Well, there really is no need for CGAux air if CAP is doing its job.
QuoteWell, there really is no need for CGAux air if CAP is doing its job. Well, I've advocated on the CG Aux board that CG Aux Air should be merged into CAP. There is no sense maintaining two separate national volunteer aviation organizations. But to be fair, especially along the coast the private airplanes they are using are more appropriate than CAP aircraft for extended overwater use.

text: This topic pops up every now and then, but I can't seem to help myself from asking. I've been thinking about getting an usuba recently. I am left-handed, so finding one I can borrow locally has been challenging. The only single bevel knife I own is a deba, and it's used so completely differently from an usuba I assume there is no comparison. Usuba has its own cuts one must master to use it properly. My main cutting technique with a gyuto for veg is almost entirely a push cut, edge parallel to the board. I do not think I twist or put any undue strain on the edge, but I've not used something as delicate as an usubua yet. How difficult would it be to translate my current edge-parallel push cutting for basic vegetable dicing etc into using an usuba? Am I crazy for thinking it won't be years of frustration? Is it pointless to use an usuba for non-Japanese style meals?

This is Me
I think I may have finally learned the meaning of lonliness.
It's such an empty feeling...There is nothing to grasp a hold to.
Many nights I sit at the dinner table or lay in bed and I wonder
where my husband is. Is he safe? Am I going to hear his voice
I cry out of pure desperation. Sometimes I cry and its for so
many reasons that I can't name simply one. Everything is done
alone...waking up in the morning...dance recitals...school
functions...grocery shopping...movies...walks in the park and
strolls on the beach. Each day is spent alone and I long for
darkness to fall. Darkness means I'm ending yet another lonely
day and I'm closer to being in his arms.
Married to a ghost? Sometimes that feeling can take over and
I feel overwhelmed. I look at my children and know that I must
stay strong for them. Lord only knows, they want Daddy home
as much as I do.
How can one describe lonliness and emptiness? How can one
put into words how it feels to have your heart ripped out time and
time again for weeks and months at a time? One can't...There
are no words.
But, I push on and stay strong for my man and my children. Even
through my tears, I never waiver from my job as the backbone and
reassurer. I never forget that he's in my heart even when he's not
in our home.
This is me...I'm the wife of a Sailor.

July 17, 2013, MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (ISN) – Canada will make its historic debut in the six-country FIVB World League Final men's volleyball tournament on Thursday against Russia, the Olympic champions.
The Canadians reached the final by placing first in group C during the preliminary round with a record of eight wins and two losses and they enter the Final riding a six-match winning streak. In the prelims Canada split two-match series with the Netherlands in Quebec City and Portugal in Mississauga before sweeping South Korea, again in Mississauga, as well as Finland and Japan overseas.
"Of course, we're ecstatic about being here," said Canada's head coach Glenn Hoag. "We have a young team and this is our first year in the building towards the Rio Olympics and the guys are getting a great experience. The hard work continues as we play some of the top teams in the world.
In the Final, Canada is in a poweful group with the Russians and world number-one Brazil. The other group is comprised of world number-three Italy, Bulgaria (#8) and Argentina (#9).
The Russians ranked second in Group B in the preliminary round although they tied with Italy with seven wins and three losses for 19 points. Brazil, seeking a 10th world League title, ran away with Group A posting a 9-1 record for 25 points,
"We know we are going to have two very tough matches," said Brazil's head coach Bernardo Rezende. "Canada has done a great job this year to be here."
The tournament opens Wednesday with a rematch of the Olympic final between Russia and Brazil.
Sportsnet will carry both of Team Canada's round robin matches live as well as the semis and championship match. Here is the broadcast schedule. All matches will also be streamed on FIVB WEB TV http://www.laola1.tv/en/int/fivb-live/video/203-1922-.html

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Seven Women Abused by Co-Workers, Federal Agency Charged
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Georgetown, Ky., restaurant will pay $60,000 and furnish other relief to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, seven female employees at the Golden Corral Buffet & Grill were sexually harassed by male co-workers who verbally abused the women and rubbed against them. The company (Golden Ranch, Inc.) did nothing to stop or prevent the abuse, the EEOC said.
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in the Eastern District of Kentucky at Lexington, Civil Action No. 5:08-cv-00239-JBC, after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement.
Golden Ranch agreed to a three-year consent decree in which it will pay a total of $60,000 to the seven harassment victims. The company also agreed to establish policies and procedures that prohibit sexual harassment in the workplace. It also agreed to train all employees and managers on the laws prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace and to provide status reports to the EEOC concerning its training of its employees throughout the decree's duration.
"While it should be clear by now to all employers that sexual harassment will not be tolerated, some employers continue to ignore the law," said Laurie Young, regional attorney for the EEOC's Indianapolis District Office. "Employers should be on notice that the EEOC will act aggressively to protect employees from this kind of abuse in the workplace."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Bart Preneel, imec-COSIC KU Leuven, Belgium
Rule #1 of cryptanalysis: search for plaintext first :-)
With the Snowden documents, we learned that the NSA is foiling much of the deployed encryption - using super computers, turnkeys, backdoors, etc.
If you can't get the plain text - try just asking for the key, then you can do the decryption. About 300,000 NSA letters for keys have been issued since 2001. Most come with gag orders, so it's difficult to get this information.
Yahoo fought the security letter they received. Others, like Silent Circle and Lavabit just shut down.
So, think about PFS - if someone gets one of your keys, can they get your older data as well? You can replace RSA with DH for perfect forward secrecy. logjam, though, was able to subvert the system by downgrading the negotiation and then read your data.
If you can't get the private key, try substituting the public key (because you have the private key for your public key!) The most recent attack in this area was fake SSL certificates or SSL person-in-th-middle attacks.
this brought about "Let's Encrypt" that has been live since 2015.
If you can't get the key, try cryptovirology (book by Young and Yung).
Or, how about a trapdoor in your PRNG (Dual EC DRBG, in Juno's ScreenOS).
What other technology might be similarly subverted?
If you can't undermine the encryption, how about attacking the end systems?
Hardware hacking: intercepted packages are opened carfully and a "load station" implants a beacon. If you don't want your routers to come with "extra bits", you might want to pick them up from the manufacturer (pictures shown of this happening to Cisco routers).
There is a chip that can be installed between monitor and keyboard, can be powered up remotely by radar and then the remote attacker can read what's on your screen.
Maybe we need offense over defense? How many 0-days do our governments have? Are they revealed to vendors? If so, when? NSA claims that they have released more than 90% of the 0-days to vendors, but didn't say anything about how long they hold onto the attacks before doing the notification.
another good way to fight encryption - complicated standards! Does anyone really fully understand IPsec, for example. Backdoors are another way, but we should be able to see from DUAL_EC_DRBG where the backdoor was backdoored....
There are 18Billion encrypted deployed devices to protect industry - not you. Like DRM to control content.
There are 14B encryption devises to protect users, but there are issues. Look at encryption on phones - it's not end to end, so still issues. Consumers might have "encrypted harddrives", but without key management, the hard drive can just be pulled out and put into another machine and read.
There are issues with many messaging services - they back up your messages in the clear in the cloud.
Secure channels are still a challenge with lack of forward secrecy, denial of service, lack of secure routing, and lack of control over meta data (which is still data!) TOR hides your IP address, but not your location, so it is limited.
when doing design, avoid a single point of trust that becomes a single point of failure. stop collecting massive amounts of data.
distributed systems work: Root keys of some CAs, Skype (pre-2011) and bitcoin.
We need new ways to detect fraud and abuse. We need open source solutions, open standards, effective governance and transparency for service providers. And finally, deploy more advanced crypto.

