"Virginia just offered me," said Forcier. "They said they were more than impressed with my junior highlight tape. I'm their top guy for the 2009 class. They are definitely a top choice."
The offer from the Cavs is the first Forcier has received from an ACC school, but adds to a good mix of national programs. And Forcier was thrilled to receive the offer from Al Groh and his staff.
"I know it's beautiful out there and it's a great school," said Forcier. "Coach Groh said Virginia would love to have me. I know they have great academics, awesome fans and a tremendous football program."
Before the Cavs offer, Forcier had been offered by Oregon, Penn State and Auburn. Early on, Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa and Stanford had all offered him.
Forcier finished the 2007 season leading San Diego in all-purpose yards and was a First Team all-League pick and all-San Diego County selection.
He rushed for 733 yards on 66 attempts and had six touchdowns. He passed for 2,387 yards and 21 touchdowns with only five picks, for a 77% passer rating (164-for-213), which led San Diego County. Scripps Ranch played a scheduled that included state runner-up Corona Centennial, state champion Oceanside, and San Diego Section champions Poway and Cathedral Catholic.
Forcier participated in the U.S. Army Combine in San Antonio.
The youngest Forcier, Tate's older brothers are both playing in the Pac-10, Jason at Stanford and Chris at UCLA.

Another Philly First: 10,000 Square Foot Parking Lot Goes Green
You might accuse us of being obsessed with stormwater, but after last Friday night's downpour and the resulting mess on our roads and waterways, is it any wonder? Amazingly, the Philadelphia Insurance Triathlons were held on Saturday and Sunday and the swim in the Schuylkill went off without a hitch.
We'd venture to say that the river was swimmable only because the buffer provided by the Fairmount Park system kept some of the polluted runoff at bay. The Philadelphia Water Department's ambitious Green City, Clean Waters program seeks to emulate nature's slow it down, soak it in methods — most recently with a parking lot which replaces ten thousand feet of pavement with rain gardens to manage stormwater on site.
There's a ribbon cutting celebration planned for today, so if you're in the Frankford area, go Check it out at the Eadom Street dedication.
Date; Friday, June 29
Time: 12 noon
Location: 5312-50 Eadom Street, Frankford
If you can't make it today — or even if you can — there's another celebration going on next week, this time in the City's Bella Vista neighborhood, where the Mayor, residents, and other dignitaries (yes, everyone IS special in the City of Brotherly Love) will be dedicating the latest addition to Philly's amazing constellation of parks.
Date: Thursday, July 5
Time: 10:30 am

Philly Takes another step towards being the Greenest City in America
From US EPA Region 3 Press Office
EPA Welcomes Philadelphia as its Newest Green Power Community Partner
PHILADELPHIA ( June 20, 2012) – Today, EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin welcomed the City of Philadelphia as a new member of EPA's national Green Power Communities initiative, showing that a major metropolitan area can reduce its carbon pollution, improve public health, and help expand the nation's renewable energy supply. The announcement came during an event at Citizens Bank Park, where Garvin also praised the Philadelphia Phillies and other organizations whose efforts for a cleaner environment are helping Philadelphia achieve its clean energy goals.
"As EPA's largest Green Power Community, Philadelphia is among the elite local governments that have met or exceeded their pledges to our nation's clean energy future by purchasing green, renewable power," said Garvin. "I commend Mayor Michael Nutter for his continuous pursuit of numerous, practical ways to make Philadelphia a model green city."
As EPA Green Power Communities, Philadelphia and 33 other towns and cities across the U.S. collectively buy more than 4.2 billion kilowatt hours of green power annually, an amount that would otherwise produce carbon dioxide emissions from the conventional electricity of more than 367,000 average American homes. Green power is generated from renewable resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and low-impact hydropower – environmentally-preferable resources that produce no net increase of harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2006, Philadelphia joined EPA's Green Power Partnership, a launching pad for becoming a Green Power Community. As part of Philadelphia's Greenworks plan, the city pledges that by 2015, 20 percent of the electricity used in Philadelphia will come from alternative energy sources. The city's municipal operations have already met this goal, using more than 127 million kilowatt-hours of green power, including generating solar electricity onsite at the city-owned Southeast Water Pollution Control facility.
Last week, the Phillies announced its agreement to purchase 100 percent of its electricity usage from local wind and solar generation providers. Other major contributors to the city's green power purchase success include EPA Green Power Partners such as the Eagles organization, the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Philadelphia University, the Academy of Natural Sciences, Yards Brewing Company, along with residents choosing green power. Philadelphia organizations and businesses, including members of the Philadelphia Green Power Community Collaborative are also actively committed to helping Philadelphia maintain its standing as a leading Green Power Community and increase its use of renewable energy.

A Familiar "Pop Of Color" Shows Up Backstage At Versus
As previously mentioned, blue is making a case for makeup color of the season, giving more standard applications of black liner, shadow, and grease a real run for their money. Last we checked, incarnations of the placid hue in shades of navy and aqua at shows like Altuzarra and Michael Kors in New York had made the trip across the pond, turning up at Mary Katrantzou and Clements Ribeiro in London. The color touched down in Milan this weekend at Versus, too, where Pat McGrath added a stroke of cobalt blue genius to the equation. "It's a pop of color," she said, singling out one of many bold shades from Christopher Kane and Donatella Versace's collection of rainbow brights. "We tried a bunch of different colors—greens, yellows," McGrath revealed, although blue—applied with "just a sweep of the brush"—was the clear winner. There—and elsewhere; an etching of midnight pigment appeared along the upper lash lines at Just Cavalli yesterday, and this morning at Fendi (more on that in a bit), Peter Philips played with royal blue via glued-on, fabric strips turned eyeliner. We're gonna go out on a limb here and say it won't be the color's last cameo.

|Apache Web-Serving with Mac OS X: Part 2
|http-conf problems
|2002-12-23 12:11:35
I worked my way through the article about setting up Apache on Mac OS X to run CGI files. The place that involves running the "test.cgi" file had different results on my system. Rather than a 403 error, I got a 404, file not found error. I changed the permissions of that file to 755, and still had the same results. The error message obtained by using the "tail" command on error_log returned this line:

While I recognize that I am not "behind the pack" in the fields of cognitive ability, I feel like I fall short of my own expectations. I've made several attempts at raising the bar but have fallen short due to circumstances in and beyond my control.
The bottom line is: I have a lot on my plate- more than I have been able to handle. Instead of pushing somethings aside for the birds to scrap up I am trying to find a better fork. As a trader, my ability to crunch information as quickly and objectively as possible is paramount. I aim to actively press these skills in every way possible. As an Entrepreneur, I need these same skills and others that I am probably not aware of. I know I'm "only" 25 but I feel like I've been in the eleventh hour of a war against mediocrity for some time. If I fail and fall into that high walled trap I wish to be bludgeoned in the back of the head with a ball-peen hammer so that I can walk around as glazed as most people I meet and not be aware of it.
Today Kathryn showed me Lumosity and, after some research and a lot of taking-her-word-for-it (neuroscience research specialist) I signed up and have a 35 session, 3 month action plan to get back on that really high horse I bought in 2011.
I'm not leaving the development of my future power-house brain up to a website and iPhone App though. At the recommendation of seemingly everyone who thinks they know me I am going to take advantage of the psychiatrists at the VA. Becoming a consistently profitable trader as well as a top performing anything requires that you remove the energy from the inhibiting, de-habilitating, beliefs that society has imposed on its moo'ing crowds. I took me a while, even, to find the strength to admit to myself that this is even a viable avenue given all the stigma attached to psychiatrists. I'm not broken and I am not an emotional mess (some may have viable arguments to the contrary) but I do see room for improvement and I stretch that space as much as possible.
Being as completive as I am, I challenge anyone with an iPhone and seventy some bucks to take up the Lumosity challenge and see what development you can reap in three months.

I am not mentally prepared to "enter the furnace tomorrow." Yet, the world continues to spin (some 1,038 mph) and tomorrow is coming non-the-less. Tomorrow my full work load will fill to over capacity. Kind of like a 2in1 shampoo or a celebrity airbus. Two is not supposed to fit in One and celebrity air busses don't 'land' on mountainsides….
I like to think I'm tougher than most celebrity airbus passengers, but I recognize a recipe for disaster. Another semester of school starts mañana. This brings the heap on my dinner plate to:
1. Trading full time.
2. Work full time.
3. School: Industrial Psychology, full time.
4. Nereus Ventures, time and a half. Double and triple.
B. Goodtrade.co
C. LocalPhotoHI.com – developing this idea

This work load has caused a burning plane/fiery crash already(at least for me). I don't know what part of me will come burning down this year. (hopefully I don't need it)
The Phoenix doesn't emerge from a water fountain, right?
I will be BUSY this next semester. This is not how I envisioned life after the Air Force. When I discuss this work load with peers they all say, "Something has to give.." then the next words out of their mouths invariably are to stop trying to start companies and be "realistic." I swear, the next person who tells me to be realistic is getting kicked in the face, or the crotch. It depends if I had stretched or not that morning.
Being and entrepreneur, even if its a starving one, is the key to happiness for me. Doubly true for trading. Therefore I have only School and Work on the chopping block.
Supposedly, School is helping me to grow and expand my experience. On the GI Bill (Thank You Congress) I am paid roughly the same amount as I am being paid to work full time per month. So work will be the first up on the chopping block. It is the most sensible honestly; I already have income and my time is very precious- I shouldn't be working full time. But Hawaii is expensive and I am so far unable to down size into a 8×10 room again. Though, looking around me now, being in between places, thats exactly what I'm in. Damn.

*Let me start by saying that if this episode wasn't a testament to good writing, acting, directing, and production, then I don't know what is. Now let's get to it.
We open with Hannah on an interview for a freelance writing assignment for some internet company with a person named Jame (oh you know this will be good). Upon Hannah's asking if there's anything Jame would like her to write about specifically Jame gives Hannah two wonderful options: a Craigslist threesome or do some cocaine and write about it. And thus, we have our episode.
After Hannah's awkward job interview we catch up with Jessa, Shoshanna, and Marnie having a garage sale outside Shoshanna's place. Hannah has come to ask important questions of Jessa, "Jessa do you know where I could procure some cocaine today?" Much to Hannah's surprise Marnie suggests that Hannah just ask their junkie downstairs neighbor for cocaine. Hannah doesn't seem too thrilled with the idea because "he looks like he has leprosy" but when left with no other choices, she goes to visit the neighbor and secures herself some coke.
*It's worth mentioning that he's now a recovering addict and tries to stop Hannah from doing drugs
While Hannah is getting herself some drugs so she can write an epic internet article we join Marnie at her hostessing job where who does she run into?? Jonathan Booth (that artist guy from season 1 that she lusted after)! After a few minutes of witty banter Marnie walks out of her job with Booth after he tells her that they'll be having sex later. Ummmmm OK. After creepy moments with Marnie and Booth we go back to Hannah and Elijah who are picking out outfits for their fun cocaine filled adventures. Seriously? Ha. And who have both made the executive decision that even though it's only 4 PM, they can begin their drug filled adventure.
*The banter between Elijah and Hannah while at their apartment and on the coke is HILARIOUS.
While Hannah and Elijah are heading downtown to do God knows what, Marnie and Booth (who I will now refer to as the short creepy artist man) are back at his place and looking at all his disturbing art. I don't even know how to describe this dude's apartment but there are dolls heads, dolls houses filled with murder scenes, and a giant TV contraption thing that he locks Marnie in and I'm pretty sure she comes out brainwashed.
After leaving the confines of short creepy artist man's house we join Hannah and Elijah and some club where it would appear everyone is on something? OK, this is where the episode went from regular awesomeness to perfection. The way the club scene was filmed, the music, the acting, everything was so perfect. You honestly feel like you're with Hannah and Elijah on this drug induced adventure and that is some brilliant TV.
*We join Marnie and short creepy artist man back at his house for an awkward sex scene but I can't write about it because it was creepy and I hate him; so back to Elijah and Hannah…
Hannah and Elijah are seriously having what appears to be the most fun at a club that anyone has ever had when Elijah decides that cocaine makes him want to share things with Hannah…like the fact that he slept with Marnie. Uh Oh…
Hannah immediately texts Marnie to find out where she's at and before heading to confront her stops at a drugstore of some kind with Elijah who walks in yelling "I need supplements!", IDK, maybe this is what people on drugs do? However, while in the drugstore we get a fun surprise; "Laird" Hannah's downstairs junkie neighbor has been following her and Elijah this whole night to make sure she was OK. When asked why he was following her Laird replied "to protect you, like the mom in extremely loud and extremely close" and then starts crying about buying Hannah drugs. Ha. This is so utterly ridiculous and yet amazing. After bonding over drug deals, erratic behavior, and creepy stalking all 3 of them end up heading to short creepy artist man's house to confront Marnie.
The confrontation between Hannah and Marnie was kind of sad and epic. It basically consisted of Hannah telling Marnie all these pent up feelings she's had about her and that she was the bad friend. Hannah just kept yelling over and over at Marnie that she was the bad friend and Marnie runs off crying. The fight between these two was so brilliant because of the writing and the acting in the scene. It was not just a regular fight between friends, you could almost feel the pent up aggression that Hannah had and it was so awkward to watch. I felt like I was in the room with them.
After Marnie runs to short creepy artist man's bathroom, Hannah yells at Elijah that he has to move out and he flat out refuses so Hannah leaves the house of short creepy artist man and heads home with Laird, the ex-junkie. So how does the episode end? With Hannah and Laird making out outside his doorway and Hannah saying "this is just for tonight" and Laird repeating "Oh my God" over and over again.
Overall Feelings:
I miss Jessa! I assume that considering the crappy job they did hiding her pregnancy in episode 2 that it was just easier to have less of her in this season but I do miss her. Aside from that, FREAKING LOVED this episode. The music, the acting, the directing, the way it was filmed, it was all so brilliant and perfect. One would think an episode about a drug filled adventure wouldn't have any depth but there were so many different things happening with Marnie and her character development and Hannah and Elijah. I loved this episode, A LOT. I'm really happy with the addition of Elijah and I'm interested in seeing if Booth is going to stick around, because I hate him. I have grown more and more impressed with every episode this season and really can see the growth in this show. I do love it.
Favorite Quotes:
"Or do a whole bunch of coke and just write about it."- Jame to Hannah
"So the magic happens outside your comfort zone?"- Hannah
"oh yeah totally, all the junkies in my building totally hangout by the mailboxes"- Shoshanna
"Let's see how do I articulate this properly but I need some cocaine and I know that you're a junkie and I don't want you to think that I'm judging…"- Hannah
"I love when young people are passionate about something and they just give up the second they have to struggle."- Booth
*that is so incredibly true and such a wonderful quote*
"I wanna get married wearing a veil and I wanna taste like 15 cakes before I do it."- Hannah
"It is my greatest dream to have sex with myself and also my biggest nightmare."- Hannah
"I do really hate when you wear your nipples out in public like that." -Elijah to Hannah
"He's not a junkie you were misinformed, he's clean and he's basically my guardian angel."- Hannah
"One can go their whole life wearing nothing but shorty shorts and offend almost nobody."- Hannah

