What Playtesters are Saying
Not an AAR, but last night we played (in the VASSAL hotseat) four turns (4 activations each turn and we tossed in 3 event AMs too). It was a long game, especially because we had two players who had never played and my son had only played a turn with me before. It was my fourth time playing and twice I played solo. I think I am pretty good with the rules, but I did screw up a couple times.
Anyway, I played Greece, my son Charles (Carthage), and two of his friends took on the East and Rome. I just want to relate a moment of pure evil genius which (if there is any justice in the world) will haunt me in a later game.
Back at turn 2, Greece has been expanding nicely into Asia Minor taking advantage of Carthage beating up pretty badly on the East after the East decided to expand in both directions at once. I also was fighting Rome for control of Bruttium - Rome had decided that he could fight me early on, suffered a defeat, and then built up reinforcements while I was distracted. I had actually already resigned myself to a loss when I pulled a good elite leader and was back in style. My armies were still not all that strong, but war was inevitable. I talked to Anthony (Rome) and explained to him that we both had to be wary of Carthage, so when it was Rome's turn to activate, I offered him 2T to call off our fighting and take advantage of his turn to start moving north before Carthage took all of Hispania and Gaul. Naturally he accepted and sent some minor forces north and skipped attacking me. Ok, his friendly move to the north was naturally towards Greece (he didn't trust me that much) so when it was time to pay, I told him that I would wait to see what his real motives were. After some discussion, I promised that I would pay him at the income phase.
Next AM was drawn (by Rome - our convention is to let the last guy who activated do the next draw) was an event: Revenues and Stability - Rome had only 1T in the bank, so lost stability. I wasn't exactly pleased, but I did think it was an interesting coincidence.
Now Rome drew the next AM and it was Greece. Ah, Fortuna!
I paid a talent for my activation and opted to expand, changed Xanthas & Myra from garrisons to towns (2 minor moves used to build) and declared my major move. I rolled a 2, so I had 6 MP (my leader was a 3/4). I moved him to Brundisium to pick up 1 extra HI and then back to Tarentum and to Venusia (3 MP so far) and then to battle in Capua.
Battle of Capua:
Battle points: 4 LG is 16 BP – Rome did not use the town (bad move) and the intercept from Rome failed, Rome's Leader was a 2/3. Greece: 3 HI is 9, 1 BP for Cavalry. Odds were 10:16. 1 Shift in favor of Rome. 1 Shift in favor of Greece for Cavalry superiority. One more shift for me for Tactical advantage. My roll was a "4", Rome's roll was a "2". I shifted my result up by 1, so a "5", so Rome eliminated (50%) 8 BP or 2 LG, leaving 8 BP on the field. Greece lost 20% of 9 and I chose to remove one HI (3 BP) leaving 8 BP on the field (I thought my cavalry would be useful later). Continuing, I now had 2 shifts in its favor and chose to attack (I won the battle so I didn't have to pay a MP). I rolled a "3" and Rome a "1". I shifted Rome's down by 1 (I couldn't take any losses) and raised my roll to a "4". 40% of 8 BP is 3.2 BP, so Rome has to eliminate 1 more SP of Legion. No losses for my army. Greece now had 8 BP (2*3 for HI plus 1 Cavalry) and my attack was at 2:1 – 4 shifts in my favor. (2 for 2:1, 1 for cavalry, 1 for tactical difference) - I rolled a 6 and Anthony a 4 which I shifted down by 4 and my 60% killed Rome's last legion. The good Roman 2/3 leader was also dead.
I wasn't done though. I paid one more MP to attack Capua (a town). The intercept attempt from the weak Roman legion failed (a "5" was rolled, tactics was - I think - a "1" (probably a 1/3 leader or a 1/4)) And even intercepting from the city gave only a 9 adjusted roll. You need a 12.
Anthony was desperate but the other players decided to "help" him, suggesting that since he lost a battle on home turf, he could raise militia. He did and his stability took a hit. There were 2 SP of militia in Capua though. I paid for siege expertise (using the 2T that I should have probably paid him). Now I had 8 BP (6 BP for my 2HI - cavalry doesn't count in sieges - a 2 siege expertise) versus his 4 BP (2 SP of militia and 2 SP for the town). 8:4 gave me 2 shifts and of course I have leadership tactical ability (3 shifts more). Greece's roll was a 3 and Rome's a 2. I reduced Rome's roll to nothing and raised mineto a 6. He took a point for the town and lost the 2 BP of militia so basically the idea to raise militia cost him stability and no gain. That's how I took Capua.
Oh, to make matters worse, I did pay him 2T after my income phase - not that I had money to burn (all the maintenance for Galleys prohibits that) - but I thought it was worth the joke.
It isn't easy to write AARs, Aaron, as I'm sure you know. I have been keeping lots of notes on the game, but when you are playing, it is almost impossible to keep things straight. Most of the time we prefer to roll dice instead of using Vassal. When I get into a real online game (instead of just using the machine as my board) it might be easier because of the logs.
In any case, I can probably clean up my notes and post them if you like. There have been some excellent battles. Hannibal is amazing in this game. He led Carthage out of a tough bind and even took Alexandria and when the East went after him again, he fought them back at amazingly bad odds - LEADERSHIP is all important in this game and you have to take risks when you have the best ones available and play smart and safe when you don't.
His friends also really liked the game, even though we really beat them up before squaring off. They had never played a game this deep before (to be fair, it is a very deep game, so not many have) and didn't know what to think. They basically played with their instincts - one was too cautious (Rome) and one was too crazy (the East). When we finished (3:30 or so) they were both really tired and Charles and I were wide awake.
--Michael Gouker - Consimworld - October 23, 2005
Having been thru 2 playtest games so far, I thought it would be appropriate to post my impressions of the game so far. It really has a lot going for it, aspiring to fill a niche between Diplomacy, CDGs, and civ-style games ,with a little (but not excessive) amount of historical flair thrown in. First, some highlights:
What the game is not:

I wanted to write a long-winded post about this and talk about various failures of mine, but every time I start I would let myself be distracted and stop. It's sat like that since the day referenced above. Thus, this post is in essence a microcosm of the phenomenon it describes.
The one failure I originally set out to address that I will include is that of my grand scheme to post juvenile friend descriptions about people in my Facebook friends list. I started everything, beginning with a spreadsheet listing every person from the friends list. Then I used the random number generator to pick 10 people. The first was my niece Angela, and I was instantly discouraged when I realized that while I know Angela well enough I don't know that I care to write about my grade schooler niece whose account was created for FarmVille.
Then there was the brief Facebook meme that solidified my resolve to scrap the project. You might recall those couple of days where people would ask for someone to send them a random number and then they'd post a status about them. Given the similarities, my idea was suddenly far less edgy. Without the edginess all that was left was the immaturity and pettiness of it all. So I gave up.
I'm embracing the failure, though. Next time I'll put more effort into my petty juvenile ideas before I announce them, that way I'm more likely to follow through and I can have even greater failures than the past. Who knows? Maybe one will be a success instead.

A very bad experience, a fraud – on the third time I went there.
This is owned by a Pakistani guy I believe, as he is always there. Don't go there, reason follows;
First time I went to that store to buy some goat meat, the guy treated us really well. He gave pretty good stuff. Second time, he was kinda OK. Third time I went there with my family he was completely weird.
First he ignored us and did not want to talk. After a while I asked him "Do you have goat meat?" First he said "No" then again he asked, "how much do you need?" I answered him "two pounds" and he said he might have it and then went to the freezer to get the "ribs"
My wife asked him if he had better ones and then reluctantly he said, he has the "legs" but it would be $8.25 a pound while the "ribs" were around 6.49. We asked for the legs even if it was more expensive.
Later after paying, I could see on his "price board" that the price was 7.99 and not 8.25.
So I asked him
"first you tried to ignore us, and then when we asked for the meat, you said you did not have it and then reluctantly gave us the ones that did not look good. And then you overcharged us and all those things, and he started saying, "it is for my customer… blab la…" and then I told him " if it was for your other customer and if you had promised him, you should not have at all sold it to us, and then its not good that you charged 8.25 instead of 7.99.. but it was getting late and I had my little daughter with me so I did not want to waste my time arguing with him. But for those people who go there, please be aware.
This place has all kind of meat.
I believe the guy who wrote the review below is completely wrong and even if he is right the man who was working may have a lot of things on his mind or he must have been busy. Sometimes you think people are ignoring you but its not in actual that they are. Sometimes people arent having a good day so you have to accept the fact that people are nice at times and sometimes they arent very...

The Dynamics of a Therapeutic Dance/Movement Intervention for Individuals with Brain Injuries: Comparison with Physical Therapy Using Laban Movement Analysis
MetadataShow full item record
Addressing the comprehensive needs of individuals with brain injuries is a growing concern in brain injury rehabilitation as well as evaluating the efficacy of these conventional therapeutic modalities: cognitive rehabilitation, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Therapeutic dance/movement has not been an integral part of these core services. I have observed its potential, however, during the past thirteen years while providing this intervention to individuals with brain injuries.
The focus of this dissertation was to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of a therapeutic dance/movement intervention for individuals with brain injuries by comparing it to conventional physical therapy. Physical therapy, given its longevity in providing rehabilitative services to individuals with brain injuries, afforded a means by which to more systematically explore therapeutic dance/movement. Five individuals with brain injuries were observed and analyzed as they participated in five weekly therapeutic dance/movement sessions and five weekly physical therapy sessions. Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) was used as the observation and analytic tool for the purpose of elucidating similarities and differences between the two interventions in relation to the five case studies.
Two questions guided the inquiry: (a) What are the similarities and differences between a physical therapy intervention and a dance/movement intervention? and (b) What are the dynamics of a therapeutic dance/movement intervention?
Findings revealed that the physical therapy intervention focused specifically on body level connectivity and single joint action movement from a Body perspective. In comparison, the dance/movement intervention incorporated body level connectivity in addition to the dynamics of Breath/Core Support and Grounding , Effort-Life , Spatial Intent , and Aspects of Shape , providing the spectrum of Body , Effort , Space , and Shape ( BESS ) components in harmony with the Movement Themes: Whole/Part, Inner/Outer, Function/Expression, Exertion/Recuperation, and Mobility/Stability . The dance/movement intervention imparted an integrative mind-body approach to learning about one's Inner and Outer self and one's ability to cope with and connect to one's environment.Knowledge was added to the current literature at an opportune time in the brain injury rehabilitation field. Rehabilitation professionals are recognizing the need to transform current assumptions regarding the essential aspects of brain injury rehabilitation and seek additional non-medical model approaches to rehabilitation. This study offers a therapeutic modality along with a viable measurement tool that has the potential for meeting this need. Recommendations for future research are offered.