Ziggy's Eatery
Carlisle Street is on the up and up. At one time all it had going for it was one or two cafes and a really decent watering hole. Now, even Grill'd have set up shop in Balaclava. But, you can't call Ziggy's Eatery a late bloomer. This mom and pop store has been there for many years before the boom. These days though, they've had a refurb, made some noise on social media and have expanded from their wraps, sandwiches and salads, and are quite proud of their burger list. There's a burger for everyone in there ranging from the extreme high protein, double Recovery burger to a pork belly or a vege option. It's a little store that gets quite busy, so if you're lucky enough to not live too far away and don't feel like stepping out the house, simply order online and get it delivered. I decided to go in store and check out their simple Cheeseburger. It came out on a brioche bun with a a 150g beef patty, home made smoked cheese sauce, bacon, tomato & Spanish onion.

Microsoft announces H.264 support for Google's ChromeIn an effort to resolve "uncertainty around video on the web" using HTML5, Microsoft has announced a new plugin for Google's Chrome browser that adds back support for H.264 video playback, blunting Google's attempt to gain traction for WebM.
The announcement ratchets up the war of words between the two companies, following a complaint from Google earlier this week that Microsoft's Bing search engine was appropriating its search results to improve its own.
By adding H.264 video playback back for Windows Chrome users, Microsoft's Dean Hachamovitch, the head of Internet Explorer development, said his company hopes to bypass a series of significant issues raised by Google's WebM strategy, related to intellectual property liability and risk, the open development of web standards, and simple video playback consistency.
Google itself announced plans to promote WebM via web plugins for Internet Explorer and Apple's Safari browser two weeks ago, making Microsoft's alternative proposal a straightforward neutralization of Google's strategy.
HTML5 Video Wars
Microsoft and Google, along with Apple, Mozilla and Opera, have been working for years to address the issue of how best to deliver video on the web. The newly emerging HTML5 specification enables publishers to simplify web audio and video embedding using media tags that hand raw multimedia content to the browser for playback (just like JPEG or PNG graphics files), rather than relying on a separate plugin architecture such as Apple's QuickTime or Adobe Flash to handle multimedia.
Commercial software vendors, including Microsoft and Apple, favor using the International Standards Organization's MPEG H.264 video codec, a mature and sophisticated specification developed by the technology community and offering consistent playback across the web, PC desktop and mobile devices because it is well supported by existing hardware. Other MPEG stakeholders, from Nokia to Sony (and realistically, every hardware maker), also favor H.264.
However, free software enthusiasts, principally Mozilla and Opera, have been pushing the case for Ogg Theora, a rival codec that is distributed by an organization that (unlike MPEG) does not charge royalties for its use. Ogg Theora isn't nearly as mature or as sophisticated, resulting in far less efficient distribution and a very limited use scenario only appropriate for low quality web videos.
Until last year, the situation appeared to be resolving itself as the market picked H.264 as the de facto standard for delivering HTML5 video. But last summer, Google threw fuel on the embers of the debate by acquiring the original developer of the proprietary codec that became Ogg Theora and releasing its newer sibling codec (VP6, rebranded by Google as WebM) as a new royalty free alternative to H.264.
While enthusiastically embraced by Mozilla, Opera and Wikipedia, most commercial vendors demonstrated no interest in switching to or even adding support for WebM in their HTML5 video distribution plans. Three weeks ago, Google announced plans to remove H.264 video playback from Chrome in an effort to push WebM to gain traction, again inflaming the situation and casting doubt on the prospects for the future of HTML5 video entirely.
Without consistent support for HTML5 video using a codec that every browser can play, video producers appeared forced back to supporting Adobe Flash for H.264 video distribution rather than using HTML5 at all, defeating a cornerstone feature of HTML5: its plugin-free support for integrated media playback. As critics pointed out, this would have no impact on whether H.264 were actually generating royalties, but only really impede the adoption of HTML5 over Flash as the vehicle for video on the web.

Sometimes senators need a diversion from even the weightiest of topics. For Sen. John McCain during Tuesday's hearing on Syria, it was a game on his iPhone.
The Washington Post posted a picture taken during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing and reported that it shows the Arizona Republican playing poker on his phone. Only his hands and iPhone were visible.
Shortly afterward, McCain came clean in a sarcastic tweet posted on his Twitter account that began with the word, "Scandal!"
U.S. & World
McCain wrote that he'd been caught playing on his phone during a hearing that, he quickly pointed out, exceeded three hours.
The senator added, "Worst of all, I lost!"

