LEE COUNTY, Fla. - ONLY ON WINK- William Potts hijacked a plane bound for Miami, March 1984, and took it to Cuba. He returned to the U.S. last week to face the court system.
One of the passengers on that plane is talking exclusively to WINK News, she remembers every moment of the terrifying trip.
William Potts pleaded not guilty to air piracy charges in a Miami federal courtroom. Authorities say in March 1984, Potts handed a flight attendant a note saying there were explosives on board
"Shocked! How could you plead 'not guilty' when you did it?"
Karen Moro and her six year old son were aboard the Piedmont flight bound for Miami. The family dog was in the baggage compartment.
To this day, she keeps memories of that terrifying trip: her airline ticket, baggage tags and newspaper articles.
"I asked the stewardess, I said 'are we being hijacked?' She gave me a look (which meant) 'I can't talk.'"
Authorities say William Potts, who called himself Lt. Spartacus, handed the flight attendant a note, and demanded the plane land in Cuba.
"We were just about to land in Miami, the wheels actually touched down on the ground. And then the stewardess said 'everybody remain calm. we have an unexpected landing, we're going to land in 30 minutes.' I said to the girl sitting next to me, "I bet we're going to Cuba.' And she said 'how do you know?' I said 'where's 30 minutes from here?'
"My son told me that he saw a black man give the stewardess a note, then he saw him go in the bathroom, actually wrote a note on the back of the door," Moro said.
That door was used as evidence. The plane landed safely in a field in Havana, where Moro bought a coffee mug to keep as a memory.
"I just remember this nice lady sitting next to me. We held hands as we landed in Cuba like..'you may be the last person i see.' He needs to pay for what he did. Because luckily no one was hurt. No one was killed. But it could of turned out so much different," Moro said.
Reports indicate Potts hijacked that plane because he wanted learn how to overthrow the U.S. government.
He thought he'd be greeted as a hero in Cuba but instead, was imprisoned for over a decade. He voluntarily returned to the U.S. after years of exile and now, could get between 20 years and life in prison

The announcement by NYSE Technologies, the commercial technology division of NYSE Euronext, that it is expanding the terms of its partnership with the Warsaw Stock Exchange, illustrates how the exchange company expects to significantly increase revenue by commercializing its own technology.
NYXT, as the unit is known internally, generated $490 million in revenue in 2011, up from $444 million in 2010 and $363 million in 2009. Management says the company is on track to hit $1 billion in revenues by 2015. NYSE also sees commercialization of its technology as a wedge allowing it to develop relationships with blue chip customers for its financial exchange businesses.
Bob Kerner, chief digital officer for NYSE, says the technology organization has been able to ramp up to support this aggressive growth strategy by using Drupal, an open source application used to build web sites and tools for collaboration and knowledge management. Drupal was first released in 2001, but has gained in popularity since 2007. Kerner's team also uses a software development methodology called Agile, which is characterized by rapid, iterative development cycles and close collaboration between developers and their internal customers.
Mark Newton shows how the open source content management system can make life easier for you and your clients
There are many different ways to build a website these days. When I first started in this business, you wrote HTML files directly onto a local web server and, if it all looked good, then uploaded these files to the live web server.
Later, the introduction of scripting languages made the need for such a staging server all the greater, because links between pages and menus were (and often still are) hand-coded, and so in danger of becoming broken.
Drupal is a major presence at Stanford University, one of the world's premiere educational and research institutions. Since the creation of Stanford Web Services and its in-house Drupal hosting platform in 2011, the number of Stanford Drupal sites has more than tripled and 2-3 Drupal sites are created there every day.
Rob: Rob Gill, I'm Director of Operations for NBC Universal's O&TS, Operation Technical Services. We're shared corporate organization that tries to promote best practices.
Chris: I'm Chris Herring. At NBC Universal, we use Drupal as a centralized publishing system for a lot of the NBC Universal brands.
Rob: Across company, we have 30, 40 brands: Bravo, SyFy, Telemundo. We have films, parks and we're in a unique position to work with all of those different brands and their digital properties. We had tried a lot of the enterprise content management systems out there. They were very content-specific so there might be a really good blogging platform and if you want to build a website out of it, you could modify that blogging platform and sort of get it to do most of what you wanted it to do. Drupal was one of the first, if not the first, platform to come out. It was more of a global solution to a website as opposed to using something and then trying to make it work for everything else.
Chris: The fact that there's a community behind Drupal made a huge difference, particularly around time to deploy for a new site.
Rob: Another major, major factor for us is on the editorial side. We have, in some cases, brands that have 30 editors that are entering content and very specifically, Drupal scaled really well on the editorial side. We consider our primary customers the editors that use the system and they have been incredibly happy with it so that was the success that we've built on. As we push - continue to try to push Drupal as our standard across the company, being able to back that up and have an Acquia-type company, has been very helpful.
Chris: We tend to use Acquia as a knowledge resource so when we're researching a particular use case or a business problem, we tend to use Acquia to help us make that final determination on which module we should use. The few times that we have engaged Acquia for that sort of architectural guidance and advice, it's been really interesting to me because each time, not only were we told the right way to go, but the options we were considering we shouldn't have even been considering. They helped filter a lot of the noise that is out there in the community down to the exact right option to solve a business problem.
NBC Universal is a world leader in media and entertainment and is headquartered in the mecca for these industries - Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Chris Porter talks about the satisfaction of helping people solve the hard problems that will let them run their Drupal installations and their businesses better.
He says he feels like a hero sometimes, because he's welcomed by people who have invited him to come and help, rather than being the consultant who shows up because someone is forced to buy help for a proprietary system.
IBM's recent decision to replace its Oracle Siebel customer management system with SugarCRM's web-based application is a big vote of confidence in commercial open source software.
Commercial open source software can be appealing to corporations because it often includes legal protections, quality controls and customer service. It has been used by startups such as Eucalyptus, which provides software for private clouds, and Acquia, which provides service and support for Drupal open-source content management systems.
The combination of open source code and quality controls helps companies such as SugarCRM compete with much larger rivals such as Oracle and Salesforce.com, which sell software based on proprietary standards.
Bryan Hirsch comes from a background of software engineering and political activism. He originally joined Acquia as an engineer on the Drupal Gardens team thanks to his expertise and interest in software-as-a-service products. His new position at Acquia as Senior Technical Consultant Acquia Government Practice Department allows him to leverage his longstanding interest in using open source software in government to save taxpayer dollars, improve civic engagement and government services.
At DrupalCon Denver, I announced the need for a strong focus on Drupal's authoring experience in my State of Drupal presentation. During my core conversation later in the week, I announced the creation of a Drupal 7 distribution named "Spark" (formerly code-named "Phoenix"). The goal of Spark is to act as an incubator for Drupal 8 authoring experience improvements that can be tested in the field.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

