'Obamacare' and my self-insuring company
Here is how Obamacare has affected me. Before Obamacare, that is up until December 31, 2010, the family deductible on my company-paid medical plan was $300 annually. After Obamacare, that is on January 1, 2011, the family deductible on my company-paid medical plan rose to $2,800 annually. You can do the math. Since my company is self-insured, my company decides what it will charge for healthcare coverage. In this case, they decided... because of Obamacare... to raise the family deductible from $300 to $2,800—"Take it or leave it."
When Obama said, "If you like your current health plan, you'll be able to keep it," he was lying. Well, no surprise there. When Obama said his plan would bend the cost curve downward, what he really meant was: bend over and face downward. I was sodomized by the president of the United States.

Westin to Debut in Dominican Republic

PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC—Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. plans to debut its Westin brand in the Dominican Republic by year's end at the Puntacana Resort & Club.
Starwood's development partner, Grupo Puntacana, is working on the hotel.
"The Westin Puntacana Resort & Club is a highly anticipated addition to our growing resorts portfolio..." stated Brian Povinelli, global brand leader for Westin Hotels & Resorts, noting the new resort will offer the brand's signature programs and amenities.
The 204-room resort will offer 16 suites, meeting and wedding facilities, outdoor pool, poolside grill, lobby bar, cigar bar, children's club and walking trails. Additional amenities will include a full-service spa, 24-hour business center and gym.
Guests also will have access to the amenities available at Puntacana Resort & Club, including three miles of beaches, 45 holes of championship golf, nine restaurants, a Six Senses Spa, and a 1,500-acre ecological reserve.
The development of Grupo Puntacana dates back to 1969 when Dominican businessman Frank R. Rainieri and Theodore W. Kheel, the New York attorney and labor mediator, created a partnership to construct a resort and real estate community that respects the natural habitat of Punta Cana while offering a vacation experience. Maintaining a dedication to sustainable tourism, Puntacana Resort & Club has since grown to encompass more than 26 square miles and now includes Tortuga Bay; Six Senses Spa; the Punta Cana Ecological Foundation; four residential communities (Corales, Hacienda, Marina and Arrecife); a full-service marina; nine restaurants; a shopping village; 45 holes of championship golf and Punta Cana International Airport.

Industrial production and capacity utilization data for May 2015 are now available.
Industrial production decreased 0.2 percent in May after falling 0.5 percent in April. The decline in April was larger than previously reported, but the rates of change for previous months were generally revised higher, leaving the level of the index in April slightly above its initial estimate. Manufacturing output decreased 0.2 percent in May and was little changed, on net, from its level in January. In May, the index for mining moved down 0.3 percent after declining more than 1 percent per month, on average, in the previous four months. The slower rate of decrease for mining output last month was due in part to a reduced pace of decline in the index for oil and gas well drilling and servicing. The output of utilities increased 0.2 percent in May. At 105.1 percent of its 2007 average, total industrial production in May was 1.4 percent above its year-earlier level. Capacity utilization for the industrial sector decreased 0.2 percentage point in May to 78.1 percent, a rate that is 2.0 percentage points below its long-run (1972-2014) average.

37 year old man | Oceanside, CA, USA | Seeking women 24-38 within 30 miles
Looking for one sexy goofball...
Born and raised on the East Coast in NJ, l moved to San Diego 6 years ago and love it. I can be very sarcastic and I don't get offended easily. I probably joke around a bit too much at times but I wouldn't be me if I wasn't putting my foot squarely in my mouth on occasion. I am looking for someone who is beyond the club scene, values traveling and spending time with friends. I like to spend my weekends enjoying San Diego craft beer and getting being active outdoors. Brewing is a hobby of mine as well. As far as sports, I am a die hard Cowboys fan. I also follow UFC and college basketball. You don't have to be a big sports fan, but it helps if you don't mind sitting through a game here and there. I am a fairly traditional guy who believes in always dealing with people honestly, even when that's difficult. I am strong-willed, a leader not a follower. I have values and character because that's how my momma raised me ;). My friends and family always know they can count on me, and they do. I have always preferred to spend my time exploring one relationship at a time, rather than giving half-effort to multiple people. I am not afraid to take chances for what I want.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Billiards / Pool, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a Doberman named Lily. She is very friendly and loves attention.
Middle of the Road
We live in the Napa Valley of brewing. When I go out its usually to explore the next great San Diego brew. Vegas is always fun and nowhere is more relaxing than Yosemite. Once a year a trip to Mammoth is a given as well.
Villanova University, Villanova, PA
I don't always get to watch a lot of TV but try to record some of these. The Office, It's Always Sunny, The Ultimate Fighter, House, and a new favorite, American Horror Story (that show is twisted!)
During the week I work from 8:30 to 5:30, go to the gym, walk my dogs, relax and to head to bed by 11pm or so. So on the weekends I have no structure, spending a lot of time with friends, doing whatever sounds good.
Right now I am reading a lot of different brewing books. It's something I have enjoyed for years and I have decided to take it more seriously. Looking to put in the effort to improve my knowledge of the science of brewing.

A heartwarming video is sweeping the web, one in which an Army veteran is reunited with a bomb-sniffing dog that he served with in Iraq for nearly five years at O'Hare airport.

Published in U.S.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Sgt. Jason Bos was forced to leave the army in 2012 due to a back injury, and had to end his career with Military Working Dog Cila M389, whom he called Cici. The two spent their time together sniffing out IED's and hidden weapon caches, and screened sites for presidential visits.
Bos didn't know if he'd ever see Cila again, who at age five still had to serve time as a military dog. Eventually he was contacted and the kennel master at his former base contacted him about adopting her.

