Continuing the Vision
Eretz Israel , the Land of Israel , is on the international negotiating table. Nothing else. Only Eretz Israel . The world is interested in the welfare of Arabs only where it is possible to attack the Jews. Syria is drowning in rivers of Arab blood, demonstrations in Egypt end with many dead, all of Europe is swept by an extremist Islamic wave that threatens to drown it, the entire Middle East shakes and seems to be hanging by a thread, and the world is so good as to utter a few pretty, hypocritical condemnations, and then quickly goes on as usual – to the "most problematic conflict" in the world – the "territories," a code name for Eretz Israel.
What is in Eretz Israel that draws so much attention?
Water? Mineral deposits? Open spaces? Oil? Gold? Diamonds?
How is it that, despite all that it does not possess, it is one of the most flourishing countries in the world, in the development of modern industry, medicine, agriculture, high-tech?
It's because its children have returned to their G-d given promised land, and transformed the desert and wasteland into a settled land, whose fruits are in abundance on roadsides and in stores, its towers reach to the sky, our science is purchased and advances underdeveloped lands.
In light of all this, Israel should have been proud and certain of its capabilities, guarding its borders well, finely understanding its historical role. But, just look, Eretz Israel is on the negotiating table. It stands there alone, its defenders have grown weary, its politicians, instead of safeguarding it, play a dangerous game with it. In the bad-case scenario, this is just "playing with fire," at the immoral and unbearable cost of releasing 104 terrorists and nothing more – "because in the end the Arabs will torpedo the negotiations and save us from an agreement" as many people wish; and in the even worse-case scenario, this "playing with fire" is liable to leave much more serious burns. We still can smell the stench of the burns from Yamit ,Sinai, Gush Katif, northern Samaria , Hebron. With eyes wide open, our leaders continue to jump into the fire, to receive burns of even higher degree.
It is possible to change course: to leave the path that leads to concessions, and, at long last, to enter the Eretz Israel path of preserving our historical possessions, the path of the application of sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, and the actualization of our sovereignty and the guarding of our rights everywhere – in all of Jerusalem , and especially on the Temple Mount, in Galilee, the Negev, south Tel Aviv.
The choice is in our hands: to choose the path that leads, Heaven forbid, to the loss of values and physical destruction , or to choose the vision, the path that leads to the values that Israeli society already held dear in the beginnings of Zionism, in the establishment of the State of Israel, in the settlement enterprise, in the draining of swamps, in the ingathering of exiles, in Operation Entebbe….
We in Women in Green choose to continue and increase our activities for the redemption of lands and the guarding of state lands on the hills of Judea . Along with this, we wish to advance a national campaign for the application of Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria . We need partners for this.
The ideology of the left – that is, dispossessing us from Eretz Israel – was advanced with tremendous international financing, with perseverance, by well-planned and sophisticated campaigns, and with massive media support. Thus, despite the opposition of the majority of the people of Israel that believes that the Land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel , the left has succeeded in infiltrating its positions into the Israeli consciousness, as if this were the only ideology that can, and may, be discussed. Every other vision is dismissed by those who champion the "two-state theory" as being delusional and proven to be wrong.
The time has come for the national camp to awaken. The time has come to present the alternative that states, clearly and decisively, that this is our land, and to do so professionally and correctly.
About three years ago our movement began to advance in the Israeli consciousness the vision of the application of sovereignty. We held three major conferences in Hebron and in Jerusalem , with the participation of government ministers, Members of Knesset, public figures, and hundreds of supporters from throughout Israel . In addition to the major conferences, in the past year we also held smaller meetings and conferences throughout the country. Now the time has come for a large national campaign.
A well-planned campaign, that will effect a change in the consciousness, that will show to the people as a whole, and mainly to its leaders, that the application of sovereignty can indeed be implemented, gradually, together with intensive aliyah activity and the encouragement of Jewish births.
If we desire life, we must begin a Zionist offensive that will drive home to all of us the necessity of a return to our roots, to the true vision of full Jewish sovereignty over Eretz Israel .
For our future, and the future of coming generations.
About the Author: Updates on the continuation of the campaign for the application of sovereignty, and especially on the channels in which each of us can be a partner in this undertaking, will appear on the Women in Green website, in mailings to the e-mail list, and on Facebook.

One Response to "Continuing the Vision"
There is something inherent in the Jewish psyche that enables these so called leftists into thinking that by surrendering the land they are fulfilling their role in negative Judaism. This cancerous thought has been within Judaism for as long as the Reform Movement has been alive. Reform Judaism is basically a leftist operation designed to tear down and destroy modern day Judaism. By joining forces with the elements of evil, be they Arabs in the Middle East, or the Democratic Party in the USA, these leftists would delight if Israel would simply vanish along with the Jews who reside in the country. What Hitler and the Third Reich could not accomplish, these leftist Jews will…that is the complete elimination of Torah Judaism in Israel and eventually worldwide.

Good News for Chocolate Fans
Amy Campbell
July 23, 2007
"It seems like anything that tastes good isn't good for you." This was a lament I heard more times than I can remember from patients who were bemoaning what they thought was the loss of their favorite foods. While this isn't 100% true, it can certainly seem that way, especially for people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes or who find out they have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, for example. However, there's good news for chocolate lovers: Chocolate can actually be good for you!
But don't rush out and load up on Hershey Kisses just yet—read on to learn how and why chocolate may actually be more friend than foe.
Chocolate is made from cacao beans that are roasted and then cracked. The insides of the beans, or the "nibs," are crushed into a paste called chocolate liquor (which contains no alcohol). Chocolate liquor can be made into cocoa powder if the fat (cocoa butter) is removed. But to make chocolate, sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, vanilla, and milk (in the case of milk chocolate) are combined. The chocolate then goes through various refining processes to give it a smooth, silky texture. Dark chocolate contains more cocoa than milk chocolate, contains no milk, and also is lower in sugar.
Why is chocolate considered healthy, then? Well, it's really the dark chocolate that carries the health benefits (sorry, all you milk chocolate lovers). You may recall from previous posts and other reading you've done that some foods contain phytonutrients called flavonoids, which are a type of antioxidant. Cocoa, or cacao, beans are rich in flavonoids. Researchers have been learning more and more about flavonoids in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and tea. Now they've added chocolate to their list. So, then, what health benefits does dark chocolate have to offer? To date, a handful of studies have shown some surprising, but positive, effects from eating chocolate.
In one study, 21 healthy adults were split into two groups—one group got to eat a Dove chocolate bar every day for two weeks (yes, this was a tough study to be part of!). The Dove bar was rich in flavonoids, which are thought to help lower cholesterol and lower the risk of blood clots. But the second group wasn't totally deprived—they, too, ate a chocolate bar every day for two weeks, but their chocolate had the flavonoids removed. After the two weeks, all subjects had a test to evaluate how well their blood vessels dilated and relaxed, an indication of how healthy their blood vessels were. The Dove bar group scored significantly better than the regular chocolate bar group.
Dark chocolate may also help lower blood pressure in people who have hypertension. In this particular study, published in the July 4 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, half of a group of 44 adults with either high blood pressure or prehypertension was told to eat 30 calories of dark chocolate every day for 18 weeks. The other half ate 30 calories of white chocolate (which contains no flavonoids) every day. After 18 weeks, the dark chocolate group had a 2.9 mm Hg drop in systolic blood pressure (the top number), and a 1.9 mm Hg drop in diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number). The white chocolate group had no change in blood pressure.
Researchers speculate that dark chocolate increases levels of nitric oxide in the body, which helps blood vessels relax and open up. And other studies have shown that eating dark chocolate can improve insulin sensitivity, or how well insulin works in the body, which, in turn, may help with blood glucose control.
Here's the catch: Chocolate is certainly no substitute for taking your blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes medicine. And chocolate is definitely not a low-calorie, low-fat treat. A 1.3-ounce Dove Dark Chocolate singles bar contains 190 calories, 12 grams of fat (7 of them saturated), and 22 grams of carbohydrate.
While there is no set recommendation for how much chocolate you need to eat to reap its health benefits, it's OK to fit in a small amount (1 ounce, for example) of chocolate every day as long as you account for the calories, fat, and carbs in your meal plan. Also, try to choose dark chocolate with a cocoa content higher then 50% and main ingredients of cocoa butter and cocoa solids. And when the cold wind blows, settle down with a cup of cocoa, which can do wonders for your heart.
How can a recipe for a dessert be posted on a diabetic website that has 3/4 of a cup of SUGAR in it as was done by Nancy Cooper????? I am a Type II diabebic and if I ate a dessert with that much sugar my blood glucose count would go out of sight. She could at least suggest Splenda. NOT GOOD. Maybe it was not intented for diabetics but one would think so since its put in diabetic publication.

