9/11 Military Trial Judge - Like 9/11 Commission - Frustrated by Government Shenanigans
Huffington Post reports:
A judge expressed frustration on Monday that an unknown U.S. government entity censored his courtroom audiovisual feed, cutting public access to pretrial hearings for five accused Sept. 11 plotters.
"If some external body is turning the commission on or off based on their own views of what things ought to be, with no reasonable explanation … then we're going to have a little meeting about who turns that light on and off," said the judge, Col. James Pohl.
Pohl's comments came after an unknown censor cut off a live media feed to the court proceedings as David Nevin, a lawyer defending Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, began discussing his request for information on his client's case.
A court security officer positioned next to the judge has the ability to dump the feed if anything secret arises. That officer didn't activate the censorship button on Monday.
"I would like to know who has the permission to turn that light on and off, who is listening to this, who is controlling these proceedings, or controlling that aspect of these proceedings," Nevin said.
This is just one of a series of outrages regarding investigation and trial of alleged 9/11 terrorists.
In 2008, the former chief prosecutor for Guantánamo's military commissions disclosed that the trials have been rigged to prevent the possibility of acquittal. Specifically, the head of the Guantanamo tribunal — who is actually in charge of both prosecuting and defending the suspects — told the former chief prosecutor:
Wait a minute, we can't have acquittals. If we've been holding these guys for so long, how can we explain letting them get off? We can't have acquittals, we've got to have convictions.
In addition, three other Guantanamo prosecutors — Maj. Robert Preston, Capt. John Carr and Capt. Carrie Wolf — "asked to be relieved of duties after saying they were concerned that the process was rigged. One said he had been assured he didn't need to worry about building a proper case; convictions were assured."
Another former Guantanamo prosecutor resigned, saying in a sworn declaration that the government pulled all sorts of shenanigans in one case.
The head of the tribunal also said that — even if the defendants are somehow acquitted — they may not be released from Guantanamo.
No wonder the American Bar Association, "which the Pentagon had said would help arrange such representation, has refused to participate because it objects to the trial procedures." And no wonder the defense attorneys who have agreed to represent the defendants say that the process is completely unfair. See also this interview.
MSNBC speculated that the U.S. put a "stun belt" on alleged terrorist Moussaoui during his trial to keep him in line:
9/11 Commissioners Slam Blatant Obstruction of Justice
The 9/11 Commissioners publicly expressed anger at cover ups and obstructions of justice by the government into a real 9/11 investigation:
- The Commission's co-chairs said that the CIA (and likely the White House) "obstructed our investigation"
- 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ."
- 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"
- 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up"
- The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) – who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry – said "At some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true."
And the Co-Chair of the official Congressional Inquiry Into 9/11 – and former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee – has called for a new 9/11 investigation.
Some examples of obstruction of justice into the 9/11 investigation include:
- An FBI informant hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000. Specifically, investigators for the Congressional Joint Inquiry discovered that an FBI informant had hosted and even rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House. As the New York Times notes:
Senator Bob Graham, the Florida Democrat who is a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, accused the White House on Tuesday of covering up evidence ….The accusation stems from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's refusal to allow investigators for a Congressional inquiry and the independent Sept. 11 commission to interview an informant, Abdussattar Shaikh, who had been the landlord in San Diego of two Sept. 11 hijackers.
- The chairs of both the 9/11 Commission and the Official Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 said that Soviet-style government "minders" obstructed the investigation into 9/11 by intimidating witnesses
- The 9/11 Commissioners concluded that officials from the Pentagon lied to the Commission, and considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements
- The tape of interviews of air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 was intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building as shown by this NY Times article (summary version is free; full version is pay-per-view) and by this article from the Chicago Sun-Times
- As reported by ACLU, FireDogLake, RawStory and many others, declassified documents shows that Senior Bush administration officials sternly cautioned the 9/11 Commission against probing too deeply into the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
Both the 9/11 Trials and the 9/11 Commission Investigation Were Based on Unreliable Evidence Produced by Torture
The CIA videotaped the interrogation of 9/11 suspects, falsely told the 9/11 Commission that there were no videotapes or other records of the interrogations, and then illegally destroyed all of the tapes and transcripts of the interrogations.
9/11 Commission co-chairs Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton wrote:
Those who knew about those videotapes — and did not tell us about them — obstructed our investigation.
The chief lawyer for Guantanamo litigation – Vijay Padmanabhan – said that torture of 9/11 suspects was widespread. And Susan J. Crawford, the senior Pentagon official overseeing the military commissions at Guantánamo — the novel system of trials for terror suspects that was conceived in the wake of the 9/11 attacks — told Bob Woodward:
We tortured Qahtani. His treatment met the legal definition of torture.
Moreover, the type of torture used by the U.S. on the Guantanamo suspects is of a special type. Senator Levin revealed that the the U.S. used Communist torture techniques specifically aimed at creating false confessions. (and see this, this, this and this). And according to NBC News:
- Much of the 9/11 Commission Report was based upon the testimony of people who were tortured
- At least four of the people whose interrogation figured in the 9/11 Commission Report have claimed that they told interrogators information as a way to stop being "tortured."
- One of the Commission's main sources of information was tortured until he agreed to sign a confession that he was NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO READ
- The 9/11 Commission itself doubted the accuracy of the torture confessions, and yet kept their doubts to themselves

