ANOTHER AVERTED AIR DISASTER?

I just recieved one of those bb broadcast of another possible air disaster. What is really happening to our aviation industry? Why are we toying with human lives as though they are toys that can be replaced when broken?

Hilary Clinton to CNN: ‘I take responsibility’ in Libya attack

Hillary Clinton (Reuters/Yuri Gripas).

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN in an interview Monday that she—not the White House—takes responsibility for the security situation in Benghazi, Libya, ahead of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack there that claimed the lives of four Americans, including the ambassador.

"I take responsibility," Clinton told CNN in one of a series of television interviews she gave after arriving in Peru. The comments from America's top diplomat came on the eve of President Barack Obama's second debate with Republican challenger Mitt Romney, a face-off that seemed likely to include questions about the administration's handling of the bloody assault.

"I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha" with just three weeks before the election, Clinton said, underlining that she—not Obama and Vice President Joe Biden—has the final word on security at America's diplomatic posts overseas.

The White House took heavy fire from Republicans for blaming the attack on Muslim anger at an Internet video ridiculing Islam—even though intelligence officials from the U.S., France, Britain and Italy had quickly labeled the assault an act of terrorism.

And Biden stoked the controversy when he said, in his debate with Republican rival Paul Ryan last week, that "we weren't told" of requests for more security on the ground. State Department officials had testified that such requests had been denied by Washington.

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was slain in the onslaught, making him the first American ambassador killed in such an attack since 1979. Romney has led Republican charges that the strike is a symptom of Obama's "unraveling" foreign policy.

In the CNN interview, Clinton blamed "confusion" after the attack for the initial focus on the video, which has fueled angry demonstrations across the Muslim world. The State Department has said it never blamed demonstrations for the bloodshed in Benghazi. The White House has said that the intelligence community initially believed that the film had played a role.

Clinton also said that while she would work to improve diplomatic security, "we cannot retreat" from the world. "We can't not engage," she said.

The Galaxy S III is T-Mobile’s best selling device of all-time

T-Mobile late last week revealed on its Twitter page that the Galaxy S III has become the carrier’s best selling device of all-time. The smartphone has found a place in the company’s record book after being released less than fourth months ago. We are left wondering, however, if the milestone would be different had T-Mobile offered the iPhone. Samsung’s (005930) flagship smartphone has seen near universal praise and achieved high sales so far, and the South Korean manufacturer has sold more than 20 million Galaxy S III smartphones as of September and expects to top 30 million units by the end of the year.

Hulk Hogan Sues Best Friend Over Sex Tape

Hulk Hogan's mad, and he's ready to lay the smack-down in court according to a press release issued by his lawyer.
The WWE legend, real name Terry Bollea, filed two civil lawsuits today in Tampa, Fla., in connection to the release of his sex tape that leaked on the internet earlier this month, and was allegedly done without his knowledge or consent.
Hogan's sex tape surfaces online
The first lawsuit is against Heather Clem aka Heather Cole and her ex-husband, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem aka Todd Alan Clem, alleging claims of invasion of privacy, public disclosure of private facts, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress and violation of the Florida statute prohibiting the taping of another person without their knowledge.
The second lawsuit is against Gawker Media, which posted excerpts of the video on their website and refused to remove them after Hogan's legal counsel sent a cease and desist demand for their removal and destruction.
So what exactly is Hulk Hogan seeking from the website, its owner Nick Denton and other affiliates? A whopping $100 million in monetary damages, plus punitive damages, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction to force Gawker Media to remove all content of the video from their websites.

Wrestler says it was done at a low point in his life
Hogan's attorney David Houston told E! News previously, in reference to Bubba, that, "Terry never wanted to be in the position of suing someone he considered a best friend, but if someone does that to you maybe your idea of a best friendship was misplaced."
As for Hogan, all he has to say at this time is, "I am fortunate to have a supportive family during this process."

There were a lot of sex tape scandals in 2010
