Bill Press Falsely Claims Obama Created More Jobs in 20 Months Than Bush Did in Eight Years
Bill Press this weekend said Barack Obama has created more jobs in the past 20 months than George W. Bush did in his entire eight years in office.
As readers will see from the actual data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Press's comments made on the "McLaughlin Group" were so false it's laughable (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MONICA CROWLEY: You have a very chronically high unemployment rate. You have a president who looked like right after the trillion dollar stimulus he checked out on the jobs issue. When you talk about compromise, there's nothing in this man's character…
BILL PRESS: 3.2 billion [sic] jobs…
CROWLEY: …or political temperament to suggest moderation.
BILL PRESS: …created by the stimulus. You can't ignore it. You may want to ignore it. It's a, he created more jobs...
CROWLEY: He blew a trillion dollars to no affect.
PRESS: My turn. He's created more jobs in 20 months than George Bush did in eight years.
Really Bill? Why don't we look at the facts.
According to the BLS's Establishment Survey, there were 132.4 million nonfarm workers in America in January 2001. When Bush left office in January 2009, this number was 133.5 million - a 1.3 million increase.
As just released last Friday, this number is now 130.5 million - a 3 million decrease since Obama was inaugurated.
According to the BLS's Household Survey, there were 137.8 million total workers in January 2001. This number was 142.2 million in January 2009, a 4.4 million increase.
As just released last Friday, this number is now 139.1 million - a 3.1 million decrease since Obama was inaugurated.
As such, depending on which survey you look at, Bush's job creation in his eight years was either 1.3 million or 4.4 million. Both surveys show job losses under Obama at basically 3 million.
Press was either blatantly lying about these numbers or shamefully ignorant.
Of course, what can we expect from a man who just two months ago predicted that Nancy Pelosi would be partying on election night while John Boehner's office would be a morgue?
But on a more serious note, one of the finest weekly political talk shows for decades has been the "McLaughlin Group." Indeed, some of the brightest minds in the game are regularly John's guests.
Bill Press is not someone that should ever be on this program for he is shamelessly partisan and just like this weekend quite often clueless about the facts.
For the integrity of this fine weekly staple, McLaughlin's schedulers really ought to remove Press's name from their Rolodexes.

From my column:
For those who haven't seen The McLaughlin Report, the usual format is as follows:
Host John McClaughlin poses a question. He then directs it to Newsweek's Eleanor Clift for a response. Clift uses her allotted minute to state her opinion-as-fact then bloviates for an additional minute. McLaughlin calls on Monica Crowley of Fox News to offer her opinion. Approximately four words into her reply, Clift rudely interrupts, descending like a shrieking pterodactyl and attacking Crowley. The best moment of the show then ensues, when McLaughlin not-so-politely tells Clift to shut up and let someone else in.
Listen to the first couple of seconds of sound on the clip above, what do you hear - the shrill of the harpy and McL telling her to shutup as ususal. . .

It's been so long, but I think it was Pat Buchanan who said I think on "Crossfire" to Bill Press' face that he should remind people more often that he (Press) ran for public office in eight or nine elections and lost every race.

And, it sustains a military whose protection of this nation is an incalculable asset.

For example, there are millions who don't benefit directly from a cut in the capital gains rate because they don't own any capital assets. Is it therefore stupid for the reduction to be labeled a "tax break" or "tax relief" because a big chunk of the public isn't affected by it?

If you're sitting in an F-15 which is developing a problem with shedding wings, how "cost effective" is stopping production of the F-22 at 187 planes? If/when the Soviets, er, Russians come out with their own version of the F-22, what will be the response of the "wise and cost effective" crowd? And the F-35 is not in the same league. How wise is the decision to "rebuild" M1A1 Abrams tanks, because the production line was shut down?
Sen. McCain, R-Irrelevance, said the F-22, hasn't dropped a single bomb in Afghanistan. Typical, short-sighted response from a former Mud Mover.

Nonsense. In Operation
Submitted by Jer on Mon, 11/08/2010 - 4:51pm.
Nonsense. In Operation Desert Storm, the Iraqi air defense included 16,000 SAMs. They were able to bring down ONE F-15E, which lacks the stealth technology possessed by the Raptor. [By the way, there has never been an F-15 lost in air-to-air combat.] Even later model SAMs are not a serious threat to the F-22, especially in performance of its primary role of air superiority fighter.

