Upon investigation, it was learned he had his arm in a sling.

Study Finds Immigrants Commit Less California Crime

SAN FRANCISCO - Immigrants are far less likely than the average U.S.-born citizen to commit crime in California, the most populous state in the United States, according to a report issued late on Monday.0226 07

People born outside the United States make up about 35 percent of California’s adult population but account for about 17 percent of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California showed.

Clinton campaign starts 5-point attack on Obama
By Patrick Healy and Julie Bosman Published: February 26, 2008

After struggling for months to dent Senator Barack Obama's candidacy, the campaign of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is now unleashing what one Clinton aide called a "kitchen sink" fusillade against Obama, pursuing five lines of attack since Saturday in hopes of stopping his political momentum.

The effort underscores not only Clinton's recognition that the next round of primaries — in Ohio and Texas on March 4 — are must-win contests for her. It also reflects her advisers' belief that they can persuade many undecided voters to embrace her at the last minute by finally drawing sharply worded, attention-grabbing contrasts with Obama.

After denouncing Obama over the weekend for an anti-Clinton flier about the Nafta trade treaty, and then sarcastically portraying his message of hope Sunday as naïve, Clinton delivered a blistering speech on Monday that compared Obama's lack of foreign policy experience to that of the candidate George W. Bush.

"We've seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security," Clinton said in a speech on foreign policy at George Washington University. "We can't let that happen again."

With a crucial debate on Tuesday night in Ohio, both Clinton's advisers and independent political analysts said that, by going negative against Obama at a time when polls in Texas and Ohio show a tightening race, Clinton risked alienating voters. Clinton has always been more popular with voters when she appeared sympathetic and a fighter; her hard-edged instinct for negative politics has usually turned off the public.

"There's a general rule in politics: A legitimate distinction which could be effective when drawn early in the campaign often backfires and could seem desperate when it happens in the final hours of a campaign," said Steve McMahon, a Democratic strategist working for neither candidate.

In Clinton's speech Monday, she also portrayed herself as "tested and ready" to be commander in chief, while accusing Obama of believing "that mediation and meetings without preconditions will solve some of the world's most intractable problems." Obama has said he would go further than Clinton to meet with leaders of hostile nations, but he has also said he would prepare for those meetings carefully and would not be blind to the leaders' motives.

On another matter, Clinton's aides criticized Obama on Monday for not distancing himself from outside groups running advertisements that promote his candidacy, a practice that Obama has sometimes criticized. But the attack that received the most pop, on cable television and blogs, came after a photograph of Obama in ceremonial African garb appeared on the Drudge Report, and the item's author, Matt Drudge, claimed that the image was provided by a Clinton staff member.

Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, said that the Clinton campaign had "engaged in the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we've seen from either party." It has not been independently verified that the photograph came from the Clinton campaign.

Clinton's new campaign manager, Maggie Williams, recently appointed to bring a tougher hand to the operation, issued a withering reply, not taking responsibility for the photograph but attacking the Obama campaign for suggesting that the photograph amounted to fear-mongering imagery.

"Enough," Williams's statement began. "If Barack Obama's campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely."

"This is nothing more than an obvious and transparent attempt to distract from the serious issues confronting our country today and to attempt to create the very divisions they claim to decry," she added. "We will not be distracted."

Clinton advisers said on Monday that the attacks were partly an effort to knock Obama off balance before the debate on Tuesday.

They also said they were also sending a signal to supporters and donors that Clinton was still resolutely fighting to win the presidential nomination, despite news reports in recent days about her dispirited campaign operation and her own somber outlook on the race.

To bolster her case at the George Washington speech, Clinton stood on stage with a half-dozen retired military officials, including General Wesley Clark, who introduced her. "I'm convinced that when the going gets tough, Hillary Clinton will never let America down," Clark said.

Clinton pointed to her time in the Senate and in the White House as the first lady as evidence that she was the candidate who was most knowledgeable and prepared for the presidency.

"Electing a president should not be an either-or proposition when it comes to national security," she said. "We need a president who knows how to deploy both the olive branch and the arrows, who will be ready to act swiftly and decisively in a crisis."

