[Intro: Bon Iver]
I shoot the lights out
Hide 'til it's bright out
Oh just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
[Intro Verse: Rick Ross]
Bitch, I'm a monster, no-good blood-sucker
Fat motherfucker, now look who's in trouble
As you run through my jungles all you hear is rumbles
Kanye West samples, here's one for example
According to the book HitMen, (a book Jay Z claims to have read) you learn monster is a term used to describe an incredibly successful hit. Kanye was clearly aiming for that here.
The official music video, released on June 4th, 2011, raised controversy for its depiction of raw horror and misogyny.

Tatar is speaking about his frustrations in his latest interview
Google translate:
"In February and March I was in the first team in Detroit played eighteen matches. I am convinced that I have it, so I got on a regular basis in the NHL. Well I had to go back to Grand Rapids. It's disappointing, "admitted Tatar.
"I grabbed the chance, I did well. I had the great pleasure of hockey, "said the native of Dubnice five weeks in the NHL. In the eighteen matches scoring four goals and three assists. Detroit maintained a progressive place to play off.
"I am convinced that weighed up my two-way contract," explained why in March ended in the NHL.
"To not have to move to Grand Rapids player with one-way contract, which would then have to pay the full amount at the farm, showed me. It's business. "
"I want to play for Detroit, which has overall pick, but if they will not want me, then for any other club," added advised of this season.
"I'm not going to farm it. And when in my contract expires in 2014, for a further period will sign only a one-way contract. "

text: Since the recent election, I have heard some Republicans saying that the party needs to "dump the Christians". They think that if the Republican Party is free to go pro-abortion and support gay marriage that they can win elections and implement a conservative agenda. Now forget that more than half of Republicans are Christians, there is another reason that the Republican Party cannot survive without the Christians. The Christian ethic is the foundation of conservatism. Without Christian morality the Republican Party would soon be indistinguishable from the Democrat Party.

DJ Wells wanted the Durango Demons to have a quiet bus ride Friday night.
They probably did.
Grand Junction�s Wells had a double-double and five blocks as the Tigers defeated the Durango High School boys basketball team 57-38 in Grand Junction.
�Shut �em up for the rest of the season,� Wells said on Grand Junction�s KUBC 580 AM postgame radio show.
The game looked to be another of the Demons� signature defensive struggles; they trailed 7-4 to end the first quarter, but foul trouble, poor shooting and some key turnovers broke the game open after that.
�I mean, it was just a physical game,� DHS head coach Alan Batiste said. �We came out a little timid, but we knew it was going to get physical.
�They were physical on defense, and we were kind of timid,� he said.
That affected the Demons� offense, which has struggled to score points all season, foremost. The Demons shot just 31 percent from the floor Friday.
The Demons did shoot 10 of 12 from the free-throw line to add some points, but even that wasn�t all positive.
�So you take away those points, and we only have 28 points,� Batiste said.
Dane Mestas led the Demons with seven points, but Batiste said he also had an all-around �excellent� game.
�We�ve just got to find a way to start getting that ball in the hole,� he said.
Batiste called the Tigers the �most talented team we�ve played so far offensively.�
DHS (9-3, 2-1 SWL) will play Montrose at 1:30 p.m. today in another Southwestern League road game.

The script for "A Nightmare on George Rogers Boulevard" might go something like this:
South Carolina cannot get enough pressure on Aaron Murray. The crafty Georgia quarterback carves the Gamecocks during a Bulldogs' victory in Athens. ESPN immediately cuts to the Laguna Beach Draft Preparation Lab, where Jadeveon Clowney is jogging in Pacific Ocean surf.
In reality, there is zero evidence the Clowney camp has considered sitting out the 2013 season (and not much evidence that Clowney actually has a camp).
"I'm playing lol," Clowney said via Twitter.
For the Gamecocks, he means.
It's the hottest debate of a cold college football winter: Should Clowney save his health for the 2014 draft, sue his way into the 2013 draft or none of the above?
Steve Spurrier and Marcus Lattimore have weighed in.
The Head Ball Coach predicts Clowney won't quit on his team.
Asked about Clowney, Lattimore said he doesn't regret playing at South Carolina as a junior, wrecked knee and all.
Todd McShay, who says Clowney would be the No. 1 pick if eligible for the 2013 draft, has played the "Should Clowney sit out?" game with fellow ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr.
It's a silly season, but a serious issue.
Paradox garnet
Clowney, a 6-6, 256-pound defensive end from Rock Hill, projects as more of the same this fall: a ferocious pass rusher good enough to compete for the Heisman Trophy and change the outcome of games.
Or, he can change the way major college football programs compensate players.
If Clowney skips his junior year to protect his body and financial interests going into the 2014 NFL draft, college football — led by the Southeastern Conference — will have some kind of stipend system in place quicker than a Tuscaloosa to Baton Rouge charter flight in nice weather.
Clowney is at once college football's most reliable in-game force and uniquely positioned to expose a potentially game-changing flaw. He is already ready for the NFL, but confined to college football by rules that require three years of post-high school seasoning.
Baseball players can sign pro contracts right out of high school.
Basketball players can bolt after a "one and done" college experience (that should be two and done or none at all).
Clowney is man, myth and money machine for Gamecocks, Inc., a subsidiary of a college football biz in which adults make money and NFL-bound stars get a free education they might use.
Spurrier, dressed here in paradox garnet, has advocated paying players "for the billions they're bringing (into college football)."
Counselor's advice
Logic says Clowney shouldn't play for South Carolina this season.
Common sense says he will.
Clowney certainly makes college football more fun and interesting — can't wait to see all the new-fangled blocking schemes this fall.
But imagine Clowney meeting with a career counselor at South Carolina. Once the ambitious young man explains that a $25 million job offer is guaranteed as long as he makes it 14 more months without getting hurt, it's hard to see Mrs. Counselor saying, "You know, Jadeveon, what you'll probably want to do in the meantime is engage in a series of extremely violent collisions with some really big and fast guys from Tennessee and Florida while avoiding those nasty double-team blocks that almost cut short your season last year."
Laguna Beach beckons.
Or at least Clowney, while sacking more college quarterbacks, can serve as a warning shot across the bow of a fragile amateur concept.

