The Hurricanes arrive in Brisbane on the back of a hefty defeat to the Blues in Round Two and looking to bounce back.
The Hurricanes arrive in Brisbane on the back of a hefty defeat to the Blues in Round Two and hungry to bounce back.
A thrilling second-half in Wellington saw the 'Canes score tries through Julian Savea, who could have had another if he had not been impeded. The outcome instead was a penalty try.
Scores though from Rene Ranger and Frank Halai in the final ten minutes for the Blues, condemned the Hurricanes to a loss in their opening game of the season.
Mark Hammett has made only one change to the side for this week's clash against the Reds, with prop Jeffery Toomaga-Allen coming in at tighthead in place of Ben May.
Hurricanes skipper Conrad Smith fortunately is fit after suffering a concussion last weekend and will face-off in an exciting clash at outside centre with young Reds star Chris Feauai-Sautia.
Meanwhile for the Reds, Aidan Toua will start at full-back as a replacement for Mike Harris. James Slipper again captains the side from tighthead prop, whilst there is a welcome sight in the return of Radike Samo to the Reds bench.
The 2011 champions started hard and fast against the Waratahs and needed every point of their 17-0 buffer to hang on last weekend – Dom Shipperley's early strike and Tapuai's interception putting them out in front.
It took a moment of magic from Reds flanker Ed Quirk to kill the game off after the 'Tahs had levelled the scores, getting their season back on track after a thumping defeat away to the Brumbies in Round One.
Selecting Toua ahead of Harris will give the Reds more of a running-threat from the back and the hosts showed flashes of their open attacking game against the Waratahs.
Where the Reds may come unstuck however is with injuries to key players – Will Genia, James Horwill and Anthony Fainga'a remain sidelined and are up against a well-balanced Hurricanes outfit spearheaded by the experience of Smith, Jason Eaton and Victor Vito – not to mention an exciting half-back combination in TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett and the threat of Savea out wide.
The overall impression is that the Hurricanes can play an awful lot better than they showed against the Blues, whilst the Reds still miss the influence of Genia and Horwill in their decision-making. Both factors make this one close to call.
Prediction: The Hurricanes hold an excellent record over the Reds, with the hosts' last victory over the Wellington franchise coming in 2007. Suncorp Stadium played a key role in the Reds' victory last weekend and their fortress may prove the deciding factor again this time out in a close game. Reds by 6!
The teams:
Reds: 15 Aidan Toua, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Ben Lucas, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Eddie Quirk, 5 Ed O'Donoghue, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper (c), 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 James Hanson, 17 Albert Anae, 18 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 19 Radike Samo, 20 Nick Frisby, 21 Mike Harris, 22 Luke Morahan.
Hurricanes: 15 Andre Taylor, 14 Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Brad Shields, 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Victor Vito, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Ben Franks.

Joe Moran's book Shrinking Violets is a sweeping history that doubles as a (quiet) defense of timidity.
The Heimlich maneuver, in the nearly 50 years since Dr. Henry Heimlich established its protocol, has been credited with saving many lives. But not, perhaps, as many as it might have. The maneuver, otherwise so wonderfully simple to execute, has a marked flaw: It requires that choking victims, before anything can be done to help them, first alert other people to the fact that they are choking. And some people, it turns out, are extremely reluctant to do so. "Sometimes," Dr. Heimlich noted, bemoaning how easily human nature can become a threat to human life, "a victim of choking becomes embarrassed by his predicament and succeeds in getting up and leaving the area unnoticed." If no one happens upon him, "he will die or suffer permanent brain damage within seconds."
"I've never seen anything quite like" Trump's approach to national security, says a former counterterrorism adviser to three presidents.
Updated on February 20 at 4:40 p.m. ET
President Donald Trump has made national security a centerpiece of his agenda, justifying policies ranging from a travel ban to close relations with Russia. But the United States is now more vulnerable to attack than it was before Trump took office, according to the man who served as George W. Bush's crisis manager on 9/11.
"In terms of a major terrorist attack in the United States or on U.S. facilities, I think we're significantly less ready than we were on January 19," said Richard Clarke, who served on the National Security Council in the George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush administrations. "I think our readiness is extremely low and dangerously low. Certainly [government] agencies at a professional level will respond [to an attack], but having a coordinated interagency response is unlikely given the current cast of characters [in the administration] and their experience."
By replacing Mike Flynn with H.R. McMaster, President Donald Trump added one of the most talented officers the U.S. Army has ever produced to his team.
Let me be as clear as I can be: The president's selection of H.R. McMaster to be his new national security advisor is unambiguously good news. The United States, and the world, are safer for his decision.
McMaster is one of the most talented officers the U.S. Army has ever produced. That sounds like hyperbole but isn't. In the Gulf War, he led an armored cavalry troop. At the Battle of 73 Easting—a battle much studied since—his 12 tanks destroyed 28 Iraqi tanks, 16 armored personnel carriers, and 30 trucks. In 23 minutes.
In the next Iraq war, he led a brigade in 2005 and was among the first U.S. commanders to think differently about the conflict and employ counterinsurgency tactics to pacify Tal Afar—one of the most wickedly complex cities in Iraq. He excelled at two different echelons of command in two very different wars.
It's a great physics thought experiment—and an awful accident in 1978.
What would happen if you stuck your body inside a particle accelerator? The scenario seems like the start of a bad Marvel comic, but it happens to shed light on our intuitions about radiation, the vulnerability of the human body, and the very nature of matter. Particle accelerators allow physicists to study subatomic particles by speeding them up in powerful magnetic fields and then tracing the interactions that result from collisions. By delving into the mysteries of the universe, colliders have entered the zeitgeist and tapped the wonders and fears of our age.
Experts on Turkish politics say the use of that term misunderstands what it means in Turkey—and the ways that such allegations can be used to enable political repression.
Over the last week, the idea of a "deep state" in the United States has become a hot concept in American politics. The idea is not new, but a combination of leaks about President Trump and speculation that bureaucrats might try to slow-walk or undermine his agenda have given it fresh currency. A story in Friday's New York Times, for example, reports, "As Leaks Multiply, Fears of a 'Deep State' in America."
It's an idea that I touched on in discussing the leaks. While there are various examples of activity that has been labeled as originating from a "deep state," from Latin America to Egypt, the most prominent example is Turkey, where state institutions contain a core of diehard adherents to the secular nationalism of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, which is increasingly being eroded by the government of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Turkey has seen a series of coups, stretching back to 1960, as well as other activity attributed to a deep state.
The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here's the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.
It's 2021, and President Donald Trump will shortly be sworn in for his second term. The 45th president has visibly aged over the past four years. He rests heavily on his daughter Ivanka's arm during his infrequent public appearances.
Fortunately for him, he did not need to campaign hard for reelection. His has been a popular presidency: Big tax cuts, big spending, and big deficits have worked their familiar expansive magic. Wages have grown strongly in the Trump years, especially for men without a college degree, even if rising inflation is beginning to bite into the gains. The president's supporters credit his restrictive immigration policies and his TrumpWorks infrastructure program.

