The Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Sentinel Network monitors the history of fraud and identity theft complaints. Their report on calendar year 2012 highlights the 2,061,495 cases of fraud, identity theft, and other infractions that were reported to the organization from every state, with Florida, Georgia and California leading with the most reports. That's over 2 million cases of fraud and theft that were reported, but what of the ones that went undetected? While some individuals, business, and organizations were vigilant enough to notice fraud as it happened, many others either don't know where to begin looking or are being hustled by lambs in sheep's clothing.
Predictive analytics could be helpful for understanding the patterns of people who commit this type of crime. With the number of cases of fraud and theft occurring each year rising significantly, though, predictive analytics needs a helping hand. Fraud and identity theft are occurring in increasingly creative, sneaky ways, many of which involve hiding actions behind different names or other identity tags. Identity fraud not only affects the customer, it also affects that person's bank and other vendors when identity theft strikes. The imperative to stop identity theft and fraud is significant on both individual and systemic levels.

Egypt: As Muslim Brotherhood Claims Election Victory, Military Strips President of Power
Published on Jun 20, 2012 by democracynow
DemocracyNow.org – Sharif Abdel Kouddous reports from Egypt on the country's growing political crisis. Former president Hosni Mubarak is on life support, both candidates claim to have won last weekend's election and the ruling military council has seized greater power. Official presidential election results are not expected to be announced until Thursday. Tens of thousands of Egyptians protested Tuesday night in Cairo's Tahrir Square in a rally called by the Muslim Brotherhood, expressing outrage over the army's decree late Sunday that it would seize all legislative powers. "Right now, the country has no constitution, no parliament, and an incoming president that will have scant power," Kouddous says. "The military council is really controlling the key branches of state … [It's] perhaps a fitting end to this nonsensical transition that we have seen over the last 16 months."

