Jackie Crandles
Remote Host, CP24
Jackie Crandles joined CP24 in April, 2012 as a remote host, allowing this Pickering, ON native to cover live breaking news in the GTA. Prior to joining the CP24 team, Crandles spent just over four years as a reporter, anchor and weather specialist for CTV Barrie where she honed her skills for live and tight deadline reporting.
Career milestones to date include covering the court cases of Barrie mother Elaine Campione convicted of drowning her two young children in Fall of 2010 and in 2011 reporting on the murder of Jordan Morrison, a Barrie teen, killed in the Dominican Republic. She was also on the ground for the 2010 Olympic Torch relay as it passed through the Barrie area for CTV Barrie. Crandles has been a reporting force on the streets for CP24, as one of the first reporters on the scene of the Eaton Centre shootings in June 2012, and covering the 2012 Diamond Jubilee visit to Toronto by Prince Charles and Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall.
Before she graduated from post-secondary studies, Crandles got her feet wet in production as a chase producer for CTV News Channel, then known as CTV NewsNet. She learned the building blocks of live breaking television news and applied that knowledge to an internship with TV Ontario (TVO) where she was a researcher and producer, and contributed to TVO's online blog. Next, Crandles parlayed an internship with 680 News into her first on-air position in radio as a traffic reporter.
While at school at York University, for an Honours B.A in English and Seneca College joint program in Broadcast Journalism, Crandles excelled in her writing, winning the Susan Anton Clark award for academic achievement from York University and "Best Writer" award at Seneca College media awards. She was also the valedictorian of her graduating class from York University.
In her spare time, Crandles is an avid runner, reader and camper. Her family, friends, and husband Jamie are what matters most in life for her. Crandles also takes time out of her schedule to assist in fundraising efforts for Community Living Newmarket Aurora, a non-profit organization that provides support to individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Nonprofit Partner Organizations
PIFP Fellows Britt Landis (left) and Danial Rheiner (middle)
present their research on hospital charity care policies
in the House Health and Environment Committee of the Colorado legislature.
Partnering to Build a New Generation of Nonprofit Leaders
In pursuit of long-term partnerships, CC's Public Interest Fellowship Program encourages participation from nonprofit (501c3) public interest organizations:
- That address a significant social issue or issues
- That focus on systemic change within society rather than on treating the symptoms of societal issues
- That are innovative and effective
- That can provide meaningful projects and learning opportunities
- That will utilize the skills of their Fellow in a way that builds capacity for their organization
How the Partnership Works
For the 2016-17 program cycle, prospective partner organizations will apply to the program by November 2, 2015 (links to timeline and application forms at left), providing key information about their organization, including a detailed job description for the fellowship.
Once chosen as a PIFP Partner Organization (late November 2015), nonprofits gain access to highly competent, committed, and energetic candidates who have studied on Colorado College's unique Block Plan, which teaches students to explore and analyze subjects intensively, while working in teams with faculty and students to provide answers and solutions on short deadlines.
Each PIFP candidate is interviewed by PIFP to ensure a good fit for a fellowship position before he or she is recommended to an organization. Organizations are forwarded three or four pre-qualified candidates, which they interview before choosing a Fellow.
Summer Fellowships are 10 weeks in length (typically beginning in late May or early June). Partner organizations pay the Summer Fellow a stipend of $3500.
Yearlong Fellowships are 12 months in length (typically beginning in early June). Partner organizations pay the Yearlong Fellow a stipend of $26,500 for the year, plus cover health insurance.
Organizations may apply for funds to offset the cost of hosting a fellow. Please see the partner organization application form for more information.

When interior designer Kristi Dinner, of Denver's Company kd, suggested a gray and red color scheme as a way of brightening Shelly and Garett Voecks' dated galley kitchen, the young couple hesitated. "We had a hard time visualizing light, bright and airy with those colors," says Shelly, who knew the existing dark wood cabinets, paneled appliances and Mexican tile had to go.
Meanwhile, Dinner not only had to prove her instincts were on target for melding the renovated kitchen with the rest of the charming 1933 Mediterranean-style house, but she had to marry Shelly's aesthetic requirements with Garett's needs as a gourmet cook. "He wanted commercial-grade appliances and it was obvious that his request was going to eat up a lot of the budget," says the designer, who opened an existing archway as much as possible to make room for a state-of-the-art stove with six burners and a griddle. "We had to do some rebuilding of the space to accommodate the size of the new appliances, but we kept the remodeled kitchen in the same footprint as the old."
Content to let the stainless steel make the requisite modern statement, Dinner pondered how she could rework the existing cabinets—"They weren't badly constructed, just ugly," she says—into something that would exude Old World charm. "I showed the owners fine European furniture pieces with different layers of paint coming through and applied that same idea to the cabinets," says Dinner. "We started with layers of deep garnet followed by layers of a taupe gray and rubbed it through to get the red on the edges." To prevent the end result from looking like a "sea of wood," Dinner cut out the center raised panel of some of the doors, replaced them with chicken wire, and proceeded to paint the cabinet interiors a garnet red hue. "I did that to set off the dishes," she says, noting that she also replaced all the knobs and pulls. "There's nothing like fresh paint and hardware to update a space and add value."
For continuity, playful touches of red appear throughout the space. Garnet flecks add zest to the granite countertop, red sliding spice shelves pop on either side of the ovens, red specks perk up the terrazzo tile floor, and dozens of small red square glass tiles catch the eye in the backsplash that surrounds the stove. "That's one of my tricks. I like exploding pattern in small spaces," says Dinner. "I felt it was important to have color and pattern around the stove, but it's contained so you can get away with it."
The intricate pattern is repeated behind the new breakfast counter, which is set beneath an original arched window at the far end of the kitchen. "These are all-natural materials that work because they don't look ultra-modern or trendy," says the designer. "Other than the appliances, everything looks like it could be from the 1930s, making it all a perfect fit for the architecture."