Dan is in New York and, hopefully, is working on his annual draft post that makes 30 percent of commenters threaten to never read this site again (luckily, that 30 percent is really bad at following through on threats). The epic draft posts are my favorite Feldman posts of the year. I hope everyone is excited as I am.
Anyway, I wasn't happy Joe Dumars passed on Trey Burke. I think in the longrun, Burke will be a better player than Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. But I still don't think that Caldwell-Pope was a bad pick, and I loved the Tony Mitchell pick in the second round. Peyton Siva is largely irrelevant to me. Nothing against him, he was a fine college player, but he's a longshot to make the roster, in my opinion, unless he's willing to play overseas for a year. So anyway, back to the Burke/Caldwell-Pope debate. In today's column for the Detroit Free Press, I discussed what will make the pick a success — it starts with bringing back Jose Calderon:
It's unclear what the Pistons will do in free agency, but if taking Caldwell-Pope over Burke indicates the team will do whatever it can to re-sign Jose Calderon, I'm on board. Calderon will give the Pistons the steady, pass-first, perimeter-shooting point guard they need. The team then can allow Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey to battle it out to start at shooting guard until Caldwell-Pope wins that job or, if he's ready to start from day one, battle for significant backup minutes at both guard spots. Either Knight or Stuckey also could be used as trade bait. But suddenly, the Pistons would have a competent-looking guard rotation with a steady veteran point guard, a young three-and-D shooting guard prospect with good size for the position and one or two versatile combo guards off the bench who can play big minutes depending on situations and matchups.
But what if the plan is not to sign Calderon? What if he was just viewed as an expiring contract to get out of Tayshaun Prince's contract? What if the plan is to give Knight or, worse, Stuckey, another shot at the starting point guard job? We know how that story ends, right?
The Pistons didn't do poorly in this draft. Tony Mitchell was a steal in the second round. Caldwell-Pope was a good pick in a vacuum, without thinking about who was on the board when they took him. If Burke hadn't have been available, most fans would've been extremely happy to get a tall, athletic shooting guard who can hit the three. And if the team is able to re-sign Calderon, move either Stuckey or Knight, find a starting-caliber small forward in free agency or via trade and add some frontcourt depth behind Monroe or Drummond, it's easy to envision them as one of the most improved teams in the Eastern Conference next season.
If the team surrounds Caldwell-Pope with adequate talent and starts winning again, fans will forgive Dumars, even if Burke becomes a star. Unfortunately, though, due to their recent history, the team's leadership doesn't get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their ability to bring in the right mix of talent.
Caldwell-Pope wasn't necessarily the wrong pick, but his performance alone won't determine whether he was the right one.