For its air-to-ground role, the F-22 can internally carry two 1,000 pound-class Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM), two AIM-120C, and two AIM-9 missiles.

technology provides protection against both radar-guided and heat-seeking SAMs.
Launches of air and sea-based
cruise missiles and the use of stealth aircraft (F-117s against Baghdad and Belgrade and
B-2s against Belgrade) knocked out the most dangerous and heavily defended command
and control facilities. This made the skies over enemy territory safe enough for
formations of non-stealthy attack planes with HARM-carrying and radar-jamming
I'm aware of electronic counter measures, stealth is better.
Again you skip the need for stealth, in the next generation of aircraft and cling to the use the F-15 a 38 year old AIRCRAFT. Looks like (from your link) as they can't dodge SAM's after all...

Not one of your favorite sites..
When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska's Elmendorf Air Force Base last month, the unit there parked a shiny new F-22 fighter plane in the hangar. But according to multiple sources, White House aides demanded the plane be changed to an older F-15 fighter because they didn't want Obama speaking in front of the F-22, a controversial program he fought hard to end.
So now what do ya think?
The "cost" has been the clarion squeeking of the left for years and years and yearrrrs.
Testing testing.....Aircraft fun facts : Bombers
Why was the B-58 Hustler such a huge success/or dud?
Hint: The pod
And now the trick Question...
Did F-111 perform as sold to the American peeps?
Hint: "Armpit Inlet" issues.
An installation of this type is often referred to as an "armpit" inlet. The spike automatically translates fore and aft as the Mach number changes. Although not evident in the photograph, the throat area of the Inlet also varies with Mach number. This is accomplished by expansion and contraction of the rear part of the spike.
Humm is that a good thing?
Oh and why is the really old and really tired, (pre B-58's era) the ancient B-52's,and the brand new B-2's still in use?
Hint: Still works
It's kinda cool that "Soviet" terminology is still used, with regards to SAM's. years after the data dump h/t loreal, don't you think just maybe SAM's have improved to the point, that maybe stealth is, ahem ain't so much...
Ok exit question: Why on earth does stealth work? Or why does it work at all..how long will it work, will there ever be countermeasures?

ucw...The B-58
Submitted by Jer on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 1:59am.
The B-58 Hustler would have to be considered a dud--even though it was revered those who flew it--but its very brief service tenure certainly didn't justify the investment. My recollection is that the cost of operation was enormous, both in terms of maintenance demands and excessive fuel consumption. Its performance was indeed impressive, at least in terms of speed and altitude--I think it was capable of 1,358 mph. The pod issue: I'm not so sure. It may be that it had to be jettisoned before the ordinance could be released. Or maybe it negatively imjpacted aerodynamics. But those are guesses..
The F-111 did not perform as advertised. It was a variable trajectory wing fighter/bomber which was supposed to allow enhanced performance in a variety of roles, but I believe it was ultimately most suitable only for reconaissance purposes. But, you've stumped me on the "armpit" inlet thing.
The B-52 has been in continuous service since about 1955, succeeding the B-47 as the premier strategic bomber of the USAF. It has been incredibly successful because it is very simply one hell of an airplane. It can carry a massive payload of conventional or nuclear weaponry over vast distances. It can also be utilized as a stand-off platform for cruise missile delivery. It's psychological impact can't be overestimated as was proved time and again in Vietnam. With continued upgrades and improvements, it will probably be around for another thirty years or so.
The B-2 is a valuable asset because of range and stealth technology. It could take off from a base in Kansas, fly to Kosovo, deliver its payload without being detected and then fly back to its base in the states the same day.
Stealth works because of the special materials used inconstruction which because of composition and color do not reflect radio waves like traditional airframes. Also the design contours are softened and curved so that there are no sharp angles which would cause a larger and more detectable "signature" or radar screens. And yes there will eventually be countermeasures which could compromise the utility of stealth. But there will then be counter-countermeasures to keep us ahead of the game.

Jer, The B-58 was designed for one purpose.
Submitted by upcountrywater on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 5:05pm.
to deliver the H-bomb pod, it never worked.
F-111 armpit inlets, starved it's engines on sharp turns.
The ICBM replaced the need for the B-58, and also the later XB-70.
The B-2 is subsonic, the round trip from Kansas to Kosovo and back is something like 30 hours.
Flying in pairs on a 30-hour round-trip mission from Whiteman Air Force Base in farm country 60 miles southeast of Kansas City, the B- 2s smashed Yugoslav command bunkers, radar installations, communications sites, bridges, arms factories and other heavily defended targets. The aircraft is refueled in the air twice on the way there and twice on the return leg.
Stealth works because there is noise filling the universe with back ground radation. If there was no big bang left over noise, there would be no stealth. Stealth is not 100% all aircraft reflect some radar noise, some more than others.

