I write about aerospace, environment, energy, Second Amendment policy
There are some large disconnects between Obama administration explanations concerning security and response actions taken before, during and after the disastrous terrorist attacks on our Benghazi consulate and accounts, compared with those which continue to emerge from outside sources. Following numerous White House claims now known to be inaccurate and intentionally misleading, we are repeatedly assured that we will get the real scoop in due time after full investigations are complete. One perplexing issue, among many, revolves around conflicting accounts regarding requests and denials of military aid which might have saved American lives.
Further delays only increase wide-spread suspicions that there are no legitimate answers, and that the president's strategy is to run out the clock until after his final election is over. If this were not the case, it would seem logical that he would seize upon every opportunity to demonstrate evidence of the leadership and transparency he has repeatedly promised. Meanwhile, those who dare to raise those questions and express such suspicions are often subjected by his supporters to scornful reproach. And yes, I speak from experience on this…a subject I will get to later.
Putting serious questions aside regarding why early requests for enhanced consulate security had been repeatedly denied, along with misplaced blame for the attack on an obscure anti-Muslim video, let's focus exclusively upon controversies surrounding that fateful seven-hour assault period.
During an October 16 interview, Denver's WUSA-TV reporter Kyle Clark asked President Obama a two-part question: "Were the Americans under attack at the consulate in Benghazi, Libya denied requests for help during that attack, and is it fair to tell Americans that what happened is under investigation until after the election?" Expressing his regret about the casualties and sympathy for their families, plus a determination to bring the perpetrators to justice, the president didn't answer either question.
After dodging, Clark asked the first and most important part again: "Were they denied requests for help during the attack?" And once again Obama offered a non-answer, saying: "I can tell you as I have said over the last couple of months since this happened, that the minute I found out this was going on, I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to. Number two, we're going to investigate exactly what happened to make sure it doesn't happen again. Number three, find out who did this so we can bring them to justice." He continued, "I guarantee you that everybody in the State Department, our military, CIA, you name it, had number-one priority making sure that people were safe. These are our folks. And we're going to find out exactly what happened."
So are we to take it from this that President Obama expressly said that in the very beginning he issued a clear directive instructing that all possible means be employed by his National Security Council to secure our personnel? Such a directive would constitute an "Execute Order", an official mandate that would carry the inviolate authority of our nation's commander-in-chief. Where is that document?
The New York Times reported that defense department officials said they did not receive a request for help from the State Department as the attack unfolded. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was with President Obama in the Oval Office for a regular meeting when the first attack reports came in, then later said: "There's a lot of Monday-morning quarterbacking going on here", adding that "the basic principle is that you don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on, without having some real-time information about what's taking place."
Yet the administration had already put our people in harm's way…and did so without providing adequate protection. So if the president had issued a formal order to "employ all possible means to secure our personnel", then wouldn't the correct decision be to deploy aid to save them? And in not doing so, didn't the defense secretary countermand the alleged direct order? On the other hand, it wouldn't seem very likely for that to occur when his military superior, the president, was right there in the Oval Office with him.
According to a Fox News report by Jennifer Griffin, former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty (who were later killed), were ordered to stand down three times following calls during the attack. The first two times occurred soon after they heard initial shots fired, informed higher-ups at the CIA annex, and requested permission to go to the consulate to help out. However, they ignored those orders and made their way to the consulate, which by that time was on fire. The rescue team then returned to the CIA annex about midnight after evacuating those who remained at the consulate and retrieving the body of Sean Smith. They had not succeeded in locating Ambassador Stevens.
Woods and Doherty called again for military support as they began to take on gunfire at the annex. Again, the request was denied. According to those present at the compound, there were no communications problems at the annex, and the team was in constant radio contact with headquarters. Ty Woods was manning a machine gun on the annex roof at the time. He painted a targeting laser on the enemy mortar that later killed him after calling for support from a Spectre gunship that never arrived.
The fighting at the CIA annex lasted for more than four hours. That provided plenty of time for American aircraft and commandos based at our Sigonella Air base in Italy 480 miles away to intervene.
Two separate Special Operations forces were instructed to stand down. Senior military and intelligence sources informed Fox News that a force specializing in counterterrorism rescues which was already in place at Sigonella could have reached Benghazi within less than two hours. The other team had previously operated in Central Europe, and was being moved to Sigonella.
CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Youngblood denied claims that any requests for support were turned down. She said: "We can say with confidence that the Agency reacted quickly to aid our colleagues during that terrible evening in Benghazi. Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need: claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate." So if not the CIA…then who did issue the stand down orders?
Larry Womack, writing in the Huffington Post, did a hatchet piece which referred to my earlier October 24 article titled "White House Watched Benghazi Attacked And Didn't Respond" as a "jumble of lies" and a "rant". He asserted I had erroneously stated that European military forces that might have rapidly responded did not arrive at Sigonella "until after the attack was over". However this is directly at odds with reports that at least one counterterrorism force was already in place there ready for immediate deployment.
Womack also challenged my "outlandish claim" that "absurdly" misrepresented drone footage of Benghazi events as "live video" and my assertion "that a series of email alerts received late Tuesday evening provides additional information that was known to Obama administration officials shortly after the attack commenced."
Well actually…yes! Two surveillance drones had been redirected to Benghazi shortly after the attack began, and were already hovering over the compound. One was sent to relieve the first, perhaps due to fuel issues, and both were capable of sending real-time visuals back to Washington. Any U.S. official or agency with the proper clearance, including the White House Situation Room, State Department, CIA, Pentagon and others could continuously call up that video on their computers.
As for real-time emails, there were lots of them also. According to reports, between 300 and 400 national security figures received these real-time updates throughout the attack. The first one came in about 20 minutes after the fighting began. Another, received just two hours into the raid, advised White House and State Department officials that an Islamic militant group called Ansar al-Sharia had taken credit.
Just to prove that I really can't be trusted to present accurate information, Mr Womack pointed out that I'm "a climate change denier!" (exclamation emphasis in original). Although I really don't appreciate the Holocaust implication of that "denier" term, he's at least correct that I'm a bone fide skeptic on that subject… to the extent this conceivably matters. He also cited a reference to some related statements I have made on that subject which appear in an alarmist blog link. Frankly, I enthusiastically stand by all of them.
Womack concluded his article expressing angry disdain for conservative blogs which he believes callously exploit the Benghazi tragedy for political purposes. Here, he echoes a defense repeatedly voiced by the president. Yet if President Obama is offended that people suspect he hasn't been forthcoming, there's a very simple solution. Just provide real evidence to back up his administration's claims…perhaps starting with that three point order he purportedly issued immediately upon learning of the attack.
Until he does so, this clearly is, and should be, an important political issue. Senator John McCain articulated reasons for this very clearly: "This tragedy, turned into a debacle and massive cover-up or massive incompetence in Libya, is having an impact on the voters because of their view of the commander-in-chief. It is the worst cover-up or incompetence I have ever observed in my life. Somebody the other day said to me, 'This is as bad as Watergate…[but] nobody died in Watergate."
Obama won office based on lies. It isn't surprising that he is still a liar!
Mr. Larry Bell,
This conspiracy theory about Benghazi and the White House has gone on and on for too long for reasons known to some of you right wingers. Look back ten years and you see the 9/11 attack in which more than three thousand people both American and others from all around the world lost their lives. How long did you people who have the privilege of using the media want to demonise the President go on for, to criticise the response from the white house occupants at the time of 9/11? Why did you fellows not follow the response from the white at the time of that tragedy with the zeal and determination that you now show on the Benghazi tragedy? Which one was worse? Which one if any deserved serious answers from the white house at the time? Is it because the occupant of the white house was white that the issue never got the seriousness it deserved? Why do some of you people keep on writing about something that was a national tragedy as if it was a point scoring game of chess? Since Friday more than sixty people have lost their lives from the storm of Hurricane Sandy. You don't see those sixty people as deserving of any highlights in the media? You seem oblivious to the dangers of climate that should be given serious attention. Instead all that rings in your head(s) is Benghazi. What is there in the Benghazi tragedy that you want to hear told such that you can't move on and cover other serious national disasters like Hurricane Sandy? By pursuing the Benghazi tragedy over and over again, what do you expect to gain from it? How stupid and petty can some of you people be? What do you want President Obama and the White House to say or tell you for some of you to be convinced that the issue needs to be left to rest? You don't think you are irritating your readers with one issue repeatedly appearing in the papers long after it has been overtaken by new and emerging events? You ought to have realised that even the public has moved on and perhaps going on over one issue for ever shows how empty your head is! People cannot be kept hostage to one event when so many things are happening all the time. Do you expect the President to be horned in at the White house pondering over the Benghazi issue and not attend to other matters of national Importance? Furthermore do you expect the President to abandon his campaign for re-election in order to deal with your personal concerns over the Benghazi issue? You need to move on and write about more recent and more current issues that are of equal significance to the Benghazi attack. Whoever has paid you to keep yapping about the Benghazi tragedy is doing you more harm than good. Maybe for your pocket it is healthy but it is of no value to the readers right now. There are other urgent issues that demand for the President's attention. it is a shame on you to go on and on and on about one issues when there are so many urgent issues that need the President's attention. You are sitting in your office right now but the President is out in the Hurricane Sandy devastated areas comforting people who have lost their property and consoling those who have lost their loved ones. Yours is a simple job of criticising from the comfort of your office without any tangible input to solve the problems afflicting people.
I can't believe I actually read this rambling tripe….To answer your question – 'What do you want President Obama and the White House to say or tell you for some of you to be convinced that the issue needs to be left to rest?' How about the truth!!
Of course he is out in the hurricane affected areas; the election is in 5 days. His "urgent issues" have frequently included Hollywood. He's dragging his feet concerning Benghazi because of the election. Four people dead after two bombings and requests for more security; these families and America are owed an explanation. This is an urgent issue and makes Watergate and Clinton's Monica fiasco look like Sunday morning service.
Expanding just a bit on Al Morelli's comment, I would also like to see the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from the mainstream media.
By way of example about this particular situation, I was prompted to confirm my own memory of the Sept 12 Rose Garden remarks, which led me to write this piece over at RedState two weeks ago: "PBS NewsHour€™'s '€œFact-Checking Debate Claims on Libya Attacks'€ skips their own 9/12 facts" http://www.redstate.com/russellc/2012/10/18/pbs-newshours-fact-checking-debate-claims-on-libya-attacks-skips-their-own-912-facts/
There IS NO issue of greater import than knowing if the soi-disant "Commander in Chief" is capable of living up to that task!
And using the race card is laughable! What a canard!
As for where the President is as I read this, more important is where was he when the Banghazi Band was being murdered, alone, without requested aid that was, reportedly available? Your defense of the Administration's stonewalling on this issue is cowardly sir!
An important issue that Obama voters need to consider is that if he is re-elected, impeachment over Benghazi is a very real possibility. Does ANYONE want Biden as President?
Many more questions than answers being provided….There was enough time to protect our fellow Americans…Over SEVEN hours to respond…2 navy seal heroes gave their life expecting help from this administration…It never came! Disgraceful
It is clear that Washington is sandbagging the Benghazi issue because of the election. This fact alone would dissuade me from voting for Obama if I intended to. He is the Commander In Chief and this ultimately falls in his lap. His main concern is getting re-elected and not America. Four people dead after two bombings and requesting more security; they saw it coming and weren't "crying wolf".
Your post does a good job raising the questions that the mainstream media seems determined to ignore. This is very simple:
1. Who gave the order to stand down — when, how was it communicated? (I think you fairly debunked the notion that the "we don't send troops into harm's way without better info" is disingenuous on its face, especially when we clearly send unarmed State Department people into harm's way?)
2. How can this President insist that so much was unknown and that he does not "rush to judgment" (slap at Romney) and yet obviously dispatched his proxies (Rice, Carney) to aggressively sell the story that this was a mob action from a video?
3.Why did this President stand before an audience of world leaders at the US and make 7-9 references about the video, when he had to know at that point that it was not?
4. Obama said he wanted to be careful before assigning blame for the attack. So, you were perfectly okay blaming this on a mob (which might suggest some criticism of local Libyan police?) but you did not want to be wrong in blaming Al-Qaeda because…because…you were afraid of offending them? Since when does this exercise of caution serve our interests?
The bigger issue, apart from any squabbling over timelines, is whether it is appropriate for a commander-in-chief to take a view that this was a mob attack until convinced otherwise. Shouldn't he err on the side of assuming it was a terrorist attack until convinced otherwise?

