'Tammy,' 'Earth to Echo' and 'Deliver Us From Evil': Review Revue
This week at the multiplex, we've got a wild road trip with a gal and her grandma ("Tammy" starring Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon), an alien invasion with a group of young friends ("Earth to Echo" starring Teo Halm, Brian "Astro" Bradley, and Reese Hartwig), and a series of inexplicable — and possibly demonic — crimes in New York City ("Deliver Us from Evil" starring Eric Bana and Olivia Munn). What do critics think?
Since her breakthrough performance in "Bridesmaids," funny-woman Melissa McCarthy has secured her spot as a leading lady of comedy. In " Tammy," which she co-wrote with her husband (and director) Ben Falcone, McCarthy plays a down-on-her-luck woman-child who wrecks her car, loses her job, and discovers her husband is cheating on her — and that's just in the first 15 minutes. With her profane, beer-swillin' grandma (Susan Sarandon) in tow, Tammy heads out on a road trip to Niagara Falls, setting the tone for the mishaps to follow by driving south instead of north in Grandma Pearl's boat-sized Caddy. "Tammy" is currently at 21% on the Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here.
Rotten: "'Tammy' is a bummer, not least because McCarthy's fans know she's better than this." — Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Rotten: "Without a strong story or well-defined character to guide her, McCarthy resorts to old tricks and repeated routines." — Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten: "The fact that it stars the extremely funny Melissa McCarthy is both its saving grace and incredibly frustrating." — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Fresh: "The playful energy between McCarthy and her completely game co-star, Susan Sarandon is more than enough to keep the movie humming along." — Aisha Harris, Slate
"Earth to Echo"
If it weren't for the tireless efforts of kids everywhere, how would aliens ever get back to their home planets? In "Earth to Echo," a group of three precocious boys — Alex (Teo Halm), Tuck (Brian "Astro" Bradley), and Munch (Reese Hartwig) — find their smartphones have gone kerflooey and investigate the source of the problem. They discover a small, adorable, owl-like robot from another planet who they nickname "Echo." Along with their classmate Emma (Ella Linnea Wahlestedt), Alex, Tuck, and Munch embark on a coming-of-age journey which is part trying to return Echo to his home planet, and part trying to save their home, a Nevada town threatened by a sinister construction company. "Earth to Echo" is currently at 54% on the Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here.
Rotten: "Some cute moments with the likable leads, but it's just too flimsy overall." — Clint O'Connor Cleveland, Plain Dealer
Rotten: "As annoying a movie as I've ever seen. Evidently the statute of limitations on movie rip-offs has elapsed, since 'E.T.' was first released in 1982." — David Kaplan, Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Rotten: "'Earth to Echo' recalls — but doesn't live up to — films like 'Super 8' and 'Stand By Me,' stories of youth, innocence and the Summer That Changed Everything." — Adam Graham, Detroit News
Fresh: "Almost anything's possible if you stick with your friends, work together and remember how to get home. A nice message, in any decade." — Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
"Deliver Us From Evil"
In "Deliver Us from Evil," the latest film from Scott Derrickson ("Sinister," "The Exorcism of Emily Rose"), Ralph Sarchie (Eric Bana), a tough-as-nails NYPD sergeant, investigates a series of creepy occurrences in the Bronx. In spite of having near-clairvoyant abilities himself, Sarchie is skeptical that the chilling events in New York City's basements and zoos might have something to do with the supernatural. Still, he joins forces with Joe Mendoza (Édgar Ramírez), an unconventional Catholic priest, who believes that the horrors of Sarchie's investigations are really the work of the devil. "Deliver Us From Evil" is currently at 33% on the Tomatometer; check out some of the reviews here.
Rotten: "If this movie doesn't leave you howling at the very idea of demonic possession, you're in dire need of an exorcist." — Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail
Rotten: "Too silly to be scary, and a bit too dull to be a midnight-movie guilty pleasure." — Andrew Barker, Variety
Rotten: "Little more than an ugly collection of tropes stolen from 'The Exorcist' and 'Seven.'" — Simon Abrams, RogerEbert.com
Fresh: "A highly intense and effective mash-up of police procedural and horror show." — Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Approach to the issue of ...
|< Irving's case on meaning
Conclusion on meaning
2.14I shall set out my findings as to the defamatory meanings borne by the passages complained of. In doing so, I will not allocate separate meanings to the individual passages selected for complaint because it is to be assumed that the reader's understanding as to what is being conveyed about Irving will be derived from his or her reading of the book as a whole including the passages to which objection is taken. I do not believe that it is necessary or desirable to set out the meanings in the order in which it may be said that they emerge in the book.
2.15Adopting the approach set out earlier, my conclusion is that the passages complained of in their context and read collectively bear the following meanings all of which are defamatory of him:
- i.
that Irving is an apologist for and partisan of Hitler, who has resorted to the distortion of evidence; the manipulation and skewing of documents; the misrepresentation of data and the application of double standards to the evidence, in order to serve his own purpose of exonerating Hitler and portraying him as sympathetic towards the Jews;
- ii.
that Irving is one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial, who has on numerous occasions denied that the Nazis embarked upon the deliberate planned extermination of Jews and has alleged that it is a Jewish deception that gas chambers were used by the Nazis at Auschwitz as a means of carrying out such extermination;
- iii.
that Irving, in denying that the Holocaust happened, has misstated evidence; misquoted sources; falsified statistics; misconstrued information and bent historical evidence so that it conforms to his neo-fascist political agenda and ideological beliefs;
- iv.
that Irving has allied himself with representatives of a variety of extremist and anti-semitic groups and individuals and on one occasion agreed to participate in a conference at which representatives of terrorist organisations were due to speak;
- v.
that Irving, in breach of an agreement which he had made and without permission, removed and transported abroad certain microfiches of Goebbels's diaries, thereby exposing them to a real risk of damage.
- vi.
that Irving is discredited as an historian.
2.16I add two comments in relation to the meanings which I have found. The first is that I do not accept the contention of Irving that the passage at p14 of the book means that he supports violent groups. But I do consider that passage to be defamatory of him in suggesting that he agreed to take part in a meeting at which representatives of such groups would be present. My second comment is that I do not accept that the reference to Irving at p213 of the book, when read in the context of the other references to him, bears the meaning that he applauds the internment of Jews in Nazi concentration camps.

