Spring has sprung, the temperatures are rising and that means my craving for ice cream is coming to a boil. And living in the South I guess I've gotten used to two things when the weather heats up. The heat and fried foods. So I like to bump up my cholesterol a smidge by cooling off with some fried ice cream.
Deep-fried ice cream? Hey, it's the South.
The ice cream sundae and deep-fried ice cream both made their debut at the 1893 Chicago World Fair and they've been around ever since. I know what alert readers are thinking. "Can't he cook anything normal?" If Chi-Chi-s can do it, then so can I.
As we kick it in to another hot sultry summer let's explore a sexy take on an American standard. Let's put the skeptics to rest and try these tasty treats at home, shall we?
Fried Ice Cream
Fried Ice Cream
½ Gal. French Vanilla Ice Cream
3 Cups Cornflakes, Crushed
4 Tsps. Cinnamon
Scoop 10-12 balls of ice cream and place on a wax-lined cookie sheet. Freeze overnight.
In a bowl combine cornflakes and cinnamon. Roll frozen ice cream in the mixture and place each ball in a freezer bag. Again, freeze overnight. Make sure they are good and solid.
Heat deep-fryer and fry each scoop on at a time until crisp about 15-20 seconds. Serve in chilled bowls and top. More about the toppings later.
Fried Banana Split
Fried Banana Split Sundae
1 egg, Beaten
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Flour
Bananas, Peeled
Chocolate Syrup
Butterscotch Sauce
1 Large Scoop each, Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry Ice Cream
Whipped Cream
Crushed Nuts
Maraschino Cherry
Combine egg, cream and flour.
Heat oil in fryer, cut the bananas in half lengthwise and dip in egg mixture. Fry the banana halves until golden brown, remove and strain.
Place the bananas along the sides of an oval sundae dish and place the scoops of ice cream in the middle. Top the sundae with syrup, sauce, pineapple chunks, strawberries, whipped cream, go nuts
Use your imagination when frying ice cream. Fresh cut fruit, hot fudge, flavored whipped cream. For a Mexican style fried ice cream, use crushed tortilla chips instead of cornflakes. Many Mexican fried ice creams are drizzled with honey or agave nectar. If you can't use agave nectar use margarita mix. Substitute pistachios or macadamia nuts for peanuts or walnuts.
Face it, it's going to get hot there before you know it, so cool down with some fried ice cream.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease. In 1998 I founded The Gluten-Free Mall, Your Special Diet Superstore!, and I am the co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of Journal of Gluten Sensitivity.View all articles by Scott Adams
This recipe comes to us from Jay Berger and Kim.
2 tablespoon
olive oil
2 medium sized onions, finely chopped
2 med sized garlic gloves, crushed
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey
8 oz sliced mushrooms
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 c dry red wine (I substitute water when making gluten-free, casein-free)
2 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
2 teaspoon dried leaf savory (or ground)
½ teaspoon dried leaf thyme
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoon salt (I use sea salt for corn free)
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
any beans if you like
In a large saucepan, heat oil over med heat. Add onions, garlic, paprika, red pepper, cumin and coriander and sauté 2-3 minutes. Add turkey or ground beef, mushrooms and increase heat to high and sauté until meat is no longer pink, 7-10 min, stir to break up big chunks. Stir in remaining ingredients except beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer briskly, stirring occasionally until mixture is fairly thick, but still liquid (about 1 - ¼ hours). Add beans and simmer about 15 min more. Makes 4-6 servings.

We Wanna Gangbang Your Mom 11
Hey, dude, I don't really know how to tell you this but when you had that pool party the other night I started talking to your mom and the subject soon turned to sex. She must be one horny lady, because before I knew it she was telling me she could take on the whole room of us guys! I thought she was kidding, but this afternoon she called me and said she'd be alone in the house tonight if me and my buddies wanted to come over for a private party. Guess were going to gangbang your mom!

Broadway has had quite an infusion of shows with rock music the last few years. At last count, there were 8 - 9 shows featuing this genre of music. By coincidence, or perhaps design, nearly half of these shows are being performed on 44th Street.
There are 5 major Broadway theaters on W. 44th Street between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Of those 5, four of them have shows that have to do with a rock theme. A fan of this genre could start with music representing the 50's, walk down the street and enter a theater featuring music from the 60's, rock out to 80's music, and finish with 21st Century sounds. Let's look from this chronological viewpoint at these shows:
1. Memphis the Musical at the Shubert Theater - The show that won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical is the dynamic story of underground dance clubs of 1950's Memphis, Tennessee. But more than that, the storyline centers on a white radio DJ who wants to change the world. The story also tells about a black club singer ready for her big break. The concept of integration in music is based on actual events. The original score for the show was written by David Bryan, a founding member of the rock band Bon Jovi. He also won the Tony Award in 2010 for Best Original Score. Visit the show's website to hear some of the music from the show.
2. Baby It's You! at the Broadhurst Theater - Think back to the late 1950's and early 1960's when the Girl Groups were starting to come into prominence and you have some of the music featured in this show. The main storyline is about Florence Greenberg, the first woman to own a major record label and who also discovered and promoted the Shirelles. You'll hear the hit song "Dedicated to the One I Love" and other Shirelle classics. Addtionally, the story includes other well known groups' music such as "Shout," "Louie, Louie," and "It's My Party." The show's website has videos of some of the music performed from the show.
3. Rock of Ages at the Helen Hayes Theater - Nominated for 5 Tony Awards, this show has moved to its new home at the Helen Hayes after a successful near 2 year run at the Brooks Atkinson Theater on 47th Street. The music of the "big hair bands" of the 1980's is used to tell the story of a young man and a young woman who come to the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles with big dreams of becoming stars. Right as they get together, problems with the Sunset Strip and a washed up rock star hone in on their lives. It is a happy ending and audiences enjoy rocking out to songs by Journey such as "Don't Stop Believing," and "Here I Go Again." There are a number of songs from artists from the era whose music is a part of the show. "I Wanna Rock" and "Cum on Feel the Noise" are show stoppers. Visit the show's website for more information.
4. American Idiot at the St. James Theater - Although this show is due to close in April, 2011, it has had a successful run on 44th Street for well over a year. Nominated for a number of Tony Awards in 2010, the music comes directly from the hit band Green Day and their album of the same name. The storyline centers on today's post 9/11 youth and their experiences trying to fit into the world. The music and the score are incredible. The talented cast and on- stage band produce a show with incredible energy. Hate to see this show closing because the fans that have been coming to see it have brought so much enthusiasm to the area. Look for information about the show and the cast soundtrack on the show's website.

