Brewer calls ruling of SB 1070 'a victory for the rule of law'
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer released a statement on the Supreme Court's decision to uphold portions of SB 1070.
Brewer believes the "heart" of the law was upheld and she calls it "a victory for the rule of law," adding later at a press conference, "It's certainly not the end of our journey."
"Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is a victory for the rule of law. It is also a victory for the 10th Amendment and all Americans who believe in the inherent right and responsibility of states to defend their citizens. After more than two years of legal challenges, the heart of SB 1070 can now be implemented in accordance with the U.S. Constitution.
"While we are grateful for this legal victory, today is an opportunity to reflect on our journey and focus upon the true task ahead: the implementation and enforcement of this law in an even-handed manner that lives up to our highest ideals as American citizens. I know the State of Arizona and its law enforcement officers are up to the task. The case for SB 1070 has always been about our support for the rule of law. That means every law, including those against both illegal immigration and racial profiling. Law enforcement will be held accountable should this statute be misused in a fashion that violates an individual's civil rights.
"The last two years have been spent in preparation for this ruling. Upon signing SB 1070 in 2010, I issued an Executive Order directing the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZ POST) to develop and provide training to ensure our officers are prepared to enforce this law efficiently, effectively and in a manner consistent with the Constitution. In recent days, in anticipation of this decision, I issued a new Executive Order asking that this training be made available once again to all of Arizona's law enforcement officers. I am confident our officers are prepared to carry out this law responsibly and lawfully. Nothing less is acceptable.
"Of course, today's ruling does not mark the end of our journey. It can be expected that legal challenges to SB 1070 and the State of Arizona will continue. Our critics are already preparing new litigation tactics in response to their loss at the Supreme Court, and undoubtedly will allege inequities in the implementation of the law. As I said two years ago on the day I signed SB 1070 into law, �We cannot give them that chance. We must use this new tool wisely, and fight for our safety with the honor Arizona deserves.'"

Mountain Dew introduces a breakfast drink
But the surging popularity of energy drinks has also led to sharper scrutiny. This summer, New York's attorney general launched an investigation into the marketing prices of energy drink makers including Monster and PepsiCo, which also makes Amp. Lawmakers and consumer advocacy groups have also called on the Food and Drug Administration to investigate the safety of the high levels of caffeine in energy drinks for younger people.
Although Kickstart may look like an energy drink, it has far less caffeine, at 92 milligrams for a 16-ounce can. A comparable amount of regular Mountain Dew would have 72 milligrams of caffeine while a can of PepsiCo's Amp energy drink has 142 milligrams, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
By comparison, a 16-ounce cup of Starbucks coffee has 330 milligrams of caffeine.

ECHN Center for Wound Healing
Every wound has its unique set of circumstances. Our Center for Wound Healing is equipped and staffed to address them all, with most treatments covered by Medicare/Medicaid, HMOs and other private insurance plans. We are expert at caring for people whose open sores have resisted traditional treatment with a success rate of 89% healed in 16 weeks.
For more information, call 860.533.2903, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. The Wound Healing Center is located at Manchester Memorial Hospital.
Specialists working together for you.
Our Center is staffed with a unique team of doctors, nurses, and therapists all dedicated to healing chronic wounds. The causes of open sores are complex and our group represents expertise in all of the major areas necessary to handle their carried circumstances and challenges. Whatever it takes for healing to occur, we're equipped and staffed to make it happen.
Steps to start healing:
What to bring to your first appointment:
Your role in healing.
Much of the success of your treatment depends on you. We'll count on you to follow directions carefully and watch your progress closely. You'll learn about caring for your wound at home including how to change dressings and how to protect yourself from further injuries. We're always here to answer questions and give you the support you need to heal.
New wound healing options available here.
At the Wound Healing Center, you'll receive the right treatment to heal your wound. Your wound care doctor may prescribe some of these therapies:
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO)?
Breathing 100% oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure is a painless, proven way to help the body heal. HBO chambers work by surrounding the patient with 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure in sessions, or dives, that last 90 minutes to two hours. This increases the amount of oxygen in the patient's blood allowing red blood cells to pass more easily through the plasma into the wounds to heal them from the inside out.
Introduced in the mid-'60s, HBO chambers have evolved to treat patients suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections, compromised skin grafts and flaps, and wounds that haven't healed within 30 days.
The HBO chambers resemble a reclining bed encased in a clear acrylic shell nearly a yard in diameter. Patients can listen to music or watch movies on televisions and DVD players mounted above the chamber while remaining in constant contact with those outside the chamber through an intercom and private handset. The only physical sensation resulting from the treatment is a slight pressure on the eardrum, such as that felt when a plane lands, as the air in the chamber is compressed.
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call The Center for Wound Healing at 860.533.2903 or e-mail Denise Dowd, Program Director, at email@example.com.

Port Elgin Rotary Club president Martin Khule leads the walkers in last years' Walkathon. PHOTO SUBMITTED
The snow is just about gone, spring is finally here and it is time for the Port Elgin Rotary's 11th annual Send a Kid to Camp Walkathon
This year's fundraiser will be held on Saturday, May 10, leaving the Baie Verte Hall at 10 a.m. At the end of the walk, participants will be treated to a hot luncheon at the hall consisting of homemade chili, soup, rolls, pies and more.
All of the money raised will be used to send kids to camp, both to Rotary Camp Tidnish and Camp Ta-Wa-Si. It is hoped that many members of the community will support this event, either by walking or sponsoring a walker.
Last year, local Rotarians were able to help nine young children to attend these two camps, and this year they are asking for the public's help in reaching their goal of sending just as many to camp this year.