September and October are great months. Summer is over and the NFL is kicking off. Everyone has a shot. Regardless of your favorite team, you get that feeling of "maybe we can shock the world." Week one comes, two, three....etc, and the league starts to take shape. The Football gods, the harsh realism of "man, my team sucks." is here and about 5-10 teams realize that yet again, it just isn't our year.
With Halloween coming and going, it is time to welcome in November. The month of the football season that shows who is for real and who is a flash in the pan. The first half of the season is over and the majority of the league has played eight games and have eight to go. Unless you are at that magical FOUR win mark, this season may as well have ended with that last piece of Reece's you gave away on Thursday night.
There are a few teams at four wins who we are still figuring out. The San Diego Chargers, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers, Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. Who are they? November will either be a brisk, awaking and a holiday playoff push, or a dark, cold month. We will find out rather soon.
For teams like the New England Patriots, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers, November will be about positioning. Can the Chiefs cement themselves as a serious contender? (I know ... they are the leagues ONLY undefeated team but lets be honest ... do you SERIOUSLY trust them?) Can the Colts stomp on the throats of their AFC South friends? How about the Packers, Seahawks, Saints and 49ers? Who wants those two BYES? Are the Patriots a serious threat? Is Andy Dalton the guy who had the 5 TD's vs the Jets or the 3 INT's vs the Dolphins? We'll find out this month.
So as we are just three hours away from kicking off the second half of the NFL season and the month of November, we will find out a WHOLE LOT in the next four-five weeks. Who is your team? It's November Contender/Pretender month. Don't be left in the cold.

2011-2012 Grad
The predictability of C-reactive protein, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, and depression on later health outcomes in patients experiencing a first-time stroke
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of neurologic disability for adults in developed nations. Strokes trigger an acute inflammatory response prompted by brain tissue injury at the infarct site and the surrounding ischemic penumbra raising plasma levels of inflammatory markers. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase inflammatory marker, has been significantly correlated with infarct size and post-stroke complications. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) may also predict long-term cardiovascular risk in the stroke population. In addition to physiologic changes, up to 60% of all stroke survivors are known to experience depression, which may contribute to decreased physical and cognitive functioning, decreased health-related quality of life, and deterioration of mobility after stroke.

It's that time of year again. That's right, if you've been a FUNimation fan for a while, then you're familiar with our annual San Gatsu no Madness tournament. Instead of filling out a bracket for a bunch of basketball teams that you probably don't care about (and believe me, this year's Big Dance is not really that amazing looking anyways) we put our anime titles in a head-to-head epic elimination match.
We're going to be doing things a bit differently this year, and instead of filling out an entire bracket in one go, we're going to have you vote for your favorites in each match using this nifty bracket app. This will also be done in 5 rounds. You'll pick your winning titles for the first round and then once the round is over and the victors have been declared, you'll vote again for the next round, and so on and so forth until the losers are eliminated and a supreme champion has been chosen. Here are the dates you need to remember:
March 19th - Round 1 starts
March 25th - Round 1 ends, Round 2 starts
March 29th - Round 2 ends, Round 3 starts
April 1st - Round 3 ends, Round 4 starts
April 5th - Round 4 ends, Final round starts
April 8th - Final round ends
After each round, we'll be selecting one winner at random from among the entries. That winner will receive one of the five anime prize packages.
This tournament runs from now until the end of March Madness (April 8th). Even if you didn't vote in the first round, you still have a chance to vote in subsequent rounds. Just make sure you keep checking back.

Top Teams in the World
Currently they are within the top 48 teams in the world, but they need to continue to play in the FIVB World Tour events to improve their world ranking. The FIVB World Tour travels throughout Asia, South America and Europe for around 6 months of the year and is a pre requisite to qualification for World Championship and Olympic Games, with each event costing the Vanuatu team close to US$10 000 they are currently raising funds and seeking sponsorship.

Hercules is definitely the sassiest Disney movie ever made.
First off your leading lady is all curvy and snarky.
Second your villain is sarcastic and pissed off all the time.
Then you literally have a chorus of these sassy bitches. Calling Meg out on her shit, "like nah uh girl, we know you're lying! You got it bad for that boy."
Then you got the super sassy god of sass, Hermes.
In conclusion, Hercules is one of my favorite and most watched Disney movies.

