Journalist, Plaintiff Chris Hedges Hails "Monumental" Ruling on NDAA Indefinite Detention
Published on May 17, 2012 by democracynow
DemocracyNow.org – In a rare move, a federal judge has struck down part of a controversial law signed by President Obama that gave the government the power to indefinitely detain anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial — including U.S. citizens. Judge Katherine Forrest of the Southern District of New York ruled the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act likely violates the First and Fifth Amendments of U.S. citizens. We speak with Chris Hedges, a journalist who filed the suit challenging the NDAA along with six others, and Bruce Afran, the group's attorney. "This is another window into the steady assault against civil liberties," Hedges says. "What makes [the ruling] so monumental is that finally, we have a federal judge who stands up for the rule of law."

Homeland Battlefield: Congress still ok with indefinite detention and torture of Americans
Published on May 18, 2012 by RTAmerica
On Wednesday, activists and journalists across America rejoiced in a federal judge's ruling that the National Defense Authorization Act is unconstitutional. The judge sided with the plaintiffs when it came to section 1021 of the act, which allows for the military to indefinitely detain Americans at home and abroad without due process. But now Congress is seeking to create a new NDAA. On Friday, the US House of Representatives approved the 2013 NDAA and even shot down an amendment that would cancel the indefinite detention provisions. Carl Mayer, attorney for The Mayer Law Group representing the plaintiffs, joins us for more on the NDAA.
Iranian protesters denounce Saudi-Bahrain union plan
* Cleric: Union is "ill-fated plot" Muslims won't tolerate
* Iran-Gulf Arab tensions on the rise
May 18 (Reuters) – Thousands of Iranians rallied on Friday against plans for union between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, state television showed, and an influential cleric denounced the idea as an "ill-fated plot" that will never be tolerated by Muslims.
Tension between Iran and U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states has run high in recent months with Arab leaders accusing Tehran of fomenting Shi'ite Muslim unrest in Bahrain – a charge that Shi'ite Iran and the protesters deny.
The dispute worsened when Tehran denounced efforts by six Gulf Arab states at a summit earlier this week to forge closer political and military union, largely to counter Iran's growing regional power. The talks ended inconclusively.
In the run-up to the Riyadh meeting, speculation was rife that an initial union would be announced between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, where anti-government protests led by majority Shi'ites have gripped the island state since last year.
"This plot is an ill-fated plot that is taking place with the American and Zionist (Israeli) green light but they should know that the people of Bahrain and the region, Muslims around the world and in Iran will never tolerate it," cleric Kazem Sediqi said in a Friday sermon broadcast live on state radio.
Iranian state television aired footage of thousands of people holding rallies around the country and chanting slogans against the ruling royal families in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to protest against the proposed Manama-Riyadh union.
"Instead of surrendering to its own people, it (the Bahraini government) is surrendering its identity, with total abjectness, to another country," Sediqi said.
Tehran summoned the Bahraini charge d'affaires on Thursday to complain about a statement from the small Gulf island state – strategically sensitive as the base for the U.S. Fifth Fleet – that accused Iran of violating its sovereignty.
China blind activist to get passport 'within 15 days'
by Staff Writers
Beijing (AFP)
Blind activist Chen Guangcheng said Thursday China had agreed to issue him a passport within 15 days, allowing him to go to the United States after a bitter row between Beijing and Washington.
It was the first indication of when Chen would be allowed to leave the country since he left the US embassy more than two weeks ago after seeking refuge there following his dramatic escape from house arrest.
Speaking to AFP by telephone from the hospital where he is being treated, Chen also said authorities had promised to investigate murder charges brought against his nephew that he has said are motivated by revenge.
"Officials visited yesterday, we filled out passport application forms for myself, my wife and children," said the 40-year-old legal campaigner, who triggered a diplomatic crisis when he fled to the US embassy last month.
"They said the passports should be issued within 15 days," he added. The couple have a nine-year-old son and a six-year-old daughter.
Chen, one of China's best-known dissidents, has won plaudits for exposing rights abuses including forced sterilisations and late-term abortions under China's "one-child" family planning policy.
His activism earned him a four-year prison sentence that ended in 2010 when he was placed under extra-judicial house arrest in his home village of Dongshigu in the eastern province of Shandong, where he languished until his escape.
Wednesday's meeting with government officials was his first since May 7, when they told Chen they were processing papers for him to leave for the US, where he has been offered fellowships to study law.
Details of his dramatic flight from house arrest have gradually emerged during his time in hospital, and on Thursday, he told how he feared for his life and for the safety of the villagers who helped him.
"After I escaped from home, that is when I was the most worried," Chen said.
"There were at least 60 or so people guarding me in the village. If they had discovered I had escaped they could have beaten me to death. At that time it was very, very dangerous."
News of Chen's escape broke just days before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Beijing for pre-arranged talks and made headlines around the world, causing major embarrassment for the Chinese government.
As Clinton arrived in China, Chen left the US embassy and was taken by diplomats to a Beijing hospital after Chinese authorities guaranteed his safety.
Since then, he has accused local officials in Shandong of targeting his relatives out of revenge for his escape.
His nephew, Chen Kegui, is in detention charged with "intentional homicide" over an attack on a local official who broke into the family's home after discovering that Chen had escaped from under the noses of his guards.
The official was said at the time to have survived the attack and the charge has baffled lawyers representing Chen Kegui, who say it will not stand up in court. Police in Yinan county, which includes Dongshigu, refused to comment on the case when contacted by AFP.
Chinese Human Rights Defenders, a rights group, said police had detained and tortured Chen Guangcheng's older brother Chen Guangfu, the father of Chen Kegui, on April 27 — the day of the break-in.
"Authorities handcuffed Chen Guangfu and shackled his legs, and then whipped his hands with a leather belt, struck him in the ribs, and stomped hard on his feet," the group said in a statement late Wednesday.
"The abuses against Chen Guangfu represent the most physically violent treatment to surface so far among the spate of retaliatory acts towards those with links to Chen Guangcheng after his flight from house arrest."
Chen Guangfu remains "under strict control" and cannot contact other family members, including many who are also being monitored by authorities, the group said, citing local sources in Yinan.
Chen Guangcheng said the government officials who visited him on Wednesday had promised to investigate the situation.
Two lawyers had tried to visit Chen Kegui on Wednesday but were turned away by police.
"Yinan police said the person in charge was not there and did not allow them to see Chen Kegui," Chen Guangcheng told AFP, adding he feared authorities were refusing visits because his nephew had been beaten.

