What's gone right?
Almost everything.
The Blue Devils have beaten three teams currently ranked in the top 10, a Kentucky squad that was in the top five at the time and a VCU club that's just outside the top 25.
Mason Plumlee has become the All-America candidate coach Mike Krzyzewski believed he could be, and Seth Curry has taken his game to a higher level. Along with fellow senior Ryan Kelly, they've provided better veteran leadership than a year ago, and sophomore Quinn Cook has been a steadying force at point guard.
Freshman guard Rasheed Sulaimon is as good as advertised, and the Blue Devils are getting double-digit minutes off the bench from juniors Tyler Thornton and Josh Hairston.
What's gone wrong?
A preseason foot injury has limited 6-foot-11 redshirt freshman Marshall Plumlee to three total minutes over two appearances, and Curry continues to deal with a shin injury that is expected to bother him all season. Aside from those health issues, 6-8 forward Alex Murphy has gone from a potential starter to a reserve who has played more than six minutes in only two games, and 6-8 freshman Amile Jefferson has totaled three minutes in the last two contests.
With size on the bench, Duke could stand to improve at defensive rebounding, as evidenced by the 14 second-chance points Davidson scored in the first half Wednesday.
What's ahead?
Duke visits N.C. State after opening ACC play at home against Wake Forest and Clemson. From Jan. 30 through February, the Blue Devils are on the road six times in nine games, with the Wolfpack, North Carolina and Boston College traveling to Durham.
Picked to win the ACC by the media and slotted sixth in the first Associated Press poll, N.C. State faced some expectations that, in hindsight, seemed a bit out of step for a team still very much adjusting to life as a heavyweight. But as the Wolfpack heads into conference play, there's little reason to think that it can't eventually deliver on some of those predictions.
The Wolfpack didn't drop a game in December, rattling off seven-straight victories including wins against UConn and Stanford. More importantly, it saw the emergence of senior forward Richard Howell, who has become the steadying element on a team that has been historically prone to inconsistency.
It wouldn't be a proper N.C. State season without some angst.
This season, it came in the form of a week-and-a-half stretch that saw the Wolfpack get blown out by Oklahoma State in a tournament in Puerto Rico, have a shaky outing against UNC-Asheville and then lose a hard-fought decision at Michigan.
Since then, the Wolfpack hasn't lost. And, in the wake of the mini-slump, several Wolfpack players have said that the stretch actually proved beneficial, calling it a needed wake-up call.
Things get interesting early for the Wolfpack. While ACC play starts today, it's Duke's visit to PNC Arena on Jan. 12 when the league race truly gets revved up. By the time the Tar Heels pay a visit to Raleigh later this month, it should be in high gear.
A victory against Xavier in the Skip Prosser Classic was one of the few bright spots in what has been a worrisome nonconference period for the Demon Deacons. The six freshmen who see regular playing time have progressed, albeit slowly. Senior guard C.J. Harris and junior forward Travis McKie continue to put up solid numbers, but the Demon Deacons are off the pace they set last season, when they won nine games before league play began.
If Jeff Bzdelik's third season in Winston-Salem is going to be the one when the Demon Deacons finally turn the corner, it doesn't look like it yet. Prior to beating Xavier - which faces struggles of its own - the Demon Deacons' best victory came against Mercer.
Wake faces major woes when it comes to rebounding (12 ACC in rebound margin) and defense (ninth in scoring defense). Meanwhile, outside of McKie and Harris, no other player has stepped up to become a consistent offensive threat. McKie and Harris have combined for 19 double-figure scoring efforts while the rest of the team has 18.
At least Wake Forest gets some of the hard stuff out of the way quickly. A trip to Duke today will test the fragile momentum built up by a three-game winning streak. However, after a home date with Virginia, Boston College and Clemson pop up on the schedule, providing a bit of an easier stretch.
After losing four first-round draft picks from an Elite Eight team, the Tar Heels needed to complete the nonconference schedule with their confidence intact. They played three true road games, winning at Long Beach State, and competed with a sense of urgency last weekend during a home victory against then-No. 20 UNLV.
Injured starter Reggie Bullock sat out that contest, and UNC ranks fourth nationally in scoring offense at 83.6 points per game even though freshman point guard Marcus Paige hasn't played particularly well.
Ranked No. 11 in the preseason, North Carolina has looked mediocre during many of its home wins over inferior foes and overmatched in all three losses. It trailed by 29 points against Butler in Maui, by 32 at Indiana and by 19 in the first half at Texas.
It's troubling that the Tar Heels still haven't figured out if they're better off going small or using a second post player to complement James Michael McAdoo, who has started alongside three inconsistent forwards.
UNC hasn't rebounded well by its standards, been aggressive enough offensively or hit enough free throws when it draws fouls.
The victory against UNLV improves the NCAA tournament resume of a team with no other eye-opening wins outside the ACC, but the Tar Heels appear to have a difficult league schedule.
They play Virginia Tech, Clemson, Boston College and Wake Forest only once in the new 18-game format, and the last three schools could finish 10th, 11th and 12th.
Maryland (12-1) and Georgia Tech (10-2) enter league play with pretty records and no egregious losses, but little in the way of impressive wins. It remains to be seen if they'll stick near the top of the standings.
Virginia (10-3) and Miami (9-3) have shown that they can look like potential ACC factors at points. But head-scratching losses - Virginia lost to Delaware, Old Dominion and George Mason, while Miami lost to Florida Gulf Coast and Indiana State - create plenty of doubt.
The bottom half of the ACC is as shaky as it's been since the league expanded nearly a decade ago. Boston College (8-5) and Clemson (8-4) have already racked up some downright painful nonconference losses. The Eagles dropped games to Harvard and Bryant while the Tigers' lowest moment came when they were blown out at Coastal Carolina.
Meanwhile, two teams that created positive buzz recently have hit stumbles. Florida State has followed up its ACC tournament title with a thud. Facing loads of roster turnover, the Seminoles (8-5) have losses to, among others, South Alabama and Mercer. Under first year coach James Johnson, Virginia Tech (9-4) rattled off seven-straight victories. But since then, the Hokies have gone 2-4 with blowout losses to Colorado State and BYU as well as a home loss to Georgia Southern.
With games against Miami and at N.C. State in the first week of league play, a verdict on Georgia Tech could be reached soon. Maryland heads to Miami on Jan. 13 for what should be a tough early test.

