Thank you for sharing your child with us!
NO SCHOOL TODAY, The Braymer C4 School District will not have school today, Friday Jan. 15th. Due to predicted winter weather conditions.
***Winter Weather Alert*** Due to area road conditions the Braymer C4 School District will not have in school classes tomorrow Jan. 5th. Classes will be held online in a virtual setting. Students should check emails, goggle classroom and or seesaw for classwork. The Vo-Tech bus and Vo-Tech classes will run as normal.
Due to a rising number of COVID-19 cases within the community, including confirmed cases impacting staff and students, the Braymer C-4 School district will be extending virtual education for all students through Friday, November 20th. Thanksgiving break will be a break from instruction and will continue as scheduled, beginning Saturday November 21st and continuing through Sunday, November 29th. The district currently plans to return to face-to-face instruction beginning Monday, November 30th.
INSTRUCTION: Virtual instruction will continue through the use of Google Classroom and Seesaw. Students are expected to be logging into their digital classrooms daily, checking for new work and completing assignments. The majority of students have done a great job over the past week keeping up with online school work. Please keep in mind that students are receiving grades during this time impacting both the earning of credits toward graduation (grades 9-12) and promotion to the next grade level (grades K-8).
BUILDING USE & EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: At this time the use of building facilities is being postponed for all activities other than varsity athletics. This includes postponing the use of building facilities for all outside organizations. Junior High basketball is currently postponed through Friday, November 6th.
Due to a positive COVID-19 test in the third grade class, the third grade class will continue on-line instruction through November 10th and will be able to return to school on November 11th. If you have any quarantine questions please contact the Caldwell County Health Department. At this time face to face instruction for all other grades is scheduled to return November 6th.
Bobcat Family, Just a reminder that school will be dismissed at 11:00 am today. Tue. Oct. 27th
Due to a positive COVID-19 test with a faculty member and specific staff needing to quarantine, the Braymer C4 School District will move to on-line instruction starting tomorrow afternoon, October 26th, and continuing through Thursday, November 5. The scheduled return date for students will be Friday November 6, 2020. We are asking that all students attend tomorrow morning as normal to pick up devices and or assignment packets as well as get instructions from classroom teachers. School will be dismissed at 11:00 am. No Food Service will be provided tomorrow.
Because this particular case is related to staffing and there is no known direct exposure to students, extra-curricular activities including practices and games will continue as normal. This is subject to change should the situation change.
Vo-Tech will run as regularly scheduled.
Braymer C4 School District Families:
It is hard to believe, but some weather forecasts are calling for the possibility of accumulating snow next week. Due to changes in the weather "school make up day" rules we can now cancel face to face classes due to inclement weather while still holding classes on-line. This would mean that some inclement weather days would not have to be made up at a later time in the school year. The on-line class days are defined as "Distance Learning". Inclement weather determinations will continue to be made as in the past. The difference will be in how school cancelation days are to be defined; "No School, All classes canceled" or "No School, with Distance Learning". The school district will communicate the type of day along with the inclement weather information. In the event of a "No School, with Distance Learning" day, students will need to login to their seesaw and or google classrooms to get that day's assignments.
Check out https://www.braymerbobcats.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=224 for media outlets for up to date inclement weather information.
We greatly appreciate your continued support of the Braymer C4 School District.
Braymer School District Administration.
Bobcat Family,
Just a reminder that on Friday Oct. 9th school will dismiss at 12:30 pm. The Buses will run their regular bus routes at that time. The Homecoming parade will start at 2:00 pm followed by a Pep rally on the football field. The Homecoming Football game vs. the Aggies of Norborne-Hardin Central will begin at 7:00 pm. Go Bobcats!
We have received word today that during last Friday night's Football game a member of the visiting team was contagious with and then tested positive for Covid-19. Working in coordination with the Caldwell County Health Department the members of the Braymer Varsity Football team that played in the game will be under a 14 day quarantine. This means that this Friday's Varsity Football Game at Keytesville has been canceled.
Dear Bobcat Family,
September 5th update to the current Covid-19 situation. Working in coordination with the Caldwell County Health Department, our investigation information has been updated. As of today all of the 8th grade students, that had been potentially affected are now clear to resume regular "in school" classes. This means that the 8th grade class can attend in-class instruction starting Tuesday September 8th. Additionally all Jr. High sports and activities can also continue as regularly scheduled starting today. Thank you for your continued understanding and support of the Braymer C4 School District. Have a great weekend and Go Bobcats!
September 4th update to the current Covid-19 situation. Working in coordination with the Caldwell County Health Department, our investigation has determined that the Pre-School, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades will be allowed to return to school on Tuesday September 8th for in class instruction.
The investigation has also determined that a cohort of 8th grade students has potentially been exposed as well. We are still waiting on results from health officials to determine the extent of the exposure. This means, at this time, an 8th grade cohort of students will continue to receive classroom instruction on-line until we have further information. Only the affected 8th grade students will have to follow the current quarantine guidelines. The 8th grade students determined to be unaffected will be allowed to return for "in school" instruction on Tuesday September 8th. Affected 8th grade students will be contacted directly by a school official. This also means that until further information can be gathered about the status of the 8th grade cohort, Jr. High Softball and Jr. High Football face to face activities have been suspended for students currently quarantined. Activities for students not in quarantine may be impacted based on students available for practice/games.
We continue to encourage the wearing of masks for students and faculty, especially as we enter the fall allergy season where symptoms like sneezing or congestion are present in a number of viruses and allergy symptoms. If you believe your student may be sick it is important to keep them home until they are symptom free. Only by everyone doing their part can we limit the spread of not just Covid-19 but other viruses as well. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and support during this difficult to navigate time. Go Bobcats!
Due to a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 within the Braymer C-4 School District, we will be temporarily closing Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 8th grades for Friday September 4th, 2020. The district will work with the Caldwell County Health Department to conduct contact tracing and determine who we can safely bring back into the building starting Tuesday, September 8th. Staff and students determined to have been in "close contact" (CDC guidelines) with known positive cases will be on a 14 day quarantine from school. Students placed in quarantine will move to virtual (online) education starting Tuesday, September 8th and continuing for the duration of their quarantine. As has been the case throughout this pandemic, this is a constantly evolving situation, and the Braymer C-4 School District is committed to safely providing face-to-face education as much as possible. At this time there is no known close contact within the 7th grade, high school, or elementary grades 3-6. All extracurricular activities will continue as planned for students in grades 9-12. All students whose classes are closed for tomorrow, Friday September 4th, will not be allowed to participate or attend extracurricular activities including Friday night's football game. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this difficult time.
Just Announced:
Starting tomorrow, September 3, 2020 students of the Braymer C4 School District will be able to receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost. This is a special offering as part of the COVID-19 CARES ACT. This current no cost food service program will be offered until December 31, 2020. Families do not need to do anything to take advantage of this service. Current lunch balances will be held until regular food service resumes. Go Bobcats!
Braymer C4 School District 2020-2021 Back to School Plan
Parents, Guardians and Patrons:
As we begin to lay out plans for returning to school, we would like to first say that the Braymer C4 School District needs your help with returning to and maintaining face-to-face instruction. We know that the following "Back to School" plan will only have a chance of success if everyone is willing to do their part. It is our goal to have school in a normal face-to-face setting with some modifications. We understand there are varied views and beliefs on what should be done during this time. The fact remains that as a public school if we have a student or staff member become infected with the Covid-19 virus, the daily running of the school district will be altered, and the more positive cases we have the less likely it becomes for the district to maintain face-to-face instruction. Because of this, we are all in this together and we need your help to do what we can to keep people disease-free.
Visit Braymer C4 School District Web Site to see the current district plan:
https://www.braymerbobcats.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=241
Proposition P.R.I.D.E. is approved by Voters!!!!

