when i say perfect... i mean perfect
by bhood16 on November 10, 2006
Pros: absolutely gorgeous graphics, intense and well developed story line, great co-op off and online play, multiplayer rivals that of halo 1
Cons: the gameplay is so amazing that you sometimes miss the beauty of the game
Summary: All I have to say is WOW. When I gave this game a 10...it means it's a 10. I went into this game knowing the hype, knowing how ...
Summary: All I have to say is WOW. When I gave this game a 10...it means it's a 10. I went into this game knowing the hype, knowing how amazing it was supposed to be, but I never though it could be as good as it is when i play it. The campaign is great with a well developed story line, every time you die and restart a checkpoint you;re forced to play a different way due to enemy AI and different obstacles. If this gets to tough for you... check into XBL and play co=op with one of your friends.
As for online multiplayer...it beats Halo 2 and rises up to the standards of Halo 1. This is what happens when companies take their time with games. Sniping someone and watching their head pop off, chainsawing their body in two, blasting off a chunk of their body with a shotgun at point blank, and the most over the top of all... stabbing a frag grenade into their body and watching as they unknowingly walk away just to explode 2 seconds later. The game is perfect...most fun I've had ever in a game. It so team based and Epic was right anything other than 4v4 doesnt feel right.
In all the game is perfect, wouldn't change one thing about it.

Outstanding Xbox 360 Title
by sulo28 on November 9, 2006
Pros: Graphics, Unique Gameplay, Intelligent AI and Multiplayer Capabilities
Cons: Diversity and longevity

Summary: Gears of War is the newest edition to the Xbox 360 gaming portfolio that has been touted as being the first, truly next-gen title for the Xbox 360. Rightfully so, Gears of War presents a graphical quality that has not been seen in a console game to date, including those games previewed for the PS3.
As a participant at E3 2006, the latest Build of Gears of War looked as though it was ready to take on the graphical power of the PS3. Until now, skepticism remained prevalent amoung the Xbox 360 community as well as its competitors that Gears of War would be considered a true next-gen title. Games such as Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and Oblivion attempted to unleash the power of the 360 with marginal success. Developers were unaware of the 360's potential. That is, all developers except Epic.
Epic was the studio that insisted that Microsoft include 512MB of video RAM for the 360, which is double that which was going to be included in the 360 at first and double of what is included in the PS3 (256MB). Epic insisted that the additional RAM would allow much more data to be buffered which would in turn allow developers to create true graphical masterpieces. None were able to do so, until Gears of War.
Gears of War will set the standard for next-gen gaming on the 360. Having played through the campaign on the lowest setting, I am able to say without uncertainty that Gears of War represents what the Xbox 360 is truly capable of. Graphics set aside, the unique gameplay brought forth by Gears of War revolutionizes the 3rd person shooter genre. The "take cover" mentality truly creates a unique environment within which your character resides. However, the multiplayer aspects of this game should not be excluded.
Gears of War allows the user to join the single player campaign of one of his/her friends so that they, as a team, can fight through the game with even more satisfaction than if they were on their own. The Xbox Live portion of Gears of War also translates the extraodinary unique gameplay from the single player missions to the multiplayer side which creates some astounding gaming scenarios.
Though there are many great characteristics about this game, there are also a few drawbacks as well. The diversity of the enemies that you fight will not leave you breathless. It seems as though you are fighting the same 4 types of monsters throughout the entire game. However, this tends not to be a large concern because you become more worried about keeping behind cover than what type of enemy you are fighting. Also, the longevity of the game is also in question. Most FPS and TPS games do not endure. That is, actual game time is around 10 hours or so. However, this can be remedied in Gears of War by starting on the "Hardcore" setting rather than the "Casual" setting. This will leave your first experience with Gears of War much more satisfying and it will most certainly test your patience towards the end of the single player mission.
Overall, Gears of War is by far the most brilliant game to come about for the Xbox 360. From its graphics to its unique gameplay, Gears of War will undoubtedly set the standard for next-gen gaming on the Xbox 360.

The promise of HD gaming finally realized
by dddave40 on November 10, 2006
Pros: Awesome graphics and lighting; intense fighting

Summary: Not that I was dissapointed with the Xbox 360 launch titles, but I was hoping for more in the graphics deapartment given all the early hype. Typically, game console companies (ESPECIALLY SONY) blow out a lot of hot air about the capabilities of their new gen consoles. This has made me take the hype with a grain of salt and lower my expectations. However, now that GOW has been released, I can say that the early hype about the XBOX 360 capabilities has been fullfilled. Take a look at this game on a HDTV, and it becomes evident that you no longer need to go with a high end, $7000 PC gaming rig to get a superior gaming experience. Although I am typically not a big fan of Microsoft products (I hope and expect that the ZUNE will bomb), I have to give them kudos on finally delivering on the promise of true HD gaming on a console that rivals or exceeds that on a high end PC. Now where is the Sony President who stated at E3, qoute "..high def gaming has not arrived until we say it has..." He needs to pull his head out of his ass and play GOW on an XBox 360.

