(NewsTarget) Former Lockheed Martin project manager and engineer Michael DeKort has stirred up a hornets' nest with his 10-minute video on YouTube.com. During the video, he charges his former company of shoddy workmanship on security upgrades for Coast Guard vessels. "What I am going to tell you is...
31.Aug.2006 Buchanan: ‘The Country I Grew Up In’ Was ‘89 or 90 % White. I Like That Country’ - Judd - Pat Buchanan has been a constant presence on cable TV since the release of his book, State of Emergency. Last night on Hannity and Colmes, Buchanan explained that he’s motivated by his desire to keep the country overwhelmingly white. Buchanan told Alan Colmes: “What I would like is — I’d like the country I grew up in. It was a good country. I lived in Washington, D.C., 400,000 black folks, 400,000 white folks, in a country 89 or 90 % white. I like that country.” Watch it: In his book, Buchanan supports the idea that whites are genetically superior to minorities. Digg It! Transcript: COLMES: Would you prefer only white immigrants? BUCHANAN: No. What I would like is — I’d like the country I grew up in. It was a good country. I lived in Washington, D.C., 400,000 black folks, 400,000 white folks, in a country 89 or 90 % white. I like that country. We didn’t vote to change it. 00.000.1965, in the Immigration Act, Teddy Kennedy said we’re going to maintain immigration at about present levels and numbers + we will not consciously alter the character… (CROSSTALK) COLMES: All right, but are you saying we should work to keep an 89 % white country? Is that what you believe we should do? BUCHANAN: No, no. What I believe is that people should not deliberately alter the character and composition of the country without consulting the American people. If you adopt two children, Alan, you’re going to go in and you’re going to decide who comes. Who should decide who comes and who doesn’t? First, illegals should not come. Secondarily, the American people should be consulted how many immigrants come, what are the criteria. And we haven’t been consulted. COLMES: But it sounds like what you’re saying, though, that we should keep the status as it was back then, with the certain %ages of different ethnic groups, meaning 89 % white, not changing that to any great extent. Is that pretty much what you’re saying? BUCHANAN: That is what — 1964, John F. Kennedy’s book was reprinted. You know what he said? He said we should change — no higher immigration + what we should do is — the quotas given to Germans + Irish + English + others that are not used should be given to folks from Eastern Europe and Southern Europe. That’s what Kennedy said. I would go along with that. I supported that in a book.
31.Aug.2006 Five days before Labor Day, - Nico - President Bush has announced he will recess appoint Paul DeCamp — a corporate lawyer who represented Wal-Mart and built a career fighting against unions — as head of the U.S. Labor Department’s Wage + Hour Division, which oversees “the nation’s wage and hour laws, including overtime laws, workplace discrimination laws + child labor laws.” More at AFL-CIO Now.
31.Aug.2006 Mehlman Falsely Claims Rep. Shays (R-CT) Doesn’t Support Military Timeline For Iraq - Nico - Last night on MSNBC’s Hardball, former Rove deputy Ken Mehlman said that people who want a timeline for Iraq redeployment “are going to give the terrorists a big victory.” Mehlman was asked if his rhetoric applied to fellow conservative Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT), who recently announced his support for his timeline. Mehlman said he “saw him interviewed on this show, Chris Shays + he, in fact, said something very different…he did not say there ought to be a military timeline.” Mehlman is in denial. When Shays was on Hardball on Monday, he clearly called for a “timeline on how long our troops will be there.” Watch both clips back to back: Transcript: O’DONNELL: As this new rhetoric has emerged, though, it also comes at a time when there are some moderate Republican candidates who are actually — have similar messages to the Democrats or who are at least pulling away from President Bush. You have Congressman Chris Shays, the Republican from out of Connecticut — 14th visit to Iraq, just came back. He’s was one of the most stalwart supporters of the president on this war. Came back and said it is now time for a timetable. MEHLMAN: Well, I saw Chris–I saw him interviewed on this show, Chris Shays + he, in fact, said something very different than what the Democrats say. What he has said is we need to make sure that there are benchmarks established for the Iraqi people to stand up. O’DONNELL: He said a timeline. MEHLMAN: Well, but he did not say there ought to be a military timeline. There is a very big difference. +++++ SHAYS: I’m calling for a timetable on three things. One, that they set provisional elections, that they have reconciliation and a timeline to do it, a timeline for finishing the constitution and give them the timeline on how long our troops will be there, doing the police work that ultimately we want them to do. +++++ SHAYS: I think the way to get the Iraqis to wake up, to do the heavy lifting, is to let them know that we are not there indefinitely , that there’s not an open checkbook, that we’re not going take sustained losses indefinitely.
31.Aug.2006 The Security Council voted today - Amanda - to create a U.N. peacekeeping force in Darfur, despite opposition from the Khartoum government. The force — which wouldn’t be deployed until Sudan agrees — would “replace or absorb an African Union force in Darfur, which has only enough money to exist until its mandate expires on September 30 and has been unable to end the humanitarian crisis.”
31.Aug.2006 Former Administration Mouthpiece Falsely Claims Progressives Want Withdrawal From Afghanistan - Think Progress - Yesterday on The O’Reilly Factor, former administration official Dan Senor told guest host John Kasich that “many leftist centered activists, political activists” — such as MoveOn.org — believe “we would be better off” if the United States withdrew from Afghanistan. But when pressed by Kasich, Senor couldn’t name any progressives who have advocated pulling out from Afghanistan + admitted that MoveOn.org has called for withdrawal from Iraq, not Afghanistan. Watch it: Full transcript below: KASICH: I don’t know anybody that doesn’t recognize that the war in Afghanistan has to be won, that al Qaeda’s got to be snuffed out, that extremists have to be dealt with. Who’s he talking about here? SENOR: He’s talking about people who believe that we would be better off John if we withdrew from our military engagements, whether they’re in Iraq, whether they’re in Afghanistan, whether it’s a strong posture, vis-a-vie Hezbollah. KASICH: Who’s saying we ought to withdraw from Afghanistan? I haven’t heard anybody say that. SENOR: There are people — there are many leftist centered activists, political activists. KASICH: Who? Name me one. SENOR: Moveon.org has talked about that we should be scaling back our resources in places, our military engagements. They haven’t been specific about Afghanistan but they’ve been specific about Iraq. KASICH: That’s a riff.

31.Aug.2006Sen. Allen: People Don’t ‘Actually Care’ About ‘Macaca,’ It’s ‘Only The Media’ - Judd - At an August 11 event, Sen. George Allen (R-VA) ridiculed a South Asian-American man who worked for his political opponent. In front of a large audience, Allen called S.R. Sidarth “macaca” (a racial slur) + said to Sidarth, who was born and raised in Virginia, “Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia!” First, Allen’s campaign manager referred “to the ‘macaca’ story with a barnyard epithet and insist that the senator had nothing to apologize for.” Then, as criticism mounted, Allen apologized. But yesterday on Fox, Allen said that Virginians don’t “actually care” that he made the remarks and it’s “only the media” who thinks it’s an issue. Watch it ! Actually, according to a poll taken after Allen finally apologized, 67% of Virginians found Allen’s remarks “inappropriate” and a majority believe “he needs to say more” about the incident. Digg It! Transcript: CAVUTO: And I’m wondering — and I know you have addressed this — if it goes back to your offensive comments to an opponent’s campaign worker that were deemed racist. Is — is that why you’re dropping? Is it a concern? ALLEN: Oh, heck, I have been behind in polls. I was running for governor. I was 31 % behind. What matters to the people of Virginia is a record of performance, knowing Virginia + somebody who’s going to lead with the values that are shared by Virginians, as well as their vision. And, for the last 20 years, I have been working for Virginians, making our commonwealth a — a safer and more prosperous place for people to live, learn, work + to raise their families. That remark I made was a mistake. I have apologized for it. But people care — only the media asks about it. The people care about high gas prices. They care about security, winning this war on terrorism, making sure that smaller businesses have access to more affordable health plans… CAVUTO: OK. ALLEN: .. and also improving education for all Americans. CAVUTO: All right. ALLEN: That’s what people actually care about. CAVUTO: OK. Well, I was forced to address it. It — it’s out there. OK, Senator, good seeing you, as always — Senator George Allen. ALLEN: Good being with you, Neil.

