Blogosphere Drafting of Bush Torture Indictment
UPDATE: Version 2.0 posted here.
This is a joint effort to draft the best possible indictment of Bush for torture. While we can and have drafted indictments and articles of impeachment for Bush for many crimes worse than torture, and while a torture conspiracy could include many people beyond Bush, this project is simply Bush and simply torture. Will you help by posting your comments below on how this document can be improved?
Proposed Indictment of George W. Bush
United States of America,
George W. Bush,
18 U.S.C. Section 2340A
18 U.S.C. Section 2441
Introductory Allegations:
At times relevant to this Indictment:
1. The primary law of the United States Federal Government was set forth in the U.S. Constitution ("Constitution"), which provides that the Executive Power of the United States is vested in the President, who is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Services.
2. Defendant GEORGE W. BUSH ("BUSH") was employed as President of the United States from January 20, 2001, to January 20, 2009. BUSH took a constitutionally mandated oath to faithfully execute the Office of President and to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. BUSH is also constitutionally obligated to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
3. As Chief Executive, BUSH exercised authority, direction, and control over the entire Executive Branch, which includes the White House, the Office of the Vice President, the Departments of State, Defense, and others, and the Central Intelligence Agency.
4. As an employee of the Executive Branch, BUSH was governed by Executive Orders 12674 and 12731. These Orders provide that Executive Branch employees hold their positions as a public trust and that the American people have a right to expect that they will fulfill that trust in accordance with certain ethical standards and principles. These include abiding by the Constitution and laws of the United States, as well as not using their offices to further private goals and interests.
5. Pursuant to the Constitution, his oath of office, his status as Executive Branch employee, and his presence in the United States, BUSH is required to obey Amendment VIII of the Constitution which prohibits the infliction of cruel and unusual punishment; as well as treaties which under Article VI of the Constitution are the supreme law of the land, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which prohibits torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; the Third Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, and Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions which prohibits violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture, as well as outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which prohibits torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment which requires that the United States work to prevent all forms of torture; as well as Title 18, United States Code, Section 2340A which prohibits conspiring to torture; and Title 18, United States Code, Section 2441 which prohibits conspiring to torture or inflict cruel or inhuman treatment or murder.
6. As used in Section 2340A, the term "torture" means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control; "severe mental pain or suffering" means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from — (A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering; (B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality; (C) the threat of imminent death; or (D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality.
7. As used in Section 2441, the term "torture" means the act of a person who commits, or conspires or attempts to commit, an act specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control for the purpose of obtaining information or a confession, punishment, intimidation, coercion, or any reason based on discrimination of any kind.
8. As used in Section 2441, the term "cruel or inhuman treatment" means the act of a person who commits, or conspires or attempts to commit, an act intended to inflict severe or serious physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions), including serious physical abuse, upon another within his custody or control.
9. As used in Section 2441, the term "murder" means the act of a person who intentionally kills, or conspires or attempts to kill, or kills whether intentionally or unintentionally in the course of committing any other offense under this subsection, one or more persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including those placed out of combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause.
The Conspiracy to Commit Torture, Cruel or Inhuman Treatment, and Murder
1. On Sept. 17, 2001, BUSH produced an executive order authorizing the CIA to set up unacknowledged detention facilities around the world. For years after this date, prisoners in these facilities were not identified to the International Committee of the Red Cross or provided due process.
2. On January 25, 2002, the White House Legal Counsel Alberto Gonzales produced a Memorandum for the President on the subject of "Decision Re Application of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War to the Conflict With Al Qaeda and the Taliban." In this memorandum, Gonzales stated that he had advised BUSH on January 18th that "the Department of Justice had issued a formal legal opinion concluding that the Geneva Convention III on the Treatment of Prisoners of War (GPW) does not apply to the conflict with al Qaeda," and that "DOJ's opinion concludes that there are reasonable grounds for you to conclude that GPW does not apply with respect to the conflict with the Taliban." Gonzales stated that BUSH drew that conclusion: "I understand that you decided that GPW does not apply and, accordingly, that al Qaeda and Taliban detainees are not prisoners of war under the GPW." Gonzales reported that the Secretary of State, Colin Powell, had requested that the president reconsider his decision. Gonzales advised BUSH that a positive consequence of adhering to his earlier determination was that it "substantially reduces the threat of domestic criminal prosecution under the War Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 2441)." Negative consequences listed by Gonzales included: "The War Crimes Act could not be used against the enemy," and "Concluding that the Geneva Convention does not apply may encourage other countries to look for technical 'loopholes' in future conflicts to conclude that they are not bound by GPW either." Gonzales recommended that BUSH not reconsider his decision.
3. On February 7, 2002, BUSH produced a Memorandum for the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, Chief of Staff to the President, Director of Central Intelligence, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the subject of "Humane Treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban Detainees." In this memorandum, BUSH "determined" that "none of the provisions of Geneva apply to our conflict with al Qaeda in Afghanistan or elsewhere throughout the world," and "[C]ommon article 3 of Geneva does not apply to either al Qaeda or Taliban detainees," and "[T]he Taliban detainees are unlawful combatants and, therefore, do not qualify as prisoners of war under article 4 of Geneva," and "al Qaeda detainees also do not qualify as prisoners of war."
4. On June 29, 2006, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld that the Geneva Convention applies to prisoners held under BUSH's command at Guantanamo Bay.
5. BUSH's subordinates, through the years of his presidency, established an official policy of torture, and cruel and inhuman treatment. The CIA produced secret guidelines authorizing torture. The Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice produced secret opinions authorizing torture.
6. BUSH's subordinates engaged in the widespread use of officially sanctioned torture. Incidents of torture, cruel and inhuman treatment, and murder by torture are extensively documented, including by a February 2007 International Committee of the Red Cross Report on the Treatment of Fourteen 'High Value Detainees' in CIA Custody.
7. Numerous incidents of torture have resulted in murder. On October 24, 2005, the government released to the American Civil Liberties Union military records that included 44 autopsies and death reports as well as a summary of autopsy reports of individuals apprehended in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documents showed that detainees died during or after interrogations by Navy Seals, Military Intelligence and "OGA" (Other Governmental Agency) -- a term used to refer to the CIA. According to the documents, 21 of the 44 deaths were homicides. Eight of the homicides appeared to have resulted from abusive techniques used on detainees, in some instances, by the CIA, Navy Seals and Military Intelligence personnel. On March 16, 2005, the Associated Press reported that "At least 108 people have died in American custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, most of them violently, according to government data provided to The Associated Press. Roughly a quarter of those deaths have been investigated as possible abuse by U.S. personnel."
8. In his January 28, 2003, Address to Congress on the State of the Union, BUSH stated: "All told more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries. And many others have met a different fate. Let's put it this way: they are no longer a problem to the United States." On April 11, 2008, ABC News produced a video interview of BUSH during which he was asked about meetings his top subordinates had held to approve of specific instances of torture. BUSH stated: "And yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved." The National Security Council's Principals Committee, which held the meetings, included Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet, and Attorney General John Ashcroft. In the same interview, BUSH defended the use of the drowning torture on prisoner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, stating: "We had legal opinions that enabled us to do it. And no, I didn't have any problem at all trying to find out what Khalid Sheikh Mohammed knew." On January 11, 2009, Fox News aired a video interview of BUSH in which he admitted personally authorizing the torture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, stating: "One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. … And I'm in the Oval Office and I am told that we have captured Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the professionals believe he has information necessary to secure the country. So I ask what tools are available for us to find information from him and they gave me a list of tools, and I said are these tools deemed to be legal? And so we got legal opinions before any decision was made."
9. On January 15, 2009, Susan Crawford, the convening authority for the Guantanamo military commissions, was quoted in the Washington Post as saying that the United States had tortured prisoner Mohammed al-Qahtani. "We tortured Qahtani," she said. "His treatment met the legal definition of torture."
10. On January 29, 2009, John Yoo, a former official in the Office of Legal Counsel who had drafted secret memos authorizing torture, published an article in the Wall Street Journal with the headline "Obama Made a Rash Decision on Gitmo," in which he wrote: "On the advice of his intelligence advisers, the president could have authorized coercive interrogation methods like those used by Israel and Great Britain in their antiterrorism campaigns. (He could even authorize waterboarding, which he did three times in the years after 9/11.)"
11. On May 10, 2009, former Vice President Richard Cheney appeared on the CBS News television program "Face the Nation." Asked what BUSH had known about torture methods, Cheney replied, "I certainly, yes, have every reason to believe he knew -- he knew a great deal about the program. He basically authorized it. I mean, this was a presidential-level decision. And the decision went to the president. He signed off on it."
12. BUSH never voluntarily made public what he knew about torture, cruel and inhuman treatment, or murder by his subordinates. Instead, for years, he publicly denied that the United States ever used torture. When evidence of torture was made public, including photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq made public in 2004, BUSH did not investigate the problem, remove those responsible from office, or punish them. The military convicted several low-ranking soldiers, but did not pursue responsibility up the chain of command.
13. In furtherance of the above-described conspiracy, the defendant and his coconspirators committed and caused to be committed the following overt acts:
Overt Acts
1. On February 7, 2002, BUSH produced a Memorandum for the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, Chief of Staff to the President, Director of Central Intelligence, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the subject of "Humane Treatment of al Qaeda and Taliban Detainees." In this Memorandum, BUSH denied rights protected by the Geneva Conventions to certain categories of prisoners.
2. On December 30, 2005, BUSH signed a signing statement, "President's Statement on Signing of H.R. 2863," in which he claimed the power to ignore a new prohibition on torture contained in the bill he had just signed into law.
3. BUSH personally authorized the torture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and authorized meetings by his top subordinates at which they approved the torture of other prisoners.
All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2340A and 2441.

