Drake, Cobra, etc. : The Anti-Cabal Action Plan
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward

Here's the sort of thing the Cabal might get up to - and maybe soon
ET Disclosure in A Battle for Planet Earth: Whose agenda does that suit?
The Dark Cabal wants you to FEAR ET's and help FIGHT them
ET's are a threat to the Cabal, so they want you to battle them and help preserve their elite power.
The Cabal prefers to Disclose the ET presence in a Battle-for-Earth crisis
I think I can see where, in a worst case scenario, we may be headed in the Disclosure drama.
The ET's will arrive, and TPTB will want to fight them and their influence,
(Because the elites know, a key part of the "alien agenda" may be to free the people from the Cabal.)
So the Cabal shall then unleash their long-planned: "Alien false-flag invasion,"
complete with cabal controlled UFO flights, and maybe some high-profile destruction. This action which will be designed to pump up fear, and convince people to fall in line behind a Cabal-controlled military crackdown. They will try to manipulate people into thinking that we are involved in an all-out Battle to Save Earth. Instead, the real motive may be to create a distraction, and war psychology so that the elites will use the fear in an attempt to retain and expand their own power on this planet.
If the Cabal is successful, most humans will be fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the military, with the Cabal controlling the battle plans. Friendly or benevolent ETs will quickly identified as hostiles, and will never be given a chance to get their peaceful message across to the masses.
Just look at the Media, and many Scifi films over the last decade or two: V, Falling Skies, the Invasion of LA, Independence Day... and so on, and so on. The masses are being programmed to fear ETs and to see them as the enemy.
I reckon that the elites have used Remoting Viewing and other psychic tools to view their own future. And they have seen that their power is likely to disappear soon after the ETs arrive. But this elite plan is unlikely to succeed. Already, there is much evidence that the ETs are already working behind the scenes to remove them from power.
The planned false flag operation may involve attacks by Cabal-controlled UFO's on Earth targets, to make the real UFOs (controlled by benevolent ETs) look as if they are hostile. The genuine ETs will then have their hands full fighting Cabal-controlled UFOs, and will find themselves not greeted with the warmth by Earth's citizens, as they might have otherwise expected.
Those in-the-know about the long history of ET contacts and the real history of humans on thos planet will realise it is Cabal-controlled violence. But many others, who are less informed and living in fear may think that genuine ET's are hostile, and they will be motivated by fear, and distracted by the Cabal's military exercises.
I reckon this Battle-for-Planet-Earth scenario is one that ET's are eager to prevent. Perhaps this is why the ETs and EDs want to see the Cabal taken down before showing themselves.
Key Questions
Are we running out of time to get the Cabal to surrender first, so we can have a gentle and peaceful disclosure, after the elites step aside?
Will the ETs now have to show themselves, and dosplay their power, in order to force the Cabal out-of-power.
If they do forcefully dispose of the elites, will they raise the risk of a violent Battle-for-Earth scenario?
We may know the answer to these important questions in the days and weeks to come.

Christians moved by Stations of the Cross reenactment
Ernesto Romero, who portrays Jesus Christ, kneels in the middle of the street on Friday during a Way of the Cross procession in Nashua. (KIMBERLY HOUGHTON/Union Leader Correspondent)
Children watched, motorists waited and residents opened their doors to witness the awe-inspiring reenactment of the Via Crucis, Christ's walk to Calvary and his crucifixion.
Taking the Easter message to the streets, parishioners of St. Aloysius of Gonzaga Parish were not afraid to display their faith, publicly remembering the sacrifices made by Jesus so many lifetimes ago.
"Today we are here to remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ," Rev. Marcos Gonzalez-Torres told a large crowd gathered at the church, saying now is the time to reflect on Christ's ultimate sacrifice for the sins of mankind.
Ernesto Romero, 29, of Nashua, said it was his privilege to portray Jesus Christ in Friday's reenactment. "I feel so proud of this moment," he said prior to the Good Friday service. "Since I was little, I would watch the reenactments in Mexico. It is an honor to be a part of this and help represent Jesus' crucifixion."
Following a brief service inside of the church, the congregation flooded West Hollis Street and beyond for the annual procession, a popular Hispanic tradition of taking the Stations of the Cross to the streets at noontime.
Carrying a large wooden cross and wearing a crown of thorns, Romero slowly walked to the Stations of the Cross, followed by a large crowd of participants.
"There is so much emotion connected to this experience. I think this procession brings so much more to light during the Easter season," said Anna Townsend of Nashua. "It helps me to visualize the story of Jesus' death and what he went through in his final hours."
Dozens of people took time off from work to march in the procession, including twin sisters Mariana and Ana Espinal of Nashua, both 21. "We come here every year. It is an important tradition for us," said Mariana Espinal.
The siblings, who were born in Columbia and moved to the United States 13 years ago, said Good Friday was a vastly different experience growing up in another country. "In Columbia, Easter is more about God and his sacrifices, not about the Easter Bunny as it seems to be here," said Mariana Espinal.
Her sister agreed, saying Good Friday is the ideal opportunity to reflect on Christ's suffering and eventually his resurrection. The procession brings her peace during a time of uncertainty, Ana Espinal said.
Holy Thursday marked the beginning of the most sacred period in the church year known as the Triduum - Latin for "three days" - when many Catholics celebrate the Mass of the Last Supper. The ritual is followed by Good Friday and reaches its highest point during the Easter Vigil.
"The reenactment is so powerful," said MaryBeth Miller, who joined her friend, Carol McIntyre, to attend the event. Both women agreed there was no other place they would rather be on Good Friday than church.
Rev. Gonzalez-Torres reminded the congregation that his church has a reason for being housed in Nashua's Tree Streets neighborhood. Prior to taking the position at St. Aloysius, the priest said he researched the area and was frightened about the drugs, prostitution and crime that was reportedly prevalent in the Tree Streets.
"My fellow Christians, we cannot deny the reality of our neighborhood," he said. " . but we can extend hope."
Jesus came to the human world to transform it and make it new, according to Gonzalez-Torres, who stressed the procession is to remind others, complete strangers, that Christians are also called to make a difference in the world, not to walk away, ignore or destroy it.
