Blind in Sri Lanka Given Sight by Former PM's Eyes
Two blind men in Sri Lanka have had their sight restored by eyes donated to medicine after her death by the world's first woman prime minister, Sirima Bandaranaike.
Doctors at Colombo Eye hospital said Tuesday that corneas from Bandaranaike -- who died a week ago at the age of 84 -- were transplanted into the eyes of two men, aged 32 and 70.
The two recipients were not identified.
Bandaranaike, buried next to her husband, former prime minister Solomon Bandaranaike, on Saturday, signed papers donating her eyes in the event of her death in 1972, the Sri Lanka Eye Donation Society said.
She suffered a heart attack and died shortly after voting in last week's parliamentary elections.
Doctors said Bandaranaike's corneas were removed within hours of her death and transplanted within a day.
Bandaranaike, a member of the majority Buddhist community, was accorded a state funeral Saturday after religious rites performed by saffron-robed Buddhist monks and requiems by Christian, Hindu and Muslim clergy.
Buddhists in Sri Lanka have a practice of donating their organs which they believe give them good karma, or merit, in their next birth. Buddhists believe in reincarnation.
Bandaranaike specified in her will written in June last year that she wanted a simple burial within the shortest possible time and she should be buried next to her husband, who was assassinated in 1959.
However, her successor, Ratnasiri Wickremanayake, said they were unable to hold a funeral earlier because the government was pre-occupied with elections and the formation of a new government following last Tuesday's vote.
Bandaranaike had said the money mourners would have normally spent on flowers should go to a children's hospital being built in Kandy, 112 kilometres (72 miles) northeast of the capital Colombo.
The mother of Sri Lanka's President Chandrika Kumaratunga became the world's first woman prime minister in 1960 and at the time of her retirement in August was the world's oldest prime minister -- COLOMBO (AFP)

Four seek two council seats in Ostrander; one person running for mayor
By Sonya Meyerhofer
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 5:38 AM
There are four candidates who have filed to fill two vacant Ostrander City Council seats, each are for four-year terms. They are Erin Brugh, John Schraeder, Vernon Thompson and Heidi Jones. All responded to our questionnaire except Schraeder. Pat Nesler was the only individual to file for the position of mayor, and he did not respond to our questionnaire.
The responses are listed in alphabetical order according to the last names of the candidates.
What has motivated you to file for this office?
Brugh: I wanted to have a voice in the decisions that were being made in the city of Ostrander. I have been attending city council meetings for the last five or six months now and I have many ideas about what is being discussed and would like to have a chance to remedy the situations that arise.
Jones: I'm running for my family and yours. My goal is to establish a better relationship between the public and the city council. I want to increase the methods used to inform the community of issues, concerns and opportunities in Ostrander as well as increase community involvement.
I have been a resident in the city of Ostrander for almost seven years and I feel that it's high time I put my thoughts to good use in regards to the community. I have many friends, my own parents and other relatives that live in Ostrander. I was raised with the belief that families and friends look out for each other's best interests. I want to contribute that same attitude toward the entire community.
Thompson: I have served two terms and have enjoyed being involved with various groups in city government.
Name one characteristic you have that has enabled or would enable you to be a valuable member of this office.
Brugh: I feel that the best characteristic that I have is that I am an attentive listener. I am able to take a question and make sure I understand so that I can come up with a solution that best fits the situation at hand. I am easily approachable and easy to talk to.
Jones: I am confident that with my experience and background including customer service, leadership, legal knowledge and problem solving, I can assist the council in making secure and meaningful improvements for the city of Ostrander.
Thompson: I am interested in making our community a better place to live.
Top priority: If elected, what is your top priority for 2013 and the next four years?
Brugh: Top priority would be to promote the city of Ostrander. Bring the town back to being a landmark that everyone wants to come to. This will bring revenue into the town and will help the businesses to keep the town alive. With UFFDA days starting back up this year and the great outcome we had from that I think we could have more events throughout the year to make the town more intriguing. I also have heard mention about getting a bike trail through Ostrander. I think this would be a great amenity that Ostrander could have not only to bring outsiders in as an attraction but also for the residents that live in the town. I always see people from all ages out and about. It would be nice to have a safe place for everyone to walk, run, or bike.
Jones: One of the suggestions I would propose is to have the agenda for city council board meetings posted on the website and/or printed on the back of our water bills. I understand that the agenda is tentative and may be changed, however I feel this would open the doors to the public more to get additional opinions and ideas for alternate resolutions. I believe spending the additional time to accomplish this would be well worth it to get the community more involved.
We need to involve the younger generations in order to keep the idealism of the neighborly and family-orientated community we have.
I want to create an inexpensive and successful marketing strategy to bring new families, businesses and activities to our community, so we may continue to grow, setting new goals and aspirations for the future.
I also look forward to the opportunity to treat the taxpayer's dollar with as much caution and consideration in spending it as wisely I would my own towards investments within our city.
I'm very passionate about family. I want to encourage the public to get involved and offer their input on changes and opportunities they would like to see within Ostrander that will benefit our families and businesses together.
Thompson: We need to upgrade and keep our fire department in service. Also improving city streets.
Biographical information: Briefly summarize your personal background and qualifications.
Brugh: I grew up in Stewartville and graduated in 2001. I then became employed at Mayo Clinic where I have been for just over 11 years. I started out drawing blood in phlebotomy and I was there for almost 5 years. I am currently working in the Department of Laboratory Medicine in customer service. I have been in my current department for about 6-1/2 years. I moved to Ostrander with my fiancé Jake Volkart in August of 2002 and we are raising our two daughters, Samantha Volkart, 8, and Kimberly Volkart, 3. We have greatly enjoyed the cozy town of Ostrander and coming from Stewartville it was definitely a change to have everyone wave (even when you didn't know who they were).
Jones: My name is Heidi Jones. Many people know me as Heidi Bly. I am a full-time single parent of two teenagers, both of which attend LeRoy-Ostrander High School. I was raised on a farm in rural Spring Valley. My parents are Robert and Marjorie Bly, also of Ostrander, Minn.
I attended LeRoy-Ostrander School from kindergarten through my sophomore year. I transferred to Kingsland my junior and senior year, graduating and obtaining my diploma from there in 1995. I started my career immediately after graduation at IBM. In 2003, I was laid off from an IBM Business Partner and enrolled at Riverland Community College in Austin Minn., to obtain an Associate in Science degree in business management. I attended for two years and to date, I am two classes short of my degree, which I intend to complete in the near future. I was employed at Baudler Law of Spring Valley as a legal assistant previous to my current position at Fillmore County in the Auditor/Treasurer's Office.
I am currently on the PTA Board at the LeRoy-Ostrander School. I also served on the LO Forever committee this past September.
I would be honored to be elected to the city council and I will do my best to represent you and help resolve issues and working to make secure and meaningful improvements for the city of Ostrander.
Thompson: I have lived in Ostrander my entire life. I am presently serving on the following boards: Ostrander Cemetery Association, Prairie View Manor, and Ostrander Lions. I am an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church and have served as a member of their council. Ostrander is important to me.

