This sequel, which is actually a prequel to the classic Shoujo/Josei manga, Mars, is comprised of three stories; the first of which cites a freshman Rei and his subsequent meeting with Kira along with other familiar faces. The following two are short, individual stories which are not connected to the Mars storyline.
Story 1 - The title of Mars Gaiden, Horse With no Name not only comes from an old American song, but is the title of the first story of the book, and the only one that holds a connection with Mars.
Story 2 - My personal favorite, story two was a pleasing, and well written
story of a friendship between two very different people but with a tragic, and unexpected twist.
Story 3 - The most shallow and predictable of the lot, focuses on two lonely teens amid family troubles.
★ Story (7) - Each of the three stories has no relation to the other, though the first is a prelude to the classic Mars manga.
The first story is a peek at Rei's life before meeting Kira, though his friend Tatsuya actually plays a bigger role.
The second story focuses on the relationship between a delinquent and a cheerful girl - with a really big twist. My favorite story of the three!
The final and weakest of the trio, focuses on a lonely teen girl with a troubled family life who befriends an equally lonely teen boy with a background linked to her own.
★ Art (10) - As always, Fuyumi Souryou's artwork is gorgeous; with long neat lines and beautifully expressive eyes. A real delight to view.
★ Character (7) - Though the deep, intricate personalities of Mars are not present at in this story, the characters are somewhat interesting -some more than others- though most are toned down and rather shallow.
★ Enjoyment (7) - While no where near the masterpiece that is Mars, Horse With no Name is still an enjoyable, if forgettable story. Though the first story is the main point of this anthology, the second story is the most touching and well written.
★ Overall (7) - Far from being great, Horse With no Name is still a good read, though fans of the original series will enjoy the story far more. To others, it remains just another manga to pass time by.

Jane Fonda in her iconic role as Barbarella from the 1968 campy cult classic “Barbarella” was a powerful source of inspiration for me to paint. Filled with sexual prowess and a ton of hairspray, it’s her confident gaze that threatens more than her laser gun. For this painting, two stencils of her silhouette were created out of masking tape, then used to spray paint over and create a negative image from the background.

This pizza was inspired by David Rocca, whom I happened to catch on the Cooking Channel one afternoon. He did a whole episode of pizzas and I was curious to see the way he did them. There was no confusion on this particular pizza as to whether it is a dessert pizza. . .it most definitely is! I started this pizza with a basic pizza dough that I had made in the breadmaker and then prebaked for 7 minutes. While the crust was prebaking I put some pine nuts in the oven with it so they could be toasting. Watch them carefully! They burn extremely fast, which I unfortunately learned while ruining my first batch!
Over the crust I arranged green grapes that had been sliced in half. I then scattered on the toasted pine nuts. Over these I sprinkled some cinnamon sugar and drizzled a small amount of honey. I baked it for an additional 8 minutes. Mike and I thought it was very good, but slightly bland. The next day at lunch we drizzled some of the leftover pizza (leftovers? That was a clue that this pizza was lacking) with a powdered sugar glaze similar to what you would find on cinnamon rolls. That was much more to our liking.
We watched the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics while enjoying this treat. We thought the Queen being escorted in by James Bond was very clever, and Mr. Bean was pretty funny, but the smokestacks and the tribute to the industrial revolution left us a little flat. The fireworks at the end and the lighting of the torch were absolutely spectacular. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics!

