Bedskirt I needed a queen size bedskirt and this one worked perfectly.The size was just right. I washed it before use, as i do with all linens and it did not shrink. It definitely needed to be ironed and I used a spray starch which made a world of difference. I would recommend it to my friends.

Great value for money I was not sure about a poly-cotton blend, but it looks very nice indeed. It is great value for the money - all that fabric for $19/20! Sometimes, when you pay a bargain price for bed linens, they are too small, or fabric is skimpy. This king-size bed skirt fits my king-size bed perfecty. It washes well.

Very Nice I was very happy with the quality of this product. It's open at the top. The stitching is very good. It fits my queen sized bed perfectly. Since it won't be easy to separate the corner stitching, it will not hang well over an extended bed frame. This will be perfect for a platform bed.

Good for the $ I would recommend this bedskirt for anyone looking to not spend too much money on a basic. It is very simple, but looks good when it's on the bed. I bought one in the mocha color--it is almost exactly the same color as it is online. I thought it might be darker, considering the name, but it is true to what my computer screen showed (almost more of a tan or cappuccino color). I bought it for a spare bedroom, where I didn't want to spend too much money--just needed to hide a boxspring. Overall, I am very pleased with the price and the look.

Questions & Answers
Hello silverfox, this item features fabric to cover the entire box spring. Thank you for shopping with us.
what does open at the top mean?
Hello Morton F., perhaps the reviewer is referring to the pleat at the corner which is open at the top of the corner. Other than that, I have no idea. Thank you for checking with us.
Would this fit a daybed?
Hello Chestnut168, daybed skirt is about 39 inches wide x 75 inches long. You may be able to retrofit to a daybed, but it is designed for a regular bed. We have included a link to our daybed covers for your information. Thank you for shopping with us. http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=daybed+covers&SearchType=Header
Why did you choose this product?
Twin size in navy
Love the clean and classic look. As always, can't beat the value!! Thanks Overstock!!!
I chose this basic bedskirt in black. Its perfect for the twin size bed frame I also purchased.
Good price, hoping quality is good as well! Low shipping charge.
Needed bed skirt to go with bedspread I just bought
to go with the new bed

Bedspread I ordered didn't co e with one
Price and needed that color
Pricing and Hoping it serves its purpose not to show anything under bed.
i liked the design
Re: Ivory color - is it very yellowish?
Hello classylassy, the ivory is a creamy white. Have a great day!
Is the navy color a dark navy? Some navy's are lighter. I'm looking for a deep, dark navy.
Hello katie, we try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. Thank you for shopping with us.
Do any of your bedskirts have split corners?
Hello Irw7, here is a list of our bed skirts; http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Bedskirts/4530/cat.html?keywords=bedskirts&searchtype=Header. Some do have split corners and some do not have split corners. Thanks for shopping with us!
My bed has a head and foot board. This bed skirt does not have split corners which makes to runch up at the bed corners.
No split corners which I prefer. My last bedskirt had split corners and all I could see was the metal mattress frame.
My bedskirt if perfect. Pleats on corners and on center back and center of sides also. No open splits. Fits perfectly on my twin beds. Color matched my comforter, sheets and pillow cases exactly.
I just have a headboard so this bed skirt works great for me
I'm considering ordering a queen size to use as a bedspread on a hospital xl twin bed. A quilt/bed skirt option won't work due to the safety rails. Is this quilt too thick to use as a bedspread?
Hello lnb1954, this is a bed skirt not the blanket. Have a great day!
This is not a blanket at all. Good luck with your search!
Not thick at all, but it would definitely not work as a bedspread.
This is a bedskirt, and is very thin. It would not work at all as a bedspread, I am pretty sure.
Does this have split corners? There are conflicting answers already given, so sorry to ask again.
One piece of material, no splits.
there is no split only a pleat at the corners and in the middle of the sides.
They are not split, they are folded to look split.
No, they aren't splits. They are pleated on the corners.
No splits, which was a bit disappointing as it's a tad difficult to drape around the bed corners but once you get it worked out they hang beautifully.
No split corners, just a pleat.
no corner split on the one I got.
The corners are folded to look exactly like the photo. There isn't a separation of the fabric- so if you are looking for something with fabric that is draped because it is open and hanging- this isn't the right skirt for you.
is this Bed Skirt has a fabric for covering the Platform Bed Frame from which the bed skirt hangs?
Hello, aping. Yes, this skirt has fabric to cover the whole bed, and the skirt hangs from that fabric. Thank you for your interest, and have a great day.
don't know why tasha89 said "no" - the original answer is perfectly stated.
I bought the bed skirt for a queen size bed and it fit perfectly. I do not have a platform bed, so I don't know if that would be different. I wanted a navy bed skirt to match the white & blue comforter and had trouble finding one until I looked at Overstock. It was a great find.
Yes, it has fabric to cover the box spring. Great quality for the price!
do the corners of the bed skirt seperate to allow for a bed frame?
The bedskirt itself is very generously sized, but the pleats do allow for more room, if necessary.
If you are speaking about a foot board, no it does not split.
not really--I thought it was just the kind of bed I have. I think it would be fine on a plain frame.
no, they don't... i wish i'd know this before i purchased it :(
Mine is split in the corners to allow for the corner post if that is what you mean.
I've bought two of these and they are not split. They are pleated at the corners.
It is good on a plain frame!!
Yes! We have a bed frame.....
No it doesnt
The corners are not split, but it hangs well once you get it in place.
Does this bed skirt have pleats in the middle of the sides or only on the end corners? Also what is the thread count psi?
There are pleats in the middle of the sides and the middle of the front as well.
It is pleated in the center of each side as well as the corners. I don't know what the thread count is, but fabric is somewhat course and stiff, although not heavy.
There is a please in the middle of each side and the middle of the end, also a pleat in each corner of the bottom. Material is not great, it holds the wrinkles and have tried to iron them out, wash them and iron them out and no luck
It is pleated in the middle of each side as well as at the corners
Pleats only on the sides - end corners not the middle.
Is the center part of this bed skirt the same color as the skirt itself, for instance...if I purchase this in black, is the WHOLE piece black or is the center white?
no it looks like two different colors
If you mean the piece that holds it in place between your mattress and spring, it is white and a different fabric altogether.
white gauze top and black skirt but it fits my queen box spring perfectly so you do not see the white, especially when the sheets are on the mattress.
No it is not. The center is of a different material and is white in color
The piece that lays on the mattress is white.
Both colors are close enough. I bought an off white and both parts seems pretty similar. The mattress covers up the middle part, so it's not visible anyway
Can this be used with the uni-matic universal metal bed frame? http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Uni-Matic-Universal-Metal-Bed-Frame/3416601/product.html
I don't know what the product you're talking about is, but I don't see why not. The skirt has slits up the corners, so it's not going to look weird with any bedframe.
Yes, it will work fine.
Do you need a box spring to use this or can it go on a bed frame with slats?
It should work fine with a platform bed.
It hangs down 14 inches from the top of my box spring and is about one inch off of the floor. Measure how much space you have. Might be OK to hang on floor but not perfect.
Does this product have a the drop skirt on ALL four sides? The question about the daybed use did not clearly state if this product was 2 Length and 1 Width (foot) or 2 L and 2 W (head and foot) for the drop skirt.
This is a three-sided skirt for both sides and the bottom of a bed, so it is not set up for a day bed.
Can this be used on a daybed?
Yes, it will just go all the way around.
Is the sage a light or dark sage?
It is a light sage.
Does it have split corners to work with a foot board?
Yes, these are split corners.
what material is the middle part of the bed skirt? The part that lies under the bed?
The material that lies under the bed is the same material which is 65-percent polyester/35-percent cotton. It is a blend between polyester and cotton.

Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.

Liver metastases are cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.
See also: Hepatocellular carcinoma
Metastases to the liver; Metastatic liver cancer; Liver cancer - metastatic
Almost any cancer can spread to the liver. Cancers that may spread to the liver include:
The risk of cancer spreading to the liver depends on the site of the original cancer. A liver metastasis may be present when the original (primary) cancer is diagnosed, or it may occur months or years after the primary tumor is removed.
In some cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
Tests that may be done to diagnose liver metastases include:
Treatment depends on:
When the cancer has spread to the liver and other organs, whole-body (systemic) chemotherapy is usually used. The type of chemotherapy is determined by theoriginal type of cancer.
When the spread is limited to the liver, body-wide chemotherapy may still be used. However, other treatment methods may work. When the tumor is only in one or a few areas of the liver, the cancer may be removed with surgery.
The use of radiofrequency waves or injection of toxic substances may also be used to kill tumors. When larger areas of the liver are involved, treatment may involve giving chemotherapy directly into the liver, or a procedure called embolization, which blocks blood flow to parts of the liver to "starve" the tumor cells.
How well you do depends on the location of the original cancer and how much it has spread to the liver or anywhere else. Rarely, surgery to remove the liver tumors may lead to a cure. This is usually only possible in patients with certain tumor types (for example, colorectal cancer), and when there are a limited number of tumors in the liver.
In most cases, cancer that has spread to the liver is not curable. Patients with spread of cancer to the liver usually die of their disease. However, treatments may help shrink tumors, improve life expectancy, and relieve symptoms.
Complications are generally the result of tumors spreading to a large area of the liver.
They can include:
Call your health care provider if you have cancer and suspect that it has spread to the liver. Anyone who has had a type of cancer that can spread to the liver should be aware of the signs and symptoms listed above, and call a physician if any of these develop.
Early detection of some types of cancer may prevent the spread of these cancers to the liver.

