Freshman Emmy Merrill is a PLNU student to watch. As a young, breakout, competitive and championship surfer, she's on fire.
From February 19-25, 2012, Emmy was in Peru where she competed in the ISA Stand Up Paddle and Paddleboard Championship against women of different ages from many different countries. She won first place.
She went into the competition as an 18-year-old champion surfer who has won highly competitive events, as well as national titles for her high school surf team in San Clemente. She's what Surfline.com calls "the quintessential water-woman," and we were able to get an interview with her about her surfing career and championship win at ISA.
Read a Q&A with Emmy on PLNU's blog.
Point Loma Nazarene University is helping the San Diego Foundation cast a vision for the future of the greater San Diego region.
PLNU is a participating partner in the foundation's Our Greater San Diego Vision program that is surveying San Diego residents to help create a plan for San Diego's future. In addition, PLNU's director of community outreach and governmental relations, Megan Ekard Collins, is one of only 100 people selected from the San Diego region to sit on the Our Greater San Diego Vision council as an ambassador.
"We want to plan for San Diego's future to help ensure that future generations can enjoy America's Finest City as much as we do today. We expect 1.3 million more residents in San Diego County in the next 40 years, so now is the ideal time to cast a vision for the way we want our community to grow," said Ekard.
Survey participants voice their opinions on issues such as education, jobs, housing, the environment, and future amenities such as parks, sports and entertainment venues, libraries, museums, and the arts.
Thus far, PLNU is reporting a survey rate that is eight times higher than most other participating organizations.
PLNU encourages students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, parents, and friends to participate in the survey and help shape our community's future. Please visit www.ourgreatersandiegovision.org/PLNU before Jan. 31.
Point Loma Nazarene University had the 3rd highest pass rate in California on the 2010 certified public accountant (CPA) exam, according to the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA). PLNU was number one among private and Christian universities. PLNU graduates also had the highest average score on the exam. "I am pleased and proud of our PLNU accounting alumni," said accounting professor Carl Hammond. "It is rewarding to see their hard work pay off, so they are able to build valuable careers. It is an honor to teach at a university that recruits this caliber of students." The University of California, Berkeley ranked number one with a 60.2 percent pass rate while UCLA took the second spot with 58.6 percent. PLNU was just a tenth of a point behind UCLA with 58.5 percent. Rounding out the top five were the University of Southern California and Chapman University.There were 57 schools in California ranked in NASBA's report.
PLNU is pleased to welcome David McCurry as its new associate vice president for university advancement. McCurry brings significant fundraising experience to PLNU, including a proven track record of fundraising success in Christian higher education. He comes to PLNU from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, where he served as the senior development director. In that role, McCurry led the major gifts area and gave direction to annual giving and foundation relations. Prior to joining the fund development team at Westmont nearly 10 years ago, McCurry served as vice president of advancement at Corban University in Salem, Oregon. He also served as vice president of sales and marketing for PAR Distributors in San Jose before moving to Washington to serve as the northwest market manager for Honeywell's automotive aftermarket division, where he managed his team's sales and marketing efforts throughout a five-state region.With a B.A. in business administration from Azusa Pacific University, an M.B.A. with a marketing concentration from City University, and an M.S. in nonprofit management and philanthropy from Bay Bath College in Massachusetts, McCurry is well qualified for his new role at PLNU. He has also earned the internationally recognized certified fund raising executive (CFRE) designation.McCurry is thrilled to be a member of University Advancement at PLNU, according Joe Watkins, Ph.D., vice president for external relations, and is looking forward to interacting with alumni, parents, and friends of the institution; hearing people's stories; and assisting donors in fulfilling their philanthropic dreams through PLNU.As an active volunteer in the Santa Barbara area, McCurry's community service included serving as a volunteer coach through AYSO and the Ben Page Youth Center. He has also served as a mentor at the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission and as board chair of Life Network. Because of that work, K-Lite Radio and the Santa Barbara News Press honored McCurry as a community hero in 2006. Married for nearly 23 years, David and his wife, Susan, have three children, Morgan (18), Jonah (14), and Amanda (12). In his free time, McCurry enjoys walking at the beach, reading, teaching, and nature photography.
The PLNU Speech and Debate Team finished the fall semester by winning first place overall sweepstakes in the four-year college division at the PSCFA Fall Championship held Dec. 2-4 at Cerritos College.
"This effort was helped a great deal by having five of our six teams entered in the senior division of parliamentary debate advancing to the bronze round," noted coach Dr. Skip Rutledge.
PLNU team and individual accomplishments at the tournament included the following: Senior Division NFA Lincoln Douglas Debate:
Junior Division Parliamentary Debate:
Senior Division Parliamentary Debate:
Individual Events Results:
PLNU was recently ranked No. 28 in the Washington Monthly's 2011 College Guide, in the category of master's universities. Their rankings rate schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and Ph.D.s), and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).

