Wow - do not even think of questioning dear leader. COLB - CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH
Washington Times reports:
Jesse H. Merrell, who lives on Garfield Street Northwest, tells Inside the Beltway that a pair of deputy U.S. marshals paid him a visit last Friday after he had written a letter to U.S. District Court Judge James Robertson regarding President Obama's citizenship controversy.
Judge Robertson this month threw out a lawsuit questioning whether Mr. Obama was a native-born American citizen, and therefore qualified under the Constitution to be president.
The judge ruled that the eligibility question has been dragged through the mud long enough.
"The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered, and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama's two-year-campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court," Judge Robertson wrote when dismissing the case brought by Gregory Hollister, a retired Air Force colonel.
Mr. Merrell now reveals: "I was visited by two U.S. marshals ... after I had written a letter to Judge Robertson for his rant threatening sanctions over lawyers who filed a suit challenging Obama's right to be president over the 'natural born' citizen clause in the Constitution.
"I told them unless the First Amendment had been repealed, or they were going to arrest me, we had nothing to talk about."
Mr. Merrell says one of the marshals cited "some obscure law which made it illegal to say anything that caused 'emotional distress' to a federal judge."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Pitching coach Mickey Callaway's antenna was up. Danny Salazar had just made his first start since being recalled from Class AAA Columbus and Callaway saw something that he hadn't seen since last year.
From the outside looking in, there appeared to be little, if anything, special about Salazar's effort against the Twins on July 22. He allowed just one run on six hits, but couldn't get past the fifth inning because he'd wasted too many pitches walking the bases loaded in the second inning.
Callaway, however, said that if Salazar could keep pitching like that, and if Justin Masterson could get back on track, the Indians could make a serious run at the postseason over the last two months.
Masterson is a question without an answer right now. He just made his second rehab as he recovers from a sore right knee. He's scheduled to start against Texas on Friday.
Salazar, however, gave much more credence to Callaway's faith as he pitched seven innings in the 10-3 victory that prevented a four-game by the Royals.
"I felt great," said Salazar. "It was hot and that helps a little bit. You're going to stay warm the whole time."
Salazar, showing good velocity, gave up runs in the second and third innings as Kansas City took a 2-0 lead. Salazar, however, didn't let the game get away from him.
"Early on he made some adjustments," said manager Terry Francona, "Kansas City had to earn everything. After they scored the two runs early, he didn't let anything happen after that. He gave our offense a chance to go to work."
The seven innings matched Salazar's longest start of the year and the first time he didn't walk a batter.
Catcher Yan Gomes DH'd Sunday, but he's caught Salazar plenty of times.
"Give Salazar credit," said Gomes. "He shut that lineup down. That's something we really needed.
"It's fun to see him coming back like that. At the beginning of the season we were all super excited about what he could do after last season. It's honestly a good thing that he hit a little bit of a speed bump early on."
Salazar opened the season with the Indians, but was optioned to Class AAA Columbus after a May 15 started against Toronto. He stayed there until his start against the Twins.
"He's learned and now he's coming back to do what we need him to do," said Gomes. "It's exciting."

Lady Jean Gordon, Countess of Bothwell, 1544 - 1629. First wife of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell 1566
On Display PORTRAIT GALLERY
- Scottish Art
Lady Jean Gordon was born at Huntly Castle, Aberdeenshire. This miniature, the size of a large coin, forms a pair to that of her husband, James Hepburn, Earl of Bothwell, and is dated 1566, the year of their marriage. This was a political alliance, encouraged by Mary, Queen of Scots and urged on by Lady Jean Gordon's family, but it was not to last. Within weeks of Lord Darnley's murder in February 1567, Bothwell had the marriage annulled and contrived to marry his recently widowed Queen. From then on, his fortunes dramatically declined while his ex-wife enjoyed a long life, eventually being united with her first love, Alexander Ogilvie, in her mid-fifties.