Even before our government's torture program, Bush exhibited sadistic tendencies. He also has a long history of liking to tell people about it. When Governor of Texas, he almost bragged that they had the highest rate of executions in the country. When interviewed after seeing a women who was about to be executed, he was asked what she said. He replied that she begged him to spare her life. When he said that he looked at the camera, and grained, and chuckled. George Bush's Achilles Heal may be his small brain, and his big mouth.
We let Bush go on this one we might as well just forget about what went on in Nazi Germany.
I am happy you use Title 18, most people do not know that we have statues on the books that makes what these monsters did a serious felony. When we protest outside of the 9th Circuit Court in Portland, Oregon we use title 18: 2340
Thanks David
Although Bush was "employed" as chief executive, technically I believe any elected official SERVES in whatever capacity, eg president. Bush, then "served" as president, a senator serves, etc. These people aren't "hired and fired", they run for election, and either win or lose.
Unless there is a specific "legal" reason for using the term "employed", I think it should be changed.

David, this is excellent. I have two suggestions. One is to add, at the end of item number on under "Conspiracy to Commit Torture, Cruel or Inhumane Treatment and Murder" the phrase "in violation of US treaty obligations."
The other is to add the case of Mohammed Jawad, the kid arrested in Afghanistan and brought to guantanamo at age 12. Under the Geneva Conventions, kids that age are never to be considered combatants, even if captured in the act of fighting. Jawad, as it turns out, may not have even been fighting, but even if he was, at 12 the law states that he is to be treated as a victim of the conflict if captured, not as a combatant. This and his continued incarceration for 8 years is a war crime. His torture adds to the crime.
The importance of adding this is that I think treating a kid this way is particularly likely to generate sympathy for an indictment.

Agree 100% with Dave L....
busting Bush for this crime and many others, but it doesn't look like part of the 1 particular indictment for torture being drafted here
tell me if i'm wrong
I'm sorry I do not know more about drafting an indictment, but I am happy to see this phrase:
...as well as not using their offices to further private goals and interests.
as I see this as the most heinous of their crimes. Is it just in there "for show" or does it need to be substantiated?
This is great. What's required is political will to implement it, the legal issue is realtively clear. Have you considered a Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) process rather than prosecution? Because we don't have the political will to prosecute, perhaps T&R will allow those ready for "Scrooge conversions" to come forward. Our benefit is rapid access to truth, ending criminality, and the least blood and cost. What do you think? I've written my take here: http://www.examiner.com/x-18425-LA-County-Nonpartisan-Examiner~y2009m8d2...
the allegations in the indictment and a request to the U.S. Attorney to present this and the evidence supporting it to a grand jury pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3332 which can be viewed at http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc_sec_18_00003332----0...
You can also ask the U.S. Attorney to inform the grand jury of the identity of the person making the request, and therefore, I suggest asking for people to join in the request so that the grand jury will see that hundreds or thousands want to hold these criminals accountable for their crimes.
If you want to know the truth about torture and why U.S. government agents can get away with committing these and other horrible crimes, see Why does the U.S. government torture people? at http://dailycensored.com/2009/06/24/why-does-the-u-s-government-torture-...

