President Bush is at the Helm of an Administration that Won't Stop Lying
Paul Craig Roberts
The Bush Regime has killed tens of thousands of people in Iraq and Afghanistan, mainly women and children. The deaths are excused as unintended "collateral damage" of the ongoing war, but the deaths are nonetheless important to the tens of thousands of relatives and friends. An equally important casualty of the Bush Regime is truth. The American public has been trained to obediently accept their government's lies fed to them by their government's handmaiden, the US Media. No statement or claim by a Bush Regime Official is too outlandish to be received with acceptance. Consider the claim by Donald Rumsfeld, the US Secretary for War and Aggression, made to the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee on May 17, that Iran was to blame for the instability in Iraq.
Did the senators laugh Rumsfeld out of the room? No.
Did the media remind the "informed public" that it was actually the US invasion and unsuccessful occupation, together with mass detentions, torture, slaughter of citizens and invasions of their homes, destruction of infrastructure and entire cities, such as Fallujah, and removal of Saddam Hussein's government, which kept the three Iraqi factions from each other's throats, that destabilized Iraq?…Continue reading
By Paul Craig Roberts
I was in China when a July Harris Poll reported that 50 percent of Americans still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when Bush invaded that country, and that 64 percent of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links with Al Qaeda.
The Chinese leaders and intellectuals with whom I was meeting were incredulous. How could a majority of the population in an allegedly free country with an allegedly free press be so totally misinformed?
The only answer I could give the Chinese is that Americans would have been the perfect population for Mao and the Gang of Four, because Americans believe anything their government tells them.
Americans never check any facts. Who do you know, for example, who has even read the Report of the 9/11 Commission, much less checked the alleged facts reported in that document. I can answer for you. You don't know anyone who has read the report or checked the facts.
The two co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission Report, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, have just released a new book, "Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission." Kean and Hamilton reveal that the commission suppressed the fact that Muslim ire toward the US is due to US support for Israel's persecution and dispossession of the Palestinians, not to our "freedom and democracy" as Bush propagandistically claims. Kean and Hamilton also reveal that the US military committed perjury and lied about its failure to intercept the hijacked airliners.…Continue reading
Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11
by Bill Christison
However horrendous the crimes of two of the world's great liars and terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon, it is imperative that we not let the deeds of Ehud Olmert and George W. Bush distract us from another recent event.
The U.S. alliance with Israel and the power of the lobby that lets Israel so easily influence U.S. foreign policy have been major factors in allowing the monstrous slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. What is happening in these lands may also encourage Olmert and Bush to start new hostilities in Syria and heavy, possibly nuclear, bombings in Iran — and this entire mess of neocon pottage may lead to a new World War and clashes of civilizations and religious fundamentalisms that these two wretched politicians seem quite literally to want to impose on the rest of us. It's a tough case to make that anything else going on in the world — anywhere — could possibly be of equal importance.
But on July 29 and 30, and then again on August 1, something else happened that increasing numbers of people believe is of equal importance. On these dates C-SPAN rebroadcast a panel discussion, held originally in late June, sponsored by an organization called the American Scholars' Symposium to discuss what really happened on September 11, 2001. Held in Los Angeles, the meeting lasted two days, and the C-SPAN rebroadcast covered one almost two-hour wrap-up session. The meeting was attended by 1,200 people interested in hearing something other than the official story of 9/11.…Continue reading
Is The Official Story Falling Apart? Or Are We Seeing An Un-Controlled Demolition?
– CNN, Westminster John Knox Press, Air America help move the story along
Guest blogged by Winter Patriot
In the past few weeks the 9/11 Truth Movement has continued to move forward, propelled by a gentle nudge from a mainstream news source, a solid bump from the publishing arm of a major American church, and a full-fledged jolt from Air America.
The Nudge: CNN's Lou Dobbs Wakes Up To 9/11 Lies
In this short clip, Lou discusses the new book Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission, written by 9/11 Commission co-chairmen Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton, who claim that the commission was lied to, not once but consistently, by the FAA and NORAD.
… Continue reading
Among other comments, you will hear the following from Lou Dobbs: Well, this government doesn't deserve much credibility, does it? In point of fact, if all of the after-action reports are untrue, for whatever reason, that's a lie, because they were asserted as true by people who knew better, or should have.
Incompetence and ineptitude on the part of this government, on September 11th and in the weeks and months leading up to it, are established.
By Paul Craig Roberts
"Information Clearing House" — — I received a number of intelligent responses from readers of my August 14 column, "Gullible Americans," The letters deserve a reply. Moreover, some contain important points that should be shared with a wider audience. Pundits such as myself are not the only people who have interesting things to say. Considering the number of letters and the time it would require to respond individually, I am replying instead in this column.
Most readers from whom I heard understand the difference between loyalty to country and loyalty to a government. They understand that to support a political party or a government that is destroying the US Constitution and America's reputation in the world is, in fact, an act of treason. Therefore, I did not have to read the usual drivel about how doubting "our government" is un-American.
Among the issues raised are:
How could the complicity of the US government, or some part of it, in the events of 9/11 be kept a secret? For the most part, this question comes from Americans who believe the government must have been, to some extent, complicit in the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon.
How can we differentiate between the real facts, the 9/11 Commission's reporting of the facts, and "conspiracy theories"?
What about the role of suicide flyers led by M. Atta?
What about the Popular Mechanics article and the TV documentary that debunk the skeptics and support… Continue reading

