American Revolution
Parent Category:
1. The American Revolution, also known as the Revolutionary War, began in 1775.
2. British soldiers and American patriots started the war with battles at Lexington
and Concord, Massachusetts.
3. Colonists in America wanted independence from England.
4. The British government attempted to pass some laws, enforce several taxes,
and increase more control over the colonies. The colonies strongly objected
to these laws and taxes. They wanted England to have no control over them.
5. For ten years before the war actually started, there was a lot of tension
between England and the colonies.
6. The colonies had no central government at the beginning of the war,
so delegates from all the colonies were sent to form the first Continental Congress.
7. George Washington, a former military officer and wealthy Virginian,
was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army.
8. Members of the Continental Congress wrote a letter to King George of England
outlining their complaints and declaring their independence from England.
On July 4, 1776,
the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence,
in which the colonies declared their independence from England.
10. The war ended in 1783, and the United States of America was born.

"The Way We Worked" is an interactive exhibit portraying the work in America over the past 150 years, documenting the lives of ordinary Americans and showing that all are integral to the functioning of our economy and the defining of our culture.
The exhibit will consist of five freestanding modules, each of which will address different themes, including Where We Worked, How We Worked, Who Works, and Why We Work, through photographs, text panels and artifacts.
There will also be videos, hands on displays, various work uniforms, old telephones, typewriters, IBM punch cards, a Louisville Slugger baseball bat and cell phone segments.
Sunflower County Library System Director Mary Ann Stone said, "This exhibit opens up opportunities for the people in our area to experience a quality museum piece from the Smithsonian. Many folks just can't afford to take a trip to the Smithsonian, so through our efforts, we have been able to bring a piece of history from the Smithsonian to the people."
The Henry M. Seymour Library will also host a "Then and Now" photo display, created by the Public History Coordinator of the Sunflower County Library System Jennifer Rose, that will demonstrate the changing businesses and employment in Sunflower County.
The Smithsonian exhibit will be on the second floor of the library, while the complimentary exhibits can be found on the first floor.
This exhibit is a part of the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street program, which serves small-to-medium-sized communities by bringing Smithsonian-quality exhibitions to local community centers.
The Henry M. Seymour Library is the only public library in the state receiving this traveling exhibit.
"This exhibit brings a great opportunity for history buffs, local students studying history and economics, and the general public to see how our way of working has changed over the 150 years. That in itself is a remarkable experience and is very important. One can't plan one's future without knowing about one's past," said Stone.

In the United States, 14K yellow gold is most favored and used in jewelry. Yellow Gold YELLOW GOLD: Gold is a precious metal with a natural yellow color.

