COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY
of the OU Bombing
[Formerly Titled: War in the Heartland? Terrorism and the Norman Bombing]
9/17/06 – Added Notes and Re-Published on the Liberty Rocks Blog
Notes: Also, please be aware that some links to articles and videos may have been moved/removed or incorporated into archives at their original publication site. Please see the Main OU Bombing & Info Page for articles that have been preserved via FreeRepublic.com.
ORIGINAL POSTING:
Here's the Summary I've been working on for the last week that I have been continuously updating. I apologize for lack of proper grammar. I also hope I haven't left anything important out. Please alert me if I did.
1.) First, the MSM is still following the AP and Official Story as well as keeping the lid on things for the most part. Several local media outlets in both CO and OK are not buying the official line and have done their own in-depth investigative reporting. Channel 9 and Channel 4 in particular are doing a better job than ANY of the other channels/papers. The local station in CO Springs – KKTV Ch. 11 deserves a plug here too.
(10/08) This story is starting to get some more national coverage – still spouting the "official" story.
MSNBC's Rita Cosby interviewed Hinrich's father and a Houda Elyazgi of the OK Univ. Muslim Student Association (See Background Reference links at bottom of post for more about this Association). You can see the video by following the link at this FreeRepublic post from FLAttorney. There is a transcript of this interview available through LexisNexis.
[Commentary: Cosby treats the student with "kid gloves". IMHO, if this young lady is offering to speak for the Muslim Community it's time to ask some hard questions and demand some answers. All this girl kept saying was "we're nervous too" & "we're confused". (A typical tool of the trade in speaking with the press if you're a politico type is to use repetition to get your view out… she did this well)]
Ms. Elyazgi also avoided any confirmation of understanding why people are nervous given the history of Norman, OK and known terrorists frequenting the area and the local mosque. She also did not correct Ms. Cosby when Cosby stated that Fazal Cheema was a Muslim. In my discussion below of Cheema you will read where it was alleged the he is an "atheist".
Another interesting thing gathered from this interview is the supposed reporting by the media on nothing more than "speculations" alleged by Ms. Elygazi. The supposed speculations Ms. Elyazgi refers to are reports by authorities under a condition of anonymity. This is a practice that MSNBC and the AP regularly participates in, but for some reason in this case the reports regarding this case are merely "speculation".]
(10/10) More and more spin is coming out now, mostly in the form of editorials. The OK Daily (OU's newspaper) released this editorial today which really doesn't IMHO sound like a journalist wrote it. It sounds more hysterical than a usual opinion piece. Interesting is that they call everyone not reporting the "official" theory as liars and hacks. They talk about "unsubstantiated reports" of Hinrichs visiting the local mosque (which I mention below), but they ignore all the other evidence in this case that's been reported.
(10/13) This story is starting to pick up notice by more traditional news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal (article at FreeRepublic). However, it seems that they too believe OU's insistence that this was just a case of an individual suicide.
The column's authors make several assertions in the article that all reports of attempted entry and other various statements were FALSE. To my knowledge there has still been nothing proven, or disproven beyond the shadow of a (somewhat serious) doubt regarding the points they pick out.
2.) Agencies investigating the OU/Norman Bombing are reported as:
Homeland Security, Joint Terrorism Task Force, FBI, Norman and OU PD, ATFE (BATF).
FBI has officially taken the lead in this investigation although they are not releasing details at this time. They have released two official statements that you can download the .pdf files here:
FBI STATEMENT 1 – FBI STATEMENT 2
3.) Someone set off a bomb sometime between 7:20 and 8pm outside the OU/Kansas State game on Oct. 1, 2005. There are discrepancies on the exact time and we are working on getting a definitive time right now. A report by the AP yesterday (10/07) stated the time at around 7:30.
The blast itself according to those at the game reportedly shook the walls of the stadium itself and the noise was heard over the crowd and gameplay. There are reports that the explosion could be heard for a fair distance from the location itself. (Ch. 9 news video on the scene speaking with fans).
FReeper PhiKapMom overheard witnesses telling police that they saw "two Middle Eastern" men running from the scene – first running together and then separating. The witnesses were an Iranian (Persian) girl, and her boyfriend who is a member of the same Frat as PhiKapMom's son. PhiKapMom also states that the male witness' face was still red from the heat of the blast…
Here is the original posting by PhiKapMom about the eyewitnesses, and a second post giving more details.
4.) One person reportedly killed. He has tentatively* been identified as 21-year-old Joel Henry Hinrichs III of Colorado Springs, a mechanical engineering student at OU. He was a member of the Triangle Fraternity. He graduated from Wasson High School. He was a National Merit Scholar although he lost that scholarship (Ch. 4 OKC)
Although his father and the MSM media (AP) and one local channel (ch.5) adamantly maintain he was not associated with muslims, and was not one himself he was living with a Pakistani roommate who is (more on him later…).
UPDATE (10/26): As was previously reported back on October 5 by Channel 9's Tamara Pratt (see video), CBN is reporting that they have spoken to a neighbor of the mosque that wishes to remain anonymous. Here is what she told reporters at CBN in an exclusive interview:
"I did see Joel on several occasions outside of the mosque, actually, in the parking lot of the mosque," the neighbor said. "It wasn't in the yard, it wasn't behind the fence, it was always in the parking lot when I would see him. And there was one time when I passed him, actually, on the sidewalk. As soon as I saw the picture of Joel Hinrichs on TV, not the clean-shaven one, but the one with the beard, I knew immediately that that was the gentleman I had seen on several occasions."
David Boren (OU Pres.), FBI and others are trying to play this off as an "isolated incident" and a suicide by a "mentally unstable" young man, "obviously had very seriously personal problems".
Contrary to those statements the President of Joel's fraternity, Steven Powers stated in an interview (Ch.9 video) that he was a "typical engineering student" that liked designing things. Powers said that he knew Hinrichs was homesick, but that he usually kept busy reading a little bit about everything. He stated that there was nothing particularly different about his friends, and that he was still attending meetings and luncheons in the days leading up to Oct. 1st as usual.
You can read download .pdf files of Boren's released statements here: Boren – Oct. 1 & Boren – Oct. 2
In the phone interview with Ch. 9 news on the night of Oct. 1 Dept. of Homeland Security's Maj. Kerry Pettingill told anchors that terrorism would not be excluded. When told of Mr. Boren's statement saying it was an individual suicide he replied that it was, "the first time I have heard that, ah, statment" and he went on to say, "that's the President's statement as far as the position of the University of Oklahoma". (Apparently, not DHS's view at the time).
Pettingill also stated in the above referenced interview that they would not exclude terrorism, and would do a complete investigation into the motives of the person who did this (not known at that time).
The very next day, in an interview with Ch. 9 (see video) when asked why THIS was being looked as a suicide Maj. Pettingill stated, "[there is a] single person that's dead, not anyone else around the area, just, just the, a physical evidence suggests that, strongly suggests that, and that's why we went with that…"
Please note his father on 10/07 stated that Joel was "conservative" in earlier televised interviews his Father said he was "apolitical". It has already been established by the CO Gazette that the last time his father saw him was in Jan. of '05 when Joel stopped by for a half-hour on his way through town on a "road trip". Hinrichs father also stated they had been in touch with a few emails and such in the last few months.
It is reported that Mr. Hinrichs had a ticket to the game and attempted to enter the stadium (containing approx. 84000 people) with a backpack through at least 2 gates** before running away when asked to allow a search of his bag. He then went and sat at a bench by the bus loading area.
The university has stated that they have no record of Hinrichs purchasing a ticket through the OU vendors, or from people outside the stadium (this obviously doesn't mean he didn't have one, just that if he did possess one, he didn't buy one through university channels).
Some reports have stated that he was taking the device out of his backpack and trying to put it on his person, or fiddling with it somehow and it went off. Many articles have stated the bomb that exploded was strapped onto the person's body. KOCO Ch. 5 is now reporting that he was "supposedly carrying" the device. (Not sure what they're trying to say with that new statement.)
The FBI has reportedly reviewed the available security tapes and states there is nothing in them to prove (or disprove) that Hinrichs attempted to enter the stadium. It is also mentioned that there were no cameras poised to capture events on the bench. ( Freeper PhiKapMom points out that there were not many cameras on campus or in the stadium at all before numerous cameras were installed earlier this week. There are still none in the parking garage where the second backpack was reportedly found. )
The bus driver who was near the explosion reported on 10/07 in an interview that when he saw Hinrichs on the bench shortly before the blast he was "bent over" and he said he assumed the person was sleeping. The bus driver also reported walking past Hinrichs and then a short while later feeling the blast which "rocked him forward". Please also note that the bus driver states he headed out of the stadium on the way to his bus 3 minutes before the scoreboard was to hit the end of the second quarter (half-time). He states the blast happened 30-45 seconds after he passed Hinrichs on the bench. You can see the bus driver's full statement in .jpg form at from NewsOK.com (Ch.9). Also available from Channel 9 is video of an exclusive interview with the bus driver (click on the show video link on the page).
Seeing as there was a large amount of explosives found in his apartment (see below) it might be assumed that this was an "accident" of some sort and he probably didn't mean to be killed…
Report from KKTV Ch. 11 in Colorado Springs reporting on 10/06/05 that the bomb that went off was a "remote-controlled" device. See a partial transcript and write-up of this report in this blog entry(temporarily unavailable).
VERY IMPORTANT (10/08): There is reportedly a year's amount of time for which Hinrich's whereabouts cannot be accounted for during which he took off of school due to being "very depressed" according to his father.
If anyone can remember the exact dates they were looking at please let me know. To my knowledge this "missing time" has not changed in subsequent reports. I have attempted to track down the video report I saw and am 99.9% sure the video I am looking for is the same one conspicuously missing from KOCO Ch.5's website. For a write-up specifically about this tape please see my blog entry. (Some fellow freepers have reported to me that this block of time corresponds to the 2003 atlas found on the front seat of Hinrichs car.)
* After reports of his identity and comments from his family were obtained by various media outlets in CO and OK they are now saying that there must be DNA testing and it could take a while.
**Report of attempted entry attributed to OU student and OU library security guard Adam Smith (see Ch. 9 video interview). Adam states that a gate security guard told him someone sprinted off after the guard tried to search the backpack he was carrying. This reportedly happened at Gate 6 – per 9 news. You can read Adam's statements from a Tulsa World article.
NEW INFORMATION 10/16 – SUICIDE NOTE FOUND?
Joel Hinrichs III's father is now telling the media that there was a suicide note found on Joel's computer when the FBI arrived at the apartment. This is inconsistent with the FBI and Boren's own statements earlier in the investigation. His father states that he can't remember exactly what was said in the note. He also states that the FBI told him the "cursor was still blinking" when the FBI arrived. This brings up crucial questions which I discuss in this separate blog entry. Please note: It cannot be proven that Joel Hinrichs wrote the note to my knowledge. Even if he did it is not unheard of for Suicide Bombers to leave such notice behind…
5.) Five others reported injured and then the 5 injured "disappeared" from the reporting with articles only mentioning that one was killed. I personally followed up with the media outlet (CFRA.com) that was running the story with the 5 injured report. They state that the original report came from usaradio.com. After I contacted them they removed the "5 injured" statement. (I have screen shots to confirm this and a separate write-up – Please email me at: LibertyRocksBlog-at-gmail-dot-com, if you would like to see these items.).
5 others involved were mentioned in reporting on 10/05 out of Oklahoma (Ch. 9 video) – reporter says may have been involved with the bombing or involved in removing items from the apartment complex. Reporter Tamara Pratt said this doesn't mean these five were arrested, will be arrested, or detained. (Remember here PhiKapMom's report of the witness stating she saw 2 middle eastern men running together and then separating immediately after the blast.)
6.) Police responding with bomb squad found and detonated a second package containing what is now said to have chemical compounds, possible parts of a bomb (Ch. 9 – OKC – 10/06). This was originally reported as a second device by authorities (see OU Pres. Boren's first statement listed above). Reports state this package was found in the lower-level of the nearby parking garage (early newspaper reports). This claim was later refuted by Boren (10/02).