Summary: i have played tons of games in my lifetime, from counterstrike to halo. from rainbow six to fear. this kicks the ass of any first person shooter i have played to date. when i first got it i immediately started a coop campain with my buddy and we were constantly in awe. gears of war didnt cease to amaze us with its unique sinarios and stunning grafics. the online multiplayer from the few time i played it showed little or no lag. and was extremly pleasureable to play. voice communication adds the the excitement and realism of the gameplay. the enemies in gears of war are like that of no other video game. they seem to act differently every time. and they advance on you fast

Pros: Truly next-gen graphics. Nice main menu. Mostly good AI. Fairly legnthy campaign. Online Co-Op, and XBL support. Powerful closing cut-scene of game.
Cons: Flat, repetitive Campaign. Hard to fallow, and hard to get into story line. AI imperfections

Summary: Foreword:
After going through and reading several user reviews on CNet I was disappointed. I don't understand how some one can give a game a perfect score, when they clearly sight flaws and things they dislike in their own review. Also a comparison keeps coming up to Halo 3; people don't seem to understand what made the Halo series so successful. Could you imagine enjoying the Halo story lines if cortona just popped up and told you "Chief, destroy all these enemies" and nothing more?
Reviewed on: Sony SXRD 50" (1080p display, 1080i input ) & Sony 5.1 sound system.
Right away I started up the campaign, after reading the notes on the difficulty setting I started off with it on "hardcore." The initial take on the graphics is above average; unfortunately you are started off in a level that isn't very graphically impressive (when compared to the rest of the game). Since the main focus of almost all of the user reviews on this game focus on graphics I will start with that.
GRAPHICS: Truly this game features next generation graphics, and the game is at least worth a rent just to see the achievement. In my review of Chromehounds, I mentioned how spectacular they are. This game blows Chromehounds away graphically, and probably most games to date. Several times I would just stop to admire the detail in the ground, or the plants or even in the gory bodies around. (Sometimes you will find human bodies with their intestines hanging out…) I cannot explain how well done and incredible the most graphics of this game are done. The animations (movements) are very realistic, lots of light and water effects. That said I did catch some minor flaws in the graphics. For example on several occasions shadows would flicker through textures and geometry (solid objects). This was not a big deal, but caught my attention since the graphics are at such a high level. Another thing that was unusual was how some areas and levels of the game could be so incredibly detailed while others where just above average. This applies to textures of objects to. Most things in the game have high resolution textures, but there where a few times when I would walk up to an object only to be disappointed as the textures were sub-par to the rest of the game. For example I saw this in a telephone pole… Also I would like to note that objects collision is very well done in this game, and rarely do you see solid object pass through each other. Most important all these graphical effect are executed perfectly (really!). I can't think of one time when I noticed a slow frame rate!
AUDIO: Audio in this game is just average, Surround sound is present but not breath-taking. It isn't a downfall of the game; it just isn't as advanced as the graphics. It does its job…and a little more. I noticed this when I was playing campaign online with a friend. He was on a turret behind me, and he was talking to me but I was having trouble understanding him because my rear-right speaker was blasting out his gun fire. Audio that blew me away was in the PREY demo from XBL. It was incredible to turn on the jukebox and listen to the audio effects as I moved around. The most notable audio effect in this game is the voice acting! Your guys say some funny stuff, while other times it's powerful and emotional. This really adds a nice human element to the game.
GAMEPLAY: Okay and here it is. This is exactly why this game did not score very high for me. Of course almost any video game will be fun when you first pick it up. The learning curve was a little steep, initially, but with the difficulty set on hardcore that should be expected. The A button almost carries to much work load. As there is several times when I want to sprint but ended up covering. Getting out of cover in the heat of battle can be trouble some, along with getting into cover sometimes you will run up to cover and have to move around a lot before you can actually cover.
