Seaweed diet can give you the shakes
Comment on this storyLondon - Victoria Beckham is a fan and so is Britney.
But there's something a bit fishy about the latest slimming superfood.
Apparently, bladderwrack contains so much iodine that eating it increases your metabolic rate and helps you burn more calories.
Well, it seems to have worked for Posh - she's supposed to take hers in seaweed and algae shakes.
Britney simply eats the plant raw. Yuck!
You can also boil it, steam it or simmer it in water and drink it as a tea.
If you can't stomach that, there's now a diet pill that contains it. Quantrim costs £34.95 (about R420) for 100 tablets, but has to be combined with a diet and exercise regime to work.
A fishy tale indeed... - Daily Mail

McCain: NH win sealed Romney's GOP nomination
Mitt Romney will go head-to-head with current President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, said Meghan McCain.
The political columnist and daughter of famed Arizona senator John McCain appeared on News-Talk 92.3 KTAR's Mac & Gaydos Show Tuesday to talk about the election and the New Hampshire primary results.
"Charming is really the word I would use to describe Romney," said McCain, who spent time with Romney, his family and his staff during the presidential election in 2008 when Romney supported her father's campaign.
In McCain's opinion, Romney is a capable leader who has the potential to remove Obama from the White House.
According to McCain, the GOP nomination race is all but over.
"It will be done in a matter of weeks," said said, shortly after Romney was predicted the winner of the latest primary.

Ta-daaah! Bunneh! Bunneh! Bunneh –
…We actually thought you would be more disapproving. (head tilt)
"Uffa, the nodding bunny. Thanks," -Mark C. Via YouTube.
Cuteporter Allie S. ("I need to go poop marshmallows and sunshine now") spotted this story on CNN.com, about Joshua Bisnar, an active-duty Navy Hospital Corpsman. It seems he pulled off a big-time ResQte! Quoting Josh on Reddit:
"I live in Camp Pendleton, CA. As I was raking the volleyball court, I found a small hole with 4 tiny rabbits in it. I grabbed a box, put a few old shirts into it and picked up the bunnies. I researched how to raise them and what to feed them. I made a nice box for them to live in and bottle fed them until I could ween them to eat the local foods. After a couple months I brought them to a wildlife rescue because they were starting to jump out of their box. It was a lot of hard work but I loved the bunnies."
You know, to hide "some restrictions" that "may apply," or a list of nasty side effects as long as your arm, or that the amazing doorbuster 75% off special is only available Monday morning between 5:45 and 5:47 in our Lima, Peru location.

"This is a photo of my adopted bunny Peanut after she ate a really, really juicy carrot. She's the sweetest! I hope you share this photo with the people of the world, they deserve it." -Amy M., Owner Spiral Diner.
*Not that Apple the other Apple.
Forgot your green lip gloss? Don't let it ruin your Bunday. Keep your lips looking Bunday fresh by nibbling on a bit of parsley. Repeat as necessary until your lips have that garnished glow.
"Holland Lop, Lord Cucuface. I just gave him a bit of parsley as a treat and he went crazy on it. Right as he finished, I took this photo of him using my cell phone." -James T.
Horrors! The evil Doctor Doggenstein has threatened the world carrot supply! If I'm going to sneak into his secret underground lair, I'll need a disguise!
It's Smudge the Bun again, from Helen T.!
Mmm-Mmm, that banana was Mmm-Mmm leep-smacking Mmm-Mmm good. Gonna squeeze every last drop of Mmm-Mmm banana goodness out of eet! Mmm-Mmm. Taa-Daa!
Dustie, licking her lips after eating some banana via YouTube.
And I was about to ask for some marinara sauce and a glass of Cabernet!
Anttu writes: "I prepared some apples using a apple corer/peeler/slicer for the bunny (wild European hare, to be exact) that comes to my backyard every now and then for a snack. The result looks a bit like in an Italian restaurant."

