I have done a new interview detailing some of my talk which will occur August 28-31th in Toronto.
The interview was done with UFO Planet.
In this fascinating interview with Linda Irwin of Unseen World, Grant Cameron shares details of his latest research into the consciousness connection between matter existing in all dimensional realities.
Awarded the International Researcher of the Year at the 2012 Leeds UFO conference, and the Researcher of the Year at the 2013 International UFO Congress in Phoenix Arizona, until recently Grant's work had focused on the investigation of 'nuts and bolts' issues regarding all things ET and UFO.
In this conversation, discover how his work is now focused on the source of intelligence we contact and access through what we know as inspiration, telepathy and consciousness here on Earth and when in communication with our Star Visitors.
In a fair and just world, if confirmed, the research experiments just conducted by Dr. Diane Powell would be a contender for a Nobel Prize. The key words are of course "fair and just" world.
Dr. Powell is a practicing psychiatrist; John Hopkins trained neuroscientist, a former faculty member at Harvard Medical School, and a contributor to the Institute of Noetic Sciences. She is also the author of the book The ESP Enigma.
Dr. Powell's interest in the area of ESP was sparked in part by one encounter with a female patient in a hospital ward who indicated she was receiving psychic information about Dr. Powell that she should hear it. What the woman said in terms of information was 98% accurate. It was a life altering event for Powell.
The scientific investigation work that Powell has just completed in the field of ESP was described accurately as "data that could mute the great Amazing Randy challenge." This is a $1,000,000 challenge for a one-million-dollar prize "to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event."
What does Powell have that is so good that Randi will have to possibly eat crow and pay out the prize? What is it that is such a major discovery that it might deserve a Nobel Prize?
The research has to do with non-verbal autistic children. In her newsletter Powell described her research.
Another source of evidence might come from mute autistic children, whose caregivers frequently report that their children can read their minds. If true, that suggests telepathy might be an alternative or default means of communication for those with language impairment.
Parents of the autistic savants I evaluated in India all reported telepathic experiences, in addition to other abilities. Then, shortly after my return to the USA, I read an article about an allegedly telepathic, autistic girl named Nandana. When possible, I hope to investigate her abilities. Her mother described her daughter's process of communication as follows: I taught her how to use the keyboard ... Now, if I ask her to write what I'm thinking, she can do it. Sometimes spelling errors happen and she still does not understand well the concepts of punctuation. If I say "space" (between words) in my mind, she types the word "space" instead of typing the "separation" between terms.
Next month I'll be filming experiments with another ten year-old autistic girl who was referred to me by my colleague Darold Treffert, the psychiatrist famous for his fifty-plus years of work on savants. Her parents were initially strong skeptics, so they were startled when they witnessed her ability to read her therapist's mind. Recognizing the profound significance this may have for our understanding of consciousness, they reached out to aid science, while requesting that their identity be hidden.
The family first thought their daughter was a mathematical savant, because she could provide answers to multiplication and division problems involving numbers over six digits, even though she couldn't do much simpler multiplication. Then her answers switched from an ordinary numerical format to an exponential one... immediately after the therapist began calculating on a device that displayed in exponential notation. This prompted the therapist to ask the girl how she knew the answer. The girl typed, "I see the numerators and denominators in your head." The therapist then tested her with pictures and sentences that were hidden from the girl's view. She was able to type accurate answers, even if the sentences were in a foreign language. These sessions were videotaped by the family and sent to me and Dr. Treffert. They are very intriguing and show 100% accuracy. Are these reports of telepathy real? Stay tuned.
A couple nights ago the results of the filmed scientific testing started to leak out. The results are absolutely staggering hinting that severely autistic children who exhibit ESP abilities may in fact be receiving a pure signal and be 100% accurate on the given targets.
The 100% accuracy has already been seen with autistic prodigious savants. Whatever their talent is they are usually 100% accurate. Therefore if you give then 2 five digit numbers to multiply together they will be accurate on the first try, or if they do calendar calculations they will be able on the first try to tell you the days of the week for any date in the past of future you can give them even though they often can't multiply 7 x 4 or think there are 10 minutes in an hours and 10 seconds in a minute.
Were the non-verbal autistic children accurate? This is what Dr. Powell stated in an interview on June 12th,
Believe it or not but I have data that could mute the Great Randi challenge. I know that is quite a statement but I do. To meet that challenge you have to have it reviewed scientifically and they want a recommendation from some science journal. They want to see it in print somewhere.
This is fresh. I just did these experiments last month. That's how fresh this information is… I have digit sequences that are 18 and 19 numbers long and 100% accuracy. The stats on that are incredible. I even had this one sequence where it's 162 digits Out of 162 digits there was only 7 mistakes, and when told that is the wrong number this autistic child got it right on the second go. The stats on that are just staggering. That's why I am saying it is well beyond the great Amazing Randi challenge.
This is not the actual target but what
a 162 digit target might look like.
This evidence was filed and if repeatable will be conclusive evidence that there is a consciousness element that is independent to the brain and which can make a non-local connection with other consciousnesses. It will be the final nail in the coffin of the idea that the brain produces consciousness and that it disappears at death. If confirmed there would be few discoveries in the history of science that would rival its importance.
A simplistic model of what be going on has to do with the right/left brain and their connection to a non-local mind that is part of the holographic universe.
This idea has been proposed by many people such as Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon. He pointed out that as soon as science develops a generalized theory of information, non-locality, the Zero-Point Energy field and the Quantum Hologram that we will begin to develop an accurate understanding of consciousness.
"I theorize that there is a spectrum of consciousness available to human beings," said Mitchell. "At one end is material consciousness. At the other end is what we call 'field' consciousness, where a person is at one with the universe, perceiving the universe."
The revelation of this new world view of consciousness began in 1935 with the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen experiment challenging an idea that had arisen out of the mathematical calculation of the time that there was a non-local quantum-interconnectedness to the universe. The idea was that entangled photons at a distance appeared to be conscious of the other and any action placed on one would be instantly balanced by the other independent of time and space.
Mathematical proof of this non-local interconnectedness was provided by physicist John Steward Bell in 1964 and experimental proof was provided in a number of experiments around the world in the early 1980s. It became a fact that our space time reality is non-local.
At the same time work done on rat brains in the 1950s by biologist Karl Lashley showed that trained rats could still runs a maze with huge sections of the brain removed which indicated that memory was not stored in any particular part of the brain. Lashley declared that there was no memory center in the brain.
In the 1960s Dr. Karl Pribram noticed that when brain-injured patients had large sections of their brain removed, their memories became hazy but they also did not suffer a loss of any specific memories. He also importantly pointed out that the brain was using fourier transform mathematics (conversion of images into wave forms and back again).
About the same time the hologram was discovered in 1964 by Dr. Dennis Gabor and he described the same two factors 1) like the brain that lost no memory when parts were cut out no information was lost when a hologram was cut into pieces. Each piece contained the information of the whole hologram, but like the human memories the image would become hazier as the pieces got smaller. 2) The hologram image like the human brain used fourier transform mathematics indicated a key common characteristic between the two systems.
In 1977 Pribram proposed that memories are not localized in any specific brain cells, but rather, memory seemed to be distribution throughout the whole brain just like the hologram. He described a holnomic model for the brain.
Next in 1992 Dr. Walter Schempp, a mathematician at the University of Siegen in Germany discovered the quantum hologram while studying functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). The quantum hologram stated "that the event history of all macro scale matter is continuously broadcast non-locally and is received by and interacts with other matter in its environment through a process of exchange of quantum information. This is an extension of the known process of quantum emission/absorption."[1]
The discovery placed the storage of all information in the zero point energy field. According to Dr. Edgar Mitchell,
It elevates information in physics to the same level of importance as energy itself – information if we define it broadly as patterns of energy, so the particular mathematical formulism that goes with the quantum holography is a group study. It also tells us that this information or energy is non-local which means that it is carried in the zero point energy field.
We can then start to say – we have heard the mystical tradition for example of the akashic record. Well this seems to be the mechanism of that which allows the akashic record to take place. It is nature memory system. I have written a paper called the Quantum Hologram – Nature's Mind to suggest this ubiquitous application. It is a mechanism to carry the history of everything and it carries it out throughout nature, and the point is that it is recoverable through resonance. Resonance is exactly how we get information."
The mind therefore is a hologram enfolded in a holographic universe, or as Dr. Mitchell's Quantrek group describes it, "the totality of our physical and subjective experience can be thought of as a multimedia hologram resonant with ourselves and the zero-point field."
Like a piece cut from a hologram our minds contain all the information in the universal hologram. The quality of that information, however, is dependent on much noise and interference there is from the left of the brain.
In the normal brain the left side is the dominant part of the brain responsible for language, hearing processing most of the duties of speaking. It's also in charge of carrying out logic and exact mathematical computations. It is the brain of the physical world that acts as a reducer and regulator producing only the consciousness necessary to survive in the physical world and blocking out the rest.
The right side is the creative side that handles spatial abilities, visual imagery, face recognition and music processing. Most artists and musicians have dominant right brains. Dr. Roger Lear, who became famous for performing alien implant removals, lived and worked in Hollywood. He maintained that the only common characteristics of people claiming the abduction experience is that they were all right brained.
The other analogy that can be used is the signal to noise ratio. The left brain is noise and the right brain is signal.
This can be seen when people are trying to meditate. People will complain that they cannot do it. Every time they try and find that quite place thoughts keep coming into their minds which they cannot stop. Those thoughts are the left rational brain creating noise in the experience which prevent a right brain inspirational experience.
In the same way abductees report that their experiences appear to have made them more psychic. This may be explainable by the fact they have interacted with aliens who are strongly telepathic (the key difference between aliens and humans is that aliens are telepathic).
Abductees report that when the alien talks to them telepathically the signal is clear with no noise. They know exactly what the alien is saying. Therefore, the aliens may be teaching the abductee, or altering their brain to receive the signal with the right side and block the noise from the left hemisphere.
Autistic people have damage in the left brain. Because of this the normally dominant left brain cannot produce the noise into the signal as it usually does. The more severe the damage the less noise there is. Consequently, the less noise there is the better the signal is.
That may be why Powell's non-verbal autistic subjects have almost pure telepathy. The left brain is severely damaged as evidenced by the inability to speak, and there is nothing preventing the mind connection to the information stored in the zero point field.
This idea of brain damage creating a clear signal is also supported by some of the greatest psychics of the last century who reported corresponding brain injuries. Peter Hurkos, considered by some as the greatest psychic ever received his psychic abilities after falling off a ladder in 1941 and sustaining a head injury. Edgar Cayce, considered the best psychic in America, received his amazing abilities after being hit in the head with a baseball( and he made the claim that the psychic material he was providing was coming from the akashic field). Joe McMoneagle, the top remote viewer for the CIA work being done at the Stanford Research Institute suffered from brain seizures while in the army.
The results being reported by Powell of perfect telepathic hits on 18 and 19 digits numbers or the complete hit on a 162 digit number would indicate that the a condition exists where the brain is receiving all signal and no noise. The left brain has gone on a permanent coffee break.
In one interview Powell described that the one child was being taught to develop some verbal communication, and she wondered if this would affect the ability to do psi down the road. This is a valid consideration because activating and training the damaged left brain should in theory create noise in the signal. Therefore if the child was successfully brought back to full normal capability, theoretically the psi ability should disappear.
The non-verbal autistic savants are therefore the perfect candidates to demonstrate this telepathic ability that we all theoretically have but cannot demonstrate because of noise and interference from the left hemisphere dominance. The savants are also the perfect candidates because they are compulsive and very good at what they do. They will not be rattled in an experimental setting because they live in their own world of performance and have the rest of the world on mute. Because of this they do not suffer from stage fright.
It is evident that we are getting close to confirming the idea that the physical universe is only a small part of overall reality. Material reductionist scientists will fight the idea to the bitter end but it appears that it may already be all over except for the crying.
The evidence is gathering quickly that we all have telepathic abilities but because of the wiring of our brains we are unable to pick up the signal. This idea is supported by the fact that experiencer's report pure telepathy during their alien encounters but not in daily life.
The accumulating evidence in quantum physics, along with work like that being done with autistics by Powell, points to the idea that the brain is simply a computer interface between the quantum hologram and the physical world which we perceive with our senses.
The research done in past years with savants has helped to develop the idea of left brain/noise and right brain/signal. This new understanding of the brain has even allowed some scientists to perform supporting experiments in the laboratory.
Dr. Allan Snyder at the University of Sydney's Center of Mind has done successful experiments which work off the idea that the damaged savant brain may actually be provide signal and important new ideas about reality. He refers to the fact that "less is sometimes more" when it comes to the compromised left hemisphere of the savant.
What Snyder did in his lab was inhibit the high level functioning left hemisphere. He did this by sending a series of electromagnetic pulses (transcranial magnetic stimulation) into the left frontal lobe. In 40% of test subjects this produced a strange savant like intelligence in drawing, proofreading, and mathematics. The savant like abilities were being caused by shutting part of the brain down just like brain damage does in the savants.[2] "We all have that information," Snyder said, "but our brains are deliberately wired not to see it."[3]
The days are coming when the general realization will come "wow, I guess consciousness is not all in the brain." At that point the really exciting job of understanding the true nature of reality and the consciousness that underlies it will begin.
Postscript: Dr. Diane Powell will be presenting the results of her telepathic research with non-verbal savants at the 57th Annual Convention of the Parapsychological Association in Concord, California, Topic: "Evidence for Telepathic Communication in a Nonverbal Autistic Child." Presentation will include tables of data, statistical analysis, and a brief video of a ten year old child with severe autism who appears to demonstrate this ability to a remarkable degree.

