LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

Glad you are back, granny, and I couldn't agree more.

In my opinion, Russia and China would have two choices:

Choice one would be to stay out of the conflict because the US still has over 8000 strategic nuclear missiles they can target on them within seconds.

Choice two would be to exploit the attack and seize territory to their strategic advantage, which wuld further isolate us and cause us to have to fight them to get it back.

Either way its a tossup, but my guess is China would exercise option 2 and Russia would most probably stay out of it.

[judicial meanz]

And the "schwartz" would definitely be with them. (the carriers)

[jerseygirl]

In many ways- yes. Some with and without their knowledge.

[oceanview]

not unless they were specially equipped.

so what if they are scanning for radiation? that's what we pay them for. they were scanning using street level sensors with NEST teams during the xmas/new years holidays when they feared the dirty bomb. that's what they are supposed to be doing.

"I see that your schwartz is as big as mine!"

I'd actually look at the Korean Peninsula before Taiwan.

[Calpernia]

Ok, I'm really curious now. What was it?

[judicial meanz]

The worst case scenario is this:

The alliance system basically caused WWI because many countries were obligated to respond in defense of allied countries whether they wanted to or not. In the end, one assassination cost millions of lives due to strategic alliances.

China and Russia have a lot of alliances with countries in opposition to us, especially in the Middle East. In my opinion, the defense alliances between China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea will be the igniting spark of WWIV.

[HipShot]

I'd like to see it too.

[HipShot]

But what about WWIII?

[judicial meanz]

The schwartz in action....if the link works..LOL

[oceanview]

Reagan won that one.

[judicial meanz]

I go along with the opinion that WWIII was the Cold War, just like Rumsfeld and many others have said.I think the GWOT is the opening stages of WWIV

[HipShot]

TY :) "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."

[HipShot]

That depends on how inclusive your definition of battlefield is.

I disagree based on the lack of comparability with the first 2.

[nw_arizona_granny]

There is the Federalist Eagle again.

Is it the same?

check out the quote from the witless police chief:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A series of seemingly random shootings over two days turned out to have a single, disturbing connection: All five victims were shot with the same gun.

Two victims were shot early Sunday on the north side of the city; three others were shot Monday morning within 15 minutes and several blocks of each other. The victims of Monday’s shootings remained hospitalized Tuesday.

Regina Brown, who lives on the south side of the city where the Monday shootings took place, says she is afraid to leave the house.

“I stay behind this door,” Brown said, smoking a cigarette through her screen and watching the street. “I don’t want to know what’s going on around here.”

Witnesses and victims reported the shots came from the passenger side of moving cars, and police believe two people were working together.

“I think we’re dealing with some local idiots who went out — probably induced by drugs or some other impairment — went out and did something awful foolish,” said New Haven Police Chief Francisco Ortiz. FBI agents and state police were brought in to help.

Ortiz said the gun was of an unusual caliber, and that a check of Connecticut gun shops turned up no leads. He declined to offer other details on the weapon.

Acting on a tip, police Tuesday searched a pond about two miles from the Monday shootings and found a submerged car. It was unclear whether the vehicle, which had been in the pond only a day or two, was linked to the shootings.

The two men shot on Sunday — 18-year-old Gregory Jones and 20-year-old Chris Lowery — were standing in front of a house talking with friends. They were treated at a hospital and later released.

All three victims Monday were on their way to work when they were shot, just a few blocks from each other. Police believe the men survived in part because they saw the car with the shooters coming and tried to run.

Those men — Jose Rivera, 24; Robert Blake, 41; and Angel Colon, 54 — remained hospitalized Tuesday.

Police had no description of a suspect. Witnesses reported seeing three different kinds of cars: a red or burgundy sedan that was spotted at the first two shootings, a powder-blue car, and a brown or tan SUV.

Ok, let's hope six channels is radio communication.

Cause look what the first hit is in Google for six channels:

Differentiating Syndromes according to the Theories of the Six Channels, Four Stages of Wei, Qi, Ying and Xue, and Sanjiao

The theories of the six channels, four stages of wei, qi, ying and xue are methods of differentiating syndromes of febrile diseases caused by exogenous pathogenic factors.