Medicine Safety
When it comes to medicines, safety has many meanings and many stakeholders: Volunteers in clinical trials, researchers and technicians working in laboratories and manufacturing facilities, regulators at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), physicians prescribing medicines, and patients who rely on those therapies to lead healthier, longer lives—all have vested interests in drug safety. The safety and integrity of medicines is critical to America's biopharmaceutical industry and the patients we serve.
Developing safe and effective medicines
Ensuring the safety of a medicine begins long before it enters the marketplace and continues long after it is available to patients. Pharmaceutical companies collaborate with the FDA during every phase of drug development. The rapidly increasing pace of medical innovation requires an efficient yet thorough approval process.
The recent reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, known as PDUFA V, refocuses the program on its original intent of providing timely patient access to life-saving medicines. If implemented successfully, PDUFA V will enhance FDA's regulatory science capacity and encourage future innovation while strengthening the agency's high safety standards.
Safeguarding public health
Our industry's ongoing partnership with the FDA ensures a safe and effective drug supply for the American public. The pharmaceutical industry has long worked to prevent drug shortages in advance, and will continue to work closely with the FDA to prevent manufacturing disruptions. Manufacturers have stepped up the voluntary reporting of anticipated events that might lead to drug shortages, and according to the FDA, in 2011, this early notification helped prevent 195 shortages.
Keeping our drug supply secure
Although America's pharmaceutical supply remains the safest in the world, no country is immune to the global threat of counterfeit medicines. The most common means for counterfeit drugs to enter the United States is through purchases made on illegal online pharmacy websites operated by criminals in countries with acknowledged counterfeiting problems. The pharmaceutical industry has taken the lead in protecting the public from dangerous counterfeit medicine through initiatives like the VIPPS accreditation program.
Illegal importation of pharmaceuticals remains a serious risk to the health and safety of U.S. citizens. Contamination and improper labeling can lead to dangerous health consequences. As part of its ongoing commitment to safety, the pharmaceutical industry has taken a leading role in prescription assistance through the creation of the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA). By helping millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans afford their prescription medications, PPA reduces the likelihood patients will seek out riskier imports.
The biopharmaceutical industry has also turned to technology to protect the nation's drug supply chain. PhRMA joins many in the industry in advocating the adoption of tracing systems to keep counterfeit and illegally imported medicines from infiltrating our closed supply.
Preventing prescription drug abuse
The proper use of medicines is another critical element of patient safety. Innovative medicines can extend and enhance patient lives, but they are approved as safe only when taken as directed. Prescription drug abuse remains a problem, and reducing abuse is a high priority for PhRMA and its member companies.
Protecting our environment
Promoting the prompt and safe disposal of unused medicines is an important component to reducing drug abuse as well as protecting our environment. PhRMA is proud of our industry's work to reduce its environmental footprint. We will continue to collaborate with our partners on programs like the SMARxT Disposal Program and America's Medicine Chest Challenge to educate the public on responsible drug use and disposal.

I recently purchased some new running shoes for my first half marathon that I'm training for and I'm not sure I have the right fit, or size for that matter. After I get over 1 1/2 miles my middle toe starts to go numb and continues being numb until I'm done running. I've loosened the laces near the toes as much as I could and I have about a 1/8 inch of room above my toes, but I'm not sure if they are the wrong size or if I just need to break them in. I've only worn them twice and have only run a few miles in them each time. Any suggestions?
There are a couple things that can cause that kind of problem. Let's deal with size first. Your toes should fit comfortably in the toe box, with some room to spread out. Then you should have approximately a thumb-nail width between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. Lacing too tight could contribute to your problem. Morton's neuroma might too, but that is usually painful as well. Personally, I don't believe in "breaking in" running shoes. They should be pretty comfortable from the first wearing. If not, get something else. Take a few laps around the store or on the sidewalk outside if they'll let you. It does sound like a different size might help.
Thanks for the ideas, I'll take a second look at them and perhaps get another pair that are better fitting!
Just thought of this. Take a few steps barefoot on a hardwood or tile floor and watch how your forefoot spreads as you put weight on it. Gives you a good idea of how much room is enough to avoid cramping.
I've never run a half, but toe going numb is definitely not a good thing. Try half size bigger on that foot or different model/brand.
Hi Natalie,
I agree with the expert advice of the others and it is a good idea to rotate out shoes anyway in training to avoid placing stress on the same areas over and over again.
Also, consider your socks and take a look at compression varieties or toe split versions that would add support while increasing circulation and comfort with the correct footwear.
It is difficult to find the right combination, but the numbness should disappear once you experiment and put together the right pieces.
Congrats on your first half!
I went to the local running specialist store. Turns out I was wearing shoes that were a half size too small, after I got fitted with the right shoes, they feel so much better. I also got sole inserts, I'm not sure if they are really necessary though.

NL Cy Young Watch: Kershaw ... et al.
Clayton Kershaw, LHP, Dodgers
All set to become the first pitcher since Greg Maddux (1993-95) to lead the majors in ERA in three consecutive seasons.
Jose Fernandez, RHP, Marlins
Who needs Double- or Triple-A? Fernandez will finish the season second to Kershaw in ERA (2.19). He did throw only 172 2/3 innings, which could temper the Cy Young love.
Adam Wainwright, RHP, Cardinals
Wainwright has pitched more innings (236.1) than anyone else in baseball. He's also allowed the most hits, but he's still one of the stingiest aces around, with a measly 34 walks issued.
Jordan Zimmermann, RHP, Nationals
Leads the league with 19 wins. A two-hit, nine-strikeout shutout for his latest start certainly helps his case.
Matt Harvey, RHP, Mets
An elbow injury prematurely ended a spectacular season. Harvey will finish third in the league in ERA (2.27), second in WHIP (0.93), third in strikeout rate (9.6 K/9) and second in K/BB ratio (6.16).

Set 1:
The Sloth opener into YEM gave me high hopes, and the boys delivered, not a dull moment all set. Brilliant, one of my favorite sets I've heard from them. (And here's my personal bias, this set was like my own personal greatest hits) Simply gorgeous.
Set 2:
More of the same, save for one or two lulls. (The boys had a bit of time until they all got in sync during the Weekapaug jam, and Character Zero had an awkward beginning) However, energy was built, and sustained. This is a set begging to be heard (Especially Chalkdust -> Hydrogen, seriously, hear this!), and lived up to the expectations set 1 set.
Loving Cup. Meh.
Great show, gives us all high hopes for the latter half of the run.
Sidenote: to the asshole who stole my coat during Weekapaug, A. Why? B. I was within a foot of it, you have balls to take it so close to its owner. And C. Please redeem yourself by putting it in the lost and found. I'll get it Saturday.
Oh, and D. Fuck you, that shit was brand new.

Did you know?
At the Free State National Botanical Garden you can see more than 100 species of birdlife.
Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa, lies in the centre of the country, in the Free State province, where The Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien also happened to be born.
Bloemfontein is unique in that it is the size and heft of a large African city, yet has the feel of a small country town, with thousands of rose bushes lining its streets. The literal translation of Bloemfontein from Afrikaans is 'fountain of flowers', which gives the city its nickname, 'The City of Roses'. An annual rose festival is a popular local event.
Bloemfontein is also a city of historical significance, where museums and military buildings record its association with the Anglo-Boer War (also known as the South African War). The National Museum and Anglo-Boer War Museum are highly regarded among historians.
The South African Armour Museum displays tanks, weaponry and an original military hospital. Overlooking the city is Naval Hill, with a striking white horse marking its slopes. The horse was laid out during the Anglo-Boer War as a landmark for approaching horsemen.
Despite its dry and dusty appearance, Bloemfontein is home to the province's only botanical garden, and a tropical oasis – Orchid House. Colourful flowers also attract visitors to King's Park, where monthly art markets are a popular feature.
Other destinations include the Windmill Casino, and the zoo for outdoor picnics.
Lovers of architecture should include in their visit the only twin-spired Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa, built in 1880; the Oliewenhuis Art Gallery – a neo-Cape Dutch manor house; Freshford House Museum – a window to life in the 1890s; and the magnificent City Hall, the Supreme Court of Appeal and Fourth Raadsaal buildings.
Beyond the city, the Franklin Nature Reserve is home to endemic wildlife species. The Cheetah Experience is another must-see opportunity while in Bloemfontein.