Hi sonic,
Posted by: acampbell | Nov 04, 2008 01:49 PM
1 hour after a meal of 45g of all bran I registered a glucose level of 8.9. 1 hour later I consumed 50g of dark chocolate which gave me a reading of 4.9 a further hour later. Since both of these food intakes had similar glycemic loads, this observation might support the assertion that insulin resistance might be remedied by dark chocolate. I have observed this apparent anonaly in the past, but now recognise that there must be some beneficial effect from dark chocolate.

Hi marcphil2,

Sugar is the biggest carbohydrate in most of todays foods, I'd say... Different carbohydrates have different absorption levels. For example, white bread is many times more leather in terms of raising blood sugar levels than brown bread is...
Posted by: Andrei | Mar 08, 2010 10:53 AM
Lethal, not leather.
Posted by: Andrei | Mar 08, 2010 11:03 AM
Hi Andrei, Sugar in its various forms is abundant in many of the processed foods that we eat. And you're correct that different types of carbohydrate foods affect blood glucose in different ways. However, you might be surprised that white bread has almost the same glycemic index as whole wheat bread, and both are high. Glycemic index is a rating of how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood glucose. Also, dark rye bread has a high glycemic index. Sourdough bread, on the other hand, which is essentially a white bread, has a low glycemic index. Many other factors affect the glycemic index of a food, too, such as in what form it's eaten, how it's cooked, how much fat is eaten with it, etc.
Posted by: acampbell | Mar 08, 2010 05:38 PM
I found that the really dark chocolate (80% cocoa or more)... high in fiber, lower in sugar and carbs is really good. It seems to cause no spikes (i'm unmedicated, controlling my levels with exercise and diet) and may in fact lower levels a little. This is all personal evidence.... but it's been holding true for about 6 months now. Like everything else of course.... moderation is the key.

pls mail me as iam a pure vegetarian, the names of vegetables,fruits,cereals,chocklates and other eatables that i can take as iam a newly diagonised diabetic. thanks k.santhanam
Posted by: k.santhanam | Sep 22, 2010 01:12 PM
Hi k. santhanam, Unfortunately, I really can't e-mail you a list of foods. The fact is that, with diabetes, you can eat all fruits and vegetables, grains, and protein foods (obviously, you'd avoid animal foods). The key is knowing how much to eat of healthy foods to manage your blood glucose. Your eating plan works with any diabetes medicine that you may be taking, as well as with your physical activity. My advice is to ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian who specializes in diabetes. He or she can develop an eating plan with you that fits your dietary needs, food preferences, and lifestyle. You can also find a dietitian in your area by going to the Web site www.eatright.org.
Posted by: acampbell | Sep 28, 2010 08:21 AM
Hi Nancy, One cup of low-fat chocolate milk has about 26 grams of carbohydrate, or twice the amount of carbohydrate as one cup of plain low-fat milk. So, chocolate milk can have a significant impact on blood glucose. You can account for it, but it might mean that you have to eat less of other carbohydrate foods, or else, if you take premeal insulin, adjust your insulin to cover the chocolate milk.

How does chocolate milk affect blood sugar levels if the person drinks 1 litre a day
Posted by: Nancy | Dec 22, 2010 04:41 PM
I've been on that carbs addicts diet where you have two low or non carbs meals, then one rewards meal where you eat whatever you want in an hour and only once a day cause it won't spike your blood sugar levels. I'm diabetic, so I tried chocolate and tested my blood and was 119. Tried pizza and shot up to 240. You have to be careful, but for me I'm finding that chocolate is less dangerous than Pizza or processed foods. JFYI!
Posted by: Ron | Oct 21, 2011 12:29 PM
I experienced the suppression of my appetite on yesterday evening after eating about seven Hershey's dark chocolate kisses, with almonds. I was hungry, so therefore I didn't have dinner. I was O'mazed! I am a recently diagnosed diabetic, and I haven't experienced a problem. It works!!
Posted by: Ertha J. | Apr 13, 2012 10:30 AM
The problem is the amount of chocolate you eat. Someone mentioned a standard figure of one ounce. Once people find out a tasty thing is "OK," they tend to go overboard. This reminds me of the guy who was told "wine was good for his heart," so he drank an extra cup and was busted for drunk driving.

Hi I am tee I just found out that I have type2 diabetes and I am really scared .
Posted by: terry | Sep 18, 2012 01:53 AM
Hi terry, It's certainly understandable that you're feeling scared about having diabetes. One of the best ways to overcome your fear is to learn as much as you can about how to best manage it. This Web site will definitely help you. But also talk with your doctor and ask him to refer you to a diabetes education program or a diabetes educator. You can also check with your local hospital to find a program in your area, or visit the American Diabetes Association's Web site at http://www.diabetes.org/in-my-community/local-offices/?loc=rednav to find a branch in your state. You'll feel less fearful and more comfortable about having diabetes if you learn how to manage it. And you'll likely meet other people who have diabetes, as well. Good luck!

