Council chiefs have revealed a raft of cost-cutting plans which look set to hit the most vulnerable in society.
Derbyshire County Council (DCC) leader Cllr Anne Western told of her disappointment today as "devastating" proposals targeting vulnerable adults and children were announced.
The cash-strapped Labour-led authority needs to save £157m by 2018 as a result of Government cuts.
Cllr Western said: "We really don't want to make these devastating cuts – we don't relish this at all.
"We're facing massive financial pressures like never before and that means we've got some difficult decisions to make.
"We don't want to cut any services but we have no choice."
Under the controversial plans, parents of disabled youngsters could be made to pay for their child's transport to and from their place of learning.
The proposed changes could affect pre-school children, sixth form students and those aged 19 to 25 with a learning disability assessment.
Cllr Kevin Gillot, cabinet member for children and young people, said: "At a time when so many families are struggling with the cost of living crisis, it's really disappointing that we have to consider asking them to pay towards providing transport for their children."
In line with many other authorities, DCC is proposing to change who qualifies for council care and home help by raising the eligibility threshold to 'substantial'.
This would mean that only people who have been assessed as having substantial needs or above would be eligible to receive on-going support from the council in the future.
The proposals could result in 2,700 people losing their social care from DCC while 7,000 more look set to face an increase in the amount they have to pay for it.
Cllr Clare Neill, cabinet member for adult social care, said: "I have some very difficult decisions to make over the next few months.
"We're facing massive budget pressures and this will have a huge impact on adult care services in the future."
The plans will be considered by councillors next Tuesday and will be subject to public consultation.
Visit www.derbyshire.gov.uk/challenge for more details about the proposals.
Plans in detail
Adult care
• Proposals to change who qualifies for council care and support at home by raising the eligibility threshold from 'higher moderate' to 'substantial' level. This would affect up to 2,700 people currently assisted by the council, saving £4.5m.
• Proposals to increase the financial contribution 7,000 people make towards their care support, saving £5.5m.
• Proposals to reduce the housing-related support budget by £9m. Housing-related support services help vulnerable people to set up and maintain a home where they can live safely and well.
• Proposals to introduce a charge of £5 for transport to get to a day service and home again.
Children's services
• Proposals to introduce a charge of £349-a-year for transport for sixth form age pupils with special neducational needs or disabilities. This is the same rate charged to other sixth form transport users.
• Proposals to introduce a charge of £316-a-year for the cost of school transport for pre-school children with special educational needs. However, children from families receiving the maximum Working Tax Credit and entitled to free school meals would be exempt from the charge.
• Proposals to introduce a charge of £349-a-year for adults aged 19 to 25 with a learning disability assessment if they started their course before their 19th birthday. For those over 19 when starting their course, free travel would only be given where the council believed it was necessary.
• Proposals to terminate the council's contract with HomeStart – a charity which supports families in Amber Valley, High Peak, South Derbyshire and Erewash. The council would continue to offer continued suppport to local people through its network of children's centres.
Living wage
• The council's lowest-paid staff, including cleaners, school catering assistants and school crossing patrol workers, would have their pay increased. The 3,000 staff would see an increase in their hourly rate from April 1. They would be paid £7.65-per-hour.

Rethinking the way your organization buys and uses paper helps trim the bottom line and can generate positive publicity.
Follow the tips below to reduce your organization's office paper use, and visit NRDC's Paper Project for more detailed information and tools to help reduce office paper use.
Also, consider joining the EPA's free WasteWise program, which provides members with several benefits, including a technical assistance team that will help your organization conduct a waste audit and reduce waste.
For a useful discussion of waste reduction, see the EPA's Resource Conservation section on reduction and reuse.
For information on paper purchasing and paper recycling, see the Paper Purchasing and Recycling sections of this guide.

Reducing Paper Use Saves Money
A typical office disposes of about 350 pounds of wastepaper per employee per year. Identifying ways to reduce paper use can save money, time and space in your offices.
In 2005, the EPA Region 10 offices (in the Northwest U.S.) made a concerted effort to reduce paper use. Through a variety of initiatives including default double-sided printing and collection of scrap paper for reuse, the office reduced paper consumption by 30%, yielding an annual savings of $49,000.
Between 2000 and 2004, Bank of America reduced its paper consumption dramatically through an institution-wide campaign of online reports and forms, email, double-sided copying and lighter-weight papers. By reducing the basis weight of its ATM receipts from 20 pounds to 15 pounds, Bank of America saved more than just paper; this simple move also gained the bank additional savings in transportation, storage and handling costs, to the tune of $500,000 a year. Paper used for internal operations decreased 32%, saving more than a billion sheets of paper. A cost cut of $20,000 was made on a single report, by sending out postcards notifying clients that it was available online. By making forms available online instead of sending out hard copies, the company saved an estimated $10 million, not including the savings in postage and storage.

