Comedian Kevin Hart "smoked" Louisiana State University's Track and Field star Jada Martin in a hilarious race.
At least that's the version of the story Hart will be telling.
Hart challenged the two-time All-American to a sprint. In a video posted to LSU's Track and Field Facebook account, a man is heard saying "Ready, set" as Hart clearly takes off before the word "go" is uttered.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Martin quickly reacts, sprinting to catch up. But Hart is able to outpace her.
In a subsequent video, Hart taunts Martin with his win, telling her "100 thousand people just saw" him "smoke you from the start." [[371882642, C]]
The "Ride Along" star advises Martin to "work on her starts." Ouch. Hart-less.
The pint-sized funny man is no stranger to running. Hart is known for soliciting fans on social media to join him on spontaneous 5K jogs around cities in the U.S. during his stand-up tours. [[371882842, C]]

Though he is not quite the international icon that his erstwhile acting classmate and occasional co-star Jean-Paul Belmondo is, Jean Rochefort has been a fixture of French cinema for over four decades.
Deciding to pursue acting in his youth, Rochefort studied drama at the Paris Conservatory in the late '40s, at the same time as Belmondo. After military service briefly interrupted his career, Rochefort returned to Paris and began performing in cabaret and plays in the mid-'50s. He moved to films in the late '50s and early '60s, with small parts in several movies, including Une Balle dans le Canon (1958) and the swashbuckler Captain Fracasse (1960).
As the 1960s went on, Rochefort became famous for his work in crowd-pleasing genre movies. Among his prolific output, Rochefort played second banana to Belmondo in the adventure yarn Cartouche (1962), starred in the gangster movie Symphonie Pour un Massacre (1963) and the popular costume romance series Angelique Marquise des Anges (1964), Angelique et le Roi (1965), and Merveilleuse Angelique (1965). Working often with regular Belmondo director Philippe De Broca, Rochefort appeared in the pair's adventure hit Les Tribulations d'un Chinois en Chine (1965) and top-lined De Broca's crime comedy (sans Belmondo), Le Diable par la Queue (1968). Despite appearing in such films as the Brigitte Bardot romance Two Weeks in September (1967) and the murder mystery Le Temps de Mourir (1970), by the early '70s, Rochefort was best known as a comedy star. His comic reputation was sealed internationally by frequent Rochefort director Yves Robert's The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (1972). An espionage farce featuring Rochefort as an enemy spy boss, The Tall Blond Man became a major hit and spawned a sequel (also starring Rochefort), The Return of the Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (1974).
By the time the sequel appeared, however, Rochefort had begun to branch out beyond his signature frothy fare. He played the lead role in the superior spy docudrama Le Complot (1973) and appeared in international art cinema titan Luis Buñuel's black comedy The Phantom of Liberty (1974); Rochefort would get to act for one of the original French New Wave auteurs in Claude Chabrol's thriller Dirty Hands (1975). His work with another critic-turned-director, Bertrand Tavernier, brought Rochefort even more esteem. After playing one of the leads in Tavernier's atmospheric debut The Clockmaker (1974), he earned the Best Supporting Actor César for Tavernier's excellent historical biopic Que la Fête Commence (1975). Balancing his new artistic success with his customary lighter work, Rochefort scored another popular hit as a married man with adultery on his mind in the romantic comedy Pardon Mon Affaire (1976) and the sequel We Will All Meet in Paradise (1977). He won the Best Actor César that same year, though, for his performance as a dying Algerian War naval captain in the metaphysical drama Le Crabe-Tambour (1977). Briefly dipping into American-European co-productions, Rochefort next appeared in the black comedy Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (1978), and American Graffiti (1973) scribes Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz's ensemble comedy French Postcards (1979).
Still at the top of his game in the early '80s, Rochefort starred as an unwitting stooge in the assassination thriller Birgitt Haas Must Be Killed (1981) and played Simone Signoret's paraplegic brother in the astute, well-acted romantic drama Chère Inconnue (1981). His performance in the spy movie L'Indiscretion (1982) earned him the Best Actor prize at the Montreal Film Festival. Though his film output lessened in the mid-'80s, his career was reinvigorated when he began working with director Patrice Leconte in his Tandem (1987). The two scored international successes with The Hairdresser's Husband (1990), starring Rochefort as a man living out a childhood obsession, and the Oscar-nominated oddball period comedy Ridicule (1996). He also earned notice for his humorous appearances in Leconte's Tango (1993) and Les Grands Ducs (1996). Along with his Leconte films, Rochefort stayed busy throughout the 1990s, appearing in such movies as Robert Altman's all-star fashion fiasco Ready to Wear (1994), a TV miniseries of The Count of Monte Cristo (1998), and the biopic Rembrandt (1999). Rochefort was awarded an honorary César for career achievement in 1999.
Despite the career achievement laurels, Rochefort continued to work steadily into the next millennium. Along with lead roles in the Italian adventure comedy Honolulu Baby (2001) and the French swashbuckler Blanche (2002), Rochefort appeared in the internationally lauded satire The Closet (2001) as "closeted" straight man Daniel Auteuil's wary boss. Rochefort's most notable role of the new decade, though, was, as he himself put it, "the hero of a film that will never exist." Cast as the legendary eponymous dreamer in Terry Gilliam's big budget rendition of Miguel Cervantes's classic novel Don Quixote, Rochefort instead became a key player in the tale of the project's downfall documented in Lost In La Mancha (2003). With Gilliam's shoot already mired in difficulties, skilled horseman Rochefort's back injury became the final blow, leaving him physically unable to play the part and provoking the producers to pull the plug on Gilliam's time travel fantasy epic. The ill-fated film's second life via documentary was small consolation for Rochefort. Nevertheless, Rochefort found satisfaction in, and garnered praise for, his starring role in Patrice LeConte's dramatic comedy The Man on the Train (2002). Centering on the odd friendship between Rochefort's loquacious retired teacher and Johnny Hallyday's hardened gangster, The Man on the Train was well received on the festival circuit and earned positive notice when it was released in the U.S. in 2003.

Lincoln is a town in Providence County, Rhode Island full of natural beauty and a variety of attractions. Voted the 63rd "Best Place to Live and Launch" in the country by CNN Money, Lincoln's smaller size and close proximity to major cities makes it a prime location to start a business and a great place to live.
Because of its excellent school system, Lincoln is a desirable place to raise a family. The town has six public schools and over 3,000 students total. Lincoln Senior High School was voted the 4th best high school in the state by U.S. News & World Report, earning them a silver medal.
There are plenty of activities for families to do around town, including spending a day at the Lincoln Woods State Park. Open since 1909, residents and visitors alike can take part the park's many attractions such as swimming in its freshwater beach, fishing, hiking, biking or horseback riding. The park also has separate horse and bike trails and there are Little League fields that can be reserved. Eastern Mountain Sports Kayak School is located in the park and offers lessons and kayak tours.
Lincoln also has more adultcentered entertainment with Twin Rivers Casino, open since 2007. Previously Lincoln Greyhound Park, the facility not only has gaming areas but an event center, restaurants, food courts, bars and a racebook.
Formed in 1871, Lincoln has a rich history which can be seen through its real estate. Several Colonial homes including Stoneenders still exist around town. Many homes for sale are historic buildings from the 19th century—many which have been renovated but still retain their charm. Lincoln has homes in a variety of price ranges from luxury properties to modern Capes. Condominiums, townhouses, single and multifamily homes are styles that can be seen around town for sale.
Lincoln is a lovely northern city in close proximity to Providence and with easy access to Massachusetts, but the town's suburban/rural fabric has been maintained.
The State bike paths continue along in Lincoln on the old Blackstone River Canal. There are several areas which exist for the pure enjoyment of the area's rustic charm, including the Quinville Conservation Area, Holiday Drive Conservation Area, and North Central Conservation Area. On the other end of the recreational spectrum is the Twin River Casino which offers famous names in entertainment, dinning, and nightlife. Lincoln Woods is renowned for its gaming fields, picnicking, and swimming areas, also providing kayak rentals to visitors. Large new homes are in many neighborhoods.
Lincoln is made up of 8 villages: Albion, Allendale, Fairlawn (also in Pawtucket), Lime Rock, Lonsdale (also in Cumberland), Louisquisset (also in North Providence), Manville and Saylesville.

