Tidus stood with his back against a support column, watching the activity of the Helghast war machine around him with half-interest. His mind drifted away from the battle he had just partaken in, the beginning of the campaign to seize the ISA spaceport on this nameless atoll, to his family. Not his father, overzealous bastard, but to his brother Aldric. He had received word from his mother that his sibling had completed training and would be arriving on Vekta in the next couple weeks.
A squadron of jet-bikes passing overhead brought Tidus back to the present, just noticing the soldier standing in front of him. The man radiated the eagerness of a soldier fresh from mobilization, both in the way he carried himself and the lack of attention to his uniform. He sighed: more recruits had been executed for uniform violations than he could remember.
"I'm Private Salek," the soldier said, tossing in a salute after remembering he was speaking to a superior officer. "Colonel Damon, I've been assigned to your unit."
"First of all," Tidus began, "I'm Lieutenant Colonel Damon, Colonel Damon is my father. Second, you should spend less time hurrying about and more time on your uniform." Tidus motioned to Salek's tangled mess of respirator tubes. "My father has been known to execute fresh meat for even the simplest violations." Private Salek stammered his apology and fixed his hoses, patting dust from his uniform.
"T-thank you, sir."
"Don't mention it." Tidus said, waving the private away. "You'll find my father in the command center; he'll assign you to a squad." Salek saluted and scurried off, Tidus' mind drifting away once again.
"Why the hell did I join the army?" he asked himself.
"Because you didn't have a choice." A part of him answered. He chuckled lightly and strode back to his quarters.
"God I hate war."
His father was waiting impatiently in his quarters. Tidus passed by Colonel Damon and tossed himself in the room's only chair and propped his feet up on his cot.
"Yes father?' he asked, putting his arms behind his head.
"Where the hell have you been? I told you there was a command meeting at 1400 hours!" his father yelled.
"Must have slipped my mind," Tidus said, glad his respirator hid his scowl. He despised those droll meetings, a group of old windbags arguing over the best way to charge the enemy. Tidus had hoped his father would have attended without him. He wasn't so lucky.
"Don't play stupid with me," Colonel Damon said, knocking his feet to the floor. "Let's go Lieutenant Colonel."
Tidus stood up and saluted.
"Yes sir."
Tidus entered the command center behind his father, taking up his all-important position of standing in the corner and looking presentable. As the meeting dragged on Tidus found it harder and harder to concentrate, his mind once again beginning to wander. He imagined what life would be life if his father wasn't a fascist bastard, if he hadn't been in the military, if he had hair. Then in the corner of his mind, he heard a voice call.
"Lieutenant Colonel Damon."
"Lieutenant Colonel Damon." There it was again.
"Lieutenant Colonel Damon!"
"Sir!" he yelled, saluting no one in particular. The room was silent, all eyes on him. He could feel his father's eyes boring into him from behind his goggles.
"You've met the new recruit?" a brigadier general asked.
"Y-yes sir." He stuttered, saluting a second time.
"Very good," the general said, "but make sure not to nod off next time."
Tidus nodded shallowly as the whole room descended into laughter.
The Lieutenant Colonel staggered and fought the urge to hold his face. His father's voice shook, accenting each word with a slap to his face.
Colonel Damon backhanded him a final time and went to his foot locker, drawing out a velvet pouch. He pulled out a bottle of amber liquid and poured a glass. His father downed the whiskey and sighed.
"Put your mask back on." His father grunted.
"Yes fa…sir."
Tidus put his breather mask on gingerly, the cold plastic irritating his burning skin.
"Get out of here," his father began, "we're mobilizing in two hours."
"Yes Colonel Damon." Tidus said, saluting his father and striding out of the room.
The sounds of battle echoed throughout the desolated building. Distant thuds of far-away artillery shook dust from the walls which settled like snow on the Helghast inside. Tidus wiped the gray dust from his goggles and looked back through the scope of his rifle. The streets below were in chaos. Soldiers from both sides darted around piles of wreckage like rats, dodging both the enemy rounds and the shells that had turned the settlement into a hell storm. He sighted a group of ISA riflemen as they crept down an alleyway across the street and considered firing on them. He decided against it; it would only give away his position. Then there would be enough explosives falling on their heads to dig a well.
"Yes sir, we're on it."
Tidus turned, his father stepping into the room. Several of the newer men stood and saluted. Tidus stayed where he was and rubbed his face through his mask.
"We've been ordered to take out an artillery position a few clicks from here, let's go." His father barked. There was a clamor of affirmatives from the soldiers as the prepared to move. Tidus began to pack his own things when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Make me proud, son. You take point." Colonel Damon said.
"Yes father." He replied, motioning the squad to follow him out into the maelstrom below.
Tidus hit the ground as bullets impacted the concrete behind him. He brought his rifle to his face and fired, catching the ISA soldier in the chest. Plumes of crimson erupted from the wounds and the man fell face first to the ground, blood oozing out from under his body armor.
"Move!" Tidus yelled, pushing himself off the ground and plunged into the thick smoke ahead, ordering the men to do the same. He paused and glanced around. All he could see were shadowy figures rushing this way and that. Tidus steeled himself and rushed in the direction he believed their objective was.
"All units forward!" he head his father's voice over the comm.
"Bastard," Tidus though, "he's probably hiding right now." He believed he was halfway through the smokescreen when a figure stepped in front of him. Tidus paused, unsure whether in was friend or foe. But this man was too short, too slim to be Helghast. He crouched and drew his combat knife, slinking up behind the man. Tidus stood and thrust upwards, feeling the blade pierce the soft skin under the man's ribcage. He covered his prey's mouth with a gloved hand, waiting until the man's muffled screams subsided and set his limp body on the broken ground. He withdrew his blade and cleaned it on the man's uniform before sheathing it and standing upright. As he sprinted on his thoughts drifted back to the man he had just killed. He almost felt sorry for the enemy soldier, surely he had been just as disoriented in this smoke as he was. Tidus shook the thoughts from his head and rushed out of the smoke…
…and right into the sights of an ISA machine gunner. Tidus swore and dove behind a piece of rubble as the nest opened fire. The heavy-caliber rounds tore into the concrete, exposing the rebar beneath. Tidus covered his head with his arms and balled up in an attempt to present a smaller target. Bullets impacted the ground around him, tossing chunks of concrete into the air. Just as he thought he was going to die, a group of voices shouted over the comm-net.
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
He looked up, spotting his father and several others pressed against a wall some ten meters away. They beckoned to him; Tidus could see Salek waving his arms like a madman.
"Come on sir…run!" he yelled.
