In the midst of our current Conference Finals Series, let's take a look back at some of the most memorable moments of the top five Conference Finals series of the past five seasons.
NHL: Top Five Conference Finals of the Last Five Years
By Reed Kaufman ,
The all Pennsylvania Eastern Conference Final may have only gone five games, but I really didn't think the Flyers were ever out of it until that fifth game was over, and I speculate that it would have been much closer had Philly D-men Kimmo Timmonen not suffered a blot and Braydon Cobrun not needed 50 stitches after taking a puck to the face.
This was the first playoff run for young stars Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, and they just happened to run up against the Pittsburgh juggernaut that would win the Cup in the following year.
No one expected Philadelphia to make it that far in 2008, and no one expected them to be there again today in 2010. Now, with a stronger defensive corps and more experienced forwards, can they take the next step to the Stanley Cup Finals?
This five-game series is about as close as we could come to seeing a bottom two seed conference final until it actually came to fruition this season with the No. 7 Philadelphia Flyers and the No. 8 Montreal Canadiens.
What did occur in 2006 however was every bottom seed knocking off each and every top seed in the first round of the playoffs. On the flip side, in the East every bottom seed lost to their respective top seeds. It was a remarkable occurrence that I speculate we'll never see again.
One specific storyline from this series is particularly interesting.
Chris Pronger, now with the Philadelphia Flyers, would join the Anaheim Ducks in the following season after coming up short in the Stanley Cup Finals in this year. The Ducks would win the could for the first time in franchise history upon Pronger's arrival in 2007.
We'll see if Pronger can bring the same type of fortune to the Philadelphia Flyers in his first year there. They currently hold a 2-0 series lead over the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Again, another series that only lasted five games and was much closer than it seemed.
This series had it all, from highlight reel goals (seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs2XiyLYJOo) to hits (pictured here) which knocked Martin Havlat all the way to Minneapolis.
The Red Wings obviously proved to be too much to handle for the young Blackhawks, but it was clear that this would not be the last we would see from the talented youth in Chicago, as is evident this year with the Hawks currently leading the Sharks 2-0 in their conference finals matchup.
In 2008, the Dallas Stars faced what I believe to be the toughest road to the Cup of any team in the last five seasons.
In the first round they squared off with defending champion Anaheim Ducks, and both teams were considered by many to be favorites for making a run at the Cup in 2008.
They squeaked by the Ducks in six hard-fought contests and moved on to battle the San Jose Sharks, another highly-touted squad that was sure to make waves in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in '08.
This was another very physical series, and the defensive minded Stars, led by Marty Turco in goal, held off the attack of the Sharks in another six-game series.
But two main obstacles would give the Red Wings the first three games of the 2008 Western Conference Finals: fatigue and the Detroit's scoring depth. The Stars would regain their footing and win the next two to force a game six, but the eventual Stanley Cup winners would prove too much to handle.
This series was notable for marking perhaps the best postseason performance of Marty Turco, who was arguably the main reason the Stars made it to the WCF.
With Turco's future uncertain, would this be his last claim to fame, or will free agency send him to another Cup contender for another run at it? Only time will tell.
We all love a Game Seven. Just look at last year's Stanley Cup Finals Game Seven, something hockey fans will remember for years to come.
It's no co-incidence that the only NHL conference finals series of the last five years to go seven games was the most exciting.
During the Carolina Hurricanes 2006 Stanley Cup run, they took it to the final game of the series to get to those finals, barely edging out the Buffalo Sabres 4-2. This game after back-to-back OT dramas in Game Five and Six with each team taking one of those games.
Buffalo has yet to come as close to the Stanley Cup Finals as they did here, and Carolina made it back in 2008 only to get swept by the Pens.
It would also set up the first Stanley Cup for 35 year old Rod Brind'Amour, who motivated his teammates by saying, "I'm an old guy, and I won't get a lot more kicks at this can," before that Game Seven.
It took Brind'Amour 140 playoff battles before hoisting the Stanley Cup, and as fans we always find the longest road the most intriguing, as with Ray Bourque in 2001.
Will we be blessed with a seven game conference finals series in 2010? The way things are currently going, it doesn't look that way, but let us not forget that the odds have been against the Canadiens since they entered the playoffs as the eighth seed, yet here they are, and that the San Jose Sharks have perhaps the most talented scoring line in the NHL.
If we have learned nothing else from this list, it's that in the playoffs, anything can happen.

Saving Money On Insurance
Trustees in Belmont County's Wheeling Township found a way last year to ensure employees have health insurance at a net savings of around $20,000 a year. That may not sound like much until you realize the township has just two employees.
Comparable savings for larger local government entities, some with scores or hundreds of employees, could be a major boon.
Before last year, Wheeling Township paid about $63,800 a year to provide insurance to the two employees and three township trustees. That works out to $12,760 per person.
Eager to save some taxpayers' money, trustees agreed to drop the coverage on themselves. Savings from that move totaled about $38,280 a year.
Then, trustees canceled health insurance the township had provided for the two employees, and instead paid them $2,400 each to help defray the cost of coverage they obtained on their own. In effect, that provided the workers with coverage at a price tag about $20,720 less than if the township had continued providing insurance. Savings amounted to $10,360 per employee.
Seven townships in Belmont County use the same system, while six continue to offer group insurance programs and three do not provide coverage for employees.
Projecting $10,000 in annual health insurance savings for each public employee is a risky calculation, of course. Many factors, including workers' ages and claim histories, go into setting insurance rates. And normally, group insurance programs are less costly per person than policies bought by individuals.
Still, the fact remains that Wheeling Township saved a sizable amount of money for taxpayers. The strategy trustees used there is something other local government officials in both East Ohio and the Northern Panhandle should consider.

Wylie Dufresne Is Hiring At His New East Village Pub
by Mariella Mosthof | 4:24 pm, December 19th, 2012
We're so ready for it to be "early spring" (right after actual Christmas, of course, and yeah, okay, fine, we can wait out New Year's, too) because that's when Wylie Dufresne's second New York restaurant — a pub serving "modern casual fare" called Alder — is scheduled to open.
