Outrageous Celebrity Antics of the Week

It is generally agreed, among men at least, that Angelina Jolie has a multiplicity of body parts worthy of reverence. Go ahead, name one. Awesome. Now, her right leg, which she flaunted temptingly at the Oscars, has its very own monument. A Twitter page. It's called, appropriately enough, “Angie's Right Leg,” and as of Monday afternoon had more than 12,000 followers. Angie's right leg, surprisingly enough, can type. It's a bit of a chatterbox, truth be told.
“I'm a leg!!” it said, for instance, at 8:54 p.m. on Feb. 26. At 11:51 a.m. Monday, it was in more of a philosophical mood. “Left leg and I talked – everything's cool. Next Oscars, she gets the slit.” At the Oscars, Jolie's glamorous black dress featured a split by her right leg. She accentuated it while presenting the award for best adapted screenplay. One of the winners of that category, “The Descendants” co-writer Jim Rash, mocked the pose while accepting his award.

Parlez-vous français? Tres bièn. Perhaps you caught it then. When Jean Dujardin accepted his Academy Award for Best Actor on Sunday night, for the lead role in “The Artist,” he broke into his native tongue and dropped what is often considered the French equivalent of the F-bomb. Censors didn't catch it. Even Dujardin didn't seem immediately aware of what had happened. E! News, tipped off to the gaffe, asked Dujardin afterward what he had said. “I said it's amazing, it's incredible …” he began, then conferred with his translator. Dujardin paused and then said, smiling: “Uh, yeah. I'm sorry.” Still, the word wasn't actually the F-bomb, nor is it considered as taboo in French. Le Figaro reported that French newspapers carried Dujardin's remarks in full. The word he used means “prostitute.” Still, his mother wasn't happy he said it. “I don't like, I don't like (that) he said (it),” she told Access Hollywood, but she was laughing.

The spies at TMZ caught Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver shopping for furniture together. The website surmised that it was yet another sign that the couple are reconciling. The estranged couple had a lunch date in Santa Monica on Tuesday, not unusual in itself. But afterwards, they strolled to a nearby furniture store and looked over the merchandise. According to math on the worldwide web, lunch plus furniture shopping equals five. The couple is currently living apart. TMZ has been reporting that Shriver is “conflicted” about the pending divorce, on religious grounds. Sources tell the site that she has flip-flopped about the divorce many times.

Whether you like him or not – we happen to think he's pretty funny, but whatever – everyone can agree that Bill Maher has a big mouth. His mother probably thinks so. Well, now he's putting big money where it (his mouth) is. Maher pledged $1 million Thursday night to a super PAC supporting President Barack Obama. The political satirist announced it during a Yahoo-webcast special, “CrazyStupidPolitics.” He said he was giving the money to Priorities USA Action, a super political action committee backing the president. Even as he made his sizeable pledge, Maher mocked the committee's “tongue-twister name,” joking that it was dreamed up by Borat, the English-addled comic creation of Sacha Baron Cohen. A cynic on politics who often takes liberal stands on issues on his HBO talk show “Real Time,” Maher joins Dreamworks Animation executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and the Service Employees International Union as the committee's top funders. Katzenberg gave the group $2 million, and the union donated $1 million. Priorities USA Action officials were not immediately available for comment. Maher is available anytime.

Snooki is pregnant, various online sites reported. The news appeared to begin with Page Six, then spread quickly. “The universe's collective IQ should prepare to drop a few points,” Page Six said of the prospective Snookums. The site said that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is carrying the child of her boyfriend, fellow “Jersey Shore” star Jionni LaValle. She had previously denied that she was pregnant, Page Six saying she was brokering a deal to announce the news. But TMZ reports sources said that Snooki lied about the pregnancy because she didn't want to jinx it before the magical three-month mark. The website reported late Wednesday afternoon that an official announcement of a Snooki bun in the oven was now “expected at any moment.

