Tove Johansson from Stockholm walked through the Tel Rumeida checkpoint with a small group of human rights workers to accompany Palestinian schoolchildren to their homes. They were confronted by about 100 settlers in small groups, who started chanting in Hebrew "We killed Jesus, we'll kill you too!", a refrain the settlers had been repeating to internationals in Tel Rumeida all day.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>After about thirty seconds of waiting, a small group of very aggressive settler men surrounded the international volunteers and began spitting at them, so much so that the internationals described it like "rain." Then settler men from the back of the crowd began jumping up and spitting, while others kicked the volunteers from the back of the crowd and from the side.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The soldiers who were standing just a few feet behind the internationals at the checkpoint just looked on as the internationals were being attacked.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>One settler then hit Tove on the left side of her face with an empty bottle, breaking it on her face and leaving her with a broken cheekbone. She immediately fell to the ground and the group of settlers who were watching began to clap, cheer, and chant. The soldiers, who had only watched until this point, then came forward and motioned at the settlers, in a way which the internationals described as "ok… that's enough guys…."<BR/><BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>The settlers, however, were allowed to stay in the area and continued watching and clapping as internationals tried to stop the flow of blood from the woman's face. Some settlers who were coming down the hill even tried to take photos of themselves next to her bleeding face, giving the camera a "thumbs-up" sign.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>At this point, an international was taken into a police van and asked to identify who had attacked the group. The international did this, pointing out three settlers who the police took into their police vehicles. However, the settlers were all driven to different areas of the neighborhood and released nearly immediately. When one settler was released on Shuhada Street, the settler crowd that was still celebrating the woman's injuries applauded and cheered.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>A settler medic came to the scene about 15 minutes after the attack and immediately began interrogating the internationals who had been attacked, about why they were in Hebron. He refused to help the bleeding woman lying on the street in any way .<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Five minutes after the settler medic arrived, the army medic arrived and began treating the injured woman. When she was later put on a stretcher, the crowd of settlers again clapped and cheered.<BR/> <BR/><BR/>Police officers at the scene then immediately began threatening to arrest the remaining internationals if they did not immediately leave the area, though they had also just been attacked.<BR/> <BR/><BR/>The injured woman was taken to Kiryat Arba settlement and then to Hadassah Ein Keren hospital in Jerusalem.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Internationals were later told by the police that the police had not even taken the names of the settlers who were identified as having attacked the internationals and that one of the main assailants had simply told the police that he was due at the airport in two hours to fly back to France.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164092922951218262006-11-21T07:08:00.000+00:002006-11-21T07:08:00.000+00:00Does anyone here know anything about Casey Serin's...Does anyone here know anything about Casey Serin's new 'boss', Chris Record?

Of course the point I was making was that when one drives around the nation you can find lots of towns like San Angelo with lots of houses under $120,000. In San Angelo you can buy a fairly large and charming house by the University and some of the historic areas for under $100,000. Of course that brings the question back to cost in other areas. If 300,000,000 live in this country we all know that all of them can't live in La Jolla, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Miami, Boston, NY city, Portland, Seattle etc and so the question of cost is so diverse and relative. <BR/><BR/>If a home costs $19 a sq ft does that necessarily make it a good buy? If a house costs $400 a sq foot does that mean it is overvalued because as a cost for an average home in the WHOLE USA it is double the cost? Then the question of age. Even in San Angelo if you want new you are going pay closer to $100 a sqft for a nice house where the older ones go as low as $13 a sq ft with most being around $50 a sq ft. Is a 3000 sq ft turn of the Century house in the ghetto in Buffalo a bargain at $20 a sq ft vs an 800 sq ft condo in Austin at $200 a sq ft?<BR/><BR/>It seems that too often this blog turns the whole world into a homgeneous blob where all houses cost four or five times income or people pay California prices or that a $300,000 house in SD is the same as a $300,000 housein Shrevport LA. Even in cities like Phoenix there are markets within markets and prices that range from cheap to expensive. <BR/><BR/>And this site treats all buyers and consumers the same when there are vast differences in incomes, down payments, lenght of time when people bought, debt loads, family size, etc. As I use to tell co-workers at the hospital, it doesn't matter if you make $100,000 if you spend $110,000 you are in debt and over-extended where a person making $20,000 who spends $18,000 has a positive cash flow, sort of like some mortgages.<BR/><BR/>Still, for all those people who bemoan that they can't buy a house on two incomes say in La Jolla when they are 30 years old, move. If owning a house is that important to you then there are plenty of areas in the country that are very affordable.foxwoodliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09348399460824769686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1164080319943192722006-11-21T03:38:00.000+00:002006-11-21T03:38:00.000+00:00>>This one is in San Angelo >>Texas, kind of like....>>This one is in San Angelo >>Texas, kind of like..<BR/><BR/>a house that costs 29K??

