Katie Sullivan also had a career day with five goals and five points, while Kate Bergstrom put in two goals and had a game-high four assists.

The Catamounts got on the scoreboard first with Natalie Jones putting the visitors up 1-0, two minutes into the game. Colgate answered with two-straight from Sullivan and Bubnack to take its first lead at 2-1 with 25:23 left in the first. Vermont regained the lead on back-to-back free position goals from Mas and MacDonald and had a 3-2 lead until 15:20 left in the first half. Alison Flood scored one of her two on the day at the 15:20 mark to tie game. It was her fifth of the season and came while the Raiders were up a player.
Bubnack took the lead back with her second of the game with 12:43 left, with an assist to Bergstrom. The Catamounts tied the game with Marcie Marino scoring on a free-position shot to make it 5-5. That was the last time that the teams would be tied as Colgate stormed ahead with two-straight goals to end the first half to take a 7-5 lead into the locker room. Sullivan scored with 18 seconds left and then Bergstrom received a pass from O'Sullivan and buried her second of the half with two seconds remaining.
The Raiders increased the lead to 8-5 to start the second half on a goal from Bubnack, which came after a Colgate player was sent to the sidelines for a yellow card. Vermont got two back with Stern scoring both unassisted in the first five minutes of the half. Bubnack answered with her fourth of the contest to make it 9-7 with 24:23 left. Brooke Flanagan score her first of the season three minutes later to make it 10-7 going into the final 20 minutes of play.
After Marino tallied her second of the game, the Raiders went on a scoring run with four-straight goals to open up a 14-8 lead. The goals came from four different players. Bubnack, O'Sullivan and Flood were credited with goals and Monica White added her second goal in the last two games. Vermont didn't go away and chipped at Colgate's lead with four of the next five goals to cut the advantage to 15-12. Lauren Johnson had two of the scores for the Catamounts, while Sullivan had the lone goal for the Raiders.

The advantage in draw controls went to the Catamounts with Jones and Jen Madsen earning five apiece. Courtney Miller had five of her own to lead the Raiders. Seven of Vermont's 14 goals came on free-position shots, while Colgate was 3-for-6.
The Raiders will be back in action this coming Tuesday as Colgate travels to Cornell for a 4 p.m. start.
NOTES: Colgate had eight different scorers this afternoon … the Raiders scored 20 goals for the first time since beating Lafayette 20-3 in 2009 … 36 goals combined is the most since 2008 when Colgate beat Marist 19-18 in the play-in game of the NCAA Tournament … the nine points by Bubnack are the most in a game by a Colgate player since Brie Morgan had 12 on 10 goals and two assists against Holy Cross in 2009 … Bubnack has 19 points in three games … Bergstrom had 13 points on eight goals and five assists … Miller and White are tied for the team lead with 13 draw controls … Kailey Krause has six caused turnovers to lead the defense, but Missy Giusti led the team today with three.

Writers Guild of America, East
250 Hudson Street, NYC
Join Steve Inskeep of NPR's Morning Edition, America's most popular radio news show, moderating a lively panel with "Daily Show" writers Kevin Bleyer and Zhubin Parang, "Colbert Report" writer Glenn Eichler, and Kambiz Husseini and Saman Arababi of "Parazit," the popular Iranian Internet satire, as they discuss the uses of comedy news to explode stereotypes and poke fun at political rhetoric and (mis)perceptions about Muslims in the U.S. and abroad.
Political satire has a long history in the United States, as part of the basic right to freedom of speech. But in Iran and the Arab world, comedy and satire have become important avenues for dissent and criticism of authoritarian regimes, both pre- and post-revolution. Stand-up comedy has taken off in the Middle East, inspired by Arab and Iranian-American comedians.
Saman Arbabi is the co-creator and producer of the popular Iranian political comedy show "Parazit," which airs on Voice of America's Persian News Network. "Parazit" is billed as the show for people who "don't have the patience for news...and all news is bad news" brought to its listeners by the "servants of Mossad and the CIA" to "tickle the foundations of power." Arbabi lives in Washington, D.C.
Kevin Bleyer is a multiple Emmy Award-winning writer for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Previously, he was a writer/producer for "Dennis Miller" and "Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher," and was the creator and host of the Showtime pilot, "Nightly." A frequent commentator for National Public Radio, his upcoming book, ME THE PEOPLE: AN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION, will be published by Random House in May 2012 -- hopefully just in time to save America.
Glenn Eichler is a Peabody- and Emmy Award-winning writer for "The Colbert Report," where he has worked since its 2005 debut. Prior to that he developed and executive-produced the MTV animated series "Daria." He is the author of a number of books and graphic novels, which is not to say that graphic novels aren't books, because they so are. His latest, MUSH! SLED DOGS WITH ISSUES, with artist Joe Infurnari, will be published by First Second Books this December.
Kambiz Hosseini is a playwright and the writer / host and co-creator of Voice of America's "Parazit". He was born in Rasht, Iran in 1975 and moved to US in 2000. Hosseini was the host of popular Radio show called " Islamic Revolution Blossoms" when he was 10 years old. Since then he wrote and directed many stage plays, radio and TV shows. He is currently working as the writer and host of satirical show in Voice of America called "Parazit". He studied dramatic literatures and acting in Iran and the US.
Steve Inskeep is host of NPR's Morning Edition, the most widely heard radio news program in the United States. Before coming to NPR, Inskeep worked for public and commercial radio stations in and around New York City. He has written articles for publications including The New York Times and Washington Post. He is also the author of a forthcoming book on the world's growing urban areas, tentatively titled INSTANT CITY.
Zhubin Parang is a writer for the multiple Emmy Award-winning "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." His writing has been featured in McSweeney's and The Onion, and he has written multiple shows for the famed Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York, where he is a house performer. Prior to joining "The Daily Show," he practiced law for several years after graduating from the Georgetown University Law Center.
This event co-hosted with MOST Resource, a complimentary provider to the entertainment industry of facts-based research and access to experts on the Middle East, Muslims and Islam.

