CHIPLEY � A chiropractor who was arrested for burning down his Chipley office in 1995 was the subject of a 20/20 investigation which aired Friday on the ABC network.
Click here to watch the 20/20 episode "Sneaking Suspicions.
CHIPLEY � A chiropractor who was arrested for burning down his Chipley office in 1995 was the subject of a 20/20 investigation which aired Friday on the ABC network.
Michael Allan Wohlschlaeger is being accused of killing his fifth wife, Shirley Seitz, by the woman�s relatives.
There were no charges against Wohlschlaeger in Seitz�s death, nor was he ever arrested in connection with the death.
Wohlschlaeger was, however, arrested in October 1995 by the Chipley Police Department in connection with the arson of his chiropractic office. He was convicted of arson in June 1997 and sentenced to 15 years� probation, which ended in June 2012.
Seitz�s relatives aired their suspicions about Wohlschlaeger�s involvement in her death on the 20/20 episode �Sneaking Suspicions,� which aired nationally Friday, Sept. 6.
The Washington County News contributed file stories and photos to the 20/20 investigation.
Wohlschlaeger's fifth wife, Seitz, died in their Loxley, Ala., bedroom following days of unexplained pain. Her relatives say he is responsible, but Wohlschlaeger was never charged with any crimes in connection to her death and maintains that he is innocent.
On the 20/20 episode, Seitz�s relatives said the four-year marriage that ended with Seitz unconscious, face down on their bedroom floor.
Her relatives told ABC journalists that since Seitz's death in 2010, her relatives have discovered that Wohlschlaeger �soaked her dry� both before and after she died, even cashing in on a $100,000 life insurance policy and having her use her $500,000 in liquid assets that she had going into the marriage to buy their home and bankroll their life together.
Seitz's daughter Sharon Yeomans said that they were wary of Wohlschlaeger's financial footing even before her mother decided to marry him.
�He came into the marriage with the clothes on his back. And he's a doctor?� Yeomans told ABC.
Her relatives were hesitant when Seitz rushed into her marriage with Wohlschlaeger in 2006 after just a three-month courtship.
Adding to that, Seitz had her own share of relationship issues in the past, as this was also her fifth marriage, relatives said.
Her fourth husband Gene Seitz had left her $1million following his death, and while she never told her relatives that she felt used during her four-year marriage to Wohlschlaeger, the claim to have found out after her death that she had felt used, according to Seitz�s personal journals.
�How much longer am I going to have to financially support this man? He said he wasn't going to do this to me. He said he was going to get a job. He's constantly spending my money. Lord when is he going to get a job?� Seitz wrote in one entry, according to her daughter.
Two of Wohlschlaeger�s other ex-wives were also on 20/20 saying that he also showed violent behavior during their marriages � facts that they did not disclose during the investigation into Seitz's death.
His third wife, Gloria Potts, was married to him from 1981 to 1995. When contacted by Seitz's daughter, she said that he once hit her with a mallet in the back of her head and then tried to smother her in their bed.
Potts said that she was hospitalized after the incident and told doctors that she fell in the shower.
When she later asked what he was doing, Potts said that Wohlschlaeger told her his actions were the result of a jellyfish sting.
�He told me he had gotten stung by jellyfish when he was in China and that it was a reaction to the toxins,� Potts said.
Potts did not leave Wohlschlaeger until a decade later � a move that she cannot rationally explain now, but when she did finally divorce him, she told police about the mallet incident and now has a restraining order against him.
Wohlschlaeger's fourth wife, Diana Yohn, was the woman he divorced just months before marrying Seitz.
She told police that while she did not have firm proof, she felt that her regular migranes got significantly worse during her marriage to Wohlschlaeger and she felt he played a role in her pain.
�I think that the man's dangerous, personally,� she told police.
During the investigation into Seitz�s death, Wohlschlaeger reportedly told police that in the days leading up to her death, Seitz had been feeling ill and having one of her bi-annual bouts of migranes.
Seitz�s mother and brother told ABC that they made a surprise visit to the home that Seitz and Wohlschlaeger shared in Loxley to check in on her. They said that Seitz felt so ill that she could not even get out of bed to greet them.
When they arrived, Wohlschlaeger said that he had been out of town but when he got back he saw that a potted plant had been broken and he believed Seitz had possibly fallen down the stairs. She denied falling down the stairs.
Seitz�s symptoms had improved by the time she said goodnight to her relatives on Sunday Feb. 28, 2010. The next morning, they awoke to Wohlschlaeger screaming that his wife was unconscious.
Wohlschlaeger had been sleeping on the couch, and on that Monday morning he said he went into the bedroom and found his wife lying on the floor, unconscious, and her lips were already blue when he saw her.
This was not Wohlschlaeger�s first wife who died. Throughout his marriage to Seitz, he had told her and her relatives that his first wife, Lynn, died of leukemia.
Following her mother�s death, Yeoman found an old newspaper clipping that reported that Lynn Mary Wohlschlaeger died after choking on a cough drop at the age of 25.
The cause of death for Seitz was not as clear, however, as an autopsy listed the cause of death was inconclusive but that she had a series of blunt force head injuries.
�Man, I hate to say this, but I think someone murdered my sister,� Seitz�s brother Chester told 20/20.
The Alabama Attorney General has now reopened the investigation into Seitz�s death, though the former chiropractor no longer lives in the state.
Wohlschlaeger now lives in Pensacola with his sixth wife, Maggie.

