Private First Class Harold G. Epperson, USMCR, (1923-1944)
Harold G. Epperson was born on 14 July 1923 in Akron, Ohio. In December 1942, he enlisted from that same state in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Following Basic Training, he reported to the First Battalion, Sixth Marines, Second Marine Division and departed for combat duty in the Pacific, participating in the Battle of Tarawa in November 1943.
On 25 June 1944, Epperson served as a Machine Gunner in action against Japanese forces at the Battle of Saipan, Mariana Islands. During the furious battle, Epperson bravely remained at his post and aggressively defended his battalion's position. When an enemy soldier hurled a hand grenade into his emplacement, he selflessly threw himself upon it, sacrificing his life to save his comrades. For his "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity" on this occasion, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Harold G. Epperson is buried at Town Cemetery, Winchester, Kentucky.
USS Epperson (DD-719), (1945-1976), was named after Private First Class Harold G. Epperson.

Knoxville (WVLT) – The holidays are a time of year where we are often brought face to face with the needs of the less fortunate in our community.
But how much do we truly understand about another person's plight?
The Salvation Army has been on the front lines of that fight for more than a century.
On Saturday, they spent the morning preparing Christmas boxes.
For some of the volunteers, it gave them a glimpse of how the other half lives.
The charity is almost like an army in that they had a lot of help on Saturday, between the boxers and always visible bell ringers.
"We're just trying to find a way to make the boxes get filled as easily as possible," said Eileen Smith.
It may not be back breaking work, but plenty of heart driven effort is required.
So for hours, the crew of hard workers went about in teams, creating bountiful gifts.
Among them were younger folks from Webb Middle School, there to pitch in with the adults, some with years of experience.
"I guess you develop a technique," said Ted Stewart, "whether you go down on one side or you alternate."
The packages of care were filled with the obvious staples along with common sense basics, all packed together with a sure hand for a total of 1,200 boxes.
"It makes you feel very lucky to have what you have and understand that people don't have as much," Smith said.
The volunteering is a personal joy for some, but gives a deeper sense of hope to others.
"This really shows the true meaning of Christmas," said Raines. I'm blessed and God has truly blessed me. I'm thankful for what I've got and hopefully won't get to that point."
The boxes will be distributed next Saturday at 9:00 AM at the Food City Plaza on North Broadway.
Clothing and toys are part of the package.

project safe childhood
golden man sentenced to 35 years for producing child porn, possessing counterfeit currency
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. B David M. Ketchmark, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Golden, Mo., man was sentenced in federal court today for producing child pornography and possessing counterfeit currency.
Timothy C. Stringer, 35, of Golden, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to 35 years in federal prison without parole. Stringer was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the sexual exploitation of a minor, which is the statutory maximum penalty, and five years in prison for possessing counterfeit currency, with the court ordering those sentences be served consecutively.
On April 23, 2012, Stringer pleaded guilty to using a 15-year-old minor to produce child pornography. Stringer admitted that he took pornographic photos of the minor with two cell phones and a digital camera between Feb. 6 and June 14, 2010. The images produced by the cell phones and camera included photos of Stringer and the minor engaged in sex.
On April 17, 2012, Stringer pleaded guilty to possessing nine counterfeit $100 bills.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randall D. Eggert. It was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service Administration, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Barry County, Mo., Sheriff's Department and the Cassville, Mo., Police Department.
Project Safe ChildhoodThis case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Are you looking out ways to improve your online lead generation? You're in the right place if the answer to that question is yes. This article focuses on three excellent tips to help you generate better leads.
If you're aiming at purchasing leads then go for only those companies that are known to give pre-screen, highly targeted leads that will help you get a better return on your investment. There are tons of fake companies and people that say in error that they can get you quality leads. But when you actually buy them, they are generally unresponsive leads. It is always a better bet to generate your own leads instead of purchasing them. But, if you see this as an option, be careful with who you deal with before you pay any money.
If you want people to come to your website and become prospects, then make yourself known as an expert figure. This is the key step to getting high quality leads. Second are the landing pages and offers. You have to give a reason to your prospects to want and trust your offers. Your credibility has a huge part in getting better leads.
So whatever method you have in accomplishing this make sure that it has a major impact on your credibility.
Keep offers current by updating your landing page when offering some special promotion to your prospects to help increase lead generation. Your offers need to be up to date to keep prospective customers from landing on an expired offer and becoming frustrated with your site enough to look elsewhere. Every lead you generate for your business is important which is why it's so important to pay close attention to the smallest of details. Update, Update, Update, in order to keep the leads streaming in be consistent.
In conclusion, generating high quality leads is all about precision. This will only happen when you know what you are doing. Consistent testing and tracking is need to have the right path for your lead generation program. Your landing page will become perfect as you continue to invest more time in it through the years. Remember the feedback from your potential customers. Once you get your lead generation program up and running successfully, you'll be able to duplicate it in your other businesses and reap the same kind of results. So, do what you have been taught and see the profits rise.