When Rudy Giuliani was U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, his indictments were famous among prosecutors for being perfectly clear at first hearing, whether at a press conference or at trial.
Such a gem of an indictment is, in effect, an extra opening statement for the prosecution. When the prosecutor delivers the official opening statement, the Jury hears the government's case for the second time. This is a real advantage for the prosecution.
Producing an indictment as easy to follow as one of Giuliani's, however, takes work.
When you're satisfied with the substance of each section of this one, I'd strongly suggest reading it aloud. Edit as necessary until it is easy both to deliver and to understand aurally.
E.g., para. 1 at present:
"The primary law of the United States Federal Government was set forth in the U.S. Constitution ("Constitution"), which provides that the Executive Power of the United States is vested in the President, who is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Services."
The reader is out of breath already. And the listener? with pages and pages yet to go?
Try something on these lines instead:
"The United States Constitution (or, Constitution) sets forth the fundamental law of the United States. The Constitution vests the Executive Power in the President of the United States. The Constitution also provides that the President is Commander in Chief of the Armed Services."
When you've edited a portion so that you can read it aloud readily, then get, e.g., an intelligent 10-year-old to listen and to tell you when anything is unclear. Recast whatever is unclear until it is clear.
What you are doing is a wonderful effort! Yes, it's a long shot. Yet I'd guess that a prosecutor would be more willing to take it on if the indictment is not only sound as to its law and its facts, but is already easy to read aloud, and easy for a jury to understand.
It is the next step.
will there be any change in how the various accountability groups do their petitions now that a special council has been appointed by Holder?
I think we have 37 listed on our website at http://AngryVoters.Org and many are now redundant. Do you think we as a movement would get more signatures over all if we had fewer petitions that listed all the group names but that every group promoted? ADS could create one to go with ImpeachBush.org's IndictBushNow.org and just a few others perhaps. Just an idea. Let us know how we can help.

She has a very good point...I could help with this.
Human beings held in indefinite detention, without charge, and without due process, were tortured and murdered in Bush's custody at his brutal and murderous detention centers, camps, and black sites. He promoted and authorized these illegal and immoral policies and practices resulting in death and false imprisonment in violation of U.S. laws, our Constitution, and International Treaties as well. This Blogosphere Torture Indictment should move forward and every American should be given a chance to sign on. Obama needs to rejoin the International Criminal Court in the Hague and bring Bush to justice overdue Link http://apps.facebook.com/causes/342789?m=edd8a396
I'm not sure as to what I would change, except, perhaps, noting Dave Lindorff's remarks, as well as sarahmckee's.
A minor detail, in Para. 3, you refer to "[T]he Taliban detainees are unlawful combattants and, therefore, . . . ." Is that truly the way it was said, or was it or intended to be "unlawful enemy combattants?"
A couple of thoughts, although I don't espouse necessarily to their inclusion, are the following:
I would just like to note that both al-Libi and Zubaydah (and gawd knows how many others) were tortured long before the so-called "legal memos." (I'm sure you know that, but I think that is such an important point, because of the Adm.'s attempt to say they were following the "legal memos." -- there are many links on these tortures, but here's two: Washington Independent ; Raw Story.
Additionally, from a comment of mine:
The General Assembly stressed that allegations that such forms of ill-treatment have occurred "must be promptly and impartially examined . . . [and with respect to nonimmunity and the duty to prosecute,] those who encourage, order, tolerate or perpetrate acts of torture must be held responsible, brought to justice . . . and severely punished, including the officials in charge of the place of detention[.]"15 This is from Paust. (see the rest here: Paust!
I'm so glad you continue to keep the drum beat going on the issue of torture (it should be on the genocide of the Iraqi people, as well. but we have to take step by step, I guess!).
This makes a well-laid out case for reference: Letter to Attorney General Holder On American Prosecutorial Responsibilities Under the Convention Against Torture
Big thing is to feature Feb 7 02 memo, as you have, but to add the SASC report that also highlights it as "opening the door..."
Common Article 3 seems so key that you might want to describe it in some detail; and make sure to mention it when you discuss Geneva.
Only other thing would be to consider including what Condoleezza Rice said to those pesky Stanford students...about when the president says it's not illegal...... I'm trying to remember....I guess she did not actually say, "The president told me that when he says to do something it is not illegal. Probably not worth including....over to you and folks with more expertise.
The whole project is a good idea.....to have in RESERVE. My own notion, you and others may differ, is to give Holder a little time....Durham too.
Here's what I thought you might cull from, if you wanted to add the SASC stuff:
SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE INQUIRY INTO THE TREATMENT OF DETAINEES IN U.S. CUSTODY (for release Dec. 12, 2008)
(full text of entire report was released (after being sanitized) on April 22, 2009; i. e.,
US Senate Armed Services Committee
Inquiry Into the treatment of Detainees in U.S. Custody, November 20, 2008
Released, April 22, 2009
Executive Summary (the release on Dec. 12 contained only this Executive Summary, but it was quite descriptive and telling. The full text, released in April, is also full of useful detail, but the exec summary carries it, for our purposes: Below are ExecSum exerpts.
[[[THE POINT IS THAT SASC HIGHLIGHTED THE FEB. 7, 2002 PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM, SAYING IT "OPENS THE DOOR TO CONSIDERING AGGRESSIVE TECHNIQUES" (pls see below, pasted in verbatim, with page references):]]]
Presidential Order Opens the Door to Considering Aggressive Techniques (U)
(U) On February 7, 2002, President Bush signed a memorandum stating that the Third Geneva Convention did not apply to the conflict with al Qaeda and concluding that Taliban detainees were not entitled to prisoner of war status or the legal protections afforded by the Third Geneva Convention. The President's order closed off application of Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, to al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. While the President's order stated that, as "a matter of policy, the United States Armed Forces shall continue to treat detainees humanely and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner consistent with the principles of the Geneva Conventions," the decision to replace well established military doctrine, i.e., legal compliance with the Geneva Conventions, with a policy subject to interpretation, impacted the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody. (p. xiii)
Department of Justice Redefines Torture (U)
(U) On August 1, 2002, just a week after JPRA provided the DoD General Counsel's office the list of SERE techniques and the memo on the psychological effects of SERE training, the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) issued two legal opinions. The opinions were issued after consultation with senior Administration attorneys, including then-White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and then-Counsel to the Vice President David Addington. Both memos were signed by then-Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel Jay Bybee. One opinion, commonly known as the first Bybee memo, was addressed to Judge Gonzales and provided OLC's opinion on standards of conduct in interrogation required under the federal torture statute. That memo concluded:
[F]or an act to constitute torture as defined in [the federal torture statute], it must inflict pain that is difficult to endure. Physical pain amounting to torture must be equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death. For purely mental pain or suffering to amount to torture under [the federal torture statute], it must result in significant psychological harm of significant duration, e.g., lasting for months or even years.
(U) In his book The Terror Presidency, Jack Goldsmith, the former Assistant Attorney General of the OLC who succeeded Mr. Bybee in that job, described the memo's conclusions:
Violent acts aren't necessarily torture; if you do torture, you probably have a defense; and even if you don't have a defense, the torture law doesn't apply if you act under the color of presidential authority. (p. xv)
Senate Armed Services Committee Conclusions
Conclusion 1: On February 7, 2002, President George W. Bush made a written determination that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, did not apply to al Qaeda or Taliban detainees. Following the President's determination, techniques such as waterboarding, nudity, and stress positions, used in SERE training to simulate tactics used by enemies that refuse to follow the Geneva Conventions, were authorized for use in interrogations of detainees in U.S. custody.
Conclusion 2: Members of the President's Cabinet and other senior officials participated in meetings inside the White House in 2002 and 2003 where specific interrogation techniques were discussed. National Security Council Principals reviewed the CIA's interrogation program during that period. (p. xxvi)
Thanks in particular for mentioning the 8th Amendment, by which torture has been illegal since the acceptance of the Constitution. Perhaps you should debunk the specious notion that only US citizens have the inherent human rights protected in the Bill of Rights.
What are the chances of getting a group of local prosecutors to file these charges simultaneously in a variety of courts, rather that holding our breath for Holder?

