Skip to comments.CBS: Libyan security team fingered US ambassador to be killed; Libyan president issues apology
Posted on 09/12/2012 7:21:08 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
In the confusion surrounding the murders of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya yesterday, the Libyan government --- which exists due to the military intervention of the US and NATO --- initially left the impression that loyalists to dead dictator Moammar Qaddafi conducted the assassinations. CBS, however, now reports that the Libyan government has changed its tune. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the other diplomatic personnel got moved to another building by Libyan security forces when the consulate was attacked, and then betrayed by them to the attackers:
Military officials told CBS News an anti-terrorism team of U.S. Marines was being deployed to Libya to help secure U.S. interests in the country following the attack. The State Department said, however, that no Americans were remaining at the facility in Benghazi. State officials would not confirm how many Americans were evacuated, or to where.
Wanis al-Sharef, a Libyan Interior Ministry official in Benghazi, said the four Americans were killed when the angry mob, which gathered to protest a U.S.-made film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad, fired guns and burned down the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
He said Stevens, 52, and other officials were moved to a second building, deemed safer, after the initial wave of protests at the consulate. According to al-Sharef, members of the Libyan security team seem to have indicated to the protesters the building to which the American officials had been relocated, and that building then came under attack.
Stevens, 52, was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty since 1979.
The dispatch of more Marines to Libya comes a little late, writes Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart, who wonders why the US didn't have more Marines stationed at this mission in the first place. Or did they have any?
Security at the consulate was apparently provided by Libyan nationals hired by the United States. While security for American embassies is typically provided by our own Marines, the two Marines reported killed in yesterday's attacks appear not to have been stationed at the embassy, but were sent there from another unknown location as the violence erupted. There is also no indication if these two Marines were the only American military personnel on site at the time of Ambassador Stevens's death.
All reports indicate that the security forces at the consulate were overwhelmed by the size of the militant crowds and offered no resistance as they stormed the building, looted it, and killed the four Americans.
As the facts surrounding the destruction of the American consulate and death of Ambassador Stevens become known, investigators will focus on these question: Did the State Department provide adequate security for our embassy staff there? If not, why not?
And finally, the most important question of all: Where were the Marines?
We'd better get those answers quickly … perhaps as quickly as tomorrow. The Muslim Brotherhood, which now controls Egypt, has called for a "peaceful protest" on Friday throughout all the country — and wants "all national forces" to participate in it:
Egypt's powerful Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday called for nationwide protests Friday after a film deemed offensive to Islam sparked a deadly attack in Libya and furious protests in Cairo.
The Brotherhood calls "for peaceful protests on Friday outside all the main mosques in all of Egypt's provinces to denounce offenses to religion and to the Prophet," the Muslim Brotherhood's Secretary General Mahmud Hussein said in a statement.
He also urged all "national forces to join the protests."
The Muslim Brotherhood, from which President Mohammed Morsi emerged, is the largest and most organized political force in the country.
We'd better figure out our security in Cairo ASAP, or get our people out of there. This is going downhill fast, and the weak-sauce responses from the Obama administration is very clearly not dissuading radicals from their purpose.
Update: Libya's interim president, Mohammed el-Megarif, issued an explicit apology for the murders of Stevens and the three other Americans:
Mohammed el-Megarif described the attack as "cowardly" and offered his condolences on the death of Ambassador Chris Stevensand the three other Americans. Speaking to reporters, he vowed to bring the culprits to justice and maintain his country's close relations with the United States. He said the three Americans were security guards. ….
"We extend our apology to America, the American people and the whole world," el-Megarif said.
Contrast that with the silence coming from Egypt's leadership after the attack on the US embassy.
I thought.....they loved us??
Arab Spring? It was all over the Twitters!!!
Has obama apologized yet?
Does everyone love us yet?
Has Obama restored America's image, abroad yet?
Has Obama/Biden "Foreign Policy experience" proved to be better than Romney's supposed lack of same?
Goes to prove once again that Liberals and Democrats should never have power in government or be in charge.
Why would we relay on Libyans in a hot spot on an anniversary of 9/11..to protect our personnel???
Yes, where were the Marines???
I see they drug his body though the town it seems on Drudge.
I thought we were safer? I thought they loved us more?. I hate this admin.
This is on their hands. I wonder how he will blame Bush when el heffe speaks this morning. Will he bow? Will he say we are not in a war with Islam?
The Arab "Street" - those loveable bunch of goofballs - strikes again.
I think it's obvious to anyone with half a brain that Ann Coulter's original take was the right one:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
As more information trickles out, it gets worse and worse. What was doing there with no American security???!!!
I know what I'd do. No (like $0) foreign aid to both of them. Let them wallow in their own excrement and starve to death. Egypt has about enough food and dollars to purchase food to last them about three months. When you are broke, you don't give to charity, especially to people who hate you and want you dead.
So, now Obama (and Hillary) can run on their foreign policy experience! Carter x 2
"Security at the consulate was apparently provided by Libyan nationals hired by the United States. "
SOUND FAMILIAR????? It SHOULD!!!!
Our "trust" in AFGHAN military personnel has generated how many dead American soldies??
When are we going to wake UP??????
You can't TRUST Muslims if you are a non-Muslim - PERIOD!!!
i've seen many reports indicated a film that was offensive to islam, but nooone ever named the film, what was it? What was it about? That Islam was violent?
"Yes, where were the Marines???'
Hillary thought they weren't necessary, she actually thought the appeasement program was working.
Obliterate the Middle East.
this whole administration is a joke! I can't wait to vote against this tool and his tool vp
Heck, Democrats should never be in charge of so much as a lemonade stand.
With Muslim "security forces" killing our military almost daily in Afghanistan, why in the world do our diplomats trust any of them? This naivete cost these men their lives.
Well, I know that 2016: Obama's America is insulting to the Progressive's prophet, but I haven't heard of one insulting the Muzzie's. Knowing them it is probably something that came out five years ago and they are just know hearing about it in their sandhuts.
"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants. "- B Hussein Obama
I worked late last night and this is the first I have heard of this betrayal and outrage. Brutally killed AND DRAGGED THROUGH THE STREETS!!!!!?? My God how much more do we as Americans have to put up with. I am sick of this. I don't care if these people like us...I want them to fear and respect us. Speak softly and carry the biggest damn stick in the neighborhood.
Why is the msm lying to cover for the terrorists? I just heard hillary give a statement saying that the Ambassador was taken to a hospital. There is a HUGE difference between what she said and what is being reported. I also wonder how the "handful" of radicals she referred to was actually a mob of thousands who proceeded to cheer the burning of our flag. Not one report mentioned these descrepancies.
Unless they were Jews...
What a strong President should do are the following:
1) Demand that the perpetrators be brought to justice.
2) Since the crime was committed in AMERICAN TERRITORY, America will try them and sentence them.
3) Tell Libya and Egypt that unless the above demands are fulfilled, THE CHECKS ARE NOT COMING.
We then give them a deadline.
If by the deadline, the above demands are not fulfilled, we do what Reagan did to Khadaffy.
Either turn that place into glass or personally go to the embassy with libyan-only guards, pull down that offensive black flag and raise the Flag of the United States of America.
Then, when you return to these shores, get on your knees and beg the forgiveness of the citizens of these United States. Do that or talk to the hand..
silver lining? this should quash any 'further aspirations'
for her thighness. a huge failure at the end of her
term as s.o.s. hussane will throw her under the bus on this
Every embassy or consulate I've been to had locals as the first line of defense. They can speak the language. The military bases are the same way except some places they will have US personnel with them.
There should NEVER be any checks sent to these savage sand dwelling goat f#ckers...there never SHOULD have been any. Taking taxpayer money to support people who HATE us is an insult to every American who pays taxes.
They hate us, they've ALWAYS hated us, they WILL always hate us. Fair enough...why support your enemy...let 'em die. Every last friggin one.
Wait a minute. THis can't be right.