Paper Use Reduction Tips
- Subject to your organization's email policies, use e-mail instead of paper or faxes whenever practical – for internal memos as well as communications with clients and customers.
- Don't print e-mails. Put the words "save a tree, don't print me" in your organization's standard email signature.
- Print less: keep mailing lists current, and don't overprint copies or outside print jobs.
- Reuse what you can. Stock your fax machine with paper already printed on one side; reuse oversize envelopes and boxes; use one-sided "draft" paper in your printers.
Printers and Copiers
- As printers and copiers need to be replaced, purchase units that can print on both sides of a sheet of paper. Then set all computers and copiers to a default setting for double-sided printing.
- Save and collect 8.5 x 11 inch paper that's been printed on one side, restack it neatly, designate a paper drawer on each printer (or as many printers as practical), and use it to print drafts.
- Adjust the house style on word processing programs to use a slightly smaller font and slightly wider margins; use the electronic "edit" and "comment" features to work on drafts instead of printing.
Incoming Mail
- Cut down on the number of periodical subscriptions you buy. Survey to see who subscribes to what, then work out a sharing system.
- Reduce the amount of unwanted mail your organization receives by unsubscribing or requesting to be removed from generic mailing lists.
Office Kitchen
- Stock the kitchen with real mugs, plates, bowls and utensils to discourage the use of paper and plastic disposables. Consider cloth napkins or use paper towels with high post-consumer recycled content.
- Encourage employees who carry in lunches to use reusable bags and napkins. Consider providing sponsor-branded bags for employees to use.

Even though Microsoft's Surface gets the lion's share of the press, it's not the only tablet running the pared-down Windows RT operating system. The Asus Vivo Tab RT will be one of four Surface rivals going head-to-head with Microsoft's tablet this fall.
And while it doesn't best the Surface altogether, particularly when considering its inferior typing experience and smaller screen, it comes pretty damn close.
The Asus unit will cost $599 for the 32GB version, and $699 for 64GB. That's $100 more than the $499 Surface RT (also 32GB), but Asus includes a keyboard dock, which is an optional accessory with the Surface. (However, if you do want to buy the two components separately, it'll be initially sold as a Wi-Fi-only device when it hits stores on October 26, but AT&T will offer a 4G LTE version "in the near future.")
Editors' note: Due to similar software features, sections from this review were lifted from CNET's review of Microsoft's Surface RT tablet.
Measuring 10.4 inches wide, 6.7 inches tall, and 0.33 inch thick, the device is slightly shorter and lighter than both its Android counterpart and the Microsoft Surface (but to be fair, the latter does have a bigger screen). At just 1.18 pounds, the Tab RT is easy and comfortable to hold with one hand. But unless you grasp it with two hands, it does begin to weigh down on you if it's held for an extended period of time.
On the left side are a mobile dock latch, which lets you attach the unit to the keyboard hinge, a microSD card slot, and a Micro-HDMI port. Up top are a sleep/power button and a manual reset hole for when you want to hard-reset the device. On the right are a 3.5mm headphone jack and a volume rocker. Unlike the Surface, it lacks a native USB 2.0 port.
With its sober black and silver surfaces, the tablet sports much of the same handsome aluminum aesthetics as the Pad Infinity TF700, except for one noticeably bad difference -- the Windows device's back panel is sectioned off into two parts, one of which is about 2 inches wide and is made out of an unattractive lined plastic.
Like the Pad Infinity, the plastic panel is most likely to accommodate the GPS, since its signal can travel easier through plastic than metal. Why Asus widened the panel and added unattractive ridges, however, are beyond us. Other dissimilarities include the back panel's lined finish (instead of the concentric circular pattern seen on the Infinity) and an additional speaker on the right side of the rear.
Purely based on aesthetics, we prefer the Tab RT's design more than Microsoft's Surface. It feels more premium and luxurious than the Surface's VaporMg casing, but if it came down to it, we'd give up a sleeker look for a built-in USB port anyday.
|Asus Vivo Tab RT
|Asus Transformer Tab Infinity TF700
|Microsoft Surface
|Weight in pounds
|Weight with keyboard in pounds
|Width in inches (landscape)
|Height in inches
|Depth in inches
|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
The keyboard has good build quality, and its design doesn't stray much from the Infinity's keyboard. We liked its sleek, dark chrome finish. Buttons are easy to press and sturdy, though we initially fumbled a couple of times with the smaller-than-usual shift key. On the right is a USB 2.0 port and on the left is a charging port. Through an included adapter, the charging port can become a second USB port.
When attached, the tablet and the keyboard weigh 2.38 pounds. Together, they take on the appearance of a more traditional laptop or ultrabook than the Surface. We like that the buttons depress downward, unlike the Surface's, which give you a physical form of feedback. Furthermore, when typing on a lap, the Vivo Tab can remain upward without a kickstand, making it easier to move around and adjust yourself.
On the whole, though, because the Surface's Touch Cover and Type Cover have more generously sized keys, it's more comfortable to type on and we made fewer typing errors than on Asus' keyboard. In addition, there were a lot of times when we connected the Tab RT together with the keyboard, but the trackpad's cursor would never show up unless we rebooted the tablet. And we have to admit, the magnetized snapping feature on the Surface's keyboard is way more satisfying, superficial as it may be.
The device is equipped with a Corning Fit Glass 10.1-inch IPS+ touch screen that has a 1,366-by-768-pixel resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and 600 nits of brightness. On the back there's an 8-megapixel camera with a LED flash and on the front is a 2-megapixel camera.
Hardware features
Powering the device is a 1.3GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU and a 12-core GPU, also from Nvidia. It and the keyboard run on a 25-watt-hour and a 22-watt-hour battery, respectively. Also included are 2GB of RAM, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a GPS.
Software features and OS
The Vivo Tab RT runs on Windows RT, which is split between two interfaces: a tile-based interface (formerly known as "Metro") that includes the Start screen and a somewhat traditional Windows interface called Desktop. Desktop includes most control panels and settings one would expect on a Windows operating system, in addition to a skinned version of Internet Explorer 10 made to look like 9 and a free copy of Office 2013 preview. No additional apps can be installed to the Desktop interface, however.
Though Microsoft no longer calls its new interface Metro (and has not given it a new name), for the sake of clarity, we're going to continue calling it Metro here. If you own an Xbox 360, you'll already be very familiar with Metro's look. Each app is represented by a tile and each can be arranged into different groups. Groups can further be zoomed out and named as you see fit. Tiles can also be made smaller or larger.
Swiping inward from the right bezel brings up the Charm bar, which consists of Search, Share, Start, Devices, and Settings. This menu is context sensitive so depending on which app you have open, selecting Settings, for example, will deliver you the settings for that particular app.
Swiping from the left bezel into the screen launches the most recent app, and if you swipe right then left, you'll get a list of recent apps. Swiping from the top or bottom bezel reveals additional app options at the bottom of the screen, and finally, swiping from the top bezel to the bottom closes an app.
This is obviously different from other tablet interfaces, and it's a lot of new stuff to learn. Some users will be discouraged by the unfamiliarity of things (we know we were), but those who stick with it will discover that's it's actually an elegant tablet interface solution.
Selecting search from the Charm bar allows you to search within the current primary app. Share allows you to quickly e-mail information from the current app or share it to social networks via the People social app (which integrates Twitter and Facebook). Start toggles between home and the last app that was opened. Devices is a list of hardware you currently have networked to the tablet that can interact with the current app, including microSD cards and printers.