South Dakota State Proves There's More Than One Way To Win, Beats Omaha By 11
South Dakota State made up for a poor shooting night with rebounding, defense, and free throws, beating Omaha 71-60 at Frost Arena in Brookings.
It was the first game for SDSU following their first conference loss of the season last Saturday at IUPUI.
Like they have lately, the Jacks were sparked offensively early by Mariah Clarin. She hit back to back baskets in the first few minutes to give SDSU a six-point lead.
But Omaha had an answer when Felicia Anderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Mavericks a five point edge after an 11-2 run.
Ericka House also came up big the UNO in the first half knocking down the 3's of her own, as the Mavs outshot the Jacks 50 to 38 percent in the first 20 minutes, leading 34-30 at the break.
In the second half, Clarin (18 points) got plenty of help at the offensive end, with Megan Waytashek (15), Steph Paluch (12), and Chynna Stevens (12) all chipping in to finish in double figures.
SDSU only shot 37 percent on the night, compared to 46 percent for Omaha.
The Jacks never did find a way to stop House, who finished with 30, but SDSU did force 20 UNO turnovers, outrebound the Mavs by 16, including 24 offensive boards, and outscore Omaha 16-4 at the free throw line.
The Jackrabbits have won 15 straight games at home.
South Dakota State (18-8/9-1) hosts Western Illinois Saturday at 4:00pm in Brookings.

Halo 4 Update is Being Cooked Up Right Now
The next title update for Halo 4 is coming soon, Spartans! While you wait, check out the rest of the points in this week's Bulletin.
A post from BS Angel went up on the Halo Waypoint blog, letting the community know about the plans for Halo 4 and giving us a look at some other Halo-centric news. Some of the highlights include a Matchmaking Playlist update, Spartan Ops news, and hints for undiscovered easter eggs in the Campaign.
BS Angel also touches a bit on the Majestic map that 343 Industries is working on, saying that everyone who's playtested it has loved it, and that it's getting lots of praise from the press. Majestic is supposed to be a small map, but one that, "is looking fabulous." We can't wait to run amok in this new playground.
A Matchmaking Playlist update is coming next week, which is presented by the newest member of the Matchmaking Systems Team, Andy Dudynsky! You might know him better as BravoMLG, one of the big names in the Halo community. He updates us on the changes made to the Team Snipers and Shotty Snipers modes, so it'd be wise to brush up on the new settings!
Then there are some hints to find some easter eggs hidden in the campaign, provided by some of the Missions Designers. And as expected, they're pretty cryptic. Chris French clues us in on an easter egg hidden on Mission: Midnight, providing the following hints:
What is it?
A congenial sight.
Where is it?
Lost in the belly of the beast.
We have no idea what that could even mean, but let us know if you've got any inklings!
Check out the rest of the update notes on the blog post itself and watch the video of Bravo being welcomed to the team. He totally sheds some tears of joy and we couldn't be happier for him!

Re: What's your fav. crock pot recipe?
Okay, I'm trying the One Dish Chicken Supper tonight...it's sitting in the crock pot at home cooking right now. Wish me luck!
ETA: I would probably change a few things next time with this.... like use cream of celery instead of cream of chicken soup. Maybe use more milk... and add some celery definitely, maybe carrots and potatoes, too. It was good, but it seemed like it needed something more.

Small ER squad hopes to make a splash in 2011
With just 15 swimmers, Eagle River's team might be lacking in numbers, but that's not dampening the spirits of senior Brenna Wheeler.
"It's more intimate because it's so small," Wheeler said of this year's squad.
Eagle River opened the 2011 swimming and diving season with a sweep over Bartlett on Friday, Aug. 26. The girls cruised to an 82-46 win while the boys, with just four swimmers, edged the Golden Bears 56-48.
On the girls side, Kaitlyn Mondl (200 freestyle), Annaliese Sorvoja (50 freestyle), Samantha Coy (100 freestyle), Sylvia Gates (500 freestyle) and Courtney Fox-Singh (100 backstroke) all turned in first-place finishes for the Wolves.
Erik Korzon (200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke), Blaise Fox-Icarro (200 IM, 100 butterfly) and Lee Hammermister (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle) recorded two wins each for Eagle River's boys.
The Wolves have a dual meet against South High on Friday, Sept. 2, at Bartlett High School at 4 p.m.
The size of the team is down from last year's 22, but third-year head coach Anna McGlocklin — last year's Cook Inlet Conference Coach of the Year — is hoping to gain a few more.
"I would love for that number to grow," she said a day before the team's first meet of the season.
Seven seniors graduated from last year's team, McGlocklin said, and two potential returners moved.
"That has hurt us a lot," she said. "It's definitely a building year for us."
Two of those seniors, Brett Krenzelok (100 free, 200 free) and Richelle Johnson (100 breast), earned state berths last season. McGlocklin said she hopes to get at least one swimmer to state this year — something she's accomplished in each of her past two seasons at the helm of Eagle River's program.
Coming into her fourth and final year of swimming, Wheeler said she's hoping to reach the finals at the conference meet. Rebekah Hunstiger is the team's other senior. Gates, a junior, makes just three upperclassmen for the Wolves.
"Half of our team is new," McGlocklin said.
Wheeler said she, Hunstiger and Gates have taken on leadership roles to fill the void left by the loss of last year's seniors.
"It's kind of different," Wheeler said of the feel of this year's young team. "It's good, just different."
Of the 12 underclassmen, seven are freshmen. Of the team's 15 total swimmers, just four are boys. But that's just enough.
"We have enough boys for a relay team, which is awesome," McGlocklin said. "We're always striving for that."
The influx of young swimmers will strengthen Eagle River's program in the future, Wheeler said.
What the team lacks in numbers, it makes up for in determination, McGlocklin said.
"We definitely have some kids that are ready to work," she said. "We've had some good practices so far."
One of McGlocklin's team goals is to see her squad improve their personal records throughout the season.
"Seeing the kids improve their time is always a great thing," she said. "It's great for me, for them, all the way around."

