Australia 53 (0.15.8)
Ireland 50 (2.10.8)
Ireland will travel home from Australia empty-handed after a gutsy second test performance came up short at the Domain Stadium, Perth today.
The Aidan O'Shea captained tourists entered the game looking to claw back a 10-point deficit following last weekend's defeat but they wilted when their Australian opponents moved up through the gears in the third and fourth quarters and finished three points in arrears.
30,116 spectators watched a determined Ireland side take the game to their hosts straight from the off and their efforts was rewarded with goals from Gary Brennan and Chris Barrett.
By the end of the first quarter they had built up a 17-11 lead.
After flying out mid-week to replace the injured Pearse Hanley, Darren Hughes missed a glorious chance to add Ireland's third goal in the 7th minute of the second quarter.
Shane Walsh's pace created plenty of headaches for Australia and a blistering run by the Galway forward created the opening for the Monaghan man but Australian goalkeeper Brendon Goddard proved equal to the task.
Ireland's 'player of the series' Conor McManus continued his rich vein of scoring form and finished with 16 points to his name.
He brought the second quarter scoring to a close with a fine curling effort after Joel Selwood was shown a black card for a late hit on Barrett.
Niall Morgan's accuracy from his kick-outs and a solid defensive effort were also vital ingredients in Ireland's 30 (2.5.3) to 17 (0.4.5) half-time cushion.
In the context of the overall series, it left the team in green ahead by three points at that stage.

Traditionally in this hybrid game, the Australians target the 'moving' third quarter but Walsh drew first blood for Ireland with an 'over'.
As expected, the Shaun Burgoyne captained Australia upped the ante considerably as the quarter progressed and Dayne Zorko, Nat Fyfe, Chad Wingard and Eddie Betts found the target to cut Ireland's lead to three points - 37-33.
Walsh spurned a glorious goal scoring chance in the 15th minute but Ciaran Sheehan and McManus steadied Ireland's nerves with a couple of three pointers and the third quarter finished with the scoreboard reading 41-34 in favour of Joe Kernan's side.
Port Adelaide's Wingard reduced the deficit further with the first 'over' of the fourth quarter and the pressure was very much on the visitors after Rory Sloane made it a one point game in the 3rd minute.
Niall Morgan came to his team's rescue with a fine save to deny Wingard a goal in the 9th minute but Australia took the lead (46-45) thanks to a superb kick from Kade Simpson two minutes later.
As the clock ticked down, Ireland needed goals to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat but three pointers from Betts and Zorko applied the gloss to Australia's 13-point (116-103) series win.
Australia - B Goddard, S Burgoyne (3), R Tarrant, K Simpson, R Laird (3), L Shuey (5), D Zorko (9), S Higgins, P Dangerfield, R Sloane (6), E Betts (9), N Fyfe (3), C Wingard (6), B Brown (4), N Jetta, T Boak, J Gunston (1), Z Merrett (4), J Selwood (BC).

Achilles tendonitis, also sometimes called Achilles tendinitis, is a painful and often debilitating inflammation of the Achilles tendon (heel cord). The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It is located in the back of the lower leg, attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus), and connects the leg muscles to the foot.
The Achilles tendon gives us the ability to rise up on our toes, facilitating the act of walking, and Achilles tendonitis can make walking almost impossible.
There are three stages of tendon inflammation:
Peritenonitis is characterized by localized pain during or following activity. As this condition progresses, pain often develops earlier on during activity, with decreased activity, or while at rest.
Tendinosis is a degenerative condition that usually does not produce symptoms (i.e., is asymptomatic). It may cause swelling or a hard knot of tissue (nodule) on the back of the leg.
Peritenonitis with tendinosis results in pain and swelling with activity. As this condition progresses, partial or complete tendon rupture may occur.

Notice to Members 03-17
Sales Material for Municipal Fund Securities
NASD recognizes that the market for municipal fund securities, particularly Section 529 college savings plan securities, continues to evolve rapidly. Many NASD members active in the municipal fund securities market have no other experience effecting municipal securities transactions and therefore may not be familiar with the regulatory treatment of these securities. Further, even when a broker/dealer or municipal securities dealer has a sound understanding derived from its other municipal securities activities relating to traditional debt securities, the unique nature of municipal fund securities may result in these otherwise familiar rules being applied in unfamiliar ways.
NASD is committed to providing interpretive guidance regarding the application of our rules to dealers effecting transactions in municipal fund securities as we become aware of issues in which such guidance would be beneficial. Consequently, NASD is issuing this Special Notice to Members to clarify the treatment of sales material for municipal fund securities.
Any questions concerning this Special Notice may be directed to Thomas A. Pappas, Associate Vice President, Advertising Regulation, at (240) 386-4500.