A proposed ordinance being weighed by Amarillo officials to restrict where some sex offenders live echoes similar laws across the state and around the country, but the benefits are murky.
Studies into the laws' impact have found that sex offender residence restrictions do not significantly deter repeat offenses by sex offenders.
"We found that proximity is not a risk factor in recidivism," said Jill Levenson, author of several books and studies investigating the effects of public policy on sex offender behavior. "Restricting where (sex offenders) live is not an effective tool in risk management."
The Amarillo City Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit some sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of public or private schools, day care and youth centers, and public parks and pools. The measure also includes public recreation areas and video arcades and defines children as those younger than 17.
Levenson's work includes a 2010 study investigating the rates of recidivism among sex offenders living near schools and day care centers. The report, which tracked offenders in Florida from 2004 through 2006, found "no significant relationship between reoffending and proximity to schools or daycares." Levenson, who teaches at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., collaborated with lead researcher Paul Zandbergen of the University of New Mexico and Timothy Hart of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas on the study.
Those results are counter-intuitive to the idea that barring offenders from living near where children gather reduces the chances of repeat offense.
"I think (residence restrictions) would help in two ways — providing added protection for children and removing temptation for the offenders," said Amarillo City Commissioner Jim Simms. "The purpose is to separate (offenders) from places where children congregate."
Commissioner Brian Eades expressed a more nuanced view, reflecting enthusiasm for anything that would protect children but reserving judgment on the effectiveness of residence restrictions.
"On first blush, it looks like 'Yeah, we need to do this,'" Eades said. But he wants evidence. "Having a science background, I rely on research."
Inquiries by law enforcement and correctional agencies might only raise more questions.
"Restrictions on … supervised sex offender residences may not deter the sex offender from re-offending and should not be considered as a method to control sexual offending recidivism," said a 2004 report by the Colorado Department of Public Safety's Sex Offender Management Board, which studied repeat offense patterns in the Denver area.
The Minnesota Department of Corrections analyzed the cases of every sex offender released from prison from 1990 through 2002 and then re-incarcerated for a new sex offense through 2005. The agency released a study that found "little support for the notion that (residence) restrictions would significantly reduce sexual recidivism."
Experts on sex abuse say part of the problem with residence restrictions is that the "stranger in the bushes" archetype does not describe the majority of the cases.
About 90 percent of sexually abused children know their abusers, said April Leming, executive director of The Bridge, an Amarillo-based regional children's advocacy center that includes treatment for sexual abuse among its services. In the Texas Panhandle, the number is 99 percent, Leming said.
"Parental involvement is key to prevention," Leming said.
That view was shared by Carolyn Atwell-Davis of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, headquartered in the Washington, D.C., area.
"No law should substitute for adequate supervision," Atwell-Davis said.
However, she expressed her organization's support for employment and activity restrictions on sex offenders. Such laws prohibit offenders from working or volunteering at businesses or organizations where children are present.
"Those who victimize children will seek legitimate access," Atwell-Davis said.
But Atwell-Davis described her organization's attitude toward residence restrictions as "cautious."
"These ordinances need to be looked at to see how effective they are in preventing crime," Atwell-Davis said.
Sex-offender residence restrictions may result in offenders being pushed out of cities entirely. That happened in Miami, where a 2005 law effectively banning offenders from living in the city resulted in an encampment of offenders living under the Julia Tuttle Causeway from 2006 to 2010.
The shantytown was officially sanctioned — some offenders released from prison were issued state ID cards listing the "Julia Tuttle Causeway" as their street address. Following sustained local and national outcry, the encampment was cleared out and its residents relocated last year.
The proposed ordinance in Amarillo, unlike the Miami restriction, would leave some local housing options for offenders. The ordinance would exclude about a third of the city, though a map released last week shows that parts of the remaining two-thirds of land outside the city's restricted zones lie in undeveloped or industrial areas.
"There would be plenty of other places to live," Simms said. "I don't see the chance for a huge concentration (of sex offenders) in one area."
Simms noted that the proposed ordinance would not require offenders already living in restricted areas to move, but would apply only to new property rentals or purchases.
"I'm a little concerned about what happens to a property owner who has property in an area where we would have more sexual predators," said Eades, who wondered whether the ordinance would cause property values in such areas to drop.
"I can't buy in on that theory of property devaluation," Simms said.
Some of the reports on residence restrictions suggest that such laws actually exacerbate conditions known to increase recidivism. A 2005 study by Levenson said residence restrictions focusing on schools and parks tend to push offenders away from low-income urban neighborhoods. Those neighborhoods tend to provide the type of housing and employment options typically available to such offenders. Limiting those options increases social and financial instability, shown to worsen the risk of recidivism.
"Residence restrictions lead to serious unintended collateral consequences for offenders, such as limiting their opportunities for employment, housing, education, treatment services and prosocial support systems," increasing the chance of repeat offense, Levenson wrote.

text: PAGEOS 1 was made up of 84 gores and 2 pole caps of 0.0127-mm aluminised mylar film. The gores were 48 m long with maximum width of 1.24 m and the pole caps were 1.02 m in diameter. The primary purpose of the satellite was to provide a tracking target for geodetic purposes. It had a specular reflectance of 0.862, and a diffuse reflectance of 0.029, providing a reflecting light source whose brightness was relatively independent of observer-satellite-sun phase angle. The surface was also 97% reflectant for microwave energy in the range from 17 to 4E5 kHz.

The pleasure of finding a snail shell
Many years ago I watched a program on PBS about the physicist Richard Feynman*. I liked Feynman's ideas so much that I ordered a copy of the transcript, which I still have. This is what Feynman said about the Nobel prize he had won:
I don't see that it makes any point that someone in the Swedish Academy decides that his [someone's] work is noble enough to receive a prize. I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation of other people using it. Those are the real things, the honours are unreal to me.Earlier this afternoon, my son and I went on a walk in the woods near our house. I had my eyes open for trees with holes in their trunks, for those are the places I've often found snails. Presumably, the tree holes provide both food, perhaps in the form of fungi growing on rotting wood, and shelter from the weather. Near the end of our walk we were at an area where I had not been before. A tree that had a large cavity at its base attracted my attention. I went over and took a look at it. Sure enough, there was an old, bleached Anguispira fergusoni shell just outside the cavity.
I have hundreds of shells of A. fergusoni, most in better condition than this one, from these woods. But finding this one on a cold winter day gave me a special pleasure, because I had never encountered that species at that particular location before. It extends the range of A. fergusoni that is known to me by only about 150 m or so. Three hundred years ago, when an unbroken forest covered this region of North America, this would have been an insignificant find, but today when even the "protected" wildlife habitats are under constant threat of destruction, it is somewhat reassuring to know that if what is over there is destroyed by some new road or a sewer project, a few snails may still survive over here.
Soon after we returned home, I thought of Feynman's ideas. Although I couldn't recall his exact words, the general idea of the pleasure of discovering something had etched itself in my mind.
*It was the Nova episode #1002 titled The pleasure of finding things out that aired on PBS on 25 January 1983. I was still in graduate school at that time.

