At midnight a single flame is brought forth in the darkened and ancient church of St. George and quickly it is shared, candle by candle, until all is illuminated.
The faithful sing "Christos Anesti" as they've sung it for centuries, never changing, singing of Jesus Christ and resurrection, his triumph over death, and of salvation offered to those who believe in him.
Everything is new. It is the beginning of the new day. Western Christianity celebrated the holiday last week, but it is Easter Sunday for the Orthodox, and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew leads them in song.
Please don't misunderstand. I'm not telling you what to believe or what not believe. The world is of many different faiths, and there are those who chose to put their faith in science, progress and themselves alone.
But what I am telling you is that this is the way it is here now, and the way it was at the beginning in the ancient city of Istanbul, once known as Constantinople. And I tell you that Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew still holds on, bravely, the 270th in an unbroken succession that dates directly back to the apostles.
Only some 2,000 Greeks remain here, and I can only imagine the resurrection hymn being sung by multitudes in Agia Sophia a few miles away, the great domed church of the Orthodox, now a museum, still standing after 1,500 years and large enough so that the great cathedral of Notre Dame could fit comfortably inside of it.
After the liturgy at St. George, in the patriarchate called the Phanar, they leave the church, carrying the light, to go return home to continue celebrating with family. It's time for me to leave, too, after an amazing two weeks in Greece and Turkey, and see my family again.
But as I leave I want to tell you that I'm so very fortunate that the Tribune sent me on this trip to witness two nations in extreme transition. And I'm thankful for Tribune photographer Chris Walker, who took such beautiful photos and video, offering his perspective on all of this.
What did I learn?
That Greece, the homeland of my fathers, is in economic agony, at a dangerous tipping point, with the middle class in despair, the politicians having spent all the money and the middle class having lost confidence in their corrupt political institutions. This has allowed fringe groups on the far left and the far right to gather strength. Greece serves as a warning to America.
And Turkey is in the midst of what amounts to a revolution, a peaceful democratic revolution led by Islamist politicians, an amazing story poorly understood in the West.
Greece is tired, exhausted with worry. The people have been through so much chaos in modern times that it is heartbreaking to see it happening again. And still there are those like my cousins, and like the woman from Chicago with the sweet shop, who won't give up.
Turkey is confident and growing, a bustling economy, still trying to enter the European Union, but also looking east to rebuild relationships with old Middle Eastern foes, worrying U.S. officials and our Israeli allies. And Turkey is also trying to cobble together a constitution to protect the fragile new freedoms against the old anti-religious secularists and the generals who ran things for decades.
I know that some on the left are galled by my comparisons between Greece and the U.S. But politicians of each nation learned that the way to power and wealth is to bribe the people with their own money. America can borrow and print money. In Greece, the money is gone.
The two weeks overseas have gone by too quickly. I could write a dozen more columns about what we've seen.
Like one I didn't write about the gorgeous, old world elegance of the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens. If Greece were run like the Grande Bretagne, it wouldn't only thrive, it would flourish.
And another I didn't write, about the eight Kurdish brothers running the bustling pilaf stand in Istanbul, the cars pulling up late at night, the way we pull up for hot dogs at our favorite joints.
At least I visited a Turkish barber shop, got a haircut and a fantastic shave, and also the famed "flaming ear" treatment of Istanbul: The barber lit matches and singed off my ear hair, with grace and without discomfort.
"This is how we do the ears in Turkey," said courtly barber Omer Aksoy. "So what will you tell the people in America?"
That they must visit Omer Aksoy, and bring their ears, or their trip to Istanbul will not be complete.
But most of all I'll remember Rizes, my father's village in Greece, and going up the mountain with cousin George and Chris Walker, and lighting a candle in the old church before looking down at the green valley and all the family memories below.
Now it's time to come home.
Kalo Pascha. Kali Anastasi.
Happy Easter.