Assistantships & Internships
Our students have the opportunity to gain valuable experience in academic and student affairs offices, both at Kent State and in a variety of other types of institutions in the area.
Many HIED students gain valuable work experience and receive help to finance their education through graduate assistantships at colleges and universities throughout northeast Ohio. Assistantships include assignments in various areas of student affairs, such as residence life, Greek affairs, and academic advising. Admitted students are invited to campus for a 2-day event in early spring, during which they meet other students in the program, interact with faculty, and interview for assistantships. The 2019 event, called GA Days, will be held on February 17-18. Please note that a number of assistantship sites in the past have wished to conduct second interviews. We encourage you to make travel arrangements for late Tuesday (February 19) or Wednesday (February 20) to account for this possibility.
To be eligible for a graduate assistantship (GA'ship), you will be required to complete the GA Application; the link to this application will be provided to you upon your admission to the program.
Master's students are required to complete 2 internships for their program; an additional 3rd internship may be used as an elective on one's plan of study (a maximum of 9 credit hours of internship can count toward the degree). Students can learn more about the internship/practicum experience through the Practicum Manual.
To apply for a practicum/internship opportunity, please complete the Internship Practicum Application and return to Dr. Thomas, 401-K White Hall, or bring to the practicum meeting on the first Friday of the semester in which you will be doing your practicum/internship.

What they didn't know was that they'd also be taught by a Clarkson alumna from her home in Florida thanks to distance-learning technology.
Bridget Marnocha '87 (ECE) is a former vice president and chief operating officer of Stanley Security Solutions Division. She is now a self-employed supply chain management consultant. Marnocha came on board to team teach with Wasserman this past semester, using technology that transmits her via live feed to the classroom and giving students an inside look at what it's really like to be an executive at a top company.
Bringing alums and other corporate executives into the classroom electronically is something Wasserman has considered for several years. "But the technology, Web-based video, is only now becoming robust and ubiquitous enough to make it happen," he says.
He and Marnocha used relatively simple technology to get the job done. This included inexpensive webcams at both ends and Skype, a software program that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet. Marnocha was projected onto a large screen via the classroom computer.
The course, which analyzes and explores how firms develop competitive advantage and become high-performing through strategic decision making, was originally supposed to include just one "guest appearance" by Marnocha. However, the experience went over so well with students that Wasserman decided to keep her on as a regular throughout the semester.
"Bridget is an ideal teaching partner - she has great industry experience at Stanley Works and GE and her personality and enthusiasm really helped bridge the gap between the classroom and the Web," says Wasserman.
Marnocha's real-world insights and experiences offered students a chance to see how executives make strategic decisions and initiated lively discussion. She also took the time to give students individual career advice and help with networking outside the classroom.
Wasserman says, "The relationships Bridget formed with students in the class, even though she wasn't physically there, were an important part of the whole learning experience."
His students agree. "Bridget's virtual presence in the classroom added a whole new level of learning to the classroom," says senior Kate Reardon '09. "We were utilizing technology that many companies use to communicate, while learning from an impressive global business leader who brought much of our material to life. It was a unique and amazing experience."
As for Marnocha, she hopes that the success of this learning experience for students will serve as a model for future classroom-industry collaborations. "Mike customized the course materials and together we applied the concepts to real-time strategic events," she says. "It was very rewarding to create an executive business review climate with such talented students. I hope virtual technologies can continue to bring more alumni into the classroom."