College Access Challenge Grant: School Counselor FAQs
Although the College Access Challenge Grant is not currently adding new grant schools, the following FAQs may be helpful if you are a school counselor whose school is interested in being part of the grant in the future.
Is Naviance going to create more work for me?
Initially, you would need to learn the software and load your students' records; but in the long run, your job will be made much easier. Naviance staff would lead you through the process of loading students' records, and in-person training is provided as part of the grant. College and career counseling is no easy task, but with College Planner it can be easier. This secure Web-based system for college and career counselors lets schools collect and organize information about post-secondary plans. College Planner will provide tools that can help counselors focus on the entire planning and advising process. This will provide students with an increased awareness of their educational options driving them to excellence in the classroom. With College Planner, many things you may now do manually--such as identifying failing students and sending transcripts--can be automated and customized.
What are expectations for the school and the counselors?
By participating in this grant, the school agrees to use College Planner to support student advising and participate in related professional development activities, provide data on program outcomes as requested by the Office of Higher Education and the U.S. Department of Education by completing all required reports, comply with all regulations, policies and requirements as they relate to acceptance and utilization of federal funds for this project, and acknowledge federal and state support for program activities.
How much is this going to cost?
The College Access Challenge Grant will provide the basic package "Career Planner" to 132 schools free of charge through June 30, 2011. In addition to this, online user groups and face to face training with a Naviance representative will also be included through the grant.
How many training sessions are provided for grant sites?
For grant sites, a Naviance support specialist will provide a face-to-face orientation for your school counselor(s). In addition to this orientation, we also offer regional face-to-face trainings and regional and individual webinars. These sessions are held throughout the year, and we ask that your school attend the trainings as necessary. Trainings may cover anything from basic overviews to more in-depth topics such as creating custom surveys or managing student applications.
Although these Naviance trainings are only for College Access Challenge Grant sites, all Minnesota Naviance users are welcome to attend Naviance User Group events (more information below).
What type of computer do you need to run this program?
Naviance Succeed (Career Planner) is a hosted service which means all you need is an Internet connection and Web browser. When the school signs up, Naviance will establish a Site Manager account for the school to do data import of student information, configure the system options and create unlimited additional user accounts for school staff. There's nothing to install and there are never any usage charges.
What are the technical requirements our school's technology coordinator should be aware of?
System requirements: Naviance Succeed (Career Planner) requires Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher on Microsoft Windows, Safari 1.2 or higher on Mac OSX, or Firefox 1.0 or higher on either platform.
Naviance will also provide your technology coordinator with a Guide to Importing and Exporting Information into Naviance Succeed. Naviance Succeed does not replace Infinite Campus, but works along with this tool. We work with many schools and districts that have Infinite Campus as their SIS and also use Naviance Succeed.
Can we still participate in the grant if our school is currently using Naviance?
This initiative is providing licensing for schools that do not currently have a program or funding relationship with Naviance. However, all Minnesota Naviance users are welcome to participate in Naviance User Group events sponsored by MACAC, a CACG sub-grantee. These professional development events allow colleagues to share experiences, ideas and advice on optimizing use of the software to support and communicate with students and parents. For more information about Naviance User Group events, visit www.mn-acac.org.

Looking to buy my first automobile bike rack, now that the kids recently all learned to ride. Any recommendations on one please, for 3-4 bikes? Or on what are the things I should be looking out for or avoiding? Thank you in advance. Daniel asked May 25 '11 at 18:31 Daniel |
I also wanted to transport 3-4 bikes (which is quite a weight) and we have an SUV so putting them on the roof was out (height problems for car parks, ferry problems etc), so I went for a tow hitch type as I wanted something that could take the weight. I got a Thule hitch rack. Obviously you require a tow hitch on the car but if you already have one then it's the best way to transport bikes I think. Also my last rack was fine in all respects but it used rubber clamps which locked the whole thing tight but at the same time I could see it flexing the rear car window which I didn't like. Overall you need to consider the following points – Roof mount: probably the most secure way of transporting bikes, especially the ones that lock onto the front hub of the bike (you have to take the front wheel off), its what the pro's use but you may not want to remove the wheel which, unless you purchase a wheel carrier, has to be stored in the vehicle. Also the whole setup relies on the strength of your roof bars and height may be an issue. Rear mount – these usually employ two metal hangers that attach into the lip at the top of the tail gate, as I said the one I had distorted the glass which I thought could smash with extended use. This type may also scratch paint work where the hangers attach. Hitch mount – may be expensive to have a tow hitch installed especially for the purpose, it also extends the vehicle length (remember it's on when reversing), they come with rear lights which feed into the vehicle electrical system but require a license plate (tag). Storage – you may want to consider the storage size when not in use. Whatever type you select (and I've owned them all over the years), purchase some additional straps to secure the load even further. Hope you find one that works out. linkanswered May 26 '11 at 06:26 Darren |

The Loll 4-Slat Adirondack has more comfort than you would expect from an outdoor chair, and even more so when you factor in that you will never have to work on it. The thick recycled plastic feels solid and at more than 50 pounds this chair will not blow around. With your choice of a clean flat profile or more traditional curves, the contoured back and seat will make you want to lollygag for hours and feel good about it too. The standard seat height is 13.5 inches, making it not too short or too tall. For easier entry and exit, choose the tall version at 15.5 inches. Add a matching 4-Slat Ottoman and the whole world will smile at you. Unlike most Adirondacks, we have hidden nearly every fastener for the cleanest lines. Available in nine environmentally friendly colors.
And now you never have to get up! Loll Adirondack's now come with an installed stainless steel bottle opener below the sitters' right arm. Cooler not included.

