An Ann Arbor psychologist has been charged with sexually assaulting a patient, court records show.
Sixty-one-year-old David Falkner, of Ann Arbor, was arraigned Monday on four counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct by Judge Elizabeth Hines in the 15th District Court, according to court records.
The charges listed in the warrant indicate the victim was a patient. According to state law, a mental health professional cannot engage in sexual contact during or two years after a patient is in treatment. The consent of the victim is not a defense in these cases.
Police say the victim is a woman older than 18 but would not release details about the case Wednesday evening.
"The department received a complaint of an inappropriate relationship," Ann Arbor police Sgt. Earle Fox said. "That complaint was investigated by our detective division and was forwarded to the prosecutor's office, which authorized the charges."
Falkner retired a few years ago from Ann Arbor Public Schools, where he had worked as either a social worker or psychologist, said district spokeswoman Liz Margolis.
He has a private psychology practice in downtown Ann Arbor, according to his website.
"...Falkner has been providing professional psychological services to the young people and families of the Ann Arbor community for over 30 years," the site says. "For 25 years as a school psychologist in public service, and for fifteen years as a clinical psychologist in private practice, he has offered diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that effectively integrate the best of these two fields.
"In working with a wide range of clients, his eclectic approach incorporates both psycho-dynamic and cognitive-behavioral perspectives in the assessment and treatment process."
Phone and email messages left for Falkner Wednesday evening were not returned.
Falkner is free on a personal recognizance bond and has a court date scheduled for Feb. 28, according to court records. The four charges are high-court misdemeanors each punishable by two years of imprisonment or a fine up to $500.

This story must be reported by AnnArbor.com to its readers as a story about professional misconduct.

While licensing complaints may also be in order, state criminal laws also apply. Getting arraigned in 15th District Court very much means this is a matter of criminal law, whether or not professional misconduct charges are also pursued.

"Assault" it seems is a specific legal charge. This man has not been charged with "assault". The reporter may be using the term outside the legal sense, but the use of this word is misleading in this context/headline.

These are only high misdemeanors. Faulkner will get a slap on the wrist. Pay a fine and court costs. The Board of Psychology will investigate.

From the Michigan Prosecuting Attorneys Association website, "Steps in a Michigan Criminal Case." http://www.michiganprosecutor.org/Process.htm Below are the steps that appear to have been taken in this case at this time. Crime Committed / Police Notified Police Investigate Investigation may include interviewing victim, witnesses, suspects; collecting physical evidence; visiting, viewing, photographing, measuring crime scene; identifying suspects; through line-ups ... etc. Police Make an Arrest (or Request a Warrant) When a crime is committed in a police officer's presence --- or the officer has probable cause to believe that certain misdemeanors or any felony was committed that the officer did not see happen --- an officer may arrest a suspect on the spot without an arrest warrant. The officer will later submit a charging/warrant request to the Prosecuting Attorney, suggesting potential charges to be authorized. Warrant/Charging Request Reviewed by Prosecuting Attorney Most cases begin with a warrant request. This is generally the first time that the Prosecuting Attorney's office is involved in a case, unless a prosecutor reviewed a search warrant or visited the crime scene. At this stage, the Prosecutor determines whether a person should be charged with a crime and, if so, what the crime should be. The Prosecutor must thoroughly review all reports and records concerning the case, including witness statements. The Prosecutor also reviews the suspect's prior criminal or traffic record. Occasionally, the reviewing Prosecutor sends the case back to the police to conduct additional investigation. Warrant Issued The Prosecutor can issue a charge if he or she reasonably believes that probable cause exists that the suspect committed the offense. But, most reviewing Prosecutors apply a higher standard --- whether the charge can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt at trial with the information known at that time.

Earth to A2dotcom: You can't get sued for what comments you publish following your articles, but you sure can be for the articles themselves.