"First they came for the terrorists but I wasn't a terrorist so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those suspected of terrorism, but I certainly wasn't a suspect so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then they came for those who defended those who were suspected of terrorism, but I wasn't defending such people so I stayed silent and went about my business. Then, one day, they came and began to "suspect" me, so I stayed very, very silent and went about my business.
And that is how I lost my soul."
You can feel it in the air: many of us are living in the fear that we are one "bad event" away from this administration seizing power over the people in such a way that we will find ourselves swept up in a nightmare of tyranny such as we've never seen before.
Others before us have also lived in such times. Others before us have also witnessed the tyranny of empire, the fear it unleashes, and the trance it imposes on its population. There is a story in the Gospel of Mark (this Sunday I'll be preaching about it) that has Jesus encountering a man in a graveyard, chained to the tombs and possessed by a powerful demon that has caused the man to become violent, insane, and out of control. The name of the demon is Legion, a military term that… Continue reading
video at youtube, and this new one, combined with these
pictures (note the shoe comparison on images 49 and 50), make a compelling
case that the masked men at the SPP protest in Montebello, QC last week were in fact police agent provocateurs (which Canadian police now admit is accurate).
The true protesters quickly figured out who they were, and the bizarre behavior
of the supposed 'anarchists' (shuffling toward, not away from, the police line
once suspicions about their identities were made, the discussion one seems to
behaving with police before they were apprehended, and of course the amazing
coincidence of the fact that these anarchists and the police happen to be wearing
identical boots, right down to the tread patterns and company logo) make any
other conclusion difficult to make.
This is what your government (and the Canadian government) thinks of you. It
has no respect for democratic institutions. It is happy to create the false
impression that protesters are violent, so that the crack-down on that violence
further consolidates their power.
You are not a citizen. You are a subject. At least in their eyes.

Osama bin Laden organized the 9/11 attacks right?
Not according to the FBI, or the White House, or the Justice Department.
What is implied on TV is very different from the actual actions the US government
has taken in "pursuit" of the 9/11 conspirators.
Six years later, the US has filed no charges, presented no evidence and in
fact is not even seeking Bin Laden in connection with the crime!

The government has yet to properly explain why our generation's Pearl Harbor, 9/11, is never mentioned on the FBI's Most Wanted poster of suspected mastermind Usama (Osama) Bin Laden. Reporter Jeff Ferrell, who recently broke the story on Homeland Security's "Clergy Response Team" To Quell Public Dissent During Martial Law, investigates what on the surface seems to be a simple question: Why no mention of 9/11. The answers, or lack of them, are anything but simple.

9-11, Six Years Later
By Paul Craig Roberts
On Sept. 7, National Public Radio reported that Muslims in the Middle East were beginning to believe that the 9/11 attacks on the WTC and Pentagon were false flag operations committed by some part of the U.S. and/or Israeli government.
It was beyond the imagination of the NPR reporter and producer that there could be any substance to these beliefs, which were attributed to the influence of books by U.S. and European authors sold in bookstores in Egypt.
NPR's concern was that books by Western authors questioning the origin of the 9/11 attack have the undesirable result of removing guilt from Muslims' shoulders.
The NPR reporter, Ursula Lindsey, said that "here in the U.S., most people have little doubt about what happened during the 2001 attacks."
NPR's assumption that the official 9/11 story is the final word is uninformed. Polls show that 36 percent of Americans and more than 50 percent of New Yorkers lack confidence in the 9/11 commission report. Many 9/11 families who lost relatives in the attacks are unsatisfied with the official story. Why are the U.S. media untroubled that there has been no independent investigation of 9/11?
Why are the media unconcerned that the rules governing preservation of forensic evidence were not followed by federal authorities?
Why do the media brand skeptics of the official line "conspiracy theorists" and "kooks"?
What is wrong with debate and listening to both… Continue reading

