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.

Unique Capabilities, R2P, & a Farewell Warning
Speaking a little over a week ago, President Obama repeated what we have
heard over and over concerning the high level of American involvement in
the Libyan campaign,
"We will provide the unique capabilities that we can bring to bear to
stop the violence against civilians, including enabling our European
allies and Arab partners to effectively enforce a no-fly zone,"
What are those "unique capabilities?" Most have focused on the tactical
aspects, there is much more than that. Of course, no one has the
satellite access, TLAM inventory, Heavy Bombers, or Tanker, or Heavy EW/ES
like we do. That is part of our "unique capabilities" - but not the
Why are USA capabilities "unique?" That answer is the simple: Western
Europe has but a shadow of the military capability it once had. The long
slide started with the Suez Crisis, and has culminated with the last gasps
of the Western Welfare State's economic foundations that today have
drained defense budgets to absurd levels as a percentage of GDP - our
traditional European allies simply cannot initiate and sustain intense
expeditionary combat operations without us. Put peace keepers in small,
steamy, quasi-failed former colonies in Africa? Sure. Sustained
Joint-Combined combat operations without the USA - notsomuch.
Libya isn't even a large country - though geographically large, its
population of 6,419,925 is concentrated along the coastal road. In
contrast, the European Union - which BTW has its own military structures -
has a population of 501,259,800. Yes, Libya has 1.2% of the population of
the European Union - yet the defense of European access to oil and secure
maritime borders is being led by a North American (Canadian), and being
fought air-to-ground mostly by other North Americans (USA). Yes, the EU is
not NATO and NATO is not the EU - but as we know whose interests are
primary of concern here; this works for me.
Let's make it even more lopsided. Libya has a GDP of $62.36 billion. The
EU has a combined GDP of $15.95 trillion. Let me adjust that for you;
$15,950 billion. Yes, Libya has ~.4% of the EU's GDP ... yet the EU needs
North American leaders, military forces, and borrowed money to defend its
Ponder that a bit - I'll come back to it.
Military power isn't the most important "unique capability" of our nation.
No, the most important are leadership and will. No other nation has the
institutional ability to plan, organize, or lead a large scale
Combined-Joint operation. That is the military side; the political side is
that our allies are used to having our leadership and our top-cover when
it comes to major military operations. Not only do we have the ability to
bring the most to the fight, but regardless what political party is in
power, we usually have the political ability to absorb the inevitable
complaints, second guessing, gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes by
the usual suspects that comes with military operations in the post-Vietnam
era. Parliamentary systems such as those of our allies are not as sturdy
as our system. These nations also have generations of leaders whose first
instinct when it comes to major military actions is to look to Washington.
Habits are what they are. They have become dependent - and for a variety
of reasons we are happy with that.
I would like to lay down another marker before the President's speech. As
we discussed on Midrats yesterday with U.S. Naval War College Professor of
Strategy, Thomas G. Mahnken, Ph.D., the Europeans have some realpolitik
reasons for this conflict. The Libyan conflict is not about peace and
democracy - though they make good talking points. If they were a concern,
NATO jets would be flying over as many nations as their tankers could take
them. No, this is about something much simpler. This is about the free
flow of oil to Europe at market prices and trying to keep a lid on illegal
immigration from Africa.
The fact that NATO is taking this mission is interesting as well. NATO has
transformed - perhaps in ways not fully understood by many. In Libya, NATO
is not defending the alliance from outside aggression as it was charted to
do. It is not helping another alliance nation to prosecute those who
attacked it, like ISAF is in AFG. No, NATO has signed up for something
very different. Without any of its member nations being threatened, NATO
is executing offensive operations beyond its borders supporting one side
against another in a civil war. Quite the transformation.
As usual with NATO operations - this would not be possible without
American forces and American money. Is it in the American interest?
From Sunday;
MR. GREGORY: Secretary Gates, is Libya in our vital interest as a
SEC. GATES: No. I don't think it's a vital interest for the United
States, but we clearly have interests there, and it's a part of the
region which is a vital interest for the United States.
If anyone read or listened to SECDEF Gates earlier this month, this should
not be a surprise. Hopefully tonight, the President will clarify this to
the American people.
Even our Canadian friends are trying to figure out their nation's reasons.
Why is Canada at war in Libya? You won't get the answer from our elected
leaders. They're too busy fighting an election to explain it to us. You
can't count on the opposition parties to raise awkward questions,
either. They have better things to do at a crucial time like this.
Besides, it's just a little war. It will be over soon, unless it isn't.
If all goes well, perhaps Canadians won't notice that our political
class has committed us to an open-ended military action in North Africa
without a clue about what the mission is, who's in charge, or how deep
the quagmire might get.
The short answer is that Canada is in Libya because our allies are. But,
ideologically, this is very much a made-in-Canada war - rooted in a
doctrine that has been tirelessly promoted by foreign policy liberals
such as Lloyd Axworthy and Bob Rae, and vigorously endorsed by some of
Barack Obama's closest advisers, especially Samantha Power at the
National Security Council.
This doctrine is known as the "responsibility to protect" (R2P for
short) and was endorsed by the United Nations in 2005. It mandates that
the "international community" is morally obliged to defend people who
are in danger of massive human-rights violations. It's rooted in Western
guilt over the failure to prevent genocide in Rwanda. R2P is the moral
underpinning of the war in Libya, and it's the reason why people such as
Paul Martin, Romeo Dallaire, Mr. Rae and Mr. Axworthy have been so
amazingly eager for us to rush into battle.
So have Ms. Power and her sister warriors Hillary Clinton, the U.S.
Secretary of State, and Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the UN.
Together, these three convinced Mr. Obama of the urgent moral case for
war in Libya. Ms. Power is the author of the enormously influential book
A Problem from Hell, about Washington's failure to prevent genocide in
the 20th century. Her counterpart in France is the glamorous philosopher
Bernard-Henri Levy, who flew to Benghazi, met the rebels, and persuaded
French President Nicolas Sarkozy (who badly needs a boost in the polls)
to back them.
R2P - another acronym that helps people avoid defining words, Is it what
Mickey Kaus in The Daily Caller calls, "humanitarian imperialism." Where
do you stop? As we are in IRQ, AFG, and now Libya while our military
budget starts to shrink and the Western sovereign debt crisis expands; I
don't know about you, but my war-card is about full.
With all the above swirling about as we wait for the President to speak on
the subject - as I often try to do when things in the world get fuzzy - I
go to the writings of great men. In this case, the Father of our Country;
President George Washington.
On a regular basis, people need to read his farewell address in full - but
this extended quote is worth pondering in some depth. The points he raise
are as relevant today as they were then, perhaps more so.
The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an
habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its
animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it
astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against
another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay
hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable,
when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence frequent
collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The Nation,
prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the
Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government
sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through
passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity
of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride,
ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often,
sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces
a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the
illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common
interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other,
betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the
latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to
concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which
is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by
unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by
exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the
parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to
ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the
favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their
own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding,
with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable
deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the
base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in
extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little
political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed
engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us
Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very
remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies,
the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence,
therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial
ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary
combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a
different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient
government, the period is not far off, when we may defy material injury
from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause
the neutrality, we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously
respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making
acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation;
when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice,
shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own
to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that
of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of
European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any
portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty
to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing
infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable
to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best
policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in
their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be
unwise to extend them.
Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a
respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary
alliances for extraordinary emergencies.
What habits have we and the Europeans picked up since WWII and the Cold
War? Do they apply in the second decade of the 2st Century? Is it in the
American interest to have our children borrow money from the Chinese so we
can send our armies though the earth searching for dragons to slay, to do
the fighting for others who will not do it for themselves?