UNDERSTANDING & ENGINEERING HUMAN T CELL IMMUNITY
Our goal is to understand and engineer human T cell immunity to treat infectious diseases and cancer.
T cells recognize parts of infected cells or tumor cells. To do so, they are equipped with receptors. Every human being has about 100 million different T cell receptors! T cells are like a population inhabiting the human organism and their receptor is their unique finger print. They usually protect you, sometimes they can cause problems and they continuously change.
We aim to understand how T cell populations evolve based on their T cell receptor – and then to use this knowledge therapeutically. For this, we re-program T cells by replacing their T cell receptor through means of genetic engineering.
More Details: www.schoberlab.de
The adaptive immune system protects from infectious diseases and cancer, but can also cause autoimmunity. Vaccinations – today as important as ever – induce immunological memory to protect from infections. The adoptive transfer of T cells represents an exciting new field of medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. Novel tolerogenic therapies for autoimmune diseases are being developed based on new insights in T cell targets relevant for disease pathogenesis.
The Schober lab aims at understanding and engineering human T cell immunity in order to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies against infections diseases, cancer and autoimmunity. To this end, we investigate the composition and evolution of human antigen-specific T cell responses over space and time. Routine vaccinations and patients receiving T cell therapies thereby serve for us as “experiments in nature”, which inform us on the biology of human T cell responses in a defined and systematic context. To investigate these responses, we use state-of-the-art T cell receptor (TCR) sequence analyses, single-cell metabolic profiling, flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics as well as bioinformatic analyses in collaboration with machine-learning experts. Having identified disease-relevant TCRs, we employ advanced genetic engineering tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 to engineer T cells in a highly precise fashion. In analogy to the field of bionics, physiological T cells for us represent a blueprint for functional and safe engineered therapeutic T cell products. Finally, we build on recent developments in the field of genome-wide T cell epitope discovery to elucidate novel targets of pathogens, cancer and autoimmunity.

||Publication date of the first discoveries of X-ray emission from
`normal' hot (OB spectral-type) stars, by the Einstein Observatory
Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) and High Resolution Imager (HRI);
the stars were members of the Cygnus OB2 Association and the Eta Carinae
Region: see Harnden et al., ApJ, 234, L51, 1979 and Seward et al. ApJ, 234,
L55, 1979, respectively, for more details.
Luminous OB star are now recognized to have (at least) two different types of
X-ray emission mechanisms: the more intense and hard X-ray emitters appear
to be all in binary systems where the winds of the two components are
colliding and producing shocked hot plasma, while the less bright soft X-ray
emitters are single stars in which self-shocking of the material outflowing
in their high-velocity winds generates the warm X-ray emitting plasma.
|20 Sep 1979
||Launch of the Third High Energy
Astrophysics Observatory (HEAO-3). This satellite conducted a
hard X-ray/gamma-ray survey of the sky with a high-resolution spectrometer
and also carried instrumentation to observe cosmic rays.
|11 Jul 1979
Skylab, the U.S.A.'s first space station, re-entered the
atmosphere, dispersing debris over an area stretching from the south-east
Indian Ocean to western Australia.

2 makes its closest approach (720,000 km or 10.11 Jupiter radii)
to the planet Jupiter before proceeding on to its next Grand Tour
rendezvous (with Saturn).

||Launch of Ariel
VI. This UK satellite carried 2 X-ray experiments as well as a
cosmic ray experiment. Unfortunately, its mission was subsequently
compromised by interference from ground-based radar which hampered pointing
operations, although it did make some useful science observations.
||First detection of X-ray emission from another planet in the Solar
System, namely Jupiter, by the Einstein Observatory:
see Metzger et al., JGR, 88, 7731, 1983 for further details. The emission was
hypothesized to be from energetic ions from abundant elements such as S and O
precipating out of the Io Plasma Torus into the strong Jovian magnetosphere.
In November 1999, Chandra observations of the Jupiter system detected
additional X-ray sources associated with some of the large moons (Io, Europa,
and possibly Ganymede) as well as with the Io Plasma Torus itself
(Elsner et al., ApJ, 572, 1077, 2002).
|9 Apr 1979
||The Third Small Astronomical
Satellite (SAS 3) ceases operation.

||Detection by 9 satellites carrying gamma-ray burst detectors of an
intense (peak flux of about 1.5 x 10-3
erg s-1 cm-2 in the 30 keV to 2 MeV band) and very
rapid (burst duration FWHM of 0.12 seconds) gamma-ray `spike' from
the direction of the supernova remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This
spike was followed by a slowly declining flux which was modulated by 8-second
pulsations for several minutes
afterwards. This object, now called SGR 0526-66, is
one of several known so-called Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs). SGRs
are believed by many (but not all) astronomers to be young neutron stars
with ultrastrong magnetic fields, otherwise known as magnetars. In the
4 years following this initial strong gamma-ray transient, 16 more (much
weaker) outbursts were seen from this source, but it has not been detected
since 1983. See Cline et al. (ApJ, 237, L1, 1980) for the initial
discovery paper on SGR 0526-66.

