Matthew Cooper Testifies Rove Told Him About Plame
Posted in Uncategorized on January 31, 2007| Leave a Comment »
Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) — Former Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper testified today that top presidential aide Karl Rove was the first person to tell him that an Iraq war critic's wife was a CIA official.
Cooper, testifying in Lewis "Scooter" Libby's perjury trial, also contradicted Libby's account of a conversation the two had the following day, on July 12, 2003, about war critic Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame.
Libby, 56, Vice President Dick Cheney's former top aide, is accused of lying to investigators probing whether U.S. officials deliberately leaked Plame's identity to retaliate against Wilson for attacking the administration's Iraq war claims. Prosecutors say Libby falsely told a grand jury that, when Cooper asked about Plame, he said he heard about her from other reporters and didn't know if the information was true.
"I asked what he heard about Wilson's wife" sending him to Niger to find out if Iraq sought to buy uranium there, Cooper said. "Mr. Libby said words to the effect of `yeah, I heard that too."'
Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald asked whether Libby said where he had learned about Plame.
"Not in any way," said Cooper, now Washington editor of a new magazine, Conde Nast Portfolio. Asked whether Libby said he heard about her from other reporters, Cooper replied in the negative.
Wilson wrote a column in the New York Times on July 6, 2003, saying he found no evidence that Iraq tried to buy uranium in Niger and accusing the Bush administration of "twisting" intelligence to justify invading Iraq.
Senate foes of troop buildup join forces
WASHINGTON – Two senators — a Republican and a Democrat — leading separate efforts to put Congress on record against President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq joined forces Wednesday, agreeing on a nonbinding resolution that would oppose the plan and potentially embarrass the White House.
Sens. John Warner (news, bio, voting record), R-Va., and Carl Levin (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., had been sponsoring competing measures opposing Bush's strategy of sending 21,500 more U.S. troops to the war zone, with Warner's less harshly worded version attracting more Republican interest. The new resolution would vow to protect funding for troops while keeping Warner's original language expressing the Senate's opposition to the buildup.
Levin replaced Warner as chairman of the Armed Services Committee when the Democrats took control of the Senate in January. Their resolution could well gain more support from members of both parties than their separate versions had been attracting. It lacks Levin's language saying the troop increase is against the national interest, and it drops an earlier provision by Warner suggesting Senate support for some additional troops.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record) said he wants to begin debate Monday on the new measure, bypassing committee review. Levin's original resolution would no longer be considered unless offered as an amendment.
"I believe we have a better chance now" of passing a resolution against the president's plan, said Sen. Richard Durbin (news, bio, voting record), D-Ill.
The resolution is likely to pose a threat to the White House because of its potential appeal to Republicans who have grown tired of the nearly four-year war and want a chance to express their concerns. The White House has been hoping to avoid an overwhelming congressional vote criticizing Bush's handling of the war.
"It's been a hard work in progress," Warner said of his resolution, which has been struggling to win support of 60 senators so as to prevent a filibuster.
The agreement comes as several leading Republicans who support the troop buildup said they will give the administration and the Iraqis about six months to show significant improvement. Many other Republicans say they are deeply skeptical additional troops in Iraq, rather than a political settlement, would help calm the sectarian violence.
The widely unpopular war has led to the deaths of more than 3,000 U.S. troops and is blamed for GOP losses in the Nov. 7 elections that handed control of Congress to the Democrats.
The House had planned on waiting for the Senate to vote as a way of testing the waters for Republican support of such a resolution. But according to a Democratic aide, the House may begin the process next week with a committee review. That would set the stage for a House floor debate the week of Feb. 12.
Warner had attracted at least seven other Republicans who were inclined to vote for his resolution. Scrambling to find additional support, Warner added language proposed by Sen. Judd Gregg (news, bio, voting record), R-N.H., that would protect funding for troops.
As of late Wednesday, Gregg had not said whether he would support the revised resolution.
"Colleagues have come up to me and said, 'Can you assure me that this doesn't provide a cutoff of funds?'" Warner said.
Warner's resolution will now rival a proposal by Sens. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), R-S.C., that would identify benchmarks for the Iraqi government. McCain's measure is intended to give Republicans an outlet for expressing that the U.S. commitment in Iraq must not be open-ended, without openly criticizing the president.
McCain's measure also picked up steam Wednesday, with Sens. Pat Roberts (news, bio, voting record), R-Kan., Lisa Murkowski (news, bio, voting record), R-Alaska, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (news, bio, voting record), R-Ga., and GOP leaders saying they might support it.
"I don't think this war can be sustained for more than six months if in fact we don't see some progress," said Roberts. His comments came two days after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (news, bio, voting record), R-Ky., said the new U.S. military push was the Iraqis' "last chance."
Bush on Wednesday objected to Iraq proposals from Republicans and Democrats alike and acknowledged that "there's a lot of pessimism" in Congress about his troop buildup.
In an interview with Fox News, Bush took issue with McConnell's statement that his plan needs to be successful over the next six to nine months.
"I think it's a mistake to put timetables on difficult missions because an enemy can adjust," Bush said. "On the other hand, I certainly understand the urgency in Mitch's voice. I also understand the skepticism on Capitol Hill. I mean, no doubt, there's a lot of pessimism there today."
In a statement after the president's interview, McConnell avoided mention of a specific time frame, but he stressed that the U.S. commitment in Iraq "is not open-ended."
"We will know in a relatively short period of time whether or not the Iraqis are committed, and initial results are positive," McConnell said. "Of course we would need to reconsider our strategy if this effort fails."
Bush also criticized a proposal by Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois, to have all U.S. combat forces out of Iraq by spring 2008. "I say that it's important to succeed and that failure in Iraq will cause chaos," Bush said. "My admonition to those who are speaking out is let us back the troops and let us hope for the success" of their mission.
Although deserted by some key Republicans, Bush said: "I don't feel abandoned. … When times are good, there's millions of authors of the plan. When times are bad, there's one author, and that would be me."
Obama Says "Withdraw the Troops By March '08″
Barack Obama has introduced a bill that requires the withdrawal of troops in the near future, with complete withdrawal by March of 2008.
The timetable may be too slow for some, and too fast for others.
Sen. Clinton has said she would consider it "irresponsible" for Bush not to have withdrawn all troops by the end of his term in January 2009.
Obama is now recommending making it a matter of law that troops be out ten months earlier than that.
The debate among Democrats is clearly shifting more toward winding down the war. (Note that I didn't say it's "shifting to the left."
Opposition to this war can no longer be described as a left/right issue.)
Roundup: 'Stressed' Miller takes stand in CIA leak trial
Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller is "stressed out" and on the stand live undergoing questions in the CIA leak trial, and has just contradicted statements by Vice President Cheney's former Chief of Staff I. Lewis Libby, who said he believed he first learned of CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity from another reporter.
AP: "Miller testified Tuesday that Libby discussed the CIA officer on June 3, 2003. He said Wilson's wife worked for the "bureau," Miller recalled. She was confused about that at first, she said. "Through the context of the discussion, I quickly determined it to be the CIA," she testified.
Firedoglake, which has been covering the CIA leak trial closely, is in the courtroom now. "This is not the picture of someone who is relaxed," blogger EmptyWheel notes.
It "looks like she's doing breathing exercises, pouring herself water. Got out of chair and is now back," adds EmptyWheel. "Gets more water… Looking around cautiously. Closes eyes. Breathes. Breathes out. Looking straight forward. Head darts nervously. Staring forward. Shifts in chair. Looks toward Libby's team? Looks toward lawyers. Adjusts blouse. Looks at lawyers again. Looks down, folds arms. Looks down. Looks toward Libby's team. Folds arms, leans back, turning in swivel chair. Takes glasses off. Looks for tissue to wipe her hands."

