Amazon may not be streaming the Kindle event so everyone can watch from home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a sneak peak at some of Amazon’s Kindle announcements this morning.

At 1:30 Easter, 10:30 Pacific, Amazon is hosting an Event in California to unveil the company’s new line of eReaders and, according to the latest rumors, show off a first look at the Amazon phone.

After the company pulled links to the Kindle Fire and Kindle Touch from the main navigation in the Amazon Kindle Store, leaving the Kindle, Kindle Keyboard and Kindle DX.

Kindle Fire 2 & PaperWhite Kindle Reader Video

Last night Amazon’s latest Kindle commercial aired during a Special Wednesday Night Football kickoff event, possibly outing the Kindle Fire 2 and the new Kindle with Paperwhite technology. At the end, the woman in a hammock appears to be holding a larger Kindle Fire, but this may turn out to be a visual trick, and not a larger Kindle Fire 2.

We wonder if this ad was supposed to kick off during Thursday night football, or if it was a teaser all along.

Paperwhite Kindle Reader

At the forefront of Amazon’s new Kindle family is the Paperwhite Kindle Fire, a new Kindle with a backlit display. This is one of the most requested features I’ve heard from Kindle owners who are sick of clipping lights to their Kindles and spending $60 on a case with a light.

Kindle Touch Paperwhite

Claimed Kindle Touch with Paperwhite screen.

The new Kindle Touch with Paperwhite screen technology first leaked in late August to The Verge. These new images show a Kindle Touch that looks much like the current model, but with revamped screen specs.

We expect more than a backlit display, the leaked images include one page boasting a higher contrast, higher resolution and eight weeks of battery life.

Kindle Fire 2

With the Kindle Fire out of stock, Amazon is sure to announce at least one new Kindle Fire this morning. The commercial last night showed off at least one new Kindle Fire, and possibly a larger Kindle Fire 2 at the end.

The Kindle Fire 2 should arrive with a 7-inch model, like the current version, with a new design and better specs. Rumors point to a front facing video camera and microphone for video chat as well as an updated user interface, possibly a customized version of Android 4.0.

Kindle Fire 2

This may be the Kindle Fire 2.

The Kindle Fire is only available in a 7-inch model with WiFi, but Amazon may be preparing a larger 10-inch Kindle Fire for the announcement later today. In the video we see what appears to be a larger Kindle Fire device, and rumors up to this point indicate a pair of tablets.

Read: What the Kindle Fire Needs to Beat the Nexus 7

CNet reports that Amazon is planning to offer two 7-inch tablets instead of the larger tablet, one of which will include an HMDI port, more storage and a faster processor.

The Wall Street Journal claims Amazon is going to introduce the Kindle Fire with Special Offers, an ad supported Kindle Fire with a reduced price. The Kindle eInk readers show ads on the screen when the device is sleeping, but it’s not clear how a Kindle Fire with Special Offers would display ads to users.

While rumors of a Kindle Fire 2 with a cellular connection surfaced earlier this year we haven’t heard any recent leaks about a Kindle Fire with 3G or 4G LTE.

Amazon Phone

More than just an Appstore, a phone.

The Amazon phone, or perhaps the Kindle Phone, is rumored as often as  Facebook phone, but The Verge claims in a report posted late yesterday that the Amazon phone is real, and it may arrive at today’s press event.

An Amazon phone is said to run a modified version of Android 4.0 with Nokia Maps, but no other details were revealed.

It’s difficult to see the selling points of an Amazon phone when most of the Amazon ecosystem is available on Android phones as they currently stand. This phone will need more than just access to Amazon Instant videos for Amazon to be successful.

Stay tuned for our coverage of the Amazon Kindle event when it kicks off later today.

The Too Faced Sweet Peach Collection Is Everything and You Need It Now

There is nothing not to love about the Sweet Peach collection. For the Lip Gloss (YASS!) to the peachy wonder that is a beautiful crease to the glow of a good cheek, you've got to grab it.

Let's start with the superstar, The Sweet Peach Eye Shadow Collection Palette. ($49.00) This palette gives you eighteen shades that aren't brown. I was starting to think that may never happen again, but hallelujah, the non-browns are back! (Don't worry, this palette has enough neutrals to keep you covered.)

Peach is one of those universal colors that looks amazing on everyone and when rimmed with the perfect purple, it's just magical. The pigments are everything you'd expect from Too Faced, with no weird fall out, patchy colors or fading. Each shade wears and blends beautifully. The shades my fair skin and blue eyes can't live without? Candied Peach, Just Peachy and Talk Derby to Me.

Candied Peach is the quintessential color you'd expect in this palette. It's that perfect peachy tone that makes a crease look GOOD. Just Peachy is the it color of the moment, popping up everywhere. It's coral with an extra splash of peach and perfect for a simple lid color. It universally wakes up all eye colors and just looks innocent. Talk Derby to Me is deep purple with flecks of iridescent shimmer; it makes for a beautiful liner, especially when used wet.

Let's get cheeky, shall we? The Sweet Peach Glow Palette ($42.00) serves up a highlight, contour and cheek shade where one size truly fits all.

These cheek hues are a little harder than normal powders and I'm not sure why. Maybe to retain the imprinting on the powder? Either way, when you apply with a brush, you'll get a kiss of color that can't overdo it.

Papa Don't Peach ($30.00) is a lovely blush/highlighter that also looks amazing on the eyes. If you don't need more highlighters or contour colors, you'll want to keep this baby--if you can find it. It's already sold out online.

Let's discuss the non-liquid lipstick, non-matte Creamy Peach Oil Lip Gloss. These glosses are my new obsession. The formula is fantastic. It's a burst of color and peach flavor that never leaves your lips thirsty. These lip glosses feel fresh and light, never goopy, thick or sticky. The pigments are more sheer, which dovetails into the perfect spring color.

To me, the standout shades are Peach Tease for its bright take on peach and Tickle Me Peach, which goes a little watermelon. These work really well as "lip toppers", too. If you want a bright pout, you'll have to use them over a liner or lipstick, as each one is more sheer than pigmented. ($19.00 each)

This is Zayde, hanging out in the studio while taking photos, just in case we needed him.
You can follow his shenanigans here, if you like.

And finally, let's discuss the giant fruit in the room.

I'm talking 'bout the smell of this collection. It's a little much for me. I love sweet things and if you've been a GX reader since I was a redhead, you know how gaga I can go over anything peach. But the scent of the collection is something else. Some have said it's a bit cloying, a bit overpowering. And it is certainly a bit strong. But you can't smell it once it's on your face. Sure, you can taste it in the Lip Oils, but I actually like that. So should the power of the peachy scent stop you from wearing this collection? Nope to the nope!