Comanche senior JonWayne Townsend was in no mood to lose on homecoming night to Marlow.
So he made sure he gave his team a much needed boost during his match.
Townsend's pin over MHS' Cody Scroggins at the 1:02 mark of the second period in the 138-pound match gave the Indians a 21-9 advantage, which proved to be the catapult CHS needed to roll in a 67-19 victory over the Outlaws.
"I try to come into every match with the same mindset of dominating every aspect," Townsend said. "I never overlook or underestimate anyone. Cody Scroggins is no slouch. He's a state qualifier and a decent wrestler. Getting that pin was a real big confidence booster for my team and motivated them to go out and do the same thing."
It wasn't until the 152-pound match that CHS was able to gain a solid upper hand over the Outlaws.
With the score sitting at 21-13, Comanche's Josh Hodges picked up a 9-0 victory over Marlow's Nick Yates in the 152-pound division, which made the score 25-13 in favor of the Indians.
Marlow made life difficult though as the Outlaws came out in the first match of the evening with Logan Knox claiming a 4-2 victory over Corey Williams in the 113-pound division, giving the Outlaws a 3-0 lead.
Comanche took the lead at 6-3 with Shayne Revels going unopposed at 120 pounds.
After CHS' Ricky Kelly got a 5-1 decision over Chris Davis at 126 pounds, a double forfeit at 132 pounds got the Outlaws back in the dual at 15-9.
Seth Scarbrough got the only other win on the night for the Outlaws in a match situation as he won a major decision over Jonathan Robinson by a score of 13-2.
"This was the best we have wrestled this year," Comanche coach Jason Miller said. "Our kids were finishing moves out there. We did alright in the first match only losing by two points. The match was Scarbrough was rough as well but we didn't give up the pin which helped a lot. We needed this dual to build some confidence for us."
Devin Renfro (182), Skyler Stengel (160), and Jason Loafman (195) all obtained pinfall victories for the Indians on the night.
Comanche will be back at home on Jan. 22 in a triangular against Davis and Plainview.