Meet Information
PHILADELPHIA - Friday night will mark a return to one of track and field's most historic facilities for the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team. The Quakers will compete at College Night at the Armory with 15 other teams, including three other Ivy schools.
The meet is slated to get underway at 7 p.m., with the 60 meters. The long jump will begin at the same time to kick start the field events. Friday night's meet is then set to conclude at 10:30 p.m., with the 4x400-meter relay.
Penn was at the Armory in New York City two weeks ago and finished second as a team among 14 schools. Behind a victory from Tom Timmins, a trio of Quakers qualified for the IC4A Championships in the 500 meters. The Quakers also won the 4x400 relay, qualified three others in the mile and claimed the top two spots in the shot put.
Last week, Penn won its meet at Lehigh. Freshman Thomas Pitt won the high jump and long jump, while senior Allante Keels, freshman Clark Shurtleff and sophomore Conner Ryan also posted victories for the Quakers.
In total, the Quakers have qualified eight individuals for the IC4A championships as well as the 4x400 relay team. Three Quakers apiece hit qualifying times in the mile and 500 meters, while Maalik Reynolds (high jump) and Jake Brenza (shot put) have also already reached the required marks.
A full recap will be available at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of the meet.

PHILADELPHIA - In the collegiate debut for the University of Pennsylania men's lightweight freshmen, the Quakers posted wins in the Freshman 8+ and Freshman fours on Saturday at the Navy Day Regatta on the Schuylkill River.
On a beatiful Fall day in Philadelphia - no clouds and almost no wind - the 2012 season officially got underway for the Red and Blue with the varsity fours. The Quakers finished second among the nine boats with a great finish for the runner-up position. Penn edged New York Maritime at the line by less than four-tenths of a second. The Quakers finished about 10 seconds behind Navy with a time of 15:15.49.
A short while later, the freshmen posted their first victory of the day with a first-place finish in the freshmen heavyweight 8 event. Penn was the top boat by more than seven seconds. The Quakers outpaced their heavyweight schoolmates for the win at 13:18.26. The two Penn boats were more than 20 seconds faster than the rest of the competition.
In the varsity 8 race, the Quakers finished third. The Red and Blue oarsmen were well ahead of the rest of the field, but finished close behind Navy and Delaware. Penn came across the finish line in 13:14.80 to claim the bronze among the six boats.
To cap the day, the freshmen repeated their early morning success in the heavyweight fours. Of the 17 boats, the Quakers were the only one to break 15 minutes in the event - and did so easily with a time of 14:39.74. The Penn heavyweights were second at 15:00.46.
The varsity wore pink racing shirts this weekend in honor of both the Jog for Jill Foundation and Breast Cancer Awareness month. The team is also making a donation to the Jog for Jill foundation to help find a cure! You can join the Penn Rowing Team in their support of this event. If you would like to donate please click here. If you would like to read more about Jill's story see here and see a video about Jill's story here.
Up next for the Quakers is the historic Head of the Charles on Sunday, Oct. 21 in Boston, Mass.

"Office warriors" demand more than ever from their computers: power and performance for serious line-of-business applications, and portability to keep step in the fast-paced business environment.
These workers often move all day between cubicles, floors, and office buildings, or opt to work at home where they may connect via the "cloud." In fact, 82% of employees are increasingly required to access enterprise applications and data while away from their desks according to Forrester Consulting.
Today, your office experts' need for features such as durability, connectivity and battery life is not much different than those of your field support or sales forces.
Security also is of growing importance. The perception that business information is more secure in or near the home office can make it more vulnerable than the road warrior's laptop. On top of it all, office warriors need high levels of performance that let them efficiently create the content that drives your business.
Lenovo builds our ThinkPad W Series and T Series laptops to support mobile business professionals who are on the move and may be located anywhere in the building. Then there's our powerful ThinkCentre Desktops and ThinkStation Workstations for those that require a computer to do even more.
Whatever your office pros need, Lenovo is a wise investment for your organisation.

Hermeneutics as Research Approach: A Reappraisal
Hermeneutics as a research practice, if it is to remain true to its philosophical origins, involves reappraisal and reinterpretation in relation to its cultural contexts. Among the threads of connection affecting hermeneutic practice are the exigencies of academic institutions and evolving cross-cultural perspectives. This article addresses these issues from the perspective of exploring hermeneutics for a research study of nurses' relational practice on acute care mental health units from Buddhist perspectives. The exploration is, as hermeneutics must be, both a review and a refashioning, a looking back in order to look forward.

I'm pen-testing a different environment, my pen-test is internal (more like insider).
All I have is a PC from the company (without any tools, only Windows) connected to the local network.
My job is (try) escalate privilege in this machine and get into the servers on the network.
Until here, all appear very easy, but have some special points:
- The computer have a clean Windows installations (with a small number of third programs, just a MS office, AntiVirus, and a program used internal - a kind of ERP).
- The Windows system is FULL patched (WSUS).
- My user privilege is very low, i have basic no permissions at computer.
- The computer also have strong Windows Polices (I can't change wallpapers, see configuration properties, etc).
- The computer have the disc encrypted (A kind of TrueCrypt).
- The computer have a CD-ROM and USB port, HOWEVER I'm unable to acess it (some program (maybe a end point security?) doesn't allow me to access it.
- The sequence of BOOT doesn't allow boot via CD or USB.
- The BIOS boot is protected by passwords.
- All physical ports in the CPU are locked with a kind of "pad locks" for computers.
- The PC do not have internet connection.
- I can not use my own laptop in the network cable.
- There is no Wireless network.
NOW..... What I thinked!
- Reset the BIOS password via Windows (W W W.cgsecurity.org/wiki/CmosPwd), however it need administrative privilege.
- By the way, boot with BT on CD or USB is not possible.
- I had think in try a local brute force against the administrator account, since it's local, maybe it can work. Maybe there is a kind of fast (multi thread) tool which allow locally brute force windows (maybe via "runas" feature) accounts? Anyone have any hint for me?
- I remember sometime ago a lot of people in the internet spoke that a "firewire" device could be used to break into any windows. A kind of "plug and root" via firewire, where it could copy hash files or unluck Administrator password. Someone aware (link) with detailed description about how to build one?
I found:
W W W.infopackets.com/news/hardware/2008/20080311_firewire_hack_also_works_with_windows_vis ta.htm
And even:
The big question is, how to build one? Which I need? I really need a Ipod? Can't be something less expensive? Maybe my own computer? There is someplace a step by step?
Obs.: All sites with "W W W" you must remove the space, I type in this way, because my account in forum is not allowed to post URL yet.
I have no more ideas.
Do you have any idea or hint to me? All syggestions are welcome.

