Pancreatic Cancer Causes
Aside from advanced age, smoking is the main risk factor for pancreatic cancer; a smoker is three to four times more likely than a nonsmoker to acquire the disease. People frequently exposed to certain petroleum products may also be at increased risk. Excessive alcohol, dietary fat, and protein, as well as low fiber intake, may also promote the disease. Diabetes is also linked to pancreatic cancer, with 10% to 20% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer also having diabetes.

text: The US Government's pursuit of WikiLeaks could be its undoing The Great Transition 13 December 10 CC-licensed: Mataparda Peter Kirwan Wired.co.uk Media Specialist This is about as good as it gets for the United States of America. Backed by the righteous anger of lawmakers and commentators, hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of the nation's brightest brains are working toward the goal of making Julian Assange answer for his alleged crimes in a US court.Those engaged in this effort should enjoy the thrill of the chase. If Assange is successfully extradited to the US, a sobering experience will follow. Prosecuting the founder of WikiLeaks could very easily turn into a nightmare. In formal terms, Julian Assange will be the man standing trial. But the participant with the most to lose will be the US government. Victory, if it arrives in any formal sense, will feel pyrrhic.The US government's position is weak because it possesses relatively few reliable legal tools. Prosecuting Assange under The Espionage Act of 1917, America's version of Britain's Official Secrets Act, still looks like the best option.Ranging far more widely than its title suggests, the Espionage Act criminalises the communication of "information relating to the national defense", which "the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States." The act theoretically makes criminals of Julian Assange, the newspaper editors working with WikiLeaks and anyone who reads, or even Tweets, about the contents of a classified cable.The law's sweeping nature has troubled judges for the best part of a century. As a result, administrations have become reluctant to deploy it.A civilian *recipient* of classified data has never been convicted under this law. Nor has someone like Assange, who will claim to be protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press.Happening now: Assange just granted bail in London courtWhen the White House went after Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times in 1971, it used The Espionage Act. But Assange's position isn't analogous to that of Ellsberg. Instead, it's closer to that of The New York Times, which published Ellsberg's documents. Even the Nixon administration held back from prosecuting The Times, preferring instead to injunct the newspaper while it pursued Ellsberg through the criminal courts.The Nixon administration was trying to circumvent the First Amendment. Yet in order to prosecute Assange, the Obama administration may have to confront the First Amendment head on. It may be forced to argue that WikiLeaks isn't a media organisation, but merely a web site, devoid of editorial functions, that publishes raw data.The argument that only "established" media outlets can count on First Amendment protection is profoundly at odds with the reality of media production and consumption in the 21st century. Any prosecution on these grounds will provoke storms of criticism and ridicule.Neither has Assange made this argument easy for prosecutors. WikiLeaks asked Washington for assistance with redacting the cables and met with a refusal. Yet when The New York Times asked the US government for advice on what to censor, it received suggestions. "The other news organizations supported these redactions," New York Times editor Bill Keller recently wrote in an online discussion. "WikiLeaks has indicated that it intends to do likewise. And as a matter of news interest, we will watch their website to see what they do."If Assange has been sensible, WikiLeaks is exercising the same editorial judgements as the world's leading newspapers. It's instructive to listen to what Sylvie Kauffmann, executive editor of Le Monde (which also collaborated with WikiLeaks) has to say about this:"Even the political classes [in France] recognised that the newspapers who had been working on these cables had behaved in a responsible way. They acknowledged that we had been doing our job of selecting the material in an expert way. There was a complete evolution of the public view."The prospect of the editors of Der Spiegel, El Pais, the Guardian, Le Monde and The New York Times testifying about how they limited unacceptable side-effects should worry the White House. Perhaps Assange's defence team will also want to question US defence secretary Robert Gates about his claim that the damage inflicted by Cablegate has been " fairly modest". If this is the case, perhaps WikiLeaks and its collaborators were a good deal more responsible than critics suggest.The US government could choose another route to court: it could prosecute WikiLeaks and the news organisations with which it collaborated. This option has been floated by Senator Joe Lieberman, the influential chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. It has also been described by Steve Vladeck, professor of law at American University, as "crossing a proverbial Rubicon that even the most secrecy-obsessed, First Amendment-indifferent administrations have consistently refused to attempt to bridge". The results would include a full-blown constitutional crisis. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Comments I tend to agree with your conclusion that the legal case to "try" Assange/Wikileaks is theoretically and practically flawed. The potential for further problems caused by activists less worried about "collateral damage" should be taken into account too.But I suspect that there are too many vested interests for governments and their backers to stop now and when those in power have the wealth to back it up - there could be trouble ahead............ rob Dec 13th 2010 A few misguided Congressmen have proposed prosecuting Wikileaks but it is far from a serious proposal, for various reasons. I would be seriously surprised to see anyone try to prosecute Wikileaks, unless it is found that they paid for, solicited, or stole classified information, which does not appear to be the case.As far as the denial of service attacks against Wikileaks being authorized by the US Gov't, please tell me you are joking. You mean to say that the best the US Gov't could do is send one relatively inept hacker to launch a DDoS against one web domain? A hacker who is now in jail? If anyone thinks that an attack that pathetic was an act of American government-sponsored cyberwarfare is out to lunch."But he has a talent for dramatising his context that cannot be underestimated." That is an understatement. Throughout this drama Assange has done a good job of painting himself and Wikileaks as the victims of the big, bad evil American government. Their free DNS provider gave Wikileaks 24 hours notice to move their site because the DDoS was affecting their other customers. Then the story is 'They're trying to shut us down.' But did they use the 24 hours notice to get the site moved without an outage? No. Then there's the sexual assault charges. Instead of Assange defending himself against the claims like a normal person would he says they're part of a government conspiracy to smear him. Don't buy into the Wikileaks spin. GVIrish Dec 13th 2010 Assange won't be tried for espionage. Remember Al Capone, who was tried for "tax evasion" because no other charges would stick? Assange wil be imprisoned for something totally unrelated to Wikileaks, that's how the US works. Mickie Rat Dec 13th 2010 It is to be feared that Assange might have a "tragic accident". If that happens, we will know who caused it...and he will be a martyr..and all hell will break loose. Mimi Forsyth Dec 13th 2010 Quality analysis Peter Dec 14th 2010 Quality analysis Peter Dec 14th 2010 The approach we took to punishing Osama bin Laden backfired.We're a less wealthy country, a weaker global power, which is just what he wanted.If we punish Assange, we'll destroy our notions of the free press and justice in one stroke.We'll be the hypocrites he wants to expose. We're not learning much these days. History will record this period as dismal. Robert Clawson Dec 14th 2010 Despite the cynicism no one here has recognized the enormous value that Assange and partners have done. If it were only the barbaric attack helicopter videos that were released last year to remind the high tech 'murderers' who were gaming with innocent human life then they've earned a spot in the corridors of heroic whistle blowers! But to those who suggest that because the US govt has demanded that Sweden/UK give Assange up for exposing their criminality these last 8 years, then wake up and smell the coffee! there's not a chance in hell that Interpol and those govts would have been able to incarcerate without bond nor hearing any man anywhere in the world for allegations of 'rape' from two consenting adult females, who even bragged they'd slept with him and even thru a party for him. What nonsense to believe that those governments have rushed in to defend the 'honor' of 2 'honey traps'. It's payback time which is best done in his case by accusing him of being a predator, as if his news leaks were the equivalent of UAV predators. Bravo to Assange, wikileaks and free speech. Miriam Dec 14th 2010 This analysis seems right on the mark to me. At this point it's in the interest of the U.S. government to keep Assange safe, although you'd never know that if you're listening to the howls for his head. William McPherson Dec 14th 2010 The US political establishment is already a global laughing stock. The hypocrisy in open view!The global lecturer on freedom committing treason on her own values and constitution! The long term consequences will be diminished US global influence and increased passive resistance of other governments. Assange is already a global hero and the world will watch very closely. If Assange disappears in a cell or some other way, the US government/political system will have lost all credibility! Maybe the US population will finally weak up and forcefully defend their precious freedoms against their government. Any future leak web site will operate in total anonymity as a corporation or foundation with no front man. Any prosecution attempt will run empty since it will operate under hundreds of mirror sites and in dozens of countries. It will even be protected under the US constitution since the US Supreme Court awarded legal person status to corporations. Obamas presidency will go down in right wing flames and he will surely be a one time president! diabolo Dec 14th 2010 seeing the lies,terror and murder of the USA isnt a pretty sight for Americans joe donahue Dec 14th 2010 All this proves for the world to see is that the United States is more concerned with protecting the sham facade of freedom and democracy than actually providing either to its citizens or the rest of the world.Ask any Iraqi who hasn't salted away US money under his mattress if he's better off since the illegal occupation of his country or ask Afghanis or Pakistanis whether they are fairing better than before the US interfered with their lives.The entire national security state needs to be dismantled before they start using the iron maiden against us. Matt Carmody Dec 14th 2010 get your sunglasses on folks the sunlight is going to be back in america! this will beobama's downfall if he prosecutes assange? the voting booths will be packed andan independent candidate who adopts this as part of bringing democracy backto the us will be a formidable candidate even on a federally financed campaign!this will do to obama what watergate did to nixon and many of the folks that aredenying you unemployment checks will be looking to get one for themselves.this could be the start to PEACEFUL REVOLUTION that we have needed sincethe 1800's! i am a union member at one of america's largest meanest anddemocratically ugly corps. on the planet. what i learned and took away isthat strikes are mini revolutions against power and the circumstancesunder which they happen by sharing common experiences with coworkersbonds people of all colors and religions together for life with a glue thatDOES NOT come apart under any circumstances! freedom is the thing that makesyou forget everything but your common dream and the victory that combinedstruggle makes happen. your soul will feel free in ways that you haven'tfelt since you were a child and still not propaganda sized! before thebombardment of mass media restricted your ability to recognize whatreally is the reality of life here in america! you will share cultures become smarterand know what the people around you are experiencing and they to you.this will help us overcome! can't wait. brian bayer Dec 14th 2010 Truly I am surprised that we have gone this long without "challenges" to the freedoms of the electronic media. I welcome those challenges as we will be living with this technology for a long while. The question of just what "Wikileaks" has accomplished is really a separate issue than freedom of comunication. My feeling is that despite dire warnings from many governments(not just the US) nothing of a great consequence has occur due to these "leaks". Recent data shows that the youngest of net users have a perfect understanding of the lack of privacy on the net. It is accepted because the alternatives are to grave to consider. The "leaks" remind us all that "common sense" is still seriously lacking amongst even our highest officials. Christine S.