"Everything about the menu card was perfect. I had a LOT of information on the card, both front and back, and therefore required a lot of customization from WPD's professionals. They were incredibly quick, patient, and made each change exactly as I requested. I had the menu on the front of the card and special thanks and tributes on the back. Everyone at the wedding loved it...as did I. Most importantly, my Mom loved it...and she is the toughest critic! I would definitely re-order this for another event and would definitely recommend this item to a friend!"
"We were very happy with the menus. We selected the purple flowers and the shimmer paper. Good quality, and we received many compliments at the reception regarding the menus."
"I was so pleased with how the menus turned out. These cards are truly lovely and I know our guests are going to love them too."
"I have ordered all my paper items through WPD's and always a quality product! Beautiful work and great customer service!"
"I was so thrilled when I received my order. Everything is perfectly lovely. I know that my son and soon to be daughter-in-law will be pleased when they see this. Thank you!"

Appendix:Crystal walkthrough/Section 8
Ecruteak City
Welcome to Ecruteak, a historical city where the past meets the present. The city is shrouded in mystery, as all but one of Johto's legendary Pokémon have ties to the area. The area has its share of unique landmarks, including the Kimono Dance Theater and the twin towers; the Burned Tower in the west, and the Tin Tower in the east.
Bill's Time Capsule
Stop by the Poké Center to meet Bill, the inventor of the PC Storage System. It seems that he has just finished working on the Time Capsule, a service found in every Poké Center that allows a Trainer to "trade with the past". This means that you can now trade between Gold and Silver and the Generation I games. The Time Capsule will take until the next day to be fully operational.
Find That Treasure!
Stop by the house to the right of the Gym, and talk to the man inside. He gives you the Itemfinder, a handy tool that reacts to hidden items lying nearby. It's a treasure hunter's best friend!
Ecruteak Dance Theater
The dance hall is owned by the Kimono Girls, five sisters that each train one of Eevee's evolutions. Speak to the man with his Rhydon after defeating them to receive HM03 (Surf) as thanks.
|Kimono Girls
Burned Tower
The charred, crumbling ruins of the Burned Tower can be found in the city's northwest district. Formerly known as the Brass Tower, it was once as majestic as the Tin Tower to the east. Built 700 years ago, it was said to be the roost of an immense, silver-colored Pokémon. But 150 years ago, the tower was struck by a lightning bolt that ignited a fire that raged for three days. The silver Pokémon and the glorious, rainbow-colored Pokémon that roosted on Tin Tower escaped to the skies unharmed, and a sudden downpour quenched the fire. The silver Pokémon flew off, while the rainbow Pokémon resurrected three nameless Pokémon that perished in the blaze before flying off as well.
When you enter the tower, you are immediately approached by Eusine, a researcher of the legendary beasts who is especially interested in Suicune. The local Gym Leader, Morty, is also here investigating the trio. Walk to the center area, where your rival complains about not seeing Suicune before challenging you to a battle.
|Available Pokémon
The battle causes the weakened floor to crumble, and you fall to the floor below, landing in front of the three legendary beasts. They do not react at first, but awaken when you approach them. Raikou and Entei run off immediately, but Suicune pauses for a moment before following the others. Eusine meets you on your way out, and thanks you for waking Suicune.
Tin Tower
The Tin Tower is a sacred place, and is off-limits to all but a few people. A group of monks known as the Wise Trio prevent anyone from reaching the tower for now. Two special items are required to enter and scale the tower.
|Climbing the Tower
Upon meeting Eusine in Celadon City, he informs you of fresh rumors of a rainbow-colored Pokémon appearing at the tower. When you return here, the monks in the barrier station are thrilled; they saw the tower shake, which means that a large Pokémon must have landed at the top. Enter the tower to receive the Rainbow Wing from one of the Wise Trio. Suddenly a ladder appears, allowing you to finally climb the tower. Stock up on Ultra Balls, and bring a party that is capable of inflicting status ailments in order to wear Ho-Oh down faster.
