The highest-ranking U.S. military officer killed in combat since the Vietnam War was buried with full honors Thursday at Arlington National Cemetery in a ceremony attended by his family and platoons of fellow warriors.
Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene was killed Aug. 5 when a gunman believed to be an Afghan soldier opened fire at a military academy near Kabul.
During the ceremony, Greene's adult son tightly clasped the hands of his mother and sister as soldiers folded the flag that had draped his father's casket. While the U.S. Army Band played "America the Beautiful," Army First Lt. Matthew Greene handed a tissue to his mother, who dabbed at her eyes.
The 55-year-old two-star general went to Afghanistan in January. It was his first deployment to a war zone.
His burial included several ceremonial touches in deference to his rank. A riderless horse accompanied the caisson that carried Greene's casket to his gravesite. The hundreds of people who gathered on a mild, breezy afternoon at Arlington were startled by a 13-cannon salute and again, later, by three rifle volleys.
U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno presented the flag that had covered Greene's casket to his widow, Susan Myers, a retired Army colonel. He then handed three more flags that had touched the casket to Greene's son; his daughter, Amelia; and his father, also named Harold.
Following the ceremony, Myers placed a rose on Greene's casket and patted it as her son touched her back. Matthew, wearing his dress uniform, knelt by the casket, and then Amelia bent over and kissed it, supported by her brother.
The burial was preceded by a chapel service that was closed to reporters. Lt. Col. Juanita Chang, an Army public affairs officer, said the 650-seat chapel at Arlington was filled beyond capacity. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel attended and met with the family. Dozens of general officers also attended, and some could not find seats, Chang said.
Matthew Greene had the crowd laughing as he told stories about his father, Chang said, and Amelia Greene spoke about her father's love of New England sports. She was inspired by his optimism about the Boston Red Sox, who went the first 45 years of his life without winning the World Series. The Red Sox have since won three titles, and the family will attend a game at Fenway Park on Saturday and be honored after the 5th inning, Chang said.
Greene, known as Harry, spent most of 34-year Army career developing, building and supplying soldiers with equipment and technology.
Born in Boston and raised in New England and upstate New York, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers in 1980 after graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He later earned a Ph.D. in engineering from the University of Southern California.
In 2009-2011, he served as deputy commanding general of the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command and senior commander of the Natick Soldier System Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland. During that tour he gained the rank of brigadier general, and at his promotion ceremony in December 2009 he was lauded for his leadership skills and ability to inspire those around him.
"In every job I had we got things done that I think made our Army better, and it was done by other people," Greene said at the promotion ceremony, according to the Albany Times Union. "All I did was try to pull people in the right direction and they went out and did great things."

to bond with an eagle
braided into the hair, an image of courage,
flight and possibilities within life's journey,
the long flowing hair of disciplined freedom,
hair in styles of perception that we wear (Report) Reply
Saint Eule
Free Will
Men cut their hair-
Men cut their hair to show hate and depair, a skinhead as clear as the
as a swastika there.
Men cut their hair to show Budha is there, a monk enlightened wanting to
Men cut their hair just to feel the night air on hot summer day it is
better to wear.
These are the reasons men cut their hair.
Men grow hair long-
Men grow hair long when they are feeling a song, they find peace in their
heart with the hair they won't part.
Men grow hair long to braid with a feather, to bond with an eagle a tribe
is forever.
Men grow hair long too busy in life, till they are reminded to cut it by a
bothersome wife.
These are the reasons men grow their hair long.
Men are born with little hair at all, to cut it
or grow it, that is our call.

Headache-inducing news of the day: a Magnum, P.I. movie?
Oh, now they've gone too far.
The crazy "let's remake an old TV show and put it on the big screen!" mania continues. Magnum, P.I. is coming to the big screen, and it now has a writer and director. It's Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dogdeball).
I have absolutely no confidence that this will be a good movie. Nothing against the director. I'm talking about the whole concept of remaking TV shows for the big screen. To put it bluntly, who the fuck wants to see a big screen Magnum movie without Tom Selleck? Maybe he'll be in it, but I seriously doubt it. They'll go younger, hipper, edgier, with rap on the soundtrack (see also: Miami Vice).
Studio execs are clueless. The reason why certain shows are beloved in the first place is because of a specific time, a specific place in history, a specific cast. It's not that Charlie's Angels, the original show, was such a great concept or plot, it's that it was that three specific actresses and the 1970s. People liked it back then because of the T and A, and they like it now for the nostalgia/kitsch value. Bringing it back and just putting three other actresses in it? That's why it sucked. Same with The Fugitive, The Beverly Hillbillies, I Spy, and a ton of others.
(Hell, this Magnum flick might turn out to be a good "movie," but it won't be Magnum, P.I.)
And the worse part? This pretty much means any future TV reunion movie with Selleck, Hillerman, Manetti, et al has no chance of ever becoming a reality.

