Scenario Drills
From the foxhole of Captain HeadHunter01
Immediate Action Drills
It's July, 29 degrees Celsius, humid. You're leading the point element of your team as you work your way deep into Bad guy Country. Suddenly your point man stops and looks quickly back as if to say something when all hell breaks loose! Immediately!
This is the great question isn't it? Most, if not all of us have been in large games where we have seen Teams come under fire only to disintegrate into a rabble of individuals, half of them painted and half of them separated and confused.The "Team" has ceased to exist. We have probably all also seen a Team come under fire while advancing and immediately each member reacts and begins what looks like a smooth response.Watching these kind of players either overcome their ambushers or successfully disengage, to me, is a source of pleasure. The Team which has practiced, is the team that knows how and when to react using what the military calls Immediate Action Drills, ( I am bilingual so in Canadian it is "Battle Drills")
This article will hopefully give an overview of Immediate Action Drills, their uses, strengths and weaknesses.It is hoped the reader will leave with a decent foundation and understanding upon which to build.
So now there are two questions; What are Battle Drills? And Why do I need them in paintball?
What is an Immediate Action Drill?
A Battle Drill is a pre-drilled, pre-rehearsed reaction to contact or anticipated contact with enemy forces. They are most often used by fire teams and squad size elements.
Why are they Important?
The OPFOR always seeks contact under favorable conditions.That's favorable to them! Examples of this are ambushes.These encounters are likely to be sudden, violent, and over quickly.You either react, or have laundry to do because you are painted more than a Picasso.These encounters are frequently at close range, especially in woods, forests, or heavy brush.Practice of Immediate Action Drills will better your chances at a minimum and most likely allow you to punish the OPFOR for underestimating you.
Why would I need these in Paintball?
Finally a fairly easy question, we play scenario/woodsball. Most often in large games with a good mix of "teams" and walk-ons. Most paintball "Teams" are no more than a bunch of friends who like to play paintball once in a while. Remember, everyone wants to be on a "team". "Military" style tactics work exceedingly well in this environment. Regardless of a teams "organization", I will bet dollars to doughnuts that very few practice these drills.
These tactics and drills we will discuss are real world and served me well in a former life.They can make the difference between a good fight and a really bad day.One of the keys is that each member of your squad/team must have a working knowledge and have practiced together.
Immediate Action Drill
Contact while On Patrol (Assault)
Three members are moving down either side of a trail on patrol during a long game.
You are moving slowly and quietly.You have staggered your men and each member knows where the others are and can see them. They pay attention to their assigned sectors. Your point man suddenly holds up his arm signaling "Freeze" (refer to Communications/hand signals)." He indicates he has seen the enemy. Your next move depends on whether they have seen you or not. For this drill we will assume they have seen you.
Your team immediately goes into it's pre-drilled routine.There are options and the best choice depends on the circumstances. (Refer to decision making)For this exercise, we will choose the assault.
The point man makes contact and yells (while taking cover and opening fire) CONTACT FRONT!! The other members echo this information and rush forward.This is done quickly (remember Immediate Action?). The second man rushes past the first while yelling COMING THROUGH!! This informs number one someone is coming past and helps avoid a blue on blue incident. He rushes past about 5-10 feet, preferably on the opposite side of the trail, and takes cover while he opens fire.
The third man mimics this move, preferably moving up on the other side of the point man.
This process is repeated with the point man, now in the rear, moving forward. Important: if it becomes necessary to reload, the trooper yells "Reloading" so his teammates know they will be without cover fire. When done he yells "UP!!"
It is important to note that "laying down paint" in this instance refers to suppressive fire, that is fire that is intended to keep the OPFOR's heads down and not necessarily hit them, that type of fire is called effective fire. This continues until one of two things occurs: 1) the team overwhelms and eliminates the OPFOR or, 2) they realize they have bitten off more than they can chew and need to unass the area ASAP. This is the point most of ask "Now What?"
Immediate Action Drill
Breaking Contact
(for those times when you absolutely have to get out of Dodge!)
Sometimes the best plans go sideways and a new one is needed ASAP. At these times, even a bad plan is good. All services use this and practice it in one form or another.
Let's pick up where we were, your team is assaulting the OPFOR when the volume of incoming paint increases noticeably. It begins coming from new directions and you realize either 1) OPFOR reinforcements have arrived or 2) you kicked a fresh turd on a hot day. The first to realize this yells "BREAK CONTACT!!"
To do this and still inflict casualties while protecting your troops, your Squad must stay organized and focused. Whomever is in the lead at this point starts by peeling back. Instead of turning and running, the rest of the team faces front and begins laying down covering fire while the Number 1 man moves back through the lines until he reaches the rear. Here, he turns and begins laying cover fire towards the front, the second man, (now in front) repeats the process. This continues until either the OPFOR is eliminated or reduced enough for you to now continue your initial assault, or you and your teammates swap exciting stories on your way to the dead zone.
These drills are used by US Rangers, Seals, SF, Canadian JTF, SAS etc. They do work but each team member must practice together and be at the level of "unconscious competent" meaning they react without having to think first. Do this and you will carry the day.