Just when you thought your 'Performance shoes of the year' list and/or your sneaker rotation were safe, three stripes decides to make things a little interesting by dropping some heat on the industry right before year's end.
The upper reminds me of the adidas Top 10, but it also has a TS Creator vibe to it. The upper looks like it is comprised of multiple layers, a majority of which is a knitted upper. The padding around the ankle collar looks super comfortable. The midsole contains full length Boost which should make for an ultra cushioned ride.
Finally, the outsole is made up of an aggressive herringbone pattern in order to keep up with today's fast paced game. As you can see, adidas is offering multiple colorways of both the mid and low top versions of the Marquee Boost which should cater to all types of players. The Marquee Boost will release on December 1st on adidas.com and select adidas retailers. The mid top version is priced at $130 and the low top comes in at $120.

View Full Version : Hostage shooting?
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20050307/ap_on_re_eu/italy_iraq_hostage
That's just one of many links I'm sure you can find on the web detailing about how Giuliana Sgrena, who was abducted on Feb 4th in Iraq, had her car fired upon as it went through a US checkpoint. Sgrena was injured, and the intelligence agent who freed her was killed trying to shield her from the friendly fire.
While the event is undoubtably tragic, Sgrena - who who works for the communist newspaper Il Manifesto - is not claiming she might have been a target of US assassination because the "Americans do not like it when terrorists are negotiated with."
In my opinion (read, Sparafucile, opinion not fact) the car was probably speeding through a checkpoint after being waved down to stop. The marines, who are constantly attacked this way by suicide bombers, shot at the car to disabile it or take it out (try shooting an M16 accurately at a speeding vehicle) and unfortunately killed someone. I know, I know. Sgrena claims they were driving at a "normal speed" (which, for Italians could be 140km/hr). I know she says she saw nothing to ask for her car to stop despite a "checkpoint" being there to stop at.
And now she's spouting all sorts of anti-American rhetoric, claiming she was the target of an assassination. Please.
You can hate the politics of the American government. But don't try to pin this crap on soldiers who are just doing what they are told to do (being in Iraq) and protecting themselves from suicide bombers.
I'm sure you Bush/US haters will all take her side for no other reason that it being one more thing against the US, but I wanted to post my thoughts here.
Flame on.
Kingwillhe
So where's the car?
Crazyeelboy
The reports I have seen indicate that it was her captors that came up with the idea that the Americans would try to murder her.
Oh, she has said several times her captors tried to warn her the Americans might kill her.
Ah, I see. So let me get this straight. The guys who kidnapped me, are telling me to watch out for their enemy. I see how this works.
Wait, no I don't.
If I could ever master posting pictures to this forum, I would post a picture of the car. The rounds went into the engine block. The windshields weren't even busted. She alleges more than 400 rounds were fired (how she could figure that out is beyond me) - the car doesn't bear this claim out.
Regarding the "hostage" - there are some questions now about whether she ever really was a "hostage." Plus, a million bucks was allegedly paid for her release (encouraging more kidnappings).
Talk about defensive behaviour, all other posts I've read on this site and others have been mindful that the facts in this awfull incident will probably dribble out over time.
You guys are doing this on purpose right? You're not really this insecure are you?

