Fairfield American beats Norwalk in Little League sectional
Recommended Video:
ORANGE -- Fairfield American found a new way to win on Thursday in a state Little League Section 1 divisional game at Roche Field. The 4-2 victory over District 1 champion Norwalk has sent Fairfield to the Division 1 final on Saturday against Norwalk or (New Haven) Annex, who play in an elimination game on Friday night.
The Americans played from behind for almost three innings in a classic pitchers' duel. But in the end, they relied on their proven formula -- swats out of the park -- to move within one win of the sectional final on Wednesday at the Old Tavern complex against the section's three-team Division 2 survivor. This time it was a pair of two-run shots -- the team's 25th and 26th home runs in eight games -- that supported its standard of strong pitching and reliable fielding for the difference.
Jamie Flink's two-run, opposite-field homer to left field, his fourth home run of the postseason, gave Fairfield a 2-1 lead in the top of the third inning. Vince Camera cracked his ninth homer of the summer, a screaming line drive to left-center field that barely got over the fence, in the top of the sixth inning for a 4-1 lead.
Two American relievers combined to protect the lead in the bottom of the frame after giving up a leadoff home run to Norwalk (8-2), whose eight-game winning streak was snapped. Fairfield, the District 2 champ, improved to 8-0.
Fairfield's closest victory had been a 7-4 win over Monroe to kick off district pool play on June 23. Its average margin of victory had been by almost 8.5 runs a game. Fairfield was limited to six hits by hard-luck loser Shane Popkins, after having averaged almost 11.5 in district play.
"PJ Egan pitched a great game for us," Fairfield American manager Mike Steed said. "He's our ace. He got out of that (bases loaded) jam (in the first inning). He showed a lot of maturity for a 12 year old. He had a lot of poise."
Egan, who improved to 4-0 during the tournament season, reached his pitch limit of 85 with one out in the fifth. Sam Davenport (2-0), who started at third base, got out of a two-base-runner situation when he walked the second batter he faced after striking out the first. Davenport gave up a leadoff home run to Popkins in the bottom of the sixth, then was relieved by starting shortstop Brian Howell, who got the final two outs, the first on a sparkling knockdown and recovery on a comebacker on the first batter he faced.
But Egan wove the storyline for this game. He allowed four hits and five walks, while striking out four, working within a consistently tight strike zone. Egan stranded six base runners, three in the first inning.
"Egan brought it tonight," Norwalk manager Paul Boyian said. "He made a lot of great pitches. But Shane outlasted him. Shane was just amazing. He was phenomenal. He just left two pitches up, and they capitalized on them with the two two-run homers. I thought we'd hit better; we usually do."
Popkins surrendered six hits and one walk, striking out nine, including the side in the fifth inning.

9-7-10 PNC Park
I was back at PNC Park after a weekend trip to Washington State, and I was out of the swing of things, as I got zero balls during the Pirates portion of batting practice.
Luckily, as bullpen catcher Heberto Andrade walked off the field,
he hit a fly ball into the bleachers, which I roamed to my right and caught to put me on the board.
At 5:30, I went to center field to look for easter eggs, but there were none. Upon entering the section however, an unidentified Braves player hit a home run into the seats. I had seen the ball land from about eighty feet away as I was on my way into the center field sections, but couldn't find the ball. Luckily, one of the ushers directed me to the spot, and I found the ball laying in the front row in a little puddle of water.
I decided to stay in center field because the group that was hitting included Jason Heyward (behind cage in picture below) and Rick Ankiel.

Its practically pico de gallo?
I mean what would be the difference, take out the Jalapeno and add some cilantro. I think the Cilantro is what your missing in your recipe.
Unless your not a big fan of cilantro.

Post subject: Salsa recipe
I experimented with salsa recipes for years and finally figured it out about 10 years ago. Here's what I like: 2 nice tomatoes, one medium yellow or red onion, 1 - 2 jalapenos, 2 - 3 scallions (green onions - use all white and green parts), 6 or so stems of cilantro - chopped, 0.5 - 1 tsp sugar, 0.5 tsp salt, juice of a lime, 1 tsp - 1 tbsp cumin, and 6 - 8 ounces of tomato juice. It's really excellent and the cumin and tomato juice were the ingredients that really take it over the top. Try it, you'll see. Everyone that's ever tasted it over the years has loved it. I know the juice sounds strange, but it's good. DO NOT COOK. If you must have garlic, sprinkle a little bit of garlic powder on it, but it's better with no garlic. Let it stand for an hour or so before eating.

Very similar to my own "recipe" for home-made salsa. I think the key is to take the recipe and make it your own.
In addition to the basic recipe shown I like to add tomatillos and some red or yellow bell pepper, along with some anaheim and poblano chiles. The bell peppers and chiles are really good if you roast them on the grill first and peel them. You can vary the heat to suit yourself by reserving the membrane from the chiles and adding it back in to suit yourself. If you thoroughly remove the seeds and membranes from the chiles you have something you can serve to almost anyone that has a lot of flavor without the heat (I'm from the mid-west where people tend not to like food that's too spicy.)
Substituting a good brand of diced canned tomatoes for up to 2/3 of the tomatoes speeds the process. It also improves flavor when you can't get good tomatoes.
Try adding some frozen sweet corn (thawed) or some rinsed and drained canned black beans.
The longer this stuff sits, the better it tastes. Due to the acidity, it keeps very well in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
The juice, with a little of the salsa added, makes a great marinade for pork. Try it with pork chops, grilled and topped with a little of the salsa. Yum!