Vettel goes from fan favorite to villain
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates As Sebastian Vettel has established himself as the most dominant Formula One driver of his generation, racing fans have come to see him as the boyish, fun-loving face of the glamorous sport.
But after his victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, a more complex image of the German has emerged - that of a ruthless, cunning driver who will do whatever it takes to win a race and possibly his fourth consecutive drivers' championship.
The 25-year-old German ignored team orders and overtook Red Bull teammate Mark Webber for the victory with just 10 laps remaining. The move left Webber fuming and raised questions about who is truly in charge at Red Bull.
"I think it blemished his reputation," three-time Formula One champion Jackie Stewart said.
"It was an unfortunate error of judgment by Sebastian and it will linger for some time," Stewart told The Associated Press. "There will be an awareness from now on that he may not be as stable as we originally thought. I personally would not have expected that to happen following the manner in which he has conducted himself in races."
Since winning his first F1 race in 2008 with Toro Rosso, Vettel proved he was one of the sport's most exciting drivers and has frequently been compared to the sports greats including fellow country and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher. After coming back to win the championship last year, Vettel became the first driver to win three titles in a row since Schumacher won five straight from 2000-04. The only other driver to win at least three consecutive championships was Juan Manuel Fangio from 1954-57.
Along the way, Vettel has showcased a persona that is almost boring in racing circles. Rather than model girlfriends, tattoos and nights spend at glitzy discos, Vettel comes off as modest in person and talks on the Red Bull website about his mother's home cooking and how there are things more important than one's "bank account."
On the track, he has proven to be aggressive but rarely reckless during his championship run. While Mercedes Lewis Hamilton had several run-ins with Ferrari's Felipe Massa in 2011 and Lotus driver Romain Grosjean caused several first-lap crashes last year, Vettel seemed content with simply winning races or doing enough to keep his championship title intact.
He did some of his best racing in the latter part of 2012, overcoming Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with a string of four straight victories down the stretch on the Asian swing. He also showed he could overcome adversity, finishing only one place behind Alonso in Abu Dhabi despite starting in the pits due to a penalty in qualifying for fuel irregularities. It preserved his championship title lead.
But Vettel also has shown signs of impatience, most troubling in 2010 when Webber was ahead of him in a race. That time, the two cars crashed when Vettel tried to overtake, spoiling what was a near-certain 1-2 finish.
He was largely forgiven for the Turkey crash, partly due to his youth.

Jacks of all trades
Today, many climate scientists are truly interdisciplinary, which can be a challenge. To begin with, there's the jargon. "The same word can mean completely different things in different disciplines," says Shine. Take the term "high resolution". To a global climate modeller, resolving every 50 kilometres is very fine scale, but to a soil scientist, that is ridiculously low resolution.
"You have to be brave to be interdisciplinary," says Brenda Boardman of the University of Oxford's Environmental Change Institute, whose career has spanned economics and sociology. "You will never know as much as the experts you are speaking to, so you have to be prepared to ask the silly question."
Some scientists experience another problem, especially at the beginning of their careers. "A mix of social and natural science makes it very difficult to slot into a university department, where you're expected to teach within a discipline," says Goulden. Her degree is in geophysics and her PhD combined social science with basic climate modelling.
Not only is it difficult to find the right department, if you don't fit into the traditional structure of science, it can also be difficult to win funding. "Research assessment favours disciplinary academics," says Hulme. The problem is that researchers tend to be judged by their top four publications, and the assessment panels are divided into disciplines. "I wouldn't want my research judged solely by social or natural scientists," Hulme says, "but I have to be referred to one panel or another."
According to Hulme, many climate scientists do not get the credit they deserve for research activities outside traditional paper publication. Sometimes called "knowledge transfer", this includes meetings with ministers and the like. "The Tyndall Centre has had a huge influence on the policy debate," he says, "but it's almost impossible to get recognition for that."
Boardman agrees that advising on policy is a thankless task. She should know - her team is looking at ways to reduce energy demand in the domestic housing sector. Boardman says you can never be sure that politicians are getting the message. "Sending a report to a civil servant is like throwing a ball over a brick wall. It doesn't come back and you don't know if anybody has caught it."
However, Alan Thorpe, chief executive of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the largest funder of UK climate change research, says that extra activities such as policy advice are taken into account with funding applications. And the good news is that right now there is plenty of cash in the pot (see Graphic). "It's a job-finders' market," says Cox. "The subject is high profile, so there is plenty of resource going into research."
Tim Jupp, a young mathematician at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, is one beneficiary of this. "If I'm honest, I've come to climate change because that's where the money is," he says. Of course, that's not the only reason. Jupp is fascinated by his research area, incorporating measurements of the amount of water vapour given off by vegetation and carbon from forest fires into climate models. "Any systems with feedback are interesting mathematically," he says.
For most researchers, it is no longer a question of whether there will be climate change, but of exactly what should be done about it. "The consensus amongst scientists is extraordinary," says Cox. And British climate change research has become a formidable, multi-faceted force. Researchers pursuing a career in this area have the opportunity to be at the cutting edge of science, and also shape society. "The agenda is still expanding so fast," Cox says. "It's tremendously exciting."
Case study
MIKE WALKDEN trained as a civil engineer at the University of Plymouth. In his PhD he designed breakwaters to withstand waves, and later worked on computer models of coastal erosion. Now Walkden studies the effects of sea level rise on coasts (see Diagram).
What led you to work on climate change?
I started by modelling coastal processes with Jim Hall at the University of Bristol. Engineering models tend to operate at small scales, over one wave or a single storm, but I was asked to develop a model of cliff erosion that could represent development over decades and incorporate human interventions like groynes and additions of sand. By chance, the Tyndall Centre was interested in the same stretch of the Norfolk coast we had modelled, so we got cash from them to dig into the impact of climate change.
What are you working on now?
The Tyndall Centre's "coastal simulator", which is a complex model showing how climate change could change the coastline over the next century. It brings together information from a variety of sources. The Hadley Centre gives us climate data, from which the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in Liverpool generates future waves; the University of Manchester predicts how the waves will arrive at the coast; I and my colleagues model coastal erosion and flood risk over the next century; then we pass our results to researchers at the University of Southampton and the University of East Anglia, who assess the impact on local communities and wildlife.
What's the next step?
We're trying to use virtual reality so people can see the predictions and their uncertainty easily without the need for technical graphs. Sea level rise creates a clear hazard for coastal communities and planners want to be told what will happen in the future, not a range of possibilities.
Case study
CLARE GOODESS is a veteran climate researcher. She has been working at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia for 25 years and is now a senior research associate. In the 1980s she helped assemble the first global temperature record of the last hundred years.
What was it like being among the first to recognise anthropogenic climate change?
The work was quite tedious really. I spent a lot of time in the Met Office archives. But the end product was very influential in relation to the growing recognition of global warming. I remember the disbelief from conference audiences when I presented the warming trend and tentatively suggested it might be related to human activity. There was one particularly uncomfortable meeting of the Royal Meteorological Society in London where there was fierce criticism of our work.
What are you working on now?
I take large-scale climate models and use statistics to extract information on specific sites so it can be used by people in industry. I'm a bridge between the climate modelling community and users of its findings. It's a challenging communication issue, especially as the models get more complex.
Is it difficult being a senior female scientist?
At my level, I look around and wonder where the women are. It's an added pressure, having to ensure you're taken seriously when you are the only woman in the room. People expect you to be a role model. I would advise young women who want to work on climate change to develop strong technical expertise as early as possible.
Training in a traditional discipline is best. Maths and physics are good for numerical modelling. Biology and economics are also excellent, but competition for jobs on the biological side is more intense. Geographers are well placed to grasp the breadth of the climate change issue, as are earth scientists. Follow it with an interdisciplinary postgraduate course like meteorology, oceanography or environmental change and management.
Where it's at
CLIMATE change researchers are found in many UK universities. Most research is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with some money from the European Commission and other research councils. The Environment Agency also spends several hundred thousand pounds a year on climate change research. These are the main institutions:
Named after the scientist who first measured the absorption of thermal radiation by carbon dioxide, this national centre for climate change research has joint funding from three research councils, and is sited in six partner universities. It employs the equivalent of 56 full-time scientists. www.tyndall.ac.uk
Set up in 1990, this centre now forms the top floor of the Met Office building in Exeter and is funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to study climate change and its implications. It employs around 150 scientists. www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/hadleycentre
A joint venture between the University of Southampton and NERC, which provides a national focus for UK oceanography. Employs 520 scientists. www.noc.soton.ac.uk
A NERC-funded institute with a base in Cambridge and five Antarctic research stations, with a strong focus on climate change. It employs between 150 and 200 scientists. www.antarctica.ac.uk
A NERC-funded centre for land and freshwater environment sciences. Climate change is a cross-cutting theme, with major research programmes on the ecological impacts and effects of vegetation on the climate system. It is currently being restructured, downsizing to four sites - Wallingford, Lancaster, Edinburgh and Bangor, with 400 scientists. www.ceh.ac.uk
On the record
Why work in climate change?
"Working on climate change is such a buzz. Every month there's a new extreme somewhere."
John Turner, British Antarctic Survey
"It's really exciting to take a physical science and apply it to something of immediate relevance to mankind."
Keith Shine, professor of meteorology, University of Reading
"Climate change science is an urgent search for solutions to the biggest global threat to the human race. Sure beats selling insurance."
Barbara Young, chief executive, Environment Agency

