An era marked by war and attempts at nation building is coming to its end.
President Obama has made clear he has no interest in lengthy foreign entanglements that would require large commitments of troops and defense dollars.
"We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war," Obama said in his inaugural address on Monday.
With U.S. troops out of Iraq and preparing to leave Afghanistan next year, the American public has little appetite at this point for taking on large-scale military interventions, says Rajan Menon, a political and international relations scholar at City College of New York.
"Obama is right about one thing," Menon says. "Most people want American presidents these days not to achieve some major transformation abroad, spreading democracy or defeating some foe. Instead, it's, 'Please don't put us in some multiyear quagmire, and please don't put us in some situation that costs us endless money that could be spent here.'"
But for all the desire to avoid quagmires, the U.S. continues to project its power abroad, often through special forces operations and drone strikes.
"This isn't an anti-interventionist mood, it's an anti-longterm commitment mood," says Jeremi Suri, a University of Texas historian.
While American presidents can sometimes pick their battles, events at other times may require military action, whether direct or indirect. The U.S., for example, began providing logistical support this week for France's ground offensive in Mali.
"People are inclined not to get involved," says Gary Schmitt, co-director of the center for security studies at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. "The caveat to that is that the world comes knocking at your door."
Cycles Of Intervention
Obama has signaled his desire to avoid fresh military adventures with his nominations of John Kerry to serve as secretary of state and Chuck Hagel as defense secretary. If confirmed, the two men, both Vietnam veterans, are expected to show more skepticism about foreign interventions than some of Obama's first-term advisers.
"I thought the president was very clear" in his inaugural address, says Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"We have to be prepared to defend our values and use American strength to do that," Cardin says, "but now that we are completing our most recent conflict, the time has come to concentrate on the domestic."
American history has gone through repeated cycles regarding the question of military intervention, says Suri, the author of Liberty's Surest Guardian: Rebuilding Nations After War from the Founders to Obama.
Periods of heavy commitment overseas lead to a desire for retrenchment, while at other times there's a fear that the U.S. has become too isolationist and needs to re-engage.
Right now, the pendulum is swinging against intervention. "We're certainly not in a moment when it would be easy for the president to sell the public on a big, nation-building mission," Suri says.
Remaining Engaged
There may be no desire on the part of the administration to bomb Iran to prevent its acquisition of nuclear weapons or to invade Syria in hopes of building a democracy there. But that doesn't mean Obama won't engage in military action during his second term.
"If the president really wanted to come home and not deal with the world, he wouldn't say that Iranian nuclear weapons are unacceptable," says Michael O'Hanlon, director of foreign policy research at the Brookings Institution. "Once you say that, you might have to act, including militarily."
O'Hanlon argues that it's a symptom of "Potomac fever" for policymakers in Washington to believe that they can "control the flow of human history from our living rooms and our Oval Offices" — in effect wishing that world events will not suck the country into conflict.
Iran was on the nation's foreign-policy radar prior to Obama's presidency, but Syria and the whole of the Arab Spring revolutions were not. In other words, circumstances change. Something might very well happen in the next four years that would force Obama to order troops into harm's way.
"We're hardly ever in an interventionist mood in this country," O'Hanlon says. "Americans, in the abstract, would love to stay home and spend more at home, but you don't make decisions in the abstract."
From The Air
During his inaugural address, Obama promised to defend democracy abroad and work with international institutions to help manage crises. "America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe," he said.
The U.S. already maintains sizable contingents of troops in more than two dozen countries. (The U.S. actually has troops stationed in more than 150 countries, according to Defense Department figures, but generally keeps well under 100 service members in each.)
"The drug war we're fighting [in Latin America] is a massive military operation," Suri says.
Drone strikes have increased markedly on Obama's watch. Relatively cheap and precise, such air power has become a preferred method of combating terrorism.
"It's certainly cheaper," says Micah Zenko, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who has studied drone attacks. "The dichotomy the administration puts forward is that we can put 170,000 troops on the ground, or we can do drone strikes."
Unpredictable Ends
But unmanned aerial strikes aren't necessarily an effective answer to long-term threats and may not alter political realities on the ground. And even when American sailors and service members aren't sent overseas, modern warfare may mean the presence of contractors or CIA personnel — such as during Libya's civil war and in Pakistan.
Drone attacks as well as the presence of Americans on foreign soil can lead to scenarios in which the U.S. military response steadily gets ratcheted up. History teaches that it is difficult to limit warfare, or certainly to control its outcome.
Avoiding situations that are most likely to lead to major deployments of troops appears, however, to be the president's desire at this point.
"There's absolutely no appetite for putting large numbers of, quote, boots on the ground," Zenko says. "This concern is something that will increasingly characterize U.S. foreign policy."