Go left to reach a Full Heal. Move around in an S-shape to reach the northeast stairs.
Go south to find an Ultra Ball, and south again to get a Super Potion. Nab the Escape Rope in the southwest, then climb the northwest stairs.
Work your way to the pillar for a Rare Candy. The ramps here keep you from advancing, so take the southeast stairs and backtrack through 4F. Stay to the west of the pillar to reach the stairs in the south.
6F has a simple layout that serves as a transition between the ramps on the lower floors and what lies above. The next three floors use a series of warp tiles for quick navigation.
Step on the nearest warp tile to reach the pillar, and take the next to reach the east wall of 9F. There are two warp tiles to the south; the right one takes to the center of 8F for a Max Elixir, while the left one takes you to the south side of 8F for a Nugget. Backtrack to the first warp on 7F, grab the Max Revive to the northeast, and go south to take the next warp to the west side of 8F.
The next warp takes you to the north side of 9F, and the one after that brings you back to the east side of this floor. Pick up the Full Restore to the northwest and take one last warp to the center of 9F.
Climb the stairs to reach the rooftop. Save your progress; there's only one Ho-Oh, so don't risk losing it.
Start off by using status-inflicting moves, like Spore or Thunder Wave, to wear it down. Follow up with Water- or Electric-type attacks to inflict double the damage. Use caution with Rock-type attacks, as Ho-Oh takes four times the normal damage from such moves. Then slowly chip away at its remaining health with Fire-, Grass-, Fighting-, Bug-, or Steel-type attacks, as moves of these types only inflict half- or quarter-damage.
Ecruteak Gym
POKéMON GYM
The Mystic Seer
of the Future
The Ecruteak Gym is dedicated to Ghost-types. These spirits take double the damage from Ghost- and Dark-type attacks, and are normally unaffected by Normal- and Fighting-type attacks. However, a Pokémon with Foresight can disable these immunities. Bring along some extra Potions, since two of Morty's Pokémon know Curse, which drains the target's health every turn. It's also good to bring a few Awakenings in order to disrupt his Gengar's Hypnosis-Dream Eater combo.
Morty awards you the Fog Badge, which ensures obedience from all Pokémon up to level 50, and enables the use of Surf outside of battle. He also gives out TM30 (Shadow Ball) as a prize.
West of here lies Route 38.
Route 38
Route 38 connects Ecruteak City to Route 39 in the west, near the MooMoo Farm. On your way west, you can trade phone numbers with Schoolboy Chad for alerts about Snubbull swarms. Register Lass Dana's number and she'll call for a rematch; defeat her again to get a ThunderStone.
|Available Pokémon
Route 39
Route 39 stretches between Route 38 and Olivine City. The MooMoo Farm is located here, but one of their Miltank has stopped producing milk. The only way for it to recover is to feed it a handful of Berries. Once it has recovered, speak to the man in the farmhouse to get TM13 (Snore). He also begins selling MooMoo Milk for 500 per serving.

After a loss like North Carolina's 37-20 defeat at the hands of South Florida, there is always the danger of saying too much, or too little, about the significance of a single game. While it is still just one game, it had the feel of a watershed moment not only for this season, but perhaps for an era. (Inside Carolina)

The prosecutor, Bitar Bitarov, died in hospital from his wounds.
An hour after the attack, when Dagestan's interior minister approached the town to investigate, his motorcade came under fire.
An exchange of fire followed between police accompanying the minister and the gunmen, in which two policemen were fatally injured.
Interior Minister Adilgerei Magomedtagirov was not hurt.
Dagestan authorities suggested that there was a link between the attack on the prosecutor, who was killed by a bomb on his way to work, and the ambush of the minister.
"It's perfectly possible that they laid this ambush, knowing that the minister was going to the scene," said a ministry spokeswoman, quoted by the Associated Press news agency.
Special forces and interior ministry troops went to the scene of the second attack and searched the area, Russian media report.
The high level of violence in the North Caucasus republic is often associated with organised crime or political in-fighting. But some may be linked to the separatist conflict in neighbouring Chechnya, correspondents say.

