Hijacker 'given anthrax flask by Iraqi agent' |
INTELLIGENCE agents from
Prague to Swansea are uncovering a trail of clues that point to President
Saddam Hussein of Iraq having a hand in al-Qaeda's terrorist missions.
Iraqi ministers have spent the week protesting Baghdad's innocence to the United Nations, but will not say why some of its diplomats who met Mohammed Atta, one of the suspected September 11 hijackers, disappeared from their European posts after that date. Nor will Baghdad explain why Saddam's agents were spotted at various times this year with Atta in Germany, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic. Many in the Pentagon are sure Saddam helped to orchestrate the simultaneous hijackings and the anthrax attacks, but President Bush and Tony Blair have yet to be convinced. To get proof of the Baghdad connection, senior officials in the Bush Administration even sent a former CIA Director to Britain on a covert mission. Intelligence officers in Washington have deliberately leaked the testimony of an Iraqi defector hiding in Turkey who said that Saddam set up a terrorist training school on the outskirts of Istanbul to practice hijacking a Boeing passenger aircraft. The CIA says that it is assessing the claims. Meanwhile, a special FBI team sent to Europe to uncover al-Qaeda cells say that they are studying a report from Prague that anthrax spores were given to Atta during his last meeting in Prague in April with Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani, the Iraqi consul. "If it can be shown that Atta was given a flask of anthrax," a Western intelligence official said, "then the link will have been made with Osama bin Laden and with Iraq." What is known is that Atta made at least four visits to the Czech Republic to see Mr al-Ani. Czech intelligence officers who saw them embrace at Ruzyne Airport admit that they had no idea who the man greeting Saddam's envoy was. When they were followed to the headquarters of Radio Free Europe the suspicion was that they may have been plotting to bomb it. Yesterday the German newspaper Bild suggested a more sinister motive for their meetings. The claim, according to Israeli security sources, is that Atta was handed a vacuum flask of anthrax by his Iraqi contact. From Prague, it is believed Atta flew to Newark. From New Jersey, letters laced with anthrax were sent to broadcasters and politicians in New York, Washington and Florida. Czech officials have been to Washington to reveal all they know, but they can't question the Iraqi envoy because Mr al-Ani was deported from Prague in April for "activities incompatible with his status as a diplomat". Stanislav Gross, the Czech Interior Minister, confirmed yesterday a meeting in Prague between Atta and Mr al-Ani just weeks before the envoy was expelled. US scientists believe the anthrax spores sent to Tom Daschle, the Senate Majority Leader, had been treated with a sophisticated chemical additive only three countries can manufacture: Russia, America and possibly Iraq. Former UN weapons inspectors suggest that Saddam could have helped bin Laden to get nuclear material. Critics of the Pentagon's view say that Iraq would not share its nuclear secrets, but might watch for others trying to buy on the black market. Italian police say they are investigating how Saddam also used his Embassy in Rome to foster his partnership with al-Qaeda. One of Saddam's intelligence agents, Habib Faris Abdullah al-Mamouri, was sent to be the new headmaster of a school for Iraqi diplomats in Italy. The bogus headmaster has not been seen in Rome since July, shortly after he also met Atta. The pair are also said to have been together in Hamburg and Prague. There is no proof the men were in direct contact, but as one intelligence source in Madrid said: "They chose a strange time and place to take a holiday." The Rome daily Il Messaggero, quoting Western intelligence sources, said of Mr al-Mamouri that "he spent more time pursuing contacts helpful to the Iraqi regime among fundamentalist Islamic groups than he had on his supposed teaching duties". Italian officials say that Mr al-Mamouri held the rank of general in the Iraqi secret service, and from 1982 to 1990 worked in the Special Operations Branch forging Baghdad's links with Islamic fundamentalist groups in Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Gulf and Sudan. He was transferred to his "teaching duties" in 1998, although all the Iraqi Embassy will say of his sudden departure is that "he had money problems". Although Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State, and others in his department are sceptical of Saddam's involvement, there are many influential figures in US intelligence who claim that Iraq's links with bin Laden go back to the early Nineties. Desperate for allies after the Gulf War, Saddam sent Faruq Hijazi, his secret service director, to Sudan in 1994, where bin Laden then had his headquarters. The meetings were brokered by Hassan al-Tourabi, the Sudanese Muslim leader, who was bin Laden's protector. The Sudanese belatedly offered to show the CIA all they knew about bin Laden and his visits, to ingratiate themselves back into the international fold, but the Americans scorned the approach. The Iraqi connection with bin Laden continued when the terrorist leader moved to Afghanistan. Mr Hijazi, who is now Saddam's envoy in Turkey, reportedly met the al-Qaeda leader at his fortified home in Kandahar and in Kabul. Mr Hijazi also disappeared from his embassy last month after the first reports of his meetings with al-Qaeda, and he is believed to have slipped back into Ankara earlier this week. The Foreign Ministry in Turkey says it has not been told that the Ambassador had returned, although the Iraqi Embassy says that he is "resting". What puzzles Turkish officials is that there are no airport records of his return. US Intelligence says Saddam cultivated the relationship with al-Qaeda at the start of 1998 by inviting the man regarded as bin Laden's deputy — Ayman Zawahiri — to dine with Taha Yasin Ramadan, the Iraqi Vice-President. That was such a success that a delegation from al-Qaeda attended Saddam's birthday celebrations that April, and it was during this trip that arrangements were made for bin Laden recruits to receive the sort of advanced weapons training they could not get in their camps in Afghanistan. The hand-picked bin Laden agents found themselves under the supervision of Saddam's violent son, Uday, who wanted to conscript some of bin Laden's skilled fighters into his own militia. Bin Laden reciprocated by dispatching "400 Afghan Arabs" to Iraq to fight Kurds. The most curious attempt to implicate Saddam was in South Wales last month when James Woolsey, the former CIA Director, is reported to have visited a Swansea college. The hope was that the testimony of college lecturers and recollections of former students could be used to convince sceptics in the US Administration and Downing Street that Saddam has helped to provide agents to carry out al-Qaeda attacks. Mr Woolsey, who refuses to give details of his British itinerary, has always believed that the Iraqi leader masterminded the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Centre. The trip to the Swansea Institute was to establish the true identity of one of bin Laden's bombers, who claims to have studied computer-aided engineering in South Wales.

