On JFK: An Interview with Isaiah Berlin
A.S.: I think that with people whom he knew very, very well, there was much more of a quick change of tone back and forth than on formal occasions.
You've mentioned a sense you had that Kennedy felt that his time was short. Is this retrospective? Or did you feel that at the time?
I.B.: He didn't say it in so many words, but I think I felt it at the time, yes.
I used to ask him questions about Europe. I did ask him about defense matters—whether he really believed that the British ought to contribute more to conventional weapons in Germany, that kind of thing. Whenever he gave his answers, he kept on saying, "Something is bound to happen. The Russians will not sit still. There'll be great cataclysms—I don't believe that I'm going to have a quiet term of office," and so forth. Rather like a man who certainly didn't anticipate, perhaps almost didn't want, too peaceful and too uneventful a reign. I had the sense of a kind of quiet, slightly suppressed dramatization, which nevertheless went on in his mind, of almost everything. I don't know what you felt.
A.S.: Well, I think he would have been terribly disappointed to have presided over a tranquil time in the life of the world. I think he also had a great sense of the amount of violence under the membrane of civilization.
I.B.: When he talked about foreign policy, my impression was that he thought he was a duelist, with Khrushchev at the other end. There was a tremendous world duel carried on by these two gigantic figures. Enormous rapier thrusts, tremendous technique was going on, and he was always on a qui vive of some sort, and this is what kept him going, and this is what excited him. And he had a worthy opponent. Ever since Vienna, I think, he had a sense of being pitted against Dr. Moriarty at the other end somewhere. He was the man who was going to rescue civilization; and Khrushchev was the man who was going to shoot it down, unless he could teach him a lesson, unless he could show him that these methods didn't work, in which case some kind of uneasy but nevertheless perhaps semipermanent truce could be developed. But he felt that the whole weight of what he conceived of as the ideals of Western culture was resting on his shoulders, and this somehow excited him.
A.S.: There was a considerable change in the British conception of Kennedy, wasn't there, after he died?
I.B.: He was very much admired, and not only admired, but regarded as an exciting figure, a sort of young paladin. He was a hero to the left, not to the right. The right was suspicious and thought he was just a vigorous, probably unscrupulous and rather ruthless young American out for the American interest, who would be much more difficult to work with than previous American presidents, and who would be terribly tough. People suspected him of inheriting some of the ideas of his father, who was thought to have been not very friendly, or at any rate to have sold England rather short in 1940, and there was a general suspicion of him in those circles.
I had a feeling, funnily enough, when he talked about Churchill (this has suddenly come into my mind), whom he praised in the most unreserved fashion, and whom he regarded as the greatest man he ever met—that's what he said, at any rate—that his father's performance really had determined his thoughts in certain respects. That is to say, I have a hypothesis which I wish to utter—but for this I really have no concrete evidence. Obviously he didn't judge his father as the English judged him. He didn't just think that he was rather feeble in the face of Hitler, or class-conscious to a degree which made him more sympathetic to the forces of the right, even in their Fascist forms, than to any forces of progress on the left, which is what people suspected him of in England, of course, certainly in 1940-1941, whether fairly or unfairly.
His father was very unpopular in England; he didn't have much of a career when he came back to the United States, and this was obviously a crack and a crisis in his career which must have affected the rest of the family. His father, I think, must have taken the line with him that it was all right to resist Hitler effectively, but that once Chamberlain had done the things which he had done, and once no real rearmament had occurred and appeasement was in full swing, by 1939 it was too late; that Munich was a correct move, that the guarantee to Poland was absurd, and that, in fact, the Germans would win the war, and there was no reason why the United States should pull English chestnuts out of the fire and be involved in a war themselves. I mean, he simply thought that England misplayed its cards; and this made it impossible for the United States to act as an effective ally, at least from the point of view of its own national interest. Something which is at any rate more palatable than the sort of picture of Joseph Kennedy which was held in England at that time, which was just of a reactionary and cowardly anglophobe.
If President Kennedy believed all these things, then I think what must have eaten into his soul was the notion that one must never appease; that if one begins by appeasing, one always ends up in some kind of humiliating and terrible position. This, of course, probably emerged in his book, which I didn't read. At any rate, I think he rationalized the position of his father as somebody who, perhaps mistakenly, diagnosed the position of England as hopeless when it was nearly hopeless. And therefore his particular thought took the form of saying that this must never occur to any great country again, that as soon as the faintest little danger appeared in the sky, as soon as a cloud which was no bigger than your hand appeared, immediate steps must be taken, because once one allows oneself to drift along some kind of comfortable path of compromise and appeasement, one will end up in some hideously dangerous and, indeed, humiliating position.
This determined his whole attitude to politics, his whole attitude to Russia, for example. I mean, he was prepared to be reasonable; he was prepared to use judgment; he was prepared not to allow his passions to dominate him; but he felt that resistance must be offered at once. At no point must one allow the enemy to get away with it; otherwise the terrible 1939 situation would come upon us again.
This he had in common with people like Eden, with people like Lord Salisbury, with people like Macmillan, whose entire political outlook after the war was certainly shaped and determined by their violent opposition to Chamberlain and to Munich, and by the fact that this was certainly the worst moral crisis which England passed through in their time, in which the decision which had been taken by the government was plainly morally wrong and politically disastrous. I think he was with them, so to speak. I think his sympathies lay with the anti-appeasers of the late 1930s, an attitude which he applied to the world situation in the 1960s.
A.S.: Though I think it was tempered in the case of Kennedy and Macmillan by a great sense of the horror of nuclear war. I know Kennedy would distinguish very sharply between Berlin on the one hand and Laos on the other, as to where you hold the line. Kennedy never felt that Laos was worthy of the attention of great powers.
I.B.: No, I see that. But what I meant was that the anti-appeasers in England—I mean Macmillan, Eden, Salisbury, and all these people—felt that war could have been averted with a firmer policy. Not that war should have occurred sooner, which was a different line. There were people, of course, who thought that, too. There were people who thought that we should have fought, I don't know, in 1936, if need be, when the Germans reoccupied the Rhineland, and that if they then refused to budge after due warnings were issued, perhaps a war at that stage would have been less costly but no less avoidable than later.
I think the people I speak of genuinely thought that Hitler could have been restrained from going to war, and I should have thought that was Kennedy's view, too. Not so much that it is better to fight than to give in, which he may also have believed, as that if you are prepared to fight at a critical phase it is possible to avoid war; and that the English statesmen and that section of the public who took that line in the 1930s were absolutely right.
A.S.: How would you distinguish Kennedy from the two other great American liberal heroes of this period, Roosevelt and Stevenson?
I.B.: Roosevelt, I think, was a very different thing altogether. I think Roosevelt was a fundamentally optimistic, happy, charming man with the tremendous natural sense of ease of a person who was born in a socially superior position, and who held, at the same time, views well to the left of his environment and his class. He was, in fact, an aristocratic radical, which is a very different thing. Nothing is more attractive than the combination of old-world manners and new-world convictions, and this proved absolutely irresistible. He found that by the use of charm, and with his general optimism and bonhomie and his large and generous personality, and by jollying people along, and by general affability all round, and not thinking things out too clearly, and not being overconcerned about the precise details of policy, he managed to roll this enormous team along toward objectives which I think he did have.
Unlike people who think that he was a pure improviser and that he had no philosophy at all, I think he had a vision of the kind of world he wished to create. I think he really was in favor of curing poverty and ignorance and doing something for the underprivileged of the world. And I think this was a kind of generous aristocratic dream, rather of an English nineteenth-century sort. I dare say people like Lord John Russell probably had it in a perhaps not quite so exuberant and ebullient fashion.
But the point about Roosevelt was that he was easygoing and thought, "Let the future come; it is all grist to our mill. We'll manage it when it comes." I don't think he liked laying precise plans, and I don't think he liked distributing precise responsibilities. Therefore the whole atmosphere was easy, relaxed, optimistic, and maddening for those who liked tidiness and order, and wanted to know precisely where they were, and believed in balanced budgets and exact formulations. That is what gave him the reputation of being not altogether a man of honor, capable of letting people down, capable, with an easy smile and a laugh, of transforming one policy into another, and not really being overscrupulous about whom he happened to drown in the process.

