Best Student Paper Award
The Center for Middle East Studies has established a Best Student Paper Award to recognize, celebrate and encourage the accomplishments of students at the University of Denver who have written an outstanding paper or thesis in the area of Middle East studies. The 2014-2015 recipient of the CMES Best Student Paper Award is David Lunde, who graduated with honors in June 2015 with a double major in International Studies and French. His thesis, Constitutions and Democratic Consolidation: Comparing Egypt and Tunisia, was written for departmental distinction in international studies. It is an incisive and highly illuminating examination of a key dimension of the Arab Spring, a comparative study of the democratic transitions in Tunisia and Egypt with a focus on the constitution-writing processes in the two countries. David wildly exceeded expectations for a B.A. honors thesis. He has written an outstanding, first-rate piece of work that deserves special recognition and distinction. We are happy to congratulate David on his exceptional work, and to feature his paper here.
CMES occasional Paper published
The Holocaust & the Arab-Israeli War of Narratives:
Critical Dialogues with Gilbert Achcar
CMES is proud to present the third in our series of Occasional Papers: "The Holocaust and the Arab-Israeli War of Narratives—Critical Dialogues with Gilbert Achcar." In May we hosted Achcar, Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at SOAS, the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies, for two robust days of lectures and conversations, including a spirited panel discussion on his acclaimed book
The Arabs and the Holocaust: The Arab-Israeli War of Narratives
. His interlocutors were Ira Chernus, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Adam Rovner, Associate Professor of English and Jewish Literature at the University of Denver. CMES Director Nader Hashemi also sat Professor Achcar down for an interview while he was here.
This Occasional Paper is the fruit of these critical engagements with Professor Achcar, whom the French newspaper Le Monde called "one of the best analysts of the contemporary Arab world." Access the PDF by clicking here or on the cover image above.

text: Posted March 19, 2013 That's easy to say when you aren't running the cooperation. You make hammers. Every hammer costs 5 dollars to make while the wage is 10$ per hour. 3 of those 5 dollars are wage costs. You sell the hammer for 10$ making 5 Government doubles min wage to 20$ per hour. Now your cost of hammers is 8$ and you are only making 2$ per hammer. You have lost over half of your profit. Do you shrug your shoulders and say, welp thats tough on me, I will just deal. Or do you sell your hammer for 13$ and keep making that 5$ per? I would contract with the Government and sell the hammers for 100$ each, but I'm a dick like that. See you are taking a snapshot. What if the cost to produce a hammer decreased hypothetically by a dollar every year because I could make them faster or cheaper. If it cost $5 lat year and it cost $4 this year....what are you Johnny Hammer Corp going to do with that extra $1 in profit? And there's my rub. The hammersmith doesn't deserve the whole portion but the 10% increase but they do deserve some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kim Kardashian in Designer Jeans
Kim Kardashian in Current/Elliott
Kim Kardashian was spotted making her way to do some press for her new show Kourtney and Kim Take New York in Los Angeles, California and later to her second home, the nail salon. She was wearing a pair of Current/Elliott jeans that we haven't spotted on anyone yet, the Pull-up Leggings in Jet Black. We usually spot the regular leggings by Current/Elliott, but not these. What are your thoughts on them? I prefer the ones with pockets, personally.
Current/Elliott have also come out with a pair of pull-up flares as well. Those sort of remind me of the yoga pants that many women wear, but in denim. I think both the pocket-less styles work in black though. I think in other colors it can look quite awkward. You can click here to purchase these jeans at RevolveClothing for $71.
Kim Kardashian in Work Custom Motorcycle Jeans
Kim Kardashian looked to be in a hurry as she made her way past the paparazzi to an appointment, she didn't even dry her hair. The Kardashians have been under a lot of controversy lately and most recently have been slapped with a $75 MILLION dollar law suit. A photographer is suing the family.
Kim kept her outfit surprisingly simple (for her!) with a simple tee shirt, jacket and a pair of black Work Custom motorcycle skinny jeans. She's worn a number of different pairs before and particularly seems to be a fan of Vintage1. I think I prefer this pair, I like that the black is subtle enough but still trendy!
Favorite Celeb Outfit: 2010 Female Final Vote!
Okay so I admit it, again I was kind of shocked by some of the top choices ha ha. I guess my style radar is still a bit off! But we can't argue with our readers so here is what our DenimBlog readers 2010 Top Female Celeb Favorite Outfit choices were. We are interested to know which female celeb outfit is your favorite throughout the whole of 2010. Pick your winners from the favourite outfit images on this blog post. You are able to select up to 3 favorite outfits.
DenimBlog's Top Ten Denim Divas of 2010
First let's revisit the 2009 DenimBlog Top Ten Diva's here. We are doing the same scoring system as we did last year: counting how many blog posts each celeb had and adding how many times they wore different brands so you can compare the scores from this year to last year as well!
The 2009 list was as follows:
1) Ashley Tisdale score 62
2) Lindsay Lohan score 59
3) Jessica Alba score 49
4) Rihanna score 36
5) Vanessa Hudgens score 34
6) Jennifer Garner score 34
7) Ciara score 32
8′) Megan Fox score 31
9) Heidi Montag score 30
10) Audrina Patridge score 30
This year's list starts off at…
#10) with Ashlee Simpson score 46
Ashlee's style is so retro-ish and almost hippie sometimes. From her high-waisted jeans all the way to showing off her long gams in short-shorts, I really adore how far she has came in our denim world! I hope she broadens her denim collection with some more brands in 2011.
#9) Lindsay Lohan score 51
Lindsay's score is only slightly lower than last year's but she has dropped from #2 to #9 on our list. She was just simply not out and about shopping so much this past year, probably due to her personal issues. We hope she gets those issues sorted and that she can get back to topping our list with her great choice in denim because I certainly miss all that Balmain!
#8) Vanessa Hudgens score 54
Vanessa was #5 on our list last year and I'm sure glad she is back on our list this year. She has such a great sense of style and she wears a lot of different up and coming brands as well. She is quite simply just lovely!
#7) Hilary Duff score 56
Honestly I was surprised that Hilary even made our list at all! She was blogged 37 times wearing 19 different brands!! Hilary is certainly one to start watching in 2011.
#6) Jennifer Garner score 59
Jennifer hits #6 on our list AGAIN this year. You all know how much I adore Jen as I think she is a great mother with a casual sense of denim style. She is on the go a lot so we get to blog her more than a few other celebs; she was actually spotted in 12 different brands this year too.
#5) Kim Kardashian score 72
I'm sure most of you would have guessed Kim was going to be on this list! Kim is certainly a rising star in the celeb world and her denim choices put her as a rising star on our blog. If we went to a top 20 list, I would bet both her sisters would be on there too. I love Kim's unique style and her beautiful curvy body. I wish the paps would get some more shots of her backside in jeans though!
#4) Miley Cyrus score 76
Little Miley…well not so little anymore, she has certainly grown over the last year. She wasn't even on our list last year! Miley was blogged in 20 different brands so she has really widened her denim scope rather quickly as well. She has had some rather risque choices of outfits but it's great to see her try out some different things and learn along the way.
#3) Ashley Tisdale score 81
Last year's denim diva is still close to the top of our list, though she is #3 this year. Ashley is Lorna's favorite celeb in denim and I can see why. Ashley's style very much suits her age group and she is always one for fashion sense.
#2) Jessica Alba score 88
Jessica is my personal favorite denim diva for this year, though she is the runner-up. Jessica's great ensembles always have me clamoring for more. Jessica wore the most different brands of any of our celebs; it makes me think she doesn't do any laundry, she just buys all new clothes! I'm not complaining, I'm just jealous! Even though we have spotted Jessica in 24 different brands this year, she still is missing a few key brands that I would love to see her in. Diesel and True Religion. Maybe in 2011?
#1) Rachel Bilson score 91
Rachel was blogged 73 times in 18 different brands, so she becomes the 2010 DenimBlog Denim Diva! Rachel really has fairly simple, elegant style and she really feels like the girl next door who has great fashion sense. It's hard to believe that she never was even on our list last year but now she is #1 this year! Congrats to Rachel!

