Greg's right--Cheney's making a key retreat off his claims. That's because we know the CIA got a ton of intelligence from some of the detainees, particularly KSM. But I've shown repeatedly, with my half-completed review of the KSM intelligence used in the 9/11 Report, that the bulk of this information came long after KSM was waterboarded in March 2003. The first big chunks of intelligence came from him in July 2003, and there were big chunks in the months that followed. This is important because the CIA started using rapport as well as abuse. Though we don't know when they did so, it is likely that much of the intelligence they got from KSM came at least partly because of this rapport based interrogation.
So I'm not surprised that the program--including rapport--got intelligence. I'm just curious why Cheney is backtracking on his big claims now.

Trader Gregory Rowe works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. / Richard Drew, AP
NEW YORK â?? Stocks started February with a bang Friday as the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 14,000 for the first time in more than five years. The government's January employment report, which said 157,000 jobs were added last month, boosted all major indexes 1% or more.
Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange cheered as the Dow finished Friday up 149.21 points, 1.1%, to 14,009.79 and is less than 150 points from its all-time closing high of 14,164.53 set Oct. 9, 2007, before the financial meltdown and a recession pulled it sharply lower.

It was an out of the way place just off the interstate outside Phoenix on a seldom used highway.

NHL: Sidney Crosby leads Penguins past Devils
PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz each had a goal and two assists, and the Pittsburgh Penguins picked up their first home victory of the season by beating the New Jersey Devils 5-1 Saturday.
Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo scored his first NHL goal, Brandon Sutter got his first with Pittsburgh and Kris Letang also found the back of the net for the Penguins, who handed the Devils their first loss in regulation this season.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 14 shots for the win. Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis had two assists apiece.
Andy Greene scored a short-handed goal for the Devils. Martin Brodeur was sharp through two periods, stopping 17 of 19 shots, but allowed three goals in the third as the Penguins turned a one-goal game into a rout.
The Penguins had been the only NHL team yet to earn a point at home. They were | outscored 9-3 in losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders.

Hugh Jackman Dances Gangnam Style With Psy On Wolverine Set
In the wake of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," the infectious and flirty hit song that inspired countless viral videos, it was an unlikely pop song out of Korea called "Gangnam Style" that overtook American pop culture, not only with its largely incomprehensible yet catchy tune but also its easy and fun signature dance. Psy, the South Korean rapper behind this offbeat single, has since been making the rounds with appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show and Saturday Night Live.

Less than seven weeks into his second term, President Barack Obama seems mired in the same uncertainty over how to deal with recalcitrant and at times obstructionist Republicans that dominated his volatile first term.
While the president and his team insist he is the reasonable one in the endless debate over taxes and spending, the failure last week to deliver a deal with Congress to avert forced spending cuts has harmed Obama's poll numbers and raised questions about his strategy.
Critics cite a hyper-partisan blame campaign by Obama that stretched and at times obliterated the truth about the forced spending cuts, as well as the eventual political showdown with congressional Republicans last Friday that yielded nothing but public confusion and disen | chantment.
Now the president appears to be calibrating his campaign-style efforts to generate public outrage against Republicans by reaching out to GOP legislators, starting with dinner Wednesday night with 12 GOP senators, including some harsh critics.
Obama also invited House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, to lunch Thursday, a White House official said.
Next week, the president will go across town to the U.S. Capitol for separate meetings he requested with Republicans in the House and Senate.

Postwar Suburbia from the Air
On Places, D.J. Waldie assesses iconic aerial photographs of Lakewood, California, one of the nation's first postwar planned communities.
Published: Feb 4, 2013
"In early 1950, William A. Garnett began flying over six square miles of former lima bean fields 23 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles," writes Waldie, who is the author of the classic memoir Holy Land, about growing up in Lakewood. When the 17,500-house tract development was completed in 1954, it changed the map of Southern California forever.
Waldie explores the complex relationship between the | aerial view and the postwar suburban boom, a relationship at once materialistic and transcendent. "Although the photographs were factually out-of-date as soon as the prints were dry," he says, "the anxieties they evoked became perfectly timeless."

It’s time for a lesson about what is and isn’t bluegrass.
I know the common perception is that there is too much bluegrass in Durango, but I don’t have time to argue that.

