Pelletier Family Pushes Passage of Justina's Law
Hoping to make parents the arbiter when medical professionals disagree about the care of a child and to avoid the repeat of a saga that embroiled the state's child protection department and a family from Connecticut, lawmakers on Wednesday pushed for "Justina's Law."
A Pedophile's Dream Come True – YouNow
In preparation for this piece, I spent some time on YouNow. I wasn't required to sign in to watch live streaming broadcasts. I watched a girl who looked like she was 12 (she said she was in 6th grade) tell everyone watching what time zone she lives then a few seconds later-what state she lives in. The consequences of this kind of disclosure are unfathomable; especially to a 6th grader. I watched a 14 year-old girl walk around in her underwear complaining about how much she hates wearing pants. I watched a young boy, who looked to be about 13, describe his struggles with mental health and suicidal tendencies. I watched another boy–maybe about 15 years old– describe the merits of selling methamphetamine. [Read more.]
Even the co-stars of the movie think 50 Shades of Grey is awful (and maybe even a bit like Hitler)
Jamie Dornan, after spending months immersing himself in the story and the character of Christian Grey, still has absolutely no idea why anybody would ever actually like the books – and kind of, sort of, possibly thinks that maybe the same dynamic could be at work as what made Hitler a thing: or at the very least, has been forced to fall back on sheer blind faith that the fans of the books have actually found something positive in them.
50 Shades of Grey/Perversion: A Movie to Sear the Conscience
Fifty Shades of Grey is (if the trailer is a true representation, I will NOT be wasting my money on this movie) nothing more than a slicked up, graphically stunning porno flick.
Hollywood's idea of love perhaps, but certainly not real love. Love as it was intended.
50 Shades Pledge Can Change Culture
We know that we will not stop the rush to the movie, but with two more sequels coming behind it, maybe we can change the culture just a little and save individual minds, existing relationships, and relationships to come.

Professors For Pedophilia
"A major pedophilia scandal is currently rocking British society, in which as many as 20 prominent politicians, judges and other members of the British establishment are suspected of having abused children in the 1980s and 1990s as part of a pedophile ring. The victims were among society's most vulnerable, being mostly boys from state children's homes. And such abuse, it is suspected, may have been going on for decades." [Continue Reading]
Promoting Paedophilia
"The world has rightly been shocked over revelations that big name entertainers like Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile have been found guilty of horrible child abuse crimes. But sadly this is really just the tip of the iceberg it seems. Not only is pedophilia an ongoing problem, but the worst bit is how many are actually trying to justify all this." [Continue Reading]

Careful what you tweet: Police, schools tap social media to track behavior
An article by Laurie Higgins, of the Illinois Family Institute, on what is really behind the anti-bullying bills.
|Jason Morgan, a University of Wisconsin-Madison student earning his doctorate there, has told his supervisor he objects to the school's mandated diversity training for teaching assistants (TAs) because leaders of the first session he attended essentially called him – and the whole class – racist.What's more, the next session – on how to support transgender students – is something Morgan said he cannot support, as it runs in direct contradiction to his religious beliefs.The letter, sent by email Sept. 22, states all new TAs in the university's history department are required to attend one orientation session, two training sessions, and two diversity sessions. Morgan, in his letter, called the first of the two diversity sessions, held Friday, "an avalanche of insinuations, outright accusations, and suffocating political indoctrination (or, as some of the worksheets revealingly put it, 're-education') entirely unbecoming a university of our stature."
After Told He's Racist, UW-M Student Rejects Further Diversity 'Training'
In an interview with the Connecticut Mirror, Sandy Staub of the American Civil Liberties Union said: "Let's stop the wave of creating these cyber-bullying laws for a few minutes and think about how we can both protect students and speech rights at the same time."
Are new school anti-bullying laws fair, or unreasonable?
"The State of Free Speech on Our Nation's Campuses, reveals that more than three-fifths of the 409 colleges and universities analyzed maintain policies that seriously infringe upon the free speech rights of students."
The Speech Code Report says infringements on free speech are increasingly coming from policies on bullying.
Nick Gillespie contends that there is no "bullying crisis," and that the panic over this issue is diverting our schools' money, time and personnel away from education – all in the name of this supposed crisis.
Stop Panicking About Bullies (April 2, 2012)
|Coming to a district near you? Dayton's bogus bill bullies us all. Call your principal and tell them not to cower under bullying by the state and stand up for what they already know. Every school has an anti-bullying policy and they are working. The Minnesota School Board Association opposes this bill.