New Mexico welcomes home Corrales native Mira Jacob, whose just-published novel, Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing, sparked a bidding war among publishers.
After ten years in the writing and noticed by People and Vogue, the buzz about this first novel extends abroad and to possible film deals. Jacob founded Pete's Reading Series in Brooklyn, where literary icons and tomorrow's stars take the stage. Jacob will appear at Bookworks, in Albuquerque, on July 22 at 7pm.
It's funny, heartbreaking, gentle, brutal, and has some of the best and most honest scenes depicting sibling relationships and parent-child relationships I've ever read. Thanks, Mira. It's great. Molly Schmidt-Nowara

Problems persist, even out of Iraq
The dangers are repeatedly mentioned. Iraqis working for Western organizations here face extreme risk of being abducted and murdered. They also cope with the daily unpredictability of getting to work in a city rife with suicide bombings, roadside bombs, mortar fire, militia-run checkpoints and reprisal killings.
As I've learned more about the ordeals of our local staff members, I've at least been reassured by the fact that the decent, Western pay most earn has allowed many of them to get their families to safer places outside of Baghdad. But like most everything else here, even that small consolation is elusive.

'Surge' echoes Afghanistan mission
Surge...escalation...plus-up... Whatever you call the "new way forward," when it comes to increasing U.S. troop levels and adjusting their mission, the Bush administration's new plan for Iraq takes a number of pages from an already familiar playbook. Are you ready for this? Afghanistan.
That's right, we have come full circle. The template didn't even begin to work in "the other war" until well into 2006 -- because it was so overshadowed by events in Iraq. Now the same ideas will be tried in an attempt to salvage a situation, in Iraq, that many analysts already see as unwinnable.

One Iraqi family's hope: security
Fatin Abid Muslim stirs a lump of lamb stewing on the stove. What does she want most for herself and her family? "Aman," is her one word response, meaning "security."
It's a word you hear a lot here now. She says she can deal with the hardship, the lack of water, electricity, and the rising prices -- but she's constantly fearful about her husband and five sons.
Her husband is a driver for a Baghdad hotel, a job that puts him constantly in harm's way. Streets are often blocked by militia checkpoints, car bombs targeting police and military vehicles.
VIDEO: Will a troop surge solve the Iraq crisis? NBC's Ned Colt reports.
It's not much better for her four children who still attend school. She says she shudders every time she hears the pop of gunfire or the rumble of a bomb -- daily occurrences here.
Shalaan Abdul Zahra, her husband, dismisses more American troops as the answer. "There are already more than 130,000 American soldiers here. And bringing in more tells the terrorists you're weak."
He suggests ramping up the training of Iraqi forces, so they can assume all security needs -- and "kick out the foreign fighters." What if more Americans come? "It will cost them more in lives and money," he said.
That's just one opinion from the Iraqi Shiite street. Security may be the goal, but the means of achieving it remain agonizingly elusive.

Analyzing the effect of price change on profitability
A pub is analyzing its pricing of beer. It has determined that the price elasticity of demand for beer is −0.8, the cross-price elasticity for wine with respect to the price of beer is 0.9, the cross-price elasticity for appetizers is -1.4 and the cross-price elasticity for entrees is -2.2. The current average price of a beer at this pub is $4.50 and the pub sells 250 pints of beer a night. The price of wine averages $8 a glass and in a typical night 40 glasses of wine are purchased. An appetizer is priced at an average price of $6 and an entree costs $12 on average. The average number of appetizers and entrees sold per night is 70 and 25, respectively. The marginal cost of a pint of beer is $2, an additional glass of wine sold increases costs by $5, an appetizer increases costs by $4 and an entree has a marginal cost of $7. The pub is considering lowering the price of beer to $4.
-How do I find the Pub's profit before the price change?
-How would I get the percent change of the price of beer using the midpoint formula?
-If I used the price change of beer and the cross-price elasticities, how could I find how many glasses of wine, appetizers, and entrees the pub would sell after the price change of beer?
-how would I find the profit of the pub after the price change?