Savants, Science, and Bible Stories
Imagine for a moment what you would do if you were suddenly, without warning, called to a meeting with God or an alien who was 1,000,000 years more advanced than mankind. If you had 10 minutes to ask questions what would you ask? Would you ask for the meaning of life? Would you ask for the Power Ball Lottery numbers? Would you ask for the cure to cancer?
It is a wild concept, but it is not as far from reality as you might think.
As a child growing up I was brought up with the idea that all knowledge that one could need was found in the Bible. The idea was that the Bible was the inspired word of God and therefore infallible. There are a number of people today who still believe in just such an idea that the Bible or the Koran is inspired knowledge.
That upbringing left me with a constant awareness that there might be such things such as inspirations or downloads. There might be pure and advanced concepts that are given to people through various methods. The idea seemed worth checking. It seemed like a no-brainer.
I have now identified 15 areas where people appear to be getting inspirations and downloads from somewhere else – from somewhere outside the physical ideas of rational calculations and reason. There have been stories such as two independent people who told me of being on a spacecraft and being shown a formula they did not understand, and then being told by the same aliens about the cure to cancer. It seemed like a no-brainer to try and run that story to ground.
I came to discover that many of our inventions and scientific discoveries came from this world of inspiration and download. The more I looked the more inspiration and download appeared to a part of our world. It appeared clear that there might actually be inspired word and direction from some non-local realm.
One of the most amazing areas of inspiration and download appeared to come from prodigies and prodigious savants. This is because they appeared to be receiving a pure signal of whatever it is that is being downloaded. Some maintain that the accuracy of the prodigious savants is 100% and that is almost in the same category as the Biblical claim as being the inspired word of God.
The accuracy of the savant is such that if you ask someone like Indian math prodigy Shakuntala Devi to multiply in her head 7,686,369,774,870 and 2,465,099,745,779 she will come up with the correct answer the first try after only a few seconds.
Then there is Daniel Tammet who sees numbers as colors, shapes, textures and sounds who sees shapes in his mind when he is given complex math to do. He simply sees the shape of the two numbers he is given, and a new shape, which is the answer, appears in between. He does no calculation but always has the right answer.
These are only two of many stories which provide a powerful indicator of the ability of the human mind to tune into information that might be very useful to humanity.
The World of Savants
While studying the scientific explanations for prodigious savants I suddenly had flashbacks of being back in Sunday School listening to stories of great miracles. I have had this feeling before having heard scientists explaining the mysteries of UFOs as prosaic things that make no sense.
What I have come to understand is that science explains nothing. It only describes.
Science looks at events and describes what nature, evolution, or the creative force is doing. A example of this might be the making of an oak leaf. The scientific description of how this happens is that an oak tree makes an acorn which falls on the ground and becomes covered with soil. A combination of moisture and heat help the acorn to sprout and form a small plant which eventually produces leaves.
The oak tree did the whole thing and the scientist did nothing. The scientist simply described how the oak tree makes a leaf. If the scientist had not been there the whole process would still have happened. Yet the scientific image put out by science is that they have control over nature and are busy creating and inventing things.
Like a Bible story science has set up a cast of characters and given them names. There is the oak tree, and genes, and DNA, and weather conditions, and energy from the sun. This naming technique, however, does not tell us who actually did the magic trick of making an oak leaf, or exactly how the trick is done.
Science has created lots of names for things they cannot explain. Science will talk about placebo, singularities, genetic memory, DNA blueprints, chance, and instinct to describe the magic of nature. They however, never explain how the trick is done, and they certainly can't do it themselves.
This is called naming theory. Give it a name and make the mystery go away. It works all the time.
The question becomes - who are placebo, singularity, genetic memory, DNA blueprints, and instinct? Each of them sound very much like an all-powerful old man with a white beard sitting on a cloud. They sound like people who are mysterious and all powerful because they are the ones doing the magic. The scientist is just the play by play announcer. Their names could easily be replaced with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy.
Terance McKenna spoke up about this type of mythical naming when he talked about the scientific explanation for the origin of man and the magical process described by science that is used to describe extraordinary natural events.
The dominant and virtually unchallenged myth or our origin is either that God created us in 7 days along with the rest of creation or that the universe was born out of nothingness in a single moment for no reason. These are the two choices on the menu – neither terribly compelling to rationalists. Interesting to note that this scientific explanation – the universe sprang from nothing in a single instant however we may think of it in terms of its veracity- notice that it is the limit case for credulity. You understand what I mean?
I mean that if you can believe that – hell - you can believe anything. Sit down and try and think of something more improbable than that contention. So it's like they open up with the one two punch and say put that in front of them. If they can swallow that then the hydrogen bond, the gene segregation or whatever will follow hard pace because the hard swallow comes first.
I maintain that it is a very odd place to look. What that's called is a singularity, and many theories require a singularity. That means to kick start the intellectual engine you have to go outside the system and you get one free hypothesis and then once you have used that up your system has to run very very smoothly clear down to the end.
So science uses up its one free miracle with the big bang. Give me the first 10 to the high 12 nanoseconds and if I can do smoke and mirrors in that then the rest will proceed in an orderly fashion. Now that is orthodoxy you have to understand. That's what the straight people believe.
McKenna talks of one singularity being needed but when it comes to explaining savant abilities, science is required to pull a whole string of miracles out of the hat in order to get the whole thing to work within the physical world view.
The general physical based savant theory is that the brain (usually the left) is damaged through birth, disease, or injury. When this happens the theory states that a rewiring of the brain takes place "by a) 'Recruiting' and substituting still available, still intact, unused brain capacity for those brain areas that have been damaged by a variety of developmental, traumatic or disease induced processes or b) 'releasing' stored, dormant brain capacity from non-dominant brain areas which are freed up after the dominant brain areas have been damaged."[1]
Then the rescue brain employs the Hail Mary pass of all singularity/miracles and uses genetic memory to perform calculations like the 23th root of a 201 digit number, or a six year old boy who cannot multiply 5 x 5 but can tell you the day of the week in seconds for any date you wish to put forward, or the famous Sacks twins who could tell you day of the week for any day in history, but who replied to questions that there were 10 minutes in an hour and 10 seconds in a minute.
What is inherited, according to the theory is "not specific music or mathematical knowledge or skills. Rather what is inherited are the music, art, or mathematical 'templates' or 'unconscious 'rules' of those specialized skills."[2]
The theories proposed to physically explain savant syndrome are of course just made up ideas with no evidence to link to the savant or reproduce it in a laboratory. They are much like the explanations or "weather balloons," "USAF dummies," and 'swamp gas" that have been used to provide earthbound physical explanations for UFOs.
Like the dumb UFO explanations the savant theories come crashing down with any investigation whatsoever. If the right brain is rewiring to do the job of the left brain why does it not take over the left brain functions such as speech and reasoning? It takes over NONE of the left brains task. They still can't talk, dress themselves, or do thinks that require evaluation and reasoning.
The new brain wiring simply gives the savants some extraordinary ability to do massive mathematical calculations without ever having had a math lesson, or allow someone to compose 5 symphonies by age five, or play like a professional without a single music lesson. The poor savant is left without the ability to talk, count to ten, or dress themselves.
If genetic memory is involved why can many of the math savants do very complex mathematical calculations, calendar calculations, and yet not be able to add 4+2? What is the genetic memory mechanism for a person's drive and ability to name Pi to 22,514 places, or be able to accurately draw the entire skyline of NYC after flying over it for 45 minutes in a helicopter? Did their ancestors practice these skills and pass them down in their genes? Why are savants 100% accurate in the area of expertise? How can physical genes provide instructions to the mind which was shown by research done already back in the 1950s to be non-local?
In the end the physical savant explanation reminds me greatly of Bible stories I heard as a child. The right brain is in trouble through injury, birth or disease (The children of Israel are escaping from Egypt). The right brain (Moses) quickly rewires itself and comes to the rescue. Then the new brain somehow taps into genetic memory (Moses' staff) and is able to create musical, artistic, and mathematical talents that clearly look like miracles (dividing the Red Sea) so the children of Israel can escape.
What we have to be interested in is not the story but how is the trick or miracle done? The right brain rescue and genetic memories are nothing more than multiple miracles being asked for again by science.
The description of the physical mechanism for savant talent is total smoke and mirrors. It is nothing more than a stop gap theory to keep the physical universe intact, because if the physical world theory comes under attack it will be the disastrous situation described by George Costanza in Seinfeld – Worlds will be colliding!!
A new mechanism is required to explain the savant miracle. That mechanism will involve the consciousness which science has also tried to explain with singularities, nonsensical explanations, and Bible stories. It will involve morphic fields[3] and many other things that physical reductionist scientists will do everything in their power to keep out of the doctrines of belief.
It will come with a model of some sort in inspiration download mechanism.
Until then we will have to contend with the smoke and mirrors.
We may not have to wait to long. According to Dr. Diane Powell who spent the first part of this year doing scientific controlled tests on non-verbal autistic children exhibiting telepathic abilities, "I have the data that could mute the Amazing Randy challenge."
Dr. Powell did experiments on children who were able to telepathically read long digit target numbers. The highlight was one young girl who was able to accurately give back a 162 digit number with no mistakes.

