Uber is taking New York City to court after lawmakers capped the number of cars allowed on the ride-sharing app.

Legislation passed by the New York City Council in August of last year imposed a yearlong pause on new vehicle licenses for Uber and Lyft drivers. Lawmakers who advocated for the restriction said it will help ease congestion. But Uber is pushing back on that, arguing the moratorium will create far more problems than it will solve.

"Rather than rely on alternatives supported by transportation experts and economists, the City chose to significantly restrict service, growth and competition by the for-hire vehicle industry, which will have a disproportionate impact on residents outside of Manhattan who have long been underserved by yellow taxis and mass transit," Uber's lawsuit says.

Mayor Bill deBlasio, who helped champion the restriction, did so under the guise that the yearlong window would allow the city to conduct a "study" on traffic outcomes. But that seems to have been a farce, as he recently told WNYC's Brian Lehrer that the caps will be "ongoing." With that in mind, it's likely the move was in service to a dying taxi industry, which has struggled to compete with Uber and Lyft's low prices and convenience.

The legislation also instituted minimum pay rules for drivers. That's bound to be a problem as well, since ride-sharing companies will deal with it by raising prices, which may discourage riders. And the state's mandated compensation increase is at odds with their vehicle cap, as the latter reduces opportunities for drivers to actually


take advantage of any bump in pay.

"The City Council's new law guarantees a living wage for drivers, and the administration should not have blocked New Yorkers from taking advantage of it by imposing a cap," Harry Hartfield, a spokesperson for Uber, said in a statement to Reason. The company has endorsed a congestion pricing plan, which would allow the city to levy a surcharge on vehicles serving higher-density areas. "We agree that fighting congestion is a priority, which is why we support the state's vision for congestion pricing, the only evidence-based plan to reduce traffic and fund mass transit."

Indeed, the current data does not justify New York City's move. A report released by transportation consultant Bruce Schaller was hailed by ride-sharing critics, as it concluded that Uber andstates: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, and Nevada.

The National Journal includes Florida as a toss-up, and that’s a fair addition. Although Rubio enjoyed a comfortable lead over Democrat Patrick Murphy and the DSCC pulled its funding for Murphy, the race has tightened in recent days.

Politico provides an analysis of the six states (excluding Florida) that are up for grabs and that will determine the Senate majority.

The Senate will be won, insiders say, in a half-dozen states that could go either way on Election Day: The traditional swing states of Nevada, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire, and the newly competitive states of North Carolina, Missouri and Indiana, which historically lean Republican.

Marlene Dietrich, Queen of Light(ing)

These few words define the parameters of Shanghai Express (1932), a film about a Dangerous Time And Place where characters have little control over anything, namely rail travel from Peking to Shanghai.

The word express in the film title is a bit of sneering irony; this is not a fast, efficient train. In an early scene, the train is delayed by livestock on the track. En route to Shanghai, the train is stopped by government agents, then is later held up by violent rebels.

Naturally, there are a variety of passengers on this train, including Shanghai Lily, (Marlene Dietrich), a woman famous for her, uh, romances. She shares a train compartment with Anna May Wong, a no-nonsense woman of ethereal beauty and sadness.

Corn plants contaminated with Fusarium verticilloides were harvested at two dates and ensiled in laboratory silos. The stability of Fumonisins B1 and B2 (FB1, FB2) was studied and the effects of inoculant use (Lactobacillus buchneri) and of the ensiling time were assessed. The occurrence of masked fumonisins was also investigated. After the extraction of the free forms (FB1, FB2), the residue was subjected to an alkaline hydrolysis resulting in the release of derivates subsequently detected by LC-HESI-MS/MS. The ensiling time has shown to be a significant factor for the evolution of free FB1 and FB2 at the 2nd harvest date. Moreover, the use of inoculant had a significant effect on the stability of hidden and total FB1 at the


Inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1943 novella Le Petit Prince, the recently released animated film The Little Prince is utterly essential. It is the essential film to watch in 2016 – not merely among animated films or children’s movie, but across all cinema. Likewise, its message and mores – particularly regarding Materialism, Maturation, and their intersection in Death – though certainly not subtle, are every bit as essential today as when Saint-Exupéry wrote his work during the Second World War. And The Little Prince is thematically essential – that is to say, the central theme of the film is the question of what is truly essential, with the chief conflict centering on two competing definitions of such.

The first approach is epitomized from the opening scenes of the film.Amisulpride for schizophrenia.
The treatment of schizophrenia with old, 'typical' antipsychotic drugs such as haloperidol can be problematic, because many people treated with these drugs will suffer from movement disorders. Amisulpride is said to be an "atypical" antipsychotic which induces less movement disorder and which is effective for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. To evaluate the effects of amisulpride as compared with placebo, typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia. The authors carried out electronic searches of Biological Abstracts (1982-1999), CINAHL (1982-1999), Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 1999), Cochrane Schizophrenia Group's Register (November 2000), EMBASE (1980-1999), LILACS(1982-1999), MEDLINE (1966-1999) and PsycLIT (1974-1999). They checked all identified studies for further trial citations, and sought these studies in the Science Citation Index. They also contacted authors of trials and the manufacturer of

A benefit concert to raise awareness of alternative treatments for the blood disorder sickle cell anemia will be held Sunday afternoon at the Elegant Manor in the West Adams district. Sickle cell anemia affects more then 50,000 African Americans. "The whole purpose of the event is to bring attention to drugless therapy to heal and stop the fatalities caused by sickle cell," said Somayah Peaches Moore Kambui of the Crescent Alliance Self-Help for Sickle Cell organization.

Sickle cell anemia causes a cascade of painful and disabling complications that leadfrom their physician as treatment for the debilitating blood disorder. Federal health officials recently found that hydroxyurea was effective in reducing the frequency of painful sickle cell anemia attacks. Daily doses of the drug also helped lower the need for hospitalization, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which released the test results Jan. 30.

Researchers have for the first time performed a successful bone marrow transplant to cure sickle cell disease in adults, a feat that could expand the procedure to more of the 70,000 Americans with the disease -- and possibly some other diseases as well. About 200 children have been cured of sickle cell with transplants, but the procedure was considered too harsh for adults with severe sickle cell disease. Now a team from


the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins University is reporting today in the New England Journal of Medicine that it has developed a much-less-toxic transplant procedure and used it to cure nine of the first 10 patients studied.

Bayne Rallies to Finish 17th at Texas

A day after Trevor Bayne scored his first ever Nationwide Series victory and clinched Ford Motor Company’s third Nationwide Series Manufacturers’ Title and the first for the Mustang, he was poised to make some more headlines with the No. 21 Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Fusion in the Sprint Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway.

But one disappointing run late in the race robbed him of a chance to finish among the leaders in the AAA Texas 500.

Bayne started 13th but fell a lap down during a long stretch of green-flag racing. He eventually raced his way into the “Lucky Dog” spot as the first driver one lap down, then when Jimmie Johnson spun on Lap 241, Bayne was able to rejoin the lead lap.

When diverse scattered accounts are pilfered and depleted without authorization in Switzerland, resulting in several multi-$billion class action lawsuits in Zurich, all kept dutifully out of the news, that is one thing. But when a few key official government gold accounts are ransacked in systematic fashion from established trusted locations, defying and betraying the trust of the German Govt and other national governments, that is quite another. To be sure, the system can tolerate ransacking and replacing with scurried harried efforts the Venezuelan gold account like in 2011. The media told the story with creativity


a death sequence just a passing, or calling a business bankruptcy just a bad skein on its account, or calling a home foreclosure just an opportunity to clean house. The nation and the world are undergoing a death sequence for the USDollar regime, and a vigorous corrupt defense to extend its life, in order to maintain power, to continue gigantic thefts, to perpetuate gigantic bond frauds, and to enable foreign account thefts of the traditional type and related to gold. The hidden motive in the Libyan overthrow of Qaddafi was to steal his 144 tons of gold held in London. The banksters needed it. The action and the reporting of the events were typical distractions laced with fiction.