Crime & Punishment of Wednesday, 8 January 2014
Source: GNA
A father who confessed to defiling his eight-year-old biological daughter has been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment in hard labour by a Kumasi circuit court.
Jude Kuunifaa, 30, suffers from epilepsy and had sought to blame the crime on a seizure. He claimed it was involuntary and that he had lost consciousness during the attack.
"My Lord, I did not know I was sleeping with my daughter until my wife told me when I came to myself."
The court, presided over by Mr William Boampong, was, however, unconvinced.
Police Inspector Gulliver Tenkorang said Kuunifaa, a farmer, lived at Sekyedomasi in the Ejura-Sekyedomasi Municipality with his wife and three children.
The spouse had left the house for church on January 3, at about 1900 hours, but had to return about 30 minutes later to take her medicine only to find to her utter shock, the husband in the act of sexually abusing their daughter.
She raised the alarm and that angered the convict, who pounced on her and severely beat her. She was rescued by a family member.
A formal report was made to the police and a medical form issued to the victim for treatment at the Ejura Government Hospital.
Doctors who attended to her in a signed report confirmed that she had, indeed, been defiled.

The BBC - Conspiracy CentralPosted by Greg at 04:04, 06 Jul 2008
The BBC has recently become the focus of conspiracy theorists with their show Conspiracy Files digging into the alternative theories of what transpired on 9/11 and 7/7 (the train-bombings of London). Mike Rudin, the producer of the series, posted three separate blog entries during June which addressed and debated a number of the topics involved.
"Controversy and Conspiracies", Part One, discussed whether conspiracy theories should even be given airtime, in response to recent criticisms that the BBC was paying a conspiracy theorist to participate in the feature on 7/7:
The stakes are high because conspiracy theories are spreading suspicion about the official account of what happened, ultimately questioning whether the authorities can be trusted. Establishing whether what is argued is true or false, and scrutinising the way proponents conduct themselves, is clearly in the public interest and is a serious and legitimate task for the BBC.
Parts Two and Three concentrated on the enigmatic collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11 - which will feature in Conspiracy Files on BBC Two tonight. A news story by Rudin, posted on the BBC News website on Friday, features a trailer for this weekend's feature, and suggests that a long-awaited report will put the collapse down to fire:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, based near Washington DC, is expected to conclude in its long-awaited report this month that ordinary fires caused the building to collapse. That would make it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's lead investigator, Dr Shyam Sunder, spoke to BBC Two's 'The Conspiracy Files': "Our working hypothesis now actually suggests that it was normal building fires that were growing and spreading throughout the multiple floors that may have caused the ultimate collapse of the buildings."
However, a group of architects, engineers and scientists say the official explanation that fires caused the collapse is impossible. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth argue there must have been a controlled demolition.
These new blogs and documentary features on the BBC have riled many of those involved in promoting or researching the conspiracy angle, with plenty of commentary at Alex Jones' Prison Planet and 911Blogger.com.
Personally, I think a lot of the 9/11 conspiracy movement has become a belief system of its own, with a bunch of self-promoters profiting off it to the detriment of those who have something worthwhile to say. Having said that however, I equally dislike the faulty attribution of 'conspiracy theorist = crazy person'. There are very good historical reasons to not trust authority blindly (see Operation Northwoods for just one pertinent example), and I'm actually quite comforted to know that there are people out there who look closely at all the details of these type of events.
And when it comes to the details surroudning WTC7, even if the truth is that it was just fires (after all, it did burn all day, and many people reported hearing creaking and groaning noises coming from it, suggesting an impending collapse), you have to admit that you can't blame suspicious people for seeing conspiracy: The collapse would make it "the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire". Rather than being investigated, the steel girders were removed from the site and melted down. The owner of the building mentioned on video that he told authorities to "pull it" (apparently referring to fire crews inside the building). News media including the BBC reported the collapse while the building was still standing. The BBC's satellite then went dead at that moment. Then the BBC claimed to have lost the tape of the report. The official report is only now about to be released, more than 7 years on.
If there are no elements of conspiracy behind these events, then it would make a wonderful case study in how a sequence of unrelated events can easily lead people to a certain, incorrect, belief. I've created a nice new controversial poll here on TDG, asking for all your thoughts - was there a conspiracy involved in the collapse of WTC7? Readers in the UK will probably want to check out the documentary tonight for a good overview. You can vote anytime on the poll, or check the results, via the block on the right-hand side of the page.

Please, editor of TDG. For once give the links to at least some of the Youtube videos which most cogently argue for WTC7 having been a controlled demolition. Copying the following individual titles into the Youtube search window will bring up the videos:

Well, I think if there is ANY angle on this that should be reported, it should be the insane fact that the BBC was putting out information about wtc7 collapsing just some 26mins before it actually occurred!!! They even had the new york correspondent talking about it live with the building still standing behind her!
That doesn't mean exactly conspiracy, but it sure doesn't help the case much!!! Oh, also it doesn't help that after that pre-knowledge footage started coming out, the BBC responded saying they aren't a part of some grand conspiracy, and that they also had LOST ALL FOOTAGE from the entire day!!! All of the footage they had from the biggest news day since Kennedy's assassination, and they have none of it! Not even to mention the companies that ALL news organization hire to record live feeds for them for archival purposes!!!
Smells like rat shit to me.