- General Information
- Certificates
- Claims/Loss Reporting
- Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy (TULIP)
General Information
The Inter-University Counsel Insurance Consortium was formed by a majority of Ohio's public colleges and universities in order to realize benefits from the group purchase of property and liability insurance. Wright State University became a part of this group purchase program with the purpose of reducing the impact of underwriting, pricing, servicing, and coverage limitations. Through collaboration and cooperation, Wright State University has achieved long-term benefits by becoming a part of the IUCIC.
IUCIC Coverage
The following is a brief summary of the IUCIC coverage. The summary is not intended to provide limits, deductibles or premium information.
- Auto Physical Damage: Provides damage protection for university owned, leased, loaned, or rented vehicles.
- Automobile Liability: Provides bodily injury and property damage protection for claims arising from the operation of university vehicles. It also provides excess liability coverage for employees using personal vehicles for university business.
- Crime: Provides protection against employee theft, forgery/alteration, robbery, computer fraud, etc.
- Cyber Risk: Provides protection against breach of confidential customer information, cyber extortion, failure of systems to prevent spread of virus or a denial of service to those that rely on systems due to a failure in network security.
- Educator's Legal Liability: Provides protection for legal defense costs and settlement amounts/expenses for liability claims made for actual or alleged errors, misstatements, acts, omissions, etc.
- Employee Benefit Liability: Provides protection against liability claims arising from the administration of the University's employee benefits program.
- Excess/Umbrella Liability: Provides excess liability protections for bodily injury and property damage liability covered by Wright State University's basic underlying insurance.
- Foreign Liability: Provides protection against general liability exposures outside the United States.
- General Liability: Provides protection subject to varying terms, conditions and limits for bodily injury and property damage, personal injury liability, advertising injury liability and medical expenses.
- Law Enforcement Liability: Provides the University and its police and security officers protection against liability claims arising out of law enforcement activities.
- Property: Provides protection for the physical loss or damage to property in which the University has an insurable interest and the cause of which is the result of an insured peril.
Other Insurance
Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, & Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance
Visit the Human Resources website for more information.
Medical Professional Liability
Contact Lura Clapper at (937) 775-3908 for more information.
Pollution Legal Liability
Provides protection for legal defense costs, and clean up of pollution conditions, third party bodily injury, and property damage.
Student Health
Visit the Student Health Services website for more information.
Workers' Compensation
Visit the Human Resources website for more information or contact Office of General Counsel at 937-775-2803.
Certificates of Insurance
A certificate of insurance validates the existence of an insurance policy. It may be issued by an issuer or an insurance agent or broker. A certificate of insurance should include the following:
- Name of the insurance company and policy number
- Policy period
- Name of the insured and address
- Description of coverage
- Description and locations of operation
- Name and address of certificate holder
- Policy limits
- Notice of cancellation provision
- Authorized signature and date
Certificates to Other Parties
University groups using non-University facilities are often required to furnish a certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of insurance coverage by the University. To request a certificate of insurance, complete the Certificate of Insurance form and send it to the Office of Risk Management, Lura Clapper. Be sure your information includes the name and address of the party requesting it, the purpose of Wright State University's use, and the dates for which coverage is required.
Certificates from Other Parties
When others are contractually required to provide the University with a certificate of insurance, a copy of the certificate should be sent to the relevant department and to the Office of Risk Management.
Memorandum of Insurance
A Memorandum of Insurance (MOI) provides information about a company's insurance program. This information includes policy numbers, limits, and insurance companies. The MOI has no signature and the certificate holder's name is not shown. Also, the MOI does not have the standard cancellation wording that is contained on a Certificate of Insurance. Marsh, Wright State's insurance broker, makes additional information and a printable MOI available from their website. To view and/or print visit the Marsh website.
Claims/Loss Reporting
Automobile Claims Reporting
- Incidents or claims involving university owned, leased, loaned, or rented vehicles are to be reported to the employee's supervisor and the Office of Risk Management, Lura Clapper, (937) 775-3908.
- A copy of the Motor Vehicle Accident Reporting Kit (PDF) should be placed in all university owned, leased, loaned, and rented vehicles. It contains a form for reporting an accident. In the event of an accident, the form must be completed and forwarded to the Office of Risk Management, Lura Clapper, (937) 775-3908 as soon as reasonably possible after the incident.
- If the incident occurs on campus, the campus police must be notified.
- If the incident occurs off campus, the appropriate law enforcement agency is to be contacted.
- If another party causes damage to a university owned, leased, loaned, or rented vehicle, the Wright State University will seek to recover the damages from the responsible party.
- The University's insurer does not cover damage to personal belongings of vehicle occupants.
- The University's insurer does not cover damage to personal vehicles of employees or students used on university business. The insurance company covering the vehicle is considered primary for both auto liability and physical damage exposures.
General Liability Claims Reporting
Incidents involving bodily injury or property damage to a third party require immediate notification to the Office of Risk Management, Lura Clapper, (937) 775-3908, who is responsible for notifying the appropriate insurance carrier. In addition, all incidents involving an injury or illness that occurs to an individual on any university owned or leased property or that occurs during a university sponsored activity, regardless of location, must be reported to the Department of Environmental Health and Safety. University Policy 13275 (Reporting Injuries and Illnesses) provides complete instructions for filing a report. Visit our Forms and Policies page.
Property and Equipment Loss Reporting
- The University has property insurance to protect against direct physical loss or damage to its real or personal property from events such as theft, fire, windstorm, lightening, hail, explosion, or flood. Any applicable deductibles are the responsibility of the department incurring the loss. Reimbursement will not exceed the cost to replace, repair, or restore the item to the condition that existed immediately before the loss.
- It is the department's responsibility to notify the Office of Risk Management, Lura Clapper, (937) 775-3908 of a claim by filing a Property Loss Report.
- For equipment losses, a copy of the original purchasing documents (DPO, 1200 form, Procard Statement, and/or Invoice) is required to value the claim.
- A police report must be filed on all claims involving theft and/or vandalism, or on any other claim of a suspicious nature.
- The University is not responsible for the loss of or damage to personal property of employees or students. It is expected that these items would be insured through an individual's home insurance policy.
Cash Losses
All cash losses should be reported to campus police and to Internal Controls and Audit Services. That department may perform an audit to verify the amount of cash loss and make a recommendation as to the possible reimbursement of the amount of loss.
Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy (TULIP)
The TULIP is a Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy, also known as "Events Coverage." It is intended to provide general liability insurance to users of Wright State University facilities for specific events.
It protects both the Facility User and the university against claims by third parties who may be injured or lose property as a result of participating in an event. Events may range from very low risk events such as classroom seminars, receptions, or weddings to higher risk events including festivals and fairs, sports events, or concerts.
Who Needs Events Coverage ?
Any individual or organization who intends to use a facility owned by WSU as a venue for their event needs a Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy. For example, Beavercreek Public Schools wants to host a Bus Driver conference at the Nutter Center Berry Room. BPS would need events coverage. Other users may have affiliation with the university but are still considered third parties even though the event may be "sponsored" by university student or faculty organizations. For example, the International Students' Union holds an international food fair, or the History Department sponsors the Civil War Historians Association's Annual Conference. The History department is providing staff to assist with the conference, however, it is the CWH Association that is booking the event and paying for it. Therefore, the Civil War Historians Association would need to show proof of event coverage as a Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy.
There MUST be a third party user, vendor(s), or performer(s) to qualify. Wright State University is insured for its operational general liability risks and may not transfer this to the Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policy.
Excluded Events
Not all activities are covered by a TULIP. The following activities are some that are specifically excluded: aircraft events; bicycle races, rallies, and events; boat shows; circuses; events with attendance of over 5,000; events with prior losses; fireworks; haunted houses; laser tag; mechanical amusement devices, such as mechanical bulls; overnight camping and retreats; marathons/walkathons; political rallies; rodeo and roping events; paint ball; pyrotechnics; rummage sales (other than for charities); skateboarding; swimming and pool facilities; tractor pulls; water events; water slides.
For more information regarding Tenants' and Users' Liability Insurance Policies, please contact Lura Clapper in the office of Risk Management at (937) 775-3908.

Every Third Saturday of the Month!
Perfect Match is an Improv Comedy Show where we bring the characters and the audience decides how they come together. The show has two parts.
In the first part, eight improvisers will perform scripted character monologues. They might be from plays, movies, TV, or famous speeches. Whatever they are, they will let you meet and get a feel for the character.
In second part, the audience will decide which characters from the first round they'd like to see perform improvised scenes together. Maybe that kooky character will share the stage with that historical figure. Maybe that classical play character will have to deal with a modern celebrity as a roommate. Any pairing can happen as long as the audience is convinced they'd be the Perfect Match!
Show is December 19th at 8PM
The Social Capital Theatre Upstage
(Formerly Black Swan 3rd Floor)
Tickets $5 at door

Danny DeVito and his wife Rhea Perlman are reportedly back together after separating last year.
The Hollywood couple called time on their 30-year marriage in October, but have spent the past five months working on their issues, and they're reconciled, according to multiple reports.
In December, DeVito, 68, told TV news show "Extra" he had high hopes of winning his wife back and when he asked if there was any chance of a reconciliation, he said, "We're actually still together, just separate – but together… We're working on it."
Neither DeVito nor Perlman have discussed what prompted the split.
The couple wed in 1982 and have three kids all in their 20s.

Internet Explorer 7 in Toolbar Mayhem
Submitted by anyweb 2006-10-08 Internet Explorer 46 Comments
"I've read many articles about Internet Explorer 7's new security features and coupled with the imminent release of Vista this got me interested. I recall seeing a rather funny screenshot (which I found on the internet), which showed Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP stuffed full of spyware/toolbars/etc. I wanted to see if IE7 was any better than that screenshot of IE6, how would it cope with a user that simply clicked 'yes/allow/next/accept' to everything that was presented to them. In addition, I wanted to see how the User Account Control reacted to this, and in the end, could I restore IE7 to it's former glory."

