<br />
"Along with our normal drama you'll get to dip into the ladies personal lives a little more," said O'Neal, who executive produces and stars on the series. "More kids, you'll get to meet some of the ladies parents and hear their story a little more. It becomes a little more personal this season."<br />
<br />
O'Neal's function on the show has become that of a peacemaker while the other ladies duke it out and at times throw punches. Yes, actual punches. In last season's finale a fight started between Antoine Walker's ex-fiancée Evelyn Lozada and Kenny Anderson's ex-wife Tami Roman. <br />
<br />
Highlights of Episode 3: Tami Roman pops off after discovering out she's the inspiration behind a new t-shirt line that declares, "You Are a Non F***N Factor B*tch." Jennifer Williams is eventually serving up divorce papers and somewhere in between we'll see Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada making visits to the fertility clinic to try to have twins.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Tune in to VH1 on May 30 8P/7C to see "Basketball Wives Episode 3" for these ladies in full effect. <br />

It turns out those who lost more than 15 percent of their body weight experienced notable increases in the fat-soluble vitamin D.<br />
<br />
"Since vitamin D is generally lower in persons with obesity, it is possible that low vitamin D could account, in part, for the link between obesity and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes," said Mason, the paper's leading author, published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "Determining whether weight loss helps change vitamin D status is important for understanding potential avenues for disease prevention."<br />
<br />
The year-long study - one of the largest ever conducted to measure the outcome of weight loss on vitamin D - involved 439 overweight-to-obese, sedentary, postmenopausal Seattle-area women, ages 50 to 75, who were indiscriminately assigned to one of four groups: exercise only, diet only, exercise plus diet and no intervention.<br />
<br />
According to the National Institutes of Health, vitamin D plays many crucial roles in the body. It increases calcium absorption and is required for bone growth and bone healing. Along with calcium, vitamin D helps protect older adults from osteoporosis and youngsters from rickets.<br />
<br />
The Vitamin D also influences cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and lessen the inflammation. Many gene-encoding proteins that influence cell proliferation, differentiation, and programmed cell death necessary to prevent cancer are modulated in part by the vitamin.<br />

<br />
Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said the watercraft obviously wrecked when it went under a small bridge about 6 p.m., officials were still investigating the reason.<br />
<br />
Lauren Ceradini, vice president of publicity at Epic Records, said early Monday morning that "Sean is stabilized" and controverted online claims that Kingston had died. Ceradini did not detailed on Kingston's condition.<br />
<br />
Hip-hop singer Trav, who features Kingston in his latest song, said he see Kingston at the hospital.<br />
<br />
"He is good in stable condition," Trav told CNN in an e-mail.<br />
<br />
Kingston's publicist at Epic Records, Joseph Carozza, gave a statement Sunday night confirming Kingston "was in an accident."<br />
<br />
"No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well wishes," the Carozza said.<br />
<br />
Earlier in the day, Kingston posted the following message on his Twitter account, which has more than 1.5 million followers:<br />
<br />
"South beach... #nicee... bout to get fresh and cause that movie!!..."<br />
<br />
The Miami-born artist's real name is Kisean Anderson. He changed his name to Kingston to reflect his Jamaican inheritance.<br />
<br />
Kingston shot to fame in 2007 when his launching song "Beautiful Girls" became a No. 1 hit in the United States<br />

The project of Desertec Foundation is a typical green energy project whose basic object is to produce electricity from burning sunshine of Sahara desert. The approximated cost of this project is around $566 billion, but its study work is still in its initial stages. Study on the project was started after a report justified that only few fractional parts of the total Sahara Desert can produce electricity for whole world.<br />
<br />
Future of this energy production project has gone in uncertainties. Some experts are claiming that the democratic governments, if they come in Arab World, will take this project more earnestly than the current dictatorships. But most experts frightened that the ongoing tempestuousness in Africa will take a long time to settle. Desertec might have gotten the label of 21st century's mega project for energy production in 2011. But many critics have started to point out that Desertec project is dead due to political and social unrests of African countries.<br />
<br />
Desertec Project was researched and organised by Germans - German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) has completed most of its research. Scientists of this institute all the same have hopes in future of project as Kirsten Swestphal; an energy expert of institute has said that she is thinking in the inverse direction. She thought that the pro-democracy governments would bring stableness in the economy of region. As democratic governments would be backed by civilians, they would take this project more earnestly. So project is not dead according to her.<br />