It's Not Easy Being Green: Ford's Future in the New Age of Diminishing Fossil Fuels
A corporate strategy article by Thunderbird students By Anne Campeau, Elizabeth Clark, Jay Jacobsmuhlen, Kyle Scott and Chad Winters
The future of the automobile clearly does not favor the traditional combustible engine. Can Ford adjust and prosper in the new global green environment?
Josh Watson, a 35 year old accountant from Akron, Ohio is looking for a new car in the coming model year. Watson and his wife, Lori, are looking for a car with style and safety. But most important, Josh was to see the numbers, Watson wants to be sure he gets good mileage. Lori's priorities mirror Josh's but she also wants a car that will be environmentally friendly. The Watsons, lifelong Midwesterners, want to buy American if they can and Lori has a personal affinity for Ford, since her father worked for the company for over 25 years. They both have heard that Ford is working to minimize the environmental impacts of motor vehicles and they have been impressed with some new vehicles Ford has been offering. Having done some research on new cars, Josh and Lori visit a local Ford dealer, Park Ford in nearby Tallmadge, Ohio.

Daily planner
Here's a look at the main events Friday and early Saturday morning.
There were plenty of events, but not many of the medal variety: The women's ski cross finals in the wee hours shaped up as a Swiss affair. (There were no American participants.) Check mercurynews.com/olympics for results.
The Scandinavian side of the hockey semifinals began at 4 a.m. (live on NBCSN) and should last until 6:30. Given the quality of goaltending for both Sweden and Finland, it would be mildly surprising if the teams combined for more than three or four goals. If you're awake, tune in to get a feel for what awaits the winner of the second semi ... Additionally this morning, the men's curling gold medal match (Canada vs. Great Britain) began at 5:30.
WOMEN'S SLALOM: SHIFFRIN iN spotlight
Mikaela Shiffrin (shown), the 18-year-old sensation from Vail, Colo., competes in her signature event -- she's the reigning world champion -- against a field that's not as talented as those in the speed disciplines. (Julia Mancuso, among others, is not participating.) The first slalom run is scheduled for 4:45 a.m., with the second (medal) run at 8:15. Neither will be shown live. Like Lindsey Vonn, Shiffrin is made for prime-time.
It's here, albeit one round earlier than expected: Team USA against Team Canada in the hockey semifinals (Kessel vs. Crosby, Kane vs. Toews, Pavelski vs. Marleau). Two weeks ago, our northern neighbors were considered the team to beat, but that's no longer the case after a string of first-class performances by the Americans ... The most-anticipated event of the Sochi Games for mainstream sports fans starts at 9 a.m. and will be televised live on NBCSN. If it's half as good as the 2010 gold medal game-for-the-ages -- Canada won in overtime -- we're in for a treat.
The morning brings three finals on the short track in rapid-fire fashion beginning at 9:45. J.R. Celski leads the U.S. team in the 500 meters -- he holds the world record -- and the 5,000 meter relay. The women's 1,000 meters is also on the schedule and has two Americans in the field: Emily Scott and Jessica Smith. There won't be any live coverage: NBC needs something for prime time, after all.
prime-time lineup
Without figure skating as the anchor, NBC's lineup (8-11 p.m.) will bounce from ice to snow and back again: Watch for extensive coverage of the three short track finals, plus the women's slalom, with a heavy dose of Shiffrin's life story.
Loads of overnight action on the slopes, although it's not the traditional alpine nature. The snowboard parallel slalom, with riders racing side-by-side, features four rounds of races for both men and women, with the finals at 2 a.m. (men) and 3 a.m. (women) ... The imploding U.S. speedskating team (long track) has a final chance to temper its misery with the team pursuit events beginning at 5:50 a.m.
NBC and its family of networks will provide 1,539 hours of coverage, but the only place you can watch everything live is online. The choice events will be shown on TV only on a delayed basis as part of NBC's prepackaged prime time broadcast. The only way to have access to everything live is on your digital devices through the NBC Sports Live Extra app. It's free to download, but you'll need to be a cable or satellite subscriber in order to login. For more information, go to: http:// www.nbcolympics.com/ liveextra/help.

Man arrested
Detectives with the Eagle County Sheriff's Office arrested Ismael Lopez-Alvarez, 24, of Edwards, on charges of sexual assault on a child. The incident was reported to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office by the 4-year-old victim's parents.
The incident took place at the victim's residence after Lopez-Alvarez was invited over for dinner by the victim's family.
Lopez-Alvarez was booked into the Eagle County Jail and is currently held on a $7,500 bond. Alvarez is illegally in the United States and Immigration Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration detainer on him.
Lead foot
A deputy was parked on the side of U.S. Highway 6 in Avon on July 25 when he saw a car that was speeding.
The officer flashed his emergency lights to get the car to slow down. The car slowed for a moment and then sped back up. The deputy turned his lights back on and pursued the car.
The 28-year-old driver didn't have a license. He was arrested for driving with a revoked license and also cited for speeding.
Drunken driver blames mom
A deputy was driving on Highway 6 in Edwards when a car passed him at a high speed in a no-passing zone.
The deputy pursued the car but the driver didn't yield to the officer's emergency lights and pull over. The deputy caught up with the driver at a gas station.
The 21-year-old man was shirtless and intoxicated. He said he was rushing to help his mom, who recently had neck surgery. Details of his story conflicted and he had a hard time finding the paperwork for his car.
Officers went to the mother's house to see if she was OK. She said she was not in need of any assistance. Her son had called and told her to expect him home soon.
The man was asked to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers but he refused. He said his mom had been driving. He was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol. On the way to jail, he vomited several times in the back of the patrol car and called the female deputy "Johnny."
He was charged for DUI, reckless driving, illegal passing, failing to yield to an emergency vehicle and speeding. His driver license was also surrendered.
Illegal immigrant busted
for illegal things
Deputies stopped a car on Interstate 70 in Wolcott on July 28 for a case of suspected drunken driving.
The 22-year-old driver had trouble giving his name and the car smelled strongly of alcohol. Ice and bottle caps were in the front passenger seat and a blanket covered some items in the back.
One of the officers saw a handgun on the back seat within arm's reach of the driver. The deputy ordered the man out of the car at gun point.
The driver's handgun turned out to be an air pistol. A half-empty bottle of tequila and several beers were also in the car.
The car was not insured and was towed. The man said he was in the United States illegally and this was his third DUI. His last one was a few months ago in Carbondale.
He was jailed for DUI, driving without a license and without insurance, and driving with an open container of alcohol.
Selling 'shrooms
A Bureau of Land Management officer was patrolling State Bridge Campground on July 29 when he heard two men discussing the contents of a Crown Royal bag.
The officer approached and one of the men stuffed the bag into his pocket. The officer searched the 21-year-old man and found the bag, which contained several smaller bags of psilocybin mushrooms. The BLM officer detained the man and contacted deputies.
Deputies verified the bag contained seven separate baggies, weighing 64 grams total. They believed the hallucinogenic mushrooms were packaged for individual sales.
The man was jailed for possession of a controlled substance and intent to distribute.
An employee at a Beaver Creek hotel said his iPhone was stolen on July 14 after he left it in a public restroom by the lobby.
He said he only left it there for a minute and returned when he realized he forgot to take it with him. He tried using the Find My Phone application but it had already been deactivated.
On July 17, he received an email from the Find My Phone app. It indicated the phone was at the county landfill. He went there and searched for it with a shovel. He dug around for a while but there was too much trash to sift through.
The phone and its accessories were valued at almost $1,000.
Whose pants are these?
A deputy stopped a 21-year-old driver in Eagle after he failed to use a turn signal.
While checking the registration, the deputy realized the man had an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court on charges of introducing contraband to the jail.
The man was arrested for the warrant. The deputy searched him but missed a small pocket in the man's jeans.
While being booked, the man verified several times that he didn't have any contraband. Upon final inspection, however, a small bag of marijuana was found.
The man immediately yelled, "That's not mine!" He said he didn't know who it belonged to but it wasn't his. He wasn't sure if the pants were his, either.
He was booked for the warrant and cited for introducing contraband into the jail and possessing less than 2 ounces of marijuana.

Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded tablespoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf

Kelly Robert Simino waived his rights to a preliminary hearing on Monday and is due back in a Miller County courtroom on May 4 for arraignment in circuit court on the second-degree murder charge he faces for Brandi Mathews' death. It on that date a Miller County judge is expected to take up several motions the 43-year-old filed recently including a request for a speedy trial and a change of venue.
If Simino's motion for a speedy trial is granted, the case could be scheduled as early as this summer.
Court got off to a slow start Monday afternoon after the public defender representing Simino, Tony Manansala, failed to show until after 2 p.m. Manansala is a district defender out of Columbia, Mo., and had to drive to Tuscumbia for the court session. Once he arrived, he admitted to prosecuting attorneys he was unprepared because he just got the case file that morning, he said, and didn't have time to read it.
Manansala met with Simino behind closed doors for more than 30 minutes before telling the judge Simino agreed to waive his rights to a preliminary hearing. In the meantime, his bond will stay set at $500,000.
Simino was arrested on Jan. 6 for the felony charge of second degree murder for Mathews' death. His arrest coincided with law enforcement officials announcing that they had identified some human remains found by a dog walker in a creek bed near Eldon as Mathews'.
Mathews had been missing for more than three years when her remains were found. Investigators believe she died shortly after she was last seen in late September 2006.
Simino and Mathews were involved in an intimate relationship with documented instances of physical abuse and violence. Mathews filed five police complaints against Simino with four different police department in 2006. Three involved assault, one involved threats, and one involved burglary. Mathews sought an order of protection from Simino in Pettis County a month before she disappeared.
Simino is being held at the Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center.

Tom Redington is okay to practice law in Missouri. The state's highest court gave him the okay to do so.
Redington, the Marion County prosecutor, was officially suspended by the Missouri Supreme Court Friday, March 1 for not reporting his annual Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits. He's not alone, 427 other attorneys were suspended for the same reason. But Redington sent his information in and he's been retroactively reinstated.
"All attorneys in the state of Missouri are required to take least 15 hours of continuing education," Beth Riggert, communications counselor for the Missouri Supreme Court, said. "You're allowed to get continuing education by reporting you've read opinions online or read Missouri Lawyer's Weekly. You're required to report credits at the end of our reporting year which runs July 1 through June 30."
"I forgot to file a form showing my Continuing Legal Education hours for the last year," Redington said Monday afternoon. "I faxed it to the Missouri Bar Association this (Monday) morning, they have already written a letter — I had three-times as many hours as you really need for Continuing Legal Education — and they've already written a letter to the Supreme Court saying I should be immediately reinstated retroactively."

PIP Rates Unlikely to Change Much Despite New Law
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 9:01 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE | Florida drivers looking to save money resulting from a new law designed to crack down on no-fault auto insurance fraud may have to look hard to find any significant savings.
Any potential savings coming on the personal injury protection portion of a policy is so slight that it is likely to be offset by increases in other parts of the coverage.
The new, tougher PIP law — which actually took effect on July 1 — caps benefits at $2,500 unless a doctor, osteopathic physician, dentist or a supervised physician's assistant or advanced registered nurse practitioner determines there's an "emergency medical condition." Chiropractors cannot make that determination.
A driver's insurance company was previously required to pay up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages no matter who was at fault.

Politically I define myself as a Republican and especially during the election time I find there are so many things that people want/or believe in that make me go,huh?
There are things I cannot fathom people wanting for our country and when I hear them come out of people's mouths (mostly Obama supporters) they make me think "really, huh? how can you think such a way?"
I am not asking this as a bash session but more trying to understand why the other side thinks such a way. I am sure when you look at my Republican views you think huh?
Make are the major things that you cannot believe people support politically and make you think "really people you support that?"

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Predictions
By Nicholas Solter on Jul 16, 2007
In my previous post I listed some questions that I hope to find answered in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In this post, I'll go a step further and make some predictions about the book. I've re-read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince between writing the previous post and this one, which has led me to think slightly differently about some of the questions I asked. Without further ado, here are the predictions.
- Fawkes the Phoenix will adopt Harry. Now that Dumbledore, the previous owner of Fawkes, is dead (and yes, I believe he is truly dead and won't return like Gandalf), I think there's a good chance Harry could end up with a Phoenix as an animal companion.
- Harry will kill Voldemort after finding and destroying the four remaining horcruxes. After re-reading the ending of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, in which Dumbledore explains the prophecy, I don't think there's a chance that it could now refer to Neville.
- Harry's scar will disappear. The scar was the connection to Voldemort, so at the time of Voldemort's death it will vanish.
- Severus Snape will sacrifice himself to save Harry. After re-reading the Half-Blood Prince, I believe that Dumbledore was wrong that Snape was on his side. The fact that Dumbledore was somewhat incorrect about the Horcrux in the cave (he didn't know it had been removed already) serves to underscore his fallibility, thus lending credence to the theory that he was also wrong about Snape. That said, I think that Snape, unlike Voldemort, has the capacity to love, and truly feels guilty about Lily Potter's murder (though perhaps not James'). Therefore, he will redeem himself in the end by helping Harry.
- Draco will help Harry in some way. By the end of the Half-Blood Prince Harry feels sorry for Draco, with his previous dislike of Draco pushed out of the way by his overwhelming hatred of Snape. Although they're unlikely to become friends, I think (or maybe hope) that Draco will come to realize Voldemort's fundamental evilness and will help Harry in his quest to defeat him.
- Hagrid will die. Harry has now lost his parents, his godfather (Sirius Black), and his mentor and father-figure (Dumbledore). Hagrid's the adult remaining alive to whom Harry is closest, so following the pattern, he may lose his life in the final book.
- Percy Weasley will make up with his family. I can't believe that, when push comes to shove, a member of the Weasley family won't come through in the end.
- We'll discover that Harry is related to Godric Gryffindor. This connection would be parallel to Voldemort's descent from Salazar Slytherin. There have been hints, such as Harry's use of Godric's sword in The Chamber of Secrets, and the name, Godric's Hollow, where Harry's parents died.
- Neville will use his herbology skills to help Harry defeat Voldemort.
- Petunia will help Harry in some way. This help will include more than just allowing Harry back into her house one last time.
- We'll learn more about Dumbledore and his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald. Maybe also about Dumbledore's brother Ableforth.
- We'll learn more about James and Lily Potter. I realize this is a bit vague, but there's got to be more to the fact that Harry has his mom's eyes.
- The house-elves, or at least Dobby, will help Harry, rewarding him and Hermione for their kindness toward them.
- Wormtail will repay his life-debt to Harry.
Reading through the predictions, I can see that I'm pretty optimistic about the outcome: Both Snape and Draco redeem themselves, none of the kids die, and Voldemort is defeated. Let's see if J.K. Rowling agrees!

