ISLAMABAD • American drone strikes inside Pakistan are killing far fewer civilians than many in the country are led to believe, according to a rare on-the-ground investigation by The Associated Press of 10 of the deadliest attacks in the past 18 months.
The widespread perception in Pakistan that civilians, not militants, are the principal victims — a view that is fostered by leading right-wing politicians, clerics and the fighters themselves — fuels pervasive anti-American sentiment and, some argue, has swelled the ranks of al-Qaida and the Taliban.

But an AP reporter who spoke to about 80 villagers at the sites of the 10 attacks in North Waziristan, the main sanctuary for militants in Pakistan's northwest tribal region along the Afghan border, was told that a significant majority of the dead were combatants.
Indeed, the AP was told by the villagers that of at least 194 people killed in the attacks, about 70 percent — at least 138 — were militants. The remaining 56 were either civilians or tribal police, and 38 of them were killed in a single attack on March 17, 2011.
Excluding that strike, which inflicted one of the worst civilian death tolls since the drone program started in Pakistan, nearly 90 percent of the people killed were militants, villagers said.
But the civilian deaths in the covert CIA-run program raise legal and ethical concerns, especially given Washington's reluctance to speak openly about the strikes or compensate the families of innocent victims.
U.S. officials who were shown the AP's findings rejected the accounts of any civilian casualties but declined to be quoted by name or make their own information public.
The U.S. has carried out at least 280 attacks since 2004 in Pakistan's tribal region. The area is dangerous and off-limits to most reporters, and death tolls from the strikes usually rely on reports from Pakistani intelligence agents speaking on condition of anonymity.
The numbers gathered by the AP turned out to be very close to those given by Pakistani intelligence on the day of each strike, the main difference being that the officials often did not distinguish between militants and civilians.
The AP breakdown paints a much different picture from that advanced by important Pakistani opinion-shapers.
Syed Munawar Hasan, head of the country's most powerful Islamist party, Jamaat-e-Islami, recently claimed on TV that the strikes "are killing nearly 100 percent innocent people."
Imran Khan, a popular opposition politician close to some right-wing Islamic groups, addressed a cheering crowd last April and said: "Those who lie to the nation after every drone attack and say terrorists were killed should be ashamed."
He called for journalists and activists to go to the tribal region to see that the strikes were killing civilians, not militants.
Some analysts have been skeptical about carrying out on-the-ground investigations, assuming villagers would follow the militants' narrative of high civilian death tolls to avoid reprisals. But the AP study showed otherwise. While some villagers spoke on condition of anonymity saying they feared for their safety, others let their names be published.
Many knew the dead civilians personally. They also said one way to distinguish civilians from militants was by counting funerals, because the bodies of dead militants would usually be whisked away for burial elsewhere.
An attack near Miran Shah before dawn on Aug. 10, 2011, was one of six on the AP's list in which villagers said no civilians died.
A drone fired missiles at a large brick compound, killing at least 20 Afghan and Pakistani Taliban fighters, said Sajjad Ali, a local driver. The compound hit was known as a rest house for militants run by the Haqqani network, an Afghan group focused on fighting foreign troops in Afghanistan, he said.
The charred bodies were hastily buried in a graveyard more than a mile (2 kilometers) away, said Ali, who spoke to several people who attended the burial. Those who attended were not allowed to see the victims' faces, he said.
A second man who spoke to people who attended the burial confirmed Ali's account. He requested anonymity.Next Page >

Chevrolet first used the Z-Spec name at the 2010 SEMA Show where they revealed the Volt Z-Spec , the Spark Z-Spec , and the Cruze Z-Spec . Continuing their use of the name at the Detroit Auto Show comes the new Sonic Z-Spec Concept. Not many details have been revealed on the concept as of yet, but Chevrolet has confirmed that it showcases a family of factory-engineered accessories and the best of the aftermarket under a single design theme.
The concept's exterior is distinguished by a massive rear-deck spoiler, an orange paint scheme, and eighteen-inch multi-spoke BBS wheels. The interior is also defined by the same orange color scheme, as well as new Recaro seats covered in tan leather. Other minor adjustments for the inside include a billet shift knob and flat-bottom steering wheel cap.
The powertrain for the concept is still being kept under wraps, but we expect it to carry the same 1.4L turbo engine with maybe some tweaks here and there. We do know that Chevrolet has added a new K&N filter and Borla exhaust to help bump up whatever output the concept is delivering.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Mark Ratcliff just bought five pigs on Monday. When he went to check on them Tuesday morning, they were gone.The pigs got loose through a hole in the fence. Four pigs moseyed on down the street and into the nearest market.These pigs are not dangerous, and although it was unusual to see them at the market, there was certainly no panic."We started chasing after them," said Kelcey Pederson with Ruhlig Farms and Gardens.Ratcliff with the help of the workers at Ruhlig's and Brownstown Township Police were able to get the four pigs safely home that were in the market.The fifth pig went off on his own, but he was rescued and returned, as well.Ratcliff has already made the necessary repairs to his fence so the pigs do not make any more runs to the market.