I'm looking to implement a backup scheme to suit a particular use, comments or ideas are welcome.
We've got many domains on our system and a few TB of data and are currently using the auto grouped backups for all of our users. A full system backup would take more than 18 hours.
Auto grouped works great for our internal use, restoring "lost" user data and the likes, however, we would like to make separate, distinct backups for select domains. Auto Grouped backups don't support this, it seems to be either an all or nothing approach.
So far, what we've come up with is:
Once a week, full backup run for all accounts in Select domains.
When this backup has completed, kick off an Auto Grouped backup of the entire system.
All other days of the week, Run an incremental for all accounts in the select domains, then kick off the grouped backup afterwards.
From what I understand, the grouped backups will not include the accounts from the select domains, due to them not matching the requirements needed for auto-grouping to work. (incremental taken more than a day ago, full backup less than a week ago)
What I want to avoid is having multiple copies of the same backup data, or a total re-write of the backup methodology (though I will admit, it may be necessary)

Hey guys, sorry for not updating this blog as much as before. A lot has been going on lately and I'm trying very hard to cope. Feel free to leave a comment under this entry if you have any questions and requests, I will try to answer everything either tomorrow or Friday.
aw, whatever that's going on right now … i hope it gets better for you =). stay strong!~
wish you all the best la babe.
hey phyllis, i hope whenever you have time you'll come back to this blog that so many people love!
and also if you have time could you please tell me where you got your mineralize skin finishes? are they all or mostly limited edition? because i live in australia and none of my friends have heard of them.i also went on the MAC site and there's none there either.
thanks for this blog whether or not you reply! 😛
thanks guys =)
Jen, all of MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes are limited edition that's why you don't see them in stores/online anymore. You can prolly still find some of them on ebay but I heard they're going for a lot higher than the retail price. The good news, however, is that MAC is releasing more in July. There's no word as to whether they are new colors or repromotes of old shades yet so you might want to wait a little.
i'm so sorry about what's happening in your life. hope whatever it is changes for the best. your blog is great, bless ya.

Watch This Thirsty Dog Fall In The Pool
By Mack Rawden 3 years ago
Pet owners are a lot like parents. Both groups typically like to think their animals and/ or babies are way smarter than everyone elses. An overwhelming majority of the time, however, theyre wrong. Most pets, like most people, are somewhere around the average mark, capable of both clever insights and alarming stupidity.
The above video is most definitely an example of the latter. Thirsty and willing to tempt fate, the dog makes her way to the edge of the pool to drink from the hose. The owner warns that the edge is slippery, and, of course, it proves to be exactly that.
People are funny about letting their dogs swim in the pool. Ive known some owners who have let their breeds paddle along every single time the family jumps inside the swimming hole, and Ive known other owners who dont even let the poor canines look at the pool without reminding them theyre not allowed in. Luckily for Coda, her owner seems pretty amused by the whole thing.
Not surprisingly, there was a pretty big outcry from some of the almost one million viewers who have already watched the clip to know what happened immediately after the dog fell in. As the owner kept recording, he was generous enough to put that clip online, as well. You can take a look at it below

In the face of a widening current account deficit and a weakened currency, the ministry of finance finally relaxed rules to permit unlisted Indian companies to raise capital by listing directly on overseas stock exchanges. Going back in the history of this legislation, companies in the pre-2005 era could list overseas directly even if they were not listed in India, and this was used by companies like Rediff and Sify. In 2005, a rule was introduced whereby Indian companies could approach international capital markets only if they were already listed in India or did so in parallel to the overseas listing, which begs the question: if a company can successfully list in India in the first place, would it be tempted to approach overseas markets at all? The other aspect was that listed Indian companies were permitted to raise overseas capital using the depository receipts route (GDRs or ADRs) and not a full equity float.
The Indian equity markets have been subdued over the past few years and investor response to most IPOs has been tepid. In fact, a sharply declining trend in domestic IPOs is visiblewhile a total of R37,500 crore was raised in 64 IPOs in 2010, 2013 till date has witnessed only 24 companies raising less than
R1,500 crore. Given this background, while Indian companies across sectors have been struggling to raise fresh capital, private equity investors on the other hand, were anxiously awaiting an exit. Promoters and investors alike were eagerly awaiting this relaxationlets see if everyones prayers have been answered.
The notification is pretty straight forwardit permits unlisted Indian companies to list in overseas countries compliant with IOSCO/ FATF or where Sebi has bilateral agreements, which ensures applicability of high governance and control standards. Most of the key global markets such as the US, Luxembourg, Singapore, Netherlands and London are covered by these bodies. However, the government is permitting this window only for two years, which could mean that its a temporary relaxation and not a structural change for the long term.
The notification requires the issuer company to comply with the FDI policy in force during any overseas listing, which is logical. However, one needs to see whether there is a ceiling on the proportion of foreign investment raised via this route (akin to the current regulations governing GDR issues) or if it will be a free window.
The notification casts a requirement on the company to

The two contenders for the Air Force aerial-refueling tanker contract, Boeing and Airbus parent EADS, submitted their final bids Thursday...
The two contenders for the Air Force aerial-refueling tanker contract, Boeing and Airbus parent EADS, submitted their final bids Thursday.
Boeing has proposed a military version of its 767 airliner, to be built on its Everett assembly line alongside commercial jets.
EADS is offering an Airbus A330 tanker, to be assembled at a new wide-body jet facility in Mobile, Ala., along with commercial A330 freighter jets.
Since both contending airplanes meet all the mandatory-performance requirements, the terms of the competition mandate that the lowest price should be decisive.

