Scott Horton Interviews Eric Margolis
This interview is excerpted from Scott Horton's January 7th guest host appearance on KPFK's Daily Briefing radio show. The full show is here.
Internationally syndicated columnist Eric Margolis discusses the infighting between intelligence agencies trying to deflect blame for the Detroit "underbomber," the inordinate number of innocent civilians killed in predator drone missile strikes, the resonance of Osama bin Laden's message with opponents of US imperialism and why the US would be wise to remember the phrase "He who defends everything defends nothing."
MP3 here. (18:01)
Eric S. Margolis is an award-winning, internationally syndicated columnist. His articles appear in the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, the Los Angeles Times, Times of London, the Gulf Times, the Khaleej Times and Dawn. He is a regular columnist with the Quebecor Media Company and a contributor to The Huffington Post. He appears as an expert on foreign affairs on CNN, BBC, France 2, France 24, Fox News, CTV and CBC.
As a war correspondent Margolis has covered conflicts in Angola, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique, Sinai, Afghanistan, Kashmir, India, Pakistan, El Salvador and Nicaragua. He was among the first journalists to ever interview Libya's Muammar Khadaffi and was among the first to be allowed access to KGB headquarters in Moscow. A veteran of many conflicts in the Middle East, Margolis recently was featured in a special appearance on Britain's Sky News TV as "the man who got it right" in his predictions about the dangerous risks and entanglements the US would face in Iraq.
Margolis is the author of War at the Top of the World: The Struggle for Afghanistan, Kashmir and Tibet and American Raj: Liberation or Domination?: Resolving the Conflict Between the West and the Muslim World.
11 Responses to "Eric Margolis"
Eric Margolis says the French are "insubordinate", but how can he make this claim? Is he aware that Sarkozy – the Parisian neo-con- just brought the French military under NATO control and sent troops to Afghanistan? He also appointed Pro-American interventionist Bernard Kouchner as Foreign minister.
Margolis also claims that "we supervised ethnic cleansing in Iraq" whereas "we intervened to stop ethnic cleansing" in the Balkans". Was that really the reason we went to war in the Balkans?
Not convinced by this interview.
It would be great to hear Victor Thorn interviewedl. He has last week, written at some length about involvement of Mossad in the accused attempt to set off a bomb on the plane to Detroit on Christmas Day. Thanks.
I am responding to the headline; Empire Knows NO Limits, which is patently TRUE, and Empire Building is still going on for BLOODYISRAEL. Rahmie, the ZIONISTWHORE, Biden, Chertoff, LIEberman, …………all the $$$$$$$ people, and stinkingly we know who they are on WALLSTREETBANKSTERS!!!!!!! O-bought-ma is bought by these 'people'?, and Rahmie is the keeper of the Resident who is BOOOOOOOSHE's third term.
Well Rose Hunter,
Let's not oversimplifly. Absolutely, many of the current conflicts have been urged on (if not instigated) by prominent Israelis and their North American kindred. And indeed, if you look at both of the mainstream parties in the US, they are thoroughly captured by a particular ethnic group.
However, let's not be overly reductionist about this. There are other interests at stake. Oil, military-industrial, etc. The unfortunate thing is that they seem to have common cause on the empire front, while joe public hasn't caught on.
I am responding to the headline; Empire Knows NO Limits, which is patently TRUE, and Empire Building is still going on for BLOODYISRAEL.

Look to the Mossad and the Zionist in the White House for who is controlling whom. I remember the attack on the U.S.S Liberty in 1967 by the Israeli S—ts. Only can hope that a certain country will nuke them.
Yes, Jim there are lots of other 'interests' being served here, of course I know that, but when you do simpiify the mess, it does boil down to this particular ethnic group's many tentacles, 'understandings' , formal agreements, etc. The 1%ers look around for investment that will return $$$$$$, that's the ZIONIST EMPIRE GROWNING.
I'm with you Eddie, never forget for a moment that this little squirley group sabatoges the USofBLOODYISRAEL. Liberty was only one instance, lets' see the UN headquarters in Gaza………………the recent aid convoy,
Fully support Marina'a observation. Eric Margolis is still captive of the "good" and "bad" imperial missions, the imaginary confrontation of "republicans" vs. "democrats', and other illusions.
Sarkozy represents the win of neocons in France, and once they took the reigns of power, France was quickly and quietly integrated into the Empire. French may be insubordinate, if that means that they are free thinkers, and will not go along easily with propaganda. True. The lesson of France is the follows: once one clique takes power, may be hard to dislodge it.
Margolis was speaking from the perspective of a right-wing nutjob when he called the French "insubordinate." He was just saying that the reason the French are hated among "conservatives" is because they don't sit and roll over on command.
But maybe that's all changed, as you point out, in which case Hannity and friends can maybe go back to eating french fries and drinking French wine.