Tidus grit his teeth, drawing every ounce of courage present in his body, readied himself, and sprinted for the safety of the sagging wall.
That two meter run felt like the longest sprint of Tidus' life. His lungs worked like bellows, the beating of his heart drowning out all noise. He could feel rounds slamming into the ground at his heels, but the Vektan gunner had yet to hit him, and the wall grew ever closer. It seemed like the entire event crept by in slow motion, like something right out of a war film. Then Tidus tripped, and the world came slamming back into focus. Cold fear gripped him as he hit the ground and he imagined the gunner's bullets creep closer. He rolled away from his approaching death, feeling a quartet of hands pull him behind cover.
Tidus thanked the soldiers who saved him and dusted himself off. He looked everyone over and sighed. They had started this operation with twenty-five soldiers. He could count the remaining men on two hands. Colonel Damon put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm glad you're all right, son."
Tidus stared, dumbfounded, at the man who had slapped the shit out of him hours before.
"T-thank you, father." He stuttered.
His father nodded, gathering the contingent of men around him.
"General Fraer is sending more men, but we need to take that nest before they get here."
Tidus swallowed hard. He knew the others were thinking the same thing, even if they didn't show it. No one wanted to charge that nest. He felt extremely sorry for Private Salek. He could see the soldier quivering. His father lined the men up against the sagging wall and pumped his fist downward. Each soldier pulled a grenade from his belt, pulled the pin, and lobbed it over the wall. The explosives burst, coating the battlefield once again in thick, gray smoke. Soon the machine gun fell silent and an eerie silence descended upon the soldiers. Colonel Damon peeked around the corner into the blinding haze and turned back to the men.
"You, lead the charge," he said, pointing at Salek.
"Sir?" Salek stammered, his knees visibly shaking now. Tidus' father looked at the private as though he had been struck.
"Are you deaf? Lead the charge!" Colonel Damon's voice rose. Salek's breathing intensified. He looked from solder to soldier, drawing no support from the emotionless masks and cold goggles. The private then glanced at Tidus, but the Lieutenant Colonel looked away. Salek tightened his grip on his rifle and shook his head, sobbing.
"I'm sorry. I can't do it."
Colonel Damon grabbed the man and slammed him against the wall.
"Cowardice on the battlefield is a sin, soldier," he roared. "Will you charge that position?"
Salek shook his head and whimpered. Colonel Damon dropped him and pointed to another soldier.
"Watch him. If he shows any sign of deserting, kill him." He then turned back toward Tidus. "Lead the charge."
Tidus gulped and nodded. He glanced back at Private Salek and silently prayed for the dishonored man before sprinting into the billowing smoke.
Lieutenant Colonel Damon watched as a group of enemy soldiers were placed in front of the sagging wall. Tidus saw his father stride down the row of prisoners, dispatching each with a shot to the head. The ISA has surrendered their position, and now they were paying for their gutless actions. He turned away. The Helghast part of him wanted to laugh as the Vektans died like dogs, and he chastised himself for it. Then he heard the gunshots stop and Tidus faced the execution. All but one of the prisoners had been killed, and his father was in the process of reloading his pistol. Colonel Damon called to a pair of soldiers who dragged a bloodied Salek to the sagging façade.
Salek had been badly beaten. His helmet, goggles, and breather mask had been torn from him, and the bruises from several blows were already starting to show. He looked around, fear-stricken, as he was placed next to the surviving POW. The squad commandant stepped over to him and read the charges.
"Private Gregory Salek, you have been found guilty of the worst sin imaginable…cowardice. You let your fear of death overpower your duty to Helghan. Your penalty is death."
At this, Salek burst into sobs, pleading desperately to the soldiers around him. But his cries fell on deaf ears. Colonel Damon holstered his pistol and called to his son.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you may have the honor of killing this filth."
Tidus clenched his jaw and strode forward, automatically freeing his pistol from its holster. His mind raced, trying to find some loophole, some way to spare Salek's life. But the Helghast Military Code was absolute…there were no exceptions. Tidus raised his pistol and placed it on the private's forehead, trying not to look into the man's watery gray eyes. His hand trembled as his mind continued to search for some excuse not to pull the trigger.
"What are you waiting for? Shoot him!" his father yelled.
"Please…" Salek whimpered.
"don't kill me…"
"Tidus, if you don't pull that trigger I'll…"
He fired, the pistol kicking in his hand. Salek fell back, crimson goo and chunks of his skull adding to the collage of brain matter that decorated the wall.
"What the hell is wrong with you people?" a voice yelled. It was the surviving ISA prisoner.
"You just killed your own guy. For what? 'Battlefield cowardice'?" he ranted, struggling in his bonds. "You Helghast are just a bunch of fascist ba…"
The prisoner slumped to the ground, a hole through his head. Tidus holstered his pistol and turned around, bumping into his father.
"My quarters." Colonel Damon said through gritted teeth.
His father shoved Tidus into the tent and stormed inside."Take off your helmet and mask." He ordered.
Tidus sighed and complied, hooking his respirator to his belt and tossing the helmet onto his father's cot.
"Googles too," his father added.
"What?" Tidus asked. "Father, are you serious…" He stopped as he heard the slide of a pistol lock into place. Tidus raised his arms and turned around, staring into the barrel of his father's sidearm.
"Father, are you crazy?" he yelled.
Colonel Damon dropped his arm, and then brought it across Tidus' face, smacking him with the handgun. The strike shattered his goggles and sent Tidus to the ground. He wiped blood from his eyes and ripped off the useless eyewear, glaring at his father. He stood and reached for his own sidearm when his father fired a shot into the ground.
'Don't move."
"Father, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"Shut up! You have disgraced me for the last time. I should put you on that firing line!" Colonel Damon shook with rage and waved his pistol menacingly.
"For what?" Tidus yelled, his own blood rising. "For hesitating to shoot a comrade, a mere boy, for what you call 'cowardice'. You asked a recruit to charge a machine-gun nest. What did you think would happen?"
His father pistol-whipped him second time.
"You have no right to criticize my judgment. I am your superior, I am your elder, and I am your FATHER! You're a disappointment!" he roared.
"But father," Tidus sneered. "I killed that other unarmed prisoner without hesitation. Without you ever asking me."
Tidus' father smacked him with the pistol again and thrust his arm to the open tent-flap.
"Get…out." He said coldly.
Tidus grabbed his helmet and strode past his father.
The coastline rushed by Tidus as the convoy made its way to the spaceport, situated high up in the mountainous region of the island. He opened the APC's hatch and stood, enjoying the feeling of the cool salt air. He reached up to undo his mask, letting the zephyr wash over his bruised features. Tidus rubbed his face gingerly and looked towards the head of the column, spotting his father's car a couple vehicles ahead of his. The Lieutenant Colonel glared daggers at the vehicle, hoping it would hit a bump and swerve off the road, plunging down the sheer cliffside into the depths below.