Inside a Modern Dairy Farm
Last week I toured Blood Dairy, a third-generation farm in central Iowa. Kevin and Holly Blood, along with their son, Alex, and his wife, Melissa, own and operate the business.
I was especially interested to tour this farm because my husband grew up just down the road.
Kevin Blood took over the family farm from his dad in 1990 when they were milking 100 cows. Today, the farm milks 2,200 cows with another 600 being added this year. There are 22 full-time employees in addition to family members.
A new 900-foot free stall barn, just like the one I photographed below, is under construction now. A new milking parlor with a flash chiller is also being built. Cows are milked three times a day. "We never stop milking," says Kevin. He says cows produce 10% more when milked three times vs two times a day. "They want to be milked every eight hours," he says.
He beds the barns with 12 inches of sand and the barns are cleaned each time the cows are milked. Fans and sprinklers keep the cows cool in hot weather.
Most of the milk goes to Des Moines the day it comes from the cow and is on store shelves the next morning. All milk is tested on the farm and again at the Anderson Erickson Dairy processing plant.
Holly Blood is in charge of the calves. Six to 10 are born every day on the farm. They are fed 1 gallon of colostrum and the females are moved in a special van to a neighboring farm owned by Cory and Shannon Eldridge. New calf barns were built there two years ago (a photo of one room is below). Local farmers Todd and Sharon Kline buy all the bull calves at birth and raise them for steers.
The average cow on the Blood farm stays for six years, although some are 10 or 12 years old. "As long as they continue to produce they are welcome to stay," says Kevin.
All manure from the cows is injected into the soil as natural fertilizer on 3,500 acres of corn, soybeans, and alfalfa grown by the family.

World champions Spain regained top spot in their 2014 World Cup qualifying group on Tuesday as they beat former leaders France 1-0 in a hard-fought clash.
While Pedro Rodriguez's second-half goal saw them take a one-point lead over France in Group I, the team they beat in the 2010 World Cup final, the Netherlands, maintained their perfect record with their sixth win in six games, a 4-0 success over Romania.
The Dutch — who have recovered brilliantly under Louis van Gaal since he stepped in after they exited Euro 2012 at the group stage — lead Group D by seven points, with second-placed Hungary having drawn 1-1 away in Turkey.
England were lucky to come away with a 1-1 draw away at Group H leaders Montenegro.
Having taken an early lead through Wayne Rooney, on the ground where his red card in Euro 2012 qualifying saw him miss the first two group games at the finals, they were fortunate to even take a point.
Montenegro still lead the group by two points and could stretch it to five if they beat Ukraine in June, before England play their next qualifier at home to Moldova in September.
Other European heavyweights had little trouble against lightly regarded opponents, with Germany cruising to a 4-1 win at home against Kazakhstan and a double from Mario Balotelli — taking his haul to 10 goals in nine games for club and country since signing for AC Milan from Manchester City — seeing Italy to a 2-0 win away in Malta.
Italy lead second-placed Bulgaria by three points — Bulgaria having drawn 1-1 with Denmark — but with a game in hand.
The Czech Republic could sneak the runners-up playoff spot, as a 3-0 win in Armenia on goalkeeper Petr Cech's 100th appearance put them just two points behind Bulgaria with a game in hand.
The enthralling duel for top spot in Group A shows no sign of abating as Belgium edged Macedonia 1-0 in Brussels, while Croatia stayed on level terms by coming from a goal down to beat plucky Wales 2-1 in Swansea.
Both sides are on 16 points, with Belgium ahead on goal-difference. The two of them are nine points clear of Serbia, who put Scotland out of their misery by beating them 2-0 in Novi Sad to end their already dim hopes of reaching Brazil next year.
Spain dispelled notions before the match that their mastery of world soccer was on the wane after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to unfancied Finland on Friday.
Their performance left coach Vicente del Bosque a satisfied man.
"They are three welcome points, which changes our situation in the table," the unassuming former Real Madrid coach said. "What is better still is that we remained faithful to our style of play."
However, Del Bosque is too experienced a hand to assume the hard work is over, with both his side and France having three games remaining.
"There are still enough matches for the fortunes to change again, so nothing is yet done and dusted," he said.
His France counterpart, Didier Deschamps, said he was proud of the way his side kept battling even whan they were down to 10 men, after Paul Pogba was sent off in the second half.
"We kept battling, even when down to 10 men, but it is not easy against a team that dominates like Spain do," he said. "You need to take your chances and get some breaks, and that wasn't the case for us."
Despite a rocky performance by England in the second half against a Montenegro side that has still got to play them at Wembley, England skipper Steven Gerrard believes they can secure automatic qualification.

Anthony's 26 paces Knicks past Cavs
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Carmelo Anthony shook off a horrid shooting start and scored 26 points, leading the New York Knicks to their third straight victory, 107-97 over Cleveland on a Saturday night when LeBron James was back on the Cavaliers' bench.
Amare Stoudemire added 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Knicks, whose winning streak began after a seven-game slide and amid reports Phil Jackson may accept a job in New York's front office.
Anthony missed his first six shots, but found his touch in time to help the Knicks in their late-season run at the playoffs. J.R. Smith scored 17 and Tyson Chandler added 15 points and 11 boards for New York, which came in 3 1/2 games out of the final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference.
Kyrie Irving had 30 points, eight assists and eight rebounds for the Cavs, who retired center Zydrunas Ilgauskas' No. 11 jersey at halftime. Spencer Hawes had 21 for Cleveland, which dropped to 0-4 in March.
The Knicks were as good as done just a few days ago.
But with New York fans ready to write them off again, and coach Mike Woodson's future looking shakier than ever, the Knicks have responded with wins over Minnesota, Utah and Cleveland. There's still plenty of work to do, and the Knicks will likely need some help, but another dreadful season suddenly has some hope.
The Knicks made four 3-pointers during a 14-1 run early in the fourth to take control.
With New York down 80-77, Pablo Prigioni drained a 3, Smith followed with a long-range shot and Prigioni dropped another 3 to give the Knicks an 88-81 lead.
After a Cleveland turnover, Anthony made his fourth 3-pointer, putting the Knicks ahead by 10 with 7:38 left.
Cleveland never recovered and the Knicks outscored the Cavs 30-17 over the final 10 minutes.
Before the game, Woodson refused to bite on questions about Jackson.
"At this point, I'm not even going to entertain that," Woodson said. "My job right now is I'm in a race to try to get this team in the eighth spot. That's what I'm prepared to do. I'm trying to push guys, get them ready to play. Phil Jackson ... I'm going to stay away from that."
The loss put a damper on an otherwise memorable night for the Cavs.
At halftime, they retired Ilgauskas' jersey during a poignant ceremony. The big man overcame serious foot injuries early in his career to become the club's career leader in rebounds, games played and blocked shots.
Ilgauskas thanked Cleveland fans during the ceremony, which included the surreal sight of James sitting again on Cleveland's bench.
James, who famously left Cleveland as a free agent in 2010, kept a low profile as Ilgauskas' jersey was raised to the rafters, but afterward he greeted his close friend and then posed for photos on the floor with former teammates Delonte West and Daniel "Boobie" Gibson.
Anthony couldn't buy a basket in the early minutes before heating up.
He scored nine straight points to help the Knicks open a 45-35 lead, and then made his sixth shot in a row, a 3-pointer, to give New York a 14-point cushion.
Hawes made consecutive 3-pointers to get the Cavs within six, but Smith dropped the first of his five 3-pointers and New York pushed its lead to 58-43.
Irving, though, closed the second quarter with seven quick points to pull the Cavs within 58-50 at halftime.
NOTES: The Knicks made 14 3s. ... Cavs C Anderson Varejao played nine minutes after missing the previous 12 games with a sore back. ... James flew in from Chicago to support Ilgauskas, his teammate for eight seasons in Cleveland. With the Heat playing on Sunday, James chartered a jet to witness the ceremony. Dressed smartly in a dark suit, James sat in a luxury suite during the first half before coming down to the floor at half to see Ilgauskas' jersey raised to the rafters. ... Beginning with a game in Phoenix on Wednesday, the Cavs will play six straight games -- three at home, three on the road -- against teams currently in the playoffs. After the Suns, Cleveland will travel to Golden State and the Los Angeles Clippers before hosting Miami, Oklahoma City and Houston.