31.Aug.2006Pentagon University Elects First Openly Gay Student President - Nico - For the first time, a Defense Department university has elected an openly gay student council president. The student body of Uniformed Services University (USU), which includes uniformed personnel in the armed forces, this week voted for Patrick High to represent graduate students at the school. High served nine years in the Illinois Army National Guard and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at USU. His election “is just the latest in a series of signs that those serving in our armed forces are ready to welcome openly gay colleagues,” said C. Dixon Osburn, executive director of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. Some other recent signs of progress: – “Earlier this summer, a West Point graduate received a prestigious academic award for his thesis opposing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ the ban on lesbian, gay and bisexual service members.” – In May, Lieutenant General Claudia Kennedy, USA (Ret.), the first woman to achieve the rank of three-star general in the Army, called for repeal of the law, saying it is “a hollow policy that serves no useful purpose.” Still, the number of dismissals under “Don’t Ask” increased from 668 in 2004 to 742 last year, even as the U.S. Army’s personnel readiness degraded to levels not seen “since the Vietnam era.”

31.Aug.2006 Wayback Machine Safe, Settlement Disappointing - Zonk 58 - Jibbanx writes "Healthcare Advocates and the Internet Archive have finally resolved their differences, reaching an undisclosed out-of-court settlement. The suit stemmed from HA's anger over the Wayback Machine showing pages archived from their site even after they added a robots.txt file to their webserver. While the settlement is good for the Internet Archive, it's also disappointing because it would have tested HA's claims in court. As the article notes, you can't really un-ring the bell of publishing something online, which is exactly what HA wanted to do. Obeying robots.txt files is voluntary, after all + if the company didn't want the information online, they shouldn't have put it there in the first place."
31.Aug.2006 The IT Strategy That Makes Google Work - Zonk 56 - savio13 writes "InfoWeek published an article on Google's IT Strategy, which can be summarized as: 'Use customized open source where possible, custom build where necessary + buy if it's not related to something that will give Google a competitive advantage.' The author interviewed several senior IT folks at Google and the article is surprisingly thorough considering how closely Google guards information about their actual IT environment." From the article: "Google managers tend to be reticent on the subject of IT strategy, they're loath to talk about specific vendors or products + they clam up when asked about their servers and data centers. But a day spent with some of the company's IT leaders reveals there's more to Google's IT operations than a search engine running on a massive server farm. Behind the seeming simplicity is a mash-up of internally developed software, made-to-order hardware, artificial intelligence, obsession with performance + an unorthodox approach to people management."
31.Aug.2006 Comcast Blocks Yet Another ISPs E-Mail - kdawson 289 - Nom du Keyboard writes, "Last week Comcast shutdown e-mail forwarding from NameZero entirely. People who have bought private domain names (i.e. yourname@yourdomain.com) and have e-mail forwarding to their current Comcast e-mail account through NameZero aren't receiving it any longer. No warnings — no e-mail. Now, again without warning, they've blocked out The Well, one of the oldest ISPs on the net. And nobody can get through to the Comcast people in charge of this to discuss the issue with them. Not the ISPs being blocked. Not the customers who pay Comcast to deliver e-mail to them. Comcast says they're protecting 10M customers from spam. I am a current Comcast broadband customer and I feel I should have the right to whitelist and receive e-mail from whomever I designate. I don't want as much protection as Comcast is giving me. Is it a basic right to be allowed to receive e-mail from whomever I desire, or does Comcast have the right to censor as they wish?" Last week Comcast was also blocking mail from alum.mit.edu. I (probably among many others) left a complaint on the phone line identified in bounce messages; the block was eventually lifted.

Palestine has been so reduced and so humiliated that it is now a country where the Occupying force can walk into a main city on nightfall, can walk down the main street of that city and kill a man and then walk away again as if that is a damn right of theirs and no one is going to blink an eye at it.

Let us leave aside those Israelis whose ideology supports the dispossession of the Palestinian people because "God chose us." Leave aside the judges who whitewash every military policy of killing and destruction. Leave aside the military commanders who knowingly jail an entire nation in pens surrounded by walls, fortified observation towers, machine guns, barbed wire and blinding projectors. Leave aside the ministers. All of these are not counted among the collaborators. These are the architects, the planners, the designers, the executioners.

Unfortunately we live in a country and a society where the dead aren't just eulogized, they're propagandized.
31.Aug.2006 https://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-do-i-need-ad-campaign-to-remind-me.html
A national ad campaign being launched on Thursday features the stories of people who remember where they were when they heard of the 2001 terrorist attacks. Hell, why stop there? Why not have ad campaigns targeted towards specific people? Judy Smith, where were you when you found out your child had leukemia? Joe Anderson, where were you when your wife was killed by a drunk driver? Let's have ad campaigns to remind all of us all the time about every single loved one who died tragically. And not a campaign to remind you of the loved one and how great they were - oh no - a campaign to remind you of the horrible moment of their horrible death. It's like memorializing your dead mother each year not by recollecting about how she used to bake those wonderful ginger cookies, but rather, making an annual ritual out of talking about how every bone in her body was smashed by a semi-truck. What a great way to remember mom.
What the hell is our obsession with remembering September 11? We remember it, ok. I don't need a TV commercial to remind me of that day or how I felt. I was there. It took me a long time to get over it. And I most certainly don't need my politicians, or anyone else, trying to drag me back to that day kicking and screaming several times a year as if I don't remember it + as if it's somehow healthy to keep bringing it up.

31.Aug.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ The plaintiffs lost their suit for an election contest and recount in this one congressional district. However, by bringing suit, they achieved an outcome that clearly proves the arguments expressed across the political spectrum from conservative legal scholar Bruce Fein to former Vice President Al Gore. In unambiguous terms, they and others decry the rapid descent of the United States into a state of tyranny which only affirms our long nightmare for democracy. Politicians can now manipulate, alter + nullify elections if those politicians are the Speaker of the House or capable of influencing the Speaker. Arbitrary, centralized rule starts with the control of vote counting. It is now clear who controls vote counting and it is not the citizens of the United States of America. The People’s House is now the Speaker’s House.
Speaker Dennis Hastert swore in Republican Brian Bilbray even though there were requests for a recount and numerous public protests about the legitimacy of the outcome. According to the San Diego Registrar of Voters, as of June 15th, there were in fact still 2,500 votes to be counted. Evidence reportedly captured from the Registrar’s internet site indicates that on June 13, induction day, there were 12,500 votes uncounted. The San Diego Registrar did not officially certify this election until June 30th. Even when the election was certified, nearly 50% of the votes had not been assigned to the appropriate precincts.
-->
The information on uncounted and misallocated ballots was followed by the discovery that the California Secretary of State’s office, headed by Republican Bruce McPherson, allegedly provided confirmation that Bilbray had in fact been ‘elected.’ Chamber Action (Digest) U.S. House of Representatives: Page H3798
Oath of Office--Fiftieth Congressional District of California: Representative-elect Brian P. Bilbray presented himself in the well of the House and was administered the Oath of Office by the Speaker. Earlier the Clerk of the House transmitted a facsimile copy of the unofficial returns of the Special Election held on June 6, 2006 from Ms. Susan Lapsley, Assistant Secretary of State for Elections, California Secretary of State Office, indicating that the Honorable Brian P. Bilbray was elected Representative in Congress for the Fiftieth Congressional District of California. (June 13, 2006) If this official did in fact provide such confirmation, a key question must be answered. On what basis was an official stamp of approval given to the election by McPherson’s office since results were not made official until June 30? Does the California Secretary of State now have the ultimate power to deem elections final, regardless of the status of those elections? To be more precise, does the Secretary of State now have the power to override citizen protests, challenges and strongly expressed concerns for purely partisan benefit? McPherson is a Republican appointed to this office by the current Governor of California.
The special election generated immediate controversy when it was discovered that election officials had taken home voting machines for overnight stays. The supposed rationale or pretense for these maneuverings was to expedite the convenient delivery of the machines to precincts on election day.
Citizens were furious for a number of reasons. To begin with, these machines have documented security problems which render them vulnerable to hacking and thereby enable the possibility that “malicious code” can be introduced to alter vote counting. In addition, the voting machines were not supervised in the homes nor were they clearly signed in and out. Remarkably, some voting machines even failed to make it from poll worker homes to the precincts on election day.
This obvious breach of security rendered the election void, it was argued. In addition, plaintiffs pointed out that the vote counting was done in secret since the computerized vote tabulation is not open to serious inspection by citizens or even election officials. The innermost workings are controlled by computer code that by agreement cannot be reviewed by election officials or citizens. Thus, the ability to view vote counting was in no way available. This is a right preferred by 92% of voters according to a new Zogby Survey.
Yesterday, attorney Lehto took an optimistic stance when he commented on the role of the public in taking back control of their elections. The shutdown of any possibility of a court based investigation of the CA50 race could not be in more stark contrast to the 92% support for election transparency in the Zogby poll. The contrast between the two sides now could not be clearer. The question of the moment is whether and to what extent the 92% can discover its own supermajority status, or to what extent they continue to be deceived, deluded and distracted by illusions of their own powerlessness. By dismissing this case, the judge leaves a legacy which sets a precedent for the surrender of responsibility for free, fair + clean elections at the state and local levels by deferring to the arbitrary decisions of any Speaker of the House of Representatives. Using the judge’s logic, even cases of verified miscounts or election fraud would have no weight once the Speaker invokes his or her customary power of induction.
Tuesday, August 29, 2006 marks the day when every county in Californian lost the certain ability to monitor and manage elections. That function has been out-sourced to Washington, DC. It provides an unfortunate example for the rest of the country regarding the true conduct of elections and election law.

