But you are right, this isn't about man-made global warming...it's about climate change...man made or not...I think I made my position pretty clear.

WASHINGTON — The embattled top watchdog of U.S. contracting in Afghanistan announced Monday that he's resigning days after vowing to resist congressional demands to step down.
Arnold Fields, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, offered no explanation for his decision to leave. His resignation becomes official at the beginning of next month.
"I depart confident in the knowledge that SIGAR is positioned to provide essential support to the president's strategy," he said.
Fields' resignation leaves vacant a key post in the Obama administration's push for bringing greater accountability to U.S. contracting in Afghanistan.
McClatchy reported in November that over the past three years, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers construction projects in Afghanistan have failed, face serious delays or resulted in subpar work, costing American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and hobbling U.S. efforts to stabilize the country.
Four senators accused Fields' office of doing a poor job of scrutinizing how $56 billion in reconstruction money is being spent in the war-torn nation. The senators demanded Fields' resignation in a letter to President Barack Obama late last year.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., chairs a Senate contracting oversight subcommittee that has looked into the contracting issues in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"With billions of dollars being spent in Afghanistan, our country must have top notch leadership at the agency responsible for rooting out the waste and fraud that can jeopardize our efforts," she said, adding of Fields, "I hope that his departure will allow the agency to turn over a new leaf."
Last week, Fields fired two of his deputies partly in response to the congressional criticism. However, Fields, a retired Marine Corps major general, told McClatchy, he had no plans to resign saying: "The Marine Corps taught me not to quit."
But a report by the federal Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency had fueled the calls for his resignation. The council recommended that the Justice Department consider revoking the special inspector general's law enforcement authority and concluded his office had problems with hiring, strategic planning and investigative policies.
The White House, however, praised Fields in a statement about his resignation.
"Under General Fields' tenure, SIGAR produced numerous critical reports that have improved reconstruction efforts, and helped insure that U.S.-funded programs are achieving their objectives," the White House said in a statement.

The 2017 Shelby Baja 700, is an off-road pickup whose performance can only be compared to the all-terrain, Lamborghini LM002 made more than thirty years ago. On it's launch, the world will be shown the most powerful vehicle it has never seen. Remember, Shelby, the manufacturing company, has spent the last five decades designing and building some of the most powerful and breathtaking vehicles the world is yet to see. Shelby isn't giving out any chance and is burning the midnight oil to perfect what it's good at – designing and building top most models. So obey your instincts and trust them on this one too.
2017 Shelby Baja 700 – Exterior and Interior Features
The 2017 Shelby Baja 700 is just an ordinary truck, but one of its most visible and unique features is the front bumper that has been substituted with a fancy pipe frame, making it look totally menacing. The newly designed frame has LED light bars that make it look more sturdy and aggressively than those of its predecessors. On its front area, there's a mesh guards that protects the LED light shells and thus enhance the vehicle's menacing look. The front light LED enhances visibility because the newly fitted Led lights are much superior and visible as compared to the traditional halogen lamps. At the Baja's rear, the factory bumper will be replaced with the custom made steel unit that comes with exciting LED light pods and stainless steel rivets. On its lower area, the 2017 Shelby Baja 700 is designed to have a twin chrome exhausting tips making the Baja even more elegant. The Baja truck will be on top of an 18 inch aluminum wheels and well wrapped with K02 to ensure that she withstand all terrain. Its tire takes a sporty look and is tough enough to enable the Baja to navigate tough terrains with little struggle. The vehicle has been built by light and tough materials to reduce its general weight. Reduced body weight translated to engine using less power to propel the vehicle and thus economizing on fuel. Additionally, the Baja's chassis has an entirely new design and look to ensure its reduced total weight.
The 2017 Shelby Baja 700 interior will have high-quality leather seats with blue and black colors, making the truck's interior look elegant and neat. The seats have embraced modern technological advancement in that they can be adjusted to various sizes for the occupant to fit comfortably. The Baja's dashboard is fitted with the 'in-dash Sync infotainment panel' that works with latest connecting options like the USB ports and smart phone integration. There's also a modern HVAC system that regulates or moderates the internal temperatures. The Baja's safety hasn't been forgotten as it's fitted with state of the art auto airbags and safety belts.
2017 Shelby Baja 700 – Engine and Performance
The 2017 Shelby Baja 700 strongest pillar is fuel economy. The engineers have taken a lot into consideration to ensure that Shelby doesn't depart from its old cherished tradition. The Baja is propelled by 6.2 l V8 engine unit that's capable of generating an output of 700 Horsepower and an impressive torque of 584 lb-ft. The engine is connected to a 6 speed auto transmission and will be available in either all-wheel drive or 2 wheel drive system. The Baja's engine has a top speed of 135 mph and is able to hit this in less than four seconds. The Shelby Baja 700 2017 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 miles an hour.
2017 Shelby Baja 700 – Price and Release Date
The 2017 Shelby Baja 700 will be released in the third quarter of 2016 with a price tag of about $ 40, 000.

