Obama's Military Is Spying on U.S. Activists

July 29. 2009
Anti-war activists in Olympia, Wash., have exposed Army spying and infiltration of their groups, as well as intelligence gathering by the Air Force, the federal Capitol Police and the Coast Guard.
The infiltration appears to be in direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act preventing U.S. military deployment for domestic law enforcement and may strengthen congressional demands for a full-scale investigation of U.S. intelligence activities, like the Church Committee hearings of the 1970s.
Brendan Maslauskas Dunn asked the city of Olympia for documents or e-mails about communications between the Olympia police and the military relating to anarchists, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) or the Industrial Workers of the World (Dunn's union). Dunn received hundreds of documents. One e-mail contained reference to a "John J. Towery II," who activists discovered was the same person as their fellow activist "John Jacob."
Dunn told me: "John Jacob was actually a close friend of mine, so this week has been pretty difficult for me. He said he was an anarchist. He was really interested in SDS. He got involved with Port Militarization Resistance (PMR), with Iraq Vets Against the War. He was a kind person. He was a generous person. So it was really just a shock for me."
"Jacob" told the activists he was a civilian employed at Fort Lewis Army Base and would share information about base activities that could help the PMR organize rallies and protests against public ports being used for troop and Stryker military vehicle deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan. Since 2006, PMR activists have occasionally engaged in civil disobedience, blocking access to the port.
Larry Hildes, an attorney representing Washington activists, says the U.S. attorney prosecuting the cases against them, Brian Kipnis, specifically instructed the Army not to hand over any information about its intelligence-gathering activities, despite a court order to do so.
Which is why Dunn's request to Olympia and the documents he obtained are so important.
The military is supposed to be barred from deploying on U.S. soil, or from spying on citizens. Christopher Pyle, now a professor of politics at Mount Holyoke College, was a military intelligence officer. He recalled: "In the 1960s, Army intelligence had 1,500 plainclothes agents [and some would watch] every demonstration of 20 people or more. They had a giant warehouse in Baltimore full of information on the law-abiding activities of American citizens, mainly protest politics." Pyle later investigated the spying for two congressional committees: "As a result of those investigations, the entire U.S. Army Intelligence Command was abolished, and all of its files were burned. Then the Senate Intelligence Committee wrote the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to stop the warrantless surveillance of electronic communications."
Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., Rush Holt, D-N.J., and others are pushing for a new, comprehensive investigation of all U.S. intelligence activities, of the scale of the Church Committee hearings, which exposed widespread spying on and disruption of legal domestic groups, attempts at assassination of foreign heads of state, and more.
Demands mount for information on and accountability for Vice President Dick Cheney's alleged secret assassination squad, President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program, and the CIA's alleged misleading of Congress. But the spying in Olympia occurred well into the Obama administration (and may continue today). President Barack Obama supports retroactive immunity for telecom companies involved in the wiretapping, and has maintained Bush-era reliance on the state secrets privilege. Lee and Holt should take the information uncovered by Brendan Dunn and the Olympia activists and get the investigations started now.

No World System
At 1:15 of this news piece you can see provocateurs (fake protesters) enter a peaceful march; spray-painting cameras, knocking newspaper stands down, breaking windows, jumping on squad cars. These actions only validate the police state's presence, and endangers the genuine peaceful protesters trying to express their concerns about the current state of the republic.
Look closely at the video frame 1:58, you can clearly see a provocateur with a black helmet knock down a police officer (what kind of peaceful protester brings a helmet to a peaceful protest?), the officer then reacts swiftly with pepperspray. At around 2:13 of this video, the "protesters" jump over a nearby wall and "seemingly disappear". Well i guess their work is done, they have made the legitimate protesters look like violent demons.

Similar but not as violent examples can be seen at the recent DNC protest in Denver, the federally-funded Re-Create 68 yippies flip-off FOX News, provocateurs using physical confrontation with journalists, legitimate protesters successfully expose DNC police provocateurs dressed-up as anarchists.

