Caught on Cam: TSA Agent Attacked
(KHNL) A homeless woman is accused of attacking a TSA officer at Honolulu International Airport, and the entire incident is caught on video.
Security video shows TSA officer Deanna Rezentes guarding the passenger exit to make sure no one entered the secured area on Saturday afternoon.
That's when the TSA says a homeless woman knocked down a sign and then began attacking and punching the TSA officer who confronted her.
It was a vicious scene.
Rezentes held onto the homeless woman, stopping her from entering the secured area on the way to airline gates.
But then, Corporal Justin Rogers, an off-duty policeman from California, leaped over a glass barrier and subdued the attacker.
He was wearing only socks because he'd taken off his shoes in the screening line.
Corporal Rogers was waiting in line with his family at the checkpoint before boarding a flight home to the San Francisco bay area.
The TSA released a written statement saying it's grateful for Rogers' selfless, decisive reaction to the assault.
State sheriffs deputies arrested and booked 43-year-old Wailana Haiola, who is homeless, with assault.
She was taken to Castle Medical Center in Kailua which has a mental unit.
People who work at the airport say between five and 15 homeless people sleep there every night, and most of them don't cause trouble.
"It's kind of like any other public place. People are allowed to be here and unless they're committing a crime or doing something to bother someone, they're allowed to be here like anyone else," said Caroline Sluyter with the Department of Transportation.
Some homeless people have told airport staff they like spending the night at the airport because with so much security, they consider it much safer than the streets.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Science, Lagoon, amusement park and Utah students got together recently for the annual Physics Day. Students combine a fun time riding rides with numerous physics questions to help the students gain a greater understanding of how and why the amusement park rides behave as they do and the force behind them.
More than 4,000 students from 100 schools participated in Physics Day including the eighth graders from Canyon View Junior High. Activities included filling out a workbook, physics bowl contest, Colossus' colossal G-force contest, physics demonstration design contest, Lagoon ride design contest, physics day logo contest.
The students became familiar with physics terms in class and also saw them put to work at Lagoon. The students learned about acceleration, the time rate of change of velocity either in speed or direction of motion. An accelerometer is a device to measure acceleration. The air resistance is the force resisting motion of a body through air due to the frictional forces between the air and body.
The students observed the old wooden roller coaster and determined the angles of ascent and descent on the first hill. They also identified three sources of friction on the ride. Students observed the bumper cars to see what happens when a collision takes place where the car isn't moving, rear end collisions, head-on collisions and sideswipes. Students determined what happened to a driver in each of these collision situations. On the Turn of the Century ride the students determined how long the ride lasted and how many times they went around. When stationary they determined how far away from the axis of rotation they were and when moving they determined how far away from the axis of rotation they were.
Students found rides which were examples of simple machines. Lever; inclined plane; screw with propeller, wedge; pulley; rollers and wheel and axle.
One of the most exciting forces at work this day was centripetal force which is the force on an object (student) pulling or pushing the object towards the center of its curved path. There was also a lot of friction which is the retarding force that resists the motion of a body. The G-force is the ratio of the magnitude of acceleration on a body to the acceleration of gravity at sea level on earth.
Science teachers, Eric Mortensen, Andy Pollaehne and Curt Collard accompanied the students. The students learned, the students played and all in all had a great day at Lagoon.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Joins in Appeal Condemning Violence in Mideast and Urges World Leaders To Use All Means To End Unrest
Document Actions
Apr 19, 2002
Istanbul, Turkey, April 17 - Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew met with Christian, Islamic and Jewish leaders here last week and joined in signing an appeal to end war and violence and terrorism in the Middle East and in other areas of conflict in the world. In strong language, the appeal stated that encouragement of military operations and terrorism will transform todays world into a hell and sow the seeds of hatred in future generations, endlessly proliferating violence. War leads to violation of human rights and justice and is founded upon blood, tears and misery that does not benefit anyone, said the appeal, which was released today.
His All Holiness has, on his own, directly appealed to world leaders with special attention to the visit to the Middle East of United States Secretary of State Colin Powell, to intervene to exhaust all possible means to bring an immediate end to the unrest and to bring back peace to the region and its peoples, it was revealed today by the Chief Secretariat of the Holy Synod.
In a series of letters, His All Holiness addressed President George W. Bush, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, European Commission President Romano Prodi, as well as the American Secretary of State, expressing his deep concern in a heartfelt appeal to intervene and stop what he termed senseless killing that is occurring among peoples of different faiths who live together in the same region.
Secretary of State Powell ended his visit to the region today without a ceasefire in effect and the continued confrontation of the warring parties in the West Bank. However, he announced an international commitment to negotiations and a comprehensive settlement of the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Ecumenical Patriarch, who has worked actively to convene leaders of the major religious faiths to promote cooperation and specific acts to defuse conflict, characterized each of the leaders as an ardent promoter of interfaith dialogue and mutual understanding among world religions.
In his appeals to President Bush and Secretary of State Powell, His All Holiness, in a reference to September 11, said that the United States,better than any other nation, because of the tragic consequences of the distortion of understanding among differing faiths, would realize the urgency of immediate intervention.
Throughout the letters, the spiritual leader of the worlds 300 million Orthodox Christians, referred to the Holy Land and said he prayed that enlightened leadership would bring an end to the conflict in order to make Gods desire for good will and mutual understanding between individuals, nations and faiths prevail in this land, which is central and holy to millions of God-fearing people throughout the world.
His All Holiness, who has traveled in the recent past to Bahrain and to Iran late last year, has been meeting with Jewish and Moslem leaders, as well as representatives of governments in the Middle East to find ways to defuse the conflict. He is in daily touch with Patriarch Ireneos of Jerusalem, who leads a large community of Orthodox Christians and administers the vast majority of sites holy to all Christians.
In addition, His All Holiness has designated the director of the Orthodox Liaison Office to the European Union, Bishop Emmanuel of Reghion, as his representative for interfaith cooperation and has dispatched him to Jordan, Egypt and Iran, amongst other nations in the Middle East, where the Ecumenical Patriarchate has established good relations.