Dave Lindorff and sarahmckee both have very good suggestions and while I can see Ray McGovern's point about giving Holder a chance, I don't think that it's necessarily the best option, or if it's used that this should be left too deep in the wings. Get it ready, make it known and let it be understood that if Holder doesn't come through, we're starting the top of the pyramid...
But I do not think those in charge who are continuing the crimes after Bush is no longer president and complicit in bush/cheney crimes when they{bush and cheney} were in office are going to self incriminate. I hope that is not the case. But I do not think the dems want to do anything but cover up the crimes they actively participated in and did nothing to stop. Chris Dorsey, RVA4Peace

While your indictment is very well written docyument, the only changes I would make is to add Obama,Geithner,Holder,Emannuel for their Duplicity in all of the same War Crimes as Bush,Cheney, et al;


text: VANCOUVER, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Taseko (TSX: TKO; NYSE MKT: TGB) (the "Company") announces that it has recently added to its copper put option position at its 75% owned Gibraltar Mine. Put options were purchased for approximately 40% of Taseko's share of production for the first quarter 2014 with a strike price of US$3.00 per pound, at a cost of less than US$0.14 per pound. Since 2009, Taseko has maintained a strategy of purchasing adequate put options to cover the cash cost of production, or insuring a minimum quarterly revenue stream, without limiting upside copper pricing exposure. The Company has, and will continue to, opportunistically purchase put options during periods of copper pricing strength, which results in lower cost options. The purchase of these new options coincided with the timing of increased copper production from the newly commissioned concentrator. Additionally, Taseko has put options in place for approximate 50% of its 2013 production at a strike price of US$3.00 per pound in the first half of the year and US$2.75 per pound in the second half. Note: Gibraltar is a Joint Venture owned by Taseko Mines Limited (75%) and Cariboo Copper Corp. (25%). All production figures are reported on a 100% basis. Russell Hallbauer President and CEO No regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of the information contained in this news release. CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION This document contains "forward-looking statements" that were based on Taseko's expectations, estimates and projections as of the dates as of which those statements were made. Generally, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "outlook", "anticipate", "project", "target", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "should" and similar expressions.