Meals made with homegrown herbs, vegetables and fruits are more flavorful and nutritious than those using store-bought produce because you harvest the produce at its peak and it doesn't need to travel far to get to the table. By growing your own herbs, vegetables and fruits organically, you can also be confident that no chemicals or pesticides have been added to your food.
An edible garden doesn't need to be large to produce plenty of nourishing ingredients for your table. Start small with a few basics, and as the fruits or vegetables begin to thrive, you can use what you learn to make changes and additions to your plot.
Choose a spot close to the kitchen if possible, especially for growing herbs, so you can easily snip and harvest for cooking. If there is no nearby space for a ground plot or raised beds, containers set on a patio or deck are a good option. Herbs and some small plants can also be grown in pots on a sunny windowsill.
If you're planting your first edible garden, it's best to start small. Once you begin to water, weed and harvest your plants, you'll have a better sense of what size garden will be optimal for your culinary interests and lifestyle.
For a one-sided garden, aim for a planting area with a depth of about three feet, which is the average adult reach. This will allow you to tend your plants and pick fruits and vegetables without stepping on the soil.
The length of your garden will depend on available space and preference, but if you have adequate room, consider a two-sided garden plot with a four-to-six-foot expanse. Using a plant-a-gram will help you maximize a small space and anticipate your harvest.
Almost all herbs, vegetables and fruits require significant sunlight to flourish. To determine the best location for your garden, note the position of the sun as it moves over your yard during the day. Select a spot that receives a minimum of four hours of direct midday sun. A spot near a wall that reflects sunlight or holds heat can also be helpful. Pay attention to shadows from buildings and large trees and to how the light changes from season to season.
In general, herbs and plants that produce edible fruit (basil, tomatoes, peppers, blueberries) need maximum light, while vegetables with edible leaves (lettuce, spinach, chard and other leafy greens) do better with less sunlight; some can even handle partial shade.
Take note of how water runs through the property and where it settles. For optimum plant health and productivity, choose a level spot that allows the water to drain from the soil naturally and avoid locations in which water pools after a rain. If drainage is not ideal in your yard, a raised bed is a smart solution.
To ensure a bountiful harvest, almost all soil requires amending to increase its organic makeup and provide roots with oxygen and nutrients. In heavy, compacted soil, water runs off without soaking in and plants spread out shallowly rather than growing down deep. Supplement such soil with an organic growing mix and incorporate it well for aeration.
Mixing compost into the soil helps achieve the optimum pH levels for nutrient production and primes it with beneficial microorganisms. Home- made compost, if you have it, is ideal for an edible garden, but commercial amendments also work well.
For ease in caring for your garden, position it near a faucet attached to a short length of food-grade hose. Installing a drip-irrigation system is an effective water and time-saving option that doesn't require a large investment. Rain barrels offer an eco-friendly watering option and can be placed close to a garden as a supplemental water supply.
Morning is the best time to water plants so they begin the day well hydrated. Gardens always benefit from a rain shower, but when you are watering, avoid wetting the foliage. Instead, apply the water directly to the soil. A thorough soaking will reach the roots deep in the ground, helping plants tolerate high temperatures and other environmental challenges.
Starting with a few vegetables and herbs will help you focus your efforts and give you confidence as your garden grows. When planning your edible garden, take into consideration which herbs, vegetables and fruits you buy regularly and enjoy cooking. You might grow them yourself instead. It can also be fun to choose a few unfamiliar ones to experiment with.
Consider which plants are both appropriate for the size of your garden and your hardiness zone. With a bit of planning, sowing your own seeds is a fun and cost-effective way of introducing a wide variety of foods in your edible garden. Alternatively, planting young, already established plants can save time and ensure that you don't miss out on any growing seasons.

This one-legged wonder featured in the photo above is 8-year-old Adam Bender, who has one leg (obviously) and, apparently, may still have a higher OPS than Richie Sexson will this year.
Losing his leg as a one-year-old to cancer, Bender's pretty much lived a normal life and plays baseball, soccer and football. He's a catcher on his baseball team, resting on his one good knee and then, as this photographic evidence proves, stands up at the plate, hits the ball, and hops down to first as quickly as possible.
At first, his parents were skeptical about his athletic desire and considered the consequences of letting their son participate in these activities. But, of course, his mom just shoved him out into the two-legged world, hoping to inject her son with a little mental toughness and character:
I thought his spirit might be crushed if he got out every time. Then I thought, who am I to micromanage his feelings? He's going to have to learn how to deal with this stuff.
Make sure you watch the video on the sidebar of the link, where you see Adam get a hit, slide into second, and get involved in a collision at home plate.

The teams traded trips up and down the field in the opening minutes of the game before Brandeis finally broke through. The play started with a tremendous clearance by sophomore back Robbie Lynch (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth), who sent the ball to the middle of the field. Classmate Tyler Savonen (Orleans, Mass./Nauset Regional) ran onto the ball in space, dribbled into the box and slid it under CMU junior Christopher Madden (Reiserstown, Md./Calvert Hall) into the right netting. The goal was Savonen's sixth of the season.
Much of the next 20 minutes or so was played in the midfield, with only three more shots taken before CMU scored the equalizer in the 39th minute. Junior back Cole Christensen (Castle Rock, Colo./Rock Canyon) sent a cross from the left side of the field through to senior midfielder John Crawshaw (Carnegie, Pa./Carlynton). Crawshaw played it back through the box to junior Chris Wysocki (Newtown, Pa./Germantown Acad.), who knocked it past Brandeis senior Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) and into the right netting. The goal was Wysocki's third of the season.
The Tartans scored the game-winning goal just 2:17 later. Junior forward Max Tassano (Bala Cynwyd, Pa./Lower Merion) notched his fourth game-winner of the season when his blast from 20 yards out went through a screen and was deflected of a couple of defenders past a diving Minchoff. It was Tassano's 11th goal of the season to lead the team and into a tie for third in the UAA. CMU took the one-goal lead into the half with a 5-4 shooting advantage.
Brandeis controlled play in the second half, outshooting the visitors by a 6-2 margin. Minchoff preserved the one-goal deficit in the 57th minute when he knocked a shot by Wysocky over the crossbar after a nice cross by Scott Gerfen (Betheda, Md./Walt Whitman). Madden's stiffest test came in the 64th minute, when he pulled a similar trick on Brandeis's Kyle Feather (Pinebrook, N.J./Montville Regional). Brandeis senior Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) had the Judges' best two attempts in the late going, but his attempt on an odd-man break in the 77th minute hit the outside right netting, while Madden came up with a save in the 89th minute to hang on for the win.
Minchoff finished with two saves for Brandeis in his final regular-season home game, while Madden earned the win with three stops.
In addition to Minchoff and Russo, this was the final regular-season home contest for senior Joe Eisenbies (Hingham, Mass./Hingham). Another senior on the squad, midfielder Sam Ocel (No. Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) is expected to return next season after a medical hardship waiver after missing his sophomore campaign to injury.
Brandeis wraps up its regular season next weekend at rival NYU in a 1:30 contest on Saturday.