Boeing CEO Jim McNerney on Thursday said Boeing's final bid price is "aggressive but responsible."
Speaking to analysts at a conference in New York, The Associated Press reported, McNerney told his audience: "The people in this room would be glad if we won at the bid level that we've put in, and would be happy if we lost at a lower level."
However, price in the end may not be the deciding factor because the contest has become heavily politicized.
Boeing supporters in Congress have characterized the lengthy contest as a fight between U.S. and European interests. Boeing claims that over 40 years, a 767 win would support 50,000 jobs around the U.S., with about 11,000 of those in Washington state.
Airbus claims that an A330 tanker win would support 48,000 American jobs. Neither side provides details to support their figures.
Boeing executives and their Congressional supporters have so far failed to persuade the Pentagon to take into account illegal subsidies EADS received in development of the A330.
There are signs the contest may drag on beyond the Air Force decision, which is expected next month. Boeing appears ready to consider another formal protest if EADS wins.
In 2008, Boeing successfully protested a previous award of the contract to EADS on procedural grounds. This time, the basis of another protest could lie in a mistake by the Air Force procurement office last November.
In that incident, data on the Boeing plane was inadvertently sent to Airbus. The Air Force tried to fix the error by giving both sides access to the corresponding data on its rival, but Boeing has continued to query what happened.
Boeing CEO McNerney put forward Boeing's view of what's at stake in a statement Thursday:
"This decision is critical to America's national security and its manufacturing base," McNerney said.
In contrast, EADS North America Chairman Ralph Crosby chose not to look through that political lens, instead insisting that Airbus' jet is better for the Air Force mission.
"We're proud to compete on the merits of our tanker offering and support the warfighter's right to choose the aircraft they will go to war in," said Crosby.
The contract is worth $35 billion directly, to replace the current fleet of Boeing-built KC-135 tankers with 179 new tankers. A further $5 billion or more in operational support is also at stake.

Well if CE is a potential CRT front runner, it looks like the CRTs are really gonna strugle next year. The more bikes on the grid, the better but if it turns into 3 separate races (Honda/Yam, Ducati/Satellites, CRTs) that could kind of defeat the object. Next year should be an interesting -if predictable (a bit like 500cc vs 990cc)- experiment, but looking forward to it going all CRT in 2013 to reel in Honda/Yam & level the field a bit. (& Team Rossi/Burgess/Honda?!!) Good luck Colin! You're gonna need some!

I spent an sunny spring hour picking buds and two hands off hours letting it get melty over a double boiler. The original recipe came from this book
which I HIGHLY recommend for anyone in the Pacific Northwest. It's packed full of amazing recipes, foraging tips and hand drawn plant parts that really show the difference in plants. Okay it also has photos too. I've yet to find a plant that wasn't in the book, believe me I tried!
Cottonwood Bud Balm
1 cup of lard
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of beeswax
fabric to strain through
jars or tins to hold your balm
pick the cottonwood buds--make sure you either pick your own or get permission to pick your neighbors, try not to pick every bud from a branch this will hurt the tree--yeah I know they are just cottonwood trees but it's good practice when foraging, use it always and you'll never kill something by over picking it
put them in the top of the double boiler, I used a pyrex bowl over a pan of boiling water, along with the lard, the oil and the beeswax
melt everything together, reduce heat, cover and let infuse for at least 2 hours
strain through a piece of muslin or a couple layers of cheese cloth
then pour into tins or jars
|melting together
|strained and tinned
The smell of this balm is heavenly, it smells of fresh air, spring and earth energy. It feels alive and we love it. I'm glad to have a use for those silly sticky little buds that annoy so many folks. It really helps bring the outdoors in and even extend that spring feeling right on into summer.
Peace and Love--

When you are buying an LCD monitor for gaming, response time and contrast ratio rule, because not too many are terribly worried about 100% accurate colour representation. When doing graphic design, the exact opposite is true. In some applications, in order to get a realistic looking model, you need to use a palette of colours that differ in only the most minute way and if you can't see the difference in shades you cannot do it.
Good price, great power

It's modular, with up to 19 cable strands available, it has 4 12V lines for a total of 640W and 20A per line with a max load of 50A and it runs below 40dBA. When you turn it off, it uses 0W and with an efficiency of 84% and active PFC of up to 0.99, you get a lot for ~$230. Get over to the Guru of 3D for the full review.

HotHardware reviews AMD's A64 X2 series based on the 65nm Brisbane core. With 4 different socket AM2 processors, running from 2.1 to 2.6GHz and sporting 153.8 million transistors it sounds like a great replacement for the Windsor core. Although the Brisbane does run a little slower than a Windsor at the same speed, it also uses less power which reinforces AMD's desire for efficiency and getting more work per watt.

The Spire Fourier series has a very unique look. By putting the fan below the heatsink fins, and using heatpipes to transfer the heat to those fins, you guarantee that the airflow is going where you want it. This also leads to a bit of a tricky install with the mounting plates, but at least there is little chance of putting a screwdriver through your motherboard. Drop by Pro-clockers for the full review of this heatsink, and take a look at what a big block of unobstructed copper looks like on a motherboard.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Giudice Trying To "Rise Above" Bankruptcy Woes
July 29, 2010 07:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Teresa Giudice, star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is speaking out about her financial troubles, bankruptcy filing, and the forthcoming auction to sell her private possessions. Despite a recent episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey which showed Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe, enjoying a lavish anniversary celebration, Teresa sets the record straight on her recent bankruptcy and her new attitude in life. Keep reading for more details…
In a new blog on Bravo's website, Teresa Giudice addresses the rumors and speculation surrounding her recent financial woes. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star writes that the bankruptcy stems from "real estate deals gone bad in a bad economy." She adds, "We didn't spend millions of dollars on gold toilets or private planes. We bought buildings, fixed them up. The economy crash trickled down to everyone.â€
The bankruptcy filing is not something that Teresa Giudice or her husband, Joe, are taking lightly."We worked so hard for so many years and it was heartbreaking to file [for bankruptcy], and not something we took lightly,†she blogs. "[We] got new jobs, and are working hard once again."
As for the recent legal woes that have accompanied the bankruptcy filing (including a court-ordered auction which the Giudices' lawyer is objecting), Teresa Giudice chalks it up to standard legal proceedings. "If you've ever been unfortunate enough to be involved in a legal situation, you know it's a lot of back and forth between both sides,†Giudice writes. "Right now, our bankruptcy trustee is trying to get an auction going, and our lawyer is objecting it. Every day, there are new tactics used, stories circulated, and details 'leaked' to the press, but it's all part of the legal wrangling."
Regardless of the public's criticism, Teresa Giudice is trying to keep a good attitude in light of the difficult situation. "All I can do is rise above it, keep my head high, and know that at the end of the day, I have my family, my health, and I'm in God's hands,†she writes. "Nothing else matters, certainly not a lamp."