The Germans have an idea: when calculating fleetwide emissions rules at the end of the decade, don't count the 20 percent of our vehicles that are truly road-mauling gas guzzlers. That's more or less what the German government is asking for in its attempt to get the European Union to be a little more lenient about its strict emissions mandate for 2020, Bloomberg News reports.
German environment minister Peter Altmaier says the government is in talks with the EU about lightening up a bit on the German auto industry, which includes luxury and higher-end sports car makers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Right now, Europe's automakers are charged with cutting emissions by about 30 percent to 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer by the end of the decade. Germany says it's OK with that if the EU counts only 80 percent of its new vehicles, boosting that percentage up to 90 percent in 2022 and going full compliance in 2024, four years after the current goal.
German officials have been lobbying for a more lenient 2020 emissions mandate since at least this summer, and BMW has said the current standards would be "impossible" to meet. That's because Germany's fleetwide CO2 emissions are about 11 percent higher than the rest of Europe's, and German automakers would have to cut fleetwide emissions by about 55 percent to meet the EU's 2020 target.

Murder 3 Review
Murder 3 Movie Review by Indicine critic Joginder Tuteja
'These guys indeed know how to tell a murderous tale' – That's what one ends up exclaiming the moment last shot of Murder 3 is seen on screen. A thoroughly engaging affair that makes you nod in agreement with the choice of subject that first timer Vishesh Bhatt has made for his directorial outing, the film not just lives up to the huge expectations that one has from the Murder franchise, it also makes one think of the kind of ideas that time and again get a green signal from the Bhatt camp. No wonder, Murder 3 entertains, shocks and makes you rub your eyes in disbelief as the drama unfolds.
However before one starts believing that all is perfectly well with Murder 3, here is an observation. The film comes on it's own only in the second half. In fact the entire first hour of the film, if seen in isolation without stepping into the second hour, 'seems' plain ordinary. Yes, once the second hour starts unfolding, everything about the hour gone by starts making sense. In fact, a lot of sense! However for that, one has to be really patient till the interval card flashes.
Murder 3 Review
This means right from the opening shot where Aditi Rao Hydari disappears from the scene to the instant love that develops between Randeep Hooda and Sara Loren to the police investigation – just about everything appears not just haphazard but even half baked. (Spoilers ahead) It is just impossible to believe the manner in which Randeep and Sara come together or the latter turning out to be dumb enough to follow him or the mysterious ways in which Randeep talks or a distracting angle about a cop expressing his feelings for Sara. Frankly, after a point there is a sense of disengagement that starts setting in. Of course there are spooky moments thrown in between which leads to some level of intrigue but then constant flip-flop in proceedings tends to make one a little impatient.
However the turnaround takes place a few minutes into the second half, and how. The twist in the tale is amazingly established and the 40 minutes that follow bring the film into third, fourth and the fifth gear with the kind of fervour that one was waiting for all this while. Really, it is one of the best second halfs to have come out of a Bollywood film. Of course the storyline is an official adaptation of a Spanish film but that doesn't matter at all as Vishesh along with his team of technicians makes sure that the tension continues to build with every passing minute before a double twist in the tale during the penultimate moments make Murder 3 the kind of film that is unique indeed.
Aditi Rao Hydari stands tall in this show that actually belongs to her, regardless of her actual presence or absence on the scene. She gets the emotions right, whether in the vulnerable or romantic junctures of the film. Not just that as the kind of subtle humour that she brings on screen is a treat that makes one smile even in the moments that could have otherwise become too heavy. Randeep Hooda plays his part well though one wonders why his character had to sound so mystereious in the very first place. He gets it right though as an actor who can be entrusted for a lead role. Sara Loren is truly attractive and plays her part well in a role that requires her to bring different shades. In fact at places she also reminds one of the kind of characterisation that Bipasha Basu had in Raaz.
The film carries a polished look throughout though editing seems a little jerky in the first half. Music, though pleasant indeed, seems like a distraction and one wouldn't have minded had this been a songless affair. Background music by Bhatt regular Raju Singh is fantastic though and aids the film's narrative in a big way, especially the second half.
A big win for the franchise comes from the fact that it presents a cocktail of drama, emotions, horror and (of course) erotica really well, hence making Murder 3 yet another good film to be unleashed by Bollywood this year. Moreover, after one is through watching the film, even the first half starts sounding a lot more enjoyable as you connect the dots. In the times when there are films that claim to tell a story from 'two different point of views' and hardly end up making an imprssion, Murder 3 is a case study on how it is actually done while taking the audience in confidence and not taking their intelligence for granted.
At the box office the film has started on a slow note which is surprising since as a franchise, Murder holds a good recall value. However due to it's inherent merits, it may pick up during the weekend. There is continued competition from Special 26 as well as ABCD but controlled costs should bring Murder 3 past the safety mark.
Go for it.

Murder 3 is edgy, fast-paced & manages few thrilling moments. The music and soundtrack fits in the narrative of the story. Overall 'Murder 3′ is one of the finest thrillers from Bhat Brothers. It's worth one time watch.

