TODAY’S TOP SCOOPS------------
Stateside: Bush Administration Babysitters From Hell
- "Math Instructor. 2 month assignment on US Navy ship at sea. Immediate openings. Masters Degree in Math required.
Central Texas College, San Diego." Try telling me THAT's not scary! It's an ad currently on the San Francisco
Chronicle's website sfgate.com. See... Stateside with Rosalea: Pass The Envelope Please [1]
Howards End: The Rub For Entrepreneurial Coasters
- When Government paid the West Coast $120 million of taxpayer's money to halt native timber harvesting, optimism for
new jobs was high. But a year on, the publicly-elected economic development trust who is charged with managing the
money, has not held a public meeting or produced an agenda or minutes for public scrutiny. See... Howard's End: Show Us The Money! [1]
NZ – Good Honest Country Since 1840
- NZ has been ranked as 3rd cleanest country in terms of corruption again by Transparency International. See... NZ Remains In Top 3 Clean In Corruption Countries [1]
Images: Whaling Protest At Japanese Consulate
- Giant eyeballs are protesting today at the Japanese consulate in Auckland imploring the Japanese Prime Minister not
to send his whaling fleet to Antarctica to kill minke whales. See... Japanese Whalers At It Again [1] . See also... Progress Towards Commercial Whaling Resumption [2]
Behind The Veil: S11 Attackers Unlikely Muslims
- Many people here in the Middle East believe that behind the acts of hijacking and building destructions and the
murdering of innocents were non-Muslim encouragement or assistance. See... Behind The Veil: Who Really Attacked The WTC? [1]
Robert Redford Pleas For Alaska Not To Be Forgotten
- It is understandable that we Americans feel an almost reflexive need for unanimity in trying times like these. As a
nation, we are rightly consumed with responding to the terrorist attacks on September 11th. See... Open Letter From Robert Redford On Oil Crisis [1]

Night. See... Reducing Suffering On Animals' Night Of Terror [1] . Meanwhile The Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind (RNZFB) is warning New Zealanders not to loose an eye

September has not only dramatically increased our costs, but has also caused a temporary halt to our usual fund raising
efforts. See... Urgent PMA Appeal [1]
Eyewitness Report: Civilian Casualties In Kandahar
- It was deafening. The walls shook and I heard glass shatter. Jolted out of bed, I held my breadth. The first thought
was whether our building was hit. There was a hiss as if of a low flying plane and then the second explosion shook the
walls. See... Eyewitness Report: Nights of Death in Kandahar [1]
Read Arabic News In English

that the pious promise made by the US regarding the preservation of civilian life is a fallacy”, says the Australian
Muslim Public Affairs Committee. See... Australian Muslims On Paying The Price [1]