A General
Overview of our Process
It is
important to note that we receive 400-600 applications each year. If you
apply late in the cycle (any time after November 30th), there could be
several hundred applications ahead of yours in the queue. Applications are
processed on a first in, first out basis. Application materials are
screened by the staff of the Doctoral Studies Program (DSP) for completeness.
Once an application is determined to be complete, it is forwarded on to the
appropriate admissions committee. There are eight committees - one for each
specialized area of the program. These committees are typically composed of
faculty members; however, some also include current Ph.D. students.
Incomplete applications are held in the DSP office until they are completed.
Incomplete files will not be reviewed.
If the admissions committee is interested in possibly admitting you to the
program, you may be invited to the school for an interview. Interviews
generally take place January through March. These visits are coordinated by
the individual areas of specialization and generally involve faculty,
current doctoral students and staff. They provide a chance to see the Ross
School and the University of Michigan first-hand.
Note: Applicants to the Management & Organizations program are
typically interviewed by phone. Only those who are admitted to the program
will be invited to campus. The campus visit is not structured as an
interview, but as a chance to visit Ann Arbor and to experience the sense of
community offered within the M&O program.
In cases where travel to Ann Arbor is not feasible, admissions committees
may elect to conduct an interview via telephone or Skype.
Decision letters are sent out shortly after the DSP is notified of the
admission committee's decision. Initial contact is generally delivered from
the DSP by email. Successful applicants will also receive a packet of
information sent by a commercial delivery service.
Please note that
applicants who are admitted to the Ph.D. Program in Business Administration
will be asked to submit official, printed copies of all transcripts to the
Ross School. This is in addition to the copies submitted with the
application. These documents will become part of each student's official
academic record.
Checking the status of my application
Applicants will now be able to
check the status of their applications and register their decisions online.
This service will be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
However, please note that after you submit your application, it will take at
least 10 days for your information to enter the system and for you to be
able to check your status.
How to check your application
If you have questions or encounter problems with the process, please contact the Doctoral Studies Office.