Does anybody have an idea what could be the problem.
The Laptop is an old Acer Aspire with a ATI X700 GPU.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

De La Rosa sharp in first rehab outing
Rockies' left-hander goes three scoreless innings for Modesto
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 2, 2012 9:38 PM ET
Pitching in a competitive game for the first time in almost a year since undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer, De La Rosa scattered a pair of hits over three scoreless innings in the Class A Advanced Modesto Nuts' 10-1 victory over the Visalia Rawhide. He struck out four and walked one.
"He gave us three solid innings and threw the ball well," Modesto pitching coach Darryl Scott said. "The ball came out really well. I had not seen him since Spring Training, but he has made some nice adjustments.
"It was predominantly fastball-changeup with a few breaking balls to get a feel for it. It was maybe 60 percent fastball and 30 percent changeup. His fastball was probably right in that 91- to 92-mph range."
The left-hander has been sidelined since May 24, when he left a start for the Rockies with elbow soreness. Tests revealed De La Rosa suffered a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow and season-ending surgery was required.
On Wednesday, the 31-year-old used an inning-ending double play to erase a leadoff single and a one-out fielding error in the first frame, and he worked around a two-out walk to Keon Broxton in the second after recording back-to-back strikeouts to start the inning.
After being hit in the glove hand by a sharp line drive off the bat of Garrett Weber in the third, De La Rosa surrendered a two-out base hit to Eric Groff. But he retired Chris Owings on a fly ball to right field to complete his night.
Scheduled to throw five innings or 65 pitches, De La Rosa was removed from the game for precautionary measures after his 45th pitch. He threw 20 more pitches in the bullpen before heading into the clubhouse.
"We just wanted to make sure there were no issues there," Scott said. "We're not sure of the extent of [the injury], but he was able to go to the bullpen and finish up his pitch count. That way he could keep his arm moving."
The 6-foot-1 native of Mexico -- who last pitched in the California League with High Desert as an 18-year-old in 1999 -- may return as early as June or early July if he experiences no further setbacks.
Scott said he expects De La Rosa to make his next start with the Nuts on regular rest, which would be in Bakersfield on Sunday or at home to San Jose on Monday. He is expected to throw 75 pitches.
"That was the plan going into it," Scott added. "Things can change, but right now we're expecting him to be with us next week. Typically in a situation of a rehabilitation, the pitch count would go up in increments of 10."
De La Rosa initially thought he could avoid surgery completely, but team doctors advised him to proceed with the operation and then begin his rehab at the start of 2012.
He began throwing bullpen sessions in early January and progressed to live 45-pitch batting practice sessions a week before the season began. On April 21, he threw four innings in an extended spring training game without any issues, and he followed that up with a six-inning outing last Friday.
A veteran of eight Major League seasons, De La Rosa has a career 54-49 record and a 4.90 ERA between the Rockies, the Kansas City Royals and the Milwaukee Brewers.
Before the elbow injury ended his 2011 season, De La Rosa was 5-2 with a 3.51 ERA and 52 strikeouts over 59 innings.

text: Home- Academics- University Catalogue- Writing and Rhetoric Menu Menu Writing and Rhetoric (For 2016–2017 academic year) Associate Professors Campbell (Chair), Darby Assistant Professors Solomon, Worley Visiting Assistant Professor LeMesurier Director of the Writing and Speaking Center Lutman Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of Second Language Writing Spring A central part of the liberal arts tradition, rhetoric is the art of effective language use in written, oral, and visual communication. With roots in ancient Greece and branches in the most recent media technologies, rhetoric is simultaneously one of the oldest and newest academic disciplines, fundamentally engaged by dynamic relationships between language, power, and public culture. As a discipline, rhetoric demonstrates how discourse generates knowledge, mediates power, and enacts social change; as an art, rhetoric enables the speaker/writer to invent arguments by making logical, ethical, and emotional appeals to an audience. The department offers courses in writing, public address, and the history and theory of rhetoric and language. Courses in writing and rhetoric position students to become critical language users, preparing them to be effective communicators both in their future careers and in civic society, in the US and abroad. The Writing and Speaking Center The Writing and Speaking Center provides one-on-one peer assistance with writing projects and oral presentations from across the disciplines. Writers and speakers of all levels and abilities are welcome, with no referral necessary, and students may visit at any stage of the composing process, from initial brainstorming of ideas to review of a full draft or presentation. Appointments and walk-in hours are available at several campus locations each semester. The Writing Requirement On the basis of standardized writing and verbal test scores, the registrar assigns some first-year students first priority in registering for writing classes. These students are required to complete one of the department's eligible 100-level writing courses with a grade of C or better. This requirement must be met by the end of the second semester at Colgate. Students who fail to do so must continue to enroll in writing courses until the credit is earned. In all cases, however, the requirement must be met by the end of the fourth semester. Minor Program The minor is designed to enhance students' ability to think and write critically as they explore the connections between the theory and practice of rhetoric. Students in the minor demonstrate proficiency at crafting a suitable message as they deepen their understanding of rhetoric as an art and as a disciplinary subject of study. A minor in writing and rhetoric provides valuable intellectual resources and practical skills for students across the curriculum who are considering careers that call for excellence in speaking and writing. The minor is also ideally suited for students with interest in public life and civic responsibility in the evolving context of a global culture. With a variety of course options available, students are encouraged to tailor their minor to fit their individual interests, career goals, and majors. Students should seek advice from a member of the department when planning their course selections. The minor requires a minimum of five courses selected from the list below. No more than one course may be at the 100 level, and at least one course must be at the 300 or 400 level. A course taken in fulfillment of the writing requirement may be counted toward the minor.