From Part Three of Mike Rudin's blog:
The internet movie Loose Change has been viewed by more than 100 million people according to its makers and it asks this question in the latest film release: "Where did CNN and the BBC get their information especially considering the building was still standing directly behind their reporters?"
It turns out that the respected news agency Reuters picked up an incorrect report and passed it on. They have issued this statement:
"On 11 September 2001 Reuters incorrectly reported that one of the buildings at the New York World Trade Center, 7WTC, had collapsed before it actually did. The report was picked up from a local news story and was withdrawn as soon as it emerged that the building had not fallen."
So... The BBC pawns it off on Reuters, and Reuters pawns it off on an unidentified 'local news story'. And Rudin apparently thinks that's supposed to put an end to it. Right -- because we're all as dumb as tree stumps.

Hi Bo,
I don't think that the post could be considered as handling the information in "a cavalier manner". I posted a whole paragraph at the end listing reasons why people consider there could be a conspiracy. I do believe people who are interested can use Google or YouTube, surely things haven't reached such a point that I have to post every link to every topic discussed?
Kind regards,
You monkeys only think you're running things

Greg's post is already a mile long, and it focuses on the BBC's conspiracy documentary, not on the conspiracies themselves. He provided two excellent links for evidence of 9/11 conspiracies, Prison Planet and 9/11 Blogger. Besides, you could easily provide the links in your post (which you didn't), or create a new blog entry. Greg posted a news item opinion piece, not a 9/11 conspiracy reference guide, and he's entitled to his opinion regarding the pros and cons of all sides in the conspiracy debate.

Too many "things" happened for our government not to of been in on this. Any faith I had in God, died on 911. And somehow I haven't had a drink in 7+ years. Man this country is messed up! Time for a 76 redo!

what bladerunner refers to would be a 1776 redo, Nostra.
I don't know about faith in God bladerunner, but at least faith in government's capability to deal with sudden unexpected threats should have been shattered that day, even among the most die-hard skeptics who think that all 9-11 cosnpiracy theories are the playground of loonies and crackpots.
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...

Well glad to see you getting politic Greg. I tend to agree about 911 conspiracists creating their own dream world but more importantly that is the true meaning of conspiracy, as F.W. Schelling emphasized.
Just as cell phones were tauted as the great saving device after 9-11, so now has youtube replaced what used to be the dominance of the left-brain in modern society. Left-brain logic informs us, upon reflection, that the detective is also the murderer and that the source of the I-thought is inferred as pure consciousness (formless awareness).
On the subject of 9-11 there is no better resource than Professor emeritus Peter Dale Scott's recent UC-Berkeley Press book: The Road to 9-11.

I. Rebutting the BBC
Some time ago I followed a TDG link to Charles Shaw's excellent compilation of alternate 9/11 explanation resources.
This is on the RealitySandwich.com site at http://www.realitysandwich.com/comprehen...
There's a lot here, a great deal of which I'd never encountered before, including, in II. Full Length Movies, a link to an excellent video rebuttal of the BBC show. This is _Surfing the Apocalypse_ and the link is:
http://www.surfingtheapocalypse.tv/bbc5.php .
II. John P. O'Neill
Years ago (1994 or 1995) I joined an on-line community (quite geeky, considering the time, well before nearly everyone had a computer in their home and also well before Internet use had spread much beyond techie, university, and government circles) of enthusiasts of the multi-volume Seth material, channelled by Jane Roberts.
This once vibrant (and highly "psychic") community splintered and faded away long ago, for the most part, although tiny remnants remain here and there.
Before this natural evolution, many -- intrigued by the postings of those gifted in the mediumistic department -- began to experiment with trances, channelling, and similar activities, not surprising considering what each had in common -- familiarity with the teachings Seth had dictated through an entranced Jane Roberts beginning in the mid 1960s. (My own site, http://www.realitytest.com , includes techniques and resources for would-be explorers of such realms.)
Not so long ago I wondered how such activities might be applied to the mass event of 9/11.
I focused on how John P. O'Neill, the former FBI man -- the bureau's Al Queda expert -- had died in the WTC.
He'd retired from the FBI and taken the job of head of security for the WTC, his first day on the job being September 10, 2001 (!).
Now here is a "spook" with the training and desire to get to the bottom of things -- if only someone could get in touch with him and translate his thoughts.
Of course those who don't believe in such things wouldn't take any results at all seriously, while should he name names and should this be posted, this could potentially put anyone reading them in jeopardy (a bit of paranoia is prudent in this situation).
Could any information obtained from the deceased FBI man be helpful in illuminating "what happened" on 9/11, even eventually making its way onto the stage of our world media?
If so, this might have to be done quietly to be effective (or, possibly, posed as a science fiction tale or a kind of creative fiction). For obvious reasons, the source of the information could not be emphasized while to be effective, the tale would have to provide sufficient (and accurate) details to spark journalistic and/or criminal investigations, pointing towards relevant personalities, "hard facts," and so on (no such precautions would be necessary if this appeared as science fiction, but then someone would have to follow up on certain details; hopefully, too, the author or authors would not be found dead under suspicious circumstances).
O'Neill is truly the best spook for the job and indeed has already done his own investigation, unencumbered by the restraints of physical embodiment.
Efforts to obtain information from O'Neill could lead somewhere, although they might also simply add to a great mess and a great mystery. 9/11 will remain just that until some truly solid and well documented evidence emerges and is forcefully presented by credible media. _That_ will change beliefs, with awesome consequences.

