Is AQAP (al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula) getting jealous of ISIS? Its new magazine, an offshoot of Inspire by Al-Malahem English Production, is called Palestine: Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience. It urges lone wolf attacks in the U.S. and Britain and some other places. There are photos of the Tsarnaev brothers and the Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad (background here).
It also provides a pictorial with instructions and a shopping list for ingredients for pressure cooker bombs and car bombs (which I'm not re-publishing, but you can read the magazine for yourself here, courtesy of Jihadology. See pages 14 to 18.)
Here is its pitch, and the list of suggested targets: [More...]

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals has released a redacted version of a July, 2010 memo by acting chief David Barron of the Office of Legal Counsel on targeted killings. You can read it here. The memo was the subject of an FOIA lawsuit by the ACLU and New York Times, and was authority for the 2011 killings of cleric Anwar al-Awlaki his son, and Samir Kahn, all of whom were U.S. citizens.
The Court also re-issued its opinion from April removing some redactions the Government still wanted to keep secret. The Court said there is no longer any reason for secrecy as to what country Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in and that the CIA was involved. Both had been disclosed by Administration officials in the White Paper and in media interviews. The ACLU has highlighted the unredacted portions in the decision here.
The ACLU will be posting analysis of the memo here.

President Obama really wants Law Professor David Barron on the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The problem is getting him confirmed, since he authored two of the Office of Legal Counsel memos authorizing targeted killings of American citizens. The memos are classified, and the NY Times and ACLU both filed FOIA lawsuits to obtain them. Last month, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that redacted versions be publicly disclosed (opinion here).
As a Justice Department lawyer, Mr. Barron wrote two memos concluding that it would be lawful to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, a United States citizen living in Yemen, based on intelligence agencies' conclusion that he was a senior operational terrorist plotting attacks against the United States and that his capture was not feasible. The lawsuit focused on the second and longer of those memos. Mr. Awlaki was killed by an American drone strike in September 2011.
Solicitor General, Donald B. Verrilli Jr., has decided not to appeal the Second Circuit order and to release redacted copies of the memos. [More...]

There are articles on every major media site this morning about the Obama Administration wrestling with a decision whether to target an American for killing who is working for al Qaeda in another country and planning a terror attack against the U.S.
While the country and person aren't named, it sounds like the Administration's chief purpose in releasing this information is to let the target know what's in store for him and observe his response, rather than transparency on policy decisions at home.

In the last two days, there have been two terror attacks in Volograd, Russia, one at a train station and one on a trolley, raising concern for safety at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi. At least 27 people have been killed, and at least 45 were maimed or wounded.
The suicide bomber at the train station has been identified by the Siberia Times as a 26 year old female named Oksana Aslanova. She is known as a "black widow," having been married to two deceased Islamic terror leaders in North Caucasus. Both her husbands were killed by Russian forces, and she was on a watch list. [More...]

There is a fascinating report in today's Washington Post about the U.S. providing Colombia with smart bombs to kill FARC members. The program, which of course includes major NSA surveillance and the CIA and JSOC, began under George W. Bush and has continued under Obama. It is funded by a "multi-billion dollar black budget." ($52 billion to be exact, here's a related report on the numbers.)
The covert program in Colombia provides two essential services to the nation's battle against the FARC and a smaller insurgent group, the National Liberation Army (ELN): Real-time intelligence that allows Colombian forces to hunt down individual FARC leaders and, beginning in 2006, one particularly effective tool with which to kill them.
That weapon is a $30,000 GPS guidance kit that transforms a less-than-accurate 500-pound gravity bomb into a highly accurate smart bomb. Smart bombs, also called precision-guided munitions or PGMs, are capable of killing an individual in triple-canopy jungle if his exact location can be determined and geo-coordinates are programmed into the bomb's small computer brain.
It all began as part of the War on Drugs. Similar programs exist in other countries where "violent drug cartels have caused instability." Examples: Mexico and West Africa.
The Office of Legal Counsel signed off on the targeted assassinations/killings. [More...]

The FBI is still at it -- instigating and then foiling terror plots that would never have existed but for their prodding. The latest is in Kansas.
Quoted in the article is the excellent Topeka defense attorney Dan Monnat. Without judging this case, he says of terror stings in general:
"If the fragile mental state of an otherwise upstanding individual is exploited to commit a crime that the individual otherwise would not have taken steps to commit, how does that make us safe and why spend taxpayer money on prosecution?" Monnat said Saturday.
"If that is what happened here, we have to ask ourselves is grooming terrorists the best use of our taxpayer money for security if the person otherwise would never have taken further steps in furtherance of terrorism. What is the point?"
On a related note, once charged, the Government is likely to deny discovery to these targeted defendants claiming it is classified. [More...]

A U.S. drone in Yemen has mistakenly killed 15 civilians en route to a wedding. They were mistaken for an al Qaeda convoy.

Al Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri yesterday called for more lone wolf and other small scale attacks against the U.S. His reasoning is that even small attacks cause us to overreact with security, which is expensive and contributes to diminishing our economy.
In an audio speech released online a day after the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 strikes, Zawahri said attacks "by one brother or a few of the brothers" would weaken the U.S. economy by triggering big spending on security, SITE reported.
..."We should bleed America economically by provoking it to continue in its massive expenditure on its security, for the weak point of America is its economy, which has already begun to stagger due to the military and security expenditure," he said.
He also wants to see big strikes -- the kind that that take ten years to plan -- against the U.S.

Update: Britain has an independent reviewer of its terror legislation, David Anderson QC. He investigates and prepares reports on the legislation for submission to Parliament. Here is his latest report on terror stops at airports.
David Miranda, the partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, was detained and questioned for 9 hours at Heathrow today presumably for reasons related to Glenn's disclosure of the Edward Snowden documents. He is a Brazilian citizen who resides with Glenn in Brazil. He was detained under Schedule 7 of the 2000 Terrorism Act.
The law allows authorities to detain people at airports, border areas and ports for questioning in a terror-related investigation. Most interrogations last less than an hour, not 9. Also, police confiscated his "mobile phone, laptop, camera, memory sticks, DVDs and games consoles." There is no right to an attorney during questioning, and refusal to answer questions is a separate criminal offense.
Glenn writes in the Guardian that the detention will have the exact opposite effect of the one intended by the Government.[More...]:

Yemen expert Gregory Johnson has a fascinating article in the new Atlantic Magazine about an abandoned 8 year old in Yemen recruited as a spy to plant electronic chips on a U.S. drone target. The child, Barq al-Kulaybi , was recruited by officers of the Republican Guard, who paid his father. The father and son tell their story in a video made by al Qaida after they were caught. The father, Hafizallah al-Kulaybi, was likely killed after the video confession. Rumor has it they let the boy live but no one knows where he is.
The target of the drone strike was Adnan al-Qadhi,a military officer the U.S. believed was helping al Qaida and put on its targeted kill list. He was killed by a drone.
Johnson recounts what is on the video, which was published by al‑Malahim, in April 2013. He doesn't provide the link, but here it is on You Tube, with English subtitles. First the father confesses as Barq fidgets. Then Barq tells his story. [More...]