NFL.com selects Panther's best and worst historical draft picks
Cyberjag replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersNo, he was not. He was ok for a rookie in his first year, injured in his second year, and in his third year he was headed toward another ~600 yard season when he was busted. His replacement in the starting line-up, Patrick Jeffers, went on for a 1,000 yard season. Carruth caught just 53.8% of his targets, while in the same offense Muhammad caught 61.4% and Jeffers 62.1%. Rae scored only 4 career TDs, all in his rookie year, and was viewed as a bit of a disappointment in his third season when he committed the crime.
NFL.com selects Panther's best and worst historical draft picks
Cyberjag replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersI like the Cam selection, but appreciate arguments for Smitty and even Peppers. Smitty because he was a third rounder and Peppers because there was serious pressure to take a QB and we went defense instead. I think my all time top 10 selections would be something like this: Cam - 1 (1), 2011 Peppers - 1 (2), 2002 Keuchly - 1 (9), 2012 Smitty (tops in value) - 3 (74) 2001 Jordan Gross - 1 (8), 2003 Davis - 1 (14), 2005 Muhammad - 2 (43), 1996 Kalil - 2 (59), 2007 Short - 2 (44), 2013 Turner - 3 (92), 2014 My worst 10 is just depressing: Rae Carruth - 1 (27), 1997 The Sean Gilbert trade - 1 (5), 1995 and 1 (12), 1996 (and sorry Mr. Scot, his production was never that great here) Jason Peter - 1 (14), 1998 Collins - 1 (5), 1995 Rashard Anderson - 1 (23), 2000 The Everette Brown trade - 1 (17), 2010 Eric Shelton - 2 (54), 2005 Dwayne Jarrett - 2 (45), 2007 Keary Colbert - 2 (62), 2004 Jimmy Clausen - 2 (48), 2010