Teresa, Joe, and so-called business partner entered into re-habing complexes, I believe,
like other developers,as LLCs, during the real estate go-go days with liar loans. The sewer bankers knew these people didn't have the assets to pay back the loans, thus, the taxpayers got left holding the golden bags they walked out the bank with me by signing fake loan papers. They should be in jail drinkimg the toilet water, instead of Teresa refusing to sit on an used toilet. In fact, I made it as a a real housewife through hard work with the cards stacked against me. Teresa and Joe are just high rolling welfarers living off taxpayers.

It's an astounding trend. The past 11 times teams have met back-to-back in NFL title games, AFL title games or AFC, NFC championships, the same team has won both games. When you throw in the Cowboys-Bills consecutive Super Bowls of 1992-93 (each won by Dallas), it's an 0-12 rematch record for the team losing the first of two back-to-back championship games.
No to mention the Pats are 4-0 at home in AFC Championship games.

Capturing the cycling life
Veteran cycling journalist Mark Johnson's coffee-table book "Argyle Armada" chronicles a year in the life of one pro team, Garmin-Cervélo. The Del Mar resident will be at Warwick's Thursday at 7:30 p.m. He answered questions by email.
You've been covering cycling as a photographer and writer since the 1980s. What do you find most compelling about the sport?
As a photographer, the sport's pageantry and the fact that its races spool across some of the planet's most dramatic natural arenas. The sight of a 200-rider peloton streaming through a sun-drenched French village in the Alps or rattling over rain-soaked Belgian cobblestones is forever thrilling. And whether shooting inches from the riders from the back of a motorcycle or high above while perched on the side of cliff, the sport throws constant compositional and technical challenges at you.
From the writer's perspective, I'm most fascinated by the characters who bring the sport to life and the culture of a sport that is at once regal and quite primitive. Regal because its history is full of heroic kingly figures like the great Belgian Eddy Merckx. Primitive because those heroes are often flawed, and because the sport so cruelly disposes of the unfit and unprepared.
Why did you decide to follow one team for an entire year?
The pro cycling season starts in January in Australia and ends in October with races in Italy and China. Over those 10 months, a host of political, social, economic, and physical events buffet a team and its nearly 30 riders. To accurately represent the behind-the-scenes life of a pro team, I owed it to the readers to be there for as much of the season as possible.
You can see the effect of time on the riders when you compare their spirits at September's three-week Tour of Spain (where they suffered horrifying crashes and were just surviving) to their presence at July's Tour de France, where they were thriving.
Following the team for a year also allowed me to observe the staff — people like the mechanics and soigneurs (jack-of-all trades who do everything from massage therapy to washing rider clothing to picking up VIPs at the airport) — do their jobs and manage to live out of a suitcase for months on end.
Why this particular team?
From their beginnings in 2003 as a development team for young U.S. riders, this team had claimed to be 100-percent clean. The team's founder and director, an ex-Lance Armstrong teammate named Jonathan Vaughters, quit pro cycling in 2002 because he was wearied by the sport's corruption by doping.
I wanted to follow this team to find out first, if all that talk of clean riding was more than window dressing, and secondly, to see if they could really take on the world's best without cheating. Indeed, when Vaughters signed American GPS manufacturer Garmin in 2007 and cobbled together enough funding to hire riders like Christian Vande Velde and David Millar and get an invite to the Tour de France in 2008, his project was greeted with ridicule, if not outright contempt, by European cycling's old guard.
I also wanted to follow this team because Vaughters is an entrepreneur. He wants to precipitate major changes in the business of cycling, to move it out of its hidebound, narrow-minded past and match the professional side of the sport with a pastime that is simply exploding around the world.
What were the most revealing moments for you during the year?
Witnessing the team's sheer joy when they won Paris-Roubaix in April, and then again two months later when they won their first-ever Tour de France stage — the stage two team time trial in Les Essarts. They showed the world that you can really race, and win, at the very highest level of cycling without doping. Until those two moments, I'm not sure anyone believed that notion was more than a fairy tale.

