CTSU Increases Patient and Physician Access to Clinical Trials
Physicians seeking to enroll patients in NCI-sponsored Cooperative Group phase III adult treatment trials have improved access to these studies through the assistance of the Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU).
CTSU is an NCI program launched in October 1999 to provide clinicians across the United States and Canada with improved access to cancer treatment trials. The program was initiated following a systematic review of the clinical trials program at the time and led to the Board of Scientific Advisors approving the CTSU as a pilot project. Over the ensuing years, CTSU has become an integral part of the Cooperative Group system that is responsible for conducting most of NCI's phase III treatment trials.
CTSU recently underwent a competitive renewal. The original contractor, Westat, Inc., along with its subcontractor, the Coalition of National Cancer Cooperative Groups, was again selected to manage CTSU. In this second iteration, CTSU will continue to focus on making Cooperative Group phase III treatment trials available to all Cooperative Group members and to selected sites that directly enroll via CTSU.
"Broad participation and rapid accrual have led to several important studies achieving results much faster than was possible before the advent of CTSU," said Dr. Jeff Abrams, chief of NCI's Clinical Investigations Branch in the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) and CTSU co-project officer.
CTSU's programs and services include regulatory support, patient registration, clinical data management, help desk support, promotion, education and training, site performance evaluation, and site financial management.
"CTSU has expanded access to NCI-funded phase III trials that previously may not have been available at a given location, thus providing patients with additional treatment options," noted Dr. Meg Mooney, head of Gastrointestinal Cancer Therapeutics for DCTD's Clinical Investigations Branch and CTSU co-project officer.
Before CTSU, investigators were limited to trials conducted by their own Cooperative Group or to specific intergroup trials. Investigators sent all regulatory materials to the Lead Cooperative Group and enrolled all patients through that Group's system. CTSU has increased physician and patient access by allowing Cooperative Group members to participate in trials coordinated by Groups to which they do not belong. CTSU has made it easy for investigators to participate in trials led by other Groups by creating a centralized location for investigators to submit regulatory documents, enroll patients, and access study documents.
Two trials that have enrolled patients more quickly than anticipated because of improved access via the CTSU are the ACOSOG Z9001 trial, a study looking at the use of imatinib (Gleevec) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and CALGB 90206, a study comparing the use of bevacizumab (Avastin) with interferon alfa-2B in advanced renal cell cancer - both of which have seen half or more of their enrollments enter via CTSU.
New challenges for this second edition of CTSU include creation of a centralized randomization hub for all its trials and the inclusion of trials from other NCI-sponsored trial networks, including phase II treatment studies, prevention and cancer control studies, and SPORE studies. More information about CTSU can be found at www.ctsu.org.

Alicia Keys performed "Empire State of Mind, Pt. II (Broken Down)" on The Colbert Report last night to promote just-released album The Element of Freedom. And Alicia had a very special guest rapper accompany her on the song—no, not Jay-Z. Someone even better.
Stephen Colbert threw on a hoodie and performed an original rap interlude about living next to the Guggenheim Museum before moving to Connecticut and having a 60-inch plasma TV. Hilarious clip (made even funnier by a super-professional Alicia somehow managing to not crack up) after the jump:
Being featured as a rapper on a famous musician's beloved song is just another example of Colbert's streak of doing things most other late night talk show hosts would never even dream of; he also landed the cover of Sports Illustrated, became an ice cream flavor and even a got animated beside Spidey. Way to make the rest of us feel inferior to your constant success, Colbert!

"I rapped about random stuff…how hot I was, how many girls I could pull," Trip says. But upon giving his life to Christ, at age 14, his focus changed from fortune, fame, and women to serving and ministering the Gospel.
As kids, most people aspire to be famous, but few actually achieve fame. Some come close, but most begrudgingly let go of their childhood fantasy once reality arrives. Trip Lee was just like most kids, until the reality of eternity compelled him to gracefully loosen his grip on worldly fame.
William Lee Barefield III, better known as Trip Lee, was born and raised in Dallas, TX. As a child, Trip had dreams of being a professional athlete or famous rapper, so he began to hone his lyrical skills at the age of 12. "I rapped about random stuff—how hot I was or how many girls I could pull," Trip says. But upon giving his life to Christ, at age 14, his focus changed from fortune, fame and women to serving and ministering the Gospel.
Trip slowly recognized that all of his life should be centered on Christ. "One day, I just decided I'm only doing music that honors God. Rappers like Ambassador and Da Truth helped provide a model for how I would begin to do that," he says. He also had an immense desire to learn and teach the scripture, so he became a leader in his youth group and preached his first sermon at age 17.
In 2004, Trip met Lecrae at a concert; months later, after talking and building with each other, Lecrae began to disciple him. While still in high school, Trip was given the opportunity to pen a few devotionals for the Reach Records website that dealt with theological matters. Trip would then sign with Reach Records, and his debut album, If They Only Knew, hit stores nationwide a few days after his high school graduation. His first full-length album introduced hip-hop fans to his distinct southern sound, unique delivery and gospel-saturated lyrics. That same year, Trip was also featured on the Dove Award-nominated, timeless classic "Jesus Muzik" with label mate Lecrae.
His sophomore album, 20/20, was released in 2008 and garnered much success: breaking into the Billboard Top 200, reaching #11 on the Billboard Christian albums chart and landing at #4 on the Gospel chart. With his third studio album, Between Two Worlds, Trip offers a collection of reflections on life in a fallen world. Those reflections resonated with listeners as B2W debuted at #1 on the Christian and Gospel Billboard charts, #5 on the Hip Hop/Rap iTunes chart and #9 on the Top Albums iTunes chart. The album also received two Dove nominations and a Stellar Award for Best Gospel Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year.
Since his first album release, Trip has traveled the world performing for thousands of listeners. The Christ-centered hip-hop message he brings has also built a platform for him among churches and other Christian organizations, which has led to numerous opportunities to preach and teach at conferences and other events.
Trip now resides in Washington, DC with his wife and is finishing his Biblical and Theological Studies degree by distance with Boyce College. He is currently touring, working on his fourth album, blogging (bragonmylord.com) and aiming to author a few New York Times bestsellers. Trip's unending desire is to proclaim the grace and beauty of Jesus Christ to anyone that will listen. Ultimately, he hopes this journey will someday lead to pastoring a church.

