New York Office Building used by Iranian regime, seized by Feds
By Walid Phares
December 21, 2008
The US Government seized control last Wednesday of a New York City office building partially owned by a company with ties to the Iranian government. The Treasury and Justice Departments move is aimed to end a flow of cash used to help Iran's program of nuclear weapons. The seizure is raising troubling questions.
The tower, situated on New York's Fifth Avenue, was built by an Iranian non-profit group in the 1970s. Federal officials say that the ownership of the building has evolved in an attempt to hide the stake held by an Iranian state-owned bank. The US alleges that Assa Corporation, which owns the building, is a front for Bank Melli, which facilitates the funding of nuclear materials for the Iranian regime. US authorities say that Bank Melli is involved in the Assa Corp. management of the Fifth Avenue facility. According to reports, rental income was sent back to Iran. But the designation does not interfere with the business and other activities of the tenants of 650 Fifth Avenue. In 2007, the Bush Administration froze Bank Melli's assets in the United States. The FBI seized two Assa's bank accounts holding $3.1 million.
According to Government sources Bank Melli handles funds for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) and its Qods Forces, which in turn fund Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as well as some activities of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
This move raised several national security questions in the media and within the counter terrorism community:
1) Can the ownership of a building in Manhattan by entities controlled by the Iranian regime lead to a potential use of the facility by Terrorists or - in more dramatic circumstances- to sneak a dirty bomb or a nuke?
2) Should we be surprised that the Iranian intelligence and agencies operate such a facility in New York or in other cities in the US?
In an interview with Fox News I made the several of the following points:
a. We shouldn't be surprised at all that the Iranian regime is trying to have access to such assets. Their strategy is to have as many of these assets in the U.S. The chain begins in Tehran where the tasked agencies try to build a map of similar locations in America for future potential operations.
b. The goal for such locations is multiple. The Terrorist component could include hideouts for operatives (as in Mumbai) or worse, a location to deploy dirty bombs or more.
c. The United States and other democracies have an open space for trade. Hence Iranian funded networks can own, co-own or manage these assets. These locations can be used by other elements than those who manages the locations.
d. Even though these types of assets can be used in the future, we need to keep in mind that its took some time for the preparation for 9/11 or Mumbai. Hence if the Iranian regime is indeed managing these assets now, it would be to have it handy when and if it needs to use them in the future.
e. The New York Law Enforcement agencies and authorities are among the best in the nation and worldwide. They do have an understanding of the enemy's strategies. Hence they are on top of it in as much as possible. But there is no fully secure system against Terrorism.
Thanks, O. When Wahlid Phares speaks, I listen.
Happy Hannuka, Kickin' Kwanza, Festive Festivus to you......but mostly, a most blessed Christmas to you and yours.
I'll probably be off line for a few days. Much family coming in. Mr. RR is at the airport right now picking up my sister from Kentucky. (four hours late) Many more trickling in tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday.
When I require sanity and solitude, I shall sneak in here to the computer room.....so keep the pings coming.

Russian S-300 anti-air weapon already delivered to Iran
Special Report
December 18, 2008, 12:00 PM (GMT+02:00)
Russian S-300s on way to guarding Iran's nuclear sites
Despite the efforts of US and Israeli leaders, Moscow has begun delivering the highly sophisticated medium-range air defense S-300 system to Iran for securing its nuclear and strategic sites against potential attack.
The RIA news agency reported Wednesday night, Dec. 18: "Moscow has earlier met its obligations to supply Tor-M1 (short-range) systems to Iran and is currently implementing its contract to deliver S-300 systems."
Military sources disclose the S-300 deliveries began two weeks ago.
Their installation, coinciding with the return home of members of Iranian air defense officers from training in Russia, means that air or missile attacks on Iranian sites will henceforth be extremely difficult and carry a high price.
On 9th October, DEBKAfile's Moscow sources reported that Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert failed in the key mission of his trip to persuade Russian leaders to refrain from selling this advanced weapon to Iran and Syria.
On July 9, US Secretary of State Robert Gates said: "Based on what I know, it's highly unlikely that those air defense missiles would be in Iranian hands any time soon." Clearly, Gates was misinformed, since five months on, those missiles are on their way to Iran.
While both the Bush administration and Israeli leaders insisted that a military option remained on the table if Iran persisted in its nuclear weapons program, neither took into account that Tehran was not deterred or standing idle.
This week, the Israeli defense ministry announced that Amos Gilead, a high official, would travel to Moscow Wednesday, Dec. 17 in a final bid to hold the Kremlin's hand. But Olmert and defense minister Ehud Barak had missed another boat.
Military and intelligence sources report that after Iran, Moscow will install the S-300 in Syria, focusing on securing the Russian naval bases going up in the Mediterranean port of Tartous. By selling these countries top-line weaponry, Moscow is strengthening its military presence and influence in two Middle East countries of especial interest to the United States and Israel a tactic Soviet Russians employed in the Cold War.
US: Russia's S-300 missile sale to Iran marks Israel's decision point
December 23, 2008, 11:22 AM (GMT+02:00)
Russian SA-300 long-range anti-air missile in action
An American military intelligence official says Russia's sale of S-300 long-range missiles to Iran presents a "decision point for Israel, since once the anti-aircraft system is in place it could deter any strike" against Iran's nuclear sites. In this first gloomy statement, the American source did not rule out such a strike but implied it would be more difficult.
State department spokesman Robert Wood said Monday, Dec. 22: "We have repeatedly made clear that we would strongly oppose the sale of S-300." US officials warned the missiles installed within Iran's borders could reach American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and shift the Middle East military balance of power.
