Another third-period lead squandered at home. Another barrage of shots on their overworked goaltender. The names and uniforms have changed -- Nashville is now on the other bench where Chicago once was -- but the storyline continues on. And in the end, the Phoenix Coyotes just find a way. And this time, "The Wizard" was in charge of the overtime magic. Outshot 16-1 in the third period and dominated early in overtime, the Coyotes leaned on goaltender Mike Smith to survive the onslaught and held on long enough for Ray Whitney to run down a Martin Hanzal faceoff win and flip it by Predators goalie Pekka Renne for a 4-3 overtime win that gave the first-ever conference semifinal in Phoenix a happy ending. Smith was the story again, making 39 saves, including a brilliant one on Francis Bouillon in overtime that allowed the Coyotes to play on and for Whitney to join Hanzal and Mikkel Boedker (twice) as overtime heroes the playoffs. Radim Vrbata added his first goal of the playoffs a...

Wisconsin's embattled Republican governor, Scott Walker, has defeated an effort by labor unions and Democratic activists to end his tenure early, according to early results and exit polls.
The state has been a center of political controversy for more than a year – ever since Walker pushed a bill through the Legislature that sharply limited collective bargaining rights for teachers and most other government workers. Public employee unions led an effort to oust him, and early this year turned in more than 900,000 signatures on petitions, setting up only the third recall election of a governor in U.S. history.
With more than $60 million spent overall, Walker and groups supporting him have had close to a 3:1 financial advantage over groups supporting the Democratic candidate, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
Strategists in both parties have anxiously watched the recall election for signs of what might happen in the general election this fall. In 2008, Barack Obama carried the state by a large margin en route to winning the presidency. But in 2004, Wisconsin had one of the nation's closest contests. The state is considered a must-win for Democrats.
Current polls indicate that Obama has a lead in the state, but a substantial amount of Walker's money went into building a get-out-the-vote operation that also will benefit Republicans in November.

Romans United
Some months ago I did quite a few illustrations for a couple of White Wolf books. The books are finally on the stands, so I can show and tell.
I had a fun time doing these and discovered a few new techniques in the process. I did 19 portraits for Fall of the Camarilla, where I got to illustrate lot of Roman vampires.
I also did 5 for the new Scion book; just your usual gang of historical characters and creatures.

I really like these. There's something interesting about how you geometrically plane the figures. The dramatic angles are very effective, also.
Great work!

Your faces seem a bit odd, like everything's been squished beneath the forehead...actually, looking at it again, that could be due to the fact that your characters tend to have very, very vertically-short noses.
Good work on the texture, though.

riva tnt + gentoo 2005.1
I just installed gentoo 2005.1 (kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6) on my 7-year-old dell xps r450 (pentium 2, 450 MHz), which has a riva tnt video card (agp, 16 MiB ram). Graphics work fine with the generic nv driver (except for the usual black strip at the left), but when I install the nvidia driver, all I get is a black screen.
I meticulously followed the instructions in the Gentoo linux nvidia guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml. Everything went well (emerge nvidia-glx; modprobe nvidia; edit /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, adding nvidia; modules-update; edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, changing the driver from nv to nvidia, commenting out Load "dri" in the Module section, and making sure DefaultDepth was set to 24; opengl-update nvidia) until the moment of truth when I gave the startx command. Then all I got was a black screen.
Question: Is it possible to get the nvidia driver to work with the 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 kernel and the riva tnt card? And of course, if possible, I would like to hear from someone who has actually accomplished this.
(According to the various README files, all the unified ia32 linux display drivers up through version 1.0-7174 (31 Mar 2005), and in particular version 1.0-6629 (5 Nov 2004) which comes with gentoo 2005.1 and the 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 kernel, support the riva tnt card. See http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_archive.html.)
Re: riva tnt + gentoo 2005.1
i have the same problem - any body who can help?
message from xorg.log:
Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!
Screen found, but none have a usable configuration
Re: riva tnt + gentoo 2005.1
You should use the 7174 driver. You might have to ~x86 keyword it so you can emerge it as it's not stable yet but should be set to stable soon. You have to emerge two packages as well: nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.

The Bruins made a few minor moves on Sunday, signing a trio of players to add organizational depth. The B's signed forward Justin Florek and defensemen Zach Trotman and Torey Krug to entry-level contracts. Krug, signed as a college free agent, will report to the big club in Boston, and will be eligible to play in any of the team's remaining regular season games, but not the postseason. A 5-foot-9, 180-pound defenseman, Krug recently finished his junior season at Michigan State University. He served as the team's captain for the second straight year, and set career bests in goals (12),...

My teenage daughter is frustrated. Numbers are coming up short in a school food drive. "We're down thousands of cans from last year," she gripes to me as if I can supply reasons that might justify the shortfall.
On the one hand, the answer is obvious. A drawn-out recession is taking its toll on our ability to give. On the other hand, seemingly one can't give enough to stem overwhelming demand and no request should be ignored.
As we mark Giving Tuesday, it's a fair question: How can we keep on being charitable when our own paychecks stretch thin? Is it time to consider new equations for giving where both donors and recipients don't feel the stress?
It's not that people haven't consistently stepped up. Neighbors on our block donated a hundred cans in 24 hours to the food drive. A co-worker chuckles as she checks her appearance, "I was delivering Meals on Wheels; my hair never had a chance." A few years ago, her predecessor "retired" only to sign on as a Habitat for Humanity volunteer. I bet every reader of this column supports favorite causes, plus a few more when asked.
So let's assume our compassion is as strong as ever, even if our ability to portion out slimmed-down resources may have taken a hit.
Salvation Army Major Roger Ross, Milwaukee County commander, confirms that people continue to give, even if only in spare quarters and dimes. The good news is this small change adds up. Since the Salvation Army's seasonal drive launched Nov. 2, there's been no fall-off in donations due to the economy, even a bit of an increase. "People like to do something. If they can't write a check, the Red Kettle reminds them there are others in need. I think the Salvation Army benefits from a great grass-roots collection."
Our business community has traditionally proved a reliable ally in any giving equation. Even in a stressed economic climate, Wisconsin businesses have continued to partner with United Way, which then dispenses monies and oversight to health and human services programs addressing needs of nearly 400,000 people throughout Milwaukee and surrounding counties, according to Ann Stadler, vice president of marketing and communications for United Way of Greater Milwaukee. Through employee- and vendor-giving programs, 1,000-plus companies have partnered with United Way this year to help the organization meet its fundraising goals.
Individuals or small business with fewer monetary resources also contribute significantly by sharing their skillsets, Stadler adds, noting United Way has benefited from multiple "in-kind" donations, where people can volunteer services, such as translation, cook-off fundraising or media spot creation.
In tough times, volunteer hours may become someone's primary way of giving and religious groups have traditionally been the "go to" resource for such work. Tutoring, checking in on the housebound, organizing a clothes pickup - that's charity of inestimable worth. (Do realize, however, some places of worship may need financial help themselves these days).
Through technologies and social media, we also can take advantage of creative yet inexpensive fundraising appeals. We can recycle old cellphones to shelters or offer up "like votes" in contests, where the biggest tally will support our favorite nonprofits. (The Journal Sentinel sponsored one of these contests recently).
So: time + compassion + creativity. These three factors can mix in with our monies to bolster anyone's charitable impulses in a stressed economy. When we add some new heft to our equations for giving, surprise: Supplies of goodwill seem more than adequate to meet any rising demand.