According to Culintro, AKA Monster.com for the restaurant industry, the spot is currently seeking a manager, which we really hope means that everything is running according to plan and there won't be any delays. We're dying, here. And it's not just us! Andrew Knowlton just put Alder on Bon Appetit's list of Restaurants to Watch in 2013.

"Wolves start slow, cruise to 41-20 thrashing of CK"
"The South Kitsap High School football team overcame a sluggish start against Central Kitsap before running away with a 41-20 victory Friday night at Joe Knowles Field in Port Orchard.Knotted at 13-13 midway through the second quarter the Wolves reeled off the next 28 points before the start of the fourth quarter.A one-yard touchdown run from CK quarterback Dylan Robbins late in the final stanza made the score more respectable.SK junior running back Ryan Cole rushed for 236 yards on 15 carries, including touchdown runs of 75,12, and 80 yards.He has a season-total 888 yards rushing.SK senior quarterback Anthony Fein enjoyed the best passing game of his SK career, completing three of six passes for 103 yards with a touchdown and an interception.Senior R.J. Lange caught two passes for 55 yards.CK was led by senior running back Eric Roy, who pounded through the SK defense for a touchdown and 150 yards on 25 carries.Mike Kluge was CK's second-leading rusher, with 57 yards.SK senior Josh Chilton caught a 58-yard touchdown pass on a quick slant in the first quarter to give SK a 13-6 lead, but CK countered on a Kluge one-yard touchdown run.Following the ensuing kickoff early in the second quarter, the Wolves mounted what turned out to be the crucial drive of the game.Starting from their own 20-yard line, SK managed a 10-play drive, culminated by a Mat Morey seven-yard touchdown run on a fourth down and inches play.The Wolves had an opportunity to add to their lead late in the second half after a CK turnover, but Fein's interception gave the ball back to CK with just over a minute to play. CK was unable to produce a drive and was forced to punt with just over a minute remaining.Returning a punt for the first time in the game, SK's Gary Snyder made it a memorable return for the SK squad.After catching the ball at midfield, Snyder raced down the left side untouched.He then switched gears and cut across the field and went the direction of his blockers to score a touchdown and give SK a 27-13 lead going into halftime.The Wolves iced the game on the team's first possession of the third quarter.Cole and senior fullback Shane Starkweather combined for 65 yards rushing on the drive. Cole capped the drive with a 12-yard touchdown run.Cole poured salt into the Cougars wounds late in the third quarter when he ran over tacklers up the middle en route to an 80-yard touchdown run, which gave SK a 41-13 lead.SK coach D.J. Sigurdson said he was pleased with the improvement with his defense as the game wore on.After Roy and Kluge burned the defense early, SK bounced back and started to get a feel for CK's deceptive offense.I think the kids just kind of adjusted, Sigurdson said. They got a little better at trusting their keys. We slid the tackles over a little bit but that was it. The kids just played better.Lange said it just took some time before the defense started to get in a groove.It took a while to get us warmed up and settled in and get used to their offense, Lange said. But after we used to them we got them. "

Measuring the Extensional Rheology of Polymer Melts16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549257View Description Hide Description
A necessary prerequisite of the scientific design of polymer processing operations is a fundamental understanding of the rheology of melts. In fiber spinning the dominant rheological response has simple extensional geometry and we require information about viscosity,elasticity, and fracture during such flows. Industry needs both absolute quantitative information and also inexpensive qualitative tests for multiple samples. Experimentation demands the greatest quantity of accurate information at minimum cost, and this philosophy underlies a critical revue of approaches to measuring the rheology of polymer melts under tension. The decisive techniques so far developed lack versatility and are not suitable for multiple testing. The continuous drawing of a monofilament, or laboratory spinning, is an excellent qualitative approach but sufficient experimental control has yet to be attained. Two indirect routes, through normal stresses to a "normal" viscosity and by steady shear/dynamic rheometry correlation to an "irrotational" viscosity, are superficially attractive but theoretical complexity is a major problem. The most promising industrial approach is the study of converging flows. Analysis of melt flowing from a reservoir into a die yields a simple method of obtaining apparent extensional rheology data which is compatible with, and supplementary to, the results offered by the direct methods of measurement. The analysis allows the ubiquitous capillary rheometer to become a simple extensional flow meter. It is the alliance of the definitive, but costly and temperamental, methods with inexpensive simple qualitative techniques that forges rheological tools for tackling industrial problems.
Development of a Universal Extensional Rheometer for the Uniaxial Extension of Polymer Melts16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549258View Description Hide Description
A recent development in extensional rheometry of molten polymers is based on the use of a pair of gears as a 'rotational clamp'. In a tensile tester for polymer melts, the rotational clamp provides the draw‐down of the melt being extruded out of the die of a melt indexer. The result is a quick characterization of extensibility and tensile strength. In a new extensional rheometer, two rotational clamps are used which extend homogeneously a molten polymer rod floating on a silicone oil bath. For constant rotational speeds of the clamps, the (Hencky) strain rate is constant. The creep test with constant tensile stress can be performed in the same rheometer making use of a servo motor of quick response with an appropriate servo control. A further modification of the servo control is described by means of which any uniaxial stress or strain history can be imposed on the melt under test, with stress the only constraint. In this rheometer, the extensional behavior of a LDPE melt was measured at 150°C under a variety of mechanical conditions. The data presented demonstrate the versatility of the apparatus.
A Bubble Inflation Technique for the Measurement of Viscoelastic Properties in Equal Biaxial Extensional Flow16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549259View Description Hide Description
A bubble inflation technique for establishing equal biaxial extensional flow in viscoelastic materials is presented. This technique was used to measure biaxial extensional viscosity and elastic properties of a polyisobutylene at room temperature (23°C). A theoretical experimental procedure, based on certain idealizations, was developed for establishing bubble growth under constant stress. Modifications of the experimental design were introduced to correct for the nonidealities encountered in practice. The accuracy and reliability of the measurements are tested, and sources of error, and possibilities for future work are discussed. Several constitutive equations are examined with respect to biaxial extensional flow. Predicted behavior patterns are compared with experimental results.