BECTA on the offensive
Strong stuff from the new BECTA chair. In a blistering analysis on the wasted spend in schools, the new Chair of BECTA, Andrew Pinder, blamed the teaching profession as being the block on progress.
Schools a cottage industry
Every other area of human endeavour seems to have been made more efficient and effective through technology, yet education and training seem to be fossilised. Few teachers and trainers are using technology usefully, most of them hobbiests and enthusiasts. The reason? According to Pinder, education doesn't see itself as an INDUSTRY. It has lots of technology but few who know how to apply sensible business models. The system is stuck in a mode where the teacher in a classroom of 30 students is the primary delivery method. Teaching, in this sense is still a cottage industry, and as a cottage inustry, with power in the hands of individuals, progress has been impossible.
Profession is the problem
In the outside world, where technology has forced institutional reorganisation above that of the individual, we have seen massive increases in productivity. In schools, where power and budget is in the hands of the teaching 'profession' we have seen little progress. He sees the 'profession' as the problem. Professionals want control as individuals, want to do their own thing, and often refuse to be organised, or reorganised.
Schools, in his opinion, are organised in the wrong way. They need institutional reform, not management by individuals. One must separate the institution from its staff. In education the workers are in control and run the system for their benefit. They can't go out of business, are massively funded and supported by the state and have therefore have no reason to reform themselves. Reform must come from the outside.
Irrelevant research
He was also scathing about 'irrelevant research'. He has a point, as we seem to have lost our way here, with almost all useful research is now stateside.
Whiteboards - trivial
On whiteboardsm his views are clear - a minor if not marginal initiative that just reinforced the old 'teacher in front of a class' model. It is, effectively, and expensive enhancement of the Victorian blackboard (introduced around 1870!).
This looks like a good appointment. This guy has seen it from both sides, as a private and public sector manager. He's full of bold ideas and not scared to go on the offensive when he encounters 'professional' hubris.

Pro-Russian leaders in Crimea made final preparations on Saturday for a referendum widely expected to transfer control of the Black Sea region from Ukraine to Moscow, despite an outcry and threat of sanctions from the West.
Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that declared the referendum invalid, as Ukraine's defense ministry said it scrambled aircraft and paratroops to confront a Russian encroachment beyond Crimea's regional boundary.
Ukraine's new rulers accused "Kremlin agents" of fomenting deadly violence in the Russian-speaking east and urged people not to respond to provocations Kiev fears Moscow may use to justify further incursions its takeover of Crimea. Russia issued a new statement saying it was ready to protect Ukrainians from nationalist militants it said were threatening eastern cities.
Sunday's vote in Crimea, dismissed by Kiev and Western governments as illegal, has triggered the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War and marks a new peak in turmoil in Ukraine that goes back to November when now ousted President Viktor Yanukovich walked out on a trade deal with the European Union.
Though the situation was calm on the Black Sea peninsula itself on Saturday ahead of the vote, tensions remained high in eastern Ukraine where two people were killed in Kharkiv late on Friday.
Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksyonov, whose election in a closed session of the regional parliament is not recognized by Kiev, said there were enough security personnel to ensure the poll would be safe.
"I think we have enough people - more than 10,000 in the self-defense forces, more than 5,000 in different units of the Interior Ministry and the security services of the Crimean Republic," he told reporters.
In Kiev, the Ukrainian parliament voted to dissolve the Crimean regional assembly which has organized the referendum and backs union with Russia.
And on Kiev's Independence Square or Maidan - lodestar of the revolt against the Moscow-backed Yanukovich - hundreds of people chanted "Crimea is Ukraine! Crimeans, we support you!"
One Ukrainian nationalist leader in the Kiev legislature said the Crimean assembly must be sanctioned to discourage separatist movements in the mainly Russian-speaking east.
Aksyonov and Moscow do not officially recognize that Russian troops have taken control of Crimea, and say that thousands of unidentified armed men visible across the region belong to "self-defense" groups created to ensure stability.
But the Russian military has done little to hide the arrival of thousands of soldiers, along with trucks, armored vehicles and artillery. Masked gunmen surrounding Ukrainian military bases in Crimea have identified themselves as Russian troops.
Moscow leases the Crimean port of Sevastopol from Kiev to station its Black Sea Fleet. Under the deal it can station up to 25,000 troops there but there movements are restricted onshore.
Polling stations will open at 8 a.m. (0600 GMT) on Sunday and close 12 hours later. Preliminary results are expected within hours of polls closing on Sunday night.
Crimea's electorate of 1.5 million, according to a format of the ballot paper issued last week, will choose between one of two options - but both imply Russian control of the peninsula.
Many of the ethnic Russians who have a majority on the peninsula seem likely to back the first option on the ballot, union with Russia, if only for economic reasons. A second option is independence, initially within Ukraine, that Crimea's new leaders say they will use as a basis for accepting Russian rule.
Ethnic Tatars, Sunni Muslims of Turkic origin who make up 12 percent of Crimea's population, have said they will boycott the referendum, despite promises by the authorities to give them financial aid and proper land rights.
Acting Ukrainian president Oleksander Turchinov referred to three deaths in two days in two eastern cities - Donetsk and Kharkiv - and said there was "a real danger" of invasion by Russian troops across Ukraine's eastern border.
Populations of both cities have large numbers of Russian- speakers, significant since Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed to protect ethnic Russians and Russian-speakers in Ukraine. His foreign ministry said on Saturday it would consider requests from people in Ukraine for protection - similar language to that used to justify Moscow's move in Crimea.
Addressing members of Yanukovich's party, Turchinov said: "You know as well as we do who is organizing mass protests in eastern Ukraine - it is Kremlin agents who are organizing and funding them, who are causing people to be murdered."
Two men, described by police as pro-Russian demonstrators, were shot dead in a fight in Kharkiv late on Friday. A Ukrainian nationalist was stabbed to death when pro-Russia and pro-Ukraine demonstrators clashed in Donetsk on Thursday.
Turchinov, quoted by local media, closed the parliamentary session by saying: "The situation is very dangerous. I'm not exaggerating. There is a real danger from threats of invasion of Ukrainian territory and we will reconvene on Monday at 10."
Russia has refused to recognize the new Western-backed interim administration in Kiev. Its foreign ministry unnerved the new authorities in Kiev by saying clashes in Donetsk showed Ukrainians had lost control of the situation there.
Ukraine's interior minister accused ousted president Viktor Yanukovich of promoting unrest with "extremist Russian forces". Arsen Avakov issued an appeal on Facebook: "Don't let them manipulate you! Stop this hysteria ... This isn't a game of toy soldiers - this is a real conflict and people's real lives."
Two men, aged 21 and 30, were killed in Kharkiv by buckshot late on Friday when pro-Russian demonstrators besieged an office of the far-right Ukrainian nationalist group Right Sector, which rose to prominence fighting riot police in Kiev over the winter.
Police said 32 Right Sector activists and six pro-Russian demonstrators were detained and a number of weapons seized.
Kharkiv governor Ihor Baluta, newly appointed by the interim authorities in Kiev, said the "well-planned provocation by pro-Russian activists" began when unidentified men in a minibus provoked a confrontation with pro-Russia demonstrators and then drove off. When pursuing demonstrators caught up with the vehicle, it was parked outside the nationalists' building.
Most Read
The Right Sector spokesman, quoted by Interfax-Ukraine news agency, said his group had taken no part in the initial clash and believed the minibus was left outside its office by others.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said it had information that armed Right Sector militants were opening an "eastern front" and planning to reinforce their activists in eastern cities.
Western powers, preparing economic sanctions against Russia over Crimea, largely dismiss Russia's characterization of the new authorities in Kiev as the successors of Nazi-allied Ukrainian forces which fought the Red Army in World War Two.
Authorities in Kharkiv banned political gatherings that were planned in the city over the weekend. In Donetsk, hundreds of people rallied in Lenin Square, flying Russian flags and calling for a referendum in the region similar to that in Crimea.
In Moscow, a large crowd estimated by witnesses at some 30,000 demonstrated against Russia's action in Ukraine, the biggest protest against Putin in two years. At a smaller rally, people chanted "Crimea is Russia!" and "No to fascism!"