Background EGFR is a cell-surface receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF-family) of extracellular protein ligands. It is a member of the ErbB family of receptors, a subfamily of four closely related receptor tyrosine kinases: EGFR (ErbB-1), HER2/c-neu (ErbB-2), Her 3 (ErbB-3) and Her 4 (ErbB-4). Besides EGF, the protein is also a receptor for other proteins like amphiregulin, betacellulin, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, GP30 and vaccinia virus growth factor. The protein is involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation. The protein is usually expressed in placenta. Mutations affecting EGFR expression or activity could result in cancer. Human EGFR gene is mapped to chromosome 7p12.
Antigen This antibody was generated by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to human EGFR around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine 869 (K-E-YP-H-A).

I have written the rules for a new game system and I need players to see how smoothly it runs.
I know this site is mostly freeform, but it beats trying to run it past a bunch of Encyclopedia Arcana students... aka D&D 3.5 fans. It IS a mechanical system requiring dice rolls and character sheets, but it is a bold new move in the direction of storytelling rather than killing things. This system is designed as a generic system open to any and every genera you can think of. I am also planning on releasing add-ons in order to cover popular movies and etc...
Being that there are a great many aspects to cover, I figured I would run the game in a story I am familiar with. It is a high-fantasy with technology and a wide spectrum of issues the characters might face.
If anybody is interested, let me know.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this tent because it got great reviews on being spacious and dry. I have been living out of it for four and a half months in the National Forest in the Rockies of Colorado. In the course of four and a half months I stayed dry through every single monsoon. Amazingly easy to set up, wonderfully spacious, and quality materials. I had a bear try to break into my tent and unfortunately broke my pole system. Even though "bear damage" isn't covered by warranty BD stuck by their product and sent me new ones no questions asked and free.
Hands down awesome tent. Only complaint is it's pretty heavy. For the size, double wall construction, and ease of setup... worth it.
Awesome 3 or 4 man tent

This is our family default tent for bike, car, or backpack camping. Fits 3 adults with room and vestibule of 4 kids. Durable, light-ish, and pretty good during summer as a bug tent with no fly. Never tired it in winter but for a 3 season tent its hard to beat. Luxury for sure, but worth it if you are carrying a double wall tent.