Update: Already being debunked. Another report on this from yesterday here.
This sounds like more "crazy pants" to me, but a new report in the Yemen Post claims that U.S. officials are saying what prompted U.S. actions in Yemen this week is concern that AQAP has developed a hard to detect liquid explosive for terror attacks:
Senior US security officials have explained that "Clothes dipped in the liquid reportedly became explosive devices when dry and might be worn by suicide attackers." Such technology would essentially turn anyone into a terror suspect and make prevention and detection a logistical nightmare.
As several media outlets wondered on Tuesday why the Pentagon had been so keen to see its nationals leave Yemen and arrange for the return home of all its non-essential diplomatic staff, in what appeared to be a security frenzy, Wednesday brought the answer, liquid explosive.
The report says the creator of the "technological breakthrough" is alleged bombmaker Ibrahim al-Asiri.

Update: Not surprisingly, Yemen backtracks, calling the report false and baseless.
Yemen authorities now say they have thwarted a major planned al Qaida attack. The attack intended to shut down Yemen's oil exports.
a spokesman for the Yemeni authorities said they had thwarted a plot to blow oil pipelines and take control of two ports in the south, responsible for the bulk of Yemen's oil exports, according to the BBC.
The plot included using al-Qaeda gunmen dressed as soldiers to infiltrate the ports and a local security source said dozens of terrorists had arrived in the capital to prepare for the attack.

Gregory Johnson, who I have been reading since his Waq al Waq blog days when AQAP announced its formation in 2009, has an article today in Foreign Policy, How Yemen Was Lost. He gives two main reasons. The second is pertains to the drone strikes, which kill al Qaeda leaders but also tribesman and civilians and are causing tremendous hostility against the U.S.:
The men that the United States is killing in Yemen are tied to the local society in a way that many of the fighters in Afghanistan never were. They may be al Qaeda members, but they are also fathers and sons, brothers and cousins, tribesmen and clansmen with friends and relatives.

POSTED: 12:33 p.m. HST, Jul 22, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 6:12 p.m. HST, Jul 22, 2013
Forensic evidence found at the scene of an Enchanted Lake fire in May led to the arrest of a 25-year-old contractor who police believe started the fire intentionally because of a dispute over work done at the Kailua home, according to police documents.
Ozane Alexander Mosley Jr., of Kapolei, was arrested and charged Friday with first-degree arson of a home that was being renovated on Kupau Street in May. He posted $100,000 bail on Friday after he was charged.
The Kailua home was vacant when the fire was reported at 10:30 p.m. May 17. Mosley was burned during an explosion that occurred when the fire was ignited.
API Corp, a real estate company that owns the home, said there was a dispute with the contractor, Honolulu Home improvement, a police statement said. The real estate company had withheld final payment of $2,500 because it believed remodeling work was sub-standard and needed to be corrected.
Ozane Mosley Jr. was doing the remodeling work, police said.
The suspect was identified by tissue, blood and human skin found after the fire was extinguished on May 17.
The samples were collected from the downstairs stairway door, door knobs, concrete pavement outside the Enchanted Lake home, door jambs, walls and door frames.
The DNA profile obtained from the samples matched those of the suspect whose information was on file because he is a convicted offender, the police statement said.
Mosely's girlfriend told police that she dropped off the suspect in Enchanted Lake on May 17 because he said he was going to spend the night at friend's house.
After she dropped Mosley off, the woman said she got a text message from her boyfriend asking her to wait since his friend may not be home.
The girlfriend parked at McDonald's restaurant in Enchanted Lake -- three blocks away from the fire site -- to wait.
A few minutes later, the woman said she saw "Mosley running towards her screaming in pain, with no shirt on, his pants smoking," the police statement said.
The woman took Mosley to Castle Medical Center for treatment.
At 11:25 p.m., a police officer responding to a report of a man being treated for burns spoke with Mosley.
The suspect told the officer that he was helping his girlfriend move when their car ran out of gas.
While refueling the vehicle, the suspect said "some of the gasoline splashed onto his face and clothing," the police statement said.
Mosley told police that "he got upset and decided to smoke a cigarette at which time he caught on fire."
Witnesses told police they saw a man running from the fire scene carrying a blue five-gallon gas can.
A blue plastic gas container was found on May 18 from below the bridge at Keolu Drive and Kupau Street, along with a green disposable lighter.
During the arson investigation, a police detective said the intruder scratched a newly installed refrigerator and kitchen cabinets, and poured an ignitable liquid on the floor of the living room and kitchen and set it on fire.
Vapors from the liquid caused an explosion when the suspect lit the fluid, police said. The pressure of the explosive force cracked a door and two walls of the Kailua home.
Mosley has been convicted five times for car theft beginning in 2007.