Military sources point to the confusion contrived by Moscow about the state of the consignment. Nonetheless, an American source said Tuesday: "The US believes it is taking place." In Moscow, a "military-diplomatic source" said Monday the S-300 systems are being packed up and prepared for shipment to Iran: "S-300 air defense systems," he added, "are expected to be delivered from the defense ministry's warehouses." The latter statement indicates that the missiles going to Iran are coming out of Russia's own emergency stores and not waiting to come off production lines.
In response to media reports regarding the sale of S-300 systems to Iran, Vyacheslav Davidenko, spokesman of the Rosoboronexport arms exporters, said Monday without mentioning the missile by name: "At present exclusively defense systems, air defense systems fall within this category, are supplied to Iran," adding: The Tor-M1 missile aid defense systems were earlier supplied to Iran."
DEBKAfile's military sources draw two conclusions from the Russian official's comment: One, that Moscow first sold Tehran a short-range air defense system and is now following up with the long-range S-300 to round off the full range of its air defenses; and two, a sales pitch is advising the Arab regimes to count on Russia - rather than America - to look after their defensive requirements for important strategic sites just like Iran. The same message was conveyed by the gift of 10 MiG-29 fighter jets Moscow made to Lebanon earlier this month.
The Russian government's actions refute the soothing assurance by its Tel Aviv ambassador who denied Moscow planned a missile transaction with Iran or had begun deliveries.
EL PASO -- A Lebanese man who was part of a complex federal investigation into a suspected U.S. terrorist network with ties to al-Qaida is in custody at the El Paso immigration detention center facing deportation, officials have confirmed.
According to court documents, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, 44, told the FBI he was a freedom fighter in 1988 and 1989 against the Soviets in Afghanistan, where he also attended a jihad military training camp, provided small-arms instruction and was a sniper.
Elaine Komis, spokeswoman for the Executive Office of Immigration Review in Falls Church, Va., said her office could not discuss anything about the case due to a "non-disclosure order" by the Department of Justice. She said that the Department of Homeland Security initiated the case, and that it's now up to the Justice Department to decide Elzahabi's immigration status.
Adelina Pruneda, spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, in San Antonio, said Elzahabi is being held at the El Paso federal detention center. No other details, including his hearing date and name of his new lawyer, will be released as long as the non-disclosure order is in effect.
Elzahabi caught the attention of authorities in Canada, Minnesota, New York and Massachusetts, who learned he and three other men fought in Afghanistan and all became cab drivers in Boston. Elzahabi has continually denied he was part of a sleeper cell or terrorist group.
Thanks for the ping Oorang.
Unfortunately he is one of 1000's of terrorists coming through our borders illegally.
Thanks for the ping, O. Ditto your sentiment WCG.
Latest on Gaza campaign. Israeli intelligence was very much spot on. Hamas rocket response dropped to near zero and currently is substantially lower than previous days. Rockets being used are even less accurate.
It seems the air strikes are switching from stratigic targets to those necessary to shape the battlefield for a ground assault.
Iran is being shown as impotent by the current operations. Hizzbolah in Lebanon is silent. The only thing sturring in Iran are a bunch of fat clerics who'd wet their pants if they faced real combat.
Thanks, 'zilla. I imagine those "fat clerics" are squirming a bit.
No, the photos I saw still had them in Iran, trying to learn how to goose-step.
Thanks much for the update. My online time has been brief the past few days so I appreciate the synopsis.
Israeli news reports more rockets coming from gaza, however many are striking in the desert and away from people. IAF has nailed trucks carrying rockets to launch points - with multiple secondary explosions.
Sure do hope this isn't a Wag The Dog exercise for the Israeli elections....BZ on the IAF job so far in any case.
Agree. However, I've seen some disconnections between politics and the military at times. The strike on the Syrian nuclear facility for one. The fiasco in Lebanon a couple of years ago was micro managed by the politicos to provide cover for their illegal activity - which is in the open now. Finally, the IAF is going to hot and heavy on Hamas targets - and with great accuracy, definitely a well planned operation so far.
DUSHANBE -- Tajik authorities have arrested a local leader of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) in Afghanistan, RFE/RL's Tajik Service reports. The arrest follows a December decision by Tajik and Afghan security officials to cooperate in the arrest and extradition of wanted terrorist militants.
The IMU is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and other countries. According to Tajik spokesman Nozirzhon Buriev, IMU leader Anvarzhon Kaumov was transferred to Dushanbe to face trial for a string of attacks against police forces in northern Tajikistan last summer.
N. Korea May Conduct 2nd Nuclear Test
North Korea may raise the stakes with a threat to test-launch ballistic missiles or carry out a nuclear test early next year in line with the inauguration of the new United States government in a bid to get the upper hand in multilateral negotiations over its nuclear program, a report said Monday.
LONDON, Dec 28: Where is Al Qaeda going to hit next? tops a list of 14 key questions the Observer said would dominate the headlines in 2009 and concluded that the most likely next target would be the UK. However, before discussing the likely targets of Al Qaeda during the next year, Observer correspondent Jason Burke in his report claims that the terror organisation leadership itself was now on the run because of attacks from US drones in Pakistans tribal areas and also that Bin Laden was under attack from within the jihadi movement for failing to stage any major attack since 9/11.
The Al Qaeda leadership, said by security sources to comprise between 20 and 30 key figures, has been having a hard time of it recently. A concentration of attacks from unmanned American Predator drones in Pakistans western tribal zones has meant surviving has become as much of a priority as trying to organise spectacular militant attacks across the world aimed at radicalising and mobilising the worlds Muslim masses. These strikes have taken such a toll that Al Qaeda has launched a series of internal investigations aimed at finding the mole passing intelligence to the Americans.