Actress Sean Young got into a fight with a security guard at a post-Oscars party Sunday night and was promptly arrested. Young, who starred in “Blade Runner” and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” was placed under citizen's arrest after the scuffle, police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said. “She was trying to get into the party and couldn't get in,” he said. Young was booked at the Hollywood police station on charges of alleged misdemeanor battery. She was released early Monday when she posted $20,000 bail. TMZ reports that Young was standing near the entrance of the Governors Ball, snapping photos with friends. When security realized she didn't have a ticket, they asked the actress to leave. The website says that Young allegedly slapped one of the guards. An Associated Press business executive witnessed Young being taken into custody. Tom Januszewski said a guard placed his forearm on Young's neck and head while other guards put her in handcuffs. “It happened incredibly fast,” he said. “I thought it was incredibly well-handled.” The actress tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006. She entered rehabilitation for alcohol abuse in 2008 after she was removed from the Directors Guild of America awards.

Charlie Sheen will be back on the air with a weekly sitcom beginning June 28, be warned. The FX channel announced Tuesday that his new sitcom, “Anger Management,” will air its first two episodes that night. The show is loosely based on a 2003 movie of the same name about a non-traditional therapist. FX has ordered 10 episodes of “Management” for the first season. It marks Sheen's return to weekly TV after getting canned from “Two and a Half Men” last year for sundry shenanigans.

Elizabeth Warren VIDEO

With the so-called “lack of media attention” given to Occupy Wall Street in its early days, it feels a bit like the protests came out of nowhere and spread like wildfire. But Senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren predicted that this would happen a few years back.
In 2009, she told Dan Rather that if we paid attention to history, we should recognize that we’re due to face a crisis:
Her words have now gone viral, and Internet commentators have also picked up on these statements she made, which some argue make a good case for the Wall Street occupation:
Check out the video to see what Warren had to say and how Occupy Wall Street supporters are taking those words to heart:

Breaking Bad

If you don't want to hear details, especially about last night's season finale of Breaking Bad, turn away from this website now. But I consider it fair game to talk in detail about TV shows once they've been televised - especially if they're doing interesting enough work to be saluted for it. I was blown away by the season ender of Breaking Bad. For its season finale, it set up a high-stakes showdown, with the cold-blooded drug kingpin Gus on one side, and the newly reconciled Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), former partners in Gus's high- tech meth lab, on the other. Each side wanted the other dead, but both sides were on guard. In last week's episode, Jesse successfully lured Gus to a local hospital, and Walter's plan was to plant and ignite a bomb under Gus's car. But Gus, intuitively, left the car in the parking lot, and found another ride home. That left Walter, in the opening minute of the season finale, to dismantle the bomb in frustration and bring it into the hospital, hidden in a knapsack.
He sits next to Jesse, who's sitting in the hallway outside a pediatric intensive ward, and the two exchange words. It's absurdly funny, and intensely dramatic, all at the same time. In short, it's why I adore Breaking Bad. For the rest of the finale, there were scenes that made me laugh, and scenes that made me drop my jaw. In order, those would be Bob Odenkirk's scenes as lawyer Saul Goodman in the first place, and the final showdown with Gus in the second. And, as always with this series, there was a final image that will linger with me until new episodes arrive again. This time, the camera slowly closed in on a flower pot in Walter's back yard, eventually identifying it as a variety of poisonous plant - which, in turn, identified Walter as the true perpetrator of the crime he had accused Gus of doing. In true Machiavellian fashion, Walter had framed Gus and risked killing a young kid, all to get Jesse back on his side and against Gus. Series creator Vince Gilligan said from the start he wanted to take Walter White, and viewers, on a journey, following the central character as he changes from meek hero to forceful villain. In this fourth season finale, Breaking Bad delivered on that promise, brilliantly. By the end of this season, Walter isn't just breaking bad. He's broken. Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Taissa Farmiga play a family moving into a house, where the previous tenants were found dead. Enlarge Robert Zuckerman / FX Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Taissa Farmiga play a family moving into a house, where the previous tenants were found dead. With American Horror Story, it's harder to believe the show's creators have a five-year plan but at least, after having seen the first three episodes, I can promise there's a short-term one. Series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who worked together on Glee and Nip / Tuck, have a history of letting their shows go all over the place. American Horror Story starts all over the place, then slowly reveals the logic and history of it all. The central story has Connie Britton, from Friday Night Lights, and Dylan McDermott, from The Practice, as a couple whose marriage is in trouble. She's just had a miscarriage, he's just had an affair - and they move to the West Coast, with their teen daughter in tow, to see if a new environment can spark a new start - except they can't pass up an unbelievably tempting real -estate deal, and move into a house whose previous tenants were found dead. 

