Skip to comments.Dems defend Etheridge, attack Breitbart
Posted on 06/14/2010 12:08:10 PM PDT by reaganrevolutionin2010
Bob Etheridge's abject apology for roughing up an anonymous conservative videographer is being accompanied by a defense of the congressman from national Democrats.
"Motives matter, and I think you can see who was behind this," said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse just now. "This was a Republican party tracking operation. If it wasn't a party tracker or intern, why is the face blurred and why is the source hidden? You know if it had been a right wing blog, they'd identify themselves and they'd be booking this person on TV all day. Republicans know if they admit their involvement in this game of gotcha it will undermine their credibility. One minute this guy is interviewing a member of Congress on camera and the next a video is released with his face blurred out? If that doesnt tell you this is a Republican Party hatchet job nothing will."
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
The "Email Bob" link on his official website has been disabled, LOL
I called his DC office and gave them an earful.
The motive behind asking a question of those who work FOR US?
Calling all TEA PARTY-ers!!!! Assignment!!! To DE SEAT Etheridge and come along side Renee Ellmer's!!!!!!!!!!!!
So let me see, calling a guy "macaca" is reason enough to put a guy out of his job, but grabbing a student and physically assaulting him is a Republican hatchet scheme?
HAHAHA!! Good luck trying to defend this guy's actions. Assault is assault and no amount of spinning is going to get this clown out of it.
I swore I saw George W. Bush in that video!
Democrats: Defending the Indefensible Since The 1800's.
They defended the drunk killer whale from MA for years; this is just another case of being drunk while democrat; that is the norm for the democrat party.
Not sure what the moron's point is.
Must be that assault is okay when a Republican asks a Democrat if he agrees with his President's agenda.
Scappleface and The Onion ought to hang it up... reality is more bizarre than fiction now.
I'm sure they blurred their faces to prevent democrat/SEIU reprisals.
LOL! I love the smell of desperation.
How many times have Conservative politicians been accosted by nasty liberal media types. They really hate taking their own medicine.
"They defended the drunk killer whale from MA for years; this is just another case of being drunk while democrat; that is the norm for the democrat party."
Ded Kennedy (D-HELL) established this behavior. Bubba cemented it. Elcee Hastings codified it.
Democrats are psychotic.
that says it all...
Even if this were a GOP-run "gotcha" operation (which I doubt), I don't see how that absolves Etheridge here. Regardless of the videographer's motives, Etheridge could have answered his question respectfully, or just given a "no comment" instead of going crazy.
Oh right.... victims of assault are only victims if Big Brother says so.
Thanks Goodness he didn't call them a name (like Macaca) and only assaulted them instead. Had it been the other way around we would see it on tv and in the Washington Post for a month!
George Allen was followed everywhere he went in 2006 by Jim Webb political operatives who filmed his every public move and comments, but I guess that was ok with the MSM because Allen was the Repub.
Is anyone going to call democrats out for constantly claiming "they" are behind everything?
Last time I checked democrats in office are supposed to represent all their constituents, not just liberal democrats.
The evil "they" are the American people.
You had two well dressed young men ask a simple polite question, if that was us I'm proud of us.
All I saw was a student saying hello, asking how he was and then asking if he supported the Obama agenda?
How is that in any relevant to the sleazy gotcha politics of the scumbag un-American liberal media?
"...If that doesnt tell you this is a Republican Party hatchet job nothing will..."
What is a "hatchet job" about asking what an elected official supports??? The elected official should be happy to discuss his views with constituents and other voters...
He needs to realize that what he thinks and what he does is what brings him votes...
What he DID was to eliminate votes...
from the article: "Debunked Acorn Videos"
They are delusional.
"Ded Kennedy (D-HELL)"
Hahahahaha!!!!! Love it!
Ben Smith thinks that if the kids were Republicans, then they deserved to be slapped around.
The summer of rage begins.
Republicans are amazing. They make make a Dem Congressman physically abusively by asking if the Dem supports 0bama's agenda AND they can convince Dems to vote for a primary candidate that..., well, is Alvin Greene.
Face it Dems not only are you and your party STUPID but now you condone abusive behavior.
Unbelievable. Last week we had that guy punching a Tea Party member in the face over the bailouts, some liberal biting off a guy's finger last summer, and now this?
These people are like animals.
Whoaa! I just saw the video and that is definitely assault.
At least he didn't call the kid a "Macaca"!
They also have no problem with the Klansman from West Virginia, calling him "the conscience of the Senate."
I've sent my donation!
I am so sick and tired of Democrats.
Main stream news organizations practicing gotcha journalism = Pulitzer Prize.
Student journalists asking a benign question = Hatchet job.
Good Grief... if he thinks he is gonna squirm outta this one he is too dumb to be Vice President
mark my words, they are gonna pass a law making it illegal to record a Member of Congress without his or her permission
Now, who you gonna believe ?
Etheridge's statement or your own, lyin, eyes ?
I called his Washington office. Felt great to do SOMETHING.
"We Con The World" is suitable here....
ALL Democrats are THUGS....ELITIST THUGS!!!
Evidently, by his actions...He doesn't support Obama..*LOL*
If he did, he would've smiled into the camera and began his "political" speeching....

SGX cheers derivatives gains
The Singapore Exchange, one of the Asia-Pacific region's biggest bourses, side-stepped the broader slump in the derivatives markets last year that hit volumes at its larger rivals.
The average daily volume of contracts traded on SGX jumped 11% in 2012 compared with 2011, reaching a new high of 326,595, according to data published by the exchange yesterday. The total number of contracts traded in 2012 reached 80.2 million, the exchange said.
SGX, which has ambitions to become a major international exchange, has been buoyed by a combination of underlying economic growth in Asia-Pacific and combined new infrastructure and product developments that have made it more attractive to foreign trading firms.
Simmy Grewal, a senior analyst at Boston-headquartered consultancy Aite Group, said: "The Singapore Exchange is a welcoming exchange to western traders and it has done a lot to improve and upgrade its infrastructure, as well as co-listing a lot of firm securities in index derivatives in different Asian markets."
She added: "The increased trading volumes of derivatives in 2012 corresponds with the main trend that we have been seeing of the movement of traders away from European and US markets to Asia. I expect growth in Asia to continue forward in this way as long as regulators are smart and don't start to try and impose a host of new rules that could have the same effect of paralysing trading as we have seen in the west."
The SGX remains a small derivatives exchange compared with the established US and European futures giants. However, the growth of its derivatives business – which includes commodity, equity index, and interest rate futures – comes at a difficult time for its larger rivals, which were hit last year by the ongoing economic and regulatory uncertainty that led to a slump in derivatives trading.
According to the most recent available data on global volumes provided by the Futures Industry Association, the total number of futures and options contracts traded – based on traded and cleared volumes across 84 exchanges worldwide – fell 10.2% for the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
The CME Group, the world's largest derivatives exchange, said last week that the average daily volume of contracts traded on its markets fell 15% to 11.4 million in 2012, compared with 2011, while Deutsche Börse Group, which comprises Eurex and the International Securities Exchange, said average daily volume for 2012 fell 18% on the previous year, to nine million.
These exchanges are increasingly looking to the Asia-Pacific region for growth. In October, Eurex unveiled new pricing and fee structures aimed at attracting Asia-Pacific based trading firms to its market, while its chief European rival NYSE Liffe announced two partnerships with Asian exchanges.
At the same time, the CME Group told Financial News that it plans to target Asian-Pacific trading firms with its new European exchange scheduled to be launched this year.
The Singapore Exchange was not immediately available for further comment.

