New Zealand falls in a surprise upset following rugby's return to the Olympic Games after a 92-year absence, America's oldest Olympian wins bronze in equestrian and Kenyan police arrest their country's Olympic track and field manager for accepting a bribe as the Rio Olympics continue.
Here are some notable figures from Day 4:
21: The number of gold medals U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps has won. Phelps added to his count twice on Tuesday: once in the 200-meter butterfly and again in the 4 by 200-meter freestyle relay.
15: The number of gold medals to be awarded on Tuesday. The competitions include four big battles in the pool and the ever-dazzling women's team gymnastics title.
1st: Nate Ebner made Olympic history as the first active NFL player to compete at the Summer Olympics. Ebner, who helped the New England Patriots with Superbowl XLIX, stepped onto the pitch for USA rugby for the first time during the second half of the match against Argentina Monday afternoon. USA lost 17-14 in the first rugby match of the Olympics in 92 years.
1st: Hungarian-born Szandra Szogedi made history when she stepped onto the judo mat at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on Tuesday. Except that it was for Ghana. Szogedi became the first-ever female judoka to represent the African nation, after obtaining Ghanaian citizenship through her husband.
12: The number of world series championships New Zealand has won in rugby, leading them to be considered medal favorites in the competition before falling in an upset to Japan Tuesday 14-12.
23rd: China's Lijia Xu current standing after being disqualified from her fourth-place finish in the second race Monday. The defending gold medalist in the Laser Radial class in the Olympic sailing regatta has some serious ground to makeup if she hopes to win gold again.
Acting on a protest by Paige Railey of the United States, the jury determined that Xu performed her penalty turn too late after she fouled Railey approaching the windward mark.
52: The age of America's oldest Olympian Phillip Dutton this year, who's won bronze Tuesda in the equestrian event. Dutton stood in 4th place heading into Tuesday's final jumping phase and finished strong to bring home a medal.
13,000: The amount of the bribe Kenyan police say the country's Olympic track and field manager accepted leading to his arrest. Michael Rotich was ordered to return home from the Olympics in Brazil after he was caught in a sting by reporters from Britain's The Sunday Times newspaper. The paper said Rotich offered to provide the reporters, who were posing as coaches, advance warning of doping tests in return for a 10,000-pound ($13,000) bribe.
5: The Final Five, the nickname adopted by the gold-medal-winning U.S. Women's Gynmastics team, in recognition of the smaller teams that will travel to Tokyo in 2020. Future teams will be made up of four members. The U.S. women, led by Simone Biles, won the second consecutive gold medal for the team, and the third overall. They were ahead of the second-place Russians by a record 8.209 points.

text: The study of gravity has played a central role in the history of science—from Galileo and Newton to Einstein's twentieth century theory of general relativity. Yet, in spite of five centuries of study, many aspects of gravity remain a mystery. How can gravity, which in many ways is the dominant force in the universe, be at the same time, by far, the weakest of the four known forces in nature? See how physicists are approaching this question through two topics of intense research in gravitational physics today: short-scale measurements of gravity's inverse-square law, and the search for ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves.

DALLAS (AP) The Dallas Mavericks have sent Jared Cunningham back to their NBA Development League team.
The move Monday was the second time the rookie guard has been assigned to the Texas Legends, who play in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. He averaged 18 points in seven games earlier this season.
Cunningham has played in eight games for the Mavericks, averaging two points and 3 minutes per game.
The Mavericks also added veteran guard Mike James for the rest of the season. Dallas either had to guarantee him the prorated amount of the $1.2 million veteran minimum or let him go after signing him to a pair of 10-day contracts.

