On October 27, 2008, WeAreChangeLA's Jeremy Rothe-Kushel was on hand to cover an event with William Bratton, the Chief of the LAPD. Bratton was at a Townhall LA event at the Omni Hotel in Downtown LA to give a talk entitled "Crime and Your Bottom Line." Although Bratton was there to focus on the future of the LAPD in relationship to development and crime-prevention, there was still a media buzz humming about an article Bratton had penned a week earlier with 'terrorism expert' R.P. Eddy in the NY Daily News. http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2008/10/21/2008-10-21_osama_bin_lade…
The article, entitled "Osama Bin Laden wants a vote, so beware a late October surprise," warned that if "Bin Laden wants to engineer a late-October surprise in 2008, an attack on a significant American economic target may be one of the most tempting opportunities he has had in recent years." In addition to asserting that "U.S. intelligence is worried" because a "2007 National Intelligence Estimate said that Al Qaeda has reconstituted and may again be capable of hitting the U.S. mainland," the article also claimed that "Bin Laden may have already begun to weigh in on our coming elections," because in September, "Al Qaeda launched an assault against the American Embassy in Yemen."
Bratton, who had worked under Rudolph Giuliani at the helm of NYPD in the 90's pursuing the "broken windows" policy, became LAPD Police Chief in 2002. He came to the LAPD directly out of a strong working relationship with Kroll Inc. (see: http://fluxrostrum.blogspot.com/2007/05/who-killed-john-oneil.html… Continue reading

Latest Update 11/08/08
Thanks to www.historycommons.org, DHS, and simuvac. This is dedicated to the 9/11 Truth Movement.
Before I begin, I would like to say that theorizing about what happened on 9/11, when you're not being given answers to your questions about that day by the people who SHOULD be able to do so, is PERFECTLY normal. As is suspecting that the reason these answers aren't being given is "sinister" in nature. As Ray McGovern said, "for people to dismiss these questioners as "conspiratorial advocates", or "conspiratorial theorists"… that's completely out of line because the… The questions remain because the President who should be able to answer them, WILL NOT." When you think about everything this Administration has done in almost 8 years, the idea that they might not be giving us the answers we seek because of something "sinister" is not crazy. In fact, it's the most logical conclusion one can come to at this point. After seven plus years of obfuscation, spin, lies, and cover-ups regarding the 9/11 attacks, it is unavoidable to think that criminal complicity is the reason why.
That being said, we have not proven it beyond the shadow of doubt. We do not have documentation that shows they planned it. We do not have a signed confession from someone. We have pieces of the puzzle, and to most of us that have been doing this a long time, those pieces point to more than just Osama Bin Laden,… Continue reading

For over two years now I have been speaking and writing about what I call deep events. I mean by deep events the traumatic and unexpected episodes that recur periodically in US history and alter it, nearly always for the worse. These deep events can never be properly analyzed or understood, because of an intelligence dimension which results in a socially imposed veil of silence, both in the government and in the Mainstream Media.
The more that I look at these deep events comparatively, ranging over the past five decades, the more similarities I see between them, and the more I understand them in the light of each other. I hope in this paper to use analogies from the murder of JFK and 9/11 to cast new light on the murders of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy.1
I began this analysis in 2006 by comparing the JFK assassination with 9/11. I drew attention to over a dozen similarities, of which today I will be focusing on only four:
1) the remarkable and puzzling speed with which those in power identified what I call the designated culprits (Lee Harvey Oswald and the 19 alleged hijackers),
2) the self-incriminating trail allegedly left by the culprits themselves — such as the bundle that James Earl Ray is said to have conveniently left in a doorway on his way to his car. Oswald was said to have carried a flagrantly falsified draft card identifying… Continue reading

Recently I published two articles pointing to suggestive similarities between the recurring deep events in recent American history — those events which, because of their intelligence aspects, are ignored, misrepresented, or covered up in the American media. The first article pointed to overall similarities in many deep events since World War II. The second pointed to surprising points of comparison in the two deep events which were followed shortly by major U.S. wars: the John F. Kennedy assassination and 9/11. In the background of all these events, I suggested, was recurring evidence of the milieu "combining intelligence officials with elements from the drug-trafficking underworld."1
Inthis essay I shall first attempt to lay out the complex geography ornetwork of that milieu, which I call the global drug connection, andits connections to what has been called an "alternative" or "shadow" CIA. I shall then show how this network, of banks, financial agents of influence, and the alternative CIA,contributed to the infrastructure of the Kennedy assassination and aseries of other, superficially unrelated, major deep events.
In this narrative, the names of individuals, their institutions, and their connections arerelatively unimportant. What matters is to see that such a milieu existed; that it was on-going, well-connected, and protected; and that, with increasing independence from governmental restraint, it played a role in major deep events in the last half century.
This of course strengthens the important hypothesis to be investigated,that this on-going milieu may also have contributed to the… Continue reading

9/28/2008: Pentagon on 9/11, Shoe Bombing, Bin Laden in the Soviet-Afghan War and More – Additions as of September 28, 2008
This week, a massive amount of new entries have been added to the timeline, dealing with a whole range of different issues. We will start with the day of 9/11, in particular the Pentagon, which a fire chief warned could be a target nearly 20 minutes before it was hit. The attack itself created confusion by setting off 300 fire alarms, although some medical workers thought the ensuing evacuation was a drill. After wandering about outside the building, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld refused to follow the established emergency plan and evacuate, instead sending deputy Paul Wolfowitz to an alternate military command center, where the computers and communication systems did not work.
The first fighter was seen arriving over the Pentagon at around 10:40 a.m., the FAA sent the White House incorrect details of the hijacked planes in the early afternoon, and astronauts viewed the devastation in New York from space. Meanwhile, the FBI established a command post near the Pentagon and limited the evidence that needed to be photographed there.