DOD announces that over 34,000 sorties have been flown (2,500 today), with 19 tactical air strikes and 5 B-52 strikes totalling 600 sorties on Republican Guard fortifications along the Saudi Arabian-Kuwaiti border. 300 sorties targeted Iraqi armor and infantry postions along the border. Also, 278 TOMAHAWK cruise missiles launched to-date.
Come on flight plan of all aircraft sorties way back in 90's public knowledge yet? Just when you'd want to depend on some squishy likiwiki site... sad.. come on that's 20 yrs ago..
And no one is interested in landing on the moon, 50 tons into lunar orbit, 1969, la de da....Go for it commie china, bet ya can't pull it off...50 tons into lunar orbit....
On second thought, It should be kept secret.
Even tho it's 20/41 yrs later, it's still one of a kind, as in first place. Let them re-invent the wheel...Ya know that EPA free country that has 50+ something capital crimes...freedom to whip out those slide rules, opps here come the organ harvesting death vans, humm maybe not..

Check again Ace. I know very well the F-22 wasn't operational at the time of Desert Storm and I stated nothing by which you could have reasonably inferred that I thought otherwise. My point was the ineffectiveness of the SAMs against the highly efficient but comparatively less sophisticated F-15, and the unlikely threat that later model SAMs will pose to the Raptor.
Look, I'm a fan of the F-22. It is without question the top performing, most technologically advanced fighter in the history of aviation. I wish we could afford a thousand of them. But we can't--even with the largest military budget of any nation in the world. There are an array of new weapons systems which we need, and old ones we need to upgrade and maintain, keeping in mind the assymetrical threats we currently face and are likey to face for the foreseeable future. We have to make rational choices.

Has yet to prove its mettle aginst the SU-37 Berkut and its successors. The F-15 has been flown against most everything else in the 'other' inventory successfully except the latest SU series and their various Chicomm copies and derivatives. We can draw conclusions about the F-22 relative to these platforms. The SU-37 as a foe is untried.

As far as I can tell from the article I referenced earler in Combat Aircraft monthly, the Berkut isn't even scheduled for basing in the foreseeable future. Plus those screwy forward swept wings are still problematic aerodynamically.
The Russians will be principally relying on MiG-29 variants, SU-27 upgrades and MiG-31s for the time being. The Raptor would blow them away. And frankly I would still put my money on the F-15 and F/A-18s flown by our better-trained pilots against any of them.

Not very many of these other weapons systems will matter if we lose air superiority. The F-22 is priority numbero uno. There also needs to be an F-22N. The F/A-18 E is not a long term solution. The JSF F-35 is not an air superiority solution.

Submitted by Jer on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 3:33am.
I think every effort will be made to keep the F-35 program going forward. Althouh the US is by far the most significant underwriter of the project, there are too many other nations who have a stake in its future, financially and strategically, for it to be scrapped at this point.
But, I will say this: I have never been a strong advocate of multi-role fighters. Put simply, it inevitably produces a "jack of all trades, master of none" scenario which has plagued similar efforts in prior decades. Even though the F-22 will have ground attack capability, it is designed first and foremost as an air dominance fighter--and as NL notes, it is without peer.
So, if it were up to me, I would cut back on the projected production numbers of the F-35 with a corresponding increase from the present number--what is it, 187?--of F-22s. Although the Raptor hasn't been in actual combat yet, nevertheless its quality and capabilities are a known quantity. The same can't be said for the F-35.

I offered no opinion on the F-35. As a matter of principle, I am disinclined to favor this aircraft. Anything known as 'Joint Strike Fighter' is clearly being designed for too many different and conflicting rolls to be cost effective at any one of them. I am old enough to recall another aircraft touted as the universal solution : the TFX, Robert McNamara's solution to every air combat problem and any budget surplus all rolled into one. This white elephant eventually became the Airforce's F-111. The Navy version was thankfully cancelled.

One F-15E?

I think that the family of Cdr. Scott Speicher would disagree, vehemently, with you, Jer. He piloted an F/A-18 and was shot down on the first day of the air war, I believe. By a SAM.
And, from what I've read, there was certainly more than one U.S. aircraft shot down during ODS.

Submitted by Jer on Fri, 11/12/2010 - 3:56am.
I guess I didn't make my point clearly. There were a number of different aircraft shot down in ODS, mostly by SAMs. The majority of jet fighters lost were F-16s, although that was due primarily to the F-16 flying the most sorties.
In support of my argument for the possible continuation of the F-15 Eagle as an alternative to the further production of the better performing but enormously expensive F-22--and also as a rebuttal to ucw's reference to the threat of SAMs--I noted that only one F-15 had been brought down by a SAM during the entire course of Desert Storm hostilities, despite the fact that Iraqi air defenses had approximately 16,000 SAMs available [I believe there was a second F-15 lost to conventional AAA.]
So, again, the point wasn't that planes weren't lost to SAMs. It was that only one of them was an F-15.