HUNTSVILLE, AL. - A dangerous situation exists on the newly widened section of Little Cove Road because of poor or nonexistent striping and the lack of reflectors, according to several residents.
Anne Jagger asked when reflectors would be installed in the center of the road and white stripes on the edge of the asphalt. She said visibility is virtually nonexistent when driving in the rain.
"It's quite treacherous," she said.
Joe Viviano and Bill Klus expressed similar sentiments in separate e-mails.
"There is no shoulder striping and the center yellow divisor lines are very confusing; sometimes there are two sets when there is no turn situation involved," Viviano said. "The striping is non-reflective paint, which becomes invisible when it rains, and there are no reflectors, unlike the older part of the bypass. At night, when it rains, all the striping disappears - creating a very dangerous situation."
Klus said that he and his wife, Claudia, drove the new road in the rain and with no moonlight on Thanksgiving night.
He said it was impossible at times to see the yellow center lines separating them from oncoming traffic and that there are no lines on the edge of the asphalt.
"As a result," Klus said, "we found ourselves feeling very unsafe that we might be straying to the wrong side of the road or off the shoulder of the road."
The road, which was widened to three lanes from Quarter Lane to Old Cove Place near the Flint River, reopened in September.
Joe Eckardt, area manager for Angeloe Iafrate Construction, said Thursday that the company hopes to install the permanent striping soon.
The final striping, which will be a reflective thermoplastic, had to wait for the asphalt to cure followed by uncooperative weather, he said.
The company did paint more than 60 turn arrows on the road Wednesday to help the situation, he said.
Installing reflectors is not in the $6.56 million contract that the city awarded the company, he said.
Bailey Cove signs
Something needs to be done about the temporary signs and the covers placed over several of them on Bailey Cove Road between Green Cove and Weatherly roads, reader Russ Walls said.
The signs warning motorists about road work ahead were installed last fall when the city used federal stimulus package money to repave Bailey Cove Road.
Walls said the signs were not removed after the work ended, and that black plastic bags covering some of the signs are torn and are falling off.
Terry Hatfield, director of the city's Public Works Services Department, said the city is waiting for the state Department of Transportation to perform the final inspection on the project.
The signs will be removed after the inspection, he said. In the meantime, Hatfield said Thursday, his department will contact the project contractor to recover the signs where the plastic has been damaged.
California pothole
Missing asphalt at a California Street manhole has created a type of "pothole" that George Harsh says he's never seen.
The spot where the asphalt is missing is in front of a manhole cover northbound on California Street just north of Governors Drive, he said.
Harsh said in an e-mail that the "hazard is almost between the two lanes, as it's a significant jolt if you drift to the right just a little while in the inside lane."
Hatfield said Thursday that the department would replace the missing asphalt Thursday or today.

Education leaders speaking at the Essence Festival on Saturday said communities and families have to ingrain education as a top priority and a guiding value to improve children's prospects for success, particularly among African-Americans.
Steve Perry, founder of the much lauded Capital Preparatory Magnet School in Hartford, Conn., cable television news education commentator, Essence magazine columnist, author, and host of "Save My Son" on TV One, said when students appear at his school shabbily dressed, it indicates a lack of respect for learning.
"As a community this is a self-esteem problem," Perry said. "We have to take pride in education."
"Every time a father leaves," a family, he said, "it takes a very big part of that young person's self-esteem."
He addressed attitudes that affect the way children regard their schooling.
"Do not allow your own limitations or your own insecurities to inhibit your child's ability," Perry said to parents, urging them not to pass down the struggles they might have had with different academic subjects. "Our creator made all children beautiful and capable."
"Poverty is not an obstacle to your child's ability to learn," he said.
"The problem is us," he said.
The empowerment panel at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, called "Where Smart Starts," also included Michael Lomax, former president of Dillard University in New Orleans and current president of the UNCF minority college scholarship organization, Thelma Baxter, retired schools superintendent in Harlem, principal credited with turning around a high school in the Bronx and school reform consultant and Karen Harper Royal, a New Orleans education advocate. Melissa Harris-Perry, Tulane University professor and MSNBC television host, moderated the discussion.
Some of the panelists argued for longer school days and school years as one manifestation of a greater societal emphasis on education.
"Our parents have to work all summer long," Lomax said. "They don't get summer off."
Baxter said she discovered while traveling abroad that other countries impose more class time, including school sessions on Saturdays.
"You can't teach everything in six hours," she said. "That's ridiculous."
Perry also said he favors school choice. Some students benefit most from an arts themed campus while others thrive in a science program, he said. He called it absurd to send children automatically to the schools nearest their homes as the traditional model mandated.
"We go to the college, to the restaurant and the hospital that is right for us," he said. "School should be the same way."
Citing a wide swath of low-scoring charter schools in the choice-driven education system of New Orleans, however, Royal said giving parents options to move must not be an excuse to avoid focusing on improving every campus.
"What I believe is that we have to make every school better," agreed Baxter.
Lomax said another sign of community apathy toward education appears on election days.
"The one race that nobody ever votes on are the people who are elected to the school board," Lomax said. He said it's urgent to oust bad board members.
While he agreed individuals and communities must take responsibility for making education a priority, he said existing systems also create barriers and need to be changed.
"One of the things that is broken for our parents in this room is that the financial aid system doesn't work for them," he said, leaving people overlooked if their incomes are too low to afford college but too high to qualify for some kinds of aid.
Lomax called on President Barack Obama to address problems with college financial aid.