Redmill is a beautiful 16th century lake and is as close as you will get to fishing a traditional English estate lake with the potential of a huge French Carp. Despite its age, it holds an abundance of natural food. Redmill was hand dug for peat extraction and this has created many underwater features with numerous silt beds, crusty peat and clear granite areas. Although you seldom see the fish on top you can only imagine the monsters that cruise below the overhanging weeping willows.
Redmill was established as a Carp fishery in 2002, and now, with careful stocking and some huge original fish, Redmill is one of the most stunning and well stocked Carp waters in France. Take a look at our - catch reports.
61lb 2oz
54lb 10oz
43lb 8oz
Redmill is set amongst 15 acres of beautiful woodland, and with the fully equipped fishing lodge set in a shady Poplar grove next to the lake it makes the ideal French Carp fishing holiday venue.
Anglers return year after year to fish Redmill, and those that choose to try other venues often come back. The quality of fishing and the beautiful surroundings are second to none. There is a good average size of Carp to over 60lb. With many 30's and 40's and more than the occasional 50 coming out. With Catfish exceeding 140lb and Grass Carp to 40lb+ there is plenty of opportunity to land other specimens, but with such a large head of fish in 9 acres it is not always easy. You have to work hard to catch the fish but the rewards are certainly worth it.
For any anglers looking to bring the family, or for those who would like to have a few home comforts we have two Gites available, with a heated swimming pool, hot tub and large sunbathing area, together with the chance of catching one of our big fish, it could be your ultimate holiday??
Located in the centre of Brittany, Redmill is easily accessible from all northern French ports. The night ferries from Portsmouth or Plymouth are a relaxing way to travel with only a 1 hour drive from St Malo or 3hrs from Caen or Cherbourg. Ferries to La Havre are a more economical option with a 3.5 hour drive. Whichever way you decide to travel to Redmill, we are sure you will have a memorable time.

For those seeking a natural anti-aging supplement, many are now choosing a deer antler velvet extract. Pure IGF and Pure IGF Ultimate, offers a pure deer antler velvet extract in either a liquid or tablet.
What makes Pure IGF and Pure IGF Ultimate so powerful are the EFAs and concentrated active proteins that it contains. These are important building blocks that help to nourish the cells of the body.
Besides lifestyle changes to help prevent premature aging, people have been searching for an anti-aging supplement for years. Pure Solutions has created an anti-aging supplement that is a synergistic blend of growth factors that also contains very high concentrations of essential fatty acids (EFAs) delivered in a liquid or tablet format. The Pure IGF and Pure IGF Premium, help you "discover the fountain of youth", according to the packaging.
Pure IGF Extreme and Pure IGF Ultimate were both designed to help the most dedicated of athletes who push themselves to the limit of physical exhaustion. By directly supplementing with Pure IFG Extreme or Pure IGF Ultimate many athletes have avoided the use of taking an un-natural human growth hormone supplement. You can choose either the Pure IGF Extreme liquid or Pure IGF Extreme tablets.
Based on the information provided by Pure Solutions, these anti-aging oral formulas can help to slow the degradation and aging of human cells via the growth factors, proteins and fatty acids provided, which are the basic building blocks used for the development and regeneration of healthy cells. If the protein and fatty acids are not available for the cells during growth and regeneration, it's possible for the cells to age more rapidly.
With Pure IGF and Pure IGF Premium you can help your body to slow down the aging of the cells and tissues by supplying them with the concentrated essential fatty acids and active proteins they require.
Pure IGF and Pure IGF Premium contain the purest forms of DAV or Deer Antler Velvet extract. It has been documented that Deer Antler Velvet extract has been used in eastern medicine for more than 2,000 years. Deer antlers have been shown to grow at a rate of approximately 1 inch/day; in fact, deer antlers are one of the only mammalian organs on Earth that is able to regenerate.
The Deer Antler Velvet extract is obtained without pain to the deer, by gently snipping the tip of special deer antlers. This material is then filtered and ground into a fine powder to be used in the premium extract in a 43:1 ratio. Pure IGF and Pure IGF Premium is unique, in that it contains extract from only antler tips because they contain the highest concentration of beneficial constituents and growth factors.
Pure IGF and Pure IGF Premium benefits include:

Who should have robot-assisted radical prostatectomy?
There are many ways to treat prostate cancer that is localized (only in the prostate) including radiation, surgery and observation. All patients with prostate cancer who come to Roswell Park for the first time are discussed at a conference every other week that includes multiple specialists including radiation oncologists and urologists.
Certain characteristics of patients are looked at to determine if they are eligible for robot-assisted surgery.
Medical history
Medical history is important when considering surgery. Anesthesiologists use the "ASA" score to classify patients prior to surgery based on medical history. This is an overall estimation of your physical health, based in part on whether or not there is systemic disease (problems with one of the body's main systems). ASA scores are given in Roman numerals:
ASA I: a normal, healthy patient
ASA II: a patient with mild systemic disease, such as someone with well-controlled high blood pressure
ASA III: someone with severe systemic disease that interferes with their normal functioning
ASA IV: someone whose disease puts them at constant risk: for example, a person with a combination of serious illnesses
Among the patients from Roswell Park who have had robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, most were ASA II (86%).