John Abercrombie: Number 9
Number 9
John Abercrombie (guitar)
The Third Quartet (ECM 1993)
John Abercrombie (guitar),
Mark Feldman (violin), Marc Johnson (bass), Joey Baron (drums).
Composed by John Abercrombie.
Recorded: New York, June 2006
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
In a 2007 interview discussing his then brand-new CD, John Abercrombie said that he named this composition "Number 9" simply because "it's nine measures long." He also said, "This ballad just seemed to play itself. I sat down one day at the piano, and within five minutes, the tune was finished." A more appropriate title for this tune might have been "After Nefertiti," or "Another Ode to a Queen," or perhaps just "Thanks, Wayne." A 7-note segment of the theme comes right out of Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti," but apparently (and surprisingly) Abercrombie never noticed.
Regardless, "Number 9" is one of the CD's best tracks. Feldman plays the winsome theme twice in this out-of-tempo arrangement. Abercrombie then engages in a gracefully subdued melodic embellishment based on the tune's harmonic structure. Feldman follows in a similar vein, but with more intense feeling, while sounding at times like Regina Carter. Abercrombie returns to play the theme as Feldman's tremolo provides moving counterpoint. The violinist then takes over for his own soothing and heartfelt reiteration of the pretty melody. The essence of "Nefertiti" is never far from the surface, but despite this, or because of it, "Number 9" is a lovely ballad performance.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
ESPN Films' next SEC Storied documentary, "Sarah & Suzanne," will premiere Wednesday, April 30, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU. The 60-minute film chronicles the paths of two Southeastern Conference gymnastics coaches who, while simultaneously building their programs and experiencing great success, elevated the level of competition and created an extraordinary rivalry in college sports.
"Sarah & Suzanne" will lead into the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championship at 8 p.m., also on ESPNU. Both Georgia and Alabama participated in the Championships, which was held in Birmingham this past weekend. The film will then re-air at 10 p.m.
When Alabama's Sarah Patterson and Georgia's Suzanne Yoculan arrived on their respective campuses, both programs were on the verge of folding. The Crimson Tide and the Gym Dogs were having little success, and Patterson and Yoculan were brought in to help salvage what was left. What no one could have guessed at the time is that not only would the two programs become the best in the nation, but the coaches would become pioneers and mavericks of the sport forever. In the 25 years that Yoculan and Patterson coached against each other, they filled arenas with passionate fans while winning a combined 21 SEC Championships and 14 NCAA titles.
"Sarah & Suzanne," directed by Joie Jacoby, is the story of two women dominating college gymnastics, while creating one of the most heated rivalries in SEC history. Together, within the intensity of this rivalry, they built two championship programs and changed how many people perceived college gymnastics.
Jacoby is an Emmy Award-winning director and producer. Among her work for ESPN: "Return to Mexico City," a film about the intersection of the 1968 Olympics and the civil rights movement; "The Dewey Bozella Story," a story about a boxer who was wrongfully convicted of murder; and "The Thomas Family," which explored a small football town and one family's courage to forgive one another after a tragic murder. "Sarah & Suzanne" is produced by Rockwell Films.
*Digital screeners for "Sarah & Suzanne" available upon request*
About SEC Storied
ESPN Films launched the SEC Storied documentary series in September 2011, presenting fans the opportunity to explore the rich athletic history of the Southeastern Conference. From extraordinary athletes and coaches to defining games and moments, the Storied series features films that focus on the SEC's recent and more distant past. In August, the franchise will expand to ten documentaries a year with the launch of the SEC Network.
About ESPN Films
Created in March 2008, ESPN Films produces high-quality films showcasing some of the most compelling stories in sports. In October 2009, ESPN Films launched the Peabody Award-winning, Producer's Guild Award-winning and Emmy-nominated 30 for 30 film series. Inspired by ESPN's 30th Anniversary, the films that made up the series were a thoughtful and innovative reflection on the past three decades told through the lens of diverse and interesting sports fans and social commentators. The strong reaction from both critics and fans led to the launch of 30 for 30 Volume II, which is currently underway. Additional projects from ESPN Films include the critically acclaimed Nine for IX series, SEC Storied and the webby award winning 30 for 30 Shorts.

Bonnaroo 2014 is officially over and it went out on about as high a note as possible on Sunday as Elton John closed down the festival. Playing to a packed What Stage field, John's two hour set was a hit-filled sing along party.
Shortly after taking the stage, John endeared himself to Bonnaroo fans by reminding him that this was his first performance at an American festival "and I know it's the best one!" He opened up with the 11 minute epic "Funeral for a Friend" from his landmark Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, before following it with "Bennie and the Jets" and "Candle in the Wind," making up the entire first side of that record. All in all, John dedicated 8 of his 21 song setlist to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road cuts, including bringing fellow piano man Ben Folds out to guest on album cut "Grey Seal."
It's a testament to Elton John's success that, in a 21 song set, only the odd Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album cut wasn't a massive hit. When you can play for 2 hours and still leave on the table songs like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," which would be a career definer for a lesser artist, you've officially made it. John and his strong seven piece band blasted through high energy hits like "Bennie and the Jets" and "Philadelphia Freedom" then brought it back down for sing-alongs to slower numbers like "Your Song" and "Rocket Man."
One highlight of the show came midway through as Elton John took a minute to pay tribute to Top 40 DJ Casey Kasem, who died on Sunday. John related that when he came over to America in 1970, Kasem was his introduction to America and pop music and was responsible for him falling in love with both the sound and the country. "Travel safely, my good man," John pronounced before dedicating a forceful rendition of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a song Kasem had a chance to spin many times in his career, to the fallen icon.
Judging from the crowd's reactions, the night's highlights were "Tiny Dancer" and the show closer "Crocodile Rock." Tossing whatever glowsticks survived Skrillex's performance the night before high into the air, fans chanted along to the chorus of "Tiny Dancer", although more than a few chose to insert the now famous missed lyric "hold me closer, Tony Danza" instead. For "Crocodile Rock", fans just wanted to dance. Sensing this was probably the last song they'd hear at Bonnaroo 2014, they made it count, sending Elton John and Bonnaroo 2014 out with a literal bang as fireworks exploded over the main stage.