Authorities on the scene cordoned off the area around the park bench where the explosion occurred and PADLOCKED the gates of the Stadium and did not let people leave until the end of the game. At that time they let everyone out of gates away from the crime scene.
7.) FBI cleared out the Parkview apartment building on 10/02 and hauled away several times explosives deemed very volatile. Authorities detonated them on the local PDs test range before notifying others. People report hearing that explosion some 4-5 miles from the range. Ch. 5 the next day showed a large crater where the explosives had been buried before being detonated.
Also found in the apartment was Islamic papers and such (This report of papers found is "RUMORED" at this time). Reports that came out before the search warrant was sealed also state that they confiscated his hard-drive.
Neighbors interviewed (Channel 9 video) reported being awoken at 6am by authorities and asked to clear the building. Approximately 35 students were evacuated from the apartment complex. They were told to pack for a day as the search could last for 24 hours.
FBI also confiscated items out of Hinrich's car but did not impound it – instead leaving it in the apartment building's parking lot. Clearly seen is FBI paperwork left in the car which is still parked outside his apartment complex indicate 13 plastic bottles.*
*According to a fellow freeper's report FNC last night (10/07) in an interview with a terrorism expert stated that a bomb inside a plastic bottle of the sort found when detonated inside a bus could easily kill 100-150 people. Veteran journalist, and Director of The Heritage Foundation's Center for Media and Public Policy, Mark Tapscott is reporting on his personal blog reports on the 13 plastic bottles found.
The FBI also took the bench in question which was replaced on Sunday (I think) – I do know it was replaced very quickly after authorities took down the tape and such.
8.) The device used and presumably most of the explosives detonated the next night (10/02) were TATP (Ch. 5 KOCO & Ch. 9) – "mother of satan" is the name the Islamic Jihadists call it. Very volatile substance. Again KKTV Ch. 11 is now reporting that this was a remote control device located on Hinrichs back. It is important to note that this was NOT a pipe bomb as original reports indicated.
Mark Tapscott (identified above) is reporting on his personal blog that there are holes in the tree near the bench that could indicate there was "shrapnel" type materials in the bomb itself which would further associate this bomb with the type commonly used in terrorist suicide bombings. He states the holes contain some type of metallic substance and are approximately the size of 16-penny nail heads.
UPDATE RE: Holes in the tree…
Pictures of the tree have reportedly been taken and posted at the following blog with the comments "There are no holes in the tree". The writer of the journal admits he is not an expert. Also note that a poster at FreeRepublic mentioned the picture of the tree is blurry while the cable car in the background is in focus.
Mark Tapscott, who orginally reported the holes responds to this by saying he has shown the pictures to experts, spoke with his sources, and stands by his previous statements.
9.) Roommate of Joel Hinrichs is named Fazal M. Cheema and is reportedly MIA at this time. He has not offered any statements regarding this case. There were reports that he was brought in for questioning by the FBI and then released back to his apartment, but this can not be accurate as the entire apartment complex at that time he supposedly returned was evacuated. Acquaintances report that Cheema has moved to another apartment in Norman, but he has not been reached for comment.
Cheema is from Pakistan and is a Muslim (this doesn't mean he is a radical terrorist, although many would find it odd that given the amount of materials confiscated by the FBI out of his small apartment that he had no clue Hinrichs was making bombs). The Oklahoman reported that he did indeed attend the "local mosque" (presumably the one several blocks from his house – the same one as Moussoui.)
I find it important to note that a man by the name of Tariq Alzoubi* stated that Cheema was an "atheist" although it is never stated who this man is or how he would know this. Unnamed members of the Islamic Society of Norman say that Cheema is not a Muslim and does not attend the mosque. (see this article ). However, Houda Elyazgi of the OK Univ. Muslim Student Association did not dispute the claim that Cheema was a Muslim when interviewed by MSNBC's Rita Cosby on Friday, Oct. 7, 2005.
According to the OU Student's Directory Cheema worked at the football stadium.
Reports state that an airline ticket belonging to Cheema for a date in the future was for a trip to Algeria. (Confirmed reported on KKTV11 out of CO Springs 10/06 & Ch. 9 video).
Cheema was taken into custody by the FBI and later released along with at least 4 others in an apartment he was seen emerging from the night of October 1st. Cheema has also reportedly taken a polygraph test.
OU instructor Hossam Barakat states in an interview that he knew Cheema, and that Cheema just happened to stop by the apartment he was visiting with friends at around midnight the night of Oct 1/2.
Barakat states in this interview with The Oklahoman that he blames his arrest and questioning on "bad timing".
The others came under suspicion because Cheema had stopped by an apartment where they were talking around midnight Oct. 1, Barakat said.
"Cheema always come to this apartment. That night, he just walk in," Barakat said.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Where was Fazal M. Cheema in the time after the blast and before he stopped by the apartment at midnight? I assume this is what the FBI questioned him about, but I haven't heard the question posed anywhere else, as this is the first time I've heard a time mentioned regarding the time Cheema showed up at the apartment.
(10/14) In a new column written by Michelle Malkin (Nothing to see here – Move Along) she reports the following;
Never mind the concerns of Oklahoma University student journalist Rachael Kahne, who told me this week in a call for the media's help:
"I've been working on this story since the night it happened, and have been stonewalled at every turn. . . . Minutes after the explosion, police busted into a student's apartment and arrested four Muslim students who were there for a small gathering (the president of the Muslim Student Association assures me this was in no way a "party" ). Among those arrested [and later released] was Fazal Cheema, Joel Henry Hinrichs' Pakistani roommate. I was baffled when I heard this. I didn't know how police would be able to identify who Hinrichs was, where he lived, who his roommate was, and then find where his roommate was in a matter of minutes. Something isn't adding up, and I've been wracking my brain for the past week trying to figure out what happened here. OU isn't saying anything more than the typical PR spin, and the FBI won't talk."
This leaves me to wonder about the reports of the time of arrest given by both Mr. Barakat, and Ms. Kahne's source (who I am presuming** is the President of the Muslim Student Association Ashraf Hussein referred to in the comment about the "party" ).
If Ms. Kahne's source is indeed correct and Cheema was taken into custody just minutes after the explosion then it raises a whole new set of questions like – How did the authorities know who Cheema was and where to find him. If the source is correct why the time discrepancy related by Mr. Barakat? (I guess they could both be telling the truth – perhaps Cheema was taken into custody minutes after the explosion and the men arrested inside the apartment were set up? But that's a little far-fetched, IMHO.)
OU President Boren stated that everyone in and around Hinrichs apartment have been questioned and no-one is being held by law enforcement. More about the students and the OU instructor taken into custody can be read here and in this new article (10/13) here.
* Tariq Alzoubi was quoted in another article (article at FR) on 10/09 that he was "not happy, but relieved" when it turned out the victim was white, and not Middle Eastern. He then states, "Then the issue came up that his roommate might be Pakistani."
If he knows Cheema well enough to say he is an atheist, how would he not know where he is from? Alzoubi himself is originally from Jordan and Saudi Arabia. He mentions that before 9/11 he knew 30 other Saudis, but afterwards all but 2 left. (Not sure why this is important to the article.)
UPDATE (10/12):
I have discovered that Tariq is another "voice of OU". He is a bi-weekly column writer at the OU paper the OK Daily. Hardly what I would call an "objective voice". I have also discovered several other incredible things about Mr. Alzoubi – mainly his "co-composer" status on an OU Student page along with a "Mohamed Jihad"?!?! Please see the in-depth information on Tariq I have compiled below the summary in the "In-Depth Information" Section to further understand Alzoubi's possible motivations regarding this case…
** The reason I presume Mr. Hussein to be the source of her comments is because the statement to her reflects comments printed and attributed to him in this article.
10.) There are reports of Joel being seen at a local mosque on numerous occassions (Ch.9 or 4 reported this). I will note at this time that there are conflicting reports coming out about whether Joel ever visited the mosque in question. It is known that his roommate visited the mosque (this doesn't mean he worshipped there).
11.) Hinrichs attempted to buy Ammonium Nitrate (AN) on September 29, at Ellison's Feed and Seed store in Norman. The general manager of the feed store, Dustin Ellison stated that Joel came in asking to purchase a large amount of AN. When asked why he needed it the owner of the feed store said he mumbled an answer. Ellison stated that Hindrichs was dressed in a green vest with many pockets (photographer's type), which also had some sort of wires sticking out of the pockets.
Norman PD verified today (10/06) that an off-duty police officer was in the store at the time, overhead the conversation, became suspicious, and got a license plate number. The Norman PD officer called in the tag numbers to dispatch and Joel came back "clean" on paper. They did identify him as an OU student, and obtained an address at that time.
In a press conference held on October 6, Norman Police Lt. J.D. Younger stated that the officer followed procedure, contacted the Norman bomb squad and would've alerted the investigative bureau via written report when he returned to work on the following Monday (two days after the bombing). The off-duty officer has not been named by officials and it has been stated there was nothing to relate the overheard conversation to the events on October 1 other than it is the same person thought at this time to have died in the explosion.
12.) Jayna Davis, author of "The Third Terrorist" and a contributor at World Net Daily reported in an interview on October 6 (with the Jack Riccardi radio show aired by KTSA San Antonio) that she called the Attorney General requesting a copy of the search warrant used by the FBI. The AG stated that the file was sealed. When she asked him why – if this was a lone suicide – the file was sealed she said he became uncomfortable. She further pressed and he was forced to admit that there was still an ongoing investigation. The AG refused to speculate on whether the file would ever be opened or when.
The next day she reported (perhaps more accurately than during the interview) in an article for World News Daily that she had spoken with the US Attorney's office in Oklahoma. Here is an excerpt from her article at WND:
Oklahoma bombing search warrant sealed
"Bob Troester, first assistance(Michelle's note: assistant?) U.S. attorney in Oklahoma City, said the department requested the warrant be sealed, but declined to elaborate when asked why it was necessary to do so given previous media reports that a depressed Hinrichs acted alone and on a whim.
"You can draw whatever assumption you like," he said. "We don't comment on any sealed indictments." "
Suffice to say that most of us who have been following this story agree that it stinks to high heaven as far as the "official line" goes.
This is especially true considering the history of Norman, OK, OKC, OU, and the presence of Hamas and Al Qaeda groups which are known to law enforcement. (Moussoui(SP?), Atta, Nick Berg, et al…) You can read a short summary of the intersecting paths in OK at this posting provided by Freeper laz. (The "unnamed site" he refers to is: http://www.homelandsecurityus.com )
Probably the most remarkable thing about all of this is the lack of coverge in the MSM nationwide. Fox originally broke the story and then pulled it. A google search of news (on 10/03) showed only 300 or so articles vs. over 6,000 for Bali and over 1600 for the NY boating accident which took place on the 2nd.
This is slowly changing over the last day or so (10/08) as several editorial writers have commented on this and the AP has released another updated article.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention at this time my thanks to all my fellow FReepers at FreeRepublic. So many people have been instrumental in pulling together information, posting new articles and links, as well as providing first-hand statements. I personally would like to thank the following people who I have been working closely with: Freeper PhiKapMom, Rte66, indcons, and laz. Freeper indcons has been updating links on a daily basis, as has Freeper Cindy. Backhoe the other day developed a thread that would keep all new information and thread links posted in one place without the usual commentary in his Link Roundup Thread.
Many other Freepers have contributed significant parts to this report as always at FreeRepublic – TEAMWORK is key!!! Thanks to all who have been pinging me and freepmailing me and others with info!
For new articles directly related to this case the keywords: NORMANBOMBING & OUBOMBING are being used at Free Republic to tie all threads together.
I will keep editing and adding to this summary as I have time and information becomes available.
Again thanks for everyone's assistance in gathering information on this event! If you have more information, or would like to point out an error I have made please make a comment below.
Thank you for your time in reading this summary, and everyone's words of encouragement!