When my wife was struck by mysterious, debilitating symptoms, our trip to the ER revealed the sexism inherent in emergency treatment.
Early on a Wednesday morning, I heard an anguished cry—then silence.
I rushed into the bedroom and watched my wife, Rachel, stumble from the bathroom, doubled over, hugging herself in pain.
"Something's wrong," she gasped.
This scared me. Rachel's not the type to sound the alarm over every pinch or twinge. She cut her finger badly once, when we lived in Iowa City, and joked all the way to Mercy Hospital as the rag wrapped around the wound reddened with her blood. Once, hobbled by a training injury in the days before a marathon, she limped across the finish line anyway.
So when I saw Rachel collapse on our bed, her hands grasping and ungrasping like an infant's, I called the ambulance. I gave the dispatcher our address, then helped my wife to the bathroom to vomit.
Their history informs fantastical myths and legends, while American tales tend to focus on moral realism.
If Harry Potter and Huckleberry Finn were each to represent British versus American children's literature, a curious dynamic would emerge: In a literary duel for the hearts and minds of children, one is a wizard-in-training at a boarding school in the Scottish Highlands, while the other is a barefoot boy drifting down the Mississippi, beset by con artists, slave hunters, and thieves. One defeats evil with a wand, the other takes to a raft to right a social wrong. Both orphans took over the world of English-language children's literature, but their stories unfold in noticeably different ways.
The small island of Great Britain is an undisputed powerhouse of children's bestsellers: The Wind in the Willows, Alice in Wonderland, Winnie-the-Pooh, Peter Pan, The Hobbit, James and the Giant Peach, Harry Potter, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Significantly, all are fantasies. Meanwhile, the United States, also a major player in the field of children's classics, deals much less in magic. Stories like Little House in the Big Woods, The Call of the Wild, Charlotte's Web, The Yearling, Little Women, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer are more notable for their realistic portraits of day-to-day life in the towns and farmlands on the growing frontier. If British children gathered in the glow of the kitchen hearth to hear stories about magic swords and talking bears, American children sat at their mother's knee listening to tales larded with moral messages about a world where life was hard, obedience emphasized, and Christian morality valued. Each style has its virtues, but the British approach undoubtedly yields the kinds of stories that appeal to the furthest reaches of children's imagination.

Lip service to the crucial function of the Fourth Estate is not enough to sustain it.
It's not that Mark Zuckerberg set out to dismantle the news business when he founded Facebook 13 years ago. Yet news organizations are perhaps the biggest casualty of the world Zuckerberg built.
There's reason to believe things are going to get worse.
A sprawling new manifesto by Zuckerberg, published to Facebook on Thursday, should set off new alarm bells for journalists, and heighten news organizations' sense of urgency about how they—and their industry—can survive in a Facebook-dominated world.
Facebook's existing threat to journalism is well established. It is, at its core, about the flow of the advertising dollars that news organizations once counted on. In this way, Facebook's role is a continuation of what began in 1995, when Craigslist was founded. Its founder, Craig Newmark, didn't actively aim to decimate newspapers, but Craigslist still eviscerated a crucial revenue stream for print when people stopped buying newspaper classifieds ads.

