Skip to comments.Sen. Graham challenges Joint Chiefs' Chairman on Benghazi testimony
Posted on 05/09/2013 4:51:55 PM PDT by what's up
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a sharp and unusual challenge to the truthfulness of the nations top uniformed military commander on Thursday, demanding that U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, return to Capitol Hill to provide fresh testimony on the Benghazi attacks.
The point of contention involved whether any military officers issued an order to U.S. armed forces personnel on the night of Sept. 11, when the U.S. consulate and a nearby annex came under terrorist attack, to stand down from providing assistance.
I asked [Gen. Dempsey] directly, Graham said in an exclusive interview with Fox News. Were there any military assets in motion, to help folks in Benghazi, [that were] told to stand down? And what did [State Department whistleblower] Greg Hicks say? That Lt. Col. [Steve] Gibson -- a DOD employee, a member of the Army -- was in Tripoli, ready and willing to go to Benghazi, preparing to go to Benghazi, and was told to stand down.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The reason why Graham is first on the news cycle for this request is because he'll fold like a cheap suit when push comes to shove.
All roads lead to our Commander in Chief, you know the guy who got bin Laden.
You KNOW Dempsey in 0bama's lapdog when "Light in the Loafers Lindsey" challenges his veracity!
Keep pushing. The dam will break.
When the Left wants something to go away, it gets McCain and Graham to vomit all over the issue.
Remember... no showboating, Graham.
Yep, the pieces never fit in a lie, let alone the Big Lie.
If you ask enough question, the Lie suddenly is exposed.
Obozo lies 24/7. And his actions indicate he serves the father-of-lies.
The only place Graham keeps his chin up (as far as conservatives go) is supporting our military and defense operations. We should support him on this and encourage him to stand firm.
Someone probably has a "get out of jail free" birth certificate and my bet is on Hillary. One of these libs is liable to spill the beans about what really happened in Benghazi and I hope it's sooner rather than later.

A Pentagon spokesman already admitted the Spec Ops team was ordered to stand down. The Administration has been playing a word game. They claim the team was never ordered to "stand down" - they just weren't authorized to go to Benghazi. Riiiight. Lying slimeballs.
From what I can gather Dempsey is an empty tunic.....
For all we know, this was the best way to wind it down in their minds. Clean.
Benghazi is deep. Benghazi was the curtain dropping.
Benghazi has exposed the real Obama to all of our people in harm's way.
The level of distrust in the ranks of the State Department, the CIA, and the military must be extraordinary.
This administration is extremely dangerous to those who work under it.
America, under the command of Obama, refused to protect it's own.
Payback time.
These weapons were being funneled to Syria through Benghazi, Libya. To have this information revealed before the election would have cooked Zer0's goose.
"All roads lead to our Commander in Chief, you know the guy who got bin Laden."
Has Barack Obama ever been held accountable for anything in his entire life? Don't expect it to begin now.
"They were simply told not to go to Benghazi." Dempsey needs to retire tomorrow. He's lost all effectiveness. "Trust is the foundation of all relationships." How can any Soldier trust him now? When I was a Second Lieutenant, it was impressed on me by my bosses (in no uncertain terms) that when I called in that I had crossed the SP (Starting Point) I had better damn well be telling the truth. Here we have what, a four star general who can't be honest? I wouldn't tolerate that from a Second Lieutenant, much less a four star general. He has to go. Lives depend on it. He'll have a good retirement check.
"Al Qaeda in Syria".
Let's anchor that phrase.
The most mysterious unanswered question is when will the survivors give testimony.
So Benghazi will now boil down to semantics !!!
They weren't told to stand down, just don't go...
How Clintonian...
This government fish is rotting from the head down. An African communist Commander-in-Chief is certainly not going to have as his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs a general who has any integrity. Sure enough, Dempsey is not only a faggot-hugging political hack, he's also a brazen liar. The two of them are destroying the greatest military in the world. Slowly but surely.
Has any Senator, House member or SCOTUS judge ever been held accountable for anything in his/her entire life?
The American system is broken because the American people are broken.
Hey Graham:
This time don't forget to swear him in.
Graham is all sound and (fabulous) fury.
I despise these a$$holes.
I would gladly send them to Benghazi or Quetta or Khost.
No phones.
No entourage.
No money.
No food.
Call it a vacation.
You are so right. The Al Qaeda rebels in Syria received these weapons through Benghazi. This is the worst foreign policy catastrophe of all. The Obama Regime is helping turn over Syria to the Al Qaeda. Syria borders Israel. We will be watching Israel be hit with rocket attacks loaded with sarin gas supplied by Iran. Sarin is estimated to be over 500 times more toxic than cyanide and it can be absorbed through the skin. People who do not get a lethal dose will have permanent neurological damage.
Dempsey's and the other military commanders statements that the Ready Reaction Teams were not available, were too far away, etc. is total BS. I would expect that all were on high alert and on standby for immediate deployment for the anniversary of 911. 5 hour deployment for the Italian team is pure BS. Non-deployment of ONE of the African/Mid-East teams was a choice not a fact. And since we have a multitude of drones over in the area one or two armed drones could have been there in minutes. They need to relieve from duty, court martial and drum out of service a good portion of the "political" military commanders.
Have some faith, not necessarily in lindsey, but in good decent people who might surprise you.
Obama knowingly lied about a video, ran off to the UN and gave a speech referencing that video and saying "The Future Must Not Belong to Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam"
He gives F16's to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
He goes to Mexico, criticizes the United States and invites their illegal entry to the United States - promising no prosecution and enticing them with blanket citizenship.
He has LaRaza in the White House.
Do I have to go on?
Have the retard Democrats and the pussy Republicans figured out what's going on? Silence is complicity. Acquiesce is complicity.
The man hates the United States and seeks to harm it. His loyalty is not to the United States. His instinct is not favorable to the United States, his reflex is to Islam.
He KNEW the video was not to blame. HE KNEW! Yet he used it as a pretense "The Future Must Not Belong to Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam". His instinct wasn't to our dead ambassador or our military. His instinct was to defend Islam.
Rant over (for now)
What scares me the most is they blamed a Coptic Christian for making a video that led to this protest. Is this the beginning of blaming Christians for the troubles in the world? Why hasn't anyone mentioned this angle to this story. Our government is persecuting Christianity to save Islam.
Didn't he also shoot Liberty Valance?
generals have been fired for less...
In the last couple of years a few have gone just for a stupid statement...
How much faster should a general go who is accountable for the deaths of Americans...
along with Obama, Hillary etc...
Here ya go, Barry
My question would be to the joint chiefs would be,where do you keep the Crystal ball that tells you how long an attack will last,and we can ask Defense Secretary Panetta why he says that we don't send our people into a situation that we don't know what is happening?but we do know how long it is going to last? Someone better put all this carp together
Have some faith, not necessarily in lindsey, but in good decent people who might surprise you.
***Exactly how many real conservatives can you count that are involved in the process at the level of Lindsey Backstabber Graham?
Oh jeez, ya know what, I am not interested in going through the whole crazy mess and name names. All I'm stating, take it or leave it, is to have some faith and maybe, just maybe keep a positive mindset. But hey, some here seem to revel in being down and out - have at it. I'm not interested.
And there is an upcoming election. He wants six more years in the Senate.
I disagree. obama's voters never consider issues such as national security or anything else there concerns were: 1. Who will give me the most freebies.2. Wil my freebies continue. 3. obama is not a Republican. 3. obama is not a Conservative. 4. obama is not a Christian. 5. obama hates America as much as I do. 6. obama hates Whites as much as I do. 7.I, myself, being born White wish to show that I hate both myself for being born that way and tthat I am not racists. I will accomplish that by voting for obama.
The above covers the obama voters from head to foot issuewise.
"When the political winds shift I will go with the muslims"......we all thought that was a reference to his view of Israel vs. Islam.....it wasn't. He was speaking directly to which side he would choose when radical, terroristic, islam vs. the U.S.A.
Balls from little Linsey lop de lou. Mighty uppity from him.
Spot on! The DemonRATs could have ran a "Yellow Dog Democrat," a reference to southern Democrats said to be so loyal they would even vote for a yellow dog if it were labeled Democrat. In our case they ran a . . . black DemonRAT.

