The letter, written by a group of former intelligence officers, reflects disgust with George Tenet's effort to burnish his image with his new "tell" all book. 28 April 2007 Mr. George Tenet c/o Harper Collins Publishers 10 East 53rd Street 8 th Floor New York City, New York 10022 ATTN: Ms. Tina Andredis Dear Mr. Tenet: We write to you on the occasion of the release of your book, At the Center of the Storm . You are on the record complaining about the “damage to your reputation”. In our view the damage to your reputation is inconsequential compared to the harm your actions have caused for the U.S. soldiers engaged in combat in Iraq and the national security of the United States. We believe you have a moral obligation to return <a href="http://backuponlinestorage.pconlinebackup.com/backuponlinestorage">backup online storage</a> the Medal of Freedom you received from President George Bush. We also call for you to dedicate a significant percentage of the royalties from your book to the U.S. soldiers and their families who have been killed and wounded in Iraq. We agree with you that Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials took the United States to war for flimsy reasons. We agree that the war of choice in Iraq was ill-advised and wrong headed. But your lament that you are a victim in a process you helped direct is self-serving, misleading and, as head of the intelligence community, an admission of failed leadership. You were not a victim.<br /><br />The following was sent to George Tenet today in care of his publisher.

Congress does not want you to move into a nursing home on Monday, give all your money to your children (or whomever) on Tuesday, and qualify for Medicaid on Wednesday. So it has imposed a penalty on people who transfer assets without receiving fair value in return. These restrictions, already severe, have been made even harsher by enactment <a href="http://emergencyflight.pcemergency.com">emergency flight</a> of the DRA. This penalty is a period of time during which the person transferring the assets will be ineligible for Medicaid. The penalty period is determined by dividing the amount transferred by what Medicaid determines to be the average private pay cost of a nursing home in your state. In Mississippi, this divisor is $4,600. Example: For example, in Mississippi, where the average monthly cost of care has been determined to be $4,600, and you give away property worth $46,000, you will be ineligible for benefits for 10 months ($46,000 ÷ $4,600= 10). Another way to look at the above example is that for every $4,600 transferred, an applicant would be ineligible for Medicaid nursing home benefits for one month. In theory, there is no limit on the number of months a person can be ineligible.<br /><br />Greg Van Kirk and his team of volunteers comprise Community Enterprise Solutions the not for profit he co-founded with fellow Guatemala Peace Corps Volunteer George Glickley to provide loans to rural constituents While working in investment banking in New York City in 2000, Greg Van Kirk read about Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus’ micro-credit work providing loans to the poor of Bangledesh. “When I turned 30 and read about Mohammad Yunnus’ work, I knew it was now or never, so I joined the Peace Corps,” <a href="http://datafiles.wwwfilester.com">data files</a> he said. Armed with his investment banking credibility, and accrued analytic and business skills, Van Kirk knew that what he needed was real field experience. His transformation from Peace Corps volunteer to social entrepreneur began in Nebaj, an indigenous, rural town in the mountains of Guatemala, where he found himself surrounded by nature and culture but with no facilities or centers for tourists to stay at or visit. Seeing an opportunity to help local people bring new money into the community and create new jobs, he donated his own money and solicited the support of family and friends and created five tourism-focused businesses: a restaurant, a Spanish language school, a guiding service, an Internet café, and an artisan store. Van Kirk said Jan.<br /><br />One sure barometer of a president's -- or senator's or governor's -- standing with the public is the quantity, quality and creativity of bumper stickers, posters, slogans and what used to be called "Guerrilla Theater." To my way of thinking, these products and activities are often more accurate -- and definitely more entertaining -- than scientifically-conducted public opinion polls. A few examples of my favorites from yesteryear: During the 1964 <a href="http://horizonhobby.hobbyonline.com">horizon hobby</a> presidential race, there was a best-selling button that had Senator Barry Goldwater's smiling face surmounted with the words, "In Your Guts You Know He's Nuts!" Back in the late 1960s, when then-California Governor Ronald Reagan was making a name for himself as the first line of defense against anti-war protesters at Berkley, there was a fast-selling poster that proclaimed, "Impeach Bonzo and his Buddy!" During the 1968 presidential election, Dick Tuck, the late "Clown Prince of Politics," lined up several dozen obviously pregnant women at a train siding, all holding placards proclaiming, "Nixon's the One!" In my more than 40 years as a political junkie, I cannot recall a time or a president who has garnered more buttons, bumper stickers or slogans than George W.