Don't let it get to you. My impression, gained from long supporting this news site and from comments by readers and friends (including 2 educators), is that this site is on a downward slide. When readership falls below a certain point, advertising money dries up - then the "news agency" closes shop. No law suits needed. There may be other explanations for what seems to be happening but the bottom line is that readership ("subscriptions") is the determining factor. Stipulating: I'm not particularly disturbed by AnnArbor.com's handling of this story. But IMO, there is a long-term pattern of deterioration in reporting. I'm not angered by this, I'm saddened and disappointed. Ann Arbor deserves a high quality source of professional journalism.

Below is an excerpt from a booklet entitled "Professional Therapy Never Includes Sex." The full text can be found here: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/proftherapy.pdf. Even though this is a brochure from California, the same considerations apply in Michigan. "Professional psychotherapy never includes sex. It also never includes verbal sexual advances or any other kind of sexual contact or behavior. Sexual contact of any kind between a therapist and a patient is unethical and illegal in the state of California. Additionally, with regard to former patients, sexual contact within two years after termination of therapy is also illegal and unethical. "Sexual contact between a therapist and a patient can also be harmful to the patient. Harm may arise from the therapist's exploitation of the patient to fulfill his or her own needs or desires, and from the therapist's loss of the objectivity necessary for effective therapy. All therapists are trained and educated to know that this kind of behavior is inappropriate and can result in the revocation of their professional license. "Therapists are trusted and respected, and it is common for patients to admire and feel attracted to them. However, a therapist who accepts or encourages these normal feelings in a sexual way - or tells a patient that sexual involvement is part of therapy - is using the trusting therapy relationship to take advantage of the patient. And once sexual involvement begins, therapy for the patient ends. The original issues that brought the patient to therapy are postponed, neglected, and sometimes lost. "Many people who endure this kind of abusive behavior from therapists suffer harmful, long-lasting emotional and psychological effects. Family life and friendships are often disrupted, or sometimes ruined."
Fri, Feb 8, 2013 : 1:05 a.m.
Also from the same booklet: "Remember: It doesn't matter if you, the patient, started or wanted the sexual involvement with the therapist. Therapists are responsible for keeping sexual intimacy out of the therapy relationship and are trained to know how to handle a patient's sexual attractions and desires."

"The department received a complaint of an inappropriate relationship..." Who made the complaint? This is key to this entire case. If the woman who allegedly had sexual contact with Dr. Falkner made the complaint, then it is very different from an outsider making a complaint about sexual contact between two potentially consenting adults. This could possibly be a situation where a colleague of Falkner made the complaint for any number of reasons and in fact the sexual contact was potentially consensual. Not enough info here.

There might not be enough info here to satisfy you but obviously enough info was provided for the prosecutor's office to bring charges.

Another reader suggested via email that we clarify a little bit about the judicial process here. The arraignment that was reported here follows a complaint to police; a police investigation; police turning over evidence to the prosecutor; and the prosecutor filing criminal charges. The next likely court date would involve a preliminary examination, when evidence will be presented in open court and the judge will decide if it should proceed to trial.

Tesla: We are continuing to investigate the exact nature of what Falkner is charged with. Fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct can include "force or coercion."

And John, while we're at it, please apply your judgment to that portion of the statute that prohibits incest. When two consenting adult damily members have unlawful sexual contact, each is guilty of CSC. Which one has committed sexual assault? Same vein: CSC 4th can include force or coercion, you note. Is it "force or coercion" that makes this incident an assault in your judgment? If so, was force or coercion actually alleged by the State? If not, why are you prematureyl calling it assault? What if, for instance, the victim initiated the sexual contact and the Defendant failed to meet his lawful obligation to decline, would that still be "force or coercion?" Because you don't yet know what conduct underlies the charges, you cannot rely on the "it-would-be-if-there-were-force-or-coercion" defense to your own headline writing.

Is considered an assault by whom? There are, in fact, statutes that speak to assault. This one does not. That the editors and reporters at AnnArbor.com consider it to be a sexual assault is an editorial choice, not a fact, and you merely repeat your judgments when you write a comment like the one above. You should instead write, "I consider any sexual contact that is against the law to be an assault, and that's why I wrote the headline the way I did."