Optical illusions are images that trick the brain into seeing things that don't exist. The eye processes the information it sees and sends that to the brain, which tries to figure out the answer. The brain depends on what the eye sees, but in most of these illusions the brain and eye differ in their processing. Many people are able to see an optical illusion once they learn the answer, but not always!
A common optical illusion is a sketch of a young woman combined with a sketch of an old woman; when you look one way you can see the older woman, but when you turn it over you can see the younger woman. The increase in technology has made optical illusions more complex and has even made it possible to create pictures that appear to move even though they remain completely stationary. These images are so popular that they have been used in advertisements, on book covers, on business promotional products, and much more!
Examples and information on optical illusions include:
Common optical illusions include:
The Hermann Grid
The Mach Band
The Muller-Lyer
The Café Wall
The Penrose Triangle
Ascending and Descending
The Waterfall
The Vase
Reversible Figure
Impossible Trident
Lesser-known or obscure optical illusions include:
The Hering Illusion
Benham's Top
Ames Trapezoid
Fraser Spiral
Jastrow Illusion
Lilac Chaser
Orbison Illusion
The Spinning Dancer
The use of 3-D technology has created a large number of unusual and lesser-known optical illusions. Companies specializing in business promotional items use these illusions on their products as a way of giving customers something to remember. They're also passed around through emails and blogs as a way of testing others. One thing about optical illusions is clear; their increased popularity and ever-changing complexity will keep them in the public eye for a long time to come!

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
Viognier(vee-ohn-YAY) Viognier is best known for producing the rich, aromatic white wines of the Northern Rhone. Once a pricey commodity of the area, it's now much easier to find and drink. The perfumed grape creates wines of distinct aromas and flavors.

The weight of love…
There's so much they hold.
Oh, I want to sail away from here.
Dear future girlfriend #29
I love looking up at the sky and knowing that we're both under the same one; it's somehow reassuring. I know you're there, here, somewhere.
And even though I get frustrated that you're still not with me, that still puts a smile on my face.
Thinking of you.
You be the anchor…
I just love staring at the sky really.
Never ignore a person who loves you.
Trying to find the in-betweens.
Surfers Paradise
The moon was amazing that night.

The Winter Classic and Stadium Series has come on in force these past couple of years to the point of having six outdoor games last year.
The League has decided, due to lost revenue and an effort to go big to soon, that they will scale back the winter classic and stadium series games to just two this coming year. The Washington Capitals will play in one and host it as well. The venues up for the hosting duties are the Nationals Park, FedEx Field or Camden Yards in Baltimore.
The Washington Capitals could host one of four teams; the Bruins, the Penguins, the Rangers, or the Flyers.
The second game will take place on the other side of the nation, being played in either AT&T Park or Levi's Stadium; both in San Fransisco, with the San Jose Sharks being the guaranteed team with a strong chance that the L.A. Kings are brought in as well.
The League scaling back is due to lost revenue last year trying to push six outdoor games down out throats. I enjoy the outdoor games and think that it is a great idea but there can be too much of a good thing. Moving it back to either two or three games a year I think is perfect. Promoting them could be better as well as there is a limited supply so economically speaking, demand should go up, which means more money. This will work as long as they keep rotating through and providing different cities and teams to play in them.

Residents in Sunset Bay are cleaning up after one of the worst floods in five years.
The area surrounding the bay was as slick as an ice-skating rink Tuesday morning after floodwater nearly 30 inches deep in some areas, took over the community. It then turned to ice.
"The mouth of the Cattaraugus Creek had an ice jam develop where it meets Lake Erie as the temperatures fell, the flood water froze," Sunset Bay Fire Department's Assistant Fire Chief Mark Dietzen said.
There was a voluntary evacuation leaving some people with no place to go. That is where the Red Cross stepped in, opening a shelter in a church just up the road for people like Chelse Wilcox.
"It was really nice to know we have a place to go," Wilcox said.
Sarah and Bruce Swanson are Red Cross volunteers. They said a shelter is open for Sunset Bay residents every time the area floods.
"It's very important to have these shelters even if there are not a lot of clients. There were at least 150 who evacuated and many didn't have plans where to go," Sarah Swanson said.
Many people were returning home to assess the damage, Tuesday. Jerry Miller said the clean up is not an easy task.
"Got your major cleaning, mud if it gets into your house everything is ruined and the moisture gets in and there is mold in the walls, just a major mess," Miller said.
This is the second flood this season and official say that is rare. Now, some people including Michael Saccone said this is all part of living on the water.
"I'm a boater a fisherman. I'm not moving," Saccone said.
Others including Nick Kuppel said enough is enough.
"This is my last winter here. I'm not doing this again," Kuppel said.
Officials said this could be it, at least for this winter unless the temperature drops for a long period of time refreezing the creek.
"There's good likelihood this will be the last flood. As far as we know, we teamed up with the Sheriff's Office and flew in the helicopter, we saw open water and hopefully no more ice jam," Dietzen said.
Officials said they can't predict what will happen the rest of the winter. They say that's up to Mother Nature.

