Drac Von Stoller's imagination and fascination for the Horror genre began when he was a little boy watching his favorite actors such as Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi on his little black and white television alone in his dark room. Drac would watch these horror movies for hours and build model kits of his favorite characters like Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein and even the Munster's car from his favorite television series. Then as time went on and nothing was left to the imagination in the new horror movies, Drac still loved watching the old movies he so loved as a little boy. Then as Drac became an adult he decided one day that he would write a short story in the horror genre and let some of his friends read it and see what they thought. Drac's first short story was titled "Death in the Wilderness," which would be considered flash fiction but this would be Drac's test to see if he was destined to be an author. Sure enough when people read "Death in the Wilderness" they loved it but couldn't understand why Drac didn't keep on with the story but Drac knew all along that if what they read was so good then Drac has succeeded. This gave Drac the confidence he needed to keep on writing more and more short stories. The rest is history Drac has now written 187 short stories to date that have been downloaded in 137 Countries and more on the way.

I don't know about you reader's out there, but I think it's time we have another Horror TV series. We haven't had one like Night Gallery, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt or Creepshow since the 90's and that's what my goal is a TV series. Drac Von Stoller would really appreciate any Horror fan's support. Without every reader's download and support Drac Von Stoller would not be where he is today. I just want to thank you all for any kindness you have bestowed upon me and my vision.
Here are some reviews from some of my fans from Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, Tumblr and Amazon.
Drac, A number of your stories feature lavish parties with ballroom dancing in castles, and even one on a cruise ship. Do you have anything special planned for this Halloween?
Hello Drac Von Stoller
I enjoy your scary stories very much. Jason Ryan Qualls

I wouldn't typically purchase a horror/sci-fi genre book but a friend mentioned it to me so I bought it. I have to say that the appearance of the book is pleasing. It's well designed and lightweight so there's no anxiety about getting through a thick novel. Some stories to recommend (my faves) are "Visit from the Greys" "Phantom Miner" " The Dead Sea Captain" and "Death in the Wilderness". I don't leave reviews but something about this one so check it out!

(NBC News) - Top administration officials head to Capitol Hill today to make the case for military action in Syria.
Secretary of State John Kerry will tell lawmakers that if we don't punish Syria for using chemical weapons Iran, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda may see that as a green light to attack.
Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel head to Capitol Hill this afternoon for briefings, but some lawmakers say that's not enough.
"We need the President to come to us and say 'Here is what we are going to do. Here is how we are going to do it. Here are the goals we hope to achieve. Here is how we will know we have achieved them," argues Kansas' Representative Mike Pompeo.

CSU Joins National Campaign to Increase Latino College Going Rates
CSU joins Univision and Gates Foundation in campaign to increase high school completion and college readiness among Latino students
Clara Potes-Fellow or Erik Fallis, (562) 951-4800
(Feb. 18, 2010) - The California State University has joined a national multimedia campaign led by Univision Communications and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance the United States' college graduation goal and increase high school completion and college readiness among Latino students.
The campaign, Es El Momento (The Moment is Now), will be launched at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on Feb. 23. Univision award-winning news anchor and author Jorge Ramos will be the national spokesperson.
The three-year effort will focus on creating a college going culture among U.S. Latinos, and setting expectations for high school completion and college readiness.
Messages will be delivered through a network of national, regional and local media featuring news, PSAs, and special programming. The campaign is expected to deliver deeper parental involvement in student's academic achievement.
"Increasing college readiness among Latinos is critical to meeting President Obama's education goal of making the United States the leading nation in college degree holders by 2020," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "CSU is committed to supporting this national effort by maintaining several ongoing initiatives to overcome students' college barriers."
One successful initiative is a partnership of the CSU with the Parent Institute for Quality Education (PIQE), offering a 9-week parent training program to Latino families with children in elementary and middle schools near CSU campuses. Parents learn about the structure of California's educational system, are trained to successfully establish relationships with school principals and teachers, and get tips on how to establish a home environment that is conducive to learning.
Other partners in the national campaign include the U.S. Department of Education, state educational organizations, NASA, ASPIRA, NCLR, LULAC, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, College Board, other educational nonprofit organizations, and civic and community leaders throughout the country. The campaign's website will be at www.eselmomento.com

Not far from the source of the Rhine, in the heart of the high Alps of Switzerland, is the idyllic village of Sedrun.
Here in the Surselva, where the people still speak Romansch, visitors are "cordial beinvegni" (warmly welcome). Here they can "respirar libramein" (breathe freely), and "recreaziun" (relaxation) is guaranteed.
All of which, of course, also applies to the Hotel Postigliun.
Thanks to its central location, the most beautiful mountain peaks and most popular sights in the region are within easy reach.