The facts WILL come out over time. We're commenting on her statements now. This is a forum. We're discussing it in the age-old forum tradition. As far as I know, this isn't a previously discussed and smashed into the ground topic like many others (read: WMD). God forbid a new subject is touched on, right King?
yankee@moscow
The bottom line is:
If you want to play fancy pants reporter in a war zone, you better have your sh*t in a pile or you could get yourself killed! The enemy is not easily identified. Any car speeding toward a check point IS the enemy! Get a grip lady! It's a freak'n war zone as in those guys are soldiers that are trained to KILL people who speed toward them when told to stop. She's lucky they weren't successful!
My company has tons of people in Iraq. They wouldn't think of doing what she did in a million years. If they did, they'd expect EXACTLY what happened to her or worse. Surely this lady can't be this stupid?:confused:
This story is getting stranger and stranger. The chick is now claiming that the real "liberators" were her captors because they're fighting imperialist/capitalist Americans... I wonder how much of the million dollar ransom she's getting.
Fa-Q!
You hit the nail on the head, yankee. I'm in logistics and if I had a death wish, I could be on the next plane outta Moscow to a job in Iraq making over $1000/day. Hell, they'd even give me a gun to carry to protect myself. Fact is, that's a war-zone and making that kind of cash to pay for a nice funeral for myself just doesn't appeal to me. It's horrific what goes on in a war zone and it's sickening how many people think because they're civilians, they're immune to bullets. Look how many people have been kidnapped and beheaded, how many innocent civilians die by misguided bombs from both sides. It's a war and that woman should just thank god that she got outta there alive. Let her go back home and shoot off her commie trap to the applause of her fascist, anti-democratic supporters. Bet she won't be standing on any soap boxes in Central Baghdad.

next think you'll be equating doctors in war zones and contractors.
According to this news article from last May, the doctors were smart enough to get the hell out while they could, again, because there is a WAR going on:
Doctors flee Iraq
Baghdad - Iraq's top surgeons, neurologists and other doctors are fleeing Baghdad, bullied into exile by a growing gang of kidnappers seeking hefty ransoms from the country's affluent elite.
"The kidnapping of doctors has risen over the past few months, forcing the best practitioners to leave Iraq and settle in neighbouring countries to protect themselves," said health ministry public affairs officer May Yassin.
May Yassin confirmed that some of the country's most qualified specialists had been abducted recently and released in exchange for ransoms ranging between 1 000 and 10 000 dollars. "They were all kidnapped in their offices," she said.
Many of the country's most renowned neurologists, cardiologists, gynaecologists, emergency surgeons and plastic surgeons have been kidnapped in recent months.
"Several dozen doctors or their children were abducted, especially in Baghdad," Yassin said, although no official figure was available.
Even those who have so far been spared the ordeal of being abducted are starting to pack their bags. Two leading plastic surgeons, one allergist and a well-known eye doctor have already left the country.
Interim deputy health minister Amr al-Khuzai has called for help.
"This phenomenon does not only threaten doctors but the whole future of our country. We contacted the coalition and the interior ministry so that they take measures to protect our doctors, especially when they are in their clinics," he said.
"We cannot sit idly by and simply watch our doctors leave one after the other. Those who are leaving are the best ones. It is absolutely vital we find a way to protect them," said Dr Mohammad al-Hassuni, a ministry official dealing specifically with the issue........................
i'm not sure how that relates to a journalist trying to do their job.
ghost 6-3
Everyone is acting like this is the first shooting incident that has happened over there - this is one of hundreds of incidents, and only gets coverage because an Italian Special Agent died. Western contractors, Iraqi friendlies, etc. have all come under fire.
One of the biggest problems is that the US forces refuse to announce procedures for stopping vehicles - for fear of having the procedures used against them by terrorists. This makes it nearly impossible for people, driving in the dark, possibly along unfamiliar roads, to know they are being warned - and not attacked.
This may spur US forces to improve their road-block procedures. Italy is too important an ally to piss off now.
For sad pictures of a previous incident, try http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article7784.htm
Terribly disturbing but not surprising photos. Ghost, think you got the wrong message. I tried to imply the point that there are daily civilian casualties in Iraq and that this journalist should thank her luck stars that she made it out alive. She encountered the real, every day threat of death that the poor people of Iraq are forced to face. Ned, while I agree that the job of the journalist is an endlessly important and noble one, I'd like to point out that war-correspondents die courageously as do soldiers. I simply believe that a war-correspondent should know the risks that he/she are taking when entering a war zone. This particular incident may have resulted by a mistake of the soldiers, by US policy, military policy, who knows... My only point is to come out of a war zone crying "Those bad Americans almost shot my ass off!" is damned idiotic. Unfortuately, mistakes happen during a war. It's the children that I feel sorry for most of all, not the jouranlists who take the crappy job to go try to achieve personal glory by taking photos of casualties. She made her own choice. Lucky for her she lived to tell about it.
No one is saying that the incident was "just". It was "just stupid"! The saying "War is hell" didn't just sprout up for no reason. You'd think that a reporter would know this stuff and not be so stupid as to coerce US Army soldiers into firing on them!
It's a shame that any non-combatants are killed in wars. Don't you think that the fact that non-combatants ARE killed because they ARE confused as being the enemy would make a knowledgable reporter think, "Hmmm, maybe I should look like I'm a reporter and not a speeding attacking terrorist car bomber?"

Certainly the Italian journalist bears blame for going to Iraq in the first place. As the two French journalists, Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot, who were kidnapped and held for some months said, when asked what they would tell their fellow journalists about going to Iraq: "Don't go". There are, they said, more than enough Iraqi freelancers to do the job. Going there is folly.
And yankee - the Washinton Post had a nice story today roadblock troubles - even Western contractors being fired on, not speeding towards the road blocks, but driving at 5mph with their IDs extended out the window.
I'm not criticizing the soldiers, or saying war isn't hell. It's just probably time for better road block training and policy. This is obviously a thing that has no standard procedures and no training policy, as it wasn't forseen by the military command (i.e. Rumsfeld). We may need to better inform the Iraqi public, even if it may slightly increase the risk to our own soldiers.
Nothing like a healthy dose of condescension to make me lose interest.
Wish I had known that's what it took 100 threads ago.
1- there's a checkpoint coming. let's slow down and behave good. we don't want to be taken as enemies.
2- there's a checkpoint coming. let's speed up and get killed.
how stupid can you be not to make the right choice? unless an american checkpoint doesn't look like one at all. perfectly possible.
then there are the agent(s) who survived (don't know how many were there) who work for the government and not for the communist press which wants to trash the americans. do they have a version of the story? anyone knows?
one report (french and arabic) stated they had passed through 4 checkpoints already?
Originally posted by crom
That's technically possible, however - I pose this question: If they had "passed" through 4 American checkpoints why didn't they mention they had a recently rescued hostage and request a military evacuation and/or escort?? Seems a bit odd that security agents would not make such a request in a war zone they did not control.