O God,
our President, his Cabinet, and his staff,
our Senators, our Congresspersons, and their staffs,
the leaders of other nations, be they friend or foe,
and everyone else who has the awesome and awful
responsibility of making decisions that impact
thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people.
Thank you for those leaders who seek your wisdom.
Give them humility that will keep them from assuming
that you guide them to and bless every decision that they make.
Guard them from arrogance that leads them to believe that
because they seek your wisdom they are always right.
Give them insight into and commitment to the kind of righteousness
that is characterized by a humble walk with you
and by the kind of justice
that seeks equity and fairness,
that does not favor those who have the most and can spend the most,
and that cares about the needs of those who are
the most vulnerable,
the least powerful,
and the most voiceless among us.
As for those leaders who do not seek your wisdom, give it to them anyway.
Like you did with Cyrus of old, use them, even despite themselves, to further your purposes.

(Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Lionsgate Films, 1991)
If you randomly ask someone, "Are you afraid of artificial intelligence?" you may well get a response like "Well, um…" followed by some mumbling, with an undertone of dread.
A few weeks ago, we posted "Artificial Intelligence: Boom or Doom?" about the May 4th panel debate in London, where concerns about A.I. were taken up by a panel of experts, composed of:
- Roger Trapp, Moderator, formerly of the Financial Times and the Independent on Sunday.
- Mark Bishop, Professor of Cognitive Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London
- Dan O'Hara, Senior Lecturer in English, New College of the Humanities
- Steve Mason, VP of Channels at ClickSoftware
- George Zarkadakis, Novelist, Science Writer, and Digital Transformation Consultant
The discussion was wide-ranging and, among other things, took up the subject of fear of A.I. They say if you can face your fears, you can defeat them. But of course you have to first be able to identify them. So what are our fears of A.I.? Are they backed by reason or are they just neuroses? Which fears are shared by all or most of us, as opposed to just my or your personal phobias?
Way up there on the fears list is the prospect of losing our livelihood to a pile of silicon, microchips, and a bit of titanium who can think quicker than us, work faster than us, and even look better than us. Next thing you know … it's the boot!
At the end of our last post on the London A.I. Panel Debate, we included a questionnaire asking about readers' fears as to whether they thought they were going to be made redundant by A.I. The results?
- 61% of respondents believe that a machine cannot replace them as a worker.
- 8% of respondents believe that a machine could surpass them as a worker.
- 31% of respondents would rather not think about it
If we group together those who admit to the fear outright with those who can't face even thinking about it, that's well over a third of the respondents with concerns of being replaced by a machine on the job. That's a lot! And it begs the question: Are these concerns well-founded? According to the panelists at the London debate, it's not so simple. Let's take a look at their comments and see what light they shed on this.
Firstly, George Zarkadakis pointed out that we must first consider the parameters of the realm of "jobs" itself as A.I. plays a bigger and bigger role.
Moderator Roger Trapp asked Mark Bishop and Dan O'Hara if their views differed as academics. Both agreed that the field of education is no exception in its vulnerability to A.I. replacing people's jobs, as well as how the jobs are done.
But not so fast! While as Dan O'Hara concurred that the traditional classroom style of education may well diminish, for those working in the field of education, he believes it may be less vulnerable than other areas, because the type of retraining needed will require people capable of a higher education.
Steven Mason had a different perspective altogether. He sees A.I. as not necessarily taking jobs away, but actually saving and even creating them by levelling the playing field, both locally and domestically.
