Former Devils Lake teacher and football coach to be recognized.
Devils Lake Football (1-5, 0-4 EDC) celebrates Joe Roller Night this Friday night as the Firebirds host Dickinson (3-3, 1-3 WDA) at 7 p.m.
Roller coached the Firebirds from 1978-89, a period in which he was named North Dakota high school football Coach of the Year twice (1986, 1989). In 1989, his final year with Devils Lake, he led the Firebirds to a runner-up finish in the Class-A state playoffs.
Roller was inducted to the North Dakota State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1987 and received an award of merit from the University of North Dakota for his contributions to North Dakota high school football.
On March 15, 1988 the Devils Lake Public School Board named the football complex hosting the home games of Devils Lake football teams, Roller Field, in honor of Joe Roller, and this Friday Firebird fans will honor him once again for his years of service to the community.
Roller's family will be in attendance and will be named honorary captains for the coin toss: his wife, Jodi, his children, Matthew and Becky, and his six grandchildren, Sam, Max, Addison, Toby, Sophia and Brody. The Roller family will also be recognized at halftime.
Tailgating for the game this Friday will begin at 5 p.m. at the bus barn, sponsored by JS Ag Consulting. In addition to the barbeque, chips and pickles will also be served.

There Are Worse Things Than the Status Quo
Condi's witless optimism about the Middle East.
At her press conference on Friday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice revealed—far more articulately, if unwittingly, than any other official has in some time—just what is so dangerous about President George W. Bush's foreign policy.
She called the news conference to announce her trip to the Middle East and to outline her ideas for how, and how not, to make peace between Israel and Lebanon. Asked why she hadn't flown to the region earlier or engaged in "shuttle diplomacy," as some had suggested, Rice replied, "I could have gotten on a plane and rushed over and started shuttling, and it wouldn't have been clear what I was shuttling to do. … I have no interest in diplomacy for the sake of returning Lebanon and Israel to the status quo ante. I think that would be a mistake."
Then came the killer sentence, the sentiment that explains so much about what's gone wrong with American diplomacy and not just in the Middle East:
What we're seeing here is, in a sense, the growing—the birth pangs of a new Middle East, and whatever we do, we have to be certain that we're pushing forward to the new Middle East, not going back to the old Middle East.
How many souls over the decades have sallied forth into the desert, beaming with bright eyes and blueprints for a "new Middle East," only to bog down in the dunes, blistered by sunstroke and bitten by scorpions?
It's not so much the blithe arrogance that's troubling—the belief among many top Bush aides that they can ignore history and culture, that they've hit upon the magic formula that has eluded countless others. (After all, every president deserves a shot at making "enduring peace" in the Middle East.) It's the stunning confidence in this belief—held so deeply that they're willing to push ahead with their vision even at great sacrifice of political stability and human life.
"I have no interest in diplomacy for the sake of returning Lebanon and Israel to the status quo ante," Rice said. And yet, sometimes a return to the status quo is the best you can hope for in this region. "I could have … rushed over and started shuttling," but "it wouldn't have been clear what I was shuttling to do." Well, for starters, you could have saved hundreds of lives, preserved billions of dollars in property, and perhaps stemmed the tide of rising anti-Israeli (and, by extension, anti-American) passion.
This is the troubling thing. Rice and President Bush refused to engage in diplomacy sooner, refused to impose a cease-fire (which Bush certainly could have imposed, had he wanted), because that would have meant "going back to the old Middle East"—restoring "the status quo ante"—while they're in the business of "pushing forward to the new Middle East."
A cease-fire without a political solution, Rice said, would have meant we'd be back "in six months again or in nine months or in a year, trying to get another cease-fire." The thing is, that's what this sorrowful region requires sometimes.
"A real and lasting peace," Rice said, must "address the root causes of the violence." Yet, as anyone who has so much as waded into the morass of Middle Eastern politics well knows, the opposing players disagree about "the root causes of the violence" as intensely as they do about any other issue. It's what often inflames the violence.
Sociologists often say that fighting urban crime requires eliminating the "root causes." Here too there are disputes over just what those root causes are. But cities don't wait until they've figured it out before taking action; they hire police to hit the streets and go after criminals.
At her Friday press conference, Secretary Rice spoke like a big-city mayor who, in the middle of a crime wave, announces that he's not going to put more police on the streets; he's going to convene a summit to address the wave's root causes.
There's nothing wrong with convening a summit; but, meanwhile, put police on the streets to catch criminals—or, to drop the metaphor, stop the killing (which almost certainly won't give Israel the upper hand in any case) and put troops on the borders to keep the peace.
This "old Middle East" is a very old beast indeed, yet its fangs are still sharp and its bite deadly. It's a good idea to be on the lookout for an opportunity to kill the thing or to knock it out and change its nature before it wakes up. But until that opportunity arises, as past presidents have learned, there's no choice but to put up with it and either push or talk it down every time it tries to go on the warpath.
And, by the way, just what is this "new Middle East" that Rice sees rousing in its "birth pangs"? Is it really better than the creature of old? Does she think it's a sibling of the peaceful, tolerant, democratic Middle East that her president believed would rise up in the wake of Saddam Hussein's collapse? That toddler didn't turn out so well. Is there any sign that the pangs of Lebanon might produce a gentler kid than the pangs of Iraq? If there is a new Middle East on the horizon, it's more likely to bear crescent arcs and hidden imams. It's not a creation that any Western diplomat should be "pushing forward." Its potential emergence provides still more reason to contain all violent outbursts as quickly as possible, not to let them run their course.