Security forces clashed with followers of a growing underground Protestant movement that was blocked from moving into a new meeting hall near Beijing, leading to three weeks of confrontation with the communist authorities.
Worshippers from the Shouwang, or "watch tower", church were taken away in buses, some defiantly singing hymns. Church leaders had issued a "fire and brimstone" cry for the congregation to worship outside the building even if it meant arrest and prosecution.
Up to 500 members of the Protestant house church movement, unregistered assemblies of worshippers that the government bans to prevent the rise of opposition, have been detained in recent weeks. Yesterday's arrests were a continuation of the authorities' increase in repression of dissenters to stop any chance of a revolution such as those seen in North Africa and the Middle-East.
"Between 20 and 30 followers were taken away," said Pastor Jin by telephone from his home, where he has been under house arrest for the past two weeks.
Christians are free to worship in China if they register with the state-approved churches, but millions of evangelical Protestants refuse to submit to government control. Estimates put the number of underground Christians at 40 million, with some claiming there are as many as 80 million. Shouwang church was founded in a flat in 1993 but now has 1,500 members. It claims to have been blocked from taking possession of a £2.5 million building it bought in 2009.

NEW YORK -- Consumer Reports is urging readers not to buy the Lexus GX460, saying the SUV carries an unusually high risk of a rollover accident during certain types of turns.
In the latest blow to Toyota's reputation, the magazine says in handling tests, the seven-seat SUV slid until it was nearly sideways before the electronic stability control system regained control.
It says this could lead to a rollover accident in real-world driving and has given the GX460 a rare "Don't Buy: Safety Risk" label until the problem is fixed.
The magazine says among 95 SUVs tested, no other SUV slid as far as the GX460.
Toyota has sold about 5,000 GX460s in the three months since it went on sale. It is not covered by Toyota's faulty gas-pedal recalls.