Green Bay Packers fans and fantasy owners of WR James Jones need to closely watch his practice status this week, because his status for this week's game against the Cleveland Browns is totally up in the air. Jones suffered a PCL sprain in last week's win against the Baltimore Ravens, and the Packers did a nice job of overcoming the first-half injuries to key WRs Randall Cobb and Jones. Cobb is on the short-term I.R. with a significant knee injury, whereas James Jones was luckily able to escape serious damage.
ESPN NFL Nation's Rob Demovsky reports that Jones was not spotted at practice, and this news comes as no surprise. Even though Jones's injury isn't as severe as it could have been, it would have been a bit unrealistic to expect him to practice on the first day of Week 7. He will most likely be a game-time decision this week, and hopefully we can get some more updates soon on the status of the Packers key wideout.
Jones has 20 receptions for 349 yards and two touchdowns this season, with the highlight being a monster performance against the Washington Redskins in Week 2. He hauled in 11 passes for 178 yards that week, and he also had over 100 receiving yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 5. We'll see just how severe Jones's PCL sprain is, but he still has a shot at playing this week.

This is an excellent article that lays out the crux of the problem for Obama. No matter who or what has been blamed for the attack, there is one man and one man alone who is responsible for the response. He wanted the big job and it is time he accepted the responsibility of his office. It is going to get very uncomfortable for Obama and the democrats in the next few months. Benghazi is not going away no matter how many tantrums they throw as Bob Beckel did on The Five last night. Americans have a particular pride in the fact their military runs toward the guns and we don´t leave our men/women behind. Benghazi has been different in that regard and Americans want to know why. Mr. McCarthy has asked the pivotal question. Now we wait for the answer.

Last week, we saw pictures of the captain of the ferry that sunk in South Korea escaping the ferry leaving the rest of those on board to die. We still don´t know where our Commander in chief was the night our Ambassador was tortured and murdered. At least they could have tried as did those courageous three seals who died trying. They didn´t throw up their hands and run as did Obama. They say he left the Oval Office saying "You handle it". Sounds like Clinton saying "Put some ice on it." I am so disgusted with this President and his ugly wife and his ugly Communist puppeteer Valerie.

Benghazi stinks from top to bottom and Obama´s dereliction is inexcusable. I´ve zeroed in on the fact that he abandoned his post from the beginning. This was extreme cowardice that cost lives. He´s lucky he´s not marched out in front of a firing squad.

If I recall correctly, among the orders Obama said he gave, was the order to do all that could be done to protect or save Americans.Since NOTHING was done, either Obama lied about giving this order or Leon Panetta failed to carry out this order. Either Obama failed his responsibilities or Leon failed to carry out his.In any event, this rises to the criminal level of dereliction of duty.The Select Committee should start with Leon and begin asking the tough questions.

As Tommy Boy pointed out, Fauxbama was in the WH (though not in the situation room). Actually, he was in the oval office practicing his putting. The big question is: where was President Jarrett?

Where the Jackass-in-Chief was located does not matter. He has the best encrypted communications systems in the world that enable him to be in constant contact with military commanders worldwide, 24 hours a day. He either gave the command to "stand down" himself or he was frozen/stoned/asleep and did nothing. Either way, he is unfit to hold his position.As above posters state, it is an unthinkable option for real Americans to abandon their comrades in the field. He is not an American.

Good job at clearing away the underbrush, Andrew, and getting right to the central issue. obama´s Article II fail.But what do you expect from the Potemkin presidency? From the outset, the triumph of form over any real substance. The appearance of an administration. But actually dysfunctional at governing and doing the good of the country. Govern? These amateurs aren´t even ´´handling.´´ Instead, pandering, propaganda and coercion compose the regime´s skill set.But astute observers saw it all coming right from the jump as ValJar used the jarring word ´´rule´´ not ´´govern´´ in the run-up to the 2009 inauguration, or more accurately, the installing of the regime.And ´´praetorian media´´ is perfect, Andrew.

It is the same question authorities always ask in the case of a homicide. If mom goes to a party after her daughter is missing, common sense tells us that is not normal. A commander in chief who does not go to the situation room while his ambassador is under attack, and then heads off to Las Vegas the next day, is bizarre behavior. If this were a police case, he would be a suspect. And the press would be clammoring to know more.

I´m sure McCarthy already knows the answer to his question:Why was AFRICOM hanging on the State Department's preferences? For the same reason Obama never has his fingerprints on any major decisions -- cowardice. He cannot, has not, and will not take responsibility for anything that has even the remotest chance of going bad.What surprises me is that Obamacare is something he is proud to put his name to, despite how badly it´s turning out and will get worse as time passes.Our AWOL Commander-In-Chief is also an AWOL President. He is present only for parties, golf, TV shows and audiences comprised of children and liberals -- but I repeat myself.Terrain where he can be challenged are hills he dare not try to take.