Member since
Could someone tell me if the head and foot ends of the tent are steeply sloped, how much useable space is there length wise? I'm over 6'3", would I have room to spare with a thick sleeping mat under me and a high lofting sleeping bag?
Matt Towner
Member since
The head and foot ends have a reasonable slope (maybe 5" every foot of rise) for the first couple feet. Your bag will touch tent wall at the feet, but you'll have plenty of room to comfortably sprawl out.
BlackDiamond Vista = Best 3 man tent

This is the only 3 man tent I've found that actually fits 3 men comfortably. I have used it on several hikes in the Tetons and mountains of central Idaho. We've been in all types of weather and have never had issues. The set up is incredibly easy.
A few weeks ago I purchased the footprint for this tent. Upon receiving it, my two boys and I decided to sleep outside using just the footprint and rain fly. That's when I found out my boys had stored the rain fly wet after their last excursion. It was covered in mildew and smelled terrible. Oddly enough, the tent was absolutely fine. I called Black Diamond to see if I could purchase just the rain fly, since I knew it wasn't a warranty issue. They put me into warranties anyway and a guy named Eric informed me that they have found several instances of the tents purchased around 2010 having this problem. He told me to ship it back and they would replace it with a complete new Vista. All I'm paying for is the return shipping. Plus he told me I could keep all my stakes and poles. They just want the tent and fly. Awesome customer service by Black Diamond, especially when it wasn't expected.
Amazing tent

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Pros: I really like this tent. It is lightweight for amount of floorspace it has. It is rock solid in high wind, when properly tied down.
Cons: It is kind of annoying that the poles are one huge piece. Zipper can get stuck in the rain fly quite a bit, but can easily be avoided.
Black diamond has great customer service. Hard not to support this company.

I did a lot of research before settling on this tent and I couldn't be more pleased. Our very first night in the High Country a dynamic storm came rolling through. I wasn't really prepared for the wind and so had minimally staked the tent, but it held up fantastic. It also didn't even blink at the torrential downpour we had. In fact the whole trip I was warm and dry. I bought this tent specifically to fit my cot, as I'm not a hardcore on the floor camper, and believe me it is a perfect one woman tent. Plenty of room for all my stuff.

The stitching on the Velcro closure of the vestibule door failed on the first night we used the tent. It would be a simple thing to fix, but it is an indication of poor workmanship, and leads to a loss of faith in the quality of the tent. We sent it back. The return process is very easy - Backcountry.com has superb customer service.

Member since
I'm tossing up between the Vista here and its 2-man equivalent, the BD Mesa. At the end of the day, its predominant use will probably be car camping with my girlfriend as well as perhaps some casual multidayers where weight isn't going to be so crucial.
I'm impressed, borderline amazed at the size specs on the Vista, especially important considering I'm 6'6", but I'm wondering if the weight of the Mesa will make it a more versatile tent for a camping/back-packing crossover.
I guess what I'm wondering is whether it would be better to go for the roomier Vista and then when needed purchase a smaller, lighter, backcountry specific tent - or, try to get the best of both worlds with the Mesa - lighter, but suffer on size... Specialize or generalize? Thoughts anyone? Cheers

Member since
Get two tents. You'll do it eventually anyway so get a comfy one for car camping and add the lightweight backpacking tent later. Those pounds/ounces do add up at the end of a long day of backpacking.
Phil Maher
Member since
The eternal conflict between car camping comfort and backcounty weight. This one isn't too bad for being a 3-person, so of the many choices you could make that would serve both purposes, this one could easily be a top candidate in the weight/price dept. (but you will have to seal all your own seams by hand). Although, if that second backpacking tent is definitely in your future anyway, and you want to mostly focus on the car camping at this point, also check out the Mountain Hardwear Hammerhead 3.
Member since
I'm considering getting the Vista for mostly spacious 2-person hiking/camping but with the option of bringing a 3rd person along. I don't think it's too heavy for two people to hike with and all that extra space would be awesome!