One of the most colorful and popular players in Red Sox and PawSox history, dropped a bomb on us the other day. Nothing really surprises me any more, but Dennis Oil Can Boyds' revelation that he very often was high on cocaine while he was pitching for the Sox, was a bit of a stunner. We live in a "tell-all" society and the Can has decided to tell on himself. Ironic, when you consider how hard others work to keep their dirty little secrets.
His book, "They Call Me Oil Can" is scheduled to come out this Summer. Give Boyd credit. He knew exactly how to whet the appetites of Red Sox fans. Boyd admitted to cocaine use, down in Fort Myers, as fans, hungry for the latest about the Sox, were getting ready for the loaded equipment truck to go south. Boyd was an average Major Leaguer in his 10 years in the "Show". He was 78-77 with an ERA around 4.00 through his career. He claims a lot of things. That he could have won 150 games if he was clean. That "everyone" was doing it back in the '80s. That he did it in every city and every ballpark. Says he was never tested. Oddly, the lanky right hander claims that he has no regrets. I tend to think that he's lying. If he had been clean and had won 150 games, it's less likely that he'd be airing his own dirty laundry at this stage of his life. Why else "come clean" for other than financial reward?
Boyd played parts of four seasons in Pawtucket. He notched 129 strikeouts to lead the club in 1983. He twice struck out 15 players in a game while a member of the PawSox, a team record he shares with Jin Ho Cho. One has to wonder if his bad habits began in the Big Leagues, or if he began cultivating them while he was on the road to the Majors.
We knew about guys like Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden and Steve Howe. I sat back and smiled smugly, content that none of "my" guys were ever incriminated. What a joke. First Roger Clemens and his steroid mess and now Oil Can and his admission. What a 1-2 punch to the gut! The Rocket is scheduled for trial next month and Boyd's book hits the shelves this summer. Hope they both get what they deserve.

In March 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that a defendant's 6th Amendment right to counsel — and its implied right to effective counsel — is violated when defense lawyers fail to warn their noncitizen clients that a guilty plea to certain offenses carries a risk of deportation. Now the court must decide whether that ruling should be applied retroactively to people convicted before it was issued. Justice and the court's own precedents suggest that it should.
The case before the court involves Roselva Chaidez, a Mexican immigrant who had been living legally in Chicago with her children and grandchildren. In 2003, she pleaded guilty to mail fraud for falsely claiming to have been a passenger in a car involved in an accident. She was sentenced to four years' probation. When she applied for citizenship in 2007, federal authorities discovered her conviction and moved to deport her. Chaidez countered by arguing that her defense attorney had failed to warn her about the deportation consequences of her case. Had she known, Chaidez argued, she would not have pleaded guilty but would have gone to trial or sought a plea agreement that didn't result in her expulsion.
The justices must decide whether their 2010 decision, in Padilla vs. Kentucky, should apply retroactively to Chaidez and others who were denied effective representation. The court has held that the determination about whether a ruling should be applied retroactively depends on whether it articulated a new legal principle or whether it merely applied an existing one. Padilla wouldn't be the first landmark case to be applied only prospectively. In 1966, the Warren court rejected retroactive application of its famous Miranda decision, which held that arrestees must be informed of their rights.

About Adam Lederer
Adam is a gameplay engineer, designer, and composer.
He's currently studying for a master's at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center and is graduating in spring 2012.
And we're back
Jan 17th 2012
A shame that the most exciting 2 years so far have also been the ones where I haven't updated my site even once =)
Quick tidbit: my videogame band Battlecake played at the 10th annual Magfest music and games festival - the same day Nobuo Uematsu's band played! The unflappably cool (why yes, I do think there's a chance he may read this at some point, why do you ask?) game music press guy Jayson Napolitono caught the show and gave us a flattering writeup. Anyway, if you're gonna be outshone by somebody, might as well be Nobuo himself!
Battlecake featured in Songs for the Cure
Jan 25th 2010
Awesome indie game composer Josh Whelchel (Spirit Engine 2, Bonesaw) runs a project called Songs for the Cure, a cancer research fund-raiser CD featuring indie game composers and game music artists. It's a yearly release (now in its 2nd) and has featured the likes of the illustrious Kyle Gabler and Alec Holowka - last year it made over $6,000, and this year the goal is $10,000.
Josh mentioned to me the other day that Battlecake (my game music arrangement band) would make a nice addition to the album - most of our recordings are still in progress or at least unmixed, but luck would have it that we had exactly one tune finished (and it's a doozy)! Songs for the Cure '10 is due out in March - check it out, and feel free to donate to the cause!
Bird & Squirrel at International Family Film Festival
Jan 20th 2010
I recently scored a short film called "The Bird and the Squirrel", and I found out recently it was selected for the 15th annual International Family Film Festival. It will be screened in LA this March - congratulations, Becky!
Bird and Squirrel Soundtrack
Dec 30th 2009
Rebecca Scully contacted me the other week about writing an original soundtrack for her short animation. It's very cute, and kind of like a fable - you should check it out here! I went with a mostly solo piano style, a lot of it improvised (very carefully, of course!).
This is the closest I've ever synced music to action - definitely a learning experience. I'm predominantly a games guy, but this is a great example of the power of linear media (films, books, recorded music, etc.). It's fun to be able to have an authorial voice that comments on and foreshadows events moment-to-moment =D

