Geographic Range
Currently Sarcophilus harrisii is found only in Tasmania, although fossil evidence suggests that it once occupied much of the Australian mainland. It has been suggested that its absence in many previously occupied areas can be explained by competition with the introduced dingo in Australia. (Nowak, 1991)

Tasmanian devils are numerous throughout Tasmania except in areas where there has been extensive habitat fragmentation and deforestation. They are most numerous in coastal heath and rangeland areas where agricultural practices maintain a constant supply of carrion. They also occur in open, dry schlerophyll forest and mixed schlerophyll rainforest. Their dens typically are located in hollow logs, caves, or burrows.

Physical Description
Tasmanian devils are stocky with a brownish black pelage. They have a white throat patch, white spots on their sides and backside, and a pinkish snout. The head is massive with well developed jaw muscles. Molar teeth are heavy and adapted for their role in crushing bone and tearing through muscle and thick skin. Females are slightly smaller than males. Body size varies considerably with diet, habitat, and age. Large males may reach 12 kg and 30 cm at the shoulder. Total length ranges from 525 to 800 mm and tail length from 230-300 mm. Male weight ranges from 5.5 to 12 kg and female weight from 4.1 to 8.1 kg. Fat storage occurs in the tail, as in many dasyurids. Females have four mammae and, unlike many other dasyurids, the marsupial pouch is completely closed when breeding.

Males compete for access to breeding females. Females are only temporarily subdued by a male for mating, there is no longer term association of males and females. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005)
- Mating System
- polygynandrous (promiscuous)
Tasmanian devils are monestrous. Most mating takes place in March and the young are born in April after a gestation period of 21 days. Litter size is usually 2-3, although 4 mammae are available and 4 young are possible. The young then travel to the pouch where they remain for 4 months. By 5-6 months old the young are completely weaned, becoming independent in December. Females become sexually mature at two years old. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)

Tasmanian devils most often live to a maximum of 5 years old in the wild. Most young die immediately after dispersing out of their natal range as a result of food scarcity or competition. They may live 7 to 8 years. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)

Tasmanian devils are nocturnal and usually solitary. Occasionally, when individuals congregate at food sources, such as carrion, they interact aggressively but they are not territorial. When fighting, Tasmanian devils vocalize with growls, screeches, and vibratos. There also seems to be a learned dominance hierarchy, at least in captive situations.
Both males and females make nests of bark, grass and leaves which they inhabit throughout the day. They may be seen sunbathing during the day in quiet areas. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)
Home Range
Tasmanian devils stay within a relatively small home range, traveling an average of 3.2 km in a night. (Nowak, 1991)
Communication and Perception
Tasmanian devils have keen senses of smell, sight, touch, and taste. They communicate through a wide variety of vocalizations and physical cues, such as yawning and raising their tails. Tasmanian devils are regarded with some awe because of the blood-curdling shrieks and growls they use, particularly when a group is scavenging a carcass. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005)
Food Habits
Tasmanian devils have been considered livestock predators. In reality, these marsupials take most of their large prey, such as wombats, wallabies, sheep, and rabbits, in the form of carrion. Tasmanian devils are efficient scavengers, eating even bones and fur. Tasmanian devils may have depended on carrion left from Tasmanian wolf kills in historical times. Other food items, such as insects, insect larvae, snakes, and small amounts of vegetation, are taken when encountered. Tasmanian devils forage in a slow, lumbering manner, using their sense of smell to find food at night. They are famous for their rowdy communal feeding, which is accompanied by aggression and loud vocalizations. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991; DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)

Adult Tasmanian devils have few natural predators, although Tasmanian wolves may have preyed on them occasionally. Small S. harrisii may fall prey to eagles (Accipitridae), owls (Strigiformes), and spotted tail quolls (Dasyurus maculatus). Tasmanian devils are ferocious when attacked and are impressively armed with heavy jaw musculature and robust teeth, they are able to protect themselves against larger predators. Their nocturnal activity may help them avoid some predators (such as Tasmanian wolves, historically). (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005)
- Known Predators
- eagles (Accipitridae)
- owls (Strigiformes)
- spotted tail quolls (Dasyurus maculatus)
- Tasmanian wolves (Thylacinus cynocephalus)
Ecosystem Roles
Tasmanian devils are important predators in native, Tasmanian ecosystems. After the Tasmanian wolf (Thylacinus cynocephalus), they are the largest native, mammalian predator on Tasmania.
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Tasmanian devils are important as top predators in native, Tasmanian habitats. As scavengers they are important in removing carcasses. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Tasmanian devils were once thought to kill livestock, such as sheep. Although this is unlikely, they have been known to kill poultry. They may be considered "nuisance" animals by some. However, the value of Tasmanian devils as important members of functioning ecosystems and as scavengers probably outweighs any negative effect of these animals on human. (DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)
Conservation Status
At one time, Tasmanian devils were thought to be in danger of extinction due to persecution by settlers and destruction of forest habitat. Populations stabilized, and may have increased with the increased availability of carrion in rangelands. In recent years many populations of Tasmanian devil have been devastated by a new, usually lethal, cancer-like disease that is spreading rapidly throughout Tasmania. There is some evidence that this disease is not new, but is endemic to Tasmanian devils. Historical record and epidemiological modeling suggest that this epidemic may cycle through Tasmanian devil populations at 77-146 year intervals. Although this has no resulted in extinction in the past, the effect of additional, human-associated threats may pose a grave threat to the persistence of Tasmanian devil populations. Tasmanian devils are protected in Tasmania. (Bradshaw and Brook, 2005; DPIWE, Nature Conservation Branch, 2005; Nowak, 1991)