When you're sitting in the back of a business jet, you're entrusting the aircraft and its pilots to deliver you safely to your destination. One big reason you can count on them to do that is because Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) govern your flight.

In a recent discussion of sports with my British colleague Charles Alcock, he talked about England's historic admiration for what he described as the "gifted amateur." This was illustrated best in the 1981 movie Chariots of Fire, the story of Harold Abrahams, the gold-medal winner in the 100-meter dash at the 1924 Olympics.

First, some good news: aircraft ownership, while expensive, offers many tax benefits. A business jet may generate, say, $2 million of out-of-pocket costs annually, but if all of those costs are deductible against taxable income, your after-tax out-of-pocket costs might be only $1.2 million.

All takeoffs are optional but all landings are mandatory. It's one of those clever dark-humor catchphrases that permeate aviation and it speaks an unerring truth. Once you break ground and clear the security of the runway, you've left behind the one option that absolutely guarantees you will not have an airplane crash today.

You're getting where you need to go-most of the time, at least. But what about everyone else in the company who needs to fly? Is the corporation missing opportunities? Are you paying too much for aviation services? It can be challenging for top management to answer such questions. Here are 10 rules to follow to ensure that your flight department is operating effectively.

If insuring a jet were like insuring a car, you wouldn't need this article-or much help at all. You'd simply call your insurance agent, tell him what model you were buying, make a few quick decisions about coverage limits and be done with it.

Ask a pilot what keeps an airplane in the sky and he'll most likely talk about the forces of lift, thrust, gravity and drag; power-to-weight ratios; and possibly "airfoils"-the word used to describe the wings' shape. Or maybe he'll answer simply, "Your credit card." Either way, it's not much comfort when you're eight miles above terra firma with no visible means of support.

Exactly how do you suppose the imminent arrival of very light jets will change the aviation landscape? We've heard opinions from an army of analysts, but history makes clear the hazards of paying too much heed to "expert" prognostication.

Chartering out your jet when you don't need it can seem like a no-lose proposition. It's certainly not earning you any money sitting in a hangar. On the contrary. So why not put it to work to help defray your ownership costs? You may well want to do just that, but not before you've carefully weighed the pros and cons.

I have been using this product for a few years and the last couple cans I bought have been different in color and texture. It is dryer and darker in color and I can tell a difference in the results from taking it. I contacted NOW and was told the recent batches were from a new vendor and it "should be ok". I ended up switching to Lewis Labs brand and am happy with it, although the price is around $5 higher.

Sentencing in Eight United States District Courts, 1973-1978 (ICPSR 8622)
Principal Investigator(s): Forst, Brian; Rhodes, William
This data collection provides information about sentencing patterns established by the United States District Courts for federal offenses. It is one of only a few studies that examine federal sentencing patterns, court involvement, sentencing, and criminal histories. Eleven types of crimes are included: bank robbery, embezzlement, income tax evasion, mail theft, forgery, drugs, random other, false claims, homicide, bribery of a public official, and mail fraud. There are three kinds of data files that pertain to the 11 types of crimes: psi files, offense files, and AO files. The psi files describe defendant demographic background and criminal history. The offense files contain questions tailored to a particular type of offense committed by a defendant and the results of conviction and sentencing. The AO files provide additional information on defendants' background characteristics, court records, and dates of court entry and exit.
Access Notes
The public-use data files in this collection are available for access by the general public. Access does not require affiliation with an ICPSR member institution.

