Ok, silly me, it's been years since I've done some HTML classes.
The guide is correct, if you want to write in large font, you have to use the {h3} (Insert Content) {/h3} tags. Except, replace all the { with < or >.
So the code for:
{h3}Big Bold Text{/h3} except you replace all the { } with < >. Also, only h3 works, none of the other sizes do.

Timeless advice that we want to share with those looking, considering a change or wondering if they should be.
Very good. And you're smart enough not to take this closeness for granted. You realize the necessity of keeping the relationship fresh and exciting. After all, there are other suitors out there just dying to lure your consumer away. Dirty rats.
Let us help you maintain the connection with Bob, even strengthening it as time goes on. Help me keep the flame burning with Bob.
Consumers' tastes and habits can change over time, or in a split second, based on shifting factors like age, income, fad or style. The best way to keep up with the moving-target consumer is to be ever mindful of marketing trends and to keep your eyes and ears open to your consumer.
Let us help you and Bob stay Best Friends Forever. Help me patch things up with Bob.
Sometimes an advertiser's products or services evolve based on the same shifting factors that can change a consumer's tastes and habits - trends, fads, styles, income and age. You may unconsciously step away from your core consumer to woo a new market, with unhappy results.
Let us help you get the old Bob back, while you develop a separate but equally rewarding relationship with that other Bob. I want to be BFFs with both Bobs.
That's actually an easy fix. You've identified the type of consumer you want to reach, but you haven't drilled down to the core of his and/or her needs and wants. You may be spending a lot of dollars throwing darts blindfolded. And sure, a couple will stick within the inner circle, but most won't score—and you'll end up with a bunch of holes in the wall.
Let us help remove your blindfold and help you find your target. Bull's eye. Help me get close to Bob.
Identifying your consumer is essential, but because every consumer is different, that can be a tad tricky. Each end user has hot buttons. Push one hot button and you have a sale. Push several, and you have a lasting relationship. Find the common buttons that all your target consumers share, and you build lots of lasting relationships. That's called success.
Let us introduce you to Bob. I'm ready to meet Bob.
Timeless advice that we want to share with those looking, considering a change or wondering if they should be.

For here you will never be alone. There's magic that I'll show you, and awe that I shall know you. That you might live in peace and rest for now. Rest in me for the time being, 'cause tomorrow you'll be seeing. You'll soon see the path some way, somehow. The days to come are blinding bright, next year at the end of the fight. For there and then, you and I, we can be dancers. Take my hand and I'll lift you, tomorrow I will miss you. There'll come another time to take chances.

At Harvard, the Jewish student group Hillel was barred from co-sponsoring a discussion with a Palestinian student group. At Binghamton University, a Hillel student leader was forced to resign his position after showing a film about Palestinians and inviting the filmmaker's brother to speak. And on many other campuses, Hillel chapters have been instructed to reject collaboration with left-leaning Jewish groups.
At American colleges, few values are as sacred as open debate and few issues as contested as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But Hillel, whose core mission is to keep the next generation of Jews in the fold, says that under its auspices one thing is not open to debate: Those who reject or repudiate Israel have no place.
This month, the students at the Swarthmore Hillel rebelled, declaring themselves the first "Open Hillel" in the nation. They will not abide by Hillel guidelines that prohibit chapters from collaborating with speakers or groups that "delegitimize" or "apply a double standard" to Israel.
The Hillel dispute has amplified an increasingly bitter intra-Jewish debate over what is permissible discussion and activism about Israel on college campuses.
In a major step affecting that dispute, professors in the 5,000-member American Studies Association voted this month to boycott Israeli academic institutions over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