||Confirmation by the HEAO-1
A2 experiment that the peculiar emission-line
object SS 433 is a strong and variable X-ray source reported by
Marshall et al., IAU Circ. 3314, 1978: see also Marshall et al., ApJ, 230,
L145, 1979. Previous low spatial-resolution
observations by Ariel-V (Seward et al., MNRAS,
175, 39P, 1976) had discovered a variable X-ray source in this general
direction and, since SS 433 is near the center of the SNR W 50, the
authors speculated that it might be the stellar remnant of W 50, although
the optical counterpart of the X-ray source was not known.
SS 433 had been
discovered earlier in 1978 to be a strong, variable radio source, and
had been suggested as a possible X-ray emitter (Seaquist et al., IAU Circ.
3256, 1978). SS 433 went on to become one of the most well-studied objects
in the Galaxy: it is now generally believed to be an X-ray binary system
containing either a black hole or neutron star accreting from its
companion, and, at the same time, expelling material in two, high-speed
(0.26 times the speed of light) oppositely directed jets which precess with
a 164-day period. The variable Doppler shift of material in these jets was
later detected in the X-ray band, with first honors to EXOSAT (Watson et
al., MNRAS, 222, 261, 1986). It is also now commonly
believed that the compact object in SS 433 is the stellar remnant of
the supernova that created W 50.

||Launch of the Third
International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE-3). ISEE-3 was one
of a three part series of satellites to monitor solar wind and
interactions with the Earth and Sun. ISEE-3 was placed at the
Sun-Earth L5 point, roughly an hour upstream in the solar wind.
Among other instruments, ISEE-3 carries gamma-ray burst detectors.
|20 May 1978

Venus Orbiter (PVO), carrying (among many other instruments) a
gamma-ray burst detector. PVO completed the gamma-ray burst
(IPN) created by Helios-2 by supplying a 3rd mutually distant
|26 Jan 1978
||Launch of the NASA/ESA/UK SERC mission
Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE); this observatory performed
spectrophotometry of celestial objects with both high (0.1 - 0.3 Angstroms)
and low (6 - 7 Angstroms) spectral resolution at wavelengths between 1150
and 3200 Angstroms. IUE continued operating for two decades and became
the most successful ultraviolet observatory ever, revolutionizing our
understanding of the UV spectra of stars, galaxies, AGN, etc.
|5 Sep 1977
||Launch of NASA's Voyager 1
mission to Jupiter and Saturn on a Titan-Centaur rocket. Voyager 1
is still as of 2004 operational and became the most distant human-made
object in the universe in February 1998 when it passed Pioneer 10:
as of July 2004 it had reached a distance of 92 AU (13.8 billion km)
from the Sun and was believed to be in the vicinity of the solar wind
|20 Aug 1977
||Launch of NASA's Voyager 2
mission to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune on a Titan-Centaur rocket.
This mission is still operational and moving out of the solar system