CONYERS — As a reward for their service, Rockdale County youth who lend a hand in the community have a chance at extra money to fund their college education.The Rockdale Coalition of Children and Families recently introduced its first John K. Morgan Scholarship Fund. The nonprofit organization aims to promote the well-being of Rockdale children and families. Since the award is in its inaugural year, Coalition organizers have not yet narrowed down a scholarship amount. "With our capital that we have and with the economy, it's kind of rocky," Executive Director Michael Hutcheson said. "We haven't really attached a dollar amount to it yet." Hutcheson estimated the scholarship may be around $1,000, but he could not say for certain. The scholarship fund is being financed by a December 2009 donation made by the scholarship's namesake, John P. Morgan. Morgan was the Coalition's first board president in 1997 and CEO of Acuity Brands, Hutcheson said. Morgan made the undisclosed donation in honor of the retirement of Bill Hughey, who served as executive director from 1999 to 2009. "The coalition is charged to really encourage community service," Hutcheson said. "In order to promote that message of community service in our community, we wanted to create this scholarship to perhaps be an inspiration to young students who are continuing their education to give back to the community." From Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts to cleaning a park, Hutcheson said youth who apply can highlight "any kind of service done in the community to make a better place and help other people." "We didn't put any kind of strings attached, as far as grades. The only criteria, basically, is someone who has been involved in community service," Hutcheson said. Hutcheson expects the scholarship will especially become a big help to children from lower income families. "We're really excited about the scholarship and the opportunities it will present for individuals in our community that are actively involved," Hutcheson said. "We wanted to recognize their involvement in the community, and we wanted to support them in their education achievements." Rockdale County has "a great number" of residents who are involved in their community, Hutcheson said. Applications will be accepted now through Jan. 21, and scholarship recipients will be announced Feb. 26 at the coalition's annual banquet. For an application or more information, call 770-761-9244 or visit www.rockdalecoalition.org.