HSBC Holdings is luring hedge funds spooked by the credit crisis and its possible impact on prime brokers.
The firm has spoken with hedge funds managing more than $100 million, HSBC global head of securities services Tim Howell says, and is looking to add some services traditionally offered by prime brokers to its existing administration and custodial services.
"Over the last three months, funds moving away from prime brokerage have been the most significant source of the pipeline we have," Howell told Bloomberg News. "In the current economic climate, a lot of funds say they ascribe very high value to the creditworthiness of the person looking after their assets."
In the unlikely event of a prime brokerage failure—made even more unlikely by recent Federal Reserve moves—client collateral is in danger of going into a general creditors' pool. Non-collateral assets should be safe from such a seizure, but should be registered in the client's name by the prime broker, a safety measure sometimes ignored.
Multi-billion hedge funds from the U.S. and Europe are leading the way out of prime brokers, Howell said.

SaveWave gets new name, closes $2.3M round
Send this to a friend
- Rodney Brown
SavingStar Inc., a Waltham-based spinout from Upromise that launched as SaveWave Inc., has closed on a $2.3 million Series A funding round, according to federal documents.
In August, 2010, SavingStar raised a $1.4 million tranche of the Series A round. At the time, investors were identified as Flybridge Capital Partners and First Round Capital, with additional support from Founder Collective, IA Capital and angel investors Ron Conway and Michael Bronner.
While the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission states that SaveWave is now SavingStar, the company's website is still branded as SaveWave.
SavingStar, founded in June, 2010, is a spinout of Upromise, a college savings service with more than 12 million members, which was acquired by Sallie Mae. The company develops a platform for digital promotion, distribution and rewards fulfillment systems, and his developing its own white-label program for other brands and a mobile application to activate coupons.
The SavingStar executive team is comprised of former Upromise executives, include CEO David Rochon, former president of Upromise; president Michael Libenson, former Upromise senior vice president; and senior VP of business development Brendaen Makechnie, former Upromise Grocery vice president.

They have bags of potential.
Lol at teen-goth band name
Na I think they're just staying clear from each other to avoid unwanted attention and other kind of shit. Evanescence will always be the bigger band though but for all we know, the new We Are The Fallen album could kick the crap out of Fallen and The Open The Door.
Seeing them open for HIM on the 2nd. Hopefully they're good live.
Evanescence Mk. II
This will be better than anything Evanescence ever did. Period.

A DROITWICH dad will mark his 32nd birthday in style when he hits the streets of the capital next Sunday (April 22) to raise cash for a charity close to his heart.
Simon Smith from Hadzor will tackle the gruelling 26.2mile London Marathon course in a bid to raise £2,000 for leading national children's charity CHILDREN with CANCER UK.
The 31-year-old has been inspired to don his running shoes by his brother's nephew Charlie Beard-Harris, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia just over a year ago when he was just 10 months old.
The brave little boy, whose grandparents live in Droitwich, underwent chemotherapy soon after his birth, but it failed to kill the cancer.
But following a world-wide search for a bone marrow donor, Charlie underwent life-saving chemotherapy last October and returned home in January.
He still requires weekly checkups at Birmingham Children's Hospital but is on the road to recovery.
As a result Simon, whose own little boy Oliver is just six months older than Charlie, hopes he can raise vital funds for research into the causes and treatments of childhood cancer.
He will join the Mr Men and Little Miss team at this year's event and don the trademark Mr Happy and Mr Tickle running vests.
Simon, a British Army Officer of 14 years, said: "I hope to raise awareness of childhood cancer and the outstanding work that charities like CHILDREN with CANCER UK do for the families and research into this illness that affects so many children.
"It's my way of doing something that will indirectly support Charlie, and other children like him.
"My own son Oliver is healthy and six months older than Charlie and this spurred me to do something to raise awareness and hopefully some funds," he added.
Ben Twyman, Head of Running Events at CHILDREN with CANCER UK said: "Being told that your child has cancer is the start of an uncertain and difficult time for families.
"Thanks to Simon and the support from all of our dedicated marathon runners we are able to continue vital research into childhood cancer and help save young lives that would have otherwise been lost forever," he added.