CD/LP/Track Review
Michael Melito Quartet: 'Bout Time! (2001)
With trumpeter Joe Magnarelli (on one cut) and tenor saxophonist Grant Stewart on hand, the hard bop performances as led by Melito definitely fall in the same category as the fare cultivated on the Criss Cross Jazz label. Stewart is so unduly neglected that it's a crime, but he's in great form here with a swagger that recalls earlier tenor icons such as Dexter Gordon (spin 'Nobody Else But Me' for proof). As for pianist Paul Hoffman and bassist Paul Gill, the two mesh seamlessly with Melito, who obviously has given much thought to the final recorded sound of his drum kit.
Among the ten tracks, which clock in at close to an hour, are a few originals by Melito, Hoffman, and Magnarelli. Freddie Hubbard's 'Happy Times' and Tina Brooks' 'Minor Move' are sagaciously chosen pleasures that reveal Melito's tastes in obscure chestnuts. Furthermore, choosing to lead in the service of the music, the drummer does not engage in flashy solos and bombast. As such, nothing overly dramatic occurs, but each musician speaks with his or her own voice and the swinging 'lan displayed by all will not doubt offer a healthy share of delights for those of the hard bop persuasion.
Track Listing: Happy Times, Nobody Else But Me, Minor Move, My Ideal, Jack Be Nimble, The Way I Feel, Bella Carolina, The Closer, The Closer (alternate take), Bolivia
Personnel: Michael Melito (drums), Paul Hoffman (piano), Paul Gill (bass), Grant Stewart (tenor sax), Joe Magnarelli (flugelhorn on "Bolivia" only)
Record Label: MHR Records
Style: Straight-ahead/Mainstream

Ancient stones a mystery for archeologists, scientists [ Los Lunas Decalogue ]
.if they had the means to explore various parts of Europe and Asia by boat, then they certainly had the means to cross the seas to the Americas.
One such item of interest is a large stone that was found in a dry creek bed in New Mexico. This stone discovered by early explorers contains the entire Ten Commandments written in Ancient Hebrew script. Today, this large stone still lies where it was originally found in the early 1800′s on the side of Hidden Mountain near Los Lunas, New Mexico, about thirty-five miles south of Albuquerque.
Scholars who have studied the stone say it pre-dates the arrival of Columbus to America.
How did this large stone with the Ten Commandments written in Ancient Hebrew come to be in North America? No one has an answer.
Another item that shows strong evidence of the possibility of Hebrews in America is noted in a custom celebrated by the Yuchi Indians in Oklahoma.
The Yuchis originally migrated from the Bahamas to Florida and Georgia and then later to the Oklahoma territory.

How "gay marriage" passed in Republican-controlled NY Senate
It was arguably the biggest sell-out in modern American political history. A group of "pro-family" Republican Senators who already had the power to stop "gay marriage" in New York decided to take the easy route, and simply stepped back and gave in to their opponents.
As expected, there were immediate calls for Dean Skelos (at the very least) to resign as Republican Majority Leader, as the primary individual responsible for the bill's passage.
In any case, this is a painful lesson for all of us about trusting "pro-family" politicians — and a loud wake-up call about the anti-family direction of the Republican Party. We've seen it in Massachusetts and other states over the last few years. We'd all better "get it" before it's too late.

In Defense Of Our Constitution
Richard Stengel is lauded by the political left as a smart and knowlegeable reporter, and is well thought of as Editor of Time Magazine.
After this week's edition, one has to wonder why.
Time's headline story is titled, "Does It Still Matter?'. It refers to the U.S. Constitution. And in large part, Stengel's answer is "No". In fact, he basically argues that it never mattered.
Stengel points to the irrelevancy of the Constitution is pointing to war powers. He goes on:
Stengel's most relevant passage states the following:
"We can pat ourselves on the back about the past 223 years, but we cannot led the Constitution become an obstacle to the U.S.'s moving into the future with a sensible health care system, a globalized economy, an evolving sense of civil and political rights…
…The Constitution does not protect our spirit of liberty; our spirit of liberty protects the Constitution. The Constitution serves the nation; the nation does not serve the Constitution."
These passages, more than any other, show Stengel's bias, and in the end, his ultimate stupidity. The Constitution does protect our spirit of liberty, in so far that without such a document, what would we define as liberty? Would we, for example, simply inherently understand that free speech is a right, without such a declaration as the first amendment? The Constitution serves our nation, to be sure; but a nation which does not serve the Constitution is abiding by what law, exactly?

