SKU: roh_kenta_go_2_sleep_dvd
The innovator of the Go 2 Sleep, a multi-time GHC champion in both the Junior Heavyweight Singles & Tag Divisions, one of the hardest-hitting individuals to ever enter the ROH ring, he is KENTA! Coming to Ring of Honor from Pro Wrestling NOAH on the heels of the historic Kobashi vs. Samoa Joe contest, KENTA immediately established himself as a force to be reckoned with in his GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title affair against Low Ki. With his crisp chops, vicious kicks, and lightning fast reflexes, KENTA was right at home in Ring of Honor, and it was those attributes that lead to his domination of ROH in 2006, culminating in the epic ROH World Title bout with Bryan Danielson. Whether it be Austin Aries, Rocky Romero, or Samoa Joe, nearly every one in ROH went toe-to-toe with KENTA and had the scars to prove it. This 15 match collection showcases the phenomenal athletic ability of KENTA as he takes on his protege Davey Richards, challenges for the ROH World Title against both Bryan Danielson & Nigel McGuinness, collides with the legendary Mitsuharu Misawa, goes head-to-head with Tyler Black, and a great deal more. One of the finest junior heavyweights in the wrestling world, KENTA has made a name for himself putting his opponents down with one simple thing: Go 2 Sleep! Disc 1

Kelly BA et al. – Antenatal glucocorticoid exposure in preterm infants is associated with increased aortic arch stiffness and altered glucose metabolism in early adulthood.
Methods- One hundred and two young adults born preterm aged 23 to 28 years, with prospective data collection from birth, and 95 adults born term after uncomplicated pregnancies underwent cardiovascular MRI.
- The authors compared cardiac and aortic structure and function, as well as cardiovascular risk profile, in a nested case-control study of 16 participants exposed to antenatal steroids and 32 who were not, but with otherwise similar perinatal care.
- Outcomes were compared with normal ranges in those born term.
- Adults whose mothers had received antenatal steroids had decreased ascending aortic distensibility and increased aortic arch pulse wave velocity.
- The increase in stiffness was equivalent to that of term adults a decade older.
- Those who had in utero exposure to antenatal steroids also had significant differences in homeostatic model assessments for beta-cell function (P = .010), but in multiple regression analysis this did not explain the impact of steroids on aortic function.

Health Information
Healthy Eating: Taking Calcium and Vitamin D
Bone thinning occurs as part of the natural process of aging. If the thinning continues to the point that your bones become fragile and in danger of breaking, you have osteoporosis. But osteoporosis is considered a preventable disease.
- After age 30, men and women naturally begin to lose bone mass. You can slow bone loss and possibly prevent osteoporosis by eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D .
- Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is especially critical for women in the first few years after menopause , when bone mass is lost more rapidly.
- If you do not get enough calcium and vitamin D from the foods you eat, change your diet and/or take calcium and vitamin D supplements. Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium.
- If you are diagnosed with osteoporosis, it's important to get enough calcium and vitamin D and take prescribed medicine for the disease.
- Calcium is found in many foods, including dairy products such as milk, cheese, or yogurt, fortified orange juice, and many vegetables.
How To
Many foods contain high amounts of calcium. It is important that you also get enough vitamin D along with calcium to help your body absorb the calcium.
Calcium is in foods such as milk, cheese, and yogurt. Vegetables like broccoli, kale, and Chinese cabbage have calcium. You can get calcium if you eat the soft edible bones in canned sardines and canned salmon. Foods with added (fortified) calcium include some cereals, juices, soy drinks, and tofu. The food label will show how much calcium was added.
Vitamin D is in foods such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel. These are some of the best foods to eat when trying to get more vitamin D. Other foods with vitamin D, but in small amounts, include cheese, egg yolks, and beef liver. You can also get vitamin D from fortified foods such as milk and some cereals, orange juices, yogurts, margarines, and soy drinks.
For example, a good source of calcium is fat-free milk fortified with vitamin D. Four cups a day provide about 1,200 mg of calcium. Other good sources of calcium include shrimp, blackstrap molasses, calcium-fortified tofu, and almonds.
Everyone who has been diagnosed with osteoporosis should try to eat a diet rich in these nutrients. People who do not get enough calcium from their diet may need to take a calcium supplement with vitamin D.
Types of calcium supplements include:
- Calcium carbonate, which is 40% elemental calcium.
- Calcium citrate, which is 21% elemental calcium. While lower in elemental calcium than calcium carbonate, calcium citrate is easier to digest and does not cause constipation as much as other types of calcium supplements.
- Calcium gluconate and calcium lactate, which contain a low amount of elemental calcium.
You can get calcium supplements at most grocery stores and pharmacies. They come in tablets, chewables, and capsules. Not all supplements contain the same amount of calcium or contain vitamin D, so read the label to see which one is best for you.
Consider how much calcium and vitamin D you normally get in your diet. Then each day take the number of tablets that satisfies your daily recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D based on your age and health condition. Be careful not to take more than you need.