Addressing the American Society of Newspaper Editors (4/13/88), President Ronald Reagan asserted that criticism of Jesse Jackson had been muted because of concern that it "might be misinterpreted into some kind of racial attack." The president seemed to be adding his voice to the popular media refrain: When will Jackson's "free ride" with the press end? A closer look suggests the free ride has been rather bumpy.
The Wall Street Journal (3/21/88) reported how Jackson "rants" against corporations. NPR (2/23/88) compared Jackson to a Chinese fortune cookie which "you get whether you want it or not." Jackson's policies are typically dismissed by journalists as "far left"; the phrase "far out" is not an uncommon putdown.
Far from a free ride, Jackson has been running against the press every step of the way. First came the "no frontrunner" period following Gary Hart's departure -- even though some polls gave Jackson twice the support of his nearest Democratic rivals.
Next came the "What Does Jesse Want?" phase. Newsweek's cover, 3/21/88), which assumed that Jackson couldn't be nominated even though he had run strongly in many states (including overwhelmingly white ones). The oft-repeated question took on racial overtones, suggesting that whites can aspire to be president, but a black must have ulterior motives (such as wanting influence over cabinet nominees).
Meanwhile, white voters were taking the views of a black candidate more seriously than much of the press. Jackson's support among white working-class people confounded some journalists, who sought to explain voter reaction, not as approval for his populist economic program, but as an irrational response to Jackson's spellbinding rhetoric.
Jackson's landslide victory in the Michigan caucuses inaugurated the "no more free ride" period. Dan Rather announced (CBS, 4/5/88) that "Jackson's success is bringing new scrutiny" -- implying that Jackson had thus far been spared the tough scrutiny supposedly given to other candidates. To test the "free ride" premise, FAIR compared Jackson coverage to coverage of Ronald Reagan when he ran for president.
Nearly every significant piece on Jesse Jackson has contained the word "anti-Semitism" (e.g., "Jackson's perceived anti-Semitism", Newsweek, 12/14/87; "the taint of anti-Semitism," ABC, 2/15/88). His 1984 "Hymietown" remark and his past relationship with Louis Farrakhan are always cited. Most accounts go on to link these with Jackson's support for a two-state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian crisis -- neglecting to point out that such a solution is endorsed by many prominent American and Israeli Jews.
In a story typical of the genre appearing almost monthly in 1987 -- and daily in the weeks leading up to the New York primary -- the New York Times (6/13/87) dredged up all the old news in the headline: "Three Years Later, Jackson Is Haunted by Anti-Semitism of Farrakhan; Despite Meetings With Jewish Leaders, Suspicions Persist".
By contrast, one is hard-pressed to find a profile of Reagan in the mainstream media that contains the word "racism." Yet Reagan had consistently opposed civil rights laws in the 1960s, as well as open housing in California. When blacks sought to move into whites-only neighborhoods, then-Governor Reagan told realtors that the blacks had "staged attempts to rent homes," but their real intent was "only to cause trouble." Former Reagan cabinet member Terrel Bell said that racist slurs (such as "Martin Lucifer Coon") were frequently uttered by White House staffers.
Blacks fear racism in high places as much as Jews fear anti-Semitism. Yet black concerns rarely get the same media attention. Reagan's presidential campaigns were not subjected to repeated articles bearing headlines such as, "Four Years Later, Reagan Still Haunted by Perceived Racism; Despite Meetings With Black Leaders, Suspicions Persist."
Journalists like to pretend that they are merely observers, not participants, even when their decision to focus on one campaign issue prior to the New York primary -- "Jackson and the Jews" -- undoubtedly influenced the course of events. Thus NBC correspondent Bob Kur (4/11/88) could deadpan about "that lingering image" of Jackson embracing Yassir Arafat. Images have a way of lingering when TV producers decide to show them every day.
Rather and Reality Are Polls Apart
(from EXTRA! Sept. '92)
In an exceptionally nasty and inaccurate attack on Jesse Jackson ("There have always been two Jesse Jacksons -- there's Jesse the radical, who preaches rage and black separatism.... And there's Jesse the self-promoter, who preaches desegregation and compromise"), Dan Rather stated (CBS, 7/13/92) that suburban voters, who he said comprised most of the electorate, are "not in the mood to see much more money spent on the poor." Yet in a May 11 CBS/ New York Timespoll taken shortly after the L.A. riots, 60 percent of respondents said too little was being spent on problems of the big cities, with only 15 percent saying too much. Sixty-one percent said too little was being spent on improving conditions of blacks, while 10 percent said too much. Was the poll flawed, or is Rather parroting the line of conservative Democrats who say you can't appeal to both the poor and the middle class?