Obama Regime Rigged "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Survey Results!
Defense Department Inspector General Says, The Fix Was In…
DADT Survey Results Written BEFORE Survey Taken!
In a 33 page report by Inspector General, Department of Defense, obtained by WND and reported today, "Feds Find Fix Was in on 'Study' of Homosexuality in Ranks," concludes that "the fix – maybe even handed down by the White House – was in before the military ever started asking soldiers and sailors about how opening the ranks to homosexuals would affect the nation's defense."
If you will remember the Democrats, having suffered extreme losses during the mid-term elections, were ramming through legislation during the Lame Duck Session before their representative's terms were up. One of those laws was the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy established during Bill Clinton's term in office in 1993 that prohibited homosexuals from serving in the armed forces. There was little debate, and few hearings on the subject as both the Democrat led House and the Senate pushed the legislation through. One of their key arguments relied on the "Survey." It now appears that Congress was duped and the information misrepresented about this survey. The report is also showing that an unknown person leaked unauthorized information to the media.

Ann Coulter: GOP Should Hide Their Candidates So Media Can't 'Ridicule And Demonize' Them
Ann Coulter appeared on Fox Business Network's America's Nightly Scoreboard with some advice for Republican primary voters. Coulter told them they "need to concentrate on Governors" in the race, because even though she likes Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain a lot, she doesn't think either have the necessary credentials or experience to go all the way. Coulter also spent some describing how environmental groups are "fanatics" and wondered "couldn't we save a lot of money getting rid of the EPA?" Yet her harshest remarks were saved for the mainstream media, as she

Bachmann's Former Chief of Staff: She Isn't Ready
In today's issue of the Des Moines Register, Ron Carey, former chief of staff to Michele Bachmann, says that she isn't ready for the White House. He also endorsed one of her rivals for the GOP nomination:
Having seen the two of them, up close and over a long period of time, it is clear to me that while Tim Pawlenty possesses the judgment, the demeanor, and the readiness to serve as president, Michele Bachmann decidedly does not.
The Bachmann campaign and congressional offices I inherited were wildly out of control. Stacks upon stacks of unopened contributions filled the campaign office while thousands of communications from citizens waited for an answer. If she is unable, or unwilling, to handle the basic duties of a campaign or congressional office, how could she possibly manage the magnitude of the presidency?
Does anyone else find that to be a notably weak takedown? It's never a good thing when someone who has observed you closely votes "no confidence," so file that away for what it's worth. But the particulars of this op-ed? Think about it. What does a good leader do when folks in the office are getting behind on the mail and correspondence? I'd say that hiring a new chief of staff is an acceptable answer. Sounds like that's what Rep. Bachmann did. I could write a better takedown of former colleagues who I found to be totally wonderful and qualified in every way!
I am prepared to believe that Bachmann is unfit for the presidency. In fact, I already believe it, for reasons alluded to here.

Time Magazine's Buffoonery Exposed
Let's face the ugly truth: there is a movement in this country to diminish the weight of the United States Constitution, the very basis of our liberties and the most successful framework of governance int he history of mankind. It stands in the way of the dreams of statists, and for that reason, is under attack.
The latest journalistic assault on the Constitution came from Richard Stengel, managing editor of Time Magazine, in a cover story (!) last week, that was nothing less than disgraceful and laughable. Mark J, Fitzgibbons wrote a quick blog for AT debunking the story, but now on Patterico's Pontifications comes a more thorough and absolutely devastating essay by Richard Worthing, "Thirteen Clear Factual Errors in Richard Stengel's Essay on the Constitution"
The logic and evidence are impeccable. read, enjoy, and pass along the essay. Time Magazine has descended to the level of intellectual buffoonery. An already fading jorunalistic institution can be said to be in its moral death throes, publishing tripe like this. Stengel deserves all the scorn that thinking people can dish out.

In a United States so locked into a 'march step' mentality among its War Leaders, and Politicians, in leading their citizens into further expansion of their World War, Congressman Paul 'crossed the line', according to Russian Political Scientists, when he recently stated upon the floor of the United Congress:
"Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty".