Telling Grief's Story
When we lose someone dear to us, it can be as if our heart has been ripped away. How can you deal with such loss?
1. When we tell the truth, it makes us strong. Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, once said, "Any sorrow can be borne if a story can be told about it." This is the raw truth behind any story that begins in grief and ends in gratitude.

Bisons sweep series with Austin Peay with 73-70 win
CLARKSVILLE - The Lipscomb Bisons expected a barnburner at Austin Peay and that is exactly what they got.
The Bisons (5-2) capitalized on a couple of key steals in the final minute to hold on for a 73-70 win. It was the home opener for Austin Peay (5-5) at the Winfield Dunn Center.
The Bisons beat Austin Peay from the Ohio Valley Conference 104-101 in overtime Nov. 18. The home-and-away sweep was the first for Austin Peay since Western Kentucky did it during the 2001-2002 season.
The Bisons led 30-28 at halftime. Center Adnan Hodzic has managed only two points in the first 20 minutes.
"I did a poor job in the first half of getting Adnan the ball," coach Scott Sanderson said.
Guard Josh Slater was the most active and consistent player for the Bisons, scoring a game-high 23 points. Slater also had eight rebounds.
Hodzic managed to score 11 points in the second half to extend his double figures scoring streak to 64 games. Hodzic also pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds. It was the first time since Jan. 24, 2008 that Hodzic brought down more rebounds than points scored. He had three points and four rebounds against Mercer.
Also in double figures for the Bisons were Brandon Barnes with 14 and Brandon Brown with 10.
The game remained extremely close throughout the contest. There were 14 lead changes and the score was tied on 13 occurrences.
Lipscomb seemed to maintain control of the game for most of the second half until the Govs held the Bisons to one basket over three minutes and took a 67-65 lead with 1:54 to play. The Bisons turned the ball over on the next possession giving APSU an opportunity to take its largest lead of the half.
But after a missed trey and missed follow-up attempt, the Bisons dashed down the floor for a layup by Brandon Brown to tie the game. After the Govs brought the ball past half court, Brown stripped John Fraley and laid the ball in to give Lipscomb the two point advantage, 69-67.
After a missed jumper by Austin Peay, Slater was fouled with 27.6 seconds left. He hit both to secure win.
Lipscomb shot 50 percent from the floor while holding the Govs to 40.9 percent. The Bisons shot 57.7 percent (15-of-26) in the second period.
Tyshwan Edmondson paced Austin Peay with 21 points and eight rebounds.
The loss marked the first time Austin Peay lost a home-and-away series in the same season since the 2001-02 season when Western Kentucky swept the Govs.
The Bisons are 3-0 against OVC teams this season. They play at Tennessee Tech Saturday night at 7 in Cookeville, the fourth game against an OVC team this season.

Rather Than Punishing Moviegoing Texters, Why Not Provide Incentives For Them To Put Down Their Phones?
from the positive-reinforcement,-rather-than-negative-reinforcement dept
So, it appears that the Cinemark chain of theaters is trying a system of positive reinforcement. Within its normal movie app for iOS and Android is a separate "mini-app" allowing users to put their phones into "CineMode." It automatically makes the screens on the phones dim, and puts them into vibrate mode -- sort of like an equivalent to airplane mode. But here's the kicker: since the app knows what you're doing, it can keep track of whether or not you actually follow through and leave CineMode enabled throughout the entire flick. For the users who do that, they get rewarded:
When the movie ends and the guest exits CineMode, Cinemark will automatically send a reward (digital coupon) through the app and store it in the Rewards section.Who knows how well it will work in practice, but it's great to see people realizing that technology can help enable this kind of positive reinforcement, rather than always doubling down on the negative reinforcement/punishment.

