Credit: The Cabal 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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned. |

Thank you for the links.
Laura was good tonight and Jerry Brown thanked her for having brought him the news for months, before the major
newspapers, figured out what the War on Terror is all about.
Ah, but did you mayhaps hear that SK is sending more troops and getting protested over it heavily?
Then invite them to our thread and our fight on the WOT -g-
Serving: Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington
The Federal Regional Center (FRC) is located in Bothell, Washington, six miles from Seattle's northern city limit. The Region employs 85 full-time employees, and can draw on a cadre of over 300 Disaster Assistance Employees (DAEs) or "reservists" during a Presidential Disaster Declaration.
FEMA Region X administers the federal emergency preparedness, damage prevention, and response and recovery programs to Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. FEMA provides pre-disaster and post-disaster assistance to minimize the loss of life, and reduce damage and economic loss from natural and technological hazards. In both pre-disaster and post-disaster efforts, FEMA works in close partnership with State emergency management agencies.
I would say this is because of a threat usually being forgotten in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington; volcanoes (Mount St. Helens in 1980 for example).
Right now Mount Spurr is slowly awakening from its 5000 year slumber. Current activity is not related to 1953 and 1992 Crater Peak eruptions. But rather its main summit dome.
ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY WEEKLY UPDATE Friday, August 13, 2004 3:50 PM ADT (2350 UTC) ALASKA VOLCANOES MOUNT SPURR VOLCANO (CAVW#1103-04) 61°18' N 152°15' W, Summit Elevation 11,070 ft (3,374 m) Current Level of Concern Color Code: YELLOW Elevated levels of seismicity continue to be recorded at Mt. Spurr volcano. The level of activity has remained relatively constant for the last several weeks. Although this represents a notable increase over background seismicity levels, there are no indications that an eruption is imminent. Often this type of seismic activity will decline without producing an eruption. At 8:00 am ADT on Thursday, August 12, a pilot reported ash in the Hayes River valley north of Mt. Spurr. However there was no evidence of eruption in seismic data, satellite data, or subsequent pilot reports. AVO scientists visually confirmed that no ash was erupted from Mount Spurr on overflights on August 12. Steam emissions were observed and sulfur odors were noted. Mt. Spurr volcano is an ice- and snow-covered stratovolcano located on the west side of Cook Inlet. The only known historical eruptions occurred in 1953 and 1992 from the Crater Peak flank vent located 3.5 km (2 mi) south of the summit of Mt. Spurr. These eruptions were explosive, brief in duration, and produced towering columns of ash that rose up to 20 km (65,000 ft) above sea level and deposited several mm of ash on populated areas of south-central Alaska, including approximately 6 mm of ash on Anchorage in 1953. The summit of Mt. Spurr and the surrounding avalanche caldera is heavily mantled by ice and snow. The last known eruption from the summit dome of Mt. Spurr was more than 5,000 years ago. The primary hazards associated with future eruptions from the Mt. Spurr summit vent and from Crater Peak include far-traveled ash clouds, ash fall, pyroclastic flows, and lahars or mudflows that could inundate drainages all sides of the volcano, but primarily on the south and east flanks.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) Venezuela's elections commission chief says preliminary results indicate a vote to recall President Hugo Chavez has failed.
I wonder if the fear of acute lead poisoning reduced participation by anti-Chavez voters.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that this beloved Pope has been untiring in his earthly mission. Even as he sees the end of his life is at hand, he continues. Strengthen Pope John Paul II in the days ahead, O God ... grant unto him clarity of thought and resolute purpose until the time when this servant of God is called to Your side. Our times are in Your hand, Merciful Father, yet the mourning for this humble man has begun. Look with mercy upon us, O God, in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
Yes, that's the other missing student.
Thank you for posting the article.

I agree Selene. Seems the author injected a touch of empathy into the article. I found the information about the code words interesting, regardless. :-)