Monday, First Week of Advent
"She's coming," the farmer said to the owl.
"Oh, what shall I, what shall I do?
Shall I bow when she comes?
Shall I twiddle my thumbs?"
The owl asked, "Who?"
"The Queen, the Queen, the royal Queen—
She'll pass the farm today.
Shall I salute?" he asked the horse.
The horse said, "Nay."
"Shall I give her a gift?" he asked the wren.
"A lovely memento for her to keep?
An egg or a peach or an ear of corn?"
The wren said, "Cheap."
"But should I curtsy or should I cheer?
Oh, here's her carriage now.
What should I do?" he asked the dog.
The dog said, "Bow."
And so he did, and so she passed,
Oh, tra la la la la,
"She smiled, she did!" he told the sheep.
The sheep said, "Bah."
-- Shel Silverstein
The King is coming. How can we get ready? What should we do? What can we give him when he arrives? How can we act to honor his majesty?
We spend a lot of time focusing on the day of Christmas in our culture and relatively little preparing ourselves for this magnificent arrival. Maybe this is why. Maybe we don't know how to deal with the anticipation of the King's coming. A cynic might say that in our age of instant gratification, we don't want the King to be coming –we want him to be here now! But maybe, like the farmer in Silverstein's poem, we don't know how to deal with the approach of a human being who seems to have a greater link to the divine ether than our problems here on earth.
Someone enamored of democracy might say that Americans, and indeed many other peoples, are too intelligent for a King, too advanced to think that there might be someone whose birth and very fiber of being sets them apart from the common throng. But we Americans choose Kings all the time. We just aren't very good at it.
There was once a young man who was born in a small town and traveled to a bigger city in order to claim what he believed was his rightful place as King. He called himself "King James" proclaimed that "we are all witnesses" to his glory, and spread his arms wide like Jesus getting stretched out on the cross before his games. He said he would take his people to the Promised Land. But being King got a little tough, and he bolted at the first opportunity. Whoops. Wrong King.
Being a King is hard. Just ask LeBron James. Be careful which King you follow, or you might end up wandering in the desert a lot longer than you have to.
Fortunately, the King we're waiting for in Advent is worth the anticipation, worth every bit of the hype –he's not going to try and sell us out when we need him the most. In later ages, Kings were crowned because of their birth, because of who their father and mother were, and our King lays claim to his kingdom on that basis as well. But in the beginning of kingship, Kings were crowned because they'd fought for their kingdom –because they either claimed it by force, or because they were willing to fight in the thick of battle in order to preserve the peace of their Kingdom. And our King is willing to fight for us, too. Against the powers of death and Hell, against every temptation known to Man, up the rocky slope of Golgotha, lifted high on the Cross and laid low in the Tomb, our King fought and died for us –for his kingdom.
Being a King is hard.
But all of that sadness and darkness and gloom is in the future. For now, there are parades and triumphal marches and coronations to plan. There is a time to weep and a time to laugh, and now, thank God, is the time to laugh.
The King is coming.
Will you be ready?
-- Dylan Thayer '13
O Come, O Come Emmanuel!