Remember that saying "First impressions are lasting impressions"? Well, it is true. When we first meet someone, we only have a few seconds to make an impression–so let's make it a good one. Scent, hair, nails, and wardrobe can make or break the lasting impression you leave. Follow these tips to make a good, strong first impression.
- Do be calm and at ease. People can sense if you are tense or uncomfortable. So even if you feel anxious or nervous, take a deep breathe and give yourself a positive affirmation.
- Do smile. There is no better way to attract people than to look like you are enjoying yourself.
- Don't give a 'fishy' handshake. Make sure your hands are dry and firm, not moist and soft when you shake hands.
- Don't skip the shower. Grooming is important in making a good first impression. Make sure to cover all the bases. Make sure you smell good, and be aware of how your breath smells. Give attention to your hair and nails. Make sure that you wear appropriate flattering clothes. Shower, hair, nails, and wardrobe can make or break your image.
- Do pay attention. In conversation, make sure to listen to what others are saying and offer genuine responses. People will feel that you care about what they are saying, and in return they will offer you the same respect.
- Don't be negative. People are attracted to positivity. Nobody wants to hear you complain about traffic, your coworkers, or your mother-in-law. Here the old rule applies: "If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all."
- Do feel great about yourself. Approach all social situations with confidence. Know that you are an asset, and a great person to get to know.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Whenever I review a pair of Bose headphones, I tend to compare them with another device that that offers similar performance for less money. In the case of Bose's
Design and features
The "i" in the HD 238i refers to its smartphone-friendly features like a microphone and an Apple iOS-friendly inline remote. In my experience, the track navigation only works with Android smartphones, and the track navigation and volume control features may not operate with some models.
These headphones are slightly bigger than their Bose competitors and the earpads aren't quite as plush, but they're decently light and almost as comfortable as the Bose headphones over long periods of wear.
The build quality feels solid to the touch as well, and while these guys do fold flat for storage (a simple canvas carrying case is included), they don't fold into a more compact form factor like the Bose or Sennheiser's own
If you're comparing this with the PX100-Iii, this model has bigger earcups with more padding -- the PX 100-IIi headphones feature simple foam pads like you'd find on a generic model. Also the PX 100-IIi has an open-back design that tends to leak more sound than this model, which features a closed supra-aural design.

Action Pack
The Britney Spears Sing-Along Dance Party
Director | The Action Pack |
Year | 2014 |
Starring | Britney Spears |
Run Time | 120min |
There will NEVER be another Britney, bitch!
And there will probably never be another pop star that lets you say the word "bitch" as much as she does, either. That's not saying that SHE's a bitch, by the way. Not at all! She's just totally and completely owned that word with everything that she's done in the past few years, and it's so awesome.
So to celebrate the release of her latest album, and also just to celebrate the fact that she's been making us dance and sing and love life for 14 years, the Action Pack is throwing this special party in Brit's honor.
Our DJs will be spinning all the best from Ms. Spears' complete video catalog, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to Scream & Shout, but you'll also get to remember that special time in your life when you were no longer a girl, but you weren't quite a woman, either. Then we'll dance until the world ends, and we won't be sorry when oops, we do it again right after that.
So if you're ready to work, bitch, you're not going to want to miss this party!

Did NBC just link to my blog as a "do this, not that" for proposing to Ryan Braun? Oh yes. http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2011/04/25/brewers-fan-flashes-her-phone-number-on-national-tv-somehow-this-backfires-video/related. I am sort of super hyper/super excited right now and I think I should be on Good Morning America as an expert or something. Just too bad that I had approximately 0 hours of sleep + strange hair in the photo, if that is going to be my claim to fame.
Anyhow. My blood pressure is lowering and I'm am now recollecting that I was at a Little League game a few hours ago and my brother's coaches always seem to pin him as a closer. It was a save situation today that got even closer before we finally won. The phrase, "Rays Baseball: Torture!" comes to mind.
This team does have some pretty snazzy defense, though, and they are so much easier on the eyes when it comes to that than the Giants. Okay. Wow. I just got the greatest idea for a movie: It's like Freaky Friday except it's 12 Little Leaguers who get transported into the bodies on MLBers and vice versa. That would so great. And in this case, I think the Giants would do better with these little guys playin' for them. That is © 2011, by the way. If you are a Hollywood big shot (getting carried away, am I?) and you want to make this, you gotta ask me and put a Meet Hayden Christensen clause in the contract.
The song quote that is stubbornly stuck in my head today is "you can go anywhere you wish/'cause I'll be there, wherever you are" (from Technicolor Phase) and so I'm trying to overcome my groupie tendencies and not follow the Giants to PNC Park. Even though I've always wanted to go there. Tell me this is a bad idea. Thanks.
Aaaand that's a wrap on my disjointed thoughts on an off day. Sweet dreams.