Bills hire Crossman as special-teams coordinator
The Bills hired Danny Crossman as their special-teams coordinator on Monday.
Lions make coaching-staff changes
The Lions hired Curtis Modkins and Bobby Johnson to join the offensive coaching staff, among several changes announced Monday.
Running back a need for Lions
A change-of-pace back is one of the bigger needs for a Lions offense that looks relatively stable compared to the defense.
Lions, Senior Bowl a logical fit
If ever there were a team that needed to coach the Senior Bowl, the Detroit Lions fit the bill.
The Jaguars released Osgood on Tuesday.||||||| Osgood is a three-time Pro Bowler on special teams and should catch on somewhere.
Osgood leapt out a second-floor window to escape a gun-wielding man who attacked him and a 19-year-old woman. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, the armed intruder exchanged gunfire with his ex-girlfriend, Mackenzie Rae Putnal, after putting a gun to her head on Monday night.||||||| Police say Osgood, 30, sustained some minor bruises during the attack and while fleeing. Coach Jack Del Rio says, "He's fine. I'm aware of it. I really can't comment on that whole deal. He's doing OK."
Osgood signed a four-year contract with the Chargers on Friday. Financial terms were not disclosed. The special teams standout and reserve wide receiver led San Diego with 19 special teams tackles before suffering a torn pectoral muscle in a Dec. 4 game. He had just two catches for 21 yards this season.|||||||
Tests have revealed that Osgood has a torn pectoral muscle, an injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Oakland Raiders. According to Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer, the receiver will undergo surgery in the near future and miss the rest of the season. He will be placed on injured reserve.||||||| The majority of Osgood's playing time has come on special teams this season, giving him no fantasy value. For the year, he had just two catches for 21 yards.
Osgood has re-signed with the San Diego Chargers, agreeing to a one-year contract. The receiver appeared in all 16 of the team's regular-season contests in 2004, finishing the year with 15 catches for 308 yards and two touchdowns. He also saw extensive action on special teams.||||||| Osgood is expected to fill a similar role with the Chargers next season. He'll likely end up as the teams third or fourth wideout.

