Xerostomia , hyposalivation or dry mouth syndrome is a disorder in which too little saliva is formed in the mouth. The normal average daily production of saliva is 1.2 to 1.5 liters per day. When too much saliva produced one speaks of salivation or sialorrhoe or even hypersalivation. When too little saliva is produced it is called dry mouth syndrome or xerostomia, which can mean a lot of discomfort for the person who suffers it.
What causes to dry mouth syndrome?
- By atrophy of the salivary glands as a consequence of an impaired chewing function
- By salivary stone (obstruction of the salivary discharge pipe)
- Certain medications such as antidepressants
- By aging (sometimes by degenerative phenomena, but mainly through the ingestion of drugs)
- By benign and malignant tumors
- In dehydration from vomiting, diarrhea, or taking diuretics
- By diseases including inflammation of lacrimal and salivary glands, diabetes mellitus and Crohn's disease
- After removal of a salivary gland
- After irradiation of head and neck
- Psychogenic causes, such as stress, anxiety and depression
- Impairment of the salivary glands by an autoimmune disease

Lubos Fiser: Valerie & Her Week Of Wonders
A dark little soundtrack that we'd pitch right up there with The Wicker Man or Rosemary's Baby -- and one with a sound that's somewhere in between those two classics! The work was penned for an obscure early 70s film in the Czech new wave -- and features music that's sometimes a bit folksy, sometimes a bit spiritualist -- served up in a blend of light orchestrations, occasional choral passages, and eerie isolated instruments that include flute, harpsichord, organ, and bells! There's a darkly brooding quality that really reminds us of Komeda's last great moments for Polanski -- but the overall sound is a bit freer, and more illustrative as well -- little snippets of poetry in sound, created with a feel that's as evocative as the images they were designed to accompany. CD features 23 tracks in all -- titles that include "The Magic Yard", "Talk With Grandmother", "The Letter", "The Sermon", "Sacrifice", "Questions & Answers", "Homeless", "Puppets", "In Flames", "Brother & Sister", "Forgiveness", and "And The Last".

Secure your fishing pole to any rail 5/16" to 1" in diameter with a stainless steel rod holder. A series of metal teeth hold the cylinder at the angle of choice. A plastic liner protects the fishing rod while drain holes prevent water build-up.
The stainless steel fishing rod holder uses a clamp on system that can rotate 360° to mount to any rail angle. Drain holes keep water out, eliminating the need to uninstall to empty out the rod holder.
The stainless steel holder is a durable fishing rod holder that can be easily adjusted or moved in minutes. A clamp on is featured on the boat rod holder that can adjust to a railing no matter the angle. Two hex, or Allen, screws hold the outside plate in place while another hex screw holds the clamping teeth in place. With the inner screw removed, the rod holder can twist 360° to clamp onto a railing, no matter the position or angle. Once re-tightened, the clamping teeth keep the rod holder in place. The fishing pole holder is manufactured from durable stainless steel that is built to last. A plastic liner surrounds the outer rim and covers the entire inside of the boat rod holder. The plastic liner prevents metal-on-metal contact between the stainless steel and rod that would normally scratch or mar the fishing rod surface. The clamp on rod holder has draining holes in the bottom plastic liner that prevent rain water from building up on the inside. The rod holder comes with a one year warranty and doesn't require drilling!

I bought 6 of these to use as flashlight holders on our police motorcycles. The size is perfect for a flashlight to sit in and the molded holes drain any water that comes in during rainstorms. The chrome/stainless finish looks great with all the other chrome on the Harleys. The price was half of what I found on other sites. Installation was super simple-less than 2 minutes. Shipping was incredibly fast(7 days shorter than projected). Couldn't have been happier with this purchase.

Whoa, you're right about that
Creepy is good. This was always one of my favs from your website.
That really is freaky...especially because she's humanoid and yet so alien. My favorite part is the hint of shine for her teeth.
beautifully done!! and exceptionally creepy, yes.....
I'm not saying you were trying to draw her. But my first thought was the Egyptian goddes Sekhmet who had a lions head and because of the mythology surrounding her.
'Primal' is all I can think, what is it that is so pleasing about black and red contrast? My eyes almost prefer them to lighter colors, less strain or something...
very nice, I dig it the most!

yes, very very very creepy. would be even more so if you couldn't see the outline of the body. kind of reminds me of the bad rat from the Secret of Nimh.