Media reports attempt to link individuals who screamed "Kill Michelle Malkin" to talk show host Alex Jones
The spectacle of two individuals caught on camera calling for violence and then affiliating themselves with peaceful demonstrators in Denver has raised questions about who is behind apparent "agent provocateurs," intent on demonizing legitimate protest groups at the Democratic National Convention.
Several news outlets reported that nationally syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones had "threatened" neo-conservative pundit Michelle Malkin during a confrontation between the two yesterday.
The same websites then claimed that people affiliated with Jones had screamed "Kill Michelle Malkin" and advocated violence against the columnist.
"Jones and his lackeys chased Michelle around the protest threatening to kill her!" claims the Gateway Pundit blog.
Other news sources, including People's Press Collective and Political Byline, re-iterated the false charge and alleged that Jones had threatened Malkin.
In reality, the You Tube video of the incident shows two young men in court jester outfits approach Jones, claim they are fans of his and then put their arms around him for a photo opportunity. They then go off camera and advocate the murder of Malkin, continuing their threats despite the best efforts of Jones' colleague Luke Rudkowski to make them cease their outburst.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-DoxqvqjxM
Tellingly, the man in green (and Jones' "lackey" according to the reports) also shouts, "Alex Jones is a capitalist stooge."
This incident was clearly a staged set-up to fool the watching media into thinking that people affiliated with Jones were calling for violence, thus demonizing Jones himself and the rest of the peaceful protesters who were confronting Malkin.
It was "frat-boy type" instigators, notes Aaron Dykes, editor of The Jones Report, "wearing court jester hats and making inflammatory statements." Dykes further states that, after chanting for Malkin's death, these instigators asked why Alex had called for violence against Malkin.
Alex Jones nor any of his colleagues have ever called for violence against Michelle Malkin or any other individual. Confrontational protest is one thing, but assault and death threats are something that Alex Jones has vehemently denounced throughout his years of activism.
For clues about who the mysterious "court jesters" really belong to, consider the fact that members of the Re-Create 68 protest group, a self-proclaimed left-wing anarchist organization, voiced their support for right-wing Malkin throughout the confrontation with Jones, with one member, Kenneth Sanchez, at one point yelling "Michelle Malkin is a true patriot!"
According to other protest groups, Re-Create 68 is a COINTELPRO-style project designed to discredit legitimate antiwar groups by instigating violence in Denver during the DNC. According to Alex Jones, members of Re-Create 68 have habitually attempted to taunt police and provoke riots during the first few days of the convention.
Discovering the true identity and affiliation of the two individuals seen in the video calling for violence is key to preventing the wholesale demonization of legitimate protest groups as well as stopping a potential police crackdown which may come as a result of these instigators provoking riots.
Malkin's Photographer Caught On Tape Attempting To Frame Alex Jones
One of Michelle Malkin's stooges is caught on tape lying to police in an attempt to frame Alex Jones, claiming that Alex punched her bodyguard and shouted death threats, when in reality Malkin's bodyguard assaulted Alex and his crew, and the death threats were made by provocateurs completely unaffiliated with Alex Jones.