I wonder how the rails setup is on OS X Server and if it is production/deployment ready. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Honestly, the convience is nice, but just the fact that it is happening is what thrills me. This is big.
I saw that in a comment on DHH's most recent post on LoudThinking. Very cool.
from what DHH said, they're implementing it as a gem and not some apple-only install system, which is great because updating will be nice and simple, and gem is a great standard. (too many times when companies do these type of things they screw it up by trying to dominate it, or by putting their 'shine' on it)
yet another reason to go mac, I'm waiting for the 64-bit macbook pro's to arrive then think I'll jump ship ;0)
Sweet, less work for me in the spring
I'm looking forward to Mail 3.0 and Time Machine more though

Network Stocks: 2 Buys, 2 Sells
Cisco (CSCO)
With seven consecutive earnings beats, network giant Cisco continues to move in the right direction. It still seems the company has an uphill battle when it comes to convincing a market that rarely forgives and certainly never forgets.
There aren't many companies outside of Apple(AAPL) that have had the string of recent performance as Cisco. In fact, over the past seven quarters Cisco has demonstrated consistent revenue growth averaging over 6% while averaging 5% profit growth during that span.
The company started its fiscal 2013 just as it ended 2012, with another earnings beat. The network giant reported net income of $2.6 billion, or 48 cents per share, on revenue of $11.9 billion. Not only was this enough to beat analysts' estimates of 46 cents per share, but the results also represented 11% profit growth.
Likewise, revenue grew by 6%, exceeding Street expectations of $11.77 billion. Cisco continues to see excellent improvement in its services business with revenue growing year-over-year by 12%. Some of the company's largest customers have contributed to the growing demand as evident by the 9% increase in orders. The stock is a steal at current levels.
Juniper (JNPR)
Cisco's resurgence means it is stealing market share from rivals such as Juniper. Juniper has always had a solid product portfolio; unfortunately, it has lacked in execution. Unlike Cisco's recent M&A acquisitions, Juniper has not been able to find new ways to grow and its R&D attempts have been uninspiring. As a result, the company has not been able to create any sort of momentum.
Remarkably, the stock has yet to show these concerns. This means that at a P/E of 51 with marginal growth, shares are just too expensive. If Juniper can make a play for new entrants such as Palo Alto Networks (PANW) or Aruba Networks (ARUN) , then it might have a chance. But as it stands, both are better long-term options than Juniper.
I would be a seller here. The company is heading in the opposite direction and investors would be wise to stay away, at least until management can demonstrate that the company has a solid plan for the future. On the other hand, should the stock drop by another 20%, I'm willing to reconsider.
F5's recent earnings miss made investors uncomfortable. Although 6% profit growth in a tough macro climate should be considered decent, it fell short of analysts' estimates of $1.18 per share on revenue of $366.1 million. Essentially, although F5 grew revenue and EPS by 15% and 6%, respectively, the company missed on both its top and bottom lines.

Airbus to Overhaul Chinese Air Traffic System
Airbus on Wednesday announced a new agreement with China's Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) to begin modernizing the nation's air traffic system.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) authorized the new partnership, which calls for Airbus ProSky--the air traffic management subsidiary of Airbus--to focus on launching four projects this year, including; air traffic flow management, airport collaborative decision making, implementation of Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) approaches at Chengdu Airport and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) at Beijing Capital Airport.
CAAC is looking to improve the air traffic management practices of one of the most delayed air transportation systems in the world. According to flight data provider FlightStats, just 18 percent of flights from Beijing Capital Airport took off on time for the month of June, and the second most delayed airport in the same month was Shanghai.
According to CAAC, Chinese airlines handled 319 million passengers in 2012, a 9.2 percent rise from 2011. CAAC attributed 26 percent of delays last year to air-traffic management, thus leading to the need for the new partnership with Airbus.
"The cooperation will help us draw on the experience of other regions to develop our future ATM systems, which will be more integrated with global systems," said Wang Liya, director general of CAAC ATMB.
According to the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), China is expected to lead the global increase in passenger demand on domestic routes through 2016 with an additional 193 million passengers projected to travel domestically on Chinese carriers over the next three years.