Studies on Melt Spinning. I. Effect of Molecular Structure and Molecular Weight Distribution on Elongational Viscosity16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549260View Description Hide Description
A melt spinning experiment has been carried out to correlate spinning variables with the molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and long chain branching of the polymer being spun. Materials chosen for study were three high density polyethylenes having widely different molecular weight distributions, a low density polyethylene having much long chain branching, a polystyrene, and a polypropylene. Molecular characteristics and rheological properties of the materials in simple shearing flow had been independently determined. For the study, a bench scale, melt spinning apparatus was built, and measurements were taken of thread tensions at the take‐up device. The axial profiles of thread diameter were measured by a photographic technique. The molten fibers traveled through a heated chamber maintained at the same temperature as the melt. These measurements were then used to determine the elongational viscosity in the absence of any temperature effect.
Interpretation of Tensile and Melt Spinning Experiments on Low Density and High Density Polyethylene16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549261View Description Hide Description
Isothermal Spinning of Molten Polyethylenes16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549262View Description Hide Description
The behavior of a series of molten polyethylenes has been studied in the extensional flow field of a fiber spinning apparatus. Separate rheogoniometric measurements have been made of the physical properties in shearing flows and the experimental results of the fiber spinning experiment are compared with the predictions obtainable using constitutive relationships in which all of the parameters are determinable from appropriate shearing experiments. Stress levels more than one order of magnitude greater than those predicted on the assumption of isothermal Newtonian behavior were observed.
Stability Analysis of the Fiber Spinning Process16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549263View Description Hide Description
The Effect of Strain History on the Crystallization Behavior of Bulk Poly(ethylene Terephthalate)16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549281View Description Hide Description
The crystallization of bulk tensile samples of glassy, amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) was studied as a function of various deformation and annealing treatments. Per cent crystallinity, orientation function, crystallite size, and long period spacing were measured to characterize the samples. Crystallization, necking, and orientation occurred during straining when, at a given temperature, the strain rate was sufficient to generate a critical stress level within the material. During subsequent annealingcrystallization was nucleated by the crystallites formed during deformation. The observed behavior was consistent with a model proposed by Dismore and Statton for drawn nylon 66 yarns and which was previously discussed by Dumbleton for the case of poly(ethylene terephthalate).
Fundamentals of False‐Twist Texturing of Thermoplastic Continuous Filament Yarns16(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.549264View Description Hide Description
This paper describes the state of development for false‐twist texturing of thermoplastic continuous filament yarns. Supply yarn parameters are shown to significantly affect the textured product. Quantitative and qualitative information is given to describe these effects. The thermodynamic and crystallization rate parameters are presented for nylon 6, nylon 66, and polyethylene‐terepthalate. Equations are given for calculation of temperature‐time profiles in yarns during texturing. Both the fundamentals of twisting using spindle or friction twisters are summarized. The effect of process variables on twist distribution and crimp rigidity are presented. Finally, experiments are described which show how force‐elongation curves for textured nylon 6 can be made similar to nylon 66. Recommendations for future work are discussed. Ways are needed to improve the dye uniformity and reduce barré from textured yarns in piece‐dyed fabrics. More information should be reported on the effect of processing constants (tension and temperature gradients) on crystallization rate phenomena and structural changes during texturing. Basic information on the effect of yarn and process constants on friction twisting with the many commercial units needs reported. The final goal of this fundamental work should be a mathematical model, which rigorously describes the texturing process. With this model, yarn and machinery manufacturers could optimize their products more fully for the use of the texturing mills.

Over $1.5 million you get more house in Wayland, the amount of detail, building quality, style and features tend to be higher for the same price in Sudbury.
Under $1.5m you get more house in Sudbury.
Something to take into consideration between the two towns, Sudbury has completed all the large infrastucture projects, i.e. schools & public buildings so that is already factored into the property tax rate, Wayland has completed many but is still in the process, so the tax rate may be impacted.

RE: Coney Island to the Brooklyn Bridge (bus,train)?
There are 4 trains that take you from Manhattan (where I assume you're staying) to Coney Island. They are the N,D,Q and f. Coney Island is the last stop for all these trains and drop you off right across the street from the boardwalk and Nathans! The train is the "quickest" way to get from Manhattan to C.I.
To get from C.I. to the Brooklyn Bridge you can take the F train from C.I. to the York Street stop (the last stop in Brooklyn and the cross street is Jay Street) from there I would guess that it is a 10 minute walk to the base of the bridge.
Here is the MTA bus map of Brooklyn so you can get an idea of where the F train stop is in relation to the Bridge. mta.info/nyct/maps/busbkln.p...
Im not an expert on Brooklyn, but have walked across the bridge and it's just beautiful. Coney Island is fun too, although they are scheduled to start a lot of construction there within the year.

Young people have an essential role to play in the development of regional town centres, according to leading Australian futurist Peter Ellyard.
Doctor Ellyard said Generation Y, people born between 1977–1994, were looking for 21st century jobs and experiences and were increasingly leaving rural and regional towns "in droves" as part of a worldwide phenomenon.
"Regional centres are not doing very well, globally speaking, they are struggling," Dr Ellyard said.
"Most of the best and brightest and most ambitious young people leave to go to the city to seek opportunities.
"The reason they leave is they try to find 21st century relevant jobs and lives and they perceive, perhaps correctly, perhaps incorrectly, they are not going to get that in the small town or regional community they grew up in."
He said the challenge for small communities was to encourage them to return and settle down when they were in their 30s.

Cancer-causing dye discovered in jean imports
- From: Herald Sun
- March 23, 2014
AUSTRALIAN children are wearing clothing coloured with cancer-causing dyes.
In the past month, clothing chains Rivers Australia and Just Jeans, and bedding retailer Pillow Talk recalled items, including children's jeans, coloured with "azo dyes" known to break down into carcinogenic chemicals.
Despite Australian officials recognising the risks, importers are able to import such clothing. Not all azo dyes are a problem but many are known to create a risk after prolonged direct contact. Europe has banned such imports and the US has restrictions in place, prompting fears Australia could become a dumping ground for hazardous clothing.
