April 29, 1926
Died | November 15, 2005 New York, New York, U.S. |
(aged 79)
Ethnicity | Jewish |
Alma mater | B.A. University of Michigan |
Known for | co-founder of the Loews Corporation |
Spouse(s) | Joan Hyman |
Children | Steve Tisch Jonathan Tisch Laurie Tisch |
Parent(s) | Sadye Tisch Al Tisch |
Preston Robert "Bob" Tisch (April 29, 1926 – November 15, 2005) was an American businessman[1] who was the chairman and—along with his brother Laurence Tisch—was part owner of the Loews Corporation. From 1991 until his death, Tisch owned 50% of the New York Giants football team and shared ownership of the team with Wellington Mara.
Tisch was born in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn in 1926. Tisch received a BA degree in economics from the University of Michigan in 1948, and his wife Joan Tisch and his daughter also received degrees at the university. While in college Tisch was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu, a Jewish fraternity.[2]
On August 16, 1986, he was appointed Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, serving until March 1988. In 1991, Tisch bought a half-stake in the New York Football Giants from Wellington Mara's nephew Tim, who had inherited the share from his father and Wellington's brother Jack upon his death and who was suffering from Hodgkin's disease which would eventually claim his life. Tisch held the share until he died on November 15, 2005 from brain cancer; Tisch's death followed Mara's three weeks earlier from lymphoma. His share of the Giants passed to his son Steve, who co-owns the team with Mara's son John.
Tisch made substantial donations to his alma maters, leading to these institutions naming buildings and a school after him. Tisch Hall, on the University of Michigan central campus, houses that university's history department. New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and NYU Medical Center's Tisch Hospital are named after Laurence A. and Preston Robert Tisch. NYU's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management was founded in 1995 and expanded in 1999[3] to meet the needs of a growing student population. In 1997, the Central Park Zoo opened the Tisch Children's Zoo. Given two months to live by his New York doctors, Tisch lived for 14 more months under care at Duke University's Medical Center. In recognition of their efforts, the Tisch family donated $10 million to the Duke Brain Tumor Center which was renamed the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center in October 2005. The Tisch Building in New York City which is the headquarters of the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) is named for him and his wife, who is on the GMHC Board of Directors, after they donated $3.5 million for it in March 1997.[4]
Personal life[edit]
In 1948, he married Joan Hyman. They had three children:
- Steve Tisch is a producer who lives in Beverly Hills. He is the only Tisch child to leave the New York area and serves as the family's point man in their shared ownership of the New York Giants.
- Jonathan Tisch is the public face of the hotel division of Loews Corporation. In 1988, he married Laura Steinberg, the daughter of financier and insurance executive Saul Steinberg, at the Central Synagogue in Manhattan.[5] They later divorced. In 2007, he married Lizzie Rudnick.[6] Jonathan is also an active Democratic Party fund-raiser.
- Laurie Tisch sits on the board of the Whitney and the Children's Museum of Manhattan and is chairwoman of the Center for Arts Education, a nonprofit group that works to improve arts education in the public schools. She is divorced from Donald Sussman, the founder of Paloma Partners, a hedge fund in Greenwich, Connecticut with $1.5B under management.[7][8][9] She founded the not-for-profit foundation, the Illumination Fund, dedicated to serving the children of New York City with an emphasis on arts education.[10]

The Pentagon office that claims to monitor terrorist threats to U.S. military bases in North America – but is known to have spied on at least 186 peaceful anti-war protests in the U.S. – has just awarded a $30 million contract to a company whose senior management includes the former Defense Department (DOD) official who set up that office.
The former DOD official is Dr. Stephen Cambone, a trusted protégé of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Since his resignation as DOD's Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence following Rumsfeld's departure in November 2006, Cambone has been vice president for strategy of a company known as QinetiQ (pronounced "kinetic") North America, a major British-owned defense and intelligence contractor based in McLean, Virginia.
Two months after QinetiQ hired Cambone to expand its North American operations, that company' s Mission Solutions Group signed a five-year, $30 million contract to provide a range of unspecified "security services" to the Pentagon's Counter-Intelligence Field Activity office, known as CIFA.
While at the Pentagon, Cambone was responsible for supervising CIFA and was deeply involved in the Pentagon's most controversial intelligence programs at a time when DOD was making concerted efforts to marginalize the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by setting up its own parallel intelligence apparatus.
Formerly known as Analex, QinetiQ's new contract expands work that Analex was providing to CIFA since 2003. CIFA manages a database of what it regards as "suspicious incidents" in the U.S. The database includes intelligence, law enforcement, counterintelligence, and security reports, as well as raw non-validated information from DOD's "Threat and Local Observation Notice" (TALON) reporting system of unfiltered information.
