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. |

I was referring to the article you posted, sorry - no good stories here. ;-)
Oh, sorry.
no problem. :)
Yankee Stadium Power Outage
Excerpt from article linked below:
"Right after Matsui misplayed the fly ball in the seventh inning, the power on all scoreboards went out, and the public-address and sound effects system went silent. But the stadium lights stayed on, and the game continued without a delay.
There was no immediate word on what caused the outage, which lasted until the end of the game. The problem also took the Yankees' YES Network broadcast off the air.
It made for an odd scene when the top of the seventh ended. Without longtime PA man Bob Sheppard to prompt them, the 53,530 fans did not stand for "God Bless America" or "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" - then again, the songs weren't played.
Instead, the crowd began chanting "Let's go, Yankees!" Later, the video board that stayed on posted this sign: "Clap Along Fans!"
Not that it did any good with Ortiz on the mound. Even without the scoreboard to keep track of balls and strikes, it was easy to tell how many runs the Yankees scored against him: zero."

There have been several stadium power outages in the past couple of weeks. I don't know if this is common, but there was a recent terror warning for sporting event.

Found this nifty radar program. I've used applications like this before (like SwiftWx) but this one is REALLY worth looking at. And it's F R E E! Takes about an hour or so to set up all the way if you want street level mapping. If you like keeping an eye on approaching weather threats, this one will help you do that.

Thanks RHW, I actually just found that same program a few days ago. I've been testing it out recently, it is very nice. I love the new smoothing capabilities. They also offer level 2 software that you have to pay for, but it is incredible.

Mail call.
Thanks for the map grizzfan.
Armadillos are known to be Leprosy carriers, also.
I just pinged you to another thread and a BUNCH of the TM'rs here. Something really odd happened today and it needs to be investigated. So watch for the ping.
Cindy, on the second line, the New York search, there is
a news story about 2 crew members that the U.S. insisted
not be allowed on flight 985 of Egypt Air.
It is from Cairo (the news report).
appears that for some reason the U.S. will not allow those
2 people in the U.S.
Interesting that we are stopping them in Egypt and not
waiting for them here.
bump for later
We think alike
7,000 cases of Leporsy in US. That's enough to make be never leave the house!
Re: Shukrijumah
He is not a "Saudi" He is not a Saudi Citizen. He was only born there. He is a muslim.
I thought you were never going to post again. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at church or "something". Why are you pushing "Look out for Shukrijumah" ?
Ummm, mind if I ask what is going on?
