Sky Marshalls and the US Army
Back in the 1980's we had some hijacking of commercial planes and the word Terrorist was just coined. Just in time for the US ARMY and it shooting teams. It happened like this:
Sarge was a member of the Colorado State Army Pistol Team and this year the team was HOT! We had taken all the local matches, the reginal matches and the Forcecom Match. An it was a good year for the other Colorado teams, following our lead the State Rifle Team and the State Machine gun team all came out on top. So we all were on our way to the National Armed Forces Matches at Little Rock, Arkansas. Camp Robertson was now the official National Match range for the US Army Reserves and National Guard. This is where the State teams battled to see who would win the National Title.
Because of all three teams qualifying the State ran out of Air Transportation and was forced to send all three teams by Commercial Air Transportation.
So here we were at the Denver Airport. First in line was the Pistol Team, then the Rifle Team, and then the guys that had to carry their weapons and equipment in with fork lifts, the machine gun team. I might add that we all were in uniform, combat fatigues with berets.
And the civilian Airport ticket seller whipped out a plasticized list of things you could not take on an air plane and began to read it out loud. Our Team Captain had all our sets of orders and the paper work for our baggage and tickets. When the Airline employee got to "GUNS" Our Captain said "Yes" and the guy kept reading for a couple more lines before he realized that the Captain had answered. He stopped. Looked at the Captain and said "I beg your pardon, did you just say 'Yes' to something?" The Captain repeated himself, "You asked if we had any guns and I said 'YES'."
This really upset the guy and he pawed through the drawer to find something that he obviously was suppose to keep handy or know the contents of. Pulling another list of instructions out he announced to us that he was suppose to physically check each and every firearm to assure himself that they were empty and no ammunition was present. Then they would have to go in the cargo hold of the plane.
"OK" agreed the Captain, and asked "Where can we go to check our baggage"
"You are not going anywhere until I check each and every gun, where are they?" the employee replied and in a haughty tone of voice. The Captain was not used to being addressed like that and he looked over at Sarge and winked. He then turned back to the clerk and said, "These 12 boxes here, pointing to our pistol boxes on the floor, each have 4 to 5 high power pistols in them. The long boxes of the 10 guys behind us all have 2 ea. AR 16 high power military rifles in them and the 6 guys back there have 6 machine guns in their big boxes. The clerk damn near fainted and started to pushing buttons and yelling for the police. Then the Captain picked up his Pistol Box and set it on the counter, opened the side door and pulled out a Colt 1911A1 45 acp. He held it up high in the air and slapped the slide back with a very convincing sound.
Silence............. And then screams! and running feet. Bodies falling in a dead faint. A couple of hippies in beads and long hair wet their pants and the sound of sirens rent the air. Captain handed the Colt to the Airlines employee for him to check and stepped back with his hands in the air in a classic "I surrender !" position. Here came the Sky Marshalls and they all had their guns out and pointed at Mr. 'Know it all' Airlines Employee. He turned absolutely white in the face. Then the Captain turned and addressed the point man Sky Marshall, "I told him we should go to the safe room to check the guns for ammunition but he insisted they had to be checked here.
Good thing we were a couple of hours early at the airport. I wonder if that Airlines clerk works for TSA now.
If a man strikes you on the cheek
Being a Christian the only thing you can do
Is to help him up off the ground.

sarge_257: Sir, another interesting ''life'' story
♥ Exercise daily - walk with the Lord!
The girl at the metal detector told me I was not allowed to bring my pocket knife into the LA. Kings hockey game. Not quite as dramatic.
Great story Sarge.
Sarge- not meaning to hijack thread- but I LIVE on airplanes. One day I will forget that I have a mini Swiss Army or a leatherman in my computer bag, pocket, etc. In the computer bag is a padded, stamped self addressed envelope. Drop item in envelope, seal, drop in mail, get it back.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Congratulations, Sarge. You have just descibed El Al Airlines- the state airline of Israel. The folks that have never had a sucessful hijacking aboard one of their aircraft.
HAhaha....Good story Sarge!
That it does. But for our team we had to use it. After our little "set too" we would ask up front to go to the security room to have our firearms checked. We found on old soldier on the payroll that loved to work the actions on our pistols and always asked for him to check us. When I moved back to Denver from Anchorage, Alaska I sent all my guns home via UPS and FEDEX. Had a little trouble with FEDEX but I flashed my FFL license and my Private Investigator badge at the clerk and she fell all over herself giving me the best and fastest service. (for the gun shipment that is) LOL