Starting the game most people will enjoy the detail in the carnage and learning the game, its weapons, and your opponents. But what happens after you learn these things? Honestly very little. The story is hard to follow, and isn't that complex or interesting. About 2/3 way through the campaign I started to wonder why I was playing this. It's not that it was boring because there was action and elegant game worlds, but more because it had become so repetitive. There was no mystery, no question of what would happen next. I just didn't care anymore. So when I got pretty well stuck on Hardcore I loaded it up on casual. I was surprised how easy it was. It was like a walk in the park compared to hardcore. So I rushed through the rest of the game to find no real development of the story. After the closing of the game, the final cut-scene, I was dumb struck. How could such a basic story line end with such a powerful closing statement? The words of the unknown voice where so powerful. I truly wish that the effort of the closing scene had been put into the whole game. This cut scene made me wonder if I had missed things in the game that should compare to the final scene. But nope, I watched my brother play campaign, and saw about what I had experienced.
Campaign was so disappointing for me; such a graphically advanced game had failed to entertain me in the most important category: entertainment.
One cool thing in this game is the active reload. This feature allows you to reload faster, and if you have really good timing, you can power up your ammo. Although I will never understand the physics/chemistry behind this idea…it's a "sci-fi" so what ever.
Some nice things in campaign where your team members, they bring a nice human element to campaign and help you to feel at home among them. Surprisingly, very rarely do you hear phrases repeated over and over again. And while we are on the topic of computers….
The AI's in this game where actually pretty decent. While some people thought that your squad mates are worthless I thought they were actually very useful in combat. While both enemy and human AIs seemed to be a bit over aggressive, both were fairly well balanced. Your squad mates will go down quite a bit because of this. While enemy strategy is always the same, the AIs will execute it in a variety of ways. There was a couple times where I would have killed all but one enemy and he was just waiting for me to come and get him. It was a Theron Guard, which is a tougher enemy. One big problem with the AI is when they are 'in cover' they simply don't care if you shoot them. For example when you are approaching the mansion, just as you exit the city, you fight a bunch of enemies that are on lower ground than you. If you stay up high, and duck behind the ledge enemies will run up to this wall and cover. At this point you can pop up and shoot down on them, and if they are still covering they will not respond. This is also true if you see part of their body exposed when they are covering.
One thing I found pointless was the big "bugs" that claw out of holes. These are the ones that you kill with the hammer of dawn. They seemed to be completely pointless in that they were never really that threatening.
So after writing this, it seems I have found a reoccurring theme in this game: inconsistency. The story line is mostly bad, but the ending is just so powerful it's out of place. The graphics are mostly incredible except for a couple places. The AI is very well done with the exception of the getting shot under cover bit.
I didn't play XBL so much, but from what I did play I experienced some lag, not bad, but it was there. Game play seemed heavily based on who could rush out and get the most powerful weapon first. This was usually the sniper rifle since, a head shot is an instant kill. The lag seemed to make shot guns pointless. Anytime you're in shot gun range you'll probably get chain sawed. The lag seemed to make your opponent be able to chainsaw you from a greater distance and in awkward positions.
So… Well this game is definitely worth a rent just to see what a graphical achievement it is. While it seems the only strong point is the graphics. The game play just didn't appeal to me. And because of this, the game is not worth sixty dollars to me.
On a final note, I would like to point out that I have only rented this game for five days and there for this review is probably not as complete as it should be. Read the other reviews, but if they point out on thing they do not like, remember that it is no longer, truly perfect.Updated
so after doing something, i wanted to clarify that the story of this game is not BAD, its just not at the level of Halo...
Also after talking to many people online i heard that the online is very difficult to get into because it is so complex.

One of Xbox 360's Best Title
by Lyndon on November 11, 2006
Pros: Awesome graphics, innovative gameplay, the cover system works well even in multiplayer. constant framerates, Intelligent AI,They don't just stand right in front of you and online coop multiplayer.
Cons: Cartoonish blood, the effects is good but still not believable. And the "A" button be annoying especially when facing a berserker. No multiplayer bot especially from the same company who gave us UT
Summary: If there's a Halo Killer, this should be it. The game is not a generic run and gun shooter, it's more like a Duck and Flank one. If ...
Summary: If there's a Halo Killer, this should be it. The game is not a generic run and gun shooter, it's more like a Duck and Flank one. If you like blood and gore just hold down the "B" button and you will get a plate full of carnage. And if you don't like your squad AI you can join/create a coop campaign online or off with your friends. Just like the old Xbox motto "It's good to play together".