By Jason A. email@example.com The Henry County Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring an effort to allow local residents to display their talents, in picture-perfect fashion. The county is holding a photography contest, featuring submissions of photographs taken at parks, activities and events promoted by the department. Kathy Hunt is the agency's program coordinator, and the organizer for the contest. She said one reason for the competition is to fill the county's brochures, calendars and web site with pictures by residents who have taken advantage of recreational outlets in the area. Hunt added that the department has another motive for scheduling the contest. "We're looking for pictures to put in our new facility at 99 Lake Dow Rd., in McDonough, at Heritage Park." Color, black-and-white and digital photos for the contest will be accepted in several categories, including sports and wildlife. Hunt emphasized that pictures taken at Panola Mountain State Park are not eligible for admission, as the park is not a county facility. She encouraged residents to submit photos taken by residents who visited county facilities as part of their Labor Day activities. Pictures submitted for the competition will not be returned, but photographers will retain copyright and ownership status for their original work. The entry deadline for the contest is Nov. 3. A complete list of rules, as well as an entry form for the contest, are available at www.hcprd.org. For more information, call the Parks and Recreation Department, at (770) 288-7312.

Jimmy Kirunda, the captain of the Uganda Cranes side to have gone farthest into the Nations Cup in 1978 tells New Vision's James Bakama that for the October 13 clash, the Cranes team have to be solid.
It's been quite a while since I wrote about the Cranes. My last pieces were in the build-up to the decisive 2011 Uganda versus Kenya match which we failed to win to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations final tournament.
We again find ourselves in an almost similar situation, only that the task at hand this time could be more demanding.
We are not only facing African champions Zambia, but also have a deficit to overturn. But like I have always said, there is no team that can't be beaten.
We only have to get our act right and we shall be in South Africa. For starters, we have to be solid in all departments. Our first target should be erasing Chipolopolo's lead.
The worst that could happen is letting the visitors stretch their lead. Tactical organization will therefore be crucial.
The Zambians have always been good ball players, who on a good day tear any team to shreds.
But if they come against organized opposition, they can also be outwitted. In our time, Polly Ouma was one man the Zambians always never wanted to face.
Strikers found beating goalkeeper Emmanuel Mwape almost impossible but not Ouma. The likes of Emma Okwi or Moses Oloya could likewise be a thorn in the Chipolopolo defence.
As African champions, they could be under even more pressure than us. So, they will most likely also go for an attacking game.
One of the areas to carefully watch will be Zambia's striking line. They have always had good strikers. In our days there was the dreaded three Cs: Godfrey Chitalu, Benard Chanda and Alex Chola.
This trio was simply lethal. They could beat any defence line.
I remember them tearing past our backline, which I must say was one of the best on the continent at the time.
Chitalu, nicknamed Ycer after the best dry cell in Zambia at the time, once singlehandedly dribbled past seven Tanzanian players before scoring.
In many ways Chris Katongo's finishing reminds me Chitalu. Our current defenders are good. But that alone won't be enough they will also be need to be extra alert.
Any lapses in concentration will be punished. The first leg in Ndola was a classic example.
One slight loss of concentration was ruthlessly punished with a goal. We just can't afford such sloppiness this time.
Cranes played Ghana in the 1978 Africa Cup of Nations final but fell short with a 2-0 against the West Africans.