Head of the Joint List shares his vision of a shared, equal future for Jews and Arabs in Israel. But is it a vision left-wing Israelis and liberal American Jews can sign onto?
Ayman Odeh, the head of the Joint List, gave his maiden speech in Knesset this week. Odeh, a 40 year-old lawyer from Haifa, heads a list of parties representing Palestinian nationalists, Baathists, Islamists, and Jewish and Arab socialists.
He led this unlikely group to win 13 seats in the March election, making it the third-largest party in the Knesset — after the Likud and the Zionist Union. Odeh attracted attention both in Israel and around the Arab Middle East by sticking to his platform of universal human and civil rights, and for equality for all citizens of Israel.
His maiden speech, which is subtitled in the video embedded below, is a Middle Eastern version of "I Have a Dream." Here is the first section, taken from the text, translated by Sol Salbe
Mr. Speaker, distinguished Knesset, the year is 2025, the 10-year plan to combat racism and inequality has borne fruit. Hundreds of thousands Arab employees have been integrated into the private sector, the high-tech economy and the public service.
The social gaps between Arab and Jewish citizens have been reduced remarkably and the economy has been prosperous for the benefit of all residents.
Jews are learning Arabic, Arabs are diligently honing their Hebrew skills. Jewish and Arab students are being introduced to the great thinkers and philosophers of both peoples.
Stumbling occasionally, perhaps from nerves, as he read his speech in Hebrew, Odeh describes his vision of a place that allows both Arabs and Jews to realize their national identities, but neither at the expense of the other. It is a mature vision — one that asserts inalienable rights without apology, while calling for acceptance and compassion from and for everyone.
He describes his own political journey, from a Palestinian nationalist and activist who was once interrogated by the Shin Bet to a man who seeks to realize his identity as a Palestinian, without apology, in the state of Israel.
Implicitly, he is describing the emergence of the assertive and self confident third generation of Palestinian citizens of Israel. The first generation lived under military...Read More

It's very easy to get into the bars with a fake id.
Drug Safety:
Drug usage is one of those things that you will hardly notice unless you do drugs so if you're not into that type of thing then don't worry about being pressured to do drugs or be offered drugs out in the open.Alcohol usage is only evident at night when people are heading to parties or leaving bars. The pressure to drink depends on the people so it varies.

There's no peer pressure to take part, but it's there if you want it.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
With a big school like UMCP, there is usually a perception of a big drug scene. However, there is only a relatively small amount of traditional drugs being abused on campus. Marijuana and alcohol continue to be popular, given that they are both readily available. Hardcore drugs such as cocaine can probably be found or requested, but rarely do students mix with such "hard" drugs.
In residence halls, alcohol is more often heard than seen ("clink, clink"), and marijuana is more often smelled. Students smoking pot in residence halls are in for a challenge. Resident assistants have been trained to know the difference between cigar smoke and marijuana, and the police may be called to assist in a situation. However, students agree that the drug scene at Maryland is probably similar to most other college campuses—it's not too hard to avoid.

My lecture is entitled "9/11: Time for a Second Look." In suggesting that it is time for people to take a second look at 9/11, I have in mind primarily people who decided long ago that the attacks of 9/11 happened essentially the way the Bush-Cheney administration and the official reports about 9/11 said they happened, and who therefore decided that the so-called 9/11 Truth Movement, which disputes that account, is comprised of crazy conspiracy theorists with no capacity to evaluate evidence objectively. Having formed these views long ago, such people, including most journalists, have been impervious to any arguments presented by the Truth Movement. They simply roll their eyes and move on.
However, both the Truth Movement and the available evidence have changed dramatically in the past three years. Because of these changes, it is not rational to reject the claims of this movement out of hand, without taking a second look. If you are a person who has had such an attitude, you cannot, in the face of these changes, simply roll your eyes without exhibiting the very irrationality of which you accuse the people you dismiss as "conspiracy theorists."
My lecture is also addressed, albeit indirectly, to fellow members of the Truth Movement. Some members have decided that, now that Bush and Cheney are out of office and the Obama administration has reversed some of their 9/11-based policies, getting the truth about 9/11 revealed is no longer so important. Other members of the… 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

One of the most frustrating features of observing American foreign policy is to see the gap between the encapsulated thinking of the national security bureaucracy and the sensible unfettered observations of the experts outside. In the case of Afghanistan, outside commentators have called for terminating current specific American policies and tactics — many reminiscent of the US in Vietnam.
Observers decry the use of air strikes to decapitate the Taliban and al Qaeda, usually resulting in the death of other civilians. They counsel against is the insertion of more and more US and other foreign troops, in an effort to secure the safety and allegiance of the population. And they regret the on-going interference in the fragile Afghan political process, in order to secure outcomes desired in Washington.1
One root source for this gap between official and outside opinion will not be addressed soon — the conduct of crucial decision-making in secrecy, not by those who know the area, but by those skilled enough in bureaucratic politics to have earned the highest security clearances. However it may be more productive to criticize the mindset shared by the decision-makers, and to point out elements of the false consciousness which frames it, and which should be corrigible by common sense.
Why One Should Think of So-Called "Failed States" as "Ravaged States"
I have in mind the bureaucratically convenient concept of Afghanistan as a failed or failing state. This epithet has been… Continue reading

If you ask most people what Obama has done about Guantánamo, most would say,
"He shut it down."
Most don't know that Obama has said he might take as much as a year to shut
it down.
If you ask most people what Obama has done about torture and rendition, most
would say, "He's ended them."
Most don't know that Obama has declared that he will continue rendition,
that he reserves the right to go beyond the Army Field Manual for interrogations,
and that by
not acting affirmatively to ensure otherwise, he has allowed conditions to worsen
at Gitmo.
If you ask most people what Obama's done about restoring habeas corpus, most
people would first say, "What's habeas corpus?"
Then, after you explain to them that habeas corpus is your right to challenge
your detention, most people would say, "He's restored habeas corpus, hasn't
Most people don't know that Obama has said that Bagram prisoners have no
right to habeas corpus and that Gitmo detainees don't have a right
to it prior to June 2008.
The latest news about what Obama is up to on these fronts follows.
Obama's DOJ pressed the Court of Appeals to rule that Gitmo prisoners aren't
"persons," aren't entitled to the rights of "persons," and
that if the Court does find that they are indeed "persons," then US
officials who ordered and carried out torture and abuse of prisoners should
be immune from prosecution for… Continue reading