Good Stuff. BTW…we Infantrymen in the U.S. Army call them Battle Drills as well. The two terms are somewhat interchangable.
we have practiced this a little not a whole lot but a little and it does work
Most defentily a good idea to do these with your team, for our team Belleau Wood Bruisers. We are be sure to set up different privite skirmish matches to test everyone on the team. Everything from 5 to 2 and crazy uneven odds. We even have a stealth course were the sniper must get through a wooded lane and sneak past the other players.
and FYI the army is wrong we in the USMC call them Immediate Action Drills.
Great article. Ask any one of my current Team members or Recruit and they will tell you, we are on of those rare teams who do practice battle drill not just with paint but air as well. Always plan for the expected and unexpected. We started training battle drill to our paintball Team back in the late 80's, looked at like a band of nutz then and still today…though from what i have seen more teams are starting to come onboard with this method.
Congrats, nice to hear others think the same.

I have always considered drills to be more about learning your teammates and developing a trust and dynamic with them than anything else. And immediate action to be simply "always have your next move already in mind" so all you have to do is let your body go into it at the first sign of trouble rather than waiting until you are in the thick of things to figure out where you're going to go.
Maneuvers are neat and all, and I've seen my share of CSPO Organized Fall Back drills in action over the years but if you don't have enough bodies surviving the initial engagement because they were dawdling about confused as to where they should dive for cover until it's already too late you won't have anyone to fall back WITH.
Make sure you practice your fundamentals along with your maneuvers, it's a pitfall I've seen many scenario players fall into out here. They think pseudo-military squad maneuvers will make up for a lack of basic skills, individual tactics, chemistry, and communication. I've taken a ridge being guarded by 15 CSPO players effectively by myself (I'm assuming they were mostly rookies as I didn't recognize any of them) simply by limiting their angles, effective movement, snap shooting, picking my engagements and THEIR failure to communicate or coordinate suppression and posting against me. They had their fall back routine down pat though!!! It was in fact the only time they coordinated effectively against me, if they'd been able to coordinate half that well in the actual engagement I probably wouldn't have survived to eliminate more than a few of them.
Organized maneuvers can be a thing of beauty but are a little like the icing on a cake. They can make a tasty cake into a thing of beauty, but make sure you've got a cake worth serving first before you worry about the icing and pretty flower designs. If you don't you're going to wind up being force fed your own horrible tasting cake all day instead of people applauding your baking expertise as they head off the field.

text: Media Demands New Coke From Vatican by Iowahawk 15 Mar 2013 Share This: Against the advice of its self-appointed marketing consultants in the media, the Vatican has once again lost a strategic opportunity to reinvent itself as the new improved religious brand of politically-correct liberal hipsters. You know, the same strategy that's been such a boffo box office hit for the Episcopalians. Hope spring eternal, though. Reporters are still forwarding the latest Gallup results to the new Il Papa, under the assumption that a guy who wears a 2 foot tall hat, golden robes, and answers to "Your Holiness" pays attention to opinion polls or the NY Times Op-Ed page. I almost never discuss my own personal religious views but I'll out myself here as an ex-Catholic. Well, I suppose, in all honesty, an ex-Christian. I don't state this as a point of pride; it was the result of lengthy introspection, but unlike a lot of dogmatic atheists I consider people of faith neither stupid nor scary. In fact most all of the smartest people I know are religiously observant. And, I might add, some of my closest parents are Catholic. The point is I didn't abandon Catholicism over "church policy" on "social issues" and/or "modernization," but rather because I could no longer repeat the Apostles' Creed and honestly mean it. In that respect I think I am like most former Catholics. If I were a Catholic lefty who didn't like the church's stance on social issues, there are already any number of boutique churches I could switch to - ones in complete harmony with my politics while still providing a comforting veneer of Christianity. And, for those churches who have kept trendy and relevant, we can see how that strategy has worked out. The Unitarians and Presbyterians and Episcopalians have relevant-ized themselves into near extinction, like modern day Prius-driving Shakers, earning kudos from NPR and the NY Times while their remaining members shuffle out the door. Ultimately, the only way a religion remains truly relevant is by remaining constant. I may be an ex-Catholic, but give me a Latin High Mass with Bach booming on a pipe organ over Reverend Ted warbling a folk song about Gaia. Any day.

Mathematics and Finance (BSc)
Apply now
Received an offer?Log in to You@York to track your application
The BSc in Mathematics and Finance aims to advance students' mathematical and analytical skills as well as their understanding of the theory of finance. Mathematics is a useful language in which the theories of finance may be developed in the most rigourous way, and it provides methodogical and statistical tools for the critical analysis of data.
York offers:
← Return to our list of degree programmes
Why study Maths and Finance?
Mathematical finance is an increasingly technical profession practised by people with a strong background in mathematical sciences because of their quantitative skills. Today financial firms look for professionals who are capable of carrying out sophisticated economic and financial analyses using statistical and mathematical tools. This degree provides rigorous training in all these areas at a level relevant to practitioners in the modern quantitative finance industry.
Why study at York?
In this three-year degree students take modules in mathematics, statistics and financial economics. The first year develops a strong foundation in mathematics and statistics, as well as in general and financial economics, on which to build in the following two years. In the second year emphasis is on consolidating quantitative and analytical skills while studying the core concepts in finance and economics. In the final year, students learn sophisticated methods of quantitative finance based on stochastic calculus, covering derivative securities and risk management, and statitistical techniques used in the analysis of financial data. The latter are used, for example, to model and forecast financial variables such as interest rates and stock prices. There are also opportunities to study business finance, computer programming with C++, as well as other options.
At York we place particular emphasis on small group teaching and a friendly atmosphere. Our comprehensive tutorial system gives extensive support to first year students.
About 40 mathematicians and 50 economists are engaged in teaching, and are also active in developing the subject through leading international and interdisciplinary research. Thus we are able to offer a wide range of final year options, which are taught and supervised by enthusiastic lecturers involved in the latest developments of their subject.
Transferable skills are developed during the entire degree programme. Tutorials encourage logical and analytical thinking, and help develop your ability to read books and papers critically, and to write clearly and concisely.
Course content
First Year
You take two 30 credit modules that run during the entire teaching year:
and one 20 credit module in the Autumn term:
Altogether you obtain 80 credits in Mathematics.
In the Economics Department you take
Altogether you obtain 40 credits in Economics
Details of these modules can be found on the Economics Department website.
Second Year
In the department of Mathematics you take the following modules
Altogether you obtain 60 credits from Mathematics.
In the department of Economics you taken the following modules over the entire teaching year
Details of these modules can be found on the Economics Department website.
Altogether you obtain 60 credits from Economics.
Third Year

