- Long-range analysis of risks can lead to a re-examination of assumptions underpinning policies, and help in thinking ahead. We want our analysis to inform government budget cycles, which requires anticipating future requirements. Our analysis can identify opportunities for assistance and US action can help mitigate risk.
- Prediction of where and when violent conflict will erupt is among the toughest analytic challenges that governments, analysts, and researchers face. The National Intelligence Estimate is part of a broader effort and process aimed at early identification of risk factors that have the potential to lead to mass atrocities. We work continuously at trying to refine and improve our efforts to identify risks, including those triggering events cascading into crises, violence, and mass atrocities.
- Other factors include the recent outbreak or high risk of violent or regime-threatening stability, a history of ethnic conflict, prior loss of territory or authority, and persistent, intractable conflict between groups.
- As the Secretary noted, these technologies can be used for early identification and warning, shaping global opinion, and mobilizing local, regional, and global responses. And of course, these technologies also help us gather useful intelligence.
- We also see that technological capacities are not the sole province of governments. Many innovative uses are coming from multilateral organizations, NGOs, and individuals who want to make a difference. These are important efforts and these capabilities increasingly will add to the picture. Imagery analysis, more broadly geospatial intelligence, is a sophisticated art of interpretation and it is by complementing it with other sources of information that we can reach informed judgments.
- For example, if people use social media platforms to share videos and observations of violence on the ground, they will have an increasingly hard time assuring their anonymity, and their video may provide openings for perpetrators to identify, detain, and torture them.
- We will face challenges in authenticating videos and with analytic questions on the size, severity, and scope of the threat that cannot be instantly gleaned from YouTube video postings.

Tester's Top Choice
From the evolutive range by Starboard, this Kode 86 is a freewave model. The smaller sizes are pure waveboards. The largest sizes are freemove. In this model, we still have lots of strap position choices: centred one for waves and freestyle, outboard ones for flat water. The equipment is excellent, including the pads and fins (even though a G10 fin would have been more durable).
On the Water
This is without doubt one of the highest-riding boards in the group. The Starboard Kode is quick to plane and probably even the best here. It is very fast and gives a sharp and tracking feel for your back leg, on the tail and into the fin. We have lots of power to go upwind even in low winds, and to accelerate between waves for example. The speed is lightning quick in a straight line with acceleration that is on par with the best. Only the control in choppy conditions is a little bit less natural, since the board rides so high and lively. In the surf on the other hand, it is the most natural and probably the best one at turning. The rails penetrate the water well and allow excellent control a high speeds on long bottom turns, just like the way it jibes. There is enough volume in the tail to turn in a pivot, even at high speeds. This is the versatile and accessibility side of the board. In rollers, it is not as cutting-edge as pure waveboards, especially multi-fins, but it is close and gets you turning well.
Starboard offers here a Kode 86 that is among the very best freewaves on the market. At ease in flat water or choppy water, it offers a fun and fast ride, then also fun for surfing and jumping while being versatile and accessible all at the same time. Our Tester's Top Choice.
+ Early planing, speed, maneuverability and carving, user range, equipment level
- Nothing
Tester's Top Choice
This Starboard Kode 103 has an outline that is quite round, rails that are fine and the only board in the group with a US box. The Kode is also available in Wood and Technora.
On the water
Offering an early planing performance that is very competitive, the Starboard Kode 103 riders with more wetted surface than the average but it is not the most extreme. This is reassuring, which gives the board some smoothness in riding over chop. The outboard strap positions are very comfortable. With a good tracking feel on the fin, you can push and accelerate well. Compared to the group, it is on par. The advantage however, is that you keep the reactivity when carving and changing directions. This means that you have a board whose direction can change and respond quickly, unlike the feeling of being stuck in ice, yet with an impeccable tracking feel from the fin. You go where you want, when you want, and the moment you decide to do so -- because it's an easy board to control. This gives you the desire to play, you find yourself jumping and turning in chop when you wouldn't have imagined yourself doing so with any other board in this group. Jibing: the Kode allows you to carve hard to turn nicely on the rail and draw a nice turn, with a great sensation and control. Its smoothness and reactivity reminds you of wave boards, with versatility on top. It was actually a revelation to see it surf, in small waves or light winds.

Shattered Mirror (episode)
this wiki
(written from a Production point of view)
Professor Jennifer Sisko uses Jake to lure Sisko to the "mirror universe" to help the rebels build another starship Defiant.
Jennifer Sisko from the mirror universe visits Captain Sisko's quarters. Jake Sisko, although he knows Jennifer is not his mother, becomes very affectionate to her. Benjamin is then called to duty, and he is forced to leave the two alone.
When he returns, he discovers they have left the station, leaving behind a multidimensional transporter device. Sisko tries to follow this trail, accompanied by Major Kira and Chief O'Brien, only to discover the device was programmed to transport him to the mirror universe alone.
On Terok Nor (which the Terran Rebellion had captured from the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance), Smiley explains they have built a copy of the USS Defiant based on the data and schematics that Smiley downloaded from Deep Space 9's computers. Like the original, this copy has structural problems, and the rebels need Sisko's help to prepare it for an upcoming battle with the Alliance. Smiley is willing to transport the Siskos back to their universe before the battle begins, but only after the modifications are complete. Benjamin agrees to help them and starts working hard. Meanwhile, Jake spends most of his time with the counterpart of his mother.
The Alliance attack, commanded by Regent Worf, is expected in four days – likely not enough time to finish the modifications to the Defiant. To stall for time for the much needed repairs, Bashir and Jadzia Dax pilot a smaller ship to intercept the Klingon ships. Jennifer approaches Sisko and offers to send Jake back home immediately, even though Sisko has not yet finished the repairs he promised. Sisko agrees that Jake should get home to his universe as quickly as possible. As Jennifer and Jake make their way through the airlock, they are trapped by Intendant Kira. Kira had been captured by the rebels when they took control of the station but was freed by Nog as a thank you for Kira earlier killing Quark and Rom, allowing Nog to inherit the bar. Kira shot Nog to ensure he wouldn't tell anyone that she was heading for Bajor; taking advantage of the rebels' being distracted by the battle against the Alliance, Kira was heading to her ship when she captured Jake and Jennifer. Jennifer agrees to go with Kira to Bajor as long as Jake isn't forced to go; planning to eliminate Jake as she did with Nog, Kira shoots at him, only for Jennifer to jump in front of the blast. Kira spares Jake's life once she realizes that he is Sisko's son. She tells Jake to give his father a message – that Sisko is now in her debt for sparing his son's life, and it is a debt on which she intends to collect.
At the suggestion of Garak (who fled Terok Nor and is now kept in chains by the Regent), Worf opts for a faster transfer and arrives on the second day of repairs, while the Defiant's modifications are barely installed. Sisko then resolves to command the Defiant himself, which Smiley gladly accepts. In battle, the Defiant makes quick work of the smaller Klingon Birds-of-Prey and inflicts heavy damage on the larger Galor-class cruisers. Although the small Defiant is heavily outgunned by the Regent's flagship, under the piloting of Captain Sisko the Rebel ship inflicts major damage on the massive warship while avoiding most return fire. The small ship commanded by Bashir and Dax arrives just in time to assist the Defiant in the skirmish, and together the two ships force the Regent's fleet to abandon his goal of taking Terok Nor and retreat from the battlefield.
Sisko returns from the battle to find Jake in the infirmary with Jennifer, who is clinging to life. With her last words, Jennifer tells Sisko that she knew they were still connected, to which he responds, "always." Sisko and Jake share an emotional hug, and Sisko suggests that they return home to Deep Space 9.

