At Fort Bragg, Army Aviators Prepare For Another Deployment As Demand Soars For Air Crews -- Washington Post/AP
FORT BRAGG, N.C. — The Afghanistan conflict, marking its 10th anniversary, is in many ways a helicopter war.
Army aviators fly attack missions, ferry troops and supplies and evacuate the wounded. They are in ever-increasing demand even as America eyes the exits in Afghanistan.
The pilots are flying roughly 63 hours a month — nearly five times the peacetime average.

After a decade of military operations in Afghanistan — the anniversary of the 2001 incursion falls this week — colossal expenditure and a rising death toll, the British are no nearer victory over the Taliban. Nor can they claim to have brought good governance and security to the region.
As I saw during a tour in Helmand as a civilian adviser, the British forces are now widely hated in Afghanistan because of this blood-soaked mess. Among Helmandis, Britain is largely viewed as a destructive foreign invader rather than the benign liberator of fashionable political rhetoric.
Even the Russians, who undertook the notorious invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, are far less despised than the British.
Remember how you felt in '08? Maybe not you, specifically, but remember the hope? The inspiration? Don't you want to feel like that again? Etc. etc.
Picture it. I think it's possible that the Obama 2012 campaign could touch many people — people who are suffering, out of work, occupying Wall Street (or wherever) — by prompting them to get in touch with the great old feeling of the good old days... in 2008... when we were young... when we had dreams...
I know you may scoff and say that every single reference to the abstractions and fuzzy feelings of 3 years ago will only draw derision and intensify the pain. But there's so much pain... At some point, won't people want to take the drug that worked so well that other time. What intense pleasure! What brilliant hallucinations! It calls to you.
Well, not necessarily you. But you see my point?
This notion crossed my mind while I was watching this February 2008 video of Michelle Obama. I'd been searching for that old quote of hers, something like Barack will never allow you to go back to your old lives.
The actual quote is: "Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."
My initial reaction to that today was that it was weird how much she's insulting people... and they love it. They wanted transformed lives, but look how bad things are today. We really were deprived of our "lives as usual," but not in a good way.
The larger context of the quote is:
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that [...]

Juventus are keen to take Manchester City's wayward striker Carlos Tevez on loan during the January transfer window.
According to reports from talkSPORT, the Serie A side are keen to take the mutinous Argentine from England, despite his troubles at the Manchester club, and have sounded the club's hierarchy on a possible deal.
Juventus are looking on the up, especially after their 2-0 win against AC Milan to top Serie A last weekend, and this move could be significant for their momentum. Check out Kelvin Tan's take on the Turin club's recent revival here !

Libya: Ferocious Fighting As Rebels Head For Centre Of Sirte -- The Telegraph
Libyan fighters push deep inside Colonel Gaddafi's home town of Sirte, battling against weakening loyalist troops.
In ferocious close-contact, street-to-street fighting, they took a central residential complex about a mile and half (3km) inside the city.
The fighters are heading for the main street in the city centre, about half a mile away.
Men hunkered on the pavement behind a low wall, taking cover from incoming sniper rounds. Bullets hissed overhead, pinging against gum trees that lined what was once a sleepy neighbourhood.
Italy held Serbia to a draw in Belgrade to remain unbeaten in qualifying and dent their rivals' hopes of playing at Euro 2012.
Needing a win to earn a spot in the play-offs, the hosts got off to the worst possible start as Claudio Marchisio put Italy ahead after 56 seconds.
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic equalised in the 26th minute and Serbia had several chances to go in front, but were denied by good saves from Gianluigi Buffon.
The result at the Crvena Zvezda Stadium, coupled with Estonia's 2-1 win over Northern Ireland in the other Group C game, dropped Serbia to third, one point behind Estonia who have played all their games.
What a relief. It is really nice to finish off the project I was struggling day and night for the past four-five months. Thank God finally it is almost over. By the end of the month I will be completely free. But I am now relatively free. It is a great feeling after such a strenuous work to be free.
I need to rest a lot as I strained myself and was almost on the edge of collapsing. Looking back I don't know how I pulled on. Everything went wrong from the beginning and it was a huge mess. I had to grit my teeth and somehow pull on by sheer will power. Many a time I thought of quitting. But leaving the battle field mid way is not my style. All this had affected me and my health very badly. I could not eat properly or even sleep. Lots of travelling, meeting dead lines...phew! It was a horrible night mare like situation. I feel so burnt out and very tired.
Well all it matters is now I am slowly recovering and gaining my strength bit by bit. I will take it easy in the next few weeks. So friends, I have already picked up my needles, tools or what ever and got back to my passion of Arts N Crafts Projects. I may no [...]

Solyndra Loan Deal: Warnings About Legality Came From Within Obama Administration -- Washington Post
Energy Department officials were warned that their plan to help a failing solar company by restructuring its $535 million federal loan could violate the law and should be cleared with the Justice Department, according to newly obtained e-mails from within the Obama administration.
The e-mails show that Energy Department officials moved ahead anyway with a new deal that would repay company investors before taxpayers if the company defaulted. The e-mails, which were reviewed by The Washington Post, show for the first time concerns within the administration about the legality of the Energy Department's extraordinary efforts to help Solyndra, the California solar company that went bankrupt Aug. 31.

The 54 Trillion Dollar Question: Is Obama On His Way Out? -- Daily Mail
As America approaches the third anniversary of Barack Obama's historic election victory, the country is mired in economic gloom.
Expectations were absurdly high in the autumn of 2008, stoked up not least by the victor's own campaign team. Yet Americans now seem bemused by how, exactly, it could all have gone so wrong.
In the run-up to his election victory, Mr Obama won praise for keeping quiet about the economy. It was the time of the collapse of investment bank Lehman Brothers, and the financial situation was shifting quickly: since it was hard for anyone to predict what would come next, silence seemed wise.
Bayern Munich confirmed star winger Arjen Robben has undergone another operation on his pubic bone.
The Holland international was forced to pull out of the Oranje squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Moldova and Sweden on Wednesday and, after flying back to Munich, went under the knife this morning.
The procedure means the 27-year-old will be out for at least 10 days.
A Bayern statement read: "Over the past few days some inflammation has developed around the pubic bone.
"That tissue was successfully removed this morning.