This collection is available online NOW and hits stores on January 6. What do you think? Or are you holding out for the Peanut Butter Honey collection?

  1. Will you show us some pics of you wearing it? It'll look so cute on you :) Pleeeease :D

  2. I love too faced not just because of its quality but also for the fact that they don't encourage animal cruelty. A lot of internet blogs say that too faced is completely cruelty free in nature -

    waiting for your thoughts. :)

    1. Hi Archie! So being CF is a tricky status. I believe the brand does it's best to avoid animal testing. The products sold in the US are not tested on animals to my knowledge. If sold in other markets, they may require testing. The truth behind animal testing statuses is really hard to track down, because I don't know where they source their ingredients from, so all we have is their word. For now, I have to believe Jerrod when he says he does not test on animals.

Kejriwal is new Hitler, says Shanti Bhushan

Don’t gloat over expulsion: Bhushan and Yadav should build alternative civil society movement

GN Bureau | April 21, 2015

#AAP   #aam aadmi party   #Prashant Bhushan   #Yogendra Yadav   #Arvind Kejriwal   #Shanti Bhushan   #expulsion

A dignified exit would have been better. But when you have power everything is fair and end justifies means.  The expulsion episode is something this new political party could have taken care to avoid.  Aam Aadmi Party's national disciplinary committee on Monday expelled its founder-leaders Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav along with Anand Kumar and Ajit Jha for alleged “anti-party activities and gross indiscipline".

"I am not surprised as from the past few days the matter was moving in such direction. Though, I also cannot deny the fact that I am deeply hurt by it. How would you feel if someone drags and throws you out of your own house," Yadav was quoted by the media.

But what is surprising is the sour grapes remark of the rebels. Bhushan and Yadav on Tuesday said that they made a huge mistake in not identifying the true colours of Arvind Kejriwal.

Read More: Don’t be complainant and judge, Prashant Bhushan tells AAP’s disciplinary panel chief

Even Shanti Bhushan, father of Prashant Bhushan, said, "We made a mistake in identifying Arvind Kejriwal. It is a very serious mistake as to what kind of person he is. He is the new Hitler."

There is no point is crying hoarse and displaying naïve judgement. The rebel leaders should stick to their stand and build the movement as Delhi needs an alternative to Kejriwal. The civil society movement cannot be monopoly of one slogan and one person.

AAP decision process
The national disciplinary committee met on April 20, at 6 pm at 514, VP House to decide on the complaints against Yadav, Bhushan, Kumar and Jha. The committee received the responses of Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar while Jha failed to furnish his response within the prescribed time. The committee carefully considered responses furnished by Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar and found them unsatisfactory.

The committee reached the unanimous conclusion that Yadav, Bhushan and Kumar had indulged in ''gross indiscipline and anti-party activities''. They have violated the Code of Conduct detailed in Article VI A (a) of Party's Constitution.

The committee was of the view that Jha had failed to furnish his response in a stipulated time despite sufficient time at his disposal.

After examining the evidence put before it, the committee was of the unanimous view that Jha was also guilty of gross indiscipline and indulging in anti-party activities. The committee, therefore, decided to expel all the four members from the party.

In chapter 34, WHO ARE THE 3 MEN he is referring to?

As examples, he discusses the lives and careers of three men, only one of whom succeeded in traversing life's ups and downs. A person's life, he maintains, can be measured by the feelings of those left behind.

Who is Steinbeck referring to? Or one of the characters?

The three men are not mentioned by name, all we know is that Croesus was NOT mentioned; so we have the richest man, the smartest man, and the man devoted to promoting good.....

"Solon told him of three lucky people in old times. And Croesus more than likely did not listen, so anxious was he about himself. And when Solon did not mention him, Croesus was forced to say, “Do you not consider me lucky?”

I remember clearly the deaths of three men. One was the richest man of the century, who, having clawed his way to wealth through the souls and bodies of men, spent many years trying to buy back the love he had forfeited and by that process performed great service to the world and, perhaps, had much more than balanced the evils of his rise. I was on a ship when he died. The news was posted on the bulletin board, and nearly everyone received the news with pleasure. Several said, “Thank God that son of a bitch is dead.”

Then there was a man, smart as Satan, who, lacking some perception of human dignity and knowing all too well every aspect of human weakness and wickedness, used his special knowledge to warp men, to buy men to bribe and threaten and seduce until he found himself in a position of great power. He clothed his motives in the names of virtue, and I have wondered whether he ever knew that no gift will ever buy back a man’s love when you have removed his self-love. A bribed man can only hate his briber. When this man died the nation rang with praise and, just beneath, with gladness that he was dead.

There was a third man, who perhaps made many errors in performance but whose effective life was devoted to making men brave and dignified and good in a time when they were poor and frightened and when ugly forced were loose in the world to utilize their fears. This man was hated by the few. When he died the people burst into tears in the streets and their minds wailed, “What can we do now? How can we go on without him?”

Seashell Crafts They'll Love

Turn the seashells that you and the grandkids collect into beautiful treasures.

By Emily Miranda

For Toddlers and Preschoolers:

Toddlers love to make messes, and creating this craft is sure to  please them. Follow the instructions below to have the kids make a beautiful picture frame. To contain the mess, work in a dishpan.

  • Picture frame with a wide border, at least 1.5 inches wide
  • 4 to 12 large seashells
  • Large bag of tiny shells, equaling at least three big handfuls (if you have not collected enough, hobby stores sell wonderful bags of them)
  • Elmer's glue
  • Shallow, rubber dishpan
  • Rough sandpaper
  • Scrap paper

  1. Remove the picture glass from the frame. Place a piece of scrap paper inside the frame where you would insert a photograph. This will protect the area from glue smudges and shell fragments.
  2. Use the rough sandpaper to scratch liberally all over the front and sides of the frame. This will provide a “tooth” for the glue to hold onto.
  3. Place the frame inside the rubber dishpan. This will be the work area.
  4. Allow your preschooler to squeeze puddles of glue onto the frame and place the large shells in the puddles.
  5. Wait for the glue to dry. To speed up the process, place the frame in a sunny or breezy place. You know the glue is dry when it is clear.
  6. Now for the really fun part! Allow your grandchild to squirt the glue all over both the shells and frame. The child can completely cover the whole frame in glue.
  7. Take handfuls of the small shells and sprinkle them all over the glue. Pour as many as you have, patting them into the glue puddles as you go. Take the ones that fall off into the dishpan and press them into the glue again! Keep mushing them in every direction until there is little or no glue left visible. Keep a reserve of about a cup’s worth of shells.
  8. Allow the frame to fully dry without moving or touching.
  9. When dry, have your grandchild pick up the frame up and shake it upside down over the dishpan. Pick up the loose shells that fall and add them to the ones you reserved.
  10. If there are any bare spots where the frame still shows, squirt glue in those spots and employ the same technique as before with the reserved shells. Let dry again.
  11. Repeat step 10 until you run out of shells. You should end up with a wonderfully encrusted picture frame and a very messy dishpan!