@RYAN SEDDON – cheers for pointing that out – I hadn't spotted that the other browsers had JSON support baked in.
@DEVON GOVETT – yep, Safari has Web Databases as well as Web Storage, but from my playing around, I can't see any advantage database has over storage. Sure you can do complicated queries, but 99% of the time I have a key and just want to get the value out. Similar to the CouchDB model. Also Web Database is only available in Safari (possibly Chrome, I've not checked), whereas Web Storage is available in 3 of the big 4.
@JOHANNES GORSET – cheers for pointing out that the DOM tab introspects the storage object. It seems a bit lame compared to Safari's DB view, but I guess the data's still the same!
@MATTHEW PENNELL – I've not tested memory management or performance yet, so when I find time, I'll have a play around.

The Redskins have said nothing official regarding a potential replacement of the "natural grass" (which is neither natural, nor grass) at FedEx Field, but they'll have no choice. Not in the aftermath of three late-season torn ACLs in the past two years, including an ACL tear suffered by the most important player the franchise has had since Sammy Baugh.
On Monday, coach Mike Shanahan suggested that he's be willing to consider a switch to an artificial surface. That willingness, we predict, will become the first of possibly many belated face-saving steps now that Robert Griffin III has seen his ACL and LCL shredded there.
Not that the playing surface bears all, or any, of the blame. The guy was injured. He shouldn't have been on the field. It was obvious then, it's more obvious now.
Changing the turf, if/when (when) it happens, will be part of the effort to move forward, part of the belated effort to demonstrate to players and fans and media and everyone else that the Redskins care about player safety.
Even though, before Sunday, they apparently didn't.
Consider this new video from Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson, taken of the field before the game. "This is terrible," Robinson says in the video posted at SportsRadioKJR.com. "I'm surprised they didn't dump sand in the middle. It's terrible. . . . Pregame, it's gonna be done."
It's definitely done, now. Given owner Daniel Snyder's fondness for hosting college football games and concerts at the facility, it's time to switch to an artificial surface.
Then again, there's a chance that the same stubbornness that kept Griffin in the game long past the point at which he should have come out will keep the sand/dirt/whatever in place at FedEx Field for years to come.
That's why, once and for all, the NFL needs to adopt far more stringent field uniformity requirements. The condition of FedEx Field on Sunday proves that the current approach isn't working, and if the league has any regard for player safety it should be the first item on the offseason agenda of the Competition Committee.

There was a sense of relief for all involved with Duke Basketball after the team dismantled a big and physical Maryland team on Saturday. The Blue Devils are unaccustomed to dealing with bad losses on the whole, so getting back on the court was the only thing that would cure the blues that enveloped the team in South Florida.
In response to one of my questions in his post-game press conference, Coach Kryzewski took the time to go back and discuss the Miami game. He simply stated that Duke ran into a perfect storm -- a hurricane in this case. He mentioned the same thing I did in a previous article -- that the Blue Devils just needed to see the ball go in the hoop.
Anyone could tell that the team came prepared for battle against the Terrapins. They squelched any attempt at a run made by the Terps, as Duke remained focused and maintained their mental toughness. That was the difference, and that's what it will take moving forward while they await the return of Ryan Kelly.
From an x's and o's standpoint, it was important for this team to finally adjust to the new Kelly-less lineup. Going into the Maryland game, many were wondering where the offense would come from. As it turned out, it came in the form of freshman Rasheed Sulaimon, who fought off his recent inconsistency to hit for a career-high 25 points.
But Duke will not always be able to depend on Sulaimon having monster games. So it will be important for other players to step up as well individually, and for the team to continue to find its chemistry in the absence of Kelly. Chemistry was what put the Blue Devils on top of the polls for most of the season, and it is the only thing that will return them there by season's end.
That said, it is not easy for a team to suddenly revamp its lineup in mid-season without losing that delicate chemistry. Duke pretty much had to tear down the way they were doing things and rebuild, and that rebuilding is rarely smooth. Hence, a little doubt inevitably snuck in.
In short, Duke had to find their mental toughness first and foremost. Once that confidence is established, success in other areas of the game can follow. It's analogous to when a player is in a shooting slump; he has to play hard in other aspects of the game until he can get that easy shot to get himself rolling again. Hopefully now, the Blue Devils can start to roll again.
This year's version of the Blue Devils is surely talented, and with Kelly they were a wily veteran team led by three seniors. But without Kelly, they are once again quite young, starting two freshman. No surprise that the Kelly-less Blue Devils' two ACC losses came to two of the older teams in the league in Miami and N.C. State.
Duke is expected to get the services of Ryan Kelly back in time. But the important thing right now is for the team to take the momentum from the win over Maryland to Winston-Salem on Wednesday night. It is notable that for whatever reason, Kelly has had monster games against the Deacons when other Blue Devils struggled. He won't be there obviously this time. So it will be interesting: who will step up in his place?
We'll learn a lot more about this team between the Wake Forest game and the next road game on the horizon at Florida State. The rematch with a hot N.C. State team will follow. Duke can ill afford to let up against anybody, much less come up with an effort like they did down in Coral Gables. It seems as if they've made some real adjustments to their post-Kelly world, and have developed a newfound chemistry. Whether or not he returns, the team will likely have benefitted from the struggle.