Blogging about JFK & "Final Charade"--My first post
The central thesis of my book--now widely debated on the Internet (see, for example, the London Education Forum, or the JFK Lancer Forum)--is simply this: that the "best evidence" in the JFK case was the President's body, itself, and that the autopsy report in this case--the report relied upon by the Warren Commission as the legal basis for its "two shots struck JFK from behind" conclusions--was falsified by a simple (and rather ugly) mechanism, one that was, I believe, an integral part of the crime itself: the medical alteration of the wounds on the body, shortly after Kenned's death, and prior to the autopsy. (JFK was shot at 12:30 CST in Dallas; after he was pronounced dead at Parkland Hospital --at 1 P.M.--his body was brought back to Washington aboard Air Force One, and then to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where an autopsy commenced at 8 P.M. EST). In a nutshell, the central thesis of Best Evidence--which starts with the recognition that the body of the deceased, in a gunshot case, offers a "diagram of the shooting," is that that "diagram" (i.e., the wound pattern on President Kennedy's body)--by 8 P.M. on the evening of 11/22/63--bore little resemblance to the wounds originally on the body immediately after the shooting. In short, by the time of autopsy, JFK's body was tantamount to a medical forgery, it told a false story of the shooting; and that "medical forgery" became the basis for the autopsy report that was accepted as the foundation for the "Oswald did it" version of President Kennedy's murder.
As those who have read my book well know, I do not believe that Oswald was JFK's assassin, and the appearance that he was in fact Kennedy's murderer is the result of a pattern of deliberately falsified evidence. This thorough falsification of a variety of evidence created the appearance not only that Oswald was "the assassin" but, in addition, that JFK was shot "from above and behind" ---and specifically, from the "sniper's nest" located on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository (today, the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas).
In 1988, BEST EVIDENCE was published in trade paperback (as stated above) and that edition carried the JFK autopsy photographs--then, and still, under seal at the National Archives. The publication in the 1988 edition of my book marked the first time they were published anywhere in the world. Furthermore, that edition carried an important "Epilogue" reporting not only my own feelings about the necessity of publishing these pictures, but also developments in my own personal investigation relating to this evidence--specifically, what happened when I showed these photographs to various Dallas doctors and nurses who had actually seen JFK 's wounds, at Parkland Hospital, on the day of his death. The general verdict was that these photographs did not show the wounds as the witnesses recalled them. (The 1993 edition of BEST EVIDENCE, published by New American Library, also carries the pictures, and the same AFTERWORD.)
In 1992, in the aftermath of Oliver Stone's movie "JFK," Congress passed the JFK Records Act, mandating the declassification of all records pertaining to this case. The JFK Act created a small Federal Agency called the "Assassination Records Review Board" ("the ARRB") and during their three year life, they had the power to subpoena records, and to call witnesses to "clarify the record." This they did and during the course of their investigation, some 10 depositions were taken from critical witnesses connected with JFK's autopsy, some of whose accounts had appeared, for the first time, in BEST EVIDENCE. Douglas Horne, a former Naval officer, held the title Chief Analyst for Military Records, and played a major role in pursuing all matters pertaining to the medical evidence and the Zapruder film (and many other issues as well). He has just published a massive five volume work "INSIDE THE ARRB" , which I highly recommend, and which strongly endorses the major thesis of BEST EVIDENCE. Several years ago, he posted the following statement on the Internet, from which I now quote--that BEST EVIDENCE "has been validated by the work of the ARRB staff. Our unsworn interviews and depositions of Dallas (Parkland Hospital) medical personnel and Bethesda autopsy participants confirm that the President's body arrived at Bethesda Naval Hospital in a markedly different condition than it was in when seen at Parkland for life-saving treatment. My conclusion is that wounds were indeed altered and bullets were indeed removed prior to the autopsy at Bethesda Naval Hospital. This procedure altered the autopsy conclusions and presented a false picture of how the shooting took place. In most essential details, David Lifton "got it right" in his 1981 bestseller." (END QUOTE)
From email and letters, I know that many who have followed my work have wondered what I have been doing since the publication of BEST EVIDENCE. The chief answer is: pursuing my own research on the JFK case, and, most important, writing a book on Oswald.
Since I do not believe Oswald shot Kennedy, the question is not only "who did?"--but also, "Just who was Oswald?" and how did he become entangled in this entire affair? To cast a similarly important question in terms of the physical evidence, the issue is not "who put the bullets INTO President Kennedy's body" but rather "who took them out?" Only by answering the second question can we hope to obtain a "global" picture of just what happened on November 22, 1963. In short, if President Kennedy's body was altered (post-mortem) and the autopsy conclusions falsified, then the answer to "who killed Kennedy?" can only be found by learning how this was accomplished, how was this entire event was arranged, and how such a conglomeration of evidence was falsified, so as to create--after it was over, i.e., in the aftermath of the shooting--the false appearance that Lee Oswald was President Kennedy's assassin.
Because that, I believe, is what happened in this case. That, to use the vernacular, is what "went down" on November 22, 1963. So one way of attempting to get to the bottom of all this is to find the answer(s) to the question: who was Oswald?
This is the question that is primarily addressed in my forthcoming work, FINAL CHARADE: Lee Oswald and the Assassination of President Kennedy.
In my own writing, I view Oswald as "the man who didn't do it", and .the question I address (and answer) is: Who was this "man who didn't do it?"
On a more personal note:
I was born on September 20, 1939, and am just three weeks older than Oswald would have been (had he lived)--so it is very easy for me to relate to someone who was a "child of the fifties" (I was high school "class of '57" and then Cornell "class of '62"). Had he not lost a year, from all the moving around, and then dropped out of school early to join the Marines, Oswald, too, would have been "class of '57." But he joined the Marines (October, 1956), and then--immediately after his discharge (9/11/59)--departed for the Soviet Union, arriving there on October 16, 1959, just two days prior to his 20th birthday. To put this in perspective, I had just begun my junior year at Cornell (in the School of Engineering Physics) and was just beginning my second course in electromagnetic theory, at the time that Oswald was telling the KGB that he would like to live int he Soviet Union for the rest of his life, and--if permitted to do so--had certain radar secrets to ofer. Oswald then remained there for just over two and a half years, returning in mid-June, 1962, about halfway through JFK's "1000 days." Utilizing this chronological correlation between Oswald and myelf helps put a more human face on Oswald, and helps "tell the story" of my investigation of his life, in the first person (just as I narrated my investigation of the medical evidence, in BEST EVIDENCE).
FINAL CHARADE was under contract some years ago (which explains some of the Amazon listings), but has undergone a major redesign, and is not currently under contract. Rest assured it will be published, and will be an important sequel to BEST EVIDENCE; and a very important book when it comes to understanding the events of November 22, 1963.
For the time being, I will keep future readers informed of my activities, via this blog; and address certain other issues as the need arises.
If I don't answer questions, please bear with me, as my time is limited and I am primarily focused on completing my work.
For those who want to know more about BEST EVIDENCE, be aware that 37 minute documentary film, "BEST EVIDENCE: The Research Video" is probably available, as a VHS, and we are trying to get that re-released as a DVD. There you will find some of the key witnesses who appeared in the book--witnesses I interviewed in 1980, when there was far less use of "home video" (and, of course, no Internet, no cell phones, no You Tube, etc.. My video contains the accounts of witnesses filmed "the old fashioned way" (i.e., on 16 mm film, using a professional film crew) and who much later appeared (circa 1996/97) before the ARRB. For those who want to learn more about my work in the area of the Zapruder film, I recommend my essay, "PIG ON A LEASH," which has been posted on the Internet.
Again, just as in the case of the President's body (and the official autopsy), the key issue is authenticity. In my essay, you will find a detailed account of my experiences (and research) concerning this most critical matter. Ultimately at issue is whether the "extant film" --the one which became "the evidence" on which the FBI and the Warren Commission relied for the timing of "the shots"--was in fact the genuine camera original, or an edited version. You will also learn the story of how in 1990, in New York City, I obtained access to an original 35 mm copy of the "original" film (a high quality copy made in 1967 by a private firm, then under contract with LIFE, the putative owner of the Zapruder film at that time); how I then obtained access to an optical printer, and then made extraordinarily clear copies of that 35mm item, one of which I then donated to the Kennedy Collection at the National Archives, when I testified before the ARRB in September, 1996. (A far more complete and extensive analysis addressing Zapruder film authenticity is to be found in Volume 4 of Horne's work, previously mentioned, the fine work of film editor David Healy, and I also refer any interested reader to the work of Australian physicist John Costella, which can also be found on the Internet.)
Ultimately, these matters of "physical evidence" relate to the "Oswald story" because it is via the "official evidence" (i.e., the autopsy, the Zapruder film, etc.) that the official "Oswald story" emerges--and the key issue is whether the evidence is legitimate.
On that score, it is important to remember what Lee Oswald--who had repeatedly and very publicly protested his innocence--said to his older brother Robert, during their brief meeting in the Dallas jail on Saturday, November 23, 1963, the day before he was murdered: "Do not believe the so-called 'evidence'."
The most important evidence in this case was the President's body--and I addressed that in BEST EVIDENCE. I will be covering the rest in FINAL CHARADE.
I wish everyone well, and will try to update this blog as time permits.