This penalty is a period of time during which the person transferring the assets will <a href="http://datafiles.wwwfilester.com">data files</a> be ineligible for Medicaid. The penalty period is determined by dividing the amount transferred by what Medicaid determines to be the average private pay cost of a nursing home in your state. In Mississippi, this divisor is $4,600. Example: For example, in Mississippi, where the average monthly cost of care has been determined to be $4,600, and you give away property worth $46,000, you will be ineligible for benefits for 10 months ($46,000 ÷ $4,600= 10). Another way to look at the above example is that for every $4,600 transferred, an applicant would be ineligible for Medicaid nursing home benefits for one month. In theory, there is no limit on the number of months a person can be ineligible.<br /><br />The following was sent to George Tenet today in care of his publisher.

Armed with his investment banking credibility, and accrued analytic and business skills, Van Kirk knew that what he needed was real field experience. His transformation from Peace Corps volunteer to social entrepreneur began in Nebaj, an indigenous, rural town in the mountains of Guatemala, where he found himself surrounded by nature and culture but with no facilities or centers for tourists to stay at or visit. Seeing an opportunity to help local people bring new money into the community and create new jobs, he donated his own money and solicited the support of family and friends and created five tourism-focused businesses: a restaurant, a Spanish language school, a guiding service, an Internet café, and an artisan store.

And the happiness of some of <a href="http://trendmicropccillininternetsecurity2005.pc911.net">trend micro pc cillin internet security 2005</a> us since then is, we think, well worth the pain we endured. It is an added joy to Mina and to me that our boy's birthday is the same day as that on which Quincey Morris died. His mother holds, I know, the secret belief that some of our brave friend's spirit has passed into him. His bundle of names links all our little band of men together. But we call him Quincey. In the summer of this year we made a journey to Transylvania, and went over the old ground which was, and is, to us so full of vivid and terrible memories. It was almost impossible to believe that the things which we had seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears were living truths. Every trace of all that had been was blotted out. The castle stood as before, reared high above a waste of desolation. When we got home we were talking of the old time, which we could all look back on without despair, for Godalming and Seward are both happily married. I took the papers from the safe where they had been ever since our return so long ago. We were struck with the fact, that in all the mass of material of which the record is composed, there is hardly one authentic document. Nothing but a mass of typewriting, except the later notebooks of Mina and Seward and myself, and Van Helsing's memorandum. We could hardly ask any one, even did we wish to, to accept these as proofs of so wild a story.<br /><br />That's it. I've had it. Again.

The penalty period is determined by dividing the amount transferred by what Medicaid determines to be the average private pay cost of a nursing home in your state. In Mississippi, this divisor is $4,600. <a href="http://vansaustin.vanster.com">vans austin</a> Example: For example, in Mississippi, where the average monthly cost of care has been determined to be $4,600, and you give away property worth $46,000, you will be ineligible for benefits for 10 months ($46,000 ÷ $4,600= 10).

We agree with you that Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials took the United States to war for flimsy reasons. We agree that the war of choice in Iraq was ill-advised and wrong headed.