Had a BAS with salmon and olive oil for lunch, macadamia nuts for a snack and Brussels sprouts and ground beef for dinner.
Ran 3 miles with my running buddy today.
Background: 49 years old, married, two grown kids, plus one beautiful granddaughter and one very spoiled dog who is my running partner.
I probably should have started this when I started on PB, which is Feb. 10, this year. I had been slowly transitioning to PB subconsciously and unintentionally, just by eating better. My eating was mostly good according to SAD standards, but I knew I could do better. Started by eating more fruits and vegetables, and gradually cutting back on grains. I'm not overweight but wanted to eat better. Went full on PB on Feb.10, 2013.
I've been a runner for about eight years now. I've done quite a few half-marathons and shorter distance races. I should probably mention that I participate, not race. I never have been and never will be fast. That's okay, I just like getting out there, and my four-legged running buddy loves it too!
Two days after I started eating Primal, Feb. 12, I get a phone call my dad was in a near-fatal car wreck in AZ. So I bugged out the next morning, figuring I'd do what I could while I was gone, and not expecting to do very well. I was surprised that I did very well for the whole six weeks I was gone. Probably the worst thing I ate was a Subway salad. I was fortunate that the hospital had a great salad bar with all kinds of good stuff. I realize the contents were processed, but you do what you can when your dad is in ICU. For fitness, I managed three 3-mile runs a week, plus some core work and upper body. That and walking around the hospital and up and down stairs when I needed a break. So I wasn't totally out of shape when I got back, but wasn't exactly "in shape".
BTW - dad is doing very well. His recovery is slow, but he's getting there.
Got back to have one of my running buddies talk me into doing a half marathon on June 1. I hadn't planned on any longer distance races, but I couldn't resist.
So I'm ramping up my running (14 miles last week with a 5 mile long run). We'll see how it goes. I've had some achilles tendonitis and posterior tibial tendonitis issues in the past. But I think its getting better. Could it be because of the fat I eat now, versus the SAD low fat? I think so.
I'm back to lifting weights 2x a week and have added planks and pushups. I need to see about working on pull ups or the precursor to pullups.
I know PB is against Chronic Cardio, but I'm a runner and don't think I'll be able to give it up completely. I'm all for backing off the miles after my race and upping the weights.
I've lost about three or four pounds in the 60 days I've been primal. The best part is that I'm getting leaner. I feel great and have had a lot of people remark I look thinner.
I love the way I feel, and that I'm not a slave to food anymore, having to eat every couple of hours. It will be very interestiing to see the results of my next cholesterol test. I'll get my blood drawn in the next couple of days. My mom was very concerned with my cholesterol with my eating, on average, 3 eggs a day.
So that's my story in a nutshell. I don't know what to expect in being Primal and training for a half marathon. In my other HMs, I used Honey Stinger Chews for fuel/energy. I'm not sure what I'll do now and if I'll need anything during a race or long run.
Today's eats:
Breakfast: Black coffee plus 3 hard boiled eggs and sardines in olive oil

Hi! Welcome! I'm glad you are doing well and your dad too.
Mark is now saying that chronic cardio is mainly a state of mind. Running on a treadmill like a rat in a cage every day is chronic cardio. Having fun out there with a human or canine buddy, participating not racing, is not chronic cardio. Mark would also say that it is extra important to avoid inflammation in your diet and get plenty of rest. Good luck!

Thanks, Hedonist!
Had my blood drawn for lipids today. I'm anxious to see the results.
Did leg strength and core/abs this morning. Hopefully, I'll get a walk in on my lunch break.
Breakfast will be fried eggs and leftover ground beef, whenever I decide I'm hungry. Drinking black coffee now.
Well, I did get a walk in on my lunch break. It was good to get out of the office.
Had a salad (spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, salmon and olive oil) for lunch yesterday, macadamia nuts for a snack and salmon, mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) and some sweet potato for dinner. Decided to add some carbs at dinner since I was going to run in the morning.
Ran 5 miles with my pup this morning. I do think adding some carbs the night before was a good idea. I had a little bit of one of my smoothies (one cup mixed fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries), whey protein powder and coconut milk) after my run. I'll have the rest for breakfast. And of course, drank my black coffee on the way to work.
Still figuring out the running and carbs thing. The real test will be when I run longer to see if I care about anything during the run. I don't think I will, but I'll probably take some nuts and dried fruit or something along until I figure it out.
I forgot to mention before, but I've been running in my Luna Sandals. This morning was a road run, so I used my Luna originals with ATS laces, and a pair of smartwool toe socks (temp was in the 30s). I think the new version is called Venado. I love Luna sandals for running!
Hi and welcome
I just started back on the forums here and started a new journal too. It's good to see another 40-something ... although you are miles ahead of me (literally!) in the exercise dept!! I think the main thing about carbs is to find the sweet spot where you feel good and energetic and you'll just need to experiment ...
Don't stress to much about your cholesterol - it's not the big thing that doctors and big pharma make it out to be. Check out the health forum for a couple of good threads (Griff's ultimate guide has a formula that is much better than what doctors do).
Thanks, Mikki.
I'm not stressed about my cholesterol numbers so much as I'm anxious to be able to show the numbers to the naysayers in my family. I've read a lot about cholesterol and how it all works so I'm not worried.
As far as my being ahead of you in exercise, keep in mind that my kids are grown and gone and I haven't been working towards a Ph.D. Congrats on that BTW!
Yesterday I ran the Beat Coach Pete 5k. Its a fun run put on to raise scholarship funds at BSU. For those that don't know, Coach Pete is the BSU football coach. Anyway, it was very crowded, but managed to meet up with some folks from work. It was in the 40s and pretty breezy, but at least the rain had stopped. I didn't eat before I went, but drank my coffee (black) on the way. About 45 minutes before the start, I decided I was hungry so I ate a hard boiled egg. We had a 9:30 start. Had to dodge around a lot of folks but it eventually opened up. I didn't beat Pete because I'm slow, but I had a good time, which is always the most important. I drank one of my smoothies when I was done.
Ended up going to the Co-op and Costco (they had Kerrygold butter and coconut oil!) afterward and I got to see my daughter and granddaughter. Bonus!
Munched on 2 more hard boiled eggs later plus some sardines. Macadamia nuts for a snack. Dinner was steak on the grill and mixed veggies.
It was a great day and nice dinner with DH.

