"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

M'Dear can you post the link for this article?

I"ll get a real translation up if you guys need it. I saw the posting earlier this week - Sunday evening I think - and did not see anything out of the ordinary in it. Those funky looking C's are an artifact that Ajeeb throws out as one of the Arabic punctuation signs.

The Arabic of the post looks more like it's predicting some sort of [rpvoked and enhanced racial tension as part of their attack scenario. The Ajeeb translation doesn't really show that. The original Arabic does make extensive use of metaphors.

More later when I get some coffee!

Police arrest 3 after divers found near Rio Grande


Two men who might have tried to smuggle drugs into the United States by scuba diving through a Lower Valley drainage tunnel early Wednesday were caught, Border Patrol officials said.

The two were wearing wet suits, air tanks and masks when they were found, officials said. A third man, the only U.S. citizen of the group, had a two-way radio and probably acted as a scout, guiding the others from the U.S. side, officials said.

All three were arrested and turned over to El Paso police at 3:30 p.m., Border Patrol spokesman Doug Mosier said. Their names were not released.

"This is probably the first documented instance (in the El Paso sector) of a smuggling attempt done with underwater diving apparatus," Mosier said. Such attempts were suspected before but not proved.

No drugs were found, but Border Patrol officials said the men most likely were smugglers.

The three men were found at a pump house at Springfield and Waterview streets after El Paso Water Utilities guards saw suspicious activity about 2 a.m. and called 911. The station pumps water that is pooling in the area and discharges it into the Rio Grande through a drainage tunnel.

That tunnel, 6 feet in diameter, runs about 80 yards to the dried-out river. Water filled the middle part of the tunnel, which drops at 45-degree angles under the Border Highway and the Franklin Canal.

The tunnel opening was blocked by a metal grate, but officials think the divers opened it with hacksaws.

It is impossible to guess what the game is. Stocks also fell over a 100 points.

there was a time that watching this was so simple, if gold was up, stocks were down, or they traded places.

About 1990, this was changed and the mining journals began to note the changes.

I have no knowledge worth talking about, in the stock world, as I felt that I would rather own a piece of raw land in the desert, than to own a worthless piece of paper.

Sister, Brother and Daughter, lost their retirements in the recent down turn, my desert land went up a dollar or two, at least I can pitch a tent on it. That is until zoning dept finds out and starts posting notices that you can't live in a tent........LOL