"If that prick doesn't die in this battle, I might just kill him myself," he seethed.
The convoy came rumbling to a stop a few miles from the spaceport. Non-commissioned officers whipped the men into formation in front of Colonel Damon. Tidus stood off to the side, clutching a pair of binoculars in his gloved hands. His father began his speech in a low voice.
"Men, we have once again been selected as the vanguard of this operation. You have fought long and hard, but the final stage of our campaign in our grasp." He pointed to the mountain high above him.
"We take that spaceport, and more of our Helghast brothers will rain from the sky, and completely annihilate the Vektan dogs that so foolishly oppose us." Colonel Damon paused as a cheer arose.
"The main force is already in route…there is no time for subterfuge. We will attack them head on and overcome them with the sheer force of our will!" The men's cheering now drowned out the Colonel's words, but his task was complete. Tidus peered through the binoculars at the spaceport's defenses. There was only one road up the mountain; at its end was a massive gate, its walls covered by machine guns and cannons. Attacking from the road would be suicide, and their bodies would only become roadblocks for the main force as it attempted its attack up the winding path. Tidus scowled. Even if his father's troops breached the gate, he doubted there would be enough men left for any effective action.
"Colonel Damon," Tidus called, rushing over to his father. "You can't attack that base head on. It's a fortress!"
His father scoffed.
"You are a coward, boy. Do you not believe in your men?"
"Father, I have faith in my subordinates, but the ISA are no pushovers either. They have fortifications and the high ground. It's a deathtrap."
"We will win, Tidus, because we are Helghast," his father said bluntly. "Don't compare us to those Vektan dogs."
"But father," Tidus pleaded. "If we just found another way to assault the base…"
"Then you find another way," Colonel Damon said, crossing his arms. "Take some men and do what you want. Your efforts might prove useful…as a diversion." He chuckled and walked off.
Tidus stomped his foot on the ground. He looked over the mobilizing soldiers as his mind began to race.
"Oh, I'll be much more than a simple fient," he said under his breath.
Tidus gripped a tree branch and hauled himself on the other side of its trunk. He held up his palm and heard the rustling of thirty-two men making themselves comfortable. As comfortable as one can be on a sixty-degree slope, anyway. Tidus had handpicked the men of for this mission: veterans whom he knew could handle tough situations. They had hoofed it the two miles to the base of the mountain, and spent an hour finding a suitable slope to climb. His father's assault had begun halfway through their ascent, the sounds of battle echoing through the woodland that clung to the side of the mountain. Tidus grabbed his binoculars from his pack and scanned the summit before them. The wall above them was relatively unguarded, its only defense a trio of sentries. He smiled to himself. His plan was working perfectly. Once the wall was breached, Tidus would radio the all-clear to the approaching reinforcements, and Helghast forces would pour through the gap, taking the base before his father's men ever breached the gate. He put away his binoculars and ordered the team to resume their ascent.
"Fire." Tidus said. A trio of cracks broke the silence, each round finding its mark in the head of an unsuspecting ISA soldier. The Lieutenant Colonel waved his soldiers forward, mounting the summit and pressing himself up against the wall, his subordinates following suit. He pointed to one soldier, and then pumped his fist at an empty section of the wall.
"Vasel, make us a door."
Vasel nodded and readied large cannon. He stepped away from the wall and spread his feet, pulling the gun's charging handle to place a large round in the chamber. Vasel fired, the cannon's recoil knocking him back. The high explosive round plowed into the wall, a large section of the wall collapsing in a fiery explosion.
"Go," Tidus yelled, rushing through the gap. He knew the sounds of the battle at the gate would not mask his entry, and that he and his men needed to act fast to keep their advantage. His men surged into the spaceport, opening up on the startled defenders. The Lieutenant Colonel cut down one man and sprinted for the gate control shack. He opened up a channel to the main force.
"Attention 7th Helghast Army, this is Lieutenant Colonel Damon. The slope route is clear. I repeat, the slope route is clear."
Tidus smacked a man with the butt of his rifle and put a round in his chest. He was like a god of war, merciless and untouchable. This was not the first time adrenaline had coursed though his veins, but this was a battle-high he had never experienced before. Tidus felt invigorated. His instincts told him not to just survive, but conquer as well. "Was this how his father felt leading men to victory?" he wondered. Tidus felt a round strike his arm, but his shrugged off the hit and continued up the stairs. He reached the control room door and lobbed a grenade through the entryway. He smiled grimly as the device exploded, cutting the men inside to ribbons. He kicked open the door and strolled inside, putting bullets into those who were still breathing.
"Get this gate open." He ordered as a group of soldiers rushed in. Tidus shouldered his rifle as the massive gate began to raise, legions of Helghast pouring through the opening portal. He smiled wolfishly, thinking of what he would say to his father. Today's victory was due to him and him alone. He was almost certain he would be promoted.
"To Colonel Damon," a voice in his head said.
"No, I could be ranked higher than him,' he told himself.
"The generals would never allow it, Colonel Damon."
"Shut up." Tidus said.
He strode out of the room and down the stairs. The battle was virtually over, Helghast soldiers cheered loudly as tanks rumbled into the plaza. He made his way to the gateway, pushing past lines of men. He stopped when he saw the devastation before the gate. The road to the spaceport was littered with bodies. The broken shells of vehicles lay smashed on the sides of the avenue, their designations linking them to his father's unit. Tidus walked over to his father's car, spotting a body in the passage seat. He walked over to his father and checked his pulse. Tidus sighed and strode back into the spaceport.
Tidus Damon watched as another shuttle lanced up into the atmosphere. He turned his eyes downward at the river of Helghast soldiers and equipment that wound their way up the mountain for their journey back into space. He smiled. The prize from his momentous victory was now the key cornerstone in the Helghast retreat.
"Oh the irony."
He had been baffled when he heard that a four-man team had undermined their entire invasion, and that one of its members was one of the late General Lente's staff. An approaching soldier derailed his musings.
"Colonel Damon."
Tidus waved the soldier away.
"I'm not Colonel Damon. Colonel Damon is my…"
He stopped himself, looking at the Colonel's stars on his shoulder. His father's stars.
"Never mind," Tidus said. "What is it?"
"Your shuttle is ready to depart."
"All right. I'll be there shortly."