NY Times: Bush signs landmark executive order increasing power over federal agencies
President George W. Bush has given his administration a boost in how the government regulates key issues such as civil rights and the environment, The New York Times will report on its Tuesday front page.
The President "signed a directive that gives the White House much greater control over the rules that the federal government develops to regulate public health, safety," privacy and other issues, writes Robert Pear for the Times.
Pear reports that "in an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Bush said that each federal agency must have a regulatory policy office run by a political appointee" who will monitor the creation of process and procedures and the associated documentation.
"The White House will thus have a gatekeeper in each agency," Pear writes, "to analyze the costs and benefits of new rules and to make sure they carry out the president's priorities."
Excerpts from the Times article follow…
This strengthens the hand of the White House in shaping rules that have, in the past, often been generated by civil servants and scientific experts. It suggests that the administration still has ways to exert its power after the takeover of Congress by the Democrats.
The White House said the executive order was not meant to rein in any one agency. But business executives and consumer advocates said the administration was particularly concerned about rules and guidance issued by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Business groups welcomed the executive order, saying it had the potential to reduce what they saw as the burden of federal regulations. This burden is of great concern to many groups, including small businesses, that have given strong political and financial backing to Bush.
Consumer, labor and environmental groups denounced the executive order, saying it gave too much control to the White House and would hinder agencies' efforts to protect the public.
Jan. 27: This Marine's death came after he served in Iraq
Posted in Uncategorized on January 30, 2007| 1 Comment »
When Jonathan Schulze came home from Iraq, he tried to live a normal life. But the war kept that from happening.
At first, Jonathan Schulze tried to live with the nightmares and the grief he brought home from Iraq. He was a tough kid from central Minnesota, and more than that, a U.S. Marine to the core.
Yet his moods when he returned home told another story. He sobbed on his parents' couch as he told them how fellow Marines had died, and how he, a machine gunner, had killed the enemy. In his sleep, he screamed the names of dead comrades. He had visited a psychiatrist at the VA hospital in Minneapolis.
Two weeks ago, Schulze went to the VA hospital in St. Cloud. He told a staff member he was thinking of killing himself, and asked to be admitted to the mental health unit, said his father and stepmother, who accompanied him. They said he was told he couldn't be admitted that day. The next day, as he spoke to a counselor in St. Cloud by phone, he was told he was No. 26 on the waiting list, his parents said.
Four days later, Schulze, 25, committed suicide in his New Prague home.
Citing privacy laws, Veterans Affairs officials wouldn't comment specifically on the case, nor would they confirm or deny the Schulze family's account. However, Dr. Sherrie Herendeen, line director for mental health services at the St. Cloud hospital, said Thursday that under VA policy, a veteran talking about suicide would immediately be escorted into the hospital's locked mental health unit for treatment.
She also said that after hearing of Schulze's death, the hospital is doing an internal review of its procedures.
Schulze's father and stepmother, Jim and Marianne Schulze of rural Stewart, Minn., say their son would be alive today if the VA had acted on his pleas for admittance. They say they heard him tell VA staff in St. Cloud that he felt suicidal — in person on Jan. 11 at the hospital, and over the phone on Jan. 12.
On the evening of Jan. 16, Schulze called family and friends to tell them that he was preparing to kill himself. They called New Prague police, who smashed in the door and found him hanging from an electrical cord. Police attempted to resuscitate him, but it was too late.
Schulze's family doctor in Stewart, a farming crossroads in McLeod County, said he was convinced that Schulze suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, a disabling mental condition that can result from military combat.
"Jonathan was a classic," said Dr. William Phillips, who said he first examined Schulze in October 2004 when Schulze was home on leave from Marine duty.
Phillips said Schulze was reliving combat in his sleep, had flashbacks when he was awake, couldn't eat, felt paranoid, struggled with relationships and admitted to drinking alcohol excessively. Phillips prescribed medication to calm his nerves and help him sleep.
The doctor also asked Schulze to seek counseling at Camp Pendleton, the Marine Corps base in California where he was assigned. Phillips said he was unable to learn whether Schulze had done so.
"We don't have a system for this," Phillips said this week. "The VA is overwhelmed, and we're rural doctors out here trying to deal with this.
Unfortunately, we're going to see a lot of Jonathans."
Maj. Cynthia Rasmussen, the combat stress officer for the 88th Regional Readiness Command at Fort Snelling, said veterans returning to Minnesota who have problems often don't seek help until their civilian lives begin to fall apart. "Soldiers think if they go to get help that they're going to be seen as weak, but they also think their command won't have faith in them," she said.
Rasmussen said reasons for mental illness among returning veterans are many and complex, but often relate to personality changes that service members must make while in uniform — and especially in combat zones — and then try to readjust to civilian life.
After Schulze left the Marines in late 2005, he continued to have aching memories of combat.
"When he got back from Iraq he was mentally scattered," said his older brother Travis, who also served there with the Marines.

