Le BotCast with Cheese – Le BotCast

BotCast #29 Deceptimus & Botrax nous font le premier segment en Anglais avec une perspective de l’Oklahoma! Les drogues dans l’eau potable poussent les amaricains à faire des appels sur la radio pour tuer les activistes anti-guerre, mais les vols de banques augmentent à la place. C’est normal quand on pense que notre enfant est possédé du démon au point de le tuer. La GRC fume les cigarettes de contrabande toxiques et s’en suit la censure des leurs rapports au peuple. C’est pas grave, c’est eux qui ont les Tasers si le peuple se révolte. Charest défend l’ALÉNA et ça nous donne un influx de ratons laveurs enragés. On devra les tuer avec nos rideaux de douche toxiques, ou on peut encore demander à la GRC de les descendre avec leurs Tasers (ça cause des arrêts cardiaques). www.mp3surround.com ou www.Winamp.com pour écouter en surround.

You have lost the battery cover to your cellphone, perhaps. Or your daughter needs to have the golden princess doll she saw on television. Now. In a few years, it will be possible to make these items yourself. You will be able to download three-dimensional plans online, then push Print. Hours later, a solid object will be ready to remove from your printer. It’s not quite the transporter of “Star Trek,” but it is a step closer. Three-dimensional printers have been seen in industrial design shops for about a decade. They are used to test part designs for cars, airplanes and other products before they are sent to manufacturing. Once well over $100,000 each, such machines can now be had for $15,000. In the next two years, prices are expected to fall further, putting the printers in reach of small offices and even corner copy stores. The next frontier will be the home. One company that wants to be the first to deliver a 3-D printer for consumers is Desktop Factory , started by IdeaLab, a technology incubator here. The company will start selling its first printer for $4,995 this year.   The Pirate Bay piraté Des pirates ont réussi à voler une liste contenant 1,6 million de noms d’utilisateurs et de mots de passe appartenant aux internautes enregistrés au site The Pirate Bay. Le site Internet, qui recense les fichiers de partage Bit Torrent, a annoncé sur son site Internet qu’un groupe appelé «Arga Unga Hackare» («Jeunes pirates en colère») avait réussi à s’emparer des informations. «Ils ont une copie de notre base de données d’utilisateurs. C’est-à-dire, votre nom d’usager et votre mot de passe. Mais les mots de passe sont encryptés», dit The Pirate Bay sur son blogue ( https://thepiratebay.am/blog/68 ), qui précise: «ils sont très encryptés». Un des responsables du site, Peter, a affirmé à un média suédois que les pirates avaient profité d’un «bogue de programmation», mais que celui-ci a été réparé. N’empêche, le site Internet encourage ses utilisateurs à changer leurs mots de passe aussi vite que possible et, s’ils ont le même mot de passe à plusieurs endroits, à changer ceux-ci également. Mon point par rapport a ca: pourquoi est-ce qu’ont utilise les médias canadiens pour essayer de retrouver un gars qui faisait du vol à l’étalage. Est-ce la vraie raison? Si oui, est-ce que c’est si plate que ça à Sherbrooke? Qu’elle est la vraie raison? http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070514/CPACTUALITES/70514123/-1/CPACTUALITES Était-il vraiment en train de magasiner? Que faisait cet homme dans ayant l’air de faire son magasinage dans les allées d’une pharmacie? Du côté du Service de police de Sherbrooke, on croit qu’il s’adonnait à du vol à l’étalage. Le suspect a été capté par des caméras de surveillance le 24 février dernier, vers 10 h, à la Pharmacie Fortier et Toutant (située au 103, rue Saint-Lambert à Sherbrooke). On rapporte à ce moment un vol à l’étalage. Le SPS demande donc la collaboration du public afin d’identifier le suspect, un homme de race blanche d’environ 40 ans. Il mesure 1,72 mère et pèse 85 kilos. Ses cheveux sont bruns. Pour toute information à ce sujet, on peut contacter les enquêtes du SPS au 819 821-5544. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54758       A roundhouse kick to credit card companies Posted: March 19, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern Though the fastest growing form of slavery is trafficking (recruited or forced transport of people into various types of oppression), the most common form of slavery is debt bondage, which ensnares tens of millions of people in loans they can never pay off. Debt laborers The slope to debt bondage (also known as “bonded labor”) begins by the simple slip of one assuming some form of debt as a term for employment. Once employed, the terms change and become more restrictive, the debt grows, and the employer takes coercive advantage over the employee. As time progresses, so do unfair work conditions and labor hours, and the balance due, accruing with insurmountable interest rates, hardly ever (if not never) reduces.     Le vendredi 25 mai 2007 Le Japon interdit le piratage des films Tokyo Le Japon s’est doté d’une nouvelle loi interdisant l’enregistrement pirate de films dans les salles de cinéma, a indiqué vendredi un porte-parole du Parlement. La loi, promulguée mercredi, interdit l’enregistrement, notamment au moyen de caméscopes, pendant au moins huit mois après la sortie du film. Selon la MPAA, le piratage de films au Japon a coûté 742 millions de dollars à l’industrie du cinéma en 2005. http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070607/CPACTUALITES/70607127/1019/CPACTUALITES La Cour suprême du Canada a décidé qu’un homme d’affaires canadien ne peut invoquer la Charte des droits et libertés pour contester les fouilles effectuées à l’étranger par la Gendarmerie royale du Canada dans le cadre d’une enquête internationale.     http://www.wired.com/politics/law/news/2007/06/spy_room AT&T ‘Spy Room’ Documents Unsealed; You’ve Already Seen Them   A civil liberties group suing telecom giant AT&T for allegedly installing illegal secret surveillance rooms in its internet facilities at the behest of the National Security Agency published substantial portions of long-sealed case documents Tuesday.   Des agents de métro refusent d’intervenir http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070619/CPACTUALITES/70619226 Presse Canadienne Montréal Des agents de surveillance du métro de Montréal ne sont pas intervenus, lundi, à la station Berri-UQAM, lorsqu’un individu a battu sa conjointe devant eux.

Virginia motorists convicted of minor traffic violations will face a new, multi-year tax beginning July 1. Led by state Delegate David B. Albo (R-Springfield), lawmakers slipped a driver responsibility tax into a larger transportation funding bill signed by Governor Tim Kaine (D) in April. Albo, a senior partner in the Albo & Oblon, LLP traffic law firm, can expect to see a significant increase in business as motorists seek to protect their wallet from traffic tickets that come with assessments of up to $3000 in addition to an annual point tax that tops out at $700 a year for as long as the points remain.

The White Paper, prepared in January 2003, lays out plans to install American-friendly media with an Iraqi face and to silence local anti-US news outlets, referred to in the paper as “hate media.” Also released by the National Security Archives were a Power Point presentation outlining the goals of the media plan and other briefing materials. Transformation of Iraq’s media would be accomplished by a Rapid Reaction Media Team, which planners envisioned as a bridge between the state-controlled outlets of Saddam Hussein’s regime and a long-term “Iraqi Free Media” network, which would broadcast America-friendly programming.

Selon cet accord, qui met fin aux actions judiciaires en cours, les sept compagnies d’assurance s’engagent à payer 2 milliards de dollars de montant restant dû, au promoteur Larry Silverstein, détenteur du bail du WTC, en plus de quelque 2 milliards précédemment versés. À l’issue de plusieurs recours, la justice avait déjà déterminé que la société Silverstein pouvait espérer jusqu’à 4,68 milliards. Jusqu’à présent, environ seule la moitié de cette somme avait été réglée, les assureurs contestant le versement du reste. Dès après les attaques, le désaccord était apparu sur le montant des indemnités, Silverstein soulignant que les lieux ayant été victimes de deux attentats, cela signifiait toucher deux fois l’indemnité, soit deux fois 3,5 mds de dollars. Le vendredi 25 mai 2007 De nouveaux détecteurs de mensonge high tech Suzanne Schafer Fort Jackson, Caroline du Sud À l’«école du détecteur de mensonge», sur une base de l’armée américaine, on ne se contente pas de former des spécialistes capables de manier ces machines. On mène également des recherches sur de nouveaux systèmes sophistiqués censés permettre de confondre les menteurs. L’Académie de la défense pour l’évaluation de la crédibilité (Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment – DACA), basée à Fort Jackson (Caroline du Sud), forme des experts au maniement du polygraphe, ou détecteur de mensonge, pour le compte de l’armée américaine et de 23 agences fédérales. Une centaine de nouveaux experts du polygraphe, appelés «examinateurs», sortent chaque année de ce centre du département de la Défense. La DACA dispense également une grande partie des 80 heures de remise à niveau que chacun des 650 «examinateurs» travaillant pour les autorités américaines doit suivre une fois tous les deux ans. Les «élèves» apprennent à étudier la tension, le rythme de la respiration et l’activité des glandes à l’origine de la transpiration, autant d’indicateurs supposés permettre de découvrir les signes d’un possible mensonge chez la personne interrogée. La formation dure 14 semaines. Les soldats de la base servent de «cobayes». Reliés à des capteurs, les militaires sont interrogés lors d’exercices filmés, le détail de certaines de leurs réactions physiologiques apparaissant sur des écrans de contrôle. «Nos étudiants doivent apprendre à poser les bonnes questions pour voir si les soldats disent vrai ou pas», explique Bill Norris, directeur de la DACA. Parallèlement, des chercheurs de l’académie testent de nouveaux appareils expérimentaux. La technique de l’imagerie thermique, qui mesure la température du visage de la personne interrogée à l’aide d’une caméra spéciale, est prometteuse par sa capacité à associer mensonge et changement de température de la peau, selon M. Norris. Une autre technologie porte sur l’étude du mouvement de l’oeil devant une scène familière ou inhabituelle. «Les enquêteurs pourraient peut-être utiliser cette technique en montrant par exemple à une personne la photo d’une scène de crime» pour voir si elle la reconnaît, précise M. Norris. Les chercheurs étudient également un système de «vibrométrie laser Doppler» qui analyse la contraction des muscles, la respiration et l’activité cardiovasculaire. Un laser pourrait ainsi être dirigé vers une artère du cou pour étudier le flux sanguin du sujet à distance, explique Debra Krikorian, biologiste moléculaire de la DACA. Les cyberattaques sont-elles du terrorisme?   AFP  07 juin 2007 – 14h45   L’Estonie proposera à la réunion des ministres de la justice de l’Union européenne la semaine prochaine que les cyberattaques soient considérées par l’UE comme des actes de terrorisme, a indiqué jeudi le ministre estonien de la justice, Rein Lang. «Nous sommes partisans d’assimiler de telles choses à des actes terroristes, comme le font maintenant les Américains», a déclaré M. Lang lors d’une conférence de presse. «Je m’attends à une discussion très intéressante sur ce point» lors de la réunion mercredi, a-t-il ajouté. Le Premier ministre estonien Andrus Ansip a réitéré lors de la même conférence de presse ses accusations selon lesquelles plusieurs attaques informatiques contre des sites d’institutions estoniennes, survenues après le déplacement fin avril d’un monument soviétique à Tallinn, étaient lancées depuis les ordinateurs du Kremlin. MM. Lang et Ansip ont affirmé que ces attaques, indépendamment du fait que le Kremlin en soit conscient ou non, avaient été bien organisées et constituaient une grave atteinte à la sécurité. «Ces attaques sont venues directement des adresses IP du bureau du président russe», a affirmé M. Ansip. «Si les ordinateurs (du Kremlin) étaient utilisés non-intentionnellement, cela veut dire que les ordinateurs de l’administration russe peuvent servir à des attaques criminelles», a déclaré M. Lang. Moscou a démenti une quelconque implication dans les cyberattaques massives qui avaient forcé les autorités estoniennes à fermer temporairement l’accès à leurs sites internet. Plusieurs attaques avaient aussi visé des intérêts privés, comme les banques. À lire aussi: – Acte de guerre cybernétique contre l’Estonie?

The press secretary identified the New York based reporter as having previously asked Giuliani about his prior knowledge of WTC building collapses and ordered New Hampshire state police to arrest him. Jason Bermas, reporting for America: Freedom to Fascism, confirmed Lepacek had official CNN press credentials for the Republican debate. However, his camera was seized by staff members who shut off the camera, according to Luke Rudkowski, also a freelance Infowars reporter on the scene. He said police physically assaulted both reporters after Rudkowski objected that they were official members of the press and that nothing illegal had taken place. Police reportedly damaged the Infowars-owned camera in the process. Reporters were questioning Giuliani staff members on a variety of issues, including his apparent ignorance of the 9/11 Commission Report, according to Bermas. The staff members accused the reporters of Ron Paul partisanship, which press denied. It was at this point that Lepacek, who was streaming a live report, asked a staff member about Giuliani’s statement to Peter Jennings that he was told beforehand that the WTC buildings would collapse.   Le FBI s’attaque aux PC zombies   Marie-Eve Morasse 14 juin 2007 – 16h17   La police fédérale américaine a recensé plus d’un million d’ordinateurs qui servent de PC zombies aux criminels qui oeuvrent sur Internet.   C’est dans le cadre de son opération «Bot Roast» que le FBI a trouvé des réseaux d’ordinateurs zombies qui permettent d’envoyer des millions de pourriels, de voler des identités et d’attaquer des sites Web. Les propriétaires de ces ordinateurs, dont on a retracé les adresses IP, seront contactés par le FBI, qui estime qu’il s’agit une «menace grandissante à la sécurité nationale». «La majorité des victimes ne sont même pas au courant que leur ordinateur a été attaqué ou que leur information personnelle est utilisée», dit James Finch, co-directeur de la division informatique au FBI. Bien qu’elle ait l’intention de contacter les gens dont les ordinateurs ont été infectés, la police fédérale américaine avertit toutefois qu’elle ne contacte jamais les gens par Internet et qu’elle ne demande pas d’informations personnelles. «Méfiez-vous des fraudeurs qui demandent ce type d’information, surtout par courriel», écrit le FBI dans un communiqué. Le FBI exhorte en outre les gens à protéger leurs ordinateurs en installant des antivirus efficaces et en étant vigilants dans leur utilisation d’Internet. Jusqu’ici, l’opération «Bot Roast» a mené à l’arrestation de trois personnes qui auraient utilisé des réseaux de PC zombies à des fins criminelles. La plus connue des trois personnes arrêtées est sans doute Robert Soloway, 27 ans, surnommé le «roi du pourriel». L’homme de Seattle aurait utilisé des PC zombies pour envoyer des millions de pourriels entre 2003 et 2007.

In one instance, hacker tools for stealing passwords and other files were found on two internal Homeland Security computer systems. The agency’s headquarters sought forensic help from the department’s own Security Operations Center and the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team it operates with Carnegie Mellon University. In other cases, computer workstations in the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration were infected with malicious software detected trying to communicate with outsiders; laptops were discovered missing; and agency Web sites suffered break-ins. The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said such problems undermine the government’s efforts to encourage companies and private organizations to improve cyber security. “What the department is doing on its own networks speaks so loudly that the message is not getting across,” Thompson said. Congressional investigators, expected to testify Wednesday during an oversight hearing about the department’s security lapses, determined that persistent weaknesses “threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of key DHS information and information systems,” according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office being released later in June. The Homeland Security Department’s chief information officer, Scott Charbo, assured lawmakers his organization was working to prevent such problems. “We need to increase our vigilance to ensure that such incidents do not happen again,” Charbo wrote in testimony prepared for Wednesday’s hearing. “The department takes these incidents very seriously and will work diligently to ensure they do not recur.” The computer problems disclosed to the House Homeland Security subcommittee occurred during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, and occurred at DHS headquarters and many of the department’s agencies, including TSA, the Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Customs and Border Protection and others. The subcommittee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., said break-ins to government computer networks and theft of information are “one of the most critical issues confronting our nation, and we must deal with this threat immediately.” All the problems involved the department’s unclassified computer networks, although DHS officials also have acknowledged to lawmakers dozens of incidents they described as “classified spillage,” in which secret information was improperly transmitted or discussed over nonsecure e-mail systems. http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jul/27-595713.html How to Identify Misinformation   How can a journalist or a news consumer tell if a story is true or false?  There are no exact rules, but the following clues can help indicate if a story or allegation is true. Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory? Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?” Does the story contain a shocki ng revelation about a highly controversial issue? Is the source trustworthy? What does further research tell you? Does the story fit the pattern of a conspiracy theory? Does the story claim that vast, powerful, evil forces are secretly manipulating events?  If so, this fits the profile of a conspiracy theory.  Conspiracy theories are rarely true, even though they have great appeal and are often widely believed.  In reality, events usually have much less exciting explanations. The U.S. military or intelligence community is a favorite villain in many conspiracy theories. For example, the Soviet disinformation apparatus regularly blamed the U.S. military or intelligence community for a variety of natural disasters as well as political events.  In March 1992, then-Russian foreign intelligence chief Yevgeni Primakov admitted that the disinformation service of the Soviet KGB intelligence service had concocted the false story that the AIDS virus had been created in a US military laboratory as a biological weapon.  When AIDS was first discovered, no one knew how this horrifying new disease had arisen, although scientists have now used DNA analysis to determine that “all HIV-1 strains known to infect man” are closely related to a simian immunodeficiency virus found in a western equatorial African chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes troglodytes.  But the Soviets used widespread suspicions about the U.S. military to blame it for AIDS.  (More details on this.) In his book 9/11: The Big Lie, French author Thierry Meyssan falsely claimed that no plane hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.  Instead, he claimed that the building had been struck by a cruise missile fired by elements within the U.S. government.  No such vast conspiracy existed and many eyewitness accounts and evidence gathered on the scene confirmed that the hijacked airliner had struck the building.  But, nevertheless, the book was a best-seller in France and has been translated into 19 languages, demonstrating the power that even the most groundless conspiracy theories can have.  (More details on 9/11: The Big Lie.) Does the story fit the pattern of an “urban legend?” Is the story startlingly good, bad, amazing, horrifying, or otherwise seemingly “too good” or “too terrible” to be true?  If so, it may be an “urban legend.”  Urban legends, which often circulate by word of mouth, e-mail, or the Internet, are false claims that are widely believed because they put a common fear, hope, suspicion, or other powerful emotion into story form. For example, after the September 11 attacks, a story arose that someone had survived the World Trade Center collapse by “surfing” a piece of building debris from the 82nd floor to the ground.  Of course, no one could survive such a fall, but many initially believed this story, out of desperate hope that some people trapped in the towers miraculously survived their collapse.  (More details (http://www.snopes.com/rumors/survivor.htm) on this.) Another September 11 urban legend is that an undamaged Bible was found in the midst of the crash site at the Pentagon.  In reality, it was a dictionary.  But, if a Bible had survived unscathed, that would have seemed much more significant, and been seen by many as a sign of divine intervention.  (More details (http://www.snopes.com/rumors/bible.htm) on this.) Since 1987, the false story that Americans or others are kidnapping or adopting children in order to use them in organ transplants has been widely believed.  There is absolutely no evidence that any such event has ever occurred, but such allegations have won the most prestigious journalism prizes in France in 1995 and Spain in 1996.  (More details on this.) This urban legend is based on fears about both organ transplantation and international adoptions, both of which were relatively new practices in the 1980s.  As advances in medical science made organ transplantation more widespread, unfounded fears began to spread that people would be murdered for their organs.  At the same time, there were also unfounded fears about the fate of infants adopted by foreigners and taken far from their home countries.  The so-called “baby parts” rumor combined both these fears in story form, which gave it great credibility even though there was absolutely no evidence for the allegation. In late 2004, a reporter for Saudi Arabia’s Al Watan newspaper repeated a version of the organ trafficking urban legend, falsely claiming that U.S. forces in Iraq were harvesting organs from dead or wounded Iraqis for sale in the United States.  This shows how the details of urban legends can change, to fit different circumstances.  (More det

Hsu Washington Post Staff WriterThursday, May 10, 2007; Page A12 President Bush issued a formal national security directive yesterday ordering agencies to prepare contingency plans for a surprise, “decapitating” attack on the federal government, and assigned responsibility for coordinating such plans to the White House. The prospect of a nuclear bomb being detonated in Washington without warning, whether smuggled in by terrorists or a foreign government, has been cited by many security analysts as a rising concern since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.   Hundreds Click on Google Ad Promising to Infect Their PCs http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/05/hundreds_click_.html Best white hat scam of the month: security researcher Didier Stevens bought a Google ad six months ago that said, “Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!” 409 people clicked on the ad — people who would have been owned up or infested with malware had Stevens been a true scammer instead of a security geek with a weird sense of humor. Stevens writes: During this [six month] period, my ad was displayed 259,723 times and clicked on 409 times. That’s a click-through-rate of 0.16%. My Google Adwords campaign cost me only €17 ($23). That’s €0.04 ($0.06) per click or per potentially compromised machine. 98% of the machines ran Windows (according to the User Agent string). It’s hard to say whether people clicked on the ad because they assumed it was a joke, or because they simply misread it as an anti-virus ad. Still, the numbers are pretty scary. The other shocker here is that Google, which does quite a bit of policing on ad content, didn’t notice the scammy ad. Stevens says, “I designed my ad to make it suspect, but even then it was accepted by Google without problem and I got no complaints to date.” Apparently, he’s still running the ad, with slightly different experimental parameters. Can’t wait to see what he finds out next . . . http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/05/14/drivebydownload1.png National ID: Biometrics Pinned to Social Security Cards   The Social Security card faces its first major upgrade in 70 years under two immigration-reform proposals slated for debate this week that would add biometric information to the card and finally complete its slow metamorphosis into a national ID. The leading immigration proposal with traction in Congress would force employers to accept only a very limited range of approved documents as proof of work eligibility, including a driver’s license that meets new federal Real ID standards, a high-tech temporary work visa or a U.S. passport with an RFID chip. A fourth option is the notional tamper-proof biometric Social Security card, which would replace the text-only design that’s been issued to Americans almost without change for more than 70 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/6161691.stm   Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men By Damian Grammaticus BBC News, Delhi There is a “lack of awareness” over condom sizes A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

À l’ouverture des marchés intérieurs, mardi matin, le dollar canadien valait 92,12 cents US, en hausse de 0,33 cent. Plusieurs économistes croient que les deux monnaies seront à égalité d’ici un à deux ans.