Clinton, UFOs, and the Single Bullet Theory
As Time Magazine and other in the "established media" have been reporting over the last couple of days former President Bill Clinton went on the Jimmy Kimmel show and talked about his efforts to look into the UFO phenomena when he became president.
Not surprisingly, Clinton added really nothing to the many statements he has made in the past. What he did say is that he did look in to the subject which raised a cheer from the believers saying "I told you so." It also, however, provided psychotic geocentric sceptics to claim Clinton's latest statements show conclusively that there are no ETs and the government knows nothing.
The real truth of the matter may be as simple as the statement made in the undisputed Canadian Top Secret memo where it is stated that when they asked the Americas about flying saucers, through discrete enquiries made through the Canadian Embassy in Washington in November 1950, they were told 1) Flying saucers exist 2) It is the most highly classified subject in the United States.
This documented fact would tend to indicate that Clinton would and could never violate his security clearance to say anything significant on the subject. It seems like a no-brainer. To add to this take years later, in a rumored conversation between then CIA Director George Bush and President-elect Jimmy Carter, Bush said "Curiosity is not sufficient need to know."
It has been known since the time Clinton was in office that he was interested. In one story attributed to Ron Pandolfi, the top scientist in the CIA who was tasked with the UFO briefing for President Clinton's Science Director Dr. Jack Gibbons, Pandolfi reported through a friend of his,
It was known among the high CIA people, and the people who had contact with these people (Clintons) that they were on the prowl for UFOs. He (Bill) had been asking anyone who would listen to him, to tell him the secret. You know, he would get some Admiral in there, and say "By the way, tell me the UFO secret." They would just look at him like "What planet are you from?"
Later, Roswell movie producer, Paul Davids, whose father taught Clinton at Georgetown University, had the opportunity to sit with Clinton for a few minutes at an event when Hillary was running for president. He gave Clinton a copy of a Roswell book that had just been written by Don Schmitt and Tom Carey. After viewing the cover Clinton said he would read it right away as he was 'Fascinated" with this subject.
What is less known than Clinton's love for UFO stories is the fact that he was fascinated with President John F. Kennedy. This fascination was fueled when as a teenager he told his mother that he would get a picture with the President for her on his trip to Boys Nation gathering in Washington DC, and then got it.
The story is completed by Webster Hubbell, who had worked at the Rose Law firm in Little Rock with Hillary, and was a close friend of Bill's. According to Hubbell's 1997 book "Friend in High Places,"
Clinton had said, '"If I put you over at Justice, I want you to find the answers to two questions for me. One, who killed JFK? And two, are there UFOs?" Clinton was dead serious. I had looked into both, but wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting.
Knowing that Clinton looked into UFOs, it seemed highly likely that he probably looked into the JFK assassination. Based on a statement made by Steven Greer it seemed apparent that Clinton did not go along with the single bullet theory.
Greer tells of his encounters with a FOB (friend of Bill) that took Greer's disclosure briefing materials to President Clinton in 1993. Greer reported that the friend came to his house and said "The president would like to do what you ask, but is afraid that if he does he will end up like Jack Kennedy."
Therefore when I filed my UFO FOIAs with the Clinton library I also filed for all files on the JFK assassination. Years later when the files were finally processed they had over 7,000 pages. Many however were withheld.
Now in the last month the P5 Exemptions have been released after a 12 year exemption under law. (Exemption for material between President and advisors or among advisors – the idea being that if this advice to the president is not held confidentially no one will be honest with the president.)
It is good to see that some material has opened up. One file still being held VERY TIGHLY that I even appealed and lost was a film that was taken at the 50th birthday of John Podesta chief of staff and the obsessed UFO/x-files man in the Clinton White House. Bill and Hillary appear at the birthday party dressed like the famous X-files character Scully and Mulder.
I am sure no one will see this until after Hillary makes her run for President in 2016, and if she wins it may never be seen again.
In the last few months I have done a lot of radio shows and lectures where I look at the possible influence by aliens in popular music. This research after both experiencers Chris Bledsoe and researcher Colin Andrews indicated to me that aliens were influencing some of the most famous musicians in modern western society to raise consciousness on an ET presence, and messages related to the environment, social causes, the ONENESS or the Universe, and the concept of replacing fear with love.
Of all the interviews I have done the one with experiencer Suzanne Chancellor who hosts the podcast Random Alien Brain Droppings was one of the best.
Grant Cameron - ET influence in popular music
Jimmy Carter has faced the question about his UFO sighting in southern Georgia many times. Today he faced it again.
This is an interview between Jackie Gleason and Jack who was a guest host on the New York WOR Long John Neville Radio show November the 16th 1958 . Gleason was well known for his interest in UFOs. In the 1980s a story was circulated by Gleason's second wife that he was shown alien bodies by then President Richard Nixon.
Gleason: I got this letter unsolicited and it came from a group (8) of atomic scientists and physicists.
Could you name the scientist?
Gleason: I can't and let me tell you why I can't. They are still in government employ.
What does that mean?
Gleason: Well that means they're under security provisions
What do you mean security provisions if there's a flying saucer there's nothing there reviewing?
Gleason: We're supposed to believe the official dispensation from the Air Force. We're supposed to believe that he's flying saucers are a matter of great national concern then I love the same outfit tells us they don't exist. At the same time they tell us that they do come out of the security provisions and they have several regulations that forbid that forbid government and military from even talking about the.
But these aren't government officials? You can talk about it?
Gleason: Yes I can talk about it. I can't reveal the identity of these fellows . You know what I did with Willie Ley (rocket scientist) one night on a show called "The author meets the critic". This was several years ago . Really with giving Donald Keyhoe and myself a hard time and I asked him if I could show him a letter and show him who signed it and where it came from and whether he would let me read one sentence which is all I was permitted to read publicly. I showed him the letterhead and his jaw dropped open. I showed him the signature and it dropped open a little more. And the sentence said quote after 6 years of studying the material in connection with these so called flying saucers we are of the unanimous opinion that these are interplanetary devices conceived and operated by intelligent beings of a very high order."
Now was that letter signed by very important men in the government?
Gleason: Yes It was signed by an important physicist.
Are these men that would have been in contact with the president?
Gleason: No no I wouldn't think so.
So then they weren't big personages?
Gleason: No they weren't top flight men but they were men who evidently had a lot of ability.
Were they connected with the government?
Gleason: Well they were connected with an atomic enterprise
But not with the government?
Gleason: Well I don't know but they were analyzing stuff for the government. I wouldn't say that they were actually career man or anything like that, no, but they were hired to do a job.
Why should then that be a surprise if some kind of scientists or men attached to the atomic research , a private research organization - why should his drop jaw drop open when they stay there are flying saucers?
Gleason: I think he was surprised at first when he recognized the scientist's name and his standing.
That he was on the government team?
Gleason: Well he may have been . I don't know exactly what his relationship would have been except that I would be glad to show you the letter sometime. You could figure it out from there.