It happened the week before Christmas. My house was a wreck. The kids were a wreck. I was the biggest wreck. No make up. Still in pajama pants and a sweat shirt. Scary. So very scary.
I had just taken Jeb to the potty when the doorbell rang. I wanted to ignore it, but I have frosted glass on the front door. Whoever it was must have already spotted the girls who were being much too loud in the living room. I had no choice. I left Jeb to finish his big boy business and went to answer the door.
Half way there, I remembered how hideous I looked. Again, I wanted to ignore the door, but by this time, the girls were screaming, "Mama! Somebody's at the door!" at 989 decibels.
Really? Thanks, girls.
So I swallowed my pride and opened the door to find a delivery guy standing there with a package. I tried to play it cool and made a pitiful excuse for my scary appearance and my disaster of a house. By this time the girls are standing on either side of me in their crazy-hair, 1/2 pjs 1/2 normal clothes, orphan-like state, staring at the poor guy like they haven't seen another human being in months, drooling at the package in his hand. If he wasn't terrified at that point, he should have been.
I signed the little thingy as fast as I could, handed it back to him, and... this is when it really goes downhill... I handed it back to him and said, "Tico."
Tico. Never heard that word? Oh, maybe because it's not really a word. It's a character on Dora the Explorer. Explanation: When Belle was teeny tiny, she LOVED Dora. And for some reason, her word for "thank you" was "tico." She said "tico" for years, and it just stuck with us. So from time to time, instead of "thank you" we say, "tico." But. Not. To. Strangers. Delivering. Packages.
The poor man did a double take at me after the word came out of my mouth. I wanted to turn back time and somehow reel it back in, but it was too late. I started to at least attempt an explanation when Jeb came running out the bathroom, thinking someone he knew was there. He busted out of the front door at the guy and stopped dead in his tracks. Dead in his COMPLETELY NAKED tracks. Oh yes. My son was fresh off the potty with not a stitch on.
The guy just laughed, but I'm pretty sure it was a desperate attempt not to scream. I told him, "bye," but what I really wanted to say was, "It's ok to run."
I scooped Jeb up, escaped back into the house as fast as I could, and locked the door behind us. If delivery people have a little black book where they flag people as "crazy," make no mistake... I have been flagged.
And just when I thought it couldn't get worse, as I was putting Jeb's pants back on, he looked at me and smiles, then says, "Mommy, you a printhess." I gave him a big hug. I totally needed to hear that I was a princess. I told him, "thank you" and then, from the couch, I hear Belle say, "He means your crown."
My what?
I feel on top of my head and pull off a plastic, purple, feathery, bejeweled tiara. I barely remembered when Jeb put it there while I was talking on the phone earlier that morning. Awwwwwwe. Some.
And here's what I told God.... "God, If I were a prideful person, I would totally understand that lesson. Maybe learn from it even. But since I'm NOT... I'm pretty sure You just needed the laugh."
But I guess if there IS a moral to be found to my story it would be... even when I look like a mess to the world, I'm still a princess to my son. That's a pretty big honor. Maybe the biggest. Tico, Jeb. Tico.

This cracks me up! I think you should wear a purple tiara all the time. We have our own little funny words for things in my family....and even when I don't say them for years, sometimes they just slip out. My brother wouldn't eat beans when he was little, but somehow calling them "banjos" got him to eat them. Who knows?

I LOVE IT! Stuff like this happens to us ALL the time. But we hardly ever get embarrassed or mortified anymore. We are different and we LIKE it! (except with Jeff, he is WAY different and he does sometimes make us all want to pretend like we don't know him)
BTW, Tico has a lot of fans. My girls love him too!

Lake Turkana is a natural World Heritage Site in northern Kenya, inscribed for its remarkable biodiversity and geological features. Threats to the livelihoods of the local community and the local environment are now known here at the World Heritage Committee in Paris thanks to a young woman from the region who raised the issue at the International Youth Forum at the Biodiversity Summit in Nagoya, Japan late last year.
Within the lake there are sizeable hippopotamus and crocodile populations. The local communities around the Turkana are dependent on it for freshwater, irrigation and for feeding their livestock. Fishing is also an important revenue earner in what is a quite impoverished region.
IUCN's Tatjana Puschkarsky worked with the International Youth Forum "Go4BioDiv", and she has more on the latest situation in Lake Turkana.
Mikelita was the young person from Lake Turkana who attended the Biodiversity Summit in Nagoya in October 2010 and brought the situation facing her home to the world's attention. Mikelita works as a social worker in the Lake Turkana region. Tatiana explains what Mikelita said.
But that's not where the story ended. With the help of IUCN the issues raised by Mikelita have been heard here at the World Heritage Committee in Paris. Tatiana tells us what happened next.