Cannon here, again. Naturally, BradBlog has covered this matter like no-one else. Paul Lehto, one of this country's great crusaders for democracy, offered some commentary which deserves further exposure: Courts often try to protect their rulings on appeal, they don't want to suffer the embarrassment of a reversal. So, in the course of making a ruling they will give alternative bases for them. In this case, the court stated that in the alternative it didn't find that the contestant's statements were sufficient or on enough personal knowledge. This is not something the defendants pounded on too much, so it makes it more likely that it is the court trying to put a belt and suspenders on its central ruling to protect it on appeal.
If you reflect on the context of secret vote counting here where information has been systematically denied by Registrar Haas + specifically think about the electronic vote counting itself, it is NOT POSSIBLE for the contestants statements to be based very much or at all upon personal knowledge, given how the vote counting actually occurs with electronic voting and given that the Contestants are neither Diebold employees nor are they employees of the Registrar of Voters. Even if a real whistleblower were a key witness, that would STILL not make the contestants' statements ones made on *personal* knowledge. One could read the ruling as setting up the issue of secret vote counting for appeal, given the difficulty or impossibility of anyone having personal knowledge of facts, as opposed to "information and belief" from other sources, as the court finds lacking.
I would not read too much into the alleged insufficiency of the contestants statements, which were each many pages long. There is, however another aspect of the case which is to say that substantial information was denied to us, so on that level, there could be some insufficiency of pleading things that we still don't know about. But in that case, the Registrar of Voters should not be able to stonewall the information requests + then take advantage of that stonewalling by alleging that the contestants statements are insufficient. In part, we have a problem here of statutes passed with paper ballots in mind being applied to electronic situations.
It is also necessary, to understand the court's ruling, to read it with the briefs and requests of the defendants, which also provide the context and some of the reasons for the posture of the court's ruling. The ruling does not stand totally alone, in that regard, but must be read with the briefs of the parties and the motions of the parties in mind.
One other note, the court's statement that immediately follows this particular sentence appears not to be based on the reading of the case file or the contestants statements, but rather on a reading of some of the more limited press coverage of this issue, since for example the petition specifically alleges ballot definition error and other things that go well beyond the court's statement here: "The Contestants’ Statements and the Election Contest itself allege no more than that there was a possibility of security breaches and hacking of the voting machines used in this election. Such broad, unsubstantiated claims are not enough." There was much more than that + in this regard readers of bradblog would be seriously misled if they took this statement at face value.
Finally, we specifically RAISED the issue of the premature swearing in prior to certification in the opening paragraphs of the Petition for Election Contest, thus raising those facts as part of our contest. We asked the Court to recognize the difference between reviewing the Constitutionality of a premature exercise of an otherwise valid power (something courts often do) and not to see the issue purely as one of jurisdiction, as invited by the defendants to do. The Court, of course, chose to see it as a question of its jurisdiction.
Although we can not peer into the Court's motivations like we can the defendants thanks to their signed briefs, sometimes trial judges send things up to the appellate courts where cases of first impression like this belong, or will inevitably end up, anyway. And: Step One: Take Zogby 92% support for public involvement in vote counting and right to information on vote counting. Take also, belief in democracy and its nature as meaning all political power originates in the people.
Step Two: Take CA 50 realities of outright election termination, election nullification, denial of information regarding elections + assertions of absolute power.
Step Three: Compare and contrast above two items.
Step Four: Realize that there is now, unlike before, very clearcut and open contrasts.
Isn't this what is known as a winning political issue, in the long run?
It seems the only way to really beat the 92% is to help them continually and constantly FORGET that they are the 92%, or to get them to move away from the central core of election rights to watch, rights to know + rights to supervise elections.
Hey, in the legislative branch voting records have to be published SO THE PEOPLE CAN JUDGE their representatives.
In the judicial branch, there are juries SO THE PEOPLE CAN JUDGE guilt and innocence and liability.
In the executive branch which runs elections (concerning voting, the right that protects all other rights) the people ARE NO LONGER NEEDED????
Or, perhaps the prior paragraph is really supposed to end "there is public supervision of vote counting, SO THE PEOPLE CAN JUDGE THE FAIRNESS of elections." To this, I must add that I'm a little concerned by Lehto's comment "Isn't this what is known as a winning political issue, in the long run?" We all recall, or should recall, what John Maynard Keynes said: "In the long run, we are all dead." What is the use of a winning political issue when facing a dysfunctional political system?