Underwear models are brave guys, showing off pretty much all their skin, but sometimes skin just gets boring. When done well, intricate and beautifully tattooed models can really make a photo shoot pop. As we aim to always bring the best of the best, we've compiled what we would say are the underwear industry's top 10 hottest tattooed models.
Check out our top 10 tattooed models in underwear below, and let us know what you think. Are there any others you thought should've made the list?
#10 in our hottest tattooed models: Luiz Vieira
Luiz Vieira caught our eye in a photo shoot with photographer Eduardo Fiorindo, where he showed off his awesome lotus flower chest and arm piece.
#9 in our hottest tattooed models: Adam Almqvist
Adam Almqvist showed off his tats in an Andrew Weir photo shoot. Wouldn't that "Pow!" tattoo go great with Pump's Boom boxer brief?
#8 in our hottest tattooed models: Boray Kocoz
Blue-eyed stunner Boray Kocoz got stylish with both his tattoos and Emporio Armani's white boxer brief in this photo shoot with Martijn Smouter.
#7 in our hottest tattooed models: Caue Amaral
Caue Amaral knows he's red hot, and he absolutely proved it in this photo shoot with Dudu Lima. The Brazilian bad boy has some pretty cool tats, no?
#6 in our hottest tattooed models: Daniel Bamdad
Daniel Bamdad looks like a total rockstar in this photo shoot with Simona Pavan, and don't the tattoos just totally fit the look?
#5 in our hottest tattooed models: Diego Fragoso
Felix Mercedes captured Diego Fragoso brilliantly in this photo shoot, capturing every aspect of his tattooed side. The sneakers are pretty cool too, no?
#4 in our hottest tattooed models: David Beckham
Coming in at #4 is the underwear mogul and model himself, Mr. David Beckham, who looks great in his tattoos as well as his underwear, which makes sense… since he has his own brand.
#3 in our hottest tattooed models: James Quaintance
James Quantance modeled for Pull-in in this awesome photo shoot. It looks like the whole thing was shot in front of a wrinkly blue sheet… but aren't those tattoos awesome?
#2 in our hottest tattooed models: Nick Youngquest
Nick Youngquest has some awesome tattoos. Interestingly enough, the one under his right pec is Spanish for "Look." How could he not catch your eye with underwear and tattoos like that?
#1 in our hottest tattooed models: Stuart Reardon
Topping our list off at #1 is Stuart Reardon. This tribal tattooed model is featured amazing photo shoots with Gilles Crofta and the above photo shoot with Thomas Synnamon.
Any others you thought should've made out top 10? Let us know in the comments below!

3 Day Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
So many weight loss programs and dieting systems date back several decades. Apparently, people have been battling the bulge for many years. Take a look at the 3 Day Diet plan. This specific system first hit the weight loss scene back in 1985. It basically aims to promote fast weight reduction, lower cholesterol levels, boost the user's energy, and even cleanse the body to some extent. What makes the 3 Day Diet plan unique is that it really lasts for three days at a time. Once the three days have passed, the user enjoys four or five days of "normal or regular" eating, but then the diet plan resumes.
Like so many other weight loss programs today, there is no fitness or exercise regimen involved with the 3 Day Diet plan. Potentially users can drop up to a whopping 10 pounds within the three day period. Although there is a specific eating plan for this program, dieters are directed not to overeat or under-eat. To elaborate a little more, the first daily meal consists of: day one breakfast (half of a grapefruit, one piece of toast with peanut butter, and black coffee or tea) lunch (one piece of toast, one half can of tuna, and one cup of tea or black coffee), and dinner (one cup of carrots, one cup of vanilla ice cream, one cup of green beans, one apple, and three ounces of chicken/lean meat). While day two and three vary some with the foods, the portions pretty much stay the same. Other than these foods, users are to consume four cups of water each day.
Product Features
The 3 Day Diet plan is one of several weight loss systems that involves the consumption of specific foods. While there are no supplements or exercise routines involved with this program, dieters are directed to follow a specific meal plan for three days at a time. Even though 4-5 days are taken off in between dieting sessions, the 3 Day Diet can carry on indefinitely to encourage fat reduction. Ideally this diet should increase the dieter's energy, help with fat burning, cleanse the body, and lower cholesterol levels. There is no clinical research to support the effectiveness of the 3 Day Diet plan.
- There are no potentially harmful diet drugs involved with the 3 Day Diet.
- Dieters only have to commit to this weight loss program for three days at a time.
- There are no success stories presented on an official website for the 3 Day Diet.
- It's unclear how this program will cleanse the body, lower cholesterol levels and boost the user's energy since no clinical studies are provided.
- There are no fat burning supplements or appetite suppressants utilized with the 3 Day Diet plan.
In some respects, it appears that the 3 Day Diet is somewhat of an 80s "fad diet plan." On the upside, this weight loss program does encourage the consumption of water, vegetables and lean meats, however, there is no exercise encouraged with the 3 Day Diet. This may work as a red flag for some dieters. Furthermore, there is no clinical data or trials offered to support the overall effectiveness of this weight loss plan.