NEW YORK – Mario Lemieux, the Penguins' Principal Owner and Chairman of the Board, called into question his desire to remain a part of the National Hockey League in a blistering statement towards the league.
Lemieux blasted the way the NHL responded to Friday's night's melee between the Islanders and Pittsburgh, which included 346 penalty minutes, and left Pens forward Eric Tangradi with concussion-like symptoms.
"If the events relating to Friday night reflect the state of the league, I need to re-think whether I want to be a part of it," Lemieux said. "Hockey is a tough, physical game, and it always should be. But what happened Friday night on Long Island wasn't hockey. It was a travesty. It was painful to watch the game I love turn into a sideshow like that.
"The NHL had a chance to send a clear and strong message that those kinds of actions are unacceptable and embarrassing to the sport. It failed.
"We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and the safety of our players," Lemieux continued. "We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action."
"We are entirely comfortable with how Friday night's events were handled," NHL Deputy Commisioner Bill Daly told TSN's Darren Dreger. "We have no other response to Mr. Lemieux's statement."
Islanders forward Trevor Gillies was suspended nine games for his elbow to the head and repeated punches that felled Tangradi, and Matt Martin was suspended four games for punching Maxime Talbot from behind. The Islanders organization was also fined $100,000 for failing to control its' players.
Pittsburgh's Eric Godard was suspended automatically for 10 games for leaving the bench and engaging in a fight.

Is Android really winning ?
Over the last year Android extended its lead over iOS and Samsung became the world's largest smartphone maker supported by Google's Android. And these trends boosted the confidence of both Samsung and Google executives as reflected in their recent public comments and frontal marketing attacks by Samsung. As Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said,
"This is a huge platform change; this is of the scale of 20 years ago — Microsoft versus Apple," he said. "We're winning that war pretty clearly now."
But who is really winning here? Google or Samsung or Apple ? To answer that question first we have to define what success means for each of these players. Given that Google is not a major smartphone manufacturer, at least not yet, its success is really defined by the search and apps revenues it can generate using Android apps (Google Play) and Mobile Ads. But until now, we haven't seen any strong evidence for the revenue generating capability of Android. As last reported by AppAnnie iOS monthly revenues are four times those of Google Play. On the other hand, Mobile Ad space is wide open for Facebook, Apple and Google. No winner there yet.
For Samsung, all the profits are in hardware sales. Given the weakness of non-Apple players, Nokia, HTC, RIM, Samsung became major Android player. But with the introduction of Windows Mobile OS and phone supported by the largest marketing budgets of Microsoft things could change quickly. If ever Nokia can pull itself and bring back some competition to the low-end smartphone market, it could hurt Samsung more than Apple. On the other hand, Apple enjoys hefty margins compared to Samsung.
The strategic mistake of both Google and Samsung can be summarized as follows. First of all they pitch their at cost devices to the price sensitive customers and then they wonder why they can't generate app and ad revenue from these customers. Of course, the price sensitive customers aren't going to pay for pricey apps or click ads. And this is exactly where Apple wins. And exactly for this reason Google rushed to develop the maps app for iOS, as it can't loose or ignore it's paying customers.
Google's strategy is good for Google's search business but not for the smart phone manufacturers. Soon or later the open source nature of the Android OS is going to drive price based competition in the Android hardware market and that is not good for any of the Android phone manufactures. If I can borrow Eric Schmidt's comparison thoughts here, Samsung and HTC are like Nokia of yesterday.
For Apple, the success is defined by its share of profit pie rather than market share pie. Though Apple is going to have very tough time ahead in 2013 to sustain its lead and margins, it is more likely to survive because of its "rich experience" smartphones supported by iTunes ecosystem. As reported by Guardian blogger here, Apple customers are more likely to pay for apps than Android users are. And for the same reason, apps will be more and so does the number of iOS users. In 2013, because of the increased competition, Apple app and store sales growth will decrease but not slow enough for Android to take over, not at least in year 2013.
So it's difficult to say Android is really winning at this time as the battle just started. Let me know what you think ? Leave your comments below.