To get Washington fans ready for the coming baseball season, all spring (err…and Winter) I will be interviewing a blogger from each team in the league. To continue our journey I talked with Randy from Over The Monster, one of the top Red Sox on the net. The Red Sox are always re-arming for next season, and are perpetually one of the most interesting teams in the league. Let's see what Randy had to say.
The Nats Blog: Clay Bucholz has been considered the arm of the future for the past several years now, will this be the season he finally puts it together?
Over The Monster: I think we saw Buchholz put it together at the end of last year. He seemed to finally become the pitcher the Red Sox have been waiting for in the last stretch of the season. Obviously he's going to improve with time, but it seems to me he made that "Jon Lester turn." I don't think we need to worry about if he's got the makeup or the stuff or anything like that — now it's just a matter of how good he'll actually be.
TNB: With the slow decline of David Ortiz, and the loss of Jason Bay, will the Red Sox have enough offense to top the Rays and Yankees in 2010?
OTM: The Red Sox's offense won't be as good as it has been the last few years, but the good thing is that they don't need it to be. With the improved defense and starting pitching, the Red Sox offense will need to do less work to gut out victories. There shouldn't be too many 11-10 games in Boston this year. They should be more like 2-1, 3-2. With the defense improving so greatly and the rotation adding an ace in John Lackey, the offense doesn't need to be as strong as in the past few years. With that said, General Manager Theo Epstein has said if the team needed a bat at the deadline, he'd go out and grab it.
TNB: What will the Red Sox do with Mike Lowell after a voided trade and a thumb injury? Where will he fit in? If at all.
OTM: The man to watch come Spring Training is Mike Lowell. If he comes out healthy, swings the bat well and at least shows some mobility at first base or third base, Lowell could definitely be traded before the start of the season. I'd be surprised if Lowell is with the Red Sox on Opening Day; the bridge has been burned. If he is on the team, he'll work as a backup at third base (rarely), see some time at first (rarely) and perhaps platoon with David Ortiz at designated hitter (the most likely scenario).
TNB: What additions do you wish the Red Sox would have made this offseason?
OTM: I would have liked a bigger bullpen arm. The Red Sox lost Takashi Saito and Billy Wagner and really weren't able to fill that void — at least from as far as we can tell. Wagner had a short time with the Sox, but was really good. Saito put together an impressive (and a tad deceiving) 2009, but now the Sox will have to turn elsewhere for their roles. The good thing is Daniel Bard will be a better bullpen pitcher this season, filling some of that void.
TNB: 2004 was a special time for my family, much of which is from Massachusetts. In your opinion, how has the culture of baseball in New England changed since the sox "broke the curse?"
OTM: The culture has changed because the Red Sox are no longer the "underdogs" in the eyes of the world. They are no longer the lovable losers. Not only are the winners, but they're spending money, too — which doesn't help their cause to be in the real Nation's good graces because they are compared to the Yankees. Before 2004, the Red Sox were the "anti-Yankees." Now they are "like the Yankees."
TNB: What is your all time favorite Red Sox memory?
OTM: It's cliche, but how can I not choose the Red Sox winning the Series in 2004? It was just an amazing moment as it all came together. Of course, the 2004 ALCS was a better series than the World Series, and perhaps the greatest sports series of all time, but I just lump them both together. As far as my favorite personal memory, I saw Pedro pitch on his birthday in 2000 against the White Sox. He struck out 15 in a complete game and the Red Sox won 1-0. It was one of the greatest pitchers of all-time pitching in one of the greatest seasons of all-time. I can't wait to tell that story to my kids.

If you thought the Olympic feats of Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Nastia Liukin were impressive, prepare to be overwhelmed by the competitors of the 2008 Paralympic Games. The quadrennial multi-sport festival for disabled athletes — held in Beijing's Olympic venues from Sept. 6-17 — is the subject of a stirring NBC documentary on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2:30 pm/ET."Ability is in the eye of the beholder," Bob Costas says in his opening narration. Indeed, the emotional film includes many thrill-of-victory and agony-of-defeat moments that transcend the physical limitations of the athletes. "What happens is you begin to forget that there's any disability there," says David Michaels, NBC's coordinating producer for the Paralympics. "Then you get to see them as pure athletes, which is pretty neat."Among those profiled are Marlon Shirley and April Holmes, both of whom lost legs in tragic accidents and became Paralympic icons as the world's fastest amputee man and woman. Shirley won his classification of the 100-meter dash at the 2000 and 2004 Paralympics, but came to Beijing having "gone through all kinds of other crazy health issues," Michaels says. "He picked up a staph infection, there was even some talk of a further amputation, above the knee, of his leg. He wasn't in the greatest shape, but he was there to defend his title."Standing in his way was media sensation Oscar Pistorius. The double-amputee South African phenom finished second to Shirley four years ago, but has since established himself as "the fastest man on no legs" and nearly qualified for the Olympics. We won't spoil how the race unfolded, but Michaels says "I've been doing Olympics and these kinds of stories for 25 years and this was one of the most amazing bits of video that I've ever seen."The documentary also addresses the growing number of military personnel joining the Paralympic ranks. One such athlete, former Marine Scott Winkler, was paralyzed from the chest down in Iraq in 2003. The wheelchair-bound Pittsburgh native took up the shot put as a way to redefine himself. "I can't stand tall, but I will sit proud," he says while reflecting on his fifth-place finish in Beijing. It's a poignant moment, one of many inspiring stories in the 90-minute film.Universal Sports, NBC's Olympic-themed cable channel, showcases seven straight nights of Paralympic event coverage beginning Monday, Nov. 10 at 7 pm/ET. There will be four hours of coverage each evening, including the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies, which were as majestic as the Olympic celebrations.

Woman uses video to catch roommate having sex with her dog, report says
A man faces multiple charges after allegedly being caught on video having sex with his roommate's German Shepherd mix, according to a report.
Joshua Lee Werbicki, 22, was arrested Friday at the Papa John's restaurant where he works in Palm Bay, Florida Today reported.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: Boy Catches Grandpa Naked On Bed With Dog
Palm Bay police said the dog's owner told them the pet has shown signs of injury, as well as fear when being approached by people.
The sex acts were recorded by the dog's owner who, after becoming suspicious about her roommate, set up the video sting, Gawker reported.
Brevard County Animal Services has joined the investigation with Palm Bay police, and a spokesman told Florida Today that it's possible Werbicki could be banned from owning or living with animals in Brevard County.
Werbicki is charged with cruelty to animals, a felony, and sex with animals, a misdemeanor.

Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank has increased its bid from $20.1 billion for a 70 percent stake in for Sprint Nextel—the US's third-largest cellular carrier —to $21.6 billion for a 78 percent share. SoftBank has also, as part of the bid, increased its cash offering to shareholders by 5 percent to $7.65 per share. US satellite-TV service provider Dish Network has bid $25.5 billion for Sprint Nextel, worth roughly $7 per share for all the entire company. Dish now has until 18 June to submit a new "best and final" bid. However, Sprint executives have said they do not expect one and have ended talks with Dish. Shareholders are expected to vote on the purchase offers at a 25 June meeting. If approved, this would reportedly be the largest overseas deal by a Japanese firm. (BBC)(The New York Times)
Dish Network raised its offer for Clearwire in a battle to acquire the wireless carrier against Sprint Nextel. Dish Network is offering $4.40/share; Sprint has offered $3.40/share. The new offer also prompted a delay in a shareholder vote on the offer from Sprint Nextel that was to have transpired Friday. Sprint owns 50 percent of Clearwire and is offering to purchase those shares it does not own. At the same time, Sprint is being courted by SoftBank, a Japanese firm that has clearance from the US feds to proceed with the deal. SoftBank is in a bidding war for the firm with Dish Network. (USA Today)(Reuters -- 1) (Reuters -- 2)
Although facing stiff competition in its quest to buy Sprint Nextel's wireless business, leading suitor SoftBank is not changing its $20.1 billion bid for 70 percent of the company. Satellite-communications company Dish Network recently made a $25.5 billion counteroffer, giving Sprint shareholders $7 per share and 32 percent equity in the combined DISH/Sprint. Executives with SoftBank, a Japanese telecommunications firm, say they expect to complete the Sprint purchase, which regulators are reviewing now, by 1 July. Intel is backing SoftBank in the deal, saying in a recent letter to the US Federal Communications Commission that the merger would bring more competition to the US wireless market. A special meeting for Sprint shareholders to vote on the issue is tentatively scheduled for 12 June. (Reuters)(IT World)
Satellite TV provider Dish Network has submitted an informal $25.5 billion bid for Sprint Nextel, upping a previous offer from Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank. Dish has offered Sprint shareholders $4.76 in cash and roughly $2.24 in stock that would be financed through $17.3 billion in cash and debt financing. SoftBank offered $20.1 billion in October 2012. Sprint—the third-biggest US cellular provider with 56 million subscribers—has yet to comment on the Dish proposal. Sprint is currently the No. 3 cellphone service provider in the United States with 56 million subscribers nationwide. (ZDNet)(CNNMoney)(The New York Times)(Dish)

United States of America v. RES Holdings
Filing 11
ORDER & REASONS granting Plaintiff's 10 Motion to Take More Than Ten Depositions. Signed by Judge Eldon E. Fallon on 9/21/12. (dno, )
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VERSUS RES HOLDINGS * * * * * CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-739 SECTION "L" (5) ORDER & REASONS Before the Court is a Motion to Take More Than Ten Depositions (Rec. Doc. No. 10), filed by Plaintiff. The Court, having reviewed the submitted memoranda and the applicable law, is ready to rule. I. BACKGROUND This case arises from a series of business transactions allegedly designed to avoid federal tax obligations. On June 9, 2011, the Court entered a default judgment against Defendant RES Holdings regarding unpaid federal income tax liabilities that, together with penalties and interest, total over $24 million. (Rec. Doc. No. 9). According to the Government, the relevant transactions took place in 1998, when a number of corporate entities entered into a complex series of transactions whereby (1) the stock of a New Orleans corporation was sold to one entity, (2) its assets were sold to a Pittsburgh organization, (3) a Connecticut-based group of deal promoters was paid large fees, (4) a very substantial amount of income was generated, (5) that income was purportedly offset for tax purposes by a tax "shelter" having no validity, and (6) the entity owing the resulting tax debt, Defendant RES Holdings, was stripped of all assets with which it could have paid its taxes. The Government has commenced post-judgment discovery under Rule 69 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, issuing a number of document subpoenas and taking several depositions, all in an effort to understand the roles of the multiple corporate entities and individuals involved in the relevant transactions. II. PRESENT MOTION Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Take More Than Ten Depositions. According to the Government, the persons deposed to date are: the lead negotiator for the company that ultimately acquired the assets; a consultant/advisor to the selling corporation; three accountants, who had been advisors to one or another of the corporate participants; the principal of the selling corporation; the selling corporation's counsel and lead negotiator; and one person who had been a high official of both the selling and the acquiring corporations. These depositions, although not fruitless, have not allowed the Government to develop a complete understanding of the relevant conduct. The Government plans for further depositions, in the event the present Motion should be granted, include three depositions pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) and several more depositions of individuals associated with the promoter group. The Government suggests that the ten-deposition limit established by Rule 30(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure may not apply in the context of post-judgment discovery. Even if it applies, the Government argues that the concerns underlying the ten-deposition limit, namely the potential for undue burdens on the opposing party and the potential for cumulative and unnecessary depositions, do not apply here. The Government states that, given the complexity of the relevant transactions, additional depositions are necessary to complete an investigation and will not be cumulative. The Government further argues that there is no single opposing party who will have to bear the costs associated with appearing through counsel at multiple depositions. Accordingly, the Government urges the Court to allow it to take a total of twenty depositions. III. LAW AND ANALYSIS Under federal law, district courts have discretion to alter discovery limits in most circumstances. The default limit at issue in this case comes from Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for the United States District Courts, which provides, in relevant part: "A party must obtain leave of court, and the court must grant leave to the extent consistent with Rule 26(b)(2) . . . if the parties have not stipulated to the deposition and . . . the deposition would result in more than 10 depositions being taken [by any party]." Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(a)(2). Rule 26 allows for the exercise of discretion, providing that the Court "may alter the limits in these rules on the number of depositions" by order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2)(a). That discretion is limited elsewhere in Rule 26(b)(2); subsection (C) requires the Court to limit discovery when it determines either that: "(i) the discovery sought is unreasonably cumulative or duplicative, or can be obtained from some other source that is more convenient, less burdensome, or less expensive; (ii) the party seeking discovery has had ample opportunity to obtain the information by discovery in the action; or (iii) the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit, considering the needs of the case, the amount in controversy, the parties' resources, the importance of the issues at stake in the action, and the importance of the discovery in resolving the issues." Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2)(C). The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has held that these discovery rules are applicable in the post judgment context through Rule 69, which provides for execution of judgments and post-judgment discovery. United States v. McWhirter, 376 F.2d 102, 106 (5th Cir. 1967). As a first step, the Court must inquire whether its discretion is limited by the presence of any of the three situations listed in Rule 26(b)(2)(C). Here, the Court finds that the additional depositions the Government seeks will not be unreasonably cumulative or duplicative because of the complex nature of the transactions under investigation, nor can the nature of the transactions be ascertained by less burdensome means. The Court further finds that the Government has not had an "ample opportunity to obtain the information" otherwise, and that the burden and expense of the additional depositions are unlikely to outweigh their benefits given the circumstances of this case. Accordingly, Rule 26(b)(2)(C) does not apply and the decision to alter the tendeposition limit is within the Court's discretion. The Court further holds that the complex facts involved in this case warrant an extension of the typical ten-deposition limit. As the Fifth Circuit noted in McWhirter and on many occasions since, district courts are to construe the discovery rules liberally so as to effectuate their purpose of enabling parties to obtain pertinent information. 376 F.2d at 106. Accordingly, the Court grants Plaintiff's Motion. IV. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Take More Than Ten Depositions (Rec. Doc. No. 10) is hereby GRANTED. New Orleans, Louisiana, this 21st day of September, 2012. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Love is the Central Flame of the Universe
"Love is the Central Flame of the Universe"
Julia Washington, RScP
Julia Washington, RScP
Love is the central flame of the universe, nay, the very fire itself. I is written that God is Love, and that we are His expressed likeness, the image of the Eternal Being. Love is selfgivingness through creation, the impartation of the Divine through the human.
Love is an essence, an atmosphere, which defies analysis, as does Life Itself. It is that which IS and cannot be explained: it is common to all people, to all animal life, and evident in the response of plants to those who love them. Love reigns supreme over all.
The essence of love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the Spirit. Only love knows love, and love knows only love. Words cannot express its depths or meaning. A universal sense alone bears witness to the divine fact: God is Love and Love is God.
Ernest Holmes
"Science of Mind" page 478
The loving presence of God is with me and each and everyone of us.
We are all enfolded in the loving arms of God, There is nothing for us to fear.
We are inspired and guided by Spirit.
We are calm, peaceful, happy, for God is within us. and all is well.
And So It Is