Dr. Joel Wallach starts the show today discussing the death of comedian and actor Robin Williams. Asserting that in his opinion Williams was probably on prescription drugs for depression. Contending that these drugs have long been associated with suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Citing several of the mass shootings in recent years in which all of the perpetrators were on these same drugs.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article concerning a study of injurious falls in older people. The Swedish study found that people older than 65 taking commonly prescribe drugs are more likely to have falls that leave them injured. Men and women taking opioid pain killers as well as men taking antidepressants were more than twice as likely to have a fall injury. Women taking antidepressants were 75% more likely to have a fall injury.
Rosa's husband has high blood pressure but doesn't want to take the drugs his doctor has prescribed.
Susan has questions regarding a cat with worms.
Carmen's mother has macular degeneration and cataracts.
Nick has questions concerning fatigue he feels after physical exertion.

"New Girl" Zooey Deschanel is officially a single girl too!
The actress stepped out without her wedding ring for the first time last night -- less than one week after announcing her split from hubby Ben Gibbard.
Zooey was spotted yesterday at the TV Guide Magazine Annual Hot List Party, and still looked super-cute without the bling on her finger.
Zooey and the "Death Cab for Cutie" frontman were married in 2009.
Sources say their split is "mutual and amicable."

Level B Heritage – Significant Represents good examples of a particular style or type, either individually or collectively; may have some documented historical or cultural significance in a neighborhood.
Another example of a beautiful early 20th century Vancouver building which must have housed many important visitors to Vancouver.

The above view is from 1925 ..
This view is from today.. A little different!
Tower Block To Be Built Next To Murray Hotel
This project needs to be thought all the way; it is criminal in this day and age what we are doing with our cities, this is a heritage building and needs to be saved. In my opinion there is nothing worse you can do with a old building than just leave a facade, it defeats the whole point of heritage!
This project adjacent to the Murray Hotel on Hornby street has been brought back to life. It was one of many projects that fell off the radar during the economic calamity of 2008. Fast forward to 2012 and Kenstone Preperties has partnered with architects Henriquez Partner to construct a 164 unit 20 story tower on 1155 Hornby Street. The base of tower will be town homes, which is normal for that part of Hornby Street.
The Murray Hotel, next to the project, will remain as low-income housing, however it will get a facade rehabilitation

QandA for Lead Generation Specialist
Lead-generation is frequently associated with affiliate marketing as being way below the internet marketing globe. When an affiliate views a 'new' brand name or deal come on to the market– they look at it like a starving jackal. Quite couple of affiliate have an authentic passion in aiding that brand name on a lengthy term.Brand names have an issue regulating associates or where their associate hyperlinks are positioned. What's several of right stuff a customer does not understand or does not wish to know concerning exactly what's actually taking place?
Filling up in details from phone publications, hyperlink concealing so the initial source could not be recognized, brokering of the deal to various other sub-affiliates, worldwide website traffic, incentivized kind fills up (cost-free iPod things), co-reg deals, changing information that a customer inputted, going into in phony credit rating card numbers, and so on. You have to keep in thoughts that there are affiliate networks made up of 12-year-olds that have no feeling of morals or values.
What's the shadiest things you've viewed?
I have actually viewed thousands of leads come via in an issue of hours from one source. One traditional one is emailing making use of a brand name as well as then supplying a contending item.
Are there concerns with business shutting down programs without cautioning and also without paying payments?
There is typically a caution yet folks that make use of repayment solutions are constantly in danger of shedding their solution. If the marketer sheds all of their financial institution accounts, compensations do not acquire paid usually. This occurs daily.
Would you concur that associates are occasionally guilty of misguiding or untrue marketing, making cases or assures concerning product and services which are absolutely incorrect or significantly overemphasized?
If they have a means of imposing it, they have so much difficulty discovering the associate due to DBAs that are numerous layers deep. By the time they come close, the associate has actually relocated on and also establish up a brand-new DBA. If the affiliates are overseas, they might care much less concerning your standards.
Are there affiliates available that are searching for means around can-spam legislations?
Some do not take time to go around the regulation, they simply mail and also hope they never ever acquire captured. Many associates invest even more time figuring out just how to obtain right into inboxes continually.
What are some problems you view in the affiliate-marketing area?
Efficiency advertising and marketing has a massive quantity of threat connected with it. You are not merely spending for leads, you are spending for fraudulence also. You simply have no idea it is fraudulence till many days, and even months, later on.
There are no genuine police officers. Sub-affiliates is a significant problem, considering that many arrangements do not obtain filteringed system to them. They run as rogues a lot of the moment recognizing they will certainly never ever be located or captured.
Because the market modifications daily, the video game is not concerning powering top quality; it meanses survival after the following Google upgrade or various other system modification. You are required ahead up with means to trick the "formulas" given that you recognize the field itself is consistently transforming. There are no policies.
Have any sort of suggestions for brand names when dealing with affiliates/lead-gen individuals?
Do not think that affiliates will certainly operate the exact same ethical field as standard firms. Some affiliates are much more like terrible wanderers– get into, damage, proceed. Agencies are much more like inhabitants, aiming to bleed the exact same cow for several years.
Scams belongs to the video game, simply rate it right into your design and also you will certainly happy on your own of a bunch of anxiety.