Slaying of US Ambassador in Libya Part of 'Terrorist Attack,' Accountability Review Board Appointed
Posted Sep 20, 2012 5:06 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
The slaying of the U.S. ambassador to Libya, along with three others, at the consulate in Benghazi earlier this month, was part of a "terrorist attack," a White House press secretary told reporters Thursday.
Also today, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced the appointment of an Accountability Review Board to look into the attack, the New York Times reports.
It will be led by Thomas R. Pickering, a former under secretary of state. A website for the Council on Foreign Relations details his extensive diplomatic background.

Tubs with various colors of frosting, large boxes of sugar cookies, candies for decorations, paper towels, a wash basin and decorating tips of all kinds were scattered about on the paper-covered table at the Rozsa Pavilion.
This was in anticipation of children and adults converting a delicious, plain sugar cookie into a smiley sunshine cookie, an Angry Bird and an almost authentic looking hamburger with all the trimmings - all as part of the Jefferson County Fair Cookie Decorating Contest.
The event has been sponsored by Wintersville Kroger for 20 years, and Linda Chivers, bakery and deli manager, has been the patient instructor throughout. It isn't always easy to get children to save the candy decorations doled out to them to place atop cookies, considering they like to sample a few first.

Jacob Ramsey, 2, son of Daniel and Heather Ramsey of Toronto, thinks the candy corn needed to make a smiley-face sunshine cookie is too good to pass up. He did put the finishing touches of black grinning mouth, nose and eyes on the cookie with Hasley's help.
-- Esther McCoy
Amber Waggoner decorates two sugar cookies to show what the finished product will look like. She has been helping Linda Chivers with the decorating classes for many years.
Chivers also cautioned when the frosting tub and a spatula were passed around that there was to be no licking of the spatula or putting a finger into the frosting for a taste.
She passed around a bottle of hand sanitizer, telling the children that it was necessary to clean their hands before handling food.
The name of each child was given and then Chivers asked if anyone knew her name, as many were repeaters from previous years in the cookie decorating segment. More than half knew who she was - the famous cookie lady.
The wonderful thing about the contest is that each child left the pavilion with their two decorated cookies, a bag of chips and a soft drink. Coveted blue ribbons were presented to each contestant, and this writer took one away with pride - cookie decorating wasn't as hard as I had imagined it to be over the years. Chivers' persistence prevailed, and I decided to take the decorating plunge, with my grandchildren, Jessie and Matthew, and son, Jay, as supporters.
These two sugar cookie recipes are not ones from Chivers' recipe box but from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. One recipe is for rolled and cutout cookies, and the other is a drop cookie recipe.
This is a simple version of sugar cookies. Instead of rolling out the dough and cutting into shapes, the dough is formed into balls, rolled in sugar and popped into the oven, according to Better Homes and Gardens recipe authors.
Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/3 cups coarse sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 1/2 cups sugar, beat until combined. Beat in eggs, cream of tartar, baking soda, vanilla and salt until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the electric mixer. Stir in remaining flour and combine well. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in coarse sugar to coat. Place cookie balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Makes about 48 cookies.
The rolled and cutout cookie recipe has suggestions on how to achieve cookie perfection:
Work half of the dough at a time, keeping the other half in the refrigerator.
Cover the rolling pin with a fabric stockinette. Excess flour toughens dough, so use only the minimum amount.
Dip cookie cutter in flour each time it is used to prevent the dough from sticking.
Transfer cookies to a cookie sheet using a wide metal spatula.
Bake similar-size cookies together to prevent overbrowning of the smaller ones.
Here is the recipe for the crisp cookies that are good either iced or plain.
Sugar Cookie Cutouts
2/3 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as possible with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. If necessary, cover and chill for about 30 minutes or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll half the dough at a time until it reaches 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are barely light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. If desired, frost with the following icing that has no butter or fat. Makes about 36 cutouts.
Powder Sugar Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon milk or orange juice
Extra milk
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing reaches drizzling consistency. Use food coloring, if desired.
Note: To make candy windowpane cutouts, place dough cutouts on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Cut small shapes out of the cutout centers. Finely crush 3-ounces hard candy, about 1/2 cup. Lifesavers are good to use, only don't mix the flavors.
Fill each center with candy. Bake as directed. Cool on the foil and remove when the cookies are able to be handled. Store tightly covered as they can get sticky.

Sunderland lifeboat launched twice in one day
Volunteers from Sunderland RNLI Station took part in two rescue missions yesterday. The lifeboat's first launch happened shortly after 3:06pm after being alerted by an emergency 999 call from a member of the public concerned that a dinghy or catamaran had capsized.
After the Lifeboat had been recovered, cleaned and refuelled the crew at Sunderland launched a second time at 5.43pm, this time to a vessel that had broken down off Hendon beach.
The boat and the five males on board were brought back to Sunderland marina safely under tow.
This afternoon is a real testament to the commitment of the volunteers at Sunderland RNLI but also to the continued support we have received as a charity from the people of Sunderland, it is that support which allows us to continue saving lives in Sunderland.