Apache Junction leaders on Friday expressed confidence in police commander Jay Swart, saying the civilian administrator's status will not change due to reports of alleged misconduct while he was working for Capitol Police.
Police Chief Glenn Walp said the issues that surrounded Swart while he was with Capitol Police stemmed from a rocky relationship with his supervisor.
Walp said he concluded that Andrew Staubitz, who was Swart's supervisor at Capitol Police, should have handled the allegations against Swart through "command leadership principles." "If you don't communicate, the entire chain of command suffers," Walp said of Swart's situation at the Capitol.
A 2003 internal investigation of Swart while he served with Capitol Police raised questions about Swart's honesty, his willingness to follow orders, and whether, at times, he failed to follow proper procedure.
But a memo released by Apache Junction officials stated that Swart "was not disciplined for any alleged code of conduct violations (while with Capitol Police) because no code of conduct violations were committed."
Walp and City Attorney Joel Stern reviewed nearly 1,000 pages of documents relating to Capitol Police's internal investigations of Swart, who had spent 19 years with the department.
Walp said he is confident in Swart's ability to perform his duties in Apache Junction.
"I have an excellent relationship with commander Swart," Walp said, "and I have full confidence in him."

Stuttgart. An elegant glove, a poodle, a hunting rifle: From 4 September to
4 November 2012, the Porsche Museum is exhibiting the works of the versatile Stuttgart painter and commercial graphic designer Hanns Lohrer (1912 – 1995) – and these works extend far beyond the topic of motor cars. During the 1950s and 60s, Lohrer played a pivotal role in the visual appearance of the Porsche brand which was founded in 1948. In this special exhibition the Porsche Museum pays testimony to the timeless quality of Lohrer's works, which made a lasting contribution to creating the positive image of the then fledgling sports car manufacturer.
A selection of victory posters created by Hanns Lohrer at the close of every year to visually capture Porsche's sporting successes is one area of focus at the exhibition. A high point within Porsche advertising is, among other things, the series of posters designed by Hanns Lohrer in 1961 depicting the Porsche 356 in the context of sports such as golfing, hunting or horse riding. Typical of Porsche's prestigious advertising during that era, the bold colours of the sports equipment dominated the sports car which was shown in small scale.
In addition to the 40 posters, the Porsche Museum exhibition also includes sales brochure artwork by Hanns Lohrer. Visitors can thus view the red cover page of the 1958 356A catalogue showing a woman's hand wearing an elegant glove and handling the gear shift of a Porsche with seeming effortlessness. And of course the poodle motif is a must, with the poster showing a refined young lady with a poodle on its lead at the lower right, giving the headline "Powerful elegance guided with ease" a second visual meaning. The poodle is a recurring element in Hanns Lohrer's work, and is even made the central motif of a 1960 Porsche poster entitled "I too, prefer Porsche". These exhibition pieces will be supplemented by around 30 original sketches and pictures testifying to the full range of Hanns Lohrer's works.
Stuttgart artist Hanns Lohrer has always thrilled those who experience his work and continues to be an inspiration to advertising professionals. The works Hanns Lohrer created for Porsche superbly combined the brand message with the graphic designer's artistic style. The Porsche Museum shop is also extending its range on the occasion of the special exhibition and offering postcards, canvas stretchers, ring-binder labels and refrigerator magnets featuring graphic motifs by Lohrer.
The Porsche Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. Admission is € 8.00 for adults, reduced admission is € 4.00. Free admission for children up to 14 years accompanied by an adult. More information is available at www.porsche.com/museum.