The Australian Health Department's National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme wants to ban hazardous azo dyes from sale and recommended the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission restrict imports of hazardous dyed clothing and textiles. But no laws or rules have yet been changed to restrict their import.
ACCC recently tested 199 items in mainstream stores and found four pairs of jeans and a pillowslip affected by the dyes.
Washing did not necessarily reduce the concentration of hazardous chemicals, an ACCC spokesman said.
Pillow Talk owner Heath Goddard said it was the first time in 40 years elevated levels of hazardous dyes had been detected. Mr Goddard was working with the trusted supplier to determine what went wrong.
A Rivers Australia spokesman said about 1400 pairs of jeans were sold before the recall. "While this dye stuff is not banned for textile use in Australia, Rivers Australia does not permit its inclusion in our products," he said.
An investigation has begun to find out how it occurred. A Just Jeans spokeswoman said the company would no longer use the supplier responsible for the recalled Chinese garments.
It wanted to maintain its high standards, she said.
Australian international supply chain management consultant Paula Rogers said Australia's chemical laws were "pathetic" and she was concerned clothing rejected for safety reasons overseas would end up here. The dyes could colour any imported clothing regardless of quality or price.
Australian Cancer Council scientific adviser Professor Bernard Stewart said some azo dyes were identified as strong cancer-causing agent in rats and mice fed and injected with the substance in the 1930s.
He said it was good practice to avoid exposure to those hazardous dyes, and he commended the recalls. "Their action has to be seen as good practice," he said.Originally published as Cancer-causing dye in jean imports

Do garments and textiles imported from the Philippines have these carcinogenic dyes? Why not import more from the Philippines?
Hazel of Brisbane Posted at 10:30 AM March 24, 2014
Why is it that Australia is always so far behind Europe when it comes to banning products and food ingredients that are harmful to our children's and our own health? Whether it is Wi-Fi that is now banned in schools in many European countries, carcinogenic food additives, or carcinogenic substances in our clothing, furniture and buildings, I find it shameful that a supposedly enlightened and technologically advanced country like ours always seems to drag its feet over important health issues that are glaringly obvious to other governments.

Skip to comments.We were duped about Okla. bombing
Posted on 07/21/2002 8:36:02 AM PDT by Jean SEdited on 04/13/2004 2:02:31 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
Shortly after the explosion at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, an "all points bulletin" went out over the Oklahoma City police radio band alerting law enforcement officers to be on the lookout for a "late model, almost new, Chevrolet, full-size pickup, brown in color with tinted windows and a smoke-colored bug deflector on the front."

Is he dead? Only the Shadow knows for sure. I have often wondered this myself.
Witness protection program maybe?
All you tin foilers out there... do you really think McVeigh could be in witness protection and no one would talk. In Washington, if two people are privy to something, one of them is talking.
Yeah right? Who is going to take sure death to avoid a sibbling possibly being prosecuted and possibly being convicted (especially if the prosecution would bring into question his own quilt). I think some of you are willing to go any length to believe that Tim Lives and that the "cigarette smoking man" does in fact run the US government. Repeat after me...The X-Files was only a TV program.
There is also the supposed evidence suggesting that there were bombs planted inside the Murrah building, which actually did most of the damage. McVeigh may not have known about these, which could have been planted by the Islamists.
I do not think you have to be a tin-foil hat wearer to believe this. Oklahoma City has a well known, large population of expatriate Iraqis. They did not announce their involvement in the crime, as other terrorist groups have, because McVeigh was captured so quickly and they knew that they could continue planning other operations, TWA 800 being one probable example. Clinton obviously had a vested interest in covering up the OKC plot; it was the thing that saved his presidency. Of course, then he had to cover up TWA 800 so the OKC plot would not be uncovered.
It does seem fishy to see this in a mainstream paper, just as we are running up to a probable invasion of Iraq; but just because the timing is fishy doesn't mean it isn't true!!
One of the main "masterminds" behind the 9-11 attacks was a Kuwaiti national. Any more suspects being rooted out there?
Hey! Great idea...Let's bomb Iraq. I'm not saying that Saddam doesn't need his ass kicked, but he sure makes one hell of a whipping boy when the going gets rough and we want to deflect any blame or responsibility away from our "allies".
Hey Hillary, we don't buy this crap here......take it back to DU.........
But there must be some reason why the Feds shut up the investigation into the ME connection and the identity of the John Does.
Read the OKC Bombing archives on FR - you might learn something.
The other topic is the loose ends and mysteries surrounding McVeigh, Nichols, "John Doe #2," and the OKC bombing. These questions are still alive and important. They are a major reason why many came to Free Republic in the first place, some years ago.
As with the 1968 MLK assassination, there's just too much in the way of money and travel and other loose ends to assume that there wasn't something else involved than just the one or two men convicted in each case.
Maybe to protect his father and sister. Maybe, because he was a true believer and really hated the USA and it's government, knew that other attacks were in the works and didn't want to do anything to jeapordize them. Who knows? But anyone who believes that McVeigh and Nichols did this on their own is delusional. I believe that Clinton knew this at the time...but he had excellent political instincts and saw how he could use it to turn the public against the GOP...and given the choice between advancing HIS political career or serving the nation which do you suppose Bill Clinton would opt for?
Things that make you go hmmmmmm......
In both instances the ivestigation immediately focused on one(OKC two)people and ALL other evidence that might point to the contrary was ignored. Statements from individuals that did not support the party line were either not taken or not followed up on. In both instances VERY incriminating evidence was found on the suspect, evidence that would have been jettisoned immediately after the crime. In both cases, anyone that comes forward and refutes or even questions the party line is branded a kook, or with the famous "How can you do this to the fanily/suriviors?" My guess is that L. Freeh was involved/knew more than he will ever tell.
An Essay on Hypocrisy
By Timothy McVeighReprinted with permission from Media Bypass. Parthenocarpy is interested in any existing or future rebuttals of this essay.
Please contact us here to contribute.
