Inside the ransacked Pakistani mansion where Osama bin Laden was killed, blood was splattered on the floor, bed linens were in disarray, and ABC News captured it in photos and video, scoring the first big exclusive of the aftermath.

The morning after President Obama announced that Bin Laden had been killed by U.S. special forces near Pakistan's capital of Islamabad, the network broadcast footage from inside the mansion on "Good Morning America." ABC correspondent Nick Schifrin, who has been stationed in Pakistan for years, appeared on the morning telecast and said that he had just returned from a tour inside the compound and reported that the pictures and video showed the Abbottabad compound where the raid took place.

"Looking at the video, it's a good TV moment," Schifrin said in a phone interview with the Los Angeles Times. "There's something about seeing it all for yourself."

Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (Arabic: أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن‎, ʾUsāmah bin Muḥammad bin ʿAwaḍ bin Lādin; March 10, 1957 – May 2, 2011)[1][2][3] was the founder of the jihadist organization al-Qaeda, responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States and numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets. He was also a member of the wealthy Saudi bin Laden family.

Bin Laden was on the American Federal Bureau of Investigation's lists of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives and Most Wanted Terrorists for his involvement in the 1998 US embassy bombings.[4][5][6] From 2001 to 2011, bin Laden and his organization had been major targets of the War on Terror.

On May 1, 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama ordered a raid of bin Laden's suspected location in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The operation was successfully carried out by United States Navy SEALs, with intelligence support from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).[2][7] During the 40 minute raid, bin Laden was shot in the head by the SEALs, the wounds of which were fatal. The SEALs commenced with intelligence searches of the building after which his body was taken into custody. Genetic testing and facial recognition were performed to positively identify bin Laden and his body was deposited into the sea for burial less than 24 hours after death



during his childhood life of osama bin laden..
Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[12] the son of Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, a wealthy businessman with close ties to the Saudi royal family,[13] and Mohammed bin Laden's tenth wife, Hamida al-Attas.[14] In a 1998 interview, he gave his birth date as March 10, 1957.[15]

Osama's parents divorced soon after he was born; Osama's mother then married Mohammed al-Attas. The couple had four children, and Osama lived in the new household with three half-brothers and one half-sister.[14]

Osama was raised as a devout Wahhabi Muslim.[16] From 1968 to 1976 he attended the "élite" secular Al-Thager Model School.[14][17] Osama studied economics and business administration[18] at King Abdulaziz University. Some reports suggest Osama earned a degree in civil engineering in 1979,[19] or a degree in public administration in 1981.[20] Other sources describe him as "hard working,"] but having left university during his third year[22] without completing a college degree. At university, Osama's main interest was religion, where he was involved in both "interpreting the Quran and jihad" and charitable work. He also wrote poetry.

In 1974, at the age of 17, Osama married Najwa Ghanem at Latakia. According to CNN national security correspondent David Ensore, as of 2002 Osama had married four women and fathered roughly 25 or 26 children.[26] Other sources report that he has fathered anywhere from 12 to 24 children.

Mohammed bin Laden was killed in 1967 in an airplane crash in Saudi Arabia when his American pilot misjudged a landing.[28] Osama's eldest half-brother, Salem bin Laden, the subsequent head of the bin Laden family, was killed in 1988 near San Antonio, Texas in the United States, when he accidentally flew a plane into power lines.

The FBI described Osama bin Laden as tall and thin, between 6'4" and 6'6" (193– 198 cm) in height and weighing about 165 pounds (75 kg). Interviewees of Lawrence Wright, on the other hand, describe him as quite slender, but not particularly tall. He had an olive complexion and was left-handed, usually walking with a cane. He wore a plain white turban and no longer donned the traditional Saudi male headdress. Bin Laden was described as soft-spoken and mild mannered in demeanor.