Republican congressional candidate Jaime Herrera told an enthusiastic Vancouver Rotary Club crowd Wednesday that more government spending isn't the way to solve the nation's unemployment crisis. The real culprit standing in the way of economic recovery, she said, is the federal government's "runaway spending," and both political parties are to blame.
Herrera, a state representative who lives in Camas, said what she is hearing on the campaign trail is that business owners "don't need a bailout." Instead, she said, they want government to get out of their way and stop driving up the federal deficit.
As an assistant to Eastern Washington Republican U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers during the Bush administration, she said she had a front-row seat "to watch the Republicans self-destruct" when they drove up the deficit and grew the size of government. That trend has accelerated under the Obama administration, she said, with the $787 billion federal stimulus last year, a $26 billion state bailout this summer and President Barack Obama's latest proposal to spend $50 billion on transportation infrastructure.
On a day when Clark County learned its August unemployment rate had jumped to 13.9 percent, Herrera noted that both she and Denny Heck, her Democratic opponent in the hotly contested 3rd Congressional District race, are talking about how to stimulate job growth.
"But the way we get to job creation is very, very different," Herrera said. "He believes more federal spending is going to get us out of this," she said in an interview. "I believe the spending is what is causing the uncertainty," because businesses are worried about footing the bill.
Heck was in Vancouver on Tuesday for a jobs rally and plans to travel throughout the district over the next five weeks meeting with businesses to hear their ideas about what government can do to help them begin growing again and hiring more workers.
Herrera noted that most political pundits are predicting that Republicans will sweep the election. But she said in an interview she disagrees that voter dissatisfaction is entirely a partisan issue. Instead, she said, there's a voter backlash against what she called "the elite establishment," including members of Congress "who think they know best."
If elected, she said, she would push to stop spending the money Congress appropriated in the federal stimulus and return the unspent money — about $270 billion — to the federal treasury to reduce the deficit.
She said she would also back a "re-do" of the 2009 health reform bill. Among other changes, she said, she would support amending the bill to save Medicare Advantage plans, which allow seniors to purchase medical services and prescription drugs from private insurance companies instead of opting for standard Medicare coverage. About half of Clark County seniors rely on those plans, she said.
The health reform bill reduces federal subsidies to Medicare Advantage plans, which cost on average 14 percent more than standard Medicare benefits.
Herrera said she favors extending the Bush administration's expiring tax cuts for families in all income brackets. Asked how that squares with her goal of reducing the federal deficit, she said, "In my view, it's not adding to the deficit when a middle-income family gets to keep more of what it's earned."
Heck said Tuesday he favors extending the tax cuts for middle-class families but not for families with incomes greater than $250,000.
High-level federal bureaucrats and members of Congress should take voluntary 10 percent pay cuts to send a message to voters that "we aren't going to live in an elite bubble," she said. "We have to get our fiscal house in order and let our entrepreneurs grow their businesses."
In a question-and-answer session with Rotary members, Herrera said:
• The federal government needs to "pony up" to pay for a new Columbia River Crossing. "I believe the federal government needs to bear the lion's share of the cost." When agencies protest that federal rules prohibit them from taking action that's in the best interest of the 3rd Congressional District, she said, it's the job of the 3rd District representative to push for changes in those rules.
• The practice of appointing federal "czars" to oversee broad federal policies that affect people's lives makes her "nervous." "These people are unelected bureaucrats," she said.
• She opposes so-called "card check" legislation that would facilitate union organizing. "I have continued to advocate for workers' right to vote in secrecy" for union representation, she said. "I am not against union members, but I will oppose card check."
In an interview, Herrera said recent Democratic Party hit pieces about the companies bankrolling right-wing organizations that are buying TV time to run ads on her behalf are nothing but a "red herring."
"I have no control over what they do," she said. "All these groups realize the House is in play. My concern is that our campaign gives people a clear distinction between what my opponent thinks and what I think."