As for ourselves, at ClickSoftware, we believe that it's not Artificial Intelligence itself at issue, but what you do with it. According to our research, as presented in Artificial Intelligence: Working Hard So We Can Hardly Work, 87% of iPhone users use its virtual assistant, Siri, on a monthly basis. Yet, Siri still isn't integrated into daily life. That's why we took things a step further with our "Butler" assistants – integrating them throughout the entire field tech's work day. Butler Services are context-aware, live alert apps – that remind, prompt, act, and perform particular functions to help the field technician have a smoother and more productive day.
My personal favorite is the "Customer is Angry" Butler Service App". Who wouldn't want a heads-up that the customer who's about to door on you is #*@# furious? ClickButler alerts the technician before he gets to the site – in time to take a few deep breaths, put on a helmet, buy flowers … whatever it takes to help that unhappy customer calm down. That is, IF you know ahead.
Hey, which field technician wouldn't want to be reminded to take the tools from the van before they climb up to the 10th floor?
Here is a typical scenario in the workday of a field technician using our Butler Apps:
Upon starting the day, Frank the field technician, logs in for the day… [and] ClickButler simply states: "Your first job is at Ivy bank at 1 Main Street. Would you like navigation instructions?" Upon touching: "Yes", the turn-by-turn travel instructions start automatically. Next, ten minutes before arriving at Ivy bank, ClickButler prompts: "Your contact people at Ivy bank are (A), (B), and (C). Touch the one you wish to call". Touching (C) will automatically connect to the Contact List app to get the telephone number of (C), and then will activate the Phone app, by dialing Mr. (C) who will greet Frank at the reception desk.
("The Story of an English Lord and His Butler" Prof. Moshe BenBassat)
Safe to say that most people would gladly accept a tool that makes their work easier and more rewarding. Certainly your customers will be happy to have the technician arrive on time, with the right tools and get the job done the first time around. There's no fear here of losing a job – only making it easier and making you more efficient.
To come full circle, our assessment is: Sure, there's going to human jobs that are taken over by machinery. But that's really nothing new since the invention of the wheel, is it? – not to mention the spinning wheel, the cotton gin, the tractor… Does the fact that A.I. entails machinery that's a lot more intelligent make a significant difference? In some cases, perhaps. In others, it's a matter of how it's put to use – namely as artificial assistance. Just imagine if Arnold had had a Butler. He'd have had that motorcycle in a flash, and without all the chit-chat.
I know what you're thinking: This is going to wrap up with some cheezy line like "Hasta La Vista, Baby". I wouldn't waste your time.
You're terminated.

Let me give you a little clue:
Hallelujah, hare krishna, yeah yeah yeah!
George Harrison!")
Well, your railroad gate, you know I just cant jump it
Sometimes it gets so hard, you see
Im just sitting here beating on my trumpet
With all these promises you left for me
But where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, I waited for you when I was half sick
Yes, I waited for you when you hated me
Well, I waited for you inside of the frozen traffic
When you knew I had some other place to be
Now, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
Well, six white horses that you did promise
Were finlly delivered down to the penitentiary
But to live outside the law, you must be honest
I know you always say that you agree
Well, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Well, I dont know how it happened
But the river-boat captain, he knows my fate
Evrybody else, even yourself
Just gonna have to wait.
Well, I got the fever down in my pockets
The persian drunkard follows me
And I can take him to your house but I cannot unlock it
You see, you forgot to leave me with the key
Yeah, where are you tonight, sweet marie?
Yeah, where are you tonight, sweet marie?