Catholic nuns protest US budget cuts
Published on Jun 20, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish
A group of Roman Catholic nuns are taking an unusual bus ride across America.
They are protesting against government budget cuts, which they say are harming low income families.
A recent Vatican report criticised some nuns for focusing too much on economic injustice
Even though the nuns were stung by the criticism from Rome, they decided to stay the course and say the firestorm has given them a platform.
In their latest trip, the nuns are in Janesville, Wisconsin, to deliver an alternative budget to Republican House member Paul Ryan, in which they propose a plan that favours a safety net for the worst off instead of tax cuts for the rich.
There is every sign they'll continue to take their gospel on the road, with or without the Vatican's blessing.
Al Jazeera's Kristen Saloomey reports from Janesville, Wisconsin.
GLOBAL ELITES THROWN OUT OF ICELAND: Iceland Dismantles Corrupt Gov't Then Arrests All Rothschild Bankers
Since the 1900′s the vast majority of the American population has dreamed about saying "NO" to the Unconstitutional, corrupt, Rothschild/Rockefeller banking criminals, but no one has dared to do so. Why? If just half of our Nation, and the "1%", who pay the majority of the taxes, just said NO MORE! Our Gov't would literally change over night. Why is it so hard, for some people to understand, that by simply NOT giving your money, to large Corporations, who then send jobs, Intellectual Property, etc. offshore and promote anti-Constitutional rights… You will accomplish more, than if you used violence. In other words… RESEARCH WHERE YOU ARE SENDING EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!! Is that so hard? The truth of the matter is… No one, except the Icelanders, have to been the only culture on the planet to carry out this successfully. Not only have they been successful, at overthrowing the corrupt Gov't, they've drafted a Constitution, that will stop this from happening ever again. That's not the best part… The best part, is that they have arrested ALL Rothschild/Rockefeller banking puppets, responsible for the Country's economic Chaos and meltdown.
Last week 9 people were arrested in London and Reykjavik for their possible responsibility for Iceland's financial collapse in 2008, a deep crisis which developed into an unprecedented public reaction that is changing the country's direction.
It has been a revolution without weapons in Iceland, the country that hosts the world's oldest democracy (since 930), and whose citizens have managed to effect change by going on demonstrations and banging pots and pans. Why have the rest of the Western countries not even heard about it?
Pressure from Icelandic citizens' has managed not only to bring down a government, but also begin the drafting of a new constitution (in process) and is seeking to put in jail those bankers responsible for the financial crisis in the country. As the saying goes, if you ask for things politely it is much easier to get them.
This quiet revolutionary process has its origins in 2008 when the Icelandic government decided to nationalize the three largest banks, Landsbanki, Kaupthing and Glitnir, whose clients were mainly British, and North and South American.
After the State took over, the official currency (krona) plummeted and the stock market suspended its activity after a 76% collapse. Iceland was becoming bankrupt and to save the situation, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) injected U.S. $ 2,100 million and the Nordic countries helped with another 2,500 million.
Great little victories of ordinary people
While banks and local and foreign authorities were desperately seeking economic solutions, the Icelandic people took to the streets and their persistent daily demonstrations outside parliament in Reykjavik prompted the resignation of the conservative Prime Minister Geir H. Haarde and his entire government.
Citizens demanded, in addition, to convene early elections, and they succeeded. In April a coalition government was elected, formed by the Social Democratic Alliance and the Left Green Movement, headed by a new Prime Minister, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir.
Throughout 2009 the Icelandic economy continued to be in a precarious situation (at the end of the year the GDP had dropped by 7%) but, despite this, the Parliament proposed to repay the debt to Britain and the Netherlands with a payment of 3,500 million Euros, a sum to be paid every month by Icelandic families for 15 years at 5.5% interest.
The move sparked anger again in the Icelanders, who returned to the streets demanding that, at least, that decision was put to a referendum. Another big small victory for the street protests: in March 2010 that vote was held and an overwhelming 93% of the population refused to repay the debt, at least with those conditions.
This forced the creditors to rethink the deal and improve it, offering 3% interest and payment over 37 years. Not even that was enough. The current president, on seeing that Parliament approved the agreement by a narrow margin, decided last month not to approve it and to call on the Icelandic people to vote in a referendum so that they would have the last word.
The bankers are fleeing in fear
Returning to the tense situation in 2010, while the Icelanders were refusing to pay a debt incurred by financial sharks without consultation, the coalition government had launched an investigation to determine legal responsibilities for the fatal economic crisis and had already arrested several bankers and top executives closely linked to high risk operations.
Interpol, meanwhile, had issued an international arrest warrant against Sigurdur Einarsson, former president of one of the banks. This situation led scared bankers and executives to leave the country en masse.
In this context of crisis, an assembly was elected to draft a new constitution that would reflect the lessons learned and replace the current one, inspired by the Danish constitution.
To do this, instead of calling experts and politicians, Iceland decided to appeal directly to the people, after all they have sovereign power over the law. More than 500 Icelanders presented themselves as candidates to participate in this exercise in direct democracy and write a new constitution. 25 of them, without party affiliations, including lawyers, students, journalists, farmers and trade union representatives were elected.
Among other developments, this constitution will call for the protection, like no other, of freedom of information and expression in the so-called Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, in a bill that aims to make the country a safe haven for investigative journalism and freedom of information, where sources, journalists and Internet providers that host news reporting are protected.
The people, for once, will decide the future of the country while bankers and politicians witness the transformation of a nation from the sidelines.
Fed extends stimulus to boost economy
Published on Jun 20, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.com/ The weak US recovery and growing financial problems in Europe mean the Federal Reserve has extended its monetary stimulus.
At their monthly meeting the US central bank policymakers said they will renew effort to bring down borrowing costs by selling short-term government bonds to buy those maturing at a later date.
Central banks worldwide are seeking ways to stimulate their weak economies.
With its benchmark interest rate already cut to between zero and a quarter of a percent, the Fed has little room for manoeuvre in the face of yet another slowdown.
Analyst Jim Bianco listed the problems facing the US: "There is a protracted slowdown in the economy and it's unmistakable right now, especially with the downward revisions that we saw in the previous numbers, and that they are all going to have to go back and rework their assumptions about a potential slowdown in the economy coming, for the third summer in a row now, as we've seen before."
In its statement after the meeting the Fed said the US economy is "expanding moderately," but conceded employment growth has slowed and would come down "only slowly."
In May only 69,000 new jobs were created and the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent
The bank expressed worries about weaker consumer spending saying it "appears to be rising at a somewhat slower pace than earlier in the year," but said inflation "has declined" mainly because of lower oil prices and its longer-term inflation expectations remain stable.