ABCNEWS has been told by three well-placed and separate sources that initial tests on an anthrax-laced letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle have detected a troubling chemical additive that authorities consider their first significant clue yet.
An urgent series of tests conducted on the letter at Ft. Detrick, Md., and elsewhere discovered the anthrax spores were treated with bentonite, a substance that keeps the tiny particles floating in the air by preventing them from sticking together. The easier the particles are to inhale, the more deadly they are.
As far as is known, only one country, Iraq, has used bentonite to produce biological weapons.
Just minutes before ABCNEWS' World News Tonight aired this report, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer (news - web sites) flatly denied bentonite was found on the letters. Moments later, another senior White House official backed off Fleischer's comments, saying it does not appear to be bentonite "at this point."
The official said the Ft. Detrick findings represented an "opinionated analysis," that three other labs are conducting tests, and that one of those labs had contradicted the bentonite finding. But, the official added, "tests continue."
While it's possible countries other than Iraq may be using the additive, it is a trademark of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's biological weapons program.
"It means to me that Iraq becomes the prime suspect as the source of the anthrax used in these letters," former U.N. weapons inspector Timothy Trevan told ABCNEWS.
In the process of destroying much of Iraq's biological arsenal, U.N. teams first discovered Iraq was using bentonite, which is found in soil around the world, including the United States and Iraq.
"That discovery was proof positive of how they were using bentonite to make small particles," former U.N. weapons inspector Richard Spertzel told ABCNEWS.
But officials cautioned today that even if Iraq or renegade Iraqi scientists prove to be the source, it's a separate issue from who actually sent the anthrax through the mail.
"What you have to keep in mind is the difference between knowledge about what type of information you have to have to produce it, and who could have sent it," Fleischer said. "They are totally separate topics that could involve totally separate people. It could be the same person or people. It could be totally different people. The information does not apply to who sent it."
Experts say the bentonite discovery doesn't rule out a very well-equipped lab using the Iraqi technique. In fact, commercial spray dryers that Iraq used to produce its biological weapons were bought on the open market from the Danish subsidiary of a U.S. company for about $100,000 a piece.
Starting Thursday, FBI agents began asking company officials in Columbia, Md., if anyone suspicious in this country had recently acquired one of them. — Brian Ross, Christopher Isham, Chris Vlasto and Gary Matsumoto
Raising new questions about whether Saddam Hussein was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, officials in the Czech Republic now confirm for the first time that a key hijacker met with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague.
Czech Interior Minister Stanislav Gross said Mohamed Atta, believed by U.S. investigators to be a ringleader of the hijackers, met an Iraqi diplomat shortly before the consul was expelled after Czech intelligence officials saw him casing the Radio Free Europe building in the city.
"At this point we can confirm," Gross said, "Mohamed Atta made contact with Iraqi intelligence officer Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir Al-Ani, who was expelled from the Czech Republic for conduct incompatible with his diplomatic status on April 22, 2001."
"The details of this contact are under investigation," Gross said.
The meeting took place on Atta's second known visit to Prague. A year earlier, on June 2, 2000, he had came to Prague from Germany by bus in the morning hours. The next day, Gross said, Atta left for the United States.
Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz had previously denied Al-Ani had any contact with Atta in Prague. In recent weeks, Minister Gross also had said there was no evidence to support Prague media reports citing Czech intelligence officials who said Atta had met Al-Ani.
The meeting, along with Iraq's stockpiles of biological weapons, have led some to question whether Atta — and Hussein — were not somehow behind the anthrax attacks in the United States.
"There are reports that one of the things that may have happened at that meeting was that [Atta] was given by the Iraqi some sample of anthrax," former U.N. weapons inspector Richard Butler told ABCNEWS. "We do not know if that is true. I believe it is something that should be investigated."
For his part, Gross would not give further details on the Atta meeting.
"At this point, neither I nor anyone else from the police or Czech intelligence services will provide any further information concerning this contact and [Atta's] stay and movement on the territory of the Czech Republic until the investigation is finished," he said.

I think I've got it...
Saddam Hussein is actually an American right-wing hate group extremist, operating under very, very 'deep cover'.
That explains why Saddam Hussein, and Cletus Funderberg have never been seen in the same room together.
Those in the know will recognize Cletus as the proprietor of the 'Bait & Beer' stand in Mississippi who mysteriously disappeared at about the same time that Saddam Hussein took power in Iraq.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the hijackers weren't actually 'good ole boys' from the south (and maybe the west) who first went to the middle east, to learn to be arabs, before returning home, to learn to be pilots!
It's all starting to come clear...

When and not if, irrefutable evidence can be produced that Iraq was compliant or helped orchestrate the ongoing terror attacks against the USA, there can be only one response.
Biological warfare must be cauterized. Give Iraq and the world 6 days to evacuate Baghdad and then nuke that hellhole of Satan worshipers. Fusion weapons have never been deployed in war.
Their use in this instance will ensure that they will not be needed

Thanks for the post. In case you haven't seen this, there is good background information on Atta and his travels here:
A Fanatic's Quiet Path to Terror
Here's a little:
By May 2000, his new Egyptian passport containing a U.S. visa obtained in Berlin, the beard he grew for religious reasons shaved off, and flush with money beyond his known means, Atta was ready to move.
He traveled to Prague in the Czech Republic in early June and 24 hours later took a flight to Newark. In the next year, he learned how to fly aircraft in Florida. But during this period, he returned to Europe twice.
The first time was in January 2001 when he flew from Miami to Madrid. He returned to the United States six days later, apparently with a new visa despite having overstayed by one month on his previous trip. On July 7 he flew to Spain again for 12 days, renting a car and visiting the northeastern Catalan resort of Salou. Spanish press reports say he left the hotel where he first checked in, trading it for a more modest hostel, whose room he inspected before deciding to stay.
Atta flew back to the United States on July 19. His time in Europe was over.