Paul Krugman on Eurozone: "The Whole Thing Could Fall Apart in a Matter of Months"
Published on May 17, 2012 by democracynow
DemocracyNow.org – The European economic crisis is expected to top the agenda at the G8 meeting tomorrow at Camp David. In Greece, voters will soon head to the polls for another round of elections which will be viewed by many as a referendum on the Euro. Our guest today, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, warns the current bank run in Greece could spiral into the end of the Eurozone. "It is really quite shocking," Krugman says. "I hate to sound apocalyptic." Meanwhile, France's new finance minister has reiterated that the country's new socialist government will not ratify the European Union's fiscal pact calling for greater austerity.

UK's David Cameron: Greece Is On The Brink, Survival Of The Euro In Question
By Matt Falloon
MANCHESTER, England, May 17 (Reuters) – Prime Minister David Cameron urged Europe's rulers on Thursday to do more to quell the euro zone debt crisis and raised the prospect of a Greek default to argue he must stick to his unpopular attempt to cut spending and reduce debt at home.
Warning that the survival of the euro was now in question, Cameron showed growing alarm and frustration that the crisis was spinning out of control, threatening Britain's $2.5 trillion economy and his own electoral prospects in 2015.
"Greece is on the brink, the survival of the euro in question," Cameron told business leaders on a grey and damp morning in the northern English city of Manchester.
"Faced with this, I have a clear task: to keep Britain safe. Not to take the easy course – but the right course," he added.
Echoing the words of Bank of England Governor Mervyn King, Cameron said the crisis in the European Union – Britain's biggest trading partner – had lasted more than two years but the "storm" was far from over.
"We are in unchartered territory which carries huge risks for everybody. As I have consistently said, it is in Britain's interest for the euro zone to sort out its problems."
He said Europe's problems showed the dangers of scrapping his government's attempt to cut Britain's vast budget deficit, though he called on the European Central Bank to stimulate demand to help peripheral euro members.