"Jesus Christ is still working today in our neighborhood. Jesus Christ is still working today on the streets by transforming lives, touching lives," he said.
While much of the sermon was delivered in Spanish, even those people not familiar with the language were still touched by its message, according to those in attendance.
"Everybody needs something bigger than themselves to believe in, or else they are constantly searching to fill that hole. This is what it is all about. This is what fills that emptiness," Townsend said of Friday's procession.

The Balearic Islands region
Mallorca is the largest of the three main Balearic Islands and has been undergoing a wonderful revival over the last 25 years. The island has reestablished itself as a destination rich in culture and offers visitors a diverse choice of unspoilt beaches, bustling towns and breathtaking scenery. The tranquil inland areas have many beautiful areas with traditional old farmhouses carefully restored as holiday homes, ranging from contemporary villas to grand countryside retreats. These properties present the opportunity to enjoy the calming ambience of the island, with space for friends or families to experience a holiday at a property with its own grounds, swimming pool, and of course a high standard of accommodation. If its beaches you're after then the South side of the island can't be beaten; the heritage protected beach and salt lakes of Es Trenc could easily be mistaken for the Caribbean, and the bewildering array of smaller calas (beaches) along the coast line will leave any visitor to the island spoilt for choice. The cosmopolitan town of Santanyi with its bustling street markets, charming Cas Concos and conveniently located s'Horta each providing the basis for some of the finest villas on the island. In the North of the island, Pollenca, Campanet and Buger have the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range, with its myriad of little villages nestling between its peaks. Great cuisine is never far away, with each village or town offering many interesting and unique restaurants serving local sourced ingredients. As the secrets of Mallorca are slowly unravelled, so its popularity increases.
Pollença is without doubt one of the most attractive municipalities of the Island. It was one of the areas where tourism first started, being the preferred destination of painters and artists since the beginning of the century. Pollença is full of contrasts because a large part of the "Serra de Tramuntana" is situated within its municipality. With its steep mountains and its deep valleys, which in many cases end in most beautiful and lonely bays, where the blue of the sea merges with the grey of the limestone rocks and the brilliant green of the pine trees. Here the cultural and artistic life never stops. There are many art galleries and beautiful handicraft shops. Throughout the year one can enjoy a variety of musical events, the most famous of which takes place in the Santo Domingo Cloister between July and September. Apart from the old town, the municipality of Pollença is also home to two coastal towns, the Port Of Pollença and Cala San Vicente.

Novitzky suspected of creating list of drug users
Federal agent Jeff Novitzky has been widely criticized for what an appeals court ruled recently was an illegal search of the MLB testing records of approximately 100 players. But that probably wasn't his only transgression. Legal experts say Novitzky likely created the McCarthyesque list of players who reportedly flunked baseball's anonymous steroid testing in 2003.
Some believe Novitzky deserves thanks for his actions. Others would assign blame. Either way, codifying player's private medical records into a list that may have been distributed to as many as 200 people was probably illegal, experts say.
The loose-lipped lawyers, prosecutors, investigators or clerks who leaked the names of alleged drug-using players may also have committed a crime. But before Novitzky led the illegal search April 8, 2004, no list of players who had tested positive existed. Novitzky snatched a computer database and key that included all the results of the league-wide anonymous survey testing. The separately held key was designed to prevent lab techs and others from breaching privacy.
"This was just a spreadsheet," said Elliot Peters, an attorney representing the Major League baseball players' association. "The government created a list, which it tried to disseminate."
Peters said he believes Novitzky created the list, which in turn invited the criminal leaks. "I have a hard time not believing that once Novitzky put together the list, people in the government weren't chatting about who was on the list," Peters said.
MLB has contested the list's accuracy, claiming only 96 positive tests were recorded by the union in 2003, not the widely reported 104 positives. Both the Players Association and MLB have stated that 13 results were inconclusive, including that of Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz(notes), who The New York Times recently asserted had tested positive for steroids in 2003.
The next stage in the saga may not be about players who cheated but about lawyers, prosecutors or court officers who broke the law. Identifying suspects is likely where the federal agents assigned to this as yet unannounced investigation will begin.
This has nothing to do with the integrity of the game. It goes to the integrity of our federal justice system. If caught, the leakers likely would go to jail. Sacramento lawyer Troy Ellerman was sentenced to 30 months in jail for leaking sealed BALCO court files to the San Francisco Chronicle in 2004 and was released in January after serving 16 months.
"It's a pretty serious crime," Peters said. "Just about any federal judge would give a criminal defendant much more time for violating a court's sealing order than they would for someone using a steroid."
The players in the leaking game:
• Selena Roberts: The veteran Sports Illustrated reporter and author published the first leak in February with the blockbuster that Alex Rodriguez(notes) was among those who flunked the supposedly confidential 2003 test conducted to determine whether further drug testing would be warranted.
• Michael Schmidt: This June The Times reporter broke the story that Sammy Sosa(notes) was on the list. Then in late July he reported that Manny Ramirez(notes) and Ortiz had tested positive. Schmidt also declared in an interview with Editor and Publisher that he encouraged court officers to break federal laws: "Lawyers, clerks, assistants. Anyone from baseball to the players union to the federal government. Anyone who would have seen it."
That statement appeared to prompt the player's union into taking the unusual step of questioning The New York Times' role. "The leaking of information under a court seal is a crime," Player's Association president Donald Fehr told Editor and Publisher the day after Schmidt's interview. "That The Times is pursuing and publishing what it openly declares to be information which may not be legally disclosed is equally sad. We intend to take the appropriate legal steps to see that the court orders are enforced."
Reporters generally have significant latitude regarding freedom of speech. But Peters suggested that once a reporter asks sources to break the law to give him information, he or she can no longer shield the identity of that source from government investigations.
"If subpoenaed," Peters said. "The reporter has to give up that information."
• Those who have seen the list: Federal investigators, prosecutors and assistants, judges, law clerks, lawyers, paralegals, MLB players' union officials, MLB officials.