We can do more to build public awareness about the destructive ramifications of wildlife trafficking.
That was the key rallying point at a meeting that I convened recently with members of the wildlife NGO community -- all of them working in different ways to address trafficking, whether through lobbying governments, supporting law enforcement efforts, building awareness campaigns, or working with partners to create change.
In this, I was joined by Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Robert Hormats, and Kerri-Ann Jones, Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, two of the many key State Department officials helping to lead international efforts to address and respond to wildlife trafficking.
The purpose of the meeting was not to revisit the hard work we are all doing, however. It was to explore ways in which we can use social media and public events to send the world some powerful messages about the importance of safeguarding wildlife. And I was proud and buoyed by the thoughtful, vigorous discussion of ideas by passionate, committed people intent to help curb the slaughter of these animals before it is too late.
We talked about some of the operational challenges we face, including the reluctance of some governments to enforce laws, and the lack of unity in laws -- as ivory is legal in some situations and regions but not in others. But we agreed that these should not deter us from issuing key messages.
Those messages, we agreed, should point out that, as long as poachers continue to slaughter and exploit wildlife, aided and abetted by governments, organized crime and consumers, we face an irreversible threat to our ecology, environment, economies, and security. We should also underscore our moral obligation to protect our fellow creatures. By standing up to protect wildlife and condemn the barbaric practices of trafficking, we can all stand on the right side of history and encourage others to do the same.
All agreed on the need for vigorous efforts to educate and increase awareness in all countries in the trafficking supply and demand chain -- from the countries that have wildlife habitats, to the countries that allow trade and transportation, to the many countries where the final products are bought and sold.
All concurred that we need to focus on constituencies around the world who purchase commodities based on the desire for social status or mistaken ideas about their medical benefits. We discussed creating an online "pledge" campaign among young people -- especially in critical regions of Asia -- to refrain from buying wildlife products.
Condemnation will not be as effective as offering alternative options or arguments -- in this, we were in total agreement. Some examples of that included offering individuals the opportunity to protect cheetahs at large instead of owning them as exotic pets; or pointing out the economic benefits of wildlife as a source of eco-tourism revenue versus the inevitable outcome of slaughtering endangered species.
We learned of the many innovative things that wildlife advocates are already doing. They include an app that identifies animals that should be protected and allows people to report illegal trafficking. They also include recruiting religious leaders to support messages about conservation; encouraging websites to help ban the online trade in wildlife products; and informing tourists to hunting regions about the products that they should not purchase.
Under Secretary Hormats and Assistant Secretary Jones discussed the State Department's work in conserving wildlife, and addressing wildlife trafficking, which is also addressed by our Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.
We also announced some other initiatives we are launching -- including yesterday's event at the State Department, where Secretary Clinton convened ambassadors, NGO representatives and corporate officials, to a diplomatic event devoted to wildlife trafficking. On December 4, we will continue to build public awareness about trafficking by marking Wildlife Conservation Day with events at our embassies and consulates around the world. Among our scheduled activities are a web-chat featuring Jeff Corwin of Animal Planet and a special video message from Secretary Clinton.
The challenges continue, and we agreed to keep finding more ways to address them -- together and in partnership across the public, private and NGO sectors. We look forward to the outcomes we can achieve by working together.

Sachin V. in India writes:
Sometimes it is our ignorance that poses serious challenges to a species. Making people aware about wildlife conservation is half the battle won. Social media can act as an enabler and be proved helpful in spreading the awareness. Government agencies and private entities, both should work hand in hand to make this world a better place to the fellow children of mother nature.

Skip to comments.Fox: Obama rejects Boehner's "Plan B," says he's "compromised enough"
Posted on 12/19/2012 8:39:16 AM PST by pabianice
Pretty much says it all. Further announcements scheduled for later today.
Bang the gavel Boehner. Adjourn and send your members home. obama owns the economy and the fiscal cliff and all it's consequences. Just go home.
How is stating you are unwilling to compromise,compromise?
Pass it, ship it over to Harry and send everyone home for the holidays.
Nah, Boehner will find a way to hang it around the GOP's neck instead. After all, he wants to liked by his democrat buddies.
Obama's union handlers won't accept anything less than higher taxes funneled directly to them.
Let Ubama and the Democrats own it.
I'm assuming this is just the income tax rate stuff...just an emergency measure in case The Won can't get his stuff together to make a larger deal.
Be very careful...fiscal cliff is exactly what Obama wants.
Obama and Boehner both need to realize that Obama is holds one position in government. He was reelected in 2012 but 435 House members were also reelected and they were elected as well.
Those 435 people were put in office to represent their constituents. Someone needs to remind the Dicktator.
He's looking for more ways to compromise and capitulate rather than being hung with the "repubs fault" we drove over the cliff. Hey, maybe he could throw in some verbiage about banning high capacity magazines for people making less than 100k per year. (is that magazines over 100 pages?)
Share the lead.
This is why the bill Bohner is passing is important : extending rates for below $1M.
That allows him (B) to point out that now O is rejecting tax cut extensions for 99.9% of voters until he gets increases in the debt limit(without spending cuts) , meaning he is holding our taxes hostage, instead of Republicans falling into that trap.
That is how you play the game O usually wins at.
No, my family and myself should not suffer to make a political point. That is pure evil.
Screw it.
That's going to happen no matter what the hapless Boehner does or says.
I agree with telling Barry, "OK, Merry Christmas!" and then just turn out the lights.
The gutless old party SHOULD be screaming every day about how many days it's been since America had a BUDGET.
Hey, Boehner, How is this all working for you? Keep banging your head against the wall until it stops hurting.
I wrote to my congresscritter — Griffith, 9th VA — to take the lead on conservative issues in the House via email.
I did not even get the pro forma auto response that is normal for most congressional offices.
Instead, I was automatically signed up for his E-newsletter.
There has to be some serious reform in the House. Congress can no longer be seen as a career, but rather a temporary job that lasts 4-6 years and you're gone without a pension.
Just my opinion on the subject.
Obama = Obstructionist
You're going to suffer anyway. Ubama is going to get his way.
You think Obamacare is going away? You think jobs are coming back?
President Cloward-Piven's only goal is to "overwhelm the system," and we have already passed the point of no return.
The sooner it happens, they sooner we can start on the reconstruction, after the guilty parties have been dealt with, of course.
Out of 20Trillion in added debt, one side wanted to cut $1.7T and the other wanted to cut $1.2T
We are dead
Boner will go down in history as the most useless speaker ever. Gingrich should go and show him how its done.
In the spirit of bipartisanship, Obama has been willing to compromise, putting two plans on the table:
A My way.
B The highway.
If only he'd go down as the most useless.
He is WORSE than useless and has gone so far as helping the other side win.
ARE YOU LISTENING, BOEHNER?! Obama is NO friend or fellow colleague.
Now hold the line on the debt ceiling debate!
The Republicans in the House need to pass THEIR BILL.
Extend the Bush Tax Cuts.
Then adjourn and let the Senate and the President deal with it.
The hell with him then. Submit a bill, call it a BAFO (Best and Final Offer) and walk away. ut the ball in this chump's court once and for all.
I so very much despise these people to the point of spitting. They have managed to wreck each and every Christmas since they got in office.
No debt limit hike, no more offers. Take it or leave it.
The GOP is continuing the drive to extinction.
Boehner looks weak and stupid...the GOP needs a wartime consigliere.
Yep, instead we get Fredo...
just hafta wait and see if this isnt merely posturing to save the speakership, with a monumental cave soon to come...
its not like these brilliant politicians cant understand the SOL strategies, more like they *dont* do them, for nefarious purposes...
Be very careful...fiscal cliff is exactly what Obama wants.
I hope this blows up in the son of satan's face.
Exactly what I am expecting unfornuately.
The problem is, and it happened time and time again with this House, is they camp out on the MOST unpopular positions until even their OWN district voters turn on them calling up screaming at them, and then they give into O everything he demands. Then its boo-hoo-hoo, blame the MSM, the voters and victim whine...
O is on TV right now rejecting this <$1M proposal.
Maybe if Bonehead and Cantor throw in gun control and amnesty, along
with more Free Obama Phones, they can get the Grandest of All Bargains
they so desperately desire.
The fiscal cliff is the result of the Grand Bargain the GOP signed onto
two years ago with the debt ceiling deal.
If they don't like the deal now
Why did they like it two years ago?
Be very careful...fiscal cliff is exactly what Obama wants.
In this case just like the SS/FICA battle Rs lost EXACTLY a year ago it is different group helping O.
calling a bill that keeps our taxes from going up a 'tax increase' is just plain dishonest
O on TV NOW is rejecting it claiming that " Republicans are once again with plan B just playing politics and need to do the RIGHT thing for the American people "
(meaning, give in to all his demands), But he says he is optimistic that the Rs will do the right thing (meaning, give in to all his demands),
what is missing is a R party leader on TV calling O out for raising OUR taxes to get his debt limit extension by rejecting this bill.
I wondered that too.
To my knowledge, Obama's only compromise ever was the debt ceiling deal of 2011, whereby they kicked the can ahead to now. That deal didn't do anything but raise the debt ceiling. The fiscal cliff it set up, supposedly, was to motivate a deal, to be shaped by the vote of the American people. The American people spoke and returned Obama with a reduced majority and Boehner also with a reduced majority. What are they going to do now? Boehner's compromise proposal is minimalist (from our point of view). It is one step removed from kicking the can to the next election. But, going over the fiscal cliff is not going to be sufficient. In a couple months, they will have to either bring the budget into balance or raise the debt ceiling again. As amazing as this sounds, with the tax rates raised up to the pre-Bush level, with domestic discretionary and military spending cut by 10 percent across the board, it wouldn't take much in the way of entitlement reform to actually balance the budget. Going over the fiscal cliff would be balanced in the sense of forcing almost everybody to contribute something. Subsequent entitlement reform would expand the fairness and balance of the sacrifice.
E. Pluribus Unum said to basically get out of the way and let the DIMs run roughshot over the American people and they will get the blame - somehow that never happens.