Background informationEdit
- Director James L. Conway says of the mirror universe, "It's dark and sexy, and there's no subtlety over there." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Each of the actors who portray their mirror universe counterparts in this episode had their own distinct interpretations of the differences between the usual character and the mirror character. The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion lists some of them:
- Nana Visitor says of The Intendant, "she and Kira are exactly the same person. But the Intendant's ego has been warped, so that everything that Kira would do for her people, The Intendant does for herself. She's self-serving with a capital S!"
- Alexander Siddig says of his mirror universe counterpart, "I want him to be the inverse of Dr. Bashir, like a doppelgänger, the animus to his anima. Bashir wouldn't hurt a fly, but this guy is unstable, difficult, and stupid."
- Colm Meaney says of Smiley, "I picture him as being a bit dirty and scuzzier than the regular O'Brien, just because of what he's had to go through. He's a trickster, and there's something sort of seedy about him. Miles, on the other hand, is straight as an arrow."
- Aron Eisenberg says of Nog, "He was obnoxious and rude, so I played him like an edgy Quark."
- Aron Eisenberg, a trained martial artist, did all of his own stunts for this episode.
- Rene Echevarria commented "We got great reaction to Worf's character, so he might be the focus of the next "crossover" episode. Just a show filled references. The Jake angle was a great one, realizing that there would be a mirror Jennifer and that he would be drawn there". (Captains' Logs Supplemental - The Unauthorized Guide to the New Trek Voyages p 118)
- Of the first three mirror universe episodes, Nana Visitor favored "Shattered Mirror". Visitor commented "It was the darkest. I think I found a darker place for her, because of the way they wrote it, and I liked it". ("Introducing the Intendant", Star Trek Monthly, issue 28)
- The mirror universe version of Worf makes his first appearance in this episode. Michael Dorn was originally to appear as Worf in "Crossover", but he was unable to do so because he was shooting the the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation at the time. All of his dialogue was given to Garak, and the dialogue that had been intended for Garak was used to create the character of Telok.
- Nog is the third Ferengi to die in the mirror universe. Quark was killed by Garak in "Crossover" and Rom was killed by The Intendant in "Through the Looking Glass".
- This is the only episode in DS9's mirror universe arc where Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko) appears. This episode establishes that Jake was never born in the mirror universe.
- Dennis Madalone makes his third appearance as the Terran marauder. We learn he is a widower.
- The weapons locker from which Kira gets the phasers in the teaser is a reuse of the prop from "Hard Time" which was shot directly before this episode. You can recognize the number 47 on its label.
- For this episode's first terrestrial release in the UK, the scene in which Garak is stabbed by Worf was slightly edited.
- This episode marks the last on-screen appearance of any incarnation of Jennifer Sisko, and thereby actress Felecia M. Bell.
- Prior to the establishment of the history of the televised mirror universe, a mirror version of Worf appeared in the novel Dark Mirror, depicting a mirror universe in which the Terran Empire had survived well into the 24th century with Klingons being one of their many slave races. That version of Worf was a slave aboard the ISS Enterprise (ICC-1701-D) in 2367.
Video and DVD releasesEdit
- This was one of only two volumes of DS9 (the other being 4.12) to receive a 15 certificate, due to the violent scenes in this episode and the preceding one, "Hard Time".
- As part of the DS9 Season 4 DVD collection
- As part of the Star Trek: Fan Collective - Alternate Realities collection

text: I was extremely dissapointed by the organization and presentation of Celebration 2 in Indianapolis. I traveled a long way from New York to be treated to a mediocre convention that I could have experienced anywhere in my local area. There was no atmosphere to the event and the fan club gave nothing for any fan to take away with them. Even the orchestra concert, that everyone clammered over getting tickets for, was less than enterntaining. Not to fault the musicians but the lack of interactive visuals to accompany the music left me snoozing in the aisles. The final insult came at the so-called, "Stunt Spectacular" when Nick Gillard and Nash Edgerton refused and had not pre-planned any stunt similations or mock lightsaber duels, dispite the requests of fans. This is their job and they flat out told us that it would'nt be worth doing in this venue. An outright dissapointment. I'd like to know others opinions, do you feel taken advantage of? I certainly do!