Leukapheresis to Obtain Plasma or Lymphocytes for Studies of HIV-infected Patients, Including Long-term Non-progressors
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will collect white blood cells and plasma for research on how the immune system controls HIV infection. The immune system of a very small group of HIV-infected patients, called non-progressors, has been able to control HIV for long periods without antiretroviral therapy. Some immune system-related genes important for this control have been identified in these patients. This study will examine the contribution of HLA genes B*57+, B*27+ and A*01+ to HIV disease in progressors and long-term non-progressors. (HLA type is a genetic marker of the immune system.)
HIV-infected patients 18 years of age and older with HLA types B*57+, B*27+ and/or A*01+ may be eligible for this study.
Participants will undergo apheresis a method for collecting larger quantities of certain blood components than can safely be collected through a simple blood draw by one of the following two methods:
- Automated pheresis Blood is drawn through a needle placed in an arm vein and spun in a machine, separating the blood components. The white cells are extracted and the red cells, with or without plasma (liquid part of the blood), are re-infused into the donor through the same needle or a needle in the other arm. An anticoagulant (medication to prevent blood from clotting) is usually added to the blood while in the machine to prevent it from clotting during processing.
- Manual pheresis One unit (1 pint) of blood is drawn through a needle placed in an arm vein, similar to donating a pint of whole blood. The red blood cells, with or without plasma, are separated from the rest of the blood and re-infused to the donor through the same needle. Manual pheresis will be done only when a person s estimated total blood volume or red cell count is too low to safely permit removal of blood through a pheresis machine. An adult small in size or markedly anemic, for example, may fall into this category.
Some of the blood collected through apheresis may be stored for future studies of HIV disease and immune function and for HLA testing, a genetic test of markers of the immune system. Some of the blood may be used to screen for different types of viral liver infections, such as hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F, or G.

|Official Title:
|Evaluation of Viral Factors and Immune Parameters to Study HIV-Specific Immunity
- Studies of HIV-specific immunity [ Time Frame: Ongoing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Cohort Natural History Study [ Time Frame: Ongoing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2002
In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism(s) of immune-mediated restriction of HIV viral replication, we aim to study four groups of individuals: 1) HIV-infected long-term nonprogressors (LTNP), who appear to control HIV primarily through virus-specific cellular immunity; 2) HIV-infected patients who have broadly cross neutralizing antibody activity against HIV; 3) HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy who will undergo a treatment interruption; and 4) the family members of patients exhibiting immunologic control of HIV infection. Although most of our previous efforts have focused on investigating the virus-specific immune responses in a unique group of patients termed LTNP who control HIV by cellular immune-mediated mechanisms, more recently, another group of rare individuals who naturally develop broadly cross neutralizing antibody activity against HIV isolates have also been identified in our laboratory. Passive transfer studies in nonhuman primates have demonstrated that neutralizing antibodies detectable in a subject at the time of challenge can protect from infection. We aim to recruit more of these patients in an effort to further characterize and compare their virus-specific cellular and humoral immune responses with those in individuals experiencing progressive infection. In addition, it is necessary to define whether putative correlates of immune mediated restriction of viral replication are a cause or an effect of HIV viremia. To this end, we are enrolling patients who will be discontinuing their antiretroviral regimen and examine virologic and immunologic parameters during the treatment interruption. Through this arm of the study, we will attempt to further characterize the mechanisms by which HIV evades and/or suppresses an effective anti-viral immune response and to identify features of the virus or the patients immune responses that are associated with virologic control following treatment interruption. As we attain greater insight into differences between these patient groups, we hope to perform genetic studies that would enable us to more precisely identify susceptibility or protective genes, which could be potentially used to construct a familial pedigree. We anticipate that all of these findings will contribute to an enhanced understanding of the nature of effective HIV-specific humoral and cellular immunity, which will help focus future vaccine design efforts. For our studies, it will be necessary to obtain larger quantities of plasma or mononuclear cells than can be safely obtained by simple phlebotomy. These components can be easily and safely obtained using apheresis procedures in the Clinical Center Apheresis Unit. This protocol is designed to conform to the requirements of the Apheresis Unit for donors to have leukapheresis or plasmaapheresis procedures.

