Iraq's oil windfall

By Teymoor Nabili in

October 4th, 2010.

"Iraq Proven Oil Reserves Rise Significantly " declares the Wall Street Journal, echoing a number of other news sources.

But are they "proven"?

So far, we have only assurances from the Iraq's oil minister Hussein al-Shahristani*:

These aren't random figures, rather they were the results of deep surveyscarried out by the ministry's oil reservoir company

(CORI) Reform and FLAT OUT JUSTICE for the Innocent!!!

Posted by Darcy Delaproser on October 11, 2010 at 7:52pm

The Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) is a state-wide record of our involvement with the court system.Anyone who has been charged with a crime that is punishable by incarceration regardless of the outcome (even not guilty, without findings and dismissed charges are included) of those charges, has a CORI file.The reason I am fighting for CORI Reform is that CORI has been used to deny employment, public housing, loans and even education.

“Strolls Lake Merritt” is an 9×12 ink and water color print of a magical nanosecond encounter with an elderly Vietnamese woman. She seamlessly maneuvers between pedestrians and picture-perfect twisted tree limbs along the street and dirt paths of the lake, while pushing a rickety, rusty cart of neat piles of groceries and clothes. On top of all this, there is a live fish in a fishbowl.

Mostly invisible to the hoards of walkers and runners around the lake who never swerve to avoid a collision or e

FREDERICK BELL MISSISSIPPI DEATH ROW

Posted by Darcy Delaproser on October 11, 2010 at 5:15pm

In May 1991, 19-year-old Bell was charged for the robbery and murder of store clerk Bert Bell (no relation). He was tried, convicted and sentenced to death in 1993, largely because his trial attorneys failed to even investigate the case or conduct DNA testing beforehand.Since 1993, Bell has sat caged in a prison cell on Mississippi's death row, denied access to the courts, despite newly discovered evidence that strongly suggests he is completely innocent in this case. Bell's conviction was based

In my last article I posed the question of whether Black voters should rescue the Democrats again in the critical mid-term elections on November 2^nd. It is clear that the Democrats are in serious danger of losing control of the House and Senate. Therefore, once again the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is frantically reaching out to Black voters to ride to the rescue. I complained about the fact that the Democrats need the Black vote but h