McKinney: 9/11 'Talking Points' Urged Congress Say, 'They Hate our Freedom'
Friday, October 05, 2007
In a recent speech in Arizona, former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney blasted
the administration's handling of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and claimed
that talking points urged representatives to tell constituents that the terrorists
"hate our freedom."
The charge is noteworthy, even shocking, because it shows that the administration
had apparently resolved to use the tragedy to shape national consciousness in
a particular way. The administration's response, if McKinney is to be believed,
smacks of political opportunism – even propaganda.
McKinney made the charge during a speech on at the First Christian Church in
Tuscon, AZ. Her speech and the comment itself was reported by a student newspaper,
The Wildcat Online. The article quoted her as saying: "How in
the world can we sustain the injuries from Sept. 11th and not even ask any questions
about what happened that day?"
Source URL: FreeMarketNews.com
Editor's Comment: Readers will recall McKinney's amazing display of courage and integrity while clearly, directly questioning Rumsfeld in March '05, about DynCorp's slave trade, the Pentagon's missing trillions, and the 9/11 wargames:

Concerning the graduated repression of the Nazi regime, the Reverend Martin Niemoller, in 1945, stated, to the effect:
First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up, because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
Though this quote has taken on many forms and endured several disputes, the ultimate interpretation stands. That silence about liberty infractions equals civil death.
Further, on the notion of leading the public headstrong into oblivion, the Nazis said it best:
"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia , nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany . That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." Hermann Goering, 1946… Continue reading

These explosive and revealing comments about 9/11 have been completely ignored by the Mainstream Media. While talking about the 9/11 commission, 9/11 family member Patty Casazza reveals that FBI translator and whistleblower Sibel Edmonds had incriminating insider information about the 9/11 attacks:
The Government knew… other than the exact moment… they knew the date, and the method of which the attacks were supposed to come … And none of this made it to mainstream media. None of it made it into the Commission.
And yet, again, all of your Representatives, on the day that the Commission book came out, were on their pulpits saying, "What a fabulous job this Commission has done. A real service to this nation." And it was anything but a service. It was a complete fabrication.
Family member Patty Casazza is not alone in her belief that we do not have the whole truth about 9/11 .
The lack of Mainstream news coverage of these views is very apparent. Fox News in a secret memo implicitly admits that there is a problem with the 'official story' of 9/11:
"The so-called 9/11 Commission has already been meeting. In fact, this is its eighth session. The fact that former Clinton and both former and current Bush administration officials are testifying gives it a certain tension, but this is not ' what did he know and when did he know it' stuff. Don't turn this into Watergate."
In fact, a similar… Continue reading
DANIEL ELLSBERG: Covering Up the Coverage – The American Media's Complicit Failure to Investigate and Report on the Sibel Edmonds Case
In an Exclusive BRAD BLOG Op-Ed, the Legendary 'Pentagon Papers' Whistleblower Calls on the Media to Perform Their First Amendment Obligations, on Congressional Leaders to Perform Their Oversight Duty, and for Insider Sources to Come Forward to the American Public…
— Guest BRAD BLOG Op-Ed by Daniel Ellsberg
For the second time in two weeks, the entire U.S. press has let itself be scooped by Rupert Murdoch's London Sunday Times on a dynamite story of criminal activities by corrupt U.S. officials promoting nuclear proliferation. But there is a worse journalistic sin than being scooped, and that is participating in a cover-up of information that demands urgent attention from the public, the U.S. Congress and the courts.
For the last two weeks — one could say, for years — the major American media have been guilty of ignoring entirely the allegations of the courageous and highly credible source Sibel Edmonds, quoted in the London Times on January 6, 2008 in a front-page story that was front-page news in much of the rest of the world but was not reported in a single American newspaper or network. It is up to readers to demand that this culpable silent treatment end.
Just as important, there must be pressure by the public on Congressional committee chairpersons, in particular Representative Henry Waxman and Senator Patrick Leahy. Both have been sitting for years on classified,… Continue reading

