Bill Hemmer (born William George Hemmer, on November 14, 1964 in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American television news anchor. [1]

Bill Hemmer joined FOX News Channel in 2005 as a correspondent and is currently the weekday co-anchor of “America’s Newsroom.” [4]

America’s Newsroom anchors Megyn Kelly and Bill Hemmer took a fact-check of some recent campaign ads from Sens. [5]

[6]

Mr. Hemmer, 43, made his name at CNN, where he rose quickly through the ranks over the course of a decade, reporting from the likes of Kosovo and Afghanistan and hosting a series of morning news shows. [2]

Last night’s “Character & Conduct” documentary special about Sen. Barack Obama was the top-rated documentary of the year for Fox News in both Total Viewers and the A25-54 demo. [5]

Prior to FNC, Hemmer worked as an anchor and correspondent at CNN where he co-hosted “American Morning.” [...] A recipient of several awards and honors, including a 1996 Emmy Award, Hemmer began his career as a weekend sports anchor for WCPO-TV (CBS) in Cincinnati, Ohio. [4]

Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin will reprise their ringing in of the new year tonight. [1]

It’s Anderson Cooper — the intrepid, intelligent and unassumingly sexy CNN anchor we can’t get enough of. [2]

NATIONAL COMING OUT Day came and went last week without any public declarations from celebrities or other public figures long rumored to be gay, but who simply refuse to acknowledge their sexual orientation. [3]

Warren was an aggressive supporter of Proposition 8, which recently stripped gay citizens of California of their right to marry. [4]

Last Thursday, a character named Kenneth on 30 Rock was being used as bait for Will Arnett’s gay, West Coast TV exec character. [...] * November 2006: An Onion headline reads, “Afghan warlord takes Anderson Cooper as 43rd wife.” [5]

NY Assemblyman Daniel O’Donnell interviews with David Paterson for Clinton Senate seat: ” To say Mr. O’Donnell, known for his active support of gay rights issues, including same-sex marriage, was overly optimistic about his chances would be a stretch. [1]

Why is someone’s sexuality so defining that you cannot appreciate talent, personality and/or any other attribute of the above mentioned celebrities. [3]

Anderson Hays Cooper (born June 3, 1967) is an American journalist, author and television personality. [6]

Kevin Naff is managing editor of the Washington Blade and can be reached at knaff@washblade.com. [3]

* November 2005: Anderson Cooper’s gayness saturates Middle America. [5]

He left The Mole after its second season to return to broadcast news in 2001 at CNN, commenting that: “Two seasons was enough, and 9/11 happened, and I thought I needed to be getting back to news. [6]

Musto has been dining out on AC’s homosexuality since November 11, 2003, when he picked up a quote from Metrosource, a gay magazine, in which Anderson was referred to as an “openly gay news anchor” in the mag’s list of 50 people they love. [...] * September 2005: A New York magazine profile of Cooper calls him the “emo-anchor” and asks him, point blank, if he’s gay. [5]

ANDERSON COOPER MAY be the most ubiquitous personality on cable television these days. [3]

kapustin yar

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

The third Soviet launch site is near Kapustin Yar on the Volga River below the city of Volgograd at about, 48.4? N. latitude, 45.8? E. longitude, also in European Russia. [1]

The Kapustin Yar Missile Test Complex, also known as the 4th State Central Range, was a major missile range used by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. [2]

Kapustin Yar is located on the banks of the Volga River, about 75 miles east of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) and less than 30 miles east of Kazakhstan. [3]

Birth of the Soviet missile development program in the aches of the World War II preditermined the creation of the Kapustin Yar test range. [4]

The major factors which favored Kapustin Yar over other locations were the access by railroad, relative proximity to industrial infrastructure of the city of Stalingrad (Volgograd) on Volga River and land availability for the construction of the range. [5]

Kapustin Yar was known to have been used for over 3519 major launches from 1946 to 2007. [6]

Independent Working Group Report: Missile Defense, the Space Relationship, and the Twenty-First Century. [2]

According to some reports a British mission known as Project Robin flew a Canberra reconnaissance over the Kapustin Yar missile test site in 1953. [3]

The author will appreciate receiving eyewitness accounts, recollections and documents related to the involvement of German citizens in the Soviet rocket program, as well as comments on already published material. [5]

The last major launch conducted at Kapustin Yar was in 1987. [2]

The last facility, which only launched the smallest space boosters, conducted its final orbital mission in 1987 and is no longer a part of the Russian Military Space Forces which manages all launch activities. [3]

By that time the new launch site located 30 kilometers from the processing area was built at the range, the initial road construction and housing was also completed. [4]

In the middle 1950’s before the first Sputnik, Aviation Week magazine revealed the United States had a radar station in Turkey which used radar to follow missile and test rocket firings from this point. [1]

The first launch of the A-4 rocket designated No. 010T, was preceded by a short delay caused by the failure of the ignition system. [5]

The 1946 decree, officially founding the rocket industry in the country, directed the Ministry of Armed Forces led by Bulganin to propose the location for the Central Test Range for all jet-propelled weapons. [4]