For a while there I was getting worried that we'd never make it to 300 pages. Now we have it in our sights
Helmets! Bells! Rego!
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Au contraire ....... In this case, it IS mhl. Just that the enforcing body is different. Worksafe has much bigger teeth, too
And it's not a "litigious and blameshifting judicial system". It's Occupational Health and Safety.
Human you're missing my point in your righteous indignation......if Worksafe was to get hold of this issue, there'd be no point in fighting or even arguing it. Been there, done that. I've been rorted by ex-employees for year(s) at a time, to the point where my Worksafe agent sics Worksafe onto them. I'm not saying I'd refuse to employ non-helmet wearing blokes if there were no mhl's out of hand. I'm saying that if they didn't wear helmets I'd take serious industry-based legal advice on the question. What's wrong with due diligence? And as far as right now...with the law as it stands....is concerned? No helmet, no job. Blame me if you really want to....but truth is it's the law. You're not expecting me to take responsibility for someone else's actions are you?
You know you can get the sack for refusing to wear a long seeved shirt on the job in civil construction nowadays? You really think that MHL's are that far a stretch.....and repealable?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
And your ignored my question. Do you ban people from riding motorbikes to work?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Can you honestly say you don't know the answer to your own question?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I didn't ignore your question. I thought it was rhetorical.
Of course I don't ban people from riding motorcycles; any more than I ban people from riding bicycles
1. I said
I'd sack them, not ban anybody Big difference. Basically....I can't make people do what the law says to do, and what's more I'm not paid to nor do I have any interest in doing so. What I can do is protect my business from unnecessary potential Worksafe issues. IF that was the possible consequence of Employee X breaking the law with my knowledge or aquiescence.
2. The danger.....real or percieved in either activity (cycling or moto) is irrelevant. It is merely a question of law and it's interpretation. IF an employee insisted on riding his motorcycle to work, sans helmet, then yes, I'd give him a choice. Job or lifestyle. But realistically that doesn't happen (I actually have 2 employees that ride motorcycles to work, one of whom also alternates that with a bicycle).
There is another question here, as well. Our wok is typically High Risk, and is carried out in work crews of at least 3 men (no...I'm not discriminating Women welcome to apply). Each person has a well defined position, and each is interchangable with the other. But none are able to be avoided, and each member of that crew relies on the others quite literally to look out for his life. Part of my assessment when considering a new employee is how well they'll fit into the crew and business as a whole. A person who chooses to break the law (MHL scenario) or ride without a helmet (Non MHL scenario) is not going to give me a lot of confidence given our work depends on safety both personal and reciprocal. Again.....we are talking about OH&S here. A subject I take very seriously.
Now, again I have to ask YOU the question
You're not expecting me to take responsibility for someone else's actions are you?
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
All good points Mr The zob but I think there is no employer liability for journeys to and from work now, at least in NSW.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Sadly, Zob is clearly not speaking from inexperience.
It just shows how much impact a coercive law like the MHL extends.
You have officially become your parents.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Ken....a large part of me speaks from fear. At least where worksafe is concerned. An excellent, absolutely necessary body that can unfortunately be rorted mercilessly by the less scrupulous and that can destroy a small business faster than a speeding bullet
Xplora claimed earlier
And even though in my eyes it's a extension of MHL's, the issue I outline is more than that. When converted to an OH&S issue all concerns are amplified and there is no such thing as an "opinion". This is the legacy of a modern, "enlightened" society that prides itself on equality and opportunity for all. How many people haven't seen a worksafe type ad on TV extolling the virtue of coming home alive? When the tide began to turn against them, building unions embraced OH&S as the rock upon which to anchor their legitimacy. Ban Shoppies? No worries...yesterday's Shoppy is todays Safety Rep. Computers came on the scene, in order to make our lives easy? Hello RSI Worksite safety is a behemoth that stands alone in it's all powerful glory, ready and willing to protect us all, rich or poor, smart or dumb. Preferably poor and dumb The very idea that Safety can be bargained down or lessened in any way is anathema to today's society. And you think that MHL's can be repealed? As I asked earlier...who is going to go into a classroom of 8 year olds and tell them that wearing helmets is selfish and not necessary (both common claims here)? I think that opponants of MHL's would do well to treat the issue as one that requires the Safety questions to be addressed and negated, and not as one of personal distaste, an impost on individual freedoms or other such ideas.
Personally...in this society, with the range of political options we have, I can't see that ever happening.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Zob, as an employer you are not responsible for your employees' safety on their journey to or from work. The only possible exception I could see is the one you mentioned about drinking on your premises and having an accident on the way home, that one they could claim you contributed to, but that is more of a comment on the legal system than anything else.
No-one here has said that wearing a helmet is selfish, what is selfish is forcing others to follow your dictates. And, yes, I would go into a classroom of 8 year olds and tell them how safe cycling is and how I, as an 8 year old on roads with less cars but a road toll about 3-4 times what it is now, safely rode around when I was 8 without a helmet and I see no reason why they should be forced to wear one. The fact of the matter is that I would be howled down if I did this today. But, if I did this 40 years ago (when the roads in Victoria were so dangerous 1,000 people died on the roads each year) I would be seen as a cycling advocate and encouraging fitness, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle for our children. But attitudes have changed and MHLs have contributed to this. Cycling is seen as a dangerous way to get around and MHLs are largely responsible for this change in attitude. The effect of MHLs is even more obvious when you consider school children. I ride past two schools and near another on my daily commute and I see no kids riding to school day after day after day.
As far as I'm concerned anyone who supports MHLs is an advocate for reducing the number of people who cycle.
Riding: Cannondale Quick Speed 2
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
So why do you consider riding a motorbike to work acceptable but not riding a bicycle without a helmet. Or would you fire people for riding motorbikes? Riding a motorbike is SIGNIFICANTLY more dangerous than riding a bicycle to work without a helmet.
It already has occured partially in Darwin.
Say What? How the hell do you figure that? Nobody is saying wearing helmets is selfish!
The safety questions have been addressed 100s of times. MHLs do no improve safety! Furthermore if comes down to a safety question the real elephant in the room is getting rid of the killing machines, cars!
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Ya know, I can argue against MHL's all day, but I think that it is a testament to the bloody-minded ess of human nature how ore all suddenly expects on workplace industrial law, telling Mr Zob he is wrong, when he clearly knows, and needs to know exactly what his rights and obligations are.
Sometimes people, black is actually black, you know.
However, I do see it as part of the larger problem of coercive laws, "gotcha" legal culture and our adversarial legal system.
Another issue is that he needs a certain type of personality to fit his team. No problem there. Sounds like high tension power line work or something
The problem arises whe it is not acknowledged taht a different personality type that does not fit that team, is still valid. For example,, I often work in remote areas where AI am the only doctor, I don't have a team, I have to think on my feet and react quickly to evolving and changing circumstances. sobs team personality type typically sees me as an unreliable maverick, and tries to confine me but I need my style to do what I do.

Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
His 'rights and obligation's don't extend to telling people how to get to and from work. If he was talking about people transporting themselves during work hours for work purposes then he would sadly be correct. In fact even sadder, I think in Australia a workplace could make a strong case against ANY bicycle use. Naturally things that occur on workplace that AFFECT people getting to and from work such as alcohol or fatigue are relevant. Mr Zob isn't the only person who directly deals with workplace health and safety.
Relating bicycle MHL to the workplace is a furphy.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
What part of this concept are you having difficulties understanding? It's not a question of safety....it's a question of legal liability. Something that some of you anti-helmet law blokes need to get your head around
You just don't get it aye? I thought you were just indulging in a little obfuscation, but maybe your not used to looking beyond the world in front of you?
I'M NOT questioning the "Safety" of wearing a helmet. I'm pointing out that should Worksafe get hold of this then "Safety" issues that you've never even considered will be brought foward, and it would introduce a whole new level of enforcement....the employer. Having an ignorance of how workplace OH&S can operate is fair enough, but revelling in that ignorance in an effort to "win" an argument does little to protect your rights. Do you have any idea of how many people have to wear a hard hat once they step ou of their car....no matter where they are? Electrical industry workers that merely inspect poles at the base? Water industry workers that are looking for a sewer or water point in your front yard? As I pointed out earlier....try working for any reputable company in shorts or a t-shirt these days.....and don't even start thinking about not putting your hi-viz on
Much as I agree with you on a philisophical level, in reality it's an issue.....and if anything it will become greater, not smaller.
You're from Victoria.....think on this. Those Worksafe ads? The ones that are promoting the basic health checks to be given to employees in the employer's workplace during working hours? Here.....
and a quick precis CnP'd from that site
So now an employer is being held responsible for an employee's health vicariously If an employer is going to reimburse a bloke's gym membership, then insisting on the wearing of a helmet when cycling is no longer such an imposition, aye?
Thin edge of the wedge
Hey Human...taken from here.... http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/injurie ... laims.aspx
from here... http://workforcelegal.com.au/pages/faq- ... cover.html
Not absolute....but I didn't claim that, did I? Slater and Gorden are constantly trying to find new ways to cotton wrap the employee.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
You would be surprised.
In Queensland, travel to and from work is still covered. Sounds to me like Zob has seen the inside of a court room over these issues.
I know places where there are work orders on how to butter bread, literally, because one numb nuts cut himself on a lunch break.
You are probably right, that some people could make a case against anything, including riding a bike to work. I say that sympathetically.
Some employers are refusing to employ men who play rugby league too, because of teh injury rate. I find it hard to fault that thinking.
You have officially become your parents.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Often I do. Not to mention safety glasses, hivis, steel caps. Stop acting like you are the only person who has dealt with safety in the workplace.
Legally liable for what? You can't be liable without the duty of care. In Victoria that does not extend to after work hours unless it directly related to actions within work hours, eg alohol & fatigue, injury from work, etc.
But not in Victoria. Either way this discussion isn't about workcover and work health and safety. I'm really not sure its relevance the only reason it came up was that Zob is in the belief that he fire people for the basis of their method of getting to work.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Shrug. There are plenty of no-fault workers' comp systems, so the claim that there is no liability without (breach of the?) duty of care isn't correct. Some pretty whacky stuff has gone on with OHS laws and zob's evident wish not to be a test case is eminently reasonable, in my non-expert opinion. 'Course, IANAL, best regard me as a fool or a liar, etc etc.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Then stop acting like you have no knowledge of the possibilties here Look....you're the one who wants to present cycling as a safe activity that doesn't require a helmet. Instead of acting as though you have all the answers and that you are the sole arbitrator of where the issue starts and ends wouldn't you be better off addressing all possibilities? You seem to forget that I don't support MHL's .....but you are still intent on making me responsible for your choices.
It's just a discussion....one that I've never thought of before so new thoughts are coming daily. Hence the questions and hypotheses
btw....I think you made the statement that I want to fire people based on their method of getting to work. That's not correct. Any action I take would be based on the legal liabilities that I am open to. What you're accusing me of is discrimination. That's a disgusting thing to accuse a person of, and something I take very seriously. Please don't do that again. If I'm wrong, then fair enough.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
The thing with employees is they can sting you either way - OH&S/WorkSafe for anything that could happen during work hours and, if you terminate their employment (be it a legitimate termination or otherwise), the bad (or even good) eggs will sue via unfair dismissal or unlawful termination etc. Thus necessitating you rocking up to whatever tribunal/court is the current flavour of the day and wasting time and money fighting the claim.
If you mandated the use of wearing a helmet to get to your workplace (irrespective if that is the law or not) and fired someone for not doing so I'm pretty sure the employee is going to stick it to you and you'll find yourself in court.
And even if you're insured sometimes the insurer decides to be stupid and not stump up either, even if it is clearly within the policy.
All I can say is I'm glad I'm not an employer.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
How do I know what state Zob is in, apart from a state of reasonable debate ?
You have officially become your parents.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
Familiarity with each other and the use of the same usernames on the BV forums.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I wasn't the one trying to apply work safety a discussion on MHL for bicycles. Nor do I think they have much to do with it. I was simply responding to you comment. But now it seems you have retracted it.
Yet earlier you said...
So if somebody chose as their method of getting to work cycling without a helmet....
Anyway I'm done with debating workplace laws. I absolutely agree that Workplace laws have overstretched and are ridiculously insane. I've had no disagreements there. But that isn't a discussion for this thread.
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
zob is totally within his expertise and reasonable on this issue - assuming a repealed MHL. it's all a bit hypothetical and fighty under the current situation because an employer would have a case to stand by if someone started to ride home without a helmet or without a seatbelt on and they did nothing to prevent that from happening. Contributory negligence, no different to booze. Doesn't make it right... but that's OHS laws for you lol
Re: Mandatory Helmet Laws & stuff (Was One & ONLY Helmet Thr
I don't quite know what you mean by "no different to booze" but this whole statement seems at odds with the High Court's decision in CAL v Scott [2009] HCA 47.