Were those things packed in solid cases or something? Makes no sense... And still not a sniff of the damned Maul figure yet. Anyone else having better luck at their K-marts with these things?

text: I need to buy a scanner to scan paper invoices for my work. I want something that's fast but not crazy expensive. I don't care about scanning in color since I only need these to be saved on a HD or DVD if I ever have to give them to the IRS. I hate saving invoices for 7-10 years. I'd like to clean up the clutter. I've seen scanners over $10,000 and as cheap as $250 that can do this. I'd like to stay below $400. Does anyone have any suggestions of what would be best? 20-30 ppm is fine. I want something that isn't going to break after 100 uses. I read some reviews about scanners being great and the plastic was flimsy and breaking.

Module Lwt_stream
module Lwt_stream: sig..end
Data streams
type 'a t
Type of a stream holding values of type 'a
Naming convention: in this module all function taking a function which is applied to all element of the streams are suffixed by:
- _s when the function returns a thread and calls are serialised
- _p when the function returns a thread and calls are parallelised
Construction ¶
from f creates an stream from the given input function. f is
called each time more input is needed, and the stream ends when
f returns None.
val create : unit -> 'a t * ('a option -> unit)
create () returns a new stream and a push function
val of_list : 'a list -> 'a t
of_list l creates a stream returning all elements of l
val of_array : 'a array -> 'a t
of_array a creates a stream returning all elements of a
val of_string : string -> char t
of_string str creates a stream returning all characters of
clone st clone the given stream. Operations on each stream
will not affect the other.
For example:
# let st1 = Lwt_stream.of_list [1; 2; 3];; val st1 : int Lwt_stream.t = <abstr> # let st2 = Lwt_stream.clone st1;; val st2 : int Lwt_stream.t = <abstr> # lwt x = Lwt_stream.next st1;; val x : int = 1 # lwt y = Lwt_stream.next st2;; val y : int = 1

Returns the list of elements of the given stream
Returns the word composed of all characters of the given
Data retreival ¶
exception Empty
Exception raised when trying to retreive data from an empty
peek st returns the first element of the stream, if any,
without removing it.
npeek n st returns at most the first n elements of st,
without removing them.
get st remove and returns the first element of the stream, if
nget n st remove and returns at most the first n elements of
get_while f st returns the longest prefix of st where all
elements satisfy f.
next st remove and returns the next element of the stream, of
fail with Lwt_stream.Empty if the stream is empty.
next_new st if no element are available on st without
sleeping, then it is the same as next st. Otherwise it removes
all elements of st that are ready except the last one, and
return it.
If fails with Lwt_stream.Empty if the stream has no more elements
junk st remove the first element of st.
njunk n st removes at most the first n elements of the
junk_while f st removes all elements at the beginning of the
streams which satisfy f.
junk_old st removes all elements that are ready to be read
without yeilding from st.
For example the read_password function of Lwt_read_line use
that to junk key previously typed by the user.
val get_available : 'a t -> 'a list
get_available l returns all available elements of l without
val get_available_up_to : int -> 'a t -> 'a list
get_available_up_to l n returns up to n elements of l
without blocking

Note: all the following functions are destructive.
For example:
# let st1 = Lwt_stream.of_list [1; 2; 3];; val st1 : int Lwt_stream.t = <abstr> # let st2 = Lwt_stream.map string_of_int st1;; val st2 : string Lwt_stream.t = <abstr> # lwt x = Lwt_stream.next st1;; val x : int = 1 # lwt y = Lwt_stream.next st2;; val y : string = "2"
choose l creates an stream from a list of streams. The
resulting stream will returns elements returned by any stream of
l in an unspecified order.
map f st maps the value returned by st with f
filter f st keeps only value x such that f x is true
filter_map f st filter and map st at the same time
map_list f st applies f on each element of st and flattens
the lists returned
fold f s x fold_like function for streams.
iter f s iterates over all elements of the stream
find f s find an element in a stream.
find f s find and map at the same time.
combine s1 s2 combine two streams. The stream will ends when
the first stream ends.
append s1 s2 returns a stream which returns all elements of
s1, then all elements of s2
concat st returns the concatenation of all streams of st.
flatten st = map_list (fun l -> l) st
Parsing ¶
parse st f parses st with f. If f raise an exception,
st is restored to its previous state.
Misc ¶
hexdump byte_stream returns a stream which is the same as the
output of hexdump -C.
Basically, here is a simple implementation of hexdump -C:
open Lwt open Lwt_io let () = Lwt_main.run (write_lines stdout (Lwt_stream.hexdump (read_lines stdin)))