The plethora of new rental apartments and townhouses claimed by military families at housing complexes this summer caused Jefferson County home sales during the third quarter to slow markedly, according to Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors statistics.
Compared with the third quarter of 2012, Jefferson County residential sales plummeted by 18 percent, or 53 units, from 315 to 258. Year-to-date property sales as of Sept. 30 show that total home sales are down by 91 units from last year, dropping by 13 percent from 720 to 629 units.
Its a downward trend that Lance M. Evans, executive officer of the board, attributes mainly to the widespread availability of rental apartments and townhouses built to serve the military population at Fort Drum.
The advantage that the Preserve at Autumn Ridge and Beaver Meadows (in Watertown) have is that you can walk in and buy brand new, Mr. Evans said. When no one else has lived in your house yet, theres a major difference.
Mr. Evans said the convenience of moving into units immediately also is viewed by some buyers as an advantage over the time-consuming task of shopping for the right house. The quality of old rental apartments in the city also is improving, he said, because landlords are renovating old stock to stay competitive in a market that now has a vast range of housing options.
Some landlords might be renovating their places and lowering the rent, because they need to offer attractive options, he said.
Real estate brokers say that underwriters of mortgages issued by banks have stiffened their lending criteria this year, Mr. Evans said.
They say its taking more work to get a property sale closed, he said. Property appraisers and underwriters are being tougher, because regulations have come down from Washington to make sure that were not selling houses that will be under water soon.
Third-quarter home sales in Lewis and St. Lawrence counties rose from last year. Lewis County sales jumped by 15 percent, or eight units, from 52 to 60; St. Lawrence County sales increased by 9 percent, or 15 units, from 164 to 179. Year-to-date as of Sept. 30, Lewis County home sales rose by 8 percent, from 115 to 124, and St. Lawrence County sales increased 3 percent, from 398 to 409.
If you look at what happened away from the apartments in Jefferson County, sales are better in Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Overall, sales have been stable in those counties over the past two years, Mr. Evans said.
Fourth-quarter home sales in the tri-county region are expected to reflect the same trend, he said, with Jefferson County down from last year. But he said he is optimistic about the residential market in 2014, because military members who are deployed overseas less often will find buying houses attractive.
I think youre going to see similar pressure all around the housing market next year, he said.
Year-to-date sales through Sept. 30 show the median home price in Jefferson County increased by 7 percent, from $147,000 to $157,000. The median home price in Lewis County decreased 4 percent, from $115,000 to $110,000, while the median price in St. Lawrence County stayed even at $80,000.
Statistics are based on home sales reported by about 340 members of the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Realtors and about 180 from the St. Lawrence Board of Realtors.

You would have to be very optimistic to see him becoming a difference maker in Baltimore any time before 2014. The fact that he's one of the two best prospects in our system and the other guy, Machado, should arrive around the same time means this team will not have much support coming from the farm for a while.
I understand what a prospect is. I couldn't tell who I was responding to in my last post, but the poster said Bundy "can't be judged a top prospect" until he proves himself. I was disagreeing with that poster's sentiment that he cannot be a top prospect yet. I think Bundy has shown enough to warrant top prospect status and I challenge anyone to find a reputable scout or prospect expert saying he isn't. Even those tempering expectations because he is young and hasn't pitched professionally would still put him in the elite prospect category.

I'm looking to make a windscreen and a DIY caldera cone. I've already got some practice with aluminum flashing but I'm looking to switch to Ti for durability and shape retention.Tigoat has been out of stock for a while now and I'm not coming up with much on ebay.
I'm surprised that you didn't find anything on ebay. I usually see a lot of Ti foil on ebay. You could try Suluk46. I don't have time to check right now if they are still offering it.
seekoutside has some
What thickness are you looking for?I found several, ebay titanium foil.
Kevin your site only lists 2 dimensions for the foil: thickness X height(assuming)...is this priced by the foot?
Edited by jnklein21 on 03/13/2013 13:18:12 MDT.
@Colin (covering eBay part below) I'll give Suluk46 another look. I remember seeing them offering pre-sized windscreens but not materials or cones.***doesn't look like they sell sheets/foil anymore. I'll shoot them an email later though.@EricThis is the only one that might work for me. Everything else seems too thick or not wide enough (almost everything is under 4")http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-3-3-3-Titanium-Foil-Sheet-005-x-6-0-x-72-0-37-/151011037070?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2328f58f8eFor the caldera cone shape, you need extra width to fit (I'll likely need somethign like 12x18") the cone pattern.@Kevin, thanks for the site. I'll check it out when I have some time (got back from lunch and just wanted to check this quick before catching back up on work)
Edited by jordo_99 on 03/13/2013 16:53:17 MDT.
By the foot, however we have several types around just shoot me an email what you are looking for
Thanks Kevin, I'll try to figure how what size I need tonight and get back to you.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Best Buy Co., Research In Motion Ltd. and J.C. Penney Co. made big moves on Friday, while Boeing Co., Wells Fargo & Co. and China's Baidu.com Inc. were among top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$BA: Boeing BA, -0.28% shares fell after the Federal Aviation Administration said it would launch a review of the 787 Dreamliner. But the FAA stood by the certification process for the state-of-the-art aircraft. "Nothing we've seen would indicate this plane is not safe," said Federal Aviation Administrator Michael Huerta. Read: Boeing stock loses altitude on 787 worries.
The move follows a series of mishaps involving the Dreamliner, including a battery fire.
@h1todama: At least the Boeing 787 doesn't run Windows 8... or does it? $BA $MSFT
$WFC: Wells Fargo WFC, -0.61% shares are under pressure after the bank reported its net interest margin fell more than expected, even as its earnings rose.
Wells Fargo said fourth-quarter profit rose to 91 cents a share from 73 cents a share a year earlier. Its net interest margin, the spread between lending and investing, declined to 3.56% from 3.89% a year ago. See: Wells Fargo profit rises.
@brentbizz: Poor $WFC beats estimates on earnings, but still takes a hit on open. They can't catch a break.
$BIDU: U.S.-listed shares of Baidu BIDU, +1.69% rose for a third day after the company joined the ranks of J.P. Morgan's top picks earlier this week.
How will U.S. companies spend?
Sprawling American conglomerates are pretty loaded up with cash after years of cost-cutting. What will they do with it in 2013?
"With much negative sentiment already factored in to the share price, we see drivers for Baidu over the next few months to be: (1) good 4Q12 results; (2) improvement in ad spend with more positive macroeconomic outlook; (3) higher mobile monetization in 2013; and (4) stabilizing margins. Baidu remains our top pick in the sector," Dick Wei and Evan Zhou wrote in a report.
They rate the stock at overweight with a price target of $170.
@StkConfidential: $BIDU continuing to come back from the dead today.
@dumbmoney77: $BIDU lots of volume again to upside. The big boys want this one
Sina Corp. SINA, -0.30% which operates a popular Chinese microblogging site, is also on the rise.

