Rabbit-Proof Fence: The True Story of One of the Greatest Escapes of All Time
Miamax, Nov 20, 2002 - Biography & Autobiography - 160 pages
Following an Australian government edict in 1931, black aboriginal children and children of mixed marriages were gathered up and taken to settlements to be institutionally assimilated. In Rabbit-Proof Fence, award-wining author Doris Pilkington traces the story of her mother, Molly, one of three young girls uprooted from their community in Southwestern Australia and taken to the Moore River Native Settlement. There, Molly and her relatives Gracie and Daisy were forbidden to speak their native language, forced to abandon their heritage, and taught to be culturally white. After regular stays in solitary confinement, the three girls planned and executed a daring escape from the grim camp.

IP22 is Silicon Graphic's software archicture name for the hardware sold as Indy, Indigo 2 and Challenge S. Modulo peripherals these systems are all very similar. Various Linux distributions will easily install on IP22, among them the Debian MIPS port.
Processor Options
Over the years Indy systems have been equipped with a variety of MIPS processor starting with the 100MHz R4000PC over R4000SC, R4400PC, R4400SC, R4600PC, R4600SC, R5000PC and R5000SC. Indigo 2 systems use the same system board as Indys but have only been been made with R4000SC and R4400SC processor modules.
The POWER Indigo 2 is based on the IP26 system board and comes with the R8000 processor. The R8000 is in many ways a unique MIPS processor and currently only partially supported by Linux.
The architecturally very similar Indigo 2 R10000 is based on the IP28 system board and has a MIPS R10000 processor. This system represents a very special case and therefore isn't supported yet by Linux.
IP22 boards have two memory banks; each bank consists of 4 memory modules and if populated must be fully populated with fast page mode 36-bit wide PS/2 style memory modules from 4MB to 32MB size. Memory configurations between 16MB and 256MB are support.
The board in the Indigo 2 is similar but has third memory bank, therefore it's maximum memory configuration is 384MB.
IP26 and IP28 boards also have 3 memory banks each 4 modules but support 64MB memory modules also increasing the maximum memory capacity to 768MB.
Support of more than 384MB memory requieres a 64-bit Linux kernel.
Graphics Options
The Indy comes with the entry level XL (Newport) graphics which exists in 8-bit and 24-bit variants, and is basically a 2D card. There is also the XZ (Express) which is a 3D card with geometry processing and Z-buffering, and 24-bit color depth (and is unsupported under Linux). The Indigo 2 systems can use both of these options as well, however there is another one. The IMPACT is the best 3D graphics board available for these machines (and is also unsupported under Linux, although large parts of code might be shared with the Octane driver). Finally the Challenge S which is a headless compact server system (based on the Indy motherboard).
Storage Options
Challenge S, Indy, Indigo 2 and Indigo 2 R10000 are all equipped with an on-board WD33C93 SCSI controller. In addition to that the Challenge S has a second SCSI hostadapter supporting fast and wide SCSI, the WD33C95. Linux supports the WD33C93 but not the WD33C95.
Networking Options
All IP22 systems come with an onboard Seeq 8003 network controller. The Challenge S being a server system comes with a second 8003.
All IP22, IP26 and IP28 systems use ARC firmware.

IP22 has forgotten it's ethernet address
IP22 uses the Dallas DS1286 RTC chip to store time and firmware variables. This chip contains a builtin battery for ten years but by now this decade is almost over and experience has shown that some of these RTC batteries have a much shorter battery life, so the RTCs start becoming forgetful. Software may also accidentally have overwritten the RTC's content.
If you have determined that a defective RTC chip is the cause of the problem you can get a new RTC from http://www.maxim-ic.com/ or other sources. Be paranoid, make sure you don't get a part that has been sitting on a shelf for long years. It is possible that this chip is no longer mass-manufactured, too.
This is how to reprogram the RTC chip. Assuming your ethernet address is aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
fill -w -v 0xaa 0xbfbe04e8 fill -w -v 0xbb 0xbfbe04ec fill -w -v 0xcc 0xbfbe04f0 fill -w -v 0xdd 0xbfbe04f4 fill -w -v 0xee 0xbfbe04f8 fill -w -v 0xff 0xbfbe04fc
With this command you can verify the content of the chip's NVRAM:
dump -w -x 0xbfbe04e8
Note this will print each byte of the MAC address repeated four times; this is normal an due to the way the chip is used in the Indy.
The MAC address is also the system's serial number, so software licenses under IRIX might be bound to it. Also the ethernet standards specify certain meanings for certain values of the 48-bit address. Therefore you should reprogramm the old ethernet address. You may find the MAC address on the sticker on the machine. Below a bar code this sticker only contains a 12 digit hexadecimal number; it's typically located on the backside between the parallel port and and SCSI connectors on the left side and the power supply on the right side. In case this sticker has been lost, you probably also have the number somewhere in the bootmessages of Linux archived by syslogd or maybe a bootpd or dhcpd config file.
If you need to reprogram the ethernet address you will almost certainly have lost all other NVRAM settings, use the PROM shell's setenv -p command for that.