Recycling… vs. Embodied Energy
By Jim Glessner, CEO, Clean Concrete Technologies
For many years people with an environmental conscience have lived and breathed and pushed for the necessity of recycling, and with good measure. However, as we progress down this road of reusing our current products, whether it be an aluminum can or a quart of motor oil or a slab of concrete, we have learned that it is more important to think about the energy it takes to make these recycled products, than the recycling of them itself.
While recycling is still a keyword when discussing environmental issues, more often than not we will move on to the topic of Carbon Footprint or the aforementioned Embodied Energy.
As Wikipedia so eloquently puts it; "Embodied energy is defined as the available energy that was used in the work of making a product. Embodied energy is an accounting methodology which aims to find the sum total of the energy necessary for an entire product life cycle. This life cycle includes raw material extraction, transport, manufacture, assembly, installation, disassembly, deconstruction and/or decomposition."
Carbon footprint is simply the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, organization or product. The carbon footprint, which directly relates to the amount of embodied energy we use, allows us a starting point that we can place employable strategies to reduce that set number.
While recycling is and will remain a key to improving our environment and reducing the immense amount of waste material sent to landfill, the more important and pressing need is to reduce our energy consumption. If we had the ability to process used materials into new products, as is what defines recycling, all the while limiting our energy consumption, the world would be a much better and more sustainable place to live. It is extremely important not to look just at recycled content, but to have a good idea if the production of the recycled product or material actually uses less energy to manufacture or use.
In some cases within the building industry, certain products manufactured using recycled content actually use MORE energy to produce than with all new raw materials. Why, you might ask, would they do this? Money! I will save my sermon on greenwashing for a follow-up article, but please be advised that all things recycled are not completely good for our environment. In some cases, as much as three times (!) the energy is used to manufacture these supposedly Green products. Buyer beware!
If you are curious about a product that makes claims about its super-high recycled content, call up the manufacturer and ask them for their energy numbers. In most cases they simply won't know – or claim not to know – since those standards have yet to be established. Even the USGBC's LEED program, which is at the forefront on green building standards, is just now putting CO2 and embodied energy into their assessment system. It's a start, but it seems the industry needs a few years to catch up to where it should and (hopefully) will be in the future.
Ultimately, it is our government that will be responsible for stimulating the most dramatic and positive changes. As it stands now, the building sector has federal rules that limit the amount of good we can do with the technology we currently have. Those limitations need to be looked at, refined and amended to meet the current innovations today's technology offers.
As long as a product reaches its strength, durability and longevity numbers – factoring in the energy required to make it – why limit the content of recycled materials it contains? I scratch my head and wonder.
As a side note… Clean Concrete Technologies, Inc., formerly operating as EkoCrete, Inc, offers products and formulations that utilize up to 92% recycled content. But the important number is the energy used to make it versus standard concrete mix designs. Are you curious? How about a 57% reduction in energy!
Now that is what it's all about.
If you are curious about what we are trying to achieve in the building industry, how our products fall in with the LEED and other energy efficiency programs, please contact us at any time. We are here to make a change… one bag, or yard… at a time!
Now CEO of Clean Concrete Technologies, Jim Glessner has nearly 30 years experience on the sustainable side of the concrete construction industry.

Denmark provides excellent opportunities for researchers such as the national biobank that stores blood samples of Danish children born after 1982
Singapore: Denmark has been accelerating its efforts towards promoting life science research in the country in a substantial way. One of the initiatives taken by the country is the establishment of the Medicon Valley, Europe's second largest life sciences cluster spread across Denmark and its neighboring country Sweden. There are 439 companies in Medicon Valley, of which 160 are located in Denmark.
On his recent visit to India, the Danish High Commissioner Mr Freddy Svane revealed to BioSpectrum that, "The Medicon Valley offers a good plug-and-play facility. Additionally, we have a very flexible labor market, which is easy to hire and fire, allowing companies to scale up or scale down according to market conditions. We have some of the lowest corporate taxes in Europe at 25 percent and plans in the works for lowering that as well."
Denmark is not a part of the Eurozone, which is currently in the midst of a severe financial crunch. About the Eurozone debt crisis affecting them, he says, "In the European context, with the Eurozone debt and other issues, we still have a competitive economy. It does affect us, as we depend on trade with these countries. We only have a few big companies that are global in nature, but we have thousands of smaller companies that are very skilled in technology, clean tech and life sciences. We have an open economy, and since we are a very small country we are dependent on global trade and in that context we have been open minded."
Another unique feature that is being promoted is the National Biobank in Denmark. According to a report put out by the Danish government, more than 15 million blood and tissue samples have been collected to be stored at the national biobank at Copenhagen, making it one of the largest in the world. The Danish National Biobank hopes to attract biomedical researchers by allowing access to this plethora of samples that can aid in research.
The biobank contains blood samples taken from all Danish children born after 1982. Blood samples collected from expectant mothers, has allowed for research on the transmission of disease carrying genes to off springs to be studied as well. Since the samples can be traced to a particular individual, the genetic changes resulting in diseases in later parts of the person's life can be studied on a more detailed basis. In addition to the biological material stored here, a number of hospitals have their own biobanks as well.

Sullivan to speak on religion and politics
Posted October 12, 2008; 11:44 p.m.
"The Party Faithful? Why Obama Started Hanging Out With Rick Warren and Republicans Stopped Going to Church" is the title of a lecture to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 13, in 10 Guyot Hall.
Amy Sullivan, nation editor at Time magazine, will deliver the address, which is sponsored by the University's Center for the Study of Religion. She is the author of "The Party Faithful: How and Why Democrats Are Closing the God Gap," published earlier this year.
Sullivan's work has appeared in publications including the Los Angeles Times, The New Republic, The New York Times and The Washington Post, and was included in "The Best Political Writing 2006." She is a frequent guest on radio and television talk shows. Previously, Sullivan served as editor of The Washington Monthly.
Before embarking on her journalism career, Sullivan served as an aide to U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle and helped found -- and served as editorial director of -- the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Church house groups started again this week, with a social evening last night.

