BOSTON (CBS) – The number I am looking for is actually 59½!
You finally can get at those dollars you have been stashing away for years in your retirement plans without paying a 10% penalty.
Congress imposed a penalty on early withdrawals from retirement plans to discourage workers from taking money out of their retirement plans. Now I am not so sure that the penalty has really discouraged workers from getting at their money.
Surveys have shown that over 60% of workers who leave their jobs before age 59½ and have access to their 401(k) plan money take the money; even though their employer withholds 20% for taxes and they face that 10% penalty when they file their tax return.
What's so magical about age 59½? Well for starters, Congress now considers you old enough to retire and allows you access to your retirement money. That could be your 401(k), 403(b), your self-employment plans such as a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA or Keogh, your IRA and your Roth IRA.
Now the Roth IRA has one more wrinkle. To make tax free withdrawals, the money must have been in the Roth account for at least five years before you reached age 59½. But with Roth IRAs you have access to your contributions at any time for you have already paid income taxes on those dollars.
If you haven't formally retired or don't need the money to support your current lifestyle in retirement, my advice would be; leave the money alone. If you have retired and have your retirement money scattered about, you may want to begin to think about consolidating your accounts. Rolling your money into a single IRA would make the paperwork so much simpler and getting one statement instead of 4 or 5 cuts down on your management time.
Congress may think you are old, your employer may think you are old, the bagger at the grocery store may call you "mam", your kids may think you are from the dark ages, but on this one trust me, 59½ is not old!
So your retirement planning should not stop once you reach this magic age. If you are working, continue to contribute to your retirement accounts and invest for some growth in your portfolio because you may have 30 years or more in retirement. If you plan to work until you can collect your full Social Security benefits try to sock away as much as you can in the next 7 years.
One more thing: If you could sock away $5,000 a year for the next 7 years and we assume an 8% return you could have close to $50,000 at retirement ($47,000 to be exact). Now if you don't need it right away and it stays until you must begin mandatory withdrawals you would have an extra $70,000 in your nest egg.

The Brain: Now You See It, Soon You Won't
Posted on by Dr. Francis Collins
A post mortem brain is a white, fatty, opaque, three-pound mass. Traditionally scientists have looked inside it by cutting the brain into thin slices, but the relationships and connections of the tens of billions of neurons are then almost impossible to reconstruct. What if we could strip away the fat and study the details of the wiring and the location of specific proteins, in three dimensions? An NIH funded team at Stanford University has done just that, developing a breakthrough method for unmasking the brain.
Using a chemical cocktail, they infuse the brain with a hydrogel that locks in the brain's form and structure in a type of matrix. Then the fatty layer that coats each nerve cell is stripped away, leaving a transparent brain (check out the transparent mouse brain below). The hydrogel prevents the brain from disintegrating into a puddle once the fat is gone.
The new technique, cleverly but mind-bendingly named Clear Lipid-exchanged Anatomically Rigid Imaging/immunostaining-compatible Tissue Hydrogel─or CLARITY─will undoubtedly advance the BRAIN Initiative that President Obama announced just last week at the White House . In fact, Karl Deisseroth, leader of the CLARITY project, was in the East Room that morning, and has been chosen as a member of the NIH BRAIN working group.
Using CLARITY, the authors follow an individual neuron as its snakes through the brain of an autistic individual. They've stained the transparent brain in multicolored fluorescent hues to highlight the activity of individual genes, cells, neurotransmitters, and proteins.
In another extraordinary technical feat, they've imaged the transparent mouse brain with a light microscope, revealing a forest of neurons that glow like bioluminescent trees (below).
CLARITY is powerful. It will enable researchers to study neurological diseases and disorders, focusing on diseased or damaged structures without losing a global perspective. That's something we've never before been able to do in three dimensions.

New Yorkers who cherish Fire Island as an idyllic summertime getaway are crediting a carefully maintained wall of protective dunes with taking the brunt of Superstorm Sandy's fury.
The wall of water swamped nearly the entire 32-mile-long barrier island off Long Island. It destroyed or washed away nearly 200 homes and scraped the sand dunes down to nothing.
But more than 4,000 structures survived. Dozens of them appear uninhabitable without major repair work. Some places sit on stilts, naked to the ocean waves. Others are covered in muck several inches deep.
The work of replacing sand dunes that washed away in the storm is already under way. Workers are scooping up sand from the streets, putting it in bags and piling it up where the dunes once stood.

Kanye West unveils photo of baby on TV's 'Kris'
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Baby North West has made her television debut.
Kanye West showed a photo Friday of his 2-month-old daughter with Kim Kardashian on Kris Jenner's Fox show, "Kris." The family matriarch also posted an image of her granddaughter on Twitter.
Though cameras constantly follow the Kardashian clan, this is the first time the newest member of the family has been publicly unveiled. The photo shows a brown-haired baby reaching toward the camera.
West also discussed fatherhood and his relationship with Kardashian. He called her "my joy" and said "she brought my new joy into the world."
But he acknowledged being a new dad in the spotlight isn't easy.
"I'm supposed to be this musical genius and everything," he said, "but I really can't work the car seat that well."
He said parenting has brought him and Kardashian closer because "there's someone more important to us than us for the first time."