In 2006, The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a Freedom of Information request to inspect TALON's documentation. It received and reviewed hundreds of TALON documents, among which was a 2006 memo listing 186 reports involving "anti-military protests or demonstrations in the U.S., several peaceful protesters identified as potential threats to the military, and 2,821 TALON reports relating to "U.S. person information" and "anti-military protests or demonstrations in the U.S." These reports were entered into a DOD anti-terrorist threat database.
Pentagon documents released by the ACLU show that the DOD monitored the activities of a wide range of peace groups, including Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, Code Pink, the American Friends Service Committee, the War Resisters League, and United for Peace and Justice.
The organization said the Pentagon's misuse of the TALON database is just one example of increased government surveillance of innocent Americans.
"It cannot be an accident or coincidence that nearly 200 anti-war protests ended up in a Pentagon threat database," said Ann Beeson, the ACLU's Associate Legal Director. "This unchecked surveillance is part of a broad pattern of the Bush administration using 'national security' as an excuse to run roughshod over the privacy and free speech rights of Americans."
And Mary Shaw of Amnesty International USA, told us, "This is a prime example of how the U.S. government has created a broad definition of "domestic terrorism" that overreaches, and can have a chilling effect on our rights to free expression, free association, and privacy. Even in times of crisis, it is important to preserve our constitutional rights. As Benjamin Franklin said, 'He who gives up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety'."
Telephone calls to QinetiQ's offices seeking comment for this article were not returned.
TALON was created after the U.S. Congress in 2002 approved a proposal backed by Rumsfeld and Vice President Richard Cheney to create a new undersecretary slot at the Pentagon specifically for intelligence. Cambone was given the job. Under the law, Cambone exercised the Secretary of Defense's "authority, direction and control" over all DOD intelligence, counterintelligence and security policy, plans and programs.
The mission of Rumsfeld and Cambone was to give the Pentagon greater authority in the area of human intelligence, traditionally the preserve of the CIA. Cambone's deputy was Army Lieutenant General William G. "Jerry" Boykin, then a deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence. Boykin was later reprimanded by the Army for "inappropriate" comments made in a series of speeches given in evangelical churches while in his military uniform, in which he described the war on terrorism as a Christian battle against evil.
Civil libertarians and human rights activists have drawn parallels between CIFA's collection and retention of data on peace groups and other activists and the domestic collection of data through such programs as COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program).
COINTELPRO was a program of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at investigating and disrupting dissident political organizations within the U.S. Its targets were organizations that were at the time considered to have politically radical elements, ranging from groups such as The Weahtermen, who advocated the violent overthrow of the U.S. government to such non-violent civil rights activist organizations as Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
Such acitivites were later strictly regulated by laws such as the Privacy Act of 1974, which strengthened and specified a U.S. citizen's right to privacy as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

This may look like the North Pole at 4:30 in the morning, but it is really a chocolate shop in Rochester, WA. Bob and Janet Connors, owners of Connors' Candy Cottage, are working like Santa's Elves 24 hours a day making chocolates.
We just had a new dusting of snow and the plows were out on Highway 12 cleaning it up. We were very pleased that they didn't leave huge piles of snow in front of our walkway.
Look how big the icicles have grown on the side of our shop. We wish this was really a Gingerbread house, each icicle would have a different flavor. Yum.

After running CM10.2 (which was installed for me) I was able to RUU back to stock for the 4.4.2 OTA update. Trying to reinstall CyanogenMod I got stuck in bootloop, flashed back to bootloader to try and reinstall RUU but "there is no RUU out yet for OS: 4.06.whatever" (quoted from HTC customer service). Now my system is completely wiped and my PC (using Hansoon) cannot find my device. P.S. My wife is due with our baby on FEb 14th and is NOT happy that I'm w/o a phone. Please help. (Will donate generously for some one-on-one guidance) Namaste'
this is one reason i dont care for toolkits, they dont really teach you anything,and dont offer much support when you need it. on to your issue,some basic info is needed to try and help you get up and running. first,let us know the info in your hboot screen. then,do this and paste the results(xx out esn and imie): Spoiler first download and install these drivers: revolutionary drivers (mirror) then,download this small file: mini-adb.zip -unzip it,and place the unzipped folder onto the root of your C drive(not inside a folder) -open a cmd window(with win 7,click start bubble,type "command" or "cmd" in hte search box) -now change to your mini-adb directory(assuming you didnt chagne the name). type in the black cmd window that opened on your PC: cd c:\mini-adb -pull the battery in your phone for a few seconds. hold volume down,then power. hold them both until you see the white/colored writing hboot screen -select "fastboot" from the hboot menu with the vol rocker/power button -in your cmd window type: fastboot devices it should output your phones serial number. if so youre good to go. if not,youre apparently having a driver issue. i usually recomend these drivers from Revolutionary: modified htc drivers download and install the drivers(you should just have to run that file). afterwards,unplug your phone,plug it back in. make sure its in fastboot. as soon as you get a result from "fastboot devices" your ready to procede to the next step. -in your cmd window,type(or copy/paste,is much easier): fastboot getvar all -copy the info that outputs here. right click in your cmd window,click mark,highlight it all in white. hit enter. paste the info here. it will help us know which ruu for you to run.
