In an effort to rebrand itself to the public, Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn is considering dropping the word community from its name and has tweaked its vision statement.
The colleges Board of Trustees will vote next month on whether to change the name and discussed it Monday at a meeting.
The colleges president, Stan Jensen, supports the change, saying it will better reflect what the college offers. It could entice more international students to attend a growing segment of the student population at many universities in Michigan and throughout the U.S.
We are here to serve our community and our state, Jensen told the Free Press. And we take that very seriously. This will help us to do that better.
The college will celebrate its 75th anniversary in May and is aiming to market itself beyond its trade school origins. This would be the fourth name for the school, originally known as Fordson Junior College and then Dearborn Junior College.
It is changing its vision statement on its logo, too, from Your Best Choice to First Choice. Best Choice, in order to tell people that Henry Ford can be their first choice, not just a place to go because of a lack of options.
The name change is part of a trend of community colleges across Michigan and the U.S. dropping the word community as they try to market themselves to growing numbers of people who are seeking higher education.
Jackson College in Michigan dropped the word community last year. And this month, three community colleges in Seattle said theyre removing the word.
The chairman of Henry Fords board of trustees, Hussein Berry, said he and others on the board support the name change.
Its a great idea, Berry said. Henry Ford is more than a community college.
With 15,000 students, Henry Ford is the fifth largest community college in Michigan. Many of its students transfer to four-year universities after two or three years to get a bachelors degree. Henry Ford is the top feeder school for the University of Michigan-Dearborn, which is right next door.
One-third of the students at Henry Ford are of Arab descent, one-third black, and the other third mostly white, said Jensen. About 30% of students are from Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. The school hopes to attract more foreign students, some of whom hail from countries where it might be difficult to get a scholarship for a college that has the word community in its name.
The college is hoping to offer bachelors degrees in culinary arts and, if the Legislature approves it, for nursing students, who can get only associates degrees at HFCC now, Jensen said. In December 2012, Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law a bill that allows community colleges to offer four-year degrees in certain areas, but nursing was not among them.
Despite the name change, Berry and Jensen stressed, the college hasnt lost sight of its mission.
We dont want the community to think were distancing ourselves from the community, Berry said. Serving the community is part of our mission.

SPRING VALLEY - As part of his presentation on gangs in Rockland, Jim Behrens showed photos of gang graffiti in the village.
Within seconds, several people at last night's meeting began talking among themselves, identifying the buildings that were marked by local street gangs.
Behrens, an investigator with the Rockland County Intelligence Center, had made his point: Gangs are operating close to home, closer than most county residents think, and parents better keep an eye on their children. ...

Marco van Ginkel: Chelsea switch concerns Marc Overmars
Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars fears Marco van Ginkel could stall his career by moving to Chelsea.
The Amsterdam side wanted to sign the 20-year-old Vitesse Arnhem midfielder themselves, but lost out to the Blues.
"Van Ginkel is a great young talent and we would have liked him to come to Ajax," Overmars told BBC Sport.
"Whether it is too early for him to go to Chelsea or not, I don't know. With us, he would have played a lot of games and played in the Champions League."
Van Ginkel's rise
Marco van Ginkel joined Vitesse Arnhem when he was just seven years old and has progressed through their academy. He made his debut for the club in April 2010 and his international debut came in November last year.
Van Ginkel was last season voted the best player under the age of 21 in the Netherlands.
He played a key role in helping Vitesse to end the season in fourth, their highest league finish since 1998, and in November won his first Netherlands cap.
Overmars, who won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995 and the Double with Arsenal in 1997-98, has made no secret of his admiration for the player.
But he revealed: "We couldn't have a discussion with the player as Chelsea have a co-operation agreement with Vitesse and were first choice.
"The important thing for the player is that he gets minutes in the first team. Hopefully the deal goes well and he will get into the team."
Tamas Kalas, Patrick van Aanholt and Gael Kakuta were regulars in Vitesse's first team last season after joining on loan from Chelsea.
A Chelsea spokesman told BBC Sport: "We have a good relationship with them [Vitesse], as we do with many other clubs."
Van Ginkel is set to become Jose Mourinho's second signing of the summer, following the arrival of Germany forward Andre Schurrle.

Hopefully he will be loaned out to a Spanish side before the start of the season with an option to buy. At least in that way chelski can be rid of him before the start of the following season.
Comment number 338. Posted by UKARPon 6 Jul 2013 10:39
@322I said I agree the midfield isn't as strong when you break down the list of players who are already there,but its stronger than ajax's and hence he would get more playing time at Ajax, in a world cup year this is what he needs. I can understand overmars is bitter but I believe he has a point. We will both look really stupid if the intention all along has been to loan him t Ajax for next season

Those players you mentioned are more attack minded as Luiz said. If you pay attention to what formation Chelsea play then you will know. MVG isn't an Oscar or Hazard type player, he is more like a Ramires or Lamps. Chelsea seem short in that area so I can only see quality game time for MVG. If he plays 1000 mins in his first season then it will be great experience & progress.

Van Ginkel is one of the best singning for chelsea
Comment number 335. Posted by Patrickon 5 Jul 2013 21:24
@333, I agree Chelski were lucky against Bayern, as LFC were against AC in 2005. But luck counts.
Celtic (oops, wrong league)
Man Utd
Spurs (if Bale stays)
Haven't a clue abouts cups, anybody (decent and/or lucky) can win them.
Going down...
A tough one - Hull will stay up, Cardiff too
Crystal Palace? Sunderland?
I don't know.
Up ????
Watford, Forest, QPR

I looked the reserves and academy players on Wikipedia, looks okay for CFC. Lots of British players, esp. the academy.
But looking at the reserves and academy of Man U, Arsenal and several others, things are improving for younger players. Good coaching is essential though.
My predictions are up next.