The house comes with its own housekeeper, played by Frances Conroy from Six Feet Under, and a creepy neighbor, played by Jessica Lange. Last week's premiere was a polarizing jumble of images, characters, scares and subplots - some people hated it, but I really, really liked it. And knowing what's to come, in the next two weeks, only has me liking it more. It helps to know, for example, the prologue that opened the pilot episode, showing the house at a different point in its history, is a recurring theme each week, like the flashback device on Lost. And it may encourage reluctant viewers to give the show another chance if they know that, even by episode three, a few mysteries will indeed be solved. Like, for example, why the elderly housekeeper has one dead eye. And in addition to secrets, there also are scares - as when, in this week's episode, Connie Britton's Vivien has a late-night visitor at the door while her husband is out of town. These two shows, Breaking Bad and American Horror Story, are by no means at the same level. Breaking Bad, along with AMC's Mad Men, ranks as the best drama on TV right now. American Horror Story, like many of its characters, starts off as more of an intriguing oddity. But both shows have me thinking about them long after I've turned off the TV set - which, for me, is the mark of Must-See TV.

If you do not want to hear the details, especially on the night of the final last season to break the bad, turn away from this site. But I think it's fair game to talk in detail about the TV programs once they have been broadcast on television - especially if they are doing enough work is interesting to be alive for it.
I was blown away of the Rarest of the season to break the bad.
The end of season session, set up to address high risks, with Goss in cold blood, drug barons on one side, matching the newly white and Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), and former partners in Jos, the high-technology meth lab, on the other. They want from each side killed the other, but both sides were in custody. In an episode last week, Jesse Goss successfully lured to a local hospital, and the plan was to plant the Walter and ignite a bomb under a car in Goss. But Goss, a priori, leaving the car in the parking lot, and found another ride home. Left that Walter, in the first minute from the end of the season, to dismantle a bomb in frustration and bring it to the hospital, was hidden in a bag. Sitting next to Jesse, who is sitting in the hallway outside the suite a pediatric intensive, and the exchange of words Mon It's funny silly, intense and dramatic, and all at the same time. In short, it is why I love to break the bad.
Conclusion For the rest, there were scenes that made me laugh, and the scenes that made me drop my jaw. In the system, will be those scenes as Bob Odenkirk lawyer Saul Goodman in the first place, and the final confrontation with Goss in the second. As always with this series, there was a final image that will remain with me until the new episodes up again. This time, the camera slowly closed in on a flower pot in the backyard and Walter, and determine the end of the day as a variety of poisonous plants - which, in turn, identified and Walter is the real culprit of the crime he was accused by Jose. In true Machiavellian fashion, and was framed by Goss and Walter feared killed a little girl, each time to get Jesse on his side and against Goss.
Said series creator Vince Gilligan from the beginning that he wants to take Walter White, and viewers, on a trip, and after the central character as he changes from hero to villain Wadih force. In this final season in the fourth, breaking a bad delivery on this promise, brilliantly. By the end of this season, Walter is not just a bad break. Because it is broken.