Q. Dr. Dean C. Allard, Naval Historical Center. Dr. Hone, you described FDR's decentralized political vision. Is that basically the Navy's vision of management as well?
A. Dr. Thomas C. Hone. Defense Systems College. I have to say no, because the services did not think politically in that way and they really weren't allowed to and they still aren't allowed to. So I would have to say no.
Q. Allard. Isn't it popular to characterize the Army's style of management as centralized and the Navy's as a decentralized style?
A. Hone. No, I don't think so. I don't think there is any relationship there at all. There is some relationship between Roosevelt and Forrestal because it was Forestalls aid, Eberstadt, who came up with the Controlled Materials Plan, but that was a different kind of relationship. No, I don't think there is any kind of relationship between Roosevelt's approach to it at the highest level and the Navy's decentralized style. I think they are very different things. The Navy had a very different concept than Roosevelt's and the Navy did not like him. It was the President who forced the Navy to convert the light cruisers to light carriers, and it was the President who forced the Navy to build a lot of escort carriers. And the Navy did not want to do either, because they did not want to be stuck with pieces of junk after the war. I understand their perspective but, I also understand his. So I think there was a lot of tension there.
Q. Dr. Jeffrey Clark. Army Center of Military History. All of you addressed one way or another the great masses of material that we produced during World War II. I'm sure you are well aware that in almost every theater though there was a shortage of amphibious shipping, especially LSTs. Often the number and timing of operations seemed to be determined by the number of LSTs, landing ships, tank, and other large landing ships available. Do you know if there was any reason for this, whether for planning or construction? Were there some peculiarities of construction, of authorization of construction of LSTs that would have precluded the United States using its mass production capability to end the problem, at least by late 1944-1945, which apparently it did not?
A. Dr. Gary E. Weir, Naval Historical Center. I'm not as familiar with the LST program as I an with some others, so I can't answer your question exactly.
A. Hone. I'll fall back on the Maritime Commission history by Frederic Lane, I guess it was. I didn't find it until this year. its a fascinating study. Given what he says, I think the answer is that no one could figure out just what the priorities should be until it was too late. They were building Liberty ships, Victory ships, destroyer escorts, and submarines and it was a real problem deciding how many LSTs you needed. By the time they realized it, it was too late to crank up the numbers.
Q. Dr. Michael A. Palmer, Naval Historical Center. I can't give a source, but there was a connection between the industries that produced destroyer escorts, other convoy escorts, and the LSTs and unplanned losses in the North Atlantic in 1942 and 1943 that led to higher production of the escorts. And this led to a corresponding reduction in turning out amphibious ships. That factor messed up their plans.
A. Weir. Also, shifting from one type of vessel to another to yet another while doing conversions was probably the most complex thing you could possibly do. So, in setting your priorities, the LSTs lose as the destroyer escorts go up; what happens when the priorities are reversed? It's difficult to make that transition down at the yards where it needs to be made. It is not difficult to provide the designs, blueprints, and all~ the rest. The capability is there. The stuff is on the drawing boards. They know what they are doing. They have the yards to build them. But, it's shifting that industrial establishment around to a different emphasis that is far more difficult.
Q. Unknown Questioner. On that point right there; does anyone have an idea, regarding the shipbuilding industry in particular, of the difference in the number of ships; in other words, how much capacity was increased during the war? In other words, not just converted from civilian shipbuilding capacity to military but all that was converted.
A. Weir. I can't give you numbers. I can give you some idea of the scope of it though. A great many of the private shipyards tried to mobilize or remobilize navy yards or upgrade a variety of different types of vessels rather than just the one or two they did in the past. There were significant programs, like the one I mentioned at Mare Island, to use private contractors way inland to provide parts of ships; in sections. It was done; it was very imaginative, really. So the scope of it only begins at the shipyards.
Q. Unknown Questioner. I was curious about the skilled labor pool that existed prior to the war. Did the labor pool actually grow significantly?
A. Weir. The labor pool grew but one of the curious things that I found was that Portsmouth-was the champion for example in producing submarines the fastest. The average was a little over nine months per vessel; once they got up to speed, around late 1941 early 1942, they did very well in that. But Electric Boat always produced then cheaper; always. Now Portsmouth labor figures; you're talking about approximately 20,000 people plus Mare Island at its height almost had an equal number as well. EB never exceeded 12,000. Why then, why the discrepancy? Its over approximately a half century of skill in building submarines and focusing just on that to the exclusion of everything else. Electric Boat is a very, very highly skilled organization, not to say Portsmouth was not. But Portsmouth was asked to do a variety of things as well as submarines. You have got more people working at Mare Island and at Portsmouth than you have at EB, but you have cheaper submarines coming out of Electric Boat even though its taking them a little longer.
A. Hone. I'd say, looking at the Maritime Commission figures that I've seen, and going on my memory; when I get back to the office I will check that. I would say that the shipbuilding capacity was tripled. But, to say that is like saying there is no difference between building an aircraft carrier or a battleship versus building a submarine versus building a Liberty ship versus an LST. I would have to say probably the work force was tripled; somewhere in there anyway; not an order of magnitude increase, but a major increase, whereas in some other industries like aircraft production we are talking about order of magnitude increases both in production capacity and labor force. Not so much in tanks, because they went over from automobiles to trucks to tanks. I mean it varies from industry to industry and it also relates to the strategy of the services before the war. If you read the memoirs of Rear Admiral Bowen, head of the Bureau of Ships in the 1930s, he was trying to get the shipyards to shift from making their own machinery and doing everything in the yard to mass production. They would simply take from their suppliers pieces and then assemble vessels using some mass production techniques like the one Henry Kaiser used to build the escort carriers on the West Coast. So we get all these differences from industry to industry and item to item. off the top of my head, I think it's about three times.
Q. Major Charles E. Kirkpatrick, Army Center of Military History. In terms of the magnitude of the effort, before the war started the Army planned that there would have to be sufficient ship construction to move units overseas and that something on the order of a thousand vessels was called for. And, that was not going to happen before about the Ist of July of 1943. The mobilization, training, and preparation of the vessels to move the force all pretty much coincided at the same time. The United States, for many other reasons, would not be able to undertake early offensive operations.
Q. Dr. Terrence Gough, Army Center of Military History. I would like to make a comment on something Tom Hone said. Tom, I believe you said that the 1920 National Defense Act amendments represented a consensus that the next war would have to be fought on the basis of industrial mobilization, as opposed to manpower mobilization; that is, if you're going to field an army, its got to be equipped. Everybody realized that. Well, I argue that that wasn't really so, particularly within the Army. In the 1920s, the combat arms officers on the General Staff were planning for manpower mobilization; that is the general mobilization plan was written as if the rate of manpower mobilization was the driving force. And those officers from the technical services and in the office of the Assistant Secretary of War who were planning for procurement and industrial mobilization had quite a battle to convince the combat arms officers that their position was correct. I believe actually that the manpower planners were never thoroughly convinced, even up to 1940. And, in regard to another point you made about organizational cultures, I think this is what was at work here. These differences between the two groups of planning officers goes back to the line and staff disagreements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. And I think that this is a factor that we have not taken into sufficient consideration in evaluating this whole question; planning for war. Charlie Kirkpatrick, I believe, also said that the Victory Plan showed that the military realized that the military could not win the war by itself; it had to depend on the economy. Yes, but there were many arguments during the war between the civilian and military sectors over feasibility and that sort of thing. And I think that this idea of feasibility could be studied in greater detail through World War II with profit.
A. Kirkpatrick. We won't argue with you at all. I would only say that with regard to the amendment to the National Defense Act of 1920, manpower planners in the Army were not the, ones I was thinking of so much. You're right. One thing, the political and industrial leaders often regarded those kinds of folks in the Army in the sense that they felt they didn't know what they were talking about. You see a lot of this in the mobilization issue. Industry would come in and say we'll do this. And the military people would say you probably can't. And industry would go off and do it anyway, saying "you guys just don't have the experience. You don't know how the industry works."
Q. Jon Sumida. University of Maryland. Tom, I really appreciate your remarks about Alan Milward because he is not as widely read as he should be and his is certainly a valuable book. I want to announce that he will be with us at the University of Maryland beginning in August. We are hoping to look a lot more into this question of industrial mobilization in wartime. A second observation I think is ordnance and naval procurement between the wars which is actually a study of the entire planning basis for the Air Force, Army, and the Navy for the Second World War. If you want an example of planning that actually worked, the British started about 1923 to plan to fight a war with industrial mobilization and they invested an enormous amount of time and effort into making an inventory of the entire British economy and then dividing up that economy well in advance of the Second World War between the air force, the army, and the navy. This is one of the reasons why when the Second World War breaks out, the British go into war production with very little conferring between the services. It's an interesting contrast between the British and the Americans. I might add that one of the great advantages the Americans have is that we don't go to war until 1941; that certainly must have had an impact on the way we mobilized for the Second World War.
Q. Allard. Let me just add that John Sumida's work in this area, his own work, is well known.
Q. Sumida. I've been working the past year on British naval and industrial mobilization in the First World War. I'm looking really at the conflicts between the army, that is the Ministry of Munitions, the Admiralty, and also the merchant marine. one of my major arguments is that the submarine crisis is really a function that the navy is consuming 90 percent of British shipbuilding from 1914 to 1917. Nearly as many merchant ships are not built because of navy consumption than all the ships sunk by the Germans in 1917. And so it is fairly clear that there were two problems with the submarine crisis. one is suffering the sinking of ships. The other is that British merchant shipbuilding collapsed. I will try to present this argument and also the whole question of how the army and the navy tried to appropriate resources within the system; how that affected the civilian economy.
Q. Allard. Jon Sumida will be speaking on this topic on July 8 at the Naval Historians' Seminar here at the Naval History Center and all of you, of course, are invited.
Q. Dr. Edward J. Marolda. Naval Historical Center. I have a question for Charlie Kirkpatrick. I think that it became obvious when listening to Gary Weir's presentation that Portsmouth had quiet an influence on the development of the submarine industry. The fact that the Navy kept Portsmouth in being during the 1920S and 1930s was really crucial to later bringing industry into that. Was there something comparable in the Army, like its arsenals, that were kept alive by the Army during the lean years of the 1930s?
A. Kirkpatrick. I don't really know enough to answer that well; I think Terry Gough might do a better job of it, but I would comment that certainly during MacArthur's tenure the Army slice of the budget was so small that MacArthur opted for keeping trained people as opposed to buying equipment, except prototypes. I don't think the prototype plan that he had worked out very well at all, either.
Q. Gough. I missed the first part of Ed's question.
Q. Marolda. I said that the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was a boon to the submarine industry in that it developed designs during the 1930s. Basically, the Navy had a road map so they could get industry involved, civilian industry, in submarine construction in the late 1930s. Was there something comparable on the Army side?
A. Gough. Yes. Yes, there was. In fact, in the early stages of production for World War II, the manufacturers who were just beginning to learn how to do it had to depend on the Army installations. They had been doing it with the old shop methods for many years. But, after a period of let's say one to two years of production, the new producers who had gotten into it were soon showing the old Army installations new tricks. Which is, I think, quite interesting. That is, there is that element of entrepreneurial ingenuity that the private sector showed.
Q. Marolda. I think Gary Weir also suggested that after a while Electric Boat did the same thing.
A. Weir. It was also interesting that during the interwar period, it was a real period of debate for the submarine community in terms of strategy, what types of submarines we want, what are we going to do with them. On the other side of that, the Bureau of Construction and Repair and the Bureau of Engineering showed a remarkable presence of mind in placing the small amounts of money they had?in the proper place in-order to insure that they have this industrial foundation for whatever use is coming for it down the road. For example in 1924, that early, the Navy allowed the Lake Torpedo Boat Company, our number two submarine producer during World War I, to go bankrupt., They deny them the contracts and the money goes into bringing Portsmouth up to speed as a first-class design installation and submarine producer. So there is a conscious decision made here to rely on Electric Boat and Portsmouth. To give Electric Boat the competition that Portsmouth can provide, but also to give the Navy the strength in design and engineering expertise. And this is made very early. And there are incredible strategic debates going on, while the technical side of it is fairly well placed on a solid foundation.
Q. Naval Officer. I'm working on a competitive strategy for industrial reconstitution and mobilization. That's why I'm here. At the moment, if you look at policies that are going on, you hear talk that the industrial base should sink or swim based on market forces. This basically says that these investments, like you are talking about, aren't going to occur unless somebody makes a change. Now, that brings me to my question. What was the level of investment in terms of percentage of the budget? Any estimates of how much the services really spent in the 1920s and 1930s maintaining the capability to come back, particularly in Navy submarines?
A. Weir. A perfect example; Lake goes bankrupt in 1924. So what do you have left? Portsmouth coming up to speed and you have Electric Boat. From approximately 1925, when Electric Boat finished fixing submarines that were built during the Great War, through 1931, it received no new submarine contracts from the Navy; none; not until the Cuttlefish contract in 1931. All of the interwar submarines, save for one, went to Portsmouth, with the exception going to Mare Island. So it is obvious where the Navy was putting its assets and what it wanted to do. Lake resisted these decisions. He had a great many contacts in Congress; he wrote open letters in the newspapers complaining about the fact that it was a skilled work force that was going to be let go. He lobbied in Congress to put pressure on the Navy; he did not go down without a howl. But, the Navy was determined. The Bureau of Ships and its predecessors, the bureaus of Construction and Repair and Engineering, were determined that's where the money was going to go. Even though they did not know exactly what they wanted to produce yet. They knew that they needed a firm base and they made their investment in that.
Q. Hone. That's the point. Navy policy in the 1930s was to: maintain the mobilization base for shipbuilding and that was done deliberately, even when they had to skirt the law. It was consciously and deliberately done and the decisions were taken not at the highest levels, so much as the White House, but at the lower levels in the Navy Department itself. I would argue that that investment was immensely important for war mobilization.
Q. Naval officer. Right now, the Joint Staff thinks in terms of twelve-month, thirty-six-month, and forty-four-month warning times; in other words, those periods of time before we would actually take any action for mobilization. Is there any historical evidence that we can mobilize in three years to a war footing. Was there anything prior to World War II that took less than three years to from the time we said go, to production?
A. Hone. Gary just had the answer.
A. Weir. Again, in many of the specialized vessels, and submarines should be classified as one of those, the Navy in the early days would simply take them off the shelf. So whatever there was they bought. They didn't participate in designing submarines until 1916. So it's a much simpler world, the technology was much more basic then. The transfer of technology from civilian consumables to military hardware is less marked, is less drastic and mobilization is a lot easier to run.
A. Hone. The analog today would be a lot of civilian software. Its very sophisticated. One example of the thing Gary is talking about was the decision in the 1970s, and correct me if I'm wrong, to build the Tomahawk cruise missile4 The Tomahawk was a long-range weapon and you had a targeting problem. It had an active seeker. The problem you had in the 1970s was it took almost a mainframe computer to retarget those doggone things. So, if you were at sea carrying Tomahawks in-your submarine, you had to surface to get retargeting data and to load it onto the Tomahawks and that took time. They were not a quick-reaction weapon. But, they were a quick-reaction weapon in the Middle East because the hardware changed. Mainframes to personal computers. The technology in communications changed; the processing of intelligence data changed. And so, the doggone things worked. And, I'm trying to find out who made that decision in the Navy Department in the 1970s. Because, whoever did, it was a gamble and it was the right gamble. Let me give you another illustration. Go to Aberdeen Proving Ground. I love that place. They have armored vehicles and an artillery museum there. I went up there once because my kid wanted to see it and I was fascinated. If you look at the -- Army folks correct me if I'm wrong -- at the 105-millimeter howitzer, the 155-millimeter gun, towed, and the 8-inch howitzer; the wheels on those things are all the same size. The tires are all the same size; they looked to me that they are all the same size. Somebody, some minor procurement genius sold that to the Army in the 1930s. And it was a marvelous idea; one size wheel, one size tire makes it very easy for the supply and logistics folks. Whoever did that had his head screwed on straight. Some day I would like to find out who that individual was because I would put his or her picture up at Fort Belvoir and say this is what wins wars, because it does. And it's little investments like that that pay off in multiples once you got into mobilization.
Q. Marolda. Charlie, I have a question. Can you describe the interaction between those in the Army who were aviators and non-aviators over aircraft procurement. Did the aviators have a lot of influence or not in the period between 1940 and 1941?
A. Kirkpatrick. I haven't done any work in that period. I can tell you that in planning they relied on the air staff to tell them what was needed and they accepted that without question. Major Wedemeyer was working with gross estimates anyway in manpower and roughly twelve million people you figured you could draw upon without damaging industrial capacity. And out of all that he said, 110K, we have this pie to cut up. Navy, what do you need" and he asked Army Air Corps the same question. He simply accepted what they told him without challenging it and went on with the plan.
Q. Marolda. The figures supplied, were they inflated?
A. Kirkpatrick. I believe that I have read that in fact they were underestimating. They didn't actually represent what was needed. I'm not sure about Army Air Force. The Army's own figures were in terms of "tooth to tail." They estimated a division slice of two to one. The total was 20,000 for combat and another 10,000 for support. But it worked out to one for combat and three or four for support and you get some estimates as high as one to six or seven. He did not recognize that even in an infantry battalion, which is considered to be composed of 100 percent combat troops, only About eighty-three percent of the soldiers were real bullet-launchers and fighters and the rest were specialists.