I just saw the question you added to your previous post.
The reference to fence-sitting in my profile refers to during the A when I was thinking of leaving my M for AP.
Married 2.5 years
D-day 3/6/10
Divorced 5/14/10
Remarried. Reconciliation is a process and I still struggle.
I believe that my WH A is either a MLC or exit A. I say MLC because he got a Harley last July (he is 43) & the weird behaviour started at the same time. Over inflated ego & hostility being the most obvious. I say exit A because how could anyone who loved their S treat them in such a bad way. Plus the fact that he picked from the bottom of the barrel indicates to me how unhappy he was with me....
It sounds obvious but its important to note that these motives do not derive from the marriage or BS but rather, the roots arise from the personal coping patterns of the WS. As well, these motives, patterns and characteristics more often than not were well set before the marital couple met. The WS, at some level, needed to "play out" these patterns. The sad reality is for some of us, most, if not all of this acting out, or the motives for acting out, was well beyond our conscious awareness and more a subconscious behavior.
I find the above interesting & wonder if it applies to all WS? Reason I ask is that my WH lays all blame on me. He's been unhappy for years & couldn't see himself growing old with me etc etc. I'm even responsible for the speed in which their A has progressed! The painful thing for me to deal with is that I don't think my WH will ever show any remorse as he denies he has done anything wrong as "nothing happened until he moved out & they were just friends who discovered they had feelings for each other" Mind you he practically moved in with her the minute he moved out of our home. Plus I know he stayed at her place 2 nights before he actually moved out! But like he says he did not cheat because in his mind our M was unsalvageable, he just forget to tell me that but I'm sure the she bloke OW knew it! Clearly, they are soul mates as they share so many common interests (cars, bikes etc) & work together so being together 24/7 seems to suit them just fine.
Is it possible that in time he will admit he has done wrong or is he justified in his belief that he did nothing wrong? It has been 4 months now, so I'm thinking the longer time goes on the less likely it is that he will acknowledge what he has done is wrong & therefore never feel any remorse. Part of this denial could be because he does not want to admit that he turned out like his cheating dad who he despises. Plus his ex cheated on him....
For those WS who left the BS for the AP, do you have any regrets for doing so? And if so how long did it take for you to realise this?
Do any WS believe that they partnered down when choosing the AP over the BS? My WH left me for hideous looking masculine type who is twice my size literally & I'm 12 years older than her!
I am moving on with my life. I accept that he is with the other woman and I am very grateful that he is out of my life. He is not a man that I trust or respect.
I don't think I will ever understand why he chose to have the affair but it is a pattern with him, so I no longer blame myself.
For WS who return to spouse and family, what was your motivation knowing you could also live happily with AP? Just wondering what motivates some WS and not others, especially long term happy M.
I think this depends on how quickly the WS comes out of the fog.
Me? I never wanted to 'live happily' with the OM. Essentially, I used him. I just wanted the attention. He wasn't special, he could have been any other man. I traded the sweet nothings and sex for the attention that I thought I needed.
I came out the fog after a fortnight. I didn't have the courage to go NC (OM kept threatening to expose the A) so the EA carried on for another few months but my heart was never with the OM.
My Ddays - 01/10 & 12/04/14
His Dday - 23/12/13
Chin up. Unwavering. Fight. I can do this.
He does Not understand what mean by work. I made sure to say the work he is doing is great although I feel like it is the bare minimum and he states that "is he suppose to keep a least or tell u! Defending himself. Friday he did no work until I mentioned something at 10pm so he read. Then said well why would you wait till the end of the day to mention it! Why should I have to ask? Why aren't I as important then all the sports stuff and app games? I also remember he spent at least 15 hours Monday -Friday speaking with her for over a year! "Now that takes a lot of effort" and That does not include weekends or week nights that she would come over! He told me I get at least an hour of work three days a week. That is coming here his guy and the liars meeting. Maybe reading the book here and there, possible liars board, speaking to me more on the phone then he has in the past and his thoughts! What about seeking out stuff? He does not go to the infidelity board anymore daily like he said he would. This is a pattern that I see always. Where is the extra mile the extra effort like you put into her? Where is that for me? Why should I have to put up with half ass effort. You did not give her a half ass effort! What you showed me this week was that I am not worth the effort! And she was! When r you going to get it and jump FULLY IN AND STAY IN! You keep pushing yourself out the door of this marriage and family by behaving like this! You dive in for a week then you slowly start to come out and do less and less! You did not do that with her! I can see it by the phone records! It is in black in white print from the phone company. You can not dispute that! So where is the real and permanent genuine effort towards me???
Back story is that he supposedly has now told me the entire truth of our marriage and fessed up to the past lies and current ones. As of three weeks ago. He is a compulsive liar. He goes to a meeting for that every week. Reading the book road less traveled and how to heal your spouse from an affair(this is completed). Shouldn't there be more? Or am I over reacting?
Thank you for your responses!
ncharge - My WH looks at "art nudes" on the computer every morning. I hate this and I will ask him to stop. But, is this considered a porn habit if it is not sexual acts? I think it is, because you know he is getting sexual kicks out of them. He has to be. But I am told that guys look and this is a mild thing that is OK. It isn't what is considered porn. What do you think?
Ah, the old "how do you define erotic photography as compared to just porn" question.
WIKI states that erotica has high-art aspirations, thereby differentiating it from commercial pornography but that definition is pretty loosey goosey. According to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart, in the defining court case that ruled on this matter, he felt that he could not "attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."
In other words, defining it became a matter of community standards and that means, one man's art can be another man's porn.
Whether its defined as artistic nudes as compared to porn, it is a huge industry. Estimates say that its upwards of a 100 Billion dollars world wide industry and this includes public/private movies, chat rooms, fashion photography and about everything that can be done with one or more partners with or without toys! A search for the word sex on Google shows about 846,000,000 results while the word church only gets 250,000,000 results which sorta indicates the popularity of the word in the online world.
Anyhow, given that erotic material has existed from the neolithic era and given its prevalence in today's culture, its not surprising that your H looks. It is at a certain level, normal and natural but obviously, like all things, best done in moderation and with respect to everyone else.
Erotica and even porn can be part of a healthy and well-balanced sex life for a lot of individuals and even couples. Where and how it moves from being a positive to a negative in a relationship is highly subjective and is best left to the people involved to work out.
If you are uncomfortable with his habit, you do have the right to ask him to stop. Mind you, you have to understand that depending on the real reason behind his viewing habit, he just might end up taking this undercover (so to speak) and just start hiding it and lying about it. I would suggest that his viewing habit be raised up in IC or MC if you have that option.
Lethealbegin - He does not understand what I mean by work ... Where is the extra mile, the extra effort like you put into her? ... When r you going to get it and jump fully in and stay in? ... You keep pushing yourself out the door of this marriage and family by behaving like this! ... So where is the real and permanent genuine effort towards me? ... Shouldn't there be more?

Its difficult for us to answer these question to the satisfaction of the BS asking. After all, we're not the spouse and we simply don't know the reasons, motives, feelings and thoughts that are within the head of the WS spouse. All we can go on is a gut feeling based on the post and our own experiences to guide us.
Should he be taking a fully pro-active stance? Yes. Should he be invested and supportive? Yes. Should he be able to show and prove his commitment? Yes.
But there is a huge gap between yes, he should and no, he doesn't.
Should is based on a textbook WS who is remorseful and willing to do the hard work to heal his broken marriage. Doesn't can often be the reality when the WS may still be foggy. Maybe he keeps pushing his way out of the door because in reality, his affair was a exit affair, designed to give him the opportunity to walk away. Maybe, he isn't committed 100% because he isn't committed. Maybe he just isn't in touch with his emotions and finds it hard to talk. Maybe shame and guilt are overpowering him. It could be that he simply doesn't have the life skills, the drive and capacity to see things easy and clearly. Maybe he is the stereotypical WS who needs to be shown each step of the way and who needs to be told what to do and when to do it.
I don't know that. Only you know your WS to the point where you can determine if its a matter of ability or desire.
The truth is the "difference between your expectations and his work" is partly based on the boundaries that YOU establish. The 180 is where you set the guidelines and the rules for R. If he doesn't or can't step up, you have to enforce the line in the sand. Otherwise, your rewarding him for a rather dismal performance. If he isn't doing the work that you need, you need to tell him that clearly and unequivocally.
He has blocked my ph no and The only contact would be emails which he is now ignoring ? I was getting through by vputting my ph on private but now has blocked that too . One minute he is working out things with me the next ignoring me ?? I don't understand .
He was caught 8 months ago and moved in with ow that same day ? Thought we had a good marriage had just had grand babies which he dosnt see either - we have 3 children 30, 28 , 27 - They also have no contact with him as they know ow background and was shocked - 3 marriages - 5 kids different partners . She did not have children to all marriages is also 6 years older than myself and 3 yrs older than him . . She is completley a different class from any of us and has had affairs before , I still don't know how long was going on I think a while he said a couple of months but don't believe him .
He is always angry ? And arrogant with me as if I did thus to him - why ? This just makes no sense - he has changed so much .
Will he come to his senses ? At all ? Did anyone treat their bs this way ??