Why are we randomly showing you pictures of European Sprinter vans? Because Mercedes Sprinter Vans are awesome. Bigger and mightier than the standard Sprinter is the Sprinter Minibus line, which offers seating configurations for uses as varied as hospice transport to urban people moving. Our personal favorite is the City 65, seen here in blue and silver. With seating for 13 passengers, it's much classier than your common OMNIBus or E-Series-based van.
Sure, all of those vans are powered by small diesel engines that barely put out more than 110 horsepower. But that's not the point. They're gigantic (as much as 75-feet long), efficient and beautiful. Behold the mighty Sprinter Minibus, yet another in the long list of European models we desire.

| 8.2°C Belfast
A Labour MP has accused Tories of orchestrating abuse during Commons debates against northern female counterparts because of their accents.
Pat Glass, who represents Durham North West, said it was not just older Tories who were guilty of barracking Labour women, and blamed the macho Westminster culture.
In an interview with the Sunday Sun newspaper, she said new South Shields MP Emma Lewell-Buck was also singled out "because of her Sarah Millican-style accent".
Mrs Glass told the Press Association: "The hardest thing I found going into Parliament was the culture.
"If I had gone to an all boys public school I would have fitted in, but I didn't.
"What I found is if a woman gets to speak, particularly women with an accent, then there is orchestrated barracking.
"You don't get to see it on television because the camera is fixed on the person who is speaking and not on the orchestrated response.
"I get the impression they think women who are northerners should not be there."
In one debate Mrs Glass broke off from speaking to highlight the problem, and the Deputy Speaker Dawn Primarolo intervened.
She feared the atmosphere was putting off women from playing an active role in politics - but that nothing will change until more women become MPs.

Birmingham 2 Blackburn 1
Cameron Jerome helped Birmingham rewrite their record books as his two goals against Blackburn lifted Alex McLeish's side into the top six of the Barclays Premier League.
Blues registered a fifth successive Premier League win for the first time and it is 36 years since they achieved the feat in the top flight during the days of Trevor Francis and Bob Latchford.
Jerome struck after 12 minutes and three minutes into the second half – his 50th career league goal – and Rovers could only manage a solitary reply from skipper Ryan Nelsen.
City are now unbeaten in eight matches from which they have collected 20 points and are making a mockery of the pre-season predictions that they would make an instant return to the Coca-Cola Championship.
They controlled this match for long periods with Jerome finally getting some tangible reward for his hard-working performances after previously only netting once this season.
Barry Ferguson also impressed in central midfield against his former club and James McFadden on the left flank while Roger Johnson was again a solid defensive rock.
Rovers had the consolation of scoring their first goal for 445 minutes but until the closing stages they were second best and have now conceded 23 goals on their travels.
Recalled Blackburn striker Nikola Kalinic had the first attempt on goal but his 20-yard volley flew high over Joe Hart's crossbar.
Rovers fans taunted Ferguson who suffered a serious knee injury during his 18-month spell at Ewood Park before he returned to Rangers.
There were too many misplaced passes from both sides in the early stages but after 12 minutes Birmingham went ahead through Jerome's second goal of the campaign.
McFadden played a short corner to Sebastian Larsson who sent over a dangerous-looking cross.
Christian Benitez headed goalwards and the ball also struck Liam Ridgewell before Jerome poked it over the line from close range.
This goal gave the home side a visible lift and Lee Bowyer only just failed to get on the end of a through ball from Benitez after some neat passing.
Benitez had the ball in the net after 22 minutes, turning home a centre from Larsson, but the Ecuador international had strayed marginally offside.
Rovers were forced into a substitution a minute later with Keith Andrews replacing the injured Brett Emerton.
Larsson blocked a powerful drive from Steven Nzonzi but City were generally in the ascendancy and Jerome got on the end of a near-post cross from McFadden and flashed a header over the bar.
Benitez's pace was troubling the Blackburn defence and one sharp run ended with a shot being deflected for a corner.
Kalinic had an opportunity to equalise three minutes before the interval after City failed to clear a hopeful punt in their box but he mis-kicked at close range.
Nzonzi was yellow-carded in first-half injury time for a challenge on Liam Ridgewell.
Birmingham made a positive start to the second half and after 48 minutes Jerome doubled their lead with his second goal of the game.
Larsson's overhead pass was seized on by the over-lapping Carr who cut into the Rovers penalty area before squaring the ball to Jerome who clinically drove his low shot past Paul Robinson.
He could not conceal his delight at scoring the 50th league goal of his career and was booked by referee Michael Jones for his celebrations.
Rovers boss Sam Allardyce responded by replacing El-Hadji Diouf with Junior Hoilett after 53 minutes.
Blackburn captain Nelsen was booked for body-checking Jerome near the touchline.
But after 69 minutes Nelsen gave his side a lifeline with his second league goal of the campaign.
Pascal Chimbonda got on the end of Morten Gamst Pedersen's inswinging free-kick and forced a good save out of Hart but Nelsen was on hand to score.
Benitez should have wrapped up the points with two minutes remaining but hit the bar from close range after Robinson had parried a Jerome shot.

While there are some similarities between a car dealership and a boat dealership, you may be surprised at how much they don't have in common.
Sure, they both have showrooms, shiny new vehicles and salespeople. But with few exceptions, a car purchase comes down to function and price. And even if you wind up getting your automobile serviced at the dealership, it tends to be a fairly anonymous event. Buying a boat, however, could easily be characterized as starting a relationship. And because of that, it's worth putting a little time into finding the "right one."
Here are some pointers for narrowing down your choices and settling down with a boat dealer who will be by your side for the long haul.
• Do you feel comfortable? If you're feeling pressured or stressed or tense in the showroom or at the boat show booth, you may want to keep looking. Anxious excitement is part of the boat-buying experience and should be enjoyed. Those other things, well, who needs them?
• Do their customers rave about them? Good dealers would love for you to meet and talk to their customers. Nobody does a better job of selling a dealership than satisfied customers. Remember, this is a relationship that will last for years. Longtime customers are a sure sign that the dealership appreciates their patronage and support.
• Do they have a busy service department? This one may seem a little counter-intuitive because you want to be first in line. But think about it. Who has more experience solving common issues? Who has a well-staffed, well-trained crew? Who can offer great rates because they are doing volume business? More than likely it's the busy service bay.
• Do they host events on the water or showroom? Many times a dealer will gather customers of a certain brand for an afternoon of socializing with other owners. Sometimes there's a parking lot cookout with face-painting for the kids. Other times, they turn their showroom into a movie theater in the middle of winter. There is just something wonderful about mingling with others that share your love for the water.
The point is that your boat-owning experience can be and should be just as exciting, fun and rewarding as your boat-buying experience. Good boat dealers get that. More importantly, good boat dealers go out of their way to make sure that you get that!