INDIAN LAND — Sophomore point guard Darnell Rogers was one of the last to leave the locker room after a 96-65 win against region foes Cheraw (9-5, 3-2 in Region 4-2A) Friday night.
He wasn't looking forward to leaving the hard court, but duty calls: he had to write "like, four reports" for his English class during the weekend.
Rogers would have preferred to play a few more quarters like he did last night, where he paced a surging Indian Land team (12-4, 5-0 in region) with 28 points, including four three-pointers. He and senior Lee McCall combined for more than half of the Warriors' points total, which keeps the team's undefeated region streak alive heading deep into conference play.
"It's a great win, for sure," said Warrior coach Nate Smith. "Lee's a senior, he's been our defensive player of the year so far and I looked at him and said, 'This is your last game against Cheraw at home. You've been through this, so there's nothing you can do but play your best.'"
McCall's success in the paint helped stymie a Cheraw side that came out of the traps shooting hot. The Braves' Zach Sellers (26 points, two rebounds) and Wayne Jones (eight points, four rebounds) dominated the boards early in the first quarter, which allowed the host few opportunities for long-range efforts.
Down 16-11 after the first quarter, Smith said he changed up his team's defensive scheme from a zone cover to man-to-man.
"You look at (Sellers), he's one of the best guards in the nation. He really put Cheraw on his shoulders and I went back to a man defense, I said, 'We gotta stop him, man against man.'"
Smith's plan worked.
The Warriors rolled on an eight-minute 22-9 run leading into halftime and continued to find pay dirt after the break. Sophomore center Quantra Taylor (8 points) collected several crucial rebounds, as Rogers got hot behind the three-point line, hitting two treys in a row between the third and fourth quarters, while finishing all 14 of his attempted free throws.
Rogers would sit out the majority of the last frame after getting into foul trouble, but Smith never needed him. Taylor's dunk to extend the Warrior lead to 25 with four minutes left sent an already rowdy Indian Land student section into a frenzy.
"When you're up by that much, there's just no way you're gonna come back from that," Rogers said, with a grin.
Indian Land will play three tough contests in the coming week, including a trip to Chesterfield, sandwiched between home games against Central Pageland and Buford.
"I keep reminding them, where we want to go," Smith said. "I'm not overlooking Buford or any of them. They're all tough games."
Indian Land 96, Cheraw, 65
Darnell Rogers: 28 points; Quantra Taylor: 8 points, 4 rebounds; Lee McCall: 24 points, 8 rebounds; Brandon Sellers: 4 points, 1 rebound; Mark Morton: 4 points; Brandon Barnes: 3 points; Damien Foreman: 15 points, 2 rebounds; Chuck Webb: 2 points; Darries Hampton: 6 points; Jake Dyer: 1 point

This mower overall is pretty good. It lacks a little power cutting through thick gas fast but if you slow it down it cuts it no problem. Very easy to crack and pretty good on gas. Bag is fast to dump and goes up hills easily.

I bought the Craftsman 150cc OHV Briggs & StrattonGold Series Engine, 22" All-Wheel Drive Lawn Mower for my house which has a steep incline. After fighting for years on my hilly lawn with a push-mower that did not have All Wheel Drive, this mower was a real treat. It starts on the first pull each time. It is nearly 100lbs, and heavier than that with the grass in it, so you'll get a work-out compared to self-propelled mowers. It has 4 height adjustments for grass cutting, and 3 handle height positions. Overall, a nice mower that comes with the attached bagger.

This mower is the real deal. I have a backyard that drops almost at a 45 degree angle and an all-wheel drive mower makes my mowing a breeze. I'll never settle for anything less, it's all-wheel from here on out. And the water hose hook-up to flush out/clean afterwards couldn't be easier. This mower is a beast!

DH just had back surgery and has to be very careful about bending/twisting. This mower is easy to start and easy to walk with.
via sears.com
The lawn mower did not start on the second time we tried to mow our lawn. We looked at everything--spar plug, filter, etc. and determined that it just stopped working. We drove it back to Sears and demanded a replacement. The handle, however is not ergonomically designed well--in spite of the cushioned grips. The handle pull requires more force/pull whereby cramps begin much earlier than when we had our former craftsman and our toro. Also, I believe the fact that there is no oil prep button hinders the start process. It cuts the grass fairly well--when it does work.

Replaced the first one. The new one will not start either. Very bad design. Will not buy from Sears again. This really gives Craftsman a bad name.

The bag seems to hold much more than my old Toro bag... The 4 wheel drive flies with a great handle to control it. 2 hours of mowing and no hand cramps. My old Toro killed my hand after 15 minutes. The engine has not failed to start after 1 pull ever, with 6 mows so far. I'm happy with the purchase.
via sears.com
This is a good mower with lots of speed, a little too much for me. Easy to set up, and it starts right away. Cleans up easy. My grass is not level and the mower just keeps going.

unless you have a flat lawn..or a lawn with mimimal grade.do not buy this mower.its weight is close to 100 lbs,if you have to pull It backwards you will struggle,the bag keeps coming off, and you have to have the hands capable of palming a basketball to keep the drive engaged..but it is a very well built mower for the money.
Ellicott City, MD
via sears.com
This is not what I expected from a new lawn mower. Bought new put in gas, oil and pulled cord engine will not start. Now we have to take the mower in to find the problem. Briggs and Stratton advises it will start on first or second pull. Transportation of mower to have it serviced is at our expense. Not happy. Will not buy another mower From Sears.