The FBI has blocked two of its veteran counterterrorism agents from going public with accusations that the CIA deliberately withheld crucial intelligence before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
FBI Special Agents Mark Rossini and Douglas Miller have asked for permission to appear in an upcoming public television documentary, scheduled to air in January, on pre-9/11 rivalries between the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency.
The program is a spin-off from The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America, by acclaimed investigative reporter James Bamford, due out in a matter of days.
The FBI denied Rossini and Miller permission to participate in the book or the PBS "NOVA" documentary, which is also being written and produced by Bamford, on grounds that the FBI "doesn't want to stir up old conflicts with the CIA," according to multiple reliable sources.
Bamford, contacted by phone, said he could not comment because his publisher has embargoed his new book for release around Oct. 10.
The author of two other ground-breaking books on the NSA, Bamford also said his general policy is not to discuss his negotiations for interviews with intelligence agencies.
Pre-9/11 intelligence mishaps have been generally attributed to bureaucratic screw-ups — a "failure to connect the dots," exacerbated by spy agency rivalries.
But Rossini and Miller, who were assigned to the CIA-run Counterterrorist Center during the run-up to the 9/11 attacks, are prepared to describe… Continue reading

The Congressional anthrax hearings of September 16-17 revealed that public pressure is keeping the doors open in the anthrax case. FBI Director Robert Mueller promised that the FBI will provide their evidence to a panel of experts for scientific evaluation. The battle will now turn to the independence of this panel, and whether "all evidence" or merely "scientific evidence" will be under review.
During the hearings, Mueller found himself under fire by Senator Patrick Leahy and Congressman John Conyers for not having answers to their questions. Republican Arlen Specter was furious at Mueller for his unwillingness to assure them that Congress would have a role in determining the panel's composition.
Meanwhile, new evidence shows just how deeply wrong ABC and Washington Post reporters have been over the years on their coverage of the anthrax attacks. They can't have it both ways: Either they made repeated "mistakes" by relying on their sources, or several people deliberately lied in order to advance war on Iraq.
In his recent book Taking Heat, former White House secretary Ari Fleischer wrote that Bush was more shook up by the anthrax attacks than by any other event. White House officials repeatedly pressed Mueller to prove it was a second-wave assault by al-Qaeda or Iraq. After days of provocative statements designed to scare the American people, Cheney himself believed that he had been exposed to anthrax. Although the test… Continue reading

Each year around the anniversary of 9/11, I summarize what we ordinary citizens have learned since that awful day in 2001. This is the seventh annual look backwards, a 2008 update that contains new information and surmisings about those horrific events and what followed.
1. One 9/11 Size Fits All. What we now more fully understand is how the CheneyBush Administration utilized the murderous terrorism of 9/11 as the linchpin justification for their unfolding domestic and foreign agenda, much of it illegal, immoral and impeachable.
By and large, one can sum up that overall agenda as: Amass and control power in the U.S. and much of the world ("full-spectrum dominance"), and, in cahoots with their corporate supporters such as Halliburton and Blackwater, loot the federal treasury. All this was to be carried out secretly, with no accountability.
2. Iraq War Planning Began Before 9/11. We also know more about the nature of the lies (including forged documents) used by the Administration to sell the Iraq War, which attack already was in the planning stages well before 9/11.
The first faked document, by CIA forgers at the behest of White House officials, was a 2005 letter (back-dated 2001) supposedly coming from the then-Iraqi intelligence chief to his boss Saddam Hussein mentioning alleged "facts" that established a tie-in between 9/11, Al-Qaida and Iraq and about Saddam's supposed purchase of uranium. The official, Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti, who had been an informant for the U.S. during… Continue reading

The American Monitor
Law firms representing victims of the 9/11 attacks in an ongoing legal dispute with wealthy Saudis suspected of financing al-Qaeda have recently turned their attention to two individuals with unique ties to the U.S. government.
Lawyers for victims of the attacks, as well as insurance companies of property owners in New York, have filed a motion of discovery in federal district court in Manhattan targeting the Saudi-owned National Commercial Bank (NCB) and two of its former executives, Khalid bin Mahfouz and Yassin al-Qadi.
Both Mahfouz and al-Qadi have a murky history that includes alleged ties to the CIA, the White House, the Bush family, al-Qaeda, and organized crime on a global scale.
The discovery motion, if granted, would advance the case by requiring both sides to disclose and exchange all available pertinent facts regarding the defendants. The motion comes just days after a circuit court ruled members of the Saudi government are immune from terrorism lawsuits in the United States, a setback in the plaintiffs' case against Saudis suspected of financing al-Qaeda in the years leading up to 9/11. There are some defendants, however, the ruling does not protect, including Khalid bin Mahfouz, Yassin al-Qadi, and the NCB.
Government documents, expert testimony, and media reports dating back several years suggest Mahfouz and al-Qadi have raised millions of dollars for al-Qaeda and other militant groups. Evidence indicates some of the defendants' activities were sanctioned by the U.S. government.
During the late… Continue reading