Sibel Edmonds is the FBI translator turned whistleblower who decided to go public late in 2002 and has been seeking to tell her story about high level corruption in the United States government involving Turkey and Israel. What makes her story particularly compelling is that the corruption relates to the theft and sale of United States defense secrets, most particularly nuclear technology. Sibel obtained her information while translating Turkish language telephone intercepts directed against several Turkish lobbying groups who had contact with senior officials in the Bush Administration, both at the Pentagon and in the State Department. Many of the officials involved are apparently the same neoconservatives who cooked the books to enable the rush to war against Iraq and who are continuing to urge more wars in the Middle East, most notably against Iran and Syria. Several of them are close allies of leading Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
To stop Sibel from telling her story, then Attorney General John Ashcroft subjected her to a state secrets privilege gag order after her appearance on CBS's 60 Minutes in October 2002 that not only forbade her providing details of her employment with FBI but also made the ban retroactive so that anything relating to her case would be considered a state secret. Edmonds had been discouraged by her experience with CBS as her most important points wound up on the cutting room floor. Then came the gag order, which she has observed while working assiduously to get… Continue reading

Hamilton's carefully honed skill for balancing truth against political comity has elevated him to the status of a Washington Wise Man. In this guest essay, however, Jerry Meldon suggests that attendees at a Tufts conference on the Middle East might want to ask Hamilton about his past compromises with history.
(Plus, at the end of the essay, you may want to read an addendum from reporter Robert Parry on two questions that might be posed to Hamilton about decisions he made in wrapping up the so-called "October Surprise" case):
When former Rep. Lee Hamilton gives the keynote address – entitled "Iraq: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond" – at a Tufts University symposium on March 27, he may be thankful if he doesn't have to discuss "yesterday."
He probably would prefer not to revisit fateful decisions he made while chairing investigations into Republican dirty work, especially those that let George H.W. Bush off the hook and cleared George W. Bush's path to the White House.
Whenever the Republicans have a touchy national-security scandal to put to rest, their favorite Democratic investigator is Lee Hamilton. Over the years, Hamilton has developed a reputation as a very reasonable fellow who knows how far he can go without ruffling too many important feathers.
As veteran journalist Robert Parry has persuasively argued at Consortiumnews.com, the Bush family name squeaked through the 80's and early 90's essentially mud-free, only because:
–On Christmas Eve 1992, lame-duck President George H.W.… Continue reading

We brought you Attorney General, Michael Mukasey's tearful remarks about 9/11 and the ongoing FISA battle in Congress last week and on Tuesday's Countdown, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow dig deeper into what was either a series of lies from the AG or an admission of gross negligence on the part of the Bush Administration leading up to that tragic day.
Mukasey claimed that the U.S. received a phone call from a terrorist safe house in Afghanistan prior to 9/11, but couldn't trace the call because the FISA laws were too restrictive — which is, of course, a lie. Mukasey was a Federal Judge, he knows that. Olbermann says that someone in the House or Senate needs to haul the Attorney General in and question him and find out whether he was lying to make a political point, or if the Bush administration really did receive such a call and chose not to act on it, leaving the country vulnerable to attack.
Maddow: "…Oh please, just let him have just been lying, because if he was telling the truth here, if there really was a call from a known al Qaeda safe house in Afghanistan to the United States before 9/11 which the Bush Administration did not tap and trace? That is huge news and we ought to get some answers about why we were left so unprotected and surprised on 9/11. Let's hope that he was… Continue reading

Most Outrageous Oscar Acceptance Speeches
2 of 10
Days after the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, controversial filmmaker Michael Moore used his time at the podium as his own personal soapbox, lambasting then President George W. Bush as he accepted the award for Best Documentary Film for Bowling for Columbine. Anytime you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up," he said, which prompted boos from the audience.
Watch Michael's controversial tirade, here.

Education at a Glance 2013 - Country notes and key fact tables
This paper discusses the results of the 2011-2012 OECD LEED study of measuring green growth in the Benelux countries (Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg). The study paid particular attention to the challenges of measuring the transition to a low-carbon economy in cross-border areas as they have additional levels of complexity when it comes to measuring and monitoring their low-carbon transition.
This publication looks at regional innovation in Wallonia, Belgium, by examining the political context, governance issues and the role of innovation in the economy, along with regional innovation strategies to promote growth.