Media Bypass / Alternative Media, Inc. Editor's note: Timothy McVeigh, sentenced to death for his role in the April 19, 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City, penned the following essay, dated "March 1998," from his cell in the administrative maximum section of the federal prison in Florence, Colo. In a preface, McVeigh wrote "I have chosen Media Bypass as a possible forum for this piece because, frankly, I realize that it is quite provocative -- and I rather doubt that any mainstream media would touch it. [Note that although the enclosed is very provocative, it was written to provoke thought -- and was not written with malevolent intent.]"
McVeigh appologized for the essay being handwritten, but noted his "current (unique) environment does not provide access to a typewriter, a word processor or a copier. (hell, I'm lucky they let me have a pen!), so I hope you understand why this is being submitted handwritten -- and I hope you can overcome this shortcoming."
McVeigh, whose interview with Media Bypass [February 1996] was picked up and dissected by the New York Times and major media outlets across the nation, also expressed concerns that reporting subsequent to this essay might be "printed out of context... but at least the original can be accurate."
A decorated U.S. Army veteran of the Persian Gulf War, McVeigh hereby offers his contribution to the debate over U.S. policy toward Iraq, a policy that McVeigh says is marked by a "deep hypocrisy."
The administration has said that Iraq has no right to stockpile chemical or biological weapons ("weapons of mass destruction") -- mainly because they have used them in the past.
Well, if that's the standard by which these matters are decided, then the U.Sl is the nation that set the precedent. The U.S. has stockpiled these same weapons (and more) for over 40 years. The U.S. claims that this was done for deterent purposes during the "Cold War" with the Soviet Union. Why, then is it invalid for Iraq to claim the same reason (deterence) -- with respect to Iraq's (real) war with, and the continued threat of, its neighbor Iran?
The administration claims that Iraq has used these weapons in the past. We've all seen the pictures that show a Kurdish woman and child frozen in death from the use of chemical weapons. But, have you ever seen these pictures juxtaposed next to pictures from Hiroshima or Nagasaki?
I suggest that one study the histories of World War I, World War II and other "regional conflicts" that the U.S. has been involved in to familiarize themselves with the use of "weapons of mass destruction."
Remember Dresden? How about Hanoi? Tripoli? Baghdad? What about the big ones-- Hiroshima and Nagasaki? (At these two locations, the U.S. killed at least 150,000 non-combatants -- mostly women and children -- in the blink of an eye. Thousands more took hours, days, weeks, or months to die.)
If Saddam is such a demon, and people are calling for war crimes charges and trials against him and his nation, why do we not hear the same cry for blood directed at those responsible for even greater amounts of "mass destruction" -- like those responsible and involved in dropping bombs on the cities mentioned above?
The truth is, the U.S. has set the standard when it comes to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction.
Hypocrisy when it comes to death of children? In Oklahoma City, it was family convenience that explained the presence of a day-care center placed between street level and the law enforcement agencies which occupied the upper floors of the building. Yet when discussion shifts to Iraq, any day-care center in a government building instantly becomes "a shield." Think about that.
(Actually, there is a difference here. The administration has admitted to knowledge of the presence of children in or near Iraqi government buildings, yet they still proceed with their plans to bomb -- saying that they cannot be held responsible if children die. There is no such proof, however, that knowledge of the presence of children existed in relation to the Oklahoma City bombing.)
When considering morality and mens rea [criminal intent] in light of these facts, I ask: Who are the true barbarians?
Yet another example of this nation's blatant hypocrisy is revealed by the polls which suggest that this nation is greatly in favor of bombing Iraq.
In this instance, the people of the nation approve of bombing government employees because they are "guilty by association" -- they are Iraqi government employees. In regard to the bombing in Oklahoma City, however, such logic is condemned.
What motivates these seemingly contradictory positions? Do people think that government workers in Iraq are any less human than those in Oklahoma City? Do they think that Iraqis don't have families who will grieve and mourn the loss of their loved ones? In this context, do people come to believe that the killing of foreigners is somehow different than the killing of Americans?
I recently read of an arrest in New York City where possession of a mere pipe bomb was charged as possession of a "weapon of mass destruction." If a two pound pipe bomb is a "weapon of mass destruction," then what do people think that a 2,000-pound steel-encased bomb is?
I find it ironic, to say the least, that one of the aircraft that could be used to drop such a bomb on Iraq is dubbed "The Spirit of Oklahoma."
When a U.S. plane or cruise missile is used to bring destruction to a foreign people, this nation rewards the bombers with applause and praise. What a convenient way to absolve these killers of any responsibility for the destruction they leave in their wake.
Unfortunately, the morality of killing is not so superficial. The truth is, the use of a truck, a plane, or a missile for the delivery of a weapon of mass destruction does not alter the nature of the act itself.
These are weapons of mass destruction -- and the method of delivery matters little to those on the receiving end of such weapons.
Whether you wish to admit it or not, when you approve, morally, of the bombing of foreign tartgets by the U.S. military, you are approving of acts morally equivilent to the bombing in Oklahoma City. The only difference is that this nation is not going to see any foreign casualties appear on the cover of Newsweek magazine.
It seems ironic and hypocritical that an act viciously condemned in Oklahoma City is now a "justified" response to a problem in a foreign land. Then again, the history of United States policy over the last century, when examined fully, tends to exemplify hypocrisy.
When considering the use of weapons of mass destruction against Iraq as a means to an end, it would be wise to reflect on the words of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. His words are as true in the context of Olmstead as they are when they stand alone:
"Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example."

Put on your tinfoil hat--here goes! What if they told him they would fix him up with a new identity if he kept his mouth shut. That the execution would be a sham?
Instead of telling the truth and uniting Americans on "common ground" against a foreign enemy, he chose to divide the country in order to remain in office for four more years.
What else should we have expected from this puked up hairball?
When it comes to Bill Clinton I'm even more cynical than you are. I doubt that he spent even thirty seconds pondering who actually did it. I think his first last and only thought was "How can I use this to help myself?".
Much as I detest Clinton, I didn't notice Bush exposing this lie or those around TWA 800, Flight 587, etc., etc.
It seems there is a US government policy to either (when possible) pretend terrorist acts are accidents or (when it's obviously terrorism but not quite so obvious who the perpetrators are) create fairy tale like stories that deny the true terrorists credit. It's like Americans can't be trusted to know the truth.
