&lt;br /&gt;
At least 73 people have died and hundreds are injured after violent 
clashes broke out at a football match in Port Said between Cairo club 
Al-Ahly and local club Al-Masry, government officials said.&lt;br /&gt;
The violence flared after Al-Ahly, one of &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/egypt" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Egypt"&gt;Egypt&lt;/a&gt;'s
 most successful teams, were beaten 3-1. Television footage showed 
players running from the pitch chased by fans while a small group of 
riot police tried to protect the players, but they appeared overwhelmed 
and fans attacked the players as they fled. Fans of both teams clashed 
and stormed the pitch and dressing rooms. The deputy health minister, 
Hesham Sheiha, called it "the biggest disaster in Egypt's soccer 
history".&lt;br /&gt;
"This is not football. This is a war and people are 
dying in front of us. There is no movement and no security and no 
ambulances," Al-Ahly player Mohamed Aboutrika told his club's television
 channel. "I call for the league to be cancelled. This is a horrible 
situation and today can never be forgotten."&lt;br /&gt;

Originally known as "February In B&amp;amp;W
 and Color" which was more accurate but lacked the sound of "Blue 
February". Which was the names of the two photos that were the source 
for the variations which became the video. Anyway you don't really care 
about the title and why should you? It looks and sounds pretty cool in 
the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another in our series of slideshows from vintage 
Polaroid SX-70 photos. These two pictures were taken in Chicago on one 
of those foggy February days. The kind of day where it's about 40 (F) 
and a lot of snow is melting so it gets very foggy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then when 
Grand was preparing the soundscape he came across a reading of "Winter 
Tale" by David Carter Scott on FreeSoundProject and it fit perfectly in 
feel and length.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the FreeSound Project &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.freesound.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.freesound.org/"&gt;http://www.freesound.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wind background; 35216__abyssmal__winterydoomroom&lt;br /&gt;Snow shoes and running water; &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.freesound.org/people/laurent/sounds/17004/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.freesound.org/people/laurent/sounds/17004/"&gt;http://www.freesound.org/people/laurent/sounds/17004/&lt;/a&gt;, 17006__laurent__snowshoe-walking&lt;br /&gt;Foghorn; &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.freesound.org/people/CGEffex/sounds/94678/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.freesound.org/people/CGEffex/sounds/94678/"&gt;http://www.freesound.org/people/CGEffex/sounds/94678/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poetry; &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.freesound.org/people/Incarnadine/sounds/13634/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.freesound.org/people/Incarnadine/sounds/13634/"&gt;http://www.freesound.org/people/Incarnadine/sounds/13634/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A
 man's voice reading the cut-up poem "Winter Day". The poem, by David 
Carter Scott, is also in the Creative Commons under an 
Attribution-ShareAlike license. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over a twenty year period 
from 1975-1995 I took thousands of Polaroid instant pictures. I was 
interested in photography but back then it was a lot of work to process 
and develop 35MM pictures. I was lazy and more concerned with what was 
in the picture than the technical qualities of the camera used so was an
 easy convert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As part of a general house cleaning I have been 
scanning up my old pictures, archiving the images and kind of playing 
around with them. We have assembled some other slideshows that we've 
posted here on 1Grand21 and you can visit our Photo Noir gallery on our 
web portal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.mindsimedia.info/Photo%20Noir/PhotoNoirHome.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.mindsimedia.info/Photo%20Noir/PhotoNoirHome.html"&gt;http://www.mindsimedia.info/Photo%20Noir/PhotoNoirHome.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is almost Mardi Gras time again in 
New Orleans &amp;amp; elsewhere.This film takes us back to Mardi Gras 1941 
and is in living color. This was the first year a female krewe paraded 
(Venus) and was the last celebration until after the war. The hot Dixie 
jazz is provided by George Lewis &amp;amp; Johnny Dodds. So Bon Temps Roule!&lt;br /&gt;We have some other Mardi Gras videos &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MindsiMedia#grid/user/6BF031BAD85EBE8B" target="_blank"&gt;collected here.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Unione Siciliana, a
 community and political organization of native Sicilians was a powerful
 notional social and political organization. It was not a part of the 
Mafia but a powerful organization that the mob was beholden to in many 
ways. In Chicago the president of this organization had control over the
 immigrant cookers that made the alcohol base that bootleg gin was made 
of. It was a profitable, powerful but very dangerous position. During 
the roaring 20's a half dozen Union president were killed as the north 
and south side mobs fought over control of this strategic position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antonio
 Lombardo was a Capone / Torrio ally who had managed to hold his 
position for almost three years. Before being gunned down in the heart 
of the Loop at 4 in the afternoon Sept.7 1928, in front of hundreds of witnesses.  
This short clip traces his last steps. We see him exit his offices in 
the, long gone, Hartford building at 8 S. Dearborn and head north 
towards Madison. A plane is being hoisted up the side of the Boston 
building and the street is filled with people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lombardo his 
partner Joe Ferrara and bodyguard Joe Lolardo turned on Madison and 
started walking west. They got about fifty feet before they turned to 
look at the plane once again. Two men came out of a restaurant doorway 
snuck up and emptied their revolvers into the three men. Lombardo and 
Ferrara were killed and bodyguard Lolardo miraculously survives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's a Chicago miracle as nobody gets convicted and the next president turns out to be Joe Lolardo's brother. Fancy that?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir="ltr" id="playnav-curvideo-description"&gt;
With
 this clip we begin our second "season" of Chicago crime history videos.
  What  started as a look at the "outfit" the Mafia crime organization 
that siezed power in the roaring 20's. Has morphed into a look at darker
 side of Chicago's history. Chicago is one of the worlds great cities 
but it's reputation for corruption of all sorts is another part of it's 
legend. That is what we explore here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; This clip is part of a
 series produced by MindsiMedia and presented on ChiTownView 's YouTube 
station. We are getting some Chicago crime history in HBO's series 
"Boardwalk Empire" and more will be on display when the film version of 
Eric Larsen's "Devil In The White City". Our series shows some of the 
famous places in Chicago crime history as they exist today. While 
telling some of that history with each clip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Machinegun sounds via: &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.audiomicro.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.audiomicro.com/"&gt;http://www.audiomicro.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theme Music:&lt;br /&gt;Constansy Part 2 Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) &lt;br /&gt;Licensed under Creative Commons&lt;br /&gt;"Attribution 3.0" &lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/%22" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/&amp;quot;"&gt;http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MyAlCaponeMuseum