text: Main Dishes, My Work Gluten-Free Pad Thai With Shrimp When I went gluten-free I never realized how exciting it would be to recreate some of my favorite gluten-filled dishes at home. Today I am sharing a Gluten-Free Pad Thai with Shrimp recipe that you can create in your own kitchen and your guests will never know that this delicious dish is gluten-free! This month Walmart challenged me to create a delicious Lent recipe that you could enjoy with your family. I am no stranger to creating fun dishes for the Lenten season. You can see last year's round-up of 30 fish and meat-free meal ideas. For this challenge, I wanted to recreate one of my favorite takeout dishes. Have you ever had Pad Thai? If you haven't, you are in for a delicious treat. Pad Thai, according to Wikipedia, is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food and at casual local eateries in Thailand. It is made with soaked dried rice noodles which are stir-fried with eggs and chopped firm tofu, fish sauce, dried shrimp, garlic or shallots, red chili pepper and palm sugar, and served with lime wedges and often chopped roasted peanuts. While I love the delicateness of the rice noodle, I prefer a more linguine-style noodle in this dish to balance the lightness of the shrimp and because these hold up well to a lot of reheating. Just like my chicken noodle soup I made last month, I am relying on the Tinkyada noodles to create this dish. You are looking for the Fettucini Style Pad Thai Noodles. Be sure that you are using a gluten-free soy sauce and fish sauce. I rely upon the La Choy Lite Soy Sauce as my soy sauce substitute, but there are reports that some people have a reaction to this. I have not, but be sure to do your own research on what product will fit your gluten-free needs best. The fun part about sharing this with your family and friends is that you can also create a variety of toppings so everyone can personalize their dish. I love roasted chopped peanuts, sriracha, fresh limes, and cilantro on mine. I hope you love this dish as much as we did and can enjoy this during the Lent season…or any season, really! We polished this dish off in no time at all and I can't wait to make it again. Thanks to these sturdy noodles, the dish reheats beautifully and can be eaten for your lunches or a late night snack!

It's kind of amazing how many things you can create with washi tape these days, isn't it? Wall decals, invitation designs, monograms, furniture, pets… okay, some of those were an exaggeration, but seriously, if you have a Pinterest account then you know what I mean. Alas, I sort of caved and hopped on the train, too, which is how this DIY Washi Tape Bunting & Cake Plate (that I made for Love, Wed, Bliss) and cake plate came about. Want to whip up your own patterned cake plate? Here's how —
All you have to do is alternate the tape, leaving excess on the sides, then use an exacto knife to trim the edges & voila! It's not exactly reinventing the wheel, but it does make it pretty cute!

Research Summary
The goals of Dr. Hruban's research are to understand the noninvasive precursor lesions from which invasive pancreatic cancers develop (PanINs and IPMNs); why pancreatic cancer aggregates in some families; and the pathologic ramifications of genetic alterations in the pancreas. Toward these goals, Dr. Hruban has applied molecular genetics to the study of noninvasive precursor lesions in the pancreas and to patients with familial pancreatic cancer. A better understanding of these lesions and families may provide an avenue for the early detection of pancreatic cancer.