Brooks Trance 10
The Trance is a shoe that is classified by Brooks as their flagship support trainer with the most bells and whistles of any model in their support category. Yet the shoe at times seemed a bit lost. Yes it sold, but not nearly as well as the Adrenaline or the Beast which are industry leaders in their class. Customers know what to expect from these models every year and Brooks not only meets but exceeds these expectations. The Trance on the other hand seemed to be heading in a slightly different direction with each new model update. Brooks tried for years to establish the Trance with its own identity, yet it never really was a consistent story. The annual change of direction never allowed the model to gain much traction in the industry. The vision started to sharpen with the current Trance 9 and it now appears Brooks has a very clear direction for the shoe. With the new Brooks Trance 10, your search for a high end Adrenaline has been found.

Almay At-A-Glance
Strengths: An excellent assortment of mascaras; several exceptional foundation options to choose from; a phenomenal liquid eyeliner; a selection of good makeup removers.
Weaknesses: Some of the Intense i-color products do the exact opposite of enhancing eye color; mediocre blushes; "Smart Shade" products don't automatically adapt to skin's color as claimed.
Long a standby for those with sensitive skin seeking hypoallergenic products (though that term is unregulated and can be applied to any product, regardless of ingredients), Almay continues to refine its comprehensive makeup line. In early 2006 the company repackaged its old favorites, and also relaunched several new makeup items. Everything now has a sleek new look and color-coded packaging. We admit, the makeover is effective, not just product-wise but visually too.
Shopping this drugstore line is now much easier because of the clearly defined product and color family groupings. Lamentably, testers and trial sizes of the makeup are still scarce regardless of where you shop. Almay has always been a reliable line for foundations, powder, and mascara. Within its current lineup you'll find that remains true. Their foundations are better than ever, and still offer full, broad-spectrum sun protection and a mostly neutral palette. We also found their concealers and mascaras have improved, as have the pencil options. When it comes to shopping for makeup staples with state-of-the-art formulas, Almay has many winners, and some innovative surprises that its competitors would be wise to learn from.
For more information about Almay, owned by Revlon, call (800) 992-5629 or visit www.almay.com.

Keep in mind, this is all my own personal opinion. I reserve the right to be wrong about some things. And please post any insights that you have gained while playing with your wave 2 ships. But here is what I have found so far:
With wave 1, the top Rebel squad was a 4 ship build, with usually 1 top pilot (often named Wedge), and 3 level 2 pilots. For the Imperials, the top squads were 6+ TIE swarms (yes, I know your 4 ship TIE Advanced build is undefeated, but I'm speaking in general terms), and there were many varieties of successful TIE swarms.
From what I've seen on the boards, Rebel squads are tending to go in 2 directions; 3 ship X-wing builds, with high pilot skills and lots of upgrades, or 4 ship builds with A-wings with missiles. Another option is 3 ship builds with a YT, which may prove to be more effective than people think. Imperial squads are tending towards 5 ship builds, with 2 interceptors being the norm. Both factions are now getting away from lots of lower pilot skills and moving towards fewer ship builds with higher pilot skills. From what I've seen, this is where the game is moving. Not that the old squads are necessarily bad now, but these more streamlined squads are going to fare better in tournaments. I also think that more games will end before time gets called due to the lower ship counts on the board, especially in Imp vs Imp games.
With Wave 2, we now have the Boost action, which does change the game. Now a ship that was in your line of fire can boost out of it by taking the boost action. So now you need to have multiple firing acs covered, so that you can still get an attack against a ship that has boosted out of one of your ships firing arcs. Or more importantly, deter him from boosting, and make him take another, more defensive action, like focus instead. I think this is an important point that people haven't really considered as of yet, which is understandable due to the relatively few wave 2 ships that are out there. As an Imperial player, covering multiple firing arcs is difficult, because it takes away squad cohesion in favor of spreading out to cover areas. For Rebel players, the YT will solve this problem quite easily by itself.
We also now have Stealth Device. The good thing about Stealth device is that it's cheap, 3 points for an extra agility die, which can be added to any ship. The bad thing about Stealth Device is it's expensive, it only comes with the $30 Firespray, so getting 5 or more will cost you. You do get 2 of them with the Firespray, which is nice, but still, they will be pricey to obtain. Stealth Device now makes ships with a 3 agility into a 4 agility. I believe this changes the game as well, because having 2 attack dice just isn't going to cut it against 4 or more defense dice (add Range 3 through an obstacle, and you're rolling 6 defense dice, which has happened in games I've played.) You will need a ship with at least 3 attack dice to strip away Stealth device, so that your other ships with 2 attack dice can have a better chance of hitting once the Stealth Device is gone. I predict nearly every squad will have at least 1 ship with Stealth Device. My Dark Curse with Stealth Device hasn't taken a hit yet in the 5 games I've played with him.
We also now have Assault Missiles. I know there was much ballyhoo when this was announced, but I think clearer heads have prevailed. I have used Assault Missiles twice, and have failed to hit both times. I don't think this will be quite as game-changing as people originally thought. It seems that Homing Missiles are a better choice due to not having to spend your target lock to use them.
