Though CPAC ruffled some feathers by bringing pro-gay GOProud into the tent, such social inclusiveness didn't extend very far. Taking center stage on immigration were the Republicans' biggest flamethrowers, who issued dire warnings about the evils that immigrants could inflict upon the US. "I'm worried, because most of them are lawbreakers—in fact, most of them are criminals," Rep.
Steve King (R-Iowa) told conference-goers on Thursday. But former Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo upped the ante even further. Speaking to Mother Jones on Friday after his CPAC speech, he warned that Muslim immigrants would never be able to assimilate and posed a perilous threat by bringing Sharia law to America: Then you got the issue of Muslim immigration. Tancredo's warnings echoed recent efforts by right-wingers to ban sharia law in states like Oklahoma, and he drove home the link between immigrants, deadly crime, and terrorism in his CPAC speech as well—going so far as to equate open borders with treason.

Anti-corruption campaigners have called on foreign governments to automatically seize any assets held in their countries by the former president Hosni Mubarak or his family until it can be ascertained whether they are legitimate or not. Egyptian opposition groups allege that the Mubarak family, including his two sons Gamal and Ala'a, have been able to amass immense fortunes over the past 30 years through kickbacks and private deals.
They fear large sums of Egypt's wealth are already hidden in overseas bank accounts and property, such as the house his son Gamal is reported to own in Belgravia. The Business Secretary Vince Cable called yesterday for countries to work together on Mr Mubarak's assets. But Foreign Office officials admitted that assets would be seized only at the request of the EU, the UN or Egypt. Last night the Serious Fraud Office played down reports that a full blown hunt for any illicit funds was already under way. First Drive: 2012 McLaren MP4-12C. J. Geils Band - Looking For A Love Live.
New Plants Can Detect Bombs by Changing Color. A scientist at Colorado State University has developed a way to make everyday plants one of the first lines of defense in the war on terror. Lab work currently underway makes green plants turn white if they detect explosive, biological or chemical weapons in their environment. Imagine someone walking by these plants in an airport with hidden explosives -- and the plants changing color to alert security. Professor June Medford and fellow scientists on the campus of Colorado State University are now working with the U.S.
Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to develop high-tech plants for use in airports and other public areas. "We actually modify the seed," Medford told Fox News, "and then it's a trait that is stable and stays with it forever. It's very empowering because it will tell you that there's an explosive around: 'get the security guys here! '" The idea may sound like science fiction, but Medford says using plants to detect chemicals and pathogens makes perfect sense.
Defector admits to WMD lies that triggered Iraq war | World news. Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi: 'I would do whatever was possible' Link to video: Iraqi defector Curveball: 'I had to do something for my country' The defector who convinced the White House that Iraq had a secret biological weapons programme has admitted for the first time that he lied about his story, then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war. Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, codenamed Curveball by German and American intelligence officials who dealt with his claims, has told the Guardian that he fabricated tales of mobile bioweapons trucks and clandestine factories in an attempt to bring down the Saddam Hussein regime, from which he had fled in 1995.
"Maybe I was right, maybe I was not right," he said. "They gave me this chance. The admission comes just after the eighth anniversary of Colin Powell's speech to the United Nations in which the then-US secretary of state relied heavily on lies that Janabi had told the German secret service, the BND. OKPAGE58. Neil Peart - The Latest News. Seahawks | P. Manning to get a hike: pay raise to $23M or more. INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts are keeping Peyton Manning — no matter what it costs. Manning, the only four-time MVP in league history, has been given the exclusive franchise tag, a move that could cost the Colts $23 million next season. Team owner Jim Irsay announced the decision Tuesday night on Twitter. "We have placed the franchise tag on Peyton while we continue to negotiate a long-term deal," Irsay wrote. Eagles QB Michael Vick ($16.4M) was also given the franchise tag. Other players designated — but believed to be the transition (non-exclusive) tag — were Ravens DT Haloti Ngata, Jets LB David Harris, Chargers WR Vincent Jackson and Eagles K David Akers.
The Manning move is hardly a surprise. The current offer is believed to be richer than the four-year, $72 million contract that New England quarterback Tom Brady signed in September. "It's not a normal negotiation, his legacy and our relationship, it's very unusual," Irsay said last month. Chiefs hire Zorn Notes. Albert Pujols: If Albert Pujols gets to market, Chicago Cubs shouldn't worry about the money - chicagotribune.com.
February 16, 2011|By David Haugh | In the Wake of the News For perhaps the first time in its angst-ridden history of anticipation, the Cubs organization stands within hours of spending this year waiting till next year. Wednesday's 11 a.m. deadline for the Cardinals to strike a deal with first baseman Albert Pujols or halt negotiations until after the season threatens to induce three-martini lunches all over Wrigleyville. I still believe if the Cardinals meet Pujols' terms, say, during the All-Star break with a 10-year, $300 million offer that figures to keep him in St. Louis and thrill a baseball city, he would sign it. But if Pujols wants to follow the LeBron James Guidebook to Free Agency, so be it. It's his legacy. As for Chicago's role in baseball's biggest drama, the Bulls made the playoffs last season while they waited for the summer of 2010.
With a lineup and rotation full of maybes, I'm not sure anybody really knows yet what this Cubs team will look like. But this is now. November. Lara Logan | CBS News | Egypt. Please support our site by enabling javascript to view ads. American TV reporter Lara Logan "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault" while covering the resignation of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, according to a statement by her employer, CBS. Logan was separated from her crew at a mass rally in Tahrir Square on Friday and was surrounded by a large group of men and she was sexually assaulted and beaten, according to the statement. She was reportedly saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She eventually reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and went back to the United States on the first flight the next morning.
CBS put out the following statement late Tuesday: "On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 MINUTES story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration.