Take that winding road toward reform of PERS
Everyone realizes that one solution involves reform of Oregon's Public Employee Retirement System
Nov 15, 2012 | 5 Comments
Local government, public education and state agency budgets are stretched thin, and everyone realizes that one solution involves reform of Oregon's Public Employee Retirement System. Turning that perception into reality may be a long and winding legislative road, but a road well worth taking.
Two years ago, unions provided the funding and foot soldiers to put Democrat John Kitzhaber over the top in a tight, hard-fought battle with Republican Chris Dudley. And public employee unions led the way.
This year, Democrats retained a majority in the Oregon Senate and seized control of the House, giving Kitzhaber his first-ever taste of full party sway. Once again, public employee unions were key political players.
With that background, our expectations for meaningful PERS reform didn't exactly soar with Kitzhaber's call to action last Saturday in an address to the Oregon School Boards Association. Still, if anyone can pull off such a feat, it's John Kitzhaber.
The governor has greater legislative and leadership skills than those of his recent predecessors. He is a master at finding common ground and drawing others to it, from all sides of political, social, environmental and, yes, labor-management divides.
Kitzhaber also has plenty of solid backing on this issue. There is growing recognition in the Oregon business community and among Oregonians in general that PERS excesses have decimated public budgets and that reform is a must.
Both the governor and his working majorities in the House and Senate are beholden to the public employee unions. That was evident in Kitzhaber's opening salvo of the campaign, at least to those who understand the enormity of the PERS challenge.
PERS is a multi-headed beast, and Kitzhaber is proposing to lop off a few of those menacing heads. If that's the best we can manage, some will say, we'll take what we can get and be grateful for the governor's leadership. But it's not enough.
Oregonians thought the PERS reforms of 2003 would solve the crisis, but far from it. Some of those changes were rejected through subsequent legal challenges, while other reforms simply failed to stem the practices that most contribute to the PERS problems.
Proponents of reform agree that public employee retirement payments must be fair and sustainable, and that changes to the system must withstand legal challenge. Leaders have clearly identified key areas of reform needed to reverse disturbing PERS financial trends, with more finely tuned details to come.
Make no mistake, there is a huge problem. The PERS board acknowledges an unfunded liability of $16 billion, while an independent worst-case-scenario study says the shortfall is $90 billion. Widespread teacher layoffs and public service cutbacks attest to the immediate impact, and there's no end in sight without reforms.
Some will assess the political landscape and settle for the best we can get. We urge Oregonians to resist half-way measures, and to join the growing chorus of voices that see 2013 as an opportune time to cut through the rhetoric and make the critical decisions needed to stabilize public budgets.

The necessary reforms should not be placed solely on the backs of Tier II (1995) and OPSRP (2003), nor the taxpayers of Oregon. The only tax that should be proposed would be on all of the PERS Tier I recipients who are receiving more than 80 percent of their final salaries. The majority of Tier I employees who worked more than 35 years are receiving more than 100 percent of their final salaries. That is where the problem is (and most people acknowledge that) and those should be the people taxed. Is it fair to tax cigarette smokers to pay for PERS? Is it fair to tax property owners to pay for PERS? Is it fair to ask any third person group to pay for PERS? The answer is "No". Tax the group that is receiving the windfall.
Where does that statement originate? And who are those 'Oregonians' that really believed 2003 reform was the cure? Most believed it was a poorly placed band aid!
Oregon's government is controlled by the public employee unions -- you play ball under union rules or you go away. The governor and legislature can make all the noise they wish, but just like all other attempts to reform, the unions must agree (or the bill never gets out of committee).
I would be very surprised if there were even a 'handful' (5) of Demos willing to risk their government position to support real reform (and by taking a side opposite the unions, that's the risk). That number will be evident soon.
And since all those charged with the responsibility of reforming PERS are also recipients of the program, does anyone really believe the legislature will correctly represent the people of Oregon? It hasn't happened for 30 years, or more! And when any reform actually reaches the courts, the deciding judges, PERS members also, would be handing down judgements to their own benefits.