The High Holidays and Alan Gross: Is there a Jewish Road Out?
The High Holidays are the expression of the supreme Jewish belief in reconciliation and every individual's capacity to recognize his or her mistakes and change for the better. The Cuban government should view Alan Gross' recent statement as expressing repentance for his unconscious participation in American government sponsored regime change policies that violated Cuban sovereignty. Mr. Gross, an American Jew from Maryland, interested in civil society development was arrested in Dec. 3, 2009 by the Cuban authorities. He had gone to Cuba five times as a subcontractor of Development Alternatives Inc (DAI), a private company serving contracts awarded by the Bush Administration under the Cuba program of USAID.
The Cuba program of USAID is not a typical one. It is based on section 109 of the Helms Burton Act, legislation passed by US Congress in 1996 with the declared purpose of overthrowing the current government in Havana. The law codified all the sanctions approved against Cuba from 1959 to 1996 and it is considered by the overwhelming majority of the international community and most Cuban civil society as a violation of international law and an affront to Cuban sovereignty. The USAID programs designed under the Bush Administration are part of a regime change strategy that blocks Americans from travelling freely to Cuba while paying for a selected group of contractors to semi-covertly go to the island and support activities that seek to advance the agenda of Cuban right wing émigrés' property claims and political revenge contained in section 205 and 206 of the Helms-Burton Act.
Last July, the Cuban Supreme Court ratified Mr. Gross' sentence to fifteen years in jail by a lower court.
To make things worse, three days before the verdict, USAID returned to implementing its agenda after a year-long pause caused by Senators Kerry and Leahy. One need not be a great historian to recall the US government's track record of unabashed attempts to overthrow the Cuban government over the last fifty years. Everything from cooperation with the mafia to kill Fidel Castro to government sponsored Miami based terrorist activities against Cuban civilians has been contemplated or executed.
In fact, one doesn't need to be a historian at all to read last year's declarations of former undersecretary of State for hemispheric Affairs Roger Noriega saying that the purpose of the programs designed under the Bush Administration were to provoke "change" through "chaos" and "instability" in Cuba.
By now, the Cuban government has achieved a clear dividend with Gross' trial and sentence. Everyone is warned that whoever engages in USAID programs under the Helms-Burton Act will be treated in Cuba as a spy in enemy territory. Unfortunately the US government did not warn Alan Gross of the risks he was facing. His wife Judy Gross told Reuters, "If Alan thought something was going to happen to him in Cuba, he would not have done this. I feel he was not clearly told the risks". Recently, in his court testimony, released by his US lawyer, Mr. Gross said that he was a "trusting fool", adding that he was "duped. And my family and I have paid for this".
Last week, Ricardo Alarcon, the speaker of the Cuban National Assembly referred to Mr. Gross as a "victim" of US policy towards Cuba. Alarcon explained that Gross was "used". This recognition by the Cuban authorities is positive. Shouldn't Cuba have a humanitarian gesture towards the American people and the Gross family? Are policymakers in Havana assessing the risks of a potential complication of Alan Gross' health? Does the Cuban government have a plan B to deal with this and other issues in case the Republican Party wins the 2012 elections turning a difficult problem into an intractable one?
Let's hope that the US government helps to solve the Gross imprisonment by assuming its responsibility for the design flaws and violations of Cuban sovereignty embedded in the USAID programs and the Helms-Burton law. Repeating that Alan Gross is a "hostage" and his imprisonment is the main obstacle to improve U.S. and Cuban relations does not make it true. Worse, it will not make him free. What about the Helms-Burton law and the legacy of aggressiveness and bad faith the Bush Administration left behind? The United States should treat this issue with the dignity and maturity of a democratic superpower. This is a conflict of fifty years in which there have been prisoners and even dead and wounded, on both sides.
One thing that can help Mr. Gross is some public discussion in Washington about the semi-covert nature of the USAID program under which the Marylander went to Cuba. Is it right to involve Cuban civil society groups in US government funded programs without receiving their informed consent? Was the Bush Administration acting properly when it designed those programs with the goal expressed by its undersecretary for Hemispheric Affairs Roger Noriega of creating "chaos" and "instability" in Cuba? Is the White House ready to reciprocate a Cuban humanitarian gesture with one of its own in relation to the five Cuban agents arrested in Florida who didn't receive- according to Amnesty International and the United Nations Group on Arbitrary Detentions – a fair trial? Why not reopen Gerardo Hernandez's case and give him a trial outside Southern Florida? Why not clean the mess Bush left behind by pushing the "reset" button with Cuba as Secretary Clinton did with Russia?
Governments normally do not apologize. That said, from time to time leaders can take a religious message of reconciliation seriously. The Days of Awe are redemption opportunities. God does not forgive people who caused harm to others unless they have expressed regrets and obtain forgiveness from the grieved party. Where attempts at honest rectification are made, the grieved ones should open their heart and not behave cruelly. The Cuban and US governments must welcome the remorse of the penitents, try to understand their predicament, and give themselves the opportunity to reconcile. As Mrs. Gross implored, it is time to "turn the page on old hostilities".

About Rafting in Montana:
During the last ice age, glaciers shaped the region by carving out "U" shaped valleys between parallel mountain ridges. Through these lush river valleys flow the Forks of the Flathead River. Today the majority of the Flathead is protected by the National Wild & Scenic Rivers Act and the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wilderness Areas. Montana whitewater rafting trips are usually available from late-spring through the end of summer. You can choose a half, one, two or three day Montana whitewater rafting trip. You might even consider planning some extra time to do some hiking or backpacking in Glacier National Park.

You probably will need to play with this to make it work optimally, as differences in what you are printing, and the system and printer that you are using, tend to affect the output. In particular, you may need to modify the paint method to ensure that the printed version looks good.

Why does my mouse pointer get stuck in one place while working on my PC?
I go on my PC and after 2 mins my mouse frezzes but my keybourd works. pls help. p.s. i am on a laptop
Change the mouse and see what happens..............
Why does my external mouse get stuck and not move while AC power line connected to charger in my home and neighbor home but it works on battery mode after removing the charger ??. However, the same mouse works without any problem in my office premises located at different place. I checked supply voltage at home and found about 210 V at home 222 volt at office. The charger input voltage range is 100 to 240 VAC and output is 18.6 VDC. This charger was repaired once after getting stop to work.
I hope some one can advice to rectify this problem.
1: Your computer is being slowed down by malware. Malware includes viruses, worms, trojans, and scareware. It is basically a piece of software that is installed without your knowledge and causes trouble on your computer. The best way to take care of this is to put an antivirus on your computer. an antivirus can catch the malware before it installs itself on your computer. However, if you already have malware it is a little to late. What you can do now is to download a free program that will scan for and remove any malware that is on your computer. I would recomend these two.
Spybot Search and Destroy
Do a google search on these and you will find them very easily. Here are a couple antivirus programs that you can install on your computer to prevent this from happening again.
2: Second posibillity, your computers internals are overheating. Unless you are pretty good at computer dissasembly I would recommend that you take this to a computer repair shop to have this problem fixed. If you are good at computer dissasembly then reply to this and tell me that you can dissasemble a computer and I will walk you through that.
3: Third possibility, your computer is to old and has to much stuff loaded on it. Sometimes people try to load to much software on to old of a computer. This can be remedied by going to Start>Control Pannel>Add and Remove Programs and tell it to remove any programs that you aren't using. Make sure you know what you are removing so that you don't remove important parts of windows.
I hope this helps feel free to ask any more questions.
as HIS IS THE BEST ANSWER. on Jan 20, 2012. 5:43 PM.
I have always been using Avira anti virus, it has web guard active.
When it get's stuck I press the window key a number of time's and the mouse works normally making a beep sound.
There is no overheating of the processor. My HD is 80GB.- 1GB RAM - Processor-AMD 1470 Mhz.
My PC is very fast and I work on Photo-shop which requires a lot of memory.
I feel that the mouse is getting stuck by malware.
A complete scan does not show a single virus.
May be I should FORMAT the C Drive and reload.
Yes I can disassemble computer.
Good Luck
Problem solved.
P.S. Don't forget to amark this question as answered.
Why is the "Select as Best Answer" has not come below the answer of nurdee1
as HIS IS THE BEST ANSWER. on Jan 20, 2012. 5:43 PM.
Malware was creating all the problem. Thanks.
It could also just be time for a new mouse if it is in-particularly old.
Otherwise clean the roller ball.
And check the little rollers for X and Y