National Nurses United calls for international campaign for financial transaction tax
VOICEOVER: On Friday, May 18th, several thousand nurses belonging to the National Nurses United union rallied in downtown Chicago's Daley plaza to host what they have dubbed the people's G8. The action coincides with a number of mobilizations planned over the weekend in Chicago, which was set to host both the G8 and NATO summits. The federal government decided to move the G8 Summit to Camp David in a remote part of Maryland, citing security concerns over the large protests planned against the economic and military conferences.
John Williams: The Recovery Is An Illusion (GLD, SLV, TZA, SDS, INDEXSP:.INX)
JT Long: John Williams, author of the ShadowStats.com newsletter, shines light on his interpretations of the GDP, CPI, unemployment and other government statistics in this exclusive Gold Report interview from the recent Recovery Reality Check conference. Highlights include what the money supply measures tell him and why QE3 will be a hard sell.
The Gold Report: John, at the recent Casey Research Recovery Reality Check conference you described the economic recovery heralded by the Obama administration as an illusion based largely on skewed inflation data. Can you walk us through why, based on your calculations, a recovery is impossible?
John Williams: We can start with the gross domestic product (GDP), which like most economic reports is adjusted for inflation. If you take inflation out of it, what is left should be changes in economic activity, as opposed to changes from prices going up or down.
The Federal Reserve System: The Ultimate Disorganizing Organization
Jeff Harding: In the remarks below I evaluate the Federal Reserve System — and the institution of central banking more generally — from the perspective of an organizational economist. While I strongly disagree with many of the key policies of the Federal Reserve Board both before and after the financial crisis and Great Recession, my argument does not focus on particular actions taken by this or that chair and board. The problem is not that the Fed has made some mistakes — perhaps addressed by restating its statutory mandate, scrutinizing its behavior more carefully, and so on — but that the very institution of a central monetary authority is inherently destabilizing and harmful to entrepreneurship and economic growth. …
Instead, market forces should determine levels of borrowing and saving, owning and renting, and entrepreneurial activity. Put differently, the monetary system is so important that it cannot be entrusted to a government agency — even a scientifically distinguished, nominally independent, prestigious organization like the Federal Reserve System.— Peter G. Klein.
This quote comes from Professor Peter Klein's blistering critique of the Fed's role as central economic planner in his May 8 testimony before the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology. This is a brilliant analysis of the causes of our economic woes and I urge you to read it. If you wish to see his testimony on C-SPAN, go here. It includes testimony by Professors Jeffrey Herbener and John Taylor. Klein gives a good lesson in Austrian economic theory in practice. His testimony was published on Mises.org.
Russia protests spark massive money outflow
Published on May 18, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish
Russia's continuing protest movement that began in 2011 against alleged corruption and vote-rigging by the ruling United Russia party of President Vladimir Putin has caused many wealthy Russians to move their financial assets abroad amid widespread fears of a looming economic crisis.
The outflow of capital from Russia was more than $80.5b in 2011 and $42b so far in this year, prompting economists to urge the government to tackle corruption and become more business-friendly.