WASHINGTON - Decorating cookies, building gingerbread houses and making peppermint bark are all holiday party traditions my family and kids enjoy. But sometimes the multitude of holiday parties and events can cause a household sugar overload.
To keep everyone's levels more in check, I went looking for some healthy, but festive, snack ideas to add to December's party mix and munch.
These ideas are both easy and fun. The strawberry Santas and veggie Christmas trees require very few ingredients. And little ones can help with the assembly.
Here's what you will need to prepare these treats:
Strawberry Santas:
- Strawberries
- Whipping cream, cream cheese or some white food filler -- if you're feeling super healthy, try tofu
- Chocolate sauce, sesame or other seeds
These Santa hats are filled with cream and decorated with chocolate for a sweet treat. (WTOP/Katie Howard)
Slice the top of the crown off the strawberry and a smaller slice off the bottom (enough to make for a Santa top). Turn the strawberry upside down and place the flat base on your serving plate. Fill the top with edible white filler. Place the smaller, pointier tip of the strawberry on top of the filler.
Use the chocolate sauce or seeds to make Santa a little face in the white filler (a tip of a toothpick or fine point dipped into the sauce works). Top off Santa's cap with a white pom pom from the filler used for the face.
The inspiration for this fun recipe came from justapinch.com.
Veggie Christmas Trees:
- Celery
- Cherry tomatoes
- Carrots
Slice the celery stalk into quarter and half-inch pieces. Then, arrange the celery into a Christmas tree design on your serving plate with the quarter-inch slices toward the top of the tree and the half-inch slices toward the bottom.
Slice the cherry tomatoes and use them as ornaments or decorations on the celery tree. Slice a carrot or other type of garnish into a star to place at the top of your "tree."
The inspiration for this fun recipe came from laughsideasinspiration.com.