That is, new oil was being discovered in fields where it previously had not existed.  Scientists, led by Mahlon Kennicutt of Texas A&M University, speculate that the new oil is surging upward from deposits well below those currently in production. “Very light oil and gas were being injected from below, even as the producing was going on,” he said.  Although it is not yet known whether this is a worldwide phenomenon or commercially important, the new discovery suggests that there may be far more oil and gas within the Earth’s core than previously thought.    http://www.detnews.com/2002/editorial/0205/29/a11-500860.htm OIL – A RENEWABLE and ABIOTIC FUEL? “Oil is often called a ‘fossil’ fuel; the idea being that it comes from formerly living organisms. This may have been plausible back when oil wells were drilled into the fossil layers of the earth’s crust; but today, great quantities of oil are found in deeper wells that are found below the level of any fossils. How could then oil have come from fossils, or decomposed former living matter, if it exists in rock formations far below layers of fossils the evidence of formerly living organisms? It must not come from living matter at all!” Crude oil was made to be thought of as “Fossil” fuel by the Nineteenth Century oil producers to create the concept that it was of limited supply and therefore extremely valuable. This fits with the “Depletion”allowance philosophical scam and current day price fixing. During one of our C.S.I.S. “International Nights” (1978) the Common Market Energy boss, M. Montibrial of France, told us that while petroleum was being marketed then for $20.00 per barrel or more, it cost no more than 25 cents per barrel at the wellhead. There is our petroleum problem! We were paying more than $1.50-$1.60 per gallon, one 42nd of a barrel, at that time. ____________________________________________________________________________   http://www.csun.edu/~vcgeo005/Energy.html         http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47675       BLACK-GOLD BLUES ‘Fossil fuel’ theory takes hit with NASA finding New study shows methane on Saturn’s moon Titan not biological “Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil” Previous stories: Huge natural gas field ‘discovered’ in Texas Abandoned oil wells uncapped ( http://www.wnd.com/2005/11/33621/ ) ‘Black Gold’ strikes Big Oil ‘nerve’ ‘Hundreds of years’ of oil available Forget everything you know about oil         http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46888 WND BOOKS Forget everything you think you know about oil ‘Black Gold Stranglehold’ explodes common myths “Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil” is available at ShopNetDaily.     http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:1er0bOeQQSgJ:www.washtimes.com/commentary/20040608-092733-4642r.htm+abiotic+fuel&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=10   Oil unlimited?

This article contains 9 arguments I use to achieve that goal. URL: http://digg.com/design/How_to_convince_a_client_their_site_doesn_t_need_background_music   How to Convince a Client their Site Doesn’t Need Music Posted by Matthew Inman (Oatmeal) ( http://www.seomoz.org/team/matthew ) on Mon (10/2/06) at 06:13 PM Webdev ( http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/29 ) I’ve lost count of how many clients have requested that music be playing in the background of their website.  As a professional web developer with a few too many years of implementing ridiculous requests, I’ve acquired quite a knack for convincing a client that music is a bad idea.  There are obvious exceptions: such as band websites or sites heavily involved in multimedia.  I’m talking about content-rich sites where the user does not expect (or want) a multimedia experience.  The next time a client decides that a bit of oontz-oontz might give them a bit of an  “edge,”  refer to this list to convince them that they’re really just making their site suck. It’s obtrusive:  Having music playing in the background can interrupt whatever is currently coming through the users speakers.  Many people use their computers as media stations that play music and video.  Having this suddenly interrupted is the  equivalent of having a newspaper that jumps off the table and wraps around your head like a facehugger and starts laying headlines in your throat. There’s probably a better example to use when actually speaking to the client, but you get the idea:  It’s forcing something down the users throat they didn’t ask for.   Users expect web pages to contain useful information, not carry a tune. It cuts off when you click around:  Unless you’ve got some kind of hidden frame (if you do, you’ve got bigger problems than music right now), the sound will cut off every time they click from page to page. Not all browsers and operating systems support multimedia content:   There are a lot of older browsers out there on the net that might not support multimedia or will have serious issues playing it. This is a difficult point for the client to argue with because it’s a technical issue.   I always like to present them with the question: “If you had to choose between some users being able to hear music and some having their browser crash OR  having everyone be able to view the site without any issues,  which would you choose?” It slows things down: Having music playing will decrease the performance of the site, especially on slower machines. Not only will this make the user experience poor during their visit, it’ll also make them less inclined to visit your site again for fear it’ll once again transform things into molasses. It’s tacky and unprofessional:  Play to their vanity: having background music was cool in the mid-nineties when the web was first coming together. Now it’s not, it’s considered dated and the mark of an amateur.  If you’re gonna put background music in, you might as well put on a pair of hammer pants.  You’re a fossil, go sit in a museum and fart dust. There’s a reason other sites don’t have music:  Many clients think that since the majority of the web does not play music, by having it on their site they’re being exceptional and will stand out from the competition.  This is wrong, the reason most sites don’t have music playing is because most sites agree that it’s a bad idea.   Just because you’ve never seen a site on the web with a giant kitten for a cursor doesn’t mean that you should be the first one to try. Not everyone may like your music:  What some people consider ambient and pleasant, others may find to be annoying, elevator music. Ask them if they’ve ever surfed myspace:    Ever gotten to someone’s myspace page and found yourself frantically trying to find the STOP button on the music player they’ve embedded somewhere in the abomination they call a profile?   Meanwhile your speakers are blaring some crappy emo song about crying in dark puddles.    Chances are many clients have experienced this firsthand and can directly relate to your frustration.  If this backfires, however, and the client thinks that since myspace is huge and successful that mimicking them is a good idea, point out that they were voted the #1 worst website of 2006 by PC World. It uses up bandwidth: This is hardly an issue nowadays, but if it’s a high traffic site having music may run the risk of putting it over its traffic limit and costing extra money. http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/12360/MSNBC_Calls_Out_Thompson.html The rush to judge games as responsible for the V-Tech massacre was spearheaded by christian conservative and anti-game campaigner Jack Thompson, but now that the (http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/12287/No_Games_Found_in_Shooters_Dorm_at_Virginia_Tech.html) shows Cho didn’t own a single video game, the media are starting to question his fervant accusations. A new article published by media giant MSNBC reads: “it didn’t require much skill for Cho to shoot as many people as he did. After all, eye witness accounts indicate many of the victims were shot at point-blank range. And for all of Thompson’s claims that violent video games are the cause of school shootings, Sternheimer [a sociologist at the University of Southern Calfornia and author of the book “Kids These Days: Facts and Fictions About Today’s Youth”] points out that before this week’s Virginia Tech massacre, the most deadly school shooting in history took place at the University of Texas in Austin… in 1966. Not even “Pong” had been invented at that time. “One thing that people often don’t realize is that in the years since video game sales have really exploded, not only have youth violence rates decreased but violence rates in the U.S. have declined precipitously,” she added. Meanwhile, Sternheimer says the rush to blame video games in these situations is disingenuous for yet another reason. Although it remains unclear whether Cho played games, it seems nobody will be surprised if it turns out he did. After all, what 23-year-old man living in America hasn’t played video games? “Especially if you’re talking about young males, the odds are pretty good that any young male in any context will have played video games at some point,” Sternheimer says. “I think in our search to find some kind of answer as to why this happened, the video game explanation seems easy,” she says. “It seems like there’s an easy answer to preventing this from happening again and that feels good on some level.” The blame game Jason Della Rocca agrees. “Everyone wants a simple solution for a massively complex problem. We want to get on with our lives.” As the leader of an organization that represents video game creators from all over the world, Della Rocca knows the routine all too well. Someone opens fire on a school campus. Someone blames video games. His phone starts ringing. People start asking him questions like, “So how bad are these games anyway?” Of course, he also knows that this is far from the first time in history that a young form of pop culture has been blamed for any number of society’s ills. Rock and roll was the bad guy in the 1950s. Jazz was the bad guy in the 1930s. Movies, paintings, comic books, works of literature…they’ve all been there. Still, Della Rocca believes that people like Thompson are “essentially feeding off the fears of those who don’t understand games.” For those who didn’t grow up playing video games, the appeal of a game like “Counter-Strike” can be hard to comprehend. It can be difficult to understand that the game promotes communication and team work. It can be hard fathom how players who love to run around gunning down their virtual enemies do not have even the slightest desire to shoot a person in real life. “It’s the thing they don’t understand,” Della Rocca says. “It’s a thing that’s scary.”   Un record de vitesse battu sur Internet Que diriez-vous de transférer vos fichiers à la vitesse de l’éclair? Un groupe de chercheurs dirigés par l’Université de Tokyo a battu un record et réussi à transférer des informations sur Internet à une vitesse de 7,67 Gb par seconde. C’est le 30 décembre dernier que les opérateurs du réseau Internet2 ont atteint cette vitesse de transmission, en utilisant un protocole de communication standard. Le jour suivant, l’équipe a battu un nouveau record en envoyant des données à 9,08 Gb par secondes selon un protocole modifié. Les données sont parties de Tokyo, avant de passer par Chicago, Amsterdam et Seattle pour finalement retourner au Japon. Ce n’est pas la fin de la course à la vitesse sur Internet. Le consortium Internet2 envisage de bâtir un nouveau réseau avec une capacité de transmission de 100 Gb par seconde.

Un ancien membre de la police de Vancouver, Rick Crook, a indiqué qu’en octobre 1984 un homme incarcéré dans une autre affaire et espérant se concilier les bonnes grâces de la police lui avait parlé d’un «plan visant à mettre une bombe sur un avion d’Air India». La commission doit examiner les affirmations répétées des autorités canadiennes selon lesquelles «il n’y avait eu aucun avertissement spécifique que ce vol d’Air India ferait l’objet d’un attentat», selon Mark Freiman, conseiller juridique de la commission d’enquête. M. Freiman a déclaré que la commission entendrait au cours des prochains jours une série d’«informations et d’avertissements» venant d’informateurs, des services de renseignement ou de pays étrangers. Selon la chaîne CBC, plusieurs de ces témoignages font état d’avertissements préalables, contredisant la thèse officielle.     Le 23 juin 1985, un Boeing 747 parti de Vancouver à destination de l’Inde via Londres, avait explosé au large de l’Irlande, faisant 329 morts, pour la plupart des citoyens canadiens. Une deuxième bombe destinée à un autre avion d’Air India avait explosé quasi simultanément à l’aéroport Narita de Tokyo, tuant deux bagagistes. Le procès avait conduit à l’acquittement, l’an dernier, des deux principaux suspects, les militants sikhs présumés Ripudaman Singh Malik et Ajaib Singh Bagri, le tribunal ayant jugé les preuves insuffisantes.   http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese354.html It’s been said often that while everyone is entitled to his own opinion, no one is entitled to his own facts. Today, we hear misstatements all the time. Some of them are deliberate lies. Some of them are just mistakes. A House committee has just exposed the terrible fact that Army officials fabricated a story about the death of Pat Tillman and lied through their teeth. The Army knew from Day One that Tillman died from so-called friendly fire, but it was five weeks before Army officials got around to telling the family. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/05/03/bush-to-be-removed-from-welcome-to-texas-signs/ Bush to be removed from ‘Welcome to Texas’ signs. “Two years after writing a law requiring highway ‘Welcome to Texas’ signs to tout the state as the home of President Bush, state Rep.

Les menaces émanant de l’Iran et de la Corée du Nord évoquées par les États-Unis pour justifier l’extension de leur bouclier antimissile en Europe «servent à masquer l’objectif réel du système: un changement de l’équilibre stratégique en leur faveur grâce à la création de conditions pour une utilisation plus efficace de leurs forces stratégiques nucléaires», a estimé le général Balouïevski. «La cible principale du bouclier antimissile en Europe est la Russie», a-t-il relevé, ajoutant que «le déploiement d’éléments de la défense antimissile américaine en Europe est le début d’une nouvelle étape de course incontrôlable aux armements». Les États-Unis veulent installer dix missiles intercepteurs en Pologne et un radar ultra-perfectionné en République tchèque, dans le cadre de leur bouclier antimissile. Ce projet a été très mal accueilli par la Russie qui y voit une atteinte directe à sa sécurité.   Justin Timberlake, Oprah Winfrey, Osama ben Laden, Hillary Clinton, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Tara Banks, Brad Pitt and Sacha Cohen (Borat) are all on but Bush is not. What does that say of a country… Playboy met Couche-Tard dans l’embarras Cachez ce sein que nous ne saurions voir chez Alimentation Couche-Tard. C’est en quelque sorte ce qu’exige une association américaine de militants chrétiens qui vient d’entrer en guerre contre la société lavalloise, propriétaire de quelque 3000 dépanneurs aux États-Unis. La Florida Family Association a lancé la semaine dernière une campagne appelant au boycottage des dépanneurs Circle K aux États-Unis, détenus par Alimentation Couche-Tard. «Jusqu’à ce qu’ils arrêtent de vendre des magazines pornographiques comme Penthouse et Playboy», a indiqué l’association sur son site web et dans un courriel expédié à ses dizaines de milliers de fidèles. «Ces magazines ne sont pas illégaux. Et Couche-Tard a le droit de vendre tout ce qu’il veut si c’est légal», a affirmé le directeur exécutif de l’association, David Caton, interrogé par La Presse. «Mais nous avons le droit de dire que ce matériel est dégradant à l’égard des femmes et fait la promotion de comportements irresponsables. Le droit d’éduquer les gens et de les encourager à magasiner ailleurs», a-t-il ajouté. La Florida Family Association a été fondée par M. Caton en 1987 dans le but d’améliorer et de protéger «l’environnement moral» aux États-Unis. Depuis, avec la collaboration enthousiaste de nombreuses autres organisations de la droite chrétienne, elle s’est dotée d’un impressionnant tableau de chasse.     Lotus unveils the world’s fastest biofuel-powered car (w/ video) Not only is the Lotus Exige 265E the most powerful road version of the Exige ever, it runs on Bio Fuel.

DATA= Thanks, Bill C.       Greetings fellow player!   Thank you for contacting the Shadowbane Customer Care team.   If I understand correctly, you are having difficulties with masturbation, herein refered to as “deliberate fondling of one’s self”, in relation to your son and is age I presume. In order to better assist you and your family, the loving and caring Shadowbane team has compiled a list of very interesting links to help you and your son understand masturbation. Whenever you have time and feel like dealing with masturbation, we invite you to get yourself something to drink (beer preferably), sit down, relax, next to a box of tissues (just in case, you know allergies and such), and casually browse what you want to browse. It is your choice whether to click one link or the other, and the order has no relevance: http://www.hopeforfamily.org/expl_sexuality_to_teen_f01.htm http://www.drspock.com/topic/0,1504,156,00.html And this one by the Domestic Church: http://www.domestic-church.com/CONTENT.DCC/19980701/ARTICLES/SEXUALITY.HTM   So I sincerely hope that you can get a grip with this matter and really explain, while details, pictures and videos are optional, what masturbation is to your son. You might want to have your wife/girlfriend/whore to provide a helping hand, also just in case your son asks about masturbation and women. This way, your son will be armed with powerful knowledge when it’ll be time to “get it on” with the ladies.   You cannot find more information about masturbation in our Faqs at <http://care.ubi.com> Http://care.ubi.com.   Please contact us again if you have any other sexually related problems.   The Shadowbane Customer Caring and Loving team.   ————————————————————————– —————————————–   Ben non! J’ai pas répondu ca…   Voici ma vraie réponse ( je suis pas un sauvage tsé! )   ———————— Good day Mr. Chavez,   I understand the issue that may have arisen with your son but like in any community, you will always get people who do not care about others and will talk and do anything to either provoke or harass. Considering the size of the community, it is difficult to catch all these disruptive players in time to act accordingly. That is why we gave you, the players, the tools to help you deal with this matter until we can. They are not 100% fullproof but they provide a helping hand. Remember that you should always have your profanity filter activated (accessible through your game menu, under settings –> preferences, and check the box next to Profanity filter), or you can choose to ignore the player completely. To do so, in your chat window, type “/ignore player name” (without the quotation marks) and everything that player says will not be displayed in your chat window(s).   I’m sorry for the troubles it may have caused you, and I hope that with these tools activated, you can live amusing and uneventful times with your son through Shadowbane. Good luck. You can find more information about Shadowbane in our Faqs at Http://care.ubi.com <http://care.ubi.com/> .   Please contact us again if you have any other problem.   The Shadowbane Customer Care team. ————————   Not a single video game found.

We can now confirm that not a single video game was found in the dorm room of the killer.

Firstly, the father of Mohammed Atta, who has previously stated that his son is still alive, has <blocked::http://www.adnki.com/index_2Level_English.php?cat=Terrorism&loid=8 .0.346051476&par=> blasted the video as a total fake. “The video-testament of my son is false and I continue to believe he is innocent” Muhammad al-Amir al-Sayd Atta, 71, told Saudi daily al-Watan. “The Americans tampered with and falsified that video” he alleged, ” they want to change the truth in order to achieve their goals in the Middle East.” “There is a big difference between this photo and the images shown by the Americans – that one is not my boy.” he went on to say. In a separate revelation, <blocked::http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/October2006/031006Atta.htm> AP is reporting that an expert on Islamic extremism has deemed the latest Al Qaeda footage as so out of character for al-Qa’ida it could have been taken by a security agency. Diaa Rashwan, an Egyptian expert on militant groups, said he found it strange that the cameraman focused not only on bin Laden but also on his audience. He said al-Qa’ida videos of bin Laden usually focused on him alone. “Was this a video by al-Qa’ida or by a security agency?” Dr Rashwan asked. “I have never seen such a video.” Also questioned is the strangely different appearances of Mohammed Atta and Ziad Jarrah : “Both seem younger, are bearded, and the infamously bleak gaze of Atta, the ringleader, is replaced by a somewhat softer expression.” reports AP. Indeed, the two may even be Dopplegangers, especially given the strange case of Ziad Jarrah, photographic evidence of whom confirms that he was not a 9/11 hijacker.

These are clearly not the same man, there are up to three different people feature\d here! The passport found in the wreckage does not show the face of the Jarrah in the latest video release who is Jarrah #1. As I reiterated in yesterday’s article, Ziad Jarrah’s family http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/meast/09/18/inv.terror.jarrahprovided evidence days after 9/11 that Jarrah, wasn’t even onboard Flight 93 and that if he was, it was only as a passenger who was just as much of a victim as the rest of the people on the plane. Diaa Rashwan is just another in a long list of terror analysts who can smell the stench of fake intelligence agency propaganda from a mile off. In my http://infowars.net/articles/October2006/021006video.htm article yesterday i questioned the contradictions over where this tape originated from, stating “Not questioned also is the fact that although the London Times says it “obtained” the tape, other reports say things like “The video released this weekend was found when the United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001. NBC News has obtained an analysis of the tape by U.S. intelligence experts, which scrutinizes every frame.” It also seems that this tape has been seen before, it is not new. The very same footage of the Rally featuring Osama Bin Laden on January 8th 2000 , features in the docudrama Road to Guantanamo (they are not sure whether its 8/1 or 1/8 in the dramatization). At 1hr and 14 mins into the docudrama, an inmate at Guantanamo Bay is shown the same footage. The dramatization of the experience of three British inmates who were later released and went public, portrays US interrogators forcing Guantanamo Bay prisoners to admit to appearing in fake videos in which their likeness has been doctored to suggest their presence at Al-Qaeda meetings. It was admitted on Sunday that the US Government has had the footage since 2002. See the news report below for this admission and the confusion as to who released it. The media know that the government has had this video since 2002 but they deny reality and engage in literal doublethink by becoming confused over who released it. Note that the reporters also say that Al Qaeda “forgot to add the sound”.They “cannot lip read” the footage and there’s no audio, but they know Atta is reading his last will? How? He could be reading the football scores, it is amazingly pathetic journalism.