I don't like being called a "conspiracy theorist" because I don't believe it is a theory but actually a fact.
I am now going to upset some Americans by saying, and I apologise in advance for that, but I have thought from day 1 that 911 was actually not what it seemed. So much information did not make sense, and many other people have come up with other evidence to confirm there is something out of the ordinary going on.
Just yesterday I read in my British newspaper that the RAF has been trying out some planes which are able to be flown without a pilot! The ground based "pilot" could even take time away from his desk to go pick up his child from school!!! At the time of 911 I suspected that the planes which flew into the towers did not have any people in them. Up to that time no-one in the public arena had admitted pilotless planes existed.
There are many other aspects which never rung true for me, and others have publicised these in many detailed ways so I won't do it again here.
Long before David Icke, or others, publicised that secret plans were in place which showed that politicians, institutions, and people, were determined to manipulate and control the world (and I am not saying they are aliens or reptilians) I had already come to a similar conclusion, independently. Now my ideas have become "fashionable".
There will always be those who don't want to believe their governments, companies, or individuals, would want to control and manipulate people on a global scale, possibly even slowly destroy the ordinary person's way of life. But for me, I have no other explanation as to why things are happening the way they are, or why these important people and institutions should be determined to hide so much information, unless there is something our of the ordinary going on.
My submission on TDG regarding the evidence in the concentration camps is one such piece of information. It shows how the evidence for the precise story put about regarding the Holocaust and the camps is not quite what everyone has been led to believe. Contradictory evidence is out there, and until the truth is properly investigated, no-one can accept every bit of evidence that the official story gives out. That there was a holocaust in those camps is something I do believe, but not quite in the way we have been taught, and it is the evidence I gained from an official source within the German authorities, that made me come to this conclusion.
What worries me most is not that the holocaust story has some unprovable aspects to it - anyone can believe what they like, should be able to - but that there are governments, including Germany, Austria, and Canada, which have passed laws criminalising anyone who does question some aspects of the official story. That worries me more than anything because it means any story, true in all/some/or none of its aspects must be accepted publicly, even if evidence to the contrary is available. The EU Commission is talking about taking this law on board and making it the norm throughout all of the EU countries, and the UK always agrees with whatever the EU Commission says so a new myth is born, and Big Brother is not only watching but also punishing anyone who can prove even one small aspect of an official story is true, rather than admit this small fact and change it to the truth.
To learn more about the evidence, read my submission. It may surprise you. And it may also allow you to realise why I believe there is a conspiracy to hoodwink the public, and if this succeeds then others will also be perpetrated. Not a good prospect for the future.

The A-Body cars use an aluminum-housed Saginaw manual rack and pinion steering gear as standard equipment. The pinion is supported by and turns in a sealed ball bearing at the top and a pressed-in roller bearing at the bottom. The rack moves in bushings pressed into each end of the rack housing.
Wear compensation occurs through the action of an adjuster spring which forces the rack against the pinion teeth. This adjuster eliminates the need for periodic pinion preload adjustments. Preload is adjustable only at overhaul.
The inner tie rod assemblies are both threaded and staked to the rack. A special joint is used, allowing both rocking and rotating motion of the tie rods. The inner tie rod assemblies are lubricated for life and require no periodic attention.
Any service other than replacement of the outer tie rods or the boots requires removal of the unit from the car.
The optional power rack and pinion steering gear is an integral unit, and shares most features with the manual gear. A rotary control valve directs the hydraulic fluid to either side of the rack piston. The integral rack piston is attached to the rack and converts the hydraulic pressure into left or right linear motion. A vane-type constant displacement pump with integral reservoir provides hydraulic pressure. No in-car adjustments are necessary or possible on the system, except for periodic belt tension checks and adjustments for the pump.

You may have received an email describing that Facebook is the subject of a class action lawsuit over Sponsored Stories permissions. Like all mass emails regarding a lawsuit against a major company, this email provides you with several options, and listing yourself as a complainant might get you a little bit of money. In the case of the latest Facebook lawsuit, all of the complainants will be entitled to a sum of … $10.
Business Insider reports that Facebook got caught red-handed uses people's likenesses without express permission for Sponsored Stories. If you're a Facebook user whose likeness has been used in this regard, you can claim a piece of a $20 million pie, but because so many people's likenesses were used without permission, that pie divides up into the price of lunch tomorrow afternoon if you elect to participate.
The class action lawsuit alleged that Facebook didn't have the legal right to use members' likenesses in Sponsored Stories Posts. Buzzfeed reports that while Facebook obviously disagreed, they decided to settle out of court for the sum of $20 million rather than risk litigation.
If you're eligible, you will have received an email titled "LEGAL NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION" written in dense legal jargon. Twitter is full of Facebook users wondering if the email is legit:
Is this for real? Just got an email notice of a Facebook Class Action settlement? twitter.com/geekgiant/stat…
— Eric Berto (@geekgiant) January 26, 2013
Indeed, it is! You can file a claim form here (it takes five minutes) and then wait for your check, which will be sent out after June.
There is one caveat, but it's a biggie: "If the number of claims made renders it economically infeasible to pay money to persons who make a timely and valid claim, payment will be made to the not-for-profit organizations identified on the Settlement website at www.fraleyfacebooksettlement.com."
Did you get an email about Facebook's class action lawsuit? Did you file a claim for your $10?