Then-defense secretary Robert M. Gates stopped bagging his leaves when he moved into a small Washington military enclave in 2007. His next-door neighbor was Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, who had a chef, a personal valet and — not lost on Gates — troops to tend his property.
Gates may have been the civilian leader of the world's largest military, but his position did not come with household staff. So, he often joked, he disposed of his leaves by blowing them onto the chairman's lawn. "I was often jealous because he had four enlisted people helping him all the time," Gates said in response to a question after a speech Thursday. He wryly complained to his wife that "Mullen's got guys over there who are fixing meals for him, and I'm shoving something into the microwave. And I'm his boss."
Of the many facts that have come to light in the scandal involving former CIA director David H. Petraeus, among the most curious was that during his days as a four-star general, he was once escorted by 28 police motorcycles as he traveled from his Central Command headquarters in Tampa to socialite Jill Kelley's mansion. Although most of his trips did not involve a presidential-size convoy, the scandal has prompted new scrutiny of the imperial trappings that come with a senior general's lifestyle.
RELATED: How Many Generals Does It Take to Screw ... Up a Budget?
The commanders who lead the nation's military services and those who oversee troops around the world enjoy an array of perquisites befitting a billionaire, including executive jets, palatial homes, drivers, security guards and aides to carry their bags, press their uniforms and track their schedules in 10-minute increments. Their food is prepared by gourmet chefs. If they want music with their dinner parties, their staff can summon a string quartet or a choir.
The elite regional commanders who preside over large swaths of the planet don't have to settle for Gulfstream V jets. They each have a C-40, the military equivalent of a Boeing 737, some of which are configured with beds.
Since Petraeus's resignation, many have strained to understand how such a celebrated general could have behaved so badly. Some have speculated that an exhausting decade of war impaired his judgment. Others wondered if Petraeus was never the Boy Scout he appeared to be. But Gates, who still possesses a modest Kansan's bemusement at Washington excess, has floated another theory. "There is something about a sense of entitlement and of having great power that skews people's judgment," Gates said last week.
Among the Army's general officer corps, however, there is little support for Gates's hypothesis. "I love the man. I am his biggest supporter. But I strongly disagree," said retired Gen. Peter Chiarelli, who served as Gates's senior military assistant. "I find it concerning that he and others are not focusing on the effect on our guys of fighting wars for 11 years. No one was at it longer than Petraeus."
Other veteran commanders concurred with Gates. David Barno, a retired three-star general who commanded U.S. troops in Afghanistan, warned in an interview that the environment in which the top brass lives has the potential "to become corrosive over time upon how they live their life." "You can become completely disconnected from the way people live in the regular world — and even from the modest lifestyle of others in the military," Barno said. "When that happens, it's not necessarily healthy either for the military or the country."
Although American generals have long enjoyed many perks — in World War II and in Vietnam, some dined on china set atop linen tablecloths — the amenities afforded to today's military leaders are more lavish than anyone else in government enjoys, save for the president.
The benefits have not generated much attention among a public that has long revered its generals as protectors of the nation and moral beacons. And no general has been revered more than Petraeus, a fact that Mullen remarked upon at his retirement ceremony.
He joked that a woman approached him at a dinner party, eyed his medals and asked him if he was somebody important. "I'm the president's top military adviser," he replied. "Oh my goodness, General Petraeus," the woman said to Mullen. "I'm so sorry. I just didn't recognize you."
Petraeus cultivated his fame by grasping, before most of his comrades, how the narrative of modern warfare is shaped not just on the battlefield but among the chattering class back home. He invited book authors to accompany him, granted frequent interviews to journalists, fostered close relationships with Washington think tanks and embraced political leaders on both sides of the aisle. When President George W. Bush needed a savior for the foundering war in Iraq, he turned to Petraeus, making him the frontman for the troop surge in Baghdad.
In the first six months of 2007, Bush mentioned Petraeus's name 150 times in speeches. Petraeus did not disappoint. Violence dropped in Iraq after he became the top commander there. He returned home as a celebrity. In 2009, he was asked to flip the coin at the Super Bowl.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
Trick Flow Box Intakes For Mustangs
Trick Flow reinvents the box intake in a big way for big-powered 347s and Windsors
About 10 minutes after fuel-injected 5.0 Mustangs rocketed intopopularity in the late '80s, box intake manifolds appeared. These wereupper intake boxes that roughly resembled an elongated shoe box or loafof bread and were bolted to the existing lower intake. Some weredesigned for the stock oval-runner lower intake, while others mated tothe "staggered-round" GT-40 lower.
The idea behind these intakes was simple. By reducing the long upperintake runners to mere stubs and fitting a blimp-hangar-like plenumarea, screaming top-end power would result. True, their designersrealized, torque and midrange power would be greatly reduced, but withunheard-of top-end power, the "box uppers" would make up for theirmissing torque with gears and top-end horsepower. These intakes werenever designed for bolt-on-type cars that absolutely require runnerlength for reasonable torque in the real world. In fact, theirapplication was mainly intended for supercharged drag engines whereblower boost would make the day starting in the midrange.
You'll notice you don't see many of these early box intakes aroundtoday. We could be trite and say they didn't work, but that's only ahalf-truth. The thinking behind the box intakes was sound, but theexecution always left insufficient runner length for the street. Theresult was a near total loss of low-end torque, enough so that thetop-end power bonanza wasn't enough to make up the lack of low-endpower.
Horse Sense: Of course, we know about TrickFlow's cylinder heads and intake manifolds, but the company has alsoexpanded into several other product lines. These include intake spacers,valve covers, cams, diff girdles, 4.6 intake elbows, and even nitrouskits.
Keep in mind the early box intakes were designed for the stock or GT-40intakes. The straw-runnered stocker was a nonstarter in this category,and even the otherwise great GT-40 didn't have large enough or straightenough runners to be a top-end star. But that's what was available inthe early years.
Furthermore, enthusiasts insisted on bolting the boxes to bolt-on carsor mildly boosted street drivers with predictable results. The badmouthing from these ill-advised, dissatisfied street stormers didn'thelp. Yet another factor was the lack of cubic inches. Early on, the 5.0phenomenon was a 302ci party. The 347s were still in the future, andwhile a few souls had transplanted 351 Windsors into their Foxes, thewidespread use of 392s and 408s was also years away.
One place where the box intakes did well was on forced-induction cars atthe dragstrip. There the combination of steep final drive gears, a dutycycle comprised solely of high rpm, and--most importantly--a bigsupercharger positively cramming the intake full of air ensuredsparkling top-end performance and enough midrange to make a go of it.
As the photos show, a new box intake from the airflow experts at TrickFlow Specialties has reached market. Again, the idea is to promotehigh-rpm horsepower on big-inch 347 and Windsor-based strokers, but thistime more development has gone into the runner length, the plenum shape,and other details to make this a superior performer.

Election Poll: Obama vs. Romney -- Who Will the Market Like More?
Below are two more election polls that should help us get a better understanding of how market participants are approaching the November election and its outcome. The first simply asks which candidate will win the November Presidential election -- Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. The second poll asks which candidate will the stock market perform better under over the next four years. While a lot of investors seem to think Mitt Romney would be the better choice, remember that the market has performed very well under President Obama over the last three and a half years. You can chalk up the strong performance to any variety of reasons, but the numbers and the numbers.
With that, we'll get the poll going. Please take part in both polls below. We'll report back with the results tomorrow. Thanks for participating!

I agree with you about Yosemite, but I was really impressed by the Sequoias nearby.

I still love driving into the Yosemite Valley, but I usually come in from the south and the change from forest to open area lined with rock going straight up always makes me smile. I hope you made it up to Sequoia NP, it's definitely worth the extra time to see those trees. Seriously, they're pretty incredible.

May 6, 2012 - San Francisco was the next stop. And what a stop it was... We had roughly 2 full days to poke around and we saw plenty. First stop was Pier 23, where we pulled up as we rolled into the city and parked the bikes casually on the sidewalk, next to a few shiny (and loud) Harleys. Not something we would entertain in other circumstances, but we were hot and tired and needed to get off the bike.
Looking around for a motel was an interesting challenge. A few tries later, we ended up a block away from San Francisco city hall in a pretty decent place, although it had its moments. From there, everything was within walking distance, except Golden Gate bridge.
One of the first stops was the Museum of Modern Art, always a treat.
Even the foyer provides rich photographic fodder.
The entryway.
The MOMA covers off a range of topics. One of the themes was the "Whole Earth Catalogue" movement and the alternative ideas therein to make the world a better place. From it, some interesting work persisted into current sustainable living models, such as this fully automated sun-activated residential concept.
The MOMA's paintings are still the most enjoyable aspect of the whole experience.
Next stop was Golden Gate bridge. Quite interesting and although I'd crossed it in the past, this was the first time I actually spent some time looking at it.
We had a few excellent meals, most notably at Modern Thai on Polk street, a very lively corridor right near the hotel.
Next stop is Death Valley and Las Vegas, where we are going to take a breather and hang for a few days. The pace of travel has been high and we want to start slowing down.
Edit: I updated the slideshows page as well if you wanted to see more pictures.