Optical Drives Buying Guide
I can remember a time when floppy drives came standard on PCs and when CD-Rom drives were the popular things going, a new type of storage media that was all the rage. I can also remember my first CD-burner as well, it was very expensive, and it took a long time to burn a CD, so long in fact that it was more of a hassle than it was worth really. Today though we can burn CDs and DVDs in minutes on optical drives that cost a fraction of what they did a few years ago thanks to advances in technology, and their increased popularity.
Today optical drives, specifically combo DVD/CD recorders or burners are standard issue on most any computer, everyone seems to have one or the other in their computer to help them store large amounts of data very quickly and easily. Floppy discs have gone the way of the dodo in favor of the larger storage capacity, cheaper cost, better reliability and ease of use of optical media.
Types of Optical Drives:
There are several types of Optical Drives, the most popular being combo type drives where you can read and write to both CDs and DVDs. You can still find CD and DVD readers, but do to the lowered costs of combo drives and writers, they too are becoming obsolete.
Recently Optical drives have become available using the SATA connection as opposed to the standard IDE connection as well, so there is another choice or decision to be made when purchasing an Optical Drive.
CD-ROM Drives are Optical Drives that can only read optical media such as data discs and music CDs, these can be found in older style machines, but there are still a few available for purchase out there.
DVD-ROM Drives can read both DVDs and CDs, these are the earlier type of combo drive, they are good for reading data discs and playing audio CDs and watching DVDs on your computer.
CD/RW Drives are Optical Drives that can not only read CDs, but can write to blank optical media as well. These types of drive can be divided into two categories actually, some of them can write only to CDRs, while some can also write to CDRWs which are re-writable CDRs, or simplistically a larger capacity floppy disc. The typical size of a blank CD is 700MB, while a blank CDRW is usually 650MB.
DVD/RW Drives are Optical Drives that can write to blank DVD media. There are several types of these drives that can be divided into sub-categories and these are by far the most popular type of optical drive on the market today.
-DVD/RW Drives can read DVD-Rom data discs and play standard DVD movies, but they can also write to blank DVD media which is typically 4.7gb in capacity. These drives typically can also read data CDs and play audio CDs as well.
-DVD/RW Combo Drives are drives that can read DVDs, and CDs, but they can also write to both types of media as well. These types of optical drives can also be further broken down into their own sub-categories as well depending on the type of media they can read and write to. When purchasing this type of drive you should pay very close attention to the specifications as to what types of data the drive can read from and write to, it can be very confusing with all of the different options available out there today. A true combo drive can read and write to every type of media available today, some drives are labeled as combo drives but in reality they are truly not.
-DVD/RW/DL Drives are basically a DVD writer with the added functionality of being able to write to DL, or Double Layer DVD media, or giving you approximately 8.5 Gb of storage space on a single blank DVD.
-DVD/RW/DVD-RAM Drives are again a combo drive, but with the ability to use DVD-RAM media, these are not as popular as the standard combo drives and the media itself is fairly expensive to purchase at usually three times or more the cost of a standard blank DVD. DVD-Ram can be used just like a removable hard disc, and with newer operating systems does not even require any special software to be installed to utilize the media. DVD-Ram does have many advantages over DVDR and DVDRW though, DVD-RAM can be rewritten ten times as many times as a DVDRW can be, and depending on the speed sometimes can be rewritten a hundred times more, the slower the write process the more times it can be rewritten. They also have the advantage of being able to store more data, 9.4Gb on a double sides DVD-Ram as opposed to the 8.5Gb of a Dual Layer DVD.
HD-DVD Drives are essentially obsolete at this point in time, but can still be found for purchase at very low prices. HD-DVD was a competing standard for High Definition video, but lost to Blu-Ray which has now become the standard for High Definition video. These drives were capable of reading HD-DVDs and recording to blank HD-DVD media that provided a capacity upwards of 60Gb in data storage for the dual layered version.
Blu-Ray Disc or BD Optical Drives are the new standard for high definition video playing and recording. At this point in time though the prices are prohibitively high for most consumers to own this type of drive with prices between $400 and $600 for a drive, while prices for DVD/RW/DL drives are hovering around $35 for a drive. BD discs have a capacity of up to 50Gb for the double layered media making them excellent for archival storage.
There are other types of Optical Drives out there still but they are for the most part obsolete now and most likely very hard to find, as with any technology the dominant one has taken the spotlight and forced others to bow out of the competition.
Types of Media:
There are several types of media that Optical Drives can read and write to, again if you are thinking of purchasing a new optical drive please be sure to check the manufacturers specifications to be sure that the drive can read and write to every type of media that you want it to.
CDs or Compact Discs have been around for quite sometime now and have effectively replaced the cassette tape for audio and storage purposes. These can be purchased in several types of media styles: CD-Roms that usually contain data or music, CD-Rs that are blank media that can store up to 700Mb of data and CD-RWs that are rewritable CD-Rs that can store up to 650Mb of data and can be used similar to a floppy disc, written over and over a finite number of times.
DVDs are most familiar to us in the form of DVD videos, or the format we get most of our movies on, these have essentially replaced the VHS tape. There are several types of DVD media and it can honestly get confusing with all of these types:
-DVD-Roms are just data or video discs such as the types a movie or video game might come on.
-DVDRs are blank media that can be recorded to and have a capacity of 4.7Gb, but these come is two types:
--DVD-R and DVD+R are two separate competing standards of blank DVD media. If you make your own movies to DVDs it should be noted that not both types will play on a stand alone DVD player, sometimes a player will only play one type of media and not the other, when purchasing a writer with this purpose it's good to know what type of media is compatible with your DVD player.
DVDRWs are just rewritable DVDs similar to the CDRW, but these also come in two types, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. The major difference between these tow is that DVD+RW can be used just like a floppy disc, but DVD-RW must be erased entirely before anything can be written to them again.
DVDRDLs are Double Layered DVD media, and here again these come in two standards, DVD-DL and DVD+DL. These have a capacity of up to 8.5Gb for the single sided but can be found in double sided versions that effectively double the capacity to 17.1Gb.
BDR discs are recordable Blu-Ray Discs, these come in two types, BD-R that are write once like a blank DVD and BD-RE that are re-writable like DVDRWs are. These come in two capacities as well, 25Gb for single layer and 50Gb for the double layer version.
As with the Optical Drives themselves, there are other types of media available today, but they've gone to the wayside in favor of the more popular format.
Closing and Comments:
I've said it a couple times already but it bears repeating as I can't stress it enough, it can be very confusing when purchasing an Optical Drive, there are so many to choose from that you need to pay very special attention to the specifications listed by the manufacturer when it comes to the types of media that can be read and recored to by the drive.
Now you also have the choice of SATA or IDE versions of Optical Drives, the SATA version is not quite as common place, and really not much of an improvement over the IDE standard. There are newer revisions in the works though that will increase the performance of SATA optical drives, btu at the present time there is no real advantage of one over the other.