"We realized as we started talking to these girls that we had hit on something," recalled Jenny Leahy, director of marketing for Microsoft's Global Advertising team. "Even though females in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields have done and continue to do incredible things that have shaped our world, their stories aren't as well known. Uncovering these stories and celebrating these women is key for the next generation to have female role models to help them realize they can do it, too."
The #MakeWhatsNext Patent Program seeks out industrious women, or groups that include at least one female member, who are working on advances in technology that could make a real difference in the world. It then connects them with Microsoft patent lawyers and a newly formed Patent Board of senior company leaders, researchers and technology experts to provide them with mentorship and connections across Microsoft and the tech industry.
The other teams in the program are AfriGals, a group of women in Uganda who have developed a low-cost phone app to help detect sickle cell anemia; Team AMANDA, a group of four engineering students in Greece who have created a gamified virtual reality app to combat bullying; and a medical school graduate in India who created Care N Grow, a system that monitors schoolkids' health profiles at scale to detect often-overlooked medical problems.
2 Black Shirt Pocket With Polka BASICS Pack Dress ZALORA Navy Dot "When we started looking at inventors to invite into the program, we really focused on the impact these inventions could make, and we also wanted to ensure they had a high likelihood of receiving a patent," Leahy said. "The problems these teams are trying to solve for are big issues that the world is facing today, and I love that the teams are and will continue to drive considerable impact through their inventions, both in their local communities and around the world."
Microsoft Assistant General Counsel Sandy Swain, who leads a team of patent attorneys at Microsoft, connects patent experts with Patent Program participants to file their applications. She said she has long been interested in seeing more girls and women find success in science and technology, so she "was really excited about this idea and this way we, in the patent group, could help."
"There are multiple steps in the patent process that need to be successfully navigated and completed in order to get to a patent, and it can be very intimidating for someone who's not familiar with it," she said. "Having a patent attorney work with the participants eases that barrier in many ways."The students' CAD rendering shows the sleek design they envision.
The engineering students behind Tactile hope their device will allow people living with low or no vision to read everything from textbooks to menus, all in real time, by converting the words into Braille that appears on a refreshable handheld display.
As they work to improve their early prototypes, they also want to combine the mechanism used to capture images of text with the display itself, which has pins that move up and down to form Braille characters. Their goal is to make the device about 5 inches long by 2 inches wide — barely larger than a candy bar — and display about 36 Braille characters at a time.Dress Overall Pomelo Burgundy Corduroy Burgundy Mini B8wqpvz
The students are working to refine the mechanical actuation system, which moves the pins, and are exploring ways to use materials that will allow them to make the device much cheaper than any other Braille display on the market. They're aiming to make it cost less than $100.
Jenny Lay-Flurrie, Microsoft's chief accessibility officer, loves the idea that the students have focused their efforts on a way to help empower people. Such technology inspires many because "we all want to do projects that are going to enable people to do whatever their hearts dream of," she said.
We all want to do projects that are going to enable people to do whatever their hearts dream of.
"There cannot be enough investment in technology that will enable, empower and allow people with disabilities to go and do amazing things," she said. "And getting it to under $100 is gold dust. I can't wait to see where this one goes — and I think the patent is a great next step."
The group now includes six students — Wang, Yu, Jialin Shi, Charlene Xia, Grace Li and Chandani Doshi — who are all starting their senior year at MIT and are each fascinated by technology in their own ways.
Enthusiasm fills Wang's voice as she talks about her experience writing code for computational simulations involving solar-thermal fields as an intern at BMW in Germany. Li just wrapped up a summer interning in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Shi recently took a trip to a Six Flags amusement park and found herself preoccupied by the engineering of the wires and harnesses that each ride relies on to keep people safe at such lofty, spinning heights.
But these studious engineers are also serious about having fun. On many nights, they crowd into Xia and Shi's double dorm room to watch movies or hold impromptu dance parties. Each year for Shi's birthday, they capture their dance moves to some outrageous tune to make their own music videos.