Beck and Family Harassed During Outdoor Movie Night in NYC Park
There are those who love freedom of expression, as long as it's not conservatives who are doing the expressing. Just ask Glenn Beck. On radio Tuesday, he told the stunning story of how he and his family were harassed during an outdoor movie in New York City's Bryant Park.
For those unfamiliar with Bryant Park, it hosts weekly showings of classic films during the summer months. Attendees bring blankets and picnic dinners and sprawl out on the park's great lawn while watching the films on a giant screen.
As Beck explained, he attended Monday night's public showing of Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" with his wife and daughter. During the film, he was ridiculed, had someone "kick a cup" of wine on his wife and on his blanket, and even witnessed another person stand up and yell, "We hate conservatives here!"
"These people were some of the most hateful people I have ever seen," Beck said. "All I wanted to do is go out on a blanket with my family and have dinner in the afternoon sun and sit around Americans, not like-minded Americans, and just watch a movie in the park. And last night at about‑‑ when the movie was just about over, my wife and I got out because it was hostile."
Later, when Beck left near the end of the movie, the crowd applauded.

Gettysburg College's Hate Crime 'Artist' by Thomas DiLorenzo
A man from Detroit named John Sims, who now teaches art at the Ringling [Brothers?] School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, has created quite a controversy with his planned September 3, 2004 opening of an exhibit at Gettysburg College where he will reportedly "lynch" the Confederate Battle Flag by "hanging" it from a gallows. (In another work of "art" Sims has crudely insulted every Jew in the world by displaying the Israeli flag in the colors of the PLO). Gettysburg College's museum director, Molly Hutton, reportedly jumped at the chance to display something as politically correct as the Israeli flag smear when Sims proposed his "lynching" exhibit at the College.
This is yet another example of the incredible — if not astounding — ignorance of American history on the part of most Americans — even ones who are employed by institutions of higher learning. Having written a book on Lincoln, published over 80 articles, and given dozens of public lectures and radio interviews on Lincoln and the War to Prevent Southern Independence over the past two-and-a-half years, one thing I have learned is that the average American knows nothing at all about the topic except for a few clichés that he or she was exposed to in primary school.

The Real DiLorenzo: A 'Southern Partisan' Interview
Why has the reaction of the critics been so severe?
The nationally syndicated columnist, Paul Criag Roberts wrote to me and said, "They're attacking you because you're destroying their human capital." What he meant by that is that there are academics who have spent careers writing fables and fairytales about Abraham Lincoln. Then I come along and do my best to present real facts and portray Abraham Lincoln as a real life human being, not as a saint. It threatens their whole veracity.
The very first e-mail I got was from a philosophy professor at Gettysburg College. He congratulated me and told me that in his opinion, "You've overthrown the myth about a real legend." And he said his colleague, Gabor Boritt, is not going to like it at all.
I quote Gabor Boritt commenting on Lincoln's career-long infatuation with colonization, or shipping all the black people back to Africa or Haiti or South America or someplace. I quoted Boritt as saying, "This is how honest people lie." In other words, all those statements about colonization were honest lies. If that's not Orwellian, what is?
In a sense, you're not attacking Lincoln, so much as the very foundations of modernAmerican national government.
I call him the Founding Father of big government. It's kind of strange. There are these self-described conservatives who are the big Lincoln idolaters, like the people at the Claremont Institute. But really, when you look at them, they advocate nationalism and executive power. That's one reason why they idolize him so much. That's totally at odds with the Jeffersonian tradition.
On the other side of the coin are the liberal historians. Liberals always have Lincoln and FDR as their number one and number two presidents, because they were the most dictatorial of all our presidents. So, you have this odd mix of liberal and conservative academics, both of whom idolize Lincoln because they really do embrace big government.
Big government conservatives don't mind big government as long as people like themselves are in charge of it. They run the Bush administration, at the moment.

