| REP. RON KLEIN REFUSES TO REMOVE KEITH ELLISON FROM ANTI-SEMITISM TASK ...
Both MAS and CAIR had recently been named by the U.S. government as being part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and CAIR had been linked by the FBI to Hamas. According to Kogen, Rep. Klein approached Ellison to ask him about the information he (Klein) received from his meeting with AAH, and Ellison told him that he had "publicly denounced" and would continue to publicly denounce the anti-Semitism from the groups (MAS and CAIR). Kogen told Kaufman that Rep. Klein was satisfied with Rep. Ellison's statements to him and that they were consistent with the principles of the anti-Semitism task force. However, Americans Against Hate points out that, to its knowledge, never has Keith Ellison publicly denounced any of the organizations in question. He has never denounced the anti-Semitism from the groups nor any of the terrorist connections of the groups.

Former Scottsdale apartment complex in limbo
A downtown Scottsdale apartment complex that was slated to be razed for a high-rise condo project continues to sit dark and vacant, leading to speculation that the owner is looking to unload the property. International Capital Partners of Scottsdale purchased the former Orchidtree Apartments in late 2006 and evicted the tenants last year because of costly air-conditioning repair issues. The company did not say the 10-acre site at the southeast corner of 68th Street and Camelback Road is on the market, but would not rule out that a sale could take place. Should the opportunity arise to sell rather than redevelop, well consider it, said James Petersen, ICPs marketing director. But at the present time, we continue to view Orchidtree as an incredibly important redevelopment piece to the future of downtown Scottsdale.
Mayor Ousted: Bartlesville City Council votes to strip title from Ron ...
We are networked through work internationally and there are so many people from here to Indonesia, Kazakhstan, London--you name it--and back, who email us one disastrous recollection followed by another--the experiences they had living here. Well, good riddance to Bartlesville--we say--and hello to better paying jobs (with sign on bonuses of a years' salary and more) in a real city! We will not miss this town! But it has been nice knowing you, Brady, and we are all so appreciative of your efforts to bring the BCC and Bartlesville into the 21st century. Nice blog, too, and it is nice to be able to share the way that we feel somewhere where it is 'safe'. I'm sure you can understand that we have to be careful and very discrete. In fact, I am borrowing a friend of mine's computer to type this now.