As most of you who read this blog on a regular basis know, I have been serving on an online panel for The Washington Post regarding this whole subject of changing or improving health care in our country. It's a huge subject and today I don't want to get lost in the muck and mire of trying to sludge through this whole issue. I, also, do not want to turn this blog, which I started to address living with chronic pain, to become a political one. Neither do I want it to be a religious one, a sexist one or a reality TV show; there is enough reality in living with daily pain. Everyone is welcome here and I don't want to do anything that will estrange anyone who needs to visit us. That said, however, I am a resolute believer in free speech
I spend a great deal of my limited energy writing for and responding to this blog. I usually write this on my laptop while lying down due to my own health problems. Needless to say, it means a great deal to me and I believe over the last three years it has brought together many wonderful individuals who suffer and brought to light many amazing solutions and answers for living with pain. I hope it has been an inspiration to many thousands more regular readers. I have developed faith in all of you, deep respect and affection for you and value your opinions. That is why I am bringing the question from the weekly Washington Post Health Care Rx to all of you. I want your opinions. Let me warn you that your replies will be posted, as usual but I'll be pointing back to this post with a link from my Washington Post blog. We will, as always, protect your privacy. I'm the only one out there with my full name for all to see; therefore I will get the "slings and arrows."
As usual, I have my opinions but they don't necessarily have to be yours. That's what's so amazing and wonderful about America; we can agree to disagree without malice. In this instance, most of you have been in the health care system for a few or many years. You have experienced the good and the ill of our system. You and I who live with chronic illness, injury and resulting chronic pain have personal knowledge of the medical system. Many of you are former and current medical personnel, as am I. Others of you have been ill a long time and have many opinions to share. With the subject of health care being a major one in the news right now there is much debate about the enormous costs of setting up a new system. Many fear the enormous debt and resulting taxation that would result and are worried that along with the already existing deficits, could bankrupt our country. There is much confusion and skepticism about the government getting involved in our health care. The question the panel at The Post will be addressing this week "Is it possible to rein in costs in the current system and if so, how?" How do you think we can do this? If you were in charge, what would you do besides throwing up your hands in despair or just plain throwing up?
To get your thoughts rolling I will share with you a few things that I have observed as both a patient and an RN. The first factor that comes to me is the high cost of drugs. Why should a drug cost $300 or more? I have a relative with pulmonary hypertension and the medication she needs to save her life is going to cost $50,000 a year. Fortunately, they were able to apply for a grant. When you're hospitalized the costs are enormous for everything from a box of Kleenex for $10.00 to an IV drug for an astronomical fee. I realize this isn't much compared to the trillion dollars needed for complete change of our health care system. I'm old enough to remember when we didn't even count that high. Now we take these huge numbers for granted. The last time I had to be hospitalized I had a nurse, who couldn't place a urinary catheter, yet she was very worried about the sterile factor; therefore, each time she screwed up she went out to get a new catheter kit. I was billed for each of those kits. It was easy to figure out the money wasn't going into paying nurses because the call lights at a large hospital I was in were rarely answered. Something is wrong when they can't staff a post operative floor better than that, don't you think? I know the nurses are totally frustrated under those circumstances.
There is a huge; I mean huge, abuse of our emergency rooms. Both Jim and I have seen drug addicts who pop into ER's to get drugs. They claim pain and the ER doc who doesn't want a lawsuit, trouble or vexation issues a prescription. Then the addict returns again and again. No wonder those of us who are truly in pain are doubted by our doctors and providers? I have seen mothers enter the ER late at night with 4 or 5 small children with colds to have them treated at the ER. First of all, why are those sick children out at midnight when they should be in bed? The second question is why they do not go to their own doctor or if they do not have a doctor, why not wait until morning and go to an urgent care or public health clinic? This behavior is straining the hospitals to the breaking point as well as those who have Medicaid offered by the state, driving it to the brink of bankruptcy. ER abuse is a major and serious problem.
Hospital equipment is another problem we face. How often have you seen an ad in the paper informing you a certain hospital has a new MRI, etc. The competition has to end among health care facilities. Some of the old equipment works just fine. There has developed a competition among providers to have the shiniest and newest equipment. Why not have more co-operations among providers in the same area. Why does a small area of 10,000 people need three MRI's?
We all know Medicare is hemorrhaging money due to fraudulent claims or payments that are misunderstood, badly coded or, indeed, illegal. This is happening to the tune of billions of dollars. Where's a tourniquet when it's needed? Who's enforcing the rules?
Drug companies, insurance companies and the hospitals. There has to be billions of wasted dollars to be found. Do I want a system that demands the government runs health care? No. When was the last time you saw any government run agency, a veteran's administration, a state bureaucracy or even a local agency run smoothly? Medical decisions should be made by medically trained individuals, not politicians. Reform is one thing. Total change is something else, so let's all think of ways to improve our current system not totally replace it. Remember that old adage about throwing the baby out with the bath water. Well, my independent choice is the "baby" and I'm not willing to lose it. As an individual with many complicated health issues, I do not want some elected politician or bureaucrat deciding who I can see for treatment, do you? I don't want a 2-10 hour wait in an ER when I need it, like they have in Canada, do you? I don't want to be told I'm "too old, too young, too tall or too short" for a surgery if I need it.
Do we have trouble in our current system? Of course, we do but let's go about it intelligently and with a plan that is well thought out. Let's not rush something that will land us, forever, in a mess of bureaucracy and debt.
I can understand and think it's a good idea for the government to perform oversight and come down hard with some rules for insurance, Medicare and drug companies. We have to tighten the runaway spending. Even the Mayo clinic has announced this is a bad plan. Have any of our legislators read this huge missive? Even the Congressional Budget office has said it will cost too much. Personally, I want to see a plan that is well thought out and one that I can believe in. What do you think we can do to improve our current system? Let me know, okay?