Person suffers gunshot wound, but declines to press charges
A person was shot with a firearm Wednesday in Fairfield, but so far no charges have been filed in the case because the shooting victim does not wish to press them.
The incident occurred at 10:47 p.m. at 804 W. Depot Ave. The Jefferson County Law Center received a report of a subject who was shot with a firearm.
According to a press release from the Jefferson County Attorney's Office, the subject had been taken to the Jefferson County Health Center before officers and deputies arrived on the scene. The release indicated that the victim's medical condition is unknown at this time.
Fairfield Police Chief David Thomas was not at liberty to disclose many details about the event, other than to stress there is no threat to the public the police are aware of.
Thomas said police are unsure if the victim was shot because of an accidental discharge. The police do know that the gun was being held by someone other than the victim at the time.
The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation arrived to assist in the investigation, but once the victim made it clear they did not want to press charges, DCI ceased its participation.
Thomas said police must obtain the victim's consent to charge a perpetrator with a crime such as theft or assault. An exception to this is domestic assault, which does not require the victim's consent to press charges.

FIRST LOOK: See Shin Min Ah, So Ji Sub, Henry, and more in first stills and fan photos from the set of Oh My Venus
Filming for Oh My Venus is officially underway! We now have the first stills from the series, as well as some eager fan photos that give us the first glimpse of stars Shin Min Ah, So Ji Sub, Henry Lau, and Sung Hoon. Take a look!
In Oh My Venus, Shin Min Ah plays Kang Joo Eun, a lawyer who was gorgeous in high school but gradually gains weight due to the stress of her work and family life. In the stills, we see her sporting a high school uniform, presumably for a flashback to her glory days.
Kang Joo Eun enlists the help of Kim Young Yo (So Ji Sub), a world-famous fitness trainer. Fortunately for us, So ji Sub's fans have been very eager to share candid photos of the actor!
What do you think of his new haircut? The front part isn't my favorite, but I guess we'll have to wait to see it in action.
Henry Lau, who plays So Ji Sub's friend from America, posted a selfie on Instagram on the first day of filming:
Fans also uploaded photos of Henry and Sung Hoon, who plays a physical trainer at So Ji Sub's gym:
What do you think so far? Are you excited for this talented cast? Oh My Venus premieres on November 16 exclusively on DramaFever! Sign up for new episode alerts HERE!

At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is the center of that. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear...and no one is more surprised than Russ when he finds every aspect of the life he took for granted turned upside down. In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new and baffling reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding-one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he ever imagined.

New Music: Rihanna x A$AP Rocky – "Cockiness (Love It) [Remix]"
Here's the latest remix coming off Rihanna's hit album, Talk That Talk.
Rih enlists Harlem-favorite A$AP Rocky to open the remix to her controversial banger "Cockiness (Love It)." Rocky raps, "Go koo koo for your coo coo/Your flying fish is my favorite dish," keeping in line with Rih-Rih's previous salacious lyrics. While Rihanna herself doesn't add any new verses to this, A$AP does enough to make this a well-worthy remix.

Builders apply to partially open Tim Hortons Field by Labour Day
Fate of Labour Day Classic game still in doubt
The builders of the new Tim Hortons Field have applied to partially open the stadium by Labour Day, although the Hamilton Tiger-Cats still can't say if there will be a Labour Day Classic game there.
Ontario Sports Solutions, the consortium building the $145-million stadium, applied for an occupancy permit Wednesday morning for the east side of the stadium and the lower west bowl, allowing for a Tiger-Cats game attended by 18,000 people.
But if there are problems with the inspection, builders will have to address them, which could delay the stadium's opening. The Ticats will decide the fate of the Labour Day Classic at the stadium early next week.
The Ticats aren't publicly talking about any possible contingency plans right now, president Glenn Gibson said.
"We're not discussing that right now. I'd rather wait until we know."
The 22,500-seat stadium has been plagued with delays, many attributed to a winter ice storm and problems with subcontractors. The initial opening day target was June 30.
The Labour Day Classic is key, as that's when the Tiger-Cats take on the Toronto Argos in an annual CFL tradition.
- RELATED: Stadium being ready for Labour Day will be 'a stretch': Ferguson
- RELATED: Forget Aug. 16, target is now Labour Day Classic for stadium opening
- RELATED: Stadium builder short $89M until the project is finished
It will take five days for inspectors to examine the building and determine if it's fit for occupancy, said city spokesperson Ann Lamanes.
"There are parts of the building that will not be ready," she said. "Safety and security is the top priority."
Inspectors are on site Wednesday looking at elements such as drainage, sewers, water systems and fire exits.
The Ticats have been playing at Ron Joyce Stadium at McMaster University. If the Labour Day Classic is played to 18,000, it will be a smaller crowd than usual, Gibson said.
But the team is trying to remain positive, he said. "That's the only way you can approach something like this."
"I've been to the stadium many times during the course of construction. It's a marvellous facility," he said. "I think the fans will be very impressed with the stadium."

This section contains more than 100 video clips from actual therapy sessions illustrating 22 treatments that may be used to help children with autism build skills, connect with peers and family members, and reduce challenging behaviors.