The Founding Fathers Were Anti-War
Whatever the president orders the military to do, it must not only be right but also essential to the freedom of every American.
This couldn't be farther from the ideas of most of the founders. The Constitution reveals their suspicion of any permanent military establishment. The Congress is given the power to raise an army, but only for two years. This ensures that the people can disband the army during every Congressional election, as the House representatives are elected at the same intervals. The power to declare war is kept away from the president and given to Congress, where two separate bodies have to vote on it.
It is apparent from the document itself and the statements of many of its framers that they were very aware of the dangers to liberty that accompanied prolonged warfare or a standing army in peacetime. Contrary to what most Tea Partiers apparently believe, the founders were anti-war.
Remember that the colonists were reluctant to fight with the British right from the beginning. The colonial militia at Concord held their fire even after the British had fired upon them, killing two Americans. It was only when one of their commanding officers yelled "Fire, for God's sake, fellow soldiers, fire!" that they fired upon the British. Three months later they sent the Olive Branch Petition to King George in an attempt to avoid all-out war.
Once the Constitution was ratified, the administrations of the first three U.S. presidents were dominated by efforts to avoid going to war. During Washington's administration, pro-France Jeffersonians urged the president to take France's side in its conflict with England. Instead, Washington approved the Jay Treaty, which normalized trade relations with Great Britain.
Whom Does the Law Serve? by Paul Craig Roberts
Whereas the police are required to respond to charges by questioning the accused, they are not supposed to make a public spectacle of him in order to create the impression that he is guilty before he is even charged. Yet DSK was arrested aboard an airliner as it was about to depart for France and portrayed by the police as a fleeing criminal. Photos were released of him in handcuffs and stripped of his business attire.
The judge refused bail to one of the West's most high profile persons on the basis of the prosecutor's statement that DSK would flee the country and hide out abroad. All of this quickly was passed to reporters, who obliged the prosecutors and police by portraying DSK as obviously guilty as he was apprehended fleeing from the country.
The police even planted the story that DSK was in such a hurry to flee that he left behind his cell phone and that that is how they found him. This was a ball-faced lie. The fact of the matter is that when DSK arrived at the airport, he discovered that he had left his cell phone and called the hotel, the scene of the alleged crime, to ask that it be retrieved and brought to him at the airport.

"I'm Not Who You Think I Am" (Leo Donofrio)
I have to get this off my chest. Many of my readers seem to be under the false impression that I am a Republican pundit conservative. I'm really sick of that. I have absolutely no respect for either the GOP or the DNC. The only political party I can relate to in any way is the Libertarian party, but I don't agree with them on every point either. I have a simple rule that works for me: I severely distrust all politicians all the time… always, every single one.
For those who wish to put me in a political right wing corner, who ask me to speak at political functions, who want me to join the tea party movement — stop. You really don't know me. I'm not who you think I am. So, let me update you on a few things.

What The Fukushima Is Going On In Omaha?
In the immediate aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japanese officials assured everyone that everything was alright; everything was under control, that the problem was limited and controllable. It took a few days for that lie to fall apart.
This time, it may be our turn. Something bad is happening in Nebraska. A state of emergency was declared for two counties where two nuclear plants are located – one at the Fort Calhoun nuclear facility and one at the Cooper Nuclear Station near Brownsville. Due to flooding from the Missouri River, some kind of emergency event is happening or about to happen there. The government is telling us not to worry, that there are just some precautionary measures going on to prevent a disaster from happening because of the flooding.
Makeshift barriers have been erected at the Fort Calhoun plant because the current river level is two feet above the ground level of the plant. At the Cooper facility, another three inches of water and the facility will be closed. There were two tornadoes in the area a few days ago with winds of 85 mph.
Without the barriers, the plants