Driver and Ivy Caps
This style of cap known by many names (golf cap, driver cap, ivy cap, Jeff cap, and flat cap, just to name a few) got it's unique beginning in England during the 16th Century. In order to stimulant wool consumption and general trade, the British Parliament passed an act in 1571 that required all males over the age of six that were not of nobility to wear a wool flat cap on Sundays and holidays. Although the act was later repealed in 1597, by then the ivy cap was fully entrenched in English culture. By the 19th Century, almost all working class men wore ivy caps throughout Britain and Ireland. The upper-class also wore caps made from finer materials on the countryside. By the 1920's, cloth caps became more fashionable for younger men.
Today men's caps come in many different shapes and materials. Some are modeled after the classic Harris Tweed material and style, while others are made from different shapes known as duckbill or pub caps. For a classic and casual everyday look, be sure to peruse our collection of Ivy caps.

Warnock loving life at Loftus Road
The 61-year-old steered Rangers to successive home wins in his first two games in charge after becoming the Londoners' fifth manager of the season - their 12th in four years - 11 days ago. Warnock saw the Blades go in at the break a goal up on his return to Bramall Lane after Richard Cresswell's fine header flew into the top corner. But impressive Moroccan midfielder Adel Taarabt pounced on some dithering defending by Marcel Seip to slide home a 49th-minute equaliser for the Londoners. Warnock, who departed previous club Crystal Palace after they had slipped into administration, said: "I'd like a couple more leaders, we've not too many if I'm honest, but we've got six loanees so I can't see us getting anybody this season really. "But it will be interesting for next season. I'm looking forward to it, obviously once we've got enough points, or we miss out (on the play-offs). "It's almost like winning the pools for me and I don't mean my salary. I'm on about circumstances and everything that's gone around in the last 12 months. "I feel like I've just had a weight lifted off my shoulders and I can concentrate on what I'm good at now and that's managing a football team rather than everything else that I've had to put up with. "I'm delighted to be here and looking forward to having a right good go. The colours are a bit strange for me though." Warnock hailed his current Rangers squad as the most talented he had worked with, especially Taarabt, and was delighted to see the addition of "a bit of northern spirit" having an immediate effect. He added: "Taarabt is working ever so hard and he's got so much skill. It takes a certain type of manager, I think you would call Taarabt an enigma. "You could, as a manager look at his minuses, but I look at his positives. He's been the best player on the pitch since the first training session. "People said he was a liability, but I've not agreed with that. I've never had ability like this group of players really. "We probably lack a bit of Sheffield steel, but I thought we showed that today." In contrast, problems continue to mount for his former club. Jamie Ward, Ched Evans and Lee Williamson all missed out after picking up injuries in the midweek defeat at Peterborough, Kyle Bartley was struck down by food poisoning on Friday night and now skipper Chris Morgan will miss out through suspension after reaching five bookings. Blades assistant manager Sam Ellis said: "It's two points dropped from our point of view and with Morgan getting booked, he's out for two games now. "And with the injuries we've got, we're in a bit of a nightmare to be honest and that's not moaning, that's a fact. "We're so short of players it looks like we're going to have to see if we're able to get a loan in for Tuesday (against Blackpool), there's no doubt about that." Ellis was left to rue a glaring late miss by substitute Darius Henderson when the Blades striker appeared to freeze at the far post. "We're not happy with a point," he added. "We dominated to a certain extent and created the best chance you could have wished for in the 89th minute and we couldn't stick it away."