SPEAKERS: Frank Linton, Chief Scientist and Marcie Zaharee, Associate Department Head, MITRE Corporation
TOPIC: In this presentation Frank Linton and Marcie Zaharee will share the key findings of a knowledge management study conducted on behalf of a U.S. government customer. MITRE surveyed 21 organizations and interviewed nine KM practitioners in government and commercial enterprises that exhibited similarities with their government sponsor. The study focused on the characteristics of the KM organizations that participated in the research to learn how leading KM organizations approach KM efforts and how they measure success. From Frank and Marcie you'll hear how intellectual capital-producing companies implement KM, which best practices thrive in the domain, and which metrics are used to measure efficiency and value.
Dr. Frank Linton is a department Chief Scientist at The MITRE Corporation. He received his Ed. M. in Educational Technology from Harvard, and his Ed. D. in Artificial Intelligence in Education from the University of Massachusetts. Frank's dissertation work was patented and for his first 10 years at MITRE, in Bedford, he did further research in advanced instructional technologies. Since transferring to McLean Virginia in 2002, Frank has worked with MITRE's customers focusing on tools for knowledge workers.
Dr. Marcie Zaharee brings 20 years of experience in academia, defense contracting, and industry consulting to MITRE, which she joined in 2005. Following the advice of her parents to pursue every opportunity, her career path includes human resources, industrial security, information/knowledge management, intelligence analysis, systems engineering, and training management. She works to advance knowledge management in MITRE, championing efforts to support staff collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strengthening MITRE's knowledge base. In her current work as an Information Systems Engineer at MITRE's National Security Engineering Center, she is developing a controlled vocabulary, taxonomy, and thesaurus on behalf of a customer. The work will enable more efficient communication for the community of users-saving money and enhancing outcomes for the government.
Marcie has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Business Management at Western NE College, and Knowledge Management at Webster University (on Hanscom AFB, MA and has been a guest lecturer at Columbia University in NYC. Marcie holds degrees in Business Management (BS), Business Education (MS), and Computing Technology in Education (PhD).

Several readers have said I misunderstod the lyrics of the song, for which the Marine has now apologized. Listening closely again, I think I did – thanks to a much better video recording of the performance. The lyric I thought I heard and transcribed from the now-deleted YouTube video was:
"Then I hid behind the TV and locked a load in my M-16 and I blew those little girls to eternity."
But there's a tiny swear-word editing gap in the YouTube video which renders the word "little f**kers" as "little kers". In the context, I thought I heard "girls" rather than "kers." It didn't help that the sound isn't synced with the video. And so it seems the Marine is talking about blowing the son and father away, rather than the girls. My mistake. But even on this interpretation, this Marine's tale is of grabbing an innocent little girl as a human shield, and laughing maniacally as "blood sprayed between her eyes." And if you watch the video again, you'll see a broad smile flicker across the guy's face as he sings about the little girl's face being blown apart. You can read a celebration of this song over at LGF, and a much better video. (Malkin is "disgusted" that anyone be in any way offended. Smiling at the thought of a little girl's head being blown apart is fine by her.) The full lyrics are at BlackFive, which is also thrilled with the song. Money quote:
Thanks to Michael in MI for sending the lyrics and one high-freakin-larious leatherneck for writing and performing this. Holmes if they bring any scunion your way believe me, we will fire all we have.
I'm glad to correct the lyric. I'm not glad this happened. And it's hard for me to understand anyone who is. (P.S. Check out the posting in the second trackback of my first post.)

Tips On Buying a Fingerprint Safe
Fingerprint safe, biometric safe, fingerprint reader...whatever you want to call it, what I'm referring to when I use anyone of these monikers is a gun safe that can be opened when the rightful owner of the unit swipes their finger across the safe's scanner. High tech, I know, but with every year that goes by, biometrics technology gets better and better, and of course, cheaper and cheaper. You still pay a pretty penny for a gun safe that you can open with your pinky, but it's a lot better than it was a couple years ago.Read More
Understanding the Scanner On A Fingerprint Gun Safe
When purchasing a fingerprint gun safe (biometric fingerprint gun safe), there are several elements to consider. Thickness, capacity, dimensions...these are all characteristics that are pretty easy to grasp. But when dealing with biometric gun safe locks, terms like 'minutiae' and 'algorithm adjustments' start to cloud up the water a bit. Take GunVault for example - they say that their MiniVault safe "has a very low False Reject Rate (FRR) for a given False Accept Rate (FAR)". Ok, so what does that mean, fella? Is this something I should be concerned with, or is it just marketing gibberish? Well, it's a little bit of both.Read More

The Dundee Bistro Restaurant Review: The Ponzi family is known for their Willamette Valley wines, and they've made their mark on the food scene, too, with The Dundee Bistro. It's a reasonably-priced and family-friendly alternative to the area's costly, adult-focused restaurants, yet offers Pacific Northwest cuisine sophisticated enough to stand up to fine wines. The kitchen takes advantage of the region's abundance of wild mushrooms, fish from Oregon or Washington waters, seasonal berries, locally crafted cheeses, and regionally raised chicken, pork and lamb. Salads are imaginative, such as one with beignets, cauliflower, smoked ham, pickled peppers and arugula with an aïoli dressing. Among pizzas is a version featuring a roasted red grape gremolata, bacon and blue cheese, while garganelli combines Oregon bay shrimp, oysters, mushrooms and cream. On a simpler note, try the beer-battered cod and truffle fries or a burger made with grass-fed beef. The prix-fixe menu ($25 for three courses) is a value, and options for children go way beyond mac 'n' cheese. The wine selection is extensive, emphasizing, but by no means limited to, Oregon Pinot Noirs. Sixteen wines are offered by the glass, poured at the table into Riedel glasses. Outdoor dining is delightful on warm, sunny days.