Many have assumed the likely suspects would be the prosecutors, Novitzky or a defense lawyer. But the pool of suspects significantly broadened when the case went to the Ninth Circuit appeals court.
Each of the 29 or so judges sitting on the Ninth circuit received a copy of the file, including the government's list. Each judge has four clerks, creating a pool of nearly 150. Then there are the three lower court federal judges. Each has two or three clerks, adding another 10 or so, not to mention the federal magistrates who heard the case, who with their assistants add another five, bringing the total to about 165.
Next are those who did the seizing: Novitzky and other IRS and federal agents. Prosecutors Jeffrey Nedrow, Matthew Parrella, Douglas Wilson and assistants and officials with the U.S. Attorneys offices. At least 25 federal prosecutors, investigators and assistants are likely to have viewed the list, bringing the number to roughly 190.
There are the law firms who have represented the player's union and testing laboratories. There are secondary lawyers, paralegals and assistants. Assuming at least 10 people per firm, the figure grows to about 210.
Finally, with the MLB player's union officials and MLB officials, it's hard to believe there weren't another 15 individuals, That would make a rough figure of about 225.
There are few more serious crimes to a federal judge than an officer of the court flagrantly breaking sealing orders. It's worth recalling what happened with the San Francisco Chronicle leaks in June and December of 2004. Only after the second wave of leaks did Judge Susan Illston ask for an investigation – ultimately handled by the U.S. Attorneys office out of Los Angeles. Pressure was applied to the reporters and they appeared to be headed to jail – until their source took the fall. The sentence imposed on Ellerman, who represented BALCO vice president James Valente, was by far the longest in the entire seven-year BALCO saga
At first glance, it appears these latest leaks could be harder to result in a criminal conviction. Two hundred suspects make it sound like trying to solve the Zodiac murders.
But this isn't only about the law. It's also about turf.
Judges don't believe reporters have the right to entice clerks, prosecutors, investigators or lawyers to break federal laws. Especially over articles about professional athletes who may have taken steroids six years ago.
"It strikes me by analogy that if you're pushing someone toward committing a crime by calling clerks with the specific intent of violating a court order that is aiding, and abetting, an invitation to a conspiracy charge," said Charles La Bella, a former U. S. attorney and former chief of the criminal division for the Southern District of California who now practices criminal defense law in San Diego.
"I'd be surprised if there wasn't an investigation."

Effective Contingency Plans The average Type 2 hand crew includes firefighters and When conducting a firing operation, whether on a pre- overhead that train together very little, and they spend most scribed fire or wildfire, have a good contingency plan that describes who will be responsible for what if things do not of the time they do have together engaged in tactical and go as planned, and follow through with mindful procedures fundamental firefighting training. This leaves little time to when the unexpected does happen. The Crew Boss must prepare personnel for the mental and physical stresses that conduct a thorough briefing on the contingency plan so come with fire assignments. Being away from family and that all individuals will understand their leader's intent and friends, as well as their normal lifestyle, puts crewmembers know what is expected of them ahead of time, instead of under stress. Combine this stress with the rigors of fighting scrambling to figure it out after the fact. When the crew has fire, as well as cohabitation with 20 strangers not used to a quality contingency plan and the Crew Boss briefs them one another's wants and needs, and you have the potential well, people can act quickly and decisively instead of with for a variety of problems. confusion, when the unexpected happens. Crew Orientation Photo courtesy of Steve Little, USFS Development of Leaders One Superintendent of a Type 1 Crew, specializing in fire leadership development for 21 years, feels their success comes from the crew members who complete the training program and continue their career, applying the skills they learned while on the crew. The Superintendent and overhead help provide mentoring and evaluations for their crewmembers while the crew serves as a national resource. To help crewmembers develop into leaders by the time they leave the crew, the crew's overhead first helps crewmembers learn what their individual strengths and weaknesses are. Sixteen or seventeen people pass through the program each year. Every crew member is given the opportunity to perform in leadership positions and to operate at the level they are comfortable with. Most Type 1 crews have at least seven or more full time overhead positions, ranging from superintendent to squad bosses, and trainees rotate through each of these positions. The individuals that come through the fire leadership development program hold other positions. They come to the training program for five months to serve in leadership roles after their home unit identifies them as having leadership potential. Trainees participate in an exit interview once the five month period is over. The crew provides the questions to the trainees at the start of training so they may think about them along the way. The exit interview helps the program obtain general feedback, including stumbling blocks that trainees encountered along the way; whether with group dynamics, being away from family, personality conflicts, or other matters. Along with the exit interview, trainees complete a homework assignment requiring them to address what the trainee feels it means to be a Hotshot, both as an individual and as a member of a team. 2 Difficult Challenges Managing a Positive Crew Atmosphere Twenty people working and living together represents a complex interconnected system, subject to many variables. These include personal ethics, physical ability and condition, and the type of fire assignment on which the crew is working. A Crew Boss can maintain performance and healthy relationships among crew members by maintaining a fairly constant tone, having an effective communication style, meeting expectations, making sure they do not let things slip, and giving meaningful praise when justified. Inconsistent behavior and actions from individuals in leadership positions quickly breaks down what a Crew Boss should be attempting to build. Consequently, the Crew Boss and overhead should maintain a positive atmosphere by acting consistently every day. Handling a Crew Medical Emergency Major medical issues are always difficult and cause stress, not only to those involved, but to the crew and the fire camp. One Type 2 Initial Attack (IA) crew had a medical incident that became their complete focus for two days. This particular incident in- volved extracting a stricken crewmember from a spike camp by a rescue helicopter. In a situation like this, the Crew Boss must quickly and efficiently deal with the fact that the emergency involves one of their crew personnel, and respond immediately. The Type 2 IA crew configuration allowed the crew boss to use the crew in effective modules. Having the extra overhead is vital to crew performance and well being during a major medical incident. The Crew Boss will need to have access to a complete Crew Boss kit, which includes a comprehensive roster of crewmembers, including their personal contact information; information that attending emergency medical technicians will request. Depending on the severity of the incident, the