The soldier saluted and hurried away, leaving Tidus alone to watch the sky. Then, for the first time in years, he cried. He cried for those who wouldn't be returning to Helghan, like Salek, and those who never saw their deaths coming, like that soldier in the mist. He cried for the twist of fate that left his father dead and him with his accursed rank. Tidus fell to his knees and beat the ground in frustration, roaring in rage. He stood up shakily, his anger spent, removing his goggles and wiping his eyes. Colonel Damon replaced his eyewear and left for the shuttle.
"God, I hate war."
Colonel Damon shielded his eyes as the shuttle's ramp descended, bathing him in orange light. He saluted as an octet of soldiers passed, carrying between them an ornate pewter coffin. Tidus followed the procession out onto the paved surface of the runway. A hundred senior officers stood in file on each side of the exit ramp, saluting as the pall-bearers strode by. Colonel Damon picked out his mother and brother from the crowd. Aldric had his arm around her as she sobbed into his shoulder. After seeing his father's body to the hearse, he approached them. His mother embraced him, sniffling lightly.
"I'm sorry about father." Tidus said. His mother looked up at him.
"Don't worry Tidus, the important thing is that you're safe."
Mrs. Damon released him and left to visit the cemetery, leaving the two brothers alone. Colonel Damon turned toward his younger sibling.
Tidus paused as his brother hugged him.
"I'm glad you're alright, brother." Aldric said.
Tidus smiled and pat Aldric's head.
"I am too. Come on, let's go home."
The two brothers left, glad that the worse was behind them.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) – The football team hosted its Kick Scrimmage on Wednesday, and it was the black team that took it to the gold. Punter Thomas Meadows and kicker Ian MacDougall led the way for the black team.
Meadows did a nice job with his punting duties Wednesday as he placed three punts at or inside the 10-yard line, including one downed at the three. MacDougall had a strong start to the scrimmage, showing consistency from the mid-range.
In the practices leading up to the scrimmage, Hazell said that junior Paul Griggs carried an edge for the starting placekicker job over Wabash transfer senior Ian MacDougall. But afterwards, Hazell said the scrimmage didn't make his decision any clearer.
"I think it's going to be difficult to decide based on [Wednesday's] performance," Hazell said. "I thought they were OK in the first half, and then we weren't as good as we need to be in the second half. We have to hit those. They were all short field goals. We need to be able to hit those short field goals. We'll take a long look at it, and a close look at it and make a decision on which guys is our guy."
Purdue's return units looked good, as Frankie Williams had a long punt return and the duo of Akeem Hunt and Raheem Mostert showed some electrifying potential on kickoff returns.

There's no dispute that playwright and actor David Cerda is the clever king of stage camp.
Cerda, a 1979 graduate of Hammond High School, is now a noted name and creative force in the Chicago theater community, and he's the reason parodies now have an exulted identity as a hot ticket for stage entertainment in Chicago.
Since Cerda's Hell in a Handbag Productions launched in 2002, he has crafted stage works aiming his silly spotlight on pop culture icons such as Joan Crawford and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and skewering films like Stephen King's "Carrie" and Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."

Mysterium holds third Shakespeare Festival
The Mysterium Theater has been holding its third annual "Shakespeare Festival" among other productions and events this summer.
The last play in the festival, "MacBeth," is showing now and runs through Aug. 11.
"It's gotten better and stronger every year," said Marla Ladd, the theater's producing artistic director.
"Romeo and Juliet" ran from June 15 to 30, followed by "The Comedy of Errors" from July 6 to 21. The plays are held outdoors.
"We have fabulous, huge trees," she said. "We put out canopies and tenting for about 50 people and folks can bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets."
The annual Shakespeare plays have been among Mysterium's most popular shows, according to Ladd, a fan of the English poet and playwright.
"He weaves manipulation and desire and treachery and hot and sexy stuff all together," she said. "It's very cool. And I think it's very poignant as well."
Casting and rehearsals took place about six weeks prior to each play, Ladd said. Actors from ages 9 to 55 were cast in MacBeth, and rehearsals were particularly challenging; the actor playing the lead was also directing Mysterium's production of "Damn Yankees," forcing him to miss rehearsal time.
"It's been a little squishy squeeze to get it all done," she said.
During this year's festival's, attendance at the first two plays averaged about 50 people per play, according to Ladd. She thinks there might be a boost in attendance for the final production since she has received more phone calls from people inquiring about attending.
"MacBeth" is generally a popular play, even among those who don't consider themselves theater aficionados, Ladd said, because it is relatively short. The first act runs about 55 minutes, followed by a 48-minute second act. The language is also a little easier to understand compared to some of Shakespeare's other works.
"People really like being able to sit outside and have a good time," she said.

8:00 am
tropical storm-force winds created whiteout conditions. an inch of snow is expected and federal workers have an option to stay home to avoid the mess. all anyone wants to know is when this cold snap will end. i'm hoping it will end soon, jennifer. >> carol, it doesn't look like until next week. we'll see the temperatures warm back up but a lot of people are wondering what is causing this recent cold spell. we've been looking at things and it's called the arctic oscillation and here's the cold air and keep in mind when we're in a negative phase, the cold air basically spills down towards the southern parts and even spreads towards the northeast. when you're in a positive space, you're in a belt around the polar region and locks in that cold air. it's been spilling down towards the south. that's why we're negative and it looks like we could continue to
8:01 am
see these arctic outbreaks as we go through the next few weeks ahead. you can still see below freezing in many parts, including minneapolis and green bay. temperatures are still going to be 10 to 20 degrees below average and, of course, still some windchill advisories out there. very cold. we need to make sure we're cautious and well-protected. >> thank you, jennifer. i'm carol costello. the next hour of newsroom starts right now with ashleigh banfield. >> thanks so much, carol. everybody talks about the weather, right, carol was just talking about it, jennifer was just talking about it. when the windchill hits 20 below or 30 below or 40 below, that's news and it hurts. it includes us, it includes just about everybody in the u.s. in fact, we're talking deep ice hitting the deep south. first, however, we're going to talk guns. because after tragedies and promises and debates and
8:02 am
executive actions, the showdown on guns is really now about to begin. senator dianne feinstein is making good on her vow to take action. she's about to unveil her tough new bill. the provisions include bans on military-styled assault weapons to be defined in this bill as well. bans on semiautomatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns, a strengthening of the 1994 ban which, by the way, if you didn't know, senator feinstein authored the 1994 bill that expired in 2004. also, bans on magazines that hold more than ten rounds. again, those are just the highlights. there's plenty more, though. the senator's move follows president obama's push for much stronger gun control measures
8:03 am
and, of course, new york state's new gun control law which is now the toughest in the nation and signed into law by andrew cuomo last month. we're covering all aspects of senator feinstein's new bill. dana bash has been following this. she's going to join our crime and justice correspondent. first to you, dana, on capitol hill, theatrics are often times discussed as part of the problem when discussing the military-style assault weapons in the first place and there will be no shortage of theatrics, right? >> that's right. you can see behind me what is going to happen. i counted ten assault weapons that are on display that they decided was critical to display because they want to make a point. they want to show these and to argue that these kinds of
8:04 am