For Gradeschoolers:

Use the shells that you often discard because of their imperfection: ones with holes. Combined with a string of costume pearls, your grandchild can create a magical necklace from the sea!

  • Costume pearl necklace
  • 5 to 20 seashells with holes
  • Heavy duty sewing thread
  • Pushpin
  • Scissors

  1. Pour the seashells onto a table or tray. Sort through and find the ones with holes in them. The holes are best if they are at the top, but any will do.
  2. Cut 6-inch lengths of the heavy duty thread — one for each shell you have selected.
  3. Pass the thread through the holes of each shell and tie a double knot on one end, right onto to the top of the shell. If the hole is too small for you to easily get the thread through, use the pushpin to gently enlarge it.
  4. When you have attached all the seashells to a length of thread, you are ready to put together the necklace.
  5. Open the clasp on the strand of costume pearls and lay the necklace flat on the table in a straight horizontal line. Find the center of the necklace. Take your largest shell and tie the loose end of the thread between two pearls in the middle.
  6. Tie the next 2 largest shells on either side of the largest shell in the center. Hang the next size shells on either side of them, working your way out to the edges of the pearl necklace. The smallest shells should be at the ends of the necklace.
  7. Adjust the length of the strings as you try the necklace on. It is sometimes nice to have the smaller shells hang from a shorter string.

For Older Grandchildren:

Transform an old box into a magical pirate chest by decorating it with seashells!

  • Old, small box with lid (a cigar box is perfect, but any small box will do)
  • Seashells
  • Hot glue gun
  • Hot glue sticks
  • Marker

Note: Hot glue is hard to remove once it has dried; plan your design carefully before you begin.

  1. Organize the shells, according to size, shape, and color. The kinds of shells you have will play a big role in your design. The ones you have most will be your "filler" shells, covering most of the box. The ones you have fewest perhaps will go on the corners. If you have any special shells, use them for the focal point on the top.
  2. Draw your design on the box with the marker. Remember to design with your seashells in mind.
  3. Start gluing. Begin with the corners. Glue in place any large or special shells. Then fill in around them with your smaller, "filler" shells.
  4. Fill in all empty spaces with shells. Add any additional shells as you see fit. There can never be too many!

Forgot to measure my trailer deck this morning but I will tomorrow. I would be willing to let me trailer go as well to a perspective buyer. I paid 3,200 for this trailer in June I would let it go for $2,500 with the Jeep. It has two trips on it one to Silver Lake and one to Traverse City.

Brakes on both axles
Break away kit
stow ramps in rear
Steel Deck
3,500 lb axles

Also any extra/spare parts I have in the garage that go to the Jeep come with it; spare rear axle shafts, soft top parts etc...

The Greek Austerity Myth

by Daniel Gros

Project Syndicate

February 10, 2015

Since the anti-austerity Syriza party's victory in Greece's recent general election, the “Greek problem" is again preoccupying markets and policymakers throughout Europe. Some fear a return to the uncertainty of 2012, when many thought that a Greek default and exit from the eurozone were imminent. Then as now, many worry that a Greek debt crisis could destabilize – and perhaps even bring down – Europe's monetary union. But this time really is different.

One critical difference lies in economic fundamentals. Over the last two years, the eurozone's other peripheral countries have proven their capacity for adjustment, by reducing their fiscal deficits, expanding exports, and moving to current-account surpluses, thereby negating the need for financing. Indeed, Greece is the only one that has consistently dragged its feet on reforms and sustained abysmal export performance.

Providing an additional shield to the peripheral countries is the European Central Bank's plan to begin purchasing sovereign bonds. Though the German government does not officially support quantitative easing, it should be grateful to the ECB for calming financial markets. Now Germany can take a tough stance on the new Greek government's demands for a large-scale debt write-off and an end to austerity, without fearing the kind of financial-market turbulence that in 2012 left the eurozone with little choice but to bail out Greece.

National Nutrition Month Celebrated at Green Hill with Cooking Presentation

President/Executive Director Green Hill Inc.

National Nutrition Month Celebrated at Green Hill with Cooking Presentation

March is National Nutrition Month® sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The annual event is “when the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reminds everyone to return to the basics of healthy eating. It is also the time of year when the Academy celebrates expertise of registered dietitian nutritionists as the food and nutrition experts.”

The theme for 2017, “Put Your Best Fork Forward, acts as a reminder that each bite counts. Making just small shifts in our food choices, can add up over time.” Focusing on nutrient dense foods instead of empty calories goes a long way to providing the body with the energy it needs to remain healthy and help control hunger throughout the day. Whole fruits, low fat dairy, nuts, whole grains, lean meats, legumes and lots of fresh vegetables are all delicious choices for healthy menus. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics also reminds us that how much you eat is as important as what you eat. Remember the adage, calories in calories out? The more you move the more you can eat. Green Hill recommends seniors and caregivers find activities that you enjoy and stay active.

At Green Hill, Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist Michiko Tomioka and Chef Jomar Bras kicked off Nutrition Month with a presentation on nutrition dense foods on March 7. Michiko and Jomar served samples of not so guilty pleasures as the Saint Patrick’s Day Shake and Guilt Free Chocolate Mousse.  The ingredients for the shake included: bananas, skim or lactaid milk, spinach, cinnamon, lemon and matcha (green tea) powder, a great antioxidant.  The ingredients for the mousse included: avocados, bittersweet chocolate, and coconut oil.

At Green Hill residents enjoy healthy and delicious European service meals three time daily in the Legacy Building and home cooked meals in the Green House® Homes, along with a full array of tasty snacks throughout the day. Residents also participate in exercise and wellness classes, and enjoy walks and rolls around the beautiful 23-acre campus in West Orange, New Jersey.

Green Hill recognizes our wonderful dining staff and our Registered Dietician/Nutritionist Michiko Tomioka and Chef Jomar Bras on National Nutrition Month!

God's Blog #1 What's In A Name
by Ian R Thorpe 4 September August 2009

Hello, God here. Am I getting through to any of you? I just don't know where some people get their ideas from.