Crew Boss may need to focus on the sick or injured crewmember. If this is the case, and another Crew Boss or trainee is available, the Crew Boss should consider asking them to temporarily take command of the crew. This Crew Boss was fortunate to have another qualified Crew Boss on the crew, and was able to let them assume responsibil- ity for the crew during the medical incident. After answering questions from medical personnel and watching the crewmember airlifted from spike camp, the Crew Boss decided to leave spike camp to be present at the hospital to act on the crewmember's behalf. This Crew Boss advises others to talk to the Time and Medical Units in base camp to check on the proper forms to carry to the hospital. They also suggest getting the name and phone number of the Liaison Officer attached to their home region and enter- ing their phone number into the Crew Boss's cell phone contact list. If available, the Crew Boss should contact the Interagency Resource Representative (IARR). The most recent Incident Action Plan should also include a list of important names and phone numbers. If needed, the Crew Boss should make contact with their region's Liaison Officer to get help setting up return transportation for the crewmember, as well as any transportation needs they may have to return the entire crew home. This Crew Boss found that a cell phone proves essential in a situation like this, and recommends that if a Crew Boss does not currently carry one, that they try to get their home unit to provide one. They also recommend that, the Crew Boss regularly contacts both the home unit and the fire to which the crew is assigned, to keep everyone informed regarding the firefighter's condition. Furthermore, this Crew Boss reminds others that laws limit what information regarding the crewmember's health may be released without the crewmember's permission. They also recommend taking possession of the firefighter's wallet and other personal property. When doing this, write a simple statement documenting your acts and have someone witness it. Finally, the Crew Boss must document events and provide copies for all parties involved. Monitoring Wildfires for Multiple Days One Squad Boss found that monitoring a wildfire for seven days presented a difficult challenge for their crew. This assignment proved mentally challenging for crewmembers because of the lack of their customarily active fireline work. In order to overcome the challenge, the squad bosses reviewed topics in the Incident Response Pocket Guide (IRPG) with crewmembers and gave refreshers in GPS, Kestrel, and radio operations to the first year firefighters, who do not get the opportunity to use them very often. Developing Good Decision-Making Skills A Crew Boss has the important task of helping newer firefighters gain confidence about the decisions they make on the fireline. Quality training assignments can make such a difference for crew boss trainees. The crew's overhead can promote confidence in young firefighters, who are pursuing Crew Boss qualification, by allowing them enough freedom to make decisions during their trainee assignments. One experienced Crew Boss recommends that after a couple of crew boss trainee assignments within their own crew, detailing crew boss trainees to a different crew, with a trainer that they do not know, to complete their task book. This forces the trainee out of their comfort zone and circle of friends, allowing them to make decisions on their own. Maintaining Crew Boss Role One of the biggest challenges is separating oneself from the crew, realizing that the Crew Boss is no longer a crew member, but responsible for leading the crew. It is a delicate balancing act to operate as an umbrella, catching the information coming down from overhead and disseminating it to the crew, as well as taking the complaints and issues from the crew and transferring them up to overhead and ensuring that everyone is on the same page. The line separating a crew member's role from a Crew Boss' role is very important and always a challenge. 33 Building a Team from Individuals Building a cohesive unit out of new crew members every year presents a continu- al challenge. One crew's facility includes an aerial obstacle challenge course that aids in team building, where four to five crew members work as a team to com- plete the challenge course. In addition, the crew conducts other field exercises to establish rapport, trust and commu- nication skills. During these exercises, the crew breaks into groups of four and they work through simulated initial attacks. During crew training, the Crew Superintendent obtains feedback from members to determine their skills, tal- ents, and experience level. The exercises enable crewmembers to learn about one another. Learning each others' backgrounds improves trust and Aerial Obstacle Challenge Course Photo courtesy of Steve Little, USFS trainees begin to turn to one another for particular skills. If crewmembers do not communicate well, they will struggle. The crew always teaches and uses common terminology and descriptions, avoiding slang terms because they cause too much confusion. Effective Safety Practices Building Crew Cohesiveness According to one experienced Crew Boss, conducting After Action Reviews (AAR) represents an effective safety practice that also helps build crew cohesiveness. The crew holds a pre-shift Before Action Review, which is technically a briefing, and often a noon-time During Action Review. At the end of the operational period, they then hold a mandatory AAR. The crew requires each crewmember to speak during the briefing and AARs, expecting at minimum, an articulate compliment to an individual or particu- lar effort, or a safety or time saving suggestion. At times, when specific incident information has been addressed, the Crew Boss will put out a general discussion topic for the good of the group, such as "How are folks' feet doing?" or "Describe your personal hydration habits on the fireline." The discussion about boots, socks, blister prevention or hydration that follows, on the fireline, in the bus, or in camp, often triggers new ideas, dredges up old memories, creates camaraderie, and makes crew members feel more prepared to speak out. This is of paramount importance and is one way the crew builds cohesion. In 2009, one crew will assign a crewmember to act as safety monitor, changing every pay period, so that each crewmember gets a chance to step back and make observations from this perspective. This will help them to step outside the box and see how and why overhead makes the decisions they do. They will also access SafeNets, SafeComs and lessons learned to brief to the crew. The safety monitor assignments will help crewmembers learn to teach and train others, improving their communication skills. Posting Squad Lookouts Sometimes, even when the best safety practices are used, a crew finds itself working in a potential high-hazard area. One Crew Boss posts squad lookouts in hazardous areas as a mitigation measure. In these situations, the Crew Boss likes to first assess the situation to see if the assignment is still safe enough to undertake following standard safety practices. If it appears to be safe but the potential for problems exists, the Crew Boss has the three squad bosses, who are IC Type 5 qualified, assign a squad lookout. The crew primarily employs this practice during night operations. The squads rotate squad members through the lookout posi- tions to prevent the lookouts from becoming complacent. The crew does not use the ICT5s as the lookouts because they should be supervising the squad. The lookout assignments keep everyone's head in the game concerning safety, and provide the crewmembers with the chance to assume some additional responsibility. This seasoned Crew Boss encourages their peers to remember that if an assignment is truly unsafe, the