Jos. A. Bank turns down Men's Wearhouse offer
Jos. A. Bank rejected a takeover offer from competitor Men's Wearhouse, saying the $1.54 billion bid is too low.
Jos. A. Bank rejected a takeover offer from competitor Men's Wearhouse, saying the $1.54 billion bid is too low.
Men's Wearhouse said Monday that it will "carefully consider all of our options to make this combination a reality." That may include launching a proxy battle. Men's Wearhouse said it could nominate director candidates at Jos. A. Bank's next annual meeting.
It's the latest twist in the effort to combine the two companies. Putting the two together would create a men's clothing powerhouse with more than 1,700 outlets. In September, a few months after Men's Wearhouse ousted its founder and chairman, George Zimmer, Jos. A. Bank offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion, or $48 per share. Men's Wearhouse turned down that offer, and after Jos. A. Bank dropped the bid, Men's Wearhouse turned the tables with its own offer, for $1.54 billion, or $55 per share.
Shares of The Men's Wearhouse fell 51 cents to $51.50 in late morning trading, and Jos. A. Bank stock declined 30 cents to $56.73.
Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. said its board unanimously rejected the offer from Fremont, Calif.-based Men's Wearhouse. The Hampstead, Md., company said it will continue to look into acquisition opportunities that would create value for its shareholders.
In June, Men's Wearhouse pushed out Zimmer following a dispute over the direction of the company. In August the retailer completed its acquisition of JA Holdings, which owns the Joseph Abboud brand.
Jos. A. Bank sells men's tailored and casual clothing and shoes. It's known for promotions like buying one suit or sport coat and getting three for free. Men's Wearhouse sells men's clothing and suits through its namesake chain of stores, as well as Moores and the K&G retail chain. Recently, the company has been going after younger shoppers with suits with slimmer silhouettes.

Study finds a scant amount of the $4 billion pot actually gets to IT R&D
A report released today by a group of leading scientists and engineers said only a "substantial fraction" of the estimated $4 billion federal agencies get for IT research and development actually goes for those purposes.
The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) is a group of people with expertise in science and technology -- including Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and Microsoft Chief Research and Strategy Officer Craig Mundie -- appointed by the president. Its role is to provide the administration with expert independent advice on advanced IT.
The study assesses the status and direction of the federal Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program. The program is the primary mechanism by which the government coordinates its unclassified networking and information technology (NIT) research and development (R&D) investments.
Related coverage:
'Sputnik moment': It's 1957 all over again
PCAST found that a "substantial fraction" of the NITRD multi-agency spending specifically represents spending that supports R&D in other fields, rather than spending on R&D on NIT itself. As a result, the report found the country is actually spending far less on networking and IT R&D than the $4 billion-plus indicated in the federal budget.
To provide a scientific basis for its assessment of NITRD, PCAST appointed an expert 14-member working group that consulted with more than 50 individuals, including government officials, industry representatives, and experts from academia.
One reason the funding may never have found its way to the IT areas of high-performance computing, cybersecurity and large-scale networking could be a misinterpretation of what "IT development" actually means. The trend seems to be agencies using IT to advance the research in their own fields, such as souped-up databases, but "not driving the forefront of networking and information technology," Ed Lazowska, a co-chair of the working group, told the Washington Post.
The study calls for a more accurate accounting of this spending and recommends more spending on NITRD, including research in networking and information technology for health, energy and transportation.
"Our world today relies to an astonishing degree on networking and information technology systems, tools and services," PCAST said in a statement. "… it is no exaggeration to say that this field today underpins the nation's prosperity, health and security," the statement continued.
Although high-performance computing remains critical to national security and economic competitiveness, the most widely followed international rankings of HPC system performance are based on metrics that capture only some of the capabilities that are relevant to America's current national priorities, the report indicates. The document also states the United States must not allow disproportionate expenditures for the procurement of supercomputers to displace the fundamental research that will be required to develop "game-changing" future-generation HPC technologies.
This concept draws parallels to the recent surge in "Sputnik moment" references made by President Barack Obama, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Energy Secretary Steven Chu in recent weeks.
"In 1957, just before this college opened, the Soviet Union beat us into space by launching a satellite known as Sputnik," Obama said in a speech at Forsyth Technical Community College in North Carolina on Dec. 6. "And that was a wake-up call that caused the United States to boost our investment in innovation and education – particularly in math and science."
"So 50 years later," he continued, "our generation's Sputnik moment is back."