The results of the TORONTO 2015 Mascot Creation Challenge are in! PACHI the TORONTO 2015 Porcupine has been named the official mascot of the People's Games, making this home-grown creation the face of the largest multi-sport event Canada has ever hosted. PACHI was selected as one of the top contenders from more than 4,000 entries that were submitted by groups of kids from across Canada. PACHI the TORONTO 2015 mascot was the winner in the online voting contest, receiving more than 33,000 votes. Congratulations to Team Porcupine's Fiona Hong, Michelle Ing, Paige Kunihiro and Jenny Lee from Buttonville Public School.
Do you want PACHI the Pan Am/Parapan Am Porcupine to make an appearance at an event you're hosting? Fill out a mascot appearance request form.
On Saturday, April 12, 2013, Markham associations, businesses and residents were invited by the City of Markham to share ideas and provide input on bringing and building sport, tourism, culture, celebrations and volunteerism to Markham before, during and after the 2015 Games.
Take a look at the official City report that was released after this event.
As part of the Pan Am Mural Experience presented by CIBC, David Arrigo, one of Canada's top sports artists, visited all 13 Games' host municipalities this spring to capture their unique cultural and sporting history in individual one-of-a-kind artworks.
Arrigo, renowned for his energetic and bold artwork, visited the Cornell Community Centre & Library on March 23, 2013, and began capturing Markham's Pan /Parapan Am Games legacy on canvas. Markham's 1-metre by 1.5-metre masterpiece will be officially unveiled on July 10, 2013, as part of the two-year countdown to the Games at the Markham Civic Centre, and will remain as permanent mementos of the Games at one of the City's facilities.
Ready, set, COLOUR! Kids at the Cornell Community Centre & Library Grand Opening Celebrations had a chance to grab some coloured pencils and get their creative juices flowing. The workshop, led by author and illustrator, Kean Soo, was designed to inspire Markham children to enter the Toronto 2015 Mascot Creation Challenge and provide useful tips on how to design a winning mascot for the People's Game! Former professional boxer, Natalie Johnson, was in attendance to celebrate the opening of the new state-of-the-art facility and to rally the Pan Am spirit at the event.
The backdrop of heavy machines moving tons of earth and a cool fall morning on October 9, 2012, was not enough to dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic crowd of over 200 that turned out to mark the official groundbreaking of the future Markham Pan Am Centre. Federal and provincial government representatives along with Mayor Frank Scarpitti, Members of Council, officials from 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games, and Olympians Michelle Li and Christine Robinson were greeted with cheers as they broke ground with ceremonial shovels at the construction site in Markham Centre.

In early 2004, U.S. officials called a news conference in Baghdad to trumpet an intelligence coup: an intercepted letter from the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq setting forth his vision while outlining his worries about his organization's ability to combat an improving, American-backed Iraqi security force.
A decade later, it is the United States' turn to worry as the successors to Abu Musab Zarqawi, that now long dead militant leader, seize territory from a woefully ineffective Iraqi army and implement his extremist game plan with devastating precision.
In recent days, Sunni Muslim militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, have chased government forces from several key towns in western and northern Iraq, extending their geographic reach from eastern Syria to within an hour's drive of Baghdad. On Sunday, the militants reportedly captured two more border crossings into Jordan and Syria, a day after winning a fierce, three-day battle with Iraqi security forces for Qaim, a town on the Syrian border.
President Obama said Sunday that the rapid gains by ISIS in Iraq could spill into Jordanian territory and that the group "could amass more arms, more resources" in Syria.
The advances have moved the insurgents closer to establishing the transnational Sunni caliphate based on Islamic law that Zarqawi dreamed of — and American officials once dismissed as a pipe dream.
At the same time, and also worrisome for U.S. officials: Shiite Muslim militiamen have reappeared on the streets of Baghdad and other Iraqi cities, vowing to fight the insurgents and renewing the specter of sectarian war that ISIS hopes will draw Sunni civilians to its side.
Current and former U.S. officials acknowledge that much of the vision Zarqawi outlined in his 2004 letter — when Pentagon commanders described him as "terrified" — is coming to pass.
"The developments yesterday and the past several days walk right into what ISIS has been hoping for," said Seth Jones, a former U.S. counter-terrorism official now with the Rand Corp. think tank.
ISIS in many ways seems better equipped for a long, complex insurgency than its precursor organization of a decade ago, Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq. Rebranded as the Islamic State of Iraq after Zarqawi was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2006, the group exploited a U.S. military occupation to rally its fighters. Its current incarnation has railed against the Iraqi government that was formed during the U.S. occupation and has been led by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, a Shiite who critics say has systematically marginalized minority Sunnis.
Now headed by Abu Bakr Baghdadi, a reclusive former teacher, the group added Syria to its name to reflect its widening ambitions. In March 2013, ISIS seized the Syrian city of Raqqah, the first provincial capital it held, and by taking several more cities in eastern Syria over the last year the group has gained what Zarqawi wanted but never had: a safe haven in which to hide fighters and plot major operations.
In his 2004 letter to Al Qaeda leadership, Zarqawi lamented his inability to invite large numbers of foreign Islamic militants to Iraq to help fight U.S. and Iraqi forces.
"What prevents us from [calling] a general alert is that the country has no mountains in which we can take refuge and no forests in whose thickets we can hide," he wrote. "Our backs are exposed and our movements compromised."
Thanks to its conquests in Syria, analysts say, ISIS has become a magnet for foreign radicals, particularly from Europe. The influx of eager fighters has allowed the group to dramatically increase the pace of its attacks in Iraq over the last 18 months even as it continues to battle President Bashar Assad's troops in Syria.
In 2013, 277 suicide bombings occurred in Iraq, nearly all of which U.S. officials attribute to foreign militants from ISIS entering the country from Syria. In the 30 days before Iraq's parliamentary elections in April, there were 53 suicide bombings and civilian deaths approached levels not seen since 2008.
The main target of the bombings has been Iraq's majority Shiite community as attackers struck mosques, playgrounds and markets. The violence fit with the strategy espoused by Zarqawi a decade ago in which he called for slaughtering Shiites to provoke them into fighting back, thus drawing Sunni civilians to the militant group's side.
"If we succeed in dragging them [Shiites] into the arena of sectarian war, it will become possible to awaken the inattentive Sunnis as they feel imminent danger," Zarqawi wrote.
"The violence may appear indiscriminate, but it is not," a senior U.S. diplomat in charge of Iraq policy, Brett McGurk, testified to a congressional committee this year.
In 2006, Al Qaeda in Iraq was blamed for bombing a shrine in the northern Iraqi town of Samarra, one of the holiest sites in Shiite Islam, triggering a furious response from Shiite militias and plunging Iraq into sectarian war. This time around, ISIS has again threatened to lay waste to Shiite shrines, prompting Iraq's most influential Shiite clerics to call on followers to take up arms to defend the sites.
The largest and perhaps most fearsome demonstration of Shiite power occurred Saturday in east Baghdad, where thousands of fighters from the Mahdi Army, an officially disbanded Shiite militia, paraded in the streets with weapons. Though the Mahdi Army's leader, the radical anti-American cleric Muqtada Sadr, said they would only defend holy sites from attack, many fighters said they were ready to kill Sunni insurgents.
"It has galvanized the dormant Shiite militias," said Ghaffar Hussain, managing director of the Quilliam Foundation, a nonprofit organization that studies militant groups. "They are saying they're out to defend holy sites, but if things kick off, everyone becomes a target all of a sudden and things could get really messy."
What turned the tide against Zarqawi's followers in the mid-2000s was a buildup of U.S. troops and an uprising by Sunni tribal leaders who grew tired of the group's brutal tactics. Although Obama says he won't send ground troops back into Iraq, U.S. officials hope that limited military assistance will slow ISIS' advance and a new Iraqi government — perhaps led by someone other than Maliki — would defuse the sectarian tensions fueling ISIS' march.
Experts believe that Iraqi Sunnis don't support ISIS' strict interpretation of Islamic law, which bans alcohol and cigarettes and mandates that anyone caught stealing have his hands chopped off. But after its rapid gains in recent weeks, including seizing untold millions of dollars from banks in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, the group will probably be able to coax — or bribe — Sunni tribal leaders and civilians to its side, if only temporarily.
"They will try to bring them on board through this broader critique of the Maliki Shiite government," said Jones, the former counter-terrorism official. "If they can't do it that way, they will do it through fear."