Not Perfect, But My Mom Thinks I'm Awesome
Transplant from Seattle with a stop in Chicago. Moved to LA to progress in my career in digital advertising and to see more sun. After two years (give or take a year depending on when I edit this again) I'm a full fledged Angeleno who eats tacos from trucks, curses at traffic and wears v-neck t's that are one inch too deep. Pretty much I embrace and love LA. But when LA does get the best of me I travel. I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. Some places I've been: Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Turkey and Panama. My last trip was backpacking through Croatia and Italy in October. I need to plan my next trip, any suggestions? So here's what I'm doing with my life... Getting going on my burgeoning career in advertising as a Director of Client Services for a digital media company. Pretty much I'm figuring out what consumer experiences will look like in 2017, but that's boring. So I'm also... an aspiring photographer, world traveler, avid Seahawks fan, half marathon runner, movie critic, beach bum, falling on my longboard constantly, trying new recipes, scouring the internwebs for new music, scouring every LA music venue for awesome live music, thinking about writing a pilot to combat the show Girls. Pretty much just trying to be Ryan Gosling and succeeding (at least in my head) I guess this is a dating site, so here's why I'm on here and what I'm looking for... Jennifer Lawrence. But that's not happening (we can all dream, right?). So really I just want to find someone to accompany me in this crazy thing called life. It's important to share interests and hobbies, but I want to meet someone who can open my eyes to new adventures and experiences, help me grow as a person. Introduce me to new bands, food, languages, views on politics and a candy that's at least on par with Sour Patch Kids (because I have yet to find one, they're so good it kinda ruins all other candy for me). Also, if you can teach me to play the guitar that would be awesome too :) And hopefully along the way you can learn a few things from me as well. Maybe you can tap into my extensive knowledge of "The OC" trivia or I could just teach you how to Dougie.

Last night, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney won the Michigan primary, despite being against the auto bailouts. Rick Santorum's attempt to slam Romney for his opposition to the bailouts (the same bailouts Santorum also opposed) by robo calling democrats and urging them to vote against his opponent, failed. A new National Journal poll is an indication of why opposing auto bailouts not only didn't affect Romney's chances in Michigan, but how his opposition won't hurt him in the future either. Fifty-five percent of Americans still believe auto companies shouldn't have received government money in return for bad business practices.
A majority of Americans think the federal government should not have helped out U.S. automakers that were in financial trouble, but rather should have allowed them to go it alone, according to a new United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll.
Thirty-six percent of Americans think the government should have provided help, but 55 percent think "these companies should have been allowed to succeed or fail on their own," the poll shows. The results echo other surveys, including a May 2010 poll conducted by CBS News in which a third of respondents thought the government should have helped, while 61 percent thought they should not have.
Democrats are, as usual, in favor of the bailouts while Independents are firmly against.
Republicans are more likely to oppose the auto bailout, with 73 percent saying the government should not have helped the automakers, bolstering Romney's position as he seeks the GOP nomination. Democrats are split: A slim 51 percent majority say the government should have helped, and 42 percent say it should not have.
Independents tilt against the bailout, with 55 percent saying the automakers should have been allowed to succeed or fail on their own. Just 35 percent of independents say the government should have helped.
Even the Midwest region as a whole is against:

The FBI has blocked two of its veteran counterterrorism agents from going public with accusations that the CIA deliberately withheld crucial intelligence before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
FBI Special Agents Mark Rossini and Douglas Miller have asked for permission to appear in an upcoming public television documentary, scheduled to air in January, on pre-9/11 rivalries between the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency.
The program is a spin-off from The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, by acclaimed investigative reporter James Bamford, due out in a matter of days.
The FBI denied Rossini and Miller permission to participate in the book or the PBS "NOVA" documentary, which is also being written and produced by Bamford, on grounds that the FBI "doesn't want to stir up old conflicts with the CIA," according to multiple reliable sources.
Bamford, contacted by phone, said he could not comment because his publisher has embargoed his new book for release around Oct. 10.
The author of two other ground-breaking books on the NSA, Bamford also said his general policy is not to discuss his negotiations for interviews with intelligence agencies.
Pre-9/11 intelligence mishaps have been generally attributed to bureaucratic screw-ups — a "failure to connect the dots," exacerbated by spy agency rivalries.
But Rossini and Miller, who were assigned to the CIA-run Counterterrorist Center during the run-up to the 9/11 attacks, are prepared to describe… Continue reading
U.S. Officers' "Phone Sex" Intercepted; Senate Demanding Answers By Brian Ross, Vic Walter and Anna Schecter
Despite pledges by President George W. Bush and American intelligence officials to the contrary, hundreds of US citizens overseas have been eavesdropped on as they called friends and family back home, according to two former military intercept operators who worked at the giant National Security Agency (NSA) center in Fort Gordon, Georgia.
The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), called the allegations "extremely disturbing" and said the committee has begun its own examination.
"We have requested all relevant information from the Bush Administration," Rockefeller said Thursday. "The Committee will take whatever action is necessary."
"These were just really everyday, average, ordinary Americans who happened to be in the Middle East, in our area of intercept and happened to be making these phone calls on satellite phones," said Adrienne Kinne, a 31-year old US Army Reserves Arab linguist assigned to a special military program at the NSA's Back Hall at Fort Gordon from November 2001 to 2003.
Kinne described the contents of the calls as "personal, private things with Americans who are not in any way, shape or form associated with anything to do with terrorism."
WATCH Kinne discuss why it was 'awkward' listening to her fellow Americans.
She said US military officers, American journalists and American aid workers were routinely intercepted and "collected on" as they called their offices or homes in the United States.