HORRENDOUS STORM DAMAGE

The nation is heavily distracted by the Hurricane Sandy,its wind, its water, the resulting floods, the resulting electrical power outage, and ruined businesses, the controversies over flood damage versus wind rain and storm damage for insurance coverage. Look for Sandy to surpass Katrina in its total storm damage, which was $105 billion in 2005. Basic research indicates Sandy and Katrina had much in common, as the mad scientists attempt to play god. The efforts to produce a mild winter a year ago might have had a sling shot effect of generating a potent drought. The path was open for a unique storm, called once in a century, for the NorthEast. My memory is clear of the last hurricane to hit the region, which was Julia. The Jackass taped windows in the Boston area all for naught,


its vault systems left unsecure.

The Hurricane Sandy storm damage will reach far past the $100 billion level, probably closer to $200 billion. The center of the impact was the NorthEast, the most densely populated area of the country. Already 20% of the entire US population has been affected, with almost 7 million homes without power. Insurance firms will be depleted, at a time when their income has been hampered by the ultra-low USTBond yields, coupled with mortgage bond losses. The USFed will receive a big boost in destroying final demand, as the central bank has conducted a hidden agenda to keep commodity prices down by harming the general economy and thus reducing final demand. They will next enjoy hypocrisy of high order, as the economy pauses, then energizeswith rebuilding and cleanup. The central bankers will talk of a boost and stimulus. The price of lumber and cement might become a problem later on. Time to fix the broken windows and mop up the flooded living rooms. It is all good, as people are back to work, the economic recovery enhanced.

Back to the topic today. The global monetary war has escalated. It began with a profound bond fraud backed by mortgages, often with duplicate usage of income streams. It extended to sovereign bond wreckage, from deep government deficits, from wasteful bank aid to ward off insolvency, and lost trust of heretofore sacrosanct bonds. The war continues. It extended to the desperation by big Western banks to redeem their bonds by USFed and EuroCB

June 22, 2011

DUGONG, CON DAO ISLANDS, VIETNAM

SIREN SONGS OF CON DAO

The wind, Yarralee

The wind blew hard that early April morning over the Con Dao Archipelago in the East Sea, 200 km off the southern Vietnamese mainland. In the last seven days tropical storm Neoguri, had been heading towards the coast of Vietnam before it turned north towards China. Brooding clouds sailed across the sky like great ethereal ships making for an anchorage over the peaks of Con Son, the largest island of fifteen in the archipelago. The wind bore the persona of a woman letting her hair down in a tempestuous, passionate mood and I call her Yarralee. Like a siren, she echoed a haunting melody,


fluting through the crannies of the rocky slope as I clambered precariously to the peak of Lo Voi Cape.

The Sirenian, Dugong dugon

Dugong, Con Dao Islands, Vietnam

The cape, flanked by Con Son and Dat Doc Bays overlooks the reefs and seagrass meadows which are the feeding grounds of the Sirenian, Dugong dugon. It was mainly from this vantage point that Nick Cox had documented his observations of the dugong between November 2001 and January 2002.

Braving weather and sea conditions in the mornings and afternoons, Nick listed thirty-three individual dugongs of which fourteen were juveniles at depths between three to five meters. In thirty-seven days of observations, he noted some dugongs stayed on the surface for over eight minutes and submerged for an average of five minutes. The dugongs wouldsurface almost horizontally, exhale in a mist of water, arch or roll and dive head first, flicking its tail flukes above the water. On several occasions Nick saw mother and calves together and once 3 dugongs together. As the dugongs drifted in the current and foraged in the seagrass meadows, Nick noted some playful aspects of dugong behavior:

“On two occasions dugongs were seen in water as shallow as 1m, approaching the beaches to the left and right-hand-side of the rock point. During the first occasion two similarly sized dugong juveniles were observed chasing each other at swimming speeds considerably faster than normal, nudging one another with their heads. A second event involved a dugong adult spinning along its length whilst swimming forwards in the shallow surf. Clearly visible


small swells surging steadily over the reefs onto the beaches below. Yarralee ruffled my hair as I contemplated the fate of the dugongs in Con Dao.

Dugong mortalities & anecdotal sightings

Available reports of dugong mortalities from 1977 indicated a total of eleven dead from drowning in fishing nets or unknown causes. The latest was a dugong found dead in January 2011 at Con Son harbor. It was about 12 years old at a meter and a half long, weighing some 80 kilos. The cause of death was unknown.

Besides the observation made by Nick Cox, anecdotal sightings include seven to ten dugongs between June and October 1996 by fishermen from Hong who were culturing coral reef fishes in Con Son Bay. At the end of January 2007, two adults anda juvenile dugong had appeared together in Con Son bay off the town waterfront. For four consecutive afternoons, the dugongs were watched by tourists and residents as they frolicked for about half an hour. In 1998, scientist L. J Porter sighted about seven to ten dugongs at the south eastern tip of Con Son Island. In such inclement seas, my foray to the lookout point atop Lo Voi Cape had not yielded any sightings, although Nick had made observations during choppy and rough sea conditions. I must confess that I have yet to encounter the dugong in several extended visits to Con Dao since 1995 but have been compensated with other aspects of the archipelago’s fascinating flora and fauna. I clambered down the cape buffeted by Yarralee.

Other creatures


of Con Dao

Con Dao is splendid in its remoteness with its hilly, forested landscape, sand dune hillocks and marshes and much of its flora and fauna protected in national park zones. The shorelines are buffered by mangrove or sculptured boulders while tidal grottoes are carved out of sheer cliffs. Bays are fringed by lively reefs, with white coral sands or pebbly beaches. The unique diversity of the archipelago’s topography and micro-climate host a menagerie of terrestrial and aquatic species.

In the forests, I have often encountered loquacious birds flitting through the canopy in waves, the endemic Black Giant Squirrel scrambling about fruiting trees and Long-tailed Macaques roving on the ground. In the months of March and April, migratory herons and egrets in bright breeding plumage gather by the lotus,island of Bay Canh, a French colonial lighthouse built in 1887 stands like a lonely sentinel at the edge of the easternmost peak, 212 meters above the landing beach. A steep concrete pathway through the jungle leads to the low walled compound of the living quarters girding the beacon tower, surrounded by Frangipani trees. Inside, rooms with huge arched windows flank the aisle leading to the spiral staircase of the beacon tower.

On the night I stayed over as guest of the lighthouse keeper, the wind was furious, whistling through the shuttered windows and swaying the supple branches of the Frangipani trees in a sensuous dance, scattering fragrant white blooms. The rotating beacon threw cones of light into the darkness, its triple beams visible at ten second intervals from

Clams are often harvested for food and once I had dived with the Park’s resident marine biologist to collect giant clams for relocation to the safe haven of waters fronting Cat Lon beach. Here, rangers are stationed to protect the reefs and turtle nesting site.

