The overall goal of the two days of workshop collaborations is to produce a report that clearly outlines the short-, mid- and long-term theoretical, analytical and computational needs of systems microbiology projects. Specifically, we will develop a roadmap towards Facility IV: Analysis and Modeling of Cellular Systems. This workshop complements the modeling and simulation workshop hosted by ORNL, PNNL, OBER and OASCR in July. The GTL and Beyond workshop will benefit from the results of the July meeting, and we will expand the scope to address the biological needs driving Facility IV and systems biology.
The mission of Facility IV is to be the integrative facility for understanding cellular physiology and population dynamics, and it is the closest Facility in spirit and operation to the existing GTL projects. Thus, the first day will be dedicated to understanding the current and growing needs of the GTL projects. This workshop will specifically address the management, curation and distribution of data and results, the need for determining how the results work together with the other GTL projects and the shaping of the facilities to meet the communitys needs. The current GTL leaders attending the Day 1 workshop will provide practical, experienced advice to the workshop on Day 2 in addition to defining near term need for data standardization, data sharing, analysis, and centralization.
The second day will be opened to the larger community in which we will discuss methods for progressing from individual GTL projects to the larger Facility plan. In particular, issues to be addressed are: the design of a systems biology facility like Facility IV; requirements of facility-like capabilities and services; the facilitys impact on the practice of experimental and practical systems microbiology and applied microbiology; the development and deployment of these services; and the open theoretical, computational and experimental challenges that need to be met for such efforts to be successful.
Throughout the workshops, a professional note-taker will be present to compile the minutes of the meetings, and a captain will be charged with creating a power point summary of each section. At the end of the workshop, groups will be charged with writing short sections of a meeting report to guide development of computational and systems biology facilities such as Facility IV and the data management/analysis/serving pieces of the other three facilities.
The purpose of this first workshop is for the current GTL performers to collate what they have learned about performing large scale systems microbiology projects in regards to experimental design, laboratory information management, data management, data analysis and modeling. Each project will be expected to present two slides outlining their current means of generating, organizing, analyzing and deducing models from their data (if appropriate) and what the scale of this operation is projected to be in the next few years. The near term needs for data standard, data sharing and data analysis will be identified. The group will then split up to develop focused recommendations on the data management, bioinformatics and data analysis, and experimental designs, for systems biology and modeling. Leaders of these groups will return to present their conclusions to the workshop and then these notes will be combined into a presentation for day 2.
Talk 1: What is Systems Biology? What is necessary before models become the dominant activity?
Talk2 : Data management, Analysis and Publication. How should data from these projects be captured and preserved? Is there a network effect to combining and serving GTL results?
(Multicellular) Network analysis: From regulatory networks to populations- experimental designs to interaction with data and models.
3:30 p.m. Discussion of action items: Should there be a scientific face for the GTL program where data and results are systematized and served? How do we work together to accomplish this or ensure other means of preserving, synergizing and publicizing results from the projects and beyond? What do we see as the role of all four facilities in serving the current GTL needs?
On this day of the workshop the wide community of invitees spanning the National Laboratories, academia, industry and representatives from the DOE, will meet to assess the needs of the applied and environmental microbiology community that will drive Facility IV: analysis and modeling of cellular systems. We will define the capabilities and services that will be needed by the community that are best served by location in a large Facility, describe the operation of the Facility both in research and service, and provide a detailed outline of the technological needs and challenges that such a Facility will face.
The day will start with a summary of the current thinking at DOE on Facility IV and related problems in computation. We will include a summary of the July workshop and a summary of day 1. The first focused workshop talk will aim at coming to a consensus on the biological drivers for Facility IV efforts. A roundtable discussion will then be led to integrate these biological needs what experimental designs are becoming most useful in this multiscale systems biology and what experimental needs do not yet have the best high-value high-throughput designs. The second round table will define the data management, data analytical and modeling technologies that are most proven, most promising and most needed. Both groups will outline outstanding challenges in the area. The workshop will then split into two working groups that will write the outline of the report one focusing on biological planning and the other on computational planning. Finally the groups will come together to discuss the interaction between the two planning activities and to plan for the production of an integrated Facility IV report.
We welcome suggestions for other invitees and comments on the program are also welcome.

Businesses have to ensure their employees are properly trained on the functions and processes of the organization. Often, training employees on in-house policies and procedures is something that can be done quite easily during an induction period. However, when people have to be trained for more complex situations, such as handling sophisticated equipment, dealing with disasters, and so on, then it is important to have formalized training in place. Thanks to modern technology, virtual training is now an option to consider for this.
Expensive devices and machines can only be operated by skilled personnel. However, to become skilled personnel, it is important that people are able to practice on a machine. And fortunately, with it being so delicate and expensive, a small mistake could cost a lot of money. With virtual training, employees are provided with a fantastic tool that will train them fully on the actual machinery without having to touch it. Instead, they can be tested until it is determined they have the capability to use the real deal.
Everybody is living under the constant threat of emergencies, disasters, and wars. It is vital, therefore, that people are prepared for this but doing so would mean they have to actually experience it. To achieve this, emergency response organizations have traditionally organized training events in which they have to deal with disaster scenarios. This is incredibly expensive and the simulated environment does not allow for different contingencies and options. With virtual training, however, far more people can be trained on a range of different disaster scenarios while testing out different outcomes and actions as well.
Virtual training solutions can be used in a variety of situations, ranging from the construction industry to Medical Solutions. In fact, overtime, it has been proven that virtual training is one of the best alternative is available to enable people to learn and to be assessed on their new skills. In fact, over recent years, no other training system has been found to be that compliant with industry standards. It allows people to test real life skills in real life situations without exposing themselves, others, or property to the associated risks with those actual real life disasters.
Best of all, virtual training is highly cost-effective. No longer do businesses have to pay for a tutor who is limited to the number of people that can attend the training. Rather, they purchase a program that as many employees as they like can access. The training can also be used again and again, which means it does not require ongoing payments or costs, other than perhaps the cost to update if no information has been discovered that is relevant to this particular training. Last but not least, it saves productive time as employees can take part in the training as and when convenient to them, rather than during business hours.