If there are drums along with that banjo and a fiddle, | it may have bluegrass leanings, but Bill Monroe and his modern-day purist followers wouldn’t call it bluegrass.
For example: The Pogues have a banjo player, but no one would ever confuse them with a bluegrass band. Likewise for Mumford and Sons. Both bands have drums, which don’t belong in bluegrass. If there are drums in a bluegrass instrument-oriented band, that is usually the formula for a jam band. And jam bands would flunk horribly the Bill Monroe test.

NanoViricides has taken efforts to enable current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) capability for manufacturing its drug candidates, which will be needed during the filing of an application for investigational new drug to the FDA.

Recently Mama's crying all the time
is it because of me or my younger sister,
even Dad was weeping when he kissed her.
Face all puffy like a blister,
crying like he missed her.
Since we moved away from the house,
where we used to play.
They say I'll understand on day but I doubt it,
Mama never say nothing about it.
How'd it get to be so crowded.
I found it a strain, everywhere I look I see pain.
And I can't escape the feeling,
maybe I'm to blame. So I strain to listen,
Praying for a decision, wishing they where kissing.
This feels like extradition or exile,
Mama finds it hard to smile
So I make pretend cups of coffee in her favorite style.
| She says child I'm working so there's nothing you lack.
But she know I want my Dad I want my family back.
I'm on Lonely Street, age forty three.
Couldn't gauge when to quit so my wife quit me.
Took offense, took the kids,
I wish that was the end.
But before she took her leave

Another try for immigrant bill
December 3, 2012
California’s Democratically-controlled Legislature welcomes its new members today, and some lawmakers have already sprung into action. (Sacramento Bee)
Assemblymen Tom Ammiano and Luis Alejo, along with Sen. Kevin De León, all Democrats, are reintroducing the “Trust Act,” aiming to stop deportation of undocumented immigrants arrested for non-violent and minor offenses.
Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a similar measure in September, but the bill’s sponsors said they now have corrected problems, and also the votes to override a gubernatorial veto.
Ammiano said in a statement that he “wanted to reintroduce this immediately because these policies have been hurting people every day.”
In his veto message, Brown said, “Until we have immigration reform, federal agents shouldn’t try to coerce local law enforcement officers into detaining | people who’ve been picked up for minor offenses and pose no reasonable threat to their community.” But he said the original bill was “flawed” because it didn’t define “serious” or “violent” adequately.

Such Great Heights Marketing LLC, a marketing company serving Detroit and Southeast, Michigan, released a free guide for small businesses striving to maximize their effectiveness on Twitter. The PDF guide, How to Master Twitter for Your Business, is available on the companys website.
The three-part Twitter guide covers what to tweet about to provide value and encourage interaction, how to successfully grow a quality following, and advanced tips and tricks to help companies take flight. Not only does the document outline best practices, it cites actual examples to show business owners how its done.
After encountering dozens of businesses in the Detroit area not using Twitter to its full potential, the idea to provide a free downloadable guide was born.
A lot of businesses grasp how to use Facebook, but we see so many that struggle with Twitter, said Brett Heitz, President of Such Great Heights Marketing. The ideas outlined in our guide are specifically for the needs of local businesses. What works for a Fortune 500 company doesnt necessarily work for the mom-and-pop shop down the street.

As we get closer to the release of Beautiful Monster (September 1st, 2012!), I begin thinking more and more about the sequel. Mimi A. Williams (Kim Williams-Justesen~ my mentor and co-author), and I decided shortly after the manuscript was accepted for publication, that we’d like to make this a three-part story. Whether or not this will be of any interest to the publisher or not, we don’t yet know, but if the only reason we do it is for ourselves, that’s reason enough for us.
We’ve outlined the second novel, which we are planning to call Beautiful Liar, and I have written the first scene of my first chapter. As I get going again, there’s only one thing I’m not looking forward to: seeing the world through the eyes of my deranged main character, Sterling Bronson.