Europe: 'Cuts Aren't Working…Let's Spend…Oh Wait…' (NYSEARCA:SPY)
Chris Ciovacco: The gravity of the global debt crisis can be seen in the flip-flop game plans from policymakers. The reaction to the 2008 crisis was to try to "spend our way out of this". That didn't work, but it did succeed in pushing debt levels even higher. The second approach, championed by Germany's Angela Merkel, is based on the "cut spending and restore confidence" theory. That isn't working either.
Now we have come full circle with Tim Geithner and the IMF again calling for "pro-growth" policies. Pro-growth is a politically correct way of saying "spend money we don't have." According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the Keynesian approach of the government leading the private sector to the promise land of growth, is now being embraced by the most broke nation of them all – Greece:
Mr. Tsipras, the head of Greece's left party and an engineer by training, recommends a stimulus package to boost the Greek economy and has called for tearing up the country's existing austerity-for-loans program. He has suggested scrapping plans to lay off 150,000 public-sector workers by 2015, and repealing recent measures to push down private-sector wages. He favors nationalizing the banking system so as to better direct lending policies, and speaks favorably of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Depression-era New Deal program and President Barack Obama's stimulus package—something Mr. Tsipras said is lacking in Europe.
Wars and Rumors of War
Mexican Jihad
As the United States considers the Islamic jihadi threats confronting it from all sides, it might do well to focus on its southern neighbor, Mexico, which has been targeted by Islamists and jihadists, who, through a number of tactics—from engaging in da'wa, converting Mexicans to Islam, to smuggling and the drug cartel, to simple extortion, kidnappings and enslavement—have been subverting Mexico in order to empower Islam and sabotage the U.S.
According to a 2010 report, "Close to home: Hezbollah terrorists are plotting right on the U.S. border," which appeared in the NY Daily News:
Mexican authorities have rolled up a Hezbollah network being built in Tijuana, right across the border from Texas and closer to American homes than the terrorist hideouts in the Bekaa Valley are to Israel. Its goal, according to a Kuwaiti newspaper that reported on the investigation: to strike targets in Israel and the West. Over the years, Hezbollah—rich with Iranian oil money and narcocash—has generated revenue by cozying up with Mexican cartels to smuggle drugs and people into the U.S. In this, it has shadowed the terrorist-sponsoring regime in Tehran, which has been forging close ties with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, who in turn supports the narcoterrorist organization FARC, which wreaks all kinds of havoc throughout the region.
Another 2010 article appearing in the Washington Times asserts that, "with fresh evidence of Hezbollah activity just south of the border [in Mexico], and numerous reports of Muslims from various countries posing as Mexicans and crossing into the United States from Mexico, our porous southern border is a national security nightmare waiting to happen." This is in keeping with a recent study done by Georgetown University, which revealed that the number of immigrants from Lebanon and Syria living in Mexico exceeds 200,000. Syria, along with Iran, is one of Hezbollah's strongest financial and political supporters, and Lebanon is the immigrants' country of origin.
A jihadist cell in Mexico was recently found to have a weapons cache of 100 M-16 assault rifles, 100 AR-15 rifles, 2,500 hand grenades, C4 explosives and antitank munitions. The weapons, it turned out, had been smuggled by Muslims from Iraq. According to this report, "obvious concerns have arisen concerning Hezbollah's presence in Mexico and possible ties to Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTO's) operating along the U.S.—Mexico border."
Iran attack decision nears, Israeli elite locks down
(Reuters) – A private door opens from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office in central Jerusalem directly into a long, modestly furnished, half-paneled room decorated with modern paintings by Israeli artists and a copy of Israel's 1948 declaration of independence. It contains little more than a long wooden table, brown leather chairs and a single old-fashioned white projector screen.
This inner sanctum at the end of a corridor between Netanyahu's private room and the office of his top military adviser, is where one of the decade's most momentous military decisions could soon be taken: to launch an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear program.
Time for that decision is fast running out and the mood in Jerusalem is hardening.
Iran continues to enrich uranium in defiance of international pressure, saying it needs the fuel for its civilian nuclear program. The West is convinced that Tehran's real objective is to build an atomic bomb – something which the Jewish state will never accept because its leaders consider a nuclear armed-Iran a threat to its very existence.
Adding to the international pressure, U.S. ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro said this week American military plans to strike Iran were "ready" and the option was "fully available".
The central role Iran plays in Netanyahu's deliberations is reflected in the huge map of the Middle East hanging by the door of his office. Israel lies on one edge, with Iran taking pride of place in the centre.
Experts say that within a few months, much of Iran's nuclear program will have been moved deep underground beneath the Fordow mountain, making a successful military strike much more difficult.
Yemeni troops kill 11 al-Qaida militants in south
By AHMED AL-HAJ
The Associated Press
SANAA, Yemen — Government troops killed 11 al-Qaida fighters in southern Yemen on Friday, as the army battled its way into the outskirts of a key town under the militants' control, military officials said.

(AP Photo, File)
Al-Qaida-linked fighters have taken over a swath of territory and several towns in the south over the past year, pushing out government forces and establishing their own rule. In recent weeks, the army has launched a concerted effort to uproot the militants from their strongholds — and is closely coordinating with a small contingent of U.S. troops who are helping guide the operations from inside Yemen.
On Friday, Yemeni troops moved in on Jaar in Abyan province, killing eight al-Qaida fighters in clashes about 10 kilometers (six miles) north of the town. Recapturing Jaar would better position the military to take back Zinjibar, the provincial capital that has been under al-Qaida control for more than a year.

Target Iran: America and Israel to Officially Unleash MEK Terrorist Cult
The Munafiqeen [Hypocrites] will be in the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper wilt thou find for them.
~ Sura 4 (An-Nisa), ayah 145, Qur'an
A couple of months ago, one of those dubious leaks made by "unnamed US officials" caught my eye. US media did something it doesn't often do; it publicised 'secret' Israeli government policy. Giving five minutes of prime time TV to Iranian scientist Mohammad Javad Larijani, brother of Ali Larijani, philosopher and chairman of the Parliament of Iran, two "senior U.S. officials" confirmed for NBC News what Mohammad Larijani was telling them: that Israel was behind the assassinations of Iranian scientists.
Specifically, the US officials stated that Israel's Mossad was financing, training and arming an Iranian dissident group that goes by many names, but which we'll call the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) for now. In return, the MEK is "providing Israel with information." Speaking through NBC, these unknown officials confirmed what Larijani and the Iranian government have been saying for years: that Israel, through the MEK, carried out the attacks in which motorcycle-borne assailants attached sophisticated magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims' cars. The US officials further stated that the Obama administration is aware of the assassination campaign but has no direct involvement.
No sooner had the story been leaked than a series of car bombings took place outside Israeli embassies in India, Georgia and Singapore. The same types of bombs used in the assassinations of Iranian scientists were used to blow up vehicles near Israeli diplomats. The Israelis never actually intended to kill any of their own, because the Mossad warned the embassies ahead of time. Israel of course blamed Iran for the bombings. But these stunts were clearly intended to deflect attention from the US government's confirmation that Israel is murdering Iranian scientists through its surrogate, the MEK, and, once again, portray Israel as the eternal victim.
The Obama administration may not have had direct involvement in the assassination of Iranian scientists, but it is the height of hypocrisy for the US government to pretend that it isn't involved in subverting Iran's civilian nuclear program. The CIA was kidnapping Iranian scientists and bribing them to 'defect' as recently as 2010 and as far back as 2007. Since at least 2005, the US regime has been up to its neck in dealings with multiple terrorist organisations based in countries encircling Iran, of which Jundullah, in the region of Balochistan on the Pakistani border, is arguably the most notorious.
Have a listen to this NBC commentary on the Israeli assassinations program 'leak' and take note of the 'expert view' at the end:

72-year-old Austin veteran is held at gunpoint, home seized because of underground bunker
By J. D. Heyes,
(NaturalNews) If ever there were an example of government adding insult to injury, this is it. What else could you call it when a city government fills in your underground bunker with concrete then bills you$90,000 to do it?Two years ago, Austin, Texas, resident Joe Del Rio awoke to find city officials demanding he let them in to inspect his home. Before it was all over, the local media reported, a police SWAT team and a host of firefighters had been called in as well.
Del Rio's crime? City officials had a problem with what they described as a "multi-level bunker-type space" under his home that supposedly held suspicious materials.
Detained and questioned for the next 10 hours, authorities eventually let Del Rio, then 70, go free. But over the course of the next few years, his case took some bizarre twists. For one, the city wound up billing him $90,000 for sending a small army of cement trucks to his home to fill in the bunker, saying such action was necessary and prudent in order to make his home "safe."

Critical Essays
P. D. James Mystery & Detective Fiction Analysis
Cover Her Face is the exception that proves the rule—the rule being, in this case, that P. D. James eschews the country weekend murders of her predecessors, with their leisure-class suspects who have little more to do than chat with the visiting sleuth and look guilty. Cover Her Face is set in a country house where a servant is murdered. The suspects are the inhabitants of the house and their guests from the city, who are attending an annual fete on the grounds. A detective from the outside, Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard, is called in to sort through the clues and solve the crime. This superficial description of the novel makes it sound very much like many an Agatha Christie story, and in her first book James may have felt more comfortable treading familiar literary ground. James has said, however, that comparisons of her to Christie are basically unwarranted. She likens herself more to Dorothy L. Sayers in the light of her greater interest in personality and motivation than in the crime puzzle itself.
James was from the very beginning a writer of great restraint. She almost never allows herself the luxury of self-indulgence. The old saw that first novels are largely autobiographical seems to apply to Cover Her Face in one detail only. The master of the house is bedfast, and his wife, daughter, and an old housekeeper have for a long time attended him lovingly and selflessly. James's own husband was an invalid for many...

WINNIPEG - The intimate details of a Manitoba judge's sex life are about to be presented in a very public forum � an inquiry to determine whether she should be removed from the bench.
Lori Douglas is facing four allegations that basically boil down to one question: Can a judge whose husband took explicit pictures of her and, without her knowledge, uploaded them to the Internet be penalized for the very existence of the photos?
According to one law professor, the answer should be no.
"Based on the information that I have, I think she's done nothing that should warrant her removal from the bench," said Karen Busby, a law professor at the University of Manitoba.
"It is troubling that a judge could be removed because she has been victimized by others or has participated in a common and lawful activity � even if that activity is disturbing to some."
A panel of the Canadian Judicial Council, which includes the chief justices of Alberta, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador, is investigating Douglas's behaviour before and after she was appointed to the bench in 2005. The panel is to hear opening arguments after some procedural matters are dealt with this morning.
The inquiry was launched after a man named Alexander Chapman filed a complaint in 2010 that he had been the subject of a strange sexual plan seven years earlier. He said his divorce lawyer, Jack King, had supplied him nude photos of King's wife, Douglas, and had asked him to have sex with her.
Douglas was a lawyer at the time. She was later appointed a judge and rose to the position of associate chief justice of the Manitoba Court of Queen's bench, heading up the family court division.
King admitted in March of last year that he solicited Chapman to have sex with his wife, supplied the photos and arranged two meetings at a bar between himself, Chapman and Douglas.
But King has said he acted without his wife's knowledge and all parties have agreed that Chapman never had sex with Douglas.
Later in 2003, King paid Chapman $25,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim. Part of the deal was that Chapman return the photos and not discuss the matter openly. But Chapman went public in 2010, saying he could not keep silent any longer and the photos reappeared on the Internet.
Douglas is facing four allegations:
� that she sexually harassed Chapman.
� that she failed to disclose the issue when she was screened for a judicial appointment in 2005.
� that she didn't fully disclose the facts to the independent counsel leading the inquiry.
� that she has undermined confidence in the justice system and her ability to act as a judge.
Douglas has denied all the allegations. Through her lawyer, she has told the panel she is the victim of "unimaginable betrayal" by her husband and a "despicable" scheme by Chapman.
She has also answered suggestions that she wasn't upfront about the matter when she was appointed to the bench by saying the appointments committee � as well as Manitoba's chief justice � were aware of the photos.
Public inquiries into judges are rare.The judicial council has held them nine times across the country in 40 years. It has only once recommended that a judge be removed.
In 2009, the council recommended to the federal government that Paul Cosgrove be removed as a justice of the Ontario Superior Court due to incompetence and abuse of his powers.
Douglas is not being questioned about her activities in the courtroom. It is her private life, as well as her dealings with the appointments committee and the inquiry's independent counsel, that will be under the microscope.
The hearing is expected to continue off and on until the end of July.