Media Distorts Malkin Confrontation
Reading Fort Collins Now, formerly Fort Collins Weekly, one has to ask if Julia Cobb got her journalism degree out of a crackerjack box. Reporting on the events outside the DNC yesterday, Cobb describes Alex Jones' confrontation with the neocon Michelle Malkin as follows:
But soon, the attention was diverted from the peaceful protest by an altercation between a member of the conservative media and a citizen attending the protest. This was the second incident of its kind; on Sunday, protesters took exception to a Fox News reporter trying to question Ward Churchill, controversial former professor at the University of Colorado. Today it was radical Alex Jones, from the group 9/11 Truth, which believes that the September 11 terrorist attacks were planned by the U.S. government, verbally confronting Michelle Malkin, a conservative columnist and Fox News contributor.
"You support torture. Shame on you, you fascist piece of trash," Jones yelled. He also accused Malkin of supporting the U.S. Marines when they drown puppies.
Malkin found an ally in Recreate 68's Sanchez, who pushed his way into the crowd of TV cameras to yell at Jones: "Michelle Malkin is a true patriot!"
Sanchez later said he had no idea why Jones was attending the protest and added that Recreate 68 does not support Jones' ideas. He added that although they strongly disagree with her views, Recreate 68 supports Malkin's right to free speech.
Drown puppies? Lance Cpl. David Motari didn't drown a puppy. He threw it over a cliff. This was a big story back in March, but for some reason Ms. Cobb didn't bother to do any research.
She also did not mention the fact that Michelle Malkin insisted the puppy was not real. "The puppy doesn't move. It's clear to me that it's either dead or a stuffed toy. The sound effects of a dog yapping seem to have been dubbed in," Malkin wrote on her blog on March 3. "Disturbing whether the dog is real or fake, dead or alive? Yes. A hanging offense? No. But the clip is a useful cultural Rorschach test. Those who buy into the soldier-as-monster narrative are up in arms — demanding that the soldiers be hunted down and shot."
Malkin then includes a few obscenity laced quotes that accompanied the video on YouTube. "I'm sure Gloria Steinem and the Berkeley City Council would agree," she adds. This is the same Gloria Steinem who enjoyed "a 10-year association with the CIA," according to Nancy Borman and the Village Voice. As a member of the CIA's Mockingbird corporate media — Malkin works for Fox News — it would seem Michelle Malkin has more in common with Ms. Steinem than she would care to admit.
It is bizarre to claim Malkin "found an ally" in Recreate 68's Kenneth Sanchez, who along with co-founder Mark Cohen attempted to "levitate" the U.S. Mint in Denver. Of course, this is not even original, it was ripped off from Abbie Hoffman. Back in 1967, 50,000 hippies attempted to levitate the Pentagon, turn it orange, and drive out the evil spirits responsible for the Vietnam War. Mark Cohen, wearing a red velvet wizard costume, and Recreate 68 managed to attract 50 people to this less than original stunt.
It makes sense Sanchez would declare Malkin a "true patriot," although Recreate 68 allegedly disagrees with her views. According to Truth Alliance, Recreate 68 is a COINTELPRO project designed to discredit legitimate antiwar groups by instigating violence in Denver during the DNC. Malkin did her part, adding to the hype on her blog on March 21 when she wrote that Recreate 68 is part and parcel of "the history of left-wing violence against law enforcement" and admonished the cops to "take the nutballs seriously." In response, nutball Sanchez embraced Malkin and disavowed the "radical" Alex Jones.
"Recreate 68 co-founder Glenn Spagnuolo agreed [with Sanchez] saying [Alex Jones] is "the true agent provocateur, he was so busy hating, he missed all the love." Spagnuolo's "love" is rather peculiar, as the point of Recreate 68 is to initiate a re-run of the 1968 police riot in Chicago. Is it possible Mr. Spagnuolo echoes Yippie Jerry Rubin, who wished for martial law in Chicago? Love has nothing to do with bashing heads.
Federally Funded Re-Create 68 Provocateur, Jerry Rubin
Rat Tube
Rat Says: Within the first nanosecond of seeing this clown (Jerry Rubin) I thought to myself, 'could this be any faker'? This guy is void of sincerity and his clown suit seems forced and uncomfortable on him. What is so telling is the formulaic M.O. that the foundations use that hired him….. they are using the same scripts with ReCreate68.
But it takes two to tango and in this case it is Fox that has chosen (or better yet designated) to bed the fake anarchists. What you see on the 'old media' is all WWF.
"……..The Committee believes, based on this data, that during the much-publicized "7? trial, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, Jerry Rubin, and Abbie Hoffman, should have been more properly sitting at the Government prosecutor's table in the courtroom. Since the Committee does not have much, if any, inside information, we can never know for sure whether we are right. Only a confession or admission by any of the "7? could be more certain—such as the recent confessions of two West Coast agent-provocateur, Louis Tackwood and Eustacio Martinez, that they were posing as "radical revolutionaries".
1. Background and finances of the "Chicago 7?. Unknown to the public, Rennie Davis, Tom Hayden, and the others who became the "7?, and persons connected with them in the National Mobilization to End the War in Viet Nam, were funded by federal money, channeled to them through pass-through organizations connected with the government. $192,000 in federal money and $85,000 from the Carnegie Foundation, acting as a conduit for the Central Intelligence Agency, were funneled to Hayden, Davis, et al., through a front calling itself the Chicago Student Health Organization. To maintain the deep "cover" of this latter group, stories were planted in the press describing the group as being "communist" inspired or directed.
Another $193,313 was funneled to the "7? from the federal Office of Economic Opportunity by way of or through subsidiaries of the Institute for Policy Studies, Washington, D.C., an alleged "liberal" think tank posing as a left wing group, but acting as a conduit for the C.I.A. Other substantial funds came from the Roger Baldwin Foundation which has, nationwide, taken over the structure of the American Civil Liberties Union. The A.C.L.U., such as it was prior to 1967, ; no longer exists. The Roger Baldwin Foundation is funded by several pass-throughs, or conduits, for the C.I.A., among others being:
J.M. Kaplan Fund, Inc. [of New York]; New World Foundation; Aaron E. Norman Fund, Inc.
This is shown by a detailed analysis of I.R.S. form 990-A, filed by these foundations [one of the few public record tax returns]. Several persons acting for the C.I.A. sit on the Board of Overseers of the Roger Baldwin Foundation : Jacob M. Kaplan and John L.Saltonstall, among others…….." bellaciao.org
Dallas Morning News Libels Alex Jones
It's no longer simply the neocon bloggers spreading lies about Alex Jones. Now the Dallas Morning News has engaged in slander. Mark Davis, described as a "radio guy and contributing columnist" to the newspaper's "opinion blog," writes:
Conservative writer and blogger Michelle Malkin was apparently attacked by violent idiots yesterday, egged on by one of the most repugnant human beings attending this convention — and the competition for that title is crowded.
I refer to the cretinous Alex Jones, who hosts what passes for a radio talk show on a few stations unwise enough to carry it. His blend of 9/11 conspiracy bunk and other baseless scaremongering makes him a complete idiot, a designation which gives him plenty of innocent company. But in shouting "Kill Michelle Malkin!" at a protest yesterday, he reveals himself to be not just a dismissible loon, but a despicable soul whom I would identify as a blight on my industry if I actually considered him to be a part of it. (Emphasis added.)
In short, according to the Dallas Morning News, Alex Jones called for Michelle Malkin to be murdered. Infowars, Prison Planet, and no shortage of blogs and websites have spent the last two days revealing this for what it is — a complete lie, in fact a neocon dirty trick.
It really is quite amazing the Dallas Morning News would be so careless. It has committed libel, as there is plenty of irrefutable evidence that Alex Jones did not call for Malkin's murder.
In the opinion of this writer, the Dallas Morning News not only needs to apologize and print a retraction, it needs to fire Mark Davis for violating journalistic ethics.
But then I forgot — the corporate media has no ethics.
Audio: Malkin Entourage Admits Alex Jones Did Not Say "Kill Malkin"
In a clip taken from a Pajamas Media podcast, PJM producer Ed Driscoll gets an admission from videographer Andrew Marcus and blogger Charlie Martin that Alex Jones did not call for the murder of Michelle Malkin during a demo to "levitate" the Denver Mint on August 25. This admission by Malkin's people should put to rest the claims, primarily on neocon blogs and, unfortunately, by Mark Davis at the Dallas Morning News, that Alex Jones threatened Malkin. Marcus and Martin, however, attempt to portray Jones as violent and attempting to incite a "mob," although Malkin was not touched by Alex Jones and he was in no way responsible for the behavior of people in the crowd, including two individuals who acted as agents provocateurs.