The blizzard travel ban in Massachusetts I blogged about was lifted yesterday after 24 hours, according to announcement on the front page state's emergency management agency.
If you are a blogger or citizen journalist who was cited, arrested or hassled by police in Massachusetts or elsewhere during the big blizzard this weekend, please let me know – I'd love to blog about what happened to you.
If you are an attorney representing a citizen journalist or blogger who is facing a fine or jail time for having driven during a weather-induced travel ban which had an exception for news media, I'd love to talk to you as well.
There was no official press release from the governor's office providing official notice of the lifting of the ban, nor, apparently, is there a superseding executive order.

CIA Director David Petraeus stepping down...
...supposedly due to extramarital affair.
Carrie Mathison is such a minx!
3:02PM EST November 9. 2012 - NBC reported Friday that CIA director David Petraeus has resigned from the CIA, citing an extramarital affair.
NBC's Andrea Mitchell said the resignation was submitted in a letter dated Friday and was accepted by the White House.
In a letter, Petraeus noted that he had been married for 37 years and had exercised "extremely poor judgment' in conducting an extramarital affair.
Petraues took over as head of the CIA in September of 2011 following his tour as head of allied forces in Afghanistan.

Klosterman Response
I Lived a CIA Conspiracy Theory
Did I accidentally force David Petraeus to resign? No. Do people believe I did? Maybe.
By Chuck Klosterman on November 13, 2012
I had an interesting weekend. Maybe you did, too. It's always a mixed bag, you know? Some Friday nights are drunken and exhilarating; other Friday nights are empty and reserved. And then, of course, there are those Friday nights when random people believe you accidentally forced the resignation of the head of the CIA.
We've all been there.
I'm not sure what I should write about the previous 72 hours of my life, or even if I should write anything at all. Technically, nothing happened. But I've been asked to "explain" how and why a certain non-event occurred, and I will try my best to do so. If you already know what I'm referring to, you will likely be disappointed by the banality of the forthcoming details. If you have no idea what I'm referring to, I will now attempt to explain what a bunch of other people desperately wanted to believe, mostly for their own amusement. It's a good story (not a great one, but a good one).
On Friday evening, I started watching a movie in my living room just after 9 p.m. This particular movie was 184 minutes long. I didn't want to be distracted, so I turned off my phone. When the film was over, my wife mentioned that she had just received an odd, alarmist e-mail from a mutual friend of ours. I subsequently turned on my phone and instantaneously received a dozen text messages that ranged from the instructional ("You're on the Internet") to the inscrutable ("This totally makes up karmically for that time you caused Billy Joel to go to rehab"). I had no idea what any of this meant (or even what it could mean). But what had transpired was this: At 9:09 p.m., the managing editor of Foreign Policy magazine had tweeted the words "interesting letter" to his 48,000 followers, along with a link to an article published in the New York Times Magazine on July 13. What happened after that is totally bizarre and stupidly predictable.
It was an honor to be involved.
First, some necessary background: Since June, I've been writing a column for the New York Times Magazine called "The Ethicist." The existence of this column predates my involvement by many years (I'm now the third person who's occupied this particular title). "The Ethicist" is structured like a conventional advice column, but that's not really what it is; it's more like a collection of nonfictional thought experiments based on questions from the public. The ongoing goal is to isolate moral dilemmas within the day-to-day experience of modern life and to examine the potential ramifications of those quandaries in a readable, objective way.
On July 13, this was one of the letters we published:
My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be "true to my heart" and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me? NAME WITHHELD
It's a compelling letter. Who it was specifically about wasn't something I even considered at the time (because these questions are supposed to be examined in a vacuum). This was my response:
Don't expose the affair in any high-profile way. It would be different if this man's project was promoting some (contextually hypocritical) family-values platform, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The only motive for exposing the relationship would be to humiliate him and your wife, and that's never a good reason for doing anything. This is between you and your spouse. You should tell her you want to separate, just as you would if she were sleeping with the mailman. The idea of "suffering in silence" for the good of the project is illogical. How would the quiet divorce of this man's mistress hurt an international leadership initiative? He'd probably be relieved.
The fact that you're willing to accept your wife's infidelity for some greater political good is beyond honorable. In fact, it's so over-the-top honorable that I'm not sure I believe your motives are real. Part of me wonders why you're even posing this question, particularly in a column that is printed in The New York Times. Your dilemma is intriguing, but I don't see how it's ambiguous. Your wife is having an affair with a person you happen to respect. Why would that last detail change the way you respond to her cheating? Do you admire this man so much that you haven't asked your wife why she keeps having sex with him? I halfway suspect you're writing this letter because you want specific people to read this column and deduce who is involved and what's really going on behind closed doors (without actually addressing the conflict in person). That's not ethical, either.
On November 9, Central Intelligence Agency director David Petraeus was forced to resign his post as result of an extramarital relationship with Paula Broadwell, his likewise married biographer. It appears that Broadwell broke into Petraeus's Gmail account on the suspicion that Petraeus was having a second affair with a third woman (and that this third woman became so alarmed she contacted the FBI). These details can be better explained elsewhere, and they obviously have nothing to do with me. But the rediscovery of this curious letter did prompt a lot of political obsessives to ask a speculative (but not implausible) question: Was the anonymous man who wrote that July 13 letter Paula Broadwell's husband?