A U.S. official familiar with the content of the e-mails Gen. John Allen sent to Jill Kelley described them as "embarrassing" and warranting the investigation that has been launched.
"They are embarrassing. If they got out, John Allen would be very embarrassed by them," according to the official, who emphasized that there is no evidence of "physical contact between the two."
The official noted that the e-mails that are under investigation - which have been called "potentially inappropriate" - are from Allen. It is Allen's e-mails that are under investigation, and the official did not know the content of any of Kelley's e-mails to Allen.
"The e-mails are concerning enough to warrant an investigation," the official said.
Related: General John Allen: A Marine of distinction
A second U.S. official, who has had the e-mails described to him, characterized the content as "sexy," but emphasized he could not say whether they "crossed the line."
They "are not the type of e-mails you would want your wife to read," the second official explained.
But a senior official close to Allen told CNN's Nick Paton Walsh Tuesday that there was nothing pointing or referring to sex or an affair or anything of a romantic nature. Allen may have said, informally, "thanks sweetheart" in an e-mail, the official close to Allen insisted.
"Anyone who knows him knows his style - he has a habit of replying to every single e-mail (he is sent). Kelley would e-mail his business and personal accounts," that official said.
It will be up to the Defense Department's inspector general to decide specifically if the content of the e-mails is so inappropriate that they would be considered conduct unbecoming an officer, according to a third source, a senior U.S. official. This official pointed out this may be a very difficult matter to decide because everyone has a personal definition of what is "affectionate, admiration, all the way to what some might define as sexting."
I am no longer certain the place you are getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time finding out more or working out more. Thank you for magnificent info I used to be looking for this info for my mission.
I would like to know if these two senior officers ended any careers of junior officers or senior ncos in their command for similar behavior. If they did, they should suffer the same consequence.
who cares that he sent a potentially flirtatious email. every media outlet that spends time covering this is worthless. there are so many more important issues than this
This story illustrates the whole insane obsession with making sure powerful married men don't get any. Its OK if gays and single men screw around. Its OK if unmarried woman sleep around and have illegitimate babies. Its OK if men and women divorce their spouses and abandon their families. But its an unpardonable sin if a married man sent a flirtatious email to a young pretty woman!! No wonder fewer and fewer men are getting married and more and more think its a scam. Petraeus deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor for staying with his dumpy, frumpy wife as long as he has, rather than dumping her long ago for one of the many pretty, fit women who were sure to be attracted to a powerful successful man who works to stay fit. .
Dude, you sound so jealous of single people. No one puts a gun to a guy's or woman's head & forces them to marry. But the bride and groom DO take vows that they're supposed to honor. Heck, don't get married! If you do, my motto is "Work it out or get out-don't weasel out by cheating." When things start to suck in your marriage, make the mature choice: get help to make the relationship better or cut your losses. Idiots cheat.
What your individual issue it is up to you. My issue is I don't think the media should focus on such.
You sound like a sad old goat who is jealous of single guys and all the "benefits" they get, but also wants to keep the benefits of being married. It doesn't work like that, man. No one's forcing you to get married – but you can't have it both ways. You have to pick one or the other.
And you might want to get real about those fit, pretty women too – they're not really attracted to a guy like Petraeus. They're attracted to either his money or the fame associated with being at the center of something like this (bet Paula Broadwell writes a book about it and goes on reality T.V!) You're not seducing them, they're playing you. Usually just for some coach bags and expensive dinners, but make no mistake about it they're using you.
A 4 Start General should know better than sending 20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails that "might" be misunderstood to anyone. In the corporate world we learned long ago that everything you write will "come back" at some point. I am certain if you asked him, he would tell you that he would not "do it again".
I don't care if he hangs out with Pee Wee Herman! Show me only the things that really matter and illegal that he does not what circus he attends. People get real!
Please define, oh great one, exactly what it is that matters.
Please define, oh great one, exactly what it is that matters.
I said that.
So here's how it works: If you are in the public eye, then suddenly if you take a crap at the wrong time, IT COUNTS, and if you have an affair, IT COUNTS, and if you blow your nose while in command...it counts! There is something wrong with the current system. NO-ONE should have such access to when you blow you nose.
Some things are about the people; some things are about the person. The former is up for scrutiny; the later is not...not in a sane world, at least.
Hey guys, you should look what Allen have been contributing to your nation that He sold entire his life to. The flirtous emails is his personal probs and dont understand why you guy want to attack him ????!! You should blaim the war...
I think it's terrible. I wish I could see them!!!! lol
Every time McCain opens his mouth, he embarrasses himself and his party. The man is either senile or paranoid (or both). This country would have been up to S___T creek had he been elected. He should have retired years ago and he would have gone out as a hero, not an idiot.
Who cares!?! Some man wanted to get laid. THIS ISN'T NEWS!! If it isn't jeopardizing my liberty and safety, I don't want to hear about it!
It is jeopardizing your safety. If foreign intelligence services find out that he has a loose zipper and a lust for other women, he could get blackmailed or used by foreign intelligence. It has everything to do with national security when the CIA director doesn't have his personal house in order. Maybe if you read about past incidents with other agencies/countries, you would understand why it's a big deal.
I would suggest that powerful men (generals, presidents, etc.) have been lusting after women and having affairs since time began. We all know several great examples (JFK, Clinton, Thomas Jefferson, to name a few). The only difference is that in the email age, these are more likely to come to light. Why should we treat or think of them professionally differently today than we have for thousands of years? Why should an affarir today be considered so serious as you suggest? Moral? No. Something new and scary? No.
OMG! He could! He might! It's possible that a terrorist could be hiding In Your Pants right this very second! Go to Alert Level Orange immediately! Take off your shoes! Stand on that spot right there and spread your legs! Don't you understand?!? He might possibly be blackmailed!!! World War III! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Do you really take pride in being that ignorant?
Honestly, if this guy wants to cheat on his wife that is his business. It has nothing to do at how he performs his duties. You people watch to much E! news. Worry about your own lives, I'm sure they are not perfect either.
Actually, when you are a spy / and or in charge of intelligence and married it has much to do about the potential to be a position to be blackmailed or compromised.
Some knowledge of history and similar incidents would help put it into perspective for you.
Well said. I've tried explaining that to many people, but they always give the "it's their business" routine, without thinking critically about the ramifications of a high-level security official who sleeps around.
In the military, adultery is a crime punishable by court martial.
Fundamental rule of email: If you don't want your Mama or a judge to read it; DON'T SEND IT!
It's great to see that General Allen isn't too overworked, or stressed out by fighting a war, to take time out to write filthy emails to a bimbo.
Since you have no knowledge of the content of those email, but feel confident to judge them to be "filthy", I have confidence to judge you as a low-brow who's comments are being blown out your rectum (to avoid using a word that would ge this response censored by the net-cop admin)
Its a case of: "What did the General tweet, and when did he tweet it !"
While much of this is political, I am amazed that people, especially those in power, are not more careful about what they say in an email or put on the internet. I recall years ago warning my employees about what they said in emails. One should never consider email or a social media private. This is simple logic.
If you are the leader of the CIA and you can't squash a few emails from being posted, then what does that say for the rest of it.
The biggest inquiry should be when did this guy find the time to do his job?
Running a war and emailing a civilian socialite has to be at least as bad as texting and driving.
So you expect this guy to be working 24 hours a day 7 days week? I think I'll keep you to the same standard. You get off CNN and GET TO WORK!
Really? 30,000 emails works for you?
Tell that to soldiers who are in harms way 24/7
here we go again. the congress has found something to waste their time on instead of solving bigger issues facing the country.let the investigation take its course and if nothing has been compromised then let the individuals family deal with issue of infidelity. what a waste of time for congress to spend on a issue like this. let us worry about the fiscal cliff and how to prevent it. people who are not involved in it should be sent to places like new york/jersey to address issues relating to sandy than to sit in dc and appear on tv channels and giving worhtless comments
This is the best comment I have read yet on this subject.
well said Sam
Thank you, Sam.
This whole thing was just a gag done by "Just for Laughs" gag TV in Montreal. They sent all the emails. The Canadians are laughing their heads off.
But really, when times are depressing, some comedy is called for. Let the generals roll, I say. Every day the scandal seems to get bigger and better. This is well paid for entertainment for all the oppressed taxpayers. Kudos to the 1st media outlet to publish the juiciest emails. All those hurricane victims should take up residence in the military barracks until we get a real military trained.
Who cares!
It was also embarrassing when Prince Charles said he wanted to be Camilla's tampon! – most is embarrassing re. private conversations when intimate. He recovered . . . so will Allen. I hope none of the contents is revealed for his sake.
Tat is just gross! Seriously!
People cheat every day and this guy is wrong only because of his position...if it is wrong to cheat then everyone who does it should be dragged through the mud...cheating on your spouse is wrong no matter who it is.
Most people who do cheat get dragged through the mud. My ex-wife cheated on me while deployed. She was stupid enough to videotape and take pictures of her encounters and left them on our computer. I'm sure her family and friends enjoyed seeing the emails with attached pics/video...
People please what is wrong with Republicans,with all that has happened and is happening this is what their focus is on. Gen Patreaus had an affair he did not sodomise an under age boy or rape anybody and the only one he needs to answer to is his wife. Not to mention he has already resigned his position. Give me a break. Then you have Graham and Mccain talking all this crap about embassador Rice, they really are just embarrassing themselves. I would give that woman my vote anytime if she were runnning against either one of them, they need to both retire and go away.
If it was the Republicans it would have came out a little earlier than the day after the election.
Excellent point.
Well Eric Cantor knew about it all way before the election and never told anyone. Maybe because Petraeus is a repub and maybe he was considered as having a future in the GOP!
Agree that the comments by McCain and Lindsay Graham about Amb. Rice were outrageous. McCain makes less and less sense every time he opens his mouth. The man needs to retire to a nice, cozy home for old people. Having been a U.S. Senator, he'll notice little difference in either the environment or the people around him.
Government should respect privacy. This is such a waste, unless there is a threat to others investigating a love triangle with no impact to anyone but those involved should remain the business of those involved. I am also sure that family members hurt but such things don't like the publicity either. Investigate the many unsolved crimes, or drug dealers on our streets that are still causing harm, could solve alot more with those resources shifted from something where no crime or hurt (other than those family members betrayed) was done. He is no longer in the position at the CIA, so no potential conflict remains there, move on. Are they going to make up something to charge him with? I feel for the family he betrayed; let them heal and move on
I agree fully Joe. This is no ones business, and if they haven't found any thing, then what is there point? This kind of B.S. always surrounds after Nov. elections it seems.
So y'all are ok with the FBI investigating the CIA director with no oversight or notice to the Administration? They weren't investigating Petraeus for having an affair, they were investigating to see if there was a potential for blackmail or if a crime had been committed; finding the affair was a by-product. Only two scenarios that need to be investigated by Congress: 1) FBI investigated on potential national security breach and didn't inform either the Administration or Congress (big no no's) or 2) FBI informed Administration who then held onto the information until after the election so as to not let it affect news cycle leading up to election.
Since it looks like the affair occured while in was in the army; he violated several "rules of conduct" that he had agreed to live by; and as a 4 star general was required to make certain everyone under his command lived by. If he was still in the army he could be CHARGED and convicted under the Army Code of Conduct for (1) commiting adultry and (2) having an affair with a junior officer (she is in the National Guard). He violated the rules of the Army. It is no longer "personal". We have the right to expect better from people we expect to LEAD.
The time line indicates it happened after he resigned and became the CIA Director. He resigned and that was the right thing to do. It also appears that he is going to testify tomorrow.
The only question I still have is why an FBI agent reported to Eric Cantor and why Eric Cantor sat on the information for weeks.
She's not a junior officer though. LTC=Battalion Commander
I think the real controversy here is that some FBI guys can just "decide" on their own to start snooping around other people's emails, and have the tools to spy even on higher ranking officials. That means none of us are safe from jerks at FBI who decide to spy on random people just cause they are bored or have some petty revenge cause you looked at them funny one day.
I don't want anyone to have such power