Who was determining what the 9/11 Commission would address?
Philip D. Zelikow
Executive Director
Look into him and decide for yourselves. Yup, he's another member of that 'special' tribe.
Here's just one example of Zelikow's perfidy:
MAIDHC Ó CATHAIL: Pentagon Author Exposes Zelikow's Key Role in 9/11 Cover-Up
And while I'm at it, here's another 9/11 gatekeeper...from the 'left' Noam Chomsky(you know...the really really 'smart guy'):
September 11, 2001
Noam Chomsky has acted as the premier Left gatekeeper in the aftermath of the 9-11 crimes, lashing out at the 9-11 truth movement and claiming [that] any suggestions of government complicity are fabrications. The "radical" Chomsky takes a position so deeply rooted in denial that it makes the staged 9-11 whitewash commission look like an honest study. He belligerently refuses to discuss any of the massive evidence proving government foreknowledge and participation in the crimes, claiming it would destroy the activist movements worldwide:
"If the left spends its time on this, that's the end of the left, in my opinion: the mainstream would be utterly delighted. It is highly likely that nothing significant will be found. And if -- which I very greatly doubt -- something is found that would quickly send everyone in Washington to the death chamber, the left is unlikely to emerge triumphant."
In other words, Chomsky is telling his followers to ignore the evidence because according to him, none exists. However even if there is massive evidence, responsible activists should ignore it because it would be "the end of the Left." Chomsky's role as a 9-11 gatekeeper goes even further as he denies each piece of evidence individually. The following examples should suffice:
continued at: http://modernhistoryproject.org/mhp?Article=NoamAsset#911
Chomsky has a lot of brilliance on many, many subjects.
Sadly, ultimately, he's a disappointment.
He's as disappointing on JFK as he is on 911, too.
Even the 911 Commissioners don't believe their own story, so how can someone as smart as Chomsky not see this? There's no excuse for him. He's obviously a liar.
From the above link:
The 9/11 Commission now tells us that the official version of 9/11 was based on false testimony and documents and is almost entirely untrue. The details of this massive cover-up are carefully outlined in a book by John Farmer, who was the Senior Counsel for the 9/11 Commission.
Farmer, Dean of Rutger Universities' School of Law and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was responsible for drafting the original flawed 9/11 report.
Does Farmer have cooperation and agreement from other members of the Commission? Yes. Did they say Bush ordered 9/11? No. Do they say that the 9/11 Commission was lied to by the FBI, CIA, Whitehouse and NORAD? Yes. Is there full documentary proof of this? Yes.
Farmer states..."at some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened... I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin."
The 9/11 Commission head, Thomas Kean, was the Republican governor of New Jersey. He had the following to say... "We to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth. . . " When Bush's own handpicked commission failed to go along with the cover up and requested a criminal investigation, why was nothing done?
9/11 Commission member and former US Senator, Bob Kerrey, says, "No one is more qualified to write the definitive book about the tragedy of 9/11 than John Farmer. Fortunately, he has done so. Even more fortunately the language is clear, alive and instructive for anyone who wants to make certain this never happens again."
With the only "official" 9/11 report now totally false, where do we go from here? Who is hurt by these lies? The families of the victims of 9/11 have fought, for years, to get to the truth. For years, our government has hidden behind lies and secrecy to deny them closure.
In 2006, The Washington Post reported..."Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission..."
What does Farmer's book tell us? Farmer offers no solutions, only a total and full rejection of what was told and his own his own ideas concerning the total failure of honesty on the part of the government, a government with something to hide.
5 minutes of condensed truth:
If some thieving dog broke into my house and damaged or stole my property i would leave no stone unturned to find out who? when? how? would not give the public servants a days rest. and so the biggest attack on US soil is not only Not worthy of a Full investigation but hamperred at every level as TFUTB ( too fucked up to believe ). and yet the $100's of billions dished out from " the sheeples taxes " for Hopeland Security and various mutant cells and secret underground slimey villages exists for your safety. gimme your arse and i have your soul.
All I know is I do not believe anything from .gov or bls or imf or .msm. 911 had planes hitting buildings thousands died and two wars later we have homeland sec, tsa ,and you can't fly without anal probing - a president with no history, a manchurian mulatto destroying the economy of usa . Deibold voting machines with no record of my vote as quick as milliseconds later,
.911 the why and the control of this event has been hidden is as obvious as magic bullets in Dallas - and navy destroyers being shot at in the gulf of Tonkin,but , tin foil is my hat, crazy as a loon is my game..for in insanity it all makes sense and is somehow bearable.
Now if this guy is so guilty, why would the prosecutor want to drop conspiracy charges?