It's important to remember that there is no evidence whatsoever that this was the case. None. It is 100 percent conjecture. The generic details in the letter fit the circumstances of the affair, and because the writer is so adamant about the government executive's import it does seem like it could feasibly apply to a man of Petraeus's stature. Other intersections were less meaningful but equally strange (for example, Broadwell and I both grew up in North Dakota).1 In fairness, it should be noted that technically the connection between the letter and Petraeus was always framed as a rumor. Nobody claimed to have proof of anything. The only problem is that rumors are now reported with the same tone and structure as hard news, and modern readers (no matter what they claim) have been trained to consume gossip and fact in the exact same way.
I went to bed on Friday very late. When I awoke on Saturday, I got the strong sense that most people aware of this theory assumed it was (probably) true. The various media reports were all roughly identical: To his credit, David Haglund of Slate was the one reporter who did attempt to immediately e-mail me for comment (but by the time I received the message he had already published the story). The Atlantic wrote a nice follow-up and noted that Slate had unsuccessfully tried to contact me, thereby defining me as "notoriously hard to get ahold of."2 There was a sidebar in the New York Daily News that compared the "Ethicist" letter to Penthouse and claimed I had advised the victimized spouse to suffer in silence, which is the polar opposite of what I told him to do. Oh well. I know how cookies crumble.
Late Saturday morning, the New York Times reinvestigated the origin of the letter and concluded it was not written by Broadwell's husband (I was not involved in that process and can't comment on what was discovered). That, in many ways, is the whole story: People believed a rumor, and then they were informed that it was a coincidence. Certainly, some goofballs continue to think this is a conspiracy, which is going to happen in every situation involving the CIA (and with most situations involving the New York Times). Outside of being discussed by strangers, my personal involvement was negligible (which is why I'm reluctant to write about it now). But here are the main questions about this business, just in case you're still curious about an imaginary controversy that was the social-media equivalent of noting how Abe Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theater and John Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln automobile manufactured by Ford:
Q: Do I know who sent the original letter? Yes and no. The New York Times still has the original e-mail and I know the guy's e-mail address but that doesn't mean much, unless I decide to befriend this dude on Facebook. It takes about 45 seconds to create a false address. The letter went through the fact-checking process when the article ran in July; the man was proven to exist and confirmed that the details in his letter were an accurate representation of his predicament. I know what he says his name is, and I don't think he's lying. But I don't know what he looks like or to whom he's married. I'm guessing he had an interesting weekend, too.
Q: When the news broke on Friday night, did I immediately think this letter was about David Petraeus? Here's my honest response I did not, until so many other people expressed such certainty that it was. I just had a gut feeling that these events were not connected (a few of the coincidences were remarkable, but the language in the letter seemed slightly off-center). That said, my gut is wrong all the time. I have learned not to trust it.
Q: What would it mean if the letter were about David Petraeus? I thought about this question quite a bit. Those speculating about the level of connection between the "Ethicist" column and the secret life of Petraeus often seemed to be working from the position that (perhaps) it was this very letter that spurred the FBI's initial investigation. And I knew that was virtually impossible. That made no sense at all. This was, at best, an ancillary relationship and a historical footnote. It was an "interesting letter," which is why I selected it in the first place. But that's all it was, even if it had been precisely what others imagined. I suppose I had some mild fear that the letter could have been planted as a creative form of blackmail against Petraeus, but that would have been impossible for me (or anyone) to anticipate.
Q: If the letter had indeed been about Petraeus (and if I had somehow known this in July), would I have answered the question differently? No. If I had to answer this letter today, I would provide an identical response.
Q: Was I contacted by the CIA or the FBI? I was not. Although I've heard about 200 jokes about Homeland.
Q: Since I openly expressed doubt about the motives of the letter writer, why did I publish this letter at all? Because my personal suspicions don't matter within the context of what I'm trying to do here. To a degree, I'm skeptical of all the letters I receive (the reason I so specifically noted that skepticism in this response was because it felt relevant to the content). People have all kinds of personal, subterranean motives for wanting their private problems analyzed in public; for the most part, those motives fall outside my purview. I'm interested in the ethical, metaphorical value of the problems themselves.
Q: How did I feel while all this was happening? I was fascinated. It was fascinating. I spent a lot of time refreshing my browser. But of course it was happening to me, so how else was I going to feel? It's weird to be inside the news. Moreover, following any event on Twitter radically amplifies the illusion of its import. It makes you believe things matter far more than they do.
Q: What can be learned from all of this? We've now reached the part of the essay where I'm supposed to write something clever and insightful and at least 51 percent true. I'm supposed to express a sentiment like "Information is only as credible as the source that reports it" or "Reality continues to remain imaginary" or "All I know is what I read in the papers." I suppose I could theoretically turn this into some dark commentary about the Internet, or about how every thought in a mediated culture becomes equal, or how nothing is ever as interesting as the sex lives of strangers, or that this situation reminded me of Karl Rove's reaction on election night, or that this situation reminded me of something that happened to me in eighth grade, or that nothing reminds me of anything (and that this realization is very, very existential).
But you know what I learned from this? Nothing. I learned nothing. It's just something that happened (and it just so happens that it happened to me). Life is crazy. But I already knew that last Thursday, and so did you.