Murder3 (2013) film.
Murder -3, is different in style as compared to two earlier films, it is more centered on the mystery of a house. It has an usual room with a view, a reinforced glass panel with a mysterious key. Murder 3 is one of the Bollywood film that a style of direction which keeps the plot intact in most segments. However, the climax doesn't takes place at peak but it vanishes.
There are sudden jump scares in 'Murder 3' and suspense stands out of an atmosphere which was thought to be a world of happiness. It turns out be in reverse. The mirror special effects are quite commendable and provide felling of realism.
Songs of the film are superb, and will be remembered, but the overall plot may not work for a cinegoer looking for high speed fun, the film pace varies from standstill to gradual to and back to stop, it progresses, but it does not affect the movie going experience, in fact it would work for those who appreciates genre of suspense couple with a pinch of spook.
Digital-Sound editing is very good, and surround effects were truly impressive for a film which revolves on the female central characters and a mysterious male lead.
The story unfolds after interval with a force, and the M3 has moments that one would remember, even after the last reel / end credits. We do not concur with those big critics who said altogether in-adverse. The movie must be adjudged from various key points and selecting a loophole and then joining it to create a view will be perhaps misleading and may create confusion for many movie buffs.
Due to some adult content, M-3 may not be a family film, but they play their own role in the film. If one tries to watch M3 with those critic's lines in mind or whatever they had remarked in various reviews, it may dissolve the fun, just see it with a point of accepting the good efforts of the film-making team then you won't be cribbing too much.
Performance of Sara Loren, Aditi Rao Hyderi, and Randeep Hooda are worth praising & would hopefully cement the Murder-series.
We went to cinema, after reading many adverse reviews and some positive views. We are quite happy to see Murder-3, There may not much of a skin show as of Murder and M-2, (it may disappoint the front benchers), but, M3 has a superb photography, location, set design, & good performance of the leading of the lead stars. An atmosphere zealous film ****- 7.1/ 10

|Normal Attacks
The Seer is an accurate, heavy pistol of Grineer design utilizing Orokin technology, creating a unique hybrid weapon. It features innate magnification for aiming and a high damage per bullet but has a low muzzle velocity.
The Seer is used exclusively by the Grineer Boss, Captain Vor.
This weapon can be sold for 5,000.
|Manufacturing Requirements
|Time: 12 hr
|Rush: 50
|Market Price: N/A
|Blueprint Price: N/A
Drop Locations
Tower refers to the Orokin Void
All parts are dropped from Captain Vor on Tolstoj, Mercury.
This weapon deals equal physical damage.
- Has superior zoom capabilities (excellent for long range).
- High base damage.
- Fastest projectile of non-hitscan weapons (along with Lanka).
- Faster fire rate and higher damage compared to the Lex.
- Perfectly balanced damage between Impact, Slash, and Puncture.
- Superior zoom capabilities makes zooming in at close range a hindrance.
- High zoom amplifies perceived recoil when aiming.
- Slow reload speed.
- Cannot crit.
- Bullets have slight travel time.
- Does not convert to hitscan with Volt's Electric Shield.
- Lack of a specialized damage type makes it less useful for faction-focused builds.
Weapon LoadoutsEdit
- Main article: Category:Seer Build
See the user build section for builds using this weapon.
- Use it for stationary mid-long range targets (or easy to track targets), the bullet travel time and the gun's slow fire rate makes it hard to use on moving targets and for some reason it misses extremely close targets.
- When using multishot mods you can decrease the spread of the extra shot(s) by zooming in, or fire from the hip to increase the chance of headshots (as the multiple shots will spread out slightly)
- The Seer has reasonably strong recoil when zoomed in. Consider using Steady Hands to make it more controllable; when maxed out, the Seer's recoil should be almost completely unnoticeable.
- Though the shot explodes on impact, the effect is purely graphical. This weapon has no blast radius/area of effect.
- Multishot can be observed with long range shots, but is not noticeable short-to-medium range.
- The Seer's components used to have the same drop algorithm as the Cronus blueprint; every subsequent visit to Tolstoj used to decrease the drop rate. This has since been fixed.
- The bulb on the right side of the weapon is the magazine. Prior to U12 the bulb on the right side of the weapon rotated when the gun was reloaded, and the Seer had the default sidearm reload animation
- This is the only Original/Prime hybrid weapon, which integrates the original and Orokin design.
- Prior to U12 the energy color customization option had no effect on the color of the projectile's trail.
- The slash damage is actually a tiny bit less than the other damages, shown when using a max damage and multishot build, the UI will show the slash damage to be 1 or more less than the others.
- This weapon may be connected to Vor's taunt in which he says, "I see you."

Open to working in South Film Industry – Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgn, whose upcoming film Son Of Sardar is a remake of director S.S. Rajamouli's Telugu film 'Maryada Ramanna', says he is open to acting in southern films, but feels language could be a barrier.
Asked if he would like to work with Rajamouli on a southern project in future, he said: "It's just that I don't know the language and it will take me a lot of time to. But if there is something fabulous then, why not."
The 43-year-old spoke on the sidelines of a press meet of "Makkhi", the Hindi dubbed version of Rajamouli's "Eega". Ajay has lent his voice for the opening sequence of the film and reportedly, Kajol has also rendered her voice.
"Makkhi" will also see the protagonist of the film do a typical Ajay Devgn stunt, when he will be seen balancing on two flies, just like Ajay has balanced on two horses in Son of Sardar.
Meanwhile, Ajay, who has worked in a few Bollywood remakes of southern films like Singham and Yuva, believes it is a give-and-take relationship between Bollywood and southern cinema.
"It's not like I have deliberately thought about it. But this is a continuous thing. If there is a good Hindi film, it is remade in south and if we like a south film, then we buy the rights and make it in Hindi. I think this exchange will always go on," Ajay said.

Mr.ajay devagan is the third greatest actor of our generation after the legendary megastar big b ji & mr.aamir khan, the perfectionist superstar.If any he is not a great dancer but otherwise he is the most versatile, talented and natural actor along with the likes of big b,aamir & hrithik. So many south indians would welcome such a great actor into their great domain i.e south indian film industry.
mr.raja mouli has directed only 9 movies so far and his each & every movie have been super successful both commercially and critically. In the field of 'commercial cinema with a blend of cinematic finesse', there is none better than mr.rajamouli at present and he along with mr.shanker are the best in this category.

It seems jealousy,insecurity,arrogance and underestimating others are srk fan's main attributes. Jthj is a movie only for classes(some 35% of indian population) but SOS is mainly for the masses but it is such a good movie, that it will even woo the classes. But the only problem is that yrf have prebooked more than 70% of all the screens and so unfortunately it will be an unfair competition between jthj & SOS. i can say with 100% surety that if both movies release in equal number of theatres at the same time, SOS will easily beat jthj as far as indian box office collections are concerned.