Every year, temporary employment peaks in November and then begins a swift slide through the end of the year. Except for this year. The past two weeks the index has rebounded from its Turkey Week low to year-high levels, and so far, has stayed there. The previous 5 years the index has fallen steeply after Turkey Day.
Given what we saw last week in the large decline in first-time unemployment claims, when we couple that data with this, we very well may be looking at some significant employment gains coming in Q1 2012.
Here is the multi-year comp another way:
Now, it is possible the data collapse happens this week. Even if it does, the stronger-than-normal year-end data bodes well for the beginning of 2012. If it doesn't collapse like it should, it bodes very, very well indeed.

Lib Group Pressures UN to Tell Catholic Church It Doesn't Have the Right to Oppose Abortion
A lot of liberals were in full hope-y, change-y fever thanks for rampant misunderstandings or outright manipulations of the teachings of Pope Francis. But upon realizing that the Pope is, indeed, still Catholic, they've gone on the attack, with the latest being a pro-abortion liberal group insisting that the UN tells the Church that they have no right to oppose abortion.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, a non-governmental organization that advocates for legalized abortion, is urging the United Nations Committee Against Torture to tell the Catholic Church that "the freedom of speech and of religion" do not give the church the right to advocate against abortion.
When the committee met in Geneva on Monday for a hearing on the Vatican's compliance with the Convention Against Torture, Vice Chairperson Felice Gaer, an American, said in her opening statement that laws that ban all abortion–which is the position of the Catholic Church—may violate the convention. She also repeated verbatim some language that had been in a letter the CRR had sent to the committee on April 11.
Gaer, however, did not quote the section in CRR's letter that urged the committee to tell the church that the freedoms of religion and speech did not give the church a right to advocate against abortion.
CRR's letter included several recommendations for how the Committee Against Torture should deal with Catholicism.
So people should have freedom of speech and religion, they just shouldn't exercise them. Meanwhile, shouldn't the UN worry about religions that actually do torture people, like, say… I don't know, Islam?

I went back and forth about whether I was going to put a "round-up" post up on the blog… but, as I enjoy reading everyone's yearly round-up posts, I decided to go ahead and put one up. So, without further ado… here are my top 12 party posts of 2012!
In January I featured a Rustic Dinner Party that I threw for a friend's birthday… my favorite details were the spray painted animal figures that found their way into the centerpieces and, of course, all the burlap. I'm pretty sure that 2012 was my year to use the heck out of burlap!
I love the idea behind the "Nice to Meet You" linky party that Adventures in Dressmaking and several other awesome blogs are hosting. This linky party's theme is "Favorite Things You've Made" and I thought it super appropriate for a DIY party blog. So, I'm listing the six favorite things I've made— Party Edition.
I'd love to know YOUR six favorite things that you have made. So, if you'd like to link up then head on over and link up your favorite things (you can even link up a Pinterest board!) -OR- just tell me about them in the comments section.
2. Newspaper Program—Maybe it is because it was from my wedding. Maybe it is because it was a newspaper. The program had mistakes, it wasn't perfect. But, it was my favorite detail of our wedding (other than the groom) and I am sure glad I made it!
3. My sister's wedding. This is a broad one here… but, I'm seriously so proud of every little detail that came to life for her wedding. I did a lot of little handmade details. Her invitations, the ribbon backdrop, the flowers… all favorites of mine!
4. The Mad Tea Party Decor— The Alice in Wonderland Halloween party was over-the-top and nothing like a traditional Halloween party. It was such a blast creating this space and it was so beautiful I didn't want to take it down for weeks. As a matter of fact one of the party elements stayed up in our home until we moved this past month… that is a couple of years!
5. My Fancy Pants Birthday Party— I had a lot of fun creating the Fancy Pants birthday party with tongue in cheek printables, handmade hats, lots of glitter, and all homemade gourmet food. (And, while the photos are not fabulous… I'm really proud of all the DIY posts that came out of this party.)
6. The Cherry Blossoms Wedding photo shoot that I styled and helped put together. I am over the moon that it was featured on Hostess with the Mostess.
|Photography done by Aubrie of Capturing Grace Photography
|"have three people pose like the 'no evil' monkeys"
|"take a photo of the most stylish person in the room"
Thanks for putting up with all my "Fancy Pants" party posts! This was a lot of fun and I hope you get some great ideas for your next party from the posts.

Fragmentation and the Wildness Index
The Wilderness Society (TWS) has developed a national map of "wildness" showing the degree to which regions of the United States are influenced by human infrastructure and influence. In the South, growing cities are increasing the influence of humans on the landscape, but many relatively remote and unaltered areas remain, especially in the Southern Appalachians, southwestern Florida, and in the swamps and wetlands of the coastal plain.
Wildness is an attribute of the land reflecting its naturalness and its freedom from human influence. As such, wildness captures not only important elements of ecological integrity, but aspects of the land relating to the human experience of a place, such as its remoteness and its provision of solitude. This map depicts an index of wildness created by combining information representing this naturalness and freedom: population density, distance from roads, pollution, as well as ecosystem composition, structure, and function.
Wildness is both continuous and relative. A wildness map of any area assigns all lands in that area some degree of wildness, from a relative high to a relative low. Expand or contract the area being mapped, and the wildness rating of a place within those areas may change. For instance, in the context of the contiguous United States, much of the Appalachian Mountains are only moderately wild; the vast open spaces of the West are far wilder by comparison. In the same context, even the largest of city parks receives the lowest wildness ranking. In the context of the eastern United States, however, the Appalachians are some of the wildest lands, and in the context of a metropolitan area a city park would also receive a high wildness ranking.
Potentially important conservation lands are not limited to those with the highest wildness index values. Any area more wild than its immediate surroundings plays an important role in preserving the wildness values of freedom and naturalness. A healthy, resilient, and pleasant landscape will often be made up of a mosaic of protected lands, each making its own unique contribution to the whole.
By itself, wildness mapping can help us visualize general land condition, corroborate the importance of lands already targeted for protection, and suggest areas where restoration work is needed. In conjunction with other information, wildness can help develop a robust plan for the protection of a network of wildlands stretching from the most intimate urban green space to our nation's largest wilderness area.