It’s probably not the best looking supercar out of all of them, but it sure will turn heads when you drive down the street or stand at a red light. Either way we know a lot about the Pagani Huyara now. We know it’s powered by a 6.0L twin-turbo V12 making 700-hp and we know it can hit a top speed of 230 mph. But how much will it cost? Pagani confirmed earlier this week that it will start selling vehicles in the U.S. market with the Huyara going on sale through a new dealer network to be setup later this year.

Feb. 19, 2011 Final Stats | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery | Box Score AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) - Once they had dispatched of feisty Air Force, the sixth-ranked San Diego State Aztecs were free to focus on BYU, the only team to beat them this year. They talked about cleaning up all that went wrong in a 13-point loss to the Cougars last month.
Atop that list ... "We have to try to keep Jimmer under 43," cracked Aztecs point guard D.J. The Aztecs, who lead the nation in wins (27) and winning percentage (96.4), have six days to prepare for the big rematch against the nation's leading scorer and seventh-ranked BYU. "This game we really want," Thomas said. They warmed up by holding off Air Force 70-58 Saturday and setting a school record with its 27th win.
Air Force, which was led by Michael Lyons' 18 points, was beaten on the glass 50-27 and allowed 21 offensive rebounds. But they sure made a game of it before fading down the stretch. And that's what ruined Air Force's hopes of an upset. Sarah Palin Tell-All: In Leaked Manuscript, Former Aide Frank Bailey Alleges She Broke Election Law, Rigged Opinion Polls.

It comes from The Real Frank Zappa Book and discusses his response to "the home taping movement" and the attempt to get everyone to rebuy their old albums on CD by proposing a system where you could subscribe to whatever genre of music you wanted and get it delivered in batches. He first talks about how ridiculous it is to focus just on selling discs of music: Then he talks about how to "embrace" home taping: It is our proposal to take advantage of the POSITIVE ASPECTS of a NEGATIVE TREND afflicting the record industry today: HOME TAPING via cassette of material released on vinyl.... First of all, we must realize that the taping of albums is not motivated by 'stinginess' alone ....

The Supreme Court decided (PDF) today that AT&T can't keep embarrassing corporate information that it submits to the government out of public view; “personal privacy” rights do not apply to corporations. “We trust that AT&T will not take it personally” concluded the ruling. The debate started back in 2004, when AT&T realized that it may have been collecting too much government cash as part of the E-rate program that provides broadband access to schools around the country. The FCC launched an investigation, and AT&T turned over reams of documents, eventually settling the matter by paying the government $500,000 and pledging to fix its oversight problems. Case closed? FOIA requests are intended to shine a spotlight on government activities, to let citizens know what their government is doing in their name.
AT&T insisted that this personal privacy exemption applied even to corporations—after all, corporations are considered legal “persons” in the US. Firefox 4 Delayed Again, 12th Beta Planned. Mozilla's next major desktop Web browser will get two more beta releases, as bugs remain. A week after releasing its tenth beta of Firefox 4, the open-source browser project's release manager, Christian Legnitto this week announced a new beta plan, which will include a 12th beta.
Previously Legnitto had written that there were no plans for a beta 12 for Mozilla's the next major desktop Web browser. Beta 11 is finished, and the Firefox planning page on the Mozilla wiki states that the team is "still working on an ETA for releasing it to our beta audience, likely early next week. " That page also mentions Beta 12 as having "a small enough list of bugs that it's plausible it will be the last beta, though we're not locking that up, since some of the plugin work needs to crystallize before we can assess timing risk.

Mike Starr's Death Leaves Fans 'Heartbroken' News of former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr's death on Tuesday (March 8) had a big impact on his famous friends, including Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx and Dr. Drew, who treated Starr on "Celebrity Rehab.

Kim added: "Not only do I love Alice in Chains, but I watched Mike on 'Celebrity Rehab' and 'Sober House' and you get to where you feel like you know them.

Printer-friendly version Story and photos by Miriam Raftery March 7, 2011 (Santee) –Golden lights glowed from the interiors of floating and waterfront cabins at Santee Lakes--cozy havens which will soon be accommodating overnight guests. I took a sneak-preview stroll along Lake 7 at twilight—witnessing the transformation from daytime to nightfall in the campground. As the sun set, I could hear the “singing” of coyotes on nearby hills. Soon, deep indigo blue hues enveloped the lake and sky above. The soft call of a night heron carried on the wind.
Reservations are now being accepted for the newest getaway in East County: ten waterfront cabins at Santee Lakes—including three dockside floating “houseboats.” Rates range from $100 to $145 a night, depending on location and dates, with occupancy available starting April 1st. Each floating cabin includes a private pedal boat for exploring the lake. Cormorants line dock in front of cabins. What else might you spot as the sun goes down?
