( Got your secret Vast Right Wing Conspirator decoder ring on? )
I simply highlighted and copied the text and graphic to an Outlook Express "new message" email.
( You must have "view source" enabled in the email- poke "view" in the upper area and scroll down the resulting menu to enable it )
Then poke "source" in the email's bottom tabs and copy the relevant html.
I did this because I had the stuff handy in an email- that's the quick & dirty way to copy graphics, links, and text and translate it into HTML. I did not try going to the site and using the "view source" of the browser, which usually works as well.
( Hattip: the late, great JudyB1938 turned me on to that trick years ago. Sleep tight, Judy- I remember you fondly. )
Then did you do the standard <img src..... coding?

"Foreign man being held for feds"
By Liz Zemba
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Monday, August 7, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Most of the money, $3,400, belonged to Maisuradze and was found in an envelope in the van. The remaining $800 was in Zakutashvili's possession.
The men had visited the Eckerd store to purchase batteries, Tappe said. They told police they were en route to Philadelphia.
Tappe said the federal agent who investigated, Richard Nicoloff, did not ask Murrysville police to confiscate any of the items from the van.
"They didn't want the laptops or the cell phones," Tappe said. "That surprised me ... Just with the activities, and what they were doing, I'm surprised they let Zurabi go without questioning him."
Nicoloff did not return a phone call Sunday seeking comment."
I appreciate the updates.
Passport photos would be nice, too.

 Tuesday, August 8, 2006 NUCLEAR WAR-FEAR Iranian cataclysm forecast Aug. 22 Islamists seeking heaven could spark apocalypse, Princeton expert warns Posted: August 8, 2006 5:00 p.m. Eastern
© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com
A top expert on the Mideast says it is possible Iran could pick Aug. 22, the anniversary of one of Islam's holiest events, for a cataclysm Shiite Muslims believe will forever resolve the battle between "good" and "evil." Princeton's Bernard Lewis has written an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal advising that the rest of the world would be wise to bear in mind that for those who believe the end of the world is imminent and good, there is no deterrent even to nuclear warfare. As WorldNetDaily has reported, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged his people to prepare for the coming of an Islamic "messiah," raising concerns a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic could trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions will set the stage for the end of the world. He's also said, in a WND report, that Islam and its followers must prepare to rule the world, because it is a "universal ideology that leads the world to justice."
Now comes Lewis, who notes that the world must be concerned about a leader for whom the possibility of death is not a deterrent. "In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning," Lewis wrote. "At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead – hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers. "For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint, it is an inducement," he said. Lewis noted that Ahmadinejad has referred to Aug. 22 several times, including when he rejected – until that date – United Nations requests for nuclear program information. Lewis, joining several other Mideast experts who have expressed similar concerns, said Aug. 22 corresponds to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427. "This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back," Lewis wrote. In Islam, as in other religious, certain beliefs describe the "cosmic struggle" at the end of time. For Shiite Muslims, Lewis wrote, this will be "the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil." The significance, he said, is that there's a "radical" difference between Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons. "This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers," he wrote. Iran's leaders now "clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced." As for intent, a passage from the Ayatollah Khomeini, quoted in an 11th-grade Iranian schoolbook, reveals priorities: "I am decisively announcing to the whole world that if the world-devourers (i.e., the infidel powers) wish to stand against our religion, we will stand against their whole world and will not cease until the annihilation of all them. Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom." Lewis wrote, "This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadanejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind." Lewis, the Cleveland E. Dodge professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, specializes in Muslim history and interaction between Muslims and the West. His comments echoed those made just a few days earlier by Robert Spencer, another scholar of Islamic history, theology and law and the director of Jihad Watch. In an article for FrontPageMagazine.com, he wrote that Farid Ghadry, president of the Reform Party of Syria, noted the commemoration of Muhammad's ascent to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Spencer said the Night Journey, or Miraj, is what makes Jerusalem a holy site for Islam, and Islamic tradition believes Muhammad, along with the angel Gabriel, went to the Temple Mount, and then to heaven in a bathing of light over Jerusalem. Spencer reported that Ghadry talked of Ahmadinejad's plans for an illumination of the night sky over Jerusalem to rival the light of that Islamic belief. Ghadry said what the Iranian president is "promising the world by August 22 is the light in the sky over the Aqsa Mosque," Spencer said. He said a nuclear attack on Jerusalem, or even a conventional attack, would be consistent with the references that have been made, including Ahmadinejad's talk that Israel "pushed the button of its own destruction" by returning fire for Hezbollah's rocket barrage. Also, "Atomic Iran" author Jerome Corsi notes that it's less significant whether Hezbollah survives, "but it's really the first chapter in the play for Iran and the Shiite Islam nation to come to ascendancy in the Muslim world." First is the battle against Israel and the United States, he said, then against Sunni Islam. Where that group is more dominant, he said, is in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where group members are "not unhappy to see Iran contained." "They may launch an attack, but I still think if they had a weapon they would just go ahead and use it," Corsi said. "Terrorists don't brag about things they're going to do until after they do it." He said the recent comments are more typical of terrorists' efforts to get attention. "When Ahmadinejad is capable of taking action he will do it without any warning or bravado; he'll just do it," Corsi said. In the updated edition of "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," now available in paperback from WND Books, Corsi discusses many of the disturbing developments related to Iran. Meanwhile, Tanzanian customs officials have uncovered an Iranian smuggling operation transporting large quantities of bomb-making uranium from the same mines in the Congo that provided the nuclear material for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima 61 years ago, according to a recent report in the London Sunday Times. A United Nations report, outlining the interception last October, said there is "no doubt" the smuggled uranium-238 came from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's mineral-rich Katanga province. The smuggled uranium discovered by Tanzanian customs agents was hidden in shipment of coltan, a rare mineral used to make chips in mobile telephones. According to the manifest, the coltan was to be smelted in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan after being shipped to Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port. Uranium-238, when used in a nuclear reactor, can be used to create plutonium for nuclear weapons.