Have any of you WS experienced being victims of abuse?
I am willing to do all that I can to create a NEW marriage, a safe one.
Any suggestions on how to guide him in opening up to the idea of having me as a wife again (only, in a new way)? (through love, and time)

naked women in artistic poses. He downloads his favorites. I hate this and I will ask him to stop. But, is this considered a porn habit if it is not sexual acts?
Absolutely yes! And I can pretty much guarantee you if he continues to look at this it will eventually escalate to porn. Especially if he has a history of past porn use.
Can any waywards translate? We have been in NC before and after that text exchange.
A week ago, around 11 pm, my ex husband texted me "Sorry."
Can any waywards translate?
I'll take a stab at it.
"I finally realize I was a total ass for cheating on you and ruining our marriage. I feel as though I should say something to you by way of apology, but I'm either a.) too conflict-avoidant, b.) too passive-aggressive, or c.) sorry but not sorry enough to give you a real, specific, thoughtful and detailed apology, so I'll just text "sorry" and hope that's sufficient."
I could be way off base, of course. I don't know the backstory or anything about him. If I'm right, I feel that it's lame. If one is truly sorry for something they've done, they should own it fully. JMHO.
There is a good thread on the Wayward forum that has some responses to your question.
I initially wrote "answers to your question" but I don't think there are any "answers." There are just snapshots of what we are thinking.
My WH is confusing me a little. Yesterday I told him that he never seems to want sex. I just dont feel like he DESIRES me, and he says that he is tired and sick etc etc. I told him that bothers me because he and OW would have sex once a week and he worked in the same job etc and he told me when he was confessing that "they held out as long as they could, but would break down and HAVE to have each other". So why isnt he like that with me?
So later last night, he again apologized for what he did and reassured me that he loves me.
This morning I tell him while we were laying in bed that I had had a bad dream, triggered and was feeling very depressed. He mentioned why I was feeling this way STILL and that he is hoping that I will "let it go" it was AGES ago.
One minute he seems like he gives a damn, the other minute he acts like it meant nothing that he betrayed me, and doesnt realize how deeply heartbroken I am.
Why does WH do this?
Affair Sex - I know a lot of people say it was awful but I cannot say that nor do I really believe it....I can say it was the best sex of my life and sometimes 10 - 12 times in a day. We could never get enough of each other.
...A is over and I am spending more time with my husband.... Our sex life is much better as well and we are enjoying spending time together.
...A is over and I am spending more time with my husband.... Our sex life is much better as well and we are enjoying spending time together.
But now your BS now has to live with knowing that HE will never be "the best sex of your life." Knowing that you will always look back at your AP as "best." How have the two of you reconciled that? How does a BS regain sexual desire knowing that they will always be the second best consolation prize? How does a WS enjoy it knowing it is sub-standard? "Enjoying spending time" seems to pale in comparison to "can't get enough."

Also, in his emails I found he had made every excuse in the book for it to not happen again to that person, but when she would email every few months, he sometimes responded "I'm too busy" or whatever and sometimes ignored. He told me that he did this to keep it from biting him in the rear by me finding out. Could this be true? He never went back (emails confirmed this that I found), so was he truly scared and regretful or filling me with crap again? Sorry for my harshness...it's just eating away at me and I am at the end of my rope. It's decision time for me I feel. Thanks a bunch!!
I assume your synopsis is correct... Which also leads me to believe I can expect more of this?
I'm not sure. When I apologized to my XH, after the D was final, I did so in an email (so he could read it if he felt comfortable and delete if he didn't) and enumerated very specific things I was apologizing for. I would never have texted him; to me that was crossing a boundary (even though he never told me not to text him) and I wouldn't have just sent a one-word text like you got---so I can't speak for your XH's state of mind as to whether he'll keep doing it. I'm sorry if his text made you uncomfortable. I hope he will show you more respect and courtesy in the future.

I apologize if I'm posting out of turn here, because this question wasn't directed at me. However, I guess I can sort of relate as I feel in some ways the same as the original poster of the part you quoted.
I agree that it sucks that anyone's BS has to know that they're not the best sex of anyone's life. However: do ANY of us really "know" whether or not they are the best? I have no damn clue whether or not I'm the best sex of my XH's life. That used to be something that would be important to me. It no longer is. One of the reasons it no longer is is because I believe it's a false sense of security in a sense. Call me cynical, but I think a lot of people tell EVERY partner that they're "the best ever" just to pump their ego. Or because it feels that way at the time. That was the case with me...it seemed that each partner I had seemed better than everyone else before. Maybe that was due to my own increasing self-awareness of what felt good, I dunno.
What if a hypothetical BS found out that their partner thought a previous lover---not an affair---was the best sex they'd ever had? Would it be just the fact that it was an AP that is bothersome or the fact that it was anyone?