Eastern New Mexico's head coach Maguire resigns after 23 years
PORTALES, N.M. — After a highly successful tenure at Eastern New Mexico, head coach Mike Maguire has announced his resignation. Over 23 seasons with the Zias, he guided the squad to 417 victories. When Maguire returned to the bench in 2010, he snapped Eastern's 46-match losing streak in Lone Star Conference play.
Maguire's first stint as coach, which started in 1987, was highlighted by a 25-9 season in 2004, and included a 3-2 road victory at West Texas A&M. The season concluded with the Zias making their first appearance in the NCAA Division II Tournament, picking up a win against Mesa State, before eventually being eliminated by top-ranked Nebraska-Kearney. He also won the LSC regular-season title in both 1991 and 1993; along with a conference tournament championships following the 1993 season.
Over Maguire's time on the ENMU bench, the Zias posted 10 seasons of at least 20 wins and he was chosen as the Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year four times (1991, 1993, 1995 and 1999). Under Maguire's guidance, Eastern's Jennifer Goble was picked as the conference's top player four times, Tina Mayo was picked as the LSC's top freshman (1991) and the team had 41 players selected all-conference 61 times, with 14 first-team selections. He was an assistant coach at Eastern in both the 1981 and 1984 seasons, helping the Zias to a 48-28-1 record during those seasons with a NAIA District VII title after posting a 29-11 record in 1984.
Maguire guided the Zias to 16 winning seasons with an average of more than 18 wins per year since 1989. His career record of 430-355 (.548) ranked him among top active coaches in NCAA Division II. In his 23 seasons on the Zia bench, he posted a record of 417-334.
In 2004, Eastern made its first appearance in the NCAA tournament in school history and finished the season with a 25-9 overall record. The Zias posted a solid 7-3 record in Lone Star Conference South Division play and advanced to the semifinals of the LSC Tournament, as well as the semifinals of the NCAA Southwest Regional Tournament.
Maguire was named the LSC South Coach of the Year in 1999 after the Zias went 26-10 and earned a second-place finish in the LSC South. He was named LSC Coach of the Year in 1991, 1993 and 1995. The Zias won the LSC regular-season title in 1991, and won regular-season and tournament titles in 1993.

Steroids are used by 100% of bodybuilders that are skilled and I might move as much to state that 90% of the sportsmen that participate in the countrywide inexperienced stage employ anabolic steroids. Clearly, handful of these athletes are recognizing to use that is steroid, especially now intime. Anabolic steroid use hasn't been more of an anti-social habits than it is today, as well as the preconception is currently getting worse constantly. Qualified bodybuilders must be noticeable and state that they denounce the utilization of the very medicines that assisted these achieve their latest reputation or they experience significant effects. To be a professional bodybuilder to start with the purpose, is the fact that they've attained an amount of reputation that is synonymous with marketability. Through classes, appearing recommendations and shows, his hard work all spins into fiscal success. If that player hasbeen branded using the judgment of employing illegal and prohibited materials to achieve their position every one of that's in critical risk. Thus, you'll discover hypocrisy that is nauseating not only in bodybuilding but in numerous athletics. When put into the palms of ignorant individuals as they understand the massive abuse potential for these medication numerous skilled bodybuilders include sincere goals if they condemn the utilization of anabolic given in sports. I'd criticize their behavior.
Crazy Bulk steroids are known to be the best legal alternative steroids and are therefore considered to be safer than the real one. This is one of the most popular reasons why many are switching on legal steroids these days. This is also known to be as effective as real steroids and many users even claim that it is better. This starts by helping you burn excess fats first as these are hindrances to having a better body. Once the fats are eliminated, you can see that your body would immediately look leaner. These steroid alternatives also help in the gain of more muscle mass and making them stronger too. However, you have to note that this is only as effective as your lifestyle and routine. This will not give you maximum changes if no proper diet and exercise is established. One of the best things about Crazy Bulk legal steroids is that there are no side effects at all and there are no controlled substances too.

Former South Vietnam was made up of 44 provinces. The province that claimed the most
Americans killed was Quang Tri, which bordered on both North Vietnam and Laos. Fifty four
percent of the Americans killed in Vietnam were killed in the four northernmost provinces, which in
addition to Quang Tri were Thua Thien, Quang Nam and Quan Tin. All of them shared borders with
Laos. An additional six provinces accounted for another 25 % of the Americans killed in action
(KIA). Those six all shared borders with either Laos or Cambodia or had contiguous borders with
provinces that did. The remaining 34 provinces accounted for just 21% of US KIA. These numbers
should dispel the notion that Vietnam was some kind of flaming inferno or a huge cauldron of
burning dissent. The overwhelming majority of Americans killed, died in border battles against
regular NVA units.*Looking back it is now clear that the American military role in "Vietnam" was, in
essence, one of defending international borders. Contrary to popular belief, they turned in an
outstanding performance and accomplished their mission. The US Military was not "Driven" from
Vietnam. The US Congress voted them out. This same Congress then turned around and abandoned
America's former ally, South Vietnam. Should America feel shame? Yes! Why? For kowtowing to
the wishes of those craven hoards of dodgers and for bugging out and abandoning their former ally.
The idea that "There were no front lines." and "The enemy was everywhere." makes good press and
feeds the craven needs of those 16,000,000+ American draft dodgers. Add either a mother or a
father, and throw in another sympathizer in the form of a girl (or boy?) friend and your looking at
well in excess of 50,000,000 Americans with a need to rationalize away their draft-dodging
cowardice and to, in some way, vilify "Vietnam" the very source of their shame and guilt. During the
entire period of the American involvement in "Vietnam" only 2,594,000 US Military actual served
inside the country*. Contrast that number with the 50-million plus draft dodging anti-war crowd and
you have the answer to why the American view of its Vietnam experience is so skewed.
Once the draft dodging gang's numbers reached critical mass, the media and politicians started
playing to the numbers. Multi-million dollar salaries are not paid to people for reporting the news, in
any form, be it written, audio or video. Multi-million dollar salaries (e.g., Cronkite) are paid to
entertainers, stars and superstars. One does not get to be, much less continue to be, a superstar
unless one gives one's audience what it wants. Once the dodging anti-war numbers started climbing
through the stratosphere it was not in the media's interest to say something good about Vietnam to
an audience that was guilt ridden with shame and a deep psychological need to rationalize away the
true source of their guilt. American as a whole wanted to forget Vietnam, in doing so, it forgot it's
warriors....AMERICA HOW DOES IT FEEL TO SUFFER FROM PTSD?

