the actor is well-read, very passionate about it.
"They say this sort of thing about conspiratorialists all the time, but they never say these people are idiots, they're mentally ill, they shouldn't be treated with respect.
"It's an insult to people that were victims of 9/11 and their families. It's an insult to firefighters. I am surprised they are doing this."
Of course, Gutfield, as a professional media water and commentator, shouldn't be surprised at all.… Continue reading

December 8, 2008 – Pearl Harbor Day
Sixty-seven years ago, on Sunday, December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, killing over two thousand people and wounding over a thousand. The attack enabled FDR to enter World War II, and prompted huge numbers of Americans to volunteer for military service. In the book
Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor (2000), Robert Stinnett unveiled a memo outlining an 8 point plan to provoke Japan into attacking the US.
Admiral Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet, was removed from office and demoted, taking the blame for the losses at Pearl Harbor soon after the attacks. Researchers over the course of many years believe that critical information was withheld from Kimmel and that he was unjustly punished. One of those researchers was his grandson, Manning Kimmel IV, who persuaded the U.S. Senate in 1999 to pass a nonbinding resolution exonerating Admiral Kimmel and Army Lieutenant General Short.
In addition to shifting public opinion and gaining popular support for the US entry into World War II, Pearl Harbor was the justification for the passage of the National Security Act of 1947; the creation of the National Security Council, the CIA, and the Department of the Air Force; and the reorganization of the Department of War and the Department of the Navy into the Defense Department. Manning Kimmel IV, who worked for the FBI and the CIA, noted that emblazoned on the CIA's walls is the reminder that the CIA was created "To Prevent Another Pearl Harbor."
Philip Zelikow, author of the US "Pre-Emptive War Doctrine," has studied and written about the use, and misuse, of history in policymaking, including "beliefs thought to be true (although not necessarily known to be true with certainty)"…"Searing events that take on 'transcendent' importance and, therefore, retain their power even as the experiencing generation passes from the scene." In 1998 he co-authored the article Catastrophic Terrorism: Elements of a National Policy, which speculated that if the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded,

9/28/2008: Pentagon on 9/11, Shoe Bombing, Bin Laden in the Soviet-Afghan War and More – Additions as of September 28, 2008
This week, a massive amount of new entries have been added to the timeline, dealing with a whole range of different issues. We will start with the day of 9/11, in particular the Pentagon, which a fire chief warned could be a target nearly 20 minutes before it was hit. The attack itself created confusion by setting off 300 fire alarms, although some medical workers thought the ensuing evacuation was a drill. After wandering about outside the building, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld refused to follow the established emergency plan and evacuate, instead sending deputy Paul Wolfowitz to an alternate military command center, where the computers and communication systems did not work.
The first fighter was seen arriving over the Pentagon at around 10:40 a.m., the FAA sent the White House incorrect details of the hijacked planes in the early afternoon, and astronauts viewed the devastation in New York from space. Meanwhile, the FBI established a command post near the Pentagon and limited the evidence that needed to be photographed there.

In THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED , David Ray Griffin provides a brilliant and much-needed companion to his path-breaking and movement-building book on 9/11, The New Pearl Harbor (NPH; 2004). Now, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of those horrific events, Griffin surveys in detail all the main lines of evidence against the official account of 9/11 to have emerged during the last four years. THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED (NPHR) has been designed as volume 2 of a two-volume set with NPH as volume 1; together they provide a thorough and up-to-date case against the official conspiracy theory (they can be bought separately, of course).
Griffin has already published four other books that provide in-depth analysis of most of the evidence to have emerged since 2004. NPHR's main purpose is to provide an easily accessible survey of all of the new evidence, so that it is now possible for a beginner to the subject (including journalists and members of Congress) to master its enormous complexity simply by reading two books. NPHR is structured identically to NPH; each chapter in NPHR comments and builds on the corresponding chapter in NPH. Much of the content is entirely new; there are many facts and analyses in NPHR which Griffin presents for the first time, and which literally make the book an up-to-the-minute statement of the case.
In the Preface, Griffin explains why he undertook to "update" The New Pearl Harbor . In the Introduction he… Continue reading