From Gambit wiki
(This document is a stub.)
Gambit features an internal source debugger, see the User Documentation.
Tracking down mistyped identifiers (i.e. variable and procedure names)
Typically you solve this through compiling your code, i.e. (compile-file X), and then load the compiled object file, i.e. (load "file") or (load "file.o1"). The typical warning message is
*** WARNING -- Variable "namespace-name#identifier-name" used in module "filename.o1" is undefined
In order to track down the line number of the undefined identifier, compile with the with-gvm option. The addressed row numbers are found on the rows starting with "line " above the rows with occurrences of namespace-name#identifier-name in them, in the gvm file.
Tracking down segmentation faults
Typical problem sources
Running (#!void) in code compiled with (declare (not safe)) does produce sigsegv:s. Addressing nonexistant variables in code compiled with (declare (not safe)) may cause this as well, i.e. (string-ref nonexistant-variable 0) or (set! nonexistant-variable 'a-value).
Also, pay attention that all Gambit-internal functions without typechecks are always invoked with correct parameters. These are prefixed with ##. I.e., the car function with typechecks is (car), and the one without typechecks is (##car). Thus, (car #!void) will not be fatal in code compiled with (declare (safe)), though, (##car #!void) may be fatal in code compiled with (declare (safe)). And, as we already concluded, both these expressions are fatal to execute in code compiled with (declare (not safe)).
Compiling Gambit for debugging purposes
Download the latest Gambit sourcecode.
Unpack it, usually you do that through executing tar xvfz gambc-v4_X_X.tgz in your shell.
- Run the configure script. It is normally compiled with --enable-single-host flipped on. If you want Gambit to dump internal messages to the file "console" in the current directory, also pass the --enable-debug parameter. To see all options, run ./configure --help.
- Edit the file makefile using your favourite editor. There are at least two rows that contain the sequence -O1 (i.e. dash O one), in the current version that's the two rows starting with FLAGS_OBJ and FLAGS_DYN. Replace -O1 with -g -O0 . The -g option will make your C compiler include debugging symbols on compilation, and the -O0 will force it not to do any optimizations on the assembly/binary code it generates, thus the mapping of rows of C/C++ code into memory addresses during program execution will be the most precise your C/C++ compiler is capable of generating.
- Compile Gambit through typing make
- If you want this Gambit to replace your current installation, run make install
Running compile-file with debugging options flipped on
When running (compile-file ), remember to pass the cc-opts: "-g -O0" .
Also, there are the options:
- track-scheme to make the C/C++ compiler use the source Scheme code instead of the source C/C++ code for debugging info. This is an option that you may want to vary during debugging work.
- keep-c to make compile-file not remove the intermediary C/C++ code file.
Run Gambit in GDB
GDB is found on http://sourceware.org/gdb/, and is typically included as an optional package with Linux and BSD distributions.
From your shell, run
gdb gsc
GDB will start. If you want to pass gsc argument, type
set args=[the arguments]
for example
set args=-e "(display \"test\n\")" -
To start Gambit witihn GDB, type run.
If your Gambit application crashes, you will get a prompt in GDB indicating so. To get a backtrace of the stack of your program, type bt . The backtrace should also be interesting for anyone who would assist you in finding the reason to the crash.
To quit, type quit.
Other things you may want to do
There are ample of debug utilities, for different operating systems, that may be interesting for you to use.
For instance, strace is an utility that displays all Kernel invocations your application does. Remember to run it with the -Ff options.
valgrind is an utility that traces memory leaks. (Gambit will not leak memory in itself, but a faulty Foreign Function Interface library could do that.)
Tracking down memory leaks
Superflouous symbols
Symbols are not garbage collected. Thus, if you do (string->symbol X) on gigabytes of string data, then gigabytes of heap space will be permanently allocated for this. If you want to use ample of symbols in your application, use uninterned symbols, generated using make-uninterned-symbol .
Memory leaks in FFI:s
While Gambit garbage collects Scheme objects on its own, objects created by FFI:s may not be garbage collected automatically, and, there may be bugs in FFI:s. If you use an FFI, look at how it should be used carefully, and if you suspect there's a memory leak in it, analyze its sourcecode, and use debug utilities such as valgrind.
Garbage collection threshold
Pay attention to the runtime options h (maximum heapsize in kilobytes) and l (livepercent). See the reference manual for more information. Setting livepercent to five means that garbage collection will take place at the time that there are nineteen times more memory allocated for objects that should be garbage collected, than there is memory allocated for objects that should not. The reason the livepercent option is there, is to give a way to control how sparing/generous the garbage collector should be about memory consumption, vs. how heavy/light it should be in CPU load.

Rove Talks About Idealism in American Politicsby Greg Slisz '10 • March 22, 2010 Share:
Conservative strategist Karl Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, spoke to members of the Wabash community about what he sees as the essential role of idealism in American politics.
Rove's speech was sponsored by the Wabash Commentary and the Young America's Foundation. Rove's appearance coincided with the release of his new book, Courage and Consequence. The near capacity crowd featured a big Crawfordsville community turnout.
"Without [idealism]," Rove said, "the American system won't work."
However, he warned that such idealism must be balanced by the reality of politics, something he feels President Obama has so far failed to achieve. Rove noted that Obama's "historic" 2008 election represented everything that is "grand and good about our country."
He praised the president for his inspirational campaign message, one of hope and change. But Rove criticized Obama for failing to translate the ideals and promises of his campaign into his presidency.
"Whatever happened to scrubbing the budget line by line?" Rove asked, when comparing the President Obama's campaign promises of fiscal conservatism with the actual spending he has approved.
The president's idealism first clashed with political reality, Rove said, when Obama presented the stimulus plan to Congress and the American public.
"You cannot grow the economy by growing government," Rove told a largely approving crowd in the Wabash Pioneer Chapel. "You cannot spend your way to prosperity." Rove called the stimulus plan an "odd approach" to economic recovery, and he said the process was poorly managed by the president.
"Congress is in need of adult supervision from the President of the United States whether he's a Democrat or a Republican," Rove said to a round of applause.
In addition to the president's stimulus plan, Rove also criticized last year's cap-and-trade legislation, of which he said "we should pray never sees the light of day."
According to Rove, the current health care legislation is just another example of the president's disconnect with political reality. "The most damaging thing this [bill] will do is grow the federal government," Rove warned, criticizing the legislation's pork-barrel spending and preference to certain groups such as unions.
As this disconnect has increased, Rove said, President Obama's approval ratings have steadily fallen. "People voted for Obama not because they thought he was qualified, but because of his message of hope and inspiration," Rove said. "[The Administration's current policies] are not what we were led to believe we would get."
Now, new idealism, such as that displayed by the tea party movement, is replacing the idealism of Obama's campaign. Rove explained that this idealism is what makes America great. No matter how down we get, Rove said that Americans never think that improving the country is out of their control. That, Rove said, is what helped make America great.
Rove's lecture was followed by a half-hour Q&A session of questions submitted by the Wabash community. The session focused on America's international presence and foreign policy, as well as Rove's opinions on the future of the Republican Party. "The Republican Party must reassert itself," Rove said.
However, Rove also stressed the need for a return to bipartisan decision-making, rather than the "aloof and detached" attitude that the Obama administration has displayed, in order to make the administration's programs successful.
Despite the fact that he was dismayed by many aspects of today's politics, Rove emphasized that he was still particularly proud of the United States' world generosity.
He also cited individuals, such as a doctor in his 60s who enlisted for active duty in the military after losing his son in combat, as another main reason why he was still so proud of his home country.

The Museum of the Marine Carolinas, is a noble concept and more than a decade old. But, was it realistic, a boondoggle, a rip-off or a bridge too far?
To the editor:
Realistic (adjective) � having or showing a sensible and practical idea of what can be achieved or expected.
Boondoggle (verb) � to waste money or time on unnecessary or questionable projects.
Rip-off (noun) � To exploit, swindle, cheat or defraud.
The Museum of the Marine Carolinas, is a noble concept and more than a decade old. But, was it realistic, a boondoggle, a rip-off or a bridge too far?
I recently read that the Museum of the Marine Carolinas (MMC) was not doing too well fiscally. I am not surprised. As early Aug. 24, 2001, I cautioned both the county and city leaders to avoid investing in this project. That advice was ignored, so I recently did a little research.
According to the Jacksonville city manager, Jacksonville has provided $800,000 and the city�s Tourist Development Fund has provided $200,000 (all earmarked for physical items). The Onslow County public information officer indicates, $625,925.78, of the one million pledged by Onslow County, has been remitted to the museum.
The North Carolina General Assembly donated $4 million in the 2003 session of the House (HOUSE DRH80415-LG-219 (05/12)). The Gold LEAF program gave $390,000 (2006 and 2007). One Museum of the Marine Carolinas museum website indicates individuals can purchase �bricks� at $150 to $260 each and membership is available at $150 and up. Thus far, not counting the �bricks� and �membership,� more than 6$ million dollars has been donated � the bulk of which came from public coffers.
What do we have to show for that $6 million or more? To the best of my knowledge, and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, only a 30-slot extension to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial parking lot. That is, if that 30-slot extension is indeed the MMC parking lot and paid for by MMC funds; and is not an extension of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial parking lot paid for by VVM funds. The proposed $200,000, 11-foot bronze Eagle, Globe and Anchor sculpture has yet to be installed.
I believe there are a lot of unknowns. Where has all the money gone? How much money has been collected? What are the museum�s assets and where are they located? Should the project be audited? Should public funds be withdrawn or at least placed on hold?
Over the life of this project, how much has been spent � especially on salary? Should staff wages and/or staff be reduced? Has management been effective? Was this project unrealistic, a boondoggle or a rip-off? You decide.
As I indicated in the beginning, the Museum of the Marine Carolinas is a noble concept; however, in my opinion, at best it certainly appears to have been a bridge too far and the only project beneficiaries, at this time, appear to be the staff that have been or are drawing a salary. I look forward to the answers.