Summary: Only one year in, the Xbox 360 has its Killer App. And I mean killer. Gears is probably the best game out there right now here in 2006-07. The game is so damn good that both my friends and I are trying not to hammer our way through to the credits. We've still clocked up over 15 hours of game time each, because we're milking this baby for all it's worth. The campaign is unusually short, but very entertaining if you start on the Hardcore level. Gears is one of those titles that arrives every couple of years and raises the bar so high that it almost spoils every game released in the following six months. Including the savoured Halo 3. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying Gears is perfect. But its annoyances are so quickly overwhelmed by the sheer brilliance of everything that it does right, you'll soon forget all about them. The visuals in Gears that were made by Epic are absolutely fantastic! Each of the 360's three CPU cores must be screaming in agony as they display the startling scenery that Epic beats out of them. The armour worn by warriors is comprised of an intricate patchwork of three dimensional plating. Characters are animated with a cohesive grace rarely seen in a video game; there's none of the awkward gaps between two different animations that we've all had to put up with until now. The ontrol scheme is different, but new and very comfy. The problem witht his though, is the A button. "Context-sensitive" is the new lens flare of controls; we've seen it in the streamlined movement of the latest Splinter Cell outing, and Gears follows this trend. The A button is the door to context-sensitive heaven. This single button allows you to run, to dodge, to jump over obstacles and even to move into a cover position. That's one busy little button. Sometimes you might get a little pissed at the game though, becuase you'll try and sprint but instead you end up taking covering, and throwing you're 360 controller down yelling " **************!" It may be a little hard to get used to for the oldschool FPS players. But it probably will take you about half-an-hour to master the scheme.
Now that we've covered the bad-stuff, lets head to the good. And there is lots of it.
While the levels aren't quite Battlefield 2-big, they're not far off. Unlike Battlefield's sparse deserts, this wide open, apocalyptic Earth is chock full of scenic delights, with dilapidated buildings, burnt-out cars and bloody corpses sprawling as far as the eye can see. The unreal engine 3 is just as capable of rendering enclosed areas, decorated with so many intricate features that it would make the Doom III engine blush. Large areas, small areas; this engine handles them both with a panache that would make John Carmack proud. A fe critics didn't like the games drab colour scheme, but if they were expecting a technicoloured rainbow in this game's apocalyptic setting, perhaps they'd be better off playing Viva Pinata.
This is where the gut-wrenching, cranium-exploding gameplay comes into its own. Gears is a pure-blooded shooter, so if you don't like these games, there's a good chance you won't like Gears. Hell, if you don't like shooters you're probably not even reading this review, so we can tease you about being the boring MMORPG nerd that you are, and tell you to go save some wood elves or some such. However, if you do like shooters, get ready for a serving of some of the most satisfying, bullet-riddled, epic gunplay you've ever had the joy of working your trigger finger out to.

Summary: If anyone is thinking of waiting until March for a PS3, in the UK then you must be mad. This game isn't even coming out on the Play station 3.
Next Gen gaming is here, it is now. It doesn't cost you £400 or make you wait until March. If you like shooters then do your self a favour and go and buy this game. You will not regret it.
The graphics and game play will blow you away. Halo looks like a kids game compared to this. The dark sombre atmosphere creates and ominous sense of danger and uncertainty, you never know what is going to jump out at you.
Sure the game may be completed in a day or two but don't play on easy. If you play on hard then you're going to have your work cut out to complete it. The online co-op play will make sure you won't be putting this game down for a long time.
GOW has certainly thrown down the gauntlet to the PS3 and other game manufacturers. Don't bother releasing another run of the mill shooter unless you compete with this.
Sorry PS3 people next generation gaming is well and truly here.

Summary: When I rented this game I was shocked at how washed out the graphics were. Everything is a basic color scheme of grey, beige and black with some orange hues. It's very difficult to tell who the enemies are when they are in hand to hand combat with your squad.
The controls are clunky, slow, and just plain tedious. The game play is very linear and predictable. It's pretty much an arcade game on steroids. I just don't get it.
I have been playing 1st and 3rd person shooters since 1994 and this game just doesn't stack up to the hype.

Approach: Park to the SW of the towers, right before the wash where the road turns back to the left (or southeast)... same as for Washer Woman. Park on the road, but pull off the side as far as possible. Park Rangers issued us a warning about parking off the road. Parking here gives you a view of the western sides of these towers. Head up a ridgeline right north of the parking and ascend the benches to the final talus slope. My recommendation is to head for the south end of Monster Tower and then traverse up and right around the tower to the east side just down from the notch separating the towers.