Operation Entebbe was a counter-terrorist hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976.[6] A week earlier, on 27 June, an Air France plane with 248 passengers was hijacked, by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the German Revolutionary Cells, and flown to Entebbe, the main airport of Uganda. The local government supported the hijackers and dictator Idi Amin personally welcomed them. The hijackers separated the Israelis and Jews from the larger group and forced them into another room.[7][8][9] That afternoon, 47 non-Israeli hostages were released.[7][9][10] The next day, 101 more non-Israeli hostages were allowed to leave on board an Air France aircraft. More than 100 Israeli and Jewish passengers, along with the non-Jewish pilot Captain Bacos, remained as hostages and were threatened with death.[11][12]
The IDF acted on intelligence provided by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. The hijackers threatened to kill the hostages if their prisoner release demands were not met. This threat led to the planning of the rescue operation.[13] These plans included preparation for armed resistance from Ugandan military troops.[14]
The operation took place at night. Israeli transport planes carried 100 commandos over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) to Uganda for the rescue operation. The operation, which took a week of planning, lasted 90 minutes. 102 hostages were rescued. Five Israeli commandos were wounded and one, the unit commander, Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed. All the hijackers, three hostages and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed, and thirty (some say 11[4][5]) Soviet-built MiG-17s and MiG-21s of Uganda's air force were destroyed.[3] Kenyan sources supported Israel, and in the aftermath of the operation Idi Amin issued orders to retaliate and slaughter several hundred Kenyans present in Uganda.[15]
Operation Entebbe, which had the military codename Operation Thunderbolt, is sometimes referred to retroactively as Operation Jonathan in memory of the unit's leader, Yonatan Netanyahu. He was the older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of Israel.[16]

The PLO was ousted from Jordan after the Jordanian–Palestinian civil war. The Palestinian military organisations then made South Lebanon its headquarters and enlisted militants from Palestinian refugee camps. South Lebanon was also referred to as Fatahland, due to the almost complete control of Fatah and other military Palestinian organisations over this officially Lebanese area, which they used to stage attacks against Israel, mainly targeting civilians, and to engage in international aircraft hijacking campaigns.