Then we have the large ships. No, there will not be anything produced that will be bigger than the YT-1300 and the Firespray, so please stop calling them medium ships. I think even if there is an Imperial shuttle produced, that it will have the same base size as the YT/Firespray. In my own experience, I haven't been able to successfully play the Firespray effectively. I've tried, believe me, but the most effective use of the Firespray is through its front firing arc at range 2-3, which usually will only happen once or maybe twice per game before it gets destroyed. To me, I'd rather use the points on other things, as the smaller ships fit my playstyle better. The YT has a 360 firing arc, which makes it a better ship than the firespray, IMO. There are many times when a firespray won't have an attack, but the YT will, and that's a big difference, especially at Range 1. The YT pilot's abilities are more squad-based, specifically Lando and Chewie with Draw Their Fire, than the Firespray pilots. And to me, this game is more about squad cohesion than one big, beefy attacker.
Oh, and I can't talk about Wave 2 without complaining about the A-wing. Eight green maneuvers is just plain broken. The ship only has 16 maneuvers, and having half of them be green is just plain wrong. A TIE fighter, TIE Advanced, Xwing, YT, and Firespray all have 4, Ywing only has 2. The Interceptor has 7, which I'm fine with reducing if we're going to reduce the Awing's. IMO, both the Awing and Interceptor should have 5 green maneuvers for balance. I'd say 2 straight, 2 banks, 3 straight, and 4 straight should be it for both the Awing and Interceptor for green maneuvers, but I didn't design this game.
That's about all I can think of for now. If I think of more I'll post them.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

NYPD facing new oversight?
Peter Vallone, chairman of the New York City Councila**s Public Safety
Committee, said after an Oct. 7 hearing over the New York Police
Departmenta**s (NYPD) intelligence and counterterrorism operations,
that "That portion of the police department's work should probably be
looked at by a federal monitor.a** The hearing was prompted by a
series of investigative reports by AP reporters Adam Goldman and Matt
Apuzzo beginning August 24. Following media reports from AP cite
Congress and Obama administration officials as saying that they have
no authority to monitor NYPD. The NYPD has served as a leader in new
counterterrorism approaches, and now is facing growing concern over
its activities.
The New York Police Department established its Counter-terrorism
Bureau and revamped its Intelligence Division in response to the Sept.
11, 2001 attacks. Their methods have gone largely unchallenged and
have been generally popular with New Yorkers in taking on one major
mission: do not let those attacks happen again. Preventing terrorist
attacks requires a much different model than arresting individuals
responsible for such attacks. That much is obvious. What is not, and
the way in which the NYPD has maintained a careful balance, is
following the law and maintaining civil liberties while finding and
stopping budding terrorists. Wording needs to be reworked here -
almost sounds like defending NYPD that they have found a proper
Since the August 24 AP report that detailed a**coverta** activities
targeting muslim areas of New York, followed by an Aug. 31 publication
of what appears to be a leaked NYPD powerpoint detailing the
Intelligence Divisiona**s Demographics Unit, criticism of the program
has reached a new level. Members of the City Council expressed concern
that their constituents were being unjustly monitored. Six New York
State Senators asked the state Attorney General to investigate the
possibility of "unlawful covert surveillance operations of the Muslim
community." A group of civil rights lawyers asked the Federal
District Court Judge in Manhattan Oct. 4 to force the NYPD to
publicize any records of such a program, and also a court order to
retain any records of such activities. Two U.S. Congressman, Reps.
Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., and Rush Holt, D-N.J, in response to the AP
investigation, have asked the Justice Department to investigate.
Knowledge of aggressive and preventive activities by NYPDa**s
Intelligence Division and Counter-Terrorism Bureau are nothing new.
STRATFOR has written about them since 2004, and a few books on the
subject have been published. Criticism of the departmenta**s are not
new either, various civil liberties groups have criticized the methods
instituted after 9/11, and Leonard Levitt (who also helped the AP
investigation) has long been critical of the NYPD and its Commissioner
Ray Kelly (see nypdconfidential.com). But for a long time, New Yorkers
trusted that Kelly and the NYPD were doing the right thing. Kelly was
seen as someone who should not be criticized, unless you wanted to
risk your political career. These new calls for oversight, and the
growing controversy over NYPDa**s activities indicate that a decade or
so after the September 11 attacks, it now faces the likelihood of new
oversight mechanisms and judicial review.
Americans are culturally resistant to domestic law enforcement that
they see as a**spying,a** Maybe put in here an example of why they are
culturally resistant - b/c of J. Edgar Hoover and his investigations
in the 50's and 60's - although you said you are already over budget
so just a thought and while there is always a careful balance between
security and civil rights, that balance is now turning towards
a**civil rightsa** in New York City. But the activities of the NYPD
are also much more nuanced than the media coverage lets on. This
report aims to provide context for intelligence activities in a
counterterrorism and crime prevention context, as well as examining
what new oversight for the NYPD might mean.