I've been told numerous times already by my 7-year-old daughter than I don't love her, or she doesn't love me, or that I'm a stinky-head. She's got it rough, she thinks she does.
Like most kids, she's got a lot of stuff. Markers, crayons, books, butterflies, stuffed animals (covering just about every species). It's like the Loudon Wainwright song says, "Everything she sees, she wants. Everything she wants, I see she gets."
She has done more things at this point in her life than I did before I was 30. Everybody wants their kids to have a better life and she's on her way, although my life gets better every day as I watch my kids do more stuff, learn more stuff and become more stuff.
But, I have to admit, this week was pretty rough.
Last week she was able to win the spelling bee in her first-grade class. She was lucky because the girl she beat spelled "again" wrong. I asked her how to spell it and she said A-G-I-A-N. That put her against the other first-grade winners this week, so she spent the part of the weekend practicing. The night before the spelling bee, which was on a stage in front of all the first-graders, we went over words for more than hour. The only word she missed was "elephant" and the only reason I gave her that was so she would miss one.
We stopped when I asked her to spell "where" and she asked "wear like the clothes you wear? Or where like where are we going?"
The day of the spelling bee I raced home from work to find out how she made out. From the steps I could hear crying, so I knew it wasn't going to be good.
Poor kid spelled the first word wrong. The word was "did" she heard "digged" and spelled that. She later shook her head incredously, "dad, digged isn't even a word!"
But that wasn't the worst of it. She said one of her friends told her she let the whole class down. "Who am I going to eat lunch with now?" she said wiping tears away, "Who am I going to play with at recess?"
All you can do is hug 'em. The next day everything was back to normal as if nothing happened. Kids are resilient. The sting is gone.

"Macross Frontier The Movie: The Wings of Goodbye
The official website of the Macross Frontier anime series has confirmed that there will be two theatrical Macross Frontier films. While the first film will re-edit the story of the television series with new footage, the second film, which will be based also on the Macross Frontier TV series, will act as a sequel to the 2009 film, including a new story and new music.[19] In the Macross Frontier Girasama Festival, the movie's release date is confirmed to be on February 26, 2011."