I liked the CyanogenMod but thought it could run better/faster over 4.4.2 Kit Kat. Now I'm w/o both...
My serial number DID show up. (bootloader) version: 0.5 (bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.56.0000 (bootloader) version-baseband: 1.00.20.1108 (bootloader) version-cpld: None (bootloader) version-microp: None (bootloader) version-main: 4.06.651.4 (bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON (bootloader) serialno: (bootloader) imei: (bootloader) meid: (bootloader) product: m7_wls (bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8064 (bootloader) modelid: PN0720000 (bootloader) cidnum: SPCS_001 (bootloader) battery-status: good (bootloader) battery-voltage: 4289mV (bootloader) partition-layout: Generic (bootloader) security: on (bootloader) build-mode: SHIP (bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT (bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-4dab9d12 (bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11 (bootloader) gencheckpt: 0 all: Done! finished. total time: 0.080s
First thing your going to need is to get a working a recovery installed try this The next step would be to Sideload a Rom to your phone Download this one >> Guru Reset M7 Sprint 3.04.651.2 - HTC1Guru and copy it to your miniadb folder as well (anything you push or sideload or flash will go in this folder) I also found a Stock rooted 4.06 rom you could sideload if you don't want to take the OTA again it's here >> xda-developers - View Single Post - [ROM][4.4.2 Sense][STOCK]4.06.651.4 Rooted Deodexed and Odexed
Note that you can use the "miniadb" file that you used above for fastboot getvar all to run the fastboot commands clsa has instructed. You'll need to place your recovery image into this folder as well. Just holler if you have any questions
Now it's telling me in cmd window "cannot read sideload" and in recovery>advanced>adb sideload it's telling me "E: Unable to mount"
I did that. But when I try to do the twrp adb sideload it says "E: unable to mount". The cmd window in mini-adb says cannot read zip
Hard boot the phone hold the power button and volume down for 15 seconds and try sideload again. Make sure you doing the steps in the correct order hook phone to PC Start sideload in twrp start sideload on PC try adb devices before sending the sideload command what does it show ?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached FA34NS901212 recovery
since adb appears to be working,try and push your rom to your "sd card": adb push romname.zip /data/media/0/ where romname is the exact name of the rom youre trying to install if that is successful,using recovery: -wipe data/factory reset -install zip from sd card(chose /0 then chose your rom)
I thought u was going to wait with flashing the phone til after the 14th. Now you have someone searching for a ruu stock didn't the stock I gave you work or what happen
he is s on,and there is no ruu for his build. he needs to flash a rom to get back to a working device
any luck pushing the rom as Scotty instructed ?? Update: Got it here's the stock recovery for 4.06 so lets try. Its in my Dropbox here >> https://www.dropbox.com/s/41f650diewakm96/Sprint_4.06.651.4_recovery.img lets flash it and try a factory reset Also the response from adb devices when the phone is in sideload mode should read h********** sideload <<... not recovery also for completeness the entire firmware can be downloaded here in case you want to flash the default kernel also >> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407568410

Sottotenente Lorenzo Clerici
Lorenzo Clerici was born on 17 October 1914 in Milano.
In June 1940, Lorenzo Clerici served in 365a Squadriglia, 150o Gruppo C.T. This unit was equipped with Fiat CR.42s.
On 15 June 1940, the Italian Headquarters ordered the 150o, 18o and 23o Gruppi C.T. to attack the French airfields in Le Cannet des Maures (2km south-east of Le Luc) and Cuers Pierrefeu (close to the naval base of Toulon), in Provence, with the purpose of destroying and disrupting the French fighter force on the ground.
Le Cannet des Maureswas the base of the GC III/6, which had arrived there on 3 June with its Morane Saulnier MS.406 fighters and was in the midst of converting from that type to the new Dewoitine D.520 (on 15 June 1940 the groupe had at least 13 D.520s on hand). The airfield of Cuers Pierrefeu was the base of the escadrille de chasse AC 3 of the AÈronautique Navale, equipped with eleven Bloch 151 fighters, and the escadrille de bombardement en piquË AB 3 of the AÈronautique Navale, equipped with eleven Vought 156 dive-bombers.