Malians flee to Burkina Faso amid drought
Published on Jun 20, 2012 by AlJazeeraEnglish
The UN refugee agency says that a record 800,000 people were forced to flee across borders last year.
Many of them were displaced by conflicts in their home countries.
Mali is one example. More than 320,000 people have been forced from their homes since January because of fighting between government forces and Tuareg rebels.
Many are seeking refuge in neighbouring countries – which are struggling to cope with the influx.
The situation is particularly precarious as the Sahel region is going through a major drought.

Julian Assange of WikiLeaks Seeks Asylum in Ecuador In Attempt To Avoid Extradition to U.S.
Published on Jun 20, 2012 by democracynow
DemocracyNow.org – WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange has taken refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London and asked for asylum. Assange made the move Tuesday in a last-ditch bid to avoid extradition to Sweden over sex crime accusations. Earlier today, police in London announced Assange is now subject to arrest because his decision to spend the night at the Ecuadorean embassy violated the conditions of his bail. Assange is seeking asylum because he fears extradition to Sweden may lead to his transfer to the United States where he could potentially face charges relating to Wikileaks. "In my view, it is a situation of political persecution of Julian Assange for his political activities," says Michael Ratner, a member of Assange's legal team. "It fits in the asylum application procedure under the Declaration of Human Rights." In an apparent reference to the United States, an Ecuadorean official said Assange fears being extradited "to a country where espionage and treason are punished with the death penalty."

Hugh Halter and Matt Smay bring fresh encouragement to mega-church, traditional, contemporary, and organic church leaders and invite them to move beyond the attractional-missional divide by utilizing the best insights from both perspectives. You'll learn how to value existing church forms while developing a missional community of people called to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
What is happening to the church in America today? By all appearances, it looks like we are "doing' church better than we ever have. Our programs are effective, our pastors are relevant, and our buildings are increasing in size. In the past 30 years the number of mega-churches has increased from under 100 to over 7,500. In the past 10 years the number of multi-site churches has increased from under 100 to over 2,000. By the numbers, these church movements enjoy the national platform, the national voice, and the resources to profoundly impact the Kingdom.
But to what end? In spite of the rapid growth of these prevailing church movements we are still losing ground, and the church in the west is in massive decline. Numerous studies and books have been written documenting the flight of members from the institutional church.
Yet the local church is Jesus' plan for reaching the world.
The strength of the mega-church and multi-site models can be found in a strong emphasis on attracting people to the church, where they have an opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ. Yet many younger leaders are rejecting this model in favor of a more incarnational approach to ministry. These missional communities tend to focus their attention on trying to release people into ministry.
In recent years a growing schism has emerged between those calling themselves incarnational leaders and those leading the prevailing church models. But what if we were able to incorporate the insights of both models into a cohesive understanding of the church? Can we bring together the very best of the attractional AND missional models for church ministry?
What is needed is not is another book about how to do church better. Our focus on the form church is misguided when the vast majority of unchurched Christians and non-believers aren't moving toward any form of church. Beautifully Sent will give permission for leaders to value existing church forms while catalyzing a missional movement of incarnational people into the world.