@331and i suppose you think we deserved to win CL and dimatteo is a genuis! Just to put you straight - WE WERE MORE THAN EXTREMELY LUCKY AND DI MATTEO WAS A VERY LUCKY SUNDAY AFTERNOON PUB TEAM MANAGER who achieved the ignominy of taking us out of CL at our pitiful attempt to retain the trophy and yes lamps and essien are finished - done- to old - no - pace stop living in the past

331.David Luiz - Chelsea Cult Hero
I don't think Ramires is particularly culpable for giving the ball away.
I agree with that, but his speciality is raking an opponents shins.
Comment number 331. Posted by David Luiz - Forever A Heroon 5 Jul 2013 18:36
@329 On what basis do you put Lamps & Essien as finished & Romeu as useless. Lamps was superb last year & Essien did pretty well for RM. Romeu has been injured for over a year & looked useful under AVB when he played.
Luiz is a liability at CB but in DM he is awesome.
I don't think Ramires is particularly culpable for giving the ball away.
The last 3 years we have been so poor we have won the CL?

TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. (AP) -- The huge wildfire that's crept into Yosemite National Park is now the biggest wildfire on record in California's Sierra Nevada.
Nearly 3,700 firefighters are battling the approximately 230-square-mile blaze and reporting modest progress, with the fire 15 percent contained.
The fire is raining ash on the reservoir that's the chief source of San Francisco's drinking water. Utility officials are moving water to reservoirs closer to the city.
The fire is still several miles away from the steep granite canyon where the reservoir is nestled, but several spot fires are burning closer. Firefighters are protecting hydroelectric transmission lines and other utility facilities.
Meanwhile, park officials cleared brush and set sprinklers on two groves of giant sequoias that were seven to 10 miles away from the fire's front lines.

ELKO, Nev. (AP) - A dog has a permanent home after surviving six years as a stray around Elko.
Elko Animal Shelter manager Karen Walther says the basset hound mix named Snakebite was adopted after finally being caught earlier this month outside an Elko school.
Walther says she suspects the unaggressive dog was assisted by various people who gave him handouts.
Animal control officer Cindy Danielson told the Elko Daily Free Press she tracked Snakebite for six years after his owners abandoned him outside an Elko motel, and finally caught him Sept. 10.
Danielson says county animal control officers, sheriff's deputies and Nevada Highway Patrol troopers also tried to catch him to no avail.
She says Snakebite was "far too clever" to be lured by traps, planted treats and other methods.

Yahoo: Cassel Out 2-4 Weeks
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel could miss two to four weeks with a strained MCL in his knee, according to Yahoo's Jason Cole.
The injury is not expected to require surgery because MCL injuries usually heal on their own. Cassel also suffered an ankle injury, but that was not considered a erious as the MCL injury.
If Cassel is out the full four weeks, that would be right in time for the Chiefs game at Philadelphia.
I want to see Cassel starting for Kansas City as soon as possible, but I hope they give him as much time as possible even if that means waiting until the Giants game at Arrowhead on October 4th.
In the meantime Todd Haley needs to pick who will start in place of Cassel and do it quickly. I'm partial to Thigpen, I've been clear about that, but no matter who it is the offense needs to mesh with that player sooner rather than later.
This also changes what we've been conditioned to think about the fourth preseason game. Brodie Croyle, Matt Gutierrez or Thigpen need a full half with the offensive starters so they aren't going into Week 1 against the Ravens cold.

We've all played pool basketball at least once in our lifetime, this group does so with flair.
In addition to having a tricked-out backyard, this group of youngsters does a slam dunk routine that rivals something out of an AND1 Mixtape.
Is that the best pool dunk you've ever seen? I personally wouldn't have minded if the camera guy was involved in the proceedings.

Stars single game tickets for October and November go on sale Friday
Here is the press release:
Frisco, Tex. – The Dallas Stars announced today that individual tickets for October and November regular season home games go on sale to the public on Friday, Sept. 10, at 10 a.m. (CT). Exciting match-ups include Opening Night vs. the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 14, the Pittsburgh Penguins on Nov. 3 (Sidney Crosby's only visit to Dallas), and the traditional day-after-Thanksgiving game on Nov. 26 vs. the St. Louis Blues, along with several big Saturday night games.
Fans can purchase tickets through DallasStars.com, by calling 214-GO-STARS, or through Ticketmaster.com.
The Stars are also introducing something new to fans this season – paperless ticketing. The Stars are the first NHL team in North America to offer Ticketmaster's paperless delivery method for all individual game purchases through Ticketmaster.com and DallasStars.com. By choosing paperless delivery, fans can choose to have their tickets delivered electronically, similar to an electronic airline ticket. Prior to entering American Airlines Center, fans simply present the credit card used to purchase their tickets with a valid photo ID to the ticket taker at the door. The ticket taker will swipe the fan's credit card and print out a seat locator slip for the fan to enter the arena and find their seat(s). Paperless tickets helps avoid lost, stolen or counterfeit tickets, and there is no service delivery charge. More information can be found at www.ticketmaster.com/paperless. The Stars will also continue to offer traditional printed tickets for fans that want it, including the ability to print tickets at home or work from their own printer.
"We're very excited about offering Ticketmaster's paperless ticket delivery method to our fans," said Stars Executive Vice President Geoff Moore. "We've always prided ourselves in trying to stay ahead of the curve with technology and this is another example. The paperless ticketing system is very efficient. We think our fans will appreciate the ease and convenience of it when purchasing tickets to Stars games."
The Stars will also utilize dynamic ticket pricing again for single-game tickets in both the Platinum Level and Upper Level this season (the club introduced the concept to only Upper Level seats last year). Dynamic pricing allows real-time market conditions and consumer demand to set the right price at the right time using an algorithm-based software application. The application is designed to respond to changing conditions related to each individual game.
The best prices are often found early. Dynamic pricing will provide fans with great prices starting from the initial on-sale on Sept. 10. The ticket prices can go up or down based on a variety of factors, including league standings, opposing team, star players, day of the week, and real time supply and demand. Dynamic pricing for Platinum Level and Upper Level tickets will continue all season. Fans will be able to check out the current prices at any time at DallasStars.com. The Stars were the first NHL team to adopt the use of dynamic ticket pricing.
Individual tickets for Stars home games from December & January will go on sale on Nov. 4, while February, March & April games will go on sale on Dec. 27. However, fans interested in these games now can purchase a partial season ticket plan today and pick their games from the entire 41-game regular season home schedule. Call 214-GO-STARS or visit DallasStars.com for more information.

