pentagon metro shooting

On March 5, 2010, in World 2010, by

Tonight, two Pentagon officers were shot just outside of the Pentagon at the Metro Station serving the defense department. It occurred just over two hours ago, and it’s unclear if what the motive is at this time.

The suspect is in custody and was injured by return fire. He has been identified as John Patrick Bedell. The police do claim he is an American citizen. Quick someone on the left see if he is part of a tea party.

“The officers were emphatic about saying he was very calm, that there was no distress,” Keevill said. “He had his arms down at his pocket. We see folks come up to the Pentagon every day that have their passes in different places. He reached into his pocket. They assumed he was going to get his pass out. He came out with a gun and just started shooting.”

The officers injuries are non-life threatening.

Danny Gokey’s back, performing My Best Days Are Ahead of Me. It’s good to see him on this stage singing a song that he’s intimately familiar with, that’s perfectly suited for him. It’s a good, solid performance, and I’ve got to think his casual fans from last season that haven’t really heard this song on country radio will be pleased to discover it.
Since Ellen didn’t get a chance to judge him last season, Ryan gives her the opportunity now. “I thought you were fantastic,” says Ellen. “We’re putting you through.” Then Danny bucks for a spot on her show.
Danny relays his story about Randy Travis recommending him consider a career in country and says that conversation set him on his path to Nashville. He also says that he just found out that one of the writers of My Best Days Are Ahead of Me also lost his wife and wrote the song just few months afterward. Danny says he latched onto the song without ever knowing the story.

The McStay family is still missing. Joseph McStay, 40, and his wife, Summer, 43, went missing along with their two children, Gianna, 4, and Joseph, 3. The McStay family was last seen Feb. 4 and reported missing on the 11th.

Police in Southern California are working with Mexican authorities in the search for a missing family and poring over hundreds of hours of border security videotapes, hoping to find some clues. A vehicle belonging to the family was found abandoned near the Mexican border. The McStays’ home is in Fallbrook, an unincorporated area about 45 miles north of San Diego.

Michael McStay, Joseph McStay’s brother, fears that they may have been kidnapped.

“My gut feeling is telling me that they are being held against their will in some way,” he said.

verizon data outage

On March 3, 2010, in World 2010, by

All customers of using the Verizon wireless package are experiencing a Verizon outage throughout the nation today. The users who may be connected to the wireless network that Verizon provides will not be able to continue with their work as normal as the Verizon outage debilitates the entire countries Verizon users of their routine tasks.

The phones which are most popular with the Verizon network are the smart phones which include iPhones, Blackberries and Droids. The news from the company about the Verizon outage is that they cannot confirm a fixed time of proper network functionality but are currently in the process of working the problem out.

The Verizon outage comes just a few days after the Playstation network suffered a ‘glitch’ just a few days ago on Sunday and arouses the curiosity of its nature as it couldn’t be a mere coincidence that the networks are being disrupted so close together.

The advice from the company is that people should revert to the use of corded phones as it may help reduce the burden of a lack of connection. The Verizon outage though considered to effect the greater part of the country has left some spots in the nation untouched. Though that is the case, if you’re a Verizon user I wouldn’t recommend you relying too much on the network for a day or two.

Verizon is one of the largest wireless networks in the United States of America and if their coverage map were to be seen it would show a very few white spots in the country where Verizon wireless connections are not available. I can imagine many a businessmen loosing hair over this predicament.

Eighteen-year-old knuckleballer Eri Yoshida

, the first woman drafted by a Japanese team, was in Fort Myers today to meet the man who inspired her to pitch.

Back in November 2008, Tim Wakefield said he hoped to see her pitch one day. Today, after Yoshida watched his side session, he returned the favour:
She spun a couple, but for the most part, it was very good. She was able to take the spin out of a lot of them and they had quite a lot of movement on them. … I had seen film of her and I was pretty impressed at the film. But to see her in person and to actually see her throw, I was very impressed with how she threw and the knowledge she had on the knuckleball, because she told me she was self-taught. This is the first time she’s actually ever had coaching throwing a knuckleball. I kind of know where she’s at, because I was there when I first started throwing — nobody knew what to do.
Yoshida:
I never thought I could ever feel this happy.

This was a shocking video for the entire people who believed him as a real spiritual person for all these years and revealed his hidden stuffs. The video clip triggered many questions about him, his background and real life style. Its really hard to believe any Guru these days. The video clearly explains that Nithyananda is a fraud like most other spiritual culprits, also the video shows Nithyanandha taking drugs and sleeping with the actress. Already there were several news regarding Nithyananda charging too much for spiritual retreat and camps. Now the recent video had caused a terrible heart break to most of his followers. Its high time people stop believing in such fraud people anymore.