This week we meet the true nature of the Obama Alfred E. Neuman (What, Me Worry) Foreign Policy Doctrine.Seems Tommy (Tutone) Vietor was large, in charge, and running the show in the WH Situation Room on 9 11 2012: "Hey dude, I dialied eight six seven nine three oh nine to order the Marines to storm the shores of Tripoli, but nobody picked up."On that night, Barack Obama was unwilling or incapable of taking action to defend US citizens.Dereliction of duty rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors...

Where was he, good question. Why did he not issue an order to act is what I want to know. I know the answer to the first question. He was somewhere is the WH doing something else. He could have issued an order from anywhere in the WH. Why didn´t he? Who does he owe is loyalty to?I recall early on something about him saying ´do whatever you have to do´. If so why did the brass believe that was not enough to act? What held them back?

FTA: "Former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty are a different story. They fought valiantly for many hours after our military learned, very early on, that the battle was raging. Unlike AFRICOM, the SEALs did not stand pat. They ran to the sound of the guns. After saving over 30 of their countrymen, they paid with their lives. The armed forces, General Lovell recalled, knew that terrorists were attacking them. Yet no one came to their aid."Barack Hussein and Hillary had time to save them. They chose the video cover-up. The only time I remember Obama holding hands with Hillary was during the arrival of the four caskets. There Mr. Clinton´s wife promised the families she would get the Christian video poster in jail, and she did.

From day one I had the same thought as #2: obozo was "under influence" of some strong substance.

Are they so scared and dumbed down by this cabal?

What is really scary is that the Democrat Party of this day puts up with such incompetence in the White House, and it is easy to see why, they are paralyzed by the racial element involved, as the Democrats depend on big minority votes for their future political power. That minority vote, that has little understanding of foreign affairs, and the world outside their communities, supports whatever Obama does or does not do in percentages of up to 95%.What is really scary is that there may only be 15 minutes or less for a President to act if there is ever a sudden WMD attack on the USA. The 2016 election can´t get here fast enough.

Did I misread the article or did McCarthy excuse Hillary for doing nothing?

FTA: Benghazi, however, is a catastrophe wrought by Obama's pro-Islamist policies, one that puts the lie to his oft-repeated claim to have "decimated" al-Qaeda.No kidding. Ultimately, the responsibility for what happened in Benghazi must be laid at Obama´s feet, although Hillary! was personally warned about the lax security situation by none other than her worried Libyan ambassador, the soon to be murdered Christopher Stevens. She is responsible for not making sure contingency plans were in place to get the diplomatic corps out of harm´s way in the event of a terrosist attack.The oft-repeated lies she and Obama told about the ex-Islamic filmmaker´s responsibility for enraging the Islamic world are unforgivable, especially since those lies were told to the faces of the grieving families of the four dead Americans. As I have said before, I probably wouldn´t have been able to resist the urge to expectorate in Mrs. Clinton´s face had I been one of the bereaved that day. That lie all by itself disqualifies her morally from any consideration of higher office. There should be no forgiveness at all for a soul that dark, vacant, and criminally ambitious. What´s most appalling is that the Democratic Party at large is just as morally compromised as Obama and Clinton.

And where is Joe Bidet, feckless v.p. all these times....when the chief is not sitting on his little thrown? Are they still keeping him in the basement/attic or is he cooking things up while the rat is away? Where is ValJarJar?

If the white house visitor log was checked it would probably reveal that Reggie Love was there. Assume that he and 0 were getting it on.

We know, as The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol notes, that "while Americans were under assault in Benghazi, the president found time for a non-urgent, politically useful, hour-long call to [Israeli] Prime Minister Netanyahu" — a call made because Obama was wooing Jewish voters unsettled by his notorious disdain for Netanyahu, and thus a call it was in his interest to publicize.This even damns Obama more, IMHO. I would bet my last dime that Barry knew ahead of time that something was going to happen that night and for him to take slow action so the Muslim Bros could get what they wanted - the Blind Sheik.Personally I don´t know how Netanyahu can stomach having a conversation with Barry. How I wish we had a real man like Netanyahu as our President. I think he was an American at one time - at least educated the U.S. If Barry can sit in the WH with his fraudulent background, it would seem only right that a brilliant, capable, patriotic gentlemen could sit there. Bibi would probably get this country on the true road to recovery in short order.

You don´t hear much about Candy Crowley these days, but she was the "moderator" of the second presidential debate who acted in collusion with Obama to thwart Mitt Romney´s attempt to force Obama into explaining what the hell he was doing that night.Candy Crowley, Obama shill and hack pseudo-journalist, is absolutely disgusting, and if I were her boss, I´d fire her and then re-hire her just so I could fire her again. Candy Crowley acted in concert with Barack Obama to aid and abet the cover-up of his gross dereliction of duty. What a pig.