We always use white onions. Yellow cultivars are too sweet, while red onions are best with seafood -- as another reader noted. We also roast our tomatoes and chiles (usually serranos or jalapenos) over a gas or charcoal flame before skinning and seeding both. Technically speaking, I suppose we're crossing the line between salsa cruda and salsa casera, but the improved flavor and texture justify the extra effort.

Serve room temp salsa cruda over hot noodles (do not cook the salsa!). For a more Italian flavor, replace the cilantro with fresh oregano. I have both in my garden so I just go with whichever mood I'm in.

Post subject: some notes...
hi from mexico...
mexican food isn't made with exact recipes... it's made with the heart and mostly with the stomach...
in this sauce we, or at least me, usually doesn't use garlic, and certainly i do not use a collander for the tomatoes.
when chop the onions, you don't need to be gentle, gross cut it's OK, if the flavor its intense, you can reduce by "desfleme", put the chopped onion on cold water for 1 or 2 minutes, remove and put on a collander to remove the excess of moisture-
although you decide to use jalapeños or serranos, if you put on the table and press gently with your hand and move front and back you are "toreandolos" or "making it angry" thus bettering flavor and making it more hotter, you could remove the seeds if you like, but part of the flavor go with it.
don't be affraid with cilantro leaves, make a roll and chop entire, with stem, this sauce can't be ruined by puting too much cilantro.
even if you decide to use lemon juice instead of lime juice, put 2 or 3 tablespoons of orange juice to balance acidity (sourness).
unlike math, the order here does matters... the order to put on the bowl:
stir up
stir up
orange juice
stir up (taste flavor and add salt if needed)
lemon juice
stir up
put on the fridge for at least 30 minutes
stir up before each serve
for 4-6 adults
1 kg tomatoes
200 -300 g onion
50 - 100 g cilantro
150 - 200 g chiles
2 or 3 limes
1 orange
cilantro, chiles, lime and orange juice are added according to your taste
buen provecho!

San Francisco-based Fitbit is voluntarily recalling the Force, a wristband fitness tracker that won rave reviews–until users began complaining about skin irritation, rashes and, in some cases, burns.
James Park, Fitbit's CEO and co-founder, released a statement explaining the recall. It said in part: "While only 1.7 percent of Force users have reported any type of skin irritation, we care about every one of our customers. … We have now learned enough to take further action. We have stopped selling Force and have decided to conduct a voluntary recall. We are offering a refund directly to consumers for full retail price."
Fitness trackers have become all the rage, spurred on by remarkable tech advances that have turned the fuddy-duddy pedometer into something sleek and cool: Wearable bio feedback that can keep track of steps taken, stairs climbed, calories burned and even how well you slept last night.
A quick Google search will attest to how cluttered the fitness tracker niche of the health and fitness market has become.
Yet to many, the Fitbit Force was the standout, winning high marks in categories like ease of set up, its ability to sync feedback across multiple devices, ease of use and at-a-glance feedback. (Many devices, such as those worn on the waistband or bra strap, require retrieval to check in on steps taken so far, or checking another dashboard on a computer or smartphone.)
To those who love their Force fitness trackers, Park said: "Rest assured we're working on our next-generation tracker and will announce news about it soon."
Still unclear: What was causing the Force skin problems, which led the company to announce earlier this year that it would provide refunds and replacements to Force owners who requested it.
Park's statement suggests that there might be multiple causes.
"Here's what we know: Independent test results have not found any issues with the battery or electrical systems. Test results show that users are likely experiencing allergic contact dermatitis. All Force materials are commonly used in consumer products. However, some users may be reacting to the nickel present in the surgical grade stainless steel used in the device. Other users are likely experiencing an allergic reaction to the materials used in the strap or the adhesives used to assemble the product."

You might say that you are a hard-working and dedicated student, but you can probably put yourself into even more categories than you think. There are many scholarships out there for students of a certain type, so start thinking of your own demographics. For example, there are scholarships for women, scholarships for single moms and dads, scholarships for students in a fraternity or sorority, and more. Perhaps you are a first-generation college student or an adult learner. Think about your identity and browse our Scholarship Directory for those characteristics, such as need-based scholarships, merit-based scholarships, and more.

Last night Vice ushered in the launch of the newly consolidated Vice.com in typical Vice fashion. This meant throwing an enormous party at the gorgeous Skylight One Hanson, headlined by Rick Ross. The reunited dance metal dudes Death From Above 1979 also played, as well as a slew of other bands. Before the music started we were treated to a presentation during which co-founder Shane Smith described Vice's new business model (Porn) and their plans to expand content across multiple arenas in the coming year (Fashion, Sports, News, etc). It sort of made us nostalgic for the days when Vice was just that weird magazine you could get at skate shops that showed boobs, but hey, when Shane said "Vice is taking over fucking the world" it was hard not to believe it. Now excuse us while we get back to our hangovers.