|When the Romulans first surround our heroes, one of their officers declares that "you have been identified as the Starship Enterprise". Good call, dude - it says "USS Enterprise" in twenty foot high letters right across the ship's hull!
When Kirk and Spock beam over to the Romulan flagship, it is agreed that two Romulan officers will beam to the Enterprise to act as hostages. All well and good - but when the Romulans beam aboard, the very first thing they do is pull their disruptor pistols and run off the transport pad as if they're about to start shooting! And oddly, Scotty responds to this by just standing there and giving them a stern look. So why on Earth are the Romulans pointing guns when they've agreed to be hostages? Is it some attempt to seize the transporter room and beam themselves back? That makes no sense because even though it's only Scotty standing there unarmed, we later learn that they are indeed in custody aboard the Enterprise. So are they just trying to appear intimidating or something? If I'd been the one in charge there would have been a couple of redshirts waiting with phasers out... and that little stunt would have gotten both of them stunned.
So this episode features Kirk secretly beaming onto the Romulan flagship during the stand-off, then beaming back to the Enterprise. Then later well after the Romulans realise that their cloaking device has been stolen, the Enterprise beams Spock off the ship. So... did the Romulan Commander really keep her ship's shields down all that time? Wasn't that a rather idiotic thing to do?
At the end of the episode Spock takes the Romulan commander from the bridge into the turbolift and orders it to deck 2. Now remember, the bridge is on deck 1. So the lift is descending a whopping one deck - about 11 to 12 feet. So... why does it take the turbolift a whole 56 seconds to cover this distance? That's like two and a half inches per second!
|Great Moment :
|Scotty's reaction to seeing Kirk as a Romulan.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|The Romulan-Klingon alliance mentioned in this episode as a reason Romulans were using Klingon ships reportedly came about when somebody dropped and broke the Romulan Warbird model!
As well as using Klingon ships, the Romulans are using Klingon hand weapons.
Non-canon sources have suggested several names for the Romulan Commander. Authors Josepha Sherman and Susan Shwartz list her as "Charvanek", as does the Star Trek Customizable Card Game. Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath call her "Dion Charvon" in "The Price of the Phoenix" and "The Fate of the Phoenix". Author Della Van Hise lists her as "Praetor Thea" in "Killing Time".
Kirk throws himself into the force field on his detention cell, injuring himself. McCoy beams aboard to treat him, but during his examination Kirk attacks Spock; unprepared, Spock responds instinctively with the Vulcan "death grip". Kirk's body is returned to the Enterprise.
There it is revealed that the entire situation is an elaborate Federation ploy - Kirk has been feigning a breakdown in order to give Starfleet plausible deniability for the move into Romulan space. Spock is in on the plan, and merely knocked Kirk out so that he could get back to the Enterprise. The mission is intended to allow the Enterprise to get close to a Romulan ship so as to steal a cloaking device. Kirk is disguised as a Romulan, and beams back aboard their flagship. He is successful in stealing the device, and beams back to the Enterprise with it. Whilst Scotty struggles to install the device Chekov scans the Romulan ship for Spock, a task complicated by the extreme similarity between Romulan and Vulcan physiology.
Spock is located and transported back just as the commander, furious at Kirk's theft of the cloak, is about to execute him. She is caught up in the transporter beam and captured along with him. The Enterprise warps out with the Romulans in hot pursuit. Just as they are about to enter firing range Scotty activates the cloak, and the Starship vanishes. Kirk and his crew return safely to Federation space, and he promises the Romulan commander that she will receive fair treatment and be returned to he people in due course.

Difference between revisions of "D-Day beaches"