|Suicide Prevention
Despite the attention given school violence and school violence reduction in recent years, relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of youth suicide during the same period of time. How bad is the problem? Consider that for U.S. children of all races, 1,883 10- to 19-year-olds died by their own hand in 2001, while in preliminary data from the 2001-02 school year, 17 students died in homicides and suicides at school. 1 Even in the last year for which complete data are available (1999-2000), 32 deaths (both homicides and suicides) occurred at U.S. schools. And the actual number of U.S. youth suicides is very likely higher, given that many experts believe some suicides are for various reasons labeled as "accidents" in death reports.
Although no one factor "causes" a person to take his or her own life, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other sources indicate that certain factors can be correlated with youth at considerably greater risk of attempting suicide. Among these numerous factors are:
What are the most effective methods of suicide prevention among children and youth?
While research suggests that the most effective method of suicide prevention is early identification and treatment of persons at risk, the 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse suggested that a mere 36% of young people at risk for suicide in the prior year had received mental health treatment. The research also found that fewer than 20% of youth at risk for suicide obtained the services of a private therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or counselor.
Research likewise indicates that youth who possess "resiliency" and protective factors are less likely to think about committing suicide. In fact, some longitudinal studies propose that the power of protective factors to prevent risk behaviors such as suicide ideation is greater than the existence of risk factors. Some of these protective factors include "social problem-solving competencies" as well as "environmental characteristics such as contact with a caring adult and a school climate that promotes students' involvement, contribution and sense of connection with their school." 5 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site identifies additional protective factors: 6