Columbia Sportswear's Tim and Mary Boyle make $10 million gift to OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
06/12/14 Portland, Ore.
New mentorship program will honor Hildegard Lamfrom, noted bioscientist
Columbia Sportswear President and Chief Executive Officer Tim Boyle and his wife, Mary, have donated $10 million to the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to recruit and support the next generation of cancer researchers.
The gift will create a mentorship fund honoring Hildegard Lamfrom, Ph.D., the sister of Columbia Sportswear Chairman Gert Boyle and a leading molecular biologist before her death in 1984 at age 62. The Hildegard Lamfrom, Ph.D., Endowed Mentor Fund at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute will ensure the best and brightest graduate students and early career investigators continue to select OHSU, and mentor and support them as they develop new treatments – and ultimately, cures – for cancer.
The Boyles' gift is the largest private donation received to date in support of the Knight Cancer Challenge, a $1 billion OHSU fundraising campaign to revolutionize early detection and treatment of cancer. More than $310 million has been raised to date.
"My Aunt Hildegard was completely devoted to basic science and pushing its capacity to solve the most complex problems in human health," said Tim Boyle. "She truly believed that someday, someone would cure cancer. That cure didn't come soon enough to save her, but she would be the first to want to stimulate the next wave of innovative thinking and research that will create the scientific breakthroughs needed to save millions of other lives."
During an exceptional career spanning four decades, Lamfrom crossed paths with some of the most noted biomedical researchers of the 20th century, including the team that cracked the DNA code. She broke new ground in her own field of protein synthesis and was a passionate mentor to many renowned scientists.
One of the beneficiaries of her encouragement was a young undergraduate chemist, Brian Druker, who now leads the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Lamfrom's early mentoring of Druker helped him gain admission to medical school and nurtured his tenacity in pursuing a cure for cancer. Druker, M.D., and his research team made headlines when they created the first targeted treatment that kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. The drug Gleevec®, approved for use in 2001, turned a previously lethal cancer – chronic myeloid leukemia – into a manageable disease and paved the way for development of targeted treatments for other types of cancer.
"It is truly inspiring to receive this kind of support for the Knight Cancer Institute from the family of one of my key mentors," said Druker. "Dr. Lamfrom was not only an outstanding scientist, but a nurturing and trusted advisor who guided me to the field that she knew would allow me to achieve my greatest potential. This gift in her honor is accepted with great responsibility on my part to help achieve a goal we shared – ending cancer as we know it."
"I can't think of a more fitting tribute to Hildegard Lamfrom than a mentorship program that will cultivate a new generation of scientific minds pushing the boundaries of their field," said OHSU President Joe Robertson, M.D., MBA. "On behalf of all of us at OHSU, I thank Tim and Mary Boyle for helping ensure our most promising young cancer scientists will have the support they need to follow Dr. Lamfrom's inspiring example and make their own lasting marks in advancing human health."
The gift is the latest act of generosity to OHSU from the Boyle family. In 2010, Gert Boyle and Tim and Mary Boyle donated $2.5 million to create the Hildegard Lamfrom Endowed Chair in Basic Science at the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.
This second gift will help meet a bold challenge issued to OHSU by Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife, Penny. The Knights pledged in 2013 to give $500 million to the Knight Cancer Institute if OHSU raised an equal amount by February 2016. Through May 2014, the Knight Cancer Challenge has attracted more than $110 million in gifts and pledges from more than 5,400 donors. The state of Oregon also has agreed to invest an additional $200 million in OHSU facilities needed for the next stage of cancer research and clinical trials.
Brian Druker, M.D., is director of the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute, associate dean for oncology in the OHSU School of Medicine, JELD-WEN Chair of Leukemia Research at OHSU and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator.
About OHSU
Oregon Health & Science University is a nationally prominent research university and Oregon's only public academic health center. It serves patients throughout the region with a Level 1 trauma center and nationally recognized Doernbecher Children's Hospital.

Today, my family and I were watching Mulan, and I mentioned that I've always had a crush on Shang. After going into detail about how I would "marry his sexy voice" I decided to look up this mystery dream man. To my surprise he was played by Donny Osmond. I will never live this down. FML

Ever thrown a party and really struggled to put it all together? Well sometimes its necessary to look back to the old ways to get tips from a more "conservative" era. Like say, hiding under your desk to avoid a nuclear blast, or eating pure lard to avoid getting overweight.
As you watch this rather painful guide to throwing a party, remember this is 1950 and the population were popping out children at a crazy rate. Enjoy!

The first half of 2013 has come and gone, and the first sixth months of this year went fairly smoothly for the UFC.
Now, with the final event of the the second quarter, UFC 161, in the books, the promotion looks ahead to its first event of July, UFC 162, featuring middleweight champion Anderson Silva and top contender Chris Weidman.
But with the Fourth of July event and the latter half of 2013 comes a list of issues and concerns the UFC must face.
From putting together a bantamweight title fight to figuring out whom Daniel Cormier should fight in his final tilt at heavyweight, here are the biggest issues the sport's leading promotion must face in the next six months.