Client: “So use a flash intro but stuff text in the meta keywords tag” Search engines stopped caring about meta keyword tags a long time ago–it’s all about what’s actually on the page now. Client: “So use a flash intro but hide keywords in the page” Search engines can figure this out and you can get banned for it. From Google’s http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=3576 9#quality Webmaster Guidelines: Make pages for users, not for search engines. Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as “cloaking.” Search engines won’t be able to spider beyond the splash page If your splash page is done entirely in flash or with some other kind of multimedia plugin, the search engines might be unable to spider your content and your content will be absent from the search results. Straight from the horses mouth I found a great quote on MarketingSherpa http://www.marketingsherpa.com/sample.cfm?contentID=2529  from Jared Spool of User Interface Engineering at Macromedia.  When asked, “Flash intros, good or bad?”, this was his response: When we have clients who are thinking about Flash splash pages, we tell them to go to their local supermarket and bring a mime with them. Have the mime stand in front of the supermarket, and, as each customer tries to enter, do a little show that lasts two minutes, welcoming them to the supermarket and trying to explain the bread is on aisle six and milk is on sale today. Most users immediately click “skip intro” Pretty much everyone I’ve spoken to on the subject of splash pages always admits to immediately clicking “skip intro” before watching the animation they’re presented with.  Newfangled http://www.newfangled.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/3519  did some digging into their access logs and had this to say about their findings: The number one reason for getting rid of our splash page was that it turned away at least 25% of our site visitors, sometimes more. This percentage has actually been researched and it turns out that at least 25% of site visitors will immediately leave a site as soon as they see a  message for a Flash splash screen (even if there’s a ‘skip intro’ link). Our access logs confirmed this for us and this over all the other reasons caused us to get rid of it. The opportunity to improve our creativity was not worth the loss of such a high percentage of visitors. Slower connections will have to wait for the page to load Dialup users are basically screwed (SCREWED!), especially if the skip button isn’t readily available. “Click to Enter” is redundant By visiting your site they’ve already agreed to enter, why do they have to do it again?  It’d be like opening the door to a store only to find another door that says, “haha, just kidding.  Open this door to enter for reals this time.” Minimizing steps You want to minimize the number of steps involved in reaching your offerings. Having an extra click from a splash page does not align with this idea. Content from the splash page can probably work inside the home page Most of the time the splash page can be trimmed down and worked into the homepage of the site.  This is an effective compromise with the client because they get to keep whatever idea they were trying to promote but aren’t necessarily forcing it on the user.  It also wraps the content from the splash page in a uniform navigation (which is good usability). A great example of this is Adobe’s http://www.adobe.com/ website. Uniform navigation – For The Win Most splash pages don’t have the same primary navigation as the rest of the site; some even drastically change the design when you go from the splash page to the real site. This is confusing to users who respond best to navigation that is persistent. Splash pages also enforce the idea that they are visiting two separate sites.

Surrounded by the Cleveland National Forest, the property boasts a former chicken ranch and includes an environmentally sensitive, protected agricultural preserve southeast of San Diego. But if private security contractor Blackwater USA gets its way, this 850-strong community will soon host an 824-acre military training base, replacing the erstwhile chicken ranch with fifteen firing ranges and an emergency vehicle operator’s course the length of ten football fields. A RAW STORY investigation has already led to the removal of one lawyer connected to the project. The inquiry has also discovered that California congressman and current presidential candidate Duncan Hunter — who is the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee — is a client of the firm, Blackwater USA, a massive US security contractor in Iraq. Minutes of a planning meeting raise questions about whether Hunter was involved in lobbying for the project. At the Feb. 8, 2007 planning meeting, Vice President for Blackwater West Brian Bonfiglio said Hunter was one of the firm’s clients. “We talk with Duncan about many things,” Bonfiglio http://rawstory.com/images/other/Potrero%20Meeting%20Minutes%20Raw%20…. pdf said (emphasis in original). Blackwater isn’t a stranger to controversy. In February 2004, families of four security contractors killed in Fallujah, who are suing the firm for information regarding their deaths, testified before the House Government Reform Committee. The private security contractor has seen its federal contract revenues swell since Sept. 11. Six years ago, the firm raked in $250,000; today a single Iraq contract is valued at $300 million. Much of its work takes place in Iraq; the company was at one time responsible for the security of interim Iraq consul Paul Bremer. Blackwater now aims to expand operations by establishing several new training camps in addition to its headquarters in North Carolina. Townspeople and environmentalists are squaring off against the company and public officials. The Potrero Planning Group approved the facility by a 7-0 vote in December – but since then more than half of the town’s registered voters have signed a petition opposing the facility. Residents also say they are organizing a recall against members of the Planning Group who voted in favor. Chairman of the Planning Group Gordon Hammers says he won’t reconsider the board’s decision. “I think it’s good for the community,” he said in a recent interview with the East County Californian. “It provides jobs.” “It will improve the general economy of the community and as a result, improve property values,” he added. Hammers contended that arguments against the project “have absolutely no rhyme or reason” and that some opposition is based on misunderstanding of the project’s scope. In a later email to RAW STORY regarding questions about whether noise would disturb nearby residents, Hammers wrote, “If the good science shows that Blackwater’s claims are true then I will be a proud supporter of a vital partner with law enforcement and the war on terror,” he said in an e-mail. “If good science shows that their claims are not true then they will lose my support.” Internal documents Internal documents acquired by RAW STORY show that the company had discussions about potential “fatal flaws” in the Potrero project in 2006. Of most concern to the company seems to be the camp’s effect on the local eagle population. On page two of an “Internal Working Draft,” the authors identify that the eagle population in the area is a “potential fatal <http://rawstory.com/images/other/internalrawstory1a.jpg> flaw.” This runs in direct opposition to public statements by the company. In <http://rawstory.com/images/other/Potrero%20Meeting%20Minutes%20Raw%20…. pdf> the minutes in which Blackwater’s Vice President admits the company has a contract with Hunter, he remarks, “Has anybody seen eagles?” The firm also identifies a public versus private road “reduced potential <http://rawstory.com/images/other/internalrawstory2a.jpg> to be a fatal flaw” and that plans for traffic had also ” reduced <http://rawstory.com/images/other/internalrawstory3a.jpg> potential fatal flaw.” The opponents Jan Hedlun is the lone Potrero planner opposing the project. Elected in November, Hedlun didn’t vote at the December meeting because she says she wasn’t told she was eligible. “I’m in the middle of a battle,” Hedlun said. “I am a lamb in a lion’s den. They’re pushing this through quicker than anything I’ve ever heard in my entire life.” Although the Potrero Planning Group has met monthly for several years, Hammers has refused to convene an April meeting, saying that only quarterly meetings are required and a quorum can’t be met. When Hedlun pressed Hammers to schedule a meeting in order to allow public input, Hammers responded in an email acquired by RAW STORY, “Jan, get over it. There is not going to be a meeting.” The proposed Blackwater West training facility at Potrero would include 15 firing ranges for automatic and semi-automatic weapons and small caliber guns, as well as an emergency vehicle operator’s course the length of ten football fields — 3,280 feet in length and 1,320 feet in width, according to a project description. The facility would also include bunkhouses and commando-type training facilities, ship simulators, and law enforcement and rescue safety training towers with rock-climbing walls and platforms. Multiple San Diego County records indicate that “hazards” — including “explosives” – “should” be stored in an “armory” at the site. Blackwater West’s Bonfiglio denied that the project would use explosives. “No bombs,” he said. “No tanks, no heavy artillery.” Residents contend Blackwater’s proposal is being fast-tracked through the planning process under streamlined procedures recently adopted by San Diego County to expedite processing of major projects such as housing developments. A public “Notification of Preparation” hearing is scheduled for Apr. 5 at the San Diego Department of Planning and Land Use; citizens have until Apr. 27 to respond. Some residents have voiced concern that the noise from the firing range will disrupt their lives. In response, Blackwater has proposed anti-skid pads and other measures to lessen noise from the driving course, which would operate for up to an hour and a half after sundown. According to Bonfiglio, a helicopter pad would only be used for emergency landings and could benefit the community in the event of a medical emergency. Conflict of interest Residents also raise concerns over the role of San Diego County officials in expediting the project. An article <http://www.sdreader.com/php/cityshow.php?id=1566>  in the San Diego Reader concluded that Potrero residents are being “ambushed” by “county bureaucrats marching alongside Blackwater USA.” Documents filed with the county indicate Blackwater officials have been meeting privately with Department of Planning and Land Use personnel since at least May of 2006. Members of the public in Potrero did not learn of the proposed project until Oct. 12 at the earliest. One whistleblower contends that failure to notify the public until late in the planning process may violate the California Environmental Quality Act; others allege that County planners may have violated the Brown Act, which mandates open meetings. Environmentalist Duncan McFetridge questions why residents weren’t included in early planning. “It is as close to collusion as you can get without actually being illegal,” McFetridge says. “I am convinced that one of the main reasons that Blackwater came to San Diego is that we are the capital of privatization where lines between private and public sectors is a total blur.” “In San Diego we don’t have revolving doors,” he added, “we have tunnels between politicians and profiteers.” A spokesperson for San Diego Supervisor Dianne Jacob denied that Blackwater has received special treatment. “That would be illegal,” the employee said, declining to be named. The streamlined procedures, she said, were created after “ample public input,” in response to complaints that development projects were taking four years for approval. Jacob’s representative suggested that it would be inappropriate for the supervisor to speak with media regarding the Blackwater project, as she may have to vote on it eventually. Several community members noted, however, that Jacob had no such qualms about speaking out against a proposed high-rise Indian casino near her own ranch in Jamul. One citizen opposed to the project revealed that Lori Spar—listed with the California Bar Association as an attorney with a law firm representing Blackwater on July 31, 2006 —has since unexpectedly surfaced as a land use/environmental planner for the Department of Planning and Land Use. “She walked into our Mar. 1, 2007 Save Potrero meeting, representing the County,” said former Potrero planner Carl Meyer. After RAW STORY inquired about her ties to Blackwater, the Department of Planning removed her from the project. Quality of life concerns Area residents express alarm about disruption of their quiet, rural lifestyle and are skeptical of reassurances offered by Blackwater and local officials. Dania Raum purchased property in Potrero three years ago “because it was so beautiful and peaceful.” Asked about the proposed project site, she replied, “It’s a secret, hidden valley. There are wetlands up there and all kinds of raptor birds.” Golden eagles nest 3,500 feet north of the meadow, she observed. Blackwater has offered to supply foraging materials for the eagles. But Raum scoffed at the idea of raptors foraging near a firing range. “Right,” she said. “Those eagles are going to be so gone… I believe we are being railroaded into this disaster.” “Can you imagine tire squealing and crash ’em ups?” she added. “They are pushing this as a night time course … so they will have machine guns going all day and cars going all night.” Raum doesn’t believe Blackwater’s claims that noise can be muffled. “My son was way across the valley on a horse, and I could hear him coughing,” she said. “It echoes for miles up there.” Hammers insists that the planning group is relying on scientific evidence that residents will not hear noise from the proposed facility. A recent noise test was canceled, reportedly due to liability concerns on the part of property owners. San Diego County is now relying entirely on computer models to assess noise levels. Safety and environmental concerns Residents also cite safety issues involving excessive traffic on a winding access road measuring at some points just 20 feet wide. Critics cite high fatality rates on nearby Highway 94 and raise alarm over Blackwater’s plan to bus in local trainees and bring additional people from the airport on shuttles. Blackwater says its vehicles would be no larger than trucks that previously serviced the ranch. Fire safety also concerns locals. Blackwater’s Brian Bonfiglio asserted that the company proposed to local fire authorities a plan to not only shelter-in-place its own employees and facilities in the event of wildfire but also make Blackwater’s site a “safe haven for the community.” However, a February 2007 report on guidelines for wildland fire and fire protection prepared for the County describes shelter-in-place as a “last resort design concept.” Critics warn that the policy could prove a death sentence in the event of a firestorm similar to the nearby 2003 Cedar wildfire, where twelve people died as 300-foot high flames reached temperatures of thousands of degrees. “This strategy has, to my knowledge, never been put to the test on a large scale during a major wildland fire,” Joseph W. Mitchell, Ph.D. of M-bar Technologies and Consulting in Ramona, California wrote in response to the County’s proposal. “There are reasons to believe that it could lead to civilian and firefighter deaths and injuries as currently envisioned.” Duncan McFetridge, of Save Our Forests and Ranchlands, has raised additional concerns about the loss of potentially crucial wilderness areas, noting that national forest lands have shrunk from two million to 650,000 acres. “Meadowlands are the biological heart of our forest,” he said at a recent meeting. “We cannot lose our meadows without losing our forest.” Bonfiglio responded to criticisms on environmental grounds with the observation that no studies have been approved by San Diego County. “There are people concerned about habitat and open space, but they are doing it based on no science, no information,” he said. McFetridge successfully blocked a proposed RV park in neighboring Descanso after citing a study by the University of California, Davis, tracking mountain lion movement. The Potrero valley proposed for Blackwater’s project is also frequented by deer and mountain lion, he said. “This is a contest,” McFetridge remarked. “Blackwater USA is very good at what they do — and Save Our Forests and Ranchlands is very good at what we do. This battle will be won or lost on land use issues.” Citizen activism To win approval of the project, Blackwater must obtain a change in zoning on the property, which is currently zoned agricultural. McFetridge believes the project can be defeated on land use issues and cites data from radio-tracking of cougars that highlights the sensitive nature of meadowlands on the property. Other groups have also joined the battle to block Blackwater’s camp. “I will work hard to block this deal,” said Raymond Lutz, head of Citizens Oversight Panels, a grassroots organization. “Blackwater is well known as one of the most egregious violators of human rights in the Iraq War … We don’t need a `black-ops’ training camp in San Diego.” Bob Davis, a member of the San Diego Peace & Justice Coalition, fears that civil disobedience may be needed to halt the project, stating “We may have to put our bodies on the line.” Citizens are organizing opposition and public protests for the Apr. 5 meeting at the Department of Planning and Land Use. “You can bet that Blackwater is lobbying the DPLU and its staff,” Sierra Club land use committee chair Jeanette Hartman said. “Your only hope is to lobby back. Fight everything. If you don’t, they’ll just roll right over you here.” Correction: Due to an editing error, Lori Spar’s status change was incorrectly identified. She was removed from the Blackwater project, not the planning board. <http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070409/CPACTUALITES/70409029/1019… UALITES> Peter MacKay : la mort des soldats canadiens est «le prix de la liberté» La mort dimanche de six soldats canadiens en Afghanistan, journée la plus meurtrière dans ce pays pour le Canada, est «le prix de la liberté», a affirmé lundi le ministre des Affaires étrangères Peter MacKay, comparant la mission afghane à la bataille de la crête de Vimy, en 1917 en France. ur<x>l: http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070409/CPACTUALITES/70409029/1019… ALITES