Posted on 05 May 09
This week we are featuring ProgramBusiness.com Storefront, AmWINS Transportation Underwriters (ATU). We spoke with ATU president Joe Hutelmyer about the success of the company and the programs it provides. He has been with the company since 1981, when it was known as Seaboard Underwriters.
AmWINS Transportation Underwriters is a managing general agency and wholesale insurance brokerage specializing in the trucking/transportation industry. The company is a combination of two long-time transportation/commercial auto specialty MGAs: Burlington, North Carolina-based Seaboard Underwriters, which has provided comprehensive insurance services to short- and long-haul trucking operations since 1957 and joined AmWINS Group, Inc. in 1987; and London American General Agency of San Diego, California which was acquired in late 2007. AmWINS Group, Inc. is one of the largest wholesale brokerage operations in the country, with over $3.3 billion in premium placements and 45 offices nationwide.
ATU, in addition to its Burlington and San Diego locations, has offices in Zionsville, Indiana and Bellingham, Washington and staff of 28. The company expects to write $35 million in premium this year.
"The key to our success lies in our unbelievably talented and knowledgeable staff who, on average, have been with us more than 10 years," says Joe. "If you consider the North Carolina operation, the average would be closer to 20 years."
The company's goal, according to Joe, is to be the best transportation specialist in the industry and he defines "best" in terms of integrity, professionalism and industry knowledge. "Ongoing education and training are important, and many of our employees hold industry designations," says Joe. "The operation itself has held a CMGA Designation from the American Association of Managing General Agents since 1997."
We believe that partnering with quality insurers looking for long-term relationships, as well as understanding completely the classes that ATU underwrites, fosters success and longevity in the specialty transportation business.
The company's overall strategy has weathered more than one insurance cycle, thanks to its experienced staff. "Unlike many of our counterparts on the carrier and program management side, we understand the challenges," explains Joe. "And, although the state of the current economy is a bit different from those of the past, what has distinguished our performance is our continued ability to react to market changes quickly and take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves. We are very nimble," says Joe.
To illustrate ATU's flexibility and responsiveness to the marketplace, Joe describes how the company's average premium size has gone from $40,000 to $7,000 in just a couple of years. "When the larger fleet business became too competitive for our markets to generate the underwriting profit they needed, we changed our focus to the single-shot/owner-operator business and have grown in the process. Submissions had to be turned around in less than 24 hours versus the 5-to-30 days needed on fleet business, and the processing end needed to be significantly streamlined to handle the additional workload. Our staff was prepared and equipped to do this."
Diversification is another cornerstone of ATU's plan, not only in product offerings but also in insurance company markets. "We have the ability to completely meet our retail agents' commercial auto needs, becoming more valuable to them and eliminating problems incurred when writing a single class, such as trucking, in this economic environment. By diversifying our markets, we offer slightly different products for insureds, allowing us to continue to provide a market should one of our company's appetite change."
ATU's specialties include: Commercial Trucking, available in the Southeast, Midwest and California; Limousine, currently in 14 states with a new public auto program in 12 states being added in August; Truck Brokers Contingent Liability and Cargo on a national basis; Taxicab Liability, available in many states; and Public Auto, which is available in most states.
What distinguishes ATU in these niches is market and product knowledge and a staff ready to work with its retailers to find a way to write the business and provide the necessary coverage. "Because we are specialists, we understand the business, and we have longevity in the field," says Joe. "In some cases, new companies come in, they don't understand this highly specialized business, they write coverage cheaply, disrupt the marketplace and then stop writing the class, leaving agents and insureds without a market to place their business," says Joe. "You then have agents and customers looking for a new home."
AmWINS Transportation Underwriters' marketing programs have included all forms of advertising — from print in the national trade magazines to direct mail to e-blasts, with a focus on implementing specific target ads. "We have been very successful with ProgramBusiness in targeting specific classes and products in distinct geographic territories. Our click-through response on PB.com to ads is very good and the help provided by the staff in streamlining our ads to make them more effective has been excellent," says Joe.