Crew Boss has an obligation, not only to the crew, but to the entire fire orga- nization, to bring their safety concerns to the appropriate person's attention. Safety should never be an afterthought. Falling Operation Practices One Crew Boss recommends an effective safety practice for use during falling operations. While the sawyer sizes up the tree, crewmembers with radios stage on each end of a nearby trail or walkway, to ensure that no one unknowingly walks into the falling operation. As an additional safety measure, the sawyer also shuts the saw down after completing the face cut, prior to completing the back cut, in order to announce the back cut and where the tree will fall. 4 Enroute to an Assignment Photo courtesy of David Crary, National Park Service Looking Out for Each Other According to one Crew Boss, crewmembers looking out for one another represents the best safety practice a crew can use. This Crew Boss encourages firefighters, both new and experienced, to point out safety issues. They believe that complacency hurts crews all the time and that if crews can remind themselves of the little things, they will reduce the risk in the equation. In the morning briefings, the Crew Boss encourages the crewmembers to give input on the tactics and strategies planned for the day. This Crew Boss is not surprised that some of the best ideas come from firefighters out for the first time. This same Crew Boss, who often takes crews to Canada on wildfires, incorporates Lookouts, Anchor Points, Communications, Escape Routes and Safety Zones (LACES) while keeping a keen eye on his personnel. When several squads work on separate parts of the fire in the flat terrain, the Crew Boss is above the crew in a helicopter. From this vantage point, he can monitor work progress, order and direct water drops and most importantly act as a lookout to provide quick escape instructions to a squad. Ingraining the 10 and 18 Everyone in the Type 1 Leadership Develop- ment Crew program must know the 10 and 18. The Superintendent determines who knows the 10 and the 18 right from the first day when individuals arrive for orientation. During orien- tation, a trainer can have trainees take out a sheet of paper and ask them to write down the 10 and 18 and grade them. From that point on, the overhead will know who has the 10 and 18 committed to memory, and the trainees know exactly what overhead expects of them. One Crew Superintendent recommends that when giving feedback and critiques, the Crew Boss ask crewmembers to address the 10 and 18 by pointing out specifics in relation to assign- ments they have worked on. On some days, trainees realize that if they do not know the 10 and 18, they will feel it physically, as a team. This Crew Boss makes the entire team do Wrong Answer in Fire Jeopardy push-ups when someone messes up the 10 Photo courtesy of Steve Little, USFS and 18, which they believe increases team building and knowledge of fireline safety. 5 Gathering Knowledge from an In-Briefing One Crew Boss reminds their peers to obtain specific information on fuel types, fire behavior and local weather conditions and forecasts when going to a new location. This Crew Boss tries to get the same in-briefing that an IMT receives when they take a fire over, ideally obtaining it before arriving for the first day of the assignment. If trainees see the Crew Boss seek this information, they know what to look for themselves. This experienced Crew Boss looks for more than just the current weather forecast; they ask for information about the weather 4-5 months prior, as well as the previous few days. De- tails, such as the drought situation, rainfall over a given period, and the number of days since last rainfall, prove valuable as well. This Crew Boss also asks for information about logistics, the fire's location, the land- scape, and communications. While the Crew Boss realizes that time may not al- low for this detailed in-briefing to occur, when it does, the in-briefing proves invaluable. Reviewing Fuels and Weather Activity Courtesy of Steve Little, USFS Sand Tables and AARs One seasoned Crew Boss recommends AARs, conducted on a sand table, as a very effective practice. This Crew Boss al- ways carries the props or toys needed to use a sand table, including colored chalk, colored yarn for creeks and roads, and Legos for houses. If they find no sand table available, they construct their terrain model in the dirt. This practice helps crew- members visualize what is happening on the incident, and this Crew Boss finds that visual representations prove important in order to have a full picture. Work through the AAR chronologically, so that the crew can see where they started, where the fire was physically, and how the crew wound up at the point they did at the end of the operational period. The chronological approach, combined with visual cues allowed by the sand table, creates a more comprehensive AAR. When a Crew Boss feels they have been swamped for a few days in a row and that they need to revisit events, an AAR provides an opportunity to regroup. This Crew Boss recom- mends reminding crewmembers that they should discuss and understand what the concerns would be if they ever found themselves in a given situation again, and that they encourage crewmembers to learn to facilitate AARs by leading some of the crew's AARs themselves. AAR in the Rough Photo courtesy of Steve Little, USFS 6 Crew Training Recommendations Learning from Safety Grams One Crew Boss finds that repeatedly training on the basics proves very beneficial for Type 2 crews. This Crew Boss consid- ers a discussion of the previous year's Safety Gram a very important training tool. During the annual safety refresher, each attendee receives a hard copy of the Safety Gram and each line is read aloud and discussed. At the end of each page the at- tendees are asked "What are the accident trends on this page?" Using this method, the trainer can cover trends such as travel and vehicle related accidents, burnovers, shelter deployments, and a shifting pattern of accidents among primarily volunteer fire departments and state agencies during the spring, to mostly federal agency incidents in the summer and fall. Mental Preparedness for Assignments One Crew Boss recommends that, as a Crew Boss, one must believe in the standards for what "arduous duty" means, and how this relates to expectations for firefighters. This Crew Boss believes that the pack test provides a much better test of what a firefighter must be able to do physically, but believes that we must also test and train for mental ability as well. They recommend training on crew developmental skills that lead to self motivation, personal development, and other capacities. To accomplish this, crewmembers must open themselves up to the question, "What will both make me better, and make my crew better as well?" Teaching Mindfulness An experienced Crew Boss recommends establishing clear parameters and expectations for roles and responsibilities within a crew, right from the start, to provide a framework to improve mindfulness in crew operations. This provides individuals with flexibility and empowers them to enrich the crew's overall understanding of the environment, and increases their awareness of what is, and what might be, happening. For a crew to operate at peak efficiency, each crewmember needs to know their role. In addition, they need to understand their responsibility for constantly assessing their mindfulness of the situation. This includes discussing how they feel, and asking why they feel a certain way considering what the appropriate response is. This helps the crew achieve their assigned objectives while mitigating risk in the ever-changing fire environment. For one Crew Boss, the bottom line focus is on teaching people an intuitive thought process that uses existing tools, such as HRO, LCES, the Standard