Once again we see commenters crying "Foul!" over a story concerning an assumed professional mental health worker in our community. Where are their cries for other people who have been arraigned and had their pictures published? Seems like a double standard to me. All I can figure is that these commenters have some personal relationship with the accused. Everyone needs to step back and see what happens in the courts.
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 5:47 p.m.
lets hope this isn't true. that somehow he is caught in a technicality. say the women is a consenting adult who is in her 40's or 50's and the relationship started one year after they separated as patient and doctor. I think that might be less of a "crime" and more a violation of "rules" or ethical responsibility..

A wise man once said, how can you not get burned when you engage in hot passion, in the context of inappropriate sex. Warning to the old and young. Who or what you have sexual relations with has immense consequences. Even if the media shows today exploit it so much. Let's hope this guy is innocent.

To be fair, a CSC 4th degree for whioch he is charged,MCL 750.520e(1)(e) Criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree; misdemeanor. reads like this: (e) The actor is a mental health professional and the sexual contact occurs during or within 2 years after the period in which the victim is his or her client or patient and not his or her spouse. The consent of the victim is not a defense to a prosecution under this subdivision. A prosecution under this subsection shall not be used as evidence that the victim is mentally incompetent. A thorough search of the statute reveals that the word "assault" , or the words "sexual assault" together, are no where in the statute.

@Kyle - does it help or hurt your position on this that two comments down your colleague John indicates you're still investigating the facts regarding what conduct the Defendant is charged with? If you did not know that when you published, and therefore did not know if there was force or coercion, what was your actual (vs. "it could be called this") for call this a sexual assault?
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 8 p.m.
@ Kyle, Could you please clarify if he was charged with (1)(e) or 1(a), force and coercion only appear in (1)(a) as follows, not (1)(e), or did he do every act contemplated in sections 1(a) through (1)(g) and you are only talking about two of the acts? Your stament implies the original story is wrong suggesting he violated (1)(e), and he actually violated (1)(a). Is your version of the events right or John's? (1) A person is guilty of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree if he or she engages in sexual contact with another person and if any of the following circumstances exist: (a) That other person is at least 13 years of age but less than 16 years of age, and the actor is 5 or more years older than that other person. (b) Force or coercion is used to accomplish the sexual contact. Force or coercion includes, but is not limited to, any of the following circumstances: (i) When the actor overcomes the victim through the actual application of physical force or physical violence. (ii) When the actor coerces the victim to submit by threatening to use force or violence on the victim, and the victim believes that the actor has the present ability to execute that threat.

We appreciate all of the feedback on this story. John Counts already offered some detail for casual news readers about why this story is reported, so I won't repeat them. However, I will emphasize that when a reported crime reaches the courts, this is not about "slander."

"Shame on the Ann Arbor News for ranking this as a "Top Story" -- full color photo and all. If the truth were that this poor guy were CONVICTED of said crime, then maybe it would be fair to destroy his life and professional reputation. But because it is, at this point, based upon an ACCUSATION the sensationalism of reporting it in this way is the biggest crime committed so far. Yes, 'the public has a right to know' --- but practicing shabby tabloid 'journalism' that destroys careers and lives is unfair and unprofessional."
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 6:22 p.m.
perfectly well stated. while the aa.com folks can say it doesn't meet the LEGAL criteria for 'slander' --- the whole 'photo thing' and the absurd "headline" is unfairly destructive and sad. The law -- as I see it -- NO WHERE reads "sexual assault" Soooooo not fair !!

John there is nothing wrong with this article. You are doing your job reporting the facts and people saying this is slander or anything else are misinformed. Articles like this are standard practice for any news organization, and because it must be hitting close to home for some people they are lashing out at you.