Yankees righthander CC Sabathia has had two stints on the disabled list this season, once in June with a groin strain, then again last week with an elbow injury that was originally defined as just "tightness". Clearly, the Yankees want to keep their ace ready and healthy for the postseason.
He's beginning work on coming back:
Sabathia said left elbow felt good after throwing off flat ground for first time since going on DL Sunday. Still expects to pitch Aug. 24.
— Dan Martin (@DanMartin_Post) August 16, 2012
So this DL stint will last the minimum time, 15 days; the previous one lasted a bit longer, from June 27 till right after the All-Star break. And yet, the Yankees keep going without their ace: they went 10-6 the first time he was on the DL, and since this stint began, they're 7-1 with about a week remaining until he pitches against the Indians.
Not fair, say the other teams, but the Yankees just keep on going.

The National Transportation Safety Board released its initial report Wednesday after four people died when a medical helicopter crashed in Clay County on Aug. 26.
There were no survivors on the LifeNet helicopter that was attempting to stop for fuel. A pilot, flight nurse, flight paramedic, and patient died in the crash.
According to the report, the helicopter sustained substantial damage when it impacted terrain during an autorotation following a loss of power near the Midwest National Air Center in Mosby, MO.
The emergency medical services equipped helicopter was registered to Key Equipment Finance, Inc., and operated by Air Methods Corporation, doing business as LifeNet in the Heartland, the report said.
The medical flight departed from the Harrison County Community Hospital, in Bethany, MO, about 6:11 p.m., and was en route to Midwest National Air Center to refuel. After refueling, the flight intended to depart and land at Liberty Hospital, which was located about 7 nautical miles from the Midwest National Air Center.
The report stated that the purpose of the air medical inter-facility transport flight was to transport a patient from the Harrison County Community Hospital to Liberty Hospital. The request was received by the company's communication center at 5:19 p.m. and the pilot was notified a minute later.
At 5:30 p.m., the pilot reported to the communication center that he departed from the helicopter's base at Rosecrans Memorial Airport, in St. Joseph. He reported that he lifted off with two hours of fuel and 3 persons onboard and was headed to Bethany, the report said.
Approximately 28 minutes later, the helicopter landed at the Harrison County Community Hospital helipad to pick up the patient.
While the helicopter was shut down on the helipad, the pilot contacted the company's communication center by telephone and notified them that about half way through the flight from Rosecrans Memorial Airport, he realized that he did not have as much fuel onboard as he originally thought, the report said.
According to the report, after a discussion about possible fueling and re-routing options, the pilot elected to stop en route at Midwest National Air Center for fuel, and then proceed to the Liberty Hospital helipad to drop off the patient.
The person, who was providing flight information at the company's communication center, informed the pilot that Liberty Hospital was 62 nautical miles, and that Midwest National Air Center was 58 nautical miles, respectively, the report said.
According to the report, about 6:11 p.m., the flight departed from the Harrison County Community Hospital helipad. About a minute later, the pilot contacted the company's communication center and reported that he had 45 minutes of fuel and 4 persons onboard and was en route to Midwest National Air Center.
He asked the flight follower at the company's communication center to contact the fixed base operator at Midwest National Air Center to let them know that the helicopter was inbound for fuel, the report said.
The report said at 6:41 p.m., the helicopter impacted a farm field about 1.7 nautical miles north-northeast of Midwest National Air Center. There was no postimpact fire.
At 5:54 p.m., the surface weather observation at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, located about 21 nautical miles southwest of the accident site, included wind 110 degrees at 6 knots, 10 miles visibility, clear sky, temperature at 31 degrees Celsius, dew point 13 degrees Celsius and an altimeter of 29.96 inches of Mercury.

Best Uses
Bought these on sale. They're quite fragile (a one-foot drop onto carpet broke one) but are otherwise well made. One thing I really don't like is the frosted glass inside, it really takes the enjoyment out of a tea's color, and you may as well just buy a porcelain cup.
If these cups were made without the frosted glass inside (and were completely clear) they'd be fantastic.
Overall, I would only recommend these to someone who really likes the style, because they're a bit thin (even for broscillate) and are otherwise very average.
I was a bit reluctant to pick these up from my local Teavana store, only because I've had trouble with some of their double-walled glass products. Thankfully, these have been great so far! I have no reason to knock any points from my rating because of it. If you are looking for a great way to present your tea, then I suggest you try these little beauties!