First, a comment from GeorgeWashington's Blogspot:
I've previously pointed out that the U.S. government heard the 9/11 plans from the hijackers' own mouths. Most of what I wrote about involved the NSA and other intelligence services tapping top Al Qaeda operatives' phone calls outside the U.S.
However, it turns out that the NSA was also tapping the hijackers' phone calls inside the U.S.
Specifically, hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi lived in San Diego, California, for 2 years before 9/11. Numerous phone calls between al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in San Diego and a high-level Al Qaeda operations base in Yemen were made in those 2 years.
The NSA had been tapping and eavesdropping on all calls made from that Yemen phone for years. So NSA recorded all of these phone calls. Indeed, the CIA knew as far back as 1999 that al-Mihdhar was coming to the U.S. Specifically, in 1999, CIA operatives tailing al-Mihdhar in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, obtained a copy of his passport. It contained visas for both Malaysia and the U.S., so they knew it was likely he would go from Kuala Lumpur to America.
The above information comes from James Bamford, the Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings for almost a decade – where he won a number of journalism awards for his coverage national security issues – whose articles have appeared in dozens of publications, including cover stories for the New York Times Magazine, Washington Post Magazine, and the Los Angeles Times Magazine, and is the only author to write any books (he wrote three) on the NSA.…Continue reading
by Mickey Huff, Associate Director of Project Censored
Project Censored, the media research group at Sonoma State University (SSU), has just released it's annual report on the top stories that didn't make the corporate mainstream news from the past year. The book is published by Seven Stories Press. Censored 2009, edited by director Dr. Peter Phillips with Dr. Andrew Roth, exposes the major stories Americans should know and care about that the "free press" just doesn't deliver. The top stories for this year can be viewed at the PC website and the piece in the North Bay Bohemian can be read here.
Project Censored award winning journalist and researcher Stephen Lendman has just written about the Project in a piece titled Project Censored's Media Democracy Advocacy which looks at the history of the Project as well as details in this year's volume. A lecture series hosting authors of this years top censored stories is presently underway at SSU for those in the Bay Area wishing to attend. The series is being broadcast at Free Speech TV this fall as well.
As acting Associate Director of Project Censored, I invite everyone to explore this year's book and help support media democracy in action. Our currently calamitous and critical condition as a fragile free society depends upon a well informed citizenry and I strongly believe that Project Censored is a major force in the direction of strengthening our society's democratic institutions and principles.

on citizens' overseas phone calls and e-mail, few additional details about the
massive "Terrorist Surveillance Program" have emerged. That's because
the Bush administration has stonewalled, misled and denied documents to Congress,
and subpoenaed the phone records of the investigative reporters.
Now privacy advocates are hopeful that President Obama will be more forthcoming
with information. But for the quickest and most honest account of Bush's illegal
policies, they say don't look to the incoming president. Watch instead for the
hidden army of would-be whistle-blowers who've been waiting for Inauguration
Day to open the spigot on the truth.
"I'd bet there are a lot of career employees in the intelligence agencies
who'll be glad to see Obama take the oath so they can finally speak out against
all this illegal spying and get back to their real mission," says Caroline
Fredrickson, the ACLU's Washington D.C. legislative director.
New Yorker investigative reporter Seymour Hersh already has a slew of sources
waiting to spill the Bush administration's darkest secrets, he said in an interview
last month. "You cannot believe how many people have told me to call them
on January… Continue reading

A career Army officer who survived the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, claims that no evacuation was ordered inside the Pentagon, despite flight controllers calling in warnings of approaching hijacked aircraft nearly 20 minutes before the building was struck.
According to a time-line of the attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration notified NORAD that American Airlines Flight 77 had been hijacked at 9:24 a.m. The Pentagon was not struck until 9:43 a.m.
On behalf of retired Army officer April Gallop, California attorney William Veale has filed a civil suit against former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney and former US Air Force General Richard Myers, who was acting chairman of the joint chiefs on 9/11. It alleges they engaged in conspiracy to facilitate the terrorist attacks and purposefully failed to warn those inside the Pentagon, contributing to injuries she and her two-month-old son incurred.
"The ex-G.I. plaintiff alleges she has been denied government support since then, because she raised 'painful questions' about the inexplicable failure of military defenses at the Pentagon that day, and especially the failure of officials to warn and evacuate the occupants of the building when they knew the attack was imminent" said Veale in a media advisory.
Gallop also says she heard two loud explosions, and does not believe that a Boeing 757 hit the building. Her son sustained a serious brain injury, and Gallop herself was knocked unconscious after the roof collapsed onto her office.
The suit also named… Continue reading

(James Bamford has done another great deed for the public by revealing the extent of the NSA's wiretapping on U.S. soil, and how the NSA sub-contracts the vast majority of its work to Israeli high-tech firms bristling with "former" Israeli military intelligence agents, and in the case of Verint, a company with serious corruption issues. It was Bamford who popularized the existence of Operation Northwoods in his 2001 book, Body of Secrets. In The Shadow Factory, he sheds light in the secret rooms of Verizon and AT&T, and shows the NSA to be a very poor custodian of the nation's security.)
Bamford Brings the Goods
On October 14, 2008, James Bamford talked about some of the shocking research in his new book on Democracy Now!, with Amy Goodman:
Along with the mass surveillance being conducted on all U.S. users of AT&T and Verizon by Narus and Verint, (according to Bamford), two other Israeli-owned companies, Amdocs and NICE Systems, have their fingers in the wiretapping pie as well.
Christopher Ketcham preceded Bamford in September, with with the article "Trojan
Horse," that focuses on Verint, Amdocs, and CALEA (the legislation which
brought all of these problems into existence):
"Together, Verint and Amdocs form part of the backbone of the government's domestic intelligence surveillance technology. Both companies are based in Israel — having arisen to prominence from that country's cornering of the information technology market — and are heavily funded by the Israeli government,… Continue reading

The National Archives today released a set of records the 9/11 Commission gave it. It did so today because the commission told it it had to wait until 2009 to do so, presumably on the off chance that people would have forgotten about it all by then. The records are in two groups, Memorandums for the Record (MFR), which are available online, and other records, which are not available online.
Editor's Note: The National Archives 9/11 Commission Records URL's have been updated.
Kevin Fenton, who wrote this blog entry today, is one of the great researchers working with Paul Thompson and so many other fine people at HistoryCommons.org (formerly known to most of us as CooperativeResearch.org) to document our history. Not just about 9/11, but about aspects of our lives so appallingly rewritten by media and textbooks. The work underway at HistoryCommons is absolutely invaluable, and we encourage readers to get involved and otherwise support that work.
I have been trawling through the ones that are available online and I have learned a few things of interest.
(1) Stacks of the MFR are not actually available. Either they have not been reviewed yet (pending), or have been withdrawn because they are very classified, or they have been made available, but have had the bejesus redacted out of them.
(2) Two of the two key MFR, of interviews of Tom Wilshire, a CIA officer involved in just about everything… Continue reading

Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice, who helped expose the NSA's warrantless wiretapping in December 2005, has now come forward with even more startling allegations. Tice told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the programs that spied on Americans were not only much broader than previously acknowledged but specifically targeted journalists.
"The National Security Agency had access to all Americans' communications — faxes, phone calls, and their computer communications," Tice claimed. "It didn't matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all communications."
Tice further explained that "even for the NSA it's impossible to literally collect all communications. … What was done was sort of an ability to look at the metadata … and ferret that information to determine what communications would ultimately be collected."
According to Tice, in addition to this "low-tech, dragnet" approach, the NSA also had the ability to hone in on specific groups, and that was the aspect he himself was involved with. However, even within the NSA there was a cover story meant to prevent people like Tice from realizing what they were doing.
"In one of the operations that I was in, we looked at organizations, just supposedly so that we would not target them," Tice told Olbermann. "What I was finding out, though, is that… Continue reading

The super-secretive National Security Agency has been quietly monitoring, decrypting, and interpreting foreign communications for decades, starting long before it came under criticism as a result of recent revelations about the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. Now a forthcoming PBS documentary asks whether the NSA could have prevented 9/11 if it had been more willing to share its data with other agencies.
Author James Bamford looked into the performance of the NSA in his 2008 book, The Shadow Factory, and found that it had been closely monitoring the 9/11 hijackers as they moved freely around the United States and communicated with Osama bin Laden's operations center in Yemen. The NSA had even tapped bin Laden's satellite phone, starting in 1996.
"The NSA never alerted any other agency that the terrorists were in the United States and moving across the country towards Washington," Bamford told PBS.
PBS also found that "the 9/11 Commission never looked closely into NSA's role in the broad intelligence breakdown behind the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. If they had, they would have understood the full extent to which the agency had major pieces of the puzzle but never put them together or disclosed their entire body of knowledge to the CIA and the FBI."
In a review of Bamford's book, former senator and 9/11 Commission member Bob Kerrey wrote, "As the 9/11 Commission later established, U.S. intelligence officials knew that al-Qaeda had held a planning meeting in Malaysia, found out the names of two recruits who had been present — Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi — and suspected that one and maybe both of them had flown to Los Angeles.…Continue reading
Terrell (Terry) E. Arnold was the number 2 counter-terrorism official at the U.S. State Department, and is one of the world's leading experts on terror.
Arnold served as the Deputy Director, Office of Counter-Terrorism and Emergency Planning, at the U.S. State Department. He is also the former Chairman of the Department of International Studies at the National War College.
Arnold has worked as a crisis management consultant for several Federal agencies, including The State Department, the Department of Defense, the U.S. Customs Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He is the author of numerous books on terror*. Arnold is a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II and the Korean war.
I spoke with Arnold by phone.
GW: Your essay It is Vital to Move Beyond 9/11 is insightful and hard-hitting, and I agree with virtually everything you say. I have previously written on many of the topics you touch on, such as false pretenses for war , torture and illegal spying .
Initially, you write:
"As an alleged post 9/11 defense, the War on Terrorism is a gigantic fraud."
I agree with you completely, and have written several essays arguing that the War on Terror is a hoax (see this , this and this ).
As a leading counter-terrorism expert, I am curious to hear why you believe this.
Terry Arnold: The military approach doesn't cover all of the elements of the problem. We need to capture and confine the individuals who are up to… Continue reading
We urge Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a non-partisan independent Special Counsel to immediately commence a prosecutorial investigation into the most serious alleged crimes of former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Richard B. Cheney, the attorneys formerly employed by the Department of Justice whose memos sought to justify torture, and other former top officials of the Bush Administration.
UPDATE 2/27/09 6pm: In response to the many email questions we've received asking why we have not endorsed this call for a Special Prosecutor: On 2/24, when this statement/petition was posted at AfterDowningStreet.org, 911truth.org immediately signed on as an endorsing organization via the signup at that site. As of now, our name does not appear on that list. Nonetheless, we did submit endorsement. We are not, yet, encouraging 9/11 truth advocates to politely contact David Swanson asking him why he would permanently post a video statement from Willie Rodriguez on the front page of his site, yet continue to ignore/ban the burgeoning 9/11 truth movement from being heard as the powerful voice we are, in calling for truth and accountability. We believe that Mr. Swanson is acting in good faith, all in all, and will post our endorsement with the others on the list shortly.
Our laws, and treaties that under Article VI of our Constitution are the supreme law of the land, require the prosecution of crimes that strong evidence suggests these individuals have committed. Both the former president and the former vice president have confessed to authorizing a torture procedure that is illegal under our law and treaty obligations.…Continue reading

Last week's resignation of the top cybersecurity official for the Department of Homeland
Security has revealed a thorny bureaucratic rivalry between the National Security
Agency and the resigned official who accuses NSA of having too tight a hold
on cybersecurity.
After less than a year as director of the National Cyber Security Center, Rod
Beckstrom resigned on Friday, citing a lack of funding and efforts by the NSA
to dominate government cypersecurity. The Wall Street Journal has his
letter of resignation, which can be read here.
In the letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, Beckstrom charged that NSA
"effectively controls DHS cyber efforts" through employee detailees to NCSC
from NSA, technology insertions and the proposed move of the NCSC to NSA's Fort
Meade facility.
"While acknowledging the critical importance of NSA to our intelligence efforts,
I believe this is a bad strategy on multiple grounds," Beckstrom wrote. "The
intelligence culture is very different than a network operations or security
Beckstrom said as director he objected to the "subjugation" of NCSC under NSA
and had advocated for a "credible civilian government cybersecurity capability"
that cooperated with NSA but didn't answer to it.
"This is a coordination body and it resides alongside or above the other centers,
but certainly not below them," Beckstrom said of the NCSC in a Washington
Post interview after his resignation. "In my view, it is very important
that there be independence for the [center], and that it… Continue reading