That would not be a problem at all, I've got six to read right now and two more ordered. Right now it's Zoo by Patterson then It's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Larsson then it will be Wind through the Keyhole by King. No plan farther than that.
Start out with something simple like "Green Eggs And Ham" by Dr. Seuss.

How To Teach Your Child a Second Language You Don't Know
By Bunmi on October 27th 2011
When I first moved to Montréal two years ago I had experience with French; I studied it in college, my dad speaks it as do many of my friends. But being thrown into a society where the first language is not your own is a whole different story. Something as simple as getting a driver's license becomes an obstacle course of verb conjugations and awkward silences.
If I really didn't want to have to learn French I could have huddled up with English speaking friends and isolated myself, but part of the fun of living in this province is the culture so that wasn't an option. I'd always wanted to raise bilingual children. My parents shielded me from Yoruba (the Nigerian tribe we're from) when they moved to the US in an effort to fully assimilate. Although I can mostly understand, it would have been so easy to be fluent. These days, people are more accepting of the idea of raising "global citizens" and the pressure to look and talk like everyone else has somewhat dissipated.
The benefits to being raised bilingual are indisputable. From the
cognitive advantages
to career options, even just the ability to fully immerse yourself in a culture other than your own, the pros speak for themselves.
Even though my eldest spoke French here and there with her dad who is fluent (he has a French Canadian mom), she was far more comfortable in English when we stepped off of the plane and entered Québec for the first time. For anyone who is interested in helping their child learn a second language that they themselves are tackling, the first thing that they have to realize is that it won't happen by accident. One does have to be deliberate.
1) Playgroups:
These days, most cities have
or playgroups of parents from different cultures who want their children to interact and keep their language of origin. Look for one in your area and show up with a desire to learn and a few snacks to share. I'm amazed by how young children who don't speak the same language have no problem at all playing together. I remember when my oldest daughter had her first playdate with another little boy here who spoke in Spanish. They were both three at the time and played as if they'd been buddies all of their lives. They each spoke their respective language to each other but the lack of word comprehension was a non-issue.
2) Books and CDs:
Visit your local library and look for
books and CDs
in the language you're interested in. Check out a few books and read them at bedtime. Listen to the music CDs as you clean or play. It's as simple as that. Children absorb from their environments. If they're exposed to the sounds, cadence, and words from a language, while they may not become fluent overnight, they will develop an ear for it - and that is the most important aspect of language acquisition.
3) Start Teaching Yourself
: As with anything you want your child to pick up, you as the parent are the #1 source of knowledge and information. After about a year in Montréal my language learning began to plateau. I could order take-out, buy groceries, greet and exchange pleasantries, direct a taxi driver, tell the baker how to cut my bread... all of the daily French-requiring functions. I wanted to go deeper and simply didn't have the time to enroll in in-person courses so I ordered
Rosetta Stone
and began studying in the evening. There are a plethora of programs for adults out there. As you learn a new word or phrase, incorporate it, even if it's surrounded by English words, in conversations with your child.
Everyone knows that children acquire language at a faster rate than adults. I'm convinced that much of this has to do with their lack of self-consciousness and urgency when it comes to learning. Make it fun. Be deliberate about making the language available to them but commit to being curious. It doesn't matter if you pronounce words incorrectly or confuse the masculine and feminine terms... learning is a process, an exciting one at that.

Marginal Productivity of Expanding Highway Capacity
This paper examines the contribution of highway capacity expansions towards regional economic development in the US. Using data for the forty-eight contiguous US states from 1984 to 2005, the dynamic production function estimates reveal that increases in overall highway capacity in states can have a positive, long-lasting effect on private sector output. However, both short-run and long-run output elasticities of highways are small. The data suggests further investments in highway infrastructure may not produce sizable economic returns. The estimates of the long-term productivity benefits of capacity expansion appear to be even smaller for lane-mile additions of lower functional road categories. © 2012 LSE and the University of Bath

First use this past weekend in Big Sur for car camping and it was perfect. We opted for additional comfort with an air mattress and this tent was able to accommodate a queen-sized mattress! I'm over 6 foot and was able to sit up (on the higher side) without ducking my head). Stylish fly and even better without the fly. Add the footprint to ensure it lasts for years to come.

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
From the Lagoon of Liquidspaceman...
I love the idea of adding fog somewhere in, or around HM.
It got me thinking, why not have some sort of Diorama scene in the train tunnel? It would be kind of cool to have the train go over a Louisianan bog with the cemetery off in the distance, using forced perspective, and of course fog. The fog would be either off in the distance or you would go through it only temporarily and wouldn't "hurt" any AIs. Since all graves in New Orleans are above ground, do to the water table height, it could be an awesome view from the train by "peeking" into a new part of the HM ride only seen by guests from the DRR....Liquidspaceman, over and out!