At noon 25 CR.42s from the 23o Gruppo departed from Cervere (a small town in Piedmont near the French border) to attack Le Cannet Des Maures airfield. The first group, under the command of Maggiore Tito Falconi (CO of the 23o Gruppo in a CR.42 from the 70a Squadriglia) was to make the strafing attack. The group was composed of Capitano Luigi Filippi (CO of the 75a Squadriglia), Tenente Mario Rigatti, Tenente Calogero Mazza, Sottotenente Malvezzi, Maresciallo Luigi Pasquetti, Sergente Maggiore Renzo Borro, Sergente Maggiore Davini, Sergente Maggiore Germano Gasperoni (all from the 75a Squadriglia), Capitano Guido Bobba (CO of the 74a Squadriglia), Sergente Maggiore Arnaldo Sala and Sottotenente Domenico Tessera (all from the 74a Squadriglia). The rest of the formation, with fighters from all three Squadriglie, was to act as top cover. This formation was composed of Capitano Ottorino Fargnoli (CO of the 70a Squadriglia), Tenente Claudio Solaro (70a Squadriglia), Sottotenente Oscar Abello (70a Squadriglia), Tenente Ezio Monti (75a Squadriglia), Sergente Maggiore Balilla Albani (70a Squadriglia), Sergente Carlo Scarselli (70a Squadriglia), Sergente Maggiore Celso Zemella (70a Squadriglia), Tenente Lorenzo Viale (74a Squadriglia), Tenente Mario Benedetti (74a Squadriglia), Tenente Mario Pinna (74a Squadriglia), Sergente Maggiore Renzo Bocconi (74a Squadriglia), Sergente Raffaele Marzocca (74a Squadriglia) and Sergente Emilio Stefani (74a Squadriglia).
They arrived over the target at 13:00 and attacked under heavy AA-fire. They claimed to have hit fifteen ìCurtisî fighters and four old bombers that lay on the sides of the airstrip, in particular Capitano Bobba claimed hits on three aircraft as did Sottotenente Tessera while Sergente Sala claimed to have hit two aircraft on the ground (it seems that at least three D.520s were destroyed when Dewoitine D.520 nos. 257, 294 and 304 of GC III/6 went up in flames).
During the strafing a number of French fighters identified as ìfour or five Morraneî or alternatively ìDewoitineî engaged the strafing Fiats. Capitano Filippi (MM4361), was shot down by Adjutant Pierre Le Gloan of GC III/6. Filippi baled out and was captured. Maresciallo Pasquetti claimed a ìMoraneî but was also hit, wounded (reportedly by AA fire but possibly by Le Gloan) and returned to Cervere despite large problems. He was later decorated with the Medaglia díargento al valor militare in the field for this mission. Tenente Rigattiís and Sottotenente Malvezziís fighters were also damaged (reportedly by AA). Among the pilots of the covering patrol, Sergente Stefani claimed a ìMorraneî, Tenente Benedetti a probable ìMorraneî and Sergente Marzocca a damaged ìMorraneî. The pilots of the 70a Squadriglia reported an indecisive engagement with no losses caused or suffered and finally Tenente Viale had his fighter seriously damaged by an explosive bullet that hit the junction between the lower wing and the fuselage. Back at base the plane was declared RD (Riparabile in Ditta - Repairable but only in the manufacturerís workshop) and sent to the Aeritalia-Fiat workshops in Turin.
The pilots of the 23o Gruppo observed that despite hits on aircraft on the ground they hadnít burnt. This was found to have been caused by a defective batch of incendiary ammunition.
The formation from the 150o Gruppo departed from Villanova DíAlbenga (in Liguria near the sea) at 12:00 and was composed of 27 Fiat CR.42s divided in three groups. Their target was the airfield of Cuers Pierrefeu and they arrived there at 13:00. A first group of eight aircraft commanded by Capitano Giorgio Graffer (CO of the 365a Squadriglia) and composed of Tenente Franco Gatti, Sottotenente Clerici, Maresciallo Felice Sozzi, Maresciallo Virginio Bodini, Sergente Maggiore Guido Fibbia, Sergente Maggiore Felice Squassoni and Sergente Bruno Zotti (all from the 365a Squadriglia) attacked the airfield of Cuers itself. A second group of nine fighters from the 363a Squadriglia led by the Gruppo CO Tenente Colonnello Rolando Pratelli (Capitano Luigi Mariotti (Squadriglia CO), Tenente Pietro Garfagnoli, Sottotenente Mario Daverio, Maresciallo Giuseppe Salvadori, Sergente Maggiore Natale Viola, Sergente Maggiore Bruno Benassi, Sergente Paolo Rossi, Sergente Antonio Lazzari) and a third group of eight aircraft from the 364a Squadriglia under command of the 53o Stormo commander Colonnello Arrigo Tessari (Capitano Nicola Magaldi (Squadriglia CO), Capitano Nino Caselli, Tenente Giuseppe Enrico Zuffi, Tenente Alberto Spigaglia, Maresciallo Delfino Fratini, Maresciallo Ugo Guidi, Sergente Maggiore Virgilio Pongiluppi, Sergente Giovanni Negri and Sergente Achille Pacini) covered Graffer and his men during the strafing attack.
The covering group led by Colonnello Tessari engaged six French fighters, while Grafferís group, after four or five strafing passes enter combat against ìMorane fightersî while regaining height. All in all four Morane were claimed shot down (all Bloch 151s from AC 3 and confirmed with French records) and 15 Moranes were claimed on ground (in fact at least six Vought 156s of AB 3 were destroyed). The victories were credited as ìsharedî to all the pilots of the Gruppo.