When the Diagnosis is Serious
What do you tell your kids when you get really sick?
May 1, 2000 (Berkeley, Calif.) -- When physician Wendy Schlessel Harpham went to the hospital with severe back and leg pain in the fall of 1990, she faced a devastating diagnosis: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system.
A few hours later when Harpham's husband Ted returned home from the hospital, he, too, faced a difficult situation: what to tell the couple's three young children, who were then 6, 4, and not yet 2 years old, about their mother's illness, sudden hospitalization, and absence.
When parents fall ill -- if only with a bad cold, the flu, or a strained back -- caring for young children becomes challenging. A serious illness, | however, presents not only the practical dilemma of how to keep the day-to-day logistics going, but a host of psychological challenges, as well. What should you tell the children? When do you tell them, and how much?
The Harphams told their children the truth right from the beginning. In the book she subsequently wrote, When a Parent Has Cancer: A Guide to Caring for Your Children (HarperCollins, 1997), Harpham emphasizes that telling the truth is necessary "to | [

Trusts are effective financial planning tools based on a structure that is simpler than it may seem. The creator of the trust contributes something of value into the trust and creates instructions as to how it will be managed and eventually disbursed. The trustee is responsible for keeping the property safe and managing and distributing it according to the instructions. The beneficiary is the person or entity that eventually will get the property in the trust.
Trusts may be useful in estate planning, asset protection, and providing for elderly parents or other family members who may be unable to manage their own affairs.
Establishing a trust isn’t especially difficult, but it’s not a do-it-yourself project. It’s important to work with an attorney to be sure the trust complies with legal requirements and will actually carry out its intended purpose.
What may be the hardest part of setting up a trust is choosing the trustee. Here are a few suggestions that may help. Some of them come from information provided by the Financial Planning Association.
1. Be sure you as the creator of the trust understand the trustee’s role. Ideally, trustees will have some expertise in legal matters, taxes, and investments. The specific knowledge needed will vary, depending on the scope and purpose of the trust. It’s | important to discuss that purpose in detail with any potential trustees to be sure they have the necessary skills and are comfortable taking on the responsibilities.

that’s a relevant question but i’m wondering about the limp not. did it just start or did she just now notice it?
Maybe the ankle didn’t get 100% better? Her exposure to Animal’s blood was cut short by the black hats departing, perhaps Animal’s healing factor only works while the blood is alive (uncoagulated), as it was while being medically collected.
The ankle is fine in a sense, but the problem is the broken nerve connections from her leg. Repairing the broken nerve signals between the brain and the leg takes time because nerve realignment cannot be immediately cured even with a cure all.
Certain nerves and tissue don’t repair themselves the same way.

Explosion kills at least 5 in central Nigeria
JOS, Dec 25 — An explosion killed at least five people and wounded dozens more in a village near the central Nigerian city of Jos yesterday, police said.
Abdulrahman Akano, Plateau state police commissioner, said five people were dead, while more were in a critical condition, after a bomb exploded in Gada Biu village yesterday evening.
The state information office said 20 people were killed in the explosions but police could not confirm this.

Dinosaurs dying at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Volcanism is thought to be one of the main causes of the dinosaurs dying out.

K-T Extinction (Why Did the Dinosaurs Go Extinct?)
Why did the dinosaurs go extinct? No one knows for sure, but there
are some explanations that seem to make sense.
At the time the dinosaurs and lots of other species died out (which is sometimes called the K-T
extinction), there were lots of active volcanos on Earth. There were also some large asteroids or comets that struck the Earth around
then. Together, volcanos and asteroid impacts may have thrown dust
| into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and making it very hard for the
dinosaurs to survive.
Other things might have helped cause the dinosaurs’
extinction. We know that the atmosphere and the oceans both went
through large changes at the end of the Cretaceous Period, and the
Earth's climate probably
changed a lot, too.
Scientists around the world are still doing
research in order to test different theories
and try to learn what made the dinosaurs go extinct.

WASHINGTON — As he assembles his economic team, Barack Obama faces a central strategic decision that only he can make. Starting with his "economic stimulus" plan, will he focus mainly on reviving the economy and relieving the financial crisis? Or will he use the economic crisis as a vehicle to advance a more ambitious social and economic agenda? The two approaches are at odds. The first aims at building political consensus and economic confidence; the second would intensify political conflict and economic uncertainty.
The decision ought to be easy. Every new president is assaulted by his own supporters, who want him to put their particular agendas atop his "to do" list. That's already happening, as Obama allies clamor for speedy action to provide universal health insurance, combat global warming and support trade unions. But Obama — and the nation — would be better served if he concentrated for his first | year on stabilizing the economy while patiently laying the groundwork for more far-reaching proposals.
The hallmark of this economic crisis has been its capacity to surprise: the desperate plight of the Big Three U.S. automakers is the latest reminder. We can expect more surprises, because the U.S. and global economies continue to weaken at a worrying pace. Consumer | [