There's a slight problem with this story.
Iraqi intelligence were to take the risk of providing a weapon of mass
destruction like Anthrax,
which is traceable, to Mohammed Atta and Osama bin Laden's U.S. terrorist cell,
why would an agent only provide a "flask" of the super lethal
Also, let's bear in mind that Czech intelligence is basically
former KGB.
What we have here is U.S. intelligence effectively being
told by the KGB-of-old: 'The Anthrax attacks in the U.S.
are the handiwork of Iraq and the Al Qaeda terrorists responsible for the 9/11
attacks. Furthermore, feel free to go after Iraq without major risk because only
a "flask" of Anthrax was provided to the
Iraqi terror cell operating in the U.S.'
Problem is, Iraq works for
Moscow and Russia is still planning to take us out.
Iraq has tons of Anthrax spores like Senator
Daschle's office received. Entire boat loads of the stuff could easily have been
shipped into the U.S. (America has thousands of tons of another white powder
covertly imported every year, cocaine....what's a few hundred pounds of Anthrax?!) If Iraq was
seeking to get Anthrax
into the U.S. for domestic terrorism, they wouldn't slip in just a flask of the stuff that,
upon use, would quickly be attributed to Baghdad.
We're being duped into an attempt to overthrow Saddam Hussein's
Iraqi regime and this, in turn, will provide Iraq the excuse he needs to unleash
a true, all-out Jihad against Israel, America and the Western powers involving
widespread, large-scale attacks using weapons of mass destruction like Anthrax. Once the West is
debilitated and with America wrongly focusing on Osama bin Laden and Saddam
Hussein for the erupting holocaust, Russia can unleash an all-out, strategic
nuclear blow against Israel, America and the Western powers. As Soviet military
planners foresaw so long ago....this is their checkmate move in seeking to
dominate the world in the global chess game of Real Politik...

Great thinking. That's reason #1 of why we won't go there. Secondly, if it
takes us this protracted time to get bin Laden how long would it be in Iraq.
Thirdly. if we do not close the boarders & sent the student visa persons
home then we are not interested in protecting us. Americans are going to have to
insist on getting the enemy out of this country by sending most of these
socialists dems to their retirement. THE ENEMY IS WITHIN.

The problem with your scenario is that MAD still exists, and would not be
taken out by the sort of attacks that you envision. Even though our nuclear
posture has been tremendously relaxed, there is still enough to destroy anyone
employing a strategic nuclear attack.

Hummingbirds are some of the most intriguing birds in the Western Hemisphere, but they're so tiny and move so quickly – how can you get a good close look? Getting good looks at hummingbirds is critical for proper identification and appreciating the very fine details of these delicate birds, and it's not as difficult as many birders believe to see hummingbirds up close and personal.
Equipment for Viewing Hummingbirds
Having the proper equipment is essential to see the fine details and amazing colors of hummingbirds. Birding binoculars should have 7-8 times magnification; optics with a magnification up to 10 can be useful, but the higher the magnification, the steadier they must be held to minimize shaking that can be accentuated at higher magnifications. A spotting scope can be useful for seeing hummingbirds up close if it can be focused on a perch or favored feeding area, because these territorial birds often return to the same spot repeatedly, which can provide predictable and excellent views.
Where to See Hummingbirds Up Close
Visiting the proper hummingbird habitats is the best way to find these birds for exceptional views. Hummingbirds can be found in a wide range of habitats, from forests to meadows to deserts, and birders who understand which hummingbirds are found where can more easily position themselves for the best views.
Of course, some of the best hummingbird viewing can be done right in the backyard. Setting up a hummingbird feeding station with an unobstructed view can lead to exceptional looks at these tiny birds, and adding hummingbird flowers and open perches is another way to ensure these birds can be easily seen.
Bringing Hummingbirds Even Closer
Defining "close" for a hummingbird is a lot different than a close view of a duck or raptor. Large birds can be easily seen when they may still be dozens of feet away, but hummingbirds are so tiny (many hummingbird species are less than five inches long) that they need to be much closer for a detailed view. Ideally, seeing hummingbirds from just a few feet away will offer the best views. The best distance is often 8-12 feet away, which is within the minimum focusing distance of good binoculars. This allows the birds to be close but also still be seen through binoculars, bringing them even closer.
Birders who want to bring hummingbirds closer for a better view can try several tactics, including:
- Attracting hummingbirds with reliable, fresh, nutritious food sources, including pesticide-free yards, appropriate hummingbird nectar feeders, nectar-rich flowers and other foods for hummingbirds. Hummingbirds have excellent geographic memories and will easily remember where food is available, returning to the same feeding areas year after year.
- Positioning hummingbird feeders very close to a window, or opting for feeders that can attach directly to a window, such as the Window Watch Feeder or the Window Mount Feeder. Whenever feeders are near windows, however, it is important to take steps to prevent bird window collisions – even an impact that may seem gentle can be fatal to a bird as small as a hummingbird.
- Trimming hummingbird flowerbeds to remove blooms, stems, branches or leaves that may be obstructing views from different angles. Removing additional blooms from the backs of plants can also encourage hummingbirds to visit flowers in the front that offer the best views.
- Learning how to photograph hummingbirds with good camera equipment that will allow zoom views. This can allow excellent views of hummingbirds without needing to get as physically close to the birds. A high optical zoom and fast shutter speed are the best technical features of a camera needed for photographing hummingbirds.
Using Your Views
Once you have good, close views of hummingbirds, what do you do with those views? For many birders, the point of getting good views of hummingbirds is to facilitate identification. Learning how to identify hummingbirds means noting many tiny details of these already tiny birds, including their overall colors in different types of light, whether tail tips have white dots, bill shapes, gorget shapes and tail motions while flying and feeding. A good view can help you be more confident with your hummingbird identification, and what's more, close, intimate views can show you amazing hummingbird details, behaviors and actions that would be impossible to see at a greater distance. Licking tongues, delicate blinks and gorget feather structure can all be revealed from close, detailed hummingbird views.
Hummingbirds are charming and intriguing, and by getting better, closer views of these birds, it is possible to learn even more about these amazing birds and appreciate their intricacy and diversity.