This week Visibility 9-11 welcomes former diplomat from the State Department's Foreign Service J. Michael Springmann. Mr. Springmann served postings in Germany, India, Saudi Arabia, and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research in Washington D.C. He is a published author of several articles on national security themes, and is an attorney in private practice in Washington D.C.
Michael has attended several 9/11 Conferences over the years, most notably, the 9/11 Omission hearings on 9/9/2004 chaired by former Representative and current Green Party candidate for President, Cynthia McKinney, as well as the recent conference in Keene, NH.
Included in this important interview is a discussion regarding a new article by Mr. Springmann titled, THE MISTAKE DEPARTMENT: One Example of Why American Foreign Policy is a Disaster (reprinted below) that discusses the American Consulate General at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and it's relationship to 15 of the 19 alleged September 11th hijackers. In it, he says that "the Jeddah Consulate was not a State Department post but an intelligence services operation", "the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) routinely demanded (and got) visas for sleazy characters with no ties to either their home country or Saudi Arabia," and "these vile people were terrorists recruited by U.S. intelligence officers along with Osama bin Laden, then a CIA asset."

"Scoop" Independent News
Washington, D.C.
(June 17, NYC). A surprise development occurred at today's hearing in the case of Susan Lindauer versus the United States. A long time associate of the accused, associate professor of computer science at Toronto's York University, Parke Godfrey, Ph.D., testified that Susan Lindauer predicted an attack on the United States in the southern part of Manhattan. According to his testimony, she said that the attack would be very similar to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Godfrey said that Lindauer made the prediction on several occasions, one as late as August 2001.
The testimony occurred in a hearing on Lindauer's competence to stand trial held before U.S. District Court Judge Loretta Preska, Southern District of New York, in lower Manhattan. On March 11, 2004, Lindauer was arrested for acting as an "unregistered agent" for the nation of Iraq prior to the U.S. invasion. Prosecutors have delayed the trial for over four years claiming Lindauer was delusional for asserting that she was a U.S. intelligence asset over a period of nine years, including the period covered by the indictment.
This was Lindauer's first real opportunity to argue her competence to stand trial and deny the delusions claimed by court psychiatrists. Lindauer asserts that she had been a U.S. intelligence asset since working on the Lockerbie case and subsequent antiterrorism efforts.
Appearing for the defense, Dr. Godfrey testified under oath that Lindauer told him of her specific concerns about an attack on the… Continue reading

The Deep State and 9/11
The unthinkable — that elements inside the state would conspire with criminals to kill innocent civilians — has become not only thinkable but commonplace in the last century. A seminal example was in French Algeria, where dissident elements of the French armed forces, resisting General de Gaulle's plans for Algerian independence, organized as the Secret Army Organization and bombed civilians indiscriminately, with targets including hospitals and schools. 1 Critics like Alexander Litvinenko, who was subsequently murdered in London in November 2006, have charged that the 1999 bombings of apartment buildings around Moscow, attributed to Chechen separatists, were in fact the work of the Russian secret service (FSB). 2
Similar attacks in Turkey have given rise to the notion there of an extra-legal "deep state" — a combination of forces, ranging from former members of the CIA-organized Gladio organization, to "a vast matrix of security and intelligence officials, ultranationalist members of the Turkish underworld and renegade former members of the [Kurdish separatist] PKK." 3 The deep state, financed in part by Turkey's substantial heroin traffic, has been accused of killing thousands of civilians, in incidents such as the lethal bomb attack in November 2005 on a bookshop in Semdinli. This attack, initially attributed to the Kurdish separatist PKK, turned out to have been committed by members of Turkey's paramilitary police intelligence service, together with a former PKK member turned informer. 4 On April 23, 2008, the former Interior Minister Mehmet Agar was ordered… Continue reading