Great tent
Member since
It's a little bulky, but the weight to size ratio is amazing! I'm 6'3" and have no problem stretching out without butting into the sides, and there is more than enough room for me, my wife and our 3 large dogs.Last weekend we were in a torrential downpour with gusting winds in every direction at 12,000', and everything inside the tent and vestibules stayed bone dry. Some of the user photos make the rain fly look loose and flimsy, but there's no problem cinching it down tight as a drum.Aired it out in advance and no bug issues. The only criticism, as others have noted, is that the vestibule doors seem to be on the wrong side in relation to the tent door, so you have to open the tent door completely to get through the vestibule door. No big deal, but I would expect BD to reconfigure the set up.Highly recommended!
Black Diamond Vista 3 in the Tetons
Member since
Great tent. Allowed the "air out" suggestion and zero bug problems. Plenty of room for me and my two sons. Probably could have fit one more kid if necessary. It rained during the night and I jumped out and had the fly on and vestibules staked (tied to a boulder on one side due to rocky ground) in a matter of a few minutes. Our packs and foot gear stayed nice and dry. Great performance and room. Paid $299. Love this tent.

This tent has been through the wind, light snow, ice & rain, and some basic warmer spring/fall weather, too. Performed perfect and as expected in all situations. I use the ground cloth with it as precipitation seems to follow me everywhere I pack. Sets up very quickly, even in rain, and everything stays dry. Ice popped right off, although the poles did get a little difficult to take down due to the ice build up at the connections. Still, it's up and down in a cinch.
There is plenty of room inside the tent for clothes and small items. In my case, I could fit a pack in there (had I wanted to) because I use a petite bag. The zippers were easy to use and I cannot stress how easy set up was.
Cons: It is a heavier tent because of its size and solidness. A minimalist probably needs to look for something different. It can easily be split between packs to lessen its bulk and weight.
Every time I go backpacking, I see at least one more of these tents on trail or in camp.
Great three season tent!

Recently took this tent on a 10 day trip in Rocky Mountain National Park with two friends and it worked perfectly. Plenty of space for three guys plus gear at our feet. Great tent in all conditions - it dropped to about 25 this night on the mountain, but we stayed nice and warm! Would definitely recommend buying the tent - it's light for its size and well built.

Diffidently. First 3 man tent I've found that actually comfortably fits 3 men. My 2 teen boys and I have used it on multiple camping/hiking trips. Best tent I've ever owned.

very goodPros: Work right out box Cons: Na Did you find this review helpful? |
WorksPros: It's a digital adapter. For the most part these either work or don't work. This one does the job just fine for my dual monitor setup. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Got this for $6 with a promo code. Cheap and well worth it! Did you find this review helpful? |
It worksPros: I use it to connect the second monitor (DVI) with my computer (HDMI). I works well. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
It Works!Pros: It works, cord is flexable Cons: none found Did you find this review helpful? |
Flaming whirlwind.Pros: Works. Good cable. Cons: gooby pls Did you find this review helpful? |
works perfectPros: Going from DVI to HDMI, great price. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Needed to hook up my new monitor that only had vga and hdmi inputs. 1920 x 1080p. looks really good once I got it dialed in. Did you find this review helpful? |
To those complaining about no sound...Pros: The cable is completely reliable. Produces a genuinely crisp image on multiple displays and resolutions. Cons: None. Love the cable. Other Thoughts: Alright, so you're complaining about the hdmi portion not carrying sound... DVI doesn't carry any audio signals, so even with the HDMI end, you're not going to get an audio to your monitor with speakers or HDTV. You need to run a separate set of cables to run audio. It just simply won't happen with DVI. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Definitely worth the moneyPros: I have two of these connected to my computers Video Card. One, a 15 foot, feeds the picture from there to my 32 inch TV. The other, a 6 foot, since the best thing that my current monitor offers is a DVI input, serves as my main connector for an HD picture. On both of these, it looks phenomenal, showing off perfectly it's 1080p capabilities. Cons: HDMI-to-DVI, unfortunately, doesn't emit sound. Since this is typical of all of them, however, I wouldn't dock any eggs. However, for the sake of monitors with speakers but no HDMI slot, and stuff of the sorts, I think they should include this technology. Not just Nippon Labs, but every single manufacturer of these on the market period. You can only benefit from it. Other Thoughts: If the lack of sound isn't a big deal to you, or if you have an alternative source for sound, buy this. You won't regret it. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awsome ConnecterPros: this little cord is awesome it does wonders for my 60 inch flat screen if you want to watch stuff from your computer but only have hdmi on it and you know your grafix card dont do it then i would so get this very good picture with it even lets me play sound from it pretty cool as well Cons: cord could have been a bit longer for more options to move around with got to keep the coputer in about 4 feet to have it to the tv but i knew that getting it but no biggie really Other Thoughts: could have made me some mac & cheese :) 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