Football Outsiders sees rapid decline for 2016 Panthers with 9-7 record
Cyberjag replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina PanthersHell, I don't care. I may be one of the only people in this thread who would be happy to go 9-7 and win the division. I'm not expecting that, I think we win 10 or 11, but sometimes the ball doesn't always bounce your way. It took the Falcons 44 years to get back to back winning seasons. The Bucs did it in 25 and the Saints in 22. If we can do it this year it will be our 22nd year as well, and that ought to give you an idea of how hard it is to sustain success in the NFL. And winning four consecutive NFCS titles isn't going to happen again anytime soon. I want to win every game, but I'm not going to crap on the team if we don't. I'm pretty proud of where they've gotten and confident in where they're going. And I really like the way we generally make FO look like idiots, so there's that too.
It's Up to Steve Now (Mod edit... must read re: round 2&3 picks)
Cyberjag replied to SCPantherFan90's topic in Carolina PanthersThere was an article a couple of years ago about the Panthers' philosophy regarding cornerbacks. It's akin to a crap shoot for most of them because of the way college offenses are. So, they're very high on physical ability and finding someone they think can be coached up. Worked out pretty well for Benwikere, and I think that the current FO has shown enough that they get the benefit of the doubt for these latest two. Anyone who's upset about Butler is still drunk from last night.
Grade the Panthers Draft Haul Days 1 and 2.
Cyberjag replied to Kevin Greene's topic in Carolina PanthersWe have a solid roster with a couple of spots that could use improvement. Gettleman was in a position where he could swing for the fences, and he did so with all three picks. I'm in the "incomplete" crowd, but not unhappy at all.
FA | Greg Hardy
Cyberjag replied to The_Rainmaker's topic in Carolina PanthersHardy balled out in 2013, played one game in 2014, and in 2015 he was just ok for the Cowboys. It's been a while since he was the player a lot of people think he is. He started strong with the Cowboys in 2016, but basically became just another DE over the second half of the season. Hardy the person has always had character concerns around him, and has never seemed to learn from them. As a Cowboy he confronted and shoved a coach on the sidelines during a game and went all weird about Tom Brady's wife in an interview. In the locker room he missed meetings and was late to practice, and had at least four meetings with the head coach to address his conduct. If you think we can get 2013 Hardy back without all the drama and do it cheap, then I get why you would want to sign him. Personally, I think that guy is long gone and the knucklehead in him has taken over. I doubt he ever sniffs double digit sacks again, even if someone gives him a chance to. And also, I like our locker room and would prefer to not have the distraction.
We Threw Hardy Under the Bus, but We Just Drafted A Guy With the Same Red Flag
Cyberjag replied to Proudiddy's topic in Carolina PanthersAhhhh... It's always fun to get up on a Saturday morning, grab my first cup of coffee, and go read a drunken argument on the Huddle. :)
Think Peanut is coming back now?
Cyberjag posted a topic in Carolina PanthersWe have two young corners that need grooming, and we're not done yet. He hasn't retired, and while he's in rehab he's pretty much said that it's "nothing" and given signs he may come back for another year. Do you think it's in the cards?

Armanti Edwards....
Cyberjag replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersMy reaction was curiosity, because I figured it would be news about him. I bear him no ill will it all, and I don't understand those that do. Was he supposed to say, "No! Don't draft me!"?
Atlanta may have gotten the short end of the stick with Dan Quinn
Cyberjag replied to Hammerin'Cameron34's topic in Carolina PanthersIt doesn't matter how good or bad Quinn is. As long as Dimitroff is calling the shots on draft-day, the Falcons aren't going to be a threat.
Plain vs Peanut M&Ms
Cyberjag replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersPeanut M&Ms are far more substantial, and a much better snack. If you do regular M&Ms, you may as well get a hershey's bar and skip the candy shell. Dark chocolate peanut M&Ms are health food, and should be a part of every diet.