In the department of Economics you take
Details of these modules can be found on the Economics Department website.
The remaining 40 credits of the year are made up from optional modules from the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Economics, of which at least 20 credits must be Mathematics modules. You may choose from most Mathematics modules from the 3rd year module table.
The Economics modules can be taken from the Third Year Options shown below
Details of all these modules can be found on the Economics Department website.
Academic integrity module
In addition to the above you will also need to complete our online Academic Integrity module. This covers some of the essential skills and knowledge which will help you to study independently and produce work of a high academic standard which is vital for success at York.
This module will:
For most modules, lectures are the main mode of teaching. In the first year there may be around 200 students in a lecture. The crucial factor in any university programme is the small group teaching in support of these.
In your first year, your meet your tutor once a week for a small group tutorial, where there are between 8 and 10 students. In these sessions you discuss the core Maths modules – usually this means reviewing any lecture material that is puzzling, discussing solutions to assignments, and developing your skills in understanding, creating and presenting mathematical arguments. In addition, the tutorials are used to teach transferable skills, increasing your employability on graduation.
In the other first year modules, seminars, generally of around 20 students, meet throughout term-time. They examine, by discussion or exercises, topics related to the preceding lecture. Seminars are also a forum for the analysis of particular topics, and in Economics are often introduced by students presenting papers to the group.
Seminars continue through the second year, while in third year the lecture programmes are mostly in smaller groups and each has a weekly seminar or problem class.
Some modules have practical computer classes.
Modules have extensive material provided our VLE. This may include lecture notes, solutions to assignments, past exam papers, and links to further reading. In addition, each module has its own discussion forum, allowing students to ask questions about the module content.
Around 20% of your time will be spent in scheduled teaching. University maths is full of new concepts and requires more time spent assimilating these - more 'thinking time' - than school maths. Therefore an important part of studying at university is independent study and practising problem sheets. Of course, if you have any difficulties, lecturers are always available for informal consultation, and we maintain an atmosphere of approachability amongst our staff.
The majority of the modules are assessed by examinations, complemented by weekly or fortnightly homework so that you and the lecturers can assess your progress as you proceed through each module. This allows you to practise the maths and gain valuable feedback before the formal assessment takes place.
What kind of feedback will I get?
Lecturers provide feedback in a variety of forms, according to the needs of the specific module. It may consist of written feedback on work that you have handed in, in-class discussion of common problems on a particular assignment, model answers, or online responses to questions posted on the module discussion board.
Adjustments for students with disabilities
We do our best to accommodate reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities wherever possible. This may include extra time, rest breaks, or provision of a transcriber, amongst other things. These adjustments would be preceded by a formal assessment of needs. Further information can be found on the Disability Services website.
Mathematics and finance graduates are in great demand by a wide range of employers, who value the skills developed over the course of the degree. The ability to communicate and solve complex problems and critically analyse information in a logical way are all much sought after from organisations in both the public and private sectors. While a number of mathematics and finance graduates choose to pursue careers in research and teaching, over 70% of our most recent graduates have gone on to a range of careers including:
Six months after graduation, 91% of University of York Maths graduates are employed or in further study. More information can be found at the University's careers pages where you can also see profiles of recent graduates
All applications must be made through UCAS. We do not generally interview applicants before making an offer, but all those who are offered a place will be invited to a visit day between January and April. Here you will have an opportunity to meet our staff and students, including a one-to-one conversation with a member of academic staff. This is an ideal opportunity to visit the campus, find out more information about studying mathematics, and ask any questions you may have. If you are interested in visiting York before applying, the University runs a number of Open Days throughout the year.
A-level requirements
For the remainder of the offer the department accepts all (including vocational) A-level subjects, with the exception of Modern Foreign Languages taken by native speakers.
Other qualifications
Cambridge Pre-U: Pass with D3, D3, M2 in three Principal Subjects, including Mathematics.
International Baccalaureate: 36 points overall, including HL6 in Mathematics
Scottish Highers: AAAAB including A in Mathematics
Irish Leaving Certificate: AAAABB including A1 in Mathematics
European Baccalaureate: 80% average overall, including 85% in Mathematics
English Language Qualifications
Our language requirements for overseas applicants can be found here.
Mature students
We welcome applications from suitably qualified 'mature' applicants (those aged 21 or over). Mathematics is not an easy subject to take up later in life, but it can be a rewarding one. However, if you want to read mathematics at York, then you will need to have studied mathematics at A-level or equivalent standard in the fairly recent past, because the first year courses all start from the presumption that you have this knowledge. This does not mean that we will necessarily insist on any particular formal qualifications as long as we are convinced that you are in a position to benefit from the course here. We normally interview all mature applicants before making a formal offer.