By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
DULUTH, Ga. (AP) - Bart Bryant and David Frost topped the first-round leaderboard Friday in the Champions Tour's rain-delayed Greater Gwinnett Championship.
The start of play was delayed four hours by rain. There were 57 players still on the TPC Sugarloaf course when the round was suspended because of darkness. Bryant completed a 4-under 68, and Frost was 4 under with five holes left.
The first round will be completed Saturday morning, followed by the second round.
The 50-year-old Bryant is a rookie on the Champions Tour who was away from golf for three years due to two surgeries on his left wrist.
Frost, the Toshiba Classic winner last month in California, has finished in the top 10 in each of his five events this season.
Six players were 3 under, including Duffy Waldorf and Neal Lancaster, who completed their rounds.

Centereach, NY, February 17, 2012 - Dawnwood Middle School received a $2,000 grant from Cablevision for their role in encouraging students to go online and sign the Power to Learn Delete Cyberbullying pledge. The check was presented to Principal Linda Peyser, who accepted on behalf of the school. Brookhaven Councilwoman Kathleen Walsh recognized students for their commitment and spoke about the potential consequences of online bullying.
View Slide Show >>
Schools from throughout Cablevision's tri-state service area were invited to participate in the Delete Cyberbullying pledge drive, with 10 schools - including Dawnwood Middle School - declared winners for producing the most signatures. More than 40,000 students signed the pledge, with 29,015 pledges coming from the winning schools.
"Cyberbullying is a growing challenge facing young people today and the consequences can be devastating. Perhaps the best way to combat this problem is to have students themselves speak out against it," said Councilwoman Walsh. "I commend Cablevision's Power to Learn for this innovative program that engages students and is sure to have a positive effect on others."

Piles of cans were loaded on the back of a pick-up truck in Kearney as donations exceeded expectations.
The Kearney Young Professionals Network teamed up with the Kearney Area Animal Shelter to collect canned food for shelter dogs and cats.
"I went into the shelter and just kind of talked to Jaime and the staff to see what's the biggest need, what's the best way that YPN could partner with them. And she actually gave us the idea for the canned food drive," said YPN member Shandra Daffer.
"Canned food is a huge expense for the shelter. We have a contract with Science Diet to get our dry food for a cut cost," said Kearney Area Humane Society worker Jamie Jensen. "That can food is really expensive so we end up spending about $6,000 a year just on food alone for the pets. I told them that would be great to do a canned food drive for the animals and I never expected the results that we got today."
The number of donations when above and beyond expectations.
"I had no idea, I thought maybe the bottom of the truck would be covered and that's about it," said Jensen.
"I'm extremely surprised! Not surprised by how giving our Kearney community is," exclaimed Daffer.
"With the canned food drive it really helps us that we can make a little meatball, maybe they're a little scared when they come in, it's a new environment to them," said Jensen.
So far they brought in about 2,500 cans and one animal was even adopted at the event.

Get early bird discount for enrollment up to June 6!
We are inviting you to find out more about our leading education method at our open house!
Photo collection from High/Scope events, click picture to enlarge and right click to save images to your computer
More pictures »
The high school program started in July 2007 using a credit system that implements the Indonesian curriculum presently Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (Education Unit Curriculum) and incorporates that with the High/Scope curriculum (which supports dynamic and interactive educational practices).
High/Scope Indonesia aims to focus on the process of learning and not only the output where students just follow, memorize and pass exams. We treat students as human beings who are able to think, comprehend, understand, manage, and lead in these challenging times of the twenty first century.
The High/Scope High School program offers programs that can accommodate both the Indonesian diploma – for those who want to continue their education in state or private universities in Indonesia – and the High/Scope high school diploma for those who want to study abroad. English and Indonesian are the languages of instruction in High/Scope High School. This program affirms our belief that children learn in real life situations; our internship program offers students opportunities to experience real life situations with the full support of their teachers and counselors with whom they meet and discuss their experiences each day during the advisory. High/Scope High School opens the way for students to experience college while they continue their high school studies, in addition to Advanced Placement (AP), a program of credit for college-level studies pursued while still in high school. The AP provides students with a program of studies providing access to advanced placement and credit at universities, especially in North America. High/Scope's thoroughly researched credit and grading system ensures that all students have equal choices and opportunities to succeed.
The Western region
covers institutions in California and Hawaii, the territories of Guam,
American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau,
Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, the Pacific Basin, and
East Asia, and areas of the Pacific and East Asia where
American/International schools or colleges may apply to it for service.