Well, snakes alive! Who ever would think you might?
You'd sooner cave your own head in with a baseball bat than admit that a single thing has ever been done wrong by a United States Citizen.
PS - Congratulations on getting the Bulgarian today. Another great job done, Bush will award that soldier a medal.
Ya know, in 'Nam, you could get away with this stuff a lot easier. Doesn't anyone else notice that? Everything that happens in Iraq is just reported so huge. I've never seen anything else like it. Is there nothing else going on in the world?
Am I the only one that thinks that the Iraqi war has been over for some time now? It seems to me that the war is now between terrorists and everyone else in Iraq. The Iraqis are fighting the terrorists and the coalition forces are fighting the terrorists. Hell, the freak'n war is over. When the people from the country you invaded are fighting as your willing allies, doesn't that mean that the war is over? I mean, I'm not crazy am I? WTF?

There has to be a Yin for every Yang. Where there is someone who will leap at every attempt, there must be someone who will never leap at all.
Sparafucile, I am not criticizing the American soldiers not because they can do no wrong. If you read my post (and it is crystal clear you didn't bother) you would realize I was criticizing the lack of clear procedures for manning and controling checkpoints.
Lets be serious, we did not expect the war we are fighting to develop as it did. Men are given outlines on manning checkpoints, but none of the training in various ways of handling them, different dangerous situations, etc. They are set up in different places, manned by different troops, all the time. Eventually US forces will develop a standardized system for depolying and manning roadblocks which will also protect soldiers manning the positions from attack. However, our current procedure of classifying the whole thing only makes the whole situation a disaster waiting to happen.
Indeed, if it were as easy as seeing a big, brightly lit American road block, well, marked, with plenty of warning signs, speed bumps, gates, etc all about, why have so many parents risked their children's lives trying to run them (dozens of women and children have been killed at these road blocks). Is it because they are not as clear as we think? Is it because insurgents also set up road blocks to kidnap and kill security forces? Remember, we are a long, long way from having control of the country (remember the Army Chief of Staff reccommended over twice the force Rumsfeld deployed, and saw his carreer ended for saying so).
>> Lets be serious, we did not expect the war we are fighting to develop as it did. <<
Why not? Let's be honest, you have a Military High Command with recent field experience of fighting the same leaders of the same country. How much more would you want to go on than that?
It's not me you have to convince, Ghost. It's the Italians and the Bulgarians. My own Prime-Minister has spinelessly collaborated in enquiries exhonerating the US Military from blame in shooting the RAF out of the sky. So Britain will probably carry on supporting you, unless you actually manage to shoot Mr Hoon at point-blank range on live TV. But for the others... it seems there is a lot of explaining to do. The American Ambassador in Rome has been summoned for the third time to meet Berlusconi. Being summoned it is not, I believe, a good thing.
Seems the Italians have now taken the car for forensic tests, and they are treating this as a murder enquiry.
one point I haven't seen brought up here is the fact early on in the 'occupation' ther were many reports of false checkpoints being set up by 'dissidents' and there were many deaths, and kidnappings.
Perhaps this thought was in mind in not slowing down? when there is a blaze of lights pointing at you, nobody is to know who is behind them.
It's the US's controlled war zone, so in the end the US will bear the responsibility - however, as someone who has been through several armed "checkpoints" in Belfast, East Berlin and elsewhere - rule number one is OBEY all commands - if you don't deadly force is authorized. End of story - surely the Italian security agents knew this. They also probably realized that the checkpoints are manned by very skittish young men whose main task is to protect themselves and their comrades from any attacks. Unfortunately, in a war zone, it's shoot first and ask questions later. It's a shame that the Italian journalist decided to put herself at risk and travel to an area she was told it wasn't wise to go to - she was "captured" (as predicted) and people put their lives at risk because of her selfish desire for "glory."
There's a reason why the military recommends journalists follow certain guidlines in a war zone - safety and security. She is the ultimately the one responsible for ignoring these rules and guidelines.
yes, but she has a responsibility to find out what's going on and not simply pass on the tripe dished out at military briefings.
there are cowboys (and girls) among journalists; there are also serious people trying to broadcast what's going on. indeed, taking the government's word at face value played a big role in iraq turning out the disaster it is.
i'm not sure whether the italian journalist was sincere or a wannabe star but i get pretty tired of people sitting back taking pot-shots at reporters and determined to believe their government no matter what.
you guys would be solid pillars in the putin regime.
Ned,
As the French journalist hostages said, there are more than enough Iraqi and other Arab journalists in the area to check on the situation. I assume you are not implying that only Western journalists, with happy translator in tow, could possible get the story out. Let AP, Rueters, and other Arab stringers (many educated in the west, and, amazingly, even intellegent) do the job, and let the hot dog western journalists hang if they insist on taking the risks (or at least, don't pay $10m to fee them).
i don't agree with any ransoms being paid.
i think everything else you've written is rot: you imply racism where none was suggested; and a journalist's job when reporting is to see/find things out first hand.

We can take pot-shots at reporters and at governments. Not believing the reporters doesn't mean you believe what the government says.
My point on her is she was working in a zone that was "no go" and the reason the military doesn't want non-combatants there is because they put themselves in danger and eventually put servicmen in danger when they have to go rescue their butts. The reporters are already getting way more access than in previous conflicts.