No. 3 Emory starts off weekend with 7-2 win against ninth-ranked Middlebury
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. -- No. 3 Emory opened its weekend on a strong note, defeating ninth-ranked Middlebury 7-2 on Friday afternoon.
Emory moved to 9-3 this season after the win, coming in the first of three matches against top-10 ranked opponents on the road this weekend. Middlebury dropped to 7-3 for the season with the loss.
Emory jumped out to an early lead in the match, sweeping the three doubles matches. At No. 1 doubles, the Eagles' duo of junior Gabrielle Clark and freshman Annette Sullivan defeated Brittney Faber and Leah Kepping 8-5. Emory's other two pairings each followed with 8-4 victories, with senior Jordan Wylie and freshman Madison Gordon besting Lok-Sze Leung and Ria Gerger in the second doubles match and freshman Emma Taylor and junior Brenna Kelly earning a third singles win against Lauren Amos and Margot Marchese.
Meanwhile, it was the backend of the Eagles' singles lineup that secured the victory for Emory. Freshman Beatrice Rosen defeated Marchese at No. 3 singles 6-4, 6-1, while Wylie followed with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Dorrie Paradies at fourth singles. At fifth singles, Gordon earned a 6-2, 6-0 win against Katie Paradies and Kelly rounded out the win with a 6-4, 6-1 win against Lauren Amos at sixth singles.
Emory's two losses of the match came at first singles, where Clark suffered a rare defeat, falling 6-3, 6-1 to Leung, and at second singles, where freshman Marissa Levine dropped a 6-3, 6-1 decision to Gerger.

Smoke signal
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | Sep 29, 2003
This weekend, in an interview with Tim Russert of MSNBC, Republican commentator Tucker Carlson said that President Bush is "functionally pro-choice," since he "doesn't really care" about the abortion issue.
That comment came from a Bush supporter, with plenty of friends in the executive branch.
If Bush really is committed to the pro-life cause, the White House should be issuing a public correction, and a chastisement to Carlson, very soon.
We're waiting...

It's a matter of prudence to take on an significant pundit who I'll accuse of saying this to attract attention. When it comes time to sign the partial birth abortion ban then there will be the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the pro-aborts.

On August 3rd 2000 in his acceptance speech in Piladelphia he had the courage to state, "I AM PRO-LIFE AND I WILL SIGN INTO LAW THE BANNING OF PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION". Look what he has done with his support of his courage. I contend that Bush's opponents led by Kennedy, Leahy, Biden and Durbin have tried to bury him since because of his courage to support his PRO-LIFE position. Tim Russert the Cuomo Catholic should be forced to take Carlson to task. Pray for Barbara and Laura to see the light

Bush would not irritate any voter base. Look how he has played up to the gays and look where they want to lead the country. The naming of Estrada and the Attorney General of Alabama would indicate he is favorable toward pro-life judges. But even if he doesn't get A+, imagine what Gore would have done? Perhaps the abortion crowd is trying to trick us, but would they hate Bush so much if he weren't at least leaning pro-life?

OK, Jake; that's fair. Let's look at the record. It's easy to make a public statement; what really matters is how you act once you're in office. Agreed. So, based on the actual track record of the Bush Administration-- actions taken, I mean, not just public postures-- can you find compelling evidence that Carlson is wrong?

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. As if the President doesn't have anything better to do than respond to then self styled "Republican Analysts" on the talk shows! Sometimes I believe these guys say these things just to get noticed. "Did you see how the White House responded to MY comments the other day?" Judge the President on his record, not on a talking head's characterization of what the President really thinks.

Someone who is a "Republican" commentator doesn't have that much credence by itself. One wishes that all Republican had strong values. I am afraid that many are simply opportunists and closet Democrats. Consider our US Repblican Representative from Northeastern Illinois, Mark Steven Kirk, who has a horrendous pro-life record, not much better than his Democratic colleague, the ever-social-democrat, Jan Schakowsky. I hope that we do hear from the White House.