Where do we go from here?
Leafs fans can only sit and stare with vacant expressions at the current standings. What the heck is Brian Burke going to do to right this ship? If this team is going to win a Stanley Cup before Phil Kessel's current contract expires, many things remain to be done, and Burke is running out of time to do them.
Mike Forbes (a.k.a. mf37 over at PPP) joins Danny Gray and I (JP Nikota) for this podcast to discuss the off-season future for the Leafs.
1. What do we have to do to fix the forwards?
Interlude: "The Bends" by Radiohead
2. What do we have to do to fix the defence?
Interlude: "Howlin' For You" by The Black Keys
3. Good gravy, those goalies.
Interlude: "Ever Fallen In Love" by The Buzzcocks
4. So what do we want Burke to do?
Interlude: "French Navy" by Camera Obscura
5. The GMs meeting and propsed rule changes
Interlude: "Weekend Wars" by MGMT
6. The Leafs' 1st rounder
win before kessels contract is up. LOL not going to happen.
get rid of burke his ego and his terrible contracts and maybe leafs will win.
I have really grown to look forward to these podcasts while at work. Whoever created the intro compilation did an amazing job. Thanks for doing these

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
It's the end of January—the holidays are behind us, yet the holiday bills lay before you. Vacations are over, the back-to-work grind is wearing on your patience, and two weeks into the New Year you've already failed on your resolutions, whatever they might be.
Sound familiar? There's a reason these are the most depressing days of the year.
Here's the solution? Eat more chocolate. I'm not kidding. There's no better food to connect the dots between mind and body than the deliciously emotional, palpably physical response we all have to eating pure chocolate," writes Will Cower, PhD, neurophysiologist, neuroscientist, and nutritionist in his new book, Eat Chocolate, Lose Weight. As gimmicky as it might sound, eating chocolate might be the best natural remedy for anxiety you're not using and science has shown that it goes beyond the mere mood –elevating buzz you get from gobbling up a Crunch bar on the way home from work.
Cortisol and Cocoa
You've seen those awful weight-loss commercials. The part that is true is that stress prompts your body to produce cortisol. Research has shown that heavier women have higher levels of cortisol than women of normal weight. Cortisol also triggers the accumulation of abdominal, or visceral, fat, which builds up around your organs and can contribute to depression, along with heart disease and stroke.
In a 2009 study it was reported that people who ate about an ounce of chocolate a day for two weeks saw decreases in cortisol in their systems compared to its levels at the start of the study. Another study a year later showed that, over the course of 30 days, people who ate cocoa daily had 10 percent lower levels of anxiety and considered themselves 10 percent calmer than they had been at the start of the study.
The key to success is prevention, not reaction. Studies finding that chocolate has a positive impact on mood and anxiety all looked at consumption over the course of 30 days, while studies looking at people who consume chocolate in response to stress found those people generally feel as depressed after their chocolate fix as they did before it. They experience a short "mood elevation" that lasts about three minutes, and then disappears. That's just about long enough to reach for another chocolate bar.
Eat Chocolate and Lose Weight
There are over 300 positive chemical compounds in chocolate. Eating chocolate over time allows one's body to build up levels of cocoa's polyphenols, which are responsible for regulating stress hormones. The cocoa polyphenols don't immediately boost mood, satisfaction, calmness or contentedness. This happens only when chocolate is eaten slowly and steadily over a period of time. In other words, a patient chocolate eater is a happy chocolate eater.
Eat It Right
You won't reap the mood-boosting benefits of chocolate by reaching for that bag full of fun-size caramels and nougats, or even by eating a chocolate bar a day. If you want chocolate to truly make a difference and leave you happy and less stressed, your approach to eating it needs to be a little more nuanced.
Dark vs. Milk
Dark chocolate is less stressful than milk chocolate, for lots of reasons. Milk chocolate is loaded with sugar and other additives, while also being devoid of most of cocoa's healthier components. The milk in milk chocolate tends to blocks the body's absorption of the antidepressant antioxidants. Studies analyzing the healthfulness of chocolate rely on dark chocolates with at least 70 percent cacao or even unsweetened 100-percent cocoa powder. Functional chocolates such as Choclatique Q-91 or Choclatique Elephant Chocolate (76%) are perfect for this need.
Eat Small Amounts
Once you find a chocolate you like, take it in small doses. To battle stress and anxiety—take one ounce a day for at least eight weeks. But divide that one ounce into five portions a day. That will be roughly the size of the end joint on your thumb. Stick with an ounce a day. There isn't any evidence that eating more is a benefit that will make you feel even better.
Eat It Slowly
Don't chew, or even suck on, your chocolate pieces. Savor the flavor by letting the chocolate sit on your tongue and melt slowly. The added time you spend slowly tasting your chocolate is time you're not popping more into your mouth. The flavor lingers and your brain thinks you're eating the entire time so you're less likely to overindulge.
Choclatique Dark Chocolates are low in sugar and high in cocoa mass. They are slowly-roasted all the way through. There in no "green" left in the bean. This leaves a very pleasant, fruity flavor in your mouth with cherry, berry, and fruit wine notes—it is never bitter or brittle. Even Choclatique Midnight Unsweetened Chocolate (100% cacao), used primary for baking and cooking, has a tolerable flavor. But, if you're not into dark chocolates, try using cocoa powder like Choclatique Natura Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. About half cup, or eight tablespoons, of 100 percent unsweetened cocoa powder will give you the same nutrients and mood lift as the one ounce of dark chocolate a day. Add a few tablespoons of cocoa powder to your morning oatmeal, use a few teaspoons in your favorite vinaigrette, or cook with it. Avoid "Dutch" cocoa, which has been heavily processed which loses many of the benefits you are looking for.