The gift card text message scam is back with a vengeance this holiday shopping season. Shoppers across the country are reporting receiving spam text messages, called smishing, saying they won a pricey gift card.
How the Scam Works:
You receive a text message. When you open it, you are surprised by a message informing you that you've won a Best Buy gift card (or Target, Wal-Mart or other major retailer). You just need to go to a website and enter a PIN, and the card is yours.
The text's URL leads to a website that has the company's colors and logo. It looks authentic with the company's name as the site's sub-domain (example: www.bestbuy.scamwebsite.com).
You are asked to enter the PIN and an email address. Then, you are taken to a form and instructed to fill out your name, cell number, mailing address and answer unrelated personal questions, such as "Are you interested in going back to school?" and "Are you diabetic?" When you reach the page to "claim your gift card," you instead find yourself directed to another site to apply for a credit card.
The texts are just a way to collect personal information for shady advertisers. Scammers often change the store names and cash amounts of the gift cards. A typical text message is below:
"Black Friday Winner #88323! You have WON the Best Buy Gift Card for $1000! Get your prize at WEBSITE now! Use the code 5417."
What Can I Do About Scam Text Messages:
- Ignore instructions to text "STOP" or "NO" to prevent future texts. This is a common ploy by scammers to confirm they have a real, active phone number.
- Forward the texts to 7726 (SPAM on most keypads). This will alert your cellphone carrier to block future texts from those numbers.
- If you think your text message is real, be sure it's directing to a web address like Bestbuy.com or Target.com, not www.bestbuy.otherwebsite.com
- And as always, if you think getting a free $1,000 gift card seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Skip to comments.Report: Tuskegee Airmen lost 25 bombers
Posted on 04/01/2007 11:40:19 AM PDT by EveningStar
At least 25 bombers being escorted by the Tuskegee Airmen over Europe during World War II were shot down by enemy aircraft, according to a new Air Force report.
The report contradicts the legend that the famed black aviators never lost a plane to fire from enemy aircraft...
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Misc ping list
Probably there were many pilots that did not fly those missions where a bomber was lost and did not lose bombers on their own missions and the story started that way.
Still a damn good record.
They were fighting way more than just the Nazis. American heroes, each and every one.
This report reflects poorly on writers of the last 60 years rather than on the the airmen themselves.
Good Grief...
Let's continue to rewrite history.
I bet they were all gay too -
I always found this hard to believe. Although it was my understanding that by the time they entered the ETO, most of the Luftwaffe was already decimated and barely able to offer any resistance. The questions is, what took out those 20 bombers?
I agree. They were still heroes.
"But historian William Holton said the discovery of lost bombers doesn't tarnish the unit's record."
No, but it certainly tarnishes the members of this unit WHO KNEW THE TRUTH and allowed the false accolades to continue for all these years.
That is not so suprising. My father was a bomber crewmember both in the ETO and PTO. His opinion was that no matter how good the escort pilots were and the Tuskegee pilots were good there were always going to be losses. There would either be a lot more enemy fighters than the escorts could handle and some of those would hit a mark or the ground flak which was heavy on the way to and over high-value targets would take a few.
Even with the new information they were an outstanding unit with great pilots.
Not in the greater scheme of things. At the time, had any deaths been reported with these men held responsible, there was enough pressure at the time to end the Tuskegee program, and keep Blacks from becoming military pilots.
There was actually a time in History, when the media cooperated with the Military to achieve its goals.
The only problem I have with it, is that nobody in their right mind would believe such a record anyway, but it is still quoted as fact whenever the Airmen are mentioned. Time to put it to bed, but with understanding of why the myth was created. Black pilots might even have been lynched in the states for allowing a White airman to die in combat.
Doesn't make a bit of difference. I love to hear these guys talk. They are true heroes and gentlemen. They are classy as can be.
My father was an ex-Marine that worshiped at the shrine of Pappy Boyington and even he would admit that a lot of the claims regarding Ole Pap were dubious at best including his kills. There was considerable controversy regarding how many kills Pappy had with the Flying Tigers. First the official Tigers account and Pappy's account never added up, and second regarding if AVG kills should have been added to his Marine kills.
Regardless, Boyington was obviously one of the best Americans in the air during WWII.
Frankly I never believed that the Tuskegee airmen never lost a bomber they were escorting to enemy aircraft. The chances of that happening, considering the number of missions they participated in leaves anyone that has studied, or read up on WWII history skeptical. War stories have a way of getting embellished as time goes on ...
"Even with the new information they were an outstanding unit with great pilots."
The tragedy is that they weren't used sooner in the war. They were extremely well-trained abd would have given the Luftwaffe a tough time when our bomber crews really needed them.
And it was silly to think otherwise. No fighter pilots can 100% protect bombers, any more than a condom can guarantee against pregnancy. It doesn't diminish what they did accomplish.
Please re-read the article, a little closer this time.
That's true ... but many that knew him thaught he was a first class assh***.
"I love to hear these guys talk. They are true heroes and gentlemen. They are classy as can be."
They are also role models for black teens in the inner cities and elsewhere. It's a damn shame that people like Jesse Jackson and Barry Bonds are considered role models.
I met one of these guys (forgive me for not remembering his name)at a mall book signing. I felt honored to speak with him and he spoke with me just like my granfather would have. A true gentlemen, I need to get that book out of a box back out on my shelf and re read it(recently moved).
Related Topic on the PC media. Pat Tillman's death and coverup until after his funeral - compare and contrast. So they knew that 25 bombers were shot down but now the news breaks AFTER the Gold Medal Ceremony. Hmm kettle meet Mr. Black.
sadly I think it does tarnish the image because obviously this was not a one person mistake. These men were complicit in a "symbolism over substance" pr stunt. The lie is the stunt.
They need to come clean fast, say mea culpa and now publish the record better. How many books are now wrong?
How many black history month propaganda films are now wrong but are NEVER going to be corrected in order to protect image over substance? Answer NONE.
They still are to be admired but just not for the lie.
That is true. It is true because like most of us on many occasions he was an assh***.
White squadrons lost plenty of bombers. 60,000 Americans died in the air war over Germany.
Comparisons of this sort are invidious, gratuitous and serve no purpose but to stir up animosities.