Petraeus to testify at Benghazi hearing
Kevin Lamarque / Reuters
Former CIA Director David Petraeus will testify Thursday about the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi before the Senate Intelligence Committee, a veteran senator confirmed to NBC News Wednesday.
The Thursday hearing will be the first formal congressional inquiry into the September attack that killed U.S. Ambassador in Libya Chris Stevens, information management officer Sean Smith and security personnel Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
Petraeus, a decorated four-star general who received widespread praise for the surge strategy in Iraq, resigned as CIA director on Friday, citing an extramarital affair.
Numerous federal government officials have told NBC News that the married general had a relationship with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, 40, who authored All In, a book about Petraeus education.
Republican lawmakers have criticized the administrations evolving explanation of what triggered the Benghazi attack. Officials early on said it was a spontaneous reaction during a protest about an anti-Islamic film. Later, it was termed a planned terrorist attack.
Questions have also been raised about whether the consulate had adequate security and whether the State Department responded appropriately to requests for more protection.
Military analyst Col. Jack Jacobs (Ret.) said the sex scandal will affect the way Petraeus is questioned by Congress, because members were kept in the dark about the FBI inquiry that led to his resignation.
It will be interesting to see what tenor it takes and what the senators and congressmen, assuming he gets before both houses, have to say before talking to him. As you know, these hearings have a tendency to be less a question and answer period than it is an opportunity for the members to vent their spleen or talk about what they want to, so that part will be very, very interesting, Jacobs said.
In terms of extracting real information about what actually took place and what role the CIA had in what took place in Benghazi, I believe that investigation will determine that they had no role, that by the time the CIA could do anything, it was all over.
These violent delights have violent ends.

Obama likely to comment on Petraeus scandal
By Nancy Benac Associated Press Wed Nov 14, 2012 10:34 AM
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama was expected to make his first public comments Wednesday on the growing scandal around two of the country's most well-known generals, while lawmakers dug into the tangled tale of emails that exposed one general's career-ending extramarital affair and the other's questionable relationship with a Florida socialite. Their question: Was national security threatened?
David Petraeus, who resigned as head of the CIA on Friday after admitting an extramarital affair with his biographer, had been set to testify this week before Congress on the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in which the U.S. ambassador was killed.
Petraeus has indicated his willingness to testify, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, said Wednesday. No date for the testimony has been set, and Feinstein said the testimony will be limited to the Benghazi attacks.
The 60-year-old Petraeus, whose highly respected career as the top U.S. commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, led some to speculate on a run for president, has expressed regret over the affair with Paula Broadwell. U.S. officials say the 40-year-old Broadwell sent harassing, anonymous emails to a woman she apparently saw as a rival for Petraeus' affections. That woman, Jill Kelley, in turn traded sometimes flirtatious email messages with current Afghanistan commander Gen. John Allen, possible evidence of another inappropriate relationship.
The CIA's acting director, Michael Morell, has started meeting with top Senate intelligence officials to explain the agency's take on the events that led to Petraeus' resignation. The lawmakers are especially concerned over reports that Broadwell had classified information on her laptop, though FBI investigators say they concluded there was no security breach. Morell was expected to meet with the leaders of the House intelligence committee on Wednesday.
Obama had hoped to use Wednesday's news conference, his first since his re-election, to build support for his economic proposals heading into negotiations with lawmakers on the so-called fiscal cliff — the year-end, economy-jarring expiration of tax cuts Americans have enjoyed for a decade, combined with automatic across-the-board reductions in spending for the military and domestic programs.
But the scandal threatens to overshadow Obama's economic agenda this week, derail plans for a smooth transition in his national security team and complicate war planning during a critical time in the Afghanistan war effort.
Allen has been allowed to stay in his job and provide a leading voice in White House discussions on how many troops will remain in Afghanistan, and for what purposes, after U.S.-led combat operations end in 2014. The White House said the investigation would not delay Allen's recommendation to Obama on the next phase of the U.S. troop drawdown from Afghanistan, nor would it delay the president's decision on the matter. Allen's recommendation is expected before the end of the year.
But Obama put on hold Allen's nomination to become the next commander of U.S. European Command as well as the NATO supreme allied commander in Europe, at the request of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, until Pentagon investigators are able to sift through the 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails that involve Allen and Kelley.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday that he had "full confidence" in Allen and looked forward to working with him if he is ultimately confirmed.
The FBI decided to turn over the Allen information to the military once the bureau recognized it contained no evidence of a federal crime, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record and demanded anonymity. Adultery, however, is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Allen, 58, insisted he'd done nothing wrong and worked to save his imperiled career. He told Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that he is innocent of misconduct, according to Col. David Lapan, Dempsey's spokesman.
At a news conference Wednesday in Perth, Australia, Panetta said, "No one should leap to any conclusions" and said he is fully confident in Allen's ability to continue to lead in Afghanistan. He added that putting a hold on Allen's European Command nomination was the "prudent" thing to do.
Known as a close friend of Petraeus, Kelley, 37, triggered the FBI investigation that led to the retired four-star general's downfall as CIA director when she complained about getting anonymous, harassing emails. They turned out to have been written by Petraeus' mistress, Broadwell, who apparently was jealous of the attention the general paid to Kelley.
In the course of looking into that matter, federal investigators came across what a Pentagon official called "inappropriate communications" between Allen and Kelley, both of them married.
A senior U.S. official told The Associated Press that other senior U.S. officials who read the emails determined that the exchanges between Allen and Kelley were not sexually explicit or seductive but included pet names such as "sweetheart" or "dear." The official said that while much of the communication — including some from Allen to Kelley — is relatively innocuous, some could be construed as unprofessional and would cause a reasonable person to take notice.
That official and others who described the investigation requested anonymity on grounds that they were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly.
Kelley served as a sort of social ambassador for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida, hosting parties for Petraeus when he was commander there from 2008-10. Her and her husband's friendship with Petraeus began when he arrived in Tampa, and the Kelleys threw a welcome party at their home, a short distance from Central Command headquarters, introducing the new chief and his wife, Holly, to Tampa's elite, according to staffers who served with Petraeus.
Such friendships among senior military commanders and prominent local community leaders are common at any military base.
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers said they should have been told about the investigation earlier. Morell, who took over Petraeus' duties at the CIA, met with Feinstein and ranking Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss on Tuesday.
Asked by reporters if there was a national security breach with the Petraeus affair, Feinstein said, "I have no evidence that there was at this time."
The Senate Armed Services Committee planned to go ahead with Thursday's scheduled confirmation hearing on the nomination of Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, who is to replace Allen as commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, if Allen is indeed promoted to the European Command post.