During Alex Jones' confrontation with Neo-Con poster child Michelle Malkin at DNC yesterday, the phony right-wing ideologue enjoyed the support of seemingly strange bedfellows, the self-proclaimed liberal anarchist group Re-Create 68, who subsequently attempted to smear Jones in front of the media by implying he was a racist.
Jones called out Malkin for her pro-torture stance and her refusal to retract a story concerning Marines in Iraq killing puppies, which Malkin maintained was a faked video.
Malkin found an ally in Recreate 68's (Kenneth) Sanchez, reports Fort Collins Now, "Who pushed his way into the crowd of TV cameras to yell at Jones: "Michelle Malkin is a true patriot!"
Recreate 68 co-founder Glenn Spagnuolo then said of Jones, "He's the true agent provocateur, he was so busy hating, he missed all the love."
What this aimless, arrogant and ineffective gaggle defined as "the love" was about as indefinable as the rest of the Communist trash they were spewing about redistribution of wealth.
But the group's support for Michelle Malkin, a neo-fascist poster child for the fake right-wing and an advocate of torture and internment camps for dissenters and other undesirables, speaks volumes about the meaningless and transitory nature of their immature and vacuous political outlook.
Accepting of the fact that their whiny effeminate voices, stupid cowardly pseudonyms (one calling himself the Yippie Pie Man), and ridiculous wizard costumes could not compete with the booming ferocity of Jones, members of the group chose to question the talk show host through a bullhorn, calling him a "white populist" for daring to criticize extremist Mexican separatist groups and their"Plan of an Diego," a revolutionary call to arms to re-invade the southwestern United States and kill all blacks and whites.

Cops To Use Top Secret Weapons On Activists

Cops to Use "Top Secret" Weapons on Activists During Conventions
As CNN reports (see video), Congress is forking over $100 million for "security expenses" in Denver and St. Paul this summer. CNN's Ed Lavendera says the types of weapons being purchased are "top secret" and this does not sit well with the ACLU, who is suing both cities to find out how the money is being spent. "In Minnesota where republicans are holding their convention, the ACLU says it's trying to find out how security money is being spent but law enforcement agencies insist these weapons should be kept secret so they have the upper hand in keeping the convention safe," explains Lavendera.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=o_522FkCjCY
In other words, members of both factions of the globalist political party will be safe from agents provocateurs who are routinely dispatched to break a few windows and burn trash in the street in order to give the cops an excuse to attack peaceful demonstrators.
CNN and the corporate media are notorious for ignoring this fact, going back at least to late 1999 during the WTO demonstrations in Seattle. Neil deMause wrote for FAIR in early 2000, "most news outlets ignored the police assaults that preceded the looting, preferring to believe that it was the acts of a few out-of-control protesters that led to the violence, and downplaying police use of force…. numerous eyewitness reports would describe police ignoring vandals while busily assaulting demonstrators who were blockading the entrance to the WTO. The Seattle Times, in its timeline of the WTO protests (12/5/99), noted the first use of pepper spray and rubber bullets on demonstrators at 10 a.m. on November 30, nearly two hours before the first windows were broken." Peter Cassidy, a police tactics researcher, said at the time that the lack of concern over Seattle police behavior "will lend credibility for other police departments to do the same thing." In short, "opening your mouth becomes something that exposes you to danger. It exposes you to militarized forms of law enforcement." As Alex Jones documents in Police State II: The Takeover, Delta Force sponsored and aided so-called "Black Bloc anarchists" in Seattle (see video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0POPVIX6sf0
Militarized "law enforcement" continued during the FTAA demonstrations in Miami in November, 2003. Miami Activists Defense (MAD) reported "thousands of militarized police, in full riot gear, including electrified shields, tanks, automatic and semi-automatic weapons, tear gas, rubber bullets and bean bags, violently arresting peaceful demonstrators," absent any provocation or "direct action" on the part of activists. Kris Hermes, MAD spokesperson, noted that Miami mayor Diaz declared police violence against peaceful demonstrators would be the "model for homeland security," according to Jennifer Van Bergen. In April, 2003, in Oakland, California, cops used wooden dowel projectiles and rubber bullets against peaceful antiwar activists (see photo). Oakland cops told the San Jose Mercury News that although the demonstration was peaceful, there were a "few agitators in the crowd," a claim disputed by witnesses. "I was there from 5 a.m. on, and the only violence that I saw was from the police," Joel Tena, the constituent liaison for Oakland's vice mayor, told the newspaper. "What happened today was very surprising. It seemed the police were operating under the assumption that they were not going to let any kind of protest happen."If sincere "agitators" are not present, the cops are often obliged to produce them, as they did during an anti-globalist demonstration in Montebello, Quebec, last year. "Police officials tried to justify the extraordinary measures deployed at Montebello by claiming they were needed to control 'extremist' demonstrators and prevent them from 'overwhelming' conference security forces," writes François Tremblay. "In fact, video images reveal a long-established police practice, that is, the use of agent provocateurs to provide a pretext for a brutal intervention by riot police against anti-government demonstrators and still further restrictions on the right to protest and other basic democratic rights." In fact, "restrictions on the right to protest and other basic democratic rights" is the point, as the globalists are sincerely worried about citizens resisting the plan to turn the world into a "free trade" labor gulag based on the China model. In Denver and St. Paul this summer, we are likely to see a new level of violence deployed against peaceful demonstrators. In order to provide a sufficient pretext to use "top secret" weapons against activists, "agitators" and "anarchists" will be unleashed. Notes the activist group JustGetThere:
There is a growing trend of peaceful events being infiltrated by agent provocateurs who operate under the umbrella of black-ops. The goal is to create radical groups who seek out violence either during events, or on corporate and federal property. The operatives will be in positions of power or influence, and will only promote violence instead of a peaceful information based strategy for activism. Most recently in Canada, undercover cops dressed like anarchists were caught causing violence and attacking cops at the WTO protest in Montebello. The cops at first stand down against their own agents, then engage the peaceful activists. This modus operandi has been used in the past, and seems to be in motion for this event by the group ReCreate 68. The DNC convention, of course, has a free speech zone and you have to receive a permit through a lottery system. It's striking that this group amongst hundreds won a permit, while publicly espousing violence. This group has been challenged to behave peacefully during this event by the founder of another group "We Are Change Colorado" and their response was "The police only understand violence". This is a red flag and has the earmarks of a operation ran by elements of black-ops to justify the end of our rights of protests, political dissidence and redress of grievances. Thanks to the great work of TruthAlliance.net, this operation has been exposed in the early stages. So when the event occurs we will be ready and prepared to expose this as an intentional act perpetuated by groups who have been influenced or directed by members of law enforcement and black-ops.
Of course, CNN and the corporate media will play right along. After the cops use their "pepper ball rifles, goo guns, sonic rays" against legitimate demonstrators concerned about the fascist cancer of unchecked globalization, we can expect the talking heads to follow the script, as they did in Seattle, and blame the victims.

Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.
He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.
"Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.
Limbaugh cited Al Sharpton, saying the Barack Obama supporter threatened to superdelegates that "there's going to be trouble" if the presidency is taken from Obama.
Several callers called in to the radio show to denounce Limbaugh's comments, when he later stated, "I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver."

Micah Parsons proves dominant in the Cotton Bowl
By Frank Bodani York Daily Record
The Penn State sophomore linebacker registered 14 tackles and forced two fumbles in the victory over Memphis
ARLINGTON, Texas — Micah Parsons knew the biggest game of his Penn State career was coming a week ago.
Each day in practice leading up to Saturday's Cotton Bowl he told defensive coordinator Brent Pry that he would win the game's most valuable defensive player.
"That's the type of mindset I have," Parsons said. "You've got to know before it happens. You can't be surprised by your moment. You've got to know your moment's there. And when you're on the biggest stage it's not time to crumble, it's time to shine."
Parsons then really knew that performance was coming when he noticed something on the bus ride to AT&T Stadium on Saturday morning.
It was raining.
So he texted his mother and father. He said his biggest games always seem to come in the rain — no matter that the Nittany Lions' run-and-gun victory over Memphis, a 53-39 final, was played inside.
"I said the storm was coming," he said, smiling in the postgame interview room, thinking back to the moment.
And then the Cotton Bowl started against these Tigers and Parsons, the sophomore from Harrisburg blew up a reverse for a 10-yard loss.
Then he made a couple of more tackles.
And his Lions and their struggling defense needed something, anything, to help them keep up with Memphis' pace and hold onto a narrow lead.
That's when Parson truly began feeling that he would produce the game of his life — one of the best defensive performances by a Penn State player in a bowl game.
His stat line: 14 tackles (seven solo), three tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups.
Along with the play that may have ultimately saved Penn State.
Go back to the final minute of the third quarter when he flew through the line to wrap up Memphis quarterback Brady White once more. As he pulled him to the ground White flung the ball desperately — and right into the arms of safety Garrett Taylor, who returned it 15 yards for a touchdown.
The Lions suddenly had the breathing room they would never give up again. In particular, Parsons' speed around scrimmage was more devastating then ever before.
"There's these guys who are clutch guys," Pry said when asked about Parsons in the winning locker room. "He wants his number called. He beat me up all game to blitz (like crazy)."
Then again, despite being named an All-American, this game was Parsons' first with multiple game-wrecking plays.
He did earn defensive MVP honors and further set himself up for even grander possibilities in 2020.
Pry reiterated the belief that Parsons still can improve substantially as a college player with a list of improvements ranging from fundamentals to position experience to work ethic.
His teammates see that continued upside, too. They teased him about still failing to hold onto his first college interception — like the ball he couldn't quite pick off the turf early in the game, then another he dropped late he possibly could have returned for a score.
"He's just starting to learn football," said junior defensive end Shaka Toney. "Thing is, he's (still) just playing off a lot of instincts right now. It's scary to see that he hasn't gotten to where he needs to be as a football player."
How good can he become?
"We could see him as the No. 1 overall (pick in the 2021 NFL Draft), if we want to be real about it," Toney said. "You can't teach the things he's doing out here. I don't believe there's a linebacker in the country next year that should be able to compete with Micah."
His coordinator and position coach echoed that. Already, it all plays into next fall for this team, this defense, this linebacker.
"Right now," Pry said, "you're going to have show me somebody going into next season who's a better defensive player than Micah Parsons."