Friendly Shea Next
Offensive puzzle continued yesterday and resulted in an extra-inning loss at the Marlins. Cole, despite not having his "A" fast ball, still pitched exceptionally well, the sign of a very good pitcher.
Hate to keep going back to the unlucky Friday the 13th in June, but, since we scored 20 runs that night in St. Louis, the offense hasn't been the same. Scott Lauber in the Wilmington News-Journal today points out that we have been held to four or fewer runs in 20 of the last 30 games, the 30th game being June 14. During the 30 games, we are hitting .212 with runners in scoring position. No wonder Manuel went off after yesterday's 3-2 loss in which 10 runners were left on base.
Two out of three is a huge key to winning a championship.. We missed that opportunity yesterday but it is over and needs to be forgotten. Time to focus on three in friendly Shea Stadium starting tomorrow night.
Lefty vs. Lefty
The Mets have four lefties in their bullpen. Wonder how many times they will be called on to face Chase and Ryan in these next three games.

Students and staff in the Dallas County Community College District know that many of their classmates face difficult and stressful situations in their lives – financial strains, family obligations and many other factors – so they come up with ways to help other people in need.
Case in point: Juan Martinez, an English major at Richland College. Last summer while scrambling to get all of his school supplies – notebooks, paper, pens and other materials – he figured that other students probably were in the same situation. So Juan proposed setting up an exchange program at the school with the help of a faculty member, English instructor Justine White.
White thought Martinez's idea was "ingenious," and together they launched the Student Supply Exchange at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester.
"When I came up with the idea, I was throwing away lots of pens, but I needed other stuff. I thought there had to be other students with an abundance of one thing but who needed other stuff, so why not have a give-and-take program – 'I need what you have and you need what I have,'" Martinez said.
Students and staff donate school supplies and put them in a cabinet in Richland's English Corner, a classroom where instructors and other volunteers tutor students. Students who need supplies simply go to the English Corner and take what they need from the cabinet.
The English Corner seemed like a natural place to set up the exchange program, according to White. "We always have students here, whether they are volunteering or being tutored, so the kids are always asking, 'What can we do to help each other?' Juan came up with this great idea, and the kids have jumped on it. All the volunteers are out telling people that if they need supplies, if financial aid didn't come in on time, come down and get supplies."
People donate all sorts of basic school supplies, some new and some slightly used, but it is all usable for students who may not have all the materials they need for their classes. White said a veteran who gets money for his education donated a large amount of supplies because he didn't need it all and wanted someone else to use them.
Students who take supplies don't have to give anything back, but White said they ask people who take materials to bring something later, if they can.
"We just encourage students to come get it. Or, if I have a student in class who says he needs a pen, I just tell him to go to the English Corner to get one. It's one more way for us to help students have less stress about going to school. I tell them, 'Don't worry if you don't have all your stuff. Just go to class and learn,'" White added.
Martinez, who wants to become a writer and earn a doctorate, said the program does not include textbooks because a book exchange bulletin board already exists at Richland and he didn't want to infringe on it. He said he has not approached private businesses to ask for donations because he just wants to keep the exchange as a "students helping students" program.
For some students at El Centro College, it's not just about helping other students; it's about helping the community and the homeless in particular.
Michael Higgins, athletic program assistant at El Centro's main campus, has arranged a coat drive for the homeless by organizing a basketball game between staff and students every fall for the last three years. Higgins said the effort usually yields between 50 and 100 coats that he takes to local homeless shelters.
"It's fun, but at the same time, it's making a difference, and that's my main goal: to make a difference and show the students that there are a lot of people who don't have anything. We don't always count our blessings for what we do have, and some individuals don't have anything," said Higgins.
People who play in the game have to donate a new or slightly-used coat, but any student or staff member at the college can donate items.
Thaddeaus Kuykendall, an art student at El Centro, played in this year's game. He said, "We get everyone involved, from the people who use the gym to everybody who hangs out at the school's Student Life Center. It's a good thing for us to give back to the community. We know it's going to get cold, so we have jackets that we can give them."
Chris Jeter, who works in the facilities department at the college, said, "I love giving back to the community and hanging out with the fellows. It's just a good thing for the community, for the college and for the district."
At North Lake College, the Blazer Store has been helping students and members of the community for more than a decade.
The school's Journalism Club launched the store after the 9/11 attacks, when many students were struggling because their parents had lost their jobs. What started as a one-time donation drive in front of the bookstore turned into the present-day store, where people use "Blazer Bucks" to "buy" clothing, food and school supplies.
Sasha Ceart, a North Lake history student who manages the store, said students and the community need the Blazer Store. She explained, "Students already have to pay for tuition, books and everything else. Sometimes they have to choose between school supplies and food, and it shouldn't be that way."
Every item in the Blazer Store costs one Blazer Buck, but shoppers can get three food items, such as canned goods or ramen bowls, for a Buck. Students who donate to the store get one Blazer Buck per item they give, and they can use those Bucks anywhere in the store.
Mmesoma Okafor, a biology student at North Lake who hopes to go to medical school, said she goes to the Blazer Store to "give and take."
"I have a lot of stuff that I just don't need, so I bring stuff, drop it off," she explained. "And sometimes I get new stuff – not new, but different. It's new to me. It's better than going to a store and spending $50 for something new. I just come here, spend two Bucks and get everything I need."
Ceart said she knows a woman who lives in the area and who volunteers at the store. The woman, Ceart said, can't work full time because she has a handicapped child at home. "This is her only way to get food, clothes, hygiene products and other items. The stuff that nobody thinks of. She comes in and helps me with the store and, in exchange for her help, since she doesn't have much to give, she takes what she needs."
Giving and helping others at DCCCD's colleges and locations is not limited to these stories, or to the holiday season – it's a year-round effort to help others. To find out about opportunities to serve your classmates and community in the New Year