||Launch of the paired satellites
Solrad 11 A & B.
Gamma-ray burst detectors were added to the Solrad 11 mission shortly
before launch after the realization of gamma-ray bursts seen by the
Vela series satellites.
||"First (interference) fringes" (the radio telescope equivalent of
"First Light" for an optical telescope) at the Very Large Array
(VLA) radio interferometer. The VLA is operated by the US National Radio Astronomy Observatory and is
situated on the plains of San Augustin near Datil, New Mexico.
|15 Jan 1976
||Launch of Helios
2 on a mission to explore the Sun and the solar wind environment
in the near-solar (within the orbit of Mercury) region. Helios-2 was the
first spacecraft to be launched with a detector designed specifically for
gamma-ray bursts. Its launch initiated the first gamma-ray burst
with Ariel-5 and the Vela spacecraft already in orbit. The launches of
Pioneer-Venus Orbiter (PVO) and of Veneras-11 and
Veneras-12 in 1978 finally completed the fully
interplanetary array with 3 or more mutually distant vertices.
|Late Oct 1975
||First X-ray detection of Beta Persei or Algol, the prototype of
the 'semi-detached' class of mass-transfer binary systems in which one
star fills (and overflows) its Roche Lobe, after two
previous unsuccessful attempts, by the Rotational Modulation Collimator
instrument onboard the Third Small
Astronomical Satellite (SAS 3). See Schnopper et al. 1976, ApJ,
210, L75 for more details. The X-ray emission from systems like Algol
is now thought to be a result of the rapid and synchronized rotation
of the Roche Lobe-filling component and not to be directly related to
the mass transfer process.
|14 Aug 1975
||Peak of the X-ray outburst of A 0620-00 (also known as Nova Mon
1975), arguably the brightest non-solar X-ray source yet detected
in terms of its observed flux, which exceeded the flux of Sco X-1, the
brightest persistent X-ray source in the sky, by a factor of 3. This outburst
was detected by the Sky Survey Experiment on the Ariel-V satellite.
The inferred peak X-ray luminosity of this black hole binary system was
1038 erg s-1, 20 million times brighter than its
quiescent level. See Elvis et al. 1975, Nature, 257, 656 et seq. for the
discovery papers, and Chen et al. 1997, ApJ, 491, 312 for a review of the
class of Soft X-ray Transients or X-Ray Novae to which A 0620-00 belongs.
|9 Aug 1975
||Launch of the European COS-B
|21 & 22 Jul 1975
||First detections of any extra-solar system objects in the extreme
ultraviolet (EUV) region (wavelengths from 100 to 1000 Angstroms
or photon energies from 0.012 to 0.12 keV), namely the hot white dwarf
stars Feige 24 and HZ 43, by the
Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) Extreme-Ultraviolet (EUV)
Telescope. The column density and hence optical depth of the
interstellar medium had been generally expected to be so high that
few, if any, objects would be detectable in the EUV range, but the
detections of HZ 43, a previously known soft X-ray source, and Feige 24
showed this to be incorrect. The EUV and soft X-ray emission from hot
white dwarfs is `photospheric' in origin, i.e., the lack of significant
opacity due to metals and Helium means that the EUV optical depth unity
surface or photosphere is much deeper in the star than the visible light
photosphere is. See Lampton et al. (ApJ, 203, L71, 1976) and
Margon et al. (ApJ, 210, L79,1976) for more details.
|15 Jul 1975

Uncertainty over budgets in Catalonia, Barcelona, and Spain as independence trial looms
Cracks in political alliance that made Sánchez president could unleash major domino effect
The political alliance that allowed Pedro Sánchez to become Spain’s president is trembling—and with it any prospects of governments in Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain passing their general budgets for 2019.
Last Spring, Catalan parties set their differences with the Socialists and left-wing Podemos aside and backed Sánchez in a no-confidence vote in the Spanish Congress against their common foe: the conservative Mariano Rajoy.
With the trial against Catalan independence leaders due to start next week, the cracks in their unlikely alliance are showing again.
Pro-independence ERC party has threatened with rejecting Sánchez’s spending plan, to be discussed in Congress next week—the most crucial parliamentary vote since the Socialist leader came to power.
"The freedom of jailed leaders and self-determination can’t be exchanged for some extra funding in Spain’s general budget," said ERC spokesperson Marta Vilalta on Monday. "The budget talks and the situation in Catalonia can’t be separated."
Without ERC’s votes, the chances of Sánchez’s government passing the general budget are virtually 0.
"We need governments that are effective, which think globally about how to achieve, how to work together, how to cooperate, so as to be able to go ahead with a budget that will be useful for people"
Janet Sanz · Barcelona deputy mayor
For months, the central government unsuccessfully tried to secure the votes from Catalonia’s ruling parties, ERC and Junts per Catalunya (JxCat), which in turn demanded “gestures” towards their self-determination aspirations and their leaders incarcerated for calling an independence referendum in 2017.
Yet, such gestures could come at a cost for Sánchez and the Socialists, as right-wing opposition parties have repeatedly accused him of conceding to "those that want to break Spain."
In a last-minute effort to reach a deal, Sánchez's executive accepted a proposal by the Catalan government to designate an impartial third party to participate in the meetings between both cabinets.
While the Spanish vice president Carmen Calvo says such party will be charged with "taking notes, calling meetings and coordinate the different parts," Catalan parties prefer an international mediator that helps both governments solve the independence crisis.
The Socialists are still hopeful that ERC will change its mind, as Sánchez believes himself to have an ace up the sleeve: calling a snap election.
Following the rise of far-right Vox party in the regional election of Andalusia, some polls predict that right-wing parties could have a majority of seats in the Spanish Congress that allowed them to form a government—one that would certainly be more belligerent with the independence movement than the Socialists.
Suspension of MPs changed political chess board
If Catalan parties reject the Spanish budget in Madrid, the possibility of them passing the spending plan in the Catalan parliament will be highly unlikely.
Despite winning a majority of seats in the last election, the suspension of four MPs accused in the independence trial left pro-independence parties relying on Catalunya en Comú-Podeem (CatECP), the Catalan allies of Podemos.
Last week, CatECP broke off budget negotiations with the Catalan government and called on the executive to provide a "credible" proposal for social spending and how the executive plans to have sufficient revenue to fund it.
Barcelona: mayoral race turns ugly
Ada Colau, the mayor of Barcelona and the leader of CatECP, was hoping for a domino effect that allowed her to approve her spending plan in the city council with the support of the Socialists and ERC. As of today, such chain of events seems unlikely.
"We need governments that are effective, which think globally about how to achieve, how to work together, how to cooperate, so as to be able to go ahead with a budget that will be useful for people," said Janet Sanz, Barcelona deputy mayor, on Tuesday.
With a local election expected for May, the mayoral race will not be easy for Colau if she fails to pass the budget.