The late singer's blue denim jumpsuit sells for $50,000 while a guitar he used to write the first four lines of his track 'I Walk The Line' made another $50,000.
Johnny Cash's costumes, instruments and handwritten lyrics have smashed original estimates and raised more than $700,000 at auction. The Man In Black's possessions were sold off in Los Angeles in a lengthy three-day auction, which included a staggering 1,000 lots, over the weekend, December 4-5.
The priciest item up for grabs was the famous blue denim jumpsuit worn by Cash in an iconic Jim Marshall photograph, which shows the late star flicking his middle finger to the camera. The item was expected to sell for between $3,000 to $5,000, but soared up to a massive $50,000.
A guitar which Cash used to write the first four lines of his track "I Walk The Line" also made $50,000. The Julien's Auctions event raised more than $700,000 in total and a portion of the proceeds will be given to the MusiCares charity, which helps musicians with health or financial problems.
The event marks the largest sale of Cash memorabilia since a 2004 auction which was was held to pay for estate taxes following the singer's death in 2003.

Bruce Ralston: B.C. Liberals table bogus budget filled with accounting tricks
The B.C. Liberal government's budget tabled last week is not a balanced budget. It is a bogus budget, filled with accounting tricks, unrealistic revenue projections, and unsustainable expenditures in areas that support British Columbians like health care, postsecondary education, and skills training.
In reality, this is the fifth deficit budget in a row tabled by the Liberals.
This budget relies on nearly $800 million from a fire sale of B.C.'s valuable land and assets. Never mind how short-sighted that plan is, most of the properties they are banking on aren't even for sale yet. Since they first announced their fire sale in the 2012 budget, they've completed no sales.
Respected economist Don Drummond wrote a report for the Ontario government that addressed the issue of asset sales. He advised, "Do not count chickens before they are hatched. If assets are to be sold, never incorporate any revenue from such planned sales into a budget before the fact."
But that's exactly what the Liberals are doing.
The Liberals' projected expenditures are unrealistic and unsustainable. Just look at the health care budget. They cut the projected increase to health care by $233 million, but failed to tell British Columbians the truth about what that will mean to them.
Either the $233-million drop in health spending isn't credible, or the Liberal government is planning more service cuts to health care.
Remember that before the 2009 election the Liberals said they would protect health care, but right after the Liberals were returned to office, they forced health authorities to make cuts to the services British Columbians rely on.
British Columbians also haven't forgotten that the Liberals promised before the 2009 election that their deficit budget would be in the red by $495 million "maximum", which ballooned to almost $2 billion after the election.
The Liberals also promised, in writing, that they wouldn't implement an HST before the 2009 election. Yet they have squandered their entire term in office on the HST, creating uncertainty in the B.C. economy with a massive tax shift from big corporations to working families and small businesses that voters eventually rejected.
While the Liberals spend nearly $17 million of taxpayers' money on pre-election partisan ads to promote the premier's record on skills training, their budget reveals the truth: they have again cut the budget for postsecondary education, a decision that will negatively affect our province's long-term prosperity.
This budget predicts a reduction in the number of student spaces in college and university, provides less money for student assistance and less support for advanced education. There is no new investment in apprenticeship and industry training.
In contrast, New Democrats will present a practical plan connected to the priorities of British Columbia and its regions. Priorities like improving access to skills training and postsecondary education. Our plan will focus on key priorities that will reduce inequality and improve our economy. And we'll show how we will pay for our priorities.
For example, New Democrat leader Adrian Dix has proposed a nonrepayable student grant program for young British Columbians and workers in transition to gain access to postsecondary programs, which we will fund through the reinstatement of a tax on big banks.
The Liberals' budget is not balanced and it promises to saddle the next government with a very serious fiscal situation. It shows the Liberals are not up to the challenges facing B.C. today. It's time for a new and better government that is more connected to British Columbians.
Adrian Dix and B.C.'s New Democrats are offering change for the better, one practical step at a time.

"change for the better, one practical step at a time."
Talk about playing it safe, they're even hedging their campaign slogan. It's painfully awkward and portrays something that's typical of all NDP governments, indecisiveness.
When will this mythical NDP budget come out? It's becoming a caricature of itself.

Why is that the NDP, when talking sleazy accounting tricks never mentions the $100B in PPP debt (aka contractual obligations) run up buying facilities worth 10% what we paid, expanding debt from $30B left by the NDP not to the $50B claimed by the fascists in the MSM but $150B. That $100B went almost entirely to stockbroker pals of the former Premier.
Biggest Scandal in Canadian history but so far not even in the news. Is this lack of reporting part of Dix's I'm being nice plan?