Tell that to Kenneth Timmerman.
|Insight Online World Exclusive
Posted April 19, 2002
By Kenneth R. Timmerman
The retirement of career FBI Special Agent Danny Defenbaugh, accused by defense attorneys and plaintiffs in the Oklahoma City bombing case of withholding key evidence, wasn't the only dramatic development in the continuing controversies surrounding the April 19, 1995, attack that killed 168 people.
Insight has learned that the widow of Philippine-government intelligence agent Edwin Angeles has provided audiotaped testimony to an investigator working for the American victims' families that directly ties Iraqi intelligence agents to Terry Nichols, the man sentenced in 1998 to life in prison for his role in bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Building seven years ago.
Elmina Abdul is the 27-year-old widow of Angeles, one of the cofounders of the Abu Sayyaf group, a Muslim separatist terrorist organization in the Philippines whose members trained in Osama bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan. Her astonishing story, revealed in this exclusive story for the first time, could blow the lid off what a growing number of people believe is a U.S. government cover-up of vital evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing case. It also exposes an alleged plot ginned up by former Philippine president Fidel Ramos to manipulate Abu Sayyaf as a means of enhancing his personal political power.
With the knowledge that she was dying of liver disease, Elmina agreed to meet with Dorian Zumel Sicat, a Manila Times correspondent serving as an investigative liaison in the Philippines and the Pacific Rim for Oklahoma City lawyer Mike Johnston, who represents the victims' families. "I want to tell the truth of what I know of my late husband," she said in a taped audio statement.
Angeles was "what they call a 'deep-penetration agent'" who was working for "some very powerful men in the DND," the Philippine national defense-intelligence agency, Elmina said. Angeles was arrested in 1995 after he had negotiated a deal to turn himself in to the Philippine authorities. By that point, the Abu Sayyaf he had helped create in 1991 with bin Laden protégé Abdurajjak Abu Bakr Janjalani had carried out a series of terrorist attacks. These included a failed assault on a U.S. Information Agency library in Manila in January 1991 that was part of a worldwide terrorist campaign against U.S. interests orchestrated by Iraq during the Persian Gulf War.
"Does the name 'Ramzi Yousef' mean something to you, Mr. Sicat?" Elmina asked. Angeles had extensive meetings with Yousef and two Americans, including one whom he called "Terry" or "The Farmer," she said.
Angeles ultimately was cleared of terrorism charges at trial, when documents proving he was working as a government agent were produced. He was released from prison in 1996 but not before he provided astonishing details during a videotaped interrogation by Philippine police authorities of his activities with Abu Sayyaf, including the secret meetings with Iraqi intelligence agent Yousef, Nichols and the second American identified in the document as John Lepney.
The earliest meetings took place at a Del Monte canning plant in Davao in late 1992 and early 1993 just prior to the first World Trade Center bombing. Later meetings with Nichols, Yousef and the second American whose name has never been revealed until now took place at Angeles' house in late 1994, according to a report on that interrogation which has been obtained by investigators working for attorney Johnston, who has been joined by Judicial Watch in representing families of those murdered in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Angeles also revealed the meetings to Elmina, who became his third wife in 1997, "because he knew that he would soon be killed," she said in her audiotaped statement with Sicat, which was witnessed by a Philippine-government official. "He wanted me to know everything so that if anything happened to him I could tell others." Also present at those meetings was a half-brother of Yousef, who was using the pseudonym Ahmad Hassim, she said.
"They met almost every day for one week. They met in an empty bodega [warehouse]. They talked about bombings. They mentioned bombing government buildings in San Francisco, St. Louis and in Oklahoma. The Americans wanted instructions on how to make and to explode bombs. He [Edwin] told me that Janjalani was very interested in paying them much money to explode the buildings. The money was coming from Yousef and the other Arab."
When asked if Angeles had told her the results of those conversations, Elmina replied: "He told me that the Americans exploded one bomb in Oklahoma in 1995, after he was arrested and after we first met."
Later in the interview, she chided Sicat for not knowing that Yousef was "representing Iraq and Saddam Hussein."
"Did Edwin tell you that?" Sicat asked.
"Not only Edwin, but others that were close to us, before he was killed," Elmina said. "One time, a [Philippine-army] soldier and Edwin were talking secretly. I was there because Edwin demanded [it]. The soldier ordered Edwin never to tell anybody about the Iraqis."
On Jan. 14, 1999, Elmina was waiting for her husband in an open-air market in Isabela, the provincial capital of Basilan province. Suddenly, as he emerged from a nearby mosque, she watched as two of his former associates walked up behind him and, with .45-caliber automatics, pumped six bullets into him. He staggered toward her and died in her arms.
The video interrogation linking Nichols to Yousef, bin Laden and Iraq initially was obtained by Stephen Jones, the defense attorney who represented convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. But at the insistence of federal prosecutors, trial judge Richard P. Matsch refused to admit it into evidence.
The judge also refused to admit into evidence the testimony of Yousef coconspirator Abdul Hakim Murad, who was a federal prisoner at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. Murad was awaiting trial for his part in Project Bojinka, a plot hatched up by Yousef to blow up 11 U.S. 747 jetliners over the Pacific Ocean in 1995 (see "Iraqi Connection to Oklahoma Bombing," April 15). On the day of the Oklahoma City bombing he told his jailers that Yousef had orchestrated the plot.
"Why should Murad be believed?" Johnston asks rhetorically. "For one thing, Murad made his 'confession' voluntarily and spontaneously. Most important, Murad tied Ramzi Yousef to the Oklahoma City bombing long before Terry Nichols was publicly identified as a suspect."
Johnston informed Jones last week he would be serving him with a desk subpoena to obtain this and other materials that were either sealed by the court or not admitted as evidence in the McVeigh trial. Shortly after Johnston got off the phone with him, Jones received threatening calls from federal prosecutors in Denver and Oklahoma City, warning him not to release the materials, Insight is told by a close associate of the lawyer. Jones did not return several calls by press time.