Fleischer Tells Jury That Libby Told Him About Plame
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer told a jury today that Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff disclosed to him the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame a week before her name surfaced publicly in the press.
Taking the stand as the most critical witness so far in the perjury trial of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Fleischer said that in an unusual lunch in the White House mess, Libby told him that the wife of prominent war critic Joseph C. Wilson IV worked in the CIA's counterproliferation division.
Fleischer, who was called by the prosecution, said Libby told him at the July 7 lunch that former ambassador Wilson was sent to Niger to investigate reports Iraq had tried to buy nuclear material there by Wilson's wife, not by the vice president, as some news accounts were saying.
Wilson later accused the administration of twisting information he gathered, in order to justify the invasion of Iraq. Some have charged that Plame's name was leaked to columnist Robert D. Novak, who published it in a July 14 column, to discredit Wilson.
Fleischer said he believed that Libby told him Plame's name, but could not be sure.
"He added that this was something hush-hush or on the QT, that not many people knew this information," Fleisher said. "My impression was Mr. Libby was telling me this was kind of newsy."
Added Fleischer: "My thought was that what I was hearing was about nepotism."
Libby is charged with lying to FBI agents and a grand jury and obstructing justice in the investigation of who leaked Plame's name to Novak. He told investigators that he learned about Plame's identity from NBC reporter Tim Russert in a July 10 telephone call. He has pleaded not guilty, contending that when he testified, he did not remember some conversations he had with reporters about Plame. He is not charged with the leak itself.
Fleischer said he never viewed the information he received about Plame as classified or secret, because the protocol in the White House was that press aides would be warned explicitly when information was classified and could not be used in discussions with reporters.
Fleischer also made clear how uncomfortable he was when questioned earlier that day at a press briefing about Wilson's claims that the administration was twisting intelligence. Earlier in the spring, he had insisted that President Bush stood behind 16 words in his 2003 State of the Union address about Iraq's efforts to buy uranium in Niger.
But higher level officials he didn't name began suggesting it might be a problem to defend that statement.
"I had been told to be careful not to stand by the 16 words, that the ground might be shifting on that," Fleischer said. "You can't say yes. You can't say no. At that briefing, I basically punted. I said yes and no."
During afternoon testimony, Fleischer told jurors that, a few days after his lunch with Libby, Fleischer had relayed the fact that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA to two reporters while they were covering a trip Bush made to Africa.
According to Fleischer, he passed on the information to the reporters, NBC's David Gregory and Time magazine's John Dickerson, as they were walking alongside a road in Uganda.
The former press secretary said that, in addition to learning about Plame from Libby, he also had just heard another White House aide, then-communications director Dan Bartlett, "vent" about news accounts that Cheney had asked for Wilson's trip. Fleischer said he was in the senior staff cabin of Air Force 1 during the Africa trip when he overheard Bartlett say out loud that Wilson's wife had sent him on the mission to Niger.
He testified that neither Libby nor Bartlett gave him any reason to believe that Plame's employment was classified.
"I never in my wildest dreams thought this information would be classified," he said.
Fleischer, who left the White House in mid-July 2003, said that in September, about 2 1/2 months after his conversation with the reporters, he saw a news account that the CIA had asked the Justice Department to investigate a possibly illegal leak of a covert CIA officer's identity.
"I was absolutely horrified to know I had played a role," Fleischer said. "I thought, 'Oh my God. Did I play a role in somehow outing a CIA officer. . . . Did I just do something that I could be in big trouble for.' "
He said that he hired lawyers and ultimately agreed to be interviewed by investigators after receiving immunity from prosecution.
Defense attorneys told U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton this morning they want to try to cast Fleischer as a man who had a motive to help prosecutors and lie about Libby — to save himself from possible prosecution for leaking information to reporters in mid-July 2003. Plame's name and secret CIA role first appeared in a syndicated column by Robert Novak on July 14, 2003 — eight days after her husband publicly accused the administration of using bad intelligence to justify the war with Iraq earlier that year.
But at the same time, defense lawyers warned Walton that they are worried about the government providing too much information or suggesting too much about Fleischer seeking the immunity deal — because of what it might imply about their own client.
"The government seeks to use this testimony that if Mr. Fleisher thought he had a criminal problem, Mr. Libby must have thought he had a criminal problem," said defense attorney William H. Jeffress Jr.
Defense attorneys are suspicious of the immunity deal and why Fitzgerald made it without any apparent reluctance. Libby's defense lawyers suggested last week in court that Fitzgerald got a secret summary of Fleischer's testimony — a deal they want to discuss with jurors when Fleischer takes the stand today.
Walton said this morning he had read in his chambers an affidavit the government provided from Fleischer about his immunity deal and was "satisfied" there was nothing to suggest Fleischer promised Fitzgerald any specific testimony. Fitzgerald had said last week no such promises were made.
"We got no specifics," Fitzgerald said then.

Via Dolorosa är en pilgrimsvandring i Jerusalem. Ordet betyder "Smärtans väg" på latin. Via Dolorosa betraktas som den väg som Jesus vandrade med korset upp till Golgata där korsfästelsen ägde rum.