The first offer last week to attract a mix of scares and images, personalities and subplots - some people hate it, but I really, really liked it. And see what comes in the next two weeks, but they appeal to me more than that.

It helps to know, for example, which opened the introduction to the pilot episode, showing the house in a different point in its history, is a recurring theme each week, such as a flashback to the West. And can encourage viewers want to give another chance to show if they know that, even by episode three, and already a few secrets can be solved. Such as, for example, why the elderly housekeeper, and one eye shot.
In addition to secrets, and there are also fears - when appropriate, in this week's episode, Vivian Connie Woods had visitors late at night at the door while her husband was out of town.
This offers two, break the horror story Bad and the U.S., and in any case on the same level. Breaking bad, side by side with men in AMC insane, classified as the best drama on TV now. American horror story, like many of its characters, and starts more than an odd curiosity. But both appear to me to think about them long after you turn off the TV - which, for me, is a sign to be found on television.

Now that you know your letters will be censored, he tells his friends he'll write to them using a simple code: the blue ink of the truth, the red ink of lies.

New york Yankees

The Yankees’ $115 million starting lineup was held to two runs with the season on the line, losing 3-2 to the Detroit Tigers last night at Yankee Stadium in the decisive fifth game of their Major League Baseball first-round playoff series.
The Yankees entered the 2011 season with baseball’s biggest payroll at $202.7 million and their 25-man postseason roster had about $192 million in combined salary, twice that of the Tigers.
When Alex Rodriguez -- the sport’s highest-paid player with a 10-year, $275 million contract -- struck out for the third time, it ended both the game and the Yankees’ season while sending Detroit into the American League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers.
“Maybe in years past I felt like I put too much pressure on myself, but I have no regrets,” Rodriguez, who went 2-for- 18 in the series, said in the Yankees’ locker room. “It’s hard to tip your hat, but you’ve got to do it.”
The Yankees’ nine-man starting lineup, which features seven players making more than $8 million this year, was held to two hits in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position by Detroit pitchers Doug Fister, Max Scherzer, Joaquin Benoit and Jose Valverde. Fister and Scherzer, who together pitched 6 1/3 innings, have a combined salary of about $1 million this season.
“Right now it’s tough to handle,” said Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher, who went 4-for-19 in the series, including a bases-loaded strikeout to end the seventh inning last night. “Collectively, as a team, we couldn’t get it done and now we have to take that into the offseason.

Police shoot Calif quarry shooting

Live television footage showed police cars gathered in the Sunnyvale neighborhood and authorities pulling a tarp over what appeared to be a body in front of a home.
The shooting happened about five miles from the quarry. Mike Astor, who manages a gas station near the scene, told The Associated Press that he heard gunshots around 7:30 a.m.
According to authorities, Allman became upset Wednesday during a safety meeting at Permanente Quarry. Allman left the meeting and returned with a handgun and rifle and started shooting people, Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Rick Sung. About 15 workers were at the meeting.
Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith released the names of the dead Wednesday evening as Manuel Pinon, 48, of Newman, Calif., and John Vallejos, 51 and Mark Munoz, 59, both of San Jose.
Six others at the quarry were wounded and taken to hospitals, where some remained in critical condition, Smith said.
Later Wednesday morning, authorities received a 911 call reporting that a woman was shot in an attempted carjacking near Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Cupertino campus by a man matching Allman's description. The shooter fled on foot after using a weapon similar to a gun used in the quarry shooting, authorities said.
The carjacking victim, a Hewlett-Packard contract employee, was in fair condition at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, according to hospital spokeswoman Joy Alexiou.
Another victim was treated and released from the hospital, while a third remained in fair condition, she said.
Schools were locked down in Cupertino, home of Apple Inc., and in nearby communities as authorities went door to door with guns drawn and residents were warned to stay indoors.
Authorities found Allman's car, and collected a shotgun, a handgun and two rifles believed to belong to the suspect, Smith said, adding that some of the weapons were found in the car.
The shootings rattled those close to Allman.
To his friends, Allman was the big man with a big smile, a devoted single father of two who once worked tirelessly to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims, and who penned a novel about the evils of domestic violence.