weapons are simply not needed in the hands of every day americans. you can probably see here, there are two lines of ropes. that is because it is not legal for these weapons -- never mind being in the united states capitol but also to be in the d.c. -- in d.c. it breaks the d.c. gun laws. so they got special permission from the d.c. police office and also from the capitol police and there are a lot of capitol police officers here. those are the rules to make sure the guns are back there and we are not allowed back there either. that really is the point that she is going to make. what's most interesting is that her aud yns, audience are conservative democrats who feel that banning these type of assault weapons, they don't want to do it. >> i'm glad that you pointed out that there was a special -- our colleague david gregory took it on the chin for having a
8:05 am
high-powered magazine on his show. there is a significant reason why. when i said theatric, i meant it. critics of this kind of gun control law say it's because of the look. they look so incredibly menacing but are they any different that what is legal? sl there a lot of specificity about what kind of weapon will constitute an assault weapon? >> there are. in fact, i should tell you that i should probably stop talking because we expect senator feinstein and others. i'm going to sit down while i talk and tell you that the answer to that is there are 150 guns according to this sheet that we have on our sheet here. so they do try to be very specific. not only that, there is a provision that grandfathers in certain types of guns owned by
8:06 am
individuals already. the other thing that this does, as you mentioned, it bans large capacity magazines and other ammunition holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. actually, you know what, here come the members of the press conference. there are lots -- representatives from all walks of life here and that was no accident. they worked very hard to get this together. you see a lot of police officers from all over the country. we expect to see the members of clergy as well in addition to members of congress. i see dianne feinstein. i can see her waiting in the wings. >> okay. i want to let dana put her mike on mute for a moment so we can be very clear here when we mention the word theatrics, look, oftentimes words and
8:07 am
images constitute theatrics in order to highlight what a politician's standpoint is. the good senator is trying to make a point about what these look like. it's an image issue as opposed to a capacity issue but it's an issue that those who are concerned about this feel mare tore yous. let's listen as the senator takes the podium. let me bring in joe johns as we await. joe, listen, when we say very quickly that the provisions in this bill go farther than the 1994 ban, that raises hackles for a lot of people. give me a better indication of how you can go farther than 94. >> it's all about the characteristics that are banned. you are absolutely right.
8:08 am
characteristics were banned in the '94 ban. basically, the gun couldn't have two things and if it had two things, it was designated as an assault weapon. this ban, we're told, is going to have a single characteristic ban. if there's any one of the things that makes it more military or dangerous in the view of the propo proposers, they will throw it it out. >> let's listen to senator dianne feinstein. >> together we are introducing legislation to help end the mass shootings that have devastated countless families and terrorized communities. today you will hear from some of my colleagues in the senate. senator dick durbin from illinois, the leadership on the democratic side. senator schumer who helped me in 1993 by headlining or i should
8:09 am
say by leading in the house of representatives which was successful. senators richard blumenthal and chris murphy, distinguished senators from connecticut who know firsthand about assault weapons. you will also hear from congresswoman carolyn mccarthy from new york who knows firsthand the devastation of gun violence as well as congressman ed pearlmutter of colorado who represents aurora and congresswoman elizabeth esty who represents newtown. you will also here from mayor michael nutter, the distinguished mayor of philadelphia who leads the united states conference of lay y mayors. you will hear from commissioner ramsey, the police chiefs association who will speak about the display of weapons you see
8:10 am
to my left. finally, we will hear from victims of recent mass shootings. i would also like to recognize other supporters who are here today. on the risers behind me, we have police officers from several department and i so thank you for joining us today. i would also like to recognize a million moms for gun control represented by mr. sandberg here today, doctors for america, the american academy of pediatrics and the american federation of teachers. now i'd like to introduce gary hall, dean of washington national cathedral to open this morning with a few remarks and a
8:11 am
prayer. >> thank you, senator feinstein. it's an honor to be here with you and to share in the work that you and your colleagues and faiths united against gun violence are doing. i've spoken twice at washington national cathedral on gun violence and i've bun it in the pulpit and media and with faith leaders and with people in my own church. now we have come to the end of the part of our work and we are moving forward today with a tangible solution to the epidemic as we stand with senator feinstein and with her congressional colleagues as they introduce this assault weapons ban. as people of faith, we have the moral obligation to stand with and for the victims of gun violence and to work to end it. we have tolerated school shootings and mall shootings and theater shootings and sniper shootings and workplace shootings and temple and church shootings and urban neighborhood
8:12 am
shootings for far too long. enough is enough. now, everyone in this city seems to live in terror of the gun lobby, but i believe that the gun lobby is no match for the cross lobby, especially when we stand together as people of all faiths across the religious landscape of america. i don't want to -- >> as we continue to listen in on this press conference, joe johns is still with us in our washington, d.c. bureau. you just heard it. people live in terror of the gun lobby, according to this minister. but joe, the gun lobby is very strong and represents a significant part of this country. what do you think or what are people saying the chances are of this kind of a bill, a ban on assault-style weapons, passing the house and even the democratic senate? >> very skeptical. democratic senate, let's start with that. dana can tell you better than i but she's busy right now, obviously. the problem in the senate is
8:13 am
that there are a lot of democrat from republican leaning so-called red states that basically have to walk the plank to take that vote because they have so many sportsmen, hunters who use it for legitimate purposes who don't like the idea of a government trying to take their guns away. and then move over to house of representatives, it's controlled by republicans, unlike 1994 when the house was controlled by democrats and even then the gun ban passed on a very close vote. so this proposal, frankly, has a very tough road to hoe and it may be that if they put something out there and try to encourage people who support gun rights to go ahead and vote for it, they will end up with something that they can sell politically to the country even though it might not be able to get to the congress. people say go after the ammunition or go after stopping
8:14 am
people who are mentally ill from getting guns, do some things that are a little bit easier to get agreement on. >> and the hollywood and gaming community as well, part of that basket of controversy. the good senator is speaking again. we have to fit in a quick break. joe, you can listen as well and dana is busy as she's in the front row. we'll bring you this later. back after this. they have carb steady, with carbs that digest slowly to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

8:18 am
look at mount mansfield in vermont. and long lake, new york, all the way at the bottom with minus 22, it just seems unfair, don't it? and if you're in chicago, it's not great either. susan candiotti drew the short straw and there she is. listen, are you kidding me? this is new york city. it never looks like that. >> reporter: don't you love that? this has to be one of the most photographed fountains. how are you getting the crystals and the water is still running? there are heaters in the chamber below that fountain so that is what keeps the pipes warm and the water running and that's why you get the effect of water in
8:19 am
the fountain still coming down but when this wind picks up, the crystals form and that's how you see this. the temperature right now in the city, around 20 degrees, but that windchill makes it feel like it's about 8 degrees right now. there are warming centers set up around new york city. the very young and old have some place to keep warm and that is a concern because, as you know, ashleigh, there have been at least three cold-related deaths around the country in a few states including illinois where a man was left unattended in his trailer died of hypothermia. this is serious business. >> you're not kidding. the cdc has statics on the number of americans who die because of cold weather. we have an average of 13 deaths per year. it's a quote from 1999 to 2011.