D-backs look to cut into Reds' Wild Card lead
Cahill, Latos square off in matinee finale of four-game set
For a game in August, the D-backs' series finale with the Wild Card-leading Reds on Thursday is about as important as it gets.
A win would give Arizona a split of the four-game series and keep the club five games back of the second National League Wild Card spot. A loss, however, would put the D-backs seven games off the pace with a little more than a month remaining.
Needing a victory with a two-game swing in the standings on the line and their postseason aspirations in a precarious spot, the D-backs will turn to Trevor Cahill on Thursday at Great American Ballpark. Since finishing May with a stellar 2.88 ERA in 11 starts, the right-hander hasn't been the same.
In six outings in June before being sidelined for a month on the disabled list, Cahill went 0-5 with a 9.85 ERA, allowing five or more runs four times. Then in his first start back last weekend against the Pirates, Cahill showed glimpses of his old self from earlier in the year but surrendered four runs on seven hits over five innings.
Despite the subpar statistics from his pitcher's outing, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson thought Cahill performed better than the results indicated.
"I don't think he threw the ball that bad," Gibson said. "I know you guys thought, 'oh, he was just like he was before.' I think it's way too early to say that. It's not easy coming back and doing that."
The D-backs will certainly need Cahill to turn his fortunes around Wednesday with the Reds sending Mat Latos to the mound. The 25-year-old has already beaten Arizona once this year, holding the Snakes to just one run on six hits over 7 2/3 innings on June 23 in a 4-2 Cincinnati victory.
In Latos' last start, the right-hander took a hard-luck loss to the Brewers, giving up two runs in seven innings as the Reds were shut out.
"I wasn't able to get strike one, and strike one is the most important pitch in this game," Latos said afterward. "Fall behind, they basically get to hit whatever they want to hit. ... That's just the way the game goes. Two runs will beat you on any given day."
Reds: Cueto begins light throwing
Johnny Cueto played catch on the field Wednesday and made 40 throws from distances of 60-75 feet. He was originally slated to have an MRI on Friday before he could begin a throwing program, but the Reds ultimately decided against that plan.
"I feel good," Cueto said. "I didn't feel bad [before]. I didn't feel nothing. I wanted to throw. They said OK."
The outing marked the first time the Reds' ace has thrown since straining his right lat muscle for the third time this season during a June 28 start at Texas. Cueto had been asking to throw for a little while, but because he had repeatedly suffered the same injury, the club opted to wait. But when head trainer Paul Lessard, medical director Tim Kremchek and general manager Walt Jocketty met on Tuesday night and Wednesday, they gave him the green light.
"Because he has gotten good strength, why not try and start throwing?" Lessard said. "We can use the throwing program as a strengthening tool as well.
D-backs: Goldschmidt humble about 100-RBI mark
After hitting a grand slam Tuesday night that gave him 100 RBIs on the season, Paul Goldschmidt didn't realize he had reached the century mark for the first time in his career until teammates let him know.
"They said congrats on 100 so I knew it was either that or at least 100," Goldschmidt said. "I don't know. ... My goal, like we've talked about all year, is just showing up and trying to have good at-bats, work hard, prepare. You know the stuff I can control. You know RBIs are out of your control. I mean, out there I could hit the same pitch, same swing and it's a line drive to shortstop, double play."
Worth noting
• The Reds are 9-4 in their first 13 games of a stretch in which they are scheduled to play 20 straight days.
• The D-backs lead the Major Leagues with 27 one-run wins.