Congress does not want you to move into a nursing home on Monday, give all your money to your children (or whomever) on Tuesday, and qualify for Medicaid on Wednesday. So it has imposed a penalty on people who transfer assets without receiving fair value in return. These restrictions, already severe, have been made even harsher by enactment of the DRA. This penalty is a period of time during which the person transferring the assets will be ineligible for Medicaid. The penalty period is determined by dividing the amount transferred by what Medicaid determines to be the average private pay cost of a nursing home in your state. In Mississippi, this divisor is $4,600. Example: For example, in Mississippi, where the average monthly cost of care has been determined to be $4,600, and you give away property worth $46,000, you will be ineligible for benefits for 10 months ($46,000 ÷ $4,600= 10). Another way to look at the above example is that for every $4,600 transferred, an applicant would be ineligible for Medicaid nursing home benefits for one month. In theory, there is no limit on the number of months a person can be ineligible. <a href="http://spywarekillersoftware.getspyware.com/freespywareremoversoftware">free spyware remover software</a><br /><br />The following was sent to George Tenet today in care of his publisher.

Armed with his investment banking credibility, and accrued analytic and business skills, Van Kirk knew that what he needed was real field experience. His transformation from Peace Corps volunteer to social entrepreneur began in Nebaj, an indigenous, rural town in the mountains of Guatemala, where he found himself surrounded by nature and culture but with no facilities or centers for tourists to stay at or visit. Seeing an opportunity to help local people bring new money into the community and create new jobs, he donated his own money and solicited the support of family and friends and created five tourism-focused businesses: a restaurant, a Spanish language school, a guiding service, an Internet <a href="http://fundraisingideas.cichbl.info">fundraising ideas</a> café, and an artisan store.

What if God should lose? What is Prof. Wells trying <a href="http://bestcelldeal.dealster.net">best cell deal</a> to get at? If you guessed it has something to do with the Iraq War and the God Squad, you're right. Here's the context. That is unthinkable to the evangelicals. They cannot accept the idea of second-guessing God, and He was the one who led them into war. Thus, in 2006, when two thirds of the American people told pollsters that the war in Iraq was a mistake, the third of those still standing behind it were mainly evangelicals (who make up about one third of the population). It was a faith-based certitude. Nothing good ever comes from certitude and absolutes, especially from the evangelical right. How can rational debate and dialog, so necessary to the health of our democracy, take place with people who are absolutely certain God is on their side and He is guiding America's political process? You can't. And that my friends is dangerous.<br /><br />Well recently with all the media attention on secondlife.com , I started my second life. Yes I currently have another life on top of my hectic Real Life! You may wonder what I am talking about but this is all about living in the virtual world. No it is not a game. It is more than a game. A virtual world where you can look pretty much as anything and you can create pretty much anything that you can imagine. Second Life is the 3 dimentional virtual world that received a lot of media attention lately. Hence I decided to give it a try about 2 weeks ago. Initially I thought it would be a game just like any other SIM games. However, when I joined I ran into to real people in a virtual world. Amazing! I've heard about people making money with their second life as well. So the first day I've spent about $40 for my account at Second Life. Note, it is free to join second life and it is free to do many things in second life. However, if you want to own any land and build houses or <a href="http://discovercreditcards.pcdiscover.com">discover credit cards</a> businesses then you need to upgrade your account to Premium. That is what I did the first day. Upgrade my account and then converted my US dollars into Linden dollars to purchase some land. Yes Second Life has their own currency! Hence within the last 2 weeks, I have engaged in about $250 worth of transaction in world. I've bought few parcels of lands and then sold them until I found a large waterfront property to make it my home base.<br /><br />I might have banged my head or something... but I am coming round to Richard. Out of all of them, his... erm... Richard-ness suddenly seems winner-worthy, admirable, not as annoying or grating as it has been. What's happened to me? Why do I care?