Maybe a helpful way to get a newbie to take a baby step into this issue would be to have them research the fact that cell phone technology in 2001 did not allow a call to be made from an airliner in flight? I know it's been fifty years since our last real president was taken from us, and most people still don't give a shit about the truth, but we need to start planting some seeds guys!
the hitman will be doing extra hours to silence and murder all of the people who know that the bush crime syndicate orchestrated and profitted immensely from 9/11....al qaeda is a franchise of the bcs and cia and operates under thier full control....the controlled demolitions of the wtc, the absence of any plane at the pentagon - it all - poof - disappeard - just like the magic bullet weaved and dodged through kennedy and connally, and the nuclear radiation at ground zero demonstrate that a bunch of backward arabs did not blow up the wtc....
bush, rumsfeld, cheney, gates, cuomo, walker, rockefeller, and a host of other powerful oligarchs conducted that attack.....consequently obstruction of justice is the order of the day....none of those arabs trotted out before the public was involved in the murders - the murders all lead back to the offices and homes of the murderers i just cited.....
All this shit goes back a long, long time.
1951: Yes, Prescott, there is a Santa Claus.
Prescott Bush, whose run for the Senate has been unsuccessful following revelations about his role in the American eugenics movement, hits the jackpot.
Front man and errand boy for the Harriman and Rockefeller families in their business dealings with the Nazis from 1926 to 1951, including the period throughout World War Two, Bush neatly evades prosecution with the legal assistance of ever-present Nazi shyster and fellow Hitler Project luminary Allen Dulles.
Instead of doing hard time in the slammer for treason, Bush is handed about $1.5 million in Nazi assets, primarily shares of the Nazi front Union Banking Corporation, which had been seized in 1942 under the Trading With The Enemy Act. The Nazi cash forms a big chunk of the Bush family fortune and will doubtless be of much help to Bush's son, George "Bailout" Bush, and his grandson, George "I'm A Lyin' Guy" Bush, in their successful quests for the presidency of the United States.
But Prescott Bush and his father-in-law, Herbert Walker, are only minority shareholders and front men of the Nazi front Union Banking Corporation. It is really owned by none other than Roland and Averell Harriman along with a host of other Nazi operations which had been seized under the Trading With The Enemy Act. These include the Holland-American Trading Corporation, the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation and the Silesian-American Corporation which used slave labor from Auschwitz.
The estimated value of the Harrimans' Nazi assets is three billion dollars, a staggering amount of money in 1951.
The Lord takes a hand and gives Nazi front man and unprosecuted traitor Prescott Bush a second crack at a Senate seat and a ride into office on Ike's coattails.
The 48-year-old senator from Connecticut, James O'Brien McMahon, contracts cancer and dies. Bush gets the Republican Senate nomination at a special meeting, with the backing of the Yale-dominated state party leadership. He runs in a special election for the suddenly vacant Senate seat and, as expected, is swept into office on the same electoral ticket as "Ike".
The always cooperative U.S. mass media makes not a mention of Bush's important role in financing the rise of Adolf Hitler. By a technicality, Bush becomes Connecticut's senior Senator, with extra power in Congress. The next regularly-scheduled senatorial race will be in 1956, when McMahon's term would have ended, at which time, Bush can expect once again to ride into office on Eisenhower's coattails.
McMahon's death is convenient and not just for Bush's political ambitions. McMahon had been Assistant U.S. Attorney General, in charge of the Criminal Division, from 1935 to 1939, in a position to know what Bush, the Harrimans, the Rockefellers, the Dulles brothers and the rest of the gang had been doing in Nazi Germany in those years.

Watch this and you will leave this thread with no doubt, 9-11 was not an inside job, it was a contracted job. Jane Standley turned whistle blower afterwards. Building 7 came down in a perfectly orchestrated text book controlled demo style.
Building 7 is NOT mentioned in the 9-11 Commission Report story. 9-11 hasn't been investigated to this day, Bush White House blocked them all at every turn. FEMA was positioned at a pier near WTC Complex the day before 9-11 for a practice drill for radioactive / biological fall out.

Money, if you mean this site, I have to agree that it is the best 911 site I've found so far. AE911 truth is also very good. This one is excellent, though: http://911research.com/
Correction: BTS and NTSB.
One small correction. Dick Cheney was in charge of all of America's counter-terrorism exercises, activities and responses on 9/11. See this Department of State announcement and this CNN article. As such, at least part of the blame for failing to stop the attacks is on his shoulders.
But I have seen no evidence that he was acting director of Norad. If you have any evidence, I would very much like to see it.
Dick Cheney acting director of NORAD on 9-11-2001.
I agree with your overall thought... but the word "Norad" doesn't even appear in the post you link to.
GW, maybe I missed it somewhere, but have you ever looked into the mysterious death of Bertha Champagne or the agency known as SECURACOM?