Rosh Hashanah Recipes
Cauliflower Curry Puree |
KosherEye.comFrom The Prime Grill Cookbook: Redefining the Kosher Experience by David Kolotkin and Joey Allaham, © Joey Allaham, used by permission of the publisher, Pelican Publishing Company, Inc. Ingredients 1 cauliflower head, cut into florets (stems removed) Directions Place the cauliflower florets in a small heavy gauged saucepot and add enough curry liquid to cover the cauliflower (the amount of curry liquid will vary according to the size of the pot; therefore, prepare the needed amount according to the size of the pot you are using). Add the leeks, garlic, and ginger. Put the pot on high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until the cauliflower florets are soft. Remove from the heat, strain over a clean bowl, and reserve the liquids. Pour the cauliflower mixture into a food processor and add the cream cheese, salt, and 1⁄4 cup of the reserved liquid. Puree until smooth and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the cauliflower with teriyaki-glazed fish. Notes Chef's Tip: Use a bowl with a lid for the liquid. Don't add all of the water to the curry powder at once. First add a few tablespoons of water to the powder and create a "paste" then add the rest of the water slowly so that the powder will dissolve better in the water. Recipe: kosher, parve or dairy |

Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited Successfully Deploys Calibre DFM Solutions to Help Drive Rapid Process Migration.
WILSONVILLE, Ore. -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that Cambridge Silicon Radio Limited ('CSR'), a leading global provider of personal wireless technology with capabilities including Bluetooth, FM, GPS and Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11 a,b,g,n), has received working 65nm silicon using their new nanometer design flow, which incorporates advanced Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) methods using the Calibre([R]) DFM platform. Applying the full range of Calibre DFM solutions to its latest product, CSR was able to successfully tape-out at 65nm. CSR plans to use the same DFM solutions to quickly move to even more advanced RFCMOS processes nodes."CSR is moving to the most advanced process nodes at a very rapid pace, so we're employing sophisticated DFM practices to ensure our designs are more robust over the process window, and to eliminate manufacturing surprises late in the development cycle," said Chris Ladas, an Executive Director of parent company CSR plc and Senior Vice President of Operations at CSR. "We're extremely pleased with the results we achieved on our most recent RFCMOS 65nm design, which employed a full range of DFM methods including Calibre tools."
CSR is adopting the complete Calibre DFM solution, which includes litho process checking with the Calibre LFD[TM] tool, critical area analysis (CAA) with Calibre YieldAnalyzer, CMP analysis and intelligent metal fill with Calibre CMPAnalyzer and Calibre YieldEnhancer, and critical feature analysis (CFA) using Calibre nmDRC with Equation-based DRC. All of these products are supported by design kits from TSMC, CSR's foundry of choice. By using these tools to identify areas of the physical design that are sensitive to manufacturing process variations, and then making changes to remove these sensitivities, CSR is able to improve the robustness of their designs across the process window. A more robust design helps ensure first time working silicon, minimizes the potential for manufacturing surprises, and enables a faster ramp to volume production.
"We worked extensively with Mentor to define a collaborative roadmap for the introduction of a DFM methodology and support tooling to meet CSR's specific objectives," said Mark Redford, Vice President of Advanced Process Technology Development at CSR. "This is a strategic initiative for us because we see DFM as a competitive advantage. It's a way for us to get more advanced, higher performance products to market more quickly and with no manufacturing hitches late in the product development cycle. To do this effectively, you need a DFM-aware design flow that integrates accurate information about the target manufacturing process."
"Consistent with the TSMC DFM Compliance Initiative, the Calibre DFM platform provides an efficient way to incorporate the valuable TSMC data into a customer's physical design flow which is an integral part of our Open Innovation Platform(TM), helping designers to innovate and achieve silicon success," said S.T. Juang, Senior Director of Design Infrastructure Marketing at TSMC. "TSMC is confident that our DFM compliant program, supported by EDA tools, will continue to show increasing value to key fabless partners like CSR."
"We've worked closely with CSR and TSMC to realize our mutual vision of how engineers can use DFM to design and manufacture more competitive IC products," said Joseph Sawicki, Vice President and General Manager for the Design-to-Silicon division at Mentor Graphics. "We are pleased with the first time working Silicon obtained by CSR at the 65nm process node. It is a clear demonstration of the value proposition of the Calibre DFM platform."

