...same time, she is maneuvering for position as the race for 2012 warms up. Palin is making time to help a roster of Republican candidates between now and November. She laughs off the notion that rough language might incite further acts of aggression against Democrats; instead, she's put crosshair markings on her Facebook page to identify lawmakers she has targeted for defeat in the fall election. Quippy and tart, she mocks the "lamestream media" for distracting voters by distorting GOP positions. And by carefully controlling her own visibility, she has become more irresistible as cable-news and viral content...
...some Republicans might incite further acts of aggression, threats and abusive language that have come against legislators in the wake of the final health care vote. Palin herself has been the subject of criticism for urging her followers to "reload" rather than "retreat" after passage, and for using crosshair markings on her Facebook page to identify the list of Democrats she has targeted for defeat in the fall election. Quippy and tart, she mocked the "lamestream media," and offered her usual punch of charm and charisma, something the public and the press have hungered for since she mostly limited...
...visitors cut played the nation's second-ranked team for two periods in front of 5116 hostile fans. Scott Fusco put the Crimson up 4:36 into the match, tucking a shot just under the crosshair.

...split images-one of widespread, indiscriminate destruction in residential areas, the other of selective military targets bombed with crosshair precision-come together only when maps of the military targets are laid over maps of the cities and towns of North Viet Nam. Then it is at once evident that many of those targets lay smack in the middle of the most populous metropolitan and suburban areas in the North. The Hanoi thermal power plant, for instance, was only 1,000 yds. from the very center of the city. A main petroleum storage area was only 200 yds. from the Bach...
...sighting mechanism, together weighing 90 lbs. The bombardier makes only three adjustments by hand: one for the weight of the bombs (which can be done before the flight), the others for altitude and sighting on the target. The bombardier's adjustments in lining up the target through the crosshair sight turn the plane in the right direction by means of an automatic pilot. Everything else-the bombing plane's speed, altitude, wind drift, etc. is registered automatically. The bombsight even releases the bombs, at the right, split-second moment...