The aircraft of Capitano Nino Caselli (MM5579) and Tenente Zuffi of the 364a Squadriglia (MM5590) were lost. Caselliís Fiat was shot down by French fighters and he was killed, while Zuffi landed on Cuers Pierrefeu undamaged due to a breakdown of the throttle. Zuffi was taken prisoner and his undamaged fighter was taken by the French (the only aircraft captured by the AÈronautique Navale), which in the following days painted it with French colours and duly photographed this trophy with pilots posing near it. After the war the Italians had to do great efforts with the Vichy Authorities to finally have back the fighter in August. Additionally the Fiats of Graffer and Clerici were damaged by French fighters during the dogfight.
Finally, 15 Fiat CR.42s the 18o Gruppo took off from Villanova DíAlbenga immediately after the 150o Gruppo. They patrolled along the direction of Cuers Pierrefeu - Cannet des Maures - HyËres (the latter an airfield 13 km east of Toulon) to prevent any interference from the French fighter force. Led by the 18o Gruppoís CO Maggiore Ferruccio Vosilla the formation was composed by Capitano Giulio Anelli (CO of the 85a Squadriglia), Tenente Giulio Cesare Giuntella and Sergente Maggiore Giuseppe Ruzzin of the 85a Squadriglia, Capitano Gino Lodi (CO of 95a Squadriglia), Sottotenente Eugenio Salvi, Maresciallo Felice Longhi, Maresciallo Giovanni Ferrari and Sergente Maggiore Giacomo Grillo of the 95a Squadriglia (Vosilla flew with Salvi and Longhi as wingmen) and finally the 3o Stormo Commander Colonnello Fortunato Rolando in a 83a Squadriglia fighter with Maresciallo Francesco Colombo and Sergente Maggiore Evdo Formentini as wingmen together with Capitano Edoardo Molinari (CO of 83a Squadriglia), Sottotenente Carlo Lolli and Maresciallo Gaetano Bortolini.
At a height of 5500 meters over Beau Champ they were intercepted by enemy fighters, which suddenly appeared from a cloud bank. They were identified as ìMorane 406 plus another type not sureî and in the ensuing combat three of them were claimed shot down plus four others hit without being able of ascertain the damage inflicted (these claims canít be verified with French sources). It seems that no individual credit was given for these victories that went as shared to all the fifteen pilots participating in the mission. During the combat, two aircraft of the 83a Squadriglia were lost when Sergente Maggiore Formentini (MM4449) and Maresciallo Colombo (MM4366) both were shot down and killed (both were probably shot down by Le Gloan and Assolant of GC III/6, which had attacked the ìvicî of the Stormo commander). All the fighters of the 85a Squadriglia suffered gun-jams and were forced to flee, Capitano Anelli, in particular, had to escaped into clouds to get away from enemy fighters, got lost and was obliged to force-land at Dorniella near Grosseto in Tuscany where his plane (MM4372) broke the landing gear and was heavily damaged (RD). Finally Maresciallo Gaetano Bortoliniís Fiat was hit by a cannon shell that opened a hole of 60 centimetres in the upper wing. Later during the day two more fighters were heavily damaged (RD) on landing back in Villanova DíAlbenga returning from scrambles because of the bad conditions of the ground flooded by heavy rain but this was not connected with the above described combat.
The French reported that in the early hours of 15 June bad wheatear halted flight activities, then, at mid morning, it cleared up. At 10:00, a patrouille composed by Adjutant Diaz, Sergent Pimont and Sous-Lieutenant Stage took-off to cover the reconnaissance mission of a Potez 63. The mission was completed successfully.
At 11:40, the fighter control centre of Toulon signalled big formations of heavy fighters and bombers passing the border and heading south-west. Five minutes later a patrouille simple (three planes group) of Dewoitine D.520s (Adjutant Pierre Le Gloan, Capitaine Jacobi and Capitaine Assolant) of the 5th escadrille of groupe de chasse III/6 (GC III/6) took-off.
The patrouille made for Saint Raphael (on the coast, near the Italian border), where a group of fifteen enemy planes was signalled.
Four minutes later (11:49), a second patrouille simple (Capitaine Guerrier, Adjutant Japiot, Sous-Lietuenant Capdeviolle), this time of the 6th escadrille, took off to help the first. However, it took off to late and didnít participate in the combat.
After arriving over Saint Raphael, the patrouille of Le Gloan received by radio the order of going over Saint Tropez (around 30km south-west). At the same time, Capitaine Jacobi was forced to turn back with engine problems.