Cafe to help the hungry scheduled to open soon
'Goal is to give people a hand up, not a handout'
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - A Fall Branch teacher who noticed some of her students having trouble reading quickly learned it was because they were hungry.
Jan Orchard would bring the kids muffins to help them focus.
Since then, Orchard has discovered hunger is a bigger problem than most people realize in our region and she wanted to help make a difference for those in need.
Now her vision of a community café is about to become a reality.
Right now, crews are hard at work at the site of the restaurant on Walnut Street in Johnson City.
Jan Orchard is the founder and executive director of One Acre Café. "It's amazing what God has done here," said Orchard.
Her goal is to make this restaurant a place where people can come to eat -- regardless of their ability to pay -- without feeling like they're asking for a handout. If you don't have cash, you can do some volunteer work. "Maybe bus some tables perhaps, or we've got some gardens outside and we'd love for you to work in the gardens for a little bit. Perhaps there's some work in the kitchen that needs to be done," said One Acre's general manager Bryan Orchard.
One Acre Café may also be a stepping stone for customers just trying get back on their feet. "We'd like to be able to take you and train you in the kitchen. Perhaps you're going to be a prep cook. Perhaps we can train you to be one of the chefs," said Bryan Orchard.
The training could lead to jobs outside the restaurant as well; One Acre plans to network with other area businesses. "[We want to say,] 'We've had this individual at the café for four or five months and we've trained him in this skill. Maybe you can hire this person," Bryan said.
The other thing One Acre brings to the table is a sense of community. "Outside of the building I can see the people eating inside. I can see the talking and the sharing. I can just sense that something very important is going to happen here," said an emotional Jan Orchard.
One Acre Café is scheduled to open in September, with a grand opening to be held in October.
Although many items have already been donated, like countertops, kitchen equipment and an awning, One Acre still needs $50,000 to get things up and running.
If you would like to learn more, you can go to the One Acre Café Facebook page.

Week 2: Sunday, July 17th - Saturday, July 23rd
Week 3 - Sunday, July 24th - Saturday, July 30th
We look forward to seeing you all at Camp St. Sava 2016 in Jackson, California!
Dear Camp St. Sava Families:
Christ is Risen! Hristos Voskrese!
April 26th - I am writing to let everyone know the current numbers for each week of camp. It is exciting to tell you that we received 25 registrations during the last week. WEEK THREE, JULY 26TH TO AUGUST 1, 2015, is now FULL. We will begin to take names on the wait list.
Weeks One and Two are both at 55 campers, so we can still take about 60 more registrations, thirty more in each of those weeks. We currently have 205 campers enrolled over the three weeks.
If you are thinking of sending your children to Camp St. Sava this summer, please enroll them now and send in the registration forms as soon as possible. Remember: to benefit from the early registration pricing, we must receive your full payment and all the forms by May 15, 2015. That date is just three weeks away. Enroll your children now, please.
On another topic, we are asking all families to consider contributing to our fund to pay for the renovation of the roof on the main hall and to replace the four, old HVAC units with new energy efficient ones. We have raised about $30,000 to date. Our goal was to have $37,500 by the end of April, or 50% of the projected total cost.
We are still $7,500 SHORT! Please give what you can. No donation is too small. Those of us who have means, please step up to the plate and give more.
We will send out a final appeal by the end of this week and we have extended our deadline to May 15, 2015. We must raise these funds, another $7,500, before we can begin the project. Watch for our next appeal in your inbox or mailbox.
God bless all our donors and all our camp families, Fr. Steve
Join Us at Camp St. Sava!

Here we are one year removed from the tragedy of the World Trade Center. How have we evolved in that year? I have been hard pressed to think of how it has effected me personally, beyond the initial sadness and disbelief that something of this magnitude could occur at all in our land of the free.
I remember the crying and the horror, numbness and helplessness that I felt. The great sadness that numerous mothers, fathers, grandparents and friends would not return home that day. How life had changed with the blink of an eye. The fact that this world can hold such horrors was not easy to adjust to. I know the world can be cruel and is probably more times than not. But, my world here in rural Utah is rather sheltered, we aren't exposed often to the harsh realities of what some people live with on a day to day basis.
The fact that so many people have died in the service to our country is a cause to be humble. We are so lucky that they were willing to sacrifice their lives so that we could enjoy the freedom that is so evident in our country today. To take these liberties and freedoms for granted is so easy to do. But, by doing so we stand to lose those very freedoms we hold dear.
When my son left for Australia in July of 2000, we watched him get on the plane, we wandered around the airport freely, I videotaped the plane going out to get on the runway and the takeoff. We were free to do this. When we went to pick him up in July of 2002, we had to wait in the lobby by the baggage pickup. We could see him in the terminal coming down the escalator. This was probably the only change that I directly felt by the events of September 11. Increased airport security, we are more and more limited in our freedoms as people cross one line and then another. In order to keep our nation safe, we have been forced to give up some of our liberities. I find these circumstances to be very sad, but I'm not sure what the better way is.
Indirectly or directly we were all effected by these tragic events that took place in our nation.
What have we learned from it? The increase in kindness and patriotism went on for awhile, but do we still feel it today? Have we incorporated it into our lives? Do we feel a lump in our throat and do we get a tear as our flag is raised or as it goes by in a parade.
I have a sister-in-law who was a patriot when being a patriot wasn't cool. One time on a family cruise, three years before the attacks, on international night they brought in flags from various nations and played the anthem from that country. When our flag was brought in carried by our cool waiter from Jamaica, the whole dining room was filled with tears of patriotism. That the flag of our nation can and does evoke such emotion is a powerful tool. If all of us could love and serve in America as this sister-in-law does then America would grow better, bigger and stronger with each passing day.
If we but try an act of kindness each day, if we treat those around us just a little better, if we make our world a brighter place; then the tragedies of September 11 will not have been in vain. We will have learned and we will have walked taller because of them.