D-Day Beaches are in Normandy, France. The D-Day beaches are the historic site of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of western Europe during World War II.
On June 6, 1944 – now known to history as D-Day – Operation Overlord, the long-awaited invasion of Northwest Europe, began with Allied landings on the coast of Normandy. The task was formidable, for the Germans had turned the coastline into a continuous fortress with guns, pillboxes, wire, mines, and beach obstacles - and on it depended the likely outcome of the war. Following an all-night bombardment of the assault areas, the Allies attacked on a five-division front, with the simultaneous landing of U.S., British, and Canadian forces on five separate beachheads code named:
Troops from three airborne divisions descended by parachute and glider on the flanks of the invasion area. The American 82nd and 101st airborne divisions were dropped into a zone at the base of the Cotentin Peninsula, and secured their objectives. The British 6th Airborne Division at the eastern end captured key bridges over the Caen Canal and Orne River. When the seaborne units began to land about 6:30 AM on June 6, the allied soldiers stormed the beaches against fierce opposition from German gun positions and mined beach obstacles. The soldiers raced across the wide-open beaches swept with machine gun fire, and stormed the gun positions. In fierce hand-to-hand fighting, they fought their way into the towns and hills and then advanced inland.
By the end of the day the 3rd British Division was within three miles of Caen, the 3rd Canadian Division was well established on its intermediate objectives and the 50th Division was only two miles from Bayeux. In the American zone, the 4th Division had established a 4-mile deep penetration inland and was within reach of Ste-Mere-Eglise, where the 82nd had fought throughout the night. The assault forces at "Omaha" beach had met fierce resistance, incurring significant casualties, but here too, beachheads had been established.
It was a magnificent accomplishment; the formidable Atlantic Wall had been successfully breached. By the end of D-Day, the Allies had landed more than 150,000 troops in France by sea and air, 6,000 vehicles including 900 tanks, 600 guns and about 4,000 tons of supplies and, astonishingly, had achieved complete surprise in doing it. More soldiers and supplies were pouring ashore to continue the advance on D-Day-plus-one. The victory was a turning point in World War II and led to the liberation of Europe and the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Normandy has a 'maritime' climate. The summers are warm and winters are mild. Rain however is a part of the climate all year round, winter seeing more rain than summer. The ongoing rain isn't enough to spoil a vacation most of the time and it does have a benefit, the nature is incredibly lush and green. Winter does see the occasional snow and frost as well, but in general the climate is pretty moderate in winter.
Summers are a little warmer than in southern Britain with up to 8 hours of sunshine per day. Cyclists love the region because it is not nearly as hot as most other parts of France and can be more compared to southern England than inland France. Either way, sunscreen and a hat is necessary even if it doesn't feel as hot as the rest of France, the sun is still beating down with force!
Get in
Normandy is easily reachable from Paris, either by car (2 to 3 hours drive) or by train (2 hours from Paris St Lazare station to Caen central station). Alternatively, a ferry across the channel will take you in 5 hours from Portsmouth to Ouistreham, the easternmost D-day target, an ideal starting point.
Get around
By Car
Car rental in Normandy can be arranged through several international chains including Avis, Budget, Eurocar and Hertz. Cars can be picked up in Caen and . Driving in France is on the right hand side of the road and all distance and speed measurements are in km.
bus routes in Normandy with services between Caen and Bayeux, Bayeux and Ouistrem, and Bayeux to Grandcamp. These cover most of the main landing beaches. All the routes are operated by Bus Verts du Calvados, and free timetables can be acquired from the main tourist offices. Telephone 0810 214 214.
Bike tours are very popular in France and biking is an excellent way of visitng the battlefields. You can rent bicycles at most major towns and railway stations in France.
Local tourist information offices will provide a leaflet (in English) that lists key visitor attractions, and has details of seven route itineraries which are also signposted on the road network.
Now more than 60 years after D-Day, the Normandy coast is peaceful with lovely seaside towns and picturesque beaches. Behind the coast is an old-fashioned farming landscape of grain fields, cattle and pastures, hedges and farmhouses. But the memories of war and D-Day are engrained in the landscape. Along the 50-mile D-Day invasion coast there are the remains of German gun emplacements and bunkers, while war memorials and monuments mark where the allied forces landed on the beaches. Inland, there are monuments in almost every village and at every bend in the road, for there is barely a square yard that wasn't fought over. Beautiful cemeteries overlook the sea and countryside and are essential stops along the way to understand and reflect on the human cost of the war. Along the coast and inland there are numerous D-Day related museums. Only by visiting do you get a proper idea of the vastness of the enterprise.
When you visit, "Take time to stroll on the beaches and through the villages and to drive country lanes that are once again regulated by rural rhythms, just as if they'd never been devastated at all. It's pretty and poignant, and here's a strange thing, it brings out the best in people. There's respect in the air and a common bond between visitors. Folk behave well, smile and chat more easily than usual." Anthony Peregrine, The Sunday Times.
An excellent time to visit is on the June 6th anniversary when there are numerous memorial ceremonies to mark the occasion. A large number of reenactment groups attend, adding pageantry and atmosphere. The church bells ring in the towns to celebrate the anniversary of their liberation. The French people will be happy to see you - these people remember, and the welcome will be warm.
The following description of the beaches is organized in an "east to west" order, so that it can be used to organize a driving tour along the coast. The length of a tour depends on how many sites and museums a person decides to visits. Enthusiasts could spend several weeks, however a 2 or 3 day visit will suffice to cover a couple of museums and most of the major sites. A good starting point is to get an orientation on the area and history of D-Day at either the Memorial de Caen, Caen or Musée du Débarquement (The Landing Museum) in Arromanches, and from there set out to explore.
The beaches are still known today by their D-Day code names.
Sword Beach
Sword beach, the most easterly of the five beaches, stretches from Ouistreham to Luc-sur-Mer. The British 3rd Infantry Division landed on the 2½-miles of beach between Ouistreham and Lion-sur-mer. The 41st Royal Marine Commando landed at Lion-sur-Mer, while the N°4 British Commando landed at Ouistreham. Integrated with the N°4 British Commando were 177 Frenchmen of the 1st Batallion of Fusiliers Marins Commandos who were granted the honor to set foot on Normandy soil in the first wave. On the eastern flank of Sword beach, the Sixth British Airborne had parachuted in the early morning hours of June 6th to seize bridges over the River Orne and Caen canal, silence gun batteries and secure the eastern flank of the D-Day beaches.