Analysis: 2012 Could Prove Even Wilder Ride than 2011
December 22, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Peter Apps, Political Risk Correspondent
LONDON (Reuters) – The ancient Mayans attached special significance to 2012, possibly the end of time. That has spawned a rush of apocalyptic literature for the holiday season.
But you don't have to believe the world is about to end to realize that next year contains perhaps the widest range of political risks to the global economy in recent history.
With elections and leadership changes in the most powerful countries, Europe in crisis, ferment in the Middle East and worsening economic hardship driving unrest and discontent everywhere, 2012 could be just as volatile as 2011 if not worse.
The current year may yet carry a sting in its tail, with worries over the euro and jitters over a possible Israeli strike on Iran likely to keep financial markets and policymakers on tenterhooks all the way to the New Year.
More than three years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers prompted the worst financial crash since the Great Depression, economic turmoil looks to be driving political upheaval in what could become a particularly disruptive feedback loop.
Economic stresses — from rising food prices to worsening economic hardship in the developed world — were at the heart of many of 2011's political stories. As they intensify, political volatility, gridlock, confrontation and conflict — whether domestic or international — look set to worsen.
"It's going to get worse before it gets better," said Jonathan Wood, global issues analyst at London-based risk consultancy Control Risks. "If you look at what's been driving events this year, none of the factors has gone away and many of the economic drivers are still growing."
Presidential elections in the United States, France and Russia and the dual transition of power at the top of China's Communist Party will add to the uncertainty. They may make it harder for political leaders to find compromises or push through tough policy choices.
That, many analysts warn, brings with it a mounting risk of political gridlock coming just as the world needs leadership most. The failure of the U.S. Congressional "super committee" to agree on how to reduce the budget deficit may be a sign of things to come domestically in many countries.
President Barack Obama faces a tough re-election bid, whomever the Republicans choose to challenge him, because of a sluggish economy, 8.6 percent unemployment and a squeeze on the middle classes due to fallen home and stock prices.
A fragile global consensus forged at a 2009 summit of leaders of the Group of 20 major economies may be gone for good, replaced by what Ian Bremmer, president of political risk consultancy Eurasia Group, calls a rudderless "G-zero" world.
Top of the list of 2012 risks for many analysts is the unresolved sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone.
If the 17-nation European single currency is to survive in its current form, its members will have to confront harsh economic adjustments and seismic political reform. Last week's Brussels summit, the 16th since the start of the two-year-old crisis, was billed by some as the last chance to save the euro.
While euro zone leaders and some non-euro states agreed to forge a closer fiscal union with stricter budget discipline, the outcome fell short of guaranteeing the euro's ultimate survival.
At worst, 2012 could still see a disorderly breakup bringing with it a chain of defaults, bank runs and civil unrest, not to mention a savage global economic shock worse than that of 2008.
Ultimately, however, many believe the euro will endure — although not without colossal strains as it tries to reconcile very different economies such as Germany and Greece.
"The greatest single risk is obviously the euro zone but it might also be the risk that is sorted out the quickest," says Alastair Newton, a former British government official who is chief political analyst at Japanese bank Nomura.
"But even if that happens then you're still going to have very low growth and a rise in social unrest in the southern euro zone in particular and across Europe in general. Even in the best case scenario, 2012 looks pretty rough."
For others, the Middle East remains the most important area to watch for potential disruption to the global economy.
Almost a year after the beginning of the "Arab Spring" democracy movement, the region remains in political flux with untested Islamist parties winning power across north Africa and Syria's uprising slowly turning towards outright civil war.
After the fall of several veteran Western-backed Arab rulers, the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq is seen as the latest sign of the diminishing influence of Western powers in a region they dominated for some 200 years.
In the resulting vacuum, regional powers such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and an isolated and perhaps more erratic Iran appear in increasingly open confrontation.
Western intelligence estimates that Iran is moving closer to a viable nuclear weapon have a shorter timeline, and some analysts say 2012 could be the year when Tehran's enemies decide to go beyond covert sabotage with a military strike that could spark retaliation against oil supplies in the Gulf.
"The bigger wild card out there is an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and elements of regime control," says Thomas Barnett, chief strategist of political risk consultancy Wikistrat, saying neither the Israeli nor the Iranian leadership looks inclined to back down. "The setting here is scary… something has got to give in this strategic equation."
Even if the world avoids a devastating shock such as a Middle East war or a European breakdown, many analysts fear the business of politics and policy-making could become increasingly difficult around the world.
With economic growth slowing and unemployment creeping up, most analysts believe the risks of social unrest will continue to rise across much of the developed and developing world.
"We have all the problems you'd expect from economic hardship. At some stage we will have rising food prices which are always destabilizing and we have a question over whether China will overheat," says Elizabeth Stephens, head of credit and political risk at London insurance brokers Jardine Lloyd Thompson.
"Even a fall of one or two percentage points of GDP (in China) could be enough to really question social stability if they can't keep job creation going… We (also) have probable ongoing unrest in Europe and the ongoing transition in the Middle East and North Africa could be quite unstable."
In the dying days of the year, other long held assumptions of stability have be thrown into question — not least by the rising tide of protest against Russia's Vladimir Putin. The one certainty for 2012, many believe, is more of the unexpected.
"2011 was a nightmarish year to be a policy maker or an investment portfolio manager but it was a great one to be a political analyst," says Newton. "I'd certainly expect the same for next year."