As I've explained directly to other comments, we have followed our standard crime reporting procedures here. Let me explain. When we hear about a crime occurring, we report it. If a suspect is taken into custody, we don't immediately release their name. In fact, police do not release the names to us, generally. Even when an arrest warrant is filed, we do not publish the name. The name is only released publicly when the suspect has been arraigned -- or formally charged -- in court. At that time, a booking picture is also released. This is indeed David Falkner's booking picture from the Washtenaw County Jail, which was released to us only because he has been arraigned. We follow this procedure on the majority of crime stories, an exception being if police are actively searching for a wanted suspect and release a name and picture to us to aid their search. We followed this name-released-at-arraignment procedure yesterday when Avantis Parker was arraigned on a homicide charge, for instance. We follow this procedure several times a week, dozens of times a month. It is a practice that has been followed by nearly all media outlets for a very long time. This practice is followed regardless of the suspect's race, sex, background, economic level or standing in the community. As always, being charged does not equate guilt. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I will continue to follow this story as it makes its way through the court system. I am also hoping to get more information from Ann Arbor police about the charges today.

@JRW, your two cases are two of five I asked about last April on the Comments Moderation website ( http://www.annarbor.com/about/annarborcom-conversation-guidelines-comment-moderation/ ). Tony Dearing replied at the time that AnnArbor.com was checking into the male who was climbing outside the hospital and would report back. Nothing. I posed questions about 4 other cases (one of which AnnArbor.com eventually reported on, involving grafitti), and one of which was on Betty Chisholm, the woman who was alleged to have hit the man in the wheelchair. I received no reply to any of these questions, despite Tony Dearing and (I believe) John Counts having contended in the past that AnnArbor.com DOES indeed follow up on cases. For particulars related to my post from last April, and the cases in particular with URL links to the AnnArbor.com stories on the cases, see my postings dated April 27, 2012 at 12:35 PM (and my reply to my own comment) on the Comments Moderation website. Currently, it's on Page 2.

John, I do take exception with one part of what you wrote: "This practice is followed regardless of the suspect's race, sex, background, economic level or standing in the community." I recall several news/crime reports from AA dot com that never listed the identity of the person involved: 1. Young man who scaled the outside of the hospital parking structure and was arrested. No mug shot, no name released. 2. Driver who hit the person in the wheelchair in a crosswalk in downtown AA last summer. Rumor was that the female driver was an "important" member of the community, yet the name was never listed.

again -- why in gods name not wait until you have more valid information to share with the community ???? As in: the age of the 'victim' ??? (an adult) As in: it was an 'inappropriate relationship' -- not an assault or rape ???? again -- when the explanation for the "story" is longer and more thoughtful than the "story" itself --- something' ain't right .....

Blame the public schools for not teaching the kids how the law works. Many folks seem to believe once you are arrested, its up to YOU to prove you are innocent. That you must be guilty of something or you would not have been arrested. Police sometimes do make errors, sometimes witnesses lie, yes, let the doctor have a fair trail but don't blame the press for reporting on the case. Maybe other patients have had sexual contact with this doctor and have yet to report it to the police, maybe not. We have freedom of the press here in the USA. You if you are charged with a crime, the public has a right to know about it and hopefully the public understand you are still presume innocent till the state proves that you are guilty in a court of law.

Why do your editors choose to recast the charges as "sexual assult" in the headline? It's eye-grabbing, but for many readers the first instinct is to think non-consensual, perhaps forcible rape. The charge is criminal sexual conduct - and, if true, the allegations are that. There's a good reason to deter inappropriate relationships with health care providers, and the two year buffer is the law. Consent is not a defense, but your headline is more damaging to the Defendant that it need be at this preliminary stage. Why not: Psychologist Criminally Charged Following Alleged Sexual Relationship With Former Patient."

"Assault" is a loaded word and I wish A2dotcom had been a little more restrained in writing that lead, until there's more information. I think the wording of the statute is important, and A2dotcom shouldn't fall back on a Webster's dictionary defense. A more conservative headline that paid attention to the legal terms would have been better.

If the victim wasn't mentally stable to give consent, then it IS an sexual assault. The law says if you are under a doctors care for a mental health problem then your doctor can not legally have sex with you...even if you beg him

We don't know much about the case. Aa.com is following it's policy of only showing the picture of someone who has been arraigned. There may be a compelling reason to do this, depending on the age of the alleged victim. If the activity started before they were 18 some community members would want to know that.