Even srk could have done many blockbuster remakes which would result in tremendous box office collection, but no- he mostly worked on original scripts and thats why i have a respect for him…..
The reason why ajay's sos is hyped becoz of the name "SRK" thats it.
Just wait for diwali, Inshallah JTHJ will overshadow this crap remake and emerge as the biggest blockbuster of the year.

The truth is that srk can never ever suit any south indian character and srk cant even convincingly portray 'eunuch roles' in those movies inspite of actually being 1 of them. Nothing could be more funnier than srk doing a rowdy rathore or a wanted. And the silliest joke srk fans make is that he does only 'original movies' while the truth is that he has already made a world record and is a guiness record holder as far as his movies 'PLAGIARISM' are concerned.

Ajay is a "TWO TIME NATIONAL AWARD WINNER FOR THE BEST ACTOR" actor and not the fake,fixed & bribed 'filmfare or stardust or etc" award winner. Many indians have accepted ajay as a great versatile talented actor except for some "GOATS" & "MENTALS".

EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire forensics team hosted Wisconsin Lovefest Feb. 14-15 on the UW-Eau Claire campus. The event consisted of the Grace Walsh Individual Events Tournament, hosted by the UW-Eau Claire forensics team on Feb. 14, and the Red Hawk Invitational, hosted by Ripon College on Feb. 15.
The UW-Eau Claire forensics team offered valentines to competitors and coaches for a $1 donation. Additionally, tournament participants nominated people for Love King and Queen and voted on the top three nominees for a penny a vote. Just over $500 was raised and donated to the Bolton Refuge House.
"I truly believe, when we can, that forensics should give back to the community, and the Lovefest is just one of the many forensics tournaments that allow us to do so," said UW-Eau Claire director of forensics Karen Morris.
The UW-Eau Claire forensics team place third overall in the Feb. 15 Red Hawk Invitational. The individual results are as follows:
Junior Nick Miller, Hales Corners, placed first in communication analysis, qualifying for that event in the National Forensic Association tournament.
Senior Jake Johnson, Eau Claire, placed second in editorial impromptu speaking, fourth in after-dinner speaking, qualifying for NFA, and fourth in individual sweepstakes.
Freshman Patrick Martin, Burnsville, Minn., placed third in after-dinner speaking, qualifying for NFA.
Senior Eric Plantenberg, Monroe, placed third in communication analysis.
Sophomore Sarah Taylor, Merrill, placed fourth in persuasion and fifth in duo interpretation along with sophomore Alicia Gerber, Ringle.
Freshman James Kust, Eau Claire, placed fourth in impromptu speaking.
Junior Kindra Kressin, Champion, Neb., placed fourth in prose interpretation.
Junior Emily Schreiner, Wausau, placed fifth in after-dinner speaking, qualifying for NFA.
Sophomore Meghan Pickard, Eau Claire, placed sixth in persuasion, qualifying for NFA, and seventh in extemporaneous speaking.