I decided to buy and use this product to figure out if it is a match for my hair type. I'm sure the product works for others and is amazing. I did not experience that with my hair. The reasons could be: my hair is color treated, dry, wavy, course, etc. Maybe I need a stronger detangler and leave-in-conditioner. The actual product felt sticky and watery to me. It smelled good. It was a good detangler but mediocre leave-in-conditioner. I will not be repurchasing. I used the whole bottle and will pass.

I really love this as a detangler. On days where my hair is really stubborn, this really works wonders on helping me comb out my hair really easily. A little bit goes a long way, which I really appreciate since this stuff is not cheap. It also has a very pleasant smell and the texture as well. it doesn't leave any residue in my hair, so it never feels waxy or funky after drying. The only thing that gets me down about this product is that my curls aren't as bouncy when I use this as I feel like it weighs them down just a bit. I still love it as it has saved me so much time and frustration in detangling my hair!

This just doesn't have nearly enough moisture for my dry, porous, 2b-2c hair when used as a leave-in. The ingredients are CG but very minimal - just one or two very light moisturizers and a handful of fruit extracts that I suspect are there solely to impart fragrance and give it a "natural" aura. I've repurposed it as a second-day refresher, used in tiny dabs in places where my hair seems to need a little moisture boost, and it works OK for that purpose. But any thin conditioner would do so, so it doesn't make sense to pay 12 bucks for this when Suave Naturals and V05 conditioners are so much less expensive and more readily available at drugstores.

Not sure why sooo many people rave about this product. I have 3b hair. I've tried it so many ways - as a leave in, as a styler, as a detangler, and it just doesn't work. It leaves the grossest filmy residue on my hair, and it does nothing for frizz. The only way I've found this product to work for me is as an edge control. I will use it to slick down my hair for buns and other updos, and it works great for that. I definitely would not purchase again.

I'm giving this review pretty early, but I've had this leave-in for about a week. I've used it 3 times, twice after washing and once on my dry ends.
My hair is fine, porous, 2b/2c waves/ringlets. The instructions say to rinse out this conditioner as a wavy, but this is an amazing leave-in, if it's used under styling products. I use maybe a nickel amount in my thin brastrap length hair after I use the Cantu For Natural Hair Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream. I rake this product through my hair and somehow my waves still clump. This has never happened with another conditioner, I usually have to squish in water to get clumps. I'm able to choose a part and then apply other products. My waves start higher when I use this as my leave-in (above my ears, close to the root instead of below my ears) even if I don't diffuse.
The con to this leave-in is that it has to be applied under styling cremes or gels, or the definition disappears after my hair dries. It doesn't work for wash and go for my hair type.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this conditioner so far and will update my review if I change my mind.

I have confused hair, from baby fine waves to coarse spirals, all of it thick and prone to dryness. This leave in is one of the few products I've found that simply moisturizes my hair without leaving greasy spots (in the fine areas) or dry frizzy sections (in the coarse areas). A generous quarter size amount worked into everything below the shoulders makes my hair soft and workable.
Also used this as a deep conditioning treatment after another product left my hair looking like an unruly bale of hay. It turned prickly hay back into hair :)

I love this product!
I have hair that is wavy/curly (but mainly wavy) and I spent years of my life frying it with the GHDs. My hair hasn't been growing properly and I'm trying to embrace my natural waves and stop frying my hair in an attempt to make it healthy.
My hair is DRY. And i have tried every product out there to make it soft and moisturised again. You name it I've tried it. From high end products to high street.
I am trying to limit the silicones I use on my hair, and so came across this on a curly hair forum.
Its amazing. it detangles my hair like a dream- which is its main purpose, and leaves it with just enough moisture so as not to weigh down my hair! It also smells DIVINE.
I follow up with some curl cream and if I feel like i need it the Perfectly polished from the Kinky Curly range- which oh my god smells amazing too! The whole line is great!
My only complaint is that I wish it was easier to come by in the UK! Thank god for Curly Emporium!

This product is beloved in the curly hair communities, but after using it on and off for a few years, I'm really not seeing the appeal. I'll describe my hair and routine, then share my thoughts on the product.
I have a ton of hair, and it's composed of curls that are somewhere around 2c or 3a. I'm prone to frizz and poor curl definition (despite minimal shampooing and copious moisturizing), especially on the canopy. My current post-shower routine is Haus of Gloi's hair oil applied copiously, Kinky Curly Knot Today (maybe a nickel- or quarter-sized squirt?), then I finish off with Kinky Curly Curling Custard. I dry my hair in braids to minimize frizz and keep it from going "poof."
Knot Today is off-putting to me straight out of the bottle because it is moderately scented like a bright, fruity tropical drink (minus the booze, of course). A lot of people seem to like scented hair products, but personally, anything sickly sweet like this interferes with my perfume. Strike one. But more importantly, this product doesn't really seem to do... anything. Certainly not enough to justify the price. When I introduced it to my routine, I noticed my hair started feeling a little smoother, but that's about it. I didn't notice any real performance changes, improvement in my curl definition, or anything else. I'm delighted it works for a lot of people, but I'm not one of them.

LOVE IT. Always in the rotation. Years in the rotation. One of the best leave in conditioners I've ever tried and I've tried a LOT. Quarter size dollop in my curly hair when wet then comb through with a detangler, add styling cream and/or gel. Perfect every time. No learning curve like kccc

I logged on to makeupalley last night to write a very negative review of this product but changed my mind between last night and this morning!
I bought it as a pre-poo during the summer because the coconut oil I usually use was getting a bit heavy for my hair and not absorbing as it did during the colder months. I didn't like it as a detangler/pre-poo. For my preferences, it does not have enough slip, I don't feel like it gives my hair any added moisture and doesn't condition it. I do like the smell though. I started to use it to detangle in a spray bottle with water, and that worked a little better, but still wasn't great.
Last night I decided to finish the bottle and went to detangle again; diluted in water. Unfortunately I ran out of time and wasn't able to wash it out the way I usually do so I just tied it up and went to sleep. This morning when I woke up BAM!! Gorgeous curls! Looks just like my hair on wash day (5 hour process). So I think I will use it as a midweek curl refresher until I finish the bottle.I really wanted to loveeeee this product based on the amazing reviews. I find it odd that my hair didn't respond to it because my curls really aren't that picky and take to new product pretty easily. But for the price and my results I don't think I will repurchase (I'll stick to my first love)