What Would the Animals Say?
If you have children or work with children, you know how much animals fascinate them and how animals feature heavily in children's stories, games and toys. I always think it must be confusing for children when they eventually come to the realisation that much of the food they eat is animal flesh and that the lives of animals on factory farms are not remotely like the rosy or fantastic pictures painted in their storybooks. In addition, less "cuddly" animals are often presented negatively in books, cartoons and films.
Recently, I was pleased to come across a children's book that was a little different. Jane Mann's Give Us a Chance! is a collection of poems about animals who are often feared or disliked but who actually have amazing skills and abilities which children might not know about.
From mouse to magpie, seagull to snail, the animals who are the subjects of these poems are seen in a different light. Each poem is written from the viewpoint of the animals themselves, who appeal to the reader to empathise with them and challenge any preconceptions the reader may have.
Give Us a Chance! is a book which awakens children's interest in animals by showing kids that animals have phenomenal abilities, interests similar to theirs and complex behaviour and needs. Animals are intelligent, are great parents, communicate with each other in complex ways, build shelters without the benefit of tools, find food without having to go to the supermarket and navigate without a compass. They are emotional beings who experience happiness, loneliness, joy, fear and grief, just as we do.
Pig Protest
Reproduced with kind permission of Jane Mann and Vinca Press
I once was nimble, dark and lean,
I roamed through forests, rich with green.
I had a close-knit family,
A life that kept me fit and free.
Then humans caught me for their meat,
And gave me ghastly swill to eat.
They shut me in a narrow crate,
Determined I should put on weight.
I scarce can move or turn around,
My brain and instincts curbed and bound.
I never feel the earth and sun.
I have no place to play, have fun.
By nature I am clean and hate
The dirt in which I'm forced to wait.
Because they've bred me fat and pink,
It doesn't mean I never think.
It doesn't mean that I am thick.
In fact I have a brain as quick
As any dog's if given chance
To show the way I can advance.
Remember, too, pigs share some parts
The same as humans like their hearts.
So humans should not now abuse
My name with all the terms they use,
Like "fat as pig" or "pig in poke",
"Pig-headed", "pig it" for a joke.
It's time to show respect, be kind,
To recognise I have a mind.
I'm not just meat or meant to be
So scratch my back and set me free,
Back to a life to use my brain
To be a natural pig again.
i cant belive people would kill animals for testing why cant they just get animals fur that has fallen of the animal insetd of killing the animals.
That's a wonderful poem, I'm definitely going to look up this book on Amazon.
Although I understand what this poem is saying, and I know it's 100% true and it's right to tell kids about animals qualities…
I found it incredibly disturbing and jam-packed with ugly and horrifying images.
"I scarce can move or turn around,
My brain and instincts curbed and bound."
Yeah, I know this is true and yeah, it's disgusting and if I ever have kids I will bring them up vegan.
All the same, this extract creates a dark, nightmarish and claustrophobic image in my mind and I would never, ever, EVER show my children this poem.
I may only be 16 but if this poem freaked the hell out of me then I'd hate to be a child and be read this by my mum/dad.
I don't know about anyone else, but I have a desperate, trapped feeling about not being able to help every animal in world and it makes me seriously depressed and makes me want to scream all the time.
I'd hate to inflict that on my kids.
I think the point of showing animals good qualities has been lost here, and instead it focuses on the negativity of life for an animal on a meat farm.
"Then humans caught me for their meat"
I found this equally disturbing. You and I know that it IS humans that have done this, but it is unfair to put the blame on a child, who probably hasn't ever eaten meat but nevertheless feels guilty for being human. I know I did, and I'm legally a child and haven't ever eaten meat.
From reading this, I bet you probably think that I would want my children to be ignorant to all of this, but I don't, I just think to intigrate this kind of guilt and fear into a childs mind is wrong. Especially at a very young age as this can lead to serious psychological issues.
Anyway, I'm not saying the poem isn't good, but in my opinion it is something I wouldn't show my kids and definitely not before their bedtime.
Great poem and I highly recommend Benjamin Zephaniah's "Little Book Of Vegan Poems", "Talking Turkeys" and "Funky Chickens."
It is best to participate in a contest for among the best blogs on the web. I will advocate this web site!

Person found at Monroe and Auburn taken to a hospital.
After a reported shooting in central Toledo today, one person was taken to a local hospital, police said.
Officers at the scene, outside Toledo Wireless at Monroe Street and Auburun Avenue, did not know if the victim was actually shot or suffered a different type of injury. The victim was taken to the hospital by Toledo fire paramedics; the victim was found on on sidewalk along Auburn just before 7 a.m., police said.
The injuries did not appear to be life threatening, police said.
A detective from the Toledo Police Department's crime-scene investigations unit marked at least four locations where shell casings were found.
Across Monroe there is a real-time police camera, however it was not known if the shooting was captured. Police ask that anyone with information about the shooting call Crime Stoppers at 419-255-1111.

Publisher's Description
In clearly described themes, this commentary on the book of Luke takes readers on a journey of discovery, finding Jesus Christ, not only the light for Israel, but for people of all nations. As the only Gentile writer found in the New Testament Scriptures, Luke provides a view of Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiahs prophecy: "Arise! Shine! Your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has dawned. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn" (Isaiah 60:1, 3, GWT).
As one of the New Testament volumes in Practical Christianity Foundations Easy-to-Read Commentary series, Luke: Jesus Christ, Savior for the Nations engages readers in an intelligent yet understandable study of Gods Word. It is written in a style that makes Gods Word come to life in a personal, meaningful way.
The study is divided into sections, between six and eight verses, with each section concluding with a "Notes/Applications" passage, which draws practical insight from the related verses that can be applied to the readers Christian walk. The intent is that the reader will complete one section per day, gain a greater understanding of the verses, and be challenged daily toward a deeper commitment to the Lord. Also included at certain points within the text are "Dig Deeper" boxes to assist readers who desire to invest additional time to study topics that relate to the designated section. This study impacts the lives of all believers, regardless of age, ethnicity, or education.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is an important cause of long- term absence from school. It is consequently a disorder that can severely disrupt the lives of adolescents, hindering their education as well as isolating them from friends and social activities.
Current care for chronic fatigue syndrome involves face-to-face Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) but it can be hard to deliver to all those who could benefit from it. The challenge in treating chronic fatigue syndrome is therefore to provide a treatment that has both a high success rate and easy delivery to patients who need it.
Nijhof et al's paper, published recently in The Lancet, has sought to address this issue by devising an internet-based CBT package for chronic fatigue syndrome in adolescents called FITNET. FITNET was provided via a web portal, which both the participants and their parents had access to. There were then 21 CBT-based modules for the participants to complete, while there were also a group of trained therapists on hand to answer queries from participants, who could email them at any time (e-consultations) and especially in emergencies. There were also diaries and reviews of completed modules. The primary objective of the study was school attendance, while self-reported recovery was the secondary outcome. Participants were followed up over a period of 12 months. At both 6 and 12 months, participants on the FITNET program showed significant improvement compared to those under usual care.
The study showed impressive results, with significant improvements in school attendance, physical function, and the presence of severe fatigue, an effect that was sustained over the 12 month period. Overall, 63% of participants involved in the FITNET scheme were reported to have recovered, compared to only 8% in usual care—a success rate for FITNET that is a staggering eight times higher. These results seem to show that FITNET is vastly superior to usual care as a treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome.
But why is there such a huge difference in the results? The most obvious difference is the delivery of the treatment: FITNET is internet- based whereas usual care involves face-to-face therapy. By delivering online, FITNET is able to deliver a much higher dose of treatment to participants: indeed, they and their parents logged onto FITNET a mean number of 255 times; adolescents sent a mean number of 66.6 e-consultations, whilst their parents sent a mean of 22.8. It is therefore able to provide a more supportive care structure with participants receiving more treatment more often (it is certainly impossible to make an equivalent number of face-to-face appointments in a year). It could also be argued that providing treatment over the internet appeals more to the modern adolescent, who is comfortable working on computers and that FITNET removes any of the barriers of face-to-face treatment. The involvement of parents and availability of the service 24 hours a day is also potentially advantageous, although no data is provided to back this up.
This paper is certainly not without problems. The authors could have provided more detail about the treatment received by the usual care group, making comparisons difficult, and the authors also admit that 'there is no universal definition of recovery in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome during therapy', which certainly makes the figure of 63% recovery in patients more open to discussion. However, overall this is an intriguing paper that has taken a novel approach to treating chronic fatigue syndrome, with good results. Perhaps internet-based therapies and digital doctors are the future for delivery of CBT.