Pilgrimsvandringar från Antoniaborgen till den heliga gravens kyrka infördes av franciskanerna redan under medeltiden, och längs vägen finns fjorton stationer där man kan stanna för att be. Dessa stationer förekommer ofta i form av bilder i katolska kyrkor och brukas för korsvägsandakter där man i tankarna följer Via Dolorosa. Vandringen bygger delvis på bibeltexter och delvis på traditioner.

Europe's leading in-water boat show will once again grace the glittering Bay of Cannes when it returns for its 41st edition between 11th to 16th September 2018.
At the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, nearly 600 boats, ranging from motor and sailing yachts to multihulls, tenders and day boats, will be showcased across the two ports of Cannes: the Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto. Around 100 of these yachts will be making their world debut.
Superyachts in attendance at the six-day show will be found in the Brokerage and Charter Area at the Port Pierre Canto. Here, the biggest international brokers and charter companies present the key players on the second-hand and charter markets.
A shuttle service between the two ports ensures visitors can reach the two show locations in just seven minutes by sea, and 2018 will welcome a new ground service accessible to all exhibitors and visitors upon presentation of their admission ticket.
Other highlights of the festival are a superyacht extension on the Vieux Port for new models, exhibitions of boating equipment and service companies in the Pantiero, and the third edition of the Luxury Gallery, an area in the Palais des Festivals dedicated to luxury, crafts and lifestyle.
There will also be another edition of the popular Concours d'Elégance, an exceptional showcase of vintage and modern day boats paying tribute to the rich history of sailing in the French Riviera.

Arctic lakes possess the unique characteristic of being covered by a thick layer of ice for most of the year. In summer, the increased heat input results in thinning of this ice and melting of the margins, which opens up the littoral zone. Global warming observed over the last few decades could potentially intensify the thinning and contraction of the surface area of the lake ice. Hence, the littoral zone would benefit from increased availability of solar energy, resulting in enhanced productivity and greater interactions with the atmosphere.
The littoral zones of lakes in subarctic, temperate and tropical regions are defined by the presence of macrophytes and periphyton. However, High Arctic lakes contain few macroscopic plants, mainly mosses that persist to the bottom of the lake (Sand-Jensen et al. 1999). The objective of my thesis is to identify criteria that can be used to define the littoral zone of Arctic lakes and to evaluate the influence of the loss of the ice cover on the littoral food web dynamics and their interactions with the offshore, pelagic zone. My central hypothesis is that the transition from the littoral zone to the pelagic zone is characterized by an abrupt change in limnological properties (e.g., underwater light, temperature structure, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll concentrations) where the ice cover ends. Thus, the benthic microbial food web in the littoral zone would have a markedly different structure than the benthic microbial food web in the pelagic zone of the lake. I also will test the hypothesis that loss of ice cover will stimulate the production of microbial mats and mosses of the bottom of the lake due to an increase in photosynthetically available radiation, and that an increase in ultraviolet radiation exposure will modify the quality of dissolved organic carbon quality that is released in the water column.
This research will take place on two High Arctic lakes. Ward Hunt Lake (85°05'N, 74°10'W) experienced a massive reduction of its ice cover thickness and area over the past few years after more than 50 years of stability, and completely lost its ice cover during the summers of 2011 and 2012 (Paquette et al. 2015). My research will focus on this lake as an excellent model to study the benthic zone and its relation with ice cover variations, with comparative analyses of the much deeper Lake A on northern Ellesmere Island (Comeau et al. 2012). I will apply a broad range of methods including satellite image analysis, physico-chemical profiling, sediment sampling, and plankton, pigment, lipid and stable isotope analysis, with the aim to develop an integrative, conceptual model of the littoral zone in Arctic lakes.