For the times when the open road calls, we can help you plan the next step in your travels.
Share your stories or read first hand reviews from fellow travellers.
From fine dining, to art, to history, Barcelona offers a little bit of everything. And, the hotels in Barcelona are as varied as the people. You can find everything from cheap Barcelona hotels to luxurious 5-star accommodations.
CaixaForum: This impressive private collection of contemporary art is housed in a former factory building and features constantly changing exhibits. The works are in a frequent rotation, and temporary exhibits are plentiful; no two visits to the galleries are the same. Included in the permanent collection are works by Antoni Tapies and Miquel Barcelo.
If you love art, travel back in time and follow the footsteps that Picasso took as a young boy. His family home has since been demolished, but you can spend hours strolling through the streets, taking in all of the sights, and imagine how they all influenced a young Picasso. If you want to learn more about Picasso's Barcelona upbringing, head to the Museo Picasso de Barcelona.
Museu Picasso: One of Spain's most famous sons, Picasso's influence on the world of art is undeniable. At the Museu Picasso - Barcelona's most visited museum - you'll discover the artist's works dating back to his earliest days. There's a particular emphasis on his famed Blue Period, impressionist-influenced works, and some of his later pieces from the 1950s.
Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona: Modern art lovers will be dazzled by the ever-expanding collection of contemporary works from the best Catalan, Spanish, and international artists. The exhibits are in constant flux, though some established names are featured prominently. You will be likely to see plenty of pieces by artists like Joan Brossa, Paul Klee, Ferran Garcia Sevilla, and Alexander Calder.
There's plenty to see outside the museums, too. And as you walk through the streets, be sure to take note of the architecture. Much of it was designed by the famous Antonio Gaudi. You don't even need to go inside to be impressed; the buildings in Barcelona are impressive enough just to walk past! Or stop by the Magic Fountain in Montjuic for a display of light, colour, music and movement on a lovely summer evening.
If you want to eat like the natives do, you will need to have at least one oyster before you leave. In fact, Barcelona's restaurants are home to some of the world's best seafood, so it's easy to dine on a quality catch of the day. But be sure to save room for dessert!
If you head over to Papabubble, you can watch cooked candy being rolled right before your eyes. Or, you can wander over to La Granja - a famous milk bar - for a cup of hot chocolate that simply can't be beat.
Sports lovers rejoice! Barcelona is a city that lives for sport and it has a proud tradition of professional and amateur athletic excellence. Obviously, football is king, but there are plenty of other activities going on around the city, away from the pitch.
The 1995 Summer Olympics gave Barcelona's sports venues a huge boost, and more than a quarter of the city's population report that physical activity is a part of their regular routine. Public squares, parks, and beaches are popular spots for exercise; Barcelona's City Council also works hard to promote all levels of sport for all citizens.
Spectators - you are sure to find the perfect place to show your team colours. The famous Conde de Godo International Trophy tennis tournament takes place here every April, and the Montmelo Formula 1 Grand Prix is held in May. There are countless football matches to take in, too.
If you'd rather break a bit of a sweat, there's ample opportunity to participate in sport while on holiday in Barcelona. Sailing and water sports are exceedingly popular because of the city's close proximity to the beach, while the mountains are home to some of the world's best skiing. For the truly ambitious, the city's annual spring marathon draws participants from all over the world. There are also many bike rental agencies, giving you an opportunity to see the sights from a two-wheeled perspective.
For those who love a good celebration, Barcelona does not disappoint. From spring to autumn, the city moves from one party to the next - music festivals, cultural fairs, street parties, and more.
Sónar Electro Fest: Held in June, this is Europe's largest electro-music festival. Locations and exact dates change each year, but if you can catch it you'll hear all the latest techno beats from some of the continent's biggest names.
Festa Major de Gràcia: This August street party is the biggest, loudest, and longest in Barcelona. More than a dozen streets in Gracia are closed and decorated, as residents compete for the most imaginative decor. Over nine days, visitors pour into the precinct to enjoy live bands, snacks, drinks, and much more.
Festes de la Mercè: The end of summer is marked by this authentic Catalan festival, complete with parades of giant heads and fire-breathing dragons, as well as some of the city's best live music performances. There's a fun run, a swimming race across the harbour, and a bevy of cultural events.
Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona: In November, Barcelona warms up with the heat of great jazz. Most of the month is dominated by performances from some of the world's best jazz musicians, held at various locations throughout the city. The local bars feature great music played by the native talent.
Good Friday: The celebration of Easter begins with the floats and hooded penitents that make up the dramatic Good Friday procession from Esglesia de Sant Agusti.
1. Scale La Sagrada Familia. Spain's most visited site isn't even finished, but that doesn't keep visitors away. Part of the charm of this landmark is that it's constantly changing and growing. Lifts and stairs take you to the top of the building's several towers, where you can take in gorgeous city views and unparalleled glimpses of the structure below.
2. Stroll along La Rambla. The tree-lined boulevard at La Rambla is a popular spot to walk, day or night. The roadway is blocked to vehicle traffic, so you're likely to see a variety of entertainment and spontaneous performances as you walk. From street performers and flamenco dancers to fire-eaters and human statues, La Rambla has something for everyone.
3. Take a lesson in art history at the Museu Nacional d'art de Catalunya (MNAC). Focused on Catalan art from medieval frescos to Gaudi chairs, the MNAC is an education in Barcelona's rich artistic history. The highlight of this ambitious collection is the Romanesque frescos and other pieces that were salvaged from ancient medieval churches in the 1920s. These works are now preserved in reproductions of the church interiors where they were originally commissioned.
4. Wander the fragrant gardens at Montjuïc. It's no secret that Barcelona is a loud city, but there's a way to escape all the hustle and bustle right inside the city limits. The beautiful and serene gardens at Montjuic are home to several museums, which are perfect for spending a quiet afternoon. You'll also find breathtaking city views and ocean vistas; it's not uncommon to find visitors lounging in the grounds or catching a siesta under a shady tree.
5. Marvel at the eccentric Modernista works at L'Eixample. Keep your eyes sharp in this part of town, as there's no telling when an architectural gem will capture your attention. There are too many whimsical and peculiar building facades to count here, reflecting the lasting influence of the early 20th century's Modernista movement.