At dinnertime, if they're not laughing over a meal in the campus dining hall, they're likely out trying new restaurants in their ongoing mission to find food that is too spicy for Doshi, but they haven't been able to overwhelm her unflappable taste buds yet.
The idea for Tactile was born earlier this year. Some of the students thought it would be fun to participate in the MakeMIT hackathon. They entered under the team name "100% Enthusiasm" because, in an early group chat to gauge interest, each responded with the same basic answer: "I don't know how much I can contribute, but I'm pretty excited!"
"That was the consensus of the entire group, so I made a joke about how we have zero percent skill and 100 percent enthusiasm, and the name stuck," Shi said. "We just became '100% Enthusiasm' because that's what we knew we had going in."
They started by throwing around ideas of what they could design and build in 15 hours: A dancing robot? A machine that draws elaborate pictures? An alarm clock that awakens you with a splash of water, or maybe a helpful smack in the face?
As ideas popped up and were just as swiftly cast aside, the group realized they really wanted to do something that could make a difference in people's lives. Shi came across a blog post with a hypothetical rendering of a Braille watch, and the students were soon discussing the idea of building a device that could turn text to Braille.
Pocket ZALORA Navy Shirt Polka Dot 2 Black Dress Pack With BASICS "We knew assistive technology was a huge and growing field, and this was something I think everyone felt good about making," Shi said. "Especially since we knew that if we could make this device, it would actually have an impact."
Since the hackathon, the students have improved their prototype several times. Many people suggested that they get a patent. It seemed like a good idea, but they felt intimidated by the process.
That's why they were so excited to be invited into the patent program in July. The students believe it will make a big difference in how far they'll be able to take their idea.
"The legal side is very important to us, but certainly Microsoft also has a lot of really bright engineers," Yu said. "We stand to benefit a lot from learning from these people, who have more experience and maybe have considered things we haven't thought of yet."
The students learned through their research that the Braille literacy rate among blind people around the world is discouragingly low, partly because there's limited technology for Braille and partly because of an increasing reliance on audio technologies, which Wang said "can hinder people from learning Braille or taking it seriously."
"Our device would really increase people's access to Braille because it's portable, and we're trying to make it affordable as well," she said. "We could potentially increase the Braille literacy rate, which would in turn give people more independence and better employment opportunities."
Dress 2 Pack Pocket Navy Shirt Black ZALORA With BASICS Polka Dot Despite the prevalence of text-to-speech and other audio-based technology, Braille and the technology that uses it remain as important as ever, according to Anne Taylor, who served for 11 years as the director of access technology at the National Federation of the Blind and is now a senior supportability programming manager at Microsoft.
Blind people in the U.S. have long faced high rates of unemployment. A 2013 study showed less than 40 percent of legally blind or visually impaired people are employed — but it also revealed that those who read Braille on a weekly basis were more likely to have jobs, and even to earn higher salaries, than those who did not.Chandani Doshi, Jialin Shi, Bonnie Wang, Charlene Xia, Tania Yu and Grace Li of Team Tactile.
Taylor, who has been blind since birth and uses Braille every day, says Braille literacy "has really helped many blind people get ahead in life."
Taylor is eager to learn more about the students' technology because she knows the drawbacks of what's on the market now. She has two electronic Braille displays on her desk. One had a price tag of about $5,000. The other cost even more.
"If we can bring the price point down so that it will be affordable for every Braille reader in the world," she said, "that would absolutely be helpful."
People can already convert Braille to text with technology available now, but it takes a PC, a phone to scan the text, an optical character recognition app and a Braille display that all have to be physically connected each time, "so it's very convoluted and cumbersome," Taylor said.
A device that turns text into Braille as quickly and easily as a sighted person can read a piece of paper "would be outstanding," she said.
The Tactile team would love to see their invention help boost Braille literacy around the globe. They hope it can help many people gain more independence, and they've even been discussing how they could make it available to schools that don't have the budget for expensive technology.
Polka Dot BASICS Black Shirt Dress Pack Pocket With 2 Navy ZALORA "The thing that's really pushed us is there's not really something like this yet in the world… and it's something that's needed," Li said. "That's really motivated us to continue to develop this and make it happen."Originally published on 9/21/2016 / Photos by Brian Smale / © Microsoft