Blue State liberals are not like us; they just aren't «Coach is Right
The Left is painting itself into a corner that is accelerating the destruction of its fortresses across the country. The red ink soaked Democrats who control Illinois New York California and Massachusetts are seemingly doing everything they can to drive their states into bankruptcy.
While Red States such as Alabama Georgia and Arizona have busied themselves passing firm anti-illegal alien laws, America's Bluest States are busy committing social and financial suicide and taking their dwindling number of American patriots with them.
To make it harder for the police to protect their citizens from criminal illegal aliens all four of these Blue states have withdrawn from participation in the federal "Secure Communities" program which helps local law enforcers identify and deport illegal alien felons in their custody.
As if to underscore how counterproductive pulling out of this program is, at about the same time the Democrats in these states were sabotaging efforts to protect their citizens from foreign criminals, U.S. Immigration and Customs officials were announcing the arrest of some 2400 criminal who are illegally in our country.
Democrats and illegal aliens

You may find many alternative ear infection treatments on the Internet and in books and magazines. They include chiropractic adjustments and homeopathy, among others.
You might seek out alternative ear infection treatments for several reasons, such as concern about overusing antibiotics or a dislike for their side effects. Or you may find that conventional medicines offer little relief.
In most cases, however, researchers haven't studied alternative ear infection treatments adequately using widely accepted scientific methods. For this reason, alternative ear infection treatments aren't generally recommended for use in children.
Homeopathy and chiropractic care are two therapies that have been studied — with mixed results — as ear infection treatments.
Before your child uses an alternative ear infection treatment, be sure to:

I imagine we'll have a thread for training camp, but:
James Southerland Signing Camp Deal With Bobcats
Undrafted free agent James Southerland has reached agreement to sign a straight training camp deal with the Charlotte Bobcats, a league source told RealGM.
Southerland, a 6-foot-8 forward, played for the Golden State Warriors in the Las Vegas summer league and averaged 11.6 minutes and four points. He's among the best shooters in the crop of incoming rookies.
Southerland had also considered overseas options before agreeing to a non-guaranteed camp deal.
Southerland, 23, spent four years at Syracuse University, averaging 13.3 points in his senior season.
Was Southerland's defense considered sub-par in college?
Southerland is bad at everything but streaky spot-up shooting. He's a decent athlete but he doesn't use any of it in games outside of the occasional rebound.

The late budget breakthrough in Washington could give the stock market a boost Wednesday, though investors are already turning their attention to issues left unresolved by the deal.
Late Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to approve a compromise deal cleared by the Senate to avert a series of government spending cuts and tax increases known as the fiscal cliff.
Japan's stock market was closed for a holiday, but several other Asian markets were moving higher early Wednesday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was up 1.8%, while South Korea's Kospi was up 1.4% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index was up 1.2%. The dollar rose against the yen but fell against the euro in early Asian trading.
If U.S. stocks rise Wednesday, that would add to a New Year's Eve rally that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average gain 166.03 points, or 1.3%, as the Senate inched toward a deal. It was the largest point gain on the final day of the year in the average's history. Major global markets were closed Tuesday.
But the joy may be short-lived. Investors are already looking ahead to the next battles on the legislative calendar, including debates on the federal budget, preprogrammed spending cuts and the debt ceiling, which limits the government's ability to borrow— all in the next few months.
"Even if the market decides to rally in the short term, how far can you reasonably go before you have to deal with this again?" said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG LLC, a New York brokerage, who spent the Tuesday holiday monitoring the latest political developments from home.
For many investors, the relatively narrow scope of the congressional compromise virtually ensures continued political turmoil.
For months, investors had hoped politicians would be able to strike a "grand bargain" that would set tax and spending policy for the next decade.
But those high hopes gradually gave way to smaller ambitions.
On the eve of the Dec. 31 deadline, investors were seemingly content with any deal to at least avert the immediate consequences of going over the fiscal cliff.
"It reached the point that the market was basically saying, 'Do something—anything—to make this go away,'" said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial.

The smaller deal leaves many of the bigger questions over the deficit and taxes unresolved, prolonging uncertainty for investors.
If there is any consolation, Ms. Krosby said that many in the market have grown inured to the political volatility, managing their investments to minimize damage in the event of either outcome. "Traders and portfolio managers are going into this hedged—they know this could go either way," Ms. Krosby said.