Recipe by Boo
"This quick and easy salad is good to take to gatherings or just eat for a quick lunch. Use whatever pasta shape you have on hand."
Watch video tips and tricks
12 ounces rotelle pasta
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 dash hot pepper sauce
This is a good basic recipe but I can't give it more than 4 stars because rinsing the pasta is a NO NO! The starch is needed to help the sauce stick to the pasta. I used whole wheat rotella pasta and I added 1 pound of homemade bacon bits (cut 1 lb of bacon up and fry it into bits), and used a can of drained sweet peas and a few dashes of some vidalia onion vinaigrette. Make sure the onions are chopped very very small. It's great hot or cold and just the ticket when someone asks you to bring a side dish to a party.
waaaayyy too much onion
17 Ratings
Okay, I don't think anyone is seriously going to think you're supposed to put flowers in this pasta salad. The ingredients even call for frozen green peas. Also, there's no problem with rinsing the pasta- it will help cool the noodles down faster so you can eat the salad right away if you want, and I've never had a problem with mayo not sticking to rinsed noodles. That all being said, this pasta salad is very yummy and easy. You can add anything you want to it, like tuna, olives, grapes, chicken, little tomatoes, cucumber... and it always turns out good! Low fat mayo works well also.
I picked this recipe because it incorporated what I had on hand and seemed like it would be pretty quick and easy to make. I added 1/2 a pound of bacon per another user's suggestion, and used a lot less onion as my onion was very strong and I didn't want it to overpower. I also added some red pepper flakes, some cajun spices, and salt and pepper. Turned out great, especially for being a last minute recipe and using what I had on hand. I'll make it again! :)
I made this as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it. I will certainly make it again.
Safety concern: This recipe uses the name Sweet Pea however true sweet peas are very poisonous. The pea used for this recipe should be green (English)peas (the vegetable) Cute name but it may be misunderstood. Otherwise good recipe.
Quick and easy salad - family loved it and it kept well in the refrigerator for a few days. Thanks Boo for the recipe. It will work well for packed lunches this summer.
I love how easy this was and it actually has good flavor as is. I am going to take others suggestions and use some bacon bits on top before serving. I used bow tie pasta because I think it makes for a better presentation. How cute this would be with some chopped red pepper for a holiday look.

I have to take my Bandit in this afternoon to see an ophthalmologist. He has lost sight in one eye and need to find out what's going on. Please keep him in your prayers. Thanks | |||
I sure will. I do want to let you know we had a blind dog (lost his sight from diabetes) but he got along just fine. We even had our deck rebuilt and during part of the time and he had to walk on just one or two boards to get to the stairs so he could get down to the ground. I wish only the best for your dog but don't panic if he has problems with both eyes. Be sure to keep us posted. Angie | ||||
Aww. Poor guy. Definitely will keep him in my prayers. How did your visit go? | ||||
Thoughts and prayers going out to each of you ~ hope it will turn out well. What is well? Well, just staying alive is well; it's amazing just how well animals can do without vision. I know, we've had Bubba, a stray we rescued after a tragic encounter with a vehicle. His eyeball was literally hanging and his life was in jeopardy - he's been running around and full of joy ever since although he can't see. Please keep us posted how it goes for the two of you ~ don't be discouraged.... | ||||
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Bandit has a detached retina, how it happened is unknown. He will be blind in left eye. He's on anti-inflammatory for another couple of weeks. The eye itself is looking better each day. He's doing good...no pain involved! Very happy about that! He's adjusting and I'm confindent that he will do great! Once again thanks...Carolyn | ||||
Carolyn...I am sure your opthamologist may have already tested for this but My girl dog almost lost sight in both eyes at the end of 2010 due to Toxoplasmosis. It is a parasite that cats usually carry and excrete in their poop. urns out some dogs can get sick with it and the eyes are what is affected. Both of her eyes had 75% detached retinas when we caught it. Luckily the meds took care of the parasite and her retinas reattached. Her sight isn't perfect but at least not totally blind. She was almost completely blind for a week or so until the retinas started to reattach and she adjusted just fine. *Debi* ~*Never trade the thrills of living for the security of existence*~ | ||||
Yes Debi, it was the first question he asked was if we had any cats. We have never owned any as family members are allergic. He is still on anti-inflammatories. Doing well! | ||||

North Cascades Highway reopens Wednesday at noon
Published on Wed, May 25, 2011 by
Contacts: Jeff Adamson, WSDOT Communications