Hantés par les horreurs de ce conflit, ils tentent de refaire leur vie même si, jusqu’ici, Ottawa refuse de leur accorder l’asile politique. La Cour d’appel fédérale se penche aujourd’hui sur le cas de ces « réfugiés », que notre journaliste a rencontrés à Toronto. Contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire, Dean Wolcott est dans une forme resplendissante. Il dort dans une étroite cuisine d’une propreté douteuse, sur un vieux canapé fleuri qui empêche la porte du four de s’ouvrir. Il reçoit de l’aide sociale depuis peu, n’a pas de permis de travail et a besoin d’antidépresseurs pour fonctionner en société. Le comble : il ne pourra peut-être plus jamais retourner dans son pays d’origine, les États-Unis, sans se faire jeter en prison. Pourtant, Dean, âgé de 25 ans, nous assure qu’il va très bien. Lorsqu’on le questionne, il nous répond généralement avec le ton désinvolte et l’air serein d’un homme profondément soulagé. « C’est comme si j’étais redevenu moi-même. Je peux marcher dans les rues d’une ville et y prendre plaisir. Il y a longtemps que ça m’était arrivé. » Il y a quatre mois, Dean a retrouvé sa vie d’homme libre. Il fait partie des quelques centaines de déserteurs de l’armée américaine qui ont trouvé refuge au Canada depuis le début des guerres en Irak et en Afghanistan. Ingénieur en électronique, il a séjourné deux fois au pays de Saddam Hussein depuis 2003. Mais c’est en Allemagne qu’il a découvert l’horreur de ce conflit. Là où l’armée américaine traite ses blessés les plus graves. On l’avait nommé officier de liaison responsable des contacts entre ces victimes et leurs familles. « La plupart étaient là en raison de graves brûlures. À un point tel que, dans certains cas, on ne pouvait même pas dire qu’il s’agissait d’êtres humains », se souvient-il. À l’abattoir Ce jeune homme originaire du Connecticut a pété les plombs, mais il a néanmoins continué à servir son pays. Jusqu’au moment où, de retour aux États-Unis, on lui a demandé d’entraîner les réservistes – des Américains qui consacrent généralement deux jours par mois à leur carrière militaire – pour les expédier en Irak. « Des enfants de 17 à 22 ans », lance l’ancien soldat, qui pourrait lui-même passer pour un adolescent. Avec son visage poupin, son jean trop large et son ample kangourou bleu, il ressemble plus au rappeur Eminem qu’à un militaire. Ces réservistes allaient hériter des tâches les plus ingrates en Irak. Ramasser les restes des soldats tués par les bombes des insurgés, par exemple. « Ça voulait dire les envoyer à l’abattoir », dit-il. C’était l’automne dernier. Dean, qui dit s’être enrôlé avant tout faute d’argent pour payer ses études, a alors cherché un moyen de s’en sortir. Il a découvert sur le Web que son salut passerait par Toronto. Plus précisément par la War Resisters Campaign : une trentaine de bénévoles qui accueillent les militaires américains désabusés. Dean partage d’ailleurs l’appartement de l’un d’eux, organisateur communautaire de 23 ans. Environ 45 soldats américains ont fait appel à cet organisme depuis sa création en 2004 à Toronto. La plupart de ces militaires ont d’ailleurs trouvé refuge dans la Ville reine. De nombreux autres soldats vivraient illégalement au Canada, affirment les responsables de l’organisme. Entre 200 et 300, estiment-ils d’après le volume d’appels reçus. Déserteurs déboutés Quatre ans après le début du conflit en Irak, quelques mois après l’annonce de l’envoi de renforts par George W. Bush, le nombre de déserteurs en sol canadien augmente rapidement. « Depuis octobre dernier, nous en accueillons un, parfois deux par semaine », indique le coordonnateur de la campagne, Lee Zaslofsky. Ce sexagénaire coloré et exubérant accueille les déserteurs dans un petit bureau situé tout près de l’Université de Toronto. Il a lui-même traversé la frontière en 1970, pour fuir la guerre du Vietnam. Il se souvient de ses débuts euphoriques au Canada. « Quand on arrive ici, on n’a plus la pression de l’armée et on se sent en sécurité parce qu’on ne sera pas arrêté. On sent aussi qu’on fait un nouveau départ avec des possibilités infinies », explique-t-il. Un état d’esprit temporaire, ajoute ce déserteur. Après un certain temps, le quotidien s’installe et le naturel revient au galop, avec son lot de stress et d’inquiétudes. L’avenir des nouveaux venus au Canada demeure par ailleurs incertain. L’accueil officiel du Canada n’a pas été très chaleureux. La Commission de l’immigration et du statut de réfugié du Canada (CISR) a jusqu’ici refusé l’asile politique à tous les déserteurs qui l’ont demandé depuis 2004. Les soldats déboutés – il y en aurait une dizaine – ont tous décidé de contester les décisions rendues par la CISR. Le premier, Jeremy Hinzman, s’adresse aujourd’hui à la Cour d’appel fédérale dans l’espoir d’un jugement en sa faveur. Aucun regret Les responsables de la War Resisters Campaign réclament l’intervention du gouvernement de Stephen Harper. « On demande une politique qui permettrait à tous les résistants à la guerre d’avoir un statut de résident permanent », dit Michelle Robidoux, bénévole rencontrée lors d’une réunion du comité logement de l’organisme, dans un sous-sol d’église. C’est ce qu’avait fait Ottawa à l’époque de la guerre du Vietnam, rappelle-t-elle. Entre 50 000 et 60 000 conscrits en avaient profité pour s’établir au Canada. Même si son sort reste en suspens, Dean Wolcott dit pour sa part n’avoir « aucun regret ». « C’est la première fois en six ans que je me sens utile », lance-t-il. Il collabore dorénavant aux activités de l’organisme qui l’a accueilli, multiplie les entrevues avec les médias et rencontre les étudiants des universités canadiennes pour leur parler de la guerre en Irak. Quatre ans après le début du conflit, il milite activement pour le retrait d’Irak de ses anciens camarades. « Il n’y a plus aucune raison d’être là. C’est une guerre civile et on est au beau milieu de cette instabilité, dit-il. Et notre “nouvelle” stratégie, c’est d’envoyer plus de troupes. En fait, rien n’a changé. » De moi: “L’étincelle?” http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6484279.stm UK sailors captured at gunpoint Fifteen British Navy personnel have been captured at gunpoint by Iranian forces, the Ministry of Defence says. The men were seized at 1030 local time when they boarded a boat in the Gulf, off the coast of Iraq, which they suspected was smuggling cars. The Royal Navy said the men, who were on a routine patrol in Iraqi waters, were understood to be unharmed. The Foreign Office has demanded the immediate and safe return of the men, who are based on HMS Cornwall. That vessel’s commander, Commodore Nick Lambert, said he was hoping there had been a “simple mistake” over territorial waters. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they British personnel were in Iraqi territorial waters. Equally, the Iranians may claim they were in Iranian waters. “I hope we find this is a simple misunderstanding at the tactical level.” Helicopters had reported seeing two British boats being moved to Iranian bases and there had been no evidence of fighting, he added. He said that despite scant communication, the 15 people were understood to be safe and had reacted in an “extremely professional way, in line with the rules of engagement”. “I look forward to seeing them on their return and congratulating them.” He said naval authorities were doing everything possible to ensure their safe return. The Ministry of Defence said: “The group boarding party had completed a successful inspection of a merchant ship when they and their two boats were surrounded and escorted by Iranian vessels into Iranian territorial waters. “We are urgently pursuing this matter with the Iranian authorities at the highest level. “The British government is demanding the immediate and safe return of our people and equipment.” Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has summoned the Iranian ambassador in London to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, in an attempt to get the men released as quickly as possible. In a statement, leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell, also called for their immediate release. “Whatever the rights and wrongs of military action, British forces in Iraq are now there with the authority of a UN security council resolution… and the Iranian government should be left in no doubt of the serious implications of their action,” he said. The incident comes as British Army Colonel Justin Masherevski, who is based in Iraq, says most of the violence against UK forces in Basra is being engineered by Iranian elements. Col Masherevski said Iran was providing “sophisticated weaponry” to insurgents and “Iranian agents” were paying local men to attack British troops. In 2004, Iran detained eight British servicemen for three days after they allegedly strayed over the maritime border. The UK claimed the men were “forcibly escorted” into Iranian territorial waters. While they were being held, the men were paraded blindfold and made to apologise on Iranian TV before their release was agreed. The BBC’s diplomatic correspondent James Robbins said the difference this time, and a cause of concern, is that the present Iranian government under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was much more hardline. “The political climate is worse with Britain among those confronting Iran over its controversial nuclear programme,” he added. http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070323/CPMONDE/70323222/1014/CPMONDE Mexico propose d’échanger son 9 mm contre un ordinateur Agence France-Presse Mexico Les habitants de la ville de Mexico pourront à partir de la semaine prochaine échanger leur arme à feu contre un ordinateur et un programme Microsoft dans le cadre d’un plan de lutte contre la violence annoncé vendredi par la municipalité. Pour avoir droit à l’ordinateur, il faudra toutefois proposer une arme d’un calibre d’au moins 9 mm. Si l’arme est d’un calibre inférieur, son propriétaire recevra 2500 pesos (un peu plus de 200 euros) et un panier de produits alimentaires pour une valeur de 500 pesos (environ 35 euros). Le plan a été bouclé la semaine dernière lors de la visite de Bill Gates, le patron de Microsoft, à Mexico où il a rencontré le maire de gauche de la capitale, Marcelo Ebrard. Notre objectif «est de réduire la violence et l’usage des armes à feu dans les rues de la ville», explique un communiqué de la sécurité publique de la capitale. Chaque possesseur d’une arme de gros calibre recevra donc un «office» Microsoft et une encyclopédie informatique. http://news.wired.com/dynamic/stories/F/FRANCE_UFOS?SITE=WIRE&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT Le GEIPAN publie ses archives sur Internet 22 mars – Après 30 ans de collecte de témoignages et d’enquêtes sur le terrain, le Groupement pour l’Etude et l’Information sur les Phénomènes Aérospatiaux Non identifiés (GEIPAN) publie aujourd’hui ses archives sur Internet. France Puts Secret UFO Archive on Web PARIS (AP) — The saucer-shaped object is said to have touched down in the south of France and then zoomed off. It left behind scorch marks and that haunting age-old question: Are we alone? This is just one of the cases from France’s secret “X-Files” – some 100,000 documents on supposed UFOs and sightings of other unexplained phenomena that the French space agency is publishing on the Internet. France is the first country to put its entire weird sightings archive online, said Jacques Patenet, who heads the space agency’s UFO cell – the Group for Study and Information on Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena. Their oldest recorded sighting dates from 1937, Patenet told The Associated Press in an interview Friday. The first batch of archives went up on the agency’s Web site this week, drawing a server-busting wave of traffic. “The Web site exploded in two hours. We suspected that there was a certain amount of interest, but not to this extent,” Patenet said. The archive includes police and expert reports, witness sketches (some are childlike doodlings), maps, photos and video and audio recordings. In all, the archive has some 1,650 cases on record and about 6,000 witness accounts. The space agency, known by its French initials CNES, said it is making them public to draw the scientific community’s attention to unexplained cases and because their secrecy generated suspicions that officials were hiding something. “There’s always this impression of plots, of secrets, of wanting to hide things,” Patenet said. “The great danger would be to leave the field open to sects and charlatans.” He said many cases were unexplained lights in the sky. “Only 20 to 30” could be classified as “Objet Volant Non Identifie” – UFOs that appeared to be physical objects, leaving “marks on the ground, radar images,” he said. Even Charles de Gaulle, France’s wartime hero who became president, got the UFO bug. “In 1954, there was a wave of sightings of phenomena in France, and it went up to the highest levels of state. Gen. de Gaulle himself assigned … an aide and told him, ‘Look into this for me, study it to see if something needs to be done,'” Patenet said. That year, there were hundreds of sightings over several months, but generally there are 50 to 100 reported each year. Only 9 percent of France’s strange phenomena have been fully explained, the agency said. Experts found likely reasons for another 33 percent, and 30 percent could not be identified for lack of information. Other cases were impossible to crack. The most baffling were labeled “Class D aerospace phenomena” – which the agency defines as “inexplicable despite precise testimonies and the (good) quality of material information gathered.” Some 28 percent of sightings fall into this category. Patenet singled out the January 1981 case of the saucer-shaped object that a witness said he saw land in Trans-en-Provence, a village inland from the French Riviera. Some 8 feet across, the zinc-colored object made a whistling noise as it landed. The witness later drew a picture: It resembled a wok with a lid and legs. “The machine stayed a few seconds on the ground and then left very quickly but it left marks that were analyzed and allowed us to determine that the ground had been heated up, that the object must have weighed several hundred kilos (pounds), and that surrounding plants underwent biological changes,” said Patenet. “So something really happened. It really defies analysis,” he said. The agency said everything in the archive would be published, except for psychological reports about witnesses and their names. Most of the time, witnesses were sincere about what they saw, Patenet said. “Very few look for publicity because they fear most of all that they will not be taken seriously.” Still, there were frauds. In 1979, in Cergy-Pontoise outside Paris, a man showed up at a police station claiming his friend had been abducted by a UFO – a bright light that appeared on the road and swallowed up his car. Several days later, the man purportedly reappeared in a field, emerging out of a sphere of light. Investigators went so far as to test the man’s blood for signs that he had recently experienced weightlessness – and they found none. The agency labeled it a hoax. Some cases took years to unravel. In 1985, two farmers near the Atlantic coastal city of Royan saw a burning object drop into a field nearby. Experts initially concluded that it was part of the propulsion device of a recently launched satellite. Eventually they realized it was a piece of German World War II ordnance that spontaneously exploded four decades after the war. Among the unexplained cases, one of the most perplexing concerned a 1994 Air France flight. While flying over the Paris region, the crew noticed a large brown-red disk hovering on the horizon and constantly changing shape. The case “has never been explained to this day, and leaves the door open to all possible hypotheses,” the agency wrote. So, do we have neighbors out there, after all? “I don’t have an answer to that,” said Patenet. “Even if there is such a planet, given the size of the universe, what is the probability that two civilizations … will meet or come across each other? I really don’t know. It’s very complicated. It’s incalculable.” ———— Le site de l’agence spatiale francaise est tres long a loader a cause de l’immense intérêt: https://cnes.fr/fr http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070326/CPINSOLITE/70323116/0 Deux chiens renifleurs de disques piratés menacés de mort Associated Press Kuala Lumpur Leur museau est mis à prix.

Selon le New Strait Times, les chiens renifleurs, prêtés pour un mois par la Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), ont été installés dans un endroit sûr après que les autorités eurent appris que les têtes des deux chiens étaient mises à prix. Le montant de la somme offerte aux chasseurs de primes n’a pas été révélé. «Les chiens sont une véritable menace» pour les pirates, ce qui explique qu’une récompense ait été promise pour leur élimination, explique Firdaus Zakaria, du ministère du Commerce intérieur et des affaires de consommation. C’est la première fois au monde que des autorités font appel à des chiens pour mettre la main sur des disques de contrebande, selon Mike Ellis, directeur régional de la MPAA.

Last week the group announced its support for the “Curb Illegal Downloading on College Campuses Act (2007),” and MPAA head Dan Glickman said that his organization would work with school administrators to put an end to movie piracy on campuses, which Glickman says costs the industry $500 million annually. Most telling, the group has heard the call of Representative Howard Berman and has compiled a list of the most piracy-ridden schools in higher education. This is a page straight out of the RIAA playbook. Here they are, the schools that made the MPAA’s “dishonor roll” and the number of students identified as making unauthorized use of copyrighted materials: 1. Columbia University – 1,198 2. University of Pennsylvania – 934 3. Boston University – 891 4. University of California at Los Angeles – 889 5. Purdue University – 873 6. Vanderbilt University – 860 7. Duke University – 813 8. Rochester Institute of Technology – 792 9. University of Massachusetts – 765 10. University of Michigan – 740 11. University of California at Santa Cruz – 714 12. University of Southern California – 704 13. University of Nebraska at Lincoln – 637 14. North Carolina State University – 636 15. Iowa State University – 586 16. University of Chicago – 575 17. University of Rochester – 562 18. Ohio University – 550 19. University of Tennessee – 527 20. Michigan State University – 506 21. Virginia Polytechnic Institute – 457 22. Drexel University – 455 23. University of South Florida – 447 24. Stanford University – 405 25. University of California at Berkeley – 398 A number of schools have the dubious distinction of being on both the MPAA and the RIAA list. The overachievers are: Ohio University (#1 RIAA/#18 MPAA), Purdue University (#2, #5), University of Nebraska at Lincoln (#3/#13), UMASS (#6/#9), Michigan State (#7/#20), North Carolina State (#9/#14), University of South Florida (#11/#23), Boston University (#15/#3), and the University of Michigan (#18/#10). In all, 10 schools appear on both lists, and Purdue University wins the Gold Medal for highest overall ranking between the two combined. Whether or not the MPAA will get into the trenches and follow the RIAA’s pre-litigation strategy is not yet clear, and historically the MPAA has been less eager to wage a public campaign against file sharing. But like Santa, the MPAA is making a list and checking it twice… the question is, are they merely humoring Representative Berman or planning something more aggressive? http://www.mondialisation.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=GRA20070330&articleId=5231 Le plus grand déploiement de forces navales des Etats-Unis aux larges des côtes iraniennes Mondialisation.ca, Le 30 mars 2007 Granma internacional BAGDAD, le 27 mars. – Les Etats-Unis ont commencé aujourd’hui, dans les eaux du Golfe Persique, des manœuvres militaires considérées comme le plus grand déploiement de ses forces navales dans cette région depuis le début de la guerre contre l’Irak en 2003, a rapporté PL.

By MIKE WHITNEY Wouldn’t you like to know where Dick Cheney puts his money? Then you’d know whether his “deficits don’t matter” claim is just baloney or not. Well, as it turns out, Kiplinger Magazine ran an article based on Cheney’s financial disclosure statement and, sure enough, found out that the VP is lying to the American people for the umpteenth time. Deficits do matter and Cheney has invested his money accordingly. The article is called “Cheney’s betting on bad news” and provides an account of where Cheney has socked away more than $25 million. While the figures may be estimates, the investments are not. According to Tom Blackburn of the Palm Beach Post, Cheney has invested heavily in “a fund that specializes in short-term municipal bonds, a tax-exempt money market fund and an inflation protected securities fund. The first two hold up if interest rates rise with inflation. The third is protected against inflation.” Cheney has dumped another (estimated) $10 to $25 million in a European bond fund which tells us that he is counting on a steadily weakening dollar. So, while working class Americans are loosing ground to inflation and rising energy costs, Darth Cheney will be enhancing his wealth in “Old Europe”. As Blackburn sagely notes, “Not all bad news’ is bad for everybody.” This should put to rest once and for all the foolish notion that the “Bush Economic Plan” is anything more than a scam aimed at looting the public till. The whole deal is intended to shift the nation’s wealth from one class to another. It’s also clear that Bush-Cheney couldn’t have carried this off without the tacit approval of the thieves at the Federal Reserve who engineered the low-interest rate boondoggle to put the American people to sleep while they picked their pockets. Reasonable people can dispute that Bush is “intentionally” skewering the dollar with his lavish tax cuts, but how does that explain Cheney’s portfolio? It doesn’t. And, one thing we can say with metaphysical certainty is that the miserly Cheney would never plunk his money into an investment that wasn’t a sure thing. If Cheney is counting on the dollar tanking and interest rates going up, then, by Gawd, that’s what’ll happen. The Bush-Cheney team has racked up another $3 trillion in debt in just 6 years. The US national debt now stands at $8.4 trillion dollars while the trade deficit has ballooned to $800 billion nearly 7% of GDP. This is lunacy. No country, however powerful, can maintain these staggering numbers. The country is in hock up to its neck and has to borrow $2.5 billion per day just to stay above water. Presently, the Fed is expanding the money supply and buying back its own treasuries to hide the hemorrhaging from the public. Its utter madness. Last month the trade deficit climbed to $70 billion. More importantly, foreign central banks only purchased a meager $47 billion in treasuries to shore up our ravenous appetite for cheap junk from China. Do the math! They’re not investing in America anymore. They are decreasing their stockpiles of dollars. We’re sinking fast and Cheney and his pals are manning the lifeboats while the public is diverted with gay marriage amendments and “American Celebrity”. The American manufacturing sector has been hollowed out by cutthroat corporations who’ve abandoned their country to make a fast-buck in China or Mexico. The $3 trillion housing (equity) bubble is quickly loosing air while the anemic dollar continues to sag. All the signs indicate that the economy is slowing at the same time that energy prices continue to rise. This is the onset of stagflation; the dreaded combo of a slowing economy and inflation. Did Americans really think they’d be spared the same type of economic colonization that has been applied throughout the developing world under the rubric of “neoliberalism”? Well, think again. The American economy is barrel-rolling towards earth and there are only enough parachutes for Cheney and the gang. The country has lost 3 million jobs from outsourcing since Bush took office; more than 200,000 of those are the high-paying, high-tech jobs that are the life’s-blood of every economy. Consider this from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) June edition of Foreign Affairs, the Bible of globalists and plutocrats: “Between 2000 and 2003 alone, foreign firms built 60,000manufacturing plants in China. European chemical companies, Japanese carmakers, and US industrial conglomerates are all building factories in China to supply export markets around the world. Similarly, banks, insurance companies, professional-service firms, and IT companies are building R&D and service centers in India to support employees, customers, and production worldwide.” (“The Globally integrated Enterprise” Samuel Palmisano, Foreign Affairs page 130) “60,000 manufacturing plants” in 3 years?!? “Banks, insurance companies, professional-service firms, and IT companies”? No job is safe. American elites and corporate tycoons are loading the boats and heading for foreign shores. The only thing they’re leaving behind is the insurmountable debt that will be shackled to our children into perpetuity and the carefully arranged levers of a modern police-surveillance state. Welcome to Bush’s 21st Century gulag; third world luxury in a Guantanamo-type setting. Take another look at Cheney’s investment strategy; it tells the whole ugly story. Interest rates are going up, the middle class is going down, and the poor dollar is headed for the dumpster. The country is not simply teetering on the brink of financial collapse; it is being thrust headfirst by the blackguards in office and their satrapies at Federal Reserve.