Make-up master Savini's program going strong in Monessen
With an artist's flair, Richard Brennan meticulously applied "blood" — a potion including corn syrup and food coloring — to complete a demonstration of zombie make-up believable enough to startle passersby in Monessen.
Brennan, 21, practices his special effects skills as a student at Tom Savini's Special Make-Up Effects Program, a part of the Douglas Education Center in Monessen.
The 13-year-old program named for local actor, director and special make-up effects guru Tom Savini has educated more than 1,000 students. October is a big month for enrollment, Savini said, possibly with Halloween as a contributing factor.
Savini, 66, a Pittsburgh native who now travels worldwide to help bring films to the big screen, serves as a consultant to the program.
He looked on as Brennan, a New York native, applied make-up on fellow student Zack Graham, 19, of Michigan.
"Clean edges — that's great," Savini told Brennan.
The first step to transforming a student's face into a believable zombie: Creating a foam cast of the subject's face, then molding it to fit just right.
Students learn how to create and bring sculpture to life.
"We call it the Frankenstein system," Savini said.
No matter how outlandish the character — even an alien or zombie — Savini reminds his students to pay attention to bone structure.
"The trick is to use the real person as much as possible," he said.
Students study disciplines of anatomy, animatronics, art appreciation, painting and cosmetology.
Indeed, Brennan said: "You learn everything from sculpting it, molding it, applying it."
Students leave the program with skills to work in the film industry, talents that also translate to work in prosthetic industries, dental labs and mortician's offices.
Graduates of the 16-month degree program have appeared on TV shows, such as SyFy's "Face Off," TLC's "Cake Boss" and Food Network's "Sugar Dome," said Katharine Kellar, the center's public relations coordinator. They've also worked with "Saturday Night Live" and AMC's "The Walking Dead," among a "large variety of TV and movies," Kellar said.
Students travel from as far away as Budapest, Paris, Colombia and from across the United States to study at the Savini school.
Graham said he dreamed of attending the Savini school since eighth grade. He hopes to work in the film industry in Los Angeles.
Classmate Brennan, too, aspires to work in film as a sculptor and creature designer.
For Halloween this year, they'll both re-purpose costumes they made in class.
Students work with lead instructor and technical director Jerry Gergely of Charleroi, who concentrates on sculpture and mold-making. Gergely served as key special effects makeup artist for TV series "Babylon 5," and also assisted with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The X-Files."
"I've wanted to make movies since I was probably about 9 years old," Gergely said.
Since the program began in 2000, school buildings have expanded and so have class sizes. The first class numbered 13, and the most recent class boasts 60 students, Savini said.
Savini, a self-taught special effects wizard, remembers studying books to learn the tricks of the trade.
"I started when I was 11," Savini said. "You go see a movie, you go home to experiment on yourself."
He'd talk to renowned makeup artist Dick Smith on the phone, listening to Smith "share his secrets."
Savini has published two books about makeup effects.
He's also racked up a laundry list of film credits, including serving as director for the 1990 version of "Night of the Living Dead." Among his movie credits, he's acted in "Django Unchained," "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," "Dawn of the Dead" and "The Simpsons."
In addition, he's created special make-up effects for films including "Friday the 13th," "Maniac, and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre II."

Game of success
Mark Otero
Degree: M.B.A.
Graduation year: 2007
Mark Otero grew up humbly in South Korea. Today — and after a UC Davis education — he operates a thriving gaming company in Sacramento.
A self-described serial entrepreneur, Otero and his business partner in three years bootstrapped Sacramento-based KlickNation into a multi-million-dollar social media company creating fantasy and sci-fi role-playing games.
"I love the intense creative process, the capacity to create new products and services," said Otero, who sold the startup in December 2011 to Fortune 500 gaming giant Electronic Arts.
KlickNation has become BioWare Sacramento, the newest studio of BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts, with Otero as the general manager. Otero, who received his M.B.A. degree from UC Davis in 2007, credits his alma mater with helping to make it all possible.
"The skills and knowledge I gained at UC Davis enabled me to scale KlickNation from two to a team of 70 in just 24 months," said Otero, who recently made a major gift pledge to establish a faculty fellowship as well as the Otero Faculty Resource Center in Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. Hall, home of the Graduate School of Management.
Alumni like Otero are examples of how UC Davis' highly ranked M.B.A. program prepares students to excel in leadership and innovation.

Congratulations! You have now reached the bottom of the barrel. Your headline is nothing more than an effort to incite the public. Why not just print the names and addresses of those who have "legal gun permits" to enable people to attack us. Isn't that what you are trying to do with this type of journalism (and I use that term loosely)? But of course, that would be OK because we're the bad guys. And while we're at it, let's take away driving privileges and all cars - after all, don't cars kill more people than guns?
Again, congratulations on reaching the bottom of the barrel!

Industrial quality, pump is machined from solid bar stock, water powered backup sump pump designed to be connected to a 3/4" municipal water supply after the water meter in your basement.
The water commander is the only water-powered backup sump for 3/4 inch residential pipe that will remove up to 1,324 gallons per hour at 10 foot lift with 60 PSI. 77% more water removed than the next highest rated water-powered backup sump available for home use. Use in you home / factory / restraunt to guard against flooding.
- Starts automatically - no need to be home as you would if using a generator
- Kicks in (if needed) during power outages or primary sump pump failure
- Unlimited run-time capability
- Handles up to 1/3" diameter solids
- Operates on standard municipal water pressure (40 PSI or more)
- Easily mounts on ceiling above sump well
- Works in tandem with your electrical pump, if necessary, in an extreme downpour
- No battery to recharge or replace -No regular maintenance of batteries, no acid spills, Environmentally friendly (no battery disposal)
- Operation is silent
Note: Only the water that is removed from the sump pit itself is counted in the flow ratings. The added municipal water is not counted, is never introduced to the sump pit, and is only used to power the pump. This water is ejected outdoors after mixing with the sump water. Since this is an emergency backup sump pump, this water usage is irrelevant. The small cost of that water, (about 2.6 cents each minute it runs), compared to a basement ruined by flooding, is an easy trade-off.
PumpBiz supports these fine pumps with our Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. Backup sump pump