Executiveprivilege tops Starlet; Inglorious faces Cal-based runners in Bayakoa
Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who replaced Rafael Bejarano on Game On Dude for last weekend's victory in the Grade 3 Native Diver Stakes, will take over on Executiveprivilege as the filly tries to emulate Killer Graces, who won both the Landaluce and Starlet in 2011.
Baffert will also be represented in the Starlet by impressive first out winner Blonde Fog. The Divine Park filly won by 12 1/2 lengths at the Starlet distance on October 28 at Santa Anita. The bay lass will be taking a huge step up in class with Martin Garcia retaining the mount.
Among those opposing the Baffert duo is Miss Empire, who returns to Cushion Track for trainer Peter Miller after trailing in the Grade 3 Miesque on turf last month. The daughter of Empire Maker broke her maiden in the Cinderella by 4 3/4 lengths in June and will have Keven Krigger, who was aboard for that score, back in the irons.
Earlier on Saturday's card, Ontario-bred Inglorious will make her California debut against seven opponents in the Bayakoa.
Bred and owned by McAnally and his wife, Debbie, Charm the Maker has competed on turf in her past three races, finishing third in the Grade 2 Autumn Miss (formerly Harold C. Ramser Sr.), second in the Unzip and fourth in the Grade 3 Providencia. The Empire Maker filly's only stakes win to date came in last year's Sharp Cat over track and distance.

RUSH: By the way, folks, during all of this that's going on, where is the good news for Obama? I have to jump in here and tell you there isn't any. This is just out from Gallup: Obama 43% approval, 50% negative opinion. This is approaching an all-time low for Obama in Gallup. Now, the conventional wisdom would have it that with a religious fanatic who's going to turn the White House into a Catholic cathedral, Obama ought to be soaring. Unemployment, Gallup has said it's up a tenth of a point. Their last report had unemployment at 9%. They're saying it's 9.1% now. This is Gallup and they've got their own survey to conduct it. But where's the Obama good news? Where is it all? The news on home ownership today -- folks, we've got Obama cutting military health care in half.
The regime's "proposed defense budget calls for military families and retirees to pay sharply more for their healthcare, while leaving unionized civilian defense workers' benefits untouched. The proposal is causing a major rift within the Pentagon." So cutting defense. The housing market, home prices -- what did I read, home prices are now at a low since 1982, or 2002, I forget which. But it's in the tank. And then the Wall Street Journal has a story today on how millionaire homes aren't being foreclosed on as quickly as cheaper homes. Now you would think this is a 99% versus 1% thing. But it's not. The reason that millionaire homes are not being foreclosed on as fast as homes that cost under a million dollars is because those mortgages of homes that cost under a million dollars, they're getting packaged and sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as mortgage-backed securities.
Once again Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are hip deep in the housing crisis. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are hip deep in the reason for it. Foreclosures on average Americans' homes are happening more rapidly than any other foreclosure because there's money in it for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the people selling these mortgages. The way to look at this, if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not involved in this, the foreclosure rate on average American homes would not be anywhere near what it is. So the government is still negativly impacting the housing market.
TheHill.com has a poll, and they are puzzled. They don't understand the poll results because what they've found is, their question, the most appropriate top tax rate for families earning $250,000 or more, 75% of the people said 30% or less. Seventy-five percent of the people in TheHill.com poll do not support tax increases on the rich. But what's fascinating about this question, the question did not tell people what the current tax rate is. The question didn't say, "Today, people who earn 250 grand a year or more pay 35%. What that you think their rate should be?" Didn't mention a rate. It just asked them what is the most appropriate top tax rate and the average Americans, by 75%, said 30%, 5% less than what it is. The people over at The Hill are beside themselves. They're scratching their heads, "What the hell have we done wrong here? For two years we've been hitting the fact the rich aren't paying their fair share. Obama hits it every day. We go out and ask our readers, TheHill.com readers, and they come back and tell us 30% is the most the rich ought to be paying?"
Where is the good news for Obama? There isn't any. Not electoral news. The fact that Afghanistan's in flames, the fact that the housing market's in flames, all that is good news for Obama, and I mean to say that, and I mean what I mean. The chaos and the destruction that's taking place in the American mainstream economy is exactly the recipe for taking control of it, and that's why he likes the chaos. The chaos in the health care sector is precisely why he likes the chaos, so he can take it over under the auspices of fixing it. (imitating Obama) "Well, we'll have to move in here and straighten this out." There's no good electoral news for Obama. Likely voters prefer lower individual and business tax rates, TheHill.com poll. Can't believe it.
RUSH: I got an e-mail here. "Dear Maha Rushie: I'm not arguing anything here. As I have said, 'I gave this primary to God a year ago,' and I hardly read anything about it. But what would you say to people who deeply believe that Santorum is really no different from Newt in his so-called conservatism, which is basically big government-driven? No experience in the private sector. Big government, big spender. Santorum's just a little more personally moral than Newt. Just asking. What would you say to somebody who thought that?"
Easy: Vote Romney, if that's what you think.
Not hard. If you think Santorum's a big spender, if you think he's big government guy -- he doesn't know what he's doing, no private sector experience; nothing but the government this, the government that -- vote Romney. Vote Ron Paul. I mean, you've got two choices. I'm gonna leave Obama out. I don't think anybody wants to vote Obama, but vote Romney if that's what you think. That's what I would tell you.
Economic news: "Home Prices Continue Slide as Winter Adds to Slowdown -- Durable goods demand falls the most in three years, down 4%." Remember, Stanley Greenberg, the memo last week came out from the Democracy Group (that's his polling unit for Democrats) warning Obama: If you guys think that you can convince the American people the economy is roaring back and win on that, you've got another thinking coming because you can't; because it isn't, and the American people know it. They're not living it. Home prices continue slide. Their houses are being foreclosed on while the 1% homes aren't. "Durable Goods Demand Falls the Most in Three Years," and, "Will Gas Prices Stall the Economy?" Let's not forget that.
That's a major factor in economic news. Can't take it out of the equation.