"The left-leaning Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported yesterday that Mr. Calipari decided not to use available escort protection from the elite commandos who protect Italy's Baghdad embassy.
Instead, he rented an inconspicuous pickup trick to recover Miss Sgrena, wrote La Repubblica's top investigative reporter, Giuseppe D'Avanzo.
"In Iraq, the United States makes the rules and the Italian ally also must respect them. If it wants to break them, it must do so with a double game and some crafty tricks," Mr. D'Avanzo wrote.
Italian magistrates have opened an inquiry into the killing and are arranging for the truck to be flown to Italy for examination by ballistic experts, judicial sources said. The magistrates also have obtained from the U.S. military the cellular phone that Mr. Calipari was carrying when he was shot.
Analysis of calls logged on the cellular phone might allow investigators to determine the speed at which the vehicle was traveling when U.S. troops opened fire on it, the sources say.
Mel Sembler, U.S. ambassador to Italy, reiterated Washington's position in a 45-minute meeting with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi last night, diplomatic sources said.
Robert Maginnis, a retired Army officer and military analyst, said Rome should have done a better job coordinating Miss Sgrena's exit once the Italians negotiated her release.
"It seems to me that the Italian secret service considers this a James Bond movie in Baghdad," Mr. Maginnis said. "They're driving around at night picking up a journalist who has been kidnapped and pretending they can get through a phalanx of checkpoints along the deadliest road in all of Iraq without being detected, much less shot up."
The Army's 3rd Infantry Division, which last week resumed command of Baghdad operations after participating in the 2003 invasion, said the soldiers had warned the approaching car repeatedly before opening fire.
According to the division, the patrol attempted to warn the driver to stop by hand and arm signals, flashing white lights, and firing warning shots in front of the car."

no, but when the washington times, a know shit-rag for the right, is doing a hatchet job, i'm not going to be giving it much credence.
But the article was based on a left-leaning rag - plus the Washington Times has good sources inside the Pentagon (doesn't mean they're always right)...
PS - You win for being the first to post the predicted "Washington Times" equals sh&t prize... ;)
'Tis true, Koba PM'd me and promised me someone would comment on the source before the day was out.
Ned Kelly,
I am not implying racism. I was implying elitism. By your logic, the Jerusalem Post should be sending reporters to Jenin to get the 'real story'. Moshe Schwartz, wandering around the Palestinian refugees looking for a story is no more sensible than an Italian reporter wandering around Falluja, asking people how they feel. A bit of common sense seems to be lacking, and others too often pay for it.

I am critical of the U.S. because it has to be held to a higher standard. Yet, I don't believe the U.S. soldiers tried to murder her. I think those guys just want to stay alive.
The whole point of a checkpoint is NOT to disguise it, so everyone sees and stops. right. i meant to suggest the checkpoint wouldn't look like one in their eyes as a possible explanation for speeding and running away. unlikely maybe, but sometimes in a war zone confusion takes over, specially among non-military people.
Keep in mind that the Bad Guys also set up false checkpoints (see today's assassination of a Baghdad police chief.

����� In the May 9, 1990, issue of Worldwide News, Tkach even aligned himself with Garner Ted Armstrong�s incorrect teachings on Passover and the Sabbath.� (1) Tkach maintains that the �Last Supper� of the Messiah was not the Passover with a lamb.� Mark 14:12 (see RSV) disproves this heresy.� (2) He also says that the Old Testament Passover was kept at the end of the 14th, not the beginning of the 14th.� See our article, �Passover, 14th or 15th?� which proves that Passover, Old and New Testament, is on the beginning of the 14th day of the first sacred month.� (3) Finally, Mr. Tkach concludes that the day begins, not at sundown, but at dark!� Garner Ted Armstrong�s Church of God, International, in 1985 stated that the day begins in the evening, a nebulous indefinable period of time according to them.� Our article, �When Does the Sabbath Begin?� in our book, Biblical Holy Days, proves scripturally that the day begins at sundown.
����� Previously, Tkach�s reinterpretation of the sacrifice of the Messiah and meaning of the Passover bread, and watering down of the doctrine of healing, caused some �conservatives� to leave the Worldwide organization.
����� Now, Worldwide Church leader Tkach has stated that interracial marriage is not a sin.� Furthermore, in line with church policy since at least 1972, Tkach has authorized work, on the Sabbath, of construction workers and contractors at the church�s Big Sandy, Texas, college campus.� He claims such work is an �ox in the ditch� and necessary to finish construction so that the enlarged campus can open on time for the fall 1990 school year.
����� The truth is, Biblical principles forbid interracial marriage.� Hiring contractors to pour cement on the Sabbath is breaking the Commandment.� Mr. Tkach has pushed the ox into the ditch.
����� Some, reacting to the �liberal� tendencies of the Worldwide Church of God, have aligned themselves with offshoot �conservative� groups.
����� One such new church is headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma.� According to their teachings, Herbert Armstrong was a modern Zerubbabel, an end-time Elijah or John the Baptist.� He supposedly got the church �back on track� doctrinally after Garner Ted Armstrong was expelled in the late 1970s.� All HWA�s doctrinal teachings prior to his death are said to be 100% inspired and we must follow them.
����� When I spoke with a minister of this new group, I pointed out that Armstrong consistently followed liberal and anti-Biblical teachings on divorce and remarriage and Pentecost from 1974 to his death in 1986.� The minister replied that Mr. Armstrong ruled on these subjects prior to his death and that was good enough for him.� He doesn�t have time to study such topics.� This man told me that my marriage to Shirley (we were both baptized believers and virgins when we married in 1972) is not binding for life, and if one of us deserts the other or leaves the church, the other would be free to remarry.� I personally take great offence with such heretical statements.� I wasn�t surprised to learn that this man is a �D&R� case himself.� He says he has no need to study the marriage issue, because Herbert Armstrong ruled on it.� Isn�t I Thessalonians 5:21 in his Bible?
����� Some of the marks of cults are (1) non-thinking � the condemnation of any substantial questioning of the leader�s teachings, and (2) absolute obedience � obeying without question the orders of the religious hierarchy.