Rubiks Cube
Rubiks Cube - 1.15
Krzysztof Król (krolu)
Here's my first program in Python using PyGame. It calls "kostka", that means cube. It's a program for searching the solution to Rubik's Cube. It works like this: You program some combination of movements by clicking on arrows arround the spread-ed cube, and then click the Run Test button. After that, program will shuffle the Rubik's cube and begin to do every combination one by one from the list of movements that you program earlier. It looks if the puzzle is solved or after full run is the combination of blocks on the cube is identical with the start combination. If it is then the program will tell you how many movements have been before the puzzle had looped, and if it is not the whole loop start again. The object of that puzzle is to find out is there any combination that repeated over and over will eventually solve the Rubik's Cube. I wish you lots of fun with this program and good luck.
The previous version was mising couple of files and didnt execute. So here's one more time a working version :)

Well, as a standard rule, I strongly recommend The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for your anime viewing pleasure.
Now, onto business: You seem to be the type who favors action over romance or slice of life. If so, then my recommendation list would also include: Neon Genesis Evangelion (a must watch, it has achieved a level of fame almost on par to Dragon Ball), Full Metal Panic (all three seasons, especially fumoffu), Code Geass and Darker than Black. If you want a long running ongoing anime series that satisfies your weekend cravings for pretty much the rest of your life, I would recommend One Piece.
Also, if you prefer drama/slice of life/romance over combat actions, I would recommend Kanon, Air and Clannad.

Lander Field Office
|Release Date: 01/29/13
BLM Lander Seeks Input on Invasive Plant Management
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lander Field Office (LFO) is seeking public input on the use of an integrated pest management approach for invasive plant control.
The LFO will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) analyzing noxious and invasive plant control utilizing a combination of biological, mechanical and chemical methods, including the use of 18 herbicides already approved for use. This EA will be tiered to a 2007 national programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS), Vegetation Treatments Using Herbicides on Bureau of Land Management Lands in 17 Western States, and modified to be used effectively within the LFO area.
"The full use of all available weed control tools will enable the BLM to more effectively control Wyoming state-listed noxious weeds as well as other non-native invasive species such as cheatgrass," said BLM Natural Resource Specialist Tim Kramer.
Though comments or questions related to integrated pest management are welcome at any time, they will be most effective in the preparation of the EA if received by February 27. Comments may be emailed to: firstname.lastname@example.com (please include "Integrated Pest Management EA" in the subject line) or mailed to: Bureau of Land Management, Lander Field Office, Attn: Tim Kramer, 1335 Main Street, Lander, WY 82520.
Before including your address, phone number, email address or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
For more information, please contact Kramer at 307-332-8400 or email@example.com. The 2007 national programmatic EIS is available at www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/more/veg_eis.html.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Is the Vietnam War dead as an 'issue'
(See outstanding 'Miss Saigon' postings)
Thanks for the ping!
I was shocked to learn recently that after America pulled out of the Vietnam war, the Communists took over the country and murdered so many of the freedom-seeking fellow Vietnamese! I have always heard of the tragegy, but honestly was NEVER taught that our withdrawal led to such horror!
The left just made it seem that the US suffered humiliation by going into the war and focused more on our US soldiers losses... rather than highlighting how the Communist swooped in to kill after we left!!
The real evil was WHAT HAPPENED after we pulled out, not that we were there.
Good tried.
Evil tried harder.

TRUTH Bump!!!
2/3 of those who served in VN were volunteers. Ask me how I know...And in forward units, ratio was even higher.
NEVER ever FORGET
As a Radioman-Driver-Orderly to then Lt. Col. HAL G. MOORE, while in 1965's then Free South Vietnam's Central Highlands, I was stunned to witness first hand that there really is such a thing as HATE in this world. And people out there who hate the FREE for ..simply being FREE.
I have since seen directly that LOVE is indeed the Only Reality and GOD is LOVE. And that the one thing The LOVE Itself needs more of in this world is ..more LOVE.
And that only comes when people ..are FREE..!!!
Making soldiers who so selflessly sacrifice to bring more FREEDOM, and thus more LOVE, to the world ..and their loved ones who wait for them to come home or not ..HOLY in GOD's Eyes.
Bringing a broad smile to His Face in the process.
FREE-ing up people to be all that they already are in GOD's Eyes and all that they can be while here on the Planet Earth.
'It's WHO YOU ARE' is sung at the ending of Director RANDALL WALLACE's 2010 Motion Picture "SECRETARIAT." RANDALL wrote the song's words. He also wrote the stirring words to the 'MANSIONS of the LORD' hymn, which is sung at the ending of his 2002 Motion Picture "WE WERE SOLDIERS." For in life, it's not what you have that counts. 'It's WHO YOU ARE.'
'MANSIONS of the LORD' went on to become publically known as 'The REAGAN RECESSIONAL' as well. For it was stirringly sung by the Marine Corps Choir as President RONALD REAGAN's flag draped casket was being carried out from his Washington, D.C. funeral for flight back to his REAGAN Presidential Libary final resting place. This hymn was to be soon heard by tour guests as they leave the Library ..forever.
For President RONALD REAGAN was as much a soldier standing on the front line fighting for the FREEDOM of others, as we soldiers who were physically putting our own lives on the line out there.
Totally untrue.