The Fatah- Hamas Reconciliation
May 5, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Geoffrey Cook, TMO
Richmond, Va.–May 3rd–I was just informed of the commencement of this project (Saturday, the last day of the previous month) that one of Colonel's Khadafy's seven sons was slain– and the Colonel nearly so–at the Libyan government's Armed Forces Command and Control Center in Tripoli by an Anglo-Franco-American air strike. Cyrenaica's civil war is emerging as an extended one.
While from the Maghreb to Far Western Asia, Syria appears to be degenerating into a Civil War of its own.
On the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula agrees to step down immediately as soon as he receives (legally-binding) assurances that neither he nor any of his family is not prosecuted for their decisions in attempting to put down the initial unrest. As a negotiator himself, your observer does not deem this to be an unacceptable compromise. Yet, the great hoi-polloi have rejected this compromise, and continuing their rioting for the instant removal of the administration as it is currently constructed without any pre-conditions.
Over the world — and even the larger Islamic world — political unrest has sprouted, but I would like to focus upon the most central point of the Arab "Spring," and this is Palestine, for their non-Arab, non-Islamic neighbor, Israel, is, as your scribe has repeated in past pieces is the key or failure of the success or failure of a unique Arab democracy (ies).
Your author shall switch from the third to the first person because what I am to compose is opinion, and based on plan guessing. It is, also, e aqua — from the "tope of my head."
Probably, the most newsworthy incident to come out of the Middle East was the reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah, the two main political parties within Palestine. Fatah controls the West Bank while Hamas the Gaza Strip.
After the 2006 Gaza election, which (Former U.S.) President Jimmy Carter declared the polls in that mini-(Palestinian) nation as the most free and fair that his teams had ever observed, Hamas, an Islamist Party won fairly without question. This lead to a bloody, short civil war between the two Palestinian political parties. With Hamas driving their "brother" faction from Gaza city.
As so often in the Arab world, the eternal world demands democracy within the Arabic-speaking peoples. When that very things comes about the bloc that comes to power is declared a "terrorist" organization — both the United States and Israel refused to recognize the Strip. (In fact, Israel brought a most vicious to the innocent civilians within that State.) Because Hamas had been mentored by the second largest party in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood, Mubarak, who lately headed, the Nile State, blockaded, their border into the Gazan "nation" at Rafah because the last oppressive government where afraid of Hamas (Gaza is not that far from the oldest continuous nation's) reforms would have on their mock "Parliament" on the River. (After disturbances brought down Mubarak's regime Gaza is finally being supplied from their Western borders!)
Here, at Richmond, I have had several intense talks with (U.S.) Defense Department officials who were quite perturb of the Muslim Brotherhood growth of influence within the largely North African nation. I assured them that they were politically right-of Center party who wished to put their religious morality within their policies. The universal reply I received was "I hope you're right!"
Back to last weeks rejoining of Hamas with Fatah to form a united political over all the Palestinian nation as it now exists.
As I have said before I am in dialogue with many progressive Jewish-Americans and even a few Israelis. For the most part, these groups are for settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian, and I fully support most but not all of their proposals. What concerns me, though, is that even the liberal organization stand in opposition to the unification of the Palestinian political parties because Hamas does not recognize Tel Aviv' right to exist.
In the next ballot, provided it is free and fair, Hamas would not only prevail in the Mediterranean, but the West Bank as well.
Although Hamas refuses as yet to recognize a Zionist State, it is better that all parties are discussion amongst themselves than not. The object of negotiation is not that they agree with each other, but that they can find a middle ground from which a compromise; otherwise, the end object will be War, and with Israel being a nuclear State (from the Negev) mega-tragedy can develop. I would call upon Jews in the United States to call upon your State to react diplomatically rather than militarily. I would urge American Muslims to pressure Washington to be even-handed!
Finally, Israel has made a veiled threat to Egypt (and, thus, to other nations in the region) that, if the Brotherhood should dominate, the forthcoming vote, Israeli Jerusalem would take it as a hostile act. Both Hamas and the Brotherhood are fully democratic organizations.
The Arab "Spring" must succeed! An Islamic democracy must be based upon the religion's principles and culture must be allowed to developed. Israel must not allowed to be the spoiler. Besides, strong regional sponsors may allow for a resolution for the dilemma of the Occupied Territories to be solved, and, incidentally, for the survival of the State of Israel's within the Middle East in accepted secure borders alongside a viable Palestinian State. For the present actions of that nation can only guarantee its worst fear — that will be driven into the Sea within a hundred years or less!
China Accuses US of Online Warfare in Iran
March 4, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Iran election unrest an example of US 'naked political scheming' behind free speech facade, says Communist party editorial
A protest over the Iranian election in Washington last June. Photograph: Molly Riley/Reuters
The United States used "online warfare" to stir up unrest in Iran after last year's elections, the Chinese Communist party newspaper claimed today, hitting back at Hillary Clinton's speech last week about internet freedom.
An editorial in the People's Daily accused the US of launching a "hacker brigade" and said it had used social media such as Twitter to spread rumours and create trouble.
"Behind what America calls free speech is naked political scheming. How did the unrest after the Iranian election come about?" said the editorial, signed by Wang Xiaoyang. "It was because online warfare launched by America, via YouTube video and Twitter microblogging, spread rumours, created splits, stirred up and sowed discord between the followers of conservative reformist factions."
Washington said at the time of the unrest that it had asked Twitter, which was embraced by Iranian anti-government protesters, to remain open. Several social media sites, including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, have been blocked in China in the last year.
The editorial asked rhetorically whether obscenity or activities promoting terrorism would be allowed on the net in the US. "We're afraid that in the eyes of American politicians, only information controlled by America is free information, only news acknowledged by America is free news, only speech approved by America is free speech, and only information flow that suits American interests is free information flow," it added.
It attacked the decision to cut off of Microsoft's instant messaging services to nations covered by US sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan and North Korea, as violating America's stated desire for free information flow. Washington later said that such services fostered democracy and encouraged their restoration.
China initially gave a low-key response to Google's announcement that it was no longer willing to censor google.cn. The internet giant said it had reached its decision following a Chinese-originated cyber attack targeting the email accounts of human rights activists, and in light of increasing online censorship.
Clinton's direct challenge to China, in a speech that had echoes of the cold war with its references to the Berlin wall and an "information curtain", led Beijing to warn that US criticism could damage bilateral relations. Clinton called on China to hold a full and open investigation into the December attack on Google.
In an interview carried by several Chinese newspapers today, Zhou Yonglin, deputy operations director of the national computer network emergency response technical team, said: "Everyone with technical knowledge of computers knows that just because a hacker used an IP address in China, the attack was not necessarily launched by a Chinese hacker."
US diplomats sought to reach out to the Chinese public by briefing bloggers in China on Friday. They held a similar meeting during Barack Obama's visit in November.