Sure, there're plenty of gadgets to soothe your troubled soul with smells, lights and sounds— but why buy a bunch of these, when the LTK2000 does it all in one? Once the Therapy Station has calmed your ears with 24 relaxing sound options, a pop-up ring of bright LEDs tries to banish those SAD blues. Aromatherapy scents will waft around you from its built-in heater, while an anion generator cleans up the air. Strangely its designers missed tackling all five senses by omitting a massager and chocolate dispenser, but hey ho. Available for around $395 in Korea at first, we guess it'll be over here soon enough. [Technabob]

A Whopper of a tax problem
Even the loss of the Whopper and fries won't budge Congress.
Burger King's $11 billion takeover of Canadian doughnut chain Tim Hortons, a deal that lets the burger behemoth drastically cut its U.S. tax rate by moving its headquarters to Canada, moved closer to fruition on Tuesday, following a chain of companies using an increasingly popular tax maneuver.
Story Continued Below
The move has been lighting up social media, with Burger King's Facebook page buzzing with customers calling for a boycott and blasting the company as a traitor, Democrats renewing calls to act immediately and Republicans calling it a symptom of the dysfunctional U.S. tax system.
But despite hand-wringing by lawmakers of both parties — and a shaming by President Barack Obama, who essentially accused the companies mulling the deals of lacking patriotism — prospects for any kind of intervention by Congress are still dim.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama says he'll act on inversions)
"The definition of fixing this is very different depending on if you're a Republican or a Democrat," said Ken Kies, who was chief of staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation in the 1990s. "The probability that there's actually going to be legislation that would actually get to president and he would actually sign, any reasonable person would have to say is near zero. Burger King won't change that."
The impotent Washington response to losing an iconic American fast food company over a tax issue is a reflection of just how dysfunctional Congress has become — and a stark illustration of how far apart the two parties are on tax reform. Simply put, many Democrats want to ban these so-called tax inversions, where companies flee U.S. taxes by taking headquarters overseas.
Republicans say the solution is cutting corporate taxes to make the U.S. more competitive. And not surprisingly, broad tax reform has gone nowhere.
"This is the business community saying we have zero confidence that the president will do anything on tax reform," said Grover Norquist, president of the conservative Americans for Tax Reform. "Every world-class company would be better off doing an inversion."
( Also on POLITICO: Burger King buying Tim Horton's)
The deal is being financed in part by Berkshire Hathaway, the multinational conglomerate owned by the famously pro-tax billionaire Warren Buffett. He led the public push for higher tax rates for the top earners in the 2012 fiscal cliff deal. His involvement in a deal that allows Burger King to skip out on billions in U.S. taxes drew fire from critics.
Political commentators from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough to Neil Cavuto at Fox News have criticized Buffett's choice to invest as hypocritical.
Buffett could not be reached for comment, but the White House stood by its position on Tuesday.
"Let's be very clear," a spokeswoman said in a statement. "The president believes that as a general matter, it is not right that some corporations are able to exploit a loophole in the tax code despite having the bulk of their operations in the U.S."
( Also on POLITICO: Record $17B BofA settlement struck)
The Treasury Department is still reviewing options to act on its own if Congress doesn't, the official said.
Current law allowing companies to shift their headquarters on paper and essentially renounce their U.S. citizenship highlights the need for a revamp of the entire tax code — on that lawmakers agree.
But the effort has floundered in the past year after top Senate tax writer Max Baucus (D-Mont.) retired, and the bid by his Republican counterpart, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, was shelved by Republican leaders.
Obama and Republicans actually share some common ground when it comes to corporate tax reform, but longstanding disagreements about individual tax rates — specifically taxing the rich — have hampered any progress.
( Also on POLITICO: McDonald's could be liable for labor practices)
The tax strategy used by Burger King — known as an inversion — lately has involved a company merging with a foreign rival or smaller competitor in a low-tax country like Ireland, the United Kingdom and now Canada. The move is completely legal — for now.
The company is the latest in a string of U.S. corporations, from Walgreens to Pfizer, looking to take advantage of foreign subsidiaries to avoid paying the high 35 percent U.S. corporate tax rate. Moving to Canada would mean Burger King will take advantage of its 15 percent corporate tax rate.
The Burger King move is unique among inversions, most of which have involved big companies scooping up smaller ones to get the foreign address. Burger King actually earns less revenue than Tim Hortons, and analysts said they see a strategic rationale for acquiring the doughnut company's operations.
No matter, the fact that it is a consumer brand name highlights the tax inversion issue.
Forty-seven U.S. companies have shifted headquarters abroad in the past 10 years at least, in part, to avoid paying U.S. taxes — a more than 60 percent jump compared to the prior two decades combined, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
Acknowledging that tax reform is a ways off, lawmakers of both parties say they want to do something in the near term — but lines in the sand make prospects of any deal dim.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has said he is working with some Republicans on his panel to craft a short-term fix, but the talks have yet to produce a bill and are moving slowly, with less than a month of time in session before the lawmakers leave again for the elections.
But principles laid out by Sen. Orrin Hatch, the top Republican on the Finance Committee, essentially rule out any of the legislative proposals that have been embraced by Democrats so far.