And while their might be a liberal bias in newspapers, but how about talk radio? Its dominated by right wing entertainment. Rush Limbaugh makes 4 times the salary of Peyton Manning. And the internet is a free for all.
The point im making is, by and large it all balances out. I think the narrative of "sinister liberal media" should have died when Fox News started dominating the cable ratings.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
I love the implied logic. A gun is brought into a movie theater for the intention of killing, and that's positive news regarding guns?
You guys on that side of the argument are so warped and petrified you can't even sense what you're describing.
It's just another example -- among tens of thousands -- that guns are not utilized for the initial purpose. The fact that they are available 24/7/365 means they will be abused. In movie theaters and elsewhere. And an abused gun(s) means injury and death, far too often.
The fact that somebody else used a gun successfully in this particular case is irrelevant. There are going to be examples at the extremes, as I described weeks ago. I wrote that I was sure somebody used a gun on his first day of ownership while closing his eyes and aiming in the wrong direction. In cases like this we'll see counter examples of an over eager guard firing shots when none would have been fired to begin with from the original source.
The first guy is the issue, not the second guy. You've got to be an absolute fool to believe an increasing number of guns means less danger. Let's see, that family is bringing 8 guns into the store tomorrow, we only have 3. Honey, we'll have to stop after church and pick out 5. It can be a surprise for little Jimmy. He'll be thrilled.
Scary aspect is, that won't even read as absurdity to an increasing chunk of society. They've been brainwashed, and they're already dense and clueless toward probability. Jon Huntsman may not have been specifically referring to this topic but he was remarkably astute this weekend when he emphasized that the GOP was "devoid of a soul," and We cant be known as a party thats fear-based and doesnt believe in math.
1) Wall Street Journal (conservative)
2) USA Today (non-biased)
3) New York Times (liberal)
4) Los Angeles Times (historically a conservative paper, but trending more liberal in recent years)
5) San Jose Mercury News (not very familiar with them, but they endorsed Obama)
#6 is the New York Post, which is a famously conservative paper.
Journalism is a business, and like any business supply is always proceeded by demand. To argue that the media as a whole or newspapers generally are liberal is to say that liberals read more newspapers or digest more media. I doubt that's what you're intending to argue. One aspect of the media that is provably liberal are news magazines such as Time. Those are read predominantly by college graduates, who trend liberal. But... conservatives hold sway over talk radio, because more conservatives than liberals like to get their news that way.
The media doesn't fight back on the charge of bias, so conservatives have been able to perpetuate this false myth with great success. The liberal counterattack against Fox News has been similarly successful, but unfortunately that hasn't really fixed the problem, which in my view is the notion that objectivity is anything but a dangerous fallacy.

Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
In this case it is a good thing that someone was able to stop this ******* before he could kill more people. It is kind of surprising that this story didn't receive national news coverage.
Happy New Year everyone!