Thank you for everything you do GW. I appreciate your time and dedication spent on your issues to be brought to the forefront of Americas attention.
The entire 9/11 farce is based on KSM's confessions. His "due process" has been bizarre to say the least.
I don't even want to get into the fact that the guy was reported dead 3 times.
These Fascists are really Stalinists -Stalin showed us how it was done with his great purges, which included his famous show trials of all the former party leaders , generals and anyone else his paranoid demented mind told him to kill -first you torture them brutally to get them to confess-if that doesn't work you bring in their family -mother, sisters brothers, wife and even children. Start killing them or torturing them in front of their eyes until you agree to sign a false confession. Then the iny=terrogator proimises to spare and take care of tthe condemned man's family after his death. Then the show trial, then the quit execution by a bullet to the head as you walk down the hall -then they kill your family.
KSM was waterboarded and tortured extensively to get his confessions. IO think he confessed to just about everything -including killing MLK and the Kennedy's -the tapes of his torture and cofessions were destroyed. He WILL confess in open court -no doubt -he likely knows full well they will torture, rape and murder his children if he does not -they have probably already given him a demonstration ,
People who believe the 'official' story about 9/11 tend to have manginas that can only be properly stimulated by wielding pom-poms and jiggling belly rolls of Twinkie fat while posing as a 'rough and tough asskicker.' For best effect they also wave plenty of Chinese-made plastic American flags.
The easiest way to get rid of infestations of these critters is to hand out flyers to www.goarmy.com, which makes them scram like cockroaches...
We are told Khalid Sheikh Mohd is the "mastermind" the same guy who went to an American college as a young man. The guy in custody doesn't speak a word of English and is a dimwit metally retarded stooge. He needs a translator and we've never heard a word from him in court testimony anyway. When it was time to have a trial the media went into overdrive saying he couldn't come to USA for a trial because it's too dangerous, all kinds of crazy people would show up and bomb everyone. What a farce, and shame on the American people for believing this BS. Our justice system has lost all crediblity.
O.J. Simpson endorses our trial by jury system. Seriously though, why are arab terrorists without a uniform, or adhering to any form of rules of warfare being tried in courts at all.
If ever we get a new investigation, it will be based upon the cover-up of what appears to be Saudi involvement, not controlled demolition or missiles, for which there is no evidence.
I beg to differ. But thats your *opinion and I have to respect it. Just face it before you get blindsided. The time is now to understanding 9-11 and the end result policy fills many means to an end for future security of America especially when their ENDGAME is to remove the Constitution. It served many many purposes to the satinist elite. Subjugation of the last bastion of Freedom in the world.
They actually want you to think they pulled 9-11 at this point. Feeds into their ownership of your thoughts and fears Thats a tool for social control, Hobgobblins that they will protect you and your children from, they just ask for some Freedoms traded for temporary safety.
I have my 2A and dont fear or require further protection besides from the agencies that want to protect me.
Nice try.
Bullshit. They found plenty of Nanothermite in the WTC wreckage. Please troll for the feds where it might get some traction...
that sounds plausible - because if the Saudi's knew then someone in a US agency knew (or should have known)
Insert ISRAELI involvement, under every stone of investigation into 9/11 is mossad and dual-nationals in positions of the highest authority. Saudi involvement or not, mossad did 9/11. Check Christopher Bollyn's work on the subject.
they (Mossad, CIA) are spooks and there are clear indications that Mossad was involved. but it's not just "zionists", the rabbithole goes deeper.
on the subject of "who pulled off 9-11", this is a very interesting watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_fp5kaVYhk
Oh, come on. Mossad planned our drills on that day? Mossad got the USAF, NORAD, and FAA to tell radically different stories? Mossad got past the Bush-run security (see Securacom) to plant explosives? Mossad got our entire media to participate?
Mossad involvement? Sure. Sure.
Mossad acting alone? No way. Absolutely impossible.
Mossad got the Commission appointed to cover this up?
Hate is an emotion, not a rational examination of the situation.
Israel did 9/11 bud all the evidence is there.
Bollyn.com READ
Nope. Not reading it until you answer ONE of those questions, bud.
How Did Spy Software Get Onto FAA Computers?
PTECH Software
Ptech software "is utilized at the highest levels of almost every government and military and defense organization in this country".
The real key person involved in the development of the company was a Zionist Jewish lawyer named Michael Goff from Worcester, Massachusetts. Goff also worked for an Israeli-run computer security company called Guardium.
Monte Belger, Acting Deputy of the FAA from 1997-2002
After he left the FAA, Belger became the "Vice President, Government Connection" of a small Israeli-run company based in the Fort Lauderdale area called U.S. Aviation Technology. The company was founded by Ehud "Udi" Mendelson, who described himself as "a captain in the prestigious Army Intelligence Unit of the Israel Defense Force."
Peter Goelz, the former managing director of the NTSB, the federal agency that investigates air crashes, is also named along with Monte Belger as a Vice President, Corporate Strategy, in U.S. Aviation Technology.
The Deception That Changed The World

And stop defaming the name of our country's father by appending it to your gibberish.
This NoTTD is a planted government of the US mole who has numerous alias's and watches ZH for the sole purpose of distracting comments about the articles content. Pay no attention to these bought off clowns. There probably sitting in Virginia with a bunch of other sworn to silence baby killers.
Our country's founder and the jiz drinking self serving bankster rectum cleaning fascist losers who run it now are two different things. But you seem to be to stupid to realize it. Or one of them?
I understand your anger. It's kind of like the tortured denial you experience when you first find out your wife has been having an affair.
WTC Building #7, a 47-story high-rise not hit by an airplane, exhibited all the characteristics of classic controlled demolition with explosives:
- Rapid onset of collapse
- Sounds of explosions at ground floor – a second before the building's destruction
- Symmetrical "structural failure" – through the path of greatest resistance – at free-fall acceleration
- Imploded, collapsing completely, and landed in its own footprint
- Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like clouds
- Expert corroboration from the top European controlled demolition professional
- Foreknowledge of "collapse" by media, NYPD, FDNY
In the aftermath of WTC7's destruction, strong evidence of demolition using incendiary devices was discovered:
- FEMA finds rapid oxidation and intergranular melting on structural steel samples
- Several tons of molten metal reported by numerous highly qualified witnesses
- Chemical signature of the incendiary thermite found in solidified molten metal, and dust samples
WTC7 exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire:
- Slow onset with large visible deformations
- Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance (laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling, to the side most damaged by the fires)
- Evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel
- High-rise buildings with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never collapsed
Where was the several hundred foot high pile of debris after the buildings fell?
Where were the wing-holes on the Pentagon?
Guys with box cutters pulled off the biggest crime against the US ever... Nobody wants to explain how that happened, and they won't.