Not only has my eating gone primal, my transition to hippie has made progress. I just finished making my own deodorant and toothpaste.
Here are my lipid numbers:
2013 (Primal)
Total: 269
Tri: 25
Chol/HDL ratio: 3.1
Total: 228
Tri: 46
Chol/HDL ratio: 3.0
When I first saw the numbers, I freaked a little. I think I was still thinking about CW regarding cholesterol/lipids. But using the Iranian equation, and the information found at http://www.yourmedicaldetective.com/public/523.cfm, it makes a lot of sense.
HDL/total cholesterol ratio: Mine is 0.33
0.24 or higher is considered ideal
under 0.24 - low
less than 0.10 - very dangerous
Triglyceride/HDL ratio: Mine is 0.28
2 or less is considered ideal
4 - high
6 - much too high

GRAND RAPIDS – Is arts criticism important?
Yes, no, and it depends.
Several observers of the Grand Rapids arts scene, including me, offered some thoughts on the subject last week.
The Arts Council of Greater Grand Rapids, together with Art Peers and Dwelling Place, sponsored a panel discussion last week titled "Critical Reality: Why is Arts Criticism Important?"
Caroline Older, executive director of the Arts Council, said afterward she was pleased with how the event last Thursday turned out.
"I could not have been more pleased to see an audience of 60-plus artists and arts enthusiasts listening intently," she said afterward.
Besides myself, participants in the 90 minute discussion included Elizabeth Goddard, director of education at Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts; Ritsu Katsumata, performance artist; Paul Wittenbraker, professor of art at Grand Valley State University; and Kevin Buist, director of artist relations for ArtPrize.
Collectively, we covered a lot of territory from the challenges of engaging in criticism, to the quantity and quality of the Grand Rapids' art community.
Goddard wrote a follow up essay, "Art Criticism: An Afterthought," online in The Rapidian.
No need to cover the highlights. If you're interested, check out the discussion. courtesy of Community Media Center, which recorded the discussion.

He gave metal a chance on "American Idol," now he'll try his hand at marriage.
James Durbin, the 22-year-old California rocker who was eliminated from the Fox singing competition Thursday night, told USA Today Friday that he would now turn his attention to marrying Heidi, his longtime girlfriend and the mother of his toddler son.
In other interviews, Durbin said he was blindsided by his elimination but that he was pleased with his performances.
The competition continues next Wednesday night for the remaining three singers: Georgia girl Lauren Alaina, North Carolina dude Scotty McCreery and Illinois lady Haley Reinhart.
Durbin didn't say whether he'd tie the knot before embarking on this summer's "American Idol Live" concert tour, which stops at the UNO Lakefront Arena on July 22. Tickets for the local show went on sale today (May 13).
The tour will feature Alaina, Durbin, McCreery, Reinhart and seven others who make up the top 11 competitors: Case Abrams, Jacob Lusk, Naima Adedapo, Paul McDonald, Pia Toscano, Stefano Langone and Thia Megia.