Why isn´t the gay lobby and organizations outraged and piling on Obammy about this since Chris Stevens was gay and was raped and murdered by the Islamofascist psychopaths while Hillary, Obama and the State Dept did nothing to defend him?Why aren´t they PO´d and protesting and crying out to the media about this?

There's no doubt that the topic of the Cincinnati Streetcar is a controversial subject. Two years ago a special interest opposition group lead by City Council wash out Chris Smitherman brought forward a misleading amendment meant to stop not just the streetcar, but any and all passenger rail projects within the city limits. They lost. Now, they're back and so is the press coverage. Yes, the same folks who brought you (and lost) the infamous Issue 9 election have brought forth another similar amendment (even though they admitted defeat last time and said they were done). As the political issues surrounding the streetcar continue, so does the press coverage.
If you read this blog regularly, you know I support the streetcar. You also might remember that I've been critical of the press coverage the project receives - like when I took up 700 WLW's Bill Cunningham's challenge to go to OTR in the middle of the night and somehow survived. Bill never answered my emails. The talk radio slams the streetcar day in, day out, but the Cincinnati Enquirer, the largest newspaper in the region should be covering it fairly and accurately, right? Right!? After all, it's print journalism - a medium typically held in a higher regard to the talking head "journalism" of television and radio. Well, the Enquirer's coverage is highly debatable.
At first I thought I was just being blinded by my own support for the project. A lot of the fellow supporters around me slammed the Enquirer's coverage. As a Journalism student though, I understood where a lot of their articles were coming from. Yeah, they could've done more research, but for the most part it seemed like people were over-reacting. Then it got worse. The Enquirer would repeatedly only quote streetcar opposition leaders and maybe only one supporter if at all. The Enquirer lost its credibility with me though when one of their journalists claimed he could walk the streetcar route faster than the streetcar could travel. He was debunked by simple math. The Enquirer responded that they were positive their article couldn't be wrong (so simple math must be?).
They took their expert coverage to the next level though by introducing the "Streetcar Word Association Game." Yes, they published an "article" about wanting to play a game with readers. You can check it out here. However, I understand if you don't want to click that and go to their site. You'll probably first be bombarded by a Furniture Fair ad, then have to wait for their site to load, then you'll have to click out of the pop-up ads and if their site hasn't crashed you can then read the "article." If you don't want to deal with that, I'll do you the favor and quote it here:
Per the Cincinnati Enquirer on 9/1/2011: "Play the streetcar word association game."
"What's the first word that pops into your head when you hear the word 'streetcar?'"This one" linked to a "word cloud" they made about musical acts people wanted to see in Cincinnati. It has since disappeared. As the afternoon after that "article" was published wore on, it became apparent that the supporters were leading in the one word race. I had a suspicion that the article might eventually disappear or never be followed up on. So I started an Excel sheet with a list of the words left by users in the comment section. At the same time, in the back of my head, I thought: "Nah, they'll make the word cloud and I'm wasting my time." I kind of forgot about it until yesterday when I realized they had never in fact followed up with the article. No word cloud, just nothing. No one had commented on it since the 2nd of September - so I finished tallying the words and decided to finish it for them. No need to thank me Enquirer, it was my pleasure. Here's how the world cloud would've turned out had the Enquirer actually followed up on their "article:"
A proposal to bring a streetcar to Cincinnati has generated a lot of rhetoric. We want to cut through that with a word association game.
In the comments section below, leave one word that you closely associate with the streetcar. We'll compile the results into a word cloud, similar to this one."
I'm not saying they intentionally forgot about making the word cloud, but since they didn't I wanted to show the actual results. While I'm a supporter, I included the words from people who didn't support the project (a full list can be found at the end of this post). I didn't include words that weren't real, multiple words combined into one or any sexual references. The last word cloud about concerts (before it disappeared) had been made about one day after its original article was published. It's been almost a week since the streetcar word association game was published.
I can see why the Enquirer does things like this. It encourages people to comment which means they'll come back to check their comments and debate with others. All that in turn leads to more page views and advertisements being seen. Ads bring in revenue. However, is that an excuse for this kind of "journalism?" In a day and age when print media needs to adapt or die, where is The Enquirer headed?