On 27 June 1976, Air France Flight 139, an Airbus A300 (Airbus A300B4-203), registration F-BVGG (c/n 019), originated from Tel Aviv, Israel, carrying 246 mainly Jewish and Israeli passengers and a crew of 12. An additional 58 passengers, including four hijackers, waited to board at the Athens airport, heading for Paris.[17][nb 1] Soon after the 12:30 pm takeoff, the flight was hijacked by two Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – External Operations (PFLP-EO), and by two Germans, Wilfried Böse and Brigitte Kuhlmann, from the German Revolutionary Cells. The hijackers diverted the flight to Benghazi, Libya.[18] There it was held on the ground for seven hours for refuelling. During that time the hijackers released British-born Israeli citizen Patricia Martell who pretended to have a miscarriage.[19][13] The plane left Benghazi, and at 3:15 pm on the 28th, more than 24 hours after the flight's original departure, it arrived at Entebbe Airport in Uganda.[18]
At Entebbe, the four hijackers were joined by at least four others, supported by the forces of Uganda's pro-Palestinian President, Idi Amin. The hijackers held the passengers hostage in the transit hall of the disused former aiport terminal. On 28 June, they issued a declaration and formulated their demands: In addition to a ransom of 5 million US$ for the release of the airplane, they demanded the release of 40 mainly Palestinian militants held in Israel and 13 other detainees imprisoned in Kenya, France, Switzerland, and West Germany. They threatened that if these demands were not met, they would begin to kill hostages on 1 July 1976.[20][21]
On 29 June, after Ugandan soldiers had opened an entrance to a room next to the crowded waiting hall by destroying a separating wall, the militants separated the Israelis from the other hostages and told them to move to the adjoining room[22] – raising fears and memories of "selections" of prisoners for immediate execution in Nazi death camps during the Holocaust.[21][23]
On 30 June, the Palestinian-German commando released 48 hostages picked from among the non-Israeli group – mainly elderly and sick passengers and mothers with children. 47 of them were flown out to Paris, one passenger was treated in hospital for a day. On 1 July, after the Israeli government had conveyed its agreement to negotiations, the hostage-takers extended their deadline to 4 July noon and released another group of 100 non-Israeli captives who again were flown out to Paris a few hours later. Among the 106 hostages staying behind with their captors at Entebbe airport were the 12 members of the Air France crew, about ten young French passengers, and the Israeli group of some 84 people, including at least five non-Israelis.[1][18][6][24]
Operational planning[edit]
In the week before the raid, Israel tried a number of political avenues to obtain the release of the hostages. Many sources indicate that the Israeli cabinet was prepared to release Palestinian prisoners if a military solution seemed unlikely to succeed. A retired IDF officer, Baruch "Burka" Bar-Lev, had known Idi Amin for many years and was considered to have a strong personal relationship with him. At the request of the cabinet, he spoke with Amin on the phone many times, trying to gain the release of the hostages, without success.[25][26] The Israeli government also approached the US government to deliver a message to Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, asking him to request Amin to release the hostages.[27]
At the deadline (1 July),[28] the Israeli government offered to negotiate with the hijackers to extend the deadline to 4 July. Amin also asked them to extend the deadline until that date. This meant he could take a diplomatic trip to Port Louis, Mauritius, to officially hand over chairmanship of the Organisation of African Unity to Seewoosagur Ramgoolam.[29] This extension of the hostage deadline proved crucial to providing Israeli forces enough time to get to Entebbe.[17]
On 3 July, at 18:30, the Israeli cabinet approved the rescue mission,[30] presented by Major General Yekutiel "Kuti" Adam and Brig. Gen Shomron. Shomron was appointed as the operation commander.[31]
Attempts at a diplomatic solution[edit]
As the crisis unfolded, attempts were made to negotiate the release of the hostages. According to declassified diplomatic documents, the Egyptian government under Sadat tried to negotiate with both the PLO and the Ugandan government, and special envoy Hanni al Hassan was sent to negotiate in Uganda.[32][33]
Raid preparation[edit]
President Idi Amin allowed several more Palestinians to join the original hijackers.[34] Hostage accounts given after the raid testified that the hijackers kept both Jew and Israeli hostages.[35] However, in 2011, one former hostage has claimed that non-Israelis, including Jews, were allowed to leave.[23] When Israeli authorities failed to negotiate a political solution, they decided the only option was an attack to rescue the hostages.
Lt. Col. Joshua Shani, lead pilot of the operation, later said that the Israelis had initially conceived of a rescue plan that involved dropping naval commandos into Lake Victoria. The commandos would have ridden rubber boats to the airport located on the edge of the lake. They planned to kill the hijackers and after freeing the hostages, ask Amin for passage home. The Israelis abandoned this plan because they lacked the time necessary and also received word that Lake Victoria was infested with crocodiles.[36]
Aircraft refuelling[edit]
While planning the raid, the Israeli forces had to figure out how to refuel the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft they intended to use while en route to Entebbe. The Israelis lacked the logistical capacity to aerially refuel four to six aircraft so far from Israeli airspace. While several East African nations, including the logistically preferred choice Kenya, were sympathetic, none wished to incur the wrath of Amin or the Palestinians by allowing the Israelis to land their aircraft within their borders.
The raid could not proceed without assistance from at least one East African government. The Jewish owner of the Block hotels chain in Kenya, along with other members of the Jewish and Israeli community in Nairobi, may have used their political and economic influence to help persuade Kenya's President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta to help Israel. The Israeli government finally secured permission from Kenya for the IDF task force to cross Kenyan airspace and refuel at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.[37]
Kenyan Minister of Agriculture Bruce MacKenzie persuaded Kenyan President Kenyatta to permit Israeli Mossad agents to gather information before the hostage rescue operation in Uganda, and to allow Israeli Air Force aircraft to land and refuel at a Nairobi airport after the rescue.[38] In retaliation, Ugandan President Idi Amin ordered Ugandan agents to assassinate MacKenzie, who was killed on 24 May 1978, when a time bomb attached to his plane exploded as it flew above Ngong Hills, Kenya, in a flight from Entebbe, Uganda.[38][39][40][41] Later, Mossad Chief Director Meir Amit had a forest planted in Israel in MacKenzie's name.[38]
The Norfolk hotel, then owned by the Block Hotels, was bombed on 31 December 1980 by the PFLP/PLO. The attack, in which 13 people of several nationalities were killed and 87 more were wounded, was retaliation for the possible assistance the Block family and Kenyan Jewish/Israeli business community gave to the Entebbe operation. The bombing was the first act of foreign terrorism perpetrated on Kenyan soil.[42]
Hostage intelligence[edit]
Mossad built an accurate picture of the whereabouts of the hostages, the number of hijackers, and the involvement of Ugandan troops from the released hostages in Paris.[43] Additionally, Israeli firms were involved in building projects in Africa during the 1960s and 1970s and while preparing the raid the Israeli army consulted with Solel Boneh, a large Israeli construction company that had built the terminal where the hostages were held.[44] While planning the military operation the IDF erected a partial replica of the airport terminal with the help of civilians who had helped build the original.
Muki Betzer said in a later Associated Press interview that Mossad operatives extensively interviewed the hostages who had been released.[45] He said that a French-Jewish passenger who had a military background and "a phenomenal memory" provided detailed information about the number of weapons carried by the hostage-takers.[45] After Betzer collected intelligence and planned for several days, four Israeli Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft secretly flew to Entebbe Airport at midnight without being detected by Entebbe air traffic control.
Task force[edit]
The Israeli ground task force numbered approximately 100 personnel, and comprised the following:[31]
- The ground command and control element
- This small group comprised the operation and overall ground commander, Brig. Gen Shomron, the air force representative Col. Ami Ayalon and the communications and support personnel.
- The assault element
- A 29-man assault unit led by Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, this force was composed entirely of commandos from Sayeret Matkal, and was given the primary task of assaulting the old terminal and rescuing the hostages. Major Betser led one of the element's assault teams, and took command after Lt. Col. Netanyahu was killed.
- The securing element
- The Paratroopers force led by Col. Matan Vilnai – tasked with securing the civilian airport field, clearing and securing the runways, protection and fuelling of the Israeli aircrafts in Entebbe.
- The Golani force led by Col. Uri Sagi – tasked with securing the C-130 Hercules aircraft for the hostages evacuation, getting it as close as possible to the terminal and boarding the hostages; also as general reserves.
- The Sayeret Matkal force led by Major Shaul Mofaz – tasked with clearing the military airstrip, destroying the squadron of MiG fighter jets on the ground, to prevent any possible interceptions by the Ugandan Air Force; and holding off hostile ground forces from the city of Entebbe.
Attack route[edit]