text: 2012 Subaru XV Test Drive A new compact crossover coming to America in 2013 makes its debut in Europe. By Kevin A. Wilson Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 5 of 5 Bottom Line: If Subaru can hold to its anticipated sub-$20,000 base price target, it could do well with the XV Crosstrek in America. There are lots of competitors in this segment, some of which are more fun to drive (Mazda CX-5) and some of which come loaded with features at low prices (think Hyundai and Kia). But standard all-wheel drive isnt commonplace, and its a real Subaru strength. And thanks to careful attention to weight (the XV is only about 100 pounds heavier than a similar Impreza) and the latest 2.0-liter engine, fuel economy numbers could be a strong attraction, too. We think the diesel and six-speed combination we drove in Europe is more appealing than anything Americans will be offered, but it would be 10 to 15 percent pricier in a segment where a few bucks matter, and Subaru doesnt seem eager to pioneer the technology when it already sells all the cars it can build for this market. With other new models like the BRZ set to launch, the U.S. marketing arm of the company wasnt in a rush to add the XV at all, content to let Europe have it first.

Smart enough to work at Google?
Comment on this storyAre You Smart Enough To Work At Google?
By William Poundstone
Rating out of five: ***
Well, are you smart enough to work at Google? Try these questions: If you were shrunk to the size of a penny and thrown in a blender how would you escape? What comes next in this series: SSS, SCC, C, SC? When there's a wind blowing, does a round-trip by plane take more or less time?
Here, William Poundstone reveals some of the real interview questions that Google uses and explores the thinking behind them. With around 130 applicants for each job, it can afford to be choosy.
But it's not just Google that forces applicants through intellectual hoops: Poundstone describes how "supertough interview questions" are becoming mainstream as high unemployment compels employers to be "hyperselective".
That makes this book, for all its entertaining puzzles, a rather depressing reflection on our current circumstances. - The Independent on Sunday

Elected School Board Campaign Gains Momentum
P4T and other groups across the city are working to get an elected school board referendum on the February ballot in each of the city's 50 wards. We launched the campaign Oct. 13, outside McNair School on the city's west side, a fitting backdrop for the campaign because the school was "turned around" last year over the strong objection of parents, students and school staff.
We need volunteers in every ward to help make this campaign a success. Petitions are due to the Chicago Board of Elections in mid-November, so we're organizing a big push for election day on Nov. 4. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up for a ward. Even a few hours will be a big help.

This video series is based on a manga comic strip with the main story taking place during the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese are portrayed as cats, with all various nations represented with different animals. As an example, Americans are Rabbits, Vietnamese are Cats while Arabs and other middle eastern people are Camels. Judging from the trailer, this may become a huge hit; only time will tell.