This image is the same they used in Ep7 to explain cybernetics and implants, copare them:
So i think that person is no one in particular (or maybe Grace)
Kawamori said that this will be anew story so I expect some changes but not a whole different story, based on the trailer I think some story elements from the series will be in the movie like Sheryl being sick, the battle for the Vajra planet and of course Ranka becoming popular.
About the scenes on the beach, i think that will be a complete different situation and they won't do the "Macross Zero movie" again because it will be a waste of time (unless they only show some parts quickly).
And yeah too much Ranka/Alto scenes but it was to be expected since the movie will focus more on her, Sheryl got the lake scene with Alto last time so now Ranka will have a Beach scene with him.
Oh and count me in the pessimist Sheryl fans too, not because it's a Ranka centered movie but because now that in this story Ranka is Alto's friend/childhood friend, and I have the impression they will go with the cliche about chilhood friends

If the hero goes to the new girl, then we call it the "cliche" about the new girl
If the hero falls for the childhood friend, then we call it the "cliche" about the childhood friends
Relex ppl, if we can see through the ending from the trailer, then the movie itself isn't necessary anymore, isn't it??
I am a Ranka fan and I don't see anything too special in the trailer lol, so don't worry too much

About the kimono scene... Hopefully... It will be upgraded + uncensored X3 ......
As long that scene exsist... Sheryl fan can be @ ease
Still... I have a bad feeling..that scene will be skipped.... Because kawamori want to make it more different... So maybe alto will be with ranka more often and they would spend the night @ that beach... That beach somehow is the like the main event... continuation, conffesion or maybe rejection? Climax??
... Dammit... Februari is damn too long...eitherway... I am sure the ending will bring out my manly tears

It may be a bit off-topic but I have to spill it out. I've been watching anime for many years, and one of the things that I realized about the changes in anime industry is that how much the romance aspect is becoming more and more developed and realistic. Generalizing might be a wrong thing to do but what I am noticing nowadays is that the writers/directors are trying to give us proper resolutions instead of an open-ending or "safe" ones, even on series that doesnt have romance as the main focus. Harem endings are getting less and less common, and probably the Harem genre is trying to reformulate itself.
Recently, Ken Amatsu, the creator of Love Hina, a very popular series, gave an interview and then he said that the Harem genre is ending or something along those lines. Well, I think that its not the case, maybe they are just trying to take a different approach. Maybe people are getting tired of unrealistic characters and/or relationships in fictional works, and want to find more situations that they can relate to, and the creators were probably smart enough to notice this; and then tried to come with new ideas. I found myself very pleased when I was watching some one of those recent harems shows that have a huge amount of fanservice. Surprisingly enough, the creators focused on a particular girl, that was not the main heroine but was clearly the best choice, gave her a decent amount of development, and her relationship with the main guy became the more developed one, by far surpassing the other girls.
Macross is a series that I've always admired because of its originality. It is a story that tells us about romance, war and music at the same time, all mixed together, and it stills sounds serious, convincing, very dramatic and surprisingly deep. (Lets put Macross 7 aside for now )
When I watched the last episode of Macross Frontier, two years ago, I got extremely pissed, and its not just because of the unsolved love triangle, it was the whole presentation of the episode that really hurt me. It sounded like a huge musical video it was rushed, colorful, and they gave us a horrible remix of most songs like they are trying to tell us: "Hey, listen how good these songs are!!!". So, everything was covered in a happy and "love-and-peace" aura that destroyed all the previous drama build-up in the past 24 episodes to me.
On SDF Macross, Minmay was singing horrible pop music like "My boyfriend is a pilot" in the middle of a war for humanity survival. But the mood was totally different than the last Macross F battle. It felt like everyone was in a bloody battle, fighting for the lives; people are dying, suffering, getting desperate as their loved ones are dying in front of them So, while doing this, they at least gave us a decent portrayal of a war. It was still sad, painful, even with all of those pop songs in the background. Then here comes the point, in SDF Macross, those songs were used as a tool to end the war, they are not the main focus, but part of the war itself. While in the end of Macross Frontier, theyve become the first priority, and so on the war became like a big scenario to present an overload of songs. Its seemed that they put the fanservice in first place. Furthermore, they wanted to please everyone, and gave us an unsolved conclusion of the romance part. Thus, the balance between war, romance, and music was broken.
The last episode of MF, through my eyes, got the same weird vibes that Ive found in some of Kawamori's works like Macross 7, Sousei no Aquarion and most recently Basquash! Its like they try too hard to present us everything as colorful and cheesy as possible, with a shounen-like touch. Its a bit difficult to explain, but series like these sometimes are a bit too "commercial" and unrealistic to me. Because they often only focus in some elements that can easily please the audience; like brainless action, gorgeous presentation, fanservice, and "effective but plain" dialogues, and almost always forget to give us some serious character development and storytelling.
I am not saying that this is a "wrong" thing to do, and while MF episode 25 definitely had some of those elements, the whole series is still far from being a totally commercial show.
I'm not against fanservice or a more commercial approach in Macross series. It was product after all; and created to be profitable in the first place. I just hope that the movies does not forgot of what makes Macross so special to fans like myself, and give us a more "balanced" ending.