Stolen Bases Hurt Power; Alvarez Continues Rehab
Sunday's action in the Pirates' minor league organization began with an afternoon game in Charleston. The GCL Pirates have the day off.
Greensboro Grasshoppers 10, West Virginia Power 2
[ box ]
Three late-inning rallies gave the Grasshoppers the advantage over the Power this afternoon. Power starter Colton Cain pitched 4 innings and allowed 3 runs on 4 hits and a walk. The first 'Hoppers' run came in the 1st inning, on a double and an RBI single. Cain allowed only one base runner over the next two innings (hit batter), then gave up a 2-run homer in the 4th, to give Greensboro a 3-0 lead. Cain and C Kawika Emsley-Pai had two bases stolen against them in the 1st inning (one runner, two bases), and a double steal in the 4th. Kevin Decker replaced Cain to begin the 5th, and retired the side in order. In the 6th, Decker gave up 2 runs on a single, a walk, a sacrifice fly, and an RBI single. There were three stolen bases in that inning. Decker was still pitching in the 7th, when 3 more runs scored. Three more stolen bases contributed to the scoring, which also included two walks, a sacrifice fly, an RBI double and an RBI single. The Grasshoppers had an 8-0 lead.
The Power batters went down in order in the first two innings, and had only 3 base runners over the first 6 innings. Emsley-Pai led off the 3rd with a single lined into left field, but he was thrown out trying to steal second base. 1B Chase Lyles singled in the 5th and was left on base. SS Kevin Mort singled to open the 6th, and was erased in a double play. 2B Andy Vasquez singled to lead off the 7th, and he was also out in a double play, when CF Mel Rojas lined out to first and Vasquez was easily doubled off. Finally, after that double play, three consecutive hits pushed the first Power run across the plate. DH Cole White and Lyles hit back-to-back singles, and LF Rogelios Noris drove in White with a line drive double into left.
Justin Ennis pitched the 8th inning, and gave the 'Hoppers another 2-run homer, following a single. The Power got one of the runs back in the 8th. With two outs, Vasquez was hit by a pitch, and Rojas walked. White lined a single into center field, and Vasquez came around from second to score. Jason Townsend pitched a scoreless top of the 9th, and the Power also went down in order in the bottom of the 9th.
Homers By Marte, Rodriguez, Cunningham, And Rojas
Catching up with the action for the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates for Thursday…. several home runs
Trenton Thunder 8 , Altoona Curve 6
[ box ]
A 3-run homer by CF Starling Marte and a solo blast by SS Josh Rodriguez were not enough to get past the Thunder.
The Curve got the game started with a run in the top of the 1st on singles by RF Andrew Lambo and C Tony Sanchez, plus a fielding error by the Trenton center fielder, allowing Lambo to score. Trenton came back with 4 runs in the bottom of the inning, on a walk, two singles, and two doubles, for a 4-1 lead. The Curve took the lead back in the top of the 2nd, when 1B Matt Curry and 3B Greg Picart both singled, and Marte drove them in with his 5th home run of the season. That tied the game, but the tie did not last long. Five singles in the bottom of the 2nd brought in 3 runs for the Thunder, who were back on top, 7-4.
Starter Aaron Pribanic gave up a single in the 3rd, then gave up an unearned run in the 4th on a fielding error by Picart, a single, scoring on a double play. That made Pribanic responsible for 8 runs (7 earned) on 11 hits and a walk in his 5 innings of work. Matt McSwain took over to begin the 6th. He gave up a single in the 6th, but erased that runner with a double play, and then gave up a double and a walk in the 7th, but left those runners on base. Anthony Claggett pitched a scoreless 9th, allowing a single. That runner moved up to second base on a throwing error by Rodriguez, but was out in a fielder's choice run-down between second and third.
Rodriguez led off the Curve part of the 6th with his solo homer. LF Quincy Latimore followed the homer with a walk, and Curry singled, moving Latimore to third. Curry was thrown out trying to steal second base, but Picart's single drove in Latimore to give the Curve their final run.
Alvarez Starts With GCL Pirates
The Pirates have optioned SS Pedro Ciriaco to AAA Indianapolis. This opens a roster spot for OF Alex Presley, who will be officially called up on Tuesday (the Pirates have a day off on Monday). UPDATE: Presley has officially been called up, and will join the Pirates in Toronto.
Also promoted: pitcher Rinku Singh has been promoted from the GCL Pirates to State College. Singh has pitched a total of 15 innings so far this season. Eleven of those came on 3 appaearances with the DSL team. He gave up 3 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks, with 7 strikeouts in the Dominican. In one appearance last week with the GCL Pirates, Singh pitched 4 scoreless innings and allowed only one hit, while striking out 5 batters. Singh pitched in one game for the Spikes at the end of the 2010 season. He went 2 innings in that game, and gave up only one hit, with one strikeout.
Monday's game action:
GCL Pirates 1, GCL Phillies 0…. for 1.5 innings
[ box ]
3B Pedro Alvarez made his first official rehab start this afternoon. It didn't last long, though that had nothing to do with him: the game was suspended due to rain after just 1.5 innings. Alvarez was the Pirates' lead-off batter. He got one trip to the plate, in which he grounded out to second base. CF Willy Garcia was the only batter on either team to reach base, when he blasted a solo homer in the top of the 2nd. Pirates' starter Luis Heredia pitched to just 3 batters in the bottom of the first — two strikeouts and a pop out to C Joey Schoenfeld.
Leach's First Win In Marauders' Hit-Fest
The Pirates have signed 23rd round draft pick RHP Jordan Cooper to a contract. He had been a pitcher for Kentucky, and that experience might get him a start at State College. Here is a list of all the 2011 draft picks, with notations for which ones have signed.
Friday's game action:
Harrisburg Senators 2, Altoona Curve 0
[ box ]
A 2-run homer in the bottom of the 10th broke the scoreless tie for the only scoring in this pitching duel. Jeff Locke pitched 6 scoreless frames for the Curve, scattering 3 singles and a walk over his first 3 innings. The he retired the Senators in order for the next 3 innings. He threw 78 pitches (48 strikes) in those 6 innings. Bryan Morris pitched a scoreless 7th, allowing just a single. That base runner moved to second base on a balk, which started an argument by Altoona manager PJ Forbes — and resulted in Forbes being ejected. Michael Dubee, back with the Curve after some time with Indianapolis, gave up a lone single in the 8th, and Noah Krol allowed a single and a walk in the 9th, but both kept the Senators from scoring.
But the Curve weren't scoring either. They pounded out 7 hits, including two by SS Jordy Mercer. Mercer's triple i n the 7th was the only extra-base hit for the Curve, and the only time that a Curve base runner reached as far as third base. RF Andrew Lambo also walked twice. CF Starling Marte opened the game with a single, but was thrown out at second after Mercer's strikeout. 1B Matt Curry and LF Brad Chalk both singled in the 2nd, but Curry was picked off second base, and Chalk was thrown out trying to steal second. 2B Brock Holt singled in the 4th, and pinch-hitter Anthony Norman singled in the 10th and stole second base.
Latimore Leads Curve To Win; Spikes Win Their First
Less action than usual for a Sunday afternoon — the Bradenton Marauders are still on their All-Star break, and the game between the West Virginia Power and the Lakewood BlueClaws was cancelled due to wet grounds at Appalachian Power Park. The South Atlantic League All-Star Game will be held on Tuesday.
Altoona Curve 4, Harrisburg Senators 1
[ box ]
LF Quincy Latimore and RF Anthony Norman posted 2 hits each, and Latimore scored 3 of the Curve's 4 runs as Altoona took the win. Latimore's first hit was a double lined into left field in the bottom of the 2nd inning. He scored on Norman's single. The two combined again in the 4th inning for another run. With two outs, Latimore walked, then Norman singled into right field. When the Harrisburg right fielder made a throwing error, Latimore had the chance to round third and score. Latimore homered to lead off the 7th inning, and at that point, he was responsible for all of the Curve runs.
With former Pirate farmhand Jimmy Barthmaier on the mound for Harrisburg in the 8th, CF Starling Marte began the inning with a single. Marte advanced to second base on a ground out by 3B Jeremy Farrell, then he stole third base. C Tony Sanchez's RBI single up the middle brought Marte in to score the final run for the Curve.
Phillip Irwin made the start for the Curve and pitched 6 scoreless innings. He hit a batter in the top of the 1st, then retired the next 13 Harrisburg batters, until he gave up a lone single in the 5th. He allowed a single and a walk in the 6th, for the biggest threat he had faced, but left both on base to end the inning. Bryan Morris relieved Irwin to begin the 7th inning. He put the side down in order in that inning, but gave up an unearned run in the 8th. A throwing error by Sanchez, a double, and an RBI ground out brought in the run. Morris allowed a single in the 9th, but did not allow another run to score. Irwin won his first game of the season, and Morris earned his third Save.