The City of Gaylord continues to search for a location for a new water tower for the community after the Sibley County Board rejected a request to purchase the city's preferred location earlier this week. Gaylord had wanted to purchase a parcel of land at the County Service Center site in west Gaylord for the proposed 400,000-gallon water tower, but the county board voted 3-2 to reject the purchase request due to possible future plans for the site. Alternative locations for a new water tower are now being discussed, with construction planned for next year. Gaylord's current water tower was built in 1917 and has a 75,000 gallon capacity.

|As trade deadline looms, looking back at Patriots' in-season deals under Bill Belichick
|10.29.13 at 8:05 am ET
With the NFL trade deadline set for Tuesday afternoon, here's a look at the in-season deals swung by the Patriots since Bill Belichick took over as coach in 2000.
2006: The day after a season-opening win over the Bills in Buffalo, the Patriots put an end to a protracted contract flap with wide receiver Deion Branch when they sent Branch to the Seahawks in exchange for a first-round selection in the 2007 draft.
2009: The Patriots made a couple of interesting moves that summer, including the trade of Richard Seymour to the Raiders for a first-round draft pick in the 2011 draft and a move that saw tight end David Thomas shipped to the Saints for a sixth-round pick in the 2011 draft. But the only in-season deal the Patriots made was a trade with the Ravens that saw them acquire linebacker Prescott Burgess in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
2010: The biggest year for in-season deals, at least from a volume perspective. On Sept. 14, the Patriots sent running back Laurence Maroney and a sixth-round pick to the Broncos for a fourth-round pick in 2011. Less than a month later, New England swung a pair of seismic trades: First, the Patriots dealt wide receiver Randy Moss and a seventh-round pick to the Vikings for a third-rounder in 2011 on Oct. 6. Then, six days later, New England re-acquired Branch in exchange for 2011 fourth-round pick (99th overall).
2012: Another impact in-season deal came that year on Nov. 1, when the Patriots acquired cornerback Aqib Talib and a 2013 seventh-round pick from Tampa Bay in exchange for a 2013 fourth-round draft choice (126th overall).
|Report: Randy Moss close to TV deal with Fox
|08.09.13 at 3:14 pm ET
According to Pro Football Talk, former NFL receiver Randy Moss is close to a television deal with Fox. Moss, 36, last played for the 49ers after sitting out the 2011 season.
The 21st overall pick of the 1998 draft by the Vikings, Moss' most memorable season came in 2007, when he had 1493 receiving yards and set the NFL record for touchdown receptions with 23 as a member of the Patriots. Moss spent parts of four seasons with the Patriots before being traded to the Vikings in a season that saw him play for three teams, as the Titans claimed the troubled receiver after he was waived by the Vikings.
In his career, Moss has played for five teams: the Vikings (twice), the Raiders, the Patriots, the Titans and the 49ers. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time All Pro.
|Which Patriots should expect a call from the Hall?
|08.03.13 at 11:10 pm ET
The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted the class of 2013 on Saturday night, with Bill Parcells, Larry Allen, Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden, Dave Robinson, Warren Sapp and Curley Culp honored in Canton. The most recent round of inductions got us wondering: What members of the Patriots over the last decade-plus could eventually end up being fitted for a yellow jacket? Here are 13 possibilities, with their Patriots careers in parentheses.
Bill Belichick (head coach, 2000-present): Regardless of how his career ends, whenever Belichick decides to retire the hoodie, five rings (three as head coach, two as a coordinator) are certainly enough to land a spot.
Tom Brady (2000-present): At the age of 36, with three Super Bowl titles and two MVPs, Brady is already a no-brainer. Can't imagine that there would be much debate over his candidacy.
Wes Welker (2007-2012): We wrote this column at the end of the 2012 season, and stand by it: Welker needs another 100 catches and another 1,000 receiving yards, and if he gets it, he'll be at the center of a great debate when he does decide to hang them up. That would give him almost 900 career receptions and close to 10,000 career receiving yards, which would put him in the heart of a discussion that once included Carter (1,101 catches, 13,899 receiving yards and 130 touchdowns, inducted this year) and now will focus on Andre Reed (951 catches and 13,198 receiving yards and 87 touchdowns, not in) and Tim Brown (1,094 catches, 14,934 yards and 100 touchdowns, not in). One thing that would help his candidacy would be at least one ring.
Randy Moss (2007-2010): Moss drew some flak this past January when he said he was the 'greatest receiver ever to play," But he's not too far off. Moss's 156 receiving touchdowns are second only to Rice's 197, and his 15,292 yards are third behind Rice's 22,895 and Terrell Owens' 15,934. (For what it's worth, if Moss could have hitched his wagon to Brady for more than three-plus seasons, he might have been able to catch Rice.) Like many of the guys on this list, his candidacy would be considered truly ironclad if he came away with a ring, and I'm not sure if that's possible at this stage of his career. But his stats should be more than enough to get him to the Hall. That induction speech will be an all timer.
|Tom Brady on D&C: Feelings about Wes Welker's departure 'very personal to me'
|05.23.13 at 8:00 am ET
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady joined Dennis & Callahan on Thursday morning to talk about the Patriots' offseason moves as OTAs begin as well as promote next weekend's Best Buddies charity event.
The biggest changes on the roster have come at wide receiver.
"There's quite a few new guys on the roster, certainly at the receiver position, almost the entire group," Brady said. "So, as many days of practice as we can get, as many opportunities that we can have to actually get out there and throw the ball together in a competitive environment, I think that's where the improvement comes. We've only had two days of practice.
"It's a very competitive position. I think there's a lot of positions that are very competitive on our team. I'm excited to see — at this point, the work that we've put in, how well it's paid off."
The most heralded new receiver is former Ram Danny Amendola, who worked out with Brady in Los Angeles recently.
"Danny, he's always had a lot of talent," Brady said. "To watch him out there and play against him — when he was at the Rams he was very productive. It's been fun to work with him. He's got the tenacity to him and the drive and the determination and the work ethic. In a short period of time, it's really easy to see. Like I said, he's one of those guys where the more we throw, the better we're going to be. So, we're trying to always kind of talk and communicate through practice, through OTAs. We threw in the spring a lot, and hopefully as the summer continues leading up to training camp, we'll get as many reps as we can together so we're on the same page."