The San Francisco Giants looked all but finished facing a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-five series against what was considered to be one of the National League's best – the Cincinnati Reds in the division series. Now they are World Series champions for the second time in three years.
The Giants were able to sweep the powerhouse Detroit Tigers out of the Motor City, including Triple Crown winner (an individual who leads his league in home runs, batting average and runs batted in) Miguel Cabrera in just four games. Cabrera, the first Triple Crown winner in 45 years, was virtually nonexistent throughout the series thanks to almost perfect pitching and outstanding defense by the Giants. The Giants held the Tigers and Cabrera to only six runs in the series and also had two shutouts to a team that was only shut out twice during the entire regular season.
One of the reasons for San Francisco's dominating defense was rookie shortstop Brandon Crawford, who played excellent in between second and third base. The MVP of the series was Pablo Sandoval, who hit three home runs in his first three at bats against Justin Verlander, the Tiger's ace who had established himself as the greatest pitcher in the league. Verlander only got one start in the World Series and had a very subpar performance, allowing five runs and leaving the game in the fourth inning of Game One. On the other hand, the Giants starting pitching was almost unhittable, with the combination of Barry Zito, Ryan Vogelsong, Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain, who clinched the series for the Giants. The Giants' starting pitchers only gave up four runs throughout the series. The Giants bullpen was also magnificent, with former Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum pitching in relief, and closer Sergio Romo filling in for the injured Brian Wilson.
The big bats for the Detroit Tigers – Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder – did not show up when the games counted the most. Fielder, who had an especially lackluster performance, was only able to hit an extremely low .071 batting average, the lowest he had in any series this postseason. The Giants won seven straight games to close out the playoffs, starting with a 3-1 deficit facing the previous World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. The Tigers had the table turned on them, being swept by the Giants just after they swept the New York Yankees in the American League Conference finals.
The Giants, who manufactured runs all series, were the beneficiaries of an extra-inning win to clinch the championship bringing the pennant back to San Francisco.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Bill O'Brien quickly dismissed the history lesson.
When asked if he's addressed that the Nittany Lions are riding a 29-game win streak in the series with Temple, O'Brien immediately switched to the present.
"At no point in time do I ever address winning streaks," he said Tuesday. "That has nothing to do with this game. I don't know what they were like in 1940 [Temple last won in 1941], but in 2012, this is an excellent Temple team with a bunch of good players."
O'Brien noted that Temple, which led much of the way in a 14-10 loss to PSU last year, has upgraded its talent in recent years.
"It started when Al Golden went there, and Steve Addazio has done a great job of keeping it going," O'Brien said. "This is a good football team. These guys had, what five or six guys off last year's team drafted [actually three]? Looks like they got a bunch of draft picks on this football team right now. So I don't know about series or win streaks or anything. All I know is that this is going to be a very, very tough football game on Saturday."
O'Brien knows Penn State will get Temple's best shot, but he believes the Lions will match the Owls' intensity. This is one instance where not being eligible for a bowl game may help PSU's focus.
"We only have 12 games this year, so every game for us is a very, very vital football game," O'Brien said. "I mean, we're playing in front of 100,000 people here at Penn State. I would assume our players will come out with a lot of intensity. We've only got two more months to play. So I'm glad it's their Super Bowl, but this is a big game for us, like every single game this year."
PSU center Matt Stankiewitch said he played with or against many of the Owls in high school (Blue Mountain) and, "all the way back to Pee Wee and Big 33."
"They always come with an intensity," he said. "It's an in-state rivalry. They'll come with a lot of intensity and so will we."
Since the Lions got their first win of the season last week against Navy, and they'll open the Big Ten next week at Illinois, some may see this as the proverbial trap game. Stankiewitch doesn't.
"Coach O'Brien never lets us relax," he said. "He keeps our minds on the bigger picture."
For Penn State, that means getting to the .500 and taking momentum into conference play.
"We want a winning record, not just for us but for the future of the program," fullback Michael Zordich said.
Saturday's game will mark Penn State's "blue out," as a statement against child abuse in the wake of the Sandusky scandal.
"From the day I arrived here, I felt like it was so important to be involved in the community, like Penn State football has been in the past, and especially as it relates to putting an end to child abuse," O'Brien said. "I believe it's going to be a great day for the Penn State community. I think it's going to be a very, very tough football game, but I believe there will be another great crowd."

2012 SCE FCU Annual Report
The Right Tools Make a Difference
We're passionate about providing members with surprisingly good service and the appropriate products and services to meet their specific needs. In 2012, our financial "tool box" expanded to include:
More detailed information about the full line of products and services available to members can be found in the pages that follow.
Report of the Chairman & CEO
Your Credit Union had another successful year in 2012. For-profit corporations like large US banks base their success strictly on how much profit the bank generates. For SCE FCU, our main driver of success is defined by how our members utilize us and what they say about their experiences with us. In other words, providing the highest level of service at the best possible cost is our primary objective. A big part of providing the type and level of service our members need is simply to ask them. For the last two years we've sent out both paper and electronic surveys to thousands of members asking them to tell us what they want and expect from their Credit Union. But asking is not enough. We put together strategic response teams comprised of management staff, as well as many other key employees, that regularly meet to discuss the findings of the surveys and make changes as needed. We can't promise to honor every request, but we do promise to listen to you and make every effort to make your experience with SCE FCU as rewarding as possible.
"If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful."
~ Jeff Bezos, CEO Amazon.com
Success must also be defined by our ability to be strategically oriented and financially sound enough to have the vision and resources needed to research, develop, anticipate, and implement new products and services that meet the ever changing financial services needs of our members. From the financial perspective, your Credit Union – even during the continued economic challenges facing our country – satisfied all the regulatory requirements, ensured the Credit Union is safe and secure for our members, and generated enough income to be able to put a number of new products and services in place – as well as looked at the long-term horizon to anticipate member needs in the future.
"Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it."
- Peter Drucker
Finally, the definition of success must also include answering the question of how well we did at helping the communities we serve and being a good and conscientious corporate citizen. SCE FCU, through its corporate outreach activities and our non-profit Foundation, is committed to helping our youth be prepared to handle their finances once they go out into the real world. To that end – we provided $14,000 in scholarships, and 125 financial literacy workshops to help educate more than 3,600 high school students and community residents. We gave donations to other local non-profits also working to better the communities we all serve. Please read more about our non-profit partner, the SCE FCU Foundation, later in the report.
In the end, SCE FCU is only as good as the value we bring to our member-owners. More than 70% of you tell us you are very satisfied with the service, product mix, and pricing, but we will continue to ask. We don't want to rely only on the surveys we send out. Here are the direct extensions of our Senior Management team. You are welcome to call any team member at any time.
Dennis Huber, President/CEO, x2254
George Poitou, Chief Operating Officer, x2371
Dan Rader, Chief Financial Officer, x2291
Irene Sarber, Chief Planning & Development Officer, x2320
We hope you enjoy the credit union difference – and in particular, the member experience at SCE FCU.