Church house groups started again this week, with a social evening last night.
Circuit training
Matt and I went to circuit training at the Sports Centre again yesterday. Matt had a particularly enjoyable time: lots of football skills, and the instructor misheard his name and spent the whole evening calling him "Emmet".
Skippy Music goes live
Went round to Dave's for dinner last night, and had a look at the website for his record label, Skippy Music. All looking very nice, and I'm hopefully going to be able to listen to some clips from the album soon, once he's got his monitors hooked up again. After dinner we ended up having an extended discussion with Claire about capital punishment (Dave and I pro, Claire anti).
I was intending to play football with the St Mike's team beforehand, but my lift didn't turn up.
Went back into work later, and had quite a long chat to Steve. Apparently we've got a £50 gas bill, which seems a little excessive given that the heating's not on at the moment.
This morning my phone (an Ericsson T610) decided it wasn't going to turn on, so now I've got to take it back to the shop to see if they can fix it up.
Phone trouble
This morning I went to Vodafone to get my phone fixed. As I expected, they are going to have to send it away, so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I get it back (probably minus the phone book). Annoyingly, the first phone they gave me (a very beaten-up Nokia 8210) had a broken microphone so I'm now stuck with a horrible Siemens handset.
NR experiments
Kicked off experiments for the final variant of NR during search.
Optimal Golomb Rulers
bram: you might be interested in this paper and those referenced by it on using CSP models and search algorithms to solve OGR problems.
Model Checking
raph: I was interested in your reference to model checking. I work on SAT algorithms, and at least for some hardware model checking the state of the art is to encode the BMC problem as a SAT problem and solve that. Have a look at NuSMV for a free model checker that does all sorts of clever stuff.
pcburns: Despite God being able, if he wished, to do anything we can do (and do it better), he chose to first create us and then send his Son to redeem us.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. - 1 John 4:9
It is his love for me that motivates me to act in service to him. God chose to give me a purpose in life, even though he was under no obligation to (and from a human perspective, he has no reason to).

I know, I know; the last Harry Potter movie just came out, and now NOTHING MAGICAL WILL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN. EVER. But don't worry! That's not actually true! Look, here are 14 more fictional witches and wizards that already exist, just waiting for you to discover them and enjoy their adventures! They may not have Chocolate Frogs or Firebolts, but they're just as fun. Really. Why not give these magical guys (and gals) a chance? More

One of the best things about print-on-demand books is that you can create a family history book that doesn't have to be all things to all people. You can tailor a book to a specific audience, and later make a different book for a different audience. Marilyn Ramer Burroughs and Kathleen Ramer Harden created Cousins Remembering with the younger reader in mind. Marilyn brought her skill as an artist to the project, and the result is a great example of how art can replace photographs as a way of illustrating family history. A book like this one would be visually appealing to family members of all ages, and particularly to younger readers who might be less attracted to a book illustrated by old photographs. I enjoyed the text as well. This book will be a Ramer family treasure for generations to come.
To view the book full-screen, click on the little square next to the Blurb logo.
- Before even beginning to make a book, think about its potential readers and how best to engage their interest. For whom do you want to make a book? What material do you have, and who might be interested in it?
- Consider whether co-authoring with another family member would result in a richer book.
- Consider whether your own art skills or those of another (willing!) family member could be used to enhance the book you're thinking of making.

So I headed in for new books this week, and was disturbed to see the "No new books, Check back tomorrow" sign up again this week. That's 2 weeks in a row, for those keeping score. I didn't buy comics last week, so today wound up being a little tidy-up trip. Here's what I came home with:
Emma Frost - issues 3 and 4 (still missing a #2)
Powers 35
Supreme Power 4
Wolverine 7
Wolverine: The End 1
And that's it. Can't wait to read Supreme Power, it rocks. Stupid me forgot to get the 2nd issue of Thanos, so that will have to wait. Better not sell out.
Does anyone know when issue 3 of the Spideman/Black Cat mini-series is due out? Seems like I've been waiting months for it. Much like what happened to Planetary...

I don't, except for rare occasions (like the Draco story line). I got fed up with Marvel after the Onslaught fiasco. They kept dragging plots on way too long -- like why did it take the X-Men two years before searching for Charles after he disappeared? Continuity was non-existent and one of my favorite comics -- Gen X -- kept having mistakes in it as well as artwork so poor I couldn't follow the story. So I pretty much dumped all things Marvel and took up DC and some Image titles.Originally Posted by billfremore

GIJoe Frontline #16: Despite a wicked cover of Night Creepers holding Destro's mask, a disappointment. Hard to follow, and read like one of the worse issues of the old Special Missions title.
Transformers: War Within 2 #2: Urrr. Simon Furman. Andrew Wildman. Must continue buying, no matter how little sense it makes!!
Transformers: Armada #18: Didn't resolve the storyling as neatly as I'd like. And I'm sorry: no Armada character (or army thereof) could ever kill the true Galvatron and Bludgeon. They must've been otters, disguised as those uber-baddies to cash in on their reps, kinda like Jodo Kast.
GIJoe #23: Oh. My. God. I forgive all the bad things I said about Josh Blaylock when I found he was reviving Serpentor. This isn't a bad marketing ploy. This is how a homicidal killing machine cloned from dead conquerers and a not-quite-dead Arishikaje ninja should act. Building up for one hell of an explosive climax in #25.
He-Man: uh, something about fear #1: Scare-Glow!! 'Nuff said.
Transformers: More than Meets the Eye #8: Does Dreamwave plan on actually using all these characters in their screwed up little continuity?
Wolverine: The End #1: Awesome. Awesome. AWESOME!! The twist with Sabertooth was nice, and hopefully we'll finally learn that old Graydon Creed's real name was "Dog" Logan. I'm hoping for some reminiscing about old flames, former comrades in arms, spunky mutants who dress like Batman sidekicks. . . .