Well, OBVIOUSLY, trusting in MUSLIMS is NOT a good idea. Having them as front men is fine, but you need a back-up force to provide REAL proection.
Better yet, instead of setting up Ambassadors in Islamic cities, we should be INCINERATING them (the Islamic cities) - ALL of them.
At times like these I agree with O'Barry... we should reduce our Nuclear stockpile... by using some of the older outdated warheads on Libya... maybe Egypt as well...

Do you think they could be keeping the Iraqi WMD (the ones that never existed, and were removed just before the US bombing) secure?
Yes he has. In fact he's done so twice if you count Hilary's statement. Truly disgusting!
That's not true. They were carrying him to the hospital. Obamugali said so.
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
Ann is much kinder than I am.
Kill their leaders, flatten their infrastructure, divide their countries along ethnic lines, set them at each other's throats, walk away.
In a muslim country? Why would they need security???
"..Muslim Brotherhood on Wednesday called for nationwide protests Friday ..."
"never let a crisis go to waste" - Obama taught them well or is he directing them???
*shrug* The DNC showed pictures of Russian ships while allegedly praising our Navy.
I thought.....they loved us??
Arab Spring? It was all over the Twitters!!!
Better to have savages fear you than love you...
If Obama's not man enough to go after the killers, he could at least sue for the return of back wages paid to members of the Libyan Security Team ... the jerks paid by American tax payers... the jerks who tipped off the mob ... Lowlifes. Well paid lowlifes - and we want our money back....