New York and the Terrorist threat
While <September 11 had an effect on the world, and US foreign policy>
[LINK: http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20110905-911-and-successful-war]
it goes without saying that it had an overwhelming effect on the City
itself. New Yorkers were willing to do whatever it took to make sure
such an attack did not happen again, and when Ray Kelly was appointed
commissioner [maybe put the date he was appointed in - 2002], he
advertised this as his prerogative (his critics will chalk this up to
ego and hubris). This meant revamping counterterrorism and moving to
an intelligence-based model of prevention, rather than one based on
prosecution [LINK, Stick, is there one about this thata**s not based
on NYPD as an example?].
The Intelligence Division existed prior to 9/11. It was known for
driving VIPs around New Yorka**one of the most popular destinations
for foreign dignitaries and one that becomes very busy during the UN
General Assembly. It also faced restrictions- a 1985 court order known
as the Handschu Guidelines required the NYPD to submit a**specific
informationa** of criminal activity to a panel for approval to monitor
political activity. When David Cohen, a former CIA analyst, was
brought in to run the Intelligence Division, he went in front of the
same U.S. District Court Judge- Charles S. Haight Jr.- who lawyers saw
on Oct. 3 to get the guidelines modified. Haight modified them twice
in 2002 and 2003 and the result gave the unit much more leeway to
monitor the city and look for developing threats.
The Counter-terrorism Bureau was founded in 2002 and involved the
analytic and collection responsibilities similar to the Intelligence
Division, but also the police side. The training, coordination and
response of police units falls under this Bureau. This is mainly a
bureaucratic difference and they work closely together- which is even
obvious by going to their website.
As the capabilities of NYPD Intelligence Division and
Counter-Terrorism Bureau developed, they faced the toothing issues of
any new intelligence organization. Their officers learned as they took
on new monitoring responsibilities, investigated new plots, and
analyzed intelligence from plots in other parts of the United States
and abroad. The lack of access to information from the federal
government as well as police departments around the United States was
one of its major challenges. The US intelligence communities
sensitivities over security [LINK:--], as well as problems
communicating amongst themselves, were only amplified with local
police forces. Moreover, the NYPD belief following 9/11 was that the
federal government could not protect New York. The most high-profile
city in the world- whether ita**s for business, tourism or terrorism-
decided it had to protect itself.
NYPD had to deal with three challenges: detecting plots within New
York as they developed, getting information on terrorist tactics from
outside New York, and understanding and even deterring plots
developing outside New York. But with these challenges it also had
three key advantages- a wealth of ethnic backgrounds and language
sills to draw on, the budget and drive to develop liaison channels,
and the nimbleness (word?) maybe "flexibility" that comes with small
size allowing it to adapt to changing threat environments.
Looking for plots
STRATFOR first wrote about NYPDa**s new <proactive approach to
counterterrorism> in 2004 [LINK:
The focus moved from waiting for an attack being imminent, and
allowing police and prosecutors to a**make the big casea**, to
preventing and <disrupting plots long before they occur> [LINK:
This often means that operatives plotting attacks are charged with
much lower profile charges than terrorism or murder [correct words,
Stick?] maybe give examples such as weapons/explosives possession,
visa/document fraud, or conspiracy to commit a crime, and often look
dim-witted in how they expose themselves to authorities.
Conceptually looking for the signs of a terrorist plot is not
difficult to explain, but successfully doing so and preventing attacks
is an extreme challenge, especially when trying to balance civil
liberties. STRATFOR often writes how attackers expose themselves prior
to their attack. Grassroots defenders [LINK], as we call them, can
look for signs of pre-operational surveillance [LINK], purchasing
weapons and making improvised explosive devices [LINK], and even talk
of intent to carry out an attack [LINK?]. All of these activities are
seemingly innocuous and often legala**taking photos at a tourist site,
purchasing nail polish remover, and using free speech, for example.
But some times, and the ones that NYPD are most worried about, those
activities are carried out with ill intent. Local citizens will be
first, and police officers second, to notice these signs. NYPDa**s
challenge is to figure out how to separate the innocent from the
threat, and a large part of that is based in intelligence.
It is for this reason that the NYPD a**Demographics Unit,a** comprised
of 16 police officers with fluency in at least five languages, as the
AP reported, and which is now probably called the Zone Assessment
Unit, has been carrying out open observation in neighborhoods
throughout New York. Understanding local dynamics, down to a
block-by-block level, provides the context for any threat reporting
and intelligence that NYPD receives. The thousands of 911 and 311
calls every day- partly due to the a**If you see something, say
somethinga** campaign- can also be put into the same context. Along
with the observations by so-called a**rakersa** can you explain this?
not quite sure the readers will know who these people are detailed in
the AP reports, this allows NYPD analysts to a**connect the dotsa**
and hopefully find plots before an attack as "rakers" would go to
these neighborhoods and observe and interact with ethnic communities
The controversy developed by APa**s reporting is a natural American
reaction to perceived encroachments by law enforcement, but the NYPD
activities are nothing novel or as bad as they sound. They are not
involved in domestic spying, if you think of espionage as violating
(with permission or not) general laws of privacy or security. This
unit is not tapping your phone stealing things out of your briefcase,
or breaking into your home. All of these activities still face the
same judicial restrictions and warrant requirements that authorities
from the FBI to local police have generally followed.