Does anyone have any links for design, parts sources at a discount, etc.?
I am planning a flat bed utility trailer with 2 3500lb. axles. I want to use tubing rather than channel for the structure to have a stronger/lighter trailer. Planning on torsion axles, led lighting, etc. Size will be 16'x7'ish, enough to allow for the fenders and tires. I was planning on using 2x4 .120 wall tubing for the structure. Questions I would have include proper design of the frame, weight distribution, axle placement (fore and aft), etc.
Any sources, links or suggestions would be appreciated.

try Northern Tool or East Marine
Both of the companies have considerable parts available. East Marine also calls itself "Trailer Superstore" or something similar. They have axles in just about any length in case you make something odd-sized. I have a cargo trailer and have also made an open 4'x8' trailer. Northern Tool also has blueprints for about $25 to $40 depending on design. Good Luck
Trailer questions
I too, would like to know if there is any secrets to designing a flat bed trailer - I think some refer to them as "Landscape" trailers.
Any how I'd like to build a 12' x 5' bed trailer, with an 'A' frame coupler, and I'm debating tandem 2000 pound axles. The questions I have are; How do you determine the placing of the axle assemblies. (center of gravity stuff)? By eye balling several ready made trailers, it appears that the single axle is placed 2/3 back from the front edge of the bed. Is this correct? What about the tandem placement?

Axle Placement
I would think placement would depend on how you were going to load it, you want to avoid excess tounge weight, yet you need some to keep the trailer from going squirrely on you(for ball hitches). if your not sure how your going to load up the bed, try to split the deck length with the center of your axle(s)... on a different note make sure to keep your tounge length approx. 60% of the width of the tow vehicle, so when you turn tight you don't hit
Good Luck!!

This is the type of info I need!
Will the 2x4 Box be strong enough for the structure? I am planning using the 2.4 box to both support the deck and be the structural frame rather than the traditional frame under deck design. I'll try and draw up my idea to post for critique.Dynasty 200DX

2x4 s plenty big enough but if its 16ga. then H**** no! imop it should be at least .120 wall 0r thicker depending what you hall. if your hauling, for example, a skidstear day in and day out then you should probably upsize to 3/16.
just my 2 cents

I was planning on .120 wall and no way is a skid loader going on this trailer! I have a Jeep project that will be under 3000lbs. that will hauled on it. Then just odds and ends, 2x4s, hardwood, sheeting, whatever. Maybe motorcycles but never more than the 7000lbs. that the axles will handle (including the trailer itself). So, it would need to be able to safely handle 7000 lbs. plus a safety margin. I don't want some flexy trailer either, needs to stay flat and ridgid.Dynasty 200DX

Here's some info for you -
You definitely want to price out what you intend to build vs. what you can
buy. Lots of people selling stuff off these days.
Check Ebay and Craigslist.

Youth under supervision of the juvenile department need support to increase their skills and competencies in leading a productive, healthy, educated, planful, sober and employable lifestyleWe need both individuals to support english speaking youth and those who are bi-lingual, mono-lingual and bi-cultural.If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us at 503-588-5219. Additional volunteer opportunites are available through: givebacktoday.org
All volunteers are required to pass a criminal history background check.Opportunities to volunteer include:
The Juvenile Department has benefited from having Master of Social Work graduate student interns volunteering during their academic year in Counseling Services, for two days a week each. Services provided have included individual and family counseling, facilitating skill-building groups for teens, and parenting classes. Those served were youth and families involved with the Juvenile Department who had limited counseling resources and were able to benefit by receiving counseling related services through the Department. Graduate student interns allow expansion of counseling services provided to Department clients.
Adult hikers volunteered to help take youths from the Juvenile Department on day hikes on trails in the Cascade and Coast mountain ranges. During the year, the volunteers assisted staff with six different hikes. Volunteers help plan where the hike will take place and then hike alongside the youths offering encouragement and companionship while participating. For many of the youths this is a first-ever hike.
In turn, the Juvenile Department sends volunteers into the community. GAP has an active youth volunteer component in the unit. The opportunity to volunteer is earned by the youth. It is not a requirement. Juvenile Department youth have given their services to:
OakCrest Rehabilitation Center
AgFest - An agricultural fair
Marion County Fair
Paintback - graffiti paintover
Earth Day activities
Union Gospel Mission
Salem Police Department - Anti-graffiti campaign
Salem Bike Lanes
Food Bank
Silverton Food Bank
Youth feel positive and connected to their community when they can give of themselves and their time. As research has shown, attachment to the community is a protective factor against future criminality. Rewards seen by youth volunteers include:
"Satisfaction and work experience for the future" - Ruby "People always tell me that I'm doing a great job and I'm working hard". - Valerie "... seeing the looks on people's faces when we delivered wood and other things." - Sam
"Satisfaction and work experience for the future" - Ruby "People always tell me that I'm doing a great job and I'm working hard". - Valerie "... seeing the looks on people's faces when we delivered wood and other things." - Sam
We hope this is an attitude they will carry with them after they leave department supervision.

Combining technical excellence with a bold esthetic, the new Gouverneur line expresses Piaget's quintessential expertise and historical values. As part of the Black Tie watch collection, it follows the tradition of shaped cases in a classic design, housing mechanical movement and complications that form part of the entire design, developed and produced by the Manufacture. With the Gouverneur watch, Piaget reveals a brand new case merging a circle and an oval in a subtly balanced design. The alternating shapes are repeated until the center of the dial creating a sophisticated, soft and harmonious structure, evoking both perfection and innovation. Equipped with the new 882P caliber, ultra-thin mechanical automatic movement, this Gouverneur chronograph watch has a distinctive configuration with two counters, reminiscent of retro models. In addition to the flyback chronograph functions, it displays hours, minutes, a second time zone and the date. For the ultimate in sophistication, the rose-gold oscillating weight stamped with the Piaget coat-of-arms is in perfect harmony with the elegant color of the case.
882P Movement
The 882P movement is one of the thinnest chronograph movements available at only 5.6 mm thick. As part of the very exclusive world of major watchmaking complications the chronograph movement, is distinguished by its flyback mechanism, a highly precise function which allows for the chronograph to be reset without interruption. By one simple push, the minute and central seconds hands "fly back" to zero and automatically begin a new cycle. The 882P chronograph movement is enhanced with two barrels, a balance with screws, a balance stop and an oscillating weight decorated with a rose-colored Piaget coat of arms. It is also equipped with a second time zone (with 24-hour time display) placed at 9 o'clock. Its chronograph is governed by a column wheel, to coordinate all its phases, and a vertical clutch system assuring the utmost precision. The flat, overlapping surfaces of the two disks that make up the movement are driven directly, thus avoiding jumping needles and any unnecessary expenditure of the power reserve. To complete the movement's functions, the frequency has been increased for better precision. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the beveled bridges, the blued screws and the rose oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat of arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the esthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Summer Field Institute for High School Students
Earn College Credit in the Most Beautiful Places on Earth
College of the Atlantic's Summer Field Institute includes three distinctive programs for rising high school juniors and seniors: Islands Through Time, Rivers: A Wilderness Odyssey, and Farm to Fork: Understanding Our Food. Our classrooms include canoes on the river, farm fields, rocky island shores and the woods and waters of Maine and Acadia National Park. Here students explore the connections between science, art, and the humanities while they engage in an intensive program combining academic work with field experiences. These programs will provide you with opportunities to reflect on your place in the world and develop skills you will use in college and beyond.
College of the Atlantic focuses on human ecology - the relationship between humans and our environments. Each Summer Field Institute program explores its central theme using an interdisciplinary approach: for instance, you may spend the morning discussing a novel about life on a remote island, and spend the afternoon exploring the shore of that same island, spotting whales and identifying seabirds and their nesting grounds.
All programs have a component that takes place on the COA campus and Mount Desert Island, which includes Acadia National Park. In addition, students spend time on extended trips to the college's island research stations, our organic farms, or the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine.
Our programs are designed for rising juniors and seniors who:
- Are curious about the world and ready to engage
- Have strong academic backgrounds and are excited about learning
- Want to be challenged
- Think outside of the box
- Value learning both inside and outside the classroom
- Want to change the world and help create a more sustainable future
Are you ready for the challenge?

