Imparare a gestire l’equilibrio di macchine non è cosi scontato nemmeno per un essere umano. Tutti sono “volati” almeno un centinaio di volte dalla bicicletta da piccoli. Con Surfs, Skates e Snowboards stessa identica cosa, ci vuole tanto allenamento e un ottimo equilibrio. A quanto pare qualcuno nel mondo animale ci ha raggiunti, i video [...]
Pat Tillman left his professional football career and a multimillion-dollar contract with the Arizona Cardinals to
enlist in the United States Army following the September 11 attacks. He was the armed forces' most famous soldier. On April 22, 2004...
The mother of former professional football player, Pat Tillman, continues her fight to finaly uncover the true story as to how her son died in combat in Afghanistan. The original Army story in 2004 claimed Tillman died as a result of an enemy ambush. That was a lie and the military knew it was untrue [...]

My friend Sheryl gathered a small group of us for a few drinks in honor of Wymen's birthday. She chose this chill place in Chelsea called Tillman's Tillman's, styled after an old school Harlem speakeasy. They play a good selection of music and start to remove some seating as the back gets crowded later in the night. The service is there to please and the oddly mixed crowd (60% black, 25% white, 10% Asian, 5% other) is well dressed. Lon and I had eaten dinner already but were sad we did. The menu, with a Grilled Cheese Theme in several gourmet variations, sounded so good, now we'll have to go back!
This week, we ask if you think the death of Pat Tillman, killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan, was covered up by the U.S. Army. But first, last week’s results:
Last week we asked if you thought CNN’s YouTube debates lived up to their hype. Not surprisingly, 67% of voters thought that the YouTube debates were a great idea, but their execution by CNN was poor. Only 24% of voters were willing to write the debates off completely. More surprisingly, only 10% of voters thought these debates were a complete success. Clearly, CNN has some work to do.
This week, with new revelations coming to the forefront concerning the friendly fire death of Pat Tillman, do you think the Army deliberately covered up the circumstances surrounding his death? Voting commences in the sidebar at right.

More than three years after Pat Tillman, the iconic football-player turned soldier, died on April 22, 2004 a headline asks Was Pat Tillman Murdered?
We’re not talking friendly-fire here and the notion of his heroic death has long since been dispatched. We’re talking deliberate murder: three shots from an M-16 to Tillman’s forehead from 10 yards away.
The medical examiners’ suspicions of deliberate murder were contained in a 2,300 pages testimony released to the AP this week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.
Among other information contained in the documents:
• In his last words moments before he was killed, Tillman snapped at a panicky comrade under fire to shut up and stop “sniveling.”
• Army attorneys sent each other congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in administrative, or non-criminal, pu
By MARTHA MENDOZA, AP National Writer Thu Jul 26, 7:59 PM ET SAN FRANCISCO - Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. "The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators. The doctors — whose names were blacked out — said that the bullet holes were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down
By Martha Mendoza, AP National Writer SAN FRANCISCO — As bullets flew above their heads, the young soldier at Pat Tillman’s side started praying. “I thought I was praying to myself, but I guess he heard me,” Sgt. Bryan O’Neal recalled in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press. “He said something like, ‘Hey, O’Neal, why are you praying? God can’t help us now.”‘ Tillman’s intent, O’Neal said, was to “more or less put my mind straight about what was going on at the moment.” “He said, more…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Army Secretary Peter Geren is expected to recommend that a retired three-star general be demoted for his role in providing misleading information about the death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman, military officials say, in what would be a stinging and rare rebuke. Lt. Gen. Philip Kensinger, who headed Army special operations, is one of six high-ranking Army officers expected to get official reprimands for making critical errors in reporting the circumstances of Tillman’s more…
According to the Associated Press via AZCentral.com, some in Congress are finally starting to inquire about the Army's investigation of the officer, Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich, who made offensive comments made about Pat Tillman's family. As a relatively high-profile case of anti-atheist bigotry, the Pat Tillman story has generated considerable interest across the atheist blogosphere.I suspect you remember what Kauzlarich said, but here is a refresher from the report:During an interview last year with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich argued that the Tillman family, which pressured the Pentagon for a thorough investigation after initially being misled about how he was killed, would not accept previous Army findings "because of the absence of Christian faith in their lives.""When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt," Kauzlarich said in the interview.It
Sean Na Na is the ongoing “indie-rock” branch of the Sean Tillman empire that also includes his Har Mar Superstar persona and the accompanying vodka endorsements.

General Tried to Warn Bush on Tillman Death By SCOTT LINDLAW AP SAN JOSE, Calif. (March 31) - For weeks after his death, the Pentagon maintained that Pat Tillman was killed in an enemy ambush, even after a top general tried to warn President Bush that the NFL star-turned-soldier likely died by friendly fire, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press. Friendly Fire Tragedy From the Blog: Cover-Up or Mistake? | Tillman's Family ReactsTalk About It: Post Thoughts In the memo sent to a superior officer seven days after Tillman's death, Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal warned that the evidence strongly pointed to friendly fire and the nation's leaders risked embarrassing themselves if they publicly said otherwise."I felt that it was essential that you received this information as soon as we detected it in order to preclude any unknowing statements by our country's leaders which might cause public embarrassment if the circumstances of Cpl.