Two imperfect human beings. Each with an electro-chemically run brain. Genetically programmed over thousands of years and instantly adaptive to a constant bombardment of reality change. Without further detail, this could have been a mind-trap horror story or a true love conquers all of the rules gone bad.story. Either way, it is sad. Kinsey, the once highly touted sex scientist is now considered to have been a rampant pedophile. Freud, the once highly touted psychiatrist was a cocaine head and his genius is now questioned. Hathaway, the once highly honored Michigan Supreme Court Judge recently plead guilty to bank fraud. Professionals entrusted with all of the correct answers are not always perfect human beings.

glenn- This always happens. This, unfortunately, happened to a close friend. He was charged with CSC & his photo was in the newspaper before he was even seen in court. It ruined his & his families lives. He was killed in a car accident before he could stand trial. But, it absolutely crushed him & ruined the last days of his life. So sad that they can publish photos before a person actually appears to court.

A psychologist might counsel some people who have serious emotional and/or personality disorders. Just because a client made accusations, does not mean that they are true.

My implication is that a former member of the AAPS is charged with sexual assault, and according to the complaint has no problem going well beyond what is ethical and legal. You can take that wherever you want. When he (allegedly, of course) decided the law didn't matter, I don't know. I hope it was after he left AAPS. Where he thinks that line belongs, I don't know, but I hope it is this side of a diploma anyway. You mentioned child abuser, I didn't.

Your implication (child molestation?) is a giant leap. The article indicates that the law forbids a relationship with a patient/former patient for at least 2 years. While illegal and unethical, these charges are A LONG WAY from making this guy a child abuser!
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 4:22 p.m.
At least it's formerly.

If he is convicted it will result in loss of his license.
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 1:59 p.m.
Yes, and it absolutely should. Every health care professional needs to understand the power dynamics between provider and patient, and the vulnerability of the patient. If convicted, he should be out of business completely.

I would like to hear the "rest of the story" as Paul Harvey once said.

If the charges are true, Dr. Falkner's actions were egregious. It might not be logical or fair, but I hold health care workers, law enforcement workers, attorneys, and judges to a higher standard than us "regular" people.

So if a police officer ever has sex with an ADULT who they are professionally servicing (say they were a victim of a crime or were in an auto accident) you think they should be forced to wait TWO years to have a relationship with them? The law is stupid. Unless the Dr forced the sex or used some form of drug on her (or him) then it was consensual sex. Also, I want to know how certain professions are now held to some double standard. That is about the most ridiculous un American thing I have ever heard.

I think restaurant workers, students, nuclear physicist and shoe salesmen should be held to a higher standard than us "regular" people. Or everyone can just be treated as regular people who do wrong things either intentionally or unintentionally.

Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 4:21 p.m.
Yes, I agree. And if a politician outed a CIA agent, I'm sure we'd hold them to the same higher standard. Oh, wait....
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 2:37 p.m.
It's fair.
Thu, Feb 7, 2013 : 2:20 p.m.
I agree, and I think we all should. And when a cop breaks the law I also think s/he should be sentenced more severely. Afterall, they are the ones entrusted with upholding the law in the first place.

Intensive hydration in-depth ̶ Protects from split ends ̶ Leaves hair extra smooth and elastic
All hair types need moisturizing, just like our skin! One of the most modern achievements of the Research and Development Department of APIVITA is the creation of a new hair moisturizing range with hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
- Offers immediate moisturizing in-depth without adding weight to the hair.
- Apishield HS complex prevents breakage and split ends.
- Enables combing and reduces frizz.
- Leaves hair light, elastic, shiny and disciplined.
Apply after shampooing for 2-3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
One of the most up to date achievements of the APIVITA Research and Development Department is the creation of a new moisturizing line. In this new line the hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid used, penetrates the hair fiber, so that it provides hydration in-depth, while the common hyaluronic acid acts only on the hair surface. Moreover, aloe, which is considered to be the "plant of immortality", has a high concentration of polysaccharides that keep hair moisturized and are a source of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids. Aloe has excellent moisturizing and conditioning properties. Offers hair elasticity and scalp protection.
Proper hydration ensures the health of both scalp and hair. Proper nutrition combined with the APIVITA moisturizing cream and moisturizing mask can contribute to the good health of the hair.