The sharpened tone reflected a vacillating style that had her reflective about her political fate at the end of last Thursday's debate in Texas, and offering an apology of sorts for Bill Clinton's comments in South Carolina several weeks ago that many people viewed as racially insensitive.

By contrast, at a fund-raiser Sunday night in Boston, Clinton told supporters that in the coming days, she planned to highlight what she called "the experience gap" between her and Obama.

Indeed, her advisers said Monday that she planned to hit this theme during the candidates' Tuesday debate, though they said she would try to avoid making harsh personal attacks on Obama, particularly since Clinton drew widespread attention and praise at the debate last week for saying she was "honored" to be on the same stage with him.

White people all look alike to me...

No less an authority figure than Karl Rove has warned Republican operatives from demagoguing Barack Obama's middle name.

At a closed door meeting of GOP state executive directors in late January, Rove said the safest way to refer to Obama would be to use his honorific, "Sen. Obama."

"The context was, you're not going to stimatize this guy. You shouldn't underestimate him," one of the executive directors said. Rove said that the use of "Barack Hussein Obama" would perpetuate the notion that Republicans were bigoted and would hurt the party.

Rove also said that Republicans should refer to Hillary Clinton as "Sen. Clinton," rather than "Hillary."

I wouldn't vote for her if it were my ONLY option.

Turkey says no timetable for Iraq pullout

Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:31pm EST

By Ahmed Rasheed and Mariam Karouny

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Turkey said on Wednesday it had "no timetable" to withdraw troops fighting Kurdish guerrillas in northern Iraq, resisting pressure from the United States and other allies to end the offensive quickly.

Thousands of Turkish troops crossed the border last Thursday to root out PKK fighters. The PKK has used remote mountainous northern Iraq as a base in their armed campaign for self-rule in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey.

"Our objective is clear, our mission is clear and there is no timetable until ... those terrorist bases are eliminated," Turkish envoy Ahmet Davutoglu told a news conference after talks in Baghdad with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari.

Red state senator endorses Obama, citing broad appeal

Sen. Barack Obama picked up an endorsement from his colleague Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota senator whose record of supporting labor and opposition to NAFTA could help Obama in Tuesday's Ohio Democratic primary.

Dorgan announced his support in a Wednesday afternoon conference call, where he praised Obama's record on trade and labor and called Obama the best chance for Democrats to expand their appeal across the country.

"Obama has done well in red states, bringing new people into this campaign," Dorgan said. "One reason we've lost so many states is because candidates have given up on these states before the campaign begins. Sen. Obama is not going to do that."

Dorgan is the 10th senator to endorse Obama, following former presidential candidate Chris Dodd giving Obama his support Tuesday. Clinton has been endorsed by 13 senators, while 24 Democrats in the chamber are still on the sidelines of the presidential race.

Although North Dakota's other senator, Kent Conrad, and its lone representative, Earl Pomeroy, also are Democrats, the state has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, Dorgan said. He noted that the only other Democratic president the state supported was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served from 1933 to 1945. The two most recent Democratic contenders, John Kerry and Al Gore, lost the state by 30 and 28 points, he said.

9/11 Redux: 'Thousands of Aliens' in U.S. Flight Schools Illegally
Former FAA Inspector: TSA's Enforcement of Post-9/11 Laws 'Basically Nonexistent'
By BRIAN ROSS, VIC WALTER and ERIC LONGABARDI

Feb. 27, 2008—

Thousands of foreign student pilots have been able to enroll and obtain pilot licenses from U.S. flight schools, despite tough laws passed in the wake of the 9/ll attacks, according to internal government documents obtained by ABC News.

"Some of the very same conditions that allowed the 9-11 tragedy to happen in the first place are still very much in existence today," wrote one regional security official to his boss at the TSA, the Transportation Security Administration.

"Thousands of aliens, some of whom may very well pose a threat to this country, are taking flight lessons, being granted FAA certifications and are flying planes," wrote the TSA official, Richard A. Horn, in 2005, complaining that the students did not have the proper visas.