5 Note Taking Platforms That Could Change Your Life
Work moves impossibly fast these days.
You're a creative professional: You open up your browser to find a quick stat or nugget of information, and all of a sudden the juices of your brain are flowing and you're opening tabs left and right. Before you know it, said tabs become impressively small in your browser -- you have no idea what's what unless you click on them. You've digested a ton of information and have no problem coming up with idea after idea, but because you keep processing new data, some thoughts get lost in the mix.
It's beyond frustrating.
Good news: If you can relate to the above in any way, shape or form, you don't have to accept forgetting ideas from time to time as the norm. In fact, there's no shortage of note-taking tools and platforms you can use to seriously streamline your workflow--and deliver stronger results. Your ideas will always be retrievable, after all.
Here are five of the stronger note-taking apps on the market. Which one is right for you?
1. Evernote.
One of the more popular note-taking platforms, Evernote allows you to organize your thoughts, notes, images, links and more with just a click of the mouse. It's completely customizable, so you can set up Evernote to your exact specifications. It's also syncs your folders and files across all devices, so you never have to worry about your hard drive crashing again. And thanks to a sweet Chrome extension, you're able to search through your Evernote through Google's standard search bar. Pretty cool, eh?
2. Google Keep.
Keep is Google's spin on note-taking services. Like Evernote, you can use Keep to store your notes, lists, photos and audio files. Though it's a minimalistic tool, Keep enables you to stay on top of your thoughts as you go about your day. For example, you can jot notes in the Keep app on your phone when you're on the train. Once you return to your laptop and open your browser, voila, those notes will be waiting for you.
3. Knotable.
A collaboration platform that accelerates decision making, Knotable can be used to keep team members on the same page. Here's how it works: Ideas, tasks, thoughts, what have you, are made as Knotes which are then sorted into Knotepads. If you're a small business owner, you can use Knotable to easily manage your whole operations, creating Knotepads for marketing, finance, development, sales and design, for example. Knotable's also released a cool Chrome extension, Knotes, that allows you to easily take notes in your Chrome browser.
4. Microsoft OneNote.
OneNote is Microsoft's interpretation of note-taking software. And according to Derek Walter over at PCWorld, it's "the best Microsoft program you're probably not using." Compatible with virtually every platform--Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and Chrome--OneNote is a great tool for users who are stuck inside the Microsoft ecosystem all day. A particularly cool feature: You can handwrite words or math equations that will automatically be converted into text. So futuristic, man.
5. FutzMe.
An oldie but a goodie, FutzMe has been around since 2009 and it's included on this list due to its insane simplicity. You can use FutzMe to send yourself notes, reminders, tasks to do, links, pictures and more--right from your browser's address bar. Here's how it works: Once you sign up, you're given a FutzMe username (in this example, let's have that name be "Copernicus"). To send yourself a note, all you have to do is type "futz.me/Copernicus knote.com", for example, and "knote.com" will be sent to your inbox or your SMS, whichever you prefer. Again: insane simplicity.
It's important to remember that everyone works differently. So some folks might transform their workflows with Knotes, for example, and others might find FutzMe to be a game changer.
If you're looking for a better way to take notes, it's in your best interest to try a whole bunch of them to see what sticks. Who knows? Maybe you'll find something even better than what's mentioned above. If so, do tell in the comments below.
Originally published by Amol Sarva and Justin Reynolds at Knote.com -- a blog about productivity, collaboration, and flow.
Knote publishes great ideas for how to be more productive every day. Get on the mailing list for the Best Of. And sign up for Knotable, the app we made that lets you bring people and messages together in one place -- so you have fewer meetings, less email, and you can get back to work.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 21, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas I M Herald-Zeitung ■ Friday, April 21,1995 rnManhunt is on in Oklahoma City bombing OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —Dig- ' ging for signs of lift, searchers found ?nly more bodies in the concrete chaos wrought by the deadliest terrorist bombing in U.S. history. Investigators, scouring the heartland and far beyond, issued warrants for two John Doe suspects. Late Thursday, the confirmed death*' toll rose to 52, and officials said 150 more were still missing in the tangled rubble of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. More than 400 people were injured, many slashed by flying glass or buried helplessly under doors, walls and concrete beams. A tattoo and a crew cut were about all that distinguished sketches of the suspects from countless other medi-um-build white men. They were believed to have rented the truck that carried the half-ton homemade bomb, FBI Agent Weldon Kennedy said. Their identities — and their motive — were unknown, Kennedy said. He speculated they may have wanted "some revenge on the federal government as an entity or one of the agencies housed in that building." The death toll rose to 52 and some 150 more were still missing in the tangled rubble of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. More than 400 people were injured, many slashed by flying glass or buried helplessly under doors, walls and concrete beams. Jon Hansen, assistant fire chief, said 40 bodies were removed from the bombed-out building, and rescue workers searching a lower level came upon another group of corpses. He said res- There was a big pile of rubble, with bodies. I was lying on top of one of the bodies without really knowing it.'— Rick Nelson, surgeon cuers stopped counting at a dozen. As President Clinton promised "swift and certain and severe" justice, Attorney General Janet Reno announced a $2 million reward for information leading to arrests. Aren Almon, mother of a I-year-old girl who died in the explosion, said through sobs that she wanted the killers to know the grief they caused. "If they do catch these criminals," she said in a television interview, "maybe they'll see this and see how much they've hurt me, and hurt my family and hurt other people. They destroyed our lives, and our homes." Rescue teams used dogs, fiber-optic cameras and listening devices as the slow search of the nine-story hulk ground on. They briefly suspended their work so that the shattered columns could be shored up to avert a cave-in. Surgeon Rick Nelson conveyed the grimness of the search scene. "There was a big pile of rubble, with bodies," he said. "I was lying on top of one of the bodies without really knowing it." The dead included at least 12 children. Volunteers told of hearing children screaming and seeing tiny faces covered with blood and plaster. "This is the time to focus on the mission," said Steve Gullett, a Missouri rescue-squad member who found a child's finger in the debris. "It's mission first, emotion second." Worried friends and relatives of the missing gathered at St. Luke United Methodist Church, where the Red Cross posted a victims list. Clutching photographs of the missing, some stayed to eat, talk to counselors or sleep. "It's just not knowing," said 44-year-old Carl Johnson, awaiting word of his mother, who worked in the federal building. "I hope she's alive. But if she's still in the building, there's not much hope left." Investigators said the truck was rented April 17, packed with fuel-and-fer-tilizer explosives and parked outside the office building. The explosion Wednesday morning tore away half the structure and blasted a crater 8 feet deep and 30 feet across. An axle thought to have come from the vehicle was found about two blocks away, according to a police source who spoke on condition of anonymity. Major auto parts are marked with an ID number to thwart thieves. Two years ago, the ID number on a piece of axle enabled investigators to break the World Trade Center bombing case. A federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity said investigators believe the truck was rented in Kansas, and they are checking fertilizer dealers in that state to try to trace the fertilizer used in the bomb. Dave Russell, a Ryder Tmck Rental official, said the FBI contacted his company about a truck rented from Elliott's Body Shop in Junction City, Kan., about 270 miles from Oklahoma City. Russell said he could not comment further. The FBI issued sketches of the two suspects after sending an artist to Junction City to talk to witnesses. The Murrah building, which opened in 1977, housed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with Social Security, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, military recruiting and other offices. Unidentified officials speculated to ABC, NBC and The New York Times that the suspects might be involved in the (hug trade and targeted the DEA office in the building. But a law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that "the bombing is not the style of people in the drug trade." The government has received calls from people saying they were from various Muslim groups and claiming responsibility for the Oklahoma bombing. Some Arab-American organizations expressed fear of a backlash and said it was unfair to implicate Muslims. Clinton cautioned, "We should not stereotype anybody," adding that the bombing was "an attack on the United States, our way of life, everything we believe in." Dallas men detained in bombing DALLAS (AP) — A 24-year-old New York man has secluded himself in a North Dallas apartment after he was questioned by federal agents about the terrorist bombing of an Oklahoma City federal building. The airest, questioning and release of Anis Siddiqy was part of the Texas end of the global manhunt for two suspects in the Wednesday bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Saddiqy, 24, told The Associated Press Thursday night that he and his brother Asad R. Siddiqy, 27, both of New York, were arrested Wednesday for questioning in the bombing. Also detained was their associate, Mohammed Chafi, age unknown, of Dallas, the man said. All but the elder Saddiqy were released early Thursday, he said. "They questioned me for like 16 hours and let me out at 9 o'clock this morning. They took everything in this apartment. After I think they were satisfied, they left me," Siddiqy said. In an interview in an unfurnished North Dallas apartment Thursday, Saddiqy said he and his elder brother came to Dallas on Tuesday to seek documents for an emergency return to their Middle Eastern homeland, believing they could obtain them faster in Dallas than in New York. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the FBI and Dallas police conducted a search of the Dallas apartment Wednesday night. Dallas police spokesman Jim Spencer referred all comment to ATF, which did not immediately return telephone calls Thursday. A copy of a search warrant left in the apartment showed that a black bag, containing clothing, calendar and address book were seized. The seized items were sent for testing at a federal laboratory near Washington after a bomb-sniffing dog indicated the bags may have been exposed to chemicals used in explosives, officials told The Dallas Morning News.