With the release of the U.S. Senate's report on the Bush Administration torture program, it is now incontrovertibly clear — and officially established by the highest, most respectable Establishment institutions — that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and a host of other top officials deliberately, willingly, and with malice aforethought, established a system of interrogation using brutal techniques that they knew were against the law. Hence the need for the torture memos that attempted to give retroactive legal cover for atrocities that were already taking place at the orders of the White House and the Pentagon. They were also told repeatedly that these tortures were ineffective at producing useful intelligence.
What's more, it is now undeniable that they began this program long before they had captured even one "high-profile al Qaeda detainee," and that they were using these heinous techniques not in a desperate bid to save the nation from further attacks — which has long been their preening, self-serving claim — but instead to produce spurious data about the non-existent link between Iraq and al Qaeda. In other words, George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld ordered their minions to beat and torment captives in order to get them to say something a — anything — that could then be used to "justify" a war of aggression that these grand statesmen had been planning long before the September 11 attacks.
You cannot disentangle the torture program from the war… Continue reading

Let Sibel Edmonds Speak
Sibel gave a 75-min interview to Electric Politics on April 10. You can listen to it here. Mizgin has an overview of the interview here.
A partial transcript follows:
Sibel Edmonds: First of all, it has been documented in the past several decades, the importance of narcotics in the Turkish economy, but also the role of Turkish MIT – that is Turkish Intelligence – and the military having an active role. But you're also looking at the increased role of certain Central Asian countries and the Caucuses, and if you look at some of these regimes, these are the regimes that we have been supporting. Their economies also have become dependent on narcotics, because they have become a major transit – and in some places, for certain countries such as Azerbaijan, they have become major production centers.
After they shut down the casinos in Turkey – around 1998 – many of the large casinos in Turkey which were used to launder a lot of money, that also had to do with the narcotics, they actually moved and relocated to Azerbaijan, and there were several that went to Kazakhstan. So if you go through some of those Central Asian countries and you look at the list of the casinos, and you look at the ownership, you will see mainly Turkish ownership, and these are Turkish holding companies that relocated in 1998 to those countries.

For some time now, many Americans have wondered how Congress, the elected body that the nation's Founding Fathers saw as the bulwark of liberty, could have been so thoroughly unwilling to, or incapable of challenging the dictatorial power-grabs and the eight-year Constitution wrecking campaign of the Bush/Cheney administration.
There has been speculation on both the far left and the far right, and even among some in the apolitical, cynical middle of the political spectrum, that somehow the Bush/Cheney administration must have been blackmailing at least the key members of the Congressional leadership, most likely through the use of electronic monitoring by the National Security Agency (NSA).
I'll admit that I considered the idea of blackmail a bit far out. But now suddenly there is at least some evidence that such seemingly wild speculation may not have been off the mark, with reports that the NSA was indeed monitoring Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), and that the Bush Administration used the evidence it had obtained of her improper conversations with and promises to assist agents of the Israeli government and its lobby here in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), to blackmail her into supporting the NSA's warrantless spying program–the very kind of spying that led to her being caught on tape plotting with an agent of a foreign power.
At the time of the taping of Harman's incriminating phone conversations, the administration was trying desperately (and ultimately successfully) to get the New York Times to hold off on publishing a shocking investigative report by journalist James Risen about a massive campaign of warrantless tapping of Americans' phone and internet communications.…Continue reading
Intro comments from Reprehensor, of 911blogger.com: I met John Hankey at John Judge's 2006 COPA conference in Dallas. I was at first skeptical of Hankey's conclusions; that the Bush Crime Family is tied to not only the assassination of JFK, but that JFK Jr. was also assassinated, with George Walker Bush in Hankey's sites as a suspect. After watching his presentation in Dallas, I was convinced that Hankey is a serious researcher, who raises some important issues. Although Hankey was not consulted for Russ Baker's new book, Family of Secrets, Baker covers some of the same ground regarding Poppy Bush and JFK. I asked Hankey to summarize his take on the Bushes, and talk about the newly re-edited Dark Legacy.
SAME KILLERS – DIFFERENT DAY by John Hankey – April 18, 2009
There are a number of important parallels between the 9-11 attacks and the murder of JFK: the stand down of the most basic defense procedures / the outrageous cover-up and destruction of evidence / and the last name of some of the major perpetrators. Obviously the Bushes were involved in 9-11. Less well-known and less obvious is the central role played by George HW in the Kennedy assassination.
It has taken 40 years to collect the evidence to hang Kennedy's murder around Bush's neck.
I began 9 years ago when JFK Jr.'s plane went into the sea; the Pentagon took over the news reporting, and then lied ridiculously, into the teeth of reporters who knew… Continue reading