Turtles in the night

Cat Lon beach, on the narrow spit of land that connects the two parts of Bay Canh Island, is among some seventeen beaches known as nesting sites of the endangered Green and Hawksbill turtle. In previous years, between the months of June and September, some 300 turtles nested annually on five of these beaches including Cat Lon. On a visit there Ihad seen hatchlings the rangers had placed in basins to be released at night; slipped into the sea in the cloak of darkness, free of winged predators, monitor lizards and fish active during daylight. I sat out in the darkness between two and five in the morning, watching meteors blaze fading trails through the atmosphere to the symphony of the surf and crinkling shell debris. I scanned for turtles coming ashore but it was only at dawn when I ventured to the far end of the beach that I saw the tracks of a turtle that had come to nest undetected.

For freedom, for life
The history of the archipelago is at once tumultuous and poignant. Like the siren songs that threatened to


lure Odysseus and his men to their deaths, thousands of Vietnamese, enraptured by the song of freedom, were imprisoned in Con Dao during the French colonial era early in the 19th century. It continued to serve as a penal island during the Vietnam War and came to the attention of the world when Tom Harkin (now Iowa’s US Senator) exposed its infamous “Tiger Cages” with photographs published in Life Magazine.

slyly erotic poetry is fading away. Another Donne is coming in his place.

Some of this transformation was related to the religious politics of his day. Donne’s family was devoutly Catholic. His brother Henry was arrested and brutally tortured over his suspected links to a Catholic insurrection, and once harbored a Catholic priest, which was then regarded as an act of treason. He died a gruesome death from bubonic plague at Newgate Prison. The experience affected Donne deeply. He later came under intense pressure to distance himself from his Catholicism, and then to take orders as an Anglican. Donne could have ignored this pressure only at great peril, since it came directly from the king and senior court officials (note this curious language in the poem: “All just supply,and all relation;/ Prince, subject”). Ultimately, he succumbed, writing anti-Catholic tracts and taking Anglican orders. From John Donne, Catholic, occasional poet, and minor lawyer, emerged John Donne, Anglican divine.

These facts surely help us better understand the words “new philosophy calls all in doubt,/ The element of fire is quite put out.” The “new philosophy” becomes Protestantism, the force of the Reformation, the force that shattered Donne’s world, and the force he embraced in order to survive (“For every man alone thinks he hath got/ To be a phoenix”). But it is also a new spirit of inquiry, a love of science, a rejection of the old constraints of dogma. It is the new world being born in England, one filled with new tensions and conflicts. Donne’s attitude toward


The Bright Light Social Hour: An evolution in song

InSpotify Essentials, the Daily Dot curates custom playlists created by some of our favorite artists and writers. In this installment, The Bright Light Social Hour shares the music that's pushing the Austin indie band into bold new territory.

The unending rhythms of the road became our crucible of change.

Following the bawdy party-rock of our first record, we toured for nearly four years, growing increasingly restless with doing the same thing on repeat. As convivial as the nights-on-end could be, we found ourselves looking deeper, and the van stereo became the spot where we would forge the kind of music that would matter to us after the party.

Comfort and inspiration first came as we fell headlong into electronic music. The pulsing urgencyand glittering neon of Kraftwerk's "Tour de France" or Groof's "Islands" felt autobiographical among the city-light swirl, mirroring in their stately, minimal repetition the never-ending miles of highway we managed to rack up. Countless imbibed mornings-after found us falling into the arms of more delicate music as well, whether getting lost in Beaches' snaky lines of feedback-addled reverb or the bleary plush of Toro y Moi's "Campo."

We found solace in even stranger places, like the quaking cacophony of Coltrane's "India" or the thundering, angular shards of Can. Most of all we came to admire fearlessness.

After listening to an audiobook of Miles Davis's autobiography, we started on a marathon of his music that hasn't yet subsided. Records like On the Corner encouraged us that dramatic transformations can be vital,


important, and even necessary to keep going. Similarly, the Flaming Lips became heroes to us. How many would be so brave to nestle passages of wistful ‘70s soft rock among a record of bellowing sonic carnage as in their "Silver Trembling Hands"?

However, he denied symptoms of dyspnea, orthopnea, or other symptoms consistent with a cardiovascular etiology.

John Jenkinson (British politician)

Captain John Robert Jenkinson (?1734 – 1 May 1805) was a British Army officer, courtier and Member of Parliament.

Biography
He was born the third son of Colonel Charles Jenkinson and was the younger brother of Charles Jenkinson, 1st Earl of Liverpool. He was educated at Charterhouse School.

As a courtier he was a Page of Honour to King George II from 1748 to 1752, a gentleman usher to the Queen from 1761 to his death, the second (or Ulster) secretary to the Lord Lieutenant in Ireland for 1773–75 and joint secretary to the Lord Lieutenant in England in 1775.

As a soldier he was a Cornet in the 2nd Troop of Horse Guards in 1752 and a captain in 1762. He then transferred as a captain toSee my profile for a description of this new serial. Seasons of Love: Autumn, Episode 1. Two high school sophomores, Kent Thomas and Holly Snow, fall in love - but not yet with each other - and make their first attempts to get close to their crush.

After walking halfway down the block to her house, Holly pulled the key out of her pocket to unlock the front door and step inside, where she tossed her backpack onto the blue couch in the living room and took a seat beside it. She had some weekend homework to get started on, but she wasn't in the mood right now, and besides, she had two full days to work on it. She pulled out her cell phone and speed-dialed her father


their food containers were almost empty, and as she reached for their seed on the rack underneath the cage, she got an idea. Taking a few minutes to refill the blue and green (respectively) parakeets' food perches with seed, she afterward closed the cage and whistled at her feathered friends. "Pinky? Brain? I'm here now. You two miss me?" She smiled, then put one hand on top of the black metal cage, and closed her eyes. She inhaled and exhaled several times, calming herself, before practicing hypothetical exchanges with the new guy in her life.

Keeping her eyes shut tight, she began: "Hi, there…um, Kent." She waved at him, imagining the two of them were on campus, and put her hand down. "Do you remember me? You do?! …Yeah,from an imaginary man in the sky in the first place. As her father had explained to her after her failed dates in her freshman year, high school relationships, while important experiences in the long run, were generally not meant to last. The truth hurts.

Holly thought about Jimmy and Claire, and how they worked as a couple. Given his frequent absence from their group, choosing to hang out with his friends instead, it was obvious their chemistry was moderate at best. Jimmy and Claire both seemed to know this, but they persevered, and for that, they earned props.

Alas, she knew too little—much, much too little—about Kent. It was too early to tell how well the two of them could, and possibly would, bond, due in no small part


to the mutual muteness they'd decided to enforce at lunchtime. Holly felt stupid again, but with any luck, it was a shared stupidity, and what's love but two people being stupid together?

When Kent reached his large, but not particularly extravagant, house, he followed his usual routine of going upstairs to put his backpack in his room, then going back downstairs to make like Baha Men and let his dogs, two golden retrievers, outside, and while they were playing in the well-fenced backyard, he went to his phone in the kitchen to call his mother on her cell phone at work and let her know that he was home safe from school. Once he gave the oft-repeated messages ("I'm home now", followed by "Good" after she asked how the"you can do it", and other such phrases recycled in movies everywhere had taken their toll on him. Nevertheless, corrupted by Disney films like many a child, Kent was guilty of embracing these known falsehoods, and despite all evidence to the contrary, he continued to daydream about being a Prince Charming to Claire. God, he was lonely and stupid.

"I have to get back to work now, Kent. We'll talk more about this tonight."

"All right," Kent said. "Bye."

"I love you. Bye."

Kent always felt guilty about not being able to say, "I love you" back to his parents. He knew it was the right thing to do, but it just made him uncomfortable. Sure, his parents loved him, at least to the extent they were required to by the law,


but to Kent, they were both kind of jerks, caring more about their relative wealth than about their own son. His godparents—his mother's sister and her husband—currently living in New Jersey were much more like real parents to Kent. The two of them may have only seen him once every few years, but every time he visited them, he felt more at home in their out-of-state house than at his own here in California.