EMC plays kiss chase with Hyper-V
VMware's storage parent EMC is providing back-end support for Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and the firm's System Centre management suite. The infrastructure giant said today that it will cough up broad technology support and solutions for Microsoft's new virtualisation strategy and portfolio. EMC reckoned the move …
I've said it before...
...and will say it again.
VMWare were fucking mad to get taken over by EMC.
Dangermouse VCP, MCSE, CNE, BA (Hons Maths, Idiocy)
Please don't publish that comment...
I'm on the wrong side of a couple of bottles of very good red, and the previous comment sounded like I've retracted completely up my own arse, which I assure you I haven't. Why, oh why did I put silly letters after...oh bugger it.
I'm going mad, to wit having one-sided conversations with Miss Bee who is no doubt going to publish both comments.
Clear the Decks...... Prepare 42 dDeep Dive for EMPulsating Drive.
Wrong sided with a couple of bottles of very good red, maybe, Dangermouse, but right minded in ITs Purple Patch Haze nonetheless.
Are you saying that EMC are just Fancy Asset Strippers with Dubious Intellectual Property Credentials? A Sort of QinetiQs with the IQComponents?
Anyone dare to say 'conflict of interest'?
Title says it all!
To Err is Human to Forgive and Forget Heavenly.
"A Sort of QinetiQs with the IQComponents?" ..... Oh Dear, I really must slow down. There's another one of those silly deliberate mistakes nobody mentioned.
That should of course read ....A Sort of QinetiQs without the IQComponents?

"This will be our third year to offer oral screenings," said Chase Adams, director of oncology services at The Hope Center. "We continue to feel that this free screening is extremely beneficial to the overall health of our community, which boasts a large population of 'at-risk' individuals. Risk factors for oral cancer include smoking and alcohol consumption. When combined, the risk increases over 100 times that of individuals who do not drink or smoke. North Georgia, including Bartow County, is considered to be part of the 'smoking belt,' which is the region of the U.S. that has the highest prevalence of smokers in the country.
"The purpose of this screening is a combination of early detection of cancers and awareness of potential risk factors. Early detection is one of the most critical factors in determining treatment success. A cancer that is detected in its earliest stage, Stage 1, is usually very localized. Meaning that it has not spread to other parts of the body."
Adams continued, "Patients with localized oral cancer have a five-year survival rate of nearly 83 percent. That survival rate can drop to 37 percent if the cancer is not detected early, and has had a chance to spread. In addition to the clinical oral screening, participants will be provided with smoking cessation materials, to help them begin their journey to a more healthy lifestyle."
From 1 to 5 p.m., screenings will be administered by Drs. William Thoms, Madhurima Uppalapati, Satyen Mehta and Sanjay Athavale.
According to a news release from The Hope Center, "Oral, head and neck cancers claim approximately 13,000 lives per year. If diagnosed early, these cancers can be more easily treated without significant complications, and the chances of survival greatly increase.
"… The signs and symptoms of oral cancer often go unnoticed. However, there are a few visible signs associated with these cancers that require immediate attention, including:
• A sore in your mouth that doesn't heal or that increases in size
• Persistent pain in your mouth
• Lumps or white or red patches inside your mouth
• Difficulty chewing or swallowing or moving your tongue
• Soreness in your throat or feeling that something is caught in your throat
• Changes in your voice
• A lump in your neck."
Lasting 10 minutes, Athavale said, the screening is a quick but important tool in detecting these types of cancers early.
"We just do an assessment of the person's head and neck, in terms of looking in their nose, looking in their throat, feeling their neck, making sure there's nothing that looks or feels abnormal," said Athavale, an otolaryngologist with Northwest ENT and Allergy Center. "… If somebody, God forbid, had something in their head or neck that was cancerous, the earlier you can detect it and find it the better in terms of outcome and survival and quality of life. ... The second thing is educating people as to what causes cancer is important and they'll learn that at the screening."
While the two biggest risk factors are tobacco and/or alcohol use, the medical profession also is seeing an increase in human papillomavirus-related oral cancers.
"There's an increase in prevalence of throat cancer related to the HPV virus," Athavale said. "That's the same virus that women go to their gynecologist to get Pap smears for, for cervical cancer. It's the same virus that causes throat cancer and the incidents of that is rising.
"So even if a person doesn't smoke and drink and lives a relatively healthy lifestyle, they still run the risk of getting throat cancer through that virus. So it's important to be educated on that as well. The viral cancer tends to happen in people that are between 40 and 55 as opposed to the smoking and drinking version, which tends to occur in people that are 55 and over."
With only 64 slots available, interested individuals are encouraged to sign up quickly by calling MedLine at 800-242-5662.

Miley Cyrus just released a new song and it's a I-iii-vi-IV just like Party in the USA.
I've got a pretty intrusive kind of absolute pitch, so progressions leap out and bash me in the face when I listen to music, getting tangled up with every other song I've ever heard that uses the same combinations and intervals.
It's sort of like fiddling with a radio dial where all the stations are playing songs that jump across the same intervals.
So I decided to messily throw together a handful I-iii-vi-IV songs off the top of my head, which resulted in this here scribble.
This is what listening to a song for the first time sounds to me, and you should feel sorry for me.