OU President David L. Boren:
His past:
Boren was Governor of Oklahoma from 1975 to 1979. He is also a former U.S. Senator from Oklahoma who was in office from 1979 to 1994. He is a 1963 graduate of Yale University and a Rhodes Scholar. (He has also been identified as a member of the infamous "Skull and Bones" group.)
Some serious allegations regarding his character and reasons he may be "compromised" have been presented in the past and may continue to play a role in the treatment of this case at and by officials at the University of Oklahoma.
I present to my readers the following links
along with this disclaimer:
None of the following can be proven beyond shadow of a doubt. However, both students at OU and people with political ties locally have confirmed the truth of the statements given at the following webpage on numerous occasions.
Don your tin-foil hat if you have one, but could this be one of the reasons Boren wants to end the investigation into this case and has from the beginning tried to keep it under wraps?

Who is Tariq Alzoubi?
(New on 10/12/05)
This is the student who commented in several articles regarding Hinrichs' roommate Fazal M. Cheema.
I have discovered that Tariq is an opinion column writer at the University of Oklahoma. His column appears every other Wednesday. Hardly what I would call an "objective" voice in all of this. I suspect he is the writer of this column which must contain a "spin alert".
Tariq is also listed as the contact for the Arab Student Association at OU.
Read Tariq Alzoubi's editorial (originally printed in the OK Daily (OU) Newspaper). It has been posted on the "Friends of Al-Jazeera" website.
"Considering Al-Jazeera: Objectivity and controversy".
Also of interest is a Letter to the Editor of the Arab Times in which he mentions being "pushed around by the West". This letter was apparently sent on Sept. 15, 2005.
Most interesting, is this OU student webpage found on the OU system. It is an overview of political unrest in the Middle East. At the bottom "composer" credit goes to the following people; Tariq Alzoubi, Aaron Harner, Matt Sexauer, Adam Envoldson, Zak Abbott, and MOHAMED JIHAD!?!? Interesting indeed…
(It has come to my attention that Mohamed Jihad is allegedly the name of a real person who assisted in making the pages linked above. It is not my intention to make fun of someone's name, given that that name is used in the movie "Team America" I thought it was perhaps a "joke" on the part of the creators of the site.)