On the morning of Sunday, February 21, 1971, a surface low was over Central Texas near Waco. The low had caused severe weather overnight in the Hill Country. A warm front extended east from the low across northern Louisiana, Central Mississippi and into Alabama. South of the boundary, winds were southerly and dewpoints were in the middle 60s at moist air surged northward. At Jackson, Mississippi, thunderstorms were occurring with a temperature of 68F and a dew point of 66F. At New Orleans, it was 71F over 67F. In the upper atmosphere, a highly amplified pattern was in place across the U.S. with a huge full latitude trough extending from North Dakota to New Mexico. The trough was progressing eastward. Ahead of it, a diffluent pattern aloft was in place over the Lower Mississippi Valley. This upper divergence would be a key factor in a significant tornado outbreak. At the National Weather Service in Jackson, forecasters knew it was going to be a bad day. But Sundays in Mississippi were a sleepy time. Forecasts and statements highlighted the threat, but radio stations were broadcasting recorded programs. Most didn't have a NOAA Weather Wire teletype drop anyway. Some had the Associated Press wire. The news departments in most television stations were not staffed. There was no NOAA Weather Radio. By early afternoon, sunshine had driven surface temperatures to near 80 degrees across the Mississippi Delta. Instabilities were sky high and the diffluent pattern aloft made for an explosive situation. Just before 3 p.m. CST, an F5 tornado touched down near Delhi, Louisiana. It roared northeast, crossing the Mississippi River into Mississippi. Eleven people died in Louisiana, and another thirty six in Mississippi. The town of Inverness was completely obliterated. Twenty one people died there. Around 4 p.m., a family of tornadoes started in Issaquena County, Mississippi. It would produce damage along a 160 mile path

all the way to north of Oxford. F4 damage was caused along much of the path. The town of Cary was destroyed and eleven people died in the area. A total of fifty eight fatalities were reported with these tornadoes. Thirteen people died in an F4 tornado that cut a 70 mile path of destruction through Warren, Yazoo and Holmes County. A total of 121 fatalities were reported in Mississippi and Louisiana, making it one of the deadliest tornadoes outbreaks in United States history. Alabama got lucky in this outbreak, as the storms pushed across the state during the overnight hours, when instability was lower.

David Corn's May 30, 2002, "Capital Games" article, "The 9/11 X-Files," debunking what he saw as the numerous conspiracy theories that have sprung up purporting to explain what happened on September 11, generated numerous letters. We've printed five of them below along with a response from Corn.
David Corn alleges that our book makes a "theory" of the events leading up to the September 11 attacks, distorts reality and shows little or no evidence to confirm our assertions.
For the author, the world seems divided between those gallant fellows pursuing the truth (David Corn, I guess) and those running conspiracy theories. This simplistic and Manichean view does not reflect the nature of our work and would usually deserve no comment from me, except when such an irrelevant article emanates from such a well-known organization.
Regarding the handling of investigations involving Saudi Arabian individuals and entities, I spent five years working on these networks and tracking Al Qaeda assets. I was the first to write an extensive report on Al Qaeda financial networks for the intelligence community. This study was given by the French President Jacques Chirac to President George W. Bush in September 2001 and has been responsible for the closing of several so-called Islamic charities that happened to financially support Osama bin Laden and his cohorts. My experience and the high level contacts I had with the FBI disqualifies the doubts and snide comments made by a nonprofessional on these issues.
For your information, I'll try to establish the reality of what we wrote.
Since 1996, and despite the Taliban's murderous regime and its obscene abuse of human rights, several US oil companies including Unocal have been pushing for a political stabilization in Afghanistan in order to implement an oil/gas pipeline from the Caspian Sea region to Pakistan and the Persian Gulf through Afghanistan. For that purpose, a memorandum of understanding between the governments of Turkmenistan and Pakistan was signed in March 1995 and a consortium of international companies was formed in October 1997.
In November 1997 Unocal invited a Taliban delegation to the United States in Texas, and in early December the company opened a training center at the University of Omaha, Nebraska, to instruct 137 Afghans in pipeline construction technology. The company also donated $900,000 to the Center for Afghanistan Studies of the University of Omaha, Nebraska, for a humanitarian project controlled by the Taliban. As recalled John Imle, CEO of Unocal, the company spent between $15 million and $20 million to make the CentGas Project go through to promote the project and finance the regime.
After the African embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in August 1998, the US Administration engaged in talks with Taliban representatives to obtain the extradition of Osama bin Laden in exchange for international recognition of the Taliban regime. At the international level, pressure was building up through a forum known as the "6 + 2" initiative (six regional states plus the United States and Russia). A United Nations resolution called for international sanctions against the Taliban regime. In parallel, secret negotiations were held in Rome, Cyprus and Berlin under the authority of Kofi Annan's personal representative and head of the Special Mission to Afghanistan, Francesc Vendrell.
From February to August 2001, the US Administration accelerated the negotiations by reactivating the idea of an economic bargain with the Taliban regime. In March 2001, several Taliban officials, including Sayed Rahmattulah Hashimi, Mullah Omar's personal adviser, were invited to Washington, DC, by their representative in the United States, former CIA Director Richard Helms's niece, Leila Helms, to discuss extradition of bin Laden and access to oil reserves in Central Asia. The delegation met with representatives of the Directorate of Central Intelligence (DCI) and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the State Department (including Marvin Weinbaum).
During informal talks that took place in Berlin between July 17 and July 20, 2001, with representatives from the United States, Pakistan (who were relaying messages back to the Taliban, who were not in attendance), Russia and Iran, the Taliban were invited to extradite Osama bin Laden and form a broad-based national government in exchange for economic subsidies from the construction of a pipeline.
The delegates included Robert Oakley, former US ambassador and Unocal lobbyist; Niaz Naik, former foreign minister of Pakistan; Tom Simons, former US ambassador to Pakistan; a former Russian special envoy to Afghanistan, Nikolai Kozyrev; and Saeed Rajai Khorassani, formerly the Iranian representative to the UN.
The US delegation at the Berlin meeting also included Karl "Rick" Inderfurth, former assistant secretary of state for South Asian affairs, and Lee Coldren, head of the Office of Pakistan, Afghan and Bangladesh Affairs in the State Department until 1997.
According to Niaz Naik, the idea was that "we would try to convey to them that if they did certain things, then, gradually, they could win the jackpot, get something in return from the international community." It might, he said, "be possible to persuade the Taliban that once a broader-based government was in place and the oil pipeline under way, there would be billions of dollars in commission, and the Taliban would have their own resources." The fact is, the United States approached the former king in February 2001 in order to form a broad-based government.
Whether we rely on Niaz Naik's testimony or on the US ambassador's comments, which don't contradict or deny the former, one has to focus on the Pakistani and Taliban representatives' knowledge regarding that statement. It is clear that at the beginning of July 2001, a US representative, speaking at an informal meeting, but mandated by his government to do so, did, in specific or general terms, whether mischievously or not, whether drunk or not, evoke the option of a military operation against Afghanistan. And I would rather rely on Simons's version in Le Monde than on the paraphrased one Simons offers to David Corn.
I wouldn't speculate on whether the Taliban regime and its Al Qaeda supporter may have tried to anticipate a military action against them by launching a devastating attack on US soil on September 11, 2001. Neither would I suggest a gross miscalculation from Ambassador Simons by making such hazardous statements. However, the US representative's statement is acknowledged by several reliable sources and participants at the Berlin negotiations at the end of July 2001. For this reason, and because it may have been interpreted as a tug of war, this threat is an important aspect for our understanding of the months leading to September 11, which may have had a significant if not essential impact on the intelligence analysis process prior to that date.
One may ask the simple question, Would the US intelligence agencies have evaluated the fragmented raw intelligence and signals differently if the US government had informed them that the United States had threatened military action if the Taliban were to refuse US diplomatic and business concessions five weeks before the attacks?
As a drunk diplomat makes bad diplomacy, political editors make bad international affairs analysts when they simply ignore the facts and try to view the world through their Manichean eyes.