Lions hit injury crisis before Tuesday's Andover derby
Updated 3:27pm Monday 3rd March 2014 in Football By Sports editor Kerry Miller
Andover Lions have been hit with an injury crisis with just 48 hours before their Andover League Open Cup semi-final with rivals Andover Town.
Team captain John Robb is struggling with a foot injury after being caught by a horror tackle in the New Inn match last week and Dean Smith is rated as unlikely with an ankle injury, Brad Craney, could be out with a shoulder injury again picked up against New Inn and Ryan Steele is still suffering with a dead leg that has kept him out of the last two games. Leading scorer Dan Reynolds is currently working in Geneva and it is not clear whether he will be returning in time to face Andover Town and with Matt Scott joining neighbours Whitchurch United before kicking a ball for the Lions and Reece Rusher moving to Winchester City the' team is now likely to look very different to team what manager Ray Cozze would have liked to have picked.
Meanwhile the persistent rain has out the derby game on Tuesday in some doubt as the pitch at the Portway was saturated this morning meaning Sparsholt College's National U18 Torphy semi-final this afternoon was hastily rearranged for the 3G pitch at Southampton University, Wide Lane Eastleigh.
The town of Andover will be represented in the final at the Ricoh Arena Coventry on Friday March 14 as they easily got past Stanmore College 4-1. Report here later.

I have been reading that Monta has had issues with Lee and that is the reason that we may be trading Ellis. That is a mistake. David Lee is simply not the talent that Monta Ellis is. I can live with Monta is traded if we can get very an equally dynamic player in return. If we trade him for scrap to make things more comfortable for Lee and easier for Mark Jackson, we are making a huge mistake.
David Lee is a hard working player but all of his skills are replaceable. He has no low post game and is an above average rebounder. He has a mid-range jumper. He is a poor defender. He is greatly overpaid and was a huge reach when we signed him.
Monta is a dynamic scorer, can create his own shot, and can get to the line. He has a reasonable contract. He is unconventional but he is at least a 6th man on a title contending team. He has a huge heart and I think can be coached to be a great team player and better defender.
Monta's skill level is unique and will be hard to replace. David Lee is a dime a dozen.
People are going to say that David Lee is not tradeable. This is not true. We could maybe trade with (with other players) for Boozer, Gay, etc. and then draft a replacement for Lee.
Tell me what you think.

Note: Men's Halfpipe Finals will be aired LIVE on NBC Wednesday night, beginning approximately at 10:15 p.m. ET.
The United States will look to continue its dominance in Snowboard Men's Halfpipe Wednesday night, one of the more fun (and definitely the most gnarly) events at the Winter Olympics.
America has won six of the nine medals since the sports' inception at the 1998 Nagano Games, including a podium sweep in 2002, and both gold and silver in 2006. They have positioned themselves nicely to repeat that Turin performance tonight in Vancouver, with a pair of Americans advancing to the finals in the first and third positions.
The defending gold medalist, Shaun White, has safely advanced to the finals with the highest score in qualifying, a 45.8. Fellow American Louie Vito is also in the finals, qualifying in the third position. Japan's Ryo Aono is in second. The top three scores move directly to the finals, meaning those three will not have to participate in the semi-finals.
White opted to make a second run in the qualifying round, even though he did not have to.
"To be honest, I'm more nervous in the qualifying than the finals," he said. "It's hard to explain, but we've practiced our finals run so much. These runs, you're just in a strange limbo where you do just enough to get in but you don't show everything."
There has not yet been a sighting of White's double McTwist 1260, but it may be unleashed in the finals: "You work on something hard, why not, right? Yeehaw!" said White.