> It is probably more capitalist now than the US is.
Fellow FReeper visualops posted that his co-worker friend showed him a paper their family got from the Vietnamese government recently saying to move the dead from the family cemetery as the Hanoi government decided they needed the land. I guess that Hanoi decided to adopt our concept of "Eminent Domain". But seriously, I have heard it said that the Vietnamese economy is a mixed economy like China's, with somewhat more government involvement.
Vietnam's economy is booming and a huge amount of capital is being spent on high tech investments in the country. Many western companies are using it as a base of operations since the government has adopted a very capitalist attitude. The Vietnam War is over for the Vietnamese and was over a long time ago. The American involvement will end up being a small footnote in their history books saddled between the French on one side and the Sino-Vietnamese & Cambodian-Vietnamese Wars on the other. The only place it still lives on is in the minds of Americans.
>Vietnams economy is booming and a huge amount of capital is being spent on high tech investments in the country. Many western companies are using it as a base of operations since the government has adopted a very capitalist attitude.
As I said, Vietnam's economy is similar to China's. :-)
>The only place it still lives on is in the minds of Americans.
Does that mean we should turn a blind eye to any human rights abuses if they occur?
It means many things are trumped up to fit an agenda of demonizing Vietnam. If you are really curious if things are as many on this thread say, go on vacation and see for yourself. It is a beautiful country and they welcome American tourists with open arms.

Please see Joe Galloway comment below on SGM Plumley.
May 3, 2012
By VINCE LITTLE
FORT BENNING, Ga. (May 2, 2012) -- A gathering of heroes and legends took place Saturday in Columbus.
The leaders and Soldiers who fought in the Battle of Ia Drang Valley, the U.S. military's first large-scale engagement in the Vietnam War, came together at the downtown Marriott for what could be a final time to share memories and discuss their roles in an event chronicled in the 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young. It also got adapted into the 2002 film, We Were Soldiers, part of which was filmed at Fort Benning.
"Welcome to history," said Roger Messick, who coordinated a three-day reunion of Ranger Classes 4 and 5, which graduated in 1958. "I'm sure it's happened many times in the past. Considering age and health, I'm not sure how many more times it'll happen in the future."
The two-hour Ia Drang Valley program kicked off the reunion's final day. It featured a question-and-answer session with some of the battle's key players, including retired Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and retired Command Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley, who led Fort Benning's 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment.
The four-day fight in November 1965, part of a larger operation known as Silver Bayonet, was costly for the U.S. -- 79 Soldiers were killed at Landing Zone X-Ray, and 155 more from 2nd Battalion after an ambush at LZ Albany. More than 250 troops were wounded at Ia Drang Valley, while 305 Soldiers died in the entire 35-day operation.
"These are figures that today's Army looks at, and they're stunned," said Joe Galloway, a war correspondent and journalist who co-wrote the book with Moore. "But there were more Americans killed in the Ia Drang Valley in November 1965 than in the entire Persian Gulf War. And that's a good thing we can bring the kind of power to bear at times where a whole war goes by with fewer casualties than one battle.
"It changed all our lives, for the better mostly. No man left that field quite the same man he was when he arrived. Too much happened too quick in every direction."
The surprise attack Nov. 17 that overran the marching column of 2-7 Cav. Soldiers near LZ Albany was the deadliest ambush of a U.S. unit during the Vietnam War. Galloway said it took a particularly heavy toll on C Company, which started the day with 110 Soldiers. The following morning, eight were accounted for -- everybody else was dead or wounded.
Retired Col. Tony Nadal, who served as a rifle company commander at the Ia Drang battle, said he took less than 100 Soldiers into X-Ray. Eighteen were killed and 26 wounded, including all three of his platoon leaders.
"There were a lot of tough battles in Vietnam," he said. "I will say it was fierce. One of my sergeants killed a (North Vietnamese soldier) with his bayonet. My machine gunner was killing people with a .45-caliber pistol."
Retired Col. John Herren, another company commander in the battle, talked about the infamous "Lost Platoon" depicted in the book and movie.
"I want to make a point here -- it wasn't lost," he said. "Joe Galloway and General Moore, I don't know how you got that into the book. They were not lost; they were cut off.
"Now, they didn't know exactly where they were," he quipped, drawing laughter from the audience, "but that doesn't mean they were lost."
Now 90 and in failing health, Moore made his way to the reunion from Auburn, Ala. He and most in the group returned to Vietnam in 1993. The general said he met with his battlefield counterpart, Nguyen Huu An, then a lieutenant colonel, who commanded North Vietnamese forces at Ia Drang Valley.
"We were both trying to kill each other back in those days, but I went back to the Ia Drang Valley and made friends with him," he said. "There were so many men killed in action on both sides in those terrible battles at X-Ray and Albany."
Retired Col. Bruce Crandall earned the Medal of Honor for his actions in the battle. He flew 22 missions in an unarmed helicopter into enemy fire to bring ammunition and supplies while evacuating the wounded. By the end of the Vietnam War, he had flown more than 900 combat missions.
"Usually, the question I get when I speak is, 'What the hell happened with the medevac?'" Crandall said. "The medevac was led by a commander who shouldn't have had command. He required a green landing zone for five minutes, and of course, the Infantry doesn't get five minutes."
About 42,000 rounds of artillery and ammunition were fired into LZ X-Ray over two days, said Plumley, who wears a Combat Infantryman Badge with two stars for service in World War II, Korea and Vietnam -- one of only 270 issued by the Army.
"That battalion was the best trained, in good physical shape and most disciplined that I've ever seen," he said. "We did real hard training at Fort Benning before we went into X-Ray. But that battalion was made up of hard, disciplined, well-trained and well-commanded Soldiers who didn't give a damn how rough their training is as long as you're fair about it. I was glad to have been a member of it."
Galloway related an incident from an early reunion many years ago in Columbus that illustrates the respect Plumley commands and fear he still strikes in the unit's veterans.
"It was up in the hospitality room, and everybody's had a few pops. All of a sudden, Sergeant Major Plumley arrives, steps in the door," he said. "And I saw guys who had served a two-year draftee tour in the Army and had been out for 25 or 30 years, turn white, backs against the wall. As the sergeant major made his way into the room, they made their way along the wall and out the door. They were afraid he still had their name and number."
Moore and Galloway collaborated again on We Are Soldiers Still, published in 2008.
"Joe and I made a helluva good team in writing those books," Moore said. "I'm glad to hear they're still popular. I think any captain or lieutenant can read those books, and they'll learn how to do better with their troops and train them better. But no more books."
Crandall said he gave out the 50,000th copy of the first book to U.S. troops in Afghanistan in March.
"They're still not only buying the book, they're using it as their Bible," he said.