The Electric Field
What happens if instead of two particles we have three? For simplicity, let's just consider the resultant force on one of the three particles; say it has charge and the other particles have charges and , with displacement vectors and , respectively. The Coulomb law tells us that the first of the other particles exerts a force
while the second exerts a force
As usual, we just add the forces together to get the resultant
Of course, as we add more particles we just add more terms to the sum. But always we find that the force on the "test" particle with charge times some vector field: . Coulomb's law tells us that a single point of charge at the origin gives rise to a vector field whose value at the point with position vector is
That is, it's sort of like the radial vector field only instead of getting larger as we move away from the origin, it gets smaller, falling off as the square of the distance.
As we've just seen, the superposition principle for forces leads to a superposition principle for the electric field: the field generated by two or more sources is the (vector) sum of the fields generated by each source separately.

Iraqi and Kurdish forces launched a new offensive Sunday on a town near Mosul as part of a massive operation aimed at retaking the country's second largest city from the Islamic State group.
The Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, said they launched a dawn offensive on two fronts to the northeast of Mosul, near the town of Bashiqa.
Maj. Gen. Haider Fadhil, of Iraq's special forces, said they had also launched an assault on Bashiqa, surrounding it and seizing parts of the town. He said the Kurds had captured two villages near Bashiqa and a small Shiite shrine in the area.
Over the last week, Iraqi and Kurdish forces have been battling IS in a belt of mostly uninhabited towns and villages around Mosul, contending with roadside bombs, snipers and suicide truck bombs.
The Mosul offensive involves more than 25,000 Iraqi ground forces as well as U.S.-led coalition aircraft and advisers. It is expected to take weeks, if not months, to drive IS from Mosul, which is home to more than a million civilians.
Bashiqa is close to a military base of the same name where some 500 Turkish troops are training Sunni and Kurdish fighters for the Mosul offensive.
The presence of the Turkish troops has angered Iraq, which says it never gave them permission to enter the country and has called on them to withdraw. Turkey has refused the demand, insisting that it play a role in retaking Mosul from IS.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter has visited both countries in recent days, and arrived in the Kurdish regional capital Irbil on Sunday, where he was expected to discuss the issue with Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani.
After meeting with Turkey's leaders, Carter had announced an "agreement in principle" for Turkey to have a role in the operation.
But Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi appeared to bat that idea down when he met with Carter on Saturday, insisting that Mosul was an "Iraqi battle."
"I know that the Turks want to participate, we tell them thank you, this is something the Iraqis will handle and the Iraqis will liberate Mosul and the rest of the territories," he said.
The forces taking part in the Mosul offensive include Iraqi troops, the peshmerga, Sunni tribal fighters and state-sanctioned Shiite militias. Many fear the operation could heighten tensions between Iraq's different communities, which are allied against IS but divided over a host of other issues, including the fate of territories near mostly Sunni Mosul that are claimed by the largely autonomous Kurdish region and the central government.
The U.N. agency for children meanwhile expressed concern over the more than 4,000 people it says have fled from areas around Mosul since the operation began.
UNICEF's Iraq representative, Peter Hawkins, said that in at least one refugee camp the conditions for children were "very, very poor." He said UNICEF teams delivered water, sanitation and other supplies expected to last seven days.
They also provided immunizations against polio and measles, which he said had not been available during the more than two years that the people lived under IS rule. UNICEF has plans to assist more than 784,000 people, including up to 500,000 children.
Hawkins says children in and around Mosul are at risk of death or injury from the fighting, as well as sexual violence, kidnapping and recruitment by armed groups.