Clearbridge VitalSigns leverages on CardioLeaf
Clearbridge VitalSigns is leveraging on ECG-on-chip technology
Singapore: Clearbridge VitalSigns, a Singapore-based medical device company, is leveraging its flagship product, CardioLeaf, into a family of three different products, including CardioLeaf FIT, CardioLeaf PRO and CardioLeaf ULTRA. These three products leverage upon the same ultralow power electrocardiogram (ECG)-on-chip technology that allows for fully integrated, wireless, multilead (up to 12-lead), full heart cycle ECG monitoring and recording.
With a thickness of just nine millimeter, CardioLeaf is the world's thinnest fully-integrated three-Lead ECG monitor. CardioLeaf is worn as a simple-to-use, wireless and water-resistant plaster on the chest, providing patients with much freedom of movement and the ability to carry out their normal daily activities. CardioLeaf's patented, ultralow power consumption technology enables full ECG data to be accurately captured for up to seven days.
Its multi-channel architecture means the device is flexible enough to incorporate other monitoring vital sign or sensory recorders such as an electromyogram (EMG measuring electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles) or an electroencephalogram (EEG measuring electrical activity along the scalp). In addition, other components can be added such as accelerometers (activity monitoring), or temperature sensors for more holistic vital signs monitoring.
"We designed CardioLeaf to be an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight and ultra-comfortable ECG plaster. We quickly realised that it would be able to serve different market segments and that it would be better to develop a range of products, which would allow us to customise each to a specific group users. Moving forward, we hope to partner with research organisations, healthcare institutions and cardiac telemetry service providers, who would be keen to work with us to bring patient monitoring to the next level and improve patient compliance and comfort," said Mr Johnson Chen, MD, Clearbridge VitalSigns.
Unlike commonly-available single-lead ECG devices, the three-Lead CardioLeaf records three times as much ECG data and at an extended operating time, providing a more complete and robust picture of the human heart for analysis. This is especially important for cardiac arrhythmias, which are sporadic and difficult to monitor.

The Government Accountability Office recently denied Colt's second protest of the Army's M4 Product Improvement Plan, hopefully ending what seems to be a money-driven, seven-month delay over who gets to make M4A1 carbines for soldiers in Afghanistan.
This all began when the Army chose Remington Arms Company over Colt in April to make tens of thousands of M4A1 carbines. That award meant that more soldiers would go into combat with the M4A1, a SOF version of the carbine that features a more durable barrel and a full-auto capability. The Army's decision to dump the three-round burst setting will give soldiers a more consistent trigger and better accuracy.
Now, the GAO did rule that Colt's first protest over the Army's miscalculation of royalties it would receive for contract awards on its M4 design. The July 24 ruling forced the Army to rework the original solicitation so the vendors that fell into the competitive range could submit new price bids. All gun makers involved were forced to reveal their previous price bids for the $84 million contract to keep things fair.
Colt officials then filed an Oct. 9 protest with the GAO three weeks after the Connecticut-based gun maker received the Army's amended Sept. 21 solicitation. Colt officials wouldn't talk about the reason for the second protest then and have not returned my Nov. 29 phone call to discuss the issue.
The Army is now moving forward with its revised attempt to resolve the issue, said Don Jarosz, a spokesman for Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command.
"The Army intends to complete the source selection process and promptly issue a contract award in accordance with the amended solicitation. No contract award has been made yet, and we are not aware of any appeals made by Colt," he said.
With luck, the Army will soon be able to complete the M4 Product Improvement portion of service's dual-path strategy to improve the individual carbine. Army weapons officials launched its plan to radically improve the M4 carbine about a year after senior leaders announced a plan in November 2008 to search for a possible replacement for the M4. Roughly three years later, the improved carbine that has emerged from the effort is the M4A1, a weapon that has been in the special operations inventory since the mid 1990s.
The Army has fielded more than 6,000 M4A1s to soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Ky., this summer. The service plans to begin upgrading existing M4s to M4A1s with special conversion kits next summer.

Problems I can imagine are: more dlls (can be a problem when for example you have to include a big DLL but you only need few functions in that library), a lot of license statements you have to take care of when releasing your product, the reliability of the library, etc.

« Back to Restaurants In Lebanon
Abdul Rahman Hallab – Tripoli
Famous sweetshop and restaurant
Food:International, Lebanese
Location:Tripoli, North Lebanon
Price:Between 7$ and 11$
Review by Jean
An institution in Tripoli, Abdul Rahman Hallab is a very old sweet shop. Indeed, it's open since the 19th century!
There, you will find some of the best sweets in Lebanon, but they also have a restaurant upstairs.
The restaurant is nice and charming, people from all ages come to eat there because it's cheap, good and the 3 plats-du-jour always offer something for everyone. There are two choices of dishes with meat, chicken or fish or vegetables at reasonable prices. Salad, hummus, bread and dessert are included.
I've never been disappointed at Abdul Rahman Hallab, at such a low price, this is a must-try!Write a Review

Oct 2, 2011 at 23:43The sweet are good! BUT it's getting more and more expensive! almost double price comparing with anywhere else! The service is getting more and more sloooooow!
Aug 31, 2014 at 16:00I used to go to the Hallab restaurant every time I visited Lebanon almost everyday through out my stays. But in the past two years, portions have been becoming ridiculously negligible and the prices have been inflating times and times after, I am sorry to say it but Its no longer worth it... For this kind of money I can have a decent meal somewhere else.. I know that there are still few edible restaurants in Tripoli but Hallab is no longer on my list pity, because it was right on top a few years back...

Oct 25, 2010 at 22:44Were visiting Lebanon. Stopped by the Tripoli location and ordered 2 kilos of mixed baklava, one for us and one as a present. Everything was packaged nicely "to travel". To our disappointment, when we arrived to the US, both packages did not have baklava in them, but some other sweet we are not familiar with. We tried to contact Hallab via email (required multiple follow-ups with no response) and via relatives in Lebanon to correct the issue. We were told that the stuff we have needs to be returned and nothing can be done... Incidentally, by mistake (unknow to us that there are multiple Hallabs) we contacted Rifa't Alhallab, who responded immediately and were very helpful, even though the product was not purchased at their store.. Next time, I plan to there instead.