I used to take a certain pride by association with prominent Bronxites who have "made it." Cancel that for Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
You might think that as African-Americans, they would be especially outraged by torture, given what blacks have suffered at the hands of white torturers in this country and abroad.
Why is it that they seem to value more their admittance into a privileged white-dominated ruling class than doing the right thing? How else to explain their stunning reluctance to hold torturers accountable and thus remove the stain of torture from our nation's soul and reputation?
One might say that Attorney General Holder is proving himself to be part of that "nation of cowards" that he called the United States in a different context, i.e. our unwillingness to address the issue of race. What about when the victims of torture are Muslims? Where's Holder's courage then?
Surely, I was not the only one stunned by former Vice President Dick Cheney's public admission that he helped authorize waterboarding of detainees. But, on reflection, there seems to have been a method to his madness; and, so far at least, the method seems to be working.
Have Holder and Colin Powell forgotten from their days growing up in the Bronx the typical reaction of bullies when caught in the act? "Okay, so waddaya gonna do 'bout it!" It was an attempt at intimidation, and it was generally… Continue reading

Those of you following the George W. Bush prosecution trail will be interested to know that Patrick Leahy's "truth commission" is a no-go. I was in a meeting with Leahy and four other Vermonters on Monday when he broke the news to us.
We had asked for the meeting to learn why he supported a truth commission over the appointment of a special prosecutor.
Halfway through the allotted 30 minute meeting (with him taking up much of the time explaining why he was not generally opposed to prosecution, since he had been a DA for eight years and had the highest conviction rate in Vermont), he told us that his truth commission had failed to get the broad support it needed in Congress, and since he couldn't get one Republican to come behind the plan, "it's not going to happen."
It was a sobering exchange. The meeting had begun with our expressing serious concerns about ongoing dangers to our democracy, with the trend going to executive power while damaging our Constitution.
"We are a nation of laws," said Dan DeWalt, who had helped organize 36 Vermont towns to vote for impeachment of Bush on town meeting day. "If we have a system of justice, why not let it take its course? It seems to many Americans that the rich and powerful don't have the same system of justice, and they're getting away with torture, murder, fraud, and Ponzi schemes."
By the end of the meeting, we were beginning to wonder whether anything at all was going to done — by Congress, by Attorney General Eric Holder, by President Barack Obama — to hold the Bush team accountable for its crimes.…Continue reading

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

President Barack Obama continued with his latest escalation of the war in Afghanistan
by announcing his plans to send an additional 4,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan
to train Afghan government puppet forces. He also announced plans to send hundreds
of diplomats and civilian officials to the country, in what Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton called an "integrated military-civilian strategy".
Like his predecessor George W. Bush, Obama raised the specter of "terrorism"
to justify his actions.
Obama stated that, "If the Afghanistan government falls to the Taliban
or allows al-Qaida to go unchallenged, that country will again be a base for
terrorists." Obama warned that the al-Qaida "terrorists" were
actively planning further attacks on the U.S. from havens in Pakistan. He stated,
"So I want the American people to understand that we have a clear and
focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al-Qaida in Pakistan and Afghanistan,
and to prevent their return to either country in the future." He went on
to claim, "That is the goal that must be achieved. That is a cause that
could not be more just. And to the terrorists who oppose us, my message is the
same: we will defeat you." Does this sound a little too much like Bush's
excuse for the initial invasion in 2001? I was waiting to hear Obama say, "bring
'em on."
This latest escalation builds on Obama's previously announced plan to
send 17,000 troops to that war-torn country. President George… Continue reading
On Tuesday we posted an appeal for readers to take action regarding a current state of national emergency in the US, declared by George W. Bush after 9/11/01. Since then, the appeal has been sent to at least 20,000 people via email, linked to from numerous other sites, and reposted in full at several sites. We are beginning to get notification from readers of specific Representatives and Senators to whom letters are being sent, with follow-up calls planned. Please continue to send those to us at responses[at]911truth.org. We intend to start posting that information shortly.
Some people have written to ask whether we've completely lost our collective mind… "Do you really think this Congress–who has refused to investigate or even talk about 9/11 crimes for all these years–is suddenly going to divulge honest information about their lack of oversight of National Emergencies, and act to terminate it just because you send them a letter?!" Well, uhm, not really, no.
But do we think some of them will look into it and respond with a real answer? Perhaps. Do we think we'll get a lot of boilerplate responses about "the danger terrorists pose to the safety of every God-fearing Amurikan and so we must remain vigilant," but don't actually answer either question? Probably. However, equally important is simply getting this information to them, and to Americans who read this and had no idea of the situation. Personally, my (Janice) experience has been that when I called my Rep previously, outraged about… Continue reading

On 9/11 the Bush administration declared a State of Emergency (SOE), which was formally proclaimed on September 14, 2001, and extended by Bush repeatedly thereafter, most recently on August 28, 2008. 1 Under cover of this SOE, Bush secretly enacted many extreme measures, ranging from suspension of habeas corpus to preparations for martial law in America; all these were undertaken as part of secret so-called "Continuity of Government" (COG) procedures associated with the SOE, and first instituted on 9/11. 2 and 3
The National Emergencies Act, one of the post-Watergate reforms so detested by Vice-President Cheney, requires specifically that
Not later than six months after a national emergency is declared, and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that such emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to consider a vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall be terminated. (50 U.S.C. 1622 (2002) 4
Last fall one of us appealed on the Internet for the Democrats in Congress to take this statutorily required step, and also to learn what secret COG measures were being enacted under the SOE. 5 There was no response.
In February 2009 we sent to officials in Washington the following appeal to consider terminating the State of Emergency. The appeal was sent to President Obama's staff in the White House, and to the staff of Nancy Pelosi, Peter DeFazio, and Dennis Kucinich in Congress. Almost two months have passed, and there has not yet been any response from the addressees.…Continue reading