     &lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I'm
sure there are a lot of you out there who have also come across CL
ads that make you just shake your head and make you wonder. Well this
is the first in what I hope to be a short series called “What's
Wrong With This Carigslist ad?”. I have to spend time each day
going through the Craigslist help wanted ads and have always been
amazed at the amount of blatant scams and other random insults to
ones intelligence posing as job offers there are out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 class="western" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;
     &lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;When
I came across this one I had to share it.  You know there's something
wrong when you open with “We are a company who has a good
reputation, is known and growing in the Chicagoland area.” and then
never give the name of the company. You've got to wonder what that
reputation really is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 class="western" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I
removed a persons name and the ad number but the company name was
never mentioned. Love the quote though, very inspiring. If you have
had your intelligence insulted by a Craigslist ad why not share it
with us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 class="western"&gt;

 &lt;a href="" name="userbody"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We are a company who has a good
 reputation, is known and growing in the Chicagoland area. We are the
 largest company in our industry in the United States. We are looking
 for people to help us help homeowners or business owners with
 property damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We represent the homeowner/business owner
 when they have damage to their property so that the insurance
 companies treat them fairly. We educate and protect the policy
 holders by explaining their policy to them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE ARE ADVOCATES
 FOR THE HOME OWNERS NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not
 affected at this time by the current economic conditions. We are
 looking for people who want to start part time and possibly go full
 time. We are growing drastically and need more people NOW!!! Make
 your own hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have offices in Oak Brook, Elgin and South
 Holland and Merrillville, IN. Looking to open 4 more in the
 Chicagoland area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As crazy as it sounds if you can work part
 time 4 - 6 hours a week you can make $300 - $500 per week, full time
 considerably more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We do provide training for the right
 people. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I think the

The Occupy Wall Street movement traces its origin to &lt;a href="http://www.adbusters.org/files/imagecache/item-image-full/images/adbusters_occupy-wall-street.jpg" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;b&gt;a call to action&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the Vancouver-based magazine Adbusters.&lt;br /&gt;
Now, Adbusters has issued a &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adbusters.org/blogs/adbusters-blog/tactical-briefing-25.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Call to Action&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to Occupy Chicago for the &lt;a href="http://www.chicagog8nato.org/" rel="nofollow"&gt;G8/NATO summit&lt;/a&gt; this coming May:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="rteindent1"&gt;
Hey you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="rteindent1"&gt;
Against the backdrop of a global uprising that is 
simmering in dozens of countries and thousands of cities and towns, the 
G8 and NATO will hold a rare simultaneous summit in Chicago this May. 
The world’s military and political elites, heads of state, 7,500 
officials from 80 nations, and more than 2,500 journalists will be 
there.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="rteindent1"&gt;
And so will we.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="rteindent1"&gt;
On May 1, 50,000 people from all over the world 
will flock to Chicago, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and 
#OCCUPYCHICAGO for a month. With a bit of luck, we’ll pull off the 
biggest multinational occupation of a summit meeting the world has ever 
seen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="rteindent1"&gt;