8. The DEA Report
Israeli "art students" operating a spy-ring in Florida and around the country are documented in this DEA/FBI report. The spy ring maintained residences close enough to the purported 9/11 hijackers so that official sounding stories now parrot the official line that these Mossad operatives were watching the 9/11 hijackers with the cooperation of the US government. This German Intelligence Report goes much farther, stating that in fact they were the operators of the "al Qaeda" cell in America:
"The role of the Israeli Mossad in the terrorist attacks
Note: The following two sections are considered to be extremely sensitive due to the special relationship between the Federal Republic [of Germany] and its Jewish citizens as well as the State of Israel. This material is compiled from German and American sources.
During the term of President George HW Bush, the government of Israel made an official, but very secret, request to the American president. This request was to permit agents of the Mossad, Israeli Foreign Intelligence, to enter the United States and conduct surveillance operations against various Arab groups residing in that country.
The stated purpose of this surveillance was to permit Israeli early warning of terrorist plots against their country. Permission for this surveillance was granted with the caveat that the Mossad would have a liaison with the FBI and report any and all finding to that agency.
However, these conditions were not observed. The Mossad not only did not inform the FBI of any of its findings, it is known to have engaged in commerce with several groups of Israeli criminals of Russian backgrounds. These groups were engaged in extensive criminal activities inside the United States, to include the smuggling of the Ecstasy drug. Mossad agents were able to subvert American criminal investigations through their knowledge of American telephone surveillance of such groups.
It is very evident from surveillance conducted against Mossad agents in the Federal Republic as well as interceptions of Israeli diplomatic communication from the Federal Republic to Tel Aviv, that the Mossad has successfully penetrated various extremist Arab groups in both the Federal Republic and the United States.
These investigations disclosed in late May of 2001 that an attack was to be made against certain specified targets in the American cities of Washington and New York. But it was apparent that the Mossad was not only fully aware of these attacks well in advance but actually, though their own agents inside these Arab groups, assisted in the planning and the eventual execution of the attacks.
That the Israeli government was fully aware of these attack is absolutely certain and proven. Diplomatic traffic between the Israeli Embassy in the Federal Republic and the Israeli Foreign Office made it very clear that Minister President Sharon was fully aware of this pending attack and urgently wished that no attempt was made to prevent the attacks.
Although the Israeli officials were instructed to warn the American intelligence community that some kind of an attack might be possible, at no time were the specific dates and targets (known at that time to Israeli officials) to be given to the Americans.

LaRouche Warns:
Cheney´s `Guns of August´
Threaten the World
July 27, 2005 (EIRNS)—This statement was issued today by the LaRouche Political Action Committee.
Lyndon LaRouche, on this Wednesday afternoon, issued an international alert, covering the period of August 2005, which is the likely timeframe for Vice President Dick Cheney, with the full collusion of the circles of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, to unleash the recently exposed plans to stage a preemptive tactical nuclear strike against Iran. The danger of such a mad, Hitler-in-the-bunker action from the Cheney circles would be even further heightened, were the United States Congress to stick with its present schedule, and go into recess on July 30 until September 4. With Congress out of Washington, the Cheney-led White House would almost certainly unleash a "Guns of August" attack on Iran.
LaRouche based this assessment on a series of factors, reported to him over the recent days, beginning with the qualified report, from a former U.S. intelligence official, published in the American Conservative magazine, that Dick Cheney ordered the Strategic Command (STRATCOM) to prepare contingency plans for a conventional and tactical nuclear strike against hundreds of targets in Iran, in the event of a "new 9/11-style attack" on the United States. As EIR reported several months ago, the Bush Administration, under CONPLAN 8022, had already placed the relevant "mini-nukes" under the control of theater military commanders, as part of a new Global Strike doctrine, a doctrine originally conceived when Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush in the early 1990s.
The recent bombings in London have provided Tony Blair with his own "Reichstag fire" incident, and the full resources of the British "liberal imperial" faction can now be expected to weigh in behind the brutish Cheney circles in Washington.
The most compelling evidence of this "Guns of August" plan, LaRouche emphasized in discussions with colleagues, is the pattern of eyewitness reports of Dick Cheney´s state of mind. Cheney is living out an American version of "Hitler in the bunker," lashing out at Republican Senators who have dared to resist his mad tirades, accusing anyone who fails to follow his orders—including senior members of the United States Senate—of being "traitors" and worse.
And finally, LaRouche identified a series of reports from highly qualified Congressional, military, and intelligence community sources, who have confirmed the essential features of the original American Conservative account of Cheney´s Strangelove schemes for a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. These sources have emphasized that these Iran plans are not merely military contingency studies, but represent the policy intentions of Cheney