Instead, these undercover NYPD officers in this unit are making open
observations of public activity. These are the same observations that
any citizen can makea**in places where there is no reasonable
expectation of privacy. Law enforcement officers from local to federal
levels have in fact been doing this for a long time. They are looking
for indicators of criminal activity in any business, religious
institution or public area, not presuming guilt in any of these
places. A business owner who is not involved in activities that enable
crime or terrorism- document fraud, money laundering, etc- has nothing
to fear from a visit by an undercover officer. In fact, they may be
better protected if the officer notices other criminal activity in the
neighborhood. The goal is to separate the innocent people from
potential or actual criminals and focus on them. Long before NYPD was
looking for jihadists, police have used the same methods to look for
Klansmen in white Christian areas, Neo-Nazis at gunshows or music
concerts, Crips in the black LA neighborhoods and MS-13 members in
Latino neighborhoods. These are indeed generalizations, but also
ita**s also factually true that these locations are where the
different groups tend to congregate. Generalizations are not enough
and why STRATFOR writes about looking for a**the howa** rather than
a**the whoa** [LINK]. And a**the howa** is exactly what police are
looking for, or should be looking for, while observing different
Looking for indicators of terrorist activities are what allow NYPD to
take on the extreme challenge of preventing terrorism, rather than
investigating and prosecuting an attack after it occurs.
Accessing information
The other major criticism within the AP reports are the links
established between the NYPD and the CIA. The latter, it is well
known, is Americaa**s foreign intelligence service and is banned from
espionage activities inside the US. The fear that the NYPD is allowing
the CIA to get past that legal barrier is a reasonable one, but so far
it is also unfounded.
The second challenge that the NYPD realized after 9/11 was trying to
get intelligence about threats from abroad, so it could be prepared at
home. Few of the major plots and attacks targeting New York City were
planned or staged there. For example, the 9/11 plotters trained in
other parts of the United States, the 1993 attackers lived in New
Jersey, and even Faisal Shahzad was trained in Pakistan and staged his
operation from ?Connecticut?. On top of that, the long-term
operational planning for these attacks was done outside the United
States, and those inspiring attacks, like Anwar al-Awlaki, were or are
based overseas. So when the NSA gets an intercept or the CIA hears
from a source about an impending terrorist attack in New York City,
NYPD would like to know the details. Similarly, as groups like
Al-Qaeda change tactics, degrade, or emerge, NYPD would also gain from
that understanding. While much of this is available in open-source, a
lot of information, and sometimes the most up-to-date is kept
classified within US government agencies,
The Intelligence Division, under Cohena**s leadership, knew it faced
many bureaucratic barriers to getting that informationa**many of these
are outlined in the 9/11 Commission Report. Information sharing was,
and still is, a key problem in the US government, so the NYPD sought
ways around this. Part of this was cooperationa**assigning many more
officers to the FBI-ran (is that accurate?) Joint Terrorism Task Force
in New York. This meant that information on classified networks could
be accessed more easily, or rapport could be developed with other
members of the JTTF to pass information along. As AP noted, they also
developed links with the CIA, through current or former CIA officers,
in order to get a**read ina** to reports from overseas. So far at
least, there is no indication that NYPDa**s domestic activities are
being fed, or are even useful to the CIA.
Understanding new threats and tactics
Getting better access to US government reports and analysis, however,
was not enough in NYPDa**s eyes. As they see it, they needed tactical
information as soon as possible so they could change their threat
posture. NYPDa**s greatest fear is that a coordinated attack on cities
throughout the world would happen, and police in New York would not be
ramped up in time. For example, an attack on transit networks in
Europe at rush hour, could be followed by one a few hours later when
New Yorkers were on their way to work. The quicker they knew the
tactics in another attack abroad, the better prepared they would be in
New York if one was imminent. This example is underlined with the 2004
train attacks in Madrid. NYPD officers were in Madrid within hours of
the attacks and reporting back to New York, but the report they
received from the FBI came 18 months later. Sending officers abroad-
they reportedly are located in 11 cities- has become a controversial
method for dealing with that delay in information.
NYPD also believed that they didna**t get enough information from the
federal reports- they were either watered-down or redacted for
classified information. The NYPD belief is that, for example, having
an officer go to as many attack scenes in Israel as well as developing
with security agencies there will provide the insight needed in case a
group active in Israel came to New York.
The officers based overseas also work to develop liaison relationships
with other police forces. Instead of being based in the US embassy-
like the FBIa**s legal attachA(c)- they work on the ground and in the
offices of other police forces. The NYPD believes that this provides
them insight they need to prepare New York City, and are willing to
risk the ire of and turf wars with other US agencies, such as the FBI,
who have a broader mandate to operate abroad.