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs wanted to make one thing clear to fantasy football fans this afternoon: the only owners and general manager he owes anything to are the Mara and Tisch families and Jerry Reese.
Jacobs revealed on Tuesday morning that he had received a death threat on twitter from a disgruntled fantasy team owner in which he was told he had to rush for at least 50 yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings or harm would come to him and his family.
That fantasy fan later apologized on twitter and said he was joking. But the damage had been done.
"It's just a kid being dumb," Jacobs said this afternoon. "You say something like that and you think it's a joke. It's a good thing he was where he was at that time."
Jacobs said he understands that many fans enjoy fantasy football. He said those who don't keep it in perspective are causing many players to disconnect with fans because that's all they want to talk about.
"Huge problem, huge problem," he said. "Fantasy football is something that fans can use to connect themselves to us as players but some fans take it too serious.
"For the people who understand us and know what we go through everyday and know that fantasy is just fun for them, it's cool. To the people who take it too seriously, us as football players, we don't owe you nothing.
"It's up to you to manage your team the way you want. The only owners and general managers I owe anything to are the Mara and Tisch families and Jerry Reese. Everybody else, I don't concern myself with."

Perhaps the best way to begin a discussion of the Fiscal Year 2012 state budget is to put it this way – look at everything problematic with the current FY 2011 budget and then make it $500 million worse.
But that's still missing the point to a degree.
Let's try this explanation – even with federal stimulus funds, Mississippi's FY 2010 budget was cut an average 9.5 percent. The FY 2011 budget was crafted to be at a level that averages 13.5 percent below 2010 appropriations.
As the 2009 federal stimulus funds expire, the FY 2012 budget that lawmakers are now contemplating is projected to be from 20 percent to 23 percent below the 2010 appropriations.
Mississippi is firing or furloughing state employees under the FY 2010 and FY 2011 budgets.
Imagine the impact of an FY 2012 state budget with an additional 10 percent taken off the top essentially across the board.
In other words, Mississippi is contemplating budget cuts the depths of which have not been seen in modern times. Without the federal stimulus funds, the FY 2012 budget gap would be far deeper after even more disastrous budget cuts for the two prior fiscal years.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee is scheduled to begin an abbreviated schedule of budget hearings on Sept. 20 and conclude them on Sept. 23. That schedule reflects the fact that lawmakers are in no mood to repeat last year's rather ridiculous hearings in which state agency heads asked for more than $1 billion in increased funding over the previous fiscal year's budget.
Gov. Haley Barbour cut spending five times in 2010 in order to comply with the state's constitutional mandate to balance the budget.
Mississippi endured a $363 million budget deficit for FY 2009, $480 million budget deficit for FY 2010, with an estimated revenue shortfall of $544 million for FY 2011. That pattern could be changed by State Tax Commission reports that overall tax collections in August were more than $12.4 million, or 3.9 percent, ahead of projections. For the first two months of the FY 2011 – July and August – collections were $19.1 million ahead, or 3.6 percent.
Congress adopted an additional federal stimulus package that will inject new federal dollars into Medicaid and public education as part of the recent $26.1 billion bill passed by Congress. That funding will allow lawmakers to "push forward" a portion of the $98 million in education funding and will shore up Medicaid in the short term.
But Barbour and key state legislative leaders agree on one thing – Mississippi has not faced a budget crisis like that which looms since the Great Depression.
That challenge comes at a time when the Legislature is gearing up for both legislative redistricting and the 2011 general election. No matter how bad the state's fiscal crisis becomes or the extent to which essential services are cut, the political reality is that new tax proposals will be dead-on-arrival.
The kicker is that if legislative redistricting breaks down and becomes mired in federal litigation – which in Mississippi is predictable if not a political certainty – then lawmakers face the prospects of back-to-back elections in 2011 and 2012. The state's rainy day fund is being spent down at an alarming rate. The state's "inviolate" tobacco trust fund has been violated to the point of near extinction and there are really no other pots of cash left to raid beyond those sources.
The result: State services will be reduced significantly. Those seeking less government will get it in spades.
Be careful, as they say, what you wish for – you just might get it.