The Huntington Glee Club has been performing since 1919. They recently presented their patriotic program as part of the Huntington Heritage Days celebration.
Edward Geary of Huntington recently gave the history of the Glee Club at a Historical Society meeting.
After the Huntington Glee Club sang their first set of songs "Stouthearted Men," and "The Home Town" with Annette Cook as accompanist. Geary then began to narrate the program and relate the history of the Huntington Glee Club.
Geary said "It is my privilege to welcome you this evening to a celebration of the history of the Huntington Glee Club. The distinguished Utah Historian Charles S. Peterson once remarked that Emery County has been unusual among the state's hinterlands in the range and vitality of its community musical and theatrical activities. I discussed the early community dramatics with the Emery County Historical Society, several months ago. The historic musical activities are equally worthy of attention, beginning with the first years of settlement in Castle Valley, when Samuel Jewkes relocated a good portion of his Fountain Green choir to Orangeville, continuing with the Cleveland and Huntington chorus organized by Thomas Hardy that won the Scofield Eistheddfod competition in 1895, and going on to a "Grand Musical Festival" put on by the Emery LDS Stake M.I.A. In 1933, featuring a chorus of 200 voices. Among the more recent fruits of this long musical heritage, we should note that the current musical director and one of the organists of the best-known musical institution in Utah, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, are both Emery County natives.
Our focus this evening is on the oldest continuing musical organization in the County, the Huntington Men's Glee Club. The Glee Club traces its origins to the spring of 1919, when the music teacher at Huntington high school, Evart Johnson organized a male chorus that performed in school, church, and community functions. This original high school ensemble was soon enlarged by the addition of men from the community and took on the name of the Huntington Glee Club.
Please take a look at the photographs that are reproduced in tonight's program. The three photos on the outside cover show the members of the Glee Club at approximately 30-year intervals, in the 1920s, the 1950s, and the 1980s. The inside photo is a scene of Huntington Main Street a short time after the glee club was organized. You will see this street is not paved. Indeed, there were no paved roads anywhere in Emery County at that time. There was not even a coat of gravel, nothing but blue Castle Valley clay that turns into a quagmire when it rains. It looks as though the middle of the street has recently been smoothed by a drag, grader, such as was still in use when I was a boy to put the playing fields on the town square into shape each spring. The single power pole, visible in the photo indicates that the community had been electrified, but only recently. Many outlying homes throughout the county still depended upon kerosene lamps and gaslights for illumination. There is one automobile on the street and two horse-drawn wagons. This probably reflects fairly accurately the transportation modes of the period. If you look closely, you will see there was a hitching rail in front of every store, yet the automotive age has clearly arrived. There are two auto repair businesses in the photo, the Marshall brothers garage at the left margin of the photo, and Shorty Shaw's shop farther up the street.
This, then, is the world in which the Glee Club had its beginning. The songs with which we began the program also reflect this era. "Stouthearted Men," which has probably been sung more often than any other number over the years, came from a 1927 Broadway musical. "The Old Home Town" was composed in the very year, 1919, when the Glee Club was organized.
Our next song, "Those Pals of Ours," is also a nostalgic reflection of the period when the Glee Club began. Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo" captures the syncopated spirit of the Jazz Age and remains fixed in the affections of those who sang in the Glee Club in the 1950s and 60s. The second set of songs sung was "Those Pals of Ours" and "Mood Indigo".
Much of the credit for the Glee Club's survival for more than 90 years must go to a series of highly capable and very dedicated directors. When Evart Johnson moved away from Emery County in 1925, he handed the baton to Perry Wakefield, who had been one of the charter members. A few months later, Perry was called on an LDS mission to Kentucky, and Bert Thomas filled in as director for two years. Upon Perry's return, he resumed his responsibilities and continued for 38 years, which also included the 14 years he served as Bishop of the Huntington Ward.
Following Perry's accidental death in 1965, the leadership of the Glee Club passed to Errol Litster, who had been serving as associate director. Errol invited Bryce Wilson to conduct the ensemble on the occasions when Errol's voice was needed in the first tenor section, and the two men shared directing responsibilities until Errol's death in 1986. Since that time, for almost 25 years now, Bryce has been our director, ably assisted by Kendall Mortensen, who took over the reins during Bryce's mission to Russia.
The Glee Club has had its ups and downs over the decades of its history. Activity reached a low ebb during parts of the 1930s. During the war years of the early 1940s, the membership was depleted by the large portion of the Emery County population who were serving in the armed forces or who left the area to work in defense industries. At times, the Glee Club might have faded away altogether, if it had not been for the funerals. Even when they were not performing regularly, the members would respond when called upon to sing at a funeral. It would be impossible to estimate how many times they sang "Out of the Dusk to You." Even today there are well-worn copies of this song in some members' files.
The Postwar period brought a resurgence of interest. Civilian construction had almost ceased during the war, and the late 40s and early 50s were a period when modern chapels replaced numerous old Latter-Day Saints meeting houses. The "building program" in those days called for the local congregation to come up with half of the cost of a new building. The general Church funds would provide the balance. This meant that there was a flurry of "building fund" activities, including concerts by the Glee Club. The Glee Club performed, probably, in every community in Emery and Carbon counties and traveled as far a-field as Bountiful and West Valley to put on programs there. This very active period also introduced a new generation of Glee Club members as young men were brought into the organization.
Among the perennial old favorites in the Glee Club repertoire were the classic cowboy and western songs, including our next two numbers this evening, the traditional cowboy song " Home on the Range," and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds," written by Bob Nolan, of the sons of the pioneers in 1934.
You have probably guessed by now that we are fond of old songs, old rhythms and harmonies. However, we welcome new members, and are especially pleased when they are younger than the Glee Clubs age of 95. If you enjoy good fellowship and traditional male choral music, and if you have on hour free at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings we invite you to join us. We still sing at funerals. We visit the Emery County Care and Rehabilitation Center, four times a year. We sing in church meetings by invitation. Our two major performances each year are a patriotic concert in July, in conjunction with the Huntington Heritage Days celebration and a Christmas concert where we join with a woman's chorus to present an event that is very enjoyable to prepare and we hope to attend.
We will conclude this evenings historical tour with a set of patriotic songs that the glee club has sung for many years: "Your Land is My Land" from 1927; Irving Berlin's "God Bless America," from 1939; and connecting the two, Bryce Wilson's own arrangement of a "Military Medley." The fourth and final set," said Geary.
Geary made notice of Van Gardner a disabled member of the Glee Club seated in the audience in a wheel chair.
Following the performance, refreshments were served.
Members of the choir are Bryce Wilson, Director, Annette Cook, Accompanist, Dan Cook, Chall Cook, Paul Cowley, John Eden, Lowell Gardner, Lyndon Gardner, Tom Holdaway, Val Jensen, Kendall Mortensen, Boyd Nielson, Clark Powell, Zachary Powell, Evan Stilson, Lond Wakefield and Dean Young. Not all members were in attendance due to other commitments.