Government of Canada invests in Dandelion Festival
The citizens of North Grenville and beyond will once again enjoy the Dandelion Festival, a free celebration taking place from May 27 to 29, 2011, and including performances by local musicians, street performers, and dancers; exhibits by local artisans and crafters; and historical walks and performances. More than 115 artists will take part in the lively three-day festival, which will count on the support of about 175 volunteers.
"Participation in local artistic events is a great way to bring communities together and showcase local cultural talent," said Minister Moore. "Our Government is pleased to be associated with activities like the Dandelion Festival that enrich citizens' lives and strengthen the local economy."
"Through its investment in culture, our Government is enabling citizens to enjoy their shared local arts and heritage," said Mr. Brown. "Thanks to this support, the Dandelion Festival can present artistic activities that appeal to audiences of all ages and promote artists and artisans from the North Grenville region."
"With the support of the Government of Canada, our festival will showcase North Grenville's tremendous home-grown talent, both on the stage and in the streets," said Brent Kelaher, Dandelion Festival Coordinator. "This annual event encourages residents young and old to get involved in their community, while stimulating tourism and providing important exposure opportunities for local artists, artisans, musicians, and businesses."
The Dandelion Festival North Grenville is a local, incorporated organization whose mandate is to promote and celebrate local arts and culture, including the planning and production of the Dandelion Festival.
The Government of Canada has provided funding of $13,500 through the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. This program provides Canadians with more opportunities to take part in activities that present local arts and culture and celebrate local history and heritage.

Although our city practically shut down during the two recent winter storms, LifeLine Animal Project still had many animals needing care at our three shelters (LifeLine's shelter and Dekalb and Fulton County Animal Services shelters). Thanks to the commitment of some very special employees, they all received the care they needed.
Even before the storm, some employees worked extra hard caring for Atlanta's animals and trying to protect them from the cold. Knowing the storm was approaching, LifeLine's outreach team worked fervently, delivering dog houses and hay to animals needing shelter and persuading pet owners to bring their animals inside.
And when the first storm hit, many employees spent the night at the shelters, knowing there was no human food available, but wanting to make sure the animals were cared for. These employees handled animals still recovering from spay/neuter surgeries, cleaned cages, fed dogs and cats, cleaned the kennels and barns and worked double shifts, since other employees were unable to drive into work.
And when the second storm hit, employees were at it again! A Fulton County Animal Services Kennel Supervisor spent three nights sleeping on an air mattress and brought in air mattresses for other employees; the DeKalb County Animal Services Kennel Supervisor walked three miles on ice to make it to the shelter early in the morning; and LifeLine's Cat Rehabilitation Director Mickie Blair walked two miles on ice to LifeLine's shelter to reach her beloved cats. LifeLine is proud that we have a wonderful team of employees who will always be there to care for the animals!

Nadia De Leon, Ed.D.
Director of Service-Learning
Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
Stanford University
Graduated: 2010
Tell me a bit about your career.
I worked at WKU's ALIVE Center for Community Partnership while earning an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. In 2013, I moved to continue the same line of work at Stanford University, specifically with the faculty and students in the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity, which houses programs in Comparative Studies, Chicano/Latino Studies, Native-American Studies, Asian-American Studies, Jewish Studies, and works closely with the African and African-American Studies Program. I coordinate and support engaged scholarship opportunities, including service-learning, internships, and community-based research; mostly with local communities, but also abroad.
How has folklore prepared you for your career?
Folklore helps me frame all of my work as a theoretical lens and as a set of practical tools. My background in folklore helps me understand and work with communities, and the knowledge I gained from courses and internships in public folklore prepared me for educational and organizational tasks, including grant writing and curriculum development, as well as shaped my awareness of community needs. Folklore has prepared me well for a career in the educational and community development fields, as well as the many other initiatives I am involved in, particularly in cultural sustainability and arts education. I am interested in researching and understanding folklore, but also invested in finding ways in which a community's traditions can help sustain or improve its quality of life.