What began as family dream has evolved into a flourishing, successful business and one of the most highly regarded wineries in the Finger Lakes. In the early 80's Len and Judy Wiltberger had the opportunity to purchase 30 acres of land overlooking beautiful Keuka Lake. With their love of wine and winemaking experience, they planted several wine grape varieties at the site with help from their children and Len's sisters. They opened a tasting room in the mid-80's, adjacent to the vineyards, as an outlet for their premium wines. Keuka Spring's first vintage was in 1985. Throughout the 80's and 90's the Wiltberger family produced and sold wine primarily out of this tasting room. In 2003, the Wiltbergers designed and constructed a new tasting room on the opposite side of the vineyard overlooking the lake, which opened in 2004. The vines that they planted in 1981 continue to bear delicious, mature fruit. They have added additional plantings of Lemberger and Cabernet Franc to the original Chardonnay, Seyval Blanc, Riesling, and Vignoles vines. Throughout the years, all of the Wiltberger children have contributed to the development of the business and are still involved today. The family runs the day to day operation of the winery, and usually either Judy, Len, or Jeanne is around. Please feel free to say hello to them when you visit. Commitment Len and Judy are committed to making consistent, high-quality, award-winning wine, hand-crafted from vine to bottle. From the beginning, they have believed that Keuka Lake is an area capable of producing world-class wine and wanted to be a part of this trend. They have been residents of the area since 1973. They also believe that each visitor to the tasting room should have the best wine tasting experience possible, enjoying fine wine and the company of a well-trained and hospitable staff, surrounded by an atmosphere that compliments learning about and enjoying their wines. With the new tasting room, they are able to share a panoramic view of Keuka Lake from the top of the vineyards. They offer a wide selection of wines, both red and white, dry and sweet, to suite many different tastes. Initially, the Wiltbergers intentionally kept production small, to about 2,000 cases per year, hand-bottled and hand-labeled. As business grew, more and more wine became sold out. To meet customer demand, they have expanded production to about 8500 cases per year. Len and Judy Wiltberger continue to run the business today, aided by a wonderful tasting and vineyard staff. Excellence In the Vineyard Keuka Spring's vineyards are in an excellent location for growing and ripening winegrapes. Sloping towards Keuka Lake on the East side of the east branch, with nutrient-rich Honeoye silt loam soil, the vines receive plenty of afternoon sun, an extended ripening season, and are protected from early frosts in the fall and late frosts in the spring by the slope of the hill and its proximity to Keuka Lake. In Competition Since its inception over the years, Keuka Spring has received numerous awards for quality, consistent with the Wiltberger's commitment to producing world-class wines. In 1998, Keuka Spring Cabernet Franc earned the prestigious Governor's Cup, signifying the best single wine in New York State for that year. Other accolades include numerous "Best in Class" awards for various wines, double gold and gold medals, and several Rieslings as Governor's Cup finalists. Nearly every Keuka Spring wine entered in competition has won at least one medal per vintage. We are confident that you will savor our wines and your wine tasting experience. Please enjoy your web visit. We look forward to meeting you in the tasting room! Read less

The surprise death of Syria's President Hafez Assad buries a marathon feud with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein over leadership of the nationalist camp in the Arab world.
The two men, who set out as members of the same Baath party founded on dreams of Arab unity and have ruled with an iron grip, never met publicly as presidents and even set their armies against each other in the 1991 Gulf War.
Historians record they could barely stand to be in the same room as each other. And they did so only three times.
The Arab world was just not big enough for the both of them.
Whatever the causes -- the Baath party, Iran, the Kurds, the Palestinians, Lebanon, the Gulf War -- the two men always seemed to end up on opposing sides.
Even in death, the Baghdad regime maintained a chilly silence on Assad's passing, which was reported by the media without comment.
The bitter rivalry can be traced back to 1966 when the pan-Arab aspirations of the Baath party, founded in Syria in 1947, fell apart in an ideological battle for control.
Saddam, unwilling to accept Damascus's authority over a new "national command" covering the Arab world, initiated a meeting of the Iraqi wing. It proved a watershed, dividing ineluctably the branches in Iraq and Syria.
A unified Baath with a regional command in each country ceased to exist.
Ironically, or perhaps Saddam suspected Assad's imminent death, just last week he assumed for the first time the title of secretary-general of the "national command" of the Baath party in Iraq.
The rift between the two leaders soon became spiced with personal animosity.
Assad, cunning and ambitious to lead the Arab cause, had built on success as a military officer. Saddam had failed examinations to the prestigious Baghdad military academy.
The Syrian had been an undisputed ruler since 1970. Saddam, although de facto leader, had to wait until 1979 to take the crown officially.
Egypt's pursuit of peace with Israel had resulted in an Iraqi rapprochement with Syria in 1978 at a time when both Damascus and Baghdad were still sworn enemies of the Jewish state.
Assad went to Baghdad for an autumn summit and the two parties soon declared they were "one state, one party and one people".
The honeymoon did not last as entrenched enmity resurfaced.
Assad returned to Baghdad in 1979, but his mission failed and the unity project was finally buried a month later when Saddam took total power. He accused Syria of involvement in a coup attempt against him.
The following year, Iraqi forces invaded Iran. Baghdad accused Damascus of treachery for its support of Tehran and diplomatic relations have been severed ever since.
King Hussein of Jordan attempted reconciliation between the two in a border meeting in the early 1980s to no avail.
In 1988, Iraq began financial and military support to General Michel Aoun who had declared a "war of liberation" to drive Syrian troops out of Lebanon.
And when Iraq overran Kuwait in 1990, Assad sent troops to join the US-led multinational force, which ejected Saddam's army.
Saddam even linked evacuation from Kuwait not only with Israel's withdrawal from "Palestine" but also a Syrian pullout of Lebanon.
The two neighbors began to normalize links in 1997 on the basis of trade, gradually opening their border to businessmen and government officials.
In July 1998, the two countries agreed to re-commission the oil pipeline between the Kirkuk oilfield and the Syrian port of Banias, closed since 1982, but it is still not operational.
Iraq opened an interest section in Damascus in April this year and Syria is expected to follow suit.
Diplomats are watching to see if the regime, which emerges in Damascus, expected to be led by Assad's son Bashar, will pursue the timid opening.
Saddam is sending one of his vice presidents, Taha Mohieddin Maaruf, to the funeral on Tuesday, making him the highest-ranking Iraqi official to visit Syria in two decades – (AFP)

After working in this industry for even a short time, you are in tune with all the things around you that have been created on a metalworking machine tool and realize how extensive the list is. Almost everything made in a factory contains at least one part that was manufactured on a machine tool.
My realization of this came especially clear when I began working in the industry (almost 10 years ago) shortly after my father broke his hip after slipping on a sheet of ice in a parking lot. The screws surgically implanted in his hip bone were created on a metalworking machine, but at the time of his accident, I didn't think anything of it. During the healing process, Dad had some irritation problems with the screws, and therefore had them removed. When he showed these four long bone screws to me, I remember being in awe of how long they were and how strange it seemed that they were once "screwed" into his hip bone.
These bone screws were created by a metalworking process called thread whirling, which is a common medical machining process. To read more about thread whirling, how it works, what applications are best for this type of machining and more, visit Thread Whirling Basics. Thread whirling is also discussed as a medical application in Tooling Up for Micromachining.
Swiss-Type Machines: More Than Just A Lathe
CNC Swiss-Type machines have more capability built in than ever before. Many of these capabilites can be accessed using attachments that increase the throughput of the machine tool, improve the quality of the work coming off the machine and reduce or eliminate the need for secondary operations even for very complex workpieces.
Making Micro Threads
Production of micro threads can be challenging, but using the most suitable tools for a given application can simplify the task.
Broaching On A Lathe
Producing a keyway, spline or similar longitudinal feature on a turned part usually necessitates an additional, time-consuming, secondary operation on a broaching or slotting machine. That means moving the part to and from a secondary operation, an extra setup, additional labor and hourly machine costs and all of the other headaches that go with secondary operations.