More material has been added covering the NSA's surveillance of Ahmed al-Hada, father-in-law of alleged Pentagon hijacker Khalid Almihdhar. Both President Bush and Vice President Cheney used the non-exploitation of calls between his phone in Yemen and the hijackers in the US to justify the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program in January 2006. Attorney General Michael Mukasey and Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell attributed the failure to trace the calls to a 1981 executive order earlier this year, and Mukasey bizarrely then claimed that one of the calls was between the US and Afghanistan, rather than Yemen. This confused the media somewhat, and a group of congressmen asked Mukasey for an explanation.
There are additional entries about the day of 9/11. A senior official later disputed Richard Clarke's account of the day's events, some Pentagon security cameras did not show the crash site, and the fighters who later responded to the Pentagon attack attended anti-terrorism training earlier in the day. There is a dispute over which gate American 11 left from at Boston airport, where suspicious passengers arrived on September 10, when Larry Silverstein's publicist cancelled an appointment at the WTC for 9/11. Other entries point out United 93's autopilot was turned off, top air force officials continued with a meeting when they learned the WTC had been hit, and crew on United 93 had previously attended antiterrorism training. Pilots on American 77, American 11 and United 93, were allocated… Continue reading
Latest Findings Raise New Questions about Hijackers and Suggest Incomplete Investigation
A contributor to the History Commons has obtained a 298-page document entitled Hijackers Timeline (Redacted) from the FBI, subsequent to a Freedom of Information Act request. The document was a major source of information for the 9/11 Commission's final report. Though the commission cited the timeline 52 times in its report, it failed to include some of the document's most important material.
The printed document is dated November 14, 2003, but appears to have been compiled in mid-October 2001 (the most recent date mentioned in it is October 22, 2001), when the FBI was just starting to understand the backgrounds of the hijackers, and it contains almost no information from the CIA, NSA, or other agencies. This raises questions as to why the 9/11 Commission relied so heavily on such an early draft for their information about the hijackers.
CooperativeTimeline.org has posted new information from the "Hijackers Timeline," recently released by the FBI. Links to the full FBI documents are at the end of the article, (which also contains many links to other Timeline entries in the original announcement, at the source).
In addition, the 90-page "Charge Sheet" (see also press release 2/11/08, "Sept. 11 Co-Conspirators Charged") conveys an enormous amount of information relating to the hijackers for a significant period of time before, and on, September 11th.
For an event this government has said "no one could have… Continue reading
Letter Describes Senior State Dept. Official Marc Grossman as Tipping off Turkish Embassy to Valerie Plame Wilson's 'Brewster Jennings' Counter-Proliferation Operation…
By Brad Friedman from on the road…
London's Sunday Times has just published a follow-up to their explosive front-pager from two weeks ago which described allegations by former FBI translator turned whistleblower Sibel Edmonds.
Though there has been worldwide coverage of the recent blockbuster in the Rupert Murdoch-owned British paper, the U.S. media have remained entirely mum, a point which has drawn great consternation from both Edmonds and the 70's-era "Pentagon Papers" Daniel Ellsberg, whom The BRAD BLOG has spoken to this evening, following the release of tonight's extraordinary new Times piece.
The paper now reports that they are able to corroborate an apparent FBI cover-up of documents detailing an investigation of the theft and sale of nuclear secrets to agents working for Turkey and Israel, who in turn shared the secrets with Pakistan, who in turn may have shared those secrets with Iran, North Korea, Libya, and possibly even al-Qaeda.
As The BRAD BLOG reported along with the Times two weeks ago, the operation also includes allegations that high-ranking U.S. officials — such as Marc Grossman, a former U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, who served as the #3 official in the State Department under Colin Powell and Richard Armitage from 2001 to 2005 — were involved in the sale of those secrets and may have accepted pay-offs from agents in the black… Continue reading
by Joseph Cannon, Monday, December 10, 2007*
When the CIA tells you that a piece of evidence has been destroyed, you should react as skeptically as you would to the death of a Marvel supervillain.
As you know, CIA Deputy Director of Operations Jose Rodriguez reportedly made the decision to destroy tapes of prisoner interrogation, allegedly to protect the identities of the interrogators. This action, we are told, ran contrary to the wishes of Porter Goss, who then ran the Agency.
Joseph Cannon in his blog of Dec. 10 recalls how past CIA claims of lost evidence later turned out to be untrue: "When the CIA tells you that a piece of evidence has been destroyed, you should react as skeptically as you would to the death of a Marvel supervillain."
One certainty is that the CIA lied, either when it told the 9/11 Commission that tapes of certain interrogations were never made, or else in its current claim that such tapes did exist but have been destroyed. This serves to underline the absurdity of accepting any CIA statements, any at all, especially about 9/11. By extension, the 9/11 Commission is yet again tainted for using the CIA's prisoner "transcripts" uncritically as a main source in its report; whether out of cynicism or unforgivable naivete is irrelevant.
It's near impossible to tell on how many levels the CIA can be (and probably is) lying about the torture tapes. They may be lying about having certain… Continue reading

The environment is sustained by trees, which cleanse the air and stabilize the earth, and the references in Jewish sources to the importance of protecting them are meant to be guidelines for caring for the planet in general.
Prompted by this question, I returned to the perspectives of the ancient Jewish commentators on the Passover story. I wanted to know: Were they bothered by the death of so many Egyptians?
The rabbis of old were interested in the why: Why was it necessary for the Israelites to develop their peoplehood in the crucible of slavery? "Django Unchained" is essentially Quentin Tarantino's exploration of exactly the same question.
If we're made in God's image, could it be possible that our Maker also experienced new parenthood as a crazy challenge, making God vulnerable -- metaphorically sleep-deprived -- and deeply in love with those helpless naked creatures.
When we forgive, we are doing Teshuvah and are able to spiritually stand in that place before creation. Before the past, before the future, we are able to stand in the Infinite present moment in which God is re-creating the world every single second.
In the Bible God exiles Adam and Eve and declares that they will never be permitted to return to the Garden. If God's intention was to assure that humanity would be forever exiled, why did God not destroy Eden?

Comments about Classic Metropolitan 3-Pack Meeting Notes Pad:
I work in marketing communications on a creative team. I use these note pads for meetings with clients and for in-house production and leadership meetings. I'm relatively new to the Franklin Covey system and this format of note taking greatly facilitates the habit of writing down the action items. It also makes follow-up easy because action items are not lost in the notes. If you attend a lot of meetings on a daily basis, these notepads are essential.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

MESA COUNTY, Colo. The Mesa County Coroner has identified the body found in the desert north of Grand Junction, off 25 Road, as Kathleen Stetzel. Kathleen was reported missing by family members earlier this week and investigators had been trying to locate her and her son, Daniel Stetzel.
Her daughter Lindsey said she was the one who found her body when she was searching for her, "My mother Kathleen Stetzel was a beautiful soul who never deserved to die. I should have never had to find her body in the desert. Everyone that knew her loved her. She was the most amazing grandma in the world. A passerby didn't find her body in the desert I found her body in the desert. I pray the MCSO find who is responsible for this."
They have labeled Daniel as a person of interest, and emphasize they want to speak with him about his mother. Anyone with information about Daniel or his whereabouts, should call 911 or non-emergency dispatch at: 242-6707.
The death investigation of Kathleen Stetzel remains active and on-going.