"Man's right to 
know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate 
human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should 
ever be more than an empty political slogan." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Wilhelm Reich, 
right before the U.S. government burned all of his books and papers, 
destroyed his orgone accumulators, and threw him in prison where he died
 eight months later in 1957.  One of Sigmund Freud's more promising 
students Wilhiem Reich was one of the most revolutionary thinkers of the
 20th century. His research that ranged from sexual energy to a machine 
that could alter weather were so revolutionary that they had to be 
supressed. This film offers a biographical sketch. With photos film and 
his own voice helping to tell the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information on Mr. Reich here are some links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.orgonelab.org/wrhistory.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.orgonelab.org/wrhistory.htm"&gt;http://www.orgonelab.org/wrhistory.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org/home.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org/home.html"&gt;http://www.wilhelmreichtrust.org/home.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class="yt-uix-redirect-link" dir="ltr" href="http://inventors.about.com/od/qrstartinventors/a/orgone.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://inventors.about.com/od/qrstartinventors/a/orgone.htm"&gt;http://inventors.about.com/od/qrstartinventors/a/orgone.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span id="playnav-curvideo-description-less" style="display: inline;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;It's Sunday the 45th anniversary of the great Chicago snow 'of 67 ans as I sit here in the western suburbs it's snowing. Anyhow to day we take a look a corporations. First we visit ReclaimDemocracy and get a quick sketch on the history of corporations in the US. Then we check in with Thom Hartman, Move To Amend's David Cobb and&amp;nbsp; Bernie Sanders, America's Senator. They brief us on where we stand today and what thay are doing and what WE can do to stand up for our rights and change the current trend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Hidden History of Corporations in the United States&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When American colonists declared independence from England in
              1776, they also freed themselves from control by English corporations
              that extracted their wealth and dominated trade. After fighting
              a revolution to end this exploitation, our country's founders retained
              a healthy fear of corporate power and wisely limited corporations
              exclusively to a business role. Corporations were forbidden from
              attempting to influence elections, public policy, and other realms
              of civic society. &lt;br /&gt;

            "Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted
                selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such
                as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to
              profit was seen as a means to that end"......................&lt;br /&gt;
......."For 100 years after the American Revolution,  legislators
              maintained tight controll of the corporate chartering process.
              Because of widespread public opposition, early legislators granted
              very few corporate charters, and only after debate. Citizens governed
              corporations by detailing operating conditions not just in charters
              but also in state constitutions and state laws. Incorporated businesses
              were prohibited from taking any action that legislators did not
              specifically allow.&amp;nbsp; "..................&lt;br /&gt;
......"Many U.S.-based corporations are now transnational,
              but the corrupted  charter remains the legal basis for their existence.
              At ReclaimDemocracy.org, we believe   citizens
              can reassert the convictions of our nation's founders who struggled
              successfully to free us from corporate rule in the past. These changes
              must occur at the most fundamental level -- the U.S. Constitution."&lt;br /&gt;

The corporate barbarians are through the gate of American
democracy. Not satisfied with their all-pervasive influence on our
culture, economy and legislative processes, they want more. They want
it all.&lt;br /&gt;

Two years ago, the&amp;nbsp;United States&amp;nbsp;supreme court betrayed
our Constitution and those who fought to ensure that its protections
are enjoyed equally by all persons regardless of religion, race or
gender by engaging in an unabashed power-grab on behalf of corporate
America. In its now infamous decision in&amp;nbsp;the Citizens United
case, five justices declared that corporations must be treated as if
they are actual people under the Constitution when it comes to
spending money to influence our elections, allowing them for the
first time to draw on the corporate checkbook - in any amount and at
any time - to run ads explicitly for or against specific candidates.&lt;br /&gt;

What's next ... a corporate right to vote?&lt;br /&gt;

Don't laugh. Just this month, the&amp;nbsp;Republican National
Committee filed an amicus brief in a US appeals court&amp;nbsp;contending
that the natural extension of the Citizens United rationale is that
the century-old ban on corporate contributions&amp;nbsp;directly&amp;nbsp;to
candidates and political parties is similarly unconstitutional. They
want corporations to be able to sponsor candidates and parties
directly while claiming with a straight face this would not result in
any sort of corruption. And while, this month, they take no issue
with corporations being subject to the existing contribution limits,
anyone paying attention knows that eliminating such caps will be
corporate America's next prize in its brazen ambition for absolute
control over our elections.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="entry-content"&gt;