One recent prayer accused me of being a miserable old bastard who only ever laughs when he is smiting someone. You are getting me mixed up with the God of Abraham; you know, the one who doesn't allow dancing. His followers are afraid to have a knee trembler in case he thinks they are dancing I'm told.

Obviousdly a few things need clearing up so I though I would get one of these blogs as it seems a good way of reaching a few of you. Let's start at the beginning. You probably expect me to say that I am the one true God and you shall have no other Gods but me. That's nonsense. There are lots of Gods, most of them are the true God, in fact most of them are me.

The confusion comes about because of that effing book. All the way through it talks about the one true God, and yet there are three in it, two of us real and one a phoney. There is the God of Creation. He hasn't been around for a long time, some people say he is dead but I think he is on the other side of the universe creating new worlds as we speak.

Then there is the bloke with the fuck off beard who turns up in all the pictures, you do not want to get mixed up with him, he's a nutter. He hates women and wants you to think you were only created to kiss his arse. Then there is me, the Oneness, the Force, the Great Spirit, and I'm a nice guy, tolerant, forgiving, I enjoy music, dancing, good food, literature, art, the Jerry Springer show (but only to see how many crazy ways pentecostalists can find to insult me) and hanging around with pretty females. I like the greek goddesses best, that Aphrodite is a real hottie, I love the way Hebe handles those peacocks, Athena is great if you like a bit of intellect with your glamour, sort of Ann Coulter with wings, and Hera, well Hera is a proper lady.

The Norse girls are fun too but the Celts are a bit firey, especially Morrigan and she always has her hounds of hell following her around. My favourite though is that Hindu girl with six arms. Boy does she know some great tricks.

So there, you can go with the God of Abraham who was invented by men to keep women in order and who forbids everything except glorifying him, or you can stick with me and do more or less anything so long as you are not mean and spiteful and selfish and so long as you are willing to offer a helping hand to people who need it. See I might be a tolerant god but that's mostly because I don't care what you do. Do what you like, its your conscience you have to live with. Just don't come crying to me if somebody does back to you all the nasty stuff you've done to others. I don't give a shite OK. And don't tell people you're acting on my behalf. I don't let anybody act on my behalf. I will no more ask you to do weird things like sacrificing your firstborn son to prove you love me than a reputable bank wil send you an e-mail asking you to enter your account number and password for an online security check.

What's that? Not fair coz I'm supposed to e there for you, your help in ages past, your hope for years to come. Feck off! I never made any deal like that. Don't feck me about and I won't smite you, that's the only deal I offer.

If you decide to follow me, don't go around doing things in my name please, that is just trying to get everyone to like you and think you are a good person and so it is selfish. When you do something do it because it is the right thing to do, or the best that you can do in the circumstances. What is hard to understand about that?

People have trouble with my name. For some reason they think there is a problem about saying it. Well I don't actually have a name, you see this is where priests go wrong. They say "tell us your name O Lord," I answer "can't, haven't got one" And they go off thinking there is something awesome about my name, like you will be struck dead if you mention it. But being infinite and eternal you see, I have no parents (awww - go on, say aww, you would if I was a puppy in a Disney cartoon,) so nobody ever gave me a name. You can call me whatever you like, although there is no need to go silly with something like Qzlkzxlczxtl or Chimminychingapatam, Fred or Sam will do nicely. Overcomplicating me does not get you any brownie points you know.

So we've sorted that I don't care what you do but I don't approve of a lot of it either. I'm indifferent, that all. It's a bummer OK, but who thinks I've got time to be chasing six billion people around wiping their arses for them. Don't come along saying Oh Dagda, you have to help us, life is so hard. Yeah, life is hard. Tough, deal with it. And don't go swallowing that sentimental shite you are fed by preachers, stuff like: there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over a lot of righteous souls. So how much rejoicing is there exactly. I'll tell you. Last week a sinner repented. I was so happy I did not know whether to shit or go blind! Now you know. I don't fecking care, alright.

Boat Migrants Landing in Italy ‘at a Pace Exceeding Anything We’ve Seen Before’
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates 20,484 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea since the beginning of 2017, with numbers now averaging around 3000 per day and increasing as spring brings better weather. These numbers put Italian arrivals well ahead of the total for the first three months of 2015 (10,165) and the first three months of 2016 (18,777)

How to stop Google tracking your every move

OK, it could possibly be because you are paranoid but more likely you’ve noticed a few things that are just beyond creepy when you are using the web and particularly Google services.

Chemtrails Exposed - NASA has admitted weather modification experiments

Australian Aborigines and Eurasians Left Africa at the same time?

EU punishes Turkey For Repairing Relations With NATO Public Enemy No1 Russia
Leaving aside the current spat between The Netherlands and Turkey which is a different thing altogether, The EU’s diplomatic service is currently trying to punish Turkey for seeking better relations with Russia, after their supporting different sides in the Syria conflict brought the two nations close to war. It is true that NATO member Turkey has recently shown less commitment to the West, but there are probably good reasons for this ...

Does It matter If The Dollar Is Replaced?
While mainstream media in the developed world continues to agonise over the Trump presidency, the rise of nationalism in Europe and the threat they pose to the global elite, important changes are happening within the strategic triangle of Russia, Iran and China, which has been engaged in economic manoeuvres to replace the US dollar as global reserve currency for a decade.

White Girl Is Burned Alive, 17 Black Gang Members Arrested. Mainstream Media Blanks The Story Remember how the Social Justice Warriors of the politically correct 'left' screamed when a young black man named Trayvon Martin was shot by Hispanic George Zimmerman, because it was assumed someone named Zimmerman would be white?

A congressional investigation has revealed that the Obama administration channeled billions of dollars to activist groups through a Department of Justice slush fund scheme. “It’s clear partisan politics played a role in the illicit actions that were made,” Republican Representative John Ratcliffe of Texas told Fox News. “The DOJ is the last place this should have occurred.” more >>>

Donald Trump Just Exposed Obama for HORRIBLE Crime! HERE IS THE PROOF!!
As the first scandal to hit the Trump Administration, the truped-up accusations that team members had contact with Russia was splashed over mainstream media, American liberals were quick to claim (dishonestly) that the Obama administration had been scandal free. The “scandal-free” Obama’s may finally have just been caught red-handed.

Jacob Rothschild Says Putin “A Traitor To The New World Order”

Jacob Rothschild, patriarch of the megarich banking family, and a leading proponent of the drive to create a global authoritarian government made up of people drawn from the corporate and financial elite, has accused Russian president Vladimir Putin of being a "traitor to the New World Order".