Metro Atlanta ANAC Chapter
(Last Updated 2005)
On September 21, 1992, seven nurses in Atlanta voted to seek charter as a local chapter of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC). After meeting the Local Chapter Charter Application submission criteria, the founding members submitted the application to ANAC's national office on August 23, 1993. The geographic scope of the new chapter included metro Atlanta and counties within a 50-mile radius. The charter indicates that the chapter was being formed because of an increasing interest by nurses in the community to "pool their resources to benefit HIV infected persons and facilitate communication between each other." The founding officers are listed as Fran Yogev, President; Christine Turner, President-elect; Barbara Correro, Treasurer; and Mary Pittman, Secretary. However, in July 1993, Fran Yogev resigned as president due to personal reasons and when the charter application was submitted, Christine Turner had assumed the responsibilities of president. Other founding members listed in the original charter include Kathy Midlleton, Metta Johnson, and Betty Mear. Local dues were set at $10 per year and meetings were scheduled for the second Monday of each month.
The chapter has attempted to archive chapter meetings and activities, however, most of the early records that are held by the chapter focus more on ANAC's national activities than on the local chapter. According to the records that are available, in 1994, the Metro Atlanta chapter included a total of 27 members – 25 active and 2 associate. Christine Turner continued to serve as president. Troy Spicer served as president in 1995 and during that year a letter was sent from Atlanta's Mayor, Bill Campbell, to the national office of ANAC extending an invitation for our fair city to host the annual convention.
From 1996 and into 1997, Rose Campbell served as president. In 1996, the board members increased the local chapter dues to $20 and it has remained at that level ever since. Virginia (Ginny) Lipke was the 1997-1998 president. Ginny developed an ACRN certification guide for chapter members and the first Atlanta review course for the ACRN certification exam was provided in 1998. Since the inception of our chapter, educational meetings that provide updates on the latest research findings and guidelines of HIV care have been offered to members.
The president of the chapter for 1998-1999 was Hermeyone Hunter. Other officers included Laura Gallagher, Vice President; Gail Kropf, Treasurer; and Rosemary Donnelly, Secretary. In 1999, our chapter began to consistently hold educational dinner meetings every even numbered month and board meetings every odd numbered month. At the educational dinner meetings, the first 15 minutes is dedicated to business and then a presentation on a HIV related topic is presented. Under Hermeyone's leadership the chapter established the nominations, education, and membership committees. The chapter also organized its first local HIV/AIDS conference for health care professionals. The conference, entitled HIV/AIDS: Keeping Up in the 21st Century, was held on October 18, 1999 at St. Joseph's Hospital. At ANAC's National Conference, one of our local members, Laura Gallagher, received the ANAC Master's Fellowship in HIV Nursing Award.
The officers for 2000 were Laura Gallagher, President; Rosemary Donnelly, President-elect; Ed Chitty, Secretary; Gail Kropf, Treasurer; and Paul Robinson, Director-at Larger. Ginny Lipke again offered the ACRN certification review course for interested members. In 2000, the chapter partnered with the Southeast AIDS Education and Training Center (SEATEC) to hold the annual conference. The title for that year's conference was Shifting Sands: Challenges, Controversies, and Care in HIV. This conference was held on September 29 at St. Joseph's Hospital. The board voted in 2000 to financially support one of the leadership positions to attend ANAC's National Conference. This decision was made on the premise that by attending the conference, a lot can be learned about the day-to-day running of the local chapter. At the National Conference, the chapter received the 2000 Over the Rainbow Campaign Award for recruiting 3 new members and reaching the Chapter Yellow 1 level. The final accomplishment during 2000 was the revision of the local bylaws so that they would be in accordance with the national standards.
In 2001, the board members included Rosemary Donnelly, President; Paul Robinson, President-elect; Ed Chitty, Secretary; Gloria Carusi, Treasurer; and Dirk LeFlore, Director-at-Large. During Rosemary's presidency our chapter developed its first strategic plan and budget. The plan was presented to other chapters as a model. Our chapter continues to update the strategic plan and budget annually. The third local annual conference was again co-sponsored by the Metro Atlanta ANAC chapter and SEATEC. The conference was entitled Spotlight on HIV: The Second Wave and it was held on October 12 at St. Joseph's Hospital. Recognizing that community service and advocacy as a group are important aspects of our mission, our chapter established the Community Services Committee in 2001. Through this committee, the chapter supported a nonprofit organization called the Regional Organization of Camping and Kids, Inc. (the ROCK). The ROCK is a free, recreational camping program for children who are infected and affected by HIV. Our chapter supported this organization by printing information about them in our newsletter, making announcements about the ROCK at our meetings, encouraging members to volunteer for their first camp that was to be held that summer, and by raising $1400.00 through a silent auction at our 2001 conference. This was also the first year that the chapter started to give away a free National and Local ANAC membership to current members at each dinner meeting. That year our chapter submitted an application to National for the Chapter Recognition Award, which, unfortunately, another chapter received.
The board members for 2002 were Paul Robinson, President; Mary Lynn Purcell, President-elect; Hermeyone Hunter, Secretary; Gloria Carusi, Treasurer; Glenda Smith, Director-at-Large. In 2002, we retained 34 members and recruited 7 new members for a total of 41 active members. Even though our chapter was not officially chartered until 1993, the chapter celebrated its 10-year anniversary and an event that featured Lucy Bradley-Springer, ANAC's National President, as the guest speaker was held. During 2002, the chapter created an email group that for the purposes of improving communication. The community services committee continued to be quite active in 2002. ANAC members were represented at the Rock's second summer camp for HIV infected /affected children, assisted at a local National HIV Testing Day event, participated in a fund raiser for the Grady pediatric HIV/AIDS clinic, and held a food drive for a local community based organization. An application for the Chapter Recognition Award was submitted again in 2002 and that year our chapter successfully obtained the award.
In 2003 the President for our chapter was Mary Lynn Purcell and the President –elect was Carla Johnson. Other officers included Wilmer McWilliams, Secretary; Rodney Fox, Treasurer; and Hermeyone Hunter, Director-at-Large. In addition to the officers, other board members who served included Andrea Jefferson-Saboor, Community Service Chair; Ericka Patrick, Nominations Chair; and Rosemary Donnelly, Membership Chair. During that year we retained 41 active members and recruited 4 new members. Our membership chair, Rosemary Donnelly, received the 2003 ACRN of the Year Award at the National Convention. Our chapter members continued again to be active in community service events such as National HIV Testing Day events, staffing PLWHA lounges at conference that were held in the Atlanta area, staffing the infirmary at the Rock, and hosting another food drive for a local community based organization. In 2003, members from our chapter obtained unrestricted grant funds to support an educational program on HIV that was designed to target nurses working in local hospital emergency departments (ED). The purpose of the program was to update ED nurses on current methods for diagnosing and treating HIV. Also in 2003, our members began serving as preceptors for nursing students from local universities.
Carla Johnson was the chapter's President in 2004. The other board members included Barbara Blake, President-elect; Wilmer McWilliams, Secretary; Gloria Carusi, Treasurer; and Ericka Patrick, Director at Large. During 2004 we retained our 2003 members and added 7 new members. The chapter members who developed the ED curriculum, Hermeyone Hunter and Andrea Jefferson- Saboor, began implementing the program at hospitals throughout the Atlanta area. To measure the effectiveness of the program, several ANAC members developed a research study using a repeated measures design. Preliminary findings from the program were submitted in an abstract to the National Convention and it was accepted as a poster presentation. Also in 2004, our chapter partnered with SEATEC to provide an ACRN Certification Review Course. Twenty participants from across the state attended. Members continued to serve as preceptors for nursing students and participate in community service activities. At the December 2004 meeting, members donated toiletries for a local organization that provides housing for women living with HIV. Our members were active not only at the local level, but also the national level. Hermeyone Hunter began serving as a Director at Large for the HIV/AIDS National Certification Board (HANCB) in 2004 and she volunteered to serve as a member of the Scope and Standards Committee. Rosemary Donnelly facilitated a strategic planning session with the Chesapeake Bay Chapter using our original strategic planning meeting as her model.
The board members for 2005 are Barbara Blake, President; Donna Chambers, President-elect; Laura Carter-Williams, Secretary; Gloria Carusi, Treasurer; and Marie Todd-Turner, Director-at Large. The chapter continues to implement the ED Program and as of June 2005, the program has been provided at 5 emergency departments in the Atlanta metropolitan area and 52 ED have nurses participated. One of our chapter members, Mary Lynn Purcell, was nominated by her patients and selected by theBody.com as one of 73 outstanding professionals and inspiring people with HIV. In 2005 we have six dinner meetings scheduled for our members and have provided community service by assisting at a local National HIV Prevention Day event and staffing the PLWHA lounge at the 6ht Annual African American Outreach Imitative (AAOI). Three ANAC members also volunteered to conduct a yearlong research study for the AAOI task force. The purpose of the study is to assess the long-term effectiveness of the program content on the participants overall health and well-being. The findings from this study will be used by the task force to maintain their current funding stream and to solicit other resources.
Hopefully, these few pages have provided you with some insight into our chapter's history. It has not always been an easy path, but we are proud of our 13-year history and of the hard work and dedication from our members that has contributed to our chapter's success.