Today is the 174 anniversary of Texas’ Independence from Mexico.
In schools today, projects are planned at the fourth and seventh grade levels — the grades in which Texas History is taught.
“Texas Independence Day is a critical part of the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) for fourth and seventh grade Texas History,” said Stephen Foster, instructional specialist in social studies for the Comal Independent School District. “At the fourth grade level, you’ll have teach

ers doing more of the crafts-oriented projects. With the seventh grade, you get more of the intellectual level (historic figures and places),” in the classes, he said.
Statewide, the standardized testing of students on Texas history has waned, though not in the standards for the curriculum, Foster said.
The Texas Assessment of Academic Skills, or TAAS test, the precursor to the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, or TAKS, the current standardized test in the state, emphasized more competency in Texas history and historic figures in the eighth-grade year.
Now the TAKS test “is more U.S. history, just discussing Texas’ role in western expansion and slavery,” Foster said.
On March 2, 1836, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed at Washington-on-the-Brazos by 59 signatories — Sam Houston along with 58 other representatives.
Like the United States Declaration of Independence, the Texans’ declaration contains a statement on the nature of government, a list of grievances, and a final declaration of independence, according to the Handbook of Texas Online. The welfare of the state of Coahuila had taken precedent over that of Texas, they argued. Also listed among their grievances was that the Mexican government had failed to provide a system of public education, trial by jury and freedom of religion. The declaration even charged that the Mexican government had incited native populations — the Comanche and other tribes — to massacre the settlers from the United States.
Houston convinced the signers that the declaration would give them some basis of legality and would help draw more help from the United States
Today, also happens to be the birthday of Sam Houston. He was born on March 2, 1793 in Virginia. He is the only person in U.S. history to be governor of two states, Tennessee and Texas, a U.S. Senator and the president of a foreign nation — the Republic of Texas.

dr. seuss quotes

On March 2, 2010, in World 2010, by

On this day in history, in the year 1904, Theodor Geisel, best known to the world as Dr. Seuss, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is hard to know at the time if he knew how he felt about green eggs and ham, but we can safely assume that he wouldn’t have liked them, Sam I am.

Under his pen name, Geisel published over 60 children’s books that were made popular by their imaginative, rhyming, trisyllabic meter-ness. His most famous include The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. As you know, his work as been adapted into several feature-length films. Chuck Jones directed animated versions of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Horton Hears a Who! in the late 60s and early 70s. Two live action adaptations — the Jim Carry led Grinch and Mike Myers led Cat in the Hat — were released in 2000 and 2003 respectively, with a CGI Horton Hears a Who! hitting theaters in 2008. Needless to say, the man has had quite an impact on several generations of young readers.

As part of the Read Across America project, today is recognized as National Read Across America Day, an observance of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. First Lady Michelle Obama is at the Library of Congress today doing a little Seuss reading, and children across the nation will be celebrating by reading old Dr. Seuss favorites. Or skipping school and heading to the Dr. Seuss Landing at Islands of Adventure in Orlando. That’s what I’d be doing. But since I can’t make it to Orlando, I might as well dust off my copy of Green Eggs and Ham and have a little reading time, followed by nap time on the carpet. Then snack. Oh, the memories.

Anyway, I tell you that story to tell you this. In honor of Dr. Seuss’ 106th birthday, the folks at Half Day Today have created this loving rap video based on the rhyme scheme of his books. It also features classic rap themes like hot ladies, gratuitous cursing, flashy environmentally-friendly cars and literacy. I know that Theodor Geisel was a fan of all these things, and would be proud of their effort. It’s called “Wubble Down,” and it can be seen below.

Susan Dey

The Partridge Family will be the next big family that will be featured in NBC’s The Today Show “Great TV Families reunited”. But… where’s Susan Dey?

Susan Dey isn’t joining the rest of her former castmates as the Partridge Family reunites.

“Susan Dey has had, at least in public, a personal life free of the problems that so often plague child stars.

Dey was a big television star (and the object of adolescent lust) during her run as Laurie Partridge and then went on to even bigger stardom in her role as Judge Grace Van Owen on the 1980′s hit drama LA Law. While Dey was a popular figure among the boys (and girls) while on The Partridge Family, her role on LA Law made her a darling of the critics.

After her run on LA Law ended in the early 1990′s, however, Dey has maintained a relatively low profile. Dey’s most recent television role, in fact, came in 2004 when she appeared on two episodes of Third Watch.”

France’s interior minister says the death toll from a violent storm that lashed western France with hurricane-force winds has risen to 47. At least six people died in other countries.

Most deaths are concentrated in France’s Vendee region on the Atlantic coast.

Minister Brice Hortefeux told France-Info radio on Monday that the number of dead would “doubtless” increase as more than 9,000 rescue workers make house-to-house visits.

The storm, named Xynthia, blew into France early Sunday, flooding ports, destroying homes and leaving some 1 million households without electricity.

President Nicolas Sarkozy is visiting the region Monday.
