PRETTY CLEVER THOSE ISRAELIES
Hundreds of Hezbollah Members Wounded Across Lebanon After Pager Devices Used by Iran-Backed Group Simultaneously Explode
A significant number of Hezbollah members, including both fighters and medical personnel, were severely injured when their communication devices, specifically pagers, unexpectedly detonated. This information was shared by a security source. A Hezbollah official, who wished to remain anonymous, described the incident to Reuters as the most substantial security failure the group has experienced in almost a year of ongoing conflict with Israel.
The stunning incident, which saw scores of Hezbollah members severely injured throughout southern Lebanon and in its capital Beirut, constitutes the single largest intelligence breach in the militant outfit’s history, a Hezbollah official said. The sudden and unexpected detonations gave way to widespread panic and chaotic scenes in Beirut, with various images depicting victims sporting significant wounds as they lay on the ground surrounded by terrified bystanders.

On his first day, he is placed in charge of the copying of holy texts.
He notices that all the other monks are not copying the original texts but are copying previous copies.
So, he approaches one of the elder monks and says…
“Do you realize, if there is an error in one of the copies, all of the subsequent copies will contain the same error?”
The elder monk replies, “We have been doing it this way for centuries, but I understand your concern.”
The elder monk heads to the vault to check the main copies against the original texts…
Hours later, he has not returned and they begin to worry.
So, they send a monk to the vault to check on him…
The monk finds him sitting and weeping next to the original texts.
He asks the elder monk, “What’s wrong? What did you find?”
The elder monk looks at him with pain in his eyes and says…
“It says, celebrate!”

The Most Popular Song the Year You Were Born
Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, and it’s easy to spend hours reminiscing about days gone by. It’s especially fun to look back at — and of course, listen to — the music that was popular during our childhood. Since 1940, Billboard magazine has been compiling the most widely purchased and played songs year after year. Originally, the Billboard charts ranked songs based on various categories, such as record sales and radio playtime. But in 1958, Billboard unveiled the Hot 100 chart, which compiled those metrics into a definitive list of the top tunes each year. Let’s take a look back at the most popular songs of each year of the past century, based on these lists and other early data.
1920s
The 1920s were the decade in which pop music became a distinct genre of its own. In fact, the term “pop music” was actually coined in 1926 to refer to any widely “popular” songs. But given that it was still such a nascent concept, there were no existing methods for tracking a song’s popularity over time. In fact, it wasn’t until the 1930s that anyone compiled an official weekly music chart that took into account sales and airplay. Despite the lack of an authoritative industry list, it’s possible to identify the most popular songs based on contemporary records such as The Billboard theatrical digest and historical compilations that generally reference the same tunes as the biggest hits in a given year. Here’s a look at the top tunes from each year of this formative decade.
1920 — “Swanee” by Al Jolson
1921 — “I Ain’t Got Nobody” by Marion Harris
1922 — “My Man” by Fanny Brice
1923 — “Down Hearted Blues” by Bessie Smith
1924 — “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin
1925 — “Sweet Georgia Brown” by Ben Bernie
1926 — “Bye Bye, Blackbird” by Gene Austin
1927 — “Stardust” by Hoagy Carmichael
1928 — “Blue Yodel No. 1 (T for Texas)” by Jimmie Rodgers
1929 — “Makin’ Whoopee” by Eddie Cantor

The 1930s were dominated by legendary artists such as Cab Calloway and Fred Astaire. In 1935, a program called Your Hit Parade debuted on TV and radio, and published the first weekly music chart in the U.S., preceding the Billboard charts by five years. The list took into account multiple factors such as record sales and total radio plays, and it debuted with “Soon” by Bing Crosby in the No. 1 spot for the inaugural week of April 20, 1935. The top song of the entire decade, meanwhile, was “My Reverie” by Larry Clinton, which stayed at No. 1 for eight weeks in 1938.
1930 — “Happy Days Are Here Again” by Ben Selvin
1931 — “Minnie the Moocher” by Cab Calloway & His Cotton Club Orchestra