Combine a cruise through the Floating Markets with a visit to Bridge on the River Kwai on this full-day guided tour from Bangkok. With the knowledge of your local guide, this is a wonderful way to maximize your time and delve deeper in the Thailand's Kanchanaburi region.
- Instant Confirmation
- Perfect introduction for first-time visitors
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
- Lunch included
- Led by a local guide
- Free hotel pickup and drop-off included
Your journey commences with a leisurely drive from Bangkok, passing through salt fields and rice paddies before embarking aboard your long tail speed-boat on your journey to the Damnern Saduak floating markets. The floating markets are a fascinating experience, a complete contrast to how we shop for food in the west, and are made up of Thai style canoes laden with colorful and succulent fruits, vegetables, sweets and meats - gently plying their way through the canal, selling as they go. It is one of most popular Thai sightseeing experiences and not to be missed. If you want to take a closer look your local Thai guide will help you organize a local boat ride through the markets (optional extra).
You will then board your coach for the journey west to Kanchanaburi, home to the River Kwai and it's infamous bridge. The building of the bridge in 1943 was part of a wartime project to link existing Thai and Burmese railway lines to create a direct route from Bangkok, Thailand to Rangoon, Burma (now Myanmar) in an effort to support the Japanese occupation of Burma. Over 100,000 conscripted laborers and 12,000 prisoners of war died during the whole project.
Lunch will be taken at a local restaurant before visiting the bridge after visiting the JEATH war museum, which houses pictures and paintings from this period. Combining the two attractions unfortunately means there is not enough time to take a train ride, before your journey back to Bangkok and your hotel.

It ended up being a private tour for two, so we customize it just a bit. The guide was responsive to all sorts of questions about Thailand as we drove through the sites and countryside.

I was a little unsure if I wanted to do this trip because of the long drive and things I've heard about this floating market, but we ended up loving it! Our tour guide Cheri was very informative the whole way, describing Thai culture and answering questions for us. The floating market was totally fun! We ended up buying some artwork from a local painter that we'll cherish forever. Yes, some things were more expensive but the difference between 300tb and 400tb is what...3USD so at the end of the day, we came home with memories we'll cherish for a lifetime and hopefully contributed a little extra towards making the locals a little happier. While the Bridge of the River Kwai was a bit of a drive, the scenery and stories we were told made it totally worth it. I'd do it again if we go back.

Leah Snow Wilberg, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister passed away at 1 a.m. on June 10, 2007 of an accidental fall.
Their love was truly a special love, one that two people in love should strive for. After 66 years of marriage, they never spent time apart. When you were around them, you could see how strong their love was.
Dad was self-employed in coal mining, saw mill, readimix concrete, and trucking businesses. Even in their later years, hard work was something they enjoyed. They devoted much of their time serving in the LDS Temple and in the service to others.
Mom was an immaculate homemaker with many talents, which she shared with everyone she knew. Wonderful homemade meals were ever present and there was always room for one more at the table.
Mom and dad's example of unselfish giving leaves us with a model to follow.
They both were preceded in death by their parents, Cyrus and Eliza Wilberg and Grant and Lillie Snow. They are survived by two sons, Reece (Joan) Wilberg and Drew (Dolly) Wilberg.
Dad had three brothers who preceded him in death, Lamar Wilberg, Kenneth Wilberg, and Ted Wilberg. He is survived by two sisters; Cloe Williams and Ruby Daniels. Mom is survived by three sisters, Marjorie Moffitt, Maude Killpack, and Sylvia Scow. They have 10 grand children, 23 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews and numerous friends.
The family extends a special thanks to neighbors, friends, and extended families for the love and friendship that was shown. Also, a special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff of Castleview Hospital who attended so lovingly to the needs of our mom and dad, Lloyd and Leah Wilberg.
Funeral Services will be Thurs., June 14, 2007 at 12:30 p.m. at the Castle Dale Stake Center, 33 East Main. Visitation will be Thurs., June 14, 2007 from 10:30 a.m.-12 noon at the Stake Center before the services. Internment will be in Orangeville City Cemetery under the direction of Fausett Mortuary.