I think fog around the outside of the Mansion would be nice. But it should be water-based, not chemical (i.e. "fog juice" or whatever). And it would be more effective if it were intermittent.
Actually, I love the "June Gloom" on summer mornings -- it naturally adds a nice atmosphere to the Park.
I always thought the smell of the fog juice added a level of spookiness.

Sometimes when driving down the road and I let down my window and then AC quits blowing out cold air; however, very hot air begins blowing out from underneath the steering wheel. When I let up the window the AC just blows out warm air out the vent and the hot air quits blowing out from under the steering wheel. It takes a days and/or months to blow out cold air again.

Lindsay Lohan must be having some serious financial problems! Last week Lindsay skipped out on her bar tab and on Thursday she threw a serious temper tantrum because the owner of Kitson wouldn't give her $15,000 worth of free goods.
Here's how it all went down: Lindsay was promised $500 worth of Pascal Mouawad jewelry if she showed up to the launch of the line at Kitson boutique. She showed up alright--but all they got out of her appearance was a lot of drama.
After Lindsay complained about $500 being too little, the owner of Kitson agreed to up the free goods to a $1000. But she wasn't happy with that either.
Lindsay tried to walk away with $15,000 worth of merchandise before she was stopped. When Pascal put his foot down and said "NO!" she asked a random Kitson employee to let her walk away with the goods, but no such luck.
Pop Tarts watched as Lindsay went crazy in the store "pulling out drawers and insisting she wanted this and that, eventually racking up a hefty $15,000 bill. But when told she had exceeded her limit quite significantly, Lohan responded that 'Pascal would take care of it because I'm the only celebrity here.'"
"Pascal said no, so she went and started talking smack about him to Jermaine Dupri who doesn't even know her," said an insider.
"He was totally bewildered and couldn't believe it. Eventually Pascal said she could have $2000 to spend but that was the absolutely limit."
She eventually stormed out of Kitson with $2000 worth of goodies. Talk about a train wreck!

I remember when serving in the U.S. Navy, it was pointed out by my advisers many foreign countries trying to influence American opinion would publicize things which Americans viewers would pick up, all the while the while country(s) doing the posturing could really care less about the issue. Or are really only after how the American public would pick upon the issue.. I can't help but think this is a text book example of said instance? My point? Would it be fair to say Christmas is really a Christian holiday and those putting forth imagery of a Santa Claus we probably Muslim? So why are Muslims attempting to celebrating a Christian holiday?

NYC CAN News Bulletin – FORWARD WIDELY August 24, 2009
On Monday, August 10, NYC CAN began a comprehensive review of the nearly 26,000 signatures invalidated by the New York City Board of Elections and City Clerk. With 26,003 signatures accepted as valid by the City, at least 3,997 additional signatures were needed to exceed the threshold of 30,000 signatures. 10 days, 50 volunteers and 1,000 man-hours later, we are thrilled to report we have so far discovered 6,924 signatures we will argue were wrongly invalidated.
In addition, the Court has granted an extension allowing us to complete our review of 6 unfinished volumes. We anticipate having well over 7,000 additional valid signatures once the review is complete. The 50+ individuals who helped conduct the review take great pride in knowing their work has stopped the silencing of 7,000 New York City voters and allowed their voices to be heard.
On Friday, August 28, we must serve a Bill of Particulars listing all signatures we argue should be deemed valid by the Court. Special Referee Louis Crespo will begin a line-by-line review of the disputed signatures on Tuesday, September 8, and is scheduled to complete his review by Friday, September 18.
Pending the outcome of the Court's review of the disputed signatures, lawyers for NYC CAN and the City will begin arguing the legality of the petition's proposed amendment to the City Charter.
Looking ahead, NYC CAN will submit an additional… Continue reading

This took place at the Anthony Wayne Movie Theater in Wayne, PA. Thanks to everyone that came out tonight, and thanks to Betsy Metz for making it possible. Correction: The news about NORAD lying, and the 9/11 Commission came out around the time this movie was released.
Paul Zarembka will be interviewed today on his excellent 9/11 book, The Hidden History of 9/11 . The one-hour broadcast will aired on Bonnie Faulkner's KPFA program 'Guns and Butter: The Economics of Politics', where she has given considerable attention to 9-11 on her program for many years.
The interview can be heard at 4 p.m. Eastern/1 p.m. Pacific, available at http://www.kpfa.org/
It will also be available as an archive thereafter at http://www.kpfa.org/node/34
UPDATE 7/25/09 Paul Zarembka will be a guest on John Rodger's blogtalk radio show tomorrow, Sunday, July 26, at 5pm PST. Listen here. UPDATE 7/23/09
Audio of this interview is now available online: http://informationclearinghouse.info/article23122.htm
How much insider trading occurred in the days leading up to 9/11? How compromised is the evidence against alleged hijackers because of serious authentication problems with a key Dulles Airport videotape?…
James Corbett
The Corbett Report
17 July, 2009
Government sources immediately began blaming North Korea for the recent cyberterror attacks on South Korea and the U.S., despite having no evidence to back up those claims. Now, an examination of the evidence by independent computer experts show that the attack seems to have been coordinated from the UK. The hysterical media coverage in the attack's wake, however, echoing the government line that it was likely the work of North Korea, served to cement in the minds of many that this was an act of cyberwarfare.
The idea that this surprisingly unsophisticated attack could have come from a well-organized, hostile state or terrorist group comes as a blessing in disguise to those groups, agencies and advisors who have been calling for greater and greater federal snooping powers in the name of stopping a "cyber 9/11″ from happening.
The "cyber 9/11″ meme stretches back almost to 9/11 itself. Back in 2003, Mike McConnell, the ex-director of the National Security Agency (NSA), was fearmongering over the possibility of a cyber attack "equivalent to the attack on the World Trade Center" if a new institution were not created to oversee cyber security. Since then, report after report has continued to use the horror of 9/11 as a way of raising public hysteria over "cyber terrorism," a subject more often associated with juvenile hackers and lone misfits than radical terrorist organizations.
The real reason behind the invocation of 9/11 in the context of "cyber terror"… Continue reading