County & State
WENATCHEE – Wednesday's noon reopening of the North Cascades Highway marks the second latest since the highway opened 39 years ago. The latest ever was June 14, 1974, and the next latest, surpassed by this year, was in 1976 when it reopened on May 21.
WSDOT maintenance crews will open the east and west winter closure gates on SR 20 to traffic at noon on Wednesday, May 25.
The clearing effort took more than six weeks, compared to just three-and-a-half weeks last spring. Nine feet of snowfall in March and a record seven-and-a-half feet in April on the western slopes of the Cascades kept avalanche control technicians and snow clearing equipment on Stevens Pass until the avalanche threat eased and allowed the team to move up to the North Cascades. There, they found SR 20 buried in snow as deep as 75 feet.
"The crews are really pleased that the highway will be open for Memorial Day," said Don Becker, WSDOT Twisp Maintenance Supervisor.
The noon reopening allows crews time to "sweep" the entire 37 mile winter closure zone for sand, rocks and debris between milepost 134, seven miles east of Diablo Dam on the west side of Rainy Pass 4,855 feet above sea level and nine miles west of Mazama at Milepost 171 below Washington Pass, elevation 5,477 feet.
"It provides the margin we need so the first drivers over the passes make their trip safely," said Becker. "We had to rent a helicopter and do active avalanche control in the Liberty Bell Mountain and Cutthroat Ridge zones on Friday to bring down snow from those chutes. We couldn't open the highway and allow traffic below potentially unstable avalanche zones."
It took Monday and will take all day Tuesday for crews finish removing the huge piles of snow that slid down to the pavement. In the Liberty Bell Mt. zone on Monday, crews cleared about half the 650 feet of roadway that was covered with snow from 10 to 30 feet deep.
When the gates swing open, drivers should find the road conditions bare and dry or bare and wet across the entire route. The forecasts for the next few days calls for high temperatures in the 60's with a 30 to 50% chance of rain and a freezing level of 5,000 to 6,000 feet.
The highway closed for the winter Dec. 1. It typically opens between the last week in March and the first week in May. The earliest opening ever was March 10, 2005. One drought year, four years after the highway first opened in 1976, it remained open all winter.

Home > THEC Divisions > Academic Affairs
The Academic Affairs Division performs a wide array of tasks related to academic programming at Tennessee colleges and universities, and is the THEC division charged with reviewing and evaluating new and existing academic programs at universities and community colleges. The Academic Affairs Division also monitors compliance with certain facets of the Complete College Tennessee Act (CCTA) of 2010, coordinates the state Performance Funding program, and administrates federal and state grant programs.
In concert with the legislative changes enacted under the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010, the approval process for new academic programs was recently modified, and includes heightened attention to institutional mission distinction, a focus on the importance of institutional collaboration, and workforce development, and avoidance of duplication of programs and services.
A1.0 - New Academic Programs: Approval Process
A1.0 - Attachment A (Financial Estimate Form)
A1.0- Attachment B (Letters of Intent)
A1.1- Attachment A (Financial Estimate Form)
As described in Academic Policy A1.0, institutions wishing to begin the Letter of Intent process for proposing new academic programs should reference the following resources while conducting their initial feasibility study:

Post Approval Monitoring Summary
The Tennessee Higher Education Commission's Performance Funding program has been in operation for over thirty years. It is nationally recognized as a successful statewide supplemental funding incentive to encourage continuous improvement of programs and services. All public universities and community colleges have been able to earn additional funds (up to 5.45 percent of the institution's state funding) on the basis of quality improvement as measured by a common set of indicators.
The incentive has encouraged institutions to build comprehensive evaluation systems whereby they can reliably measure student learning. The Performance Funding Program serves as an accountability instrument for each five-year Master Plan and tracks measures the Commission is statutorily required to report annually to the Tennessee General Assembly. For the 2010-15 cycle, institutions will focus on two quality standards: Quality of Student Learning and Quality of Student Support and Success.

Since 2007, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission and the Council on Developmental Disabilities have participated in a statewide taskforce to increase awareness and develop postsecondary opportunities for students who have an intellectual disability and are seeking continuing education and career development opportunities at a Tennessee college or university. Currently, there are two programs in Tennessee for students with intellectual disabilities: Vanderbilt University and UT Knoxville. The Think College website is an excellent resource for learning more about postsecondary education opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities across the nation.
Several P-16 Initiatives are housed within the Academic Affairs Division, the most notable of which is the higher education portion of Tennessee's First to the Top Program.

Core to College - See the Core to College Tab
In partnership with the Tennessee Board of Regents and Chattanooga State Community College, THEC is currently piloting a statewide initiative to reduce the number of Tennessee students that require mathematics remediation. The SAILS program embeds high quality remedial math instruction in the senior year of high school, allowing students to address math deficiencies prior to entering higher education. Funded by the Governor's Online Innovation budget, SAILS will reach over 8,000 high school seniors in 2013.
Tennessee is a governing state in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness in College and Career Readiness (PARCC) consortium. The postsecondary sector plays a significant role in this initiative, with Tennessee faculty and leaders serving in key roles during the development of the PARCC Assessment.