A recent study about sunscreen has revealed some interesting results in regards to its anti-aging properties. According to researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia, daily use of sunscreen can slow or prevent the development of wrinkles and sagging skin.
In a first-of-a-kind research to show the effects of sunscreen on the appearance of skin, researchers wanted to find out what would happen to skin if people tried to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen all the time over four and a half years. The study involved 900 white people ages 25 to 55 in Australia, where intense sun exposure is a fact of life. Most had fair skin, and nearly all burned in the sun. Most participants were using sunscreen at least some of the time, and two-thirds wore hats in the sun. Half of the study participants were told to continue their usual practices, and the other half to slather on sunscreen daily.
The results, reported in The Annals of Internal Medicine, show that those assigned to use sunscreen every day had noticeably more resilient and smoother skin than those assigned to continue their usual practices.
The sunscreen used by study participants had a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 15, which filters 92 percent of the sun's rays. Someone who would normally burn in 10 minutes would burn in 150 minutes with an SPF 15. The sunscreen study was paid for by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, and no sunscreen makers contributed.

Outflows in high mass star-forming regions
Abstract (Summary)NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by [...]. Abstract is included in .pdf document. In the last decade, observations of star-forming regions in the millimeter wavelength range have led to the discovery of supersonic molecular outflows from embedded infrared sources, a heretofore unsuspected, but now generally accepted, phase in the star formation process. In order to better understand the outflow phenomenon in high mass (i.e., high luminosity) pre-main sequence stars, the three sources S87, LkH[...]101, and S106 were chosen for closer study. Observations from the recently completed Owens Valley Radio Observatory's millimeter wave interferometer afford us the highest spatial-resolution, molecular line (CS [...] and [...]) maps of these sources to date. The OVRO maps were combined with data from the 14 m FCRAO millimeter wave radio telescope, the VLA, IRAS, and the Palomar 5 m and 1.5 m optical telescopes. A synthesis of the data reveals that although all three pre-main sequence objects are the sources of powerful, ionized stellar winds, only one, S87/IRS1, currently drives a bipolar molecular outflow. The inferred mass loss rates in the winds of S87/IRS1, LkH[...]101, and S106 IR are 1.8 x 10[...], 1.7 x 10[...], 1.1 x 10[...] M[...] yr[...], with corresponding wind velocities of 160, 350, and 200 km s[...]. In all cases the wind velocities are lower, and the mass loss rates higher, than for main sequence stars of the same spectral types. Radiation pressure is inadequate to drive these winds, which can be anisotropic in their velocity fields. The existence of massive, large-scale (r [...]10[...] cm) disks, necessary for numerous proposed molecular outflow models, can now be ruled out. Only one of the many proposed molecular outflow models is consistent with the new observations (Konigl 1982). Although the observed winds can disperse a good portion of the cloud cores they inhabit, they cannot completely destroy these cores. Consequently, outflows from pre-main sequence stars alone cannot account for the dispersal of molecular clouds, as some investigators have suggested. Two glaring and intriguing problems remain to be solved in this field: the origin of the supersonic turbulence observed throughout a molecular cloud, and the driving mechanism of the powerful, ionized winds found in the high-mass, pre-main sequence stars.

We've already seen leaked photos of the DROID Fighter, presumably a third phone in the RAZR line after the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX. Some more evidence of a third RAZR was just uncovered in the form of EXIF data on some public pictures found on Picasa, but is it the Fighter or something else?
The EXIF data reveals a device claiming to be the DROID RAZR HD, and the fact that the Fighter was rumored to have a 720p display, this could be the same device. Of course, the EXIF data also reveals a device code name of Vanquish, which we've heard before but have no information about.
Is the Vanquish the same device as the Fighter? We don't know at this point, but why would there be two code names for the same handset? All we know is that Motorola apparently has at least one new device coming in the RAZR line. Check out a screenshot of the EXIF data after the break.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
The objective of this study was to examine the time course of cerebral hemodynamics and viscoelastic property in the brain edema, and to analyse the mechanism of mannitol effect on improving pressure-volume status in brain edema.Anesthetized cats were used for this study. Brain edema was produced in right frontal white matter by direct infusion technique (0.25ml/120min) described by Marmarou. Mannitol was administered 2g/Kg/3min intravenously following brain edema. CBF and CBV were monitored by Laser flow method. ICP, PVIcsf, PVItissue, and PVI-ratio (PVIcsf/PvItissue) were obtained.The presence of an edema generator elicits a continuous reduction of CBV and a transient reduction of CBF. With cessation of this mechanical force of edema production, CBV and CBF return to control. PVI-ratio tended to decrease after edema formation. Mannitol increased CBF, CBF, PVIcsf and PVI-ratio. The Improvement of the Intracranial Pressure volume status might be due to an increase in CBF as well as ICP reduction.Although viscoelastic property in the brain tissue was estimated by measuring PVI-ratio, the method of tissue pressure measurement used in this experiment was not enough sensitive to obtain significant values.