The results: six out of 10 hospitals in Hangzhou, the capital of the rich coastal province of Zhejiang, visited by the reporters over a two-day period this month concluded that the patients’ urinal tracts were infected. Five of the hospitals prescribed medication costing up to 400 yuan ($50), the online edition of the semi-official China News Service (www.chinanews.com) said in a report seen on Wednesday. Of the hospitals, four were state-owned. “It makes one shiver all over even though it’s not cold,” the China News Service said after its reporters and colleagues from Zhejiang Television tested the hospitals. The Southern Metropolis Daily newspaper said in a commentary on Wednesday: “Healthy people are diagnosed with diseases. Small ailments are said to be serious problems. Patients have become automatic teller machines for the hospitals.” The failure of health reforms and rising costs of medical care have sparked social discontent and become flashpoints for unrest in the world’s most populous nation, where millions cannot afford to consult doctors or buy medicine. Health Minister Gao Qiang has accused greedy hospitals of charging excessive fees and prescribing unnecessary and expensive medication. Market reforms in the past two decades have cut off state subsidies to many hospitals and left the health care system in need of life support. State media have reported patients committing suicide because they cannot afford exorbitant medical costs. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23390052-details/Chatroom+users+%27egged+on+father+who+killed+himself+live+on+webcam%27/article.do Chatroom users ‘egged on father to kill himself live on webcam’ 23.03.07 Add your view A father-of-two hanged himself live over the internet in Britain’s first ‘cyber suicide’. Kevin Whitrick, 42, took his life after being goaded by dozens of chatroom users from across the world who initially believed he was play acting. But as they watched in horror, Mr Whitrick climbed onto a chair, smashed through a ceiling and then hanged himself with a piece of rope. Scroll down for more Kevin Neil Whitrick, 42, was found dead by police in Wellington, after being alerted by a web user who is thought to have watched in horror as the man harmed himself Stunned by what they had witnessed – broadcast on a popular chatroom website used by millions of people across the globe – chatroom users immediately contacted the police. Officers rushed to the electrician’s home in the Wellington area of Shropshire within minutes, smashing down the door to try to save him. Kevin Whitrick had two 12-year-olds who he visited regularly But despite their efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Last night it emerged that Mr Whitrick had been suffering from depression after being badly injured in a car crash last year. Friends said that the breakdown of his marriage with wife, Paula – with whom he had 12-year-old twins – and the recent death of his father had also been causing him some distress. Mr Whitrick told users of web-chat site PalTalk what he was going to do two hours before he killed himself on Wednesday night. He was logged on with around 50 other users to a special “insult” chatroom where people “have a go at each other”. Today distraught users of the site said that they felt sick and had previously thought the web broadcast was a hoax. They confirmed Mr Whitrick told friends in the internet chat room of his plans to kill himself but, thinking he was joking, they egged him on telling him to make sure the his webcam was on. Mr Whitrick, using the user-name Shyboy-17-1, switched on his webcam and went ahead with his grisly plan. One anonymous user said: “He tied a rope around an uncovered ceiling joist and stood on the chair as he tied the rope around his neck. “Some of us chatroom users, talking to Kevin over text chat, microphones and video tried to convince him to step down, but others egged him on telling him to get on with it. “We just couldn’t believe he was doing it – it was surreal. “One chatter said: ‘F***ing do it, get on with it, get it round your neck. For F***’s sake he can’t even do this properly’.” Another user who did not wish to be named said: “When Kevin stepped off the chair and was left dangling, the mood in the chatroom changed and people began to realise what they had just seen. “We started asking if anyone knew where he lived and saying they should contact the police. “I think someone contacted the police in their local area but sadly no one could get to him in time.” Shortly after, moderators on the site closed the feed from Kevin’s webcam. ‘Considerate and kind’ Mr Whitrick had been living in his flat, a converted house, after splitting from his wife Paula two years ago. The couple, who married in 1988, had 12-year-old twins Lewis and Melissa who live with their mother in a three-bedroom, semi-detached home close by. They are said to have visited their dad, who worked at family firm RMW electrical services in Shrewsbury, at weekends. His older brother Malcolm Whitrick is an associate director at Shrewsbury Town Football Club. Kevin Whitrick’s sparse profile on the paltalk website Last night Mrs Whitrick said: “Kevin was a loving father and family man. He was always the life and soul of the party, an extremely considerate and kind person and loved by many, he will be so sadly missed by us all. “Unfortunately Kevin had a very serious car accident in July 2006 and had never fully recovered back to full health.” Mr Whitrick’s stepmother Betty Whitrick, 74, told the Mail: ‘Kevin was a bubbly kind of person, full of fun. I just don’t know why he would do this. “He lived alone but he always cheerful when I saw him. I knew he was very into computers and he also used to like playing bowls.” Detective Chief Inspector Jon Groves who is leading the investigation said: “Our enquiries to date have revealed that Mr Whitrick was using a chat room with a number of other people at the time of his death. “We are liasing with the internet service provider at this time to contact other users who were online at the time of this incident and who may have information that could assist our enquiries. “We are also working to ensure that witness support facilities are available to those who may have been affected by what they saw.” Sharon Atwal, who works in a cornershop opposite Mr Whitrick’s flat, described him as “subdued” the last time she saw him. She said: “Every night he’d take eight cans of Boddington’s bitter from the fridge and re-stock it with the cans from the shelf. He always seemed quite cheerful. “On Wednesday night, though, he didn’t seem himself and it was the first night that he did not re-stock the fridge. It was as if he knew he wouldn’t be coming back. “He always struck me as very happy, he was friendly and had two perfect kids. I cannot believe he has done this.” Her brother Bobby added: “Kevin has lived in the flat for the past year and I have seen him every day without fail. “Last week, he told me about his chat room. He was excited and said he had set it up himself. He said he had been speaking to people in Australia on his webcam. “His two children used to visit at weekends. He had a very good relationship with them and always gave them lots of money to buy sweets.” The case appears to echo that of Brandon Vedas, a 21 year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, who committed suicide online using a mix of alcohol and prescription medication. In that case people in the chat room egged the young man on, while others tried desperately to find his address. Local MP for the Wrekin, Mark Pritchard, said: “This is a very sad and rare incident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. “It is important that the use of the internet in this death is fully investigated.” Des dîners coûteux aux frais de la Banque du Canada Pendant que la plupart des fonctionnaires fédéraux faisaient la file à la cafétéria ou amenaient leur déjeuner de la maison l’an dernier, la Banque du Canada organisait une série de déjeuners et de dîners, à un coût de 70 $ par personne, dans ses salles à manger élégantes. ur<x>l: http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070325/CPACTUALITES/70325084/1019/CPACTUALITES http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070326/CPMONDE/70326131/1014/CPMONDE Mort d’une ex-star de football: neuf officiers accusés Washington Le Pentagone accuse neuf officiers, dont quatre généraux, d’avoir couvert les circonstances de la mort de Patrick Tillman, ex-star de football aux États-Unis, tué en 2004 par d’autres soldats américains en Afghanistan, selon un responsable militaire. L’inspecteur général du Pentagone, Thomas Gimble, et le chef du commandement des enquêtes criminelles de l’armée de terre, le général Rodney Johnson, devaient publier lundi les résultats d’une enquête sur la mort le 22 avril 2004 de Patrick Tillman. Un responsable de l’armée de terre, ayant requis l’anonymat, a confirmé les informations de la chaîne de télévision CBS vendredi selon lesquelles ils ont recommandé de tenir neuf officiers, dont quatre généraux, pour responsables des erreurs commises autour de cette mort. «C’est le chiffre dans le rapport», a dit ce responsable, faisant référence aux neufs officiers, dont quatre généraux. Pat Tillman, 27 ans, membre de l’équipe des Arizona Cardinals, avait mis fin à sa carrière aux États-Unis pour s’engager dans l’armée comme simple soldat au printemps 2002, estimant qu’il devait aller défendre son pays après les attentats terroristes du 11 septembre 2001. Il avait renoncé à un contrat mirifique de 3,6 millions de dollars pour une solde de 18 000 dollars par an. Sa mort, la première d’une célébrité dans la «guerre contre le terrorisme», avait suscité une immense vague d’émotion aux États-Unis. L’armée avait d’abord affirmé qu’il était mort héroïquement dans une bataille contre des insurgés talibans. Des semaines plus tard, elle avait reconnu qu’il avait été tué par des tirs de soldats américains. Un soldat afghan qui se trouvait avec lui avait également tué par ces tirs. De précédentes enquêtes ont montré que les supérieurs de Patrick Tillman ont couvert les circonstances de sa mort et caché la vérité à son frère Kevin qui servait dans la même unité. Ces enquêtes ont indiqué qu’il avait frénétiquement agité ses bras et crié «amis» pour tenter d’alerter ces camarades qu’il s’agissait de lui alors qu’ils lui tiraient dessus. Selon CBS, des dizaines de soldats, dont des officiers de haut rang se trouvant à un poste de commandement tout proche, ont su dans les minutes ou les heures qui ont suivi sa mort que Tillman avait été victime d’un «tir ami». L’armée, cependant, a persisté à raconter à la famille de Tillman cinq semaines après sa mort qu’il avait été tué dans une embuscade, notamment lors des funérailles nationales retransmises à la télévision. La famille du joueur a accusé l’armée d’avoir étouffé les raisons de sa mort. «Ils ont volontairement interféré dans l’enquête en fabriquant une couverture. Je pense qu’ils pensaient pouvoir la contrôler et ont réalisé que leurs efforts de recrutement allaient être complètement sabotés si la vérité sur sa mort était connue», a déclaré par le passé le père de Tillman, Patrick Senior. Les derniers éléments d’enquête sont publiés alors que l’armée de terre sort d’un scandale sur le traitement des soldats blessés à l’hôpital militaire Walter Reed, qui a entraîné le départ du secrétaire à l’armée de terre et de deux généraux. Le secrétaire à la Défense Robert Gates a promis de tenir les dirigeants militaires pour responsables des erreurs commises. Russian intelligence sees U.S. military buildup on Iran border http://en.rian.ru/russia/20070327/62697703.html 27/03/2007 17:31 MOSCOW, March 27 (RIA Novosti) – Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran’s borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday. “The latest military intelligence data point to heightened U.S. military preparations for both an air and ground operation against Iran,” the official said, adding that the Pentagon has probably not yet made a final decision as to when an attack will be launched. He said the Pentagon is looking for a way to deliver a strike against Iran “that would enable the Americans to bring the country to its knees at minimal cost.” He also said the U.S. Naval presence in the Persian Gulf has for the first time in the past four years reached the level that existed shortly before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Col.-Gen. Leonid Ivashov, vice president of the Academy of Geopolitical Sciences, said last week that the Pentagon is planning to deliver a massive air strike on Iran’s military infrastructure in the near future. A new U.S. carrier battle group has been dispatched to the Gulf. The USS John C. Stennis, with a crew of 3,200 and around 80 fixed-wing aircraft, including F/A-18 Hornet and Superhornet fighter-bombers, eight support ships and four nuclear submarines are heading for the Gulf, where a similar group led by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been deployed since December 2006. The U.S. is also sending Patriot anti-missile systems to the region. Inspector Lists Computers With Atomic Secrets as Missing WASHINGTON, March 30 — The office in charge of protecting American technical secrets about nuclear weapons from foreign spies is missing 20 desktop computers, at least 14 of which have been used for classified information, the Energy Department inspector general reported on Friday. This is the 13th time in a little over four years that an audit has found that the department, whose national laboratories and factories do most of the work in designing and building nuclear warheads, has lost control over computers used in working on the bombs. Aside from the computers it cannot find, the department is also using computers not listed in its inventory, and one computer listed as destroyed was in fact being used, the audit said. “Problems with the control and accountability of desktop and laptop computers have plagued the department for a number of years,” the report said. In January, Linton F. Brooks was fired as the administrator of the National Nuclear Security Agency, the Energy Department agency in charge of bombs, because of security problems. The agency was created in the 1990s because of security scandals. When the most recent audit began, the Counterintelligence Directorate was unable to find 141 desktop computers. In some cases, documents were found indicating that the computers had been taken out of service. Previous incidents of wayward computers have also involved nuclear weapons information. But the office involved in this breach has a special responsibility, tracking and countering efforts to steal bomb information. Its computers would have material on what the department knew about foreign operatives and efforts to steal sensitive information. The report includes a response from the security agency that generally agrees with the findings. But the inspector general, Gregory H. Friedman, noted in his report that “the comments did not include planned corrective actions with target completion dates.” A spokesman for the department, Craig Stevens, said Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman “recognizes that we need to manage this place better.” The counterintelligence office was recently merged with the intelligence office to improve operations, Mr. Stevens said.

Three hundred tests were performed over a five-month period in 2006 using two cellular phones, which used different technologies from different carriers and 192 medical devices. Not a single problem was found. The study’s authors say the findings should prompt hospitals to alter or abandon their bans on cell phone use. .. http://feeds.fe     Students at the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai (Bombay) have been told that the college will be turning off the free internet access provided on the campuses 13 student hostels from 11pm to 12.30pm; in an effort to promote socialization and early bed times for undergraduate students URL:     http://infowars.com/articles/ps/china_bbc_hidden_cam_selling_prisoner_organs.htm An undercover investigation by BBC News finds that China has a flourishing trade of organs from executed prisoners.

Elements of a secret French anti-terror team just busted a Mossad operation which was designed to bomb the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland in the first week of October. In the early morning hours of September 21, 2006, an unmarked white van was stopped by Maryland State Police driving north and south and back and forth through the Fort McHenry Tunnel. After being stopped by the police the individual was detained after it took the driver of the van fifteen minutes to produce an Israeli passport, now expired, and an international drivers license also expired. In the backseat of the van was a computer laptop and fifteen different types of sophisticated cameras. Also found in the backseat was a notebook with the Washington D.C phone number to Homeland Security and the phone number to Cable News Network (CNN 2028987900). The Israeli citizen was then sent to the Maryland Co-Ordination and Analysis Center for further interrogation. Note: The phone call that tipped the Maryland State Police came from 1-800-LaFayette-Save America. After twelve hours of interrogation it can now be reported that the Head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, and criminal Attorney-General Gonzales, ordered the release of the Israeli citizen claiming diplomatic immunity for an individual that had an expired drivers license and passport. HOW DARE YOU! YOU TYRANTS AND CONSPIRATORIAL KINGS. It can now be reported that the individual Israeli was a member of an advance team of Mossad that had been ordered to bomb the McHenry Tunnel in early October. This dovetails to a secret meeting on Sept. 12, 2001, at the Hay-Adams Hotel in Washington D.C. in which elements of both British and Israeli Intelligence discussed with a representative of Dick Cheney alleged National Security issues. When is alleged Vice-President Dick Cheney going to turn over his Energy Taskforce notes from Feb. and Mar. 2001 showing Cheney and Con Rice were actually negotiating with the Osama Bin Laden-Taliban government of Afghanistan for an oil pipeline deal through Afghanistan. These negotiations were happening seven months before Sept. 11, 2001 Attack On America. Of course the current President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karazai, was formerly a UNICAL executive. As Governor of Texas, Bushfraud, on three occasions, invited Taliban officials to visit the Governor’s Mansion. So when is Cheney going to turn over these Energy Taskforce notes? Don’t hold your breath just ask the Gang of Five on the U.S. Supreme Court. Retired New Jersey Police Commander Allan Duncan, been hired by 9-11 widows, has now completed his report on 9-11 and named Michael Chertoff co-conspirator in Obstruction of Justice, i.e. the events of Sept. 11. Mossad Agent Chertoff, as then U.S. Attorney in Bergau County, New Jersey in 1998 helped drop charges against an Egyptian arms dealer named Elamir Magy. Magy was the subject of a DEA sting operation called Diamondback, which had fingered Magy and his Egyptian arms dealer handler aka Moshen for narcotics and arms dealing in the New Jersey area. It can now be reported that both Magy and Moshen were actually Mossad agents and FBI Informants. Both were also involved and connected to Osama Bin Laden’s alleged terror network and the smuggling of nuclear suitcase-type explosives into the USA. Despite protests from former President Bill Clinton and former Vice-President Albert Gore Jr. the two Egyptian arms dealers aka Mossad agents were allowed to go free and the charges dropped i.e. direct communications between Chertoff then U.S. Attorney in New Jersey and the then head of the FBI Louis Freeh. HOW DARE YOU! YOU TYRANTS AND CONSPIRATORIAL KINGS Note: Louis Freeh was more concerned about protecting his own FBI Informants aka foreign intelligence agents than protecting the USA. Freeh spent over seven years blackmailing former President Clinton on behalf of the Bush Crime Syndicate. Freeh’s major objective was to blackmail Clinton and utilize criminal box independent counsel Kenneth Starr to frame then Vice-President Albert Gore (now the duly elected U.S. President) for making a phone call from the wrong room. P.S. CONNECT THE DOTS AND DISMANTLE THE BOX. It gets worse, of course. It should be important to note again that it was Chertoff, who in 2001 was then Assistant Attorney-General and compromised FBI Director and punk Louis Freeh, that allowed the 9-11 Urban Moving Systems Dancing Israeli New Jersey gang to go free and escape interrogation vis a vis their role and knowledge of 9-11. PPS – As of July 2001 both Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. Congress had received briefings from then CIA Director George Tenet that major Arab Terror Cells on the East Coast linked to Osama Bin Laden and Mohammed Atta had actually been infiltrated and compromised by the Israeli Mossad. It can now be reported that one of the Democrats aware of the Israeli infiltration of the Arab Terror Cells was none other than Bush’s third cousin John Skull & Bones Kerry-Cohn aka Bush’s 2004 Election Patsy. Question: Can we assume now that Kerry knew about 9-11 before he learned he was half-Jewish? Well just call David Frum. He will figure it out. So what did Bush know and when did he know it? HE KNEW IT ALL FOLKS! And Bushfraud and Chertoff ignored the warnings and allowed what now can be clearly seen as a British-Israeli 9-11 Black Op to go forward and assassinate 3,000 Americans in New York. All you have to do is connect the dots in this criminal box. Stay Tuned More To Come Tonight linking Chertoff to P-Tech Software and the actual compromising of the American Defense Shield on Sept. 11/01.

The implants stimulated different areas of the pigeon’s brain according to signals sent by the scientists via computer, and forced the bird to comply with their commands. “It’s the first such successful experiment on a pigeon in the world,” said the lead researcher, who hopes the work will have “practical use” in the future. In the United States, similar work on animals has been of interest to the military. For example, the pigeon news follows the equally amusing animal tale about the Pentagon’s attempts at creating remote controlled shark spies. Like the Chinese pigeon experiment, the sharks had brain implants used to control their movements. But don’t hold your breath waiting for animal spies to roam the world anytime soon. One of the most infamous would-be animal espionage projects, dubbed Acoustic Kitty, dates back to the 1960s, when the CIA wired a furry feline to eavesdrop. On its trial run, the cat was run over by a car. — Sharon Weinberger UPDATE: Noah here.  Sharon, as an Iowa girl, may be able to look at this development with detached amusement.

In another tale of misguided marketing garnering awful PR, Ontario’s provincial gambling operator has “pulled 87 video slot machines out of service or physically removed them from its casinos” after an investigation found some tricky imagery hidden within. Apparently, a number of Konami slot machines flashed “winning jackpot symbols” for a fifth of a second every so often, purportedly giving players “subliminal messages” that would keep them chucking away coins for longer periods of time. Comically, Konami is asserting that the flashing images are simply a ” software glitch” that will be fixed shortly, which leaves us wondering what else could be ailing these machines for the betterment of the establishment. Regardless, the Ontario-based discovery has spawned several other investigations in the US, British Columbia, and Quebec, but it has “yet to be determined” if the flashing imagery has effected the gameplay of addicts professional gamblers.   MS Tech Support Tell Customer to Use Activation Crack “The Customer Service Manager told me that I could either borrow an XP Home disk from a friend (isn’t that software piracy ??) or look online for one of the many Vista Activation cracks to bypass Vista Activation completely, and specifically mentioned “TimerLock” (um… hey, HE told me to do it !!).

Dr. Christopher Ferguson studied the results of a number of recent studies linking violent video games to aggressive behavior with an eye not just to individual results, but also to overall trends in the studies as a whole. Ferguson found that the connection between violence and gaming had more to do with publication bias than it did with any actual correlation. In other words, journals were more likely to publish studies that supported the hypothesis that playing violent games made a subject more prone to violent behavior. Nothing like scientific stacking the deck, eh? Ferguson sums it up nicely: Thus it was concluded that there is little evidence from the current body of literature on violent video games that playing violent video games is either causally or correlationally associated with increases in aggressive behavior. Expect He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named to jump on this one like a duck on a junebug, folks. Researcher Finds Scant Evidence Linking Violent Games With Aggressive Behavior Researcher Finds Scant Evidence Linking Violent Games With Aggressive Behavior Any scientific link between violent video games and violent behavior remains tenuous. At least, that’s the conclusion of a Ph.D faculty member at Texas A&M International University’s Department of Behavioral, Applied Sciences and Criminal Justice. The researcher, Christopher Ferguson forwarded GamePolitics information about a study he recently completed. In an e-mail, Ferguson wrote: I conducted a meta-analysis of studies associating violent video game exposure with aggressive behaviors.  A meta-analysis involves collecting existing studies in the literature, and obtaining an over all effect size (i.e. degree of relationship) for all of the studies examined.  This allows us to get a sense, not just for individual research projects, but rather for the overall result from combined studies in a field. In the current publication, studies that examined violent video game effects on aggressive behavior were analyzed. Also examined was a phenomenon called “publication bias” which means that scientific journals are more likely to publish studies that support a particular hypothesis than those that reject it. Results from the current meta-analysis found that there were about 25 recent studies on violent video game effects, with conflicting results. Overall results of the study found that although violent video games appear to increase people’s aggressive thoughts (which it would not be surprising that people are still thinking about what they were just playing), violent games do not appear to increase aggressive behavior. This as true for both correlational and experimental studies.  Also it was found that studies that employed less standardized measures of aggression produced higher effects than better standardized measures of aggression.  In other words, better measures of aggression are associated with lower effects. Publication bias appeared to be a significant issue for studies of aggressive behavior.  Thus it was concluded that there is little evidence from the current body of literature on violent video games that playing violent video games is either causally or correlationally associated with increases in aggressive behavior. Ferguson included a copy of his findings, from which the following quotes were lifted: (it) appears that news outlets may promote media violence in general, and video game violence specifically as a direct cause of violent behavior. Despite the relatively young and sparse nature of the research on violent video game effects, some researchers have claimed that the evidence is conclusive… Yet a close read of the literature reveals that many of the studies used to support this link provide only questionable or inconsistent evidence. Part of the problem may be that video game researchers have adopted unreliable methodologies from media violence research in general… Most of the research (particularly laboratory research) employs unvalidated ad-hoc measures of “aggression”.

La Chine et la Russie posent «le plus de problèmes à l’industrie du droit d’auteur», mais «le problème de l’enregistrement non autorisé de films (camcording) dans les cinémas au Canada frôle la crise». Ce constat a été fait cette semaine par l’Alliance internationale pour la propriété intellectuelle (IIPA), un groupe de pression financé par l’industrie américaine du droit d’auteur, la plus importante au monde, dans une lettre envoyée à la représentante américaine au Commerce, Susan Schwab. L’Alliance, qui accuse le Canada de ne pas protéger suffisamment les droits d’auteur, demande aux autorités américaines de mettre le voisin canadien sur la «liste de surveillance prioritaire» des pays fautifs dans ce domaine aux côtés de la Chine, de la Russie et de l’Inde. «En 2005 on estimait qu’environ 20% des films piratés sur le marché mondial provenaient du Canada, et un bon pourcentage de Montréal», estime Serge Corriveau, enquêteur pour l’Association canadienne des distributeurs de films, une antenne des grands studios hollywoodiens. Ceux-ci chiffrent à plus de 6,1 milliards de dollars les pertes qu’ils subissent annuellement à cause du piratage de leurs films dans le monde. «Les blockbusters (films à grand succès) attirent toujours les pirates, mais au cours des dernières années au-delà de 200 films ont été enregistrés (au Canada) et ils se sont retrouvés dans 45 pays», assure M. Corriveau. L’industrie dénonce le «laxisme» des lois canadiennes en matière de lutte contre le piratage de films. Alors qu’aux États-Unis, l’acte de filmer au cinéma est un crime dans plusieurs États, dont la Californie, il n’en est rien au Canada. Certes, une personne prise en flagrant délit de filmer dans un cinéma peut y être poursuivie au civil par le propriétaire de la salle, le distributeur ou le studio. Mais pour que des accusations criminelles soient portées contre cette personne, la police doit prouver qu’elle avait l’intention de distribuer le film. «Pour prouver l’intention, ça demande plus de preuves. Il ne s’agit pas de voir quelqu’un filmer dans un cinéma, il faut accumuler des preuves afin d’avoir un mandat de perquisition, par exemple, pour aller fouiller dans son ordinateur. Ce n’est pas facile», explique Helaine Lavergne, porte-parole de la Gendarmerie royale du Canada (GRC). Devant ce quasi-vide juridique, des propriétaires de salle se font justice eux-mêmes. Lors de premières à Montréal, qualifiée dans l’industrie de «capitale canadienne du piratage«, certains cinémas utilisent des détecteurs de métal à l’entrée afin de décourager les pirates potentiels. La direction d’une chaîne de «méga-cinéma» est même allée jusqu’à interdire l’entrée à de présumés pirates. Et si Hollywood perd de gros sous dans cette histoire, des adeptes du piratage n’en font pas pour autant leurs choux gras. «Il y a tellement de gens qui le font de nos jours. Ce n’est pas vrai que les pirates font tous de l’argent avec ça (…), on fait ça pour le plaisir, pour regarder les films chez nous. On le fait aussi un peu pour emmerder les studios américains. Ils ne sont pas à plaindre, ils ne manquent pas d’argent», se vantaient récemment deux pirates déclarés au Journal de Montréal.   “US Senators to arrive in israel for indoctrination” “We think that it is important that the members of the delegation feel the connection and understand Israel better.