50 Cent has apologized for comments he made about Kanye West and Lady Gaga's planned Fame Kills Tour during a Wednesday interview with Angie Martinez on New York radio station Hot 97.
In the interview, 50 referred to West and Gaga's just-canceled jaunt as "the gay tour" (making light of an interview Gaga had done with Out magazine earlier this year), took jabs at West's sexuality and said the rapper was "cool with the gay folk."
"I have nothing against them, but he's cool with them. He goes, drops his video off to them," Fif joked to Martinez. "Remember 808s & Heartbreak? Where'd he premiere it? ['The] Ellen DeGeneres [Show']. He went there to premiere his video. He's conscious of the gay community and wants them to buy his CDs."
The barbs raised more than a few eyebrows (Perez Hilton took Fif to task, calling his comments "vomitous"). So on Thursday afternoon (October 1), 50 took to his blog to offer an apology and an explanation.
"During an interview with Angie Martinez yesterday, certain comments I made were taken entirely out of context. When I referred to the Lady Gaga tour as 'the gay tour,' I was basically repeating what I thought she had referred to the tour in the past," 50 wrote on ThisIs50.com. "It was not my intention to offend anyone. I don't have a problem with anyone's lifestyle and have no issue with Lady Gaga. She makes great music."
At press time, representatives for West and Gaga had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment on the matter. The Fame Kills Tour was scheduled to kick off November 10 before it was called off Thursday.