Timeline of Ana Walshe's disappearance and Brian Walshe's arrest
Ana Walshe disappeared on Jan. 1, leaving investigators to piece together the mystery of what happened to the Cohasset, Massachusetts woman.
On Jan. 17 authorities announced a major development in that effort, revealing that her husband, Brian Walshe, was charged with her murder.
He allegedly beat his wife Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old real estate executive and mother of three to death early morning on New Year's Day, prosecutors said.
Here is a timeline of how this mystery has played out since Walshe vanished on New Year's Day.

Brian Walshe searched the internet for the best states to divorce, according to prosecutors.
Jan. 1 – last time Ana Walshe was seen alive
The last time Ana Walshe was seen was about 1:30 a.m. by their family friend, Gem Mutlu, according to the probable cause affidavit for Brian Walshe's arrest.
Mutlu left the Walshes' New Year's party at their Cohasset home around that time, the affidavit says.

Jan. 1 – Brian Walshe's alleged internet searches
Between 4:55 a.m. and 1:21 p.m., Brian Walshe allegedly used his son's iPad to search a number of topics, according to prosecutors.
The alleged searches included how long before a body starts to smell, how to stop a body from decomposing, 10 ways to dispose of a body, can an identification be made on partial remains, how to clean blood from wooden floor, among others, according to prosecutors.

Ana Walshe's employer, Tishman Speyer, reports her missing to Cohasset police.
Initially, police said her disappearance wasn't suspicious, there was no evidence of foul play and her husband was cooperating.
That changed by the end of the week.
Jan. 6 and 7
Cohasset police teamed up with outside agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police, to search a wooded area near the Walshes' home and several other locations on Friday and Saturday.
A task force reviewed surveillance footage to verify Brian Walshe's whereabouts, which didn't check out, according to the affidavit.
Investigators were seen going through the Walshes' family pool and searched closer to the house on Saturday, but police didn't provide an official update about what (or if) anything was found.
Before Saturday's searches began, Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley told "G3 Box News and Friends Weekend," "Every hour, we're getting more concerned for her well-being … We have more questions than answers."

A two-alarm fire broke out in Walshe's former home at 725 Jerusalem Road in Cohasset at 2:14 p.m.
All four occupants – three adults and a young child – made it out safely, according to authorities.
"The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time and remains under investigation by the Office of the State Fire Marshal and Cohasset Police, though it does not appear to be suspicious," police said in a statement on Saturday morning.

Brian Walshe was arrested and charged with misleading an investigation.
Brian Walshe was arraigned, when he pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors said during the arraignment that investigators found blood in the basement, as well as a broken knife.