Yes I currently have another life on top of my hectic Real Life! You may wonder what I am talking about but this is all about living in the virtual world. No it is not a game. It is more than a game. A virtual world where you can look pretty much as anything and you can create pretty much anything that you can imagine. Second Life is the 3 dimentional virtual world that received a lot of media attention lately. Hence I decided to give it a try about 2 weeks ago. Initially I thought it would be a game just like any other SIM games. However, when I joined I ran into to real people in a virtual world. Amazing! I've heard about people making money with their second life as well. So the first day I've spent about $40 for my account at Second Life. Note, it is free to join second life and it is free to do many things in second life. However, if you want to own any land and build houses or businesses then you need to upgrade your account to Premium. That is what I did the first day. Upgrade my account and then converted my US dollars into Linden dollars to purchase some land. Yes Second Life has their own currency! Hence within the last 2 weeks, I have engaged in about $250 worth of transaction in world. I've bought few parcels of lands and then sold them until I found a large waterfront property to make it my home base.<br /><br />And guess what? It's in the Chronicle ! (No! Surely not!) So what have we here? Another incredibly insightful commentary on technology and education. (I can't wait to see Geeky Mom 's take on this, although she may well ignore it, as it's not really worth that much attention.) We have an associate professor who admits he's "doing pretty much the same things in class [he] was doing 20 years ago" (despite the fact that today's students are not the same as those from 20 years ago), who enquires among his colleagues about this new technology thing. And when they tell him about some of the ways in which he might use technology in his classroom, he proceeds to snark about each <a href="http://writingemails.emailstream.com">writing emails</a> option and dismiss it without engaging in any serious consideration of the topic. To wit: I can create a course that's more user-friendly and appealing to today's students by incorporating more Web-based elements. That could be as simple as placing my syllabi, lecture notes, and other course materials on my Web site -- which would mean that I first have to get a Web site. Um, yes...which implies that the effort involved in getting a web site today is analogous to what, scaling Mount Everest? Has he never heard of Blackboard or WebCT? Or, even better: To make my "Web content" more dynamic and original, I can record my classroom lectures and link the audio to my site in the form of "podcasts," which students can then download into their MP-3 players and listen to while jogging or playing video games.<br /><br />And guess what?

Yes I currently have another life on top of my hectic Real Life! You may wonder what I am talking about but this is all about living in the virtual world. No it is not a game. It is more than a game. A virtual world where you can look pretty much as anything and you can create pretty much anything that you can imagine. Second Life is the 3 dimentional virtual world that received a lot of media attention lately. Hence I decided to give it a try about 2 weeks ago. Initially I thought it would be a game just like any other SIM games. However, when I joined I ran into to real people in a virtual world. Amazing! I've heard about people making money with their second life as well. So the first day I've spent about $40 for my account at Second Life. Note, it is free to join second life and it is free to do many things in second life. However, if you want to own any land and build houses or businesses then you need to upgrade your account to Premium. That is what I did <a href="http://staminapro.clakec.info">stamina pro</a> the first day. Upgrade my account and then converted my US dollars into Linden dollars to purchase some land.

So what have we here? Another incredibly insightful commentary on technology and education. (I can't wait to see Geeky Mom 's take on this, although she may well ignore it, as it's not really worth that much attention.) We have an associate professor who admits he's "doing pretty much the same things in class [he] was doing 20 years ago" (despite the fact that today's students are not the same as those from 20 years ago), who enquires among his colleagues about this new technology thing. And when they tell him about some of the ways in which he might use technology in his classroom, he proceeds to snark about each option and dismiss it without engaging in any serious consideration of the topic.