And it doesn’t involve going to court. A number of industry groups, mostly based in the United States, are relying on e-mail to get the message out that peer-to-peer file sharing is illegal. Thousands of the e-mails are being sent to Canadian users each month under a program known as “notice and notice.” Major Canadian internet service providers including Rogers, Bell and Telus have voluntarily agreed to distribute the notices to their customers on behalf of the industry associations. Telus forwards an average of 4,000 notices every month. Stephen Harrington received a notice late last year after downloading a computer game from a bit torrent file-sharing site. (Bit torrent sites are used to share larger files, such as movies.) Harrington wanted to play the game with his friends, liked it, and purchased it a few days later. “Actually, I almost deleted it. But I read through and was quite surprised. But I was initially concerned,” Harrington said. The entertainment industry has long expressed frustration with Canada, and its unwillingness to modernize copyright laws. “Canada’s copyright laws regarding uploading and downloading are unclear, and that does present a number of challenges in curbing internet piracy,” said Neil MacBride, a vice-president with the Business Software Alliance, a Washington D.C.-based industry association that fights software piracy. The Business Software Alliance sent out about 60,000 “notice and notice” e-mails to Canadian internet users in 2006. “They’ve been most effective,” MacBride said. ‘Stop this infringing activity’ “If you’re somebody who’s [downloading] and you receive word that you’re essentially using somebody else’s property without their permission, it seems to have the desired effect — namely, people take it seriously and alter their behaviour accordingly.”The notices contain terse legal language: “This unauthorized copying and distribution constitutes copyright infringement under applicable national laws and international treaties. We urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity and inform us of the results of your actions,” reads one of the e-mails, sent by NBC Universal to Canadian internet users who were suspected of downloading a NBC television show. Canadian users are tracked by IP address when content is downloaded from the internet. “It doesn’t have any significant legal weight in the sense that it doesn’t mean they’re facing a lawsuit immediately or even the claims of infringement have been proven,” said leading internet law expert Michael Geist of the University of Ottawa. But Geist said the “notice and notice” program has been successful in scaring people to stop downloading. “I think they’ve proven surprisingly effective and in fact indications are that when subscribers receive these, a significant proportion will take down the offending content if, in fact, it is infringing,” he said. Harrington says he has not downloaded material using peer-to-peer sites since he received his e-mail notice, forwarded by his ISP, Rogers Communications. But he is concerned about privacy: What information are the ISPs passing along to the industry groups? “The ISPs are the only ones who know what individuals are doing what, so they’re trying to push that thin blue line and get to individual privacy that way,” he said. No privacy issues, ISPs say Both Rogers and Telus maintain they do not pass any personal information, such as user name or address, to any of the groups initiating the notice e-mails. “We protect the rights of our customers and the privacy of our customers and the information about our customers quite vigorously and we do not pass the information about our customers on to third parties,” said Michael Lee, chief strategy officer for Rogers Communications. The notice program in effect in Canada is essentially a tool to alert users that they are downloading what the industry groups see as copyrighted material. Even though tens of thousands of e-mails have been distributed over the last few years, no one has been prosecuted for copyright violation as a result of the notices. “Notice and notice” differs from the “notice and take-down” program that’s in place in the United States. There, when an industry group notices an alleged copyright violation, an e-mail similar to the ones being sent to Canadian users is forwarded to the American ISP. In most cases, the ISPs are forced to immediately take down the content or face penalties. “I think notice-in-notice is a great alternative that really respects privacy and free speech much more than notice and take-down,” said Ren Bucholz of the internet advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation. ==================================================================http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1705/125/ The Effectiveness of Notice and Notice The CBC runs a story today on the growing use of “notice and notice” by copyright holders.  Telus apparently sends out about a thousand notices each week, while the Business Software Alliance says it sent out 60,000 notifications to Canadians last year. These numbers are consistent with my own experience as I now regularly receive emails from Canadians asking about the implications of such notifications. The notice and notice system involves a notification from a copyright holder – often involving movies, software or music – claiming that a subscriber has made available or downloaded content without authorization on file sharing systems.  The Internet Service Provider forwards the notification to the subscriber but takes no other action – it does not pass along the subscriber’s personal information, remove the content from its system, or cancel the subscriber’s service.  It falls to the subscriber to act and as the CBC story notes, many remove the infringing content (if indeed it is infringing) voluntarily.  Some people object to U.S.-based notifications that carry no legal weight in Canada being sent to Canadians with the cooperation of Canadian ISPs.  I am supportive of the system since I think it balances various interests in fair manner.  First, it stands in marked contrast to the U.S. notice and takedown approach, which creates incentives for ISPs to remove content without warning or evidence of actual infringement.  The recent avalanche of Viacom notices – which targeted dozens of non-infringing videos – provides a good case study for why the notice and takedown system can have a chilling effect on online speech.  Second, the approach protects user privacy, consistent with national privacy law and the CRIA file sharing case from 2004.  Third, it reflects a consistency between industry practice and proposed legislation.  While Bill C-60 was criticized for some its provisions, many applauded the decision to codify a notice-and-notice system into law (I assessed the ISP provisions here).  The IIPA may be demanding that Canada follow the U.S. approach, but the effectiveness of the Canadian notice and notice system demonstrates that a balancing privacy, free speech, and copyright can lead to solutions that serve everyone’s best interests.   http://www.cyberpresse.ca/article/20070216/CPMONDE/70216028/1014/CPMONDE Un juge italien a décidé vendredi de renvoyer devant le tribunal de Milan (nord) 26 agents de la CIA poursuivis pour l’enlèvement en Italie d’un ex-imam égyptien en 2003, l’un des cas de transfert secret de détenus dénoncé par le Parlement européen.

Le procès, sans précédent en Europe en ce qui concerne le nombre d’agents américains renvoyés devant la justice, débutera le 8 juin, a ajouté Mme Interlandi, et il se déroulera par contumace en ce qui concerne les citoyens américains. Selon la presse italienne, la majorité des 26 agents a agi sous de faux noms et se trouve actuellement aux États-Unis. Il y a 15 jours, la justice allemande a délivré 13 mandats d’arrêt contre des agents présumés de la CIA soupçonnés d’avoir enlevé en 2003 en Macédoine l’Allemand d’origine libanaise Khaled el-Masri. L’enlèvement d’Abou Omar est l’un des cas dénoncés par le rapporteur du Conseil de l’Europe Dick Marty dans son étude sur les vols secrets de la CIA. Soupçonné de terrorisme, l’ex-imam égyptien Abou Omar a été enlevé le 17 février 2003 à Milan par un commando de la CIA aidé par des agents italiens, selon le parquet de Milan. Conduit à la base américaine d’Aviano, dans le nord-est de l’Italie, il a été transféré en Égypte après le rapt, où il a été incarcéré et affirme avoir subi des tortures. Relâché dimanche par les autorités égyptiennes, il a annoncé son intention de porter plainte contre Silvio Berlusconi pour obtenir dix millions d’euros de dommages-intérêts «pour son implication dans l’enlèvement en tant que chef du gouvernement (à l’époque des faits) et pour avoir permis à la CIA de le capturer». Un mandat d’arrêt européen a été émis contre les 26 Américains mais la demande d’extradition adressée aux États-Unis est toujours sur le bureau du ministre italien de la Justice, Clemente Mastella, seul autorisé à la transmettre. Check ca, c’est véridique. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8996055986353195886&q=Les+OGM+sont-ils+dangereux+pour+la+sant%C3%A9 OGM : un reportage fait fureur sur Internet http://technaute.lapresseaffaires.com/nouvelles/texte_complet.php?id=81,12399,0,022007,1331312.html&ref=top_short Cyberpresse Stéphanie Bérubé 13 février 2007 – 08h54   Depuis quatre jours, plus d’un million d’internautes ont regardé le documentaire français «Les OGM sont-ils dangereux pour la santé? L’étude qui accuse». Propulsé par une fausse rumeur de censure, ce reportage de 2005 se passe de courriel en courriel. Le sujet de tant d’intérêt? Deux études démontreraient que des rats nourris avec des OGM subiraient eux-mêmes des mutations génétiques. «C’est un documentaire très choquant parce qu’on voit que certains secrets commerciaux sont très bien protégés», indique Jocelyn Desjardins, de Greenpeace Québec, qui est évidemment ravi de voir la popularité inespérée de ce reportage. D’une moyenne de 300 connections par jour, en novembre, le lien de Google qui présente la vidéo est maintenant visité par 10 fois plus de monde, tous les jours. Hier après-midi, ils étaient plus de 2,3 millions à avoir pris le temps de regarder le reportage. Les messages qui accompagnent la vidéo, lorsqu’elle est envoyée par courrier électronique, parlent d’un cas de censure. Or il n’en n’est rien. «C’est un beau cas de téléphone arabe», admet Jocelyn Desjardins. Même le patron de la défunte émission française 90 minutes a été surpris de l’ampleur du mouvement. Il a confirmé qu’il n’y avait pas eu censure. Si le reportage fait tant jaser, deux ans après sa diffusion initiale, c’est que peu de films abordent le sujet des organismes génétiquement modifiés, croit le représentant québécois de Greenpeace. Et celui de l’émission 90 minutes adopte un ton très dramatique, avec musique d’ambiance et sous-entendus très efficaces. On y présente deux études sur des rats nourris aux OGM, dont une provenant du fabricant de grains transgéniques Monsanto. Bien qu’on ait trouvé des lésions sur certains rats nourris au maïs Monsanto, la multinationale a défendu son innocuité. Avec succès : la France a autorisé son utilisation en 2005. Au Canada, ce maïs transgénique est approuvé pour la consommation humaine depuis 2003.

Stuart Bowen, the special inspector-general, said his review of the government’s allocation of the $18.2bn fund found 96 incidents of cash being earmarked for projects that did not identify a vendor or contractor. The findings come just one week before the expiration of the reconstruction fund, at which point whatever remains will be returned to the Treasury. Mr Bowen said the government had $826m in remaining funds.

Just so you understand, your Church and Pastor now forbid you and your adult parents from blogging on the internet, having a blog of your own or having a personal website unless associated with a business. You need to understand that there are reasons behind these reasons such an obscene rule is being instituted. While blogging, like phone calling or letter writing or smokes signals can have a downside, there is more to this than meets the eye in your particular church. It is a way to control the flow of information, criticism and presenting views that are counter to those accepted by the Restored Church of God and it’s leaders.

A group of men had forced their way into a house and were ransacking the place when passing plain-clothes officers were alerted by a woman inside screaming. The criminals outnumbered them and were armed with a hammer, knives and chains and attacked the Police officers.

Two of the criminals were arrested, but in true hero style the samurai disappeared before police could speak to him. A third man was arrested later and two more are still being hunted.

Le groupe a décidé d’interdire ces échanges d’armures, d’or virtuel ou autres objets gagnés dans des jeux comme World of Warcraft — en fait des lignes de codes informatiques — en raison de la «complexité juridique» de leur propriété. «Nous avons décidé qu’il serait mieux tout simplement de ne pas autoriser leurs ventes», a expliqué la porte-parole Hani Durzy, ajoutant . En revanche, eBay continuera à autoriser les ventes aux enchères des produits virtuels de Second Life, un monde virtuel ou les participants créent un personnage, un avatar, qui peut sur le site acheter des maisons virtuelles, des vêtements virtuels ou autres. Ils sont achetés avec un argent virtuel, mais que les internautes doivent d’abord alimenter avec des cartes bancaires réelles. «Actuellement Second Life n’est pas considéré comme un jeu, donc nous n’y appliquons pas ces restrictions», a-t-elle expliqué. Dans les jeux en réseaux sur Internet, les joueurs peuvent faire évoluer leur personnages en achetant des armes, de l’«or», des pouvoirs, etc. Les joueurs expérimentés revendent ces personnages très développés à ceux qui veulent avancer plus vite dans le jeu. Mme Durzy a comparé la décision d’eBay, appliquée depuis quelques semaines, à l’interdiction de la vente de tabac ou d’alcool sur le site, produits légaux mais qui font l’objet de régulations complexes.

Graham wrote that he warned the FBI. Then after Sept. 11, he saw their pictures among the hijackers.

Both men have just pled not guilty to charges of “manipulating traffic signals ( https://www.engadget.com/2006/04/18/opticon-toting-driver-gets-50-fine-for-changing-traffic-light/ ) to disrupt transportation across the city in the run-up to a union protest last August,” a case which pins them with deeds such as identity theft and illegally using those 1337 skills to wreck havoc. In a situation eerily similar to that seen in The Italian Job, the pair overrode intentional barriers to access the traffic light system in LA, and proceeded to not only force lights to stay red for extended periods of time in some of the city’s most critical and congested intersections, but locked out city officials from entering back in and reversing the changes as well. Ranking right up there beside the numerous ATM ( http://homeentertainment.engadget.com/2006/09/13/atm-reprogrammed-to-disperse-extra-cash/ ) hacks we’ve seen, this job led to massive amount of chaos in the following days, creating gridlocks in some areas that reportedly took “four days” to totally clear out. If convicted, the two could face several years in prison, but if not, we’re sure risk-loving tech executives everywhere are drooling to pick these two up and put ’em to (honest, law-abiding) work.       VOUS SOUHAITEZ découvrir une authentique société initiatique?

Ce concours est organisé depuis dix ans par la Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, une association qui lutte contre la prolifération de procès abusifs contre les fabricants.

The company which produced the world’s first available electric sportscar (see articles here here ( http://www.gizmag.com/go/3284/ ) and here), recently announced it would partner with Intel to make energy sharing possible via the Venturi Fetish platform and now it has debuted the first energy-autonomous vehicle and despite its non-traditional appearance, production has already begun. The urban 3-seater electro-solar vehicle named the Eclectic goes well beyond anything previously offered by car manufacturers, being the first vehicle powered entirely by renewable energies, the first solar production vehicle and the first car that can be directly recharged with a personal wind turbine. A limited run of 200 vehicles will be available in June 2007 at a price of EUR24,000. The company is shooting for an even higher level of production from 2009 at an estimated base price of EUR15,000. Innovative and astonishing, Eclectic is much more than a simple vehicle ; it is a production and storage plant for renewable energies, either solar or wind based.

(Fucking Dipshit)   Cache Manuels scolaires – Les maisons d’édition frappées de plein fouet Toutes les matières ont fait les frais de la révision des programmes 23 septembre 2006 |Christian Lévesque | Éducation Photo: Jacques Nadeau Le gouvernement a prévu 169 millions sur quatre années pour l’achat de nouveaux manuels scolaires adaptés à la refonte du niveau secondaire. La réforme du milieu scolaire a causé un véritable électrochoc dans le monde de l’édition de manuels scolaires. Alors qu’on modifiait auparavant un programme à la fois, c’est maintenant tous les manuels d’une même année scolaire que l’on doit remplacer pour respecter les échéanciers de cette restructuration. Une tâche énorme qui a modifié le milieu de l’édition scolaire québécois. Au Québec, le premier livre imprimé fut un manuel scolaire: le Cathéchisme du diocèse de Sens, publié en 1765. D’ailleurs, avant 1964, c’était toujours les communautés religieuses qui publiaient ce type de manuels ici. Depuis lors, l’entreprise privée a pris le relais et a rentabilisé le processus. Ce secteur générait des ventes de 80 millions de dollars en 2005. Mais avant d’atteindre les écoles, tout manuel scolaire québécois doit obtenir l’approbation du gouvernement. En chantier depuis 1996 Les récents changements dans le réseau scolaire québécois ont affecté le milieu de l’édition, car la refonte des programmes des écoles primaires et secondaires constituait l’un des 10 chantiers prioritaires du rapport des états généraux sur l’éducation de 1996. Alors que cette réforme est en marche et qu’elle atteint maintenant la 2e année du secondaire, les éditeurs de manuels scolaires planchent sans relâche pour proposer des produits qui correspondent aux nouveaux critères du ministère de l’Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport (MELS). Et le projet est énorme: toutes les matières ont fait les frais de la révision des programmes. Il faut donc de nouveaux livres pour tout. Le MELS a annoncé en 2002 avoir signé une «déclaration d’engagement pour la production, l’approbation et le financement des manuels scolaires» avec l’objectif de rendre plus simple et plus rapide la venue dans les classes de ces nouveaux recueils. «Finalement, cela n’est pas plus simple, rectifie le président et chef de la direction des Éditions Chenelière Éducation, Jacques Rochefort. Sur le fond, ce sont les mêmes exigences et les mêmes normes de qualité qui sont demandées.» Il dit cependant qu’après quelques années de rodage, les habitudes de travail se sont installées et le travail de qualité est plus facilement atteint: «Plus on en fait, plus on devient bon, mais le ministère est toujours aussi sévère qu’avant», précise-t-il. Un risque qui peut se chiffrer à 1,5 M$ Le risque demeure cependant important pour les maisons d’édition, car présenter un projet de manuel n’est pas suffisant: il faut en produire un exemplaire complet (imprimé et relié) avant que le MELS ne l’approuve. Un investissement qui peut se chiffrer à près de 1,5 million de dollars, affirme Jacques Rochefort, qui est également le vice-président de l’Association nationale des éditeurs de livres: «Ce sont des risques financiers très importants et les éditeurs les assument à 100 %!» Il ajoute que, si le gouvernement a prévu 169 millions sur quatre années pour l’achat de nouveaux manuels scolaires adaptés à la refonte du niveau secondaire (352 millions au total en incluant le niveau primaire), la réforme a commencé à être appliquée sans que les sommes promises ne soient allouées. Les manuels scolaires sont donc souvent prêtés aux écoles durant une année complète avant que l’éditeur ne soit payé. Une situation qui impose encore plus de pression: «Beaucoup d’éditeurs ont vécu des moments difficiles depuis la mise en place de la réforme et nous avons assisté à une restructuration de notre milieu», explique Jacques Rochefort. Des manuels par milliers Le marché québécois est maintenant dominé par des regroupements. Depuis 2003, Quebecor Média est devenu l’unique actionnaire des Éditions CEC, qui publient, diffusent et distribuent des ouvrages dans toutes les disciplines scolaires, de la maternelle à l’université. Cette maison d’édition possède un catalogue de 1400 titres et distribue plus de 4000 ouvrages différents. Pour sa part, les Éditions de la Chenelière s’associent en 2002 à Borealis Capital pour ensuite acquérir Gaëtan Morin éditeur et les Publications Graficor, ce qui donnera naissance à Chenelière Éducation. Cette dernière ajoutera le Groupe Beauchemin à sa liste d’acquisitions en 2005. Puis, le 31 août dernier, c’est Transcontinental qui mettait la main sur Chenelière Éducation. Avec plus de 2600 auteurs et 4200 titres, cette maison d’édition publie du matériel scolaire du préscolaire à l’université. Bien qu’il existe encore des maisons d’édition québécoises indépendantes, cette concentration des maisons d’édition scolaire est un phénomène relativement nouveau dans la province. Vitesse de croisière atteinte Malgré tout, la réforme a dynamisé le monde de l’édition de manuels scolaires et le volume de travail est devenu imposant pour les éditeurs. Les maisons d’édition ont donc embauché du personnel pour répondre à la demande. Dans tous les domaines, les auteurs, les consultants scientifiques et pédagogiques se sont mis à l’oeuvre pour répondre aux nouvelles demandes du ministère. Les équipes de travail sont plus grandes, mais la pression est néanmoins terrible sur les éditeurs pour proposer des manuels conformes à temps pour la rentrée scolaire. «Pour nous, l’investissement est important en temps et en argent. Et nous avons revu notre manière de travailler», relate Jacques Rochefort. Puisqu’il faut ajuster les manuels, c’est aussi toute la méthode de création qui doit être mise à jour. Les adaptations et les transformations d’ouvrages déjà existants (en plus de la création de nouveaux outils de travail tant pour les étudiants que pour les professeurs) demandent une implication importante, car l’organisation et la structure de la pédagogie sont dorénavant différentes. Mais après quelques années de rodage, les éditeurs sont maintenant au fait des impératifs de la réforme et rares sont les manuels qui sont refusés. «Au début, c’était plus long de produire les manuels et de les faire approuver, mais on a maintenant atteint un rythme de croisière confortable», conclut Jacques Rochefort.

For a one-time fee of $200, AT&T will sell you an “equipment package” that contains a tilt-and-pan video camera, a motion sensor for a door / window, a “central router” to connect those devices to the interweb, and “two power modules that enable device connectivity via home power outlets.” (And shipping you all that to your door will cost you another Hamilton, don’t forget.) Further, as you might expect, you can program various alerts or triggers (like turning on a light) if motion is detected. So for all of that (which will still cost you $10 per month to operate), how do you view pictures of people trying to do damage to your domicile? Well, the system transmits over the internet at 3-7fps or if you’re viewing it on your Cingular handset, between a paltry 1fps or up to a smokin’ 3fps (if you have HSDPA). However, *The Associated Press* provides one last caveat, though: “The system won’t work if the power fails.” Thanks, Sherlock.