Anne Frank House - Amsterdam
The Anne Frank House is Amsterdam's number one tourist attraction. As such each day a long line of visitors is waiting to get inside. If you want to avoid that line be early (8.45AM) or visit the house in the evening in the Summer period.
The Anne Frank House with its "Achterhuis" is the place where Anne Frank and her family hide from the Germans during World War II.
Annelies Marie Frank was born at 12 juni 1929 at Frankfurt am Main-Germany. She is the second daughter of Otto Frank and Edith Frank-Holländer. Her sister is Margot who is three years older. Otto works at a bank owned by the Frank family.
In 1933 the NDSAP with Adolf Hitler as its leader comes to power and the discrimination of Jews starts. Otto starts a company in the Netherlands and Edith looks for a house that she finds at the Merwedeplein at Amsterdam. In 1934 he two girls move to the new house after having stayed at their grandmother Holländer at Aachen.
Anne attends a Montessori school.
At May 10, 1940 the German Army invades the Netherlands and many restrictions are forced upon Jewish population.
On her 13th birthday Anne gets a diary. She starts writing from that day on. The rumours that Jews will be transported to Germany are true. At July 5, 1942 Margot receives a notice to report herself.
The Frank family had expected the notice and father Frank already had started preparing a hideout at the building where he his office is (the present Anne Frank House).
Not only the Frank family hides at the Achterhuis; also the van Pels family, Hermann and Auguste and their son zoon Peter, also do.
The families are helped by the office workers Miep Gies, Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler and Bep Voskuijl. In November 1942 Fritz Pfeffer joins to two families.
Life is difficult. The eight people hiding have to stay indoors day and night. During daytime when the office and basement warehouse is in operation, they have to stay quiet and not operate the bathroom. Living so close together is hard without quarrels. At times the situation gets tense.
During lunchbreak they get the latest news on the ongoing deportations and what is happening in the concentration camps. In 1944, after D-Day, they are waiting to be liberated and hope for peace.
Unfortunately someone betrays the families and at August 4, 1944 a SS-officer and three Dutch policemen enter the building and force Victor Kugler to show them the hideout. All are arrested and brought to prison. Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl stay behind and save Anne's diary.
The families are transported to camp Westerbork at August 8, 1944. At September 3 1019 Jews, including both families, are deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in a terrible three day train journey. Men and women are seperated and two families are forced to hard labour. Hermann van Pels is the first to die.
At the end of Octobre Anne and Margot are being transported to Bergen-Belsen and both die in March 1945 from typhoid fever. Their mother who stayed at Auschwitz already died in January.
Otto Frank is the only one who survives the war; Auschwitz is liberated at January 27, 1945. Otto returns to Amsterdam at June 3, 1945. He knows his wife died, but still has hope to find his daughters. He meets the four office workers who helped the family and they return the personal belongings, including Anne's diary. At July 18 Otto meets the sisters Brilleslijper who witnessed the dead of Anne and Margot. After reading Anne's diary he decides to grant Anne's wish to publish her experiences after the War.

N.A.P. - Amsterdam
The NAP a.k.a. Normaal Amsterdams Peil (Amsterdam Ordnance Datum).
The NAP has been set in 1700 being the high watermark of the Zuiderzee and act as the bases for the constructing of Dutch buildings ever since.
One of the oldest marks is still visible at the Eenhoornsluis in the Korte Prinsengracht. The stone reads: 'Zeedijks hooghte zijnde negen voet 5 duym hoven stadspeil.' This is the only remaining indication from the former ones in the eight locks.
In 1956 a pole was driven into the earth beneath the DAM square with a bronze knob on top indicating 1.43 meter above NAP. This knob is located 90 centimeters below the pavement and the hole is covered with a lid.
In the basement of the Amsterdam City Hall (Stopera) there are three water columns representing:
-The Northsea tide at IJmuiden
-The tide at Vlissingen
-The highest level reached during the flood of 1953 (4.55 meters above NAP).
The columns are designed by Louis van Gasteren and Kees van der Veer and inaugurated in 1988.

text: 1 of 2 people found the following review helpfulJune 24, 2013Reviewer: Gail in New YorkIf you enjoy painful gas and diarrhea, you will love this product. I don't know how this was rated so high. It is sweetened with maltitol which has the above stated side effects like other sugar alcohols. I didn't know this until I got sick from it. I checked the label and searched maltitol and that is what I discovered. I tried another brand and I am going to see what it was. It tasted good and didn't give me any side effects.