How do the consumer insurance advocates help Oregonians?
Advocates educate consumers about their rights under the law, operate a hotline for consumers with questions or complaints about insurer or agent (producer) practices, and resolve issues before they lead to further consumer harm.
Our advocates answer about 15,000 insurance questions a year and investigate more than 4,000 complaints against insurance companies. We recover about $2 million annually on behalf of consumers. Our hotline generally is available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 503-947-7984 or (toll-free) 1-888-877-4894. Or, e-mail questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Advocates do not act as an attorney for a person. Most consumers are helped through our informal efforts to resolve matters between consumers and insurers or agents. The main purpose of our consumer complaint process is to identify and eliminate the most serious threats to Oregon consumers.
The consumer calls we receive are critical to protecting all insurance-buying consumers. Advocates refer potential violations of insurance law to our investigators for possible enforcement action. The Oregon Insurance Division can fine companies or agents that break the law and/or revoke their licenses. Based on consumer complaints, the advocates may detect areas of the law that need to be changed to give consumers additional protections. They may recommend creation of educational materials and outreach to consumer groups on a particular topic.
Even though our advocates may not always be able to help you resolve your complaint, your calls assist other Oregonians by identifying issues of concern and potential problems facing the insurance-buying public.
What happens when I file a complaint?
We assign your complaint to an advocate who contacts the insurance company or agent on your behalf. This is usually done by sending a copy of your complaint with a cover letter. We're looking for an explanation for each of your concerns and any supporting documentation for the position taken by the insurance company. The company or agent must respond within three weeks. The advocate reviews the material provided by the company or agent, determines whether additional information is needed, follows up if necessary, and advocates on behalf of the consumer for a resolution to the problem.
How long does it take to complete the process?
Sometimes it is just a matter of a few days or weeks but it can take longer depending on the issues. Most complaints are resolved within 60 days.
Do you handle all kinds of insurance issues?
We handle most lines of insurance including auto, homeowner, health, life, annuities, long-term care and even some of the more unusual lines like pet insurance. We do not have regulatory authority over Medicare, so we work with our sister agency, the Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA) program, to get your questions answered. Worker's compensation issues are handled by the Worker's Compensation Division.
Are you usually able to get a good result for the consumer?
Most consumers - but not all - are helped through our efforts to informally resolve disputes. Outcomes range from a better understanding of the situation to getting a claim paid. Consumers who are unhappy with the results we obtain may want to contact an attorney.
Can't you just tell the insurance company what to do?
Our advocates are passionate and persuasive, and most insurance companies and agents cooperate with us. However, some issues don't fall under our jurisdiction. For example, we may get a complaint about a car accident and the issues might be who is at fault or how much should be paid. We will get involved to be sure the insurance companies follow the law and the consumer is aware of his or her rights and options. However, the court system determines fault and damages rests with the court system. Also, we can not force a company to pay claims, to cover a medical procedure, or to refund premiums if the company is following the law and its insurance contract.
We are not attorneys and we can not act as a legal representative. We can not recommend an insurance company or agent. We can help you find information about whether a company or agent is licensed in Oregon, a company's complaint history and its financial soundness.

Deep Saturation: We're seeing so many gorgeous, rich hues this year — people are definitely not shying away from bold color! Colors we keep seeing include fuschia, teal, cobalt blue, navy blue, charcoal and golden yellow.
Filtered Neutrals: The counterpoint to the saturation trend is restful rooms in hazy colors. Pale grays, mossy greens and tea-stained creams work are sweet and sophisticated in an industrial loft or a cozy farmhouse.
Bold Combinations: People are playing with color, decorating rooms with a handful of colors instead of just one or two. It's inspirational to see these risks paying off again and again, showing us that there's always "room for color!"
Which is your favorite trend? Tell us in the comments!