31.Aug.2006 White House ‘Cuts And Runs’ on ‘Stay the Course’ - Judd - In today’s Washington Post, the White House complains that its critics use the term “stay the course” to describe President Bush’s strategy in Iraq: Many Democrats accuse the president of advocating “stay the course” in Iraq, but the White House rejects the phrase and regularly emphasizes that it is adapting tactics to changing circumstances , such as moving more U.S. troops into Baghdad recently after a previous security strategy appeared to fail. “Strategically, we are staying committed to the fact that this is an important mission and one that should be accomplished,” said a senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Democrats, this adviser said, say “we’re ‘doing the same thing over and over’ when that’s not the case.” Where did anyone get the idea that the White House supports a “stay the course” strategy? White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, 8/17/06: “[31.Aug.2006 ]ou…cannot be a President in a wartime and not realize that you’ve got to stay the course.” Snow, 8/16/06: “[T]hat’s why the President is determined to stay the course.” President Bush, 7/11/06: “As a matter of fact, we will win in Iraq so long as we stay the course.” Vice President Cheney, 6/6/06: “[W]e have to stay the course.” People who say the Bush administration wants to “stay the course” in Iraq are not making an accusation, as today’s Washington Post suggests. They are telling the truth.
31.Aug.2006 During an appearance yesterday - Nico - with First Lady Laura Bush, Sen. Conrad Burns (R-MT) “talked about the war on terrorism, saying a ‘faceless enemy’ of terrorists ‘drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night.’” (HT: Wake-Up Call)
31.Aug.2006 August 31, 2006 - Think Progress - “A crowd of thousands cheered Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson” at a protest of President Bush’s appearance in town yesterday, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. Anderson called Bush a “dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights violating president.” Gov. Schwarzenegger (R-CA) and Democratic leaders agreed yesterday on the “ most sweeping controls on carbon dioxide emissions in the nation ,” which call for a 25 % reduction in emissions by 2020, “and could establish controls on the largest industrial sectors, including utilities, oil refineries and cement plants.” “As many as one in five members of the armed services are being preyed on by loan centers set up near military bases that can charge cash-strapped military families interest of 400% or more, a new Pentagon report has found.” Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) “will probably be fined” and face other penalties for falsely telling the Tennessee Department of Health he had fulfilled all the requirements that doctors with active licenses must maintain in the state. In a move to satisfy his “most conservative supporters,” President Bush on Wednesday nominated five “extremely divisive” people as appeals court judges , “including one whom Democrats have threatened to block with a filibuster.” Violent crime is up for the first six months of 2006, according to statistics shared by 170 local officials. “At the summit, city officials shared stories about their challenges in fighting growing crime, particularly among juveniles, amid cuts in community programs for youths as well as an uneven economic recovery.” 28 %: The drop in the number of white-collar crime prosecutions from five years ago, according to a new analysis of federal data, apparently due to a shift to homeland security cases. “The amount of nicotine in most cigarettes rose an average of almost 10 % from 1998 to 2004, with brands most popular with young people and minorities registering the biggest increases and highest nicotine content.” And finally: Rochester, Minn., City Council member Pat Carr has apologized for posting anonymous messages on the local newspaper’s Web site , such as, “Pat Carr has done nothing but stand up for the silent majority.” Carr said, “I stand by what I said,” but noted that he didn’t write every one of the self-glorifying posts; “one was written by a friend visiting his office.”
31.Aug.2006 From Hype To Hysteria: Fox News Selling Preemptive War Against Iran - Think Progress - Tomorrow marks the deadline for Iran to comply with U.N. demands to suspend portions of its nuclear program. Fox is using the opportunity to sell another preemptive war. Today Fox has aired multiple segments featuring pundits who claim that a U.S. military attack on Iran is both essential and imminent. Fox anchors repeatedly parrot these arguments. Watch a compilation of clips culled from the last several hours: Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) said recently that a military strike on Iran would be “disastrous, catastrophic,” + “would inflame the Middle East in ways we can’t imagine today.” A bipartisan group of national security experts agrees there are no good military options in Iran. Digg It! Full transcript: FOX ANCHOR: In a Washington Times article, Arnaud de Borchgrave writes, “Odds makers bet sometime before the end of his second term President Bush will order a massive air attack on a wide range of carefully selected targets in Iran, in partnership with Israel + against the advice of many of his advisers.”…
FOX ANCHOR: Some though think a more hawkish approach is in order, suggesting that President Bush should order the military to hit targets in Iran sometime before he leaves office.…
FOX ANCHOR: Do you see that as a possibility?
BILL KRISTOL: It sure is a possibility, Jon. And I think the President would hate to leave office with Iran well on its way to getting nuclear weapons …
GEN. BURTON MOORE: It’s interesting that we’re discussing pre-emptive strike now as we get close to the deadline, which suggests that more + more people, particularly in conservative circles realize Iran’s not going to back down. The U.N. is not going to be able to enforce it and it will be up to the United States, perhaps Britain with some logistics support from perhaps France and of course Israel, will have to carry out a strike before Iran gets too far down the road here. …
FOX ANCHOR: And could the Bush administration prepare to launch a massive air strike against Iran’s nuclear sites? This hour we will talk with one expert who says yes. …
FOX ANCHOR: And I talked to a guest last hour who said military action could be imminent before Bush leaves office. …
FOX ANCHOR: What about a pre-emptive strike on Iran? More and more reports on this now.
31.Aug.2006 Apocalypse not now. - Payson - “If you hadn’t heard,” writes Aditya Dasgupta at Foreign Policy’s blog, “Bernard Lewis - an eminent Princeton academic who is an extremely influential voice in the White House - actually predicted that Iran might try to wipe out Israel on August 22, 2006. Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised to see this kind of blind speculation gracing the op-ed pages of the WSJ. And one week after August 22, the prediction seems even more ridiculous.”
31.Aug.2006 Caught Red-Handed: Stevens Blocked Creation of Federal Spending Database - Guest - Last week, an “unidentified senator” placed a hold on legislation introduced by Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Tom Coburn (R-OK) that would create a easily-accessible Google-like database of all federal spending, which totaled $2.5 trillion last year. The bill appeared to be headed for passage after being approved unanimously in committee. However, the anonymous senator’s hold on the bill prevented it from coming to a vote. In response, liberals and conservatives worked together to ask every Senate office whether they had placed a hold on the bill. Of all 100 senators, only Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) would not deny placing the hold. In addition, one of the bill’s leading sponsors, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), said of Stevens, “he’s the only senator blocking it.” Stevens’s opposition to such a bill is not surprising; he is one of the most prolific earmarkers in the Senate: 00.000.2005 Stevens helped slip in legislation to begin construction on the “Bridge to Nowhere,” earmarking over $200 million for a bridge to an island home to 50 people. When an amendment jeopardized funding for the project, Stevens threatened to resign. – Later that year, Stevens tried to insert an amendment into the national defense bill allowing oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. When the Senate struck the provision, Stevens called it “the saddest day of my life” and has “written off” Senate friends who opposed drilling. – This year, Stevens earmarked $450,000 to research baby food made from salmon and over $1 million for “alternative salmon product research.” This is the third year in a row he has appropriated money to research salmon products.

31.Aug.2006 VIDEO: Rumsfeld Compares Iraq War Critics To Hitler Appeasers - Judd - In a speech to the American Legion yesterday, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld continued his blistering attack on critics of the administration’s Iraq war policy. Rumsfeld compared critics of his policies to people “in the decades before World War II” who believed Hitler “could be appeased” and “argued that the fascist threat was exaggerated — or that it was someone else’s problem.” People critical of his current efforts, according to Rumsfeld, “have still not learned history’s lessons.” Rumsfeld added, “any moral or intellectual confusion about who and what is right or wrong can weaken the ability of free societies to persevere.” Watch it: Read the full text of Rumsfeld’s remarks here.