Furthermore, Kent longed to say those three words to a lover. He wished it could be Claire, but in the back of his mind he foresaw disappointment surrounding that relationship, for both her and him. Even if she did ultimately take to his liking, Kent was worried that in some way he wouldn't be ableto satisfy her, and, more likely, that she would see his lack of impressive characteristics and (rightfully so) leave him for someone else. Knowingly a below-average looker, the only two things Kent had in his favor were his height (which he was tired of people commenting on, how much he looks like his father and all that), and his money (which he refused to mention whenever possible, like today, for instance, because once people know you're rich, they don't care about you as a human being anymore). In short, he had nothing. His "nice guy" status may have added a few points here or there, but girls don't care how nice you are. They need to be impressed, and that skill was not in Kent's repertoire.

He headed out


the back door, down the steps and onto the porch before reaching the dogs on the grass of the backyard. The older one, Beamer, now in his seventh year, was rolling around like he usually did in the grass, while Shelby, his younger companion (and mate, if he hadn't been neutered) was running over to Kent, her tail wagging furiously as she begged her owner to throw the slobbery tennis ball she was holding tightly in her jaws. "You have to drop it," Kent said. More déjà vu; she did this every day. "I can't throw the ball if you don't drop it." He pet her on the forehead, and had to wait another minute before she finally let the ball go and the game of fetch couldrolled open the cabinet door next to the television to reveal her dad's stereo system and turned it on to listen to the radio. "First Time" by Lifehouse was playing on KROQ. A song about first love, well, isn't that just perfect. Holly was tempted to change the station, the theme of the rock piece too timely, too close to her heart to make a pleasant listen, but she enjoyed the song anyway. Retaking her place on the sofa, she began applying the lyrics she was hearing to a hypothetical life with Kent; too bad it was only a possibility and not yet reality. Did everybody start applying love songs to their lives once they began having these feelings? Well, she'd done a good job taking her mind


off the matter. The thought of hanging out with Rusty, Claire, and their old friend Mary Jane tomorrow sounded increasingly therapeutic. "This is going to be a long year," she said.

Kent was working on his Algebra 2 homework in his room, sitting on the carpet and leaning against the side of his bed, when the telephone rang. He put down his pencil and papers (plus the book he was resting on his legs and using as a hard surface) as quickly as he could and rushed into his parents' bedroom, picking the cordless phone up from its place on his mother's dresser. "Hello?"

"Hey, man. It's Rick."

"Oh. Hi. What's up?"

"You tell me, dude."

"Not much." He didn't want the willingly obnoxious Rick to know about his newfound romantic escapade, lestlonely. I'll see you around. Bye."

A dial tone replaced Rick's voice as he ended the conversation. Kent put the handset of the phone back in its place, and then walked back into his room to finish his math homework. His black iPod classic was charging on a dock on his desk, speakers on either side of it begging to be used, especially considering its owner knew he worked better with music playing in the background. Kent turned on the iPod and put it on shuffle, and the first song to turn up was one of the relatively few modern songs in his collection, "First Time" by Lifehouse. It was a strange coincidence that such an appropriate song would turn up, but there were hundreds of songs in his


mp3 player, and any one of them could have appeared instead. The fact that this song happened to come first was merely circumstantial; it meant nothing. Right? Real life wasn't like a work of fiction; events like these were one-in-a-million moments. Right?

While completing the last third of his work, Kent threw aside the thought of life imitating art and decided instead to contemplate the equally heavy thought of how he should handle going back to Claire and her friends on Monday. He'd already tried the gentle route, joining them without complication, but his fear of saying anything, combined with their own obvious discomfort around him, had resulted in a sorely disappointing day. He knew he had to try again, next time actually sharing information with them, but shouldBecome a Fan

Will Next World War Begin in 2014?

World War I started 100 years ago, in 1914. We have hesitated to predict such bad news, but recent rumblings over a "currency war" smack of the same rhetoric and situation 100 years ago.

Back then, Great Britain was beginning to go in decline as the world's super power. Today America is beginning to go in decline as the world's super power.

A currency war would be America's next-to-last-gasp attempt to remain #1 in the world. The war would be fought with Internet denial of service hackers on both sides. It would begin if China pulls the financial plug on its U.S. investments, although other countries are chipping away at the supremacy of the U.S. dollar. I hope not, but What do

Joseph Miles Abell, Jr., M.D. Austin physician Joseph M. Abell, Jr., 79, died at home October 17, 2011 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Dr. Abell was born in Houston, Texas, January 19, 1932, to Joseph Miles Abell and Julia Weathers Abell of Houston and Austin. He attended St. Anne's School, Lanier Junior High School, St. Thomas High School, class of 1950, and Texas A&M University, class of 1954, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets and the Ross Volunteers. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, in 1957. For the next five years, 1957 to 1962, Dr. Abell served his internship and his surgery and orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. He moved from Ann


Arbor to Austin in August 1962, founded Austin Orthopaedic Clinic, and practiced orthopaedic surgery in Austin from 1962 to 2007. He was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honors from The University of Texas at Austin in 1991. A member of St. Austin Catholic Church for half a century, he also was a Eucharistic Minister for 23 years. He was a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He also was a member of the American Medical Association, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Surgical Society, Frederick A. Coller Surgical Society, American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, and the Wilderness Medical Society. He held numerous leadership positionsin many of these organizations.

In addition, he authored 59 publications and made 65 formal presentations in eight states and nine foreign countries. An active member of the staffs of Brackenridge, Seton, and St. David's Hospitals in Austin, he served all three as Chief of Service or Committee Chair, or both. Joe and Mary served as Capital Campaign Chairs for the construction and

The Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at St. Austin's Catholicfar, President Clinton had been the perpetual go-between. That role is now rightfully going to Mr Kofi Annan. Israel has been opposing this development but perhaps it also knows that it is inevitable.

IT is hard to believe that a sober and clear-headed leader like Mr
L.K. Advani will wade into a totally unavoidable controversy. On Tuesday he called in a select group of reporters to defend his presence at the RSS mahashivir at Agra. Most national dailies carried photographs of the Home Minister saluting the bhagwa jhanda and listening to a lecture of the RSS chief issuing provocative advice to the minorities. Naturally the opposition parties latched on to this to sharply criticise him. As a senior leader he should have let it pass since he has already made


an ideological statement by attending a high profile RSS meeting and establishing his formal and unbreakable links with the mother of the Sangh Parivar. As it is, his attendance at the Agra meeting where many made highly controversial statements like accusing the Christians (all Christians) of harbouring militants and asking the Muslims to get themselves Hinduised by joining the mainstream, was violative of the propriety of being the Home Minister. A Home Minister should not associate himself with such sectarian sentiments and it was evident that he shared them since he patiently listened to the Sudarshan diatribe. A Home Minister doing this in a country which has earned global encomium for nursing a multi-religious and multi-cultural polity?

It is regrettable that he compounded this lapse of official nicety bydefending his action and inventing improbable arguments. He said that he and other senior BJP leaders have a ďhistoricalĒ link with the RSS which provides moral guidance to the political party. He is remiss in mistaking his personal links as historical, since an individual cannot claim historical importance which should be left to history to decide. Two, an organisation can provide ideological inspiration and not moral guidance which is strictly personal. He went beyond these. He compared the RSS leadership of the BJP to the role of Mahatma Gandhi in the Nehru government and JPís in the Morarji Desai-led Janata set-up. He was comparing individuals to an institution and advocates of absolute idealism to an organisation that is suspect in the eyes of many. The RSS is not


universally accepted as Gandhism or Jayaprakash Narayanís fight against corruption in high places, nor is it open to criticism as these two towering leaders were. There were many who disagreed with Gandhiís policies but not one who feared them. Similarly, JP attracted a lot of flak for promoting the RSS cause but even the Left did not question his basic policy thrust. There is thus no basis for comparison of the RSS with either Gandhi or JP.