   
                       WASHINGTON — Two legal rights groups on Thursday 
asked the United Nations to investigate allegations that Spanish and 
U.S. officials collaborated to quash criminal probes into whether the 
Bush administration authorized illegal killings and torture of terrorism
 suspects.            &lt;br /&gt;

   
                        The request, made to the U.N.'s special 
rapporteur for judicial independence, accused the United States of 
interfering with Spain's justice system in three different criminal 
cases. The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights and the 
Berlin-based European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights asked 
that the U.N. demand that both governments refrain from meddling in 
court cases.&lt;br /&gt;
 "When arguably the leading human rights country in 
the world is engaged in torture and then gives impunity to those 
torturers, it sends a pretty bad message," said Michael Ratner, the 
Center for Constitutional Rights' president emeritus.            &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The story of the UN investigation is new but the actual Spanish probe itself is several years ols and is headed by the magistrate who went after Pinnochet. Here is a Democracy Now! report on this case from 12/2010.&lt;br /&gt;

(Reuters) - Gun and bomb attacks by Islamist insurgents in the northern 
Nigerian city of Kano last week killed at least 178 people, a hospital 
doctor said on Sunday, underscoring the challenge President Goodluck 
Jonathan faces to prevent his country sliding further into chaos.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_1"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A coordinated series of bomb 
blasts and shooting sprees mostly targeting police stations Friday sent 
panicked residents of Nigeria's second biggest city of more than 10 
million people running for cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id="midArticle_2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The
 scale of the carnage makes this by far the deadliest strike claimed by 
Boko Haram, a shadowy Islamist sect that started out as a clerical 
movement opposed to western education but has become the biggest 
security menace facing Africa's top oil producer.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="style1" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;This dance has its origins in northern Minnesota and was introduced to the Pan-Indian community by the Ojibwe people. As the story goes, a medicine man's granddaughter was very ill. He had a dream in which a spirit wearing the jingle dress came to him and told him to make one of these dresses and put it on his daughter to cure her. When he awoke, he and his wife proceeded to assemble the dress as described by the spirit of his dream. When finished, they and others brought his granddaughter to the dance ha ll and she put on the dress. During the first circle around the room, she needed to be carried. During the second circle around the room, she could barely walk and needed the assistance of several women. The third circle around the room she found she coul d walk without assistance and during the fourth circle around the room, she danced. The jingle dress is made of a cloth, velvet or leather base adorned with jingles made out of a shiny metal. Traditionally and still common today, the jingles are made from the lids of snuff cans. These are bent and molded into triangular bell shapes and attached to the dress with ribbon or fabric in a pattern designed by the dancer. It takes between 400 and 700 jingles to make an adult jingle dress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dance itself is designed to incorporate the sound of the jingles by allowing them to move; that is, to make them jingle, or be made "happy." The steps are controlled and do not invlove high kicking or twirls. Often the steps are in a zigzag pattern t o reflect the zigzagging involved in the journey of life. Similar to Men's Grass dancing, the feet often do parallel movements. Similar to a Women's Traditional dancer, the Jingle Dress dancer also raises her fan when the "honor beats" are played on the d rum. As in all dances, the Jingle Dress dancer must stay in time with the drum beat and stop with both feet on the ground on the final beat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"&gt;The Omak race has its origins in the Indian races of the late 19th century near Keller, Wash., where riders managed a punishing four-mile endurance course in a river basin that was flooded after construction on the Grand Coulee Dam began in 1933. But it was Claire Pentz, a white furniture salesman and publicity director for the Omak Stampede, who first pitched the suicide race in 1935 to help drum up interest in the town's rodeo.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

"Democrats and their allies in organized labor say they delivered over a million recall petition signatures against Gov. &lt;b&gt;Scott Walker &lt;/b&gt;(R) Tuesday, far more than the 540,208 needed to spark a recall election. &lt;br /&gt;
The
 filing kicks off the latest phase in a fight over collective bargaining
 rights that began almost as soon as Walker took office last January. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="" name="excerpt"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href="" name="pagebreak"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Democrats also filed 845,000 signatures to trigger a recall against Lt. Gov. &lt;b&gt;Rebecca Kleefisch &lt;/b&gt;(R) and enough to recall four Republican state senators, according to party chairman Mike Tate."&lt;br /&gt;