A blister (bulla, or, when small, a vesicle) is a bubble of fluid that forms beneath a thin layer of dead skin. The fluid is a mixture of water and proteins that oozes from injured tissue. Blisters most commonly form in response to a specific injury, such as a burn or irritation, and usually involve only the topmost layers of skin. These blisters heal quickly, usually without leaving a scar. Blisters that develop as part of a systemic (bodywide) disease may start in the deeper layers of the skin and cover widespread areas. These blisters heal more slowly and may leave scars.
Many diseases and injuries can cause blistering, but three autoimmune diseases—bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, and pemphigus vulgaris—are among the most serious. In an autoimmune disease, the body's immune system, which normally protects the body against foreign invaders, mistakenly attacks the body's own cells (see see Autoimmune Disorders)—in this case, the skin.

Some scars apparently remain long after the wounds have begun to heal.
That was the impression Mayor Melodee Colbert-Kean had after viewing Joplin from the air Wednesday.
"You can still clearly see the tornado path," she said. "It's clearly etched by the lack of trees, the sparse housing. It still takes your breath away."
The mayor joined nearly 30 other leaders from the city and Missouri Southern State University in taking aerial tours of Joplin by helicopter on Wednesday morning, courtesy of the Missouri Army National Guard aviation wing from Springfield and MSSU instructor Capt. Amanda Self.
The flights, each about 10 minutes long, flew the group along the six-mile path of the tornado in Joplin, beginning at the eastern edge of the city.
Despite the still-visible wounds to the city landscape, Colbert-Kean said she could easily envision what Joplin will look like in the next five to 10 years. A plan developed by the city's contracted master developer calls for more than $800 million in projects, including a new theater/library complex, a performing and visual arts center, an event venue and sports complex, and a hotel and convention center.
"I see a lot of potential, and once the master developer really gets going, it will be almost like bringing the big city to Joplin," Colbert-Kean said. "You see the possibilities of the growth in Joplin."
Scott Clayton, executive director of Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity, said he appreciated the opportunity to see Joplin from the air. He said that from the helicopter, he saw several Habitat homes — 52 have been completed since the tornado, with six more scheduled for completion next week — as well as several other housing developments under construction.
"I was thinking about how far we've come," he said of his train of thought during the flight. "There's a lot left to do, but so much has been done."
MSSU President Bruce Speck said he was surprised to see forested areas surrounding Joplin, despite the general lack of trees inside the tornado zone.
"I thought it was quite amazing," he said. "It was very interesting to see the city from an aerial viewpoint. You get a different perspective."
Leading the flights were four representatives of the Missouri Army National Guard aviation unit in Springfield, the same unit that provided air transport for Gov. Jay Nixon and others after the tornado.
Joplin has had a particularly significant relationship with the National Guard since the tornado. Guardsmen became involved in Joplin and Duquesne the night of May 22, 2011; at its peak, the guard had 377 of its members helping in the two towns.
They initially worked search and rescue missions, directed traffic, and set up a mobile medical unit. More recently, they supervised 1,400 people who were participating in cleanup crews under a $19 million federal grant.
Last month, the National Guard pulled the last the soldier it still had working in the area as a result of the tornado.
Colbert-Kean said she is thankful to the National Guard — and the thousands of volunteers who worked in Joplin after the tornado — for their efforts in helping local residents clean up and rebuild.
"We support any type of organization that has been here during the time of the tornado," she said. "We're appreciative. I don't think we can say that enough. Without them, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Pours a slightly hazy amber with a thick beige head that retains well and leaves pretty lacing. The aroma has loads of juicy hops (notes of citrus, pine, resin), along with vanilla and oak, caramel, toffee, pear and apple, maple syrup and some alcohol. The flavor is very reminiscent of Old Ruffian, with huge fresh hops upfront (pineapple, mango, pine resin, lime), along with caramel and toffee, vanilla, oak, gala apples, pear, biscuit and alcohol. The mouthfeel is on the heavy side of medium and drinkability is good despite the ABV. Very nice DIPA from Great Divide, bordering on Barleywine territory but tasty and complex nonetheless.

I was sure this was well past it's prime, as it had been pushed back into a corner, so I figured what the hell... However, once again I have proven to be very very wrong....
Poured from a 650 ml bottle into a footed tulip.
A: Dark amber hue. Pours a 1 finger, foamy, whitish head. Settles pretty slowly leaving some residue behind as it does. Tons o' cascading, dry, sticky lacing. Head renews fully with each pour.
S: Pine resin, honey, a little grapefruit, butterscotch, and orange citrus.
T: Full of pine resin, with a little raisin. Sweet dark chocolate and butterscotch. Soft, distinct wood character is very notable.
M: Thick, hearty, malty, and syrupy. Pungent aftertaste. A little dry in the finish. Woody, citrus notes hang on the palate. It is slightly harsh. High alcohol content is apparent.
D: Sip and enjoy.
Atmosphere is excellent. Great head, and some impressive lacing. Nose is full of character with prominent characteristic notes of resin, grapefruit, citrus, and sweet. Flavor is a very finely balanced combination of syrupy pine, bittersweet raisin, with candied chocolate and butterscotch, all with a pungent woody base. Thick, hearty, and malty. Overall, this is a great quaff.