Monmouth MP David Davies calls for arrest of all Al-Qaeda residents
Dec 29 2008
A WELSH MP yesterday called on the UK Government to either deport or arrest all British residents who appear on a United Nations list which names members and associates of Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Monmouth Conservative MP David Davies, the only Welsh member of the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee, said he was shocked to see 15 British residents on the list. All but three are apparently free.
Mr Davies said: This is not a speculative list the UN is not known to exaggerate or make unfounded claims. These people have been named as involved with Al-Qaeda and I dont think they should be walking the streets of this country. Either they should be deported or locked up.
It is little consolation that none of those named are said to be living in Wales. I hope at the very least they are all under constant surveillance. If they do the slightest thing, they should be locked up for a very long time. Al-Qaeda, as we all know, is a very dangerous terrorist organisation responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. I intend to raise this matter in Parliament in the New Year.
The 15 British residents on the list, which can be seen online at www.un.org/sc/committees/1267/consolidatedlist.htm, are all named as associates of terror group Al-Qaeda. They are:
~Libya-born British citizen Ghuma Abdrabbah, living in Birmingham;
~Libya-born British citizen Abdulbasit Abdulrahim, living in London, said to have raised funds for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group;
~Libya-born Abd Al-Rahman Al-Faqih, living in Birmingham;
~Saudi Arabian Dr Saad Rashed Mohammad Al-Faqih, living in London;
~Saudi Arabian Khalid Abd Al-Rahman Hamd Al-Fawaz, living in London;
~Syria-born British citizen Mohammed Al Ghabra, living in London;
~Egyptian Hani Al-Sayyid Al-Sebai, living in London;
~Gloucester-born Sajid Mohammed Badat, currently in prison in the UK after pleading guilty to planning to blow up an aircraft with a shoe bomb;
~Libyan Maftah Mohamed Elmabruk, living in London, said to have raised funds for the LIFG;
~Libya-born British citizen Abdelrazag Elsharif Elosta, living in London, said to have raised funds for the LIFG;
~Egyptian Al Sayyid Ahmed Fathi Hussein Eliwah, living in the UK with a UK passport;
~Egypt-born British citizen Mostafa Kamel Mostafa Ibrahim, better known as the radical cleric Abu Hamza, in jail after being convicted on 11 charges, including six of soliciting to murder;
~Libya-born British citizen Abdulbaqi Mohammed Khaled, living in Birmingham;
~Jordanian national Uthman Omar Mahmoud, better known as the radical cleric Abu Qatada, currently in prison in the UK after breaching bail conditions relating to his appeal against deportation. Wanted on terrorism charges in Algeria, the United States, Belgium, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Jordan;
~Libyan Tahir Nasuf, living in Manchester.
The list also includes six organisations with bases in the UK:
Weather and distraction by the calls for a cease fire has allowed Hamas to regroup and pull out rockets not destroyed in the initial attacks. Hamas is using its longer range rockets and is back to about 70-100 per day. Though inaccurate, psychologically effective. Israel stands at a cross roads. If they launch a ground operation, they will face internation scorn (though only Iran has really voiced support for Hamas). If they don't, they will be shown as weak and afraid - an act that will embolden Hamas and Hezbollah. A half way effort will cause excessive Israeli combat casualities - further demoralizing the country and causing a greater leadership crisis at a time where they must consider their response to Iran's nuclear potentials.
See y'all in 2009.
Israel's truly "at a crossroad".
May or may not be held responsible for starting this fight, but da** well better not back away from this chance to finish at least a part of it.
Have a happy (or at least as tolerable as you can make it) New Year.
I'm off to take the grandkids to the movies, then sip hot chocolate with 'em at midnight. Good stuff.
Enjoy those grandkids!
Wow, far more exciting than my nite (which will probably find me in bed by 9 asleep)
A Canadian citizen who was stopped at the Peace Bridge while trying to enter this country was charged Monday with conspiring to spy for his native Iraq under Saddam Hussein. The Justice Department criminal complaint accuses Mouyad Mahmoud Darwish, 47, of accepting payment from Iraqi government officials and intelligence officers for his information.
Darwish, who lived and worked in Maryland at the time, beginning in 2000 passed along secrets that included the news that the American military was training Iraqi volunteers in this country. Darwish and a co-conspirator who pleaded guilty are among at least a dozen people charged by the Justice Department since the American invasion of Iraq with spying on behalf of the Iraqi government or its intelligence agency under Saddam, federal authorities said.
Darwish was arrested on an FBI warrant last Wednesday at the border crossing in Buffalo. He is scheduled to appear today in U. S. District Court here. A Justice Department spokesman did not know Monday whether Darwish has a lawyer. After today, any future proceedings will take place in Maryland, said William J. Hochul Jr., chief of the National Security Division in the U. S. attorneys office in Buffalo.
Stowaways caught in LA
December 30, 2008
Two stowaways onboard a container ship were apprehended at the Port of Los Angeles. A joint federal team from the Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection was mobilized early Sunday to investigate a report of stowaways on a vessel en route to the port. The Coast Guard had been notified that two stowaways were discovered on the LA-bound container ship Zenit during an earlier port call. The stowaways were reported to be Nigerian nationals.
At approximately 6:30 a.m. Sunday the vessel was boarded by officers from the Coast Guard Cutter Halibut, a boarding team from the Maritime Safety and Security Team and Customs agents. The group took custody of the suspected stowaways and removed them from the ship.