by Mark H. Gaffney, Author of The 9/11 Mystery Plane and the Vanishing of America
The evidence was crucial because it undermined the official explanation that Hani Hanjour crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon at high speed after executing an extremely difficult top gun maneuver. But to understand how all of this played out, let us review the case in bite-size pieces…
In August 2004 when the 9/11 Commission completed its official investigation of the September 11, 2001 attack, the commission transfered custody of its voluminous records to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).[1] There, the records remained under lock and key for four and a half years, until last January when NARA released a fraction of the total for public viewing. Each day, more of the released files are scanned and posted on the Internet, making them readily accessible. Although most of the newly-released documents are of little interest, the files I will discuss in this article contain important new information.
As we know, the 9/11 Commission did not begin its work until 2003——more than a year after the fact. By this time a number of journalists had already done independent research and published articles about various facets of 9/11. Some of this work was of excellent quality. T he Washington Post, for example, interviewed aviation experts who stated that the plane allegedly piloted by Hani Hanjour [AA Flight 77] had been flown "with extraordinary skill, making it highly… Continue reading

The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September 11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by terrorists, according to a 9/11 Commission document recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented on September 9, terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to blow it up with explosives over New York.
The undated document, entitled "NORAD EXERCISES Hijack Summary," was part of a series of 9/11 Commission records moved to the National Archives at the start of the year. It was found there, and posted to the History Commons site at Scribd, by History Commons contributor paxvector, in the files of the commission's Team 8, which focused on the failed emergency response on the day of the attacks. The summary appears to have been drafted by one of the commission's staffers, possibly Miles Kara, based on documents submitted by NORAD.
An excerpt from page 4 of the NORAD EXERCISES document.
In the September 9 scenario, the fictitious terrorists' goal seems to have been to kill New Yorkers with the rain of debris following the plane's explosion. However, in the exercise, the military intercepted the plane and forced it away from the city. When the terrorists realized they were not near New York, they blew the plane up "over land near the divert location," leaving no survivors. The military unit most involved in this scenario was NORAD's Northeast Air Defense… Continue reading
Perhaps the most interesting thing this week is that an HC contributor found a document in the National Archives showing that, two days before 9/11, the military practiced responding to a simulated hijacking by suicide terrorists targeting New York. The document also mentioned a number of other previously-unknown hijacking-response exercises, and has been written up at the contributors' blog.

'9/11 Press for Truth' on Channel 12 Draws Huge Support from Colorado Public Television Viewers
Program will repeat at 2:00, 9:00 and midnight on Saturday
DENVER — (June 4, 2009) — KBDI has always been at the forefront of controversial programming and last night was no exception. As the first broadcast station in the United States to air the controversial documentary 9/11 Press for Truth, which claims a 9/11 cover-up, KBDI showed that it is not afraid to touch on sensitive subjects.
Due to viewer response to the program, Channel 12 will repeat the program Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., followed by an encore at midnight.
During the premiere, Bob McIlvaine, who lost his son Bobby at the World Trade Center, and 9/11 Press for Truth producer Kyle Hence and director Ray Nowosielski were in the studio to give more insight into why they believed 9/11 was a cover-up and why the American public should be screaming for answers.
Supporters of the documentary hope that because of the risk KBDI took by putting 9/11 Press for Truth on the air that more PBS stations across the nation will take a chance and broadcast the controversial documentary.
Press for Truth's producer Kyle Hence already has heard the cries saying people from all over the country have been forwarding his e-mails on… Continue reading
Cheney said in an interview on Fox News:
"On the question of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9-11, there was never any evidence to prove that," he told the Fox host. "There was "some reporting early on … but that was never borne out… [President] George [Bush] … did say and did testify that there was an ongoing relationship between al-Qaeda and Iraq, but no proof that Iraq was involved in 9-11."
How important is Cheney's admission?
Well, 5 hours after the 9/11 attacks, Donald Rumsfeld said "my interest is to hit Saddam" .
He also said "Go massive . . . Sweep it all up. Things related and not."
And at 2:40 p.m. on September 11th, in a memorandum of discussions between top administration officials, several lines below the statement "judge whether good enough [to] hit S.H. [that is, Saddam Hussein] at same time", is the statement "Hard to get a good case." In other words, top officials knew that there wasn't a good case that Hussein was behind 9/11, but they wanted to use the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to justify war with Iraq anyway.
Moreover, "Ten days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush was told in a highly classified briefing that the U.S. intelligence community had no evidence linking the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein to the [9/11] attacks and that there was scant credible evidence that Iraq had any significant collaborative… Continue reading