Why am I reviewing this beer now? I've had both the 17th and 18th anniversary versions fresh. They weren't hoppy at all and were super oaky (like drinking a 2x4) so when I found a 16th anniversary on the shelf (hooray shelf-aged beers!) I said "why not?" Figured the oak may have faded somewhat and maybe it's halfway decent. Let's find out...
A: Pours a murky amber. Big frothy tan head. Fade slowly, leaving surprisingly decent lacing behind. Quite decent head retention too.
S: Loaded with raisins plus some caramel and some oak. A little bit of citrusy and grassy hops, surprisingly enough. Smells a lot like an american style barleywine.
T: Caramel, raisin and brown sugar abound up front with nice hints of oaky vanilla. Mild hop bitterness somehow, especially towards the finish. Mainly grassy and a bit of pine and citrus with some toasted oak characteristics. Finishes oaky and bitter. Zero booze.
M: Medium bodied, honestly not as heavy as I'd expect a 10% aged beer to be.
O: Well damn, what a nice experiment. When these beers are fresh they are oak bombs. There is only a little oak left in this now, it's more of an afterthought to the strong malt. Surprisingly still hoppy and bitter. Honestly it's quite nicely balanced. Not bland after 2+ years. Still nothing earth shattering but quite an improvement.

Review from 8/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a clear red amber, slight head, no lacing. Wood and hop aroma. Pleasant medium bodied oaked IPA with moderate hops. Hoppy middle with a somewhat astringent finish. Not a hop forward IPA. Oak is nice, but not very complex. An enjoyable oaked IPA, but not that remarkable.

TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AP) — The military says it doesn't appear an F-22 fighter's oxygen system caused the $190 million jet to crash.
Air Force Col. David Graff said in a prepared statement on Friday that an initial review of Thursday afternoon's crash found the life system did not play a role. But Graff said a full investigation is underway.
The pilot ejected safely before the stealth fighter jet went down in a wooded area of Tyndall Air Force Base in the Florida Panhandle.
In 2008, F-22 pilots began reporting hypoxia-like problems, forcing the Air Force to acknowledge concerns about the jet's oxygen supply system. Two years later, the oxygen system contributed to a fatal crash. Though pilot error ultimately was deemed to be the cause, the fleet was grounded for four months in 2011.