What is the intelligence community (IC)?
The IC is a federation of executive branch agencies and organizations that work separately and together to conduct intelligence activities necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and the protection of the national security of the United States. These activities include:
Who are the members of the US Intelligence Community (IC)?
The IC is a federation of executive branch agencies and organizations that work separately and together to conduct intelligence activities necessary for the conduct of foreign relations and the protection of the national security of the United States. There are 17 federal organizations in the Intelligence Community.
What is the vision and mission of the IC?
The United States Intelligence Community must constantly strive for and exhibit three characteristics essential to our effectiveness. The IC must be integrated: a team making the whole greater than the sum of its parts. We must also be agile: an enterprise with an adaptive, diverse, continually learning, and mission-driven intelligence workforce that embraces innovation and takes initiative. Moreover, the IC must exemplify America's values: operating under the rule of law, consistent with Americans' expectations for protection of privacy and civil liberties, respectful of human rights, and in a manner that retains the trust of the American people.
What does the IC protect the United States against?
The threat to the United States that the Intelligence Community must mitigate takes several forms. In addition to conventional military threats that have challenged us in the past, new transnational problems involve the possibilities of:
Terrorism: Terrorism means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience – violence as evidenced in the US on 11 September 2001.
Proliferation: Proliferation refers to the provision of nuclear weapons and/or technology by states that possess them to states that do not.
Chemical Warfare: Chemical Warfare can be considered the military use of toxic substances such that the chemical effects of these substances on exposed personnel result in incapacitation or death. It is the impact of chemical effects instead of physical effects that distinguishes chemical weapons from conventional weapons, even though both contain chemicals. A chemical weapon comprises two main parts: the agent and a means to deliver it. Optimally, the delivery system disseminates the agent as a cloud of fine droplets. This permits coverage of a broad amount of territory evenly and efficiently.
Biological Warfare: Biological Warfare is the use of pathogens or toxins for military purposes. BW agents are inherently more toxic than CW nerve agents on a weight-for-weight basis and can potentially provide broader coverage per pound of payload than CW agents. Moreover, they are potentially more effective because most are naturally occurring pathogens – such as bacteria and viruses – which are self-replicating and have specific physiologically targeted effects, whereas nerve agents are manufactured chemicals that disrupt physiological pathways in a general way.
Information Infrastructure Attack: Political activism on the Internet has generated a wide range of activity, from using e-mail and web sites to organize, to web page defacements and denial-of-service attacks. These computer-based attacks are usually referred to as hacktivism, a marriage of hacking and political activism.
Narcotics Trafficking: Drug dependence is a chronic, relapsing disorder that exacts an enormous cost on individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations. Addicted individuals frequently engage in self-destructive and criminal behavior. Along with prevention and treatment, law enforcement is essential for reducing drug use. Illegal drug trafficking inflicts violence and corruption on our communities. Law enforcement is the first line of defense against such unacceptable activity. The Intelligence Community must support this defense to the extent feasible and allowable by law.
How is intelligence collected?
There are six basic intelligence sources, or collection disciplines:
SIGINT: Signals intelligence is derived from signal intercepts comprising -- however transmitted -- either individually or in combination: all communications intelligence (COMINT), electronic intelligence (ELINT) and foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT).
The National Security Agency is responsible for collecting, processing, and reporting SIGINT. The National SIGINT Committee within NSA advises the Director, NSA, and the DNI on SIGINT policy issues and manages the SIGINT requirements system.
IMINT: Imagery Intelligence includes representations of objects reproduced electronically or by optical means on film, electronic display devices, or other media. Imagery can be derived from visual photography, radar sensors, and electro-optics.
NGA is the manager for all imagery intelligence activities, both classified and unclassified, within the government, including requirements, collection, processing, exploitation, dissemination, archiving, and retrieval.
MASINT: Measurement and Signature Intelligence is technically derived intelligence data other than imagery and SIGINT. The data results in intelligence that locates, identifies, or describes distinctive characteristics of targets. It employs a broad group of disciplines including nuclear, optical, radio frequency, acoustics, seismic, and materials sciences.
Examples of this might be the distinctive radar signatures of specific aircraft systems or the chemical composition of air and water samples. The Directorate for MASINT and Technical Collection (DT), a component of the Ddefense Intelligence Agency, is the focus for all national and Department of Defense MASINT matters.
HUMINT: Human intelligence is derived from human sources. To the public, HUMINT remains synonymous with espionage and clandestine activities; however, most of this collection is performed by overt collectors such as diplomats and military attaches. It is the oldest method for collecting information, and until the technical revolution of the mid to late twentieth century, it was the primary source of intelligence.
HUMINT is used mainly by the Central Intelligence Aagency, the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the FBI. Collection includes clandestine acquisition of photography, documents, and other material; overt collection by personnel in diplomatic and consular posts; debriefing of foreign nationals and US citizens who travel abroad; and official contacts with foreign governments.
To improve HUMINT throughout the IC in response to the recommendations made by the WMD Commission, the CIA, working closely with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), established the National Clandestine Service (NCS).
The NCS serves as the national authority for coordination, de-confliction, and evaluation of clandestine HUMINT operations across the Intelligence Community, both abroad and inside the United States, consistent with existing laws, executive orders, and interagency agreements. While the ODNI establishes policy related to clandestine HUMINT, the NCS executes and implements that policy across the IC.
The Director of the CIA serves as the National HUMINT Manager, but has delegated the day-to-day responsibilities of this position to the Director of the NCS (D/NCS). The D/NCS is an undercover officer. The D/NCS is assisted by a Deputy Director of the NCS (DD/NCS/CIA), a Deputy Director of NCS for Community HUMINT (DD/NCS/CH), and an Associate Deputy Director of the NCS for Technology (ADD/NCS/T).
The DD/NCS/CIA is responsible for managing CIA's clandestine service. The DD/NCS/CH is responsible for facilitation, coordination and de-confliction of clandestine HUMINT across the Community. In coordination with the ODNI, the DD/NCS/CH is empowered to implement community-wide authorities and, in conjunction with CIA's NCS and IC partners, drafts standards, doctrine, and guidelines for training, tradecraft, and general conduct of clandestine HUMINT operations. The ADD/NCS/T is responsible for managing use of advanced technologies related to clandestine HUMINT.
OSINT: Open-Source Intelligence is publicly available information appearing in print or electronic form including radio, television, newspapers, journals, the Internet, commercial databases, and videos, graphics, and drawings. While open-source collection responsibilities are broadly distributed through the IC, the major collectors are the DNI's Open Source Center (OSC) and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC).
GEOINT: Geospatial Intelligence is the analysis and visual representation of security related activities on the earth. It is produced through an integration of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information.
What is counterintelligence?
Counterintelligence (CI) is the business of identifying and dealing with foreign intelligence threats to the United States and its interests. Its core concern is the intelligence services of foreign states and similar organizations of non-state actors, such as transnational terrorist groups. Counterintelligence has both a defensive mission - protecting the nation's secrets and assets against foreign intelligence penetration - and an offensive mission - finding out what foreign intelligence organizations are planning to better defeat their aims.
As defined in Executive Order 12333 (and amended on 30 July 2008), "counterintelligence means information gathered and activities conducted to identify, deceive, exploit, disrupt, or protect against espionage, other intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers, organizations, or persons, or their agents, or international terrorist organizations or activities."
The Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive (ONCIX), under the leadership of the National Counterintelligence Executive (NCIX), was created to serve as the head of national counterintelligence for the USG and provide strategic direction to the counterintelligence community.
ONCIX, through established programs, coordinates counterintelligence outreach efforts and the dissemination of warnings to the private sector on intelligence threats to the U.S. Visit the ONCIX website at www.ncix.gov for an in-depth look into the counterintelligence vision and mission for preserving our national security.