quote RondoThat is currently what I'm doing, I find out myself, you equip Dart with the soul eater, then when he gets to 1HP it will kill him, thus distributing the EXP to the rest of the party, I'm almost at level 60 with everybody, I already got 5 guys out of the way, now all I need is Kongol and Dart.Winglies Coliseum? I grind there to get Dancing Rings.
There's also a method where you have two of your characters at 1 HP and let them get killed in battle so that the other characters you have on the back get more EXP. But this is only worth it training where you can battle those 2000 EXP Triceratops.
quote LOD-squaI think in Vellweb is one of the best places. There's the spot where Shirley was, and if you stay in the screen to the right, every time you go to the left and walk into that area, you'll be healed. Great things about this healing spot is that to the right of the screen where I actually run around and do stuff, there's also those peddlers, so if you have to use items in battle, you can go restock right there. Also, the creatures around the area are powerful enough to be somewhat of a challenge for you weaker characters and not so incredibly weak that using your more powerful ones doesn't seem like too bad of overkill.Which healing spot would you say is the best bet to train at abbisonny? I am interested in hearing this so I can try it out during one of my playthroughs.

Drucella Murphy, 83 of 909 Main St., Carrier Mills, died 7:05 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014, at the Harrisburg Medical Center in Harrisburg.
Funeral services will be held 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 20, 2014, at the Carrier Mills First Baptist Church. Visitation was held 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014, at Felty Funeral Home in Carrier Mills. The Rev. Harl Cockrum and the Rev. Ryan Beck will officiate. Burial will be in Salem Cemetery in Carrier Mills. Memorials may be made to the Carrier Mills First Baptist Church or pledge in her name for blood donation to the American Red Cross.
She was born on May 5, 1930, in Pontiac, Mich., to the late Calvin and Lucille (Smith) Carpenter.
She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 67 years whom she married on Aug, 29, 1947, Charles A. Murphy of Carrier Mills; their two sons: Charles L. (Maureen) Murphy and Dennis J. (Lynn) Murphy, all of Harrisburg; five grandchildren: Lori (Brian) Ivey, Brian (Emily) Murphy, Audrey (Chris) Bernard, Amy (Barry) Murphy and Ashley (Cameron Brown – fiancee) Murphy. She has nine great-grandchildren: Emma, Madilyn and Walker Ivey, Maya, Tess and Ellis Murphy, Caitlyn and Lucy Bernard, Oliver Wilken and one expected in February. She has two stepgrandchildren: Brandon (Kim) Joggerst, Angela (Michael) Ratcliff; five great-stepgrandchildren: Kaden, Kendell and Kenley Joggerst; Preston and Kennedy Ratcliff.
She was preceded in death by her parents; twin sister: Luella Bryant; and brother: Garry Carpenter.
Drucella was born and raised in Pontiac, Mich. She attended Pontiac High School. She was employed by "Ma" Bell Telephone Company as a switchboard operator and also worked for General Motors. Upon moving to Illinois in 1957 she worked as a bookkeeper at Okeefe Motors in Carrier Mills, later working at BHO Motors in Harrisburg before retiring from her last job as business manager of 10 years at Smith-Reynolds Chevrolet in Eldorado.
Drucella regularly attended and was a member of Carrier Mills First Baptist Church, which she loved dearly. She was a member of the WMU Mosaic Mission Group as well as the Daughters of Ruth Sunday School Class.
Drucella was a founding member of the Michigan Club.
Drucella was a matriarch with unconditional love, joy, compassion for her family and friends. Mom/Grammy was always ready to do things and go places. She was easy to get to know as well as having the ability find out a person's "life history" or so it seemed, without them realizing it. Without a doubt she was happiest when her family, especially her grandkids and great-grandchildren were with her. She will be sadly missed but her memories will forever be cherished by all who knew and loved her.