Where appropriate, one semester of independent study in writing at the junior or senior level (WRIT 391 or 491) may substitute for another 300-level course. Normally, no more than one course from another department or program may count toward the minor. This course must focus on either language theory or the specialized expository writing of a particular discipline, and will require the approval of the departmental adviser. Examples of possible courses from outside the Department of Writing and Rhetoric include ENGL 374, Creative Nonfiction Workshop; HIST 200, History Workshop; and PSYC 355, Language and Thought. Other courses may be counted toward the minor depending on their curriculum and focus during a particular semester. Awards See "Honors and Awards: Writing and Rhetoric" in Chapter VI. Course Offerings 102 Introduction to Rhetoric in the Liberal Arts Tradition K. Campbell Artes liberales — the liberal arts — those arts that are proper for a free citizen, according to Cicero. These arts numbered seven in the medieval curriculum, the language arts — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — constituting the first three or trivium. While the trivium has all but disappeared in today's college curriculum, increasingly scholars across the disciplines are discovering the integral role rhetoric plays in equipping citizens for effective participation in a democracy. Drawing upon the liberal arts tradition, this course aims to cultivate students' capacity for eloquence of thought and expression through inquiry. To foster this most human impulse to inquire, students engage in a number of inquiry projects that ask them to reflect on their personal experiences, to analyze the forces that shaped those experiences, and to look critically at the way that culture or cultural identity is formed. In conjunction with the inquiry projects, students engage in an intense amount of work on rhetorical invention (the discovery of ideas for writing), compose a workable draft, read and revise the draft, and edit it for fluency in grammar, punctuation, and style. First-year students only; it meets the writing requirement. 103 Rhetoric and Writing Staff This course teaches the basic elements of college writing, strategies for reading and effective note-taking, the discovery and development of ideas, thesis development, organization and coherence, and editing skills. First-year students only; it meets the writing requirement. 105 Colgate Talk M. Darby Consider those who write for Colgate. A number of students, and many more professionals, hold jobs here that require speaking and writing on behalf of Colgate University. This course samples these writings as both theme and organizing principle, forming a textbook of practical rhetoric. It trains students in the analysis of texts through traditional rhetorical questions: What intellectual claims are made? What values are attributed to Colgate? What audiences are addressed? In writing their own texts about Colgate's current issues, students learn important speaking, writing, and reading strategies. In a sequence of expository essays, students develop new powers of persuasion by studying the interaction of language, point of view, and local cultural knowledge. First-year students only; it meets the writing requirement. 110 Academic Persuasions: An Introduction to Rhetoric, Research, and the Academic Essay J. Lutman, S. Spring By taking a rhetorical approach to academic writing, this course asks students to cultivate sustained and reasoned understandings of the relations between writer, audience, subject/text, and disciplinary contexts. Students engage in analytic essays and research projects within the discipline of rhetoric, developing facility with analytic habits of mind, discursive moves typical in academic writing, and the construction of clear, complex, and logical arguments about civic discourse. The course focuses on several essential elements of college writing and research: strategies for active analytic reading and effective note taking; compiling and critical reading of research sources; the discovery and development of a strong thesis supported by persuasive evidence; the skills of summary, definition, analysis, interpretation, and synthesis; organization and coherence; revision processes; and editing skills. First-year students only; it meets the writing requirement. 203 Argumentation K. Campbell Students in this course learn critical techniques for argumentation by analyzing the arguments of other writers and applying these techniques to their own writing, especially at the revision stage. Both academic and popular sources are analyzed for their use of evidence, the presence of logical errors, and their use of rhetorical devices. Special attention is paid to problems arising from more complex critical analysis, such as appropriate ways to treat conflicting sources, detecting the biases in both primary and secondary source material, and examining the biases of the student's own arguments. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 205 Writers and Readers M. Darby This course focuses on one of the most important characteristics of a successful writer: the ability to, first, imagine a reader's point of view, and second, to establish an imaginary dialogue with that reader. The more the imagined reader anticipates the response of a real reader, the more power the writer can command. The course considers the following topics in depth: the split in the writer's self — creator and editor; automatic language — the clichéd medium of conscious life; the practice of self-paraphrase to get beyond the automatic; the development of the writer's potential voices; control over real readers; the imagined reader in the writer's head; and alienation and authority in college-level writing. To accomplish the goal of developing awareness and control of the relationship between writer and reader, the course establishes a writing community that works primarily with rough drafts in a workshop format. Principles of helpful feedback/response are taught explicitly, and learning to be a supportive but critical reader improves the students' editing skills at the same time that it models the realities of a reader's difficulties in the hands of an unskilled but developing writer. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 210 The Rhetoric of Style J. Lutman In ancient Greece and Rome, teachers of rhetoric taught style (elocutio) as one of five essential canons, or rules, for effective and persuasive communication. By this rule, an effective communicator reaches an audience not just through the content of speech, but also through its artful expression. This course studies how writers' stylistic choices can profoundly influence the reception and interpretation of texts. With the goal of practicing new stylistic techniques in their own writing, students closely analyze published authors' diction, sentence structure, punctuation, and figures of speech. Readings for the course include short sample pieces from a variety of genres, written by a variety of authors, as models. Because an understanding of prescriptive English grammar is essential to experiments in style, students review the parts of speech and study the parts of sentences, principles of syntax, and punctuation conventions. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 215 Public Speaking R. Solomon Since the origins of western democracy, rhetoricians have taught the study and practice of public speaking as an essential art of public life and civic responsibility. This course fuses theory to praxis in introducing students to basic public speaking skills, including researching, organizing, and writing effective oral presentations; developing skills of critical listening and audience analysis; surveying key examples of public address; and providing students the opportunity to work in different speech situations. Students develop poise and self-confidence in public speaking as they deepen their understanding of the evolving aesthetics of public discourse in the context of new media and global cultures. (Formerly WRIT 115, Introduction to Public Speaking.) This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 222 The Narrative in New Media M. Worley This course immerses students in the study of narrative craft, grounding students initially in the print essay tradition, but soon departing into multi-media narrative forms, including the audio essay, the serial blog essay, and the video essay. A central premise for this course is that every narrative — every story — inquires into both experience and ideas, and that writers compose not just what they know but in order to know, articulating these experiences and ways of knowing to chosen audiences. Thus, this course asks students to mediate the "subjective" and "objective" positions of the writerly "I" and "eye" in an effort to invite readers to see anew and to read and experience stories through aural and visual media. As a workshop-based course, students are expected to circulate their writing-in-process to each other — and their completed texts to various public spheres. No previous expertise in audio or video composing is necessary. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 231 The Personal Essay Staff By exploring the boundary between private and public writing, this course examines how personal reflection intersects with critical analysis to develop a disciplined expository essay. Drawing on examples from a variety of fields, it develops skills in autobiographical and biographical writing, journal writing, narration, description, synthesis, and peer response, and then shows how these skills can enrich the expository essay without sacrificing its academic tone and structure. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 242 Stand and Speak: Feminist Rhetorics and Social Change Staff As an introduction to rhetoric, rhetorical history and criticism, and feminist rhetorics, this course foregrounds the study of how 19th-century women used both pen and voice with rhetorical precision to "stand and speak" to issues that marked their personal lives and their times. By studying women who composed and embodied what is now understood as the early years of the first wave of U.S. feminism, students access a genealogy of women rhetors who serve as exemplars — and cautions — for later waves and for their own contemporary visions of social change. By positioning the study of rhetoric as the study of language as it constitutes social relations, power, and knowledge, students become more acutely aware of and fluent in the composition, circulation, and criticism of private and public discourses, the verbal material through which they construct social worlds. The work for this course requires close reading and active discussion of course texts through a rhetorical lens and through the category of gender; an analytic essay that draws from and contributes to feminist rhetorical criticism; a performed (or recorded) text that addresses a pressing contemporary issue; and a final exam. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 250 Kairos: The Art of Rhetoric from Ancient to Modern Times K. Campbell Rhetoric — the effective use of language to persuade a given audience — is as old as human speech itself. Yet attuned as they were to "kairos," the opportune time of a fledgling democracy in Athens, the ancient Greeks were perhaps the first to codify rhetorical practice as an art. This is a course about time, about the art of rhetoric as a most effective medium of change at the right time. Students see this when rhetoric served as a vehicle for change in 5th-century Greece, when it equipped individuals to write and preach to effect change in the so-called dark ages, and when it gave women and former slaves the voice to change attitudes and institutions in the 19th and 20th centuries. Students survey the entire history of western rhetoric from the earliest treatises to the most recent theories. In addition to examining this history through a close reading of canonical texts, students come to know the rhetorical tradition through experience, by engaging in the very practices (e.g., medieval preaching and letter writing, and 18th-century exercises in elocution) associated with rhetoric in a particular historical period. The many rhetorical terms, concepts, principles, and practices covered in the course provide students the proper background for further study in the more specialized areas of rhetoric. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 260 Biblical Rhetoric M. Worley This course examines the various ways that writers and speakers draw on the Bible for rhetorical force. Many of the works that call on the Bible for inspiration are not of a religious nature at all, raising questions about the nature of biblical style. Readings range from the Venerable Bede and Queen Elizabeth I to Bob Marley and Douglas Rushkoff, in addition to source material from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament (as well as a smattering of biblical history). No previous knowledge of the Bible is needed, and all views will be respected. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 270 The Rhetoric of Comics M. Worley This course focuses on the ways that comics - often defined as the interplay of words and images - convey specific messages, whether instructional, narrative, persuasive, or other. Close analyses draw on principles of visual rhetoric, comics scholarship, photography, and related disciplines. Readings cover the theory, history, terminology, and genres of graphic narratives. 280 Rhetorical "Borderlands": Introduction to Comparative Rhetoric S. Spring By taking a transnational comparative perspective, this course introduces students to several key questions in comparative and intercultural rhetoric, from the most basic question of "How does culture shape language, and how does language, in turn, shape culture?" to more complicated questions: How do cross-border and cross-cultural engagements constrain and influence rhetorical practices and interactions? How do cultural logics, values, and assumptions hierarchically govern different geo-political spaces? In what ways have individuals and groups both conformed to and resisted discursive structures of power and privilege? And finally, in what ways can comparative and intercultural study sharpen our own critical insights about and rhetorical agency within such dominant structures? This course will address these questions and others as students work to develop and strengthen skills in critical analysis, research, and reflective practices through the lens of transnational comparative intercultural rhetoric. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 315 Public Address: History, Criticism, and Performance R. Solomon The study of public address has long been considered the cornerstone of a liberal arts education — meant to prepare graduates for success in public life as citizens, community members, and professionals. Students in this course survey the rich oratorical tradition of US public discourse with a focus on 19th-century rhetorical history, familiarizing themselves with key debates regarding the theory and criticism of public address, and performing speech and debate exercises that draw on the rich rhetorical heritage students encounter in class. As students immerse themselves in the history, criticism, and performance of American oratory, they also consider how rhetorical dynamics inform issues of democracy and citizenship, reflecting differences of ethnicity, race, class, and gender. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 340 Visual Rhetorics M. Worley This course approaches the study of rhetoric by foregrounding the dynamic relationship of text and image. How does a writer's combination of verbal and visual elements communicate different arguments when circulated among different audiences? How do verbal/visual texts imitate, represent, and/or constitute cultural identities, norms, values, or practices? With the goal of becoming effective rhetorical critics, as well as incisive consumers and producers of visual culture, students in this course study a variety of visual texts in print and electronic form and examine these texts' complex powers of persuasion. The primary work of this course is to develop and strengthen fluency in rhetorical discourse and visual literacy, as students work to perceive and analyze, as well as design and create, verbal-visual texts. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 342 Rhetoric in Black and White: Communication and Culture in Conflict K. Campbell In the nearly 400-year history of social relations between Blacks and Whites in America, rhetoric has often failed. Civil war, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and Black Power were all actions or movements that ensued largely because words fell short of persuading persons of good will to submit to reasoned arguments. Arguably a pillar of American democracy (as in the freedom to speak and to dissent), why has rhetoric been so seemingly ineffective in securing mutual respect and understanding between America's Black and White citizens? This course seeks to answer this question by closely examining the styles of communication that historically have shaped the cultural identities and public personas of the two groups. From slave speech to the languages of protest in the 1960s to verbal expression in rap music and social media today, the course considers why communication or dialogue involving race is often doomed to fail. 346 Language, Race, and Ethnicity in the United States K. Campbell This course examines the ways in which language has reinforced racial and ethnic identities and divisions in American history. It explores the conceptual origins of race, ethnicity, and other categories of difference, particularly those produced through legal, scientific, social scientific, and journalistic discourse. Recognizing that the United States is not just a multicultural society but a multilingual society, the course investigates how ethnic Americans have "talked back" to power and seized the power to name. It focuses on the vernacular speech, humor, and literature of Latin Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and Italian Americans. The course also traces the causes and consequences of historical silences, as suggested by Martin Luther King's dictum: "A riot is the language of the unheard." First-year students by permission only. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 347 Language and Gender M. Darby This course explores the intersection of linguistic theory and feminist theory, defining gender as essentially cultural, but without assuming beforehand that women and men do, in fact, use different language. It considers the following questions in depth: To what extent does English have a sexist, or patriarchal bias? Do women and men speak differently in our culture? Do they think differently? What is the difference between gender and sexuality in language use? To what extent should writing avoid gender-specific forms, and to what extent should classrooms honor gender differences in language use? What is "political correctness" in language and what is its value? The course looks at English from theoretical, political, and social viewpoints, with readings taken from a wide range of fields, but with a particular focus on linguistics and feminist theory. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 348 Discourses of Whiteness J. Spires This course claims that whiteness — white racial identity — is more about language than biology. Whiteness is a rhetorical construct that exists only in discourse, yet its concrete effects impact societies all over the globe. Drawing on texts from around the world, this course traces the evolution of this construct from its inception up to the present day, examining the rhetorical strategies whereby whiteness is both hidden and revealed in a variety of genres: personal memoirs, philosophical essays, scientific investigations, political writings, legal documents, critical analyses, historical essays, and such mass media as television, film, newspapers, and magazines. By engaging in the rhetorical analysis of these texts, this course examines how the discourses of whiteness continue to frame reality and mediate power relations. A required evening film series accompanying the class has students viewing, discussing, and analyzing feature films, documentary films, and television shows. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 354 Dialogue and Deliberation in Democratic Life R. Solomon Public communication is a vital part of democratic life. It is through the circulation and exchange of public speech that citizens shape the contours of public life, build community, and determine their core civic values. More importantly, it is through the work of democratic dialogue that citizens struggle with their inevitable differences and seek to find ways of working together despite those differences. The purpose of this class is to examine both the theory and practice of deliberative democracy, with the aim of better understanding how communities might use dialogue and deliberation to effectively engage across different perspectives. Students are asked to think critically about the possibilities and challenges of democratic dialogue. Students are also trained in facilitation techniques, with the major project for this class providing students an opportunity to facilitate an open forum on a campus-related issue. This course counts toward the Human Thought and Expression area of inquiry requirement. 291, 391, 491 Independent Study Staff The department offers intensive study to qualified students.