By Sarah Gulbrandsen, special to USTA.com
Jill Setian of the USTA New England women's 3.5 team from Black Rock Country Club in Hingham, Mass., is an inspiring woman. Her courage and tenacity helped her to beat breast cancer, but she'd be the first to admit that she's had help in winning that battle.
Her husband of 24 years, Brian, has been her rock. Her three sons have been by her side all the time, keeping her spirits up.
And because of tennis, Setian's support group is even bigger, as Jody Nash, Setian's doubles partner of 10 years, has been by her side the whole time. Whether it's been providing meals, transportation, a good laugh or a shoulder to cry on, Nash has always been there for her doubles partner and friend.
When the two first met some 17 years ago, neither realized that they both had attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y. That realization helped to bring them closer together and made their bond stronger. So did tennis.
"We bonded away from day-to-day lives to play a sport that we love with people that we love on our team," said Nash.
Setian was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in the fall of 2011. She had a mastectomy, radiation five days a week and chemotherapy once every two weeks. It was a tough road, but in only seven months, she was back on the court with her second family—her team, every member of which constantly encouraged her in her fight.
"I wasn't going to play, but the captain and coach asked me to," Setian said. "I couldn't say no. They brought me out of my shell."
Tennis kept her positive throughout her ordeal. The sport kept her mind going on something other than her treatments. Her teammates helped her, and she, in turn, inspired them.
"She (Setian) has touched so many people just by being her. She is very inspirational," Nash said. "We are lucky to all be here together. We grew up playing tennis in high school and throughout our childhood. Now we are recognizing our dream as a team."
I love this game, and I love these women," Setian said. "We hug each other before every match and say, 'Let's have fun.' If I can beat cancer, I can win a tennis match. Tennis was and is my salvation from the cancer.
"I feel like I can keep cancer at bay—and I have for two years. Being positive and being around great people has definitely helped me to recover."

By MARY ANDERSONSt. Paul, Minn.
I recently researched housing for my parents, both 88 years old, and discovered pesticides are used inside apartment buildings. They spray the halls, and elsewhere, with pesticides. I know pesticides are used inside nursing homes, and other senior citizen facilities, which is why I am trying very hard to avoid my parents living in these types of places. I am aghast that these poisons are used around anyone, especially the elderly.
Our family discovered the hard way that pesticides are poisonous to people�we used them, and were poisoned by them. We then discovered being poisoned by pesticides made us sensitive or allergic to cleaning compounds, disinfectants, and other everyday products; the Environmental Protection Agency classifies disinfectants and sanitizers as pesticides, which make them extra toxic to people.
Using these poisons around the elderly is a total travesty. The elderly need extra care, and exposing them to poisons is unconscionable. Pesticides hurt people, and they should absolutely not be allowed around our most vulnerable--the elderly, children, and people with health problems. Actually, healthy people should not be exposed to them either. I was healthy once until we used pesticides.
I pray you will understand, and take action in whatever way you can to stop this practice.