Le Gloan saw a formation of twelve Fiat CR.42s in the direction of Saint Tropez heading south-west. He reached them rapidly and attacked at 12:00. In a brief combat, Le Gloan and Assolant claimed two shared aircraft shot down. These were the last two aircraft of the Italian formation and one of the Italian fighters (Maresciallo Colombo of the 83a Squadriglia) was seen to go down in flames near Beauvallon (4km south of Grimaud) while the other went down in flames near Ramatuelle; the pilot was seen to bale out (probably Sergente Maggiore Evdo Formentini of the 83a Squadriglia).
At this moment the two pilots of the patrouille was split up. Le Gloan turned over Saint-Tropez and lost contact with the enemy while Capitaine Assolant attacked a third Italian fighter (perhaps Maresciallo Bortolini of the 83a Squadriglia), but his guns ceased to fire and he had to disengage coming back to Le Cannet des Maures.
Adjutant Le Gloan in the meantime, saw anti-aircraft fire in the direction of HyËres airfield (being over Saint Tropez this direction is quite close to the direction of Toulon-Cuers Pierrefeu that was under attack at that moment). Le Gloan flew in that direction and discovered a group of three Fiat CR.42s heading east. He attacked the right hand Fiat of the group and saw that after the first burst of fire it went down near Saint-AmËe, in the bay of Pampalonne. This claim is not confirmed with Italian records but perhaps claimed in combat with an aircraft from 150o Gruppo returning from the attack on Cuers or alternatively against stragglers of the 18o Gruppo formation. He was then attacked by eight Italian fighters and he disengaged by diving away.
At the same time (around 12:15), he received by radio the order of coming back to Le Cannet des Maures which was under attack. He obeyed immediately, arriving over his airfield while the Italians were strafing it. He dived on a couple of fighters and with a single burst of cannon fire he shot down one of them (Capitano Filippi). This plane went down near the farm of the Thermes, just 1km from the airfield of Le Cannet. Continuing his patrol Le Gloan saw a Fiat BR.20 bomber flying a reconnaissance mission over Le Cannet des Maures, probably with the aim of checking the damage inflicted to the airfield. Le Gloan attacked it and, even with no more cannon ammunitions left, shot it down with five passes of his remaining four guns. The bomber fell down near the farm of the Moulin Rouge. This was Fiat BR.20 MM21873 of the 172a Squadriglia Ricognizione Strategica, which in fact went down over Le Luc. Two of the crew were killed; Aviere scelto motorista Giovanni Bonanno and Aviere scelto fotografo Egisto Di Croce. The rest of the crew were taken POWs; Maggiore Mario Salvadori (an intelligence Officer from the Air force HQ aboard as a passenger), Capitano Giorgio Parodi (the Squadrigliaís CO) and Aviere scelto armiere Attilio Imparato. Bonanno was posthumously decorated with the Medaglia díOro al valor militare for this action because he helped his commander, who was wounded, to jump out of the falling plane, but after that he was unable to jump himself and died in the subsequent crash.
At Cuers Pierrefeu (attacked by the 150o Gruppo), the French reported that the Italian fighters attacked the parked Voughts of AB 3 and destroyed six of them. A section of three fighters of AC 3 had taken took off just minutes before the Italian attack. It was commanded by the Enseigne de Vaisseau Carmeille and included Second-Maitres Saint Vanne and Heff. The section had to patrol between Le Luc en Provence and St Raphael. Near the first locality it became involved in combat with 15 Italian fighters (possibly the 18o Gruppo). The section didnít claim anything and didnít suffer any losses even if, later, it was credited with two shared Italian fighters shot down. After this combat, the three pilots went on patrolling over Toulon.
Two other sections of AC 3 took off while the Italians arrived over Cuers. The section commanded by the Lieutenant de Vaisseau Ziegler (CO AC 3) was composed by the Second-Maitres Miramont and Briet. Gaining altitude over Cuers the section was attacked by the Italian fighters. Ziegler had his Bloch 151 (numbered AC3.1, serial number 77) seriously damaged and wounded, he was forced to crash-land at base with his left landing gear cut in half. Briet was rapidly in difficulties under the attack of the numerically superior Italians, with the ailerons damaged and the reservoir holed he disengaged, rejoining the first section over Toulon. Miramont engaged combat north-east of the airfield, over the hills of HyËres. His Bloch 151 (numbered AC3.3, serial number 69) was seriously damaged, but in the heat of the fight, he found himself 50 meters behind a Fiat CR.42 (Capitano Nino Caselli) and with a single burst of his four MAC guns he shot it down. Miramont was not able to continue the fight after this and had to land at HyËres.
The third section of AC 3 suffered worst. It was commanded by the Adjutant Chef Hourcade (a pilot of the ArmÈe de líAir attached to the AÈronautique Navale since 1939) (Bloch 151 AC3.15 serial 51) and included Soulimont (Bloch 151 AC3.8 serial 348) and Second-Maitre Le Bihan (Bloch 151 AC3.9 serial 37). A few second after the take-off, Hourcade was shot down and killed by the marauding Fiats; Soulimont engaged the Italians but was immediately put out of action and obliged to force-land with his aircraft riddled with bullets. Le Bihan received a burst of fire in the engine and five minutes after took-off had to land in the narrow of Rocbaron. Unfortunately, his plane hit a tree and burst into flames hitting the ground. He succeeded in extricate himself from the burning wreck, but died five hours later at the hospital. Some time later Le Bihan was credited with an aerial victory obtained by collision, but looking in the initial reports of this combat there is no trace of this victory.