Health Officials say Emergency room visits

Health officials say emergency room visits by children with concussions from sports and recreational activities rose 60 percent in the past decade. They said that's probably because parents and coaches are more careful about getting these head injuries treated.
Bicycling and football were the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study of youths 19 and younger is based on a national survey of 66 hospital emergency departments. About 250,000 brain injury visits were reported in 2009, up from about 150,000 in 2001.
Experts think increased awareness in recent years about the dangers of concussion prompted the increase. Trips to the ER rose dramatically but hospitalizations did not, so more of the recent cases were milder injuries.

Osama Bin Laden

In the "martyrs of the missing," Charles Kurzman suggests that even before the killing of Osama bin Laden and his movement has completely failed. The trademark of al Qaeda ideology is to urge Muslims to engage in ordinary acts of individual violence against those deemed enemies of Islam, and specifically Americans, Jews and infidels, the rulers of the Muslim-majority countries. So far, such attacks have occurred the very few in the United States since September 11, and certainly nothing comparable to the devastating events of that day. Stressed how surprising is this, cites Kurzman 2006 online guide to the Mujahideen aspiring lists the 14 "simple tools" that "is easy to use and available to anyone who wants to fight the occupying enemy" - which includes "Run more than one person is infected. Car" and "ignite fire in the houses or rooms at bedtime "Kurzman, a sociologist who has written extensively about Muslim reform movements, and asks:" If terrorist tactics to be available widely for cars, why are there so few Islamic terrorists? in the light of the death and destruction caused by terrorists, the question may seem absurd. But if there is more than a billion Muslims in the world, many of whom hate the supposed death of the Western and the desire, why do not we see the terrorist attacks in every place, every day?

Kurzman answer is that al Qaeda and violent sons have failed miserably so simply because they can not attract large numbers of recruits to their cause. Recognize the opinion polls show that concern a large proportion of Muslims in the world (outside the U.S.) was approved by bin Laden. In his opinion, however, should be understood such feelings is not as showing the actual with the tactics of al Qaeda and methods, it is evidence that bin Laden and his group were a form of "radical Sheikh." By this, Kurzman means that al Qaeda has become a symbol of anti-imperialism and Islamic authenticity and thumbing of the nose and one in the political system in which the brutality of many Arabs and Muslims to live. In fact, many of those who express approval of bin Laden in the opinion polls also show enthusiasm for pop music or political democracy - both anathema to al Qaeda.
The passage of time has alienated most of the Muslims of al Qaeda, for a number of reasons. Perhaps most important is to kill large numbers of Muslims in the terror campaigns. These killings of a taboo in Islamic law, and the efforts of al Qaeda legitimacy of whom have had little success. Most Muslims reject the divinity of al Qaeda, a malignant form of Salafism, a strict or literal approach to texts and revealed that the trademark if their fellow Muslims infidels were not pure enough in their beliefs and practices. This theology gives al-Qaida quality orientation, which prevents from becoming a mass movement, although it is not clear that it aspires to become one of the ever: the vanguard of declared al-Qaeda describes its members as "outsiders", in reference to a few Muslims who will remain true to his religion at the end of time.
Kurzman also notes that al Qaeda had to deal with competition from other Islamic groups, and ideologies, including local movements that do not have the global agenda. Hamas and the Taliban may espouse violence and Islamic radicalism, but they have little interest in attacking the West, and their interpretations of Islam and often come into conflict with the leader of al Qaeda. (In contrast, bin Laden's media savvy, and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, did not allow filming itself.) Equally important, Al Qaeda is facing competition from Islamic groups that combine a liberal, at least some measure of support for political democracy with the culturally conservative views views on women's role and scope of Islamic law.
While the book is Kurzman contribution to the study of al-Qaeda and Islam, one is very selective. Point of view of provocation that there are a lot of "martyrs of the missing" - that there is, in fact, "the terrorists Muslim, very few" - if it makes sense, and only one focuses narrowly on the United States and not, for example, in Iraq or Afghanistan or Pakistan. Conducted many of them people of these countries have suffered from terrorist attacks daily in the name of the ideology of al Qaeda for a decade at least, by the suicide bombers who were abundant. For Iraqis, and provides statistics Kurzman - "Islamic terrorists the world has managed to recruit fewer than one in 15,000 Muslims over the past quarter century, and less than one in 100,000 Muslims since 9 / 11" - provide little comfort. Calculus through this we are talking about more than 10,000 people. Any other terrorist phenomenon that compares in size.