We are close to the completion of Iggy the Farm Animals and the Thief, the sequel to Iggy the Owl and the Blue Tree. For me it's always a little sad to finish a project. I think about the characters and work on the illustrations everyday. And when it reaches the end I need to close the sketchbook and move on. But, the best part of it all and what out weighs the sadness is that we get to share this project with all of you.
This story was so much fun to create. It's a tale about Iggy finding a thief in his very own home! But, will he find him? And if he does, what will he do then?
Here is a preview of one of my favorite scenes of the story. Here Iggy confronts the rat and accuses him of being the thief.
We are shooting to have this book out by the end of August…so stay tune and we hope you will enjoy it!
The Return of Iggy!
Here is a sneak preview of the sequel to Iggy, the Owl and the Blue Tree. More to come…

I am currently watching a series on yahoo called "The Failure Club". It's about a group of Individuals who are trying to overcome their fear and pursue their dream in a year span.
Morgan Spurlock ( 'Super Size Me' and '30 Days') brings this incredible series to life on Yahoo.
I have to say – it's inspiring to watch other people's journey and of course who doesn't have struggles? The number one question – if you have the chance to pursue a dream and know that you will not fail – what would it be? What is it that's stopping you to making it happen? What is that one thing you would do to change your life?
I encourage you to watch these videos. Fantastic show!