Jeffrey Anderson
Principal Tuba, James Irvine Chair
Member since 2002
Hometown: Princeton, IL
On becoming an orchestral musician:
When I started college I was a music education major. Then as a freshman I became more immersed in the orchestral repertory. That's when I got the bug and decided I wanted to play for a living. I spent thirteen years playing in smaller orchestras before winning the job with the SFS. Since there is only one tuba in an orchestra, the positions are scarce and very competitive. It is a thrill for me to have the opportunity to play with this orchestra.
Favorite works:
Mahler and Prokofiev symphonies are some of my favorites to play, especially the Mahler 7 and Prokofiev Fifth, as well as all of Shostakovich's symphonies. The Franck D minor Symphony is one of my all-time favorites. For pure listening pleasure, Puccini.
On being in the Orchestra:
Day in and day out, one of the most fantastic things about my job is playing with the trombone section. John Engelkes, who sits next to me, and Paul Welcomer, have been a huge influence on me since I got here.
In your CD player:
I've always found Glenn Gould fascinating, and I have some of his Bach handy at all times. I love the Chopin Nocturnes with Claudio Arrau. It is beautiful, inspired, and poetic playing. The Red Hot Chili Peppers' Stadium Arcadium is a favorite, and I usually have some U2 or Dave Matthews nearby.

County residents see them riding up and down U.S. 17 every year at this time—leather-clad bikers heading for Myrtle Beach Bike Week.
So does the rally have any other effect on Brunswick County? Absolutely, say local bikers and businesspeople.
Wayne Mooney, president of the Brunswick County Concerned Bikers Association said this week all 120 chapter members make their way to the center of the Bike Week action at some point during the week.
Mooney says the best part of the event is the camaraderie, "riding with other bikers, seeing the other bikes."
In less than four months, Brunswick County will transition from analog to digital broadcast TV service. Residents with ATMC Cable will not be affected by this transition.
Dosher Hospital, in partnership with community physicians, presented the New Hope Clinic and Brunswick Adult Medical Clinic each with checks for $4,605 to assist with patient care for the uninsured. The donated funds were raised by local doctors and matched by Dosher Hospital.
Adams named mortgage broker
Juli Ann Adams has been named mortgage loan officer at BB&T's financial center at 8905 E. Oak Island Drive, according to a news release. The Brunswick County native has more than nine years of experience in mortgage consulting and construction lending.
Coastal Printing celebrates 20 years
Coastal Printing & Graphics of Shallotte, a family-owned and operated commercial printing company, is celebrating its 20th anniversary, according to a news release.
Environmental health specialists with the Brunswick County Health Department inspected and graded local restaurants and other food establishments during the past month.
Grades are based on a perfect score of 100, with points taken away for infractions of state health standards. A score of 90 or better represents an A; 80-89, B; 70-79, C. Establishments with a score below C would not be allowed to operate. Establishments which have two scores during the same inspection period have been regraded at the management's request.
Nominations have been closed for the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce Small Business Person of the Year and Customer Service Awards, according to Karen Sphar of the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce.

Don Beaver, owner, Carol Prater-Webb, vice-president of operations; Vickie Carroll-Beaver, COO; Rep. Dewey Hill, project manager Joe Civitarese and western regional director of operations Alan Beaver broke ground on the new facility.
Other company officials on site were Maria Yane, regional clinical nurse consultant, Terri Gibson, corporate director of marketing, architect David Polston and Becky Gibbons, CFO.
Rep. discusses communication service issues
U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre recently welcomed representatives from Star Telephone and Atlantic Telephone to discuss issues affecting communications service for consumers in Southeastern North Carolina, according to a news release.
McIntyre and the telecommunication representatives explored the challenges small communications providers face in bringing affordable communications technologies to the rural communities in the 7th Congressional district.
Your TV will not become obsolete on Feb. 17, 2009, and you don't have to buy a high-definition TV set to replace it.
But those are some of the misconceptions ATMC staffers have been hearing from their customers since the Federal Communications Commission announced its plans to prohibit TV stations from sending out analog signals in 2009.
On Feb. 17, 2009, all local stations that transmit analog signals will be required to start sending digital signals, according to the FCC regulations.

(45 g) Enjoy our GOLEAN Crunchy! bars, a delightfully light and crunchy snack made with a blend of crispy whole grain cereal and dipped in chocolate. Cinnamon Coffee CakeThis all natural vanilla coffee cake flavored snack bar is infused with the dreamy combination of cinnamon and roasted hazelnut chunks. About KashiSeven whole grains on a mission. It's more than just a tagline — they're the very words Kashi lives by. Read on to find out what exactly makes up a whole grain. And finally, learn what nutrition and health benefits Kashi seven whole grains have to offer. What exactly are whole grains?Simply put, they are small, edible seeds that come from grasses such as wheat and barley. As long as all of the grain components are present, from the outer shell to the "germ" deep inside, whole grains can be ground, cracked, or flaked, and still retain their benefits. Grains are made up of three main components: the bran, the endosperm, and the germ. Bran, or outer shell, protects the seed and provides fiber, B vitamins, and some trace minerals. Endosperm is most of the inner body of the seed . It is rich in protein and carbohydrates—basically a concentrated energy source. Germ makes up the remaining part of the seed; it contains vitamin E (a potent antioxidant) as well as other antioxidants and B vitamins. All of the grain's nutrients, phytochemicals (health-protective components of plant foods), vitamins, and minerals work together to help you stay healthy. Unfortunately, some food makers and restaurants rely mainly on refined grains, in which the seed is stripped of its bran and germ (and the bulk of its nutrients), leaving only the endosperm's carbohydrates and protein. In some instances, food makers will attempt to enrich these refined grains by adding back some of the vitamins and minerals that were lost during processing. When they make foods at Kashi, they always strive to preserve the nutrients that occur naturally in their ingredients. The 7 whole grains in their blend are minimally processed, which means every part of the grain—along with its nutrients—are included, so you get a great nutritional bang in every bite. Kashi's MantraAt Kashi, they dream of a world where everyone embraces natural health. They are passionate and committed to improving the health of people and the planet.Health isn't a destination; it's a journey. Every little step one takes creates a healthier path forward. Kashi believes that when we eat well, we feel well, and do well for ourselves, our families, our coworkers, our communities, and the world. This philosophy builds on Kashi's deep roots in natural foods since 1984 and remains their daily guiding light. Kashi is constantly evaluating and improving the environmental and social aspects of their ingredient sourcing, product production, packaging, and distribution. They strive to not only minimize their impacts across their value chain, but to create positive impacts and positive change with everything they do, creating a legacy of sustainability and health. Simply put, Kashi strives to improve the health of people and planet, every place they do business.