Adair County Judge/Executive Ann Melton and Columbia Mayor Mark
Harris, center,
receive the inaugural Bruce Kramp Faithful Servants
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The generosity of
Columbia-Adair County citizens was recognized Monday, March 4, at a
special ceremony at Lindsey Wilson College. Volunteer leaders from
Operation Christmas Child presented the county
with the inaugural Bruce Kramp Faithful Servants
Adair County received the award because the county's
residents increased their OCC collections by 79 percent. In 2011,
the county's residents donated 979 shoeboxes filled with items for
children in developing countries. In 2012, the county's residents
donated 1,759 shoeboxes, the biggest increase in Operation
Christmas Child's nine-county Danville, Ky., Area.
In total, residents of Adair, Boyle, Casey, Garrard, Lincoln,
Marion, Mercer, Taylor and Washington counties donated more than
23,000 shoeboxes in 2012 to OCC.
Operation Christmas Child is a grassroots organization
coordinated by Samaritan's Purse, a nondenominational evangelical
Christian organization that provides spiritual and physical aid to
people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped
worked with victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease and
famine. The shoeboxes collected in Adair County in 2012 were
distributed to children in Sub-Saharan African
About 90 percent of shoeboxes are distributed in
January-March, according to OCC Danville Area Coordinator Kathy
"Christmas comes with the boxes -- whenever the boxes come,
that's Christmas to (the children)," Kendrick said.
Adair County established its Operation Christmas Child relay
center in 2011 at Columbia Baptist Church. In the last two years,
members of dozens of area churches, civic organizations and Lindsey
Wilson College have dropped off shoeboxes filled with items for
children to be delivered around the world.
Named in honor of a former OCC volunteer leader in Kentucky,
the Bruce Paul Kramp Faithful Servants Award is presented to the
Danville Area county with the largest one-year increase in the
number of boxes collected
Efforts are already under way for the 2013 OCC collection
week, according to Adair County co-coordinators Denise Fudge and Carrie Redford. Shoeboxes with items can be
dropped off at the Adair County relay center during the week of
Nov. 18-25, 2013. For more information about OCC, contact Fudge at
email@example.com or (270) 378-6356 or Redford at
email@example.com or (270) 634-3347.

