Most young kids wouldn't be thrilled about their parents dropping unexpectedly by at school. But one elementary student was moved to tears by his dad's surprise visit.
Specialist Matthew Peters from Owensville, Mo., popped into the cafeteria of Washington West Elementary School to give his son, Blake, a long overdue hug. Peters had been deployed in Kuwait and Iraq for a year and hadn't seen his son since February.
To bolster the surprise, Peters had told Blake on the phone that he'd be home 10 days later than when he actually showed up.
Blake hugged his dad tightly, dissolving into tears, while his classmates clapped and cheered.
On Thursday, September 15, 2011 Matthew Peters of Owensville surprised his son Blake while he was eating lunch at Washington West Elementary School.

Teenage Burglary Suspect Caught in Gasconade County

__________________________________________________________________________
The Gasconade County Sheriff’s Response Team (SRT) was dispatched Thursday afternoon to raid a vacant farmhouse near Drake where a Washington burglary suspect was hiding. The SRT arrested the 15-year-old male suspect, who was found sitting in the living room holding two knives. The suspect relinquished the knives and was arrested without incident, Gasconade County Sheriff Randy Esphorst reported. The suspect was turned over to Franklin County juvenile authorities and later taken to the juvenile detention center in St. Charles County. The teen is suspected of stealing three handguns after breaking into a home off of East Lane Drive Monday, Sept. 19, according to police detectives. The suspect evaded law enforcement authorities for several days until city detectives learned that he possibly was hiding at the farmhouse near Drake that was owned by the family of a friend. Sheriff Esphorst said SRT members searched the home but did not find any of the stolen handguns. Police said it’s believed the teen entered the home through a bathroom window and left through a kitchen door. A backpack containing textbooks with the teen’s name inside was found outside the house, according to police. Detective Sgt. Brad Erisman said that the handguns had not been recovered as of Friday morning. . The investigation is continuing and may result in the arrest of a second suspect for receiving stolen property, Erisman said.

Internet Hits All-Time High as News Source, TV at All-Time Low, Says Pew
By Terence P. Jeffrey
September 24, 2011 cnsnews.com
__________________________________________________________________________
(CNSNews.com) - The Internet has risen to its all-time high as a primary source of news for Americans with 43 percent now saying they get most of their news on national and international issues from the web, according to a survey published Thursday by the Pew Research Center for The People & The Press.
Meanwhile, television sits at an all-time low as a primary source of news for Americans with only 66 percent now saying they get most of their national and international news from TV--a nadir television also hit in December 2010.
Since 1991, Pew has periodically asked Americans: “How do you get most of your news about national and international issues?”
In this survey, respondents are allowed to give up to two answers. (So, a person can cite both television and the Internet, or television and radio, or newspapers and television, etc., as the places where they get most of their news--and the combined percentages for the various sources can add up to more than 100 percent).
In the two decades Pew has been tracking this trend in American news sources, television peaked as the primary source of news for Americans at the time s of the September 2001 terrorist attacks, when 90 percent said they got most of their news from TV. Television nearly returned to that level in March 2003, during the invasion of Iraq, and September 2005, during Hurricane Katrina. At both those times, 89 percent said they got most of their national and international news from TV.
However, during normal news times--when there was not a major act of war or natural disaster--TV hit its apex in January 1996, when 88 percent said it was the place they got most of their national and international news.
The Internet first appeared in Pew’s survey of news sources in January 1999, when 6 percent said the web was where they got most of their news about national and international issues.
Overall, in Pew’s latest survey, 66 percent said television was their primary source for national and international news, 43 percent said the Internet, 31 percent said newspapers, 19 percent said radio, 3 percent said magazines, and 4 percent said it was another source.
For the survey released yesterday, Pew interviewed 1,501 adults from July 20-24. The survey;s margin of error of +/- 3.5 points

Fox News Pulls Poll Showing Ron Paul Debate Victory, Claims Mitt Romney Won
Poll showed Paul trouncing Romney by 11,000 votes

Friday, September 23, 2011
The establishment media’s relentless campaign to denigrate Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential campaign has manifested itself once again, after a poll showing Paul had won last night’s Orlando debate was pulled by Fox News who later published an article claiming Mitt Romney had instead claimed the victory. When we took a screenshot of the poll at around 5am CST this morning, the result showed Paul easily beating his nearest rival Romney by 11,000 clear votes, with Paul at almost 40% and Romney trailing at just under 23%.
After our screenshot of the poll was posted on the ever-popular Drudge Report website, Fox News pulled the page that had previously housed the poll entirely. But the network went further, subsequently publishing an article by National Review editor and Fox News contributor Rich Lowry opining that Mitt Romney had in fact won the debate, thereby completely ignoring their own website poll, which restricts users to one vote per IP address.
Indeed, Lowry didn’t even mention Ron Paul once in his 13 paragraph piece, despite giving praise to Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Herman Cain – all of whom performed miserably in Fox News’ own post-debate poll. Ron Paul got nearly double the amount of votes in the poll than all three of them put together, but Lowry completely omitted Paul’s name from his report. As we have previously documented, Fox News, even more so than the likes of MSNBC and CNN, have constantly undermined Paul’s campaign with dirty tricks, including playing the wrong audio of a crowd booing Paul at this year’s CPAC event.