In an interview on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday, host Terry Gross asked investigative journalist Seymour Hersh if, as he continues to investigate the Bush administration, "more people" were "coming forward" to talk to him now that "the president and vice president are no longer in power." Hersh replied that though "a lot of people that had told me in the last year of Bush, 'call me next, next February,' not many people had talked to him. He implied that they were still scared of Cheney.
"Are you saying that you think Vice President Cheney is still having a chilling effect on people who might otherwise be coming forward," asked Gross. "I'll make it worse," answered Hersh, adding that he believes Cheney "put people back" in government to "stay behind" in order to "tell him what's going on" and perhaps even "do sabotage":
HERSH: I'll make it worse. I think he's put people left. He's put people back. They call it a stay behind. It's sort of an intelligence term of art. When you leave a country and, you know, you've driven out the, you know, you've lost the war. You leave people behind. It's a stay behind… Continue reading

For some time now, many Americans have wondered how Congress, the elected body that the nation's Founding Fathers saw as the bulwark of liberty, could have been so thoroughly unwilling to, or incapable of challenging the dictatorial power-grabs and the eight-year Constitution wrecking campaign of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There has been speculation on both the far left and the far right, and even among some in the apolitical, cynical middle of the political spectrum, that somehow the Bush/Cheney administration must have been blackmailing at least the key members of the Congressional leadership, most likely through the use of electronic monitoring by the National Security Agency (NSA).
I'll admit that I considered the idea of blackmail a bit far out. But now suddenly there is at least some evidence that such seemingly wild speculation may not have been off the mark, with reports that the NSA was indeed monitoring Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), and that the Bush Administration used the evidence it had obtained of her improper conversations with and promises to assist agents of the Israeli government and its lobby here in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to blackmail her into supporting the NSA's warrantless spying program–the very kind of spying that led to her being caught on tape plotting with an agent of a foreign power.
At the time of the taping of Harman's incriminating phone conversations, the administration was trying desperately (and ultimately successfully) to get the New York Times to hold off on publishing a shocking investigative report by journalist James Risen about a massive campaign of warrantless tapping of Americans' phone and internet communications.…Continue reading

Anthony Hall is like many other 9/11 skeptics. At some point, after examining the events of 9/11 and the international consequences of that foul deed, (particularly the
consequences that befell countries with a predominantly Arab/Muslim population), Mr. Hall decided to speak out. The difference between Hall and most 9/11 skeptics, is that Mr. Hall is a sitting academic at a university in Lethbridge, Alberta, in Canada.
Hall joined a growing list of Canadian academics who have chosen to speak out publicly; John McMurtry , Graeme MacQueen , Michael Keefer , and of course, Michel Chossudovsky , a pioneer in 9/11 skepticism.
He made his debut as a skeptic of the 9/11 Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) on September 6, 2008 in Edmonton, Alberta, with a reading of his paper, The Lies and Crimes of 911 . The paper is an excellent introduction to a series of complex, related studies, that encompass globalization, US imperial tendencies, and false-flag terrorism. Hall is well-versed in these issues, and won an Alberta Book Award for his volume, The American Empire and the Fourth World .
The cover features provocative imagery; Apache-like helicopters in place of stars on the American flag, giving no doubt as to Hall's intent. The image is a very un-subtle, ironic reinterpretation of one of the prime symbols of the American dream; the very banner of Liberty itself is subverted to shock the viewer into a reevaluation of the iconic Red, White and Blue. Just as… Continue reading

Blue Dog Rep. Jane Harman — once the most vigorous Democratic cheerleader of Bush's NSA warrantless eavesdropping program — is rip-roarin' angry today. Apparently, her private conversations were eavesdropped on by the U.S. Government! This is a grave outrage that, as she told Andrea Mitchell just moments ago, demands a probing investigation:
That's what I asked Attorney General Holder to do — to release any tapes, I don't know whether they were legally made or not, of my conservations about this matter . . . and to hope that he will investigate whether other members of Congress or other innocent Americans might have been subject to this same treatment. I call it an abuse of power in the letter I wrote him this morning.
. . .
I'm just very disappointed that my country — I'm an American citizen just like you are — could have permitted what I think is a gross abuse of power in recent years. I'm one member of Congress who may be caught up in it, and I have a bully pulpit and I can fight back. I'm thinking about others who have no bully pulpit, who may not be aware, as I was not, that someone is listening in on their conversations, and they're innocent Americans.
So if I understand this correctly — and I'm pretty sure I do — when the U.S. Government eavesdropped for years on American citizens with no warrants and in violation of… Continue reading
The former FBI translator and whistleblower suggests blackmail may be at the

Exclusive to The BRAD BLOG
I have been known to quote long-dead men in my past writings. Whether eloquently
expressed thoughts by our founding fathers, or those artfully expressed by ancient
Greek thinkers, these quotes have always done a better job starting or ending
my thoughts – that tend to be expressed in long winding sentences. For this piece
I am going to break with tradition and start with an appropriate quote from a
living current senator, John Kerry: "It's a sad day when you have members of
Congress who are literally criminals go undisciplined by their colleagues. No
wonder people look at Washington and know this city is broken."
The people do indeed look at Washington and know that this city is 'badly' broken, Senator Kerry. The public confidence in our Congress has been declining drastically. Recent poll results highlight how the American people's trust in their Congress has hit rock bottom. A survey of progressive blogs easily confirms the rage rightfully directed at our Congress for abdicating its role of oversight and accountability. Activists scream about promised hearings that never took place – without explanation. They express outrage when investigations are dropped without any justification. And they genuinely wonder out… Continue reading