Women's Health
Vaccine Aims to Block Bladder Infections
Sept. 17, 2009 -- For millions of women and some men, bladder infections are a painful part of life.
More than half of women will have at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime and many will have recurrent infections. Men get them too, but much less often than women and usually as a result of another medical problem, such as kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.
Although easily treated in most cases, the infections are not so easily prevented. But early animal research might lead to a nasal spray that protects against bladder and other urinary tract infections.
Researchers from the University of Michigan created the nasal vaccine, which targets specific strains of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium that causes most urinary tract infections.
Mouse Studies Promising
In animal studies, mice treated with three of six experimental vaccine candidates tested by the researchers developed antibodies against the bacteria and became resistant to infection.
The mice received an initial immunization, delivered via nasal spray, followed by two booster sprays a few weeks later, lead researcher Harry L.T. Mobley, PhD, tells WebMD.
"We screened more than 5,300 possible proteins and ended up with three that were very effective for preventing infection," Mobley says.
In a separate study, the researchers looked for, and found, these proteins in E. coli strains obtained from women treated for urinary tract infections.
"This suggests we are on the right track and that this might prove to be an effective vaccine in humans," he says.
The researchers hope to test the vaccine in humans but have no firm plans to do so. Mobley says a commercially available vaccine based on the research is at best years away.
245,000 UTI Hospitalizations Each Year
The University of Michigan researchers are not the first to attempt a vaccine to prevent urinary tract infections, and urologist Tomas Griebling, MD, MPH, tells WebMD that such a vaccine makes a lot of sense.
Griebling is vice chairman of the department of urology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
By one estimate, urinary tract infections account for 6.8 million visits to doctors, 1.3 million emergency room trips, and 245,000 hospitalizations a year in the United States at a cost of $2.4 billion.

My 2-year-old was awake three hours earlier than usual. Blurry-eyed and not yet fueled with caffeine, I reached for the TV remote control.
"What should we watch," I asked, —'Super Why!'? 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood'? 'Sofia the First'?"
Carolyn shook her head. "One Direction."
"How about 'Mickey Mouse'?" I coaxed.
She shot me a dark, how-dare-you look. "I need my One Direction."
And that's how we recently came to watch five teenage heartthrobs singing "Best Song Ever" a half-dozen times at 6:15 in the morning.
How exactly did my toddler come to fall in love with One Direction? Full credit for that goes to her 16-year-old sister, Dana, who is the band's other big fan in our household.
Call this one of the many unexpected upshots of having two daughters separated in age by 14 years. My toddler is discovering boy bands a decade too early, while my teenager is rediscovering Duplo Legos and tea parties a decade later in life.
Parenting a teenager and toddler at the same time is like seeing life's juxtapositions on a daily basis.
Laundry is the perfect example. Pleading, bribing and even threatening to burn her clothes have yet to prod my teenager into keeping the dirty laundry from overflowing the hamper. My toddler, meanwhile, thinks the chore is one big game -- she gets excited transferring the wash to the dryer and "attempting" to fold the clothes.
It's also pretty surreal to teach one child to drive a car while showing the other how to pedal a tricycle.
The gigantic age gap between kids was not part of my original game plan. Dana was 7 years old when my husband and I started plotting our way to making her a big sister. Carolyn just took her sweet time coming into this world.
With each year of waiting, my expectations had to shift.
I always had a very Norman Rockwell image of parenting my girls. They would play Barbies together, share clothes and giggle long into the night on family vacations. They would have petty fights, argue over who had to do the dishes, but inevitably end up being each other's maid of honor. That's how it was for my younger sister and me, who are separated by only 27 months.
Watching my girls together is nothing like reliving my own childhood. In some ways, however, it's just an altered version.
My toddler already acts out real scenes with her dolls and Little People toys, largely because her older sister introduced her to the world of imaginative play. The girls often huddle on Dana's bed watching videos on YouTube -- which is how One Direction became a big hit. And the sisters actually had their first sibling spat not too long ago over a crayon -- it lasted 10 seconds and ended with both laughing hysterically.
Even more remarkable, the two girls have the kind of relationship I could never have had with my own sister because we were so close in age. If Carolyn scrapes her knee, she is just as likely to run to Dana for a hug and a Band-Aid. When Dana's had a rough day, she is more likely to want a comforting hug from her baby sister than her overprotective parents.
It would be easy to say Dana is like Carolyn's second mom. In reality, she's the ideal big sister, nurturing one minute and all-out-fun the next.
This past summer, Dana volunteered two days a week at her sister's preschool. The plan was to get some real-work experience. What she also got was a new perspective while watching Carolyn interact with children her own age.
"She's like a real little person," Dana said at summer's end. "She is so mature and really fearless."
Partial credit for that goes to Dana, for showing her how to be more than just a 2-year-old.
The other night I walked past the girls huddled around Dana's laptop. They were whispering and giggling.
Then I heard a familiar song: "Hot dog! Hot dog! Hot diggity dog!"
Dana just smiled. "She wanted to watch Mickey Mouse."
And that's how my teenager gets to remain a kid for a little while longer.

"Change" seems to be the operative word in our world, doesn't it? Here are some informational items that might be helpful in your world.
Use technology to "visit" NMU: You or your teachers may want to consider an electronic field trip (associated with career pathways) for your students.
Summer Academic Camps: We are expanding our menu of summer academic programs for high school students. Our environmental science camp was a hit in 2014 and 2015 and we plan to offer it again in the future. Programs related to coding and exploration of the social and cultural aspects of the Upper Peninsula were added in 2015, and we anticipate additional offerings each summer.
High School Grade Point Averages: For admission and scholarship purposes, NMU will use the overall cumulative GPA reported on the high school transcript. If a high school computes more than one GPA (e.g. weighted and unweighted), we will use the higher of the two.
New Scholarships--You and your students can view scholarships or predict merit awards based on an individual student's academic criteria using our Net Price Calculator.
NMU Application for Admission and Counselor Form--We welcome counselor comments regarding students applying to NMU, but they are NOT required. You may submit the eSSR through Parchment/Docufide or through a letter or school form, but not providing this does not delay the admission decision. If you feel there is information to share that could impact the admission decision (issues that have impacted the student's grades or test scores or course choice), we encourage you to submit the eSSR or call or e-mail me or your NMU admissions counselor.
Financial Hardship/Application Fee Waivers--If you are working with a student who wishes to apply to NMU and for whom the $35 application fee would cause financial difficulty, please know we consider requests made via standard fee waiver request forms such as College Board, NACAC, or high school forms verifying financial status.