Rutorrent with lighttpd
Rutorrent is a php frontend to the rtorrent bitorrent client.
It communicates with rtorrent using XML-RPC. It requires a web server such as lighttpd or apache to serve it's pages.
To set up rutorrent, we will need to have rtorrent and lighttpd set up.
Install rtorrent and configure to your liking.
# pacman -S rtorrent
Information on configuring rtorrent can be found on it's wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rtorrent.
rtorrent in the repos should be compiled with XML-RPC support.
Add the following line to your rtorrent config file, usually ~/.rtorrent.rc.
scgi_port = localhost:5050
Instead of using a tcp port, it is also possible to use a socket using the scgi_local option instead. This did not work for me, as lighttpd complained about permissions regardless of permissions / location of socket file.
You can choose a port other than 5050 if you like.
Install lighthttp and php.
# pacman -S lighttpd php php-cgi
Information on setting up lighthttp can be found on it's wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lighttpd
After starting lighthttp as per the wiki, you should be able to access the test page at http://localhost:80.
By default the pages are served from /srv/http, this is where we will be putting rutorrent.
Edit lighthttpd's config file, /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf.
The following lines tell lighttpd to load the fastcgi and simple-cgi modules. Fast cgi is needed for rutorrent itself, and scgi for rutorrent to communicate with rtorrent.
server.modules += ( "mod_fastcgi" ) server.modules += ( "mod_scgi" )
We need to tell lighttpd how to treat files like css, images (jpg etc.), js. Otherwise it will not know what to do with them, and you may get a dialog to download the file or rutorrent will just not work properly.
Here is a long list of filetypes, it is probably overkill as most of them are not needed, but easier to cover them all.
Add this to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf also.
mimetype.assign = ( ".rpm" => "application/x-rpm", ".pdf" => "application/pdf", ".sig" => "application/pgp-signature", ".spl" => "application/futuresplash", ".class" => "application/octet-stream", ".ps" => "application/postscript", ".torrent" => "application/x-bittorrent", ".dvi" => "application/x-dvi", ".gz" => "application/x-gzip", ".pac" => "application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig", ".swf" => "application/x-shockwave-flash", ".tar.gz" => "application/x-tgz", ".tgz" => "application/x-tgz", ".tar" => "application/x-tar", ".zip" => "application/zip", ".mp3" => "audio/mpeg", ".m3u" => "audio/x-mpegurl", ".wma" => "audio/x-ms-wma", ".wax" => "audio/x-ms-wax", ".ogg" => "application/ogg", ".wav" => "audio/x-wav", ".gif" => "image/gif", ".jar" => "application/x-java-archive", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".jpeg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png", ".xbm" => "image/x-xbitmap", ".xpm" => "image/x-xpixmap", ".xwd" => "image/x-xwindowdump", ".css" => "text/css", ".html" => "text/html", ".htm" => "text/html", ".js" => "text/javascript", ".asc" => "text/plain", ".c" => "text/plain", ".cpp" => "text/plain", ".log" => "text/plain", ".conf" => "text/plain", ".text" => "text/plain", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".dtd" => "text/xml", ".xml" => "text/xml", ".mpeg" => "video/mpeg", ".mpg" => "video/mpeg", ".mov" => "video/quicktime", ".qt" => "video/quicktime", ".avi" => "video/x-msvideo", ".asf" => "video/x-ms-asf", ".asx" => "video/x-ms-asf", ".wmv" => "video/x-ms-wmv", ".bz2" => "application/x-bzip", ".tbz" => "application/x-bzip-compressed-tar", ".tar.bz2" => "application/x-bzip-compressed-tar", # default mime type "" => "application/octet-stream", )
Next we add the configuration for scgi to connect to rtorrent. Make sure to use the same port as when configuring rtorrent.
scgi.server = ( "/RPC2" => ( "127.0.0.1" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 5050, "check-local" => "disable" ) ) )
And finally the fastcgi settings so lighthttpd knows how to deal with php.
fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => (( "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi", "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket" )))
At this point, you should be able to test if rtorrent and lighttpd's scgi are working properly using the xmlrpc command to ask rtorrent for a list of functions. ( See http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentXMLRPCGuide#Usage ).
$ xmlrpc localhost system.listMethods
This should output a log list of methods that can be accessed through rtorrent's scgi interface. If it doesn't then something may be wrong.
We need to make a small change to the open_basedir line in /etc/php/php.ini, to allow rutorrent to access the binaries it needs to run.
open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/bin
The binaries are stat, id, php, curl, gzip. If these are installed somewhere other than /usr/bin, then you may need to append that to the line also.
We will download rutorrent to lighttpd http directory.
# cd /srv/http # wget http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/files/rutorrent-3.5.tar.gz # tar xvfx rutorrent-3.5.tar.gz # rm rutorrent-3.5.tar.gz
These should download and extract rutorrent to /srv/http. You may need to change rutorrent-3.5 to the desired version from the rutorrent website.
rutorrent's config files are in /srv/http/rutorrent/conf/.
We need to edit /srv/http/rutorrent/conf/config.php, and change the port to the one we used in rtorrent and lighttpd.
$scgi_port = 5050; $scgi_host = "127.0.0.1";
Change the owner of the rutorrent to http (the user that lighttpd runs as by default).
# chown -R http rutorrent
rutorrent should now be set up.
Start rtorrent, and restart lighttpd if you have not done so since changing the configuration.
You should now be able to access the rutorrent interface on localhost or 127.0.0.1 on port 80 (assuming you did not change the default port for lighttpd).
To install plugins for rutorrent, download the archive of the plugin you want and extract to rutorrent's plugin directory.
Plugins can be found on the rutorrent website: http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/Plugins
SSL and Authentication
User Authentication
Detailed information on the different authentication methods can be found here: http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/Docs_ModAuth
In this example we will digest authentication with htdigest method.
In your lighttpd directory, we will create a file called "lighttpd-htdigest.user" or some other filename of your choice to hold the passwords.
For htdigest, the format of the lines is:
Username is your desired username, Realm is a name you chose to give to the access level. Hash is an md5sum of a string that looks like:
So your actual password is not stored in the file, it just contributes to the md5sum.
So using username: 'tom', Realm: 'rtorrent' and password: 'secret_pass', we can obtain the hash by running:
$ echo -n "tom:rtorrent:secret_pass" | md5sum | cut -b -32 a4aaa1091eb2d1d025bbd692dee3f0c
-n tells echo not to print a newline, the cut command takes just the first 32 bytes so we don't get the dash at the end.
So now save the hash in a variable by running:
$ hash=$(echo -n "tom:rtorrent:secret_pass" | md5sum | cut -b -32) $ echo hash 6a4aaa1091eb2d1d025bbd692dee3f0c
Now save it to our password file:
$ sudo echo "tom:rtorrent:$hash" > /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd-htdigest.user
You can use any file name you like, just add the same file to lighttpd.conf.
root as owner of this file should work ok, however it didn't work for me unless I made http owner.
$ sudo chown http /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd-htdigest.user $ sudo chmod 400 /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd-htdigest.user
Now we will change /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf to tell it to use this password file for anytime rutorrent is accessed.
Add the following lines:
server.modules += ( "mod_auth" ) auth.debug = 0 auth.backend = "htdigest" auth.backend.htdigest.userfile = "lighttpd-htdigest.user"
auth.require = ( "/rutorrent/" => ( "method" => "digest", "realm" => "rtorrent", "require" => "valid-user" ))
Restart lighttpd, and it should now require you to enter your username and password when you reload rutorrent.
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/lighttpd restart
The following resources can help you add ssl to lighttpd:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lighttpd#SSL http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/Docs_SSL http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/1/wiki/HowToSimpleSSL
If you just want to get it working, the following commands should work.
Create pem file:
sudo mkdir /etc/lighttpd/certs sudo openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/lighttpd/certs/lighttpd.pem -out /etc/lighttpd/certs/lighttpd.pem -days 730 -nodes
Then add the following lines to /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf (remove '#' comments if you still want plain http enabled:
#$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/certs/lighttpd.pem" #}
And change this line from 80 to 443 (if you only want ssl enabled):
server.port = 443
Then https should work, and depending on what you changed, http may not work anymore.
Note: This cert is not signed by a Certificate Authority, so you will have to add an exception in firefox.
For problems with rutorrent or lighttpd, the best place to check first is probably the lighttpd log files, in /var/log/lighttpd/. Particularly error.log.
$ tail /var/log/lighttpd/error.log