Extraordinary 1796 JR-3 Dime, MS631796 10C MS63 NGC. JR-3, R.5. Mostly brilliant silver surfaces show light rose accents on each side. Bright mint luster shows the often-seen semiprooflike or reflective finish. The date, LIBERTY, hair strands, and stars at the left are all bold, with the right-side stars above average. The reverse has definitive wreath details with remarkably sharp breast feathers.
Die State. Slight evidence of obverse die lapping appears in the form of weakened upper hair details. The reverse has some fragmented leaves, missing feathers in the left (facing) wing, and part of the rock missing, all from die lapping. The reverse is cracked from the border through the left top of the first T in STATES, continuing down through the wreath and well into the left wing. A branch follows the top of the T to the rim over A where it forms a triangular lump that connects three dentils.
Condition Census. Only three or four Mint State coins are known, including the present piece that is almost certainly the finest known survivor from these dies. This identical coin was recorded in the dime book as the finest seen at that time. The Lovejoy Collection held an XF coin, and the JR-3 was missing from the Bolen and Eliasberg collections. A Mint State coin appeared in the Pittman Collection, and another in the Whitney Collection, both apparently inferior to this piece.
Appearances. Plated in Auction '81, the Koshkarian catalog, and our 2005 ANA catalog.
Obverse Die. Star 1 is distant from the lowest curl, diagnostic. In the date, the 1 is close to the curl and the 6 is closer to the drapery. Stars 1 and 8 are distant from the curl and L; stars 9 and 15 are closer to the Y and drapery. Stars 3, 4, and 5 are closer than other stars on the left. Star 15 is nearly centered between star 14 and the bust. LIBERTY has ER extremely close and the tops of TY joined.
State a. Perfect obverse. State b. Traces of lapping at the top hair curls. A faint crack joins the border to star 1.
Reverse Die. A leaf is merged with the base of U, diagnostic. Usually with a small planchet cut at the lower left reverse. The wreath has 19 leaves and four berries in the left branch, and 13 leaves in the right branch. A leaf is extremely close to the base of D, and it probably appears to join that letter on lower grade pieces. Leaves join the right corners of E and I in AMERICA, and the left base of the final A. Outside berries are positioned below the upper right serif of T in UNITED, and about one-fourth the distance between D and S. A trace of recutting appears at the right top of the U.
State a. Perfect reverse. State b. A crack from the border to the left top of the first T in STATES continues faintly to the left branch and wing. State c. The crack is bold through the wreath and wing, with a branch through the top of the T and the border over A. State d. A rim break forms over the first T in STATES.
Heritage Commentary. This is the first of four die-linked varieties, including JR-4, JR-5, and JR-7. It is the third rarest of the seven 1796 dime varieties, behind the unique JR-7 and the rare JR-5.
Consignor Commentary. An interesting feature is that a planchet cut at 7 to 8 o'clock is present on many specimens--apparently due to a metal chip adhering to the die (per dime book). I have observed many JR-3's. I have noted the planchet cut to be present on all coins with reverse States a and b and on some coins with reverse State c. The cut is absent on any of the reverse State d coins I have observed. I believe that the cut first appears near T1 and gradually moves toward U. The present coin is reverse State c without the cut.
Provenance. Ex: Auction '81 (RARCOA, 7/1981), lot 83; Ed Milas (privately, 5/1987); Haig Koshkarian (American Numismatic Rarities, 3/2004), lot 46; Melrose Bay Collection; Heritage (7/2005), lot 10154; Stuart Levine (7/28/2005).

Scarily, Mayweather has shifted to becoming a better businessman than fighter. He has mastered the art of anticipation and media presence to his financial benefit. Whats makes this so dangerous is that even though he is no longer in his prime, he garners the attention and money as if he is and by many, still considered the best in the game…not many athletes can accomplish that. He style of fighting creates longevity and preservation, which equates to him being able to maintain his level of talent and dominance for so long. He decides who he fights, when he fights, where he fights, how much he makes, how much his opponent makes…what other fighter doesnt want or covet that??? And fans and haters alike all watch to see what happens next.Posted February 2, 2013 2:10 pm

Castillo was FAR from some sort of epic robbery, it was a somewhat close fight where Floyd got the nod then came back and put it on Castillo.. Floyd has basically won ALL but one of his fights via either UD or stoppage its a remarkable achievement he is NOT some sort of huge puncher nor very big fighter but his skills and athletic talent render most contests unfair NOT because his opponents suck, but because he is simply the best… The guys racing against Usain Bolt are NOT slow, but they are a step behind Bolt… Floyd knows the feeling….Posted January 31, 2013 11:35 am

Peej; I agree with you. But I want to also add on to what you just said. What makes me laugh at folks when they bring up that fight with Castillo is the fact that NONE OF THEM ever gives Floyd credit for being MAN ENOUGH to give the man a REMATCH to leave NO DOUBT who was better. We all know what happened in that second fight; but nobody never seems to want to talk about that.Posted January 31, 2013 2:36 am
Well I thought Floyd won the first fight by a round. So in close fights there are always going to be folks who say someone else should of lost. It was not robbery just a close fight that went Floyds way. And this was way before he was a star. Heck Castillo carried more weight than he did at the timePosted January 31, 2013 1:02 am

Fighters fight to pay the bills. Even in the past the fighter fought so often because they had to not for any other reason. If they made the money Floyd does they would have fought less.