Houston Texans
#26 Overall -- Whitney Mercilus / DE / Illinois
#9 defensive end on my board and had a 2nd round grade on Mercilus. Questionable pick considering who they passed up, but Texans obviously feel good about his 1 year of production. Relentless motor and gets a lot of his sacks due to second and third effort as opposed to flat out winning at the snap. Not the worst pick here, but not the best either in my opinion. Grade: C+
#68 Overall -- DeVier Posey / WR / Ohio St.
Posey wasn't on my draft board. Not a fan of him off the field or on it. I don't like this pick at all. Grade: F-
#76 Overall -- Brandon Brooks / OG / Miami (Ohio)
#3 guard on my board and had a 3rd round grade on Brooks. Should fit in well with the Texans zone blocking scheme. This kid can flat out play and should've been invited to the combine. Grade: A-
#99 Overall -- Ben Jones / C / Georgia
I had a 6th round grade on Jones and was rated my #6 center. One of the more overhyped offensive line prospects in the draft, and I just never saw it. Looked clueless at times. This is a reach. Grade: D+
#121 Overall -- Keshawn Martin / WR / Michigan St.
I didn't have Martin on my draft board. Slot receiver who could make the roster for Texans, but probably could've had him later. Grade: C-
#126 Overall -- Jared Crick / DE-DT / Nebraska
#14 defensive tackle on my board and #5 3-4 defensive end should he get looks from teams employing a 30 front and gave him a 4th round grade. Struggled with injuries as a Senior but can flat out play. One of the better picks of the entire 4th round. Grade: B
#161 Overall -- Randy Bullock / K / Texas A&M
I don't scout kickers unless they're in high school and in our division.
#195 Overall -- Nick Mondek / OT / Purdue
I didn't scout Mondek and will defer to the Texans on this pick.

From Fox News:
Wonder what they will consider weapons? Golf clubs, all kitchen knives, scissors, an axe used for chopping wood, gardening tools, baseball bats?A bill that passed the Vermont House without controversy is now in doubt after gun-rights advocates exposed provisions allowing police to take guns during domestic disputes.
"It's a highly illegal confiscation bill," Gun Owners of Vermont president Ed Cutler told Vermont Watchdog.
"H.735 is a forfeiture bill that tells police if a person gets a temporary restraining order, they have to come into the house and take all weapons -- not just firearms, but all weapons."
At first glance H.735 appears to propose fee updates on mundane items -- from lottery ticket sales to license renewals. Yet tucked away in the bill are provisions for the storage of firearms confiscated during domestic disputes. Gov. Peter Shumlin requested the gun-related provisions in October.

What is now an idyllic country park was once the scene of a bustling military hospital. As the British Army's first purpose-built hospital, Royal Victoria was a unique and ambitious project which would help change the face of the medical world.
1854 – 1856
Crimean War
In the midst of a devastating conflict, with no transport, poor shelter, and insufficient clothing and food, the fate of the wounded soldier was hopeless. Indeed a soldier may well have had a higher chance of survival outside the appalling fort hospitals.
Into this horror stepped a young Florence Nightingale, and she swiftly set to work improving cleanliness and restoring hygiene.
19 May 1856
Queen Victoria lays foundation stone at Netley.
Queen Victoria was inspired by the efforts of the nurses and when visiting Fort Pitt – the primary hospital for wounded military - she was shocked by the foul overcrowded conditions being suffered by patients. She quickly set to work rallying support for a new hospital.
On 19 May 1856 – the queen laid the foundation stone before a crowd of 11,000 people who turned up to witness the event. The build for Royal Victoria Hospital began.
Did you know? 30 million bricks were used to make the hospital which made it the longest building in the world.
Hospital Opens
The hospital began functioning in March 1863. With its 138 wards and 1000 Beds steadily filled with British troops from across the globe, it truly was a hospital to serve an Empire.
1899 – 1902
Second Boer War
This was a lengthy war—involving large numbers of troops from many British possessions, which ended with the conversion of the Boer republics into British colonies.
British losses were high due to both disease and combat and once again Royal Victoria Hospital was put to good use.
New railway built
The new railway line enabled wounded troops to be brought on ambulance trains, straight from Southampton Docks and into the back of the hospital. You can still see the railway lines in the car park at Netley.
1914 – 1918
First World War – hutted hospital built
Many young men were sent to fight in the trenches in Europe, just across The English Channel. In that awful war, millions of people were killed, injured, or died of disease or hunger. Now Miss Nightingale's reservations about Netley Hospital were more correct than ever, and many new rows of wooden hospital huts were built behind the main hospital to facilitate for this dreadful War.
1918 – 1939
Hospital used for tuberculosis patients
With the end of the First World War, Netley's hospital once again fell silent. You could hear the birds again, rather than railway engines. Most of the soldiers had gone, and the wards were empty. Peace had returned, but one part of the hospital was used to treat patients with tuberculosis.
Start of the Second World War
In 1939, the Second World War began, and Netley once again was used to treat wounded soldiers brought back from Europe. The hospital was busy again, its corridors and wards echoing to the noise of trucks, jeeps and ambulances. Soldiers sent back from the evacuation of Dunkirk came here.
Main hospital used by US Army and Navy
In 1944, the American army and navy took over the hospital, ready for the invasion of France, known as D-day. The American soldiers had no patience with those quarter-mile-long corridors. They drove their jeeps down them. Some even drove up the stairs!
Fire destroyed a large part of the hospital
After the Second World War, Netley was not used much as a hospital.
In 1963 there was a bad fire. It gave the Army the excuse to have the building condemned.
Hospital demolished
The diggers and trucks came to the front of the hospital's chapel, and everything stopped. At the last moment, it was decided to save this holy place, as a monument to Netley Hospital. In front of the chapel was a big foundation stone, which had been tapped into place by Queen Victoria herself, more than a century before.
Royal Victoria Country Park opens
In 1980, the site of the hospital was cleared up and turned into a country park. A peaceful setting for recreation and leisure, the park today belies a fascinating story of war, suffering and devoted care.

Alerts | Central African Republic
Central African Republic editor charged with incitement
New York, June 7, 2011--Central African Republic authorities have charged the director of the independent weekly The Hills of Bangui, Faustin Bambou, with inciting hatred and disorder among the military forces and insulting the government, Bambou told CPJ. The director was sent directly to Ngaragba Prison in the capital, Bangui. Four military policemen arrested Bambou at his office on May 27 and detained him at their Research and Investigations Department for 10 days before they presented him with any official charges, according to local journalists.