ANNOUNCING: The 2010 Inhabitat Spring Greening Contest Winners!
They came, they saw, they designed. The 2010 Spring Greening Design Competition challenging designers and crafters to transform useless junk into new treasures yielded an amazing crop of creative DIY designs, but there could only be one grand prize winner, and you, our fabulous readers, have voiced your choice! Want to know if your favorite design won? Read on to find out!
READER'S CHOICE GRAND PRIZE: Soda Bottle Lamps by Sarah Turner!!!
Sarah Turner's lamps made from recycled soda bottles received a whopping 3674 votes from our readers, wowing you guys with their dazzling intricacy and poppy modern looks. Sarah will be taking home a sweet $250 gift certificate to the Inhabitatshop for her "enlightening" design!
Metropolis Magazine editor (and one of our esteemed judges) Susan Szenasy said this about Sarah's lamps: "Sarah Turner has clearly thought about the versatility and beauty of her material. She treats it like a designer treats materials: experimenting with its various possibilities for form making and pattern making."
EDITOR'S CHOICE GRAND PRIZE: Elasticshelf by SystemDesignStudio
Our readers weren't the only ones who voted – we had an illustrious panel of judges from prominent design blogs and magazines, and the final tally of their votes gave the prize to the Elasticshelf by SystemDesignStudio. This clever and elegant shelf uses defunct bicycle tires stretched between two used furniture legs to provide fun and easy storage space for books and doodads.
Designboom editor Birgit Lohmann had this to say about the Elasticshelf: "The Elasticshelf brings together an unexpected use of materials, to create a visually interesting shelving system. Its simple design is practical and adaptable and can be executed by just about anyone requiring minimal tooling – it is what a DIY project should be about."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A naked man walking reportedly around outside of an Orange motel was arrested for public intoxication and possession of marijuana early Monday morning, April 7 at shortly after 1 a.m.
Police say a naked man high on PCP broke into a family member's home Thursday morning, May 9.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

A Calvert County woman wanted for missing court on a St. Mary's traffic citation was arrested last Thursday as she left a hospital, court papers state, by law officers who searched her belongings and charged her with seven misdemeanor drug offenses.
Melissa Anne Ridgell, 33, of Lusby eventually was released Friday from St. Mary's jail on personal recognizance to await a hearing on the charges of illegally possessing oxycodone hydrochloride, three forms of alprazolam and drug paraphernalia items including two syringes, a metal tablespoon and a cut plastic straw.
Ridgell was being discharged Thursday from MedStar St. Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown when police arrived and arrested her for missing court on a November 2012 charge of driving with a suspended license, according to online court records and a statement of probable cause filed by St. Mary's sheriff's deputy Timothy Snyder. Ridgell denied owning the two syringes found in her purse, court papers state, and she continually drifted off to sleep while being booked at the county jail.

The Charles County commissioners unveiled Thursday the first conceptual phase of the Waldorf Urban Redevelopment Corridor, the first public showcasing of an initiative that began six years ago to transform Waldorf into a mixed-use, transit-oriented downtown.
About 100 people attended a luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn in Waldorf to catch a glimpse of the 300-acre WURC, which as planned would extend between Acton Lane and Route 5, with U.S. 301 and the CSX rail tracks acting as its east and west borders.
The sister component to the county's long-held goal of building a light rail line that links to Metro service, the WURC will ultimately feature two zones at either end, though the initial phase centers on a walkable, 26-acre downtown area to the north of Route 5 and along Old Washington Road.
A market analysis determined the "Waldorf Central Zone" could support 659,000 total square feet of mixed-use residential, commercial office and retail space, said Keith Weaver, associate principal of EDSA, a global firm with a Baltimore office specializing in planning, landscape architecture and urban design.
Commercial spaces identified include a 60,000-square-foot specialty grocer such as Trader Joe's or Harris Teeter, a 100-room executive hotel; a 20,000-square-foot fitness center, a handful of full-service restaurants and a few taverns, Weaver said. They would each sit on the ground floor of two- to five-story buildings, with the remaining floors dedicated to residential apartments or condominiums, Weaver said. Parking garages for each block partially would be wrapped inside the building, concealing all but one side of the garage.
The commercial-residential blocks would be complemented by a 1,500-seat civic arts center, public square, wetland nature park and public market.
A revamped street grid would feature tree-lined "complete streets" with sidewalks, bikeways and parallel parking spaces for shoppers.
"I feel I've seen the future of Charles County, and this is it," said Commissioner Ken Robinson (D), who expects the WURC to down the line serve as a model for additional redevelopment in county.
Weaver compared the initiative to the kind of transit-oriented development that has occurred in Charlotte, N.C., since its 9.6-mile light rail line opened in 2007.
"You've heard about the light rail initiative, and you've heard about the downtown Waldorf initiative. The catalyst for each of those is the other," said former county commissioner Gary Hodge, now a consultant working on the WURC and light rail projects. "We can't fulfill this vision for downtown Waldorf without at the same time fulfilling the vision of high-capacity, fixed-route transit, and vice versa."
Noting the presence of Maryland Department of Planning Secretary Rich Hall, Hodge also stressed the role the state will play in funding the project. As a result of the gas tax increase approved by the legislature last spring, the state has already budgeted $5 million for a study to examine transit options linking Waldorf and the Branch Avenue Metro station in Marlow Heights.
The study represents the next phase of planning for the light rail project, Hodge said.
"That won't be enough money," he added. "We'll probably need $25 million [to complete planning]. But as a down payment and a first installment, that gets us started on this next phase, which is crucially important. Before we can compete for federal dollars, we have to deliver an exhaustive and thorough planning process that justifies the expenditure of capital money required to build a light rail system."
After the presentation, Hodge estimated it would be 12 years before a light rail train actually comes through Waldorf, but that design bids could be solicited from transit-oriented developers within a year.

Comments On Dec 31, 2014:I have owned a cheapo head sock aka balaclava, wore it for years. Wife got me the Klim one for Christmas. Its amazing, tucks down into a jacket and fits much better around the collar. And is less bulky under the helmet than the cheap ones.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 19, 2014:I have about literally 15 balaclavas to try to prevent fogging of my glasses. Most successful was a cheap neoprene half mask, but not very warm. I tried the Klim Arctic and Covert, but the Covert made my glasses fog immediately so I bought the Arctic and it seems to be the real deal so far. It's a little warm and makes your helmet fit tight, but it works, and I can't say that for any others I've tried. I would buy again.