Skip to comments.Jihad in America: More bad news for the Wahhabi lobby
Posted on 09/05/2003 5:11:41 AM PDT by JohnHuang2
Musa Abu Marzook
Among the SDGTs named is Musa Abu Marzook, who currently serves as the Deputy Chief of Hamas Political Bureau in Syria. Prior to working out of Syria, Marzook was responsible for establishing a major base of international financial and political support for Hamasright here in the United States.
In 1981, Marzook founded the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) in Richardson, Texas. Throughout the decade, the organization featured Hamas terrorists and radical clerics as keynote speakers at its annual gatherings. The 1989 convention in Kansas City was addressed by a veiled terrorist who recounted the sabotaging of a bus that killed 16 people in Israel. One year later, at another IAP conference in Kansas City, leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas were featured guests. FBI Counterterrorism chief Oliver Revell told The Washington Post on October 31, 1998 that, IAP is a Hamas front Its controlled by Hamas, it brings Hamas leaders to the US, it does propaganda for Hamas. The IAP remains active today.
The IAP was intimately linked with another Richardson-based Hamas front, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. On December 4, 2001, the Federal Government froze the assets of the HLF, with Treasury Secretary Paul ONeill stating, The Holy Land Foundation masquerades as a charity, while its primary purpose is to fund Hamas. Tax records show that Marzook made a one time cash donation of $210,000 to the HLF in 1993.
One of the IAPs most prominent spinoffs is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). A vehement critic of the Bush administrations policies in the war on terror, CAIR was formed by two IAP officials, Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, the latter of whom has openly pledged his support for Hamas. Ghassan Elashi, founder of the Texas branch of CAIR, also served as Chairman of the Holy Land Foundation. Nonetheless, CAIR continues to speak on behalf of moderate Muslims in the US, and has been granted meetings with high-level administration officials.
Musa Abu Marzook was identified as a Hamas operative in 1995 and detained by authorities while the US mulled over an Israeli extradition request. Although a U.S. District Court Judge ruled that Marzook should be extradited, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dropped the request, fearing retaliatory attacks. The US then deported Marzook to Jordan in 1997. Hamas leaders kept in contact with Marzook during his detention through operative lawyer Stanley Cohen, who said after the 9/11 attacks that he would represent Osama bin Laden. After arriving in Jordan it was not long before Marzook reassumed his leadership position in Syria.
Hamas officials were not the only ones looking out for Musa Abu Marzook while he was in US custody. Muslims for a Better America, a self-described sister organization of the American Muslim Council joined with CAIR and the IAP to protest the court-ordered extradition. In a press statement released by the Marzook Legal Fund, the groups lamented, the concern that our judicial system has been kidnapped by Israeli interests.
President Bushs designation of Marzook as a global terrorist leaves no doubt that American Muslim groups like IAP and CAIR that he helped to create are fundamentally based on extremist ideologies and form an integral part of an international terrorist support network. It should be no surprise that these groups routinely defend those who commit such egregious acts and attack the policies that are designed to prevent them.
Soliman Biheiri
The investigation into Marzooks financial activities in the United States has cast light on another individual intimate with links to terrorist entities and mainstream American Muslim groups alike. Soliman S. Biheiri is the founder of BMI, Inc., a now-defunct Islamic Investment firm under federal investigation for ties to designated terrorist entities. Earlier this month, Biheiri was indicted on immigration charges that he provided false information for his residency application. One terrorist entity with links to Biheiri is Musa Abu Marzook, an investor in BMI.
BMIs chief investor was Yasin Qadi, named an SDGT in October 2001 for his financial support of Hamas and al-Qaeda. The designation was primarily the result of Qadis relationship with Mohammad Salah, who plead guilty to being a Hamas operative in Israel in 1995. Salah was employed at the Quranic Literary Institute in suburban Illinois in 1991 when Qadi transferred $820,000 to the group. The money was then invested in real estate, and the profits were directed to Salah. Although Qadi has maintained his innocence, the Wall Street Journal reported in November 2002 that bank records show a direct transaction of $27,000 from Qadi to Salah in March of 1992.
BMI also accepted substantial funding from Sana-Bell, Inc., a US charity founded by the Saudi-based International Islamic Relief Organization. Corporate documents list Yaqub Mirza as a registered agent of Sana-Bell. Mirza, whose Virginia offices were raided by Federal agents in March of 2002, is suspected of being a key financier of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and al-Qaeda, funneling money through several of his investment firms including Sterling Management, the SAAR foundation, and SAFA trust.
Soliman Biheiri was a founding member of Ptech, a Boston-based computer software firm raided by US customs officials in December, 2002. That investigation was launched after Ptech associates expressed concern that the company was tied to terrorist funding. Yasin Qadi and Biheiris BMI, Inc. were two primary financiers of Ptech. Moreover, the companys chief scientist and board member, Hussein Ibrahim, came to the company from BMI.
Biheiri is a member of the Advisory Board of the American Muslim Council. Thats bad news for the Bush administration, since Presidential political strategist Karl Rove has gone to great lengths to pander to terrorist-support groups like the AMC. Since September 11th, the American Muslim council has been afforded meetings with top administration officials including President Bush, Karl Rove and FBI Director Robert Mueller. In June, 2002, the FBI Directors spokesman Bill Carter stated that the FBI considers the AMC to be, the most mainstream Muslim group in the United States.
Despite gaining high-level political access, the AMC has done nothing to curb its extremist rhetoric. AMC founder Abdurahman Alamoudi has pronounced his support for Hamas and Hezbolla, and Executive Director Eric Vickers stated in a June 27, 2002 Hardball with Chris Matthews appearance on MSNBC that al-Qaeda was, involved in a resistance movement.
The AMC, along with other mainstream groups like CAIR, have gone to great lengths to oppose government initiatives in the war on terror. As investigations into individuals like Soliman Biheiri become public, it becomes increasingly apparent that these groups are not fighting a noble, disinterested battle to protect ordinary Muslim Americans, but instead struggling to keep their own illicit connections with terrorists concealed.
Randall Todd Royer
On Monday August 25th, three Northern Virginia men pleaded guilty to conspiracy and gun charges for their role in plotting to join the designated terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. Yong Ki Kwon, Khwaja Mahmood Hasan, and Donald T. Surratt are three members of an eleven-member terrorist network that attended overseas terrorist training camps in Pakistan and trained for jihad on paintball courses in Virginia.
The other eight men have all entered pleas of not guilty, including Randall Todd Ismail Royer who served as the ringleader of the group, arranging sponsorship for several of the men to travel abroad as he had done before. Royer has been candid about his role in aiding Bosnian Muslim forces during the 1990s and contributing to Lashkar-e-Taibas terrorist campaign to retake the Kashmir region from India.
When he wasnt abroad aiding Jihadists, Royer was employed at the AMC, CAIR, and the Muslim American Society. Though his former employers have remained unusually silent-- usually they howl in protest when the Feds arrest terror suspects-- Royer sought legal defense not from a professional defense lawyer, but from Hamas lawyer Stanley Cohen.
When the man who once said he would defend Osama bin Laden is defending a former AMC and CAIR employee; when an AMC board member is under federal investigation for his companys illicit ties to terrorists; when founding members of American Muslim organizations become designated terrorists, we must ask ourselves how much longer we can continue to believe the claim that such groups represent the interests of Americas moderate Muslims, and whether the Bush administration should continue to give them a political avenue to further their dangerous agenda.
If libs had their own dictionary, that would surely be their definition of a conservative.