The seeds for New Zealand's Red Witch pedals were sown when founder Ben Fulton's girlfriend bought him a Holden 50-watt amp head in need of work. The repairs, as well as the need for some effects to put in front of the amp when it was healthy again, prompted a fascination with preamp, amp-modulation, and pitch-modu-lation circuits that led to his first effect—the Moon Phaser. The project was originally intended for Fulton's personal use, but his friends dug the little pedal and the requests started coming in so fast that a business was born.
Today, Red Witch's line includes the DeluxeMoon Phaser, the Pentavocal Trem, theEmpress Chorus, the Fuzz God II, theFamulus Distortion, and the Titan Delay.The motivation behind each of these ped-als is the same that guided the design ofthe first Moon Phaser: "The boutique pedalscene was much smaller eight or nine yearsago, and there were a lot of guys buildingclones of classic, out-of-production ped-als," says Fulton, recalling the early daysof Red Witch. "There were a lot less folksdoing new or innovative stuff. I've neverhad any interest in copying or cloning otherpeople's designs. Manufacturing anything—your own idea or someone else's—is ahuge amount of work. So I figured from theoutset that I'd prefer to put my time andenergy into something that was unique, dif-ferent, and, most importantly, my own."Though he was eager to carve out his ownniche, Fulton knew what sounds he liked onrecord. Not surprisingly, Fulton's list of sonicinfluences was broad and varied, rangingfrom experimental Japanese guitar expres-sionist Keiji Haino to pioneers like JimmyPage and Mick Ronson—players that, asFulton put it, had "a purity of expression.""Page's palate has had an influence,"Fulton says. "The range of tones that hegot with guitar, amp, and pedal combina-tions in the studio is staggering—layerupon layer of guitar parts, each with aslightly different treatment. Beautiful."Another Brit was also a huge influence onFulton's sonic philosophy. "I loved AlvinLee's guitar sound, that blistering playingin the late '60s—very clear and articulate.I guess with our Fuzz God II and Famulusdistortion, I really strived to get that clear,punchy sound happening. No additionalfrequencies, nothing that would allow theguitar to get muddy in the mix."Fulton's interest in not just the spe-cific pedal tones but the overall playingapproach of the greats keeps him fromobsessing over emulation, which meanshe can focus on the flavors that makehis pedals different. It also means he canrefine them to the point of being practical

Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Yes, but it is really a late spring / early summer event and open to all network carriers. It is the CTIA Wireless trade expo in New Orleans. Should be in early May. I am giving Verizon one last chance to announce something worth waiting for. They are listed as an exhibitor for CTIA.
Yeah. It would. But if they are going to announce anything worth holding out for, they better announce it by the CTIA convention. But you know, even if I left Verizon a few months from now, there are two other networks in my region with exactly the same (maybe even better) coverage. I guess what I am saying is that if I switched, I could live with the switch better than waiting and hoping Verizon will come through with something for another year (I have been waiting a year to upgrade on Verizon). I guess I am just frustrated.
EDIT @Synycalwon : I guess I was writing my post while you were posting. Sorry.Last edited by k6tcher; 04-07-2012 at 02:45 PM. Reason: To say sorry. ;^P
Just wondering......
As I've mentioned before, I'm not in the wireless industry but I think I have a sense for how corporate people think.
My bet is most customers like what they see with the HTC One S and the One X and wish that they could just buy them regardless of carrier. This seems to be what HTC wants too since it would allow them to build the "One" brand.
That said, the carriers don't care what HTC wants and they're convinced their customers are so dumb that when it comes time to replace their old phone they'll look for a new phone that has the same name. That might explain why Sprint walked away from the One X so they could have an EVO LTE instead.
If that's the case, then my bet is Verizon will re-brand the One S as the next Droid Incredible and they'll re-brand the One X as the next Thunderbolt. Like Sprint, Verizon will likely have HTC make minor changes to make their phones different from the One S and the One X.
I bet Verizon has a lot of Thunderbolt customers who are not ready for an upgrade yet.... It may be a long wait for the Verizon version of the One X. - 04-08-2012, 08:34 PM #29
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Sprint Evo 4G user here and considering the switch to Verizon as they have better coverage in my area, and more importantly, working LTE.
But of course Sprint once again has the best Android phones. Nexus is already outdated (Sprint will have it soon as well) and who knows when something comparable to 4GLTE or the GSIII will even come to VZW.
Coverage is important but so is the device. - 04-10-2012, 05:39 PM #31

Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
I am also still on my thunderbolt and its better than ever with custom roms, my thunderbolt is good enough to keep me waiting for verizons next high end phone, personally none of the phones on verizon now are much better than the tbolt, I will paitently wait for HTC and Samsungs next flagships to come out (i dont care much for moto) and will battle them out to see whats better, its most likely not that far away!
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Disagree - Coverage is #1 BY A LARGE MARGIN. It doesn't do you much good to have a kick **** phone (look at all the Sprint WIMAX phones that were basically 3G). I am on VZW for the coverage and I'll find the best phone for my needs on that carrier. I'm in a rural area and just bought (6 mos ago) a Dinc 2 because I don't expect to have LTE until 2013 at the earliest and I also want to wait for 28 nm chipsets (which the new S4 from Qualcomm has) to get better battery life. You won't see Tegra anything and LTE on any US phone because they don't work well. That is why the ATT One X will have an S4 (not Tegra 3). Anyone who thinks they NEED quad core on a phone is really getting way too caught up in specs. NOW, if you talking Quad Core and Gaming on a 1080P tablet (like the Transformer Infinity) that's a different story.
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
I wish you well on ATT. Also, if you travel much then TMO or Sprint are pretty much non-starters - I don't care how PRETTY their phones are. I have actually had great customer service on Verizon (never more than a couple of minutes on hold, always speak English) and are always pleasant and respectful. There are a very few areas of the country where Verizon has poor coverage BUT they are few and far between. Network coverage is #1 and if I have to wait a few months for a higher end phone to reach Verizon so be it. I've usually managed to make my phones last 2+ years and right now I'm quite happy with my single core, WVGA, 4", 3G Dinc 2 that will be getting ICS in the next few months. I do think by the end of the year I'm going to be tempted by some of the new dual core LTE phones with a qHD or 720P display. I'm still not interested in anything larger than 4.3" (with actually still liking the feel of 4.0"). If the One S comes to VZW (Incredible 4G April 26) that looks awfully tempting and by the fall it should be available at a decent price (say less than $100). JMHO/YMMMV.
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Since this thread is about Verizon's lack of announcing high-end phones, I think your statement nailed it.
I agree an adequate network is important... and almost everyone on this thread assumes Verizon to be the best (not always true). However, why switch to Verizon RIGHT NOW when their lineup is as sad as it is? You are better off waiting to switch to Verizon AFTER they finally announce a high-end, up-to-date spec'd phone.
Those of us on Verizon who care about a phone that will be "future proof" are waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting on them to announce a phone worth spending over $1500 on (2-year contract price). What good does it do you to stay/switch to Verizon if you have buyer's remorse on your phone purchase? And, YES, most us do care about specs in our next phone or the ones replying in this thread wouldn't even care to read this thread would they?
I would say phone selection is EQUALLY as important as the network you use. If it is all about the network, and only the network, then get a dumbphone and save $$$... since that is what you are most concerned about anyway... a working phone. If the network AND phone matter equally, you are likely to be concerned about Verizon's current pitiful lineup and lack of announcements. - 04-11-2012, 05:56 AM #38
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
I hope you find the device that suits your needs and desires on Verizon. I have been waiting for a year to upgrade. And if I stick with Verizon, seems like my total wait time will be about 1 1/2 years since my upgrade went live.
I do not travel. The area I live in has BETTER coverage with AT&T and I know I am in the minority on this forum. But that doesn't change the fact that Verizon's network (for me) is second rate to AT&T. The sad part is, it use to always NEVER be like this.
Verizon's customer service has not been bad, but not good. I have to drive an hour to get to their closest corporate store for assistance. I have always felt like just a number and a $ (dollar sign) to them. When I briefly switched to AT&T for the Note, they let me have it for $150 and threw in the Microcell tower for $50. I saved $300 on those two purchases alone. Verizon has NEVER offered me a deal or a discount other than the contractual ones I have agreed to and I have been with them for over 12 years.
Am I a Verizon "hater?" not exactly, but I sure am not in love with them anymore.
Also, there is state funding coming to my area for 4G network expansion... guess which network gets the funds in my area? The one who owns the physical towers.... AT&T. My area will not have 4G with Verizon (if ever) for well past their self imposed 2013-14 deadline. - 04-11-2012, 05:50 PM #39
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
So the current phones verizon has can't do the exact same things that these "better phones" on other networks can do? What exactly other than maybe gaming can these other phones do better than the phones currently on verizon? load web pages faster? doubt it especially with lte, maybe is .0005 sec quicker when opening an app? To me it seems like unless you have something to come back with that the current phones can't do you just are ing. Plus you said at&t has better phones yet you won't switch just come on here and complain??? SO what can't verizon's "lackluster, pitiful" phones do?
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
If you would stop personally attacking people on this forum and actually read the posts they have made that you replied in, you would have read where I said I am still on contract with Verizon. I did switch to at&t but had to cancel because I suddenly couldn't afford the two bills. I also said that in about a year (after my wife's Verizon contract is up) I am 95% sure I will switch. But instead of reading what I have posted (not just this thread but several other threads as well), you prefer to personally attack when my comments have been TOPIC related and never personally disparaging to another poster on this forum. Once again, I am refering to several threads where you have done this. You are the first on this forum to actually be rude, disrespectful, and just plain ugly in your demeanor and tackless postings to me.

Not "people" attacking me. . . just YOU. . . in multiple threads.
There are multiple reasons I have ALREADY stated, in several threads YOU have already posted in, as to why the current selection on Verizon is unsuitable to myself and many more. Re-read, friend.
And with that, I am done with you sir, good day. I said, "GOOD DAY!" - 04-11-2012, 08:33 PM #44
I'm going to assume this problem has resolved itself. But for the future: enough with the fighting/unproductive arguing. I'll be sure to keep a look out for those "other threads" that were mentioned.

Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
Because my wife still has a year left on her Verizon contract. Something came up and I couldn't afford the two bills I had when I briefly had the Note on AT&T, so I had to cancel with AT&T. I am holding out little hope that Verizon would come through for a change with a phone like the Note or OneX or maybe the SGSIII. But I am afraid it is a pipe dream.
Re: So why no High-End phones being announced from VZW?
What good is a high end phone if you dont have the power to use it. I am on a droid bionic but i dont have 4g or wont be getting in my area for 2yrs. So when 4g goes down (alot) im stuck. Even in my 3g area. This is crap. So now vzn is getting rid of 3g phones. Time to switch?

Sex, Love & Secrets [TV Series]
This hour-long UPN drama series was originally titled Sex, Lies & Secrets, but the producers opted to emphasize the more positive aspects of life in a tightly knit community in L.A.'s Silver Lake district. Among the gorgeous twentysomethings populating the area was Charlie (Eric Balfour), a conniving, womanizing hairdresser; Jolene (Denise Richards), resident "hot babe" and scheming publicist; Hank (James Stevenson), hunky lead singer for the punk band Modern Apes; Rose (Lauren German), rising celebrity journalist and Hank's lover (provided Jolene didn't steal him away from her); Nina (Tamara Taylor), a love-starved, workaholic ob-gyn; Milo (Lucas Bryant), the mysterious and mercurial boyfriend whom Nina met online; and Coop (Omar Miller), Modern Apes' perennially unlucky-in-love drummer. Sex, Love & Secrets was first telecast September 27, 2005. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lost: Special
Walt's father, Michael (Harold Perrineau), is very unhappy with the close friendship that is developing between the somewhat creepy survivalist Locke (Terry O'Quinn) and Walt, and tries to put an end to it. And, once again, a ferocious animal that is unfit for tropical climates makes an appearance in the jungle...this time attacking young Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) when he runs off on his own after yet another disagreement with Michael. Flashbacks in this episode give insight into the strained relationship between Michael and Walt -- and indicate that there may be something "different" about the boy. In other events on the island, Shannon (Maggie Grace) finally starts to use her knowledge of French to help Sayid (Naveen Andrews), and Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) wants to know much, much more about the still-missing Claire (Emilie de Ravin). ~ Rovi