Bump!
THANK YOU freeperfromnj.
I'm collecting updates on this.
I appreciate the link.
GALANTAMINE + ATROPHINE = GOOD NEWS.
THANKS MamaDearest.
I just love good news.
Snippets:
.Whereas, the Society for Social Studies of Science welcomes further non-U.S. members, including scholars and students of Arab-Muslim and Chinese descent and from the Indian subcontinent;
.Whereas, Congressional passage of the Patriot Act of 2001 and Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 have led the State Department to erect barriers to the free flow of scholars and students, including unnecessary increases in ‘214(b) refusals’ (requiring applicants to prove they intend to return to their home country;
.First, new procedures for visa applications began to evolve. In November 2001, the State Department announced that visa applications from 26 Arab/Muslim nations would undergo special FBI security checks, requiring “up to 20 days,” before receiving approval. These countries included Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Dijbouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
.The Border Security Act required that applicants from countries defined as state sponsors of terrorism (North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, and Libya) had to complete an additional application form and appear for an interview with a consular officer.
.Delays and denials are typically explained as “214(b) refusals,” which means that applicants have not successfully proven that they intend to return to their home country. This section of the Immigration and Nationality Act states, “Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission.
.Third, the Justice Department is implementing a required registration system for all male, noncitizens over the age of 16 from the 26 countries listed above. All must report to an INS office to be photographed, fingerprinted, and interviewed. Any who fail to report face expulsion.
My question: where are the photographs of the 11 missing Egyptians so that American citizens may be enabled to identify them?
Good news - we'll take it where we can get it (smiling).
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%.
Thanks Velveeta:)
THANK YOU Godzilla for the summary and map and THANK YOU Backhoe for the chart.
Thanks! :)
You know, I might start posting links to the shenanigans of the IRA - help get the message out there!
August 22nd.
Thank you Smartass.
There had to be some sunshine somewhere, huh?
Whoa, those who disappear into the fabric of America before reporting wouldn't be showing up for their photographs (or worrying about expulsion when the penalty would be the same (expulsion) anyway) now would they??????
Whoever drafted this INS criteria for male non-citizens from those 26 countries sure wasn't putting national security on the top burner IMHO!
That's fine, Irish Thatcherite.
I post overseas threats here as well as threats to the USA.
I have found (in my cyber travels) that what happens over there (generically speaking) affects over here (specifically speaking).
There's sunshine everywhere - sometimes it's hard to find, but it's there somewhere! Seeing the light (on the other hand) isn't something everyone can do - liberals for instance find it impossible to do (laughing).
Giggling...the old h.u.a. is a dark space.
I certainly agree.