Friday, December 2, 2011
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — His campaign all but over, Herman Cain said Friday he would make an announcement Saturday in Atlanta about the future of his White House bid.
Cain, in a speech to supporters in South Carolina, didn't disclose whether he would drop out of the race for the GOP nomination after this week's allegation that he had a 13-year-long extramarital affair. He told supporters simply to stay tuned.
"Nobody's going to make me make that prematurely," Cain said. "That's all there is to it."
It's hard to see how he goes forward. His poll numbers have dropped dramatically, backers are fleeing and even the candidate himself has acknowledged that fundraising has suffered since Ginger White publicly contended the two had had a long-running affair.
The embattled candidate was heading home to Georgia after the South Carolina event to meet with his wife face to face for the first time since White stepped forward this week.
Cain has denied the allegation, even as he has acknowledged what he called a friendship with the woman that included payments for what he said was financial hardship. He has said his wife didn't know of his connection to White.
"My wife and family comes first. I've got to take that into consideration," Cain told the crowd in South Carolina. "I don't doubt the support that I have. Just look at the people who are here."
"I'm on this journey for a reason. I don't look back," Cain added.

Due process of law, we have to abide by it: A Raja on getting bail in 2G case
After getting bail in 2G case, former Telecom Minister A Raja said here on Wednesday that its due process of the law and they need to abide by it.
"Its due process of law, we have to abide by the law. There is nothing special," said Raja.
Earlier today, a special CBI court had granted bail to all of the accused in the 2G spectrum scam case, including former Telecom Minister A Raja and Member of Parliament Kanimozhi.
The Lawyer for the accused Vijay Aggarwal confirmed it saying that the bail has been granted with the personal bail bond of Rs.5 lakh, but a case has been filed by the Enforcement Directive (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
The 2G spectrum scam involved both politicians and government officials in India illegally undercharging mobile telephone companies for frequency allocation licenses, which they would then use to create 2G spectrum subscriptions for cell phones.
The shortfall between the money collected and the money that the law mandated to be collected is estimated to be Rs.1766.45 billion (USD 29 billion), as valued by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India based on 3G and BWA spectrum auction prices in 2010.
In a charge sheet filed on April 2, 2011 by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the loss was pegged at Rs.309845.5 million (USD 5.1 billion), whereas on August 19, 2011 in a reply to CBI, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said that the government gained over Rs.30 billion (USD 500 million) by giving away 2G spectrum.
Kapil Sibal, the then Minister of Communications and Information Technology, claimed in 2011, during a press conference, that "zero loss" was caused by distributing 2G licenses on first-come-first-served basis.
It has to be pointed out, however, that "zero loss" can simply mean that frequencies were not sold for less than cost. The phrase indicates nothing about the legitimacy of the sale.
All the speculations of profit, loss, and no-loss were put to rest on February 2, 2012, when the Supreme Court of India delivered a judgment on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) which was directly related to the 2G spectrum scam.
The Supreme Court declared the allotment of spectrum as "unconstitutional and arbitrary" and quashed all 122 licenses issued in 2008 during the tenure of A. Raja. The court further said that A. Raja "wanted to favour some companies at the cost of the public exchequer" and "virtually gifted away an important national asset."
The zero loss theory was further demolished on August 3, 2012, when, as per the directions of the Supreme Court, the Government of India revised the base price for 5 MHz 2G spectrum auction to Rs.140 billion (USD 2.3 billion), leading the value of spectrum to amount to roughly Rs.28 billion (USD 460 million) per MHz: a figure close to the CAG's estimate of Rs.33.5 billion (USD 560 million) per MHz.
The 2G spectrum scandal, of which A Raja and Kanimozhi stand accused, was of the alleged sale of telecommunications bandwidth at undervalued prices.