Recently, Mike Berger from 911Truth.org was interviewed by the "Conscience of Kansas" Conservative Paul Ibbetson. During the interview, Mike mentioned the alleged bribery of the 9/11 Commission by Pakistan to omit any incriminating information about them. I figured a lot of people weren't familiar with this story, so I was inspired to write this "recap."
Over the years, there have been many allegations of Pakistani involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Apparently, Lt. General Mahmood Ahmed, the head of the Pakistani ISI, someone who met with U.S. elected and appointed officials in the weeks before 9/11, on the day of 9/11, and in the days after 9/11, ordered possible MI6 Agent Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh to wire transfer $100,000 to Mohammad Atta. The 9/11 Families' submitted a question to the 9/11 Commission about this incident.
Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division, John S. Pistole stated that their investigation "has traced the origin of the funding of 9/11 back to financial accounts in Pakistan, where high-ranking and well-known al-Qaeda operatives played a major role in moving the money forward, eventually into the hands of the hijackers located in the US."
In January 2002, during a visit to India, FBI Director Robert Mueller was told about Saeed Sheikh's involvement in the 9/11 attacks by Indian Investigators.
Apparently, "on the eve of the publication of its report, the 9/11 Commission was given a stunning document from Pakistan, claiming that Pakistani intelligence officers knew in advance… Continue reading
FISCAL COMMENTARY: Follow the Money? God forbid.
Why was the cashing out of billions of dollars just before the 9/11 attacks never investigated? by Jim Hogue
From the Baltimore Chronicle's Fiscal Commentary pages…
Had an investigation been done into the crime of failing to file the "currency transaction reports" in August 2001, then we would know who made the cash withdrawals in $100 bills amounting to the $5 billion surge. It's been over six years since 9/11, but U.S. regulatory entities have been slow to follow through with reports about the complex financial transactions that occurred just prior to and following the attacks. Such research could shed light on such questions as who was behind them—and who benefited—and could help lay to rest the rumors that have been festering.
Warning bells about anomalies in the fiscal sector were sounded in the summer of 2001, but not heeded. Among those who has since raised questions was Bill Bergman. As a financial market analyst for the Federal Reserve, he was assigned in 2003 to review the record of July and August of 2001. He noticed an unusual surge in the currency component of the M1 money supply (cash circulating outside of banks) during that period. The surge totaled over $5 billion above the… Continue reading

Although I was not able to be present at the rally either in person or by telephone,
I wanted to express my strong support for the NYC
9/11 Ballot Initiative.
There has never been a better time to get such an initiative on the ballot, because
the 9/11 Truth Movement's case against the official account of 9/11 is now extremely
strong—much stronger than it was just two years ago.
For example, new evidence has been brought forth to show that the official account
of the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC 7 cannot possibly be true. The NIST
Report has been shown to be completely inadequate, and a former employee of NIST
has spoken out to verify what we already suspected—that NIST has become totally
politicized, so that its scientists are little more than "hired guns."
Besides the fact that the NIST Report has been discredited, so has The 9/11
Commission Report. Philip Shenon's book has made public what we in the movement
have long known, that the 9/11 Commission was controlled by a man, Philip Zelikow,
who represented the Bush-Cheney White House. Shenon even shows that Zelikow had
outlined the whole report before the Commission's staff had begun its work.
Moreover, some central pillars of the official account have been demolished by
the FBI. It has said it has no hard evidence that Osama bin Laden was responsible
for the attacks, that there were no cell phone calls from passengers… Continue reading

Key to the Truth in Oklahoma 4.19.95 and 9.11.01
by Holland Van den Nieuwenhof
I Oklahoma seems to attract more attention in the news than seems due to your typical Great Plains State such as Kansas or Nebraska or North Dakota. I once asked a visitor from North Dakota if anything had ever happened in his state since being reasonably informed on current events and history, I was unaware of that state ever making it into a national headline.
Perhaps it is due to our curious mix of the offspring of renegade Indians, blacks and whites alike. Once known as Indian Territory, Oklahoma was the last state admitted into the continental United States and was once the home of various outlaws and escaped slaves seeking freedom in one of the last places in the land that was without established law or authority. That heritage carried over at least a couple of generations. During WWI a large group of farmers tried to organize an armed march onto Washington D.C. to stop the Nation's entry into the war. Known as the Green Corn Rebellion, it was finally put down by the local authorities with the help of vigilante posses. During the desperate days of the… Continue reading
by David Ray Griffin
"The Commission" by Philip Shenon has performed a great public service, letting the world know that there are good reasons to be suspicious of "The 9/11 Commission Report." The main problem is the fact that the Commission was almost entirely under the control of Philip Zelikow, who was closely connected to the Bush White House. Although my book "Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11″ revealed some of the facts about Zelikow that showed him to be one of the worst possible choices for the Commission's executive director, Shenon has revealed even more facts.
It was already known that Zelikow had been on the National Security Council (NSC) with Condoleezza Rice during the administration of the first President Bush; that he wrote a book with her while the Republicans were out of power; that he helped her make the transition from the Clinton to the Bush NSC; and that he wrote at her request the 2002 version of "National Security Strategy of the United States of America" (NSS 2002), which enunciated a new doctrine of preemptive war that was used, in Shenon's words, to "justify a preemptive strike on Iraq."
But now Shenon reveals more: that in applying to Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, the co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission, for the position of executive director, Zelikow failed to reveal some of his conflicts of interest, especially his authorship of NSS 2002 and his role on the transition team; that he continued, contrary to his promise,… Continue reading