I have observed many close calls with deer on the runway. I watched a Mooney land on one, spun the deer around, and the Mooney landed safely. The pilot didn't know he had such a close call until we told him. There was deer hair on his fuselage. That was a very close call. Those creatures are quick.
Are you Boyd Butler's lady?!
I hit a deer in a CJ after landing and managed to get to the left side of the runway to reduce the amount of damage of a Buck that ran at the plane. It took out the right gear door and the flap. $40,000.00 damage done. Airport took 20 deer the next two weeks now we don't see them. About 6 months later in a C421 just at the point of touch down a deer ran in my path from the left side of runway, with my cat like reflexes I pulled back on yoke and managed to hit the deer in the head with the tire, taxing back it was laying on the side of the runway sitting up, as I approached, it stood up and walked off. The airport there has also started thinning out the local herd. In 44 years and 23,000 hours I have hit Birds, Owel, Fox, Pigeons and Deer, you have to be alert at all time.
$40,000 in repair cost... You got of pretty light... Figured it would have been a lot more cost than that....
About 9 yrs ago my flight instructor and I were on our take-off roll...just about at 45 mph I started trying to say something but kept stuttering....lol....He looked over at me and said "what in the h%^l is wrong with you?"....I then managed to say "DEER"....There were four deer running toward the runway; he pulled the power back and took us into the grass...We then back taxied and gave it another go.
Oh Deer!
thanks for that ace!
Not good... But Birds, Deer, and other wild life are pretty common. Being in Maintenance Control, I probably hear more on this than most.
Bout as bad as the foxes I've seen scurrying across the runways at MEM.
im still trying to work out how a deer makes a plane catch fire. but then i read the rest of the info then i understood. its not a thing you hear every day
When the landing gear struck the deer it buckled under and the wing struck the ground. Causing the wing to tear open and spill the fuel. The sparks from the dragging landing gear provided the sparks to ignite the fuel.
Punctured the wing/fuel tank
This little GA strip is in a pretty rural area. My daughter went to college in Greenwood and believe me, there are TONS of deer nearby. The roads around there show frequent signs of auto-deer collisions. To hit one in a Citation is pretty lousy timing.
SC, not GA, but yes if you don't see at least a couple of deer a day here you aren't looking very hard.
duh, sorry you were talking Gen Av., my bad. Its late.
that day was NOT the pilots day
sure it was.....he survived and his pax did too
Repost again old news from over a week ago.
"It went under the left wing..." Funny. If there was video of this incident, I'd wager that it would show that the "left wing went over the deer." When a jet just touches down, it is still travelling a whole lot faster than a deer can run.
Oh Poop...
A few years ago I was landing, directly in the sun, when 2 deer stepped out on the runway. Thank God for an observant Air Carrier. He spotted me down the runway in front of the deer. The amazing part was after I tied down these same deer walked directly behind the tail of my plane while I was tying down the wings.
Gong on a shooting rampage to slaughter 4 legged wildlife around an open range airport will only slow down the migration, but will never stop it. A sufficiently high perimeter fence to restrict/limit their freedom of movement is among the best of options for the long term.
ah.."shooting rampage"..The hysterical "all or nothing" straw man argument.
No one has suggested any type of inhumane act.
The fact is with no natural predators, the deer population is out of control.
Worked as a lineman for Berry Aviation @ KHYI during college.....saw a cherokee hit a coyote square through the prop and into the nose wheel during landing.....long story short a nose gear collapse and a new prop and engine were in order........
A mesa Beech1900 hit a bunch of deer and the port side propeller came through the cabin missing everyone.
I guess its human season and the deer are out in force.
Who said they were innocent furry animals that cant protect themselves. I'm going to learn to hunt so I can protect human kind LOL
Preliminary NTSB accident report for N6763L -- http://www.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=20121117X40351&key=1
I live in Missouri. We cull the herd every year and the number of deer per square mile is estimated to be between 9 and 30 depending on what part of the state you live in. I started hunting deer about 12 years ago and look forward to my time in the woods every year. Unfortunately I live in the part of Missouri were there are about 9 deer per square mile. I got a great shot opportunity with my bow this year. Got the pre-shot jitters and missed. Our local airport CGI sees more coyotes than deer.
Here in the Southeast we have a HUGE problem wiht deer over population. Yet so called wildlife experts refuse to allow special hunts to cull the heard.
Therefore,accidents such as this will continue to occur. As the white tail deer population continues to explode, these collisions will become more frequent.
Luckily it's just an aircraft. It could have resulted in the loss of human life.
Vengeance is mine saith the deer!
I am glad everyone made it off safely....I remember a few years ago whenever I would go over to the airport whenever planes landed at night to watch them head back out after dropping off their cargo and just thinking about how bad it would be if they had struck a deer...I've only been to Greenwood once but I do remember there being a lot of trees around it.
I have hit several animals and MANY birds in the 30+ years in the cockpit. Here we have a MULTI-MLLION Dollar aircraft destroyed, and COULD have had injuries or fatalities of people. There is NO animal worth that kind of damage or risk. They HAVE to put a secure perimeter around airports to keep birds and animals away. Killing them would be the preferred method, when other methods fail. Whatever the method this HAS TO BE DONE!
Oh Deer... Too bad it was small airplane, B777 would likely survived even if deer was ingested into the engine.