So I'm up late editing some photos for work, and I thought this would be a neat thing to share.
I'm doing some testing on a product called the "Z-Bench"; it's a combination folding aluminum bench (which doubles as a step similar to the cool one that Herbicidal posted earlier ), bed extender, and cargo box. It's a real quality product. I snapped this photo during a photoshoot for that Honda Rincon last week (so it's not me in the photo lol), but I don't have photos of the other functions yet. When I take the time to clean it and shoot it, I'll post more. But this thing is pretty sweet. It folds up flat agains the inside of the tailgate and is only 2-3 inches wide when stacked. The grey folding gates you see just inside the bed are prototype extender brackets; the guys at Z-Bench are finishing up a nice set of stainless and aluminum ones to try out. Everyone knows how a bed extender works I'm assuming, so I'll skip that part. The cargo box function works by closing the tailgate and then opening up the bench. It unfolds into a box that is about 2.5 feet deep, and is the height and width of the bed box. I've already put 2 window air units, gear bags, moving boxes, and rubbermaid containers under it and they don't budge. Pretty neat. Let me know what you guys think!
Oh, and their web page is ZBench Z Bench Z-Bench tailgate step truck step cargo orgnizer.

I also want to add this to my profile, specifically for those who are considering messaging me on here. I hear "you are really -insert adjective here that describes my looks-" way too often and it gets really old, really fast. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a compliment about me looks as much as the next person, but getting the same ones over and over gets really annoying after a while. I honestly want to hear people say more things like "hey you're really smart" or "hey you have a very sexy brain." now that would be really awesome to hear :D
I am an Ontario-to B.C. transplant. I've been living out here for almost 5 years and I don't plan on moving back to Ontario any time soon. B.C. is my home and it always will be.
I am a kind, intelligent, fun loving, out going, VERY silly by temperament, and somewhat bratty polyamorus person looking to meet other polyamorus people to have a few laughs, share some good times and to develop romantic relationships with. Key word being Romantic relationships. I don't do swinging sorry.
Both my partner and myself have reached a really comfortable place where we both feel good with looking for other people to form romantic relationships with so I'm happily looking again.
Originally, this paragraph here was about me coming out as a feminist and now this paragraph is here instead. Why? Well as of late, I have been seeing way too many people who are claiming to be feminist actually turn out to be man haters, amongst other things, and taking the ideas and positive attributes of feminism and basically turn it into misandry. That's wrong and is extremely counter productive to what feminism was originally about. I have seen too many good people of all genders, orientations, colours, shapes, sizes, etc... Wind up on the wrong side of the gun so to speak by people who are using feminism as a way to get back at men and other people for things like oppression, rape, violence etc... And I refuse to associate myself with feminism until things have changed.
Don't get me wrong, I am a strong, empowered, independent women who believes in equality for all, but I refuse to be painted with the same brush as those who claim to be something when in fact the evidence shows that they are clearly something else.
I hope to make friends, go out on dates, maybe have one more partner but most importantly I want to meet new people.
I am, without a doubt an anime fan and a hard core Sailor Moon fan, also known as a "Moonie". I've been in love with the show since I was little and I rediscovered it when I was 12 and learned the Japanese version is SO much better! My favorite character is Sailor Saturn because she and I are alike in many ways. If you want to know a bit more about her feel free to ask or look her up online.
If you take a look in my pictures you can see a photo of me in a Sailor Jupiter costume taken at Anime Evolution 2010. I REALLY want to do more of these! They do a Sailor Moon Photo shoot at Cos & Effect every year and I am currently saving up to get a Sailor Saturn cosplay commissioned by Christmas 2012. (ok Christmas 2012 came and went and I STILL don't have my Saturn costume but dammit, I'm determined! :D) As for my Jupiter Costume, I've decided to retire her.
Warning. Random moments of acting like a cat are in effect. Meow =^.^=
I can also be really girly. Hair, make up, clothes, ESPECIALLY dresses, shoes, and cute things are some of my favorite obsessions :P