One of the worst ways to live is living with regret. The kind where people spend their lives focused on "woulda's" and "shoulda's" and "coulda's."
For example, "I wish I woulda kept that appointment I decided to cancel," or "I shoulda spent more time with my children when they were young and less time working," or "We coulda bought that other house, instead of this money pit." Most times poor decisions aren't make or break. We reconsider them, shrug our shoulders, and then move on. But sometimes we dearly wish we could have a "do-over," or as golfers call it, a mulligan.
Frankly, this concept of being given a chance to do something over is one of the most appealing aspects of biblical faith. We find it repeatedly in both the Old and New testaments. In Exodus 34 we see an example that's kind of humorous.
After receiving the Ten Commandments from God, Moses had descended from atop Mt. Sinai only to find the Israelites hooting and hollering around a golden calf they had fashioned into an idol for worship. In a fit of anger, Moses smashed the stone tablets at the foot of the mountain, breaking them to pieces. It's not recorded, but I believe he must have quickly uttered, "Oops!"
Not long afterward, Moses climbed back up the mountain, probably red-faced. Instead of saying, "What the heck was that all about?" God simply instructed Moses, "Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke" (Exodus 34:1). It's like the Lord was telling the feisty leader of the Israelites, "Okay, let's try this again. Only this time, can we avoid smashing the tablets?"
During Jesus' trial prior to His crucifixion, impetuous Peter had – as Jesus predicted – denied the Lord three times. So after His resurrection, Jesus asked Peter three times, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" and each time Peter responded, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you" (John 21:15-23). The disciple had blown it big time, betraying the Son of God repeatedly, and yet Jesus was giving him the biblical equivalent of a mulligan.
And the apostle Paul, who'd been zealous in his role of leading the opposition to the growing legion of Christ followers, never forgot how graciously he too had been forgiven and redeemed. Like all who humble themselves and receive Jesus into their lives, Paul had been given a spiritual do-over he described this way: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other words, no need to dwell on your past.
Do you ever find yourself wrestling with woulda's and shoulda's and coulda's? God won't alter what's already transpired, but He offers a second chance, a do-over. If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend you take Him up on His offer!

text: Home > Medical > COPD > News 10 September 2012 Age and smoking may predict COPD A patient's age and the number of cigarettes smoked over time can predict mortality in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), researchers say. 0 Subscribe to the Newsletter » Join us on Facebook » Ask Stop Smoking Expert » Ask CyberDoc » Anti-Tobacco Art A patient's age and the number of cigarettes smoked over time can predict mortality in cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, researchers say. Spirometry results were not a predictor, they reported at the European Respiratory Society's annual meeting in Vienna, Austria. "As both age and the accumulated tobacco consumption are significant predictors of mortality, early detection of COPD is essential to provide smoking cessation interventions in the earlier stages of the disease," Dr Saher Shaker, who led the study at Gentofte Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark, told Reuters Health by email. Over the course of 10 years, Dr Shaker's team examined 208 patients with moderate to severe COPD. In that time, 104 patients died, and the median survival time was 10.4 years. Statistics of COPD On multivariate analysis, statistically significant predictors of mortality, included age (p=0.005), pack years (p=0.02), and RA-910 (relative area of emphysema below -910 Hounsfield units) as measured by computed tomography (p=0.017). Lung function tests, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), were not statistically significant predictors. That came as a surprise, Dr Shaker said. "However," he pointed out, "spirometry is important to establish the diagnosis and assess disease severity. The degree of emphysema assessed by CT correlates closely to the pathological extent of the disease, which might explain its prognostic superiority to lung function."

Volkswagen Golf VII GTI concept storms Paris Motor Show
More powerful and economical.
Volkswagen has officially revealed a near-production concept of the upcoming Golf VII GTI that will be launched next year. Just like we reported yesterday, the new GTI will be powered by a retuned version of the company's 2.0-liter TFSI turbo engine that will pump out 220 HP (162 kW). VW plans on offering an optional power package that adds 10 HP (7.3 kW).
The standard GTI will be able to perform the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 6.6 seconds, while the higher-power version will feature additional upgrades besides the power increase. Some of the extra goodies include a new electronic differential for better cornering and bigger brake discs. It promises to hit a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
The German automaker says that the fuel consumption has been reduced by 1.3 liters compared to the current Golf VII GTI, representing an 18 percent decrease. This means that the revamped GTI will be capable of returning 39.1 mpg US (47 mpg UK or 6 liters / 100 km).
Nice new fog lights!