This special issue is driven by the recognition that the strategies that have been studied and successfully implemented in general populations may not take into account the unique circumstances and special environments that support or deter active living in underserved, and routinely understudied, communities. One cross-cutting theme throughout the issue is safety concerns related to crime.
Writing in an introductory article, Active Living Research in Diverse and Disadvantaged Communities, the Guest Editors of the issue state that ...the articles included in this special issue support a conclusion that we need to reclaim our open areas, streets, and parks for play, active recreation, and active transportation. The research reported here provides some initial direction for creating community environments and policies that will support and encourage diverse populations, even those from disadvantaged communities, to live active and healthy lives.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundations Active Living Research Program focuses on the prevention of childhood obesity in low-income and high-risk racial/ethnic communities by supporting research to examine how environments and policies influence active living for children and their families. This agenda has advanced transdisciplinary research among researchers from exercise science, public health, transportation, urban planning, architecture, recreation and leisure studies, landscape architecture, geography, economics, policy studies, and education to inform environmental and policy changes that promote active living among Americans.
In Keeping Our Promise to Americas Youth, Kathy J. Spangler of Americas Promise Alliance writes, The emerging work of the Active Living Research Program is likely to contribute to addressing the broader social and environmental justice issues affecting children and families in low-income and high-risk racial/ethnic communities.

Mike Graham: Football coaches know spring plants fall success
Growing up in Indiana, basketball was such a big part of the small town of Washington where I lived.
How big — you can fit most of the town (10,000) in the public school's gym (capacity 7,100). But Washington is no different from any town in the Hoosier state, one that takes great pride in its rich basketball heritage.
I think it's fair to say that basketball in Indiana means every bit as much as what football does here in Florida.
So, with the start of spring football practice on Tuesday, it makes me wonder how much better the basketball would be if the Indiana High School Athletic Association allowed coaches to hold out-of-season practices like the Florida High School Athletic Association does for football for 20 days in May?
Not only do Florida high school football players get an edge over those in many other states with nearly three weeks of practice time and a spring game, but the opportunity to showcase their talents to the college recruiters who will invade the state this month — especially the blue-chip players — is priceless.
Dave Vercillo, a longtime John Carroll High School head football coach who will return to the sidelines this fall to help out new Golden Rams coach Mike Watkins, said spring football practice "from the coach's point of view is everything."
"It is the beginning," said Vercillo, who retired as John Carroll's head coach in 1999. "You get to look at kids you haven't seen before, and there is a lot of teaching that goes on.
"It kick-starts the players into their summer workouts."
Vercillo, who is one of area's all-time winningest coaches (75 wins in 16 years at John Carroll), said spring practice is a time where coaches install all kinds of "new stuff" but at the same time there is an urgency to get as much work done as possible.
"You have to keep up with the Joneses," said Vercillo, an ESE teacher at White City Elementary in St. Lucie County. "If you don't take (spring practice) seriously, you are going to be way behind."
As for the college recruiters, Vercillo said they are looking for a commitment from players much earlier than they did in his day as a head coach.
"Now," Vercillo said, "(colleges) don't want commitments from players in December or January, they want them in September. It has become so competitive in the recruitment of the better players and to see them in the spring is very important."
With spring football practice firing up all across the Treasure Coast, the countdown starts to the 2012 season for area teams on Aug. 31 — just 122 days away.