[RELATED: Posse Comitatus Act ]
SAMSON, Ala. – The Army said Wednesday it opened an inquiry into whether federal
laws were broken when nearly two dozen Soldiers were sent to a south Alabama
town after 11 people died in a shooting spree last week.
State officials said the deployment of 22 military police officers and the
provost marshal from Fort Rucker was requested neither by Republican Gov. Bob
Riley nor the White House, which typically is required by law for Soldiers to
operate on U.S. soil.
Col. Michael J. Negard of the Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe,
Va., said officials are trying to determine who ordered the Soldiers to Samson,
who requested them, why they were sent and what they did there.
"In addition to determining the facts, this inquiry will also consider
whether law, regulation and policy were followed," he said. He declined
further comment.
Former Samson resident Michael McLendon, 28, fatally shot nine victims in the
town and killed a 10th in a neighboring county. The March 10 spree ended when
McLendon killed himself, and the Soldiers arrived in the hours after.
Investigators said McLendon was despondent over his inability to hold a job
and his failure to become a Marine or a police officer.
Riley isn't concerned whether the military overstepped its bounds, said Press
Secretary Jeff Emerson.
"From what I understand it was a few folks who came to direct traffic
or help where they could," Emerson said. "If… Continue reading

Washington D.C. (March 16, 2009) — Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)
Friday sent a letter to Chairman Edolphus Towns of the House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee requesting an immediate investigation into allegations made
by the investigative reporter Seymour Hersh that the White House operated an
'executive assassination ring' that circumvented Congressional oversight.
Kucinich explains in the letter that, "Mr. Hersh made the allegation
before an audience at the University of Minnesota on Tuesday, March 10, 2009.
He stated, "Under President Bush's authority, they've been
going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief,
and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving" It is a special
wing of our special operations community that is set up independently. They
do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly
to the Cheney office. . .Congress has no oversight of it.'"
Kucinich adds, "If true, these operations violate longstanding U.S. policy
regarding covert actions and illegally bypass Congressional oversight. . .

of this allegation. However, we cannot wait a year or more to establish the

6 weeks are in the books and the Greyhounds are 1st in the west division with a 9-7-0-0 record. With 2 home games on the docket for week 7 there is a great chance to improve that record. Three Hounds were suspended due to incidents from last weekend. Landon Schiller was given 10 games for a so called head check in Niagara on Thursday; he has 8 games remaining on that. Colin Miller was given 3 games for a slash on Sunday in Guelph and Matt Petaccio was also given 3 games on Sunday for physical abuse of an official. This is on top of the 8 games Kevin Spinozzi got for a non-head check in Sarnia.
Friday Novemer 2nd Ottawa 67's
Record (Overall/Away) (4-4-0-2)/ (2-4-0-0)
- With only 10 points the 67's sit last in the OHL
- 3rd best PP in the league clicking at 30.6%, while clicking at 37% on the road.
- Ottawa has given up the most SHG's this season allowing teams to cash in 4 times.
- 9th best PK coming in at 79.3%. That number drops to 71.3% on road ice good for only 17th in the league.
- Ranked 17th this week in the OHLwritrs.com power rankings
Draft Eligibles and others to Watch
Sean Monahan – A late '94 birthday, Sean is widely considered the top OHL draft prospect. Tied for 4th in the league in points, tied for 3rd in assists and 2nd in PP assists. 147 career points in 141 games.
Codi Ceci – A 1st round NHL draft pick last year, Cody is in his 4th season in the OHL. Long considered one of the top defensemen in the league, he is a favorite to play for Team Canada at the World Juniors in Ufa Russia this year.
Saturday November 3rd Barrie Colts
Record (Overall/Away) (11-3-0-1)/ (3-3-0-0)
- The Colts are currently ranked 6th in the CHL top 10 ranking. This season the Hounds are 3-0 against teams in the top 10 winning against Plymouth (week 1), Kitchener (week 3) and Guelph (week 6)
- The Colts are also ranked 1st in the OHLwriters.com power rankings, the second week in a row the hounds face the top ranked team. We all know how well it went last week against the Storm.
- Barrie has the #2 PP in the league coming in at 31.7%. Away from home that number drops to 25% which is good for 5th in the league on the road.
- The Colts PK comes in at 16th in the league working at 76.1%. Away from the Molson Centre the Colts drop down to 68.8%
- Hounds OA defenseman Chris Buonomo will be playing his 1st game against the Colts since being traded to the Hounds earlier in the season.
- Colts 2012 1st round draft pick Brendan Perlini has SSM ties and his brother is a former Greyhounds draft pick although he chose to attend Michigan State University.
Draft Eligible and others to Watch
Alex Fontinos—The Colts backup goalie is considered the #2 goalie prospect in the OHL for next year's NHL draft. Turned some heads last year as a 16 year old in 15 games coming in with a .908 save percentage.
Mark Scheifele—Winnipeg Jets 1st round pick in 2011, played a handful of games for them before being returned back to Barrie. Played for Canada at the World Juniors last year and is currently 2nd in OHL scoring behind the Greyhounds Nick Cousins.
Aaron Ekblad—Last years "exceptional" player, Aaron has don't nothing to dispel those exceptional accolades as he took home Rookie of the year honours last year as a 15 year old. Currently this season he has 12 points and is a +5 in 15 games.
Bold Prediction of the week
Last week I was bang on about the power play so this week I'm going to test my luck with the penalty kill. The league's 2nd and 3rd ranked power plays will be invading the Essar Centre and that will not faze the Hounds who came up big against the Strom on Sunday. I'm predicting that the Hounds will go perfect on the PK in 1 game this week and allow no more than 2 power play goals on the week.