Why would we want to JUST grant a path to citizenship with out trying to stop or at least slow the human trafficking and smuggling that is directly related to this issue?
What you are saying is "we need to treat these people with respect and grant them citizenship even though they broke the law but, fcvk all the innocents women and children being killed and enslaved in the same process"

Topher Grace And Patricia Clarkson Join The Blumhouse Supernatural Thriller Home
By Nick Venable 2014-01-30 20:33:09 comments
Stop me if youve heard this one before. Jason Blum and his mega successful microbudget studio Blumhouse Productions are putting together a film where the central location is a big house that just so happens to be get this haunted! The company that started the Paranormal Activity franchise will return to a residence of revenants for the upcoming thriller Home, which Universal will be distributing. Two of the actors putting on their best fright faces will be Topher Grace and Patricia Clarkson, who are both in negotiations to star.
This will be the fourth feature from director Dennis Iliadis, most famous for helming the remake of The Last House on the Left, and whose film +1 was an interesting sci-fi film whose interesting gimmick was lost in the midst of a bunch of partying teenagers. Homes screenplay was written by Adam Alleca, who also wrote Last House and the upcoming adaptation of Stephen Kings Cell. Iliadis has gone from crime drama to rape revenge horror to doppelgänger sci-fi, so its kind of impossible to say one way or the other what Home might look like. Thats somewhat encouraging, as this pic should thankfully have nothing to do with found footage.
The film, as described by THR, tells the spooky tale of a man (Grace) who is released from a mental hospital. He has inherited a large mansion from his dead parents, and while that sounds like a slightly positive consolation, it isnt. A series of disturbing events alerts him to the fact that the house might be full of ghosts. Or one ghost. Or even a demon monkey. Were really not sure at this point.
This project has actually been in development for some time, with Brittany Snow originally attached to star for Wes Cravens Craven/Maddalena Films. When that fell through, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Killorans Appian Way imprint teamed with Graham Kings GK Films to get it film made, but it was Blums involvement that really got things moving recently. The fact that DiCaprio will be serving as a producer on this thing makes me hope for something in line with Shutter Island, which Clarkson starred in, but will probably end up being closer to jump scare films like The Conjuring.
2014 will be a big year for Grace, who still hasnt quite shed himself of his That 70s Show identity. Following a 2013 that only saw him in the disappointing ensemble comedy The Big Wedding, Grace recently finished filming Christopher Nolans expansive sci-fi drama Interstellar, which looks to be one of the biggest films of the year. Hell also be seen in Dan Foglers co-directorial debut Don Peyote, Justin Reardons R-rated rom-com A Many Splintered Thing, and hell co-star with Susan Sarandon and Ellen Burstyn in the thriller The Calling.
Clarkson, who was in Zal Batmanglijs crime thriller The East last year, will also soon star in the YA adaptation The Maze Runner.
No word on when this one will go into production, but if you leave some flour scattered on the floor, maybe the ghosts will spell it out for you.

Inmates are evaluated for eligibility in the Early Release Detail.
The ERDs gather the daily facility counts and complete a Haas daily compliance report.
Administrative Support Unit is comprised of two areas of operation: bureau training, and compliance with laws and regulations.
Training staff's main responsibility is to create and deliver Bureau wide training to Type II, Type I, and court holding facilities as a result of changes in state and federal law, Title 15/24 requirements, case law, civil/criminal litigation, policy changes, violation of compliance or a potential for civil or criminal litigation is discovered. The actions of the training section are intertwined with responsibilities of the compliance section supporting efforts and ensuring compliance is achieved through training. Training personnel also assist in many of the responsibilities belonging to the compliance and support sections of the unit.
The compliance staff's main responsibility is to ensure compliance with county, state, and federal regulations, and provide consistency throughout the Bureau, Type II facilities as well as the Type I and court holding facilities. Research of case law, legislation, penal code, title and other sources provide response to policy or procedure changes. Among other duties, the Unit is tasked with various special projects varying in size, nature, and complexity. Liaisons for the Type II, Type I, and Court Holding facilities along with Training.
Inmate Services Unit is committed to the management of the Inmate Welfare Trust Fund and providing quality care, education, and basic needs to the inmates of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Bureau of Detentions and Corrections with high professional standards of integrity, ethics, and behavior.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, working in conjunction with Chaffey Joint Union High School District and San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, has an interagency partnership that is dedicated to the education of inmates. The INROADS Program (Inmate Rehabilitation through Occupational and Academic Development Systems) provides viable and resourceful programs and services to inmates. Inmates are enrolled in academic, vocational and crisis intervention class's essential to facilitate their rehabilitation during incarceration and upon release.
Community Release Programs such as Out of Custody Programming Detail and Electronic Confinement are an integral part of the criminal justice system. Working in conjunction with the courts and the Judicial Council, San Bernardino County's Out of Custody Programming Detail provides an alternative method for qualified sentenced inmates to participate in the program. Under the direction of the court, the inmate can be released before his maximum sentence has been completed in order to reestablish ties with family, return to their previous employment, develop personal responsibility and self-sufficiency while they serve the community on their non-work days.