En effet, produire de l’éthanol en quantité industrielle est un processus complexe, très énergivore, polluant et qui requiert beaucoup de labeur. Pour commencer, il faut produire, par exemple, du maïs… des quantités phénoménales de maïs, une plante qui a beaucoup de feuillage et peu de grains fermentables. Ce genre de culture requiert des surfaces cultivables étendues, beaucoup d’eau, beaucoup d’engrais chimiques et beaucoup de pesticides. Il faut aussi faire fermenter les grains dans un réacteur et distiller le moût obtenu pour en tirer l’éthanol.

Concerning your petition, if your name was changed, it’s because you purposely chose not to respect the naming policy, so we had to rename it to something else. And we do not rename characters with gay or otherwise non-aggreable names. Your definition of “gay” does not apply in this case. So before we change your name back, read the naming policy and next time you click “I ACCEPT” and “PLAY”, you will know what you “accepted”. After that, reply with many alternative names that each respect the naming policy, in case that the one that you want is taken already. If your choices do not respect the naming policy, your name will indefinitely be what it is now.

URL: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/ BELLMEAD-   A four-year-old hugged his teachers aide and was put into in-school suspension, according to the father.  But La Vega school administrators have a different story. Damarcus Blackwell’s four-year-old son was lining-up to get on the bus after school last month, when he was accused of rubbing his face in the chest of a female employee. The prinicipal of La Vega Primary School sent a letter to the Blackwells that said the pre-kindergartener demonstrated “inappropriate physical behavior interpreted as sexual contact and/or sexual harassment.” Blackwell says it’s ridiculous that the aide would misread a hug from a four-year-old.  Blackwell wrote to administrators demanding that the whole incident be expunged from his son’s academic file because his son is too young to know what it means to act sexually. David Davis, the executive director of the Advocacy Center in Waco tends to agree with Blackwell.  He says assuming the boy has not had sexual encounters, or been inappropriately exposed to pornography, most four-year-olds are sexually innocent. Blackwell got a response  from the La Vega administration.  The sexual references on the discipline referral were removed.  But the thing that makes Blackwell most upset is they told him “your request for an apology by the aide and removal of all paperwork regarding this incident is denied.” Now the young student’s file will refer to the incident as “inappropriate physical contact.”  And Blackwell says he will continue to fight the district. La Vega I.S.D. administrators told News Channel 25 they couldn’t comment on this case because of student privacy issues. *Teacher calls Muslim student ‘terrorist'<http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/> * He said no, you’ve come into my classroom, you’ve moved desks, and that’s when he outburst (sic), said no, I don’t want to negotiate with a terrorist.

School boards across the country have banned carols such as Silent Night in holiday assemblies. Frosty the Snowman is tolerable, but the ACLU has threatened to sue a school in Colorado for permitting Jingle Bells, which makes Jewish students no longer feel welcome. In New York City, public schools, menorahs and Islamic symbols are acceptable, but not nativity scenes. Teachers in Sacramento have been forbidden to use the word Christmas in the classroom, Illinois state government employees forbidden to say “Merry Christmas” on the job.

That’s why a Dutch art company, Tilburgs CowBoys and Theater NWE Vorst, has put together a film that you can watch while having dinner this holiday season, so it won’t feel like you’re eating alone. According to *The Uber-Review*, there are six different options to choose from, ranging from “romantic evening” or “a good discussion.” We’re not really sure how lifelike a one-way dinner discussion can be, which is why we’d just as soon cuddle up with an old James Bond <http://engadget.com/tag/jamesbond> flick over a dinner-for-one, but perhaps those haven’t reached The Netherlands yet.

Did you graduate grammar school? I think I would respect you more if the answer to that is no. I want to throw a rock at your face every time I walk by when you are answering the phone and you say something like “who you callin’ for?” or “he in a meetin’ right now” or my personal favorite, “who this is?” I bet the people on the other end of the phone want to throw a rock at your face too. I also can’t stand when I get message notes from you that are written like so: Mr. Smith called hes wanting to kno wen he shuld ecspect the letter of aprovle. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It amazes me that the only two things in your job description are answering phones and taking phone messages and you can’t do either of those things! Tall girl in design with the short brown hair- You have horrendous body odor! I’m not talking a little stench here and there I am talking everyday when you walk into the building people drop dead. I don’t know how you don’t notice it. I’m going to buy you deodorant for Christmas. Fat woman who works in suite 19- I don’t know exactly what you do for this company, but I know far too much about your personal life. When you talk to your boyfriend on company time, please refrain from telling him it felt so good when he slipped his hard dick into your fat ass! Yea I heard that, and so does everyone else that walks by your suite when you are on the phone. It’s disgusting, and we don’t want to hear about it, so keep your voice down. Blonde woman who works for accounting- I know that you are 30, not 25 and I also know that at the Christmas party last year you had sex with the bosses son in the broom closet and that he got you pregnant. Please don’t insult me in front of our coworkers again or I will tell everyone. Hot girl that works in sales- When you wear that brown skirt with the white flower on the bottom and you sit down, we can all see that you don’t wear panties. Boss’ old receptionist- My name is not, John, Jason, Jack, Jim or Jared… it’s Evan. Middle age woman who works in reception- Your job is not that hard. You answer phones, put people on hold, and take messages. I don’t care that you were up late cleaning the house or that you sat up all night waiting for you delinquent son to get home, that does not give you a reason to get rude with a customer or walk around bitching about how your job is so stressful. Half of us come in still drunk from the night before, but we never yell at clients, bitch about our family members or say our jobs are soooo hard. Pregnant bitch- There is only one of you, so no need for further description but let it be known that you are not the first person to ever get knocked up! You are not the first person to get heart burn, you are not the first person to get morning sickness. You are not the first person to pee their pants because the baby put too much pressure on your bladder and you certainly are not the first person who has had strange cravings for cheese and anchovies. Stop complaining about it! Little intern girl- You are so cute with your stringy brown hair, acne and braces but your coffee skills are lacking. All I ever want is a large black coffee but you seem to thing that I would rather a low-fat latte, or a caramel machiato, or even a Chai Tea. Nope I don’t want those, I just want a damn black coffee! Also, you obviously don’t know your alphabet because my filing cabinet is a mess. F does not come after R, sweetie. Do you want to flunk the class you are doing this internship for? No? You better shape your ass up and get me the right coffee then! Pretty girl who is head of the writing department- You are the only girl who works in this office that I can stand. You greet me every morning with a bright smile and a cheery hello. And you are so damn smart. No wonder you are 22 and head of the department that could pretty much make or break our company. One time I asked you the Circumference of the earth and you kew it! Usually I would think that is weird and dork but from you, I find it really hot. I also like that you are the only girl in the company that hasn’t slept with someone that works with us. But for the record, if you slept with me, I wouldn’t respect you any less. Hispanic girl who works in design- You wear way too much makeup, I hate that you draw your eyebrows on, and I’m pretty sure you have an adams apple and are a man. 35 year old secretary- You have a 20 year old son, and a 15 year old son… yet you dress like you are 16. I would be embarrassed to be your children. Oh and you look really stupid when you wear that plaid school-girl skirt with the white tights and hooker boots. This is an office… not a brothel. *German legislation would jail FPS gamers http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/58951382/ Filed under: Gaming  http://www.engadget.com/category/gaming/ <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16070177/>Late last month, an 18-year-old man went on a shooting spree at his former junior high school in western Germany, killing himself and injuring 11 others. According to reports on the German news site *Tagesschau*, the man spent a fair bit of time playing “Counter-Strike,” which some say may have led to his inspiration to conduct the killing. As a result of this tragedy, two state governments in Bavaria and Lower Saxony have drafted legislation which, according to the *Financial Times*, would “subject developers, distributors and players of video games whose goal is to inflict ‘cruel violence on humans or human-looking characters’ to a fine and a maximum of one year in jail.” If the measures pass, German gamers, amateur and pro alike, will have to lay off the FPS games for quite a long while and stick to more traditional non-violent games, like, you know, “Pac-Man http://www.engadget.com/tag/pac-man [Via Slashdot<http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/12/07/2213201&from=rss> ] URL: http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/58951382/ *Homeowner thrown in jail for noisy cellphone call<> * An Eastpointe Michigan woman has been thrown in jail after one of her house guests walked outside to use a cell phone. 23-year-old Carmen Granata was cited for violating the city noise ordnance and was given 30 days in county jail along with two years of probation.

Au coût de 299 US, il fait grimper les tourtereaux à 5280 pieds d’altitude à bord d’un Piper Cherokee 6, muni d’un matelas. Le vol d’une durée d’une heure, qui décolle de Carrollton en Géorgie ( www.milehighatlanta.com), attire les visiteurs d’aussi loin que New York. Âgé de 51 ans, M. Smith a répondu aux questions de *USA TODAY*. Q : Quel type de clients attirez-vous? R : Des couples âgés de 18 à 60 ans. J’ai reçu entre 75 et 100 couples en cinq ans, des gens venant parfois de New York ou Miami. C’est plus facile pour eux que de le faire dans les toilettes d’un 747. Q : Est-ce que ce sont les hommes ou les femmes qui réservent? R : Près de trois quarts des vols sont réservés par des femmes. Je crois que si un homme le propose à une femme, il a peur de lui laisser croire qu’il est un pervers. Mais si c’est la femme qui le propose, l’homme pensera qu’il s’agit d’une femme coquine. Q : Mais votre avion est tout petit. Les gens ne sont-ils pas intimidés en votre présence? R : Non, il y a un rideau et je porte des écouteurs. Et je pense que mes clients ne sont pas du genre pudique. Q : Ne devez-vous pas les avertir quand l’avion atterrira? R : Je leur donne un minuteur fixé à 50 minutes. Quand il s’arrête, ils savent qu’ils ont 10 minutes pour se rhabiller et attacher leur ceinture. Q : Qu’est-ce que l’Administration fédérale d’aviation (FAA) pense d’un tel vol? Est-ce que vous avez dû faire face à des obstacles? R : J’ai un permis commercial. Ce vol est classé comme touristique. Et monter au septième ciel ne contrevient pas aux règles de la FAA. Q : Est-ce qu’il y a des gens qui s’opposent à ce que vous faites? R : Quelques-uns sont choqués. Alors je leur dis: êtes-vous contre les hôtels qui louent des chambres aux couples? Je ne fais que leur offrir un lieu pour combler un de leurs fantasmes. Q : Connaissez-vous quelqu’un d’autre offrant le même service? R : Le seul autre que je connais est à Cincinnati et s’appelle Flamingo Air (www.Flamingo.net <http://www.flamingo.net/>). Q : Quels clients préférez-vous? Les cadres d’entreprise ou les couples? R : J’aime les vols d’affaires, mais j’apprécie les couples parce que je sais qu’ils éprouvent du plaisir à voler. Q : J’imagine que vous recevez des gens mariés qui ne sont pas nécessairement avec leur conjoint? R : Après le vol, je leur donne un certificat de membre du Club du septième ciel. Quelques couples ont déjà refusé de voir leur nom écrit sur le certificat. Q : Est-ce que la champagne est compris dans le prix? R : Le champagne, c’est du Cook’s ou du Freixenet. Je ne donne pas de Dom Pérignon. Les couples peuvent aussi garder les draps. Tout les clients ont droit à de nouveaux draps.

The game is not difficult and you have all the necessary tools to find what you want, but it requires that you use them, and not ask us.

Check that guy’s theory, it is true! Hi Jeff… Most interesting…I was doing a little research this morning on who is a Jew and who is not. I used google, typed in names of some famous media people followed by “Jew,” and this popped up over in the far-right screen area: http://www.google.com/explanation.html It’s heading is “Offensive Search Results,” and under the heading is, “We’re disturbed about these results as well. Please read our note here.” So, I went to their note, where google explains that “‘Jew’ is often used in an anti-Semitic context.” Well, by golly. Since they were so upset about the word, Jew, I figured they would be REALLY sensitive about other words such as, Nigger, Injun, Red Skin, Mick, Coon, Spic, Beaner, Turban Head, (couldn’t think of any others) and I tried all of these on google, as well. Nope. Not one of these words stirred up any google response. They were only concerned about “Jew.” So, remember: it’s OK to search for a Catholic, a Protestant, a Baptist or a Mormon, etc, but it is NOT OK to search for a Jew. http://www.nutech2000.com/webtext/forum/oilhoax.html *Supplies of oil may be inexhaustible* ** * By Bruce Bartlett* On April 16, Newsday, *the Long Island newspaper, published a startling report that old oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico were somehow being refilled.* That is, new oil was being discovered in fields where it previously had not existed.  Scientists, led by Mahlon Kennicutt of Texas A&M University, speculate that the new oil is surging upward from deposits well below those currently in production. “Very light oil and gas were being injected from below, even as the producing was going on,” he said.  Although it is not yet known whether this is a worldwide phenomenon or commercially important, *the new discovery suggests that there may be far more oil and gas within the Earth’s core than previously thought. * **  Oil lease blunder hidden 6 years <http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/>Interior Department officials realized in 2000 that their offshore lease agreements with oil companies shortchanged American taxpayers, but they covered up their multibillion-dollar mistake for six years, an investigator said Wednesday.After combing through 11,000 e-mail messages and interviewing 29 current and former Interior Department employees, federal investigators still aren’t ready to say who they think told a staffer to omit contract language that would have forced oil companies operating in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico to pay billions of dollars in royalty payments as energy prices rose.

He would have so much money.

Quick as lightning, Castro shot back, “Who pays you?” Now we find that Cao’s paymaster was the US government: he received $10,400 in payments so far this year. Cao is one among 10 South Florida journalists to have been found accepting money in exchange for touting propaganda intended to undermine the Cuban government via Radio and TV Marti (both bankrolled by the US government to the tune of $37 million to broadcast anti-Cuban propaganda from the States onto Cuban soil).

Meanwhile, me and #7 threw all their shit into the parking lot and i claimed my spot as #1, him as #2. 4 and the people i had calle d arrived   http://www.smashmyps3.com/ Subject: A propos des bulletins de votes… Sur la page de la foire aux questions d’Élections Canada. http://www.elections.ca/content.asp?section=faq&document=faqvoting&lang=f&textonly=false#voting20 Est-il permis de manger un bulletin de vote? Il est strictement interdit, aux termes de la Loi électorale du Canada, de manger un bulletin de vote, d’omettre de le retourner, de le détruire ou de le détériorer. Cette interdiction fait partie d’un ensemble de moyens de contrôle discrets visant à protéger l’intégrité du processus de vote et la confiance des Canadiens à l’égard du système électoral. Les dispositions pertinentes de la Loi sont résumées ci-dessous. Avant de donner un bulletin de vote à un électeur, le scrutateur y appose ses initiales. Par ailleurs, chaque bulletin de vote comporte un talon numéroté. Après avoir reçu son bulletin de vote, l’électeur se rend directement dans l& #39;isoloir, marque son bulletin, puis le plie suivant les instructions reçues du scrutateur et le remet à celui-ci (la forme du bulletin et le déroulement du vote sont régis par l’ article 116 et les articles 150 à 153 de la Loi électorale du Canada). Lorsque l’électeur lui remet le bulletin de vote, le scrutateur vérifie s’il s’agit bien du bulletin qu’il avait donné à l’électeur. Ensuite, il détache le talon et le détruit, puis rend le bulletin à l’élect eur pour qu’il le dépose dans l’urne ou, à la demande de l’électeur, le dépose lui-même dans l’urne. Lors du dépouillement du vote après la fermeture des bureaux de scrutin, le scrutateur doit rendre compte, devant les représentants des candidats présents, de tous les bulletins de vote fournis par le directeur du scrutin. Pour ce faire, il d oit compter tous les bulletins déposés dans l’urne, y compris les bulletins annulés et les bulletins inutilisés. Si le scrutateur ne peut rendre compte de tous les bulletins de vote, les résultats du vote dans ce bureau de scrutin pourraie nt être contestés pour cause d’irrégularité. Aux termes de l’alinéa 167(2)a) de la Loi électorale du Canada, « il est interdit à quiconque de détériorer, altérer, ou détruire volontairement un bulletin de vote ». Par ailleurs, le paragraphe 480(1) de la Loi précise que quiconque contrevient à la Loi avec l’intention d’entraver ou de retarder les opérations électorales commet une infraction. Grâce à ces dispositions, fondées sur des pratiques remontant au 19e siècle, les électeurs peuvent exercer leur droit de vote dans des conditions respectueuses de cet aspect important du processus démocratique, et le dépouill ement du scrutin peut se faire avec exactitude. Le système de contrôle des bulletins de vote du Canada est reconnu sur la scène internationale pour la qualité de ses mesures de prévention de la fraude électorale.

Il a tenté d’éviter qu’un mandat d’arrêt soit délivré contre lui jusqu’au 22 août, date de sa comparution devant le tribunal. Sa femme Molly l’a quit té récemment et l’a fait arrêter. Selon lui, elle récupère ses biens et déménage ses affaires et s’efforce de quitter la ville avant qu’il bénéficie d’une relaxe. Comment interpréter tout cela ? Paul a craint que des puissances hostiles à ses projets n’utilise Molly pour découvrir ses idées et secrets. Sa plus grande inquiétude est que le Ministre de la justice d’Utah obtienne une charge de crime contre lui, pour l’enfoncer. Si c’est le cas, Paul perdra tous droits sur ses brevets et GEET sera une chose du passé.

Today, they’re worth $1.13 trillion—more than the GDP of Canada. THERE’VE BEEN FEW new additions to the Forbes 400. The median household income has also stagnated—at around $44,000. AMONG THE FORBES 400 who gave to a 2004 presidential campaign, 72% gave to Bush. IN 2005, there were 9 million American millionaires, a 62% increase since 2002. IN 2005, 25.7 million Americans received food stamps, a 49% increase since 2000. ONLY ESTATES worth more than $1.5 million are taxed. That’s less than 1% of all estates. Still, repealing the estate tax will cost the government at least $55 billion a year. ONLY 3% OF STUDENTS at the top 146 colleges come from families in the bottom income quartile; only 10% come from the bottom half. BUSH’S TAX CUTS GIVE a 2-child family earning $1 million an extra $86,722—or Harvard tuition, room, board, and an iMac G5 for both kids. A 2-CHILD family earning $50,000 gets $2,050—or 1/5 the cost of public college for one kid. THIS YEAR, Donald Trump will earn $1.5 million an hour to speak at Learning Annex seminars. ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION, the federal minimum wage has fallen 42% since its peak in 1968. IF THE $5.15 HOURLY minimum wage had risen at the same rate as CEO compensation since 1990, it would now stand at $23.03. A MINIMUM WAGE employee who works 40 hours a week for 51 weeks a year goes home with $10,506 before taxes. SUCH A WORKER would take 7,000 years to earn Oracle CEO Larry Ellison’s yearly compensation. ELLISON RECENTLY posed in *Vanity Fair* with his $300 million, 454-foot yacht, which he noted is “really only the size of a very large house.” ONLY THE WEALTHIEST 20% of Americans spend more on entertainment than on health care. THE $17,530 EARNED by the average Wal-Mart employee last year was $1,820 below the poverty line for a family of 4. 5 OF AMERICA’S 10 richest people are Wal-Mart heirs. PUBLIC COMPANIES spend 10% of their earnings compensating their top 5 executives. 1,730 BOARD MEMBERS of the nation’s 1,000 leading companies sit on the boards of 4 or more other corporations—including half of Coca-Cola’s 14-person board. THE BIDDER who won a round of golf with Tiger Woods for $30,100 at a 2004 Buick charity auction could deduct all but about $200. TIGER MADE $87 million in 2005, all but $12 million from endorsements and appearance fees. THE 5TH LEADING philanthropist last year was Boone Pickens, in part due to his $165 million gift to Oklahoma State University’s golf program. WITHIN AN HOUR, OSU invested it in a hedge fund Pickens controls. Thanks to a Katrina relief provision, his “gift” was also 100% deductible. LAST YEAR 250 COMPANIES gave top execs between $50,000 and $1 million worth of wholly personal flights on corporate jets. THIS PERK is 66% more costly to companies whose CEO belongs to out-of-state golf clubs. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT spends $500,000 on 8 security screeners who speed execs from a Wall Street helipad to American’s JFK terminal. UNITED HAS CUT the pensions and salaries of most employees but promised 400 top executives 8% of the shares it expects to issue upon emerging from bankruptcy. UNITED’S TOP 8 execs will also get a bonus of between 55% and 100% of their salaries. IN 2002, “turnaround artist” Robert Miller dumped Bethlehem Steel’s pension obligation, allowing “vulture investor” Wilbur L. Ross to buy steel stock and sell it at a 1,000% profit. IN 2005, DELPHI HIRED Miller for $4.5 million. After Ross said he might buy Delphi if its labor costs fell, Miller demanded wage cuts of up to 63% and dumped the pension obligation. 10 FORMER ENRON directors agreed to pay shareholders a $13 million settlement—which is 10% of what they made by dumping stock while lying about the company’s health. POOR AMERICANS spend 1/4 of their income on residential energy costs. EXXON’S 2005 PROFIT of $36.13 billion is more than the GDP of 2/3 of the world’s nations. CEO PAY AMONG military contractors has tripled since 2001. For David Brooks, the CEO of bulletproof vest maker DHB, it’s risen 13,233%. AT THE $10 MILLION bat mitzvah party Brooks threw his daughter last year, guests got $1,000 gift bags and listened to Aerosmith, Kenny G., Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, and 50 Cent—who reportedly sang, “Go shorty, it’s your bat mitzvah, we gonna party like it’s your bat mitzvah.” FOR PERFORMING IN the Live 8 concerts to “make poverty history,” musicians each got gift bags worth up to $12,000. OSCAR PERFORMERS and presenters collectively owe the IRS $1,250,000 on the gift bags they got at the 2006 Academy Awards ceremony. A DOG FOOD COMPANY provided “pawdicures” and other spa treatments to pets of celebrities attending the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. ONE OF MADONNA’S recent freebies: $10,000 mink and diamond-tipped false eyelashes. PARIS HILTON, who charges clubs $200,000 to appear for 20 minutes, stiffed Elton John’s AIDS benefit the $2,500-per-plate fee she owed. ACCORDING TO *Radar* magazine, Owen Wilson was paid $100,000 to attend a Mercedes-Benz-sponsored Hamptons polo match. When other guests tried to speak with him, he reportedly said, “That’s not my job.” *– Clara Jeffery (Ed.)*  http://www.canlii.org/ca/loi/c-46/art293.html       <http://www.canlii.org/ca/loi/#l_cons>          Code criminel             PARTIE VIII : INFRACTIONS CONTRE LA PERSONNE ET LA RÉPUTATION                Infractions aux droits conjugaux Polygamie 293.