Rotterdam has cut port dues for 2013 2 percent from 2012 rates, the fourth successive annual discount that has pushed next year's tariffs below the 2008 level as it seeks to defend its leading market share in the fiercely competitive Le Havre-Hamburg port range.
Europe's largest container port is also maintaining existing discounts and will not pass on inflation increases to shipowners.
This will result in 2013 dues being 8.6 percent below what they would have been if they had been adjusted for inflation and there were no discounts in recent years, the port authority said.
Shipowners will pay around 30 million euros ($39 million) less in dues in 2013, the agency said.
"Although throughput is rising slightly, a lot of companies are having a tough time. We hope this massive discount will help our clients and bind cargo to Rotterdam," said Hans Smits, CEO of the port authority.
The port received $378 million in seaport dues and $19.5 million in inland shipping port tariffs in 2011. It also generated $347 million of revenue from rents and long-term leases on harbour properties.
Rotterdam is also spending $6.5 million of port dues in 2013-14 to support initiatives by the business sector to make the port more sustainable.
Rotterdam's total cargo throughput increased by 1.7 percent in the first three quarters of 2012 from a year ago to 332.6 million metric tons, but container traffic dipped 1.1 percent to 8.94 million 20-foot-equivalent units.

In Colombia's natural parks, you begin to truly understand the meaning of biodiversity. Seeing so many life forms is overwhelming.

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Photografy Flickr by ryanwhisner
The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is located in the northern part of Colombia, in the departments of Magdalena, La Guajira, and Cesar. The Teyuna Archaeological Park, also called "Ciudad Perdida" (lost city), and the cradle of the country's most monumental Indian civilization is located entirely on the Sierra.
This majestic mountain range is the tallest seaside mountain system in the world and possesses Colombia's two largest mountains. At present, around 30,000 members of the Kogi, Arhuaco, Kankuamo, and Wiwa Indian communities, known as "older brothers", live in the park. UNESCO declared the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta park a Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site in 1979.
Recovery, research and conservation efforts are carried out in the park permanently. Hikes through various places through historic and cultural paths are the main tourist activity at the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
The city of Santa Marta may be reached by air, land, and sea. From Santa Marta, it is necessary to travel 42 kilometers on a dirt road, first to the township of Minca, then to Cerro Kennedy, and on to the San Lorenzo Experimental Station, approximately a one and a half hour ride.
At present the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is inhabited by the Kogi and Ijka Indians. The latter are also known as Arhuacos. Both conserve their myths and traditions. Two traditions from the past deserve to be highlighted: the job of the mamos and the coca ritual. The mamos, or mamas, are the priests and wise men of the community, who inherited the wisdom of their elders and exert religious power.
Jaguars, tapirs, páramo deer, condors, curassows and the Sierra parrot are found among the fauna.
The biota of the massif (warm, cold, páramo and sub-páramo thermal floors) has a notable affinity with that of the Andes, especially the Eastern Mountain Range of Colombia.The flora of the park is quite varied: mastres, caracolíes, ceibas de leche, and wax palms stand out as gigantic trees.
Several interesting sites for nationals and foreigners are visited in the course of the year:

A significant technological advancement in the control of mosquitoes and insects. Developed WITHOUT neurotoxic chemicals that have been predominately used to control insects for the last fifty years. MQ7 is formulated with a scientifically modified bio-mass (Cedar - Juniperus Virginiana), which is then linked with a catalytic agent to provide effective insect control. MQ7's unprecedented performance penetrates the insects' breathing apparatus and confuses their sense of smell to the point they either leave the treated area to regain their equilibrium or become overwhelmed and die. Furthermore, the formula's micron-sized molecules are able to penetrate the egg layer and suffocate the next generation of insects. Cedar has been used for thousands of years to repel insects naturally. An all-natural, non-toxic mosquito and insect control alternative has never before achieved such levels of innovation and extraordinary performance.

|'Take Us to Your Leader' – Lobbying Albany to Ease Local School Taxes – (Part One)
|Page 2
|All Pages
At an exploratory meeting recently on this new effort, Board of Education President Dr. Igor Webb indicated that in this economy, many taxpayers will not accept the large tax increases that will become necessary in maintaining schools. Districts, therefore, are in a bind because local tax increases are the only way to support the New York State Education Department "mandates" that creep into local budgets. And, making matters worse, state law even hinders schools from taking certain financial actions that could help deal with these mandated costs as they are handed down.