Artest, Jackson charge Palace stands
Updated: November 21, 2004, 2:57 AM ETESPN.com news services
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Players and fans exchanged punches in the stands near the end of a Pacers-Pistons game Friday night in one of the worst brawls in NBA history. The mayhem left several people injured and prompted a police investigation.
Indiana's Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson charged into the stands and fought with fans in the final minute of their game against Detroit, and the brawl forced an early and ugly end to the Pacers' 97-82 win.
"I felt like I was fighting for my life ...

By Molly Hayden, U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Public AffairsFebruary 27, 2009
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - A small group gathered at the Outdoor Recreation Center for a whale watching adventure here, Jan. 31.
More than 20 family members piled in a van and were driven to Haleiwa where they met with site leader and volunteer Renee Bergeron, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
A small hike led them to Puaena Point Beach were they began to tally humpback whale sightings as part of the annual Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count.
Bergeron explained a number of whale behaviors, including breach, puduncle slap and fluke up dive, a display in which the humpback whale lunges forward with its head raised above water.
The group then sat on the beach, located whales off the shore and recorded their behaviors during the land survey.
Raimie Neibaur, 11, took notes as other volunteers called out various behaviors from behind binoculars.
Although it wasn't the first time the child had seen whales, it was a magical moment for her.
"This is fun," said Neibaur. "It's cool to see how they act in the water."
In the early morning hours, numerous whales provided a show for volunteers, emerging from the water, exhaling air through their blowholes and slapping the surface of the water with their tails.
Activity slowed down a bit as the day went on, but family members remained on the beach, dedicated to recording information and searching for more sightings.
"It seems appropriate to go whale watching while living in Hawaii," said David Zuckerman, sustainability program manager, Installation Management Command-Pacific. "This event encourages partnership between the military community and the state. We are all here to volunteer and be a part of something greater."
Humpback whales migrate each winter to the Hawaiian shores to mate, give birth and care for their young, according to Bergeron.
The whale watching season peaks in February and March, and by mid-May, almost all of the whales have departed to migrate back to their feeding grounds in the waters off Alaska.
The NOAA manages the sanctuary and protects humpback whales and their
Humpback whales are an endangered species, according to the sanctuary. In the past, the global humpback whale population size was about 750,000 to 2 million animals. The current global population is approximately 30 to 40 thousand. On average, 10,000 humpback whales could come to Hawaii each winter.
The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Ocean Count takes place the last Saturday in January, February and March, bringing hundreds of volunteers to 56 sites statewide.

New Raspberry Pi Camera
The popular Raspberry Pi single-board Linux computer gets a new add-on camera device.
The wildly popular Raspberry Pi project has announced that it is working on an add-on camera module for the single-board Raspberry Pi computer. The camera unit will sell for around US $25. So far, the project has not set a release date for the new camera module. A post at the Raspberry Pi forum states the camera is "...a fixed focus 5MP sensor capable of 2592x1944 stills, but also 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p60/90." The dispatch adds, "We are still working on the faster frame rates, but stills capture and 1080p30 are already working. There is still some work to do on the camera driver and on image quality."

I love this recipe. I am eating this as I type. I followed the recipe exactly and chose to put mine in a flour tortilla for a breakfast burrito. I added extra cheese and salsa to the burrito. Fantastic! Thanks so much for posting!
We really enjoyed this for breakfast. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I doubled it for my family.I did use the milk instead of water and used cheddar cheese. My youngest put it in a tortilla wrap but the rest of us just ate it as is. This was easy to make. I did add pepper to the egg mixture and just a touch of salt.

Prof Dearden was ''extremely delighted'' to win the Genetics
Society of AustralAsia Ross Crozier Medal, which recognises
his work on evolution and development, epigenetics and
developmental plasticity.
It was particularly pleasing to be a New Zealander gaining an
award from an Australasian society, and that the award was in
the name of Prof Ross Crozier, Prof Dearden said.
Prof Crozier had done ''fantastic work in social insects,
which is a field I work in as well'', he said.
Based at James Cook University in Australia, Prof Crozier was
a pioneer in the study of genetics in social insects.
He died in 2009.
Prof Dearden, who is based in the Otago biochemistry
department, works with bees, and has also undertaken research
with fruit flies.
He is on sabbatical in New York.
Social insects, such as ants and bees, provide a platform for
research into how the genetics of an animal is affected by
the environment.
Prof Dearden studies how the environment influences the genes
of social insects, and the implications of this for human and
animal health.
The award was announced at the annual scientific meeting of
the Genetics Society of AustralAsia, in Sydney last week.