C-34, art. 257. ——————————  Pour les intéressés de la politique américaine… *http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2581389* Le mois dernier, sous silence et en secret, Bush, le voleur en chef de la Maison Blanche, à signé un ordre exécutif donnant le pouvoir aux États-unis d’empêcher l’accès à l’espace aux autres pays si c’est dans un but hostile. En gros, Bush se déclare le maître incontesté de l’espace et peu importe qui est dans son chemin, il l’exterminera. Un exemple bien simple : l’Argentine veux déployer un satellite espion dans l’espace. Au moment où ils s’apprêtent à l’envoyer, la fusée explose sur le pad de lancement situé pour l’occasion au Baïkonour, en Russie. Parce qu’il est théoriquement possible que l’Argentine espionne les États-unis et donnes ces informations à Fidel Castro qui s’en servirait pour trouver une faille dans le déploiement de la garde côtière pour infiltrer des « révolutionistes cubains », Bush détermine que les intentions peuvent être hostile et donc un groupe de Delta Force (sans Chuck Norris) fait sauter la fusée et le satellite dedans. Encore, les américains envoient dans l’espace un satellite équipé d’un canon micro-onde dirigeable (matériel testé en Irak présentement) et détruit les systèmes électroniques des satellites de d’autres pays présentement en orbite. « “Consistent with this policy, the United States will: preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space; dissuade or deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so; take those actions necessary to protect its space capabilities; respond to interference; and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests.”   » Les intérêts américains se décrivent de plusieurs façons, militaires, politiques, économiques, etc. Un pays comme le Brésil qui lance un satellite de communication pouvant capter les discussions de milliards de gens pourraient capter celles d’américains en compétition avec une compagnie brésilienne pour un contrat de plusieurs milliards de dollars. Sachant que les brésiliens peuvent avoir un avantage nuisant aux intérêts économiques américains, ils pourraient détruire le satellite avant son lancement ou en orbite. Ce que ça veux dire en gros, c’est que Bush a effectivement lancé la course à l’armement dans l’espace. Même si l’article mentionne le contraire, croyez-vous vraiment que les autres pays laisseraient les américains dominer dans l’espace? Non. Ils vont se préparer en conséquence si ce n’est pas déjà en train de se faire depuis des années. La course à l’armement spatial est officieusement lancée.

Sachez-le tout de suite, Je suis un vrai musico-dépendant! Ce triste événement m’a laissé dans un désarroi insurmontable et surtout dans une lugubre période de sevrage musical qui s’est interminablement échelonnée sur 2 mois.

Cet état me rend toujours un peu plus vulnérable aux divagations poétiques et/ou mégalomanes auxquelles je résiste de mieux en mieux avec l’âge. Résistance qui lorsque naïvement relâchée provoque inévitablement de violents vomissements d’idées et de pensées obscures. (J’ai ce soir là accouché d’un effrayant exercice de poésie dans les mains inexpérimentées de mon docteur mathématique électronique. Je vous l’évite pour l’instant… Gagne de chanceux.). Un Lundi! Ce jour plutôt relax qui débute habituellement par un petit 3 heures de frappage intense de crane contre le béton armé dans un cours de math, suivi d’un copieux dîner servi par une chaîne de restauration qui sait visiblement comment contourner la réglementation de façon à servir de délicieux mets à base de viande qualité K. Un Lundi! Ce jour tout de même ardu, pas très bien débuté, qui se continue dans l’après-midi dans un trop long cours de math (Ho oui, deux en ligne!) de 3 heures suivi d’un ragoûtant souper servi par cette même gagne d’escrocs qui servent des restes humains. Un Lundi! Cette journée trop longue, qui commence trop tôt et qui visiblement ne finit jamais !, terriblement mal débutée, mal digérée, qui se continue éternellement dans la soirée avec un cours donné par un farfelu qui a choisi la discipline la plus obscure du domaine pour en faire son métier! Pas surprenant que ce soir là, le farfelu ayant décidé de ne pas étirer sa version québécoise de Auschwitz jusqu’à 9:30, je me sois ramassé au bar de l’école avec les chummy pour boire une couple de petites frettes. De toute façon à cette heure là, la blonde dort déjà. Vous savez, le problème avec les écoles modernes n’est pas qu’elles contiennent presque toutes un bar à l’intérieur de leur murs. C’est qu’on interdit pas les étudiants d’aller y mitrailler les idées qu’ils auraient voulu débattre dans la journée. Inévitablement quand on entre dans ce genre de piège à cons intra-mural avec billard et baby foot intégré, la journée sur le dos, on n’en ressort pas de si tôt. 6 petites Ex, 1 grosse Laurentide et toute l’intégrale des différents sujets farfelus débattus en un temps record de 4 heures, me voilà en route bien assis dans le métro en route vers mon chez-moi dans hochelaga. Un vrai con, un pur et dur, je suis allé me mettre de la musique sur les oreilles!. Voila, c’était fait, j’étais décollé dans un monde de réflexions beaucoup trop viscérales pour mon esprit aussi simplet. J’ai roulé jusqu’à ma station de métro. Je suis sorti dehors. J’ai augmenté le volume, peut-être trop? Qui sait, on verra dans 15 ans. Et j’ai marché en ligne droite en direction de Rosemont. J’ai passé pas moins de 3 heures à déambuler, rêvassé, à tenter de fixer mon esprit perdu dans les quartiers cossu au nord de la rue Sherbrooke. Je suis même tombé sur une fontaine éclairée dans un parc qui avait l’air vraiment bien meublé. Montréal est une ville assez bizarre et j’aurai sûrement la chance de revenir sur le sujet. J’ai finalement regagné mon appartement à 4:00AM, moment où j’en ai profité pour effectuer un atterrissage de détresse dans mon lit. Vous auriez du me voir la face à la job le lendemain matin ;).  posted by Etudiant alpha @ 9:10 PM<http://etudiantalpha.blogspot.com/2006/10/ya-des-soirs-comme-ca.html>  0 comments<http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36082983&postID=116105821796670500>  <http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=36082983&postID=116105821796670500&quickEdit=true> http://www.churchsigngenerator.com/ Quand vous aurez du temps, shootez-moi vos meilleures! :-) C’est le genre de chose qu’ont voit a tous les jours a Fox News (ce genre de banière en bas de l’écran), mais Radio-Canada?…  Donald Rumsfeld briefed the President this morning.

Bernanke. Le président de la banque centrale n’a pas parlé de l’économie ni des taux directeurs, dans ce discours prononcé lors du symposium annuel de la Fed à Jackson Hole (Wyoming) et consacré à la mondialisation. «Les changements économiques et technologiques vont sans doute réduire les distances encore plus dans les années à venir, rendant possible une amélioration de la productivité et des niveaux de vie ainsi qu’une réduction de la pauvreté mondiale», a-t-il affirmé selon le texte de son discours diffusé à Washington. Mais «l’opposition politique et sociale à l’ouverture peut être forte», avec par exemple la mise en place de mesures protectionnistes, a poursuivi M. Bernanke. «Le défi est de faire en sorte que les bénéfices de l’intégration économique mondiale soient assez largement partagés pour qu’un consensus émerge en faveur d’un changement améliorant les conditions de vie», a-t-il ajouté. Il a donné comme exemple d’aider les travailleurs privés de leur emploi du fait de la mondialisation, à «recevoir la formation nécessaire pour profiter de nouvelles opportunités».    «Obtenir un tel consensus peut être tout sauf simple, à la fois au niveau national et international. Cependant, cela vaut la peine de faire cet effort, car les bénéfices potentiels de l’intégration économique mondiale sont importants», a-t-il affirmé.  La prétendue réduction de la taxe d’eau<http://www.ledevoir.com/2006/08/26/116760.html>Le gros argument de M.

Day was responding to a report regarding an internal FBI audit that shows U.S. agents are carrying out investigations without the approval of the Canadian government. It says the FBI has given agents in its Buffalo field office clearance to conduct “routine investigations” up to 50 miles into Canadian territory. When asked about the report during question period, Day said Canadian security forces work with Canada’s allies, including the U.S, and have agreements in terms of information sharing. “We have teams that are designated going back and forth across the border and sometimes it is farther than 50 miles or 50 kilometres,” Day said. “I can assure you that everything that is done on Canadian soil in relation to security and safety investigations are done in accordance with our law.” The most recent audit by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s inspector general, done in 2004, documents the growth of FBI operations in Canada since 2001. As well as the reference to “routine investigations” inside Canadian territory it also says that about 30 per cent of FBI agents crossing the border to work in Canada failed to get “country clearance.” In other words, they didn’t get Canada’s approval. The inspector general’s report documents 135 unapproved FBI crossings and says there is no sign the crossings will stop. Canadian officials say they have made no protest to the U.S. government about FBI agents operating without permission on Canadian soil. According to the report, the FBI has struggled to keep up with its Canadian workload despite opening two new branch offices. It pursues thousands of leads a year in Canada, far more than in any other country except the United States.  http://www.pcworld.ca/news/article/1856cbde0a01040801c7c7c31638e69a/p… YO! interactive Wallpaper (not on your desktop wallpaper, the shit you glue on your WALL!!!) lis ca man! Microsoft smart home showcases interactive wallpaper  Author Eric Lai Computerworld October 5, 2006 The latest remodel of the Microsoft Home, the software vendor’s techno-fueled vision of domestic accoutrements of the future, has no robot butlers nor any flying cars parked in the driveway. The latest remodel of the Microsoft Home, the software vendor’s techno-fueled vision of domestic accoutrements of the future, has no robot butlers nor any flying cars parked in the driveway. But what it does showcase — and predict will be available to well-heeled cocooners five to 10 years hence — are a variety of smart appliances, from lamps to interactive wallpaper , that can be controlled by tablet PCs or cell phone-wielding residents. Microsoft Corp. showed off the Home, located on its Redmond, Wash., campus this week. First built in 1994 at a different location, the Home is stocked with technology that has been refreshed every few years. In the latest edition, not a single desktop or even laptop computer was displayed. Rather, Microsoft officials assume that computing power, mesh networking and thin LCD and OLED screens will become so cheap and ubiquitous that residents will be able to interact with computers from anywhere in the home. The community mailbox outside tracks the mailman’s location using GPS, and users can get a real-time estimate of when mail will arrive on the mailbox display or by cell phone. RFID tags embedded into envelopes even detail what mail is on the way. Visitors that ring the front doorbell have their picture taken by a digital camera, which is sent along with a notification to the cell phone of the homeowner, who can quiz the visitor or unlock the door. Upon entering, the visitor or homeowner can issue commands to the Home computer system, which in this case is named “Grace.” Or they can tap touch-sensitive OLED screens hidden under the wall’s paint. A sculptural light display in the corner flickers red to indicate when e-mail from a favorite sender — say, parents, children or siblings — has arrived. Meanwhile, a bulletin board in the kitchen has been updated for the digital age. Pin a party invitation onto its smart surface, and information read from its RFID tag causes the question “Accept invitation, yes or no?” to be displayed below it. Or place a pizza coupon onto the board and the restaurant’s menu and phone number are displayed, the latter of which can be called with a tap on the board. Jonathan Cluts, director of customer prototyping and strategy at Microsoft, predicts that RFID tags will become ubiquitous due to low cost and the ability to program and print them out at home using ink-jet printers with polymer-filled cartridges. In the Home, a girl’s bedroom features a mirror that doubles as a screen. By holding clothes up to it, she can get information about them, including whether matching items like a skirt or jacket are in the closet or the wash. Meanwhile, wallpaper now being developed by companies such as Philips serve as giant displays for pictures from a MySpace page or even video. The network that enables such ubiquitous connectivity relies on both wired and wireless technology. The physical cabling is not the key enabler, Cluts said. Rather, it is the IP-based network that uses Web services protocols developed by Microsoft over the years which link all of the electronic devices in the home. Though Cluts said there is no cap on how much his team can spend on these prototype homes of the near future, Microsoft does try to include only high-end technologies that it believes will cost consumers six years from now about the same as their mainstream equivalents today. One example was the 2000 version of the Microsoft Home, when Cluts demanded, over protests, that no televisions or monitors with cathode-ray tubes be allowed. “People thought we were crazy because regular-size plasma TVs were selling for US$30,000,” Cluts said. “Now, a 65-inch screen plasma television costs less than $10,000.” Microsoft doesn’t claim to be IT prescient, he said. Some of the technology, such as a digital home entertainment center displayed in the 2000 Home, leads directly to products from Microsoft. In that case, the Media Center versions of Windows XP emerged. Others, such as the video-on-demand technology in the original 1994 home, or a “smart” trash can that could detect garbage and alert homeowners about what to replenish, never make it as products. “It’s like with a concept car,” he said. “Sometimes we make a [Chrysler] PT Cruiser. Sometimes we just make a hunk of glass and metal.”  http://www.cconvergence.com/shared/article/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=193105220 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!    trop dorle     DIAL – A – PRAYER Dial-a-Prayer Call Center in Rome Catholic volunteer call center fields calls from busy faithful. 10/06/2006, 3:46 PM ET Busy Catholics can now outsource their prayers to a call center in Rome. As absurd as it sounds, it’s no joke, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail: 200 volunteer agents at the Sant’Anastasia al Palatino (St Anastasia of the Palatine) Church in Rome answer phones and relay prayer requests to a prayer group. Church rector Father Alberto Pacini: “The idea basically is very simple — we just wanted to offer the possibility of prayer to people who cannot make it to church. In this age of mass media and internet I suppose you could say that it is a sign of the times but if it helps people to come closer to God then it can’t be bad. Obviously I would prefer the people to physically come into church and pray but if they can’t then we are at the end of a telephone and we can do it for them.”  http://www.kamini.fr/ Subject: SVP ne jamais m’envoyer des jambons comme referal :-) Si vous voulez rire, Je commence à faire des entrevues pour le poste de testeur.

Mais la corée sait que militairement, les states n’attaquent que les faibles et les pauvres, et attaquer la corée serait pire que le vietnam et pire que l’irak parce que y feraient une guerre qui deviendrait nucléaire, dans le but d’eviter un conflit nucléaire?  Donc les States ne peuvent plus se permettre d’attaquer l’iran La seule façon qu’il réussissent à attaquer l’iran, c’est avec un false flag attack contre israel, et ce ne serait pas une invasion US-led, mais bien Israeli-led Alors d’une certaine façon, on peut remercier King Jong Ill, parce qu’il connais les américains et il sait a quoi s’attendre d’eux Actuellement en corée, si t’es pas militaire, tu crève de faim, et l’onu propose des sanctions economiques contre la corée, mais ca ne va que toucher le peuple, et ils le savent leur seul choix c’est d’accepter la corée dans les pays qui ont l’arme, sinon y faut qui nuke la corée de façon a ce que la corée ne lance aucune tete ce qui serait evil en criss  A partir du 2 novembre (la semaine avant les élection américaines), HBO vas présenter un documentaire sur comment les machines électroniques ont étés utilisées pour trafiquer les votes en 2000, 2002 et 2004.

But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is America’s democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY exposes gaping holes in the security of America’s electronic voting system when it debuts THURSDAY, NOV. 2 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) – less than a week before the midterm elections – exclusively on HBO. Other HBO playdates: Nov. 5 (9:00 a.m.), 7 (9:00 a.m., 6:30 p.m.), 13 (12:30 p.m., 10:00 p.m.), 18 (6:00 p.m.) and 26 (1:15 a.m.).HBO2 playdates: Nov. 4 (noon), 7 (11:45 p.m.), 10 (6:30 p.m.) and 15 (3:00 a.m.). In the 2000 presidential election, an electronic voting machine recorded minus 16,022 votes for Al Gore in Volusia County, Fla. While fraud was never proven, the faulty tally alerted computer scientists, politicians and everyday citizens to the very real possibility of computer hacking during elections. In 2002, Seattle grandmother and writer Bev Harris asked officials in her county why they had acquired electronic touch screen systems for their elections. Unsatisfied with their explanation, she set out to learn about electronic voting machines on her own. In the course of her research, which unearthed hundreds of reported incidents of mishandled voting information, Harris stumbled across an “online library” of the Diebold Corporation – which counted around 40 percent of the presidential votes nationwide – discovering a treasure trove of information about the inner-workings of the company’s voting system. Harris brought this proprietary “secret” information to computer security expert Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University, who determined that the software lacked the necessary security features to prevent tampering. Her subsequent investigation took her from the trash cans of Texas to the secretary of state of California and finally to Florida, where a “mini-election” to test the vulnerability of the memory cards used in electronic voting produced alarming results. As the scope of her mission grew, Harris drew on the expertise of other computer-science experts, politicians and activists, among them: Andy Stephenson, candidate for secretary of state in Washington state; Susan Bernecker, Republican candidate in New Orleans; Kathleen Wynne, an activist from Cleveland; Hugh Thompson, director, Security Innovations, Inc.; Ion Sancho, Florida’s supervisor of elections; and Harri Hursti, a computer-security analyst. Academics, public officials and others seen in interview footage include: Deanie Low, supervisor of elections, Volusia County, Fla.; Mark Radke, marketing director of Diebold; David Cobb, presidential candidate, Green Party; Rep. Stephanie Tubbs-Jones of Ohio; and Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. Diebold software, or other software like it, is installed in thousands of counties across 32 states. David Dill, professor of computer science at Stanford, says the problem is that there are “lots of people involved in writing the software, and lots of people who could have touched the software before it went into that machine. If one of those people put something malicious in the software and it’s distributed to all the machines, then that one person could be responsible for changing tens of thousands of votes, maybe even hundreds of thousands, across the country.” In Florida, Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho presided over a trial “mini-election” to see if the vote could be hacked without being detected. Before votes were actually cast, computer analyst Harri Hursti “stuffed the ballot box” by entering votes on the computer’s memory card. Then, after votes were cast, the results displayed when the same memory card was entered in the central tabulating program indicated that fraud was indeed possible. In other words, by accessing a memory card before an election, someone could change the results – a claim Diebold had denied was possible. Ultimately, Bev Harris’ research proved that the top-secret computerized systems counting the votes in America’s public elections are not only fallible, but also vulnerable to undetectable hacking, from local school board contests to the presidential race. With the electronic voting machines of three companies – Diebold, ESS and Sequoia – collectively responsible for around 80 percent of America’s votes today, the stakes for democracy are high. One of the executive producers of HACKING DEMOCRACY is Sarah Teale, whose previous HBO credits include “Dealing Dogs” and “Bellevue: Inside Out.” HACKING DEMOCRACY was directed by Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels; produced by Simon Ardizzone, Robert Carrillo Cohen and Russell Michaels; executive producers, Earl Katz, Sarah Teale and Sian Edwards; edited by Sasha Zik. For HBO: supervising producer, John Hoffman; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.

The only drawback is that it is so short at 1 minute 22 seconds, BUT I think Vogue assumed people would have it looping, which is what this song was made for. Technical Rating: Excellent / Professional Vogue is a master composer and tracker, and it is evident from this song. He also has the notability of being the main developer of the tracking program FastTracker, and exploited its capabilites in making this song. This is also a good song to use as a tracking tutorial, with its many uses of effects like pattern breaking.