Here we'll see what all can be done to improve stock Ubuntu 14.10. 20 things to do after installing Ubuntu 14.10/Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

For Linux users, there are plenty of Dropbox alternatives, MEGAsync being the latest entrant. The service was the brain child of Kim Dotcom, founder of now defunct Megaupload, and it was launched on 19 January 2013 to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the seizure of his previous enterprise. MEGAsync now has a dedicated Linux client as well (unlike Google Drive).

There's isn't probably a piece of software that is as hated as Windows 8's Metro UI.

Christina Aguilera gave birth this morning in Los Angeles at around 4am. It is the first child for her and husband Jordan Bratman, whom she married in November of 2005. E! news says:
The couple announced the birth in a quick text message to friends and family around 4 p.m.: "Baby has arrived. Mom and dad are doing well!"
There were no further details immediately available. "As soon as I have more information I will let you know," the singer's rep said.
And a few hours earlier at the very same hospital, the Chupacabra gave birth to … god only knows … something ugly I promise you that. People says:
Nicole Richie and her boyfriend Joel Madden are the parents of a daughter.
Harlow Winter Kate Madden was born Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz.
"The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents," says the rep, who confirmed the birth to PEOPLE exclusively.
No word on when the first pictures of Harlow will show up, or if film will even agree to capture her image. There's no way around it, this bitch is gonna be ugly. I think a funny joke would have been for the doctor to take one look and then push it back in, saying "I don't think this ones done yet!" Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!

Live video: Filibuster to prevent abortion bill vote in progress
State Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) began her filibuster of Senate Bill 5 at 11:18 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The above player presents a live stream of events at the Capitol.
Sen. Davis must speak about the bill and related topics. No other senators can speak for her. Davis cannot leave the podium or drink water. And she will have to keep it up for until the senate adjourns tonight at midnight.
Davis said she would use up large chunks of time reading into the record testimony from women and doctors who would be impacted by the changes.
Davis' filibuster is an effort to present a vote on Senate Bill 5, which would ban most abortions at 20 weeks of gestation, require that abortions be performed in ambulatory surgical centers and require doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. The measure also would require doctors who administer the abortion-inducing drug, RU-486, to do so in person.

Chiropractic in Mason - is it right for me?
Mason Chiropractors specialize in the interactions between our nerves, muscles and skeleton and their effects on our general health. They diagnose problems and use manual therapy, including joint adjustment and manipulation, to prevent and treat them.
Many people who seek Mason chiropractic care do so for help with back pain, especially lower back pain, neck pain and headache. Spinal adjustment in Mason or chiropractic adjustment is the most common method of treatment--it refers to the manual adjustment by the chiropractor of the three-joint complex at the base of your spine with sufficient force to create a sensation of 'release', increasing the joint's range and reducing pain.
A treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments. Many chiropractors in Mason also incorporate nutritional counseling, exercise or rehabilitation into the treatment plan.
How is a Chiropractor licensed?
The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in Mason must complete four academic years at a school accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, as well as a one-year internship at an outpatient clinic owned and run by a chiropractic college. They are tested and certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and licensed by the state in which they practice. To maintain licensure in most states, practitioners must complete a certain number of continuing education hours annually.
There are several schools of chiropractic adjustment techniques, although most chiropractors mix techniques from several schools. Some Applied Kinesiologists in Mason are qualified as Chiropractors.

Hello All,
I've seen my first victory with trying to repair my credit! Baby steps, I know, but something is better than nothing. There were judgments showing on my report - 1 on EQ and 3 on EX. These were all from an apartment complex that filed eviction if you were late on rent and then dismissed once you paid. Even though all of these items were dismissed, they were still showing on my reports. Anyway, after disputing the judgments with the CRAs and providing copies of the dismissal orders from the court, I received an alert from Score Watch that my EQ score has increased by 20 points!!! I haven't made it to my PO Box to see the actual report that they send back but I'm guessing they removed it from my report, hence the increase.
I know that this isn't a huge jump and I have a ways to go but I'm excited about it. Now my EQ fico is sitting at 520.
Next steps - I'm mailing pre-HIPAA letters tomorrow to the CRAs for 3 medical collections that are being reported. I also disputed a few items that included incorrect information. After this, I have some PFDs to do for other collection accounts.
Wish me luck! I turn 30 in July and would like to enter the next decade of my life with a decent credit score!
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