AriOS 3.0 - Not as good as its predecessor
AriOS is a small, fledgling Ubuntu fork with a relatively decent level of integration that is normally reserved to bigger distributions. In its very first incarnation, while it was still called mFatOS, this operating system achieved average results. It worked well, but it was a bit jumbled, a bit cluttered. It tried to offer as much functionality as possible without strict reliance on high-speed Internet connectivity, but some of the user experience was marred by simply adding too much stuff. Version 2, called AriOS, was much more moderate, far more refined, with a decent level of polish, good applications choice and stability.
Now, AriOS 3.0 is out there. As a potential candidate to becoming a complete, truly successful Ubuntu derivative, an accolade which has so far been reserved to only Linux Mint, I took the distro for a spin, with high spirits and higher expectations. Tested: the 32-bit version, on my T60p experimentation rig. There's a 64-bit version, too.

But that explains some of the patches in rc6..
Open Source Code Contains Fewer Defects, But There's a Catch
Research suggests that software developed using open source code contains fewer defects than that built with proprietary code. The catch is that open source code rarely benefits from security teams specifically tasked with looking for bugs.

A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

DAVID KOENIG, AP Airlines Writer
DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines says it will list its shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "AAL" after completing a merger with US Airways and forming the world's biggest airline.
American's parent, AMR Corp., had been listed on the New York Stock Exchange as "AMR" until the shares were removed shortly after the company filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011. They are currently available only over the counter under the symbol "AAMRQ."
Tom Horton, the CEO of AMR, said the Nasdaq "offers a most advanced trading platform driven by innovation and efficiency."
Shares of AMR and US Airways Group Inc. will be canceled and exchanged for stock in the new American Airlines Group Inc., which will be based in AMR's home in Fort Worth, Texas. AMR creditors, bondholders and shareholders will get 72 percent of the new company, and US Airways shareholders will get the other 28 percent. At Friday's stock prices, the new company would have a market value of more than $16.6 billion.
Shares of the largest U.S. airline companies — United Continental Holdings Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc., Southwest Airlines Co. and US Airways — trade on the NYSE. The Nasdaq is home for JetBlue Airways Corp., Spirit Airlines Inc. and Allegiant Travel Co., which operates Allegiant Air.
American and US Airways did not immediately provide more information about their choice of stock market. According to American's website, the airline's stock began trading on the NYSE on June 10, 1939. AMR didn't come into existence until 1982, when shareholders approved a reorganization plan with a holding-company format.
Leslie Pfrang with Class V Group, which helps companies with strategic planning including stock-exchange listings, said the Nasdaq likely offered a lower listing fee, more services and the image of a fresh start for the new company.
"They're trying to rebrand themselves," she said of the airlines. "The Nasdaq has a growthy, tech, emerging-company brand image."
American and US Airways announced their proposed merger in February. It was expected to close in late summer until the U.S. Justice Department sued to block the deal, claiming that it would limit competition and raise prices. On Tuesday, the airlines and the government announced a settlement in which the carriers agreed to give up some of their takeoff and landing rights and gates at several big airports, principally Washington's Reagan National.
The airlines still need final approval from a U.S. bankruptcy judge in New York who had already approved a reorganization plan built around the merger, and from a federal district court judge in Washington who was overseeing the case involving the Justice Department lawsuit.
US Airways shares rose 5 cents to $23.72 and AMR shares dropped 22 cents to $11.73 in afternoon trading.

Monday in a light rain on an incline, I could not get the car to move without spinning the left front wheel. I could not get a gentle start. With winter approaching, this could prove dangerous.

Expect no new consoles from Microsoft and Sony until 2014
Apparently Microsoft and Sony and communicating with each other behind the scenes in order to co-ordinate an extension to the life of the current generation of console hardware.
Both analysts and industry insiders have all pointed to Sony and Microsoft not planning new hardware until 2013 at the very earliest, a full eight years after Microsoft kicked off this generation with the Xbox 360.
One first-party insider told Kotaku: "Both MS and Sony are telegraphing to each other that they're delaying, to milk the current [generation] and fill in previous craters better."
Perennial analytical mouthpiece Michael Pachter speculates: "I don't think either Sony or Microsoft are interested in a new console till they can advance the technology, and they certainly don't want to launch at a 600 USD price point. It may take till 2014 to get 2TB hard drives, uber-fast CPUs and state-of-the art graphics and sell at 400 USD."

Luke Christopher - Heartbreak Fiction
Artist: Luke Christopher
Producer: Luke Christopher
Album: #TMRGANGTUESDAY
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 5 votes )
At the top of the month, Luke Christopher stepped into the Booth with Life Jackets, a video single that saw him struggling to win the trust of a new woman. Evidently things didn't work out since, just two weeks later, we find the Los Angeles native picking up the pieces after watching the girl he loves walk out of his life. On Heartbreak Fiction, the latest release in his ongoing #TMRWGANG Tuesdays series, a bittersweet, self-produced synth beat accompanies Christopher as he expresses his sorrow and regret about how the relationship panned out. And, as if that wasn't enough, he ties the record together with a poignant sung chorus. Fans can, of course, watch our front page for more from the RCA Records signee, including future #TMRWGANG standouts.

Denesh Ramdin, the West Indies wicketkeeper-batsman, marked his second Test century by brandishing a piece of paper criticising the former West Indies captain Viv Richards.
Nagraj Gollapudi at Edgbaston
June 10, 2012
Viv Richards bowed to no one. His opponents, mostly bowlers, often paid obeisance to him. They did so not only out of respect but also out of fear that he might hit back powerfully with bat in hand. Denesh Ramdin now knows the feeling.
Ramdin, the West Indies wicketkeeper-batsman, after reaching his second Test century, reacted by unfolding a plain white sheet of paper from his trouser pocket on which was scribbled in capital words "YEH, VIV, TALK NAH." It was a retort to Richards' scathing assessment of his deteriorating form after he had managed only 51 runs and kept wicket inconsistently in the first two Tests.
At the end of the day's play, though, an embarrassed Ramdin admitted he had gone overboard and that his statement, which he had prepared on Saturday morning, was an "emotional" one.
"Sir Viv had something in the press," he said. "I think I got a bit emotional and it came out the way it did. He is a legend of the Caribbean. I still look up to him. If I see him anywhere I will still call him out and probably have a drink with him."
Richards, a former West Indies captain, who is in England as a radio commentator, had lost his patience with Ramdin, whose scores in the series read 1, 43, 1 and 6 respectively. This from a man who had promised at least three fifties and possibly even a century before leaving the Caribbean.
"I can't remember the statement quite clearly, but it was a bit hurtful to me," Ramdin said. "I went to the nets, worked hard, came out and proved myself to the critics."
When Ramdin does walk up to Richards to apologise, he had better do it from a safe distance because Richards seems miffed at being dragged into an unnecessary incident.
"I am the one who touted him as a future captain for West Indies and always thought of him as good but his form had dipped quite recently and I addressed those issues," Richards told ESPNcricinfo. "I questioned his ability because he had lost his confidence and thereby lost his shape."
Richards said Ramdin's emotive gesture after reaching the century was unnecessary, especially because West Indies have already lost the series.
"It is like being in a football match and your team is losing 5-0 and up comes a guy, scores a goal and starts jumping out of joy.
"He has played well and if you're given enough chances you're going to get it done. He should be happy and humble. I think I remember saying he'd lost his confidence, but I'm on the other side of the fence now and I'm here to do a job - there's no sentiment in it. I'm glad that he got the motivation from it. Let's not forget this is in a losing cause -- the team's not winning."
Opinion is growing that Ramdin should be disciplined. Michael Holding said Ramdin had gone down in his estimation and called for the Trinidadian to be given a dressing down and fined. By now Ramdin, recalled to the West Indies squad after a two-year absence, will have recognised that his reaction overshadowed the quality of his second Test century.
He also scored his maiden Test century against England, in a high-scoring draw in Barbados. West Indies played 29 Tests between then and the start of the England tour; Ramdin missed 18 of those. At 27, he is one of the most experienced player in the West Indies squad.
Marlon Samuels had raised a solid platform on Saturday with a brilliant fifty, but his departure, an over before the second new ball was taken late in the evening, gave England the required opening to widen the cracks. Ramdin, who had been emboldened quickly by Samuels during their crucial 56-run sixth-wicket partnership, took on the onus of shepherding the lower order.
Even Ramdin would not have been prepared for the fairy tale that Tino Best was scripting at the other end.
"It was amazing the way that Tino came out and played. He played some unbelievable shots. I did not think he had those shots in his armoury. He expressed himself. That's the way Tino plays."
Best not only listened to his senior batsman, he kept the atmosphere lighthearted and helped Ramdin to relax. "He kept saying: 'Keep going, big dog. You go out there, you get your 100 and then you bat with me to get my 50.' I told him I'll be there when he gets his hundred but unfortunately he got carried away and he didn't get there."
There was one other man who got carried away and Ramdin knows to his detriment who that is. His statement will no doubt make the cricket book of infamous quotes. Richards might go on to pardon him but each time Ramdin takes to the crease, he needs to deliver. If he fails, someone out there will be ready with a paper displaying the words: "YEH, DENESH, TALK NAH!"