So should businesses start factoring Google+ into their plans? Or will Google+ be a flash in the pan. At this early stage, opinion is divided. David Bashford, director at SITEFORUM, predicts:
"I think Google+ is going to do the same as Google Wave, and sink! In order to be successful it must prove that it can offer a new dimension to existing social networking sites, which I doubt very much that it will. Instead, it seems clear Google is trying to force a platform on consumers, leading it to already fail in competing with Facebook which had the first move advantage and was launched and developed ahead of consumer demand. Many marketers have had their fingers burnt by investing time and money in networks that haven't taken off, so I would imagine Google+ won't have an effect on the marketing industry unless it shocks us all by gaining significant traction amongst everyday internet users. For brands, this may become another channel to exploit but I would not waste too much effort anytime soon. The value of engaging with consumers on social networks is proven – however, the ultimate goal for brands must still be driving the conversation to their own websites, which should be ready and willing to offer as much interactive and personalised content as any social network."

Updated: January 4, 2013 6:19AM
The field to fill the U.S. House seat vacated by Jesse Jackson Jr. expanded Sunday as former state Rep. Robin Kelly announced she is running for the 2nd Congressional District office.
Kelly, who was appointed chief administrative officer for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle in 2011, was chief of staff to former state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias and ran unsuccessfully to replace him when he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. She is a former state representative from Matteson, which is in the 2nd District.
Also Sunday, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation setting April 9 as the date for the special election to fill the 2nd District seat of former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., of Chicago, who resigned last month amid a federal investigation into use of campaign funds. Jackson cited mental health issues that had kept him away from the House since mid-June. The primary for the special election is Feb 26.
Jackson's former seat leaves a rare opening in the Democratic-leaning Chicago area district he had held since 1995.
Kelly told supporters Sunday at a restaurant in Matteson that she remembers many stories she has heard from people in the south suburbs, "working families struggling to make it, fighting hard each and every day for their fair share of the opportunity this country promises its people, and that is why ... I'm running for Congress."
She said she had struggled at times as a single parent to raise two young children, even though she had a master's degree. As a child, she worked at her family's mom-and-pop grocery store, where her dad labored seven days a week to provide for his family.
She said she is running for all those in the community, "living paycheck to paycheck wondering why the Tea Party Congress spends more time trying to tear down our president than lift up our country," and to make sure that those who want to repeal the Obama administration's health-care law fail.
In a Chicago Sun-Times interview, Kelly said her legislative priorities would be transportation, education, economic development and job creation, as well as women's and veteran's issues.
She said she supports an airport in Peotone, contending, "I know that would bring economic development and jobs to the area, and also people would not have to travel so far to get to the jobs.
"I feel like I've been training for this job for 20 years," she added. "I've worked on every level of government, from municipal to the county and to the state, and I feel like my qualifications, my education, my experience have greatly prepared me for this job."
Kelly joins a list of candidates that includes State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, of Olympia Fields, and Chicago Ald. Anthony Beale (9th), who said Thursday they will run in the special election; former U.S. Rep Debbie Halvorson, of Crete; state Sen. Donne Trotter, of Chicago; state Sen.-elect Napoleon Harris, of Flossmoor; and former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds, who held the 2nd District seat for one term before Jackson won the seat. He resigned in 1995 and served time in prison for having sex with an underage girl and misusing campaign funds.

Ed was born April 1, 1931, in Dixon. He was a 1955 graduate of Mississippi State University and was a lifelong Bulldog fan.
He served during the Korean War from 1950-1952 in the Army tank division and as military police.
He was a big man with a big heart and was loved by everyone he met. Many people were influenced by his friendly smile and loving personality.
In 1949 he became a Christian and served his Lord in his church, as well as his secular life. He was a wonderful husband and father. His faith in God permeated every area of his life and he led by example.
He spent his life farming in the Benoit-Scott area and many farm organizations sought his services and insight on many committees and offices. He served on local, state and national levels. Many awards were given to him, which he always humbly accepted.
His greatest accomplishment is this graduation into the Heavenly Kingdom.

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.