Then there is the question of political compulsion of Mr Advani. Before his press conference he had made his obligatory obeisance to the RSS on two occasions. He was part of the Prime
Minister's team that paid floral tributes at the samadhi of the RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar at Nagpur during theYadav cannot be trusted with the administration of Bihar because of his role in the diversion of the Alliance Air flight to Patna for obliging the contingent of MPs from the state. As Railway Minister another leader from Bihar, Mr Ram Vilas Paswan, turned his constituency Hajipur into a railway division defying logic and prescribed norms.

How about Mr Nitish Kumar being asked to return to Bihar once again? He too is a former Railway Minister and as Samata Party leader has made the astounding announcement that all those wanting to attend the Patna rally on Thursday need not bother to buy rail or bus tickets. Attending a political rally organised by his party is a duty, he would argue, of the people of Bihar for which they should


be provided free travel facilities by the government. Mr Pappu Yadav's is another name which keeps hitting the headlines not because of his achievements as a politician or an MP. His reputation as a feared gangster should help him establish his own brand of governance in the state. He will do what he is good at doing. Spread fear and lawlessness to every corner of Bihar. He will travel ticketless, without being advised by Mr Nitish Kumar to do so, on trains passing through Bihar and with the help of his henchmen terrorise other passengers. In the latest incident four girl students from Delhi, three from the National Institute of Fashion Technology and the fourth from Indraprastha College, had no option but to suffer the indignity of beingno dearth of talent. A number of stalwarts then dominated the national scene.

The party, however, opted for Lal Bahadur Shastri. A short-statured person of humble origin, he proved his mettle and generated confidence among the people about his ability to handle national affairs in a democratic way.

The 1965 war with Pakistan brought out certain hidden qualities of Shastri. He gave a unique thrust to the politics of sacrifice by asking every Indian to miss one meal a week. His raising of the slogan of "Jai jawan, jai kisan" put the right focus on the two vital segments of Indian life.

The point I wish to make is that the Indian system is capable of throwing up the right leader at the right time. Mr Vajpayee has been an integral


part of the national scene for long. He has gone through the different phases in the country's political life. As External Affairs Minister in the Janata Party government in 1977 he showed both guts and skill in conducting foreign affairs.

As Prime Minister he had a shaky start. But in today's coalition politics he has proved his worth. He has shown that he is capable of acting as a catalyst despite diverse pulls and counter-pulls. Mr Vajpayee's strategic presence in the 22-party coalition has made all the difference to the performance of the NDA government.

He is undoubtedly the tallest leader and has proved this point beyond any shadow of doubt. His advantage is that while being part of the BJP, he carries with him liberal and secular traditions whichin the politics of pressures and counter-pressures not only from his party and the Sangh Parivar, especially the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), but also from his coalition partners.

At its Agra meet the other day, the RSS leadership raked up the Ayodhya mandir and other issues which are bound to embarrass the Prime Minister. At this juncture, his major concern is the revival of the economy by pushing through the second phase of reforms. It is a hard task ahead. Any diversionary tactics will only weaken the country at a time when the global market is getting more and more competitive.

India, for that matter, cannot afford to lower its guards. It must see to it that it remains competitive in the global market vis-a-vis China, South Korea and other


provide a new answer at the appropriate time. They may have some "dark horse", if the need arises.

Meanwhile, the people's good wishes and prayers should help Mr Vajpayee bounce back and lead the nation with new vigour and enthusiasm. Well, after the problematic left knee having become "right", pray, where is the problem now?

DR RAJ BAHADUR DEHATI has raised pertinent questions on the evaluation of the doctorate thesis in Indian universities (The Tribune, Sept 23). A doctorate degree is the highest academic award given to a candidate in recognition of his original contribution to knowledge either by opening a new line of enquiry or by offering a new interpretation of existing knowledge. In other words, originality in research denotes breaking new ground or revaluation of the existing interpretation,a reinterpretation of extant interpretations. Thus, research is extending the frontiers of knowledge which serves as the key to the understanding of man and his place in the universe. Research covering various fields is the foundation of knowledge, and is an integral part of a teacherís professional life.

Teaching is perhaps the most moving profession, and primarily a teacherís responsibility is twofold, teaching and research, which are inextricably interconnected. Research improves and refines the quality of teaching. Teaching without research is friendship without devotion, and instruments without music. To hold the entire community of supervisors look, stock and barrel for the researchersí problems is unjustified. Of course, there are undeniably quite a number of able supervisors whose valuable guidance has acted as a great intellectual stimulus on the lives


with the growing knowledge, particularly due to the network of information available to us. Research is not a local affair, but international, and its quality has to be judged by international standards. So, in the world as constituted today we have to imbibe and assimilate ideas from different quarters, and to make the best use of them for our creative activity. We cannot afford to live ostrich like, cut off from the current of leading ideas in the world.

About a decade ago due to inadequate emoluments and excessive administrative and academic routine work, there were perhaps legitimate grounds for maintaining the view that it was difficult for teachers to engage themselves in serious research work. But what, unfortunately, is totally missing out in the university campuses is thewealth for themselves. Political corruption thus became a way of life. The nation had thus to suffer the phase of political corruption and black money. These two vices went hand-in-hand and no qualm of conscience was allowed to act as a deterrent.

Apart from money, the politicians also needed muscle power to fight elections and for this they had to rely upon mafia groups, anti-social elements and criminals because they are the main sources of muscle power. As time passed, the leaders of mafia groups, anti-social elements and criminals got the idea that if they could get the politicians elected because of their muscle power, why should they themselves not seek election. The result was that a large number of history-sheeters on police record fought elections and many of


them got elected to legislatures. Some of them even came to occupy ministerial chairs. One effect of that was the havoc it caused to the administration of criminal justice. Effective and purposeful investigation of crime, so essential for securing conviction of the culprits, became difficult because of the interference, and it became almost impossible to secure the conviction of major criminals involved in serious crimes of murder, culpable homicide, grievous hurt, extortion and rape.

Inaction and reluctance on the part of investigating officers and those in charge of vigilance cells was brought to a halt by the Supreme Court. It directed them to spare no one in the investigation of cases relating to amassing of ill-gotten wealth and other offences. Earlier these officials were hesitant to proceed with thekeep them as prisoners nor as slaves. Killing them did not then shock anyone's conscience. Now killing of prisoners of war would send shock waves.

Formerly, men inherited property and it was considered just to give dowry to girls at the time of their marriage. When profit became the motive force of the economy, the dowry system began to be exploited for extracting the most from the parents of the girl. This led to dowry deaths and killing of wives to get married again for a bigger dowry. This led to an outcry and anti-dowry laws were framed. However, dowryless marriages have not yet become part of our value system. That will happen only when equal right of sons and daughters to the property of parents becomes universal in


\'Clever as a Monkey\': French Far-Right Magazine Launches New Racist Attack on Justice Minister Christiane Taubira

A French court has initiated legal proceedings against a far-right magazine after it published a racist slur against the country's black justice minister Christiane Taubira.

Taubira, who last month was compared to an ape by a party member, was the subject of a cover feature published by far-right magazine Minute, with the headline: "Clever as an ape, Taubira gets her banana back".