Katie Hopkins Reports From Hellacious Sweden, ‘Where Females Fear to Tread’
A news feed filled with reports of the rape and assault of Sweden’s young women, some inexplicably streamed live on Facebook by the gang as they attacked. Other reports filed quietly away in a box marked unmentionable: the rape of a 12-year-old unaccompanied immigrant by a so called fellow 'unaccompanied minor' immigrant who later bragged he was 45.

Junk Food Killing Kids? We often hear about the plague of obesity from talking – head ‘nutrition experts’ on TV, but less is said about the other problem caused by a diet of junk food. On a typical teenager’s diet it is possible to develop both obesity and malnutrition. On the flip side, you have malnutrition. According to the United Nations (UN) special rapporteur, Hilal Elver, Ph.D., the impact of processed food on public health is “alarming.”

Report casts new doubts on WETC official story The controversy goes on, fifteen years later. While it ought to be obvious even to the most casual observer that the way the twin towers collapsed on 9/11 did not look as if it could be the result of a random strike (and Tower 7 was not hit by anything - well a careless sparrow maybe,) many people who should know better but are in awe of authority continue to scream conspiracy theorist at even those well qualified to challlence the official narrative.

Oslo Police Declare “We Have Lost the City”…Islam Has Taken Over
While attention has been focused on Sweden because of remarks made by US President Donald Trump, the apocalyptic level of culturally-enriched violence in neighbouring Norway and particularly in Grønland, a district of the capital city of Oslo. After years of unchecked immigration it looks more like Karachi, Basra, and Mogadishu all rolled into one than part of a Scandinavian capital. People sell drugs openly just next to the Grønland subway station.

American Journalists Who Travelled To Sweden To Debunk Trumps Comments About Migrant Violence Run Out Of Town by Migrants
Two journalists from Chicago who had travelled to Sweden with the intention of debunking Donald Trump's allegations that in Sweden's cities there are many immigrant dominated suburbs that have become trouble spots and 'no - go zones' for Europeans and that the country is a dangerous place to visit had to be given a police escort so they could safely leave an immigrant neighbourhood in Stockholm.

Courts Quietly Confirm MMR Vaccine Causes Autism
After decades of passionate debate, parents probably missed the repeated admissions by drug companies and governments alike that vaccines do in fact cause autism. For concerned parents seeking the truth, it’s worth remembering that the exact same people who own the world’s drug companies also own America’s news outlets. Finding propaganda-free information has been difficult, until now.

CIA Admists Using fake News To Subvert Democracy For Decades
Newly-declassified documents show that a senior CIA agent and Deputy Director of the Directorate of Intelligence worked closely with the owners and journalists of many of the largest media outlets.

The War On Cash Intensifies In Response To Trump and Brexit
It appears Europe is charging towards a cashless society. Just days after Davos’ elites discussed why the world needs to “get rid of currency,” the European Commission has introduced a proposal enforcing “restrictions on payments in cash.” – because only terrorists and drug-dealers need cash (nothing at all to do with totalitarian control over a nation’s wealth) – we are not surprised that this proposal from the European Commission would appear…

French Finance Minister Says UK’s May Is Not In A Position To Negotiate With Trump You have to wonder just who the testicularly deficient little pen pusher of the failing EuroNazi project think they are.

They may have got away with it while cottaging Prime Minister Blair or Old Etonian bum boy Cameron were in charge ...

‘Integrate or Leave’: As Wilders Surges in Polls Dutch PM Ramps Up Migrant Rhetoric

Just one day after polls which gave Geert Wilders’s insurgent populist party a nine-point lead on the ruling conservatives, Prime Minister Rutte took out a full page advert and spoke in an interview with Dutch daily Algemeen Dagblad to tell migrants they should integrate or leave, and to issue a call for a return to “common decency”.

Soros Is Responsible for Europe's Immigration Crisis Says Hungary's Viktor Orban
With Britain's Conservative Government pressing ahead with a 'hard Brexit agenda, and the Trump administration setting abou demolishing the expressway to socialism Barack Obama had spent eight years contruction, there is a lot of speculation and precious little hard evidence to indicate where the globalist elite, having seen their ambition for a world government thwarted will go next.

The role of cosmic electric currents in earth’s climate
If you’ve been following the growth of the Electric Universe movement, you know that this growth is due largely to the power of a new paradigm to explain things left unexplained by conventional theory.

Nor is it surprising to see the electric force at work close to home, both in the sculpting of planetary surfaces and in the evolution of life on earth ...

The Reality Of Globalism - World Trade Has Increased By Less Than 1% Annually In The Last Decade
There can be little doubt that 2016 was the year the great pushback against globalisation and the push towards an authoritarian world government (NWO) really got off the ground. Fears that the world is on the edge of rejecting globalization and a global economy, with its false promise of prosperity for all and its reality of an ever widening gap between rich and poor have dominated ...

World Bank Aims to Hand Over Seed Industry to Agribusiness
Today Donald Trump will be inaugurated as 45h President of The United States, his victory in the November election having been a major setback to those dark forces that give the impression only one more big push was needed to drive the world into accepting a global authoritarian government. Trump's victory, combined with 'Brexit' the vote by British citizens to leave the EU, combined to make 2026 a bad year for the globalists.

Former UK Ambassador Says Obama's 'Russian Hacking' Claims Are Bullshit

An Item In Todays News About US Gov't Internet Security Hack has Tipped Our Editor Over The Edge
The US election was on November 8, by November 12 it should have gone away, but the Democrats, proven crooks and liars who crookedly rigged their own selection process to cheat a man who could have beaten Trump out of the nomination and ensure their candidate was the traitor, war criminal, liar, AND head of the Clinton Crime Syndicate Hillary Clinton as their candidate.

Democrats Russia Hacked Us and Failed Recount Campaign is Political Suicide.

Oxford University wants to turn English into a sterilized Orwellian language
Oxford University, one of the oldest universities in the world and, one might think, the 'home' of the English language is now, it seems, engaged in a New World Order campaign to destroy the English Language. It appears the finest young minds in society are so deeply offended by words that remind them men and women are biologically they, backed by their fuckwitted Marxist lecturers and professors, are demanding gender specific pronouns be abolished.

I Was Right - Gravilty Does Not Exist

Well OK, saying gravity does not exist is a bit of an oversimplification, but there is strong evidence Isaac Newton's theory of what makes things fall to the ground, which does not attempt to explain how gravity makes things fall, but only states gravity is a natural force, really misunderstood what was going on.