As someone also motivated by the need for the truth about 9/11, as well as aware of the way conflicts of interest have a way of covering up truth, let me add my thanks to Philip Shenon on the release of his new book. Also let me share this recent comment forwarded to me by Monica Gabrielle of the September 11th Advocates:
Philip Shenon's new book, The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation, serves to justify our suspicions and the concerns of the Family Steering Committee, that we attempted to publicly air during the course of the 9/11 Commission's tenure.
One of the most egregious revelations put forth by Mr. Shenon is the fact that Philip Zelikow was hired as the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, despite his direct ties to the Bush administration. In 2000-2001 he served as a member of Condoleezza Rice's National Security Council (NSC) transition team, where he was allegedly the "architect" of the decision to demote Richard Clarke and his counter terrorism team within the NSC. Furthermore he was a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) from 2001-2003, where Zelikow drafted most of the 2002 "National Security Strategy of the United States," creating the pre-emptive Iraq war strategy. These areas were within the scope of the Commission's mandate and as such were of critical importance to determine what, if any, impact they had on the government's ability to prevent the 9/11 attacks.
As the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow was given the responsibility for choosing the entire direction of the Commission's investigation.…Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE: Former 9/11 Commission Chief Philip Zelikow on Allegations
He Secretly Allowed Karl Rove & White House to Influence 9/11 Probe
Earlier in the week, we spoke to Philip Shenon, author of "The Commission:
The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation." Shenon suggested
that Philip Zelikow–the executive director of the 9/11 Commission–sought
to minimize the Bush administration's responsibility for failing to
prevent the September 11th attacks. Shenon also revealed that Karl Rove repeatedly
called Zelikow during the probe. Today Zelikow responds in his first broadcast
interview since the publication of Shenon's book.

AMC Theater Chain Spending $600M to Add Fully Reclining Seats
Between 50 percent and 70 percent of seats in a given theater will be removed to make room for the larger chairs.
AMC Entertainment Holdings is spending $600 million to remodel its theaters with larger, fully reclining seats.
AMC, which is the nation's second-largest theater chain, plans to install "La-Z-Boy-type seats" that fully recline in its theaters, according to the Wall Street Journal. The new seats will be 60 inches wide vs. the current 44 inches.
LIST THR Reveals Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
As a result, between 50 percent and 70 percent of seats in a given theater will be removed to make room for the larger chairs. AMC estimates that the renovations will cost between $350,000 and $500,000 per theater, with 1,800 of its nearly 5,000 auditoriums targeted for the upgrades, which will be carried out over the next five years.
According to AMC, attendance in the theaters that have already been updated has jumped an average of 80 percent, despite having fewer seats, although the exhibitor declined to give any further breakdown.
PHOTOS Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
AMC CEO Gerry Lopez said the jump is partially due to the full dine-in capabilities offered in some of the renovated theaters.
Meanwhile, tickets for the renovated theaters are expected to cost between $1 and $2 more than the traditional theaters after a one-year grace period.
Domestic movie attendance has stayed relatively flat over the past decade. The number of tickets sold in the U.S. declined by 1.5 percent from 2012 to 2013, according to MPAA data.

RATINGS: 610 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.71 SEASONAL: Summer EST. CALORIES: 240 ABV: 8%
Dany, the offbeat brewer at Fantôme, will try anything, and the results are always interesting. A beer made from dandelions would be worth a try if only because no one has ever brewed one before, but the great news is that this is actually a very good beer.
Dany and some cohorts get busy every spring picking bushels of dandelions that grow in the fields around the picturesque farmhouse brewery. The yellow flowers are removed and dried in the sun, then soaked in water for a few days. The thick, dark dandelion tea that results is the basis for the Pissenlit, which is made also from traditional barley malt and hops. It resembles a classic saison beer golden spritzy brew, strong and very flavorful, with a good hop bite. You may have to strain to taste the dandelions, but you know theyre in there.
It should be noted that uncooked, the dandelion has a diuretic effect and is known in France as Pissenlit (literally, "wet the bed" - this also happens to be the British folk-name) for precisely this reason.