There is a difference in rewriting history and correcting it.
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty:
Major Bruce P. Crandall distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism as a Flight Commander in the Republic of Vietnam, while serving with Company A, 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). On 14 November 1965, his flight of sixteen helicopters was lifting troops for a search and destroy mission from Plei Me, Vietnam, to Landing Zone X-Ray in the la Drang Valley. On the fourth troop lift, the airlift began to take enemy fire, and by the time the aircraft had refueled and returned for the next troop lift, the enemy had Landing Zone X-Ray targeted. As Major Crandall and the first eight helicopters landed to discharge troops on his fifth troop lift, his unarmed helicopter came under such intense enemy fire that the ground commander ordered the second flight of eight aircraft to abort their mission. As Major Crandall flew back to Plei Me, his base of operations, he determined that the ground commander of the besieged infantry batallion desperately needed more ammunition. Major Crandall then decided to adjust his base of operations to Artillery Firebase Falcon in order to shorten the flight distance to deliver ammunition and evacuate wounded soldiers. While medical evacuation was not his mission, he immediately sought volunteers and with complete disregard for his own personal safety, led the two aircraft to Landing Zone X-Ray. Despite the fact that the landing zone was still under relentless enemy fire, Major Crandall landed and proceeded to supervise the loading of seriously wounded soldiers aboard his aircraft. Major Crandall's voluntary decision to land under the most extreme fire instilled in the other pilots the will and spirit to continue to land their own aircraft, and in the ground forces the realization that they would be resupplied and that friendly wounded would be promptly evacuated. This greatly enhanced morale and the will to fight at a critical time. After his first medical evacuation, Major Crandall continued to fly into and out of the landing zone throughout the day and into the evening. That day he completed a total of 22 flights, most under intense enemy fire, retiring from the battlefield only after all possible service had been rendered to the Infantry battalion. His actions provided critical resupply of ammunition and evacuation of the wounded. Major Crandall's daring acts of bravery and courage in the face of an overwhelming and determined enemy are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
Simmer down. They were given Congressional Gold Medals.....not Congressional Medals of Honor.
Likely not, but black men were lynched for less. More likely there would simply have been a huge political push by Southern Dems to break up black combat units.
The record is probably not as clear as it would seem. Fighter escort was rarely attached to the same bomber group for the entire mission, but rather for a portion of it. When exactly a bomber was shot down, under who's protection, and by what was always a fuzzy answer. Many historians point to "official records" as if "official" is synonymous with "factual". Kill claims were often 300-400% of actual losses by both sides, and the area/time of a loss is often found to be greatly different even among the logs of the same force.
Although the claim was always hard to believe, it almost certainly was purposefully exaggerated to forward the political agenda of black equality, given the hostile attitudes against it at the time. The military was not keen on this at the time, as you seem to suggest.
The same thing was done with Free French units, which were given choice missions, and much heralded in each success.
I have had the honor to meet some of these guys. They are a real pleasure to talk to.
"The tragedy is that they weren't used sooner in the war. They were extremely well-trained abd would have given the Luftwaffe a tough time when our bomber crews really needed them."
They were used very early in the war, starting with the North Africa campaign.
A proud group who did their jobs and Contributed much. Our thanks to them.
To post an interesting story.
White squadrons lost plenty of bombers. 60,000 Americans died in the air war over Germany.
Comparisons of this sort are invidious, gratuitous and serve no purpose but to stir up animosities.
This isn't StormFront. The mods will deal with any bigots who show up on this thread.
I always doubted the claim myself.
My reasons:
1) Close escort never really deterred a determined attack.
2) Top cover frequently couldn't even observe an attacking element, particularly when there was heavy cloud cover as was typical for most of the year in the ETO. Those bomber streams could occupy a lot of airspace.
3) A lost bomber is a lost bomber, whether due to flak, engine failure, or any other cause. If a ship doesn't come home who is to say what the reason was.
To say "we never lost 1 to an enemy fighter" is like saying we never got scored upon in the 2nd quarter of a football game. It's an accomplishment of a sort.
Of course if you point out any of this reasoning, you're labeled a bigot.
Well, not to argue degree ... but Pappy got a top ranking in that category.
Boyingtons AVG claims are no longer officially credited to his overall totals. I noticed this when checking the overall 'rankings' of our air aces.
"These men were complicit in a "symbolism over substance" pr stunt. The lie is the stunt.
They need to come clean fast, say mea culpa and now publish the record better. How many books are now wrong?
How many black history month propaganda films are now wrong but are NEVER going to be corrected in order to protect image over substance? Answer NONE."
Here is another link to a rewriting of history, it is about an award winning documentary that was revealed to be simply made up.
"It took a months-long campaign by veterans of the genuine liberator units to get PBS to disavow the 1992 documentary,"Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II," which falsely credited the 761st Tank and another African-American battalion (183rd Combat Engineers) with liberating Buchenwald and Dachau, the two largest camps freed by Americans."
Our Birmingham Black Sheep alum Harry Johnson apparently thought the AVG kills were still being credited the last time I read an interview with him, which has been a while back.
There was certainly a big stink about it and probably Pappy didn't help his case out too much considering the mutual aggravation factor he had going with Marine honchos. LOL
It would have been impossible for any fighter squadron not to have lost at least one bomber to enemy fire. The men are still heroes.
"They were used very early in the war, starting with the North Africa campaign."
They were sent to Africa, but never used there. They only continued training. In fact their first combat mission was not until the Sicilian invasion of July 1943 to attack the small island of Pantelleria in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia. This is at least a year into the ETO operations, which I would not call the very early part of the war, but rather the latter half.
April fools?
Seriously, AAA isn't particularly affected by the escort.
"The questions is, what took out those 20 bombers?"
Perhaps AAA or jets.
You did nothing wrong - whatsoever - in posting this article. I always doubted the "no losses" claim and am glad to know someone sat down and actully did the research. Why some people are getting so upset about this is beyond me. The truth shouldn't be so threatening to people. No one is harmed by the truth in this case.