We are grateful for the support we have received and continue to receive today from our family and friends.

Where Does Inspiration Come From?

It's amazing where inspiration comes from when you don't expect it. My sister and I have been creating children's book for the past few years and it always amaze me how these stories come to life. Yesterday, on our way home from work, Julia narrates her notes for the next children's book. I couldn't believe she had the entire story laid out so I asked her what made you think of it. Her answer to me was, I saw a picture of a robot. That was it! She was inspired by a picture she did not look for but stumbled upon. Our advice for those of you who look to find inspiration is, don't be discourage when you are stumped – step outside of your routine and you will find it! Stay tune for our next book! We don't have the title yet but that doesn't matter, we have the story!

For the past year, or so, we've been working on a new kids site. My sister, Julia and I (Judith) teamed up with a couple of crazy smart friends to built this wonderful kids site to bring cool books and other learning materials to your home. We've learned really quickly this isn't any easy task. It's been crazy for the past few months trying to balance our day jobs and family times while creating and self publishing our books. All I can ask is bare with us, it's going to be amazing!
Today's task is to figure out the animation for our mini video. Any tips? I've been watching tutorials online on how to create animation with Photoshop. It is the coolest thing!
By the way, this is me (at work during my lunch break) pretending to know what I'm doing~

Willie Trawick, manager of post office operations for Alabama, announced during a public hearing Thursday that the Bon Air post office window operations will change from Monday-Friday from 8-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-4 p.m. to Monday-Friday from 8-10 a.m. Saturday hours will remain 7-10 a.m.
"That's better than closing," Mayor Bobby Tidwell said.
All Bon Air residents receive their mail by post office boxes in the lobby.
Trawick said the purpose of the public hearing was to discuss results of a survey sent to Bon Air residents seeking their input regarding four options for the post office.
One option presented was the reduction in window operation hours and would not affect Saturday hours or access to delivery receptacles.
A second option was discontinued service at the post office and offered residents roadside mailbox delivery with carriers providing retail and other services.
The third option presented included discontinuance locally and determining a suitable alternative location operated by a contractor. By establishing a Village Post Office, local businesses that meet USPS criteria would contract with the department to offer services.
The VPO plan called for establishing services in convenience stores, local businesses, libraries or other locations that would manage the services. The USPS pointed out that such an arrangement would provide services that offered convenience, longer hours and the continuation of post office boxes, forever stamps and prepaid priority mail flat rate envelopes.
A final option was to discontinue services locally and provide post office box and services at a nearby post office.
Bon Air survey results indicated 89 percent of responders favored the realignment of hours and 11 percent favored having mail delivered to their homes.
The surveys are part of a two-year plan to be implemented in September 2014. According to the USPS, changes would result in estimated savings of a half billion dollars annually to the Postal Service.
Recent revenue shortfalls forced the USPS to search for ways to reduce expenses.
For now, residents said the reduced hours at the Bon Air Post Office seem to be a reasonable solution.
CAVCO representative Mayhar Hall said the new hours will allow the company to conduct business as usual. "That's good," Hall said.
CAVCO is a leading manufacturer in Bon Air, producing pipes and fittings.
Trawick also said he would have the department evaluate options for replacing "antique boxes" in the lobby. There are two types of boxes utilized, one a key-locked box and the other an antique dial combination lock.
Resident Starlen Jackson said he favored the secured locked boxes. "Most of our residents are elderly and not having a post office would be inconvenient," Jackson said. "Sometimes they have money that comes through."
Tidwell expressed concern about the outside pickup box. Trawick said the pickup hours will remain the same and will be picked up by the Childersburg post office.
Martha Goodwin, Childersburg post office officer in charge, has been assigned administrative responsibility for the Bon Air office. Goodwin said her responsibilities would include staffing the Bon Air office, the finances, and the delivery service.
Tidwell said the Bon Air post office has served as a community landmark for years.
"Bon Air was incorporated in 1932 and the post office has served the community at least since then," he said.
The local office employs one full-time and one part-time employee. When asked how the administrative changes would affect Bon Air, officer in charge Wendy Connell said, "As long as our customers are happy, this is our main goal."
Bon Air is one of 25 post offices in Alabama that will address mailing alternatives. Trawick said the Postal Service considered foot traffic at each location and the revenue generated by each post office in determining which offices will face the same decisions as Bon Air. Bon Air is the only post office in Talladega County that faced alternatives.
Trawick said the official decision by the Postal Service will be posted in the Bon Air lobby on Nov. 8

Champions Trophy: India beat West Indies to reach semi-finals
Champions Trophy, Group B, The Oval |
India 236-2 (39.1 overs) beat West Indies 233-9 (50 overs) by eight wickets |
Shikhar Dhawan hit his second century in a row as India crushed West Indies by eight wickets to book their place in the Champions Trophy semi-finals.
Ravindra Jadeja took 5-36 as the Windies were restricted to 233-9 despite Darren Sammy's 56 not out.
Dhawan led the reply with a superb unbeaten 102, bringing up his hundred with a six as India reached their target in just 39.1 overs.
India's victory at The Oval eliminates Pakistan from the tournament.
South Africa and the Windies, meanwhile, will go head to head on Friday for the second semi-final place.