Taking off from Sharm al-Sheikh,[46] the task force flew down the international flight path over the Red Sea, mostly flying at a height of no more than 30 m (100 ft) to avoid radar detection by Egyptian, Sudanese, and Saudi Arabian forces. Near the south outlet of the Red Sea the C-130s turned south and passed south of Djibouti. From there, they went to a point northeast of Nairobi, Kenya, likely across Somalia and the Ogaden area of Ethiopia. They turned west, passing through the African Rift Valley and over Lake Victoria.[47]
Two Boeing 707 jets followed the cargo planes. The first Boeing contained medical facilities and landed at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya. The commander of the operation, General Yekutiel Adam, was on board the second Boeing, which circled over Entebbe Airport during the raid.[31]
The Israeli forces landed at Entebbe at 23:00 IST, with their cargo bay doors already open. A black Mercedes that looked like President Idi Amin's vehicle and Land Rovers that usually accompanied Amin's Mercedes were brought along. The Israelis hoped they could use them to bypass security checkpoints. When the C-130s landed, Israeli assault team members drove the vehicles to the terminal building in the same fashion as Amin.[14][48] As they approached the terminal, two Ugandan sentries, aware that Idi Amin had recently purchased a white Mercedes, ordered the vehicles to stop.[49] The commandos shot the sentries using silenced pistols, but did not kill them.[14] As they pulled away, however, an Israeli commando in one of the following Land Rovers killed them with an unsuppressed rifle.[14] Fearing the hijackers would be alerted prematurely, the assault team quickly approached the terminal.[48]
Hostage rescue[edit]
The Israelis sprang from their vehicles and burst towards the terminal. The hostages were in the main hall of the airport building, directly adjacent to the runway. Entering the terminal, the commandos shouted through a megaphone, "Stay down! Stay down! We are Israeli soldiers," in both Hebrew and English. Jean-Jacques Maimoni, a 19-year-old French immigrant to Israel who chose to identify himself as an Israeli Jew to the hijackers even though he also had a French passport—stood up and was killed when Israeli company commander Muki Betzer and another soldier mistook him for a hijacker and fired at him.[18] Another hostage, Pasco Cohen, 52, the manager of an Israeli medical insurance fund, was also fatally wounded by gunfire from the commandos.[18][50] In addition, a third hostage, 56-year-old Ida Borochovitch, a Russian Jew who had emigrated to Israel, was killed in the crossfire.[18]
According to hostage Ilan Hartuv, Wilfried Böse was the only hijacker who, after the operation began, entered the hall housing the hostages. At first he pointed his Kalashnikov rifle at hostages, but "immediately came to his senses" and ordered them to find shelter in the restroom, before being killed by the commandos. According to Hartuv, Böse fired only at Israeli soldiers and not at hostages.[23]
At one point, an Israeli commando called out in Hebrew, "Where are the rest of them?" referring to the hijackers.[51] The hostages pointed to a connecting door of the airport's main hall, into which the commandos threw several hand grenades. They then entered the room and shot dead the three remaining hijackers, ending the assault.[17] Meanwhile, the other three C-130 Hercules had landed and unloaded armoured personnel carriers to provide defence during the anticipated hour of refuelling. The Israelis then destroyed Ugandan MiG fighter planes to prevent them from pursuing, and conducted a sweep of the airfield for intelligence-gathering.[17]
After the raid, the Israeli assault team returned to their aircraft and began loading the hostages. Ugandan soldiers shot at them in the process. The Israeli commandos returned fire with their AK47s, inflicting casualties on the Ugandans. During this brief but intense firefight, Ugandan soldiers fired from the Airport control tower. Israeli commander Yonatan Netanyahu was shot in the chest and killed, possibly by a Ugandan sniper.[1][52] He was the only Israeli commando killed in the operation.[17] At least five other commandos were wounded. Israeli commandos fired light machine guns and an RPG back at the control tower, suppressing the Ugandans' fire. The Israelis finished evacuating the hostages, loaded Netanyahu's body into one of the planes, and left Entebbe Airport.[53] The entire operation lasted 53 minutes—of which the assault lasted only 30 minutes. All seven hijackers present, and between 33 and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed.[17][need quotation to verify] About 11 Ugandan Army Air Force MiG-17 fighter planes were destroyed on the ground at Entebbe Airport.[54] Out of the 106 hostages, three were killed, one was left in Uganda, and approximately 10 were wounded. The 102 rescued hostages were flown to Israel via Nairobi, Kenya, shortly after the raid.[16]
Ugandan reaction[edit]
Dora Bloch, a 75-year-old Israeli who also held British citizenship, had been released by the hijackers due to illness and taken to Mulago Hospital in Kampala. After the raid she was killed by officers of the Ugandan army, as were some of her doctors and nurses, apparently for trying to intervene.[18][nb 2][56] In April 1987, Henry Kyemba, Uganda's Attorney general and Minister of Justice at the time, told the Uganda Human Rights Commission that Bloch had been dragged from her hospital bed and killed by two army officers on Amin's orders.[57] Bloch was shot and her body dumped in the trunk of a car that had Ugandan intelligence services number plates. Her remains were recovered near a sugar plantation 20 miles (32 km) east of Kampala in 1979,[58] after the Ugandan–Tanzanian War ended Amin's rule.[55] Amin also ordered the killing of hundreds of Kenyans living in Uganda in retaliation for Kenya's assistance to Israel in the raid.[59]
The government of Uganda, represented by the Foreign Minister Juma Oris, later convened a session of the United Nations Security Council to seek official condemnation of the Israeli raid,[60] as a violation of Ugandan sovereignty. The Security Council ultimately declined to pass any resolution on the matter, condemning neither Israel nor Uganda. In his address to the Council, Israeli ambassador Chaim Herzog said:
We come with a simple message to the Council: we are proud of what we have done because we have demonstrated to the world that a small country, in Israel's circumstances, with which the members of this Council are by now all too familiar, the dignity of man, human life and human freedom constitute the highest values. We are proud not only because we have saved the lives of over a hundred innocent people—men, women and children—but because of the significance of our act for the cause of human freedom.[61][62]
Western nations spoke in support of the raid. West Germany called the raid "an act of self defense." Switzerland and France praised the operation. Representatives of the United Kingdom and United States offered significant praise, calling the Entebbe raid "an impossible operation." Some in the United States noted that the hostages were freed on 4 July 1976, 200 years after the signing of the US declaration of independence.[63][64][65] In private conversation with Israeli Ambassador Dinitz, Henry Kissinger sounded criticism for Israeli use of US equipment during the operation, but that criticism was not made public.[66] In mid-July 1976, the supercarrier USS Ranger (CV-61) embarked, and her escorts entered the Indian Ocean and operated off the Kenyan coast in response to a threat of military action by forces from Uganda.[67]
UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim described the raid as "a serious violation of the national sovereignty of a United Nations member state," (meaning Uganda). Dozens of Ugandan soldiers were killed in the raid. The Arab and Communist world condemned the operation, calling it an act of aggression.
Captain Bacos was awarded the Legion of Honour, and the other crew members were awarded the French Order of Merit.[68][69][70][71]
In the ensuing years, Betser and the Netanyahu brothers—Iddo and Benjamin, all Sayeret Matkal veterans—argued in increasingly public forums about who was to blame for the unexpected early firefight that caused Yonatan's death and partial loss of tactical surprise.[72][73]
As a result of the operation, the United States military developed highly trained rescue teams modelled on the Entebbe rescue.[74] One notable attempt to imitate it was Operation Eagle Claw, a failed rescue of 53 American embassy personnel held hostage in Tehran during the Iran hostage crisis.[75][76]
The hijacked aircraft carried 248 passengers and 12 crew members.[17] Four passengers were killed and seven injured.[77]
The four passengers killed were:
- Jean-Jacques Maimoni—a 19-year-old French Jew who stood up while the Israeli commandos were shooting at the hijackers. They may have mistaken him for a hijacker.[18]
- Pasco Cohen—a 52-year-old manager of an Israeli medical insurance fund, who was accidentally killed by fire aimed at a terrorist standing nearby.[18]
- Ida Borochovitch—a 56-year-old Russian Jew who had immigrated to Israel, was killed in the crossfire.[18]
- Dora Bloch—a 75-year-old British immigrant to Israel, was first released by the hostage-takers due to her illness, but subsequently killed by Ugandan troops in reprisal for the raid while she was under treatment at Mulago Hospital in Kampala.[55]
In August 2012, Uganda and Israel commemorated the raid at a sombre ceremony at the base of a tower at the Old Entebbe Airport, where Yonatan Netanyahu was killed. Uganda and Israel renewed their commitment in the fight against terrorism and to work towards humanity. In addition, wreaths were laid, a moment of silence was held, speeches were given, and a poem was recited. The flags of Uganda and Israel waved side by side, demonstrating the two countries' strong bilateral relations, next to a plaque with a history of the raid. The ceremony was attended by Ugandan State Minister for Animal Industry Bright Rwamirama and the deputy Foreign Affairs Minister of Israel Daniel Ayalon, who laid wreaths at the site.[78]