Posted on 03/21/2012 4:18:49 AM PDT by expat1000
We can see and smell the uh, uh, Baroness of Death touring the death camps (Auschwitz), marveling at German efficiency and superiority. Yes, the Baroness of Death, with her European titles and transnational EUroid position, designating savages and bloodthirsty barbarians a status equivalent to that of their long-suffering victims.
EU's Ashton: Children killed in Toulouse and Gaza AFP March 19 (hat tip Atlas readers)
European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton compared the children who were murdered in Monday's shooting attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France with children who are killed in Gaza.
"When we think about what happened today in Toulouse, we remember what happened in Norway last year, we know what is happening in Syria, and we see what is happening in Gaza and other places," Ashton said on the sidelines of a meeting of Palestinian youths in Brussels.
Ashton hailed the young Palestinians, who "against all odds, continue to learn, work, dream and aspire to a better future."
Ashton. No-one ever voted for her: she never did a days work in her life except sell her soul to Big Socialism.
Ask yourself this question as a thought experiment. Would you rather wake up tomorrow in a country with all of the Jews gone or wake up in one with all of the muslims gone.

What a despicable comment, what a despicable philosophy
absolutely horrifying that europeans like this woman serve as political reps, there truly is a strain of insanity in so-called civilized europeans
to defend a man who grabbed a 7 yr old FRENCH child by her hair and shot her in the head as she pleaded, then shot her twice more as she was down, then shot a little boy crawling on his hands and knees away from his dead father and little brother
WTH does Norway have to do with this? Anders Brevik was a far right wing neonazi-loving sociopath.
If this ugly soulless woman had been there on the scene to admire eithee of these sociopath killers, either would have put a bullet through her tiny brain

It is horrifying. And Brevik has been declared insane. He will not stand trial. A complete non-sequitur.
Baroness looks like a dumb nanny goat with a rabbit's teeth.
I can understand how someone who is naive would make the Norway comparison. However, anyone with a brain would realize that Brevik was a Norweigan who BELONGED in the country. This guy is an Al Qaeda sympatheizer. Unfortunately, Muslim immigrants of this stripe seem to have no trouble getting into Europe. Heck...most European countries actually subsidize the influx of these people. And traitor politicians, like "Red Ken" Livingstone are pandering to 'em.
The policies that made this atrocity possible, as well as the "moral equivalence" response seen here are yet another example of how Europe is commiting suicide. In the end, the European elites will ignore the elephant in their living room and blame the whole thing on Israeli induced Islamic rage.
Pam Geller for President!
The Day Europe Died
And beer breath and a five o'clock shadow.
"...compared the children who were murdered in Monday's shooting attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France with children who are killed in Gaza."
With all of the rocket attacks and suicide bombers originating with the Jewish families in Toulouse, this kind of thing is bound to happen. /sarc
The result of inbreeding. I believe incest is legal in France as long as it's consensual.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Wonder if anyone in the current "Conservative" British government has blasted her for those pro-Islamist remarks comparing the murders in Toulose to deaths of Pali children in Gaza.
Pam Geller
OMG, just so absolutely NOT GUILTY
I'm reading now that the Chief Rabbi of Moscow and the President of the Conference of European Rabbis are reacting to this massacre by calling on European governments to do more to protect "minorities."
Excuse me???
Jews are under attack because they are Jews, not because they are "minorities."
It's time Jews stopped being "minorities" and became Jews again . . . like Yehoshu`a Bin Nun and Pinechas.
She's a fine combination of beauty, smarts, and spunk.
..and European white-Christians live in a fantasy that Arab-Muslims will just leave them alone...
It may be too much to expect, but hopefully there could be some kind of awakening of the native French population as a lesson from this disaster, since the same perp who killed the four Jews in Toulouse is said to have killed killed three French military men days earlier. Maybe, just maybe, they can connect the dots.
I agree with that.
Jews should quickly leave the graveyards of Europe....Europe will drown under the raw sewage of TROP.....
All European Life Died In Auschwitz
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez
Source: http://www.science.co.il/Arab-Israeli-conflict/Articles/Rodriguez-2005-09-23.asp
I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned. And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.
They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into a third world, drowning in filth and crime. Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts. And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs. What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.
These people's brains must be black with rot as they are not capable of thinking reasonable, decent thoughts.
A good article! At least in parts of Eastern Europe(long the victims of multiple Islamic invasions and incursions) there is a strong resistance to TROP...
Stupid and Ugly - not a good combo. How do people like this become the foreign minister for the Euro nuts? Scary.

Karee Van Runkle left the boys with her husband, Pete, that first year and drove Downtown alone.
She hadn't registered for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, but she wanted to be near other women who understood.
She was 40, and "cancer survivor" was new to the list of ways you could describe Karee.
That was in 2000. She was a happy and busy mom of three boys — the youngest, Brian, was just 5. She was (and is) gregarious. She was (and is) a hoot, a lover of birds and trees and adventure.
Now, she was also a woman who'd had breast cancer, like so many others who gathered that day with their joy and their tears and their hearts open to one another. "I just watched," Karee recalled. "Hung out. It was so inspiring to see all those people. It just makes you so full of strength and empowerment."
Since then, there have been so many Race for the Cure memories: Karee's mother, in her late 60s, walking before she died of breast cancer in 2002. The first walk without her mother.
There have been races during good stretches, and races after bad news: another lump, cancer in her bone, a suspicious spot in her liver.
But always, she's gone to have fun, to hug and to high-five.
"There's nothing sad about it. I'd rather do that than go to Cedar Point. It's a celebration," she said.
Karee, who is 54 and lives in New Albany, walked yesterday with her husband (she calls him her saint); her two older boys (Drew is 28, Alan is 25); her sister and brother-in-law, Kim and Dave Hiser; and her niece Katie Hiser.
Alan pulled her close for a good chunk of their walk, and they spoke quietly in the midst of a raucous crowd. Karee told him how much it meant to have him there. She put her head into his shoulder and beamed.
"Right here are the people I fight for," she said shortly after.
Yesterday's race fell at a particularly unsteady point in Karee's life, four days after she and Pete watched out the window at Port Columbus as Brian, now 20, flew to Georgia for Army basic training at Fort Benning. It will be 10 weeks until they see him again.
Before he boarded the plane, she reminded him that they are under the same moon. They promised each other that in times of difficulty they'll remember what the other is doing and find strength in that. As she photographed the jet leaving Ohio, a rainbow appeared in the background.
On Mother's Day, Brian gave Karee a letter. He told her to remember that he's living his dream when she misses him, that her example has given him the strength to succeed.
Drew said he had to miss some race years when he was involved in sports in school, but he still has plenty of shirts to mark his family's long history in Race for the Cure.
"It's just so cool to come down and see the sea of people," he said. "Especially since my grandma passed, it has become more emotional and at the same time it's more inspirational."
Alan called the years of races and the time in between "a long journey."
"She doesn't have very many really good days, unfortunately," he said as his mother stopped to hug a stranger, a woman grieving the recent loss of her sister.
In early June, Karee expects to undergo a procedure called ablation aimed at stalling the growth of a tumor in her liver.
She's just finished a round of chemotherapy that was brutal. She's thin (but gaining weight) at 104 pounds, struggles to find her balance and sometimes dozes off before the sun has set.
She's losing her fingernails. She bruises easily. Tears stream down her cheeks even when she's not laughing or crying.
Last year, when she underwent another type of chemo, Karee lost her ability to taste a juicy burger, smell freshly cut spring grass. She misses both and tries to will herself to remember.
But she's doing what she's done all along — trying to ride these things out with a focus on what matters and a distaste for self-pity. She is grateful to the point of tears for her family, for her life and for her faith.
"I rant. I rave. I have my crying fits. But I get them over with and get them done," she said. " I can almost be Pollyanna to the point of annoyance.
"I can walk. I can still walk. I can listen to the birds at the lake. I just have to find new happiness."
Karee stopped to hug more than one stranger yesterday. They all seemed better for it.
"Today gives her energy, and you see the support of all the other people and you don't feel alone," Alan said.
Komen organizers asked Karee this year to drive a convertible pace car to start the race and to speak at the survivor ceremony after the last walkers — including a dancing, smiling, fist-pumping Karee — cleared the finish line.
When she spoke to the women around her and to the people who love them, she spoke of Komen's role in advancing treatment, including a breast-cancer drug that she believes has made the difference for her.
"I believe Herceptin, which Komen was huge in funding, I'm sure that's a lot of the reason I'm here today," she said.
"I'm going to be here for the next one and the next one."
The day before, as she reflected on what she's been through and where she's headed, Karee said: " We all have our time and our time is set before us, and we do with it whatever we can while we're here. It's a good life. It's a wonderful life. Every day is a beautiful day."
In the last moments of yesterday's survivor ceremony, the sun finally won out over the clouds. Karee beamed and headed for lunch and a cocktail with most of the people she loves best.