Miss Universe 2011 updates on August 31, 2011 - A press conference with Miss Universe 2011contestants - Plastic surgery was the favorite topic
Plastic surgery was the favorite topic in today's press conference
A press conference with the Miss Universe contestants happened this morning at the hotel they are staying at, in Sao Paulo. Plastic surgery was the main topic and the most asked question by journalists was, "Have you had any cosmetic surgery to participate in the pageant?".
After saying that "Brazilians are very friendly and that she had had some intense preparation to participate in Miss Universe, Miss Curaçao did not want to answer if she's gone through cosmetic surgery. "It's my little secret", she stated.
Miss Argentina mentioned that she had a breast implant years before knowing she was going to compete in a beauty pageant. The same talk was shared by Miss Venezuela. Vanessa Gonçalves, today 25, said she had her breast size enhanced when she was 19, and after that, has never gone through plastic surgery again in her life.
Miss France explained that in her country plastic surgeries are not allowed among girls who participate in the French national pageant. "In France, natural beauty is appreciated. I am 100% real!", she said with sense of humor.
Scherri-lee Biggs, Miss Australia, 21, commented: "Everything is also natural here. I am too young to have a plastic surgery". The Australian stunner also mentioned she loves the Brazilian bikinis.
About preparing for the pageant, most delegates said they had English classes and learned how to behave in front of the judges.
Miss China, for instance, took all kinds of classes, including intensive English, in the United States. Miss Costa Rica, went even further: she studied Portuguese for two months, and has been able to communicate really well with Brazilians in the local language.
Miss Philippines took Portuguese and samba classes before traveling to Brazil, and when asked if she could say a few words, she answered: "Um pouco", which means, "a little".
Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, visited Brazil 5 times in her process of preparation. She said Brazil as a lot of influence on the Angolan culture nowadays, and that she is a big fan of the Brazilian soap operas.
Miss Colombia told journalists she is impressed with how big and great São Paulo is: "I fell like being at home". Catalina Robayo also did not hesitate in saying that she believes she should be the winner: "Of all 89 candidates, I am the most complete one".

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of the
windpipe (trachea), just below the voice box (larynx). The thyroid gland uses
iodine from food to make two thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and
triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid gland stores these hormones and releases
them as they are needed.