Information about risk, prevention, screening, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and support for all cancers.
Oct 19, 2010 - Eight types of human papillomavirus appear to be responsible for over 90 percent of the world's cervical cancer cases; researchers recommend these eight types be the target for future vaccines and that the three most common high-risk human papillomavirus types -- 16, 18, and 45 -- which occur in younger women, should be the focus of type-specific human papillomavirus screening. Their findings have been published online Oct. 18 in The Lancet Oncology.

The station officially went on air on August 1, 1990. Reggae in the morning, Reggae in the evening, Reggae in the night was the cry. Critics said it was impossible to sustain a 24-hour Reggae music station. In fact, so strong was the impact, it proved that this format was something the Jamaican public yearned for. The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.

quote:Well here we are at the end of the season again. Boy do these games fly by!
quote:I feel we really need to win the next two to have a successful season. Forget about brackets. That's like playing not to lose in a tournament you know you aren't going to win.
quote:I knew realistically we were probably only going to win 2 out of the last five but that loss to Missouri hurt too much. If we can pull off the next two we will have a great season considering what players we had. That should get us in the NIT and hopefully we can get a run going there.
quote:But in advance to all the unknowing who will say we should win both easily because A&M is nothing (even though it is a road game) and Ole Miss is never any good (even though they have been better than us in basketball for a while) and it's a home game. These two will be nail biters just like every other SEC game that we have had a chance in. Let's just hope there are no blowouts and we can at least be competitive.

Unfortunately wasn't able to catch any of the game tonight but by the sounds of it it was a close one. Better than getting curb-stomped at any rate
Goes without saying that next game is a big one.
As to Pujols: Definitely understand what you guys are saying but (and this is also from an outside fan looking in) he IS the Cardinals. I know you "have other players" and whatnot but there IS a value to a guy who is pretty much THE franchise, and the face of it as well. Beyond the stats, beyond the performance, that has a value in and of itself.
But I definitely hear where you guys are coming from and especially if the years on the contract weren't right, I wouldn't even mess with it at that point if you think you're going to be putting him on waivers or buying him out when he's only halfway through his contract.
I really liked what the Brewers did with Fielder this year in just signing him to a one year deal just to put off the inevitable and at least make one more go at it. We also aren't capable of affording him next year so there's that too but you guys think Pujols would even CONSIDER a one year deal? Especially if the Cards fall just short this year but keep a lot of the pieces in place around him?