Well, West Coast's bonus may be slightly disproportionate, but it is hard to take unless you get a good drop on it, as it has lots of territories. Also it has disadvantages as well, there are no easy ways to expand out from it.
Granted, 4 might be a more fitting bonus for it, but 5 is not that much larger that it would imbalance the game.

T9® Text Input is the industry-leading text input solution for mobile devices worldwide. T9® stands for Text on 9 Keys. T9's predictive text application unlocks the power of numeric keypads, allowing users to enter text quickly and easily using "one key press per letter". This patented technology enables faster, simpler text entry across an array of mobile and consumer electronic devices. T9® is also adaptive for a highly personalised, interactive experience.
T9® is licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers. More than 4 billion handsets around the globe are equipped with our advanced T9® technology
T9® Text Input supports over 80 languages, including complex scripts such as Indic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. It is the leading choice for text entry on today's sophisticated mobile devices.
Chinese T9
Chinese T9 supports both Phrasal Pinyin and Stroke input methods.
Phrasal Pinyin or BoPoMoFo allows users to input a phrase by continuously entering Pinyin or BoPoMoFo for the phrases without selecting each character first. For example: for the phrase "北京", users can enter the key sequence for "Beijing" or "ㄅㄟㄐーㄥ" and then select "北京" from the selection list. This feature also supports the Jianpin (拼) feature that allows users to retrieve a phrase by entering the first pinyin letter of the first few characters. For example, the user would only need to type 'b' or 'bj' or 'bjd' or 'bjdx' to retrieve 北京大学.
Stroke Input
Stroke Input allows users to input a phrase by entering the full or first few strokes for each character in the phrase separated by a delimiter. For example: to enter the phrase "北京大学" (Beijing University), if "└┘" represents a delimiter, users can enter the full or partial stroke sequence 丨 or 丨└┘丶 or 丨└┘丶└┘一 or 丨└┘丶└┘一└┘丶 to retrieve "北京大学" from the selection list.
Mohu Pinyin
Mohu Pinyin provides support for regional variations in pronunciation or spelling by interchanging Mohu pinyin pairs. For example: enter "ZongGuo" to retrieve the phrase "中国" which has "ZhongGuo" as the correct Pinyin.
User Database (UDB) Phrasal
This feature allows users to add personal or commonly selected phrases which are not available in the phone database, such as names, personal addresses, etc. Users just need to add a phrase once and it will be added to their personal dictionary. Additionally, PTI will position this newly added phrase earlier in the selection list.
Modeless Input
This feature allows users to enter a message that includes both Chinese and English characters, numbers and symbols without switching modes. Say, for example, a user wants to enter the message "你好, 我是Mary 请回电123456789J", which is a combination of phrasal Pinyin, symbols (including emoticons), numbers and English characters. If the original input mode is Pinyin, the message can be completed in Pinyin mode with the following numeric key input: 64-1-97-6279-743-123456789-111.
Chinese Name Reordering
This feature reorders Chinese names so that they appear first in the selection list. This is useful when entering contacts in a contact management application.
T9 also allow users to input numbers, symbols, emoticons and English characters while in Chinese input mode without having to switch modes.
Japanese T9 supports the following additional features:
Fully integrated Kana/Kanji conversion engine:
JT9 integrates an intuitive Kana/Kanji character conversion engine to enable an enhanced text entry experience for users of predictive text input and multi-tap. As the user is typing, the engine simultaneously presents Kana and Kanji word choices, allowing the user to choose their desired characters more quickly.
Japanese T9 customised word choice list:
JT9 includes an enhanced Kana edit feature, which limits potential word choices to a smaller set of likely candidates. A Kana locking feature enables users to highlight the first few characters of a word and only see those words that begin with the specific Kana characters on a drop-down word choice list. This new functionality helps the user identify their intended word more quickly by displaying a customised word choice list.
Additional features for Indic languages include:
Character key mapping display:
By pressing just one key, the Indian T9® user will be shown a selection list of all the characters mapped to that particular key. This new feature can help the user learn and use Indian T9 Text Input more quickly and effectively, in part by assisting the user in memorising the keypad layout, enabling a faster SMS experience .
Stem locking:
Enables users to highlight the first few characters of a word and only see those words that begin with the specific set of characters. This new functionality helps the user identify the intended word more quickly by displaying a tailored word choice list.
Aggressive word completion:
By pressing just one key, all words of five or more characters will be displayed in a vertical choice list for user selection.
Get the Most from T9. Contact us. We'd like to hear from you Contact Us