I've been born and raised in the city of El Paso, where I graduated from Franklin High School in 2015 and am set to graduate from UTEP in 2019. After graduating high school, I embarked upon a sports journalism route in college at UTEP's student publication, The Prospector, where I served as Sports Editor, Editor-in-Chief and Web Editor for a span of four years. For the last four years, I have been covering UTEP, the Chihuahuas, prep sports and just about everything in the Sun City. Before entering my junior year in college, I took my LSAT and was set for law school upon graduation.

A team of researchers led by Michel Cayouette, PhD, made an important discovery that could better explain some inherited forms of hearing loss in humans. Dr Michel Cayouette, a professor Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM) and the University of Montreal, and colleagues have identified a group of proteins crucial for shaping the cellular organ responsible for detecting sounds. The research has been published online (October 14, 2013) by the scientific journal Developmental Cell.
Aerial surface view of two neighbouring hair cells in the inner ear. On the surface of these developing mouse cells, large stereocilia can be noticed forming a V-shaped brush pointing upwards. The visualization technique used to capture this image is scanning electron microscopy, which allows researchers to see the morphology of the cell surface at high resolution. ©IRCM.

Hair cells in the inner ear transform sound into electrical impulses before they can be relayed to the brain. On the surface of these cells, microscopic hair-like protrusions known as stereocilia act as specialized sensors to detect vibrations.
“During embryonic development, these stereocilia develop into a characteristic V-shaped brush,” says Dr Cayouette, director of the Cellular Neurobiology research unit at the IRCM. “In addition, all cells orient their brush with the V pointing in the same direction. This polarized organization is critical for sensory function, but remains poorly understood.”
“We studied a group of proteins known to control cell division in the organism and discovered a new role they play in the auditory system,” explains Dr Basile Tarchini, postdoctoral fellow in Dr Cayouette’s laboratory and first author of the study. “We showed that these proteins occupy a specific region at the cell surface to define the exact placement of stereocilia and enable the creation of the V-shaped brush.
“Furthermore, we discovered that one of the proteins is also required for coordinating the orientation of the brushes among neighbouring cells, thereby ensuring that the V formed by each brush points in the same direction,” adds Dr Tarchini. “Our results strongly suggest, for the first time, that this group of proteins could be the link between two important molecular mechanisms: the system responsible for the placement of stereocilia into a V-shaped brush at the cell surface, and the system that orients this V-shaped structure in the surrounding tissue.”
“Recent studies show that mutations in one of the proteins we studied are associated with inherited forms of hearing loss in humans,” concludes Dr Cayouette. “By defining a function for this class of proteins in hair cells, our work helps explain the mechanisms that could cause these conditions.”
The research project was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), as well as Dr Tarchini’s postdoctoral award from the Human Frontier Science Program. For more information, see article summary published online by Developmental Cell.