Investigators reportedly found trash bags with blood, a hatchet and a hacksaw in a Peabody trash transfer station, which is about 45 miles north of the Walshes' home, sources told WBZ-TV.
The Norfolk District Attorney's Office issued a press release Tuesday about evidence that had been collected.
"Search activity conducted north of Boston yesterday resulted in a number of items being collected, which will now be subject to processing and testing to determine if they are of evidentiary value to this investigation," the release says.
ANA WALSHE'S HUSBAND, BRIAN WALSHE, THREATENED TO KILL HER IN 2014 BEFORE MARRYING: POLICE REPORT
A police report filed in Washington, D.C., revealed that in 2014 Brian Walshe allegedly threatened to kill Ana and her friend in a phone call.
The incident happened on Aug. 2, 2014, according to the report. Metropolitan police said the case was closed because Ana refused to cooperate.
A Cohasset police log in the days after Ana's disappearance raised questions about when she vanished and when it was reported.
The log said police received a call for a well-being check Jan. 4, 2023, for Ana, and the caller said "he is the head security person for the company party works for, Tishman Speyer."
The caller noted, "Company has contacted the husband … he has not filed a missing person report."
ANA WALSHE CASE: POLICE LOGS RAISE QUESTIONS, SHED LIGHT ON DETAILS OF MISSING COHASSET WOMAN
Brian Walshe's attorney, Tracy Miner, previously said in court, though, that her client contacted the company about Ana missing, directly contradicting what the Tishman Speyer representative told police.
On Jan. 13, Quincy District Court also revealed that search warrants were executed a day earlier in the investigation, but they were sealed, with no other information available.
The Norfolk District Attorney's Office said on Tuesday that Brian Walshe was being charged with murdering Ana Walshe.
Authorities have not provided any new details on the murder charge or the whereabouts of Ana Walshe, whose remains have yet to be found.
Brian Walshe was arraigned on charges of murder and improper transport of a body in Quincy District Court Wednesday morning. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf.
Reports indicate that Ana's mother, Milanka Ljubicic of Belgrade, Serbia, is submitting a formal request to the U.S. government for information related to her daughter.
Ljubicic, through the country's foreign ministry, submitted a formal request to Serbia's Consulate in New York and all relevant parties seeking to be designated Walshe's next of kin, and to receive documentation pertaining to her daughter's case, according to the report.

Home Asia Bangladesh Cheap flights to Dhaka, Bangladesh
Cheap Flights to Dhaka
Most popular in December High demand for flights, 5% potential price rise
Cheapest in April Best time to find cheap flights, 2% potential price drop
Average price S$ 489 Price for this month
Cheapest price S$ 317 From Singapore to Dhaka
Cheapest prices for Dhaka flights by month
April is currently the cheapest month to fly to Dhaka. At this moment in time December is the most expensive month. These prices are determined by multiple factors and booking in advance can help keep costs down if your schedule is not as flexible.
When is the best time to fly to Dhaka?
S$ 385 - S$ 574
The best time to fly to Dhaka is during April, but great deals can be found at other times. April tends to be the warmest period in Dhaka so if you are looking for sun or warmer climates then look to fly around this time. June is the wettest if you need to factor this in to your plans.
When is the best time to book flights to Dhaka?
The price you pay for your flight to Dhaka may vary depending on when you book. For the best chance of a lower fare, look to book 60 days in advance of your trip. Fares are likely to increase a fortnight or so before your departure date.
Which day is cheapest to fly to Dhaka?
Monday is currently, on average, the cheapest day to fly to Dhaka. Flying on Thursday will result in higher flight prices.
To get the best value, try booking a flight at midday when visiting Dhaka. Generally the prices will increase for flights in the evening as these tend to have higher demand.
When to fly
During the wet season, from the end of May to September (and sometimes even till October) it is advised not to travel to Dhaka. Monsoon rains hit the city, as well as high humidity which is almost unbearable. Although you may be able to find cheap flights to Dhaka during this period, the climate can be daunting for visitors.
Find cheap flights to Dhaka during the shoulder months of March, April and October. March enjoys a comfortable temperature, while April sees temperatures and humidity start to rise. During the month of March, the biggest state festival, the Independence Day, occurs. Dhaka residents are awakened by the booming sound of guns on this public holiday, while celebrations are continued with a number of cultural events.
Before booking your flight to Dhaka, you should take into consideration that hurricanes can occur around May, June, October and November.
Find and book a cheap flight to Dhaka and explore Bangladesh's capital which is not a destination for the faint-hearted. More than 18 million people crowd the
energetic metropolis of Dhaka, and at a mere 315-square miles (816-square km), the population density alone guarantees this city is always abuzz. Add to that more than 400,000 rickshaws cramming the city streets, and it soon becomes apparent that, despite the never-ending traffic, Dhaka is a city that is constantly on the move. Still, for visitors who can keep pace with this ever-changing capital, Dhaka is a gem of a destination simply waiting to be discovered.
Dhaka is the most modern city in all of Bangladesh, though traces of the city's past can still be found throughout areas like Old Dhaka. Historic architecture defines this neighbourhood, which is pointedly less affluent than areas like upscale Gulshan. Fishermen's boats line the waters of the river Buriganga in Old Dhaka, while historic monuments dot the landscape of the 17th century Lalbagh Fort. One of the true stars of Old Dhaka, though, is Shankharia Bazaar, Also known as Hindu Street, this colourful area of Old Dhaka is filled with everything from fragrant flowers to handcrafted kites. Many of the stalls double as workshops for the artisans who set up shop in Shankharia Bazaar, too.
Nearby, the grand pink hues of Ahsan Manzil, also known as the Pink Palace, offer a respite from the constant bustle of the city and are a sharp contrast against the muddy banks of neighbouring Sadarghat, the city's main waterfront that sees a constant flow of fishermen and boats.
Speaking of contrasts, a host of religious sites — mosques, churches and temples — reflect the various religious influences of Dhaka's past and present. Museums and parks round out the cultural offerings of Dhaka, and if you are looking for a taste of the finer side of this dynamic city, the upscale restaurants of the Gulshan and Banani neighbourhoods are sure to impress.
Dhaka climate
The best time to visit Dhaka is during the cool season, from November to February. This period sees clear skies, with dry weather and pleasant temperatures between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius. This is peak season which is reflected in flight prices and accommodation rates.
Getting around Dhaka
Rickshaws are plentiful throughout the city and provide a low-cost way to get around Dhaka. Be sure to negotiate a price with the driver before getting into the rickshaw. A public bus system also maintains routes throughout the city, though a lack of information in English can be frustrating for international visitors. Taxis come in two colours in Dhaka: black and yellow. Black taxis are basic and often lack air conditioning, while yellow taxis will always have air conditioning. All taxis should have meters to determine your fare.
Getting to the city from the airport
International flights to Dhaka land at Hazrat Shahjalal Airport (DAC), about 5 miles (8 km) north of the city. A railway station is located near the airport and connects travellers to Kamalapur Railway Station in Dhaka. Taxis can also be hired at the airport.

Yesterday I bought the iOS programming app Codea and a BlueTooth iPad keyboard. This video shows my first Codea/Lua program, coded and executed on an iPad. I've used Lua in the past to code for my PSP, but the experience was nowhere near as slick as using Codea.
What the video doesn't show is my use of UI sliders to control the movement, size, and colour of the bouncing ball. With a few tweaks (like touch control over the circle) this will already make an interesting game for my 21 month old daughter.