An update concerning "Final Charade" please?
Hi David. Surfing the internet today (of all days...) and came upon your blog. I so thoroughly enjoyed "Best Evidence" and your interpretation of the medical evidence and capturing, for history's sake, the interviews with so many key people involved that day. I too am wondering about "Final Charade" and when I will be able to delve into what I am sure will be a fascinating account.ReplyDelete
Dear Mr.Lifton,I'm a Japanese writer HidejiReplyDelete
Okina,I know privately your book Japanese
version translater Prof. Hiroshi Tsuchida.
He published his book "Message from Heaven:Secret Opertion of Assassination Kennedy" in 1993.
And I meet Oswald Japanese girlfriend Y.O
few years before.She is very angry.
She not want talk about him.
I want read a your new book 16 years before.
At first I know your boook will publish in 1995 from "OSWALD AND CIA" First edition.
Best Regards.
Hi David .... it is great to locate your blog and to hear that you are working on the Oswald Project. I am sure I speak for many, that we are very eagerly awaiting the release of your newest work ... in the meantime, be well ....... all the best to you!ReplyDelete
This is the first time I have found your blog on the internet and want to wish you the best of success in Final Charade. It is a travesty that Best Evidence has not received a much wider audience since the publication of Horne's magnum opus. Let us hope that Final Charade wakes up JFK research from its current slumbers. All best wishes, DanReplyDelete
Can't wait for the book!ReplyDelete
I haven't read your book Best Evidence, but I saw your presentation at the Deluth 2003 symposium on the Zapruda hoax film which was excellent! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVrxtiA98hcReplyDelete
I am hoping that you will be updating Best Evidence at some point. If not I will get round to buying it anyway.
Looking forward to your Oswald work ... hopefully you can shed some new light on the officer Tippett killing.
Thank you for your efforts.
A few questions.
1. Your thoughts about Homer McMahon testimoney with the ARRB on the original Z-film.
2. Do you have any additional information on the Red Bird Airport incident?
3. I have read a little about 'FDR Assisination' and Neslon Rockerfeller's secret bid for the presidency. I am not real sure of the accuracy of the subject or the primary author however it has a similar footprint as the JFK murder. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?
4. Any comments on the movie 'Shooter' by Stephen Hunter? Hunter openly parallels the novel with JFK.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
A little help on finding a copy of FINAL CHARADE.ReplyDelete
Every place I look on the internet, all state that the book in not available.
I read somewhere that Jackie Kennedy was given red roses so she was clearly identifiable among other women who were given yellow roses.ReplyDelete
I just saw a video of Oswald being escorted out to when he was shot. All the officers were wearing black suits with the exception of the one who was 'holding onto' Oswald. Sounds similar?
Regarding E Lindsey's comment above, in recent days, watching all the commemorations of the events of November 22, 1963, I was struck by the shot of the back seat of the limousine at Parkland Hospital showing abandoned on the seat and floor a bunch of tattered YELLOW roses, precisely where we would expect to see Mrs. Kennedy's RED roses.ReplyDeleteReplies
That was a photo of LBJ's limo/car at Parkland.Delete
I remember Paul O'Conner speaking about the body being in a grey shipping casket when it arrived at Bethesda and the president's body being in a body bag.Also there is a video on youtube where you can hear Helicopters that must have been on the starboard side the AF1 These things back all your evidence. so I can't wait to read fFinal Charade thanks
You need to check out what Nellie does with the yellow roses.ReplyDelete
Bob Mady
Who were the people who off loaded the casket off of AF1? Either they knew they were handling an empty casket, or they knew that they would have to lie about it, or some one added weight to the casket. Assuming that the removal of JFK's body was fast and messy, then one is to assume that the casket was empty.ReplyDelete