GDB: Two surprises on TSN
October 15 2008 03:30PM
Two things surprised us when we accidentally went to TSN.ca this morning. Well it wasn't really accidental. We couldn't remember if there was a game tonight—and the schedule on the OilersNation is conveniently from 12 seasons ago.
Surprise #1
According to TSN, in the second game of their double header tonight "Brian Burke's Ducks take on Kevin Lowe's Oilers." Someone might want to mention that Steve Tambellini, who swears he's the team's GM.
Surprise #2
The Oilers are ranked 15th in the TSN power poll and the Leafs are a paltry 27th. This ranking system is the brainchild of Scott Cullen—who steadfastly refused to list Ethan Moreau as a key injury to the team last year, despite the fact he was team captain. When we called this to his attention via e-mail, he gracefully told us to pound sand and read a different website. This was part of the reason the OilersNation was born. If you want to know more about this we can explain in greater detail.
The First Annual Wanye Gretz Draft In Support Of Wasting Time At Work™ is in full swing and that fact will provide endless joy to us all throughout the imminent 11 months of winter.
Big ups to Madman37 who has taken the lead. Kris Letang? That kind of picking has gotten you the early lead? WTF? The Randy Gregg Experience is rocking out in second, and has the current advantages of a) a hilarious name, b) second place glory with the ladies, and c) Braydon Coburn. If you're like us and you're saying "Braydon who?" It explains why we're currently sitting in 41st.
But with five players in action tonight, watch for your ol' pal Wanye to lay the hammer down and vault into striking position. We always start slow in these things but we usually end up laying a beating on everyone. Shifty dudes we know in the draft have arrived too by the way. We've been playing drafts with them for years and they must be watched. Philip Ontakos (great name) started the damn thing two days late and is still 22nd. Lenny Bamboo can't be trusted either, nor can "craving a blowie." For you kids reading this—we are assuming his name is referring to some new variety of satellite transponder.
MSG is currently 106 points back of French Pro-League Castoff which entertains us to no end. Why? Because these two are brothers and would generally rather take an air to ground missile to the tender bits than lose to each other at anything. Glorious. It gets us to wondering: do you have anyone you are guaranteeing you will beat in the draft? We'll go out on a limb here and say that of all the teams in the draft, we want to beat "Phil Kessel's nut."
Didn't think we would ever say that in a sentence.
Last game there was a boatload of traffic on the Nation and the 81 comments under the now classic "teacher with viagra pants" photo tells us there are people who like to make comments and chatter online during the game. We will be back online—will you?
—Wanye Gretz—2004 LPGA Comeback Player of the Year
What can I say? I saw Gonchar and Whitney were hurt. The minutes had to go somewhere. Plus, Letang is only 1 million dollars.
You want a third, Headline reads: "Oilers host winless ducks in northwest showdown." http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=252686&lid=sublink02&lpos=topRelated_main
October 15 2008, 11:37AM
I thank the hockey gods that Coburn is still providing me points. I swear, he is gonna be the reason my pool lives or dies this season. That and if Souray can start playing better than he did last game. If only they gave out points for looking so damn good.
"According to TSN, in the second game of their double header tonight "Brian Burke's Ducks take on Kevin Lowe's Oilers." Someone might want to mention that Steve Tambellini, who swears he's the team's GM." Wanye, TSN is trying to bill tonights double header as "Rivalries". You couldn't really call the Ducks and Oilers rivals, but you sure can use that to describe Lowe and Burke!
Interesting to see a little more history on the Nation.
1. Everyone still knows that Lowe's the real GM.
2. How much did you pay Robin for access to his old high school photos?:)
October 15 2008, 12:56PM
Yeah, I'd like to hear more about it. 3 hours left to kill at work, so why not.
October 15 2008, 01:30PM
Wanye Gretz v Scott Cullen
Back before we were Wanye Gretz (the dark days) and the Nation was all of 11 days old, we used to read the powerpoll weekly and live or die with how the teams were ranked.
Somehow or other we felt that if TSN said the Oilers were 11th they would somehow find a way to win more games and if they said the Oilers were 25th strong willed Oilers would give up the fight and resign themselves to an extended losing streak.
So one day we had enough and sent the creator of the powerpoll this email. Note our use of quotation marks – an early sign of our mental disorder that would later be named Wanye.
December 4th 2007.
Hello Scott!
Greetings from the OilersNation. We are big "fans" of the thoroughly-researched and statistically-relevant TSN "powerpoll" and thought we would take the "time" to "write" you on behalf of Oilers fans from coast to coast and give you our two "cents." A few things you may want to note for next weeks calculations:
It's awesome that the Oilers are trailing Phoenix and LA in the powerpoll ranking, despite the fact that the Oil lead them all in wins, points and have a better record in the past ten games and despite the fact that Craig MacTavish can bite through a one-inch-thick steel cable… WITH HIS MIND. That's got to count for at least one bump up the rankings.
It's also inspiring that you note that the Oilers are suffering from player injuries. Or merely one injury, as the poll suggests. It would be nice if you included the fact that the team captain has missed the ENTIRE season with an injury, and include him in your "key injuries" section. Nevermind including the also-injured Matt Greene, who is a top four Oilers defenceman.
I guess you're too busy covering the upstart Maple Leafs and posting gems like this to do any research into the other Canadian teams:
"As some of you know, I'm participating in a head-to-head fantasy hoops league with a number of journalists, among others, from the Toronto area. This week was the time to lock horns with TSN's own Tim Chisholm."
Anyhoo, just wanted to congratulate TSN on their continued insightful Oilers coverage.
Love, The OilersNation
And did he ever have a good response..... (now we are looking for the response he sent)
October 15 2008, 01:37PM
Note our use of quotation marks – an early sign of our mental disorder that would later be named Wanye.
More importantly, note how he used "Matt Greene" and "top four Oilers defenceman" in the same sentence. It was that bad. And it wasn't that long ago.
Scott Cullen is so brutal at powerpolls that he got pulled off the CFL one and was replaced by their on air analysts. I can only imagine that he will eventually have the same fate when it comes to the NHL powerpoll. You can only fake competency for so long. Obviously his boss isn't reviewing his content for reasonableness. :/
October 15 2008, 02:20PM
Scott Cullen is a boob.
October 15 2008, 03:41PM
Ah finally.
Here is his reply. This is why we hate TSN:
Oilers Nation - I didn't realize that the last ten games were more meaningful than the games that preceded them. I could have sworn the season started at the beginning of October. The Oilers captain is a checking winger and not a top six forward. As you might note, I have NEVER put a checking forward down as a key injury, nor have I put down a depth defenceman like Matt Greene. How Greene qualifies as top four in Edmonton is puzzling since he ranks seventh among their defencemen in ice time per game. The Maple Leafs dig was a good one though, very original and well thought out since I spend such an inordinate amount of time writing Leafs-related articles. You must have intended that for someone else. If you don't think you're getting appropriate coverage in my rankings, however, you are welcome to choose any number of other rankings online for your information. No one's forcing you to read any of my gems. Regards, Scott Cullen | On-line Producer, TSN.ca | email@example.com
What a douche bag. And Scott Cullen is an idiot. ;)
October 15 2008, 03:48PM
To be fair, Wanye, you and I talked A LOT about hating TSN well before the infamous Cullen incident.
Hey guys, I emailed scott on April 1st (ironic I know) wondering why Horcoff, Souray, and Moreau were all not included on the injured list, and why the Oilers were ranked 22nd after they had won 15 of their last 20 games....here is his reply.
"Any players who have been deemed to be done for the season eventually fade off the "key injuries" list because they aren't going to have any further impact on the rankings. Souray, Horcoff and Moreau were all listed for several weeks before they dropped off. Same as it was for Simon Gagne, Martin Havlat, Rod Brind'Amour etc.
The last 20 games are no more important to me than the preceding 60.
Regards, Scott Cullen | On-line Producer, TSN.ca | firstname.lastname@example.com
Looks like he has an answer for everything...or no answer for anything.
"The last 20 games are no more important to me than the preceding 60" I wonder if Cullen used the same theory for the Sens BRUTAL finish to their 07/08 season? The guy has no sports sense what so ever. How he continues to stay employed is beyond my comprehension.
October 15 2008, 04:35PM
Nobody is forcing us to read "his gems?" Last time I checked, NHL on TSN is now centered around Bob MacKenzie.
October 15 2008, 05:03PM
Well "Wanye" your draft threats to me have taken great offence to me. And since you are willing to threathen me in front of the entire OilersNation, I fell as though I must call you out.
I put the OilersNinja Personal Guarantee that I beat you in this draft. I feel as though both my GM skills and Metachlorian count(nerds you will get that) are better and much higher then yours. All that plus a wager of a crisp $20 bill or as a previous citzen of the nation posted "some of that Wanye money"
Its on
In other news GO OILERS and Scott Cullen Sucks
October 15 2008, 05:56PM
First I love the Scott Cullen bashing. I couldn't believe what a douche he was at the time, but not having much of a soap box to yell from I realized there was little I could do to defend the Mighty Oil and its fans.
I guess you could now ask
I am guessing you will soon if you can't already.
Oh and Ninja, I will take your $20 bet. Book it.
I was wondering if anyone was going to start :)

