Mr Bush has had his own security problems this week after an extraordinarily accident-prone journey across Asia and the Pacific. First, the tyres came off when the brakes on Air Force One malfunctioned as it landed in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
No one was hurt, but later, Gregg Pitts, the acting director of the White House Travel Office, was robbed and beaten in Waikiki, Hawaii, on Tuesday morning outside a nightclub. Then, as the President left Hawaii, three police motorcycle outriders in his convoy slipped and crashed, leaving two of them seriously injured.

Secret Service officers wounded in 'accidental' shooting
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two Secret Service agents were wounded Tuesday in what was called an "accidental discharge of a firearm" near the White House, said Secret Service spokeswoman Kim Bruce.
One uniformed Secret Service officer was shot in the leg, and a second suffered shrapnel wounds to the face, Bruce said. They were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The incident took place shortly after 2 p.m. at the southwest gate security post and is under investigation. --From CNN Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux (Posted 3:49 p.m.)

Story Highlights
• NEW: Case being investigated as "homicide with an unusual weapon"• Man was removing device from atop car when it exploded
• Explosion occurred in parking garage behind Luxor hotel-casino
• A second man was unhurt
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- A device left in a casino parking garage exploded early Monday, killing a man who tried to pick it up off the top of his car, authorities said.
The device exploded shortly after 4 a.m. (7 a.m. ET) on the second floor of a parking garage behind the Luxor hotel-casino, said Officer Bill Cassell, a police spokesman. He declined to describe the device, but said initial reports that it was inside a backpack were wrong.
The blast was not a terrorist act but an apparent murder of a man who worked at a business inside the hotel, he said, adding that the case was being investigated as "a homicide with an unusual weapon." (Watch as investigators respond to the scene of the explosion )
No threat had been made against the Luxor, Cassell said.
"We believe the victim of this event was the intended target," Cassell said. He said another person who was with the man narrowly escaped injury.
Gordon Absher, a spokesman for MGM Mirage Inc., which owns the Luxor, said the victim was not a company employee.
Aerial video showed no apparent damage to the parking structure, where entrances were blocked while police, firefighters and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents investigated.
There was little damage around the vehicle and the hotel was not evacuated, police and a hotel official said.
Immediately after the explosion, entrances were sealed and authorities went vehicle to vehicle with bomb-sniffing dogs.
Later, people were allowed to remove their vehicles after an inspection, Absher said.
The Luxor, a pyramid-shaped hotel at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, has more than 4,000 rooms and 6,000 employees.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

One thing
It doesn’t seem possible that one person could explain the universe. It’s just too big. However, if you will believe (just for a second) that the answers are simple then whatever you learn here applies everywhere else. Believe it or not and it will work whatever you believe; This is your world. Oh, This is my world, but only for me. For you, it’s always been yours, is yours and will always be yours. You are everything you see. You can’t be anything else. You’re in charge. Whatever you decide, however you choose to feel, whatever is your experience, This is you.
Whatever you do with what is written here, I offer this thought. “It’s all about you!” We joke around the table, it’s all about you or it’s all about me. The joke is true; its essence is our truth. The only thing I will ever know is me. The only place you will ever find truth is you. It can be difficult to want to look there. Fortunately, there is only one truth and you can see your truth in everyone you meet.
Everyone you know is one and the same thing. Everything you see is one and same thing. Everything that has ever been, is now, or will ever be is one and same thing. There’s only one thing that makes up everything we see, hear, think and feel. What we do with this knowledge or don’t do is up to each of us.