Q: How can I solve $1 + \frac{3}{2(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = 5/2$ I'm trying to solve this equation but I'm really stuck here, I know that I will have two solutions .
$$1 + \frac{3}{2(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = \frac{5}{2}$$
I took $\frac{5}{2}$ to the other side and start solving it, I got to this point :
$$ 1 + \frac{3}{2(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} - \frac{5}{2} = 0$$
$$ \frac{2(x²-x+1)^{3/2} + 3 - 5 (x²-x+1)^{3/2}}{(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = 0$$
$$ \frac{-3(x²-x+1)^{3/2} + 3 }{(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = 0 $$
Which means:
$$ -3(x²-x+1)^{3/2} + 3  = 3 [-(x²-x+1)^{3/2} + 1] = 0  $$
I'm stuck here . I can't find the next steps to solve, I tried to use online tools to solve it, I got the results and the steps but it weren't so clear .
Please help me out on this equation and explain to me how can I solve it ? .

A: Hint:
Try moving the $1$ instead:
$$\frac{3}{2(x^2-x+1)^{3/2}} = \frac{3}{2}$$
Then cross multiply to get:
$$(x^2-x+1)^{3/2} = 1$$

A: $$1 + \frac{3}{2(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = 5/2$$
$$ \frac{1}{(x²-x+1)^{3/2}} = 1$$
$$ (x²-x+1)^{3/2} = 1$$
$$ (x²-x+1) = 1$$

A: $$1+\frac{3}{\left(x^2-x+1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{5}{2}\Longleftrightarrow x^2-x+1=\left(\frac{3}{\frac{5}{2}-1}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}$$
Now, use the quadratic formula:
$$\text{a}x^2+\text{b}x+\text{c}=0\Longleftrightarrow x=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{a}\text{c}}}{2\text{a}}$$

A fierce Israeli army raid in a crowded West Bank refugee camp confined thousands to their homes for a third straight day Thursday and residents said they were running out of food and water.
In a separate Israeli raid Thursday on the Gaza Strip, a 17-year-old died when he was hit by shrapnel and run over by an army bulldozer, Palestinian hospital officials said.
There were indications that the West Bank operation targeting militants in the Ein Bet Ilmeh camp next to the city of Nablus was nearing its end. But the raid was especially painful for the 5,000 refugees who live there because it came during the holy month of Ramadan when Muslim families normally gather for large feasts at nightfall to end their daytime fast.
Israeli media reported before sundown Thursday that soldiers captured a cell of four militants from Hamas and the Popular Front groups who were allegedly planning a suicide attack. That was the stated goal of the raid, signaling that it was close to conclusion.
Israeli troops backed by tanks and bulldozers launched the raid Tuesday and two Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed in the first two days of fighting.

'Come back to Poland': Polish deputy Prime Minister wants emigrants to return
Barbara Tasch
Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki speaks during news conference at the Prime Minister Chancellery in Warsaw, Poland February 16, 2016.
Polish deputy Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said he would like the Poles who emigrated to come back home, the BBC reports.
"I would welcome all Polish people who went abroad. If only they could come back, it would be a great day for Poland," Morawiecki said.
The number of Poles moving here dramatically increased when Poland joined the European Union in 2004. The arrival en masse of the so-called "Polish plumbers" was both welcomed and loathed, depending on whether you believed the Poles were taking your job or fixing your house.
A few years ago, The Telegraph reported that the Polish government was trying to get the hundreds of thousands of Poles who had emigrated to other EU countries to come back home.
Morawiecki said he expected Poles would stop leaving their home country in the next few years as wages increase, adding the migration rate had already slowed significantly.
Morawiecki also said he was very concerned about the possibility that the UK might leave the EU, "I hope that Great Britain will stay as part of the European Union, because times are not easy," he said. Adding that whatever the outcome of the June 23 referendum, Poland would resist any possible domino effect.
People hold Polish and EU flags as they take part in a march demanding their government to respect the country's constitution in front of the Constitutional Court in Warsaw, Poland, March 12, 2016.

Poland has been embroiled in a few controversies with the EU recently as the newly elected eurosceptic government has been accused of not respecting the rule of law in its own country and of interfering with freedom of the press.
The country has also been accused by EU officials of not doing enough to help with the migrant crisis. Poland was one of the countries strongly opposed to the EU relocation plan.
Morawiecki said that it would be too much of a stretch for Poland to take in any more than the 7,000 refugees it has pledged, because of the war in Ukraine. Poland has a population of over 38 million people.
"We feel that we already participate in smoothing the situation —- in calming down the situation at our borders," the deputy Prime Minister said, adding that it was supporting the proposed EU-Turkey migrant deal.

Australia energy
Origin Energy sells wind farm to Chinese renewable company
May 9th 2017 | Australia | Electricity | Origin Energy
On May 8th Origin Energy Ltd announced a deal to sell its Stockyard Hill wind farm for A$110m (US$81.5m) to Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co Ltd, a Chinese wind energy company. As part of the deal, the Australian energy company announced a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with the new owner to buy all of the 530 MW of wind energy produced by the asset.
The PPA with Xinjiang Goldwind for the undeveloped Stockyard Hill, Australia's largest wind project, will stretch over 2019-2030. The PPA price of below $60/MWh agreed between the parties reportedly marks the lowest rate in Australia's renewable energy industry. Xinjiang Goldwind will reportedly invest as much as A$335m to further develop the Stockyard Hill wind project.
Origin said that the power supply from the wind farm will help it offset the loss in capacity due to the recent retirement of the Hazelwood coal-fired power station in Victoria. The company also said that it was only 300 MW short of attaining its goal of acquiring 1,500 MW of new renewable generation by 2020. By 2020, it expects renewable energy to make up over 25% of its generation mix.
Last week, Origin sold its Darling Downs solar farm in Queensland to APA Group, an Australian pipeline operator, for A$200m. It expects to sign a solar PPA with the undeveloped 110-MW project's new operator for a period spanning 2018-2030. Frequent power shortages and favourable weather and landscape has popularised solar and wind powers in Australia.