When the intense fighting spirit beneath the sky and the earth had reached the extremity, the melodious bell rang and eventually resounded throughout the horizon. As rang, its sound lingered continuously around the place.
In the sky, some rays of light were condensed, and some space distorted. Three light shadows slowly emerged, representing the supremacy within the Daluo Territory: The Condor King, the Spiritual Pupil King, and the unfathomable Sleeping King.
As soon as these three appeared, innumerable people on the ground bowed to, and saluted, them in awe. Even the Nine Lords slightly lowered their heads. The three kings were the only ones standing indifferently, beneath the sky and the earth - their statuses were simply untouchable. After the Condor King waved the sleeve of his robe, everyone suddenly felt a stream of soft power rushing toward them, making their bodies become stiff again.
"Presumably, the rules of the Daluo Golden Pool are known to all of you. So, I'm going to say no more about that. And no one cares how you make it to the mountain peak. In here, the result - not the means - is the only thing that matters."
"There are only four spots available for the entry to the Daluo Golden Pool. Your skills will decide how you may contest for it."
Little by little, the old voice of the Condor King spread everywhere, while the atmosphere beneath the sky and the earth became terrifying, and the eyes of many powerful people present were getting sharp. Every single one of them, who was qualified for the competition, was an outstanding person in their own clan or group,and none of them would get scared facing any sort of competitors. One must undergo a cruel fight in order to take the four spots from all of these strong candidates.
"The time has come," the Spiritual Pupil King said frigidly, as the lights in his eyes flashed.
Both the Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King turned their eyes on the ever-drowsy man beside them. The Condor King smiled, commanding, "Brother Meng, please unlock the Peak of the Golden Pool."
Though they were known as the Three Kings together, the Condor King and the Spiritual Pupil King were fairly polite to the Sleeping King, who would never intervene in the internal affairs of the Daluo Territory. They were fully aware of the fact that this man - among the Three Kings - was the one most trusted by the Lord of the Territory.
"Mmm." The Sleeping King yawned, without caring about how this act would make him look, and nodded unhurriedly.
Each of the three kings started to shoot a light ray from their hands, each of which went directly into the Peak of the Golden Pool. Afterwards, everybody witnessed that the spaces surrounding the Peak were gradually distorted, but the appearance of the Peak itself was getting clearer and clearer.
When the Peak of the Golden Pool became clearer than ever, an indescribable and majestic spirit energy swept across the entire area, and the sky, as well as the earth, seemed to be dyed in gold. A golden flood torrent poured down from the towering mountaintop, making it look like the Peak of the Golden Pool was actually made of gold.
"That is known as the Golden Pool Torrent," said Qiu Shan, who was standing beside Mu Chen. "It is extremely powerful and can be compared to the force of tens of thousands of sea waves scouring at the same time. Only the top powers at the Sovereign-level may manage to resist it with an effort. All of the mountain climbers, however, must endure and survive the impact of the Torrent, before getting to the peak."
As the brightness of the Peak of the Golden Pool reached its apex, the three kings in the air waved their hands simultaneously. The surrounding space rippled, while the clear and melodious bell reverberated back and forth. A sense of feverish excitement was seen in everyone's eyes.
"The Match of Daluo Golden Pool - begins now."
Immediately after the cold voice of the Condor King came out from the clouds, numerous light beams of Spiritual Energy rushed toward the sky, and an abundance of light shadows rose straight up from the ground. One after another, they were all heading toward the Peak of the Golden Pool, with fury, at a lightning speed.
"Commander Mu, this time, it all depends on you!" The three mightiest ones among the Nine Nether Troops, Qiu Shan, Bei Mo, and Lan Hai, gave a fist-wrapping salute to Mu Chen in a grave manner. Their home, the Nine Nether Palace, had almost been forgotten over the years. Now, whether they would make a good start or not, would completely depend on how Mu Chen could perform in the match.
Mu Chen cracked a smile, then nodded without a word. He stood on his tiptoes and turned into a light streamer, skimming over the skyline. Then, under the gaze of numerous spectators, he dropped into the lofty Peak of the Golden Pool.
"Sister Jiu You, do you think Mu Chen can obtain the entry to the Golden Pool?" Anxiety was obvious on Tang Rou's beautiful cheek. All of the girls knew that this match of the Golden Pool was critical for the Nine Nether Palace.
"Rest assured. Mu Chen won't disappoint us." A smile appeared on Jiu You's pretty, oval-shaped face. She apparently had great confidence in Mu Chen.
"See how I will punish him if he fails." Tang Bing gazed at Mu Chen's back, too, with a slight sense of bitterness in her voice.
Tang Bing's words made Jiu You smile again.
In mid-air, the three kings waved their sleeves, causing a series of spatial fluctuations, followed by the condensing of their spiritual energy. The energy then formed into a group of light glasses, upon which the images of all people entering the Peak of the Golden Pool were reflected.
A split second after Mu Chen had landed his feet on the Peak of the Golden Pool, the vast, overwhelming golden torrents rushed toward him all at once, as if they were going to crush everything - including mountains - into power. Under this impact, everyone, who had not yet achieved the Sovereign-level, would be torn to pieces.
The golden torrents were reflected in Mu Chen's pupils. His face, however, was rather calm. He flicked his fingers, which shot out some burning, purple-colored spiritual energy that was twisting like ribbons, breaking the torrents apart.
When a crack appeared on the torrents, Mu Chen dashed into it, like a ghost, then ran toward the peak at full speed, following the trace of the crack. At the same time, bursts of spiritual energy fluctuations were continually seen everywhere. All the people climbing up the mountain were trying as hard as they could to break the golden torrents by burning their energy and going straight to the peak.
Everyone knew that, no matter how fast they could get there, only four of them would eventually get the spots of entry. This fierce competition meant that almost everyone else was an enemy. Thus, to obtain a spot, one must reduce the number of rivals over and over again.
Because of this, the match showed its cruelty from the very beginning. As some of the competitors were attempting to tear down the golden torrents to make their way to the peak, others were hidden in the dark, seeking to launch a swift and vicious attack.
Aging bursts of spiritual energies spread across the tall the rugged mountains, with lights flashing and killers roaring incessantly.
Mu Chen stepped onto a rock with so much pressure that it immediately blew up and turned into powder. Mu Chen's body then flew past the ground, like a shadow. But right after he left the area, there was an ear-piercing sound, charging at him from the back.
However, the sudden attack Mu Chen encountered did not panic him. He made a backhand attack in return, transforming his spiritual energy into a huge palm that collided with the other source of energy in the back.
This rampant release of spiritual energy was followed by a muffled groan that belonged to a man who was knocked into the air by the shock wave. The man was then swallowed by the golden torrent, before he backed out awkwardly, having no intention of provoking Mu Chen anymore. Mu Chen also did not want to be aggressive. Hence, as he caught a glimpse of the man, he, too, started rushing out once again.
In just ten minutes, Mu Chen had already faced nearly ten attacks - of course, they were all random, and none of them was made intentionally against him. People entering this place had no allies, while the more enemies they could kill, the more opportunity they would get.
Mu Chen looked up, as he could see that about ten figures were at the forefront of everyone in the golden torrent. Those were the "the first echelon" in the match, each of whom were one of the strongest competitors, with enormous power.
Mu Chen did not squeeze himself into the first echelon, because he knew that showing all his strengths at this moment would not be the wise thing to do. Also, as Tang Bing had reminded him earlier, Lord Blood Hawk had already sent someone to target him. Loss, or even death, was right ahead, unless he remained cautious.
While Mu Chen was sunken in his thoughts, two light shadows clashed with each other, not far from where he was staying. One of them sent out a slap that tore the golden torrents, then rapidly hit the other's chest.
Blood was spat out of the mouth of the man being hit, as his body was knocked backwards into the air. The other man, who won the fight, was not following up - he glanced at the surroundings and discovered Mu Chen nearby.
The two stared at each other, both of their bodies taut with vigilance. Mu Chen calmly observed this man. Despite his rather ordinary appearance, he had a tall and strong body that made him look like an iron tower. His eyes, however, were full of caution. This man had unusual strength.
Mu Chen was a little amazed, because he felt a rare, strong fluctuation of spiritual energy on the man's body, and more surprisingly, the man did not seem to be anyone from the Nine Lords' side. Otherwise, he would have had to be from the affiliated powers in the Daluo Territory.
The tall man glanced at Mu Chen, who looked young, but made him smell a great danger, as clearly this young person, who was seemingly gentle and calm, harbored a beast hidden inside him. Thus, he posed a very big threat.
As a result, the man nodded to Mu Chen in a friendly way and left for another direction. He had made it obvious, wordlessly getting his message across: let's just go about our own businesses.
After watching the man disappear, Mu Chen slowed his pace. Inside his eyes, there was a drastic change of expression, because he now felt four insidious fluctuations of power approaching him speedily.
Those sent by Lord Blood Hawk had finally come to kill him.