Today the Environmental Protection Agency announced severe restrictions on mining in Alaska's Bristol Bay watershed, which supports nearly half of all the world's sockeye salmon. The rules, if finalized, would be really bad news for efforts to build one of the world's largest open-pit gold and copper mines in the Bristol Bay headwaters—and really good news for the wildlife, native communities, and fishermen that depend on those waters (see "What a Catch").
Don't celebrate just yet—investors and their supporters in Congress are still fighting to keep the misguided mining project alive, including through lawsuits—but here's why, if the EPA follows through on its proposal, Pebble is probably buried:
1. It's already hemorrhaging investors.
Last September, one of the project's original partners, international mining giant Anglo American, pulled out, saying Pebble Mine was now a bad investment (after years of pressure from opponents, including NRDC, which publishes OnEarth). In April, one of the biggest remaining investors, Rio Tinto, did the same. Northern Dynasty is the only company left in the so-called "Pebble Partnership," which isn't much of a partnership any longer.
2. It's tough to mine when you can't dump your waste.
The EPA restrictions proposed today would limit where Northern Dynasty could dig and dispose of rocks, keeping them out of the streams and wetlands that feed the Bristol Bay watershed. The EPA says that even a much smaller mine than the one the company describes in its Securities and Exchange Commission filings (Northern Dynasty hasn't filed a permit application yet) would pose a significant threat.
"In simple terms," the agency states, "the infrastructure necessary to mine the Pebble deposit jeopardizes the long-term health and sustainability of the Bristol Bay ecosystem." The public has until September 19 to comment on the EPA rules.
3. The mine would ruin a critical ecosystem.
A peer-reviewed report published last January, three years after Alaskan tribes submitted a request, showed that a mine in Bristol Bay would destroy up to 94 miles of streams and 5,350 acres of wetlands, ponds, and lakes. Not only that, but the effects to those waterways would reverberate by preventing nutrients and water from reaching fish and waterways downstream.
4. The EPA says Bristol Bay is special … and it's right.
Using its authority under the Clean Water Act, the EPA announced plans in February to review whether Pebble Mine could move forward, potentially preventing the Army Corps of Engineers from ever issuing a discharge permit. It's a step the agency rarely takes. In fact, it has only restricted development 13 times before. "It's just an extraordinary set of circumstances in Bristol Bay that really deserve this special type of consideration," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said at the time.
5. Pebble, nobody likes you!
Alaskan native tribes, commercial fishermen, and environmental groups, including Trout Unlimited and NRDC, have said they're determined to continue fighting Pebble Mine until it's dead, dead, dead. And public sentiment is with the enviros. When the EPA issued its 2012 draft report on the effects of mining near Bristol Bay, the agency reported that 98 percent of the 204,000 public comments it had received were in support of protecting the region.
So hey, Pebble Mine, listen up: you're not welcome here. Government regulators are not going to roll over for you. And your own investors are fair-weather friends. Take the hint and just go away.

Ask FICO Inventor, Fair Isaac, Your Burning Questions
Posted By Jim On 12/03/2007 @ 11:25 am In Credit | 8 Comments
Nina, a PR person from Fleishman-Hillard on behalf of Fair Isaac, read our opinions about the subprime lending meltdown [3] and offered up an opportunity to ask two executives from Fair Isaac Corporation some questions. Fair Isaac bills themselves out as "a leading technology and business analytics company who, among other areas of expertise, works closely with lenders to make accurate and profitable decisions on extending credit. They're best known for their invention of the FICO score, the credit score most widely used by lenders."
The two we have as resources are Mike Campbell [4], EVP and CCO, and Larry Rosenberger [5], VP and Analytics Research Fellow.
So, if you have a burning question you'd like to see someone at the Fair Isaac answer, please leave them in the comments. Here are a few ideas to get the wheels turning and please feel free to ask multiple questions:
Here are a couple I've thought of:

I am 7 weeks and 4 days pregnant after going through IVF. We did a 6 day transfer.
We've had 4 ultrasounds in the past 3 weeks. Each time the technician has a hard time finding the baby. Last Wednesday we saw a heartbeat. If you didn't know what to look for you would miss it. Then yesterday it took her a little while to fine the baby again We saw the heartbeat again but the dr. does not think the baby is growing like it should. Has anyone ever heard of this. He told me I'm having a threatened miscarriage.