Rough economic times for tollers worldwide
The Wall Street Journal has a p1 headline "New Signs of Global Slowdown" and a "darkening" economic outlook around the world. Today's news in the US is merely of drop in capital goods orders, the second monthly drop. But economic data from around the world while not dramatic is remarkably consistent in pointing to a new slowdown in economies virtually around the world.
Economic Cycle researcher Lakshman Achuthan cites for the US:
- coincident indicators, all major broad measures (output, sales, income and jobs) are all turning down together, a sign that "a recession is at the doorstep"
- income growth lower than the level of the last ten recessions
"We have 223 years of business cycle history, we have had 47 recessions, and we have the hope that if the Fed can print enough money we can stave off the 48th recession, but the odds are not in our favor."
The elections six months off make any kind of intelligent response by the federal government more difficult.
Europe of course is in the throes of the biggest challenge to the Euro in decades with likely defaults by Greece and possible other countries.
China a former growth leader looks increasingly weak as it struggles with vast inventories of empty housing and commercial buildings and underutilized infrastructure - with financial crises likely to follow.
Brazil the biggest economy in South America has seen a contraction every month this year.
Fuel costs down
One of the few bits of good news is the major decline in world oil prices in the past few months - 15%. Gasoline and diesel are on the way down too of course.
But that may reflect weak demand as much as improved supply. And to the extent the big oil price rise last year was driven by hedging and speculation about war in the Persian Gulf, these prices could go up again too.
VMT weak
Of direct interest to tollers vehicle miles traveled (VMT) are bumping around month to month but the so far the basic trend seems to be flat, or even a tad down.
From mid 2010 through mid-2011 there seemed to be faint signs of recovery, but since then VMT has dropped again slightly.
Recently released INRIX data on the 150 most congested urban corridors in the country showed an approximate 1% drop in traffic 2011/2010.
The latest FHWA figures - a moving 12 months VMT total - shows US drivers still well below the 3 trillion vehicle-miles figure reached in the years 2006 and 2007.
The high in driving was 3,039b November 2007. In March this year we were 3.24% below that and since October last year we've been at least 3% below every month.
For a good period now the FHWA numbers and the INRIX data mesh, showing us now down a bit nationally on 2010, when we got within 2.5% of the Nov 2007 high.
With the economy so weak probably the best to hope for is an essentially flat trend line for the foreseeable future.
A significant drop in traffic is more likely if the present gloomy overall economic trends compound and produce a further recession.

22 October 2003 — A new report released on Capitol Hill today by former officials from the highest level of the American military and government reveals that Israel "committed acts of murder against American serviceman and an act of war against the United States" when it deliberately attacked the American Navy Ship USS Liberty in 1967, killing 34 and wounding 172 American crewmembers. Israel had alleged that the two-hour attack with napalm, missiles, and torpedoes was a mistake.
The release of the Independent Commission of Inquiry's findings is a major step in debunking the myth that Israel is a friend to the United States and the American people, said Alison Weir, Executive Director of If Americans Knew, an organization dedicated to providing information on issues misreported in the American media.
"The fact that this Independent Commission of Inquiry was made up of prestigious American leaders will encourage the largely misinformed American public to take a closer look at the relationship between Washington and Israel. It is likely that once they examine this 'friendship,' Americans will demand a change in their government's policies, which empower the brutal oppression of the Palestinians," Weir said.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and four-star Admiral Thomas Moorer is outraged at the cover-up of the attack and the fact that this is the only attack on a US ship that has never been investigated by Congress.
A wounded Liberty crew member.
"Why would our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own?" Moorer asked. "Does it continue to do so? This is an important issue that should be investigated by an independent, fully empowered commission of the American government. Our own Independent Commission of Inquiry findings have grave implications for our national security and for the American people. In order to confront this problem, the American people and our elected officers will need to overcome their fear of the pro-Israel lobby in the United States."
Members of the Independent Commission of Inquiry have now been joined by the Chief Attorney in the Navy's original 1967 Court of Inquiry into the case. After remaining silent for more than three decades, Captain Ward Boston describes in a sworn affidavit how he and many others were ordered to never speak about the attack on the USS Liberty.
"I know from personal conversations I had with Admiral Kidd [president of the Court of Inquiry] that President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered him to conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary," states the affidavit.
Captain Boston said he felt compelled to "share the truth" because of "recent attempts to rewrite history."
Post attack, the Liberty is damaged and listing.
"In particular, the recent publication of Jay Cristol's book, The Liberty Incident, twists the facts and misrepresents the views of those of us who investigated the attack� Contrary to the misinformation presented by Cristol and others, it is important for the American people to know that it is clear that Israel is responsible for deliberately attacking an American ship and murdering American sailors," the affidavit continues.
In addition, Boston said he is motivated by his opposition to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. In an interview, he spoke of the sorrow he feels for the Palestinian people and expressed disgust at Israel's policy of targeting children: "It is terrible what is being done to those [Palestinian] children."

Nevermind the "random dude is reported to have said X on the internet" stuff....
....what was Israel's motive to take a couple potshots at one US ship, admit that it happened, and then call it an accident?
it's called pretext for war. why did they admit it happened? they had no choice, they failed at sinking the ship and there were survivors. why did they say it was an accident? why would they admit to doing it on purpose? try thinking for yourself.

but the US wasn't involved and the US didn't support Israel's take over of the Sinai. amassing troops on your own borders in preparation of defense is not an act of war.
for the sake of argument, even if we do accept the ridiculous claim that Israel attacked the Liberty out of negligence, the attack took place in international waters. this territory was not under the control of Israel and they had no authority to attack it. that in itself is a war crime.
anyone who takes a serious look at the event, thinks rationally, and listens to the testimonies of the survivors has no choice but to accept the fact that our closest ally attacked us. you would have to be the most naive and ignorant person to argue otherwise.
"Never before has the US Navy ignored eye witness testimony of American military to accept on faith the story of their attackers."
i side with my American heroes who were aboard that ship. who's side are you on????