This article is coming from Jon Rappoport and it is important to know how it is possible that 225,000 deaths a year is i
gnored by the normal Media! Dr. Starfield has also tried to place the article and at first it was not accepted to place, because people would not be interested to read this article! He interviewed the investigator Dr. Starfield and he wrote down the important outcome of that interview.
I think it is important and that is why I want to share this! Shocking news and it should be a warn to change the way people think about healthcare! I hope that after reading this people will take control of their own health by changing the way of eating! Because I believe that if there is something wrong with the body we need to find out to eat the food we really need! Most diseases are a result of lacking the nutrients the body needs! A car won't drive with the wrong fuel!!! And that is easy to understand, but the same is with our body! We need natural healthy organic food, with all the nutrients and essential oils, essential proteins, vitamins and minerals to keep the body in healthy shape! This is what seemed to be banned in the education and therefore offices of doctors! Read and I hope you will see the whole picture.
The Starfield Revelations
By Jon Rappoport
February 9, 2014
Barack Obama and his allies have done everything they can to bring more people into the US medical system. Changing that system has never occurred to these politicians.
Like much of America, they accept the cliches and slogans about American medicine. "It's the best in the world." "People are being denied treatment." "We must take care of our citizens."
How about this far more accurate slogan: "Let's force more Americans to die in the care of doctors."
The American healthcare system, like clockwork, causes a mind-boggling number of deaths every year.
On July 26, 2000, the US medical community received a titanic shock, when one of its most respected public-health experts, Dr. Barbara Starfield, revealed her findings on healthcare in America. Starfield was associated with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
The Starfield study, "Is US health really the best in the world?", published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, came to the following conclusions:
Every year in the US there are:
12,000 deaths from unnecessary surgeries;
7,000 deaths from medication errors in hospitals;
20,000 deaths from other errors in hospitals;
80,000 deaths from infections acquired in hospitals;
106,000 deaths from FDA-approved correctly prescribed medicines.
The total of medically-caused deaths in the US every year is 225,000. That's 2.25 MILLION deaths per decade.
This makes the medical system the third leading cause of death in the US, behind heart disease and cancer.
The Starfield study is the most disturbing revelation about modern healthcare in America ever published in the mainstream.
On the heels of Starfield's astonishing findings, media reporting was rather perfunctory, and it soon dwindled. No major newspaper or television network mounted an ongoing "Medicalgate" investigation. Neither the US Department of Justice nor federal health agencies undertook prolonged remedial action.
All in all, those parties who could have taken effective steps to correct this situation preferred to ignore it.
On December 6-7, 2009, I interviewed Dr. Starfield by email. Here are excerpts from that interview.
The American public appears to have been hoodwinked into believing that more interventions lead to better health, and most people that I meet are completely unaware that the US does not have the 'best health in the world'.
The findings have been accepted by those who study them. There has been only one detractor, a former medical school dean, who has received a lot of attention for claiming that the US health system is the best there is and we need more of it. He has a vested interest in medical schools and teaching hospitals (they are his constituency).
Even though there will always be adverse events that cannot be anticipated, the fact is that more and more unsafe drugs are being approved for use. Many people attribute that to the fact that the pharmaceutical industry is (for the past ten years or so) required to pay the FDA for reviews [of its new drugs]—which puts the FDA into an untenable position of working for the industry it is regulating. There is a large literature on this.
They are an indictment of the US health care industry: insurance companies, specialty and disease-oriented medical academia, the pharmaceutical and device manufacturing industries, all of which contribute heavily to re-election campaigns of members of Congress. The problem is that we do not have a government that is free of influence of vested interests. Alas, [it] is a general problem of our society—which clearly unbalances democracy.
Yes, it cannot divest itself from vested interests. (Again, [there is] a large literature about this, mostly unrecognized by the people because the industry-supported media give it no attention.)
Are you sure it was a momentary stir? I still get at least one email a day asking for a reprint—ten years later! The problem is that its message is obscured by those that do not want any change in the US health care system.
No systematic efforts; however, there have been a lot of studies. Most of them indicate higher rates [of death] than I calculated.
I had previously done studies on international comparisons and knew that there were serious deficits in the US health care system, most notably in lack of universal coverage and a very poor primary care infrastructure. So I wasn't surprised.
It was rejected by the first journal that I sent it to, on the grounds that 'it would not be interesting to readers'!
I tried to include everything in my estimates. Since the commentary was written, many more dangerous drugs have been added to the marketplace.
This interview with Dr. Starfield reveals that, even when an author has unassailable credentials within the medical-research establishment, the findings can result in no changes made to the system.
Many persons and organizations within the medical system contribute to the annual death totals of patients, and media silence and public ignorance are certainly major factors, but the FDA is the assigned gatekeeper, when it comes to the safety of medical drugs.
The buck stops there. If those drugs the FDA is certifying as safe are killing, like clockwork, 106,000 people a year, the Agency must be held accountable. The American people must understand that.
As for the other 119,000 people killed every year as a result of hospital treatment, this horror has to be laid at the doors of those institutions. Further, to the degree that hospitals are regulated and financed by state and federal governments, the relevant health agencies assume culpability.
It is astounding, as well, that the US Department of Justice has failed to weigh in on Starfield's findings. If 225,000 medically caused deaths per year is not a crime by the Dept. of Justice's standards, then what is?
To my knowledge, not one person in America has been fired from a job or even censured as result of these medically caused deaths.
Dr. Starfield's findings have been available for ten years. She has changed the perception of the medical landscape forever. In a half-sane nation, she would be accorded a degree of recognition that would, by comparison, make the considerable list of her awards pale. And significant and swift action would have been taken to punish the perpetrators of these crimes and reform the system from its foundations.
The pharmaceutical giants stand back and carve up the populace into "promising markets." They seek new disease labels and new profits from more and more toxic drugs. They do whatever they can—legally or illegally—to influence doctors in their prescribing habits. Many studies which show the drugs are dangerous are buried. FDA panels are filled with doctors who have drug-company ties. Legislators are incessantly lobbied and supported with pharma campaign monies.
Nutrition, the cornerstone of good health, is ignored or devalued by most physicians. Meanwhile, the FDA continues to attack nutritional supplements, even though the overall safety record of these nutrients is excellent, whereas, once again, the medical drugs the FDA certifies as safe are killing 106,000 Americans per year.
Physicians are trained to pay exclusive homage to peer-reviewed published drug studies. These doctors unfailingly ignore the fact that, if medical drugs are killing a million Americans per decade, the studies on which those drugs are based must be fraudulent. In other words, the whole literature is suspect, unreliable, and impenetrable.
Stem cell therapy is used in several cures! I think that stem cells are the solution to a lot of health problems that people have these days!
I found out that we can stimulate our own stem cells by the right supplements, vitamines and minerals and of course we need healthy natural food!
From this company I started to use those supplements. I studied the content of the supplements and it contains exactly the stuff I want to take with the only difference it is all together in one supplement. And if something is not alright with my body I have the possibility to find other products to use for a while to heal my body! Stem cells are the cells being used to repair tissues were needed in our body! Stem cells are needed to make differentiated cells like blood cells, skincells, haircells, Immunesystem supporting cells and so on. We need them all the time and when we get older our body is not making them as much as before. So now you have the possibility to stimulate the grow of new stem cells and if you want to earn also money with this system!
Have a look for your self!
This is the product I use: Vita-Stim ™ Stem Cell Nutrition