I am interested in getting a new shotgun. I have a Remington 870 express and I love it. I want to get a semi auto and have been looking at the Remington 1187 sportsman super magnum shurshot turkey gun. My problem is that I can find it on their website when you click on it it goes to a page that is missing. This makes me think that they don't sell it anymore? Anyone have any info on this?
I also was wondering if I can get a slug barrel for this gun? I have been to a couple places to deer hunt where I have to use a shot gun and would like to have the semi auto option when I do that? Thanks in advance

Ran/worked out, read, napped, went out to eat.
Another poor night's sleep due to the wicked winds (in fact, the wind turbine on the roof was squealing and squeaking from about 2am whenever really strong gusts turned it fast, because the ties that bind it had broken loose). Re-tied said wind turbines on the roof, which is not a fun activity during heavy wind conditions (I now have uber respect for how Luke handled underneath Cloud City). Went to the school for their group study session (hardly anyone wants help from English teachers; must be that I-can't-cheat-to-get-the-ONE-RIGHT-answer-from-my-phone aspect) and finsihed the last of the late/missing/absent work before finals this week. Did most of the last of my Christmas shopping (I think). Finally, after weeks of sitting there, mocking me, on the desk, I filed away some paperwork (and some electronic filing as well). Watched very little TV, but started reading a book recommended from a SSG Forumite (I hope it improves from the first dozen pages so far).
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Made some breakfast, went to my nephews basketball game, ran, relaxed, read and did laundry.
Stayed inside with my wonderful (read: not wonderful) cold. Only showered about noon-ish. Did some clean up and organizing. Read my final book of the year (68 total in '11). Watched televised New Year's celebrations on TV.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Spent the day assembling furniture, unpacking, and generally organizing my son's apartment here in Norman, OK. Went to Golden Corral and pigged out for New Year's Eve dinner.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I took a massive dump. I was going to post a picture, but the image file was too large for the server.
That's my jacket!
My Saturday was pretty similar to the other 51 Saturday's in 2011. Ran, breakfast, napped, ate, worked.
Exploring ancient Hyrule and sword fighting with Demon Lord Ghiraham.
Rogue Squadron-19 Golds, Battle For Naboo-18 Platinums, Rogue Leader-15 Golds/15 Aces, Rebel Strike-19 Single Golds/19 Single Aces
James Boba Fettfield & Lord Malakite's Video Game Collection
Just returned from driving from Winslow, AZ back home to SoCal.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Simple errands (banking, recycling, library-ing), then my first of two Abraham Lincoln events at the local library. Made the bad decision to go to The Olive Garden for dinner on a Sat. night (they had just ran out of pagers, about an hour wait), but when you have a gift card AND a coupon, you bite the bullet. Did a little readign, before returning to school this week makes reading for pleasure much more difficult.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Alternative Disposition for AOR 2012-25
On October 12, 2012, the Commission considered two draft responses to an Advisory Opinion Request involving a proposal by American Future Fund, American Future Fund Political Action, David McIntosh, and David McIntosh for Indiana to take part in a joint fundraising. The Commission voted on both drafts, but neither received the four affirmative votes required to render an opinion. Thus, the Commission concluded its consideration of the request without issuing an Advisory Opinion.

I see billions+ (soon to be trillions) being spent of taxpayer money to help Big Finance, but I cannot help to think that there is a better course. Why not paydown residential mortgages $100k and allow them to refi at reduced rate of, lets say, 4%. That would reduce the cost of living for many by around $1000-$1200 per month. Also, that money goes directly back into the finance markets. In the long run, Big Finance doesn't make the most money possible, but the economy, as a whole, should stabilize. Think of it as watering a tree from the roots instead of soaking down.
Ironically, the lemmings aren't seeing that the Democratic Party that termed "trickle down economics" as bad voodoo are the same promoting it.

What do you guys think?
I'm not feeling it yet, that may change with a figure on the card, but for right now it's not particularly dynamic. That said, it's a big step up from the current packaging which is lacking any excitement whatsoever. The big character photo will make a significant impact, and red is always a selling color, but the big white empty space could be a hindrance. I suspect all the sharp die-cut sections are gonna get mangled to hell fast.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about how much time and the toll Scouting takes on the life of a Scouter. And while this is true in some cases, I think it is all about priorities and taking the time to stop and smell the roses.
For most of us, we have a family that goes along with our Scouting life. Kids in the program, wife that is supportive or even a part of it. But then there are the cases that the spouse does not really understand, or the kids have all grown and gone. But Scouting remains.
We all do this for one reason or another, mostly because we see the value added to the youth of America. Simply put. Scouting does good things.
As you hang around Scouting long enough you develop friendships and parts of the program that you just fall in love with. Being part of the Training team in your district or council. Working at Pow Wow or Scouting University that kind of thing.
For others Scouting goes deeper, it is not only an activity but a passion. Collections, meetings, friendships, and keeping their finger in every piece of the pie. I used to be that guy, now the passion is still there, so is the collection, and certainly the friendships.. but I learned a few years back that every piece of the pie did not need my finger in it.. I needed to stop and smell the roses.. my family.
My family is the most important thing in my life. Yes the most important. I am blessed that they are all in Scouting and understand my passion for the program, but Scouting is made up of wonderful people and it was time to let other wonderful people get their fingers soaked in the flavors of Scouting. I pulled a few of my fingers out.
Balance is the key and every once in a while it is important to remember to smell those roses. It makes you a better Scouter. Am I ever leaving Scouting. No, I don't think so. There is so much added value in this program and I am passionate about it. I love the people that have become life long friends and I enjoy teaching, coaching, and training Americas young men. So no.. I don't have to leave Scouting.. I just need to maintain balance and smell the roses.
Yesterday was another Wood Badge study day. I went shopping for my food for this weekends Troop camp out and signed Blue cards. That was it for day 9 of #100daysofscouting.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Selective deficiency of IgA is the most common immune deficiency disorder. Persons with this disorder have a low or absent level of a blood protein called immunoglobulin A.
IgA deficiency
IgA deficiency is usually inherited, which means it is passed down through families. However, cases of drug-induced IgA deficiency have been reported.
It may be inherited as an
Many people with selective IgA deficiency have no symptoms.
If a person does have symptoms, they may include frequent episodes of:
Other symptoms include:
There may be a family history of IgA deficiency. Tests that may be done include:
No specific treatment is available. Some people gradually develop normal levels of IgA without treatment.
Infections should be treated with antibiotics. In some cases, longer courses of antibiotics may be needed to prevent infections from coming back.
Those with selective IgA deficiency who also have IgG subclass deficiencies may be helped with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), given through a vein. Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) treatments given under the skin may also help.
Autoimmune disease treatment is based on the specific problem.
Note: People with complete IgA deficiency may develop anti-IgA antibodies if given blood products and IVIG. This may lead to
Selective IgA deficiency is less harmful than many other immunodeficiency diseases.
Some people with IgA deficiency will recover on their own and begin to produce IgA in larger quantities over a period of years.
Autoimmune disorders such as
Patients with IgA deficiency may develop antibodies to IgA, and can have severe, even life-threatening reactions to transfusions of blood and blood products. If transfusions are necessary, washed cells may be cautiously given.
Consider genetic counseling if you have a family history of selective IgA deficiency and you plan to have children.
If you have an IgA deficiency, be sure to mention it to your health care provider if IVIG or other blood-component transfusions are suggested as a treatment for any condition.
Genetic counseling may be of value to prospective parents with a family history of selective IgA deficiency.