Foot Locker (FL) ($33.02) missed EPS estimates by 2 cents earning 46 cents a share premarket on Friday. The buy-rated stock failed to hold its 200-day SMA at $34.34 and traded to a day's low at $32.50. I do not have a value level and the 2013 low is $31.12 set on the first trading day of the year. My monthly pivot is $33.38 with a weekly risky level at $35.55.
Gamestop (GME) ($52.38) beat EPS estimates by 5 cents earning 9 cents a share premarket on Thursday. The stock opened with a moon-shot to a new multi-year high at $56.08. This strength caused the stock to be downgraded to hold from buy and hence Friday's close was down 7.7% from the high. My monthly value level is $42.53 with a weekly pivot at $52.55, which was a magnet on Monday.
Gap (GPS) ($41.43) matched EPS estimates earning 64 cents a share after the close on Thursday. The buy-rated stock traded slightly higher on Friday, but closed slightly lower. My semiannual value level is $37.17 with monthly and quarterly pivots at $42.01 and $42.78 and a weekly risky level at $46.39.
Children's Place (PLCE) ($55.30) beat EPS estimates by 12 cents reporting a better than expected loss of 42 cents a share premarket on Thursday. The buy-rated stock popped from a Wednesday close at $51.40 to a fresh 2013 high at $58.88. The stock tested my monthly value level at $51.29 at the Wednesday pre-earnings low. My annual and quarterly pivots are $57.18 and $57.70 semiannual risky levels at $67.12 and $68.68.At the time of publication the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Republicans are the Big Government Party
Unemployment Rate Would be 7.1 Percent Without Government Cuts March 11th, 2013 By Jason Sattler One of the biggest Republican myths of the last four years is that the government has been exploding in size. The truth is that federal, state and local governments have cut more than 750,000 jobs since June of 2009. If those jobs hadn't been lost, the unemployment rate would now be 7.1 percent, according to the Labor Department. The total number of people ... Full Story
Yellowstone gets real about budget cuts
By Lisa Rein MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. — The giant yellow snowplows that wake Yellowstone from its winter slumber every March are idled, waiting for the sun to make up for federal budget cuts that are forcing the park to open late for peak season. Mandatory cuts kicked in three days before the plows were to start clearing snow and ice from 300 roads at altitudes that reach 11,000 feet. Faced with an order from Washington to slice $1.8 million from his budget, the park ... Full Story
Study Finds Stricter Gun Laws Mean Fewer Fatalities
By Allison Brito A study released last week by JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association): Internal Medicine shows a direct correlation between gun laws and gun-related fatalities. While the study is mainly based on the number of gun laws, not the type (it doesn't, for example, specify which particular laws are the most effective), it confirms that generally speaking, stricter gun laws result in fewer deaths. The report, entitled "Firearm Legislation and ... Full Story
'Good Guys With Guns' Will Not Stop Gun
By Bob Cesca On HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday there was an extended and heated debate about gun control. The participants included Newark, NJ mayor Cory Booker and author Sam Harris, who, in case you don't recognize the name, happens to be an insufferable marketeer of the "both sides are awful" false equivalence. The debate mostly centered around Cory Booker arguing for a massive effort to seize illegally-obtained firearms, with Maher and Harris telling him he's ... Full Story

The Cosmic Eye
Description: Animation veteran Faith Hubley worked solo for the first time since her husband's death in 1977 to oversee the feature-length cartoon The Cosmic Eye. The film concentrates on nothing less than the evolution of the earth, as seen through the eyes of three ultracool jazz musicians. Newly filmed material is blended with earlier Hubley projects to come up with an immensely satisfying unified whole. The animation is brilliantly complemented by the voicework (and musical contributions) of Dizzy Gillespie as the head musician, and by the soothing tones of Jean Stapleton as the humanized Earth. The film's overall message of peace, tolerance and conservation is never offered in the sledgehammer fashion of say, TV's Captain Planet. Completed in 1985, The Cosmic Eye was distributed on a limited basis the following year.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Measures of financial and energy shares in the S&P 500 dropped at least 1.2 percent for the biggest declines among 10 groups. JPMorgan tumbled 4.2 percent, the most in the Dow, to $34.38. Bank of America Corp. fell 2.1 percent to $7.89. Anadarko Petroleum, an independent oil and natural-gas producer, slumped 3.2 percent to $66.82.
Target and Macy's Inc. posted June same-store sales that trailed analysts' estimates as consumer confidence in the U.S. cooled and retailers focused on clearing inventory before the back-to-school shopping season. Sales at TJX Cos., which owns discount stores T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, and at Limited Brands, the parent company of Victoria's Secret, beat estimates.
Target, the second-largest U.S. discount chain, lost 1.2 percent to $57.11. Macy's, the second-biggest U.S. department- store chain, rose 2.6 percent to $34.24. TJX rallied 3.9 percent to $44.14. Limited Brands jumped 5.5 percent to $46.58.
Advanced Micro Devices lost 3 percent to $5.85. The company was downgraded to neutral from buy at Sterne, Agee & Leach by equity analyst Vijay Rakesh. The 12-month share-price estimate is $8.50.

C of E acting responsibly?
The Church of England has been under mounting pressure over the past year to disinvest in the FTSE 100 company after it continually refused to back down on its plans to construct an open-cast mine on Niyamgiri mountain in Orissa, India. Activists believe it will destroy the area's ecosystem and threaten the future of the 8,000-strong Dongria Kondh tribe, who depend on the hills for their crops and water and who believe the mountain and surrounding forest to be a sacred place.
The question to be answered is why it has taken the church so long to condem and take action against Vedanta? Should the church not lead from the top and have acted in a socially responsible manner straight away when the issue came to its attention?

