"The other two ushers had accepted my business cards with a smile and a
thank you and I repeating both back to them, but that 3rd usher said something
different when I offered my business cards and I'll type that story tomorrow...."
"It is against fair ground's rules to solicit on fair ground property."
I thought at first, considering my long hair, and the usher's of the word solicit,
that he thought I was a male prostitute, but the usher then said, "do you have
a ticket" and I said, "yes, my son has it and he is already seated." The usher
appeared not to believe me, so I said "I'll just go" and went out the near west
gate where I could still see and hear the concert.
The moral of this brief exchange between the usher and I, is that that rule
he said to me is not related to common sense and does not need obeying
and the usher who may obey all the rules, does not have much time for
being free....

A suspect of bombings in New York City and New Jersey was captured in
Linden, New Jersey, on Monday morning after a shootout, authorities
confirmed. Two police officers were reportedly shot and wounded in a
confrontation with 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami, an American citizen
from Afghanistan.
Police launched a manhunt Monday in connection to the Manhattan
bombing, which injured 29 people on Saturday night. Police also said
that the same man was being sought for questioning in a bombing in the
New Jersey shore town of Seaside Park, which they believed to be linked,
according to the Associated Press.
An Amber Alert with his name went out on cellphones in the area Monday
morning. Mayor Bill de Blasio warned residents that he could be “armed
and dangerous.”....

The alert came out the same day as the discovery of a backpack containing
at least five explosive devices in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The bag exploded
when a bomb disposal robot was trying to deactivate it.
After the shootout, Rahami was taken away in an ambulance. Authorities

F.B.I. Treats Minnesota Mall Stabbing Attack as ‘Potential Act of Terrorism’
SEPT. 18, 2016
“He was a normal American kid,” said Jama Alimad, a leader among
St. Cloud’s ethnic Somalis and a friend of the Adan family, who had seen
Mr. Adan as recently as this summer. “I can’t see anyone more assimilated
than that guy.”
Friends Say Minnesota Attacker Was ‘Normal American Kid’
By MITCH SMITH and RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA - SEPT. 19, 2016
Somali-American leaders in St. Cloud, Minn., were among the speakers
at an interfaith news conference Monday, two days after 10 people were
stabbed." Credit Angela Jimenez for The New York Times.
"ST. CLOUD, Minn. — The man who the police say stabbed 10 people at a
mall here on Saturday seemed like a model of assimilation, not a violent
jihadist, people who knew him and his family said. The son of Somali
refugees, he lived in the United States most of his life, did well in school,
played sports, worked as a security guard and took classes at a local
college.
But a new description has been applied to him: terrorist. As he stalked
through the Crossroads Center mall, wearing a security guard uniform
and wielding a knife, the attacker, identified by officials on Monday as
Dahir Adan, 20, mentioned Allah and asked at least one victim if he was
Muslim, the police said.
A report by a news agency linked to the Islamic State claimed on Sunday
that a “soldier of the Islamic State” was behind the stabbing. The F.B.I. is
investigating the attack as a possible terrorist act.
But law enforcement officials were unsure whether Mr. Adan had made
contact with any terror organization, or had “self-radicalized,” heeding
the online calls to radical jihad that terrorist groups have used to goad
Westerners into mounting attacks at home. The St. Cloud police chief,
William Blair Anderson, stressed that the investigation had barely started,
adding, “I want to know everything about this individual since the day he
was born until last Saturday.”

Hauser from New York, Christina Capecchi from St. Paul, Mark Landler

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump get face time with foreign leaders
in New York....
As Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump vie to represent U.S. interests
around the world, they had a series of dry runs on Monday with foreign
leaders who were in town for the United Nations General Assembly.
Based on accounts from campaign officials and reporters who were able

PERSONAL HEALTH
8 'Facts' About Your Health That Turn Out Not to Be True
If you are feeling confused, you're not the only one.
By Elizabeth Preza / AlterNet September 16, 2016....
"In the August issue of Elle, longtime New York Times health and fitness
columnist Gretchen Reynolds wrote a kind of confessional about
all the misinformation she has inadvertently spread. As it turns out, even
someone like Reynolds, who covers health for a living, sometimes gets
the “contradictory health advice we constantly receive” wrong.
In light of this, we looked at some health advice in recent years which
actually turns out to do more harm than good. Here are eight myths
about your health that simply aren’t true.
2. Eating fat will make you fat.
The sugar industry’s manipulation of the scientific process drove the
“fat is bad” narrative that people still believe today. In 1977, the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans suggested consumers follow a “heart-healthy”
low-fat diet, leading food manufacturers to remove fat from their
products and replace it with—drum roll please—sugar. Those dietary
recommendations, unsurprisingly, correlate with an increase in obesity
among Americans.
The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans caught up with the
times a bit, recommending people “consume less than 10 percent
of calories from added sugars.” But it also suggests consuming “less
than 10 percent of calories per day from saturated fat.”
A 2014 meta analysis in the Annals of Internal Medicine concluded
there was little evidence to support a low-fat diet.
"There were definitely unintended, harmful consequences of the
low-fat craze," Harvard School of Public Health researcher Dariush
Mozaffarian told NPR. Mozaffarian added the best diet includes
minimally processed foods, including vegetables, meats and small
quantities of whole-fat animal products like yogurt and cheese
(skim milk products contain about twice the amount of sugar as their
full fat counterparts).

Did you all ever see an obese Congressmen/women? Rarely. They
don't want us to know their secret of keeping their bodies thin because

World leaders approve plan to address refugee crisis.
BY LARISA EPATKO September 19, 2016 at 3:33 PM EDT
"NEW YORK CITY – World leaders approved an agreement on Monday
aimed at providing a more coordinated response to the growing refugee
crisis. The new game plan addresses the 65 million people who have
had to flee their homes in 2015.
“We are one team, and I’m asking you to do your utmost effort,” said U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at a refugee forum held on the sidelines
of the U.N. General Assembly. Ban, who was 6 years old when the Korean
War broke out, had to leave his home in South Korea. Now, when he visits
refugee camps around the world, he tells those living there: “I was one
of you.”
With no end in sight to current conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and South
Sudan, the mountainous refugee crisis is going to get even worse, said
Filippo Grandi, the top U.N. refugee official. The world’s mass migration
is also caused by those seeking better economic opportunities.
“For decades, we treated refugee crises as a humanitarian crisis,” but
those stop-gap measures are no longer sufficient, said Grandi, a day
before the signing. The current crisis needs a longer-term fix, he said.
He and others view the U.N. declaration as a first step.
One refugee’s story...."

"Billionaire investor George Soros said in an opinion piece in the Wall
Street Journal that he would invest $500 million to meet the needs of
migrants and refugees.
The investment comes in response to the Obama administration's "Call
to Action" initiative, asking U.S. companies to help ease the migrant crisis.
(on.wsj.com/2cE0JnK)
Soros, founder of the Open Society Foundations, also said he plans to
work closely with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees and the International Rescue Committee to guide his
investments.
This comes a day after the ceasefire between the U.S. and Russia in Syria
ended, after a Syrian or Russian aircraft attacked an aid convoy near
Aleppo.
Open Society Foundations was not immediately available for comment.

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST CARICOFE
I watered the flowers last evening instead of waiting for the natural rain
from the Heavens, so I will not have to water them this morning.
I purchased two 50 foot hoses and I now have a good plan for watering.
I've planted lots of grass seed to the point that I feel like Johnny Grass Seed,
but I still have 3-4 bags of grass seed of different varieties left and I will
throw those seeds down by hand where the lawn needs it most.