DENVER � Mitt Romney says he�s the man who can finally change Washington.
Romney made his first Colorado appearance since early August on Sunday night at a school on the border of Denver and Jefferson County.
He says Barack Obama has admitted he can�t change Washington from the inside, and that it can only be changed from the outside. Romney urged the crowd to give the president the chance to be outside Washington again after Nov. 6.
Romney appeared before an enthusiastic crowd after a rough two weeks during which he was criticized for his comments on violence in the Middle East and a secret recording in which he appeared to dismiss capturing the votes of the 47 percent of people who don�t pay income taxes.
He is scheduled to be in Pueblo this morning.
Also Sunday, President Barack Obama, defended his foreign policy record at a time of anti-American rage in the Muslim world. He fired back at suggestions from Republican Mitt Romney that the president has been weak with allies and enemies alike.
In an interview airing the night before, Obama met with other world leaders at the United Nations. The president said, �If Gov. Romney is suggesting that we should start another war, he should say so.�
It was Obama�s most direct rebuttal yet to persistent skepticism by his White House rival on his handling of an unraveling situation in the Middle East. Romney has charged the U.S. stance has been marred by miscalculations, mixed messages and appeasement.
The foreign-policy arguments come as both candidates sharpen their strategy just six weeks ahead of Election Day. Speaking to reporters on a flight to Colorado Sunday night, Romney acknowledged he was slipping behind Obama in several swing states and said he would spend more time with voters in the coming weeks.
�I think the fundraising season is probably a little quieter going forward,� he said following a weekend largely devoted to raising money in California.
Facing Republican fears that his campaign is moving in the wrong direction, Romney huddled earlier in the day with his top advisers, preparing for next month�s debates and crafting a more aggressive strategy.
�I don�t pay a lot of attention to the day-to-day polls. They change a great deal,� Romney said. �And I know that in the coming six weeks they�re very unlikely to stay where they are today.�
Obama is launching a new campaign offensive today with his first television advertisement targeting Romney�s comments about Americans who don�t pay income taxes. The ad, which was to start running in swing state Ohio, argues that Romney should stop attacking others on taxes and �come clean� on his own.
The ad uses Romney�s comments to wealthy donors that 47 percent of Americans don�t pay income taxes, believe they are victims and feel entitled to government assistance. It shows Romney saying, �My job is not to worry about those people.�
The 30-second spot signals that Obama will keep making the wealthy Romney�s taxes a campaign issue even after the Republican released a second year of information about his personal finances on Friday.
Romney and Obama both discussed foreign policy in interviews broadcast Sunday on CBS� �60 Minutes.�
Romney, who has criticized Obama�s response to unrest in Syria and anti-American protests across the Muslim world, broadened his reproach to include Israel. He said Obama�s failure to schedule a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the annual U.N. gathering this week �sends a message throughout the Middle East that somehow we distance ourselves from our friends.�
The White House has said scheduling precluded a meeting between the two leaders, who won�t be in New York at the same time. But Obama pushed back on the notion that he feels pressure from Netanyahu, dismissing as noise the Israeli leader�s calls for the U.S. to lay out a �red line� that Iran�s nuclear program mustn�t cross to avoid American military intervention.
�When it comes to our national security decisions, any pressure that I feel is simply to do what�s right for the American people,� Obama said. �And I am going to block out any noise that�s out there.�
In a wide-ranging interview conducted the day after U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed in an attack on Benghazi, Obama defended his foreign policy successes, noting he�d followed through on a commitment to end the war in Iraq and had nabbed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
He also waxed optimistic that winning a second term would give him a mandate to overcome obstructionism from congressional Republicans whose No. 1 goal, he said, has been to prevent his re-election.
�My expectation is, my hope is that that�s no longer their number one priority,� Obama said. �I�m hoping that after the smoke clears and the election season�s over that that spirit of cooperation comes more to the fore.�
Romney, in an interview conducted last week, sought to deflect attention from his running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, over their differences in Medicare policy: �I�m the guy running for president, not him.�
While reaffirming his commitment to lowering all income tax rates by 20 percent, Romney expressed no unease about his refusal to offer specifics, such as which loopholes and deductions he�d eliminate to pay for the cuts.
�The devil�s in the details. The angel is in the policy, which is creating more jobs,� Romney said, adding that he doesn�t want to see overall government revenue reduced.

Penn State ex-President Spanier gets US travel OK
Spanier will not be allowed to travel outside of country
A judge is allowing former Penn State President Graham Spanier to travel outside state lines but won't permit any foreign trips.
Spanier lawyer Ed Spreha says he was notified of the order Monday. It requires Spanier to provide five days' notice of any travel outside Pennsylvania.
Spanier is facing charges that include obstruction and perjury for allegedly covering up complaints in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Spanier was also ordered not to have any contact with current or past members of the Penn State Board of Trustees, or with any witnesses in the case against him.
Spanier wanted permission to travel to Europe for work and family matters.

Landing Page Optimization
Landing Page Optimization can make the difference between the success and the failure of PPC campaign. We find that most landing pages convert less than 5% of their traffic into actual clients or prospects. That has been acceptable since traffic did not cost as much. But with rising PPC costs, there is a lot more focus on conversion rate. One of the approaches we followed is creating optimized landing pages is starting with creating customer personas which the copy and the design of the page will cater to. At the end, we do see landing pages with conversion rates between 10 to 15%.

Love Your Hair Again!
This is the best product by far! I love this! Thank you so very much for having a product like this. I have female pattern baldness in the front of my head in a big circle about 4 inches in diameter. Although I am not completely bald, the thinning is very visible. I have not been able to part my hair or do much of anything other than pull it straight back in a pony tail to hide the baldness. Now with Folica, I have cut my hair short! It provides complete coverage along with a hair spray effect. It does not clot-up on your scalp like other products. IT MAKES YOUR HAIR FULLER! I spray it on the thinning parts to cover up and then give myself a quick all over spray for fullness. What is absolutely great about this product is that you can brush your hair afterwards, run your fingers through your hair, etc., and it does not come off on your hands. It will literally stay in your hair for days until you shampoo your hair. ALERT: If you color your hair, you will have to wash your hair first before you color. Don't forget like I did. The hair color will melt the microfibers and put a scare into you when you begin to shampoo the color out, but it will wash out safely without any damage to your hair. This product has made me feel so confident. Being short I was always insecure that everyone could see my bald spot.

