This paper traces a narrative behind small wars research that has yet to be developed fully within the community yet demands attention: the role of the deployed intelligence analyst, billeted to support the command staff or a specific task force in theater with analysis and course of action recommendations. Focusing specifically on the threat finance analyst (a subset discipline with the intelligence analysis community), the author follows the history of threat finance analysis from the post-9/11 call for intelligence reform up through the creation and operation of the Iraq Threat Finance Cell and the Afghan Threat Finance Cell in Baghdad and Bagram/Kabul, respectively. The paper captures key bureaucratic and analytical challenges for the deployed threat finance analyst and the larger community of deployed all-source intelligence analysts as they continue to support operators within the small wars community.
In the wake of September 11, 2001, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) stood up an independent task force to investigate U.S. efforts to disrupt terrorist financing. The task force found that the U.S. national security community at the time was woefully unprepared to understand and attack adequately terrorist finance networks, noting among other failures the lack of coordination among the several national security agencies. Since then, there has been an exponential growth in the attention that the U.S. intelligence community has paid to global terrorist finance networks. Today all the major intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain a specific counter-threat finance mission, defined in this article as the identification and degradation of financial networks used by militant groups. The position of "threat finance analyst" is now a fixture among the bureaucracy of intelligence analysts.
While in many ways this growth has only compounded the problems that the CFR identified – specifically with regard to coordination among agencies – the creation of the Iraq Threat Finance Cell (ITFC) (2005 – 2010) and subsequently the Afghan Threat Finance Cell (ATFC) (2008 – present) represent, whether deliberately or not, the successful implementation of many of the task force's recommendations. These threat finance cells (TFCs) are interagency organizations, co-led by the Department of Defense and the Department of the Treasury (and in the case of the ATFC, headed by the Drug Enforcement Administration), wherein several U.S. national security agencies are represented through analysts deployed to combat zones and detailed to support the cells. The ITFC was headquartered in Baghdad with liaison officers spread throughout Iraq and the ATFC is currently headquartered in Kabul with similar liaison officers across Afghanistan.
This article begins with a brief history on the institutional development of the deployed threat finance analyst before providing a critical review of the unique combination of qualitative and quantitative methods that grew within the TFCs. Prior to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, never in such large numbers were civilian analysts (such as those within the TFCs) deployed to combat zones. The compressed distance between collections and analysis and analysis and operations created a new set of methodological opportunities and challenges for intelligence analysts – this article attempts to address critically those opportunities and challenges as experienced by threat finance analysts in the field.
To date Small Wars Journal has taken the lead in providing a forum for critical discourse on what works and what does not when COIN in the classroom transitions to COIN on the battlefield. This, I think we can all agree, has made the community of COIN practitioners more informed and better prepared for the next fight. But behind COIN outside the wire is COIN as practiced in spreadsheets, slide presentations and link charts on the FOBs across Iraq and Afghanistan. We too have our challenges in transitioning theory into practice, and while no doubt the narrative is less thrilling, the influence of deployed intelligence analysts and the viability (or lack thereof) of their course of action recommendations to command staff equally need to be captured in forums such as the Small Wars Journal for the very same reasons – to produce more informed, better prepared COIN analysts for their next deployment, wherever that may be.
The Creation of the TFCs
At around the same time the CFR report was published, the Bush Administration released the 2002 National Security Strategy (NSS), which equally recognized the significance of the counter-threat finance mission within the Global War on Terror (GWOT). The 2002 NSS provided added emphasis and visibility for targeting the financial networks of terrorists. "To defeat this threat [of terrorism]," the 2002 NSS reads, "we must make use of every tool in our arsenal – military power, better homeland defenses, law enforcement, intelligence, and vigorous efforts to cut off terrorist financing." Later the document goes into greater detail:
The United States will continue to work with our allies to disrupt the financing of terrorism. We will identify and block the sources of funding for terrorism, freeze the assets of terrorists and those who support them, deny terrorists access to the international financial system, protect legitimate charities from being abused by terrorists, and prevent the movement of terrorists' assets through alternative financial networks.
The 2002 NSS sparked significant restructuring within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Treasury (DoT) with respect to the war on terrorism in general and threat finance in particular. Within the DoD, the Special Operations Command (SOCOM) was named the lead coordination organization for GWOT, which included the military pursuit of terrorist finance networks. The DoT, whose counter-terrorism role until this time was mainly relegated to countering money laundering, created an entirely new organization within the department, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI), led by an undersecretary for intelligence. In the first few years following the 2002 NSS, DoD and the DoT would pursue their own objectives with minimal interaction between one another, but over time those two tracks would meet in an interagency endeavor known as the ITFC and later lead to the ATFC.
Institutionalizing Threat Finance Analysis
As the DoD's GWOT lead, SOCOM was specifically required to synchronize (among other priorities) "efforts across the military to finds ways to choke off funding to terrorists," according to Lieutenant General David Fridovich, an Army commander within the command at the time. Under this new role, the geographic commands were now required to submit to SOCOM their plans for executing GWOT's newly outlined priorities. While prior to the GWOT, counter-threat finance analysts existed in small, unorganized pockets across the geographic commands, SOCOM cemented the concept and ensured its continued development.
Meanwhile DoT was taking its own initiatives in meeting the challenge outlined in the 2002 NSS. The biggest development immediately following 9/11 that gave Treasury a direct authority in countering terrorist financing was President Bush's approval of Executive Order 13224, Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten To Commit, or Support Terrorism, which authorized the U.S. to seize the assets of terrorist groups and supporters of terrorist groups outside the U.S. Through E.O. 13224 the U.S. gained access to terrorist assets beyond its borders by forcing foreign bank cooperation (the U.S. threatened to block a foreign bank's access to U.S. markets and financial institutions if it did not cooperate with the U.S. directive).
In 2004 Treasury created the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) as an umbrella organization for consolidating the various units within the department that had been working on threat finance related issues (such as, for instance, the Office of Foreign Asset Control, which has direct responsibility for proposing E.O. 13224 recommendations to the president). A key office set up under the TFI was the Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA), responsible for supporting the TFI with "expert analysis and intelligence production on financial and other support networks for terrorist groups, proliferators, and other key national security threats." Today OIA serves as the home for most intelligence analysis within the DoT but is perhaps more widely known for becoming the primary human resource for Treasury's analytical support to the ITFC and the ATFC.
The Deployed Threat Finance Analyst
In late 2005, the National Security Council called for the creation of an interagency cell based in Baghdad with a mission to "enhance the collection, analysis, and dissemination of timely and relevant financial intelligence to combat the insurgency" – the Iraq Threat Finance Cell (ITFC). The ITFC would build off the success of an existing intelligence group within CENTCOM known as the Threat Finance Exploitation Unit (TFEU) and be co-led by a CENTCOM colonel and a DoT OIA civilian but critically, staffed by intelligence analysts not only from OIA and CENTCOM but from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and eventually agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the Secret Service, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Over the course of its roughly 5 year tenure in Iraq, the cell peaked at over 30 individuals and had three main priorities: increase the depth and breadth of intelligence collection on financial issues; process that intelligence to provide course of action recommendations to military commanders; and increase capacity with the Government of Iraq to handle counter-threat finance initiatives on its own.
By late 2008, U.S. national security priorities began to shift from Iraq to Afghanistan as the situation in the former improved while in the latter it became worse. What had been known as the "Other War" was now beginning to draw significant intelligence analysis resources from analysts rotating out – permanently – from Iraq. Gen. Petraeus at this time had moved from commander in Iraq to commander of CENTCOM writ large and saw as one of his priorities the establishment of a threat finance cell in Afghanistan akin to the ITFC. When he was asked at a House of Representatives hearing in April of 2009 to comment on how forces in Afghanistan were combating threat finance networks, he responded that the key would be getting the Afghan Threat Finance Cell set up because of the ITFC's success in Iraq. And in a hearing also in the House around that same time, Lt. Gen. Fridovich from SOCOM shared a similar perspective, noting that due to the successes of the ITFC – specifically the way in which the cell was able to fuse multiple forms of intelligence together for military operators – "we are now eagerly participating in the establishment of the Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell."
Unlike the ITFC, the ATFC would be led by a special agent within the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) – a nod to the fact that threat finance issues in Afghanistan were inextricably linked to the narcotics industry – with DoT and CENTCOM in deputy positions in charge of the intelligence and operations divisions, respectively. Further, the ATFC's guiding principle from the start would be a focus on capacity building with the Afghan government, a priority for the ITFC that came too late in the game. The ATFC continues to operate in Afghanistan today.
Analytical Challenges within the TFCs
To understand the methodological challenges facing analysts within the ITFC and ATFC, it is necessary to set the concept of the "deployed civilian intelligence analyst" within the context of Baghdad in 2006 when the ITFC began to hit its stride. As is now well documented, levels of violence in Iraq in 2006 forced a re-examination of U.S. strategy in the country under the auspices of the Iraq Study Group. Of the several recommendations within the group's final report, the section that would become the most famous focused on the need for significantly more troops in Iraq on a temporary basis – the so-called "surge."
While Small Wars Journal has dissected the myths and realities of the surge concept from just about every angle, the remaining piece of the puzzle that has yet to be addressed critically is the parallel (though less covered) call for a surge in analytical support. The influx of civilian intelligence analysts into Baghdad from 2007 onwards and into Bagram and Kandahar from 2009 onwards placed traditionally Beltway- or Tampa-based intelligence analysts much closer to intelligence collection efforts on the one hand and kinetic and non-kinetic military operations on the other, and as such these analysts found themselves in positions of much greater influence. With that increased influence came increased responsibility and accountability – to state it bluntly, briefing a series of slides to a flag officer was no longer an end in itself (the traditional metric of success); rather, it was the first step in a process that could very quickly lead to action. Concepts that to date had remained largely theoretically – from using social network analysis metrics to fracture an insurgent network to generating measures of effectiveness to determine post-operation success – began to be tested and to some degree, validated (or equally likely, rejected).
As it specifically regards the TFCs, these challenges can best be divided into three categories: intelligence collection; intelligence analysis; and course of action recommendation.
Challenges and gains in influencing intelligence collection
One of the unique benefits of the TFCs was the mixture of analysts with federal agents, the latter of which with significant previous interrogations experience. Particularly in the earlier stages of the wars, military interrogators had very little actual interrogation experience when they entered into Iraq or Afghanistan. Compounding the lack of experience was the weak detainee-to-interrogator ratio, meaning much of the potentially valuable information to be found in Baghdad or Bagram went unexploited.
Within the TFCs, an analyst could identify a detainee of interest and within 24-48 hours a TFC agent, a TFC interpreter, the analyst and the detainee would be in the booth together. Placing the analyst in the booth with the agent allowed for real-time course corrections in intelligence collection. Where under the traditional collection requirements process an analyst would need to submit a list of questions that the non-subject matter expert interrogator would then ask a detainee, under the TFC system the analyst re-directed the agent in real time to push the detainee on a previously unanticipated theme within the interrogation (e.g. an off-hand remark about the detainee complaining that his wages were not paid on time, which in itself could lead to a greater understanding of motivational vulnerabilities within a cell). Placing the analyst in the booth also provided him or her with an unprecedented window into local life – highly skewed but nevertheless valuable cultural intelligence.
An additional benefit was the ability for analysts to exert considerable influence over all types of intelligence collection – HUMINT, yes, but more importantly MASINT (measures and signature intelligence), SIGINT (signals intelligence) and IMINT (imagery intelligence) capabilities that advanced rapidly over the course of the wars. Leveraging these latter three platforms was often the difference in making TFC recommendations "actionable" – the ability to provide detail down to a level in which the analyst's work could easily be transitioned into an actual operation. Admittedly, TFC use of these "other" INTs (i.e. beyond HUMINT) was highly idiosyncratic – some analysts grasped the concepts and their potential applications very quickly, others seemed lost in the technical lexicon – and as such future development of the TFC model should consider practical training in these platforms.
The TFCs also proved to be particularly adept at document exploitation (DOCEX) – drawing value from media picked up in the field. For example, TFC agents accompanying U.S. troops on a hawala office raid would seize forensic data such as financial ledgers, which TFC analysts could then process in a matter of days due to in-house TFC interpreters/translators. Benjamin Bahney (who was detailed to the ITFC in 2008 and 2009 while at RAND) along with several of his RAND colleagues affirmed the value of DOCEX in their open source analysis of Al Qaeda financial ledgers. Their analysis shows how in-depth exploitation of financial data can increase our understanding of an organization's decision-making hierarchy and vulnerable sources of revenue and expenditure, but most importantly, Bahney et al. make a strong case for the relationship between an organization's financial health and its ability to conduct attacks – validation of the need for threat finance analysts as originally proposed by the CFR back in the wake of 9/11.
A clear intelligence challenge for threat finance analysts was in convincing traditional HUMINT collection requirement officers that detailed intelligence on insurgent processes was more (or at least equally) valuable than intelligence on individual personalities. With the advent of so-called "manhunting" within both Iraq and Afghanistan came an over-emphasis on collecting intelligence that focused on "actionable" information – names, physical descriptions, and living locations. While no doubt valuable for the targeting process (e.g. F3EA), a prerequisite to targeting the vulnerabilities within a network is, quite obviously, understanding how that network functions. Compounding the problem was the fact that most "systems-oriented" collection requirements focused on small arms smuggling or improvised explosive device (IED) development, not sources and methods of financial support. TFC analysts spent considerable effort – with mixed results – in submitting formal intelligence collection requirements and intelligence evaluations to reorient priorities toward financial processes and logistic chains (i.e. systems) that would ultimately allow analysts to target threat finance networks more efficiently.
Fusing quantitative and qualitative approaches
The TFCs broke new ground in testing and evaluating at the time largely theoretical approaches to analyzing insurgent networks. Traditional intelligence analysis in Iraq and Afghanistan was highly qualitative and loosely structured: analysts read through raw intelligence on a given topic in order to author an intelligence assessment, build a brief or create a target package. Traditional analysts may have been familiar with graphical tools like i2's Analyst Notebook (an intelligence community staple) but only as a way to database information visually. A vocal but small community within the TFCs with more quantitative backgrounds pushed the cells to incorporate new methods in social network analysis (SNA), multi-objective decision analysis (MODA), and influence network modeling (INM), with varying levels of success.
Social network analysis (SNA) became the preferred method for identifying network vulnerabilities – whether those networks were based on individual relationships or the flow of financial sources within an illicit organization. Metrics like "betweenness centrality" or "degree centrality" indicated individuals that served as bridges between cells or individuals deeply connected within a cell, each of which promoted discussions on associated targeting philosophies (do we target for information, i.e. intelligence collection, or target for removal, i.e. capture?). Measures of connectivity and flow were, somewhat controversially, used to forecast the extent of network fracture and reduction of available cash that would follow should a node be removed (e.g. an individual or a front company).
Inserting multi-objective decision analysis (MODA) techniques into daily intelligence analysis was perhaps the most successful application of quantitative methods within the TFCs. Leveraging private sector methods for assessing alternative decision paths (e.g. which product is more marketable, A, B or C?), TFC analysts designed a series of explicit hierarchies or trees in order to, for instance, prioritize financial targets within an insurgent group or prioritize hawala offices within an informal money exchange network. By explicitly defining "importance" as a function, for instance, of fund-raising success, accounting knowledge, laundering abilities, etc., and evaluating each target across these categories via a fixed scale (e.g. high, medium, low), positions taken by the TFC were defensible for their consistency and tractability (i.e. action officers could very easily see why one target or approach was deemed more significant than another).
Influence network modeling (INM) provided analysts with a means to articulate their beliefs regarding how sensitive certain variables were to changes in other variables, and to extrapolate systematically the probability that possible future scenarios would follow from courses of action under consideration. For example, an assessment of corruption at a given border crossing in Afghanistan may start with the desired future scenario of a "successfully functioning border crossing," and be broken down into a series of successively more specific contributing uncertainties. The INM methodology might find that the "successfully functioning border crossing" is most sensitive to one such uncertainty – e.g. the wages of the Afghan Border Police – because they were so low as to not afford basic living standards for a typical family, providing a clear incentive for bribe-taking.
Ultimately all of these modeling approaches were successful because they offered an explicit, "structured analytic technique" to an otherwise largely qualitative problem (to borrow a phrase from veteran CIA analyst Richards Heuer). In other words, they were methods for making sense of messy problems. Though the development of these analytic methods no doubt predated the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the TFCs provided a welcoming laboratory environment to put them into practice in real-time, sensitizing the military and interagency communities to their value. However, validation of these previously unproven techniques was not without difficulty, suffering from the high operations tempo of being a deployed analyst with an action-oriented customer. Under ideal conditions, when a TFC analyst recommended a particular hawala office for kinetic targeting due, for instance, to a series of social network analysis metrics, following the kinetic operations (e.g. closure of the office), the analyst would confirm that the network's fracture, as hypothesized beforehand, actually occurred. In reality, this was almost never possible due to time constraints.
Generating course of action recommendations
For TFC analysts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the traditional intelligence assessment was only step one in a process that ultimately led to some form of action, kinetic or non-kinetic. In this sense TFC analysts found themselves closer to the operations side of the wars than previously experienced and as such were required to transition assessments into course of action recommendations. Two challenges quickly emerged in taking on this new responsibility: recognizing that inaction is as important as action; and when to recommend kinetic force over non-kinetic force (or the reverse). Both challenges were closely related.
The greatest debate within the TFCs revolved around course of action recommendations for hawalas – informal money exchange networks typical in the Middle East and South Asia. Quantitative and qualitative analyses would often point to hawala brokers as critical nodes within an insurgent group's network, which initially led to kinetic courses of action – quite literally, kicking down the door of the hawala office and shutting down the operation. Such an approach proved to be highly controversial and underscores a key point of friction between counter-threat finance analysis and traditional COIN analysis that has yet to be fully explored. While there might have been little doubt to a particular hawala office's involvement in an illicit network, the fact remained that the vast majority of the hawalador's business was likely legitimate and relied upon by the region's populace. Shutting down a hawala node may temporarily degrade the financial network of an insurgent group (good) but at the cost of upsetting an entire village (bad).
In terms of non-kinetic operations, the TFCs tended to focus heavily on E.O. 13224, the aforementioned executive order that allowed the U.S. to seize the assets of terrorist and/or insurgent groups. Reliance on E.O. 13224 was a natural extension of the TFCs' institutional connection to the DoT, but the value of an E.O. 13224 designation continues to be debated. Specifically, E.O. 13224's "punch" is relegated to militant groups (and their supporters) that use formal channels of banking. Designating an insurgent group that draws most of its financing from informal taxes on the populace and/or local businesses (e.g. narcotics in Afghanistan) would not result in the ultimate aim of the executive order – to recover significant quantities of cash and therefore degrade the group's financial operations.
Proponents of E.O. 13224 will claim that there is secondary value in the "name and shame" association of being designated, but this too is questionable. Insurgent groups derive a component of their legitimacy from the level of importance the enemy places on their existence. When in 2009 the U.S. government designated Kata'ib Hizballah under E.O. 13224, the group was described in the State Department's press release as "a radical Shia Islamist group with an anti-Western establishment and jihadist ideology…responsible for numerous violent terrorist attacks since 2007, including improvised explosive device bombings, rocket propelled grenade attacks, and sniper operations." Such a statement might sound "shameful" to a U.S. citizen but to an Iraqi it might resonate loudly and actually increase the group's local legitimacy.
The imperative to deploy civilian analysts to combat zones is quickly diminishing. The mistake at risk is to assume the concept of the TFC is equally becoming irrelevant as the U.S. national security community looks beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. Though the TFCs represent a fraction of the deployed civilian analyst population, within that fraction great progress has been made in influencing intelligence collections, in fusing quantitative and qualitative methods for solving complex, multifaceted problems, and in becoming more active in recommending courses of action on the battlefield. While the battlefield will change – perhaps, for instance, to drug cartels in Latin America, or insurgent groups in North Africa – the concept of a small, forward-deployed interagency cell that on an operational level combines analysts with agents, collectors and interpreters, and on an analytic level combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, is a concept worth replicating across the spectrum of U.S. national security challenges. This article begins to make the case for that replication by unfolding the role (and significance) of the deployed threat finance analyst to date. The next steps in evaluating the concept of the deployed civilian analyst are threefold:
First, to capture more completely the advances of the TFCs so that they may be replicated. How exactly can an analyst use influence network modeling or multi-objective decision analysis in his or her daily routine? How exactly does one evaluate the costs and benefits of recommending an individual as a target for capture as opposed to a target for collection?
Second, to dig deeper into the application of quantitative methods with an aim for assessing the validity of these approaches. Can we truly predict network fracture via social network analysis algorithms? What are some of the assumptions of quantitative approaches that military commanders may be unwilling to accept?
Third, to widen the aperture. While the TFCs represent a convenient microcosm for studying both the intellectual and bureaucratic challenges of deploying analysts to a combat zone, particularly against a subject matter focus of increasing importance, the TFCs were but a part of a much larger community centered in Baghdad, Bagram, Kabul and Kandahar. Capturing the successes and failures of IED analysts as they built and targeted logistic networks of insurgent groups in Iraq or the successes and failures of command and control (C2) analysts as they struggled to identify key leaders within a sea of shadow governors in Afghanistan are all equally critical.
All in all capturing the challenges and institutionalizing the successful approaches associated with analysts in combat zones will lead to better, more informed analysts overall, whether in CONUS or OCONUS, and therefore ultimately lead to more informed operators and operations, wherever they may be.

CCTV Footage Shows Terrorise Hero Shopkeeper Snatching Gun From Robber
This is the incredible moment a heroic shopkeeper threatened at gunpoint stood up to a robber and disarmed him, captured in stunning CCTV footage.
Hunar Mohammed was doing his usual day job behind the till at a store in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, when a man came in and asked to purchase booze and cigarettes.
But as the 37-year-old packed up the goods on Saturday night, the thug pulled out a gun and demanded money from the till.
Despite his life being at risk, the brave Mohammed grabbed the weapon and chased him out the store.
The weapon turned out to be a replica, which the shopkeeper, from Sulaymaniyah in Kurdistan, who came to the UK in 2010, was unaware of.
Speaking after the incident, he said: "It's the first time this has ever happened in my life but I wasn't that scared as everyone has guns in my country that they keep for security.
The shopkeeper has expressed his relief at having CCTV in the shop in order to aid the police in catching the criminal responsible. Having high quality CCTV can both provide evidence and even deter criminals from attempting such crimes in the first place.

Marc Warren will play with world No 1 Rory McIlroy for only the second time in his life in Dubai today – and the circumstances are certainly different.
Warren remembers being paired with McIlroy at Walton Heath in a US Open qualifier. "I think he was about four at the time," joked the Scot.
It was actually 2008 and the 19-year-old McIlroy was already destined for greatness, but both failed to get through to Torrey Pines – scene of Tiger Woods' last major victory – that day.
Now the duo, separated by 188 places on the rankings, are tied for the halfway lead with world No 2 Luke Donald at the DP World Tour Championship. A massive first prize of almost £840,000 is up for grabs and while it could be McIlroy's fifth victory of the season or Donald's fourth – and second in a row – former World Cup winner Warren is hoping to end more than five years without a title.
"Everyone knew from day one that Rory was special and I'm really looking forward to it," said the 31-year-old after outscoring 2001 Walker Cup team-mate Donald by one with his second round of 67.
That may have just delayed a head-to-head clash between golf's current top two for 24 hours, but Warren takes great heart from how he performed.
"Little things like that, it does wonders for your confidence," he added. "It's going to be a great weekend. The atmosphere is buzzing already so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like tomorrow and Sunday as well.
"It's nice to be the Scot with the Englishman and the Northern Irishman. It's a high-quality leaderboard and doesn't get any better in the world really." McIlroy also managed a 67 after fighting with what he thinks was a touch of sunstroke following his opening 66.
"When I came off the course I had a really sore head and fever," he said. "I just took painkillers and Caroline (girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki) squeezed about five lemons into a glass and I took that.
"I had some sort of vitamin and mineral drink too. It made me a feel a little bit better, but with the anti-doping and all that we can't really take much. I'm not feeling great again now, the sun's taking it out of me a bit."
Only a stroke behind the three leaders are South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace, with Richie Ramsay also in contention with two rounds to go on nine-under after his second-day 68.
Spanish Ryder Cup star Sergio Garcia equalled the course record of 64 with a mind-blowing round of two eagles, nine birdies, only four pars – none of them on the back nine – two bogeys and a triple-bogey 7.

Advancing health through science, education and medicine
Written by Janet Walberg Rankin, Ph.D., FACSM
Who hasn't been confused by conflicting reports about what to eat? Let's take a look at recent scientific evidence to clear up five very common nutrition myths.
Myth 1: Calcium will guarantee strong bones. Most adults should consume between 1000-1300 mg of calcium per day in order to promote good health, including bone health. However, even this level of calcium intake should not be considered an insurance policy against bone loss. Exercise, hormones and vitamin D are major contributors to bone health. Some believe that most people don't need to worry about vitamin D because our skin naturally produces it after sun exposure. However, recent research broke this myth wide open.
Growing evidence of the importance of vitamin D led some scientists to propose that we triple the previously recommended 400 IU (international unit) daily amount of vitamin D. Experts at the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently took on this volatile topic to develop a consensus. In Dec. 2010, the IOM report on vitamin D and calcium bumped the recommended vitamin D intake to 600 IU per day for children and adults and up to 800 IU per day for those over 71 years. Oversupplementing, defined as an intake greater than 4000 IU, can damage kidneys and contribute to kidney stones, so experts caution against consuming too much calcium.
Myth 2: Low-carb diets are the best for weight loss. Several large-scale studies have compared popular weight loss diets head-to-head, and none of the diets emerged as the clear winner. This may be partly due to the fact that although people adhere carefully to the restrictions initially, they digress toward old eating habits over time. The boring conclusion is that the people who adhere most closely to the diet recommendations are most successful in their weight loss, regardless of which diet they follow.
When health factors other than weight loss are measured, most studies report the greatest reduction in blood triglycerides for low-carb diets and the greatest reduction in blood cholesterol levels for low-fat diets. Although my professional opinion holds to a low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains as the best for weight loss, I would consider agreeing to a low-carb diet for someone who prefers this, as long as they agree to careful monitoring of their micronutrient intake and blood cholesterol levels.
Myth 3: Water is just as good as a sports drink for athletes. This myth needs clarification. Although water is a good hydrator for most people under most conditions, athletes are anything but typical. Highly competitive athletes may experience significant reduction of glycogen stores and dehydration during an intense, prolonged competition or workout. Sports drinks provide carbohydrate as well as the electrolytes and fluid that replenish critical energy reserves and delay fatigue. I believe if exercise is less than an hour, or of only moderate intensity, water is sufficient. High-intensity, longer performance may be improved by regular consumption of a sports drink.
Myth 4: I eat only 1,200 calories per day, but I can't lose weight. Few people are good at estimating portion sizes of their food. This can cause them to underestimate their true calorie intake. For example, a USDA study found that the average baked potato is 2.5 times the defined serving size. So, using the food table calories for one potato may substantially underestimate actual intake. Alternatively, maybe you only ate 1,200 calories one day, but you splurged the next with 2,500 calories. It is difficult to accurately determine how many calories you should consume each day to lose weight (it's best to consult a dietitian), but you can get a rough estimate of your daily goal by multiplying your weight in kilograms by 35 and subtracting 500-600 calories.
Myth 5: Avoid coffee. This is my personal favorite myth, as I am rarely seen first thing in the morning without my coffee. Recent research does not vilify coffee; rather, it finds health benefits in consuming this brew. Coffee consumption has been associated in some research studies with lower risk of diabetes, stroke and Parkinson's disease. In fact, one recent study of more than 86,000 nurses reported that the risk of dying was 26 percent lower among those who drank four to five cups of coffee per day compared to those who abstained. People with heart or sleep problems, or women who are pregnant, should consult their doctor first, but most of us can drink our morning coffee without worry.
So, why do we get conflicting messages about nutrition? Scientists are a naturally skeptical bunch who continually question "truths" to be sure they are correct. One must look for the consensus out of the many research studies. Since most of us can't put the time into reading all that research, one of the best ways is to use good online sources like Nutrition.gov or the USDA National Agriculture Library. You can also talk to a dietitian. Either way, rely on the experts to sift through the latest claims and scientific discoveries to steer you down the right path.

Show that if converges, then:
also converges.
For large r, the second series approaches the first (ie. . For large r, the coefficient approaches 1.) Thus the second series will converge since the first does.Originally Posted by Aradesh
If you need specifics you can get a bit fancier and do a ratio test:

"For large r, the second series approaches the first" ... "Thus the second series will converge since the first does."
can you prove this? ie that.. if the terms of a second series approach the terms of a first converging series, then the second series converges also?
and as to the ratio test, i never said anything about surely there could be convergent series that do not satisfy this?
Assuming,Originally Posted by Aradesh
You have more simply,

Then so too,

Since the two summands of,

I believe that the ratio test states that is the ratio converges to less than one then the series must converge.Originally Posted by topsquark
If the series converges does not mean that the ratio test implies it being less than one. It cannot imply more than one for that would imply that is diverges. However it can still imply that is precisely equal to 1, (remember ratio test inconclusive at L=1).
I believe it, but i'm not convinced by one of your steps, tph.
ie that:

Aren't you are using this to say that since the terms in the series are less than or equal to each corresponding term in the series , therefore the first series must converge since the second one does.
But as far as I know, you can only say that if you know all the terms in the series are either all positive, or all negative (for sufficiently large r). since you'd know, for example, that the increasing smaller series would be bound above by the limit of the series you are using to compare with. but if we don't know that the series might be alternating, or changing signs erratically, I don't think you can reason it like this.
so could you elaborate on the fact that since
Let be a constant such that:
for all positive integer n.
I believe this is another problem.

Costa Rica's Bribrí Indigenous Community has lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years, living in the Huetar Atlantic Region, in the territories of Talamanca and Kekoldi – Cocles, in the Talamanca canton, Limón province, and the Brunca region in Cabagra and Salitre Territories, in Buenos Aires canton, Puntarenas province. At present some 10,000 individuals Bribrís are settled in that territory, being in the Talamanca Bribrí Territory inhabited by the indigenous majority around 6467.
In general, the Bribrís have retained their native language, both orally and in writing. The most important activity is agriculture, especially cocoa and bananas, but also has corn, beans and tubers. As a result of this agricultural society, the community has developed a barter system practiced primarily by women of the tribe. They are also dedicated to raising pigs, hunting birds and fishing. Its most important handicrafts are basketry and musical instruments manufacture, which use a variety of natural elements. Also in the production of various crafts with natural materials like "jícara", "cabuya", "pita", and other natural dyes, are various traditional techniques, designs and shapes that reflect their cultural background and living in harmony with nature.
Because of its isolated situation, in relation to major civilization centers, some Bribrís have opted to take identity cards both Panamanian and Costa Rican, making it easier to obtain medical help in an emergency in both countries. An interesting element of this ethnic group is that their houses (usually on wooden stilts and roofed with leaves) stand far apart from each other, that because the Bribrís appreciate their independence. It is not uncommon that a Bribrí home is an hour's from the nearest next house.
Because they are virtually the only Indian society in Costa Rica that retains its own identity, but fully integrated to nationality in all its aspects, has attracted special interest by the state, particularly in the areas of health, education and protection to indigenous values. In fact, in theirs region are heard a cultural radio station that broadcasts programs in the Bribrí language and also circulating a newspaper written entirely in their language. The Bribrí folk manifestations are interestingly during the celebrations within their cultural-religious context, preserved by them for centuries. The Bribrís practices an animist religion based on an indigenous shamanism, being one of the oldest religions still practiced in Costa Rica. Their beliefs are based on the cult of Sibú and the Bribrí society structuring in clan.
The University of Costa Rica, through its cultural and linguistic organizations, is concerned for preparing a grammar and spelling text in Bribrí language, which has been an invaluable aid in the preparation of the staff that works with indigenous people. Bribrí language is a tonal language spoken by the Bribrí community belonging to the "chibchense" linguistic family, that why is related to other local languages such as the Teribe, the Cabécar, the Boruca, the Guaymí and the Maleku. Like many other American languages, the number of Bribrí speakers is clearly declining. According to the national census conducted in 2000, only 60% of the Bribrí population is native speakers of the language, it is estimated that the total number of Bribrís speakers is about 6.000 individuals.
The Bribrí was always an oral language and which did not have writing itself until the U.S. linguist based in Costa Rica, Jack Wilson, began a systematic adaptation of the Latin alphabet (as used to represent the signs of the Costa Rican Spanish) aims to represent primary teaching and research the Bribrí sounds, using authors date back to the late nineteenth century. The Wilson task was completed by the also linguist Adolfo Constenla. The signs of the alphabet plotted to phonemes or part of a phoneme. In Bribrí, as in most languages, phonemes are usually carried out in three different ways together: vowels, consonants and semi-consonants. The symbols used to express graphically the vowels are: a, e, e, i, o, o, u, a, e, i, o, u. Those which are used to express the consonants are: b, ch, d, j, k, l, m, n, n, n, p, r, s, t and the ones used to express the semi-consonants are: w and i. Due to the chosen system for the graphical representation, some symbols can represent different sounds. At the time that this post was writing, the Bribrí is the only Costa Rican indigenous language which is taught at public universities in the country.

Anna (Keira Knightley) is married to Karenin, a man of great wealth and status in the 19th-century Russian government. She delights in her young son, but having married very young, there is much she has yet to discover about herself.
On a trip to Moscow to help her philandering brother, Oblonsky (Matthew MacFayden), reconcile with his scorned wife, Dolly (Kelly MacDonald), Anna meets a dashing man named Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and begins a journey into obsession, sexual desire, self-realization and destruction.
Meanwhile, a young landholder named Levin (Domhnall Gleeson), who's not at the top of the social ladder, is obsessively in love as well. He lusts after Dolly's beautiful young sister, Kitty (Alicia Vikander). He proposes marriage to pretty-Kitty, but alas, Kitty has also fallen under Vronsky's spell. She shuns Levin and rolls the dice with Vronsky, who she believes will spend the evening at the grand ball dancing with her.
Kitty and Anna are both shocked when bad-boy Vronsky can't take his eyes off married Anna. While mistresses were often taken by the Russian elite, for a young, single man to pursue an older, married woman was quite scandalous.
Anna, who respects her husband greatly, knows nothing of passionate romance and is defenseless when Vronksy chases after her. Once he catches her, neither he nor she can let go.
And herein lies the central question of Anna Karinina: Is she to be applauded for taking a stand against a societal double standard that allows men enormous moral latitude while denying women the same freedom? Or is she a selfish, childish narcissist who is incapable of feeling empathy for the husband and son to whom she has committed her life?
Director Joe Wright's (Pride and Prejudice, also starring Knightley) creative decision to set the film on the stage of a theater provides a meaty metaphor for imperial Russian society. He implies that instead of living their lives with passion and truth, the pre-revolution upper class were "acting" as if they were fulfilled — "acting" as if they were happy. Anyone who's ever seen Dr. Zhivago knows the dark fate of the Russian upper crust.
Lush costumes and choreographed scenes flow like a ballet, as does Tom Stoppard's (Shakespeare in Love) dialogue. Keira is extraordinary in the challenging role of Anna, and the gorgeous Aaron Taylor-Johnson grabs Vronsky by the throat and doesn't let go.

Expressing concerns over slow industrial production growth, industry today asked the Reserve Bank to cut rates in its policy review next month to boost investments and bring the growth back on track.
"Overall, industrial growth remains weak in 2011-12 and it is important to use all policy levers to encourage growth and investment. It is time that RBI focuses on getting growth back by sharply reducing interest rates," CII said.
Sharing similar views, Assocham said RBI must take this (sluggish IIP growth) into consideration, while announcing the credit policy on April 17.
Industry has been blaming the slowdown in growth to the high interest rate regime that has made borrowings costly and curbed consumer spending.
Industrial output growth slowed to 4.1 per cent in February this year, mainly due to poor performance of manufacturing sector
"The 4.1 per cent growth in industrial output is not good enough. This may not push the cumulative growth of the sector beyond 3.5 per cent in the 2011-12 fiscal," Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said.
Output of the manufacturing sector, which constitutes over 75 per cent of the IIP, rose by just 4 per cent in February compared to 7.5 per cent in the same period last year.
"The slow growth of the manufacturing sector has got wider implications and needs to be the addressed on a priority basis," Rawat said.
Besides, the IIP growth has been revised downwards to 1.14 per cent in January from the provisional estimates of 6.8 per cent.
"The error reported in the January number has sharply pulled down the growth rate for the year till now," Rawat said.
During the April-February period of 2011-12, the IIP growth is 3.5 per cent, as against 8.1 per cent in same period in 2010-11.

It's a Wrap: Campaigns Wind Down, Await Voters' Verdict
It's a wrap.
President Obama and Mitt Romney, after battling well into Election Day, wound down their campaigns Tuesday afternoon, leaving it in the voters' hands to decide who will take to oath of office come January.
Polls will begin to close as early as 6 p.m., with results expected to trickle in through midnight. The razor-thin margin between the candidates means the campaigns could be in for a long night.
Election Day, though, was unexpectedly busy for the campaigns. While Obama himself kept a low profile in Chicago, the campaign dispatched Vice President Biden to Ohio where he visited a Cleveland restaurant and later posed for pictures with volunteers before joining up with the president.
Romney, meanwhile, made stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania — two key swing states — before heading back to campaign headquarters in Boston.
"This is a big day for big change," Romney told a crowd of campaign volunteers outside Cleveland.
The visits rounded out a grueling battle for the White House. For Obama, the election is the last time his name will appear on a ballot, or so he claims. For Romney, the vote marks the close of a nearly six-year run for the presidency.
In an airtight contest, both candidates were expressing confidence as millions of voters flocked to the polls. Obama visited a Chicago campaign field office Tuesday morning, before playing his traditional election-day game of pick-up basketball. "The great thing about these campaigns is after all the TV ads and all the fundraising and all the debates and all the electioneering, it comes down to this," Obama said.
Voting kicked off overnight in two tiny villages in northern New Hampshire. Obama and Romney each won five votes in the small town of Dixville Notch, which was the first to announce its results after polls opened and closed within 43 seconds.
In Hart's Location Obama won with 23 votes, Romney received 9 and Libertarian Gary Johnson received 1 vote after 5 minutes, 42 seconds of voting. The towns have enjoyed first-vote status since 1948.
Obama closed out his campaign with a late-night rally in Iowa on Monday. The event was held in the same state where a 2008 caucus victory jump-started his path to the White House.
The president was photographed with tears running down his face as he spoke before a crowd of 20,000 supporters, telling them "this is where our movement for change began."
The president never mentioned Romney in his closing appeal, which sought to draw on the hope and optimism of his first campaign.
Romney returned Monday night to the state where he launched his bid, telling supporters in New Hampshire during his final campaign rally that he needs their votes again.
"It's all your votes and your work right here in New Hampshire that will help me become the next president of the United States," Romney told a thunderous capacity crowd at the Verizon Wireless Arena, which holds about 10,000 people. "We thank you and we ask you to stay in it all the way to the victory tomorrow night."
The final hours of the exhausting 2012 contest were played out at earlier mega-rallies across a half-dozen states. Each candidate sought to close the deal with voters promising "change," while accusing the other of peddling an agenda that would choke the country's already meager economic recovery.
Romney, in Fairfax, Va., said Obama simply has not lived up to his promises.
"Change can't be measured in speeches, it's measured in achievements," Romney said.
Obama, in Columbus, Ohio, claimed he's been fighting against the "status quo" and opponents who bet on "cynicism."
"I've got a whole lot of fight left in me, and I hope you do, too," the president told the cheering crowd.
Ohio is arguably the hardest-fought contest of the race, with both candidates visiting Monday and both pouring millions into that battleground. But with polls giving Obama a slight edge in the Buckeye State, Romney's campaign also has made a late play for Pennsylvania — a win in Pennsylvania could allow the Republican nominee to lose Ohio and still have a pathway to the 270 electoral votes it takes to win.
The Obama campaign, though, dismissed Romney's Election Day efforts as a "Hail Mary."
Voters across the country on Tuesday were casting ballots not just in the presidential race, but a host of congressional races that will determine the balance of power on Capitol Hill next year. Democrats currently control the Senate by a narrow 53-47 margin.
It's still an uphill climb for Republicans to take control — they have a much easier shot at retaining control of the House.
Meanwhile, voters are deciding on an array of controversial measures at the state level, including several that would partially legalize marijuana.
In the presidential race, battleground polls show a mixed picture. While Obama has the edge in Ohio, for example, Romney has the edge in the crucial state of Florida. Nationally, the latest and final Gallup survey showed Romney with 49 percent and Obama with 48 percent support.
By most estimates, Obama comes into Election Day with a slight advantage in the electoral vote count. The RealClearPolitics electoral map shows the states likely to vote for Obama are worth 201 electoral votes, while those likely to vote for Romney are worth 191. It takes 270 to win.
The toss-ups include: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Key events mark wrap-up of Women's History Month Celebration at RU
Radford University President Penelope W. Kyle will conclude the celebration of Women's History Month at the closing reception on Thursday, April 3, at 4 p.m. in the foyer of the Covington Center of the Performing and Visual Arts.
Kyle, RU's sixth, and first female, president, will host the reception and speak about the significance of Women's History Month, a campus wide commemoration of the accomplishments of women around the world and throughout history, organized by the Women's Studies Committee. The theme for the 2014 Women's History Month amplifies the Women's Studies Program motto: "Know Your History/Know Yourself: Build the Future."
"I have been pleased with the level of student engagement and at the topics that have been added this year," said Mary Ferrari, professor of history and chair of the 2014 Women' History Month committee.
Ferrari cited a Math Club presentation on women mathematicians and a panel discussion on women in the CIA as unique, new events from the month-long celebration so far. Other featured events from the 2014 celebration included Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues directed by Lucinda McDermott, a dance performance of original choreography by emerging female choreographers called "Paradigm Shift" and three "Circle of Life, Intergenerational Dialogues" in which women of one generation shared lifetime experiences and reflections with another generation.
"I have been surprised by the diversity of offerings that come from all parts of the RU community: students, faculty and staff," said Ferrari. "There is plenty more to come."
A key upcoming event in the celebration will be the "Are Women Worth Less? Why Is There a Gender Pay Gap?" symposium/workshop on Monday, March 31 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Muse Banquet room.
Sponsored by the Center for Gender Studies, Center for Social and Cultural Research, the RU Departments of Psychology and Sociology and the Scholar-Citizen Initiative, the event will feature a series of lectures and interactive workshops devoted to examining the issue of pay inequity for working women.

With the new NSURLSession, there is now a timeoutIntervalForRequest on the NSURLSessionConfiguration object used to create the session.
But there is still a timeoutInterval on the NSURLRequest object that can be used to create the NSURLSessionTask in the session.
My question is, if the configuration has a timeoutIntervalForRequest set to 30, but the NSURLRequest use to create the task has a timeoutInterval of 60, which timeout interval will actually be used?
As my investigation on iOS 7.0.3,
timeoutInterval for
NSURLRequest does not get any effects when it is used with
Whether you set
timeoutIntervalForRequest for
NSURLSessionConfiguration or not,
timeoutInterval is just ignored.
You can use my tiny sample application NetworkTimeoutSample for checking this behavior.
When you set 1 for 'URLReq' field, which affects
timeoutInterval for
NSURLRequest, then click 'NSURLSession With URLRequest' button, your session will not get timeout error.
You also may recognize you should set
timeoutIntervalForResource, instead of
timeoutIntervalForRequest for
NSURLSession if you'd like to get same timeout effect for
timeoutInterval of
If you set both
timeoutIntervalForRequest and
timeoutIntervalForResource value for
NSURLSessionConfiguration, smaller value will be affected(I feel this behavior is different from current API document).
There are no documentation about those specifications, so it might be changed on future iOS version.

Soft Metals
Soft Metals
Captured Tracks
Sep 22, 2011 Web Exclusive
Hypnotic. It's an easy starting point to describe what Soft Metals vocalist Patricia Hall and keyboardist Ian Hicks accomplish with their self-titled debut. All trance beats and breathy vocals; theirs is an aggressive argument for a return to the dance floor—seemingly lost in the haze of last year's don't-call-it-chillwave-wave. But while the band's siren call starts as inviting, there is little variation to these 10 tracks—making the songs often feel monotonous rather than pleasantly endless.
The problem lies in the album's breathing room—as Soft Metals appear to be the sort of folks who prefer their dance floors packed and sweaty. Synths and drum machines sitting at the front of the mix, Hall's Italo croon seems like the thinnest of afterthoughts, crammed in the corner and lacking the Baby-like ability to escape. "Always" proves to be Hall's sole showcase, her longing-filled pleas backed by a sparse, seven-note synth-riff that a 1980s Goth would give his favorite eyeliner to write.
Surprisingly, for the romantic/musical couple, Soft Metal's sound doesn't seem to be coming to a place of conviction, but rather complacency. Sensual? Sure, I'll buy that—as every track is peppered with a romantic view of the days of dark dance clubs and dry humping. But lacking the bombast of Glass Candy, or the outright weirdness of Chromatics, there's very little to suggest anything more than a playful retread—which falls flat when it comes to selling M83 knock-off "Celestial Call," or aimless instrumental closer, "In Throes." A good start to your evening—but certainly not capable of carrying the whole night. (www.facebook.com/SOFTMETALS)

I've written here before about the city of Albany's effort to rebrand the student neighborhood with names like "The Zone" or "The Quad" as part of an effort to attract investment to the area.
But riots like the ones that occurred over the weekend — and the complete disrespect that some students have for the city in which they live — help explain why landlords don't invest in those neighborhoods. Why would they?

In the Kitchen with Giada De Laurentiis
Recently, I was lucky to attend a special culinary lesson followed by a meet-and-greet with one of my favorite chefs/TV personalities: Giada De Laurentiis. The event, which took place at the Andaz Hotel in Midtown, was executed seamlessly and with great attention to detail. Guests were separated into tables of eight each and were presented with a set of tools and ingredients to recreate recipes from Giada's latest book, "Weeknights with Giada." I felt as if I were on the set of one of Giada's shows: each step of the preparation process led to a new set of tools and fresh bowls delivered by the event "sous chefs." If only cooking at home were this easy and mess-free! The group took turns chopping, mixing and prepping salad, chilled gazpacho served in shot glasses and a simple lasagna dish.
While it was a great to hone my culinary skills, the opportunity to work with and learn from Giada is what made this an extraordinary experience. Chef GDL spent time interacting with each person and provided cooking tips and quips about her experience as a chef. As the mother of a three-year-old, I found it especially useful to hear her insight on cooking for her daughter, Jade. She insists on keeping a well-stocked panty and utilizing aspects of one meal throughout the week (i.e. making an amazing sauce on Monday for a pasta and incorporating that into a fish dish on Wednesday).
Following the cooking demonstration, Giada told anecdotes from her childhood and her path toward her status as such as celebrated chef. She strives to bring a familial feeling and tons of flavor, colors and emotion into both her cooking and to her shows. All guests left with a personally signed copy of her new book, making it even easier to replicate her delicious meals!
This exclusive event was part of the By Invitation Only series that is only offered to American Express Platinum and Centurion card members. While the cards are known for their assistance with travel and perks, they also offer access to amazing experiences, including culinary events, which are right up my alley as an avid foodie!


text: > I don't think that's necessarily correct. In the disksort_cylinder() > case you want both cylinder and rawblkno (maybe rawblkno in this case > would be sector-relative-to-cylinder ?). Is it still meaningful? I think we cannot use actual cylinder number since zone bit recording makes the physical layout unknown to us. Anyway, I just use b_cylinder to store raw blkno and call disksort_cylinder(), and find my notebook extremely improves its performance. Atsushi

Penn State Intercom......October
31, 2002
Richard Robinett, professor of physics and assistant department head, has been selected as the winner of the C.I. Noll Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Sponsored by the Eberly College of Science Student Council and Alumni Society, the award represents the highest honor for undergraduate teaching in the college. The winner is chosen by a committee of students and faculty from nominees suggested by students, faculty and alumni.
Robinett has been teaching physics at the University since 1986. He has taught a broad range of physics courses for students in both science and nonscience majors. Two classes among his recent teaching responsibilities help build the science foundation of scores of students at the University: one is the first semester of a two-semester, algebra-based, lab-included introductory physics class taken by many life-science students, both in the Eberly College of Science and in other colleges; the other is the physics department's first-year seminar class, which Robinett initiated, developed, organized and has taught. The seminar introduces students to many aspects of the physics major and educational opportunities outside the classroom.

It looks like it looses the special character in tar or zip, but 7zip can store it just fine.
What 7zip? Native or Cygwin?
Better: Create a shell script which creates the file which makes trouble and send the script.
Shortcut: Tell me what the actual filename is. I can switch to the german keyboard layout if necessary.
Mind that I use a German language Windows version - if the above doesn't work for you, I can give you remote access if you want.
Sorry, but, no. I will very certainly not do remote debugging.
Btw., why don't you debug this? Strace, gdb, and the sysinternal tools are all free as in beer. As a start and as long as there's only one file in the test dir, you could also send the strace output of `ls test' as attachment to this list. This might help already.

We had almost a record number of entries this year, which tends to suggest that the Easter spot is more popular than the New Year time, thus it was decided last night that next years South Island Nationals are to be held in the same spot.
This great regatta would not have happened without the enormous effort put in by the many volunteers, but particular mention goes out to Marie Mitchell for her fantastic job on results, Brett Craies for his amazing organization skills and hard work, Ian Mitchell for sponsoring the regatta, and other parents such as Julian Beavis, Gavin Closey, Gary Hughes and Lance Wickman for their time and dedication to this regatta. Also, behind every great man is a woman, and Wendy Craies, Toni Wickman, Serena Beavis, Nicky Beckman and Shirley Closey, deserve recognition for their time put into making it all happen, especially with the lunches and food. It is hard to thank everyone, but thanks to all the sailors who came and made the Murrays Bay Starling Nationals 2012 the great event that it was.
