"This will help us to understand better the situation in Syria and the relationship between political and armed opposition groups so we can properly support political transition," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement Wednesday. Hague said that authorities from his office "will make every effort" to guarantee they are engaging just with legitimate participants of the opposition which any contact will certainly occur outside Syria. An Israeli Merkava tank staff sits in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights forgeting the Syrian village of Breqa on Tuesday, November 6. An Israeli military auto in the Golan Heights was struck by gunfire from Syria on Monday, the Israeli army said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

ELMIRA, N.Y. –  A postcard mailed nearly 70 years ago has finally arrived at the former upstate New York home of the couple who sent it. The postcard was sent July 4, 1943, from Rockford, Ill. , to sisters Pauline and Theresa Leisenring in Elmira. Their brother, George Leisenring, was stationed at Rockford's Medical Center Barracks at Camp Grant, an Army post during World War II. Their parents were visiting him when they mailed the postcard home. The postcard reads in part, "Dear Pauline and Theresa, We arrived safe, had a good trip, but we were good and tired." Elmira's Star-Gazette newspaper reports the postcard arrived last week at the family's former home, where a different family now lives. A postal official says the postcard may have been found by someone outside the postal service and placed in the mail.
