AFPAK Hands have strategic effects
KABUL, Afghanistan - When Lt. Col. Rob Rabb joined the Afghanistan/Pakistan (AFPAK) Hands program he never dreamed that he would become a speech writer or that his letters would land on the desk of Afghan President Hamid Karzai for signature.
"You can imagine my surprise when I realized that my proposal for a project was diverted from the minister, for whom I thought I was writing it, to the president of Afghanistan," said Rabb, with a look of amazement on his face, while sitting at Camp Julien, the home of the Counter-Insurgency Training Academy, attended by coalition forces and Afghan National Army soldiers.
As a mechanical engineer, Rabb brings a special set of skills to the AFPAK Hands program by working in a cluster of four business ministries called the Agriculture, Reconstruction, and Development cluster.
"We have embedded partners there (ministries) and our job is to go over there and not get stuck in their battle rhythm, but really to work at the higher level to integrate the ministries, have them work better internally and externally," explained Rabb, referring to effective communication between the Afghan government and external partners such as international aid agencies, non government agencies, and coalition forces.
"For example, there is a plan for a large scale hydroelectric project that will require quadrupling the capacity of the facility," said Rabb, adding that the power generated would then be run it down to one of the major cities.
"This is a huge effort. It will take 100M to work on the dam and 200M to work on the transmission lines, but it's all necessary because right now a lot of places in Afghanistan are being generated by diesel fuel. The diesel generators are running them 100M per year, which is unsustainable and they can't afford to run them once we leave," he continued.
With his professional engineering skills, the ability to speak conversational Dari, coupled with the knowledge of Afghan customs and traditions, Rabb is able to advise the Afghan ministers on how to plan and prioritize to successfully construct the hydroelectric plant located in a remote area with a strong insurgent foothold.
"For instance, recently I have been asked to look at the national priority program energy plan for the next three years an it is basically an outline, a very long 120 pages outline, with additional annexes," he said, with a slightly bewildered look on his face. "I am looking at that program with their engineers to lay out their priorities, their funding, and their plans … I try to relate (information) back to the international community, assisting them (Afghans) to where they can seek additional funding based off of their priorities."
Dressed in a sharp suit, a typical working day for Rabb consists of departing the International Security Afghanistan Force (ISAF) headquarters early in the morning, driving down "ministry row," where most of the important governmental buildings are located, and beginning his day with a series of meetings, drinking chai and chatting with people in Dari, from office to office, conducting business Afghan style until about 4 pm.
"I normally come back to ISAF and continue my working day, which consists of reading and responding to emails until late in the evening," he said.
One of the projects that Rabb is particularly proud of is the ministerial travel program which involves getting the deputy Afghan ministers out to the provinces and districts to talk with local government and tribal leaders.
"Getting the ministers out there where they can talk to the local people and connect the local government to the higher government in Kabul I think is important," said Rabb, explaining that communicating to the wider public is challenging because of the lack of media, or lack of resources for people to even purchase electronics to remain informed.
"It (travel) gives some credibility to the Afghan government because right now in lots of places it is very disconnected with the local villages. What we are really looking at is connecting with the local leadership who have tribal affiliations, and talking about resources and ways to help them. And the Afghan government has resources," he said.
"We (AFPAK Hands) do have far reaching abilities and can influence a few things. We do have strategic effects," concluded Rabb.

I may not be expressing my point very clearly but to me the ' Canadian experiement' of doing away with God in recovery smacks of Ego. No doubt some trumpet ass know it all will be taking the credit for finding a new way out the madness of active alcoholism.
Folks are now trying to poo poo the idea of a supreme deity looking after us all. After all more folks worship guys like Steve Jobs these days than Jesus. Today everything appears to be humanly possible, apart from recovery from addiction?
Are these people going to hijack elements of the 12 step recovery programme they like and leave out the most important part?
Surely they cant be calling themselves a fellowship of like minded individuals if they're being told what to believe?
If a firm belief in God was good enough for Albert Einstien why not alcoholics?
I'd better go before i blow my stack at these imposters!