Surgery-Induced Tissue Adhesions
Device: CoSeal Surgical Spray Group
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Effects of CoSeal in Reducing Perioperative Bleeding & Adhesions in Pediatric Heart Surgery
- Severity of adhesions at seven predefined sites [ Time Frame: Severity of adhesions data will be collected during approximately the first 30-60 minutes of the second staged surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Severity of adhesions at seven predefined sites (pericardial or retrosternal, inferior or diaphragmatic region, right lateral or arterial region, region around great vessels). Severity of adhesions is graded as 0 = no adhesions, 1 = filmy and avascular, 2 = requiring blunt dissection, 3 = requiring sharp dissection, 4 = requiring extensive sharp dissection. Adhesion scores for each patient will be derived from the sum of adhesion severity scores at each site, from 0 (no adhesions) to 28 (cohesive adhesions at all sites).
- Post-operative bleeding [ Time Frame: Post-operative bleeding data will be collected on average, during the first 36 hours after the surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Post-operative bleeding through surgical site drainage output.
- Adhesion Burden [ Time Frame: Time it takes for patient to be put on bypass (an average time between 0 and 120 minutes) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Skin to bypass time as an indicator of adhesion burden.
- Ease of use [ Time Frame: Data on use of CoSeal will be collected immediately following the surgery (on average 0-60 minutes postoperatively) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Ease of use of CoSeal - graded by primary surgeon using a Likert-scale (ranging from 1 [very easy] to 5 [very difficult]).
- Type and duration of surgery [ Time Frame: Type and duration of surgery is noted during the first 24 hours postoperatively ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Type and duration of operation and reoperation