Thanks. I don't know what you mean by "interacting weirdly" but I do think the shirt collar is not the best on me. I've found that cutaway collars and small buttondown collars (like 2.5" points) look best on me. I'm slowly phasing out these longer buttondown collars. This one (the old epaulet design) is particularly narrow too. I have a blue oxford with a cutaway collar on its way and will probably redo this fit with that when I get it. I imagine it'll look cleaner.Quote:
So far so good. Was pretty impressed with it out of the box, especially for the price. I've handled some Barena, which are a little nicer, but then those are also 5x the cost. The MR fits perfect and has a great jersey fabric that feels comfortable. It also has working sleeve buttons, which is kind of cool. The buttons all say "MANUEL RITZ" on them, which isn't. I might get the buttons replaced with some smoke MOP or maybe find something to match the slightly-distressed look of the stock buttons that don't have labeling on them. Only other complaint is that the breast pocket is just a little too shallow to hold my sunglasses without them sticking way out.post #109878 of 1176661/22/14 at 12:00pmpost #109879 of 1176661/22/14 at 12:04pm

I like this, and the pinroll is way better than the big cuffs you had before. Everything will look a lot better once it settles in and is washed a few times :)
Maybe one less cuff would be better to, or proportion them so they fall just a little bit lower than they are now.
yeah it looks way better than before. i'll try that the next time i wear them, thanks!post #109880 of 1176661/22/14 at 12:16pm

Anxious wait for Canaries
By Chris Stanton
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Norwich are facing an anxious wait over an ankle injury sustained by winger Lee Croft.
Norwich are facing an anxious wait over the ankle injury sustained by winger Lee Croft, but manager Peter Grant received more positive news on defender Gary Doherty.
Croft, 21, a summer signing from Manchester City, will undergo exploratory surgery on Thursday after visiting a specialist to resolve an injury he picked up in last month's defeat to Stoke.
"It's very much an investigative process rather than a case of carrying out extensive repair work," Canaries physio Neal Reynolds told the Norwich Evening News.
"He's going to have a similar operation to the one carried out on Adam Drury earlier in the season. If the arthroscopy reveals little damage, then we're looking at Lee possibly coming back in early December or even sooner.
"If the operation reveals more extensive damage then further surgery might be necessary, then we're into the longer term timescales the manager has already talked about."
Doherty, though, is poised to return to training next week.
The former Luton and Tottenham man aggravated a back injury during his side's derby draw with Colchester last week and initially feared he may be out until Christmas.
Those fears appear to have proved unfounded, however, leading Grant to reassess his transfer targets.
Grant said: "Doc is progressing very well - in fact he could be back in training again next week. The fact that he is progressing so well may alter may thinking in seeking cover."

Regulation of Cyberspace by Andrew Murray
Book DescriptionExamining the development and design of regulatory structures in the online environment, The Regulation of Cyberspace considers current practices and suggests a regulatory model that acknowledges its complexity and how it can be used by regulators to provide a more comprehensive regulatory structure for cyberspace. Drawing on the work of cyber-regulatory theorists, such as Yochai Benkler, Andrew Shapiro and Lawrence Lessig, Murray explores and analyzes how all forms of control, including design and market controls, as well as traditional command and control regulation, are applied within the complex and flexible environment of cyberspace. It includes chapters on: * the role of the cyberlawyer * environmental design and control * online communities * cyber laws and cyber law-making. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in law and information technology.

The combat system in AoC is pretty decent. I would of enjoyed it more if instead of having to trigger combo then swing certain swings would trigger a combo; for example L, R = x combo, M, R = y combo and M, M = 1 combo etc.
All and all a good game, but we will see how gathering, crafting, guild cities and battle keeps go if it will have the staying power. Sadly most non combat systems are after thoughts for designers which makes them half assed.

The Statistics and Data Management Core is a dedicated group of statistical and database personnel whose expertise supports research in normal aging, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias at U.T. Southwestern (UTSW) and for national (National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center) and state efforts (Texas Alzheimer's Research Consortium).
The Specific Aims of the Statistics and Data Management Core are: (1). Provide statistical and data management support for investigators, fellows and graduate students doing research in normal aging, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias as well as training for those researchers in the design and analysis of clinical studies. Participate in study development, analyses, posters and manuscripts. ( 2). Statistics and data base support. Statisticians with biomarker analysis expertise will provide analyses using state of the art techniques. Analyses of imaging data will involve collaboration with our colleagues in the Clinical Core using specialized techniques they have developed. (3). Participate in national and state efforts related to normal aging, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. We submit our subject data to NACC on a regular and timely basis. Our Core continues to provide leadership at the national level: Joe Webster served on an advisory committee in the early years and Joan Reisch was selected as a member of the first Data Advisory Board for NACC. Currently Dr. Linda Hynan serves on the NACC Publications committee (2009-2011);Dr. Reisch participates in the semi-annual meetings of ADC directors.
The development of successful therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) will require a thorough understanding of the pathologic mechanisms that contribute to neurodegeneration. Data from epidemiologic and observational studies indicates that vascular and inflammatory pathology contributes to AD. The goal of the UTSW ADC is to identify biomarkers of vascular and inflammatory pathology that will be useful for selection of participants in clinical trials.