The rationale for this attitude was expressed in a conversation on August 1, 2001, between the Israeli Military Attaché in the Federal Republic to a member of the Israeli General Staff. There it was stated that Israel believed an attack on the continental United States would so inflame American public opinion that they would permit Israel to "cleanse" their state of "Arab terrorists and those who support such terrorists". This "cleansing" was explained as the expulsion of all Arabs, and even Christian groups, from the Palestine area.
American intelligence officials have repeatedly expressed great concern in meeting with our people that the Israeli government, through a company called Amdocs, was able to conduct surveillance of all telephone communications within the United States. It was categorically stated that this Israeli-based firm was given the American contract with 25 of the largest American telephone companies. This contract was granted over the objections and concerns of the American intelligence community.
The official reason given for this extraordinary arrangement that permitted Israeli agencies to observe all highly confidential investigative telephone calls was that the United States has a "special relationship" with the State of Israel and they had requested this."
This information is completely credible because Israel is famous for impersonating or manipulating Arab criminals into terrorist activites such that they can legitimate their genocidal land grab in Palestine.
"Other allegations involved Israelis claiming to be art students who had backgrounds in signal interception and ordnance. " - Forward Magazine
Ordnance? Is that bombs? Signal Interception. Is that spying?
Here´s a synopsis of the DEA Report by John Sugg of Creative Loafing, one of the people involved in breaking the story:
A major international espionage saga is unfolding across the United States, with some of its roots right here in the Atlanta area. It´s been pretty hush-hush so far, largely because the implications could be a major embarrassment for the government.
The spy story is even more touchy because it isn´t Saddam, Fidel, Osama or even what passes nowadays for the KGB spying on America -- but our "friend" in the war against "evil," Israel.
The basis of the spy allegations is a 60-page document -- a compilation of field reports by Drug Enforcement Administration agents and other U.S. law enforcement officials.
Creative Loafing last week obtained a copy of the report from intelligence sources with long-term contacts among both Israeli and American agencies. The government has attempted to deflect attention from earlier leaks about the spy scandal. However, while declining to confirm or deny the authenticity of the document, a spokesman for the DEA, William Glaspy, did acknowledge that the agency had received many reports of the nature described in the 60 pages.
A source familiar with the creation of the document has told CL that the 60-page memo was a draft intended as the base for a 250-page report. The larger report has not been produced because of the volatile nature of suggesting that Israel spies on America´s deepest secrets.
Another DEA spokesperson, Rogene Waite, told Associated Press a draft document had been compiled and forwarded to other agencies.
The validity of the scenarios described in the document is attested to in at least one official mention. The Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, in a March 2001 summary, reported on "suspicious visitors to federal facilities" and noted the type of "aggressive" activity recounted in the document obtained by the Planet.
The nation´s most prominent Jewish newspaper, the New York-based Forward, also has confirmed portions of the vast spying network -- although stating that the Israelis were monitoring Arabs in the United States, not trying to access U.S. secrets. Referring to the arrest of five Israeli employees of a New Jersey moving company who were arrested and held for two months after the Sept. 11 attack, Forward on March 15 stated: "According to one former high-ranking American intelligence official, who asked not to be named, the FBI came to the conclusion at the end of its investigation that the five Israelis ... were conducting a Mossad surveillance mission and that their employer, Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, N.J., served as a front."
Forward also reported that a counterintelligence probe concluded two of the men were operatives of Mossad, Israel´s spy service.
Reports of the spying were first made public in December broadcasts by Fox News reporter Carl Cameron. It isn´t clear whether he had the 60-page document or was only told its contents. A French online news service has obtained the report, and Le Monde in Paris has advanced the story. However, in the United States, the media ignored the original Fox broadcast, and only a handful of publications. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution hasn´t reported the story although another Cox-owned paper, The Palm Beach Post has.
The absence of reporting hasn´t gone unnoticed. The authoritative British intelligence and military analysis service, Jane´s Information Group, on March 13 chided: "It is rather strange that the U.S. media ... seem to be ignoring what may well prove to be the most explosive story since the 11 September attack, the alleged breakup of a major Israeli espionage operation in the United States which aimed to infiltrate both the Justice and Defense departments and which may also have been tracking al-Qaida terrorists before the aircraft hijackings took place."
In flat language and sometimes excruciating bureaucratic detail, the document relates scores of encounters between federal agents and Israelis describing themselves as art students. The implication is that the seemingly innocuous cover was used to gain access to sensitive U.S. offices and military installations. For example, Paragraph 82 of the document states that MacDill Air Force Base intelligence officers were warned in March 2001 of the art students´ efforts. A month later, a special alert was issued about a "possible intelligence collection effort" at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City. Among other activities, the base houses AWACS surveillance planes and repairs B-1 bombers.
The author of the document is not identified. However, many DEA and other law enforcement agents are named. CL has contacted some of the named agents, and three federal employees have confirmed the incidents described in the report. None disputed the authenticity of the report. One senior DEA official, when read paragraphs that mentioned him, said: "Absolutely, that´s my report," adding, however, that he didn´t think the incidents were sufficient to prove an ongoing spy operation. All of the federal employees said they could not be quoted by name.
The specific incidents are richly chronicled, down to names, drivers´ license numbers, addresses and phone numbers of the Israelis.
Perhaps most intriguing, the Israelis´ military and intelligence specialties are listed: "special forces," "intelligence officer," "demolition/explosive ordnance specialist," "bodyguard to head of Israeli army," "electronic intercept operator" -- even "son of a two-star (Israeli) army general."
"The activities of these Israeli art students raised the suspicion of (the DEA´s Office of Security Programs) and other field offices when attempts were made to circumvent the access control systems at DEA offices, and when these individuals began to solicit their paintings at the homes of DEA employees," the document states. "The nature of the individuals´ conduct, combined with intelligence information and historical information regarding past incidents (involving Israelis leads the DEA) to believe the incidents may well be an organized intelligence gathering activity."
The document also links the Israelis to possible drug investigations. The report states: "DEA Orlando has developed the first drug nexus to this group. Telephone numbers obtained from an Israeli Art Student encountered at the Orlando (district office) have been linked to several ongoing DEA MDMA (Ecstasy) investigations in Florida, California, Texas, and New York."
Much of the Israeli activity, according to the report, centered on Florida. In addition to attempting to gain access to government installations, the document states that the Israelis approached many intelligence agents, prosecutors and federal marshals at their homes -- including one incident on Davis Islands.
In researching this story, the CL has learned of other encounters not included in the 60-page report. For example, a member of Congress from Georgia recounted to CL of being targeted by the art students on two occasions. A Tampa state court judge was also approached. Neither the member of Congress nor the judge wanted to be named.
In an era where CNN CEO Walter Issacson says it would be "perverse" to televise Afghan babies killed by U.S. bombs, it´s not surprising some stories go unnoticed by a press that embraces "patriotism" by ignoring sacred cows.
One such sacred cow is what´s happening in Israel and Palestine. Reporters know that to criticize Israel -- to point out, for example, that wanton killing of innocents is equally devilish, whether committed by Ariel Sharon´s soldiers flying U.S.-made helicopters, or by a Hamas suicide bomber who pushes the button -- is to risk being called an anti-Semite. It´s a tired canard meant to bludgeon debate into silence, but it´s often effective.
Even with that background, however, it´s a little hard to understand the media´s avoidance of the spy story. In 1999, word began spreading among intelligence agencies about bands of Israeli "students" doing very strange things, such as popping up around federal buildings and military establishments marketing artwork.
According to CL intelligence sources, low-level alerts began being flashed around to offices of the FBI, DEA, federal prosecutors and others. By March 23, 2001, counterintelligence officials had issued a bulletin to be on the watch for Israelis masquerading as "art students." The alert stated that there was an "ongoing ´security threat´ in the form of individuals who are purportedly ´Israeli National Art Students´ that are targeting government offices selling ´artwork.´"
At the same time, American intelligence services were increasingly worried by the dominance of many highly sensitive areas of telecommunications by Israeli companies. Comverse Infosys (now called Verint) provides U.S. lawmen with computer equipment for wiretapping. Speculation is that "catch gates" in the system allowed listeners to be listened to. Software made by another Israeli outfit, Amdocs, provided extensive records of virtually all calls placed by the 25 largest U.S. telephone companies. The relationship of those companies to the detained Israelis is detailed in the 60-page document.
The DEA´s intense interest in the case stems from its 1997 purchase of $25-million in interception equipment from Israeli companies, according to a March 14 report by Intelligence Online, a French Web-based service that first revealed the existence of the 60-page document.
"In assigning so many resources to the inquiry (all DEA offices were asked to contribute)," Intelligence Online stated. "The agency was clearly worried that its own systems might have been compromised."
Often the Israeli "students" sold their artwork on street locations near federal buildings. In Tampa on March 1, 2001, a DEA agent heard a knock on his office door. According to the government report: "At the door was a young female who immediately identified herself as an Israeli art student who had beautiful art to sell." Knowing about the security alert, the agent began questioning the "student." After several contradictory statements, the agent concluded "her responses were evasive at best."
Elsewhere, the document notes that the students were "persistent" in trying to gain access to the homes of law enforcement personnel.
On other occasions, the "students" showed up at homes of intelligence agents, judges and other government employees. The report describes a December 2000 incident when a man and a woman knocked on the door of an Atlanta DEA agent. "Both subjects claimed to be Israeli art students," the document states. "The Special Agent examined some of the artwork, but became suspicious when the students would not provide him with a contact telephone number.... Subsequently, the Special Agent saw someof the exact same artwork for sale at [a]kiosk in the Mall of Georgia."
Many of the apparent operatives had set up shop at addresses only stones´ throws from Arabs in San Diego, Little Rock, Irving, Texas, and in South Florida. The Planet also has obtained a watch list of mostly Arabs under scrutiny by the U.S. government. The addresses of many correspond to the specific areas where the Israelis established bases.
For example, an address for the Sept. 11 hijacking leader, Mohammad Atta, is 3389 Sheridan St. in Hollywood, Fla., only a few blocks and a few hundred feet from the address of some of the Israelis, at 4220 Sheridan.
A dozen Israelis, including the alleged surveillance leader, had been based in Hollywood, Fla., between January and June last year -- quite possibly watching Arabs living nearby who are suspected of providing logistical support to Osama bin Laden´s network. Especially in Florida, where 10 of the 19 Sept. 11 terrorists lived, the revelations about the Israeli activities bolster speculation, reported by a Fox news reporter, that the students-cum-spies might have gained advance knowledge of aspects of the Sept. 11 terrorists -- and not passed on that critical intelligence to the United States. CL sources with Israeli connections suggest that the information might have been relayed to U.S. agencies, but might have been ignored or overlooked.
Despite the highly suspect behavior of the Israelis, the media hadn´t picked up on the story.
Then came Sept. 11. While America was mesmerized by the "War on Terrorism," the media went out to a four-martini lunch when it came to skeptical reporting.
With a few commendable exceptions. One of those is Carl Cameron, a gutsy reporter for Fox News. On Dec. 12, Cameron broke the blockbuster spy story. He said at the time: "Since Sept. 11, more than 60 Israelis have been arrested or detained, either under the new PATRIOT anti-terrorism law, or for immigration violations. A handful of active Israeli military were among those detained, according to investigators, who say some of the detainees also failed polygraph questions when asked about alleged surveillance activities against and in the United States."
Fox also reported the Israeli "students" "targeted" U.S. military bases -- which is bolstered by the report obtained by the CL.
In the rest of the world -- Europe, Arab countries and Israel, especially -- the story made headlines. Even the official Chinese news agency perked up. Not in our well-defended (against disturbing news) homeland, however.
Cameron, in an interview, said he doesn´t believe the conspiracy theories about why the story was ignored here. An honest scribe, he points to a shortcoming in his own work -- one hammered on by Israeli critics at the time -- conceding "there were no (on the record) interviews. I didn´t tell other reporters where to find the documents. They couldn´t do instant journalism."
Others at Fox confirm there was intense pressure on the network by pro-Israeli lobbying groups, such as the Anti-Defamation League and the misnamed Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (CAMERA).
"These charges are arrant nonsense unworthy of the usually reliable Fox News," CAMERA huffed in a Dec. 12 release.
Cameron reported Dec. 13 that federal agents were afraid to criticize Israel. "Investigators within the DEA, INS and FBI have all told Fox News that to pursue or even suggest Israeli spying ... is considered career suicide."
Cameron told me in similar language that´s what journalists also can face. And, what´s clear is that Fox quickly removed the story from its Web site. (It was reposted this month by Fox after other media began showing interest in the story.)
After Cameron´s initial reports, the story pretty much evaporated in the United States before Christmas. Then, all hell broke loose in the last few weeks. Intelligence Online in France obtained the same 60-page June 2001 federal report that CL has. The French Web site reported that 120 Israelis had by now been detained or deported by U.S. authorities.
Let´s repeat that: 120 potential spies. This isn´t worth press curiosity?
Few papers have given the story significant space. Many, like the AJC, haven´t uttered a peep.
Some of what has seeped out is disturbing. The Oklahoman, prompted by the French articles, reported last week that 10 months ago four Israelis peddling artwork (but carrying military IDs) were detained near sensitive Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. Le Monde in Paris recounted that six intercepted "students" had cell phones purchased by an Israeli vice consul in the United States. Sources told me that many of the phones had a walkie-talkie feature that was virtually impossible to intercept.
Bush administration shills were quick to try to spin the story -- perhaps to minimize damage should it turn out the government did have information in advance about the people or activities that led to the Sept. 11 attack. A Justice Department spokesperson, Susan Dryden, called the spy report an "urban myth," and other federal flacks trumpeted that no Israeli had been charged with or deported for spying. Of course, in the Great Game, "friendly" spies are seldom embarrassed by being called by their true colors. The Israelis who have been deported have been given the boot because of visa expirations and other minor violations.
The Washington Post, which apparently doesn´t have the 60-page document, nonetheless reported March 6 that unnamed law enforcement officials had told the paper that a "disgruntled" DEA agent had compiled the report after other federal agencies didn´t react to the Israelis´ suspicious behavior. The Post, however, also quoted a DEA spokesman who acknowledged that the large number of incident reports had been combined into a draft memo. As with CL´s inquiry, the DEA spokesman wouldn´t confirm for the Post whether the memo was the 60-page document.
Predictably, Israeli Embassy spokesman Mark Reguev derided the Intelligence Online report as "nonsense."
And, pro-Israeli apologists such as anti-Arab ideologue Daniel Pipes quickly took the field with strident polemics. Pipes, who makes no claim of having seen the 60-page document, nonetheless claimed in a March 11 column that the story was a "dangerous falsehood" and that "U.S. journalists found not a shred of evidence to support" it.
The fact that reporters were beginning to piece together real shreds was blithely ignored by Pipes.
Israel in the past has belligerently denied wrongdoing until long after the truth was obvious. Israel claimed Jonathan Pollard -- a super spy who did horrendous, deadly damage to the United States until arrested in 1985 - wasn´t an agent. And, Israel has stubbornly contended its 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, in which 35 American sailors were slaughtered, was an accident -- a lie exposed in recent reports including one last fall on the History Channel. A recent authoritative book, Body of Secrets, by James Bamford, concludes that National Security Agency officials "were virtually unanimous in their belief that the attack was deliberate."
With the purported art students, it´s likely that denial will reach screeching levels. The Bush administration would find it difficult to explain why it either ignored or discounted such a large espionage operation."
Here´s the full DEA report with supporting documents.
The four part Fox News TV series that got pulled is here.
Recently, the National Enquirer ran a story that "MI5 and Mossad are alleging that al Qaeda has planted weapons around the USA." Moshe Cohen, a non-Zionist Jew from New York reveals the strategy behind that poor attempt at population conditioning. The Mossad has a history of planting misleading rumors in the press prior to their attacks. Documentation for that claim appears in Mossad whistleblower Victor Ostrovsky´s books, By Way of Deception and The Other Side of Deception. The Mossad is much more involved than distributing rumors. Check out this operation in which Ostrovsky documents how the Mossad actually engineereed false intelligence that resulted in the bombing of Libya. Notice the similarity to the Office of Special Plans that engineered the false intelligence on Iraq. Ostrovsky documented this pattern and predicted the destruction of Saddam back in the eighties and nineties:
"Ephraim had spelled it all out for me and confirmed some of the information I´d already known. He then went on. "After the bombing of Libya, our friend Qadhafi is sure to stay out of the picture for some time. Iraq and Saddam Hussein are the next target. We´re starting now to build him up as the big villain. It will take some time, but in the end, there´s no doubt it´ll work."
"But isn´t Saddam regarded as moderate toward us, allied with Jordan, the big enemy of Iran and Syria?"
"Yes, that´s why I´m opposed to this action. But that´s the directive, and I must follow it. Hopefully, you and I will be done with our little operation before anything big happens. After all, we have already destroyed his nuclear facility, and we are making money by selling hlm technology and equipment through South Africa."
In the following weeks, more and more discoveries were made regarding the big gun and other elements of the Saddam war machine. The Mossad had all but saturated the intelligence field with information regarding the evil intentions of Saddam the Terrible, banking on the fact that before long, he´d have enough rope to hang himself. It was very clear what the Mossad´s overall goal was. It wanted the West to do its bidding, just as the Americans had in Libya with the bombing of Qadhafi. After all, Israel didn´t possess carriers and ample air power, and although it was capable of bombing a refugee camp in Tunis, that was not the same. The Mossad leaders knew that if they could make Saddam appear bad enough and a threat to the Gulf oil supply, of which he´d been the protector up to that point, then the United States and its allies would not let him get away with anything, but would take measures that would all but eliminate his army and his weapons potential, especially if they were led to believe that this might just be their last chance before he went nuclear.
Ostrovsky knows that being famous keeps him alive."
Dick Cheney and other members of the Administration keep saying they "KNOW" there will be another terrorist attack. Maybe they have inside information. The top level of the US administration (Feith, Wolfowitz, Libby, Luti, Perle, Zakheim) has very close ties to Israel, some of them even being dual nationals. Perle, Wolfowitz and Feith have all either been caught or investigated spying for Israel.
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski´s pieces on the Israeli generals in Doug Feith´s office reveal the extent of Israeli penetration at the Pentagon.
Here´s a picture of one of the meetings between Paul Wolfowitz and Israeli Defense Chief Shaul Mofaz.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the AIPAC spy probe. Two officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) were recently arrested distributing classified information from Larry Franklin, the Defense Intelligence Agency specialist on Iran. They´ve both now been fired, but shouldn´t they be in custody?
Altogether, the QUANTITY of Israeli or dual nationals both in and out of government arrested spying and or possibly moving explosives (of the 120 Israeli nationals deported prior to 9/11, many were expert in explosives or signals intelligence (also check DEA report for confirmation) prior to and after 9/11 warrants a thorough investigation and interdiction. Especially given the high-level Israeli infiltration of the US civilian and military command.