All protists, fungi, animals, and plants on Earth are eukaryotes. Their cells possess membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus and mitochondria, distinct cytoskeletal features, and a unique chromosome structure that permits them to undergo mitosis or meiosis. The emergence of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic ancestors about 2 billion years ago was a pivotal evolutionary transition in the history of life on Earth. But the change was abrupt, and few clues exist as to the nature of the intermediate stages.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology examines evolutionary scenarios that likely led to the emergence and rapid evolution of eukaryotes. Contributors review the mechanisms, timing, and consequences of endosymbiosis, as well as molecular and biochemical characteristics of archaea and bacteria that may have contributed to the first eukaryotic lineage. They explore all of the available evidence, including clues from the fossil record and comparative genomics, and formulate ideas about the origin of genomic characteristics (e.g., chromatin and introns) and specific cellular features (e.g., the endomembrane system) in eukaryotes. Topics such as the origins of multicellularity and sex are also covered.
This volume includes discussion of multiple evolutionary models that warrant serious attention, as well as lively debate on some of the most contentious topics in the field. It will thus be fascinating reading for evolutionary biologists, cell and molecular biologists, paleobiologists, and all who are interested in the history of life on Earth.

Dear editor,
In a recent letter to the editor titled "HPV immunizations for 6th grader?," Pastor Jason Olson's remarks regarding the moral implications of the HPV vaccine are well-articulated. It is clear the Human Papillomavirus (or HPV) vaccine has become a topic for debate. Emmet County Public Health fully supports and encourages parents to make a thoughtful decision about all aspects of their child's health, including immunizations.
Each year in the United States, cervical cancer is diagnosed in more than 9,700 women and causes 3,700 deaths. Seventy percent of cervical cancers are caused by strains of HPV included in the HPV vaccine. According to the CDC, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States; currently, more than 20 million men and women are infected with HPV, and more than 6 million are estimated to become infected each year.
HPV is most common in young women and men in their late teens and early 20s.
Ideally, females should receive the HPV vaccine before they become sexually active and exposed to HPV this is why it is recommended beginning at 11 years of age.
Emmet County Public Health supports administration of the HPV vaccine because it prevents most strains of the virus that causes cervical cancer. HPV is also associated with several less common cancers, such as vaginal and vulvar cancers in women and other types of cancer in both men and women.
While the decision regarding the HPV vaccination may become an ethical or moral issue in some circles, public health supports the vaccine purely on the basis of disease prevention.

HIV/AIDS News
T Cell's Internal "Housekeeping Service" Plays Role in HIV Infection
Proteins that help clean and organize the inside of certain T cells may assist HIV in spreading through the body, scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) report in the November 21 issue of the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences." The new report, which complements studies by two other laboratories, is the first to implicate a collection of housekeeping proteins, collectively called the ubiquitin-proteasome system, in spreading HIV from one cell to another.
"We know more about HIV than about any other virus, and yet it continues to reveal new secrets," states Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of NIAID. "This discovery provides another example of how HIV manipulates T cells for its own survival and sheds light on a poorly understood type of virus-cell interaction."
The proteasome is the cell's garbage disposal, collecting and destroying old or damaged proteins, or proteins that are no longer needed. A molecule called ubiquitin is the chemical flag that often determines a protein's fate; a single ubiquitin molecule flag helps regulate a protein's function, whereas multiple flags target the protein for destruction.
Ulrich Schubert, Ph.D., a visiting scientist in NIAID's Laboratory of Viral Diseases, led a team of researchers from several institutions in a study of the ubiquitin- proteasome system in HIV-infected CD4+ T cells, the major target of the virus. The researchers used chemicals to shut down this system, and then compared the behavior of HIV in treated and untreated cells.
The results showed significant changes in the ability of the virus to exit CD4+ T cells and infect neighboring cells. When HIV particles exit the cell in a process called budding, they normally wrap themselves in a piece of the cell's membrane as they leave. The departing viruses therefore have an envelope that can fuse with the membranes of nearby cells, allowing the virus to enter. When Dr. Schubert and co-workers chemically blocked the proteasome, however, many of the budding virus particles failed to pull their stolen membrane loose as they tried to exit the cell, leaving them trapped on the surface. Furthermore, those viruses that did manage to escape often failed to mature properly, reducing their ability to infect other cells.
"Besides being able to spread by direct cell contact, HIV can bud from one cell if it is going to infect others, and by blocking the ubiquitin-proteasome system we partially prevent that from happening," explains Dr. Schubert, who also maintains a laboratory at Heinrich-Pette Institut in Hamburg, Germany. "Of the viruses that do manage to escape the surface, many fail to complete the biochemical changes that usually occur after they leave the cell, making them less able to infect new cells."
Deficiencies in both viral budding and maturation have been linked to so-called late assembly, or L, domain genes of HIV. When the scientists looked at the proteasome-blocked cells, some of the L-domain proteins lacked ubiquitin. One possible explanation for this discovery is that L-domain proteins might not assemble properly if they don't have their single ubiquitin molecule, a possibility that Dr. Schubert is currently investigating.
The two other "PNAS" reports, consistent with Dr. Schubert's work, take steps to explain how the ubiquitin- proteasome system affects HIV. In research partly funded by NIAID, Bettina Strack, Ph.D., and Heinrich Göttlinger, Ph.D., of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, led a research team that studied L-domain function in HIV and other viruses. They discovered that L domains use the ubiquitin-proteasome system to help mediate virus release. Their studies support a role for interactions between this system and L domains in a diverse group of viruses.
In the third paper, graduate student Akash Patnaik and John Wills, Ph.D., from Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, independently showed that budding of a cancer- causing retrovirus called Rous sarcoma virus is deficient in cells with low ubiquitin levels. The researchers also used electron microscopy to study why the virus particles cannot bud from the cell. They report that ubiquitin is an important part of the budding machinery, required for the virus to release itself from the cell surface.
In combination, these three new studies demonstrate a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome system in the release of several viruses from the membrane, and opens new avenues of research on HIV and other viruses. The scientists will now focus on better understanding the precise mechanism by which ubiquitin and the proteasome regulate viral budding and maturation.
Jonathan Yewdell, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the laboratory section in which Dr. Schubert's research took place, cautions that developing an anti-HIV drug that blocks the proteasome is unlikely. "The proteasome is important for almost all cellular functions, so such drugs would be toxic to the cell. Even our studies have a narrow time window when we can study the cells before they die." Drs. Schubert and Yewdell agree, however, that providing a thorough understanding of the interactions between HIV proteins and the ubiquitin-proteasome system may in the future reveal new ways to attack the virus.
NIAID is a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIAID supports basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat infectious and immune-mediated illnesses, including HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies.