I hope, at least, to have repaired this.
I am truly honored to join the ranks of Peter Dale Scott, PhD, Alfred McCoy, PhD and Pulitzer Prize-winner Gary Webb as someone who has been attacked by The Nation.
Your latest missive is surprising for its weakness. It deserves only the briefest of responses because, as an avalanche of information continues to demonstrate, the US government did have foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks and there was an orchestrated effort to allow the attacks to occur. FBI Special Agent Robert Wright's recent press conference is but another brick in a wall that grows sturdier by the day. Time is on my side here.
I'll quickly pass over many of the erroneous points in your story to get to just a couple that warrant two or three sentences. Allen Dulles's old quip that "the American people don't read" has changed with the Internet and it will afford you no cover.
It's OK that you misrepresented my LAPD record by taking items completely out of context. My full LAPD record has been on my website for months at www.fromthewilderness.com for the world to look at and see what you have done. I expect that from you.
It's OK that you misrepresent and state that I have hung the entirety of my credibility on the Delmart "Mike" Vreeland case. I have published fifty-six stories since September 11, 2001, and only six of them have been about Mike Vreeland. I expect that as well.
It's OK that you state that I am not a reporter when you fail to mention stories like my investigative report of horrendous conflicts of interest regarding Attorney General John Ashcroft and two sitting federal grand juries where I conducted many interviews. It's OK also that you ignore all of the other reportage I have done since September 11. I expect that too.
Is this the best that The Nation can do? With that in mind I'll conclude by saying that it is becoming increasingly clear to news consumers around the world that The Nation is serving and defending the interests of a corrupt and illegitimate government while my publication, "From the Wilderness," is truly concerned with the safety, well-being and empowerment of its growing readership. The marketplace is operating in a healthy capacity. It is also apparent that your actual knowledge of how covert operations work is as limited as your forensic abilities. For more than twenty years I have investigated many intelligence cases and I have dealt directly with principals in cases involving Edwin Wilson, Albert Carone, Dois "Chip" Tatum, William Tyree, "Bo" Gritz, Scott Weekly, Scott Barnes, Al Martin and, yes, even your beloved Ted Shackley.
In the fall of 1999 two investigators from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence traveled to Los Angeles and copied 6,000 pages of my records. In the fall of 2000 two members of the RCMP National Security Staff–Sean McDade and Randy Buffam–came to Los Angeles, visited me and copied several hundred pages of files in my possession regarding Promis software.
The Nation's David Corn spends too much time bashing Michael Ruppert in his article "The September 11 X-Files" instead of objectively investigating the content of Ruppert's contentions on www.copvcia.com. We as a nation spent countless hours witnessing analysis and investigation after investigation regarding Clinton and Lewinsky. Now as people raise legitimate questions about pre-September 11 foreknowledge and the potential interests that may have encouraged collusion to do nothing, they are quickly labeled conspiracists, nut cases and the like.
David Corn belittled conspiracy theorists and wondered how such an unwieldy, undisciplined government could get away with encouraging or staging attacks on this country.
Well, for part of the answer, get thee to the George Washington University website and download the file at this address: www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf.
It's a National Security Archive document from 1962 describing Operation Northwoods, a Joint Chiefs of Staff proposal to stage phony attacks on US soil and citizens in order to set up a rationale for invading Cuba. Can anyone say "conspiracy"? Can anyone say "at the highest levels of government"? Arguably, men of such ilk whose plans ultimately were shunned by a young, bemused President could also have engaged in other, later plots. Say it with me: Lee Harvey Oswald.
So how can Corn assume that, forty years later, our government is not at least as well equipped to twist facts, finger the wrong people or take advantage of wag-the-dog scenarios? That's what intelligence entities are professionally qualified to do! Is it not understood that this government has in the not-very-distant past sent out agents provocateurs? We know from declassified documents that the FBI used to infiltrate domestic radical groups and encourage violence, not to mention smear the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. Why assume this modus operandi disappeared in the 1970s just because Congress ordered it? Say it with me: Bill Casey.
I'm not saying the US government staged the September 11 attacks. But it strikes me as being within the bounds of rationality to consider such theories with care. After all, our intelligence agencies–not to mention certain political parties–also appear adept at marginalizing presumed nutballs, fringe groups, liberals and, for that matter, anyone who could be called a doubter.
I've read Corn's article twice. I still don't understand why he's just dismissing all these analyses that have been made as conspiracy theories. Especially knowing what has happened since all of the information about prior knowledge has been released. People like Mike Ruppert or Representative McKinney have been talking about this long before the mainstream media picked it up. I think that he's acting in the same totalitarian way that he's denouncing. He could have done a better job by exposing his own opinion and trying to give his own interpretation of the numerous and astonishing security failures. A few years ago, there were some terrorist attacks in Russia. It was just before Putin's election. A lot of people, and not only crazy conspiracy theorists, said that it was probably managed by Putin's circle. This idea appeared, for example, in your September 6/13, 1999 issue (selected editorial): "Among the measures widely discussed in Moscow are using the war in Dagestan as a pretext for imposing emergency rule." I wonder if the guy who wrote this was a member of Putin's inner circle or just a conspiracy theorist? By Corn's criteria, he shouldn't have said this. Did he say it because Russia is just a quasi Third World country? In the same way, I'm also wondering if the biggest shortcoming with the actual theories isn't the fact that they're giving a really bad image of the "best democracy in the word," and in this way a negative image of those who have to live there. In other words, these kinds of "this cannot happen in Washington" assertions should only be understood as a patriotic reaction to the tragedy of September 11. God bless America.
Let's start with Jean-Charles Brisard. I am going to resist the urge to match his ad hominen repartee. The only issue in play is the credibility of Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth, the book he co-wrote with Guillaume Dasquié. When I began work on a piece about September 11 conspiracy theories, an editor at The Nation requested I include in my survey the Brisard/Dasquié book, which was first published in France (in their native French) and which had prompted a rash of have-you-heard-about-this e-mails among Americans and others questioning the official accounts of September 11. From the e-mails and from English-language web accounts of the book–several of which were based on interviews with the authors–it was hard to determine the precise details of their claims regarding the horrific attacks of September 11. Then I discovered that a publishing house in the United States was bringing out an English version of the book, and I was able to obtain a copy of the translated manuscript. That meant I could evaluate the work and not rely on secondhand accounts.
Upon receiving the English translation of the short book, I eagerly began reading. Within a matter of pages, I was stunned. The book was almost entirely unsourced. It contained multiple factual mistakes. (It claimed George Bush was once "in charge" of Harken Energy; he was not. It maintained George Bush I was a "leading investor" in the Carlyle Group, an investment firm. No, he was a paid advisor. It described Tom Simons as US ambassador to Pakistan in 2000. He had left the post two years previously.) More important, it presented suggestive innuendo rather than clear and irrefutable evidence. It referred to "policy-makers" and "officials" without naming them; it depicted policy decisions in vague terms, without supplying specifics. The authors conveyed no sense that they had interviewed any single player in their tale. (There were not even anonymous sources. After a while, I prayed to encounter "a State Department official who asked not to be named" or a "Western diplomat who requested anonymity.") This will sound like hyperbole, but I have rarely seen such shoddy and lazy journalism.