"Will Iran Be Next?"
A better subtitle would be: A TV News-Style Roundtable Discussion Shows Why Policy Isnt Made in One Three-Hour Sitting. James Fallows article describes a forum of policy wonks and former officials, sponsored by the Atlantic, who are seated in a room one morning, given few instructions on how to decide anything, and then recorded by videotape to ensure their egos can do the talking for them. The incoherent results are reprehensibly passed off as a mirror of the most plausible, current, non-classified information. (One very alert reader insists that this article is a CIA plant to throw the mullahs off. If only that were so!)
The forum is that of a meeting of the Principals Committee, the most senior national security officials of the next administration. Here is mistake number one: by trying to include both Democratic and Republican viewpoints in their committee, the Atlantic has seriously watered down the decisions of a group comprised solely of either partys officials. Waiting until the election results were clear would have made for a much more realistic forum to discuss the Iran dilemma.
The next mistake is the assumption that Iran would defy the deadline set by the IAEA for satisfying its demands. This is no doubt a result of the vagaries of journalistic deadlines, but aside from the fact that this assumption has proven wrong (link), it ignores the possibility that Iran will both agree to IAEA demands and continue with its weapons program clandestinely which is entirely possible and would require a wholly different set of considerations.
The purpose of the war game is to force attention on the three or four main issues the next President will have to face about Iran . . . and this is rightly how to define the deliberations and product of a Principals Committee meeting. But the wargame unduly focuses their discussion on the use of force. Diplomacy, economic sanctions, CIA covert operations, are all left out of the discussion, though one must assume that a meeting of the Principals Committee is where the combined application of these other elements of national power would most likely be weighed and counterbalanced against each other. The limitations that this imposes will soon be clear.
The participants in the wargame were: Sam Gardiner, a retired Air Force Colonel, with many years of experience in developing wargame and other simulation exercises, this time posing as National Security Advisor. David Kay, the former US weapons inspector, played the role of Director of Central Intelligence. Two different individuals play Secretary of State, Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former case officer in the CIA, meant to be the conservative, and Kenneth Pollack, a former CIA analyst, meant to be the liberal.
Kenneth Bacon, a former Clinton administration official, played the White House Chief of Staff, and Michael Mazarr, a professor of national-security strategy at the National ar College, was the Secretary of Defense.
In addition to these participants, there were three observers: Harvard Universitys Graham Allison, Marine Colonel Thomas X. Hammes, and Army Major Donald Vandergriff, the three of whom are known for their expertise or innovative thinking in defense-related decision-making. Being only observers, they can be let off the hook for the results.
So what happens when several once and future wonks gather to debate policy while being videotaped? As Steinbeck once wrote, it was "as spontaneous as peristalsis and as interesting as its result." In short, the "war game" had significant problems.
Aside from the fundamental limitations above, the "game" suffered from no clear mechanism for detailed planning. There was no brainstorming session, no attempt to weigh one idea against another. Instead, a free-for-all took place.
Consider for example:
-The roleplaying nature of the game was "loose":
"Sometimes the participants expressed their institutions' views; other times they stepped out of role and spoke for themselves."
How is it possible for them to express institutional views when those institutions -- the State Department and the CIA for example -- are undergoing significant post-election upheaval? Is it not off the mark to say that the institutions whose views they were expected to express don't know what their views are yet?
-The most critical of their product are the gamers themselves, noting for example, the lack of a red cell to figure out the options of the Iranians. Notes Fallows:
"'Process' sounds dull, and even worse is 'government decision-making,' but these topics provoked the most impassioned comments from panelists and observers when they were interviewed after the war game."
How ironic when they had no process to speak of themselves!
Perhaps mirroring an actual military war game,but without the actual troop movements, would be a better way to untie this knot.
Let us wade through the gobbledy-gook in this article and see what we can find.
The assumptions of the planners/gamers:
1. All of our information leads us to believe that Iran will have nuclear weapons capabilities within three years. This information may not be everything though, and there could be factors we have no idea about that will speed the process.
2. There are two wild-card factors: Iran's involvement in Iraq and Israel's potential involvement with Iran.
Using these two assumptions as starting points, the panel then proceeds to veto nearly every possible tool to affect the Iranian weapons program:
An Israeli strike? The Israelis know they don't have the capability for that! They would have to hit every missile in addition to all the nuke sites! They won't risk a counterattack with chemical weapons! We should tell them to pipe down!
Iran's influence on current US actions in Iraq? The Iranians can make it very difficult for us there if they want! The Iranians might provoke every Shi'ite to rise against us! It could get bloody!
They then consider three military courses of action (COA) for the US to take against Iran:
1. "A punitive raid against key Revolutionary Guard units, to retaliate for Iranian actions elsewhere, most likely in Iraq."
This is a truly baffling option. Weren't we discussing the Iranian nuclear program? How does attacking the Iranian military affect the development of Iran's nuclear weapons, except to force them to speed it up as much as possible? And what Iranian actions are we retaliating against? Do we already possess evidence of these actions? The inclusion of this option is inexplicable, unless one remembers that when planners are forced to come up with three options, one of them is usually called the "throwaway COA."
2. "A pre-emptive air strike on possible nuclear facilities;"
Much more like it. Now we are talking.
3. "A 'regime change' operation involving the forcible removal of the mullahs government in Tehran."
Certainly appears to be an option, though appearances can be deceiving.
The panel then begins to pick apart each and every one of these three options. Their over-riding goal throughout this exercise is to eschew any and all risk.
Striking the Iranian military? This is supposed to be a measured response to Iranian meddling in Iraq, "and a first step in laying the groundwork for the ultimate step of regime change." Here we see that this first option is nothing more than option three light. It cannot really be undertaken unless the US is willing to go all the way in removing the regime.
The pre-emptive air strike? The US would attack 300 different sites involved in the development of nukes, chem or bio weapons, all in a matter of five days.
An invasion of Iran? Meant to change the regime? Here the panel gets bogged down in details -- where will the feints be? What airfields will the invasion force use? Will it be light, with few divisions and lots of special forces? Or heavy, with many divisions and lots of special forces?
Then, the panel mentions that the invading forces will avoid any stability operations. This is fascinating. Why would the panel assume that a US force would avoid stability operations, given our recent experience in Iraq? Fallows asks this of Gardiner:
"How could the military dare suggest such a plan after the disastrous consequences of ignoring 'stability' responsibilities in Iraq? Even now, Gardiner said after the war game, the military sees post-conflict operations as peripheral to its duties. If these jobs need to be done, someone else must take responsibility for them."
This is nothing short of alarming. First, the post-invasion instability in Iraq was not the fault of the US military. The fault for the lack of planning rests with poor interagency coordination. Stabilty operations must have an overt political goal -- in this case, establishing a government -- and while the removal of Saddam's regime was a rousing success, the quick and efficient installation of the next regimes -- the CPA and the Interim Government -- were a failure. Military planners are not to blame for this inaction -- civilian planners are. In fact, US military units, who were living in Iraq, and had quite a stake in not seeing instability, are to be commended for adapting to the situation and preventing further instability than occurred.
Second, the idea that the military see post-conflict operations as peripheral to its duties is flat-out wrong. Marines for example, have been training for and conducting Miliary Operations Other than War or MOOTW -- what could also be called Small Wars -- for the better part of a century. And the military has moved to make postwar planning a priority in future conflicts as well.
More about this fictional invasion of Iran:
"Our objective is to be on the outskirts of Tehran in two weeks. The notion is we will not have a Battle of Tehran; we don't want to do that. We want to have a battle around the city. We want to bring our combat-power to the vicinity of Tehran and use Special Operations inside the capital. We have no intention of getting bogged down in stability operations in Iran afterwards."
In other words, the war plan is a reproduction of the plan for the invasion of Iraq, but without the guts to take a city. And rather than admit the US did poorly in post-conflict planning in Iraq, and then try to improve on that, the plan avoids all post-conflict involvement whatsoever.
This is a dangerous plan and the panel recognizes this and rejects it.
Sitting on the outskirts of the capital and waiting for a miracle to occur and a regime to evaporate -- especially a totalitarian one -- is not a recipe for success.
The article goes downhill from there, ending with these words:
"After all of this effort, I am left with two simple sentences for policymakers," Sam Gardiner said of his exercise. "You have no military solution for the issues of Iran. And you have to make diplomacy work."
Perhaps Mr. Fallows and his posse have no solutions, but The Adventures of Chester does. Before that though, let us examine some of the panel's assumptions which were not as obvious:
1. Any military action will reflect current thinking within the Pentagon.
2. The only way to stimulate a regime change is through military force.
3. The military has no stomach for stability operations (this one was obvious).
4. The buildup to an invasion cannot be disguised.
5. The US military is too overstretched for an invasion of Iran at this point in time.
6. If a pre-emptive strike only succeeded in delaying the Iranian program, they would sooner or later have weapons after all.
Tomorrow, The Adventures of Chester will address each of these assumptions and offer an alternative analysis and course of action. As the week progresses, we'll examine each part of this alternative one bit at a time.