Taubira, 62, born in Cayenne, the capital of racially divided French Guiana, has been subjected to monkey taunts and other racist abuse since she was nominated Minister of Justice earlier this year.

After the latest abuse, French PM Jean-Marc Ayrault said he asked public prosecutors to "investigate whether these facts may constitute a publicoffence of racially motivated insult".

Also Interior Minister Manuel Valls announced he was assessing possible legal action to withdraw copies of the magazine

"We cannot let this pass," he said. "This is not just Taubira who has been attacked for her colour. It is the Republic, it is France and its values that are under attack."

The Socialist Party also demanded the seizure of all the magazine's copies, while the Union of Jewish Students of France (UEJF) has demanded legal action for incitement to racial hatred.

"It is urgent to stop this escalation of hate speech. Criminalising this publication is an important step," Jonathan Hayoun said.

SOS Racism, a local NGO, said that the new racial baiting "confirms that insulting the minister of justice was not an isolated act."


NEW YORK -- Authorities say a Rikers Island correction officer has been suspended after having sex with an inmate.

A criminal complaint states Nicole Bartley told investigators she was "fooled" by the inmate into a romantic relationship and had planned to bring him marijuana.

Bartley was arrested Saturday after a drug-sniffing dog picked up a scent of marijuana on her when she reported for work.

Authorities didn't find drugs on her but later found marijuana at her home, which they determined was intended for the inmate.

Bartley faces charges of rape, promoting prison contraband and official misconduct. The rape charge stems from a state law that says inmates cannot consent to sex in the jail.

Bartley has been released on $1,000 bail.

It's not clear if she hasat this airport: 88% single-engine, 6% helicopter, and 5% multi-engine.

Set in 1865, with Abraham Lincoln entering his second term of office, the film mainly revolves around Lincoln (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) trying to get the landmark Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution passed through Congress. The brutal Civil War, also known as the 'War between the States', was in its fourth year, a war that claimed the lives of many soldiers on both the Union and Confederacy's sides. The war was sparked around the issue of slavery and its extension into the western territories of the United States. Seven so-called 'slave-states' in the South of the country seceded from the U.S. government and formed the ConfederateStates of America around the time of Lincoln's inauguration as the 16th President of the United States of America. In April 1861 the Confederates attacked Fort Sumter, an important fort held by the U. S. Government. Lincoln, a Republican, was opposed to the continuation of slavery and its expansion to other parts of the United States. The war dragged on for just over four years and saw over six hundred thousand people killed.

Never Go Out Of Style

For a couple of days at the start of this week, it appeared to be all anyone with even the remotest connection to the radio industry could talk about. The “leaked” (ie, a single photograph posted on Twitter) excerpt from a new presenter style guide issued by Bauer to the presenters on its Big City stations in the wake of some brand new positioning. It prompted a great deal of brow-clutching and reaching for the smelling salts of those who determined it to be the final proof that radio had lost its spirit and soul.

The document also inspired some creative responses, such as the quickly knocked together parody by Jack FM, emphasising their own differences, and a near 15-minute rant by talkRADIO’s Iain Lee,base, a cam base steel, a cam slider, a first return assembly, and a second return assembly. The cam base is slidably mounted on the lower die, and secures the material panel together with the formation pad. The cam base steel is mounted on the cam base corresponding to a height of the formation cam, and performs a formation process on the material panel together with the formation cam. The cam slider is mounted on the cam base through a linkage assembly such that the cam slider is able to move with respect to the cam base and vice versa, the formation cam is mounted to a predetermined location of the cam slider opposing the cam base steel, and the cam slider is linked with the operation of


the operational driver to realize a cam operation. The first return assembly is mounted within the cam base and contacting the lower die, and the first return assembly exerts a biasing force to return the cam base to an initial position when displaced from the initial position. The second return assembly is mounted within the cam slider and contacts the lower die, and the second return assembly exerts a biasing force to return the cam slider to an initial position when displaced from the initial position.
Preferably, the linkage assembly includes a rack gear, rotating gears, and an actuating rod. The rack gear is installed on the cam base along a direction of the desired motion of the cam slider. The rotating gears are rotatably mounted to a bottomend of the guide opposite the end mounted to the side wall of the lower die, and the coil spring is interposed between an inside wall of the spring case and the retainer.
It is also preferable that the second return assembly comprises a spring case, a guide bar, a coil spring, and a retainer. The spring case is mounted within the cam slider at a predetermined location. One end of the guide bar is mounted within the spring case, and its other end protrudes from the spring case for mounting to the side wall of the lower die. The coil spring is mounted within the spring case and into which the guide bar is inserted. The retainer is formed on an end of the guide opposite the end


mounted to the side wall of the lower die, and the coil spring is interposed between an inside wall of the spring case and the retainer.
In a further alternative embodiment, a cam base includes an upward extending formation pad and a horizontal track. The cam base is configured and dimensioned to carry a base steel facing the track.

Swiss AviationTraining launches Embraer 190 simulator in Frankfurt

Zurich-based Swiss AviationTraining said it has launched its new CAE Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) 190 full-flight simulator at the Lufthansa Flight Training Center in Frankfurt.

According to SAT, the new facility marks another milestone in SAT´s evolution into an experienced provider of total “E-Jet” training solutions, and further underlines its standing and expertise as a competence centre for integrated cockpit, cabin and technical training.

The simulator, which came in almost 40 cases of components, has been assembled there after a long journey from manufacturer CAE inMontreal by sea to Antwerp and thence by road to Frankfurt on three Natco Ltd. heavy-haul trucks.

SAT said that the whole consignment arrived in February; and now, after extensive installation, the new simulator is “ready to train.”

A cute love story, which was originally a Hallmark Channel movie, made its mark on my heart with its warmth. I loved the bubbles of happiness that coursed through me, while reading this book, each popping up to bring in my smile. It was that kinda book.

Kristen Ethridge’s words had me falling in love with the main character Poppy who was etched oh so lovingly in trails of enthusiasm and sensitivity. I adored the way she dealt with kids, the ideal nanny/mother. She knew the right words to say to them. Ryan, on the other hand, was completely a workaholic, making his phone apps, who had lost his way and needed a nudge to make time for his family.

points by running the ball themselves. Only one is on the field at a time.

Running Back (RB): Running backs usually line up behind (or beside) the QB in the backfield. They carry and catch the ball. They typically take the most amount of hits and punishment. There is typically only one running back on the field at a time, but they are sometimes accompanied by a fullback: A running back-like position that specializes in blocking but is unfortunately irrelevant in fantasy.

Wide Receiver (WR): Wide receivers typically line up wide of the formation. They run downfield and catch passes. There are anywhere from zero to five wide receivers on the field at one time, but typically only two or three. They are usually the fastest players on the offense.

Opened 40 years ago at the height of the Cold War, the Sonnenberg bunker in Lucerne was one of the largest public fallout shelters in the world and is still operational today. The Local takes a tour.

They had a plan. And it seemed like a brilliant one. The city of Lucerne would provide shelter from nuclear fallout for 20,000 people – a third of the city’s population at the time – in two motorway tunnels under the Sonnenberg mountain.

Completed in October 1976 at a cost of 40 million francs, the Sonnenberg bunker was built in response to a unique Swiss law, passed in 1963, that required every citizen to have a place to shelter in the event of outside attack.

The bunker comprised a seven-storey logistics centreEthan Cohen ("The Big Lebowski") co-wrote and co-directed this 2004 comedy remake starring Tom Hanks as the leader of a group of idiotic criminals attempting to pull off a heist from the bottom of an old lady's basement.