then there was the issue of Israel executing Egyptian POW's and not wanting the Liberty, a top level spy ship, finding out.
The following is from an article ("ISRAEL REPORTEDLY KILLED POWS IN '67 WAR: HISTORIANS SAY DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF EGYPTIANS WAS COVERED UP") in The Washington Post on August 17, 1995:
"Israeli soldiers killed hundreds of Egyptian prisoners of war during the 1967 Middle East war - deaths that commanders who are now prominent leaders have known about for years, historians said today. The controversy involves some top politicians, including Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and legislator Rafael Eitan [who also gave us U.S. Navy spy Jonathan Pollard, and then lied about it], a former army chief. The allegations dominated news shows, shocking many Israelis who have long prized the notion that their army maintained high ethical standards throughout decades of warfare with the Arab world and military rule over Palestinians. The Army spokesman, Brig. Gen. Amos Gilad, refused to comment. Rabin, who was chief of staff when some of the 1967 killings allegedly were committed, walked away today when a reporter shouted a related question. His office later issued a statement denouncing the killings and calling them isolated incidents.
"Military historian Aryeh Yitzhaki said today that Israeli troops carried out several mass killings in 1967 in which about 1,000 Egyptian prisoners were slain in the Sinai. Yitzhaki, who worked in the army's history department after the war, said he and other officers collected testimony from dozens of solders who admitted killing POWs. He said a report on the killings submitted to his superiors has been locked in a safe at military headquarters.
"Another Israeli historian, Uri Milstein, said there were many incidents in the 1967 war in which Egyptian soldiers were killed by Israeli troops after they had raised their hands in surrender.
"It was not an official policy, but there was an atmosphere that it was okay to do it," Milstein said. "Some commanders decided to do it; others refused. But everyone knew about it."
The following is from an article ("HISTORIAN ALLEGES POW DEATHS IN 1956, 1967") posted by the Jewish Telegraph Agency on August 17, 1995:
"An Israeli military historian has said he knew of hundreds of Egyptian prisoners of war who were killed during the 1967 Six-Day War by Israel Defense Force troops, including a unit headed by the current Israeli housing minister. Military historian Aryeh Yitzhaki of Bar-Illan University told Israel Radio on Wednesday that the killings involved a crack unit led by now Housing Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer. Yitzhaki said the executions of 300 to 400 Egyptian commandos in El Arish was the worse case he knew, given that many of the Egyptians had surrendered. They were killed by members of the Shaked commando unit under the command of Ben-Eliezer, a lieutenant colonel at the time, he said. Ben-Eliezer said he was unaware of any prisoner killings.
"Referring to the Six-Day War, Yitzhaki said not only were the executions known, but a report he prepared in 1968 on the deaths was not released under instructions from higher authorities. Responding to the reports, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said he thought such incidents were exceptions to the norm and that they should be condemned by all."
The following is from a front page article ("DEBATE TAINTING IMAGE OF PURITY WRENCHES ISRAELIS: A MORE OPEN SOCIETY TAKES UP KILLING OF POWS DURING WARS") in The Washington Post on August 19, 1995:
"This week, as more soldiers came forward to say they saw fellow Israelis kill unarmed enemies in decades past, a long-suppressed public reckoning began. The stakes are profound for an army whose "purity of arms" has been the core of its self-image through five wars. . . . Also Wednesday, military historian Arye Yitzhaki of Bar Ilan University accused a storied reconnaissance unit, known as Shaked (Almond), of killing hundreds of Egyptians who had abandoned their weapons and fled into the desert in the 1967 Middle East war. . . . One day after Yitzhaki's charge came a first-person account by Gabi Brun of Yedioth Aharonoth, the country's most widely read tabloid. He wrote of watching Israeli troops execute five Egyptian prisoners in the Sinai Desert town of El Arish in 1967. The first of the five, he wrote, was forced to dig the grave. Each of them in turn was shot dead in it. "For a Jew to read this description, I don't know what to say," said left-wing activist Uri Avinery, who is demanding prosecution of Israeli war criminals. "This is the typical SS technique. This is a Nazi story in the most literal sense of the word." . . . . [Ariel] Sharon, interviewed at home today, [described] the sudden debate of old war crimes as "a kind of national suicide. Israel doesn't need this, and no one can preach to us about it - no one," he said. "The Israeli armed forces are a model and symbol of high moral values . . . We speak about an event that took place 40 years ago. Now, when all of us live in a different condition, it's very hard sitting in armchairs and air-conditioned rooms to try and understand what happened on those battlefields. . . . I'm not justifying things like that." . . . . Rabin, too, described this week's traumatic debate as akin to 'national suicide.'"
The following is from an article ("RABIN REFUSES TO PROBE ALLEGED ISRAELI WAR CRIMES") in the Minneapolis Star Tribune on August 21, 1995:
"Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin rejected calls Sunday to investigate long-suppressed allegations of Israeli war crimes against Egyptian prisoners of war, saying both sides were guilty of aberrations.
"I'm not saying there were no aberrations," Rabin told the Cabinet in his first substantive remarks on the alleged atrocities. "There were aberrations on both sides. There is no purpose in raising events of the past, not on our side and not on theirs. . . . Cabinet Secretary Shmuel Hollander said Rabin stressed Sunday that "these events were real exceptions." Israel is reeling from two weeks of revelations that its soldiers killed prisoners and civilians in at least three Mideast Wars. The disclosures have shaken the widely held conviction among Israelis that their citizen-soldiers were morally superior to other armies. . . Military historian Aryeh Yitzhaki charged that Israeli troops carried out mass killings in the Sinai in 1967 in which 1,000 Egyptian prisoners died . . . Many questions remain unanswered, including the extent of the alleged crimes, why details were censored for so long and the involvement of senior Israeli officials, including Rabin, who was Army chief of staff during the 1967 war."
The following is from an article (AFTER A GENERAL TELLS OF KILLING POWS IN 1956, ISRAELIS ARGUE OVER ETHICS OF WAR) that appeared in The New York Times on August 21, 1995:
"At the same time, a reporter for Yediot Ahronot, Gabi Bron, described atrocities that he witnessed in the 1967 war: "The Egyptian prisoners of war were ordered to dig pits and then army police shot them to death. I witnessed the executions with my own eyes in the morning of June 8, in the airport area of El Arish."
The following is from a front page article (EGYPT SAYS ISRAELIS KILLED POWS IN '67 WAR) in The New York Times on September 21, 1995:
"Egypt said today that it had discovered two mass graves in the Sinai [near El Arish] containing the remains of Egyptian prisoners of war and unarmed civilians shot by Israeli soldiers during the 1967 war. . . . At the same time, an Israeli historian said that as many as 300 unarmed Egyptian were killed in both the 1967 war and in the war of 1956. Those reports led to other allegations and revelations. . . . "I saw a line of prisoners, civilians and military, and they opened fire at them all at once," Mr. [Abdelsalam] Moussa was quoted as saying. "When they were dead, they told us to bury them. . . Al Ahram [an Egyptian newspaper] also quoted a bedouin, Suleman Moghnem Salameh, who said he saw Israelis kill about 30 Egyptian soldiers and officers after they surrendered, leaving them for the Bedouins to bury. . . . President Mubarak has called for an investigation in Israel and punishment of those responsible. Israel responded by sending Elli Dayan, a Deputy Foreign Minister, to discuss the matter. During his visit here, he offered compensation to the victims but noted Israel's 20-year statute of limitations."
Next, again parroting the Shalem Center's Mr. Oren, Aftergood charges:
"Meanwhile, Bamford infers that the Israelis must have known that they were attacking an American ship because, as he discovered, an American surveillance aircraft was flying overhead at the time and it recorded Israeli pilots' references to a U.S. flag.
"But Bamford's source, the American airman and linguist who recorded those communications, reached an 'opposite' conclusion. Marvin E. Nowicki wrote in a letter to the Wall Street Journal (16 May 2001) that the Israeli military forces 'prosecuted the Liberty until their operators had an opportunity to get close-in and see the flag, hence the references to the flag.' The attack, he believes, 'was a gross error.'"