Security chiefs in London are extremely concerned that Israels actions in Palestine will provoke a furious response by Islamic extremists based in the UK, with 4,000 active terrorists identified by a former head of the Met.
With the death toll in Gaza reaching 340 London has been put on a "high state of alert" following the violent clashes outside of the Israeli Embassy in Kensington and the worrying statistic that 4,000 terrorism suspects are active in the UK. Lord Stevens the head of the Met disclosed the figure that up to 4,000 terrorism suspects are active in the UK, and stated that police and MI5 were "still too under funded and undermanned to cope with the task they face in the decades to come. And that's how long this will last."
Security chiefs in London are concerned that the escalation of violence in Gaza with the prospects of a ground offensive by the IDF could provoke a violent response by Arab and Muslim Londoners with minority elements influenced by Al-Qaeda plotting reprisal attacks in London. MI5 have outlined the possible security threats posed by Al Qaeda:
IDF prepares for major Gaza battle: Israeli forces are ready to embark on a ground assault in Gaza, a senior military officer told Ynet Wednesday, adding that "anyone who thinks we'll be conducting ourselves gently is wrong." "Hamas has indeed prepared for this, but so did we," the IDF official said.
IDF officers say they are closely familiar with Hamas' military buildup but add that troops are prepared for the mission ahead. Ever since the Second Lebanon War, the IDF has been engaged in intensive training sessions and preparations ahead of a possible clash in the Strip. A ground assault on Gaza will be a challenge, yet military officials are saying loud and clear: "We're ready."
In recent years, Hamas has been engaged in a military buildup ahead of a possible IDF incursion. IDF officials familiar with the group's efforts say the organization comprises more than 15,000 troops, including Special Forces members and intelligence personnel. Hamas' army has been built in a hierarchical manner, and includes divisions, regiments, and platoons. The group's forces underwent an orderly training program, with some Hamas members sent for training in Syria and Iran. Moreover, Gaza Strip tunnels, some of which were destroyed in IDF bombings in recent days, have been used for smuggling in large quantities of explosives, the IDF says. The weapons that poured into Gaza include anti-tank rockets.
Hamas 'surprises' for IDF? Army officials say IDF troops should be expecting "nature reserves," similarly to what soldiers encountered in Lebanon while fighting Hizbullah. Hamas is believed to have prepared numerous underground sites containing various weapons. Military officials estimate that similarly to Hizbullah, which had some "surprises" for the IDF during the Second Lebanon War, Hamas may also be in possession of arms that Israel has no knowledge of.
"During the confrontation, Hamas will attempt to operate in an orderly manner and utilize many types of arms, such as explosive devices, snipers, and cells that will attempt to hit our forces," an IDF officer said. "We prepared in terms of protective equipment and also engaged in training exercises in order to address these threats.
The IDF's first challenge in case of a ground assault will likely be in the form of roadside bombs aimed at targeting tanks and armored vehicles. Hamas is believed to have dug pits in many Gaza roads and placed powerful explosive devices underground before covering them with cement. However, the Air Force's massive assault in the early days of Operation Cast Lead damaged dozens of Hamas facilities and may undermine the group's efforts.
Ping for a Happy and safe New Year to everyone!!
As Clock Strikes 12, U.S. Hands Iraq Control of Green Zone
When the clock struck midnight on Wednesday, the U.S. returned the palace to the Iraqi government and relinquished formal control over the Green Zone, a heavily fortified six-square-mile enclave on the Tigris River where key U.S. and Iraqi bureaucracies are situated.
The handover is a sign of the shrinking footprint and influence of the United States in a country where it has lost thousands of lives and spent billions of dollars. For many Iraqis, the handover represents a significant step forward in their gradual reassertion of dominion over their own affairs.
"On January 1, we are going to control this," Adnan Karim, 22, an Iraqi soldier manning a checkpoint at one of the entrances to the Green Zone, said, beaming. "The U.S. will be here just as observers. It's a matter of pride." .....

When you create a new document inside of Illustrator, you could choose to use either the CMYK or the RGB color space. Now, Illustrator sometimes makes the decision on its own based on the kind of profile that you use. For example, if I choose to create a print document, Illustrator automatically knows to set that document's color mode to CMYK. However, when you choose to create a web document, for example, you can see that it's set to RGB. In fact since Illustrator 9 came out, you are only able to specify a single color mode for any document. So for example, just like in Photoshop where you can choose Image and then Color Mode and change your mode to RGB and CMYK, the same thing applies to Illustrator. You can create RGB and CMYK content in the same file.
Knowing that however, you do need to be aware of a few things. For example, I'm actually going to create a Web document. That means I'm currently going to be with my color mode set to RGB. I'll click OK and I can always see that by the way by looking over here in the Tab of my document. It currently says I'm set to RGB. The reality though is that anytime that I'm working inside of my document, if I want to change that document color mode to be CMYK, I can do so by going to the File menu, choosing Document Color Mode and switching it to CMYK. Any artwork that's already in my file automatically goes through a conversion.
But it's important to note something about Illustrator. I'm actually going to go ahead and close my document here for a second. I'm going to open up my panels here. You could see that right now I have no document opened inside of Illustrator and I'll see there is no content in my Swatches or anywhere else in my panels for that matter. It's all kind of grayed out. However, when I create a Web document and I click OK, you can now see that suddenly my Swatches panel, my Color panel, all come alive with all these colors. Where did all those colors come from? The answer is that those colors came from the Web, New Document profile. We know that if I go over here to the Help menu, I could choose to go to my Welcome Screen. I can see that where it says Create New, I have Print Document, Web Document. These are all new document profiles that live on my hard-drive.