New details have emerged about minders who sat in on 9/11 Commission interviews during a fact-finding trip to Canada. Commission heads Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton mentioned the minders generally in interviews during the panel's lifetime, but a memo recently found in the National Archives and blogged here a couple of weeks ago showed how prevalent they were.
Another document, again found by History Commons contributor paxvector, provides more details of how the minders worked during a trip to Canada. The commission, which eventually recommended taking part of the CIA director's responsibilities away and giving them to a Director of National Intelligence, was considering changes to the intelligence community and sent a team to Canada to examine how its intelligence services were organised and report back.
The three-page memo, entitled "Canada Trip Lessons Learned" and apparently drafted by staffer Gordon Lederman in the autumn of 2003, highlights how the minders behaved.
One minder "acted as a participant," "responded to inquiries" and "consulted with" the interviewee. She took verbatim notes in all three interviews she attended, doing so while sitting next to the interviewees in two of them. In addition, in one interview she "sighed heavily repeatedly." The memo-writer also points out, "She had an opportunity to coach/poison the well with [Redacted] at dinner the night before and with others before they arrived including with FBI attorney and Legat [legal attaché]." It's not clear which agency this minder was from, although… Continue reading
This episode of Visibility 9-11 welcomes back to the program Kyle Hence, founder of 9-11 Citizens Watch and producer of the excellent documentary 9-11 Press for Truth. Included is a brief discussion about the film as well as a new film Kyle is working on based on footnote #44 in Chapter 6 of the 9-11 Commission Report. A press release from the September 11th Advocates reads in part:
"In July 2004, when the 9/11 Commission released its Final Report, we read with enormous interest, Chapter 6 – "From Threat to Threat", including footnote #44. Footnote #44 details an instance where a CIA desk officer intentionally withheld vital information from the FBI about two of the 9/11 hijackers who were inside the United States. This footnote further states that the CIA desk officer covered-up the decision to withhold said vital information from the FBI. Finally, footnote #44 states that the CIA desk officer could not recall who told her to carry out such acts."
Also included in this discussion are the circumstances surrounding the historic national premier of 9-11 Press for Truth on a major market PBS station. On June 3, 2009 at 7:00pm, 9-11 Press for Truth will be shown on KBDI, Channel 12 in Denver Colorado. This historic broadcast will feature in-studio interviews during the broadcast with Kyle Hence, Bob McIlvaine, and a representative of Colorado 9-11 Visibility. As has been the case for the past couple of years, Colorado 9-11 Visibility will also be manning… Continue reading

Zelikow made the claim he was not involved in the initial stages of the dispute in response to an allegation made by commission staffer John Azzarello and relayed by Shenon. After the staff investigators drafted a memo for the commissioners in early April 2004 outlining why they thought NORAD and FAA officials had deliberately lied to them to overstate the military's readiness during the attacks, Zelikow "just buried that memo," according to Azzarello. In response, Zelikow claimed that he had not even known of the issue at the start. The implication was that, as he had not known of it, it could not be him that was orchestrating–or even involved in–a dispute between the staff investigators and the commission's lawyers, Daniel Marcus and Steve Dunne.
However, the newly found e-mail chain shows Zelikow did know of the issue in April, raising the question as to why he falsely told Shenon he did not. Zelikow is not known to be linked to the FAA, but, if the commission had referred the matter to the Justice Department and it had started a perjury investigation against NORAD officials, this would certainly have had the potential to embarrass his friends at the Pentagon. Zelikow is alleged to have husbanded the issue to ensure a less potentially embarrassing referral to the inspectors general of the FAA and Defense Department, who in the end blamed the false statements on innocent mistakes and poor logkeeping.
Zelikow wrote to… Continue reading

Remember Star Wars? Do you remember the Pentagon's Strategic Defense Initiative to build a massive missile defense system that raised so much controversy during the Reagan and first Bush years? 130 billion of our tax dollars were poured into developing that system. It was designed to detect and intercept missiles fired from an unknown destination traveling at well over 10 times the speed of a commercial airliner, and to shoot them down in 15 minutes or less, before they reached their US targets.
According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) website, "a defensive system may need to hit a warhead smaller than an oil drum that is traveling above the atmosphere at speeds greater than 13,000 miles per hour." The CBO report states that missile defense and intercept systems must take down an ICBM in a matter of minutes or it is all over.
You may remember that before 9/11, there were a number of tests of the Pentagon's missile defense systems. Some tests failed, while others succeeded. But there is an important question here. If these sophisticated military systems were designed to detect missiles fired from unknown locations at over 13,000 mph and shoot them down in mere minutes, why on 9/11 could they not detect any one of the four large airliners traveling at a mere 600 mph, especially when two of them were known to be lost for over 40 minutes before they crashed?
This question applies especially to… Continue reading

Much of the material cited in the 9/11 Commission's findings was derived from terror war detainees during brutal CIA interrogations authorized by the Bush administration, according to a Wednesday report.
"More than one-quarter of all footnotes in the 9/11 Report refer to CIA interrogations of al Qaeda operatives subjected to the now-controversial interrogation techniques," writes former NBC producer Robert Windrem in The Daily Beast. "In fact, information derived from the interrogations was central to the 9/11 Report's most critical chapters, those on the planning and execution of the attacks."
"… [Information] derived from the interrogations is central to the Report's most critical chapters, those on the planning and execution of the attacks," reported NBC. "The analysis also shows – and agency and commission staffers concur – there was a separate, second round of interrogations in early 2004, done specifically to answer new questions from the Commission.
"9/11 Commission staffers say they 'guessed' but did not know for certain that harsh techniques had been used, and they were concerned that the techniques had affected the operatives' credibility. At least four of the operatives whose interrogation figured in the 9/11 Commission Report have claimed that they told interrogators critical information as a way to stop being 'tortured.' The claims came during their hearings last spring at the U.S. military facility in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba."
"Commission executive director Philip Zelikow (later counselor to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice) admitted, 'We were not aware,… Continue reading
Should the members of the 9/11 Presidential Commission not have been informed
that two of the "key witnesses" upon whom their report was based
had provided the information critical to the report's conclusions only
after being waterboarded a total of 266 times? … In short, the basic narrative
of the origins and conduct of the 9/11 attack that so fundamentally perverted
American politics relied on cherry-picked information that the White House and
its operative in the field chose to release to the commission.