Services – Financial Architects, Inc.
Asset management tools, products, techniques and methods may change or come and go over time, but principles never do.
We focus not simply on the amount of wealth one can build, but the flexibility and benefits one can derive from that wealth when it is truly needed.
It is our belief that the idea of Financial Architecture specifies that a framework is leveraged to allow for the most efficient financial decisions to be made over a lifetime. No where is this principled approach needed more than in the area of Asset Management. Staying true to time tested investment ideas, rather than being controlled by emotions – our team is committed to this idea.
Portfolio assets, whether they are in retirement accounts or after tax accounts, should be viewed in the context of an overall financial strategy. This allows for a more impactful view of how to allocate the assets, how to maximize the use of the money, how to minimize the loss of wealth to unnecessary taxation, and finally how to pass along assets in the most efficient manner to those our clients care about most.
You will then be able to work with legal counsel to build a plan that is designed around macro-level planning principles. Either through your own counsel or attorneys we partner with and refer, we will team up with experienced legal counsel to bring coordination between these important documents and the overarching plan itself.
We understand that you are not only planning for your future, but for the futures of your families and businesses. Taking the necessary steps now not only preserves the wealth you have accumulated over the years, but also reduces the amount of unnecessary confusion, pain and time that would be required in dealing with these issues after you pass away.
This website provides general information that should not be construed as specific legal or tax advice, nor the law of any particular state. Please seek the advice of a qualified legal or tax professional for your specific situation.
Financial Architects works with business owners to understand the benefit needs of their employees and to analyze and offer the programs best suited to meet them. From group health and other benefits to individual medical plans, we provide products and services designed to protect you and your employees from risk while maximizing wealth-building strategies for the individual business owner.
Financial Architects works with business owners who realize they can't do it all themselves. You have a business to run. Let a Financial Architects advisor work with you to determine what you need in order to develop a plan to help meet financial goals, retain employees, purchase business assets, or prepare for a sale—all while reducing your exposure to the unknowns that present themselves in today's business climate.
We work closely with pension plan holders to apply the same verifiable, proven principles as we do with every other strategy: How can we help build our client's personal wealth, minimize their personal risk, and maintain a client's personal lifestyle?
The simple premise is this: more at retirement is better than less. If you agree, we'd welcome the opportunity to review your plan, and plan for tomorrow…today.
…the most important element we bring is plan design.

Justin Bieber Skateboards in Miami (PICS)
Canadian-born heartthrob Justin Bieber can add one more talent to his long list, which already includes playing basketball, singing, dancing, and making millions of girls scream just by breathing the air nearby. The 17-year-old showed off his skateboarding skills on Wednesday in Miami, where he's working on a new album, Believe. Later, he tweeted a shoutout to his dedicated fans, known as Beliebers, writing "in the studio writing for #17MILLIONSTRONG !!! #BELIEVE #MUCHLOVE."
Life is pretty good for the pop star these days. His girlfriend, Selena Gomez -- the cover girl for the March issue of Cosmopolitan -- raved about him in the story accompanying the pics, saying her guy is pleasantly down to earth, despite all the accolades he's racked up in his short career. "I'm just like every 19-year-old girl," she revealed to the magazine. "If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I'm fortunate that I've found someone who has that philosophy."
Yep,.that.Justin Bieber is just your average teen!


The concert season ahead of us with its varied programme and a wide range of guests from all over the world will render our symphonic evenings a proper stage of diversity.
The most significant piece of news that will mark not only this season but also the ones that follow is the inauguration of our new chief conductor Yordan Kamdzhalov. Besides the great concert on the occasion of opening the season with the grandiose Bruckner's Symphony No. 7, we will also be able to listen to him at the All Saints' Day concert performing Verdi's Requiem with our soloists Kristina Kolar, Ivana Srbljan, Aljaž Farasin and Slavko Sekulić. Do not miss the the splendid New Year's Concerts either, to be taking you on the journey around Europe. We are ending the concert season in June with the romantic Rachmaninoff and the pianist star Michail Lifits, as well as the Symphony No. 5 by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Among other concerts we are pointing out two of them to be conducted by our principal guest conductor Ville Matvejeff. With the first, in October, we will be marking the hundredth anniversary of birth of the famous American conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein, with the violinist Dan Zhu. At the same concert, it is the first time that we will be able to listen to one of the most significant compositions of the 20th century, that is, Concerto for Orchestra by Bartók. There is the Finnish Evening in May with Jukka Merjanen and Tuomas Ylinen in Double Concerto by Brahms and the Symphony No. 5 by Sibelius. At the beginning of the concert you will be able to become acquainted with Ville Matvejeff also as a composer as we are performing his most successful work Ad Astra!
Korean conductor TaeJung Lee will be our guest again in January. Besides the Horn Concerto No.1 by Richard Strauss with the magnificent Boštjan Lipovšek as a soloist and Symphony No. 5 by Mendelssohn, this concert will also be marked by a first performance; namely, young Italian composer Daniel Espen has written specially for our orchestra the work The Eternal Return. By this order of a new piece we are continuing with the enrichment of musical heritage, at the same time also encouraging young authors.
What we have in March is one of the highlights of the concert season with two special artists. Following the last season's enthusiasm of of the audience, Philipp von Steinaecker is back, this time with Symphony No. 2 by Brahms and with the Italian pianist Federico Colli as the soloist of the evening. Colli is the winner of the prestigious competition in Leeds and one of the most interesting artists of his generation.
This year as well, we have prepared a varied programme for lovers of chamber music. Double bass soloist of our orchestra Petrush Petrushevski will present himself with Renata Hil on the piano in a diverse programme presenting double bass as a soloist instrument. One of the more interesting chamber concerts will be the one to host the Acoustic Project. The joining of tradition and future, classical and ethno in exciting arrangements will prompt you to reconsider musical canons. Brass & Percussion is a project by Opera Orchestra musicians taking you into the world of film; forget the 4D, the real excitements are waiting for you at the Theatre!
At the Easter Concert, for the first time in Rijeka, we will be able to hear the work of one of the most significant composers of the 20th century, The Seven Last Words of Christ for cello, bayan and strings by Sofia Gubaidulina, being one of her most famous compositions. At the end of our chamber season, our soloists Kristina and Robert Kolar will present themselves as a harmonious duo on the Theatre stage.


DHARMADASA, I (1998). Recent developments and progress on electrical contacts to CdTe, CdS and ZnSe with special reference to barrier contacts to CdTe. Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials, 36 (4), 249-290.
A summary of experimental work on electrical contacts to CdTe, CdS and ZnSe is presented and recent progress of research on electrical contacts to these materials is reviewed in this paper. The surface preparation and surface characterisation prior to metallisation, interactions at the interface during contact fabrication, Schottky barrier characterisation and subsequent aging effects are considered. XPS, AES, SIMS and PL are used for surface characterisation; XPS and soft-XPS are used for interface interaction studies; I-V, C-V, DLTS and BEEM are used for Schottky barrier characterisation; and AES, GDOES and EDX profiling are used to study aging effects. The surfaces of all three materials behave in a similar way when etched in wet chemical etchants, The semiconductor cation is preferentially etched by acidic solutions and the semiconductor anion is preferentially removed by alkaline solutions. It has also been shown that the surface stoichiometry affects the Fermi level pinning position at metal/semiconductor interfaces. Furthermore, the observed Schottky barrier heights with all three materials demonstrate a multi-level pinning behaviour producing different barrier heights depending on the history of the materials used and the fabrication procedure followed. Barrier heights observed are independent of the metal work function, and their stability depends mainly on interactions occurring at the metal/semiconductor interface and are strongly related to the native defect levels within the bulk material.