Flight 93

He criticized some 2000 km from where United Airlines Flight 93 now, sitting in an empty office in central headquarters and the Warriors, nearly 10 years of the Intifada in the 757 hijacked in the field of southwestern Pennsylvania ferociously to the extent that I found a piece of debris after the collision was smaller than phone book, you may have lost the details of the time. John Beaven, or perhaps just do not want to remember.

Beaven not immediately recall how many times he was at the site of the crash that killed his father and 43 others on September 11, 2001. It figures, after some talk, there were two visits. He said he does not remember even one of the trips until his mother reminded him of a few weeks ago. Beaven then went on his way to Pittsburgh for hip surgery. He can not say for sure, in the wake of the surreal that day, whether it met U.S. President George W. Bush in the White House first, and then went to Shanksville, Pennsylvania. , Or whether on the contrary.
Beaven lost his father on that day. But he made clear in the morning break from his duties as CEO and the Warriors' ticket sales, he did not lose his identity. He does not remember the details of the others may be burned in them because he decided that 9 / 11 does not define him. Some of my colleagues on the business side and the Golden State do not even know it relates to that day. Was originally planned to skip the ceremonies in the state of Pennsylvania this weekend to commemorate 10 years of terrorist attacks before deciding to attend to support a 15-year step-sister.
He would not governed by the United 93, as those who know his father, Alan Beaven, says lawyer talented environmental will not want to know any role was in the passengers and crew to break into the four hijackers and brought the plane before it is believed that up to any of the Capitol or the White House, that the targeting the terrorists intended.
"I think in large part, it seems funny, but I never wanted to make a big deal out of it," said John Beaven. "At some point, I would like to take my wife there. Was not there and said it, but I'm not big on pomp and circumstance, and I'm busy here and there a lot going on leading up to what we hope will be one season. I understand why it's a big deal, and I understand why so many people have commented much on the importance of this event, and especially what happened in Flight 93, but I was not that person and I felt like my father, someone who very much would not have wanted us to hold a big deal for that. "
Here is the thing, though. He works for the Warriors because of 9 / 11. It can not help, strangely, but at least be part of the basis for a successful career.
And John Beaven, 21 years old, and about to start senior year of the University of California at San Diego, in Australia, visiting his girlfriend in September Were watching TV, when the news broke: A plane crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center World Trade Center in New York. About 45 minutes later, and another in the reduction of other aircraft. More details have emerged and broadcast live images, and the two students sat stunned in front of the American screen. John did not know his father was flying from Newark to San Francisco to take a deposition.
He called his mother. They were not sure, but now may be on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. That was 3 or 4 in the morning in Australia when he received word that John, yes, his father was on United 93. He was heading to San Francisco Bay area, and shortly after moved to New York area, before he planned to take a sabbatical year in India with his second wife and 5-year-old daughter to work in the Ashram.
John scouring the Internet and television, but found mostly in the details of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
With the closure of air travel in the United States a broad campaign to cover the distance, and get the home took four days. Finally arrived in Los Angeles, and met with his brother 18 years, Chris, who was about to begin the new year of Loyola Marymount, and the mother, who lives in a suburb of Sacramento, California, of Carmichael. Flew them to the east coast - and perhaps Washington, and possibly New York, John does not mention - and joined a step-sister Sonali and her mother, Kimi.
Weeks later, the Warriors donated $ 25,000 to the family fund Alan Beaven, with Antawn Jamison ahead with the last $ 10,000, and hosted Beavens seats in the opening speech of the regular home season against the Suns.
John finished the season with a great team in San Diego, California baseball game. Before every game he pitched - and that the ball is going around the infield following his last throws of friendly - drew the initials "AB" at the bottom of the slope of the mound. Graduated in 2002 with a degree in biology, and was signed by Toronto Blue Jays out of the camp, and encamped workout one season with the team the University Rookie of the Hudson Valley, New York Stay in touch with a few people in the office and Warriors «Front met for the first time tribute during the 11/09 team.
Everything was when John knew baseball career ended, he wanted to stay in the sport. He had no idea what to do. The reaction was when he called Executive Warriors, Travis Stanley, to ask if anyone there is a connection with the political axis, call to Auckland Beaven talk about ticket sales functionality.
That was nearly nine years ago.
"It seems strange that I got this opportunity that is now a large part of who I am what I went through," he said.
Beaven has increased the season ticket account executive sales manager group sales manager for the group to the current role as Executive Director of ticket sales. He is 31 and married. Chris is 28. Sonali is 15 and living with Kimi in Santa Barbara, California, having been home about two miles from the headquarters of the Warriors.
It is scheduled to be all in the state of Pennsylvania this weekend for the celebrations and the unveiling of a new memorial at the site of the crash. John is going to his family, but also knowing that he may be struck by the unexpected moment of emotion. The events of 11 / 9, he said, is not fixed in his mind.
"It will be two days long and emotional day," said Beaven. "But I also know it's the anniversary of 10 years. It would mean a lot to many people, and I'm sure it will mean a lot to me as well. With the approach of the date we actually receive it, and I'm sure that there will be some things that come."
There will be John - to his family more than anything - and then he would return to the Gulf region to continue to prepare for the season, hopes to come. He wants to move forward to identify him.