Bicycling and hiking in northwest Oregon, 2006
Page 1: Columbia River Gorge and biking to Seaside
Page 2: Biking from Seaside to Cape Meares
Page 3: Museums, Forest Park, and Mount Saint Helens
Friday, September 1
After driving west all day yesterday, Kathy, Daniel and I are in Oregon for our last big vacation of the year. When our friends Randy and Sara moved out to Hillsboro earlier this year, we saw an opportunity to combine visiting them with biking and hiking. The Columbia River Gorge has many good hiking trails, and I've been wanting to bike along the Oregon coast. I'd love to pedal the coast with our camping gear and camp in the parks and forests, but with Daniel in a trailer we just can't pull that much weight up the steep hills. Instead, this will be our 1st bike trip using hotels and resorts. We plan to bike for 3 to 4 days, staying in resorts along the coast. Randy and Sara are helping us keep the cost down by letting us stay in resorts owned by their vacation property club.
We've spent today recovering from our drive, and we'll go on our first hike tomorrow. Randy and Sara's son Evan is about Daniel's age and they have been playing together in the house.
Evan and Daniel playing in the television cabinet.
Daniel playing with balls in the pool.
Saturday, September 2
All six of us squeezed into Randy and Sara's Buick for a drive up to the Columbia River Gorge today. 80 miles of the gorge is designated a National Scenic Area, and hiking trails lead up to the many waterfalls that feed into the river. We hiked a loop that took us past the large Multnomah and Wahkeena Falls, plus many smaller waterfalls. Multnomah Falls is the tallest waterfall in the gorge at 620 feet tall.
Evan, Kathy and Daniel all squeezed into Randy and Sara's Buick.

Lower Multnomah Falls.
This was a hot day in Hillsboro - over 90 degrees - so we were happy to be out hiking in the gorge. A strong breeze blew there all day (as is typical,) and that combined with mist from the waterfalls and shade from the big trees kept us cool. In the lower, western gorge where we were the forest is very green from moss on the trees and from the ferns and other plants that cover the ground. The eastern gorge is much drier and looks more like the dry foothills that we hike in Colorado.
After getting back to Hillsboro tonight we did a lot of cooking, eating and packing. In the morning we'll bike out of town and over the coastal mountains to the ocean.

Sunday, September 3
Distance: 71.9 miles
Riding time: 5 hours, 37 minutes
Average speed: 12.7 mph
Maximum speed: 41.1 mph
We didn't get started as early as we hoped, but shortly after 8 a.m. we were on our bike and riding to Seaside, the oldest and most popular oceanside resort town in Oregon. Randy and Sara stayed behind in the morning to pack and go to church, and they met us in Seaside in the afternoon.
Most of our route was along highway 26, which I inquired about at a bike shop on Friday. The advice I got was that 26 is curvy, high traffic, high speed, has little to no shoulder, and is much too dangerous for a bicycle. We rode it anyway, and it wasn't too bad. The road is not very curvy and it has good shoulders for most of its length. One place that it doesn't have shoulders is in a narrow tunnel. We walked through the tunnel on a narrow sidewalk, with the traffic echoing very loudly and the honking horns echoing even louder. The noise and darkness upset Daniel, but we picked him up and calmed him down right afterwards.

A pretty log home on the Necanicum River.
This ride exhausted all our energy - I think we were already worn down from our hike yesterday. At least the weather was good, with clear skies and cool air over the coastal mountains. As we finished the final 3 or 4 miles to the coast the clear skies were replaced by an afternoon fog from the ocean. During one fast descent today I heard a loud noise on the pavement and Kathy yelled, "Daniel lost his ball!" He figured out how to push his plastic ball out through a gap in the fabric around his trailer. He had a HUGE grin on his face. I walked back a few hundred yards to recover the ball, but I knew better than to hand it back to him.
We arrived at the beach at 3:45 p.m. and Randy and Sara arrived about 15 minutes later. We're sharing a 3-bedroom suite in their resort. Kathy and I have never vacationed in resorts, and it feels like complete luxury compared to sleeping in our tent - beds! A full kitchen! Outdoor hot tubs! A balcony overlooking the beach! Perhaps best of all, Daniel is sleeping in a crib in his own room and he should be well rested by tomorrow. Daniel doesn't sleep well in our tent.
Daniel and Evan loved playing on the beach and in the surf this afternoon even though the ocean water is very cold. Back when Daniel was 3 months old he hated cold water, even the relatively warm Colorado River near Moab, but these days cold doesn't bother him.
Douglas Pass may not be high altitude, but it was a lot of work to cross.

Exclusive new video unveiled from Molokai plane crashUPDATED 7:49 PM HST Jan 09, 2014
The crash off Molokai that killed State health director Loretta Fuddy is captured in chilling detail by a passenger who was on board. KITV4's Brenton Awa has more on this new exclusive video.Video Transcript
A plane crash that's both deadly and dramatic... And tonight.. A RARE look at the MOMENT OF IMPACT... Good evening, I'm Yunji De Nies. And I'm Paula Akana. The crash off Molokai that killed State health director Loretta Fuddy is captured in chilling detail by a passenger who was ON BOARD! ABC News obtained the video and ONLY KITV is authorized to show it .. KITV-4's Brenton Awa joining us now with the EXCLUSIVE. Paula -- the person that shot the video has opened up to the media today... This Go Pro video was shot by passenger -- Ferdinand Puentes just as the plane hit the water... Look at this again... Puentes hangs on to his camera right here and you can see the white wash outside as the plane touches down. The video goes on to show the passengers exiting the plane -- going into the water. And once outside you can see some of the passengers hanging on to the wing of the Cessna Caravan Lets go to some photo's Puentes took -- this is a closeup of him with the Cessna in the background... and here -- you can see him holding on to a floatation device with another passenger floating a ways behind him. They're roughly a half-a-mile from the Kalaupapa shoreline. The National Transportation Safety Board says the plane floated for 25-minutes before it sank. The Makani Kai plane was heading from Kalaupapa to Honolulu early last month when it's engine lost power. The pilot -- Clyde Kawasaki PULLED OFF an emergency water landing and was able to get all 8-passengers that were on board -- off of the plane -- including Loretta Fuddy. The late State Health Director was found unresponsive when rescue crews reached her 80-minutes later. We're still waiting for the medical examiner's report on exactly what killed Director Fuddy. The NTSB is still investigating the cause of the engine failure. The full story video exclusive will be on Good Morning America tomorrow. And coming up later tonight on KITV4 at 10 -- we'll hear from Ferdinand Puentes. Yunji -- Back to