10. Ranville War Cemetery The name of Ranville will always be linked with the parachute and glider landings of the 6th Airborne Division, many of whose dead are buried here, among the 2,235 graves.
Juno Beach
Juno beach is five miles wide and includes the towns of St. Aubin-sur-Mer, Bernières-sur-Mer and Courseulles-sur-Mer. On D-Day the coastline had been fortified by the occupying Germans and bristled with guns, concrete emplacements, pillboxes, fields of barbed wire and mines. The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division reinforced by the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade landed in two brigade groups and fought their way across the beaches and into the towns. The No. 48 Royal Marine Commando secured the left flank at Langrune-sur-Mer. The opposition the Canadians faced was stronger than that of any other beach save Omaha.
11. Site de Langrune-sur-Mer Located in the town center, on the sea front is the 48th Royal Marine Commando monument. In the entrance hall of the city hall there is a plaque in memory of the friendship between the 48th Royal Marines Commando veterans and the citizens of Langrune-sur-Mer.
12. Site de Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer A 50-mm gun casement has been preserved at Place du Canada. There are stone memorials to the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment, Fort Garry Horse and 48th Royal Marine Commando here.
13. Site de Bernieres-sur-Mer This pretty seaside village is distinguished by its church with a 13th century bell tower and 220-foot spire.

Memorials to the Queen's Own Rifles, Le Regiment de la Chaudière and Fort Garry Horse are located by a German bunker at La Place du Canada. There is an excellent view of the beach from the bunker position and you can imagine what it must have been like when 800 men of the Queens's Own Rifles stormed ashore here as the lead wave of the dramatic D-Day assault. There are also the North Nova Scotia Highlanders plaque and Journalists HQ plaque. There is a walkway on the seawall that makes for a pleasant stroll along the ocean. If you walk east along the seawall about ½ km, you can see the house that appears in the background on the famous film footage showing the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada storming the beach on D-Day.
14. Site de Courseulles-sur-Mer In the Courseulles-sur-Mer town center, on the sea front there is a Sherman Duplex Drive (DD) tank on display. This tank was recovered in 1970 from the sea and restored. Badges of regimental units who fought in the area are welded to it. Monuments in the area include the Royal Winnipeg Rifles monument, Regina Rifles Regiment stele, Canadian Scottish Regiment stele, Royal Engineers plaque, and the Liberation and De Gaulle monument. The Croix de Lorraine monument commemorates the return of General de Gaulle in France.
15. Centre Juno Beach (Juno Beach Centre), Courseulles-sur-Mer The Juno Beach Centre presents Canada's role in military operations and the war effort on the home front in World War II. Film, audio and displays bring pre-war and wartime Canada alive, as well as covering the fighting experiences. Juno Park at the front of the center has walkways with interpretation panels, a preserved German bunker and a path leading to the beach. There is little development here, so nothing interrupts your contemplation of beach and ocean. You can imagine the sands littered with mines-on-sticks, spiky metal "hedgehogs", barbed wire and other barbarisms intended to rip the heart out of landing craft and the 14,000 Canadians that landed in this area.

20. Arromanches At Arromanches, you're looking down a stretch of Gold Beach and site of the Mulberry harbour. The invasion needed a port to bring in supplies on a huge scale. So the allies built concrete pontoons that were towed across the channel and sunk to form the port's outer perimeter. Twenty of the original 115 pontoons still defy the waves.
21. Musée du Débarquement (The Landing Museum), Arromanches Located in front of the actual vestiges of the Mulberries, this museum is devoted to the incredible feat of technology achieved by the British in building and setting up the artificial harbour.

Omaha Beach
Omaha beach is overlooked by bluffs which rise to 150 feet and command the beaches. These naturally strong defensive positions had been skillfully fortified by the Germans with concrete gun emplacements, anti-tank guns and machine guns. Allied bombing left these largely undamaged, and since there was no cover on the beach, this tranquil strand of beach became a killing field. The US 1st Infantry Division had the most difficult landing of the whole Allied assault on D-Day. Within a mile to the rear of the beach lay the fortified villages of Colleville-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer and Vierville-sur-Mer
28. Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, Colleville-sur-Mer Overlooking Omaha Beach, this 172.5 acre cemetery contains the graves of 9,387 American soldiers. The rows of perfectly aligned headstones against the immaculate, emerald green lawn convey an unforgettable feeling of peace and tranquility.