|Hybrid connection model - A connection manager to manage connections between a web server using a hybrid connection model. The hybrid connection model is optimized to minimize system resources necessary to maintain an idle connection The hybrid connection model decreases resources required during idle times by using a single or set of poller threads to monitor for socket events for all idle connections. The connection is then assigned a worker thread when further data is ready to be transferred over a connection.
|Event driven sendfile - A file transfer manager for managing file transfers using the sendfile operation. The sendfile operation is optimized to minimize system resources necessary to complete the file transfer. The sendfile decreases resources required during idle times by sharing a thread with other idle sendfile operations. The sendfile operation is then assigned a worker thread when further data is ready to be transfered.
|Multi-Level Load Balancer - The multi-level load balancing system receives requests for resources provided by any of a plurality of resource nodes. The multi-level load balancing system receives a first result from a first load balancing module that orders each of the plurality of nodes that are available to service the request based on a first algorithm. The multi-level load balancing system then receives a second result from a second load balancing module that orders each of the plurality of nodes that are available to service the request based on a second algorithm. The multi-level load balancing system combines the first result and the second result to form a third result that is uses to select one of the plurality of resources nodes to service the request.
|Content Based Load Balancer - A content based load balancing system receives a request for data provided by a resource. The content based load balancing system searches a content history cache for a content history cache entry corresponding to the requested data. The content based history cache then selects a resource node to service the request based on the content history cache entry corresponding to the data.
|Session Affinity Cache and Manager - A method and apparatus for managing sessions by a load balancer using a session affinity cache to manage common session identifiers and resource node session identifiers. A session affinity manager within the load balancer utilizes a common session identifier to represent multiple sessions to a client. The session affinity manager provided generates a common session identifier for a set of resource node sessions for each client. The relationship between the resource node session identifiers and common session identifier is maintained in the session affinity cache by the session affinity manager. The session affinity manager translates client requests using the common session identifier into requests using the resource node session identifier retrieved from the session affinity cache. The session affinity manager rewrites resource node responses to use a common session identifier in place of resource node session identifiers.
|Web Server Cache Pre-Fetching - A method and apparatus for a server that includes a file processor that interprets each requested data file, such as a web page, requested by a client in a process analogous to that of a browser application or other requesting application.

This week's Read This Next book is In Red by Magdalena Tulli, translated from the Polish by Bill Johnston, and coming out from Archipelago Books in September.
In Red is the fourth Tulli book to come out from Archipelago, following on Dreams and Stones, Flaw, and Moving Parts. The jacket copy from their site isn't overly informative, but does provide a bit of an outline:
In this latest groundbreaking novel, Magdalena Tulli creates a world that is unreal, yet strangely familiar and utterly convincing. Set in a mythical fourth partition of Poland, In Red is full of dreamlike descriptions of the town and its inhabitants; its power lies in Tulli's evocative, almost hallucinatory use of language.
Here's a bit from the introduction Lily Ye wrote for the RTN site:
Miniature in size, and coming in at less than 160 half-sized pages, In Red should not be overlooked. We chose this book precisely for the compact strength Tulli employs in activating language and her enthralling power to quickly induce a vision of a truly fantastic world. This translation by Bill Johnston showcases Tulli's mastery of metaphor and the measured control of her prose.
This book marks the beginning of Tulli's transition into a more narrative style of writing. Her first book Dreams and Stones, which won Poland's Koscielski award for promising writers under 40, has been described by Johnston, her primary translator, as more of a prose poem than a novel. Her latest work, Flaw, already shows her developing a more linear narrative. In Red strikes somewhere in between the two, making for a delightfully surprising read throughout.
Click here to read an extended preview of In Red. And we'll be posting an interview with Bill Johnston tomorrow, and an full review of the book on Friday.