A South Florida judge said Thursday he will review police video made shortly after Justin Bieber's recent Miami Beach arrest to determine if some portions should be withheld from the public, particularly clips depicting the singer urinating into a cup as part of a drug test.
Miami-Dade Judge William Altfield said after a hearing he will privately review some of the roughly 10 hours of Miami Beach Police video taken after Bieber's Jan. 23 arrest. The Associated Press, The Miami Herald and other media organizations are seeking release of the video, arguing there is no exemption in Florida's generous open records law allowing it to be kept under wraps.
"The right of privacy cannot trump the right of access to public records," said Deanna Shullman, the attorney for the AP and several other media outlets. "My clients have no interest in showing Mr. Bieber's private parts. You have to redact that and release the rest."
Still, Shullman and Scott Ponce, who represents the Herald and Miami's CBS station, agreed with Altfield's plan to review the four clips that show Bieber urinating into the cup, as did state prosecutors.
U.S. & World
Bieber's attorneys are seeking to keep the images private. Attorney Howard Srebnick said he found it "insulting" that the videos could be released perhaps with only Bieber's nether regions censored, contending even that was a violation of privacy.
"There's no reason why the media should make a spectacle of that event," Srebnick said.
Altfield said he would hold another hearing on the matter March 4, meaning the current March 3 trial date for Bieber will be delayed. But the judge said if the various sides could agree on release of non-objectionable video material, that should be done by Wednesday.
"It's prudent for us to make sure we're all on the same page, all of us," he said.
Earlier this month, authorities released surveillance video of the singer being processed after the Miami Beach arrest. The video shows Bieber removing his shoes, socks and black hoodie before he's patted down by an officer.
Bieber has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license. Police say he and singer Khalil Amir Sharieff were involved in an illegal street drag race.
Police said Bieber cursed repeatedly at a police officer after the 4:09 a.m. traffic stop and acknowledged smoking marijuana, drinking and taking an unknown prescription medication. The Miami Beach Police reports, however, show that Bieber was given four alcohol breath tests, with the first two not usable because of insufficient volume of breath.
The third test, administered at 5:37 a.m., showed an alcohol reading of .014 and a fourth, at 5:40 a.m., came up at .011. Both are under the .02 limit in Florida for a driver under the legal drinking age of 21. The limit for drivers above that age is .08.
Police later said a toxicology test detected marijuana and Xanax in his system.
The other news organizations advocating for release of the video are the Orlando Sentinel; Scripps Media Inc. representing the Naples Daily News, the St. Lucie News Tribune, Stuart News, TCPalm.com, the Vero Beach Press Journal, WPTV-TV and WFTS-TV; and the Sun Sentinel Co.