A woman has to learn how to love and trust men all over again in this comedy drama. Helen McCarter (Kimberly Elise) would seem to have it all -- she's been married for 18 years to Charles (Steve Harris), and over the course of their time together, he's become one of Atlanta's most successful attorneys. But despite wealth and prestige, things are not as they should be at the McCarter home, and on their anniversary, Charles drops a bombshell on Helen -- he's divorcing her for another woman. Escorted out of the house with nowhere to go, Helen moves in with her grandmother Madea (Tyler Perry), a sassy woman with no shortage of opinions and a gun that she's not afraid to use. As Madea helps Helen get back on her feet emotionally, the divorcée makes the acquaintance of Orlando (Shemar Moore), a handsome man who is obviously attracted to her. But after her experiences with Charles, Helen isn't sure if she's ready to trust a man again. Diary of a Mad Black Woman was adapted from the popular stage play by Tyler Perry, who also plays several roles in the film, most prominently Madea; it marked the first feature-film credit for successful music video director Darren R. Grant. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Hidden Hills [TV Series]
Dismissed by one critic as "John Updike for dummies," the NBC dramedy Hidden Hills was set in the real-life gated suburban Los Angeles community of the same name. Essentially, the series wondered aloud if it was possible for married couples and/or parents to maintain the "traditional" family unit while being bombarded from all sides by the laissez-faire sensitivities of the 21st century. Among the recurring characters was Doug Barber (Justin Louis), whose efforts to be a worthwhile husband to spouse Janine (Paula Marshall) were compromised by the arrival of Hidden Hills' sexy new softball coach Belinda Slypich (Kristin Bauer), who ran her own X-rated website. On several occasions, Doug's sexual fantasies "came to life" for the benefit of the viewer, giving the hero ample opportunity to lust in his heart. Other stories concerned the trials and tribulations of the Barbers' "Buppie" neighbors, Zack and Sarah Timmerman (Dondre T. Whitfield, Tamara Taylor). Hidden Hills premiered September 24, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dorothy Dandridge was a singer, nightclub entertainer, and actress who became the first African-American woman to receive an Academy award nomination as Best Actress (for her standout performance in 1954's Carmen Jones; she lost to Grace Kelly). However, despite her striking beauty and obvious talent, Dandridge was a sexy, glamorous black
femme fatale
at a time when Hollywood pin-up queens were supposed to be giggly blondes. The film industry didn't know what to do with her, and while her nightclub act was a bit too smooth for the Southern roadhouse circuit, as a black performer she wasn't allowed to stay in many of the hotels and resorts where she performed. Dandridge also had a sad personal life, filled with tragedy and romantic disappointment, and she died of an overdose of pills in 1965, at the age of 41. This made-for-cable biographical drama stars Halle Berry as Dorothy Dandridge, supported by Brent Spiner, Obba Babatunde, and Klaus Maria Brandauer. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Party of Five: Intervention
The unusually stark and somber opening credits indicate that this is going to be a particularly powerful and hard-hitting episode. Finally coming to the realization that Bailey's drinking is completely out of control, the rest of the Salinger family, backed up by Grace (Tamara Taylor) and Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt), decide that it is time for showdown. Despite their combined efforts, Bailey (Scott Wolf) not only refuses to join Alcoholics Anonymous, but he also insists that he doesn't have a problem--and when they press the issue, he lets loose a devastating barrage of cruel and hateful counter-accusations. With no other option, the family gives Bailey an ultimatum: either shape up, or ship out...permanently. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Party of Five: Personal Demons
With this episode, Alexondra Lee becomes a series regular in the role of Callie Martel, the flamboyant roommate of college freshman Bailey Salinger (Scott Wolf). Though Bailey has sworn to be faithful to girlfriend Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Callie proves to be a temptation too strong to resist. Ultimately, a guilt-ridden Bailey makes a fool of himself at Sarah's Halloween party, whereupon he drowns his sorrows in beer (a grim portent of things to come). Elsewhere, Bailey's older brother Charlie, still bitter over the departure of his ex-fiancee Kirsten, is in no mood to deal with bleeding-heart activist Grace Wilcox (Tamara Taylor in her first series appearance), who all but demands that he tithe a goodly portion of the restaurant's profits to her new program for the homeless. But while he says no to Grace, Charlie says "yes" to his late father's old friend Earl Garraty (Kenneth Mars), who is in dire need of a job. Back at the Salinger household, Claudia (Lacey Chabert) is so convinced that her family is "cursed" that she calls in an exorcist; and Julia (Neve Campbell) spitefully tries to break up her ex-beau Justin's new romance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

And after expressing outrage when the man repairing her roof offers her marijuana, Julia (Neve Campbell)is lovestruck by the pot-smoker's cute brother Sam (Ben Browder in his first series appearance). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In another romantic development, Julia (Neve Campbell) continues her pursuit of handsome contractor Sam (Ben Browder). Finally, while seeking material for her school-paper advice column, Claudia (Lacey Chabert) comes to the literally sobering conclusion that Bailey's drinking has gone far beyond the recreational stage. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Elsewhere, Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt) persists in seeking out a boyfriend for Callie (Alexondra Lee), even as Bailey (Scott Wolf) tries to get over Callie for Sarah's sake.

Decentralized Matching with Aligned PreferencesMuriel Niederle, Leeat Yariv
NBER Working Paper No. 14840 We study a simple model of a decentralized market game in which firms make directed offers to workers. We focus on markets in which agents have aligned preferences. When agents have complete information or when there are no frictions in the economy, there exists an equilibrium that yields the stable match. In the presence of market frictions and preference uncertainty, harsher assumptions on the richness of the economy have to be made in order for decentralized markets to generate stable outcomes in equilibrium.

text: The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II with the primary goal of responding to the appeal from Byzantine Emperor Alexius I. The Emperor requested that western volunteers come to their aid and repel the Seljuk Turks from Anatolia, modern day Turkey. An additional goal soon became the principal objective - the Christian reconquest of the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land and the freeing of the Eastern Christians from Islamic rule. Both knights and peasants from many nations of Western Europe travelled over land and by sea towards Jerusalem and captured the city in July 1099, establishing the Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Tripoli, the Principality of Antioch and the County of Edessa. Although these gains lasted for less than two hundred years, the First Crusade was part of the Christian response to the Islamic conquests, as well as the first major step towards reopening international trade in the West since the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