VIDEO: Council questions use of Mayor's personal security detail Mayor Williams' security detail came under question at Wednesday's budget hearing for the Wilmington Police Department. Police Chief Christine Dunning says the number of patrol officers in the mayor's security detail has been scaled back from its original total of five officers. But she notes that the actual number of patrolmen being used for that purpose can vary. "There might be one, and there might be an event where there's a lot of people, and you may have up to three," Dunning says. Dunning says the security detail has already incurred more than $25,000 in overtime and comp time costs. During the budget hearing, she noted that the projected cost of the detail for Fiscal Year 2014 would be around $49,000. The police department has proposed a budget of $54 million in FY 2014. Those funds are taken from the department's Special Events Overtime allocations. She also noted that those units assigned to the detail also provide additional security at the City/County building. The department's presentation states that during business hours one officer is permanently assigned to the Mayor's office while a second officer is "pulled on a rotating basis." "There was some concerns about his security along with security inside the City Council building, especially with the recent courthouse shooting that we had," she says. Councilman Mike Brown, who heads the Public Safety committee, voiced his opposition to the number of patrol officers being used in the security detail. "The Mayor wants to have security personnel, one person, that's fine. Take the other four and put them back in a specialized unit or back on patrol," Brown says. Williams' Chief of Staff, John Matlusky defended the additional role for members of the detail. "There are incidents in the building, there have also been some situations where the officers have been called to constituent services and other departments," Matlusky says. |

Nokia ruled the smartphone market globally with symbian for ages. I have a 5 year old symbian phone (N95) and it does everything (gps, nice camera, java, flash, accelerated 3D graphics, wifi, multitasking, etc, etc, etc).
It was only in the US where symbian didn't have much acceptance, but if you consider the global market share then nokia was the ruler of the smartphone market until 2010 Q4 when android surpassed Symbian as the most common operating system in smartphones.
MeeGo was never a player in the smartphone arena and Maemo was just a niche player.
Too bad the borged nokia ditched symbian too

In Nite Jewel's clip for "One Second Of Love," the title track from Ramona Gonzalez's new album, some sort of blank-faced pagan religious sect invades a Real Housewives-style dinner party to run through a choreographed dance routine. Then a drag queen has a dance-off with a goat-masked demon priest, and various party guests puke up weird things. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and it's pretty great. Delaney Bishop directs, and Gonzalez appears to play two different roles. Watch the video below.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Levi's Engineered twisted jeans, the London design studio Neighbour commissioned artist Wilfrid Wood to create three characters—"slightly twisted," according to the firm—to represent the brand. (They'll star in a new campaign and appear in stores and window displays throughout the year.) Our favorite: "Bernie" (pictured).

GEO ordered to secure or demolish building on St. Sava site
BY KAREN CAFFARINI Post-Tribune correspondent March 8, 2014 1:22PM
Updated: April 11, 2014 6:15AM
HOBART — A spokesman for the GEO Group said the company will fully comply with Hobart's regulations and demolish the building on the former St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church site that it now owns.
The spokesman, Pablo Paez, wrote in an email that he doesn't know the exact date the building will be demolished, but "we will be moving as fast as possible to comply with the city."
City officials had sent letters to the Florida-based builder and operator of prisons and immigrant detention centers, stating it must either secure or demolish the building that has been ravaged by vandals and scrappers through the years.
Mayor Brian Snedecor reported the city's action at this week's City Council meeting upon request from Tom DuBois, a Hobart resident and active member of Concerned Citizens of Hobart, which opposes the construction of an immigrant center on the former church property.
DuBois said concern about the safety of the property near 49th and Liverpool was raised at one of the group's meetings that was attended by the mayor.
Building Official Mike Hannigan said GEO told him the company is willing to either secure or demolish the building.
"They'll get prices for both. Of course, if they plan to build there they'll need to demolish the building anyway," Hannigan said.
Paez told the Post-Tribune the company continues to have no immediate plan or timeline to go through any zoning or planning processes to develop the property.
Hannigan said it would be far less costly to secure the building by boarding up the places where the windows and doors once were.
Hannigan said the company will have to make a decision on the building by May 7, when they're ordered to appear before the Board of Public Works if they haven't already complied
Hannigan said the building has been unsecure for years, long before GEO took over ownership.
"There was a big storm four years ago that caved in half the roof on the small building. It couldn't be used anymore," he said.
He said he had sent letters to St. Sava saying the building needing to be secured, and it was boarded up.
Since then, Hannigan said, scrappers have come in and stolen electrical wiring, copper pipes and set the upstairs on fire. He said they eventually took all the plywood and aluminum from the building and left every window and door open.