India's commanding win followed on from an equally impressive triumph over the Proteas and established the World Cup holders as early front-runners in a tournament featuring the world's top eight sides.
In Jadeja and Ravinchandran Ashwin, they have two spinners who have exploited dry pitches to excellent effect and in Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, who put on 100 for the second game in succession, they have an opening pair in scintillating form.
India, their board's continued opposition to it notwithstanding, also made shrewd use of the Decision Review System as Jadeja overturned the umpire's original not-out decision to remove Marlon Samuels lbw and Dinesh Karthik successfully referred a dismissal for caught behind before teaming up with Dhawan to ease India home.
"It's one of our most pleasing performances in the last two years," Ashwin told BBC Sport. "We just controlled the game, broke the partnerships at crucial times and the batting performance from Rohit and Shikhar was brilliant."
Recalled to the India one-day side for the tournament after a two-year absence following the fastest debut Test century against Australia in March, Dhawan struck 114 off 94 balls in their opening game against South Africa in Cardiff and produced another batting exhibition here.
The left-hander cut and pulled powerfully and drove anything overpitched down the ground.
He was handed a lifeline when he top-edged a pull shot off Dwayne Bravo on 41 and was dropped by Kemar Roach at fine leg.
Test Match Special analysis
"What a way to finish. That is a cakewalk, complete domination from India. Early on in the day West Indies were 103-1, but India were never in any danger. They look a complete side and are now very much firm favourites to win the tournament."
Sharma was almost as fluent at the other end as he breezed to a half-century with seven fours. And it came as a surprise when he fell in tame fashion, caught down the leg side off Sunil Narine.
Virat Kohli looked in sparkling touch before he was bowled by a quicker ball from Narine.
There was no danger of a wobble, however, as Karthik helped Dhawan steer India over the line, a brief rain delay at 204-2 proving little more than an inconvenience.
Dhawan reached three figures with a flourish by lifting Dwayne Bravo over third man for six before Karthik finished the job - and reached his half-century - with a cover drive to the fence in the following over.
The Windies, returning to the scene of their victory over England in the 2004 Champions Trophy final, had made a promising start with the bat - reaching 100-1 inside 20 overs - but faltered badly after the dismissal of Johnson Charles, who was trapped leg before by Jadeja's quicker ball for 60.
Marlon Samuels and Ramnaresh Sarwan followed in quick succession to Jadeja and the innings lost all its momentum as Darren Bravo ground out a painstaking 35 from 83 balls before he was stumped off Ashwin.
Kieron Pollard got off the mark with successive sixes but was soon bogged down by some tight bowling and was caught at long-on off Ishant Sharma for 22.
Tournament highest scores
114 - Shikhar Dhawan, India v South Africa
102* - Dhawan, India v West Indies
96* - Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan v WI
91 - Ian Bell, England v Australia
81 - Hashim Amla, SA v Pakistan
Narine and Ravi Rampaul offered scant resistance as Jadeja completed his five-wicket haul to seemingly end any chance of the Windies posting a competitive total.
Sammy's late salvo, which spanned 36 balls and featured five fours and four sixes in the last four overs, gave them heart going into the change of innings, only for Dhawan and Sharma's opening offensive to prove decisive.
After defeats in their opening two Group B games, Pakistan will not qualify for the last four even if they beat India at Edgbaston on Saturday.
On the Windies chances of reaching the semi-finals by beating South Africa, captain Dwayne Bravo said: "The destiny is in our own hands. We know it's not going to be an easy game but we have the talent in our group. I'll try to get my guys pumped up for it."

13th June 2013 - 19:36Surprised that supposedly best bowling attack has claimed only 3 wickets and getting hammered...match is not over yet but i guess result is quite predictable....
Comment number 101.
13th June 2013 - 19:00The funny thing is I agree with you that England's bowling is a long way from the finished article. On their day they can be great. But plenty of times they can be torn to shreds as can any bowling attack in ODI's. But anyone who claims that Jimmy Andersen isn't even 'good' needs a reality check.
Comment number 100.
13th June 2013 - 18:39@99 I never said Zaheer was in the Pakistan team. Or that he was better or worse than Anderson. Quite frankly-who cares? Zaheer is also not playing in this tournament hence its a fairly irrelevant example and your apparent hatred of Anderson seems a tad irrational and pointless.

H.S. football: Luers cruises to fourth straight title
The Associated Press November 23, 2012 11:22PM
Updated: December 25, 2012 6:24AM
INDIANAPOLIS — Fort Wayne Bishop Luers won its fourth consecutive 2A football championship with a 40-28 victory over Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter.
The Knights opened a 20-point lead in the second quarter then held off a fourth-quarter Raiders rally inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
Bishop Luers scored 27 straight points in the second quarter as Jaylon Smith rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with 150 yards and three touchdowns.

Corps Member Interview
I applied through college or university – interviewed at Teach for America.
Got contacted by on-campus recruiter and was told to apply. I applied, didn't have to do a phone interview, and was moved on to the final interview. The final interview was in group format and they gave us a scenario to discuss and a quick 5 minute teaching lesson. After that, we had one on one interviews with our group interview facilitators.
- Have you ever missed a deadline? Answer Question
I felt like I wanted to do something else with my career projectile and if I didn't have a great passion for TFA after the interview process then I probably shouldn't waste their time by not putting my all into being a corps member.

Interview DetailsYou apply online then you may be selected to a phone interview. Then you may be selected to the inperson group interview. I didnt get past the phone interview, though I hit t off with my interviewer. It's understandable--I know the interviewers don't have power over who can move on or not just because you had a great conversation. It was a behavioral interview, so be prepared for that. They really look for leaders and people who overcome hard situations who are good problem solvers and multitaskers.

I just bought these at the mountain. It was a super low light day and all I had were my bright sun goggles. I got the yellowgreenmirror lens in a sweet DCP graphic. I think I got an old style (palm trees and a treeline graphic) but they are great looking and fit over my helmet. Totally comfortable all day and never fogged up at all. I have a medium face and there were no pressure points. I forgot I was wearing them. Happy happy happy! Buy some!