France Falling Apart As The World Looks On
France will elect a new president in May 2017. Politicians are already campaigning and debating about deficits, welfare recipients, GDP growth, and so on, but they look like puppets disconnected from the real country. Violence. It is spreading. Not just terrorist attacks; pure gang violence. The media does not dare to say that this violence is coming mainly from Muslim gangs

The Internet Purge Of Politically Incorrect (aka truthful) Content Begins
Facebook, Google (owners of YouTube) and Microsoft have long been known as CIA collaborators and it has been acknowledged that Obama's move in divesting the US government of responsibility for ICANN allows The White House to make outraged noises about suppression of free speech while using Search Engine Operators as proxies to shut down anything challinging US and NATO propaganda (on the grounds no doubt that challenging the politically correct orthodoxy constitutes hate speech.)

Kevin Durant – I want to be the best

Kevin Durant Caricature

“I’m always hungry. I want to be the best.” -Kevin Durant

It’s hard not to like Kevin Durant, and quotes like this are the reason why. He wants to be the best, and knows he has to stay hungry to be mentioned with the all-time greats when it’s all said and done. Durant is extremely humble, and I think that’s part of the reason he continues to get better. He knows there’s always some aspect of his game that could use improvement. One of the most frustrating things as a sports fan is seeing athletes with a ton of talent who don’t put in the work to live up their potential. Durant gets it.

Randy Moss back in town

Randy Moss Caricature

Randy Moss was back in Minneapolis yesterday playing in the Metrodome as an opponent for the first time. He had a quiet day, three catches for 27 yards. Through the first three games of the season, he has only been playing around a third of the 49ers snaps, and while he still makes for a great decoy, he hasn’t had a huge impact on the games. I heard one theory that Jim Harbaugh is limiting his playing time to prevent Moss from thinking that he is playing a bigger role in the team’s success than he actually is. So far, they are winning without using him much, so if he gets an attitude it will make it easier for them to let him go.

Brandon Roy Caricature

Brandon Roy Wolves Caricature

Six years after being traded from Minnesota to Portland for Randy Foye on draft night, things have come full circle as Brandon Roy will be suiting up in a Wolves jersey next season. I think this is a fairly low risk, high reward signing. If he’s got anything left in the tank, he will really benefit from playing along side a point guard like Rubio and the best PF in the game in KLove. If not, he’s only under contract for 2 years.

Pau Gasol Digital Painting

Pau Gasol Caricature

Black and white digital painting of Pau Gasol. Back in the day, when Pau was playing for Memphis and KG was still in Minny, I was not a big fan of Gasol’s. No reason in particular other than he was a dominant power forward who always played Garnett tough. Basically the same reason I used to hate Duncan and Nowitzki as well. Since KG was traded to Boston, I’ve started to root for Pau more and more. He’s obviously a great player, but from what I’ve seen he’s a better person, very thoughtful and passionate about life. And today, he won the NBA’s J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award for his off the court service and dedication to his community. Well deserved.

Big Al Jefferson Caricature

Big Al Jefferson Caricature

Quick sketch of ‘Big Al’ Jefferson, aka ‘The Black Hole’, aka ‘If I don’t get the ball every time down the court I yell at all my teammates.’ He came to ‘Sota as the centerpiece of the Kevin Garnett trade and now plays for Utah. Needless to say I don’t miss having him on my team.

A new neon message is on display in a Walthamstow street.

Artist D J Roberts installed the message reading ‘I’m in love with the modern world’ at the council’s Street Gallery in Cleveland Park Avenue.

The line is taken from the song, Modern World by Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.

“I have always endorsed the view of the 19th century critic John Ruskin – that many places seem beautiful, and have the potential for beauty, not because the architecture or the setting is sublime, but because they give us a psychological hit, they capture a mood,” Mr Roberts said.

“They are places where things can happen. And Richman’s use of the word modern interests me. Like him, I tend to use the word loosely, to describe that urban world of highways, shopping malls and bright lights which we all know so well, and to which Walthamstow belongs.”

Street Gallery, a Waltham Forest Council funded programme of temporary art displays, has been open since September 2012.

Peralta’s goal eases Mexico past Cameroon

Saturday, June 14, 2014

NATAL—With torrential rain pouring down and two goals already contentiously disallowed, tens of thousands of soggy but boisterous Mexico fans were getting nervous. They had already started chanting for Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, the striker benched in favour of Oribe Peralta, to come on and deliver a game winner. Seconds after the chant began, Peralta scored in the 61st minute to help Mexico to a 1-0 victory yesterday and the three points it needed to have any chance of advancing from a tough Group A at the World Cup. Peralta’s goal gave Mexico its first win over an African team at the World Cup and justified coach Miguel Herrera’s faith that he could deliver on the biggest stage in the world.

A non-factor most of the first half, Peralta broke the deadlock with his left foot after Cameroon goalkeeper Charles Itandje parried Giovanni Dos Santos’ attempt from the edge of the area.
The goal relieved the pressure that had been building steadily after Dos Santos had two goals disallowed in the first half, frustrating the Mexican team that was controlling the game with its speed and ball possession. “We could have scored more, but unfortunately we’re not used to these conditions,” Herrera said. “Frankly, the refereeing took away two clear goals, but at the end of the day you’ve got to work for it, and we get to the next match with three points and very high spirits.”

Tournament host and favorite Brazil leads the group after a 3-1 win over Croatia in the opening game. Mexico plays Brazil on Tuesday in Fortaleza. While the heat was expected to be an issue in this balmy coastal city, rain soaked the field at the new Arena das Dunas starting about four hours before the match and never let up, creating a cool day but a slick surface. Mexico players said the field held up well and the conditions favoured their style of play. Dos Santos had twice put the ball in the net in the first half only to have both efforts called back. He was ruled offside in the 11th minute and his header from a corner in the 29th was denied when referee Wilmar Roldan apparently called a foul in front of Itandje.

His work done, Peralta was taken off in the 74th minute for Hernandez, who nearly doubled Mexico’s lead minutes later. But Hernandez misfired a volley and sent it over the net. While a tough shot, the miss punctuated Hernandez’ scoring drought. Peralta, on the other hand, is growing in confidence and keen to add to the gold medal he picked up with Mexico at the London Olympics. Cameroon seldom tested Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa until forcing him to make a late victory-clinching save with a dive to his left to stop a header by Benjamin Moukandjo.
The save was yet another big payoff for Herrera, who started Ochoa after the ‘keeper had been a reserve at the last two World Cups. At the final whistle, Herrera kneeled, crossed himself and pumped his right fist. Cameroon coach Volker Finke stood with his arms crossed, scowling as the rain dripped off his face. The loss also leaves Cameroon needing a victory over group rival Croatia before closing first-round play against Brazil.