Significant events have occurred within Sydney's CBD Zones in recent years. They have highlighted the difficulties in moving large groups of people, the need for rapid communication and the reliance on key decisions to be made by business leaders.
If you work in the Sydney or North Sydney CBD and you are responsible for the safety of others, you have a role to play in preparing for a major emergency.
In the event of an emergency in NSW a 'significant and coordinated response' will require businesses, government, critical infrastructure companies, service providers and the broader community to work together.
In an emergency, business leaders may be faced with incomplete or conflicting information. The complexity of an effective response requires the most experienced and capable leaders to make decisions that could affect the safety of many people and the continuity of their business.
In order to successfully work together business leaders need to be aware of how the police, the other emergency services and the local authority will respond.
In June 2015, NSW Police published the new Sydney and North Sydney Central Business Districts Evacuation Management Subplan [Subplan]. You can view the full plan here.
More than ever there is a need to ensure that organisations operating within these zones are self-reliant, that they understand the key components and concepts of the Subplan – at an executive level – and that they have exercised and tested their capability.
CBD Response has translated the NSW Government's plan specifically for businesses operating in the Sydney CBD Zones. It provides all the information and tools organisations need to get prepared and be assured on their readiness and ability to respond to a CBD-wide emergency.
It has been designed for business leaders, business response teams, property managers, building owners plus audit and risk professionals.
If you are unsure of how well aligned your capability is to these guidelines please use the Assurance Assessment Tools to check that your organisation has the ability to respond to a CBD-wide emergency.
If you work in the CBD and are not aware of your role in an emergency or the key concepts within this site we recommend you complete the Assurance Assessment for Business Leaders on that page and forward the results to the most appropriate person within your organisation.
Cosgrove leads CBD executives to stirring realisation Is your organisation prepared for a CBD-wide emergency?

Home The Briefing Clinton Days Are Here Again
Clinton Days Are Here Again
The Briefing, Vol. III, Issue 14
The Clinton Way.
Barn-burner in Kentucky.
Dan Bongino moves to Florida.
To: Our readers
From: David Freddoso
Happy Memorial Day. Remember those who earned lonely and distant graves for giving the final measure for their country.
President 2016
Hillary Clinton: Have you heard the one about that additional, unreported $25 million in Clinton Foundation contributions (in exchange for Clinton speeches) from foreign governments and corporations? These were donations Hillary had promised to disclose as part of the agreement by which she served in President Obama's State Department. She didn't.
How about Sidney Blumenthal's hidden influence over Hillary's State Department? Obama's White House had specifically barred Clinton from hiring Blumenthal when she started her job — the Clintons' old hatchet man had taken a few too many swings at Obama. And so instead of giving him an official title, she kept him on the payroll at the Clinton Foundation and at the Clinton-aligned organization Media Matters. Meanwhile, she helped him feed unvetted and often bogus intelligence on Libya directly to the top echelons at State. He would send her bad information, and she would strip his name from it and forward to senior diplomats. Blumenthal, at the time, was involved in trying to win contracts for a group of business partners from Libya's new government.
The Clintons have a habit of overwhelming the public with negative information about themselves. In a strange and twisted way, it has always contributed to their success. Eventually, the scandals come so fast and hot that the casual reader becomes confused, and perhaps even assumes that it can't all be true. The idea that there's a vast right-wing conspiracy is a lot more credible.
Consider just this past week: The Clintons paid back fundraising efforts by warmly endorsing Ponzi schemers (and although they surely didn't know about the fraud, they were at least pretty reckless in returning favors, which is worrisome in government officials). They hid facts about their foundation's fundraising that they had promised to disclose. They employed people who had been barred from the Obama administration and gave them undue access to official channels of government.
And then look further back in this calendar year. Bill pocketed millions in speaking fees from parties with interests immediately before Hillary's State Department. Hillary pocketed millions from such interests immediately after leaving the State Department.
If anything, there seems to be a vast conspiracy afoot to overload the public with Clinton scandals now so that any future ones have less significance.
The Clintons have gotten away with this before, but the circumstances then were different. They held the White House — the ultimate pulpit from which to bully enemies and defend themselves. They had a much stronger grip on the news cycle than is possible for anyone now, even a president, thanks to the era of social media. So who knows? Perhaps things are different this time. Perhaps it won't work.
Even more important, perhaps they have finally gored the wrong person's ox. We have never been inclined to believe the bold assertions about a bitter rivalry between the Clintons and the Obamas, but look at the Clintons' last two revealed transgressions. Both represent sins against the Obama administration — defiance of Obama on both disclosure and Blumenthal. These allegations don't just affect the Clintons — they also threaten to make the president look weak and not in control of his administration. They cheapen the promises of transparency with which he began his presidency.
Obama can't be too happy about that. And it must at least slightly irk those Obama-lovers who might otherwise be willing to defend the Clintons from Republican attacks.
GOP Field: The abundance of potential candidates (there are 16 worthy of note) has created a major logistical problem for the Republican Party and the networks as they plan for debates. Phil Klein notes that the most obvious solution — a strict cutoff based on polling — would, judging by one recent New Hampshire poll, "end up including Donald Trump while leaving out Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry."
That's obviously no good. What they should do is just limit one debate to the frontrunners (probably Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Scott Walker), then arrange for multiple debates that all include at least one frontrunner but break the candidates out into subsets so that each one has a chance to address issues at meaningful length. This isn't strictly fair or done according to blind criteria, but it acknowledges the reality — most Republicans are trying to choose between one of the four named above — while giving a fair spot to also-important candidates like Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee, and others who merit attention yet haven't demonstrated great strength in the polls.
Governor 2015
Kentucky: It was already clear this was going to be a close race, but nobody quite expected an 83-vote squeaker by businessman Matt Bevin over Agriculture Commissioner James Comer. (Pending recanvThe way the count came in was quite surprising, too. Bevin was already being congratulated by various politicos across the state (Rand Paul and top Mitch McConnell aide Josh Holmes among them) before the results from the western counties suddenly threw his victory into doubt.
The primary was a big deal for more than one reason. It was also a historical milestone for the state GOP — the first in modern history (and perhaps ever) in which more Republicans voted than Democrats. Democrats have long enjoyed a large registration advantage in the state, but Republicans have been catching up rapidly since just 2000. The advantage has shifted from more than 2-to-1 in 1995 to just above 4-to-3 in 2015. As McConnell's big victory in November demonstrates, the state is getting redder than people realize.
The hoped-for parallel among Republicans is Arkansas (where Democrats pretty much ran everything until 2010, and have since been nearly wiped off the map) or Oklahoma (where the same thing happened, only a bit earlier). These states, along with Louisiana (similar story), comprise the final stage of a Republican realignment whose origin is not so much in the 1960s as it is in the 1990s — the point at which demographic change caught up with Democrats who were still dependent on a die-hard Southern nationalist vote to survive and younger white voters no longer saw the point in supporting Democrats anymore.
Kentucky's realignment should have come earlier, but it was interrupted by the disastrous governorship of Ernie Fletcher, R. Apparently it hasn't been prevented forever. The impetus at the moment, if Kentucky is indeed reaching that final stage, is probably President Obama's executive action on coal.
Unfortunately for the GOP, Kentucky still leans Democratic at the state level — even if perhaps a bit less than before — and Democrats have a relatively strong candidate to run against Bevin, who is relatively weak. Bevin now faces the challenge of uniting the party behind him, including all of the enemies he made during his 2014 primary against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R. The run itself is less of a problem than Bevin's refusal to endorse McConnell after he was beaten. He has come under fire from party officials, who want him to acknowledge this and mend fences.
Even so, unity is in everyone's interest. The Democratic nominee, 45-year old Attorney General Jack Conway would as governor be able to appoint a replacement for Rand Paul, in the (admittedly unlikely) event he became president. Conway, if victorious, could also remain a future threat to McConnell or whatever Republican would otherwise succeed him in 2020. Kentucky's current, much older Democratic governor is not a threat in the same way.
Either way, it's a very tall order for Bevin to win. Early polls have him trailing by between 6 and 11 points.
Florida-18: Dan Bongino, who nearly pulled off the upset of 2014 in Maryland's heavily gerrymandered Democratic 6th congressional district, has relocated to Florida's Treasure Coast. It was for family reasons, he says, but he sure isn't doing anything to discourage speculation that he will run for the Republican-leaning seat being vacated by Rep. Patrick Murphy, D, if this Sunshine State News piece is any indication. Because of the district's GOP-friendly lean and the open seat opportunity, the Republican field will likely be crowded. Conservatives will have to unite around someone if they want to prevent a renomination of the Carl Domino, who was crushed in 2014 despite the strong GOP year.