Amendola has drawn comparisons to departed free agent Wes Welker.
"They're [at] similar positions, they're about the same height, they've both got very good ability," Brady said. "Wes was so productive for so long. I think it's unfair to compare anyone to Wes and what he was able to accomplish in his time here. Danny, he's just been fun to work with. I think he's come in really with an open mind and understanding of the way that we as Patriots, the way we need to play.
"Josh [McDaniels] is trying to get everyone on our entire offense up to speed with how we're going to play offense this year, how we're going to try to be more consistent than we've been the last few years. Danny's really taken to that; all the receivers have. And all the receivers have really had, like I said, a willingness to come in and work and listen and try to get better."
Asked his reaction to Welker's departure, Brady said he understands the business of the league.
"I don't think anything surprises me any more in the NFL," he said. "I've been around long enough to see things happen at different times with the greatest players of all, whether that's Wes, or Randy Moss being traded from the Raiders, or Brett Favre playing for the Jets and the Vikings. That's what happens. Like I said, it's a very tough, competitive business.
"Nobody appreciated Wes more than I did and what he was able to accomplish for our team. But he's moved on. He's in a good situation with another great team and a great quarterback. We've always kind of kept in touch, we always will. He's one of my best friends. I certainly wish him the best."
Brady has not publicly voiced any displeasure toward management about Welker's departure, and he explained that there's a reason for that.
"Of course I have feelings. But those feelings are very personal to me," he said. "I used to get caught up in anger and frustration and disappointment. But I don't make the decisions. These things aren't up to me. At some point you've got to realize the things that are out of your control. You've just got to let go and focus on my job and what I need to do. Because the game moves on, the team moves on. There's only so long you can dwell on the past. At some point you've got to move forward.
"Like I said, my job for my team is to be the best quarterback, and not the general manager and not the coach and not the owner. It's to try to go out there and bring my own competitiveness to the field so that those guys that I'm playing with this year can really rely on me and count on me to be the best I can be."
|Niners GM Trent Baalke heralds contributions of ex-Patriots receiver Randy Moss
|02.21.13 at 10:46 am ET
INDIANAPOLIS — Niners GM Trent Baalke had nothing but good things to say about former Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss, who just wrapped up his first season with San Francisco.
According to Baalke, Moss, who had 28 catches for 434 yards and three touchdowns this past season for the Niners, is "one of the smartest football players" he's ever been around. However, he wouldn't guarantee a return to the Bay Area for the 37-year-old Moss, who is an unrestricted free agent.
"Randy is a pro. I can't say enough good things about Randy, and I think if you ask anyone within our organization, they would say the same thing," Baalke said Thursday morning at the scouting combine. "One of the first guys to work every day. One of the last guys to leave. A guy who takes great care of his body. Is probably on of the smartest football players — if not the smartest football player I've been around. He grasped the offense very quickly, and was a real leader in that group, in that room. We're certainly happy that he was there. Is he going to return this year? I don't know that yet."
|Jerod Mayo and friends explain 'The Patriot Way' and what it means now
|01.16.13 at 4:05 pm ET
FOXBORO — The "Patriot Way' means different things to different people, even inside the Patriots locker room.
So while, Ravens wide receiver was boldly predicting this year's AFC championship 'we'll make it different, we're gonna win," Tom Brady, Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo we're humbly talking about what it's like to be a part of a team where the individual doesn't matter.
"I think Coach [Bill Belichick] always talks about doing your job," Brady said. "You do your job so that everyone around you can do their job. When people trust each other, then you can play with anticipation and confidence and ultimately go out there and play aggressively. There's no really no secret to it. It's just coach puts a lot of pressure on us in practice every day to perform at a high level. When we don't, we certainly hear about it. When you show up to work every day, you better have your game face on because you'll end up on the low light film the next morning. I think the guys bring that attitude every day and over the course of a long season, it results in enough wins to get us into the playoffs, give us a chance."
Brady pointed to past Patriots greats who helped teach him the 'Patriot Way'.
"I think I was one of those guys that had to learn that too," he added. "Tedy Bruschi took me aside and Willie McGinest took me aside and Lawyer Milloy took me aside. I think that's part of the responsibility as a veteran player that you learn from these experiences and you try to convey the message to some of the younger players so they don't have to learn the hard way. A lot of times you have to learn the hard way in life.
Wilfork echoed Brady's old-school teachings from great Patriots of the recent past.
"I learned a long time ago with Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinnest, Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour, I learned from some of the best that played around here," Wilfork said. "The first thing that comes to your mind is that you can't be selfish playing here. It is not about you. It is about the team and if you buy into that you will be very successful, and that is the one thing that I think this organization has had for a long time. Guys that come in here that aren't selfish and they put the team first because it is a team sport. It definitely is a team sport. You need everybody working on the same page. If you have one or two that are not you can be in big trouble. That is the Patriot Way. We put team first and we win as a team and we lose as a team. I have won a lot of games in my career being here and I wouldn't change it for nothing."
The other irony Wednesday was comment from Jerod Mayo, on a day when it snowed in the morning making the rush hour commute difficult. He reminded everyone of Adalius Thomas without dropping his name. It was three years ago when Thomas, Randy Moss, Derrick Burgess and Gary Guyton were sent home for being late to an 8 a.m. meeting on the morning of a snow storm.
"The 'Patriot Way' to me, starts at the top with the Kraft family," Mayo said. "Not only being a good football player, but being a good person and falling in line. If you want to be a good football team, you'll never be stuck in rush hour traffic. You are the first one here and the last one to leave. I think guys really buy into that, guys that come from other teams, I think they follow the lead of the bulk of this team and it has worked well here."

