Breaking news: Feds move to seize N.Y. skyscraper, 4 mosques

Prosecutors say building owners helping to illegally funnel money to Iran MSNBC hat tip pon

NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

Seizing the properties would be a sharp blow against Iran, which has been accused by the U.S. government of bankrolling terrorism and seeking a nuclear bomb.

Society, suggests McGaugh, decided decades ago that the benefits of certain drugs outweighed any memory-altering side effects.

Valium is a memory-impairing drug, but I don't hear people raising memory issues about it."

More to the point, the influence of propranolol seems to be limited to new, emotional memories – and only if taken during or shortly after a traumatic event.

Larry Squire, a neurobiologist at UCSD

no one can imagine possibly tinkering with memory that represents our personal identities, memories of childhood, our connections to people and the past. Those are transformed over time. They're hard-wired in our brains and can't be fooled with."

But some researchers aren't so sure. In animal studies, neuroscientists like Joseph Ledoux at New York University say they have found evidence that there is a window of opportunity to alter a memory each time it is recalled.

clipper's remarks: "I took all my money out of my pocket. I took off my coat and threw it out the window. I jumped out the window and the police officer brought me to the cafeteria."

When asked if he was afraid Zach said: "I was more nervous than afraid."

Zach told Rosanna Scotto that he knew about the hand signals from the military. Zach's father is a Marine and his two older brothers are in the Army and currently serving in Iraq.

Zach wants to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Marine.

Man Charged in New York School Hostage…

MYFOXNY.COM - Stissing Middle School in Pine Plains, New York has a hero among its student body.

Zach Pruner, 12, was hiding in a room next to an armed gunman who held the school's principal hostage on Tuesday.

Zach passed along vital information to police outside using hand signals and notes. The gunman was captured thanks to help from Zach.

Good Day NY's Rosanna Scotto spoke with the boy on Wednesday. He explained in detail what he did to help police.

"I crawled under a desk... looked through a gap to see what was in the lobby but no one was there. I heard a SWAT armored vehicle come up to the building... I got their attention by waving my arms. I used hand signals.. I did '1' then the gun sign; then '4' and the hostage sign."

When that didn't seem to work Zach grabbed a marker and a note pad and wrote the same information. Police wrote a note telling him to jump out the window.

Mouse grounds second flight

A mouse is believed to be responsible for two transatlantic flights being cancelled in less than a month.

Pest control experts are to overhaul the Delta Air Lines Boeing 767 after the most recent incident, reports the Daily Telegraph.

A flight from New York to Heathrow was delayed after the mouse was spotted in the cabin and passengers were transferred to another plane.

The 147 passengers on the Boeing 767 were told that the mouse's presence meant that the plane had to be evacuated.

They continued on to London in another jet after airport officials told them that a mouse could create a safety hazard by crewing through electrical wire and hydraulic lines.

Delta confirmed that the rodent alert occurred on the same plane that was evacuated less than three weeks ago after a mouse was spotted just before it took off on the same New York to London journey.

The airline said it was "working with pest control experts in case remedial action is needed".

The New York Post is facing allegations of racism and sexism in a lawsuit brought by a disgruntled former employee

Sandra Guzman was sacked by the newspaper at the end of September and believes she was targeted because she had spoken out about discrimination at the paper, and because she is black and female

In documents filed in the District Court in New York, Ms Guzman says there is a culture of discrimination at The Post that goes all the way to the top

Ms Guzman relates a series of alleged incidents involving executives from the newspaper making sexist, offensive and racist remarks

"Virtually all the executives, managing directors and news reporters are white males who wield enormous power and influence at the company,"

The paper's editor, Australian Col Allan, earned the nickname Col Pot for his take-no-prisoners approach to editing Sydney's Daily Telegraph.

'Racist' cartoons

One of the officers says to the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill".