Extremely Pleased
I've used quite a few products that have the same purpose, but I must say that I am extremely pleased with the results from TC. It is one of the best I've used. The most important thing for me is that when dry it is very manageable on the hair, and it will not come off and stain your hands, brushes, and end up under your fingernails as you try to fix your hair. It also requires less regular hairspray to restore shine than other products, reducing by far the already stiff hair. Other products seem to use too much propellant in their cans, that occasionally leave a dominant grey residue and extra stiffness. TC seems not to suffer from this typical issue, very well balanced. Another important feature is the consistent flow of spray that gives you complete control of application- no mess and powder all over the place and no accidental over spraying. It does by the way, easily come off when shampoo is applied to the hair in the shower. I think I'll stick to this one.

Awful Stuff
I used proTHIK for a long time and was satisfied with the results. Since it has been OUT OF STOCK forever, I tried TC. It's like painting your head. Plus I have brown hair and the brown I was sent comes out Black. I used it one time and threw the rest of it in the garbage.

Excellent Product For Thinning Hair!
I've been using this for six months now and am very, very pleased. Unlike other products TC isn't powdery and won't leave a layer of colored dust all over your sink! It sprays on cleanly. It's important for you to realize that this product is recommended for, and works best on, THINNING hair, or balding spots which are able to be easily and convincingly combed over with other hair. It isn't meant to be used to cover a completely bald spot without hair any to cover it. Doing so will simply look like you've spray painted your head! I've a large thinning spot on the upper back part of my head along with a bit of a receding hairline. How do I use it? I wash my hair, blow dry it completely dry (sometimes I'll blow dry half way and then apply a spray volumizer and then finish blow drying). Then, brush the hair away from the thinning spot and using a hand-held mirror to see the back of my head I use a gentle sweeping motion about 4 inches away from my head and spraying it onto the thinning spot. Other reviewers have noted that it makes your hair stick together which is true, but what they fail to realize is that this isn't just a concealer it's also a hairspray and is meant to keep your hair in place. But I discovered the best way to overcome this stiffness so that you can brush and style your hair - use a blow dryer and a slightly moist comb. Gently work the comb through the hair while blow-drying. Once you've gotten the comb through the hair you won't have to repeat it. It's true that there is a bit of a sheen to the product, but it's only noticeable on spots where there is no hair or in areas where you've sprayed it too heavily. The reviewers who say that "it comes out" are completely 100% wrong! They're either reviewing the wrong product or weren't using TC. This stuff absolutely does NOT come out except when using shampoo and water. I haven't swam with it applied, but I have been caught out in the rain a few times whilst wearing it and it didn't cause a single problem. However, if you've sprayed it on too heavily then there will be a couple of problems: (1) if your head sweats a lot the product will make the area with the spray become sticky, but then again any hair product with hairspray will do that; (2) if you move around a lot when you sleep then a teensy bit will rub off onto your pillow, but throw it into the wash and it comes right off. (or you could simply use a small towel on your pillow like I do) When used properly one can will last four to five weeks with daily use. BTW - the #4 color which is silver gray works great for ladies if you want to frost your hair or for us guys to get graying temples for a distinguished look!

*** Better Than Prothik ***
I used another top coverage spray, ProThik, for years but the canister kept clogging up halfway through through the can leaving me with 1/2 a can of useless product. I started to use this and found that it works as good, with less spray and does not clump and make the hair as 'sticky' as the ProThik. Would encourage you to try it versus the alternative ProThik.

Did Not Like At All!!
It was very thick and dry when I sprayed it in my hair. I could not comb through very well because it made my hair stick together. I would not recommend this product. Jerome russel or prothick is much better.

It Works But It's Not The Best
I have baldness near my temples and above my ears. Im a female, African-American, and my baldness was caused by a skin condition during childhood that went untreated. This spray does work, but it really causes the hair around your bald spot to become stiff and stuck, so if you change your mind about your hairstyle after using the spray, you may have to re-wash your hair and start over, as opposed to just re-brushing or re-flat ironing your hair. So not convenient, esp. for a woman with my hair texture. Also, be careful when you wash this stuff out because it could pull your hair. (Like you really need that when youre already balding.)As for the look, this stuff usually either looked powdery or like paint depending on how much was applied. I cant say it ever looked natural. I used as directed, but I still ended with stained fingernails and sometimes a stained face (not good after spending 3-10 minutes on my makeup). Bottom line, this spray isnt the best you can do. It might be cheap, but not very effective. Im going with Dermatch for my next baldness concealer purchase.

Whipping up a set of decorator quality beaded coasters is a snap with this pattern that includes over 25 high resolution photos, a peyote graph diagram and easy to follow step by step directions. These stunning personalized coasters add an elegant touch to any home decor by just customizing the colors to match! They also make thoughtful and impressive housewarming and hostess gifts and holiday and birthday presents that your friends and family will cherish forever!
Great for hot drinks. Due to the beaded texture, these coasters are water permeable, therefore I would not recommend them to be used for any drinks that "sweat" (condensate), unless you attach a liner or backing to one side of the coaster making it leak proof. In this pattern, I show you how to make the beaded coaster only (there are several ways a backing can be attached and I leave that up to your personal preference). Happy beading!