While Sundance Selects Grabs Nanni Moretti's 'Habemus Papum'
One of the more puzzling outcomes of the Cannes Film Festival has been the failure of Aki Kaurismaki's "Le Havre," which was second only to "The Artist" as far as crowd-pleasing hits on the Croisette go, to land a distributor. Sure, Kaurismaki's never exactly been a cross-over director in the U.S, but his latest, a hilarious, touching look at illegal immigration, picked up outstanding reviews and audience reactions -- we called it a "pure delight."
Fortunately, someone's stepped up, as Screen Daily reports that the film has now been acquired by Janus Films, with the company's Peter Becker saying, "we are thrilled that Aki Kaurismaki has entrusted us with this jewel of a film. It is one of those rare movie experiences so filled with hope, love, compassion, and humour that it will leave audiences glowing." It's mixed news: on the plus side, Janus' close relationship with the Criterion Collection means that a shiny Criterion version of the film shouldn't be far away from the film's theatrical release. The boutique label has already been making many of Kaurismaki's older works available, issuing his Proletariat Trilogy and recently announcing a set with his trio of films about the Leningrad Cowboys. But on the minus, we'd rather hoped it would land with someone bigger, who might give it more of a theatrical push to a wider audience. It's easily Kaurismaki's most accessible film to date and we'd hate to see it only play to his already small but established fanbase.
In other belated Cannes pick-up news, Sundance Selects has acquired Nanni Moretti's entry "Habemus Papam," which follows a candidate for the papacy who starts to have doubts in himself. The film also got strong (although not rave) reviews at the festival; we called it "bracing, honest and even a little shocking." There's no exact news of release dates for either this or "Le Havre," but we hope they'll manage to squeeze onto the calendar before the end of the year.

Remembering Mary AnzaloneJune 19,2014We recently lost a pillar in Rutlands Southwest section when my good friend Mary Anzalone lost her battle with cancer.
So many will remember Marys wide and infectious smile. She warmly greeted everyone at the American Legion polls. She was an avid fan of Mount St. Joseph sports and worked tirelessly in MSJ development and at bingo.
I will always remember Mary Anzalone for her pride of community and especially Rutlands Italian-American heritage. She could often be found at Saint Peters Church and concerning herself with the people and issues affecting her Forest Street neighborhood where she lived her entire life. Like so many whose ancestors traveled from faraway Italy over the years, Mary Anzalone and her neighbors helped forge the proud Rutland City we all call home. Rutland smiles today because of you and so many others who have contributed to making this a community of people and ideas welcoming to everyone.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Rutland Italian-American Club. I and other Rutland City and Town state representatives this year sponsored a General Assembly resolution honoring this Rutland City landmark. I wish to dedicate this honor to Mary Anzalone and to all those members of our community with Italian heritage.

Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I've been doing a lot of searching for a while and I'm really searching for the best I can get for my money. I've talked to my LBS's and they're willing to service anything, even BD bikes. I was thinking for a long time about buying a MB and having a local shop tear it down and build it up. But in the search for a Ti bike I came across GVH Bikes, a couple emails and now I'm considering having them build a SRAM Rival bike for me, or buy their build kit and have a local shop build my bike.
I've seen some OEM carbon frames on the bay and things like the Pedal Force and the group buy currently being organized. I have a lot of experience with OEM manufacturers (albeit not with the cycling industry) and generally you see "buddies" of the factory getting the same stuff, unbranded at "good guy pricing". But I feel a bit hesitant about buying a "generic" even compared to a MB or a used frame, are my concerns warranted?
FWIW I'd rather buy an all American (or European) bike for personal reasons, but they are very expensive and I still have Tuition and gas bills.