Many of bin Laden's children went to Iran after the September 11 attacks and as of 2010 Iranian authorities reportedly continued to control their movement.



how did Google and Bing respond?- for osama bin laden death. (they act for making money)

On a comparison like this it is good to know what my starting point is, what am I looking for and what am I hoping to find when using Bing and Google? There are a few things I’m looking at:

  • News: It off course is a current hot news item, so I want to know the latest news: is he really dead? What happened? Who killed him? Those kind of questions spring to mind.
  • Videos and pictures: I want to see what is going on, so videos would be nice and off course we want to see pictures.
  • History and related stuff: Why is this Osama Bin Laden so important? What makes it that people are dancing on the streets because he died?
  • User friendliness: Finally friendliness, how nice is the page that I am looking at, did they “get” my user intent and is it showing me the stuff I want to see?
  • Social: Finally we off course are looking for social integration. Have our friends noticed the news already?

The first look




News articles

So we start off early in the morning when the news has just broken. Google Trends doesn’t have any clue of what is going on at that time, but Google does. They have 13,3 million results ready for us, where Bing has 7.09 million. The search giant places a Google News block on top of the results. Bing not surprisingly does the same.

Google brings ‘only’ three major sources and then a lot of related articles after the click. They also show over 51000 realtime search results. That is, they are showing the link to the real time updates, not the updates themselves.


Almost four hours later: what has changed?

I took another look almost four hours later to see if the engines had changed anything. On both engines the results look similar to earlier this morning. The News-blocks are on top again, followed by the Wikipedia result.

Google still has five news related articles there, even though they are not all the same as this morning. Bing still only has one. But Bing does have the official Whitehouse page, with Obama’s statement on it there, which is a very nice move.

The biggest change definitely is on Bing and has everything to do with videos The “Videos of Osama Bin Laden” now shows four new videos. There is an ABC News video and three different videos with the President’s statement, from CNN, CNBC and Reuters. So Bing did a really good job there. What is interesting is that Bing seems to be placing the length of the video below it, but that actually is not the length, but the time the video was pushed out.






Social








osama bin laden Google social Search 300x115 Osama Bin Laden killed: how did Google and Bing respond?Finally the social aspect. First something I noticed on both search engines, which is not specific for this search, but something more in general. Both Google and Bing do not have a “share” option. Not for a specific result, but also not for the search in general.

When it comes to Bing’s results and social we can be very clear about that: there is nothing social here. No connections, no Facebook results (Why not? They have a deal with Facebook after all!) and no Twitter connection whatsoever.

Google has its social circle results in there. Even though it is pushed down to the bottom of the page, at least it is there.

User experience

Overall it again looks like Google and Bing are pretty close to each other. But also again the overall “feel” of the Bing results is better. They seem more up-to-date without them maybe actually being that much more up-to-date.

Use real life images to educate kids about the dangers of methamphetamine. Faces of Meth is a project of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. This project began when a deputy in the Corrections Division Classification Unit, Deputy Bret King, put together mug shots of persons booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center.

There are rollover images on this site that allows you to see what happens to someone after 3 months, 2.5 years or 1.5 years of methamphetamine use. You can also purchase CD's of the the images of the methamphetamine users from Here.



Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system. It is a Schedule II stimulant, which means it has a high potential for abuse and is available only through a prescription that cannot be refilled

Deputy King starts each of his presentations by saying, “I thank the men and women who, through their stories and photos, can share their experience with methamphetamine so you never have to try it yourself to know what it can do. I have seen and interviewed each of these people in jail. I hope that in seeing this you will make choices to not use methamphetamine and that I will never see you come inside my jail.” [Source:Facesofmeth.us]

racist test for you to check wheater your are racist

Tuesday, June 2, 2009 |

Can a five-minute online test help tell whether you are racist or not? In the US, two million people have taken one and now a UK version is available.

Racism is a reality encountered every day in Britain, but how many people actually consider themselves racist?

It's difficult to be sure because people's true feelings are inevitably concealed by their politeness. So much so that those who harbour prejudice sometimes cannot admit it even to themselves.

But a five-minute online test (see Internet links, right), devised by American academics and newly launched in Britain, promises to strip away the veneer of respectability many people hold on to, and plunder the prejudices we harbour in the unconscious. The result - a truer picture of one's attitudes.

Today most people search The Racist Test. The test created by Harvard that can supposedly tell you if you are racist. The Racist test site is https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit. It doesn't really determine whether you are officially racist or not. It just seems to tell you where your preferences are. However, it is being called the racist test.