31.Aug.2006 August 30, 2006 - Think Progress - “President Bush will launch another major public-relations offensive to strengthen support for the Iraq war — this time likely emphasizing the high stakes and changing nature of the battle more than the progress being made.” The new series of speeches begins tomorrow at the annual American Legion convention in Utah and will continue through the 9/11 anniversary. $32.7 million: the average compensation in 2005 of the CEOs of the largest 15 oil companies, according to a new study. Fox News ratings have plummeted , down 28 % since Aug. 2005. The new Census figures show “the gap between the richest and poorest Americans widened last year.” “What have been missing,” the New York Times explains, are policies “like strong support for public education, a progressive income tax, affordable health care, a higher minimum wage and other labor protections.” Former President Jimmy Carter has expressed his willingness to meet with former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami after Iranians indicated their desire for such a meeting. Carter’s spokesman said, “He believes that it is much better to be talking to people who you have problems with than not to + that’s the approach he takes now.” A day after a U.S. military spokesman said “we are actually seeing progress” in Baghdad, Iraqi police found 27 bodies “in three separate locations” around the city yesterday. “They included 11 bullet-riddled corpses discovered near a school in a Shiite neighborhood of south Baghdad and 13 more dumped behind a Shiite mosque in the west of the city.” Women are suddenly scarce among Supreme Court justice clerks , accounting for only 7 of the 37 clerkships for the new term. That is “the first time the number has been in the single digits since 1994, when there were 4,000 fewer women among the country’s new law school graduates than there are today.”
Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage acknowledged he was the primary source for Robert Novak and Bob Woodward on Valerie Plame’s identity as a CIA officer. Hospitals in Iraq have become the war’s new “killing fields.” “In growing numbers, sick and wounded Sunnis have been abducted from public hospitals operated by Iraq’s Shiite-run Health Ministry and later killed.” And finally: Blanco chokes, Wolf doesn’t. “Gov. Blanco of Louisiana chokes while being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on Late Edition. Wolf keeps his cool. Of course he does. He’s Wolf Blitzer.”
31.Aug.2006 Bush Appointee Used Taxpayer Resources For His Personal Horse Racing Operation - Nico - The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is the federal agency responsible for all U.S. government international broadcasting, including Voice of America and U.S. broadcasts into countries like Iran and Cuba. President Bush appointed “staunch conservative” Kenneth Tomlinson to the board of the BBG in 2001 + nominated him to serve as Chairman in 2004 2002. Today, a State Dept. inspector general’s report was made public showing that Tomlinson has abused his position and effectively defrauded taxpayers. Among the lowlights, Tomlinson: – used BBG resources to support his personal horse racing operation; – requested the hiring of a personal friend as a contractor without the knowledge of other board members or staff + signed invoices providing almost $250,000 in compensation even though the contractor provided no written reports or other supporting documentation required by the contract; – requested and received compensation that exceeded the maximum allowed by law; If this story sounds familiar, it is. Tomlinson resigned last year from the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting after the CPB inspector general found Tomlinson had used “agency money to hire consultants and lobbyists without notifying the agency’s board,” among various other offenses. Today, Reps. Howard Berman (D-CA) and Tom Lantos (D-CA) and Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-CT) wrote President Bush urging him to immediately remove Tomlinson from his position.

31.Aug.2006 Sinister Plan to Divide Iraq
Hassan Tahsin One of the most unrealistic statements made by US President George Bush in recent times is that he is worried about the lack of progress in Iraq. In his statement in the Pentagon meeting on Aug. 15, Bush also expressed disappointment at the Iraqi people?s lack of understanding of the American "sacrifices" in terms of man and material for their sake. However the most serious point made by Bush at the meeting was, according to a White House statement, his rejection of the ! idea of Iraq?s division as a solution to end the violence. This meeting was not, apparently, held to express the US president?s worries over the Iraqi people?s plight. It was, presumably, to chalk out a method to extricate the US from the Iraqi quagmire. At the same time the US also wanted to guarantee the implementation of its secret scheme to divide the Arab world into small petty states that could be easily brought to obedience in order to protect the US and Israeli interests forever. Those familiar with the American behavior in recent times could view the White House statement only as a preliminary step on the road to Iraq?s division into three states ? Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish. This division would also pave the US road to Iran and Syria... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26231 Apocalypse Now or Pack of Lies?*
UK Airport Terror Plot
Felicity Arbuthnot** On September 11, 2001, when Prime Minister Blair announced, in the wake of the disaster of the Twin Towers ? apparently without discussing Britain's stance with his Cabinet and with no debate in Parliament ? that Britain stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the United States, the refrain on the street, on the bus, among friends was broadly "thanks a bunch, Tony, we are all targets now." Inspite of the outpouring of sympathy for innocent! lives lost, people were mindful of possible reasons, such as the 21 countries attacked or destabilized by America since 1945. Yet when London's bombings of July 7, 2005, took place, grief and sadness were accompanied by huge doses of cynicism. https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26225 The Lobby and the Israeli Invasion of Lebanon:

James Petras, www.dissidentvoice.org All the national, state and local Jewish organizations have launched a $300 million fundraising + propaganda campaign in support of the 21 Jewish civilians + 116 soldiers killed during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (but not the 18 Israeli Arabs who were excluded from Jews-only bomb shelters).

On the contrary the entire Jewish lobby echoed in precise detail the Israeli lies that the Lebanese deaths were caused by the Lebanese resistance?s "use of human shields," despite the total devastation of the heavily populated southern suburbs of Beirut, completely out of range of any Hezbollah rockets.

The insurgency is made up largely of Iraqis who op! pose an invasion of their country, but they are constantly referred to as terrorists. No one tells you where the billions upon billions of your war dollars have gone; the Bush administration certainly has not rebuilt the country they bombed to smithereens. You don?t know what is happening because US reporters are not free to leave the safety of the Green Zone and they rely on official military reports for their information. You hear what the Pentagon chooses to tell you. You hear that progress is being made, despite the ongoing, daily, non-stop death and mayhem and carnage. You just don?t know... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26239 Free Speech or Censorship?
Project for the Old American Century blog This story could end up being pivotal in terms of both free speech and censorship issues. The US government arrested and charged Javed Iqbal - an American businessman originally from Pakistan - for providing customers in New York with broadcasts from Al Manar (a "Hizbullah" television station in Lebanon). According to the prosecutor (Stephen A Miller), "The charge lurking in the background is material support for terrorism." Mr. Stephens said he! did not know of any other cases of people "accused of breaking US law by offering access to news outlets via satellite dish." Mr Iqbal was arrested under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") (pdf) as Al Manar was listed as a terrorist organization in March 2006. Al Manar was bombed by Israel on June 12, 2006. Al Manar is one of the 10 most watched Arab stations...https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26238 The Assault on Iraqi Agriculture --- U.S. Agribusiness Targets the Fertile Crescent
Daniel Stone ...In 1991, the U.S. deliberately bombed Iraq's civilian infrastructure of water purification and electrical plants + then prevented Iraq from rebuilding same by imposing sanctions (more accurately a "military blockade" - an act of war). In both 1991 and 2003, "US bombing raids targeted cattle feed lots, poultry farms, fertilizer warehouses, pumping stations, irrigation systems, fuel depots and pesticide factories ! ---the very infrastructure of Iraqi agriculture." It will take years to restore these operations under good conditions. Under the U.S.-driven sanctions' rubric of "dual use," the most common and necessary materials were blocked from entering Iraq. For instance, some parts for irrigation systems were banned, thus preventing the repair and use of irrigation...https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26237 Iraqi hospitals are war?s new ?killing fields'
Medical sites targeted by Shiite militiamen
Amit R. Paley ...In Baghdad these days, not even the hospitals are safe. In growing numbers, sick and wounded Sunnis have been abducted from public hospitals operated by Iraq's Shiite-run Health Ministry and later killed, according to patients, families of victims, doctors and government officials. As a result, more and more Iraqis are avoiding hospitals, making it even harder to preserve life in a city where dea! th is seemingly everywhere. Gunshot victims are now being treated by nurses in makeshift emergency rooms set up in homes. Women giving birth are smuggled out of Baghdad and into clinics in safer provinces. In most cases, family members and hospital workers said, the motive for the abductions appeared to be nothing more than religious affiliation. Because public hospitals here are controlled by Shiites, the killings have raised questions about whether hospital staff have allowed Shiite death squads into their facilities to slaughter Sunni Arabs (...) According to patients and families of victims, the primary group kidnapping Sunnis from hospitals is the Mahdi Army, a militia controlled by anti-American Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr that has infiltrated the Iraqi security forces and several government ministries... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26247 Doing the Wrong Thing in Afghanistan: Depleted Uranium: The Definitive Moral Paradox
Michael Clarke It is Canada Day evening + I can barely hear the whistles, booms and bangs of the fireworks. It sounds a bit like distant bombs exploding, reminding me of the incredible moral paradox our federal government's aggressive military role in Afghanistan has created for all Canadians. Our government, military, newspapers, television and radio media are efficiently dispersing the official sound bytes: "our troops in Af! ghanistan have the moral authority"; "Canada is doing the right thing"; "it's a noble mission"; and, "we are just spreading freedom and democracy". But, they are not telling us that there is something else we are spreading around Afghanistan that any truly moral person would instinctively consider immoral and evil... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26240 Iraqi forces strike truce with Shiite militia after battles kill at least 80
Daily Star staff Iraqi forces struck a truce Tuesday with Shiite militia fighters after violent clashes in a town south of Baghdad left at least 80 dead since Monday (...) The deal with the Shiite militias came as a string of sectarian attacks killed at least 10 and a pipeline exploded near Diwaniyya, incinerating at least 36 civilians as they looted fuel. And Iraqi police found the bodies of 24 people who had apparently been tortured an! d shot before being dumped at two locations in Baghdad, police said. "We reached a settlement with Mehdi Army forces to end the confrontation," town councilor Sheikh Ghanim Abid said, as shops in Diwaniyya reopened and water and electricity supplies were turned back on. Saheb al-Ameri, the head of cleric Moqtada Sadr's office in Najaf, said Diwaniyya's governor met the cleric on Monday to negotiate an end to the battle, which he blamed on the "personal behavior" of some Mehdi Army members... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26232 DAILY WAR NEWS FOR TUESDAY, August 29, 2006

