Arkansas Gov. Candidate: Full Scholarships to Students with 2.5 GPAs

Andrew Johnson

March 20, 2013

 

Arkansas high-schoolers with C-averages could soon be in for a windfall: Under one Democratic gubernatorial candidate’s education plan, they would qualify for a full ride at the state’s public universities.

 

According to his website, former lieutenant governor Bill Halter wants to let any high-school student “who works hard to make good grades” — apparently Razorback for a 2.5 GPA or higher — to attend one of the state’s public universities completely tuition-free......(Snip)

 

 

DARE To Be Average!!!

Turkey arrests extremist wanted by Germany

3/22/13

 

 

 

BERLIN (AP) — A security official says an Islamic extremist who has allegedly called for terrorist attacks on Europe has been arrested in Turkey and Germany will seek his extradition.(Snip)

 

Mahmoud, who was jailed in his native Austria in 2007 for ties to al-Qaida, moved to Germany upon his release in 2011 and became an imam with the ultraconservative Salafi movement.

 

He was expelled from Germany in 2012 and resurfaced in Egypt where he is alleged to have produced online German-language videos for the Global Islamic Media Front calling for terrorist attacks in Europe.

Man impersonating pilot arrested on US Airways flight

 

(He looks like a pilot to me ... flying on meth)sarcasm

US Airway....the Edsel of the Airlines. We took USAir back & forth for my fathers funeral. Going into Phoenix "SkyHarbor," they were 20 minutes later than our 45 minute layover. That meant that we had to run [with our carry-on stuff] for nearly a mile [did use the mobile sidewalks] and we just made our connecting flight.....because the flight crew had not yet arrived [still in the "SkyLounge" having one for the road?] Coming back, we had to leave the "SkyHarbor" terminal, take a 15 minute shuttle bus ride to a new terminal & go through the TSA Gropers Portal again. We were again late to DIA, and almost lost our [pre-paid] ground transportation.

The "people" have voted & must now be punished....elections have consequences...gee, what other silly comment would go good here?

 

Thought: The national highway system was originally done to aid troop movement. Will the closed airports be for DHS or BPP....or whatever civilian police force?

Most of these will not be closed airports. The will just have unmanned towers. Many small airports don't have towers and pilots coordinate their own take off/landings.