Reviews for Turkey Burgers with Mango Salsa
Sort By :
Okay, but too many bread crumbs (gave it a weird/dry texture) and the lemon was overpowering.
I made these last night and we thought they were tasty. Taste of Home Magazine just came out with their canning and preserving issue. On page 56 is a recipe for Raspberry-Onion Jalapeno Chutney. We used this as a condiment on the burgers. WOW, soooo good. If you don't preserve foods, you can cut the recipe by half and it keeps in the fridge for several days, or freeze some. It will also be our go to in place of cranberry out of the can at Thanksgiving. You would never know there was jalapeno's, next time I'll add more 'heat.'
I made this version but like our family recipe better.
It excludes the breadcrumbs, adds feta cheese, Powdered Italian Dressing Packet, Cup of soup Tomato and cooks well with a greased grill or grill top pan.
This was a great summer meal. The only problem was the burgers stuck to the grill even though we used Pam, so make sure your grill is well greased. Burgers were juicy and salsa was delicious. I also used fresh pineapple and Serrano pepper in it.
Very flavorful. I mixed an Italian seasoning with cream cheese for the garlic herb spread, and just sliced a Mango instead of Salsa. Still soooo good!

White House approves assassination of cleric linked to Christmas bomb plot
So now, having a kill list and foreign agents being run through an assassination program is 'a rare step' rather than an immoral policy decision which would have been greeted with howls of outrage if it was even considered, never mind casually announced in the press even a decade ago. Incitement, which isn't the whole story here – the US have wanted to go into Yemen since just before the staged underwear bombing – is still not a crime punishable by death.

Mark Tran, The Guardian
April 7, 2010
The Obama administration has taken the rare step of authorising the killing of a US citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric linked to the attempt to blow up a US airliner on Christmas Day.
The decision to place Awlaki on a US hit list followed a national security council review because of his status as an American citizen.
"Awlaki is a proven threat," a US official told Reuters. "He's being targeted."
Born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, Awlaki has been accused of encouraging terrorism in his sermons and writings. He is believed to be in hiding in Yemen's rugged Shabwa or Mareb regions, an area that has become a haven for jihadis. He has been linked to Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in November, and to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian charged with trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day.
It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an American to be approved for "targeted killing", officials told the New York Times. A former senior legal official in the Bush administration said he did not know of any American who was approved for targeted killing under the former president.
The decision to place Awlaki on a hit list took place this year, the paper said, as US counterterrorism officials judged he had moved beyond inciting attacks against the US — he has a large following among English-speaking Muslims — to participating in them.
"The danger Awlaki poses to this country is no longer confined to words," an official told the New York Times. "He's gotten involved in plots."
The policy of targeted killings is controversial. President Gerald Ford issued an executive order banning political assassinations in 1976. However, Congress approved the use of military force against al-Qaida after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. People on the target list are considered to be military enemies of the US and therefore not subject to the ban on political assassination.
In February, the director of national intelligence, Dennis Blairan, alarmed civil liberties groups when he told Congress that the US may, with executive approval, deliberately target and kill US citizens suspected of being involved in terrorism.
Under Obama's watch, the US has stepped up attacks on al-Qaida figures around the world from Somalia to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border through the use of Predator drones or other aircraft. The Pakistani government tacitly permits CIA-operated unmanned aircraft to target terrorist sites and militants up to 50 miles inside the country, and there have been reports of helicopter-borne raids into Pakistani territory.

A 53 year old woman who jumped to her death from a 15 story building in the heart of Beverly Hills last week has been identified.
The L.A. county coroner's office identified her as Sandra Nicole D'Auriol, 53, of Hong Kong.
Several streets in the so called "golden triangle" area of Beverly Hills were brought to a standstill last Wednesday, Jan. 22 when the woman stood and sat naked on the roof of a medical building at 414 Camden Drive for several hours, and then finally jumped to her death.
Crisis negotiators attempted to talk the woman down, but were unsuccessful.
Sources in the medical community say the woman had been staying overnight at the medical facility after having undergone a facelift the day before in the office of Dr. Brian Novack.
The woman reportedly became agitated early Wednesday morning, pulling off her gown and then escaping to the roof.
Novack's office would not comment on the incident, which is still under investigation. An autopsy on D'Auriol has not yet been performed.

From Barnes & Noble
Others might ignore the so-called "Private School Murders" or merely read the headlines, but Tandy Angel has no such luxury. For one thing, the first victims of this serial killer were her parents. And now her brother is being accused of his girlfriend's homicide and a student at her own elite school has just joined the growing list of victims. A fast-breaking thriller by the master of the genre. (P.S. The first novel in James Patterson and Maxine Paetro's series is now in mass-market paperback and NOOK Book: Confessions of a Murder Suspect, 9780316207003, $10.00; 9780316207010; $8.89.)