Along the coastal road, 500 meters from Les Moulins a monument is situated in the place of the First American Cemetery in Normandy on Omaha beach. The soldiers interred there were later moved to the military cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. The beach's desolation makes it a powerful site to imagine soldiers battling on the sand, completely vulnerable to German artillery.
33. La Pointe du Hoc La Pointe du Hoc, a rocky headland towering over the beaches, has become a symbol of the courage of American troops. Here, Germans had placed bunkers and artillery. The positions were bombed, shelled and then attacked by 225 US Rangers, who scaled the 35-metre rock wall, besieged the bunkers and finally took them, only to find there were no guns at all. The guns had been dismantled and hidden in an orchard inland. Only 90 rangers were still standing at the summit. Today, bomb and shell craters remain. There is a monument in memory of the 2nd Rangers Battalion, who assaulted and captured La Pointe du Hoc battery. The memorial is built on a control firing casemate where bodies of the soldiers still lie under the ruins.
34. Musée des Rangers – Batterie de Maisy (Rangers Museum), Grandcamp Maisy This museum recalls the history of the American Rangers unit, who assaulted La Pointe du Hoc on the D-Day. Uniforms and equipment displays revive the actions of the American Rangers. 14450 Grandcamp-Maisy, Tel. 02 31 92 33 51
Utah Beach
Utah beach, the most westerly of the five beaches, was attacked by the US 4th Infantry Division. By mistake the landings all took place on the southern part of the beach which happened to be less well defended. Airborne troops landed through the night to secure the invasion's western flank and to open the roads for their colleagues landing by sea at dawn. The objective was to cut the Cotentin Peninsula in two, and take Cherbourg.
35. Dead Man's Corner Museum, Saint Come du Mont At the point where the 101st Airborne Division encountered the Green Devils (the German paratroopers) you can get an insight into the battle for Carentan on the site which has remained largely intact. 2 Village de l'Amont - 50500 Saint Come du Mont, Tel./Fax 02 33 42 00 42

37. Ste-Mère-Eglise Ste-Mère-Eglise, is perhaps the most famous "D-day village" of all. Street panels around Ste-Mère-Eglise explain the operations of the US paratroopers. In the square, a parachute effigy still dangles from the church, commemorating what happened to John Steele when his parachute snagged on the spire. Inside the church is a stained-glass window featuring the Virgin and child, surrounded by paratroopers.

STANFORD, Calif. - This week has been unlike any other in the 20 years Mike Gleeson has been Stanford football's video director.
Even though there's a tight turnaround between the Cardinal's 35-17 victory last Saturday at UCLA and the Pac-12 championship game rematch tonight, Gleeson's typical task is simplified. All he has to do is add video from the first game and recalculate statistics to the preparation done last week.
After that, things get complicated.
"The staff, in a way, they have to shuffle the deck as if it didn't happen. Or did it?" Gleeson said. "How do you want to look at it? Do you want to change things? Do you want to keep things? Now we've got the mind games with UCLA. What did they show? What do we think they showed compared to what they'll do this week?
"Well, we have 11 other games. So we kind of know what they're about, just like they know what we're about. But did they show everything that they could against us? Maybe. Maybe not. That's the mind game."
Call last week a dress rehearsal, although even that may be in question. Stanford will wear its black uniforms, helmets and shoes for only the fourth time. UCLA is expected to swap out those dark blue "L.A. Night" jerseys for its traditional white tops, gold pants and gold helmets on the road.
With the league title at stake, what else the eighth-ranked Cardinal (10-2, 8-1) and the No. 17 Bruins (9-3, 6-3) bring out of the closet for the sequel at Stanford Stadium might not be so obvious. They will be the first opponents in major college football matched against each other for a regular-season finale and conference title game in consecutive weeks.
After the opener at the Rose Bowl, booking a return trip to Pasadena for "The Granddaddy of Them All" on Jan. 1 could be tricky. Both staffs lost a day of game planning and practice, and the preparation has everybody involved contemplating how to approach Part II.
"I cannot recall ever being in this situation before," UCLA coach Jim Mora said. "I don't know that it benefits either team, or is hard on any team. It just comes down to going out on Friday night and executing. Any familiarity we have with them, they'll have with us."
Stanford's video staff usually compiles highlights of about four games from when its opponent faced a team that mirrored what the Cardinal does, including last season's meeting if the opponent has the same coaching staff or style. In this case, last week's game stands for last season's game. Then producers send the videos and analytical reports to coaches and players through an application on their iPad playbooks.
"Our challenge is to make sure that we don't outsmart ourselves," said Stanford coach David Shaw, who won his second straight Pac-12 Coach of the Year award this week. "But at the same time, that we are as diverse as we can be, to make sure that the things that we did positively, we got to know that UCLA is going to come back and have answers for it. The things that they did positively, we got to make sure that we fix those things that hurt us."
The Cardinal controlled the first matchup in familiar, physical fashion.
Stepfan Taylor rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns and is now 35 yards shy of Darrin Nelson's school rushing record of 4,169 yards (note: Stanford had previously said Nelson finished with 4,033 yards, however, in recent years the school started including bowl game statistics and did not originally add Nelson's postseason totals to its record books).
Kevin Hogan beat his third ranked opponent in his third straight start since replacing Josh Nunes, passing for 160 yards and another score to help Stanford run away with its fourth victory in a row over the Bruins.
UCLA's Brett Hundley completed 20 of 38 passes for 261 yards and a TD with one interception while getting sacked seven times. Stanford, which leads the nation in rushing defense (71.3 yards), sacks (4.4) and tackles for loss (9.2) per game, held Johnathan Franklin - the Bruins career rushing leader - to 73 yards on the ground.
"Both teams sort of see what the other teams are capable of doing and their tendencies, stuff like that." Hundley said. "Both teams have that advantage."
Things will not get any easier as the Bruins go for their first conference championship since 1998.
Stanford has won eight straight and 19 of its past 20 home games, with the lone loss coming to Oregon last season, then avenging that defeat with defensive domination in a 17-14 overtime win over the Ducks (11-1, 8-1) two weeks ago to secure the North Division tiebreaker. The Cardinal are riding a six-game winning streak and looking to win the league title for the first time since 1999 while advancing to their third different BCS bowl in as many seasons.
UCLA's repeat trip to the second annual Pac-12 championship game does come with at least one noticeable difference. Last year, UCLA lost 49-31 at Oregon in lame duck coach Rick Neuheisel's weird finale - the Bruins had a 6-6 record and only advanced out of the South Division because crosstown rival Southern California was finishing a two-year postseason ban for NCAA violations.
This time, Mora had to face questions after the regular-season finale about whether he limited his game plan knowing the possibility of facing Stanford loomed. Both he and Shaw, who took Taylor out during the fourth quarter with the score lopsided against UCLA, said neither side seemed to withhold anything.
Of course, all agree each game is different.
"They've probably got some tricks up their sleeve that we didn't see," Cardinal outside linebacker Trent Murphy said. "Everybody always says, 'It's really tough to beat a team twice.' But as far as the positives go, every week you look on the tape, you see the mistakes you made and the things you wish you could've done better. The kind of moves that you see that were there after watching the film. You get an opportunity to correct those mistakes the next weekend."