Perspectives of Men: Texas is the Manliest State
Today's entry in this series comes to us from someone identifying himself as Texas Red. He manages to have something negative to say about every single state. I'll let Texas Red take it from here.
So I've read all the arguments from you losers in Alabama, Michigan, and California. You are all dumb. Texas is far and away the manliest state. We have the best BBQ, we have the best women, we have the best motto (Don't Mess With Texas!), we are the biggest (Alaska doesn't count since the whole state is a frozen zoo), we used to be our own freaking country. Every other state is turds compared to the awesomeness of Texas. I will prove it to you, alphabetically:
Alabama - The only thing you are known for is that Lynrd Skynrd song, which isn't even that good. "Sweet Home" more like "Sweet Pansy Boys". Not manly.
Alaska - Frozen zoo, like I mentioned. Just because you have moose running around it doesn't make you manly. Call me when the Eskimos do something besides building ice caves.
Arizona - More like Ari-boring. The Grand Canyon is nice though, I'll give you that. Still, dry and boring.
Arkansas - It is not manly to take another state and just put a couple letters in front of it. You guys are Arcopycats.
California - That ObiWanKenobi guy said it best, land of fruits and nuts. Your greatest contribution to the world is Scientology. Thanks for nothing, losers.
Colorado - Mountains are manly, but when have you ever heard of attractive Colorado women? Never.
Connecticut - No state with a silent C in the middle is manly. Connecticrap.
Delaware - Who? Exactly.
Florida - This is a pretty manly state, except it is just a northern province of Cuba.
Georgia - You know what is on my mind, Georgia? How much you suck. Paula Deen is annoying.
Hawaii - Aloha is one of those words that means a lot of things - hello, goodbye, what's up, we are d-bags.
Idaho - You da suck.
Illinois - The Cubs are terrible.
Indiana - Peyton Manning chokes way too often for this to be a manly state.
Iowa - I really can't think of a single good or bad thing to say about Iowa - irrelevance is not manly.
Kansas - You shouldn't have let Arkansas Arsteal your Arname.
Kentucky - You get points for making Louisville Sluggers, but lose points for allowing men to wear stupid suits while betting on horse races.
Louisiana - Reggie Bush is vastly overrated, and you encourage voodoo and debauchery.
Maine - State slogan: "might as well be Canada" Not manly.
Maryland - more like Fairyland.
Massachusetts - Cheers was a good show, but your accent bothers me.
Michigan - You inflicted the world with Kid Rock. Need I say more?
Minnesota - Your state flower is the Lady Slipper. And who cares how many thousands of lakes you have?
Mississippi - You rank 50th in every statistical category out there. When Alabama makes jokes about you, you have a problem.
Missouri - The Show Me state has a big pointless arch and not much else. Changing your name to Misterouri would help.
Montana - You have an international border, but here in Texas we deal with Mexican drug lords. You deal with Canadian drug prescriptions.
Nebraska - You guys can husk some corn, and the triple option used to be pretty manly, but these days you don't matter.
Nevada - Two words: Siegfried. Roy.
New Hampshire - Yet another state that contributes pretty much nothing to the world.
New Jersey - Here is a state whose B.O. is sniffable from as far away as Milwaukee. Take a shower.
New Mexico - All the boringness of Arizona, without the Grand Canyon.
New York - Greed is bad, Wall St. And Broadway...geez.
North Carolina - Congrats to Duke, but all the rest of your teams are terrible.
North Dakota - If North Dakota and South Dakota had a child, it would be Dakota Fanning. She is not manly.
Ohio - Points for having the Rock Hall of Fame, negative points for having Ohio St, who goes undefeated every year and then gets punked in the BCS.
Oklahoma - Texas Jr. Might be manly if they didn't suck so bad.
Oregon - The Mighty Ducks were pretty good as far as hockey teams coached by Emilio Estevez, but pretty pansified as far as collegiate teams who want my respect.
Pennsylvania - home of Dwight Schrute and Rocky, but one time I had a Philly Cheesesteak in Philadelphia and it was terrible. You'd think if they name a sandwich after you, it would be good there.
Rhode Island - If Texas is the Bull Mastiff of states, Rhode Island is a gnat on the gnads of a chihuahua.
South Carolina - North Carolina's annoying kid sister.
South Dakota - See North Dakota.
Tennessee - Three words: Kenny Freaking Chesney.
Utah - I'm just not down with polygamy.
Vermont - Verwhocares.
Virginia - Virginia is for lovers. Texas is for lovers, fighters, winners, and for people better than Virginians.
Washington - They just named themselves after a President who had never even been there. If you're just naming yourself after random people, why not name your state Chuck Norris?
West Virginia - Independent enough that they told Virginia to shove it. But they lost a great opportunity to pick a cool name. If their state flag had a picture of somebody flipping off the Virginia flag, they would be manly.
Wisconsin - A little too obsessed with cheese.
Wyoming - Would be manly if more people lived there. No man is an island.
So as you can see, every other state is a big box of feces. By process of elimination, that leaves Texas. And Texas has lots of positive qualities too. So all other states can bow before the manliness of Texas. The end.

When John Fremont walked across the high and cool Mohave Desert 150 years ago, he noticed the Joshua Trees dying off in some clumps but migrating to slightly better environs at a crawling pace.
He called aloud in a John Fremontism for all time: "Joshua Trees are the Prophets of the Desert!" The problem Joshua Trees face today, however, is not just moving to the water, but the alarming rate of drastic changes taking place faster than they can move.
Three inches a year is growth rate on average, lifetimes are hundreds, and young Joshuas travel by seed of sparse fruit - never far from home. Time will tell whether our rapidly devolving environmental conditions mark the end for these iconic creations, named for a Biblical character, armed in prayer and roaming the Mohave.
Joshua trees tell of drying times faster than they can run
If we could watch their patterns like scientists do, and we could track and define their shifting moods, then we'd see fewer and fewer Joshuas thriving here. Many barely survive as thousands dry up and die out in our southwest deserts.
We dedicated a National Park so folks could hang out with Joshua Trees, experience them in natural splendor, and respect these creations growing in harmony like our own sister species in the Tree world - spectacular grateful dancers blooming glorious life in the scorching desert.
Joshua Tree is a spectacular place to visit, and our planet may well learn to appreciate some of the lessons reflected in our treatment of places and trees and blooms and bugs. Local Artist Philip K. Smith created an inspirational modification of an old Joshua Tree shack, a California cabin that reveals helpful insights.
Laying for Honeybees
Recent studies around the world confirm impacts of pesticides unleashed a few years ago on our honeybee population. Along with sunshine beaming and rain falling, the third leg of plant life around this planet is left to the workings of none other than the lowly honeybee.
This blend of pesticides confuses bees after touching ~1000 flowers. They lose connection to the hive, and hives collapse. Most pesticided bees just buzz around lost until they die.
Termed neonicotinoids, this cocktail of chemicals curtails basic bee functions, and then it results in Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in an alarming rate of increases just since being introduced recently. When scientists identified the virus afflicting the bee, it turns out to be a plant based-, not animal based-critter, the rapidly mutating Tobacco ringspot.
International manufacturers of pesticides - Monsanto, BASF, Syngenta, Bayer - have soaked a third of the market with these dizzying bee bombs. Since Europe discovered them, they are banned there for at least a 2-year moratorium. Marketed as Pristine, the German product from BASF was linked to massive bee colony collapse in California almond orchards this spring.
When drones do arrive at the hive unwittingly packing poisons unknown, the problem results in two growth anomalies: One group of these intended neurotoxic implants will lodge permanently in the bees' brains, and the other morphs around in the tiny mites which reside inside like a hidden incubating petri dish for frequent mutations of the pesticide-laced pollen.
Colony Collapse Disorder: just a problem for BEES?
Historic events such as the Plague jump into our world as quietly as a rat riding a ship, carrying fleas. It wasn't the ship. It wasn't the rat. It was the flea that consumed our culture and botched our best efforts for several centuries. Picture a clueless drone bee as an unwitting ship, a Trojan Horse doing the covert installation of torture within its hive and ours!
Almond trees had a new best friend, a chemical concoction that included only a couple of pesticides deemed not quite toxic. To this blend they added adjuvants that first spread the pesticide across the entire leaves rather than forming droplets.
With improvements, along comes a 'super-dooper' adjuvant that first spreads the pesticide across the entire leaves and now penetrates the leaf so it does not 'wash off' the leaves.
According to local reporters at the time (Numbers Ch.14; verse 22 -24), when Joshua reported his view of the Promised Land, his arms opened skyward, exalting creation and praising the spectacular harmony of it all. For this love, Joshua and Caleb are the only two souls in their generation to access the Promised Land.
Another likely casualty may not flutter by as it did before - the butterfly suffers a similar fate as a downstream indicator of how our arsenal of chemicals may be affecting this floating wonderland.
Europe agrees to 2-year moratorium to study bee
In spite of opposition from some powerful lobbies in the European Union to maintain the highly successful pesticide/fungicide concoctions, Europe is moving forward cautiously, implementing detailed and comprehensive studies of the interactions. They no longer allow any application of these products until results are available of the impacts on our broader environment, including the 2-year moratorium now in effect.
With the revolving-door policy interbreeding Monsanto and the EPA in the US, we are in limbo. Money talks. Corporations morph and sustain. Sorry, bees.
The collateral damage is our dinner. The attack comes from interested and well invested corporations, my friends –Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, BASF – planting death to all unwitting slurpers of nectars. Our problem now, however, is there'll BEE no dinner!..Until the bee drone comes to our rescue. Funny how stuff works, huh?