Julia's Style February 16, 2012
Neon Yellow & Floral
Skirt & Coat c/o Karen Kane, Blouse Tobi, Pumps & Clutch Zara
I bought a couple of these blouses from Tobi not only because they were really inexpensive, but they are so versatile and can add color to almost anything. I thought that I would bring out the gorgeous yellow in this skirt and really make it stand out. I'm drawn to anything neon yellow right now (Old Navy has some great stuff!) and I like it against my dark hair. I felt so ladylike in this outfit, which I love because I would describe myself as pretty girly. (I think I'm somewhat like Jess from New Girl)
I want to thank all of you SO much for all of the support/help you gave me on my new hair color. I cancelled my appointment to get the color stripped off after many of you told me that it would severely damage my hair. The dark is slowly growing on me and I can see that it's already slightly fading. I took some of your helpful tips and went and got some of the products you guys recommended!

Oceanium's activities also aim at animals in danger of decline, such as :
A number of movies have been produced to raise awareness among community fishermen, villages and the public at large. Thanks to a documentary by Nurkatou Yëtë ("Les pêcheurs de Cymbium", 1998) and the lobbying of Senegalese authorities, Oceanium succeeded in making it illegal to fish for cymbium (sea snail) during its reproduction period. Through other activities of this sort, Oceanium has shed light on endangered species and bad fishing practices. In regard to manatee protection, Oceanium has conducted numerous awareness-raising campaigns in villages around the Senegal and Casamance rivers and towards the authorities. In order to indict the cruel fishing practice of sharks just for their fins, Oceanium produced two films ("Ba Kagne?" and "Chronique d'une mort annoncée") in 2003.
Rescuing sea cows, dolphins, turtles
With the support of villagers, our team has organised numerous rescue actions for dolphins and manatees, species ranked on the red list of IUCN.
The first rescue operation of manatees took place in 2006; many more followed in the region of Matam, near the Senegal river. Usually, manatees get trapped by shallow water in certain river branches or by barriers holding back the water. In order to avoid the accidental stranding of manatees in shallow area, Oceanium set up a network of sentinels who monitor the displacement of manatee families. In fact, manatees are almost extinct in the North of Senegal. One of the last remaining families lives in the Casamance.
As one example of activities regarding dolphins, Oceanium intervened in the Casamance for a rescue operation. Trapped by low tides, the dolphins were grounded on a mangrove beach. Yet again, thanks to the mobilisation in the villages our teams could take them back to the water.

Every year, the United States Army Corps of Engineers dredges sand from the Mississippi River. Removing that sand maintains a nine foot deep channel to accommodate boat and barge traffic; however, they are running out of space to store the sand.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers estimates dredging nearly 11-million cubic yards of sand in the next 40 years. They say acquiring land from five family-owned farms along the Mississippi River will open up the space they need to store that sand.
"On May 9, it was a Friday afternoon, we got a booklet in the mail that was FedExed," said Jason Weisenbeck, co-owner of Weisenbeck Bros. and Burnside Dairy. "I at first ignored it when I got to the office."
Four other family farms in the area got the same package, containing a Dredged Material Management Plan from the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
"I opened it up, and my jaw just hit the floor," Weisenbeck said. "I couldn't believe it when I started reading. I just didn't understand it really fully."
Weisenbeck and other farmers were pre-selected to lose farmland for the development of permanent sand storage.
"When we bought this in 2012, we bought it to have it forever," Weisenbeck said. "We never had any intentions of ever selling it. We put a lot of improvements into this 80 acres out here, because we take pride in what we do."
Drysdale Farms, a fourth-generation farm, would lose 298 acres of land--the most out of any landowner in this plan.
"We need it to survive," said Willard Drysdale, co-owner of Drysdale Farms. "We need it to exist. We need it to provide for our livelihood."
The United States Army Corps of Engineers chose the land for specific reasons.
"These parcels are the places we can go with the material that will cost the federal government the least and will comply to the environmental regulations we have to comply with," said Craig Evans with the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
The federal agency is open to alternative suggestions.
"Any suggestions that help us find a plan that's better than what we proposed, would give us a lower cost to the federal government, we're listening," Evans said.
The plan is in review stages. If finalized, the United States Army Corps of Engineers could acquire the land through eminent domain.
"Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use as long as they provide just compensation," said Cheryl Gill, shareholder with Johns, Flaherty & Collins.
Senators Al Franken (D) and Tammy Baldwin (D) urge the United States Army Corps of Engineers to find an alternative to invoking the constitutional privilege. They released a joint statement stating, "These farms have been family-owned for generations, and we urge you to consider the impact eminent domain will have on their livelihood and the economies of surrounding communities." Read the entire letter below.
As the plan continues to progress, those involved believe it is not just about a handful of farmers. The impact of this decision could have a wide reach.
"We realize that the nine foot channel has to be there," Drysdale said. "And, we understand that it has to be maintained. To develop one resource, which would be keeping the river under navigation, and then taking that material and bringing it out here is destroying another valuable resource."
The United States Army Corps of Engineers held the second of two public meetings discussing the plan last night.
Evans said they have heard alternatives from barging the sand to another location to using other unproductive land for the storage. Though they appreciate the suggestions, Evans said a number have been ruled out because of high costs.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers will continue to accept written suggestions through midnight of Friday, June 23. You can mail those comments to : Department of Army, St. Paul District, Corps of Engineers, 180 Fifth Street East, Suite 700, St. Paul, MN 55101-1678.