It turns out that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein authorized—in a secret memo, yet—Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Paul Manafort, Presidential candidate Donald Trump's sometime campaign manager, regarding Manafort's work for the Ukrainian government.
conspiring against the US, conspiring to commit money laundering, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, and making false statements. A subsequent indictment…alleges he committed tax and bank fraud.
and Manafort has both denied the accusations and formally pled not guilty—his actions would not be out of the ordinary, and they don't warrant a special counsel's investigation.
If DoJ had legitimate interest in Manafort's actions, DoJ would investigate with the FBI and/or other, established and regular, police forces. The fact that these accusations are further alleged to have occurred in Ukraine is not relevant to such run-of-the-mill crimes.

ООО «Томск Авиа» — региональная авиакомпания, выполнявшая рейсы по Томской области и в соседние регионы. Учредителями являлись ООО "АВС «Томск Авиа» и ООО «ПромАвиаСервис» с долей участия 60 % и 40 %, соответственно.

Базовым аэропортом компании являлся аэропорт Богашёво, расположенный в 15 км к юго-востоку от Томска.

В июле 2015 года сертификат эксплуатанта был аннулирован; компания прекратила работу и совершила последний рейс.

История
История компании начинается с 1932 года — даты первых полетов в Колпашево.

В 1970-х годах Томское авиапредприятие одним из первых в Сибири получило в эксплуатацию самолёты Ту-154.

В августе 1998 года Томское государственное авиапредприятие начало сдавать в аренду авиакомпании «Сибирь» три самолёта Ту-154Б.

В мае 1999 года авиакомпания начала сдавать в аренду «Сибири» дополнительно самолёт Ту-154М.

В 1999 году начались подготовительные работы по присоединению к Томскому авиапредприятию новосибирского. Имущественный комплекс ФГУП «Новосибирск Авиа» должен был быть передан на баланс ФГУП «Томскавиа» в 2004 году, однако этого не произошло, поскольку «Томскавиа» потеряло интерес к новосибирскому аэропорту Северный и лётному парку обанкротившегося предприятия.

18 августа 2001 года во время тренировочного полёта погиб заместитель генерального директора «Томскавиа» и генеральный директор «Новосибирск Авиа» Александр Флейшер, который активно продвигал идею объединения двух компаний.

В 2004 году ФГУП «Томскавиа» было акционировано, 100 % акций принадлежали Министерству имущественных отношений РФ (c 2008 — ФАУГИ).

7 июля 2006 года из ОАО «Томск Авиа» было выделено ООО «Авиакомпания "Томск Авиа"». Директором ООО «Авиакомпания "Томск Авиа"» решением совета учредителей назначен Владимир Владимирович Щербаков. ООО "Авиакомпания «Томск Авиа» состоит из трёх отделов: Стрежевской, Колпашевский и Томский.

6 июня 2011 года в должность директора ООО «Авиакомпания "Томск Авиа"» вступил Марьенкин Виктор Васильевич.

Приказом Росавиации от 17.04.2015 № 214 О приостановлении действия сертификата эксплуатанта № 494 ООО "Авиакомпания «Томск Авиа» приостанавливает свою деятельность.
17 июля 2015 года сертификат эксплуатанта № 494 аннулирован.

Флот
 Ан-24РВ — 6 самолётов.
 Ан-26 — 2 самолёт.
 Ми-8 — 20 вертолётов.

This time I got caught up earlier than usual–couldn't even finish my Game of Thrones reviews. Should find my way out eventually, and start up blogging again–as well as answering some comments. In the meantime, remember, think happy thoughts. Cuz it's a real good thing Anthony did! It's a real good thing!

WATCH Blistering heat wave hits Western Europe
Europe is set to suffer from an early summer heat wave over the next five days, starting Wednesday, with record temperatures topping 100 degrees in Spain and France.

A Spanish weather forecaster tweeted "Hell is coming!" while showing a map of Spain turning dark red.
Meteorologists have said that the episode is due to scorching-hot air blowing in from the Sahara desert.
Climate experts have said that such heat waves early in the summer are likely to become more frequent as the planet heats up.

Members of the clergy hold umbrellas ahead of the general audience in St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican, June 26, 2019.
Climatologist Robert Vautard told the French newspaper Le Monde that "in recent years, heat waves are estimated to be at least four to 10 times more likely due to climate change".
In France, 78 provinces were placed on an orange high alert -- the second-most serious warning level after red. In Paris, where the World Cup is taking place this week, fans and Parisians are being inundated with health warnings.

Fearing the smog that Paris is especially prone to during stretches of hot weather, city authorities have banned older models of diesel and petrol cars from the city on Wednesday. Parisian drivers are also being offered free parking places to encourage them to use public transportation instead.

Crystal Dunn of United States looks for the opening against Mexico team defenders during the International Friendly match as part of the Send Off Series prior to the FIFA Women's World Cup, May 26 2019, in Harrison, N.J.
As part of its emergency heat plan, the city opened 34 cool rooms in public facilities with air conditioning, and a hotline for elderly or vulnerable people who need assistance reaching their nearest public cool room. Eighteen public parks will stay open 24/7. Many public pools and the pond of the Bassin de la Villette will be open to swimmers until 10:30 pm each evening this week.
Authorities are taking no chances in France, where a heatwave in August 2003 was blamed for 15,000 deaths. In an unusual move, French education minister Jean-Michel Blanquer on Monday postponed national school exams to next week. Fifty-one schools in the region around Paris were already closed for the day by midday Wednesday, and more are expected to close this week.