It's the stuff Christmas dreams are made of.
Odds have been slashed on a White Christmas as some forecasters predict Britain is set for its coldest winter in five years.
According the Met Office, the last official White Christmas was in 2010 - when it recorded snow on the ground at 83 per cent of its weather stations, the highest amount ever recorded.
William Hill is currently offering odds of just 3-1 on a White Christmas in Leeds.
AccuWeather forecaster Tyler Roys said: "We'll see full-on cold spells. Northern England faces colder than normal period, some of which could affect southern England. And Scotland is forecast a colder than normal winter too.
"Given recent winters' minimum temperatures of -8C to -21C, lows of that level are possible this winter."
Last week we reported on predictions of months of heavy snow and the worst winter in half a century.

In the real world, you can ensure your family's safety and wellbeing by keeping them away from strangers and questionable content, by locking the doors and by closing the curtains. However, your computer grants the cyber world access to your home, opening the doors to strangers, dangers and negative influences. That's why monitoring software is a must-have to defend your family and their computers from digital mischief. Online predators, cyberbullies, pornography and violence lurk on the internet, but you can shield your family from unwanted exposure through computer-monitoring software. These programs show you what is going on during the times you can't be right there with a watchful eye. The best monitoring software offer an array of options and tools to help safeguard your family. The top three products we reviewed – SpyAgent, WebWatcher and PC Pandora – have a long list of features you'll find useful to protect your family and give you peace of mind. You can learn more about computer monitoring in our featured articles. Continue reading below to find out what we looked at and what we think is important to consider before you make your purchase. When choosing monitoring software, there are a few things to consider. Different programs offer different levels of protection and different options for recording activity, filtering content and blocking access. The following are the categories on which we focused: Monitoring The best monitoring software will include a variety of tools and features for monitoring, and they do it without the user having any idea. All of the services we reviewed silently log topics searched, websites visited and keystrokes entered. Not only does keystroke logging provide a glimpse at typed content, it in turn provides access to usernames and passwords. Social media is a concern for many parents, and a number of programs offer social-media monitoring tools for websites like Facebook and Twitter. Screenshots will let you see if your child is posting inappropriate photos or chatting with a person he or she doesn't know. Further, many systems monitor instant messaging chats from online providers, web-based email services and email attachments. Some website-monitoring systems also work as computer-monitoring software, tracking activity on your computer. They keep track of files opened and the duration of use. Document tracking follows files that were opened, edited and even relocated on the hard drive. Blocking & Controls While basic monitoring is a standard feature, not all internet usage monitor software allows you to block or filter content. If you want a preemptive strike against inappropriate use, you will want to make sure your choice also offers blocking options. Blocking entire websites is a common feature, and some programs go further to offer blocking based on keyword or categories, including options like pornography and gambling. Some setups offer advanced blocking options, too. If different users require different levels of access, you'll want a software that allows you to control restrictions based on user. If you want to make sure no one is using the computer after midnight, an application with scheduled-blocking options would be a good choice. Reporting With all of the screenshots, logs and information saved from website monitoring, you'll want to make sure the way in which the information is presented and accessed fits your needs. Many systems will email reports automatically to the administrator. With some programs, you can access information via the internet. Most spy software offers access to the dashboard and reports directly on the monitored computer. Built-in reports that itemize content and users make scanning through information more efficient. For example, with some software you can view a list instant message chats and see who they were with and when they took place; you can even see if flagged keywords come up. This type of organization makes it easy to quickly find what you are looking for. In addition to scheduled emailed reports, some applications also send email alerts if they detect certain keywords. For example, if a user types profanity into a search engine or status update, the administrator will automatically receive an email alert. Help & Support Manufacturers should offer solid help and support, and the company's website is a great resource, generally offering customer services by email, website form or live chat. Most websites have FAQs or customer forums for quick answers before contacting customer service. Many manufacturers also offer free demos to check out the software before you buy and upgrade options after your initial purchase. With the increase of computer and internet use, increased protection is necessary to keep your family safe. Negative influences of all kinds are only a few keystrokes away, but computer-monitoring software offer protection and peace of mind when you can't be there. Options range from basic website monitoring to full control over websites, searches and applications. If you aren't sure which software fits your needs, use our reviews to determine how much protection and coverage each piece of software offers so that you can cater to your family's needs.

Rather, with Truvativ you get SRAM's signature high-quality, high-technology, and high-value designs. Regardless of your intent -- a bomber crankset for an all-mountain bike, or something featherlight for a cross-country bike -- Truvativ cranksets and bottom brackets proudly carry on SRAM traditions.