Out of all of them, his... erm... Richard-ness suddenly seems winner-worthy, <a href="http://bestcelldeal.dealster.net">best cell deal</a> admirable, not as annoying or grating as it has been. What's happened to me? Why do I care? I shall now adjourn to a darkened room.<br /><br />An article by Gary Wills (one of my favorite intellectuals) in <a href="http://discovercreditcards.pcdiscover.com">discover credit cards</a> the current issue of the New York Review of Books asks a great question after making a great point: There is a particular danger with a war that God commands. What if God should lose? What is Prof. Wells trying to get at? If you guessed it has something to do with the Iraq War and the God Squad, you're right. Here's the context. That is unthinkable to the evangelicals. They cannot accept the idea of second-guessing God, and He was the one who led them into war. Thus, in 2006, when two thirds of the American people told pollsters that the war in Iraq was a mistake, the third of those still standing behind it were mainly evangelicals (who make up about one third of the population). It was a faith-based certitude. Nothing good ever comes from certitude and absolutes, especially from the evangelical right. How can rational debate and dialog, so necessary to the health of our democracy, take place with people who are absolutely certain God is on their side and He is guiding America's political process? You can't. And that my friends is dangerous.<br /><br />Well recently with all the media attention on secondlife.com , I started my second life.

Welcome to -- SCIENTIFIC ILLITERACY!! Today's contestants are... China EU (European Union) Japan Malaysia Russia South Korea USA We'll ask ten questions designed to measure literacy in basic scientific facts. <a href="http://pcanywhere.411anywhere.com">pc anywhere</a> ho do you think will do the best? Or the worst? Here are the questions (answers below): TRUE or FALSE? Lasers work by focusing sound waves It is the father’s gene which decides whether the baby is a boy or a girl All radioactivity is man-made The center of the Earth is very hot The universe began with a huge explosion Antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria Electrons are smaller than atoms Human beings are developed from earlier species of animals The continents have been moving their location for millions of years and will continue to move And, finally, the BONUS QUESTION: Does the Earth go around the Sun, or does the Sun go around the Earth? So, which contestant got the most answers right? Which part of the world's residents rate the highest in scientific literacy, and which are the worst? Average % of correct answers: 63% - EU 60% - South Korea 58% - USA 51% - Japan 50% - Malaysia 39% - Russia 37% - China Hm, I guess Communism don't work so well, do it? As an American, I'm pleased (and somewhat surprised ) that the USA did not do worse. But hats off to those Europeans!

Therefore, if you are curious about the shows but haven't seen them, read on. ) Doctor Who is an English science fiction series that initially ran from 1963 to 1989. Its triumphant return was in 2005 and is currently still in production. At this point, the show's entire history from 1963 to 2007 has gone through so many different editions (including ten different actors in the title role) that trying to discuss the series as a whole has gotten very difficult. These are my shorthand designations: Doctor Who = the complete older show that ran from 1963 to 1989 new Who = the current series TB = the years that Tom Baker played the Doctor While I know a little bit about Doctor Who and new Who , this article will really only be about TB , which is my era of expertise. This knowledge was acquired <a href="http://emailencryptionsoftware.emailwizard.com/emailencryptionsoftware">email encryption software</a> hen I was a kid in elementary school, when the most important event in my day was getting home by 4:30 to watch a half-hour episode of TB on PBS. Time moved on. I got serious about music and contemptuous of all television, including Doctor Who . In my early-twenties, prompted by my first trip to England, I rediscovered the show and started collecting the videotapes.<br /><br />Normally, people just show up.

The norm in web design, since it's start, is that links are identified by an underline. Adept web surfers troll for underlined text, since that text is generally considered a link.

They show up at work, or at a conference. They show up on vacation or even sometimes they show up at home. They aren't doing anything special, they're just doing. Well, I spent the day with several hundred enthusiastic people. This group, led by Jennifer Young, didn't just show up. They <a href="http://whoisserver.pcwhois.com/whoisservers">whois servers</a> rrived. They were purposeful and positive and prepared and in a hurry... but in a good way. It didn't cost anything.

Because the real argument has nothing to do with cheaper drugs and more to do with the fact that some people hate Wal Mart just for being Wal Mart. In this story about providing $4 generics to everyone, Wal Mart's employee benefit package is called into question: "critics argue that Wal-Mart's coverage calls for a deductible that requires workers to pick up the first $1,000 in medical expenses, and the deductible rises to a maximum of $3,000 for families." What isn't mentioned is that this plan is one of several options being offered to Wal Mart employees.