I hope he doesn't give someone a MacBeatdown.
Anyone? Anyone?
Gotta let that go Wanye

Polar bears are the largest land carnivore in North America. An adult male typically weighs 300-450 kg, stretching 3 metres from nose to tail. They are strong, fast, agile, on land or ice, and are expert swimmers and divers. Their sense of smell is exceptional, their eyesight comparable to a human's. Polar bears are naturally curious, not fearless as they have been labelled. They are shy and prefer to avoid confrontations with humans and other polar bears. Their primary prey is the ringed seal but they will also prey on birds, eggs, small mammals, and even humans. They also scavenge anything from beached whales to human garbage. In the heat of summer, polar bears may appear slow and docile, but they are capable of moving swiftly and with purpose.

American Pastured Poultry Producers Association: Member
"My Farm"
My farm to me is not just land,
where bare unpainted buildings stand.
To me my farm is nothing less
than all created loveliness.
My farm is not where I must soil
my hands in endless, weary toil.
But where through seed and swelling pod,
I've learned to walk and talk with God.
My farm to me is not a place
outmoded by a modern race.
I like to think I just see less
of evil, greed and selfishness.
My farm's not lonely, for all day
I hear my children laugh and play.
And here, when age comes, free from fears,
I'll live again long, joyous years.
My farm's a haven - here dwells rest,
security and happiness.
Whatever befalls the world outside,
here faith and hope and love abide.
And so my farm is not just land
where bare, unpainted buildings stand.
To me my farm is nothing less
than God's enduring loveliness.