FBI spokesman Bill Carter tells Insight the FBI was unaware of a "foreign terrorist connection" to the Oklahoma City bombing. "There is no evidence of a foreign connection in our files," he says. "The Oklahoma City bombing was investigated thoroughly by the FBI; no evidence was found that would tie it to any foreign terrorist group. If we had found any evidence, it would have been presented."
That statement, like so many others from the government in this murky case, appears to be extraordinarily misleading to the families of victims still not convinced that they or the American public know the full story of what happened seven years ago.
In the Philippines, the real story of the Abu Sayyaf and its ties to Iraq, bin Laden and to former president Ramos who is planning a comeback into Philippine politics is a dangerous topic.
In his videotaped interrogation, Angeles says Yousef first approached him in July 1989 as the "personal envoy" of bin Laden to set up a new base for regional Islamic expansion on the Muslim island of Mindanao. At the time, bin Laden's brother-in-law, Mohammad Jamal Khalifa, was operating commercial front companies in the Philippines for bin Laden. This apparently led to the creation of the Abu Sayyaf.
A former CIA station chief in Manila confirms to Insight that bin Laden came to the Philippines personally in 1992 and was flown down to Mindanao in a government C-130 aircraft by then-president Ramos. "Bin Laden presented himself as a wealthy Saudi who wanted to invest in Muslim areas and donate money to charity," the former CIA officer says.
While Yousef was collecting money from bin Laden, he was taking orders from Iraq and is believed by U.S. intelligence officials to have carried out the June 20, 1994, bombing of a Shiite Muslim shrine in Mashad, Iran, on orders from Iraq. Yousef reportedly carried out that attack with help from his own father and a younger brother, Abdul Muneem, in conjunction with an Iraqi front group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization, also known as the People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran.
Angeles "knew he was going to be killed by his own people once he was released from jail," Sicat tells Insight in a telephone interview from Davao, a city on Mindanao. "The question is, who were his own people? Abu Sayyaf, or the cabal who had Angeles help set them up?"
Angeles' second wife, who had prepared the meals for Nichols and Yousef, was gunned down during a government raid on an Abu Sayyaf safe house in 1996. Elmina died last month just days after giving her taped audio statements to Sicat, who tells Insight that he has received death threats and been shot at in recent weeks by unknown assailants. He recently has been given round-the- clock police protection by the government, which is investigating the attacks.
If the remaining witnesses live long enough, the only question left is whether the Bush administration will order the FBI to reopen its files. Or, as some of the lawyers in the case and their clients fear, the administration will endorse what they believe and testimony now in hand suggests was a wider conspiracy that was hidden by the Clinton administration and Janet Reno's Justice Department. It may require full and open congressional hearings if the current administration refuses to help or otherwise blocks the federal courts from re-examining the case to find out why the U.S. government shut down preliminary investigations into possible overseas links to the murder of Americans in downtown Oklahoma City.
Kenneth R. Timmerman is a senior writer for Insight magazine.
Neither could a retired U.S. Army General, an expert in explosives, who did a detailed study of it. He concluded that the damage done and the condition of the powdered concrete at the base of the building indicated the positioning of specific charges at the base of structural columns in the basement of the building.
You are the one who claimed this was a dupe by the Bush administration to gain votes or sympathy for an attack....I am curious, just what part of this article is BS? You doubt the Middle Eastern association? Do you actually believe this was a right wing attack perpetrated by one or two pathetic skin heads?
I stand by my statement Hillary......and I can assure you, no one in Texas would miss you.........
Have you checked the source. I wouldnt be surprised if it was a commentary and not a new report. Hell, it may even have been a letter to the editor.
No wonder this place seems full of more fruit cakes than five years ago.

RP cops aware of long-term
By Dorian Zumel-Sicat
DAVAO CITY The lawyer of executed Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh has provided victims of the tragedy with a report on an interrogation linking an American trader with rightwing Americans, agents of Iraq, Osama bin Laden and the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG).
However, the most striking thing about the transcript is that it shows Philippine police have long been aware of operational ties between local Islamic radicals and rightwing foreigners.
Why the strange alliance exists remains a puzzle to police and military intelligence agents. A senior counter-terrorist expert says commerce and short-term goals could account for the unusual ties. Eventually, theyll be killing each other. But for now, they seem to be working together.
New case
US Federal agents ignored evidence of these rightwing/Islamic links in the aftermath of the April 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building. In the end, they succeeded in pinning the blame solely on McVeigh and his pal, Terry Nichols, who was married to Filipino women, one of them the daughter of Cebuano cop Eduardo Torres.
The suit filed by the Washington DC-based Judicial Watch on behalf of the victims of the 1995 blast has unearthed evidence earlier disallowed in the McVeigh trial. The victims also allege a federal cover-up of Iraqi involvement though the reason remains unclear.
McVeighs lawyer, Stephen Jones, provided the new plaintiffs with a report on the soft interrogation of slain ASG co-founder and government deep cover agent, Edwin Angeles. The Manila Times obtained a copy of the document.
The report names John Lepney, an import/export trader, as among those who met in 1992 and 1993 with Angeles, Ramsey Yousef, McVeigh accomplice Terry Nichols, and some unnamed Iraqis, in a Muslim ghetto in Tibongco, this city. The meeting took place just months prior to the Oklahoma City bombing.
Series of meetings
The Angeles interrogation transcript dates back to 1996. It shows the ASG officer talking with an official of the Philippine National Police and another from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Also present were two lawyers hired by Jones to witness the interrogation. The Manila Times was requested to withhold identities of the two lawyers and the two officials pending the Washington trial.
The report pictured Angeles as eager to talk, almost garrulous, offering information on mail-order brides and terrorists. It was the police officer who showed Angeles a photo album of alleged mail-order bride facilitators.
The Abu Sayyaf leader leafed through and pointed out one of the men. In the vernacular, he said, This man I know, this is John Lepney. He said the American lived in Davao City and was known to import appliances and electronics. Angeles knew Lepney enough to join him in massage sessions at the Plaza Roman, also in this city.
Other meetings, however, were not so innocent. Among Angeles and Lepneys companions in subsequent gatherings were Nichols and Abdul Basis who would later be known as Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the first World Trade Center bombing.