Master Race-Day Nutrition: 10 Keys for Success
Dial in your food and drink to finish your first IRONMAN on top.
by Jesse Kropelnicki
Race-day fueling—or what to eat during an IRONMAN—is a common source of confusion for many new athletes. Put the control into your own hands by treating your nutrition strategy with respect. This 10-point fueling plan provides a beginner's road map to success when tackling your first 140.6-mile event.*
1. Carb-load like a pro
Begin your carbohydrate load at lunchtime, two days prior to the race. Start by incorporating grains that you wouldn't typically consume (i.e. white bread), being careful not to finish meals feeling uncomfortably full. Your main carbohydrate load, however, will take place at breakfast the day before the event. Finish eating by 9 a.m. at the latest, after which you'll begin tapering off food for the remainder of the day.
Thereafter, choose frequent carbohydrate-rich snacks (i.e. pretzels), and finish the day with an early, light dinner. Eat foods very low in fat and fiber (this means few fruits and vegetables, if any). Aim to consume approximately 10 times your body weight (in kilograms) as grams of carbohydrate.
2. Cut the caffeine
Avoid caffeine during race week and early on the day of your race. This fast will help keep your sensitivity to caffeine high so that you can maximize its effect come go-time. Don't consume caffeine until at least two to three hours into your race (since it may wear off and make you fatigued when you need energy most); it's your friend later in the day, helping you maintain a high heart rate and drive proper pacing. (And as a general rule of thumb, try to keep caffeine intake below 200 milligrams per day/1,000 milligrams per week.)
3. Fill your bottles
Use at least 0.6 grams of carbohydrate, per hour, per pound of body weight, on the bike—and half of that on the run. The sodium content of these fuels should be at least 8 milligrams per gram of carbohydrate. Fat and protein content should be absolutely minimal, and fiber even less.
4. Race morning breakfast
Consume a meal three and a half hours before the start of your IRONMAN—yes that's 3:30 a.m. This meal should contain between 110 and 180 grams of carbohydrate, depending upon your size, and contain very little fat or fiber. A good option would be two-and-a-half cups of unsweetened apple sauce, one scoop of whey protein, one bottle of sports drink and a banana.

5. Sodium wars
Most athletes underestimate their race-day sodium needs. I recommend tallying your planned hourly race day sodium intake, and measuring it against the fact that most athletes lose between 800 and 4,000 milligrams of sodium per hour. To get a reasonable estimate of your specific needs, assume a loss of approximately 500 to 800mg of sodium per 16oz of sweat lost. (If you have experienced muscle cramping in the past, err to the higher side of this range.) Using this sodium concentration and your estimated fluid losses, you'll get a pretty good idea of your actual sodium needs.
6. Salty insurance
Always carry extra sodium with you on race day. Whether you have your fueling plan set in stone or have no idea what you're doing, it's foolish to not have this insurance. Your sodium supplement should contain at least 200 milligrams per capsule. (Some brands on the market do not.) If at any point you feel a muscle twinge or stomach bloating, no matter how slight, take one.
7. Easy on the H2O
I encourage my athletes to avoid water during an IRONMAN. We've found that water only increases the probability of developing a sloshy stomach, due to a lack of sodium, and tends to put a hole in your steady blood sugar response. We stick to sports drinks, with the appropriate sodium concentration, as discussed above.
8. Put the "P" in pedal
You should aim to pee at least twice during the bike portion of an IRONMAN. Athletes who fail to do this will not typically run to their potential. A good rule of thumb for 70.3 races is to pee at least once during the bike.
9. Pacing panacea
Even your best-laid nutrition plans can backfire if you mispace the race. Start with a steady pace—no harder than you are able finish with. Too much stress too early can shut down the gut and render your fueling plan useless. Bloating and sloshing generally occur for one of two reasons: not enough sodium or too much stress. If gut issues creep up, slow down and back off of your pace, allowing things to clear up. Few athletes have the courage to do this before it's too late.
10. Listen to your heart (rate)
At the end of the day, IRONMAN fueling and pacing is all about being able to keep your heart rate elevated during the later portions of the run. If you're a geek about one thing, make it this. Any mistakes made with your fueling and pacing will be illustrated by a lower heart rate toward the end of the run.
Put these 10 points into practice and execute them to the letter. As a coach who's worked with countless athletes on race fueling, from beginners to seasoned professionals, one thing has always stood out: Nailing IRONMAN race fueling goes a long way in defining your day.

Nelda K. Biasi, a retired Baltimore public school physical education teacher and counselor, died Jan. 25 from heart failure at Heartlands Nursing Home in Severna Park. She was 96.
The daughter of farmers, the former Nelda Kalar was born in Kerens, W.Va., and later moved with her family to a Carroll County farm.
After graduating from Carroll County High School in 1934, she earned a nursing degree in 1938 from the University of Maryland School of Nursing.
"She worked her way through Western Maryland College while working as a nurse at the college, where she earned her bachelor's degree in education in 1941," said a niece, Barbara K. Jett of Sherwood Forest.
While at what is now McDaniel College, Mrs. Biasi met her future husband, Irvin E. Biasi, whom she married in 1942.
Mr. Biasi, who later became a much revered football and basketball coach at Patterson High School, died in 2005.
Mrs. Biasi, who began her teaching career in 1943, was a longtime physical education teacher at Forest Park High School and later became a guidance counselor at Garrison Junior High School, from which she retired in 1973.
Mrs. Biasi and her husband lived for years on East 33rd Street, near Memorial Stadium, and moved in the 1960s to a farm they purchased in New Chester, Pa.
They later moved to a pre-Revolutionary War home in New Oxford, Pa., and in 1988 to Hanover, Pa. Mrs. Biasi lived there until moving to Severna Park last year.
She enjoyed reading and traveling and was an avid golfer. She continued playing well into her 90s, and was a member of the Hanover Country Club, where she was the first woman to hit a hole-in-one in 1964, her niece said.
"She repeated it several times," said Mrs. Jett.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Kenworthy Funeral Home, 269 Frederick St., Hanover, Pa.
In addition to Mrs. Jett, she is survived by several other nieces and nephews.