What is the current status of Final Charade?
Hi David, I've read "Best Evidence" several times over the years, and in my opinion it's still the best book written about the Kennedy assassination. However, I was wondering if anyone who has viewed the Zapruder film has noticed that at Z frame #369 you can see the EXIT wound at the rear of Kennedy's head, and it(the wound) remains visible until about frame #387.ReplyDeleteReplies
What did you think about the part where they stole Kennedy's body out of the back of Air Force One after it landed at Andrews AF Base ... right under the nose of Mrs. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and about 50 other close Kennedy staffers and news people ?Delete
How exactly do you start a conversation with some Army pathologist or surgeon at Walter Reed Army Hospital where you ask this individual to participate in a conspiracy to cover up the murder of the President of the U.S. ? What if he says "No" ? What do you do then ?Delete
A little bit of bad news. In 2013 some TV channel produced a show claiming that the fatal shot to Kennedy's head came from a rifle accidentally discharged by a Secret Service Agent in the car immediately behind the President's. As a consequence you have now been 'demoted' from sole ownership of First Place in the Most Ludicrous Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Sweepstakes to merely tied for first. SorryReplyDelete
Has anyone done any research on employees of the Hawkeye Works and if any of them joined the untimely deaths as other key witnesses?ReplyDelete
Have you found any evidence that Oswald was in Chicago (either physically or allegedly viz-a-viz "sightings")? This would be an organized crime connection.ReplyDelete
Have you found any evidence that Oswald was in Chicago (either physically or allegedly viz-a-viz "sightings")? This would be an organized crime connection.ReplyDelete
Could the body that entered in the shipping casket, described by Dennis David, be J. D. Tippit?ReplyDelete
Mr. Lifton, could you please summarize the major differences between the 1980 edition of Best Evidence which I recently read and the 1988 paperback edition you mention above?ReplyDelete
In the 1988 edition did you include addition evidence that would futher buttrice your belief that Kennedy's wounds were altered somewhere between Parkland Hospital and Bethesda to creat the false evidence trail that Humes and the Warren Commission considerd "best evidence?"
Lately I have been researching coup's in general through history and have discovered some interesting things.ReplyDelete
Julius Caesar, 4 attempts, the final one being successful, the Roman Senate was the only place that Julius Caesar did not have his protective guards. And there were over 80 individuals involved in the assassination.
Many assassinations in Egyptian history, all about seizing power from those close to the ruler.
Valkyrie - many similarities to the JFK assassination.
During the closing of WWII, there was an operation to gather German intelligence operatives out of Europe and into the USA similar to Operation Paperclip. Those individuals were absorbed into the OSS and ultimately the CIA.
There is evidence that British Intelligence told Churchill about the coming attack on Pearl Harbor 9 months before the event and Churchill told FDR. I have seen an actual newspaper article where the attack was announced 7 days before it happened in the Hilo Tribune (the newspaper in the Pearl Harbor area.)
There is growing evidence that FDR himself was assassinated at Warm Springs, Ga. It is on the internet, do your homework.
There is growing evidence that Nelson Rockefeller made a bid to maneuver himself into the White House. Also on the internet.
If one was going to pull off an assassination, one only would have to study these areas and the put together a plan. There are way too many similaries.
PS - I am still waiting anxiously for Final Charade.ReplyDelete
Why has not anyone pulled the original cover story of Life Magazine (I think that was the magazine) where the illegal actions of LBJ were going to be the featured story. I have read that had the JFK assassination had not occurred, that edition would have been about LBJ.
LBJ had reason, motive and the ability to set it about.
And Eisenhower had it 2/3 correct, it was the Military, Industrial and Banking establishment.
Mr. Lifton, the autopsy on JFK was totally illegal. Many laws and legal ethics were violated in order to control the WC. These laws were broken when Oswald was either in jail or dead, so the WC is completely false. I'm reading Best Evidence now.ReplyDelete
In your research have you come across anything relating to a Marcia G. Baringer who may have known LHO in 1963?ReplyDelete

23rd April jubilation
The Turkish nation's first step towards independence, taken exactly 80 years ago, is celebrated around the world today as Children's Day.
It is Friday morning, 23 April 1920. An enthusiastic crowd has gathered around the historic parliament building in the Ankara district of Ulus to celebrate the nation's independence. For the 115 MP's who first met here under the roof of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey proclaimed the good news that the government had passed into the hands of the people. Ever since that day, the 23rd of April has been celebrated as the 'Day of National Sovereignty', because 'national sovereignty' or independence means that the right to govern belongs to the nation. And the National Assembly had taken that right away from the sultan and given it to the people.
According to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, national sovereignty is the antithesis not only of the sultanate but of all forms of personal rule, old or new. "There is no monarch, no dictator in the Turkish State or among the Turkish people who founded that state. The whole world should know that there is no longer any power, or any office at the head of this nation and this state. There is only one power, and that is the sovereignty of the nation." Thus spoke Atatürk, and in doing so he was affirming in the strongest terms that the highest authority belongs to the people.
Children's Day was added to National Sovereignty Day in 1929 at the initiative of the Society for the Protection of Children. And Atatürk's love for children played a big role in the creation of this special day for them. Over his lifetime Atatürk adopted eight children: Afet (İnan), Sabiha (Gökçen), Fikriye, Ülkü, Nebile, Rukiye, Zehra and Mustafa. Two other children, Abdurrahim and İhsan, were also his wards. But all children were worthy of love in his eyes. There is no need to have witnessed that love in person to feel it today. Just a brief glance at some old photographs will suffice to confirm the boundless love and compassion for children that the Great Leader felt in his heart. And the 23rd of April is further proof that Atatürk regarded the nation's children as its future and the guarantors of its sovereignty. "Little women, little men!" he said, in an earnest expression of his faith in children, "Each one of you is a star, a ray of light, a rose of the future! It is you who will bathe the country in light. Never lose sight in your striving of how important and valuable you are. We are expecting great things of you!"
On that first Children's Day back in 1929, the children of Ankara tramped through the streets of the capital singing marches. The first 'children's ball and afternoon tea' was held at the Ankara Palas hotel with Atatürk himself in attendance. In Istanbul, too, children gathered around the monument on Taksim Square for a long march to the accompaniment of the Navy Band. Children's plays and other entertainments were staged at the Tepebaşı Theater. Then, in 1935, the celebrations of national sovereignty and of the nation's children were combined in 'National Sovereignty and Children's Day'. When the United Nations declared 1979 'The Year of the World's Children', an organization was put together by Turkish State Radio and Television (TRT) aimed at encompassing all the world's children. The first TRT International 23rd April Children's Festival was celebrated in Turkey in 1979 with the participation of five other countries: the Soviet Union, Iraq, Italy, Rumania and Bulgaria. Now the festival is held annually with the participation of children from approximately fifty countries. The festivals, which were held in the capital Ankara from 1979 to 2000, have spread today to all the major cities including Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya.
Invited by the children of Turkey, some twenty thousand children from 100 different countries have taken part in these festivals up to now.
In a record for Turkey, 62 countries are joining in this year's festivities, which will take place in Antalya 16-25 April. This 29th annual festival is also welcoming some brand new visitors: Equador, Ivory Coast, Montenegro, and the Republic of Guinea. This year's gala program to be held at the ancient theater in Aspendos is going to be lively, humming and chock full of fun. Aspendos's little visitors will first be welcomed with 15,000 carnations. One by one each group will then take the stage in their authentic native costumes to perform the songs and dances of their country. One of the biggest attractions of this year's
23rd April festivities is a photography exhibition on the theme, 'The History of 23rd April in Photographs', to be mounted 16-23 April at the Rahmi Koç Museum in Istanbul, at the Turkish Parliament building and the Kızılay Metro Stop in Ankara, and at the Migros Shopping Center in Antalya.
Every child in Turkey is familiar with the excitement that begins already in early April. We all have memories of this holiday. Every school puts together its own program for the occasion. Plays are written, rounds composed, poems memorized. Everything is for the children on that day. Some head for the funfair clutching a balloon, others are ensconced for the day in the seat of the governor, the speaker of parliament, or even the prime minister. Over the years Turkish children have made the acquaintance of the other children of the world through the TRT's colorful 23rd April broadcasts. During the nearly week-long celebrations the visiting children stay with Turkish families with children of the same age, and when the visitors leave hearts inevitably constrict. Every year pictures of warm hugs and tearful good-byes fill the newspapers. And this year will be no exception. Most important of all, the bonds of love and friendship among the world's children are going to be further strengthened as the children, speaking in unison, express their pure and heartfelt message: May the whole world live in peace!