Gannet Brooks was a human news reporter who lived on the planet Earth in the mid-2150s.
Travis Mayweather
Gannet Brooks had been romantically involved with Travis Mayweather prior to the launch of the NX class starship Enterprise. In an attempt to keep Mayweather from accepting a position aboard Enterprise, Gannet Brooks claimed that space exploration was the "last vestige of colonial impulse". Eventually, she and Mayweather made a mutual decision to end their relationship.
Gannet Brooks was present at one of the initial talks for the formation of the Coalition of Planets. When she met Ensign Mayweather at the ceremony, she claimed that she had been busy reporting news since the Xindi attack in 2153.
When Brooks stated that she wanted her relationship with Mayweather to continue, the Earth Starfleet officer was initially hesitant. However, Brooks commented that if she and Mayweather waited another four years to resume their relationship, they would have too much catching up to do. Mayweather agreed and Gannet Brooks soon joined the ensign aboard Enterprise, claiming that she had been assigned to do a news story about the starship. The report would include an insight into the missions which the crew were assigned, their life in space and the perils they met there.
Gannet Brooks interviewed Ensign Mayweather, who gave her a guided tour of some locations aboard Enterprise, including the launch bay and the interior of a shuttlepod. She revealed that she had learned that one of the starship's shuttlepods had penetrated a sphere in the Delphic Expanse and commented that the shuttlepods were beautiful.
In shuttlepod one, Gannet Brooks revealed that she was still attracted to Travis Mayweather when she began to kiss him. After the couple spent a long time in the shuttlepod, they returned to Travis Mayweather's quarters. There, Brooks commented that she would never "settle down", although she would not be adverse to experiencing a serious relationship under the right conditions.
Suspected Terra Prime involvement
The crew of Enterprise later discovered that Gannet Brooks had reconfigured her universal translator at the conference on Earth to record messages from all the other translators and had been spying on the delegates there. Ensign Hoshi Sato claimed that Brooks had accidentally triggered an identification protocol in the network, which Sato had tracked back to the source. Most of the Starfleet officers suspected that Gannet Brooks was a member of the xenophobic organization Terra Prime. However, Ensign Mayweather believed that Brooks may have simply been doing undercover research for a news report.
Captain Jonathan Archer argued that Brooks had recently made several frequent visits to Orpheus Mining Colony on Luna, the headquarters of Terra Prime. Brooks claimed that she had been assigned there by her news agency and knew nothing about two officers from Enterprise who had gone missing on Luna.
Realising her predicament, Brooks demanded to speak with counsel, shortly before Captain Archer impatiently accepted her appeal and ordered her arrest.
Starfleet Intelligence
In Enterprise's brig, Brooks requested to speak with Travis Mayweather. When the ensign arrived, she complained that she had not yet spoken to her lawyer. She also revealed that she was actually working for Starfleet Intelligence, not Terra Prime. Ensign Mayweather found her story hard to accept, however. He believed that Brooks would be able to quickly arrange her own release, if she were being employed by Starfleet Intelligence. In an attempt to explain why she had not already done so, Brooks replied that she was that a Terra Prime agent could possibly be operating on board Enterprise. Her own identity would be compromised if she were to attempt to contact the head of her division.
Mayweather warned Brooks that he would inform Captain Archer of her true identity. However, she and Mayweather speculated that the captain would probably not believe Brooks' story.
Gannet Brooks knew that Captain Archer was planning to find the leader of Terra Prime, John Frederick Paxton, on Mars. Brooks worried that if a Terra Prime agent was working aboard Enterprise, Paxton may have already prepared for the arrival of the Starfleet officers.
Mayweather refused to accept Brooks' story and continued with the mission without telling any of the other officers about her claim.
Shortly thereafter, Paxton was arrested and the Terra Prime spy aboard Enterprise, Ensign Masaro, later committed suicide. Gannet Brooks was released from imprisonment and learned that peace conferences were continuing on Earth. She believed that, due to the work of Ensign Mayweather and others, the Coalition of Planets would eventually be formed. Mayweather agreed with her that, like him, Brooks had just being doing her job. She suggested that she and Mayweather should learn to "get along" like the Vulcans and Andorians, two members of the potential Coalition of Planets who were renowned for their discordant relationship. Mayweather commented that he and Brooks had much to discuss and accompanied her back to Earth in a shuttlepod.
Background Information
Gannet Brooks' surname was not mentioned in canon Star Trek and is taken from script sources, where the character is described as "an attractive woman in her mid-20's". Gannet Brooks was played by Johanna Watts.
- "Demons"
- "Terra Prime"

U.S. court pays $6 million to Gardasil victims
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of Washington Times
U.S. court pays $6 million to Gardasil victims
Washington Times, December 31, 2014
Posted: 2019-04-22 02:18:02
Gardasil, the vaccine for HPV (human papillomavirus), may not be as safe as backers claim. Judicial Watch announced it has received documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) revealing that its National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) has awarded $5,877,710 dollars to 49 victims in claims made against the highly controversial HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines. To date 200 claims have been filed with VICP, with barely half adjudicated. "This new information from the government shows that the serious safety concerns about the use of Gardasil have been well-founded. Public health officials should stop pushing Gardasil on children." said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. The CDC recommends the Gardasil vaccine, made by Merck Pharmaceuticals, for all females between 9 and 26 years to protect against HPV. The facts appear to contradict the FDA's safety statements. The adverse reaction reports detail 26 new deaths reported between September 1, 2010 and September 15, 2011 as well as incidents of seizures, paralysis, blindness, pancreatitis, speech problems, short term memory loss and Guillain-Barré Syndrome. While it is not clear exactly what is causing so many adverse reactions, Gardasil does contain genetically engineered virus-like protein particles as well as aluminum, which can affect immune function. Merck studied the Gardasil vaccine in fewer than 1,200 girls under 16 prior to it being released to the market under a fast-tracked road to licensure.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the [9/11] suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.
Note: The deceptions in the 9/11 official story are clearly shown in this key story. The FBI never revised its list of alleged hijackers. These four are all listed in the official 9/11 Commission report as the hijackers. Click here and scroll down a little over half way to see their photos in the official report.

9/11 saw much of our privacy swept aside. Coronavirus could end it altogether
2020-05-16, CNN News
Spit into a cup when you land in an airport, and your DNA is stored. Every phone in every city talks to every other nearby device. Cross-border travel is enabled only by governments sharing data about millions of private movements. These are all possible visions of a future that the coronavirus pandemic has rushed on us. But a lurch into an even more intense era of mass data-collection - the vast hoovering up of who went near whom and when, who is healthy to travel, and even scraps of personal DNA languishing in databases - appears to be on the verge of becoming the new reality. It took the attacks of September 11, 2001 to shove aside the previous decade's phobia of mass surveillance ... in exchange for keeping us safe from terror. Over the next 15 years, billions of people agreed to a tacit deal where Facebook or Google were permitted to learn a staggering amount about them. But the challenge presented by Covid-19 - and the urgent need to trace contacts and movements - is of another scale of intimacy. South Korea located over 10,000 cellphones near the latest outbreak and texted them. The UK government has toyed with a centralized database of movements and health records, secured by government cyber-spies, able potentially to see who has been sick and who they have been near. Russia and many others have issued QR codes. China is putting surveillance cameras right outside people's doors. Will we look back at 2020 as the moment privacy finally evaporated?