Under the new laws, American flight schools are only supposed to provide pilot training to foreign students who have been given a background check by the TSA and have a specific type of visa.

But in thousands of cases that has not happened, according to the documents and current and former government officials involved in the program.

"TSA's enforcement is basically nonexistent," said former FAA inspector Bill McNease, in an interview for ABC News' "World News With Charles Gibson."

ACLU calls out US over 'absurd bloating' of terror watch list

More that 900,000 people are currently listed as suspected terrorists on the US government's "do not fly" list, and that number will grow to beyond 1 million by summer, says the American Civil Liberties Union.

"If there were a million terrorists in this country, our cities would be in ruins," Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU's Technology and Liberty Program, stated in a press release from the group. "The absurd bloating of the terrorist watch lists is yet another example of how incompetence by our security apparatus threatens our rights without offering any real security."

The ACLU has launched a new Web site to track the growth of the watch list, which it says includes thousands of innocent Americans, including prominent politicians and authors as well as people with common names.

The group says its count is "extrapolated from a September 2007 report by the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, which reported that the Terrorist Screening Center had over 700,000 names in its database as of April 2007, and that the list was growing by an average of over 20,000 records per month." As of Wednesday afternoon, the ACLU said there were about 917,500 names on the list.

Britain Told to Release Blair Cabinet's Minutes
Notes May Clarify Debate on Iraq Invasion

By Kevin Sullivan
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, February 27, 2008; A10

LONDON, Feb. 26 -- A British official on Tuesday ordered the government to release minutes from two meetings of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair's cabinet in March 2003, saying they could shed light on "uncertainties and controversies" surrounding Britain's decision to join the United States in the invasion of Iraq.

"There is a widespread view that the justification for the decision on military action in Iraq is either not fully understood or that the public were not given the full or genuine reasons for that decision," Information Commissioner Richard Thomas said in his ruling on a request made under the Freedom of Information Act.

The case illustrates how sensitive the Iraq war remains five years after the invasion. The war is extremely unpopular in Britain and was a key factor in Blair's departure after a decade in office. Many people in Britain remain skeptical and suspicious about the government's motivations for becoming the Bush administration's chief ally in Iraq.

Thomas rejected government arguments that the minutes should be exempt from public release because they deal with the formulation of public policy and ministerial communications. The Cabinet Office had argued to him that public disclosure of minutes would inhibit free and candid debate about sensitive issues in future cabinet sessions.

Thomas, who was allowed to inspect the minutes as part of his deliberations, said that while he respected the government's position, "arguments for the withholding of the information are outweighed by the public interest in its disclosure."

The information commissioner's ruling is binding, but the government has 28 days to appeal. A spokesman for the Cabinet Office said officials were reviewing the decision.

"The requirements of openness and transparency must be balanced against the proper and effective functioning of government," the Cabinet Office said in a statement Tuesday.

Report: Lewis to endorse Obama 2 hours, 4 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Civil rights leader John Lewis has dropped his support for Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid in favor of Barack Obama, according to a newspaper report Wednesday.

Lewis, a Democratic congressman from Atlanta, is the most prominent black leader to defect from Clinton's campaign in the face of near-majority black support for Obama in recent voting. He also is a superdelegate who gets a vote at this summer's national convention in Denver.

"It's been a long, hard difficult struggle to come to where I am," Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an interview. "But when I am, as a superdelegate, I plan to cast my vote at the convention for Barack Obama."

Lewis' constituents supported Obama roughly 3-to-1 in Georgia's Feb. 5 primary. His endorsement had been a coveted prize among the Democratic candidates thanks to his standing as one of the last major civil rights leaders of the 1960s.

OH-10: Kucinich Looks Safe For Re-election
by: Chris Bowers
Wed Feb 27, 2008 at 13:52
I am relieved to report that Kucinich appears safe for re-election in OH-10, according to a new survey from Public Policy Polling:

Kucinich does though appear safe to ward off the challenge he is facing from four challengers in the Democratic primary. Kucinich is currently at 55%, followed by Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman at 29%. The other three candidates register at 5% or lower.(...)