Minutemen Cruise Past Sacred Heart, 12-4
March 23, 2004
AMHERST, Mass. - UMass held Sacred Heart scoreless in three of the four quarters, and cruised past the Pioneers, 12-4, on a windy afternoon at Garber Field. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Minutemen, and improved UMass' record to 3-4 overall. Sacred Heart falls to 0-6 overall.
UMass jumped out early, scoring three goals in the first 7:28 of the first period. Chris Doyle (Putnam Valley, N.Y.), Matt Tundo (Orchard Park, N.Y.) and Ryan Connolly (North Andover, Mass.) all tallied goals for the Minutemen and Tundo would tally his second goal of the period with 1:39 to play for a 4-0 first-quarter advantage.
After the Minutemen scored the first two goals of the second period, the Pioneers cut the lead to 6-4 behind a pair of Ben Giamichael netters. However, Brett Garber (Avon, Conn.) stopped the Sacred Heart rally with his second goal of the season with just 30 seconds to play before halftime and a 7-4 cushion.
UMass dominated the second half, outscoring the Pioneers, 5-0, and outshooting SHU, 22-7. Connolly got UMass rolling with his second goal of the game four minutes after halftime and Tundo completed his first career hat trick with five minutes to play in the third period for a 9-4 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Local product Sam Moody (Amherst, Mass.) tallied his first career goal 3:17 into the final frame and Doyle and Neil Lundberg (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) rounded out the UMass scoring. The story, however, was the UMass defense. Bill Schell (Mahopac, N.Y.) made eight saves to earn his third win of the season and the Minutemen outshot the Pioneers, 38-22. UMass also limited Sacred Heart to convert on only 13-of-24 clearing attempts.Gene Tundo (Orchard Park, N.Y.) tied a career high with four assists.
The Minutemen will Hofstra in a key regional battle on Sunday, March 28, at 1:00 p.m. at Garber Field. For ticket information, call the UMass Athletics Ticket Office at 1-866-UMASS-TIX.

Aww geez! "The other one?" Molly asked the question with such delicious disgust didn't she? Yes, the second Mrs. Nygaard is dead, proving Lester is not the best widow material. After clumsily trying to establish his alibi at Lou's and making an anonymous call to the police, Lester rushes over to his office where the cops and Linda's "hole in the head" body are waiting. He claims he wants to say goodbye to his wife and even though Molly objects to his going near the crime scene, Bill allows Lester to go to Linda's stiff side. He feels around her pocket until Molly shouts "no touching anything." Nice try Lester. All you wanted was the boarding pass tucked away in the pocket of "your decoy" jacket which Linda was wearing.
Malvo, who is looking all kinds of crazy, has found a nice little cabin in the woods to hide out in. Evil plots and schemes need to be birthed in seclusion. And speaking of Malvo, Lou informs Molly about the mystery man (Malvo) who came-a-looking for Lester. Lou then goes home to sit on the front porch with his shotgun to protect the homestead.
FBI agents Budge and Pepper question Lester about Malvo. Of course, he plays dumb and pulls the grieving widow card to cast distraction. Gus is driving along talking on his cell trying to persuade Molly to back down from the Malvo case and leave it to Bemidji's bumbling cops. As fate would have it, a dog standing in the middle of the road forces Gus to slam on brakes. It is at this point where he looks over and spots Malvo's red BMW parked by the cabin. Gus drives around the corner and finds a place to park his vehicle so he can get out and peer through the bushes. There is still a little cop in you mailman Gus. Malvo soon drives off, leaving Gus time to snoop around.
Bill develops a major brain cell and comes to his senses. He decides to quit and will recommend Molly for the position of Chief. Malvo, who has too many sinister brain cells for his own good, manages to cancel the back-up requested by Budge and Pepper. He is a bad, bad man. So the devil ditches his red BMW to test drive an old car resembling unmarked vehicles. You are going to regret this test drive, car sales guy.
Lester is released to go home, given a ride by Budge and Pepper and guess who is following behind them in his own unmarked car? The agents drop Lester off but babysit from outside in that never ending winter wonderland known as Bemidji.
Lou is joined on the porch by Gus's daughter. After Lou shares a heart-warming story of how he took a shotgun stance before when Molly was just four years old, she goes inside and comes back out with a BB gun ready to take out Malvo's eye without a moment's notice. Ride or die chick. Ride or die.
The fake government vehicle slowly approaches Lester's residence, prompting Budge and Pepper to walk up to it, guns drawn. Unfortunately, it is the ill-fated car salesman who is driving and Malvo is walking up behind the doomed agents. Malvo shoots them point blank in the head.
Lester comes downstairs, peeks out the window and sees the blood-stained snow. He high-tails it back upstairs. Malvo does a little breaking and entering and heads upstairs where he hears Lester making an emergency phone call. The bedroom is an absolute mess with clothes and other items strewn about. But remember that claw trap we saw in a previous episode? Well, it's baack and buried beneath a pile of clothes. Malvo has the misfortune of placing his foot inside it and is now trapped like an animal on the floor. Lester rushes in from the bathroom and the two men have a semi gunfight. Semi because Lester has only one bullet in the chamber and has to race back inside the bathroom for cover but not before Malvo tosses an object his way and bloodying Lester's nose…again.
Malvo takes his mangled leg and leaves. He drives back to the cabin to doctor on it but soon finds he has another surprise in store for him. Gus slowly appears and says, "I figured it out." Malvo says, "Good for you." Gus then does the only humane thing he could do regarding wounded mangy animals. He shoots it. Five times. It took that many shots because after the first three, Malvo sat up straight, glared at Gus through bloody clenched teeth and with holes the size of apples around his chest cavity and abdomen. The man refused to die quickly.
Gus is now a hero. The toast of Bemidji. He points out to Molly Malvo's most prized possession – his tape collection. In the case is a cassette labeled Lester Nygaard with the recorded conversation between Lester and Malvo taped on the night of Pearl's murder. Gotcha!
Lester is on the run. No surprise there. This is what weasels do. Run. We find Lester on the run riding a snowmobile through Glacier National Park in Montana. The authorities there have snowmobiles too and chase after him. Lester falls off his ride and starts running across another frozen plain despite yells from the authorities to stop. They wisely chose to stop chasing after him. In his haste, Lester also did not see the "thin ice" warning sign he passed by either. The ice starts cracking. That got his attention because you can't ignore that sound. But it's now too late. There is nowhere to go but down and down Lester goes. Aww geez! Aww geez! Two great actors (Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman) will menace no more, at least not in Bemidji.
Did you enjoy the first season of "Fargo?"