The department has an Animal Control Division that consists of one Lieutenant, one Sergeant, and four Animal Control Officers. The Animal Control Officers handle over 100 animals monthly. There is an officer on duty seven (7) days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During those hours they maintain the Animal Control Facility at 3506 E 11th Place in Big Spring. The officers also handle complaints from the general public and issue citations for ordinance violations. These complaints are received at 432-264-2563 and only emergency calls are handled after 5:00 p.m. Along with the duties within the city the officers also respond into Howard County at the request of the Howard County Sheriff's Department. Animal Control requests in the county have to be requested through Howard County Sheriff's Office at 432-264-2244.
The Animal Control Lieutenant is also an advisory member of the local Animal Control Committee. The committee meets quarterly or 4 times a year to consider problems with animals within our jurisdiction and education to the public.
The Animal Control Division has several small and large animal traps to loan to local residents. At this time residents are placed on a waiting list for the traps. When a trap becomes available the Animal Control Officer will assist in setting up and demonstrating the traps operation.
The Big Spring Animal Control has associated itself with Petfinder.com.This is a national database where potential pet owners can go and see if any shelter or associate member has pets they would like to adopt. We are posting pictures of animals, which have been picked up and not claimed by the owner. We believe this will be a big boost in finding homes for our stray animals. Any person looking for a pet is encouraged to go to Petfinder.com and check out the available pets for adoption here and in other parts of the country.

|Dean Smith having memory issues
|Written by MIke Kelly
|Sunday, 18 July 2010 09:28
Former University of North Carolina men's basketball coach Dean Smith is dealing with memory loss.
Smith's family wrote a personal letter to all of his former coaches and players and informed them of this present condition. Smith, a Hall of Fame coach who led the Tar Heels to a pair of national championships (1982 and 1993), is losing some of his remarkable memory that could recall even the smallest details of the past.
Smith, who is 79-years-old. retired in 1997 after 36 seasons with the Tar Heels as the winningest coach in Division I men's basketball. He has 879 victories, a mark passed a decade later by Bob Knight. He also won 13 Atlantic Coast Conference tournaments, and he took the Tar Heels to the Final Four 11 times.
In addition to coaching some of the game's biggest names - Michael Jordan among them - Smith oversaw a program that graduated more than 96 percent of its lettermen.
Despite his recent problems with memory loss, Smith still maintains an office in Chapel Hill and appears to be in good health. He frequently meets with former players, signs autographs and returns fan mail.
NOTES: Mix 102.3 FM is your home for Tar Heels' athletics in the High Country. Our first broadcast of UNC football will be on Saturday, September 4 when the Tar Heels take on LSU at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. Game time is 8 pm, our coverage begins at 7 pm.