Do you believe in one love of your life?
Is there really only one love of your life?
is there really such a thing as finding 'the one'?
Is there really just one special, magical, perfect soul mate? Or do we perhaps get a few kicks at the old soul mate can?
Roy Bourque
Aug 3 2013: I like Deepak Behl's answer.
- +2
I believe that my first wife was my soul mate. We had so much in common that it was as if we had known each other for many years. I lost her to an accident three and a half years after we were married. The fact that her death was foreseen by my roommate four years before I met her left me to wondering what we don't know about life.
I never stopped believing in love and will be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary with my second wife. Although we have less in common than I would like, I am committed to her by what Deepak refers to as spiritual love. I put God first and my own desires second. It hasn't failed me yet.Aug 2 2013: I'm reminded of a Community quote by Jeff to answer this question... I don't remember the quote, but my comment will have practically the same idea.
I don't know what love is. Not trying to sound depressed nor do I want your pity, I just simply don't know what it means. I think there are so many songs about love because it is so open to interpretation and so vague. I wouldn't be able to say I believe even in love, since I don't know what it is. If I did for the sake of the question, I wouldn't believe in one love. This is mainly because if there is only one love, there is very little chance I'd meet her. There'd be a higher chance she'd speak my language, but it's not certain. If only one love is whittled down to only people you meet, then what if I was depressed that day. Not promoting incest, but what if my one love was a family member? I know these are hypotheticals, but I wouldn't say they aren't likely to actualize.
Thanks for the question!
Sophia BAE
Aug 2 2013: Yes:) It is really true that interpretating love is opening to eveyone. It depends on who think of and feel.
- +1
But "love" is great by itself. It makes people go from one extreme to another. Strange but beautiful.
Son Huynh
Aug 1 2013: I don't know for others but for me I believe there is "the one" in our lives who we feel more connected than wtih anyone else. It does not have to be a lover or the one you are dating, it can be a friend or a great teacher or someone who would understand you more than anyone else in the world.
- +2
It would be lucky to have your soul mate as your lover/partner. But it is rare.

I believe in such a thing, it is called Love of Allah.
Through Him, all other things are put into the right place.
What do you think?
Aug 18 2013: Hi Johny
"I believe in such a thing, it is called Love of Allah"
Q1:what is your definition of Allah, is that a subjective definition?.
Through Him, all other things are put into the right place
Q2: I know people who have theirown defition of Allah (God) and they do beleive in it, but their life is a misery...
i think our definiton of Allah is to a large extent related to intrinsic tendency of human being to infinity..and pitfalls that we find in our lives...

Aug 23 2013: Allah has a sense of humor lol
wayne uejio
Aug 5 2013: yes, you can have more than one love and i do not mean sex. The soul changes with life experience so if your mate does not change you will grow apart. if you both grow and you embrace the growth, your soul mate will be together.
- +1
Do i believe in the magic occurring in a moment, yes and no. You can grow together or know you should be together, you hope forever.
Sophia BAE
Aug 5 2013: One love of my life. It dose not have to be only human beings. It could be an animal, the nature or my habits or something else. Human cannot live without relationships with others. There must be someone, something which attract your whole attention. Find it and get it:)Aug 4 2013: i think it does'nt related to believe or don't. it depends on the situation. maybe you and your love, loving each other till end of your life or you divorce after 6 months and you be in love with another , but i think that when people get married they think that they have only one love and that person is their wife or husband but after a while everything can be changed.
- +1
i dont think there is a lost love for one person or sth like this but when people are in love with sb they say "she is my lost half "and ... they create these stories.
you can't decide before weeding or before falling in love that she or he is your only love forever ,or not ,
Nadav Tropp
Aug 2 2013: I believe that one can be perfectly satisfied with one love in their life (though there were and still are many cultures which would gladly settle for more than one, though its socially unacceptable in most of the developed world these days).
- +1
That is not however, the same as there being only one possible ideal candidate out there. Which is a good thing, because otherwise the statistics of ending up together simply don't work unless you have some supernatural entity personally managing the whole thing.
Waiting until fate fixes your life for you typically doesn't end well in my experience. Settling for nothing short of perfect is also a great way to end up alone. Worse still, the first tends to lead to the second.Aug 2 2013: No. I used to believe it once but not anymore. One love of life is completely un-human.
1. Because human mind does not honestly work that way.
2. If love is as great as they say, it will be tremendously selfish to shower it on one person.Aug 1 2013: No, I believe love can be found in many different people. All that is required is an attraction and some commonality, i.e. background, history, interests etc. But once found, it requires commitment to be true love.

"Love" is the execution of symbiosis:
4. Parenting (Primary Symbiosis)
Parenting is the first or starting period of primary symbiosis of a newborn person's life.
5. Sexual Love (Primary Symbiosis)
Sexual love is an essential component of the second period of primary symbiosis in a person's life.
6. Marriage (Primary Symbiosis)
Marriage is one of the most important parts of human primary symbiosis.
A. Origin
Marriage was originated after biological evolution progressed from asexual propagation to sexual one. It is so because the sexual propagation can cope with all kinds of difficulties much easier than the asexual one.
a. Husband
The husband half is biologically assigned in charge of food-seeking, habitat constructing, defending, donating all kinds of co-body-safety messages ceaselessly to his wife (kissing, embracing, and so on) .
His ability and smartness come mainly from the ceaseless intimate encouragement of the other half of the marriage ---- the wife.
b. Wife
The wife is biologically assigned in charge of the child bearing, child bring up, house hold, and etc.
She transfers all the physical substantial materials from her own body into the baby's. Also, she exhausts all her spiritual energy to bring up the baby or child ---- the DNA-carrier of both the husband and wife.
That is where her mother-greatness and beauty come from.
Her beauty and virtue are support-enhanced by the ceaseless intimate co-body message from the other half of the marriage ---- the husband.
This is the right way that the husband and wife of a marriage work; and the right way that happy life of the couple comes from.
Then, there will be no issue of gender equality at all.
7. Friendship (Secondary Symbiosis)

Jul 31 2013: No. There are 7.14 BILLION people on this planet. The only way you can believe in having only one love of your life is if you only have one love of your life and you don't want to have any other love of your life and refuse to believe in any other love of your life.