Ponder that statement. The authors are saying that negotiations–which they portray as secret talks between Washington and Kabul–led to the strikes of September 11. That would mean US Administration officials– mainly from the Bush White House but also, it seems, from the Clinton White House–share blame for the attacks, that the United States, via these talks, needlessly provoked Osama bin Laden and his crew. This is hot stuff: The Bush Administration, driven by its fealty to Big Oil, causing the deaths of thousands of Americans.
Such an unsettling challenge to the traditional view requires a heavy amount of persuasion and proof. But the authors commit two fundamental errors. They make an utterly illogical case and in those few instances when they bother to cite sources, they misrepresent the material. Much of the book cannot be evaluated, because the authors assert, rather than document–and they supply little reason why a reader should trust them. Brisard and Dasquié never establish the foundations of their argument–in particular, that there were secret negotiations between the United States and the Taliban. They refer to various international and bilateral conversations–many of which were public matters–and cast all of that as under-the-table diplomacy. The "secret negotiations" held under the authority of Kofi Annan's representative (that Brisard mentions in his letter above) could be read about in reports found on the United Nations website. And when Brisard darkly refers to conversations between Washington and the Taliban regarding the extradition of bin Laden–conversations that he and his co-author do not fully describe–the question for him is, So what? After the bombing of two US embassies in Africa, shouldn't Washington have pressed the Taliban to turn over bin Laden? After all, in other sections of the book, the authors claim Washington was not sufficiently forceful in its pursuit of bin Laden.
A careful reader might discern that Brisard does not directly confront the case I made against his book. In the translation I read, he and Dasquié claim that the United States and its allies, as part of their secret machinations, plotted to return the exiled king of Afghanistan to power and that the "secret talks" culminated with the United States in July 2001 threatening the Taliban with a military strike. To prove the first of these two points, the authors cite a UN report. But that nonsecret report only says that Annan's special representative on Afghanistan, Francesc Vendrell, met with the former king to discuss bringing together in-country and exiled Afghans for an effort to settle peacefully the political and military strife within Afghanistan. There is no indication that either the UN or the United States were arranging the king's restoration. The authors, with little evidence in hand, defame a laudable UN initiative and grossly misrepresent one of its documents.
By the way, in the same part of the book, the authors report that on June 1, 2001, "a secret meeting took place on the subject of Afghanistan. It was attended by Condoleezza Rice, Christina Rocca [a US State Department official], and Francesc Vendrell, as well as British observers." The source for this? The aforementioned UN report. But if you download this report from the web–as I did–you will find that the document (a routine report submitted by Annan) clearly notes that Vendrell met with Rocca "as well as other senior officials in the State Department and in the National Security Council" on this day. That is, there was nothing "secret" about the session. The authors, though, go out of their way to render a meeting acknowledged by the UN as something clandestine–and without revealing what horrible things were supposedly said during the gathering. This is their MO. Turn public meetings into secret plot-fests. Hint, nod and wink. Assert, rather than confirm. Characterize, instead of quote directly. They weave a web of deceit out of thin (at best) material.
Back to the business of the US threat against the Taliban. The authors claim this threat was issued during what Brisard calls "informal talks" in July 2001. These talks actually were a series of conferences organized by the UN in 2000 and 2001 to bolster its Special Mission to Afghanistan. The UN had asked former officials from the United States, Pakistan, Russia and other nations to gather every few months to discuss what could be done about the troubles in Afghanistan–a situation most of the world was ignoring at that time.
The authors (citing Niaz Naik, a participant from Pakistan) report that at the July meeting, which was held in Berlin, "the small American delegation mentioned using a 'military option' against the Taliban if they did not agree to change their position, especially concerning Osama bin Laden. Naik recounted that a US official had threatened, 'Either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs.' " But this "American delegation" was made up of past US officials, not present ones. Brisard and Dasquie assume–without proving– that the ex-officials were speaking for the Bush Administration. But there is no reason to believe that.
Brisard tries to slip by, noting that it does not matter whether Naik or Simons is correct in their recollection. In either event, he says, what is important is that "a US representative…evoked the option of a military operation against Afghanistan." This is ludicrous. The two authors have failed to show that the Americans at this meeting were in league with the Bush Administration. And had the American ex-officials said what Simons claims was stated, this could hardly have come as a shock to bin Laden or the Taliban. Surely, the Taliban and bin Laden realized that if bin Laden was firmly linked to the USS Cole operation, the United States was likely to bomb. This is, after all, how Clinton responded to bin Laden's attacks on the US embassies in Africa.
Brisard and Dasquié, though, did not bother to ascertain whether this so-called threat actually affected the actions of the Taliban and bin Laden. They merely maintain that it did. There are so many weak links in their argument. They do not prove there were "secret talks." They do not prove Washington was behind this supposed threat. They do not prove the threat had any impact.
Beyond matters of evidence, their theory makes no sense. Suppose–and it's a large stretch–that their "facts" are true. The "threat" came in July 2001. Would they argue that bin Laden, in response to the threat, quickly began developing the September 11 plan? That would be an absurd assertion. Obviously, bin Laden's scheme was long in the works before July 2001. So what's the other option? That bin Laden, who already was preparing the September 11 strikes, was somehow provoked into greenlighting the attacks by this July 2001 threat? This is equally absurd. Bin Laden had mounted assaults against the USS Cole and the US embassies in Africa; he was connected to the 1993 strike against the World Trade Center. He had declared a holy war against America. He did not require provocation–in the form of a threat from ex-officials–to proceed with his mass murder. Are Brisard and Dasquié claiming that bin Laden was not dedicated to moving ahead with the September 11 mission once planning had begun? This proposition seems indefensible on its face–especially when the authors do not present any evidence as to the thinking and motivations of bin Laden and the Taliban.
To further explore their illogic: In this scenario, what would be the purpose of the September 11 attacks, from the vantage of bin Laden and the Taliban? The operation could not be pre-emptive in the military sense of diminishing the US capacity to hit Afghanistan and Al Qaeda. And if the Taliban and bin Laden were indeed concerned at this point about the threat of US military action, hitting the United States on September 11 would only guarantee that Washington would bomb the hell out of them. It is unbelievable–and unproven in the manuscript–that bin Laden concluded in July 2001 that since the United States was about to attack, he had to strike first with an assault he otherwise would not have launched but that (conveniently) had been in development for a year or two.
As for all the oil business Brisard mentions in the first half of his letter, it is mostly inconsequential. It's no secret that Unocal and other companies were interested in oil and gas in Central Asia and a pipeline in Afghanistan. But note that his examples are pre-1998. That year, Unocal–the company that was pushing the most on this front–gave up on a pipeline in Afghanistan. Were the Clinton and Bush administrations in their "secret talks" with the Taliban pimping for a company no longer looking for a deal? More to the point, at the end of May, the interim government in Kabul announced the revival of the trans-Afghanistan pipeline, but Unocal–the presumed beneficiary of the "secret talks" that supposedly led to September 11–stated it was no longer interested and would not be participating in the project.