NB Factory Stores 620*0184^ Britain returns American witness LONDON (AP) — British immigration officials stopped a man arriving on a flight from Chicago today and returned him to the United States, where authorities want to question him about the Oklahoma bombing. In Washington, Justice Department spokesman Carl Stem called the man being returned from London "a possible witness who was refused admittance to Britain." Asked if the man is a suspect, Stem replied: "You never know what's down the road." A Home Office spokeswoman idem OII I BOOKS A VAH AHI I WALNUT 6 629-6400 III 35 and Walnut Ave. ■.I I IL! rifled the man as a possible suspect and said he was en route back to the United States this afternoon.

A law enforcement source in New York told AP that one man named by CNN, Asad R.

Euro vs. Great British Pound (2010-07-26)
Weekly Report 26/07 -30/ 07 / 2010
Touching Fibonacci level of 61.8% of the upside rally from 0.7690 to the all-time high of 0.9800, where the royal pair met 38.2% Fibonacci level of the CD leg forced it to correct aggressively during the previous week. Our captured bullish butterfly pattern is still in favor and it could continue pushing the pair to the upside during this week as AROON down shows how the negative pressure decreased. We need a breakout accompanied by daily closing above 0.8380 zones to confirm the proposed positive harmonic scenario.
The trading range for this week is among the key support at 0.8180 and key resistance now at 0.8550.
The general trend over short term basis is to the downside, targeting 0.7780 as far as areas of 0.8965 remain intact.
Support0.83350.82950.82550.82050.8180Resistance0.83800.84000.84700.85000.8550RecommendationBased on the charts and explanations above our opinion is, buying the pair with a breakout above 0.8380 targeting 0.8550 and stop loss below 0.8245 might be appropriate.

Dumb Founded
When Jeremy told me he would go out with me, my heart soared But when he began to lean in, I thought he was going to whisper something to me at first, but the, his nose brushed mine, and he pressed his lips firmly on mine, hand on my waist. I lifted my good hand to the back of his hed, and ran my finger through his tangled hir gentally. He eventually pulled away, and leaned his forehead on mine. He laid down on his back, staring up. I sat there dumb founded. I ran two fingers over my lips.
I touched just to the right of my top lip. People said I had a hidden kiss there. A hidden kiss is that of an angel, never heard, and only seen once by the one with the kiss. I hugged myself. I hadn't only seen the angel once. He had fallen into my life. I laid down next to my sleeping angel. I smiled. His lips parted slightly in his sleep. Cute. I kissed him, smiled, and laid down beside him. I slid and arm over his stomach, and closed my eyes. But before I did, I think I heard two shape shifters change, and go, "Whit woo!" then wolf whistle.

Subbans stick on stick is tripping?
The way I see it is the league wanted a lot of PP at the beginning of the season to maximize scoring and get viewers back. Now that 1/3 of the season is done and the playoffs are around the corner, at least from what I saw tonight, they want to get back playoff like officiating. The penalty on Cole was pretty borderline, the call on Subban was a phantom call, which we all know was a call to make them equal. The Turris call was borderline, but you have to call it since Diaz couldn't clear the puck. In the thrid DD was being sat on after each faceoff, which I thought was pathetic not to call.

Do you mean your web-site being hosted by 1&1, go-daddy or something similar. If so, in the domains put in your url where it says domains. It only pings and gives up-time stats as well as domain info. That is the limitations on this functionality as far as I know.
I use it for our hosted site through network solutions.