There has been speculation about Chris Nolan's future with the DC Comics Movie Universe long before his Batman trilogy finale, The Dark Knight Rises, started taking shape. A few years back, Nolan and his Batman story writer David S. Goyer collaborated on the story and script for the Superman reboot Man of Steel, which Nolan was at one time rumored to direct. When that didn't pan out, it was then whispered that the Inception filmmaker could act as a shepherd for DC/Warner Bros. movie universe - even going so far as to direct the studio's long-stalled Justice League film.
However, Nolan is now hinting that after Dark Knight Rises, he will be done playing in the DC superhero sandbox.
As the acclaimed writer/director/producer said when asked if he has plans to step in and handle Justice League:
"No, none at all... We're finished with all we're doing with Batman. This is the end of our take on this character."
With news that DC/WB is working on the script for a new Justice Leauge movie (as opposed to the defunct version that almost came to be back in the late 2000s), it's clear that DC superheroes are going to be put to use in shared universe fashion. Nolan firmly re-iterating that his take on Batman will end with Dark Knight Rises would suggest that he is indeed stepping away from the Justice League project, and the DC Movie Universe (DCMU) as a whole.
We know that DC/WB is debating internally whether to reboot characters like Batman and Green Lantern, who have already had autonomous cinematic outings (to contrasting degrees of success), while Man of Steel would serve as the official beginning to the DCMU. Nolan's quote suggests that at least the Dark Knight will be getting a reboot to better fit in a shared universe - or (if the studio is (foolish? Brave?) enough, they would takeover use of the Nolan Batman without the director's input (that is, IF the character survives Dark Knight Rises).
However, it would be presumptuous to call this matter closed. For one thing, Chris Nolan's creative partners on the Batman trilogy - David S. Goyer and brother Jonathan Nolan - are still on hand to help shape the DCMU in similar fashion to what they did with Batman - and it's even been previously hinted that Chris could use some of his clout to get Jonathan into a director's chair on some DC/WB project. That would keep the "Nolan influence" alive and well within the DCMU.
Furthermore, there is still the pivotal factor of Man of Steel: Internet bloggers have speculated for months now that if the Superman reboot is a success at the box office (and with fans), then players like MoS director Zack Snyder will be tapped to build a larger DCMU - as Marvel has done with Avengers writer/director Joss Whedon. However, if Man of Steel isn't welcomed as warmly as the studio hopes, I don't think any of us would be surprised to see Warner Bros. driving truckloads of cash up to Chris Nolan's doorstep, asking for continued guidance in building their superhero world. With Batman already a billion-dollar box office draw (and huge profits on the horizon for Dark Knight Rises), it would be doubtful that DC/WB would let their power player go at a time they need him most - not without a hefty bribe, at least.
Of course, with Nolan able to make big money off of his own original work (see: Inception), there's no real leverage for the enigmatic filmmaker to do anything else besides what he bloody well wants to - and there plenty of studios who would be willing to give him a home.
The Dark Knight Rises in theaters on July 20, 2012. We'll keep you updated on all other DC movie news.