It is already long ago that I read the book of Louise L. Hay that was the very first time I read that it is possible to create your own future by changing your negative thoughts into positive thoughts. I worked a lot with the book she wrote: "You can heal your Life".
I had a lot of good results with that book and I was changing my life for my health on all the issues I found that had to be changed. I was eating a lot healthier and I was happy and enjoying my life a lot. Until my son got cancer and I was falling back in a few stubborn habits I had.
Anyway I am back and I get back my feelings and Lifestyle I used to have before my son was diagnosed with cancer. I feel the connection again with the world around me and beyond.
I am working again with affirmations and I feel great!
On this blog I will also share my experiences with affirmations in the future.
Live in the moment
The first thing that is very important as you work with affirmations, that you always live in the NOW. Now is the moment you can work on the future. I say this because most of the people and I was doing that as well since my son got cancer, are living in the past or in the near future.
For example: I was living in the past thinking about the question: what did I wrong that my son got cancer? And living in the future: having fear about how my children can survive in a world like this?
Now I found out I need to work on the thing that I have to live in the NOW!
What can I do now to get things better in the future?
Feel the affirmation as if it is already happened
A lot of people don't understand that what they do or what they try even with the affirmations they use, that it doesn't work. It is important to become still and feel the affirmation as if it is already happened. That feeling you need to have when you say or write the affirmation and it will happen. In the meanwhile stay focussed in the moment and make the affirmation not to difficult that you have trouble to believe in it.
For example: If you have a 1000 $ job and you want to have a million job that is a big gab! Or you want to loose weight and you say I want to weigh 60 kilo and your weight is 90 kilo that is also a big gab! So if you start to make those affirmation it is great to set a goal with less difference. I you have reached the goal you rewrite the affirmation to a point nearer to your endpoint!
When you reached your goals your confidence, trust and knowing that it will happen will grow and than you feel more confident to use the affirmations. And positive thinking is great!
My days are going fast and still I accomplish so much more living in the NOW!
Have a great and healthy day!
Posted in: Mind & Health
I made a film with affirmations and placed it on Youtube I want to share this with all of you!
With loosing weight it is important to get enough and during the normal sleeping hours a deep sleep! This helps your body to restore your cells and body!
We all need a good sleep! During the resting hours in the night the body is restoring the damage on the cells and tissues and also digesting the foods you have taken. That is also the reason the advice is not to eat during the two hours before you go to sleep. How less the body needs to digest the more energy is left to restore the body! If people sleep badly you will see that the soonest on the skin of their faces! The second thing we need is enough right nutrients, vitamines and minerals. If the body doen't have enough it will feel always hungry and therefore we eat and eat and in the most time the stuff we don't need like cookies, sugar lots of sugar and lots of chocolate. We become depressed after eating and so we come into a circle of bad behavior we can stop that by using the right nutrients and also to get everynight a good night sleep!
Sleep is the most important. I know that I can eat the best nutrients for my body but that does not work if I don't sleep enough on the right hours!

This article is written in the newsletter "Cancer-Free newsletter" I get from Bill Henderson Author of the books, "Cure Your Cancer" and "Cancer-Free".
This article took my attention because it is so Obvious that "bad"food and stress are mostly the cause of cancer.
Just to let you know I share this article with you all!
If you go to the federal government's official site for peer-reviewed medical studies, which is simply http://pubmed.gov, you'll find that the term "oxidative stress" entered in the search window will bring up 114,294 studies. Why so many? Why is this topic so popular for study these last few years? Well, it's pretty obvious if you read some of the studies. Oxidative stress is involved in virtually all chronic degenerative conditions — heart disease, cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, arthritis, psoriasis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and on and on.
Oxidative stress, like the rusting of an engine, is not a good thing. Bad for the body leading to disease, leading to cellular malfunction and more importantly leading to what we call aging! Aging is a slow progression of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the main characteristic, biochemically, of the aging process. Oxidative stress begins with the very food we eat to give us energy. Just like an internal combustion engine, we give our cars fuel, they burn it, and the waste they produce are free radicals. It's the same when we eat food. Our body produces energy and the burning of the food produces waste products that are toxic and produce free radicals.
The body fights back by producing enzymes that destroy free radicals. When we reach about 20 years of age, our body is at its peak of vitality. Thereafter it starts to decline in the production of protective antioxidant enzymes. By taking Protandim, our body is activated to once again start producing these protective antioxidants. Taking one tablet of Protandim per day reduces oxidative stress to the level of a 20 year old! This happens for everyone even if they're 80 years old and even if you don't feel it. Just like when your cholesterol is being lowered, you can't feel it.

Hello readers of my blog! I want to welcome the new people who have subscribed in to stay informed!
This campaign is very important! They want to make a movie about the thruth what is happening with vaccines, food and other important issues. The last year I was busy investigating a lot of health issues and I encountered a lot of these issues they want to make a movie about. So that is why I got interested to place this on my blog! Because I was also very upset to find out the truth about these issues. I am sure a lot of people don't know about the harm governments and pharmaceutic companies do against humanity. For me it is very important that these issues are exposed to all people of the world! So please help them to make that film and you get one yourself or maybe you like even more! Within 65 hours they hope to reach the goal!
Just some text taken from their website! They won't get the big sponsors because of they want to show the real story!
"There is something horribly wrong with health care today. While we were filming Doctored, we kept running into the signs of it. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD's aren't being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine, Chiropractors are marginalized and sidelined and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled.
Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time.
Someone has to tell this story. Someone has to do it right, give it a chance to really be heard. Someone? That's us, you and me.
If not us, who? If not now, when?"
So buy a DVD so they have the money to go on making the movie!