we're talking about one of the most intelligent military's in the world. they don't make mistakes like that. they are trained to know and be able to identify different ships. ask anyone who has ever been in the Navy. it's a requirement. the Liberty was one of the most unique and identifiable ships of it's time. for Israel to mistake it for the out-of-service horse carrier El Quseir is impossible. and you have to be extremely naive to believe that they didn't know the difference. have you ever compared the two ships? obviously not.
and again, the attack took place in international waters. THAT. IS. A. WAR. CRIME.

As graphic designer Art Chantry says below in his reminiscence about Sub Pop Records, which celebrates its 25th anniversary Friday and Saturday, Sub Pop has always been a community affair. At certain points, it even seemed like the bands were running the label as much as the two founders, Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman.
Appropriately, we have asked a variety of people — from Poneman to recently signed Sub Pop artist Ishmael Butler of Shabazz Palaces — to share their recollections and impressions of the label. We welcome your own memories in the comments section of seattletimes.com. If they're as interesting as we think they'll be, we'll scoop up a few and publish them. Meantime here's what we've got so far:
Gene Stout, longtime Seattle rock critic
About a month after Nirvana released its major label debut album, "Nevermind" (DGC Records), the Seattle band returned from a European tour to play an unofficial Halloween homecoming show in the fall of 1991 at the Paramount Theatre, with Mudhoney and Bikini Kill. The band had made its debut on Sub Pop Records before leaping to DGC Records and was riding the tide of alternative rock that would lift all boats.