With all of the hustle and bustle that is life. With the constant chasing, cleaning and collapsing into bed that is parenthood. With everything that adulthood brings, we too often forget that we ourselves are someone's child.
As I am learning with my now 20 month old, the push for independence begins early. It's almost as if once we are cut from the womb, the rest of our lives are spent pushing against our parents to live independently. That is until the scary monsters of our dreams come out or we fall and scratch our knee. Then we go running back to the safety of their arms. To the familiarity that is the warmth of their love. And this, as I have found, is no matter what age we are.
Yes – I am a daughter. I am a child of two parents who loved me. Who did the best they could for me with the tools they had. Who I fought against so many times to be independent. And who I always ran home to when things got scary.
But in 1997, the known arms of my parents changed. They changed in a way I was not prepared for and I had never had exposure to. That year my dad revealed he was transgender. At the time, I didn't even know what that meant. Transsexual, gay…those where the only familiar words in my vocabulary. And when it was all revealed and understood, I rebelled. I was angry. I was hurt. I didn't understand. I thought I was being punished for something. I felt like my dad had been taken away from me.
For years I was angry. Even though I was raised in a house where I was taught to accept and respect all people as long as they caused no harm to society, I felt I couldn't put those morals into place in this situation. This was personal, and my world was completely turned upside down. Despite years of wanting to go my own way, be independent from my parents, I found myself longing for the familiarity of the home they had built together. For the sanctuary they had created for me. For my parents as they were.
Fortunately, I met my now husband who had exposure to a trans friend, and who helped me understand more fully what it was all about. Over years of research, of gaining medical understanding, and of spending time with my father, I finally began to ACCEPT.
I write all of this because education truly is freeing. Transgender is not a choice. It is who the person is. Who they have always been. The way they were born. But because of the lack of acceptance in society for those things which we do not understand; because of interpretations that need a second glance, transgender individuals are not accepted. And it breaks my heart.
As the daughter of a transgender parent, I now want to protect and fight for my father. Just as he fought and protected me as a child. While the safe haven of my father's arms are not the same, and while deep inside the struggle over the loss of the person I knew growing up never goes away, I am learning to accept the person that my father is today. It was not a choice, it was determined while in the womb.
Unfortunately for my father and for so many other trans individuals, the world is not a welcoming place. And that makes me desperately sad. I was raised with faith, but a faith that taught me to love and to accept and to give everyone a chance at happiness.
And that is why I fight! I fight for equality! I fight for happiness! I fight for love!
I am asking my community to take a moment and to read. To get some scientific facts before you make a judgment. I respect everyone's rights to opinions, but until you can knowingly do so with the facts, until you walk a day in my shoes, until you understand the hurt you are causing to another human being – you are making a judgment based on the unknown.
I carry so many titles in this world that I am proud of. And daughter is just one of them. But it is where it all began for me, the first title I held. And the one I promise not to forget no matter how old I am.
I am the daughter of a transgender parent. And I am proud of the courage of the trans community!

The New Natives is an emerging New York City-based theatre company which focuses on producing work by up and coming artists. Formed by Charly Clive and Jillian Geurts in 2015, The New Natives believes in making theatre for the people… contemporary, thought-provoking work that's funny, sad and everything in between. In 2016, the company produced "What's your Fracking Problem", a ongoing showcase of scenes and monologues by up-and-coming writers at the amazing Kinfolk Store in Brooklyn. In August, Charly will take her newest work "Britney" to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, reminding The United Kingdom what they are missing and what exactly a brain tumour means for a young woman with her whole life ahead of her. And of course, September marks the premiere of Wil Hart's brilliant, experimental play "The First Man" at the Under St Marks Theatre in New York City. More information about the company, our collaborators and our upcoming shows can be found at thenewnatives.net
We at The New Natives believe no story is too large or too small and our mission is to create a platform for writers, directors, actors, designers who want to tell those stories. We want to bring theatre back to the people, by making affordable and accessible theatre for audiences from all corners of society. We aim to have no target demographic. We strive for artistic excellence and professionalism whether we are presenting work in its earliest foetal stages, or mounting full-scale productions. We aim to create an exchange between artist, audience and community, finding ways to give back and break down the wall between "the art" and the people watching it.
JILLIAN GEURTS, co-founder
Jillian began her career as a physical theatre performer with acclaimed Australian company Zen Zen Zo. She toured internationally with their original Butoh-inspired work "Zeitgeist" and performed in multiple-award winning productions with them including The Tempest and Cabaret. Since finishing her conservatory training in 2015, Jillian has worked across the board in theatre, film and television in the United States. She can be seen in two episodic's this Summer, including the season finale of Mind of a Murderer (Discovery ID Channel). Recent theatre credits include Juliet in Romeo + Juliet, A Tale for Winter and the world-premiere of Robin Hood: The Musical, written and directed by Tony-nominee Douglas Carter Beane (Scranton Shakespeare Festival). Also, Irina in Three Sisters (Columbia Stages) and Merope in Wrecks (Underling Productions). www.jilliangeurts.com
CHARLY CLIVE, co-founder, writer
Charly's first rehearsed reading was put on at The St. Helen's Studio Theatre in Abingdon, Oxford (UK), a reading of the multifaceted drama Blue on Blue a play centered around and arms dealer in London and a female fighter pilot in Kajaki, Afghanistan. Following the performance of Blue on Blue Charly became affiliated with Cassarotto Ramsey Literary agency in London and as such was approached by the BBC to write a short radio play, Many Hundred Miles was submitted and shortlisted for broadcast.
Charly then moved to New York where she attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts where she originated the role of Marian in Douglas Carter-Beane's new musical Hood. Charly also worked closely with Douglas Carter-Beane as his Associate Playwright for his play Shows For Days starring Patti LuPone and Michael Uri at the Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theatre.
Charly made her New York writing debut with On Prosperity, a play centered around a small town in the wake of a school shooting, the play premiered at The Mary McArthur Theatre.
Charly's latest project was writing for the sketch show 'What's You're Fracking Problem?' and will be taking her show 'BRITNEY' to the assembly stage this year at The Edinburgh Festival.

Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary Will Offer 13 Visitors an Extraordinary 'ALONE' Experience
Oct 18, 2010, 01:32 ET
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Terror Behind the Walls at Eastern State Penitentiary, presented by Lukoil, America's largest haunted attraction, located at 22nd Street and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, will offer 13 visitors an extraordinary experience: tour this massive haunted house, in a real prison, completely, totally, ALONE.
The 13 visitors will be selected at random from names submitted on the event website. One visitor will be selected for each of the final 13 nights of the haunted attraction, from October 20 to November 6. Each visitor will enter Terror Behind the Walls completely alone. (Those too terrified to make the trip alone may bring a single guest.) Each winner will also receive $50.00 in LUKOIL Gas Certificates.
These 13 visitors will then be entered into a second drawing. That winner will return with 5 friends to Eastern State Penitentiary to spend a full night in the cellblocks. The group will be given a final gourmet dinner inside the prison, be joined by a professional storyteller at midnight to hear ghost stories related the Penitentiary's history, and will camp in the abandoned cellblocks alone until breakfast.
Members of the public can enter the drawing on the event's website Preview page (www.easternstate.org/alone). There is no purchase necessary. Each winner will be selected at 2:00 p.m. on the day before their evening in the haunted attraction.

Abstract art is often ridiculed by the uninitiated observer—"I could have painted that" are words you often hear whispered in galleries.
This statement contains a hidden argument: This painting could have been created by me because it requires little technique. I am not an artist; therefore it cannot be considered art.
Summer Collection by Jan Nelson is a case in point. The straight horizontal lines are indeed something that anyone with a basic ability to hold a paintbrush ostensibly could recreate. But is this a valid argument against the status of this painting as a work of art?
Abstract Art
Traditional concepts of visual art are focused on skill, with the highest level of skill perceived to be the faithful representation of what we perceive to be our external reality. The history of art seems to follow an evolutionary trajectory from the early beginnings in caves to the photo-realistic oil paintings of the seventeenth century. For the casual observer, this evolutionary process is reversed in the early twentieth century when abstract art makes its entry. The strip of images shown below shows this evolution, starting with a naturalistic painting of a tree.
Dutch artist Piet Mondriaan started his career by painting impressionistic works, such as The Red Tree from 1908, seen second from the left. Mondriaan later became inspired by the cubist movement and painted The Gray Tree in 1911. He experimented further with abstracting the idea of a tree and produced Flowering Apple Tree. Later in his career he became mainly known for his compositions with strict geometrical patterns and primary colours iconic for the De Stijl movement.
Contemporary art is no longer restricted to a copy reality, but a way to interpret reality through the observation and technique of the artist. Originality and visual impact are now more important than mere skill of faithfully reproducing what is seen.
Next time when you hear somebody say that they could have painted this, simply ask: "Why didn't you?".