If the Tigers go 10-5 and the Sox go 7-8, it will be a tie and it will hardly be because someone "collapsed". There's a long way to go. If we were up 3 with like 8 to play, then yeah that would be a collapse, but not at 15, where merely going .500 (which is not an awful thing) is good enough to get you beat.
The key for Chicago will be really taking care of business against Cleveland. We've got 6 games against them left and we need to win 4 of those games because the Anaheim and Tampa Bay series will be tough.
I'm going to peg the White Sox as needing 9 more wins to pull this off. I know DET has had issues with MIN and KC, but those are weak teams. If they can win 2 out of 3 vs. OAK and I think they will, I could see them winning each of their remaining series 2-1 and the KC series 3-1, so that would put them at around 11-4, so we need to go 9-6.
9 more. If we can get 4 from Cleveland, that leaves 5 more. I'll give us one win vs. Anaheim, two wins out of four vs. Tampa Bay, that's 7. Sale HAS to beat Chen tomorrow and Chen has had our number a little bit. We need to win tomorrow for sure cause Verlander will win. That would be 8 and then we need one more win, somewhere. If we can get to 9, it would force them to win 12 and that's tough.
KFC is up 1 -0 on WS. I was at the last Chen Sale game, we barely won that one thanks to a Danks dropped fly but hoping we can come back tonight, nothing like getting owned by a bad team during a penant run.