Valentine's Day is a great reason to share homemade gifts with loved ones. Showing heartfelt appreciation in this way makes those closest to you feel extra special. One of the quirkiest yet cutest ideas for a Valentine's Day craft is making felt fortune cookies that can be cherished for years.
• Felt (preferably Valentine's Day colors like red and pink)
• Ribbon (same colors as the felt)
• A round object to use as a stencil (a candle or cup would do)
• A pen or a pencil
• Scissors
• Strips of white paper (like those found in real fortune cookies)
• Glue gun
• Floral wire
• Wire cutters
1. Draw circles onto the felt, as many as will fit on each sheet.
2. Cut out the felt circles.
3. Take the floral wire and measure it against the felt circle and then cut a piece of the floral wire that is slightly smaller than the circle.
4. Using the glue gun, glue the floral wire in the center of the circle.
5. Glue a strip of ribbon, the same color as the felt, on top of the floral wire so the wire is hidden.
6. Fold the felt in half and glue the edges together and leave a slight non-glued opening on the side to fit in the fortune.
7. Push the felt into a fortune cookie shape (as demonstrated in the video attached to the article).
8. Write a fortune on a white strip of paper and place the paper inside the cookie.
9. Give the felt fortune cookie to someone special!
There are numerous ways to do this same project. To get an idea of exactly how to bend the felt into a fortune cookie design watch the video attached to this article.

"Saturday Night Live" alum Andy Samberg returns to host the iconic comedy show's season finale on May 17, 2014. His musical guest will be St. Vincent, according to NBC. Hopefully buddy Justin Timberlake will make an appearance and a digital short or two will air.
In the meantime, Andy is bringing sexy back to "SNL" in promos for the show with cast member Aidy Bryant and St. Vincent (Annie Clark), in which he is rocking a single earring; then, Aidy is overly proud of her "Bebe;" Andy, Aidy, and St. Vincent get too excited about the similarities in their names; and although Aidy and St. Vincent are in the upcoming show tonight, they want to know absolutely nothing about it.
Andy currently stars in the Fox hit comedy series, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" as Detective Jake Peralta, with Terry Crews ("Everybody Hates Chris") as Seargeant Terry Jeffords, Stephanie Beatriz as Detective Rosa Diaz, and Andre Braugher ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") as Captain Ray Holt. The show has been picked up for a second season to air this fall.
St. Vincent's new album, "St. Vincent," is now available worldwide. According to her website, the singer will tour the UK this summer beginning Aug. 19 when she performs at Junction in Cambridge, England. Tickets went on sale Friday for her December tour for which she will join The Black Keys.
RollingStone.com reports that St. Vincent aims to achieve futuristic tunes with her music. "I'm always trying to reach through the time-space continuum and bring something from the future to the present," she told the website. She was recently given a signature blend of coffee made by Intelligentsia called "Bring Me Your Mugs," named after one of her tracks entitled, "Bring Me Your Loves," according to Pitchfork.
The season finale of "Saturday Night Live" hosted by Andy Samberg with musical guest St. Vincent airs May 17, 2014 at 11:30/10:30c on NBC.

Into the Storm will open in theaters everywhere next Friday, August 8th, and what you may not know about the movie is that it was filmed right here in metro Detroit, specifically in Pontiac, Oakland Twp., and at Meadow Brook Hall. Richard Armitage (The Hobbit), Matt Walsh (TV's Veep), and Sarah Wayne Callies (formerly of TV's The Walking Dead) will star, and the premise of the film is that "a group of high school students document the events and aftermath of a devastating tornado" (Wikipedia).
Production chose to film the movie here because it's a flat state, similar to what Oklahoma or Nebraska - tornado central - look like, said director Steven Quale. Some of the tornado scenes were shot right on Oakland University's campus, in fact, and not all of the visual effects will be done in the editing room: wind machines and others were used to throw debris into the actors' paths.
Oakwood Middle School in Lake Orion was also transformed into a disaster area two years ago during filming, and the school principal said it was fun - or at least, definitely unique - to watch. About 1,100 extras were brought in for the scene, and many who weren't extras came to the shoot to watch, which brought in revenue to the area restaurants and businesses.
I'm looking forward to this movie because I love a good tornado film, and also because of Sarah Wayne Callies, whom I loved as Lori on The Walking Dead.
Will you be seeing Into the Storm when it hits theaters on August 8th?