Good report, keep them coming, you'll be glad when you have it to look over after the ride. My wife and I just got back from seeing many of the same places on a different kind of boxer. Loved it all including having fellow inmates ride along vicariously. Thanks for taking the time to post your adventure, Tom.

May 10, 2012 - From San Francisco, we went to Big Pine, CA, as a first stop to Death Valley and Vegas. Between Big Pine and Lone Pine, Lone Pine is the place to stay, as Big Pine is a wide spot on the road with no functioning restaurants, three gas stations and a convenience store. We bought some food in the convenience store and later Jan went back to buy a frozen pizza, in the hope we had a microwave in the room.
The motel owner very kindly warmed the thing up in her oven. The next day was a leisurely ride to Death Valley and Vegas. I'd never dropped into Death Valley from Lone Pine so this was a nice change from the Ridgecrest/Trona or Vegas routes. Gradually the temperature increased as we descended.
There were a few new lookout points as well along the way.
We didn't do a whole lot in Death Valley except ride to Furnance Creek, flee into the restaurant and order lunch. After quaffing five glasses of water, I felt human again. A few days ago we were freezing on Sonora Pass and now we were faced with the opposite extreme. This ride ranked an 8 out of 10 in terms of heat, runner up to riding along the Dead Sea in summer time on the Jordanian side and crossing the desert in Iran mid-summer. In Iran my handlebar grip glue let go and the grips spun around. Made it challenging to keep the speed up...
We skipped Dante's View but instead circled through Artist's Drive.
Vegas is just Vegas. Not much changes except the levels of collective insanity seem to increase every time I come here. There is not much here but people acting out of character, or worse, people in character. It's a cheapish place to cool our heels for a few days, catch up on websites, emails and to-do lists. We've discovered that some things in the world do get better, such as McDonalds coffee, now certainly better than Starbucks, especially the lattés. Since I wanted to make sure Jan would get a taste of America true and proper, we went off to Denny's, only to be disappointed. They now have healthy "build your meal" choices and lean cuisine. We had an excellent fish-based meal the other night and will be back for more. The portion sizes are also much more reasonable versus the mountains of food you get elsewhere.
The first time I stayed in Vegas, in 1982, we stayed at Circus Circus, then a novelty, now an also-ran casino and hotel. Still, the rooms are large and very well appointed, so it was an easy choice given the prices are very reasonable.
The Bellagio is the new darling in Vegas, despite the other and newer Wynn developments.
Next we're off to Grand Canyon and beyond.

May 14, 2012 - Part of our ride from Las Vegas ran over Route 66, which was amusing in the usual tacky tourist sense. The ride was pleasant though. The original plan was to ride to Flagstaff and cut up from there, but we ended up in Williams, AZ, a very friendly place with loads of cheap motels and one crazy Greek restaurant owner.
My bike developed a weird ailment in that it decided to leak oil from the filter housing cover. I fixed it, twice, and now it seems ok. Another fix that was needed was replacing a U bolt on the side stand as yours truly had a tendency to scrape the side stand on hwy 120 coming out of Yosemite. Some of the best twisties in the world, five miles of nothing but hairpins.
Grand Canyon was very nice this time of year. Sunny, but not too warm. It was a bit hazy this time around. When I was here in November 2010, it was cold and crisp, which was better for photography. I shot all the Grand Canyon pictures with the Canon S95. There are a few more here.
We camped at the last campground before heading out the Eastern exit of Grand Canyon. It was very quiet at night, with the Milky Way out in full bloom. I was fully intent on getting up at the crack of dawn to take sunrise pictures, but the first time I peeked out of my sleeping bag it was just before 7 am.
If you want a super-sized picture from Grand Canyon, click hereto download it.
From Grand Canyon, we headed towards Zion National park in Utah. On the way, we came through Marble Canyon, which was a nice surprise as we'd been a bit sloppy planning our route. However, we're in a part of the world where it's hard to find a road you don't thoroughly enjoy.
We stopped in Vermillion, just past Marble Canyon for lunch and then crossed the valley floor. The shot below looks back at where we came from.
Mt. Carmel was the stop for the night, from where we will start a leisurely ride along a lot of the national parks in Utah, starting with Zion National Park.

May 16, 2012 - Zion National Park was a surprise in the most positive sense. It was much more of an "in-scene" experience versus the gaping impressive hole that is Grand Canyon. You really are among the rocks. You can get off the bike and touch them and be part of it all for a brief moment in time. A nice touch was that the road was red, instead of black asphalt.
We stopped just about everywhere you were allowed to and the camera got a workout. Again we were there mid-day, so the light was too harsh and I can only imagine what it would be like if sunset pictures were an option.
Zion doesn't have single must-see pieces but rather an uninterrupted stream of new small surprises.
After Zion, we ended up in Panguitch, UT. Unwittingly, we had dinner at the Cowboy's Smoke House Restaurant, apparently an institution in the BBQ world. The place was filled with tourists and a very sullen guitar player who cranked out tunes that left us guessing as to whether we had ended up in a new version of the Milgram experiment.
On May 17th we went through Bryce Canyon which was certainly the prettiest of the three so far.
After hitting all the highlights, which took the better part of the day, we looked for a place with some decent coffee and were sorely disappointed. We're still convinced, after plenty of sampling, that McDonalds serves the best lattés. It's a bit like saying the Virgin Mary can be seen on stage at Crazy Horse, it's that unlikely, but if this is the result of the Liebeck v. McDonalds case, then they need to be applauded and we'll gladly bid adieu to Starbucks.
The travel routine is falling into place nicely. We've only been gone for roughly three weeks and have covered quite a bit. The next stop is Moab and Arches National Park, after which we'll head for Colorado and start poking around there for a while.