If you really look at that pic it's not that bad. Only one real drop in.
There's a guy going left. A guy behind him that's obviously not going to make it.
A guy going right and a douche burning him... And a SUP that looks to be in the way, but plenty of room to go around him...
I haven't surfed matunuck or pj in forever since I'm back in jersey but matunuck was always real chill is long is you stayed out of the old lb locals way, i've seen then gang up on people, at PJ i've encountered a few **** heads but nothing major. I miss RI i loved living up there.
I have just never experienced that at Matunuck. Every time I've been there -- which, in the last two years since I moved to RI, have been a bunch -- folks have been cool. People take turns, and when someone else paddles for the same wave as me, we agree who goes left and who goes right (not usually hard to figure out).
Except on the biggest swells I've always found that folks at PJ spread way out, and cluster by their types of preferred waves, with the best surfers moving way south around the point closer to the big rock, and with waves breaking farther out. I don't head out there.
God i love both those spots. Localism and general deuchery is way lower than down in the south here.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer
LAKE STEVENS — Republican Chris Vallo on Tuesday announced plans to challenge Democratic Snohomish County Councilman Dave Somers this election season.
They'll be vying to represent District 5, which includes Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Monroe and points east.
"The reason people should vote for me is that I am concerned about the people's welfare and prosperity, and I am a connector who can execute and get things done for the people," said Vallo, a Lake Stevens resident who works as a real estate broker.
Vallo, 55, said Somers is a "great guy," but believes he's better suited to connect to people in the district. Vallo lists supporting business, public safety and improving local roadways among his goals. In particular, he singled out safety upgrades to U.S. 2, which have factored into the County Council's legislative priorities for years with limited results.
Vallo previously worked as an telecommunications engineering manager. He's also served for more than 20 years in leadership roles with the Boy Scouts of America Mount Baker Council. Other volunteer commitments include Lake Stevens Junior Athletic Association and the United Way.
Vallo lost a bid to become county assessor in 2011, when incumbent Cindy Portmann took nearly 68 percent of the vote.
Somers, 60, is a fisheries biologist by training who will be running for his third consecutive County Council term. He has been a regional leader in environmental causes, but also garnered support from the building community during his last run for re-election, in 2009. In that cycle, Somers fended off Republican Steve Dana, a Snohomish business owner. Somers captured nearly 52 percent of the vote.
Somers in 2011 withstood pressure from members of his own party when he found himself entangled in what became a Washington State Patrol criminal investigation of County Executive Aaron Reardon, a fellow Democrat. A county social worker in October 2011 approached Somers. She said she'd been accompanying Reardon on business trips during a years-long extramarital affair with the executive, whom she has known since high school. Somers referred the issue to county prosecutors, who sent the case to the patrol for investigation. No charges were filed.
Somers said he might be interested in competing for Reardon's seat, following the executive's announcement that he plans to resign May 31. Somers has since backed away from those ambitions after Sheriff John Lovick, a Democrat, announced his plans to seek appointment to Reardon's position.
The official filing week for the county election is May 13 to 17. Primary ballots are due Aug. 6. The top two finishers will advance to the Nov. 5 general election.