Fire Orders, and Risk Management into us- able processes in the field. They recommend starting by developing mindfulness as a way of think- ing as a way to help crews develop these capacities. Several tools exist to help individuals and crews develop their mindfulness skills including High Reli- ability Organizing (HRO) audits at http://www.wildfirelessons.net/HRO.aspx, leadership books, tacti- cal decision games, and both the Lessons Learned Center and Wildland Fire Leadership websites: www.wildfirelessons.net and http://www.fireleadership.gov/. Emphasizing Leadership According to one veteran Crew Boss, the entire training curriculum of the Wildland Fire Leadership Development program, including the L180, L280, and L380 classes are excellent for crews. The human factors content in this curriculum provides significant value that goes beyond the immediate requirements of a person's firefighting responsibilities. Human factors play a huge role in the decisions firefighters make on a daily basis and cannot be overlooked. Another knowledgeable crew leader believes that training people to lead and manage proves critical. According to this veteran, crew bosses sometimes find themselves focusing on tactics and strategies more than interpersonal communications and crew dynamics. The National Park Service Operational Leadership course provides an employee centered approach to managing risk and achieving excellence. To focus on human factors and leadership, this Crew Boss selects a book and has the crew members read a chapter of the book and relate the principles learned back to how they use them, or how they could use them in a normal work day. Each crew member can brief only one chapter per book. By the end of the summer, the crew will have gone through three to four books. The crew selects the reader by having crewmembers flip a coin once a week. Whoever loses on the coin flip has to read that week. The Crew Boss should read the entire book ahead of time to make sure nothing is missed by the crewmember who is leading the chapter discussion. 7 Task Book Evaluator Fire personnel need more training on serving as position task book evaluators. Task book evaluators need to understand the background behind the position task book system, the intent of the system, and how to provide honest feedback to a trainee. One Crew Boss noted, "I have seen hundreds of task books that have checkmarks placed but the only feedback the trainee received was 'good job', or 'you are not ready'." The Crew Boss created a task book attachment sheet because they felt the need to document the quality of the check-off. The nature of each training assignment is important during task book evaluation. For example, if a trainee has only worked on mop up for a single assignment, versus being on four to five small fires where they were involved in initial attack and the com- plete management of the fire, the experience they gain may be less diverse. The quality of the assignment they received goes hand-in-hand with the training and check off process. Quality may actually prove more important than either assignment length or the number of assignments. Fire Behavior Calculations An experienced Crew Boss believes that teaching crewmembers to use Appendix B-Fire Behavior, in the Fireline Handbook is important, because each crewmember needs to know how to predict the probability of ignition and obtain approximate rates of spread and flame lengths. This proves to be significant when the crew reports to a fire where no fire behavior analyst (FBAN) is available, especially during initial attack. According to this veteran, any person in a crew leadership role should be able to calculate fire behavior basics until an FBAN arrives. They believe that squad and crew bosses should not wait until they complete S390 Intermediate Fire Behavior to learn how to do basic fire behavior calculations. Unresolved Issues Solving Poor Transportation Issues Crew bosses, who have been around, know that they can find themselves dealing with inadequate transportation arrangements or drivers while on fire assignments. While the U.S. Forest Service has made improvements in this area, one Crew Boss be- lieves more must be done. For example, this Crew Boss observes that the fire organizations complete thorough bus inspections in some fire camps but not in others. The Crew Boss also had to personally remove incompetent drivers from crew transport vehicles. According to the Crew Boss, these individuals had no business driving fire crews around on a level road let alone mountainous terrain that required well-developed driving skills. In 2008, the brakes on one crew's transport bus caught fire on a minor grade because the driver exercised poor driving skills and abusive braking. Many crew bosses have had to devote a significant portion of time deciding whether the bus driver is competent enough to move the crew. Problems such as this could be addressed via higher driver standards and better record keeping on drivers. This vet- eran also suggests tighter restrictions on inspections, better accountability at the ground support unit, a mountainous terrain bus navigation training course, and a pool of names of prohibited drivers that can be shared between geographic area coordination centers. Crew Boss Meetings Needed A veteran Crew Boss recommends re-instituting the practice of holding Crew Boss meetings at the end of each operational period as a time to provide feedback to line overhead and the incident management team. According to this experienced crew supervisor, five to ten minutes between crew bosses and their respective line supervisor would prove beneficial. For newer crew bosses and engine captains, these meetings provide an opportunity to learn from the experiences of the day. Handling Off-Fire Duties Ensuring that the members of the squad are doing their respective jobs off the fireline remains an unresolved issue for some crew bosses. One crew used ten person modules, with two module leaders, a foreman, and a superintendent acting as over- head. At times, using this configuration, the span of control proved too large. Even though the span of control allowed only small oversights, high reliability principles tell us that each weak signal can add up to a big problem within an organization. The Crew Boss decided that three squad bosses provide better oversight and supervision during non-fire duties, providing a more effective span of control and more opportunity to detect weak signals of developing problems within the crew. Need Your Input . FUTURE OF WILDLAND FIRE SAFETY 2008 marked the 10th anniversary of the release of the Wildland Fire- fighter Safety Awareness (TriData) Phase 3 study. The TriData Phase Wildland Fire 3 report is available at http://www.nifc.gov/safety/phaseIII.htm. This was a landmark safety study for the interagency wildland fire community that helped shape fire management direction during the past decade. Sev- Lessons Learned eral of the NWCG Safety and Health Working Team (SHWT) projects and Center initiatives came out of this study as did the formation of the Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center (LLC). To recognize this landmark study, the SHWT and LLC would like your input on key recommendations that still need to be worked on to improve the safety culture of the interagency community and identify gaps in the TriData study recommenda- tions.

During National Kidney Month, Fresenius Medical Care Calls Attention To High Blood Pressure As A Leading Cause Of Kidney Disease
With high blood pressure now the second most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States (behind only diabetes), Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA) wants people to know that controlling their blood pressure can slow the progression of CKD, and help prevent heart disease and strokes in those who are on dialysis.