When I work with Perl I'm often performing a task where I need to read from a text file, and many times all I have to do is read one record from the file. This happened again today, where I have a text file that just contains one pid (process id), and I just need to get that pid right before I do some other work.
Today I wrote a little subroutine named
get_record to handle this function for me. I just pass in the name of the file I want to read from, and the Perl subroutine opens the file, gets the record, and returns the record from the file. Here's my free source code for this example:
sub get_record { # the filename should be passed in as a parameter my $filename = shift; open FILE, $filename or die "Could not read from $filename, program halting."; # read the record, and chomp off the newline chomp(my $record = <FILE>); close FILE; return $record; } # a test to show how to call my function $text = &get_record('pid.dat'); print "text = $text\n";
If you need an example of how to read one line from a text file in a Perl script, I hope this example is helpful.

It was my pleasure to see the famous Julie Lockhart racing in Gloucester this weekend. SHE RAWKS! An inspiration to us all to stay fit and happy.
Equality inspiring were the mini juniors on what looked like 1/4 scale cross bikes. These micro racers were hitting the barriers with young men better then twice there size! There was one pint sized hero that seemed half the size of the barrier! He had a mid pack finish!
I need to try this!

WARSAW, Poland — A new dispute concerning World War II remembrance has erupted between Poland and Russia — the third such controversy in recent weeks and a sign of deteriorating relations between the two neighbors over Russian actions in Ukraine.
OSWIECIM, Poland — The voices of Auschwitz survivors praying for their murdered loved ones reverberated Monday amid the barracks and barbed wire of the former Nazi death camp, with one survivor crying out in a pained voice: "I don't want to come here anymore!"
WARSAW, Poland - Russia accused Poland of engaging in a "mockery of history" after the Polish foreign minister credited Ukrainian soldiers, rather than the Soviet Red Army, with liberating Auschwitz 70 years ago.
WARSAW, Poland -- Napoleon is now back with his Antosia.
The two amorous donkeys who were separated because of an outcry over their lovemaking have been reunited at a zoo in Poland.
WARSAW, Poland - Interference from "abroad" could be behind the eavesdropping of the compromising conversation between two Polish top leaders, some claim as a political scandal grows and threatens to topple the government in the Eastern European country.
WARSAW, Poland - Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, the survivor of a Siberian labor camp, was an unlikely servant to the Soviet Union and its communist ideology.
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Sirens wailed and church bells tolled in Warsaw as largely Roman Catholic Poland paid homage Friday to the Jewish fighters who rose up 70 years ago against German Nazi forces in the Warsaw ghetto uprising.
As the sun rose from time zone to time zone across the world on Friday, there was still no sign of the world's end - but that didn't stop those convinced that a 5,125-year Mayan calendar predicts the apocalypse from gathering at some of the world's purported survival hot spots.
Though the Mayans never really predicted that the world would end on Friday, some New Agers are convinced that humanity's demise is indeed imminent. Or at least that it's a good excuse for a party.
WARSAW, Poland — For decades, nobody really talked about them: the thousands of Poles, mostly Roman Catholics, who risked their lives during World War II to save Jewish friends, neighbors and even strangers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Angel Pagan let out a cheer as he ran in from center field with both arms raised after catching the final out to secure San Francisco's second NL West crown in three seasons.
Sure, the outfield around him looks a whole lot different these days than it did a month and a half ago when suspended All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera was still around leading the way.
The Giants were never fooled. They knew full well that much of the baseball world figured this club would flop after losing its best hitter to a 50-game suspension in mid-August for a positive testosterone test.
Hardly. The Giants forgot about it in a hurry and kept on winning.
Now, they have plenty of time to put together their playoff roster and rotation.

Groovy Kind of Inspiration
On Saturday I took a peek at the SCS inspiration challenge. This week's piece is a fun, colorful quilt from Garnet Hill. I zeroed in on the brown fabric with the blue and red flowers. It makes for a groovy kind of color combo, don't you think? And, look, my Swiss Dots are back. Shocking, huh? ;) I can never go more than a few days without that particular embossing folder. Oh well!
The flowers are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored the petals with a Soft Sky reinker and Fantastix brushes. The flower centers are 1/4" red circles topped with Crystal Effects.
Thanks for visiting!

If you are a Fighting type, you are advised to stay out of the South Atlantic, where Hurricane Mewtwo is churning up the coast blasting whatever it can. Dark types are requested to help stem the tide.
Joking aside, legendaries typically are banned from certain activities, but some contests might allow for such a Pokémon.