A refugee from the Muslim Middle East thinks he has discovered Islam's 20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020 a plan revealed in the latest issue of Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Anis Shorrosh, author of ''Islam Revealed'' and ''The True Furqan,'' is a Christian Arab-American who emigrated from Arab-controlled Jerusalem in January 1967.
''The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,'' Shorrosh says. ''Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?''
1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.
2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic word for black and slave is the same, ''Abed.''
3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.
4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.
5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.
6. Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America black gold. Americas economy depends on oil and 41 percent of it comes from the Middle East.
7. Yell ''foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran'' anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.
8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. (Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?) Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.
9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:
10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabias Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America's high schools free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.
11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish ''Centers for Islamic studies'' with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher-education institutions.
12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.
13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.
14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls.
15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not America's justice system.
16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.
17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting freshman take at least one course on Islam.
18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by Internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media.
19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.
20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the U.S. by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.
Shorrosh is a member of the Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries, and is a lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. ''Islam Revealed'' is a bestseller now in its eighth printing. His forthcoming 10th book, from which the 20-point plan is abridged, is titled ''Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.''
''The True Furqan'' is also available for viewing on Islam-Exposed.org. Shorrosh's new website is Focusing-on-Islam.com.
3) Load all muslims onto ships, send forthwith to any middle east muslim country;
You're making a huge and unwarranted assumtion.
4) Bulldoze all mosques and islamic schools in US;
Ah there's that pesky 1st amendment thing again. Why in the world the Founding Fathers put that in I don't know. After all we should ALL worshop the same.
5) Concurrently, close borders with military;
Any comprehension of the size of the military that would take? Besides defence dosen't win wars..offense does.
It seems most logical under the circumstances.
Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.

This post rated AA+.
From the subjective analysis that concludes the forthcoming August 2011 Stat Pack.
Advice for market participants:
SELLERS: You are right to believe that absolutely everything favors buyers right now including the price tag on your house. The question you must ask yourself is this: if you were a buyer in this market and this was the first-time you encountered your house, would you buy it? Would you buy your house during a time when the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is questionable? When the US lost it's AAA credit-rating? When job security was so tenuous? Yes, this is made up for by the fact that values are depressed, interest rates are incredibly low, and there are 20% fewer homes to choose from then just one-year ago. While all the data is positive as far as "the deal" is concerned, buyers are taxed with everyday concerns that make ANY compelling decision to buy your home or someone else's, extremely difficult. Whatever you can do to mitigate those concerns: do it.
BUYERS: This is the very definition of a kick-yourself market. Will you kick yourself for buying in this market? Or will you kick yourself for missing the boat and not buying? EITHER could be true. YOU are the only one that can answer that question, and it must be answered based on your personal situation. In the last 40 years, housing has not been this affordable. And at the same time, the perceived risk of making any major financial investment due to multiple circumstances beyond your control has never appeared greater. If you are in it for the long-haul, and that is defined as a period of time longer than five years of occupancy and ownership, then this is a brilliant market of markets to buy into. If you have any degree of uncertainty about five years of ownership, you best act quick on any decent rental, because there is only 1 – 3% occupancy out there in single-family rental properties.
A memory from my time studying history at Colorado College: freshmen regularly observed that "we learn from history" and "history repeats itself". These comments would then be thrown out like fresh meat to a pack of starved lions, also known as the upperclassmen, who would pepper the room with their Aristotelian intellect, essentially rehearsing their law school application interview with startling logical brilliance. Of course we learn from history. Of course it repeats itself. But the implications of x and variables y and z will later cause the following courses of action, either action A or action B. It was simple. We were post-Cold War, Clinton-era wunderkids. We had it all figured out. Here was an orderly, systematized world that was easily understood and readily grasped.
Fast forward 15 years…
Standard and Poors just downgraded America's credit rating to AA+. And the historical precedent for this is what exactly? Beyond that, the administration of this variable onto the system known as global finance will cause what future courses of action? A, B… Z? Why did Standard and Poors downgrade Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac this past Monday, and not in 2009? Why is France with a substantially larger percentage of debt to GDP still rated AAA? Why can't I defend away $2 trillion mathematical errors? Does it matter?
The bizarro land of real estate invokes the immortal words of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson (which strangely becomes more relevant with each passing year) "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro". There is no editorial accident in constructing a SWOT analysis to lead-off this month's Stat Pack that shows all strengths and all opportunities as the present condition of the real estate market. Without getting too subjective, it is pretty safe to say that everything out there in the real estate market is really good right now: prices are mostly stable, inventory levels are down substantially, foreclosures are down by over 30% from a year ago (which was down off of 2009), interest rates are microscopic at 4.25% as of this writing, prepaid PMI programs give buyers with high credit, real income and the knowledge to buy in good areas incredible opportunities right now and quite a few sellers want/need to make a deal. Everyone of those statements is objectively, measurably accurate.
The problem has to do with everything else that is beyond the consumer's ability to control. When you buy real estate you participate in world finance, like it or not. All those subprime mortgages were tied to Mexican banana farms which were tied to Thai import/export companies which were tied to Korean manufacturing which were tied to Irish discount airlines. The series of dominoes from one man's excessive spending in 2005 and subsequent foreclosure in 2007 ended up carrying global implications because bits and pieces of his mortgage and hundreds of other defaulting mortgages were scattered around the globe to investors in all corners. Everybody, everywhere owned just a little bit of everyone else's little debts. No problem, until a bunch of those (ahem, AAA-rated) debts start to go bad. In the thunderclap that followed this meltdown, the economy of trust was broken. Banks slammed the doors of trust shut in late August 2007 and have barely cracked them back open. Now ten years removed from 9/11 and the beginnings of a war that has seen the sacrifices of a volunteer armed forces, we live in a society that suffers from disaster-fatigue, where meltdowns are increasingly common and increasingly expected. What's the next order of magnitude to steal away the headlines? Just when you think you have seen it all, something new happens. And the backdrop for this is an ever-more-toxic political climate, where civil discord is a relic of the past.
Why this matters: Sellers more often than not bought in a feel-good era. Buyers today are buying in a feel-worse era. When sellers bought, their motivations were very different than today's buyers. More likely, the reasons to not buy were not nearly as pronounced as they are today. This makes a seller's job of marketing their property to a cynical, distrustful audience extremely difficult. This makes buyers more resistant to making decisions that are based on feeling good. People make real estate decisions electively for one of two reasons: pleasure or pain. It is easier now to market with language like: "pain-free", "move-in ready", "all-set"; rather than "luxurious", "masterpiece", "incredible views". The first set of phrases use language that dominates the mind of the buyer: pain; inconvenience; problems; doubt; it then overcomes these fears and pains. A seller must speak the day-to-day language of the buyer in order to demonstrate value in today's market.
This is all talk about the emotional climate of real estate and the difficulty of gauging cause and effect in today's economy. The day after the S&P downgrade that basically discounted America's ability to repay it's debt, what happened? Wall Street went into shock, losing more than 5% and treasuries – the repayment of which was the very thing S&P was calling into question – saw a surge of money, propelling 30 year mortgage rates down. In the midst of all this chaos, the real estate side of the ledger improved yet again.
Year to date, Colorado Springs Real Estate is having a decent year that no one seems to know about. It is all relative and all compared to the last several years which have not been the rosiest of real estate sales years. This year, there will be about as many sales as 2008, more than 2010, slightly fewer than 2009. But what is most intriguing is that the number of listed properties, while still high based on the last ten years of inventory, is lower than at anytime since 2005. For six consecutive months, inventory has been at 6.1 months or less, a stable balance between supply and demand. Because there are fewer homes for sale and slightly higher demand than this time last year, the earlier drops in average sale price will probably balance out as the year finishes because buyers that are buying are less likely to see new listings come on the market and are more likely to try and make a deal with what is out there now, thus stretching slightly upward in price.
The best advice we can give: if you're participating in a real estate decision for long-term reasons, ignore the toxicity of the present.