And just like in 2005, Patrick's 2011 Indy 500 ran out of fuel a little too soon, leaving her with a 10th-place finish.<br />
<br />
Patrick's day was a dull drive to the front at first. She dealt with slowly wearing her car into tip-top shape and picking off drivers one by one through the first three quarters of the race, and in the end moved into the teens in the later goings. That only led to more Indy 500 thwarting for the series' most renowned driver.<br />
<br />
Patrick's team adventured on a fuel-conservation strategy by roughness on Lap 159 and hoping for two things: enough green flag racing for Patrick's car to retrieve the form that had her running strong late, and a caution to give Patrick a chance to fill up before the finish. She got the former, and led 10 laps after taking the lead with 20 laps to go. But Patrick couldn't stop in front of Bertrand Baguette as her fuel drained, and in the end had to pit.<br />
<br />
That last stop left her racing to make the top 10 - which she did, at 10th, giving her six top-10 finishes at the Indy 500 in seven starts. But for Patrick, who appeared to be in every other commercial during the race, consistency isn't a problem; she's long proven that she can contend on the IndyCar circuit when her cars are strong.<br />
<br />
The issue is that the big breakthrough victory at the race she dreamed of capturing as a child continues to circumvent her. And while her public arguments about staying in IndyCar while learning NASCAR-style stock car racing are all well and good, continued fights to stand out in open-wheel racing will only fuel more discussion about whether she's not long for it.<br />

<br />
Delta Flight 2284, an MD88, blew at least one tire on landing after arrival at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport from Pittsburgh in the present day, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.<br />
<br />
The tire burst caused the landing gear to catch fire, and the plane surged burn as it came to a halt on the runway.<br />
<br />
When the fire department had the fire out, travelers were bused to terminal, the FAA said.<br />
<br />
Only three people suffered small injuries, which the FAA said may have took place when they left plane.<br />
<br />
"When we landed we could tell something was little off," passenger Peter Gitnik of Beaver, Pa., said "Pilot did a great job. It looked like the tire was on fire. It seemed really under control though. I think there were some minor scrapes but I'm not sure."<br />

In confidential documents from the CIA's super-secret Science and Technology Directorate, it was exposed that some Cold-War-era cats were surgically altered to become advanced bugging devices. The idea was that the cats would listen in on Soviet negotiation from park benches, windowsills and garbage containers. The cat was meant to just stroll up to the sensitive conversations, entirely unnoticed. The clandestine cat's electrical internals would then capture and relay the audio to awaiting agents.<br />
<br />
The project was begun in 1961. Former CIA officer Victor Marchetti narrates the story of the Acoustic Kitty:<br />
"They slit the cat open, put batteries in him, and wired him up. The tail was used as an antenna. They made a monstrosity. They tested him and tested him. They found he would walk off the job when he got hungry, so they put another wire in to override that. Finally, they're ready. They took it out to a park bench and said, "Listen to those two guys. Don't listen to anything else - not the birds, no cat or dog - just those two guys!"<br />
<br />
After several surgeries and hard training, the cyborg cat was ready for its first ground test. The CIA inserted the cat to a Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C., and let him out of a parked van across the street. The cat ambled into the road, and was struck by a taxi almost instantly. Five years of attempt and over $15 million in spending were resulted to roadkill in a moment. Shorty after its death a CIA operative returned to the site of accident and put the cat's remaining parts into a container to prevent the Soviets from getting their paws on the sensitive and expensive listening devices.<br />
<br />
Operation Acoustic Kitty was completely desolated in 1967, and declared an complete failure. Perhaps due to their awkward nature, the documents describing Acoustic Kitty remain partially censored even today. But one document does congratulate the Acoustic Kitty team for their efforts:<br />
"The work done on this problem over the years reflects great credit on the personnel who guided it, particularly (censored), whose energy and imagination could be models for scientific pioneers."<br />
<br />
While the memo says that the use of trained cats is possible, it also says that "the environmental and security factors in using this technique in a real foreign situation force us to conclude that for our (intelligence) purposes, it would not be practical."<br />

The news comes exactly a day after reports that the star would be taken off life support.<br />
<br />
Radar calls it "the end a long, sad road of addiction that made him one of Hollywood's exemplary storys." Conaway, known for his roles as Bobby Wheeler on 'Taxi' and T-Bird Kenickie in 'Grease,' was a New York native whose brutal battles with drugs came to define the latter decades of his fame.<br />
<br />
Conaway was kept into an LA hospital on May 11. As of May 26, he was reported to have been experiencing no brain activity. A source told Radar that Conaway's feeding tube had been removed as of Thursday afternoon and that "Jeff is in no pain whatsoever."<br />