The lack of evidence lockdowns actually worked is a world scandal
2020-05-29, The Telegraph (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
We have detonated the global economy to pursue a lockdown experiment that may not have worked, according to the latest evidence. World-class studies that suggest lockdown did not alter the pandemic's course are mysteriously vanishing into internet obscurity on first contact with the official narrative. This is a scandal so overwhelming that there is only one good place to start: the evidence as it stands. In accordance with pro-lockdown theory, if stay at home orders worked, you might have expected to see daily deaths spike 3-4 weeks after such measures were implemented. But, in Britain, infections may have peaked a week before lockdown, according to Prof Carl Heneghan of Oxford University, with daily deaths in hospitals plateauing a fortnight after it was introduced. We are not an anomaly: peak dates across Europe also seem to confound the official theory. Don't just take my word for it. A University of the East Anglia study posits that Europe's "stay-at-home policies" were not effective. A JP Morgan investigation suggests the virus "likely has its own dynamics" which are "unrelated to often inconsistent lockdown measures". Nobel prize-winning bio-physicist Michael Levitt ... has claimed, sensationally, that the modelling that justified lockdown made the fatally incorrect assumption that Covid-19's spread is continuously exponential. In fact, his research has found an uncanny pattern across numerous countries whereby the virus grows exponentially for two weeks, before slowing seemingly irrespective of ... social distancing measures.

Beijing tightens grip over coronavirus research, amid US-China row on virus origin
2020-04-16, CNN News
China has imposed restrictions on the publication of academic research on the origins of the novel coronavirus, according to a central government directive and online notices published by two Chinese universities, that have since been removed from the web. Under the new policy, all academic papers on Covid-19 will be subject to extra vetting before being submitted for publication. Studies on the origin of the virus will receive extra scrutiny and must be approved by central government officials. Since late January, Chinese researchers have published a series of Covid-19 studies in influential international medical journals. Some findings about early coronavirus cases - such as when human-to-human transition first appeared - have raised questions over the official government account of the outbreak and sparked controversy on Chinese social media. And now, Chinese authorities appear to be tightening their grip on the publication of Covid-19 research. A Chinese researcher who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation said the move was a worrying development that would likely obstruct important scientific research. "I think it is a coordinated effort from (the) Chinese government to control (the) narrative, and paint it as if the outbreak did not originate in China," the researcher told CNN. Last month, Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, promoted a conspiracy on Twitter that the virus had originated in the US and was brought to China by the US military.

If you can't them, join them. Google will sell its tablet computers online to capture some of its rivals' marketshare.
The search titan will sell co-branded tablets directly to consumers via an online store much like rival Apple and Amazon.com, the Wall Street Journal reported. The move is part of a campaign to boost Android tablet sales amid competition from Apple's iPad and Amazon's Kindle Fire.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
It isn't the first time Google has co-branded a device. It offered the Nexus One made by HTC in 2010, but it made way for other more popular Android phones. The 2012 tablet offerings will use Google's name and have a variety of manufacturers such as Samsung and AsusTeK. Further details, such as the launch of the project, are unknown. (Not surprisingly, Google issued no comment on the speculation.)
Google selling tablets is likely a move to stop Apple's iPad use from climbing -- because Android tablets tend to sell much slower. Amazon also came into the market last year with its $199 Kindle Fire -- prompting speculation that Google might also subsidize its tablet in hopes of enticing buyers with a low price.
Why does Google suddenly care so much about tablets? Because tablet ads are more lucrative than smartphone ads and sell at a higher price. Also, since the majority of tablet users use WiFi, there's no pesky wireless carriers to partner with on the device.
Google already has an online store, something that first opened in 2010 as a phone gallery. It's now under the Android banner and features smartphones and tablets where if a person clicks "Buy," the online store sends customers to the manufacturer websites for purchase. Now Google just needs to add the co-branded tablets and it's done.

Difference between revisions of "Pretty Hate Machine"
From NinWiki
Revision as of 11:36, 22 November 2010
Pretty Hate Machine (also known as Halo 2) is the first studio album by Nine Inch Nails, released on October 20, 1989 by TVT Records and was a huge success. The first single off of the album, Down In It, was released on September 27, 1989.
It received radio airplay for the aforementioned "Down In It" as well as subsequent singles "Head Like A Hole" and "Sin".
Working nights at Right Track Studio as a handyman and toilet cleaner, Trent Reznor used studio "down time" to record and develop his own music. Playing most of the keyboards, drum machines, guitars, and samplers himself, he recorded a demo, unofficially titled Purest Feeling.
Teaming up with manager John A. Malm, Jr. they sent the demo to various record labels. Reznor received serious offers from many of them. He signed a deal with TVT Records who, until then, were known mainly for releasing novelty and television jingle records.
Pretty Hate Machine was recorded in various studios around the world with Reznor collaborating with some of his most idolized producers - Flood, Keith LeBlanc, Adrian Sherwood, and John Fryer.
Subsequent Touring
For more information, see Pretty Hate Machine Tour
Purest Feeling
Since the album was released, a recording known as Purest Feeling surfaced. This bootleg album contains the original demo recordings of most of the tracks found on Pretty Hate Machine, as well as a couple that were not used ("Purest Feeling" and "Maybe Just Once").
The entire album was covered by a string quartet in 2005 as The String Quartet Tribute to Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine, arranged by Eric Gorfain. [1]
Rykodisc Re-Release
Pretty Hate Machine went out of print through TVT Records, but was reissued by Rykodisc Records on November 22, 2005 with slight changes in the packaging. Prudential owned TVT's Nine Inch Nails recordings, but Rykodisc leased the rights. Reznor had expressed an interest in creating a "deluxe edition" with surround sound remastering and new/rare remixes, similar to the re-release of The Downward Spiral. Rykodisc liked the idea, but not enough to pay Reznor to do so.
Bicycle Music Re-Release
In April 2010, Bicycle Music bought the entirety of TVT's catalogue, including Pretty Hate Machine. They confirmed that they would be reissuing the album once more, and there is speculation that they would be willing to release the deluxe edition proposed by TVT in 2005.
On October 22, Reznor announced that the reissue was to be a remastered edition, with album art re-interpreted by Rob Sheridan, to be released November 22.
Track Listing
Cover Art
Reznor stated in one of his posts on the Prodigy service in the early 90s that:
"The cover of PHM is a photo of the blades of some sort of turbine stretched vertically so they would look somewhat like bones or a rib cage."[2]
Album Credits
It should be noted that the line "Kicking ass way beyond the call of duty: John A. Malm, Jr." is not present in the RYKO CD rerelease.