The Dance That Time Never Forgot

Most experts agree that Jamal Anderson (32) invented the Dirty Bird and that Coach Dan Reeves did it worse than anyone.
By SAM BORDEN

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Much like the 30-something who stumbles upon old pictures of bar mitzvah parties where the Electric Slide was featured, over and over, the former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Jessie Tuggle has mixed emotions when he recalls the days of the Dirty Bird.

The Dirty Bird dance is forever linked with the 1998 Falcons' run to the Super Bowl, even though a few of those players would like to forget it.

Tight end O.J. Santiago helped popularize the dance with fans.
For the most part, the memories inspire smiles. Tuggle and the 1998 Falcons were the last — and only — Atlanta team to make the Super Bowl, and Tuggle recalls fondly the bonds he formed with that team. Even now, 15 years later, he still lives nearby and plays golf with some of his former teammates.
But in the same way that the members of the band Los Del Rio are, at this point, almost surely worn out by questions about the Macarena, Tuggle said he sometimes could not believe just how deep the Dirty Bird, the Falcons' old celebratory dance, became embedded in fans' consciousness. And with the Falcons seeking to return to the Super Bowl when they host San Francisco in Sunday's N.F.C. championship game, the questions have only increased.
"Almost everywhere I go, people ask me about the Dirty Bird," Tuggle said. "I mean, everywhere. It's crazy that that's what everyone latched on to. It was a dance! But it meant a lot around here."
Michael Palmer, a reserve tight end for the Falcons, grew up in the area and said he could vividly remember being in middle school and seeing classmates and even teachers breaking into the dance. "I did it — I think everyone did," he said. "If you didn't, people kind of just wondered why you weren't."
Receiver Harry Douglas, who also grew up in Atlanta, said he recalled a similar fascination at his school and noted that "it's amazing what people will go with when you're winning."
He added: "People have been asking me to do it a lot lately, but I don't dance in the end zone. That's not me."
Running back Jamal Anderson is generally acknowledged as the creator of the dance — Anderson's current Twitter handle is @JamTheDirtyBird — though tight end O. J. Santiago is credited with helping to popularize it. Anderson has said in interviews that part of his motivation in doing the dance was to attract more attention to the Falcons; fans had been slow to embrace the team even as it was winning regularly.
The dance itself is somewhat robotic, with exaggerated motions that include stomping one's feet, pumping one's arms and, in a fitting coda, flapping one's elbows as if they were wings. Despite its inherent campiness, the dance does have longevity; Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks attempted a version of it after scoring a touchdown against the Falcons in the 2011 playoffs.
Afterward, Nicks said safety Antrel Rolle was the one who told him to do the dance, and he willingly complied. Anderson wrote on Twitter that he wasn't mad at Nicks for copying him — though he noted that Nicks's rendition was "a tad sloppy."
Critical as Anderson might have been, it is hard to imagine anyone disputing that the roughest-looking Dirty Bird was performed by Dan Reeves, the coach of the 1998 team. Reeves missed two games during the season because he had heart surgery, then returned and led the Falcons to the N.F.C. championship. After they beat the Minnesota Vikings in overtime in the conference title game, Reeves obliged his players by doing a choppy version of the dance on the stage where the team received the championship trophy.
"I would say that was the worst version," Tuggle said, laughing. "It was good that he tried, though."
Even the players were not immune from criticism when it came to the dance. Tuggle recalled speaking at an elementary school in the off-season after the Falcons lost in the Super Bowl, and having one of the children ask him if he would mind doing a quick Dirty Bird. Tuggle complied but was interrupted after just a few seconds when the child informed him that he was doing it wrong.
"He said, 'That's not how Jamal does it!' " Tuggle said. "And then he started doing it himself to show me. That was pretty much the last time I agreed to do the Dirty Bird when someone asked me."
Michael Turner, the Falcons' current star running back, said he had enjoyed hearing more about the Dirty Bird recently because it reminded him of the franchise's history. Admittedly, Turner said, there is not much — "we had never had back-to-back winning seasons until we did it," he said — but adding to what the 1998 team did is something that drives the players.
"We want to make our own mark here," he said.
Turner laughed, though, when asked about the possibility of a Dirty Bird revival. Tuggle mentioned that he and some of the other former players would be honored if they saw one of the current Falcons break out the dance late Sunday afternoon should they beat the 49ers, but Turner said he did not foresee that happening.
After all, every dance fad — including the Dirty Bird — has its time and place.
"That was then and it was great," Turner said. "But we are here now and it's about us doing our own thing."