So, since there's a light trickle of literary people to my blog, I'm going to type up what are the beginnings of some thinking I've been doing about narrative theory (using this term a bit loosely). And I'd like to know what you think.
In the thousands and thousands of pieces of writing I've read over the last couple years, a pattern has started to emerge, and while I haven't approached these in anything resembling a scientific manner, I do think, based on the improperly gathered evidence, that there is a hierarchy of needs related to narratives, and that the more of these needs are met, the more successful a narrative will be.
For simplicity's sake, I've tentatively called it the CASE Hierarchy. You'll see why after the jump.

SHELBY, N.C. – Chances are you'll recognize one or more of the characters in the Greater Shelby Community Theatre's production of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change."
Want to go?
What: "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change," Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro, Music by Jimmy Roberts, Directed by Rebecca Reger; for mature and adult audiences
Where: Keeter Auditorium, Cleveland Community College, South Post Road, Shelby, N.C.
When: Feb. 1,-2, Feb. 8 -9 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 3 and Feb. 10 at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students. Tickets may also be purchased at www.gsct.org. Go to the "I Love You" page and scroll down to the bottom to purchase.
Information: 704-480-8495
The four cast members — Michael "Mekie" Whitaker, Sean Whitworth, Jenni Hassler and Jamie Brackett Hardin — play the parts of more than 20 adults facing the ups and downs of dating and relationships.
"The music is hysterical and the lines are awesome," said director Becky Reger. "There is somebody you know in every scene."
And you will probably see yourself, too, said Hassler.
"It's very funny, but has some poignant and heart-warming touches," she said.
The musical review, written by Joe DiPietro, tackles such issues as parents who talk baby talk; men who talk and women who pretend to listen; infidelity; and the injustice of long lines for the ladies room.
The actors have about 30 seconds between scene changes. Signs posted back stage remind them which character they play and what props they need for each of the vignettes.
"There are so many things to like about this show," Whitworth said. "The scenes run the gamut from the first blind date to newlyweds, new parents, divorce to the funeral home and losing the one you have spent your life with."
It's not for children, though.
"This is for mature and older audiences," Reger said. "It's not trashy; it's just suggestive. You don't want to have to answer when your children ask, 'What does that mean?'"
Whitaker likes the play's bold themes, which may be too daring for some, he said.
This is his first time acting on stage, although he has been singing in choirs since high school and sang in the Navy choir. Learning the music came easy for him, but he's still struggling with his speaking parts.
"I work six days a week, so it is very hard to learn the lines," he said.
Rounding out the cast is Hardin, who has acted before but never been in a musical.
"I love the people I'm working with," she said. "It's a little racy, but has a lot of truth in it about human relationships."
The four singers and actors work well together, Reger said.
"All of them are vocally amazing," she said. "I have never worked with four people whose voices blend as well as they do."
The production has also come together with the expertise of vocal advisor Tom Lattimore and stage manager Jeff Houser, Reger said.

I agree that getting rid of al Awlaki was a good idea, but in view of the separation of powers and duties that are in the Constitution, it would be nice to have the details of whether the Executive branch solely by itself confirmed the kill order or whether there was a Judicial branch oversight (a court sworn to secrecy like the FISA court)as well as the Legislative authorization to act on any gather intelligence (like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act).
Google FISA and learn more.
There is way too much power consolidated in the Executive Branch (either for a Democratic or Republican POTUS).
Primary tabs
Is it legally justified to use drones to kill U.S. citizens who are aiding the enemy in other countries?

what about those who are triators to the constitution? Should the be put to death?
I think it extremely disengenous of the ACLU to protect American rights abroad when for the last however long it has fought against American citizenship as a privelage in this country. Hypocrites is the best word to describe the defense. It is dangerously more than that. I find it suspicious that the American Press continues to claim President Obama's surge was a surge. 19,000 troops and the DOD requested a minimum of 40,000 AMERICAN troops was necessary to make an American presence felt everywhere at once in Afghanistan. Between that and the ROE's the democrats way of war has been spectacularly unsuccessful. Unless you are both an anti-Semite and hate Christians.
And in august of this year our troops paid the bill for the President's lack of strength and determination preferring instead to fall back on the outmoded notion all late 20th century and 21st century wars are Vietnams. It would be helpful if the leadership had a plan instead of tiredfailed Marxist cliches.

Yes, it is necessary to use drone on people who express, intention to harm americans or any other fellow
human beiing just to express thier views, harm, create
panic, with extreme behavior. There is a price to pay for this behavior no matter where you hide or for how long. You must be able to remove people of this way life
for the good of all man kind.
I find it said that too many of my fellow veterans forget what they were representing, fighting and dieing for. As I recall it is the USA and the constitutional rights given us. I think some of my comrades in arms should take the time to become educated to a lot more of those constitutional rights than just the ones that we like and justify our own opinions. Remember those opinions fall under some of those rights. Your opinion, my opinion, John Kerry and Jane Fonda's opinions all are given under the same rights. It is also a far cry from voicing an unpopular opinion to actually commiting a terrorist act. One final note that I wish we could put to bed, in the final view Vietnam sucked, everyone hated it, the politicians who lead our government at the time lied to us, abused us and sacrificed the lives and happiness of a whole generation. Truthfully ask yourself, who should we really be mad at.
Jane Fonda should have been convicted of treason. She went far beyond the "Right to her Opinion". Our fellow countrymen were tortured because of what that traitor did and she should have been tried and convicted. Even in a free society there is a limit to what anyone with common sense should understand. Todays Hollywood people make me sick !!!
Absolutely!! They are nothing but traitors. Either the firing squad, or hung.
Whether it is Jane Fonda in Hanoi attempting to demoralize U.S. troops and get them to surrender or a U.S. citizen in Iraq, Iran, or any other country in the world, a traitor's actions still deserve a traitor's reward. Out intelligence agencies were foolish enough to ignore the warning signs and we learned the hard way that terrorism and treachery don't only exist in other countries. We are in a continuous war against forces that would happily destroy our democracy. If enemy forces and traitors are killed or injured in a surprise action against enemy collaboration, so be it. It comes down to accepting personal responsibility for your actions. If they didn't want to become a casualty, they should have stayed home.
yes, absolutely thats all that needs to be said.
At this point Anwar Awlaki's citizenship is irrelevant. We are not talking about some guy who states he is at war and then just sits on a U.S. street or a street in the UK and talk about what he believes. If that was the case then this would be murder. However we are talking about a man actively committing act of war against the U.S. and the civilized world. He was on the field of battle (or the closes thing to it in this type of war) and was acting on a daily or minute by minute basis to destroy the civilized world. Therefore he was open game to be taken out.
It was a shame we could not capture him, bring him back, put him on trial, them have him shot for treason, but we can't have every thing in life.
This should answer the question: "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America aganist all enemies, foreign and domestic; They got their PROCESS and received their DUES which I consisted Due Process. Read the Oath.
It was a very good thing to kill the maggots with drone attacks or any other means. While they are at it they should target the A.C.L.U headquarters with some drones. They are some of America's biggest emenies !
Absolutely, they were confirmes and verified enemy combatants and in any war a soldier must kill or the enemy will kill you. These people are religious finatics and their religion orders them to kill all non believers. This has been going on for thousands of years remember the Crusades. Unless you are a muslim they want to see "YOU" dead. Get over the bleeding liberal crap, these people have to be killed or they will kill all Infidels. Get it that means YOU!!!!
Two names come to my mind. John Kerry and Jane Fonda. To bad we did not have drones in the 60's. Put Bill Ayers on that list too.
If they look like a terrorists, Act like terrorists,Talk like a terrorists, Smell like terrorists, Guess what they are terrorists.
And if they are filthy,stinking terrorists they need to be taken out. I do not care where they come from I only care where they are going and that is to hell because we are going to send them there by any means we can. Remember the 343.
It is really simple here. This jack-ass committed Treason against the United States, and the punishment for Treason in time of war is death. Sentence carried out by CIA / Spec Ops folks. No trail needed, no bleeding heart socialists to cry about him being repressed. That is the law, plain and simple, commit Treason and die!!!
I think we as veterans, some American Legion, some VFW,etc. need to stop dabbling in politics. We had our chance, and now that is over. We must believe in our Joint Chiefs, and our POTUS, and support the decisons they make. I for one do not agree with the POTUS, and shall reflect that decision in the next election. As far as drones being used, they are expensive, impersonal, and devastating. If our leaders said they needed to take him out, that should be the end of it. Quit dissecting, get on board and be a team member. If you don't like it, vote. Let's get back to taking care of the Veterans that our Gov't is not. If this was just a press stimulus to get rants, so be it. I will go elsewhere