We offer a wide range of divan headboards for sale in the UK. Our most popular are the simple upholstered headboards in a velour fabric, but for the master bedroom you may want a more striking, substantial headboard - check out our traditional or contemporary headboard designs in metal, leather and wood. They will complement most bedroom furniture collections.
Quite often the same design of headboard can come in a choice of finishes, eg nickel and brass, or ivory and black. If you can't see what you are looking for, phone us and we can try and find it for you.
All our UK headboards are designed to fit British standard size divan beds from a small 2ft 6 single to a super king size bed.
Most headboards can be adjusted for height and the usual practice is to adjust the headboard to rest on the top surface of the mattress. Some headboards have legs that sit on the bedroom floor and in these cases no adjustment is required.
The headboard bolt fixings on a divan bed are most often covered by the divan fabric. If there are no markings to show where the bolt fixings are, you need to feel with your fingers for the bolt holes. It sounds hard but normally they are easily found and you simply make a hole in the fabric at that point.
The actual headboard bolts come with the divan. Do not lose these bolts the bolts between different bed manufacturers are not often interchangeable.
The purpose of headboards for beds may not be obvious at first. It can initially seem that they are just accessories for aesthetic purposes and do not really play any role in getting a good, sound night's sleep.
While headboards certainly do affect the appearance of a bed and, by extension, the entire room, they are actually functional as well as fashionable.
The British Snoring and Sleep Apnoea Association has explained that sleeping flat on one's back can exacerbate sleeping problems. Sleeping supine can cause the soft palate and tongue to drop back in the throat, blocking the airway. Theoretically, it would seem that it might help not to sleep on one's back, although this is not usually practical.
But a supportive, comfortable headboards for beds can certainly make a difference when you are sitting up, either to read or because you are trying not to lie on your back.
Padded headboards are more comfortable to lean against as you look at your book or watch television. You may decide a darker colour is best to hide any marks that you might leave.
Headboards may come as part of a bed frame, but if you sleep on a divan you can choose the style yourself and even change it from time to time if you like. Be careful to check the dimensions of your bed, though, since headboards are not made on a one-size-fits-all basis.
Choose Archers
Choosing a headboard may seem like a daunting task but Archers can make it easy and help you find the style and colour that will suit your bedroom while propping you up comfortably in bed.
The Sleep Council recommends that you replace your mattress and bed at the same time, since they are supposed to work together to support your body and the frame will become worn with time even if it does not seem to be. Bed headboards, however, can be bought at any point in a bed's life span, so do not hesitate to take advantage of the wide choice offered by Archers. Buy Today.

Westcare: We Care > Services > Transitional Services > Lead Tenant Program
The Lead Tenant program is shared housing program with a difference. The program offers placements for up to two young people in a house, providing them with the opportunity to move closer to independence with the support of up to two Lead Tenants. Lead Tenants provide appropriate role-modelling through engagement in education, employment, self-care, communication and positive behaviour. Lead Tenants are there to establish positive and meaningful relationships with the young people, taking opportunities to develop the young person's social and recreational skills.
The program is designed to encourage young people to engage in their own progress towards being responsible members of the community and ultimately their positive independence. Therefore, young people in the program are expected to be involved in a 'day program', being either school or work. They are expected to be involved in duties within their place of residence, such as cooking and cleaning.
Whilst in the program, each young person is assigned a Case Manager at Westcare. During this time they will also liaise with a Youth Housing Support Worker who assists the young person with looking for housing once they are ready to move into independent living. With case management-support focused on preparing young people for independence, up to six young people can be placed in the Lead Tenant program at any time. The program offers young people opportunities to develop a range of living skills by running classes, including cooking classes. The program also promotes the importance of healthy recreational activities and runs programs including art classes for both Lead Tenants and young people. These programs and activities allow the Lead Tenants to form relationships with young people and promote their sense of being connected and engagement with their community.
The program continues to grow and evolve, as the most recent property in Kurunjang will be ready for occupancy in early 2012. The Lead Tenant program is an important part of Westcare's services and provides young people with an appropriate pathway into independence. The program sits alongside the TSAY program and utilises Westcare partnerships with housing networks to ensure that young people are receiving the best service available when it come to transitioning them into independence.
'I feel so happy that I have somewhere safe and happy to live, with guys who care about me'.