On March 30, 1969, President Richard M. Nixon eulogized former President Dwight D. Eisenhower at "truly, the first citizen of the world." While some people today might see this as an insult, it was an honor. Eisenhower had tried to use American power and influence to make the world a better place. Why? Because he saw it as his duty. Nixon, despite his flaws, recognized that Eisenhower was a contrast to the isolationists that existed then -- and still now -- in the United States. It is inconceivable that someone in the 21st century would imply that Dwight D. Eisenhower wasn't a proud American. We are citizens of the world when we believe, as Eisenhower did, that we have a responsibility to it. To castigate educators and others for not promoting that aspect of our history, and then castigate them again for encouraging students to recognized their important place in the world as American citizens, is perplexing.
Today's rethuglicans wouldn't recognize Reagan as "conservative", let alone Eisenhower, who fired a general he had gone through WWII with, for "manifest destiny" John Birch society imperialism...today's manifest destiny neocons...
..then Eisenhower warned of "military-industrial complex"...which constitutes "manifest destiny" by both Birchers and bushcheney neocons...nice thing about history-it's undeniable...unless you're a neocon...
"Manifest Destiny was always a general notion rather than a specific policy. The term combined a belief in expansionism with other popular ideas of the era, including American exceptionalism and Romantic nationalism. While many writers focus primarily upon American expansionism when discussing Manifest Destiny, others see in the term a broader expression of a belief in America's "mission" in the world, which has meant different things to different people over the years."
...and has evolved into "Project For A New American Century" neocons:

Regardless of the place/girl it's ALWAYS YMMV. Maybe she caught a bad vibe, maybe they were recently busted, maybe she just plain didn't like you. Whatever the reason, don't take it personally. It's all a game.

Exactly just because someone gets a service level does not automatically mean the rest of the customers will get it. YMMV is always right. It ultimately is up to the girl who she does what with. 100% of the time if they are not comfortable with you nothing is going to happen. Your only job in the spa is to make her feel at ease, if you can do that ultimately you will be rewarded. Maybe not the 1st time but eventually. If she is not at ease or comfortable with you, you will always get just a massage.

This may be the right kind of hybrid between chain hotel and fancier resort -- not as lush as the latter but not anywhere near as expensive, either, with far more personal detail and indulgent touches than you can find at chains. It's another all-suite hotel, and another where "suite" really means "very big room." The rooms aren't memorable, just like the chain rooms, but they are smart enough that you won't get depressed like you might when you see some of the rooms in similarly priced hotels. The large complex (27 acres, complete with a winding pool) isn't so much Italian as it is vaguely evocative of the idea of Italian architecture, but it, too, is more stylish than most of the chains in town. And, unlike those other chains, this one comes with a large casino, roped off in such a way that this is still an appropriate place for families who want the best of all worlds (price, looks, family-friendly atmosphere, and gambling), especially as each room has a separate dining area, a kitchenette, and large TVs, plus convertible couches, on request. While the kids play, there is a large soaking tub for their folks to relax in. There's a good Italian restaurant on the premises, plus a lounge.

"Understanding is the best route to forgiveness. Remember that we are all human, we all have fears, we all make mistakes. When in doubt, be kind."
Dan O'Donnell
"Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes."

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving."
Dale Carnegie
"When your Achievements Start to Glow Criticisms will start to flow, it's a sign where you have reached beyond your social limitation"

"Fear of the unknown comes before understanding but wanting to know is followed by wisdom."
"Actions and words Part 1: Does actions really speak louder then words? Lot of people believe it true. If you are one of them, then let me ask you this, which is more powerful? The pen or the sword? The mentally or the physically? How did we get past 200,000 years of hardship and become what we are today?"
J C A Rowe
"Actions and words Part 2: With spears and fire? I think not, let be honest, communication has always been an equal with actions, it a fact. No action can be done by own strength alone, unless words can help in the form of understanding. Sometimes, we need both understanding and strength to unlock potential of our own."

PASADENA, TX (March 8, 2011) – KiOR, Inc., announced today that it has signed an offtake agreement with Hunt Refining Company, who has agreed to purchase renewable gasoline and diesel blendstocks and fuel oil produced at KiOR's first commercial facility to be located in Columbus, MS. In addition to the offtake of renewable fuel blendstocks, the two companies have agreed to collaborate on information and resources aimed at optimizing the performance of their products and services. The agreement requires the parties mutually to determine fuel product specifications and contains other terms and conditions.
"Today's announcement is an important milestone for the development of our commercial facilities in Mississippi, and furthers KiOR's progress towards the commercialization of gasoline and diesel blendstocks from renewable crude," said Fred Cannon, President and CEO of KiOR. "We're excited to partner with Hunt to bring our renewable fuels to market and begin reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil while creating quality jobs and economic development throughout the State of Mississippi."
"The offtake of KiOR's renewable gasoline and diesel blendstocks will help us to meet the needs of the nation's Renewable Fuel Standard," said Shanmuk Sharma, President of Hunt Refining Company. "We're excited to be working alongside KiOR to help make a meaningful and near-term contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a boost to rural economies."

February's polls are February's polls. However, I have picked up a little trend that may be significant.
McCain continues to lead Clinton. The RCP average is McCain plus 4. The current Gallup is great news for McCain: McCain 50, Clinton 46
McCain has now led Obama in the last two polls. The RCP average is Obama plus 3, or a margin of error result. Yet, Rasmussen has McCain up by 4 and Gallup has McCain up too: McCain 48, Obama 47
What this means is that McCain is gaining on Clinton and Obama.
Also, do not underestimate the impact of The NY Times story. It has energized Republicans and angered some fair minded independents.
It's only February. However, you have to like McCain's position.

The latest PES (2011,2012) PS3 versions have lost the touch of reality. It is annoying, that in the middle of a long league you can't transfer players! Only way to have realistic teams after the transfer window in january is to start league again from the start with updated teams. Then you have to make a league table and goal/assist ranking tables yourself. After that you add the played games, goals and assists to your table. Is this a joke! Wake up Konami people, this is year 2012!