Press reviews[edit]
Prince Gremin in Eugene Onegin "Here was a bass that actually hit a note in his lowest range ... besides effectively shaping the melodic line." -St. Louis Post Dispatch "Stefan Szkafarowsky brought a regal bass to Prince Gremin's showcase aria." -San Diego Union Tribune
Filippo in Don Carlo "Stefan Szkafarowsky sang a dynamically realized Filippo, displaying sure command of a mellifluous instrument." -Opera News
Zaccarias in Nabucco "Stefan Szkafarowsky, by contrast, infused the prophet Zaccarias with a burning intensity that lifted the level of the show whenever he was on stage." -The Hartford Courant "Bass Stefan Szkafarowsky's Zaccaria was smooth, liquid, and dignified; a natural and imposing figure for the high priest." -Newsday "It was bass Stefan Szkafarowsky who had the greatest triumph due to his dynamic contrasts in Nabucco..." -Newsday
Raimondo in Lucia di Lammermoor "Woods' performance was backed by several very strong performances... Stefan Szkafarowsky as Raimondo... whose thundering judgements are like a classic chorus." -Newsday "A towering presence and one of the finest bass voices heard here in many years makes memorable the role of Raimondo, as sung by Stefan Szkafarowsky." -Times-Colonist "Massive is an understatement to describe Stefan Szkafarowsky's bass voice - he rocked the hall with his mighty instrument." -The Grand Rapids Press
Lodovico in Otello "A pleasant surprise was the deep bass of Stefan Szkafarowsky - a solid, mature Lodovico." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Ferrando in Il Trovatore "Far more vital was the Ferrando of Stefan Szkafarowsky whose 'Abbietta zingara' set the tone for the production - dark, grand, and infused with rhythmic incisiveness." -Opera News

Scripture: 1Thessalonians (NIV) 5:16 Rejoice always
17 Pray continually,
18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Observation: One of the things Paul writes as he closes this letter is to pray continually. If we really believe that God is always with us, then we should talk with him continually. When someone comes to visit we politely carry on a conversation with them. Speaking with them is the best way to acknowledge their presence. Praying is the best way to acknowledge His Presence. Continual prayer reminds us of His Presence.
Application: I almost always close my prayers with the word "Amen." Often is say, "In Jesus name, Amen." Amen means "so be it" or "may it be." It is a formal way of ending my prayers. It is almost like saying "goodbye." But if God is really with me continually, I never need to say "goodbye!" God is always present. He is always a part of my life. He is always a part of my conversation. I should pray without ceasing.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for your continual presence. I like to sing the old song to you: "You walk with me and You talk with me, and you tell me I am your own…" Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I didn't think this was Oriental at all. In fact, it felt more like a Wild Wild West song. The whistle and guitar clearly made it more western than east. Plus the stage was ruin in the desert with Indian/cowboy theme to it.

so catchy! so putting this on my ipod! thanks for the download! makes me think of china a bit!

But as the PC uses memory instead of reading off of the actuall CD it tends to slow down and goes wrong a lot more.Dont take me wrong I do like the PC as it has some killer games such as Half Life etc.
But this game seems to be for console only as the format will be DVD (Which PS2 can play both CD and DVD) who not may people have fitted into thier computers. The main problem I see whith this is that you will need to have a top notch PC for which to run it like you did in TMP whih when i played the Ottoah Gunga level was hell. Even though my computer was registered as above required i still couldnt see through water or the Bubble's even though Tranperisie was on. This game looks good but it is questionable whever a PC appearence is on the cards.

The Cabrillo Bridge in Balboa Park reopened Monday, five months after it went down for $38 million in refurbishing and retrofitting.
Tthe project is expected to make the bridge more resilient in case of an earthquake.
The bridge was supposed to reopen in April but was delayed until Monday, because construction crews kept finding debris and water inside the bridge.
The Cabrillo Bridge, also known as the Laurel Street Bridge, was built in 1915. Integrated mesh steel was used to retrofit the span's seven pedestals.

Our purpose in this communication is to report the death of 4 patients following the injection of different mercurial diuretics and to point out the similarity of the cardiac function of these patients at the time of death to the experimental cardiac arrest in dogs produced by mercury.
Jackson1 reported on the pharmacologic action of organic mercury compounds on the heart. By using 5 cc. of a 2 per cent solution of salyrgan intravenously, he was able regularly to produce death by ventricular fibrillation within three to five minutes in normal dogs under ether anesthesia. If the vagus inhibition of the heart was removed either by direct section or by large doses of atropine, death occurred from respiratory failure before the onset of ventricular fibrillation. He was of the opinion that the mercurials acted primarily on the heart through the mechanism of stimulation of the vagus and secondarily on

Despite Rush Limbaugh Apology, Advertisers Continue to Flee
Seven sponsors have now backed away.
Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh did finally apologize to Sandra Fluke for "[choosing] the wrong words" and "[attempting] to be humorous" — remember, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute" for openly discussing contraception, which 99 percent of women have used at least once. Of course, Limbaugh's famously crass and angry sense of humor is nothing new to his advertisers, who've had to make their peace with it in order to reach his millions of loyal listeners. But the current brouhaha caught his sponsors off guard, scaring several off, including a few who suspended their ads well after his public apology. ProFlowers, an online florist, is now the seventh company to ditch Limbaugh's radio show, following the example of two mattress sellers, a mortgage refinancing company, a software maker, legal services website, and online data provider. If things get much worse, Limbaugh's ad people may have to put in a call to the makers of Dr. Pepper 10, a low-calorie soda aggressively marketed as "not for women."

