The thing is that i laugh at, you believe this evidence. But when it comes to 9/11 theres an overwhelming amount of evidence(like this) that things other than a plane took the buildings down, and you still believe it was a plane on its own.

NAACP Demands Apology From Overstock.com Founder
The NAACP demanded an apology Friday from the founder of Overstock.com, who said Utah minorities who don't graduate from high school might as well be burned or thrown away. Patrick Byrne's comments were posted on YouTube. The video clip was from a debate two weeks ago in Provo, where he was speaking in favor of vouchers, public aid for families sending kids to private schools. A statewide voucher program, granting $500 to $3,000 per child, based on family income, is on the Utah ballot Nov. 6. On YouTube, Byrne says: “Right now, 40 percent of Utah minorities are not graduating from high school. You may as well burn those kids. That's the end of their life. That's the end of their ability to achieve in this society if they do not get a high school education." He goes on to add: “You might as, just throw the kids away." Byrne has made similar remarks in other debates.
24-Hour Party People Rediscover Manchester
The music scene in the northern U.K. city of Manchester -- famous for producing bands like Joy Division/New Order, the Smiths and Oasis -- is thriving again, with a new generation of bands tipped for breakout success in 2008. Many in the local biz see the buzz around the Courteeners and the Ting Tings -- both of whom have generated substantial coverage in the U.K. music press and have signed major-label deals -- as clear evidence of the city's musical renaissance. Other up-and-coming acts include alt-rock band Twisted Wheel, dance act the Whip and singer-songwriter Karima Francis. Watch the Courteeners and the Ting Tings and decide for yourselves if you like them. "Manchester is where it's hottest at the moment in terms of new music," said Danny McNamara, singer with Independiente-signed British band Embrace and promoter of Manchester live-music night the Aftershow, which hosted early gigs from many of the new wave of local acts.
ABC denies 'Jihad Sheilas' were duped
FOR as long as ABC journalists Mary Ann Jolley and Renata Gombac have been working on Jihad Sheilas, tension has been mounting within the corridors of the national broadcaster. Another ABC journalist, investigative reporter Sally Neighbour, had been working on securing the story of Australian women and radical Islam for the program she was working for, Four Corners. But it was Jolley and Gombac who persuaded Raisah bint Alan Douglas and Rabiah Hutchinson to be interviewed on camera. Jolley works for Foreign Correspondent and Gombac for the ABC's stand-alone investigative unit, which produces stories for programs across the news and current affairs division. They spent about six months working on this project, with a senior producer, Deb Masters, brought in at a later stage as executive producer.
Deregulation and the Financial Crisis
There were good reasons for the Fed Policy, but that did not mean the Fed was helpless to prevent the housing bubble. As economists Dean Baker and Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research insisted at the time, Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan simply by identifying the bubble — and adjusting public perception of the future of the housing market — could have prevented or at least contained the bubble. He declined, and even denied the existence of a bubble. Regulatory Failure Number Three: Financial Deregulation and Unchecked Financial "Innovation." A key reason that mortgages were made available so widely and with such little review of recipients' qualifications was a shift in which institutions hold the mortgages. Traditionally, banks made mortgages and held them.
State to get rare stone artifacts
People who found them did not know until recent years what they were."We had no idea," Abernethy said. "We didn't get too excited at first, just thinking they were kind of crude. They're not like real nice arrowheads."Bruce Huckell, a University of New Mexico anthropology professor, became aware of the discovery a few years ago and identified the artifacts for what they were, Abernethy said.Huckell declined to be interviewed, saying he was barred from doing so because of a commitment to the National Geographic Society, which has provided research funding. The society declined to allow Huckell to immediately be interviewed.Swenson said the Clovis artifacts are not the first to be discovered in North Dakota; there are some in private collections. But she said it will be the first time there will be such prehistoric items on public display, and the small site in Golden Valley County where they were found is the first documented Clovis site in the state."There's much to be learned since there are relatively few sites (nationwide)," she said.