Indiana's Turkey Run State Park
You have to crane your head back pretty far to take in the colorful autumn foliage along some of the hiking trails piercing west-central Indiana's Turkey Run State Park (65 miles west of Indianapolis). The park along Sugar Creek just east of the Wabash River is home to some of the largest trees you'll see this side of California's redwoods, and the foliage begins several stories up. Most of these oaks, hickories, sycamores and black walnuts matured into giants because they stand on land that was too rugged to log during the 1800s.
Other trails lead deep into narrow sandstone gorges where you'll find groves of Canadian hemlocks, remnants of the last ice age. The rugged beauty of this fractured, forested landscape attracts not only hikers and bicyclists, but also canoists. Paddlers are almost certain to pass under one of the park's red covered bridges.
You can overnight in Turkey Run Inn's cabins or lodge rooms, and dine on hearty favorites including fried chicken and stewed tomatoes in the dining room.

Yields about 1 quart.
Take a virtual tropical vacation with this sunny flavored ice cream, which uses David Lebovitz's simple formula to create your own custom ice-cream flavor with flavor infusions and add-ins. You can find frozen passionfruit concentrate in many supermarkets with other Latin American frozen foods.
In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup of the cream with the milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Warm the cream mixture over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and tiny bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan, 3 to 4 minutes.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with several inches of ice water. Set a smaller metal bowl (one that holds at least 1-1/2 quarts) in the ice water. Pour the remaining cup of cream into the inner bowl (this helps the custard cool quicker when you pour it in later). Set a fine strainer on top. Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl.
In a steady stream, pour half of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a heatproof rubber spatula until the custard thickens slightly (it should be thick enough to coat the spatula and hold a line drawn through it with a finger), 4 to 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 175° to 180°F at this point. Don't let the sauce overheat or boil, or it will curdle. Immediately strain the custard into the cold cream in the ice bath.
Cool the custard to below 70°F by stirring it over the ice bath. Stir the passionfruit concentrate into the cooled custard.
Refrigerate the custard until completely chilled, at least 4 hours. Then freeze the custard in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Fold the macadamia nuts into the just-churned ice cream, transfer to an air-tight container, and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to 2 weeks.

Astronomy Lecture to Feature World's Top Planet Hunter
March 05, 2008
7 to 8:30 p.m.
As part of the ninth annual Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series, Astronomer Geoff Marcy--the scientist who has discovered more planets than anyone else in history--will present
New Worlds & Yellowstone: How Common Are Habitable Planets?
, a non-technical multimedia lecture,
Wednesday, March 5, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College.
Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
Star Trek
Star Wars
would have us believe that the universe is teeming with habitable planets and advanced species of life. In reality, after the discovery of more than 250 planets orbiting other stars, both Earth-like planets and extraterrestrial intelligence have proved elusive. Soon, however, new telescopes will begin hunting such planets. Hear what these telescopes are likely to find and whether they might spark a new era when we might begin communication with alien life.
Dr. Geoff Marcy
is professor of astronomy and director of the
Center for Integrative Planetary Science
at the University of California, Berkeley. He won the
Shaw Prize
, one of the highest honors in science, in 2005 and was
Discover Magazine
's Space Scientist of the Year. He and his co-workers pioneered the technique for finding planets around other stars without seeing light from the planet by looking for wobbles and wiggles in the motion of the star each planet orbits. By using this technique. he discovered 70 of the first 100 planets discovered beyond our solar system. He was one of the youngest scientists elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the Foothill College Astronomy Program, NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute and Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Past lectures from the series are available online in MP3-format at www.astrosociety.org/education/podcast/index.html.
Visitors must purchase a campus parking permit for $2.

Man I love history!
And I want to thank RTF member Rnd for the wonderful surprise in my mailbox yesterday!
A couple weeks ago I had a couple of phone conversations after my goose trail thread. About why we all test and hunting dogs vs. testing dogs and why hunt tests started.
Well team.
It dont get much clearer than the first yellow page below. Side one of the insert of the combination AKC / NAHRA rulebook from 1984!
I have wanted one of these for ages! Thank You Very Much!
I hope you all are able to zoom in and read. Might be ruff for the telephone RTFers. Fire up the ol desk top if you need to. So, why were hunt tests started? To help hunters have better trained retrievers! Whod a thunk it?

Baby Stroller Warning 5/6/11
Reported by Martha Koloski | bio | email | blog
Consumer Reports has found a problem with the brakes on the 200-dollar Britax B-Nimble umbrella stroller. The stroller's user guide says to set the parking brake you "step on the brake pedal on either side of the stroller until the wheels lock." But during Consumer Reports' tests, when testers stepped on either pedal, the brake sometimes failed to engage. Testers noted that when you step on the pedal you hear a click … … and the pedal remains depressed, but the wheels may not be locked. Britax says it has not received any consumer complaints of injury related to the brakes and that the B-Nimble has passed voluntary safety standards. Nevertheless, Consumer Reports' director of testing says the braking problem is a safety concern. "If you leave the stroller on a surface that's not level and the brakes aren't engaged, the stroller could roll into harm's way, which could lead to a serious injury." Britax says "We do not believe that the results of (Consumer Reports) testing are indicative of a safety issue" and that "the audible click heard is not intended to indicate that the parking brake is engaged or locked." But Consumer Reports believes that harried parents may think the wheels are locked when they are not. Consumer Reports found the braking problem with all three samples of the B-Nimble stroller it tested. It is advising people not to buy the Britax B-Nimble and to stop using it if you own one.