May 18, 2012 - The odometer clicked past 4,000 miles a day or so ago, a mental note made to check the valves on my machine. After Zion, we rode from Escalante all the way to Blanding, CO.
On the way from Escalante to Blanding we passed through some great riding areas. It's hard to find a bad road around here and eventually you give up trying to remember the best spots. Draw a big circle on the map in southeastern Utah and ride every road in sight is probably not too far off the mark.
In short order, we rode through Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Natural Bridges National Monument. Drifting through the ever changing scenery is a mesmerizing experience. The roads are picture perfect, well marked and, at least at this time of year, there is next to no traffic. Purring valve chatter from the old boxer engine completes the happy experience.
The Colorado river snakes through the countryside and I have lost count as to how many times we've crossed it now.
The bike in all its glory.
We ended up in Blanding, UT. The name says it all and we were happy to get out of there the next day. Moab and Arches National Park await.

May 19, 2012 - Moab was the destination of the day and luckily the ride went quickly and smoothly. By noon we'd rolled through Moab, chatted with a few locals interested in exactly how much gas the tanks held, and started on the ascent into Arches National Park.
Arches was spectacular. Without a doubt one of the highlights of the trip so far and fertile ground for countless pictures.
After we completed our ride through Arches, we went back to Moab to find a motel. Aside from finding most of them full, prices were such that we decided to bail on Moab and Utah altogether and ride into Colorado. In Naturita we found a room in the only motel in town. While checking in, one of the people in the lobby asked me if I knew Jeff so and so, as he'd apparently moved to Vancouver a few decades ago. It was that kind of town.
Naturita is one of those towns that died long ago but refuses to let go. A slew of dilapidated main street houses and businesses, most of them shuttered, make for a dreary backdrop to the mountains. One bar was being kept alive by an enterprising expatriate from Denver. She'd organized a Reggae band for the night, which sounded incredulous to us. We went and had a look a few hours later and encountered young and old dancing a set of random styles to poorly played popular songs. With a few local Goths thrown in, it was a bit warped in a downscale Pulp Fiction sort of way.

Arches was the setting for a rather influential book called Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. His theme in this book is that to preserve these places, we need to forbid the building of roads giving easy access. Abbey himself didn't mind wrecking his new Ford bounding down unimproved dirt roads but others did so soon after the book was published, the place got good roads.
Still, the book is a good read in parts and it influenced a good many city folks that there is magic in the outdoor areas they would fear being left alone in.

May 21, 2012 - Yesterday we rode from Naturita to Fruita, CO. We had a relaxing ride with lots of nice scenery. From Fruita, we headed towards Aspen and beyond.
We ended up in Buena Vista and on the way passed by an observatory on hwy 65. The views were stunning and we were happy to have made the impromptu detour over 12 miles of dirt road.
Looking down onto Grand Mesa, you can see an endless set of long sweepers clinging to the mountain side and fleeing into the distance. It certainly is an area not to miss when riding through.
In our hotel in Buena Vista, we heard some chatter outside shortly after we got there. Poking out head outside our room, we saw two bikes parked next to ours, a KTM and a KLR. We chatted with the owners, who were local dirt riders. After a while we were convinced we needed to change our route for the next day and include some back roads and Cottonwood Pass. At 12,126 feet, one of the higher passes around.
Cottonwood Pass was a fantastic detour.
The ride up was a feast of long sweepers with not a single car or other vehicle in sight.
The other side of the pass is a gravel road all the way down.
Around every turn there are small lakes, tufts of beautiful forest, and scenic slopes.
We stopped in Gunnison for coffee and later battled the wind on I50 till we turned off at highway 550, also know as the Million Dollar highway. 550 is one of the "must do" rides in Colorado. At the end of it lies Durango, a small town with a vibrant history and an exquisite tourist district. At night we stumbled upon a Nepali restaurant, a nice change in speed at the end of a long day.

May 24, 2012 - Monument Valley was the prime target of the day. I'd been through it on a few occasions, but only once by motorcycle, so it was somewhat novel. Before we got there, we took a quick side trip to the Moki Dugway, billed as a scary, twisted, steep and gravelly road surface where you are virtually assured to get vertigo, especially when teetering on the edge as the bike plows through the gravel.
As we ascended to the top of the plateau, we were still awaiting the scary parts when suddenly the road turned from gravel to pavement. The views were breathtaking, but the scare factor is highly overrated. Nonetheless, the side trip was worth it. As we descended, a big 4x4 towing a trailer and a boat rumbled past us, despite the posted warning signs.
From atop the Moki Dugway, you can see Monument Valley.
Monument Valley seemed smaller than the last few times I went through it, but its beauty is still unmistakable.
We pushed on to Flagstaff, AZ, for the night. I wanted to get off the bike as I hadn't been feeling too well the last few days and I was looking forward to a riding pause. Tomorrow is a short hop to Scottsdale, AZ, where we will be staying with a friend of mine for a few days.