|Randy Moss returns to New England and has quick impact with touchdown grab
|12.17.12 at 2:38 am ET
FOXBORO — It didn't take very long for former Patriots receiver Randy Moss to make an impact on Sunday night. Moss, who started in place of the injured Mario Manningham and played opposite Michael Crabtree, drew the coverage of rookie cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.
Moss caught a 12-yard strike from 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick on San Francisco's third offensive play from scrimmage, and put the first score on the board three plays later. Moss was able to get behind Dennard down the left sideline, while Kaepernick lofted an easy 24-yard pass over the top of the Patriots defense.
It was Moss' third touchdown catch of the year, and his first since the 49ers' Week 8 matchup with the Cardinals on Oct. 29.
Moss' ability to take the top off an opposing defense has stood out throughout his career, and on Sunday night, against his former team with whom he set records aplenty, Moss contributed in signature form. In doing so, he exposed an issue that has afflicted New England at different points throughout 2012.
Coming off of a game where the Patriots dominated so thoroughly on Monday night, the problems that had plagued this defensive secondary seemed to fall by the wayside until Moss opened up the scoring on the long play.
Moss declined to comment after the game on Sunday night; instead, he left his locker soon after the game had ended. He did tweet out at roughly 1:30 a.m., 'The game is over!!i don't wanna talk bout Tht.'
He was targeted two more times on the night, but did not pull in another pass after the first offensive possession for the 49ers.
Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo said that as a whole his team wasn't very surprised by the play of Kaepernick and his ability to make the throws that he did.
'We knew [Kaepernick] could throw the ball from watching film,' Mayo said. 'We didn't know is they were going to throw it or not because it was raining a bit. But they came out and threw the ball, scored on us early. Like you said earlier, we fought back, but it wasn't enough.'
When Dennard went down late in the second quarter with a knee injury, the Patriots applied a different scheme to cover Moss, with a combination of Kyle Arrington, Aqib Talib and safeties making sure the veteran receiver was accounted for.
Despite not having another catch after the first quarter, Moss was the second-leading San Francisco receiver, with 36 yards total on the night.

Sir Jonathan has sought to confound his critics by taking a sideways look at the ideas of independence and nationhood in a line-up that includes historical plays about medieval Scotland - the much-anticipated Rona Munro plays concerning the lives of James I, II and III - art installations about racism and colonialism, and ruminations on war and conflict.
He has done what an artistic director ought to do, and presented us with a programme that is controversial, eclectic and full of talking points.
During his tenure, he has consolidated the EIF's position as the world's foremost arts festival. And crucially, his successor, Fergus Linehan, inherits an organisation that is in robust financial health.

So Christina Aguilera tested the waters and let her weight take over juuust until right before people were starting to make rude remarks about her waistline, and now it appears she's dropped a few. I didn't think she looked bad even at her heaviest, but she was putting on the pounds rather rapidly. Thank goodness she had the will power to turn the tables and surprise us. I remember a while back, Kelly Brook was getting some smack talked on her for fluctuating similarly. I'm going to start calling women who consistently do this "pufferfish hotties". Makes sense. Christina's shirt looks like it's gotten some hole torn through it. I love the fact that an ex-Mouseketeer split Mickey's head straight in half in order to show off some extra cleavage. Oh well, at least it was for a good cause, right?

Worker, 35, Killed By Wildcat at Sanctuary in Portland, Oregon
A 35-year-old woman has been killed at the WildCat Haven in Portland, Ore., which houses more than 60 wildcats, including cougars and tigers, that have been abused or abandoned.
PORTLAND, Ore.— Authorities say an employee is dead following an attack by a wildcat at an animal sanctuary in suburban Portland.
Sgt. Robert Wurpes of the Clackamas County Sheriff's office says the attack was reported Saturday night at WildCat Haven in Sherwood.
He says the animal involved was a large cat that was locked in a cage following the attack.
Wurpes declined to release any details on the victim, how the attack occurred or the type of animal. He says more information will be available Sunday.
The Oregonian reports that fire officials identified the victim as a 35-year-old woman.
WildCat Haven officials did not immediately respond to a telephone message left early Sunday.
Its website describes the facility as a "last hope" for more than 60 wildcats that have been abandoned or abused, including bobcats, cougars, lynx and tigers.
The facility is not open to the public, but does provide on-site tours to donors.