After her great post about Corsica, UK Tripper Sarah Davis is back with her 5 Tips for visiting Mendoza, where she spent "a wonderful weekend of wineries, walks and water wading" during her year of living in Argentina.
Bordering the Chilean border, "Cold Mountain" Mendoza has more to offer than its infamous vineyards. I was lucky enough to spend some time with a few friends there whilst living in Argentina this past year.
Though set for a long weekend with my eager to explore international groups of friends, we were not however prepared for the cold mountainous air we hit coming into the city. Having spent the most part of our day on the bus ride from Buenos Aires, we were more than happy to be outside and enjoy the freshness!
Mendoza is a 17-hour trip from the Capital city and well worth the time spent to get there but make sure that you are able to get in a full few days in order to experience all the valley has to offer. There are many bus services to choose from but choosing one which includes a snack and stop off will make any 17-hour journey more pleasurable!
Try to book a "cama" full bed night bus if possible so that once arriving, your precious hours of day light are saved but also you manage to keep down the costs of your adventure weekend as you'll find there are more than enough activities there to keep your money rolling out of your pockets.
The city itself holds a lot to offer in terms of nightlife and good eateries but we spent most of our time in El Campo, the countryside surrounding the city. That is where all the action happens! There are a number of travel agencies in the city centre and online, but getting recommendations from your fellow traveler in hostels and from locals is your best bet.
On friendly demand I took a local's advice and our first day there we took a local bus to the famous Mr Hugo's wine bike tour, yes that's right; you hire a bike and then tour around the surrounding vineyards and "bodegas" tasting wine and cheese samples all day and then attempt to cycle back in one piece.
Among a few of the many activities available are whitewater rafting, skydiving, horse riding, paragliding, rappelling and hiking, so there's definitely something to suit everyone's adventurous self. There are no need to worry if you are traveling alone nor if you are traveling with someone who shares different interests as many of the companies have activities being held simultaneously so whilst I was off horse riding through the Puente del Inca Valley crossing the Rio Vacas, my friends were off rappelling the Cerro Aconcagua, the Americas' tallest peak. Be sure to wrap up warm as no matter what time of year it is, those chilly winds keep you on your toes!
Though tired and sore from your days of adventures you are still probably full of adrenaline and ready to hit the town for a refueling, so be sure not to miss the Argentine delight of eating a good fresh steak that costs half the price of the bus ride there and will keep your energy levels pumping for your next days' escapades!
And if you are still feeling animated, why not finish your evening with a little live music and visit the lively plazas in which both tourists and locals join in some traditional Tango dancing. These are not for the serious Bailarinas of Tango but they are where you find friends, family and loved ones coming together to enjoy a light hearted evening of entertainment.
Mendoza is one of my favorite cities in Argentina with a diverse cultural background and something for everyone to appreciate. The locals are very friendly and more than happy to share their knowledge of their land. Not to be missed for those who crave adventure, breath taking sights, and a lot of tradition in one small city.

Couple Gets Twitter Backlash For Naming Their Baby After Football Team [PICTURE]
Bad parents? Ridiculous name? None of our business?
Bad parents? Ridiculous name? None of our business?
Picking a name for a baby can be tough, so maybe this study will help.
A good boy's name may very well be a good girl's name.
The boy's parents were in court because they could not agree on the child's last name, but when the judge heard the boy's first name...well, she made them change that first.
What's in a name?
We're always talking about the most popular names for little baby girls and boys.But how about names that could be used to name a boy or a girl. Call 'em gender neutral names. I have one – Dale. When I went to school – and it was a pretty large high school - there were only two students named Dale and the other was a girl.
"Especially now with people all around me trying to pay their mortgages and get by, I have $5,000 I can put towards my baby's future, and $5,000 makes a difference in my life. Here's the chance for me to do something really positive for my unborn son or daughter." Yeah..now explain to you kid that his name is Kemosabi because the internet picked that name.

Scientists in Canada have found evidence of the transgene present in genetically modified Roundup Ready corn in various soil-dwelling animals, pointing to "serious implications for environmental health and human safety."
The transgene, which makes the corn resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, has presented in four different animal types: macroarthropods and nematodes, and microarthropods and earthworms living in a field of Roundup Ready corn. About 81% of nematodes tested positive for the transgene, and more than a third of microarthropods.
"Whether the presence of transgenes in the soil food web presents a risk for soil animals is not known," wrote the scientists. This statement suggests that despite the widespread use of GMOs for years, the environmental effects remain unknown. The bad news? This evidence of concentrations of transgenic DNA in animals indicates that the transgene does not significantly degrade within the food web. The guts of these animals could allow genetic transformation into native soil bacteria, which could ultimately move into plants and pose risks to human health.

The ultimate copyCAT
When Amy Winehouse wrote her song 'F*** me pumps' about seriously sexy shoes, we reckon she was thinking along the lines of these killer leopard print heels. But the question is, fellow shoe hounds, which of the above are the designer dream shoes, and which are the reality check? Well, the ones on the left are the £360 Christian Louboutin's (the Pigalle pumps, from Net-a-Porter, to be precise) and the ones on the right are from the Freemans catalogue, a tenth of the price at £35. Not quite so glam, but they will allow you to follow this season's key shoe trend whilst keeping your bank manager off your back.

Lend the Pilgrim a Hand With Its Debut Album On Kickstarter
I've seen some powerfully bullshit Kickstarter pleas over the past year or so from bands you will never hear of, wanting, like, major label-style money to record a debut record and various things several miles past the border of self-obsessed self-indulgence, but there's also a flip-side to that of the young, talented band needing the bare minimum to get their record over the next hill. So, here's The Pilgrim, a tight psych-rock unit drawn from the membership of bands such as The Convocation and The Exploder and Sick Weapons, needing $2,400 to press an LP, which has been recorded and languishing since 2009. For $250 you get a bunch of merch and a lifetime of free shows and "Bob and Derrick's famous fried green tomatoes!" prepared in your home. But you could also just donate a dollar.