In a funk
It is shaping up to be an odd political season in Mammoth. Even as eight candidates are scrambling for three seats on the Mono County Board of Supervisors, the Town of Mammoth Lakes is eerily quiet.
With just one non-incumbent (restaurant owner Michael Raimondo) having filed nomination papers, the Town Council on Wednesday cancelled the June municipal election. Instead, the council appointed Raimondo and current Mayor Jo Bacon to fill the two spots in June.
Why did this happen?
It used to be that Mammoth was a vibrant political arena, and not just at the council level.
The Planning Commission at one time was a tumultuous free-for-all. The Airport Commission had so many items on its agendas that it was a something of an achievement to get all the way through a regular meeting.
This week, the Planning Commission, having scaled back its meetings to once a month, canceled due to "lack of agenda items." The same went for the airport commissioners, who canceled their meeting next week for the same reasons.
We asked longtime councilmember John Eastman if he had a theory as to the noiselessness.
"I don't know," he said. "I haven't really even thought about it."
Meanwhile, councilman Skip Harvey filed nomination papers and then withdrew them. He said in apparent jest, "I think you'd be foolish to run for office right now." We tend to think it wasn't so much in jest at all.
Let's face it: Mammoth is in a funk.
The specter of the impending $42 million judgment hangs over the town, and if there is no settlement, there will be a bankruptcy. The game is up, and anyone running for a four-year term has to deal with that. Bacon is in. Raimondo is in. There is no one else.
There is something more at work, though.
Mammoth has almost always had one very serious issue that served as a fulcrum in all out political dealings.
That issue was all about development, and you could almost split the town into two political parties: one pro-development, the other anti-development. That single issue was the reason why such passion emerged in our municipal elections and our subsequent council and planning meetings.
Nowadays, there is no such incendiary issue. No one's building, no one's taking that risk right now—what with the unsettled settlement, a drought year, layoffs at Mammoth Mountain and silent cash registers all over town.
Those are the ingredients for a big-time funk, and it's not just we who think that.
The would-be candidates think like that, too, which is why they're not running.

2018 Mazda3 Sport Gs Review
2018 mazda3 sport gs review – Mazda never disappoint when bringing new models to the public and this Mazda simply follows in the tracks of all of the cars that came before it. The emphasis of this car is pure and indulgent fun, as just Mazda has brought to their loyal followers over the past decades.
With the world in a recession and numerous car manufacturers going out of business, the 2018 mazda3 sport gs review couldn't come at a better time to lift the spirits of downtrodden car enthusiasts. The factors of economy and value for money couldn't be more significant or looked at when new versions come onto the scene today.
This Mazda was created by the same design team as the rest of Mazda's modern family of cars. It looks stunning for the segment. Mazda HQ managed to make an athletic and svelte car shape.
The inside in particular have a contemporary look that should age gracefully — as most of its predecessors have. The cabin still feels fresh, with excellent ergonomics, a modern design and high quality finishes and materials; and I really enjoy the sporty-looking instrument cluster. It also had superior materials throughout and seemed more expensive than its price tag would indicate.