The Columbus Dispatch - February 24, 2014 03:49 PM
Matthew McConaughey better prepare a heartwarming - and short! - speech.
According to local big data company Farsite, the star of Dallas Buyers Club is the overwhelming favorite to win the best actor award at Sunday's Hollywood gala.
Sorry Leo and Chiwetel, but the Columbus-based company correctly predicted the winners of five of the big six categories last year.
It did so "using a first-of-its kind data science tool that incorporates more than 40 years of film industry and Academy Award releated information to forecast probabilities for the winners," said Farsite's Michael Gold.
McConaughey has an 82 percent chance of winning, according to the Farsite data.
Other Farsite predictions:
Best Picture: 12 Years a Slave (55 percent)
Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity (72 percent)
Actress: Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine (59 percent)
Supporting actor: Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club (86 percent)
Supporting actress: Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave (83 percent)

|Alpine Skiing - Varsity Boys USSA/Tristate - U/16
|Event Type:
|January 26, 2013
|see recap
Event Recap:
This past weekend, the Bears divided their impressive array of deeply talented forces to compete in USSA races across the region. Individual athletes were competing in races across the region—from Wachussett, MA through New Hampshire and all the way to Killington, VT. Considering the distance they travelled and the strength of competition, we are very proud of the effort demonstrated by these dedicated, talented young skiers.
Also on Sunday, a number of Berkshire Bears in the U16 division ventured south to Ski Sundown, in New Hartford, CT (for some of our athletes, it was the second race there in three days!) for a Slalom start. Even with the repeated commute and the 5:45 am departure time, our athletes did very well indeed on a demanding, tactically challenging track. Fourth Form Phenom and "Flying Frenchwoman" Elise Chauvel '15 led the girls by posting two solid runs and landing on the podium, in second place overall. Congratulations, Elise! Next for the Bears came steady and reliable Annette Key '16, who took 10th place, and then Caroline Slyer '16, who moved from a bib position of 49th to finish in 18th overall. Also making a move, Samantha Reagan '16—who started with bib 52--moved up to a 22nd place finish, far and away her best skiing this season, as she continues to improve with each race start.
On the boys' side, we encountered a bit of controversy. The course was fair and yet very challenging to the more than four score boys attempting it, claiming 40 of them who either fell and couldn't continue or fell and had to hike back into the course. Bryce Schuler '15 started his first run with speed and confidence before he, too, fell victim to the course and fell. Due to a discrepancy between race officials—who gave conflicting directions to Bryce while he was recovering from his fall—Bryce's coaches argued for and were awarded a provisional 2nd attempt at the first run, and although this caused him to start last in the order, Bryce skied to an incredible 4th place finish. However, during the race jury meeting afterward the officials decided, despite the protests of his coaches, to disqualify Bryce—according to USSA regulations, the onus is always on the athlete, even if the officials give him incorrect information. Still, we are very proud of his strong, focused performance—throughout the ordeal, Bryce never lost his characteristic cool. Our other boy competing, the stealthy and crafty Ben Lang '15, began the race with bib 107. After his second run, however, Ben had finished in 30th overall!
Not too shabby, Bears… a strong USSA race weekend! In true ski racing form, we witnessed the highs and lows of a sport dictated by athleticism, preparation, and the occasional moment of drama. We are very proud of all our racers, for their mettle, focus, and grit.

It's that time again — that period in between tour legs when everything seems eerily quiet on the Springsteen front. We can't help but wonder what may be looming just beyond the horizon: A new album announcement? A full 2014 tour that brings Bruce back to U.S. shores? An "Other Band" reunion? (Shane Fontayne is still waiting for the phone to ring.)
Meanwhile, there are any number of Springsteen-related distractions to occupy yourself with — not the least of which is this spectacular cover of "The River" by The Unusual Suspects (and friends) of Waterford, Ireland, released to raise funds for the families of four Irish fishermen who died in a fishing tragedy in June. It's a fairly straightforward cover, but somehow manages to capture the song's tragic underbelly while avoiding the charity-single cheesiness that tends to come when artists trade verses as they go along. Grab it on iTunes/ie.