Managing Oversight and other challenges
Commissioner Kelly, the NYPD, and politicians will brag that New York
has not seen a successful terrorist attack since 9/11. They will say
that the NYPD methods are working, have disrupted 13 plots on the city
in the last 10 years, and thus are justified. Those basic facts are
true, but that interpretation is now facing the most criticism New
York has seen in that decade. NYPD has been successful because it is
small and flexible, has little oversight or legal limitations, and has
taken on a very specific mission. Oversight is by no means a bad
thing, and in fact making sure that those liberties NYPD seeks to
protect are not violated by the organization itself is a good thing.
But the problems NYPD saw with national agencies in getting access to
intelligence in a timely fashion are those that come from bureaucracy
and oversight. Moreover, the lack of intelligence is often due to
risk-aversion from collecting it. We are by no means saying that such
a <chilling effect> [LINK:
will happen with any new oversight of the NYPD, rather that new
oversight will be careful to not impede NYPDa**s success.
The New York City Council does not have the same capability for
classified hearings that the US Congress does when overseeing national
intelligence activity. The security procedures and vetting are not in
place. Moreover, the national government has limited legal authority-
though of course a Department of Justice investigation could happen.
What Peter Vallone and federal government media sources are
essentially saying is that they are not willing to take on oversight
responsibilities. In other words, they are happy with the way NYPD is
working and want to let it continue. As oversight exists now, Kelly
briefs Vallone Just Vallone or all of the Security committee he
chairs? on various NYPD operations, and even with new oversight by the
City Council any operations will most likely be approved of.
The NYPD still has to keep civil rights concerns in mind, not due to
the legal or moral issue, but in order to function successfully. As
soon as NYPD are outcast as a danger rather than making the
neighborhood more secure, they lose access to that intelligence that
is so important in preventing attacks. They have their incentives to
keep their officers in line, as much as that may sound unlikely to
those were familiar of the NYPD of the 1970s.
Threats and Dimwits
The AP stories are only a limited reflection of what NYPD is doing.
But leta**s assume the focus, even as ita**s made out in positive
stories about NYPD, is on jihadists, rather than threats like white
supremacists, anarchists, agents of foreign governments, or less
predictable lone wolves. The attack by Anders Behring Breivik [LINK:]
in Oslo, Norway, served as a reminder of this to police departments
and security services worldwide that tunnel vision focused on
jihadists is dangerous. If NYPD is indeed only focusing on Islamic
neighborhoods (which is probably not true), the greater problem is
they will fail at security rather than face prosecution for racial
profiling. Thus there is an incentive for exceptional thinking about
what the next threat could be, and looking for signs of an attack-
rather than simple profiling. We must presume that NYPD is aware of
this as well.
In fact the modern history of terrorism in New York City goes back to
a 1916 attack by German saboteurs on a New Jersey arms depot that
damaged buildings in Manhattan. However unlikely, these are the kinds
of threats that NYPD will also need to think about as it aims to
continue to keep its citizens safe.
NYPDa**s success is not that simple. In the Faisal Shahzad case, luck
that his IED did not work was just as important as the quick response
of police officers in Times Square [LINK:--]. US operations in
Afghanistan and other countries that have largely disrupted the
Al-Qaeda network that was able to carry out the 9/11 operation have
also severely limited its ability to attack New York.
This of course leads critics to say that the NYPD is creating plots
out of unskilled and dimwitted individuals, like the two suspects
arrested may 11 for allegedly planning to carry out an armed assault
on the Empire State Building or other targets [LINK:
Critics say that these individuals would have no capability without
an NYPD undercover officer getting involved. Ita**s true that they
would be limited, but ita**s false that this means they present no
risk. One attack worth thinking about are the five individuals who are
often made fun of for their poor shooting while training at firing
ranges in the US, or returning to get a deposit on a truck they used
in an attack. Those same five were actually infiltrated by an FBI
informant in in the early 1990s, but he was taken off of the payroll.
The group later connected with Ramzi Yousef in September, 1992 and
carried out the 1993 World Trade Center Attack. Even seemingly inept
individuals, when given the right access to operational commanders and
weapons, become extremely dangerous.
The NYPD is always walking the fine line between security and civil
rights in its work to keep New York safe. Checks and oversight on its
functions are part of the system it works to protect. At the same
time, it helps to understand how its functions work and why they have
been so successful.

Transportation in Mumbai
Get a real feel for the crowded city streets by exploring Fort, Churchgate and the market areas on foot. Fort Walks is a handy book of walking tours in the area, available from local bookshops.
Although very slow, the top deck of a double-decker bus is always a great way to travel, and also the cheapest. Like other public transport, avoid jam-packed rush hours.
Mumbai's yellow-and-black taxis are cheap, convenient and everywhere. Most drivers put on the meter but some will try to tell you that the 'meter is broken'. Insist that they do. Air-conditioned taxis are blue and cost around double. Always get a pre-paid taxi from the airport and ignore drivers who insist your hotel is closed – and any offers to see his cousin's carpet shop.
Three-wheeled motorised autorickshaws are available in the central suburbs, and not allowed in the south. Cheaper than taxis, they are good for short journeys. Always insist that the meter is on.