Thoits Law represented the sellers of a property in Santa Clara County who were sued for alleged non-disclosures related to the sale of their property, as well as implied and equitable indemnity, comparative fault, express indemnity, and declaratory relief. The case involved multiple counterclaims between the buyer, seller, and their respective realtors, and Thoits Law was able to push for an early mediation prior to any discovery being served on their client. This led to a very favorable settlement at mediation without the time and expense of discovery or motion practice.
The Thoits Law team was led by Nathaniel Lipanovich.
Thoits Law Secures Dismissal In Antitrust Matter
Intel Corporation, et al. v. Fortress Investment Group LLC, et al.
Thoits Law represents defendant DSS Technology Management, Inc. in a case brought by Apple and Intel alleging that defendants violated antitrust laws by aggregating a massive portfolio of patents covering electronics products and aggressively enforcing those patents – e.g., by demanding that licenses be obtained and/or by filing meritless patent infringement actions. Defendants moved to dismiss, and Thoits Law filed a supplemental brief on behalf of DSS arguing that the claims against DSS were independently barred by a settlement agreement with Intel. The court agreed and dismissed the only claims asserted against DSS with prejudice, making DSS the only defendant to be dismissed from the case.

Christina Spicuzza missing Pittsburgh Uber driver & mother of 4 found shot dead in the head. Woman's death considered a homicide with no suspects named or arrests made.
Who killed her and why? A missing Pennsylvania Uber driver has been found dead 3 days after the mother of four seemingly vanished after dropping off various fares, Thursday night.
Christina 'Christi' Marto Spicuzza, 38, of Turtle Creek, Pittsburgh, who was reported missing by family after failing to return from work on February 10, was found deceased in Allegheny County on Saturday.
According to an Allegheny County police release, the mom of four was found with a single gunshot wound to the head in a wooded area off of Rosecrest Drive.
Of note, Christina Spicuzza's vehicle was found several hours before her body was discovered by police in the 500 block of Fourth Street in Pitcairn.
The woman's mysterious death was being investigated by Monroeville police with the assistance of the County police homicide unit, according to the Daily Voice.

Safety of Uber drivers thrown into question
Spicuzza's purse was still in her car and an Uber camera inside was missing according to the Sun.
'We never thought that we would ever hear anything about a body being dumped in the (woods) there,' said Ruth Rather, who works at a group home across from where police discovered Spicuzza's body according to the Sun. 'We were flabbergasted, we were shocked.'
An Uber spokesperson said they are deeply committed to the safety of drivers and the procedures in place.
'Our thoughts are with Christi's family and friends during this difficult time. Uber's 24/7 public safety team has been assisting police in the investigation,' Uber's statement said according to KDKA.

A GoFundMe fundraiser for her funeral costs and remaining family members described her as being the main breadwinner for a family of six, which consisted of her partner, Brandon Marto and their four children.
Spicuzza previously worked as a Customer Service Representative at Dollar Bank, an Amazon Warehouse, and a CVS before becoming an Uber driver, according to her social media profiles. She studied Polysomnography at Center Pointe School of Sleep Medicine as well as studying Business at the Community College of Allegheny County and was a 2001 graduate of Gateway Senior high school, according to her LinkedIn profile.
She described herself as 'an extrovert. I love helping people. I am a team player and I love helping other people learn too. As a mother of 4, my multitasking skills are very excellent as well as my time management skills. I enjoy a challenge. I like the feeling I get when I finish a difficult task. Organization is important to me,' in part according to her LinkedIn about section which was last updated in 2020.
The official release of Spicuzza's cause and manner of death will be provided by the county medical examiner. Police have not released any information regarding a suspect or suspects.