You better be careful what you teach or you just might find yourself being tested.
At the end of another incredible worship service yesterday (another huge crowd, 2 baptisms, 5 people asking Jesus into their heart), I got news of a couple of things. One person backed into another car in the parking lot. Another person got bad news about their job and some health issues. React or Respond?
See that was one of the points in my message yesterday. When things get wacky, how does your faith play out in your life? Do you react and freak out or do you respond with confidence (faith)?
So I'm driving along this morning and my Jeep starts making a weird noise and smoking. Respond or React Doug? I have to confess that I did get impatient with my wife when I called her then I just started asking God to help me find the part I needed to fix it. Several phone calls, a trip to the other side of the county, $45, five hours later, the Jeep is great.
So What? If you can't practice what you preach, don't. If you want to really experience God's best, hang on. It is not always going to be smooth sailing. And one more thing, the stuff you learn in the Bible really can help you in real life.
BTW...you can listen to the enitre message on our web site, www.midtownechurch.com.
I really wasn't even sure he would fit. I mean, his shoulders are probably 50 inches wide. He is a huge guy! I wasn't so concerned about his height. I knew we could move him way forward and take care of that. But the shoulders...not too sure.
He climbed in the portable baptistery and I introduced him to the huge crowd that had gathered for our third service. I noticed that the room was full again and the "extra" chairs had been brought in. I briefly described baptism and began to send him down when it happened. Oh he fit just fine. But he threw himself back with such velocity that the largest wave I have ever seen in a baptistery was created! The water hit the back of the tub so hard that it curled back up and splashed me in the face. It poured out of the tub and hit the wall of the building some 10 feet away! What fun!
Just our third service and another baptism. For those who are counting, that makes 5 plus the one from our first preview service.
I am once again amazed by what God is doing. He keeps sending people our way and we keep sharing His love with them. They respond and commit. And now we have the awesome responsibility of growing them in their relationship with God. I knew it would take time and a lot of hard work. No problem there. I guess I just wasn't expecting the need for space so quickly. For get putting signs on classroom doors. We keep moving them each week.
What a great problem. What great fun. What a great splash.
This time is was 9:47am. I guess I was a little more uptight and expecting a let down after the huge launch. I also was not running around getting last minute things done this week (a huge credit to our awesome volunteers). But when I looked at my clock, it was 9:47 and there were not many people in the room. Again, that sinking feeling.
As the music started and I made my way in to the Worship Center, something odd happened. It was as if God said, "It's cool. Don't worry. I got this." The funny thing is, I know all that, but I just needed a reminder. God's cool like that.
When I got up to welcome everyone I saw it. When I looked out from the stage into the seats it had happened. God did it again. The place was packed! Now the average person may not have noticed. Even those who were there last week may not have noticed because we had moved the back "wall" back about 20 feet. But when I got the report during the next song that we were once again out of chairs even after getting more chairs during the week, I was overcome. I felt my knees buckle and I sobbed. God had brought more people to hear about His love.
I am so glad it's not about me. I am so glad it's not about a building, music, a person, or a program. It's all about God's love and grace.
It was 9:52 am. I know because I looked at the clock on my phone and asked our worship leader, Kenny, what time it was. I wanted to know because there were only about 30 people sitting in the Worship Center. I asked, "Where is everybody?" He asked if I had been in the Coffee Shop so I headed that way.
When I got there, it was packed! I made my way to the doorway and looked down the hall and there was a never ending river of people coming in! I scrambled back to the Worship Center where I was asked, "Should we put out more chairs?" because by that time all the people in the Coffee Shop had moved in to the Worship Center. I said, "Not yet." and kept moving to my seat on the front row. When I got to my seat, the band was halfway through the first song and I looked to the back of the room and saw tons of people standing. Needless to say, our volunteers were putting out more chairs.
By the time it was all said and done, there were no more chairs to be found and there were plenty of people still standing. The band was great. The technical stuff worked perfectly. I even did pretty good with the message.
I confessed that morning that I feared the worst even though I prayed for the best. For some reason in the back of my mind I thought that maybe no one would show and at 9:52 I feared I was right.
It was 11:37 am. A few of the Launch Team members and I were sitting in the Worship Center in awe of what had just happened. We asked God to overwhelm us and He did.


Complete electrical connection of a new summerhouse / outbuilding in Stanford-le-Hope, Thurrock.
This particular project involved the running of cable to the outbuilding from the mains supply and then the installation of all the standard electrical features that are expected in a modern summerhouse structure.
This fundamentally involved the installation of new lighting, switches and plug sockets, which will make the space usable all year round and be especially useful for entertaining in the summer.
The customer had chosen to have recessed LED spotlighting installed within the summerhouse and as can be seen within the photographs below, this will help reduce future expenditure on both replacement bulbs and electricity costs.
The entire project has taken approximately 2 months to complete from start to finish due to delays in other aspects of the summerhouses construction.

Q: Website does not recognise form input modified with javascript I am writing a chrome extension that extends a piece of software that I need to use for my work. I want to be able to copy all the form data from one page to another, but when I click save it immediately reverts to what it was before.