Segregation, Control and the Creation of Bantustans in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).
Owen Powell The question of Israel as an apartheid state has received increasing attention over the last years as Israel has continued colonial expansion in the West Bank while simultaneously attempting to diverge itself from the Palestinians. The purpose of this article is to highlight the growing systemization of apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) with particular r! eference to Israel's policy of unilateral disengagement. The need for this debate is highlighted by the effective outcomes of disengagement which has already resulted in the segregation of Palestinian communities and delineation of exclusive Jewish space by means of the segregation barrier. Furthermore the creation of Palestinian enclaves or ghettos in the OPT bears a striking resemblance to the South African policies during the apartheid era which sought the establishment Bantustans as a means to facilitate segregation and to secure privileges for an ethnic minority... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26235 Why Israel Creates a Humanitarian Disaster in Palestine
James Marc Leas Palestine is suffering a manmade disaster stemming from a sequence of US backed Israeli actions: military occupation, the wall, the embargo + now the military invasion. Israel's pretext for these actions has been suicide bombers, captured Israeli soldiers + rockets fired at Israeli towns. The real purpose appears to be weaken, humiliate + force out the civilian population so Israel can take over the rest of their land. Back in 2003 a! UN report stated that "a humanitarian catastrophe" was already building in the occupied Palestinian territories "as a result of extremely harsh military measures that the occupying Israeli military forces have imposed in response to the outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000."... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26234 More Sunni-Shiite clashes are reported in Baghdad
Nancy A. Youssef and Mark Brunswick, McClatchy Newspapers Armed groups of Sunni and Shiite Muslims battled Tuesday for control of several neighborhoods in southwest Baghdad, residents of those areas reported. It was another sign that security is deteriorating in the capital and that Iraq may be moving closer to a full-fledged civil war. Fighting between armed groups of Shiites and Sunnis isn't uncommon in Baghdad, but the extent of Tuesday's fighting was unprecede! nted (...) There was no official version of the fighting in al Ray, Shurta Rabiyah, Ghuratan and Suwaib, which are predominantly Sunni neighborhoods. Residents said an effort by supporters of militant Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr to seize control of the areas had triggered the fighting. A Sadr spokesman, while acknowledging battles, said no Sadr supporters were involved... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26242 Media Disinformation on 911: Anatomy of a Hatchet Job: CBC Radio?s ?The Current? and Scholars for 9/11 Truth
Prof. Michael Keefer, Globalresearch.ca ...That?s much what happened in 2003 and since to the corporate media?s narratives about Saddam Hussein?s fearsome weapons of mass destruction, about the supposed reluctance of Bush and Blair to go to war in Iraq + their supposedly pure and democratic motives when they did. That?s much what?s happening now to the claims advanced by Israel to legitimize its renewed! aggressions against the Palestinians and Lebanese (Hizbollah?s "kidnapping" of two Israeli soldiers rather loses its steam as a casus belli once people learn about Israel?s prior provocations?and about the fact that all the early Israeli statements and press reports identified the soldiers as having been on Lebanese soil when they were captured). It?s happening as well to two somewhat more complex stories that have, until recently, been managing to sustain themselves in the corporate media. One of these is the story that George W. Bush actually won the 2004 presidential election + hence has some right to the office he continues to occupy. The other is the no less fraudulent story that the terrorist crimes of September 11, 2001 were perpetrated by a gang of Islamist fanatics led by a bearded Saudi in an Afghan cave?rather than being organized (and subsequently covered up) by civilian and military officials at the highest levels of the Bush regime... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26243 America Is Losing Iraq: Is Anybody Watching?
Danny Schechter, MediaChannel.org ...Iraq has been reduced to a litany of bloody incidents and body counts. For many, it is both boring and hard to follow + so they tune out. Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, terrorists, insurgents, private militias...whatever happened to 'us' and 'them?' No wonder that when the JonBenet Ramsey story resurfaced the TV channels flocked to it like flies to a flame. When I worked for network TV, we had a term for stories we lost interest in. We ! would say, "Been there, done that!" In the nation's newsrooms, the triage has begun -- with Iraq sounding more and more like something that happened long ago. Get ready for more History Channel specials and somber retrospectives that help us to believe that we can be forgiven for thinking of the Iraq War in the past-tense. Besides, covering Iraq is so dangerous. Few reporters want to take so many risks for so little "face time" on TV. And there are hardly any " positive" stories to report -- even though the conservative media keep beating the bushes for them... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26246 Israel is a terrorocracy, not a democracy
Khalid Amayreh, thepeoplesvoice.org One of the most enduring myths about Israel is the often-made claim that it is a democracy. The big lie is marketed effectively in many Western countries where Zionist-controlled or Zionist-influenced media has a definitive stranglehold on public opinion. consequently, the "veracity" of the myth is taken for granted by many politicians, journalists, intellectuals and ordinary people + is used as a ready-made weapon against Israel?s c! ritics. The truth of the matter, however, is that Israel is not a real democracy but rather a nefarious religious- ethnic terrorist regime that heavily employs state-terror as official policy... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26230 The Big Lie About 'Islamic Fascism'
Eric Margolis The latest big lie unveiled by Washington?s neoconservatives are the poisonous terms, "Islamo-Fascists" and "Islamic Fascists." They are the new, hot buzzwords among America?s far right and Christian fundamentalists. President George W. Bush made a point last week of using "Islamofacists" when recently speaking of Hezbullah and Hamas ? both, by the way, democratically elected parties. A Canadian government minister from the Conservative Party compared Lebanon?s He! zbullah to Nazi Germany. The term "Islamofascist" is utterly without meaning, but packed with emotional explosives. It is a propaganda creation worthy Dr. Goebbels + the latest expression of the big lie technique being used by neocons in Washington?s propaganda war against its enemies in the Muslim World. This ugly term was probably first coined in Israel ? as was the other hugely successful propaganda term, "terrorism" ? to dehumanize + demonize opponents and deny them any rational political motivation, hence removing any need to deal with their grievances + demands... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26228 Today's 'Islamic fascists' were yesterday's friends
Brendan O'Neill ...In a nutshell, the wars over state, territory + politics that defined the Cold War era have given way to cosmic battles between "good" and "evil" - between a West apparently keen to defend secular, democratic values and its twisted opponents who prefer the idea of autocratic Islam. This simplistic view of the new geopolitical landscape is deeply problematic. It overlooks the key role that the West played in nurturing radical Islamist groups! , precisely as a means of isolating and undermining secular movements that were judged by Western governments to be too uppity or dangerous. Over the past 80 years and more - from Egypt to Afghanistan to Palestine - powerful governments in the West and their allies in the Middle East helped to create radical Islamic sects as a bulwark against secular nationalist parties or pan-Arabism. They gave the nod to + in some instances funded and armed, Islamist movements that might challenge the claims of local anti-colonial, liberationist, or communistic outfits... https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26227 Johann Hari.