Squadron returns to Whidbey after adventurous deployment
Whidbey Island Air Station welcomes home the Electronic Attack Squadron 139 "Cougars" this afternoon.
Three major worldwide operations kept the VAQ-139 "Cougars" in the forefront of news since their departure in February 2011, according to a Navy news release. Finally, after seven months aboard aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), the EA-6B Prowler squadron of about 200 personnel is returning to NAS Whidbey Island.
In March when the devastating tsunami hit Japan after a 9.0 earthquake of the Japanese coast, the aircraft carrier responded as part of Operation Tomodachi. VAQ-139 sailors created watch schedules that brought shipments of humanitarian aid from the USS Reagan to relief sites along Japan's devastated coast.
The squadron was constantly unloading helicopters and C-2 aircraft for the moving of supplies to support the humanitarian relief effort. Crews on the flight deck and hangar bay worked tirelessly to unload new cargo, organize, stage and load new shipments of food, water and medical supplies. Squadron aircrew maintained a constant watch in the Carrier Intelligence Center, coordinating helicopter deliveries of food, water and medical equipment. The carrier's efforts were recognized by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, U.S. Ambassador to Japan John V. Roos and many Japanese diplomats.
VAQ-139 also supported Operations New Dawn and Enduring Freedom, flying 125 and 430 combat hours, respectively. Squadron Electronic Countermeasures Officers joined with Marine Tactical Electronic Attack Squadron 4 in Afghanistan to fly combat missions as both squadrons operate the Improved Capability III (ICAP) Block 4 in the EA-6B.
Surprisingly, there was time for the Cougars to relax with liberty port visits to Sasebo, Japan; Phuket, Thailand; Manama, Bahrain; Hong Kong, China; Naval Base Marianas, Guam; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
This was VAQ-139's last deployment in the EA-6B ICAP III as they will start transition to the EA-18G Growler with VAQ-129, Fleet Replacement Squadron, shortly.
Returning with the squadron are 18 members of the Sea Operational Detachment from Fleet Readiness Center Northwest that provide technical support to keep the jets in top condition.
The fly-in of jets is set to occur today about 4 p.m., while the airlift of maintenance and support personnel will take place early Thursday afternoon.

Elizabeth Warren – I was the first woman in the world to suckle my child at the bar.
Filed under Uncategorized
"my child at the bar," i've never heard it referred to as that before.
Milk Bar…i've motor boated there often
How on EARTH could she possibly know??
Frankly, Chris; I am quite happy for this idiot to keep on digging and digging and digging…….🙂
The end of free speech? Pastor sentenced to prison for suggesting you do to your children what is legal for teacher to do to your children at school in many states:
Pastor Sentenced To 2 Years In Prison For Teaching That Parents Should Spank Their Children
Do you believe that parents should be able to spank their children? Do you ever express that opinion to others? If so, then you could be sent to prison. Sadly, that is exactly what happened to one pastor up in Wisconsin recently. A minister named Philip Caminiti was sentenced to 2 years in prison for simply teaching that parents should spank their children when they misbehave. Please note that Caminiti was not accused of spanking anyone or of physically hurting anyone. He was put in prison simply for his speech. He was put in prison simply for what he was teaching others to do. Whether you agree with spanking or not, this should be incredibly sobering for all of us. Increasingly, speech is being penalized in the United States. Much of the time, the focus of the attacks by the forces of political correctness is on religious speech. If this trend continues, many of you that are reading this article might be put in jail for the things that you say in the coming years…..
When's someone going to do Ms. Warren a favor and arrest her mouth?
Dude –
Here are some other little known facts about Liawatha:
The character "Wonder Woman" is based on her.
She was childhood friends with Anne Frank, and actually wrote many of the diary entries attributed to Anne. Anne's cousin, Barney Frank, can validate this.
She climbed Mt. Everest when she was only 12 years old, and did it in the nude!!
She suffers from bad flatulence, but tries to hide it by constantly sticking her head up her ass.
She is blind, which prevents her from seeing what an ass she is.
The best part? The morons from Massachusetts are going to elect her, so we have six years of comedy gold.
Your Pal,
Oh Nooooo!!!
Wed, 2012-05-30 13:35 MoveOn, a giant in the progressive political world and an early endorser of Barack Obama in 2008, warns that it might have to "pull the plug" on key campaigns to help Obama and Senate Democrats if its five million members don't pony up with at least $5.
Without a rush of new cash, MoveOn says it will have to give up efforts to elect Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts, help the recall fight against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and energize younger voters who've soured on Washington….
Where's George Soros when you need him; pay up you bums or what will Elizabeth do???
Hey, if Al Gore invented the internet, anything is possible for liberals. Truth has this strange plastic, contextual and adaptive nature in their world.
Richard – Al Gore stole the idea for the internet from her.