Scenario 1: Partitioning for optimal performance
Partitions are the core objects of the data storage system on hard disks, SSDs and flash media. Their optimal configuration increases data security, speeds up all file system operations and allows you to place your data according to your demands.
Instead of placing all data, applications and the operating system on one partition, split it into several different partitions, change the file system type and redistribute the data. You can place operating system and applications on one volume, documents on other and media files on third. With several volumes it will be easier to service the file system, back up data and keep it safe.
Scenario 2: Be prepared to restore everything back exactly like it was
Creating archives of partitions is the best way to secure your software environment -- including the operating system, applications and data. Full copies of disks and partitions will allow you to recover your system to a working state within several minutes. Place your archives where you want them: internal or external hard disk, FTP/SFTP server, a special environment or on optical media.
Scenario 3: Protect your important data
Create both sector-level images of partitions and file-level archives of your files and folders. All file archives can form a chain of additions, thus granting the ability to reverse file changes or recover documents when disaster strikes.
Scenario 4: Take advantage of SSD drives
Thinking about upgrading to a new Solid State Drive (SSD)? Paragon's Hard Disk Manager is just what you need. Its handy intuitive Migrate OS to SSD wizard performs fast and safe Windows migrations to new storage devices (HDD or SSD). You can move data to SSD with redundant data exclusion, allowing issue-free downsize to a smaller capacity drive.
Scenario 5: Don't forget to perform secure wiping
As your devices age, you will someday decide to get rid of them. You may sell, donate or simply throw away used computers, disk drives and removable media, but not before you wipe all your data. Even if you delete files and re-format disks, the data they contain can easily be recovered with help of special utilities. To secure sensitive information, the Hard Disk Manager Wipe wizard can help easily and securely delete data from any type of storage media.
Scenario 6: Create a bootable backup capsule for disaster recovery
Create a Backup Capsule on one of your disks. This special partition is not only the safest place to store archived images, but can also be augmented with a special bootable recovery environment. If your system refuses to start, you can just boot from the Backup Capsule to perform recovery operations or simply copy important data.
Scenario 7: Make your system bootable on different hardware or in a virtual environment
Hard Disk Manager makes your system bootable when migrating to new hardware by automatically injecting the required drivers into your operating system. If you unsuccessfully virtualized your system with a third-party tool and it was unbootable, the problem can be easily resolved.
Scenario 8: Continue using your old PC's applications in a virtual environment
When it's time to upgrade to a new PC and operating system, you may find that some of your favorite applications haven't yet been updated. Using Hard Disk Manager, you can make a virtual clone of your old system before migrating to a new computer. Take advantage of an up-to-date powerful computer while still having access to favorite applications from your old computer.
Scenario 9: Fully functional disaster recovery and disk management utilities in your pocket
Use Hard Disk Manager any time you need it. Create bootable media on CD, DVD or Flash. These handy, portable versions of recovery environments are especially useful in case of disaster recovery, bare metal installation or system migration.
Scenario 10: Try our new enhanced backup format - pVHD and Universal Image Mounter (UIM)
Paragon introduces a pVHD (Paragon Virtual Hard Drive) format – a special VHD, optimized for storing backups of virtual and physical machines. It's very efficient in handling incremental chains, data de-duplication and synchronization. pVHD allows obtaining backups that are up to four times smaller than original backup objects. Apart from PBF images, Universal Image Mounter coming with HDM 14 enables to mount pVHD backup images to browse their contents and retrieve data both, in the program and directly under Windows OS.
Scenario 11: Solve boot problems of uEFI+GPT configurations
Paragon has a better way! Introducing an elegant technology, realized at the user side as one simple option, you can define a system GPT volume you're willing to boot from.
Scenario 12: Copy/Restore to Dissimilar Sector Size
Previously not allowed, now you can for instance copy or restore contents of a 512-byte hard disk to a 4k hard disk with no additional actions from your side.
Scenario 13: Enjoy Windows Storage Spaces Support
HDM 14 completely supports Windows storage spaces.
The high-end all-in-one solution for hard disk management!