Harvard Racist Test provide Demonstration and Research. The demonstration site for the Implicit Association Test. Read about Implicit Demo. The research site for Project Implicit. It measuring implicit associations for a variety of topics. Read about Implicit Research.

As soon as they flashed up to the stands in the middle of the Texas/Missouri game, I knew two things: the blonde was hot, and she must be Colt McCoy’s girlfriend. Turns out I was right (though I didn’t need confirmation about the former). Luckily Coed Magazine (via TBL) thinks the way I do, and they were able to do some sleuthing and figure out who McCoy’s girlfriend is. Turns out it’s Rachel Glandorf, a Bay lortrack athlete who also does some TV reporting — presumably how she met Colt. Anyway, I’m not into particulars. All that concerns me in the matter are looks. Good ones at that
McCoy won the 2008 Walter Camp Award and was the 2008 Heisman Trophy runner-up. He is Recently winning 2009 Fiesta Bowl in January 2009. Colt Mccoy hot girl friend is Rachel Glandorf.

Rachel Glandorf is a track and field star at Baylor, a television reporter for a CBS affiliate in Austin, and the girlfriend of a lucky Texas QB Colt McCoy. She is full name Rachel Diane Glandorf Born in June 15, 1987, in Los Angeles. She is daughter of Steve and Liisa Glandorf. She is athletic training major.

Closings List of GM Plant 2009

Monday, June 1, 2009 |

The plan includes GM’s total number of stamping; powertrain, and assembly facilities in the United States reduce from 47 in 2008 right down to 33 at the end of 2012. In total 14 U.S. manufacturing plants will be impacted.


The manufacturing plan reduces GM’s total number of assembly, powertrain and stamping facilities in the U.S. from 47 in 2008 to 34 by the end of 2010 and 33 by 2012. These totals reflect GM’s recently announced plans to build a future small car in the U.S. Under this plan, the New GM will achieve full capacity utilization of its assembly operations in 2011, two years ahead of what was scheduled in its Feb. 17 viability plan submission. This will result in lower fixed costs per vehicle sold, and lower and more efficient capital investment.

The New GM, under agreement with the U.S. Treasury, will consist of GM’s strongest operations and brands from around the world, resulting in substantially less debt and lower operating costs than GM historically has carried.

“Our manufacturing operations, which already are among the most productive in the industry, will emerge even leaner, stronger and more flexible, as part of the New GM, ” said Gary Cowger Group Vice President of GM Global Manufacturing and Labor Relations. “Flexible manufacturing enables us to quickly respond to consumer preferences and changing market conditions.”

GM’s Service and Parts Operations (SPO) announced today that it will cease operations at three Parts Distribution Centers in Boston; Columbus, Ohio; and Jacksonville, Fla. – by Dec. 31, 2009.

Assembly

Orion, Mich. - Standby Capacity (September 2009)
Pontiac, Mich. - Close (October 2009)
Spring Hill, Tenn. - Standby Capacity (November 2009)
Wilmington, Del. - Close (July 2009)

Stamping

Grand Rapids, Mich. - Close (June 2009 - Previously Announced)
Indianapolis, Ind. - Close (December 2011)
Mansfield, Ohio - Close (June 2010)
Pontiac, Mich. - Standby Capacity (December 2010)

Powertrain

Livonia Engine, Mich. - Close (June 2010)
Flint North Components, Mich. - Close (December 2010)
Willow Run Site, Mich. - Close (December 2010)
Parma Components, Ohio - Close (December 2010)
Fredericksburg Components, Virg. - Close (December 2010)
Massena Castings, N.Y. - Closed (May 1, 2009 - Previously Announced)

Service & Parts Operations (SPO) Warehousing & Parts Distribution Centers

Boston, Mass. - Close (December 31, 2009)
Jacksonville, Fla. - Close (December 31, 2009)
Columbus, Ohio - Close (December 31, 2009)

It’s the view of many analysts and the U.S. government, that the New General Motors will be stronger by consisting of GM’s strongest brands and operations. This means lower operating costs, less debt, but sadly also less jobs.