Meeting Minutes
November 15th, 2010
- Location: Sayles 251
- Time: 7:00 pm
- Present: President Jinai Bharucha, Vice President Isaac Hodes, Treasurer Sarah Duane, and Senators Joe Marren, Jonathan Hillis, Kelsey Han, Noe Hernandez, Justin Jack, Asim Manizada, Semira Mohammed, Marc Boyce, Arnav Durani, Bill Brinkman, Justin Moor, Ned Heckman, Mackenzie Persen
- Absent: Carleton Keedy, Sana Rafiq, Charlotte Turovsky, John O'Neil, Rhys Lindmark
- Secretary: Adele Daniel
Budget Committee Recommendations
Appointment of Student Member of the Academic Standing Committee
Setting the 2011-2012 Student Activity Fee
Budget Committee Recommendations
The following requests were approved unanimously:
I. Poets, Inc
Amount Requested: $4,500 (for an event in April)
Budget Committee recommendation: $2,700
II. Carleton Graphic
Amount Requested: $900 (for an event in April)
Budget Committee recommendation: $900
Bharucha: Is there nothing in our bylaws about people not requesting money for other terms? It is concerning that people come to you so early.
Hodes: Nothing in the bylaws.
Hillis: They need to book in advance.
Bharucha: I want to make sure that people don't all start doing that. That could be a bylaw change.
Bharucha: That disadvantages people who aren't able to plan a term in advance.
Appointment of Student Member of the Academic Standing Committee
Bharucha: Amy Kim from the Class of 2013. It makes sense to have someone younger who can be on the committee longer.
Hillis: What does the academic standing committee do?
Bharucha: They approve special majors and petitions for things and deal with academic dishonesty.
Han: Is there a senator on the committee?
Bharucha: No, we changed it last year. She is studying abroad right now.
Appointment is approved unanimously.
Setting the 2011-2012 Student Activity Fee
Hodes: Every year we have to approve the fee and the support fund. Last year we changed it from $231 down 1%. I'm proposing a 10% increase of $24 which is allows for the 4% increase. We run out of money consistently at the end of the term. Budget Committee awards more money at the beginning of the term. We have not been able to fund really cool events later in the term. With more money, we can stop worry about that and instead enable us to fund them fully. That is what the student activity fee is for. We keep getting more club sports. We had three added between spring and this fall, and there are two more on the way. It's not been decided. Those cost a lot of money. They requested $115,000 and they got $105,000 and the costs are bound to go up even more.
Durani: It is required by members of club sports to pay dues?
Bharucha: No.
Durani: Do we give funding even if the participants do not pay dues?
Hodes: We don't decide who becomes a club sport. Dues depend on the sport. We could ameliorate that at least a little bit. Spring Concert and Cave are also getting more expensive. We have regular clubs being chartered which also require spending. The Carleton Graphic apparently has been attracting attention outside of Carleton and we haven't been able to fund them as much as we like. On top of all of that, which $24 would cover, one thing that I've been considering is CSA having a capital endowment fund which would be what Cap Reserves are now, but have the money which rolls over and could be invested, like our own endowment. It gives CSA more purchasing power for bigger more expensive items without such an impact on our immediate financial situation. When KRLX needs big purchases, we can't necessarily do that now. Same with the Cave, and maybe some of the publishing groups will need computers. It also gives us more security when we are running low, because that will be there. Eventually, it might be able to supplement our income. Trinity College, and maybe others, does that, and can allow them to lower their student activity fee.
The student activity support fund, which was established two years ago, fund the people who are on financial aid and can't afford the fee. We need to set that too. We set it by a per person amount. Last year it was $14.
Bharucha: This year 95 students received that, and it was about $13,500. A handful of people were rejected because they didn't accept their self-help portion of financial aid.
Hodes: It comes from the $14 of the other student's activities fee.
Bharucha: 95 people applied, $13,500 was applied.
Hodes: We funded roughly $25,000 for it.
Hillis: I thought it was more like $5000.
Bharucha: They told us that number. It was $14 per person on campus, with about 1800 of people. We only used $13,000. We could make it $8 or $9 per person. We publicized it a lot, and still only 95 students got it. We need to vote.
Hillis: $24 is a lot. There are a lot of things that we do that we don't need to be funding as much. Club sports increases are a big concern will lead to some raising, but I feel like $24 is a lot. There are better ways to cut costs.
Boyce: Why are we raising the fee and lowering the support fee? You want to compensate for that.
Bharucha: We need to figure out how much we are wanting to cover.
Hodes: We would still have $9,000, even if a lot more people apply and we cover the increase.
Heckman: We lowered it last year and I haven't noticed an unfair extra amount of budget committee request. It doesn't need to go from a 1% decrease to a 10% increase.
Martin: We should keep it the same or lower it. The economic situation is difficult. We are part of an institution that can't say no. It's obvious that as we get bigger, nothing gets subtracted. Costs skyrocket. This is a low ranking priority, but it is an important message that students can send.
Manizada: Can you elaborate on why it was decreased?
Bharucha: I proposed the decrease last year.
Duane: We didn't put a lot of thought into it. It was during the fall when we didn't have as many requests.
Bharucha: Tons of people are enjoying the events, and we would like to fund them.
Manizada: How many years have we decreased it?
Bharucha: Just this past year.
Manizada: Some people are mad about some of things that we are funding. They didn't like that we were paying and redistributing money that way. Given the climate, I'd rather not.
Hodes: I worry about taking anecdotal things like that and extrapolating. Budget Committee has cut down large amounts of things that could have happened. There are simply things that can't be funded. We are taking from Cap Reserves for one event.
Boyce: We are doing that from Honorarium in April.
Hodes: We are clearly running into problems with funding. It is a small amount. It is a compounding fee. It has to do this. We need to go a little bit above inflation.
Durani: I don't see a reason to raise it.
Duane: Any student activity fee is going to be redistributed unequally. That can't be stopped. $24 sounds like a lot. I'm open to lowering that, but I will argue for an increase. I've never seen numbers go down to $0. For winter we have $7500 to spend. That's not enough money. That makes me sad.
Hillis: I don't think that decreasing is the right option. While there is a problem not saying no institutionally, I disagree that this isn't something that can increase. The student activity fee is the best bang for the buck. On the other hand, there are a lot of other places where we can cut money. An increase is the right decision, but not one that large.
Martin: We have a budget committee because they can do the coolest stuff with limited resources. From freshmen year to this year, they have become more relaxed, and not cutting as much. It doesn't make sense to increase it because we are being more generous.
Bharucha: We hear a lot of complaints from people not getting money from CSA. We can strike a balance between making judgment calls and making sure that students don't hate CSA.
Mohammed: Big events are getting funding by going to departments, etc.
Brinkman: Will this be for the whole year?
Hodes: Yes.
Brinkman: How will this endowment thing play out?
Hodes: Pretty much immediately.
Brinkman: So this is happening this year.
Hodes: Yes. We should look at the practicality and not the principle. What can we cut? Is it impossible to admit that there are more events that we should fund than we can fund? More people come to the events that we fund than they expect. Departments are feeling the strain. There are a lot of generalizations from people who are not on budget committee. There are a lot of cool events that budget committee cuts.
Bharucha: When it takes BC more than 15 minutes to try to save $50, that's a problem. If more students are having trouble paying for this, then they can apply for the support fund. The application was your name, your class year, and whether you are on financial aid, just to get $150. No one complains about it.
Hodes: If people can't afford it, they can apply for the support fund.
Hernandez: We are forgetting that people hated CSA Senate because of how we funded stuff. How funding was done was not liked by the student body.
Boyce: I'm interested in why we increased it by 15%.
Bharucha: A lot of our bad PR comes from funding. That was a big problem. I haven't heard as much of that in the last year or two. Events that do get cut, that contributes to anger.
Durani: Are there statistics about which groups use their money?
Duane: I can find that information.
Durani: A lot of groups don't use it.
Duane: It goes back in to Cap Reserves. That is part of the reason that Cap Reserves is high right now.
Hillis: Hodes asked, where we can cut things? Pre-prepared food for the events, conferences, the Algol, SUMO. I would like to see cuts being made. I like that people are not feeling the heat of the fee. I would like to propose a 5% increase, which puts us above inflation. An increase of $15. It would be $228. We are spending $46,000 on SUMO and no one goes. I will be bringing that to Senate when they come to Senate. I can't understand 10% and 15% increases compounding and setting that increase.