8:20 am
1300 people have died from this. while the pictures are pretty and it's funny to joke about it, it's a deadly thing. susan candiotti, appreciate your work. she's been outside, by the way, since 4:00 this morning. big appreciation to you doing the assignment. chad myers, on the other hand, you get to do your weather live shots from inside. here's what i want to ask you and i don't know how well you're going to know this with all of the fancy terms that i've been learning, just tell me if this is going to pass any time soon. >> we get warm again on tuesday. it's a very cold weekend in store but it warms up. and then it gets cold again at the end of next weekend. it's this up and down pattern. when the jet stream goes up and you're under that up, you get warm. when the jet stream goes down and you're under that low down here as it is called a trough, that's when you get cold because the arctic air pours down like
8:21 am
it does in montreal. it's warmed up to a windchill of 19 in the city. but i'll tell you what, with the wind blowing through the city streets and into some of the wind tunnel eye effects, it feels colder than that. another shot of cold air. there you go. right there for you just on the map. winnipeg, 39 below. as we learned yesterday, that would be 39 below farenheit and celsius. we've had temperatures in the 80s across the desert southwest. but by tuesday the jet stream changes and this is what i was talking about when you're on this side of the jet stream, you are cold. when you're on this side of the jet stream you get warm. finally the warmup comes through but it's a progressive pattern. so you have to watch what you ask for.
8:22 am
another shot of cold air, that's always the way it works, and then this time they have been digging down farther to the south. big record cold across europe as well. we'll talk about that in the next hour. obviously deaths into europe as well and they are used to this cold air but when it's this cold everywhere, people can't get out of the way. people think they can save money because this is now costing a lot of money to heat the host but the kerosene heaters and propane heaters need to be very careful in the garage or wherever. >> and don't sit in your car in the garage to warm it up, too. and i tell you what, you put minus 39 for my home town and can i just tell you, chad, after many, many trips to school in the morning at minus 39, it doesn't feel a lot different than minus 20. it's so horrible any way you slice it. >> it blows right through you. when you buy a coat in the south
8:23 am
is is not like buying a coat in winnipeg. the wind can't get through. here in the south, it goes in one side and out the other. >> we call them parkas. and i tell you what, they are awesome and i have them here. thank you for the explanation on the arctic oscillation. it's nice to know why it's happening. chad, thank you.

8:26 am
well, the glass ceiling in the military is about to be shattered. a short time from now the defense secretary -- current defense secretary on his way out, leon panetta, is about to make a historic announcement. women will be allowed in combat roles. some critics say it could damage or weaken the military. joining us is gail. she has an article out today in "the daily beast" and alongside gail is a veteran who filed a lawsuit with the aclu and other
8:27 am
pea petitioners that combat exclusion is unfair. with this announcement, you and your colleagues who have sued the department of defense, does this negate the lawsuit? is it gone? is what you are about to hear enough? >> well, that is certainly something that we're going to be continuing to look at as the policy -- or the lack of policy unfolds and implementation is started. but we're still in a wait and see pattern, cautiously optimistic about the latest development in this. >> staff sergeant hunt, you're a purple heart? you were awarded the purple heart. you were injured by an ied in iraq, you had a tour in iraq and afghanistan. you were not officially in a combat role but you sort of smacked the bloody windshield like many of your male colleagues. do you see the critics' point of view that somehow, someone of
8:28 am
your build and i'm talking about averages here, may not be as qualified to keep the military at a level that some say it needs to be at when you're in those circumstances? >> well, i would say that women have been demonstrating for the past 11 years during these conflicts that they are able and willing to execute the missions that are put before them and that, you know, the military -- in the military, soldiers come of all shapes and sizes and background, including the male soldiers and everyone manages to complete their mission no matter what their physical capabilities are of cross genders. >> gail, i want to bring you in. those who fight for the suit, fight for full citizenship, the right to defend your country, are often taken on right at the source by people like jeb, the former u.s. deputy undersecretary of defense who
8:29 am
has written very scathingly about this moves, mincing no words saying this will destroy the military. he points to a number of reasons. it will break the spirit of our warriors, it will reduce the qualifications because clearly men are stronger than women. you can't fight biology. lives and battles will be lost and then goes on to say something wild, but submarines will become loveboats and military wives don't like that. this is a legitimate feeling among those who criticize this move. >> i think you have to look at where this came from. this came from within the military and if you look at the letter that the joint chiefs chairman sent to secretary panetta, what he said is this is
8:30 am
a talent issue. this is not about changing standards. it's about allowing people who meet the standards to serve. right now the opposite was the case. even if you could meet the requirements, you couldn't serve because of your gender. so i think that, plus the reality of what these last decades of war have been for most people, you've been in afghanistan. there is no front line. women have been fighting, serving, and dying even alongside special forces. i think what this is doing is matchmaking policy with reality on the ground. >> gayle, you mentioned special forces. sergeant hunt, you think that women should be special opps, that she should be navy s.e.a.l.s? >> i think women have the capability to put forth the effort to accomplish any mission that the military set before
8:31 am
them and take full advantage of any opportunity that the military gives them so i would definitely be excited to see those career paths opened up to my female counterparts. >> sergeant hunt, thank you for your service. i don't know if people tell that you when you do these interviews or when you're in the court, but thank you for your service but we're proud of you for your purple heart and what you've done for us. gayle, good to talk to you as well. >> thank you. >> we're back right after this. cash rewards credit card. earn 1% cash back everywhere, every time.