A non-world championship category for 500cc four-stroke machinery could join the World Superbike schedule from 2015 onwards.
With MotoGP rights owners Dorna now controlling World Superbikes too, plans to drastically reduce costs and the technical specification of machinery in WSB and World Supersport means the European Superstock 1000 and 600 classes look certain to be cut off the schedule in 2014.

lets get rid of the red bull rookies then as theres no need for moto3 and red bull rookies.its the same as getting rid of superstock because its similar to superbikes.just like the rookies cup superstock is for riders to cut there teeth and prove they have what it takes to ride in a fully fledged world championship.unless carmelo is replaced in 5 years there will be 1 world championship superbikes and gps will br made to unite as 1 and there will be moto3 and moto2 on the undercard which will rob us of the best racing which i the superbike series.
its about time the spectators decide who runs the championships as without us there would be no racing

SBK is suppose to be about production bikes racing. Ones that we(public) can buy and ride or race. Most of the big factories are builing 600cc bikes at the moment. And that is what is racing in superstock 600.
Now that they are wanting to bring in 500cc bikes. Now all the factories has got to develop a 500cc production bike to sell to the public and to race in SBK. So how the hell is that saving money????? Just keep WSBK the way it is. I will still watch bouth.
Dorna is going to bugger it ALL up.
I love watching MotoGP because that is the best of the best in motorbike racing you can get, just like F1. And I love watching WSBK because that is a bike I can go and buy and race.

Turn to the Bible
Your paper reported that the pope is having budget troubles with his beatification process. It seems it is becoming too costly to become a saint. I have good news. One may become a saint by following the prescription of the Bible, and it won't cost you a penny. Not only may one have the saintly blessing of our Great and Merciful High Priest, Jesus Christ the Righteous, but He also gave to the Christian the hallowed book of Hebrews to show us the way to priesthood. Which saints are the most powerful, those ordained by a college or the High Priest?
Abortion hurts America
Another year has come and gone and nothing has changed. Over 55 million babies and counting destroyed since Roe vs. Wade in 1973; about 4,000 aborted every day. America has hardened her heart to the point that no argument for life matters. We have aborted more children than all of the casualties in all the wars fought by America. Astounding! How does this affect our economy? The years of a generation are said to be between 20-40 years; I take the Biblical number of 40. We have killed one to two generations since 1973. What are the effects of this holocaust? We have lost the strength, intelligence, creativity, hope, vision, and productivity of our youth. We must rely on immigration, both legal and illegal, for unskilled labor and must import skilled labor. America is no longer America. When you are few, you are taken over by many. We are committing suicide and have ceased to be the great country our forefathers created. As moral arguments no longer prevail, as Joe Friday would say, the above are "just the facts, ma'am."
HELEN FUSSELL, Rossville
Cook position countered
When David Cook supports eco-terrorism (Jan. 16) by perpetuating this: "Property destruction is not always unethical or immoral," he totally ignores that the FBI has credited eco-terrorism with $300 million in property damage just from 2003 to 2008. Protest, of course. That is your First Amendment right, but burning and destroying other people's property is always wrong. One would think someone given this prominent role in the newspaper should know this basic truth.
ARTHUR DOUCETTE, East Ridge
HELEN FUSSELL, I'm sure your handlers don't tell you to think about the trash they give you. If the 4,000/day is in the U.S., that's one in ten women of childbearing age having an abortion EVERY year. Instead of writing letters, you should be handing out condoms on a street corner. Pumping out unwanted babies for the work force sounds good until you look at the unemployment rate.
I, too, question the accuracy of Ms. Fussell's "facts." And, she gives no credit -- or rights -- to the woman who finds herself with an unwanted pregnancy. A child should be wanted and cherished by its parents; those who are not have a very hard life.
The anti-choice crowd shows no interest in constructive measures to promote the "strength, intelligence, creativity, hope, vision, and productivity" of the American youth who are actually alive today. Instead, they are rabid about controlling women's bodies, then feel free to drop babies into poverty, ignorance, abuse, and virtual oblivion after they start breathing. Plus, Ms. Fussell seems to forget that America is a nation of immigrants, except for folks from the native tribes.
Well done!
I would add that ALL real Christians are saints.
The price was paid by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
HELEN FUSSELL, Rossville:
Well said!
Most in our country have abandoned God, the creator of all life and morals.
They have believed in the lie and impossibility of evolution wherein they are just matter and death just ends their existence.
No reason for life except to indulge in pleasure.
ARTHUR DOUCETTE, East Ridge
You nailed Mr. Cook. He and Ms. Sohn are as Liberal as they come.
The majority of the "newspapers" and mess media are of the same mindset as these two.
They keep losing money but their solution is more Godless Liberalism.
The proof is in the Bible. Just look up references to "saints" in the Bible or Google articles by Christian commentators on the subjects of how one becomes a Christian and who is a saint.
Then you will discover for yourself the meaning of the two terms and have the answers to your ?
conservative, perhaps journalists tend to be what you describe as "liberal" because they read, observe, and seek to understand events occurring across a broad spectrum of human experience and knowledge. They listen and earn new things every day. They aren't fixated on promoting mindless myths, and they don't seek to deny reality. In your view, that's "liberal."
How would you know that if you don't know who is a Christian and who is a saint?
Parroting a line from those who are ignorant of the meaning of the two terms would make you a victim of their ignorance.
Do your own research in order to gain knowledge and not be used.
conservy, you're the one who connected all real christians to bein a saint. I placed real in italics on purpose. All who claim to be christians consider themselves real christians, even when they behave most un-christianly. Especially the hateful and intolerant ones.
I added to June Griffin's comments that "ALL real Christians are saints ." This is their position in Christ, they are set apart to God by accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
The Catholic church can make no individual a saint Biblically speaking because it is the work of God and certainly no true Christian would pay anyone money to be designated a saint.
You used the ? in quoting me to doubt that.
If you want to fault those who act contrary to a profession of Christianity go ahead but please make the distinction.
When you say "not the ones of late" you falsely malign all Christians.
regarding your: "All who claim to be christians consider themselves real christians, even when they behave most un-christianly. Especially the hateful and intolerant ones"
So, who are those who claim to be Christians and can you give me examples of hate and intolerance by those?
Well, we could start with you conservy and many of your own prior rants and ragings. Then the entire list of just about everyone who's posted here claiming to be a christian then going on the spew hatred and bigotry. Admit it. Then ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, you're just a hypocrite in a long line of self-righteous hypocrites.
You guys trying to play nicey nice, victims and the injured party is suspicious.
If you can only be nice when someone comes along to tell you it's time to be nice now, what's to prevent you from reverting back to your old hateful self when another comes along and tell you it's time to go back to being mean and hateful?
You have made a false and hateful accusation.
You have provided no evidence, why? If you had any you would surely have provided such, right?
Furthermore, tell me what God hates if you can.
I see that you are taking your time posting examples of hate and bigotry that you accused me of.
Don't you understand that such false accusations by you are a form of hate?
Don't you understand that such false accusations by you are a form of hate?
Nope! Not when the accusations aren't false. Now, repent!
What brought about the change? U guys figured God might just be watching after all? Or did word come down from your righty leaders to try a nicer approach?
Well, false accusations are a form of hate jjmez.
Now you seem set on living in hate.
Your hate will ultimately devour you jjmez.
The con-man always acts like some kind of saint, professing to "hate the sin but love the sinner." But he is so consumed with self-righteousness that he cannot see the extent of his own hate. Many Christians like to think that they are somehow "washed" in the blood of Jesus and made perfect by his grace. But even if they were made perfect, that still would not give them the right to go around pointing out other people's sins. All he ever does is speak stridently AGAINST those whom he deems to be sinners and how they are not going to heaven but are bound for hell. He is the epitome of negativity, hate, self-righteousness, and arrogance. If he is going to heaven, I will gladly go to hell just to be rid of his ilk once and for all.