Two interesting bits of wild speculation that I read today:
1. Is Jill Kelley being investigated for espionage? Apparently she's of Lebanese descent and has active Middle East contacts. She also asked the FBI to stop their investigation at some point this past summer. (This one's pretty wild, and I give it very little chance of being correct).
2. Did General Petraeus peddle the Administration's line on Benghazi because they had the goods on his affair and he thought it would save his job? (Probably not, but if it were true it would be a bombshell).

The investigation into Benghazi looks to be coming along nicely. It took over 8 weeks and we found out today in O'Bama's press conference that The White House instructed Susan Rice to go out and tell the information she had available at the time on the Sunday talk show circuit. At this pace they'll get to the bottom of it by the end of this century if we're lucky

Drug interactions between Cocet Plus and Mastussin DM
|Cocet Plus (acetaminophen/codeine)
|Mastussin DM (dextromethorphan/guaifenesin)
Interactions between your drugs
codeine dextromethorphan
Applies to: Cocet Plus (acetaminophen / codeine) and Mastussin DM (dextromethorphan / guaifenesin)
Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.
MONITOR: Opioids may potentiate the effects of serotonergic agents and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. The interaction has primarily been reported with the phenylpiperidine opioids (e.g., meperidine, fentanyl) and tramadol, which are known to possess some serotonergic activity, although a few cases have involved other opioids such as oxycodone, methadone, morphine, hydromorphone, codeine, and buprenorphine. Serotonin syndrome is a rare but serious and potentially fatal condition thought to result from hyperstimulation of brainstem 5-HT1A and 2A receptors. Symptoms of the serotonin syndrome may include mental status changes such as irritability, altered consciousness, confusion, hallucinations, and coma; autonomic dysfunction such as tachycardia, hyperthermia, diaphoresis, shivering, blood pressure lability, and mydriasis; neuromuscular abnormalities such as hyperreflexia, myoclonus, tremor, rigidity, and ataxia; and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Since many serotonergic agents can also cause central nervous system depression, concomitant use with opioids may result in increased sedation and impairment of judgment, thinking, and psychomotor skills.
MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised when opioids are used concomitantly with serotonergic agents such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), other antidepressants/psychotropic agents (e.g., amoxapine, buspirone, lithium, maprotiline, mirtazepine, nefazodone, trazodone, vilazodone), 5-HT1 receptor agonists (triptans), 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, cyclobenzaprine, dextromethorphan, 5-hydroxytryptophan, and St. John's wort. Patients should be monitored for symptoms of the serotonin syndrome during treatment. Particular caution is advised when increasing the dosages of these agents. If serotonin syndrome develops or is suspected during the course of therapy, all serotonergic agents should be discontinued immediately and supportive care rendered as necessary. Moderately ill patients may also benefit from the administration of a serotonin antagonist (e.g., cyproheptadine, chlorpromazine). Severe cases should be managed under consultation with a toxicologist and may require sedation, neuromuscular paralysis, intubation, and mechanical ventilation in addition to the other measures. Patients should also be advised of potentially additive central nervous system effects from these agents and to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them.