so the girlfriend was fake. the girlfriend's car crash, her cancer, her death never happened. but manti te'o insists that his pain was real. real. the notre dame standout and runner i for this year's heisman has been opening up to katie couric about a scam that he says he admits he kept alive for weeks even after learning that the girl lennay ka cue wa wasn't dead and probably never, ever lived in the first place. as for manti te'o's own personal legend -- >> i think for me, the only thing that i basked in is i had an impact on people.
8:35 am
that people will turn to me and -- for inspiration. and i think that was the only thing i focused on. my story, i felt, was a guy who in times of hardship and in times of trial really, you know, held strong to his faith, held strong to his family and i thought that that was my story. >> even if that hardship was perhaps exaggerated? >> no. what i went through was real. the feelings, the pain, the sorrow, that was all real. >> it's weird. that's for sure. there's even more to this story. every day there's a weird twist, there's a really weird twist. even a guy who has a multi-year romance on the line and on the phone need to have a face to look at, right? and here's the face. manti te'o fell in love with this face but it belongs to a woman named diane omera.
8:36 am
diane went to school with a young man who reportedly engineered this whole hoax, a man who has fessed up and apologized. >> he reached out to me two days before the story broke and realized he was stalking my profile for five years, and taking my photos. >> five years? >> he created this identity that was not me. it was lennay kekua. >> ronaiah tuiasosopo's lawyer

says it was a young man on the phone faking the voice of lennay and here's what the lawyer said. this wasn't a prank to make fun. it was a person trying to reach out and communicate and have a relationship again. that's milton grimes, the lawyer for ronaiah tuiasosopo. now i'm going to tell you the most jaw-dropping stuff about all of this. this stuff goes on all the time. the mark, the person like manti te'o, can lose a lot more than their pride. cnn's deb feyerick talked to an expert about it. >> reporter: as crazy as it sounds, what happened to notre dame player manti te'o happens every day. >> doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, i mean, people who
8:38 am
are really smart. >> reporter: private investigator dawn richie says she has spoken to hundreds of men and women who get conned after falling deeply in love online. >> reporter: what are they hoping for? >> the scammer just knows how to pull them into it. >> reporter: it's called catfishing, the term popularized by the 2010 film "catfish" who has an online love affair with a woman who does not exist. it starts with one e-mail, one text, one phone call and in perhaps manti te'o's case, for years. >> he fell in love with a fictional character. just a thought. a fantasy in his head. >> reporter: richie believes te'o is like many of her clients, the target of a cruel
8:39 am
hoax. >> the bottom line is, there's money. they will always ask for money. >> reporter: richie says she's had clients pay tens and thousands of dollars pay outstanding gifts or buy expensive gifts like jewelry. te'o told espn he never gave money to his girlfriend but admits she wanted to send money to him and asked for his checking account number. he refused to give it. >> it's very hard for people to accept the fact that this person doesn't exist. nothing's going to match up. phone numbers aren't going to match up, addresses aren't going to match up. you can send me to an address and it's not going to be the person. >> reporter: in most cases, once the money dries up, the scammer disappears. in manti te'o's case, his girlfriend faked the death. >> my clients are truly embarrassing to what has happened to them. they don't want to talk to their friends, their family.
8:40 am
they feel completely humiliated. >> reporter: humiliated and left with questions, how can it happen in the first place? deborah feyerick, cnn, new york. my insurance company told me not to talk to people like you. you always do what they tell you? no... try it, and see what your good driving can save you. you don't even have to switch. unless you're scared. i'm not scared, it's... you know we can still see you. no, you can't. pretty sure we can... try snapshot today -- no pressure.

a california woman who went to jail for killing her own child is now a free woman and it was only three years between trial and out with the general population. what is unbelievable is the reason that officials said she could be released. jennifer bigham was pronounced not guilty. she did go to prison. that is a bit weird. the very same doctors who testified in court that she was insane at the time of the murders came back to be testified that she should be released and that she is now well again and officially cured. defense attorney back with me now. while many people would be shocked to hear that --
8:55 am
>> including us. >> that is the system. if you are not guilty by reason of insanity you are no murderer. you are sick. if you can get well you can be back among the living. >> that is exactly what it is. remember what happens when you commit a crime you have to have the mental state to do that. drowning your child you would say is an intentional act. insanity is the inability to distinguish right from wrong because of your mental capacity at the time. you get evaluated. once you are evaluated, once doctors determine that you are now sane, you are not a danger to yourself or the community you get released. >> a lot of people are surprised that the same doctors who argued in court that she was insane came back to say she is no longer insane. they do try in these kinds of

procedures to get the same doctors to come back and say we worked with this woman. we know the progress and we know that she has come through it and the testimony is important of those first doctors. >> 100%. it makes it more credible because these are the doctors who are treating and assessed her mental state and whether she was lucid, logical and rational. those doctors say things have changed. she has gotten better. she has gotten the treatment that she needed but they are the ones to clear her. >> it is not often that the good man and i are stumped. one thing that stumped us is that not guilty by reason of insanity does not mean you go get a burger. it means you go to an institution to be made well again, usually some kind of a psychiatric institution. this judge sent her to prison. >> he did send her to prison. even if it is prison you can get

the type of treatment that you need. so what the argument is that although she was in jail she got the treatment and got better and now she is able to be released amongst us. look for the prosecution to contravert with experts saying she is a danger. >> they are already appealing. she cannot be tried again. >> as to whether she should remain in or go out. andreaiates who killed her five children, two trials and the second one deemed not guilty by reason of insanity i recall someone saying she will never, ever get out. >> ultimately doctors will evaluate her and determine whether she has made progress. that's our system of justice. >> like it or hate it. great to see you. thank you.

Lots of people 65 years of age and older on Medicare Parts A & B are are now finding that with the right Medicare Supplement Plan they can:
Research a Medigap Policy instantly with the policies you need to have at the rate that is perfect your budget.
Safeguard your physical well-being and secure your personal wealth with a Medicare Supplemental Policy
Like the many thousands of seniors that our company have aided over the years, you assuredly noticed that attempting to reach a decision on the proper Medicare Supplement Policy is agonizing to say the least. Additionally, attempting to find a Medicare Supplemental Company to work together with you when sizing up costs can be stressful too.
Fortunately, this isn't always the case. Locating a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Company that you can trust is no problem after you find out that:
Obtain a Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy through us and have peace of mind about both your budget friendly rates and the comprehensive policies.
But that's not all we is willing to do. Did you ever attempted to apply for an insurance plan like a Medicare Supplement Insurance? Many people 65 years of age and older are unfortunately denied a plan or gotten limited coverage on their plan that they were blindsided by only after they had taken care of the initial premium payment. Often there are huge difficulties involved in getting a refund or locating other equal Medicare Supplement Coverage or other coverage.