I was wondering what was keeping the announcement of Floyds opponent likely will coincide with the Superbowl, most people seem to think Guerrero or Canelo but will be interestin to see if they announce anyone else, i remember being shocked when the Ortiz fight was announced.
Can't believe the amount of hate towards Mayweather on this site either, why can boxing fans not appreciate his talent, he has had a HOF career & as for the cherry-picking comments i think these are largely not true. Boxing politics often means great fights do not get made or when they do are often delayed. 1 fighter Floyd was always accused of ducking (in his prime) was Cotto when in actual fact Cotto was slated as his next opponent after the Gatti fight at 140lbs but after the destruction of Gatti, Cotto didnt want the fight then. Then following yrs of Cotto fighting under Arum (& thus only fighting Arum fighters) once he was a free agent the fight was made right away.Posted January 30, 2013 5:30 pm
Even though I cant stand him you do have to recognize Floyds amazin defensive skills. But he should never put himself with Sugar Robinson,Ali,Armstrong etc like hes one of the GOATs for many reasons, but just one that stands out for me is him fightin just once every year and a half. I heard he announced not too long ago that he will fight twice this year woooow damn twice in one year! You are too good to us Floyd. He should look at the records of some of the true greats and see how many times and frequently they went to war before he makes that comparison again.Posted January 30, 2013 5:22 pm
Floyd is a great fighter but nowhere near the G.O.A.T. not even closePosted January 30, 2013 5:14 pm

Mayweather made a circus out of boxing retiring, unretiring, sporadic fight. Just like Sugar Ray Leonard. I'm glad Camacho beat Leonard stopped the circus clown. That way they think about really never coming back to boxing, still in until the end and fight who you are suppose to fight. I like Mayweather, but I hate his sporadic fighting.Posted January 30, 2013 2:41 pm

The Jr/Pac non-fight continues to lose value everyday. It won't happen & if it ever does one or both won't be relevant, elite level fighters. By that time they might have to build a ramp to the apron for both guys to get their hoveround in the ring. Probably the biggest non-fight since Bowe/Lewis or Trinidad/Mosley.Posted January 30, 2013 2:31 pm

@Sredmond. There's no point in trying to make sense of reality for people. It is often said you cannot win an argument with an ignorant person, which I think u know means you are wasting your time. People love to hate because they cannot deal with reality. Just smile at them and say here is your helmet, no go sit down at the table and do your finger painting:)Posted January 30, 2013 12:52 pm

Floyd Mayweather biggest fraud in boxing. This clown needs to fight elite fighters at their prime to be considered and win .Posted January 30, 2013 12:29 pm

I thought this was going to be news. Of course Jr is going to piggyback off a big event. That is smart marketing & cheap promotion. All of Jr's fights are Heavily promoted, no news there. The real news would have been an official announcement. Probably Guerrero which is a good match up. I don't think Guerrero can still be put in the undersized category. Guerrero man-handled Berto & his chicken legs all night. Guerrero was able to stay in Berto's chest & stay busy. Guerrero also proved he could take shots from a big puncher. I like this match up. Canelo still hasn't faced any top level opposition, much less anyone that can prepare him for someone as slippery as Jr. Canelo is still a work in progress. Canelo has nothing to lose vs. Jr. he will be expected to lose but he won't take a lot of punishment & is still young enough to move forward.Posted January 30, 2013 12:09 pm
Livitz says… "His handers aren't ready to see Canelo have it handed to him by a far superior fighter." WTF? You must be talking about Austin Trout.. All the Canelo people want is a Mayweather fight.. They even said they would fight "anybody" if they were guaranteed a Floyd fight next … You're just not listening.
Some people here are still talking about the Floyd-Castillo I fight.. Floyd won that fight unanimously by 4 or 5 points on EVERY scorecard—my card was 1116-112—even though Floyd suffered a partially torn rotator cuff injury which limited his jab in that fight.. Floyd gave Castillo a boxing lesson in the rematch—which because of all the brick bats Merchant threw at Floyd he immediately wanted to give Castillo.. "Let's do a rematch." Lennox Lewis could have taken a lesson from him.Posted January 30, 2013 12:02 pm
"but he is the best of this generation" Why? Because that's what you heard or read? He's the best welterweight right now, but that's about it.Posted January 30, 2013 11:54 am

Mayweather is 36 and in boxing that is certainly getting old, if these young fighters cannot get to him then SHAME on them… Martinez, Marquez and FMJ are all spanking guys many years their junior and the reality the deserve the cache that comes with taking out ranked fighters that are much younger… No matter how pristine his defense FMJ has absorbed the wear and tear of a professional athlete for over 20 years (amateur and pro) as a professional NONE of these fighters have been able to do more than win a few rounds, its a remarkable acheivement considering he has been a Champ in 5 weight classes and fought multiple HOF fighters, standing and ex multi-division Champions…Posted January 30, 2013 11:31 am
Casamayor and Freitas don't belong in the same sentence as FMJ, Joel was slick fighter in his prime and Freitas could hit but he (Freitas) QUIT against Corrales who FMJ totally dominated when he was a PRIME undefeated fighter… AGAIN you will have to wait till time erodes his skills because Floyd is the KING of boxing all others are subordinate and thats just a fact…Posted January 30, 2013 10:46 am
You lost me at "world's greatest fighter"Posted January 30, 2013 10:45 am
Mayweather is likely going to fight against PRIME 4 weight Champ Guerrero first.. Like Floyd Robert G is coming up from the lower divisions successfully thus far…Guys want to ignore Mayweathers history of coming up from lower weights to challenge bigger fighters because he is so talented its STILL not a fair fight…. If you are against him facing Guerrero who just manhandled a STRONG, YOUNG WW like Berto then you should be against Floyd facing the BIGGER Canelo??? And don't try to tell me Mayweather is long term at 154 because he ONLY had 2 fights there and he has never even weighed the limit…Robert G has 2 fights at 147 so whats the fking difference??Posted January 30, 2013 10:43 am

And on another note, people say Floyd ducked certain fighters, remember Floyd was under contract with HBO for the longest time and alot of other fighters that he so called ducked where under contract with showtime. Like Casamayor and Freitas where all contracted with showtimePosted January 30, 2013 2:11 am
For the haters Floyd is a great fighter, I don't like him but he is the best of this generation. For the supporters, this guy needed to fight more if he ever wanted to be considered one of the greatest of all time. He is a top 25 ATG fighter but won't break the the top 10. That is reserved for guys who take on all comers and Floyd isn't that type of fighter.Posted January 30, 2013 1:57 am