That's a pretty good post....and I think I have a few things I want to say
First of all, pop songs aren't always bad (I am pretty sure you didn't imply that, but let me just continue)...in the movie DYRL, the title song was originally a pop song from the alien culture, so it's no surprise that Macross Frontier just picks up this tradition and uses pop songs at the end. Of course, did the MF staff use those pop songs in the right way in the last episode? That's open to discuss I guess. Personally I think it's ok...and yeah, last battle was kind of like a happy party but I felt fine with it...it was like the show had many frustration (michael's death, Grace and Leon's evil plan, it's either human or vajra, etc...) and at the end everyone comes out, takes the burden off, beats the evil guys, and everyone is happy at the end...I am ok with that, because in MF it was about Grace and Leon took advantages of Vajra and Human, and I really enjoyed the ending when Human and Vajra cleared the misunderstanding, united and finished Grace once and for all...but if you put that kind of ending into other shows, like gundam 00, then perhaps I would feel otherwise...but I think MF is ok to have that kind of the ending...having said that, I fully aware that others may think the ending of MF is unrealistic and they probably have their points...
Talking about realistic, don't you think it would be realistic that Macross should allow polygamy?? Based on the setting, different cultures (living with the aliens) in the same ship, and the need to survive, grow, and prosper when they explore the new planets..etc. Sure, the original macross was still 1 guy and 1 woman but that was the time before the space exploration/colonization...
So, normally I like to watch one guy end up with one girl, but for macross, I have no problem accepting RankaxAltoxSheryl (of course, I am a ranka fan so rankaxAlto would be much better for me )...because I think it could be "realistic" and possible in macross universe...of course, that's just me

Elazul: You should watch older anime. Most of them were NOT open endings. The open ending type shows started becoming popular I'd say, in the mid to late 90's. Probably about the time you started watching anime. When I started watching anime in the mid to late 80's, open endings on romance aspects of the stories were few and far between.

Polygamy does happen in our society but its too a very delicate matter that defies various morals values and thus not acceptable in most cultures.
When I wrote about realism, it was meant to be about characters behaviors and situations that most people can relate to. Anime is a fictional work that aims to reach a certain audience. I bet that most people who watch anime dont want to see a story (which takes itself seriously) involving polygamy. It will be pointless, unnecessary polemic and even offensive to many.
Also, polygamy now is less common than it used to be in the past centuries. Youre simply assuming that in the MFs fictional future polygamy will become more acceptable, when the humanity took the opposite direction. Though Macross is set in on a futuristic universe, it is painfully obvious that the creators used our todays society as a basis, including our moral values, social institutions, etc. So, there is nothing in the whole Macross series that give us signs that polygamy is an acceptable.
Furthermore, a polygamous ending in MF is totally out of question. If we think about Sheryl, Ranka and Alto and all of their character development, we can easily realize that none of them will accept such a thing in the first place; it would be totally out of character. Second, the whole romance aspect is focused on a love triangle. It was not, by any means, about polygamy.
@ justinstrife
I am already doing this. I watched Kimagure Orange Road and Maison Ikokku in the past year... Both of them are very good with really great endings in my humble opinion.

Looks like we got to see more of Ranka, which I find a bit disappointing in the sens their concept of making one Movie for Sheryl and one movie for Ranka is a bit too (aka each girl gets her moment of glory)...'expected', 'simplistic', 'cliche'? Sheryl's and Ranka's fans got each what they want though
So it looks like the retelling still goes on, and I have a mixed feeling about it: should we be worried? @__@ While we obviously got many shots of the earrings, I'm not too sure where this is going on, and Ranka definitely got extra points with the beach scene, they really made it look good >//<
I'm also wondering about all the SherylxAlto scene of the end of the series (when he decides to stay by her side, they live together, when she goes to his house etc...): will they crop them all or most? Because if it's Ranka centered, they can't really include so much Sheryl related material ^^;
I guess my point is: they either didn't want to spoil us and showed a bit of both girls on purpose, or...there will be no resolution to the LT and I don't think I could bear with that, after desperately waiting for 2 years for a conclusion to it ;__;

Anyway, just watched the trailer-teaser, and i am so disappointed so far; needs WAY moar Sheryl. Half the trailer i was contemplating being between OTL and ORZ seeing so much Ranka, ehhhh. But anyway, it is just a teaser, so..
Also, in regards to the epic scene in MF#22, there better not be replaced by some shitty angst scene, where Sheryl is on her own crying and Alto is running away or something with manly tears. DNW, we want sex scene people.

I guess it comes down to how the audiences enjoy their animes then..I am the type who likes to put the setting into a more serious consideration...yes, you have your point (the staff using present values in MF, character development etc), but it's just that when I look at the setting of MF, they may have a chance of doing it (polygamy), due to the assumptions I made in my previous post....and when there is a slight possibility that polygamy is okay in this show, then I am ok to accept a harem ending
But if you ask me, do I like a harem ending in other series like A Town where you live, I''s, video girl, Suzuka, Ichigo 100%, etc...my answer would be no because those setting definitely do not allow polygamy XD

Lolol, nice.
I consider polygamy really lulzy in fiction and it would never, EVER fit with Macross or any kind of show that is not actually harem or idk what.
And there better be resolution in the second movie concerning the damn triangle /if that is even considered triangle, cause i never did consider it; i mean, it is not like SDF M, where Hikaru was standing between two sides but ended up leaning ultimately to Misa. In MF, Alto is clearly having a lot of chemistry with Sheryl, yet we get this shoved-ass trolling ending, which basically says 'oh, yeah Alto's actions might show this and that, but we gonna end it like this because we can. and we shall troll hur dur/ because it gets to the point where it is annoying; inevitably one side is gonna end up 'hurt' but that is how shipping works dahlings.

lol, I am pretty sure I didn't mean "serious=polygamy", I just meant I like to explore the setting more...
Hope I clarify that part XD
And I think Alto has a lot of chemistry with Ranka also...but of course, I fully understand this where is where our difference lays, so I will just stop here
and I don't think we got a troll ending