Herbal Infusion Base
APIVITA replaces water with organic infusions, such as organic rosemary, which add to its products mainly antioxidant properties. Given that most cosmetic products consist of more than 70% water, the base of APIVITA products is rich in antioxidant ingredients. Rosemary infusion is considered the most effective hair anti-aging solution, while at the same time, offers unique revitalization and invigoration. The effectiveness of the infusions chosen each time is scientifically proven.
APISHIELD HS complex
The exclusive, herbal, synergistic APISHIELD HS complex protects the scalp bioflora, strengthens hair defense against environmental effects (pollution, styling), while it reconstructs and strengthens hair. Its authenticity is based on the combination of 7 rare oligosaccharides from cotton honeydew, a prebiotic oligosaccharide and Arginine.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid ensures in-depth hydration in the interior of the hair, acting as a "magnet" able to attract and hold up to 1000 times its weight in moisture.

Jovan Belcher's mother frantic on 911 call as woman died
- Cheryl Shepherd called 911 as Kasandra Perkins, 22, was bleeding on the bathroom floor
- Couple's infant daughter, Zoey, is heard crying in the background
- Shepherd to Perkins: 'The ambulance is on the way. You hear me? You hear me? Kasandra! Stay with me'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The mother of Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher pleaded with 911 dispatchers and her son's dying girlfriend after he shot Kasandra Perkins on Saturday morning.
Cheryl Shepherd called for emergency assistance as Perkins, 22, was bleeding on the bathroom floor of the couple's Crysler Avenue home. In 911 audio obtained by USA TODAY Sports, Shepherd is heard asking dispatchers to send an ambulance to the home.
"She's still breathing but barely," Shepherd says on the tape. "Please hurry."
As Shepherd tries to answer questions from dispatchers, she pleads with Perkins. Shepherd told the dispatchers that Perkins could hear her and responded when she spoke to Perkins.
The couple's infant daughter, Zoey, is heard crying in the background as her grandmother pleads for help.
"Kasandra, stay with me," a frantic and distraught Shepherd says on the tape. "The ambulance is on the way. You hear me? You hear me? Kasandra! Stay with me."
The audio also includes a request for medical attention at the Chiefs' training facility, where Belcher fatally shot himself after he shot Perkins.
"It's a self-inflicted shooting," says a dispatcher on the tape. "They said it's a done deal. They've got a player who shot himself."
Shepherd was in the home when an argument between Belcher and Perkins, his longtime girlfriend, escalated to a violent end just before 8 a.m. on Saturday.
Shepherd does not give any indication on the tape what the couple argued about.
On Tuesday, Kansas City police released more information about Belcher's whereabouts on Friday night. Officers responded to a 911 call at 2:50 a.m. CT about a suspicious car and occupant on the 700 block of East Armour Boulevard.
They found Belcher, 25, asleep in his Bentley. He was cooperative when they woke him and said he was waiting for his girlfriend in the building. Officers asked him to call her, and a woman came to the door of the six-story brick building to let him in.
KCPD did not inquire about her identity. Neighbors identified her to the New York Post as Brittni Glass, who told the newspaper that she was with Belcher that night.