Brookwood School February Open House
On Thursday, February 12, 2015 from 8:45 to 10:45 a.m., parents of students entering grades Pre-K through Eight are invited to Brookwood School's Open House to learn about the exceptional education the school offers.
The program will feature:
- 8:45 a.m. Classroom tours - meet and speak with Brookwood faculty
- 9:30 a.m. Information program - hear from Head of School John Peterman and a panel of students in Grades 3-8
- 10:00 a.m. School Meeting
"At Brookwood, we know that what matters most is a child who is happily engaged in his or her learning and a student who is intellectually challenged, supported, and encouraged by teachers and peers alike," says Brookwood Head of School John Peterman. "Over the course of Brookwood's 55-plus year history we've learned that a confident child is a successful learner and successful learners are successful in life. And we know this is a question of balance -- balancing rigor with compassion, excellence with exuberance, and self-discovery with sensitivity to others."
In 2012, Brookwood embarked on an exciting new strategic plan. From global interconnectedness, including partnerships and alliances with world-class universities and organizations, to improvements to athletic fields, and reconfigured learning spaces in our Lower School, Brookwood is poised to bring today's students to their tomorrows.
"When the world is changing at a pace faster than any one mind or organization can match, educational enterprises must prepare students for a world they must imagine, but cannot possibly know," says Peterman.
Visit brookwood.edu to learn more about Brookwood School, its curriculum, as well as its many signature programs. For complete details on the admissions process, go to: Brookwood Admissions.
Walk-ins are welcome, but if you know you plan to attend, RSVP to Kate Lombard at email@example.com or call 978-526-4500.
Brookwood School is a warm, child-centered community of exuberant learners with an unparalleled commitment to both the development of the mind and the development of the self. Brookwood strives to graduate academically accomplished individuals of conscience, character and compassion. Brookwood is an independent, co-educational day school for grades Pre-k through 8.

- Transverse pressure and strangeness dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion reactions (2005)
- Transverse hadron spectra from proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 AGeV to 21.3 ATeV are investigated within two independent transport approaches (HSD and UrQMD). For central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions at energies above E lab ~ 5 AGeV, the measured K +- transverse mass spectra have a larger inverse slope parameter than expected from the default calculations. The additional pressure - as suggested by lattice QCD calculations at finite quark chemical potential mu q and temperature T - might be generated by strong interactions in the early pre-hadronic/partonic phase of central Au+Au (Pb+Pb) collisions. This is supported by a non-monotonic energy dependence of v2/pT in the present transport model.
- Transport model analysis of the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of pion interferometry at SPS energies (2006)
- Based on the UrQMD transport model, the transverse momentum and the rapidity dependence of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii R_L, R_O, R_S as well as the cross term R_OL at SPS energies are investigated and compared with the experimental NA49 and CERES data. The rapidity dependence of the R_L, R_O, R_S is weak while the R_OL is significantly increased at large rapidities and small transverse momenta. The HBT "life-time" issue (the phenomenon that the calculated sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 value is larger than the correspondingly extracted experimental data) is also present at SPS energies.
- Nonequilibrium models of relativistic heavy-ion collisions (2004)
- To be published in J. Phys. G - Proceedings of SQM 2004 : We review the results from the various hydrodynamical and transport models on the collective flow observables from AGS to RHIC energies. A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A.GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the v2-flow ~ 10 A.GeV; at 40 A.GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density r b. Moreover, the connection of the elliptic flow v2 to jet suppression is examined. It is proven experimentally that the collective flow is not faked by minijet fragmentation. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially (< 50%) be due to hadronic rescattering. Furthermore, the change in sign of v1, v2 closer to beam rapidity is related to the occurence of a high density first order phase transition in the RHIC data at 62.5, 130 and 200 A.GeV.
- Elliptic flow analysis at RHIC with the Lee-Yang Zeroes method in a relativistic transport approach (2006)
- The Lee-Yang zeroes method is applied to study elliptic flow (v_2) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt s =200 A GeV, with the UrQMD model. In this transport approach, the true event plane is known and both the nonflow effects and event-by-event v_2 fluctuations exist. Although the low resolutions prohibit the application of the method for most central and peripheral collisions, the integral and differential elliptic flow from the Lee-Yang zeroes method agrees with the exact v_2 values very well for semi-central collisions.
- Elliptic flow analysis at RHIC : fluctuations vs. non-flow effects (2005)
- The cumulant method is applied to study elliptic flow (v_2) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt s=200 AGeV, with the UrQMD model. In this approach, the true event plane is known and both the non-flow effects and event-by-event spatial (epsilon) and v_2 fluctuations exist. Qualitatively, the hierarchy of v_2 's from two, four and six-particle cumulants is consistent with the STAR data, however, the magnitude of v_2 in the UrQMD model is only 60% of the data. We find that the four and six-particle cumulants are good measures of the real elliptic flow over a wide range of centralities except for the most central and very peripheral events. There the cumulant method is affected by the v_2 fluctuations. In mid-central collisions, the four and six-particle cumulants are shown to give a good estimation of the true differential v_2, especially at large transverse momentum, where the two-particle cumulant method is heavily affected by the non-flow effects.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure azimuthal correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions. In particular, we show that hadronic interactions at the late stage cannot significantly disturb the initial back-to-back azimuthal correlations of DDbar pairs. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations does indicate frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks and also light partons in the partonic stage, which are essential for the early thermalization of light partons.
- DD correlations as a sensitive probe for thermalization in high-energy nuclear collisions (2006)
- We propose to measure correlations of heavy-flavor hadrons to address the status of thermalization at the partonic stage of light quarks and gluons in high-energy nuclear collisions, shown on the example of azimuthal correlations of D-Dbar pairs. We show that hadronic interactions at the late stage can not disturb these correlations significantly. Thus, a decrease or the complete absence of these initial correlations indicates frequent interactions of heavy-flavor quarks in the partonic stage. Therefore, early thermalization of light quarks is likely to be reached. PACS numbers: 25.75.-q
- Anisotropic flow at RHIC : how unique is the number-of-constituent-quark scaling? (2006)
- The transverse momentum dependence of the anisotropic flow v_2 for pi, K, nucleon, Lambda, Xi and Omega is studied for Au+Au collisions at sqrt s_NN = 200 GeV within two independent string-hadron transport approaches (RQMD and UrQMD). Although both models reach only 60% of the absolute magnitude of the measured v_2, they both predict the particle type dependence of v_2, as observed by the RHIC experiments: v_2 exhibits a hadron-mass hierarchy (HMH) in the low p_T region and a number-of-constituent-quark (NCQ) dependence in the intermediate p_T region. The failure of the hadronic models to reproduce the absolute magnitude of the observed v_2 indicates that transport calculations of heavy ion collisions at RHIC must incorporate interactions among quarks and gluons in the early, hot and dense phase. The presence of an NCQ scaling in the string-hadron model results suggests that the particle-type dependencies observed in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate p_T are related to the hadronic cross sections in vacuum rather than to the hadronization process itself, as suggested by quark recombination models.