Nancy Pelosi is no Dick Cheney, nor a George W. Bush. She was neither the author
of a systematic policy of torture nor has she been, like Cheney and most top
Republicans in Congress, an enduring apologist for its practice. It is a nonsensical
distraction to place her failure to speak out courageously as a critic of the
Bush policies on the same level as those who engineered one of the most shameful
debacles in U.S. history.
But what she, and anyone else who went along with this evil, as lackadaisically
as she now claims, should be confronted with are the serious implications of
their passive acquiescence. Why did she not speak up, or if it were a matter
of a lack of reliable information, demand an accounting from the executive branch,
as befits a leader of the loyal opposition in Congress?
If the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, and later House
Democratic leader, lacked the authority to… Continue reading

The Red Cross is the organization charged with deciding what is torture and
what isn't.
The International Committee of the Red Cross interviewed Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
– the alleged 9/11 mastermind – at Guantánamo Bay.
Here's what KSM
told the Red Cross (see below for more from a review of this report):
During the harshest period of my interrogation I gave a lot of false information
in order to satisfy what I believed the interrogators wished to hear in order
to make the ill-treatment stop. I later told the interrogators that their
methods were stupid and counterproductive. I'm sure that the false information
I was forced to invent in order to make the ill-treatment stop wasted a lot
of their time and led to several false red-alerts being placed in the U.S.
Straight from the horse's mouth:
* Torture doesn't work; and
* The 9/11 Commission report was based on worthless
confessions extracted by torture (and, as I've previously discussed, the
witness who fingered Khalid Shaikh Mohammed as the mastermind of 9/11 was himself
rom The New
York Review of Books , a very extensive article with much more important
information about the ICRC Report:
…There is a reverse side, of course, to the "ticking bomb" and
torture: pain and ill-treatment, by creating an unbearable pressure on the detainee
to say something, anything, to make the pain stop, increase the likelihood that
he will fabricate stories, and waste time, or worse.…

How many times has this happened to you? You are explaining to someone some of the rational, logical reasons why the official story of 9/11 can't be true, perhaps explaining how WTC 7 fell in the exact manner of a professionally planned controlled demolition — a job which would typically take weeks to prepare — when out comes a 'thought stopper' phrase like:
"That's just another conspiracy theory !" or …
"Do you also believe in Big Foot and tin foil hats?"
Or perhaps the person gets angry and/or agitated. Facts no longer matter at that point, and you can tell the person does not want to hear any more. For example, the following response came from someone after they were given a 20-minute summary of 9/11 Truth information:
"I wouldn't believe that, even if it were true!"
That reaction defies all logic and reason. But it clearly illustrates just how irrational some peoples' defenses can be. Here are a few more honest responses/defenses:
"As long as my wife and kids are fine and we can live the life style we have, the truth is, I don't really care what happened on 9/11." "I would not want to live in a world where such a thing could be true." "You can't expect someone to listen to information that turns their world upside down." "I'm not sure I want to know. If this is true, then up would be down and down would be up. My life would… Continue reading

A recently released 9/11 Commission memo highlights the role of government
"minders" who accompanied witnesses interviewed by the commission.
It was added to the National Archives' files at the start of the year
and discovered there by History Commons contributor paxvector.
The memo, entitled "Executive Branch Minders' Intimidation of Witnesses,"
complains that:
The memo was drafted by three staffers on the commission's Team 2, which
reviewed the overall structure of the US intelligence community. One of the
drafters was Kevin Scheid, a senior staffer who led the team. His co-writers
were Lorry Fenner, an air force intelligence officer, and lawyer Gordon Lederman.
The complaint was sent to the commission's counsels, Daniel Marcus and
Steve Dunne, in October 2003, about halfway through the commission's 19-month
The memo makes clear that the problems were not occurring only with witnesses
talking to Team 2, but also in "other teams' interviews."
A hand-written note on a draft of the memo says, "not one agency or minder
— also where we've sat in on other Teams' interviews."

What You Can Expect
Stretch your legs and walk around the town, seeing highlights like the 14th-century Orvieto Cathedral – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with a glistening façade of stained glass, mosaics and sculptures. Soak up Orvieto's charms and admire the countless churches that are scattered around its center.
Return to your coach and travel through the rolling hills toward Umbria – Tuscany's lesser known but just as captivating neighbor. Stop for lunch on the shores of Lake Trasimeno, and then continue to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Assisi.
Famed as the birthplace of Italy's Catholic patron saint, St Francis of Assisi, the sleepy little town documents all the highs and lows of his life. On a walking tour, see the stall where he was said to be born, his childhood home, and the spot where he pledged his life to his vocation. Hear of the town's other, lesser-known saint, St Clare, who became one of St Francis' first true followers. Visit the Convent of Santa Chiara, which is dedicated to her, before heading to Assisi's Basilica di San Francesco for a tour.
Other Assisi highlights include the town hall square, Piazza del Comune, with its turreted 'palace'-- Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. Admire the Roman Temple of Minerva and then return to your coach for the journey south.
Before your tour ends, enjoy a final stop in the town of Santa Maria degli Angeli to see its beautiful basilica – a 9th-century church where St Francis reportedly worshiped. Head back to Rome and finish your tour at the start point in the early evening.

Originally written on Fox Sports Arizona | Last updated 2/10/13
PHOENIX (AP) -- Catcher Rod Barajas has returned to the Diamondbacks, the team with which he started his major league career. The D-backs announced Sunday that the 37-year-old agreed to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, where he will compete with Wil Nieves for a backup job behind Miguel Montero. Barajas hit .206 with 11 homers and 31 RBIs in 321 at-bats for the Pirates last year. According to STATS, he threw out just four of 97 runners attempting to steal on him. He played for Arizona from 1999-03, then went to Texas (2004-06), Philadelphia (2007), Toronto (2008-09), the New York Mets (2010) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (2010-11).