Skip to comments.Royal pair's honeymoon bill $690,000
Posted on 05/15/2011 5:56:31 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA
They may be lapping up a luxury Indian Ocean island honeymoon, but the newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge plan to break with royal tradition and keep only a skeleton personal staff for their day-to-day lives. As Prince William and his wife Catherine near the end of their retreat on a private island in the Seychelles, news broke that the 10-night stay could be costing a whopping 450,000 ($A690,000 ).
German holiday planner Farhad Vladi confirmed that he had rented a private island to the royal family. An island which typically has a $A690,000 daily tariff, Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper reported.
''Prince William and Kate are spending their honeymoon there. But you will understand that we are not saying anything further,'' Mr Vladi said.
It is unknown who's picking up the tab for the royal break, or if the couple received a discount, but on their return to Britain, William, 28, and Catherine, 29, plan to tighten their belts.

Well...somebody has to spend money somewhere....
Well it boosts morale of the peasants
I like them!
As do I.
If any royal couple ever deserved a lavish honeymoon, it is these two.
I am not into royalty at all, but these two strike me as down to earth.
That's about what my honeymoon has cost me....so far.
Sounds contradictory to me....what did they do to EARN the money they spent?
Then how about a honeymoon in Vegas? ... if they are really that down to earth. :)
Of course, I am ignoring the security costs, etc. etc. :)
That's cheaper than Air Force One's bill for one week of the smegma-lipped, chicken feathered Obamaloon.
Any way we could trade the loon for the royals. Heck, even the loony Charles is way, way more intelligent than our t*rd-in-chief.
A hell of a lot cheaper than one of moochelle's vacations.
Seriously, most of our ancestors left countries like England for this very reason.
We should try not to make light of it — many people suffered greatly under the Monarchies of Europe. And suffered even more to flee Europe and come to the US.
Why American is great, IMO — only the heartiest and most motivated people came to the US. And they valued freedom and made the best of it because they lived under tyranny.
Just my two cents...
No thanks, we already fought a war to get away from royalty
I detest these people.
Yup. We have our own "aristocracy."
That's about what Mooschelle spent on her last European vacation, isn't it?
Cheaper than keeping that old Royal Yacht in commission ...
If the private island has a daily "tariff" of $450,000 and the couple were there for ten days, isn't the total amount US$ 4.5 million?
0bama takes his wife to NYC for an anniversary dinner... at taxpayer expense...
The queen is worth an estimated $450 million plus she receives royalties from land holdings. Many of the wedding/honeymoon expenses come out of private funds and it was estimated that the wedding would bring $600 million dollars into the city of London via tourism, wedding related events and the like. The city provided security but it sounds like they made a profit.
It's GOOD to be the Future King!! Thank God America doesn't have Royalty that can spend hard earned taxpayer money on lavish vacations that aren't related to running our Gov't......Oh Wait...I forgot (Barry and Moochelle)..Nevermind...LOL!
Hmmmm, I think I'll go floss my teeth ;)
Eh, I don't detest their offspring and the women they marry. They didn't choose to be born into royalty and the fact they seem decent people despite it, makes me wish them well.
They do work, you know. Whose to say they paid for the honeymoon all themselves or at all? Her parents are successful and could've paid as a wedding gift.
You seem bitter they didn't come over for a Vegas wedding/honeymoon!
Thus the appellation "royal."
Good work if you can get it.
"Sounds contradictory to me....what did they do to EARN the money they spent?"
Compare them to the Obama family and their "simple" yet frequent vacations, and you might change your mind at whom you want to spit.
Their monarchy has their own money...our's doesn't.
I long for the day when the Obama's don't think themselves to be royalty, and treat the taxpayers as such.
It's their money. It turns out that the family is quite wealthy?
The Royal family get no tax money. They live off their property. The Civil List (when that was around) was payment in lieu of rents from the Crown Lands, not a grant.
Unfortunately, you are correct. Sad but true.
We are slowly losing the soul of this country... what made America great. There are still a few people who believe in individual responsibility, empowerment, self-sufficiency, and independence, though.
Barely enough to buy an adequate guest house...