Everyone's using the "r" word. Just a month or two ago, online marketers were whispering the word for fear of contagion. Now it's spoken out in the open. We all seem to sense that we're in a recession or that one's stalking us and tapping on our shoulder.
Some sites are experiencing slight sales declines; others are prepping for the recession by trimming marketing budgets and tightening their belts in other areas. Online marketers are being asked to do more with less. It seems it's going to get worse.
It's interesting to watch how different companies respond to tough times. Traditionally during a recession, most will cut their marketing spend and ask the sales staff to squeeze more from what marketing delivers. In the online world, most decrease ad budgets, but the first cuts are aimed at any sort of marketing optimization (like analytics or testing). This bunker-type approach often leads to stagnation. Optimization is the last line item you can afford to cut.
Others will pour more money into traffic acquisition and flashy advertising or gimmicks. This kitchen-sink approach is highly inefficient and risky.
Effective Optimization Is a Scientific Process
I prefer a more scientific approach.
The "r" word doesn't mean failure or certain doom. While we don't control the factors that cause a recession, we can optimize the factors we do have control over and do our best to build and continually improve a recession-proof Web site.
A site that converts better will decrease cost per acquisition and, in turn, will increase ad spend efficiency. A site being continually improved for conversion can withstand the storms of finicky economic times. Optimizing your site should be a scientific process that gives customer insight and is accountable, efficient, and measurable.
In the midst of the dot-com boom, we took on our very first conversion optimization client and helped the company build an internal process to continually optimize its conversion rate. Everyone else was talking about eyeballs and, to their detriment, got spanked by the mother of bursting bubbles. Site after site went into the trash heap, while our client's continued to grow and thrive through the worst of it. During that time, the client enjoyed an aggregated 400 percent increase in conversion. Its advertising spend was potent, each dollar spent on advertising was worth four times more in top-line sales. Its competitors could spend the same and a lot more on advertising and couldn't get similar traction. Some went under.
Building a recession-proof online marketing campaign is common sense, but you must work on it. It's well worth it. It's not about getting the occasional gain from a test or analytics but about having a continual process for doing so.
The Cost of Not Improving Your Conversion Rate
Let's suppose your site draws 100,000 unique visitors per month and you have an average conversion rate of 2.5 percent. If you average sale is $50, then you gross about $125,000 a month. Let's also say that after some optimization work and a couple tests, you increase your overall conversion rate by just 10 percent (a very achievable goal), and your conversion rate is now 2.75 percent. Your monthly gross is now $137,500. The annualized revenue realized by the move of the needle is $150,000. With a minor conversion increase, you've earned a baker's dozen: 13 months of revenue in 12 months' time.
If you continue to optimize better every month throughout the year, that 13th doughnut gets bigger and bigger. Assuming traffic costs remain static, ad spend becomes stronger and your cost of acquisition goes down. Even in the likely scenario that your traffic costs inch up, you're riding the curve instead of falling below it.
If you don't become recession-proof, your competitors will. There are simply no more excuses. A decade ago, putting together the resources for optimization was a challenge. Today, analytics and optimization software are much more easily available and affordable when you look at them in this light. Google even offers them both for free.
Steps to Recession-Proof Online Marketing
Here are three steps you can take to make your online marketing recession proof:
- Turn your analytics into customer insight. It's not enough to get reports. Each click is an action taken by a real person. Learn why your customers do what they do on your site.
- Turn your insight into action. If customers leave your site or landing pages, theorize as to why, then test variations to confirm or refute your insight based on step one.
- Rinse and repeat.
Don't become a victim of a recession; instead use it as an opportunity to take control of the things you can and jack up your conversion rate. The dot-com bust would have been a blip had many focused more on the fundamentals of increasing conversion online.
I don't know about you, but I don't want to live through another bust. So I leave you with the wise words of Blackie Sherrod: "The reason history must repeat itself is because we pay so little attention to it the first time."
What are your plans to recession proof yourself? Let me know.

Betaworks CEO John Borthwick announced that he is taking part in the $1.5 million seed round for Yo, the app that does nothing but send the message Yo to other people (h/t Paul Sawers at The Next Web). Venture capitalists investing money in long shot tech startups is nothing new, but what is surprising is that Borthwick's explanation cuts past what just sounds like a ridiculous app.
Yo is a zero payload, notification layer communication app
"There is no payload in Yo — no pictures, no text, just a deceptively simple on/off state that over time has the potential to become a platform," he writes. "As the notification layer becomes the primary interface of alert-based information on your phone — as the OS's allow navigation and controls in those alerts — there will emerge a new class of applications that mediate this layer for web sites, other apps and connected hardware."
So it's not really Yo that Borthwick is interested in so much as the developers who thought to build a communication app that exists entirely in the notification layer. Smartphones are already deeply integrated into users' daily lives, but the mobile ecosystem is very much in flux. For all the snide coverage that Yo has gotten, when Borthwick says that he already uses Yo to remind co-workers, or let his wife know that he's thinking about her during a busy day, it starts to sound like the right combination of effortlessness and specific utility that creates its own niche.
Borthwick must be interested in the people behind Yo more than the app itself
As for the company itself, Yo could be a textbook example of a business model without a moat: any decent developer could put together the same app without much effort. The app has had something like 2 million downloads, but a lot of that was just novelty value. And if Yo became the gold standard of pinging other people, you still can't really monetize it. Ads are too complex to be squeezed in and no one is going to pay for such a minor service.
The only reasonable assumption is that Borthwick is funding Yo to find out if the people behind it were insightful enough to spot an unmet need in the market or just a couple of developers who made a funny app.

Wrestling is more about pinning your opponent down and locking them down so they are unable to transition to improve position, with the added addition of GnP wrestlers are given the options they need in order try and finish the fight and keep the fights active and the ref's happy so they don't get stood back up, but in its most pure form the goal for a wrestler would just be LnP.
Well I guess wrestling is more dominant in MMA I am sure if you where to work stats you could find evidence to support this claim, in the hypothetical situation where you had Pure Perfect Jitsu vs Pure Perfect Wrestling then I guess the Wrestler would win by simply locking his opponent down making him unable to make the transitions, but here in the real world its down to the fighetr and how well they use there grappling skill sets.
I would argue that given a Gi the tables would turn in favour of Jitsu and more wrestlers would be submitted from the bottom and there would more sweeps, hence I would give the edge to Jitsu wearing a Gi without question.
But then I would also argue that given a Gi the 3rd and less common grappling technique would stand tall if fighters where allowed to wear Gi's been Judo, this claim is backed up heavily when you look over into the world of Sambo which to explain very simply is very similar to MMA except in competitive Sambo the fighters all wear Gi's, and in Sambo Judo is the main power over wrestling and most if not all Top class Sambo fighters are also Black Belts in Judo.
In fact I believe this will be the nest step forward in the development of MMA, all fighters are already training in working with Wrestling and Jitsu as one in order to develop there MMA grappling skills, I believe that camps should start working out what good they can take from Judo without the Gi and start moving forward there on forms of non-Gi Judo, in fact I believe its something already in the development stage in some camps as we are starting to see some fighters use Judo techniques within there MMA grappling skill set, like what Jimmy Hettes did the other week in his outstanding performance over Nam Phan, his combined MMA grappling skill set was one of the best mixes of BJJ, Wresting and Judo I have ever seen, would love to see him go up against someone like Fabar or Mendes whos grappling skill sets are very much leaned over towards the wrestling base.
That fight was crazy Nam Phan was just stuck on the ground and Jimmy was just dominating him. His grappling skills are undoubtedly excellent. I'm thinking about attending a gracie barra school but i'm also considering taking wrestling.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) The Port Angeles City Council is trying to maintain air service to the city.
The council will decide at Tuesday's meeting whether to allocate $10,000 to Kenmore Air. The lodging tax money can be spent to promote tourism.
Seattle-based Kenmore Air says it has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2004 when it began flying between Port Angeles and Boeing Field with free shuttle service to Sea-Tac Airport. Marketing Director Craig O'Neil says the company wants to keep the route because it believes it will be profitable in the long run.
The Peninsula Daily News reports about 24,000 passengers flew the route in 2008 and Kenmore Air needs to carry 28,000 to maintain service.