VIDEO: Larry Sanders might need more quality minutes for more quality work
MILWAUKEE – It is pro sports' chicken-or-egg quandary, setting up an eternal conflict between coaches and athletes: Does a player play more when he plays better, or does the player play better when he plays more?
Milwaukee center Larry Sanders is solidly in the camp of the latter. Bucks coach Larry Drew? Leaning more toward the former right now.
Sanders – the 6-foot-11 defensive savant whose breakthrough 2012-13 season included strong support for the Defensive Player (seventh) and Most Improved (third) awards, as well as a four-year, $44 million extension over the summer – is one frustrated shot-swatter and rebounder at the moment.
Through Milwaukee's first three games, his production is down significantly: 2.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 17.3 minutes, compared to last season's 9.8, 9.5, 2.8 and 27.3. After taking an average of 8.5 shots and making about half (50.6) in 2012-13, he has shot 4-for-16 so far, in a mixed bag of jump hooks, short jumpers and layups.
Sanders has been the opposite of smooth, offensively, looking at times like he's wrestling a lawn chair. And in his view, he hasn't broken enough of a sweat to do much better. He played 21:37 in the Bucks' 97-90 loss to Toronto Saturday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, contributing four points, four boards and one block.
"I feel like I'm capable of being in the game at the end and helping my team win, coming up with blocks and rebounds," Sanders told NBA.com before exiting the locker room swiftly. "I haven't been able to get my rhythm out there. I understand foul trouble situations, but tonight I wasn't in foul trouble.
"Last year I finished so many games. I feel like that's when I lock in the most. But I haven't been able to get in the game to finish. That carries over to the next game. When you sit the last three quarters of each game, I can't have no carryover. And it's hard for me. I'm still a young player. It's only my eighth year playing basketball."
Sanders, 24, has played only 15 of his 52 minutes so far in the second half. He logged 3:12 at New York Wednesday, 5:34 at Boston Friday and 6:18 against the Raptors after the break. But then, the Bucks outscored the Knicks 52-34 after halftime and the Celtics 58-35. They had a 39-34 edge on the Raptors through 18 minutes of the second half Saturday before slipping back to lose the game by seven (and the half, 46-44).
Drew's lineup in the fourth quarter Saturday primarly was O.J. Mayo and rookie point Nate Wolters in the backcourt, Khris Middleton, John Henson and 18-year-old project Giannis Antetokounmpo up front. That group, over the first 6:07 of the quarter, erased Toronto's 12-point lead, getting the Bucks even at 85-85.
Drew subbed in Caron Butler for Middleton, who had missed a pair of free throws and a couple layups, over the final 3:04. Milwaukee got no closer than three.
"Throughout the game," Drew said, "I just didn't feel like we put a burst together, where we were really moving and flying around. So I elected to go smaller in the fourth quarter, move Khris to the four and Giannis to the three, and it got us going. At that point, I was really going to ride that group."
Said Sanders: "That makes sense. But it's not that group – Caron goes in. It's about trust. Who you trust down the stretch, that's who you're going to play."
If this is a trust issue, it may well be a temporary, evolving one. Drew has on his hands a roster that's not just new to him but new to each other. He's searching for combinations, with even his starting lineup fluid for now. His top two point-guard options – Brandon Knight (right hamstring strain) and Luke Ridnour (back spasms) – have been out, which messes with everyone's rhythm.
Also, Drew has Zaza Pachulia as an option at center, a familiar face from the coach's three seasons in Atlanta. Pachulia has averaged 13.0 points, 7.7 rebounds and 26.0 minutes – though it's a small sample size and the burly veteran didn't play in the fourth quarter Saturday, either.
Drew suggested some of Sanders' struggle on offense and frustration overall stems from adjusting to his third coach (after Scott Skiles and interim Jim Boylan) in 10 months. "It's him still trying to learn this system and trying to learn his teammates," Drew said. "He had some point-blank shots right around the basket – he just couldn't get 'em to drop.
"I thought that Larry played with some energy though. That's the thing that, in my conversations with him, I want him to bring on a nightly basis. The other stuff will fall into place."
Henson – the second-year forward who has had to scrape for his own minutes amid the newness, despite his strong summer in Las Vegas – said he has tried to calm Sanders, whose emotions sometimes outstrip his maturity.
"I talk to Larry, because he's one of my best friends on the team," Henson said late Saturday. "I told him, 'You're going to close 90 percent of our games.' He's just frustrated right now."
Henson thinks Sanders might be pressing to show the world he's worth the fat contract extension he received in the offseason. Sanders doesn't feel that way, though. And Drew said, even if he did, he shouldn't.
"Yeah, I've had that conversation," the coach said. "There's no need to press now. He's in a good position. I know a lot of guys who get in that position of not knowing what their future holds, they do have a tendency to press. But for him, nah, there's no need to press. Just go out there and play."
And there's the rub. Sanders puts the emphasis in that sentence on "go out there." Drew, at the moment, is focused on the "play."
This isn't so much Larry vs. Larry as it is one Larry seeing things differently from the other Larry while serving separate agendas. One man's chicken to the other man's egg, with 79 games to go.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 16, 2011) - Last March TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) sent Lady Buccaneer fans into a frenzy when her running off-balance floater put ETSU in the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season as the Blue and Gold defeated North Florida, 63-62, in the Atlantic Sun Championship. On Monday night, the teams will square off for the first time since the questionable play as the Lady Bucs and Ospreys square off inside UNF Arena at 7 p.m.
ETSU (8-8, 5-2) is coming off a 69-62 victory over Jacksonville Saturday afternoon where senior captain Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) scored a career-high 28 points on 16-of-18 shooting at the free throw line. Despite enduring a pair of seven-plus minute droughts without a field goal, ETSU was still able to overcome its shooting woes as the Lady Bucs knocked down 25 of their 30 free throw attempts en route to capturing the seven-point road victory.
After dropping four straight conference games to start the season, UNF (4-11, 2-4) is riding high after defeating USC Upstate 91-73 Saturday evening on its home floor. The victory was the second straight for the Ospreys, while the 91 points marked a season best.
UNF is led by junior guard Brittany Kirkland, who is averaging 15.0 points per game, placing her fifth in scoring among conference players this season. Kirkland, who joined the 1,000 point club following her 20-point effort against the Spartans, is the lone Osprey to average double figures in scoring. Taylor Smith, a 6-foot sophomore guard, is second on the team at 8.5 points per contest.
Monday's game pins two teams with contrasting styles as the Lady Bucs rank third in the A-Sun in scoring (70.1), while UNF ranks last in the league at 54.7 points per game. However, the roles are reversed when it comes to scoring defense as the Ospreys rank third (66.1) and the Lady Bucs are tenth (75.4) in the statistical category.
The Lady Bucs have won nine of the ten meetings in the series, with the lone defeat being an 80-73 setback in Jacksonville back on Jan. 31, 2009. Despite ETSU holding a strong hold on the series, three of the four games played at UNF have been decided by ten points or less.
Fans unable to make the trip to Jacksonville can listen to all the action live as Voice of the Bucs Jay Sandos will carry the play-by-play on WXSM-AM 640 The Sports Monster. Also, live video streaming will be available on A-Sun.TV.