The Sleepwalking Giant
Germany's Boring Election is Bad News For Europe
Germany has been dubbed Europe's most powerful country, the EU's "indispensable nation," but it would be hard to tell from its current election season. The country's leading politicians have been focused on such weighty matters as whether foreigners should be charged for the privilege of driving on German autobahns and how to calibrate pension rates for civil servants. In the eyes of critics inside and outside the country, the election battle has not only been boring -- it has also been deeply irresponsible, a willful repression of the important issues facing the country. The philosopher Jürgen Habermas, Germany's most eminent intellectual, has charged the elites with a "collective failure."
It is worth being more specific about what sort of failure this is. That the German public has been deprived of a debate about Chancellor Angela Merkel's leadership is not particularly tragic. By all accounts, her politics of muddling through are highly popular among Germans; even if Germans were presented with a starker alternative to her than Peer Steinbrück, the Social Democratic Party candidate, they would likely have gone with Merkel. The real failure is that, in Germany's first federal election since the outbreak of the eurocrisis in 2010, the fate of the European project has barely figured at all. By now, Europeans should have woken up to the fact of profound financial and political interdependence in the eurozone -- yet they still conduct elections as if they were entirely national affairs.

All Rise...
Judge Roman Martel is a reviewer at war with his couch and himself.
The Charge
What happens when you cram two civil war generals into one box set? I don't know, but I'm guessing it isn't going to be pretty.
The Case
The PBS series The American Experience has decided to tackle the Civl War head on with two documentaries about the two most famous generals: Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. Sounds like a grudge match made in heaven for all you Civl War buffs out there, but lets see if this set delivers.
Ulysses S. Grant: Warrior President is a two part series that covers everything you ever wanted to know about the man. Each part runs about two hours, so the series covers a lot of ground with plenty of detail to support main events.
The first part chronicles Grant's life from childhood up to the assassination of President Lincoln. It shows us how his family life, education at West Point and participation in the Mexican-American War helped forge him into a formidable general. Once we hit the Civil War, his key battles and campaigns are explored in some detail, giving us not only a clear idea of how he battled, but also of the events and consequences of his actions. The documentary is frank about his reputation as a drunkard and as a man who cared little for the costs of war. But it also does its best to use the context of the situations to explain those faults. Part One ends with Grant being the hero of the American Civil War and his future on the rise.
Part Two delves into his embroilment in politics and his presidency. Grant has often been called one of the worst Presidents of the United States, and while the documentary does cover his failures as well as his triumphs in office, it also attempts to provide background into why he made his more costly decisions. His straightforward view of life worked well with soldiers and during war time, but it was a liability when working in politics. Grant's fortunes rise and fall, and the documentary continues to the end of his life, as the former President wrote his memoirs while dying of throat cancer.
This two part series presents the man's life using interviews with historians and biographers, recreations, location filming, archival photos and newspaper clippings. We also get to see some classic political cartoons made during Grant's presidency, which are a real hoot. While the run time is intimidating, the information is thorough and presented so well that the time just flies. Grant does come across as a man who did his best during one of the most difficult times in American history. While it attempts to show a balanced view, it ends up very positive for him. Those looking for something a little more damning will be disappointed.
This production was made in 2002 and appears to be a repackage of the disc released in 2005. The image is letterboxed, so that may be a problem for some viewers. But the image is nice and clear. The stereo sound is functional. You also get an interview with the producers, as well as additional interviews with some of the experts from the documentary discussing Grant's character.
The documentary on Robert E. Lee has the subtitle "At War with His Country and Himself." It's an interesting concept.
The documentary begins with Lee's education at West Point. It establishes him a a man dedicated to the United States military and the discipline that went along with it. This education served as the foundation for the rest of his life, where his duty and honor were always at the forefront.
We spend some time with his home life, his marriage to Mary Custis and his heroics during the Mexican American war. But the meat of the documentary falls on his career as the Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. It follows Lee along his most famous battles and defeats. It does provide a fairly balanced portrait of the man. His honor and devotion to his duty are of the highest quality. His temper and elitist outlook are also discussed. All of these elements forged him into a formidable general.
The documentary uses a combination of interviews, archival photos, drawings, and location shooting to bring the story to life. There aren't any recreations or reenactments per se, but there are what appear to be drawings of the battles combined with the Hans Zimmer inspired score. Letters written by Lee are spoken by actor Chris Sarandon, and he does a fine job.
The issues that I had with the similar Jefferson documentary I reviewed appear here. We do get to hear from Lee, but not nearly enough. Some of his views are paraphrased from time to time, and I feel it would have been more effective to hear his words. The documentary also throws around dates and events without much explanation. It assumes that you are already familiar enough with the American Civil War to not need the background. With only 90 minutes of screen time, parts of Lee's life seem rushed through.
Also the element of the subtitle is never fully addressed. Lee never seemed to be at war with himself. He had some tough decisions to make, but once he made them he remained focused on his goals. His resignation from the United States Army prior to joining the Confederate military seemed to be his biggest internal conflict.
The end result is a bit of a wash. I did learn some things about Lee I never knew, but I didn't feel enough depth was given to his skills nor was there a clear understanding of how he fit into the political machine of the Confederacy. After watching the epic documentary on Grant, it seems like they shortchanged the Southern side.
This production was made in 2011 and provides a solid anamorphic 16:9 image. Some of the location shots look beautiful. The 5.1 is balanced well. There are no extras, which is always a shame on documentaries like this.
If you already own the documentary on Grant, there are no upgrades to recommend this newer version. But if you're looking for a passable documentary on Lee, this will work out fine. You get two documentaries for a good price, so I think it's a excellent buy for those interested in the subject or teachers looking for visual material on the war.
The Verdict
Not Guilty.

