FRESNO - A glacier-encased body believed to be a World War II airman who crashed into the Sierra Nevada in 1942 was flown off the mountain and into a Fresno laboratory for identification, the county's deputy coroner said Thursday.

Blustery conditions kept rangers at Kings Canyon National Park from reaching the frozen remains for two days after two ice climbers reported last weekend they had seen a man's head, shoulder and arm protruding from the thick ice. About 80 percent of the body was buried in the glacier on the side of the 13,710-foot Mount Mendel. The remote wilderness area can only be reached by hiking two or three days, or by helicopter when the weather allows, rangers said.

The Scandalous History of the Red Cross

In recent years, the image of the Red Cross has been tarnished. The worst scandal came after the September 11 attacks, when it was revealed that a large portion of the hundreds of millions of dollars donated to the organization went not to survivors or family members of those killed, but to other Red Cross operations, in what was described by chapters across the country as a "bait-and-switch" operation.

Trigger-lock measure assailed as 'gun tax'

The underlying bill â€" H.R. 800, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act â€" would help protect the firearms industry from frivolous lawsuits brought by cities, municipalities and radical anti-gun interest groups, said Gun Owners of America, or GOA.

Like much news that's damaging to the Bush administration, the report came out on a Friday.

Since then, it's gotten little media attention -- just 41 mentions in U.S. newspapers and wire stories, according to a news database search on October 11. That's remarkably sparse coverage for a story showing that the U.S. government has been engaged in illegal propaganda aimed at its own citizens.

October 7, 2005

ALLEGHANY, CA -- The fourth annual "Old Alleghany Day" was held on September 10th, 2005, complete with old west style gun fights and street vendors peddling their wares.

No trip to Alleghany is complete without a trip to the Underground Gold Miners Museum. The museum is a facinating place, with a mixture of gold and grit on display. The pictures tell the story of a hard life, lived at least partially underground by rugged men and women who worked hard, played hard and settled in this majestic place. Occasionally on special days such as this, "The Whopper" is put on display, as it was on this day.