Born from an especially brutal al Qaeda faction, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has grown from relative obscurity in recent years to overshadow its extremist patrons. It now terrorizes large swaths of Syria and Iraq, has become the target of the
largest U.S. military operation
in Iraq in years and, with the
public, cold-blooded execution
of multiple
, dominates headlines the world over.
Where Did ISIS Come From?
While extremist groups are generally amorphous organizations, ISIS can trace its history directly back to the Sunni terrorist organization al Qaeda, specifically the Iraq faction, al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). AQI, led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was responsible for scores of bombings, kidnappings and
in Iraq following the U.S. invasion there. After al-Zarqawi was killed in 2006 by an American airstrike, leadership of the group eventually fell to an experienced Iraqi fighter, Abu Du'a, better known as
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
AQI was weakened in Iraq in 2007 as a result of what is known as the Sunni Awakening, when a large alliance of Iraqi Sunni tribes, supported by the U.S., fought against the jihadist group. AQI saw an opportunity to regain its power and expand its ranks in the Syrian conflict that started in 2011, moving into Syria from Iraq. By 2013, al-Baghdadi had spread his group's influence back into Iraq and changed the group's name to ISIS, "reflecting its greater regional ambitions," according to the
U.S. State Department
. ISIS, as the group has been identified by ABC News and other news organizations, refers to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Different translations of the Arabic name al-Baghdadi gave his organization have spawned other English-language versions such as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (also ISIS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
READ: US Says 'No Reason to Doubt' Veracity of Video Featuring Shadowy Iraqi Terror Leader
Is ISIS Part of Al Qaeda?
Although originally an al Qaeda affiliate, ISIS and al-Baghdadi had a public falling out last year with Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's replacement and leader of al Qaeda "core," over the role of another al Qaeda group, the
al-Nursa Front
, in Syria. This February a letter obtained by the
Long War Journal
reportedly showed al Qaeda's senior leadership was so fed up with al-Baghdadi that it severed all connection with ISIS. By declaring himself the "caliph" of the Islamic State in June, al-Baghdadi appears to have challenged al-Zawahiri directly for the allegiance of all Muslim extremists.
How Has ISIS Been So Successful in Iraq?
ISIS has seen a series of successes as it has cut its way from Syria into Iraq and towards Baghdad using a combination of military expertise and unimaginable brutality. Social media accounts associated with ISIS have published disturbing videos purportedly showing ISIS fighters taunting, torturing and executing scores of unarmed prisoners. In addition, former senior U.S. military officials who served in Iraq and helped train the Iraqi security forces said that ISIS has been able to take advantage of government forces who lack the motivation to
put up a good fight
against ISIS in some areas.
The Iraqi government and much of its military officer corps are mostly made up of Shi'a Muslims, whereas much of the areas ISIS has retained in Iraq is predominantly Sunni, like ISIS –- meaning the Iraqi military forces are often operating in areas where the local population may be more willing to tolerate, or even support ISIS. ISIS has also built relations of convenience with disgruntled local Sunni tribes and ex-Baathists who have felt marginalized and disenfranchised by the Maliki-led government in Baghdad, which has been accused of favoring Shi'as. ISIS wasn't handed its first major defeat until mid-August when Kurdish and Iraqi forces, supported by an aggressive U.S. aerial bombing campaign, pushed the terror group off
the Mosul Dam
, a key piece of infrastructure.
READ: Why Control of a Terrifying Dam in Iraq Is Life or Death for Half Million People
How Big Is ISIS and Where Are They Getting Their Fighters?
Western officials only have rough estimates on ISIS's total fighting force, but the CIA says the group could have more than 30,000 fighters. Most disturbing to western security officials, they say, is the huge portion of foreign fighters who left their homes and at times traveled halfway around the world to join the terror group. Matthew Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center,
said in July
that more than 12,000 foreign fighters had traveled to Syria to fight with extremist groups, many of them now counted among ISIS's ranks, including more than 1,000 westerners, around 100 of them American. Later estimates put the number of foreign fighters in Syria at approximately 15,000.
READ: Hundreds of Western Fighters in Middle East, Official Says
Is ISIS a Threat to the U.S.?
Though al-Baghdadi has threatened the U.S. in general before, ISIS has primarily focused its attention on its regional ambitions. That may have changed with the prominent U.S. role in pushing ISIS off the Mosul Dam, as evidenced in the video of the execution of American journalist James Foley and those that followed. In Foley's video, a purported ISIS fighter addressed President Obama directly, saying Foley's death is retaliation for the
U.S. airstrikes
. Likewise, ISIS threatened the U.K. to halt its support of strikes before murdering a British national. In mid-September, an ISIS spokesperson called on Muslims the world over to kill civilians in any country that joined the U.S.-led coalition against the terror group, including the U.S.

ISIS Persecution of Minority Groups
ISIS has been especially ruthless in its targeting of minorities in areas that have come under its control. In addition to the scores who have been brutally murdered, countless Christians, Yazidis and other minorities have been forced to flee areas they've called home for centuries. In August, thousands of Yazidis had to be rescued by Kurdish forces after being trapped with very little food and water in harsh conditions on the Sinjar mountains where they hid from ISIS. ISIS also brutalizes fellow Sunni and Shi'a Muslims who do not ascribe to its extreme interpretation of the religion, and the group has destroyed priceless archaeological sites.
WATCH: Situation for Stranded Yazidis on Mount Sinjar Worsens
American journalist James Foley was on assignment for the news outlet GlobalPost to cover the conflict in Syria when he was abducted in November 2012. Foley's family, U.S. officials and other reporters kept the kidnapping a secret until January 2013 when Foley's family decided to break their silence and beg for their son's return.
Foley's captors, whoever they were, hadn't made contact, the family said. The U.S. government
increased its effort to find Foley,
using unlikely messengers including the Turks, the Czechs and the Russians to get word to potential abductors on either side of the Syrian conflict. In November 2013 a ransom demand for an astronomical sum of money -- $132 million -- was received, according to GlobalPost CEO Phil Balboni, but it wasn't taken seriously. Efforts continued to free Foley, including a
secret, failed U.S. military rescue mission
in the summer of 2014. But following U.S. airstrikes on ISIS in August, Foley was killed on camera by a self-professed member of the terror group.
READ: Could Money Have Saved James Foley? ISIS 'Wasn't Serious' About Demands, Officials Say
Days after the video of James Foley's execution emerged, similar footage appeared online, this time showing the apparent murder of another American journalist, Steven Sotloff. Sotloff was featured in Foley's video, with the militant telling President Obama that Sotloff's life was in the President's hands. Undeterred, the U.S. continued to hit ISIS with dozens of airstrikes.
Sotloff was a freelance reporter whose work on the Middle East appeared in TIME and Foreign Policy among others. He disappeared in Syria in August 2013. After Foley's execution video appeared online, Sotloff's mother, Shirley, made a videotaped plea to ISIS leader al-Baghdadi to have mercy on her son.
At the end of the video that appeared to show Sotloff's death, the militant in black stands beside another kneeling hostage, identified as a British citizen.
"We take this opportunity to warn those governments that enter this evil alliance of America against the Islamic State [ISIS] to back off and leave our people alone," he says.