In the beginning, all was good. People lived in harmony and peace. Before they knew it, evil entered into the world. It terrorized the people and destroyed what had been intended for them. Yet, a savior arose! Not realizing he intended to save mankind, the people worked together to kill him. Eventually, after defeating evil once and for all, this savior died. The good news? He didn't stay dead. He rose again and he is now ruling and reigning over all of creation.
That sounds a lot like your pastor's description of Jesus, right? Wrong!
I saw the new movie, Godzilla, the other evening. I walked out and was talking to myself in the parking lot, which was creepy enough, but I kept saying, "Godzilla is the gospel!"

Google have a habit of springing product launches and product innovations without much fanfare (Google Android 2.2 update in May of last year, Self Driving Cars in October) and the same happened with Google Instant back in September.
Touted by Google as 'Search before you type', the insight behind the engine's revision is that people want to have the most likely search result displayed before they finish typing their full query. I've been using Google instant for the last couple of months and I'm a fan. It took me a bit of time to get used to the full search results appearing before I finished typing; almost like somebody interrupting before I've finished speaking. Rude. Although not as instant in my forgiveness as Google are with their results, I've not only accepted this impoliteness I now prefer the experience.
Using Google instant I have noticed typing less - (one worries that a lack of typing will lead to fat fingers). The main advantage of Google Instant, according to the company, is time saved. Google cite time savings of between 2 and 5 seconds per search inquiry which combined, works out to be 11 hours saved every second. Not only are they saving hours, days weeks, months, years and lifetimes…combine this with the launch of Yahoo! Direct and they very well might make a break in the Space—time continuum.
As mentioned above Yahoo! Direct has now launched and if indeed, imitation is the greatest form of flattery, Google should be blushing. I wouldn't exactly call Yahoo! Direct an exact copy but certainly a variation on a theme.
In addition to quicker results and less typing one thing that Google Instant and Yahoo Direct have in common is censorship. Neither will display search results for certain words. Upon Launch Google decided to manage the user experience on some specific keywords and for example, if one types the word 'ass' (followed by a space) Google Instant becomes tongue tied and displays a blank results page. Donkey lovers beware, Google Instant does not appreciate asses of any kind in the query box. Yahoo! Direct on the other hand is flexible on donkey related keywords and seems to have less blocking even on somewhat more risqué terms. If you're interested to see what Google deems unworthy of an instant response you can check out a Google user blacklist here but be warned, there are some rather choice keywords included in this list. There doesn't seem to be a similar blacklist available for Yahoo at the moment.
Of course advertisers are interested in how this new search experience impacts their marketing. Having talked with some search experts their advice was as follows…
Paid Search
- Look at extending the length of keyword phrases and focus on long tail queries.
- Be careful when using CTR as a benchmark. Search engines credit an appearance in instant results as an impression and so with more impressions and the same number of clicks, CTR could drop.
Search Engine Optimisation
- With results appearing automatically against fewer, un-typed keywords it is as important as ever to focus on core, highly relevant search terms and their optimisation.
- SEO strategies should allow experimentation with page titles and snippets of keywords. The way that people are searching will change with the appearance of Instant results which will in turn impact on keywords that sites use. The ways users search will see a move from single keyword to phrase based strings of keywords.
Although the impact of Instant search on advertising results hasn't been fully realised, it is safe to say that users search experience has changed (if only slightly) and a broader gradual shift is happening in search. These revisions benefit the user experience and maintain relevance. I'm a fan of instant and think well done Google on the innovation and congrats to Yahoo for copying. Having attended a Google conference in HK earlier this week I think we can also look forward to additional developments around personalization, voice and the mobile search experiences over the coming months.

