• Second Disqualification: Newt Gingrich Fails to Make the Va. Ballot

  In reply to 408 CheyTac.

  Nothing fishy in Va. I have run for office and had to get registered voter signatures. You have to have a required number depending on the election (Local ones 150, National 10,000 (with at least 400 from each Cong. district) . I have also seen people in local elections not qualify for now having the required number of registered voters. I have also seen how our Voter Registrar’s check the signatures. They compare petitions to the voter data base and the name and ADDRESS have to match the data base. It is simple. All one has to do is follow the rules. By the way the Voter Registrar is non-partisan and they just follow the established rules.

• Air Force Drones Infected With Unknown Computer Virus That Won’t Go Away

  In reply to Lateris.

  Your last item (#5) is backwards. Stop using proprietary software and START using Open Source software. An open source operating system would not have allowed the virus to get in to infect the AF drone control systems.

• Boy Scout Found Alive: 12-Year-Old Built Shelter to Make it Through the Night in Utah Forest

  Not sure why he travelled five miles and I don’t know what his surrounding were. The rule is STOP (Stop, Think, Observe, Plan). There has been no mention of his carrying the TEN Scout Essentials. 1. Pocket knife, 2. First Aid Kit, 3. Extra Clothing, 4. Rain gear, 5. Extra Food (trail), 6. Matches or fire starter, 7. Water, 8. Trail maps and compass, 9. Flashlight, 10. Sun protection SPF 30 or higher.

  These do not take up much space and will assist in survival.
  I am an Eagle Scout.