ESPN and Buster Olney have another crediting problem
News broke this afternoon that Andy Pettitte had decided to make a comeback in the majors, and that he had signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees. Jack Curry of the YES Network had it first, tweeting the news out at 12:30 PM. Note the timestamp on the tweet.
When ESPN reported the news, they gave the credit to their own reporter, Buster Olney. Olney's tweet about the signing went out at 12:36, six minutes later than Curry's tweet. In fact, before Olney even tweeted out his report, Curry had tweeted twice more about the signing.
Once Curry found out about the lack of credit, he went on a rampage, starting off by calling the lack of credit "shameless and embarrassing". As of 7:55 PM on Friday night, Curry had retweeted no less than 80 tweets from readers offering their support for his breaking of the story and shaming ESPN (and Olney) for a lack of credit.
This isn't the first time this has happened with ESPN...hell, it's not the first time it's happened with Olney. If Olney is indeed taking Curry's report, this practice is really disgusting from the "worldwide leader in sports" or the worldwide leader in not attributing credit. Your call. The shoe was on the other foot a week and a half ago, when Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network didn't credit Chris Mortensen for breaking the news of the Colts cutting Peyton Manning.
For his part, Olney sent out a response on Twitter Friday night defending his record and saying his work was independent of Curry...
So essentially, Olney is claiming credit for a story that was already broken because he was working on it too. I don't think it works that way. Do you have sympathy for Olney in this case or should he and ESPN be crediting Curry and YES for the Pettitte news?

Dean's Welcome
Hofstra University's Herbert School of Communication brings together students and faculty with different backgrounds, interests, and disciplines who share a common passion for the art and science of communication. Some are most interested in careers as practitioners of professions in the communications field, while others prefer to make the actions of such practitioners the subject of scholarly study. But all share a deep fascination with the central role of communication in our lives.
This is a tremendously exciting time to be in this field, as communication has never been more central to the overall functioning of society, and the forms of communication have been increasing and evolving with unprecedented speed. This makes our work all the more challenging and exciting. All around us we see constant change: in how people interact with other people, how companies communicate with customers (and vice versa), how politics is transforming under the pressure of new communications technology, and so forth.
The faculty and students wrestling with these issues do so in the school's three departments: the Department of Journalism, Media Studies, and Public Relations; the Department of Radio, Television and Film; and the Department of Rhetoric. Each department, and each area of concentration within each department, approaches these issues and challenges from a different perspective. Part of the richness of the program here arises from the many different approaches our faculty and students can use to discuss and study these matters. This diversity of perspectives promotes a lively dialog and a fruitful exchange of ideas. Theoretical perspectives are constantly tested against real-world practices, and the attainment of technical mastery is always tied to larger questions of intention and impact. This sort of interdisciplinary conversation is the best preparation for the rapidly changing world that lies around us, and that lies ahead.
Our work takes place in state-of-the art facilities, and the real-world experience students get here is enhanced by our close proximity to New York City, the nation's media center, where students regularly intern for top communications organizations as part of their Hofstra experience. Our distinguished faculty is encountered in small classes (our production classes, for example, are capped at 18), so students really get to know their instructors, and close attention is paid to the progress of each student.
One thing that the upheavals of the past decade or so have made clear is that there will be no lasting status quo in the world of communications in this century. Our job is to prepare our students, and ourselves, to live and work in a field of constant change. The enthusiasm with which our students and faculty are embracing these challenges is inspirational. I invite you to come and experience it in action.
Evan Cornog, Dean
Herbert School of Communication