Almost three decades of constitutional amendments, legislative acts and economic ups and downs
To understand how Colorado finds itself in its current fiscal condition, it is helpful to look back at some critical decisions made by legislators and voters over the last 29 years, and at some of the economic and political factors that drove those decisions.
Anti-tax advocates yesterday hailed the end of Referendum C, calling the timeout from TABOR rebates a "cowardly" move backed by voters five years ago and pushed by "spending bullies."
Fiscal conservatives gathered at the Capitol yesterday where they celebrated the end of Ref C, a 2005 voter-approved initiative that suspended a tax limit set by the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights for five years to fund health care, public education and transportation projects. The timeout ended June 30th.
Stalwart supporters of the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights gathered at the Capitol on Tuesday to cheer the expiration of Referendum C, the measure voters approved in 2005 that imposed a five-year timeout from taxpayer refunds under TABOR.
The merriment was led by Jon Caldara, | president of the Independence Institute, which favors government spending limitations like TABOR. Other groups represented Tuesday included the Colorado Union of Taxpayers, Mothers Against Debt, Americans for Prosperity and the National Taxpayers Union.

Lowe's Ignites Controversy By Pulling Ads From 'All-American Muslim'
By deciding to stop advertising during the TLC network's All-American Muslim reality TV show after hearing that some conservatives object to the program, Lowe's Home Improvement is now hearing complaints from others who accuse it of religious bigotry.
California State Sen. Ted Lieu (D), The Associated Press says, may call for a boycott of the home improvement chain.
On its Facebook page, the company explains its action this way:
"It appears that we managed to step into a hotly contested debate with strong views from virtually every angle and perspective — social, political and otherwise — and we've managed to make some people very unhappy. We are sincerely sorry. We have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, across our workforce and our customers, and we're proud of that longstanding commitment.
"Lowe's has received a significant amount of communication on this program, from every perspective possible. Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lighting rod for many of those views. As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such | issues of importance.

Company Spotlight: Niche Snowboards – Redefining eco-responsibility
Niche crew members Dustin Morrell, Ana Van Pelt and Marty Siller
There are plenty of board companies that boast their contribution to the industry and environment, as well as their familial persona. The list of who can actually back up their touts is lowered to a handful. But maybe just one can say they were founded with these ideals in mind. That one could be Niche Snowboards.
Niche isn’t changing the industry by using huge budgets to promote mind-blowing events, filming | IMAX quality videos or sending riders to the Olympics. This Salt Lake City company is changing the industry by seeing issues that aren’t being handled and handling them — head on.
Founded and owned by Dustin Morrell, Niche began as more of an experimental project. By shaping and pressing his own boards, Morrell began to understand the downside of eco-ignorance. “I learned a lot about construction and shaping, and really liked putting boards together, but found the process to | [

Today we take a look at the famous time travel issue of Deadpool!
Deadpool #11, by Joe Kelly and Pete Woods, is a noteworthy issue in that it involves Deadpool (and his compatriot, the old blind woman named Blind Al) time-traveling to the past.
Not just the past, though, they travel to an old issue of Amazing Spider-Man by Stan Lee and John Romita, Sr.!!
Once in the past, Blind Al pretends to be Aunt May while Deadpool uses | a hologram projector to make him appear as Peter Parker.
They then interact with characters from Amazing #47, including the villain of that issue, Kraven the Hunter.

Yesterday I watched a segment on the news about what has happened in the first decade of the 2000′s. As I watched all the news stories from the past 10 years I was amazed to think of all the time that has slipped by. In 200o we were all worried about Y2K. Were the computers going to crash and send us into cyber darkness? Um….no that obviously never happened.
From the twin towers being hit, to school shootings, presidential elections, wars, and an economy in a nosedive……wow. I think all this has a bigger impact when it is all shown in a 10 minute segment. Almost overwhelming.
Something that struck me while watching this is that my late husband, Kennis, saw only the very first few months of that decade. He died, at 34, in the Fall of 2000. When a person loses someone significant in their life he/she begins to have a “before and after” mentality. For me it was B.K and A.K (Before Kennis died….and after) I think that | it’s impossible not to think like that…. I found myself pondering yesterday, while watching the events unfold before me once again….that Kennis never knew 9/11. He never suffered the visual horror of planes crashing into the twin towers, never heard about the VA. Tech massacre, didn’t get to vote in anymore elections, or see his young son grow up– among the many other things. I often wonder what he’d think if he had lived to see this day in time.