Fox tries to have it both ways with census job figures
Research ››› ››› TODD GREGORY
In June, Fox News figures downplayed job growth numbers by pointing out that many of the jobs created were temporary census positions. Now, those same Fox figures are hyping net job losses over the summer while ignoring that the losses are largely explained by the conclusion of those same temporary census positions.
Net job losses explained by conclusion of hundreds of thousands of census jobs
BLS: Census 2010 employment peaked at 564,000 in May, dropped to 82,000 in August. In its September press release on the U.S. employment situation, the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated, "Over the month, government employment fell by 121,000, largely reflecting the loss of 114,000 temporary workers hired for Census 2010. The number of temporary Census 2010 workers peaked in May at 564,000 but has declined to 82,000 in August."
Net job losses highlighted by Fox figures are explained by conclusion of those temporary census jobs they previously used to downplay job growth. Fox News figures have pointed to the loss of 283,000 net jobs during the summer months to suggest that the Obama administration's "recovery summer" was, in the words of Chris Wallace, "an economic and political bust." But those net job losses are more than explained by the hundreds of thousands of temporary census jobs which concluded during the summer - temporary census jobs those same Fox News figures previously highlighted in downplaying May's large net jobs increases.
Chris Wallace
THEN: Wallace on May jobs figures: "431,000 jobs were added," but many "were government census hires, and those are, of course, temporary." On the June 6 edition of Fox News Sunday (accessed via Nexis), host Chis Wallace said, "And here's why the stock market took such a dim view of the job numbers in May. Let's put it up on the screen. Four hundred -- yes, 431,000 jobs were added, but only 41,000 of those were private sector employment. All the rest were government census hires, and those are, of course, temporary."
NOW: Wallace: "[O]ver the summer, the economy lost 283,000 jobs."On the September 5 edition of Fox News Sunday, Wallace began an interview with Democratic National Committee chairman Tim Kaine by saying, in part, "[O]ver the summer, the economy lost 283,000 jobs. ... Wasn't 'recovery summer' an economic and political bust?" In response, Kaine said, "After nearly 20 months in a row of private-sector job loss, we've gained jobs in the private sector now eight months in a row. There was some net losses over the summer because the census phased out."
NOW: After being told about "eight months of growth in terms of job creation," Wallace repeats "283,000 jobs" talking point. During a panel discussion later on Fox News Sunday, Fox News political contributor Juan Williams said, "When you hear from President Obama, as we did yesterday in his radio-Internet address, he says, 'Look, we've had eight months of growth in terms of job creation.' In fact, the numbers would have been better this last report -- " At this point, Wallace interrupted and said, "Private job creation. But total job creation -- the economy lost 283,000 jobs in 'recovery summer.' "
NOW: Wallace: "[I]n what the White House was billing as the summer of recovery, a total of 283,000 jobs were lost." Guest-hosting the September 3 edition of Special Report with Bret Baier (accessed via Nexis), Wallace said, "So the August job numbers came out today, and unemployment, the total unemployment number rose from 9.5 to 9.6 percent. Steve [Hayes], let's take a look at the internal numbers, which are more alarming. The economy lost 54,000 jobs in August along with the revised numbers of 54,000 in July and 175,000 in June. So Steve, in what the White House was billing as the summer of recovery, a total of 283,000 jobs were lost."
Stuart Varney
THEN: Varney on May jobs figures: "[A]ll these new jobs created, the vast majority were temporary government census workers." On the June 4 edition of America's Newsroom, Stuart Varney said, "[T]his is an extremely disappointing unemployment report. Yes, the unemployment rate went down to 9.7 percent -- got it -- but the fact that of all these new jobs created, the vast majority were temporary government Census workers, which will be gone by the late summer -- that is very bad news indeed because after spending a trillion dollars on stimulus, we only have tens of -- just a few ten thousand -- basically it's 20,000 new private sector jobs. Very disappointing."
NOW: Varney on summer job losses: "Summer's up, so where is that recovery?" On the September 4 edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto, guest host Varney said, "A recovery summer? One hundred and seventy-five thousand jobs lost in June; 54,000 lost in July; another 54,000 lost in August -- well, summer's up, so where is that recovery?" He continued, "Eight hundred and fourteen billion dollars in stimulus and still no jobs? Another 54,000 lost just last month. Yet, the president says he has no regrets, continuing his push today for another $30 billion in tax breaks for small businesses." During the segment, an on-screen graphic used the "283,000 jobs lost" figure:
Fred Barnes
THEN: Barnes on May jobs figures: "[I]t will get worse next month when many of these census workers are let go." On the June 4 edition of Special Report (accessed via Nexis), Fox News political contributor Fred Barnes said, "[T]he unemployment numbers today were horrible. Only 10 percent were private jobs in the job growth, and a good number of those were probably from the clean up down in the Gulf of Mexico and so are not permanent jobs. Everyone knew that was a setback and it will get worse next month when many of these census workers are let go."
NOW: Barnes: "[T]he so-called summer of recovery will probably wind up with net loss of jobs." On the August 30 edition of Special Report (accessed via Nexis), Barnes said, "And the ultimate embarrassment may be, and I think this will happen, the so-called summer of recovery will probably wind up with net loss of jobs in June, July, and August, a net loss of jobs in the Obama administration so-called summer of recovery."
Talking point about "283,000 jobs" lost in "recovery summer" apparently originated on Drudge Report
Drudge: "Economy LOST 283,000 jobs during 'Recovery Summer' months..." At 8:35 a.m. ET on September 3, text was posted at the top of the Drudge Report that read "Economy LOST 283,000 jobs during the 'Recovery Summer' months..." The text was later linked to a Bureau of Labor Statistics press release, and that headline and several related headlines were featured at the top of the sitethroughout the day:
Gateway Pundit: "The Obama economy lost 283,000 jobs in last three months." Shortly after the figure appeared on the Drudge Report,frequently incorrect Gateway Pundit blogger Jim Hoft posted an entry headlined "Obama's Disastrous Jobs Record Makes George W. Bush Look Godlike." Hoft included a screenshot of the Drudge Report and wrote, "So much for that Recovery Summer... The Obama economylost 283,000 jobs in last three months."
Wallace uses talking point on Special Report. Later that evening, on the September 3 edition of Special Report (accessed via Nexis), Wallace said to Hayes, "[I]n what the White House was billing as the summer of recovery, a total of 283,000 jobs were lost."