Whenever I click on a new document, Illustrator makes a copy of that document and opens it up as if it were a fresh new document. Hence, any content that was in that document now becomes part of the content of this file. So let me close this for now, and go back to the Web document that we created. It's important to realize that if I double-click on any of these swatches to see what their settings are, for example this one over here, it's currently set to RGB value. Now, obviously I'm working in RGB document, all the colors here are all RGB in nature. But let's say I go ahead and I actually draw a shape on my artboard and I fill it with that red color. Notice that it also has a stroke of black. Let me increase the stroke width just a little bit here, so we can pay more attention to it. Maybe now I realize as I'm kind of working in this document that, Uh! You know what? I actually need to print this and I want to convert this to the CMYK color space.
So I'll go to the File menu, I'll choose Document Color Mode and then I'll choose CMYK color. Now you can see that the color shifted a little bit. I have now gone through a conversion. My document itself is now CMYK. In fact, if I change the sliders in my Color panel here to be CMYK sliders, I can see that my fill over here was converted to 100 Yellow and 98.83 Magenta. That's because when I go to this RGB to CMYK conversion, I don't get exact numbers all the time. In fact, if you look at the black here, the black became -- known as what we refer to as a rich black. But even this is more rich than regular black because it contains odd values of all the different plates.
A print you would not be very happy when they saw a color that gets broken down in this particular way. It's just more difficult to control on press. But this is obviously easy enough for you to fix on your artboard. You can click on your object right over here. I'll go ahead and select this object here, and I'll go ahead and click on the Black Swatch here to fill this now 100% just using the K plate. Now, I'll switch to the Red and maybe I'll dial in a value of 100 and 100. That way, now I know I have that particular red color. But watch what happens now, I'm going to create a new shape on my artboard? That new shape right now, if I go ahead and I select it and I click on this Red Swatch because I want to apply a red color to it, goes back to that value. In fact if I go ahead now and I switch this to my swatch color, and I actually go ahead and I apply the Black Swatch, take a look at this. My black now returns to that black setting that was there before.
That happens for a very important reason. Inside of Illustrator, when I choose a color model, the thing that restricted that color model is simply my document itself. However, anything that appears inside of panels can actually be a mixture of both CMYK or RGB. So when I started out my document, I had an RGB document and because my document was created from the Web profile, it actually loaded a whole bunch of RGB Swatches inside of my Swatches panel. Simply by changing my document color mode to CMYK, only changed the artwork that was now on my artboard itself. But the swatches are still all RGB based. That means that every single time that I now apply a new color from the Swatches panel, I'm going through that RGB to CMYK conversion.
So really the best work-flow to ever kind of go through when you are trying to work or convert artwork from RGB to CMYK is to actually take your document that's currently using RGB, select the artwork that you want, copy it, and then paste it into a new CMYK document. That way, all the swatches that are in that CMYK document will all be CMYK. Then once you correct all your values the first time, you will never have to worry about those values going back again. In fact, this whole exercise brings out a really important point. You may find yourself during the day-- of course we are all very busy during the day. We have lots of files opened on our screen. Where I open up a particular document and I go ahead and I apply a color and I see that the color gets broken down into all these percentages.
Take a quick look and make sure that your document is actually set to CMYK, because if you are seeing these kinds of values, there is a good chance that your document itself is still RGB or your document is started out as an RGB document and sometime later was converted to CMYK. In those cases again, the best thing you can do is simply select all of your artwork, you could choose to paste remember layers option, so that all your layers are maintained and then paste that artwork into a new CMYK document.

Victoria Defrancesco Soto: Rubio's two-stage strategy of showing the GOP he's conservative while signaling to the general population that he is also compassionate is the reason for his recent coyness on the issue of immigration.
Latinos in the South, A Political Piñata
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: The 2010 mid-term election demonstrated that immigration issues could be a potent political force within the GOP. Candidates across the country, and in particular in the South came into office by espousing harsh anti-immigration policies.
Anti-Immigrant State Senator Recalled
Michele Waslin: Today, many in Arizona and across the U.S. celebrate Pearce's defeat as a victory for practical solutions over extremist rhetoric and anti-immigrant proposals.
A Look Into Lamar Smith's Anti-Immigrant Agenda
Andrea Nill: Described as a lawmaker who is "less interested in getting in the spotlight and more interested in driving immigrants out of the country," Smith will undoubtedly use his leadership position to push through his anti-immigrant agenda.
Young Immigrant Breaks Down While Sharing Her 'Greatest Fear' With Obama
Andrea Nill: The Obama administration can do something about processing backlogs, however it's up to Congress to reform the immigration system.Currently, the visa system is currently outdated by over twenty years and does not meet the needs or demands of a 21st century globalized economy — let alone immigrant families.
Europe Grapples With Immigration Issue
Andrea Nill: Rather than adopting the marginalizing policies that have aggravated Europe's immigration woes, the U.S. would be better off leading the way in building a humane immigration system that's in tune with today's modern global economy.
Happy Cinco de Boycott!
Mario Solis-Marich: A sore spot among Latinos has long been that America accepts our cultural best while openly vilifying us in general. Salsa has long replaced ketchup as our country's favorite condiment. Suburbanites love the hard work ethic that is embedded in our cultural DNA and that they so readily hire. Tierra, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Eve Longoria, Raquel Welch, Vicky Carr are loved. Yet these same people are conflated by the media with drug smugglers and terrorists. The disconnect is painfully irritating and quite frankly politically and socially unsustainable.