  }
});

I know the code is spaghetti, please don't judge me too much. The gist is that I am storing the values of text inputs in cookies and then copying them using the .val() jquery function. Any help is appreciated.
Edit
So it seems that the only inputs that it messes up on are editable dropdown menues. Not sure why still.

A: using .trigger() is a jQuery function, which straight javascript (which is what it appears you're using) won't recognize. Instead, you have the option of dispatchEvent() -- take a look here to see what that's about.
What you're going to want to do is to create a new change event, and dispatch that on the changed field. Programmatic changes don't propagate the way user-entered changes do.

The earliest known writing in Russia dates from the 10th century and was found at Novgorod. The main languages written on them in an early version of the Cyrillic alphabet were Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic. There are also some texts in Finnish, Latin and Greek.
Russian started appearing in writing regularly during the reign of Peter the Great (a.k.a. Peter I) (1672-1725) who introduced a revised alphabet and encouraged authors to use a literary style closer to their spoken language. The dialect of Moscow was used as the basis for written Russian.

When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00. She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250.00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!"
Made me chuckle for ages!

FREDERICK GEORGE POHLAND was born in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, on May 3, 1931. The middle child of five, he had a rather strict Lutheran upbringing and spent summers on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. His family later moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he attended his final year of high school. He received his B.S. in civil engineering from Valparaiso University (1953) and, after working as an engineer driving spikes with the Erie Lackawanna Railroad Company (one of many jobs that helped pay for his education), he completed service with the U.S. Army and then earned an M.S. (1958) and Ph.D. (1961) in environmental engineering at Purdue University.
He was awarded the prestigious Harrison Prescott Eddy Medal by the Water Environment Federation (WEF) in 1964 for his excellent dissertation and research. After working his way though college, and assisting his younger brother through the same institutions, Fred demonstrated his discipline and responsibility, which was reflected in all of his later endeavors. He received an Sc.D. (honoris causa) from Valparaiso University in 1996 for "excellence in service to the human family" as an engineer, student, explorer, teacher, professor, and writer interested in "the ways in which humans use and misuse that most vital of all elements—water."
Fred devoted most of his professional career to engineering education, research, practice, and service. He led the environmental engineering programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology (1961–1988) and then at the University of Pittsburgh (1989–2004). He was also Visiting Scholar at the University of Michigan (1967–1968) and a Guest Professor at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands (1976–1977).
At the time of his death, Fred was Professor and Edward R. Weidlein Chair of Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh; after his death, he was awarded an Emeritus Professorship, the first time the university conferred this honor posthumously. Fred's research led to fundamental advances in anaerobic processes. His concept of a landfill as a bioreactor through controlled leachate recycling was adopted by the Delaware Solid Waste Authority, among many others.
Fred originated and chaired the International Water Association (IWA) Specialist Groups on Anaerobic Digestion (1985–1992) and Landfill Management (1995–1999), which brought together practitioners, researchers, and educators from all over the world. In keeping with his commitment to applying research to practice and disseminating vital information, he served as regional editor of Water Research and Water Science and Technology (both 1993–2002) and as honorary executive editor of Water Research (1994–2000).
Fred could often be found on weekends in his office working on manuscripts, and thanks to his expertise, these publications became the exceptional journals they are today. From 1991 to 1998, he chaired the American Academy of Environmental Engineers (AAEE) WASTECH Program, which developed two series of books for practitioners in remediation.
A writer himself, Fred was the author of more than 150 technical and scientific publications. His clear, precise, insightful prose was praised by even the most rigorous critics. As chair of the WEF Program Committee (1989–1992), he worked to ensure that all professionals in the water-quality field were supplied with the latest science and technology. In 1989, WEF honored him with the Gordon Maskew Fair Medal for "exemplary demonstration of proficient accomplishment in the training and development of engineers in the environmental engineering field."
Fred served on the Environmental Protection Administration Science Advisory Board (1989–1997), where he worked hard to ensure that science and technology were used in the regulatory process. Fred's ability to unite education, research, and practice was recognized in many ways, including his election to the National Academy of Engineering (1993), honorary memberships in WEF (1993) and IWA (2000) and the bestowal of the Gordon Maskew Fair Award (2000), the presidency of AAEE (1992–1993), selection as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Simon Freeze Memorial Lecturer (2001), and bestowal of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors Frontier Award (2003). Fred served on many National Research Council committees addressing research on water resources, innovative technologies, landfills, subsurface contamination, environmental remediation at Navy facilities, biosolids, and advanced technology for human support in space.
Fred was also an active member of his community. In Atlanta and Pittsburgh, he was a member of Rotary Club International (and president of his local club), and he hosted international students through the organization's exchange program. He was always a willing volunteer for Junior Achievement, Special Olympics, and state certifying and examining boards. After his untimely death in 2004, the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors, in conjunction with the American Academy of Environmental Engineers, established the Frederick George Pohland Medal and honorarium to recognize his outstanding, sustained efforts to bridge environmental engineering research, education, and practice.
Fred's family, colleagues, and friends hope his example will encourage others to work toward combining these three elements of engineering and science. When I reflect on Fred's life and accomplishments, I am reminded that he was fascinated by the achievements of Abraham Lincoln and other great statesmen like George Washington and John Adams. He was also inspired by great environmental engineers like Thomas Camp, Gerald Rohlich, Donald O'Connor, and Gordon Maskew Fair.
What did Fred have in common with these men? A lot—especially courage and resolve. Here's an example. At my invitation, Fred was one of four adventurous engineers who took a whitewater rafting trip down the Gauley River in West Virginia, the most difficult rafting river in the East. At high water, the Gauley River has Class V rapids.
At the start of the trip, our guide cautioned us that our success in navigating the big rapids would depend on hard paddling to build up the velocity we would need to steer the raft. We made it through the first dozen or so scary rapids and then reached a Class V rapid, where photographers were waiting to record the event. Unlike many rafts before and after us, we did not capsize or lose anyone. Looking at the photographs later, we saw that most of the self-proclaimed adventurers were hanging onto the raft for dear life.
Fred was the only passenger with a paddle in the water. Commenting later, he said, "That is what we were supposed to do." His statement was simple but profound. Fred remained focused on accomplishing a goal—in this case paddling—although he thought he was just doing his duty. In the same way, his commitment to his professional life established him as one of the eminent engineers of his era. Fred's sense of responsibility was apparent in his career and in his commitments to his community, family, and friends.
Such is a measure of his eminence. His professional goals included helping his academic institutions become the best they could be. As a professor dedicated to excellence, he taught a full load of courses, brought in numerous research grants, mentored his students, and assisted his colleagues. He reached beyond his institutions to facilitate the practice of engineering on a broad scale, to assist government agencies in making environmentally sound decisions, all the while honing his own skills and expertise.
He felt he had a responsibility to excel in his profession so he could have a greater impact. Finally, he felt he had a responsibility to maintain high personal standards, to live up to a professional code of conduct. As a result, prestigious professional societies awarded him their highest honors. Fred's guidance and leadership will be missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and students.
I had the good fortune of working with Fred on technicalsociety leadership, government advisory boards, and National Academy committees. We became close friends, and I got to know his family, his beloved wife, Ruth, and daughter, Elizabeth, very well. It was an honor for me to write this memorial tribute.
For advancing the theory of anaerobic treatment processes and applications to solid waste management.