I don't get what all of the hoop-la is about....Anwar al-Awlaki did not give aid and comfort to the enemy....He WAS one of their top leaders,,,,Give e a break, American Justice System for an enemy ? Who in his right mind is going to serve the warrant arrest him, cuff him, mirandize him? Just because he was an American Citizen at one time? He gave up the rights of an american citizen many years ago.....
Look him up on U-Tube & listen to his spew in his own words.
No matter who you attack,or assist an enemy; a normal person would understand; "Icould die". It's called war, terrorism, police action, whatever! And if you decided to assist an enemy of your own country, against your country; I do belive that is refered to as being a "Traitor". And is a death sentence. the drone saved ue thousands of dolars in court costs. I did several tours in Nam and 5 missions in iraq; those against us, had no honor, compassion; only destroy Americans. I'd of shot the person. you may not always understand or like policies of your country, but it's your country. Speak out, your right. To assist an enemy of your country, is TREASON!
The subject of the drone attack publicly proclaimed his alliance with this nation's enemies, publicly proclaimed his collusion in deadly terrorist attacks against this country and publicly proclaimed he was at war with this nation. This nation did exactly what it should do with any enemy at war with this nation, self-proclaimed or otherwise, we killed him. I applaud the administration's decision to eliminate a national threat regardless of the threat's location or prior home of record and firmly hope this action stands as a warning for all others that think they can act with impunity against this nation and believe their nationality will provide them shelter from the same fate as others who wage war against this country.
He got what was coming to him and no one is to blame for this action other than the target of the drone.
Robert Ireland (PUFL) Post 174 Willits, CA
Anyone who denounces the United States of America to the extent of planning terorist attacks against it, forfeits their right to citisonship protection and ultimately becomes a target for America's guns.
"Mr. Bailey" is right on. When US Citizens choose to aid the enemy, they no longer are entitled to US rights and are you saying that if the enemy over runs a church, store or hospital, and sets up shop, we are not allowed to strike the church, store or hospital? Get real!!!
In this case Yes. It is my understanding that he had renounced his american citizenship.
One thing which has alway's bothered me about this Great nation when at war; Political "Acrobatic's" vs Military Expedience. They (Congress) give us the tool's too wage war, yet; at least since WWII, "some" have tied our hand's instead of letting our miitary Might be shown.? This most recent of event's in Yeomen; Albeit an American citizen, SHOULD be applauded.. I remember quite clearly the "oath of service" I,, had taken in 88" for in-prosessing and then the second after arrival for basic training. Subsequently ,twice more for re-enlistment's. There was a certain "Para" which i had recited at least 4 Times! ( I Solemly Swear too DEFEND the Constitution of the United States, Against "ENEMIES", foreign and ""DOMESTIC""!.. iT DOES NOT MATTER IF U WERE BORN HERE. If you show Deadly intension's against her "people" or "military"; by siding w/an Established ENEMY. Then the use of deadly force can be authorized.
I remember while I was in the military that we had to study Law of Arm Conflict. We have to weigh the risk of allowing the enemy to be protected by civilian or non-Combantants before we strike. Overall we are not to strike on civilian targets, ie. churches, stores, hospitals, etc. I think Mr. Bailey is taking a lose approach to the oath and I think that we should by all means apprehend those that are providing a safe haven for the enemy but not use the kind of force as a drone to settle our conflicts. Don't get me wrong the drone should only be used against Combantants. They have their place in war. We mind as well arm every civilian with a hand gun so that when someone makes us mad we can shoot them. Is that what we're saying we want to do with the drone? Drones need to be controled and not left to decide who the enemy is.
Your comment: Is that what we're saying we want to do with the drone? Drones need to be controled and not left to decide who the enemy is.
Just for your information, Drones are nothing more than an airborne weapon that is controlled from the ground...There are at least 3 people that are involved with every weaponized drone flight. Drones do not fly by themselves or make the decision who the enemy is,,,,It is a joint decision from the ground
Who says he was a terrorist?
Are you willing to take the media's version of this as judgement?
How long will it be before you are the target?
Who will defend you against criminal suppression then?
Who says that terrorists attacked us on 11 September?
What absolute proof do you have that anyone can put before a judge? Nothing has ever been found.
How easy would it be when the media lables YOU as a terrorist and the public wants rid of YOU?
He publicly announced he was a terrorist, thus in answer to your question, "Who says he was a terrorist?" The answer is, he said he was a terrorist. Moreover, he publicly proclaimed his position as an active hostile at war with this country, bragged about his participation in terrorism and actively recruited others to attack this country. He reaped what he sowed and there was nothing wrong in this nation killing a self-proclaimed enemy combatant regardless of nation of origin.
"Our whole sytem (sic) is about the practice of law, NOT justice."
Exactly! So why do we have an administration meting out justice with no consideration for law?
Yes! Remember? We ARE a nation of law. Ever consider the fourth amendment?
"We are a nation at WAR. Last time I checked that has not been withdrawn."
Again, we are a nation of law. According to law, we haven't been at war since 31 December 1946. Check Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. Then check your history.
Worried you can't find a judge to issue a warrant? That is a valid concern. We have a judiciary who will protect a-holes like this but charge your disabled grandmother for resisting a strip search at the airport. But this, too, is a legal problem.
You need to educate yourself. We did NOT target an American. Actually, they didn't even know he was there. We do NOT have smart bombs that can seek out and hit one person in a crowd with a bomb. He declared war on the United States some time ago. Treason is punished by a death penalty. Being an American ordering terrorist hits on the US makes everything null and void. He gave up his citizenship when he declared war on us. I don't understand any of you that overlooks the basic fact he was a terrorist! It is war! There has NEVER been a war where innocent victims don't die and that is horrible. This man was not innocent, refused to come to the US and his parents still live in the US. He sure doesn't seem to give a rip about his own flesh and blood.
"I tremble for my nation, when I consider that God is Just" Thomas Jefferson No thinking citizen can condone use of these abomanations masquerading as legitimate, lawful means of dealing with American citizens, regardless of what I or the so-called government may accuse the individual with thinking, saying or alledgedly doing. Ron Paul is correct here, as well as charging that our nation has been a toy of the global banker parasites for many administrations. Due process, the security of my PERSONAL property, life, papers and liberty must mean less than nothing to the braindead-mouthbreathers who support blindly the clear d estruction of sacred principals set forth plainly, clearly and emphatically in the Constitution of these United States - a document that clearly all of us are charged in defending, protecting and honoring. Shame indeed upon any man so ignorant to violate the precept of an oath so given. s wm carson 101st ABN DVN '63-'65
Yes. Good job. We've killed more lately than any other time, proud that we are getting it done.
Choices are too limited....a citizen loses citizenship when they order attacks on the US from a foreign land , thus the CINC can lawfully order kill or capture. By evading arrest the enemy combatant was an outlaw and not a US citizen.
Um...what planet did you say you were from? Legality, Justice?? Our whole sytem is about the practice of law, NOT justice. Warrants? We are a nation at WAR. Last time I checked that has not been withdrawn. These are the same folks who brought us 911, and merrily chopped off the heads of our people, and you want a warrant? Who would issue it. Judge Judy(She might, she appears to have more balls than you do)I have spent 40 years working to support our laws, but these creatures only deserve extermination like the vermin thay are!!
Adding "US Citizen" to the equation changes NOTHING! They forfeit any protections that title infers by waging war on their fellow citizens.There is not one enemy life worth our service personal getting so much as a hangnail. Bring on the drones. Ironic Obama is doing what he condemed Bush for.
Almost voted for the Battlefield option then thought about it. The Battlefield is whereever you find the enemy. And killing them is an act of war.
Was this just another war casualty? No, this individual was intentionally targeted. Am I sorry the a-hole is dead? No. Do I think he could be considered a traitor? Oh, yes, definitely! Was he properly charged, tried by a jury of his peers, and sentenced to death? Nope! The powers-that-be in Washington acted as accuser, judge, jury, and executioner.
The powers-that-be in Washington have also more than inferred that the REAL threat is home grown terrorists, like returning veterans, TEA Party supporters, gun owners, etc. So what is to say that the powers in control who engineered the execution of this guy won't condemn YOU and send a drone to YOUR house?
It is really scary to see that 94% of the respondents to this poll have opted for immediate gratification without a thorough consideration of the issues and consequences.
Do it legally. Next time, get a warrant for arrest. Maybe we'll get lucky and the next terrorist will try to resist. At least it would be moral and legal.
That's the bottom line. Both of these characters have committed treason through actions and words. The punishment for treason is death. Not to mention the terrorist bit. I say kill them where they can be found and as quick as they can be found. Don't question it either, brag about it afterwards. Let it be a lesson to anyone else contemplating such actions. To put it in the words of the terrorists themselves. "Death to the infidels".
Only a pure progressive socialist liberal would even take the time to ask a question like this. For those of us who have worn the uniform and taken up arms to protect this country, this question is an affront to our sacrifice. The moment a "citizen" declares him/her self an enemy of America, his citizenship should be revoked instantly, and that person is placed on the hit list. We don't need to ask the question as to why a person would do this, it is immaterial. We are at war, period, I know America is at the Mall, but this country is truly at war and I am afraid it is going to take another 9/11 before people wake up to that fact.
Ron Paul is NOT a progressive liberal. However, some might think I am. Read my response and eat your words.