Hello again, Jeff. Am reading the article "Israeli Nationals, Nukes..." posted at your website. Do you know what is frighteningly close to Whitpain, PA? The Limerick Nuclear Power Facility.
[link to www.nucleartourist.com]
You bet I want to know about this information. I live just outside of the evacuation zone and drive within spitting distance of the power plant weekly.
The link from the article on your website fails to mention the close proximity of Limerick to the Whitpain area where the suspects were detained. Thought you might want to know.
Addendum: Selections from a letter I wrote contains some additional evidence and analysis regarding the Zionist connection to 911.
Understanding Before Action
The Israeli Connection Must Be Understood
Calling Zionist Research Anti-Semitic Curtails Legitimate Inquiry
It is accepted among many with Jewish heritage who have done the research that the Jewish people themselves are one of the most common sacrificial lambs of the Zionists. Zionist political wolves, like their kind in all religions, do not care whose people are sacrificed on the march to Greater Israel. Witness the Masonic Pyramid with the all-seeing Eye (top left in photo) on top of the Supreme Court of Israel:
My understanding is that the Masonic Pyramid is a New World Order symbol that looks towards a day when "they" control the globe from the top of their pyramid. It even says New World Order under the Masonic Pyramid on the US dollar bill. Whether the New World Order is Zionist or British or transnational or American is beside the point. The Israeli Supreme Court Building, designed and paid for by the central banker Rothschilds, promotes it. Those on the receiving end of Globalization now have a terrific advocate in John Perkins, whose new book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman exposes Globalization and the New World Order for what it really is: a transnational, transreligious, corporate crime syndicate whose major criminal enterprises are known as banks, intelligence services and "Defense" departments.
According to Andreas von Bulow, the former German Parliamentarian with whom Mike Ruppert has appeared in Germany:
Von Bulow told AFP that he believes that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, is behind the September 11 terror attacks. These attacks, he said, were carried out to turn public opinion against the Arabs, and boost military and security spending...At this level, he said, the organization doing the planning, such as Mossad, is primarily interested in affecting public opinion. The architectural level planners use corrupt "guns for hire" such as Abu Nidal, the Palestinian terrorist who von Bulow called "an instrument of Mossad," high-ranking Stasi (former East German secret service) operatives, or Libyan agents who organize terror attacks using dedicated people, for example Palestinian and Arab "freedom fighters." The terrorists who actually commit the crimes are what von Bulow calls "the working level," such as the 19 Arabs who allegedly hijacked the planes on September 11. "The working level is part of the deception," he said. "Ninety-five percent of the work of the intelligence agencies around the world is deception and disinformation," von Bulow said, which is widely propagated in the mainstream media creating an accepted version of events. "Journalists don´t even raise the simplest questions," he said adding, "those who differ are labeled as crazy."
Just as important is the Zionist ideology, well summarized by Yitzhak Shamir, former Israeli Prime Minister:
"Neither Jewish morality nor Jewish tradition can be used to disallow terror as a means of war... We are very far from any moral hesitations when concerned with the national struggle. First and foremost, terror is for us a part of the political war appropriate for the circumstances of today..."
These documents should convince any intelligent reader of the importance of examining the possible Zionist connection to the 9/11 terror attacks. There is much more evidence, and those with questions and interest in additional documentation are welcome to request it. Equating legitimate research and critique of those shielding Zionists from public inquiry using the canard of anti-semitism is a typical attack of people who, ironically, are unashamedly racist, anti-Arab and in some cases as documented in the Talmud, anti-Gentile. Instead, those same people should be denouncing the racist Zionist doctrines and distancing themself from Jewish religious teachings that promote or allow racism.