Looking for Headphones?
Start shoppingHeadphone Shootout #1 - AKG, Bowers & Wilkins, Monster Beats, Sennheiser
Our first headphone shootout using the Crutchfield Listening bar can be summed up as 5-4-3. Five tracks, four sets of headphones, three reviewers. Each reviewer listened to every track through each set of headphones and jotted down his impressions. The panel included Dave Bar, audiophile and headphone expert; Marshall Chase, whose specialty for Crutchfield on the web and in the catalog is receivers and audio components; and Ralph Graves, blog editor and former writer for Crutchfield's headphone category.
Each panelist listened to the five tracks listed below on each set of headphones, taking notes as they did so.
The tracks:
We limited our listening to five tracks, primarily to keep the shootout simple and relatively short. The tracks were chosen to cover as wide a variety of musical genres and instrumental/vocal combinations as possible. The lineup:
Norah Jones - Nightingale
Norah Jones has a very dark voice, and this track (like much of her music) features an intimate group of acoustic musicians and Jones on the piano. Each instrument should sound natural and warm in the mix.
Van Morrison and Ray Charles - Crazy Love (live)
Both Van Morrison and Ray Charles have very distinctive voices. This is a live recording, which offers a different set of acoustic challenges (both for recording and reproduction) than a studio track. Sometimes details can get lost in live recordings without very accurate reproduction.
Charlie Mingus - Better Git It in Your Soul
This track had a mix of acoustic and electric instruments on it. The soloists used silence and barely breathed notes as major building blogs for their music, Detailed reproduction is essential to keep this track from sounding like mud. On a good set of headphones, one should hear the intake of breath, and the long, wispy decay as the held notes fade out.
Rolling Stones - Tumbling Dice
The remastered version of this song pulls each instrument of the band into sharp clarity, while still retaining the "lo-fi" ethic of the original recording. Bass and drums are critical to this track, as much as Keith Richards' guitar work or Mick Jagger's singing. The low end should kick with authority, and the vocals ride over top without too much of an edge.
The Boston Baroque; Martin Perlman, conductor - Bach: Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B minor, BWV 1067, Rondeu
This group performs on instruments of the period, so the ensemble is smaller than a regular symphony orchestra, the gut strings used have a softer sound then modern metal strings. With Bach, there are no unimportant parts, so being able to make out the bass and middle lines as well as the melody is a must. Good headphones need to deliver all of this slightly soft sound with clarity and depth. An additional challenge: the flute does travel into the upper register, where it has the potential to sound shrill in less-than-ideal headphones.
The Results:

Dave |
Somewhat dark sounding overall, yet at the samei tme, a wee bit steely on top. Up-close perspective with a short sound stage. |
Palpable, well-defined bass and smooth, detailed midrange. Just the tiniest bit rolled off on the top. Intimate sounding. |
Impressive delineation of instruments and vocals in their own well-defined spaces. Lots of ambiance. Exciting sound for the short run, but bass overshadows mids and highs in the long haul. |
Fast, transparent, and neutral — these 'phones resolved low-level detail like a champ. Slightly bass-shy on our headphone listening bar but not on my home rig, suggesting you choose your sources and amplification carefully. |
Marshall |
Generously detailed vocal and reeds |
Great detail on vocal, brass, and flute. They're missing a bit on bass. |
Terrific reproduction with amplified instruments. |
Spacious, detailed vocal and acoustic instrument reproduction |
Ralph |
Very warm sound, but still with a lot of detail, especially in the vocals |
Good for intimately recorded music, like the Norah Jones and Charlie Mingus tracks. |
Much better performance with all the genres than I expected. |
A very expansive sound across the board, with lots of intimate details. |
Personal Favorite |
Dave |
The Sennheiser HD 598 won me over with its combination of lightweight comfort, openness, and X-Ray-like resolution. |
Marshall |
The AKG K 272 HD would be best suited to my listening and headphone wearing preferences. |
Ralph |
I listen to a lot of acoustic music. For my tastes, I thought the Sennheiser HD 598 did the best job. |
Of course, our panelists had lots more to say. Read all of their comments about these four headphones at Headphone Shootout #1 — The Details.

And to keep on topic, I really, really, really, don't want the Reds to spend big on a catcher, and lose their 1st round draft pick this offseason. If they don't believe Mesoraco can be the guy, there will be other options.

Oh Mavis (of Georgia Black Crackers), you made me BLUSH! I can't thank you enough for including lil' ol' me in your selection for this award. I just was notified that Renate over at Into the Light bestowed upon me the same honor. Thank you ladies! It means so much to me that the random genealogy thoughts running around inside my head actually do provide good reading and support to others. We start these things and they sort of take on a life of their own. I was telling someone recently that there's whole little world of bloggers that I now know, and although we've never met in person, it feels like we know each other deeply. I love that.
I'm simply flattered to have received this. The award comes with the responsibility to share 7 things about myself and then pass it on to 7 more bloggers.
Here goes:
1. Although I'm an engineer, I'm really an artist in my heart & spirit. I always wanted to be a writer and filmmaker & the fat lady hasn't finished singing yet, so watch out.
2. I'm a terrific cook.
3. I am a voracious reader of all kinds of literature, a habit I have had since childhood. I just finished Nina Simone's autobiography & now I am reading "Why Evolution Is True."
4. I started roller-skating when I was 13 years old, joined a skating team (yes, like in that movie 'Roll Bounce'), and still love to skate even though I don't get out as often as I used to.
5. I love movies and music. Especially old movies, and classic old-school R&B.
6. My sister, Alice Smith, is a singer. Her wonderful CD, "For Lovers, Dreamers and Me" has been out a few years, she was nominated for a Grammy, her 2nd CD will drop soon and she tours all over the country. Check her out! You can find clips of her all over YouTube.
7. I'm extremely directionally challenged. If I didn't have a GPS, I'd get lost going around the block;)
And I pass the torch to the following 6 blogs. I'm trying to spread the fire, so I'm attempting to name blogs that haven't gotten one already and I could only pick 6:
1. The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation
2. The African American Genealogy Examiner
3. The Hope Chest
4. Genwriting
5. Virginia Family Tree Genealogy
6. John Brown Kin
I love this ! Let's keep it going, family.

