Officials said the outages extended across Southern California and into Arizona and Baja California.

Investigators Assess Threat of Bombing Tied to 9/11 09 Sep 2011 Counterterrorism officials on Thursday were assessing a new report of a threat of an attack in New York City or Washington using a car or truck bomb, timed to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to several officials briefed on the matter. In a statement, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, Matt Chandler, called the threat "specific, credible, but unconfirmed." Another official said American intelligence agencies were urgently pursuing leads overseas in an effort to gauge the seriousness of the threat.

More air marshals to be flying on Sept. 11 08 Sep 2011 Additional federal air marshals will be flying on U.S. airplanes Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters Thursday. Intelligence officials do not have information about a specific plot, said Napolitano, but have collected "lots of chatter" about attacks timed to coincide with the date... As a precaution, different parts of the department are "staffing up" in the coming days and will be on heightened alert over the weekend, said Napolitano.

Blackout shuts down San Onofre nuclear reactors 08 Sep 2011 The blackout affecting large swaths of San Diego County led to a shutdown of two reactors at the San Onofre nuclear power plant. Gil Alexander, a spokesman for Southern California Edison, said the power outage did not cause any safety issues. Alexander said a fluctuation in power caused the reactors to shut down at 3:38 p.m. but that the overall plant continues to have power.

Power out for millions in Calif., Ariz., Mexico 08 Sep 2011 A power outage is affecting millions of people across southern California, Arizona and Mexico. San Diego Gas & Electric Co. Darcel Hulce said that crews Thursday believe the outage was caused by a system breakdown [?!?] and assured people it was not the result of a terror attack. All outgoing flights from San Diego's Lindbergh Field have been halted and police stations are using generators to accept emergency calls.

NRC: Earthquake shook ground harder than Va. nuclear plant designed to withstand 08 Sep 2011 The Aug. 23 central Virginia earthquake shook the North Anna nuclear power plant harder than it was designed to withstand, officials from Dominion Virginia Power told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Thursday. The plant is located on the shores of Lake Anna, 12 miles north of the epicenter of the 5.8-magnitude earthquake, the largest in Virginia in more than a century. The dual-reactor at the North Anna facility experienced "strong" ground motion in the north-south direction for about three seconds during the August quake, said Eric Hendrixson, director of nuclear engineering for Dominion. [BTW, the PentaPost already changed its headline to more 'Dominion-friendly' titling. CLG, not beholden to corpora-terrorists as is The Washington Post, is using the unfriendly version. ]

AP: Kuwait may host US Iraq backup force 08 Sep 2011 The Obama regime is considering staging American troops in Kuwait next year as a backup or rotational training force for Iraq, after the Pentagon completes the scheduled withdrawal of its current 45,000-strong force from Iraq in December, U.S. officials said... Another option under Pentagon consideration is positioning a small U.S. combat force in Kuwait that could rush into Iraq in the event of a security problem or to target an insurgent threat, two officials said. Another possibility is to retain in Kuwait some of the U.S. ground combat equipment that is being pulled out of Iraq, instead of shipping it back to the U.S. ['Rush into Iraq in the event of a security problem?' The US *is* the 'security problem!' --LRP]

Obama's 'jobs plan' includes tax breaks for businesses 08 Sep 2011 President Barack Obama outlined a $447 billion 'jobs plan' Thursday night that would reduce payroll taxes for workers and small businesses. The plan also would eliminate payroll taxes for businesses that hire additional employees or increase wages for current workers. The president also wants to give a $4,000 tax credit to businesses that hire workers who have been unemployed for six months or more. The plan, delivered to a joint session of Congress, also calls for extending into 2012 a current tax break that allows small businesses to immediately write off 100 percent of their investments in new equipment.

Obusha is about to speak. Should I watch 'Criminal Minds' or 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent?' By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org 08 Sep 2011 Oops! I just realized that if I choose Obama, I'd be watching 'Criminal Minds' either way! Seriously: Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama *all* desire to destroy Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. The only difference is, Rick Perry is honest about his intentions. Perry and Romney didn't establish a Super Dictatorship (aka Cat Food Commission II) to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid -- Barack Obama did. If he wanted to avoid the Tea Party-imposed 'debt ceiling crisis,' he would have invoked the 14th Amendment and called it a day. Barack Obama is begging Congress: 'Please, please, please accept your Republican proposals! Please pass more corporate tax breaks and more cuts to Medicare and Medicaid so I can be accepted and liked!' Primary Obusha in 2012!