Skip to comments.O'Reilly Factor Provides Free Republic Offending Comments Links
Posted on 08/01/2007 4:09:49 PM PDT by kristinnEdited on 08/01/2007 4:30:51 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
I received an e-mail today from the Fox News producer who booked me for the O'Reilly Factor last night. The links have been forwarded to Jim Robinson for review.
Jim asked me to start a thread with the links so that Freepers, and everyone else, could see for themselves what the fuss is about.
The Hillary Clinton stray bullet assassination comment was a very bad joke comment that someone posted two days ago. It was flagged last night after the O'Reilly Factor broadcast and was removed by a moderator. It is available for the time being in Google cache:
To: Virginia Ridgerunner I like my scenario better:
After eight years of the economy faltering, interest rates are 19%, 900,000 people are dead in Iraq since we left, taxes have gone up by 60% and Chile, Bolivia and Columbia are now Communist regimes, a stray bullet at a NARAL rally catches President Clinton and kills her.
As they take away Cindy Sheehan she screams why did she have to remove the troops? We were winning.
The next day the dow goes up 2000 points and closes at 2150.
4 posted on 07/30/2007 11:00:43 AM PDT by EQAndyBuzz (The Democrat Party: "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal then others.")
[ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 2 | View Replies ]
Don't even bother trying to defend that one. Assassination jokes have no place on Free Republic. Yes, Cindy Sheehan has written of her fantasizies about killing President Bush--and she's not joking, but that's her problem. We're better than that.
The "homosexuals are dogs" comment is taken out of context. The actual quote is "Homosexuals are the modern day dogs in the manger." That was in reference to an article about proprieters in the U.K. not being allowed to deny hotel accomodations to homosexual couples on account of religious belief.
The American Heritage online dictionary gives this description for the phrase: dog in the manger, NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. dogs in the manger. One who prevents others from enjoying what one has no use for oneself. ETYMOLOGY: From a fable in which a dog prevented an ox from eating hay he did not want himself.
That comment was posted two days ago and has also been removed by the moderators. It is available for now in Google cache.
The "I hate blacks" comment was nowhere to be found in the other threads referenced.
The threads are about crime in the black community, gangsta culture and Jesse Jackson. Two of the threads are in the Smoky Backroom.
Time for the Truth About Black Crime Rates
Jesse Jackson interview about Imus
Sagging Pants May Have Contributed To Fatal Shooting
The moderators do a great job of holding up the standards that Jim has set for Free Republic. However, they need all of our help--in exercising our good judgment when posting and in hitting the abuse button when out of line comments are made.
We are not a politically correct site, however the posting guidelines need to be adhered to. The comments cited by O'Reilly are literally drops in the bucket of the millions of comments posted on FR and do not represent what FR is about. However, the better we take care of FR, the less chances we'll give people to pull stunts like O'Reilly did last night.
I want to thank everyone for the kind and supportive comments last night. It was not a 'fun' interview, but hopefully some good will come out of it.
Most extreme posts are probably trolls anyway.
...go for it. short/concise.
That's it?
Can we still use the term "islamic terrorism"?
The "homosexuals are dogs" comment is taken out of context. ....
That comment was posted two days ago and has also been removed by the moderators.
***Why remove it? If it's taken out of context, that says it all about Bill O'Reilly's standards.
If there is no link that is One Big apology he owes us.
I didn't catch this. Hopefully Bill did an equal segment on the kind of comments that show up at DU an KOS. Right?
Thank you for your service to our country.
This is a losing game. I'm been offended by many of the things I've read on here and I've probably offended many people on here.
I don't think O'Reilly understands the CONCEPT of trolling... I think he has no idea what it is.
For example, some of the phone calls he gets on the radio are clearly "radio trolls" — people just calling to get him angry, who don't believe any of what they say.
Nothing personal, but I would ban the "stray bullet" poster.
And people who are withfred...
Exactly. "Dogs in the Manger" is a metaphor, from a fable. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it thus: "One who prevents others from enjoying what one has no use for oneself." This is NOT the same as calling homosexuals dogs.
Is it necessary to be a smart ass on a serious topic FR is trying to address?
Oh ...and thanks!
Oh please. Stray bullets are pretty rare, especially around a president.
I'm not sure I would go that far, but it was definitely in very poor taste. It definitely crossed the line.
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
Hey bill,trolls,learn it,live it,love it!
For BOR's minions to scour the millions of FR posts to come up with those examples and him to portray them as typical of FR says much more about who BOR is and what he's about than it does about FR.
***Worth repeating.
THANK YOU, Kristinn. Your service to FR and our country and to us posters is priceless.
By the way, I saw the original dog in the manger comment and saw absolutely nothing wrong with it. O'Reilly is grasping at straws. Ooops! He'll probably now say that I accused him of stealing from McDonalds.
Given the volume of traffic here, is that all he could pull out? Lame doesn't even begin to describe it.
I think BOR is upset over being called out on FR for his 'lesbian-gangs-raping-young-girls' story that was proven false.
I guess the joke about a bus load of lawyers going over the cliff is now off limits.
And that is not one of those 'my best friends are black' statements.
And for the record, BOR is a big egotistical gasbag on many things. His only advantage is that he is better than the alternative. Glenn Beck comes on an hour later, and is FAR better than BORF.
I've seldom been on a thread where anyone who gets bashed but I have run across various anti gay comment in the past. Never saw one bashing blacks.
The trolls at Kos whined we are a hate site and I believe provided these links to Fox, you got ambushed.
I can tell you one thing, I can read posts for hours (I think I'm addicted) here on FR, but I can't listen to O'Reilly for a complete show without him saying something I think is crass, and I turn him off.
Ban EQAB? Heck, no. Go run thru his postings. He's one of us.
Did Bore O'Reilly comment about all the times when our political opponents suffer personal tragedy we offer prayers and hopes to those families despite our differences.
Unlike the lefties who offer heaping vulgarity when a Conservative suffers personal tragedy.
I agree. I don't know if you can un-remove a post, but just on principle a comment taken out of context like that shoudn't be removed.
As you say, we are not a politically correct forum. OTOH, 99.99% of all posts on FR do not contain the graphic rhetoric O'Reilly spoke of last night.
"I didnt catch this. Hopefully Bill did an equal segment on the kind of comments that show up at DU an KOS. Right?"
I watched....Kos was mentioned. Not one comment was made regarding DU. A rep from Kos was there, and Kristinn did a great job for Free Republic....when BOR let him talk.
Where is the "I hate blacks" post????
The meaning of the "homosexuals are dogs" was twisted out of context.
O'Reilly blew it bigtime, and has enraged a heckuva lot of former viewers of his show. Big mistake.
I'd say that's a smoking gun against "The Factor", because the "I H@te B1@ck$"(/grin)accusation was probably the most inflammatory. You deserve a follow up interview to approach him with your findings, but I doubt it will ever happen. From now on we'll have to refer to "The O'rielly Factor" as a "hate show" the next time he has a guest who has ever had a remotely racist or controversial thing to say.
Wishing someone dead is tasteless.
No link for the "I hate Blacks" comment.
Gee, The Factor got only one of three and that's all it takes to make a "hate site"? I've heard worse on The Factor. I guess The Factor is a hate program.
I like both Free Republic and O'Reilly, I guess I'm just an across the board hater. ;^)
This is really pathetic of O'Reilly. I think he felt he had to do it, but the level of research for this assault is ridiculous.
The Warren Reports suggests magic bullets are much more likely.
You did greatr Kristinn..
I was shocked that O'Reilly might find posts like he named..
But O'Reilly knows better than to just throw out an accusation and not have proof...where were the posts..he had no trouble showing a video of part of FR ...
why didnt he had the offending words on video or a printout?
I was waiting to see them..crickets...
Harold Ford looked like Obama as usual...he's still running for re-election for his senate seat, 2006
Kristinn should tell BOR that FR has done better work on rooting out false journos than he has. Let us not forget Rather-Gate. And there are other examples, my feeble mind is just too old to remember them.
You did marvelously.
I would have exploded and done no service to my fellow FReepers. I would still be cursing today. ;-)
The question is, are we going to get a retraction on the comments that were not here or misquoted?
I'm glad I stopped watching that gasbag awhile ago. If there is ONE site that keeps it "clean" it's this one. For the Bloviator to call this a hate site strains the bounds of accuracy.
I posted on an earlier post from an article stajackson wrote to BOR. I felt from the beginning he had his nitwit producers come on FR and engage and bait freepers. Some of those producers could have written on FR what Bill spoke about. He is a worthless entertainer and the more freepers tune him out, the more his numbers will drop.
OReily became national on Current Affair. Out of conext was tabloid television's bread and butter.
We should not be surprised he takes things out of context for sensationalism now.
Yep, and repeated numerous times.