For the most part having a heart attack is a serious matter indeed and a person should always get themselves checked for the cause and then work towards controlling it as well. Causes of heart attacks include many different things such as the food a person eats, the kind of life style that a person leads and many other things that make a person feel weak and also is not sufficient enough to give a person proper nutrition as well as proper dose of proteins and stuff.
That is the main cause that these days people at odd ages of life have now also begun to suffer and experience sever heart attacks at times when they least expect it as well as being perfectly healthy and still end up having one. It is not uncommon these days for a young person at the prime age of 39 to 40 could have a heart attack and still be in good health and shape.
Our lifestyles and our diets have become such that makes us put on a lot of weight but doesn't make us actually get healthy inside and that is why most people are suffering from many illnesses. When a person has a heart attack it can be of many kinds as well. A massive heart attack is one which has extreme symptoms and at times the result can be death or something more fatal and taxing to a person's health.
The most common symptom of a massive heart attack is:
Heart failure: this is when the heart completely stops and seizes this is a very fatal symptom and yet it is a common one as well. One can only survive or rescue this condition if get a medical assistance on time, other wise things can go from bad to worst in no time.
The rescuers make sure that your heart start beating like a normal man or they carry on giving you a treatment until they feel that you are out of danger now. This is also known as cardiac arrest and can occur to almost anyone at anytime with no prior warning. So if your eating habits and life style is not healthy, be ready for such kind of a circumstance at any point in your life.
There are many people who have had another very massive heart attack symptom and that is a stroke. Due to the heart arresting the blood gets thick and causes big clots, which consequently stop or resist the normal blood flow to or away from your heart, which could lead to very fatal damages to a person.
These are amongst the most common as well as the most dangerous massive heart attack symptoms.

I will be 42 weeks on Monday, and if our little one does not come along by himself before then we have an induction scheduled to begin on Sunday night. We are still hoping for our natural birth, but what will be, will be.
I need to hear some encouraging words from other mum's who carried to 42 weeks or who plan to do so. I know in my rational mind that carrying to 42 weeks is just fine if mum & baby are doing well (which thankfully we are), but sometimes the opinions of others get to me and make me jumpy (I have had many comments such as 'why haven't you been induced yet?' ; Isn't it dangerous to keep the baby inside this long?) For this reason we are not telling anyone except our parents about the scheduled induction, but still people can't help giving their unwanted 'advice'!!
Thanks in advance for any supportive words
I was induced this last week at 41 weeks, 6 days this past weekend. We were also hoping for a natural birth but for a slew of reasons, it wasn't meant to be. Our daughter ended up being born by emergency cesarean and spent 2 days in the NICU, although it was due to complications from the induction and not necessarily from carrying her to 42 weeks.
Everything thought we were crazy for waiting as long as we did to induce, but I'm glad we did. Even at 42 weeks, my body wasn't ready for her to come out and as a result the induction didn't go very well. I think if you have to be induced, giving your body as much time to be ready for labor as possible is the best chance you have to reach your natural birth goals.
Good luck!

In my recent post about Charlotte Small, I noted how the absence of written records creates intriguing gaps in our narratives of the past. As a counterpoint, there is no doubting the fascination of written documents when we are digging for an understanding of people and places.
My own research went on a bit of side tangent this week, while working on my memoir of place about the boggy west country of central Alberta. I recall my (deceased) father having said that my grandfather had homesteaded at Blue Rapids, an area on the North Saskatchewan River southwest of Drayton Valley, Alberta.
So I set out seeking documentation. Among the documents I turned up were my grandfather's record of entry into Canada. He crossed the border, as an 18 years old, at Kingsgate (Idaho / British Columbia) on October 11, 1911. The Canada Immigration document also lists who was traveling with him - his father and his brother. Interesting. Neither the father (my great-grandfather) or brother stayed in Canada. Did they just come up here to help my grandfather get his homestead set up?
We turn to documents assuming a certain degree of accuracy. Often, though, they raise new questions. My grandfather's immigration record shows his name as "Daniel" in one place and "Daniels" in another. That's likely just a clerical slip - most people want to add an "s" to our family name. But of course one wonders - was the name initially Daniels, only to be changed to Daniel by some much earlier clerical error?
In an event, I turned to the Alberta homestead records online and found two homestead claims in my grandfather's name. None at the Blue Rapids location, as I suspected (it remains Crown land) but one is the location west of Edmonton where my father was born in 1917. Another interesting bit - the homestead registry includes the names of grandad's fellow travelers - his father and brother.
Did they intend to share the homestead in Alberta, or were they just fulfilling some administrative obligation to help out gramps? Did they stay for a few weeks? months? years?
As I say, documents can raise as many questions as they answer. Which is why so many writers, I suppose, turn to fiction in order to tell a complete story. This nonfiction stuff just has too many loose ends.

Video: Asher Roth f/ Akon – 'Last Man Standing' »
Video: Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse – 'Body and Soul'
On what would have been her 28th birthday, Tony Bennett releases the video for his duet with the late Amy Winehouse. The soothing jazz tune, which will appear on Bennett's star-studded album Duets II (Sept. 20), is said to be the singer's last completed recording before she passed away in July and serves as a lasting tribute to her tremendous talent.
The clip, comprised of footage from their recording sessions in March at Abbey Road Studios in London, was filmed by Oscar-winning cinematographer Dion Beebe (Chicago).
"We had a beautiful time recording together in the studio and I knew that Amy was very happy with how she performed that day," said Bennett. "I thought she was absolutely brilliant and this recording truly captures the essence of her unique artistry. She was a rare talent."
Proceeds from the song and video, both available on iTunes, will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Lake Worth
As a rule, beware of bands euphemistically named for boners. In the case of the Hard Richards, though, we'll grant a pass, because these old-school Boynton Beach boys bash out straight-ahead ska punk without any wink-wink wanksterism. That doesn't mean, however, that the Richards aren't lewd, crude, and loud. It's just that cuts like "Freedom," "Sex," and "Drinking Time" deliver a no-bullshit sound with just the right amount of aggro juvenilia, horn section cronk, and sing-along snottiness. Founded way back in 1994 as a trio, the band has naturally experienced some membership realignment over the course of its 16-year history. Since its 1996 debut disc, On the Move, two of three founding members have departed. These days, in addition to O.G. frontman Steve A. on vocals and guitar, the Richards feature five other players: bassist Iiro, guitarist Matt K., drummer Evan, and John B. sucking the sax, plus official rude boy Alex R. But, old or new, you don't know the Hard Richards until you've seen them live, so go (re)experience the "pure fucking energy, circle pits, and bloody fists" when these dicks stroke it for a full house at Propaganda.