There's no better way to kick off the season than with two in-state powers going head-to-head. Miami and Florida State meet for the 31st time on Monday (ESPN Full Circle, 8 p.m. ET). Last year, both teams had questions at quarterback and relied on their defenses to keep them in ball games. Quarterbacks Kyle Wright (Miami) and Drew Weatherford (Florida State) proved themselves in their first seasons at the helm. Expect to see the coaches take the gloves off in this go-around.
Miami is coming off an offseason full of off-field issues. The Canes have six new coaches and a handful of suspended players, but the fact that they are playing in front of a national audience against a conference rival could be a rallying point for the team. The coaches will reinforce that they're happy with the team and the changes they've made.
Even though Wright will miss his best receiver (suspended senior Ryan Moore), Miami has the best returning defense in the country. If the Canes can get some juice from the offense -- look for new offensive coordinator Rich Olson to get his talented group of tight ends involved -- they'll be tough to match up with.
In 2005, Florida State had so many injuries to its offensive line that it lacked the necessary cohesiveness. Weatherford had a great year throwing the ball but should be even better this year with an improved running game. The Seminoles need to move the ball on the ground to take pressure off the passing game. Look for Florida State to get back to the offensive balance it was known for in its heyday.
Saturday night's Cal-Tennessee matchup (ESPN, 5:30 p.m. ET) might be the most interesting game this weekend. After a rocky 2005, which included coach Phil Fulmer's first losing season at Rocky Top, Tennessee enters the season with a very talented squad. The Volunteers could get a much-needed confidence boost with a win against the Golden Bears.
A loss, however, would test Tennessee's collective psyche. Like most SEC schools, Tennessee's rabid fan base gives it a huge home-field advantage. After an offseason of criticism and calls for Fulmer's job, a loss might overwhelm Volunteer Nation. If the crowd turns against them, it could be tough for Tennessee to bounce back.
UT opens the season against an outstanding team. But Cal, which boasts Heisman Trophy candidate Marshawn Lynch, is also under pressure. The Bears spent most of last season on the West Coast and don't have experience playing in the raucous SEC.
This game will answer important questions for both teams. Will Tennessee deal with adversity? Can Cal handle the atmosphere? The team that does will start the season with a huge advantage.
Texas coach Mack Brown announced Tuesday that the Longhorns' starting quarterback job would go to redshirt freshman Colt McCoy. I applaud Coach Brown's decision. Even if McCoy and freshman Jevon Snead were even in the preseason workouts, McCoy brings something important to the equation: experience. McCoy spent all of last season attending meetings, competing in practice and watching Vince Young lead the team to a national championship.

tls_var0 unresolved, coudln't find a solution
I did a search but none of the suggestions woudl fix it. When I load X I get the dlopen error with GLCore.so that it can't find the symbol __gl_tls_var0, thus glx doesn't get included with X. Most of the people suggested upgrading libc6 which I have upgraded to the latest version. I am using 2.6.3 kernel, nptl enabled glibc, /lib/libc.so.6 says that thread-local storage is included. Not sure what to do here. My distro is sourcemage. I am using nvidia drivers 3123 (cannot use higher up drivers, I have a geforce 2 GO and the other drivers above that lock up the computer totally either when laoding X or unloading X (depending on which drivers). I have reinstalled the GLX drivers many times but they don't seem to fix it. Any help is appreciated.
--Matthew Shapiro
Nevermind, figured out how to get the latest drivers working and glx is working now.

The ROUND 30 sign on thread is up, link below in my sig.
I must say that I'm very sorry my cards haven't made it out to the world yet. They will be going very soon. It's been rather warm and humid this summer and with no air conditioning and the darkroom in a second floor spare room it's been tough. I just don't get along with the heat & humidity.
I've received many cards and hope to acknowledge them soon. One I'll mention now, kraker's card arrived in the last mail. Lovely card actually the first cyantype I've seen in person. Just one question, why does it have a stamp on the back saying it was "MISSENT TO MPC JAKARTA" ? That seems a little out of the way to get from the Netherlands to Canada.

Reuters - Sun, 14 Mar 22:59:00 2010
South African Ernie Els ended his barren two year spell by winning the WGC-CA Championship by four strokes after a classy six-under-par final round of 66 held off compatriot Charl Schwartzel.
Els last won on the tour in March 2008 at the Honda Classic, and his victory comes just a week after he tied for 67th at the same event in Palm Beach Gardens.
"I'm 40 years old but I still had my hairs on end," said a beaming Els after Schwartzel, 15 years his junior, bogeyed three times on the back nine while Els held his nerve with two birdies down the stretch in his bogey-free round.
American Matt Kuchar, Germany's Martin Kaymer and Ireland's Padraig Harrington were tied in third, seven strokes behind Els.
Schwartzel had been in outstanding form, winning two European Tour events already this season, but was unable to match Els's steeliness after the turn and momentum swung to the twice US Open champion on 14 when he saved par with a magnificent 24-foot putt to maintain the one stroke lead he had from the front nine.
Schwartzel's challenge then evaporated on 15 when he chipped out of the front greenside bunker and rolled into another sand trap at the back and bogeyed.
The two stroke advantage with three holes remaining was always going to be tough for the 25-year-old to make up and it was all over on the par-four 17th when Schwartzel found rough and then missed a seven foot putt for par.
Els, who made just five bogeys all week, found the green in two and then sunk home a four foot birdie putt and ensured the final hole was just a formality.
"He played flawless golf today, if you make six birdies and no bogeys on a windy day like this you are almost bound to win," said Schwartzel.
"But I played really well and this shows me that I can play against the best in the world. My time will come, I suppose."