No decision yet on Afghanistan troop drawdown: Robert Gates
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration, looking to wind down the war in Afghanistan even as insurgent attacks continue, has not yet decided how many troops will start coming home in July, the defense chief said on Tuesday.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he had not yet gotten recommendations from David Petraeus, the American general who commands the 132,000 foreign soldiers in Afghanistan, about how many troops Washington should withdraw starting in July.
"I expect that (the recommendations) will be coming in the not-too-distant-future," Gates told reporters after meeting his British counterpart Liam Fox.
President Barack Obama, who rose to prominence as a critic of the Iraq war, has promised to begin removing some of the 100,000 U.S. soldiers this summer, a first step toward ending a war that has waning support among Americans.
A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News this week showed that more Americans disapprove of rather than support Obama's management of the Afghanistan war.
Yet Obama, who sent an extra 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, faces a dilemma as a tenacious Taliban continues to attack local and foreign forces and the Kabul government struggles to win over Afghans wearied by decades of poverty and war.
The Pentagon is hoping the spring fighting season will prove that it has weakened the Taliban across Afghanistan. On Tuesday, the NATO-led force said an airstrike had killed a senior al Qaeda leader in eastern Kunar province.
But the challenges of containing the Taliban were illustrated this week by a massive prison break in southern Kandahar in which hundreds of prisoners escaped a high-security prison through a hole dug by the Taliban.

LONDON (Reuters) - British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Tuesday that Britain and Iran had embarked on a process that could lead to the reopening of their embassies after diplomatic relations broke down in 2011.
"Both our countries will now appoint a non-resident charge d'affaires tasked with implementing the building of relations, including interim steps on the way towards (the) eventual reopening of both our embassies," Hague told parliament.
Addressing Iran's disputed nuclear program, Hague said Tehran would need to make "substantive changes" to it if it wanted the West to ease sanctions, saying the future of British-Iranian relations would depend on tangible steps.
"Iran remains in defiance of six U.N. Security Council resolutions ... and it is installing more centrifuges in its nuclear facilities," said Hague.
"In the absence of substantial change to these policies, we will continue to maintain strong sanctions. A substantial change in British or Western policies requires a substantive change in that program."
Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed the election of President Hassan Rouhani earlier this year, but said ties remain strained because of the ransacking of the British Embassy in Tehran in 2011, an incident that led to one of the worst crises between the two countries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Reviews, plural . . . . where are the others?
We've rounded up our headphone reviews of 2010, from TDK, Sennheiser, Jays, Atomic Floyd, Logitech and more. Compare our reviews of wireless headphones, gaming, sports, noise canceling ear-buds and more.
Regular commuters and high flyers will find the Bose QuietComfort 15 noise cancelling headphones a great companion. They're comfortable, provide good sound quality suited to a number of genres, and the noise cancelling feature is sure to ward of unwanted environmental noises.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Strange end again: Pickoff ends Game 4
Boston Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli celebrates after tagging out St. Louis Cardinals' Kolten Wong on a pick-off attempt to end Game 4 of baseball's World Series Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013, in St. Louis. The Red Sox won 4-2 to ties the series at 2-2. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip) |
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The World Series had another bizarre ending — this time, a pickoff at first base. One day after the Cardinals walked off (tripped off?) with a 5-4 win on an obstruction call, Game 4 ended Sunday night with St. Louis pinch-runner Kolten Wong caught leaning.
It was the first postseason game in history to end on a pickoff, according to STATS.
The Cardinals were down 4-2 when pinch-hitter Allen Craig hit a ball off the right-field wall with one out in the ninth. It would normally have been a double but Craig can barely run due to an ankle injury made worse when he scored on the obstruction play on Saturday.
Wong, a speedy rookie, pinch-ran for Craig. After Matt Carpenter popped up, the Cardinals had just the right man at the plate as the potential tying run in Carlos Beltran, among the best postseason hitters ever.
But perhaps inexplicably given the need for two runs, not one, Wong was leaning and was out easily on closer Koji Uehara's throw to first.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Wong had been told that Uehara has a good move, and that he needed to be careful.
"And then he slipped and the slip cost him," Matheny said.
Boston manager John Farrell said it wasn't a play he called.
"That was on his own," Farrell said. "It was all on Uehara."