Most Read Stories
In a review for The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, I described Nirvana's concert as "a raw, intense show that left fans dazed and drained," adding that the crowd became "a boiling stewpot of hair-swinging humanity, bouncing to the band's shotgun wedding of punk, metal and alternative styles."
Sub Pop co-founder Bruce Pavitt told me before Nirvana took the stage that "Nevermind" would soon reach 1 million in sales. I was awed by the prospect of such a huge sales number just months after the album's release. But just a little more than two months later, the album hit No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart, knocking Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" out of the top spot.
Nirvana fans were ecstatic.
"It's like the Mariners going to the World Series,'' Pavitt told me in January 1992.
The success of "Nevermind" also boosted sales of Nirvana's "Bleach" album, released on Sub Pop in May 1989. The album eventually went platinum.
"Nevermind" created a huge market for indie rock.
"(Nirvana) has totally opened the doors for adventurous regional bands," Pavitt said.
The album subsequently sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.
Ishmael Butler, of Shabazz Palaces
We asked [Executive Vice President] Megan [Jasper] what she expected from an album. She said, "I haven't heard any of the music but whatever Ish hands in we'll be proud to put it out." I looked at that a couple of ways. A lot of people could say, "She wasn't involved." But her expertise is in picking artists and people who love their craft and love music — you let them do their thing. It seems like it's hands off, it's more nurturing.
Everybody at the label is really astute. Megan and [A&R man] Tony [Kiewel] and [label co-founder] Jonathan [Poneman] are the best that I've seen, the best that I've had to work with. They came down to a show we had in San Francisco. We were really pumped. That was an instance in which I realized they are really down with their artists. The setting didn't deter them.
Understanding where the artist is coming from and taking a lot of time. And using insight and observation to help the artist fulfill their issues and hopes and flourish in a way you never would have thought was possible.
It's really good to be in that situation. It's ideal, man, and rare.
Art Chantry, graphic designer
The way the Sub Pop logo emerged says it all. It was a record review column in The Rocket. Originally, it was going to be called Subterranean Pop, but it was too long. Wes Anderson [graphic designer for the Rocket] designed the original masthead, then Helene Silverman [also a graphic designer] got assigned to lay the thing out. Helene was obsessed with stretch type. All the headlines of the Rocket were flex type stuff. And Sup Pop was this flexed type. Wes flip flopped the black and white type. When Helene split, I went back in and got rid of the flex type and put it in Eurostyle, also called Microgama. I was also the one who took the press type and added the little chevrons in it.
That was the way the masthead ran for a long time — side by side, not stacked. Then Dale Yarger, that beloved man, he was trying to put together this record cover on the cheap for Bruce [Pavitt]. "I don't know what to do with their logo," he said. "When you shrink it down, you can't read it." I said, 'Stack It.' That is what they did.
So the logo emerged out of a community. It was not designed by a person. It was designed by many people. The reality of this is that it's so much more practical. It's punk. It's DIY. When life gives you lemons, make great lemonade. The entire Seattle community had been doing this for 20-30 years. This wasn't Sub Pop's success, it was underground Seattle's success.
Charles R. Cross, former editor and owner of The Rocket magazine
Sub Pop has been around for so long, and is such an important pillar of the Seattle music community, it almost seems harder to imagine a time they didn't exist. But 26 years ago, there was no Sub Pop, and the local music scene was less cohesive.
I first met both Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt through The Rocket, which I'd begun to edit a couple of years before Sub Pop was launched. Bruce wrote the popular "Sub Pop" column in The Rocket, where he chronicled his favorite indie bands from around the globe. It was one of our magazine's most widely read features, and eventually the name morphed into the label Bruce started with Poneman.
I met Jonathan when he was booking shows in local clubs. He was also a musician, as well, and I ended up designing the album cover for his debut record by his band the Treeclimbers. They were actually quite good, in an R.E.M.-ish way, but they were probably too populist and mainstream to have ever fit into the early Sub Pop playlist.
Sub Pop's full history is long and complex, with many pitfalls and near-deaths, and couldn't be told even in a long book, much less a newspaper story. But 25 years after the first release, the label's successes are so closely intertwined with Seattle's cultural rise they seem as inevitable as the rise of Microsoft and Starbucks.
They remain one of my favorite labels for discovering new music, and 25 years after they began, that is a high compliment. Long may they run.
James Keblas, director of the Seattle Office of Film and Music
The thing about Sub Pop is how generous they are in giving back to the community … They have invested in other people's record labels, which most people would think is competition but they don't do it that way. They have invested in other people's art projects, they have invested in other people's restaurants and live music venues. They have invested in things that continue to make Seattle a great music city beyond their own interests. And that kind of reinvestment is what continues to make Seattle a great music city beyond just the grunge explosion of the '90s."
"[Sub Pop has] made Seattle, given it a musical identity, not just for the record label but for the whole community.
Paul de Barros, Seattle Times music critic
I vividly remember the first time I met Jonathan Poneman. It was January 1986 and I was writing for The Seattle Weekly. Poneman was a deejay at KCMU (the University of Washington precursor of KEXP) and booking New Music Night at the Rainbow, in the U District. A tousle-haired zealot on a mission, he brought a briefcase full of samples to the Rainbow the night we hooked up.
After a dry spell, the Seattle rock scene was stirring again, with new venues like the Ditto Tavern and fresh young bands. The U-Men had already found fame, but groups like Skinyard and Soundgarden were making what felt like something new. And there were promoters around, like Poneman and Soundgarden's Susan Silver, who wanted to make something out of it.
"There's genuine excitement," Jonathan said, fishing out a pile of 45 rpm records, cassettes, posters and press clippings, all of which I still have, to this day. "There's something new happening. And it's a Seattle sound."
Of course, everyone always wants to believe this about their hometown. But Poneman turned out to be right. Two years later, he joined forces with Olympia's Bruce Pavitt, who'd been bringing out a cassette 'zine called Subterannean Pop, an endeavor mightily influenced by John Foster, the editor of another seminal magazine called Op, which first proposed the idea of "decentralizing pop culture" by promoting only local bands, major labels be damned. Pavitt's high concept and Poneman's enthusiasm and hype were the perfect blend. In 1988, Sub Pop Records was officially born, and the vehicle for the grunge revolution was set in motion. The rest, as they say, is history.

Healthy Eats at 30 Major League Baseball Parks
Better ballpark food?
What could be worse than ballpark food, right? Never known for their healthy options (unless you count a handful of peanuts), baseball stadiums have gotten even more flak lately for everything from iffy hygiene practices to all-you-can-eat tickets.
Sure, eating greasy, calorie-laden hot dogs or nachos can feel like part of the fun. And if it's an occasional splurge, it's probably fine.
But if you crave healthier fare, here are some baseball stadium choices that won't crush you with calories.

School boards should note Rosetti case
Fred Rosetti's federal criminal indictment for allegedly running the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit as a personal fiefdom also is an indictment, as a practical matter, of the agency board and as-yet unidentified administrators who enabled his self-indulgent reign.
A 13-count federal indictment accuses Dr. Rosetti of fraud, theft and money-laundering and details a wide range of alleged abuses of the public purse and trust. (The indictment is posted at www.thetimes-tribune.com.)
The NEIU is a public education agency that provides special education and some other services for 20 school districts in Lackawanna, Wayne, Wyoming, Pike and Susquehanna counties. Those districts and the state and federal governments - the taxpayers - provide NEIU's funding.
The NEIU board comprises members of the school boards of all 20 districts that fund NEIU.
Even if the alleged conduct by Dr. Rosetti isn't a crime, it is horrendous governance. Yet the board said and did nothing as the conduct occurred and no whistleblowers emerged from the NEIU administration or staff.
The board did not raise any questions about Dr. Rosetti's extraordinary compensation as he prepared to retire until Louise Brzuchalski, a certified public accountant, joined the NEIU board two years ago as Abington Heights' representative. Her intervention resulted in his $623,000 retirement payment being reduced by $143,000, and in the entire package being reviewed by the state auditor general.
The NEIU board has established some reforms in the wake of Mrs. Brzuchalski's revelations and others by Sarah Hofius Hall of The Times-Tribune. Now, in the wake of the Rosetti indictment, the board should conduct a top-to-bottom examination of the entire enterprise to find out how it facilitated Dr. Rosetti.
Meanwhile, local school boards that have awarded extraordinary levels of compensation to their superintendents should use the Rosetti indictment as a cautionary tale. Some districts have established new evaluation procedures for their superintendents, while others have continued to be rubber stamps.
The Rosetti case is not simply a criminal matter, it's a question of governance in the public interest - an issue for elected public officials rather than the FBI and U.S. attorney alone.