The heat wave is gripping France as the French Parliament hotly debates new legislation on energy and climate, which has been heavily criticized by opponents for not being ambitious enough. The bill aims to turn France carbon neutral by 2050 but postpones for ten years the former goal to cut the nation's nuclear energy use by half.

In Germany, more than 16 acres of forest in Grunewald near Berlin fell victim to fire on Tuesday. Authorities also fear car tires exploding from the heat on the road, and have imposed new speed limits on drivers on Germany's famously speed-limit free motorways.
In Lithuania, six people drowned seeking relief from record heat in rivers and lakes in the north of the country.
The heat wave is set to affect all of western Europe, particularly France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The highest temperatures are expected on Thursday and Friday.

The Morning Joe panel had a lot to say about Vice-President Mike Pence repeatedly denying having any knowledge of President Donald Trump's scandals.
After being asked by a reporter in Japan to comment on the domestic violence scandal plaguing the White House this week, Pence avoided the questions, including one about whether he is just being kept out of the loop since he often claims that he didn't know about a scandal when one comes up.
Indeed, there have been several occasions when Pence has denied knowing about a scandal, including former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn talking to Russian officials about sanctions during the transition even though Pence was the leader of the transition team.
Pence claimed that he only found out about months later in March 2017.
Documents reveal that Flynn told the transition team that he was going to be making calls to Russian officials, but Pence has denied having any knowledge of it. Again, Pence was the leader of the transition team. It's difficult to fathom how he could not possibly know about this stuff.
It turns out that even senior staffers under Pence knew about the domestic violence scandal.
The panelists on MSNBCs Morning Joe had a field day with the denials.
Mike Barnicle joked that everyone should cut Pence some slack since he is probably "running his own transition team" a reference to the possible impeachment of Trump if the Russia investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller charges him with obstruction and conspiracy. If that were to occur, Pence would become the next president.
GOP strategist Susan Del Percio pointed out that the relationship between Trump and Pence is the "polar opposite of the one between former President Barack Obama and former Vice-President Joe Biden. Obama kept Biden in the loop whereas Trump apparently doesn't respect Pence enough to keep him informed on what's going on.
It's either that or Pence is lying because it's hard to believe the second-most powerful person in the White House has no clue what's going on.
Credibility is important if a politician wants to survive scandals that arise. But Pence's repeated denials hurt his credibility. It makes people wonder if he's lying or if he's just simply bad at his job.
Either way, it doesn't make him the best choice to replace Trump should he be impeached.


There really is nothing better than fresh corn on the BBQ. The smell of corn grilling away always makes us hungry (and makes our neighbours envious!). Our Mexican Street Corn is a show-stopping dish when it comes to smell, look, and taste. This corn is so simple to make ,and with a little added flair, your friends and family are sure to want more.
Barbecuing corn while they're in the husk gives them an extra smoky flavour, while bringing out their sweetness. Topped with a sprinkle of paprika, Cashew Parmesan and a drizzle of our Chili Lime Sauce is the perfect combination. This dish is perfect for a BBQ with friends and family, as a side dish to your Monday night dinner, or as a snack to eat on the weekends.
Before you place the corn on the BBQ make sure to cut off the brown frilly ends so you're only left with the green husk. Don't skip this step as the frilly pieces will catch fire! Trust us, we know from first hand experience.
If you're shopping for corn in the off season and can't find it in the husk, don't worry! Husked corn will work just as well. Place each piece of corn on a sheet of aluminium foil, brush with margarine, and sprinkle with salt, wrap up and place on the grill. The timing will still be roughly 15 to 20 minutes to fully cook, and your corn will be ready to garnish. Skip the margarine and salt step in the recipe and go directly to the paprika, parmesan and Chili Lime Sauce Drizzle.
Throw these on the BBQ alongside our Chickpea Burgers partake in the best part of summer – eating!
Turn on BBQ to a medium-high heat.
In a small bowl whisk together the vegan mayo, lime juice, dijon mustard, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Place in the fridge to help the sauce thicken up slightly.
Once the BBQ is hot, place the corn (in their husks) on the BBQ.
Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the corn becomes tender, flipping once halfway through. Ensure the brown frilly ends have been cut off as they will catch on fire!
Remove the corn from the BBQ and allow corn to cool for a minute before removing from the husks.
Brush each corn with margarine, and sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
Place the corn on a serving platter and sprinkle with the paprika and parmesean.
Drizzle on the Chili Lime Mayo, serve and enjoy. If the Chili Lime Mayo is a little bit to thick, add ½ teaspoon water at a time and whisk to thin out slightly.

Anna is 10 years old and has been coming to The Donna Louise for 6 years after having a kidney transplant at Birmingham Children's Hospital. Her family were introduced to The Donna Louise when Anna started Pertitoneal Dialysis at home and the care team supported them by spending time with Anna days after her transplant.
She comes for respite and day care and accesses counselling and art therapy with Kevin, our Art Therapist. One of her favourite things to do is music therapy with Phil; she has found a love of the drums and even has a set at her Gran's house now!
Anna has Juvenile Nephritis, hypermobility and Scoliosis. Life is full of doctors' appointments and medicine. Coming to the hospice gives Anna a chance to get some peace and quiet; she likes to come alone and spend time doing the activities she enjoys; she says "It's like a little holiday"
Anna's mum and dad explain that the family had reservations when they were first referred. Anna's grandma, who gave her granddaughter a kidney for the transplant, was not keen on the idea at all. Mum, Lisa, explains "Anna's grandma said that she did not want her to go to The Donna Louise after her transplant, she said that she could go to stay at her house, which of course she could not, but we did not know what the hospice was, and what sort of a place it was, once Anna came here we realised that it is not what you would expect at all. It's just like a house, a normal place surrounded by other houses, shops and a playground; it's really tranquil and it gives us somewhere calm as life is such a whirlwind."
Ella and Scott, Anna's sister and brother are able to access the sibling service. Ella loves to use the playground and she says that "It's a special place." Scott plays on the X-Box in the teenage lounge, he has also been on a sibling trip to Alton Towers. A few months before Scott started high school, the family found out that Anna was in Renal failure and she began Dialysis just as he started high school. Scott explains that it was a really difficult time but that he benefited from the sibling activities, "The sibling group is a chance to have a day for me, and to forget about Anna's condition. We don't talk about our poorly siblings when we are out, we just enjoy the time away and that we can do normal things"
Dad, Nathan, explains that whilst Anna is enjoying respite at the hospice, it allows them to spend time with their other 2 children, "It makes a massive difference, we can spend time with Ella and Scott and do normal things with them; and it is less about Anna, as her condition is very time-consuming and means that we can't always give Ella and Scott attention."
Lisa also explains that they value the all-round support they get and not just the health care, for example Angela, the Social Worker, has supported them with Anna's Educational Healthcare Plan.
The family come to The Donna Louise as often as they can and Lisa says, "It's a calming and relaxing place, it gives us a normal life back away from doctors and medicine. It allows us to be parents, and not just carers."