What's Coming Jan. 31: "WordsNationalism's Contribution to the Origin of World War II

To what extent did nationalism contribute to the origins of the Second World War? (2011, 2)

GERMANY:-Hitler exploited the German people’s disillusionment with the Treaty of Versailles in order to come to power. He promised that he would fix the economy and pay off reparations, as well as increase employment. -Hitler made the people believe that only his leadership was strong enough to lead Germany back towards greatness. The German people had little faith in their government at that point (they felt it was weak) and were therefore susceptible to Hitler’s nationalistic appeals. -After being appointed Chancellor in 1933, Hitler instituted numerous nationalistic policies that led Germany towards WWII

Social/Economic Policies
-Reduced unemployment-Appointed Hjalmar Schacht as Minister of Economics in 1934; in 1935,


Policy
-Hitler slowly began to strengthen the military more and more until the beginning of WWII -Withdrew from League of Nations in 1933
-Expanded navy and air force*Anglo-German Naval Agreement (AGNA) of 1935 allowed for Germany to increase the size of its navy to 35% the size of the British fleet -Germany also violated the Treaty of Versailles by reoccupying the Rhineland beginning 1936 -Hitler sent troops to aid Franco’s Fascist revolution in Spain -From 1938 onwards, the ultimate goal of all of Hitler’s policies were to begin a war -Hitler believed that the German economic crisis could only truly be alleviated at that point by a policy of military aggression, namely towards seizing Austria & Czechoslovakia

USSR:-After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the other nations at Versailles, fearing the spreadof communism, did not invite Russia to the peace proceedings, even though Russia had been on the winning side *Russians felt betrayed

-USSR was a single-party, Communist state comprised of numerous smaller countries, led by Joseph Stalin from 1941-1953 (even before he became full leader, he was still in charge of the economy) -USSR’s nationalistic policies had the basic goal of re-expanding borders to increase the empire to the size of what Russia once was, as well as proving its power to other nations

Social/ Economic Policies-Stalin’s Five-Year Plan to build a socialist economy was introduced in 1928: included internationalist policies, as well as a more domestic plan to zone in on socialism within Russia *State took control of all existing enterprises in Russia

*Major program of industrialization
*Forced collectivization of farms-Great


the Netherlands. The Axis Powers consisted of the following: Germany, Japan,and Italy.
The Allied Powers during WWII were those that opposed the Axis Powers. At the beginning of war, Britain and the Commonwealth Nations stood almost alone, but the United States, China, and many other nations came and and joined the Allies.The Allies promoted the alliance as seeking to stop German, Italian,and Japanese aggression. It was very clear that Germany, Italy, and Japan were going to be defeated if WorldWarII wanted to come to an end.
The Axis Powers were the nations that fought against the Allied forces during the Second World War.The Axis powers joined forces by their opposition of the Western World and the Soviet Union. The Axis described their goal as “breaking the leadership of the plutocratic-capitalistafter these aggressive actions were met with an official declaration of war and/or armed resistance.
In the aftermath of WorldWar I, a defeated Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles.[6] This caused Germany to lose a significant portion of its territory, prohibited the annexation of other states, limited the size of German armed forces and imposed massive reparations. Russia's civil war led to the creation of the Soviet Union which soon was under the control of Joseph Stalin. In Italy, Benito Mussolini seized power as a fascist dictator promising to create a "New Roman Empire."[7] The Kuomintang (KMT) party in China launched a unification campaign against regional warlords and nominally unified China in the mid-1920s, but was soon embroiled in a civil war against its former Chinese communist allies. In


1931, an increasingly militaristic Japanese Empire, which had long sought influence in China[8] as the first step of its right to rule...

...knew that another WorldWar was coming on. After WorldWar I America decided that they did not want to be involved in another war due to the devastation that it had caused before. However President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided differently. With competing views among the isolationists and the interventionists, FDR concluded that the only way for the Great Depression to end was to become involved in another war. The Great Depression destroyed the economies of the United States and Europe. Economies were struggling worldwide and were running out of options. The outcome of WorldWar I “led to a major repositioning of world power and influence.” This shift inpower towards the United States laid the grounds for the emergence of totalitarian governments in Europe. Since WorldWar I, the struggle for world power became a popular subject among governments. WorldWarII exemplifies the power struggle among Germany, Italy, and Japan and also gave American political leaders such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman the chance to prove their true leadership abilities domestically and internationally.
At the beginning of WorldWarII, America introduced legislation called the Neutrality Acts. From 1935 to 1939, the United States...

...The world’s greatest war, WorldWarII began in 1939 and lasted for almost six years. It was between two military alliances. On the axis powers were Japan, Germany and the Kingdom of Italy. While the allies were lead by United Kingdom, China, Soviet Union and The United


States of America. America was not directly involved in the war in the early stages. The necessity increased after the fall of France, the Pearl Harbor incident but mainly when Hitler declared war on U.S. This led to America’s direct involvement in the WorldWarII and helped America to transition from a great power to a super power.
WorldwarII started by the deep seated anger in German due to the loss in WorldWar I. Hitler a new leader in Germany transformed it from a defeated state to powerful one with a large army of up to 400,000 men which led to the breaking of the treaty of Versailles (Langley). March 16th 1935 Hitler tore up the treaty of Versailles when he started to build up his army (Nicola Barber) .AlthoughThe United States of America had always been an ally in the Second WorldWar its direct involvement did not came after much later. In 1939 its only involvement was to provide arms and ammunition in turn of cash from countries. America was indirectly helping the allies...

Origin of WorldWarII in the Asian-Pacific Region
Why did Japan ultimately decide to start WorldWarII by invading China in 1937 and then worsen the conflict by attacking the British and Americans in 1941? Were these attacks the effects of a Japanese state with an extreme belief of nationalism, or of a particularly coercive social order, or of economic and social inequalities, or had Japan by the late 1930s entered a stage of late capitalist development that naturally evolved into fascism? Was there a direct

This piece is a few years old, but has aged very well. Highly-recommended reading.

FYI, Albert Pike was a 33 degree Freemason and was one of the founding fathers and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. He wrote “Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry”, which is widely held as the Freemason bible and is given to all new Masons.

LibertyThink.com

Lets go back a few years to 1871 and read a letter written to a man in Italy, named Mazzini, from a general in the Confederate Army from Little Rock, Arkansas named, Albert Pike. On August 15, 1871 (Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) Albert Pike wrote:

“We shall unleash the Nihilists and the AtheistsKings and Monarchies of Europe and South America. Their first attempt was the French Revolution ordered by Adam Weishaupt in 1774. Robespierre worked for Weishaupt. This failure made them look to a more long turn plan. They needed a world wide organization with members in governments, newsmedia, and schools. This re-organizational work took almost a hundred years. In the mid 1800s they hired Albert Pike to work out a plan for three world wars, which they believed would end the Monarchies, the governments, and all Christian Religions. The first war was to end the Monarchies, the second war was to end the power of Europe, and the third war was to end all Christian religions, especially the Catholic Church.

Albert Pike organized and founded “The New and Reformed Palladian


Rite” with three councils in Charleston, SC, Rome, and Berlin, Germany. He had 23 subordinate councils throughout the world. These councils found a way to get information around the world in a few days using pigeons with messages tied to their legs flying from one council to another. Because of being exposed by the Baverian Government, the Illuminati had to change its name. In America it became known as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). In England it is called the British Institute of International Affairs. They also had the Knights Templars in St. John Hall In New York and the Fabian Society of England founded by Israel Colten, Zangwill, and Shaw. These three men supported a man named Mordecai, who later changed his name to Karl Marx.Although against communism and atheism, it worked into their plans to divide and conquer.