Police bust £20,000 cannabis farm near Ulverston
Last updated at 08:49, Tuesday, 12 February 2013
A CANNABIS farm worth £20,000 was discovered near Ulverston yesterday.
This morning police attended a rural premises in Lowick Green, near Ulverston, to execute a drug warrant.
Officers forced their way into the premises and a barn attached to the residential property, where a substantial amount of cannabis was discovered.
Sergeant Rupert Johnston said: "Our policing team successfully carried out a drugs warrant today and seized a significant quantity of cannabis which is estimated to be worth around £20,000.
"They discovered a sophisticated set up and as a result, a 48-year-old man from the Ulverston area was arrested on suspicion of supplying cannabis. He has been interviewed and placed on police bail until April 17 while enquiries continue.
"Today's discovery happened on the first day of the constabulary's 'Community Policing Week' campaign which is designed to showcase the work that goes on 24/7 by police to keep streets safe. Today's activity is an example of the work that officers do regularly to tackle drugs and target the people who operate above the street dealers.
"All communities can suffer from the impact of drugs and we know that illegal substances of all descriptions can ruin and sometimes end people's lives. We will continue to act on behalf of the community by targeting dealers and the production of drugs to prevent substances getting onto our streets."

Have your say
Another market garden gone out of business,what about the legalising of drugs
some of the so called educated are trying to
get legalised.
Canabis for your own pain relief,may be acceptable,but not for dealing to youngsters.

SEMI® Semiconductor Packaging Materials Market Research / Market Report
Semiconductor Packaging Materials Market Research
The electronics market sector is increasingly driven by consumer spending, where electronic products require more than performance and speed. Product look and feel, functionality, time to market, and cost are becoming critical factors, and packaging plays major role in delivering solutions to meet these needs.
Consumer electronics are changing how semiconductor devices are thinned, die attached, bonding wire and encapsulated, with materials playing a major role enabling the development of newer packaging technologies.
Typical Semiconductor Packaging Materials
A key business issue with a consumer electronics driven market is that semiconductor manufacturers and packaging subcontractors are experiencing severe pricing pressure from their customers. Thus, manufacturers are pushing cost reduction at a faster pace to offset erosion in semiconductor average selling prices (ASP).

[Individuals|People] have [shown|proven] [a major|a serious|a significant] inclination [towards|in the direction of|in direction of] this [art|artwork] [right|proper] from the olden days. Batik has carved [a niche|a distinct segment] for itself [in the|within the] [field|area|subject|discipline] of arts and craft. One can [easily|simply] [recognize|acknowledge] a Batik [item|merchandise] [as it|because it] has established its [own|personal] identity. This [process|course of] has been used to create [various|numerous|varied] designs and patterns on [dress|gown|costume] [materials|supplies], [home|house|residence|dwelling] furnishings etc., not [only|solely] in Indonesia, [but|however] [all around|throughout] the world. This [art|artwork] has thus [played|performed] an [important|essential|necessary|vital] [part|half] in creating designer [garments|clothes] [and decorative|and ornamental] [items|gadgets|objects] [for your|on your|in your|to your] homes. [As a result|In consequence|Consequently|Because of this] [over the years|through the years|over time] [the popularity|the recognition] of Batik and Tie and Dye has increased.
Batik has its origins in Indonesia. This [word|phrase] is derived from the Javanese [word|phrase] "amba" ([to write|to write down|to put in writing|to jot down]) and "titik"(for dot or [point|level]). This [ancient|historic|historical] [art|artwork] originated [more|extra] [precisely|exactly] [in the|within the] [famous|well-known] island of Java. The Europeans [were|have been|had been] the [first and foremost|initially|firstly|at the beginning|at first|at the start|in the beginning|before everything] to [learn|study|be taught] this art. They took it on from [here|right here] and [introduced|launched] it in [their own|their very own] countries.