Mary Baker Eddy
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Mary Baker Eddy (born Mary Morse Baker; July 16, 1821 – December 3, 1910) founded the Church of Christ, Scientist in 1879 and was the author of its fundamental doctrinal textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. She took the name Mary Baker Glover from her first marriage and was also known as Mary Baker Glover Eddy or Mary Baker G. Eddy from her third marriage.
- One sacrifice, however great, is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinner's part. That God's wrath should be vented upon His beloved Son, is divinely unnatural. Such a theory is man-made. … The material blood of Jesus was no more efficacious to cleanse from sin when it was shed upon 'the accursed tree,' than when it was flowing in his veins as he went daily about his Father's business. … His disciples believed Jesus to be dead while he was hidden in the sepulchre, whereas he was alive[.]
- Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 23:3–6, 25:6–8, 44:28–29 (1867).
- It is plain that God does not employ drugs or hygiene, nor provide them for human use; else Jesus would have recommended and employed them in his healing. The sick are more deplorably lost than the sinning, if the sick cannot rely on God for help and the sinning can. … The universal belief in physics weighs against the high and mighty truths of Christian metaphysics. This erroneous general belief, which sustains medicine and produces all medical results, works against Christian Science[.] … If we would heal by the Spirit, we must not hide the talent of spiritual healing under the napkin of its form[.] … The tender word and Christian encouragement of an invalid, pitiful patience with his fears and the removal of them, are better than hecatombs of gushing theories, stereotyped borrowed speeches, and the doling of arguments, which are but so many parodies on legitimate Christian Science, aflame with divine Love.
- Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 143:5, 155:15 (1867).
- The theory of three person in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Tri-unity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I AM. … Jesus Christ is not God, as Jesus himself declared, but is the Son of God.
- Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 256:9–11, 361:11–13 (1867).
- Who would stand before a blackboard, and pray the Principle of mathematics to work out the problem? The rule is already established, and it is our task to work out the solution.

Mark Hackett, chief executive of Southampton University Hospital NHS Trust, has promised to deal properly with data security after one of his staff lost a laptop computer with 33,000 patients' records on it.
The laptop was left unattended in a retinal scan van. It was password protected but not encrypted. It was attached to the van by cable but this was cut during the theft.
Sally-Anne Poole, head of investigations at the Information Commissioner's Office, said: "Storing large volumes of personal information on portable devices is unnecessarily risky. Why were so many records downloaded on to an unencrypted laptop in the first place? It is vital that NHS organisations ensure their staff handle personal information securely,".
The theft happened last October.
Hackett promised the ICO he would make sure encryption was used on all mobile and portable devices, that physical security is enough to stop unauthorised access to data, that his staff know the rules and are properly trained in keeping data safe. ®

Thank you CZ, for the inspiration to document my little Kevin and Winnie.
When Jake asked to go to Mickeys Not So Scary this year, my initial reaction was to turn him down. Its expensive and exhausting. I didnt think I had the fortitude to suffer the lines and hassle. Michael is the one who said, These years are going by fast, and he wont want to do this much longer. Thats all it took for me. When we told Jake we were going, he was ecstatic. We offered to take Lani as a surprise to both of them. It was a priceless moment when I put Lanis ticket in front of her. The experience was extra special because Lani had only been to Disney once at two years old. The kids talked about it for weeks. Lani told me that Friday afternoon at school, all she could do was say to herself, Disney, Disney, Disney! Theres a short window of life when anticipating an event creates magical memories. The excitement dwarfs everything else. I know now, its a fleeting time, gone in the blink of an eye.