POSTED: 5:02 a.m. HST, Nov 12, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 11:42 a.m. HST, Nov 12, 2012
WASHINGTON >> Ex-CIA director David Petraeus has told friends he was shocked to find that his biographer and girlfriend, Paula Broadwell, was suspected of sending anonymous, threatening emails to a Petraeus friend she saw as a romantic rival.
A close Petraeus associate said today that FBI investigators told Petraeus that Broadwell sent anonymous emails to Jill Kelley, a Petraeus family friend from his time at Central Command in Tampa, warning her to stay away from him. The Petraeus associate spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential conversations with Petraeus. The CIA director resigned last week after confessing to the affair.
Petraeus was not shown the emails, but was told the tone and content seemed threatening to Kelley, prompting her to report them, the close Petraeus associate said. That triggered the investigation that led the FBI to Broadwell and evidence of her affair with Petraeus.
The affair began in 2011, two months after he became CIA director, a friend and former top aide said today. The case has sparked an uproar in Congress over FBI investigative tactics and complaints by lawmakers they weren't told soon enough about the probe rocking the intelligence and law enforcement establishment.
Petraeus, who resigned last week as the nation's head spy, and his family are said to be devastated over the affair, especially his wife Holly, who "is not exactly pleased right now," said Steve Boylan, a friend and former Petraeus spokesman who spoke to Petraeus over the weekend.
"Furious would be an understatement," Boylan told ABC's "Good Morning America." He said Petraeus ended the affair four months ago.
Members of Congress said they want to know more details about the FBI investigation that revealed the extramarital affair between Petraeus and Broadwell. They questioned when the retired general popped up in the FBI inquiry, whether national security was compromised and why they weren't told sooner.
Petraeus, 60, quit Friday after acknowledging the affair. He has been married 38 years to Holly Petraeus, with whom he has two adult children, including a son who led an infantry platoon in Afghanistan as an Army lieutenant.
Broadwell, a 40-year-old graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and an Army Reserve officer, is married with two young sons.
According to a senior U.S. military official, Kelley, 37, who lives in Tampa, Fla., and serves as an unpaid social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, where the military's Central Command and Special Operations Command are located. Staffers for Petraeus said Kelley and her husband were regular guests at events he held at Central Command headquarters.
A U.S. official said the coalition countries represented at Central Command gave Kelley an appreciation certificate on which she was referred to as an "honorary ambassador" to the coalition, but she has no official status and is not employed by the U.S. government.
In a statement Sunday, Kelley and her husband, Scott, said: "We and our family have been friends with Gen. Petraeus and his family for over five years. We respect his and his family's privacy and want the same for us and our three children."
The military official who identified Kelley spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation. He said Kelley had received harassing emails from Broadwell, which led the FBI to examine her email account and eventually discover her relationship with Petraeus. It was not clear what led Broadwell to send the emails to Kelley.
The FBI contacted Petraeus and other intelligence officials, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asked Petraeus to resign.
A former associate of Petraeus confirmed the target of the emails was Kelley, but said there was no affair between the two, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the retired general's private life. The associate said Kelley and her husband were longtime friends of Petraeus and his wife.
Boylan said today that Petraeus is keenly aware that he has injured his family while losing "one of the best jobs he ever had. He's devastated." The affair with Broadwell started about two months after Petraeus took the CIA post, Boylan said. Petraeus became CIA director in September 2011.
Petraeus' affair with Broadwell will be the subject of meetings Wednesday involving congressional intelligence committee leaders, FBI deputy director Sean Joyce and CIA deputy director Michael Morell.
Petraeus had been scheduled to appear before congressional committees on Thursday to testify about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. Morell was expected to testify in place of Petraeus, and lawmakers said he should have the answers to their questions.
Clapper was told by the Justice Department of the Petraeus investigation last week at about 5 p.m. on Election Day, and then called Petraeus and urged him to resign, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
FBI officials said the congressional committees weren't informed until Friday, one official said, because the matter started as a criminal investigation into harassing emails allegedly sent by Broadwell to Kelley.
Concerned that emails Petraeus exchanged with Broadwell raised the possibility of a security breach, the FBI brought the matter up with him directly, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.
Petraeus decided to quit, though he was breaking no laws by having an affair, officials said.
The section surrounding alleged cause of the attack can be found at 34:45
"Now, I don't know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually, um, had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back," she said during her address. "So that's still being vetted."
On Monday, though, following revelations of Broadwell's potential leak of classified information, Fox News reported:
A well-placed Washington source confirms to Fox that there were Libyan militiamen being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi and that their presence was being looked at as a possible motive for the staged attack on the Consulate and Annex that night.
According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA Annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.
The Libya Annex was the largest CIA station in North Africa, and two weeks prior to the attack, the CIA was preparing to shut it down. Most prisoners, according to British and American intelligence sources, had been moved two weeks earlier.
A competing and more popular theory has it that — let's see if I can get this right — he knew he was being investigated and therefore promoted the Obama administration's "lie" about the YouTube video under threat of being outed. Must be true, see, because the CIA station chief in Tripoli said less than 24 hours after the attack that it was AQ or AQ-linked militias that done the deed, and yet Petraeus several days later was still talking about the video in a closed congressional hearing.
Got that?
You can see more along these lines from Laura Ingraham, Patterico, Ace of Spades, Allahpundit, Monica Crowley, and (of course) Ben Shapiro. If only Glenn Beck were still around with his whiteboard, maybe someone would put all the pieces together and really explain what's going on here.
There are times when I think the conservative movement is literally going to explode. Their whole Benghazi obsession long ago left reality behind, reduced to a desperate search for impeachable malfeasance even though all the evidence points to nothing more than a fairly routine level of confusion and (at worst) minor ass covering. Now, they're desperate to somehow tie Petraeus to Benghazi because....well, why not? Benghazi is obviously a coverup, and Petraeus obviously must have known about it, and therefore (obviously) Eric Holder must have been ordered to dig up some dirt that would keep him on a tight leash. It's the murder of Vince Foster all over again.
When do the adults in the Republican Party take a stand against this insanity? Wouldn't now be a pretty good time?

Real Housewives' Countess Luann Dishes on Fergie ScandalErin Blakeley
A few days ago, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, was caught on tape trying to accept a bribe of $750,000 from an undercover journalist in exchange for access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, who is a representative for the U.K. on international trade, and fourth in line for the crown. Of course, because she's an expert on all things royal, who would have a few thoughts to share on the Fergie scandal? Why, The Real Housewives of New York City's Countess Luann de Lesseps, of course!
I mean, how could a fake royal pass up a chance to comment on a scandal involving an ex-royal, and a guy who, let's face it, is never going to be king?
The poor Countess. In all fairness, she's probably just thrilled to talk about anything other than Bethenny Frankel's new baby or that crazy Kelly Bensimon. After all, such subjects are beneath her station in life. But Fergie! Now that's right up her alley.
Largely, de Lesseps' comments are of the sideline spectator variety: she speculates about Fergie being desperate for money, expresses shock that she failed to ask for the journalist's credentials before accepting the bribe, and bets that Fergie's reputation is going to be damaged as a result of this. (Well, duh.) But of course, de Lesseps, who has a flair for the dramatic, immediatly wondered about Prince Andrew's involvement: "I wonder if the prince knew nothing about this…I mean, they have children together. I find it hard to believe he knew nothing about it."
She also thinks that the whole thing will end once Fergie "apologizes for the pain she's caused", which I found a little confusing. What pain? I mean obviously, it was wrong to accept a bribe, and she and Andrew and her daughters are probably all a little embarrassed, but who is actually in pain as a result? The Royal family? The English people? Countesses everywhere?