Does anyone know of a cool Photoshop tutorial for my needs? I’d even settle for buying a digital frame or matting through a service if anyone knows of any.
I have an 11x17” frame – I have 2 photos that I want to be able to fit into this frame in separate openings, but have the same backing/frame/matting. I can size the photos to any size I want. I want to find a tutorial (or as I mentioned a service who sells digital frames or matting) that shows me how to create realistic matting or frames. I was searching Google and didn’t really find anything interesting. All of my photos are old black & white photos. So, I would need a frame that matched well with B&W. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Russian Presidential Election Results
Protesters have gathered in Moscow today following Vladimir Putin’s win in the Russian presidential election. Several opposition candidates have denounced the results and labelled the election a farce. There have also been widespread allegations of fraud and vote rigging. This protest and the ones following december’s desputed parliamentary elections have been the largest in Russia since the end of the Soviet Union. Despite the outcry over the results, yesterday’s win by Vladimir Putin was never really in doubt. The real question is how much the continuing unrest diminishes his status and threatens to his ability to hold onto power.

President Xi Jinping stressed the need to maintain political stability in an unusual meeting of China’s top leaders -- a fresh sign the ruling party is growing concerned about the social implications of the slowing economy.
China isn’t set to come to the rescue of a weakening world economy even amid signs policy makers are successfully cushioning some of its slowdown.
U.S. stocks could deliver big gains in 2019 if history is any guide, and some companies have more potential to outperform than others, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Worries that the U.S. economy will tip into a recession are overblown for now and stocks can extend their recent rebound even as economic growth slows, according to Bob Doll at Nuveen Asset Management LLC.
Markets from equities to high-yield bonds that have been flashing warning signs are probably an overreaction to slowing growth rather than a precursor of imminent recession, according to J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
Stocks may be coming off their worst year since the financial crisis, but a majority of Wall Street professionals see gains ahead for 2019.
Despite the market’s stumble into the new year, Wharton’s Jeremy Siegel is predicting solid gains for stocks by the end of 2019.
A slowing economy and more cautious Federal Reserve next year could extend the longest bull run in history, Leuthold Group’s Jim Paulsen told CNBC on Thursday.


first published on December 23, 2017 by Will
The FBI thwarted a Christmas Day terror attack in San Fransisco by arresting a 26-year-old Muslim convert who wanted to inflict casualties at a busy seaside shopping district.
Everitt Aaron Jameson, who had been calling himself Abdallah Abu Everitt Ibn Gordon Al-Amriki, had been discussing his plans for the attack with an undercover Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) “employee.” The would-be terrorist had chosen San Fransisco’s waterfront Pier 39 shopping district as the target area, as he thought he could “funnel” several unsuspecting victims into a small area.
Jameson had just landed a job as a tow truck driver and told the informant that he could use the large and powerful vehicle as a means to inflict heavy casualties in the same manner as the Halloween attack in New York City in which a crazed Muslim plowed a truck through a busy bike lane and killed eight people.
Besides using the tow truck, Jameson had also contemplated using explosives and had even asked the informant to help him procure a fully automatic M-16 or AK-47 assault rifle. He also pledged his loyalty to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and wanted to give money to the Islamic State.
On December 18th, Jameson told the informant he was backing out of the attack, likely because an FBI employee accidentally called his phone from a Washington DC number. Then, on December 20th, the FBI raided his house. They found firearms, ammunition magazines, and fireworks, which in itself is not a big deal, but they also discovered a handwritten letter discussing his disgust with the US and the decision to relocate Israel’s capital to Jerusalem.
According to reports, Jameson served less than a year in the United States Marine Corps in 2009. The report goes on to state that he was discharged as a result of fraudulently enlisting with a known, preexisting Asthma diagnosis.
Investigators first took notice of Jameson based on his social media internet activity. On Facebook, he had a series of “likes” and “loves” in regards to a number of pro-ISIS and anti United States posts. Jameson had converted to Islam two years prior.
He was arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. His father, Gordon Jameson, claimed the FBI was mistaken about the alleged Christmas plot, and that “He’s a loving, kind person that would never hurt nobody.”