Aaron Selby '06 doesn't look back, he just plans ahead.
The Little Giant linebacker will be back on the field this fall after suffering a season-ending broken leg in Wabash's fourth game last fall.
"It was one of those things; it was a minor setback," the Southmont High School graduate said. "I had been very blessed and very protected in my football career. I've played football since third grade and I never had a broken bone, never a major injury."
Selby was the Little Giants' leading tackler through three games last year and was coming off a solid sophomore season as an All-NCAC Honorable Mention player.
The 6-2, 210-pounder doesn't plan on just coming back this fall, he plans on being better. "A lot of people said you're not going to be the same when you come back, and I say well, what if I'm better? It never went through my mind that I'm going to let this thing keep me down from playing football."
Selby is going through preseason workouts and conditioning with his teammates. He was a full participant in spring practice. The senior has eight screws and a metal plate in his leg
"I'll admit I'm a little tentative right now. I'm a little leery as far as that goes. I'm looking forward to seeing how it's going to feel. It's probably going to hurt a little and it may take me a little longer to get myself back into shape."
Wabash coach Chris Creighton watched several defensive starters go down last year and is thrilled to have Selby back on the field. "Aaron has been a player for us every year since his freshman year," Creighton said. "He's a great person on top of that. He helps change our defense. He's such a good athlete, so instinctive and just a great football player."
Selby's value extends beyond the field too. "Absolutely, he knows this program and we expect him to be a leader," Creighton said.
Selby welcomes the leadership role. "I think we feel the responsibility and leadership needed from us," Selby said of his senior teammates. "We're here to get the team to bond together. That's one of the things that take precedence at camp. We've been put in positions of leadership in the off-season but as far as producing now when it's time to practice and time to get guys ready to go, that's going to be the major challenge for us."
Selby admits his senior teammates expect big things this fall. "We have high aspirations," he said. "We have one of the most talented teams to ever come through here. We have nine returning starters on defense."
He isn't shy to add an undefeated season and playoff run is the seniors' expectation.
Hewitt is Wabash College's Director of New Media/Web Editor.

Sex misconduct trial of former Norwich patrolman gets under way
Editor's note: This version corrects the age of Kenneth Nieves.
A 23-year-old woman testified in New London Superior Court Monday that former Norwich patrolman Kenneth Nieves was like a father figure to her before he initiated a long-term sexual relationship that began when she was 14 or 15 years old.
The affair lasted until she was 18 and had been living out of state for a period of time, she testified.
"My time away made me realize how wrong and inappropriate and disgusting my relationship with him was," she said.
Now a police officer herself, in a department outside New London County, the woman was on the witness stand during the first day of Nieves' trial. The 45-year-old Nieves is charged with three counts of risk of injury to a minor for allegedly having sex with the girl while she was underage.
A Norwich patrolman from 2002 to 2011, Nieves was arrested last year following an internal affairs investigation within the department that became a criminal investigation when the alleged victim, approached by police in September 2011, disclosed the relationship.
The woman testified that her sister was friends with Nieves' daughter, and their families became close when she was a high school freshman.
Her own father was not part of her life. Her mother, a nurse with medical problems, often had to rely on others to help, she said. Nieves often picked her up — usually in a police cruiser and in uniform — when she worked evenings at a Norwichtown veterinarian clinic. He was nice to her and friendly, she testified.
"I thought there was more of a father-daughter relationship with him and I was quickly proven wrong," she testified.
She had no prior sexual experience when Nieves began flirting and initiated sexual contact with her, she testified. The encounters usually took place in the basement of the veterinarian hospital or in Nieves' cruiser and personal car, she said, describing the sex acts in graphic detail. Nieves gave her gift cards and money. He presented her with a sex toy that was entered into evidence as a court exhibit.
By the time Nieves took her to her school's Father-Daughter dance at her mother's request, their relationship was already sexual and she felt awkward, the woman testified.
"Fathers and daughters don't engage in sexual activity," she said.
She said she never told anyone about her relationship with Nieves until she was approached last year by Norwich Deputy Chief Warren Mocek. She said she hesitated to provide a statement, fearing it would cause problems on her job.
"I decided I had to speak up so no others would be victimized," she testified.
Nieves does not dispute the relationship, but claims the woman was 16, which is the age of consent, when it began.
Under cross-examination by defense attorney Charles Tiernan, the woman admitted that Nieves had co-signed a car loan for her and had gifted her a washer and dryer. Tiernan introduced a greeting card the woman had sent Nieves and photographs of the two of them at the dance and at a birthday party in 2010.
Tiernan asked her to be specific about when the relationship started, and she repeatedly replied that it was in the winter of 2003-2004, when she was 14 or 15. Tiernan implied with his questions that because of concerns about her job, she said she was underage when the relationship began so she would appear to be a victim rather than someone of questionable moral character.
Under re-questioning by Prosecutor Theresa Anne Ferryman, the woman admitted that because she is of small stature working as a police officer, she has to prove herself "more than others."
If presented as a victim, "I would think they would think less of me," she said.

If you've ever been to a conference like SXSW, you know how hard it is to not keep going back year after year. A few of the Ars crew went last year, and we decided that not only would we like to go back in 2009, but we'd like to put on a panel on something we're experts in: our community. This is all about how you, our readers, have made Ars the awesome place it is today. Our panel will draw on Editor-in-Chief Ken Fisher's upcoming O'Reilly book on community building and will hopefully help other budding communities take the right paths and learn from our ten years of community-building experience
To that end, we've decided to put on a community-building panel at SXSW Interactive 2009. There's just one catch, we need your votes to help us get our panel selected!
If you could take some time today, please consider heading over to our panel proposal and voting. You'll have to make an account (yeah, we know), but it's painless and quick. And, if you're going to make it out to Austin this year for the conference, keep tabs on the site and in our forums. Hopefully we can all meet up while in Texas!