Makarova, 72, is no stranger to the Kennedy Center. She won a Tony Award for best actress in a musical for the center's 1984 production of "On Your Toes."
Makarova said before the gala that she considers American ballet "fantastic," adding, "I think it will grow and grow. The interest will never stop."
The audience Sunday night will also feel the rhythm in performances honoring blues legend Buddy Guy. Born into a Louisiana sharecropper family, Guy eventually made Chicago his home at the peak of the blues era in the Windy City. And with his distinct guitar sound, the six-time Grammy Award winner helped pioneer the electric blues with other legends including Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.
"From picking cotton in the field to picking a guitar in the White House, that is a long ways man," Guy told reporters at the Kennedy Center.
The president called Guy "one of the last guardians of the great American blues."
And the stage will continue to rock in a tribute to John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant -- the three surviving members of the band Led Zeppelin. Famed drummer John Bonham passed away in 1980.
Having sold more than 100 million albums in the United States alone, the British band has churned out a number of classics, including "Whole Lotta Love," "Thank You," and the enduring song: "Stairway to Heaven."
Though thanking the group for "making us all feel young," Obama took the liberty of joking about the trio during his remarks in the East Room, noting how the group redefined "the rock and roll lifestyle."
"There were some hotel rooms trashed, mayhem all around," the president said. "So it is fitting that we are doing this in a room with windows three inches thick."
"So guys, settle down, these paintings are valuable," Obama joked.
Asked on the red carpet if part of him wanted to get on stage and join the tribute, Plant said, "Absolutely."
"I've always got a little bit of agitation in me," he continued. "That's what keeps me going. But I'm not going to show anybody how to do it."
The trio is scheduled to join fellow honoree Letterman on the "The Late Show" on Monday.
The Kennedy Center Honors will air December 26 on CBS.

Quilters' Haven
Quilters' Haven in Olathe, Kansas, boosts creativity by offering inspiration and education to quilters of all skill levels.
Crisp and Clean [1]
The interior of Quilters' Haven in Olathe, Kansas, boasts crisp white cabinetry and light tile floors. Owners Tom and Debbie Richards stock contemporary fabric and have myriad displays. "Everything about our shop is fresh and new," Debbie says.
Meet the Staff [2]
Front row, from left: Tom Richards (co-owner), Debbie Richards (co-owner); back row: Mary Maier, Linda Bentz, Emily Paton, Jan McBride, Bernice Duffy, Cathy Johnson, and Beth Ciani.
Many Machines [3]
Quilters' Haven sells short-, mid-, and long-arm quilting machines and offers mid- and long-arm quilting classes. At no extra charge, Tom repairs sewing machines for people who are homebound or in nursing homes.
Color Wheel [4]
The fabric collections and quilt samples are the stars at Quilters' Haven. Fat quarters are on display in pots and baskets, and a rainbow of bolts provide a colorful background.
Cards to Quilts [5]
Also on display are several patterns from Rob and Mary Stanphill of Willow Bay Designs. Rob uses his experience as an artist for Hallmark to create quilt designs. Safari Babies (left) and Pony Tales feature the cute, cartoonlike animals that have become the designer's staple.
Ruffled Edges [6]
A sweet jumper and purse are on display for the Folklorica collection for In The Beginning Fabrics. The ruffle jumper and pants Shoulder Tie Top are patterns by Indygo Junction.
Lotus Garden [7]
Quilters' Haven owner Debbie Richards and staff member Linda Bentz designed Lotus Gardens for Quilt Sampler magazine.
Softness in Hues [8]
The machine-quilting designs—soft floral shapes and straight lines—echo the piecework in Lotus Garden.
Lotus Garden Color Option [9]
Take the focus to the outer edges of the quilt by using bold, patterned florals from the Eclectic Garden collection by Jason Yenter for In the Beginning Fabrics [10].
Contact Quilters' Haven [11] to purchase a copy of the Spring/Summer 2010 issue of Quilt Sampler. Issues are also available at your local quilt shop, on newsstands, and online [12].
The Perfect Home [13]
Shop owner Joni Thomson and her mom opened Quilter's Haven in 1996. It is now in its third location, this one in Bountiful, Utah.
Exposed Brick Beauty [14]
Joni's husband, a contractor, had a vision for the current space. "It was a mess when we looked at it," Joni says, "but we saw the brick wall and said, 'We'll take it.'" Today the brick serves a background for quilts and vignettes.
Meet the Staff [15]
From left, front row: Rebecca Craven, Ruth Ann Hogan, Joni Thomson (owner), Britnie Thomson, Mary Anne Thomson, Catherine Timmons, and Linda Edminster; back row: Diane Erickson, Carla Gray, Carolyn Molyneux, Janice Jeppson, and Jan Child.
Bright Bags [16]
Bright, happy fabrics are not in short supply at Quilter's Haven. Joni recognizes that in addition to quilts, customers come in looking for ideas for bags, aprons, kids' clothes, and other fabric items, including pincushions, such as The Abbey Bag pincushion by Abbey Lane Quilts.
A Wide Variety [17]
Quilter's Haven exhibits a great selection of fabrics and patterns. Along with many bright quilting fabrics, the shop stocks Civil War reproduction fabrics, hand-dyed wool, embroidery supplies, and appliqué patterns. A sample Double Wedding Ring quilt hangs above some of the neutral fabric bolts in the shop.
Come Sail Away [18]
The Set Sail baby quilt illustrates the range of patterns and fabrics found at Quilter's Haven.
Crib Full of Cuties [19]
Fabric and pattern samples fill a crib in the shop. Smooth Sailing shows off a duck sailor while Abundantly Blessed drapes over the side.
Just a Little Retro [20]
A metal dress form in the shop gives shape to Retro Chic Apron by Bliss. Swing Bag by Amy Butler hangs from a fleur-de-lis-shape hook.
Easy & Breezy [21]
Though they may look pieced, the curved blocks on Easy & Breezy are appliquéd. Appliqué is the perfect shortcut for creating this standout spring wall hanging. Barbara Jones of QuiltSoup Pattern Co. and shop owner, Joni Thomson designed Easy & Breezy for Quilt Sampler magazine.
Rickrack Rules [22]
Circular and floral machine-quilting designs combine with rickrack and buttons to complement the curvy style of Easy & Breezy.