This is one of two tree stands we saw at the muddy flea market. Ten bucks! Plus the extra buck I spent for a screwdriver to dismantle it so it would fit in our checked bag. But the checked bag was overweight and they were going to charge us A HUNDRED DOLLARS EXTRA, so we had to take some stuff out and put it in our carry-on bags. Go figure. All of the weight ended up on the plane anyway, so what was accomplished?
So I took out the heaviest thing - this metal tree stand, wrapped in a towel, and put it in my shoulder bag. Which had to go through the X-ray screener, which caused the airport cop to pull me aside and say "What's in the bag?" I started to unwrap it, but as soon as he saw the painted elf he said "Oh, OK," and that was that. I never even finished unwrapping it. So here's a tip: If you want | to smuggle a metal hatchet blade onto an airplane, just paint it like an elf and you'll float right in.

Hundreds Die at Christmas Sale:
Consumers, shoplifters, sales clerks, children and pederasts were caught in a swarm of frenzied marketers rushing to a sale at the Mall in Disneyland. The scene of trampled bodies, bloody children and wailing parents brought a very bad day to the bottom line.
The Mall promised a new sale to begin as soon as the debris was cleaned up. “We’ll have carolers and clowns and hopefully everyone will forget this tragedy and just think about spreading joy and buying stuff”, said a Mall spokesperson wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.

|Architectures and Idioms: Making Progress in Agent Design|
|Affiliation||MIT AI Lab|
paper addresses the problem of producing and maintaining progress in the
discipline of agent design. The proliferation of architectures and methodologies
is valuable for the ideas and experience brought to the field. Unfortunately,
these ideas can be difficult to harness because, on real projects, switching
between architectures and languages carries high cost. In this paper we
propose that this cost can be reduced if the research community takes the
responsibility to reexpress their innovations as idioms or extensions of
one or more of the current de facto standards. We describe as an
| example the concept of a Basic Reactive Plan, an idiom that recurs in many
influential agent architectures, yet in others is difficult to express.

Red Bull Stratos: Felix Baumgartner skydives from the edge of space
Baumgartner, the Austrian daredevil, yesterday (14 October) became the first skydiver to reach the speed of sound, when he jumped out of a balloon 24 miles above New Mexico, reaching a top speed of 833.9 miles per hour.
The stunt was sponsored by Red Bull and attracted eight million concurrent views on YouTube, the highest-ever concurrent viewing figures on the Google-owned site's history.
Red Bull described the stunt as the biggest piece of activity it has undertaken this year. It has been heavily promoting the event through its own sites as well as social media channels and PR activity.
According to a Twitter spokeswoman, there has been approximately 3.1m tweets sent, relating to the event.
Baumgartner said: "It was an incredible up and | down today, just like it's been with the whole project. First we got off with a beautiful launch and then we had a bit of drama with a power supply issue to my visor.
"It was really brutal at times. I thought for a few seconds that I'd lost consciousness. I didn't feel a sonic boom because I was so busy just trying to stabilize myself... It was really a lot harder than I though it was going to be."Follow @shearmans

Jill and I went over to a well known and huge fabric store in NC, known for their bridal fabric. They had lots of rolls of lace but not enough of any one kind and not getting anymore in. A very helpful salesperson told us of a store in Asheville that carried bridal fabric. We had just come from Asheville, so back home we went to find - House of Fabrics. It's a small store with beautiful fabric. The bridal section was very small but again, everything luscious! A tiny case held their imported lace and I thought no way will they have what we want. Lucille - the owner, pulled out lace | , held it up and it was perfect. Our excitement was overwhelming. Alencon lace runs 72" wide with borders down each side. The other fabric in the picture is a heavy silk charmeuse which will probably be the underskirt.
It's a heavily corded lace but still very soft to use as a "whole cloth". Lucille gave us a small piece to bring home - to love, and love it we do.