Music and tales of a bygone era in the United States, will take center stage this week, when the Henry Players unveil their latest production.The 1940s Radio Hour will be presented, Thursday through Sunday, at the Henry County Performing Arts Center, in McDonough. Show times are Thursday through Saturday, at 7:30 p.m., each night, and Sunday, at 2:30 p.m. Vince Tuccillo is the director of the play, which is set in New York City during World War II. The show depicts the Christmas production of a weekly radio show, which takes place on Dec. 21, 1942. Its about the Feddington Players, a group of B performers, Tuccillo said. Theyre not the big stars of the era. Theres no Frank Sinatra here, but they are all very talented, and as you find out, theres a reason for them all being where they are. Tuccillo said although The 1940s Radio Hour contains an element of comedy, serious themes are found in the play as well, as the characters backgrounds are put on display for the audience. You get a peek into their lives how they all feel about whats going on, both nationwide in the war, and dealing with their own personal problems of being left behind, he said. I love the show, because its got music, its got comedy, and its got some drama. Its fun to see it unfold. Tuccillos assistant director, Melissa Hitchcock, said the music in Radio Hour stands out as a strong point for the production. We have wonderful singers, she said. I think audiences are really going to enjoy it. Chris Gansel will take on the role of Johnny Cantone, one of the main characters in the Radio Hour. He described Cantone as a Frank Sinatra wannabe, whose imperfections are evident throughout the production. He sort of got his job with the show through nepotism, said Gansel. Johnnys become a bit of a mess. Hes a heavy drinker, and as the play unfolds, you see how that affects his performance. Johnnys a bit of a skirt-chaser and, I think, is having problems coming to grips with the fact that hes hit his ceiling. Hes a good, small-time Sinatra, who will probably never hit the big time, because of his behaviors. Gansel added that he was surprised early in the production process by some of the themes in the play. It sounds like a madcap Christmas comedy, he said. After I read the script, I kind of went, Wait a minute. Theres really some stuff going on here. Steve Green will portray Pops Bailey, who works as a doorman. He said the play serves as a reminder of a pivotal period in American history. In the 1940s, there were events that wed all like to forget about, or hope never happen again, Green said. But, there were a lot of things that were good. There was the music, the patriotism, the clothing, that will live forever in a lot of peoples minds. People come to see a Henry Players production because theyre pretty sure were going to try to do a good job. This one is a little nostalgic and a little patriotic, and I think theyll enjoy it, added Green. Sierra Ingram will assume the role of Connie Miller, an aspiring singer and dancer. Ingram said she can identify with her character. Shes the youngest person in the show, and shes the newest person in the studio, said Ingram. At the same time, she wants to act older than she really is. Ingram said the best part of her experience in Radio Hour, is the sense of camaraderie she has developed with her fellow Players. Were all just a huge family, and we help everybody, she said. Ticket prices are $12 for adults, and $10 for children and seniors. For more information, visit www.henryplayers.com.

August 2011 > Will Auditors Be Required to Report Close Calls? Tune Into PCAOB's 9/15 Roundtable; Comment On Conce
3. Difficult or Contentious Issues, Including "Close Calls"
Some outreach participants recommended that the auditor identify in the auditor's report the most difficult or contentious issues discussed with management.
Difficult or contentious issues might arise in various stages of the audit, including in the auditor's evaluation of management's judgments, estimates, and accounting policies. Many outreach participants described difficult or contentious issues as those critical matters that concerned the auditor when making the auditor's final assessment of whether the financial statements are presented fairly.
A difficult issue might not always be synonymous with a contentious issue.
Rather, a difficult issue might be a matter that requires significant consideration or consultation; however, the auditor might agree with management's conclusions regarding the issue.
A contentious issue might be a matter that not only requires significant consideration or consultation but also leads to significant points of disagreement, debate or deliberation between the auditor and management.
Regardless of whether the issue is difficult or contentious, some outreach participants indicated that they would like information concerning how management and the auditor ultimately resolved the issue in order for the auditor to issue an unqualified opinion.
In addition, some outreach participants suggested the auditor should discuss the "close calls" encountered by the auditor in performing the audit.
Some investors described close calls to include matters such as –
• Those accounting decisions that required significant deliberation by the auditor and management before being deemed to be acceptable within the applicable financial accounting framework,
• Those matters related to internal control over financial reporting that required significant deliberation by the auditor and management, and
• A financial statement issue that had a potential material impact to the financial statements and was corrected prior to the end of the period.
Some outreach participants indicated that knowing the difficult or contentious issues or the close calls would provide insight into the auditor's significant judgments.
Others suggested that the auditor provide a listing of the issues in the auditor's report (e.g., difficult, contentious, or close calls) without the auditor's views. Based on this information, financial statement users could determine if further investigation is warranted as part of their investment analysis.
However, other outreach participants believe that if the difficult or contentious issues, or "close calls" are resolved to the auditor's satisfaction then description of them in the auditor's report would not provide relevant and useful information and could be misleading regarding the meaning of the auditor's opinion (i.e., the issuance of an unqualified opinion demonstrates that the auditor has satisfactorily resolved all material matters).
Some outreach participants indicated that due to the financial complexity of most public companies and their many accounting policies and estimates, there are typically a significant number of difficult or contentious issues or close calls in the normal course of the audit. Therefore, it may be hard for the auditor to determine which particular issues are most important to be discussed in the auditor's report.