Bharucha: The attendance for SUMO has been good.
Duane: Right now there is $96,000 in Cap Reserves and there is supposed to be $65,000. I would propose a 5% by $12 and do the rest from that extra money from cap reserves. It would essentially be a 10% increase, and see if that works for next year. If we are left with extra money, we can lower it again. It is a compromise. It takes 5% from students and take the rest from CSA.
Bharucha: We would take the extra from CSA and raise the fee by $12.
Martin: I want to support the 5% increase. The idea that if people ask us for money and we give it to them, then people will like us, that's true, but that's not to the point. We need to make important decisions about things. The current system of funding fully events early on does not work. We are here to make decisions.
Manizada: SUMO was cut last year already by how much? How much funding is there for the people who apply for the support?
Bharucha: This year it was $150 total.
Manizada: If everyone on financial aid came and asked us for money, how much could we cover?
Bharucha: We could give 168 students waivers. We set that because the year before more people didn't apply. If more people were applying we would allocate more money.
Duane: For SUMO, the amount we funded them was raised, but we funded less than their request. They had a complete program overhaul.
Moor: We take it out of cap reserves and if people are happier then we change it next year by 7%?
Duane: Yes, I would advise that.
Hodes: Last year, had we raised it 4%, and then raise it 4% again this year, then that gets us back on track. I don't hear why 5% isn't too much. Why is 5% better? This is where we would be if we raised it the 4% so we can account for the programs that we have added and club sports.
Hillis: My numbers line up with Duane, I'll back that. In response to Hodes, we lowered it last year because there was no need to raise it. You have to base it off the perceived need. It is coming from the fact that we have increased expenses but we can make cuts.
Hodes: It's 3% above inflation.
Hillis: Raise it to $240 and take $22,000 out of cap reserves.
Duane: My proposal would do that.
Hernandez: My biggest concern is that people did not like Senate before. A lot of cultural groups felt the strain. That's where a lot of groups will feel the strain.
Martin: SASF. I didn't know that it was there, and I'm pretty involved. I don't know how it was advertised, but I didn't know it was available.
Hodes: $252, with SASF being $14 of that.
Hillis/Duane: $240, with SASF being $14.
Jack: Is there a way we can give students the financial aid automatically?
Bharucha: Originally, our logic was that some students on aid would be okay with that. 50% of all students are on financial aid, and it is really complicated to scale it.
Manizada: How was SASF advertised last year?
Bharucha: Did class reps send out email lists? You had them the whole fall. It might not have been.
Duane: It was in a lot of other places, such as the NNB and all-campus emails.
Manizada: In the future, could we make it clear on the Tuition statement on the Hub?
Hodes: I will definitely ask.
Bharucha: We can't give it to everyone on financial aid.
Hodes proposal for a $252 student activity fee with $14 going to SASF passed with
Hodes, Persen, Moor, Brinkman, Marren, Hernandez, Boyce, and Jack in favor.
Duane, Han, Mohammed, Heckman, and Hillis opposed.
Durani and Manizada abstaining.
Bharucha: Anne O'Gara is back with the vending machines. We need to talk to her to move forward with the vending machines.
O'Gara: We have been working on the project since we met with you and Food Truth. We also met with Dan Bergeson, who is in charge of all of this. We need to find the locations. It is ultimately up to you. We need to come up with a resolution on the percentage going to CSA. We are selling 12-ounce cans of Blue Sky brand natural soda at a dollar a can. The price point will benefit both of us in the best way. More people are willing to buy this than the $1.25 bottles. We can anticipate volume more. We can look at from 10-15%. This allow for consistent contributing to the CSA fund. We are here to settle on that. Bergeson is ready to move forward.
Han: What are the locations?
O'Gara: There are seven possibilities. Myers, Watson, LDC, Boliou, and Mudd. Those are the best for traffic and possibility. The other possibilities that need more research are Goodhue and West Gym.
Durani: Did you mention Sayles? Because if you want a position in Sayles, the bookstore could be a location.
O'Gara: The bookstore sells soda already, and we are looking to provide a 24-hour service. It is a different kind of contract.
Hodes: Where did 10-15% come in? We get more from Coke and Pepsi.
O'Gara: You have a unique situation here with CSA getting the money according to Bergeson. He is in a weird position where you approve the contracts and he figures out the logistics. This is of gross sales and the other ones are of their net profit. It might come out to be the same. Pepsi and Coke have control over what their product costs, but we are buying wholesale. We want to be somewhere where the amount we give you is more fixed. The rest is what we deal with in terms of making the business work. We are taking into account insurance and transportation and the fluctuations in product cost.
Bharucha: Is this for one year?
O'Gara: We have settled on a year to start, starting in January of 2011. After that year is up will review it with you. That will also be different than with Coke and Pepsi. We can reevaluate after that year. If students don't want to buy it, we'll move on.
Bharucha: You gave us 6 locations that we need to choose, and we need to come up with a number between 10-15?
O'Gara: We were thinking 12 cents.
Bharucha: We need to decide if that is okay. In terms of stocking it, are you doing that daily or weekly?
O'Gara: We will be checking them regularly, about once a week.
Bharucha: We are not paying you anything. You are putting them in, and we are just getting some of the profit.
O'Gara: We just need lots of people with sweet tooth.
Hillis: Can we ask them to step out when we make decisions?
Bharucha: Sure.
Han: Did you know we had a decrease in use in vending machines? We were thinking about doing a one-card reader.
O'Gara: We are aware that this is a declining industry. This is something different and worthy of a try.
Han: Will you mark the locations with existing machines?
Boliou and Mudd do not.
Brinkman: Are there disadvantages?
O'Gara: You won't lose money. You could lose in utilities, but that would quickly be offset. These are sites proposed by Bergeson, with space and power capabilities.
Brinkman: The College are paying utilities, and that is it?
O'Gara: Yes.
Hodes: The only loss is the opportunity cost is if someone else approached us for the space.
Hillis: You have to assume that people are intending to pay for sodas. This is a potential decrease from the Pepsi and Coke revenue.
Bharucha: Since it is a one-year trial one, we voted, and senators would like to see 15% of the gross. We would like them in the LDC and Boliou. If so, we are willing to talk to Bergeson. It is up to the department, if they really don't want it. Art students would really like that for their late nights. Mudd was second. It would be cool to have an update next term.
O'Gara: You will have an idea about how much we are selling. 15% is agreeable. I'm wondering about the changeover in Senate, can we make a notation for the future senators, that you chose 15%, which is on the high end?
Heckman: Most of us are underclassmen.
Durani: That's why updates would be helpful.
O'Gara: We will meet with Dan to get to get this going.
Bharucha: Rafiq will be gone next term. We will appoint a new friend for Heckman at the beginning of next term. 56 people have taken the survey. We need more feedback. If each can get 10 friends to do it, that would be great. It is very easy.
Hodes: Class reps might want to do an end of term update like the vending machine update and the trayless Tuesday statistics with the survey.
Bharucha: We are getting some interesting feedback on the survey.
Hernandez: I'm working on the Town Hall for Winter term about the grievance procedures, how they happen on campus. Not modifying anything else, but we are trying to tell people what is in place. How to go about complaining about professors in a way that is fair for students and professors? We are trying to update students and then modify potentially.
Bharucha: We will talk about this officially next term.
Hillis: Admissions and financial aid committee is setting their agenda. Is there anything that you would like us to put on?
Bharucha: Is the STAR grant going to expire?
Hillis: We are talking about that and scholarships like it.
Bharucha: I saw some of the impact of what making up for those things would do for our budget. It is important to take that into account.
Durani: They are phasing them out for new students.
Bharucha: Figure out what is happening to keep up that enrollment.
Hillis: We are talking about the role that those play. If there is anything like that, talk to me about it.
Han: Are we continuing trayless Tuesdays in the winter?
Bharucha: We don't want this to be just a CSA thing, because we want to keep our PR up. It is a wider decision of the student body. We will probably do some kind of referendum question.
Hillis: Weren't we supposed to have a review of this?
Bharucha: Yes, before they enacted full trayless.
Hodes: It felt like that was in the spirit of the agreement to me. Bon Appétit and Bergeson are fine with it.
Bharucha: There has been positive and negative feedback. It is important to follow through on being sustainable.
Jack: Everyone I talked to hates it.
Bharucha: It is important to get that feedback and we will leave it up to the students.