An electrical engineer technician helps engineers to design and develop communications equipment, computers, medical devices, navigational equipment, and other electronic equipment in numerous areas of technology. An electrical engineer technician often works in product development, evaluation, and testing while using specific measuring tools and diagnostic knowledge to test and repair equipment. This person usually leads a group of other technicians and helps guide them through the testing and modifying of operational electrical machinery.Read More...
Working under the direction of the electrical engineer, the electrical engineer technician runs developmental operations in industrial or commercial plants or laboratories. The electrical engineer plans and accomplishes projects or studies of large scope and great complexity, so it is the electrical engineer technician's duty to assist in solving those studies. Assignments typically require considerable creativity and judgment in order to implement business solutions in situations and areas where standard engineering methods, procedures, and techniques are not enough. It is also the duty of an electrical engineer technician to refer to the professional engineer who provides advice on unusual or controversial problems or policies.
The electrical engineer checks on completed work and reviews it for compliance with overall project objectives. Many electrical engineer technicians are tasked with supervising or training lower-level technicians. A Bachelor's degree in Engineering is required and experience is preferred. Travel is often recommended due to the competitive nature of the field; otherwise, regular work hours and a fixed schedule with paid holiday time can be expected.
Survey takers who work as Electrical Engineering Technicians typically report just a few professional skills. Engineering Design and Electronic Troubleshooting are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay. Those with knowledge of Electronic Troubleshooting tend to be skilled in Engineering Design as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Electrical Engineering Technicians — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $42K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $50K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Electrical Engineering Technicians make a median salary of $55K. Electrical Engineering Technicians with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $59K.

Sex chromosomes in animals are so ancientin the hundreds of millions of years old--that they retain few traces of the historical events that drove their evolution. But the researchers had found in earlier studies that the mating type chromosomes in the self-fertilizing fungus, Neurospora tetrasperma, which are analogous to X and Y in sexually reproducing organisms, have a region of suppressed recombination that is roughly as recent as the split between chimpanzees and homininsless than six million years old.
Suppressed recombination preserves the genomic landscape, because normally, chromosomes recombine during mating, which shuffles the genes like a deck of cards. But suppressed recombination also interferes with natural selection, by forcing genes to be selected or deselected in packages, like the packages of options on new cars that force you to buy the navigation system, the satellite radio, and the MP3 system if you want the side curtain airbags.
The Uppsala researchers' major discovery is that many preferred codons disappeared from regions of the mating type chromosomes where recombination was suppressed. Codons are the "words" of the genetic code. Different codons code for each of the 20 amino acids used in living systems. They code for amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, the molecules that form both most of the structure, and most of the machinery cells. Like words in human language, codons often have synonyms. But "Many organisms studied to date preferentially use a specific set of preferred codons which are believed to promote efficient and accurate protein synthesis," says corresponding author Hanna Johannesson. Thus, they are known as "preferred codons."
The suppressed recombination the researchers had found earlier in N. tetrasperma is accompanied by the loss of th