Breach Pregnancy
When I was 29wks pregnant, I was advised to have an ultrasound so they can see the position of the baby. Also for them to see if it is positioned for Normal or a possible ceasarian section. So, the one who does the ultrasound told me that it is on breach position. My obstetrician said that there are still chances for the baby to turn, so we will just have the ultrasound repeated in my 36th week. I am really worrying about it, and I would like to know if there are really chances that the baby would turn at this stage? Also, what can I do to maybe help him turn?

Hello Cristina,
Many, many babies are still breech at 29 weeks but make the transition to head-down closer to the mum's due date. Your experience is not at all unusual. There are many things you can do to help encourage the baby to get in a better position.
You may also consult with your doctor about the possibility of an external version, if all else fails. However, there are risks associated with the procedure, and many other processes are preferred as a first course of action.
I recommend you check out Spinning Babies, for some information about certain positions and exercises that can help to turn the baby.
I would also check out the following sources from this very website, which discuss techniques that can help baby to turn:

Hi Cristina,
I'm checking in to see if baby ended up being breach or if he/she turned? How are you doing?
Warm Regards,
25th January 2013 04:00 PM #4buderimosteopathGuest
The baby will often assume its position because of the shape of the space its in. Osteopathic treatment often helps, especially if there are mechanical problems with the womans pelvis, diaphragm or abdominal wall. I have found this can be very succesful.
Your obstetrician may perform a turning procedure but this really needs to be done in hospital.
Many times the baby turns by itself at the 12th hour!
Good luck.

Nice transition from Kimura to triangle. I like.
Cool! Sneaky, I like sneaky
You are not special.
You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.
You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.
Looks nice but I think if youve got the kimura that deep then you may as well finish it rather than risk the transition?

Toilet Training -- Accidents
My boys have been toilet trained since they were 3 years old (they will be 5 in a couple of months). They still only occasionally stay dry during naps and at night and I know as they get bigger this won't be an issuse. During the day one of my boys still has accidents almost daily. He doesn't full on wet his pants but he'll be playing and all of a sudden he'll say "I've got to go to the bathroom." He does but then his underpants are wet. I know this is just because he waits until the very last minute to actually go and use the toilet but I am starting to grow concerned as they will be entering school all day next year and I don't want him to have accidents there. He stays dry at preschool now but that is only 3 hrs a day.
I don't want to make him feel embarrased or bad about it and I have tried to talk to him about listening to the signals his body is sending but he still has these tiny accidents. Any advice? Should I bribe him? I was trying to avoid that but I'm getting desperate.

I think they just grow out of it. I am not sure there is anything you can do. You can talk to them about understanding the signs, but this is a pretty common issue.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing but it doesn't seem like any of the other kids in his class have this issue on an ongoing basis. It happens almost daily to him and rarely his brother but as I explained, he does wait until the very last minute to go which has to be the biggest part of the issue. We'll contiune with the "listening to our body" talks I guess

Beware Flexibility (WEEKLY STANDARD) By JAMIE M. FLY and ROBERT ZARATE 03/29/12)
Source: http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/beware-flexibility_634910.html
WEEKLY STANDARD Articles-Index-Top
President Obama didnt intend the world to hear him tell outgoing Russian president Dmitri Medvedev that hed have more flexibility to accommodate the Kremlins concerns about missile defense and other issues after the election in November. But as his now infamous meeting with Medvedev in Seoul drew to a close on March 26, a hot microphone caught the president saying just that, adding: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but its important for himby which he meant incoming Russian president Vladimir Putinto give me space.
In the days that followed, congressmen and commentators rightly wondered on what other critical issues the president might show more flexibility if he were to win a second term. Might the president offer concessions to Iran rather than stand firm in his insistence that a nuclear Iran is unacceptable? Might he accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and go to greater lengths to reach a peace agreement with the Taliban? Might he once again pressure the Israeli government on settlements and more once he was safely beyond his reelection?
The presidents inadvertently public comment raises serious questions about a possible gulf between his administrations public statements and his actual views on foreign policy. But what do the presidents comments mean for missile defense and nuclear weaponsthe subject that the two leaders were actually discussing?
President Obamas hostility to ballistic missile defense is well documented. In 2001, he said on a Chicago television show, I dont agree with a missile defense system. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he declared, I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
Even so, he stunned lawmakers and allies in September 2009 when he announced his decision to scrap President George W. Bushs plans to establish missile defense sites in Poland and the Czech Republic capable of protecting the United States and Europe from ballistic missile attacks from Iran. This action damaged U.S. credibility in the region and was widely seen as a sop to the Russians in an effort to get Moscow to compromise on further nuclear arms reductions.
Although the Obama administration has moved to replace the Bush sites with a system using different technology to protect against short- and medium-range missile threats from Iran, Moscow remains opposed, and Obamas friends in the arms control community have relentlessly pressed him to abandon those efforts, too.
More recently, the president has reneged on his promise to support funding to modernize Americas aging nuclear arsenal and supporting facilitiesa pledge that he made to lawmakers during Senate debate over the controversial New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with Russia in December 2010.
Moreover, while the New START treaty limits the United States to 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads, there are now reports that the president has directed the Pentagon to study the option of aggressively, and perhaps unilaterally, reducing Americas nuclear deterrent by up to 80 percentdown to as few as 300 deployed strategic warheads. In the meantime, Russia, China, Pakistan, and other nuclear-armed nations are ramping up their efforts to modernize and, in many cases, expandtheir nuclear arsenals.
Which brings us back to missile defense. The United States has repeatedly assured Russia that the emerging missile defense system is aimed at Iran and not at Russias capabilities. Yet Russia continues to insist that it is alarmed by U.S. efforts. And instead of standing firm, senior Obama administration officials talk of the need to come up with more concessions to Russia in an effort to build trust.
This is in line with a Russia policy that has been characterized by an interest in doing whatever it takes to avoid conflict with Moscow, even if it means overlooking various and nefarious Russian activities around the world, as well as abuses by the Putin-Medvedev regime at home.
Therein lies the danger of a second Obama term for missile defense and the U.S. nuclear stockpile. They stand in the way of the supposed promise of the reset with Russia and of Obamas fanciful vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
The microphone mishap suggests that President Obama has not been sobered by hard experience during his first term. He has put some of his dangerous dreams on holduntil his reelection. After that, watch out. At least we can now say that, if he is reelected, we were warned inadvertentlyby what he was caught saying, on a hot microphone, to President Medvedev.

With MemberQ you can check if the value is already there or not.
If it is there, then you find the first such value with Position and
use Insert to insert the vale.
If it is not there then you can "walk" in the list - binary walking

Insert again.