Driehaus Files Complaint to Stop Ad on Abortion-Funding
3:59 PM, Oct 7, 2010 • By JOHN MCCORMACK
Democratic representative Steve Driehaus has filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission against the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List to stop the group from putting up four billboards claiming that Driehaus voted for taxpayer-funding of abortion (see the ad here).
"The information is factually untrue and this is just another attempt by Steve Chabot's supporters to spread false information," Driehaus said Thursday, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. "The Susan B. Anthony List is doing everything they can to attack pro-life Democrats, not because of what we achieved in the health care bill but because they're partisan."
"Meanwhile, it looks like the billboards will not be put up until the matter is settled," the Enquirer reports. "The Ohio Elections Commission has set a hearing on the complaint for Thursday, Oct. 14 in Columbus."
Driehaus was a member of Bart Stupak's coalition of self-proclaimed pro-life Democrats who said they would not vote for the health care bill last March because it allowed taxpayer-funding of abortion. Stupak and others ended up voting for the bill in the end, claiming that the president's executive order would block taxpayer-funding of abortion.
Some critics have pointed out that the executive order could be revoked by a future president or overturned by a judge in court, since an executive order cannot countermand law. But the real problem with the executive order is that it didn't even purport to countermand the main abortion-funding mechanism in Obamacare. The order reaffirms the language on abortion in the Senate bill to which the Stupak Democrats objected.
As Democratic congressman Dan Lipinski, the lone member of Stupak's group to vote against Obamacare in March, said in July: "the executive order probably would not stand [in court] and even if it did stand, it only covered part of the abortion funding—the direct funding of abortion [at Community Health Centers], not the fees for [subsidized] health plans." Perhaps Lipinski should be called as a witness at the October 14 Ohio Elections Commission hearing.
The SBA List's president Marjorie Dannenfeslser makes the same point Lipinski did in a statement today:

You may have had other issues with your existing cabling. Certain miswirings will allow for slower mbps speeds.
It is true that Cat5 cable is capable of supporting 1000mbps in certain circumstances. I have this in my own home network. When I first began wiring my home 10 years ago, Cat5 was the standard. As I have upgraded Macs and Switches, my connections have automatically taken advantage of Gigabit speed.
I'm expecting that with my short cable runs it may be possible to reach 10gbps once I have a Mac and Switch capable of those speeds.
The thing is, the number of conductors and the fact that they are arranged in twisted pairs hasn't changed since Cat5 at least. So the speed is something the networking hardware negotiates upon establishing link using only the electrical characteristics the networking hardware can quantify. If both ends determine they can send and receive a certain speed over a given connection, they will settle on that speed regardless of the cable's rating.
It is even possible that a wiring fault or poor quality installation could reduce a Cat6 cable to 100mbps or 1000mbps on a 10gbps hardware network.
What's weird is I had a NetGear 1Gb Hub with cable sense. I had the 5 cables connected that my bro did for me and the Hub was negotiating them at the 100 BaseT (I didn't know at the time), the lights were saying they were 100 BaseT. Then I went and had to buy 1 additional cable and I plugged it in and the light changed, at the time I didn't even know the Hub had different color lighting to sense the cable bandwidth. I said why is this a different color from the other ports. Then I said Mother Effer, those cables my bro got weren't Cat6, and the new one I got was Cat6, and the Hub lights were sensing the difference. So I ordered from Monoprice all new Cat6 cable, and all the lights lit up signifying 1Gb. The only thing I can think of is my Brother must have gotten me Cat4... No he got me Cat5, I think you are thinking Cat5e which supports 1Gb...
Here is a chart I found:

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - The University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Department of Athletics kicked off the 2006-07 men and women's basketball season in fine fashion on Oct. 13 with the annual Midnight Madness celebration.
Magic 98.9 was on hand, broadcasting live with Bill Baker "The Rumpshaker" hosting the live remote. D.J. Blade from Force One Productions was also on hand to keep the party atmosphere going. The event also featured performances from the UMES Cheerleaders, The Diamonds Dance Team, and several other UMES Student organizations.
The night had the semi-finals and finals of the three-point shootout and slam-dunk contests that began two week ago. The Department of Athletics also planned a special treat in the form of a faculty/staff/alumni basketball game.
At approximately 9:00 pm, the women's basketball team was introduced and played an inter-squad scrimmage game for their first official practice. One hour later the men took the floor for their first practice, also playing an inter-squad game.

During the NAACP scholarship fundraiser, Fremont City Schools received the Kuumba Award.
Kuumba is one of the principles of Kwanzaa and strives for people to make their community a better place. Each year, the award is presented to a local business or organization that has supported the NAACP.
The following students in Fremont City Schools won the NAACPs annual Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Contest, and most gave speeches during the fundraiser Saturday night.
Mike Lather, 11, Croghan Elementary School.
Rozalyn Payton, 9, Hayes Elementary School.

FREMONT — When Almar Walter was visiting New York four years go, he decided to take a trip to Coney Islands boardwalk.
Dressed in a polo shirt and carrying a backpack with his camera inside, Walter got off the subway and headed out to do some sight-seeing in the popular Brooklyn area.
Five minutes into my leisurely stroll, Im being followed, Walter said.
Then police officers stopped him and made him turn over his backpack. Walter, who is black, was one of the many minorities who has been stopped as part of the citys stop-and-frisk policy that allows officers to stop and search people deemed suspicious.
Youre being stopped because you look like youre causing problems, Walter remembers an officer saying. Little kids are afraid of me. Walking by, their parents are clenching them.
After explaining the camera in his backpack was his and that he was a professional just visiting town, Walter was allowed to leave. He headed straight to the subway, and along the way, he said an unmarked police car followed him.
I went back to Manhattan, which is where I probably should have stayed, he said.
The experience was beyond unsettling and sparked Walters outrage. He is the director of intercultural student services at the University of Findlay and is close to completing his second masters degree.
Its part of a reality that minorities have to deal with all the time, he said. When it impacts you or someone you know, it ignites passion.
Walter shared this experience during his keynote address at the Fremont chapter of the NAACPs annual scholarship fundraiser Saturday night at the VFW.
He focused on changing demographics in the United States and their implications and what people can do to help youth and the country have a better future.
As students in Fremont City Schools who won the NAACPs Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Contest said during their speeches at the event, issues King fought to change still exist, Walter said.
By 2040, minorities in the United States will actually be the majority, he said, citing Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.
In six years, 45 percent of public high school graduates will be non-white, he said. Thats a growing number of minorities in the pool for college admissions.
Yes, truly were amongst changing times, he said. What is your role in this shift? How are you going to play your part?
Another shift in this country is the move from personal communication to digital communication such as texting, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat, among other social media platforms.
At University of Findlay, the school has found sending a mass text about a job fair is one of the most effective ways to get students there. They tend to not open their emails, he said.
Lengthy conversations on landlines have shifted to instant messages, he said. More and more, my interactions, your interactions, our interactions have become less human in nature and more digitized and computerized.
Weve created what we call social isolation.
In 2012, one in six married couples met online, he said. Facebook and other social media allow people to decide to give someone access to their personal information, whether they know that person or not.
Like it or not, these mediums have a greater influence on our youth than people in this room, Walter said.
He talked about why Martin Luther King Jr. was so effective and how he might motivate the group who attended the fundraiser.
The people who stood by Dr. Martin Luther King made him effective, Walter said.
They made Kings message meaningful. King and leaders like him were figureheads who helped create change, who spurred people to action, Walter said.
We have to take ownership of our youth, Walter said. We have to volunteer our time. When was the last time you went to a student in need and said How can I assist you in your journey?
Continue to think a little bit further, beyond tonight. How do we create a better space and a better place for their futures?
The event, which included dinner and music by Curtis Jr. and the Midnight Rockers, was the NAACPs 12th annual fundraiser. Over the years, the event has raised more than $51,000 for scholarships benefiting students in the Fremont City School District, said Dallas Leake, NAACP chapter president.
WSOS sponsors the event. The agency is a private, nonprofit agency that provides aid including foreclosure prevention, home-improvement funding and job training to residents of Sandusky, Ottawa, Wood and Seneca counties.
WSOS motto is to help people help themselves, said Joyce Huntley, NAACP chapter vice president.
What better way for us to do that than support a scholarship fund for young people, Huntley said.