Anti-Immigrant Group Mistakenly Bashes Cornyn's 'Pro-Amnesty' Stance
A few days ago, the anti-immigrant group, Numbers USA further relegated itself to the right-wing fringe by denouncing a potential "mainstream" ally, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and his "frightening pro-amnesty" stance. Shortly before President Obama's Thursday bipartisan meeting on immigration reform, Numbers USA issued an email to its members bashing Cornyn: "Sen. Cornyn has been […]

FC Barcelona not only gained three points and maintained their unbeaten streak intact in La Liga (17 games) as they crushed Levante 0-4 on Sunday, but Tito Vilanova's men demoralized their eternal rival Real Madrid and sent José Mourinho complaining all the way down to 11 points behind Barça.
Victor Valdés had a monster save on José Barkero's shot in the 13th minute as Levante had the first threat in the game. Dani Alves had to leave the game in the 14th minute with a muscular injury and was replaced by Martin Montoya.
With Montoya's entrance, all 11 Barça players that were on the pitch were all La Masia products.
Definitely a moment in history.
Lionel Messi missed his first real shot in the 23rd minute as Leo's shot from near the top of the box went just wide right of the post. Xavi's long range shot missed left in the 24th minute. Xavi took a quick half volley shot in the 30th minute, but his shot rolled right into Levante goalkeeper Gustavo Munúa's hands. Levante had another shot just a minute later as Barkero missed from close range. A corner kick was headed toward net by Juanfran, who nearly set up his teammate Obafemi Martins for a goal, but Martins didn't react in time and the ball rolled out for a goal kick. Gerard Pique just missed heading in a goal from a corner kick in the 42nd minute.
In the second half, Lionel Messi got Barcelona in the lead thanks to a great pass from Andrés Iniesta. Messi lobbed the ball over Munúa to give the Catalans the lead in the 48th minute. Barkero almost made a wonder goal in the 50th minute as his volley just missed left of Valdés.
Messi got a brace on the night in the 52nd minute as once again Andrés Iniesta found Messi inside the box and Leo slide it into the back of the net to double the lead. It was Messi's 11th brace on the season.
Andrés Iniesta decided to get his goal in the 57th minute as Don Andrés blasted a shot from the top of the penalty box and beat Munúa for the 3-0 lead and Barcelona's third goal in 11 minutes.
Cesc Fabregas got into the fun in the 63rd minute as once again Iniesta found a teammate on the left side. Cesc got the give-and-go from Andrés and Fabregas passed a sliding Munúa and—with a great touch—slid the ball in for the fourth goal for el blaugrana.
With his third assist on the night, Andrés Iniesta became the second player in La Liga this season to record a three-assist game. The other player with a three-assist game this Liga season: Cesc Fabregas.
With the fourth goal, FC Barcelona became the first Liga club to score four goals in four consecutive road games.
Valdés got a great save on Martins in the 65th minute as the home side tried to get something started. Adriano made his return from injury for Barcelona in the 75th minute as the Brazilian replaced Jordi Alba.
Close to the 90-minute mark, a penalty was given to Levante as the referee called a foul on Carles Puyol. Barkero stepped up to take the kick, but Valdés was a beast and stopped Barkero's shot and the rebound as well. According to OptaSports.com, only Andrés Palop (Sevilla) and Diego Alves (Valencia) have saved more PKs than Valdés in La Liga in the last 10 years.
For the weekend, Victor Valdés > Iker Casillas.
Final: Levante 0–4 FC Barcelona
What looked like what could be a complicated game for Barcelona turned out to be a rout for the Catalans. The Man of the Match was Andrés Iniesta and deservedly so (three assists, one golazo).
With 12 wins and one draw, FC Barcelona has now equalized the best start in La Liga history after 13 games, matching the 1991-92 Real Madrid record.
Barcelona's win combined with Real Madrid's loss to Real Betis on Saturday, Barcelona is now 11 points ahead of Real Madrid in the Liga table.
Let's look at the four most important things "From The Mind of Xoel" from this game, including the question all Liga fans are asking: Is La Liga done already?

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy are meeting in Berlin Monday to address the growing debt crisis in the eurozone.
Both leaders say boosting the economy and ensuring funds are used to boost employment are the first order of business.
The two hope to produce new fiscal guidelines by March to keep Europe's debt crisis from overtaking the eurozone.
Newly appointed Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti will join them on Wednesday.
With its huge debt load requiring heavy borrowing in the first quarter of 2012, Italy is a key focus of the meetings because of its size.
Meanwhile, Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos warned that his country could default on its debt payments if details of a second bailout aren't finalized quickly.
"If we want to secure our most significant achievements -- participation in the euro and avoidance of a massive, vertical income devaluation that a disorderly bankruptcy and exit from the euro would lead to...then we must accept a short-term income reduction," Papademos told union leaders and employers' federations.
Both Merkel and Sarkozy want to see Greece remain in the eurozone.
Merkel told reporters that doing so would a "step-by-step" process with no "single-dimension solution."

This week, an article by Mark Naison, "How Attacks on Teachers and Government Workers Will Impact All Our Lives," drew the following exchange between Ryder and Steve Wider.
How Attacks on Teachers and Government Workers Will Impact All Our Lives
Mark Naison: The attack on Teachers Unions has been driven by foundations and funding sources traditionally associated with the Democratic Party and has been enthusiastically endorsed by the Obama Administration.
