No, it was a reference to a crappy 70s movie. There were a few of them that came out around the same time. I was really young and I even thought at the time that they were pretty bad.

He was a white boy who lived in the jungle who they filmed around 1973. Check that, he may have been found in Africa. Kind of confusing

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: They Can't Keep Getting Away With This

The incident comes just more than a week after the Truman lost an F/A-18 jet and a connected tow tractor when the pair fell overboard while being towed around the carrier's hangar deck. Officials said the most recent incident was caused by a failure in some part of the arresting equipment used to bring the jet to a halt on the carrier's flight deck, and both aviators ejected safely from the aircraft. The pair of sailors were recovered by a rescue helicopter and found to have minor injuries, the defense officials said. Separately, one defense official confirmed to Military.com that the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired at the Truman carrier on Tuesday as well -- despite claims of a brokered ceasefire from the White House that began Monday. "They've announced to us, at least, that they don't want to fight anymore," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday. "We will stop the bombings, and they have capitulated." However, it was unclear whether the jet falling overboard was related to the incoming fire. It was also unclear if the arresting equipment failure was with the arresting wire that is designed to stop an aircraft during a carrier landing or with the hook on the fighter not catching on the wire. In last week's incident, a U.S. official confirmed to Military.com that initial reports indicated the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard. Under the Trump administration, more officials have been reluctant to speak on the record using their names, even in cases of standard day-to-day military events or incidents that would have been directly attributed in the past. CNN was the first outlet to report the story of Tuesday's jet loss. Military.com reached out to the Navy for comment on its sailors and equipment, but the service referred questions on the incident to U.S. Central Command, which oversees the operations in the region. In December, the USS Gettysburg, a Navy cruiser, downed another F/A-18 fighter jet from the Truman in a friendly fire incident. That jet's two aviators were also forced to eject, and one suffered minor injuries. The jets in the most recent incident and the friendly fire belonged to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11. The jet that rolled off the deck last week was from VFA 136. An individual F/A-18 fighter jet costs between $60 million and $70 million, depending on the configuration. To lose three fighter jets on a single deployment is incredibly unusual, but Truman's deployment, which began in September of last year, also featured a collision with another ship. On Feb. 12, the Navy revealed the Truman had collided with a merchant vessel roughly half its size, the Besiktas-M, just before midnight local time while sailing near Port Said, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea. The city, which sits at the northern opening to the Suez Canal, is an area of dense maritime traffic, with ships coming in and out of the canal, as well as others waiting to begin their transit. As a result of the incident, the Navy fired the ship's commanding officer and ordered a port visit to Souda Bay, Crete, for repairs. On Tuesday, officials in the Pentagon could not say when the Truman is set to return home. In 2022, the USS Harry S. Truman also lost an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet in the waters of the Mediterranean when the jet was blown overboard "due to unexpected heavy weather" as the ship was conducting an at-sea resupply.

Nursing Student Killed in Roommate Cat Dispute May 5, 2025 by David Jones A Texas nursing student, just days away from her graduation, was tragically killed in a dispute over pets with her roommate, according to law enforcement officials. Chester Lamar Grant, 40, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Tamilore Odunsi, a 23-year-old originally from the U.K., on April 26 in Houston. Police were called to an apartment on the south side of the city for a welfare check in the late afternoon. Upon arrival, they received no response at the front door. A subsequent search of the premises led them to the back of the apartment where they discovered blood on the concrete patio. Upon entering the apartment, officers found Odunsi in the kitchen, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Grant was also located in the bedroom, with at least one stab wound. Odunsi was pronounced dead at the scene, while Grant was transported to the hospital with critical injuries. Local law enforcement informed CBS affiliate KHOU that the pair had been living together for a few months and had been arguing over their cats. The disagreement escalated, resulting in Grant allegedly stabbing Odunsi and then attempting to take his own life. Grant was later transported to the Harris County Jail and is currently being held on a $500,000 bond. Odunsi’s family has set up a GoFundMe account in her memory. Known as Tami Dollars or TD on TikTok, Odunsi was described as a “beautiful soul, full of light, ambition, and kindness.” A devout Christian, she was actively involved in her church community and was known for her service to others. Odunsi had aspirations of becoming a nurse and had a particular interest in working with children. Her family expressed their grief over her untimely death, describing it as “an unimaginable loss at a moment that should have marked the beginning of a bright and promising future.” Grant is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday. -