Three people have been arrested after federal investigators said they were part of a plot to kill an Isle of Palms real-estate agent and state lottery official for money.
The target was Nancy Latham, according to an affidavit filed in federal court Monday by an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The affidavit gave no indication why Latham was targeted, and an ATF agent said the agency does not comment on pending cases.
Latham, of Mount Pleasant, is an agent for Beachside Real Estate and treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission.
When reached Wednesday night, Latham said she had been advised by the U.S. Attorney's Office not to talk about the case.
A spokesman for the office was not able to provide any more information.
The plot was exposed Friday when Charleston police pulled over Aaron Russell Wilkinson, 39, of Louisville, Ky., in a traffic stop. Police found a revolver and a box of ammunition in the car and arrested Wilkinson for driving with a suspended driver's license, according to court documents.
The affidavit outlined what happened:
Wilkinson told police he was in Charleston because he was involved in a plot to kill a local woman for money. He said he didn't actually intend to kill the woman but was trying to appease the man who recruited him to help him kill her. Police called in ATF to investigate.
Wilkinson said a former cellmate, Samuel Arthur Yenawine, 38, of Louisville, approached him March 31 and asked him to drive with him to Nashville to pick up about 2 kilograms of cocaine. They took off in a Volkswagen Passat that Yenawine's girlfriend rented. While they were driving, Yenawine announced that they were going to South Carolina instead to kill a witness in a racketeering case, a story that later turned out not to be true.
They arrived April 1 at the North Charleston Econolodge on Saul White Boulevard and met up with Yenawine's ex-wife, Wendy Annette Moore, 37. Wilkinson said he waited in the car while Moore gave Yenawine $5,000 and a bottle of Loritab and Valium, supposedly to make the death look like an accident.
Wilkinson said he would get $5,000 for his role in the plot and Yenawine would get $20,000 to $30,000. The affidavit did not say where the money was coming from.
Yenawine gave Wilkinson $4,000 to deposit in his wife's bank account in Kentucky, with the understanding that Yenawine's girlfriend would go with Wilkinson's wife to a bank and withdraw it. Wilkinson made the deposit at the Walmart at Tanger Outlets.
The pair then met Moore outside a house on Sullivan's Island, where she handed Yenawine a manila envelope. The envelope turned out to contain photos of Latham and her house and vehicles, and her schedules. Wilkinson said he then learned that Latham was the target.
Yenawine called his girlfriend because he was concerned that she would withdraw the $4,000 and spend it on drugs, Wilkinson told agents. They decided that night to drive back to Kentucky.
Wilkinson said he was afraid of Yenawine and offered to drive back to Charleston and carry out the hit himself. He and his wife left Kentucky on April 2 and arrived in Charleston on April 3, driving the same VW Passat as before. The couple rented a room at the Days Inn on West Montague Avenue in North Charleston and tried to come up with a plan. Wilkinson said he had no intention of killing anybody, but was afraid of Yenawine.
It all came to an end when he was arrested Friday for driving under suspension.
Wilkinson and Moore were booked into the Charleston County jail, and Yenawine was booked into the Oldham County Jail in Kentucky.
All three were to be charged with conspiracy and travel in interstate commerce with the intent to commit murder and aiding and abetting.
Wilkinson and Yenawine also were to be charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.
Latham is well-known in the community.
She is a wildlife artist and a member of Trident United Way's Palmetto Society, fundraising chairwoman of Wando Theatre Boosters, and a supporter of the Spoleto Festival USA and Trident Technical College Foundation, according to her biography on the lottery commission's website.

Nancy Latham, shown here with her husband Chris Latham in this April 2010 file photo, is a real estate agent and treasurer of the S.C. Education Lottery Commission.×

Softball Opens Perry Era With Pair Of Wins
SAN MARCOS, Texas - - The Ball State softball team opened the 2014 season with an impressive offensive display, racking up 19 total runs Saturday afternoon during the first day of the CenturyLink Classic hosted by Texas State.
The Cardinals opened the tournament with a 7-2 victory over the host Bobcats, blasting three home runs in the game. Ball State followed with a 12-2, five-inning win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi which was capped by a three-run, walk-off blast from senior pinch hitter/first baseman Lauren Schroeder (Greenfield, Ind./New Palestine) to secure the run rule.
In her Ball State softball coaching debut, Tyra Perry saw the Cardinals rack up 22 total hits over the two games, including four doubles and four home runs.
"Today was fun," Perry said. "It's refreshing to see our team play with so much passion for each other. We knew they had that passion, but seeing it in action is special. The way we strung together hits, the way the defense fed off each other and how the players backed each other up is important. It's going to be our x-factor as we go through the season."
With the score of the opening game tied at 1-1 in the top of the fifth, senior outfielder Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas/McKinney) sparked the Ball State offensive barrage with her first home run of the season. The two-run blast was also the 57th of her illustrious career, which tied her for the Mid-American Conference career lead.
Gilbert was one of three starters to finish the day hitting above .500, while 10 different Cardinals recorded at least one hit. Junior right fielder Loren Cihlar (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) led Ball State at the plate, going 5-for-7 (.714) with a double, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored.
Gilbert finished the day 4-for-8 with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored. Senior first baseman Taylor Rager (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) concluded the day 2-for-4 (.500) with a double, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored.
Ball State's sophomore pitching duo of Nicole Steinbach (Merrillville, Ind./Andrean) and Kelsey Schifferdecker (Belton, Mo./Belton) also turned in a solid effort, combining to allow just four runs over 12 innings, while striking out seven combined batters, as each picked up complete game victories.
Sophomore shortstop Selena Reyna (Houston, Texas/South Houston) led the Ball State defense by helping account for 10 outs, with four putouts and six assists.
The Ball State softball team closes play in the CenturyLink Classic Sunday morning with games versus Southern Illinois (10 a.m. ET/9 a.m. CT) and Stephen F. Austin (Noon ET/11 a.m. CT).
GAME 1 RECAP: Ball State 7 – Texas State 2
The host Bobcats opened the scoring in the top of the first inning, as an RBI single from Kendall Wiley drove in leadoff hitter Kelli Baker who also singled to open the frame.
The score remained 1-0 until the top of the fourth, when the Cardinals pushed across their first run. Gilbert opened the frame by slicing a single through the right side, before advancing to second on a wild pitch. Rager followed with a single to almost the exact same spot to drive in Gilbert from second.
Ball State extended its lead to 6-1 in the top of the fifth inning, with five two-out runs. Cihlar started the rally with a one-out bunt single, before Gilbert blasted her record-tying home run two batters later. After a walk to Rager, senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) smashed a RBI double to center field, bringing home the third run of the inning. Ball State's final two runs came from a two-run blast off the bat of junior designated player Hanne Stuedemann (Mattawan, Mich./Mattawan).
Texas State would get one run back in the bottom of the frame, as a triple from Baker drove in Jordan Masek who drew a one-out walk.
Ball State's final run of the game came courtesy of sophomore second baseman Emily Dabkowski (Plainfield, Ind./South Putnam), who launched her first career home run to right center field to open the seventh inning.
In the circle, Steinbach picked up the complete game victory, limiting the Bobcats to two runs and nine hits over seven innings of work. She would strikeout three batters, while issuing just two walks.
Kaylee Garner suffered the loss for Texas State, surrendering six runs off seven hits over 4.2 innings.
GAME 2: Ball State 12 – Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 2
The Cardinals scored early and often in the second game, posting seven runs in the first two innings on their way to a 12-2 win over the Islanders.
Cihlar opened the bottom half of the first with a walk, and after a Dabkowski sacrifice bunt, came around to score on a Gilbert RBI single. Rager followed with a RBI double to bring home Gilbert, while a RBI single from Bickel pushed across the third and final run of the frame.
Sophomore center fielder Briana Evans (Tulsa, Okla./Union) singled to open the second inning and would cross the plate courtesy of a RBI double from Cihlar who was thrown out at third trying to stretch it into a triple. Walks to Dabkowski and Rager would give Ball State two runners on base, while an Islanders error on a Bickel grounder loaded the bases. A walk to Stuedemann pushed across the Cardinals second run, while another fielding error by the A&M-CC shortstop allowed two more runs to score.
The Islanders scored their only runs of the game in the top of the third, on a RBI double from Dani Tefft and a RBI groundout from Jamise Jackson.
Ball State countered by reclaiming the seven-run edge in the bottom of the frame. Evans once again led off the inning with a single, while a wild pitch and another hustle single from Cihlar moved her to third. Dabkowski would bring Evans home with a single to center. BSU's second run crossed the plate thanks to another Islanders error.
After a scoreless fourth, which saw sophomore Sammi Cowger (Fenton, Mich./Fenton) open the inning with a pinch hit double, the Cardinals tacked on their final three runs in the bottom of the fifth. Cihlar opened the inning with another bunt single, but was later putout on a fielder's choice by Dabkowski. Gilbert would follow with a single up the middle putting runners at first and second.
Looking to put a little more speed on second, freshman Taylor Cooley (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea) came in to pinch run for Dabkowski. The speed was not needed, however, as Schroeder blasted a game-ending three-run homer deep over the center field wall.
Schifferdecker picked up the win in the circle for Ball State, allowing just two runs and seven hits over five innings of work. She struck out four batters while not issuing a walk.
Liz Carter suffered the loss for A&M-CC, allowing 10 runs (six earned) and 12 hits over 4.0 innings of work.