It is interesting to note that all of Le Gloanís claims were homologated by the CO of the Zone DíOpÈrations AÈriennes Alpes (ZOAA). (ìLíhomologationî was the definitive confirmation of an aerial victory corroborated by evidences, was a recognition quite difficult to obtain in the French Air Force). The victories were credited as follows:
Fiat CR.42 individual, Ramatuelle.
Fiat CR.42 shared with Assolant, Saint-AmÈ bay of Pampelonne.
Fiat CR.42 individual, Beauvallon.
Fiat CR.42 individual , ferme des Termes near Le Luc.
Fiat BR.20, ferme du Moulin-Rouge near Vidauban.
That is not in complete accordance with the reconstruction above. It is also interesting to note that the victories claimed by AC 3 were apparently not homologated.
Later he took part in the invasion of Greece.
On 2 November, five Junkers Ju 87R Stukas from the 96o Gruppo Ba'T attacked Yanina. The town was also raided by ten Cant Z.1007bis from the 47o Stormo.
Yanina was the main base from which the Greek forces were now launching their counter-attacks against the Italian forces, and three PZLs of 21 Mira had been detached here for defense. These were scrambled after an attack on Larissa, led by Hiposminagos John Sakellariou. The interception took place over Mitsikeli Mountain, close to Yanina, but during the fight, Sakellariou was shot down and killed as he attacked one bomber. He was credited with having shot down two others before he fell, although it seems that none of the Italian units sustained any losses. Episminias Christos Papadopulos was also shot down and killed in his P.24 according to Greek sources.
Although not mentioned in the Greek account of this raid, escorting CR.42s were present over Yanina and Capitano Giorgio Graffer's 365a Squadriglia engaged three PZLs. Capitano Graffer, Sottotenente Clerici, Sergente Bruno Zotti and Sergente Pietro Secchi claimed the three PZL shared shot down.
On 4 November, Greek Breguet XIXs from the 2 Mira attacked Italian Alpini troops in a ravine near Distraton.
Three of them were intercepted by a pair of 365a Squadriglia CR42s flown by Sottotenente Clerici and Sergente Domenico Facchini. The two Italian aircraft concentrated their fire on the leading Breguet. The observer in this aircraft was unable to return fire due to a stoppage. The aircraft was hit and the observer wounded, but by skilful flying the pilot managed to evade the attackers and force-landed at Xyrolimni. The second aircraft, flown by the unit commander, Epismingos (Major) Fridericos Katassos, was shot down in flames, Katassos and Anthyposminagos (Second Lieutenant) Alexandros Sarvanis, the observer, being killed. The third aircraft escaped unseen by the Italian pilots.
Clerici was killed during an enemy bombardment on 4 February 1942.
At the time of his death, Clerici was credited with 8 shared biplane victories, these being claimed while flying Fiat CR.42s.

State Patrol: "No evidence" officers gave Occupy-ers drugs
The State Patrol says there's no proof officers gave DRE study participants drugs before dropping them off near Peavey Plaza. |
"There's been no evidence or no information that has been presented to us that would substantiate any of the allegations," said Eric Roeske, State Patrol public information officer.
It should be noted that despite presenting a persuasive amount of circumstantial evidence, the video report outlining the explosive allegations doesn't contain a smoking gun -- officers aren't recorded saying they've given drugs to young people, nor is there conclusive video proof participants in the impairment study weren't already high before getting picked up by officers.
According to the Star Tribune, Roeske, speaking for Sergeant Riccardo Munoz, administrator of so-called Drug Recognition Expert program, said "to [Munoz's] knowledge none of that activity has taken place." Roeske, stating the obvious, added that it's against policy and procedure for police to offer people drugs.
Roeske's comments, however, don't rule out the possibility some officers acted independently, enticing study participants with drugs in violation of police rules. But the video report, put together by local independent media activists and members of Communities Against Police Brutality, doesn't single out drug-distributing officers by name.
Yesterday, Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan said Minneapolis city officers weren't involved in the DRE drug imbroglio, adding that if it turns out to be true that out-of-town agencies were giving drugs to Peavey Plaza protestors, "I think we'd probably have an issue with that."
So it looks like the drug allegations may remain at the he said-she said stage until more conclusive evidence of police wrongdoing is brought forward.

Flextronics International Ltd. Stock Upgraded (FLEX)
-- Flextronics International (Nasdaq:
FLEX) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. Among the primary strengths of the company is its respectable return on equity which we feel is likely to continue. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL's earnings per share declined by 46.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL increased its bottom line by earning $0.75 versus $0.01 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.84 versus $0.75).