Due to the poor sound quality of the previous CityDesk online demo, I decided to invest in a real studio quality microphone instead of using one of those cheap computer headset/mike combinations.
It took me a while to figure out what I needed. The mike itself is a Shure SM58, probably one of the most popular professional microphones in use today and generally available for about $100.
I bought the Mic from Sam Ash on 48th street, hoping that they would be able to get me the right combination of cables and adapters I needed to plug this thing into a standard sound card. The stoner DJ sales dude sounded very confident but he didn't tell me that I needed a preamp, and he gave me the wrong kind of cables.
If you're trying to do this yourself, here's exactly what I have:
The sound quality is really quite a bit better. Here are two MP3s, before (with the computer mike) and after (with the professional mike).

Posts Tagged 'Hosni Mubarak'
Is this what Obama wanted for our U.S. ally? Mubarek defends himself in a cage at his death penalty trial
So this is what happens to you if you are a loyal ally of the United States when Barack Obama is President. The U.S. turns on you. You then end up in a kangaroo court show trial. You are then hanged by the neck until dead.
The 83-year-old Hosni Mubarak is now lying in a bed in a cage as his trial is being broadcast on national Egyptian TV. Either way, Mubarek looks like he's on death's doorstep.
Mubarek was far from being an ideal leader. But except for Israel, Mubarek was America's best ally in the Middle East. Now he's on trial for murdering the 800 anti-Mubarek protesters.
But that's a big part of what governments do, including our own — kill people. Our government has certainly killed a lot of people (including innocent civilians) during the past decade in Iraq and Afghanistan. So should our Presidents be put on trial?
Mubarek's trial in a cage and coming execution will certainly make it very tough to convince dictators and strongmen to exit power in the future — if this is what happens to them. Not that Mubarek was even a dictator by Middle East standards.
No wonder Muammar Gaddafi is fighting to the death to avoid this fate.
Obama's foreign policy is so misguided, so incompetent that it borders on criminal. Who in their right mind would would to be an ally of the United States after this?
Mubarak faces death penalty trial for alleged murder of protesters
Another U.S. ally finds out what happens to you if you are a U.S. ally
BEN SAYS: This sure will make it tough to get dictators to step aside in the future. Mubarak (a U.S. ally who stepped aside after a few days of protests) will now be tried for capital murder, punishable by death. Look for Qaddafi now to fight to the finish. Where were all these charges against Mubarak before now? Before all this (though clearly no Jeffersonian Democrat), he was said to be a pretty decent U.S. ally and, if not a friend, at least not interested in erasing Israel.
Looks like a Kafkaesque Kangaroo court show trial coming up. Under this reasoning, should Obama be tried for killing innocent Afghan and Pakistani tribesmen in error via killer drone and other military assaults.
Come to think of it, aren't all governments killing innocent people all the time, sometimes in error? It's called collateral damage . . . or breaking a few eggs to make an omelette. Some U.N. Committee on torture wants to prosecute Donald Rumsfeld and George W. Bush for the same thing. idiotic.
REUTERS: Hosni Mubarak was ordered on Tuesday to stand trial for the killing of protesters and could face the death penalty, scotching speculation the former leader would be spared public humiliation by Egypt's military rulers.
Mubarak, ousted on February 11 after mass demonstrations demanding he end his 30 years in power, has been questioned for his role in a crackdown that led to the killing of more than 800 demonstrators and has been probed over corruption.
The public prosecutor said Mubarak, who is detained in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, would be tried on charges including "pre-meditated killing," which could be punished by the death penalty.
CBS News reporter Lara Logan sexually assaulted by mob in Cairo
HOWARD KURTZ-DAILY BEAST: The hard-charging CBS News correspondent was attacked in Tahrir Square, sexually assaulted, and hospitalized.
Lara Logan had already been arrested in Egypt when she decided to go back for what turned out to be the closest call of a danger-filled career.
CBS News disclosed that Logan was surrounded in Tahrir Square and "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers." She was hospitalized upon her return to the United States.
CBS NEWS: On Friday, Feb. 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.
Obama learned of Mubarak resignation from TV
ASSOCIATED PRESS: President Barack Obama declared Friday the peaceful departure of Hosni Mubarak as Egypt's president marked "a beginning" holding the promise of greater democracy for the world's most populous Arab nation. But he added soberly, "There will be difficult days ahead."
Indeed, while Obama and other U.S. officials voiced optimism, they were also concerned over who will end up in control of the Egypt and whether the United States will emerge with the kind of stable partner it badly needs in the volatile Middle East.
Also at issue: whether the unrest that brought down Mubarak will spread to other nations in the Middle East, including oil-rich autocratic neighbors, and whether the Egyptian military will make good on its pledge of promoting free and fair elections.
At the White House, Obama's words were alternately celebratory and cautious after Mubarak ended three decades of iron rule and turned over his authority to the military.
Military Coup in Egypt Rocks Middle East. White House in Disarray
How is a military takeover historic or democratic?
STRAFOR GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE: Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman delivered the following statement Feb. 11: "In the name of God the merciful, the compassionate, citizens, during these very difficult circumstances Egypt is going through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to step down from the office of president of the republic and has charged the high council of the armed forces to administer the affairs of the country. May God help everybody."
Suleiman's statement is the clearest indication thus far that the military has carried out a coup led by Defense Minister Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi. It is not clear whether Suleiman will remain as the civilian head of the army-led government. Egypt is returning to the 1952 model of ruling the state via a council of army officers. The question now is to what extent the military elite will share power with its civilian counterparts.
At a certain point, the opposition's euphoria will subside and demands for elections will be voiced. The United States, while supportive of the military containing the unrest, also has a strategic need to see Egypt move toward a more pluralistic system.
ASSOCIATED PRESS: Egypt's Hosni Mubarak resigned as president and handed control to the military on Friday after 29 years in power, bowing to a historic 18-day wave of pro-democracy demonstrations by hundreds of thousands. "The people ousted the president," chanted a crowd of tens of thousands outside his presidential palace in Cairo.
Several hundred thousand protesters massed in Cairo's central Tahrir Square exploded into joy, cheering and waving Egyptian flags. Fireworks, car horns and celebratory shots in the air were heard around the city of 18 million in joy after Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement on national TV just after nightfall.