Rent your car
Driving in Bombay/Mumbai is a unique experience with an array of cars, buses, lorries, rickshaws, motorbikes and pedestrians all vying for space. Traffic travels on the left but you can expect congestion, weaving traffic and potholes as you tackle the labyrinthine streets. Hiring a car with a driver is always an option.
Transportation tips
Avoid rush hours (8-10am, 5-8pm) when it's hard to find space to breathe on the train and traffic moves at a snail's pace. Allow plenty of time in the taxi if catching a flight or train. Take extra care of valuables on trains. Women should spend a few rupees extra to make use of the first-class ladies' compartments.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
A Rocker for everyone: this is Atomic's maxim for winter 2012/13. Because almost every Atomic ski now comes with a Rocker specifically tailored to the skier's desired terrain: • The Piste Rocker prevents edge-catching on groomed slopes and delivers optimum edge grip for every turn. • The Powder Rocker provides maximum lift and is especially agile in powder snow. • And skis with the All Mountain Rocker are especially versatile, with optimum edge grip and excellent lift.
Which Rocker is right for me? Click here. Redster: the new race series with World Cup heritage The World Cup is part of the DNA of the new Redster: Marcel Hirscher has described the new Redster boot as the "fastest race boot ever made". Thanks to a newly developed ultra-stiff Carbon Spine, the Redster responds to the terrain with even greater sensitivity, steering the ski with greater precision and enabling more explosive acceleration than any other boot. The D2 Race, a World Cup serial winner, has also been completely re-designed. The Redster Doubledeck is an evolution of the D2 Race; it is just as smooth and dynamic as its predecessor, but the Piste Rocker and new Control Deck with four Power Transmission Bridges have made it more agile than ever. The Redster collection also includes the new Redster FIS helmet as well as poles and bags.
Vantage: more fun on any terrain The new Vantage all-mountain twintip is a genuine all-rounder: versatile and easy to control, agile in powder, dynamic on the piste. Atomic's proprietary lightweight Backbone technology, which runs through the core, stabilizes the ski and ensures smooth running. The All Mountain Rocker – a combination of more pronounced rocker towards the tip and moderate rocker towards the tail of the ski – ensures optimum lift in powder. And the twintip shape makes steering and drifting even easier, making every turn effortless. The Vantage series encompasses four models: Ritual, Alibi, Theory and Panic. All four Vantage models at a glance? Click here.
Automatic and Millennium – the new premium powder models The Atomic freeski collection benefits from the expertise of the world's best freeski pros: Dana Flahr and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa were involved in the development of the new Automatic. Two massive Powder Rockers and stabilizing titanium inserts allow you to drift effortlessly through powder, while total control of the ski even at high speeds is a given. What makes the Automatic so special is that Sage came up with the design himself. The Millennium for girls is also designed for maximum performance in powder: freeride pro Molly Baker helped to develop this 110 mm wide ski. Its Powder Rocker – a combination of two heavily cambered Rockers, one below the tip, the other at the tail – make the most extreme powder descents effortless, while the ski also delivers reliable grip on hard terrain. For more information about the Millennium click here.
Tracker: the next generation of backcountry bindings The new Tracker backcountry binding combines unique performance on the descent with sophisticated Hike & Ride technology: with its Low Profile Chassis, Oversized Platform and practical Hike & Ride switch, it is the most sensational binding on the market – and is set to change backcountry skiing for ever this winter. Lightweight, maximum protection: the helmets and protectors from Atomic Atomic provides helmets and protectors for every occasion so that you are well equipped for any adventure. The innovative Live Fit helmet is just one of the new products: its breathable Memory Foam instantly adapts to the shape of any head so that the helmet is a secure, comfortable and precise fit from the word go.

The Bolivar County Fire Department and Shelby Volunteer Fire Department responded to a fire at an abandoned trailer after 5 p.m. Monday at 502 ? Blake St. in Winstonville.
Shelby Fire Chief Eugene Daniels said no one was living in the trailer and he suspects the blaze was started maliciously.
No one was injured in the incident but the structure burned to the ground.
Crews were on scene for approximately an hour.
The Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department responded to a smoking stove around 11:30 a.m. on Monday at 1312 College St.
Cleveland Fire Inspector Gene Bishop said no one was injured and firefighters helped blow the smoke out of the house. No major damage was reported.
The CVFD also responded to a car fire just before 2:15 p.m. Monday outside of the Bolivar County Head Start CL-3 building on 506 N. Chrisman Ave.
Bishop said an oil leak caused the fire in the 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue and the engine compartment was destroyed. No injuries were reported and the department quickly extinguished the flames.
In a separate incident, the Bolivar County EOC spent about three and a half hours Saturday rescuing duck hunters stranded on the Arkansas Shoot of the Mississippi River.
Bolivar County EMA Director Bill Quinton the call came in around 5:15 p.m. and the EOC and K-9 units responded.
The three hunters couldn't start their motor and were stuck on the Arkansas side of the river. All three were from Alabama.
Quinton said no one was injured but it was a difficult task trying to rescue them without allowing water into their boat.