I have a problem with women that do not allow father to raise their children (I will get off my soapbox now:-). I love to laugh and tell jokes and there is nothing more attractive than a funny man that does not take life too seriously. I am looking for friendship and see where things go. I am looking for a man that is a Christian, honest, mature, funny, and knows what he wants out of life. I am looking for a man that has already accomplished something in life because I have. At the end of the day its always great to meet new people and develop friendships.

In Interlochen, Michigan
First, let me apologize for the slow first post. We had difficulty finding internet on our first night.
Finally the day has come! I awoke early this morning, anxious to get on the road. We had a set time to meet at 10am in Imlay City, Michigan, so I didnt leave till 8am. Thankfully, the overnight rain storm passed so I only had to use the lower half of my rain suit to start.
We found out last minute that Toms buddy Joe was able to join us for the first night. Here is Tom and Joe getting ready to go
The bulk of the day was planned to be on the super-slab. Not much in the way of interesting things to see between London and Sarnia so I took highway 402.
I made it to Sarnia and crossed into the the US over the Blue Water Bridge
One thing that I always notice as the main difference between US highways and Canadian ones is that the US ones have so many more billboards
We both arrived at the Tim Hortons in Imlay City right at 10am.
More superslab- I-69 to I-75 then to M-10. Traffic was heavy as it is the 4th of July and going north is the states pastime.
We finally made our way into the north country- you can see the landscape change.
We arrived in the late afternoon around 4pm at Cycle-More, a motorcycle campground in Interlochen.
This is a haven for motorcyclists. The owner greats you personally and invites you to look around his small museum. It is really more of a collection of old bikes piled into a small room. Impressive to see all these rare bikes
Especially this tike that they are currently working on. The engine is still in the back
Nice campground dedicated to bikers. Just find your own campsite, $7 per person. Cheap wood, clean hot showers, and free ice cream!
We then headed for a supper, bbq chicken for me. Maddy's US 31, just outside of the campground to the East. Excellent find!
Then just a night of Tom and Joe reminiscing around the campfire (they go way back). Total mileage for Tom was 281, I was more like 320

sometimes you do it fast, sometimes you do it slow, it depends on how, when, why, what mood you're in, the list goes on and on and on.
do you really think that a girl will want to do it and only want to do it fast every single time for her entire life? and same with doing it slow? or anywhere in between?

It hasn't been the best of weeks for Toni Braxton.
The soulful singer confirmed rumors she was hospitalized via her Twitter and Facebook page, but reassured fans that she's perfectly "fine."
So what happened?
READ: So True? So False? Is Toni Braxton Really Dating a Much Younger Guy?!
"Hey guys! I'm sure you've heard rumors about me being in the hospital, they are in fact, true. I've been here since Monday but I am fine!" she tweeted earlier today.
"Just a lupus flare up, but I promise you all I am ok! Love you all! Thanks so much for all of your support! Xoxoxoxoxo :)"
Braxton announced to the public at a lupus awareness and research luncheon in November 2010 that she was battling the autoimmune disease, saying, "This is what lupus looks like."
The Braxton Family Values star also gained recognition and praise from Lady Gaga, who tested borderline positive for lupus. The "Marry the Night" singer wrote a message to Braxton, saying, "Toni, your strength is admirable. As a woman whose family has been affected by lupus, I understand your struggle and have you in my thoughts. —Gaga."

The history of fracking
1860s: Liquid first used to stimulate shallow, hard rock wells in Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky and West Virginia.
1930s: Idea of injecting a nonexplosive fluid into the ground to stimulate a well began to be attempted.
1947: Hydraulic fracturing introduced by Stanolind Oil.
1976: The Department of Energy launches the Eastern Gas Shales Project, a joint research project among state, federal and private industrial organizations to research "unconventional" natural gas resources.
1980s: Horizontal drilling first combined with hydraulic fracturing in a frack job in north Texas.
1986: As part of an early federal effort to investigate new methods of extracting natural gas, the Department of Energy sponsors the drilling of 2,000-foot horizontal well in the Devonian Shales of Wayne County, W.Va.
1998: Present-day form of hydraulic fracturing is first used in the Barnett Shale in Texas. Formerly inaccessible gas reservoirs are now open for fracking.
June 2004: EPA report says fracking fluids are toxic and that some portion of these toxic fluids remain in the ground after a frack job. However, the report concludes "injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids into coal bed methane wells poses "little or no threat" to drinking water supplies.
August 2005: Congress passes a law prohibiting the EPA from regulating fracking under the Safe Drinking Water Act. In most other cases the law dictates what chemicals can be injected underground.
June 2009: U.S. House of Representatives introduces the Fracking Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act to repeal fracking's exemption from the SDWA. The act never came to a vote.
February 2010: The House Committee on Energy and Commerce launches an investigation into the potential environmental and health impacts of fracking.
November 2011: By request of the U.S. Congress, the EPA issues a Plan to Study the Potential Impacts of Hydraulic Fracturing on Drinking Water Resources, to be completed by 2014.