The Fracking Prostitutes of American Colleges (part 3 of 3)
by Walter Brasch [Part 1: Lackawanna College, a two-year college in Scranton, Pa., accepted a $2.5 million endowment from Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. to strengthen that college's programs and ties to the oil and gas industry. Part 2: Problems with academic integrity in other Pennsylvania colleges.] Among the mission statements of the University of North Dakota Department of Geology and Geological Engineering is that it "strives to develop in its engineering graduates keen insight and abilities to design an environmentally sound and sustainable future for humanity." Like most college mission statements, it's a broad and vague goal, one that may not reflect reality.

...£295 for a midweek break next week...
The robin is entirely out of contact but I just couldn't resist popping him in.
What with trying to get our tax done before the crucial Jan 31 HMRC deadline whilst making loads of marmalade I have rather lost sight of the fact that we have the Monday 23 to Friday 27 midweek break next week still free in both Tom's and Douglas's Barns.
That was careless; so in the hopes of making up for lost time we are offering the midweek break in either barn for £295. For what you would be getting that is extremely good value.
If two lots of friends or two generations of a family wanted to book at the same time to come 'together but apart' the total price would be £560. A number of our guests have found this an ideal arrangement: you have all of the fun of sharing meals, walks and outings and yet all the pleasure of being on your own when you want to be, with none of the inconvenience and loss of privacy of actually sharing a house.
So! Whether couple on your own or two together, first come first served! Give us a ring, or email. If we haven't done our tax returns off by Monday I may possibly appear somewhat jaded but nevertheless possibly all the more delighted to welcome you, and we can guarantee a fresh pot of newly made Seville Orange marmalade!
Maybe even a larger pot than usual if the tax is done…

A Ranch House Makeover
In Los Angeles's Laurel Canyon, a photographer transforms her simple house with "good bones" into a magnificent compound that combines urban and industrial with provincial and girlie.
By Alexandria Mott
Dining Room
The sunroom, part of the original 1952 house, is also the entrance. Photographer and owner Amy Neunsinger installed two pairs of double glass doors to create an indoor-outdoor flow. "The room really feels more like a patio," she says. The photographs include several taken by Neunsinger and her photo assistants. Antique Chinese chairs are paired with a vintage Saarinen table. Coffee table by Eric Troop; chandelier from Ochre. Walls are painted Van de Cane by Dunn-Edwards.

A successful leader needs to win the hearts and minds of those that she leads. In order to do this successfully, she needs to be willing and able to inspire, understand, empathise, and motivate her managers/teams/employees. Perhaps most importantly, the leader must be congruent in her expectations and behaviour – the standards that she holds to her tribe must be evident in her own values and actions.The ability to tackle problems and projects from both a top down and bottom up approach is useful of course, and a formidable leader will also add to this a flair for lateral thinking. But what separates the outstanding leaders from those that merely wish to lead is a...Read More
I know exactly how you feel. You have this amazing idea of a business and it just doesn't seem to work out. Hell, you're even making major steps backwards in pursuing this idea. And yet every cell in your body tells you that this idea has huge potential. But how do you get to the point where this idea begins to form into reality? Let me whisper something in your ear: "Discard the methods which didn't work so far and try something new. Take advantage of the opportunities that open up to you or you will regret it!"

When you're stuck inside on a rainy day
1 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971, Warner, G)
Sing along with poor little Charlie Bucket and bizarro chocolatier Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder); gloat at the well-deserved punishment of a medley of kids so nasty they make the Menendez brothers look like the Von Trapps; and savor another Hershey's kiss as you hunker down with this video equivalent of an overstuffed comforter.
2 Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back/Return of the Jedi"] (1977/80/83, FoxVideo, PG)
There will have to be a really long rainstorm, but watching this trilogy in one day will make you realize that George Lucas' sci-fi saga is Homer's Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, and Milton's Paradise Lost all rolled into one...topped off with a big, hairy Wookiee.
3 Lawrence of Arabia (1962, Columbia TriStar, PG)
You'll want to get the letterboxed version of this epic to check out David Lean's breathtaking desert landscapes. It may be pouring outside, but one look at this Peter O'Toole scorcher and you'll be reaching forthe iced tea and Bain de Soleil.
4 Jaws (1975, MCA/Universal, PG)
The big fish alone makes this quite a catch. But Steven Spielberg's maritime munchfest starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw is also one of the all-time best (and bloodiest) male-bonding movies.
5 The Ten Commandments (1956, Paramount, G)
Cecil B. DeMille's gripping yet hammy biblical epic is more than just a Passover TV perennial; it's the perfect rainy-day indulgence, what with the shameless overacting of stars Charlton Heston, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, and Yul Brynner.
6 Planet of the Apes (1968, FoxVideo, PG)
There's no such thing as too much Chuck Heston on a stormy day. This simian sociology lesson spawned four sequels, but go straight to the irony-soaked original to scratch that silly-monkey-makeup itch.
7 Deep Cover (1992, New Line, R)
Seen GoodFellas and The French Connection one too many times? For a fresh blast of urban adrenaline, check out this intense Laurence Fishburne-Jeff Goldblum action sleeper about an undercover cop who gets way too involved in the drug trade. And, no, that's not thunder it's firepower.
8 Rear Window (1954, MCA/Universal, PG)
If cabin fever is the ailment, this Hitchcock classic (with James Stewart and Grace Kelly) is the cure. Stewart winningly plays a laid-up photographer who believes he may have witnessed a neighbor's murder from his apartment window the perfect incentive for you to pull down the shades and put away the binoculars.
9 Misery (1991, Columbia TriStar, R)
You've been home all day watching movies. Time for Rob Reiner's film version of Stephen King's novel about a bedridden author and his insane No. 1 fan the best reason to get out of the sack...pronto!
10 The Seventh Seal (1956, Video Dimensions, unrated)
No one knows inclement weather like the Swedes. That's why Ingmar Bergman's brooding tale of a medieval knight's struggle with the black death will make you realize there's at least one person in the world more miserable than you are.
By Jason Cochran, Steve Daly, Glenn Kenny, Lois Alter Mark, Chris Nashawaty, Tim Purtell, Michael Sauter, and J.R. Taylor

Magnetic resonance imaging in bilateral brachial neuritis with pure sensory involvement.
Summary of "Magnetic resonance imaging in bilateral brachial neuritis with pure sensory involvement."
Brachial neuritis is characterized by shoulder and arm pain followed by weakness and atrophy of affected muscles and sensory loss in the arm. Isolated sensory involvement of the brachial plexus is very rare. Diagnosis of brachial neuritis is usually based on clinical history and examination, with the confirmation by electrodiagnostic tests. A 72-year-old woman presented with numbness and tingling in the bilateral upper extremities. While nerve conduction examination revealed only sensory abnormalities of the bilateral upper extremities, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed thickening and hyperintensity of the bilateral brachial plexus. We report a case of bilateral brachial neuritis with clinical and electrophysiological pure sensory involvement diagnosed using brachial plexus MRI. Although electrophysiological examination is thought to be the best diagnostic technique in the diagnosis of brachial neuritis, its findings sometimes indicate a distal lesion, while the involvement of the whole brachial plexus can be seen in MRI.