I have been lucky enough to have a Silhouette cutting machine for a while now - I got it as a Christmas gift when it was on a really good sale - and I have a lot of fun with it!
I have not been very kind to it however, because I have let it sit on my desk all this time with no cover!
I finally made one the other day, and I wish I had done it sooner! It was a very fast project, and I feel so much better now, knowing that dust isn't collecting in all the little mechanical parts.
I used the pattern found here at Crap I've Made - and it worked great.
I did make a slight modification though:
Instead of doing a double fold on the bottom, I folded it under only once, sewed around and left a small opening, and threaded a thin elastic cording through.
I wanted the bottom to fit snugly around the machine, so that there was no risk of it coming off. I did a zig zag stitch along the bottom edge of the fabric, to keep it from fraying, since I only folded it under once, and the raw edge is visible on the inside. The elastic isn't very tight -- just enough to make it pull a bit around the bottom of the machine.
My mom has a Cameo - and when she came to visit me recently, I made her a cover too :)
For the Cameo, I used this tutorial at My Craft Spotlight. I made the same modification as I did with the regular Silhouette pattern, and added elastic to the bottom.
I have to say though, this Cameo pattern did not match up as well for me as the other pattern did. I had to adjust the width of the rectangular piece to make it match up with the end pieces. So, if you use it, just keep in mind that you might have to make some adjustments, and almost bunch your fabric to have the edges line up.
So, show your machinery a little love, and make some dust covers :)

When his old buddies in Congress would argue for winning the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, former U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., would draw on his experience as a grunt in Vietnam and respond: "Win What?"
Hagel, 66, could now end up having to expand on that enigmatic answer for the Senate Armed Services Committee at confirmation hearings.
Hagel's name has surfaced more frequently as a possible successor to 72-year-old Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who has made no secret of his want to return to his California walnut farm. Hagel was summoned last week for a private meeting at the White House with President Obama.
Obama has proven that he is not opposed to adding a Republican to his cabinet. He kept former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, a Republican, on his cabinet when Obama was inaugurated in 2009.
Panetta traveled to Afghanistan this week on what was widely billed as his farewell visit to the war zone, and published reports speculated that he might leave soon after the inauguration in January.
Obama signaled last month that his choice to succeed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State would likely be United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice and that Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), once considered the frontrunner, was now being looked to succeed Panetta.
But Rice's prospects for the post at State have dimmed – and Kerry's have brightened -- in the aftermath of her controversial statements on the Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
The guarantees of a nasty confirmation fight over Rice from Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., also raise the prospects for a Hagel nomination at Defense.
Other possible nominees include Michelle Flournoy, the former undersecretary of defense for policy, Ashton Carter, the current deputy defense secretary, and former Sen. Sam Nunn, who chaired the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hagel, considered a centrist Republican, has a lengthy record in his writings, speeches and votes in Congress that mostly put him in line with Obama on a wide range of policy issues from global warming to the cautious projection of U.S. military power.
On foreign policy, Hagel has echoed Clinton on engaging allies and, occassionally, foes, and the need to stress persuasion over confrontation. On spending, Hagel has backed the view of retired Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the deficit is a national security issue.
Hagel, an Army sergeant in Vietnam who received a Purple Heart, outlined his views on war in a 2009 editorial for the Washington Post on the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan now posted on the website of the Atlantic Council think tank, where Hagel serves as chairman.
"Too often in Washington we tend to see foreign policy as an abstraction, with little understanding of what we are committing our country to: the complications and consequences of endeavors," Hagel said of Iraq and Afghanistan. "It is easy to get into war, not so easy to get out."
"Accordingly, we cannot view U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan through a lens that sees only 'winning' or 'losing.' Iraq and Afghanistan are not America's to win or lose," Hagel wrote. "Win what? We can help them buy time or develop, but we cannot control their fates."
"There are too many cultural, ethnic and religious dynamics at play in these regions for any one nation to control. For example, the future of Afghanistan is linked directly to Pakistan and what happens in the mountains along their border. Political accommodation and reconciliation in this region will determine the outcome," Hagel wrote.
Hagel also argued last week for turning down the volume on U.S. policy pronouncements. "We will need to turn our receivers on and our transmitters off," Hagel said in the keynote address to the Atlantic Council's forum on "Envisioning 2030: U.S. Strategy for a Post-Western World."
Should Hagel get the Pentagon nomination, he can likely count on the support of First Lady Michelle Obama in the confirmation process. Hagel has a Portuguese waterdog named Figgie, who came from the same kennel as the Obama's Portuguese waterdog Bo.

NEW YORK, March 26 (UPI) -- Forty-seven percent of Americans still disapprove of the 2-year-old U.S. healthcare law, a New York Times-CBS News poll released Monday indicated.
The poll had a deep partisan divide.
Thirty-six percent of Americans approve of the law and 16 percent had no opinion.
Since its passage in 2010, the Affordable Care Act never garnered support of most Americans in surveys conducted by the Times and CBS, pollsters said.
The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on the law's constitutionality this week.
A majority of Democrats -- 56 percent -- said they approve of the law while about 75 percent of Republicans said they disapprove, results indicated. Fifty-one percent of independents say they disapprove of it.
Results are based on a nationwide telephone survey of 986 adults conducted Wednesday through Sunday. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

About Silverthorne
Silverthorne received its name from Judge Marshal Silverthorn, who staked his gold mining claim in the valley in 1881. The "e" was added to the name in the 1930's because it was considered fashionable and chic. Over 100 years later Silverthorne continues to be "the gateway to Summit County." Officially incorporated in the 1960's, Silverthorne has grown up with the Summit County tourist industry. Silverthorne's proximity to both summer and winter activities, where all four of Summit County's world-class ski resorts within 20 minutes, make the town an ideal place to visit and live. Silverthorne's 62,000 square foot recreation center offers plenty of indoor recreation for both residents and visitors alike. Silverthorne is best known for its shopping, which should not be missed. The Silverthorne Factory Stores, with over 70 brand name shops are widely known for exceptional value, quality, and variety.