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 44.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 4.3%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components industry and the overall market, FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL's return on equity significantly exceeds that of the industry average and is above that of the S&P 500.
- The share price of FLEXTRONICS INTERNATIONAL has not done very well: it is down 19.62% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of the overall market trend could certainly make a critical difference, we do not see any strong reason stemming from the company's fundamentals that would cause a continuation of last year's decline. In fact, the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings.
- FLEX's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.99 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Despite the fact that FLEX's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 0.59 is low and demonstrates weak liquidity.

Ontario Firefighter Died Of Undetected Heart Problem
An undetected heart condition killed a Canadian firefighter who collapsed at a firefighters' competition in Indianapolis last week, the Hendricks County coroner said.
Wayne Topping, 48, died of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coroner Jason Matthews said Tuesday.
Topping, a 10-year firefighter in Burlington, Ontario, collapsed Friday morning, shortly after finishing a drill in which his team extricated someone from a car at the Wayne Township Fire Department's training grounds.
He was taken to Clarian West Hospital in Avon, where he was pronounced dead.
The drill had nothing to do with Topping's death, Matthews said.
Firefighters on Friday said Topping's role in the drill, which happened just before 9 a.m., wasn't strenuous. He was working as a medic, providing care to a mock patient.
The Wayne Township Fire Department said it plans to send a contingent to Topping's funeral, which is set for 1 p.m. Thursday in Burlington.

A Virginia federal judge is expected to rule Monday on whether the Obama administration's health law violates the Constitution, opening a new stage in the administration's defense of its biggest legislative achievement.
The ruling by District Judge Henry E. Hudson is perhaps the most significant so far among a slew of state-based legal challenges to the law, which also faces attack by newly resurgent Republicans in Congress. More than 20 federal lawsuits have been filed against the health overhaul since President Barack Obama signed it in March.
While the cases differ somewhat, they largely rest on the argument that Congress lacks constitutional authority to require most Americans to carry health insurance or pay a fee. The Obama administration counters that three clauses of the Constitution gave Congress the power to put the requirement, known as the individual mandate, in the law as part of regulating how people pay for health care.
The Virginia challenge is led by that state's attorney general, Republican Ken Cuccinelli. Separately, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson in Pensacola, Fla., on Thursday will hear arguments in a challenge brought by officials in 20 states. He could offer the clearest indication yet of how he will rule.
Supporters of the law are bracing for defeats in Virginia and in Florida. Judges Hudson and Vinson have both shown sympathy to the plaintiffs' arguments and are GOP appointees.
Two other federal judges, in separate lawsuits in Michigan and Virginia, have already ruled in the administration's favor on the individual-mandate question. Those cases, along with the other federal cases challenging the law, have a narrower base of plaintiffs than the suits brought in Florida and before Judge Hudson in Virginia.
Even if judges rule the individual mandate unconstitutional, it isn't likely to stop the law from being carried out for now. Plaintiffs in the Virginia and Florida cases have asked the judges for an injunction to halt the law's implementation nationwide. But people close to the plaintiffs concede the federal courts are likely to leave the law in place while the challenges go on. Both sides expect the matter to end up at the Supreme Court.
The individual mandate doesn't take effect until 2014, so courts are less likely to see the need for a quick injunction.
Health-care consultants say employers and health-care companies are pressing ahead with their response to the law without regard for the court's decisions. States have started planning to create new health-insurance exchanges for consumers to shop for insurance, and they are calculating the costs of expanding the Medicaid insurance program for the poor.
In addition to arguing that the individual mandate is unconstitutional, Florida's lawsuit, led by a mostly Republican group of governors and attorneys general, also contends that the law's expansion of Medicaid to 16 million additional Americans places an unfair burden on states.
In court papers, the Obama administration argues that states are free to drop out of Medicaid, a joint federal-state program. Lawyers for the states counter that the program is too big to make dropping out a realistic option.
In fact, however, some of the states involved in the lawsuit, including Texas, have begun discussions about pulling out of Medicaid in coming years. If they carried out the threat, it would undercut the states' legal argument, but also undermine the aim of the law's supporters to expand Medicaid. Judge Vinson has suggested he viewed the states' argument on Medicaid as a stretch, while showing sympathy toward arguments against the individual mandate.

150 Pigs Stolen in Lafayette…Minnesota
Some thieves in Minnesota are bringing home the bacon, literally! For the third time in the past month, a large amount of pigs were stolen from a southern Minnesota farm.
Ryan Bode's Nicollet County farm had 150 swines stolen, valued at $30,000. Bode says the thieves cut the netting on the windows of the shed, entered the barn, then opened the door from the inside.
That's a whole lot of pork chops that somebody has "acquired". How will the police find 150 pigs that all look alike?