Here are the answers to questions about Yemen that we sent to a journalist
traveling in Yemen. We're evaluating the credibility and usefulness of
his information so let me know what you think of his responses. The
questions were from Kamran, Reva and Stick. If there is anything useful
in here we want to use let me know and I'll decide how to handle it and
what attribution to use.
1) What are the opponents of Saleh doing to break the stalemate that has
existed for months? Can they overcome their differences to be more
The Joint Meeting Parties (JMP, a coalition of opposition political
parties including the Islah party, The Yemeni Socialist Party and the
Al-Haq Party, most notably) are continuing to negotiate with ruling party
members (General Peoplea**s Congress, GPC) over the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC)-brokered power transfer deal. In the most recent development
in the negotiations, Ali Abdullah Saleh authorized his vice president,
AbdRabo Mansur Hadi, through presidential decree to act as his proxy in
signing the agreement in Sanaa**a while he recuperates in Saudi Arabia.
Characteristic of the political maneuvering used by both the GPC and JMP,
this move by President Saleh is further indication that he does not intend
to sign the agreement. Two months prior, Saleh offered to sign the
agreement but only as head of his party, the GPC, and not as President of
Yemen. The JMP rejected this proposal out right, and it was Saleha**s
belief that they would again reject his proposal to allow VP AbdRabo
Mansur Hadi to sign the agreement as his proxy.
The JMP is in fact united in support of the GCC agreement but only in
light of the fact that they are sure it will fail to be implemented.
The US and the GCC are persistent in continuing negotiations surrounding
this initiative, and the US is confident that it is the best solution for
the political crisis in Yemen. However, as independent youth protesters
have reiterated time and time again, they would not leave the streets if
this agreement was signed but would continue to protest against the
presence of Saleha**s relatives in the military and in the government.
While many analysts believe that without the support of the JMP nationwide
protest would lose momentum, such a belief is inaccurate. There is a large
JMP presence at Change Square in Sanaa**a, there is almost no JMP presence
in Taiza**s Freedom Square and absolutely no JMP presence in Adena**s
protests. Numbers in Sanaa**aa**s Change Square may decrease following a
signing of the agreement but a significant number of independent
protesters would remain in the square.
Independent protesters have also called for further escalations in protest
marches. However, as seen earlier in September, the JMP leadership in
Sanaa**aa**s Change Square is unwilling to allow protesters to leave the
protective cordon set up by Ali Mohsena**s defected 1st Armored Brigade.
By staying inside this cordon, protesters avoid clashes with loyalist
security forces and therefore do not exert any further pressure on the
government. During one of the protest marches on September 6th, several
frustrated independent protesters broke from the main march and charged
forth toward loyalist security forces. The soldiers opened fire on them,
injuring three. While many independent protesters are pushing for marches
to leave the security cordon, they are not powerful enough to overcome JMP
control of these marches.
The US is also very insistent on continuing their efforts to implement the
GCC power transfer initiative because they have no plan a**Ba** for
solving the political crisis in Yemen. In an interview with US Ambassador
to Yemen Gerald Feierstein last May, he reiterated to me that the GCC
initiative would indeed be successful and there was no plan a**B.a** Being
that I had to clear all quotes with the Ambassador before publishing, he
asked me to exclude that statement from a piece I wrote for Global Post
found here. Just to reiterate, I would ask that this statement from the US
Ambassador only be published internally.
2) What kind of arrangement is Saleh looking for to eventually step down
in terms of guarantees for himself, his family, friends, clan, etc?
Since protests first began in February, the only concession Saleh has made
to protesters is a pledge not to run for president again in 2013 and to
not place any of his close relatives in the presidential race. Since these
statements in late February, Salehhas continued to remain defiant, stating
three times his intention to sign the GCC power transfer agreement and
reneging on all three pledges.
In doing so, Saleh has shown no intention of removing his friends and
relatives from military and political leadership positions. According to
the Yemeni constitution (article 124) the president may delegate
responsibility to the vice president without mention of any constraints.
Article 115 of the Yemeni Constitution states that extraordinary
presidential elections must be held only if the current president is