Whatever the state of Howard's health and drug dependency, it hadn't curbed his desire to fly. On March 21 and again on March 29, Jack Real met with Howard in Suite 901 of the Inn on the Park to set up a program of flying. The release from the burden of the TWA judgment seemed to breathe a new spark of life into him. Flying was the one thing that was meaningful in his life, and his mind became sharper and a bit of humor crept into his personality when he took the controls of any aircraft. With Real's assistance, Howard flew on at least three occasions in England: June 10 and 27, and July 17, 1973 (Real 139-51).
According to Real, Howard's return to the skies was a component of a much larger issue. He considered replacing the Fokker F-27, short range, turboprop aircraft at Hughes Air West Airlines with the British Hawker Siddeley HS-748 aircraft. He wanted to lease an HS-748 and flight test it for the airline and himself. This presented a major problem, since Howard did not have a valid pilot's license. He could neither renew his American Federal Aviation Authority license nor apply for a British license without being photographed, which he refused to do. Tony Blackman, chief flight test engineer for Hawker Siddeley, came up with the solution. The HS-748's flight manual required two pilots to fly but said nothing about both pilots being licensed. Howard was a pilot by anyone's standards, and Tony was a pilot with a valid license. The problem was solved, and Howard was now Blackman's copilot, or vice versa (134).
Sunday, June 10, 1973, was one of those rainless summer days in England, when the beauty of the countryside is particularly apparent. Tony Blackman was at home engaging in the popular British hobby of gardening, when the call came that Howard wanted to fly. Right now. The accommodating Blackman climbed into his personal de Havilland Dove light aircraft and flew down to the Hawker Siddeley Aerodrome at Hatfield to meet Howard, Jack Real, and Hughes's aide Levar Mylar. Howard's leased Daimler automobile was out at the time, so George Francom rented a Rolls Royce from an agency, which sounded elegant but turned out to be decades old and a borderline wreck, for transportation to Hatfield Airport and Howard's long-awaited adventure (139–40).
For the better part of three hours and ten minutes, Howard took the controls for his first experience in the pilot's seat in thirteen years. He flew to the Hawker Siddeley Aerodrome at Bitteswell, about forty miles away, and performed a number of touch-and-go landings and takeoffs. This is not surprising for a man with Howard's experience, but it is shocking for a man who has been repeatedly described as mentally and physically incompetent.
The plan for the second flight was to cross the English Channel to Ostend, Belgium, make sure the authorities knew Howard was on the plane, and return to England. Mother Nature does not always go along with the plans of men, and the weather in England on June 27 was particularly foul, with the visibility down to virtually nothing. Things were further complicated because Howard didn't want to fly in his own plane; he wanted to keep it new. They had to charter the only HS-748 available, which was very inconveniently located in France. The charter craft was late, and the whole operation had to be postponed twelve hours. Blackman wanted to call it off completely because of the weather, but Howard refused. Against his better judgment, Blackman took off to make a scheduled stop at Stansted, England, where visibility was zero. He found the runway with the aid of the airplane's Instrument Landing System (ILS) and autopilot, and to Howard's amazement, the aircraft came out of the fog perfectly positioned on the runway (145–49).
Feeling lucky that they had gotten this far, Blackman made another appeal to common sense and requested they cease tempting fate in the inclement weather. Howard again refused. Blackman demanded a back-up pilot fly in the second seat instead of Howard, and they were off to Belgium. Once there, Blackman performed a touch-and-go landing and declared a hydraulic emergency. The "emergency" was logged by the tower, thus proving that the plane with Howard on it had actually been in Belgium and that Howard had left the U.K. for a period of time, resetting the clock on his allowed stay in England. The return to Stansted was uneventful with the weather less miserable when they landed at dawn. When the whole ordeal was over, Howard admitted it was the worst weather in which he had ever flown.
Satisfied with the performance of the HS-748, Howard next set his sights on a nine-seat business jet, the Hawker Siddeley HS-125. Jack Real arranged for a low hour aircraft, and Tony Blackman was once again engaged to be Howard's co-pilot. The flight took place on July 17, 1973. Real reported that Howard was particularly happy and conversant during the flight. He made a number of touch-and-go landings and takeoffs and generally enjoyed himself thoroughly (150–52). The charming Howard appeared when he had to, or when he was genuinely happy, as he appeared to be then. Blackman, despite some of the unnecessary thrills, was pleased with his experience with Howard. He said he couldn't get over what an average, down-to-earth guy he was (141). Howard, the pilot, was back.
By August 1973, Howard decided he wanted to return to Nevada and begin flying every day. Real dutifully telephoned Howard's attorney Chester Davis to make the arrangements and received a discouraging reply. "Tell Howard that when he left, he had twenty lawsuits against him in the United States. Now he has forty lawsuits. I don't know if he will ever be able to come back" (160–61).
It's true lawsuits seemed to be as integral a part of Howard's life as breathing. For as pleasant as this escape to London seemed to have been, no period of Howard's life would be complete without a certain amount of legal drama. In April and May 1973, word got out about another contribution from Howard to his old pal, Richard Nixon. It seems that the president agreed to allow a Hughes Air West takeover that was legally questionable. The approval was granted on the same day Howard agreed to give the president a $100,000 campaign contribution. Many people remarked on this interesting coincidence!
Additionally, charges of fraud and stock manipulation were brought against Howard by a Las Vegas grand jury, further putting him under scrutiny. The Watergate Scandal heat remained on Nixon as well. As difficult questions continued to be directed at the president, he responded with at least the illusion of a political housecleaning by firing aides, H.R. Halderman and John Erlichman in April. This would turn out to be too little too late.
Still, according to Jack Real, the summer of 1973 was most enjoyable for Howard. In fact, he felt it was the best he experienced in years. The escape from the TWA mess and the ability to take to the skies relaxed him and kindled a desire to resume his once-active life with an optimism that had been missing.
Real felt Howard "had come back to living," which may have been true, but as one Howard was coming back to life, the other was dangerously close to departing it.
The Howard who left Miami in December as a drug-addicted derelict and supposedly made a total recovery to become the articulate Howard by February, was having another health crisis. On August 9, 1973, "Howard II," the derelict, the stand-in, fell in the London hotel, broke his hip, and was carted off to a local hospital in pathetic condition. His muscles and organs were barely functioning. He was attended to by Dr. William Young who reported that "Howard's" skin had a parchment-like quality, he was emaciated, and he had long fingernails and toenails. In case anyone didn't get the picture, he likened Howard to "a malnourished prisoner of war" (Barlett and Steele 492). This is clearly not the type of individual one would have wanted to see at the controls of a jet aircraft only a month before.

PUBLIC APPEAL Of the National Platform of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum on the attempt of abuse of state power by a group of MPs in the parliament of the Republic of Moldova
The Constitution of the Republic of Moldova is the Supreme Law of the state. No law and no other legal act contrary to the provisions of the Constitution has legal force;
We urge the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova and other political actors to refrain from unfounded attacks on the Constitutional Court and judges, as they promote a culture incompatible with the values of the rule of law. The Constitution of the Republic of Moldova is the supreme law of the society and the state, the observance of which is an axiom, and the decisions of the Constitutional Court, including the above-mentioned opinion, are final and cannot be challenged.
We find that the actions taken by the parliamentary majority by approving the Parliament Decision on withdrawing the vote of confidence to Ms. Domnica Manole, President and Judge of the Constitutional Court are contrary to the Constitution, the Law on the Constitutional Court, Constitutional Court Decision no. 8/2013 and constitutes the elements of the abuse of state power. At the same time, the approval on the same day, one hour after the decision of the Parliament, appointing another judge to the Constitutional Court, knowing the requirements on how the mandate of a judge in the Constitutional Court is revoked, demonstrates the intention of the parliamentary majority to abuse the state power.
We support the decision of the President of the Republic of Moldova to convene the Supreme Security Council in order to discuss and take immediate action by the competent authorities that are required to stop illegal actions against the Constitution and state power.
We urge the Prosecutor General to take the necessary action to ensure compliance with the law and the immediate stop of illegal actions of the Parliament majority. We consider that the actions of the Parliament and of the parliamentary majority constitute the elements of the crime of abuse of state power provided by article 339 of the Criminal Code.
We call on development partners and diplomatic missions accredited to the Republic of Moldova, the Council of Europe and Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova to react promptly to these actions of abuse of state power and blatant violation of the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova, including the independence of the Constitutional Court.