Stalin?s nephews in our democracy fiction
Gabriele Zamparini, The cat's dream Johann Hari, the "award-winning journalist" , the "twice-weekly columnist for The Independent, one of Britain's leading newspapers" and "the youngest person to ever be nominated for the prestigious Orwell Prize for political writing" wrote on 25 August 2006 "An intriguing example of blatant anti-Semitism and blindness to it by some on the left" where he accused me of anti-Semitis! m not for something I did, said or wrote but for a comment someone else left on my blog. Accusations of "anti-Semitism" have become in these days like patriotism: usually used as the refuge of the scoundrel. In spite of the ludicrous writing of Johann Hari, this topic is quite important and it?s the subject of two interesting books by Norman G.

Reuters A battle between militiamen and Iraqi troops that left dozens dead highlighted deep fractures among Shi'ite parties united in the Baghdad coalition government but warring for influence over the oil-rich Shi'ite south (...)
At the heart of the fighting in Diwaniya, a provincial capital in the fertile Middle Euphrates plain, appear to have been fighters from the Mehdi Army militia, even though senior political officials close to its clerical leader Moqtada al-Sadr denied involvement in a battle that killed at least 20 soldiers. Sadr's movement, popular among poor and long-oppressed Shi'ites for charity work modelled on Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hizbollah, is one of a handful of major Shi'ite parties grouped in the United Alliance, which dominates parliament and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's U.S.-backed national unity government...https://www.uruknet.info/?p=26222 GI Special 4H29: Cornered Rat - August 29, 2006

09.May 2001 Harvard, students end sit-in with plan to form panel By JULES CRITTENDEN, The Boston Herald Both sides declared victory yesterday as Harvard University + students protesting workers' wages ended their 21-day impasse with an agreement to form a joint committee to review the issue. The 29 students who occupied administration offices for three weeks were greeted with cheers from hundreds of students, union leaders and professors as well as the gratitude of Harvard's janitor s and dining hall workers. "I think I speak for everyone when I say, it's beautiful out here," said protester Stephen Smith, 21, emerging into spring weather for the first time since April 19. "For a long time we were the forgotten workers in America. But not any more," said Harvard janitor Consuelo Tizon. "Thanks to you, all the world understands the story of the living wage at Harvard University." AFL-CIO Massachusetts President Robert Hanes said, "You should be proud of yourselves. You are the moral conscience of this university and for that, we salute you. There is a great moral irony here in Harvard Yard when the students are doing the teaching." The agreement calls for a committee of 11 professors, one administrator, one dean, four students and three workers to make recommendations on pay raises and health-care benefits. Protesters, citing Harvard's $ 19 billion endowment, demanded that wages now as low as $ 6.50 an hour be raised to a minimum of $ 10.25. Their campaign drew support from politicians and alumni. Harvard President Neil Rudenstine said in a statement, "As a socially responsible institution, Harvard is committed to employment practices that reflect a humane and principled concern for the well-being of all individuals who work here . . . I also believe that reasoned deliberation, by a faculty-led committee that gathers objective information . . . is the appropriate way for a university to address such matters." Harvard spokesman Joseph Wrinn said the agreement leaves final authority with the administration, rather than ceding to protesters' wage demands. "Each side can find something to look at as a victory or an adherence to a previous position," Wrinn said. He added that some students could face disciplinary action for occupying Massachusetts Hall and for any academic failures during the three-week protest. .."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that RadioShack has notified 400 workers by e-mail that they are being laid off. The e-mails state, "The work force reduction notification is currently in progress. Unfortunately your position is one that has been eliminated." Nothing says thank you for your years of service to our company quite like an e-boot out the door."
31.Aug.2006 Cell Phone Secrets Die Hard - samzenpus 106 - duplo1 writes "According to an article on CNN, "Selling your old phone once you upgrade to a fancier model can be like handing over your diaries. All sorts of sensitive information pile[s] up inside our cell phones + deleting it may be more difficult than you think." It seems that corporate security policies need to extend their disposal standards to mobile devices; but what is there to educate consumers regarding such a potential breach of privacy?"
31.Aug.2006 SMART Probe to Crash Into the Moon - ScuttleMonkey 133 - cyberbian writes "Amateur astronomers will be excited to note that they can witness the impact of the SMART-1 probe crashing into the moon. The impact is scheduled for the morning of September 2nd (PDT). From the article: 'There's nothing wrong with the spacecraft, which is wrapping up a successful 3-year mission to the Moon. SMART-1's main job was to test a European-built ion engine. It worked beautifully, propelling the craft in 2003 on a unique spiral path from Earth to the Moon. From lunar orbit, SMART-1 took thousands of high-resolution pictures and made mineral maps of the Moon's terrain. One of its most important discoveries was a "Peak of Eternal Light," a mountaintop near the Moon's north pole in constant, year-round sunlight. Peaks of Eternal Light are prime real estate for solar-powered Moon bases."
31.Aug.2006 The 4 other game markets they identified are Social Gamers, Leisure Gamers, Dormant Gamers, Incidental Gamers. If you are wondering what those categories mean, the article gives descriptions of what each segment is. A surprising result from the survey is the importance of social gaming; video games are often considered a solitary activity, but Parks Associates' findings indicate a significant portion of the market views gaming as a social activity."
31.Aug.2006 Bloggers 1, Smoke-Filled Room 0 - kdawson 326 - MarkusQ writes "A few days ago a bi-partisan bill (PDF) to create a searchable on-line database of government contracts, grants, insurance, loans, financial assistance, earmarks and other such pork was put on 'secret hold' using a procedure that does not appear to be mentioned in the Constitution or in the Senate bylaws. This raised the ire of bloggers left and right and started an all out bi-partisan effort to expose the culprit by process of elimination. As it turns out it was our old friend the right honorable Senator from Alaska, Mr. 'Series of Tubes', Ted 'Bridge to Nowhere' Stevens."
31.Aug.2006 Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK - ScuttleMonkey 595 - An anonymous reader writes "The BBC is reporting that possession of violent pornography is now punishable by three years in prison. This decision was handed down in response to a campaign waged by a grieving mother who lost her daughter to someone obsessed with violent pornography." From the article: "Shaun Gabb, director of the anti-censorship organization the Libertarian Alliance, said: 'If you are criminalizing possession then you are giving police inquisitorial powers to come into your house and see what you've got, now we didn't have this in the past.'"
31.Aug.2006 Single-Celled Species' Genome As Complex As Ours? - kdawson 227 - An anonymous reader writes: "A new paper reports on the sequencing and analysis of the genome of a single-celled species known as Tetrahymena thermophila. This ciliate (like the Paramecium people look at in school) has some 27,000 genes, or nearly as many as humans. And despite existing as a single cell, this spcies encodes fantastic complexity and unusual features. For example, it has a primitive immune system that prevents the invasion of foreign DNA. Also, it is able to cordon off its germ cell lineage much as humans do with sperm and eggs. But Tetrahymena does this by having two nuclei within each cell, with one of the nuclei being held in reserve for sex. Basically, this species uses its genome complexity to function like a single celled chameleon, changing its shape and its properties in response to the changing environment. For example, when a new nutrient shows up in its neighborhood this species can build a kit to suck the nutrient in, degrade it + turn it into cellular biomass quickly. Thus whereas humans use their genomic complexity in part to create a stable environment for the body, this species simply uses a genomic swiss army kit to make do with whatever environment it encounters."
31.Aug.2006 Misconceptions About the GPL - ScuttleMonkey 371 - lisah writes "Misconceptions about the widely used GNU General Public License (GPL) continue to plague the free software user community and, according to the ITManagersJournal, 'the confusion is frequently based on misreadings, rumors, secondhand accounts + what is convenient to believe.' In order to clarify some of the more common misunderstandings about the GPL, Bruce Byfield consulted with three experts: attorney Richard Fontana, one of the main drafters of the third version of the license; Harald Welte of the GPL-Violations project; and David Turner who is assisting with revisions of the license. Together, they help clarify the distributor's role in providing source code to customers, whether GPL is viral or unenforceable + why some misunderstandings are really rooted in varied interpretations of the law." ITMJ and Slashdot are both owned by OSTG.
31.Aug.2006 The Future of Human-Computer Interaction - ScuttleMonkey 25+ - ChelleChelle writes "Starting with the Xerox Alto and the Star, ACM Queue briefly covers the history of human-computer interaction from past to present. It doesn't stop there, however. Using a hypothetical situation involving context-awareness in cellphones, the author lays out his thoughts on the future of HCI, offering opinions, advice + examples."
31.Aug.2006 The Light Bulb That Can Change the World - ScuttleMonkey 683+ - An anonymous reader FastCompany is reporting on the latest and greatest version of the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). While CFLs of the past may have been efficient, they certainly were not effective. However, according to the article, CFLs have come as far as cell phones have since the mid 80s while still maintaining that high efficiency. From the article: "if every one of 110 million American households bought just one [CFL], took it home + screwed it in the place of an ordinary 60-watt bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. One bulb swapped out, enough electricity saved to power all the homes in Delaware and Rhode Island. In terms of oil not burned, or greenhouse gases not exhausted into the atmosphere, one bulb is equivalent to taking 1.3 million cars off the roads."