The strict separation of data and logic is nowhere as celebrated and natural as in HTML & JavaScript. Even the representation of data is very, very natural.

I rather used minimal components because a 20kb swf just had a different impact than a 400kb swf. The "easyness of learning" was in total a smaller problem than the "bad result". The thinking often went like "Why should I study/use Flex if I can write this better by myself". > Yep, that's why I think evolutionary change is better than > revolutionary change right now I agree: We have here a product called flex. If you create a revolutionary new system it shouldn't be called flex anymore, its marketing and documentation-wise a bad idea.

Xavior: So much it hurts
Wow, so much has happened recently. The resistence collected together, Jay and Asha got married, and now this....I sighed, I can't believe I'm killing myself over this, I have to do it sometime.....
"Xavior?" Imira was behind me.
I jumped "Oh, hey Imira, whats up?"
"Your radiating emotions instead of taking them in, you have to keep a lid on your powers"
"I know, I know" I put my hand in my pockets and stared at the ceiling "I'm just...." I sighed "I'll keep them under control"
"Whats up Xavior? You've never done this before, accept when...oh" she smiled
How the hell did she work it out so quickly?!
"Yeah, oh" I sighed, man this is so unnerving.
"Hang in there Xavior, you can do it"
"I'm not sure I have so much belief"
Imira laughed "Just go talk to her, she's in her room."
I smiled "Thanks Imira" I walked into Harmony's room and looked at her bed. She's asleep, how peaceful and delicate she looks, even in sleep she has me under her spell. I sighed happily and pulled the cover over her "Sweet dreams my siren. We have a long day ahead of us"
I lay next to her, and smiled as she curled up beside me I wonder if this is how Jay feels, like his heart is going to burst, so much love building inside you it almost hurts. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of her soft breathing feeling as if nothing could ever stop me.

Stellaluna is a wonderful story about a baby bat, separated from her mother, and brought up by a bird family. She tries to be a bird. Her bird brothers and sister don't understand why Stellaluna can't do the things they can do. When she finds her mother, she discovers her natural talents. She doesn't understand that her bird family can't do the things that she can do. They are different on so many levels but they are the same on others. Acceptance of others, acceptance of different is the important lesson here. I read this book to all of my children and it was one of their favorites that we read over and over again.
I love the unique artwork Pages are easy to turn semi thick board Makes it easier for my little one to flip pages Cute sweet story with quite a few kindergarten sight words too!
I've been fascinated by bats, especially fruit bats, for a while, but until Stellaluna came out, I'm pretty sure not too many children were. Now I know that Stellaluna is a well-circulated book at the library and on one of the library's computers as a game. Bats no longer elicit an automatic scream, at least not the ones that are as charmingly illustrated as Janell Cannon's. In addition to showing bats in a rather flattering light, Stellaluna is about the importance of family and making friends -- timeless and appropriate themes for a children's book. If you haven't read Stellaluna, you should, if only to see the cutest little bats ever.
it should be offered on nook
I purchased this book for my 6 year old granddaughter. Her family situation is like many others, in that, her parents are divorced. Her family is now a blended family, father and brother married a woman with a daughter, and now they have a daughter together. Many changes have occurred. While my granddaughter feels loved and very much a part of her new family, reading about how Stellaluna adjusted to new friends and a redefinition of her new family is comforting.
Its a nice story for bedtime my daughter loves to hear and something I'm sure as she grows up wil be able to connect with on some levels.
This book is a great conversation starter for talking about how people are different, and how they are the same
i absolutely love this book! i was young when my mom bought me this book at my school's book fair and ive loved it since. im 14 right now and i still enjoy reading it. it has to be one of my favorite books, and trust me, ive read A LOT of books! :)
I took this book and cd-rom from the library and read them with my child. He read along with the cd-rom by himself. This is a great and informative story of a lost young bat's search for mom.
I have compiled a list of popular and/or award winning books to read my boys. I will buy this book for their library. It shows that 'people' can be different and yet the same. The illustrations are amazing! I highly recommend this book for a toddler.

Deb's Story
Deb, a Crutchfield Product Data Coordinator, has a blast listening to HD Radio broadcasts on the Dual XHD7714 CD receiver in her car. "Radio took a big jump up when I installed my new receiver with its built-in HD Radio tuner. The sound quality is great, and there's no static."
"Many radio stations broadcasting HD Radio signals offer extra programming — I love the variety of music and news. My Dual's tuner finds HD Radio stations with its scan feature, so I've got lots of great-sounding radio to listen to when I travel."
"Text info is a very nice feature — and there's no static on HD Radio channels. The sound quality and programming choices of HD Radio have made me a happy radio listener again."
Q&A Section
What made this stereo the right choice for you?
The low price and versatility. I can add my iPod®, satellite tuner, and any other portable easily. Plus, the built-in HD Radio is great. I also love the convenience of the built-in Bluetooth®. Driving a stick shift, you never want to hold a phone. Bluetooth just feels safer.
What's the first thing you show people about your car audio system?
The big volume knob.
What was the most difficult part of the installation?
The kit. My car is a "modify" fit, so the kit needed to be ground down a bit.
What plans, if any, do you have for future upgrades?
My next step will be to replace the factory speakers with new aftermarket models.