Greening Water Usage
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 04, 2007
Some pundits have suggested that the next international conflicts will not be over oil, but over water. Not long ago, an uproar was stirred in our area in the upper Midwest when it was discovered that a large ship from a foreign port was filling its hold (not just its ballast tanks) with water from one of the Great Lakes. (By the way, the Great Lakes make up one-fifth of the earth's surface fresh-water supply.) Water has always been a trigger for tension when competing groups—such as farmers and ranchers, and now agricultural lands and cities—vie for the water they need for their survival. In the Southwest, one of the fastest-developing parts of our country, the primary aquifers are nearly depleted, and the Colorado River, which supplies most of the water to the region, has been drained to its limits. For those of us concerned with building performance, we cannot create structures that are sustainable without addressing water issues on both the interior and the exterior of these structures. Some new, imaginative strategies are emerging for this work, while some solutions are as old as civilization. Once we recognize our responsibility to conserve water ...

Rice's star rises as congressional opposition dims
WASHINGTON — With congressional opposition softening, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice could find her name in contention as early as this week to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. It's a step that may signal greater U.S. willingness to intervene in world crises during President Barack Obama's second term.
As Obama nears a decision on who should be the country's next top diplomat, Rice has emerged as the clear front-runner on a short list of candidates that many believe has been narrowed to just her and Sen. John Kerry, despite lingering questions over her comments about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya.
According to congressional aides and administration officials, Rice will be making the rounds on Capitol Hill this week for closed door meetings with key lawmakers whose support she will need to be confirmed. Those appearances follow her first in-depth explanation of her Benghazi remarks that Republicans seized on as evidence of the administration's mishandling of the attack that took the lives of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
Acting CIA Director Michael Morell will join Rice in her meetings with lawmakers.
A senior Senate aide said the administration was trying to measure the strength of the Republican opposition to a Rice nomination, sounding out the more moderate members of the Foreign Relations Committee such as Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who is in line to become the panel's top Republican next year, and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.
Rice is scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., her most vocal critic on Capitol Hill. She will also meet with Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. McCain and Ayotte are members of the Armed Services Committee.
During an interview on Monday, McCain said he would ask Rice "the same questions I've been talking about on every talk show in America." Asked whether he thinks she's still unfit for secretary of state and what he was hoping for, McCain interrupted and said, "I'm not hoping for anything. She asked to see me and I agreed to see her."
Assessing the prospects for Rice before Obama makes any announcement would avoid the embarrassment of a protracted fight with the Senate early in the president's second term.
On talk shows the weekend following the attacks, Rice relied on talking points provided by the intelligence community that described the attack as a spontaneous assault growing out of a protest of an anti-Muslim film. GOP critics say her remarks downplayed evidence of an obvious terrorist attack just weeks before the Nov. 6 election.
Republicans called her nomination doomed, leading to a vigorous defense of her by Obama in his first post-election news conference. But since then, GOP lawmakers seemed to have softened their views. McCain, who said earlier this month that would he do everything in his power to scuttle a Rice nomination, said on Sunday that he was willing to hear her out before making a decision. McCain ally Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has also eased his opposition and said he is usually deferential to presidential Cabinet picks.
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, had issued a statement highly critical of Rice on the day of Obama's news conference. He indicated Monday that perhaps she didn't know what had transpired in Benghazi on the day of the attack.
"I assumed she had full knowledge of everything that went on. I'm not at all convinced of that now. She very well could have been thrown under the bus," Inhofe said in an interview. He said she hadn't requested a meeting but he would be glad to meet with her.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday that the administration appreciated McCain's latest comments about Rice, but wouldn't say whether the president saw them as an opening to make the nomination. "Ambassador Rice has done an excellent job at the United Nations and is highly qualified for any number of positions," Carney said.
Several diplomats currently serving with Rice said that what she lacked in Clinton's star power, she could make up with a blunter approach that demands attention and has marked her tenure thus far at the United Nations.
Rice, who at 48 is relatively young, has played the role of "conscience of the administration" on human rights and detainee issues and would bring "a certain edge" to the secretary of state job, according one colleague who has dealt with Rice on multiple issues over the past three years.
She "will not be going into the job as a star," said Karl Inderfurth, a former U.S. ambassador and senior State Department official who worked closely with Rice in President Bill Clinton's administration when she worked as a staff aide to the National Security Council and then as assistant secretary of state for African affairs. "She will be a rising star, though."