On Thursday Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey told a Senate committee that the Obama administration is considering the use of military force in Syria.
On the following day, the four-star general provided United States Senate Committee on Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) with an unclassified letter that details recommendations for U.S. policy options regarding the "potential use of U.S. military force in the Syrian conflict."
Gen. Dempsey warned "the decision to use force is ... no less than an act of war," adding that the U.S. "must anticipate and be prepared for the unintended consequences of our action. ... Deeper involvement is hard to avoid."
Before going over the options, Dempsey reiterated his non-committal stance: "The decision over whether to introduce military force is a political one that our Nation entrusts to its civilian leaders. I also understand that you deserve my best military advice on how military force could be used in order to decide whether it should be used."
Train, Advise, and Assist the Opposition
This involves using nonlethal forces "to train and advise the opposition on tasks ranging from weapons employment to tactical planning," Dempsey wrote. "We could also offer assistance in the form of intelligence and logistics."
This option is reportedly already in play. In May Der Spiegel reported that Americans were training Syrian anti-government fighters in Jordan, noting that the program aimed to build around a dozen units totaling some 10,000 fighters.
The U.S. currently also at least 900 combat-ready troops in Jordan.
Conduct Limited Stand-off Strikes
This option using lethal force "to strike targets that enable the regime to conduct military operations, proliferate advanced weapons, and defend itself," Dempsey said. "Over time, the impact would be the significant degradation of regime capabilities and an increase in regime desertions."
Israel has reportedly carried out four airstrikes in Syria this year:
The first, in January, targeted a convoy located at a major military research facility outside of Damascus ( satellite photos here).
On May 3 jets bombed two locations at Damascus International Airport on May 3.
A strike on May 5 lit up the Syrian military's fortress on Qasioun Mountain — hitting the headquarters of the army's Fourth Division, the elite and feared unit run by the president's brother Maher, as well as the command of the government's elite Republican Guard. The strike killed at least 42 Syrian soldiers.
According to American officials, an Israeli strike on Jul 5 targeted advanced anti-ship cruise missiles sold to the Syria government by Russia.
Establish a No-Fly Zone
After a largely successful U.S.-led no-fly zone helped topple Col. Muammar Qaddafi in Libya in 2011, many have wondered why the Obama administration hasn't explored a similar mission in Syria.
"Impacts would likely include the near total elimination of the regime's ability to bomb opposition strongholds and sustain its forces by air," he says.
But it may not have the desired effect.
"It may also fail to reduce the violence or shift the momentum because the regime relies overwhelmingly on surface fires—mortars, artillery, and missiles. "
And it would be costly.
"Estimated costs are $500 million initially, averaging as much as a billion dollars per month over the course of a year," Dempsey writes.
Establish Buffer Zones
Establishing a buffer zone, most likely across the borders with Turkey or Jordan, where U.S. forces could safely train Syrian rebels is considered one of the most viable options.
"The opposition could use these zones to organize and train," Dempsey notes." They could also serve as safe areas for the distribution of humanitarian assistance."
But in order to do this, the U.S. would need thousands of ground forces to defend those zones and hundreds of aircraft to create a provisional no-fly zone.
Dempsey estimates that a limited no-fly zone and training operations would push costs of this operation into the $1 billion per month range.
Control Chemical Weapons
This option speaks to reining in the chemical weapons spread across Syria that the U.S., Britain, and France all allege have been used on the rebels and civilian populace.
Gaining control of the weapons is no easy task and would cost about $1 billion a month, writes Dempsey.
"We do this by destroying portions of Syria's massive stockpile, interdicting its movement and delivery, or by seizing and securing program components," the letter states.
At a minimum, Dempsey says it would require "a no-fly zone as well as air and missile strikes involving hundreds of aircraft, ships, submarines, and other enablers. Thousands of special operations forces and other ground forces would be needed to assault and secure critical sites."
What Dempsey Thinks
In March Dempsey implied military force would be a bad idea: "I don't think at this point I can see a military option that would create an understandable outcome. And until I do, it would be my advice to proceed cautiously."
And in the letter, he stressed that officials must "understand risk-not just to our forces, but to our other global responsibilities. ... Some options may not be feasible in time or cost without compromising our security elsewhere."