August 22, 2013 06:30 ET
KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 22, 2013) - FISSION URANIUM CORP. (TSX VENTURE:FCU)(OTCQX:FCUUF)(FRANKFURT:2FU) ("Fission" or "the Company") the Operator, and its Joint Venture partner Alpha Minerals Inc. are pleased to announce results for an additional five holes drilled on the R390E Zone. With a new strike length of 120m, zone R390E has doubled in length since the winter 2013 program. PLS13-086 is of particular note. With a 47.0m wide mineralized zone, including a total of 5.27m composite "off-scale", it appears more robust than hole PLS13-061 drilled 10m to the north on line 360E and is further evidence of the high-grade potential of the zone.
Several holes are reported in this news release that have no Devonian Sandstone intersections. This makes the R390E Zone a potential candidate area for one of the bedrock sources of the large uranium boulder field. Of additional note is hole PLS13-083, a 15m step out hole to the west of hole PLS13-075, which reported 61.5m total composite mineralization in several intervals over a width of 105.5m (53.0m to 158.5m).
Holes PLS13-078, PLS13-081, PLS13-083, PLS13-085 and PLS13-086 tested lines 435E, 405E, 315E, 330E and 360E of the R390E Zone respectively and all intersected relatively wide zones of mineralization of varying degrees of radioactivity.
Drilling Highlights include:
Ross McElroy, President, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,
"The R390E Zone continues to expand and still remains open in all directions. This latest round of results includes wide intervals of considerable radioactivity, significant off-scale, and helps direct us as we grow the zone further."
R390E Zone:
The new holes represent shallow, very broad intervals of radioactivity and, importantly, extends the R390E Zone an additional 15m west from previous delineation. The relevant geological features of the hole are as follows:
Line 315E: Drillhole PLS13-083 was collared as a vertical hole. The collar is located approximately 15m grid west from hole PLS13-075 (see news release July 29, 2013). Weakly anomalous radioactivity starts immediately in the basement rocks at 53.0m increasing in intensity below 55.0m. Several variably weak to moderate to strong radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from 0.5m to 17.5m wide were intersected over a 105.5m span from 53.0m to 158.5m. Occasional narrow intervals of off-scale radioactivity were intersected raging in widths from 0.1m to 0.35m wide each. Overburden continued to 53.0m and no Devonian sandstone was observed. From 53.0m to 178.1m, bedrock consists of alternating pelitic and quartz-feldspar gneiss. A diabase dyke is present from 178.1m to 186.0m and semipelitic gneiss from 186.0m to the end of hole (278.0m). Moderate clay alteration is present from 53.0m to 192.0m. Downhole triple gamma probe results show that a 1.0m wide interval (80.0m - 81.0m) of strongly anomalous gamma counts (16,981 cps - 52,841 cps) was intersected downhole but corresponding hand scintillometer results from this interval are weak at 330cps - 760 cps. This discrepancy is explained due to poor recovery (48.7% recovery) in this moderately clay altered interval from 80.0m - 83.0m.
Line 330E: Drillhole PLS13-085 was collared as a vertical hole. The collar is located approximately 10m grid north of PLS13-075. Several variably radioactive mineralized intervals ranging in width from 2.5m to 22.5m wide were intersected over a 55.5m span from 58.5m to 114.0m. The main zone of mineralization occurs over a 22.5m wide interval (82.0m - 104.5m) and is characterized by variably weak to strong radioactivity including a total composite of 2.16m of off-scale (>9999 cps) radioactivity. Bedrock was encountered at 57.0m and comprised of a pelitic gneiss from 57.0m to 140.0m transitioning to a dominantly semipelitic gneiss from 140.0m to end of hole (224.0m).
Line 360E: Drillhole PLS13-086 was collared as a vertical hole. The collar is located approximately 10m grid south of PLS13-061 (23.5m @ 1.39% U3O8, see News Release June 03, 2013). A 47.0m wide mineralized interval of variably weak to strong radioactivity was intersected (75.0m - 122.0m). A total composite of 5.27m of off-scale (>9999 cps) radioactivity was intersected in several intervals from 0.14m to 3.0m wide. Bedrock was encountered at 50.0m and is comprised of a quartzitic gneiss to 74.5m and alternating pelitic gneiss and undifferentiated mylonites to 207.7m. From 2207.7m to 263.0m (EOH) a semipelitic gneiss was encountered. Moderate to strong clay alteration is present from 50.0m to 208.7m with localized occurrences of sulphide (pyrite?).
Line 405E: Drillhole PLS13-081 was collared as a vertical hole. The collar is located approximately 10m grid north of PLS13-064 (10.5m @ 0.43% U3O8, see news release June 03, 2013). A 25.5m wide mineralized interval (105.0m to 130.5m) of variably weak to moderate radioactivity was intersected. The hole deviated to the south with the net result being the mineralized zone is within a few meters of the same zone intersected in PLS13-064. A thin layer of Devonian sandstone was intersected from 49.5m to 51.5m. Basement rocks consist primarily of a semipelitic gneiss throughout. A 5.0m wide Diabase dyke was intersected from 58.4m to 63.4m.
Line 435E: Drillhole PLS13-078 was collared as a vertical hole. The collar is located approximately 10m grid north of PLS13-073 (see news release Jul 29, 2013). A total mineralized composite of 42.5m of weak to moderate to locally strong radioactivity over two main intervals over a 50.5m span was encountered in 3 intervals (85.0m - 135.5m) ranging from 0.5m to 31.5m wide. A 31.5m interval of mineralization is characterized by weak to strong radioactivity including a total composite of 1.25m of off-scale (9999 cps) radioactivity. The mineralization on PLS13-078 appears to be up-dip by about 17m from hole PLS13-073. Devonian sandstone was intersected from 50.0m to 53.5m. Basement rocks consist of an alternating pelitic gneiss and undifferentiated mylonite sequence from 53.5m to 120.5m, transitioning to a semipelitic gneiss below 120.5m to 224.0m (EOH). Moderately pervasive clay alteration is present from 53.5m to 142.0m.
A $6.95M, 44 hole, 11,000m drill program and ground geophysics surveys continues at PLS.
Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a hand held Exploranium GR-110G total count gamma-ray scintillometer. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured, and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. The degree of radioactivity within the mineralized intervals is highly variable and associated with visible pitchblende mineralization. All intersections are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness is yet to be determined.
All holes are planned to be radiometrically surveyed using a Mount Sopris 2GHF-1000 Triple Gamma probe, which allows for more accurate measurements in high grade mineralized zones. The Triple Gamma probe is preferred in zones of high grade mineralization.
Split core samples from the mineralized section of core will be taken continuously through the mineralized intervals and submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) of Saskatoon for analysis, which includes U3O8 (wt %) and fire assay for gold. All samples sent for analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, uranium by fluorimetry and boron. Assay results will be released when received.