As one of the largest medical genetic centers in the U.S., we conduct pioneering research to identify the genetic susceptibilities – or predispositions – of many diseases, including cancer. Ayasdi has helped us glean new insights that will lead to breakthrough drug discoveries.Eric Schadt
Director, Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology, Mount Sinai
Regulators and empowered consumers are placing tremendous pressure on pharmaceutical companies to meet increasingly stringent drug quality and safety requirements while demonstrating the superiority of their therapies over a growing number of generic alternatives.
Your firms have a wealth of knowledge locked in the massive amounts of data gathered throughout the discovery-to-commercialization process that can help meet these demands. The challenge, however, lies in being able to uncover key insights from this complex data to help produce high quality and effective therapies faster and at lower costs.
Ayasdi Cure™ can help. It fundamentally changes the way data is analyzed and uncovers knowledge from highly complex and disparate data sets. Relying on advanced algorithms and machine learning, it can quickly discover and visualize critical intelligence that was previously hidden or overlooked. These insights can help your firms expedite biomarker discovery, prevent costly late-stage failures, detect adverse events early, and enable precision medicine.
Next generation patient stratification is the future of precision medicine and represents a fundamental shift in understanding and treating diseases. Affordable genomic testing is allowing pharmaceutical companies to combine a patient's genomic profile with other data to help understand the disease at molecular, genomic and clinical levels simultaneously. Ayasdi Cure offers your R&D departments a new level of analytical precision. It lets them explore millions of features per patient and automates time-consuming analytical work. Your researchers can now associate and analyze complex datasets that have never been analyzed together to discover and validate biomarkers.
For example, in clinical testing, small patient samples make it challenging to distinguish between disease resistance and unresponsiveness. Knowing upfront which patients are likely to develop resistance can allow your researchers to segment patients by genomic profiles and predicted responses to a treatment. They can then adjust their trial criteria, potentially saving hundreds of millions of dollars in failed clinical trials while reducing the likelihood of harm to patients.
With Ayasdi Cure, your researchers can analyze a wide variety of complex data sets including patient genotypes and gene expressions, phenotypic data, tumor characteristics, lifestyle factors, and somatic mutations. The solution takes in all your data, from electronic health records to sequencing machine outputs, and allows your researchers to advance effective compounds within a fraction of the time compared with classical drug development approaches. This new level of precision can reduce time to approval, increase clinical trial success rates and efficacy, and reduce complications from poorly targeted drugs.
Drug discovery often requires the analysis of tens of thousands of compounds of interest to arrive at one or two drug target candidates. Determining which targets to prioritize can be a challenge.
Using Ayasdi Cure, your researchers can analyze biological pathways to identify mechanisms of action. The solution automatically uncovers the relationships between compounds and patient profiles, thereby narrowing the list of drug candidates.
For instance, an emerging drug developer used Ayasdi Cure to discover multiple biomarkers for an early-stage drug. The firm was then able to differentiate between responsive and unresponsive patients. After their pharmaceutical team had assembled the clinical trial data, they used the Ayasdi solution to validate the identified biomarkers' response to the drug within hours. More importantly, the Ayasdi solution helped the researchers discover additional significant biomarkers associated with survival.
Ayasdi Cure uses topological data analysis techniques on complex, multi-modal and multi-tiered data to identify chemical fingerprints that characterize compounds with similar potency and selectivity. The solution can further characterize compound descriptors related to activity or inhibitory capabilities to speed the discovery of hypotheses for potential drug candidates.
When analyzing clinical trials, pharmaceutical firms wrestle with small patient samples and an inability to distinguish between resistance and unresponsiveness. For instance, in clinical trials for cancer, a patient can relapse by becoming resistant to the drug or because the tumor, due to its unique molecular profile, does not respond well to treatment. If clinicians knew which patients are likely to be unresponsive, they can adjust the trial criteria to target patients that will benefit the most.
With Ayasdi Cure, your researchers can automatically segment patients by their tumor genomic profiles as well as their predisposition to respond favorably or adversely to treatment. It helps them quickly identify cancer sub-types that are likely to respond well to treatment and tailor clinical trials targeting patients with that particular profile.
One strategy to grow revenue at lower costs is to identify additional indications for approved drugs. Ayasdi has worked with leading companies that have been successful in this mission. For example, research scientists at a pharmaceutical firm were in preparation to discontinue a drug. Before doing so, they decided to use Ayasdi Cure to study the drug's impact on new biological pathways. Ayasdi Cure quickly led them to understand the fundamental biology underlying the drug's mechanism of action and its effect on a never-before-studied molecular pathway. As a result, Ayasdi helped the researchers associate dosages with patient responses and demonstrate the drug's significant differentiation over the standard of care. A ten-fold productivity improvement, intuitive analytics, and analytically supported results helped the scientists file for drug approval in record time.
This strategy opens up the possibility for new revenue streams and saves hundreds of millions of dollars in avoided Phase 1-3 clinical testing, enabling a single drug to achieve blockbuster revenues.
Nearly 1,000,000 people are injured or die every year from adverse drug events (ADEs), which costs hospitals millions of dollars and harms pharmaceutical companies' reputations1. In addition, hospitals lose millions of dollars each year as a result of unnecessary admissions, readmissions, malpractice and litigations linked to ADEs. Few consumers report these incidents, and when they do, the data is often sparse. This makes it challenging for pharmaceutical companies to differentiate benign from lethal effects and sufficiently link a particular drug to a patient's outcome.
With data now available from credit cards, electronic medical records, mobile phones and social media, however, there are new ways to predict and monitor for adverse drug events. For example, a global pharmaceutical firm used Ayasdi's solution to analyze social media data to understand consumer sentiment around the company's marketed drugs. The advanced, intuitive analytics helped detect subtle signals in the data that other methods would have missed. In another situation, Ayasdi's solution helped a firm automatically uncover a link between a drug and adverse effects in a subgroup of patients. It would have taken months or been impossible to accomplish with other approaches. Ayasdi's solution can help your firms reduce the chances of adverse events that can potentially cost billions of dollars in litigation and erode shareholder value.