Strong safety Tyvon Branch returned to practice today, and he now factors into the mix for the Raiders game plan against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Branch is battling ankle and neck issues of late. If he can't play Sunday against the Chiefs or he aggravates an injury, Mike Mitchell will take his place.
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour is the only player unable to practice today. Therefore, it's likely that he won't play Sunday and miss a sixth straight game.
Seymour suffered a hamstring injury against the Buccaneers on Nov. 4 and hasn't played since that day. He returned to practice this week, only to suffer a "setback" Thursday, in coach Dennis Allen's words.
— Still no official word from the Raiders on whether Sunday's game sold enough tickets for the game to be televised locally.
The Raiders were granted a one-day extension by the league, which bodes well for the Raiders selling at least 85 percent of the tickets needed to avert a blackout.
Six of Oakland's first seven regular-season home games were televised locally. The only game that failed to sell enough tickets was the one against the Browns on Dec. 2.
Fourteen of the past 15 home games were televised locally.
— Interesting item from ESPN's Adam Schefter today:
Schefter said the Seattle Seahakws MVP jsut might be assistant head coach Tom Cable. Yes, that Tom Cable.
Here's what Schefter wrote:
"Ask any Seattle player, and he will speak of how important Cable has been. He has helped give Seattle its physical mindset. (Running back Marshawn) Lynch even waited for reassurance that Cable would be back for 2012 before he agreed to re-sign."
Schefter opined that Cable is on track to be considered for another head coaching gig in the NFL based on the wonders he has worked with the Seahawks.

Madoff's lawyer Ira Lee Sorkin declined comment. Ruth Madoff's attorney Peter Chavkin also declined comment.
Prosecutors said the Montauk house is worth about $7million, the Palm Beach Mansion $7.4 million which had about $1.5 million in art, furniture and other belongings. Any claims to Madoff's boats, cars and securities were also relinquished.
The court filing came as prosecutors asked that Madoff be sentenced to 150-years for masterminding what is believed to be the largest financial swindle in history.
Federal sentencing guidelines allow for the 150-year term, prosecutors said. Any lesser sentence, they added, should still be long enough to send a forceful message and "assure that Madoff will remain in prison for life."
Madoff's attorney has asked for 12-year sentence. Madoff will learn his fate Monday.

Fort Huachuca, Az. - Three Soldiers from the U.S. Army Garrison Fort Huachuca Select Honor Guard received special recognition June 10 for going above and beyond the call of duty to honor a fallen veteran. Staff Sgt. Jammy Frison, Staff Sgt. Ryan Rendina and Pfc. Orville Arel volunteered their own off-duty time to render honors at the memorial service of Alfred Bopp, a veteran Marine who served in the Korean War. The Bopp family was presented with a unique circumstance. Krist Bopp's father Alfred was already buried and given his honors in Wisconsin. However, when his mother passed away in Bisbee, it was her dying wish that her husband's cremated remains be buried with her own. "Most people don't have that kind of a situation," Rendina said. "We don't do too many reburials."
Typically, the Casualty Assistance Office takes calls regarding funeral arrangements for veterans, but could not help with a reburial. Rendina, who serves as the operations noncommissioned officer, took the phone call Bopp made directly to the honor guard, and decided to help him out.
Soldiers from the honor guard were asked to volunteer for the reburial since this was not an assigned memorial. Frison was the first to step forward; Arel was the second.
The three Soldiers performed the veteran's honors at the Bopp family cemetery on April 27 in front of about 10 family members. In the Soldiers' book, it was just another typical day of honor guard duties, but for Bopp and his family, it meant something more. Bopp wrote a five-page letter to Maj. Gen. Robert Ashley, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, expressing his gratitude. Bopp's family also contributed $100 to the Wounded Warriors program and $50 to the Paralyzed Veterans of America in appreciation of the three Soldiers' efforts. Rendina, Frison and Arel each received a star note from Ashley along a with the commanding general's USAICoE Coin of Excellence in the special recognition ceremony held at Alvarado Hall. The Soldiers received their awards with humility. They explained that their acknowledgement extends to all Soldiers in the Fort Huachuca Select Honor Guard.
"I'm glad Soldiers are being recognized in the honor guard for their hard work and contributions," Frison said. For Rendina, the experience stands out in another way. "That was my first funeral," he said, explaining that while he is trained to do funerals, his main task is handling honor guard operations.
The Fort Huachuca Select Honor Guard works demanding hours, often handling the honors at multiple funerals and memorial services in one day. Rendering honors during a Soldier's spare time is rare, according to 1st Sgt. Brandon Moore, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Army Garrison. He said there is a great sense of pride in what Rendina, Frison and Arel accomplished.

Silent Film San Francisco
Neighborhood: Financial District
Please Note:
Our free (donations welcome!), regularly scheduled tours are open to the public but NOT open to parties of 8 or more. If you plan to bring 8 or more walkers to a regular tour, please click here for more information on booking private group tours.
San Francisco's connection with the movies goes back more than 125 years to the dawn of the moving picture. From iconic locations to obscure alleys, San Francisco was the setting for hundreds of silent films from the 1890s on, with stars like Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mary Pickford, Lon Chaney and Rudolph Valentino. Many of its native sons and daughters became famous in front of and behind the camera as the silent era peaked in the 1920s - and an infamous downtown speakeasy was the setting for an historic studio scene that sounded (literally) the end of silent film. Join us on a walk through the Barbary Coast, Chinatown, the Financial District and Union Square and learn about an eccentric photographer, a golden molar, the first Hispanic movie star, the influence of anti-Chinese laws, and the greatest scandal of the silent era.