Education at a Glance 2012: Key facts - Belgium
The EU Better Regulation project is a partnership between the OECD and the European Commission. It draws on the initiatives for Better Regulation promoted by both organisations over the last few years.
English, , 897kb
The main goal of the Strategy is to strengthen OECD's contributions to "higher and more inclusive growth in the widest array of countries", making full use of the OECD evidence-based approaches to improve policy making and economic reform for developing and developed countries.
This report provides, for the Flemish community of Belgium, an independent analysis of major issues facing the educational evaluation and assessment framework, current policy initiatives, and possible future approaches.
This book draws on work on green innovation across several parts of the OECD to show how it can drive sustainable growth and job creation. It explores policy actions for the deployment of new technologies and innovations as they emerge.

UPDATE: Wunderlich Securities Initiates Coverage on Atlas Resource Partners LP on Need to Improve the Coverage Ratio
In a report published Wednesday, Wunderlich Securities analyst Abhishek Sinha initiated coverage on Atlas Resource Partners LP (NYSE: ARP) with a Hold rating and $22.00 price target.
In the report, Wunderlich Securities noted, "We are initiating coverage of Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (ARP) with a Hold rating and a $22 price target. ARP is an oil & gas upstream MLP formed in Oct. 2011 with headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA. The partnership, which became public in March 2012, has properties located in the Barnett, Marble Falls, Mississippian, Utica, and the Marcellus. The company is heavily gas levered with 86% gas production and it has above-average leverage with pro forma debt/EBITDA of 5.2x. Based on our estimates, the company also has a weaker prospective coverage ratio of 0.8x in 2013 and 0.7x in 2014, which skews risks to the downside in the near term. In our opinion, ARP has limited upside in the near term until we get clear visibility toward its debt metrics and coverage ratio improvement."
Atlas Resource Partners LP closed on Tuesday at $20.19.

Samsung P400
3 out of 5
Extra battery
The Matrix fad is over; unfriendly interface; plasticky feel
With Matrix fever about to grab us again, Samsung hopes that its affiliation to the movie for its range of phones will pay off once again. The clam-shelled P400 may purport to offer the moves of Keanu Reeves, but in reality you may come away feeling disappointed.
The disappointment stems from a number of areas, mostly from the overall plastically feel of the casing and its smattering of shiny silver plastic. While we are sure someone at Samsung feels this is a nice touch the result makes the phone look dated and tacky. But wait there's more. A strange flashing blue/green/pink light emits from the back of the phone to let you know that its on and the classy words "Exciting - digital camera phone" is surely the icing on the cake in the style area.
Acting as a double-edged sword, the swivel screen, which is the big selling point of this phone comes with strong pros and cons. The main problem is that in order to make the screen capable of swivelling, the strength of the joint to make that screen swivel has been jeopardised. What this means is that every time you use the phone you feel that you are going to break it as the phone snaps close.
The aim is to make the camera element easier to use. This is done by swivelling the screen around 180 degrees. Then you snap it back onto the keypad. The phone for all intense purposes then turns into an LCD display with swivelling camera, rather than a phone with camera. This of course leads to other things like the ability to take discreet pictures without you so obviously holding a phone in their face.
For those looking for a phone that does the job it sets out to do - this model offers tri-band support, 40 Polyphonic ringtones and java-enabled games.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected part of a plan yesterday floated by a Southern grid operator and utilities to comply with the agency's landmark Order 1000 rule over objections from Republican commissioners. FERC voted 3-2 to approve a plan filed by Southwest Power Pool (SPP) to comply with the rule, which aims to revamp the planning and financing of power lines. SPP operates the grid in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