Hundreds turn out for job fair
Out of work Stanislaus County residents came out in droves for the Modesto HIREvent. The line for the job fair stretched around the block at Modesto Centre Plaza on Tuesday. An estimated 500 people were lined up when the event opened at noon. - photo by ANDREA GOODWIN / The Journal

Updated: March 29, 2011, 7:30 p.m.
With unemployment rates hovering around 18 percent in Stanislaus County, many residents are looking for any type of job they can find. Hundreds of those would-be workers lined up outside Modesto's HIREvent and waited up to an hour for the opportunity to hand their resumes over to companies looking to hire.
"I've been unemployed for two years. It's been hard to find a job and unemployment is down. I was a manager at a clothing store but at this point I'll take anything," said Vanessa Almaguer, who was waiting in line outside of the job fair.
Almaguer was not alone in her quest to find a job, any job, which offered steady pay. There were more than 500 people lined up along K Street when the Modesto HIREvent opened on Tuesday. The line stretched around the block, and stayed steady throughout the afternoon.
Kathy Caricato, job fair coordinator for Job Journal, said that a similar event in Stockton brought almost 2,000 job seekers in January. Job Journal coordinates HIREvents where local companies can meet potential job candidates. The event was free to the public and included resume critiques and job-related seminars. Job seekers turned out in droves, but Caricato was not surprised by the turnout.
"We're the only ones who do a job fair in this area anymore," Caricato said.
Caricato said that there were 14 companies present, all actively recruiting employees. Positions ranged from entry level to upper management. Some companies, including E & J Gallo Winery, were hiring for a number of positions at the fair.
Allie Caldwell with Citadel Broadcasting was recruiting for one part-time person to work an entry level job in promotions for local radio stations. During the first hour of the fair Caldwell talked to an estimated 60 people who were interested in the position.
"We've seen so many people today, how could we not find someone?" Caldwell said.
Unemployment knows no bounds, and there were job seekers of every age, ethnicity and experience level looking for positions. Most were currently unemployed, but some were employed but seeking full-time or steady jobs. Attendees had work experience in hundreds of fields, everything from accounting to engineering to plumbing and sales.
Persistence paid off for some, including Gina Wise, who has been out of work for about four months. She was one of the several hundred people waiting outside of the HIREvent before it opened at noon. She waited about 45 minutes to get in the door.
"I got a job interview so it was worth it," Wise said.
The most important thing about job fairs, Wise said, is to come prepared.
"Have your resume up to date and ready to hand out, and dress professionally," Wise advised.
Others were less optimistic about their odds of finding employment at the job fair. Patrick York stopped by the HIREvent while he was in downtown Modesto on Tuesday, but he said "forget it" when he saw the line.
"If I would have known years ago what the job market would be like today, I would have done things differently. Now it's a one in a thousand chance of getting hired," York said.
The majority of attendees at the HIREvent decided to take their chances and hand in resumes to whoever would take them. Alberto Godinez said that he is currently working as an independent contractor for a cable company, but he would like a stable job with a better future. He said that the job fair was a great opportunity to find work that would support his family.
"It's great that there's still hope," Godinez said.