Kids of the 1970s and '80s might recall "bookmobiles," the mobile libraries that stopped in neighborhoods throughout the country. Now, parents of kids with asthma have new reason to celebrate seeing an RV roll into their neighborhoods: It may offer life-saving help.
Breathmobiles are showing up on the streets of California, Phoenix, Arizona, Maryland and Chicago. These mobile clinics offer diagnosis and treatment of kids with not only asthma, but allergies, too. A few see adult patients as well.
Staffed with doctors, nurses and patient care workers, the Breathmobiles can perform allergy skin and lung-capacity testing, and offer parents the chance for their child to have a physical. Oh, and did we mention it's free?
Parents do not have to pay for the initial diagnosis or treatment, including the cost of any medication. Breathmobile will bill insurance companies for patients who have health insurance. Patients without insurance, or those whose coverage does not cover the Breathmobile visit, are not billed. So kids with asthma are not turned away, regardless of their family's insurance coverage.
Currently, Breathmobiles are only in select cities, but for more information on these or other free and low-cost asthma clinics, visit the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Breathmobiles offer hope, free tests for kids with asthma

Five US citizens held with cocaine at airport
Five American citizens were early yesterday morning busted at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri with cocaine hidden in their crotches as they were preparing to board a New York-bound flight.
They will be placed before the court on Monday.
A source close to the investigation told Stabroek News that the quintet – two men and three women – had the cocaine concealed in condoms. According to the source, the discoveries were made around 5 am as they were undergoing security checks.
According to the source, the five were all subjected to random pat downs which resulted in the cocaine being found.
All five people were booked to travel on a Delta Airlines flight bound for the JFK Airport in New York.

Little Nell and the Mortgage Foreclosure is a delightful melodrama replete with broad comedy, memorable characters, and plenty of booing and hissing for the stovepipe-hat-wearing villain!
Nell Pureheart and her wise old Auntie Nora are about to lose the family homestead to unscrupulous banker Wiley Whiplash. Whiplash will forgive the mortgage under one condition: Nell must marry him!
Nell and Nora call on heroic Casey Cleandeed to save the day. Unfortunately, despite his recent law degree, he's not very bright. The play follows a side-splitting trail of intrigue and deception until the truth about the homestead is finally revealed!

I adore Little Nell and the Mortgage Foreclosure.

Thank you for trying to bring it back by giving it a facelift and jokes everyone can understand. My actors found your dialogue easy to master because it makes sense and flows.

Have you even bothered to listen to the song ? It's a very powerful song with a slightly sad meaning and is about Rwanda, Somalia etc and all the wars and troubles they have had to go through.
Are you kidding me? Of course I listened to the song. Our school did it for winter concert!!!
eric, would you post some helpful comments?
I meant Stephen not you.
John, I would actually like to thank you. Because I take this kind of things very serious since my school has done an assembly on African Heritage, and each class is supposed to choose a country to do. Our class chose Somalia, because of K'naan, who is from Somalia. I definitely agree that this is a song that we should all give respect to. This is a very powerful song.

This has become a go-to weeknight meal. The hardest part of the whole recipe is chopping up the chicken breast, and it's good for four servings. I use almond milk (I just prefer it) and I double the spices. I use a good quality full-fat cheddar on top since the rest of the dish is fairly low in calories. It's really good with whole wheat egg noodles, if you can find them.
Stovetop Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
From EatingWell: March/April 2012
We trimmed 9 grams of fat and almost 100 calories in this makeover of cheesy chicken-and-broccoli casserole. All the raw ingredients are layered in a skillet, then simmered for a quick weeknight dinner.
12 Reviews for Stovetop Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
This was a great, simple recipe that we will now throw into our routine! I substituted cream of chicken for the mayo and added some garlic herb breadcrumbs on top of the cheese before broiling and this added a bit more flavor and warms up nicely for lunch leftovers!
My family really enjoyed this and I was pleased with how easy it was to throw together for a weeknight meal. We love heavily spiced and seasoned food, but sometimes mild, creamy comfort food is just what the doctor ordered, and this recipe fills that role nicely.
I'm wondering if different brands of mayonnaise are the reason why some reviewers are finding this overly bland or strangely. We use Hellmans Light, and it was perfect, but I can imagine some other brands I've tasted (and certainly Miracle Whip) resulting in a funny taste.
I though this was really good, and my whole family enjoyed it, most importantly my 5yo and 2yo. The noodles and chicken cooked up perfectly for me. The only issue I came across was the sauce and noodles stuck to the center of the pan...tried lowering the simmer and still stuck a bit, but it didn't cause any problems with the final product. Some might finds this meal bland, and it is a little bit, but sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. Creamy comfort food, yum. Pretty healthy too. Would still be good with less cheese if you want to cut fat and calories a little bit. Will make this again.
Add a little more broth near the end as noodles were'nt quite done. Husband liked it, Son added spices thought it was bland and I loved it

Anyone who has seen Knocked Up knows that Seth Rogen and is band of slacker buddies' dream of building a website with images of Hollywood nude scenes is ruined when that they've been beaten to the punch by Mr.Skin.com.
What you may not realize is how much Mr. Skin's website benefitted from its mention in the movie. Mr.Skin.com experienced a 35% increase in new traffic during June (the month that Knocked Up hit theaters). That's a total of 2.9 million unique visitors.
Not that the site wasn't doing well already--Mr.Skin grossed $5.3 million in 2006. But it looks like tickling Judd Apatow's funnybone is beneficial in more ways than one.