Best Midwest Places to Get Snowed In
Grand Marais, Minnesota: Snowed in by the lake [1]
Tuck your toes into the folds of a brown furry blanket, settle on the leather sofa in a two-bedroom, two-bath condo at East Bay Suites and listen to the buzzing outside. Chain saws? No. Those would be snowmobiles zooming through the one-stoplight town of Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Locals in this fishing-village-turned-artists' enclave of 1,350 cheerfully tell you there's no bad weather, just bad gear. East Bay's concierge is happy to guide guests with dogsledding tours, snowmobile rentals, dinner recommendations, even moose-sighting tips.
In the evening, pull on your boots and walk to Gun Flint Tavern, which has a surprisingly diverse menu promising 12 microbrews, organic ingredients and an array of ethnic dishes. Then trek back to East Bay and watch the lake ice crinkle from your balcony -- until it's time to climb under a white duvet and welcome a deep vacation sleep. (800) 414-2807; eastbaysuites.com [2]

Boyne, Michigan: A place to play [15]
Austrian ski instructors cheerfully work with inexperienced skiers: "Pretend you're holding a tray. Now lean to the right, then to the left." With a little practice, even novices can swoop and swish across the runs at Boyne Mountain before safely landing in the snow-covered village below.
Boyne (15 miles south of Petoskey) is home to the 60-year-old grand dame of Midwest skiing. Boyne's Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa marries North Woods knotty pine with alpine luxury. The result: big rooms with fireplaces, plasma TVs and silky bed linens--plus the 18,000-square-foot Solace Spa and Avalanche Bay, a huge indoor water park.
At a steamy indoor-outdoor pool, gusts of lake-effect snow powder guests' hair. The Solace Spa, scented with sandalwood and rosemary, promises hours of relaxation. You could just appreciate winter from an indoor seat, but the rush of skiing may lure you into another run down the mountain. From $250. See Midwest Living's review. [16] (800) 462-6963; boyne.com [17]

Louis Penfield House Twenty miles east of Cleveland, a three-bedroom Frank Lloyd Wright home rests on 30 acres of wooded property.

Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa Nearly 30 miles southwest of Traverse City, this resort offers a classy attention to detail ski enthusiasts could easily get used to.