There is no denying the Bush crowd wants to help its pals (and contributors) in Big Oil. But did the Bush Administration–and its predecessor–threaten the Taliban and bin Laden on behalf of them and place thousands of Americans at risk? Brisard and Dasquié neither establish their facts nor support their reasoning.
Their book is a crass exploitation of a tragic event. It violates the most modest of journalistic standards. The authors manipulate an awful event into a story to serve a political end–or, perhaps, only to make money for themselves. The book practically justifies the attacks. Which is foul. It says the September 11 assaults were prompted by these "secret negotiations," not bin Laden's jihad or the geopolitical conditions and conflicts that may have fed that jihad. No doubt, anti-Bush partisans and individuals who tend to disbelieve conventional accounts will be drawn to the book. And they will soon have the opportunity to read the English-language version, for it is being published this summer by Thunder's Mouth Press and NationBooks.
What is most notable about Michael Ruppert's response is what he does not address. As Ruppert has asserted that the CIA had "foreknowledge" of the September 11 attacks and that the US government was probably "complicit" in their execution, he has championed the case of Delmart "Mike" Vreeland, an American who was jailed in Canada and who is now fighting extradition to Michigan, where he is wanted on several criminal counts. Vreeland claims he is a US intelligence operative who learned of the attacks months in advance and who, while in prison, wrote a note in mid-August 2001 indicating September 11 was coming. (Actually, Vreeland's tale is far more elaborate and bizarre than this. To get the full flavor, see my original piece.) By combing law enforcement, prison and court records in several states and through interviews with cops across the country and Vreeland's family, I discovered that Vreeland had a long history of con-man activity and had been in and out of jail for years. He was no spy, he was a flim-flammer. Ruppert, tellingly, does not respond to this aspect of the article. I wonder if he still believes Vreeland is a key to solving the September 11 mystery.
Instead of dealing with the revelations about his chief witness, Ruppert refers to my article's "weakness." But he fails to point out specific flaws, except one: my reference to a UPI story written by correspondent Richard Sale. I confess I am slightly baffled by Ruppert's reply. He has drafted a timeline that supposedly proves the CIA knew of September 11 in advance. The chronology is composed of citations to articles written by others. For one item, Ruppert lists a February 13, 2001, UPI article that he says reported "the National Security Agency has broken bin Laden's encrypted communications." My assistant and I searched Lexis-Nexis for this story and found nothing from that date. Instead, we found a February 8 article by Richard Sale reporting that "US hackers have gone into foreign banks accounts and deleted or transferred funds, and jammed or blocked [Al Qaeda's] cell or satellite phones, intelligence officials said." This piece did not seem to indicate that bin Laden's communications had been broken in a manner indicating the United States had been able to gather information about the September 11 plot.
I've looked again–and still cannot find that February 13 article. But, more important, on June 2, 2002, the Washington Post published a piece by James Bamford, a damn-good investigative reporter and author of Body of Secrets: Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency. Bamford writes, "For about two years, until August 1998, NSA was able to eavesdrop on senior al Qaeda communications by monitoring bin Laden's personal satellite phone." Even so, the NSA and the intelligence community did not collect conversations in which bin Laden "discussed specific terrorist activities." In any event, Bamford says the NSA's ability to intercept bin Laden's communications ceased, sadly, in 1998. If there is a Sale story dated February 13 that claims the NSA had broken bin Laden's encrypted communications–and Ruppert seemingly offers quotes from such an article in his letter–it seems to be referring to the pre-1998 period. What, then, is the relevance of this factoid to understanding September 11? If the NSA had eavesdropped back then–and if, as Bamford reports, it picked up few, if any, details–what does that tell us about US intelligence foreknowledge of September 11? Nothing.
I am not defending the US intelligence community. As I have written several times, there is plenty of evidence to suggest the CIA, the FBI and others missed important indications that bin Laden and Al Qaeda were interested in a September 11-type attack. But this is quite different from claiming US intelligence picked up warnings and purposely ignored them. If Ruppert wants to argue that the CIA and the US government were aware in advance that this particular strike was coming, he needs much better evidence than what he offers in his timeline.
Since Ruppert raised the subject of "integrity," allow me to take this opportunity to note that he has countered my criticism of his work by saying, "I have an opinion that David Corn is one of the establishment CIA/FBI operatives who has long been planted within so-called progressive circles." His proof of this? "The primary argument I use for that," Ruppert said in an interview, "is that he was chosen by one of the most venal characters in American history, Ted Shackley–who ran the CIA station in Laos, who overthrew Salvador Allende–to be his chosen biographer." Such a remark ordinarily would deserve no more than a hearty guffaw. But since Ruppert has his followers on the web and within Pacifica radio circles, it is probably worth addressing it in a direct fashion: This is as nutty a charge as I have ever faced. Anyone who read my 1994 book, Blond Ghost, which was highly critical of Shackley and the CIA, would learn that Shackley did not select me to be his biographer and that, to the contrary, he considered me a hostile biographer and for years refused to cooperate. And since I know how Ruppert and some of his believers operate–hey, they would say, Corn never flat-out denied he was a CIA/FBI plant–I will go through this stupid exercise: I am not now nor have I ever been associated with any intelligence service in any capacity whatsoever. And Shackley is hardly my beloved. Only a fool could suggest otherwise.
So the Fed chairman sent a fugitive in Canada–who claims to be a supersecret agent with foreknowledge of September 11 but who has a criminal record stretching almost twenty years–two bottles of poisoned wine? Ruppert takes Vreeland's I-was-poisoned-by-Greenspan claim seriously. That says much about Ruppert.
Jason Thorne is right: "We need to be careful not to simply dismiss alternative views." But those who claim they know the alternative truth have an obligation to present a rock-solid case–especially when they accuse people of permitting or planning the mass murder of their fellow citizens. Ruppert is the one who claims he has proven the CIA knew of September 11 in advance and allowed it to happen. He is the one who says it is likely the US government had a hand in executing the attacks. He is not raising questions. He is making explosive accusations. And anyone who casts such allegations should expect scrutiny. A close look at Ruppert's work shows that he does not evaluate evidence but draws connection between selectively chosen pieces of information (which he does not bother to confirm). This is not investigation. This is data manipulation.
Ronald Legro, as a public service, directs my attention to Operation Northwoods, a plan with which I am already familiar. Many Ruppertoids have made a similar argument. Yes, forty years ago, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up an outrageous plan. But, of course, it was not implemented. Lots of crazy schemes in the cold war were drafted and– thankfully–not implemented, such as a nuclear first strike against the Soviet Union. And, yes, in the past decades, the CIA and its clandestine cousins have engaged in horrendous actions–some of which I have chronicled in Blond Ghost and the pages of The Nation. Yet none of this proves anything about September 11. I return to a simple point: Let doubters pursue questions, nothing is wrong with that. In fact, it's healthy. But allegations of this variety demand proof. Skeptics are not free of responsibility.