HOW about growing unmodified corn from mexico for our animal feed it grows with less water and that means less weeds so less weed killer. But better still every city should have their own chicken raising facilities and garden crops
so we can decide what we eat as most dont trust the agribusiness any more.
P.S. my penis fell off yesterday due to gmo corn and the inside of my ears itch
both symptoms of gmo corn as they have more allergens in it thats why even dogs itch when they eat it. Alright my penis is still there I just wanted to make it sound more dramatic.
Russia Bans Use and Import of Monsanto's GMO Corn Following Study
Following the groundbreaking French study that graphically linked the lifetime consumption of Monsanto's GMO corn in rats to massive tumors and direct organ failure, Russia's premiere consumers rights organization has suspended both the importation and use of Monsanto's GMO corn within the nation's borders.
The move may soon be echoed by other nations, who may soon be urged by France to ban Monsanto's GMOs due to serious health concerns. France, who also recently upheld a key ban on growing GMOs, has been instrumental in alerting the world to the dangers of GMOs and Monsanto's overall corruption. In the nation's latest announcement, it was revealed that France's Agriculture Minister was launching an investigation into the GMO study, ultimately calling for European authorities to ban Monsanto's GMOs in order to protect citizens in the event that the study was found to be sound.
It seems that France has become somewhat of a consumer health watchdog in more than just one area, simultaneously tackling the issue of pesticide contamination as well. It was even announced that the French government was seeking to ban crop dusters in all areas possible, aiming to reduce the amount of obesity-linked pesticides within the food supply.
Monsanto Still Clinging to Old GMO Mantra
Meanwhile, Monsanto is continuing to stick to its tired statements regarding the 'safety' of its GMO crops and Roundup herbicide. Instead of discussing not only the French study finding that the company's GMOs led to horrendous tumors that led to rats literally dragging them along the ground as they walked, they claim that the information 'does not warrant' any concern at all from European officials. Just as Monsanto (and the US government) ignored evidence linking Roundup to DNA damage and infertility, it appears they intend to do it once more and hope that it all goes away.
Unfortunately for Monsanto, it's not going away this time.
With Russia now acting to secure food safety, many other nations will surely follow. While the United States may continue to ignore the issues surrounding GMOs and Monsanto's blatant disregard for human health (they were caught running 'slave-like' working rings, after all), many foreign nations will not. Countries like Poland, Peru, and Hungary have already taken action in banning or removing Monsanto's GMO crops. And even in the United States grassroots movements have spawned bills like Proposition 37 – the monumental bill in California that seeks to label GMOs.

Advantages of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 offers people a number of perks over liquidation under chapter 7. Potentially most drastically, chapter 13 provides people an option to spare their homes from foreclosure. By filing under this chapter, people can stop foreclosure actions and may cure behind home loan payments over time.
Nevertheless, they must still make all mortgage payments that come due during the chapter 13 plan on time.
Another advantage of chapter 13 is that it enables individuals to reschedule secured consumer debts (other than a mortgage for their primary residence) and prolong them over the life of the chapter 13 plan. Doing this may likely lower the payments.
Chapter 13 also has a very special provision that protects third parties who are bound with the debtor on "consumer debts." This provision may defend co-signers.
Finally, chapter 13 acts like a consolidation loan under which the debtor makes the plan payments to a chapter 13 trustee who then passes out payments to lenders. Individuals will have no direct contact with creditors while in chapter 13 protection.
Chapter 13 Qualifications
Any individual, even if self-employed or engaged in an unincorporated company, is eligible for chapter 13 relief as long as the individual's unsecured financial debts are less than $360,475 and secured obligations are less than $1,081,400. These sums are adjusted every now and then to mirror changes in the consumer price index. A corporation or partnership may not be a chapter 13 debtor.
An individual can not file under chapter 13 or any other chapter if, during the preceding 180 days, a previous bankruptcy petition was dismissed due to the individuals willful failure to appear before the court or comply with orders of the court or was freely dismissed after creditors sought relief from the bankruptcy court to take back property where they hold security on properties.
In addition, no consumer may be a debtor under chapter 13 or any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code unless he or she has, within 180 days before filing, acquired credit counseling from a recognized credit counseling group either in a personal or group briefing.
There are exceptions in emergency situations or where the U.S. trustee (or bankruptcy administrator) has established that there are insufficient approved agencies to provide the essential counseling. If a debt management plan is developed during required credit counseling, it must be filed with the court.