When unexpected openings occur in the Washington Legislature, state law requires the political party that held the seat to decide the replacement. Typically, this is done rather rapidly, within weeks. The parties and the politicians will tell you expedience is necessary for the people to have their representation restored as soon as possible. But it's also true that each party's caucus wants the decision made expeditiously to retain that party's voting clout in the Legislature.
This is what happened Wednesday, when Clark County commissioners appointed Sharon Wylie to replace Jim Jacks, the Democratic representative from the 49th District who resigned March 25. Wylie was immediately sworn in and already is serving the people of the 49th, less than three weeks after the vacancy occurred.
Although Wylie's qualifications appear solid (she served two terms in the Oregon Legislature in the 1990s), her performance cannot be accurately assessed until after she establishes a track record in Olympia. Already, though, we know this replacement process, though not flawless, works reasonably well.
Yes, voters are left out of the initial appointment process, but state law soon brings them into a position where they can hold the appointee accountable. To keep the seat, Wylie (who emerged from the local Democratic party's vetting that included seven applicants, three finalists and interviews by county commissioners) must go before voters on Nov. 8, one year sooner than other legislators must face re-election. And she'll have to run again in 2012 in the Legislature's regular election cycle. So to minimize the time when the seat is vacant, and then bring voters into the process as soon as possible, seems adequate under the circumstances, which happen to include the element of a surprise vacancy.
The same thing happened in 2007 when Republican state Rep. Richard Curtis resigned on Oct. 31. Jaime Herrera was appointed to replace him in the 18th District less than a month later. And that evening — on Nov. 29 — Herrera was in Olympia voting as a member of the Republican caucus in the Legislature's special session. Later she married, changed her name to Jaime Herrera Beutler and now serves in Congress.
An interesting political peculiarity links Herrera Beutler and Wylie. Each was selected by a group dominated by the opposing political party. Wylie, a Democrat, was chosen by two Republican and one Democratic county commissioners. In 2007, Herrera Beutler, a Republican, was appointed by six county commissioners, five Democrats and one Republican. (The 18th District serves both Clark and Cowlitz counties, thus the six-commissioner vote).
Even in nonpartisan political positions, expedient appointments are common. In 2010, a position became open on the Vancouver City Council as Tim Leavitt was advanced by voters from councilor to mayor. Less than a month into the council's new year, on Jan. 25, Bart Hansen was appointed to the council, emerging from a field of 15 and impressing councilors during the interview process. Less than 10 months later, Hansen went before voters and won election to the council.
Like many aspects of the American political system, this replacement process is imperfect. It would be great if every politician was serving at the will of voters.
But the quick transition assures continued (or rapidly resumed) representation, and to make the appointees accountable to voters as soon as possible effectively re-establishes the principles of a representative republic.

I'm as conservative a guy as they come when it comes to clothes. Well, almost. Every once in a while, I'll go out and buy something a little off the beaten path. This is one of those occasions. I generally buy neutral-colored shoes in leather or fabric, with laces. I don't really buy slip-on shoes, and I never, ever, buy shoes in actual colors, unless you count black, brown, or... well, that's it.
So, early this week, I bought some Globe Castros in red plaid. They're dang comfy. The sole is that of a skateboard shoe, but the upper is very much like a slipper. I've tried them with blue jeans, tan slacks, and tan cords, and they seem a little odd to me when paired with each. I'm starting to think black jeans, but I don't really own any of those.
What do you think?