Indiana Territory -- Beginnings
The Slavery Question
In spite of the provision in the Ordinance of 1787 that there should be "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude" in the Northwest Territory, otherwise than for the punishment of crimes, there was from the first a pronounced attempt to make it legal in Indiana. The entering wedge for this attempt was the fact that Negro slavery had existed among the French. This continued to exist and its elimination was but laxly followed up. It is estimated that in 1800 there were one hundred seventy-five slaves in the territory, twenty-eight of which were at Vincennes. In some instances the "involuntary servitude" clause was avoided by the slaves agreeing by indentures or contracts to remain with their masters for a certain number of years.
With the incoming American population were many southerners that were favorable to slavery and Governor Harrison himself decidedly leaned that way. In December of 1802, pursuant to a proclamation issued by the Governor, an election was held in the various counties to choose delegates for a convention at Vincennes on the twentieth of that month, the purpose of which was to consider the slavery proviso in the ordinance. This was a movement of the slavery element, and the result of the convention was a memorial to Congress petitioning that the proviso be suspended. The argument made was, in part, that such suspension "would be highly advantageous to the territory"; that "the abstract question of liberty and slavery" was not involved, and that the slaves themselves would be benefited as those possessed in small numbers by farmers "were better fed and better clothed than when they were crowded together in quarters by hundreds" (Dillon). The committee to which this memorial was referred disapproved of the suspension and Congress took no action. That, however, by no means ended the matter and the attempts to saddle slavery upon the territory continued throughout the territorial period. Meanwhile the antislavery element was not indifferent or idle and the political history of those years is in no small degree one of party alignment on that question. Generally speaking, the Harrison party of Knox County which stood for slavery was opposed by Clark County and the Quaker elements of the Whitewater, with whom Jonathan Jennings became a conspicuous leader, and whom, in 1816, they made the first Governor of the State. By 1816 the anti-slavery element had so gained in strength as to elect a large majority of the delegates to the constitutional convention of that year, and by virtue of this the Indiana State Constitution fixed firmly the status of Indiana as one of the free commonwealths. This was the beginning of the end, but the tenacity of this nefarious cancer on the body politic is well illustrated by the fact that as late as 1840 a few slaves were reported in Indiana in open violation of the constitutional law (the sub-title to J. P. Dunn's "Indiana" is "A Redemption From Slavery," and the book is primarily an exhaustive study of this particular question, which the author holds to be an important formative factor in our history).