Schwarzkopf, who led 1991 Operation Desert Storm, dies at 78THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 28,2012WASHINGTON Retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who topped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Husseins forces out of Kuwait in 1991 but kept a low public profile in controversies over the second Gulf War against Iraq, died Thursday. He was 78.
Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, Fla., where he had lived in retirement, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as Stormin Norman for a notoriously explosive temper.
He served in his last military assignment in Tampa as commander-in-chief of U.S. Central Command, the headquarters responsible for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly 20 countries from the eastern Mediterranean and Africa to Pakistan.
Schwarzkopf became CINC-Centcom in 1988 and when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait three years later to punish it for allegedly stealing Iraqi oil reserves, he commanded Operation Desert Storm, the coalition of some 30 countries organized by President George H.W. Bush that succeeded in driving the Iraqis out.
Gen. Norm Schwarzkopf, to me, epitomized the duty, service, country creed that has defended our freedom and seen this great nation through our most trying international crises, Bush said in a statement. More than that, he was a good and decent man and a dear friend.
At the peak of his postwar national celebrity, Schwarzkopf a self-proclaimed political independent rejected suggestions that he run for office, and remained far more private than other generals, although he did serve briefly as a military commentator for NBC.
While focused primarily in his later years on charitable enterprises, he campaigned for President George W. Bush in 2000 but was ambivalent about the 2003 invasion of Iraq, saying he doubted victory would be as easy as the White House and Pentagon predicted. In early 2003 he told the Washington Post the outcome was an unknown:
What is postwar Iraq going to look like, with the Kurds and the Sunnis and the Shiites? Thats a huge question, to my mind. It really should be part of the overall campaign plan, he said.
Initially Schwarzkopf had endorsed the invasion, saying he was convinced that former Secretary of State Colin Powell had given the United Nations powerful evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. After that proved false, he said decisions to go to war should depend on what U.N. weapons inspectors found.
He seldom spoke up during the conflict, but in late 2004, he sharply criticized then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon for mistakes that included inadequate training for Army reservists sent to Iraq and for erroneous judgments about Iraq.
In the final analysis I think we are behind schedule. ... I dont think we counted on it turning into jihad (holy war), he said in an NBC interview.
Schwarzkopf was born Aug. 24, 1934, in Trenton, N.J., where his father, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., founder and commander of the New Jersey State Police, was then leading the investigation of the Lindbergh kidnap case, which ended with the arrest and 1936 execution of German-born carpenter Richard Hauptmann for stealing and murdering the famed aviators infant son.
The elder Schwarzkopf was named Herbert, but when the son was asked what his H stood for, he would reply, H. Although reputed to be short-tempered with aides and subordinates, he was a friendly, talkative and even jovial figure who didnt like Stormin Norman and preferred to be known as the Bear, a sobriquet given him by troops.
He also was outspoken at times, including when he described Gen. William Westmoreland, the U.S. commander in Vietnam, as a horses ass in an Associated Press interview.
As a teenager Norman accompanied his father to Iran, where the elder Schwarzkopf trained the countrys national police force and was an adviser to Reza Pahlavi, the young Shah of Iran.
Young Norman studied there and in Switzerland, Germany and Italy, then followed in his fathers footsteps to West Point, graduating in 1956 with an engineering degree. After stints in the U.S. and abroad, he earned a masters degree in engineering at the University of Southern California and later taught missile engineering at West Point.
In 1966 he volunteered for Vietnam and served two tours, first as a U.S. adviser to South Vietnamese paratroops and later as a battalion commander in the U.S. Armys Americal Division. He earned three Silver Stars for valor including one for saving troops from a minefield plus a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and three Distinguished Service Medals.
While many career officers left military service embittered by Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was among those who opted to stay and help rebuild the tattered Army into a potent, modernized all-volunteer force.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON The Smithsonian Institution, the worlds largest museum and research complex, is...