An Ohio man who committed an unimaginable crime of murdering a 6-month-old baby girl as he forced sex on her 15 years ago was finally executed in Ohio yesterday before a crowd that included his family and the mother of the child he violated over a decade ago.
via Fox News
One family wept loudly and another family cheered Wednesday as a man was executed for killing a 6-month-old as he forced sex on her.
Steve Smith, 46, was executed by lethal injection at the state prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio for the 1998 killing of his live-in girlfriend's daughter, Autumn Carter, in Mansfield.
Smith had recently tried to get his sentence reduced to life in prison, arguing that he was too drunk to realize that his assault was killing Autumn and that he didn't mean to hurt her. The Ohio Parole Board and Gov. John Kasich turned him down unanimously.
In the 25 minutes between when Smith walked into the death chamber flanked by prison guards and when the lethal injection killed him, his only child, 21-year-old Brittney, and his niece sobbed and shook with grief.
Smith declined to say any last words, then looked at Brittney sitting behind a pane of glass.
As the lethal injection began, Smith took several heavy breaths before he closed his eyes. He was pronounced dead at 10:29 a.m.
Less than 3 feet away from Brittney and separated by a wall, Autumn's mother — Kesha Frye — watched Smith quietly. After he was dead, Frye's sister pumped her fists in the air.
"I'm glad he's dead, and I hope he burns in hell," Frye said surrounded by her family after the execution.
This story is so sad and disgusting. We're glad this family got at least some form of justice.

After nearly 60 years as the anchor of The Shops at Queens Chillum, Giant Food supermarket is closing, raising questions about the future of the shopping center located just outside Mount Rainier city limits.
The 40,000-square-foot Giant supermarket and pharmacy, located at 3104 Queens Chapel Road, will close April 4 after being open at the site since 1954. The closure comes after Fleisher Jewelers of Maryland closed its store at the center in January after being open there since 1949. "Hopefully something will come in, because one dead storefront tends to bring in more," said Mount Rainier resident Rick Ruggles, 57.
The center is owned by Chillum Center LLC, a group of four Montgomery County residents who united to purchase the shopping center in 2006, said Joan Weber, a center spokeswoman.
Weber said the center has 11 businesses in operation currently, with three vacant spaces, but two of the vacancies will soon be filled.
Matthews Barbering Co. is planning to open after remodeling, which could happen in the coming days, she said. Weber also said a 6,000-square-foot Mid Atlantic Seafood restaurant, a regional restaurant chain, will open at the site of the former Dollar General store.
The shopping center owners also plan on retaining another supermarket to act as an anchor, Weber said.
"We are very excited," Weber said. "I know it sounds very strange to say that, but we believe very much in the center."
She said the owners have already reached out to a roster of regional, national and international supermarket chains to fill the vacancy.
Officials with Giant Food LLC, based in Landover, would not comment outside of a statement released this month by the company stating that the decision to close the store was made after a review of the company's store operating performances.
Hyattsville Councilwoman Paula Perry (Ward 4) said she did not shop at the Giant all that often, but was discouraged to see it close because she did not want to see more vacancies in the area. "Anytime any store closes down in the area it bothers me because it is one more store that is now vacant," Perry said. "I know that [the Giant] was convenient for people in the Chillum area and Mount Rainier area. Whenever a store closes down, it's just another vacant storefront and more people losing jobs."

Ended up landing at Hooks just as a convective SIGMET was issued. What would've been 40nm direct turned out to be 150nm, skirting and threading storm cells to 40,000 with heavy rain, lightning and hail. Slipped into Pearland during a break.

Tiny drive-in theater hopes for donationsOctober 24,2013Drive-in theater
seeking donations
BETHEL The operators of whats believed to be the smallest drive-in theater in the country are hoping an online fundraising campaign can help them buy a digital movie projector.
A digital projector typically costs upward of $70,000, according to Adam Gerhard, who has been leasing the 60-year-old Randall Drive-in Theatre in Bethel.
He and co-operator Regina Franz are seeking about $45,000 and make up the rest from raffles and corporate sponsorships.
Gerhard told the Valley News if they cant get the projector, the seasonal cinema might not return for another engagement.
They have a Dec. 13 deadline to meet their goal.
The 150-car drive-in theater has bounced back from damage by several strong storms, including Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.MORE IN This Just InRutland City Police said Friday evening the department's phone lines were down.