TVH Weekly: Andrus Peat, James Ross, and More
TVH Weekly: Andrus Peat, James Ross, and More
The theme of 2012 recruiting for Michigan so far has been wide receivers and linemen. Forty of the (approximately) sixty-seven offers have gone to wide receivers, defensive, and offensive linemen. MGoUser umhero has been gracious enough to update the offer list here. If you'd like to go even more in depth, Rescue_Dawn has used his free time to create a recruiting map. As always, if you would like more updates from me you can head over to Twitter and folllow me @TomVH. If you have any recruiting tips or questions please email me at [email protected].
Andrus Peat
6'6", 270 lbs.
Offensive Tackle
Tempe, Arizona
Another recruit out in my neck of the woods, Peat has racked up offers from almost everywhere. Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame, Texas... you name the school they've offered Andrus. That offer list includes the Wolverines. Andrus returns some early interest, and wants to find out more about the program.
I definitely have interest in Michigan. Their program's prestige and just how they have consistently won over the years is definitely a plus for me. The fact that they produce great offensive linemen, and NFL guys is great too. Michigan is definitely a school I would like to get out and see. I'm going wait until all my offers come in and then go from there. I'll take some spring and summer visits then cut my list towards the end of the summer.
Peat's father played in the NFL and his brother was a Nebraska signee for the 2011 class so he has some familiarity with the process. The fact that his brother chose a team to the north says distance may not be a factor. It's too early to tell if Michigan will make the cut. They have their work cut out for them since they're competing against the world.
James Ross
6'0", 209 lbs.
Orchard Lake, Michigan
Ross is probably the top prospect in the state of Michigan for the 2012 class. He has been racking up the offers lately, and recently received a verbal one from Ohio State. James and his father recently visited Ann Arbor before the Best of the Midwest combine so they could get a better feel for the new coaches. His father (also named James) told me about how that trip went.
We've been up there quite a few times, but I wanted him to meet the new staff. The staff was actually trying to get him up there as much as I was. Everything was smooth, everything they said was what he was looking for.
I'm not sure I even need to say this any more, but Greg Mattison has again left his mark on a recruit.
He fell in love with coach Mattison. I never paid attention early on to coordinators that much, but that guy was great. He was kinda funny too. He and coach Hoke broke it all open for him. We were there close to three hours just talking about football with Mattison, and more conversation with Hoke. Hoke's like a good ole boy, it was refreshing.
Besides gaining comfortability with the new coaches there were a few questions that were answered on the visit as well.
I know I read what type of defense they were going to run, and they told us it's going to be a 4-3. We run a 3-4 at Orchard Lake St. Mary's. What they want out of him is probably better for James, though. They said they want him to play WILL linebacker to emphasize his speed and have him free, a lot of blitzing, and basically let him play his game. James and the coaches saw eye to eye on that, I disagreed, but James thought that was good.
This visit did a lot for Michigan for both Mr. Ross and his son. It gave them a clear picture of how James would be used, and the people that would be coaching him as well. Mr. Ross is a Michigan fan, but has made sure he lets James make his own decision. Mr. Ross thinks that James will likely make his decision once he finds the place he feels is right.
Kyle Dodson
6'6", 315 lbs.
Offensive Tackle
Cleveland, Ohio
As I mentioned last night, Dodson received a Michigan offer yesterday. He's a monster offensive lineman reporting other offers from Illinois, Michigan State, NC State, and West Virginia.
[Michigan] was definitely a school I wanted an offer from. Coach Funk was the one that offered me. He said they enjoyed watching my film and I look like a player they want at Michigan. They have a lot of tradition, and even though they haven't been playing that well lately I still have a lot of interest in them. I'm definitely going to try to make it up there for the Junior Day.
Growing up in Ohio typically means there are some ties to Ohio State, and that's true for Kyle.
How I was raised, I grew up a Buckeye fan and not liking Michigan. Now that I'm more mature and I'm looking at schools it's completely different. This is my decision, and it's going to be my choice so all that stuff goes out the window. I'm first looking at academics, because I want to major in criminal justice, second a family based football team, and third the environment and surroundings.
Dodson is planning on taking a trip to Ohio State soon, and could see an offer soon from the Buckeyes. He's also getting attention from Auburn, Oregon, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.
A Few Names to Watch:
Illinois DT Jaleel Johnson (6'2", 277 lbs) is expecting a Michigan offer in the next two weeks, and told me he will definitely be at the Junior Day.
Georgia DT Jordan Watkins (6'5", 260 lbs) is hoping to hear from Michigan. Watkins has a 3.66 GPA and offers from Auburn, Georgia Tech, and Miami to name a few. His film is here.
New York DB Wayne Morgan (5'11", 188 lbs) just received an offer from Alabama. His high school DB coach told me has interest in Michigan. Here are his sophomore highlights, junior film should be done this week.
Cali DT Ellis McCarthy (6'4", 310 lbs) his coach tells me Michigan is interested and has his film. He's extremely athletic for his size, quick, and goes whistle to whistle. Junior film is here.
Texas DE Mario Edwards (6'4", 260 lbs) already has big time offers and has had contact with Michigan, according to his coach. His coach also told me they've produced NFL talent before and Mario might be better than all of them. Mario's dad also played for the Dallas Cowboys. Junior Film.
- Illinois OL Jordan Diamond took in an unofficial visit to Ann Arbor, and told me how that went.
- Michigan DE Matt Godin was offered by Michigan and will be back up to Ann Arbor on Tuesday with his dad to talk to the coaches. He and Danny O'Brien give an update on where they're at here.
- Georgia DE Jordan Jenkins, Cali WR Jordan Payton and OL Jordan Simmons were all offered.
- Offensive linemen Kyle Murphy and Tyler Alt gave me an update on where they're at.
- Detroit OL Daron Brown (6'5", 310 lbs) took an unofficial visit to Michigan hoping for an offer. He told me he didn't get the offer, but the coaches told him they were definitely interested.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's tennis team collected five victories on the second day at Steve Baras Fall Classic at Tennessee-Chattanooga.
Two Bisons advanced to the finals in singles.
"I am happy again with our team's performance," coach Mario Hernandez said. "I like the fact that we are fighting and working hard in our matches consistently."
In singles play, junior Daniel Hernandez and freshman Rob Mitchell qualified for the final round.
"I'm excited to see that we have a few players in the finals," coach Hernandez said. "Rob and Daniel have progressed to the finals of their singles. Then we have two doubles teams in the finals with Daniel Hernandez and David Salazar as well as Rob and John Tougher."
In doubles play, Salazar and Hernandez, who were seeded No. 2 on their flight, defeated a duo from ETSU 8-6.
Mitchell and Tougher, also the second seed in their respective flight, added another victory for the Bisons in doubles by defeating a team from Lee 8-3.
"These results are great confidence boosters for the guys and help build a strong belief in the team that we are going to be able to be successful this spring," coach Hernandez said. "There are a couple areas we need to keep improving on, but overall I am happy with our team.
"However, the coaching staff and the team know that with our recent success this season, we have not accomplished anything yet. We are judged by how we do in the spring and all of these tournaments and practices are preparation for the spring."
Four finals are scheduled for Sunday.