Finally! A&E Construction!
After years of hoping, dreaming, and fund-raising, the campus will soon get its athletics and events center; construction is under way.
At the official ground-breaking ceremony for the athletics and events center, the sense of joy and relief was palpable. After years of planning and fund-raising, Ithaca College had met its $52.5 million fund-raising goal for the $65.5 million A&E center; construction was officially under way with those first few shovels of dirt hoisted by A&E Center National Committee chair Mike Serventi '72, President Tom Rochon, vice president for institutional advancement Shelley Semmler, and other key members of the team that made it happen.
The A&E center, including a 130,000-square-foot fieldhouse, outdoor stadium with lighted turf field, 35,000-square-foot aquatics pavilion, and outdoor tennis facility with six courts, will take about 20 months to build and should be in use in fall 2011.
The center will serve as both a state-of-the-art practice and competition space for student-athletes and the largest indoor event venue in Tompkins County for both campus and community events. The College will be able to bring to campus famous performers, scholars, cultural icons, and political figures who draw large audiences — enhancing the quality of education for all students and the reputation of the College.
Fund-raising for the center began in 2001 and was expected to continue through February 2010, almost a full year after construction was slated to begin. But with the current state of the economy, the board of trustees voted not to move forward without having all gifts and commitments in hand. The A&E Center National Committee, led by Serventi, and Division of Institutional Advancement, led by Semmler, raced to complete a mini-campaign for the center before June 15, when a favorable contractor's bid would expire.
"The energy of the Ithaca College community to make the A&E center a reality has been overwhelming, particularly on the part of trustees and alumni," says President Rochon. "The realization of this longtime dream will benefit Ithaca students for decades to come."
"We had an amazing volunteer effort behind this campaign," says campaign chair Serventi. "Alumni from various sports teams even banded together to name portions of the center and competed to see which team could score the highest percentage of participation in the mini-campaign. A large number of volunteers reached out to former classmates and teammates, and alumni from IC fraternities challenged their brothers to make gifts as well."
In total, there were more than 2,600 individual donors to the A&E campaign. While there were many extraordinary gifts among those 2,600, a few especially stand out.
Caroleen Feeney '86, an Ithaca College trustee, was instrumental in helping the College secure several multimillion-dollar gifts from the Atlantic Philanthropies. "I was not an athlete at Ithaca College," says Feeney. "I spent my time in the theater. But I was a great fan and supporter of the sports program, and I understand that this project is a vitally important investment in the College's future. While it will certainly benefit our student-athletes, its impact will also be felt by the entire campus community. Of course, as a theater arts graduate, I'm especially looking forward to the Dillingham Center renovations."
Ed Glazer '92, executive vice president of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and his wife, Shari, named the Shari and Edward Glazer Arena in the new fieldhouse. "When Shelley Semmler and President Williams showed me the plans for the six-lane, 200-meter indoor track capable of holding almost 7,500 people, it didn't take long to decide I wanted to be a part of it," Glazer says. "Ithaca College is in the process of transforming itself on all levels. I'm thrilled to be giving back and to be part of this exciting time in the College's history."
Charles Wheeler '56 and his wife, Carolyn, will be naming the Charles M. and Carolyn B. Wheeler outdoor tennis facility, which includes six courts. "We're proud to see the long-term vision of Ithaca College continue to meet the high standards set by its administration," says Charles Wheeler. "This facility will allow the College to continue to attract exceptional students."
Chris LaCroix '79 spearheaded an effort by men's rugby alumni to name the stadium with lighted turf field for Marty Higgins '82, a teammate who died unexpectedly of an undetected heart ailment in fall 1979. "Rugby teammates Bill Hirst '79, Mike Tate '79, and I had discussed looking for a way to honor Marty's memory," says LaCroix. "The IC rugby alumni are both proud and humbled that our good friend and teammate has been honored in this way."
Serventi and his wife, Gail Weir Serventi '72, surprised Semmler by announcing they were naming the Shelley S. Semmler Concourse in her honor. "This great fund-raising success could not have happened," said Michael Serventi, "if not for the all-out effort by the A&E Center National Committee; 100 percent participation from the trustees; the solicitations by coaches, their players and alumni; and the continued support of the administration — all of which was coordinated through the herculean work of the Office of Institutional Advancement."

I grew up in the same hometown as Marty Higgins so it doesn't surprise me that he touched so many people at Ithaca College in such a short time. He was one of a kind!! Thanks for bestowing such a great tribute in his memory!
Marty Higgins was one of those people who truly you could not say one bad thing about him. Everyone loved him. He was always upbeat, always smiled and NEVER said an unkind word about anyone. He is truly missed by those of us that played HS football with him & those that just knew him from school.
The underclassmen at Red Hook looked up to Marty for guidance and he was always there to help out on or off the field. Ithaca College has done a very SPECIAL thing by honoring Marty this way. Nice Job to the committee for doing this and his old FB teammates.
I grew up in the same hometown with Marty Higgins and his wonderful community-oriented family. I am so pleased to hear that Marty's zest for life, care for others, and full spirit will be remembered each time a game or practice is held on this field. Thank you Ithaca College!
How wonderful of Marty's friends to remember him in this very appropriate way. I was a teacher and am now a guidance counselor in Red Hook Central School, where Marty attended. His entire family has been an asset to the Red Hook community. His mom, in particular, who worked in the Junior/Middle School touched the lives of so many children in very loving and memorable ways. I am sure they all feel Marty's presence right now. Thank you for not forgetting.
Here-Here to Brian Moore's comments above. It has been 30 years since Marty's passing and we all have such fond memories of him to cherish. When I heard of this tribute to Marty my memories of him were refreshed knowing that he is still a big part of so many peoples lives. Thank you Ithaca College for honoring our truly honorable friend!

It is fitting to have this facility named after Martin. First meeting with Martin was in Kinegarten. He was in the class next door. He would scoot over to our class on a board with wheels, being the showman that he was, and later seeing that haming it up in wrestling and other events was pure Martin. Make no mistake this was not for show, he had massive heart, competitiveness and skill. He learned he had an audiences attention and that gave him even more drive to work and perform. We played countless football games in our youth and in school. To continue to honor Martin would be to give it your all first with passion and humility, skill second and then ham it up once and awhile.

It also has four slideouts which expands the living areas significantly and provides carpet and tile floors, a fireplace, ceiling fans, king size bed, Central Furnace & Air conditioning, central vacuum system, televisions, sensurround, yada, yada, yada. But I also keep different styles of tents and tailgate camping equipment. It's good to have options.