Salute to troops
My Dad Rocks as a Hero!
My dad is Major Ben Krepps, and he serves our country in the Army. He's been in the Army for my whole life, so far. There are many reasons I love my dad. He knows how to skateboard, makes awesome pizza from scratch, and knows how to do lots of martial arts. But the coolest things about him are that he is a soldier and a great dad to me and my three little brothers.
I made this video to salute my dad and to thank him for his service to our country. It hasn't been easy on me to share my dad with the Army. His service to our country takes a lot of his time. It also takes him all over the place and away from me. I try to remember that if he can make the sacrifice, then so can I. His time in the Army is almost done, so it is important to me that he knows that I am really proud of him. I'm so thankful for all he does for our family and to take care of other soldiers, especially when he was deployed to Iraq.
I know that every single soldier is courageous and a hero, but my dad totally rocks as my hero every day. I love you, Dad, and I can't wait to see you soon.

Celebrities arrested in Keystone Pipeline protest
WASHINGTON — Celebrities and environmental activists, including lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and civil rights leader Julian Bond, were arrested on Wednesday after tying themselves to the White House gate to protest the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada.
Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune also was arrested — the first time in the group's 120-year history that a club leader was arrested in an act of civil disobedience. The club's board of directors approved the action as a sign of its opposition to the $7 billion pipeline, which would carry oil derived from tar sands in western Canada to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Activist Bill McKibben, actress Daryl Hannah and NASA climate scientist James Hansen also were arrested, along with more than 40 others. They were charged with failure to disperse and obey lawful orders, and released on $100 bond each.
The protesters are demanding that President Barack Obama reject the pipeline, which they say would carry "dirty oil" that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill.
Many business and labor groups support the 1,700-mile pipeline as a source of jobs and a step toward North American energy independence.
The 4-year-old project has become a flashpoint in the debate over climate change, with opponents labeling it a "carbon bomb" that could trigger global warming. Supporters call that rhetoric overblown and say Obama should approve the pipeline as part of his "all of the above" energy policy, which encourages a wide range of domestic energy development.
In an interview before his arrest, Brune said civil disobedience was justified because of the threat posed by tar sands oil, which is difficult to produce and emits significantly more greenhouse gases than conventional oil.

By LIM CHIA YING email@example.com Photos by MOHD SAHAR MISNI
PHILANTROPHIST Kapitan Yap Kwan Seng may have died over a century ago but the legacy of the last Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur lives on.
The closest that Malaysians know about this man is the road that was named after him — the busy Jalan Yap Kwan Seng that today houses high-profile tenants like the Australian High Commission, Menara Public Bank, Menara AmBank Finance and a slew of high-end restaurants.
But more than just Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, there are various other landmarks in Kuala Lumpur that were founded or contributed by the Kapitan himself.
Granddaughter Lin Chua a.k.a Yap Swee Lin, feels proud and impressed by the good deeds of her grandfather.
"In all honesty, I didn't know my grandfather as he passed away long before I was born," said Lin, who took us on a day tour of the city to show the various locations which Yap Kwan Seng had made his impact.
"Until recently, being Yap Kwan's Seng's grandaughter meant nothing to me."
But when she chanced upon a portrait of Yap Kwan Seng hanging on the wall at the Tung Shin Hospital in Kuala Lumpur, it altered her perception she had about him.
"I wondered what the photo was doing there and how it was related to the hospital. Then, the hospital's management passed me a book — a compilation of the works of my grandfather. Only then I knew he was the founder of the hospital," said the 66-year-old Lin.
The Tung Shin Hospital was originally known as Pooi Shin Thong, in Jalan Sultan, which Yap founded in 1881, when he was just 35. It was built to give free medical care and service to the poor, dispensing Chinese traditional medicine, while funeral arrangements were also arranged for the needy.
Yap financed the administration of the hospital for 13 years, before donations started pouring in. It was later converted into a non-profit organisation.
Later the hospital was renamed to Tung Shin and moved to its current location in Jalan Pudu.
"His dedication to healthcare continues through the Tai Wah Ward that he co-founded at the Pauper Hospital, before it became known today as the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital and now Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
"In the early days, the hospital was a wooden structure. The wards were specially dedicated to rehabilitating opium addicts," said Lin.
Moving over to High Street which is now named Jalan Tun H. S. Lee, Yap Kwan Seng donated a few shoplots to form a hospice centre called Chik Seng Tong, which housed the terminally-ill migrants who had no place to go to.
"It's like the olden day hospice to provide care and accommodation for the sick and dying, and it also served as a morgue," added Lin.
However, this centre in Jalan Tun H. S. Lee has since been demolished with the site now serving as an open carpark. Lin said its trustees had moved the centre to another location.
And the stretch where Hotel Malaya stands today is the former residence of Yap, said Lin.
The story of Yap Kwan Seng is not complete without the mention of the Chak Kai Koong Kon Association in Jalan Sultan, Petaling Street.
Yap, a Hakka who hailed from the province of Chak Kai (Red Stream) in Guangzhou, China, had established the association in 1885 with the help of others who came from the same province.
Lin said the association building had since been rebuilt a year ago through fund-raising efforts.
"I also learnt that my grandfather was one of the founders and original trustees of the Victoria Institution in 1893.
"Like many schools, VI had different colour houses for its sports activities — blue, yellow and green. But what was different is that it had a Yap Kwan Seng house too!" she said.
Records showed that Yap had established the school with other prominent leaders like Loke Yew and K. Thamboosamy Pillay with the help of British resident W.H. Treacher, and donations from the Sultan of Selangor and the Queen Victoria's Jubilee Fund.
What the Royal Selangor Club near Dataran Merdeka has to do with Yap Kwan Seng?
Yap was one of the club's early founders.
During his term as Kapitan, he was said to have hosted a banquet in honour of Sir Frank Swettenham.
Then there is Brickfields of course, which was initially developed by Yap who saw the potential and demand for quality bricks and built the first brick factory in the country.
The kiln was established in a district that was later known as Brickfields.
Lin said the deeds of her grandfather had touched the hearts of the descendents of the Chinese migrants whom he had helped when they arrived in Malaysia.
"During the 112th anniversary of the Chak Kai Association, the children of the migrants who had passed on, spoke of their parents' gratitude towards my grandfather and in turn thanked us — his descendants.
"Just last year, the Guangzhou authorities had constructed a new road and named it after him. I was invited to do the ribbon-cutting but was tied down with my Autorr Foundation project then," said Lin.
Yap's tin mine company was one of the largest in Selangor then, which employed more than 7,000 workers. He even had his own small police force to look into his business interests!
Lin said Yap died in his mid-50s, when her father was barely seven years old then.
"He was originally buried at Maxwell Hill but when the government wanted the land for development, his bones were exhumed and are now placed at a pagoda at the Lin Lum land near the Kwong Tung Yee San cemetery."
A stone plaque has been erected in memory of Yap who served as a Kapitan for 13 years till his passing in 1902.