The next cure to cancer?
If you read the article I saw today placed on a blog Can-do-ability you would think, Yes!!!
But when you read the total text you see that the FDA is working against it. I just want to show this, because I see a lot of people around me not believing that this is happening and that they still believe in the treatments they give to treat cancer. These given treatments let people suffer and the chance to heal totally is very small. After surviving the cancer than there is still the question if people have the possibility to become pregnant and get healthy children or even if they get a normal life back. I know people who survived cancer but they never came back to the life they had before. Less energy, more often ill and yes they are happy to be alive, but sad that they don't have back their lifes the way they used to. You would think that the FDA would be pleased to give permission for those cures with less problems for the cured people. But they don't!
The following text got my attention in the blog Can-do-ability
"Dr Burzynski discovered a missing strain of peptides in blood and urine within cancer patients. The word peptide is a biochemical term, but a peptide is basically a molecule consisting of two or more amino acids. He thought that if he could chemically extract peptides from healthy people's blood and urine and administer them into those with cancer, it could essentially cure them. This is known as Antineoplaston treatment."
This is a very common way to cure a lot of diseases and also a lot cheaper. This way of treatment don't need chemotherapy and is much more natural as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Chemotherapy gives a lot of side effects and a lot of people suffer a lot from this kind of treatments. Radiation is not healthy either, because the more radiation the more the healthy cells suffer as well. Surgery is cutting away the cancer, but also an easy way to spread the cancer in the body!
"Dr Burzynski doesn't claim to be a miracle worker or a saint, but he does promise to treat all his patients with his non invasive treatment and hope for the best. He currently has a 50 – 60% success rate with his breakthrough treatment, which is a lot higher than the success rate for those receiving other common treatments. So why aren't more terminally ill patients offered this alternative treatment? According to Burzynski's supporters, if this does become a common practice, it will take down the whole cancer treatment industry, which will lose billions and billions of dollars in decades of research, funding and technology."
If the body receive chemotherapy and radiation, it becomes much more difficult for the body to heal itself! This because of the damage these treatments cause to the cells in the whole body! Also, if people get morfine as a painkiller, this has also a negative effect on the healing process! Even if people start getting a natural treatment after chemotherapy or radiation, it will be less effective, because of the damage caused by previous treatment. Though there is still a much bigger chance of healing than promised by chemo and radiation.
Please do yourself a favour and read the article on Can-do-ability
and for the people just reading my blog for the first time see my articles about the FDA!

Do-It-Yourself Deportation
By ANTONIO ALARCÓN
Published: February 1, 2012
ONE of my happiest childhood memories is of my parents at my First Communion. But that's because most of my memories from that time are of their being absent. They weren't there for my elementary school graduation, or for parent-teacher conferences.
Chris Silas Neal
From the time I was just a baby in Mexico, I lived with my grandparents while my parents traveled to other Mexican states to find work. I was 6 in 2000 when they left for the United States. And it took five years before they had steady jobs and were able to send for me. We've been together in this country ever since, working to build a life. Now I am 17 and a senior in high school in New York City. But my parents have left again, this time to return to Mexico.
Last week, when asked in a debate what America should do about the 11 million undocumented immigrants living here, Mitt Romney said he favored "self-deportation." He presented the strategy as a kinder alternative to just arresting people. Instead, he said, immigrants will "decide they can do better by going home because they can't find work here."
But really this goes along with a larger movement in states like Arizona and Alabama to pass very tough laws against immigrants in an attempt to make their lives so unbearable that they have no choice but to leave. People have called for denying work, education and even medical treatment to immigrants without documentation; many immigrants have grown afraid of even going to the store or to church.
The United States is supposed to be a great country that welcomes all kinds of people. Does Mr. Romney really think that this should be America's solution for immigration reform?
You could say that my parents have self-deported, and that it was partly a result of their working conditions. It's not that they couldn't find work, but that they couldn't find decent work. My dad collected scrap metal from all over the city, gathering copper and steel from construction sites, garbage dumps and old houses. He earned $90 a day, but there was only enough work for him to do it once or twice a week. My mom worked at a laundromat six days a week, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., for $70 a day.
But the main reason they had to leave was personal. I have a brother, 16, a year younger than me, still living in Mexico. He was too little to cross the border with me when I came to the United States, and as the government has cracked down on immigration in the years since, the crossing has become more expensive and much more dangerous. And there was no hope of his getting a green card, as none of us have one either. So he stayed with my grandparents, but last year my grandmother died and two weeks ago my grandfather also died. My parents were confronted with a dilemma: Leave one child alone in New York City, or leave the other alone in Mexico. They decided they had to go back to Mexico.
Now once again I am missing my parents. I know it was very difficult for them to leave me here, worrying about how I will survive because I'm studying instead of earning money working. I'm living with my uncles, but it is hard for my mother to know that I'm coming home to a table with no dinner on it, where there had been dinner before. And it's hard for me not having my parents to talk to, not being able to ask for advice that as a teenager you need. Now that they are in Mexico, I wonder who will be at my graduation, my volleyball games or my birthday? With whom will I share my joy or my sad moments?
I know a girl named Guadalupe, whose parents have also decided to return to Mexico, because they can't find work here and rent in New York City is very expensive. She is very smart and wants to be the first in her family to attend college, and she wants to study psychology. But even though she has lived here for years and finished high school with a 90 percent average, she, like me, does not have immigration papers, and so does not qualify for financial aid and can't get a scholarship.
People like Guadalupe and me are staying in this country because we have faith that America will live up to its promise as a fair and just country. We hope that there will be comprehensive immigration reform, with a path to citizenship for people who have spent years living and working here. When reform happens, our families may be able to come back, and if not, at least we will be able to visit them without the risk of never being able to return to our lives here. We hope that the Dream Act — which would let undocumented immigrants who came here as children go to college and become citizens and which has stalled in Congress — will pass so that we can get an education and show that even though we are immigrants we can succeed in this country.
If, instead, the political climate gets more and more anti-immigrant, eventually some immigrants will give up hope for America and return to their home countries, like my parents did. But I don't think this is something that our presidential candidates should encourage or be proud of.
Immigrants have made this country great. We are not looking for a free ride, but instead we are willing to work as hard as we can to show that we deserve to be here and to be treated like first-class citizens. Deportation, and "self-deportation," will result only in dividing families and driving them into the shadows. In America, teenagers shouldn't have to go through what I'm going through.
Antonio Alarcón is a high school student and a member of Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group. This essay was translated by Natalia Aristizabal-Betancur from the Spanish.
A version of this op-ed appeared in print on February 2, 2012, on pageA27 of the New York edition with the headline: Do-It- Yourself Deportation.
Angel of Independence, Mexico City
At a distance of 350 meters from Hotel Casa González is the Angel of Independence mexico city.
One of the most representative symbols of México City and the whole country, the Angel of Independence stands majestically in Paseo de la Reforma.
The first stone of this renowned monument was placed on January 2nd 1902 by Porfirio Díaz. The project was directed by the architect Antonio Rivas Mercado, who was also responsible for the Juarez Theatre in the City of Guanajuato.
This monument was inspired by a project that arose during the government of Antonio López de Santa Anna, meant to pay tribute to the heroes of Mexico's Independence; it consisted in a stone zócalo, built in the middle of the Plaza of the Constitution, from which a Corinthian column would rise, crowned by an angel. However, this project didn't come through, and by the end of the 19th Century, the architect Antonio Rivas Mercado retook it getting inspiration from famous columns in the world like the Tarajano in Rome, the one in Vendome Plaza in Paris and the one with Alexander in Saint Petersburg. All these columns were erected to commemorate the triumph of ideals in their respective countries.
It was in this way that this architect designed a circular zócalo upon which a cubic base would stand, supporting on each of its corners four statues, crafted by Enrique Alciati, representing Peace, Law, Justice and War. The remains of some of the most outstanding leaders of the Mexican Independence movement like Miguel Hidalgo, Vicente Guerrero and Ignacio Allende rest inside this base, which also includes the sculptures of said insurgents and a beautiful sculpture of a lion guided by a boy which represents the dominance of truth and intelligence over strength. Upon this base, a 35 meter high Corinthian column made of Chiluca stone, was erected, and placed on top was the famous "Winged Victory" (or Nike) a symbol of triumph among the ancient Greeks.
This monument was inaugurated on September 16th 1910 as a culminating event of the festivities commemorating the 100th anniversary of Mexico's Independence, which were attended by important diplomats, ambassadors, civil servants and the general population to enjoy the fireworks, parades and concerts that took place in Paseo de la Reforma on that occasion.
Years later, in 1957, the monument to Independencce, popularly known as "The Angel" lived its hardest moment when the golden sculpture fell off the column as a consequence of a strong earthquake. Nevertheless, to the delight of the people, the sculpture was replaced a short time after and has stayed where it belongs ever since.
Today, due to its importance, the Angel of Independence is, along with the Zócalo, one of the two places in which Mexican people gather to celebrate or to protest in special occasions like political meetings and manifestations, or victorious performances of the Mexican football team in world championships.
Fist post
We are very exited we just created this blog!!!!