This March during National Kidney Month, FMCNA, the nation's leading network of dialysis facilities, is raising awareness about the widespread problem of high blood pressure, or hypertension, especially if left untreated. FMCNA also is calling attention to the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity for dialysis patients and those with hypertension by sponsoring a tour by Chef Aaron McCargo, Jr. and his kidney-friendly "flavor of bold" recipes. For more information about FMCNA's National Kidney Month recipes and activities, visit www.ultracare-dialysis.com/kidneymonth.
High blood pressure affects nearly one in three Americans, although many people don't realize they have it because of its lack of signs or symptoms. Typically the result of hardened blood vessels or too much fluid in the blood, high blood pressure causes the heart to work harder. Over time, it increases the risk of heart disease and stroke and can damage blood vessels throughout the body, including those used by the kidneys to remove waste and extra fluid. The resulting kidney damage can lead to CKD and eventually kidney failure, which may be treated with renal transplant or dialysis.
"Every year high blood pressure causes more than 32,000 new U.S. cases of kidney failure," says Dr. Dugan W. Maddux, vice president of chronic kidney disease initiatives at FMCNA. "Fortunately, high blood pressure can be treated through medication, nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle changes. Awareness is critical if we are to reduce kidney failure due to hypertension."Tips for Dialysis Patients with High Blood Pressure FMCNA recommends that people have their blood pressure tested. Dialysis patients with high blood pressure should work with their doctor and dialysis care team to develop a treatment plan, which may include:

The Lazio region
The region of Lazio, rich of culture and nature, is situated in the centre of Italy.
Hilly landscapes with olive- and vine cultivations and the lakes Bracciano and Bolzena characterizes the north of the region. The culturally heydays are the famous Etruscan excavation and the sulphur-wells, where you can spoil your skin under the open sky.
Rome is the culturally and economically center as well as the capital city of Italy, located directly in the heartland of Lazio.
Mountains are in the south, rising above 2000 meters; lower, heading the coast the gentle green slopes are overgrown with orange-and lemon trees and olive-and vine cultivations.
The coast is uneven, sandy beaches alternate rocky cliffs, suggestive little bays and hills are covered with Mediterranean spontaneous vegetation (macchia mediterranea).
Thousands of years of history signed the landscape, increasing the cultural value of this land: Excavations from the Roman and the pre-Roman time (Etruscan, Ausonia and Aurunci), medieval towns, monasteries and convents, make the stay in Lazio always an astonishing experience.
The region has many nature reserves and little protected oasis; very beautiful for short walks, hiking tours or trekking.
The Garigliano river natural park at the board with Campania offers multiple opportunities to come in contact with the lush river vegetation and the wild animals that inhabit along the banks.
Thermal springs are to find in the region of Viterbo, Tivoli and Fiuggi and in the south in Suio.
Located in the south of the region, The Pontine Islands join sensational nature, clear water, characteristic fisher towns and Roman culture. The main Island Ponza is also called pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The food and wine tradition might deserve its own chapter: fish and seafood on the coast; rustically cuisine in the countryside (meat and sausage, cheese and a lot of different vegetables), buffalo mozzarella, and olives of Gaeta are only some examples.
Lots of tasty and important wines are available for experts and curious tasters, thanks to the unique warm weather and the composition of the soil.
The area between south of Lazio and northern Campania, named Campania Felix by the ancient Roman, produces since centuries a particular wine, called Falernus, one of the many wine excellence of the area.
Formia is located in the south of the Latium at the gorgeous Gulf of Gaeta. The Gulf of Gaeta is surrounded by the gigantically mountain range of the Aurunci Mountains. They rise in a height of 1500 meters, the foothills stretch to the sea. Therefore, the coast is very rough: long sandy beaches, small bas and steep coasts. In this area, the climate is Mediterranean and very mild throughout the year. The average temperature is about 14, 6 degrees in the winter months. The typical vegetations are olive trees, lemon- and orange trees, fig trees and palms. Gaeta's olives are very famous in this area.
Formia is also the commercial centre of the Gulf. The Via Vitruvio in the centre and large shopping centers invite for shopping.
You are welcome in medieval old towns with small alleys and steps, old churches, small mountain villages and ruins from the antique Roman- and pre-Roman times. Among other things you can visit the Villa Marmurra in Formia and the ruins of the Roman town Minturnae with the amphitheatre in Minturno.
There are lots of activities for friends of nature and long walks. Two nature reserves are nearby: the Aurunci Mountains with well-marked footpaths and the nature reserve Riviera di Ulisse where culture meets nature.
Enjoy the Mediterranean charm: during walks, at the fish marked, with a good Italian ice-cream or with a romantic dinner in ones of the genuine restaurants.
Formia is also an optimal starting point for daily trips to the cities Rome, Naples, Pompeii, and Caserta, the islands, the mountains, the archaeological excavations, monasteries, converts and Roman bathing.
Spare time in Formia:
- swimming, surfing and surfing curses, windsurfing, cite surfing, water skiing, lending out pedal boats, snorkelling in the nature reserve, fishing, rollerblading, mountain biking, climbing, playing tennis and horse riding
-walking in the nature reserve Riviera di Ulisse with visitation of the ruins of the Roman Villa Mamurra (large cistern, little cistern and the grotto of Janara)
-bars (pubs), genuine restaurants and pizzerias
-big weekly-marked: on Thursday in the Via Olivastro Spaventola
-fresh fish is available at the market in the town centre
-touristic boat trips

Life is imitating art for Anna Faris – the actress gave birth to her first child in August and now, she's set to play a mom on the small screen.
The 36–year-old funny gal, best known for her roles in "The Dictator," "The House Bunny," "Just Friends" and the "Scary Movie" franchise, has nabbed the starring role in Chuck Lorre's upcoming CBS comedy pilot, "Mom," according to TV Line.
The multi-camera sitcom will center around Faris as a "newly sober single mom" who (perhaps not-so-wisely) chooses California's wine shrine Napa Valley as her home, the website reported.
Lorre (co-creator/co-showrunner of "Two and a Half Men") co-wrote the new show with "… Men" alumni Gemma Baker and Eddie Gorodetsky.
