NEW YORK | Andrew Neitlich is the last person you'd expect to be rattled by the stock market.
He once worked as a financial analyst picking stocks for a mutual fund. He has huddled with dozens of CEOs in his current career as an executive coach. During the dot-com crash 12 years ago, he kept his wits and did not sell.
But he's selling now.
"You have to trust your government. You have to trust other governments. You have to trust Wall Street," said Neitlich, 47. "And I don't trust any of these."
Defying decades of investment history, ordinary Americans are selling stocks for a fifth year in a row. The selling has not let up despite unprecedented measures by the Federal Reserve to persuade people to buy and the come-hither allure of a levitating market. Stock prices have doubled from March 2009, their low point in the Great Recession.
It's the first time ordinary folks have sold during a sustained bull market since relevant records were first kept during World War II, an examination by The Associated Press has found. The AP analyzed money flowing into and out of stock funds of all kinds, including relatively new exchange-traded funds, which investors like because of their low fees.
"People don't trust the market anymore," said financial historian Charles Geisst of Manhattan College. He said a "crisis of confidence" similar to one after the Crash of 1929 will keep people away from stocks for a generation or more.
The implications for the economy and living standards are unclear but potentially big. If the pullback continues, some experts say, it could lead to lower spending by companies, slower U.S. economic growth and perhaps lower gains for those who remain in the market.
Since they started selling in April 2007, eight months before the start of the Great Recession, individual investors have pulled at least $380 billion from U.S. stock funds, a category that includes both mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, according to estimates by the AP. That is the equivalent of all the money they put into the market in the previous five years.
Selling during both a downturn and a recovery is unusual because Americans almost always buy more than they sell during both.
Since World War II, nine recessions besides the Great Recession have been followed by recoveries lasting at least three years. According to data from the Investment Company Institute, a trade group representing investment funds, individual investors sold during and after only one of those previous downturns — the one from November 1973 through March 1975. And back then a scary stock drop around the start of the recovery's third year, 1977, gave people ample reason to get out of the market.
The unusual pullback this time has spread to other big investors — public and private pension funds, investment brokerages and state and local governments. These groups have sold a total of $861 billion more than they have bought since April 2007, according to the Federal Reserve.
Even foreigners, big purchasers in recent years, are selling now — $16 billion in the 12 months through September.
As these groups have sold, much of the stock buying has fallen to companies. They've bought $656 billion more than they have sold since April 2007. Companies are mostly buying their own stock.
On Wall Street, the investor revolt has largely been dismissed as temporary. But doubts are creeping in.
A Citigroup research report sent to customers concludes that the "cult of equities" that fueled buying in the past has little chance of coming back soon. Investor blogs speculate about the "death of equities," a line from a famous BusinessWeek cover story in 1979, another time many people had seemingly given up on stocks. Financial analysts lament how the retreat by Main Street has left daily stock trading at low levels.

Chile's central bank probably will keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged for a third straight month today after raising its forecasts for inflation and economic growth in the world's top copper producer.
Policy makers, led by central bank President Rodrigo Vergara, will keep the overnight rate at 5 percent, according to 18 of 19 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. One economist forecast a quarter-point increase to 5.25 percent. The bank will announce its decision after 6:00 p.m. local time.
The bank raised its inflation and growth forecasts this month after price increases surpassed the upper limit of the bank's target range in December, January and February and growth exceeded analyst forecasts twice in the past three months. Scotiabank Chile economist Benjamin Sierra said the higher forecasts and "hawkish" tone taken by policy makers at the March meeting make a second rate cut in 2012 unlikely.
"These guys have no intention of moving the rate from where it is," Sierra said by telephone from Santiago. "It would be madness to think of reducing the rate now."
Economists polled monthly by the central bank have changed their outlook from a February forecast for a rate reduction in the next 11 months to an April estimate for increases over the same time frame. One-year interest rate swaps, which reflect traders' view of borrowing costs, climbed to 5.24 percent yesterday from 4.68 percent on Feb. 14.
The bank targets inflation of 3 percent with a 1 percentage point margin of error over a two-year horizon.
Changing Stance
Policy makers at last month's meeting only considered keeping rates unchanged after debating a quarter-point reduction in February, minutes of the meeting show.
"All the board members expressed their concern about the inflation outlook," policy makers said, according to the minutes published on the bank's website March 30. "However, they also agreed that the risks from the external scenario remained significant."
The central bank on April 3 raised its 2012 inflation forecast to 3.5 percent from the 2.7 percent estimate made in December. Inflation in March eased to 3.8 percent, less than analysts had forecast, from 4.4 percent the month before.
Policy makers on April 3 also raised estimates for gross domestic product growth this year to a range of 4 percent to 5 percent from the previous forecast for a 3.75 percent to 4.75 percent.
Economic growth, measured by the bank's Imacec index that acts as a proxy for GDP, surged 6.9 percent in December from the previous year, 5.5 percent in January and 6.1 percent in February.
Regional Strength
The Andean nation's expansion is set to exceed global growth, which is forecast by the central bank at 3.3 percent this year. GDP growth among Chile's trading partners will be 3.8 percent, the bank forecasts.
Chile's economic surge is part of a regional trend, with Peru's economy expected to grow 5 percent this year, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts, and Colombia's government forecasting an expansion of more than 5 percent.
Latin American central banks have taken a mixed approach to weakening global growth, with Brazil cutting rates, Mexico keeping them on hold and Colombia raising twice in the year to date. Chile has the third-highest borrowing costs of major rate- setting economies in the region after Brazil and Colombia.
Policy makers in Latin America should take steps to sustain liquidity if global financial instability resumes rather than cutting borrowing costs to boost demand, according to the International Monetary Fund's top official for the region.
"Economies have enough stamina to grow at about potential growth without idle capacity," Nicolas Eyzaguirre, director of the fund's Western Hemisphere department, said in an April 12 interview. "Central banks should be very careful not to over- stimulate the economy."

Police A109E hits mountain
The AgustaWestland A109E, owned by the New Mexico State Department of Public Safety and operated by the New Mexico State Police, had just rescued a lost hiker after a search near Baldy Mountain and was returning to Sante Fe when it collided with the side of a mountain in IMC shortly before dusk on June 9. Clouds, strong gusty winds, heavy rain and sleet were reported in the area at the time of the crash. The helicopter continued to fly for approximately one minute after initial impact before making a hard landing and rolling 800 feet down a rocky hillside, ejecting the pilot and the hiker, who both died. A state police spotter on board survived with serious injuries.

The world according to hard alcohol
Lots of people like a bit of liquor every now and again, but that doesn't mean they agree on what to fill the glass with. The only liquors considered were the six most common worldwide: whiskey, vodka, tequila, rum, gin, and brandy. Regional and country-specific hard alcoholsâlike, say baiju in the case of Chinaâwere not…
A very nice visualization of this, even if I'm not much of a vodka drinker.

Elixr App
If you've got an iPhone or an iPad, you should check out Elixr, which allows you to check into cocktails in different venues and rate them. It's a little bit of a mashup of a location based service with a ratings one. The app is super easy to use and has some really nice quick and easy to use features. The only downside is that the only way to find friends is to provide access to your Facebook feed.

I've read about bespoke gin in London, and now along comes Alchemist Dreams with their handmade offerings. You can go through and choose either house blends, or take your own spin by choosing among flavors. You start with fruit (e.g. blackberry, raspberry, lime) then add flavors like juniper, clove or wormwood.

"First, the mindfulness-seeking bartenders in the workshop are asked to make a Negroni. The ingredients (gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari) have been measured out in advance. Moments later, the same bartenders are instructed to make a Negroni again, with the exact same ingredients, only this time with a twist: They must close their eyes for a minute and simply think about someone they love. That second Negroni is supposed to be conjured up with that object of affection in mind. "And that one always tastes better than the first," Mr. Regan said. "You'd be amazed at how well this works. It makes a tangible difference. It just does.""
Awesome article. I think in one of our LARC meetings we need to try this.

Thanks for the reply, JD. I am still contemplating between the Ultra and the one you had. I need the ambi safety as Im a lefty. I was thinking for carry the Ultra would be more comfortable. Im in Florida so not alot of jackets ,heavy shirts and such most of the year.
Be sure to check out both the Kimber Pro CDP ll and Compact CDP ll.
Im going to look at the longer one .the 4" model. Its a toss up between the two. I t fits my hsnd s lot better than the Ultra.
I have a Compact II. It's the same size as the Raptor but only half the price. After a few thousand rounds my Compact smoothed way out. If it was me, I'd get the Compact II and a couple of cases of ammo.

Putting Your iPad Movie on the Big Screen
You want to watch that movie on your iPad on the big screen, but don't want to connect long cables to the TV. What to do?
A lot of wireless device-to-television devices are expensive (some run to $1,000). But Eric Govoruhk and Kelly McAteer, two tinkerers, have found that it's easy to build your own.
They used an Apple Digital AV Adapter to get video from the iPad to a wireless HDMI transmitter. That sends the video to a wireless receiver connected to the TV. Total cost: about $275.
Govoruhk and McAteer bought components so they could build a self-contained device, but if you don't want to tinker that much you can just tape them to the back of your iPad (or, for movie watching, leave it on the table).

Back to the Future II & III
|Developer: Beam Software
|Publisher: LJN
|Release Date: 1990
|Also On: None
Now, before you get caught up in the previous review, please keep in mind that this game has nothing to do with the first NES Back to the Future title. It's a totally different game with a totally different direction. I remember when it first came out to meek reviews in Game Pro, where it looked like total crap. After finally taking the time to give it a proper playing, I have to say Back to the Future II & III is basically total crap because of one, huge, incredibly annoying detail.
Back to the Future II & III has hideous graphics. The story section does its job, but the game proper looks really weird. It has that typical, dark, 'Beam Software' feel with lots of odd creatures everywhere. Seriously, what in the world am I supposed to be looking at? Why am I being attacked by hamburgers, green worms, trash cans, and flying cameras? What in the hell does this have to do with anything? The backgrounds look fine, but they're pretty repetitive, and this becomes a big issue during play. Marty is another problem. He looks more like a greaser and has this really goofy, unlicensed design to his walk. Looks like a Color Dreams character, in fact, so that's all you need to know. Overall, the graphics do their job, but they could have been much better. I have to say in spite of how awful the first Back to the Future looked, at least it seemed to relate to the film. Many times in Back to the Future II & III you'll be scratching your head.
The sound, however, is slightly better in Back to the Future II & III. It's kind of catchy, though dark and weird for the most part. For 1955 you get the expected 'rock-and-roll' track, for 1985 it's this eerie sort-of thing, and the future is just strange altogether. Still, not necessarily bad. The sound effects are okay, could have been better in some cases, but overall they do their job. If you're familiar with Nightshade, you'll recognize a ton of them. It probably would have been a good idea to try to duplicate the songs from the movies, but whatever.
The gameplay is where Back to the Future II & III almost shines. In fact, if it weren't for a critical flaw, this area alone could have made it enjoyable. So, it does at least follow the general plot of the second and third films. Not sure why they threw them together. Anyway, Marty finds that Biff has ruined everything. You need to access Back to the Future III by first completing II. To do this, Marty has to move around various streets in 1955, 1985, and 2015 in order to find items and place them in various locations. You eventually come across the remote for the Delorian, which you can use to move from the different time periods and access other streets. It's thus almost identical to The Goonies II. On usually every street there's some item to find and then a hidden puzzle room where you have to unscramble a series of letters to discover which item to put where. There are a number of bonus levels where you can collect extra lives and fuel to different time periods. Otherwise, you can collect the majority of these items from different enemies. When find items rooms, you have to complete a variety of mini-games. After you collect them all and place them all where they need to go, you can then access Back to the Future III, which is essentially the same thing but only consists of a small number of streets and is easier to navigate. Check it all out here:
Back to the Future II & III completely lacks any password or save feature. That's right, if you want to complete this game you have to sit down for a long time, and I mean really long. There is so much to do it's shocking. You end up getting a secret password that allows you to start fat Back to the Future III once you complete II, but in this part is so much shorter it's almost an insult that they waited. What a horrible way to ruin a game, you really won't understand until you sit down and try it.
I had a bit fun playing Back to the Future II & III until I realized how damn long it was. I came back to this game time and time again because it's easy to play, the controls are fluid, and it's got a lot going for it. The only problem is that it first took me about six whole hours to just map the dang game (including item locations, solving the puzzles, etc.), and then about another six hours to actually try to complete it. If you cheat with a Game Genie you can cut it down, but it's still a lot more time than most care to waste. Funny thing is, if they had a password feature, this wouldn't matter. You're looking at a game where you have to mark a spot on your calendar if you want to have a chance in hell of finishing it. Way too long. Several times I was actually quite far and just shut off my NES because I was simply tired of playing it or had something else to do that actually applied to real life. Not having a password or save in a game like this is totally inexcusable. In fact, I got so sick of it that this remains one of the few games in my collection I don't care about finishing. I just shut the damn thing off and said it's not worth it because it took me nearly a full day to get 3/4 through it.
Back to the Future II & III is not a welcome addition to the NES' platforming library, though its inclusion of mini-games and a 'treasure hunt' plot is pretty cool. When it comes down to it, the lack of a password or save feature will frustrate anyone that plays this terror. It doesn't look very good, the sound is a little strange at times, and the gameplay is fun until you realize it takes an eon. If it weren't for the fact that you have to sit down and play through the whole damn game in almost one sitting, it would have received much higher marks. Make sure you can devote a whole day or two to playing it if you want to get to the end, one for mapping and the other for finishing. That's the kind of thing that gets on my nerves and it's the main reason why I stopped playing. I feel a void in my being, but I don't care, it's not worth the effort.

from The Great Debate:
Assessing the resiliency of Hillary Clinton
As Hillary Rodham Clinton finished her last few weeks on the job, after a month of convalescence, how can we assess the secretary of state's contributions?
The question is worth asking simply because of the job's importance and its significance for U.S. national security. It is also relevant given Clinton's unprecedented role in our national life over the last two decades.
She is probably the most politically powerful woman in U.S. history — at least in terms of positions held. She has come closer to being elected president than any other woman. She may well try again, and her record as secretary may be the best way to judge her candidacy for the highest job in the land. So how has she done?
My bottom line is this: Clinton has been a very good secretary – if more solid than spectacular. Pick your cliché or sports metaphor – she is more work horse than show horse, more an indefatigable marathoner (despite the setback last month) than a sprinter.

New Afghan war over U.S. troop levels
The stubborn war in Afghanistan, which has spanned a decade and cost more than 2,000 American lives, has now faded to one key question: How many U.S. troops will remain after 2014?
This is the issue that will likely occupy President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai when they meet at the White House on Friday. Officials are already batting numbers about, ranging from zero to 20,000.

Christmas in Afghanistan
Baghlan, Afghanistan
By Fabrizio Bensch
There are thousands of miles that separate the German soldiers in Afghanistan from home. For up to one year, they may be stationed in Afghanistan, but for most of them no more than four to five months.
The lead up to Christmas in Germany has a very long tradition and the arriving season is dominated by beautifully decorated shop windows in department stores and the smell of gingerbread and cinnamon. Christmas trees are festively illuminated in the streets with Christmas decoration and Christmas markets and Santa Claus are in every city.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
At war's end, ramping up drone strikes in Afghanistan
The United States carried out more drone strikes in Afghanistan this year than it has done in all the years put together in Pakistan since it launched the covert air war there eight years ago. With all the attention and hand wringing focused on the operations in Pakistan, it's remarkable that such a ramp-up just over the border has gone virtually unnoticed.
The two battlegrounds are not the same, of course. Afghanistan is an open and hot battlefield where U.S. forces are deployed and the drones are part of the air support available to troops. Pakistan is a sovereign nation and the United States is not in a state of war with it and so you wouldn't expect the same pace of operations, even though U.S. commanders say the Taliban insurgency draws its sustenance from the sanctuaries in the Pakistani northwest.

When it happened two months ago, it shocked the world. Masked Taliban gunmen stopped a school bus filled with children in northwestern Pakistan, boarded it and shot 15-year-old Malala Yousafzai in the head and neck as she sat in the bus with her friends.
Her crime? She was a campaigner for the right of girls to go to school -- an act strictly forbidden by Taliban militants who are still active in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
from The Great Debate:
Obama faces only hard choices in Mideast
The conventional wisdom in Washington these days is that a newly empowered president, freed from the political constraints of reelection, will have more discretion, drive and determination to take on the Middle East's most intractable problems.
Don't believe it. This looks a lot more compelling on paper than in practice. Should President Barack Obama be tempted to embrace it, he may well find himself on the short end of the legacy stick.
from Expert Zone:
Exit Afghanistan?
The opinions expressed are his own
In his victory speech to a rapturous crowd in Chicago following his re-election, President Barack Obama affirmed that America's "decade-long conflict" in Afghanistan will now end. The line was greeted with prolonged applause -- and understandably so. In fact, this ill-advised war -- launched on the basis of a United Nations Security Council resolution -- has been grinding on for 11 years, making it the longest in American history.
At the beginning, the war was aimed at eliminating Al Qaeda, vanquishing the Taliban, and transforming Afghanistan into something resembling a Western-style nation-state. With none of these goals fully achieved, America's intervention -- like every other intervention in Afghanistan's history -- is ending unsatisfactorily.
from The Great Debate:
Petraeus: A loss of real military standards
The sudden departure of General David Petraeus from the CIA probably tells us more about the state of our nation than it does about Petraeus. President Barack Obama should not have accepted his resignation.
We now seem to care more about the sex lives of our leaders than the real lives of our soldiers. We had years of failed generalship in Iraq, for example, yet left those commanders in place. Petraeus's departure again demonstrates we are strict about intimate behavior, but extraordinarily lax about professional incompetence.
from India Insight:
India stepping up to the challenge of post-2014 Afghanistan
Racing through the deserted streets of Kabul at nighttime, you are likely to be stopped at street corners by policemen once, twice or even more. If you are a South Asian, as I am, their guard is up even more. "Pakistani or Indian?" the cop barks out as you lower your window. When I answer "Indian", he wants me to produce a passport to prove that, and as it happens, I am not carrying one. So I am pulled out of the car in the freezing cold and given a full body search, with the policemen muttering under his breath in Dari that everyone goes around claiming to be an Indian, especially Pakistanis.
To be an Indian in Kabul is to be greeted warmly wherever you go, whether it is negotiating a security barrier or seeking a meeting with a government official. There is an easing of tensions (in Afghanistan, the fear uppermost in the mind is that the stranger at the door could be an attacker and you don't have too long to judge), Bollywood is almost immediately mentioned, and your hosts will go out of their way to help.
from The Great Debate:
Why 'peace' was catchphrase in presidential debate
Foreign policy attempted to take center stage at the presidential debate Monday evening but failed resoundingly. For the candidates agreed to agree on a number of key issues -- the timeline for ending America's longest war, support for Israel, and the importance of diplomacy and sanctions in Iran. Nation-building at home trumped nation-building abroad, and small business won as many mentions from the nominees as the death of Osama bin Laden. It was no accident that the contenders talked about teachers more than Libya.
What both President Barack Obama and his GOP challenger Mitt Romney made clear to a nation exhausted by one decade of two bloody wars: The era of big military interventions is over. Romney, who earlier in the campaign sounded poised to embrace a more activist foreign policy, embraced a loudly centrist worldview that eschewed saber-rattling in favor of promoting entrepreneurship and civil society.

My daughter loved her preschool year at Desert Sun. They have so many fun ways to learn and explore. It is a perfect environment for children to learn. My daughter was always covered in paint, mud or who-knows- what, but she loved it and so did I! The teachers really cared and treated each child with love and respect.
Desert Sun is by far one of the best things I ever did for my kids. They were there for 5 years, and still talk about how much they loved going there. The are both in middle school now and doing great. I attribute a lot of their success to the caring and wonderful teachers and staff at Desert Sun. It is a wonderful environment where kids really do learn through play. Thank you for creating and maintaining such a great school!
Desert Sun is a fantastic place to nurture a child as they grow through the most developmental years of their life. Each staff memeber cares about each child and building a strong parent-home school connection. I have 2 boys who began in the parent toddler classes and have since moved onto Kinder and Pre K. I feel they are building a life long self esteem, creativity, & knowledge all through a fun home feel environment. There are no bright lights, computers going crazy and a boring sterile environment. The kids feel at home comfortable and enjoy learning with the old school house type feel. I would send any kid in the world here! Don't hesitate do it~
Our daughter is off to college. What an investment in her future! Yet, not as important as the first investment we made in her education! For the first five years of her life, we attended Desert Sun Child Developmental Center. We attribute our daughter's self confidence, assertiveness, problem solving and reasoning ability, self discipline, independence, conflict resolution skills and many of her strong qualities to the foundational years spent at this developmental preschool. The staff, leadership and generations of parents over the years are to be commended for staying the course and implementing true child development with integrity. As an educator myself, for 34 years, I would not have wanted my child to attend anywhere else. She blossomed in those early years from parent toddler classes to her transitional kindergarten class. NAEYC knows quality developmental programs and actively recognizes Desert Sun as a strong school of choice. My only regret is the preschool years sped by so fast. -Beth Lang former Desert Sun Parent
I don't know why Desert Sun only received 4 stars for teacher quality when its excellent and dedicated staff is what sets it apart from most other schools. I have had two children attend Desert Sun and they have benefitted immensely from their interactions with the teachers there. I know that one reason they have flourished in grade school is because they received such a great head start. They love to learn thanks to Desert Sun teachers!
My son is about to start his 3rd year at Desert Sun. We did 2 years in the Parent/Toddler program, and he is about to start the 3 year old program. We have had a wonderful experience. The teachers, staff, and facilities are great. Desert Sun is all about learning through play, and for my active little guy that is the perfect philosophy. It is giving him an excellent foundation for learning - he loves school.
My son, now in Desert Sun's Kindergarten program has been enjoying Desert Sun since the Parent/Toddler interaction class. My daughter is on her 3rd year at Desert Sun and is gearing up to enter the Transitional Kindergarten class. We have thoroughly enjoyed Desert Sun for many years. Both my children love school, thanks to Desert Sun. The program is hands-on and play based - perfect for young children. The teachers are wonderful and so fantastic with the kids. We've enjoyed being part of the Desert Sun community!
Desert Sun has been a tremendous part of my family community. The environment is greater than 'just a school'. Among the strong sense of community is an environment that encourages learning through discovery and play. This results in individual development as well as defining a strong foundation for social and emotional growth. Desert Sun works with the whole child and my little boy is loving it.
This is an excellent school that focuses on the development of the child. It has a developmentally appropriate curriculum and child learn through play. My son is in the 3 year old class and he wants to go to school every day. Parents are welcome in the class and are encouraged to help in other ways. The parenting tips and classes that are offered are very helpful.
Fun preschool, but it felt like I was spending $$ for a 2-3 hour playdate. It was also rather chaotic. Children who need a more structure and focus might have a hard time finding their place.

Infinite list of TV characters that I adore: Matt Saracen
I gotta get up there in front of everybody and say good stuff about this man. And all I really want to say is 'Here lies Henry Saracen, his mother annoyed him, his wife couldn't stand him and he didn't want to be a dad so he took off to be in the army because that's the only way he could come up with to get out of here and ditch all your responsibilities and no one could call you out on it and that worked out great so you just decided to enlist four more times and that ended up getting you killed and now here you are. And all you left behind is a mother with dementia, a divorced wife and a son that delivers pizza. Thank you for coming 100 people I do not know.' You know what the worst part is? Even if I did get up and say all that I don't even know if I'm saying it to him because I don't know what's in that damn box. It's a closed casket— might be someone else, someone funnier or a bunch of rocks.
Oh, Matt. You sweet, adorable, heartbreaking boy.

GM and Honda have agreed to work together on a concerted push to bring affordable hydrogen-fuel cell vehicles to market before the end of the decade.
The two companies, which together boast 1,200 fuel cell-related patents, yesterday signed a "definitive master agreement" to co-develop fuel cell systems and hydrogen storage technologies.
By exchanging expertise, economies of scale and combining sourcing strategies for parts and materials, they intend to make fuel cell vehicles more affordable.
"We are convinced this is the best way to develop this important technology, which has the potential to help reduce the dependence on petroleum and establish sustainable mobility," said Dan Akerson, GM chairman and chief executive.
Fuel cell vehicles generate power from a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen stored in the fuel stack and emit only water vapor. But the need to store hydrogen in specialist carbon fiber tanks and use platinum as a catalyst means costs for the technology have remained high.
However, cost concerns have not stopped several leading automotive firms investing heavily in developing the technology.
Honda has already delivered 85 of its FCX Fuel Cell vehicles and its successor, the FCX Clarity, which was named World Green Car in 2009. It plans to launch a follow-up in the U.S. and Japan in 2015, with a European roll-out expected soon after. Meanwhile, GM's Project Driveway program has accumulated nearly 3 million miles of real-world driving in a fleet of 119 hydrogen-powered vehicles since 2007.

text: Comment July 5, 2010 Issue Team Effort Afghan war strategy By George Packer Table of Contents Credit TOM BACHTELL In firing General Stanley McChrystal for talking cocky mess-hall trash about his civilian superiors in the company of aides and a writer for Rolling Stone, President Obama reasserted the principle of civilian control of the military. In getting General David Petraeus, the most talented officer of his generation, to accept McChrystal's command, the President deftly solved his crisis of generalship, which threatened to undermine the mission in Afghanistan. The three-day personnel problem ended as well as the White House could have wanted, but, because it's a symptom of the larger problem of the war, the McChrystal uproar is going to resonate long after sniping about the old soldier—and about Vice-President "Bite Me"—has faded away. Every aspect of the war—which is approaching its tenth year, having just superseded Vietnam as the longest in American history—is going badly. Team McChrystal's casual insubordination reflected a war effort working against itself. McChrystal and Karl Eikenberry, the American Ambassador in Kabul, disliked each other and fought over strategy through cables and leaks. (Eikenberry didn't think that the addition of tens of thousands of troops could succeed.) Obama allowed the division to fester, giving President Hamid Karzai an opening in which to play American officials off against one another: McChrystal was Karzai's newest friend, Eikenberry his latest enemy. Richard Holbrooke, the Administration's special representative for the region, lost Karzai's confidence a while ago, and it's not clear that he still has Obama's. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates remain closely allied with each other, their subordinates, and the White House, but wars are won or lost in the field, not at headquarters. Last year, in this magazine, Holbrooke described what often happens in government: "People sit in a room, they don't air their real differences, a false and sloppy consensus papers over those underlying differences, and they go back to their offices and continue to work at cross-purposes, even actively undermining each other." This is becoming a picture of U.S. policymaking in Afghanistan. Jonathan Alter's new book, "The Promise," recounts how, last fall, the military, with a series of leaks, tried to box in the President and force him to send more troops. In return, Obama summoned Petraeus and Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and, sounding like a prosecutor conducting a cross-examination, got them to sign off on a plan to start withdrawing troops in July of 2011, though their opposition to a time line was well known. Then notes from that meeting were leaked, almost certainly by the White House, to corner the military. The time line now means different things to different people, and a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the strategy's future. The foreign-affairs analyst Leslie Gelb wrote last week that some military officers "truly don't know where the President stands." After replacing McChrystal with Petraeus, Obama scolded his advisers for their bickering. But disarray among top personnel is almost always a sign of a larger incoherence. American goals in Afghanistan remain vague, the means inadequate, the timetable foreshortened. We are nation-building without admitting it, and conducting counterinsurgency on our own clock, not the Afghans'. The Army's field manual on counterinsurgency was co-authored by General Petraeus himself, who applied the doctrine with much success in Iraq. But counterinsurgency isn't a static mold into which the military can pour any war and wait for it to set. When Petraeus took command of the war in Iraq, in 2007, he had already served two tours there—he knew the country as well as any American officer. Afghanistan is less familiar terrain for him; the society is less urban and more fractured than Iraq's; and there is no sign in Afghan political dynamics of anything like the Sunni awakening that stopped the momentum of the Iraqi insurgency. With allies like Canada and Holland heading for the exits, American troops are dying in larger numbers than at any point of the war—on bad days, ten or more. The number of Afghan civilian deaths remains high, despite the tightened constraints of McChrystal's rules of engagement. The military key to counterinsurgency is protection of the population, but the difficulty in securing Marja and the delay of a promised campaign in Kandahar suggest that the majority of Afghan Pashtuns no longer want to be protected by foreign forces. The political goal of counterinsurgency is to strengthen the tie between civilians and their government, but the Afghan state is a shell hollowed out by corruption, and at its center is the erratic figure of President Karzai. Since last fall, when he stole reëlection, Karzai has accused Western governments and media of trying to bring him down, fired the two most competent members of his cabinet, and reportedly threatened to join the Taliban and voiced a suspicion that the Americans were behind an attack on a peace conference he recently hosted in Kabul. In the face of his wild performance, the current American approach is to tiptoe around him, as if he would start behaving better if he could just be settled down. Meanwhile, aid efforts are in a bind: working with the government nourishes corruption; circumventing it further undermines its legitimacy. No one, however, has been able to come up with an alternative to the current strategy that doesn't carry great risks. If there were a low-cost way to contain the interconnected groups of extremists in the Hindu Kush—with drones and Special Forces, as Vice-President Biden, among others, has urged—the President would have pursued it. If a return to power of the Taliban, which may well be the outcome of a U.S. withdrawal, did not pose a threat to international security, Obama would have already abandoned Karzai to his fate. But anyone who believes that a re-Talibanized Afghanistan would be a low priority should read the kidnapping narratives of two American journalists, Jere Van Dyk and David Rohde, who were held by the Taliban, along with the autobiography of the former Taliban official known as Mullah Zaeef. Together, these accounts show that the years since 2001 have radicalized the insurgents and imbued them with Al Qaeda's global agenda. Tactically and ideologically, it's more and more difficult to distinguish local insurgents from foreign jihadists. American policy is drifting toward a review, scheduled for December, and Obama is trapped—not by his generals but by the war. It takes great political courage to face such a situation honestly, but if in a year's time the war looks much the way it does now, or worse, Obama will have to force the public to deal with the likely reality: Americans leaving, however slowly; Afghanistan slipping into ethnic civil war, with many more Afghan deaths; Pakistan backing the Pashtun side; Al Qaeda seizing the chance to expand its safe haven. These consequences would require a dramatically different U.S. strategy, and a wise Administration would unify itself around the need to think one through before next summer.

Revlon Brilliant Strength 'Impress'
I can't resist a good cliche…but this polish is called Impress…and it did (sorry…too easy). The formula of these nail enamels from Revlon are pretty much faultless – lovely colours, great pigmentation, great brush, easy application and quick drying time… what's not to like!?
Colour wise, this is a tough one to describe – in the bottle I feel it looks more nude/neutral than it does on the nail – where I feel it looks more like a muted khaki type of shade? What do you think – how would you describe the colour? It's a tough one….
I've also tried another shade, a really pretty golden one that I will show you shortly – equally impressive. Revlon have always been good at polish (their deep red shade, Vixen is an all time favourite of mine), and this new range keeps up their winning streak!
Let me know what you think of this shade and if you have tried the Brilliant Strength polishes at all!

For the past 50 years—since the discovery of a thousand-year-old Viking way station in Newfoundland—archaeologists and amateur historians have combed North America's east coast searching for traces of Viking visitors.
It has been a long, fruitless quest, littered with bizarre claims and embarrassing failures. But at a conference in Canada earlier this month, archaeologist Patricia Sutherland announced new evidence that points strongly to the discovery of the second Viking outpost ever discovered in the Americas.
While digging in the ruins of a centuries-old building on Baffin Island, far above the Arctic Circle, a team led by Sutherland, adjunct professor of archaeology at Memorial University in Newfoundland and a research fellow at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, found some very intriguing whetstones.