Billboard rules set stage
Billboard rules set stage
for dirtier, unsafe highways
The Standard-Times reported that the Massachusetts state government has approved digital billboards and suggested that cities and towns need to get their regulations in order ("New rules could leave cities, towns scrambling to regulate 'televisions in the sky,'" Dec. 12).
In addition to the distractions of texting and calling on cell phones, ranting radios and eating fast foods, all drivers need is "blinking" billboards. Maine outlawed billboards many years ago and is more beautiful as a result. Our roadsides are more cluttered with fast-food trash and cigarette butts since the behavior of drivers is evidently more influenced by highways littered with billboards than by the rare small signs warning of fines for littering.
One is reminded of the verse by Ogden Nash written nearly 80 years ago:
I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all!
David W. Briggs

BAYOU BLUE, LA (WAFB) - The sinkhole is growing. According to the Assumption Parish President, the sink hole has lost another 20-foot section. On Thursday, 50-feet fell in. No one was injured when the land fell in either time.
Crews are expected to being drilling the observation well tonight between 4 p.m. and midnight, weather permitting.
People living near the massive sink hole who had to be evacuated will be getting some money for their trouble. Beginning August 17, each home will be receiving $875 per week.
Residents must submit a driver's license or other photo ID to confirm they live near the sink hole.
Checks are being issued at the Sheriff's substation in Pierre Part.
Assistance for Bayou Corne Area Residents to be available Friday, August 17
Firm selected to handle aid to those affected by evacuation order
Residents affected by the August 4 evacuation order resulting from the discovery of a sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish will begin receiving financial assistance beginning Friday, August 17.
Texas Brine Company, LLC, of Houston, has chosen Worley Catastrophe Response to coordinate and manage a housing assistance fund for residents living around the Bayou Corne community in the area under a mandatory evacuation order issued by Assumption Parish officials. Worley will operate out of the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office substation in Pierre Part. A Worley employee will be on site once a week, or as needed, beginning Friday.
Beginning August, 17, the fund will be used to provide weekly housing assistance to those who live in the affected area. A check in the amount of $875 per week will be issued to a representative of each household in the affected area who submits a Louisiana driver's license or other reasonably acceptable photo identification confirming residence in the evacuation zone. Those residences are listed in documentation provided by parish officials.
Assistance checks will issued by a Worley representative at the sheriff's substation on a weekly basis. Texas Brine has instructed Worley to consult with representatives of any household whose residents believe that special circumstances might warrant additional assistance. Each of those requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Local, state and federal officials studying the sinkhole have not yet determined fault in the incident. Texas Brine has operations adjacent to the sinkhole, south of La. 70 South in Assumption Parish. The company is working closely with government officials to help determine the cause of the sinkhole.
Because of its proximity to the sinkhole, Texas Brine has taken the lead in providing aid to residents in the community neighboring their facility and hired Worley to administer the program, known as the Bayou Corne Incident Evacuee Fund.
About Texas Brine Company, LLC:
Texas Brine Company, LLC, is the largest independent brine producer in the United States, supplying over 30 percent of the brine requirements of the chlor-alkali industry. More information is available at http://www.texasbrine.com.