This evaluation assessed the quality and results of the WFP private-sector partnership and fundraising strategy, how results were achieved, and how WFP's approach could be improved. It was conducted by an independent evaluation team from February to June 2012. Good progress was being made, but full achievement of all the targets set by the strategy would require steady and continuous increases in the amounts of overall private resources and multilateral cash raised.
Six recommendations were made: develop distinct strategies for partnership and fundraising; pursue greater balance among different types of private sources; implement an integrated planning process for private-sector partnerships and fundraising; integrate private-resource mobilization into WFP's overall budget rather than funding it primarily from the management fee; change the reporting lines of the Private Partnerships Branch; and revise WFP's due diligence process.

Spread of Freedom Most Valuable Weapon Against Terrorism, Official Says
By Steven Donald Smith
American Forces Press Service
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 18, 2006 - As during the Cold War, the spread of freedom remains America's most valuable tool in combating the nation's enemies, a senior Defense Department official said here yesterday.
"The power of freedom brought down the Berlin Wall in 1989, and it brought millions to the voting booth in Iraq and Afghanistan," Christopher "Ryan" Henry, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library here.
President Reagan, like President George W. Bush, presided over an era when the stakes were high for U.S. national security, Henry said. "Nuclear armed global superpowers were locked in a tense standoff, and a major part of the world's population was effectively imprisoned behind an iron curtain," he said.
The Soviet Union may be a thing of the past, but the U.S. now faces an ever-more-nefarious and -elusive enemy in the form of terrorist networks and rogue states. "Today, America and our friends and allies face a broader array of potential adversaries than ever before," he said.
He pointed to rogue states, such as Iran and North Korea, as posing a grave danger to the United States, but said transnational terror networks, like al Qaeda, offer the most pressing threat.
"The most concerning (problem) is something we refer to as 'cultural totalitarianism' -- the threat from terrorist extremists who are determined to destroy our very way of life," he said, "even, if it's achievable for them, the fall of Western civilization."
This is a different type of adversary than the U.S. has ever faced before and, because of the availability of weapons of mass destruction, possibly the most dangerous, he said.
It is difficult to counter an enemy that targets innocent civilians while using their own civilian population as human shields, he said. "This adversary is ruthless and has no qualms about blowing up civilian airliners," he said. "They would kill 3 million just as easily as they killed 3,000 five years ago on Sept. 11, 2001."
Henry said these extremists are a patient bunch. "They view their struggle as an epic confrontation that spans millennia, not just years," he said.
Terrorist networks are technologically savvy, using technology to communicate, recruit and transfer money, he said.
The threat may have changed since Reagan's day, but several basic principles remain the same, such as the need for broad coalitions, national unity and a strong military, he said. "A military that is ready and capable for the task that the nation may give it," he said. "Our brave men and women in uniform are the best in the world."
Another principle that transcends eras is the need to adjust course when necessary, Henry said. When Reagan saw a shift in Soviet attitudes under Mikhail Gorbachev, he exploited the opportunity to gain leverage through new technology and diplomacy. President Bush and the Defense Department are doing the same by learning valuable lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan. "We are transforming the way we operate, the way we do business, and the way we work with others," he said.
Henry concluded his remarks by returning to the principle of freedom, which he said is a privilege that must be vigilantly guarded.
"President Reagan said, 'Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.' We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream, it must fought for, it must be protected, and it must be handed on to them to do the same," Henry said.