Egypt: Obama's Foreign Policy Disaster
LEO RENNERT-AMERICAN THINKER: Barack Obama is turning himself into a case study of how a U.S. president should not conduct foreign policy. With his propensity to constantly seek the spotlight, Obama has morphed into commentator-in-chief when it comes to the still unfolding crisis in Egypt.
Instead of keeping a low profile, weighing developments and not sticking his neck out amid fast-changing events on the ground, Obama feels it necessary to issue a spate of public pronouncements that are quickly overtaken by what's really happening in Cairo and other Egyptian cities.
The self-made hubris that afflicts Obama was dramatically illustrated on Feb. 10 when, in anticipation of a public address by Hosni Mubarak that the media touted beforehand as a formal farewell, Obama didn't even wait to hear what the Egyptian leader would say and, during a trip to Michigan, began exulting that Mubarak was about to follow the script Obama had devised for him. So Obama told the world that we were about to see history unfold before our eyes and witness a historically transformational moment.
CIA Director Panetta Based His Announcement that Mubarak was Resigning on Media Reports
BEN SAYS: Why are we paying for a CIA that get's its intelligence from U.S. media reports? I mean, your humble blogger here can read the U.S. media too, and I don't cost anything close to what the CIA costs taxpayers.
BUSINESS INSIDER: Want to know why Obama was completely blindsided by Mubarak'sannouncement that he wasn't resigning?
Turns out CIA director Leon Panetta, who told lawmakers on Capitol Hill yesterday that there was "a strong likelihood that Mubarak may step down this evening" was taking many of his cues from what the American media was broadcasting.
Look at these reports from both the WSJ and the NYT.
ASSOCIATED PRESS: CIA Director Leon Panetta incorrectly predicted Thursday that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak could step down by day's end, even as he and other top U.S. intelligence officials defended their work interpreting swift-moving political upheaval in the Middle East.
Mubarak to Obama: Butt Out
In other words, this loyal and important U.S. friend now hates us, thanks to incompetent Obama.
BARRY RUBIN-NY DAILY NEWS: President Hosni Mubarak's speech is the equivalent of Gary Cooper, Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood sneering, "You want power? Come and get it!"
He may be a dictator but he is one tough dude.
Or maybe he is a dictator because he is one tough dude. The most important thing spoken during this whole crisis was when Mubarak told President Obama that he didn't understand Egyptian (Arab) culture.
Mubarak meant that in Arab culture you don't give an inch unless you are prepared to have your enemy take a mile. If you back down, you're kicked down. Once that process starts the result is not a slippery slope, it's an avalanche. Unlike the American leadership, Mubarak and his colleagues know that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a group of social welfare advocates or moderate reformers.
They have watched as one place after another – Iran, the Gaza Strip, and then Lebanon – has fallen to revolutionary Islamists. And they saw how in nearby Algeria when the gates of power were opened the result was a civil war in which tens of thousands of people died.
Bravo Chris Matthews! Blasts Obama for betraying loyal U.S. ally Mubarak
I could not have said this better myself. Bravo Chris Matthews for telling the truth on this. Tingle gone from leg.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
The result of Obama's treachery here will almost certainly be the replacement of Mubarak by an anti-American, hardline Muslim regime. There are no democratic institutions or traditions in Egypt. The radical Muslim Brotherhood is the only organized alternative, and it is poised to pounce on this opportunity to seize power.
Israel shocked by Obama's betrayal of U.S. and Israel ally Mubarak
REUTERS: If Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is toppled, Israel will lose one of its very few friends in a hostile neighborhood and President Barack Obama will bear a large share of the blame, Israeli pundits said on Monday.
Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades, simply to conform to the current ideology of political correctness.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers of the Jewish state to make no comment on the political cliffhanger in Cairo, to avoid inflaming an already explosive situation. But Israel's President Shimon Peres is not a minister.
"We always have had and still have great respect for President Mubarak," he said on Monday. He then switched to the past tense. "I don't say everything that he did was right, but he did one thing which all of us are thankful to him for: he kept the peace in the Middle East."

Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol
As you grow older, the fluid contained within the chambers of your eyes may gradually and imperceptibly increase. This has been shown to contribute to a host of unwanted age-related vision issues encountered by millions of aging Americans.
In a significant scientific advance, researchers have found that a proprietary blend widely available in Europe called Mirtogenol may effectively support eye pressure already within healthy range as you age.
At the core of Mirtogenol's eye health-promoting power are two standardized, proprietary phytonutrient (plant-based) compounds: Mirtoselect European bilberry extract and Pycnogenol French Maritime Pine bark extract.
In a 2010 human study, Mirtogenol induced up to a 24% reduction in already-healthy eye pressure and extracts of French Maritime Pine bark and bilberry have long been shown to promote healthy blood flow in multiple areas of the body.
Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol may support healthy blood flow within the tiny vessels (microvasculature) of your eyes, helping to promote healthy fluid pressure inside the ocular chamber.

Started using this for occasional eye bleeds - and it works! I am a kidney transplant patient and I prednisone seems to cause eye pressure problems. When I get a bleed I take this immediately and follow with another about 6 hours later and my bleed is significantly minimized if not gone in 1-2 days rather than 5-10! This stuff works!!!
I have been taking these now for a couple of weeks and already I am amazed at how my sight without my glasses has improved. It hasn't totally brought my vision back 20/20 I still need to wear my glasses but not as often I get so amazed when I can see peoples faces clear enough without wearing my glasses.