Tonight, it was revealed that Bristol and Mark beat out third-place finishers Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy— even though one of the singer’s dances was awarded a perfect score on Monday. Palin, by comparison, has never garnered a perfect 30.<br /><br />This relatively shocking development—well, for Dancing fans, at least—might be evidence that some viewers have been voting for Palin because of who her mother is, rather than because of her ballroom skills. For weeks now, conspiracy theorists have been accusing Tea Party supporters of gaming DWTS’s voting system to ensure that Palin doesn’t get eliminated. The craziest thing about this accusation? It might not be off-base.<br /><br />Earlier today, Tracie Egan Morrissey of Jezebel took a closer look at conservative message boards, where posters reveal that they’ve been exploiting a glitch on ABC’s website that allows Dancing viewers to cast unlimited votes via email. Here’s some of what Egan Morrissey found:<br /><br /> Here’s a hint: They don’t have to be VALID email addresses to register them with ABC.com, there is apparently no validation process. The just have to be formatted like a valid email address, and you must use a valid zip code and a birthdate that makes you old enough to vote. I’m voting like a democrat, all night long…<br /><br /> No, it doesn’t have to be a valid email address – I had one of my anonymous ones XXX@yahoo.com that I used, and then just did the sign-up process all over again with XXX1@yahoo.com and it worked.<br /><br /> Got my 80 votes in online…took 2 hours. I am beat<br /><br /> I only got 42 in, I have some catching up to do!<br /><br /> Lord have mercy, I voted for 3 hours online! I got 300 in.<br /><br />If Palin somehow comes out on top next week, when she’ll be dancing against season MVP Jennifer Grey—the recipient of numerous perfect scores—then we might know for sure that something fishy is going on. Then again, considering all that’s at stake in this competition is a tacky mirror-ball trophy, it doesn’t exactly matter who wins. Right? Right?<br /><br />See a clip from tonight’s results show below.Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401740847226150091.post-28945193723660517272010-11-16T17:24:00.000-08:002011-06-30T04:53:15.459-07:00Eva Longoria Divorce<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oIuJtH4_Edh4nAd9yv2A2DdZEgC0ff0GZ6szU2xNWsBbueFttPW7gE4viFUV-r1bL1igMPeLmcQq9-RZvy5918HEUby3i1wsvUZVfOUCLHR-tbfG2AP8omay-Rmx-9B22kv3koYuDho1/s1600/Tony-Parker-Eva-Longoria-266x400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-oIuJtH4_Edh4nAd9yv2A2DdZEgC0ff0GZ6szU2xNWsBbueFttPW7gE4viFUV-r1bL1igMPeLmcQq9-RZvy5918HEUby3i1wsvUZVfOUCLHR-tbfG2AP8omay-Rmx-9B22kv3koYuDho1/s320/Tony-Parker-Eva-Longoria-266x400.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>TMZ reported that Tony had filed for divorce.

Robert Guerrero came in two pounds light at 133, with Vicente Escobedo a pound over that at 134.<br /><br />Our quick previews of both fights, and others from this weekend, are just one post below this one (or here's a direct link). Unless someone else takes the card on Saturday night, we will not have live coverage of the Boxing After Dark double-header, as we'll be focused on the superior Showtime event. The Showtime card starts at 10pm EDT, with the HBO card starting at 11:15, so there is a chance we'll be able to get the Judah-Matthysse fight covered. <a href="http://www.theusnews.us/zab-judah/3214744/"><b>Full Story..............</b></a>Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401740847226150091.post-82487442022418863742010-11-06T22:40:00.000-07:002011-06-30T04:53:15.459-07:00Mutiny On The Bounty<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTIrj7J_BOdhpRbN1S2zhExGPnIpmuKgTq9V0UZCScx7s73Cl5DN3eRLkvfne0xb3lUnEDpiUnDT7Irr9bPB6rBY79lToyr7L3UMUW2OD9cpXpdsDG1W4UdPb6rSUvUGYD56-gQPW0NXzY/s1600/mutiny+on+the+bounty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTIrj7J_BOdhpRbN1S2zhExGPnIpmuKgTq9V0UZCScx7s73Cl5DN3eRLkvfne0xb3lUnEDpiUnDT7Irr9bPB6rBY79lToyr7L3UMUW2OD9cpXpdsDG1W4UdPb6rSUvUGYD56-gQPW0NXzY/s320/mutiny+on+the+bounty.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b>Mutiny on the Bounty</b> is a 1935 film starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, and directed by Frank Lloyd based on the Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall novel Mutiny on the Bounty.<br /><br />The film was one of the biggest hits of its time.