Das Urteil steht noch aus. Das Magazin Newsweek hatte diese Woche bereits Auszüge eines neuen Buches von Michael Isikoff und David Corn über die Affäre gedruckt. Darin heißt es, Armitage habe seine Rolle als "Leaker" erst realisiert, als Novak in einer weiteren Kolumne schrieb, er habe seine Informationen über Plame nicht von einem "politischen Revolverhelden". Armitage habe das Justizministerium rasch über seinen Verdacht informiert und mehrere Gespräche mit dem FBI gehabt. Die Autoren des Buches zitieren auch den ehemaligen FBI-Chef Carl Ford Jr., dem Armitage gestanden habe: "Ich bin vielleicht der Mann, der das alles losgetreten hat". Der Vizeaußenminister habe bedauert, einem Journalisten versehentlich zu viel erzählt zu haben. agö

30.Aug.2006 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ For an eye-opening memorial that exposes yet another Bush contribution to the disaster, watch Greg Palast's short documentary on how the evacuation planning got outsourced to a private company. It's most excellent + it will really tick you off.
And to explore the real implications of private outsourcing (read: profit ), don't miss Naomi Klein's take-down of the trend in the latest issue of The Nation . Here also is a list she made a year ago of the privatizing plans for NOLA problems drawn up by the House Republican Study Committee (less than one month after landfall; they wasted no time, but oodles of moolah).
30.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-433862,00.html Im Weißen Haus hofft man, dass bei den Kongresswahlen im November noch einmal die Angstkarte sticht. Wie zuletzt bei Bushs Wiederwahl 2004 gilt: "It's terrorism, stupid." Die Welt wird immer gefährlicher, die Demokraten immer pazifistischer, lautet ihre Botschaft. Eine Niederlage Liebermans, gibt Bush-Vize Dick Cheney schon den Ton vor, helfe nur den "al-Qaida-Typen, die hoffen, dass wir die Nerven verlieren."

"Ist der Präsident ein Idiot?", fragte gerade eine von dem ehemaligen republikanischen Kongressabgeordneten John Scarborough moderierte populäre Talkshow.
30.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-433862,00.html Selbst in der eigenen Partei ist Bushs Zauber verflogen
30.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-433862,00.html
Eine mächtige Allianz aus Bloggern und Internet-Aktivisten, die entschlossen ist, die Demokraten auf strikten Anti-Kriegs-Kurs und den Abzug der US-Truppen zu verpflichten, brachte Lieberman Anfang August bei den parteiinternen Vorwahlen zu Fall. Als Kandidat der Demokraten für die Wahl in den Senat wurde ein Geschäftsmann namens Ned Lamont gewählt.
30.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/0,1518,druck-433862,00.html Sogar gegen parteiinterne Forderungen, ganz aus dem Rennen auszusteigen, muss sich der ehemalige Bürgermeister von Derby inzwischen wehren. Und Schuld an allem, sagt Schlesinger, ist das Weiße Haus: "Sie haben den Wahlkampf hier gekidnappt." AP Präsident Bush: Zweifel an Intellekt und Kompetenz
Da hat er sogar Recht, der Bann des eigenen Kandidaten geschieht mit ausdrücklicher Billigung von ganz oben. Dann auch Präsident George W. Bush setzt auf den Erfolg des demokratischen Senators Joseph Lieberman, obwohl der doch zumindest pro forma als politischer Gegner gelten muss. Lieberman ist demokratisches Urgestein, 2000 war er im Wahlkampf von Al Gore Kandidat für das Amt des Vizepräsidenten, ein echter Parteipromi. Wie die meisten Demokraten votierte er für den Irak-Krieg - aber er ist einer der Wenigen, der sich bis heute offen zu dieser Entscheidung bekennt: "Es war richtig."
30.Aug.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/erde/0,1518,druck-434221,00.html Was passiert also, wenn man Kohlendioxid in die Tiefsee pumpt? Pläne, das Klima erwärmende Treibhausgas einfach im Meer zu versenken, gibt es seit Jahren. "Niemand kennt die Konsequenzen dieses CO2-Disposal", sagt die Meereswissenschaftlerin Boetius. Sie und ihre Kollegen wollten nicht urteilen, ob dieses Verfahren gut oder schlecht ist. "Wir wollen nur darauf hinweisen, dass mit steigendem CO2-Gehalt am Meeresgrund weniger Mikroben da unten leben." "Warum soll das Meer zur Endlagerstätte werden?" Gut 50 Meter von dem Kohlendioxid-See entfernt geht es nämlich viel lebhafter zu, erzählt Boetius. Da gebe es Schlote und Krebse. "Warum also sollen die Ozeane unsere Autoabgase aufnehmen? Warum sollen sie zur Endlagerstätte für Industrieabfälle werden", fragt sich Onno Groß von Deepwave. Indes gibt es auf der ganzen Welt Projekte, Kohlendioxid unter die Meere zu bringen, wie eine Datenbank des "IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme" zeigt. Das Programm wurde 1991 nach einem Abkommen der Internationalen Energieagentur (IEA) gegründet, um sich dafür zu engagieren, den Ausstoß an Treibhausgasen in die Atmosphäre zu reduzieren. Mitglieder sind Deutschland und 16 weitere Nationen, die Europäische Kommission, die Opec und Sponsoren aus der Industrie, darunter Shell, RWE und e-on.

30.Aug.2006 https://www.lewrockwell.com/north/north470.html Then there was another seemingly random event. I have quoted this passage before on this site. It is from Jim Lehrer's autobiography, A Bus of My Own . He was at Love Field in Dallas that morning, as a young reporter covering the President's motorcade. He was on the phone with a man at the newspaper. Just before the plane was scheduled to leave Fort Worth for the short flight to Dallas, the rewrite man, Stan Weinberg, asked me if the bubble top was going to be on the presidential limousine. It would help to know now, he said, before he wrote the story later under pressure. It had been raining early that morning + there was some uncertainty about it. I told Stan that I would find it. I put the phone down and walked over to a small ramp where the motorcade limousines were being held in waiting. I spotted Forrest Sorels, the agent in charge of the Dallas Secret Service office. I knew Mr. Sorrels fairly well, because I was then the regular federal beat reporter. . . . I looked down the ramp. The bubble top was on the president's car. "Rewrite wants to know if the bubble top's going to stay on," I said to Mr. Sorrels, a man of fifty or so who wore dignified glasses and resembled a preacher or bank president. He looked at the sky and then hollered over at one of his agents holding a two-way radio in his hand. What about the weather downtown? he asked the agent. The agent talked into his radio for a few seconds, then listened. Clear, he hollered back. Mr. Sorrels yelled back at the agents standing by the car: "Take off the bubble top!" How can we factor that series of events into the plans of Oswald and/or anyone else? If the bubble had been left on, would JFK have been assassinated a week or a month later? By whom? History is complex. It is more complex than any conspiracy can deal with predictably.