Aug 1 2013: Thanks. You should be careful with that watermelon you're eating; it's almost as big as your face. Take a smaller piece, like this :?Jul 31 2013: Love is an emotional state of being, but I think to achieve its highest level you need to commit yourself to one person. Consequently, at any one time, i think there should only be one love of your life..romantic love.
- +1
Finding the one? Sure! it is possible. But to know, you would need to compare all possible options or get very lucky. More often, you find someone that is attractive to you for some reason, and then as you learn more about each other, you relationship grows into love. It is quite possible to find more than one person attractive. This attraction may or may not into love, depending on what your requirements for achieving this level of happiness with another person, and conversely, their requirements for achieving this level of happiness with you. There is probably a great deal of overlap between the characteristics and features of a person and personality that will generate such feelings in another person, but since we are all different, the exact mix varies slightly. When is it enough for true love? Well, that also varies by person.
Is there just one? Probably not, but losing true love might create some emotional scars that make finding true love again more difficult as your requirements for achieving the same level of happiness are now more extensive and refined. Some of the requirements might also require a malleable list of requirements to give slight differences between the two loves (old,new) a chance at becoming part of a new package that can generate the feelings of true love.
With some matches, it just clicks instantly and seems right quickly. With others, it takes a bit of time to mature. Both are possible and probable. Again, it depends on the people involved.Aug 31 2013: Love is not possessed. It is not owned. It is not a bond that binds two. It is the very ground state of everything. If this is not your experience, you cannot Seek this Love. It must be uncovered by the obstacles that cover it. Seeking a soul mate is one of those obstacles.Aug 31 2013: You'll never be able to answer this question without first defining what love is....
In fact even if you do you'll still have a hard time answering this, as the definition will be subjective.
To get hard scientific evidence for the definition, a non-subjective view, you could look at the chemical changes that happen to a person who says they are in love, that may get you the definition. But know those chemical changes are the same changes that occur when you eat chocolate.
So is chocolate.. love? Is there a perfect 'the one' bar? Are we being "unfaithful" if we swap brands? Can we ever have a monogamous relationship with chocolate as there are so many forms, drinking, cakes, bars, sprinkles, baking, light, dark, etc etc etc. And why is chocolate a rarity in being available in so many forms. What does that say about us?Aug 30 2013: Love is when you care even when you dont want to.? Love is hard. Sometimes I hate to love other times its all been worth it.

Aug 24 2013: Hi Tali
Hahahahaaa...whatt.....i mean whatttt....
yeahh..i guess you can say that...
cheers...Aug 23 2013: Yes absolutely! However, this doesn't mean we are not capable of falling in love more than once. Life is a journey and we meet many people during our stay here on earth. We dislike many, like some and fall in love with a handful. Out of this handful I believe is one who is the love of our live. If we recognize that person and treasure them then our life would be complete and beautiful.
The problem with most of us is that we are too busy concentrating on the shortcomings of the other person that we fail to see that they not only complete us but also make us better human beings. Before we even know it, we lose the love of our live and are stuck in an endless quest for true love. Most of us live through life without even knowing that true love had come into our lives, but we let it go because of our pettiness. We do fall in love with other people, and no matter what some people would like to call it: it's still love! But we can never feel the same way that we did with out true love.
Most of us will just accept true love as an illusion and resign ourselves to a demeaning and sad fate of emptiness and hatred. I only wish they taught about love in schools. Love should be a core subject throughout the academic spectrum. Just imagine how wonderful this world would be if only we all discovered our true love, and cared enough to make it last for a life time!
Just imagine a world in which everyone felt loved, and loved someone very dearly to ensure that no one or nothing spoiled this beautiful world that their loved ones lived in.
Well, it's a Utopian dream but I do wish at least our children were given a better chance at building a world full of love. They need to be taught from our experiences and heartaches.
What do you all have to say about making human sciences, with a focus on human relations and the intricacies of love, as a core subject in schools and colleges?
I have a lot of ideas to share and questions to ask. Waiting for TED to be back from vacations. :)Aug 18 2013: Friend,
You are asking me to define God; I wonder if you see the impossible task you put in front of me.
It is difficult enough to define Love, as we think we can, let alone God.
I don't live among definitions, but among realities.
Realities are undefinable, a definition merely points to the reality, it does not create it by defining it.
When you are born, Reality exists before you learn how to define/conceptualize it. Even the concept of Reality does not exist in your mind. Nothing exists apart from your sensorial experience.
Defining something is shaping reality into a mental concept. When we conceptualize, we objectify and in doing so we create the illusion of the subjective/objective experience. I hope you see that. Prior to this, All is One.
The concept cannot substitute for Reality.
Trouble is we are too busy defining and conceptualizing reality and using concepts as a source of TRUTH rather than Reality itself. You cannot grasp reality, but rather be in it. We use concepts believing that we can grasp something, but you cant. Having the concept of AIR cannot help you grasp the air you breathe.
Now, God is the Reality that we try to shape into the concept of God. But that Reality is untouchable by thought, incomprehensible by concept. Yet it is within us and we, within it, it interpenetrates all things.
The difficulty for us humans is that we want to grasp and control it, to have a sense of power over it, to tell it what to do and play with it like a toy. But we can't, if we think we can, we deceive ourselves. That is why the book of TAO says that TAO is like water, it is an infinite flow without source or destination. But our conceptualizing mind cannot handle that, it can only handle limited experiences. So we try to limit the Unlimited so that we can grasp it conceptually. But we fail. The moment we wake up to this fact, we behold Reality (God). Then we can see all things as they are, including soul mate, but not the soul mate of our concepts.Aug 18 2013: Actually. What do you define as "True Love"? Is "True Love" a subjective experience, or can it be measured (in some way)? Is there any difference between ordinary love and "True Love"?
Bernard.Aug 18 2013: Hello Mohammad:>)
I suspect this question is like many other questions we have about the life experience, in that it depends on what an individuals perception/belief is?
If we are open to the possibility of more than one love or soul mate, that may be what we create and/or attract in our life. If we believe that there is only one love/soul mate, there will be no room in our heart and mind for another. I prefer to be open to possibilities:>)
Aug 18 2013: Hi Colleen
I hope you are fine..
"I suspect this question is like many other questions we have about the life experience, in that it depends on what an individuals perception/belief is?"
yes it is, you know that i like to challange common sense..concerning my nowadays life this question come up, is it really good to be in a relationship...?..in some cultures, like Iran people are really stric about one love of their life who is their wife, or husband,,and clearly society support that...and it works,,,but living abroad got me to this conclusion that i don't feel good when i am in a relationship...and the more i spend time with absolute strangers the more i enjoy...
"If we are open to the possibility of more than one love or soul mate, that may be what we create and/or attract in our life. If we believe that there is only one love/soul mate, there will be no room in our heart and mind for another. I prefer to be open to possibilities"
I think love is a kind of sickness....the reason why i usually feel pain when i am in love..
a conscious relationship....spending time with absolute strangers....kissing beautiful people that you don't know at all...is the best form of relationship to me...
warm regards
Aug 18 2013: Hi Mohammad:>)
I am fine....thank you.....and I hope the same for you my friend. I am aware that you like to challenge and explore Mohammad, and I admire that in you:>)
Perhaps you do not feel good in relationship because you have not met the person with whom you feel good, and perhaps you are not meant to be in one relationship. Based on our conversations, it feels like I know enough about you to know that you have good intuition and a logical mind, so you KNOW about yourself and can make good choices by considering all information.
I do not agree that love is a sickness, and I DO agree that it can be challenging at times. Be careful going around kissing strangers my friend! LOL:>)Aug 18 2013: No. Marriage should be a 10 year contract. "One True Love" is just false.
Aug 18 2013: Hi Bernard
"No. Marriage should be a 10 years contract. "One True Love" is just false."
Q: i guess 10 years is to some people 5 years, to some body 1 year, and nowdays 1 week to 1 day...
is this the evolution of relationships?....(of course some people who believe in one love of life might call it something else..)
Aug 18 2013: To be honest, I was paraphrasing Bertrand Russell. The contract can be renewed of-course! :-)
It's just most people don't love eachother at a constant level for a long period of time! (Does that make sense?).
So for instance if I got married I may love them lots at the beginning, but 5 years in think it was a mistake.Aug 16 2013: Hi Mohammad,
My story Charismatic Connection is about Chris and I who recognized each other at the deepest level. However,our personalities were in pretty bad shape. Chris was a very close soul mate of mine. Chris died 12 years ago, it has taken me years to ready myself for another encounter with an eternal loved one. Feel free to grab a copy of Charismatic Connection www.amazon.com/dp/1478397691/ . I would like to know would you think of my unique experience.
Aug 18 2013: Dear Serene
I was impressed by the fact that you are a successful writer, thank you for asking me to have comment on your book,I will buy and read your book as soon as possible.
Best Regards
Aug 18 2013: Thank you Mohammad!
My goal is to keep the conversation going...Please stay in touch.
Warm Regards,
SerenaAug 15 2013: What most people think of as the one love: is truly the deepest most profound eternal mate!
However, this profound spiritual love is Not common!
It takes a tremendous amount of understanding one's dysfunction and transforming that.It takes an understanding of the masculine and feminine mind within one's self and connecting with the soul.
We have only One other half of our spiritual self but many soul mates. They come into our lives to wake us up to our spiritual nature. If you have an attraction to someone become aware of the energy of your body-if it is below the waist first , it is just a sexual attraction and nothing more.
Read Charismatic Connection: The Authentic Soul Mate Experience to uncover the knowledge and obstacles for an amazing encounter with our eternal loved ones...www.serenajade.com.
Aug 16 2013: Hi Serena
"If you have an attraction to someone become aware of the energy of your body-if it is below the waist first , it is just a sexual attraction and nothing more."
I think sexuI attraction is sth beautiful, and we can have it all?.... like a process of synchronization...
Aug 16 2013: Hi Mohammad,
Yes, a sexual attraction is beautiful! However, a soul mate "sees" the other person's eternal being first then the sexual attraction. Believe me another person CANNOT compete with that intensity!
Warm Regards,
Aug 16 2013: Serena
"Yes, a sexual attraction is beautiful! However, a soul mate "sees" the other person's eternal being first then the sexual attraction."
so, you believe that there is the one out there for anybody?...may i ask that...have you found yours?
"Believe me another person CANNOT compete with that intensity!"
you mean, there is only one soul mate?
Kind Regards