She died on Wednesday after suffering for quite some time from liver disease. She had recently lost her husband, Luke Quinn, Jr. when he passed away in March.<br /><br />According to MSN, Denise Borino-Quinn had no acting experience whatsoever, but attended an open casting call for "The Sopranos," and impressed producers and directors of the show. She had attended the casting call to lend support to an actress friend who was trying out as well; never imagining she had the tiniest chance of even getting a call back.<br /><br />Borino-Quinn initially thought someone was playing a joke on her when she received a phone call saying she had been chosen for a role on the TV show that would be featured on HBO.<br /><br />This kind of positive experience rarely takes place when inexperienced actors try out for major roles. It simply worked out perfectly that Denise Borino-Quinn, who worked in a law office when she wasn't on "The Sopranos," had exactly what the directors and producers were looking for.<br /><br />Denise Borino-Quinn played the role of Ginny Sacrimoni, who was a mafia wife with a serious weight problem. She became a favorite with fans of "The Soprano."<br /><br />It is especially sad for family members that both Denise Borino-Quinn and her husband Luke Quinn, Jr. have both passed away within such a short span of time. To lose two loved ones in less than a year's time has got to be a serious emotional blow.Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401740847226150091.post-15096207152972336072010-10-31T00:50:00.000-07:002011-06-30T04:53:15.460-07:00Time Change Fall 2010<b>What is DST?</b> It is a practice of temporarily adavancing clocks for the miximum use of day light.Near the start of spring clocks are adjusted forward on hour are backward in fall.This is being done primarily to save the energy and maximum use of sunlight.<br /><br />Now as the fall is approaching, when is Daylight saving time?

The Canon s95 will be replacing the old PowerShot s90. The s90 was a very good release by the Canon Company and the people just loved it as the PC Pro camera. The S90 came with many new features<br />. Many changes are included in the Canon S95, so now people will start buying the new model.<br /><br />The changes that include in this new model are that the new one is a bit heavier than the s90 and it is slimmer than it also. The S95 looks better than the previous one because it’s a bit slim and slim cameras do look good and the others. The new Canon S95 is also having a tactile coating on it this will help the person holding the camera feel safer when it’s in his hands. This tactile coating is a good addition and it will prevent the camera from slipping from the hands of the user while holding it.<br /><br />The controls of the camera are almost all the same as the previous S90; there is also a selection ring now available that is present on the lens barrel. The video mode is now proved; the new camera is now having an option for the 720p HD video recording. This is a very good addition to the series; the users will no be available to record good quality video with their S95.Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401740847226150091.post-26594507547676761562010-10-29T07:09:00.000-07:002011-06-30T04:53:15.460-07:00Free Halloween Music<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlS03A1cgTiwhLf0Ov5Wm-uljAL6ov2q1vbaybf8FvAkUucPw3sClJs3JKsvypce0a8QfwxxXI-fPSAjtUUaSkSXOhyserC2yPhYMt4YGuOv5Lh6Iv9TrV-rspzfbpEDoYUM2yTWhVNYV/s1600/image_71.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlS03A1cgTiwhLf0Ov5Wm-uljAL6ov2q1vbaybf8FvAkUucPw3sClJs3JKsvypce0a8QfwxxXI-fPSAjtUUaSkSXOhyserC2yPhYMt4YGuOv5Lh6Iv9TrV-rspzfbpEDoYUM2yTWhVNYV/s320/image_71.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b>Trick Or Treat!