Chairs of Excellence 2013 Report
In 1984, the General Assembly and the Governor of Tennessee announced the creation of a new "Centers of Excellence" program for Tennessee public higher education. Selected through a statewide competitive process, the Centers of Excellence are designed to build upon the research strengths of the campuses of Tennessee Board of Regents and University of Tennessee. Their purpose is to focus on the capabilities of public higher education to serve the people of Tennessee by expanding the state's research base; thereby, increasing its national and international stature and its economic competitiveness.
The Centers of Emphasis program (formerly called "Campus Centers") began in 1984 with matching funds from the state. The Centers have been established at each community college on a competitive basis through formal proposals submitted to the Tennessee Board of Regents for approval.

word of the day: August 02, 2009
A way for creepy people with porn mustaches to say hello or "I understand". Hold your fingers in the shape of guns (use both hands for maximum effect) and point at someone who just arrived. Bend thumbs to simulate shooting your finger guns and make a clicking sound with your mouth. May be accompanied with a wink in extreme cases.
That dude that looks like he just fell out of the 70's just offered me a piece of candy and then winked and gave me finger guns. I said no.

If you've ever heard the saying, stuck in a rut, that's exactly how I have been feeling. And if you've ever felt stuck in a rut, then you know the feeling. It's not the greatest feeling in the world. I have never heard someone say, "I'm stuck in a rut and its great!" That would just be weird, wouldn't it? I must confess something, I have been stuck in a rut. I haven't been in God's word, I haven't been having my usually chats with God, and I haven't been going to church regularly. My time with God seemed more like a to-do list. That seemed to be a place I have been before. When I was younger, I thought the farther you got in your Bible reading guide, the more God would like you. Don't get me wrong, using Bible reading guides is a great way to get into God's word and hear from Him, but I was using it more as a to-do list instead of getting into God's word. And I was missing something, God already loved me so checking things off my list wasn't going to increase God's love for me.
So how did I let myself get into such a pickle? I was searching for a church and I was feeling discouraged and lost. I had been looking for a church that had more young people and I hadn't seem to find one that God would have for me. I just stopped going to church. I felt like I was wondering in a desert for awhile because I felt far away from God and far way from His community of believers. After 6 months, I went back to a church that I use to go to. I felt weird because I hadn't gone there for a while; I didn't want people to think bad of me. Praise God, I was welcomed back and I felt God's love wrap around me. I was talking to a sweet lady from my church. She is wise beyond her years and she spoke truth into my life this past week. I told her how discouraged I was and how I hadn't even been writing on my blog. I told her I had no inspiration anymore. She reminded me that God has given me the gift of writing and when I was far away from Him and His word, the inspiration He had given me wasn't there. *ding ding ding, we have a winner….when I was walking closer with the Lord, He gave me the inspiration to write. When I wasn't close to Him, my inspiration was gone. I should have figured this out a lot sooner…wake up, girl!
Sunday morning, I felt led to go up during the invitation and get right with God. I still feel like I have one foot left in my rut, but I am definitely ready to get out. So why would I put such a ridiculous title on this post? Because as much as its really uncomfortable and sometimes miserable to be stuck in rut, its great because it reminded me of how much I need God in my life. Everything in my life was going haywire because I wasn't right with God. I need to be walking hand in hand with my Savior or else things are going to be out of control. I was meant to have a growing, thriving relationship with my heavenly Father. I am slowly learning. If only I didn't have such a thick skull, then maybe it wouldn't take me so long haha
We are all imperfect people who are adored by a perfect, loving Heavenly Father. Its okay to be real and honest with each other. That's what I learned that Sunday.