Totalitarian? Jean Santerre accuses me of that. This e-mailer is in desperate need of perspective. Stalin was a totalitarian. I, on the other hand, am concerned that conspiracy theorizing distracts people from the actual malfeasance, mistakes and misdeeds of the US government and the intelligence community. My criterion is rather basic, and I am sorry it has eluded Santerre: One should assert what one can prove as accurate and truthful.
September 11 was a day of unprecedented horror. It is not surprising that many people seek a deeper understanding of the attack and what led to it. Official answers ought not to be absorbed automatically without questions. But the purveyors of contrary explanations have a high bar to clear–particularly when they claim to possess an unseen truth–for, in the end, the only alternatives that should matter are those that are demonstrably true.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend. We had a great time enjoying the company of friends and neighbors for our annual block party. It's always a fun-filled event, for the kids and adults, alike. Unfortunately, it was also the hottest day of the year. I kept well hydrated, and added a bit of lemon to my water to boost the flavor. In addition, a drop of peppermint on the back of my neck helped keep me cool, and pick up on the light breeze in the air.
The next morning through, it was my good friend, R.C., at my side. Being in the heat all day, talking over music, and breathing in the smell of dry cut grass just got the best of me.
R.C.™ is an invigorating blend of pure essential oils – including Spruce, Cypress and three varieties of eucalyptus that is relaxing when used in massage. This carefully crafted blend helps support a healthy respiratory system.
First, what is an essential oil blend?
An essential oil blend is a proprietary blend of oils, designed for targeted to wellness. They represent the joining of wisdom and years of experience and study on plant oils. Young living's R.C. blend is a 100% Pure, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil blend, backed by our Seed to Seal promise.
What do I like most about using blends?
I find blends to be a cost-effective and convenient way of maintaining a more targeted, healthy support that my body seeks, without having to invest in several individual oils. I also know from use, that this blend has been highly effective not only for me, but for my son. Blends make it easy to use, easy to apply – and easy to add to carrier oils.
Read more about R.C. in one of the recommended Essential Oil Reference Guides, or check out studies on the individual oils to understand more about the powerful properties of this oil.
Another favorite combination for me is adding one drop of lavender with one drop of R.C., rubbing it on my chest and touching the tip of my nose.
Rub R.C. on your feet or chest before your daily workout, to uplift and inspire you.
Diffuse R.C. to create a comforting aroma in your room.
Add a couple of drops to V6 carrier oil to make a perfect compliment to your routine massage.
Consider adding 7 drops of R.C. to 2oz of Salve or Coconut Oil. It will make rubbing on the chest or bottom of the feet easier, and help spread out the oils. You can store the pre-made salve in a dark glass or non-reactive container in a cool dry area for up to 6-8mo.
Personal tip: When I need a little boost, I add a couple extra drops of Eucalyptus Radiata and Peppermint Essential Oils to my R.C. salve mix. Perfect on the bottom of my feet.
Add the baking soda to a bowl and slowly add the water while stirring constantly. Add just enough water (between 1/4 and 1/3 cup of water) to make a thick paste.
Add your essential oils and mix together.
Test a heaping spoonful of mix to see if it holds it's shape when you squeeze it in your hand. It should feel more dry than wet, but still stay in form.
Do not add too much water. If you do…just add a little more baking soda to the mix.
Fill your molds with paste. Silicone flexible molds are recommended. Pack the mix in tightly. Let dry completely (this is critical). It can take 12-36 hours, depending on the humidity level in your home. You can also bake them in a low temperature oven (if your mold is oven safe) at 200 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. Let cool.
Carefully remove from molds and store in an air tight container.
I want to repeat something I shared on the last post, because it can't be stressed enough. Education is a major part of Essential Oil use. Over the years, much of the wisdom gained from the use of plants and herbs has been lost from our everyday conversation. Reference guides should be your first point of reference when evaluating options for your personal needs. In the tabs at of the my home page, I include links to additional references for research purposes. Also remember to review some of the recent studies being done on Essential Oils through PubMed. Great information to glean.
If you don't currently have an essential oils reference guide, there are a couple options I recommend, the first is one I would recommend is published by Life Science Publishing. This will have the most up to date information, and was written with insight from Young Living's Founder, D. Gary Young.
The second option I recommend is the Reference Guide for Essential Oils produced by Abundant Health. This is also a great alternative. Abundant Health also offers an App for IOS & Android users, but I do find the books more in depth.

High tea in Rotorua … in which I breach Norwegian table etiquette.
Bars and barricades around Rotorua's Old Bath House shatter our plan for tea on the terrace.
It is a blow; we've been focused on tea and scones (properly served) since we left Taupo more than an hour ago.
Ever-intrepid though, we set off on foot across the Government Gardens in search of a new teahouse. The Art Deco Blue Baths building is a likely contender, and early indicators (a bar, with coffee machine, in the foyer) lift our hopes.
The ticket-seller woman confirms that they do, indeed, serve tea in the first-floor tearoom overlooking the baths. But not in winter.
We deflate. The chances of a town having three proper teahouses seem remote. We look along the lakefront, but our hunt is desultory. My travelling companion is as wedded as I am to the proper tea experience, and we are not in the mood for the clatter and clunky cups of the modern cafe.
"Let's try that old hotel on the corner," Rebecca suggests.
I agree; it's a long-shot, but worth a punt.
Prince's Gate Hotel in the old days.
The 75-room Prince's Gate Hotel was built in Waihi in 1897, and carried to Rotorua by bullock train and steam engine in 1917, where it was reassembled near the entrance to the Government Gardens.
High tea at The Prince's Gate is all about tradition.
wooden verandah and into the charming reception (stained-glass windows, leather chairs, huge bevelled mirrors). There's no-one behind the counter, so we venture further. Rebecca spots a large sign offering High Teas.
In the bar, a couple of businessmen (their conversation suggests they're in advertising) are ordering port. I ask the barman if high tea is still available. Recent experience has damaged our confidence.
"Of course," he says, and ushers us through to one of the dining rooms, where a waitress lays a table by the fire for us.
We opt for the traditional high tea – no cocktails, no champagne, but plenty of salmon and cucumber sandwiches (crusts off), fresh scones (there will be a short wait while they are baked) and a mountain of little pastries.
TEA 9: Dilmah English breakfast for me, a herbal infusion for Rebecca. Made in pots and poured by the waitress!
High tea by the fire is an elegant affair. Although we should be in floral dresses.
SETTING 10: So good that we book rooms for the night (they're surprisingly cheap) and wish we'd brought suitable dresses.

The all-suite oceanfront Carillon Miami Wellness Resort is a true haven in the tropics. Located along Collins Avenue in the idyllic North Miami Beach (or NoBe) area, it's away from the hustle and bustle, but just a quick car ride away from the action on SoBe.
Carillon sets the bar for lavish lifestyle destinations. More than simply a place to stay, this upscale resort is the place to go for anyone looking to get away for relaxation and recreation in an elegant, modern yet comfortable beach setting.