Daily Skin Care Regimen
If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.
Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure that the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture—a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential for dry skin. Begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF Your evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine
Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump dry and dehydrated skin.
Product Recommendations:
Key Ingredients for Dry Skin:
Hyalauronic Acid, Glycerin, Lanolin, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Oil (Of Jojoba, Olive, Apricot Seed, Avocado, Grapeseed Borage, Almond, Evening Primrose), Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Honey, Shea Butter, Argan, Baobab, Manuka Honey, Green Tea (Camilla Sinsnsis), Ceramide, Glycolic Acid, Hydrolized Wheat Protein, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Cucumber
Why Cleanse?
When you cleanse your face, you can help control the clarity, suppleness and condition of your skin. Cleansing rids your skin of excess facial oil, dust, bacteria, dirt and dead skin cells. This process helps keep the pores unclogged, improves circulation, and prepares your skin for the next step in your cleansing ritual. Quite possibly the most fundamental step in the beauty routine, cleansing is integral to maintaining a balanced complexion.
Cleansing is recommended twice per day for most skin types, once in the morning and once in the evening. Any more than that, the natural oils become stripped, while any less and your skin can become susceptible to congestion and eruptions.
How to Choose a Cleanser
Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin and is specifically formulated for the face. Dry skin types will need to use a creamy based cleanser, while oilier types will need a gel based or foaming type cleanser. Sensitive skin needs a fragrance-free formulation, most likely labeled as gentle and non-irritating.
How to Cleanse
Tie your hair back with a headband or ponytail holder. Make sure to start with clean hands. Splash your face with warm or tepid water to open up your pores. Never use too hot or too cold water. Too hot and your skin can dry out, while water that is too cold will not remove the surface oils sufficiently. You can use a washcloth, sponge, exfoliation puff, facial brush or your fingers for cleansing - It all depends on your preference.
Use approximately a dime to nickel sized amount of cleanser, follow product packaging instructions. You can apply the cleanser with your fingertips or washcloth. Depending on the cleanser type, you might want to work up a lather in your hands first.
Use gentle upward circular strokes moving around the face, paying attention to the crevices of the nose area and hair line while extending down your neck and around the ear area. Take extra care to use a gentle touch around the eyes. Do not over-scrub or scrub too hard, as your facial skin is susceptible to become easily irritated.
Once the cleansing is completed, rinse liberally with tepid water. Make sure all areas are rinsed including the neck, hairline and eye area. Cool water may be used, as it helps to close the pores. Finish by blotting your face gently with a towel using a patting technique.
Why Exfoliate?
Exfoliation is a very important yet often overlooked step in the beauty regimen. It is the key to loosen and remove a dead layer of skin cells, while speeding up the skin's process of shedding (which slows with aging or mature skin). Exfoliation also helps to stimulate the blood circulation, brighten the complexion by improving color and texture, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and prevent build-up that can lead to break outs.
Without exfoliation, skin can take on an uneven tone, looking dull, patchy or even ashy. After exfoliation, skin serums and moisturizers are able to penetrate more effectively, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate more successfully and thus leading to better beauty product results.
As a general rule, you will want to exfoliate at least once per week. You can adjust your schedule according to your needs. The texture of the exfoliant may also factor in the frequency of usage. A finer grained exfoliator might be tolerated well and could be used more often if desired. If your skin becomes irritated or flaky, reduce the frequency of exfoliating or switch to one with finer texture.
Sometimes exfoliating ingredients are added to toners or also come in the form of masks. These products provide more options to incorporate exfoliating ingredients into your regimen.
How to Choose an Exfoliator
Choose an appropriate exfoliator for your skin type. Sensitive, fine or aging skin will need a finer abrasive ingredient than other types of skin. The best way to select one is to read the label description to determine the item's abrasiveness or strength. Salt, sugar, plant fiber, nut hulls, jojoba beads, apricot seeds, kernels, oatmeal, and bamboo beads are all common ingredients used in abrasive exfoliators.
Enzymes, retinols, alpha hydroxy acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid and salycilic acid preparations are referred to as chemical exfoliators. They are typically available in varying strengths in the form of a gel or serum. They can also be used once per week, or as desired after cleansing and before moisturizing to attain the same effect. They exfoliate with less irritation, and are especially recommended if your skin is on the sensitive side.
How to Exfoliate
After cleansing and rinsing the face, apply the exfoliator to your wet face. Using your fingers or a soft cloth, scrub using gentle circular motions. You will want to avoid the delicate eye area and scrub gently on the areas bordering it like the cheek bones and temple area outside of the eyes. Rinse your face and softly pat it dry.

Yes we can!
I was in New York this past weekend for the NY Century ride. Had done 40, 84 and 80 miles on my previous years on this ride.
Had not planned to do the full century. Wanted to ride 2/3 of the 75 mile route, then take a detour to do some site seeing and take pictures. But the 75 was actually 86 miles this year and I had a riding buddy to keep me honest. Did the full 75/86 route. When I reached the finish and had rested a bit, I saw I had 88 miles on the computer and was going to end with 90 anyway. My legs still felt good, so I decided to go for it. Did two laps of Central Park to end with just over 100 miles.
"Conventional wisdom" would say I couldn't have done it. I hadn't been training on long rides (had only done a few rides over a half century this season), I was on a 20 year old heavy hybrid, with a gel-pad seat, flat bars, a stretched chain, worn cassette, and I was getting over a leg injury from a fall on the previous week's ride. But everything came together. The injury affected the muscles for squatting and going up stairs and not my cycling (actually felt better when I was cycling). I was on the bike I was used to, on the set up I'm used to. The ride was relatively flat. The standard route was longer than anticipated. I took lots of breaks and stretched while riding. The rest stops were well stocked. Most important was having a ride partner to push me.
Drank two 2.2 liter camelbacks of water, 28 oz of Powerade, and ate lots of food. After the ride I even went out to a Chinese food buffet, then slept real well that night. I was a little stiff the next morning (and stiff after the 260 mile drive home), but I feel good.
Now that I've done my first century, I don't feel any pressure to do another one. I'll do one again if I feel like it, and won't if I don't. There's a club century this upcoming weekend but I'm not sure I'll try that one (several 1000 feet of climbing in the Shennendoah Mountains). I might be up for the 75 miler.
I'm curious, who else had done a century on a hybrid.
added - I was on the bike for about 8:40 minutes with an average speed of 11.7 mph.