One of the main advantages of using a hi-voltage mike amplifier rather than a 48V phantom powered version is that it provides an extended dynamic headroom of 10dB more. Another major benefit is that the signal path in the HMA5000 is completely transformerless, allowing a frequency range from 10 Hz to 100 kHz (-1 dB).
The DPA HMA5000 can be used to power DPAs hi-voltage microphones including the 4003 and 4004 omnidirectional mics, the 4012 cardioid and 4016 wide cardioid, and the 4041-S omnidirectional solid state and 4041-T omnidirectional tube mics. By using the HTP4000 adaptor, the HMA5000 can also be used with ordinary 48V phantom powered microphones.
"Together with one of our hi-voltage microphones, the HMA5000 provides the most serious signal path from sound source directly to track," says DPA area manager and Tonmeister Mikkel Nymand, who assisted with the product specifications by listening to his clients requirements for a new mic amp. "With an impressive frequency range from 10Hz to 100kHz (+0dB/-1dB) and an extremely wide dynamic range of 140dB, the HMA5000 carries the clean and undistorted microphone pickup through the amplification link without any disturbance–the finest challenge for a mike amp."
The HMA5000 supplies 130V to the microphones built-in preamplifiers, providing excellent SPL handling capability. Features include state-of-the-art, low-noise Analog Devices amplifiers in the input stages and independently switchable gain in 10dB increments on each channel input corresponding to a maximum input voltage of 0.5 -160V peak. The phase can be reversed on both channels individually, and crosstalk attenuation is better than 90 dB measured with any gain setting.
The HMA5000 is designed for use close to the microphones to keep cables as short as possible. However as it features both electronically balanced and single ended line-level outputs, the HMA5000 s impedance converters can drive up to 300m (984ft) of microphone cable when required. Insensitive to vibration, it will withstand mechanical shock and is well suited for placement on the stage or the studio floor.
Besides being a microphone amplifier, HMA5000 is a comprehensive microphone power supply unit with 130V for the hi-voltage microphone preamplifiers, 190V for capsule polarisation and 6V for heater voltage in the 4041-T tube microphone.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Louisville Metro Police Department has agreed to pay $700,000 to the family of a woman who was killed in a car accident involving an off-duty LMPD officer.
Sources say settlement of the lawsuit, which was filed by the family of 22-year-old Sarah Bearden, avoids a costly trial that would be difficult for both sides, and protect's Bearden's family from having to re-live the painful turn of events.
Police say that, in May 2010, a car driven by Bearden and a vehicle driven by off-duty police officer James Adams collided in the intersection of Hurstbourne Pkwy. and Headley Hill.
Adams was off duty at the time.
Records showed that Bearden had been drinking, but the family claimed Adams' reckless driving was the real cause of her death. Her family says Bearden had drank only one glass of wine the night of the crash.
"There is evidence that Sarah Bearden had been drinking," family attorney Char Gardner told WDRB previously. "But alcohol did not kill Sarah Bearden. Speed killed Sarah Bearden."
The family's attorneys tell us LMPD had taken a blood alcohol sample, but the department lost it.
A Louisville Metro Police investigation revealed that Adams was speeding at 80 mph in a 45 mph zone.
In a letter to the Bearden family, Adams admits he was speeding and says he understands that played a role on in the 22-year-old's death.
Adams writes: "I was traveling at a speed that made me (contributorily) negligent when Sarah's vehicle turned out in front of me."
He goes to say "I will never forget this accident and Sarah's unnecessary, untimely death. It is a memory which will probably haunt me throughout my lifetime."
County Attorney Mike O'Connell, who represents the Police Department, released this statement: "Both sides have weighed the facts of the case and we have come to a mutually satisfactory resolution."
Following the accident, the police department suspended Adams for 30 days without pay and he lost his take-home car privileges.
Then Police Chief, Robert White publicly said he wanted Adams to be fired, but that never happened.
Officer Adams is still employed by Metro Police.