Practice? NFL players, coaches feel pinchBy BARRY WILNER
the associated press | July 24,2013AP file Photo
Denver Broncos running backs Ronnie Hillman, left, and Montee Ball run during practice at NFL football minicamp at the teams training facility in Englewood, Colo. on June 13.Looking perplexed, Tom Coughlin stood on the field watching a minicamp practice. No pads, no real blocking, no power football for the New York Giants, as mandated by the labor agreement between the league and the players.
Its difficult enough when the players can hit each other to evaluate whether NFL wannabes have what it takes, or if veterans still can carry the load pro football demands. Now, with lots of offseason availabilities but virtually no contact allowed, followed by training camps in which two-a-days are outlawed unless one practice is a walk-through, the appraisal process wont get much easier.
Well, it is pro football. It is the way it is today, Coughlin says.
Success has to be built, he says, by doing a good job with our evaluations bringing the right people in here and getting them integrated into our offense, defense and special teams, the way we do things, what our expectation levels are, what our values are. And the more we can be with them and around them, then the better you are going to feel about it.
Coaches and players will be around each other plenty over the next month, whether its in training camps or at exhibition games, or back at the home facilities when teams that go away early in camp return as the regular season approaches. Tons of classroom study is ahead, even for teams whose offensive and defensive schemes have been established for years. Lots of breakout sessions with position coaches, too. Enough video watching to, well, make your eyes spin.
And not all that much time on the practice fields.
No contact or pads are allowed during the first three days of camp, with the reporting date limited to physical exams, meetings and classroom work. Running and conditioning is allowed.
Throughout training camp, players cant be on the field for more than four hours per day; only one practice a day can be in pads and is restricted to three hours or less, followed by a three-hour break; and players get one day off per week.
That all makes for a safer game, but how can newcomers make a sharp impact?
Denver running back Montee Ball felt he already did so even without a ball in his hands.
I made sure to leave a little impression on the conditioning test ... the record-setting second-round draft pick from Wisconsin said. I just want them to remember that I came in working since Day 1, and I really attacked the playbook since Day 1. I made a lot of progress with it.
Ball will get a shot at being a starter for the Broncos after veteran Willis McGahee was cut. Its much more difficult for lower draft picks or rookie free agents to get long looks these days, though it does happen.
Alfred Morris came out of Florida Atlantic of the not-so-mighty Sun Belt Conference as a sixth-round pick last year. He ran around, over and through just about everyone but Mike Shanahan last spring and summer in Washington, and the Redskins not only kept him, they started him. Morris rushed for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns and helped the Skins make the playoffs.
Alfreds a beast, Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan says. I think one guy or about three guys all year tackled him on the first tackle. That guy runs as hard as anyone Ive ever seen. Most of his yards came on outside zone, not the zone read, so Alfred is as good of a back as Ive ever had. Hes the real deal.
But discovering the real deal is even more of a chore with practice time in pads and scrimmaging so limited compared to before 2011. The players association insisted on the cutbacks during CBA negotiations, and with player safety a major issue, the NFL agreed.
Doug Casa, professor of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut and the lead researcher for the Korey Stringer Institute, already has seen many health benefits resulting from the 2011 CBA.
A leader in heat illness detection and prevention, Casa advised the league and the players union on establishing practice guidelines during the hottest time of the year.
For certain, 2011 was the first real opportunity to make changes since Korey, he said, referring to Vikings offensive tackle Korey Stringer dying from complications due to heat stroke on Aug. 1, 2001 during training camp. At 27, he was the first professional football player to die from the illness. After the CBA, when they overhauled the heat guidelines, did away with two-a-day practices, modified some heat treatment recommendations, it created a safer environment.
Even as coaches praise such developments, they also bemoan all those snaps and blocks and tackles that have disappeared.
Its cut down on the opportunities to see them in those situations, says Browns first-year head coach Rob Chudzinski, a long-time offensive assistant in the league. By the same token I think the preseason games are so important as well in that process, but you do ... only get them so many times in pads and hitting anyway. It puts a premium on the reps that they do get.
But the coaches also recognize everyone plays by the same set of rules.
Its a level playing field, so theres no difference between our team and every other team, Jets coach Rex Ryan says. But there are other things that you do. I think having opportunity days where maybe at the end of practice you put the ball down and you let the young guys go at it. Youre going to see them in preseason games as well. Thats why those games are critical, (as well as) the green-and-white scrimmage. Even if we have to create our own live scrimmage situations, theyll have the opportunity to show what they can do.
Theyd better do so quickly.