Model Portfolio Review - June 11, 2013

June 12, 2013 | About:

In recent five years, the S&P 500 gained 24.71% in 2009, 11.65% in 2010, 0% in 2011, 12.1% in 2012 and 17.14% until now. The market performance looks good. Could investors make more money by investing in GuruFocus Model Portfolios? It is time to check the performances. The following are the details of the performances of the four value strategies:

Value Strategies (Long):

Year S&P 500 Buffett-Munger Screener top 25 Top 25 Undervalued Predictable Companies Top 25 Historical Low P/S Ratio Companies Top 25 Historical Low P/B Ratio Companies
2009 24.71% 28.65% 55.72%
2010 11.65% 19.54% 20.17% 19.05% 16.39%

2013 17.14% 11.99% 14.62% 17.54% 15.67%
Since Inception 102.68% 115.56% 59.52% 53.84%
Outperforming S&P 500 19.84% 32.72% 12.91% 7.23%
Screener Links Screener Here Screener Here Screener Here Screener Here
* All numbers do not include dividends.

In the first half of 2013, we can see that among the four model portfolios, the portfolio of Buffett-Munger Screener underperformed the S&P 500 by 5.15%, while the other three model portfolios are about even with the S&P 500.

The "Buffett-Munger Screener" can be used to find companies with high-quality business at undervalued or fair-valued prices:

  1. Companies that have high Predictability Rank, that is, companies that can consistently grow their revenue and earnings.
  2. Companies that have competitive advantages. They can maintain or even expand its profit margin while growing its business.
  3. Companies that incur little debt while growing business.
  4. Companies that are fair valued or under-valued. We use PEPG as indicator. PEPG is the P/E ratio divided by the average growth rate of EBITDA over the past five years.
From the back testing study from 1998 to 2008 we have found strong correlations between the predictability of businesses and the long-term return of stocks. The group of undervalued highly predictable companies performed the best. This group had an annualized gain of 20%, while the market just averaged 2.7% a year.

For details, go to: What Worked In The Market From 1998-2008? Part II. Under-Valued Predictable Companies And Buffett-Munger Screener.

Both of the portfolios of Buffett-Munger Screener Top 25 and Top 25 Undervalued Predictable Companieswere started in January 2009. Since inception, the Buffett-Munger portfolio gained more than 102.68%, while the S&P 500 gained 82.84%, yet it slightly underperformed for the first half of 2013. The portfolio of Top 25 Undervalued Predictable Companies has gained 115.56% since January 2009, even higher than the returns of the Buffett-Munger portfolio in the same period.

Both the Buffett-Munger Screener and Top 25 Undervalued Predictable Companies select stocks from the companies that have the highest predictability rank. Top 25 Undervalued Predictable Companies Portfolio selects the stocks that are undervalued from DCF calculations. For the current list of undervalued predictable companies, go to the screener.

The other two model portfolios are for predictable companies that are traded at historical low P/S and historical low P/B ratios, respectively. Both of these two portfolios outperformed the market average in 2010, but were about even with the market year-to-date.

Please read Stocks Traded at Historical Low Price/Book Ratios: RGLD, AZN, ABT, JNJ, WMT for some of the stocks in the list. Go to historical low P/B ratios for the complete list.

All the portfolios are rebalanced once a year; therefore, no portfolio changes will be made at this time.

From above analysis, we can see for a single year, the performance of our portfolios may not beat the market, yet in the long run, it is profitable to invest using our model portfolios.

This is the summary of the four value strategies mentioned above:

1. Buffett-Munger screener: Invests in predictable companies that have low debt, consistent profit margin and are traded at low PE to growth ratios.

2. Undervalued Predictable Companies: Invests in predictable companies that are undervalued based on the DCF model.

3. Historical low P/S: Companies that have high predictability rank, but are traded at historical low P/S ratios.

4. Historical low P/B: Companies that have high predictability rank, but are traded at historical low P/B ratios.

GuruFocus premium membership is needed to access the details of the portfolios and screeners.

Recap and Photo Gallery of Gardner-Webb Men’s Basketball’s Dominican Republic Foreign Tour

Recap and Photo Gallery of Gardner-Webb Men’s Basketball’s Dominican Republic Foreign Tour

The Gardner-Webb Men's Basketball program has recently returned home from a summer foreign tour and mission trip to the Dominican Republic. The team departed for the Dominican Republic on July 27, and returned to campus in the early morning hours of August 2nd. The NCAA allows programs to embark on a summer foreign tour once every four years.

From a basketball standpoint, the trip allowed the team to get a head start on the upcoming 2016-2017 season. When taking a summer trip, the NCAA allows its teams to hold 10 full practice days with the team's entire roster in preparation for the trip, as well as compete in exhibition games against international competition while on the trip.

Gardner-Webb's trip was hosted by SCORE International, a Christian short term mission organization, and the trip involved much more than just playing basketball. SCORE's (Share Christ Our Redeemer Enterprises) vision is to glorify God through missions in obedience to the Great Commission. The team and staff were engaged in a host of ministry opportunities and humanitarian relief projects in the region around the cities/towns of Santo Domingo, Juan Dolio and San Pedro.

"This trip was a once in a lifetime experience for our players and staff," said head coach Tim Craft. "It was an amazing opportunity to grow as a team – on and off the court – while we also focused on servant leadership and Gospel outreach in the Dominican Republic."

The team departed campus for the airport at 3:30 am on Wednesday, July 27th and landed in the Dominican Republic's capital, Santo Domingo at 1:15 pm. Santo Domingo is the largest city by population (3.8 million in 2010) in the entire Caribbean. All three of GWU's exhibition games were played in the city, but the team was lodged in a hotel in the town of Juan Dolio, which is approximately 30 miles from Santo Domingo.

Despite Wednesday's long day of travel, the Runnin' Bulldogs played their first game that night, winning 62-43 over Club Calera. They followed Wednesday night's contest with a game on Thursday night, and the final game on Friday night. Gardner-Webb dropped a tight battle on Thursday against Club Deportivo San Lazaro, 68-59. The opposing team had several players that competed for the Dominican Republic national team, including Dominican star and pro veteran, Jack Michael Martinez, who has played professionally in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and Italy.

On Friday night in the final contest of the trip, the Runnin' Bulldogs defeated Club San Carlos 90-75. In order for every player to gain valuable game experience, Coach Craft rotated all 13 players on the roster, playing each guy between 10-20 minutes in each of the three games. Junior guard Jamaal Robateau and sophomore forward DJ Laster led the team in scoring, averaging 12.6 and 7.6 points per game, respectively.