Astronomers tell us that over the course of its lifetime the Sun has burned ever more brightly. Not only have they been able to make a solid case for this increase in luminosity, but they are also able to tell us by how much. During the last 4.5 billion years the Sun's luminosity has increased by about 25 percent. As there is no palaeo-luminosity proxy, this result is based on how the Sun produces energy.

Srinagar: Deputy Mayor Srinagar, Sheikh Mohammad Imran on Sunday some media sections of media are issuing sermons from AC studios without knowing the facts.
He reiterated his appeal to Kashmiri youth for using prefix Mujahid in front of their names and it will best answer to respond to so-called Chowkidars.
Addressing the media at Clock Tower Lal Chowk, Imran said 'Mujahid' means one who is engaged in Jihad and a protector who strikes against evil and advocates truthfulness.
"Unfortunately some sections of media are misinterpreting meanings of Mujahid and Jihad in their own ways, he said urging them to check meaning of Mujahid, Jihad and other Islamic terms from reliable sources, not for RSS dictionaries," Imran said.
He said the meaning of Jihad is the same as it was earlier and will not be changed until the Day of Judgment.
Imran challenged Chowkidar's to come out of their security zones and prove if they are real Chowkidar's. It needs courage but they (Chowkidar's) didn't have that, he said.
"Every Muslim should be 'Mujahid' and there is no harm in using this prefix. Jihad is a spiritual fight against the enemy. It is being misinterpreted by some sections of media," he said.
The deputy mayor in a statement said the youth of Kashmir will not tolerate misinterpretation of facts regarding their Islam.
"We are not terrorists. Mujahid in no way related to any kind of terrorism," Imran said it is not publicity trend but they have been but a bitter truth.
"If it would be a publicity trend, I would have been begging for votes. The move will only be to respond Chowkidar's and they should accept without making further controversies," Imran said.
"The trend has started from Kashmir's heart Lal Chowk and it will reach to every nook and corner of Kashmir," Imran said.
He urged youth of valley that they should prefix Mujahid and it will best reply to communal forces.

Hassan Mohammed Allan (1903 – 3 January 1976) was one of the pioneers of modern construction in Egypt.

Early life and career
Hassan Allam was born in Port Said and subsequently moved to the Upper Egyptian town of Al Minya with his family. His father owned a small shop that sold construction materials including tiles and ceramics imported from Great Britain. Allam attended primary school but did not continue his education, joining his father's business instead.

In 1924 at the age of 19, he immigrated to Cairo where he formed a small informal contracting outfit. In 1936, he founded Hassan Mohammed Allam & Co. for General Contracting - a limited partnership company. Despite having received no formal education in the field of construction, his managerial and technical expertise were substantial. He was also widely popular with construction labourers and engineers.

First major contracts

In 1938, King Farouk was on his way to Ismalia when he was injured in a car accident and was whisked to the nearby village of Kassassin to be treated in a small medical facility. As a result of the incident, the King ordered that a hospital be built in the area. Hassan Allam thus landed his first major contract and El Kassaseen Hospital was built on the Cairo-to-Ismaïlia agricultural road. Other early contracts included the Mebara hospital in Port Said, a power station in Damanhur, and the first Egyptian oil refinery in Suez. His firm was beginning to seriously compete with El Abd Pasha, Ahmad Bakir (a road contractor) and Ali Ibrahim Pasha (whose work include the Television Building and the Tahrir Office Complex in Cairo). Eventually the company became one of the largest in the construction field in the country together with Osman Ahmad Osman's Arab Contractors Co.

An unknowing early supporter of Anwar el-Sadat

Allam unknowingly protected Anwar el-Sadat in his early years. In the 1940s, Sadat in an effort to evade political persecution, disguised himself as a truck driver and took a job in Hassan Allam's company. Sadat later became the third president of Egypt.

Adjusting to political change over the years

After the 1952 revolution, the company continued to thrive and executed a number of major roads such as the Ismalia-Al 'Arish, Suez-Marsa Alam, and Alexandria-Marsa Matruh highways. Many projects were also completed in Port Said that included a large cathedral and a mosque. Prior to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the company was in charge of building a new community for the Nubian people whose villages lay in the area that was later to become Lake Nasser.

In 1961, the company was nationalized under President Gamal Abdel Nasser's new socialist policies to become Nasr General Contracting - Hassan Mohammed Allam with Hassan Allam losing ownership and becoming its general manager.

In 1975, taking advantage of the Infitah or open-door policies adopted by President Anwar el-Sadat's government, he established his second company - Hassan Allam Sons. Shortly after, the new company submitted a bid for building a large sewage network in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. However Hassan Allam did not live to see the result of the bid. His funeral was held at the Omar Makram Mosque in Tahrir Square and was attended by thousands of mourners. The crowd extended from the mosque almost up to the Ramesses Hilton.

There are currently two streets named after Hassan Allam; one in the Heliopolis district and the other in Downtown Cairo.