Butler's Roosevelt Jones will miss the 2013 season
Butler Bulldogs junior forward Roosevelt Jones will miss the entire 2013 season with torn ligaments in his left wrist.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Jones tore ligaments in his left wrist when he took a hard fall just four minutes into the team's first game in Australia on August 6. The Indianapolis Star notes that, according to Butler Head coach Brandon Miller, Jones put his wrist out to brace his fall after going up for a shot. Jones will redshirt this season and has two years of eligibility remaining when he returns in 2014.
"Roosevelt suffered an injury that resulted in ligament damage to his left wrist, and he'll undergo season-ending surgery," Butler head athletic trainer Ryan Galloy said in the school's release, according to CBS Sports. "His prognosis is good and he's expected to make a full recovery for next season."
"It hurt me for him to have to hear that," Miller said Friday, according to the Indianapolis Star. "It's just one of those things you can't control. He was having great practices before we left and was in terrific shape."
As CBS Sports notes, Jones was the Bulldogs' top returning scorer and rebounder with averages of 10.1 points and 5.6 rebounds.
Butler will resume their conditioning and weight room workouts in September, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Location are great
No water some days Never had hot water when we had water Wi fi not good Would not recommend
The location was stunning with easy access via water taxi to the other resort beaches in the area. Easy walk into town. Hotel provided tours to nearby mineral springs waterfalls, sulphur mudbaths, etc.Great staff and very relaxing atmosphere. Beautiful hummingbirds were everywhere.
We opted for the non air conditioned rooms next to the swimming pool. While they had a stunning few and were clean, in July they were hot. Staff quickly gave us floor fans which helped. Lots of mosquittos - not Hummingbird;s fault - they recommended getting citronella gel which helped.
Location was amazing. A beautiful view of the pitons and hummingbirds abound!
The service at breakfast was rather slow. Be prepared to be on Caribbean time!
Being in Soufriere was the perfect location for the activities we wanted to do and for being able to see both the Pitons all the time. The staff was great - helpful, responsive and professional. The breakfast fruit was a joy, the rest of included breakfast okay. The one dinner we had there was good.
The resort itself could use some updating for a fresher look and feel. Doesn't have to be fancy, just newer and fresher.
Independent locally owned hotel. After one night we were move to room 3 which was light and bright with large four poster bed completely covered in mozzie netting, a high vaulted ceiling and a small balcony overlooking sea and Petit Piton. Great location right on public beach with access to water taxis, dive school and an easy walk to town. I like local beaches which aren't made to be postcard perfect. Decent snorkelling right off beach and within easy taxi boat distance to other snorkelling areas Small pool in a lovely garden with lots of hummingbird and a great view. Lovely staff Only ate dinner twice but very nice food with local organic veg. Soufriere is a 'proper' town with everything you need inc. banks, doctor, supermarkets, local bars, some restaurants. Despite my negative comments, we really did enjoy our stay.
Spent first night in king suite (5) which was not as described. It felt dark with low ceilings, had no view, no private sitting out area, mozzie nets on windows not fixed properly... Doubtful if carpet mats in front of toilets/sinks (in either room) were changed for each guest. The dining area has very uncomfortable seating. Bar area stools not much better. Nowhere in the hotel communal areas where you could comfortably sit and relax apart from plastic chairs around the pool. Breakfast not up to scratch for the money. Not offered fresh juice and when we did ask, most days it was from cartons. The coffee and tea were abysmal. Outside shower block was always locked so unusable unless you found 'security' to open them.
The location was good and the restaurant had good food. The dive shop located on the nearby beach was very friendly and had reasonably priced diving.
I did not feel like Hummingbird represented good value for money. Understanding that Soufriere is expensive anyway, I did not feel that this place was anywhere close to as nice as it should have been for the price that you pay. The shower water pressure was very poor, our toilet leaked all over the floor, our sink faucet dripped constantly (all of which were noted to the hotel staff...our toilet finally got fixed on the last day, before then they just placed a little container under the pipe to catch the water which overflowed). We tried to book a catamaran tour on any of the four days we were in Soufriere to be told that they couldn't get a hold of the company. Eventually we stopped asking since it was clear they had no interest in helping us book anything. All in, spotty service, poor quality rooms, but good location and views of Petit Piton.
Location is fantastic for this city, and is very close to town. Staff is friendly, and beach is nicest stretch in Soufriere.
This hotel is an old folks home. If you're young, you're going to feel a little out of place here.
We loved The Hummingbird Beach Resort, the hotel, the staff, the location and the food! This quaint hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and it was lovely to sit and chat with Joyce the owner and her family. Would defiantly like to return!
We stayed in room 5 and it could do with a little updating, but I think this was about to happen as we left. However this would not deter me from visiting again.
Shrimp curry made with fresh coconut milk very good. Staff delightful and very helpful
Rooms dark
It is a small, intimate hotel that is very relaxing and friendly. It is close to many tourist sites which are amazing. The view of the Petit Piton and the harbour is outstanding. There are beach chairs for the guests and it is lovely to sit and watch the sailboats go by. The best thing about the Hummingbird is the staff. They are always friendly and willing to do anything for you. The restaurant food is always very good and reasonably priced. They always serve local fruits and vegetables and get to try new things that are fresh. I will return.
It can sometimes be a bit noisy with boats bringing tourists from the north of the island.
Beautiful place with nice view to Grand Piton, excellent cousine, easy availability the centre of Soufriere.
They promised to pick up us at the airport, but nobody arrived.

Your smartphone blasts you into semiconsciousness at 3:20 in the morning. As you shakily grab its sides blue and white neon flash across the screen – "Warning! You are at risk of heart attack. Consult your physician immediately."
You stare at the messages, but the picture stays the same. Hit a few random buttons. The flashing does not stop. Finally you touch the icon for the app. Then press the big red button for "more information."
"There is a 46-78% chance of heart attack within the next 48 hours. Please consult your physician."
There's little choice – that little chip they injected into your arm was your spouse's expensive birthday present. You've never had any cardiac problems, any real medical problems for that matter. Yet your sister died suddenly last year.
The cardiologist on call for your medical group sounds even pissed off, but she starts to ask a lot of questions.

Video advertising has a much greater impact on a potential customer than an article or an advertisement in text format. Simply being inclined to glance through content quickly before they go to an alternative web site, the majority of Internet users today are in a terrible rush. So it only makes sense to create a video that will keep visitor's attention and keep them on your site longer.
But it's hard to find video producer who not only can make high quality explainer video and special effects, but also understand copywriting methods and how to apply them to make super effective sales videos.
The principal advantage that marketing by video gives you revolves around allowing you a tailored audience who is more excited about watching than they are about reading content. As it allows your information to interact with individuals who appreciate learning via videos, this can be a huge selling point.
Are you tired of getting a small stream of visitors that don't convert?
If your answer is yes, then you need to check out video marketing. It's definitely time for your marketing to change from depending just on written content, because the Internet is changing at the speed of light and becoming "video-ized" in a way you need to be a part of. Even though they would rather watch instead of read, there are a lot of people who log in each day and come across new content.
These are people who are more likely to feel at ease with learning on a visual basis, wherein all of the senses play a part. Website where you can buy whiteboard animation for your business is www.loudvideos.com. Video marketing has met this challenge using the powerful new format. Video is everywhere. It's online, in sales letters, landing pages, and newsletters as well. Video is literally all over the place. Video marketing has proven to be very effective and highly beneficial. In this article we will be discussing the real advantages of using video marketing and how it can help your online business.
