Today is Thursday, Aug. 18, the 231st day of 2016. There are 135 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Aug. 18, 1846, during the Mexican-American War, U.S. forces led by Gen. Stephen W. Kearny occupied Santa Fe in present-day New Mexico.
On this date:
In 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.)
In 1838, the first marine expedition sponsored by the U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Virginia; the crews traveled the southern Pacific Ocean, gathering scientific information.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I.
In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women's right to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.
In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada.
In 1954, during the Eisenhower administration, Assistant Secretary of Labor James Ernest Wilkins became the first black official to attend a meeting of the president's Cabinet as he sat in for Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell.
In 1958, the novel "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov was first published in New York by G.P. Putnam's Sons, almost three years after it was originally published in Paris.
In 1963, James Meredith became the first black student to graduate from the University of Mississippi.
In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, New York, wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by Jimi Hendrix.
In 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea's demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean soldiers.
In 1983, Hurricane Alicia slammed into the Texas coast, leaving 21 dead and causing more than a billion dollars' worth of damage. The Kansas City Royals defeated the New York Yankees, 5-4, in the completion of the "pine-tar" game in just 12 minutes.
In 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush accepted the presidential nomination of his party at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans.
Ten years ago: President George W. Bush criticized a federal court ruling the day before that his warrantless wiretapping program was unconstitutional, declaring that opponents did not understand "the nature of the world in which we live." Financially struggling Ford Motor Co. said it would temporarily halt production at ten assembly plants.
Five years ago: President Barack Obama and European leaders demanded that Syrian President Bashar Assad resign, saying his brutal suppression of his people made him unfit to lead. Vice President Joe Biden met with Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping in Beijing. A storm swept through a popular open-air music festival in Hasselt, Belgium, killing five people.
One year ago: The Food and Drug Administration approved Addyi, the world's first prescription drug designed to boost sexual desire in women. Bud Yorkin, a director and producer who helped forge a new brand of topical TV comedy with the 1970s hit "All in the Family," died in Los Angeles at age 89.

Pretty minor in the big scheme of the mess:
FDA Loses Lawsuit Over Tobacco Labeling Changes
Turns out, if you put a new band on a cigar, it’s still the same cigar after all. Yesterday, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) lost its court fight over whether a change to a label would be considered a new product. Judge Amit Mehta of the D.C. District Court ruled in favor of Altria, Lorillard and Reynolds America—i.e. the three largest American tobacco companies—in a lawsuit regarding whether changes to packaging would deem a tobacco product new and as such make it applicable for substantial equivalence, a process of FDA approval that is expected to cost upwards of $20,000 per individual cigar due to legal and testing fees. Mehta ruled for FDA over whether a quantity change—i.e. the amount of cigars or cigarettes in a package—would qualify as a new product. The agency had said it would count as a new product, something that was upheld in the ruling. As for the packaging changes, the agency has previously stated that it considered any “major” packaging changes to constitute as a new product

This should apply on this Banter also, only use the word Woman -- no man talk allowed!
Princeton HR department: Don't use word 'man'...
The Princeton University HR department has largely wiped the word “man” from its vocabulary.
The relatively new policy in effect at the Ivy League institution spells out the directive in a four-page memo that aims to make the department more gender inclusive.
Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people
Other guidelines? Instead of “man and wife” use spouses or partners. Switch out “man made” with artificial, handmade or manufactured. Don’t use the verb “to man,” as in to work something, instead use to operate or to staff. Throw out workmanlike and replace it with skillful.
The memo goes on to list a variety of occupations that typically include the word “man” in them and offers replacements: business person instead of businessman, firefighter instead of fireman, ancestors instead of forefathers, and so on.

She smiled and talked to me all the while I was slobbering. my eyes were about rack high too!
She was dressed in a tight fitting skirt and blouse looking like the TWA Stewardesses of the 1960's, some kind of sexy. Sorry to the youngsters that do not know what those looked like but they were hot then and would still be hot now.