We take great caution so things like this don't happen to you. The Medicare Supplement Insurance Brokers we've hired are also professional "field underwriters.†we will not only assist you in locating the least expensive for Medicare Supplement Quotes, but we will insure you do be approved for the coverage before we ask you to apply. By answering a few quick questions about your current health and medical history, you can immediatley qualified for Medicare Supplemental Coverage that will enroll you you without any issues, a bunch of issues to drive you crazy or anxieties of ending your coverage.
We do not recommend a specific plan to you unless we know your approval will be guaranteed by the insurance company And, our Lowest Rate Guarantee ensures that you not ever have to need to write a check for our services and are always paying the affordable available rate on the recommended insurance plan you qualify for.
Also, for your convenience, we have made arrangements with all of our Medicare Supplemental Companies to make it easy for you apply for their plans with an agent on the phone in a manner of minutes. You will get the best Medigap Insurance Bills available in your area, coverage for the rest of your days and, if you select Medigap Insurance Plan F, you will never need to reach for your credit card to pay going forward for Medicare-covered medical necessities.
Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans are also known as "Medigap Plansâ€
Medigap is an insider term applied to healthcare policies known as Medicare Supplement Insurance. Medigap Insurance Plans supplement the gaps in Medicare health coverage that are not taken care of by Medicare Parts A & B.
Medigap Insurance is not an stand-in for traditional Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works with traditional Medicare. Additionally, Medigap Plans are different from Medicare Advantage since they've no co-pays, no deductibles, and no issues with being "in nework" that could interfere with you medical treatment.
Did you know that if you opt for the correct Medicare Supplemental Medicare Supplemental Plan like Medicare Supplement Plan F you won't ever have a need to pay a single dime when you undergo prescribed treatment in a hospital, specialty treatment center or doctor's office that accepts standard Medicare.
When you select Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your doctor or hospital bills are extremely expensive, you will never have to pay anything for doctor or hospital bills just as long as Medicare green-lights.
Medicare Supplemental Plans: How they work
If you seek out treatment with a hospital, doctor, or specialty treatment center, just whip out your your Medicare Supplement card to the doctor, specialty treatment center or hospital. Everything then will be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, once your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare will in most cases route your claim direct to your Medigap Insurance Provider without you having to do anything. Then your Medigap Insurance Provider will process the claim, as a general rule without ever needing human assistance
With a comparison that is quickly and easily done on our website of Medigap Rates, you will get the one that is right for your health and your budget and then everything will be managed for you. And once again, if you enroll in a Medicare Supplemental Plan F from our company, you will never get leftover healthcare debt to pay.
Our company staunchly believes that medical professionals should be able to to determine what the best medical treatment is for you while your Medigap Plans insures you are not hurt with health care bills. What's more, when you sign up for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans like a Medicare Supplemental Plan F it's YOURS FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Unlike Medicare Advantage Plans, provided that you keep on paying the premiums every month, the Medicare Supplement Insurance Carrier won't ever take that plan away
Like all the thousands and thousands of Medicare patients we have advised over time, it has become apparent to you that attempting to make the decision on the right Medigap Plans is irritiating. Also, attempting to get a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider to work with as you compare Medicare Insurance Policies is exacting too.
Happily, it doesn't have to be that way. Working with a a Medigap Policy Broker whom you can put your trust in easy as pie because:
Our services are completely free.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policies: Why enroll through us us?
If you are on Medicare, you're probably grappling with immense decisions about selecting the right Medicare Supplement Policy and you're probably duped by Medicare Advantage salespeople.
Medicare Insurance Plan Providers are mandated give the same coverage. Therefore it is very necessary to compare and contrast Medicare Insurance Plan Monthly Premiums from the leading companies through a partner you can trust.
We are different, in that we work for you, not just one Medigap Plan Carrier. We examine every of the Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policy Providers selling Medigap Rates and seek out the good ones that have a long-standing reputation and also they can honor their promises into the foreseable future. It's pretty simple,, licensensed agents rejects the little Medicare Supplemental Policy Carriers and the unreliable and shady.

By shopping around for you, we attain the very best value for your particular situation based on your specific needs, not what the Medigap Plan Carriers hope you will purchase from them.
What's more that's not the full measure that we can do for you. Have you ever tried sign up for a policy like a Medigap Plan? Many who do, are frequently denied coverage or received restrictions on their policy that they didn't see coming only after they had taken care of the initial premium. Most often there will be difficult to fix problems receiving your money back or signing up for other suitable Medicare Insurance Rate or other coverage.
It's our job to keep this from happening to you.
The Medicare Supplemental Policy Agents on our staff also are Medicare Supplemental Policy Field Underwriters. So we'll not only help you to find the best priced Medicare Supplemental Quotes, but we'll make sure qualify for the plan before we ask you to apply. By answering several quick questions respecting your current heath, you can be quickly qualified for a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan that will accept you the initial time, without frustrations or worry of of denied claims for lack of coverage.
We will not recommend a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan to you until we know that you qualify to be approved by the Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan provider. Morever, our Most Affordable Monthly Premium Promise insures that you won't ever pay a penny for our services and are always paying the most affordable available rate for the plan you qualify to receive.
To make this easy, we made deals with all our Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan Carriers to let you sign up for their plans over the telephone quickly. You get the lowest Medigap available, a policy for life and, if you enroll in a Medigap Plan F, you will never pay extra money again for Medicare covered Medicare-covered.

Today, Instagram released their year-end review, and, well, it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. But it's also a great excuse to post some gorgeous shots. Advertisement The most unsurprising bit is, perhaps, the fact that Justin Bieber has been named the proud owner of the number one most liked Instagram photo. Here is his masterpiece in all its glory: Other top dogs include #love as the number one most used hashtag (although #selfie and #tbt aren't too far behind) and Thanksgiving/the first day of Hannukah—because Thanksgiving ain't Thanksgiving until your Turkey's in black and white.

The Regal LaGrange Oldham 8 in La Grange, Kentucky is closed. Calls to the theater's showtimes line results in showtimes for May 7th, and fans on their inactive Facebook page report seeing a closed sign on the theater.
The theater was purchased by Regal Cinemas in December 2012 as part of their acquisition of Great Escape Theatres. It would seem that the theater did not meet some metrics on Regal's part to keep it open, which is unfortunately very common in such acquisitions.
Moviegoers in La Grange will need to do some driving to see movies on the big screen, as the closest theater is now the Cinemark Tinseltown USA Louisville in Louisville, which is about 12 miles away. There are four other theaters within 20 miles as well.
If you have any information about this theater, or if you hear of plans to reopen it, please let us know by leaving a comment below!