One of the most widespread and commonly observed birds of prey in North America, the Red-tailed Hawk (hereafter Red-tail) occupies a broad range of habitats from central Alaska south to Venezuela and east to the Virgin Islands. Breeding behavior, summer food habits, and habitat use have been well documented in many of these regions, but the taxonomic status of some populations remains unclear. The species varies greatly across its range, with up to 16 subspecies recognized by various authorities. Races are usually distinguished by ventral coloration, tail markings, and/or size, but there is no clear geographic trend in any of these characters. Some populations are polymorphic in ventral coloration (i.e., polychromatic), ranging from nearly white to nearly black, and extensive inter-gradation among adjacent subspecies complicates taxonomic relationships. Migration is diurnal, with the extent of migration varying annually depending on weather, especially snow cover. Most migratory movements are < 1500 km, and migrants rarely make water crossings > 25 km. In northernmost populations most individuals migrate south, while those breeding in the southern U.S. and n. Mexico are year-round residents.
Generally monogamous, this species initiates courtship and maintains the pair bond with spectacular aerial maneuvers performed by both members of the pair. Territories are vigorously defended at least during the breeding season, and may be defended year-round by sedentary birds and where overwintering density is high. Territory size varies with habitat and food availability but typically ranges from about 1.25 km2 to more than 2.5 km2; minimum reported inter-nest distance is 0.32 km. At least in sedentary birds, mates stay paired throughout the year. In interior North America, first eggs are laid in mid-late March, but eggs are known as early as December in the tropics. Clutch size is typically 2-3, and incubation lasts about 28 days. Young leave the nest 42-46 days after hatching, but may remain associated with parents up to six months longer.
Throughout its range, this hawk typically inhabits open areas interspersed with patches of trees or structurally similar features. However, Red-tails also nest in high densities in closed-canopy rain and cloud forests in tropical regions. The species is primarily a sit-and-wait predator and generally requires elevated perch sites for hunting. Where it inhabits closed-canopy tropical forests, however, the Red-tail dives on prey from the air far above the canopy. It may also catch bats and other, highly concentrated, flying prey in the air. Occasionally, members of this species capture insects and other prey on foot. The species' diet includes a wide variety of small to medium-sized mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and fresh carrion.
This is a common hawk. The global population of 2,000,000 or more is considered stable or slightly increasing, although numbers may be declining slightly in the mixed-woodland plains of far eastern Canada. Populations increased through much of North America during the mid-to-late 20th century, apparently in response to the widespread establishment of open, wooded parkland in place of grassland or dense forest. This species is tolerant of exurban development and agricultural development as long as food is available and the converted landscape includes adequate open space and perch sites for hunting and tall trees or other structures for nesting. Some individuals successfully breed in large, urban environments.
Most information on life history and ecology for this species comes from studies in interior North America of breeding populations (e.g., Fitch et al. 1946b, Craighead et al. 1969, Orians and Kuhlman 1956, Luttich et al. 1970, Luttich et al. 1971, Gates 1972, Johnson 1975d, Mader 1978, Petersen 1979a, Kirkley and Springer 1980, Stout et al. 1998, Stout et al. 2006a) and wintering populations (e.g., Craighead et al. 1969, Petersen 1979a, Preston 1980, Bildstein 1987a, Preston 1990, Garner and Bednarz 2000, Leyhe and Ritchison 2004), but important contributions from Puerto Rico (e.g., Snyder et al. 1987c, Santana and Temple 1988, Boal et al. 2003) have expanded our understanding of how this species adapts to a wide array of habitats across its range. Life history and ecology in the tropics outside of Puerto Rico remains poorly documented, however. The Red-tailed Hawk provides a model for a highly-adaptable, generalist predator, and ongoing studies across its range should provide important insights into how some species are better able than others to exploit varied conditions and persist in rapidly changing environments.

I've always considered myself a sports fanatic – but only when it came to watching other people do it! Three years ago, I decided to give running a go. So armed with my iphone, the couch to 5k app and hidden from the world on a secluded beach close to my home, I started to move... slowly. Jogging for 30 seconds to start with felt like an eternity. But somehow, I managed to keep moving and got to my goal of running 5k without stopping (or keeling over!) within a couple of months. But to get any better, I knew I couldn't do it alone. It was then that I took the next step and joined my local athletic club, entered my first 10k (the Great Ireland Run) and I haven't looked back since. Time wise, it is easy to fit into a busy life. Training takes place for an hour three times a week, with a long slow run on a Sunday. Three years on and a second child added to the family (I continued to run a slow 5k throughout my pregnancy), I have just completed a half marathon, something I would have thought impossible not that long ago. Running has given me energy, confidence, a new circle of friends and much needed head space away from the demands of work and parenting.

For those fortunate enough to encounter them, the unique insights and research of Rudolf Steiner into subjects such as education, medicine and agriculture have long been a source of wonder and inspiration. Since his death in 1925, Steiner's vision has grown in both relevance and urgency, yet there are many people still unaware of his life and work. The Challenge of Rudolf Steiner, from the British film-maker Jonathan Stedall, aims to take the story to a wider audience.

Both major parties have taken a hit in Western Australia's Senate election re-run while the Greens and Palmer United Party are the big winners.
So far 89.61 per cent of polling places have counted first preferences, showing a 5.49 per cent swing against the Liberals and a 4.83 per cent swing against Labor.
The Liberals are expected to pick up two seats while Labor is in line for one.
The Palmer United Party (PUP) secured a 7.48 per cent swing and the Greens 6.39 per cent, which should give both parties a seat.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott dismissed the swing against the federal government.
"I think it's a typical by-election result," he told reporters from Tokyo.
"Candidates who are against the carbon tax and mining tax have performed very strongly."
Mr Abbott expects both taxes to be swiftly scrapped when the new Senate takes office from July 1.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann was not writing off the Liberals' third candidate, Linda Reynolds, for the sixth Senate seat.
"Our position will strengthen in the days and weeks ahead," he told Sky News, as counting gets underway in WA on pre-poll and postal votes.
He played down the Greens' success.
"Clearly a lot of people parked their vote with the Greens because they didn't have confidence with Bill Shorten and Labor," he said.
"They are the ultimate protest party ... Labor is at risk of being marginalised."
Senator Cormann was hopeful the Abbott government would be able to get its agenda through parliament once the balance of power moves to the cross-bench.
The government would have more options and would be working with senators from a broader range of backgrounds, he said.
Labor's shadow assistant treasurer Andrew Leigh is confident the party's second candidate Louise Pratt will get up.
He said the re-run Senate election was unusual and low voter turn-out was a challenge.
Asked how much of a factor Labor's lead candidate Joe Bullock had been in the party's poor result Mr Leigh said: "Joe's a passionate warrior for the Labor cause".
The party was forced to go on the defensive over preselecting Mr Bullock following reports of his 1996 conviction for assault, his record of voting for the Liberal party and comments that Labor could not be trusted and was full of mad members.
Mr Leigh maintained the election was fought on the Abbott government's secret cuts rather than personalities of particular candidates.
The federal government refused to release its Commission of Audit report before the WA poll which reportedly contains recommendations for savage budget cuts. WA Labor frontbencher Gary Gray said since 1990 Labor had found it increasingly difficult to win traction federally in his state.
"We peaked in many ways in 1998, when we had a strong federal Labor leader (Kim Beazley) from WA," he said.
He said Labor needed to do some soul-searching.
"Our party does need to set about the business of building itself in a new and modern WA and better relating to people in WA as a federal organisation," he said.

Ross Garnaut resigns as Chairman of OK Tedi
Papua New Guinea's ban on Australian economist, Professor Ross Garnaut, has forced Mr Garnaut to resign as Chairman of one of PNG's biggest companies.
Professor Garnaut has resigned as Chairman of Ok Tedi Mining Ltd saying it is not possible for him to fulfil his responsibilities to this large and complex company while the PNG government maintains its ban on his travelling to the country.
The ban was imposed in September after BHP Billiton refused to comply with Prime Minister Peter O'Neill's demand to renegotiate its agreement governing control of Ok Tedi's major shareholder, PNG Sustainable Development Ltd, a $1.4 billion charitable trust set up for the benefit of Papua New Guineans.
Professor Garnaut's resignation takes effect immediately, bringing an end to his last official role in PNG after an association of 47 years.

Is there a canonical book for learning Java as an experienced developer?
I've been coding for close to 25 years now in basic, (C64 & Amiga), (Object) pascal, C, LPC and for the last few years, Python. Python is definitely my favourite (and strongest) language. However, lately I've been forced to do stuff in Java - I have never written a single line of java code so far.
So I'm asking your advice - what is the fastest and most efficient crash course to learn java.
EDIT: I'm really looking for something along the lines teaching java to people who know how to code and what OOP is - not something that has with no previous programming experience in the synopsis.