1934 — “Moonglow” by Benny Goodman

1950s
The early 1950s continued many of the musical trends from the 1940s, as bandleaders and musical standards continued to dominate the top of the charts — that is, until Elvis Presley showed up and revolutionized the music scene. Elvis topped the charts in both 1956 and 1957, the two years that preceded the first-ever Hot 100 ranking. In 1958, the weekly Hot 100 chart debuted with Ricky Nelson’s “Poor Little Fool” in the No. 1 spot, though it was “Volare” by Domenico Modugno that ended up being the best-performing song that year, based on the number of weeks it spent on the chart, the number of records sold, and how much airplay it received.
1950 — “Goodnight Irene” by Gordon Jenkins and His Orchestra and the Weavers
1951 — “How High the Moon” by Les Paul and Mary Ford
1952 — “Cry” by Johnnie Ray and the Four Lads
1953 — “The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)” by Percy Faith and His Orchestra featuring Felicia Sanders
1954 — “Little Things Means a Lot” by Kitty Kallen with Jack Pleiss and His Orchestra
1955 — “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” by Pérez Prado and His Orchestra
1956 — “Don’t Be Cruel” by Elvis Presley
1957 — “All Shook Up” by Elvis Presley
1958 — “Volare (Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blue)” by Domenico Modugno
1959 — “The Battle of New Orleans” by Johnny Horton
1960s
The 1960s saw a seismic shift in the types of songs people listened to. While the year 1960 saw the orchestral “Theme From a Summer Place” top the Hot 100, it wasn’t long until pop acts began dominating the charts: The Beatles reached No. 1 for the first time with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” in 1964, and also produced the most popular song of 1968, “Hey Jude.” Some songs, such as 1965’s “Wooly Bully,” never actually reached No. 1, but still performed better in terms of overall sales and total airplay than any other song that year. By the end of the 1960s, pop and rock music had completely displaced orchestral tunes as the most popular music genres in the country.
1960 — “Theme From a Summer Place” by Percy Faith
1961 — “Tossin’ and Turnin’” by Bobby Lewis
1962 — “Stranger on the Shore” by Acker Bilk
1963 — “Sugar Shack” by Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs

1967 — “To Sir With Love” by Lulu
1968 — “Hey Jude” by the Beatles
1969 — “Sugar, Sugar” by the Archies
1970s

AdvertisementThe 1970s were a time of rich musical diversity. The decade opened with the folksy vocal stylings of Simon & Garfunkel atop the charts, but by 1979, the Hot 100 was all about powerful drums and raging guitar solos, and the Knack’s “My Sharona” was the most popular song in the decade’s final year. During the years in between, legendary performers such as Barbra Streisand, Rod Stewart, and Paul McCartney’s Wings topped the charts.
1970 — “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel
1971 — “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night
1972 — “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by Roberta Flack
1973 — “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” by Dawn featuring Tony Orlando

1977 — “Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright)” by Rod Stewart
1978 — “Shadow Dancing” by Andy Gibb
1979 — “My Sharona” by the Knack
1980s
Acts such as George Michael, Prince, and the Police dominated the 1980s with their smash hit songs, many of which began to incorporate melancholic themes and relied heavily on minor keys. What’s notable about this decade is that pretty much every one of the top-performing songs continues to get widespread airplay today, proving just how much of an impact the 1980s had on the musical world.
1980 — “Call Me” by Blondie
1981 — “Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes
1982 — “Physical” by Olivia Newton-John
1983 — “Every Breath You Take” by the Police
1984 — “When Doves Cry” by Prince
1985 — “Careless Whisper” by Wham! featuring George Michael
1986 — “That’s What Friends Are For” by Dionne and Friends
1987 — “Walk Like an Egyptian” by the Bangles
1988 — “Faith” by George Michael
1989 — “Look Away” by Chicago
1990s
The 1990s saw the rise of R&B and rap music. Boys II Men topped the Hot 100 in 1992 with “End of the Road,” and 1995 saw Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” climb to No. 1. Meanwhile, Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind 1997” topped the Hot 100 chart as a tribute to the late Princess Diana. In fact, that song is the second-highest-selling physical single of all time, with 33 million copies sold, around 17 million fewer copies than Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas.”
1990 — “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips
1991 — “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” by Bryan Adams
1992 — “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men

As the only surviving member of this group I thought I’d give a brief history. It was called the “fencing unit” and was created by then Lieutenant Stan Horton. We were the second PD in the country to have such a unit. Portland Oregon was the first.
It was made up of me, Jim Cornelius, Jay Martin, Lyle Rice, Stan Horton & Lloyd Meister.
We were called in on “in custody” burglary & narco cases to interview the suspects and obtain info on their fencing connections. We would “turn” some of them getting them to let us “meet up” with their fence connections. To avoid entrapment issues we did a lot of surveillance on them plus “turning” their customers, getting evidence and locating where their warehouses were located. We then brought them (what they thought) was stolen property and received money/drugs/guns etc.
Since our property was from the PD property room and not actually stolen up to now all we had was the crime of attempted receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor.
After a sale of usually a tv or two we would follow the suspect with the items to their warehouses and obtain search warrants thus locating other victims stuff. We did this for about two years and were quite successful resulting in the expansion of the unit into the Burglary Prevention Unit (BPU).
Editor’s Note: With fond memories in mind, Cheryl and I taking a boat ride with Jim:

Word Lesson for the day……………….
Today’s lesson is the word “irony”.
Once in a while, we have to stand back in awe of our government.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever – to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior, asks us: “Please Do Not Feed the Animals.” Their stated reason for the policy is because “the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”
Thus ends today’s lesson with irony…
IS THIS REAL?