I just got off the phone with my parents. We talked about the storm that is about to hit the gulf coast almost three years to the day that Katrina struck—almost three years to the day that the unstable levees broke, spilling water onto the streets, engulfing the city, leaving my parents' home and so many others ruined and drowning thousands of New Orleanians. Most of our time on the phone was spent in silence because, really, what do you say at a moment like this?
While I am comforted by the knowledge that my mom and dad are ok and their home is on safer, higher ground than last time, there was really nothing we had to say to one another that would induce comfort. There is a clear line drawn in all New Orleanians: the time before the storm and the time after the storm. There is no way to view this storm except through the lens of Katrina. There is no way to view this moment except with the knowledge of the manmade failures—in the shape of faulty levees, diverted funds, poor planning before and abandonment after the city of New Orleans was underwater. This is after. We have no trust that still inadequate levees will protect our city. We have no trust that our government will step in to help our city, our neighbors, our friends.
At least once a week, I answer the question of how New Orleans is doing. Typically, it is to someone I have just met. They will have just asked where I am from, and after I tell them, they pause.
"Oh," they say solemnly. "Then, do you know people who were affected by–"
"Yes, I do."
"I'm sorry."
Then they'll ask how the city is now. And what I do–what I have to and feel obligated to do–is tell the truth.
I tell them that I was in New Orleans in October of 2006, a year after I helped my mom and dad remove our sopping wet, ruined possessions from our home, and that it looked like nothing had been done.
I tell them the city is coming back but slowly. There is not enough help or support. There is not enough money coming in. I tell them that the outpouring of help from generous everyday citizens from around the country who have come to help has been amazing, but that this is not their responsibility and they cannot do it alone. It is our government's responsibility to its citizens and to a city of historical and cultural significance. And our government does not seem to care enough.
I tell them that although the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina revealed to all of us what deep class and racial divides still exist very obviously in our country, there is total denial now about those problems. I tell them that New Orleans has changed, and that many of it's low-income African-American residents have been unable to return because of lack of support and bureaucracy that wants to keep them out instead of invite them home. I tell them the city council voted unanimously to tear down over 4,000 public housing units that were not damaged by the storm in a time when the estimated homeless count in New Orleans is over 12,000. This homeless count does not count people who are doubled and tripled up in apartments because the rents are staggering and they still haven't recovered from losing everything.
I know that the truth is not always what people what to hear. I know that telling the truth may sometimes make me a downer in the conversation. However, I am unwilling to put on a positive spin to reassure people or to pretend that things are better than they are. I have needed to tell the truth because I felt like people needed to know how things really were so they would put pressure on their officials to do something, to support New Orleans.
I am grieved by the lack of responsibility, accountability and support from my national government to my city. I am grieved because I know that Louisiana legislators repeatedly asked for funding to repair and rebuild the levees. I am grieved because I know that money slated to go to repair levees was diverted to the war in Iraq, an unjust war that I protested against.
And now, I am grieved once again because I see Gustav headed towards my city, and I know that the levees are not prepared. I know that many people have just moved into the houses that they finally have rebuilt, in large part from their own hard work, hard-earned money and dedication. I know that just a few days ago, there was a memorial service for those unknown persons who were victims of the storm, and I fear the lack of attention means there will be more lives lost. I know that there is the potential not only that New Orleans will be further destroyed but that it will once again be abandoned by our government. And I know that it did not have to be this way.

We need a high school
If we pass the Clover bond referendum, we will never have any public facilities here. And we need something to hold meetings and public forums and events in! A Lake Wylie High School is something everybody in Lake Wylie needs! A small local high school would be a place for all of us to use, even the retired people who dont have kids.
The aquatics center will be nice, but we wont be able to hold meetings there. Now theres no place for people to get together except for churches and those are always busy. For a community the size of ours without any public facilities is crazy.

Anderson Cooper Kicks "Human Barbie" Off Show, Calls Her "Dreadful" [VIDEO]
Anderson Boots Human Barbie Sarah Burge From Show
Anderson Cooper is not a fan of the "Human Barbie," kicking her off of his talk show.
You may recall Sarah Burge, the woman known as the "Human Barbie," who had tons of plastic surgery to alter her appearance and is planning the same for her daughter?
Turns out Anderson Cooper wasn't having any of her nonsense, calling her "dreadful."
Read: Human Barbie Gives 8 Year-Old Voucher for Liposuction
Cooper puts up with a lot of crazy guests, but it seems he draws the line with Burge, who made headlines for giving her 7-year-old a boob job voucher.
He does allow her to explain the method to her madness, which is, in fact, madness.
Burge explains that her 15-year-old daughter wanted to get Botox because she didn't want to sweat on stage. Her argument? "You wouldn't see Beyonce sweating on the stage," she explained.
Cooper notes, "Actually you do, yeah."
While Burge may believe she has the best intentions for her kids, rather than them finding a "voodoo witch doctor" to do the procedure, Cooper says, "Right... Um..." before adding, "I honestly have nothing more to talk to you about."
And that's when he gave her the boot, explaining, "I try to be really polite to all my guests. I just think you're dreadful, and I honestly don't want to talk to you anymore."
Then off she goes, muttering all the way.
Seriously though, can Cooper come up with some better guests than Human Barbie and Toddlers & Tiaras divas and their moms?

Time to tweak the show a bit and step away from the crazies just for the talk show shock value, Mr. Cooper.