TRB FANTASIES:Light Rail Costs vs Road
TRB FANTASIES:Light Rail Costs vs Road
Originally published in issue 34 of Tollroads Newsletter, which came out in Dec 1998.
Subjects:light rail costs versus road
Sources:Larwin Cox
Larwin provided no backing for this claim. He cant. Its ridiculous, yet it is precisely the kind of unfounded assertion that has many good people supporting construction of new light rail lines in US cities and thinking they will be a substitute for road improvements.
Light rail is generally vastly more expensive than an enlarged highway. USDOTs last HPMS database (Status of the Nations Surface Transp Systems Condition & Performance p289) shows new highway costs as $0.9m to $2.3m/lane-km. What USDOT calls high-cost additions average up to $3.2m/lane-km. 91-Express, a recent major highway enhancement in southern California cost $125m and consists of 65 lane-km so it cost about $2m/lane-km. 80 lane-km of HOT lanes in the median of US101 in Sonoma Co CA has been costed at $128m or about $1.6m/lane-km (TRnl#28 June 1998 p1). In San Diegos I-15 plans for expansion and lengthening of the current HOT lanes involve an additional 72 lane-km to form 32km of 3-lane with a moveable barrier. The project director expects the work to cost $200m to $300m, so theres a maximum of $4m/lane-km in Larwins backyard. (TRnl #25 March 1998 p1)
Wendell Cox who tracks light rail projects says they generally run above $12m/km and can easily run to $30m/km. Most of them have trouble attracting a maximum load but they are physically capable of carrying maximum hourly passenger loads of 3,000, about the same as a general purpose motorway lane. HOV/HOT lanes of course can carry more. With a decent volume of buses, as in Houston, 8k pas/hr is achieved and the Lincoln Tunnel busway has carried over 20k pas/hr.
Not only is highway expansion usually a fraction of the cost of light rail on the mainline but it costs far less to support since the same vehicles can peel off the mainline and go into local streets closer to peoples origins and destinations, reducing the need for feeder services, shuttles and transfer stations, that are such an expensive and user-unfriendly addition to any rail system.
A rail system is usually a riskier investment than an extra roadway lane because it is such an inflexible single purpose investment for hauling commuters, whereas a highway lane serves all kinds of traffic. The extra highway lane is a fractional addition to capacity and thus more easily used productively. Any surplus capacity in a dedicated road lane for bus and vans can always be sold off to single occupant motorists, while any surplus capacity on rail just lays there unused.
Cox writes: Light rail tends mainly to move former bus passengers. Studies have generally shown that only a quarter or so of rail riders were former auto drivers... This means that the best new US light rail systems remove 750 cars at peak hour from the road.
The only reasonable way to judge the cost effectiveness of either transport investment is the cost per auto capacity created (by diverting autos in the case of rail, or by adding capacity).
At 2,500 cars per hour, the capital cost per auto capacity created of two new motorway lanes is $2,100/km, Cox says. At 750 autos removed per hour, the capital cost of a light rail line would be $16k to $40k/km, by the same measure (6 to 16 times the cost of comparable highway capacity.) And thats just the beginning, Cox points out. Light rail fares will cover 25% to 60% only of operating costs and the vehicles that ride the rails are virtually custom-built and high cost. Roads and their vehicles by contrast can be self-financing.
COMMENT: TRB as a purportedly objective professional body, a part of the National Academies of Science, should not be a party to spreading such misconceptions about the relative cost of different transp modes. This certainly serves the special interest of the rail operators and system providers, but is a serious disservice to decisionmaking officials and the public. Larwin incidentally runs the light rail system in San Diego. One wonders about the credibility of TRB when it appoints such a misinformed, self-interested person to such a top position. Whats next: Philip Morriss top guy to the National Institutes of Health? Rupert Murdoch for FCC chairman? (see Wendell Cox at www.publicpurpose.com)

Missoula County Public Schools and the Missoula Education Association (MEA), the union which represents approximately 670 certified educators in the District, have tentatively reached a one-year bargaining agreement.
Here is a copy of the news release issued Tuesday:
"The agreement is contingent on ratification by MEA members and by the District's Board of Trustees. Union members will likely vote on the agreement sometime next week, and the Board of Trustees would likely consider approval of the agreement at its regular monthly meeting on June 11.
Under the one-year agreement, bargaining unit members will receive a three percent increase in base salary for the 2013-14 contract year which begins July 1. Educators who are eligible for increases in salary based on the "steps and lanes" matrix (teachers change salary lanes after completing additional education/college credits and steps for their years of experience) will also receive increases as outlined in the matrix.
There is no change this coming contract year to employees' monthly health insurance premiums or to the District's monthly contribution (per employee) for health insurance benefits.
Steve McHugh, director of human resources and labor relations, said, "we are pleased to have reached this agreement. We believe it is fair and reasonable for both sides, and we look forward to working with our educators to have a productive 2013-14 school year."
Gary Stein, acting MEA president, said, "On behalf of the entire MEA negotiating team, we thank the MCPS bargaining team for their collaborative effort, and their willingness to consider some creative changes to address a variety of working conditions."

Cool site big guy, like your logo too Have you checked in at bikejournal.com yet? There is a clydes team there (if you want to join a team) and is a good place to log your rides even if you don't join a team.
Keep up the good work, you and Tom (Stormcrowe) can probably swap a lot of stories
Andrew... I just read through your website and was blown away! Very impressive.
I hope your San Diego ride is great. Keep us posted on your training.
Good job and cool site; but I must make one quick critique. At the bottom of the main page on your donation link should it be American Society for Bariatric Surgery not American Sociery for Bariatric Surgery. Must be the school teacher in me. I personally cannot spell, but I can always seem to catch anothers misspelling.
Please donate to the Mark Reynolds Memorial First Bike Fund at www.markreynoldsfund.org

Nice site and great story. Congratulations on turning your life around. As for your April trip from AZ to SD, how are you going about this? Are you riding solo?, do you have support?, are you staying in hotels? and are you interested in having any company?
Not that I'm inviting myself but this sounds like the kind of trip I would like to do some day. Please provide a writeup on your trip when you have completed it.
Good luck
Uphill or downhill; headwind or tailwind; Pavement or Dirt ... it's all good.
Nice design and layout. Where is the Velodome in San Diego? I lived there for 10 years and never heard of such a place.