Updated: June 8, 2012Rock Valley College is now the premier and exclusive Apple iOS training campus in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. RVC applied for the iOS Developer University Program earlier this year and was officially approved during the first week of May 2012.
What this means is that RVC students will learn how to develop, distribute and market software applications for the Apple iPad, iPhone, and iTouch devices. Currently, the Apple developer license is $99 per developer. However, Apple has created an educational developer license program that allows 200 students and faculty members the ability to teach, create, and distribute apps at no cost to the students or faculty of the college.
The first iOS development course will be offered at RVC in Spring 2013. In addition, a Pell Grant was obtained to purchase 10 iPads for students to view the applications they develop in a real world scenario.
Students who successfully complete the iOS development course at Rock Valley College will be poised to sell their own apps on the Apple app store. Furthermore, the job market is demanding more and more iOS developers.
Currently, the Apple App store has close to one million free or paid apps created by third party developers. In addition, Apple celebrated its 10 billionth downloaded app on January 22, 2012.
RVC Associate Professor Chuck Konkol is teaching and managing the "iOS Developer University Program" starting in Spring 2013. Interested students will need to have taken C++ and Visual Basic classes or have equivalent experience to enroll in this course.
For more information about this exciting new program please contact Professor Konkol at email@example.com or (815) 921-3164.

11 May 2012 Leicester, University of
Museums around the world need to increase their efforts to reach new audiences and engage traditionally under-represented groups, according to a new book.
Professor Richard Sandell, Head of the University's School of Museum Studies, and Eithne Nightingale, the Victoria and Albert Museum's (V&A) Head of Equality and Diversity, have jointly edited Museums, Equality and Social Justice, a new book set to be launched at the V&A by Director Martin Roth on May 22.
The book brings together leading research and thinking from international museum leaders, academics and practitioners and aims to inform future innovation, developments and debates in museum practice.
It explores the variety of ways in which museums, galleries and heritage organisations across the world are engaging with broader social and political debates about equality, cultural rights and social justice.
It looks at the kinds of audiences museums attract, the staff they employ and the communities with whom they collaborate as well as exploring the ways in which museums represent diverse histories, identities and life stories.
Eithne Nightingale said: "Although many museums have pursued initiatives to reach out and engage new audiences there are also worrying signs, especially in the current economic climate, that progress towards making museums more inclusive and equitable organisations and places for everyone to participate in and benefit from is slowing down and even reversing."
Professor Sandell said: "There is now a growing body of evidence to show that museums don't simply reflect prevailing attitudes about equality, they can actively shape the kinds of conversations society has about peoples' rights, about fairness and social justice. This creates opportunities for museums but also places a responsibility on institutions to think hard about the kinds of narratives they present."
The book will be launched at the V&A by the Museum's Director, Professor Martin Roth, on Tuesday 22 May 2012.

Rally Argentina leader Jari-Matti Latvala is adamant he is in the best place on the road going into the second day of the World Rally Championship round.
Latvala had limited options for tactically slowing down, with the three drivers ahead of him on the road at least 28.8 seconds behind in the standings, but the Finn said tactics were never part of his plan, as he always wanted to lead. The Finn takes an 18.2sec advantage over Petter Solberg into the second day.
"I'm very happy with the day," Latvala said. "I believe first on the road is the right place for tomorrow. One thing is for sure, I know I will not have any problems with the dust! There might be some cleaning in some of the sandy sections, but I don't believe it will be such a problem."
Tomorrow's stages are south of Villa Carlo Paz on the generally faster roads around Santa Rosa.
"I like the roads tomorrow," said Latvala. "It's going to be a good fight. I'm not saying I'm in the best place to win this rally – we can't say that when we have such a big stage on Sunday [Ascochinga, 30 miles], but it's a good place to be."

youdontseeyouwant's "Movies Referenced in Jonathan Lethem's "The Disappointment Artist""
Few writers I've encountered are as informed by cinema as Jonathan Lethem. His novel "Girl In Landscape" is a sci-fi rewrite of John Ford's "The Searchers" and he has written essays for several Criterion editions ("The Killers," "Unfaithfully Yours," "Five Films by John Casavettes").
"The Disappointment Artist" is his first collection of non-fiction essays, a self-described "series of covert and not-so-covert autobiographical pieces," many of which touch on his love of cinema. One essay is dedicated to his obsessive, defensive love for "The Searchers" while another describes the summer he spent, at 13 years old, seeing "Star Wars" 21 times during its initial theatrical run. The collection also includes his Casavettes essay along with a number of other essays which are loaded with cinematic references.

Canon EOS camera repairs - worth it?
I might just be considering a new EOS at that price - 6 years since inceptionof 400D - something else may go wrong a week after you get it back. Considering you might still get £75-100 on an auction site + the £165 for repair = not much more for a new EOS with bigger, brighter, higher res LCD, Digic 4 processor rather than Digic 2, 18mp CMOS rather than 10.1mp + a host of others such as 1080P video capability....
Won't be long before a 600d body can be had for £400, so I'd maybe put the money towards that.
Sorry to poach in on another thread. My wife has a 400D. It has been a little temperamental, the above has fairly helped(gave the flash mount a clean). Can someone tell me why the camera does not shoot quickly, it is very slow to respond when taking a photo and sometimes will not, usually if the subject is quite close. I can only guess this is due to a setting, although it occurs when using the camera in auto(the green box). My wife is going on a slr course that a friend is running in the new year. In the mean time would be good to keep happy snappy!!

Dwight Howard: 'Nobody's Going Anywhere'
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On January 27, 2013 @ 7:10 pm In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
With the Feb. 21 trade deadline fast approaching and the free agent-to-be who used to be known for his joyous ways waffling again about whether he's happy, Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard is sending mixed signals again — just as he has done so often in these last two roller-coaster seasons. Yet when asked about his state of mind Saturday, Howard insisted that a Lakers' shakeup won't be happening any time soon.
"My mind-set? Nobody's going anywhere," Howard told USA TODAY Sports.
Despite saying the Lakers won't trade him or anyone else to save their awful season, Howard has the team guessing again. His answers regarding free agency have taken on a different tone of late, with Howard opting not to discuss the topic after he had spoken about his return as if it were a foregone conclusion for so long.
From Howard on down, it remains a wait-and-see world for the Lakers.