The music industry's old guard is trying to beat internet users into submission over copyright and downloads, while services like we7.com opt for the carrot approach. Now Spotify has gone social with Facebook, and it may just show the way ahead for monetising music downloads.

Social media for the terrified
Many companies are grappling now with their social media strategies — but others are downright scared, keen to put it all off. But singing the la-la-la song, fingers in ears, isn't a plan. A softly-softly approach can be a good way to get started.

APPSolutely fabulous: Top 10 dos and don'ts of getting your app to market
But while iPhone customers are catered for in spades, other technologies are largely being ignored — a wasted opportunity. The rush mentality is also leading to mistakes. The following top 10 top checklist can help guide your thinking about why you want to do an app in the first place (not just for some good PR!), what pitfalls to avoid, how to maximise your reach, and how to select the right partner.

Welcome back King Content
We're about to see a big shift towards the mobile web and walls come tumbling down.
Here's an interesting statistic. According to Vodafone, one in four of the mobiles it sold in the run-up to Christmas '09 was a smartphone… worldwide. That's a trend that's set to continue as people discover the benefits of being able to carry a piece of the web around in their pocket. It's taken a while for the momentum to pick up, but the growing popularity of these devices is a combination of lower handset costs, better mobile internet packages, rapidly improving handsets and, perhaps most critical of all, a change in the relationship we have with our network.

100-120mm fan motor
I see that arc has some good motors for a great price. NE word that they may make a larger version for the 100mm or 120mm fans?? Are there any manufactures working on a more cost effective motor to go up against neu. I love NEU and if priorities are right they are bought, but my EDF funds are also my heli funds so I gotta shop wise. Or hold out. Or go without. I was given an old school Yellow Aircraft f-16C kit to retrofit electric. Just looking for leads on new products. Will not go KB45XL! I am shure all motor manufacturers have there eyes in this forum and on this market, and yes we are waiting patiently.....
Check out the Scorpion 4035 HK series very strong motor I've pushed in bursts to 150 amp on S A123s Should be a good choice for anything up to the Byron 6". Hacker has some new motors for EDF - turbine series I believe they call them that should be interesting. I'm not sure how they will stack up against the Neu on price and for performance and quality Steve's hard to beat. Medusa has some new long can 36mm motors but they're probably a bit small still for the big fans. With all of the big helis now comes big, well cooled high(relatively) kV motors for our fans.
The problem I have is not the motor, we have at least a limited reasonably priced selection of motors now, what I need is a high voltage ESC that will take 200 amps and won't cause the wife the glare at me like Attila the Hun. These will be the next big challenge I think. When I was running up may fan pulling 150 + amps the deans ultra connectors got almost hot enough to melt the plastic. Handling that kind of power in an affordable way will take the best EEs around.
I will check the other motors out but I was thinking that if arc can make a 36mm fan motor that performs for 70 bucks than they could make a 45mm long can for $110 or $150. I know the 28-47-1 is a solid performer in a 70mm for like $60. The neu motor is $270. I think they are an american company and I believe he makes his in america. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think that is a great selling point especially with the quality. Maybe I'll just have to cough.
Isaw a 200HV somewhere it was off brand and I can't remember where, I was looking at hoobycity type stuff and saw it. I wish I could remnember it was like 300bucks. I have heard some people say they use electric bike controlers for real big shhstuff.

I was hired shortly before I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona, where I earned my B.S. in Computer Science. I became interested in computers when I was a kid, and took my first programming course in 7th grade. One of the rewarding, and fun experiences I have had over the years has been teaching, which I am hope to do again some day. In 2009, I earned an MBA with an emphasis on Information Systems from the University of Redlands.
As far as my personal life goes, I have many hobbies like Photography, Motorcycling, Cars, Tech Toys, collecting and building LEGO, and collecting Transformers (new and old).