Congress: Still Working Hard at Being Ineffective, Useless Seat-Warmers

Cuba's "Silent Transition" Toward A Free Market Economy
Sherwood Ross: Whatever the shape of the future, Raul Castro, who promised Cuba would never return to capitalism, appears to be doing just that.
The Seven Biggest Economic Lies
Robert Reich: Here's a short effort to rebut the seven biggest whoppers now being told by those who want to take America backwards.
Why Was Obama Missing-in-Action in Wisconsin?
Peter Dreier: Throughout Wisconsin Democrats' struggle, President Barack Obama has been sitting on the sidelines, failing to use his bully pulpit to encourage the burgeoning movement to protect working families from the corporate- and Tea Party-sponsored attacks.
The Death of Public Service
Steve Hochstadt: Republican governors across the country argue that teachers and police and all the other employees of local and state governments make much too much money.
Big Republican Lies About Jobs
Robert Reich: Truth doesn't seem to matter. Republicans figure if their big lies are repeated often enough, people will start to believe them. Unless, that is, those big lies are repudiated – and big truths are told in their place.
For a Man May Smile and Smile and Still Be a Villain
"Why do they keep sending me budgets I won't sign?", the Governor asked, after saying no, once again, to any proposal but his own, cuts-only solution. And, since he had all the guns, no one in the Legislature asked in return, "Why does he keep refusing our budgets?"

How Do You Find Out Someone's Date of Birth?
How Do You Find Out Someone's Date of Birth?. You don't need to be a private detective to find out the date someone was born. Maybe you're planning a surprise birthday party and want to make sure you have all the details right, or maybe you're trying to estimate someone's general age. For whatever the reason, you can calculate the date someone was born in just a few minutes using the appropriate methods.
Step 1
Ask the family or friends of the person in question. If you want to find out someone's date of birth without alerting them to the fact you are trying to find this information, ask those close to them. A significant other, a parent, a sibling or other type of family member or close personal acquaintance will be able to provide you with that person's date of birth.
Step 2
Look on the person's driver's license. All state driver's licenses will contain the month, day and year of their birth printed on the face of the card. If you can get a peak at the person's license you can find all the information you need.
Step 3
Have a supervisor look up the person's date of birth on their employment records or application. If you're trying to find out the date of birth of a coworker to plan a surprise party, for example, ask a supervisor if they can look up the exact date on these original records. Only supervisors and people in management positions will have the authority to look at these types of records.
Step 4
Check the person's social networking profiles. If you know the person in question has a Facebook or MySpace profile, for example, log onto your own Facebook or MySpace profile and check theirs. There is a good chance that the person's date of birth would be listed on their social networking profile.

is all this paper art bad for the environment? or do we all use recycled card?
anyway looking good for 2008.

Jazzman:Yup it's gonna be hard to wait. I've been working on it since last summer! I just had to share the cool work of these great artist. The next few months are going to be busy busy.
Jon:I do use recycled card and paper is at least a renewable resource. Ben the Illustrator said something like,Paper toys use less paper than most regular toys use in there packaging alone. Plus at the end of the day when they hit the landfill they are biodegradable.
Scott: The record player Santa thingy was made by Mike Adair at Hallmark Cards. I didn't have anything to do with that it just shows up as a related video. It featured the characters Hoops and Yoyo that are owned by Hallmark Cards so I'm sure I can't get it in the book:( To bad too it's such a wonderful papertoy!
I'll have to ask Mike if it was ever made available.

We decided on a modern theme for our living room this time around and my husband wanted something to put on the wall that would give it a little pop. I really like the split black and white design and it is a great conversation piece. Overall, we are glad we purchased it, for the size and the price, it was a great deal!!

Historical Traveler Reviews Savill Court Hotel & Spa Egham
Truly dreadful
Last night's stay confirms all the reviews so far, I'm afraid. Our booking for nine had been mysteriously "cancelled", although our meeting room booking was intact. We nearly got bumped to nearby Belmont Hotel. If only. Our rooms at Savill Court were cramped, shabby, cold. Two double rooms turned out to be single. Exposed wiring in second floor corridor had me checking out fire exits as I seriously worried about wiring. My shower alternately scalded and froze me, and reception seemed suprised and noted it down. On discovering that five of us experienced the identical shower problem, we realized that staff are probably fully aware, and perhaps the management fear litigation if the problem is acknowledged by staff.
There was only one member of staff who had any finesse, the general standard was Fawlty Towers and then some. The hotel is expecting to complete refurbishments by end of 2005 (though work in progress suggests a much later date) and clearly there has been no proper investment for years. We did not take dinner or breakfast, and on reading other reviews, I'm very glad.
The setting is sumptous, the exterior lovely, but this hotel feels demoralised and forlorn. I would not have stayed another night.
Ruby wedding party
This hotel ruined what should have been a happy event namely a 40th wedding
party with numerous guest staying overnight.
All our confirmed bookings were wrong with people being allocated the wrong accomodation. The quality of the food for our party was to say the least sub-standard but what upset our guests most was the attitude of the staff who had a couldn't care a less attitude ,this only to be surpassed by their management team.
Dispite complaining at the time ,the management proportion the blame onto head office.
This hotel was once a 4 star establishment .I believe it is now 3 star but personnally I would not even give it 1 star.
A hotel to be avoided......
Great Grounds - Terrible Accommodation
Stayed at the Savill Court on a business trip earlier this week. After driving through the lovely grounds and admiring the impressive outer appearance of the hotel we were bitterly dissapointed when we checked in.