Driving on any racing circuit is as much about being mentally prepared as it is one's skill on the track. Episode 4 of Driven to Drift followed the Scion Racing team to Wall Speedway for Round 4 of Formula Drift where Ken Gushi, Fredric Aasbo, and Tony Angelo gave us some insight into the different ways they get the focus they need for the race.
For Ken and the GReddy Racing team, scouting the competition combined with a healthy dose of mid-drift head games seems to get the job done. Fredric Aasbo and the Papadakis Racing team, on the other hand, get the most out of the Need for Speed Scion tC by throwing caution to the wind and taking the best drivers head on. Meanwhile, for Tony Angelo and his team, it's simply a matter of knowing that their car is prepared the best it possibly can be.
Although the weekend at Wall Speedway came to a premature end for all three drivers, Round 4 gave each of them some valuable information about where they need to be for the last three rounds of the Formula Drift season.

HANOVERTON- A retired Navy officer spoke of the commitment and sacrifice of service men and women during United High School's annual Veterans Day Assembly Friday morning.
Sharing his personal experiences in service, retired Lt. Cmdr. Dan Eddinger, a 1990 graduate of United Local, also encouraged students to demonstrate the same qualities in their community.
Starting with an officer assignment in the Submarine Force, Eddinger's career spanned 20 years, three oceans, three continents, 14 countries and a bachelor's and a master's degree- and required much sacrifice, hard work and dedication, he said.
"[Serving my country] was a privilege and unbelievable experience...one that came at great sacrifice," he explained. "Service means a commitment to something bigger than yourself...something so great you're willing to give your life for it."
Eddinger told the students to look to veterans as examples of how to live their lives.
"Those who came before and those who are serving now are made of the same stuff as you
(the students)," he said. "Even if you don't join the service, you can demonstrate that commitment and sacrifice to serve and strengthen your community."
Over 30 veterans attended the event which included a "Tribute to the Armed Forces" by the United Choir, an introduction of local veterans and a moment of silence for Navy veteran and retired United teacher Dan Imhoff Sr., who recently passed away. Boy Scout Troop 55 posted colors and led the "Pledge of Allegiance." The event also included performances by the United Band and readings by United students.

The plasma glycome represents a potential source of disease biomarkers. Changes in glycosylation of glycoproteins are often associated with inflammatory and other acute-phase disease responses and may provide a tool for early disease detection. In breast cancer, detectable glycan changes associated with inflammatory activity in tumors typically precede metastatic activity.
It is also possible to characterize changes in the glycosylation of proteins from cells shed by tumors, and such glycan-based biomarkers might prove useful for detecting circulating tumor cells. In prostate cancer, although the relative level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a commonly used biomarker for prostate cancer screening, it is neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific.
Pauline Rudd, Ph.D., NIBRT professor of glycobiology at University College, Dublin, and colleagues at the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT), have identified a subset of PSA that has an altered glycosylation pattern in the prostate cancer setting.
"Altered glycosylation of acute-phase proteins and IgG suggests that cancer regulates certain pathways favoring cancer cell survival," Dr. Rudd observes. In ovarian cancer, for example, N-glycosylation changes in serum glycoproteins have been associated with a decrease in galactosylation of IgG and an increase in sialyl Lewis X.
Dr. Rudd's group has developed a robotic HPLC-based platform designed to perform quantitative glycan analysis and glycoprofiling to support both research on glycoproteins and bioprocessing applications from early-stage design through process analytical technology and biopharmaceutical production. Their work has led to the development of a glycome database called GlycoBase that contains structures of plasma glycans compiled from 1,008 individuals. The database includes more than 400 glycan structures, including 117 from the plasma glycome.
Dr. Rudd's group used HPLC analysis of fluorophore-labeled glycans combined with sialidase digestion to separate and quantify individual glycans into 33 chromatographic peaks. Dr. Rudd reports "surprisingly large biological variability at the population level."
GlycoBase provides the elution positions for labeled N-glycan structures and the predicted products of exoglycosidase digestion. The database is being used to study the variability, heritability, and lifestyle factors that affect the composition of the human plasma N-glycan.
Dr. Rudd cites several advantages of using HPLC for glycome analysis, including the sensitivity and reproducibility of the technology and its ability to yield quantitative results. Furthermore, HPLC resolves molecules on the basis of their hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties and is able to analyze both charged and neutral glycans simultaneously and to distinguish between isomers.
Dr. Rudd's group automated the HPLC analytical workflow in a 96-well plate format from sample processing through data interpretation. N-linked sugars can be analyzed at concentrations as low as the femtomole range and isolated from microgram quantities of glycoprotein mixtures using traditional amide columns.