We spend one-third of our lives asleep, so we'd be crazy not to make good use of all those hours of shut-eye. This powerful (and 100% natural) cream from HAVVN is 22 years in the making, created by a physics professor who was determined to make an antiaging formula without all of the harsh chemicals found in most overnight treatments. Throw on your PJs and eye mask and hop in bed—this night owl has work to do.
I've never heard of this company before I received my Birchbox sample. I was very impressed with this product. I love how thick the cream is and I also love the smell. My skin felt softer and smoother the morning after use. I am also impressed that I can actually pronounce the ingredients!5
It's amazing what the right night cream can do for your skin. I'm not typically a natural product lover, but this night cream from Havvn changed my mind!! I used to wake up with puffy eyes and dry skin. After the first week of using Havvn I actually looked BETTER first thing in the morning than I did with a face of makeup. And to to it all off, the product is 100% natural-and organic :) Thank you Birchbox!5
I'll be honest, I have a hard time forcing myself to go through my nightly face cleansing ritual. I usually want to fall into bed and not worry about makeup removal, etc. This night cream kind of motivated me to remove my makeup and wash my face, just so I could go to sleep with it on. I loved the way it worked and could tell a difference in how refresh my face looked after using it for a while. Will be purchasing again.5
My face can get particularly dry in the winter months (as in, roughs up and gets white and patchy in areas). I must have received this sample in a box or as a free gift because I recently rediscovered it and tested it out.
All I can say is, wow! Sure the product is thick and goopy to rub in, but once absorbed it's pretty matte. You just have to be sure to work it into your skin completely. After being outside for 5.5 hours in 20 degree weather (red faced and windburned), this product was a perfect way to recoup - with beauty rest of course! I'll be purchasing my full size product very soon.
It also smells very herbal like...Rosemary? So if that's not your thing, you may want to skip it.

By a vote of 283-138, the House of Representatives passed the "Secure Fence Act of 2006" (and here). The Federation for American Immigration Reform reports:
Today's approval of H.R. 6061, The Secure Fence Act, is an important first step in regaining operational control over our borders and immigration policy, and we applaud the House leadership for bringing it to the floor, declared the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). H.R. 6061 requires the Department of Homeland Security to construct 700 miles of border fencing (FAIR advocates for 2,000 miles of fencing) and increase the use of technology at the border. After months of an immigration stand-off and attempts to link immigration enforcement with an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, today's passage of H.R.6061 marks the first mile in a marathon towards achieving true enforcement of our nation's immigration laws.
It's said that a drowning man will grab a razor blade. I was reminded of that truism when I received an old news story about how a border fence would allegedly "destroy endangered species and ecosystems:"
More border walls, militarization, low-level aircraft and roads would further damage already-stressed wildlife and places, such as the Cactus Pygmy Owl and Sonoran Pronghorn in Arizona, Flat-Tailed Horned Lizard and Peninsular Ranges Bighorn Sheep in California, Jaguar and Mexican Gray Wolves in New Mexico, and the Rio Grande River, Ocelot, and Big Bend National Park in Texas. Triple walls are harmful to wildlife, blocking migration corridors and destroying valuable habitat. The distance of the triple wall -- 370 miles -- is approximately the distance of the entire border in Arizona.
Question: What about endangered American middle-class taxpayers who are paying the high cost of the border invaders?

In stark contrast to five years ago when there was not a cloud in the sky, the sky was crying in the nation's capitol on the fifth anniversary of 9/11.The heavens were crying over the tens of thousands of innocent lives that have been lost in President Bush's senseless war in Iraq. In the so-called "war on terror," Bush's lies have given birth to the next generation of terrorists.As I walked around DC, I was saddened by the proliferation of security barricades around federal buildings. These symbols of homeland security foster a climate of fear that Bush has used to gain partisan advantage (and here). At the same, time, they are concrete evidence of Beltway bandits and war profiteers feeding at the homeland security trough.I had planned to attend the commemoration at the U.S. Capitol. On further reflection, I decided I've heard enough from members of Congress who swallowed Bush's lies about Saddam Hussein's ties to al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden's trail has gone cold (and here).I spent a good part of the day at the National Portrait Gallery. I took comfort and reflected amid the portraits of giants, including Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Sojourner Truth, Cinqué, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall.