Caption contest: Tickle our funny bone!
9 October 2012 - 8:22pm
Caption contest: Tickle our funny bone!
Our entire staff was challenged with decorating Holiday World for Happy Halloween Weekends.
And lots of crews from all sorts of departments stepped up and created some cute, clever, hilarious and even creepy displays.
This one made me laugh enough that I took a picture (truth be told, I was sort of out of breath from hoofing all over the grounds, so the 10 seconds of rest was nice).
So now it's time for you to make me laugh, or to keep with the theme - tickle my funny bone!
So here's a quick Caption Contest - the winner will receive two one-day tickets to this year's Happy Halloween Weekends.
A few rules:
1. Must be 13 or older to enter.
2. Must not be an employee or immediate family member of Holiday World & Splashin' Safari.
3. Yes, you may enter more than once. Because you're just that witty, right? But five times per person is the limit. Really. And only one caption per posted Comment, please.
4. Deadline is this Friday at noon. That's 10/12/12 at 12 noon CDT. We'll notify the winner by email on Friday.
How to enter? Post your hilarious caption to the above photo as a Comment here on this HoliBlog post (we moderate our Comments, so don't go booo-listic when it doesn't show up right away, okay? As long as you don't go all naughty on us, we'll post your caption).
Good luck! And we hope you can join us, weekends in October, for Happy Halloween Weekends!

I am restoring a 1966 convertable and want to be as correct as possible. I am struggling to find a definitive source for correct factory coatings for various parts. For example, I have been told that the hood latch is chassis black but I believe that the latch portion was bare metal or coated metal. I have the same answers about hood hinges and springs.
Is there anywhere I can get correct information for this restoration?
Thanks Carlite65. I am new to the club and have been looking for MCA rules on the site but find only those relating to scoring ranges, classificaitons, etc with little detail. Where can I find a copy of the MCA rules you referred to?
Hi Paul and welcome to the club! A great source of knowledge is available at
There are some VERY knowledgable members on those sites. The SAAC forum site is more so for Shelbys but there are some experts on there for ALL mustangs regardless of what type.
Good Luck!
aka C7ZZ-F
Regional Director for Bluegrass Mustang Club
MCA Gold Card Judge 64 1/2-66
A followup question about the hood latch. As I see, there are three components to the assembly (1), the verticle sheet metal support that bolts to the body (2) the horizontal sheet metal into which the actual latch assembly bolts; this also secures the assembly to the body and (3) the actual latch assembly that includes the springs, latch, etc.
It is clear to me that the actual latch would be phosphate and oil but I am uncertain whether the support pieces (1 and 2) should also be phosphate and oil or semi-gloss black.
No longer recommend.