The &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/obama-administration" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Obama administration"&gt;Obama administration&lt;/a&gt; is in danger of missing an historic opportunity for a peace settlement in &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/afghanistan" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Afghanistan"&gt;Afghanistan&lt;/a&gt; if it does not act quickly to release prisoners in response to a &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/taliban" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Taliban"&gt;Taliban&lt;/a&gt; offer to open talks, European officials and observers claim.&lt;br /&gt;
The Taliban announced on 3&amp;nbsp;January  that it had agreed to open a political office in &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/qatar" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Qatar"&gt;Qatar&lt;/a&gt;
 for the purpose of holding peace talks with the international 
community, and said it expected the release of its officials being held 
at &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/guantanamo-bay" title="More from guardian.co.uk on Guantánamo Bay"&gt;Guantánamo Bay&lt;/a&gt;.
 At the time, White House officials said the administration was 
considering the transfer of five Taliban officials to custody in another
 country, widely believed to be Qatar.&lt;br /&gt;
But with still no movement 
on the prisoner transfers European officials involved in the talks are 
urging Washington to act quickly to keep the momentum going towards 
talks before hardline spoilers on all sides can stall proceedings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What do possible peace talks between the U.S. and the Taliban mean for Afghanistan's future? &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here are some examples of their irrational hatred.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"ThinkProgress reported last week that Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal (R) was forced to apologize to First Lady Michelle Obama after forwarding an email to fellow lawmakers that called her “Mrs. YoMama” and compared her to the Grinch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier that same week, the Lawrence Journal-World was sent another email that O’Neal had forwarded to House Republicans that referred to President Obama and a Bible verse that says “Let his days be few” and calls for his children to be without a father and his wife to be widowed.

Nick Sementelli at Faith in Public Life notes that Psalm 109, which is a prayer for the death of a leader, became a popular conservative meme after Obama’s election. The “tongue-in-cheek” prayer for the president was seen on bumper stickers. The relevant part of the psalm reads:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Let his days be few; and let another take his office&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;
    May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.&lt;br /&gt;
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. "&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;"&gt;Emanuel's administration also announced Thursday that it would scale back proposed ordinances to tighten the rules for all future public demonstrations in Chicago, including a large boost in fines for violations. The mayor's office wanted to increase the current minimum of $50 for violating the parade ordinance to a $1,000. On Thursday it scaled the proposed minimum back to $200.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;"&gt;The mayor had proposed shortening demonstrations by 15 minutes, to two hours total, but dropped that request. The city also eliminated the proposed requirement that demonstrators supply a parade marshal for every 100 participants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white;"&gt;&lt;br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;"&gt;If aldermen approve the other changes, public parks and beaches would be closed until 6 a.m., two hours later than now. Loud noise, amplified sound and music at parades and public assemblies would be allowed only between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4594386119739966935-4168440939212261561?l=www.710split.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/The7-10Split/~4/nmR0HdY4Sik" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.710split.net/feeds/4168440939212261561/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.710split.net/2012/01/natog8-protest-organizer-andy-thayer-on.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4594386119739966935/posts/default/4168440939212261561?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4594386119739966935/posts/default/4168440939212261561?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/The7-10Split/~3/nmR0HdY4Sik/natog8-protest-organizer-andy-thayer-on.html" title="NATO/G8 Protest Organizer Andy Thayer On Mayor Emanuel's Proposed Crackdown" /><author><name>John Sheehan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-h9gYrUqBDIQ/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/g-5ueO4bf7I/s512-c/photo.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/VwAiDWL1vgo/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.710split.net/2012/01/natog8-protest-organizer-andy-thayer-on.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU4MQXw4eip7ImA9WhRVFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594386119739966935.post-3940938274366943457</id><published>2012-01-14T17:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T18:19:40.232-08:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-01-14T18:19:40.232-08:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="C.O.R.E." /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Coalition of Rank and File Educators" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lourdes S.

We show students how to share in an exciting world of scientific inquiry and a free exchange of ideas where teachers lead their classes on topics they are personally passionate about. Teachers lead by example as well-respected valued members of a society that is capable of creative solutions during difficult economic times."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4594386119739966935-3940938274366943457?l=www.710split.net' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/The7-10Split/~4/azHw7Q-7k44" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.710split.net/feeds/3940938274366943457/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.710split.net/2012/01/unemployed-teacher-talks-about.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4594386119739966935/posts/default/3940938274366943457?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4594386119739966935/posts/default/3940938274366943457?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/The7-10Split/~3/azHw7Q-7k44/unemployed-teacher-talks-about.html" title="Artist and unemployed teacher, Lourdes S.