Wedding day: Aug. 25, 2012
The bride: Nikki Addison Hart, 24, grew up in Gaithersburg. She is an Under Armour sports marketing customer sales representative. Her father, Scott Addison, is vice president of finance for Fitzgerald Auto Mall. Her mother, Ann Addison, is vice president of human resources at Lockheed Martin.
The groom: Jeff Hart, 25, grew up in Beaverdam, Va. He is regional sales manager for Centric Business Systems. His father, Mac Hart, is a clinical psychologist in Richmond, Va. His mother, Louise Hart, is a retired Beaverdam special-education teacher.
Their story: Nikki and Jeff met their first week at James Madison University and became a couple soon after.
Early on, he showed her how to make rings out of acorns, and they each made one for the other. She kept hers.
On the fifth anniversary of the day they met, he proposed by saying, "The last ring I made you lasted for five years, but now I want to give you one that lasts forever."
And he presented her with a ring he had designed with Harrisonburg, Va., jeweler James McHone — a 1.2-carat solitaire round diamond with small diamonds on either side of the band.
Bonus: A surprise awaited Nikki when she awoke the morning of her wedding.
"[There were] two jewelry boxes from Jeff with jewelry to wear that day — a beautiful diamond necklace and earrings to match, from Jared," she says. "It was so sweet it made me cry. So, that was my something new."
The place: About 200 guests attended the ceremony at St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church in Mount Vernon.
Bridesmaids' dresses: Her two maids-of-honor — sisters, Krissy, 22, and Katie, 19 — and six bridesmaids all wore short navy silk taffeta cocktail dresses with sweetheart necklines from J. Crew.
"Krissy and Katie had gold monogram necklaces that made them stand out as well," says Nikki.
Her dress: She wore a fitted lace strapless gown that was "a hybrid between a mermaid and an A-line" by Watters, from Betsy Robinson's Bridal. It also featured a sweetheart neckline, an embellished beaded belt and a four-foot long train, which was bustled for the reception.
Flowers: She carried a mix of white roses, white hydrangeas and white calla lilies, accented with small bright blue flowers. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of white hydrangeas and white roses, while the maids of honor carried blue hydrangeas and white roses. All the flowers were done by Teresa Kastner at Floral Impressions.
Men's apparel: The eight groomsmen wore black tuxes and black long ties, while Jeff wore a Vera Wang black tux with black bow tie and vest, all rented from Men's Wearhouse.
Reception: Black-tie optional. The couple wanted a real Baltimore feel to the event and chose the Belvedere because it "is the epitome of Baltimore."
The cocktail hour was held in the Platinum Room on the 13th floor, and the dinner reception next door in the Grand Ballroom. Onsite Truffles Catering supplied all the food, except the cake.
Personal touch: The takeaway gifts to wedding guests later that evening were also a hit. Nikki and Jeff had ordered online custom-made koozies in blue and white, which read, "To have and to hold, and to keep your beer cold."
"We didn't think they'd be enough, so we stuffed them with popcorn because every night Jeff and I have popcorn," says Nikki. "It's a running joke with friends. We have about four popcorn makers. We just love any kind of gourmet popcorn. I am obsessed with popcorn."

The 100th episode of the series
Leonard spontaneously decides to ask Penny out on a date. The date is going well, until Leonard pushes the idea of whether they're going to get back together. Penny says that the reasons their relationship never works out is that Leonard always over-thinks everything.
After the date ends (badly), Penny calls him over in the middle of the night for some late night ... entertainment. They decide to not think of their relationship as a relationship, but as new software that they're developing in secret. They continue to argue with each other while carrying on the relationship in secret at night.
It turns out that this whole relationship is only a daydream ... but then Leonard decides to actually ask her out, no doubt setting the stage for their plotlines for the next several episodes, if not the whole rest of season 5.
This Episode's Science
Ectothermy: Ectothermy is the condition of an animal being cold-blooded, and comes up at the beginning of the episode when Sheldon is considering how human life would be different if we had evolved from prehistoric lizards instead of mammals. (Not necessarily dinosaurs, though, since dinosaurs may have been warm-blooded.)
Laser Defense System: Leonard makes a joke about working on a government grant to use high-powered lasers to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles. This is similar to the legendary "star wars" program that Ronald Reagan's administration was working on, largely based on the enthusiastic support of theoretical physicist Edward Teller.
Notable Quotes
Leonard: Feel like trying something new for dinner? Maybe Indian? Tex-Mex?
Sheldon: Have you ever wondered how humans would be different if they'd evolved from lizards instead of mammals?
Leonard: Okay, let's talk about that.
Sheldon: As you know, lizards, cold-blooded animals, lack the ability to sense temperature, but they do move more sluggishly when it's cold, so lizard weathermen would say things like 'Bring a sweater, it's slow outside.' I love my mind.
Leonard: We all do. Now, how about dinner?
Sheldon: Oh, I assume we'd enjoy insects or smaller lizards. We could also pull each other's tails off and grill them. They'd just grow back.
Leonard: [pretending that he and Penny are getting to know each other on a first date] I'm an experimental physicist at CalTech. Most of my research is with high-powered lasers. Oh, I just got a big government grant to see if they can be used to knock out incoming ballistic missiles.
Penny: Wow! Can they?
Leonard: Oh, God, no. The money's pretty good. And I used the equipment to make my own bat signal.
Penny: [laughing] Bat signal? What are you, some kind of nerd?
Leonard: Not some kind of nerd. I am the king of nerds.
Penny: What does that mean?
Leonard: It means that if anyone displeases me, I don't help them set up their printer.