What is Boa?
With over 25 million Boa-powered products worldwide, the award-winning, patented Boa Closure System is reinventing how shoes, medical braces, equipment, and nearly everything else performs.
Our proprietary closure system of steel Lace, nylon guides and a mechanical reel was designed to address the long list of deficiencies found in traditional closures. In the process, we improved upon the performance of every other closure system on the market—from laces to buckles, and ratchets to hook and loop systems.
The result? Get a perfect fit with the simple turn of a knob, free of the stretch, weight, and hassles of old-fashioned closures. Enjoy a significantly improved level of comfort along with durability, light weight, fast and convenient operation, and on-the-fly adjustment. The list of advantages goes on.
The system is available in three different power configurations to integrate into a wide variety of products—all designed to provide a truly "Dialed In" fit never before experienced.
How it Works
Turn to Tighten + Quick Release
Boa offers different user interfaces to suit the construction and performance demands of every product we are on. These interfaces are intuitive and deliver clear performance advantages over traditional shoelaces and other speed lacing systems. Our Turn to Tighten + Quick Release interface is our tried and true interface that is found on most snowboard boots, utility boots, and outdoor shoes.
Turn to Adjust + Quick Release
Boa offers different user interfaces to suit the construction and performance demands of every product we are on. These interfaces are intuitive, and deliver clear performance advantages over traditional shoelaces and other speed lacing systems. Our Turn to Adjust + Quick Release interface is our premium solution that offers incremental tightening and loosening, with the convenience of a quick release to easily get in and out of the product. This system is commonly found on cycling and golf shoes.

Love your product on my Korkers wading boots with Boa closure... thanks Boa for not having to deal with wet soggy laces"
– Ned/ Scotland
Over the past two seasons of riding, I've been incredibly impressed with the Boa Closure System. Ease of use and ability to quickly create a snug fit are second to none. People ask me about my shoes all the time, and I unfailingly sing your product's praises."
– Matt/ Ipswich, MA
The spare parts for my North Face boots arrived a little over a week after I placed the order with you. Not only does Boa manufacture a beautifully designed and functional product, but your service and after-sales support is nothing less than awesome."
– Ross/ Australia
I am the proud owner of a pair of Viking Gtx hiking shoes with Boa Closure and they have literally changed my life. 8 years ago, I was in a motocross accident which left my left arm paralyzed and I had not been able to tie my shoes until I got my Boa shoes. Thank you!
– Pål/ Norway
After years of abuse, snapped a cable on my K2 DBs. A free cable and 10 min later, my favorite boots are good as new. Will never own a snowboard boot without Boa Closure again."
– Mike/ Denver, CO
I just wanted to take a second and say that I absolutely LOVE my Boa boots. I bought them in 2006 and never once have I had a problem with them. I work on the mountain and constantly tell people that they need to get them!"
– Katie/ Beaver Creek, CO
Just wanted to write a quick thanks for my FootJoy Sport golf shoes with Boa Closure. They feel GREAT and are incredibly convenient and simple to use. Thanks Boa!"
– Jeff/ Charlotte, NC
I wear a Boa-powered ankle brace for basketball and volleyball. Not only does in protect my ankles but it is very comfortable and supportive. I made that ankle brace part of my life and now it has made my life so much better."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (290 votes).
In short: Decent enoughIn full: Well placed for London Marathon build-up. Did my first ever sub 1:30 Half here, but not the flattest route out there.Date of review: March 28, 2013
In short: Flat road course easy PB potential, nice number of runner and good mix of competitionDate of review: March 27, 2013
In short: Did this in 2013In full: The final bit of the race has to be run on the pavement up to Brentwood as the road is not closed. At 12 miles you are battling amongst supporters who are lining these pavements. If you are a slower runner you have to take on runners that have completed the race walking down this pavement too. They need to change this as at 12 miles you dont want to tackle dogs on leads and people!Date of review: March 27, 2013
In short: Good, but muddy fun runIn full: Was on course to beat my 2009 PB, but the final field was a complete bog and more Glastonbury than fun run. A shame as all the time I'd made counted for nothing as I spent most of the time trying not to slip into the mud! Good race overall, well organised, plenty of toilets and a friendly atmosphereDate of review: April 6, 2010
In short: Loads of fun runners, and well organised, but poor medalIn full: The course is a fast down hill start (5.40 pace is easy to do), followed by undulations. Mile 8 is a long up hill, but not steep. The final 3 miles are a gradual up hill with a little down hill before the final hill and then 0.1 mile finish down hill (did that at 5.23 pace!!!) This a well orgainised race, and the locals are very friendly!! there is load of water, loads of support and loads of traffic in parts, but fortunately this year drivers seemed much more relaxed and not speeding. I have done the race around 10 times and enjoy it, but each year it gets more expensive. The Church at the start does free tea and cakes afterwards, but got clever to us popping into to use the loo just before the start, shame as the paper was so soft. It would be nice if they could give out a better medal, and maybe a t-shirt rather than buying it for £9, some other races with lower race fees give them out for free. Maybe next yearDate of review: March 29, 2010
In short: A well organised race with a great feel to it.In full: Have done this race once before and it has improved since, support and marshelling has always been excellent, but now with chip timeing, water bottles and better toilets. A great start behind a marching band, and even though I was in costume so started near the back it was still well supported. Weather was perfect, the hills did not seem so bad either!!Date of review: March 26, 2010
In full: A wonderful race. Usual challenging course. But most of all it was well marshalled and supported along the course. Nice to see bottled water and also bins provided too. Downers, those who ignore the instructions of no ipods/mp3s and the medal. Got a funny feeling the organiser got a secret stash full of medals so every year they need to put new ribbons. But despite that, a great race and will return once again.Date of review: March 25, 2010
In short: Nice weatherIn full: Great to see bottled water this year - a big improvement.Only thing I was unhappy about was the "trigger happy" chap manning the A12 roundabout. He stopped us to let one car go through. Stopping runners in a race for such a trivial matter was pathetic. Sort it out for next year.Other than that, a nice race and hope to be back.Date of review: March 25, 2010
In short: Great support and organisation, some testing hills especially at the endIn full: Really well organised race at teh start and well marshalled all the way round. Some of the roads were quite busy, and you go across a roundabout on the A12 at one point (which involved a short stop) but i never felt in danger. The support was fantastic all the way round, but especially at the start and the finish, and provisional results were up at the venue within mminutes and on the web by mid-afternoon. Parking a bit of a problem - so get there in plenty of time!Date of review: March 25, 2010
In short: Well organised, lovely route. They even laid on the weather.In full: This is not an easy course but passes through some delightful villages with lots of support. At about 3 miles you have to battle with a roundabout from the busy A12 but it was very well marshalled. I was stopped twice to let cars pass but as it was for my own safety I accepted it as just one of those things. I will deffo be back next year.Date of review: March 23, 2010