I understand that it has to do with acceleration. Say a pilot does a quick maneuver and experiences a force of 5g. What exactly is happening here?
And what is this force relative to?
If someone can show an example with some calculations that would be really helpful.
Thank you

Washington (AFP) - Violence in Iraq could delay the delivery of American F-16 fighter jets to the Baghdad government after contractors had to be evacuated from a key air base, the Pentagon said Monday.
Although the United States is moving to expedite the delivery of weapons and ammunition to the Iraqi government as it battles Sunni extremists, volatile conditions on the ground threaten to disrupt preparations for the F-16 jets, spokesman Colonel Steven Warren told reporters.
Private contractors working on the F-16 program at Balad airbase were recently moved to a safer location in Baghdad because of the threat posed by advancing Sunni militants.
"They (contractors) are no longer operating in Balad. So it will have an impact. It's too soon to tell exactly what that impact is," Warren said.
His comments came as Iraq took delivery of a first batch of Sukhoi Su-25 fighter aircraft from Russia, but the Pentagon insisted Moscow's move would not derail Washington's arms sales to Baghdad.
"The Iraqi purchase of Russian military equipment does not affect the Iraqi purchase of American military equipment," said Warren, adding: "We are continuing with our foreign military sales program to Iraq."
He rejected criticism from some Iraqi leaders that the United States was purposely stalling the delivery of badly needed weapons or aircraft, including the F-16s.
"We are very aware of the critical need that Iraq has for advanced weapons. We are working as quickly as possible to ensure that they receive all the foreign military sales that they have requested and that they paid for," he said.
"We don't believe our process is any slower and more deliberate than it needs to be."
However, all arms sales have to be vetted to comply with rules about safeguarding the transfer of some sensitive military technology, he said.
The United States has provided 400 out of 500 Hellfire missiles recently purchased by Iraq, and the final 100 missiles would arrive in Baghdad with a few weeks, he said.
And the Pentagon continues to supply Iraqi forces with small arms and ammunition that are of "immediate" use, he added.
The Defense Department plans to sell Iraq up to 24 Apache attack helicopters as well, but Baghdad has not yet paid for the choppers, according to Warren.
The key to resolving the conflict in Iraq was not supplying Baghdad with weapons but instead forging a political settlement addressing the country's sectarian tensions, he said.
"The solution to this problem is an inclusive government, not firepower," he said.

Actually, it's more like phase-based horde combat was easy to implement in text and abstract space whereas 3D rendering of such combat is, with today's consumer technology, very, very difficult.
I would have preferred phase-based in BTIV, especially given what I've seen so far indicating that it is very possible now that combat is a much smaller scale. You queue up the actions, you hit go, and all antagonists roll initiative and act. And if that means you waste your actions on a foe that died on the alpha strike, that's phase-based combat.

City Council
Grand Junction was founded in 1882. In 1921 the citizens of Grand Junction voted to employ the Council-Manager form of government, which became popular in the early part of the 20th century. This system combines the political leadership of elected officials with the managerial expertise of an appointed local government manager. The members of the City Council are elected by the citizens of Grand Junction to make policy decisions and laws, similar to a board of directors in a private company.
The City's guiding document is the City Charter. The City Charter sets out the structure of the City government, including the powers and duties of the City Council and the City Manager, along with general guidelines for the operations of the City. The Charter, which can only be amended by the people in a municipal election, was first adopted on September 14, 1909. On November 8, 1921 the Charter was amended to adopt the Council-Manager form of government.
The goal of a Council-Manager form of government is to separate the administrative functions of the city government from the political process. The administrative aspects of the organization are run by professional staff members trained in government administration.
The Grand Junction City Council is comprised of seven community members – five of whom are elected from and represent certain City districts – and two that are elected at-large. Elections are held every other April in odd numbered years, and the Mayor is selected from among the City Councilmembers each May.
The City Council meets at 5:30 PM in the City Hall Auditorium on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, and holds workshops on Mondays preceding the official meetings. Please refer to the upcoming City Council meeting schedule for the most up-to-date information.
You can send a group email to City Council or you can leave them a recorded voice message at (970) 244-1504. To better serve you, City Council encourages you to leave contact information if you do leave a voicemail message. Individual email addresses can be found on the Councilmember Bios page.