PrintND FAQ
What is PrintND?
PrintND is a print management system that helps the University control printing costs while providing all students with a print quota to help them with their academic printing needs.
What is the release station?
Near every PrintND printer is a computer referred to as the release station. You must log in to that computer using your NetID and password, select your document that you wish to print, and choose to release it. This provides security so that your document will not print until you are at the printer to pick it up. It also saves paper and toner if you accidentally queue something to print, because print jobs in the queue are purged after 6 hours if you haven't released them.
I am connected to the Internet, but I am unable to print to any PrintND printer. Am I missing something?
You must be connected to the ND-Secure, or the wired campus network to use PrintND printers on campus. Please review the Wireless Networks at Notre Dame support page for details on connecting to the ND network. Users connecting to the wired network connection will be able to use PrintND via ND-Secure after they authenticate to the zoned network. You must use a VPN connection when you print from any connection other than ND-Secure or Eduroam, such as ND-Guest or off-campus connections.
Where is the printer located for my residence hall?
Please refer to the Residence Hall Printer Location & Model Information support page.
Norton Antivirus won't let me install the PrintND software. How do I resolve this?
To install the new PrintND drivers, you will need to temporarily disable your Norton AV. Save your work and close any extra windows and programs you have open.
In the lower-right hand side of your screen (near your time/date, network info, and other taskbar icons), click the small arrow to display all of your icons. Right-click on your Norton icon and select "turn on silent mode" for an hour. Next, right-click Norton again and temporarily disable your AV protection. 15 minutes is enough for most machines to successfully install the Print@ND client.
Download the PrintND drivers and install as normal. If your previous installation failed, download a NEW copy of the drivers, and install the new copy.
Although your AV will automatically re-enable itself after the time frame you selected, we recommend right-clicking on the Norton icon a few more times to turn off silent mode and re-enable AV protection. If you have any further trouble with the PrintND installer, please give us a call.
I have old printer configurations from the old PrintND system. How do I get rid of them if they are no longer needed?
Installing the new PrintND drivers after noon August 6 will remove any old queues and drivers.
Can I print from my iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch?
You can print from your mobile devices by going to print.nd.edu. For more information about printing from mobile devices, click here.
The PrintND pop-up does not appear when I send a file to print via a Web browser. What can I do to make the pop-up appear?
To print from a Web browser, you have to allow pop-ups in your browser settings. Adding https://print2.cc.nd.edu to your list of trusted sites also would allow PrintND to be an exemption to allow pop-ups.
Does my print quota of 1,000 points reset each semester?
See http://oithelp.nd.edu/print/printnd/#adjustments. Allotted print quota resets each academic year.
I am a graduate student. When will I receive my additional quota?
Graduate students received their additional quota allocations the first week of September. If you are a graduate student and did not receive the additional 2,500 points of quota by September 15th, please call 574-631-8778.
How long do I have to release my print job?
All print jobs in the queue will be purged after 6 hours if you haven't released them.
Do I need to install the new PrintND software if I've used the system successfully in past years?
Yes. All of the printer queues and print drivers have changed to improve the print quality and performance of the system. To utilize those improvements you must use the new software, which can be found here after noon, August 6. Drivers downloaded before noon, August 6, may be the old printer drivers for last year.
Whom do I contact if the printer is out of paper, out of toner or broken?
Please contact Learning Spaces at (574) 631-8778 to report errors and notifications for PrintND printers.
Why did the quota change from "dollars" to "points"?
For a number of years, one of the most frequent student requests has been to show quota in "the number of points that I have remaining" instead of in "funny money" dollar values. OIT heard this complaint, and with the latest upgrade to the PrintND service, has been able to switch to allocating the quota by points available to print.
I'm an undergraduate student. My quota is 1000 points per semester, correct?
Undergraduate students receive a quota of 1000 points per semester. The additional 1000 points for the spring semester will be added in January to your quota points remaining from the fall semester.
I have a quota of 1000 points per semester. How much can I print with this?
The quota is expressed in terms of "points". With a quota of 1000 points, you can print 500 pages at 2 points per sheet of paper duplex (1000 impressions), or 500 pages with one page per sheet of paper simplex (500 impressions).
What are the specific charges for to my quota for printing?
Black and white printing, on black and white printers, is charged at 2 points per sheet of paper when printing 2-sided, and 2 points per sheet of paper when printing 1-sided. Color printing is much more expensive, and is charged at 12 points per sheet of paper when printing 2-sided, and 12 points per sheet of paper when printing 1-sided. Please remember, B&W printing done on a color printer is charged at the color printing rate.
I'm a graduate student. My quota should be larger than 1000 points, correct?
Graduate students receive a quota of 3500 points. The additional 2500 points will be added to your quota roughly 2 weeks into the fall semester, when the graduate schools have finished all of their student data entry.
I'm a Law School student. My quota should be larger than 1000 points, correct?
Law school students receive a quota of 4250 points. The additional 3250 points will be added to your quota roughly 2 weeks into the fall semester, when the graduate schools have finished all of their student data entry.
Last year I could print more than just 2000 points. Why did this change?
- The quota last year for undergraduates was 1500 pages, printed 2-sided. Quota was not reduced properly due to an error in the print management software configuration. We have corrected the configuration error.
- The undergraduate quota was set at 1000 points per semester after evaluating the actual printing experience from last year. This is the "90th percentile" print level. In other words, we expect that 90% of our undergraduates will not encounter quota issues with this print quota.
- OIT is monitoring the PrintND use to validate that the quota is set at the 90th percentile. Our goal is to provide students with print quota sufficient to meet their academic needs.
What if my quota isn't enough for me to print what I need for my classes?
There are several ways to reduce the volume that you print. OIT will be providing a series of printing conservation tips and tricks on the Help Desk web page, and will blog about them throughout the semester. We anticipate the tips and tricks section to be in place sometime in October.
How much does it cost to purchase additional printing quota?
Additional print quota can be purchased at a rate of $3.00 per 100 points from the OIT Learning Spaces group, located in 115 DeBartolo.
Can my professor request additional print quota for me, or for everyone in my class?
Professors can purchase additional quota for their classes, or for individual students, using their departmental accounts. Ask your professor to do this by having him/her contact the OIT Learning Spaces group at 1-8778.
How do I know what my current print quota is?
When you login to a release station, your remaining print quota is displayed, along with the quota that will be utilized for any active print jobs that you release.
Does printing quota ever expire?
- Your annual printing quota is for the academic year. It expires during August of each year, roughly 2 weeks before the start of the fall semester, and is refreshed at the start of the semester.
- Any quota you have purchased will not expire.
I was printing a document but the printer had a problem and the document didn't print correctly. Can I get a refund on the print quota that was charged?
If your document did not print correctly because of printer problems, you can have that quota refunded to your account by calling the OIT Learning Spaces Group at 1-8778 or visiting their office, located in 115 DeBartolo.
Why do I need to install a new set of PrintND drivers? Why can't I use the ones from last year?
As part of the upgrade to PrintND, OIT has simplified the structure of printing so that there is simply a black-and-white queue that works at all B&W printers, and a color queue that works for all color printers. To implement this structure, the print driver setup had to be modified, and thus must be reinstalled.