In late August 2001, when aggressive presidential action might have changed the course of U.S. history, CIA Director George Tenet made a special trip to Crawford, Texas, to get George W. Bush to focus on an imminent threat of a spectacular al-Qaeda attack only to have the conversation descend into meaningless small talk.
Alarmed CIA officials already had held an extraordinary meeting with then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice on July 10 to lay out the accumulating evidence of an impending attack and had delivered on Aug. 6 a special "Presidential Daily Brief" to Bush entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US."
"A few weeks after the Aug. 6 PDB was delivered, I followed it to Crawford to make sure the President stayed current on events," Tenet wrote in his memoir, At the Center of the Storm. "This was my first visit to the ranch. I remember the President graciously driving me around the spread in his pickup and my trying to make small talk about the flora and the fauna, none of which were native to Queens," where Tenet had grown up.
Tenet's trip to Crawford — like the July 10 meeting with Rice and the Aug. 6 briefing paper for Bush — failed to shock the administration out of its lethargy nor elicit the emergency steps that the CIA and other counterterrorism specialists wanted.
While Tenet and Bush made small talk about "the flora and the fauna," al-Qaeda operatives put the finishing touches on their plans.…Continue reading
September 11, 2001: The French Knew Much About It
By Guillaume Dasquié
Le Monde
Monday 16 April 2004
It's an impressive mass of documents. From a distance, one would imagine a doctoral thesis. On closer inspection: nothing of the kind. Red stamps "Confidential-Defense" and "Strictly National Usage" on every page. At the top on the left, a royal blue logo: that of the DGSE, Direction générale des services extérieurs [General Directorate for Foreign Services], the French secret services. In total, 328 classified pages. Notes, reports, syntheses and summaries, maps, graphs, organization charts, satellite photos. All exclusively devoted to al-Qaeda, its leaders, its seconds-in-command, its hide-outs and training camps. Also to its financial supports. Nothing less than the fundamentals of the DGSE reports compiled between July 2000 and October 2001. A veritable encyclopedia.
At the end of several months of investigation of this very special documentation, we contacted DGSE headquarters. And on April 3, the present chief of staff, Emmanuel Renoult, received us there, within the confines of the Tourelles garrison in Paris. After thumbing through the 328 pages that we set on his desk, he can't keep himself from deploring such a leak, all the while allowing us to understand that the packet represents virtually the entirety of DGSE production on the subject for this crucial period. On the other hand, it was impossible to draw the least comment from him on the substance of the material. Too sensitive.
It's true that these secret services chronicles about al-Qaeda, with their various revelations, raise many questions.…Continue reading

Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts
by The Editors of Popular Mechanics (Author), John McCain (Foreword), David Dunbar (Editor), Brad Reagan (Editor)
Publisher: Hearst (August 15, 2006)
Maybe the life of the nation is at stake, and maybe it isn't. Maybe this is a time of unprecedented tyranny, and maybe it is simply what was just out of view on the same road we have been traveling for the last seventy years. Maybe this was a sea change and a quantum leap, or maybe it was neither. Regardless of the proper description of the event and this time in history, 9/11 has become an opportunity for enormous hope, great change, and an entirely new perspective.
Whether one is inclined to indulge, or even consider, the theoretical justifications for the massacre of 9/11 (the need to awaken a sleeping nation to the requirements of global hegemony), or not, the nature of the act and its perpetrators are matters of importance from every conceivable standpoint. The progress of the debate about that nature and those perpetrators has been enhanced by Debunking 9/11 Myths, edited by David Dunbar and Brad Reagan of Popular Mechanics magazine. Maybe not in ways the writers had hoped.
To the world at large, to the hungry masses yearning for points to be refuted or sustained, answers given, questions acknowledged if not answered, the appearance of a book by the mainstream which purports to establish, as the subtitle declares, "… Continue reading

When Matthew Rothschild, editor of the online magazine The Progressive, wrote an article called "Enough of the 9/11 Conspiracies, Already", we all knew he was not talking about the conspiracy theory that the US government sells us to justify the expanding 9/11 Wars.[1] To the contrary, in writing that article Mr. Rothschild was selling that same theory himself. What he actually meant was that people should not question the US government's story of terror because credentialed experts have been found to support it. But the fact is that the experts found to support the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 are predominantly those who profit from doing so. That's not to say that all of these people were "part of the conspiracy". But they are, whether consciously or not, a part of the cover-up. And that, of course, is the greater crime.
The Bush Administration employed a number of such credentialed experts to give us multiple explanations for the unprecedented destruction of three tall steel-framed buildings at the World Trade Center (WTC). Unfortunately, all of those explanations have proven to be false, and this fact reminds us that academic credentials don't necessarily make a person more capable, or more likely, to tell the truth.
Exactly how they could find so many experts on the fire-induced collapse of tall buildings is not immediately clear, considering such an event had never happened before. But it did help that the questions were quickly framed as being… Continue reading

The Summary
BBC World News started reporting that 7 World Trade Center had collapsed about 23 minutes before the building actually came down, as video of the news network's live broadcast on September 11th shows.
The skyscraper also known as the Salomon Brothers Building was still standing and clearly visible over the shoulder of a BBC reporter in New York, even as the network provided accurate, past- tense details of its collapse. Jane Standley's live report was interrupted about five minutes before WTC 7 actually came down at 5:20pm EDT. A video clip establishing this anomaly was discovered on the archive.org news service and first pointed out to the public Monday by the blog writer 911veritas at 911blogger.com .
The ensuing controversy has prompted a swift, unusually angry response from the BBC, which however has failed to address the substantive issue: Apparently the network's personnel were unfamiliar with WTC 7, which is excusable. They were however reporting information culled from a source with advance knowledge of the building's collapse. Who was that source?
The answer may be essential to settling the long-standing dispute over… Continue reading