Minneapolis: Art in the city [30]
Bring a healthy dose of curiosity about art and time to take it all in when you visit Chambers Art Hotel in Minneapolis, a boutique lodging with 60 rooms and suites just off Nicollet Mall.
At the mall, spend the afternoon browsing at art galleries, bookshops and Macy's (and return in the evening for live music at Dakota Jazz Club). Back at the hotel, stroll the lobby and halls to view dozens of pieces of contemporary artwork. Even if you haven't heard of the artists on display, you'll like reading the placards created by the hotel's full-time art director.
Original art also appears in each of the stylish black-and-white-decked rooms. Outside, a courtyard holds a massive fire pit, heated cabanas and an ice bar, where bundled-up servers offer drinks from behind another piece of art--this one made from ice. From $179. See Midwest Living's review. [31] (877) 767-6990; lemeridienchambers.com [32]

Wisconsin Dells: Right for romance [41]
The real world can't get past the front gate of Sundara Inn and Spa. The resort, named for the Sanskrit word for "beautiful," hides among tall pines on a winding side road outside Wisconsin Dells. You'll be reminded how great a show sunlight, fire and grazing deer put on when you have nowhere else to be.
Float through a seamless series of hot tubs, steam rooms and heated towels. Flute music and earthy oil scents fill the halls. Fireplaces radiate from seemingly every corner, leaving no tension unmelted. Privacy is as complete as you want to make it. You can eat breakfast in the quiet atrium, but there's always room service in the 26 suites and 12 villas.
Couples can take massages in the candlelit "Spa Together" room, featuring two massage tables, two hydrotherapy tubs and yet another fireplace. Waiters carry champagne to couples at the poolside fire bowl. And while Sundara provides free chauffeur service to area entertainment, you might not choose to leave. From $269. See Midwest Living's review. [42] (888) 735-8181; sundaraspa.com [43]

Hocking Hills, Ohio: Cooking getaway [55]
Cooking with six strangers at the Inn and Spa at Cedar Falls--then serving the meal to 40 other guests--may not seem like a relaxed winter weekend at first. But Executive Chef Anthony Schulz and owner Ellen Grinsfelder are experts at running the rustic inn's culinary weekends.
Guests tackle recipes such as charred tomato salsa, fire-roasted red-pepper salad with vinaigrette and sauteed pineapple with coconut cream and caramel in phyllo cups. Schulz circulates through the kitchen, offering techniques and tips and refilling wineglasses. Pretty soon, the cooks are chatting in the kitchen like it's their own. And for the night, it is.
When the meal is done, you take a seat in the dining room, and the waitstaff serves each course. Then lean back in your chairs and relax -- happy, full, and eager to do it again someday. From $159. See Midwest Living's review. [56] (800) 653-2557; innatcedarfalls.com [57]

Kansas City, Kansas: Winter escape with kids [66]
At the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, Kansas, tweener girls in pajamas giggle while others dash to their bunk-bed suites to change into swimsuits. This is their weekend, a romp through a 281-room kids' Club Med with T-shirt-making, bedtime stories at the lobby fireplace and the Scoops Kid Spa, where girls get manicures and pedicures on a bench shaped like a banana split.
Families who wander outside find Village West, a sprawling complex with a movie theater, kid-themed restaurants and dozens of stores. But the key draw at every Great Wolf (including seven in the Midwest) is the cavernous water park.
The 49,000-square-foot space holds a spaghetti bowl of eight waterslides, a lazy river and an enormous tree fort. And parents may have to admit: Kids aren't the only ones who take great joy in standing in a swimsuit and thumbing their nose at winter outside the window. From $220. See Midwest Living's review.

Deploy! Team Tenten (出撃! テンテン班, Shutsugeki! Tenten-Han) is episode 184 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Due to the weakened military power of Konoha, Tenten, Neji, and Naruto are deployed to a weapon maker named Iō to transport 1000 shuriken and 1000 kunai. Instead to give them the weapons, he showed them useless weapons he made. While out on a snack, Team Tenten returns to find Iō missing. They find he is instead hidden behind a wall with traps inside. Tenten managed to defeat all of the obstacles and she managed to find a room full of Iō's greatest weapons. Meanwhile Gameru and Kusune have come to take more of Iō's weapons. They are wielding Dakō and Tsurukame and with them they can easily overpower Naruto's and Neji's skills. Tenten was able to beat them using Iō's latest weapon Jidanda. In the end, it shows Tenten and Neji at the bridge which crosses to Iō's living area. Tenten remarks how excited she is to see if Jidanda is finished so she can use it.
- This is the first episode with characters dressed like actual ninja.

Open Thread for Authors (Author Promo) for December 2010
Welcome to the December Promotional Thread for Authors. What's this you say? I read quite a few blogs outside the romance blogosphere and many of the big ones have a daily open thread where the commenters drive the bus.
The rules for Author Promo Night Open Thread are as follows:
The book has to be released in that month (i.e., anything released during the last week of November would be a December release)
You can post for yourself or you can have a friend post for you if the idea of posting about your book paralyzes you .
No self published authors unless you write romance. No, I am not a POD hater, I am just thinking about the manageability of the thread.
Think about the readership. I.e., does your non fiction book about psoriasis really fit?
This one is more of a guideline than a rule, but be smart about your comment because if it is just a link to your website and the title of your book, I doubt you are going to get any interest.
DA reserves the right to delete the post if it promotes objectionable content (i.e., no daddy/daughter incest recommends are going to be allowed. Sorry.)
That's it. Post away.