Everything at this historic Miami Beach fixture is grand in scale, starting with its nine-acre sprawling campus. But its take on approachable luxury makes it welcoming and unpretentious.
Instead of a traditional check-in counter, attentive staff invites you to take a seat at a private desk area and offers tea and water while a personal concierge explains the resort.
Take a dip in one of the four sparkling, freshwater pools strategically situated throughout the property: Start your day at the Sunrise Pool, take an aquatics class at the adult-only rooftop Atlantic Pool, head to the Cabana Pool for lunch and watch the moon rise at the Sunset Pool.
Set in a multi-story 70,000-square-foot facility, The Spa at Carillon Miami Beach is the largest luxury spa in South Florida. The extensive spa menu offers more than 40 spa services, anchored by the unique Thermal Experiences and Signature Spotlight Experiences.
You'll also find top-of-the-line fitness studios located throughout the property and more than 20 complimentary indoor and outdoor fitness classes and mind/body classes daily.
With an array of recreational activities, four dining venues, complimentary lectures and workshops, an unrivaled spa and a full workout facility, there's something for everyone.
For the perfect photo-op, catch a sunset cocktail on the ocean-side terrace at The Strand Bar & Grill.
Carillon features 150 spacious one- and two-bedroom suites ranging in size from 720 to 1,200 square feet, set within the resort's North and South towers.
All suites are decked out with everything you'll need for your stay: a fully equipped granite counter kitchen, a separate living room, a deep-soaking tub, an incredibly sumptuous bed with decadent 400-thread-count Mascioni linens, and plush Mascioni robes and slippers.
The décor creates a spa-like vibe, incorporating a neutral palette of serene blues, warm wood furniture, soft lighting and Italian glass mosaic tile and stone flooring in the bathroom.
Just draw back the blinds to take in the ocean, beach, pool or city skyline views.
The Strand Bar & Grill is the resort's casually elegant signature restaurant serving seasonal cuisine catering to both foodies and the health-conscious.
Flavorful dishes include roasted Romanesco cauliflower with sumac-tahini vinaigrette, orecchiette with foraged mushrooms and summer truffle, and a Mediterranean-inspired branzino served with artichokes and tomato confit. A selection of simply grilled meats and seafood ensures that even the pickiest eaters will be satisfied.
The Atlantic Ocean forms a spectacular backdrop for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or Sunday brunch at the Miami resort's signature eatery.
Head to The Corner Store for freshly made juices and smoothies that are designed to maximize health benefits, ranging from increased energy to detox to weight loss.

An earthquake of magnitude 6.9 struck the South Sandwich Islands region, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said on Monday.
The quake was at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), EMSC said.
The quake occurred in the middle of the south Atlantic ocean, 2,960 km (1,839 miles) east-north-east of Punta Arenas, Chile, EMSC added.
There was no immediate tsunami threat after the quake, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning System.


Point Roberts is Tsawwassen's charming undiscovered neighbour, boasting miles of oceanside splendour and a myriad of lifestyle activities. The landscape, the community and the lifestyle make Point Roberts unique and compelling. Seabright Farm's cottage neighbourhood is on a 62-acre oceanfront plateau on the south-west coast, a 35 km drive from the city of Vancouver.
Seabright Farms Cottages' designer and visionary, Cal Srigley, planned the residential neighbourhood with the rustic character of Point Roberts in mind. Historically, Point Roberts was a farming community with many simple, well-proportioned and practical structures, common throughout the Pacific Northwest. Farm buildings were nestled in groups, forming picturesque clusters in the landscape. Simple materials, mainly wood with some stone, were the mainstays for construction. Porches, verandas and covered yards were common practical elements that suited the local weather.
The "summer cottage" form was also prevalent in the area. These modest structures were built for simple pleasures and outdoor living. Sometimes colourful, these homes became the foundations of many family legacies. Over the years as Point Roberts grew as a summer destination, the cottages multiplied and became a dominant architectural form. A casual lifestyle of outdoor living is well supported by these small, modest and charming cottages, and is now a driving element of the vision for the Seabright Farm community.
In addition to the built context and cultural aspects, Point Roberts has a unique landscape that has influenced our designs. Ocean bluffs with long vistas, protected meadows and sun dappled woodlands characterize the community and especially our site. The weather is unusually temperate and pleasant for the Pacific Northwest, with abundant sun, long shadows, dappled forest light and a sense of endless sky.
With all this in mind, our design vision incorporates both the human and natural elements. We have developed cottage plans that show their origins in farm buildings and summer cottages. The scale is modest and forms are grouped, rather than create oversized massing. Along with the incorporation of open-air features such as verandas and breezeways, the result is easily-accesible and fluid outdoor spaces for breezy casual living.
Structures are grouped together and create small enclosed yards around them. Roads and paths are small and curved, and follow the natural landscape. This frees up much of the landscape and emulates the appearance of farm clusters, rather than sub-division lots.
The overall effect is that of a small rural settlement, with open land throughout. A casual elegance is seen in timeless details and the care of cherished spaces. The homes are picturesque and charming, yet simple and genuine in their detail and materials. And the clustering of structures, profusion of windows and breezeways, and smooth transitions between indoor and outdoor life pulls the landscape closer and encourages easy, carefree living.

This has become a real issue among Republican presidential contenders — whether to say anything nice about Obama and how to finesse the fact that not getting Osama was one of the signal failures of the Bush administration. Bush went from wanting him dead or alive to saying he didn't think much one way or the other about Osama to rarely mentioning his name.
Palin went on to criticize Obama, as she has, for dithering over Libya, but this time, just after Obama had made the risky call to go after Osama. You don't think of Obama as a risk-taker, but there he was, at the White House Correspondents Dinner, making fun of Donald Trump while knowing that his presidency hung in the balance. If the assault had gone wrong (see: Carter, Jimmy), it would have been a disaster for him and for the country. But it went right. And so, thanks to President … Bush.


Even if you don't have a 15 or 30 minute window to dedicate to yoga or a bike ride, that doesn't mean you can't add physical activity to your day. If you're not ready to commit to a structured exercise program, think about physical activity as a lifestyle choice rather than a single task to check off your to-do list. Look at your daily routine and consider ways to sneak in activity here and there. Even very small activities can add up over the course of a day.
At work and on the go. Look for ways to walk or cycle more. For example, bike or walk to an appointment rather than drive, banish all elevators and use the stairs, briskly walk to the bus stop then get off one stop early, park at the back of the lot and walk into the store or office, take a vigorous walk during your coffee break. Walk while you're talking on your cell phone.
With friends or family. Walk or jog around the soccer field during your kid's practice, make a neighborhood bike ride part of weekend routine, play tag with your children in the yard or play exercise video games. Walk the dog together as a family, or if you don't have your own dog, volunteer to walk a dog from a shelter. Organize an office bowling team, take a class in martial arts, dance, or yoga with a friend or spouse.
When we decide to begin exercising, many of us will rush out and join a gym or buy costly exercise equipment with a vow to working out every day. We may go to the gym once or twice, use the equipment a couple of times and then quickly lose motivation. The gym membership gathers dust and the exercise equipment is confined to the back of a closet.