Drug manufacturing is faced with an increasing number of significant challenges ranging from growing drug shortages, rising complexity of therapies, counterfeit growth and new serialization, tracking and tracing legislation. These trends are pressuring your firms to create flexible supply chains while finding new ways to ensure product integrity, safety, and availability.
There are significant opportunities to uncover and remedy inefficiencies and reduce variances in pharmaceutical supply chains. However, the complexity of the data makes it difficult for current analytical solutions to produce an integrated picture of the supply chain and identify opportunities for optimization.
Ayasdi's solution is designed to fuse highly complex and disparate datasets to automatically extract critical intelligence that can help optimize demand and inventory management. It can analyze data sets from inventory management systems of distributors and pharmacies, RFID and bar code data, and more, to uncover opportunities to improve supply chain efficiencies, drive down costs, and reduce risk.
Whereas other methods deal poorly with the modern, high-dimensional drug manufacturing process, Ayasdi's advanced analytics can detect subtle connections between non-intuitive factors that can lead to improved outcomes. As a result, pharmaceutical firms can make greater strides towards creating life-saving drugs.
As the costs of premium drugs continue to increase, pharmaceutical firms are challenged with justifying their prices and value to clinicians, payers and regulators. Not only do they have to prove drug efficacy with increasing detail, but they also have to demonstrate how the drug is superior to the existing standard of care and other available therapies. Current methods for analyzing data from drug superiority studies are time-consuming, highly manual and increase the burden on analytics departments.
Ayasdi Cure represents a new approach to ingesting, associating, and analyzing clinical trial results, patient profile information, and survey responses to determine comparative effectiveness. It automatically pinpoints patient segments with clinical outcomes that support the efficacy of a drug.
It can analyze merged data from disparate sources, and discover information about groups of patients that might not have been connected before. With best-in-class comparative effectiveness strategies, your firms can reduce waste in healthcare (which costs the U.S. nearly $7 billion), improve outcomes, and increase patient satisfaction.
Experts estimate1 that roughly 25% of pharmaceutical marketing to doctors, insurance companies and patients is now delivered over a digital platform – with 87% of respondents reporting the need for analytics to target spending and drive improved returns on investment.
Ayasdi Cure can help your firms launch more targeted and personalized marketing campaigns while monitoring drug performance across physicians with enhanced precision. It can drill down into the performance of marketing campaigns for new or expiring drugs by merging data from prescription sales, call center activity, physician profiles, social media, and patient demographics. It can detect subtle, non-intuitive patterns in the data that other methods miss. It provides an intuitive experience that saves days or weeks of manual analysis. As a result, pharmaceutical companies using Ayasdi can target patients and physicians more accurately, while improving physician and patient satisfaction. Since pharmaceutical companies spend nearly 30% of their revenues on sales and marketing budgets, reduced inefficiencies can lead to hundreds of millions of dollars in savings.

Leading Canadian Cinema Chain Selects Christie DLP Cinema Projectors to Double Capacity for 3D Showings
Christie announced that Cinemas Guzzo, a Canada-based leading independent cinema chain has purchased 57 Christie Solaria series digital cinema projectors, which utilize Academy Award*-winning DLP Cinema® technology from Texas Instrumentsâ (TI) (NYSE: TXN). Cinemas Guzzo, a family owned business founded in 1974, with 148 screens in 11 theatre complexes throughout the Montreal area, has launched several waves of expansion – the most recent being a new generation of avant-garde entertainment centers.
Founder Angelo Guzzo is one of the earliest pioneers of independent multi-screen movie theatres in Canada. He was instrumental in leading the struggle for independent theatre owners to obtain the right to project first-run movies, paving the way for others. Along with his son Vincenzo, Executive Vice President of Cinemas Guzzo, they are tapping into their passion for cinema to successfully expand their presence across Quebec. Over the next few years, they anticipate opening three new 100% digital multiplexes, all using Christie projectors.
"Christie is the only manufacturer that has 4K-upgradeable digital cinema projectors that not only deliver exceptional performance, but are available at an affordable price," said Vincenzo Guzzo. "We are confidently moving forward with Christie as our exclusive digital cinema provider because of their extensive history of delivering reliable products, along with friendly and supportive service to the exhibition community."
Guzzo added, "Unlike other manufacturers, Christie gives us many more choices of products and brands to expand our digital cinema capabilities, especially when creating our 3D systems."
Installation began in January of this year and Cinemas Guzzo anticipates that all 57 Christie Solaria projectors of which 30 are Christie CP2230′s will be fully deployed by November, in time for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday weekend. At that point, they will have doubled their 3D capacity in all 11 theatre complexes. Cinemas Guzzo also selected GDC servers and Master Imaging's 3D technology.
"Digital 3D makes a very big difference to the audiences we cater to. We plan to install at least four digital projectors in each theatre to run 3D content in dual languages. It's great to have the flexibility to show two different 3D titles simultaneously. Our goal is to have 50% of our screens showing 3D to take advantage of the slew of 3D coming down the pipeline," said Guzzo.
"With digital 3D cinema taking the world by storm, Christie ensures the brightest images and proven performance for 3D presentations," remarked Dave Muscat, Sr. Director of Sales, Christie Digital Systems Canada, Inc. "Pioneering independent exhibitors like Cinemas Guzzo can enjoy the widest range of cost-effective solutions to meet their current needs and future plans. For more than 80 years, Christie has been committed to providing the highest quality products at the lowest cost of operation in the industry."
*On Saturday, February 20, 2010, the Academy Board of Governors bestowed the 2009 Scientific and Engineering Award (Academy Plaque) to four individuals responsible for the color accuracy of Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE: TXN) DLP Cinema® projectors.
Acknowledged during a private award ceremony, D. Scott Dewald, Greg Pettitt, Brad Walker and Bill Werner were recognized for their contributions furthering the design and refinement of the Texas Instruments, DLP Cinema projector, achieving a level of performance which enables color-accurate, digital intermediate previews of motion pictures.