ACLU seeks child custody for surviving lesbian parent
BY admin
December 07 2004 1:00 AM ET
The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday filed a friend-of-the-court brief urging the West Virginia supreme court not to separate a 4-year-old boy from his surviving lesbian parent following the unexpected death of his biological mother. "This is a heartbreaking example of what can happen when lesbian and gay families are not respected," said Andrew Schneider, executive director of the ACLU of West Virginia. "This child has already lost one of his mothers. It would be tragic if our courts broke up his family and took him from his only surviving parent."
After falling in love and committing to each other, Tina Burch and Christina Smarr decided to have a child together. The couple agreed that Smarr would carry their child. On December 25, 1999, Smarr gave birth to Zachary. The couple raised Zachary together until Smarr was killed in an automobile accident on June 1, 2002.
Following Smarr's death, her parents, Paul and Janet Smarr, sought to take custody of Zachary. The trial court sided with Burch and awarded her primary custody while giving visitation rights to the grandparents. The court found Burch to be Zachary's "psychological parent"--one who, while not related to a child biologically or through adoption, has functioned as a parent in every way. West Virginia appeals courts have recognized psychological parents in the past, but never in a case involving a gay couple.
Refusing to apply the psychological parenthood doctrine in the context of a gay couple, the circuit court reversed the trial judge's ruling, giving custody instead to the grandparents. The case is now before the West Virginia supreme court on appeal. Burch has been allowed to maintain custody of Zachary pending a decision by the high court. "The circuit court ignored one of the most basic tenets of family law--safeguarding children's relationships with their parents," said Leslie Cooper, a staff attorney for the ACLU's Lesbian and Gay Rights Project. "Zachary has already lost one parent. There is no reason a court should subject him to another grievous loss simply because of the sexual orientation of his parents."
The brief filed by the ACLU argues that the relationship that Burch formed with Zachary is constitutionally protected and that the circuit court violated Burch and Zachary's constitutional rights by denying her custody of him. Oral arguments before the West Virginia supreme court are expected to take place in early spring.

The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Re: The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!
I think Hasbro could and can if they wanted, but they'd end up coming up with some pretty weak excuses to charge $18.99 or $19.99 for a basic 3.75" action figure and price their entire company right out of the market. I don't underestimate Hasbro -they're capable of amazing toys when they set their minds to it - but I think they're too big a collection of corner-cutting pennypinchers to give us Toybiz quality and not charge twenty bucks for each character.

Hey all, DM here again. I went to DCA yesterday, as a regular parkgoer would , and when I went to TSMM in Paradise Pier, things were slightly changed, but noticably different.
1. The targets above the characters in the pie toss game have been changed from Sunnyside characters to Zurg, Stinky Pete, and Lotso on all screens.
2. The original prize booth with Bo and the English-speaking Buzz is back.
So again, small, but noticable for frequent guests. The "Dino Darts" game remains, as well as Buttercup in "Hamm and Eggs."
Post comments and thoughts below!