During the return leg of the student pilot's cross-country flight, the engine lost all power, and the student pilot performed a forced landing to trees. Examination of the wreckage by an FAA inspector revealed that the left fuel tank was full, but the right fuel tank contained about 1 gallon of fuel. Prior to the student renting the airplane, it was completely fueled, then flown 1.1 hours. A flight instructor met with the student pilot prior to her flight, and told her to fly out on the right tank, and fly back on the left. However, the student pilot thought she had 12 gallons of fuel in the right tank, and flew the entire cross-country flight with the fuel selector positioned to the right tank. After the power loss, the student pilot did not switch fuel tanks. The right fuel tank had indicated mid-range, and she believed that sufficient fuel remained in the right tank. Review of a discrepancies form revealed that during the 2 months prior to the accident, the right fuel tank gauge was entered twice, but the operator took no corrective action.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

CENTREVILLE, Md. (AP) -- Authorities say 3,000 chickens were killed in a fire in Centreville.
The State Fire Marshal's Office says the birds were killed in a fire on Dec. 26 in a chicken house. The Star-Democrat of Easton reports (http://bit.ly/1g4vgVo) that it took 30 firefighters about 20 minutes to bring the blaze under control.
The fire marshal's office says the blaze, which started in the main electrical panel inside the chicken house, was accidental.

When a sovereign faces the risk of debt default, it may be tempted to expropriate the private sector. This may be one reason why international investment in private companies has to take into account the sovereign risk. But the likelihood of sovereign risk transferring to corporates and increasing their risk of default may be mitigated by legal institutions that provide strong property rights protection. Using a novel credit default swaps (CDS) data set covering government and corporate entities across thirty countries, we study both the average strength of the transfer risks and the role of institutions in mitigating such risks. We find that 1) sovereign risk on average has a statistically and economically significant influence on corporate credit risks (all else equal, a 100 basis point increase in the sovereign CDS spread leads to an increase in corporate CDS spreads of 71 basis points); 2) the sovereign-corporate relation varies across corporations, with state-owned companies exhibiting a stronger relation with the sovereign; and 3) the presence of strong property rights institutions, however, tends to weaken the connection. In contrast, contracting institutions (offering protection of creditor rights or minority shareholder rights) do not appear to matter much in this context.

text: NBC Twists Tiger Woods Quote to Falsely Hype Obama's Golf 'Game' Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 21 Feb 2013 post a comment On Wednesday, NBC News deliberately twisted a quote from Tiger Woods's Tuesday press conference to give viewers the impression that President Barack Obama was a much better golfer than Woods actually claimed he was. In a fawning TODAY Show segment about Woods' remarks about last weekend's golf outing at the exclusive Floridian golf club, NBC News reporter Peter Alexander enthusiastically claimed Obama had "game" because Woods said "he's a pretty good stick." One problem. Woods did not exactly say that. Woods never said Obama had "game" or a "pretty good stick." What Woods said was that if, after Obama leaves the presidency, Obama "spends more time playing the game of golf," the president could get to the point where he could have "game" or "a pretty good stick." But even when devoting a segment to something as trivial as Obama's golf game, NBC News did all it could to twist Woods's words to embellish Obama's golf game and put Obama in a favorable light. The on-screen headline for the segment that viewers saw was: "'He's A Pretty Good Stick'; Tiger Woods on Golf Outing With President Obama." Yet, this is what Woods said in the very clip NBC ran during the segment: WOODS: After these four years, if he spends more time playing the game of golf, I'm sure he can actually get to where he's a pretty good stick. And here are Alexander's comments right after Woods's comments aired in the clip: ALEXANDER: In golf-speak, that means the President's got game. Perhaps in NBC-speak, Woods's comments could mean Obama had "game." But those whose primary agenda is not to put Obama in the best light possible would not take Woods's words to mean Obama had "game" on the golf course now. Here is the clip of the segment from Newsbusters:

Let's First Respond to Tragedy with Support
Victor Fornari, MD
In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, the world asks, "Why?" Such violence transcends our capacity to understand it, especially because so many victims were innocent young children.
Every day, new bits of data — sometimes unsubstantiated — emerge about the alleged shooter and his primary relationships. At this point, it's too early to speculate on his motives.
We would do well to refrain from trying to hypothesize how this could happen, but focus on healing instead. It is critical to support and reassure children and their families, and serve as models of strength and courage. Please remember that counseling or support is available for families and individuals who need help.Full Post - to Detail View