incapacitated or if the office of the president is vacant. Being that
neither of these two conditions are true, and considering article 124, Ali
Abdullah Saleh may remain as president, residing in Saudi Arabia, until
the end of his official term in 2013. To save face, Saleh will continue to
delay a transfer of power until this date.
The only point at which Saleha**s relatives and tribal allies can be
removed from their positions is if a new president decides to make
appointments. It is the sole power of the president to appoint and dismiss
senior government officials and military/police officers according to the
law (Yemeni Constitution, article 118, section 9).
In the current GCC power transfer agreement being negotiated, all of
Saleha**s relatives and clansmen are granted immunity from prosecution.
3) What is the reality of the Jihadists in the country taking advantage of
the state of unrest?
The Jihadist view toward the unrest is an interesting one. Even before
protests first began, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) began
turning its efforts inward, attacking Yemeni military positions and
encampments. The last AQAP attempt made against Western interests was the
botched October 2010 parcel bomb plot.
Jihadists have indeed taken advantage of the unrest in their recent
territorial gains in south Yemen. While the Yemeni military has claimed to
have beaten back the militants, fighting between the military and
jihadists is still taking place in Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan
During the fighting that began in June, militants seized territory as far
as Al-Houta, capital of the Lahj Governorate. During the fighting,
residents in Aden were incredibly terrified that the militants would make
an attempt on the city. Having visited Aden during the fighting, their
fears were not necessarily unfounded. The military presence in Aden is
quite small. In June, the presence was limited to two T-72 tanks (in
apparent disrepair) stationed near the airport, one military checkpoint
with a technical [technical team? technician?] stationed on the main road
connecting the Aden peninsula to the Sheikh Uthman district, and three
other tanks (too distant to make out what type) on the seaside along the
coastal road near the airport. As fighting continues in Abyan, should
jihadist make gains against the military and reach Aden (just 40 miles
away from Zinjibar along the coastal road) they would meet little military
The organizational makeup of the militants fighting against the Yemeni
Military in Abyan remains unclear. IDPs from Zinjibar living in Aden in
June simply stated that the militants were Yemenis with accents that were
native to the area. In speaking with 40+ IDPs in four different shelters
set up in local schools, not one of them said that any of the militants
looked foreign or spoke with foreign accents nor did they state that any
of the militants claimed to be associated with AQAP.
In late July, AQAP Amir Nasir Al-Wuhayshi released an audio recording in
which he spoke about the current political situation. The recording was
posted on a credible Al-Malahim Jihadi forum and I do not question its
authenticity. In this statement, he condemned both the JMP and the Yemeni
government and stated that AQAP members were present at protest squares
across the country. While I dona**t doubt the truth of this statement, I
have never spoken with anyone who claimed to be associated with AQAP at
Change Square in Sanaa**a and the vast majority of protesters are strongly
opposed to AQAP and militants in general.
4) Why aren't the renegade al-Houthi-Zaydis doing more to exploit the
situation to their advantage?
The main reason the Houthis have not made any attacks against the Yemeni
Military in Saa**ada is because the Yemeni Military is virtually absent in
the governorate. Several self-described Houthis in Change Square in
Sanaa**a have said that the Houthis are in control of Saa**ada and are
rebuilding their communities. A popular joke among Yemenis during the
tribal fighting in Al-Hasaba in June was to say that they were moving to
Saa**ada where it was safe.
However, fighting between Houthis and Jihadist in the Al-Jawf governorate
has been intense. AQAP claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing
against a gathering of Houthis last August. In a statement on jihadist
forums, AQAP declared that the attack a**comes within the framework of its
repelling the Houthis alleged aggression against Sunnis.a** Fighting
between Salafis and Houthis in Al-Jawf has taken place sporadically since
early 2010.
5) How badly are the armed forces fractured? Any chance that there can be
a decisive shift by tribal forces against Saleh?
Yemena**s military is incredibly fractured. After the countrya**s most
power military commander Ali Mohsen Al-Ahmar announced his defection on
March 20th, a number of powerful officers followed his lead. Here is a
list of those commanders I compiled at the time.
Hamid al-Qushaybi: Commander of 301st Brigade in Ammran (the Hashid tribal