Back now to the breaking news on our top story concerning the ongoing anti American protests overseas.
Fox News obtaining a DHS Department of Homeland Security report.
Warning of a statement posted on the web earlier this month calling for attacks.
Targeting the US embassy in Cairo over the imprisonment of this man.
Sheikh Omar I'll -- -- AKA the blind Sheikh.
Currently serving a life sentence in North Carolina for his role.
In the first World Trade Center bombing back in 1993.
And now some top Republicans are raising concerns.
About a possible deal to release this -- -- from prison on humanitarian.
And health grounds.
-- now Ralph Peters a Fox News strategic analyst and author of the book -- at Gettysburg.
-- the Republicans are raising these concerns about a possible relief the State Department says there's no such deal and know quote senior.
Egyptian officials have requested his release what does it tell you.
Well they also said there have been no talks recently about it.
-- how much hard evidence.
Is it going to take.
For this administration to realize that appeasement does not work.
I have no doubt there were talks -- whether or not the administration is gonna release this murder this mass murderer we don't know that.
But you know it should be a slam dunk no we're not talking about it -- -- -- These this administration lives in a fantasy world.
-- if you just keep appeasing.
Radical Muslims keep pace exceeding to their demands.
We pressing freedom of speech -- the west that somehow some magic how everything will be fine.
-- -- it but does it seem plausible to you that Barack Obama in an election year.
Would be negotiating.
The release.
Of a terrorist and not just any terrorist but a terrorist convicted of trying of bombing the World Trade Center.
No it does not seem plausible that Obama himself would be doing it but it certainly seems plausible that.
Elements in the State Department would be to talking about -- talking back and forth.
And certainly -- an election year the president would be cautious but you know and if Obama's re elected.
I suspect we're going to see a lot of things we don't like.
I'm at this point is not to release blind -- because become a scandal the way they would have done it would be just do it sends -- -- Egypt it's a physical plea.
I want to talk to you about what we saw last week in Libya.
Because we're learning more and more about what preceded the death of our ambassador and three other American patriots there earlier a top intelligence official.
Declared this a terror operation.
That took out these four Americans we have heard sort of pundits and politicians suggest that earlier but now we're getting this from a top intelligence officials saying it was indeed terror.
And there are real questions.
About the protection.
That was -- was not around our ambassador when he was assassinated Ralph.
Yes indeed.
And any person with military experience can tell you.
This was not a spontaneous.
Riot that killed our ambassador based on that that video although the video is useful propaganda tool for the islamists.
-- Really it was -- it wasn't terror incident and the media establishment media jumped all over wrongly for shooting from the hip.
Indeed was the White House that panic said things and they didn't know what they're talking about somewhere patently untrue and nobody's called them.
That make -- what troubles me the most.
-- these repeated.
Increasingly extensive reports.
That our State Department -- rules of engagement for Libya approved by Secretary Clinton that said no ammunition.
-- -- -- two things if that is true then Secretary Clinton signed ambassador Stephen staff work and to.
It's one more instance and -- experiences personally my military career.
Of the states branded of state department's rabid dislike for our military in -- if it appears.
That the Department of State and our diplomats.
Placed more faith in -- -- -- militias.
Than they did in the United States Marine Corps.
The guards weren't there the Marines weren't there they should've been.
But state doesn't want to my experience this way back when the Soviet Union came apart.
And ambassadors and newly independent states refused to have defense attaches in their embassies the condescension is incredible.
And unfortunately ambassador Stephens.
Our brave and talented but ultimately fool hardy man did not demand the security to what she was entitled.
He was too confident -- popularity -- -- Libyan people the very popularity that made him a prime target for Islamist terrorists.
And he paid with his life.
It is now being reported by one online source a man who says that he was friends -- Shaun Smith one of the victims.
That that John knew he was in danger just prior to the attacks that he sent out.
On this in his online.
Chat that they had that the following tax saying -- we assuming we don't die tonight.
We saw one of our quote police that guard the compound taking pictures and then when he he went on to write an expletive.
And then the word gunfire.
And so it does appear that it for some time prior to be attacked.
A -- that they were -- potential danger and indeed they were Ralph.
Yes indeed and this is a tragic situation that did not have to happen.
So we have isn't a scandal or cover up.
It's scandals plural its cover ups plural who you have received no security your little security no US Marines no ammunition and weapons.
Warnings that were ignored.
And -- that it was a spontaneous demonstration -- it's obviously a planned affair.
Blaming it on the the anti Mohammed video when there was clearly.
A detailed plot then you go to Egypt.
And it's about hobble off are all rock -- It's just it just incredible to me.
That the White House is -- itself into a deep deep hole with my afterlife -- is a State Department.
And the establishment media's not calling them and make -- I don't give a shout out Catherine Herridge.
For fox who's reporting on this whose investigative reporting on.
The blind -- and all these related matters has been incredibly good she's got a lot of push back.
From the establishment from the administration but she has been a true -- on -- that's true and.
And she you know she just reported today.
At having gotten her hands of the document that they were warned that they and we are in our community was warned on September ninth two days prior.
To the Cairo attacks that there was this plan to go to the embassy in protest over the blind -- and to burn it down.
Two days prior to the day it happened and yet we had the administration repeatedly telling us that it was all about this video.
Was all of us has video anyway -- I got to run thank you so much -- experts think you --