Rima Fakih, who made history in 2010 by becoming the first Arab-American to win Donald Trump's Miss USA pageant, recently reached a plea deal in her DUI case and faces a maximum sentence of about three months in jail.
The 26-year-old former beauty queen was arrested in December 2011 after police pulled her over in Highland Park, Michigan. They said she was driving 60 mph in a 30 mph zone and weaving in and out of traffic and that officers found an open bottle of champagne behind the driver's seat of her Jaguar. She failed two breath tests, which showed her blood alcohol content to be 0.19 and 0.20 percent - above the legal limit of 0.08.
On Wednesday, April 11, Fakih pleaded no contest to driving while visibly impaired, the Associated Press reported, quoting her as telling reporters outside of a Detroit court: "You learn, you pay your price for making mistakes and you move on. I'm very happy I can put this behind me. I'm just going to move on and make sure I learn my lessons."
She had previously said she was not drinking on the night of her arrest. She is due to be sentenced on May 9 and could be sent to jail for a maximum of 93 days.
The beauty queen took to her Twitter account on Wednesday morning, before making her plea.
"Today is the big day...pray for me guys! Love u," she Tweeted.
Fakih surrendered her Miss USA crown to 2011 winner Alyssa Campanella last June.

Clumsy Red Sox fan breaks woman's phone, dumps beer within seconds of each other
Red Sox RF Shane Victorino made a great play for the final out of the 4th inning. One Red Sox fan celebrated in kind by breaking a woman's phone and dumping a beer in another woman's face.
He's the worst.


text: 730 FXUS62 KTAE 250754 AFDTAE AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL 354 AM EDT Mon Aug 25 2014 .Near Term (Today)... Strong northeasterly flow today between an area of high pressure across the Mid Atlantic States and Tropical Storm Cristobal will bring in a much drier and slightly cooler airmass to the region. While most of the region will be dry today, a few showers will be possible across the southeastern Florida Big Bend where enough moisture will remain. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler, only in the lower 90s. The drier air from the northeast will also drop dewpoints into the low to mid 60s across much of the area delivering a break from high heat indices experienced over the weekend. .Short Term [Tonight Through Wednesday]... After our recent 4 day Heat Wave with very high Heat Indices due to high temps around 100 degrees with elevated dewpoints, the short term period will will certainly feel quite a bit more comfortable through at least mid-week. Even though highs will still average a bit above normal, the lower afternoon dewpoints and a nice northeasterly breeze will definitely make quite a bit of difference, as Maximum Heat Indices will "only" be in the lower to middle 90s across the Tri-State area. Even though this could still be considered "hot", after 4 consecutive days of Heat Indices between 108 and 115+, this should be a welcome change for most people with outdoor activities. PoPs will be at a minimum as well, with just a fairly small area of 15-20% rain chances Tuesday afternoon and evening, with a completely dry Wednesday expected. Overnight low temps will also be noticeably more comfy, with lows ranging from the middle 60s to the N and W to the lower 70s to the S and E. .Long Term [Wednesday Night Through Sunday]... The GFS and ECMWF forecast an area of higher heights over the Southeast through the period. Initially the deep layer moisture is forecast to be limited, but by next weekend it may be sufficient to support scattered mainly afternoon & evening storms (as opposed to just isolated storms through Friday). Temperatures will be near climo, with lows in the 70s and highs in the 90s. && .Aviation... [Through 12z Tuesday] VFR conditions will prevail through the period. Gusty northeast winds are expected during the daytime hours on Monday up to 20kts at all terminals. && .Marine... Northeasterly winds have continued to increase early this morning, as the relatively cooler and drier air moves southeast across the marine area. In fact, although prevailing seas are not expected to quite reach Small Craft Advisory levels, winds are well on there way, so will begin this forecast with an Advisory, and although there may be a few breaks at times during the daylight hours, very rare summertime nocturnal surges will keep them from dropping too much through Tuesday. Therefore, given the rareness of the event, with winds not dropping below 15 to 20 knots through Tuesday, decided to run the Small Craft Advisory until Tuesday afternoon. && .Fire Weather... Drier conditions are expected into mid week, but relative humidity values will remain above critical levels. Thus, red flag conditions are not anticipated. && .Hydrology... With little to no rain expected over the next few days, river stages and flows should continue to run below normal. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs... Tallahassee 93 70 92 69 95 / 10 10 20 10 10 Panama City 92 74 92 76 92 / 10 10 10 20 10 Dothan 91 66 92 68 94 / 0 10 10 10 10 Albany 91 67 92 68 93 / 0 0 10 10 10 Valdosta 91 69 92 67 96 / 10 10 20 10 10 Cross City 90 70 91 68 94 / 30 10 20 10 10 Apalachicola 92 75 91 76 90 / 10 10 10 20 10 && .TAE Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