Last night (Monday, January 26) the volunteers of the San Antonio Museum of Art and the San Antonio Symphony League presented their 10th annual joint fundraiser–MUSIC & MUSEUM X. It was a delightful event, with the open galleries, delicious appetizers, silent auction and wonderful music. Many Symphony musicians (and a few non-symphony players) donated their time to offer chamber music in the Great Hall and played for more than 200 patrons.
I thought the highlight of the program was the brass music by Gabrieli played by an expanded San Antonio Brass. Not only was it well played, but the lively acoustics were perfect for this repertoire.
Giovanni Gabrieli was born around 1554 in Italy. He was the organist and composer for St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. His musical style was part of a tradition that was dictated, in part, by the church itself. Gabrieli would array different forces around the building and the unique acoustics made for great effect. At the San Antonio Museum of Art, the San Antonio Brass was divided into two groups of four musicians facing each other across the Great Hall. The San Antonio Brass will be offering three concerts of Gabrieli's music in the near future:
Beacon Hill Presbyterian Church
1101 W. Woodlawn, San Antonio TX

i decided to rent the first season of true blood and watched it pretty much in 2 days (the only way to watch a series, really). i absolutely love the southern / louisiana setting (obviously romanticised, this is television after all). anyhoos, who wouldn't want to live in an old plantation home surrounded by giant live oak trees, sitting on the porch in just shorts & a vest, fanning yourself, drinking home-made lemonade and eating pecan pie?
flickr credits: christine / hoeysbasindrainageallia / blue cinderella / lanihuli /john pc
ps: i highly recommend watching true blood. it's dark, gritty, funny and gory – with plenty of explicit sex scenes. the opening credits should give you some idea of what to expect:

Runners are running out of time to register for the Chicago Marathon lottery.
Registration for the marathon's lottery system, in place this year after years of first-come, first-serve registration, closes at noon Monday. The Oct. 12 race will be capped at 45,000 runners.
A marathon spokeswoman wouldn't say how many people have signed up for the lottery system, which opened March 19 after a two-week delay to test the online system.
The marathon will notify runners April 14 if they won the lottery.
Runners who want guaranteed entry into the race can sign up to run for a charity.
Upon winning the lottery, registration costs $185 for U.S. residents and $210 for runners outside the U.S.

As many of you know, when the library switched to its new catalog system about a month ago the genealogy databases such as ancestry.com were no longer accessible from the three IPAQ terminals in the genealogy department. That problem has now been fixed and all genealogy databases are now accessible from all terminals in the department. The process of getting to them from the iPAQ terminals is a bit different, however. Instructions on how to get to the databases will be located next to the those terminals... it's not difficult, just different.
Thanks to Geri Malham for her efforts in getting this all working again.
By the way, all of the genealogy databases are accessible from all Internet terminals and PCs in the library. The consultant at the genealogy desk can give you instructions on how to use those other library workstations if you need to.

Vanamo Kide Routa contains 30 % linen, 30 % merino wool and 40 % GOTS certified organic cotton. Kide Routa is weaved with dark grey, deep blue and black. The color changes with different lightning: sometimes it is almost steel-grey, other times the deep dark blue becomes more apparent. Vanamo woven wraps are made from pure organic cotton, high quality Italian linen and easycare superwash merino wool.
Kide cotton-linen-wool wrap combines all the good qualities of linen and wool. The linen gives strength and great support - wool offers softness & elasticity. Kide weave is diagonally elastic which means that the baby wrap gives optimum support for the baby and feels comfortable for both the wearer and the child. Linen and wool are breathable & thermoregulating materials. This wrap works great in hot and humid climates. And it feels equally comforting in the chilly autumn and winter days. This thick wrap is great for heavy babies and toddlers. A new wrap can feel a little stiff at first but the fabric will soften up quite quickly when you start using it.
The word "kide" means ice chrystals and the Kide pattern was inspired by the traditional hand woven Finnish linen textiles. The Kide weave is a complex mixture of twill and tabby weaves which create the unique stuctured, porous and comfortable weave. Kide pattern is designed by textile designer Katja Hynninen.
Sizes: 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8. The measurements for each size and tips for choosing the correct size can be found here.
40 % organic cotton (GOTS)
30 % Italian Linen (Masters of Linen)
30 % Merino Wool (Superwash, Germany)