Vermont seeks $60 million fund for Entergy plant to keep running
MONTPELIER — The Department of Public Service said Entergy Nuclear has not been a trusted partner to the state of Vermont, but in filings last week it said Entergy should be allowed to operate the Vermont Yankee reactor until the end of 2014 to facilitate a smooth shutdown.
Christopher Recchia, commissioner of the Department of Public Service, said Friday that if Entergy had not decided in August to shut down Vermont Yankee, the Shumlin administration would have recommended against further operation of the state's only nuclear power plant.
"They can't be relied on for the next 20 years to operate in a manner that fulfills the conditions of any certificate," Recchia said.
The state — and parties to Entergy's pending case before the Public Service Board — submitted conditions it wants the PSB to attach to any new certificate of public good for Yankee. The Department of Public Service acts as the public's advocate to the quasi-judicial PSB.
Vermont Yankee has been operating without a certificate of public good since March 21, 2012, but does have a federal license amendment from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate until 2032.
Among the conditions sought by the state is a $60 million fund to ensure that the Yankee site in Vernon be returned to "green field" status, so it can be used for further economic development. Entergy's position is that no additional funds are needed.
Entergy's current plans call for Yankee to be mothballed for upward of 50 years, under an NRC-approved scenario called "SAFSTOR." After 50 years, decommissioning, which typically takes about 10 years, would occur. What would eventually happen to the highly radioactive nuclear fuel is currently not yet determined.
State officials, as well as government agencies such as the Windham Regional Commission in Brattleboro, have gone on record asking for a much shorter timeline, to maintain high levels of employment and get the Vernon site ready for a new use.
Recchia said the state, in its filings, did not specifically ask for a speedy decommissioning, but that the Vermont Yankee site should be available for "unrestricted" use in the future.
The Vernon site is served by high-voltage transmission lines, as well as a new electrical substation owned by Vermont Electric Power Co., or VELCO, a consortium of Vermont utilities.
Entergy, in its own filing, said Vermont Yankee's decommissioning trust fund is adequate to cover both the cost of the NRC-required radiological cleanup and the state's requirement for a "green field" restoration.
The company said it had been a "fair partner" to the state, and that Vermont Yankee contributed to the goal of controlling greenhouse gas emissions. It added that its operation through 2014 and its $65 million payroll would help the economy of the region and state.
Robert Williams, spokesman for Entergy in Vermont, declined to comment on the Entergy filing, which was prepared by attorney John Marshall of St. Johnsbury, a lawyer with the firm of Downs Rachlin Martin.
Recchia said the site restoration is an important goal for the state, as is post-shutdown economic development payments to address what he called the short-term economic disruption when 650 people lose their jobs at Yankee.
The state still should remain skeptical of Entergy, given its track record, Recchia said, including lying to state regulators about the existence of underground pipes carrying radioactive material. Entergy officials told the PSB in 2009 that such pipes did not exist, but were caught in that "misstatement" when Vermont Yankee discovered an extensive radioactive tritium leak at the plant in early 2010.
Entergy, in its own filings with the PSB, said the Atomic Energy Act removes radioactive issues from state review — it is pre-empted by federal regulators.
Entergy said it must therefore be considered "a fair partner" under Section 248, the state law governing certificates of public good.
Entergy likewise said the PSB should not consider the track record of other nuclear utilities in decommissioning when forecasting the financial needs of Vermont Yankee.
The Vermont Public Interest Research Group also called for an increased state role in Vermont Yankee's decommissioning.
VPIRG said Entergy had "a financial interest in waiting a very long time to begin appropriate decommission" because it could pocket any excess funds that would accumulate after 50 years of delay.
Entergy has said that by waiting, the risk of radiation exposure for workers would be substantially lower, that less low-level radioactive waste would be created, and that the decommissioning trust fund would be able to grow.
Entergy, which bought Vermont Yankee in 2012, inherited Yankee's dedicated trust fund and has not contributed to the fund, which was created with funding from its original ratepayers.
Recchia said he expected the PSB would make a decision on the permit by the end of the year.

What is the point of remaking another movie that was based off of a short story by the way?