What Can I Do with Muscadine Grapes?
Good Questions
Q: I received a large bag of muscadines as part of my CSA this week and was wondering if there were any brilliant ideas out there for what to do with these, other than making jam. Thanks!
Sent by Anna
Editor: Anna, personally I love eating muscadines and scuppernongs just as they are. Their skins can be tough, but I love their spicy taste. So one vote here for simply eating them as a snack.
But surely there are other ways to use them. Readers, any thoughts?

I'd love the jam because the skins make my lips itch. The sweet wine made from muscadines is fantastic. Use them up in pie!
Orangette has an awesome recipe for pickled grapes. Can also be found on Smitten Kitchen, that's what I would go for!
If you do make them into jam, splash a little elderflower liquer in with it for a small taste of heaven.
Poach them in wine - there's a recipe in bon appetit this month.
My mom used to have wild muscadines on her property and would make jam/jelly every year - wonderful. She'd also send a batch with my uncle who'd make wine with them.
Awhile back I saw a little post about a Drunken Grape Tart. There was no recipe accompanying it, but perhaps you'll have better luck tracking it down, or you could even use it as a jumping off point to get your ideas flowing. I've made a custard tart with cherries stewed in bordeaux wine which was excellent in the past, perhaps you could try some kind of Muscadine dessert? http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/book-journal/book-journal-drunken-grape-tart-010911
I've recently been juicing them.
Muscadine ripple ice cream from the MSU "cheese store".
That is all.
I made this tart last weekend and it was great - I bet it would be interesting with muscadines too: http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/dessert_grapetart.shtml

Dave 'Fit' Finlay has denied that has re-signed with WWE. It was reported yesterday that Finlay had re-signed with the company as a road agent, but in an interview with The Fight Network at WrestleReunion he has denied those reports.
Finlay said, "I've not been rehired. That's all speculation. There's nothing been said... It's just because they've seen my face on TV [Finlay was shown on screen at the WWE HOF] or around, people have jumped to conclusions that I've been rehired, but that's not the truth. "

How do you define a hero? In your opinion, what makes someone great and heroic?
Sometimes we look up to people who have done incredible, noticeable things in life and describe them as heroic, but oversee those who do small Great acts in life. our definition of a hero should change so as to include all those that fit within the description, but to do so, we need to know what defines a hero.

Occupy Wall Street: Protesters vow to keep up fight
Anti-Wall Street protesters vowed to keep up their fight yesterday despite the arrests of hundreds of people Saturday for blocking traffic lanes on the Brooklyn Bridge in an unauthorized protest.
Police issued nearly 800 summonses on Saturday to members of the Occupy Wall Street movement who took part in the march on the Brooklyn-bound lanes, which snarled traffic until the bridge was reopened hours later. Most of the protesters who were arrested were issued summonses and released.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is protesting against home foreclosures, high unemployment and the 2008 bank bailouts.
Occupy protests are being planned for Boston and Philadelphia. In Los Angeles, more than 100 protesters camped out in front of City Hall.
The fire department said it has been to the camp in Zuccotti Park to check for fire safety issues.
Members of the anti-Wall Street group have vowed to stay at the camp through the winter.
"Our concern is cooking, the use of propane tanks and garbage piling up," said Frank Dwyer, a spokesman for the FDNY. "All we're concerned about is that everybody is safe."
During Saturday's protest on the bridge, police used orange mesh nets to surround the marchers in what witnesses described as chaos, with protesters being handcuffed and taken off the bridge.
Protesters:?We were tricked!
While police say they warned protesters not to walk onto the Brooklyn Bridge via the vehicle ramp, some protesters said they were lured onto the ramp by a police escort. Police freely allowed them to walk onto the bridge and then handcuffed them, some said. Videos surfaced over the weekend that show officers walking over the bridge in front of the protesters, but police said they warned the crowds to get off.