While self identified Democrats intend to reelect Kucinich by a wide margin (59-26), Republicans and independents who are planning to vote in the Democratic primary are not as enamored with him. He trails Cimperman 45-34 with independent voters and has just a 45-35 advantage with Republican voters.

PPP surveyed 470 likely Democratic primary voters on February 25th. The survey's margin of errors is +/-4.7%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed and weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.

Defeating an incumbent in a primary is just about the most difficult electoral challenge someone can undertake. Kucinich put himself in a potentially vulnerable position by spending so much time running for President, and by using his national small donor base to focus almost entirely on his Presidential campaign. If he was defeated, it would have damaged much of the momentum progressives earned from the Donna Edwards victory, but that does not appear to be a big worry now.

While this wasn't the campaign to become involved with, given the corporate and Republican money Cimperman was raising against Kucinich, at some point it is probably a good idea for the blogosphere to become involved in a primary challenge against a member of the progressive caucus. So far, from what I can tell, the Edwards victory is having much more of an impact on the Congressional Black Caucus than it is on the wider House caucus. It might be necessary to defeat a member from every caucus, such as Ed Fallon defeating Blue Dog Leonard Boswell, in order for these primary challenges to create the desired behavioral change among congressional Democrats. And every caucus means Blue Dogs, New Dems, Progressives, the CBC, and the Hispanic caucus.

Afghan journalist for CTV labelled 'unlawful enemy combatant'

The U.S. military has designated a journalist employed by CTV in Afghanistan as an unlawful enemy combatant.

A military spokesman told the Associated Press that a review board has determined Jawed Ahmad, an Afghan national, is a danger to foreign troops and the Afghan government.

Ahmad has been held for the last four months at the U.S. military compound in Bagram, 50 kilometres north of the capital, Kabul. U.S. officials alleged he had Taliban phone numbers and videos in his possession when he was picked up.

Maj. Chris Belcher, a spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition, says Ahmad was given an opportunity to provide a statement to the military's enemy combatant review board.

Belcher did not say when the review took place or whether Ahmad was represented by counsel.

Belcher also refused to provide details about what he called "credible information" against Ahmad. Nor would he say whether the military believed Ahmad had any more contact with the Taliban than other journalists working in Afghanistan.

It is common for journalists in Afghanistan to have contact information on Taliban fighters so that they can seek comments for news stories.

The corporate world is going to look back at the Bush years as a dream period. Whatever they want, no matter how crazy or dangerous to others, gets the official Bush seal of approval. If only there was another branch of government that had some power to provide balance and call them out. If only...
Under pressure from agriculture industry lobbyists and lawmakers from agricultural states, the Environmental Protection Agency wants to drop requirements that factory farms report their emissions of toxic gases, despite findings by the agency's scientists that the gases pose a health threat.

Girl From Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa

When she walks its like a samba
That sways so sweet and swings so gently
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes haaa

Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his hide gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesnt see

Ooh but he watches so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her
Yes he would give his hide gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks ahead not at he

Tall and tan and young and lonely
The girl from ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
She smiles but she doesnt see

HI there Dan
Thanks for the advice, and we have already set that into the plans from day 1. My builder is a tech nut, so I will have the next generation stuff in before everyone else has it as well. And of course the entire house will be wired for wireless access inside and out.
BUT - imagine what 10 ft ceilings will be like in the basement???? It will be finished eventually because it is really part of the living space due to the slope of the lot, and design of the house. So, it is going to be amazing. And then 9ft ceilings on the first floor with the living room having only a 1/2 ceiling allowing for a skylight, and then the 2nd floor has 8 ft ceilings. And all doors are almost 7 ft standard. I am already short - so it will be like living in a giant's house. LOL

neffer, if you're building from the ground up make sure you wire everything you can possibly imagine (ethernet, audio, cable) while its still in sticks. you might want to think about picking a spot as a nexus and putting a patch panel there so you can manage the connections. adding it later is a real pain.