Majority of Americans back Obama plan — NRDC-backed poll
More than 60 percent of Americans support President Obama's effort to combat climate change, although support for individual components of his plan is even higher, according to results of a poll released today by the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Oregon: Slack times in local wind energy industry
During the year-end flurry, Oregon rose to the top five states for wind energy production, and welcomed the nation's second-largest complex at Shepherd's Flat — just as the two multinational wind companies with Portland regional headquarters were shedding staff. Iberdrola Renewables, the North American arm of a Spain-based energy giant, laid off about 25 people last year, shrinking to about 375 employees. Vestas, the Danish wind turbine maker whose North American headquarters is blocks away in Northwest Portland, shrank to about 250 employees here, down from nearly 400.
Former EPA senior policy counsel Sussman discusses agency's actions on emissions standards
How willing is U.S. EPA to compromise with industry on its power plant emissions standards? During today's OnPoint, Robert Sussman, the former senior policy adviser at EPA, gives his take on the key hurdles facing the agency as it tries to meet President Obama's aggressive timeline for new and existing power plant emissions standards. Sussman, who departed the agency earlier this month, also discusses how the holdup of Gina McCarthy's confirmation as administrator has affected operations and slowed the progress of agency projects.
Clinton urges climate action as headquarters is named in his honor

Moniz urges study of link between grid reliability, fuel availability
The National Petroleum Council should study how power outages caused by major weather events such as last year's Superstorm Sandy affect the availability of transportation fuel, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said today. Speaking at an NPC meeting in Washington, Moniz said the Obama administration's efforts to address climate change would feature a heavy focus on how to adapt to the effects of rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather, including examining how to ensure the resiliency of energy infrastructure. And he said the federally chartered advisory committee to the Department of Energy should play a central role in those efforts.

A positive identification on the human remains found Sunday, March 21, was announced around 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 24, by the Saratoga County Sheriff's Department. The remains are of Edward A. Schermerhorn, 51, of Oak Grove Motel in Burnt Hills. The investigation revealed he was last seen in August of 2008 while residing at the motel and an autopsy showed he committed suicide with a gunshot to the head.
Remains were found by a couple walking around 6:45 p.m. Sunday in a secluded, wooded area off a Ballston bike path. A gun was found at the scene.
The body underwent an autopsy at Albany Medical Center by Dr. Michael Sikirica and the individual's age and gender were eventually revealed through dental records. Deputies initially said it appeared the remains had been in the area for more at least a year and were in a skeletal state.
Investigators spent much of Monday on the scene, which is an area close to an Amtrak train line and east of Route 50 between Outlet and Connolly roads.
Town of Ballston Supervisor Patti Southworth said she was kept apprised of any new information, touching base with the sheriff's department throughout the investigation. She said once the investigation wraps up she expects the bike trail will reopened and depending on the results, the town board may decide whether or not to discuss any aspects of increased safety measures in that area.

Montreal, Canada, November 27, 2008 Suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a growing number of patients at the Centre hospitalier de l'Universit de Montral (CHUM), have become the beneficiaries of a North American breakthrough: high efficacy hemodiafiltration (HDF).
An extracorporeal blood purification technique, HDF is indicated for ESRD patients. Since the HDF unit was introduced in CHUM's Nephrology section, preliminary results show a clear advantage of high efficacy HDF over conventional hemodialysis in several areas, including the following:
"Conventional hemodialysis continues to save lives, but we now have the technology to improve the lot of dialysis patients," says Dr. Rnee Lvesque, nephologist and lead physician in the HDF program at CHUM, and a professor with the medical faculty of the Universit de Montral. "At CHUM, we're proud to soon be accepting a cohort of forty patients undergoing HDF." Dr. Lvesque added that the CHUM Nephrology section is putting much efforts behind the new process, and hopes that one day soon all dialysis patients will be treated in this fashion.
Recent retrospective clinical data indicate 1, 2 that HDF reduces the mortality rates of dialysis patients and randomized studies are under way to provide clear proof of increased survival rates for patients. Among these, the CONTRAST3 study compares hemodialysis with online hemodiafiltration HDF in overall performance relative to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The study seeks to recruit seven hundred test subjects

It's one thing to be a little critical of yourself, but another to throw your entire team under the bus in doing so. New York Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul said of his team - "I think we're a little soft, but I think we'll get there," he said Wednesday, via The Associated Press. "We haven't played our best game this year. I know that for a fact." This comes in the wake of losing to the Washington Redskins, putting them on the verge of missing the playoffs if they can't hold onto their slim 1-game divisional lead over the the 'Skins and Cowboys. "As a defense, we have to make a statement," Pierre-Paul said. "We haven't made a statement ever since, I'll say, San Francisco (in a Week 6 victory). Well, I'm lying, because we did beat up on Green Bay quite a little bit (in Week 12). But, ever since then, we haven't made a statement. We've just been losing. And we're all not playing together. "When you're a team, on an organization like this, you've got to play together as one. Otherwise, you'll keep going downhill." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