The tables have turned, and Putin’s Russia is now in dire trouble Story by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard Sir Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron have together pulled off a remarkable feat of high statecraft. They may have averted a strategic debacle of the first order in Ukraine, and with it irreparable damage to the credibility of the West. The long-fraught US-Ukraine minerals deal signed in Washington – actually a shale gas deal – is a radically different document from Donald Trump’s original demand for $350bn (£262bn) of war debt “reparations” and the US colonial takeover of the country’s infrastructure. The full story behind Trump’s Damascene conversion will emerge over time, but Ukrainian officials say the British and French leaders played a critical role in steering the US president away from his pro-Kremlin infatuation, as did Boris Johnson. It was this patient whispering that paved the way for the Trump-Zelensky tête-à-tête on the marble floors of St Peter’s in Rome. Jonathan Powell, Downing Street’s unflappable national security adviser, will deserve his knighthood when the time comes, and something more than bachelor grade if this is indeed the turning point after weeks of diplomatic calamities. The tables have turned: it is suddenly Vladimir Putin who is in trouble, trying to hold together an exhausted war economy as the price of Urals crude crashes to $56 a barrel – from $77 in mid-January – and as the global economic downturn tips the whole commodity complex into a cascading bear market. The spot price of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Asia has fallen 30pc over two months. It comes as China tries to charm Europe, urgently seeking to preempt any EU moves to raise its own barriers against a diversionary flood of Chinese exports shut out of America. Xi Jinping may have to dial down his “no-limits friendship” with Putin – and reduce his covert help for Russia’s war – if he wants a serious hearing. The minerals accord remains a bitter pill for Kyiv to swallow, but at least it is plausibly compatible with the Ukrainian constitution and does not obstruct EU membership. Deputy prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko says Ukraine retains full ownership of “all resources on our territory”. Ukraine will be able to purchase US weapons on a quasi “lend-lease” basis. The first $50m tranche of military support was approved last night. The debt clock starts ticking from today, wiping the slate clean on the $120bn in total American aid since the war began, most of which was spent on production within the US or consisted of semi-obsolete inventory due to be scrapped. Neither side will have a controlling vote over the investment fund. The US pledges to help Ukraine mobilise capital via the Development Finance Corporation, the geopolitical arm of the US treasury and commerce departments. This opens the way for serious investment in the shale gas resources of the Yuzivska field. As I reported earlier this month, an internal study by Ukrainian experts concluded that the carbon ratio, porosity and thickness match the best US shale basins in the Marcellus and Permian. “We could replace half the lost Russian gas exports to Europe,” said Andríy Kóbolyev, ex-head of Ukraine’s energy giant Naftogaz. If so, Russia can kiss goodbye to its European gas market forever. Ukrainian pipeline gas and American LNG will suffice. Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, warned Putin that the deal committed Washington to “a peace process centred on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine”. One never knows quite whom to believe when the Trump administration speaks, but the Kremlin has clearly overplayed its hand, miscalculating how far it could push its maximalist demands and how long it could keep stringing along a prickly and impatient US president. Republican senator and Trump golf partner Lindsey Graham is going for the jugular. He may soon have a veto-proof 67 votes in the Senate for legislation that imposes 500pc punitive tariffs on any country that buys Russian energy or strategic minerals, if the Kremlin “refuses to negotiate a peace agreement, violates a peace agreement or invades Ukraine again in the future”. Russia’s “hot Keynesian” war machine is now in the same state of exhaustion as the imperial German war machine in 1917. Germany had been able to preserve something close to a normal civilian economy over the early years of the First World War but the Allied blockade, chronic shortages, lack of manpower and money eventually forced the military to take over the whole productive apparatus. That too failed, and ultimately incubated Weimar hyperinflation. Russia has depleted the liquid and usable reserves of its rainy-day fund. Military spending almost certainly exceeds 10pc of GDP in one way or another and it is being funded off-books by coercing the banks into lending some $250bn to defence contractors, storing up a crisis for the banking system. Is that what Anton Siluanov, Russia’s finance minister, was referring to this week when he advised Russians to read Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Souls and Anton Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard, the first about fraudulent finance, the second about crippling debts? He has already introduced a string of new taxes this year. He is now drawing up fresh emergency measures. The trade-off between guns and butter can be postponed no longer. Serious austerity is coming for the first time since Putin launched his fateful misadventure. Russia is no longer the proverbial “petrol station masquerading as a country” but it still relies on raw material exports to fund a quarter of the budget. Oil exports fund the war. Kirill Bakhtin, from BCS, says tighter US and UK sanctions on Russia’s shadow fleet – Biden’s parting shot – have pushed the discount on Urals crude to around $15. That lowers the de facto market value of Russian crude exports to $45. Another big drop from here, which may well happen as Saudi Arabia keeps adding barrels to an oversupplied market, would make it extremely hard for Russia to keep prosecuting the war beyond the summer. The latest Russian offensive has largely petered out, at terrible human cost. Russia is not close to conquering the four oblasts so presumptuously annexed. “The movements on the map are tiny, and have nothing of strategic value. Ukraine is big enough to trade space for time,” said a Western military expert on the ground. “The Ukrainians can’t take back lost territory, but they’re not going to get rolled over either. This has come down to a war of economic attrition. It’s what’s happening in the Russian rear that decides this.” Trump may change his mind again. The mineral deal does not give Ukraine a bankable security guarantee. Europe is fractious and weary. But the balance of probability is that Vladimir Putin will now fail to turn Ukraine into a castrated vassal state along the lines of Belarus. He may keep the land he already holds and win legal recognition of Crimea, at least from Washington. But if the far-Right ultranationalist hawks in Russia compel him to hold out for total victory, he may not even keep that.

100K is a lot more money than most college kids get coming out of school and an athlete's expenses are a lot less than recent graduates. So if you get 5 paydays, basically you can get out of school with a $500K bank account provided you are smart with your money and don't spend it on hookers and blow. -
I wonder if pool builders will switch to fiberglass reinforced rebar (GFRB) or graphite reinforced rebar (FRP) and if it would solve the problem of pool cancer. It just seems like the lack of fly ash (or whatever they blame the problem on) is a bit distorted. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like concrete along the coast has consistent problems holding up over the years even though you would think salt water would seep into the rebar reinforced concrete.