The Hidden History of 9-11-2001
Research in Political Economy
2006 Volume 23.
Ed. by Paul Zarembka
Governments have long found it useful to manufacture rationale for pursuing war and repression. The sinking of the Battleship Maine at the outset of the Spanish-American-Cuba War is the classic example. When President Harry Truman wanted to offer assistance to anti-Communist forces in Greece and Turkey in 1947, Republican senator Arthur Vandenburg promised his support if Truman would "scare the hell out of the American people." In 1962, the Pentagon mounted Operation Northwoods, a plan involving false-flag actions, state-sponsored terrorism and the hijacking of planes on U.S. and Cuban soil designed to generate American public support for an invasion of Cuba. Then there was the case of the distraught young Iraqi woman testifying before U.S. Congressional hearings in the run-up to Gulf War I about babies being tossed out of incubators by Saddam Hussein's soldiers.
The essays included in The Hidden History of 9-11-2001 lead to the conclusion that the attack on the World Trade Center may have been the biggest false-flag operation of them all. This 2006 issue of Research in Political Economy examines different aspects of 9-11, which, taken together, provide a serious challenge to those who dismiss the possibility that a government-based conspiracy was behind the events of 9-11.
The first section of the journal debunks the information provided by the U.S. government about the number and identity of the hijackers. Following that, other authors provide evidence indicating that it was impossible for the burning jet fuel from the planes to have caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers; that a series of military war games taking place on 9-11 caused confusion in military circles and prevented normal emergency response operations to kick in; and that the insider trading in the shares of the airlines that were hijacked that day lays open the possibility that huge sums were made by people who were aware in advance of what was coming.…Continue reading
Published today, 12/18/06, in New York Megaphone, print run: 40,000, circulation: 66,700, NYC and Environs
by Sander Hicks
Daniel Hopsicker is an independent journalist working in Venice, Florida, outside the decommissioned military airstrips where three pilots from the 9/11 attack were trained. Hopsicker found the secret life of 9/11 ring-leader Mohamed Atta, who lead the operation by piloting the first plane into the World Trade Centre. Hopsicker found Atta's American girlfriend, Amanda Keller. What she said broke new ground for truth-seekers worldwide. Atta had social connections and a party-boy life that indicated there was more to his story than people had been told. The American media establishment turned a blind eye to Hopsicker's work, however. He has been called a "conspiracy theorist" in mainstream media in Florida, when he's paid any attention at all.
Yet, in November, 2006, Hopsicker's career turned a corner. Sources connected to the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) told The Megaphone that his work began to be used to track Atta's former associates. A researcher close to JTTF, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Megaphone that the "JTTF relied heavily on Daniel's research on Atta and Amanda [Keller]. I faxed them pages from [Hopsicker's book] Welcome to Terrorland."
The lead paid off: on November 16, 2006, the Joint Terrorism Task Force issued a "Terror Alert" for a certain Wolfgang Bohringer, a German-born, naturalized U.S. citizen who had reportedly partied with and protected Mohamed Atta in Florida. Bohringer's name came up often in interviews with Amanda Keller.…Continue reading
Allegations Brought to Inspectors General
By Dan Eggen
Washington Post Staff Writer
Some staff members and commissioners of the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection of the fog of events on that day, according to sources involved in the debate.
Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.
In the end, the panel agreed to a compromise, turning over the allegations to the inspectors general for the Defense and Transportation departments, who can make criminal referrals if they believe they are warranted, officials said.
"We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the truth. . . . It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."
By Matthew Everett
Since 9/11, numerous authors and researchers have drawn attention to training exercises being conducted or prepared for by the U.S. military and other government agencies at the time of the September 11 attacks. With names like Vigilant Guardian, Global Guardian, Timely Alert II, and Tripod, the question has arisen as to what connection these drills might have had with real-world events that morning.[1]
Attention has also been drawn to exercises held prior to 9/11, often bearing an uncanny resemblance to the actual attacks. For example, soon after 9/11 the New Yorker reported: "During the last several years, the government regularly planned for and simulated terrorist attacks, including scenarios that involved multiple-plane hijackings."[2] USA Today reported: "In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating … hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties. One of the imagined targets was the World Trade Center."[3]
As I will show in this essay, exercises also took place that bore a chilling resemblance to the… Continue reading

New York Daily News
The feds bungled a key opportunity to possibly nix the 9/11 terror plot, it was reported yesterday.
An Arabic-speaking FBI agent had requested information about a Jan. 5, 2000, Al Qaeda meeting in Malaysia, but the CIA never turned it over, The New Yorker reported.
The ambitious FBI detective, Ali Soufan, was so upset when he eventually got the information – after 9/11 – that he vomited.
Soufan, who had been investigating the 2000 attack on the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole that killed 17 sailors, realized the two plots were linked.
"And if the CIA had not withheld information from him he likely would have drawn the connection months before Sept. 11," The New Yorker reported. The intelligence Soufan had sought showed that a one-legged jihadi named Khallad – a key Al Qaeda lieutenant linked to the Cole bombing – had attended the Malaysia meeting where the Sept. 11 plot was hatched.
According to the magazine, the CIA also learned in March 2000 that Al Qaeda operative Nawaf Alhazmi was in the United States, but the CIA never alerted the FBI. Alhazmi ended up on the American Airlines flight that crashed into the Pentagon.
The CIA may not have told the FBI about Alhazmi and another Qaeda operative, Khalid… Continue reading