The use of molecularly targeted imaging probes to localize and/or monitor biochemical and cellular processes via various imaging modalities that include RADIONUCLIDE IMAGING; ULTRASONOGRAPHY; MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING; fluorescence imaging; and MICROSCOPY.
Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy
A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons. It is employed in clinical applications such as NMR Tomography (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING).
Echo-planar Imaging
A type of MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING that uses only one nuclear spin excitation per image and therefore can obtain images in a fraction of a second rather than the minutes required in traditional MRI techniques. It is used in a variety of medical and scientific applications.
Whole Body Imaging
The creation of a visual display of the inside of the entire body of a human or animal for the purposes of diagnostic evaluation. This is most commonly achieved by using MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING; or POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY.

Obama's deal with Karzai bans raids on al-Qaida bases in Pakistan
President Barack Obama has promised not to attack Pakistan-based al-Qaida leaders or fighters from bases inside Afghanistan.
The surprising commitment effectively bars Obama and his successors from launching another nighttime helicopter raid like the one that that killed Osama bin Laden. That raid has proven to be Obama's primary foreign-policy success because it killed bin Laden, scooped up much intelligence data and shocked Pakistan.
Obama's commitment will also end the use of secretive drone-attacks from Afghanistan. Those attacks have killed hundreds of al-Qaida leaders since the mid-2000s. They've also been very popular with U.S voters, and usually have had tacit Pakistan approval.
The unadvertised provision is buried in the deal that Afghan president Hamid Karzai and Obama signed with much campaign-style fanfare May 1 in Kabul. It could provide a legal shield for Pakistani-based al-Qaida's leaders, front-line fighters, terrorism-planners, allied terror-leaders, funders, terror bases and terror training-grounds.
"The United States further pledges not to use Afghan territory or facilities as a launching point for attacks against other countries," says the provision, found in paragraph 6b of the eight-page deal.
The deal was signed on the one-year anniversary of the bin Laden raid.
Prior to the 9/11 attacks, al-Qaida had a network of leaders and training centers in Afghanistan, from where they trained and dispatched the 19 terrorists who killed 2,996 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001. The remnant of that infrastructure is in Pakistan and Yemen following years of attacks by U.S. forces.
Some U.S. officials — but not the U.S. government — say Pakistani government agencies fund, train and protect several militant Islamic extremist groups in Pakistan. For example, U.S. prosecutors say the November 2011 attacks on a hotel and a Jewish center in Mumbai, India, were prepared and directed from Pakistan. That attack killed 164 people.
Even though Al-Qaida wants to overthrow the Afghan government, Karzai likely signed the safe harbor deal to minimize conflicts with neighboring Pakistan and Iran, said Elliot Cohen, a national-security professor at John Hopkins University's D.C.-based school of advanced international studies.

I can't take it anymore. This is an outrage! Obama needs to be put in prison NOW!
Didn't this son of a bitch say that al-qaida was destroyed? He is a lying usurper and Romney better call this shit out during this campaign. I bet Newt would.
Will there be any chance that this 'deal' can be repealed?Noteworthy Comment +16
Get all of our soldiers out of there now. And with the next attack on any Western country that can be traced to Afghanistan, flatten the place from the air.
This stupid agreement makes it easy for the cowards to attack us and then flee over the border to safety. Or even just lob some mortars or gunfire at them from just over the border, and we cannot shoot back. That is what you get from a "let's please the enemies" CIC. More kissing ass and more putting US lives in danger for nothing.Noteworthy Comment +18
Among the things he says – we're going to be there 12 more years training Afghan police and army.
According to NPR the training goal is to get soldiers to have the reading & arithmetic skills of a first grader, officers third grade skills.
Full text of Obama's speech from Kabul May 1 2012
This smells real bad. The way to win a war is to destroy the enemy, not to create a safe-haven for him. Think back-the U.S has made this mistake before.
Perhaps it is time to re-examine our objectives, not just in this theater, but worldwide.+8
It's not a treaty until the US Senate approves it. Though in the speech Barry says he's going to get "global" approval.
Heck – sounds like he can't wait to include the senate…Noteworthy Comment +10
one wonders whose side he is on…Noteworthy Comment +11
That worked great during Vietnam when they were about to destroy the Viet Cong headquarters in Cambodia before they were ordered to turn around…sigh…
When are the flag officers going to remember their oaths and refuse to play along with this charade any longer?Noteworthy Comment +10
Good thing being a community organizer has enabled this twit to make sound military decisions!
and to think Bin Ladin wanted to take him out so Goofey Joe would be the president, why? Barrys the Talibans best friend.+8
@Rando: "The way to win a war is to destroy the enemy, not to create a safe-haven for him. Think back-the U.S has made this mistake before."
Korean War – China
Vietnam – North Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos
Gulf I – Iran (Iraqi AF)
Afghanistan – Pakistan, Iran
Gulf II – Syria, Iran
It's not a mistake – it's our established strategy.+4
Just when you think it couldn't get any worse!! And, sadly like Roscoe points out, this is the direction our nation has been going since we fought and won World War II. When you realize how feminized the military has become, it is no wonder we are pulling up our skirts and running back to Mommy!!+4
Obama is the greatest thing to happen for Al-qaeda and their efforts to restore the caliph since ohh, edible panties for goats!+3
What Karzai wanted and agreed to was only his guarantee that he wouldn't be hunted down and killed like bin Ladin.+1
Exactly. This is a serious game. I can't imagine why we should play to lose.
Guess I'll never make it as a community organizer.+4
"one wonders whose side he is on…"
No need to wonder. It's obvious.+4
I knew he was up to no good over there. Wonder what other deals he's got in there for his muslim brothers.+5
Barry's entire terrorist policy can be summed up in one word….surrender!
Victory is NOT an option…surrender at any and all costs to the free world!
Our GREAT leaders, from Reagan on back, would beat this brother-fucker to death themselves if they could see what he's done to our standing in the world….
What a fucking douchebag…not only are we now not allowed to attack the terrorists where they live, we get to pay them to live there and not be attacked…+4
God Bless our Troops. Especially our Snipers. This idiot-in-chief should be drug tested then thrown into Leavenworth.+3
I can only imagine what havoc he will wreak as a lame-duck president come November.+2

The value of data mining to organizations gets a lot of press these days. However, in order to make the most from that data, you need the business practices in place to help you collect and manage that data. That's where Data Blueprint comes in, says Peter Aiken, Professor of Information Systems, Virginia Commonwealth University and author of 'The Case for the Chief Data Officer'.
So, what are the skills necessary for organizations to make the most of their data? Beyond standard data management skills, you also need individuals with strong communication skills and the abililty to see cross-organizationally (particularly mixing business and IT skills).
When it comes to the value industry can bring to the academic space, Peter suggests that students feel very empowered when they get industry experience. Resources are also useful, including those delivered by IBM at the EdCon conference prior to Information On Demand.
More on the IBM Academic Initiative