Seahawks Win OT Thriller Over Panthers
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 02/17/2013
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Senior guard Tawanna Lee stole an inbounds pass and made a short jumper with five seconds remaining to lift UNCW over Georgia State, 84-83, in an overtime Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball game Sunday at Trask Coliseum.
The Seahawks snapped a nine-game losing streak in dramatic fashion and improved to 3-20 overall and 2-10 in the CAA. The Panthers had their record evened at 12-12 on the season and stand 4-9 in their final campaign in the CAA.
Junior guard Jessica Freeman and senior forward Karneshia Garrett carried the Seahawks, combining for 49 of the team's season-high 84 points. Freeman poured in a career-high 27 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-9 behind the arc, and added four rebounds and four assists.
Garrett, meanwhile, added 22 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks in a mammoth effort. The active inside player dominated play inside the paint in the second half to help the Seahawks extend the contest. Sophomore guard Kelva Atkins gave the Seahawks three players in double figures with 14 points.
Sophomore guard Ashley Watson anchored three GSU players in double digits with 16 points. Freshman guard Ashlee Cole scored 13 and senior guard Tiffany Anderson had 10 for the Panthers, who shot 37 percent on the day.
The two teams battled to a 73-all draw in regulation before the Panthers scored the first five points of the extra period. GSU still led, 81-77, with 49 seconds left when the Seahawks staged their scintillating comeback.
Garrett worked inside for a layup with 20 seconds left to close the deficit to 81-79 and after Watson made a pair of free throws to push the score back to 83-79 with 18 seconds on the clock, Freeman swished a key triple on the left wing with 10 ticks remaining.
Lee, who had made just one basket to that point, then swiped the inbounds pass and connected on a short jumper with five seconds left, drawing a timeout from GSU Head Coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener. The Panthers inbounded the ball to Cody Paulk who passed it to Kayla Nolan and the sophomore guard's 35-foot heave was ruled after the horn.
After taking a 38-34 lead at halftime, the Panthers increased their lead to 10 points midway through the second period before UNCW rallied down the stretch to force overtime.
Clinging to a 57-51 advantage, GSU pushed the margin to 10 points by converting four straight free throws with 9:41 remaining. Watson made a pair free throws when the UNCW bench was assessed a technical foul and Anderson added two more charity tosses to push the score to 61-51.
UNCW scored 13 of the next 16 points, however, to narrow the deficit to 66-64. Garrett did most of the damage, scoring 10 points in the spurt to help the Seahawk pull within two points at 4:19.
But GSU reeled off seven unanswered points and Watson's jumper at the free throw line helped the Panthers get the score back to 73-64 with 2:26 left to play.
The Seahawks took advantage of some sloppy play by the Panthers to force overtime by scoring the final nine points of regulation. Freeman scored on a layup to start the rally and then added a three-pointer to keep the rally going. Atkins and Lee then made two free throws each to tie the score.
UNCW had a chance to win it in regulation, but had a shot blocked and missed a desperation three-ball with three seconds left. GSU failed to get off a shot as time expired.
No more than five points separated the two teams in the opening half and the lead changed 12 times before the Panthers took a three-point lead into the half.
GSU opened the game by scoring the first five points before the Seahawks used Freeman's hot hand to get untracked. The junior guard from Charlotte scored 14 points, including 3-of-4 from long distance, in the opening period for UNCW.
Garrett converted a layup with 2:59 left to give the Seahawks a 34-33 edge, but the Panthers scored the last four points of the half for a 38-34 advantage at the break.
The Seahawks travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. clash at Drexel, while the Panthers visit Northeastern on Thursday for a 7 p.m. tilt.
GAME NOTES: It was UNCW's first overtime game since a 68-64 win over VCU on Feb. 3, 2011, at Trask Coliseum...Freeman's 27 points was a season-high for a UNCW player this season...The Seahawks had two players score more than 20 points for the first time since Kristen Hanzer and Martha White turned the trick on Nov. 19, 2010 against rival East Carolina...The Seahawks shot 42.2 percent from the floor...UNCW outscored GSU, 11-10, in overtime...The Seahawks overcame 16 turnovers...The two teams combined for 33-of-40 at the free throw line, including 20-of-24 by the Seahawks...Only seven players saw action for UNCW...The Seahawks are now 2-9 at home...Garrett's 20-20 game was the first since Sharon McDowell had 20 points and 20 rebounds vs. East Carolina on Feb. 27, 1988.

August 2, 2014
(AP) Republicans sent Democratic Governor Jim Doyle a bill Friday that would slightly reduce average property tax bills in Wisconsin, but the Governor vetoed it as soon as he got back from a trade mission to Mexico Friday night.
The GOP controlled Legislature passed the bill last month, but lawmakers held off sending it to the Governor, saying they hoped to
convince him to sign it.
Aides say Doyle vetoed the bill on his return to the state, on grounds that it would hurt public education.
Doyle has proposed his own plan to limit property taxes that
includes pumping an additional $850-million into public schools.

About Jean Patou
History and background of Jean Patou. Jean Patou was born in Normandy, France, in 1880. Patou's father was a leading tanner (leather maker) and his uncle owned a fur business which Patou joined in 1907. In 1912 Patou opened Maison Parry, a small dressmaking salon in Paris, and sold his entire 1914 collection to one American buyer. His career was then interrupted by the war, which he spent as an army captain. Read more about Jean Patou

Niagara Gazette — The Wilson Lakemen face a few uncertainties early on this season, bringing to the court a group of young, talented, athletic players with little varsity experience.
The Lakemen lost all of last year's starting five to graduation, including first-team All-Niagara-Orleans guard Tyler Martin and second-team guard Pat Diez. Also gone are Pat Walch, David Littere and Dustin DiLaura.
The lone returnee that played significant minutes last year, senior Liam McIntosh, is out until January with an injury, and the other three returners from last season — seniors Matt Baker, Geoff Lort and Zach Magoon — played only limited minutes.
"Matt is off to a good start," coach Brett Sippel said. "He played a couple of good games last year and has been good this year. He put a lot of time in in the offseason.
"Lort barely played last year, but he came in, put in a lot of work in the offseason and is now a captain for us."
What the young Lakemen do bring to the table is size and athleticism. A fixture in the starting lineup has been 6-foot-3 junior Kevin Daunce, and sophomores Kyle Bradley and Jarrett Johnston bring similar frames.
"We're pretty young and lack experience, but the talent is there," Sippel said. "We have decent size.
"We played a lot in summer tournaments, so a lot of guys got experience there. Now it's just about game experience, learning to work hard — and they are working hard. Right now, we need to work on scoring, which has been a problem early on."
In Wilson's four games this season, Sippel has used four different starting lineups. The coach said depth is a strength, especially once his team learns how to defend and get out in transition.
"We're suiting up 10 guys right now, and everyone is playing the same amount of minutes," Sippel said. "We're looking for some guys to assert themselves into the starting lineup.