NIAC has called for a thorough external investigation to assess the situation and to reprimand the parties at fault.<BR/><BR/>Outraged students have provided pictures and videos in Student tube site.<BR/><BR/>In the face of student outrage the UCLA Acting Chancellor issues an Statement.<BR/><BR/>See NIAC's investigation<BR/><BR/>Report posted by readers:<BR/>UCPD officers shot a student several times with a Taser inside the Powell Library CLICC computer lab late Tuesday night before taking him into custody. No university police officers were available to comment further about the incident as of 3 a.m. Wednesday, and no Community Service Officers who were on duty at the time could be reached. At around 11:30 p.m., CSOs asked a male student using a computer in the back of the room to leave when he was unable to produce a BruinCard during a random check. The student did not exit the building<BR/>immediately. The CSOs left, returning minutes later, and police officers arrived to escort the student out. By this time the student had begun to walk toward the door with his backpack when an officer approached him and grabbed his arm, at<BR/>which point the student told the officer to let him go. A second officer then approached the student as well. The student began to yell "get off me," repeating himself several times. It was at this point that the officers shot the student with a Taser for the first time, causing him to fall to the floor and cry out in pain. The student also told the officers he had a medical condition. UCPD officers confirmed that the man involved in the incident was a student, but did not give a name or any additional information about his identity. Video shot from a<BR/>student's camera phone captured the student yelling, "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your fucking abuse of power," while he struggled with the officers. As the student was screaming, UCPD officers repeatedly told him to stand up and said<BR/>"stop fighting us." The student did not stand up as the officers requested and they shot him with the Taser at least once more. "It was the most disgusting and vile act I had ever seen in my life," said David Remesnitsky, a 2006 UCLA alumnus who witnessed the incident. As the student and the officers were struggling, bystanders repeatedly asked the police officers to stop, and at one point officers told the gathered crowd to stand back and threatened to use a Taser on anyone who got too close. Laila Gordy, a fourth-year economics student who was present in the library during the incident, said police officers threatened to<BR/>shoot her with a Taser when she asked an officer for his name and his<BR/>badge number. Gordy was visibly upset by the incident and said other<BR/>students were also disturbed. "It's a shock that something like this<BR/>can happen at UCLA," she said. "It was unnecessary what they did." Immediately after the incident, several students began to contact local news outlets, informing them of the incident, and Remesnitsky wrote an e-mail to Interim Chancellor Norman Abrams.FlyingMonkeyWarriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770643973751363527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1163962809578199712006-11-19T19:00:00.000+00:002006-11-19T19:00:00.000+00:00Anti-Nuke Protestors Get Three YEARS In Prison in ...Anti-Nuke Protestors Get Three YEARS In Prison in ND<BR/><BR/>BISMARCK, North Dakota - Three men protesting the presence of weapons of mass destruction in North Dakota were sentenced Thursday to federal prison terms of over three years and ordered to pay $17,000 in restitution by a federal judge in Bismarck.

Sadaam opposed the radical Islam that roamed the streets committing crimes in these past few months.