Now to go back a little, we must understand that Rockefeller, Garriman and Carnegie were all financed by Rothschild, who also financed Pike, Karl Marx, Lenin and Trotsky. They in turn were able to get Woodrow Wilson into the White House. It was Wilson who tried to get us into the League of Nations after getting us involved in World War I. The sinking of the Lusitania was arranged by the Illuminati and Wilson knew it. They had used the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand Habsburg as an excuse to start World War I and may have had a hand in it. However, the real purpose of World War I was to destroy Czar of


Russia and the other kings of Europe because they stopped the Congress of Vienna. This was successful as 32 Monarchies fell by 1922, the last being the death of Charles von Habsburg on April 1, 1922.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

It was during this time period that a meeting took place at the Jekyl Island Hunt Club. This club was owned by J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Colonal House, Senator Nelson Aldridge, Schiff, Stillman and Vanderlip, W&L Seligman, Eugine Meyer, Bernard Baruch, Herbert Lehman, and Paul Warburg. At Jekyl Island Hunt Club, these men designed the Federal Reserve System and had it made into the law of the land. They owned and controlled the FRS and still do. Most people do not know that the Federal Reserve System is notFederal. It is privately owned by these bankers.

It was also during this period of time that the Illuminati changed their name in America to the Council on Foreign Relations – CFR . This was set up by Colonel House and Bernard Baruch. Colonel House was the power behind Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Both presidents took orders from “the Colonel”, who was never a colonel.

On Dec 23, 1913, when most of the members of Congress were gone home for Christmas, they passed the Federal Reserve System, run by Paul Warburg and Jacob Schiff (both from Europe). The FRS is owned by the member banks of the list of people on Jekyl Island. Next Woodrow Wilson signed the infamous Federal Income Tax law (which is against the constitution).


In order to avoid the same income tax, the members of the CFR formed FOUNDATIONS: the Rockefeller Foundation – the Carnegie Endowment Fund – the Ford Foundation – the Melon Foundation – and hundreds of other tax-free foundations. The CFR then started the FOREIGN AID PROGRAM to build up countries with American tax dollars where they had made investments or where exchanging on the money market.

RUSSIAN COMMUNISM

Lenin had replaced Mazzini and was working for Albert Pike. He was headquartered in Paris and later in Switzerland. Trotsky also worked for Pike and was in the lower East side of New York. Neither Lenin or Trotsky had any visible means of support, and yet, they always had lots of money. Trotsky moved in and out of Jacob Schiff’s mansion andtrained Russian Jewish refugees in the streets of New York. Schiff was financing Trotsky. Trotsky and 300 Russian Jewish refugees left New York for Switzerland in 1917 with $20,000,000 from Schiff

There was a party planed in Switzerland in 1917 when Trotsky and his 300 men would arrive. At the party were Lenin, Colonel Edward Mandell House, Warburg of the German Bank and Chief of the Secret Police of Germany, Rothschilds of London and Paris, Litvinoff, Kaganovich, and Stalin

The Schiff chartered ship taking Trotsky, the 300 men, and the two hundred million dollars was intercepted by a British warship. Woodrow Wilson convinced the British into releasing the ship in exchange for getting America into the war on the side of the British. After the party in Switzerland, Warburg helped


Lenin, Trotsky and the 300 men move through Germany into Russia. This story of the money and the 300 men from New York was confirmed by Schiff’s grandson to Charlie Knicherbocker, a columnist for the Hearst Papers. Albert Pike was only using communism to destroy governments and weaken religion. He, himself, was not a communist, nor was Lenin and Trotsky. Communism was just a tool.

THE NEWSMEDIA

How were they able to do this without the world learning what was going on? They didn’t they just out shouted those who saw what was going on. They out shouted the lies because they had already taken over the newsmedia. Henry Luce had been financed by Rockefeller to set up a takeover of Life, Fortune, Look, etc. Rockefeller was also taking ordersfrom higher up and was given the job of the newsmedia. He did such a good job, he was even given a greater job later – takeover of the religions. Anyway, Rockefeller financed Eugine Meyer to fight against good papers and financed Sam Newhouse to set up a chain of new papers with the CFR agenda. The columnists they controlled were Walter Lippman, Drew Pearson, The Alsops, Herbert Matthews, Irwin Kanam, Ed Morrow, Chet Huntley, Howard K. Smith, Eric Sevareid and many more.

UNITED NATIONS

Remembering that their goal is one world government, we must go back to their attempt to create the League of Nations with the help of Woodrow Wilson. When that failed, they did not have control over Harding, Collidge and Hoover. They moved them out by


creating the great depression. This was manufactured by the Federal Reserve System, controlled by the banks that created it. They lost nothing as they moved their money from one country to another creating greater wealth at the lose of millions from small people and small companies all over the world.

Alger Hiss, Pasvulksy and Dalton Trumbuill designed the United Nations Charter. They all worked for the CFR. Alger Hiss became the first Secretary General. He later was convicted of being a communist spy for Russia. Earl Warren was placed at the head of the Supreme Court so that he could made decisions based on the United States Charter, moving us closer and closer to world government. Rockefeller donated the land for the United Nations Building. Hiss and Molotov metto see to it that a Russian was always the head of the military secretariat of the UN. Think about it, Russian General Vasiliev, head of the UN military Secretariat ended up commanding the North Koreans against the UN forces that he had headed. Truman fired General MacArthur because he would not tell the UN what he was going to do in advance. The plan of the United Nations is the plan of the Illuminati, now known as the “Council on Foreign Relations”.

That plan is “one world government, one world laws, one world court, one world Army, one world Air Force, one world schools, and one world church (no Christians).”

ONE WORLD RELIGION

The job of creating ONE WORLD RELIGION was given to John D. Rockefeller. His orders were to


first turn all religions into one world religion. Later this one world religion would reach the ultimate goal of Satanic Worship. For now, one pluralistic religion, where everything, and every belief is OK would suffice. To do this Rockefeller needed to control the pastors. He started by picking and financing Doctor Harry F. Ward, known as Reverend Ward. Reverend Ward founded the Methodist Foundation of Social Service at the instructions of Rockefeller. This Methodist Foundation of Social Service changed it’s name to The Federal Council of Churches and then to The National Council of Churches. Ward was the founder of the American League Against War and Fascism which became the American Communist Party. Ward was a communist.

A quick look backwards at their plan to take over America willRhodes scholarship when at England, and also made it into Russia for a “visit” at a time when getting into Russia was almost impossible. Why did he get this scholarship? How did he get a pass into Russia? Besides the Rhodes scholarship, the Illuminati set up special schools like Gordonstown in Scotland, Salem in Germany, Anavryta in Greece, and then special clubs within most other major colleges throughout the world. It was in these clubs that they discovered who they could control with the promise of fame and fortune.

PRESIDENT CLINTON

Now take a look at President Clinton. Over 90 people have died to keep him in office. He survived Whitewater. He survived the death of Ron Brown. He survived the FBI files. He survived the China technology conspiracy. He

About the Award

In 1996, the Broyles Award was established to recognize some of the most dedicated, hardest working people in America...the college football assistant coach. And, over the years, the award has done just that. Each year the five Broyles Award finalists are chosen from almost 1,500 assistant coaches representing over 120 Division One college football programs. Each head coach can nominate one assistant coach from his staff. All nominations are reviewed by, and the five finalists chosen by, an enthusiastic selection committee comprised of 11 of college football's finest former head coaches.

In the prestigious history of college football, there are few coaches whose efforts have forever impacted the game. Bear Bryant, Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy and Eddie