During working on the new features for transposh, we have stumbled upon an issue which we could fix. The issue was that many bots scanning this site scanned pages with the parameter "replytocom" which is quite useless. Apparently – this useless parameter has caused over 2GB of traffic for this site in the last 9 months.
We have taken the liberty to extract a few lines of code and create a plugin which fixes this. Now available at the wordpress plugin directory.
A small rant about the wordpress site, since the voting for plugins is anonymous, the plugin was voted down by someone, which we have no way to know who he (or she) is. Not with any reasons we can think of (After all, free plugin, to fix a specific problem, with no intentions, which just works). If we'll put our hands on him…. 🙂

A fumble from Leicester goalkeeper Chris Weale handed Nottingham Forest a vital 3-2 win which keeps alive their dreams of promotion to the Premier League.
Weale let Paul McKenna's weak shot squirm through his hands six minutes from time to gift Forest the victory
Billy Davies' side were second best for large periods in a scruffy game.
After a high-octane start which saw two goals in the space of five first-half minutes from Marcus Tudgay and Matt Oakley, the match appeared to be petering out as players wilted in the spring sunshine.
Robert Earnshaw then pounced to put the hosts back in front with less than 20 minutes left, only for substitute Darius Vassell to level 60 seconds later for Sven-Goran Eriksson's men.
Both sides were guilty of surrendering possession cheaply and a draw looked likely until skipper McKenna was handed the winner to give Forest just a second win in 12 games.
Lewis McGugan hammered a half-volley over the top from Tudgay's chest down before the pair combined for the 15th-minute opener.
McGugan drove in a powerful cross from the right flank and after Tudgay had found a yard of space in the area the former Sheffield Wednesday man steered in a brilliant header to beat Weale.
The goal had been coming but Davies saw his side surrender a deserved lead within five minutes.
Guy Moussi was stripped of possession in midfield and Richie Wellens found Kyle Naughton in space on the right.
His cross was helped across goal by Paul Gallagher and while Moussi hooked the ball clear, Oakley was on hand to rifle in a 25-yard strike which Lee Camp could only touch onto the post and into the back of the net.
It was a full-blooded strike from the veteran midfielder but Camp will feel he should have kept it out.
The sides went in level to the annoyance of the home support behind Davies, while Oakley lasted just five minutes of the second half before he was replaced by Yuki Abe.
The second 45 minutes was struggling to provide a spectacle and Davies responded by readying strikers Kris Boyd and Robbie Findley.
The duo were stood in the technical area ready to come on when Earnshaw struck in the 73rd minute.
Again the dangerous McGugan was involved, twisting away from a challenge to send in a powerful strike from the edge of the box.
Weale failed to hang on to the shot and Earnshaw reacted quickest to slam home.
Again though the hosts failed to hang on and conceded just a minute later with a similar goal.
Naughton was not picked up from a free-kick and fired in a low cross-shot from the right which Camp tipped out and Vassell buried in the roof of the net.
Boyd and Findley were then introduced before McKenna's 84th-minute winner.
Boyd won a challenge but there appeared little danger as the midfielder shinned his 20-yard volley straight at Weale.
However the goalkeeper had a nightmare as he attempted to gather the ball and saw it slip through his grasp and into the net.