U.S. officials say the Pentagon is moving two warships to the Libyan coast, in the aftermath of the attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three others.
Officials say one destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the USS McFaul is en route and should be stationed off the coast within days. The officials say the ships, which carry Tomahawk missiles, do not have a specific mission. But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the president.
The destroyers have crews totaling about 300. There have been four destroyers in the Mediterranean for some time. These moves will increase that to five.
Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss troop movements.
U.S. officials say the Obama administration is investigating whether the assault on the U.S. consulate in Libya was a planned terrorist strike to mark the anniversary of 9/11, and not a spontaneous mob enraged over a anti-Islamic YouTube video
President Barack Obama vowed in a Rose Garden address that the U.S. would "work with the Libyan government to bring to justice" to those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American personnel. Intelligence officials said the attack on the Benghazi consulate was too coordinated or professional to be spontaneous, according to a U.S. counterterrorism official.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly.
President Barack Obama is vowing to work with Libya's government to bring to justice the killers of the U.S. ambassador to that country and three other Americans.
He says American mourns the deaths, but that the work of the embassy personnel "will live on."
Chris Stevens is the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in an attack since 1979, when Ambassador Adolph Dubs was killed in Afghanistan.
Obama is ordering stepped-up security at U.S. embassies overseas.
U.S. officials say some 50 Marines are being sent to Libya to reinforce security at U.S. diplomatic facilities.
U.S. embassies in at least seven countries in the Middle East, Africa and the Caucasus are warning of possible anti-American protests following the attack on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
The embassies in Armenia, Burundi, Kuwait, Sudan, Tunisia and Zambia, along with the embassy in Egypt, which was hit by a protest on Tuesday, all issued warnings on Wednesday advising Americans to be particularly vigilant.
The warnings, posted on the embassies' websites, do not report any specific threat to Americans but note that demonstrations can become violent.
The protest in Cairo and the attack in Benghazi appear to have been responses to an inflammatory anti-Muslim video posted on the Internet.
The U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi is now largely burned out and trashed, in the aftermath of the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans.
Libyans have been wandering freely around the burned-out building, taking photos of rooms where furniture is covered in soot and overturned.
The consulate is a one-story villa in a large garden, located in an upscale neighborhood. The attack was carried out by a crowd of hundreds, many of them firing machine-guns and rocket-propelled grenades.
Stevens and a group of embassy employees had gone there to try to evacuate staff during the attack.
A Libyan doctor who treated Stevens said he died of severe asphyxiation, apparently from smoke. In the chaos surrounding the attack, he was brought by Libyans to a hospital with no other Americans. A doctor there says no one at the facility knew who he was.
Libya's deputy U.N. ambassador says several Libyan security officers were killed in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and others were wounded.
Ibrahim Dabbashi told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that the attack, which killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three American diplomats, "in no way serves the interests of Libya" and "gravely damages the image of Islam."
He reiterated his governments condemnation of the attack and its determination to bring those responsible to justice.
Dabbashi told reporters afterwards that there were "maybe less than 10 victims from the security forces."
He said "some of them were killed at the start of the attack."
Democrats say this is no time for Mitt Romney to be taking potshots at U.S. foreign policy.
A spokesman says the Obama campaign is "shocked" that Romney would be launching a "political assault" in the aftermath of the U.S. ambassador's death in Libya.
But Romney is continuing to criticize a U.S. Embassy statement in Cairo following an attack there. He says the statement seemed to express sympathy with the attackers -- and that the White House gave "mixed signals" in its response to the breach of the American embassy in Egypt.
Romney condemned attacks against the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four U.S. diplomats, including the U.S. ambassador. (AP)

Al Wiesneth, HFPD For the past several years, firefighters from the Huntley Fire Dept. have had a "Fill The Boot" campaign. On May 6-7, the proceeds from our boot drive will help send young burn victims to camp this summer. These are children between the ages of 8-17 that have been scarred for life from burns. Burn Camp is held at the YMCA Camp Duncan, located near Fox Lake. The camp is approximately 400 acres on semi-private Fish Lake. Activities include boating, sailing, canoeing, fishing, archery, cmapouts, horseback riding, hiking, crafts and swimming. These young children can play and have fun together, sharing their experiences, and not feel self conscious about what others may be thinking of their scars. The Illinois Fire Safety Alliance Burn Camp, in cooperation with your local fire dep'artment and burn care facility, can make a difference for these unfortunate children. Look for the firefighters in the red vests that say "Help Burned Kids." They need your help. Make this summer a time lo remember for these youthful victims. We apprciate your contri¬ bution to "Fill The Boot."

Ali Akbar Salehi is foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
We humans often make the mistake of not learning from history, even when it is recent. Civil war in the Levant is not a thing of the distant past. With Syria descending into worsening violence, the 15-year Lebanese civil war should provide frightening lessons of what happens when the fabric of a society unravels.
When the Islamic Awakening — also known as the Arab Spring — began in December 2010, we all saw people rising up to claim their rights. We have witnessed the emergence of civic movements demanding freedom, democracy, dignity and self-determination.