NFL Picks: Week 14
Week 14: NFL Picks
There's an old adage in the NFL, if you can stop the run and run the ball then you will win a lot of football games. I do agree that stopping the run is still paramount for a successful defense but the ability to run the ball is severely overrated. Can teams still win with a good running game, of course they can but they better be able to throw the ball as well. The NFL is a passing league and if a team cannot make big plays in the passing game, then they are going to have a difficult time winning big.
The defending World Champion, New York Giants were the worst rushing team in the league last season. The New England Patriots, this season notwithstanding, have won more games than any other team over the past decade and they have gone weeks without running the ball effectively.
The best example of this is the Denver Broncos. In 2011, they were the best running team in the league by a wide margin but where did it get them? Sure they won their division at 8-8 but they could not compete with the better teams. Their inability to make explosive plays in the passing game was always going to limit how far they could go. Fast-forward to the 2012 Broncos with Peyton Manning, they rank towards the bottom of the league in rushing but are 9-3. What's the difference? It's simple, Manning can throw the ball downfield and in 2012 that's what wins football game.
There's always a time to run the ball, it's important that teams mix it up but the days of ground and pound are over. If a team is going to win big in this day and age, it has to be through the air.
Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders
The Denver Broncos have wrapped up the AFC West and are now playing for seeding in the playoffs. The Oakland Raiders are playing for next season and individual players are playing for jobs. It's a rivalry with great history but these two teams are worlds apart in 2012. Yes the Broncos are on the road on a Thursday night which hasn't been a good thing this season, but it won't matter. The Broncos win their eighth in a row with ease.
St. Louis Rams at Buffalo Bills
The St. Louis Rams are playing their best football of the season and head to New York to take on the Buffalo Bills. The Bills are coming off of one their best performances of the season, so this actually has a chance to be a decent football game. The Rams are a more complete team and do not make the mistakes that the Bills do, so I'll take the Rams.
Dallas Cowboys at Cincinnati Bengals
For one week, the Dallas Cowboys are back in the playoff race but it will only last a week. The Cincinnati Bengals are playing very good football and they need this one to stay in the race. Next week at this time, everyone will be criticizing the Cowboys again. The Bengals stay alive with a home win.
Kansas City Chiefs at Cleveland Browns
The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with far more important things than football, but they will take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The Browns have won two in a row and the Chiefs are going to be mentally drained, rightfully so. Because of those two factors, the Browns win their third in a row.
Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts
The best story of the season continues to be the Indianapolis Colts who pulled out another miracle win last week. It would be a surprise if they did not make the playoffs, and the Tennessee Titans will be no match for the train known as the Colts.
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings
If the Chicago Bears miss the playoffs, they will be kicking themselves for the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. They cannot afford another loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but that what's going to happen. The Vikings deal the Bears a major blow in their push for the playoffs.
Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
One team is playing to keep their playoff hopes alive and another is playing to get the season over with. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need this one and the Philadelphia Eagles have not won a game since baseball season, they won't win one on Sunday either. The Bucs get a much needed victory.
Baltimore Ravens at Washington Redskins
The battle of the beltway takes place as the Washington Redskins host the Baltimore Ravens. All of the sudden the Skins are hot and the Ravens look very beatable. I'm biting; give me the Skins in a close one.
Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers
It's time to start believing in the Atlanta Falcons, not that I didn't before but they have been very impressive over the past couple of weeks. They are playing to lock up home-field advantage and the Carolina Panthers are playing for 2013. It might be closer than people think but the Falcons move to 12-1.
New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars
Are they really going to make people watch this game? If the NFL really wants to make it interesting, just tell the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars that first score wins. Even in that case, the game could go into overtime. Give me the Jets, I have no idea why.
San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers
The freefall of the San Diego Chargers will continue when they travel to the Keystone state to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers need the game and are likely to get Ben Rothlisberger back. The Chargers invent new ways to lose every week, how will they lose this week?
Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers
The Miami Dolphins travel cross country to take on the San Francisco 49ers and the Niners will be in an angry mood. The Dolphins have played better at times this season but this will be too much. It would be a shock if the Dolphins scored 10 points. The 49ers win in a walk.
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
They found a way to win on the road and now the Seattle Seahawks have a great shot at the playoffs. They host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and if the New England Patriots can't win in Seattle, there's no way the Cardinals can. The Seahawks keep rolling.
New Orleans Saints at New York Giants
The New Orleans Saints will be playing their first game with the knowledge that they can't make the playoffs, how will they react? The New York Giants need to keep winning and they will. It could be back and forth for awhile, but the Giants pull away late.
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
The Detroit Lions travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers and while it's a dangerous game for the Pack, they get the win. The Lions are just dangerous enough stay in games but just dumb enough to lose them. That's what happens here, Packers by 10.
Houston Texans at New England Patriots
In what looks like the game of the year, the New England Patriots host the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. The Texans have had the best record in the AFC all season but the Patriots are playing the best football right now. In a terrific football game, Tom Brady leads the Patriots to a late field goal for the win.
The last quarter of the season is underway and teams are playing for playoff spots, and positioning. Every possession, every touchdown and every turnover is that much more important. December football, you have to love it!

So when I set up the lunch meeting with our pastor and he told me that it was good we were getting married, or I would need to move out, I was shocked. I didn't realize that it was important to God and for our faith for us to make a change, right now—not just in the future. And this change was going to make our lives and our future marriage better.
I moved out of the bedroom and took up residence in our spare bedroom.
Honestly, the first couple weeks were tough. I didn't see her in anything less than sweats and a t-shirt. But in those three months we grew together in ways that were much more than physical. We became partners—living a new journey that included this new thing that brought us together. We Waited For Marriage