tips for
during, and
Before a Flood
To prepare for a flood, you should:
Avoid building in a floodplain unless you elevate and reinforce your home.
Elevate the furnace, water heater, and electric panel if susceptible to flooding.
Install "check valves" in sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up into the drains of your home.
Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering the building.
Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
SANDBAG how to's is available by clicking Ehow.
During a Flood
If a flood is likely in your area, you should:
Be aware that flash flooding can occur. If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground.
Do not wait for instructions to move.
Be aware of streams, drainage channels, canyons, and other areas known to flood suddenly.
Flash floods can occur in these areas with or without such typical warnings as rain clouds or heavy rain
Beware of downed power lines or broken gas lines. Report them to the local gas or electric company, police or fire department.
If you must prepare to evacuate, you should do the following:
Secure your home. If you have time, bring in outdoor furniture.
If time is available, move furniture and other movable objects to upper floors of multi-story buildings.
Leave early to avoid flooded roads. Make sure you have enough gas. Listen to the radio. Shut off the main gas valve and turn off water at the main valve if instructed to do so.
Disconnect electrical appliances.
Do not touch electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.
Do not walk through moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. If you have to walk in water, walk where the water is not moving. Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.
Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.
Watch or avoid low areas where rivers or streams may flood suddenly. Watch for washed out or undermined roadways, earth slides, etc.
Driving Flood Facts
The following are important points to remember when driving in flood conditions
Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling.
A foot of water will float many vehicles.
Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including sport utility vehicles (SUV's) and pick-ups.
Do not drive into flooded areas. If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. You and the vehicle can be quickly swept away.
Watch or avoid low areas where rivers or streams may flood suddenly. Watch for washed out or undermined roadways, earth slides, etc.
After a Flood
The following are guidelines for the period following a flood:
Listen for news reports to learn whether the community's water supply is safe to drink.
Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline, or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines.
Avoid moving water.
Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.
Stay away from downed power lines, and report them to the power company.
Return home only when authorities indicate it is safe.
Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.
Use extreme caution when entering buildings; there may be hidden damage, particularly in foundations.
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits, and leaching systems as soon as possible.
Damaged sewage systems are serious health hazards.
Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals.
Do not turn gas back on yourself. Rely on utility company crews. Don't use fresh food that has come in contact with
Do not handle live electrical equipment in wet areas. If
electrical equipment or appliances have been in contact with
water DO NOT use them until local authorities tell you they
are safe.
Do not visit disaster areas: your presence will probably
hamper rescue and other emergency
operations. Report broken utility lines to police, fire or
other appropriate authorities.
Stay tuned to the radio (EBS) for vital information.

Magic Mile Deemed Safest Track in NASCAR
Driver safety is paramount at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and that hasn't gone unnoticed by NASCAR, which presented the Magic Mile with the 2012 "Above and Beyond Award." The award was given recently as part of the NASCAR Medical Liaison Department Awards at this year's NASCAR Summit in Concord, N.C.
The award is presented to an individual or infield care center (IFCC) that not only performs their job very well, but often exceeds expectations. It is given in recognition for hard work, dedication and commitment.
Michele Robertson, the nursing director at NHMS, accepted the award on the speedway's behalf. Robertson and her staff of doctors, nurses and techs from Concord Hospital partner with the speedway to staff the care center.
"Safety is our number one priority for our fans and competitors. From NASCAR to local car club events, our track is busy daily from April through October, so we know the importance of going above and beyond when it relates to our safety procedures and staffing," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. "I'm proud of our speedway team for their hard work and the recognition by being honored by NASCAR."
According to NASCAR's criteria for the recognition, the recipient typically has four racing series at their track on race weekend. From the start of a very compact schedule until the last car is off track, the care center is always well prepared, starting well before race weekend and incorporating training at the track to include the doctors and nurses. The opportunity to see first-hand the activities that occur on- track was provided and it took the initiative to gain more information and knowledge to have a better understanding of what happens with the driver prior to the arrival at the care center.
Tickets for both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events are on sale now. They can be purchased by calling the NHMS ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 or by visiting www.nhms.com. Be sure to keep up with the latest "Magic Mile" news by logging onto the tracks Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/nhmotorspeedway and on Twitter @NHMS.

It was a big week for earnings news, with many of the large-cap technology sector companies weighing in with less-than-stellar results.
Continue Reading Below
Yahoo's (NASDAQ:YHOO) Marissa Mayer closed out her first year with the company on Monday and on Tuesday co-hosted the search-engine's first earnings call delivered via online video stream with CFO Ken Goldman.
"I'm encouraged by Yahoo's performance in the second quarter," Mayer said in a statement. "Our business saw continued stability, and we launched more products than ever before, introducing a significant new product almost every week."
But the company's numbers were lackluster, as Yahoo missed second quarter revenue forecasts and lowered its full-year and third-quarter outlook.
Wednesday's bright spot was IBM's (NYSE:IBM) better-than-anticipated report, as the Street also weighed mediocre announcements from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY). IBM reported a revenue decline for the fifth consecutive quarter, as profit fell 17% year-over-year, but the results came in ahead of expectations. Intel posted second-quarter profit that was in-line with expectations, but the company's revenue fell just shy of the Street's view, and the company cut its full-year guidance. Brian Krzanich, the company's new chief executive, touted the opportunity he saw for Intel on the horizon.
"In my first two months as CEO, I have listened to a wide variety of views about Intel and our industry from customers, employees and my leadership team and I am more confident than ever about our opportunity as a company," Krzanich said.
EBay came in a penny shy of earnings-per-share expectations, as profit fell 7.5% compared to the year-ago quarter. Revenue was in-line with expectations as its payments business, PayPal, continued its strong growth.
On Thursday Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), and Nokia Corp. (NYSE:NOK) each reported disappointing results. Microsoft earnings missed the mark on both the top and bottom line, and the Redmond, Wash.-based firm blamed its weaker-than-expected 10% increase in sales on the troubled PC market.
Google earnings failed to impress Wall Street. The company delivered earnings per share and revenue that fell below expectations, but revenue and profit grew 19% and 16%, respectively on an uptick in sales from its advertising business. The cost-per-click fell 6% in the second quarter, as more consumers used Google's search engine on mobile devices, where ads tend to cost less.
Nokia swung to a second-quarter miss, reporting a 24% revenue decline in the second quarter as sales of its mobile devices continued to slide. The Finnish company announced its newest smartphone, the Lumia 1020, last week, but Nokia still trails well behind smartphone heavyweights Apple and Samsung, as it struggles to establish a third mobile platform based on Microsoft Windows.