Front page!!! Thanks Newgrounders and Tom Fulp! Thanks to anyone who appreciates my work and all the reviews that have been posted.... I'll see what I can come up with next....
(NOTE: This movie is in two parts..... watch the other part right after and please rate the piece as one whole. Thanks.)
I really enjoy working on stick figure animations, but I wanted to take that concept up a notch.....so, I made characters that have more of a full-bodied look to them. Well, here's my latest project....Enjoy!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 28, 2007
Enjoyed the gore.
The blood and gore standed out from the rest of the killing sprees I've seen. The only thing I ask for is more fighting going on instead of 1v1 or 2v2. Animation was really good, it was detailed, liked the ending. Would be cool if there was more interactivity in the movie. Some of the deaths were thought out. You really put effect, good job. I liked part two tho... just more action.
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 28, 2007
That was so, SO great! Total pwnage. Please do more!!!!!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 26, 2007
Pretty good job
I liked that. The only constructive criticism I can think of is to try to make more than one thing going on at a time, make it true mayhem. Do your worst!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 26, 2007
I ABSOlUTLY LOVED IT!!
every aspect of the movie was brilliant, even though it was a blantant spoof of Battlefield...it still pwnd sooo much...
also loved the Deftones atmo. music

After Baghdad's violence, young Iraqi tackles new test: freshman year
She lived through the worst of Baghdad's wartime violence. But leaving her family for freshman year at the American University in Iraq has tested Amal Selman in unexpected ways.
Sulaymaniyah, Iraq
Growing up poor in war-ravaged Baghdad made Amal an expert at overcoming adversity. But during her first year at college – far from home in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq and overwhelmed by loneliness and academic rigors – Amal thought she had met her match.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
It was hard to part from the joyful laughter and close bonds of her seven siblings and widowed matriarch Karima Selman Methboub. Together, this impoverished family had witnessed car bombs, felt the fear of kidnapping, faced the imprisonment and torture of an innocent son, and withstood US occupation and a vicious insurgency.
And yet last autumn, as Amal began her first year at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani, it was a brutal English grammar class, not to mention initially standoffish classmates and solo cooking every day, that pushed her to tears over the prospect of failure. Amal also carried the burden of big expectations as a student with an unlikely background on a full five-year scholarship to AUIS.
"My first semester was terrible.... I almost wanted to go home to Baghdad," recalls the 21-year-old. "All the problems were connected. If I feel lonely, I can't study. I was on the phone [with my family] every night, but it's not enough," says Amal. "We are close; we laugh and cry. Like faithful couples, [we are] with each other in sadness and health."
A family's high hopes
Hopes could not have been higher for Amal as the flag-bearer for a family desperate to change their fortunes.
When the Monitor first met this family nearly nine years ago, during the rule of Saddam Hussein, they had just sold a piece of furniture to pay school fees for Amal. During the 2003 US invasion, at the request of the Monitor, Amal kept a diary that was later published in the newspaper – and prompted peace activists in South Korea to take the teenager on a visit to East Asia.
Amal assumed that she would go to university in Baghdad, where she wanted to study law. But her ambition and grades caught the eye of educators at AUIS. Amal passed the 3-1/2-hour exam, then withstood security checks and a four-hour wait for her interview at the US embassy.
Days later the phone rang, with news that she had been accepted on a full scholarship. But Amal was torn between staying with her family, or going to a distant city she did not know.
"I was in shock. My basic dreams were in Baghdad, close to my family and home," says Amal. "They know I love English. They would be very happy with a scholarship at an American university – it was a dream. This was the moment of truth.
"I thought about it: With all this sadness in my family, they needed some good news to make them happy," says Amal, her eyes tearing up at the memory. "I said 'yes,' for them. My mother became very happy – she was the one who accepted it, not me!"
One week later, she was on the road north. By the end of her first year, she had prevailed over every obstacle, providing a story of rare inspiration in a nation still broken by conflict.