Says Berkus: 'I never thought I would be so excited to be 10 inches away from a filthy diaper as I am'
Nate Berkus and husband Jeremiah Brent are introducing their daughter to the world.
She's Poppy Brent-Berkus who was born on 23 March but whose first photo shoot was not published until Friday (15 May).
'Our paternal instincts kicked in almost instantly,' Berkus tells People Magazine. 'She came out with her eyes open, looking around like she had been waiting for us.'
'It was sort of like if you were gay then you were going to have AIDS ... I internalized that fear for a long time'
Famed interior designer and television personality Nate Berkus is now one of the most famous gay men in America.
But there was a time when he was a kid with a big secret and terrified of dying of AIDS.
'I remember kind of equating the AIDS crisis to not wanting to come out because ... it was sort of like if you were gay then you were going to have AIDS,' Berkus says in this week's installment of the It Got Better series.
'We are so excited to finally be a family of 3!'
Celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus and husband Jeremiah Brent became parents with the birth of their daughter this week via surrogate.
Berkus, who gained fame through regular appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, made the announcement in a Facebook post: 'Jeremiah & I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our daughter, Poppy Brent-Berkus, born via surrogate on March 23, 2015. We are so excited to finally be a family of 3!
This is the first Finnish bill petitioned by the public and approved as a law
Finland's president has signed the same-sex marriage bill into law today, but couples will have to wait until 2017 to get married.
President Sauli Niinistö confirmed the new law that will make marriage gender neutral will come into force on 1 March 2017.
This is the first piece of legislation that has been brought to Parliament by the public, under the citizens' initiative, and approved as the law of the land.
LGBTI rights activists have hailed the change as not only historic, but a symbolic, move to equality.
It was 10 years ago today that Berkus' partner was swept out to sea while they were vacationing at a beach resort in Sri Lanka
For the past 10 years, the day after Christmas has marked a sad anniversary for TV interior design guru Nate Berkus.
It was on 26 December in 2004 that Berkus was vacationing at a beach resort in Sri Lanka with his his partner, photographer Fernando Bengoechea, and the Indian Ocean tsunami hit.
Bengoechea was swept out to sea, his body never recovered.
'My thoughts, prayers, and love go out to all who lost someone in the tsunami 10 years ago today,' Berkus tweeted today.
Newlywed announces on Facebook: 'We have had the most special year and its JUST become even more beautiful'
Four months after their wedding, home design guru and TV personality Nate Berkus and his new husband Jeremiah Brent announced Wednesday (24 September) that they are going to become parents.
'We have had the most special year and its JUST become even more beautiful. We are happy to announce that we are expecting our first child!' the couple stated on Berkus's Facebook page.
US home design guru and Jeremiah Brent become first same-sex couple to be married at landmark location
With Oprah Winfrey among the celebrity guests, home decorating guru and TV host Nate Berkus married his fiance of one year, Jeremiah Brent, over the weekend.
And the couple made a little bit of history while doing so by becoming the first same-sex couple to be married at the New York Public Library.
Celebrated with fiance Jeremiah Brent in Peru atop Machu Picchu
Nate Berkus, who lost his partner in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, has found love again and is getting married.
Berkus confirmed today that he is marrying Jeremiah Brent, his boyfriend of more than a year.
Berkus, 41, proposed to Brent on Monday (8 April). The couple then celebrated atop the famed Machu Picchu in Peru where they are vacationing with friends.
'It made me a better person, it made me a more compassionate person'
Nate Berkus became a familiar face to viewers of The Oprah Winfrey Show more than a decade ago as an interior designer who was a frequent guest on the show.
But it wasn't until December 2004 that his personal life became a lot more public. He and his partner, photographer Fernando Bengoechea were vacationing at a beach resort in Sri Lanka when the Indian Ocean tsunami hit. While Berkus survived, Bengoechea went missing and is presumed dead.
Berkus appeared on Winfrey's daytime show a month later to talk about his ordeal and the loss of his love.
'I said, 'Why would I choose to make my life more difficult?'
Design star Nate Berkus, who first came to fame on The Oprah Winfrey Show, has reunited with his television mentor for a candid conversation that includes how he came out to his father.
Berkus tells Winfrey in the first of a two-part interview that begins airing on her OWN Network on Sunday (3/10) about the first conversation he had with his father about his being a gay man.
Says Berkus: 'I asked my father: 'Do you trust me? Do you respect me? Do you think I'm smart?' He said, 'Yes.''
Tweaked format this fall did not help ratings
Anderson Cooper's foray into daytime television is shaping up to be more like the short run of Nate Berkus than the extended stay of Ellen DeGeneres.
The openly gay CNN newsman's show, Anderson Live, is still early in its second season but it was announced on Monday (29 October) that it will not be returning for a third year.
'I spent my allowance buying decorative boxes on my way home from the bus stop'
Home design guru Nate Berkus says his new book, The Things That Matter, was not supposed to be a memoir. But he couldn't help but share part about himself as he wrote about his and other people's homes.
'I chose to focus on the corporate character it took for Target to apologize for the effects of their decision'
Openly-gay daytime lifestyle show host Nate Berkus is defending a partnership he has entered in with the Target retail chain
Target ran afoul with the LGBT community for donating to the political group MN Forward, a Political Action Committee that supported anti-gay gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer during the 2010 election season.

This is a custom campaign for Left 4 Dead titled "Murderwell". It will have 3 chapters and I am considering in making 2 survivor maps with this mod. This is my 1st mod and I am still learning how to use Hammer and how to make Left 4 Dead maps but I am getting better at modelling and understanding more of what is required in a campaign. This is the reason why it has taken me a while to start this mod and I am hoping to complete it as soon as possible. I would be grateful for any feedback and constructive criticism as that's how I will get better. EDIT: I have considered in extending the campaign to 4 levels with the 4th being the escape level.
1 comment by Yer_Da on Mar 6th, 2011
Sorry for not posting up any updates in a while well main reason is my hard drive on my PC died which means I have lost everything in it including the mod. I feel like an idiot by not making a backup on a USB stick or putting it in a zip file and email myself so I could download it if anything went wrong.
I'm currently getting a new hard drive so hopefully it arrives soon so that I can start modding again. I'm prob not going to remake the campaign anytime soon as I am considering making 2 survival maps instead which I'll post up when I start working on them. I will make Murderwell but I'll start work when I feel like it.
The main reasons why I am going to do survival maps instead at the moment as I feel I will learn how to use Hammer better and learn how to do programming such as nav mesh quicker.
I would like to thank all of you for having an interest and your input when I was building the campaign.
Nice make a map where you kill all the white trash you hate in real life XD
I don't hate anyone in the town or the town itself just felt it would be an awesome map to make since it would reduce the time on planning and designing the maps as I am familiar with the place compared to doing something completely new.
are there zombies in Motherwell???
Depends what you mean "zombie" lol :)
I dont now... crazy things that run to you and try to kill you
Well in some parts yes lol
i wish i can help too but I'm not good at making maps :(
Your opinions on what you think should or should not be added is a lot of help to me.
i think it looks promising enough.
if you need anything id be happy to help.
Thanks alot I'll ask you if I get stuck :)