Like all people of goodwill, I'm thankful that the British intelligence agencies foiled the alleged plot to blow up some U.S.-bound airplanes. Still, there is the lingering suspicion that Republicans are playing politics with the terrorist threat (here and here).
The London bomb threat lays bare the hollowness of President Bush's claim (and here) that Iraq is the "central front" on the "war on terror," and "our Nation is safer than it was prior to September the 11th." If being bogged down in Iraq made us safer, I would be able to fix my face on my flight to Nashville tomorrow.
And it's not just the 60 percent of Americans who oppose the war in Iraq who feel betrayed. In his new book, Richard Viguerie, the "funding father" of the conservative movement, documents how Bush and Congressional Republicans have betrayed conservatives. Even if you think it's good news that the conservative movement was hijacked, you should pay attention to their guru.I met Viguerie in June at the Media Giraffe conference. He recounted how conservatives used direct mail to go around the mainstream media gatekeepers. Viguerie said: "Without direct mail, there would be no conservative movement -- no Reagan, no Republican Revolution, no Bush."
And I should add, no Karl Rove, who was a direct mail strategist in Austin, Tex., for 17 years before inflicting George Bush on the world.

The Minutemen are coming. And in a New York minute, the May 1 Immigrants Rights Coalition and other illegal immigrant advocates organized a counter-protest.But it will take more than some flag-waving illegals to deter Americans like Minutemen Founder Jim Gilchrist, author of the new book, "Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders." Gilchrist is coming to Ground Zero with a message for those who would surrender our sovereignty to foreign nationals:
The threat posed by out-of-control illegal immigration extends way beyond the border states, and our whole republic is threatened… Why does our government want to keep the true costs of illegal immigration hidden from the public? And why are American taxpayers forced to pay the staggering economic and cultural price tag of illegal immigration?

Over the weekend, I attended the Harlem Book Fair. One of the highlights was a panel discussion on the roles and responsibilities of the black media that was aired live on Book TV. The discussion was moderated by the inestimable Cathy Hughes, founder and chairwoman of Radio One. The panelists included Dick Gregory, Roland Martin and Juan Williams. The speakers reminded the Schomburg Center and C-SPAN audiences that the black press dates back to 1827 and the founding of "Freedom's Journal."Then as now, "we wish to plead our own cause. Too long have others spoken for us." Indeed, there's an African proverb that says, "Until the lion writes his own history, the account of the hunt will always glorify the hunter."
The black media – both old and new – continue to play a vital role in telling our stories and glorifying our accomplishments. And with the rise of disruptive technologies, Dick Gregory said the mainstream media "have to think twice because there's another voice out there that can put in what you left out."As Cathy Hughes teaches us, information is power.

Big Daddy George "Yo Blair" Bush has apparently been listening to Queen Latifah. President Bush reportedly will make an appeal for "unity" when he speaks before the NAACP convention today.Earlier this week, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow offered up this gem:
He has an important role to play not only in making the case for civil rights, but maybe more importantly, the case for unity. Because as long as we have a nation that in any way is divided along racial lines or where politics become a source of division rather than one of simple debate and trying to perfect democracy (emphasis added) that's a problem.
So that's what Bush was doing in Florida, Ohio and Georgia -- perfecting democracy.Fact is, Bush has made the case for unity against Republicans. According to the latest Gallup Minority Rights and Relations Poll:
[There is] little evidence that the Republicans have made any headway in the black community to date…More than 8 in 10 black registered voters (83%) say they would vote for the Democratic candidate in the congressional district; only 13% would vote for the Republican candidate. Views among black voters are essentially the same as they were in the 2004 election.The survey also shows that very few blacks in the U.S. today identify themselves as Republicans: Sixty-two percent of blacks interviewed identified themselves as Democrats, 31% as independents, and just 7% as Republicans. Along these same lines, the survey shows that only 15% of blacks say they approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president, while 78% disapprove (emphasis added).
In plain English, there's unity in the community.