Cadet accused of inappropriate touching
New London — During a hearing Wednesday at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, two accounts were given of events last Sept. 15.
In one version, a cadet, later identified as First Class Cadet Alexander Stevens, entered a female cadet's room, climbed on a chair to reach the loft-style bed, put his hand under the blanket and began to touch the woman on the inner thigh, stopping only when she awoke, yelled and startled him, prompting him to leave the room.
In another version, Stevens admitted to being drunk and mistakenly entering a room that he thought belonged to his girlfriend.
Investigating officer Lt. Cmdr. Cassie Kitchen must sift through testimony and exhibits and make a recommendation as to Stevens' fate. She could recommend that the offenses be dismissed, dealt with administratively or referred for trial by court-martial. Rear Adm. Sandra Stosz, superintendent of the academy, will get the recommendation and make the final decision.
No verdict or sentencing was handed down Wednesday. It could be weeks before a recommendation is made.
Stevens is accused of violating articles 120, 130 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military's criminal code, which prohibits abusive sexual contact, housebreaking and unlawful entry.
Kitchen said she is also considering an additional violation of Article 134 — disorderly conduct for drunkenness — after hearing testimony from Eric Gempp, a special agent in the Coast Guard Investigative Services, who said Stevens admitted drinking at three bars in New London and getting drunk on the day before the incident.
The alleged victim, a third-class cadet, was the first to take the witness stand Wednesday.
On the night in question, she said, she heard her door open and thought it was her roommate coming in, but then her bed started to shake and someone began fumbling with her blanket.
The counsel for the government, Lt. Tyler McGill, asked the cadet to demonstrate how she had been touched. She raised her hand and twisted it in a slight upward motion to demonstrate.
"I saw a silhouette of a man and kicked my legs and screamed," she testified. "I asked, 'Who are you?'"
She said he immediately fled the room. The cadet said she gave chase, but he was already gone.
The cadet said she was shaking and crying when she encountered a friend in the hallway. She decided to report the incident.
At some point, while still in the hallway with her superior, she said, she saw someone who resembled the suspect. He was identified as Stevens.
She said Stevens was not a friend, and he had no permission to enter her room.
Counsel for the defense Lt. John Cole asked her whether it really was possible to identify Stevens, because it was dark. She maintained that she could make out Stevens' silhouette.
Cole asked the cadet what she thought should happen to Stevens.
"I think he should be kicked out of the Coast Guard," she said. "I think he should be a registered sex offender, and I think he should go to jail."
She said that after the incident her grades suffered, she was afraid to stay alone in the barracks, and it was difficult for her to concentrate.
Gempp said Stevens had given a voluntary statement Sept. 23, admitting he had been drinking at three New London bars that day. Stevens said he returned to the academy with his girlfriend, Second Class Cadet Claire Buss, around midnight. The two argued and walked back separately.
Gempp said Stevens admitted being drunk and entering the room thinking it was Buss' room, but said he left quickly when he realized he had the wrong room.
Buss also testified. She said she and Stevens had started to get serious last April, and he had visited her room at least once a day. She said he sometimes would climb onto her desk chair to reach her bunk and wake her up.
During the fall semester, Buss said, she had moved into another room, one with a single bed and desk. Buss also said she, too, had heard of cadets entering the wrong room.
Two more witnesses testified, with one saying Stevens denied that he had been wandering the hallways. Both said they didn't report the incident to the company commander immediately because they initially felt that someone had mistakenly entered the wrong room.
The final witness at the hearing was Chief Robert Cain, who said Stevens told him on Sept. 16 that he had accidentally entered the wrong room and had startled the cadet inside. Cain said Stevens told him that he felt bad for frightening the woman.
Stevens opted not to make a statement during the hearing.
During its closing, the government — represented by McGill and Lt. Cmdr. Bryan Pape — said the seriousness of the charges warranted a court-martial.
McGill said Stevens had been on a mission for sexual gratification and had taken advantage of a classmate who was below his rank. He said the room Stevens entered was about 300 feet from his girlfriend's room.
But Cole countered that the government had not proven sexual intent. He said Stevens had made a "mental mistake" because he was drunk. The act of touching the cadet on the leg, he said, should not warrant a court-martial, which could lead to prison. Instead, Cole suggested that an administrative punishment, which could lead to expulsion, was more suitable.
The only cadet ever court-martialed at the Coast Guard Academy was tried on sexual assault charges in 2006. Webster M. Smith was convicted on extortion, sodomy and indecent-assault charges and was acquitted of rape.

Co-ops send 4-H kids to "Run With the Pack" Sept. 17
North Carolina's Touchstone Energy cooperatives are giving 4-H kids a chance to "Run With the Pack" at an N.C. State football game.
Twelve 4-H youth are expected to take the field with Wolfpack mascots Mr. and Mrs. Wuf at the opening of the Sept. 17 game against South Alabama. North Carolina's Touchstone Energy cooperatives will sponsor the game on Military Appreciation Day and provide tickets to the kids and their families.
The cooperatives worked with the 4-H program "North Carolina: Operation Military Kids" to select the lucky runners, who are active in 4-H and have at least one parent in the U.S. military. The game will take place just days after the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Lightning strikes left thousands facing travel problems on one of the busiest days of the year tonight.
Sudden storms hit the great summer holiday getaway with rail passengers encountering delays and cancellations on busy commuter routes.
Services between London Paddington and Reading, Swindon, Bristol and South Wales were "severely disrupted" due to signalling problems in the Twyford area between Reading and Maidenhead caused by an earlier lightning strike.
Operator First Great Western said it was introducing a reduced timetable for customers travelling to and from Paddington.
Similar problems caused "major disruption" to all routes across the South West Trains network, with services between London Waterloo and Surrey and Exeter affected.
SW Trains said it was necessary to "significantly reduce" services after a lightning strike in the Surbiton area and signalling problems at Waterloo.
Commuters at Paddington and Waterloo posted pictures on Twitter showing the stations looking extremely congested.
Myles Dyer wrote: "I must admit, I hadn't planned spending Friday night in London Paddington station. All trains delayed or cancelled!"
Andy Burne tweeted: "Absolutely chaos at Waterloo station, trains cancelled, station full of sweaty people."
SW Trains apologised for the problems. A statement on the firm's website said: "An incident at Waterloo resulted in a temporary failure of the signalling equipment, which initially affected Platforms 1 - 7 and then narrowed down to Platforms 1 - 4.
"This was rectified however we then experienced a lightning strike which resulted in the loss of all signalling between Surbiton & Woking.
"Once the lines re-opened, it was unfortunately necessary to significantly reduce the number of trains on our network.
"Our busy rail network into London Waterloo is dependent on using the lines through Woking & Surbiton and the closure of the line, coupled with trains, guards and drivers being out of position, has resulted in disruption for the majority of the day.
"We would like to thank our passengers for their patience and understanding today. We will continue to work through the night to ensure that trains and train crew are in the correct positions to enable us to operate our full timetable from the start of service on Saturday."
On one of the busiest travelling days of the year, there were other problems on the railways.
An electrical supply problem meant delays to trains between Pitsea and Shoeburyness in Essex, while a person being hit by a train led to delays to services between King's Cross station in London and Stevenage in Hertfordshire.
In East Anglia a broken-down train led to hold-ups between Felixstowe/Lowestoft and Ipswich.
There were also problems on the Tube tonight, with severe delays on the Victoria Line because of a signal failure at Walthamstow Central, east London.
The difficulties came after Network Rail warned of future disruption on the London to Scotland West Coast main line.
Due to vital work being carried out at Watford, the West Coast line will be closed between Saturday August 9 and Monday August 11, Saturday August 16 and Monday August 18 and Saturday August 23 and bank holiday Monday August 25.
Network Rail said the closures will affect passengers from across parts of Scotland, the West Midlands and the North West who plan to travel to London along the West Coast line. London Midland passengers will also be affected.
On the roads there were holds-ups on the M18 in East Yorkshire due to an accident involving two lorries. There were also jams on a number of other major routes including the M25, the M5, the M6 and the M11.
Meanwhile an easyJet plane carrying 154 passengers from Bristol to Barcelona had to divert to Reus airport in Spain after being hit by lightning on its descent.
The aircraft landed safely and the passengers were taken on to Barcelona.
Darren Williams, a student, posted the message: "Just flew through a monster storm, plane hit by lightning and we were diverted to Reus Airport.
"Worst flight I've ever been on...Currently sat on the plane waiting to see what's happening next."
An easyJet spokesman said: "The aircraft is equipped to safely withstand lightning and at no point was the safety of the flight, passengers or crew onboard compromised.
"Passengers disembarked as normal and will continue their onward journey to Barcelona by road. We apologise for any inconvenience experienced. A full inspection of the aircraft has been scheduled."
Today and tomorrow and the subsequent Saturdays in August are expected to the busiest days of the summer on the roads.
The first of an estimated two million Britons who are flying abroad over the weekend headed off today.
Spain is the number one destination for those hitting continental hotspots, according to travel organisation Abta.
Bookings to Greece and Turkey have also been going well, while for those travelling further afield Dubai, Mexico and Florida are among the most popular destinations.
The recent hot weather has also boosted the numbers taking last-minute trips in the UK, while short-haul favourites include Barcelona, Amsterdam, Rome and Paris.
In south-east England, around 450,000 passengers will be departing from Heathrow this weekend, 295,000 from Gatwick, 140,000 from Stansted and 79,000 from Luton.
More than 100,000 will be leaving from Scottish airports, with 50,000 from Glasgow alone, while 162,000 are due to depart from Manchester, 70,000 from Birmingham, 45,000 from Bristol and 37,000 from East Midlands airport.
Other regional airports, ports and the Channel Tunnel will also be extremely busy over the weekend with hundreds of thousands of people leaving the country.
A total of 67,000 holidaymakers will be heading off to Paris and the south of France on Channel Tunnel high-speed Eurostar trains over the weekend.