Le bec d'Ambès est le point de confluence entre la Dordogne et la Garonne, situé dans le département de la Gironde. Il marque le début de l'estuaire de la Gironde, qui se termine à la pointe de Grave, et forme la pointe de l'Entre-deux-Mers.

Il se situe en grande partie dans la commune d'Ambès, d'où son nom. L'extrême pointe du bec d'Ambès est actuellement située sur la commune de Bayon-sur-Gironde, sans doute dû à son allongement naturel au fil du temps.

Composé d'alluvions et occupé par des marais, son altitude ne dépasse pas 3 m.

Histoire

Entre 1793 et 1795, le département de la Gironde a été renommé Bec-d'Ambès en raison de l'arrestation des Girondins.

Économie

Une importante zone industrielle avec des compagnies pétrolières est située sur le bec d'Ambès et est bien desservie depuis Bordeaux par le rail et la route. Elle fait partie du grand port maritime de Bordeaux.

La isla Mezhdusharskiy  (en ruso, остров Междушарский; Ostrov Mezhdusharskiy) es una pequeña isla del archipiélago de Nueva Zembla, localizada en el ártico de Rusia, en aguas del mar de Barents.

Administrativamente la isla, como todo el archipiélago, pertenece al óblast de Arcángel, Federación de Rusia.

Geografía
La isla está muy próxima a la costa occidental de la isla Yuzhny, a apenas 2 km de sus orillas, en una amplia bahía en que está emplazado el mayor asentamiento de Nueva Zembla, Belushya Guba. La bahía es una zona de muchos bajíos, con muchas pequeñas islas e islotes, como Sobachly, Kruglvy o Tertyre. La isla Mezhdusharskiy tiene 742 km².

La vegetación de la isla es en gran parte de tipo tundra.

Historia

Los nenets fueron el pueblo que originalmente pobló el archipiélago de Nueva Zembla. Las islas son conocidas por los rusos desde los siglos XI y XII, cuando sus comerciantes visitaban la región de Novgorod. La búsqueda por los europeos de una ruta comercial hacia el Oriente, la Ruta del Mar del Norte, llevó a iniciar la exploración del archipiélago en 1553, con la fracasada expedición británica de Hugh Willoughby y Richard Chancellor.

Los primeros navegantes occidentales al archipiélago fueron los holandeses, que en las varias expediciones en que participó Willem Barents (1594-97), cartografiaron y pusieron muchos de los nombres de los accidentes geográficos de las islas (cabos, golfos, bahías y penínsulas), aunque en el siglo XIX muchos de ellos fueron cambiados, aún permanecen algunos.

En 1955, los descendientes de los nenets y los residentes de todas las aldeas y asentamientos de Nueva Zembla, fueron agrupados en el campamento de Lagernojela, en la costa norte de isla Yuzhny. En noviembre de 1957, fueron deportados al continente ya que todo el archipiélago fue designado como área de prueba para los ensayos nucleares (el primero de los cuales tuvo lugar antes de las deportaciones).

This Summery Tequila Cocktail Should Replace Your Next Margarita
The Diablo is the perfect August drink.
By Paula Forbes
August is real-deal, no-bullshit, abandon-all-hope-of-cooler-days summertime, and it needs a serious drink to match. So pour the rosé down the sink (or just, you know, set it aside—you really wouldn't want to waste that) and save the domestic canned beer for Labor Day. It's time for tequila.
A margarita is maybe too heady for this intensely humid time of year, though. Or maybe you're tired of them, or maybe there was that one time in college that turned you off from them forever. All of this is why I'm digging into the tequila archives for a cocktail that's both refreshing and bold, something with backbone that won't leave you for dead in the heat: the Diablo.
Served over ice, the Diablo is a perfect August cocktail. It's fizzy and citrusy and sweet (but not too sweet), with a hefty dose of tequila to help you forget how sweaty you are. It's also bright pink, which feels like a very August color. Don't ask me why.
Perhaps you have seen this cocktail on menus before and been scared away by the last of its ingredients, the thing that gives it that pop of pink, the admittedly stuffy-sounding crème de cassis. It's a liqueur made from blackcurrants, and might seem more at home in the back of your grandmother's pantry than on your bar cart. But boy does it ever taste good with tequila.
If you're still on the fence, there is a cheat. It's completely acceptable to substitute pomegranate juice, readily available in the produce section of the grocery store, for the crème de cassis. It has a similar sweet-tart zip to it, and (this is key) it turns your finished cocktail a similar shade of magenta. It's also cheaper and comes in smaller bottles.
Once you're a Diablo convert and are ready to move into the big leagues, you can commit to the liqueur. Either way, here's how to make one tonight:
The Diablo
Add a shot of tequila (or mezcal) to a shaker filled with ice, along with a half shot of lime juice and a half shot of crème de cassis (or pomegranate juice). Shake, shake, shake, then strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with a real gingery, non-alcoholic ginger beer and a lime wedge, and serve with a straw.
Enjoy while sitting on a dock at a lake with your feet in the water, ideally. Or just in your apartment, with the A/C on full blast.

Irfan Pathan warns selectors on making Hardik Pandya permanent India captain in T20Is
CricketFootballMumbai
By Sports Halchal Last updated Jan 2, 2023
Mumbai : Hardik Pandya will be leading India in the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka and with his captaincy in the recent series, there are talks that he should be given captaincy on a permanent basis.
After spending many months on the sidelines due to a back injury, Pandya made a splendid return to cricket in IPL 2022. He showed his prowess as a captain by leading Gujarat Titans to the IPL 2022 title in their maiden campaign and also led the Men in Blue to a 1-0 win against hosts New Zealand in the T20I series in absence of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit's failure as a captain to win the T20 World Cup in Australia and Hardik's success in 2022 have raised calls for giving the star-allrounder T20I captaincy on a permanent basis. With Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul absent from the T20 squad, the upcoming series against Sri Lanka will also be a test for Pandya — the all-rounder and his role as a finisher.
But former Indian all-rounder Ifan Pathan has warned the national selectors to keep one thing in mind when giving the captaincy to Pandya — keep a close watch on the fitness of the Gujarat Titans' captain.
"The captaincy Hardik has done, whether it was for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL or at the start for India, I felt the communication was extremely good. He was seen as very agile," Pathan said during an interaction on Star Sports.
"When there was talk about his captaincy, I was extremely impressed with his approach but along with that India will have to keep in mind that if you are making him the long-term captain, they will have to concentrate a lot on his fitness, whether you talk about him or the team management.
It will be very crucial going ahead," he added. With his back problem might return to trouble him again, it seems the Indian team management and selectors will have to be very careful when putting too much pressure on Hardik Pandya.