"Hillary Clinton understood the politics of diplomacy: what the person across the table needs in order to sell something," said Inderfurth, now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington. "Susan Rice's background is different. What she'll bring is her experience in multilateral engagement and the limitations thereof."
"But the most important thing she brings to the table is her relationship with the president," Inderfurth said.
Rice, like many other foreign policy experts of her generation, was shaped by the Clinton administration's inability to prevent the genocide of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda 1994. Years later, she told a journalist: "I swore to myself that if I ever faced such a crisis again, I would come down on the side of dramatic action, going down in flames if that was required."
That doesn't mean the U.S. will change its policy of only providing humanitarian support to Syrian rebels fighting to overthrow the regime anytime soon. But Rice's confirmation as the next secretary of state could alter the balance in an administration that has viewed humanitarian interventions with significant skepticism, given its rejection of the Bush administration's war in Iraq.
An early supporter of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, Rice fell out with some of her Clinton administration-era NSC and State Department colleagues who urged her to support Hillary Clinton's competing candidacy, including her own mentor, Madeleine Albright, and some of her top aides.
With the Clinton-Obama primary battle in full gear in April 2008, tension between the two camps was on public display at a ceremony and reception to unveil Albright's official portrait in the State Department's ornate 8th floor Benjamin Franklin room, according to several people present. At those events, Rice firmly brushed aside appeals that she switch allegiance, those present said.
Obama's 2008 election brought with it the prospect that Rice, one of his campaign's top foreign policy advisers, might be in line for the Cabinet job she is known to covet. Instead, however, Obama went with the surprise choice of Clinton and gave Rice the U.N. portfolio, although he attempted to deflect her disappointment by restoring the job to a Cabinet-level position.
But her sights remained set on the top job, according to people who know her.
Since arriving in New York, Rice can point to a series of diplomatic achievements — most notably the NATO-led air campaign that toppled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and tougher sanctions against Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs.
But Rice has also been criticized — along with other Security Council leaders — for the failure of the U.N.'s most powerful body to take action to end the 19-month civil war in Syria.
She has also been criticized, especially by human rights groups, for being too protective of U.S. allies, namely Sri Lanka where the U.N. says up to 40,000 ethnic Tamil civilians may have been killed in the final months of the country's civil war that ended in May 2009, and Rwanda, which has been accused of backing the M23 rebel group that last week took control of the eastern Congo city of Goma.
As U.N. ambassador, she has gained a reputation for a sharp intellect and sharp elbows. She is not known for diplomatic finesse, rather for being aggressive — sometimes too aggressive — and using salty language on occasion. In private, she has a good sense of humor.
In a legendary exchange last December, Rice dismissed an appeal by Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, who also isn't afraid to speak out, for a Security Council investigation of civilian deaths in Libya from NATO's bombing campaign as "a cheap stunt" to distract attention from the Syrian conflict.
"Oh, the bombast and bogus claims," she told reporters.
Churkin responded by mocking Rice's Stanford University degree, saying: "We hear that the Obama administration wants to establish a dialogue with the international community in the United Nations… If this is the intention, really this Stanford dictionary of expletives must be replaced by something more Victorian."

Communicating through Broadwell, Kindred asked if Petraeus would be doing one of those segments where he coaches Teddy Roosevelt before the race. Broadwell told Kindred that Petraeus "insists he won't coach unless the Nats let Teddy win."
So that's one thing that worked out well for them this fall.

Well, OK, it's not really new. Some automakers, like GM, have been recording consumer driving habits since the early 1990s. In fact, around 91 percent of all light-duty vehicles in the US currently contain data logging devices.
Motor Authority is reporting the new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandate, which has been approved by the White House, requires 100 percent of all new cars to incorporate data recorders in 2013.
These new "black boxes," which probably won't be black or boxy, will measure 15 data points, including; brake pressure; speed; steering angle; and even seatbelt usage. What this data will be used for – and who will own this data – is presently unclear. Be sure law enforcement and insurance agencies will try their hardest to get a hold of the data.
For now, this development shouldn't represent any real change for consumers. In several years, however, it could. Insurance companies, in order to deny accident claims, could readily use these data points to raise rates on erratic and unsafe drivers. Along those same lines, law enforcement – in the foreseeable future – try to access this data wirelessly and on the fly, raising a whole host of privacy concerns.
Although these blind boxes are most likely a good thing for your every day consumer, we wonder if they shouldn't additionally require dash cams like they do in Russia. Speed and brake application data can be helpful to determine wrongdoing but a video would be even better. Dash cams, if not make us more accountable behind the wheel, would certainly provide some hair-raising video for YouTube.