September 11 2001

On September 8, 2001, I was in Oklahoma City to cover the annual convention of the Mid-South Booksellers Association for Publishers Weekly. My wife came with me out of curiosity and a desire to see the recently opened memorial to the 168 people killed when Timothy McVeigh planted a truck bomb in front of the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995, at the time, the bloodiest terrorist attack in US history. The memorial - which consists of giant bronze gates, a reflecting pool, and a field of empty chairs - was enormously moving; seen at night, the chairs are lit from below and look as if they are floating, making it look like a concert hall for an audience that will never arrive. Later, as I was checking my carry-on through the metal detector at the airport in Oklahoma City when I commented to my wife that security seemed especially strict, especially for such a small city; then, when I was forced to eat BBQ from the airport concession using plastic utensils, I complained. The lady behind the counter had a terse, but not unsympathetic reply: "Terrorism, sweetheart." Two days later, as I watched the Twin Towers fall from the window at my office in New York, I began to understand what she meant. September 11, 2001 Many of us who worked at Publishers Weekly were witnesses that day. Our offices were on 17th Street and 8th Avenue about a mile or two uptown, and we had south-facing windows, giving us a full view as the first tower fell and then, a short time later, the second. I had been one of the first in the office that morning, there a bit early for a 9 am meeting, but moments after I sat at my desk in my cubicle, my phone rang. It was my wife telling me to go look out the window since the television was reporting that a "small plane had hit the World Trade Center." I asked where she was calling from - my wife worked on Rector Street, two blocks from the World Trade Center - but she was still at home, luckily, late for work. Someone turned on the television in the conference room and people gasped as reports came in about the crashes in Washington and in Pennsylvania. People feared another plane was hijacked; some worried about one hitting the Empire State Building or the Rainbow Room, where Warner Books had planned a launch party for Jack Welch's Straight from the Gut. Word reached us that nearby St. Vincent's Hospital wanted volunteers to go and give blood, as they were expecting a wave of survivors. One of the women editors stood transfixed at the window, crying; a male editor, a native New Yorker who'd used the towers his whole life to orient himself on the island - kept repeating repeated, "It's gone, I can't believe it's ... just gone. "Someone came back from St. Vincent's and said that no one was coming from the site of the fallen towers. There weren't waves of survivors or wounded. Eventually, people started making arrangements to just try and get home.

