I talked with a Hong Kong protester today who goes by the name of Fish Cheng.

At the barricades

After my story on Monday about how legendary Brooklyn pizzeria Totonno's is trying to rebuild and come back after super-storm Sandy, a lot of people said how charmed they were by the grand-daughter of the late Anthony "Totonno" Pero, Antoinette Balzano.  So here is an extended mix of the time I spent with Balzano, going around Coney Island, starting in front of Totonno's, going to the boardwalk, and returning back to the restaurant. We began by speaking about her grandfather.

This is part of a panel discussion on embedded journalism in Iraq and Afghanistan</a>] "(During the 2003 lead up to the Iraq invasion) we were going to bring all of the journalists that were going to go with us, and read them into the entire plan, weeks prior to the invasion.  And the reason this is done is, number one, they're going to be right beside us and deserve to know; and two, it was an extension of trust that says "We are going to let you in, and let you see everything that we're getting ready to do.  And we trust that you're not going to compromise the mission." - US Army Col. Richard "Ross" Coffman

Fresh video from very well rising jamaican singer Sophia Squire is called "Some Day". It´s so good and conciouss song that I had to wrote her directly if we could share this one here with you.

People in Germany are pretty upset by the N-S-A's data surveillance program.

But it's happened before.

The NSA kept a listening post there during the Cold War.

CLIP: We would transcribe artillery fire missions...

This man monitored East German radio traffic fifty years ago.

CLIP: We didn't care what they were saying.  What we cared about was who was saying it, and where were they saying it from.