Why Select an Accredited Online College
Accredited online colleges provide an opportunity for individuals in the working field, with families, or have busy schedules that do not allow for full time enrollment in a traditional college or university. Enrolling in an accredited online college will allow a person the opportunity to earn a degree that may allow for advancement in their current workplace, a change in career, or the ability to begin a fresh career. Some online colleges offer all courses online with flexible meeting times and courses to match the needs of the individual. Other online colleges require some on site campus interaction (usually a two to three week time frame during) once or twice a year in addition to online courses. This arrangement provides the convenience of adapting the education to suit the lifestyle of the student.
Courses Taught
Typically accredited online colleges will offer the basic core courses that all major traditional colleges and universities offer. These are courses in the humanities, arts, sciences, etc.. The recent growth in online colleges has made it possible for students and prospective students to transfer some of the core subject courses to a traditional school. For the online schools requiring several meeting dates on a physical campus, prospective students can select colleges with a closer proximity to their home location. Many of these schools offer several onsite locations throughout the country in order to meet the needs of their student body. These on site courses typically run for students specializing in a specific subject, such as Education. For any student considering an online accredited college, all course programs are projected on the school's site for prospective students to make informed decisions regarding their education needs.
Degrees and Jobs
Most of the accredited online colleges student attend offer a variety of degrees ranging from two year Associates and Certificates to PhD. Some of the more common Bachelor and Master's degrees one could find through an online college are in the fields of education, nursing, business, legal studies, computer technologies, and public administration (to name a few). These degrees are equivalent to degrees students earn at traditional schools and universities. Some workplaces prefer students with an online degree because these students have additional technological skills acquired throughout their coursework and may have been gaining "real-world" experience simultaneously. Some online degree programs may even have the student training in the workplace while completing coursework.