don´t know if I am over reacting, but I just have a strange feeling it is in the making, I had confidence before because I felt that the good guys within the agencies were remaining quiet and were on to the global terrorists and the Pentagon; however, now I feel that they have been almost fully purged. It may be a large city, such as San Diego, San Francisco, L.A., or Houston/Dallas? I don´t think it will be a large nuke, but a nuke nonetheless.
Under the secret plans, the war on terrorism would be led by the Pentagon, and the power of the CIA would be reduced, Hersh wrote in his article.
"It´s sort of a great victory for Donald Rumsfeld, a bureaucratic victory," Hersh told CNN.
He said: "Since the summer of 2002, he´s been advocating, ´Let me run this war, not the CIA. We can do it better. We´ll send our boys in. We don´t have to tell their local military commanders. We don´t have to tell the ambassadors. We don´t have to tell the CIA station chiefs in various countries. Let´s go in and work with the bad guys and see what we can find out.´"
Hersh added that the administration has chipped away at the CIA´s power and that newly appointed CIA Director Porter Goss has overseen a purge of the old order.
"He´s been committing sort-of ordered executions´" Hersh said. "He´s been -- you know, people have been fired, they´ve been resigning."
The target of the housecleaning at the CIA, he said, has been intelligence analysts, some of whom are seen as "apostates -- as opposed to being true believers." (Full story)

Iran´s New President
Sworn In As Nuke
Crisis Deepens
By Angus McDowall and Anne Penketh
The Independent - UK
The ultra-conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been sworn in as President of Iran as a crisis with the West over the country´s nuclear programme deepens.
After being appointed by Iran´s supreme religious leader yesterday, the populist Mr Ahmadinejad said: "I will plead for the suppression of all weapons of mass destruction."
But the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, defended Iran´s right to nuclear power in the face of international pressure, saying: "All powers, and especially the Great Satan America, should know that the Iranian people would not pay tribute to any power." His speech was punctuated by cries of "Death to America, Death to Israel" from regime officials.
The ceremony, held before Mr Ahmadinejad takes office on Saturday, came as Iran rejected an appeal from the International Atomic Energy Agency to delay the resumption of uranium processing at its Isfahan plant.
However, in a change of heart announced on state television later in the day, the outgoing chief negotiator, Hasan Rowhani, signalled that Tehran was prepared to wait until the IAEA could supervise the reopening of the facility. Following an exchange with the IAEA, he said, Iran would agree to wait until "early next week".
The three European Union countries that have been negotiating with Iran in hopes of mothballing its suspected nuclear weapons programme have warned that any resumption of uranium conversion would end that process.
In the light of the latest developments, a Foreign Office spokesman said Britain, France and Germany would "in the next 24 to 36 hours" seek an emergency meeting of the IAEA in which they would join the US in pressing for Iran to be reported to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions.
The Europeans say that the decision to resume nuclear-related activity by Iran, which suspended uranium conversion in November last year, is a breach of its previous undertakings.
The three countries are nevertheless intending to submit a package of economic and security incentives to Iran, after ignoring a series of deadlines set by Tehran. "It´s a happy or unhappy coincidence" that the EU proposals would be put forward under Mr Ahmadinejad´s presidency, and not that of his predecessor, a British official said.
The latest round of sabre-rattling from Iran, which has followed Mr Ahmadinejad´s surprise election in June, has raised fears in the West that the Iranian regime plans a radical policy change that would result in a major international crisis. Following the departure of the reformist President Mohamad Khatami, the Iranian levers of power are now concentrated among the extremists for the first time since the fall of the Shah in 1979.
Diplomats say that Iran seems to have used Mr Ahmadinejad´s election as the pretext for the breakdown in negotiations. Iran may feel it has support from the veto-holding states Russia and China on the security council, which could block any action. It also insists it has the right to uranium enrichment under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Iranian conservatives accuse Europe of using talks to stall the programme, which they see as an important part of Iran´s long-term development. Some also regard a collapse in the talks as inevitable and want to push the programme forward as fast as possible.
These conservatives also want to see new political and social crackdowns. But many of the voters who supported the new president were motivated by opposition to corruption and could oppose new restrictions. If Mr Ahmadinejad also fails to satisfy expectations by cutting high unemployment and inflation, he risks losing much of the support that propelled him to power.
Liberals are, however, worried by some of the names put forward as possible cabinet appointees. A former official accused of involvement in the murder of political dissidents has been proposed for the Intelligence Ministry and an editor of a hardline newspaper has been suggested as a minister for culture - responsible for censorship.
Blacksmith´s son has powerful allies
Iran´s new President presents himself as a man of the people, but he must now weigh the competing demands of important interest groups who helped put him in power. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad still lives in a humble suburban home in a lowly district of east Tehran, but he has already given up a battered Peugeot in favour of the armour-plated Mercedes of high office.
The blacksmith´s son is seen by many of the 17 million Iranians who voted for him on 24 June as coming from outside the political establishment. They hope his government will tackle corruption and the unequal distribution of oil revenue.
But reformists and other critics say he is a close ally of the top conservative officials who have held power since the 1979 revolution. His rise to power was aided by the Basij Islamic militia and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Mr Ahmadinejad´s own history in the Basij and revolutionary guards helped forge close alliances with the new generation of conservatives who have started taking over many bodies of state.
Some reports say that he was a special forces operative in the Iran-Iraq war and some former US embassy hostages say that he was one of the students who held them in 1979. Mr Ahmadinejad denies this.