The Batik [process|course of] and [techniques|methods|strategies] gained prominence when it [gradually|progressively|steadily|regularly|step by step] [spread|unfold] to [other|different] countries. [Countries|Nations|International locations] like Japan, India, China and Africa have used [their own|their very own] [style|type|fashion|model] and interpretations of this art. This resulted in Batik being [known as|generally known as|often known as|referred to as|often called] [a decorative|an ornamental] [form of|type of] art. [A lot of|Lots of|Plenty of|Loads of|Numerous|A whole lot of|A number of|A variety of|Quite a lot of] experiments have been carried out [till|until] date, [in this|on this] regard.
The Indians first realized the [importance|significance] of this [art|artwork] [form|type|kind] [once|as soon as] they visited Indonesia. [The development|The event] of Batik and Tie and Dye reached its peak in Rajashtan [wherein|whereby] [the women|the ladies] made [items|gadgets|objects] like [dress|gown|costume] [materials|supplies] (bandhani's), [bed|mattress] sheets, wall hangings in Batik and tie and dye. Of late [though|although], Batik [is also|can also be|can be] [recognized|acknowledged] [more|extra] as handicraft.
Initially Batik and Tie and Dye [were|have been|had been] [popular|well-liked|in style|fashionable|common|widespread|standard] [only|solely] as a [hobby|interest|pastime|passion] [but|however] in [recent|current|latest] [times|occasions|instances], it has gained [a status|a standing] as an [independent|unbiased|impartial] profession. [A lot of people|Lots of people] have turned it [into a|right into a] [lucrative|profitable] business. [Although|Though] [it is a|it's a] very [old|previous|outdated] [art|artwork] [form|type|kind], Batik has gained impetus [only|solely] over [the last few|the previous few|the previous couple of] years. [A number of|Numerous|A variety of|Quite a few|Various|Quite a lot of|A lot of|Plenty of] [colleges|schools|faculties] [and educational|and academic] institutes are [also|additionally] [offering|providing] [courses|programs] [in this|on this] regard.
Artists are [using|utilizing] these [techniques|methods|strategies] to translate [their own|their very own] [ideas|concepts|ideas] not [only|solely] into patterns designed for [useful|helpful] [materials|supplies], [but also|but in addition|but additionally] as an [art|artwork] [form|type|kind] [to produce|to supply|to provide] [|two]-dimensional [decorative|ornamental] wall hangings and paintings. [It is also|Additionally it is|It's also|It is usually] a craft [that is|that's] [well|properly|nicely|effectively] [within the|inside the|throughout the] capabilities of the non-specialists.
[Old|Previous|Outdated] Batik [Techniques|Methods|Strategies] and [process|course of]
Batik constitutes [the process|the method] [wherein|whereby] a line or a patch is drawn with wax on cloth. [This is|That is] [done|carried out|accomplished|completed|executed|finished|achieved|performed] [so that|in order that] the [surface|floor] [is protected from|is protected against] the color. When [it is|it's] dipped [in the|within the] dye, [the color|the colour] [does not|doesn't] penetrate [the area|the world|the realm] that has been waxed. The wax resists [the color|the colour] [therefore|subsequently|due to this fact] the [surface|floor] [is divided|is split] into dyed and un-dyed areas. [This is|That is] what makes the pattern. [Similarly|Equally] in Tie and Dye [process|course of], the [pattern|sample] is achieved, [as the|because the] dye [does not|doesn't] penetrate the tied areas of the cloth. [Here|Right here], you substitute the wax with a string to tie the cloth.
[Sometimes|Typically|Generally] [tools|instruments] [like the|just like the] tjanting (container with [a long|an extended|a protracted] slender spout) [or even a|or perhaps a] [simple|easy] brush [can be used|can be utilized] [to apply|to use] the wax.