Holland police officers and Ottawa County deputies are facing a similar challenge in fighting gang violence.
Holland police officers and Ottawa County deputies are facing a similar challenge in fighting gang-related violence.
No one who can help wants to talk.
In Holland, a street fight among teens led to the arrests of two juveniles and one adult, but it didn't stop the noise, threats or tension on the 100 block of West 14th Street, Wednesday.
Two groups of teens hurled insults, slurs and threats at one another just after police left the scene.
"Meet me on 15th Street! Meet me on 15th Street!" shouted one boy as he and others passed by, some on bikes and some on foot. His target, a handful of boys in their early teens, loosely lined up along the West 14th Street sidewalk holding their weapons, ready for a fight. One clutched a sledge hammer, another stood with what appeared to be a broom handle across his shoulders, his outstretched arms and wrists draped over the bar. Some of the boys had gardening tools.
Had police witnessed the incident, they could have taken some of the boys into custody under Holland's ordinance on disorderly behavior.
Here's where police get stymied: Under most ordinances, including Holland's, police can't arrest people for disturbing the peace unless a resident signs a formal complaint.
Witnesses and victims often refuse to help police in this way, fearing reprisals from the culprits, just as they did Wednesday night after a fight on West 14th Street and on Thursday after a non-fatal stabbing incident on the 300 block of West 22nd Street. Even the stabbing victim refused to help police.
"I understand the apprehension, especially when you have to live in the neighborhood," Holland police Capt. Bob Buursma said, adding that officers will do what they can to stop problems without a resident signing a formal complaint "but sometimes it's unavoidable."
Neighbors on West 14th Street said they heard shouts and sounds of fighting Wednesday. Some watched from windows; others stood outside, watering neatly manicured lawns and flower beds.
None of them were willing to be named, either for this story or in police complaints. They worried about gangs punishing them for speaking up.
Police officers typically shy away from getting specific about gangs — they don't want to promote the groups or suggest one has a more important status than another.
The 2011 FBI national gang threat assessment notes that, despite a constant evolution in names, affections and size, "neighborhood-based gangs continue to pose the greatest threat in most jurisdictions nationwide."
Gang members are responsible for higher rates of vandalism, threats, intimidation, larceny, theft, burglary, robbery and assault, according to the FBI report. Neighborhood gangs also commonly deal in drugs, according to the FBI report.
Ottawa County sheriff's Lt. Mark Bennett said gangs account for everything from petty crime to felonies. He said some gangs are simply a disorganized group of troublemakers; others, like the Vatos Locos or the TRGs (Tiny Rascal Gang) grew out of ethnic or racial ties. Rules about age, sex, ethnicity and race have changed in recent years, both Bennett and Buursma said.
Page 2 of 2 - Girls, once viewed as bystanders, are now joining gangs, Buursma said.
Bennett said the once-traditional symbols and dress code for gang members has also shifted, because gang members "know they are easily identified by law enforcement and the general public."
Instead, he said, police enforcement focuses on behaviors of individuals, which often begins as petty crime, including painting graffiti on other people's property.
Police discovered around two dozen homes and buildings tagged with graffiti Monday morning, mostly on 15th 16th and 17th streets near Washington Avenue. Police are still looking for the perpetrators.
Police can limit that and worse activity if residents alert them to disorderly behavior, which is "the root of a lot of complaints," Buursma said.
Residents can organize to make changes, Bennett and Buursma said. Police can work with neighborhood associations and other entities to educate residents and target patrols.
A simple first step — getting to know the neighbors — is a good start.
"We don't tend to be as open with our neighbors as we did 10, 20, 30 years ago, when everybody knew everybody," Bennett said.
Taking action means "taking ownership and taking stock in your neighborhood," Bennett said. "I think the criminal element ultimately sees that and they tend to move on."
He said without the help of the public, many crimes would never be solved.
Being willing to speak up is tough, Bennett said, "and I don't want to sugarcoat it. It is difficult, but ... 'It takes a community?' That's not a cliché. That's the truth."
In addition to creating neighborhood associations and filing police reports when incidents happen, people can share tips anonymously by calling or emailing Silent Observer at (877) 887-4536 or visit mosotips.com. Silent Observer pays cash rewards for tips leading to arrests and convictions.