I just got a reminder of what true corporate greatness looks like.
Ever since Mark Hurd arrived to untangle the mess he inherited at Hewlett-Packard Co., there has been a concerted effort to rekindle the legendary HP Way culture. His unmissed predecessor, Carly Fiorina, did a pretty good job of destroying this legendary culture at the company during her quest for personal glory … to the point that even the few survivors of the old days can barely remember what it was like to work for the company once-considered the most enlightened on the planet.
Shrewdly, Hurd realized that there yet remained one last, though diminishing, repository of the HP Way: the company's retired, but still loyal, employees. If their memories could be tapped, perhaps the HP that was lost could be recovered.
Toward that end, even as he was developing a whole new strategy for the company, and racing from division to division around the world restoring morale, Hurd redoubled the company's efforts to restore the fabled Packard garage in Palo Alto (the birthplace of the tech revolution) and to create a video about Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard as described by the men and women who knew them.
This week saw the unveiling of both.
Last spring, I was invited to HP (where I'd been unwelcome during the Fiorina years) to be interviewed for what was planned to be a low-budget collection of interviews of HP veterans. It proved to be a leisurely morning -- and I soon forgot all about it.
Then, just a couple months ago, I was called again, this time by an award-winning television producer. HP top management had seen the clips -- and been so struck by the lost world described by company veterans that it decided to invest in a full-blown production that could be a cornerstone of the company's renewal.
With a dozen or so others, I was invited back (properly dressed to match the images of six months before) and peppered with more questions. This time I was more prepared, having in the interim signed a major book contract to tell the story of Bill and Dave.
After many years in television, I was pretty used to the camera. But what I wasn't prepared for was the feeling I got walking back into Hewlett-Packard after all these years. As a reporter, I'd covered thousands of companies, but HP was unlike any other. It wasn't just a company, but a glimpse of what a company should be. And if the HP I visited that day wasn't the one I left 25 years before, I could still feel the old resonances, and a growing sense that the company was trying to find its way home.
Monday I attended the video's premiere, held for company veterans at a restaurant near Stanford University. For me, it was like that moment at the end of Proust when Marcel arrives at a party full of the people he's always loved and admired … and suddenly realizes that everyone is 80 years old.
In fact, of all the retired and former HPers in the room, Steve Wozniak and I were the youngest -- and we're both gray-haired. All of the rest were in their 70s and 80s -- the men and women who were hired by Bill and Dave in the 1950s and 1960s, who made the HP Way real, and who, though largely uncelebrated by history, helped define the modern world.

NHL sides literally speechlessBy IRA PODELL
The Associated Press | November 17,2012NEW YORK If the NHL and the players association have run out of things to talk about, how can they ever find a way to make a deal to save the hockey season?
It is a question both sides seem to have trouble answering, and not because they are being guarded or coy. The lockout is now in its third month, and there is no obvious path to progress.
There was a hint of optimism after the league and locked-out players met a few times, but the view quickly became bleak. After a one-day break, the sides met Sunday and that brief return to the table also turned badly quickly. They havent met and have barely talked since then.
Now NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has suggested to players association chief Donald Fehr that they take a two-week break from each other. If talking doesnt work, it is possible that not talking will?
Frustration and a hint of anger have entered the equation. So perhaps a cooling-off period would make some sense before the sides agree to get together again.
I think what you have seen is disappointment with where we find ourselves in the process, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Friday in an email to The Associated Press. I dont think its a case of personal animosity.
That might be the only positive development of this week.
The problem with staying apart is that time has become a major factor working against them. All games through Nov. 30 have already been taken off the schedule, more cancellations are likely within a week, the Winter Classic has been wiped out, the All-Star game is the next big event in jeopardy, and the whole season could be lost, too, in the blink of an eye.
Daly said on Thursday that he is more discouraged now that at any other point in the process.
Fehr and the union havent said whether or not they will agree to trial separation from the league. Publicly, the players have maintained the position that negotiations are the only way to work out differences and get a deal, and that they are willing to meet any time the NHL wants to.
Of course everyone on the players side wants to reach an agreement, NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr said Thursday night. The players have offered the owners concessions worth about a billion dollars. What exactly have the owners offered the players? We believe that it is more likely that we will make progress if we meet than if we dont. So we are ready to meet.
If indeed they do not want to meet, it will be at least the third time in the last three months that they have shut down the dialogue, saying they will not meet unless the players meet their preconditions. What does that tell you about their interest in resolving this?
That came in response to Bettmans suggestion of a break, and other comments by Daly about the tenor of the discussions between the sides.
Gary suggested the possibility of a two-week moratorium, Daly said. Im disappointed because we dont have a negotiating partner that has any genuine interest in reaching an agreement. Zero interest.
The NHL contends that the union has submitted the same proposal multiple times without moving in the leagues direction. The union says it has agreed to come down from receiving 57 percent of hockey-related revenues to a 50-50 split. The league wants that to go into effect in the first year of the agreement, while the union wants to get there gradually.
Back in 2005, after the entire 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout, the players association accepted a salary-cap system for the first time and feels it shouldnt have to bear the brunt of the concessions now after league revenues reached a record high of over $3 billion last season.
This 62-day lockout has claimed 327 regular-season games, and hope of a new deal and the start of the already-shortened season likely of 68 games per team on Dec. 1 has been dashed.
It is more than just finances preventing a deal. The disagreements over player contract terms have emerged as just as big an impasse.
The NHL wants to limit contracts to five years, make rules to prohibit back-diving contracts the league feels circumvent the salary cap, keep players ineligible for unrestricted free agency until they are 28 or have eight years of professional service time, cut entry-level deals to two years, and make salary arbitration after five years.
Players missed their third pay day of the season on Thursday, and the clock is ticking toward more losses. The 2004-05 was canceled in February. A lockout in 1995 ended in January, leading to a 48-game schedule.MORE IN Wire SportsNEW YORK Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson and Seattle designated hitter Nelson Cruz have...