When you play poker for fun, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, all that matters is that you have fun. But, when you play poker for maximum profit, things are a little different. Every decision you make has to be scrutinized. Furthermore, you have to know the consequences of making poor decisions. Playing poker online for maximum profit is still fun, but it is a lot more intense experience. Here are some things you should focus on if you wish to play poker online for maximum profit.
The one thing that is absolutely essential for anyone who wishes to make the most amount of profit playing Texas Holdem or Omaha hi poker online is to have a strong, profitable poker strategy. It is not enough to just follow any poker strategy, it has to be tested and you have to know that it will make a consistent profit. Without a strong poker strategy, nothing else matters.
All successful poker players are mentally tough. You have to be able to pick yourself up after taking a few bad beats, optimistic that you will wind the next few poker hands. Now many people possess this quality, but with practice, you can develop your mental toughness so you can make the maximum amount of profit playing poker online!
Proper bankroll management is one of the concepts that will help you make the most amount of profit playing poker possible. People who play poker for maximum profit know how to manage their bankroll so they can play at the highest stakes, yet keep their bankroll safe from ruin. If you want to be a serious poker player and focus on making the most amount of profit possible, you have to learn to manage your bankroll effectively!
Playing poker for maximum profit is a little bit different than playing poker for free. When you play for maximum profit, you have to treat it like it is a job, and that your livelihood depends on it. When you play in Texas Holdem and Omaha hi online poker tournaments, you have to be 100% focused, and know the risks that you may incur if you make a poor decision. This may sound like it takes the fun out of the game, but in reality, it makes the game a lot more exciting and rewarding when you do play. Log in to your favorite online poker room or more of the poker sites you frequently play at and give real money poker a try. Once you get the feeling of what real money poker is like, you'll never want to go back to playing poker for play money again.

Microsoft Corporation (commonly referred to as Microsoft ) is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington, that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services. Its best known software products are the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, Microsoft Office office suite, and Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers. Its flagship hardware products are the Xbox game consoles and the Microsoft Surface tablet lineup. It is the world's largest software maker by revenue, and one of the world's most valuable companies. Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for Altair 8800. It rose to dominate the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS in the mid-1980s, followed by Microsoft Windows. The company's 1986 initial public offering, and subsequent rise in its share price, created three billionaires and an estimated 12,000 millionaires among Microsoft employees. Since the 1990s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype Technologies for $8.5 billion in its largest acquisition to date, and in June 2016 announced plans to acquire LinkedIn for $26.2 billion2015, Microsoft is market dominant in both the IBM PC-compatible operating system (while it lost the majority of the overall operating system market to Android) and office software suite markets (the latter with Microsoft Office). The company also produces a wide range of other software for desktops and servers, and is active in areas including Internet search (with Bing), the video game industry (with the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles), the digital services market (through MSN), and mobile phones (via the operating systems of Nokia's former phones and Windows Phone OS). In June 2012, Microsoft entered the personal computer production market for the first time, with the launch of the Microsoft Surface, a line of tablet computers. With the acquisition of Nokia's devices and services division to form Microsoft Mobile Oy, the company re-entered the smartphone hardware market, after its previous attempt, Microsoft Kin, which resulted from their acquisition of Danger Inc. The word "Microsoft" is a portmanteau of "microcomputer" and "software".

DELTA, B.C. (March 2, 2010) – North & South's Bryan Heisuer and Ben Vangoul
took gold at Sun Peaks Resort's Helly Hansen Big Mountain Battle with a time of
2:10:49, despite snowy, low-visibility conditions that caused other competitors
navigational problems.
Fifty-one teams turned up to compete at the event – the most to compete on the tour to
date – and Canada's Olympic spirit was on full display. Captains of Compost's Todd
Colliver and Robert Beaudry grabbed silver, more than four minutes later, with a time of
2:14:58. Team Jackson's Rob Garrett and Jackson Smeltzer took bronze with a time of
The blustery race day challenged the 102 competitors to an intense, big-mountain course,
designed by Sun Peak Resort's own ski patrollers. Each team was tracked using FLAIK
GPS, a unique tracking device that provided race officials with real-time data, including
ascents and descents, on each team. Hawk & Shep's Dan Shephard and Jason Hawker
stole the Fastest Hike away from the race leaders with a time of 7:44.
Heisuer and Vangoul won an all-expense-paid trip to Aspen/Snowmass where they'll
square off against other BMB winners in the final Battle in the Bowls, March 28. But
before that final showdown can occur, the Big Mountain Battle will make stops at
Revelstoke Mountain Resort, B.C. (Mar. 6); Stevens Pass Ski Area, WA (Mar. 13); and
Smugglers' Notch Resort, VT (Mar. 20); and send three more two-person teams on all-
expense-paid trips to the Aspen/Snowmass event.
Cost for the event is $75 per team and includes two Helly Hansen LIFA® base layers
valued at $45 each. For more info, please go to www.bigmountainbattle.com

Any idea who it is? Drop a comment below and the first one to correctly guess wins the DVD. We'll keep dropping clues into the post until showtime, at which point you'll have to watch the episode to find out if you were correct.
As always, Gawker's standard contest rules apply. You will be sent a message requesting your address if you were the first to guess correctly.