Things To Know About The Game
ECU is coming off its first loss of the season Saturday night at Charlotte, 76-64. The Pirates opened the year with five consecutive wins before suffering their first setback.
East Carolina is a perfect 4-0 at home this season with an average margin of victory of 17.8 points. The last time the Pirates opened their home schedule with five consecutive wins was during coach Jeff Lebo's first season when they won their first six home games.
Tuesday night's game will be the Pirates' last contest before final exams. ECU will have an 11-day break between games while taking final exams.
The Pirates are 17-3 in non-conference home games under Lebo and have won eight in a row dating back to last season.
Tuesday's game will be the fourth meeting between the two schools since 2005.
The Pirates have won 15 straight against non-Division I opponents and 40 of their last 41 games against their lower tier foes.
East Carolina compiled a 6-3 home record in the month of December the previous two seasons.
A victory would give coach Jeff Lebo his 250th career win.
Scouting St. Andrews
The Knights enter Tuesday night's game winless with an 0-8 regular season mark, which doesn't include five exhibition game losses.
St. Andrews has surrendered over 100 points seven times this season.
The Knights' roster is dominated by underclassmen with six freshmen , two sophomores and five juniors.
St. Andrews has seven junior college transfers on its roster.
The Knights have three players averaging double figures: Clavontae Brown (17.3), Kenton Man-Chan (13.3) and D.J. Carnegie (12.5).
Clavontae (5.0), Demetrius Monroe (5.5) and Orlando Edwards (5.7) are each averaging double digit rebounds.
Darian Cahill (Goldsboro) and Mark Chinn (Jacksonville) are both natives of eastern North Carolina.
ECU-St. Andrews Series History
Tuesday's game will be the fifth all-time meeting between East Carolina and St. Andrews. The Pirates have won each of the four previous match-ups.
The Knights made trips to Greenville in 2008 and `09 with the Pirates posting a 94-58 win during `08 and squeaking out a 74-69 victory in `09.
Corvonn Gaines is the only current player to have ever competed against the Knights. He had one assist and one steal in six minutes against the Knights in `09.
Early Season Notes, Streaks And Trends
Senior Maurice Kemp ranks second in Conference USA in scoring with 18.2 points per game. He will be looking to remain the only player to score double figures in every game this season. He scored 16 points during the loss at Charlotte Saturday.
Senior Shamarr Bowden leads Conference USA in assist-to-turnover ratio (6.33) and ranks third nationally. He has distributed 19 assists and committed just three turnovers this season.
The Pirates have two players ranked among the top 10 in Conference USA in rebounding: Robert Sampson (9.3/5th) and Maurice Kemp (8.2/9th).
ECU leads the league in turnover margin (+3.0) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.3). The Pirates rank 25th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio.
Kemp and Sampson have each recorded three double-doubles this season.
More than 55 percent of ECU's points have come inside the arc this season (244-of-379). Last season, only 47.8-percent of its points came inside the 3-point line (1022-of-2136).
ECU has won the battle of the boards four times in the first six games, grabbing over 40 rebounds in each of those games. The Pirates grabbed less than 35 rebounds each time they lost the rebounding battle.
East Carolina has started the 2012-13 season with four straight home wins, marking the fifth time since the turn of the millennium that it won its first four home games.
Leftover From The Charlotte Game
The final score of 76-64 was the exact same score by which the 49ers defeated the Pirates inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum last season. 8ECU sophomore Paris Roberts-Campbell reached double figures for the first time this season with 12 points, including the team's first 4-point play of the year. 8Senior Miguel Paul handed out five assists to become the 14th member of the 200-assist club at ECU. 8The Pirates were out-rebounded (45-31) for just the second time this season. UNCG also won the battle of the boards against ECU, 34-31. 8ECU failed to shoot 50 percent for at least one half for a second consecutive game.
Sampson Boarding Up
Junior Robert Sampson grabbed a total of 34 rebounds in consecutive games against Appalachian State and Georgia State. Sampson pulled down a career-high 18 against Appalachian State then garnered 16 boards at Georgia State.
His total of 34 rebounds in two consecutive games is the most in the past 25 years (1987-88). He is the first player to total 30 boards in back-to-back games since Corey Rouse grabbed 30 (17/13) in consecutive games against Houston and UAB in 2006.
His 18 rebounds were the most since Erroyl Bing grabbed an ECU record 24 against South Florida in 2003.
Sampson is just the fifth different player in the last 10 years to grab 15 rebounds for the Pirates (Erroyl Bing 5, Corey Rouse 3, Moussa Badiane 2, Gabe Blair 1).
He has been the team's leading rebounder in four of the first six games.
Sampson ranks sixth in the league in rebounding with 9.3 boards per game.
Gaines And Paul Join 200-Assist Club
8Seniors Corvonn Gaines and Miguel Paul each handed their 200th career assist this season. Gaines reached the mark in the opener against Washington & Lee, while Paul achieved the milestone against Charlotte.
It took Gaines 92 games to reach 200 career helpers, while Paul did in just 35 games.
Paul is on pace to become the seventh player in school history to amass 300 assists. He needs to average 4.2 assists per game over the final 24 scheduled games to reach the mark.
At The Net And On The Glass
Senior Maurice Kemp and junior Robert Sampson have each recorded a trio of double-doubles this season.
Kemp is one of 21 ECU players since 1966 to post 10 double-doubles in his career. Kemp registered seven last season to go along with the aforementioned three this year.
Corey Rouse was the last player to have over 10 double-double in a season (17, 2005-06).
Up Next
ECU will be off for the next 11 days while taking final exams. The Pirates will return to action on Saturday, Dec. 15 against North Carolina. Tip-off is schedule for 12 p.m. at the Dean E. Smith in Chapel Hill. The game will be televised on ESPNU.

If you should happen to come across the eyewear trade magazine 20/20, don't be fooled.
Sure the covers rightly focus on high fashion and function eyewear worn by celebrities, but more ofen than not the celebrities are athletes and musicians. In fact, "It's really a car magazine and music magazine disguised as an optical magazine," declares James Spina, 20/20's VP and editor-in-chief.
That's because Spina's main interests—and journalist background—are, that's right, cars and music.
He holds up the Aug. 15, 2012 issue, with Dario Franchitti's red racing cap being splashed with milk as white as his Oakley sport shades following his Indy 500 victory months earlier.
"As you can see, if there's a sports guy who has something to do with cars, I jump on it!" says Spina, a self-proclaimed "car guy."
"My first job interview was at Car and Driver," he recalls. "I loved music and loved cars, and told them they needed somebody who wasn't technically inclined, that nothing connects with people better than music."
"I got nowhere!" he continues. "But I was always a car guy: Even before I was a writer, I wanted to get car books, and when I was doing Rock Marketplace with Alan Betrock, I put out a mimeographed fanzine called Cartalog—as opposed to 'Catalog'--and leave it at car dealerships up and down Queens Boulevard. I'd review car books in it, so all the car companies were sending me books."
With the late rock historian Betrock, with whom he'd gone to Queens College, Spina first published early fanzine JAMZ ("the first issue was about every group you wanted to know that sounded like The Move") as a college course, and then Rock Marketplace, which featured classified ads for record collectors and articles and reviews on bands ranging from Blue Cheer to the Flamin' Groovies. The pair would later found the important punk/new wave paper The New York Rocker.
"We were putting out Rock Marketplace in 1974, when there was a huge newspaper strike," says Spina. "It included all the dailies except for Women's Wear Daily. I went there and said, 'If you had a music column you could corner the market.' They said, 'Yes. We need a copy boy,' and hired me at $89 a week."
Foot in the door, Spina began submitting music reviews.
"They ran them to shut me up, and one got over 40 letters! It was a negative review of Eric Clapton's 461 Ocean Boulevard album [1974], which included 'I Shot the Sheriff.' I said I wished someone would shoot him, and they got letters—which they never did--and made it a weekly feature."
When Spina and Betrock launched New York Rocker in 1976 (after selling Rock Marketplace to another New York punk/new wave magazine, Trouser Press), the first year of issues were printed in end-of-run press work at the same New Jersey printing plant that did Women's Wear Daily and W. When Betrock decided to concentrate on girl groups (he authored the 1982 book Girl Groups: The Story of a Sound), Spina assisted on his girl group fanzines and production of an early Blondie recording session.
Meanwhile, prominent rock journalist/editor Lisa Robinson gave Spina work at publications including Rock Scene, and especially Hit Parader, where musician/critic Lenny Kaye was leaving to join the Patti Smith Group.
"So they needed a record reviewer, and I worked there for 11 years and wrote reviews twice a week at Women's Wear Daily," says Spina, who also covered the Long Island music scene for Soho Weekly News. Leaving Women's Wear "not under great circumstances," he commenced a term as art director at W from 1975 to 1993.
He came to 20/20 in 1995, the same year he compiled the CD anthology Some Years: It's the Time of Colin Blunstone, with singer-songwriter Ed Rogers—who has modeled eyewear for 20/20's annual "Music in Their Eyes" music issue.
"Colin was out of music completely," he says of Zombies lead singer Blunstone. "We pulled from three of his solo albums, and it did considerably well and he put a band together again and the first place he played was Ed's and his wife Melani's anniversary party. It started the whole resurgence of The Zombies."
Spina's and Rogers' liner notes also earned a pan from one Amazon.com critic, much to Spina's "great pride." But his attention was now centered on 20/20, "a W for eyewear," he says—not to mention a car magazine and music magazine disguised as an optical magazine.
"The premise from the very beginning was that eyewear is just like rock 'n' roll: It's on your face and in your face!" says Spina, whose 20/20 pages are full of music references, many, he admits, that he alone gets.
"Thank God John Varvatos is rock 'n' roll!" says Spina of his March, 2013 cover boy, and maybe someone caught The Beatles' reference in the issue's cover line "A Day in the Life of John Vavatos: The Man, the Brand and the Eyewear," though they certainly knew at least that the main cover line "Go! Johnny Go!" is a classic rock 'n' roll song title.
Few, however, likely knew that a Varvatos cover story sidebar titled "Greatest Hits (Through His Past, Smartly)" played on the Rolling Stones 1969 compilation Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2).
"You know nobody gets it—but it's okay," he says.
After all, 20/20 is "totally for the trade," acknowledges Spina. "The weird thing is, it's a limited subscription: It's free, and advertiser-supported--but to the optical trade. But with social media now—Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram—we have two million followers, because eyewear and sunwear [sunglasses] are hot as hell."
"But if I have the chance to make a rock 'n' roll or car reference, I just can't sidestep it!" concludes Spina.