"There's no catch. Tracy Daugherty has written a generous, smart and comprehensive biography of a 21st Century American master. "—Gary Shteyngart
"Just One Catch is a truly smart and compelling biography of a major American writer. Joseph Heller wrote our greatest war novel and made a lasting contribution to the idiom, but he was also a singular figure through decades of cultural transformation. Tracy Daughtery deftly situates Heller's role in the American saga while never losing sight of the man, his grand literary quest, his huge personality, his politics, his passions, his weaknesses and kindnesses, his appetites."—Sam Lipsyte
"Just One Catch is not only an intricate and compassionate portrait of its subject, but also an absorbing account of the genesis of the novel that irrevocably transformed mid-20th century American discourse. And even more than that, it's a revelatory and moving social history: a reminder of a now-vanished culture in which the literary and the political informed one another in the most crucial and formative ways."—Jim Shepard
"In addition to chronicling the life of an iconic American novelist, it also provides a kind of literary equivalent to TV's Mad Men, pulling the reader into a world that eerily replicates our own, even as we thought we'd left that world long ago. The pleasure of reading this biography is in Daugherty's ability to both frighten and reassure us that history does indeed repeat itself. Which information is a real catch 22."—Antonya Nelson
"Catch-22 is the great comic American novel of the 20th century. Tracy Daugherty has given us a biography worthy of its author. A major achievement, or should I say major major major?"—Christopher Buckley
"A masterful, wonderfully thought-provoking biography about one of America's greatest contributors to 20th century literature. Both touching and illuminating, this is that rare biography worthy of its source material."—Stan Lee
TRACY DAUGHERTY is the author of four novels, four short story collections, and a book of personal essays. His critically acclaimed biography of Donald Barthelme, HIDING MAN was published in 2009. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Currently, he is Distinguished Professor of English and Creative Writing at Oregon State University.

Heads up! NBA referee Derek Richardson deserves hazard pay — or a reminder to pay better attention to the action going on right in front of him — after he was served a face full of basketball while officiating Tuesday's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. After Serge Ibaka drove the baseline and settled up for a short jumper, Caron Butler rose and emphatically blocked the Thunder power forward's attempt. The problem was — at least for Richardson — the direction of Butler's nasty block was in the direction of the referee's face, who was standing only a few feet away. In the end, Richardson was no worse for wear — for the most part — and quickly resumed his refereeing duties. Although it should be pointed that while Richardson had little time to protect himself, it seems he could been paying better attention. Come on, ref, gotta keep your head in the game, man. Either that or he should get used to having his face being treated as some kind of ball target, ricocheting basketballs all over the court.

ok, not being a dick, but more people would comment if you'd placed this thread in Gitmo (newbie technical discussion), or maybe Strikeistan instead of the MMA forum.
Strikeistan has a "post your bagwork" thread which is moderated/assessed by amateur fighters.
The knees look decent, but it's difficult in sillouhette to make any real assessment.
I'd say that the standing foot position that you use on your left round kick would enable you to get more penetration with your knees. You're very front on with your standing foot.
Your right leg roundhouse... your knee drops and the kick ends as more of a flick. No way to engage the hip for proper power.
Sorry... POWAHHH.Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.

Style: BJJ--
Extend hips out a little further forward for your knees. On round kicks instead of stepping straight to the bag and pivoting to get your hips over, step out at a slight angle off the bag with your heel already open to get momentum for your hips. Bring the knee up high and strike downward slightly on the bag.
Style: MMA, Yoga--
*After throwing a roundhouse kick your kicking foot needs to come back to where it started.
*When you are throwing it your face is not protected and you are asking to be KTFO, raise your right hand to cover the left hand side of your face when you throw the left roundhouse.
*Step diagonally, not forward.
I was going to mention your stance being too sidewards too but then i read your stylefield.

You're 2nd set of kicks was better than your first! Notice how the bag didn't rise (you didn't have to tap it back down). Your knee was in line and even slightly below your ankle at impact.
To ramp up the power, think about leading with your hip into the kick; your leg will trail and whip around behind it.. This goes back to what KidSpatula said in the previous thread where in a good thai kick, the hips are already fully rotated before contact is made.
Knees are all about the hips too. Keep those hips driving forward and then it is all about making sure you have a good clinch.
But... that's my $.02