NINE-ONE-ONE — This three number combination is etched into the public psyche and instantly conjures up images of America's most recent Day of Infamy. The images of chaos and terror were speedily delivered via satellite to anyone near a television set. At first, these images burst into the minds of the TV audience without context, but television viewers were not left long to worry their beautiful minds with troublesome questions like: "Who perpetrated these crimes?"
The narrative vacuum was quickly filled by the "official" story. This version of the events of 9/11 is forever enshrined in the volume known as The 9/11 Commission Report.
Proceeding apace with the development of the official story was an entire universe of unofficial stories. These alternative points of view were helpfully framed by President George Walker Bush on November 10th, 2001:
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty." (1)
More than a few watching the President address the UN that day were puzzled by the phrase "outrageous conspiracy theories" regarding 9/11. As they logged on to their dial-up Internet connections that evening, trying to understand what the President was talking about, they were privy to the nascent chatter that over time has morphed into a kaleidoscope of alternative narratives, fueled by 9/11 skepticism.
As new… Continue reading
Courtesy of The Muckraker Report
This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Usama Bin Laden.[ 1 ] (See bottom of this web page for Most Wanted page) In the e-mail, the question is asked, "Why doesn't Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?" The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Usama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for "wanting" Bin Laden by saying, "In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world."
On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence… Continue reading

– 911Truth.org urges 2006 reform candidates to recognize a powerful new constituency.
(Utica, NY) – Although the Bush administration continues to exploit September 11 to justify domestic spying, unprecedented spending and a permanent state of war, a new Zogby poll reveals that less than half of the American public trusts the official 9/11 story or believes the attacks were adequately investigated.
The poll is the first scientific survey of Americans' belief in a 9/11 cover up or the need to investigate possible US government complicity, and was commissioned to inform deliberations at the June 2-4 "9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future" conference in Chicago. Poll results indicate 42% believe there has indeed been a cover up (with 10% unsure) and 45% think "Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks, including whether any US government officials consciously allowed or helped facilitate their success" (with 8% unsure). The poll of American residents was conducted from Friday, May 12 through Tuesday, May 16, 2006. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/- 2.9. All inquiries about questions, responses and demographics should be directed to Zogby International.
According to Janice Matthews, executive director of 911truth.org, "To those who have followed the mounting evidence for US government involvement in 9/11, these… Continue reading
Survey Methodology:This is a telephone survey of adults nationwide conducted by Zogby International. The target sample is 1,200 interviews with approximately 81 questions asked. Samples are randomly drawn from telephone cd's of national listed sample. Zogby International surveys employ sampling strategies in which selection probabilities are proportional to population size within area codes and exchanges. As many as six calls are made to reach a sampled phone number. Cooperation rates are calculated using one of AAPOR's approved methodologies and are comparable to other professional public-opinion surveys conducted using similar sampling strategies. Weighting by region, party, age, race, religion, and gender is used to adjust for non-response. The margin of error is +/- 2.9 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.
Zogby International's sampling and weighting procedures also have been validated through its political polling: more than 95% of the firm's polls have come within 1% of actual election-day outcomes.

A Call for Unity in the 9/11 Truth Community
By: John J. Albanese
Stand with me. Today's editorial is a shameless plea for unity and support. Time is short. Today's headlines relentlessly warn us of a pending nuclear crisis, and the deafening drumbeats of war, and the inevitable clash of civilizations that threatens to devour us whole. Never mind that the rhetoric swirling around the Iran crisis mimics the rhetoric that swirled around the debacle in Iraq. Never mind that the facts are being skewed once again. American foreign policy appears to be executing a full-court press to conflict and oblivion.
And at the bottom of this rubble-heap of American foreign policy lies the all but forgotten truth and hidden history behind the worst terrorist attacks in American history.
"We will never forget," we all vowed after 9/11. And we meant it. But sadly, 4 ? years after the fact, 9/11 has already become commercialized, dramatized and fictionalized by such Hollywood confections as Universal Studio's "United 93″ and Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center." And while we can debate endlessly the degree of historical accuracy of these films, Hollywood has, for all intents and purposes, turned the tragedy of 9/11 into entertainment for the masses, and has tread upon our sacred vows.
But there are those among us who know that something is seriously wrong. From the start, there are those among us who were not satisfied to simply put their trust in the 'official story.' There are those among… Continue reading

Planes hit the towers 4 years, 6 months and 22 days ago.
And the story still hasn't quite been told.
Please, will someone explain to me why all this time later, we are still struggling to fill all these blanks?
Today, we will get a few more details from that horrendous morning so long ago; one-sided conversations with 911 dispatchers in the first frantic moments after the terror attacks. We almost didn't get this much. Were it not for Sally Regenhard and the determined efforts of a few other relatives of the men and women killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, we'd be guessing about even more.
Regenhard lost a son, Christian, a probie-firefighter in Brooklyn, and she has a straightforward approach to 9/11 analysis: She really would like to know the truth.
"This is a record," she told my Newsday colleague Samuel Bruchey with her usual, eloquent succinctness. "This is information."
What choice does any of us have but to confront it?
And even now, this clear-eyed mother frets. "What we're getting is only half of the truth, half of the story," she said. "Only a mother could listen to recordings and maybe hear some glimmer of your child's voice, even though his name may have been garbled."
Now some parts of the story of Sept. 11, 2001, may never be fully told. The twisted motives of hijackers. The geopolitics of it all. The never-ending strategizing over how America and the world should… Continue reading

"Already there is near-consensus as to the sequence of events that led to the collapse of the World Trade Center."–Shankar Nair, as quoted in the Chicago Tribune, September 19, 2001
Turn on C-Span, or "Meet The Press," or any other media program presenting federal officials. Whatever the issue, it always comes back to the same thing. Our government really has nothing else to offer us but protection from another 9/11. It uses this painful story to cut public services, eliminate our basic rights, and plunder the national coffers.