nails and slugs are among the most bothersome pests in many garden and landscape situations. The brown garden snail (Helix aspersa) is the most common snail causing problems in California gardens; it was introduced from France during the 1850s for use as food.
Several species of slugs are frequently damaging, including the gray garden slug (Agriolimax reticulatus), the banded slug (Limax marginatusi), the tawny slug (Limax flavus), and the greenhouse slug (Milax gagates). Both snails and slugs are members of the mollusk phylum and are similar in structure and biology, except slugs lack the snail's external spiral shell.
Snails and slugs move by gliding along on a muscular "foot." This muscle constantly secretes mucus, which later dries to form the silvery "slime trail" that signals the presence of either pest. Slugs and snails are hermaphrodites, so all have the potential to lay eggs. Adult brown garden snails lay about 80 spherical, pearly white eggs at a time into a hole in the topsoil. They may lay eggs up to six times a year. It takes about 2 years for snails to mature. Slugs reach maturity after about 3 to 6 months, depending on species, and lay clear oval to round eggs in batches of 3 to 40 under leaves, in soil cracks, and in other protected areas.
Snails and slugs are most active at night and on cloudy or foggy days. On sunny days they seek hiding places out of the heat and bright light; often the only clues to their presence are their silvery trails and plant damage. In mild-winter areas such as southern coastal locations, young snails and slugs can be active throughout the year.
During cold weather, snails and slugs hibernate in the topsoil. During hot, dry periods or when it is cold, snails seal themselves off with a parchmentlike membrane and often attach themselves to tree trunks, fences, or walls.
Snails and slugs feed on a variety of living plants as well as on decaying plant matter. On plants they chew irregular holes with smooth edges in leaves and flowers and can clip succulent plant parts. They can also chew fruit and young plant bark. Because they prefer succulent foliage or flowers, they are primarily pests of seedlings and herbaceous plants, but they are also serious pests of ripening fruits, such as strawberries, artichokes, and tomatoes, that are close to the ground. However, they will also feed on foliage and fruit of some trees; citrus are especially susceptible to damage. Look for the silvery mucous trails to confirm damage was caused by slugs or snails and not earwigs, caterpillars, or other chewing insects.
A good snail and slug management program relies on a combination of methods. The first step is to eliminate, to the extent possible, all places where snails or slugs can hide during the day. Boards, stones, debris, weedy areas around tree trunks, leafy branches growing close to the ground, and dense ground covers such as ivy are ideal sheltering spots. There will be shelters that are not possible to eliminate—e.g., low ledges on fences, the undersides of wooden decks, and water meter boxes. Make a regular practice of trapping and removing snails and slugs in these areas. Also, locate vegetable gardens or susceptible plants as far away as possible from these areas. Reducing hiding places allows fewer snails and slugs to survive. The survivors congregate in the remaining shelters, where they can more easily be located and removed. Switching from sprinkler irrigation to drip irrigation will reduce humidity and moist surfaces, making the habitat less favorable for these pests. Choose snail-proof plants for areas where snails and slugs are dense. Copper barriers can be useful for protecting especially susceptible plants. Though baits can be part of a management program for snails and slugs, by themselves they don't provide adequate control in gardens that contain plenty of shelter, food, and moisture.
Choice of plant can greatly affect how difficult your battle with snails and slugs will be. Snails and slugs favor seedlings and plants with succulent foliage and these plants must be vigilantly protected. Some plants that are seriously damaged include basil, beans, cabbage, dahlia, delphinium, hosta, lettuce, marigolds, strawberries, and many vegetable plants. On the other hand, many plants resist damage from snails and slugs including begonias, California poppy, fuchias, geraniums, impatiens, lantana, nasturtiums, and purple robe cup flower, and many plants with stiff leaves and highly scented foliage like lavender, rosemary, and sage. Most ornamental woody plants and ornamental grasses are also not seriously affected. If you design your landscape using plants like these, you are likely to have very limited damage from snails and slugs.
Handpicking can be very effective if done thoroughly on a regular basis. At first it should be done daily. After the population has noticeably declined, a weekly handpicking may be sufficient. To draw out snails, water the infested area in the late afternoon. After dark, search them out using a flashlight, pick them up (rubber gloves are handy when slugs are involved), place them in a plastic bag, and dispose of them in the trash; or they can be put in a bucket with soapy water and then disposed of in your compost pile. Alternatively, captured snails and slugs can be crushed and left in the garden. Household ammonia diluted to a 5 to 10% solution in water can also be sprayed on collected slugs to kill them.
Snails and slugs can be trapped under boards or flower pots positioned throughout the garden and landscape. Inverted melon rinds make good traps. You can make traps from 12" x 15" boards (or any easy-to-handle size) raised off the ground by 1-inch runners. The runners make it easy for the pests to crawl underneath. Scrape off the accumulated snails and slugs daily and destroy them. Crushing is the most common method of destruction. Do not use salt to destroy snails and slugs; it will increase soil salinity.
Beer-baited traps have been used to trap and drown slugs and snails; however, they are not very effective for the labor involved. Beer traps attract slugs and snails within an area of only a few feet, and must be refilled every few days to keep the level deep enough to drown the mollusks. Traps are buried at ground level, so the mollusks easily fall into them. It is the fermented product that attracts them and a sugar-water and yeast mixture can be used in place of beer. Traps must have deep, vertical sides to keep the snails and slugs from crawling out and a top to reduce evaporation. Snail and slug traps can also be purchased at garden supply stores.
Several types of barriers will keep snails and slugs out of planting beds. The easiest to maintain are those made with copper flashing and screen. Copper barriers are effective because it is thought that the copper reacts with the slime that the snail or slug secretes, causing a flow of electricity. Vertical copper screens can be erected around planting beds. The screen should be 6 inches tall and buried several inches below the soil to prevent slugs from crawling through the soil beneath the barrier.
Copper foil (for example, Snail-Barr) can be wrapped around planting boxes, headers, or trunks to repel snails for several years. When banding trunks, wrap the copper foil around the trunk, tab side down, and cut it to allow an 8-inch overlap. Attach one end or the middle of the band to the trunk with one staple oriented parallel to the trunk. Overlap and fasten the ends with one or two large paper clips to allow the copper band to slide as the trunk grows. Bend the tabs out at a 90° angle from the trunk. The bands need to be cleaned occasionally with a vinegar solution. When using copper bands on planter boxes, be sure the soil within the boxes is snail-free before applying bands. If it is not, handpick the snails and slugs from the soil after applying the band until the box is free of these pests.
Instead of copper bands, Bordeaux mixture (a copper sulfate and hydrated lime mixture) or copper sulfate alone can be brushed on trunks to repel snails. One treatment should last about a year. Adding a commercial spreader or white latex paint may increase the persistence of Bordeaux mixture through two seasons. Barriers of dry ashes or diatomaceous earth, heaped in a band 1 inch high and 3 inches wide around the garden, have also been shown to be effective. However, these barriers lose their effectiveness after becoming damp and are therefore difficult to maintain and not very useful in most garden situations.
Natural Enemies
Snails and slugs have many natural enemies, including ground beetles, pathogens, snakes, toads, turtles, and birds, but most are rarely effective enough to provide satisfactory control in the garden. An exception is the use of domesticated fowl—ducks, geese, or chickens—kept penned in infested areas. (Be careful, though, as these birds may also eat seedlings.) The predaceous decollate snail (Rumina decollata) has been released in southern California citrus orchards for control of the brown garden snail and is providing very effective biological control. It feeds only on small snails, not full-sized ones. Because of the potential impact of the decollate snail on certain endangered mollusk species, it cannot be released in California outside of Fresno, Imperial, Kern, Los Angeles, Madera, Orange, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, or Tulare counties. Also, decollate snails may feed on seedlings, small plants, and flowers as well as be a nuisance when they cover the back patio on a misty day. Decollate snails will be killed by snail baits.
Snail and slug baits can be effective when used properly in conjunction with a cultural program incorporating the other methods discussed above. However, baits alone will not effectively control snails or slugs. Several types of snail and slug bait products are available. Baits containing the active ingredient metaldehyde are most common. Metaldehyde baits are particularly poisonous to dogs and cats, and the pelleted form is especially attractive to dogs. Metaldehyde snail baits should not be used where children and pets cannot be kept away from them. Some metaldehyde products are formulated with carbaryl, partly to increase the spectrum of pests controlled to include soil and debris-dwelling insects, spiders, and sowbugs. However, carbaryl is toxic to soil-inhabiting beneficials like ground beetles and earthworms and should be avoided if snail and slug management is all that is required. Metaldehyde baits containing 4% metaldehyde are significantly more effective than those products containing only 2% metaldehyde; however, they are also more toxic to dogs and wildlife. Most currently available 4% products are formulated for use in enclosed bait stations to minimize their hazard.
Avoid getting metaldehyde bait on plants, especially vegetables. Baits containing only metaldehyde are most reliable when temperatures are warm or following a rain when snails and slugs are active. Metaldehyde does not kill snails and slugs directly unless they eat a substantial amount; rather, it stimulates their mucous-producing cells to overproduce mucous in an attempt to detoxify the bait. The cells eventually fail and the snail dies. When it is sunny or hot, they die from desiccation. If baiting is followed by cool and wet weather, they may recover if they ingest a sublethal dose. Do not water heavily for at least 3 or 4 days after bait placement; watering will reduce effectiveness and snails may recover from metaldehyde poisoning if high moisture conditions occur. Most metaldehyde baits break down rapidly when exposed to sunlight; however, some paste or bullet formulations (such as Deadline) hold up somewhat longer under conditions of sunlight and moisture.
A recently registered snail and slug bait, iron phosphate (available under many trade names including Sluggo and Escar-Go), has the advantage of being safe for use around domestic animals, children, birds, fish, and other wildlife and is a good choice for a garden IPM program. Ingestion of the iron phosphate bait, even in small amounts, will cause snails and slugs to cease feeding, although it may take several days for the snails to die. Iron phosphate bait can be scattered on lawns or on the soil around any vegetables, ornamentals, or fruit trees to be protected. Iron phosphate baits may be more effective against snails than slugs.
Sprinkle baits in areas that snails and slugs regularly frequent such as areas around sprinkler heads. Placing baits repeatedly in the same areas maximizes control because molluscs tend to return to food source sites. Never pile bait in mounds or clumps, especially those baits that are hazardous, because piling makes a bait attractive to pets and children. Placement of the bait in a commercial bait trap reduces hazards to pets and children and can protect baits from moisture, but may also reduce their effectiveness. Thick liquid baits may persist better under conditions of rain and sprinklers.
The timing of any baiting is critical; baiting is less effective during very hot, very dry, or cold times of the year because snails and slugs are less active during these periods. Irrigate before applying a bait to promote snail activity and apply the bait in the late afternoon or evening. Application on a warm, humid evening is ideal. Apply bait in a narrow strip around sprinklers, close to walls and fences or in other moist and protected locations, or scatter it along areas that snails and slugs cross to get from sheltered areas to the garden.