A Leavenworth woman has pleaded guilty to multiple counts of drug possession and endangering a child, a prosecution official said.
A Leavenworth woman has pleaded guilty to multiple counts of drug possession and endangering a child, a prosecution official said.
Leah Anne Argersinger, 27 pleaded guilty Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court to possession with intent to distribute hydrocodone, possession with the intent to distribute oxycodone, possession with the intent to distribute marijuana and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. She also pleaded guilty to aggravated child endangerment, County Attorney Todd Thompson said.
The judge ordered sentencing for Sept. 10.
On May 15, 2013, the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant for a firearm at a residence located on Fifth Avenue in Leavenworth. In the residence, deputies found Robert Jefferson III, Argersinger and a boy. The 2-year-old boy was determined to be the son of Argersinger.
During the search for the firearm, a green leafy vegetation believed to be marijuana was found. The search stopped and a second search warrant was obtained, Thompson said.
The search of the residence began again once the second warrant was signed. Inside of the residence, officers found more than $13,000 in cash, roughly 10.5 pounds of what was believed to be marijuana packaged for sales, a large variety of pills and a crystalline substance believed to be methamphetamine. Officers also found scales, multiple boxes of baggies and a food saver vacuum sealing system used for the packaging of products. No drug tax stamp was found.
Items were sent to a Kansas Bureau of Investigation lab for testing. The lab concluded there were 139 oxycodone pills, 40 hydrocodone pills, 0.20 grams of methamphetamine and 5,232 grams of marijuana., Thompson said.
The residence was about 300 feet from the Nettie Hartnett school building.
Argersinger reportedly acknowledged her part in the distribution of drugs while interviewed by law enforcement officers.
Argersinger was formally charged in October 2014. She posted a $25,000 bond. While free on bond, another search warrant was served at her residence.
The warrant was executed Nov. 22, 2013, at a residence on 10th Street in Leavenworth. A substance believed to be methamphetamine was found in a toy police car despite Argersinger's reported attempts to hide the toy car, Thompson said.
Her son lived in the residence with her and her boyfriend, Robert Jefferson III.
Again, scales, baggies and a food saver vacuum sealing system were taken among other paraphernalia items. No drug tax stamp was located.
The suspected methamphetamine was sent to the KBI for testing. It was determined to be methamphetamine, weighing approximately 12.15 grams.
Jefferson previously pleaded guilty to possession with the intent distribute oxycodone within a 1,000 feet of a school, possession to distribute methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, aggravated endangering a child and no drug tax stamp. He is serving 18.5 years for these crimes, Thompson said.

What should Mike Bobo focus on the offense doing this Saturday? I'll give you two hints: Georgia's situational passing stats and South Carolina's situational defensive passing stats.
If your answer is anything other than throw the ball on first down, go back and study the stats some more.
By the way, check out Georgia's stats on throwing the ball inside its own 20-yard line and ask yourself if maybe Bobo should have adjusted his playcalling a little more during that second quarter meltdown against UT.

Lawsuit seeks to end NCAA's 'unlawful cartel'
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A new federal lawsuit claims the National Collegiate Athletic Association should allow college football and basketball players to get some of the money they make for their schools.
The suit filed Monday in Newark comes on the eve of the NCAA men's Division I basketball tournament, its most prominent showcase.
The lawsuit calls the NCAA an "unlawful cartel" that makes billions of dollars from exploiting football and men's basketball players by limiting their compensation to scholarships.
Through a spokeswoman, the NCAA declined to comment.
Among the plaintiffs are Rutgers basketball player Jonathan Moore and Clemson defensive back Martin Jenkins. The lawsuit also names as defendants the Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-12, Big Ten and Big 12.
The suit seeks monetary damages and a declaration that the NCAA's practices violate antitrust laws.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and its five dominant conferences are an "unlawful cartel" that has illegally restricted the earning power of football and men's basketball players while making billions off their labor, according to a federal lawsuit filed Monday that seeks to paint big-time college athletics as being in blatant violation of antitrust laws.
The suit comes on the eve of the NCAA men's Division I basketball tournament, college sports' most prominent showcase. In addition to the NCAA, the lawsuit targets the Southeastern Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference, Pac-12, Big Ten and Big 12, and seeks monetary damages as well as a declaration that the defendants' practices violate federal antitrust laws.
"As a result of these illegal restrictions, market forces have been shoved aside and substantial damages have been inflicted upon a host of college athletes whose services have yielded riches only for others," according to the court filing. "This class action is necessary to end the NCAA's unlawful cartel, which is inconsistent with the most fundamental principles of antitrust law."
The suit seeks triple damages for the four plaintiffs — Rutgers basketball player Jonathan Moore, Clemson football player Martin Jenkins, Texas-El Paso football player Kevin Perry and California football player William Tyndall — based on the economic harm they say they suffered. The court filing estimated that, for instance, Clemson's athletic department "generated more than $70 million in revenue, the vast majority of which came from football" in 2012 when Jenkins was playing.
It also seeks an injunction to stop the NCAA from prohibiting any of its member institutions from negotiating to give or providing compensation to football and basketball players and rejected the argument that the current rules ensure competitive balance.
"Defendants' price-fixing agreement and group boycott is a naked restraint of trade without any pro-competitive purpose or effect," the suit said.
An NCAA spokeswoman didn't immediately comment on the lawsuit.
Other athletes have challenged the NCAA's rules governing compensation for student-athletes. Former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon has led a long-running legal battle against the NCAA over, among other things, the unauthorized use of college athletes' likenesses in video games. Video-game maker Electronic Arts and the Collegiate Licensing Company reached a settlement with the plaintiffs last fall, but the case against the NCAA is scheduled to go to trial barring a settlement.
This month, former West Virginia football player Shawne Alston filed a suit against the NCAA and the five major conferences making similar claims to those contained in Monday's filing.
And Northwestern University football players are trying to form what would be the first college athletes' union in U.S. history. Attorneys have said the regimented structure of football at the school essentially makes it a business, and the relationship between the school and the players is that of an employer to employees.
Monday's filing cited past legal actions in which it says the NCAA has been found to have committed antitrust violations, including lawsuits involving the limiting of football television broadcasts in the 1980s and the capping of part-time coaches' salaries in the 1990s. It also referred to a lawsuit that charged the NCAA with engaging in anticompetitive behavior against the competing National Invitation Tournament, which resulted in the NCAA's paying a settlement to the plaintiff schools.