I have had many pairs of Oakley sunglasses and these are my current favorite. I got the polished white w/gray lens. They are lightweight and very comfortable. Even comfortable when you put them up on your head when inside, no headache. I also have some Oakley Gascans in black and they are a little big for my face. These are a little less square and fit closer to your face. The lens is great in Colorado, both with the snow and sun.
Did I mention they are Made in USA? Hard to find much made here anymore...
I bought from Steep and Cheap (or was it Brociety?) they shipped super fast and I got a great deal. I can always order worry free because they will take stuff back. Great customer service.

I bought the 2009 version in True Black. They are actually black. I like my snowboard pants baggy but not so saggy that I can't walk right. I am 5'10" and 160# and I got the large ones. They fit over my knee brace. Very waterproof on wet spring chairlifts. They have the snap straps that keep them from dragging across the parking lot, sweet feature. There is only one cargo pocket, so they could use one on the other side, that's the only thing I would change.
Backcountry outlet has the best service, I buy a lot of my gear there (and Steep and Cheap)...very good customer service.

Styling text
So far, I haven't mentioned text styles. If I add a text style definition to the 'body' style, it will pass down to all the other boxes by 'inheritance'. If we add text style definitions to any of the boxes, they over-ride the inherited styles. Think of the body text style definition (if you provide one) as being the default for everything on the page - unless you tell it otherwise. I prefer to put a really oddball text style definition (say, red Courier) in the 'body' while I'm building the page just to check that everything is more appropriately defined - then I remove it before publishing.
The other way to define text styles is to enclose the text itself inside its own class or span div. Where you have more than one text style inside a box, you will need to do this anyway.

Important Information >>
Cramped for workshop space? JET® offers woodworkers a solution with its BENCH™ top line of power tools that includes 10- and 12 in. miter saws, 10 in. jobsite table saw, 10 in. band saw, 8- and 10 in. planer/jointers, and a 12 in. variable-speed drill press.
When radial arm saws gave way to miter saws, they became the must-have benchtop saw for woodworkers, remodelers and builders. Great for cutting molding and trim, JET's 12 in. Dual Bevel, Sliding Compound Miter Saw also is handy for cutting deck planks and posts. Fully featured, the 12 in. slider has a heavy-duty, 15-amp, 4,200 rpm motor with blade brake, a green Xacta Laser™ to follow the cut line and a die cast aluminum body for durability and easy transport. The saw features 10 preset miter stops from 45 to 60° and bevel stops at 0, 33.9, and 45° left/right.
The JET 10 in Jobsite Table Saw comes with a collapsible stand for easy storage and transport to the jobsite. Integrated rubber hand grips at the base of the saw provide support when moving the saw from stand to workbench. The saw's 15-amp, 4000 rpm motor with soft start provides plenty of power for handling a variety of stock. Its 25 in. ripping capacity to the right is supported by a telescoping extension wing. Equipped with riving knife to help prevent kickback, the saw also provides rear extension outfeed support for sheet goods or other large work pieces. Maximum depth of cut at 90° is 3-1/16 in. and 2-1/2 in. at 45°.

Another great workshop addition is a planer/jointer, and the JET 10 in. Planer/Jointer is a great two-in-one machine for edge and face work. This maximizes the work space in the shop by handling multiple tasks. The planer/jointer has a 13-amp, 9000 rpm motor and two high-speed-steel cutter knives that deliver 18,000 cuts per minute (cpm) and 19.5 feet per minute (fpm). Maximum cut width is 10 in. and maximum depth of cut is 1/8 in for the jointer and 0.08 in for the planer.
The jointer's table size measures 36 in. x 10-1/4 in., while the planers' table is 10-3/4 in. x 10-1/2 in. The planer table with outfeed is 19-3/4 in. x 10-1/2 in. The JET planer/jointer's fence is 4-7/8 in. H x 25 in. L and it tilts 0 to 45°. A rigid steel stand supports the machine and oversized ergonomic knobs provide ease of use and control.

Hey everyone, now that the Kessel Run is over I was hoping to get some feedback on the short league I was thinking of running at the local shop.
- 6 week schedule with "official" game nights every other week. This should help keep real life from getting in the way too much of league progress.
- Attempt to keep things balanced between Rebel/Imperial teams. If one side has more than the others then I'd try to get "volunteers" to balance things.
- Weeks 1, 3, & 5 are basic 100 point dog fights.
- Weeks 2, 4, & 6 are missions from the core set (1 of each)
- Each game night consists of 2 matches against your opponent (75 minute max each match) with 1 point being awarded for each victory. Squads are allowed to change each week based on what each player thinks they will need but are limited to 100 points.
- The side with the most overall victory points at the end of the week will receive a bonus point allowed to squad builds for the finals.
- Finals: Death Star Trench Run. The FLGS has 6x4 tables so I was thinking of setting a target (the exhaust port) at one of the short sides and designating a "trench" of 8" wide coming back off of that. There would be a designated entry zone from the midpoint to the far edge where fighters could drop in if desired but if not then they are assumed to fly over as if it was normal surface. The trench itself is limited to 1 rebel fighter & 2 imperials. Of course the rebel objective is to successfully launch a proton torpedo and hit the exhaust port. These torpedoes don't count against squad value but cannot be fired ship to ship. Normal torpedoes may be purchased as part of your squad and used ship to ship per standard rules. Imperial victory is to kill all the rebels before this happens. The other non standard rule for the Imps is an assumed massive supply of academy pilots. To represent this if they ever get below 2 ships then a new ship will spawn on the imperial player's side.
- I'd collect a nominal fee ($5-10) at the start from everyone and all money is given back in the form of gift cards to the FLGS to the winners of each trench run. Depending on the number of players I might limit the number of people that play in the finals and take the top 2 or 3 from each side based on victory how many victory points they accumulated throughout the season (tie breaker would strength of schedule, then average squad size used)
I'm not really sure how to handle matches that have no clear winner. Maybe up the victory points to 2 total and if victory conditions aren't met then each side gets 1? Also, this game isn't designed for play with minimal turns so I'm thinking that once in the trench slight adjustements to orientation (no more than 30 degrees) are allowed to keep from drifting into the walls.