Two Kurd rebels killed in Iran army clashes

Two Iranian Kurdish rebels based in Iraq were killed during hours of clashes with Tehran's forces along the two countries' border, a rebel spokesman said on Sunday.

The fighting, which also saw four rebel fighters wounded, comes less than a week after the Islamic Republic warned that it reserved the right to attack the bases of the PJAK, or the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan, in neighbouring Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region.

"Since midnight (2100 GMT Saturday), heavy battles have been ongoing between PJAK and the Iranian army, resulting in injuries among elements of our group," rebel spokesman Sherzad Kamankar told AFP.

Kamankar said two rebels were killed and four wounded, and added that fighting was still ongoing.

He said many Iranian soldiers had been killed and wounded in the fighting near the Banjaween area of Iraqi Kurdistan's Sulaimaniyah province, but this could not be independently confirmed.

Jabbar Yawar, the top official in the Iraqi Kurdish ministry responsible for the region's peshmerga security forces, confirmed Iranian shelling of PJAK bases, but said he had received no reports of clashes and had no casualty toll.

According to Kamankar, Iranian forces have warned villagers living in areas along Iraq's side of the border to evacuate their homes within three days. Yawar, however, dismissed the claim as a "rumour".

Iran routinely shells border districts of the Kurdish region of northern Iraq, targeting PJAK bases, including a July 7 bombardment of Haj Omran.

The shelling came despite a warning on July 3 by the president of Iraqi Kurdistan, Massud Barzani, over the cross-border operations.

On July 11, Iran's official IRNA news agency quoted an unnamed army official as saying Tehran's forces "reserve the right to attack and destroy terrorist bases in border areas". (AFP)

Breaking Bad Season 4

It was more than a year since the last episode aired to break the bad, leaving fans to stew for months about how Walt and Jesse were on their way out of the latest products link.

Try our favorite cooks meth when we saw them last, to get them the upper hand against their president by eliminating compatriot Gail Cook to ensure their place in the organization and available only producers of high quality products. This was the account is not entirely correct, but the leaders of the crime, such as Gus is not the kind of men that like in cases of necessity and Walt and Jesse certainly raised beehives mighty.

Chapter fourth season the show, “Cutter box,” is a wonderful exercise in tension and keep the episodes that follow this matter as in all the main character seems to have passed the breaking point major. Desperate to maintain control of their destiny, Walt continues to entertain more concepts of criminal activity, skipping toward the land a black hat with a worrying amount of fun. Jesse puts on a brave face, but after the death of Gail clearly hurt him. Continue with its plans to buy a car wash, Skyler increasingly dealing with her husband’s illegal activities. Of course, Hank, is still struggling with his injuries, and take all the frustration of Mary, which can only take so much.

All of these episodes the opening note of the pitch is perfect, and at the slow escalation of what seems to be a strong season is remarkable. It’s great, especially to see Skyler become more immersed in the business. Anna Gunn has always been great, but sometimes appear, and struggling to find a place and it really blossoms as they take control of the business side of Walt criminal enterprise. Interestingly, the son of “White, Walter Jr. is missing in the first three episodes of the season, and it would be curious to see how his or her parents manage to keep their secrets from you now is that everyone involved in it.

In the long wait proved to be worthy of the fourth season of breaking bad continues to prove that this is one of the best shows on television.