iPhone 5 goes on sale: Here's the cheapest way to get one in the UK
Summary: Apple has fired the starting gun on retail sales of the iPhone 5, the sixth version of the iOS-based handset. Find out where it will cost you the least, in our rundown of the plans out there.
The iPhone 5 has now been released, and you're free to go and pick one up — but what's the cheapest way to go about buying one?
For the purposes of this, I've only looked at deals (whether contract or SIM-only PAYG options) that offer at least 1GB of data usage per month. If you're not using at least around that amount, I'd question why you're shelling out for an iPhone in the first place.
If you're happy to stump up some cash up front, well, all of it — £529 in the UK, that's easily the least expensive way to get up and running in the long term. That's for the 16GB version, the lowest-priced version of the iPhone 5 available.
Of course, putting up the cash up front means that you'll need to arrange a SIM card: but if you really want it on Friday, the first day on sale, then your choice of networks is somewhat limited.
READ THIS: Brother and sister duo nabs first iPhone 5 in the world
The absolute cheapest way would be with GiffGaff, which typically does a £10 month PAYG deal with 1GB of data. But the network hasn't confirmed when it will offer the device, or the nano-SIM required. So if you want it today, no dice.
It's a similar story for T-Mobile: the network told me on Thursday that it had not confirmed its PAYG plans for the iPhone 5, or when it would have a nano-SIM available.
In fact, at the time of writing, only Three and O2 could confirm that new or existing customers can walk into a store and pick up the nano-SIM required for the iPhone 5.
READ THIS: Singapore still hungry for iPhone, but buzz lacking
Of those two, the most economical is Three's 'Ultimate Internet SIM 200 1 Month' plan, which provides unlimited data, 200 minutes and 5,000 texts for £12.90 per month. If you want to bump that up to 600 minutes but stay on a one-month rolling contract, it will cost £18.90.
So, £529 for the phone, and £12.90 per month for 12 months (£154.80), which makes a total cost of ownership for one year £683.80 on this Three PAYG plan.
Monthly plans
By comparison, the least expensive 12-month contract with the handset is with Tesco Mobile. This deal will cost £30 per month, and require a £400 outlay on the handset, making the total cost of ownership for a year £760.
If you really don't want to shell out anything at all for the handset and are happy with a monthly commitment, all the major UK networks are offering the device for free on 24-month contracts of around £44 to £46. The exception is T-Mobile, where the cheapest up-front device cost is £19 with a subscription payment of £61 per month.
Taking the lowest of those free handset contract deals (which is Three at £44), one year of ownership will cost £528 — making the total cost of the deal £1,056. The equivalent PAYG Three route would cost a total of £838.60.
For the record, the 'Full Monty' T-Mobile option — where the handset costs 'just' £19 up front — would cost £1,464 across the full term of the contract. That's one of the more-expensive ways of getting a nearly-free iPhone 5 in the UK that we've come across — but there could be more out there. Have you seen any bargains? Let me know in the comments.

Britney Spears donned her best diamond studded bra to take the stage at last night's MTV "Video" Music Awards, but it wasn't enough to hide a subpar performance. Say what you want about Spears. However, in her pre-K Fed days she was at least somewhat of an exciting performer. Not so much last night. Britney's listless "performance" was a bust by all accounts, with rapper 50 Cent summing it all up with a bewildered expression as he looked on at Spears walking through what she must have thought was just a dress rehearsal for talent night at the clinic.
The Britney debacle, though, speaks to more than just Spears' unpreparedness. It goes to the larger question of MTV and the big label heads pushing "performers" instead of actual musicians. Instead of wasting everyone's time, imagine if MTV would have invited a band like the Cold War Kids or Clap Your Hands Say Yeah or the dozens more great live bands that could have injected some energy and musicianship into the show. Good musicians can still pull off a decent show on an off night. But, as Spears proved, if the performance (and lip synching) is off there is nothing to fall back on. Not even some nice panties can save you. I hope the "pros" at the top of the "music industry" has more to offer us than this.

It was more sophisticated than we had imagined: new documents show that the violent crackdown on Occupy last fall – so mystifying at the time – was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves –was coordinated with the big banks themselves.
The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a groundbreaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now some of the only entities in America left breaking major civil liberties news?), filed this request. The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.
The documents, released after long delay in the week between Christmas and New Year, show a nationwide meta-plot unfolding in city after city in an Orwellian world: six American universities are sites where campus police funneled information about students involved with OWS to the FBI, with the administrations' knowledge (p51); banks sat down with FBI officials to pool information about OWS protesters harvested by private security; plans to crush Occupy events, planned for a month down the road, were made by the FBI – and offered to the representatives of the same organizations that the protests would target; and even threats of the assassination of OWS leaders by sniper fire – by whom? Where? – now remain redacted and undisclosed to those American citizens in danger, contrary to standard FBI practice to inform the person concerned when there is a threat against a political leader (p61).
at Zuccotti Park
Interactive brain-food, bitches! Get your knowledge on.
Ask yourself, would a real network do something like this?
Not cool.
The protesters will be allowed to return to Zuccotti Park, where they camped for the past two months, but will have to abide by the park rules — designed to prevent them from setting up a camp again — that included a ban on sleeping bags, tents and the storage of belongings in the space.
Rightfully so.
Collateral Damage: During an overnight raid of the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park, police threw 5,000+ books from the OWS Library in the trash. (via boingboing, Buzzfeed).
Major bummer. We were there Sunday to give them 100 copies of the latest issue, which features a piece on Bill Maher's embrace of OccupyLA and congress's dirty habit of insider trading, and got to chat with the very nice, very dedicated librarians.
Before the raid had been called, Occupy Wall Street organizers had planned a "day of action" on Nov. 17, in which the idea was going to be to physically occupy Wall Street itself. Protesters vowed that if the police raid was intended to thwart that plan, it had been a mistake.
Standing outside Judson, Jeff Stark, 27, a member of the committee responsible for planning the day, said, "Everyone expected it to happen after the 17th. I think it was a huge strategic error to empty the park before then. That's just going to get more people out on the streets. And not being tied to one geographic location, the movement's just going to get stronger."
Excellent reporting from Capital
Here's every punk album cover for the next five years taken last night during the violent arrests at Zucotti Park.

Park looks great! Now people can come back and protest, if they want. You just can't have people living like that in public space.

How To Eat Lunch - Part 1
- Should I eat lunch at my desk?
- Should I eat with others?
- What should I have for lunch?
This guidance describes how to handle your lunch hour.
This may not make sense to a lot of folks, us talking about how to eat lunch. But the fact is, we all do it almost every day at work. If you do take a full hour, that's roughly 10% or maybe even 15% of your day as a manager or professional. That's a huge part of everyone's day. But, for many of us, our approach to it is rooted in how we had lunch at home as kids, or in school. That makes no sense for the busy professional today.
Suppose your boss takes a 45 minute lunch break most days between 1230 and 115. Should you eat then too, or eat at a different time? Should we eat a big meal, or a small one? I'm so busy...should I work through lunch, at my desk?
In a way, lunch at work is like email: we learned how to eat before we became professionals, and we learned how to communicate before we started doing email. And in both cases we probably have some bad habits worth pruning.

A colleague gave me some fresh sage from her garden, so I was searching for a sage-using recipe when I found this one. In all, it was ok, but not something I would make again. The sage flavor was not highlighted, as I had hoped, and the sauce never thickened as mentioned in the recipe (not sure if this was my fault). In the end, it tasted like pork chops with a watery tomato sauce. Not bad, but nothing special.

Introducing Fort Bragg
Although it's less charming than Mendocino, Fort Bragg makes an excellent base for exploring the coast, and serves as a jumping-off point for whale-watching and deep-sea fishing excursions. The fort established here in 1857 was named for Colonel Braxton Bragg, a veteran of the Mexican War. Ostensibly used to 'supervise' the local Pomo, it was abandoned a decade later. A lumber company was established in 1885, and the California Western Railroad (later nicknamed the 'Skunk Train') was built to haul giant redwoods from forest to coast. The last of the mills closed in 2002, and the town relies increasingly on tourism.