For the first time in 40 years of voting in BC there is not a party that I want to vote for. I think we are doomed for the next four years to live with a dishonest bunch of politicians. The problem in this province is the swing from the far right to the far left. As a retired small business owner I know that a fair government that can balance capitalism with socialism works. The Libs have no respect for the people of BC and I am scared that the NDP will be just so pro union that our taxes will have to increase exponentially just to pay their bill. Cummins and the Conservatives; well that is a lost cause. I think we went from the frying pan into the fire with the change from Campbell to Clark. I was hoping for a NDP minority government with a Conservative opposition. This would kick out the Libs and not give a free rein to the NDP.
Just Wondering

I am more than willing to vote for the NDP as we simply cannot survive another four years under the Liberal banner. The lies, deceit and just plain sleight of hand can no longer be tolerated. People have to stop letting the MSM brainwash them against the one party that may do something for the people. Some of the posters here show that to many of them still believe everything they read in the MSM. It's either that or while everyone else is making them money they spend their time at the computer spreading their self-serving poison about how good their Liberal government is. Me, I'm retired, and I am concerned about the future for the children in this province and tired of the greedy BS of the few with the biggest mouths and the arrogance to think that all is well as long as they have it all and there are lots of slaves to support them. yes, I'd say I'm pretty angry!

A SKI centre in Rossendale which was taken over by a social enterprise is going from strength to strength, according to the man at the helm.
Dave Fuller, managing director of the social enterprise that took over the Rawtenstall slope in September 2011, said his team was feeling much more confident as they entered their second full year.
The venue hired three new members of staff in the run-up to the busy Christmas period last month and plans are being made for further improvements to be made this year.
The beginners' slope and fun park surfaces are earmarked for upgrades following major refurbishment to the main slope in May last year. Mr Fuller said he was delighted at how well-used and established the facility had become.
He said: "We have regular users from within a 50-mile radius, from south of Manchester up to the Lake District and even beyond that.
"We're always improving the place and although sometimes progress is slower than you would like, when you're battling against an economic decline, small growth is still growth.
"We're much more confident now than we were last year in terms of delivering for our customers."
The group recently missed out a £5,000 grant from Lancashire County Council's Local Initiative Fund and Mr Fuller said that funding was an area that his team would be concentrating on in the next 12 months.
He said: "We're going to look more intensely at getting funds on board, working with Sport England and Snowsport England. Our ski schools are the big focus during the dry season and they attract everyone from school groups through to older adults.
"We have a great cross-section of society using the slope and, although everything is time and money dependant, we're heading in the right direction."
Rossendale Council put the attraction out to tender in 2010 after a leisure review and closed it in April 2011 before the social enterprise stepped in.

Brentwood schools reject Duquesne students
Brentwood Borough School District officials have joined their neighbors in declining a request to enroll elementary students from the Duquesne City School District.
Board members in a unanimous vote Monday approved the ratification of a letter sent by Superintendent Ronald Dufalla alerting Duquesne school officials that Brentwood did not have the capacity to accept additional students.
The main reason for the denial was how additional students would negatively affect class sizes in Brentwood and the "lack of physical space" for more students, Dufalla said.
"We couldn't accommodate them, even if we wanted to, because of the physical space in our buildings," Dufalla said.
The state Department of Education recommended putting the financially distressed Duquesne district into receivership and closing it.
Officials of nearly all neighboring districts, however, declined to take the students. Most cited reasons similar to those Brentwood officials voiced.
Band camp
The "financial burden" that traveling to a local university for six days of band camp each fall puts on Brentwood families could bring the event back to its home field next year, district officials said.
"It's becoming more and more of a financial challenge," Dufalla said.
School board members on Monday in a unanimous vote approved a request from band director Steven Leopold for the high school marching band to attend band camp at the University of Pittsburgh's Greensburg campus from Aug. 4 to 9.
Room and board is $225 for the week. Yet, students likely will pay between $175 and $200, Dufalla said. The rest will be offset by the Brentwood Band Parents Association.
District officials work to make accommodations for those who cannot afford the trip, Dufalla said.
Parent Celeste Shoup approached board members again this year asking for the camp to remain at home. Dufalla said the decision comes from the band director. This year, there were worries about whether there would be a place to practice in Brentwood Park if the camp were held at home, Dufalla said.
Phases one and two of the $8 million Brentwood Park refurbishment that is under way are set to begin in May, with completion in August, weather permitting.

School days
Students will be headed back to the classroom on Aug. 26 to start the 2013-14 school year in the Brentwood Borough School District.
Board members in a unanimous vote on Monday approved the calendar for next school year.
The calendar includes 184 student day and 192 teacher days.
Teachers will head back to the classroom on Aug. 21.
Police pact
School board members in a unanimous vote on Monday agreed to a two-year memorandum of understanding with the Brentwood Borough Police Department that runs from March 1 to Feb. 28, 2015.
The agreement is required by the state, Dufalla said, and is similar to ones in years past.