The product is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is stored in large 6 200-litre to 22 500-litre gas tanks on the premises of the development for use as an alternative energy source. It is the first such project and Sasol plans to roll it out on a large scale countrywide in new developments. It's a step in the direction of a greener future, said Pieter Claassen, Sasol Oil's manager for new business development. It is especially targeted at developers of new housing and at the low-income housing market. He said the gas would be used to heat water, for indoor heating and for cooking. At the same time the houses will be supplied with solar panels. This would reduce the average household's dependence on electricity by about 60%. The saving on the total electricity account would be 18% to 20% and households' carbon footprint would come down 40% to 50%. It would considerably reduce the pressure on South Africa's electricity network and ensure that buildings had a reliable alternative source of energy at all times, lightening the household burden of rising electricity tariffs. This gas is already being used in millions of homes globally, but its use in South Africa has always been limited because the country until recently had cheap electricity. The infrastructure to install the product will add to developer's costs. Claassen said a R1.5m house would cost an average of 1% more to build and low-income houses about 2% more. Mark Corbett, chief executive of Century Property Developments which is developing Waterfall, said the gas will be stored on the premises and distributed to each house. Each house will have its own gas meter and households will be able to pay for the gas in advance. Waterfall is currently the biggest residential development in the country and 3 000 houses will be built there over the next five years. Corbett said the stands sell for between R600 000 and R6.5m for units from 600m² to one hectare. The first three stages, a total of 700 erven, have already been sold. Sasol Homegas will be installed by qualified staff in compliance with all international and domestic safety standards. The gas has a distinct smell, so that any leaks can be picked up and traced immediately. - Sake24 For business news in Afrikaans, go to Sake24.com.