Cashmere Blend Tights 3 3
It ran way small. not long enough. Weigh on bottom end of large size and height that the sizing showed. But was way to short in legs February 14, 2013
Not properly sized. I ordered these tights for my grown daughter who has to spend parts of the day outside in our wintery country. She is 5ft. 7in. tall, and weighs 145. She wears a size 12 dress I thought they would fit her with room to spare. When they arrived she tried them on and couldn't even get them up to her hips. They are not the size they say they are. I will send them back and have them replaced with the largest size you carry because she realy needs them. I am sure they are good quality tights but just disappointed that they didn't fit.

Waited to long to buy! I have been looking at these tights for a long time but was concerned about them being itchy. Finally decided to try. No itching at all and I have very sensitive skin. What a pleasant surprise. Plus, they do not bag or sag, fit perfectly, are cozy and so comfortable. Why did I wait so long to order them???? Will be adding other colors to my collection.

you are a dick, who has no dick.
the end.
i need to say this. it's selfish and it's for me but it's also for everyone who has ever been discouraged by others.
if i wanted job security, i wouldn't have gone to an art school. i'm absolutely tired of being asked the same questions or being told the same things. yeah i know the job market is pretty nonexistent for animators right now. i got a job as an animator while still in school though. that's weird.
and i'm going to make what i want and this is because i'm passionate and hard-working and maybe you can't say that about yourself so you criticize others, who to you, just seem like sleepy-eyed dreamers.
well if only we could all be realists.