AbstractThe proliferation of weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear missiles and dirty bombs are a serious threat in the world today. Preventing the spread of these nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years. Neutron detection is an important component of the overall detection techniques used in identifying SNMs. At present, there is a real need for a compact, efficient detection system that would allow neutron detection with an ability to discriminate gamma events from neutron events. Gamma discrimination is critical because gamma rays are common background in neutron detection environment during SNM monitoring. Also, the ability to provide neutron spectroscopy whereby information on the energy of neutrons is obtained is of importance for next generation detectors as well. Unfortunately, none of the available neutron detection technologies satisfy all of these requirements. Recent research at RMD has focused on investigation of novel plastic scintillators that can provide neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination capability. Our results show that these novel plastic scintillators have a relatively high light output (higher than BGO), a fast scintillation decay and exhibit good neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination. The goal of the proposed effort is to undertake a systematic investigation of these novel plastic scintillators in order to optimize and advance the fast-neutron detection technology. To achieve this goal, the first step will be to tune the compositions including the monomers and additives (also referred to as primary and secondary solvents) as well as the optical emitters. Polymerization conditions will be examined as well to produce high quality plastic scintillators. Subsequently, we will evaluate their scintillation properties. Fast-neutron spectroscopy and gamma-neutron PSD will be performed. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The proposed detector technology will be very promising for nuclear non-proliferation. It will also be applicable to neutron imaging systems, astronomy, non-destructive testing and medical imaging

It is impossible to disassociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based, the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind, and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.

The current paper describes the results of an experiment in which 200 students who varied in levels of trait perfectionism performed a laboratory task of varying levels of difficulty. Participants received either negative or positive performance feedback, independent of their actual level of performance. Analyses of pre-task and post-task measures of negative and positive affect showed that individuals with high self-oriented perfectionism experienced a general increase in negative affect after performing the task, and self-oriented perfectionists who received negative performance feedback were especially likely to report decreases in positive affect. Additional analyses showed that self-oriented perfectionists who received negative feedback responded with a cognitive orientation characterized by performance dissatisfaction, cognitive rumination, and irrational task importance. In contrast, there were relatively few significant differences involving other-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism. Collectively, our findings support the view that self-oriented perfectionism is a vulnerability factor involving negative cognitive and affective reactions following failure experiences that reflect poorly on the self.

Hyundai CEO Drops Interesting Prognosis About Car Sales
Speaking before the media at the launch of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster Turbo in San Diego, Krafcik was his normal upbeat self when talking about the Korean manufacturer's success so far in 2012.
Speaking before the media at the launch of the 2012 Hyundai Veloster Turbo in San Diego, Krafcik was his normal upbeat self when talking about the Korean manufacturer's success so far in 2012.
The 2012 Hyundai Veloster is getting a lot of attention these days for its unique new styling and innovative technology.
Normally, the term "walking dead" is probably not one that an automaker would want associated with their vehicles.
The 2013 Hyundai Elantra will be offered in two trimlines when it hits dealerships around the US later this month, the entry level GS and the sportier SE.
Hyunda's 2013 Equus is a tremendous automobile and is competitive with the world's best executive sedans.
The fun little Hyundai Elantra GT just got better with one more "best-in-class" added to its long list of bests.
Not long ago you could count on one hand the number of brands that offered satellite radio in all of the vehicles it built. Now you would be hard-pressed to find a model that does not offer it.
Hyundai Motor America has officially announced pricing for the 2013 Veloster and Veloster Turbo.
Hyundai Motor America has just released their May sales figures and they could not be more impressive.
Ever wonder why there are always a lot of Hyundais in the lots of many military bases and being driven around military towns?
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco, a midsize hybrid; 2012 Hyundai Azera, a large family car; and 2012 Toyota Prius c, a small hybrid, earn the Institute's top award for good performance in front, side,
The NHTSA opened this investigation after one owner complained that when his driver's side curtain airbag opened during an accident, it pulled with it a metal bracket that impacted the side of the
In a first ever test of its kind, Hyundai took their i30 hatchack (the Elantra GT here in the U.S.) into the Knowsley Safari Park in the UK for an incredible durability test.
Americans have not been big fans of soccer. That is the old refrain, but any parent of a child under the age of about 20 knows that soccer is taking over youth sports in America.
Hyundai Motor America Alabama's (HMMA) Montgomery factory that makes Sonatas and Elantras for the US market cannot keep up with demand.
Many people know the name Toyota Avalon. It is fair to say that the name Chevrolet Impala also has a familiar ring.

I have my backend in France and one of my frontend servers is in Japan. This issue doesn't happen with any other of my frontends, only this Japan server, which already has about 2s latency from most locations.
The latency isn't what's bothering me, it's timeout errors that occur on the frontend. I am certain this is not a backend problem since this only happens with the Japan server, and occurs when fetching static resources such as images, so it's not an issue with php-fpm, which I'm using.
I also get these errors sometimes:
upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream
It is not a memory or CPU issue either. nginx on the frontend is using 4 worker processes and
proxy_read_timeout is set to 150, even though changing it doesn't make a difference.
Is there any things you recommend I do to fix these errors?