When a person born in the USA turns against this country and organizes terrorist activities, he or she gives up any and all rights to be a citizen as far as I am concerned and should be dealt with as with any terrorist.
If you voted yes please read this.
The Constitution was written to protect US citizens. (Are you a Citizen?) If the document is not that important to you than what were you fighting for.
Suppose that in The Revolutionary War King George could have used drones on us. Were we not traitors in his eyes? He of course would have condoned them using your same logic.
Now, however, we have a Constitution and it is suppose to protect our rights. I am not ready to give any of those rights up, to get scum bag US citizens. There is a process when it comes to citizens, which is already in place and we should use it. Not to protect those traitors, but to protect ourselves from potential leaders which might want to abuse us in the future.
If for some strange reason you end up on some terrorist list, perhaps in error, you might not relish the thought of getting droned.
Why are people trying to dismantle our version of the English language that IS FOR AMERICA, not the world. TREASON, this is what Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan PROUDLY did by voice, action and in print. STOP spreading ignorance and use AMERICAN ENGLISH in AMERICA without trying to create clouds of mystery.
He should have had his citizenship revoked for his actions. He was not born in this country. None of this would have never been brought up.
He was riding with some bomb makers, who had NO PROBLEM strapping one of these onto a young boy or woman and killing our troops.
Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan were just GREAT COLLATERAL KILLS. NO HARD FEELS, it's just BUSINESS
In my opinion when Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan gave both aid and comfort to the enemies they became traitors and surrendered any right they may have once had to due process and the American Justice System.
Drones, bunker buster bombs, alpha strikes, special ops teams, even spitballs at close range...as long as the vermin are disposed of!
Those that disagree, send those vermin your home address with an invite to dinner and see what they have in mind for dessert !
free a terrorist or other criminal from rapid termination as performed by any of our defense systems. In other words, just because an individual is so fortunate as to be born in the USA; whether from both parents being US Citizens or immigrants should not be of consequence. Turn on the USA and the USA has the right to eliminate any threat! I do not feel that individual should be guaranteed the same legal rights as any other law abiding Citizen. A traitor is a traitor,generally they were hung or shot, in a hurry! My condolences to his parents, as long as they did not support him or his actions.
If a US citizen gives aid and comfort to the enemy of our country he is a traitor and traitors should be shot on sight. Also he had killed many innocient individuals.
If a US citizen gives aid and comfort to the enemy of our country he is a traitor and traitors should be shot on sight. Also he had killed many innocient individuals.
Discuss the innocent child murdered by the terrorists.
Spend your time dicussing the innocent good, decent honest muslims, and christians, and people of any different faith, who live in fear of their lives, because of the evil they sow.
God bless our troops.
That question shouldn't have to be asked. was it justified for terrorists to kill American citizens in the twin towers. We should use whatever means we have to stop war on America.
You mess with US you mess with all of US, drone, A-10 Warthog....etc, etc.
Born or not born in the US is not matter.If you're against the laws of the US ,you're considered the enemy of the States.If you're caught,you have the right to have a legal process,if you're killed,you're done.
Traitors are shot or hung.
Citizen or not, matters not. It's really all about self defense. These people want to kill us. We have to beat them to the draw. There are too many good people in this world to worry about the bad apples. Be gone with them any way you can.

The fact that pro basketball player Jason Collins came out of the homosexual closet on the same day that pro football player and devout Christian Tim Tebow was released by the New York Jets seems to have fueled the fires of America's culture war.
If you Google the words "Collins," "gay," "Tebow" and "Christian" in the same search field,� you'll find links to arguments that Collins is the beneficiary of — and Tebow the victim of — a political-correctness conspiracy among the mainstream media. (See HERE, for example.)
But such arguments are mostly nonsense. There have long been lots ...