Gardner-Webb was led in rebounding by senior Tyrell Nelson, junior L'Hassane Niangane, and Laster with each player grabbing a total of 13 rebounds during the trip. Sophomore guard Laquincy Rideau had a solid week dishing out 13 assists while committing only four turnovers through the three contests.

A major focus of this trip for the team and coaching staff was working with SCORE International to serve the region in various ways. SCORE missionaries coordinated a variety of ministry opportunities for GWU's student-athletes and coaches to take part in.

On Thursday morning the team traveled to SCORE headquarters and worked together to pack 45 bags of food. It was very eye-opening for all to know that each small bag would provide food for a family for up to 2 weeks. The team and SCORE staff then traveled to a remote sugarcane village about 45 minutes east of Juan Dolio.

Upon arrival, the team spent a couple hours playing sports and spending time with many of the children in the village. Later in the morning, SCORE staff and GWU players and coaches gathered together in the village church. One of SCORE's missionaries presented the Gospel to the packed church, then GWU's basketball players passed out the bags of food to the families that were selected to receive them. As the players gave the food bags to the family member, they were also able to offer a prayer and encouraging words that God would bless their family.

"Even after this first full day in the Dominican Republic and seeing a whole other way of life that these people live everyday happily and almost care-free, I can say that we are extremely blessed to have the privileges that we have today," said senior forward Tyrell Nelson. "Being able to bless and serve these people and share the Gospel with them was amazing, and an experience that we won't soon forget."

The team's next ministry opportunity was on Friday morning at the Pasitos de Jesus Girls Home in the town of Boca Chica. This orphanage is home to around 40 girls, ages three to sixteen years old. All of these children have been totally abandoned by their families for one reason or another and many of them have suffered abuse by their families. The motto of the home is "I am, who the Great I AM, says that I am."

Gardner-Webb basketball spent the morning trying to reinforce that wonderful statement by showing the girls the love of their Heavenly Father. The morning proved to be a joyous time spent coloring, playing games, singing and dancing together.

"The few hours we spent at the orphanage were really special to me," said junior Jamaal Robateau. "Knowing that these girls came from terrible situations, and were found and brought to this orphanage, but yet still happy and full of joy is really a true blessing. The grace of God really is beautiful!"

On Saturday, the team was able to enjoy some fun in the Caribbean sun. The team took a boat ride to an island beach, off the coast of La Romana where they were able to swim, snorkel, play beach volleyball, and even cliff dive. It was a very unique opportunity for the entire group and many of the student-athletes were able to try some activities that they had never experienced before in their lives.

Gardner-Webb's last full day in the Dominican Republic was Sunday, the Lord's Day, and it was filled with worship, ministry and much more. The team attended a morning worship service in the village of Quisqueya at Iglesias Bautista Christo Es El Camino, or in English, Christ is The Way Baptist Church. SCORE brought an interpreter to interpret the sermon into English for the team to understand.

During the service, Coach Craft was invited by the pastor to speak to the congregation about the team's mission trip, GWU's ministry, and also give his personal testimony. In the afternoon, GWU's basketball players and coaches travelled together to another rural sugar cane village near the town of San Pedro. It was another impactful experience, as they spent time playing with and loving on the children in the village.

Baseball is a huge part of the culture in the Dominican Republic, and playing baseball with the children proved to be a great way to connect with them. Later in the evening, the team was blessed to be able to gather in the local church and hear from two Godly young, Dominican men. Daniel Mercedes and Jose Guzman have recently planted a growing church in this village and they shared their personal testimonies with the group, and spoke passionately about all of the exciting ways that God is working in their community.

"It was great seeing how God works in other people's lives in a completely different country," said Robateau.

Each player and staff member that participated in the trip will remember the week in the Dominican Republic for a lifetime, and this summer will certainly prove valuable for this upcoming season. There were special bonds built and a wonderful chemistry formed throughout the process. But there were also powerful memories made and messages heard that have made a lasting impact on each one of these student-athletes and coaching staff members.

"I am so thankful for the way that the Lord has used our program this summer," remarked Craft. "This trip provided our players and staff a wonderful opportunity and platform to share God's love with others, and in doing so, we have all been impacted in a major way by the experience."

Poland to Extradite Alleged Mossad Man to Germany Over Mabhouh Hit

BERLIN - An Israeli man suspected of involvement in the assassination of a top Hamas official can be extradited to Germany, a Polish court ruled yesterday. Israel had asked Poland not to comply with the German extradition request.

Uri Brodsky - AFP - July 7, 2010

Warsaw regional court Judge Tomasz Calkiewicz said the suspect, whose passport identified him as Uri Brodsky, would be extradited on suspicion of forgery and not on espionage charges, noting that spying against Germany is not a crime in Poland.

German prosecutors said yesterday that Brodsky is not suspected of direct involvement in the assassination of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai in January, but rather of the less serious charges of working for an espionage agency and of forging documents. The exact nature of the charges has not been decided.

Brodsky was arrested on June 4 at Warsaw's international airport, where he had hoped to take a flight to Tel Aviv, on the basis of a German arrest warrant. The warrant specified that he was suspected of working for the Mossad and of providing logistical support for the assassination by forging German documents.

Asked yesterday whether the incident would harm his country's ties with Israel, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said: "The issue will be handled according to the law, and not according to the interests of our foreign relations."

Brodsky was escorted into court yesterday by masked officers from Poland's antiterror unit carrying machine guns. He pulled the hood of his jacket tightly over his head and covered his face with his hands, hunching slightly as he entered the courtroom.

The German prosecutors, based in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, declined yesterday to comment on the case directly and said they were waiting until the extradition order went into effect before issuing comments.

"The court has decided to hand over Uri Brodsky to German authorities for judicial procedures there," Calkiewicz said. "The court did not decide whether Brodsky committed the crime for which he is under investigation; the court only checked whether the extradition request fulfills the formal requirements and whether the suspect is correctly identified."

"My client can be handed over to German judicial authorities within the framework of judicial procedures over the following matters: falsification of documents and using false documents," Brodsky's lawyer Krzysztof Stepinski told reporters after the closed-door session. "But the court did not take into consideration the German extradition request over participation in activities for foreign spy services."

Brodsky's attorneys have three days to appeal the extradition. One of his lawyers, Anna Mika-Kopec, said yesterday that no decision had been made yet about an appeal.

Officials refused to comment on the political ramifications of yesterday's ruling, though it appears to be something of a compromise - Poland will extradite him to Germany but has ensured that he will face lesser charges.

Forged passports from the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, France, Australia and Germany were used in the Dubai operation, leading to diplomatic rows between those countries and Israel.