Great travel cigar lighter and Not much to go wrong with it.
Just when I thought I’d seen every product for stashing survival items on one’s person, I ran across TinderZIP by Exotac.
It’s a clever little product that not only is an easy-to-install replacement zipper pull, the cord portion also includes a waterproof flammable core that provides a 60 second burn time when lit to help start a fire in the event of an emergency. Just snip the cord, pull out the core and you’re ready to create some heat and light. Made in the USA, TinderZIP can be added to jackets, bags, tents or just about any item with a zipper. Available in two colors, black (pictured) and orange, TinderZIP is $8.95 for a package of five. Visit ExoTac for more info.

The story has become all too familiar: The former child star who struggles to keep hold of their money, and ends up bankrupt decades later. But Eve Plumb, of “Brady Bunch” fame, is an exception, having made a savvy property investment at the age of just 11.
The 58-year-old actress and painter, who played Jan Brady in classic 1970s U.S. TV show “The Brady Bunch,” bought her Malibu home 47 years ago for just $55,000 with the help of her parents, and has now just sold it for $3.9 million, according to the listing agent Deasy/Penner.

In the fundamentalist school I attended, it was just Greek and Hebrew. But I pissed them off and they were happy for me to finish at Arizona, where my advisor was a catholic priest. So I studied some Latin.
He hoped I'd convert and become a priest, but I like women too much.

Instead of using “man,” employees are told to use words such as human beings, individuals or people
Other guidelines? Instead of “man and wife” use spouses or partners. Switch out “man made” with artificial, handmade or manufactured. Don’t use the verb “to man,” as in to work something, instead use to operate or to staff. Throw out workmanlike and replace it with skillful.
The memo goes on to list a variety of occupations that typically include the word “man” in them and offers replacements: business person instead of businessman, firefighter instead of fireman, ancestors instead of forefathers, and so on.
Take it easy, human being!
Luckily cigar is gender neutral.
And the site owner is also gender neutral so that should help us out some in the public eye.
D'oh!

Think I will see if I can get in a little walk before it rains again.
Nice cup of decaf expresso at Lavazza and met my next girlfriend! Holy Sheesh, just the right age about 25 and smok'n hot with a major rack and about 6' tall wearing some mega sexy spiked heals about 5" tall on the bottoms of those drumsticks.. :o
Guess we know were TexDave is going to be spending the rest of his mornings before retirement. Did she smile at you?
She smiled and talked to me all the while I was slobbering. my eyes were about rack high too!
She was dressed in a tight fitting skirt and blouse looking like the TWA Stewardesses of the 1960's, some kind of sexy. Sorry to the youngsters that do not know what those looked like but they were hot then and would still be hot now.
Are you saying the stewardesses or the outfits...
A pert 20 year old in 1960 would be 76 years old now...

The story has become all too familiar: The former child star who struggles to keep hold of their money, and ends up bankrupt decades later. But Eve Plumb, of “Brady Bunch” fame, is an exception, having made a savvy property investment at the age of just 11.
The 58-year-old actress and painter, who played Jan Brady in classic 1970s U.S. TV show “The Brady Bunch,” bought her Malibu home 47 years ago for just $55,000 with the help of her parents, and has now just sold it for $3.9 million, according to the listing agent Deasy/Penner.
as they say in real estate; "Location, location, location!" same bungalow might be worth less in Detroit now.

In the fundamentalist school I attended, it was just Greek and Hebrew. But I pissed them off and they were happy for me to finish at Arizona, where my advisor was a catholic priest. So I studied some Latin.
He hoped I'd convert and become a priest, but I like women too much.
You'd have to love little boys to become a priest.

This is the No. 1 college in America for Olympic medals
Stanford athletes (incoming, current and former) have won 18 Olympic medals in Rio as of Thursday morning, the most of any American university and more medals than most of the 200 member nations competing at the Games, according to the NCAA. If Stanford were a country, it’d currently be ranked No. 10 in the total medal count.
The second and third institutions on the list are also California schools. Just behind Stanford with 16 medals is Bay Area neighbor and longtime football rival, the University of California, Berkeley. And in at No. 3 is the University of Southern California.

The State Department admitted Thursday that the US would not hand over $400 million in cash to Iran until it released four American hostages — two weeks after President Obama insisted the payment was not a “ransom.”
State Department spokesman John Kirby was asked at Thursday’s press briefing: “In basic English, you’re saying you wouldn’t give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct?”
“That’s correct,” Kirby replied.
In an Aug. 4 press conference, President Obama said the opposite.