The emptying out of downtown Buffalo's tallest building should not be looked at as a threat, but a chance to reposition the 40-year-old tower and take advantage of the rampant redevelopment around it, the head of an outside panel of real estate experts said Monday, after arriving in town to review future options for One HSBC Center.
Citing the massive economic investment happening in the city now, Charles A. Long said the timing presents the tower's New York City-based ownership group with an opportunity to capitalize on the activity.
"This is a 40-year-old building. It would need to have attention paid to it, in terms of updating it and making it modern, in any case," said Long, a developer from Oakland, Calif., who is chairing the panel from the Urban Land Institute.
"And so the circumstances that the owners of this building face could be looked at not as a disaster but as an opportunity. This is a great building in a great location, and it probably needs to have some reinvestment now anyway to respond to the modern marketplace and the demands that that marketplace creates."
The mammoth building certainly faces challenges from its size and intimidating structure, as well as a large balloon mortgage, Long acknowledged. But it's also adjacent to more than $500 million in development under way on various projects at Canalside, which is part of more than $1.5 billion in economic projects now under way in the city. It straddles Main Street, which the city is reconfiguring for revitalization. And it's a subject of significant attention by city leadership, he noted.
"This is the heart of commerce in the region, downtown Buffalo, and it's important that we really look at future uses of this building in a very strategic way," said Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown. "This building is critical to the future of this community, to continuing the progress that we want to see in this community."
Indeed, Long praised the "community leadership" in Buffalo, which he called a "prerequisite to something beneficial happening." He cited the city's emphasis on creating more residential space and "making the downtown more attractive for moving residents into downtown," as well as the growth of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and University at Buffalo's decision to move its medical school downtown. "The $1.5 billion that the mayor mentioned is not by accident," he said. "It's the result of a community that has great community leadership."
And that leadership, as well as concerted action not only by the building's owners, but the community at large, is necessary for success, he said. "This is a problem that's not going to be solved by Thursday," Long said. "It's a problem that's going to require the community's leadership to pick up the ideas and move ahead with an implementation program that's responsive to the challenges that we face."
The volunteer panel from ULI, an internationally renowned nonprofit land-use organization, was brought in with the help of a $10,000 grant from the city's Buffalo Urban Development Corp. to help Seneca One Realty, owners of the tower, to find a new use for their 38-story building.
Constructed and opened in 1972, the 853,000-square-foot tower will go from 90 percent occupied to 95 percent vacant by year-end, after its two largest tenants – HSBC Bank USA and law firm Phillips Lytle LLP – leave in October and December, respectively. That means more than one-fifth of the downtown area's 4 million square feet of Class A space could be added to the vacancy rolls all at once.
"We're not sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves. We feel there's a tremendous opportunity," said Stephen Fitzmaurice, chief operating officer for Seneca One.
Among options under consideration would be a conversion into a mixed-use structure, equally divided between condominiums, office space and a "four- or five-star hotel," Fitzmaurice said. The top floor would again be a restaurant or banquet center, as it was over 17 years ago, followed by an observation deck on the 37th floor.
Of course, officials would still have to assess if there's enough demand for more hotel space, given the hotels already in operation downtown and pending plans for more as part of other projects. The same would be true for office space and condos.
The tower's wraparound buildings at the base, occupied by the bank for 39 years, also pose the possibility of unusually large urban floorplates of as much as 52,000 square feet.
In the meantime, Fitzmaurice said, it's premature to predict exactly what they will do, how much it might cost, or where the funds would come from, though the final tally could easily rival the original $93 million purchase price for the building in 2005.
On Monday, the six-member team of developers, architects and economic development experts from ULI – who started arriving late Sunday night – began a marathon three-day examination of the building's prospects for redevelopment.
The process will involve tours of the building and the downtown area; a briefing book of more than 100 pages of written materials from Seneca One; interviews with over 40 local developers, bankers, government officials and other community leaders; and a late-night or even overnight session to hash out ideas and prepare a report.
It will culminate Thursday at 9 a.m. with recommendations to the public. "It just shows the depth and breadth of experience that the Urban Land Institute has in conducting and engaging in these kind of processes," Brown said.
But Long cautioned not to think that's the end. "Good ideas by themselves are useless. The difference between a good idea and a good idea that works is work," he said. "Hopefully we leave with the community good ideas that they're willing to spend their time and energy making work."

This week is the start of the gray whale migration north along the coast. Carter saw a tale and some spouts and I think I saw something, too, but I'm not sure. I learned that their swimming pattern is to surface for air a few times and then go down for longer periods before coming back up again. I think I'm migrating, too.
I don't know, if you can migrate like running in place? I am finding I don't need to come up for air here as often as before. I'm on my way somewhere. Not totally off the page, but I just feel like writing is one of the many ways that I am creative. I am enjoying the other many ways during my deep dive. Baby alpaca on my needles and soft through my fingers, glue and paint on my hands, ocean in my lens, food on the table.
I figured something out the other day- that while I feel our new home is familiar and comfortable to me, to everyone and everything else I am still kind of a visitor. I am receiving and embracing and now I wait for it in return.