59: Graduation
Title text: Opening dialogue by Scott
Robert Frost wrote the poem The Road Not Taken, about a road splitting two ways. One way was well traveled, the other was less worn. Blonde is taking the more traveled path. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, so she is going to follow what is known, go to grad school. Graduate school is the next level of education after undergraduate work, where students pursue a master's or doctoral degrees.
Megan, on the other hand, has decided to become a lighthouse operator. Which is a path that is becoming increasingly less traveled. Fewer people need lighthouses. Before GPS technology, lighthouses were invaluable markers of where the sea ended and where land began. Megan likes the idea of being the maid in the highest tower. Except, most fantasies portray the maid in the tower to be helpless, but operating a lighthouse is far from helpless. It can be one of the most needed jobs for sea-farers to find their way back home.
Other comics with a similar theme about taking unexplored paths include 137: Dreams and 267: Choices: Part 4.
- [Megan and a blonde are talking]
- Blonde: What do you want to do when you graduate ?
- Megan: I want to become a lighthouse operator.
- Blonde: Oh ?
- Megan: Yeah.
- [cut to scene of lighthouse with text overlaid]
- Megan: Lighthouses are built on interesting pieces of coast, so I'll have an interesting place to walk and swim, and great views of all kinds of weather. I'd feel good about myself and my work every single day.
- [cut back to the two girls]
- Megan: I'd get to be the girl in the tower, only I'd be the one rescuing people.
- Megan: Why. What do you want to do ?
- Blonde: I'm going to grad school. I don't really know why.
- Megan: Wanna come hang in my lighthouse over breaks ?
- Blonde: ...yeah.

This is very likely not Miss Lenhart. Her hair is the same, but the official transcript simply calls her "blonde", she's clearly a somewhat aimless student and not a teacher, and the strip does not fit the pattern stated as a certainty on her character page, where she is specifically named in every appearance. Also, this is a very early comic where Randall likely didn't have future characters in mind yet. So, I'm removing her name from the transcript. - jerodast (talk) 14:38, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- Randall talks about Miss Lenhart only a few months later, in 135: Substitute. It's impossible for us to know whether he had her in mind or not at this time, but the character ambiguity is standard for xkcd (not less so in the early ones). Since she is at least relevant in any investigation of Miss Lenhart, I'll include her in the categories, and it'll be open for everyone to make up their own minds! –St.nerol (talk) 20:37, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Air Force officials are encouraging active-duty Airmen who are eligible to re-enlist, extend their current enlistment, retire or separate in March to complete these personnel actions through the myPers website and their base military personnel sections by Feb. 15 to avoid processing delays and military pay issues.
Airmen need to accomplish these actions because the Air Force is upgrading and transferring the Military Personnel Data System to the Defense Information Systems Agency's Defense Enterprise Computing Center in March. The upgrade project is scheduled to take about 23 days to complete, during which time, MilPDS will not be available.
MilPDS is the records database for personnel data and actions that occur throughout every total force Airman's career. MilPDS is also used to initiate Airman pay actions, maintain Air Force accountability and strength data. MilPDS also supports a host of interactions with other active duty, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard systems and processes that rely on this personnel data.
Re-enlistments and enlistment extensions
Re-enlistment-eligible Airmen or Airmen with permanent-change-of-station or retraining orders should contact their base MPS and initiate their re-enlistment or enlistment extension paperwork by Feb. 15.
"Airmen who accomplish their re-enlistment or enlistment extension by Feb. 15 should not experience interruptions in their pay because their servicing MPS can process all appropriate transactions prior to the MilPDS upgrade," said Michael McLaughlin, the Air Force Personnel Center re-enlistments branch chief. "Getting these personnel transactions completed and into the Defense Finance and Accounting Service system are the fastest means to update an Airman's pay and entitlements, which will reduce the need for DFAS to correct an Airman's pay record."
Airmen can re-enlist or extend their enlistment during the upgrade in March, but they may experience additional delays in processing these transactions to DFAS if their date of separation expires during the MilPDS upgrade period.
The Air Force processes more than 60,000 re-enlistments and enlistment extensions annually.
Active-duty retirements and separations
AFPC officials are also encouraging active-duty Airmen who are eligible to apply for retirement or request a voluntary separation in March to initiate these personnel actions through the virtual Military Personnel Flight application on the myPers website at http://mypers.af.mil as soon as possible.
"While a short-notice separation or retirement can be processed manually, we would like Airmen to be proactive and apply as soon as possible to process their request," said Maj. Michael Meek, the AFPC retirements and separations branch chief. "Typically, Airmen can apply for voluntary separation or retirement up to one year out."
Airmen will notice minimal processing delays if they initiate their retirement or voluntary separation applications before March. Processing these applications early will help base MPSs reduce their backlog of transactions to process after the MilPDS upgrade is completed. Airmen who intend to voluntarily separate or retire can have their approved dates of separation updated and potentially avoid being selected for a deployment or assignment.
The Air Force processes about 12,000 retirements and 23,000 separations annually.
Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard members
Air Force Reserve members are not required to take any immediate actions unless they are notified by their MPS. MPSs will receive specific instructions on critical personnel and pay processes related to accessions, unit training assemblies and participation, mobilizations and activations and casualties. These processes will continue to function during the upgrade. Other personnel and pay processes will be held during the cutover period and processed once the upgrade is complete. Servicing MPSs will notify their affected members as soon as possible of any required personnel actions. More information is available on the ARPC public website at http://www.arpc.afrc.af.mil and the myPers website at http://mypers.af.mil.
Air Force officials will continue to release additional information and guidance to the Air Force's manpower, personnel, services and pay communities and total force Airmen to continue to educate them on how the service will perform critical personnel and pay tasks during the MilPDS upgrade.
For more information about the MilPDS upgrade, visit the myPers website at http://mypers.af.mil.