In addition to "Mom," Faris will soon be seen on the big screen in the upcoming rom-com "I Give It A Year," alongside "The Mentalist" star Simon Baker, Rose Byrne and Minnie Driver.
The actress married "Parks and Recreation" star Chris Pratt in 2009, and the couple welcomed son Jack on August 25.

One of the most amazing things about the body human is its ability to heal itself. Left to their own devices, a large percentage of human ailments are self eliminating. That means if you leave them alone they will go away.
This does not mean to ignore doctors but to have faith in your body. The doctor can provide medicine to help ease the symptoms and speed up the process but in th end your body cures itself. Sometimes, the medicines actually slow down the healing process. If you have a copugh, it is often your body trying to clear congestion frokm your lungs. Taking cough medicine will stop the cough but it will also delay the clearing of your lungs.
Listen to your body. Share your body's messages with your doctor. Follow the directions to speed up the healing process
We can throw stones,
complain about them,
stumble on them,
climb over them,
or build with them.
William Arthur Ward
Do something for somebody every day for which you don't get paid.
- Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, musicologist, doctor

~Earl Nightingale
The greatest inv3ention for those of us keeping an eye on the pounds is the 100 calorie pack. Doctors and scientists tell us that we eat the first two bites of an item for the taste and the rest of it because it isn't gone. By buying the 100 calorie pack, you can satisfy a craving for chocolate or sugar or whatever without spoiling the afternoon by eating the whole 500 calorie candy bar.

Rising sales of smartphones and tablets boosted profit at touchscreen chipmakers Cypress Semiconductor and Synaptics Inc even as their traditionally strong PC market continued to slow down.
Cypress Semiconductor gave a blowout forecast for the current quarter as it expects its touchscreen business to double in 2011.
Technology firms such as LG Electronics are moving toward adopting the Linux-based MeeGo operating system after Nokia abandoned it, one of the project's leaders said.
Open-source MeeGo was created last year by the merger of Nokia and Intel's Linux-based platforms, but Nokia pulled back from the project in February when the Finnish firm said it would focus on Microsoft software instead.
Multi-service Carrier Ethernet access and demarcation solutions provider Telco Systems announced Wednesday that it has acquired the major assets and intellectual property of ANDA Networks in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition allows the company to offer a complete range of Carrier Ethernet access, edge, aggregation and mobile backhaul solutions.
ANDA is a provider of Carrier Class Ethernet and wireless backhaul platforms that deliver cost-effective MEF-certified Metro Ethernet services over fiber, copper and wireless backhaul networks.
AT&T Inc survived the loss of its exclusive U.S. rights to sell the Apple Inc iPhone.
The No. 2 U.S. mobile service provider, which is planning to buy T-Mobile USA, eked out a slight increase in subscribers in the first quarter, surprising Wall Street, though some analysts said the growth came at too high a cost.
Its net addition of 62,000 contract customers in the quarter was much weaker than its fourth-quarter growth of 400,000 but better than the loss of 83,000 customers expected, on average, by seven analysts polled by Reuters.
Bright House Networks, the sixth largest owner and operator of cable systems in the U.S., announced today that it has deployed the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers as its Carrier Ethernet platform to deliver enhanced video, data, voice and mobile backhaul services throughout its converged network.
MegaFon is building a country-wide IP mobile backhaul network to reduce costs, increase network capacity and ensure smooth migration from legacy technology to an all-IP transport platform. The operator has signed up Nokia Siemens Networks in one of Russia's most significant systems integrator deals.
Cellphone maker Sony Ericsson is suffering component shortages following the Japanese earthquake and has roped in its bigger parents to give it more muscle in the fight for supplies with bigger rivals.
Chief Executive Bert Nordberg said there were shortages of displays, batteries, camera modules and some printed circuit boards due to the March 11 quake, adding the problem was stabilizing but would definitely have a bigger impact in the second quarter.
Ericsson today entered an agreement to acquire Telenor Connexion's M2M (machine-to-machine) technology platform. The acquisition follows Ericsson's ambition to drive the market for M2M communication, adding valuable technology and know-how from eleven employees that will be transferred as part of the deal.
Telenor Connexion is wholly owned by Telenor Group, one of the world's major mobile operators with 203 million mobile subscribers.
Sprint today unveiled several progressive initiatives building on Sprint's environmental work in the wireless industry, including upcoming availability of the Samsung Replenish from Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile). Samsung Replenish, an Android touch QWERTY smartphone enabled with Sprint ID, will be available on May 8 for $49.99 with a two-year service agreement and new-line activation or eligible upgrade.
Mobile operators AT&T and Sprint have recently struck deals with cellular embedded module vendors to provide modules for M2M (machine-to-machine) application developer partners at discounted rates. Their goal is to encourage app developers to embrace 3G -- and now 4G -- M2M modules.

Pack guide books... a bottle of sunblock lotion (if you're visiting in the summer!)... and toiletries. These items are all relatively expensive in Hongkong compared to the U.S.A. and Europe. :-(
However, DON'T PACK camera film... video film... audio tapes... and batteries... because they are ALL bargains in Hongkong!

Want to have a unique "photo" of yourself "taken?" Instead of settling for a selfie or rushing to the nearest photobooth, look for the amazing Face-o-Mat and have a one-of-a-kind portrait made in three minutes! Find out more after the jump!
Part photobooth, part portraiture, part sketching, and part performance art, the Face-o-Mat does what its name suggests: renders a sitter's face in three minutes. However, instead of a strict likeness, the "machine" by Swiss artist Tobias Gutmann churns out something that either resembles the sitter or looks totally different.
You see, the Face-o-Mat is actually a portable setup wherein Gutmann sits on one end of the machine with his pens, paper, and other drawing tools, while people sit on the other side. After completing a squiggly portrait (a bit reminiscent of Keith Haring 's style) in three minutes, Gutmann feeds the finished product into a slot, which churns it out towards the sitter.
The Face-o-Mat has traveled 40,514 km from Europe to Africa and Asia, and has made more than 700 awesome portraits.
Watch the whole process unfold in the video below:
