Shell has abandoned its plans to drill for oil in the Arctic waters off the coast of Alaska in 2013.
It's big news. But just the start of something bigger. Now it's time for President Obama to abandon the idea of Arctic drilling completely and declare the Arctic 'off limits' to industrial exploitation, forever.
Shell was supposed to be the best of the best, but the long list of mishaps and near-disasters from the company's failed attempt to drill in the Arctic last summer is a clear indication even the 'best' companies can't succeed in Arctic drilling.
President Obama and his administration gave Arctic drilling a chance and Shell proved that it isn't possible. It's time we kick our addiction to fossil fuels and deal with global warming decisively. That starts today and it starts with leadership from President Obama.
Take action today and join our campaign to protect the Arctic. Tell President Obama to make Arctic drilling 'off limits'. Forever.
8 reasons why Shell can't be trusted in the Arctic
1. Shell has no idea how much an oil spill clean-up would cost
In March 2012, in response to questions from the UK's Parliamentary Environmental Audit Committee, Peter Velez, Shell's head of emergency response in the Arctic admitted that Shell had not assessed the costs of a clean-up operation in the Arctic, leaving shareholders exposed to potentially huge financial losses.
2. Shell's barge, the Arctic Challenger, was not deemed safe enough by the US government
In July last year the US authorities announced that a key part of Shell's oil spill response fleet hadn't been allowed to sail to the Arctic because it did not meet US Coast Guard safety standards. The ship, Arctic Challenger, is a 36-year-old barge used to drag safety equipment through sea ice. But US authorities are not happy with what they've seen on-board and didn't feel confident the Arctic Challenger could withstand the extremely harsh Arctic environment. Originally Shell agreed that the ship would be able to withstand a 100-year storm, but company engineers are now saying that it is "no longer appropriate" for the barge to meet such onerous standards.
3. US Coast Guard "not confident" with Shell's dispersants in the event of an oil spill
In an interview with Bloomberg the commandant of the US Coast Guard expressed doubts about the impact of dispersants in Alaska in the event of an oil spill, saying - "I'm not confident what it will do in the colder water up in Alaska". Shell has included dispersant use as a major part of its oil spill response plan for the Arctic.
4. Shell's drill ship runs aground in a 'stiff breeze'
On 15 July Shell's drill ship, the Noble Discoverer, ran aground in the sheltered and relatively calm Dutch Harbour, Alaska, in a 35mph wind. Both the Noble Discoverer and the Kulluk are ageing, rusty vessels and not the state of the art fleet that Shell has been boasting about. The Kulluk has been mothballed for the last 13 years whilst the Frontier Discoverer was built in 1966.
5. Shell's drill ship catches fire
In November the engine of the drill ship, the Noble Discoverer, caught fire as it returned to Dutch Harbour, Alaska, and had to be put out by specialist fire crews.
6. Shell's capping stack safety system 'crushed like a beer can' during testing
In December it was revealed that the oil spill containment system that Shell was supposed to have on-site in the Arctic was badly damaged in September testing. A Federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement representative disclosed that the sub-sea capping stack was "crushed like a beer can".
7. Shell's Alaskan Vice-President admits: "There will be spills"
In an interview with the BBC, Pete Slaiby admits that an oil spill is what people were most concerned about. "If you ask me will there ever be spills, I imagine there will be spills," he said.
8. Shell's Arctic oil rig hits the rocks
On 31 December 2012, Shell's oil rig, Kulluk, ran aground off the coast of Alaska whilst being towed back to harbour in Seattle. It had hit heavy weather in the gulf of Alaska a few days earlier which caused the 400ft towing line to break and the rig to drift free. A tug managed to reconnect with the Kulluk but it "experienced multiple engine failures" 50 miles south of Kodiak Island, causing the rig to drift free once again in 35ft seas and winds of 40mph. The rig eventually ran aground after another attempt to tow it away. The Kulluk had 139,000 gallons of diesel and 12,000 gallons of hydraulic oil on board but as yet no spills have been reported. It took six days for the rig to finally be freed from grounding - noone knows yet how bad the damage is.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Marathon County is asking taxpayers how the county should spend its money over the next five years.
About 1,100 households have until Friday to take a survey that asks them which service areas are most important. The survey covers everything from spending on health services to public safety and economic development.
"We have to engage the people that are paying the bills," said Joanne Leonard, a county board supervisor who serves on a strategic planning task force.
The survey is one part of the county's effort to update its strategic plan. The task force has also held focus groups with county board members and other residents.
A draft of the strategic plan should be done this spring.

I recently came across this article on the Washington Post.
Being a part of a generation that gradually, if with cautious unease, learnt to adjust to the Internet, I could not help but compare India's policymakers with those of developed nations based on their level of acceptance of changing media.
Frankly, it is difficult to imagine our lawmakers in the same position as described in the article.
For years, when social networking meant visiting friends and family at Christmas and New Year, and Facebook was still a concept, representatives of our democracy would depend on traditional ways to reach out to their electorate.
Rallies would block traffic, fields would fill with squatting populace hanging on to their leaders' words and newspapers would print carefully penned statements.
Then came the Internet boom and more and more politicians realized the utility of the 24×7 online audience and the tools at their hand to maximize their reach.

[This blog post is a reprint of an original article I wrote for PM Boulevard. I'm reprinting it here as they require signup to read their stuff.]
In the Agile space there is a lot of talk around "self-organizing teams". This term is plagued by the same problem as many other trendy catch phrases; it's made up of a bunch of words that everyone knows which are strung together in such a way that everyone believes they understand what they mean.
There is already a ton of information out there on what a self organizing team is, but for the sake of completeness I will give a quick review.
A mature self organizing team should:
- Understand generally what its goals and constraints are.
- Continuously learn about itself, its environment and be able to adapt.
- Routinely question the status quo, seeking to remove waste and improve.
- Be given the responsibility and authority to actually do everything above.
Sometimes folks get the impression that self organization is a purely ad-hoc, do-what-feels-good, Lord of the Flies environment conjured up by developers to get rid of management and that it will never scale to the enterprise. This could not be further from the truth. Self-organization requires professionals to maintain a high level of discipline in a structured environment. A true self organizing system will scale indefinitely, and, while many of the ideas involved with self-organization indeed challenge traditional Taylor-esque management structures and styles, it does not imply a lack of leadership, communication or coordination.
Often times organizations struggle with how to achieve self organization. This is especially true for businesses that are migrating from traditionally "managed" teams or a command-and-control hierarchal structure. Two areas that cause the majority of the problems with creating self-organizing teams are 1) an understanding and supportive organization and 2) a willing and able team.
An understanding an supportive organization:
It's one thing for an organization to say it supports self organizing teams and another thing to actually do it.
The first step is to get the current software development management around the teams to understand their new role. The wrong thing to do is just let go of the reins and expect teams to all of a sudden fend for themselves. Management needs to transform into mentors, coaches, and motivational visionaries there to guide teams and help them overcome the eventual obstacles they will encounter.
The second step is to engage the rest of the business to understand their needs and work organizationally to adapt business needs to self organizing practices. This will likely be new information to many other departments in the organization and there could be some challenges as their status quo gets ruffled. The key is to show them the benefits of what they are gaining and mitigate the feelings of loss due to change.
To be certain, this is not an IT-only shift. The biggest mistake management or senior leadership can make is to assume this is not a fundamental change in how the organization, as a whole, will operate moving forward.
A willing and able team:
Not to be underestimated are the challenges and changes an individual team will undergo during its metamorphosis to self organization.
First there has to be a level a willingness on the team, even just to try. The basics should be described to every team member; that they all have a shared accountability for the success and improvement of the team, that is it everyone's job to learn, ask questions and to challenge things that don't seem to make sense and so on. Sometimes teams jump at this opportunity and others shy away from it. If many of the members are used to traditional hierarchal teams they may want to just come to work and "do their job". It is important to explain to those individuals why the particular changes are being made and how these types of teams increase the quality of software as well as allow the organization to adapt to changes more fluidly over time.
Unfortunately, not all individuals will acclimatize to this. While this is pretty rare, occasionally it may be required to inform a team member that this is the intended direction of the team, and that if they are not comfortable with the new environment, perhaps they would be better suited elsewhere in the company. To be clear, a transfer of this type should be made genuinely and not as a my-way-or-the-highway threat.
The second consideration is to determine if the team in it's current state is able. A team needs to have some members that are likely to emerge as leaders as well has have individuals with technical proficiencies and domain knowledge. Sometimes the team lead, tech lead or manager is already providing sufficient leadership, but not always and not always in all areas that require leadership. Often times, in a self organizing team, multiple leaders will emerge. That's okay. It's not like leadership is defined or imbued with a title anyway right?
So this all seems really complicated and risky. Why bother?
To be sure, migrating from traditional teams to self-organizing teams should not be trivialized. Quite often it can be useful to being in someone from the outside to spend time with a team to help them with this transformation. This "coach" is certainly not required, but having an effective change agent knowledgable of agile engineering practices and methodologies generally is, whether that person be internal or external. It's also important to remember it doesn't have to happen overnight (and probably shouldn't), simply keep the principles in mind and continually adjust towards the goal.
Edwards Deming showed that, even with automotive factory workers, empowering the lowest levels of an organization greatly increased quality, productivity, and job satisfaction while simultaneously keeping problem solving and decision making flexible and adaptive. This is especially true, and perhaps even necessary, for long-term success when "managing" or organizing knowledge workers. However, in the end your organization can reap the same benefits Deming found. Your software teams will be able to create higher quality products while feeling more autonomy, purpose, and mastery in their jobs while keeping your organization more responsive to change.

Ember at Embedly: Introduction to Ember Development
Every time I see Ember on Hacker News it's being trashed, like MongoDB trashed. It sucks for an open source project when the herd mentality kicks in and it becomes cool to hate. Sadly, I'm not one of the cool kids.
Ember is excellent. We use it extensively here at Embedly for our developer dashboard. While none of us here are JavaScript experts, Ember has made us incredibly productive.
We are going to do a series of posts on Ember at Embedly. Mostly tips and tricks that have made us successful. These are not aimed at the pro, but the amateur.
A lot goes in to baking a production-quality website, and Ember adds to that. As a result, there is a lot of boilerplate when it comes to setting up the development environment. Rest assured that once you fight through the boilerplate, you'll be able to iterate at an impressive rate.
Okay, so you have a new awesome idea of what you are going to build, how do you get started?
Grunt is the Javascript Task Runner. It makes the set up of common tools like jshint, compass, uglify and development servers dead simple. We use it in almost every project now and it has made development a whole lot easier.
Yeoman is a thin wrapper around Grunt that really just builds out a directory structure and a few files. One member of your team will use it once and never think about it again.
So, let's get started.
$ mkdir demo $ cd demo $ npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower
At the time of writing, the ember generator for yeoman is hosed, so you can do what you wish with that information. We can just use the default webapp generator.
$ yo webapp $ npm install & bower install
This will build a pretty simple directory structure.
app / index.html scripts/ main.js styles/ main.css Gruntfile.js package.json test /
Yeoman sets up the project so it can immediately be used. Run grunt's server to launch your new web app.
$ grunt server
Tada, a browser will open to http://localhost:9000/ and show a nice little Allo message.
Getting Ember
Bower is Twitter's package management tool for the Web. Let's get Ember installed using bower.
$ bower install ember
Bower will handle getting all the right dependencies and install them in a components directory. You will then need to add Ember and Handlebars to your index.html file.
$ vim app/index.html
You can put the following lines near the bottom but above main.js:

Grunt will live reload your browser. You now have all the dependencies for a simple Ember app. You can prove it by opening up the console and running
To recap, that was about 5 commands to get Ember completely ready to go:
$ npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower $ yo webapp $ npm install && bower install $ bower install ember $ vim app/index.html
If you complain about how hard Ember is to set up you are using the wrong tools.
Here on out is optional, but will probably save you some headaches later down the road. We will set up
grunt-ember-templates, an Application and the Router.
grunt-ember-templates module pre-compiles all your templates on the fly and adds them to Em.Templates, which is where Ember keeps your templates so it can match them to your views, based on naming convention. More on this later.
$ npm install grunt-ember-templates --save-dev # Create the templates directory. $ mkdir app/templates $ touch app/templates/index.handlebars
We are going to have to update the Gruntfile to run
Grunt is configured by a Gruntfile.js, which uses JSON to define a bunch of different actions that Grunt can perform for you. This is where we'll hook up grunt-ember-templates to Grunt.
$ vim Gruntfile.js
In the Gruntfile, you are going to load the task before, I generally put it before the
Inside the
grunt.initConfig you will need to set up the compile task to point at all the templates.
ember_templates: { compile: { options: { templateName: function(sourceFile) { return sourceFile.replace(/app\/templates\//, ''); } }, files: { "<%= yeoman.app %>/scripts/templates.js": ["<%= yeoman.app %>/templates/**/*.handlebars"] } } },
Next tell the watch command to look for changes in the templates directory to make the live reload work correctly:
watch { ... ember_templates: { files: '<%= yeoman.app %>/templates/**/*.handlebars', tasks: ['ember_templates'] }, ... }
Lastly, add
ember_templates to the server task, you are looking for this line:
grunt.registerTask('server', function (target) { ... grunt.task.run([ ... 'compass:server', 'ember_templates', // Add this line. 'livereload-start', ... ]); });
Once you restart grunt server, you can take a gander at the app/scripts/templates.js file in scripts. It should look something like this:
Ember.TEMPLATES["index"] = Ember.Handlebars.template ...
Add that script to the index.html file to make sure the browser loads it.

That was kind of a detour, you don't really need to set up
ember_templates, you can use inline script tags or Em.Handlebars.compile, but this method offers a nice separation of HTML and javascript. For a quick reference you can see the completed Gruntfile here.
The last step here will be to set up a simple App and Router to take advantage of our setup.
You can add the main.js to the end of index.html and delete whatever is in that file.

Next set up a
rootElement for Ember to use, this will make sure that Ember puts the html where you want it to. Replace the div with the class container with:

Next add a simple Application to main.js:
App = Em.Application.create({ rootElement: $('#app'), });
You can then edit index.handlebars with a simple h1
$ echo "
My App
" > app/templates/index.handlebars
When grunt reloads the server, your browser will have My App as the header. There is a little magic going on here. Ember is creating a Router for you and by default creates and Application Route and an Index Route. This is why just adding an index.handlebars works.
The Router is dead simple to set up as well. In main.js add
App.Router.map(function(){ this.route('about'); });
And then create the about template
$ echo "
About
" > app/templates/about.handlebars
If you navigate to /#/about, boom, you are now in the About route. You can also link to the about page from index by adding:
{{#linkTo "about"}}About{{/linkTo}}
This all works based on naming conventions. You can create an AboutController, AboutRoute and AboutView, but Ember will take care of that for these simple routes. More on that later.
Setting up Ember is a lot of boiler plate code, and there are some really good tools out there that do it for you. Nothing I have described above is earth shattering, but it should get you set up for your next Ember project.
I put the complete demo on Github for reference you can find it at github.com/screeley/ember-demo-environment.
For our next post in the Ember series, we will go into Ember basics; Views, Routing and Outlets. Stay tuned.

I am either at work, WORKING, or I'm at home SLEEPING. There is not much in between. Except driving, and well, I can't blog while driving, I just can't. I know I used to read the Roanoke Times in the car on my way to work back in the day.. and I have been known to scroll through the New York Times on the blackberry now at stoplights, but blogging? Eh. Sorry, just not going to happen in the car.

For Immediate Release:Majority CaucusLouisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622 A resolution calling for two separate Domestic Violence Court dockets in Jefferson County will soon be on its way to the Kentucky Supreme Court following passage by the Louisville Metro Council on Thursday night.
All members of the Council present joined the resolution's sponsor Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13) as sponsors. The resolution was approved unanimously.
"This is an important step in the protection of victims of domestic violence," said Welch. "I want to thank my colleagues for their support. It is my hope the judicial system will see this action as an important stand by local leaders in handling the crime of domestic violence."
The resolution calls upon the Kentucky Supreme Court and the Jefferson District General Term to create two separate domestic violence dockets. Domestic Violence cases would be removed from the current general docket in an effort to focus more attention on those who commit the crime and protect victims.
It has the support of Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell.
"I want to thank Councilwoman Welch for taking the lead on this resolution as the court reorganization addresses this serious problem," said O'Connell. "I also want to thank the Metro Council which has been a strong advocate with my office for passage of this resolution."
The resolution follows Council action in 2009 which provided $34,500 in funding to expand the services of the Domestic Violence Intake Center in the Hall of Justice. The Center offers assistance to victims as they begin their journey through the local courts in domestic violence cases.
"It is my hope the Courts will follow through on the intent of this resolution if nothing else for the protection and peace of mind for the victims involved in this serious crime," said Welch.

Race matters to a young woman's sense of self when she states her hometown, and then is pressed, 'No, where are you really from?', regardless of how many generations her family has been in the country. Race matters to a young person addressed by a stranger in a foreign language, which he does not understand because only English was spoken at home. Race matters because of the slights, the snickers, the silent judgments that reinforce that most crippling of thoughts: 'I do not belong here.'

You may remember Darin Wedel. Early last year, his wife, Jennifer, asked President Barack Obama during a town hall-style conference call, about H-1B visas. Her husband had been laid off from Texas Instruments, she told him, despite strong credentials that included a patent he held.
Why does the government continue "to issue and extend H-1B visas when there are tons of Americans just like my husband with no job?" Mrs. Wedel asked the president.
Obama never directly answered the question. But he backs immigration reform legislation approved in the Senate that will substantially raise the base 65,000 cap on H-1B visas to as high as 180,000.
What that H-1B change would mean for electrical engineers, if the House agrees to the legislation, remains to be seen. Wedel, who trained as an electrical engineer and worked in the semiconductor industry, has been in the bull's-eye of some of the most turbulent changes in his field.
Software development employment has increased over the past 10 years, but not all IT areas are doing as well. And electrical engineering declined over this same period.
Some of that decline is a consequence of a fall-off in manufacturing, argue some. Offshore outsourcing gets blamed, as more engineering is done overseas.
Engineering is connected to manufacturing, and "manufacturing is shrinking as a fraction of our economy, as work moves offshore," said Stan Sorscher, labor representative at the Society for Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), a union representing more than 24,000 scientists, engineers, technical and professional employees in the aerospace industry.
"Engineering work follows manufacturing," said Sorscher, who has a Ph.D. in physics.
"As low-tech suppliers take on more complex work, they will necessarily develop their own capacity for manufacturing R&D," said Sorscher. "As part of the offshoring business model, U.S.-based manufacturers transfer manufacturing technology to foreign suppliers and often integrate the offshore manufacturing into the overall design process," he said.
Wedel has found new work. He has been employed for about a year as a quality engineer for a large eye care/pharma company.

hey boy, was a joke, we must not take things so seriously!
Hang on, you asked a question and posted a sample, I pointed out some obvious issues and you get all defensive, and called me boy! How does that work?
It is up to you how seriously you take this stuff, but you shouldn't be surprised if somebody answers a question you ask, it is a forum......

what if tyho's "investment" in Canon is a 300D and a 18-55 efs???
He may very well be right to sell his kit for £30 and buy a low end newer Nikon. Everyone is up in arms like he's using the 5Diii or 1Dx and reckoning the tech is a bit shoddy or something...

After high school, you would think that you are already done with book reports. Not exactly, because in college, one of the challenges you need to work on again is how to write a book report college level. This fact should not scare you in any way because that is still part of the educational process you have to go through. For as long as you know where to start and at what point you should end your report, you can perfectly accomplish the task.
Remember that a good book report contains a clear summary of the whole content of the book. Therefore, you will need to extract only those significant parts of the book and come up with a better analysis. Don't forget to incorporate your opinion in your report. The top secret to producing an A+ book report is to have very thorough research.
Take the following steps and let us see how you can finish the job excellently.
Deeply understand the story of the book. You might be asking yourself how to correctly read a book. There is no settled rule on that. Just don't skip several pages only to finish reading the book. There is even no identified motivational tool on how to drive a reader to keep reading except the very story of the book itself. Since you are required to make a book review, you have to understand what you are about to write on.
Read the book page by page and in-between the lines. You can finish one chapter right after your class in the afternoon, and then proceed to the next chapter after dinner. The rest of the book may be finished the next day. You can continue reading during early dawn if that is workable on your part.
Write down important details to serve as an outline. As you read, you can write down significant details of the story. If you personally bought the book, you might as well use a pen to highlight important details.
What the about the details anyway? The overall plot of the story, which you will write later on, will include the names of the characters, story setting, and time. There are dates like months or years that you might need to specify. By citing specific details, you can convince your instructor that indeed you know what you just wrote.
Let us say in the book "Compelling Evidence" by Steve Martini, you should take note when the husband died, how long was the trial period, and what was the verdict, if any, promulgated.
Start with a strong opening statement. The importance of posing a very strong opening statement is to make your book review inviting. In the cited book sample in No. 2, you can write "Is the wife guilty as accused?" or "Realizing that you have actually made a huge mistake that happens in the end and never at the start." or "What is the propriety or legal implication when a lawyer is defending his ex-lover?"
Your opening statement is the main drive why your readers should go on reading your report. Likely, readers will finish reading just to find out the answer or the truth in your opening statement.
Introduce the book and the author. The best way to introduce your subject book is to mention the fact that it is best selling, if such is the case, or to specifically state that it is the debut novel of the author. You may also add that the book is already available in all leading bookstores in your area.
As for the author, mention his or her complete name correctly. Write a few sentences about his or her writing credentials; like how many top-selling books have already sold successfully. Include also his or her profession and current location.
Write the basic plot of the book. To some, they said that the plot is the most important part of a book report. The plot is more of a summary type; hence, you cannot overdo it. Your guide is the 4W-1H rule. You need to answer the what, who, where, when, and the how.
For instance, in the book sample, the "what" refers to the killing of Ben, the husband of the accused Talia, to the case itself, and to the circumstantial evidence gathered. The "who" refers to Ben who is the victim, to Talia who is the accused, to Paul who is the lawyer and the ex-lover of Talia, and to Nikki who is the wife of Paul. The "where" is the setting of the story like where did the killing happen and where the case was tried. The "when" refers to the date when the killing took place and all other relevant dates. Lastly, the "how" is about the act of killing, the defense tactics of Paul, and, of course, the courtroom drama of the story.
Close the book report with a good conclusion. An excellent conclusion is able to sum up the relationship, principles, and generalizations of the report. The conclusion can be contained in two to three short paragraphs carefully discussing, not repeating, the theme of the book. It is a big "no" to start your paragraph with "I, therefore, conclude" or "To conclude."
The first sentence can say, "As far as the courtroom drama and the characters are concerned, both were nicely presented like a real-life scenario" and then go on with the rest.
Express your opinion and recommendation about the story. Your opinion can be corroborative in support of or responsive to your opening statement. The most important thing is you can establish a close connection between your opinion and the story of the book.
For instance, on the opening statement which says "What is the propriety or legal implication when a lawyer is defending his ex-lover?" you can conclude that, although there seems to be a conflict of interest when Paul started to defend Talia, it was still Paul's legal obligation to fairly defend the accused regardless of his misgivings, and it was his moral obligation to save the accused from death row.
Proofread the output and get ready submit it. After completing your book report, do not review nor proofread it right away. If you do so, you can hardly spot clerical and grammar errors. Take a rest for about an hour or so and then proofread your output at least twice. Finally, print it in accordance with the paper and printing guidelines set by your instructor, and then submit it on or before the due date.
This time, you must have realized that how to write a book report college level is not scary. Rather, it is both fun and thrilling. As long as you know how to go about a particular college paper project and you find joy in doing it, there is no reason why it cannot be completed as required.

Equality! According to senior defense officials, it seems as though Pentagon chief Leon Panetta is lifting the restriction for women in the military to serve in front-line combat positions and elite commando jobs. This "groundbreaking" effort lifts the 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller combat units. This will likely eventually include inclusion into special operation forces like the Navy SEALS and the Army's Delta Force.
Currently women already serve in combat support roles as medics, military police, or intelligence officers, but this would be the first time they'd be able to be assigned specifically to a combat role on the front lines.
Do you hear that? Does it sound like chivalry dying to you? I thought soldiers on the front lines went there with patriotism and pride in protecting the women and children back home. There's a certain amount of machismo involved in that thinking, and I'm ok with that. It gives our men courage and a sense of virility that's needed when facing death in a war zone.
We should also look at the physical standards required to serve in these positions. Oftentimes, soldiers need to carry 100 pounds or more of equipment in triple-degree heat. Are women capable of enduring the high levels of upper body strength needed to accomplish that, not to mention the endurance that it will require?
One hopes that for the sake of equality, women will be required to pass the same physical tests that the men do. Once we start to question whether we should lower those standards because women are not as strong as men, we have to go back to the question of whether or not women are capable of serving on the front lines.
It's a fact that all things being equal, women are not as physically strong as men. Serving on the front lines and in special forces requires a tremendous amount of strength -- so much that many men are unable to serve in such a capacity. It's not saying that women are inferior to men because we're not allowed to fight on the front lines; it's simply acknowledging that we're different.
Besides … we're the ones that have to deal with the menses, and the crazy emotions and the holy-crap-I'm-gonna-die cramps that accompany that lovely aspect of lady-dom. Don't we have enough to deal with without the pressure of front-line combat?
Do you think allowing women on the front lines of war is a good or bad idea?
Image via The U.S. Army/Flickr
What a disaster!
I think if a woman can pass the same exact test as the men do they should serve on the front lines but if we have to change the test they shouldn't. Also we should make sure these women understand that their bodies are built differently from the males they work with and that they may have problems after that men don't have (like back problems.)
Bills, I agree that women and men are built differently with different capabilites. I don't see an issue with simply embracing those differences rather than trying to pretend that it doesn't exist. Different isn't the same as unequal.
Regarding the tampon issue, I imagine it would be the same as if a male soldier needed to poop, pee, puke, etc...if you're in the middle of combat, it's gonna have to wait.
When I was active duty I was a 63T, which is a Bradley 2nd level mechanic and we were considered combat mechanic. I was attached to an infantry unit. My Sister-in-law was a 3rd level mechanic and stayed in the rear. She would have had no problem doing my job. The only problem I would have is when we were in the field, we sometimes went two weeks without a shower....

Julien Stoehr, Pierre Pudlo, and Lionel Cucala (I3M, Montpellier) arXived yesterday a paper entitled "Geometric summary statistics for ABC model choice between hidden Gibbs random fields". Julien had presented this work at the MCMski 4 poster session. The move to a hidden Markov random field means that our original approach with Aude Grelaud does not apply: there is no dimension-reduction sufficient statistics in that case… The authors introduce a small collection of (four!) focussed statistics to discriminate between Potts models. They further define a novel misclassification rate, conditional on the observed value and derived from the ABC reference table. It is the predictive error rate
integrating in both the model index m and the corresponding random variable Y (and the hidden intermediary parameter) given the observation. Or rather the transform of the observation by the summary statistic S. In a simulation experiment, the paper shows that the predictive error rate decreases quite a lot by including 2 or 4 geometric summary statistics on top of the no-longer-sufficient concordance statistics. (I did not find how the distance is constructed and how it adapts to a larger number of summary statistics.)
"[the ABC posterior probability of index m] uses the data twice: a first one to calibrate the set of summary statistics, and a second one to compute the ABC posterior." (p.8)
It took me a while to understand the above quote. If we consider ABC model choice as we did in our original paper, it only and correctly uses the data once. However, if we select the vector of summary statistics based on an empirical performance indicator resulting from the data then indeed the procedure does use the data twice! Is there a generic way or trick to compensate for that, apart from cross-validation?

Bank Customer Reviews
Clothes are nice but it's a little pricey
I've been in-store to look around at Bank a few times and always liked the clothes they stocked. I usually see things I like but nothing that I really can't do without, so most of the time my visits are just spent browsing with no outcome. I logged onto the website a few weeks ago because I was looking for a dress for a friend's party at the last minute and managed to find one I thought was pretty nice. Everything about the ordering process was ok, an easy enough website to navigate and shipping that meant the items arrived on time, even if it wasn't speedy. I would happily order with Bank again if it was an item I couldn't live without.
The dress I bought was nice, good quality and well made. The problem is that I think that's possible, especially on the internet, at a cheaper price. I paid quite a lot for my dress (above the average price of say... New Look or Dorothy Perkins) and I don't think the standard or range of designs was higher in quality. Perfectly good though - nothing to complain about in terms of my experience. Just a little on the expensive side!
You can bank on these looks!!!
I love the way the clothes here are presented. Nice big photos presenting each garment clearly, so I know exactly what I'm getting before I order it. I'm a big fan of a lot of the designers featured here, and I especially love the fabrics used by Elise Ryan this year. I got a butterfly maxi dress of hers for a song here, and I love it so much that I miss it when it's in the dirty clothes pile. The sales are really good, but even the normally priced items are pretty reasonable.
Bank's holiday shop was fab!!!
Bank is one of my favourite websites to visit for bargains on clothing. They have so many things to choose from that sometimes it's a bit difficult to even go through all of the options…in vests and tshirts alone they had over 100 items last time I shopped! Fortunately you can sort the options by colour, size and price range so that at least narrows things down a bit. Last week I browsed through their women's holiday shop on the site as I wanted a few new things for my trip to Spain. I found a bikini, Havaianas flip flops, a striped maxi dress, white shorts, a pair of linen pants and some really cool sunglasses. Everything arrived quickly with free delivery!
I was happy to see that Bank offered free returns in June through Collect+ since you never know if something will be well-fitting. It turned out that the dress was a bit too small, so I didn't have to worry about paying to post it back. I didn't end up ordering a new dress since I wasn't in love with the style anyway, but I received a credit to my card within four days or so. I'm very happy with Bank and will shop again soon!

Herb Dean Draws Referee Assignment For Silva Vs. Weidman II
Veteran referee Herb Dean has drawn the referee assignment in the UFC 168 main event, a rematch between former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and current champion Chris Weidman.
In their first match, Weidman shocked the world when he knocked the dominant champion Silva out cold in the second round. Herb Dean was the referee in that match as well.
"The first fight was quite strange, and I normally don't recommend the same ref for the rematch, but here, I think it would actually be very appropriate," Keith Kizer, Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission said.
The judges for UFC 168 were also announced, and Chris Lee, Junichiro Kamijo, and Patricia Morse-Jarman will be the three cageside judges for the event.
UFC 168 takes place Dec. 28 in Las Vegas.

Great Zinc
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by affinitywellness on Jul 28, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I do not know of a zinc Picolinate product that you can purchase over the counter in Australia but if you're taking zinc you should be getting off the chelated stuff and onto this more absorbable form. This is the brand my own nutritional medicine specialist prescribes for me however she charges twice as much!
Good Product

Purchased at iHerb
My doctor suggested that i get a blood test for cooper and zinc levels. My Zinc levels were Half of what they should have been and my copper levels were double of what they should have been. Since taking zinc picolinate, I have noticed that my receding hairline is growing back and my hair is thicker. Zinc is also important for gut permeability and health. If I have stomach discomfort I combine zinc, a probiotic and L glutamine to reduce or even stop the symptoms.
good strength