The Beatles' Star Club sessions, revived by a recent CD release, have never gotten much respect from the Beatles or fans. They aren't the best quality, even on the new release, but even three tracks of the horrible quality tapes of the Beatles as the Quarrymen were released on "Anthology 1." And there are some really rocking moments on the Star-Club set that are not only great, but also enlightening.
"I think there are a few reasons," says New York Times culture writer Allan Kozinn, author of "Got That Something! How the Beatles' 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' Changed Everything" told Beatles Examiner, one of several Beatles experts contacted for this article. "If you take George Harrison's testimony in the Beatles case against Sony at face value, it's because they didn't like the recordings, and felt that they didn't represent them well."
Kozinn says the Beatles may have also felt those Quarrymen tapes were significant. "There's a difference between the Quarry Men tapes and these: The Quarry Men tapes are clearly from a formative period, and they could therefore be expected to sound like a young group finding its way. And of course, the Beatles were very selective about what sections of those tapes they included on the Anthology."
The Beatles have stopped other people from making releases of the Star-Club tapes in the past, but other than some clips in the "Beatles Anthology" video, have not put the tapes out themselves. And that's a shame because despite George Harrison's testimony in 1998, quoted in the New York Times, that "a lot of teen-agers were getting drunk and playing rock and roll." and "'One drunken person recording another bunch of drunks does not constitute a business deal,'' the tapes not only stand up to repeated listening, but they don't embarrass the Beatles at all.
Beatlefan editor Bill King says, "I believe it all comes down to Apple/EMI disputing the ownership of the Star-Club recordings and the right of anyone other than Apple/EMI to release them. When Lingasong first released them in the late '70s, Apple tried to get the set pulled from the market and failed.
"But later, when Sony released the material, Apple went back to court and prevailed. And that seems to pretty well establish now that they control the material. One interesting point: Although the performance was not recorded by EMI, the band was already under contract to EMI at the time the Hamburg tape was made."
Ted "Kingsize" Taylor, who made the original recording, disputes the accepted story about the recordings that the Beatles didn't know about them. He told Beatles Examiner not only did the Beatles know about the original recording but they approved it. "The Beatles always denied knowledge, about being recorded, something that Paul contradicted in his sworn affidavit in the high Court, London, but it was never used as evidence. I have official copies of the sworn affidavits," he said.
"They also had a copy of the tape from this date, in spite of George's denial, under Oath, that this was the first time he had heard about it. Something else that Paul contradicted. The whole case was a total sham. They knew about the recordings at the time, and certainly knew when Eppy got my offer.
"John told me that they had a meeting about it. He said, 'It was fun, but it's a crappy recording.' How wrong can you be?" Taylor also cited an interview with former Star-Club waiter Horst Fascher, now on YouTube, that wasn't allowed, although Taylor says he was in court.
Taylor has a different version to the history of the recordings. "([Adrian] Barber was primarily testing out his newly installed PA system - fairly state-of-the-art for the time - and sporadically recorded groups appearing there on a Grundig 1/4" mono tape recorder running at 3-3/4" ips.
"That he happened to catch the Beatles a couple of times is more serendipity than any special prescience on his part concerning the band's potential. At this time, Adrian Barber had no facility for recording, It was my Philips 4 track -Twin speed machine that was used, with one microphone, which was suspended from th ceiling of the Club. I still have the machine in my possession. And all © and Authors Right, are to this Day, Legally mine."
Meanwhile, Jonathan Meine of Ox Tango Music says the first CDs have been shipped to those who have ordered them. "I'm very pleased with how they came out," he said.

The EPA is initiating the Drinking Water Lead Reduction Plan to strengthen, update, and clarify existing requirements to test for and reduce lead in drinking water. According to the agency, the action will tighten monitoring, treatment, lead service line management, and customer awareness. The plan also addresses lead in tap water in schools and child-care facilities to further protect vulnerable populations.
"We need to free people from worrying about lead in their drinking water," said Ben Grumbles, EPA assistant administrator for water.
In addition, the agency will convene a workshop in mid-2005 to discuss actions that can be taken to reduce the lead content of plumbing fittings and fixtures. EPA also will promote research in key areas, such as alternative approaches to tap monitoring and techniques for lead service line replacement. For more information, visit www.epa.gov.

Day 16~
Was a day to accomplish Christmas cards and wrapping presents, plus I went and did dishes, laundry and sweeping for my daughter who just had a baby. It was a very full day. Storm Draco didn't keep me down. All these activities involved standing or sitting mostly, so even though I didn't even meet my new step goals, I am sure I will make it up over time.
Day 17~
I brought one of my granddaughters home with me for the night. We had a delightful time. She wanted to participate in my walk at home work out and did the entire 3 miles with me. Isabelle is 5 years old!!
We also went to my daughters who had a cookie decorating party for all my grandchildren. We had a wonderful time. We also went out to supper together in the evening. For the first time in a long time, I exceeded my caloric intake. I met my 6000 step fitness goal for the day. Another granddaughter came home with me for the night.
I had another wonderful walking companion to do my new 2 mile walking work out with the weighted belt. Morgan, 6 years old, hopped around and got a ton of exercise. We had a blast together, working out, playing Candy Land and sipping tea! Daddy picked her up before we got to the nail painting fun. She also had a blast playing fetch with my puppies.
I chose to do a two day organic super juice cleanse today and tomorrow. It releases toxins from the fat cells and generally makes you feel great. Because I had 4 small sugar cookies yesterday and a quesadilla for supper, I considered not doing the cleanse today. You get better results when you eat clean before the cleanse. I am glad I decided to do it anyway.
I maintained my 6000 step goal even though I did the cleanse, but I broke it up with a 2 mile in the morning as I mentioned and then added a 5 minute boost walk, plus a another 500 step boost walk, this evening. I felt I needed it and I can't sit around all day without feeling really dull of mind. Spurts of walking really helps me to have better focus.
I am going on a Spiritual Retreat in January, so I am gearing up with my health by cleansing and working out to be prepared for a wonderful time of integrating new understandings. It is a holistic retreat and I will be doing a lot of EFT/tapping with my mentor.
Right now I am still practicing to be more present with whatever I am doing. Tuning in to the "silence between the thoughts". I heard that today and loved it.

A Spiritual Retreat in January is just the ticket for starting off the new year in a good frame of body, mind, and spirit. I envy you!!! With the walking and the cleanse you should be in good shape and having your EFT mentor is icing on the cake. You must report back, send a Spark Letter to me. I want to know all about it.

Lovely way to spend the day. Thanks for adding to my holiday joy. Christmas is about so much MORE than the hustle and bustle and stress of the season. It sounds as though you are taking care of ALL of you spiritually, physically, and mentally. Good for you.

It's a pretty bold statement, but at least now you won't have to actually speak to the 20 year old intern when she says to you, "omigod, people still use theeeeese?" After she reads it and looks confused, you can hand her a dictionary so she can look up fascist.