[However|Nevertheless|Nonetheless], [the modern|the fashionable|the trendy] [techniques|methods|strategies] have [advanced|superior] and have made it [easy|straightforward|simple] for the artist, [wherein|whereby] one can use [the brush|the comb] [to apply|to use] many [colors|colours] [in one|in a single] go!
[Next|Subsequent], [the cloth|the material|the fabric] is [again|once more] [covered|coated|lined] with wax on areas that [have to|need to|should|must] retain [the first|the primary] color.

A neck x-ray is an imaging test to look at cervical vertebrae. These are the seven bones of the spine in the neck.
X-ray - neck; Cervical spine x-ray; Lateral neck x-ray
This test is done in a hospital radiology department. It may also be done in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You will lie on the x-ray table.
You will be asked to change positions so that more images can be taken. Usually two, or up to seven different images may be needed.
Tell the health care provider if you are or think you may be pregnant. Remove all jewelry.
When the x-rays are taken, there is no discomfort. If the x-rays are done to check for injury, there may be discomfort as your neck is being positioned. Care will be taken to prevent further injury.
The x-ray is used to evaluate neck injuries and numbness, pain, or weakness that does not go away. A neck x-ray can also be used to help see if air passages are blocked by swelling in the neck or something stuck in the airway.
Other tests, such as MRI , may be used to look for disk or nerve problems.
A neck x-ray can detect:
There is low radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored so that the lowest amount of radiation is used to produce the image.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of x-rays.