Florimon was designated for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot after not making the team's Opening Day roster. He hit .270 with two home runs and five RBI in 37 plate appearances this spring.
Pimentel posted a 4.91 ERA with four strikeouts and five walks in nine appearances this spring. Florimon hit .270 with two home runs and five RBI in 37 plate appearances this spring.
Florimon didn't see much time in the majors last season, receiving just 76 at-bats. He hit just .092 between the Twins and Nationals. The 27-year-old will join his fourth franchise in six seasons.
Florimon was a regular for much of 2013 with the Twins, but finished that year with a weak stat line of .221/.281/.330.
Florimon will take Trevor Plouffe's spot on the active roster. Plouffe will be placed on the disabled list with an oblique injury. Florimon has been up with the team this season. He hit .108 over 65 at-bats.
The team will announce a corresponding roster move Friday. Florimon hit just .108 in 65 at-bats with the club.
"Whoever is out there that day is my shortstop," Gardenhire said, per MLB.com. "I have confidence in anybody I put out there."
Gardenhire said he wants to give Florimon as many opportunities to start because of his defense, but his poor start offensively has kept him from being the everyday shortstop.
"He's been fighting it a little bit [offensively]," Gardenhire said. "You watch him with that glove and the way he makes it easy out there, and that's why you love him so much. But Esco has been swinging good, and Santana is ready to rock and roll. I can promise you that."
"He looked fine," said assistant general manager Rob Antony, who watched some of Florimon's appearance on a side field at Hammond Stadium. "It still looks like he's trying to get his timing down, which is to be expected."
Florimon is recovering from mid-February surgery to have his appendix removed. He is scheduled to play five innings of a minor league intrasquad game Sunday.
Florimon hopes to make his spring debut within a week. If that happens, then he should have plenty of time to prepare for the start of the season.
"I think 25, 30 at-bats, and I think I would be ready," he said.
Florimon is working his way back from a mid-February appendectomy and still could open the season on the disabled list depending on how the next few weeks go in his preparation for the season. He hit .221/.281/.330 with nine home runs, 44 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 403 at-bats last season.
"I feel better," Florimon said. "I don't know [if I'll be ready for the start of the year]. I need to get game-ready and get back and play."
Florimon had an appendectomy in mid-February and could find himself on the 15-day disabled list soon if he doesn't manage to get into the lineup soon. He hit .221/.281/.330 with nine home runs, 44 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 403 at-bats last season.
The team could backdate the disabled-list assigment, meaning that Florimon wouldn't necessary miss a full 15 regular-season days. He'll be the team's regular shortstop when healthy after hitting .221/.281/.330 with nine home runs, 44 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 403 at-bats last season.
Florimon hopes to resume hitting in the batting cages next week, but he doesn't want to rush his recovery. "I have to take it slow," he said.
Florimon is recovering from a Feb. 17 appendectomy. He hit .221/.281/.330 with nine home runs, 44 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 403 at-bats last season.
The shortstop struck out three times on the game and lowered his batting average to .228 on the year in the process.
Florimon, 26, has struck out 74 times this season over 89 games played.
The infielder was able to take batting practice from both sides of the plate Tuesday without issue.
The 26-year-old is batting .232 this season over 272 at-bats. He's gone 18 for 72 (.250) over his last 21 games with 11 RBI and 12 runs scored.
Florimon has hit .232/.286/.353 with seven home runs, 35 RBI and eight stolen bases in 272 at-bats.
Florimon will be replaced by Doug Bernier, who will hit second against James Shields. Florimon is hitting .230/.286/.353 in 269 at-bats.
Florimon hit the third HR off Hughes Saturday and his fifth of the season. Florimon finished 1 for 2 with a walk and is batting .230. He was also caught stealing.
Florimon is off to a slow start in June, batting .138 (4 for 29) with one double, one home run, three RBI, three walks and four runs in eight games.
"He had a little bit of swelling but he was throwing last night," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony told MLB.com Friday. "He basically just jammed it, which caused a little bit of swelling. We did X-rays and they were negative. So he should be fine."
"He'll be available off the bench," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I'm just happy he came in here saying he feels good and is ready to go."
Florimon has hit .250/.318/.354 with two home runs and six stolen bases in 96 at-bats this year.
Florimon has made nine-straight starts at shortstop. He was replaced by Eduardo Escobar.
Florimon has totaled five multi-hit games in 15 May starts. He's batting .250 (13 for 52) with two doubles, two home runs, five stolen bases, nine runs, 10 RBI and 12 strikeouts in that span.
Florimon is available off the bench. He is batting .250 and has gone 6 for 21 (.286) in May over six games with six strikeouts.
After the game, Florimon was officially listed as day to day with a tight right hamstring.
The slick-fielding Florimon went 2 for 3 at the plate with a double in the eighth inning that plated both his RBI. He scored a run and added a sacrifice in the game. Florimon is batting .333 for the Twins after he'd gone 0 for 6 in his previous two games.
"It was a little bit rough out there," Gardenhire told MLB.com about Florimon's defense. "I don't make excuses for players, but the weather has been rough and it's been cold. He's from Latin America, where he's not used to that cold weather, so I don't know if that had an effect on him catching the ball or what. We saw him play really well all spring."
The 26-year-old slick-fielding shortstop hit .220 this spring with four RBI and three steals over 59 at-bats. Florimon played in 43 games for the Twins last year and hit .219 with a homer and 10 RBI. He's a career .214 hitter over 47 major league games.
Florimon had tweaked his ankle running the bases earlier in the week but is going to be fine for opening day against Detroit.

The Oaks at Ojai Spa's Legendary Sheila Cluff Releases Autobiography LIVING YOUR DREAM
Sheila Cluff, a wellness visionary who created cardiovascular dance, now known as "aerobics," in the 1950s and pioneered the concept of the modern destination spa in the 1970s, tells her fascinating life story in "Living Your Dream" (Storyzon; 154 pp).
The autobiography is available for $16.95 on The Oaks at Ojai website and at The Oaks' retail outlet The Nest. It will also be available soon on Amazon.com and as an ebook. "Whether readers are 9 or 90, my hope is that this autobiography will enable them to channel the universal language of dreams, sacrifice and family," promises Cluff, 76, a mother of four and grandmother of seven.
Cluff's life and career have been marked by boundless creativity, passion and admirable perseverance, and throughout the book she candidly relates her experiences of triumph and tragedy.
In the '50s, long before the fitness industry came up with the term "aerobics," she drew from her choreography as a professional ice skater to create "cardiovascular dance," adding a spark of fun to exercise. In the '70s when those seeking to lose weight on vacation had little choice but to trudge off to the grim "fat farm," she conceived of a contemporary spa that combined luxurious European body treatments with exciting exercise and healthy delicious food. Thus was born The Oaks at Ojai, which would come to be declared the
best destination spa in the United States by Spa Magazine.
But "Living Your Dream" is also a story of endurance in the face of personal heartache and professional challenges. Cluff lost a son to emulous meningitis before his third birthday, and writes, "Even today, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, reliving [the tragedy]." Later in life, she nursed her husband through devastating injuries suffered in an auto accident. In the business world, she put all of the family's finances at risk to bring her spa concept to life in Ojai. "But we did it," she writes, "and became the first affordable destination spa in the United States to focus on healthy eating and exercise as a way for women to look and feel better, whatever their fitness level."