At First Anniversary, ObamaCare on the Run
One year ago today, President Barack Obama signed ObamaCare into law. I recap ObamaCare's first year in my latest Kaiser Health News column. Here's some additional news surrounding the law's anniversary.
Politico reports that supporters won't have the vast war chest to defend the law that they once said they would:
Democrats are under siege as they mark the first anniversary of health care reform Wednesday — and they won't get much help from the star-studded, $125 million support group they were once promised...[N]ine months later, the Health Information Campaign has all but disappeared. Its website hasn't been updated since the end of last year. Its executive director and communications director are gone. There's no sign that it has any money. And neither [former senator Tom] Daschle nor [former White House Communications Director Anita] Dunn will return calls asking about it.
Politico also reports on what everyone knows, but few reporters seem willing to say. ObamaCare is unpopular, and growing more so:
Although Democrats insisted that the [law] would become more popular once the congressional debate ended and the benefits started to kick in, the reverse has actually happened. According to a Kaiser Health Tracking poll released Friday, 46 percent of the public opposes the law, up from 40 percent a year ago. Only 42 percent support the law, down from 46 percent a year ago.
Finally, Politico (again) reports that yet another governor -- Louisiana's Bobby Jindal (R) -- has refused to implement ObamaCare:
The Louisiana governor's office gave PULSE the first definitive answer on whether it would run its own health exchange, and it took them only two letters: no. "Obamacare is a terrible policy that needs to be repealed and replaced," Gov. Bobby Jindal's press secretary Kyle Plotkin tells PULSE. "It creates enormous new costs and future unfunded liabilities for states financing their Medicaid programs." That puts him in a similar camp with Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who recently told us that Florida is "not doing anything with regards to the exchange, I don't believe in the exchange. It doesn't do anything to improve access to care. It does nothing to drive down health care costs."
It's worth emphasizing that Scott and Jindal probably know more about health care than the other 48 governors.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler invites the public to the dedication of Lincoln's Liberty Tree Memorial at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 8 in Antelope Park near the Liberty Bell Pavilion west of the Auld Recreation Center. Lincoln recently received a ceremonial 15-foot disease-resistant American Liberty Elm made possible through a grant by the Elm Research Institute (ERI). The memorial includes a bronze plaque telling the story of the Liberty Tree.
ERI, a non-profit organization based in New Hampshire, is the sponsor and promoter of the Liberty Tree Memorials project. It's based on Boston's famous Liberty Tree planted in 1646. By the time of the Revolution, the tree was 100 feet tall and served as a rallying location for protests against British rule. In an act of revenge, the British troops cut down the Liberty Tree in August 1775. At the time, General Lafayette said, "The world should never forget the spot where once stood the Liberty Tree, so famous in your annals."
Lincoln is one of 408 Liberty Tree Memorial sites. To qualify for a memorial, a city must establish it in a prominent location and hold a public event that includes the reading of Thomas Paine's poem "Liberty Tree."
ERI was founded in 1967 with the purpose of saving the American elm from extinction. ERI sponsored genetic research that resulted in the 1984 introduction of the American Liberty Elm, a purebred descendant of disease-resistant American elms. More than 300,000 American Liberty Elms have been planted at prominent locations throughout the country including the U.S. Capitol Building and the Independence Hall and Liberty Bell Center in Philadelphia.
More information is available at elmresearch.org.

It's been on the decline, but 'tis the season for a return to work
The volume of spam measured by Symantec for its most recent monthly report shows a continuing decrease over the past several months. Global spam was down in October by 22.5 percent from September, and down 47 percent from August.
This is due in part to the shutdown of several spam operations, but it also reflects an overall reduction in the volume e-mail measured by the company. The total number of messages observed by the company dropped from about 230 billion on the first of August to 100 billion at the end of October. Still, the percentage of spam in October was 86.6 percent, which Symantec said was the lowest since September 2009.
Before you write spam's obit, however, remember that the holiday season is upon us, and Symantec says they are coming early.

"Though consumers may be keeping a conservative hold on their wallets, spammers have already started their holiday spam campaign blitz," the report says. "Symantec has observed a variety of spam using the holiday angle including: replica, online pharmacy and even the 419-type Nigerian scam. With the holidays just around the corner, we expect spammers to pick up the volume of holiday spam."
The United States is a leading producer of unwanted e-mail, accounting for 27 percent of spam, 50 percent of phishing lures and 50 percent of phishing hosts.