China and Russia joint exercises to strengthen ties
>By Mure Dickie in Beijing
>Published: August 2 2005 16:57 | Last updated: August 2 2005 16:57
Nearly 10,000 troops are to take part in unprecedented joint military exercises by China and Russia this month aimed at strengthening ties between the armed forces of two powers that were once bitter foes.
Chinese state media said yesterday the "Peace Mission 2005" exercises would be held from August 18-25 in and around the Russian far eastern port of Vladivostok and the Chinese coastal province of Shandong.
The scale of the exercises, which will involve land, air, naval, paratroop and marine forces, underlines the determination of Beijing and Moscow to expand a military relationship that has blossomed over the past 15 years.
Russia is now China´s leading source of high-technology weaponry, while the Chinese People´s Liberation Army (PLA) has become an important source of foreign currency for the crumbling Russian military industrial complex. "The drills mainly aim to deepen Sino-Russian mutual trust, promote mutual friendship and enhance the co-operation and co-ordination of the two armed forces in the areas of defence and security," China´s official Xinhua news agency said.
Xinhua said about 1,800 troops from Russia would take part in the exercises along with vessels of its Pacific fleet and 17 long-range military cargo planes. "The joint exercises will also help strengthen the capability of the two armed forces in jointly striking international terrorism, extremism and separatism," the agency said.
The reference to separatism will heighten concerns about the exercises in Taiwan, which enjoys de facto independence from China but which Beijing claims as part of its territory. Chinese and Russian officials have insisted the drills are not aimed at any third party. The choice of name for the exercises and the decision to characterise them as aimed against terrorism also reflect Beijing´s desire to avoid fuelling wider worries about its emergence as a military power.
A much-watched report by the US Department of Defence last month suggested the PLA´s growing clout may tempt Beijing to use force against its neighbours and that it could pose a "credible threat" in the long term to other militaries in the region.
The planned exercises set the seal on a dramatic shift in Sino-Russian ties since the late 1980s.
Some people in China say much of the Russian far east rightfully belongs to Beijing and territorial rivalry has underlain diplomatic ties for more than three centuries. Under former communist governments the two countries espoused rival brands of Marxism and fought bloody battles along their common border.
In recent years, China and Russia have worked hard to resolve differences on territorial issues, although some observers say their military marriage is still largely one of convenience.

Exercise to focus on nuclear terror scenario
Posted Jun 29, 2005 at 1:00:PM MDT
FORT MONROE, Va. -- Here's the scenario…A seafaring vessel transporting a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead makes its way into a port off the coast of Charleston, S.C. Terrorists aboard the ship attempt to smuggle the warhead off the ship to detonate it. Is this really a possibility?
Joint Task Force Civil Support (JTF-CS) here is planning its next exercise on the premise that this crisis is indeed plausible.
Sudden Response 05 will take place this August on Fort Monroe and will be carried out as an internal command post exercise. The exercise is intended to train the JTF-CS staff to plan and execute Consequence Management operations in support of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV's response to a nuclear detonation.
Some of this year's objectives for SR05 are to refine nuclear incident Concept of Operations, produce a CM Operation Order, refine command post set-up procedures and maintain situational awareness of multiple CM incidents.
The Sudden Response exercise has been held at Quantico, Va., in the past, but has been moved to Fort Monroe to maximize command post training time. The senior leadership felt that it was more important to accomplish training instead of losing up to a day and a half in travel time, said Paul Deflueri, J7 Lead Exercise Planner. "This will allow us to still meet our training objectives," he said.
Some external participants may work with JTF-CS during the exercise.
"We're trying to get representatives from FEMA Region IV as well as representatives from South Carolina Emergency Management Division and active duty soldiers from the (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) Consequence Management Response Force to play the role of task force units," Defluri said.
"Each time we do one of these internal exercises, we try to make it more robust and try to add in fidelity," Defluri said. "That's what we're trying to do for SR05: create a good scenario and be able to replicate the effects as best we can. That way we can give the command a really good CM exercise."

Showdown with Iran?
Author warns events unfolding toward confrontation

1:00 a.m. Eastern
Corsi pointed out the cleric-led regime has said it´s willing to take 200 million casualties in the world as long as a nuclear conflagration ultimately destroyed the state of Israel.
They mean it when they say "death to Israel" and "death to the United States," he said.
"Their rabid anti-Semitic Jewish hatred is almost identical to what we saw from Hitler, and with Hitler we had a holocaust that killed 6 million Jews and a World War that killed at least another 60 million."

Matt Garza will have an arbitration hearing tomorrow to determine how much he will earn this upcoming season. The two sides have not been able to come to an agreement and are quite far apart as the Cubs offered $7.95 million while Garza is looking for $12.5 million for the 2012 season.
Last year, Garza made $5.9 million and was the Cubs best starting pitcher posting a 10-10 record with a 3.32 ERA. At 28 he is under team control through the 2013 season, thus making him arbitration-eligible again next year.
Tomorrow we will discuss the arbitration decision and what the future might hold for Matt Garza.