Gov. Robert Bentley advocated both a 2 percent teacher pay raise and state funding of teacher health insurance.
- Filed Under
With the 2015 education budget on his desk, Gov. Robert Bentley faces a tricky dilemma.
Bentley pushed hard for a 2 percent pay raise for teachers and adequate funding for the Public Education Employees Health Insurance Program (PEEHIP) during the 2014 regular session, which ended Thursday. The Legislature gave him the PEEHIP funding but denied the teacher pay raise, despite a last-minute push from Bentley.
The Education Trust Fund budget now awaits his approval. ...

|A prospective randomized longitudinal study involving 6 months of endurance or resistance exercise. Conduit artery adaptation in humans.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23247114 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Abstract This randomized trial evaluated the impact of different exercise training modalities on the function and size of conduit arteries in healthy volunteers. Young (27 ± 5 years) healthy male subjects were randomized to undertake 6 months of either endurance training (ET; n = 10) or resistance training (RT; n = 13). High-resolution ultrasound was used to determine brachial, femoral and carotid artery diameter and wall thickness (IMT) and femoral and brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and glyceryl trinitrate (GTN)-mediated dilatation. Improvements in peak oxygen uptake occurred with ET (from 3.6 ± 0.7 to 3.8 ± 0.6 l min(-1), P = 0.024) but not RT. Upper body muscular strength increased following RT (from 57.8 ± 17.7 to 69.0 ± 19.5 kg, P < 0.001), but not ET. Both groups exhibited increases in lean body mass (ET, 1.4 ± 1.8 kg and RT, 2.3 ± 1.3 kg, P < 0.05). Resistance training increased brachial artery resting diameter (from 3.8 ± 0.5 to 4.1 ± 0.4 mm, P < 0.05), peak FMD diameter (+0.2 ± 0.2 mm, P < 0.05) and GTN-mediated diameter (+0.3 ± 0.3 mm, P < 0.01), as well as brachial FMD (from 5.1 ± 2.2 to 7.0 ± 3.9%, P < 0.05). No improvements in any brachial parameters were observed following ET. Conversely, ET increased femoral artery resting diameter (from 6.2 ± 0.7 to 6.4 ± 0.6 mm, P < 0.05), peak FMD diameter (+0.4 ± 0.4 mm, P < 0.05) and GTN-induced diameter (+0.3 ± 0.3 mm, P < 0.05), as well as femoral FMD-to-GTN ratio (from 0.6 ± 0.3 to 1.1 ± 0.8, P < 0.05). Resistance training did not induce changes in femoral artery parameters. Carotid artery IMT decreased in response to both forms of training. These findings indicate that 6 months of supervised exercise training induced changes in brachial and femoral artery size and function and decreased carotid artery IMT. These impacts of both RT and ET would be expected to translate to decreased cardiovascular risk.

Sniper Elite V2
this wiki
Sniper Elite V2 is a 2012 tactical shooter video game developed by Rebellion Developments for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is a remake of Rebellion's 2005 game Sniper Elite. The game takes place in the same timeframe and location—the Battle of Berlin in April-May 1945—but now the main character, an American Office of Strategic Services officer, must capture or eliminate the scientists involved in the German V-2 rocket program.
PlotEditThe main character is Karl Fairburne, an OSS officer who is inserted into Berlin in 1945, during the final days of World War II. It references Operation Paperclip and its predecessor Operation Overcast, the plan by the USA to recruit the scientists of Nazi Germany. Fairburne comes up against both Nazi and Soviet opponents as he tracks key individuals involved with the development of the V-2 ballistic missile.
The campaign begins with a tutorial mission, where the player must assassinate German Major-General Hans von Eisenberg who is attempting to defect to the Soviets. The next mission is a slightly altered version of the demo, where the player is sent to capture Dr. Gunther Kreidl, a Nazi scientist, and escape with his documents. Next, Fairburne infiltrates a V-2 rocket production facility in search of another scientist, Dr. Schwaiger, who is willing to defect to the United States, but Fairburne is discovered and must fight his way out of the facility. Fairburne decides to steal a cache of explosives and destroy a bridge to distract the Soviets and Germans while he slips behind them and rescues Schwaiger. The plan works and Fairburne heads off to a place called Opernplatz, where he finds Schwaiger and is forced to hold off waves of Soviet troops who have discovered their position. Schwaiger is shot in the process, and before he dies, he says "tabun". Fairburne, clueless, goes to find Dr. Müller, whom he assassinates from his command tower. With no location of V-2 launching site, he goes to a Soviet HQ, where he finds that tabun is a nerve gas carried by the V-2 rockets that are about to launch on London. With only information that location is somewhere outside Berlin, Fairburne goes to the Berlin office of Dr. Wolff, the mastermind behind the project, to find more information. The office has been already destroyed, but Fairburne finds a ripped notebook and establishes that Wolff is about to escape from an airfield. Fairburne arrives at another building just in time to retrieve from a fireplace a map detailing V-2 storage facilities. He sets out to destroy the rockets. With only Wolff left, Fairburne goes back to the Brandenburg Gate, where he had assassinated von Eisenberg few days earlier. Fairburne climbs on top of the structure and, as Wolff is about to escape in a car, he shoots, causing the car to run off the road and crash, killing Wolff instantly. Fairburne remarks that WWII is over but the Cold War has just begun, in which he has acted as the first American combatant.
Sniper Elite V2 is a third-person shooter that stresses employing stealth, rather than using brute force. Fairburne uses several WWII-era weapons, including sniper rifles, a silenced Welrod pistol, sub-machine guns and German and Soviet hand grenades (which can be also used to make tripwire booby traps). One of the main features of the title is the realistic ballistics, involving factors such as bullet drop, wind strength, and the effect of holding one's breath when attempting a shot. Sniping gameplay is from a first person scope view, whereas movement and use of all other weapons is in third person view.A major difference from the original Sniper Elite is the introduction of a controversial 'X-Ray Kill Cam', which activates when the player makes a particularly extreme shot. The view then follows the path of the bullet in slow motion before slowing further as it reaches its target, whereupon the target's body is rendered as an anatomical cutaway to show the bullet's passage through the body and the damage it causes to organs and bones. Other new elements include being able to mark enemy fighters to highlight their position along with target information, and a white-outlined figure which marks the point where enemy soldiers last spotted the player so that players can make their escape.

I was discussing the VIX signal (from Wednesday), and teased out a better explanation for why the VIX is so low:
Its the Cub's fault; That's right, the NCLS series between the Cubs and the Marlins ran late, so the CBOE option traders are simply whipped. Not only are they physically tired from watching the series, talking about the games, and worrying whether the curse lives, they are emotionally exhausted from the outcome . . .
So now you know the REAL reason why the VIX is under 18 — blame it on the Curse.