MORRISVILLE, Pa. -- Republican Mitt Romney has less than 36 hours left to make his case to voters as to why they should fire President Obama as national polls continue to show the race as a dead heat.
A Sunday evening trip to Pennsylvania, the first time the campaign has stopped there in weeks, was part of a last-minute push to win the state that hasn't voted for a Republican since 1988.
MORE: On campaign's last day, Obama heads to Iowa
"This audience and your voices are being heard all over the nation," Romney said to sea of people who waited several hours to hear him speak. "They're being heard in my heart. The people of America understand we're taking back the White House, because we're going to win Pennsylvania," he said.
Romney adviser Kevin Madden said the last 48 hours of the campaign was "the perfect time" to go to the state where they do not have the option to vote early.
MORE: Final Swing States Poll: Fired-up voters split, 48%-48%
"We've seen that state just get closer and closer and closer. ... We're essentially tied," he said. "We're overperforming in many of these critical areas of the state, like the Philadelphia suburbs, areas like Scranton, southwest Pennsylvania."
A Tribune-Review/Susquehanna poll released Saturday showed Romney and Obama tied 47%-47%.
MORE: Obama's early-voting leader smaller than in 2008
The event began more than an hour late after a travel delay in Cleveland, causing those at the rally to have to wait several hours to see Romney after the sun had gone down. This led to a commotion near the press area when a small group of people tried to leave the rally though a secure perimeter established by the Secret Service. Some of the attendees complained that they were cold and felt trapped; with the aid of Romney advance staff and the Secret Service, they were redirected to usable exits.
Throughout the weekend, Romney stopped in eight battleground states where he touted his ability to reach across the aisle and pledged to work closely with Democrats if he is elected. Crowds ranging from 2,000 to more than 17,000 crowded into airplane hangars, amphitheaters, factories and warehouses to hear Romney's message of "real change."
MORE: Election Day countdown: what voters need to now
"Now on Tuesday, the choice of the American people could lead to one of two very different destinations," Romney told a rally in Cleveland. "If the president were to be re-elected he would, it's possible but not likely, if he were to be re-elected, he will still be unable to work with people in Congress."
He also stressed the importance of turnout, telling supporters inside the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines to get "everyone we know" to the polls.
"Gotta get that done!" Romney said as the crowd of 4,440 enthusiastic supporters cheered and applauded. "This is a huge; this is a huge turnout, and what makes this rally and all your work that much more inspiring is because you're doing it because you care about America."
This could be particularly important in Iowa or Romney. A new Des Moines Register poll released Saturday gave Obama a 5-percentage-point lead - 47% to 42%. It was Romney's second rally in Iowa in two days.
Iowa, like several swing states, has seen its economy improve over the last four years - a trend that Obama will likely point out during his final rally in the state Monday.
But Romney surrogate, Gov. Terry Branstad, said the improvement had nothing to do with the president during his remarks at the rally. "If Obama wants to take credit for the economy let him take credit for it in Illinois - but not Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio - the Republican governors are leading the way," Branstad said.
With an eye toward undecided voters - women and independents in particular - Romney is vowing to work closely with "good Democrats" if elected. The pledge of bipartisan cooperation fueled Obama's candidacy four years ago. But for Romney, the bipartisan appeal became the focus of his campaign in recent weeks.
"On Nov. 6 we're going to come together for a better future. On Nov. 7, we'll get to work," Romney said in Iowa. "You reach across the street to that neighbor with the other yard sign. And I'll reach across the aisle to people in the other party, people in good faith, because this time demands bringing America together."
His campaign would not say whether Romney's transition team, which has already begun to craft legislation designed for release on his first day in office, has reached out to Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"I don't think there's been any outreach," Madden said aboard Romney's campaign plane Sunday. "Once we win, I think the governor is going to do his best to work with as many folks as possible."
