Home-grown Web site funnels Islam’s extremist views to world…
San Francisco Chronicle – Oct 15, 2007
“America is known to be a people of arrogance. Unlike bin Laden, the blogger was not operating from a remote location. It turns out he is a 21-year-old American named Samir Khan who produces his blog from his parents’ home in North Carolina, where he serves as a kind of Western relay station for the multimedia productions of violent Islamic groups. In recent days, he has featured “glad tidings” from a North African militant leader whose group slaughtered 31 Algerian troops. He posted a scholarly treatise arguing for violent jihad, translated into English. He listed hundreds of links to secret sites from which his readers could obtain the latest blood-drenched insurgent videos from Iraq. His neatly organized site also includes a file called “United States of Losers,” which showcased a recent news broadcast about a firefight in Afghanistan with this added commentary from Khan: “You can even see an American soldier hiding during the ambush like a baby!! AllahuAkbar! AllahuAkbar!” Khan, who was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Queens, N… , is an unlikely foot soldier in what al Qaeda calls the “Islamic jihadi media. ” He has grown up in middle-class America and wrestles with his worried parents about his religious fervor. Yet he is stubborn. “I will do my best to speak the truth, and even if it annoys the disbelievers, the truth must be preached,” Khan said in an interview. While there is nothing to suggest that Khan is operating in concert with militant leaders, or breaking any laws, he is part of a growing constellation of apparently independent media operators who are broadcasting the message of al Qaeda and other groups, a message that is increasingly devised, translated and aimed for a Western audience. Terrorism experts at West Point say there are as many as 100 English language sites along with Khan’s.

Why We Compete
Washington Post – Oct 15, 2007
I’m sitting in the driver’s seat of my rental car — a PT Cruiser, for like the eighth consecutive work trip — and eating a turkey sandwich in the parking lot of a grocery store in Champaign, Illinois. Good country music station here, though, which is cheering me up. As always, feel free to e-mail me at saslowe@washpost. com with any questions or comments that we don’t answer here. OK, onto the chatter… The Prepa TEc athletic director, when pressed, could remember only one such situation: a volleyball player was recruited to a west coast school three or four years ago. No football players that he could remember. Because Monterrey Tec keeps so much of that home grown talent, they are indeed exceptionally dominant. They’re the best college program in Mexico, but a good measure. They have had three or four players move on from their to play in the NFL, if only briefly. _______________________Arlington, Va. : Eli, if you want to see some real impressive high school stadiums, head up to the Tulsa suburbs, and witness the behemoths constructed by Jenks and Tulsa Union.

Fringeford is all about soaking in nature experiences, breathing in hundred percent non polluted air, drinking water directly from a stream without a second thought about the bacterial content, lazing in a hammock under the gentle sun fanned by a slightly nippy breeze, coming face to face with wildlife and above all enjoying true peace and tranquility.
Megan Gale ‘offended’
NEWS.com.au – Oct 15, 2007
"We hardly ever see each other, so how can you have a rivalry with someone you never see?" she said. "Had all the comparisons not happened we probably could have been really good friends, so it’s a shame that (talk of a rivalry) affects that. "
Gale, whose career took off in Italy, said Aussies have a negative attitude towards home-grown stars – and it makes her miss life in Europe. "It ends up being a bit of a gossip-slinging match and it feels like my work and my career has been tainted," she said. "I love Australia but when that (media coverage of the rivalry) happens, that’s when I go and miss Italy because in Italy, they will pick you up and embrace you and love you for life – no questions asked. "Whereas here, it’s kind of like, ‘we love you or well, actually maybe we don’t – let’s examine you and decide if we love you or not’.