QUINTON MARTINEZ: Lake View, Central should be rivals
SAN ANGELO, Texas - As I approach the end of my first year with the Standard-Times, one thing that still baffles me is the lack of rivalries in high school sports in San Angelo.
This is the first town that I have ever lived in where people have to think when asked, "Who is your school's rival?"
Last July, my colleagues on the sports staff told me that Lake View's rival was Big Spring, which as the year progressed seemed to make the most sense, and most athletes appeared more excited when lining up against the Steers.
Granted, the fact that it came down to the last game of the season in volleyball, girls basketball and baseball with a playoff berth on the line between the two schools helped, but still it was as close as the school got to having a "rival."
It also fit because the two schools had been grouped together for more than two decades, since Big Spring dropped from 5A to 4A in the mid-'80s.
This fall, however, Big Spring has dropped in classification once again, leaving Lake View in alien district territory with Stephenville, Killeen and three Waco schools.
The Steers do not appear on this fall's football schedule, and while they are on the boys basketball schedule and still may appear on other schedules, the rivalry may begin to wane unless Lake View coaches keep it going.
The Chiefs may follow Central's path where it is now difficult to pin down a true rival for the Bobcats.
While the Bobcats have remained in a district with Abilene, Midland and Odessa schools in all sports save football, without the driving force that is football, it is hard to maintain a rivalry.
Abilene High for years was Central's chief rival, but since Cooper was built and especially in the 12 years since the Bobcats were moved north to the Panhandle for football, it has not continued.
Lake View has not seen enough district stability to be able to hone rivalries in the past three decades-plus.
Population stagnation — or even decrease — in West Texas towns coupled with a raising cutoff line in UIL realignment has put the Chiefs in a perpetual state of change nearly every two years.
Last February, the final bombshell was dropped on Lake View's connection to West Texas. In 40 years, the Chiefs have gone from traveling to the western edges of the region for district games against Fort Stockton, Pecos, Andrews and Monahans to having to travel eastward with no 4A schools in the immediate vicinity north or west.
The closest 4A school westward is in El Paso County. Looking north you have to go all the way to Frenship just outside of Lubbock.
Think about that for a second.
I would venture to say that if you ask LVHS graduates from different decades stretching all the way back to the 1950s or '60s you would get different responses as to who was Lake View's rival at the time they were in school.
Central at least has had the continuity district wise to be able to build rivalries with Abilene High and, according to some, Odessa Permian. The rivalry with the Panthers probably has a lot to do with the "Permian" brand name and what it means across the state, and even nationally.
Claiming a rivalry with Permian is akin to having a rivalry with Notre Dame or the Yankees or Dallas Cowboys. You gear up for the game because you know what beating them would mean.
The relative isolation of San Angelo contributes to the problem. The only nearby cities of comparable size are all around 100 miles away along I-20 and have only 5A schools. It is far worse for Lake View in 4A as every former rival in West Texas is now in a lower classification.
With so many inherent problems with creating a rivalry it is time to get to the elephant in the room.
Lake View.
Meeting on the field of play.
Find anyone who has ever moved to San Angelo and they all ask the same question — "Why don't they play each other?"
It took a miraculous happening to even get them on the same field for a scrimmage — a pair of Gandys (Dan and Kyle) coaching simultaneously at the schools.
While a football game would be the crowning achievement of any competition between the schools, getting the two to play in any sport annually would be a start.
Football is obviously the sport where the difference between a 5A school and a 4A school would manifest itself the most, but in other sports where numbers don't have as much to do with success, the differences in classification are minor.
Maybe I am putting too much stock into having a rival, but going back to my high school days, the games that stick out the most to me — in almost any sport — were against our rival.
Stories passed along about the scrimmages and the times that Central and Lake View have met in competition always leave me wanting more.
I think a healthy rivalry, and perhaps a trophy to play for, could only boost excitement at both campuses.
With both schools having to travel more than 150 miles for their district games, it would be beneficial to have a game where travel costs are close to nothing, not to mention the larger-than-average gate revenue.
Left in the current situation without a real rival for either school, what is there to lose?

He Shall Go Out Free: The Lives of Denmark Vesey
Rowman & Littlefield, Jan 1, 2004 - Biography & Autobiography - 268 pages
On July 2, 1822, Denmark Vesey was hanged in Charleston, S.C., for his role in planning one of the largest slave uprisings in the United States. During his long, extraordinary life Vesey played many roles Caribbean field hand, cabin boy, chandler's man, house servant, proud freeman, carpenter, husband, father, church leader, abolitionist, revolutionary. Yet until his execution transformed him into a symbol of liberty, Vesey made it his life's work to avoid the attention of white authorities. Because he preferred to dwell in the hidden alleys of Charleston's slave community, Vesey remains as elusive as he is today celebrated, and his legend is often mistaken for fact. In this biography of the great rebel leader, Douglas R. Egerton employs a variety of historical sources church records, court documents, travel accounts, and newspapers from America and Saint Domingue to recreate the lost world of the mysterious Vesey. The revised and updated edition reflects the most recent scholarship on Vesey, and a new afterword by the author explores the current debate about the existence of the 1822 conspiracy. If Vesey's plot was unique in the annals of slave rebellions in North America, it was because he was unique; his goals, as well as the methods he chose to achieve them, were the product of a hard life's experience."

About This Book
The year is 1895. Driven from his home by the Ku Klux Klan and still reeling from the death of his mother, young Nathan Williams moves with his father and grandfather to the desolate Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to start a new life. Fortunately, life on Pea Island at the end of the 19th century is far from quiet. The other island residents include the surfmen — the African American crew of the nearby U.S. Life-Saving Station — and soon Nathan is lending an extra hand to these men as they rescue sailors from sinking ships.
Working and learning alongside the courageous surfmen, Nathan begins to dream of becoming one himself. But the reality of post-Civil War racism starts to show itself as he gradually realizes the futility of his dream. And then another dream begins to take shape, one that Nathan refuses to let anyone take from him.