Ramon Cabrera had a dream-like playoffs with Leones del Caracas, where he was able hit the ball at opportune times. The team suffered a slump and could not bring in many runs to win games. However, Cabrera finished as the team leader in batting average. In eight games played, he hit .483, with five runs scored, two doubles, two RBIs, two walks and a strikeout, with 16 total bases. This displayed the maturity of the player in his first participation in the VWL Round Robin and looking ahead to spring training with the Tigers, who have many weapons to showcase.
Victor Larez did not leave his dominance behind in 2012, as it remained for the New Year as he continued into 2013. Although it was not enough to take his team to the final stage, the righty posted a 1-0 record over nine appearances for the Leones del Caracas, threw 8.2 innings. He allowed nine hits, three runs, four walks and four strikeouts, resulting in a 2.08 ERA. Larez, who remained with the big club all season was not available for the final series. He will prepare for Spring Training where he will display what he learned in the Venezuelan league.
Hernan Perez remained at the disposal of the Leones del Caracas for late innings of games. The skillful player was used in only 4 of the 16 games. In just two at-bats, he scored a run, and had a pair of stolen bases. In the last week of championship games, Perez gave up his place on the roster to big leaguer Alex Gonzalez, who would play at shortstop.
Omar Infante returned to Round Robin after five years of absence in Venezuelan ball. The infielder just participated in two meetings with the Caribes de Anzoátegui and was decisive. In nine at-bats, he scored three runs, connected three hits, including two home runs, driving in four runs, and received a walk and a strikeout. He finished with a .333 average until 18 January when he was stopped by Detroit, not allowing him to play in the finals.
Jose Ortega and Argenis Diaz are the Tigers who will be attending the Venezuelan championship final. However, both played in situational functions with the Navegantes del Magallanes. Ortega appeared only once in the mound for Magellan with one inning pitched, and left the team's roster last week. While Diaz came out as a pinch runner in the playoff race and scored. Both players have been invited to Spring Training for the Tigers and must demonstrate what they have to stay in the big team, so it is expected that Magallanes will not count on them to lift the trophy.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Scientists have identified a blood protein biomarker that can help diagnose early-stage lung cancer without the need for invasive procedures, and could potentially represent a therapeutic target. The protein is a stable variant of the nuclear matrix-associated DNA replication factor Ciz1, which in its native form plays a key role in DNA replication. A team at the U.K.'s University of York has now found that a truncated version of the protein is expressed by lung tumor cells, but not normal lung tissue surrounding the tumor, and can be detected in the blood. The discovery has led to the founding of University of York spinout Cizzle Biotech, which aims to exploit the Ciz1 IP for diagnostic and potentially therapeutic applications.
The reported studies by Dawn Coverley, Ph.D., and colleagues, showed that presence of the Ciz1 variant in blood plasma could accurately identify patients with stage 1 lung cancer. Blood tests on two separate cohorts of patients confirmed that Ciz1 levels above a specific threshold correctly classified 95–98% of small cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-SCLC patients, with a specificity of 71–75%. Their calculations indicated that if the test were applied as a secondary screen to high-risk individuals with suspicious CT results it could halve the number of individuals who need to be referred for invasive follow-up procedures.
Encouragingly, using a short-hairpin RNA to knock down production of the Ciz1 variant, either in vitro or in a xenograft model of SCLC, led to a dramatic reduction in tumor growth, which the York team says identifies the protein as a functionally relevant driver of tumor cell proliferation. The researchers report their findings in PNAS, in a paper titled "Variant Ciz1 is a circulating biomarker for early-stage lung cancer."
"By looking for variant Ciz1 in the blood we can pick out people who have small tumors in their lungs, without the need to take a biopsy or undergo surgery," Dr. Coverley states. "We think that the test will be especially powerful when combined with X-ray or CT imaging, and will offer doctors an alternative way to test whether an abnormal growth is cancerous. For the patient, this means that many could avoid invasive diagnostic procedures altogether."

Chronic Lung Disease, Day-to-Day Care: for Caregivers
Chronic Lung Disease, Day-to-Day Care: for Caregivers
With chronic lung disease, even getting in and out of bed can make breathing difficult. Coping with the physical limitations of this disease can be a challenge for both patient and caregiver. But you can each take steps to simplify your daily routine.
Living Healthier
Being active and eating right helps you both stay healthy.
Here are some ideas:
Encourage each other to stay active. Pulmonary rehab staff teaches patients suitable exercises to do. You can also be active together. For instance, take a walk to get oxygen moving through your whole body.
Get help planning and preparing meals. People with chronic lung disease may have special dietary needs. When both of you need a break, ask family or friends to help cook. Or, consider using a meal delivery service.
|A waterproof stool and grab bar make the shower safe.
Even a few changes can make home life safer. Try these tips:
In the bathroom, modify the shower or tub for safety. Get a waterproof stool and handheld water nozzle. Install grab bars to make getting in and out easier.
In the bedroom, keep a nightstand or other furniture near the bed. Place medications, water, and important items on it for easy reach.
In the kitchen, make sure items that you use often, such as dishes and silverware, are within reach.
Along hallways, install handrails for support. Also, keep hallways, stairs, and doorways clear and well lighted.
If You or Your Loved One Smokes
Smoking worsens symptoms and harms health. If either of you smokes, it's time to stop. Speak with a health care provider or call the American Lung Association to learn about smoking cessation programs. Also, try the following:
Ask about medications or replacement therapy (nicotine patch or gum). These can help decrease the urge to smoke.
Make a list of reasons to quit. Keep the list handy and read it often.
List the places, feelings, and things that prompt the urge to smoke. Think of ways to avoid these triggers.

President Barack Obama's second inauguration was not the only big news to come out of Washington this week: just three days after Obama talked about fairness and equality in his inaugural address, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women in combat.
During his comments Thursday, Panetta said that it was "the responsibility of every citizen to protect the nation."
Many have praised the surprise announcement as a landmark for equal rights, including some Republican leaders, such as Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who said lifting the ban was "the right thing to do."
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said, "I think it's wonderful. I think our women from West Virginia who serve will be just wonderful."
After the announcement, Obama said in a statement the decision was "another step toward fulfilling our nation's founding ideals of fairness and equality."
Obama said the deaths of more than 150 American military women in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrate that "valor knows no gender." Another 1,000 women have been wounded in those two wars.
Lifting the ban is expected to open 230,000 front-line positions to women. Currently women constitute 15 percent of the active-duty military.
Few critical voices have emerged after the announcement, although McCain said he wants "to make sure that the standards, particularly the physical standards, are met so that the combat efficiency of the units are not degraded."
Panetta vowed lifting the ban will not compromise our country's military readiness, and promised the armed forces will not lower standards for service, including physical fitness.
We believe every female soldier should have the opportunity to rise through the ranks, and understand there have been many valiant women who have fought and died for this country.
That being said, it should be noted Thursday's announcement has, in effect, changed the face of combat. It has also, perhaps, changed the face of compassion in America.
How will our country react to massive female casualties in any upcoming military involvement? Will we react with shock and anger, the way many Americans did when thousands of young men's bodies were shipped home from Vietnam?
Even some who support the lifting of the ban acknowledge it will be a difficult adjustment to see American women on the front lines in combat.
"It's one thing to be some place where a rocket hits and be wounded, and it's another thing to be out there on a night raid against al-Qaida," McCain said this week.
Many American men were brought up to believe they should protect women and keep them from harm's way. Thursday's announcement made clear those beliefs have no place in our modern military.
Is that progress? What are we sacrificing in the name of equality? It remains to be seen how sending women - including young mothers - to fight on the front lines will affect Americans' hearts and psyches.