George W. Bush's February 17 nomination of John Negroponte to the newly created job of director of intelligence was the subject of a flurry of media coverage. But one part of Negroponte's resume was given little attention: his role in the brutal and illegal Contra war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua in the mid-1980s.
From 1981 to 1985, Negroponte was the U.S. ambassador to Honduras, a country that was being used as a training and staging ground for the CIA-created and -backed Contra armies, who relied on a terrorist strategy of targeting civilians. Those years saw a massive increase in U.S. military aid to Honduras, and Negroponte was a key player in organizing training for the Contras and procuring weapons for the armies that the United States was building in order to topple the socialist Nicaraguan government (Extra!, 9-10/01).
Negroponte's ambassadorship was marked by another human rights scandal: the Honduran army's Battalion 316, which operated as a death squad that tortured, killed or disappeared "subversive" Hondurans--and at least one U.S. citizen, Catholic priest James Carney. Despite regular reporting of such crimes in the Honduran press, the human rights reports of Negroponte's embassy consistently failed to raise these issues. Critics contend that this was no accident: If such crimes had been acknowledged, U.S. aid to the country's military would have come under scrutiny, which could have jeopardized the Contra operations.
Many reports included brief mentions of Negroponte's past. The New York Times (2/18/05), for example, noted that "critics say" that Negroponte "turned a blind eye to human rights abuses" in Honduras. But the Times (like most mainstream reports) quoted no critics on the subject; to get a sense of what Negroponte's critics actually said, you had to tune into Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now (2/18/05), where Peter Kornbluh of the National Security Archive said that Negroponte
Kornbluh added that declassified documents from those years show Negroponte had "stepped out of being U.S. ambassador and kind of put on the hat of a C.I.A. station chief in pushing for the Contras to get more arms, in lobbying and meeting with very high Honduran officials to facilitate U.S. support for the Contras and Honduran cooperation, even after the U.S. Congress terminated official support for the Contra war."
The night of Bush's announcement, network news broadcasts woefully understated or misrepresented this history. On NBC Nightly News (2/17/05), reporter Andrea Mitchell glossed over Negroponte's Honduran record: "As Ronald Reagan's ambassador to Honduras, he was accused of ignoring death squads and America's secret war against Nicaragua."
While Negroponte might be accused of ignoring Honduran death squads, no one could credibly suggest he was ignoring "America's secret war against Nicaragua." The documentary evidence, as Kornbluh explained, suggests that he was intimately involved with running it.
ABC's Good Morning America Robin Roberts turned this reality on its head (2/18/05), noting that Negroponte's "entire life has been a lesson in quiet and measured diplomacy" and that "he generated controversy long after a stint in Honduras when he denied he knew anything about the work of Contra rebel death squads."
Some reporters simply soft-pedaled the history; as CNN reporter Kitty Pilgrim put it (2/17/05), "During his four-year stint as U.S. ambassador to Honduras, he had a difficult balancing act in the battle against Communism in the neighboring Sandinista government in Nicaragua." (Sandinista Nicaragua, of course, was not Communist, but a country with a mixed economy and regular elections, one of which voted the Sandinistas out of power in 1990.) Pilgrim's CNN colleague, Paula Zahn (2/17/05), complained that "the critics are already out there sniping at him."
Fox News reporter Carl Cameron (2/17/05) noted that "the only partisan criticism noted Negroponte's role as U.S. ambassador to Honduras in the '80s, when he played a key role in the Reagan administration's covert disruption of Communism in the Nicaragua." In this case, "covert disruption" stands in as a euphemism for a bloody guerrilla war that took the lives of thousands of civilians. Cameron went on to note that the "partisan" remarks "came from a member of the House, which has no vote on his nomination."
NPR reporter Mary Louise Kelly made similar observations (2/17/05), noting that previous confirmation hearings generated "a lot of questions about the role he played during the early '80s when he was the ambassador to Honduras." Kelly seemed aware of this history, but thought it a settled matter: "He has already dealt with those issues and obviously answered them satisfactorily-- he was confirmed for that job at the United Nations."
Some pundits were remarkably lenient in the standards by which Negroponte should be judged. Fox News Channel commentator Charles Krauthammer explained (2/17/05) that "he was the ambassador in Honduras during the Contra war. So he clearly knows how to deal with clandestine operations. That was a pretty clandestine one for several years. And he didn't end up in jail, which is a pretty good attribute for him. A lot of others practically did."
In general, right-wing pundits and commentators were much more likely than mainstream news reporters to cite Negroponte's shady past-- as proof that he is the right man for the job. On CNBC (2/17/05), Tony Blankley happily summarized Negroponte's human rights record:
After James Warren of the Chicago Tribune disagreed (calling the Contra war an "at times slimy operation"), Blankley offered a blunt response-- "Well, we won"-- which host Lawrence Kudlow endorsed: "We did win. Thank you, Tony. I was just going to say, you know, the forces of freedom triumphed with a little bit of help from the right country."
Fox News Channel's Fred Barnes took the same line (2/19/05):
By way of balance, Fox pundit and NPR correspondent Juan Williams noted that while he didn't "have any love for Marxists," it was important to note "what death squads do to people, and you understand that nuns were involved, Fred, then you think--wait a second--excess is not to be tolerated in the name of democracy."
Barnes' response: "Well, now that we have democracy, there are no death squads."

When you buy a vacuum cleaner you get wands that can be attached to the hose. These wands and the accessories attached to them enable you to poke into areas where the vacuum cannot go. There are times when the suction of the vacuum can cause the wand to become stuck on the hose. Here we look at the ways to remove a wand that is stuck on the vacuum cleaner hose.
The wand is stuck on my vacuum cleaner- How to take it out.
•Hold the end of the telescoping wand where it is attached to the hose. Press the release button with one hand.
•Now twist the end of the wand clockwise and then counter-clockwise. All this time the release button should be depressed.
•Pull the wand off the hose while twisting it. Release the button only when the wand is free of the hose.
•Another way is to lubricate the wand. Hold the hose in such a way that the wand is facing down.
•Spray a good burst of lubricating spray around the seam where the hose meets the wand.
•Hold the hose in the same position for a couple of minutes before twisting the end of the wand clockwise with one hand while turning the end of the hose anti-clockwise with the other hand. Continue twisting until the wand comes free of the hose.

As for the boob thing, not discounting the somewhat disturbing fascination in tween tits (and the awful memories of that Newgrounds thing), placing a pair of boobs on a combat robot makes no sense. Cleavage creates a weak point that basically says, "Attack me here." Why design in such a fatal flaw?