Exercise doesn't need to be an all or nothing commitment. Committing to exercise for an hour a day may be too challenging at first, whereas committing to 10 minutes just three or four times a week is more manageable. Once these short windows of activity become a habit and you start experiencing the benefits, it's easier to progress to the next level.
Take it slow. Start with an activity you feel comfortable doing, go at your own pace, and keep your expectations realistic. For example, training for a marathon when you've never run before may be a bit daunting, but you could give yourself the goal of participating in an upcoming 5k walk for charity.
Make exercise a priority. It's one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health and by making exercise a priority in your life, you'll be more likely to stick with it over the long-term. If you have trouble fitting exercise into your schedule, consider it an important appointment with yourself and mark it on your daily agenda. Even the busiest amongst us can find a 10-minute slot to pace up and down an office staircase or take the dog for a walk.
Go easy on yourself. Do you feel bad about your body? Instead of being your own worst critic, try a new way of thinking about your body. No matter what your weight, age, or fitness level, there are others like you with the same goal of exercising more. Try surrounding yourself with people in your shoes. Take a class with others of a similar fitness level. Set easy goals for yourself to start with. Accomplishing even the smallest fitness goals will help you gain body confidence.
Stretch. No matter what form of exercise you choose, you'll benefit from adding stretching exercises to gain flexibility and range of motion. Stretching to warm up and cool down is the best form of injury-prevention for new exercisers.
Get medical clearance if you have special health issues such as an existing heart condition or high blood pressure. Talk with your doctor or health practitioner and let him or her know your plans.
You are more likely to exercise if you find enjoyable, convenient activities. Give some thought to your likes and dislikes, and remember that preferences can change over time.
Blast some favorite music and dance with your kids.
Make a deal with yourself to watch your favorite TV shows while on the treadmill or stationary bike.
Enjoy outdoor activities such as golf, playing Frisbee, or even yard work or gardening.
For many, a workout partner can be a great motivator. For example, if you won't get out of bed to swim yourself, but you would never cancel on a friend, find a swim buddy.
Making lifestyle and behavior changes is not easy. It takes time and effort and you'll likely suffer some setbacks along the way. But over time, as you continue to exercise, you'll start to reap the physical and mental health benefits and improve your physical performance. You'll be able to exercise longer and harder and have the confidence to try new activities.
Of course, no matter how much you enjoy an exercise routine, you may find that you eventually lose interest in it. That's the time to shake things up and try something new, add other activities to your exercise program, or alter the way you pursue the exercises that have worked so far.
Rewarding yourself for reaching an exercise goal is one of the best ways to stay motivated. Set an achievable goal regarding your participation and effort, not necessarily how much weight you can lift, miles you can bike, or pounds you can lose lost. If you stumble in your efforts, regroup and begin again. Reward yourself when you reach your goals—a new pair of shoes, a dinner out, whatever works to motivate you.
Be consistent. Make your workouts habitual by exercising at the same time every day, if possible. Eventually you will get to the point where you feel worse if you don't exercise. That dull, sluggish feeling fitness buffs get when they don't work out is a strong incentive to get up and go.
Record your progress. Try keeping an exercise journal of your workouts. In a matter of months, it will be fun to look back at where you began. Keeping a log also holds you accountable to your routine.
Keep it interesting. Think of your exercise session as time to yourself. Enjoy that time by listening to music, chatting with friends, and varying locations. Exercise around natural beauty, new neighborhoods, and special parks. Above all, avoid workout boredom by mixing it up and trying new routines.
Spread the word. Talking to others about your fitness routines will help keep motivation strong and hold you accountable to your exercise program. You'll be delighted and inspired hearing ways your friends and colleagues stay active and on track. Who knows, you might even convince someone else to try to be more active.

Customer interaction: Is your contact center compliant enough?
January 31, 2017 - In our rapidly evolving business environment, the volume of customer interactions with organizations keeps growing. The number of reasons why customers are reaching out to the organization is also increasing. While phone continues to be the most preferred channel, contact volumes across other digital channels are also steadily increasing. During this vigorous phase, it's critical to ask if we are taking sufficient measures to check for non-compliance.
In 2014, top 20 large US and EU banks combined together paid $4.4 billion in settlement and fines. This is 25% higher than the previous year. Quite recently an US bank was ordered to pay more than $100 million in fines due to compliance related issues1.
Is the quality audit (QA) process of listening to a small fraction of calls good enough to capture non-compliance on this scale? The answer may not be an easy one. While the QA process captures a lot of parameters around agent performance and compliance, its range of coverage is narrow. At the same time widening this range will result in additional cost. However, now we can break this status quo. Thanks to Speech Analytics. A significant percentage of these activities can be automated; the quality audit and compliance process can be made more robust.
Customer service organizations generally record nearly 100% of customer interactions. But they only use a small percentage (<10%) of the recordings to measure agent performance and compliance. Speech Analytics framework helps you break this status quo. Now you can utilize up to 100% of your call recordings to monitor your agents.
Speech analytics frameworks can be customized to achieve a whole range of objectives. For example, in the healthcare industry, listening to customer interactions and reporting adverse events may be a key business objective. Compare this with the banking industry, where monitoring regulatory compliance may be paramount. To be sure, the underlying solution cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather must be customized on a case-by-case basis.
CFPB (Consumer Finance Protection Bureau) outlines the process that a collection organization should follow while interacting with consumers notified under Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)2.
Any new solution should work in tandem with existing KPIs and reporting solutions. This is fundamental for the insights from the solution to be actionable, and for the solution to gain wider acceptance. Consider the below case in which we use speech analytics to measure the agent's communication compliance. The agent highlighted has the highest score. However, if you look at the AHT, it is one of the highest. The key takeaway is that we need to look at the data holistically to make the insights relevant.

Eimear Kenny and Noura Abul-Husn: Translational Genomics Incarnate
There's no overstating how far we have come since 2000 in the fledgling science of genomics, but at times it has seemed that our ability to amass information has far outstripped our ability to make that information matter by improving healthcare. As extraordinary as the technology is, it cannot get it out of the computer and into clinical practice. Enter Eimear Kenny and Noura Abul-Husn, respectively Founding Director and Clinical Director of the Institute for Genomic Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. Together, Eimear and Noura have turned their personal friendship and shared goals into translational genomics incarnate.

Color Genomics burst on the scene in 2015, offering breast cancer susceptibility testing at a fraction of the price of other laboratories.
From the beginning, it was clear that their goal was to scale the availability of genetic testing – including genetic counseling. This approach has drawn some skepticism and it has also drawn some competitors. Their experience with scaling the return of results, says VP of Research and Scientific Affairs Alicia Zhou, seemed like a natural fit with the aims of All of Us, the population screening program funded by the US government. The NIH apparently agreed, giving Color the contract to build out an infrastructure for genetic counseling as All of Us begins its 10-year process of giving back results to participants.
Alicia joins us on the Beagle to discuss Color's core business ($50 cascade screening? Is that… sustainable?) and some of the new challenges and whether or not they're hiring…