Kid-Cycle, my San Diego ride will be a solo ride. It's 400 miles, and I will be doing it in five days. I will be staying at hotels along the way. I will also be bringing my ultra-portable laptop with me. After each night, I will update the San Diego 2007 page with a travelogue of my journey.
(51), the San Diego Velodrome is in Balboa Park. The last weekend in April is the first installment of the 2007 Arizona Track Series. We go to San Diego because there are no velodromes anywhere in Arizona.

A Metropolitan Police officer has become the 61st person to be arrested in connection with the investigation into alleged leaking of information to the press.
The 51-year-old officer, from the Territorial Policing command based in west London, was detained at around 6am at his home in Wiltshire on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He remains in custody.
The arrest was made as part of Operation Elveden, the probe into allegations of inappropriate payments to police and public officials.
However, Scotland Yard said today's arrest relates to the suspected release of confidential information but not alleged payment.

Online Colleges for Social Science
Social scientists study the ways we interact with each other and our environments. Different disciplines within the social sciences focus on specific aspects of this subject. For example, sociologists generally study the group dynamics of cultures, organizations and institutions; political scientists focus on the methods and outcomes of political systems; economists examine how resources are allocated. Other social sciences include anthropology, archaeology and geography.
Social Science Degree Programs and Careers
If you're good at both "left brain" and "right brain" thinking, you should consider getting your degree in one of the social sciences. Social scientists use logical "left brain" math skills and scientific methods in order to analyze data that is often numerical, especially in fields such as economics. But because human behavior is sometimes irrational and unpredictable, social scientists also have to engage in "right brain" thinking to understand the belief systems, including philosophies and religions, driving human actions. The right brain is also associated with risk-taking, which is necessary if you are an archaelogist or anthropologist doing field research in remote or dangerous locations.
The social sciences are one of the cornerstones of traditional colleges and universities, and nowadays there are many great online programs, as well, offering bachelor's, master's and even docotral degrees in subjects like sociology, economics and political science. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts high growth in many social science careers, such as political science and sociology. In 2009, sociologists earned $76,190 per year and historians earned $56,350.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Thank you for your post. Please permit me to assist you with your concerns.Unfortunately dealing with potential deadbeats is all too common. What this comes down to is a potential claim to the client that if they do not pay in full by a certain date, the seller will file suit against them either in small claims court (if the amount is under $10,000 and the client is located in California), or district court for losses, and in higher court, also for attorney fees as well. The client then either has to pay, or defend the suit, or at worst file bankruptcy to avoid collections. Furthermore knowingly giving a bad check is check fraud and something that the business can follow up with the DA's office and press charges against the individual.Good luck.
I contacted the Kern County, California D.A.'s office, but they stated STOP PAYMENT disputes are not addressed by their office.
Is small claims the only recourse?
Thank you for your follow-up, Michale.In that case i am afraid that it is. It may potentially also be an FBI matter if the check crossed state lines--that may create a claim that this would be a federal violation. But ultimately this is a small claims matter.Good luck.

Stephen Boots
United States
I've been passionate about computers and technology since my Introduction to Computers course in college back in 1975 or so. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Technology and worked in the steel fabrication industry for a few years before being able to put my passion to work full time. My first PC was an IBM and I bought it with a copy of Microsoft Word 1.0 and the original MS Mouse. We've certainly come a long way since those early days and I've enjoyed the ride. I am a Manager in IT at UPS and a forum moderator in my spare time. You'll find me as a moderator at the Virus and Malware forums at http://answers.microsoft.com and the forums at www.computerhaven.com. I can be found in the various Windows Live microsoft.public newsgroups that still exist on nntp. Prior to their closure, I moderated the Windows OneCare forums and the Live Mesh forums at http://social.microsoft.com as well as the Windows Live topic on the Windows Experts Community.

What's The Catch? Is The Wrong Question
Posted By Jim On 11/01/2006 @ 12:56 pm In Personal Finance | 2 Comments
MoneyFwd [3] left this comment in my post about Matt's experiences with the Invest with $100 post [4]: "I think people also still believe deep down that it's hard to get this extra money since for so long we've lived with the idea that there's always a catch."
What's The Catch? is the wrong question to be asking nowadays. In the past, businesses offered a great deal at the front door and managed to pilfer you out the back door; but this is no longer the case in most instances. With the speed of information and the ability of consumer to sniff out a bad deal (and then tell their friends), businesses no longer rely on these tricky tactics to earn money. Why do credit cards offer $100 gift cards [5] for you sign up for their cards? It's because they can make so much more money off your use of that card that the $100 is a pittance. Every time you charge that card, they make 2% off the transaction. If you carry a balance, they make money. You forget a payment (and don't call them), they make money. They don't need to trick you. They make money hand over fist in their daily operations that they don't need to trick you with a catch. In fact, if they were to trick you and you found out, think of the millions and millions they'd lose when you blogged about it and someone like the Consumerist [6] picks it up?
The question should be a little different: How Do They Make Money? If you can't figure it out, that's when you should worry about it being a scam. How can this company sell me windows for $50 a piece? Why is this guy from Nigeria sending me a check for $5000, asking me to deposit it, and then send them the difference on a $50 bicycle on Craigslist? Understand the motivations on the other side of the "table" and you'll find out why they're there and whether you're getting taken for a ride.
