Each photo, however, portrays these subjects beyond their traditional pretenses. The day-to-day lives of individuals living in these remote areas may seem foreign to city dwellers, yet are shown in a strikingly unromantic light. Foglia visited the Western states over seven years, and being from Long Island, approached the region very much as an outsider. You can see this distance in the photographs where people are shot from afar, almost turning them into part of the l stanley flask andscape themselves. When Foglia does move in to capture a portrait close up, you can almost see his subjects thinking  8 stanley quencher 220;who are you and what are you doing here.

 The American flag that was raised by three firefighters over the wreckage of the World Trade Center, one of the most enduring images of Sept. 11, has disappeared.After it was removed from the site during cleanup, the flag flew on U.S. ships serving in the war in Afghanistan. Then, in March, it was returned to New York City officials.But the flag that city officials preserved measures 5 feet by 8 feet. The flag the firefighters raised on Sept. 11 measured 4 feet by 6 feet, according to its original owners. It s just a really awkward and difficult situation,  said Lark-Marie Anton, a spokeswoman for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.  What it represents is really what s important. Bloomberg has asked city fire officials to investigate what happened to the flag. Officials say they are unaware of anyone claiming to possess the original.        The flag came from a yacht,  stanley cups the Star of America, which was in a Hudson River  stanley flask marina near the World Trade Center that day. Firefighter Dan McWilliams took it from the yacht and walked back to Ground Zero, where he and two colleagues, George Johnson and Bill Eisengrein, raised it on a slanted pole.The scene was captured by Thomas Franklin, a photographer with The Record of Bergen County  N.J. , and distributed worldwide by The Associated Press.The discrepancy abo stanley flask ut the flag size was discovered last month when the yacht owners, Shirley Dreifus and her husband, Spiros Kopelakis, borrowed the flag for an event on board the Star of America.The cou Repu Wash.

  CBS News  ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - How s this for a turnabout: a monkey that has humans scratching their heads. We go in search for this elusive primate ... on the road.He s just a little monkey no larger than a couch cushion. But here in St. Petersburg, Florida, this little Rhesus Macaque has made big news.For nearly three years now, the Tampa Bay TV stations have been following this monkey like a hurricane. Police have been trailing him too.No one is exactly sure where the monkey came from -- he could be a runaway pet or a descendant of some monkeys left in Florida after a Tarzan movie shoot. Regardless, authorities say he doesn t belong and needs to be caught. I will get him,  said animal trapper Vernon Yates, the monkey s arch enemy. He s already darted him several times, but the animal always gets away.          If I could get close enough to the monkey, I would just tack stanley website le him, he said.  Him and I would go to fighting on the ground. To Vernon, this has become personal. I realize he s made a monkey out of me,  he said.  In stanley cup  some ways I ll give him credit that he is. He knows not to get  stanley cup up into power lines. He ll run to a road, he stops and looks both ways for traffic before he runs across it. This is one of the most intelligent monkeys that I think I have ever seen. The monkey is also a master of public relations. Over the years, he s posed for many priceless photo ops on people s back porches, endearing him to the community and winning him snacks galore.            Even t Xswp This Is the World s Fastest Thin-Film Organic Transistor

  CBS News  All 230 passengers and crew were killed when TWA flight 800, a New York-to-Paris flight, crashed July 17, 1996, shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy Airport.It s been almost 17 years since that plane blew up and now, a documentary called  TWA Flight 800,  featuring former investigators, is raising questions about the official explanation: a fuel tank explosion.TWA Flight 800 gets another look 17 years laterThe documentary features interviews with those officials who p stanley cup oint to accounts and evidence that the plane may have been shot down. CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, the first reporter on the scene, has covered the disaster extensively. He said of the documentary,  I think they ve raised old concerns, but they packaged it in a way that s very compelling. ... This is one of those documentaries, if you watch the whole thing, you walk away convinced. But if you actually know the whole story, you know that they lined up some very compelling and concerning facts, but they also left out some of the alternative theories a stanley mug nd answers to that, so it s going get a lot of attention.         The missile theory, Miller added, does have a couple  Achilles heels.  He explained,  If it was a terrorist missile fired by some shoulder launch thing on a boat and you ve had a success stanley mug ful attack, you killed 230 people, you downed an airliner. If you don t claim responsibility, you ve basically wasted the effort, so why wasn t a credible claim made or discovered after all  Yktf Ulysses S. who  US history test stumps students