The song by Bobby “Boris” Pickett was released in 1962 (listen closely, and you hear him say at one point, “Tell them Bobby sent you”), and it has become one of the world’s most beloved Halloween songs for kids.<br /><br />Pickett was actually an aspiring actor who improvised the “Mash” bit at a performance while doing a Boris Karloff impression. It was such a hit that he developed it into its own song.<br /><br />Read on for links to the song plus three fun “Monster Mash” videos.<br /><br />Listen to a preview of the song on Last.fm, where you can also buy an MP3, and check out the lyrics here – but for the best Halloween fun, check out these three videos. The first one is great for little kids. The second one is a bit scarier, perhaps for tweens. And the third is probably best for teens.<br /><br /><object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0thH3qnHTbI&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0thH3qnHTbI&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g9Dz5yui0Rc&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g9Dz5yui0Rc&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AxcM3nCsglA&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AxcM3nCsglA&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401740847226150091.post-79272629721342875932010-10-29T06:02:00.000-07:002011-06-30T04:53:15.461-07:00Halliburton,<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FQ-yCsq21o-mWA7-b6JwMuXPomcNSsx6t8qQiJAUnB3Qn9ivoJ8oqx-dux-Jr-X2oQw4BNoKFUJjcqpi0VsG_Rc2jpe17WuNLcas0e6PhIkTnO9iuKCh6OrDBPHjuowi4iUEwfsoNFfn/s1600/alg_deepwater_horizon_explosion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5FQ-yCsq21o-mWA7-b6JwMuXPomcNSsx6t8qQiJAUnB3Qn9ivoJ8oqx-dux-Jr-X2oQw4BNoKFUJjcqpi0VsG_Rc2jpe17WuNLcas0e6PhIkTnO9iuKCh6OrDBPHjuowi4iUEwfsoNFfn/s320/alg_deepwater_horizon_explosion.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Next Tuesday Americans will be deciding whether to hand over even more of our government to corporations that have been plundering America -- such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, Wellpoint insurance, Massey Energy, and Halliburton, the giant oil services company.<br /><br />Not every large corporation is irresponsible, of course, but plunderers that get away with it gain a competitive advantage over the more responsible, and thereby lead a race to the bottom.<br /><br />Case in point: The staff of the presidential commission investigating the BP oil spill has just revealed that Halliburton executives knew the cement it was using to seal BP's Deepwater Horizon oil well was likely to be unstable but didn't tell BP or act on the information.<br /><br />In a letter to the commission's seven members, the staff found that the failure of the cement was a key factor in the blowout that caused millions of barrels of crude oil to escape into the Gulf of Mexico. (Not the sole factor, of course; most of the blame for the disaster, says the staff, still rests with BP and Transocean, the company BP hired to drill the well.)<br /><br />Halliburton has not exactly sat out this election. Last May, as Congress began investigating its role in the disaster, its political action committee made 14 contributions -- 13 to Republicans and one to a Democrat. Many were involved in the investigation; others had responsibility for overseeing oil drilling in the Gulf. It was the biggest donation month for Halliburton's PAC since September 2008.<br /><br />Halliburton, in case you've forgotten, is not exactly a model citizen. It has evaded U.S. taxes and export bans through foreign subsidiaries; admitted to bribing foreign officials (a subsidiary paid $2.4 million to a Nigerian government official in exchange for favorable tax treatment); conceded in an internal memo (leaked to the Wall Street Journal) its cost controls for government contracts in Iraq were "antiquated" and its procurement "disorganized; was found by Pentagon auditors to have overcharged estimated at $27.4 million for meals served to American troops at five military bases in Iraq and Kuwait (in one camp billing for an average 42,000 meals a day but serving only 14,000).<br /><br />The list of Halliburton's crimes goes on and on. And yet, somehow, Halliburton goes on piling up profits. How? Because of its deep connections to Washington.<br /><br />Dick Cheney hadn't had any experience in the oil business when he became Halliburton's CEO in 1995. But he did have experience in government -- as George H.W. Bush's Secretary of Defense. And those military ties were invaluable to the company. Under his reign, Halliburton rose from 73rd to 18th on the Pentagon's list of top contractors, and the money garnered from government-sponsored agencies (such as the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Export-Import Bank) soared from $100 million in the five years prior to Cheney's arrival to $1.5 billion a few years after.<br /><br />As vice president to George W. Bush, Cheney made sure Halliburton's stunning performance would continue (Cheney continued to receive checks from the company). According to congressional inquiries, Cheney's vice presidential office was instrumental in forcing the Environmental Protection Agency to remove sections on climate change from reports in 2002 and 2003 (a process Christine Todd Whitman, then the E.P.A. administrator, subsequently described as "brutal.") The Bush-Cheney administration also sought to control or censor congressional testimony about climate change by federal employees, and tampered with other reports in order to inject uncertainty into the climate debate.<br /><br />Which brings us back to the Deepwater Horizon blowout. Halliburton's executives knew the cement it used to seal the well was filled with mud -- but Halliburton said nothing presumably because doing the job correctly would have cost too much. And, hell, Halliburton is in business to make money.<br /><br />Halliburton isn't on the ballot next Tuesday, but it might as well be.Mubasharhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03476840035469128002noreply@blogger.com1