confederation stronghold)
Ali Muhsin Ahmad al-Shabaybi: Commander of 26th Brigade of Republican
Muhammad Ali Muhsin: commander of the Eastern Military District (Regular
Sayf al-Baqri: Commander of Central District in Sanaa
Brigadier General HusaynZaydKhayran: Commander of Kahlan Base; 1st
Artillery Brigade
Brigadier General ThabitNasir al-Jahwari: 121st Brigade
Brigadier General Sadiq al-Sarhan: commander of Air Defense in 1st Brigade
Ali Abad Muthna: Republican Guard Commander in Dhammar
Thabit Muthna Jawas: Commander of 15th Mechanized Division
Yemena**s Central Security Forces, under the command of Ali Abdullah
Saleha**s eldest nephew YahyaSaleh which includes American and British
trained counter terrorism forces, remains the only military branch that
has remained ostensibly loyal to PresidentSaleh.
The Republican Guard, under the command of Ali Abdullah Saleha**s son
Ahmed, remains at approximately half strength. The regular army, divided
into four main divisions, remains at half strength as well. These four
divisions include the northwestern division (under the command of Ali
Mohsen Al-Ahmar, the southern division, the eastern division, and the
southeastern division. The eastern and northwestern divisions have
A decisive shift in tribal forces against Saleh has already occurred.
However, it is important to note that Yemena**s two tribal confederations,
the Hashid and Bakil, are not monoliths. While there are influential
Sheikhs in both confederations, smaller sheikhs are in no way beholden to
their desires or a**commands.a** Sadeq Al-Ahmar, the most senior Sheikh of
the Hashid Confederation, has pledged support to Yemena**s revolution.
Bakila**s most senior Sheikh and governor of Sanaa**a Governorate,
Noa**man Duwaid, remains loyal to the president. However, Duwaid has yet
to make a public appearance after being injured in the attack on the
presidential palace in June and sent to Saudi Arabia for treatment.
Hashid has fought Yemena**s military inside Sanaa**a in the Al-Hasaba
district in June. Sporadic skirmishes continue to break out between Hashid
and loyalist forces inside Sanaa**a, most recently on September 17th.
Several different Bakil elements have engages loyalist military forces on
several different occasions. In May, Bakil tribesmen in Nihm, 30 km
northeast of Sanaa**a, shot down one helicopter, captured two others, and
seized control of a Republican Guard base. Beginning in July, Bakil
tribesmen in Arhab, 40 km north of Sanaa**a, have been fighting Republican
Guard forces. The fighting continues as of now (September 17th). Arhab
tribesmen continue to threaten to take control of Sanaa**aa**s airport in
an attempt to stop the airstrikes being carried out against them. The
airport continues to remain open while Emriates and Qatar Airways
sporadically cancel flights in conjunction with tribal threats against the
airport. In spite of having airstrike capability, Arhab tribesmen still
demonstrate an ability to fight fiercely against Yemena**s military.
Shelling can be heard from the airport most nights and occasionally it
grows close enough to be heard inside Sanaa**a.
6) How are the Saudis trying to manage the political transition? Is there
a split within the Saudi leadership over how to manage the situation?
The Saudi role in the political transition is perhaps one of the most
important unanswered questions in this crisis. As per usual, getting Saudi
officials to speak to the press is nearly impossible. The Saudi government
continues to publicly support the power transfer deal that they sponsor,
along with other Gulf nations.
As speaking to Saudi officials is virtually impossible, I have made
attempts to speak with other gulf diplomats in Yemen. Abdullah Matar
Al-Mazroui, Emirati Ambassador to Yemen, informed me in a phone
conversation that not a single Saudi official has visited Saleh during his
stay in Saudi Arabia. Most likely, Saudi officials have avoided speaking
with Saleh as to not address the issue of his return. While it is apparent
that Saudi Arabia does not wish for Saleh to return to Yemen through their
support of the GCC brokered power transfer agreement, they would not be
willing to stop him from returning forcefully. There does not seem to be a
split in Saudi leadership as to their support for the GCC agreement;
however, I have been unable to speak to Saudi officials directly.

We spend a lot of time on foot, and these boots make all the difference in comfort, enhanced agility on rocks and steep hills and they allow us to move long distances much more quickly. We frequently cross wadis and streams, with water up to our waists, and the Moab's dry out quickly. We have found them to be very durable and up to the challenge of combat in one of the top roughest locations in the world. Our only regret is that we did not have them in prior deployments. We wish we could acquire them more easily over here, but they take about 3 weeks to ship to us.

There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.