"Do you like Jack in the Box?"
It's around noon in the Rancho Park neighborhood of Los Angeles as Liam Hemsworth, the 22-year-old star of The Hunger Games, greets me in the parking lot of a public golf course for a round of par 3. He's filling me in on his morning, which included sleeping late, borrowing Miley Cyrus' black SL550 Mercedes (she's his girlfriend of two and a half years), and taking it to the drive-thru for a hamburger with mayo-onion dressing, this rising actor's breakfast of champions.
"I'm not even hungover, but I was super-super-super-hungry," Liam says, proudly pointing at the crumpled wrapper and bag on the floor of the Disney Queen of Tween's $100,000 convertible.
He is six feet three with Malibu-blond hair, azure-blue eyes, and the laid-back vibe of a 2012 Hollister-clad Jeff Spicoli. In short: the all-American surf look Hollywood now imports from Australia (see: Worthington, Sam; Kwanten, Ryan). Three years ago, Hemsworth was a high-school dropout living with his parents, and his idea of a big Friday night was renting idiot comedies like Drop Dead Fred. He worked for his brother's flooring company, earning $15 an hour, which he points out was more than most of his friends were making. Then, after taping a script reading, he got a call from Sylvester Stallone and headed for L.A., where he landed and then lost parts in a slew of big-budget action flicks. Six months later, he started dating Miley. Soon reps from Oakley were flying him to Sundance just to present him with the latest snowboarding swag ("We didn't see a single movie!" he brags). Next came the inevitable TMZ "gotcha" moment—caught on tape in a fracas outside a nightclub, sticking up for a friend and shouting in a bouncer's face, "I was backing you up! I was backing you up!" Then he scored a coveted part in The Hunger Games, setting off mass fanboy and -girl hysteria and a new rush of Hollywood offers.
Nevertheless, the grizzled, gray-haired clerk at the Rancho Park Golf Club is unimpressed. When I hand over my driver's license—collateral for the clubs we're renting—the old man asks for our names.
"Hemsworth," Liam says, in a lazy Aussie accent, leaning into the cage.
"Can you spell that?"
It's no shock that the clerk is clueless. He likely doesn't surf celeb-gossip blogs like Just Jared Jr. (MILEY CYRUS & LIAM HEMSWORTH RUN TO RALPH'S) or Perez Hilton (MILEY CYRUS AND LIAM HEMSWORTH DECORATE THEIR CHRISTMAS TREE!) or leaf through Us Weekly (LIAM HEMSWORTH, MILEY CYRUS: WHAT'S COOKIN', GOOD-LOOKIN'?). And it's a good bet he didn't see Liam's biggest film to date, Disney's The Last Song. But if the Hype Machine is to be believed, Liam is about to be side-of-a-lunchbox famous thanks to The Hunger Games. The megabudget adaptation of the Suzanne Collins series tells the story of a dystopian society where children fight to the death in a reality show. Some 16 million copies of the books have been sold in the U.S., and with the sun setting on Twilight and Voldemort vanquished, there's a gaping void in the Cineplex for the prepubescent set. The search for the trilogy's three stars was covered with the kind of breathless anticipation not seen since the hunt for Scarlett O'Hara.
Liam got the call from Gary Ross, the director of The Hunger Games, about a year ago. "I was half asleep," he says, using a seven-iron to stretch his back as we amble toward the first tee, "listening to the voice mail. He was like, 'You did a great read. Do you want to come and do the movie?' I was like, 'Oh shit. Shit shit shit.'"
He looks the part of a movie-star-in-waiting, dressed in a white polo that hugs his broad chest and skims the top of his skinny khakis. He stares out at the rolling fairways, his eyes squinting at a hole in the distance. I imagine he's contemplating what the impending release of The Hunger Games will mean for his career and his relationship with Miley. I am wrong.
"How comedic are squirrels?!" Liam says, a goofy smile spreading across his face as he spots a furry thing scampering across the horizon. "We don't have squirrels in Australia. The first time I saw a squirrel was at a meeting at Disney. I was like, 'What the fuck?!'"
"I just had an audition with Miley Cyrus! How funny is that?"
Liam is standing by the first tee recounting what he said to his brother Chris after he got his first break in Hollywood, The Last Song, a weeper about a piano prodigy with Daddy issues who cozies up to a beach-volleyball stud. The moment Liam left the audition room, in 2009, he rushed to meet up with Chris just to laugh about coming face-to-face with the Disney starlet they'd watched on TV—who'd go on to be his onscreen love interest and his offscreen girlfriend—and the absurdity of it all. "We grew up surfing and stuff," Liam says of his family as he reaches for a pitching wedge. "That's why we can laugh. This business is ridiculous."
The Hemsworth clan vacationed at a surf shack on Phillip Island, not far from their modest home on a dirt road in what Aussies call the Bush. It was a 15-minute drive for milk, farther for anything more substantial, and you couldn't see a single neighbor from the house. Liam's father is a social-services counselor, and his mother was an English teacher, which meant the Hemsworth boys—Luke, Chris, and Liam—mostly entertained themselves. Liam, the baby of the family (six years Chris' junior and nine years younger than Luke), was a constant target. His brothers would pile a couple of heavy sweaters on him and give him a head start. "Then we'd stalk him around our backyard with air rifles and shoot him," Chris says with a laugh. "I feel like the worst brother in the world. But he had a great time, okay?" Liam doesn't recall it so fondly. "I'd bend over to feed the guinea pigs and I'd get a pellet in the ass out of nowhere," he says. "It really hurt."