The rooms were just about big enough to swing a cat. (We had booked twin rooms for single occupancy but were given single rooms) I had no remote control for the ancient T.V., no hairdryer, the mini-bar was empty, water poured through the ceiling from someone upstairs having a shower, the decor was dirty and shabby.....I could go on......
The restaurant was bitterly cold, we had to ask twice for the air-conditioning to be turned down.
The staff were not the most helpful in the world and when I complained about the standard of room I was given a puzzled look and a wry smile.
After leaving the hotel I found that I had been charged �10.00 more for my room than my other 3 colleagues...I can only guess that I had paid more for a double shower!!
Food and drinks were over priced.
I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
The hotel blurb is correct - when you drive up you do get an impression of seclusion and grandeur.....but it ends the moment you walk through the doors.
Reception had totally muddled up my company's booking and the reception staff were, with just a couple of exceptions, the most unhelpful hotel staff I have ever come across.
My room was tiny, cramped and very shabby. There wasn't even space for a wardrobe - just a tiny alcove with a pole. The shower did not work properly and the radio would not switch off. The extractor fan was permanently on in the shower room and featured a faulty part which resulting in a high pitched screaching from the wretched machine throughout the night. The duvet was feather filled - all in the bottom right hand corner none in the rest. But you didn't need it anyway as the room was overheated without a working thermostat. The decor didn't even run to a proper duvet cover (just a sheet slipover) or a bedspread.
The TV did work but I had to perch on the bed to watch it - bent double because of the velux roof.
The lighting in the conference room did not work so our presentations were done in the dim gloom provided by the couple of emergency type lights.
The grounds are lovely - so the al fresco events may be good BUT do not sleep there and if you must, don't get fobbed off with a single room on the second floor - they are simply awful.
Great Mini Break
As a thank you for extended custom and positive promotion one of their hotels in the north east of England, Countrytown/Macdonald hotels offered me a reduced rate to stay in any of the hotels in their chain. My family, especially my 6 yr old son, thought this would be an ideal opportunity to visit Legoland and the nearest hotel in this particular chain is the Savill Court. I researched the hotel on TripAdvisor and noted some concerns from other guests but we took the view that we were getting a favourable room rate and it was convenient for our planned itinerary. Let me say, I would have been happy to pay the full rate as we had a fabulous long weekend break.
Savill Court is an imposing building set in beautiful, wooded surroundings. The exterior of the building is very impressive and must have been a magnificent family home when privately owned.
There was a slight problem with our reservation (not reception's fault) which was quickly and efficiently dealt with. An additional bed for our son was provided in our room which contrary to other guests' comments was not cramped and cell-like but fairly spacious, comfortable, clean and offering a lovely view over the extensive gardens.
This hotel is popular with wedding parties (there were 3 receptions during our stay) but that does not suggest other guests' needs are overlooked. All the staff were cheerful and helpful. A substantial, well cooked breakfast was provided in a delightfully airy room overlooking the gardens which are teeming with squirrels and rabbits, much to my son's delight. We ate in the Fuller bar one evening. It's not cheap but the food was of good quality and portions were large enough for my son and wife to share a meal. House wine at �16.00 a bottle is rather expensive.
This is a great place from which to explore Berkshire and London. We visited Windsor Castle, Eton College and Chapel as well as cruising down the Thames on a river cruiser. We spent a fabulous day at Legoland (go when its raining- the queues are considerably less and the rain doesn't wash away the thrills) and another day in London at the Tower and on the Eye. All in all a fabulous mini break in which the Savill Court's comfort, convenience and customer care added to the enjoyment.
Shabby, run down, dated. Incredibly bad bar service (stale beer served with a frown) and the roof leaked when it rained! Tiny miserable bedrooms.
Glad to see that all the other reviews here show the place in its true light.
Fawlty Towers without the humour!
Nice grounds shame about the bedrooms!
Stayed last weekend for my brother in-law's wedding. Day service was good but booked a double smoking and got a single with a zed bed, non smoking. Fittings were loose, upholstory and decor dated and of poor condition. Breakfast was given mouldy toast twice!! For such a potentially stunning hotel it is in grave need of an upgrade. Would never stay there again. Nearly everyone complained at check out and would certainly not and did not pay the �90.00 B&B
Saville Court !!!!!!!!!!!
An absolutey terrible stay. shame as I booked a two night stay for my friends wedding. The rooms were of a very sub-standard for the price. I asked to be changed as my first room had a pull out bed and had to wait till the next afternoon.
The decor left a lot to be desired last refit circ 1980?
The showers did not work properly and the hotel staff were less than helpfull, mainly due to there lack of command of the english language.
Not a hotel I would recomend to anyone. Though it does have the potential to be a very good hotel lovely grounds and a good ballroom
Extremely Disappointing and Overpriced
Three of us stayed here on a business trip and not one of us had a pleasant room. They were overpriced prison cells, and the restaurant too was overpriced for the quality of the food. The conference facilities were good however, but, if you are attending one, I would strongly recommend that you stay elsewhere.
Beautiful building, shame about the hotel inside
Gorgeous building ? an historic house in lovely grounds, close to Windsor, in attractive grounds. Yet it's twenty or so years since the hotel opened ? initially as a conference centre ? and it shows. A maze of corridors; minute rooms ? comfortable, yet ever-so slightly shabby. A bathroom with a shower only. A restaurant that was too cold to eat in (literally ? I went back up to my room and ordered room service instead). But at least it's cheap.

I see no damages just the brown on two of the leaves. The holders, leaves and grapes are glass. 9" by 5" and will hold a 1" across candle.