The new movie's cast, including Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Quinton Jackson, Sharlto Copley and Liam Neeson celebrated on stage and off, and posed for pictures with a slew of random celebrities, from Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron to Leonardo DiCaprio, Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Adrien Brody and Sylvester Stallone. Oh, and Sandra Bullock made her first public appearance since her very public breakup with Jesse James — no biggie!

Corrupt Ex-Mayor Shat Upon By Bird Of Justice
Sharpe James is the old-school corrupt machine politician who ran Newark as his own personal fiefdom as mayor for 20 years before being unseated by Cory Booker in 2006. James' overall distasteful nature was aptly chronicled in the documentary Street Fight. So anyways, there Sharpe was last Friday, standing on the curb after his daily corruption trial, waiting for the bus, and—bam!—a bird crapped on his head. And it's all caught on tape. Was that bird god? That's for god to know, and for us to speculate upon. The instantly classic video is after the jump—the big moment comes about 55 seconds in.

bge support for BCM5755M ethernet adapter
By gcarrillo on Sep 17, 2007
CR 6589496 was filed to add support for the BCM5755M ethernet adapter to the Solaris bge driver but since there's no suggested fix yet, I thought I'd experiment with the source to see if I could hack the driver myself so that it'd drive the chip. Somewhat surprisingly (since I don't have specs for this device), my modified bge works well. I had to configure networking on the system before it began resolving domain names, but in the end, it's up and I even downloaded the latest Nevada dvd image using this interface.
If you're interested in the changes I made, here's the patch. To use with your system, do the following:
- Patch the bge source and rebuild. See the OpenSolaris Developer's Reference Guide if you need details.
- In a shell, type "mv /kernel/drv/bge /kernel/drv/bge.orig" (or "mv /kernel/drv/amd64/bge /kernel/drv/amd64/bge.orig" if you have a x64 system) to back up the original and move the binary you built to where the original was. I replaced both on my system just to be safe.
- Enter the line "bge "pci14e4,1673"" into the /etc/driver_aliases file. This allows the system to recognize the PCI ID of the network adapter and associate the driver module with it.
- In a shell, type "touch /reconfigure". This will cause the system to rescan its hardware.
- Reboot.
- You can verify that your version of bge is running by entering "modinfo | grep bge" in a shell and checking that the version number has been bumped.

Skip to comments.MIT: Shooter On Loose; Officer Down
Posted on 04/18/2013 8:22:45 PM PDT by NautiNurse
MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday night reporting shots fired on the university campus. The school newspaper reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." That report is backed up by CBS News's Bonney Kapp who reports hearing "officer down" on the police scanner just before the MIT alert went out. For now, details are scarce, but the suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.
(Excerpt) Read more at theatlanticwire.com ...
Stay inside?
So the shooter can find you?
This is the point where the range master says, "Prepare to defend your position"!
Listening to scanner now. Wonder if they might have their bomber?
Suspect number 2 was seen turning onto Fairfield St and heading toward the Charles and MIT. Could perps be MIT students?
What the heck is going on this week?!
fight them off with office furniture.
Please keep us informed. TIA.
That's as good a supposition as anything right now.
Good observation..
Grab your shotgun and walk outside and fire off a few rounds in the air...then go back in and return to your DVR and X-BOX 360...ALL IS FINE.
Neither did 38 of the 40 pop up targets that looked like Soviet soldiers.
Unless the bombing was some weird physics experiment gone horribly awry, I would doubt it....
Or you could reach for the M&P 45 ACP ... and call 911 and request an ambulance.
Your choice ...
Or if you have put in enough range time, just call 911 and ask for the coroner....
Fire a couple rounds of buckshot through your door. You'll be fine. Joe Biden cant' be wrong about everything....
A better shot would request a hearse.
Sounds like a robbery but perp is dark skinned white male 6 11. 250 lbs. I am gonna stick with it awhile.
Fox News is reporting this is probably unrelated to the bombing..that this was some sort of robbery
Fox News update on Greta's show that it's a suspect fleeing from a robbery
FNC reporting LEO was disarmed by perp and shot with his own weapon.
"Could perps be MIT students?"
Plenty of Hotels on the Cambridge side of the River, stayed there a couple years back.
My hunch and hope are the bomb suspects are not Americans...I just don't see Americans setting bombs off at sporting events...This is generally the realm of those from the Mideastern world.
Why doubt it? Terrorists can be from anywhere and have any background...look at Ayers.
The political class in the beltway and their propagandists in the media are in full "nothing to see here" mode.
Eric Rudolph
More likely the MIT students drug dealers.
Sure, terrorists can be from anywhere, but they're not as likely to be from some places as opposed to others. If we were talking Berkeley, I'd be less doubtful. Much less doubtful.
My hunch and hope are the bomb suspects are not Americans...I just don't see Americans setting bombs off at sporting events...This is generally the realm of those from the Mideastern world.
There is always the exception, but I'm sticking with my hunch.
Sounds like a robbery..but you never know. I am obsessed now with checking news and scanners in Boston until they catch these terrorists.
I would have said the same before the Occupy stuff and Boston this week.
My prayers are for the officer.
Detective Pen on the case!
CNN saying FBI releasing that pic now so is real.
No obsessive compulsive pen is clueless but interested...lol.
I think Ayers reflected the time, the virulent anti-war movement, SDS/Weatherme, etc, and the cultural upheaval that was going on during the late 60s/early 70s. The closest today' students come/came to that was the fairly pathetic "OWS" movement. US students haven't been 'into' bombing for a full generation now.
You listening here??
I know a wonderful young lady that attends MIT. News from her mother is that she was not affected by this event.
Still . . . scary stuff for a parent in Texas.
Careful, Obama may take yer gun away for OCD /s
Prayers for the officer, and I hope they catch the shooter.
When they were showing a picture of one of the bomb suspects on CNN a few minutes ago, I noticed a guy a few feet away from him, and the guy had an MIT sweatshirt on. I know that's probably just random given the proximity to MIT, but I found it coincidental as they had just reported on the shooting a couple minutes prior.
Isnt that what the South African runner did and killed his model girlfriend?
Also not sleeping well since those 3-4 Mexicans tried to break in my neighbors house and shot at her. Talked to the cops finally about it because the crime report did not mention a gun. His excuse was that they found the casing but not the bullet! Unfreakinbelievable. Some other neighbors heard the gun go off too. Woman says they shot at her. Cop says he thinks the gun discharged as they were running away. Can you believe that??
The point is, he lived to tell about it, by following Joe's advice.