Skip to comments.Officials: 4 Dead After Metro-North Train Derails In The Bronx
Posted on 12/01/2013 7:32:44 AM PST by Perdogg
Four people were killed and 63 injured when a Metro-North commuter train derailed Sunday morning in the Bronx, officials said.
All of the trains seven cars came off the curved track about 100 feet north of the Spuyten Duyvil station around 7:20 a.m., MTA officials said. One car came to rest feet from the water.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyork.cbslocal.com ...
dang ....
Damn AR trains. Anybody do a universal background check on the engineer? How many more must die due to the misuse of these weapons of war? Oh, dang. We're talking about choo-choos.
isn't it time we get past our close minded attitudes and just ban these military style... uh oh shoot... trains.
Jim gave Willie a one-way train ticket out of town.
Whenever I see pictures of derailments, I'm always amazed that there are not more fatalities. Nobody wears seat belts on trains.
I saw a cargo train derail in Rochester NY in the early '70s. Only moving 30 mph or so in city limits and cars were leaping straight up and coming down every which way. Having seen one in process, I'm even more amazed at the low number of deaths.
Bet a million dollars the union engineer was texting on his iPhone. Steve Jobs's fault.
NTSB: Speed, texting factors in derailment
Inattention to signals, ineffective communication, distraction from text messaging and speeding were all cited as factors in the Jan. 12, 2012, crash that involved three trains and injured two people, according to a federal agency.
Spain Train Crash Conductor Was Using Phone
Investigators Say Train Was Traveling at Nearly Twice Speed Limit
MADRIDA Spanish train driver was talking on his work cellphone and traveling at nearly twice the recommended speed when the train derailed on a tight curve last week, in Spain's worst rail accident since the 1940s.
FWIW, employees were supposedly prohibited from carrying cellphones while on the clock. They do have their radios for emergencies and work related business.
Engineer in Deadly LA Train Crash Was Texting
Less than a week after one of the worst train accidents in recent U.S. history, California officials today issued a temporary order banning train operators from using cell phones on duty.
Federal transportation authorities say the engineer of a Southern California commuter train who ran a red light and slammed into a freight train last Friday — killing 25 people and injuring more than 130 others — was text-messaging on his cell phone. The engineer, Robert Sanchez, who died in the crash, never hit his brakes.
He couldn't remember what type of engine it was, and I think he said there weren't any serious injuries.
I knew a guy that was on a commuter train that was rammed from behind in a tunnel going into Boston. His injuries amounted to a dry cleaning bill for his suit from smoke grime and smell.
Aiden Quinn caused $10 million in damage and sent 12 people to the hospital, but s/he only got six months probation. Changing sex was a great career move.
Not so funny. We think a friend of ours might have been on that train.
I'm very sorry. I really hope and pray that's not the case.
As an aside, I would very much like to see calculations regarding what the forces are at different speeds for the old and new Metro North cars at all these types of locations where there are curves. Maybe they need to rethink their rules of operation for these trains.
A woman on the ground outside the station was killed by falling masonry. Two passengers were injured. The conductor was given a 25-franc fine and the engine driver a 50-franc fine.
You are correct. The situation is not funny. If you did have a friend on the train, our prayers for their safety.
The Illinois Central Officially said
He's a good engineer to be lying there dead.
(Actually, the ICRR investigation of the wreck a Vaughn, MS in 1900 scapegoated Casey Jones and whitewashed other actors. Many historians believe that Jones may have been the least culpable of those involved.)
Metro North is a disaster as is New Jersey transit. They simply don't care about their customers. This morning a Metro North official bristled nastily to a reporter when he suggested that there may be more fatalities than 4. Now, of course, it looks like the reporter was right.
I guess I just remembered the initial report, not the followups.
This is a very beautiful part of New York state. Full of Dutch history!
Praying that your friend is alright, and for all involved.
Oh, thank you! He may not be on the train. My husband is trying to get through to his family.
Well, this is an instance in which I hope they have every ambulance chaser in the tri-state area ramping up to sue them. Arrogance is not acceptable.
We narrowly missed having a daughter on the train but they decided to go back to Manhattan yesterday instead, and we were literally in the shower getting ready to take our other college aged daughter to Poughkeepsie to go back to Manhattan late this morning when we heard about it this morning - (I said this in the other thread - sorry to repeat.
So I hope your friend is accounted for and prayers for his safety your way from us.
Thank God your daughter wasn't on the train. God does work in mysterious ways. I haven't heard anything about our friend - I'm pretty sure he's ok. Just an instinct.
I'm a little concerned though that there are divers in the river. I first heard that no one had gone into the water. Then why are there divers out there?
We just found our friend Bill. Wasn't on the train. Was taking a later one - and now he can't get back into Manhattan since the trains are all out. Pretty small problem, don't you think?
Thank you all for your concern and prayers. Freepers are the best.
Sister said they suspended service up to Albany from NY. What a mess for all the kids going back to school upstate after Turkey.
Looks like train was going too fast for that part of the tracks.
Notice how far it flew off the tracks before resting on it's side.
I'm glad there's a black box. I'd like to be reassured its not an age or maintenance issue.
"...why divers?..."
I heard that since people were thrown from the train the rescuers need to operate on the assumption that it would have been possible for someone to have been thrown into the water since the first car was so close to the river. The odds are probably not extremely high that this happened, however since there is even a chance of it, they have to take the precaution of looking and operating as if it happened since it could have.
Thank you - God does work in mysterious ways - Guardian angels as well! (working as God's agents, of course)
"...Pretty small problem?..."
Yes - we are very grateful that this is the small problem for our daughter who still does have to get back to Manhattan for class at noon tomorrow.
It is interesting how relative things are, really. She will take the Megabus tomorrow morning, she got her ticket the minute we realized she would need one since I would imagine the Megabus is sold out now - for today almost certainly, although they may have added some buses.
Freepers are the best!
My husband is putting together a theatrical reading tomorrow and his lead actor was to come in on Metro North. Oh, well. These things happen.
It's sad that I immediately mistrusted the press, government, Metro North (well, that's a given!) the minute I saw those divers. Thanks for the update.
News break mentioned an engine was "pushing" the cars...
It's called "push-pull mode". The locomotive always stays at one end and a cab car at the other. This way reversing the train at the end of the line doesn't mean using a wye. The operator merely goes from the cab car to the locomotive or vice versa. On this part of Metro-North, the locomotive always runs at the north end of the train and the cab car at the south end.
Metro North lately has maintenance issues too.
Old infrastructure falling apart, patched together.
Heard that earlier. seems that pulling would be the normal way or so conventional thinking would have one believe?
Grew up about a mile from there. Use to jump off the RR tressle into the headwaters of eastchester bay. That was over 50 years ago. Use to flaten out coins there too.
See Post #39.
Sounds like Metro North uses their maintenance money the same way LIRR does. Paying fake disability claims.
There are some significant curves around the Spuyten Duyvil station. Heading northbound from the station the line curves to the right while following the Harlem river, and then marks a sharp (by railroad terms) turn to the right where the line follows the Hudson River up to Albany. Speed through that set of curves would not vary dependent on what passenger equipment, unless it is bilevel (due to center of gravity), which I really doubt can get through the Park Avenue tunnels to Grand Central Terminal.
My guess is that the train went into the curve too fast.
I know that there is a certain practice of having a loco at either end....I do have a large post war lionel collection. that makes me an expert in......nothing.
I can imagine what I-95 will look like tomorrow.....as it takes up the 'slack' (I assume they wont have the RR ready for traffic by tomorrow...I could be wrong.)
glad I live on LI.
The affected line goes along the Hudson, so it's not I-95 that will be affected most, but I-87.
What I want to know is, how did it derail. I've been on the Metro North plenty of times, and their conductors are far better than those on the NYC public transit system, because they provide a smoother ride.
As of now, it would appear that the operator entered the curve before the Spuyten Duyvil station at an excessive rate of speed.
ok never mind....I grew up by the one that goes up into CT near the coast.