Please help, I can't find a solution to fit my needs!
I've got 18MB of array I'm doing operations on.. I'm comparing POSIX threads to not-threads on search sort read write etc.
I am trying to obtain timing information for these activities.
Some take < nanoseconds (read, write), some take hours (duplicate search, bubble sort)
I need to get timing info and put it in a std::string.
clock_t end = start - clock() ; // leaves me with accuracy +/- 1 second - not good enough
time_t end, start; time(&start); time(&end); (double diffms = end - start * 1000) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC ; //goes all hex-y on me
I'm wrapping this up into timer.start() and timer.stop(). timer.stop pushes the time taken into a vector of 'timestamps'.
I fear I'm confusing you now.
Please help! Suggestions?

Westone 3 True-Fit Earphones

text: A pleasant surprise: Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void by Tim Lebbon. Usually, first-time SW writers starting new books, especially without established characters, tend to be so-so at best. This is set about 25,000 years BBY, with early Je'daii Rangers and no Sith bad guys. The plot centers around a family and one who's not good. There's a veiled comment about a certain villain from the OT, and a few touch-in-cheek lines ("... and droids don't dream" comes to mind). I was hesitant, but this series (I assume there will be more) looks pretty good; and there's a comic series to go along with it, I guess (well, as long as Dark Horse has the license).

Welcome Mr. Nicolas Coullenot
About Domaine Albert Bichot, Burgundy France:
The wine-trading company "Albert Bichot" was founded in 1831 by Bernard Bichot (1750-1850) in Meursault. His son Hyppolyte Bichot (1831-1908) donated Volnay Cuvée Blondeau the vineyard to the Hospices de Beaune, the wine will be auctioned today. In the third generation enlarged Albert Bichot I. (1870-1952) the ownership through the purchase of several small commercial buildings. He moved the headquarters from the wineries and Meursault to Beaune. The company became the largest exporter in the wake of Burgundy wines. Today it is managed by the fifth generation of Alberic Bichot (b. 1964). The company acts as a negociant éleveur, that is, there are grapes purchased from growers and contract markets the wines vinified them under his own name. In addition, acts as Bichot Vigneron (winemakers) and is owned by four renowned wine estates in Burgundy with 100 hectares of vines: * Domaine Adélie (Mercurey) with 4.2 ha * Domaine du Clos Frantin (Nuits-Saint-Georges) with 13 ha * Domaine Long Depaquit (Chablis) with 65 acres - 1791 * founded Domaine du Pavillon (Pommard) with 17 hectares of the whites three weeks refrigerated fermented in tanks in order to preserve the fruitiness. For the reds, the grapes are intact ever mashing fermented for three weeks. For aging in oak barrels and used barrels from Allier Tronçais. The extensive product range includes wines from many famous Burgundian towns with famous Grands Crus (after the church in parenthesis) and Premiers Crus. These are, for example Aloxe-Corton (Les Languettes, Clos des Maréchaudes, Corton-Charlemagne), Chablis (Les Blanchot, Bougros, Les Clos, La Moutonne, Les Preuses, Les Vaudésirs), Chambolle-Musigny, Beaune, Burgundy (Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux), Gevrey-Chambertin (Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin), Mercurey, Meursault, Monthélie, Morey-Saint-Denis, Montrachet (Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, Montrachet), Nuits-Saint- Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Vosne-Romanée (Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant) and Vougeot (Clos de Vougeot).

The morning after watching the Frontline documentary Rules of Engagement (WGBH, February 19 at 9 pm) — which investigates the 2005 massacre of two dozen men, women, and children in Haditha, Iraq — I read in a BBC report that "an Iraqi couple and their son have been killed when US soldiers stormed a tiny one-room house north of Baghdad. . . . at least one of the couple's daughters was also wounded in the raid."
Whatever overdue and probably tentative reduction of violence may have been accomplished so far by the Bush "surge," this much is true: five years after the first bombs fell on Baghdad, the fog of war still roils thick in Iraq.
The footage in this documentary is some rough stuff. Blood-spattered walls. The dead splayed awkwardly on the floor or wrapped in rugs as their relatives keen and cry. Iraqi children with vacant eyes recounting in affectless monotone what it's like to see a grenade explode and kill one's family in their home. But for all the horror made explicit here, the truth about what happened on November 19, 2005, is anything but clear. Frontline does its best to untangle the series of events, starting with the death that morning of Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas by a roadside IED and the response of his unit, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. Beyond that, there are few hard facts we can glean from that day.
The military's initial press release claimed that Terrazas and 15 civilians were killed by the bomb, and that eight insurgents were cut down after the Marines returned fire. But Time reporter Tim McGirk heard different. Four months to the day after to the blast, he wrote that "the civilians who died in Haditha on Nov. 19 were killed not by a roadside bomb but by the Marines themselves, who went on a rampage in the village after the attack, killing 15 unarmed Iraqis in their homes, including seven women and three children."
Suddenly, it seemed, Iraq had its My Lai. Congressman and former Marine John Murtha declared that the Marines killed the civilians "in cold blood." Murtha was soon sued for libel by Staff Sergeant Frank D. Wuterich, the Haditha squad leader. The suit is still pending — even as Wuterich faces trial next month on eight charges of voluntary manslaughter. (Three other Marines still face courts-martial; charges against four of the eight initially charged have been dropped.)
Frontline's reporting and production here are superb. There are interviews with McGirk, and Wuterich, an array of military brass, and many Iraqi survivors. Reams of documents from the investigation have been unearthed, and the producers obtained exclusive footage from unmanned drones hovering above the carnage.
What's most frustrating, of course, is that for all the reporting resources devoted to this tragedy, no definitive answers are forthcoming. Wuterich expresses regret for the loss of civilian life but maintains his innocence and insists his men followed standard procedure. But the Iraqi survivors — and the prosecution — insist otherwise. As McGirk says in his interview, "How can a child in pajamas be considered a threat?"

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.