At a meeting in the vicinity of the Del Monte labeling factory here, they were joined by Wali Khan, a Jordanian pilot who would later be arrested in Malaysia, and Abdul Hakim Murad, Yousefs co-accused in the World Trade Center blast.
Angeles did not state in the interrogation what the meeting was about, but mentioned that Nichols had passed himself as a farmer. He also volunteered having stayed for at least eight months in Tibongco.
An intelligence source here told The Manila Times, It is strange that people like Nichols, and this Lepney would go to that part of Tibongco. At that time it was a stronghold of Muslim separatists. They must have had serious business there for them to take the risk, even if they were accompanied by people like Angeles.
Robert Bickel, senior investigator for the law firm of John Michael Johnston in Oklahoma City, and the representative firm Judicial Watch in Washington, DC, said the reason for the new evidence is that only certain parts of Angeles statements were allowed as evidence during the McVeigh and Nichols trials.
Jones filed objections to the motions to allow the statement but to no avail. That is why were only hearing about Lepney now, Bickel said in a telephone interview.
The Philippine intelligence source told The Times, that cops then were interested in knowing who bankrolled Nichols, a big spender who did not have any clear source of income. It was not clear, however, why no cop had interviewed Lepney if they were really interested in him.
We have to remember that Nichols had no gainful employment after his 1989 hardship discharge from the US Army. He was nothing but a farm worker who could never afford the trips to the Philippines that he made from 1990 to 1994, the source said.
The same source also noted that Marife Nichols went to the United States supposedly to join her husband in 1994, carrying with her $4,000 in cash, and from between $10,000 to $18,000 in gold coins.
Nichols left his estranged wife, Lana Padilla with at least $20,000 in cash and up to $100,000 in gold and silver before he made his last trip to the Philippines in 1994, just months before the Oklahoma City bombing.
Lepney appears to be the guy to find. More interesting, is the fact that the prosecution was adamant in keeping the Angeles statement out of evidence. The reason for it was the absence of a warm body. That still doesnt hold water today, Bickel told The Times.
The Times was able to confirm that Lepney did indeed reside and do business in Davao City during 1990 to 1996. He would come in often. He did enjoy Tanduay and Coke, and he loved kinilaw. When he became drunk he would many times brag about his adventures with Moro rebels, but most of us just ignored him, says a popular bar owner who has asked to remain anonymous.
Lepneys present whereabouts, or where he exactly did business in this city are both unknown at this time.
Come on, you know we can trust our lives and our buildings on the faith that little Timmy McV is telling the truth. Why would he ever want to be remembered as a brilliant mastermind hero to his buddies instead of a pathetic patsy snitch?
Well, let's see...because, regardless of what you or I think of his actions or his reasoning, he had honor and integrity and loyalty to his compatriots. (something he may have learned in the military) Then again he may not have known anything about an Iraqui connection and was duped. There are two good possibilities that don't require stretching the imagination except for those who can't wrap their minds around the concept of true honor which has nothing to do with whose side one is on.

Gagnon's Texas landlord had unwitting role in Bennett case
When Kevin Grosenheider in San Antonio received a call early Monday from his friend, Raymond Gagnon, asking him to dispose of a safe, he decided to help him out.
Grosenheider, who rented a room to Gagnon, had no idea what was inside, only assuming it was something Gagnon didn't want released. The next day, the FBI showed up and interviewed him for many hours.
"Rather than do the smart thing which would've been nothing I did as he had asked," Grosenheider told The Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday. "I was just doing a friend a favor. And for that I have spent easily over 24 hours hand-in-hand with multiple FBI agents. I don't want to do that again."
Gagnon, 40, who was in Vermont being questioned by authorities, faces obstruction of justice charges in the disappearance of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett, the daughter of his ex-wife, Cassandra Gagnon.
According to an affidavit in federal court in Vermont, Raymond Gagnon told police he accessed his former stepdaughter's MySpace page from a computer at his San Antonio home after getting login information from the girl's uncle, Michael Jacques.
Since then, Brooke has turned up dead near Jacques' home, prosecutors have charged Jacques with kidnapping her, and Gagnon has sat in jail awaiting another hearing Monday.
The affidavit says Gagnon, whose lawyer did not a return a call Thursday, acknowledged that he had downloaded child pornography onto a laptop computer and hard drives he kept in his safe.
Grosenheider, who's in his late 50s, is quoted in the affidavit as saying he didn't know what was in the safe "but assumed it was child pornography."
That's not how Grosenheider remembered the conversation Thursday.
"They asked me what was in safe, (I said) 'I don't know. I had never seen the safe open,"' he told The AP. "I assumed it was something he didn't want (discovered)."
When asked about the child pornography reference, Grosenheider said, "That's the FBI."
According to the affidavit, Grosenheider told authorities he threw the safe into an apartment complex Dumpster near his home. Authorities said the safe hasn't been found.
Grosenheider, who lives with his fiancee and her 17-year-old daughter, has not been charged with any crime. He said he's known Gagnon for four years and that Gagnon had been renting the room for about six months.
He said Gagnon was his boss at Avanzar Interior Technologies in San Antonio, which provides seats and other interior parts for vehicles.
"It is a complete shock," Grosenheider said of Gagnon's legal troubles, adding it's as if "there was two different people here." He described Gagnon as considerate, nice and intelligent, although he was a messy tenant, leaving things like clothes around the house. Grosenheider said he'd often pick up Gagnon's stuff and dump it at his door.
Grosenheider said he knew little about Gagnon's past. He said he met Jacques twice, including one time when Jacques showed up at work and the three went to lunch. Later, Gagnon told him that Jacques was his brother-in-law (they married sisters) and had a criminal record.
Jacques is listed in Vermont's sex offender registry. He was convicted of rape and kidnapping in 1993.
"Ray had told me about his prior incarcerations, and I'm like ... What are you doing even talking to this guy?"' Grosenheider said.
Grosenheider said he's helped out many friends through the years for various reasons. "I didn't know there was anything like this that was going to come out of it," he said.MORE IN Central Vermont