Stereoscopic 3D TV and Blu-ray standalone player revenue in the U.S. has exceeded $55 million in the first three months since the launch of these products in February, according to market research company NPD Group. This number represents 0.03% of what customers in the U.S. are projected to spend on consumer electronics (CE) this year.
"3D TV and Blu-ray players are seeing steady growth even as major product line launches are slated for the coming months. As more consumers adopt 3D, the industry can help foster a 3D ecosystem similar to that of HD," said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis at NPD.
According to predictions of the Consumer Electronics Association (and not only it), sales of all consumer electronics products in the U.S. will exceed $165 billion in 2010 with in-home CE devices representing around $75 billion. Based on those numbers, the share of stereo-3D equipment as part of the overall yearly revenue seems to be either 0.03% or 0.073%, not exactly a success.
One inhibitor to adoption of 3D TV at home is the need to wear special glasses when watching stereo-3D TVs. These glasses can add significant cost and work only with their brand of television. Only 10% of consumers surveyed by NPD cited "looking silly" as a main concern of the glasses, whereas 41% cited not having enough glasses on hand for everyone watching the set.
"3D TV will be a premium home entertainment experience in 2010. Many consumers have already shown that they are willing to use special glasses to obtain the effects, but want to preserve the social aspect of the group television viewing," believes Mr. Rubin.

Lisa and Sophie, of Troop 7098, earned their Silver Awards. Their project was making and installing 40 plant posts that will be used to identify plants at the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve in Auburn. We are extremely proud of these two girls who designed, got the material donations, built and installed the posts, which are a wonderful addition to the facility.
We interviewed Lisa and Sophie about their project:
How did you come up with your idea?
Sophie: I told Lisa about working at the summer camp they do there every year and we both thought it would be fun to do a project there, so we contacted Mrs. Jen Lolly and started our project.
Lisa:I started eliminating things I didn't want to do and I came across the Forest Ecology Preserve.
Were you intimidated by the scale of the project?
Sophie: A little bit. At first you do not think that 50 hours of work is that much, but after working for what seems like a very long time and you relieze that you have only added up to 10 hours it starts to get intimidating.
Lisa:A little bit. I knew I had the rest of the year. We broke it up into different steps and just went through them one at a time.
How did you keep up the momentum for the project?
Sophie: Just the thought of what it would be when we are done :)
Were you ever discouraged?
Sophie: Just a tiny bit towards the end. When we still had a lot of hours to fill in and not much time to do so.
Lisa:A little bit at the end because we had to start thinking of deadlines.
What did you do to overcome that?
Sophie: We started working longer and harder
Lisa:I just remembered that it was almost over.
How will people benefit from this?
Sophie: People will be able to identify plants easier, maybe to the point to where they are as familiar with the plants as with the McDonalds sign!
Lisa: People will benefit from these because they will have the information right then and there without having to do much more then look at the sign.
How did you feel after you finished?
Sophie: It felt great that we had done such a huge project that the community would benefit from.
Lisa: It felt like a job well done and I could take a break.
Thanks, Lisa and Sophie, for sharing your process with us!
Do you have a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award story that you would like to share? We especially want to hear what girls have to say about their award process. Please contact email@example.com. We would love to feature it on our Girl Blog!
Want to learn more about girls' award experience, or meet potential community partners? Attend the Leadership Celebration event on April 13, 2013.

Have you ever wondered what product works best for weight loss, pain, an itchy bug bite or non-toxic cleaner? Shane Diet & Fitness Resorts has come up with a list of six must have items that are easy to find and inexpensive. These items will be as valuable as a box of bandages, and ice packs and we'll explain why.
- Aspirin: Why? It can be a lifesaver in the event of a heart attack. It thins your blood and impedes blood-clot formation. Chew one if you are having a toothache to help you survive the drive to your dentist. It is also still a terrific pain reliever, just be sure to take it as directed and with food.
- Baking Soda: When you forget to buy toothpaste, which we've all done, wet your tooth brush and press a small amount into it. Baking Soda is a mild abrasive, and whitens like mild bleach. Brush your tongue too and you will have fresh breath. Baking soda and a sponge can also be used to clean your basin, tub, toilet and tile.
- Banana Peel: You know the banana itself is good for you, but did you ever think of what you can do with the peel? Use the inside of the peel to shine shoes, then buff. Add the peel to a roasting pan to help tenderize meat.
- Cigarette Rolling Paper: You can buy a package of 100 for $1.00. Use them to help stop bleeding cuts from shaving accidents and keep a package in your purse to blot your skin when it gets oily or blot your lipstick.
- Measuring Tape: Working toward weight loss? Take your measurements every six weeks. Measure your upper right arm, your waist at belly button height, your hips and your right thigh. Sometimes the scale doesn't budge, but your size does. This could be the motivational push you need to keep you heading toward your weight loss goals.
- Witch Hazel: Pour some onto a wash cloth to cool and tone skin. It can take the red out of rosacea flair-ups, and help reduce the size of your pours. A cloth with witch hazel will also relieve discomfort from hemorrhoids and reduce the sting and swelling from bug bites, too.
We have all found ourselves in one of these six binds and having these must have items will help ensure that you are never caught in that situation again. Here at Shane Diet & Fitness Resorts, we think that it's key to always be prepared. And by making sure that you have these six items on hand at all times will help ensure that you're always preparedSix for any situation from helping with weight loss to brushing your teeth.