No, the $400 mil belonged to Iran. It was the $1.7 billion in interest that we paid that really pisses me off. They took 50 hostages in '79, so we froze their assets, including that $400 mil. Then, after 37 years of continuous misbehavior by Iran, including repeated hostage-taking, we give them their $400 mil and $1.7 billion in interest. We guaranteed their investment when they were assholes.
But Obama wants to cozy up to Iran. It suits his ideology. That it's a totally ridiculous ideology, and completely at odds with conventional liberal thought never crosses his mind. This is what Commie Academia produces.
Obama's a putz.

I do for one.
Because the bastards with do it again. And because there is nothing more insulting to the victims than for them to be used as political poker chips.
And they are holding another one right now! Also they may be U,S.Citizens but they are also Iranian and in addition any dumbass that makes the choice of their own free will to go to those extremely dangerous places are doing so at their own risk.
Yes, but there's something to be said for the idea that if you harm an American Citizen, regardless of extraction, we'll make you bleed.
No argument there but we the tax payers bled $400 million + associated costs of getting them was all the bleeding that was done for their own stupidity.
No, the $400 mil belonged to Iran. It was the $1.7 billion in interest that we paid that really pisses me off. They took 50 hostages in '79, so we froze their assets, including that $400 mil. Then, after 37 years of continuous misbehavior by Iran, including repeated hostage-taking, we give them their $400 mil and $1.7 billion in interest. We guaranteed their investment when they were assholes.
But Obama wants to cozy up to Iran. It suits his ideology. That it's a totally ridiculous ideology, and completely at odds with conventional liberal thought never crosses his mind. This is what Commie Academia produces.
Obama's a putz.
And F you believe that it was the Iranians money bag of bullshit I would like to sell you my mountain property in the Everglades.
Nah, it was money they paid us when the Shah was in power for the purchase of some fighter jets. The deal wasn't completed, they took hostages, so we froze it.

You're all wrong. The reason we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China was 'cause Truman was too much of a pussy wimp to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!

Actually McArthur was a blow hard self-aggrandizing crappy commander who excelled at taking credit for others accomplishments.

The State Department admitted Thursday that the US would not hand over $400 million in cash to Iran until it released four American hostages — two weeks after President Obama insisted the payment was not a “ransom.”
State Department spokesman John Kirby was asked at Thursday’s press briefing: “In basic English, you’re saying you wouldn’t give them $400 million in cash until the prisoners were released, correct?”
“That’s correct,” Kirby replied.

Certainly not USA Today readers.

I though that was the definition of "General."

Though I'll take a guess and say George C Scott in Dr. Strangelove. No googling.

Nope. Googled it, a less well known Rodney movie.

I saw that too. I'd seriously consider it with free shipping.

In the fundamentalist school I attended, it was just Greek and Hebrew. But I pissed them off and they were happy for me to finish at Arizona, where my advisor was a catholic priest. So I studied some Latin.
He hoped I'd convert and become a priest, but I like women too much.
You'd have to love little boys to become a priest.
That's why I'm not Catholic.
It's late when I'm getting around to reading this (watching Nats, Avo Nica Synchro ... thanks, Oy.) But I have to comment to at least give some perspective: fact - about 4% of priests offended (way too many, should have been 0), out of those, 80% were adult males on adolescent males (technically "ephebophelia"), so what does that tell you - it was a homosexual problem - letting these priests marry would not have been the solution, capiche? When adult men came forward, explaining what happened to them and how it damaged them, it showed just how destructive sexual abuse of minors by adults really is. That being said, every priest should have been given due process, because some greedy folks decided to cash in on the reparations bonanza and there were many priests that were falsely accused and lost their reputations, their lifelong vocations, plus their freedoms. Those who were guilty, you know what Jesus said their punishments would be. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. Final point: I know many fine priests who live out their vocations spending themselves for the care of souls (many left girlfriends & fiancées behind in wrenching decisions when they believed they were being called ... they would have been good husbands and family men, so it was a huge sacrifice for them & their families do they could be undivided in their devotion to Christ & His Church). So please don't smear all Catholic priests with a broad brush, for the ugly criminal actions of a few. FWIW: I was an altar boy from 3rd grade through HS and was never once approached in a sexual way. Then I totally strayed during college and after, living like a baptized pagan, but that's another story.
