The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Thank you! We really don't have time to deal with false alarms. If we have a problem we need to know and react now.

[Indie]

It was just an aside.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

What is happing with the dow. Radio said it was in a free fall.

[HipShot]

We have three freepers looking now. I appreciate the people here; the finest americans I know.

What concerns me most about the report is that 2 cases required mechanical intervention. That'd overload the system in a hurry.

What's Going Around -- 8/5/04

Snippet:

For the past two weeks, kids with viral gastroenteritis, a stomach virus, have been showing up in the northeast office of Dr. Gary Beach. He says the virus begins with nausea and progresses to vomiting and diarrhea.

It lasts about three to five days. Parents should make sure the kids stay hydrated and watch younger infants and children carefully. Call your doctor if any of the symptoms become extreme.

Mechanical intervention

That's one helluva parasite.

[SwankyC]

Did you fall down? I didnt understand what you were trying to say there.

[HipShot]

Thanks for the update. I'm torn; on one hand I'm glad that it's another "false alarm". I'm also concerned that those may end up to be someone's famous last words.

The recently-posted sketch of an airplane flying into some kind of structure, and the target(s) being called "two bows" is something we could spend a bit more time brainstorming on.

The targets for Sept. 11 were called "the birthday cake" (Pentagon) and "two candles" or "two sticks" (WTC towers).

What could the "two bows" be? Oddly, the thought of Mickey and Minnie Mouse's ears came to my head... i.e., Disneyland and Disneyworld.

NOthing in the newspaper at all except this:

A 39-year-old woman got severe stomach cramps after eating a hoagie at a convenience store July 5, becoming one of more than 300 people sickened in a recent salmonella outbreak that has hit five states. Roma tomatoes are believed to be the cause. ... never hospitalized and blame their illness on a virus or the flu. The CDC is now ...

I still have pings out to friends with kids, etc and waiting to hear. I have heard nothing myself.

Harris Regrets Bogus Terror Plot Claim

Thu Aug 5, 5:26 AM ET

By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Republican Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record) said Wednesday she regrets concerns caused by her claim that a plot existed to blow up the power grid in Carmel, Ind. City officials disputed the claims of a plot.

"I was told in an open, group setting that a recent situation threatened a Midwestern community and that it had been diffused," Harris said Wednesday. "I regret that I had no knowledge of the sensitive nature of this situation and any undue concern this may have caused."....

DFW terminal evacuated. Breaking.

[HipShot]

Thanks Indie. If this is so serious that it requires surgery, I'd think that it'd be all over the news.

Thanks again!

[Indie]

This is hilarious news re DFW:

Singer Linda Ronstadt has canceled her September concerts, including two shows at Bass Hall, scheduled for Sept. 14-15, the venue announced Thursday.
