AP: CIA recruited Japanese war criminals
By JOSEPH COLEMAN, Associated Press Writer
TOKYO - Col. Masanobu Tsuji was a fanatical Japanese militarist and brutal warrior, hunted after World War II for massacres of Chinese civilians and complicity in the Bataan Death March. And then he became a U.S. spy. Newly declassified CIA records, released by the U.S. National Archives and examined by The Associated Press, document more fully than ever how Tsuji and other suspected Japanese war criminals were recruited by U.S. intelligence in the early days of the Cold War. The documents also show how ineffective the effort was, in the CIA's view.
The records, declassified in 2005 and 2006 under an act of Congress in tandem with Nazi war crime-related files, fill in many of the blanks in the previously spotty documentation of the occupation authority's intelligence arm and its involvement with Japanese ultra-nationalists and war criminals, historians say.
In addition to Tsuji, who escaped Allied prosecution and was elected to parliament in the 1950s, conspicuous figures in U.S.-funded operations included mob boss and war profiteer Yoshio Kodama, and Takushiro Hattori, former private secretary to Hideki Tojo, the wartime prime minister hanged as a war criminal in 1948.
The CIA also cast a harsh eye on its counterparts � and institutional rivals � at G-2, the occupation's intelligence arm, providing evidence for the first time that the Japanese operatives often bilked gullible American patrons, passing on useless intelligence and using their U.S. ties to boost smuggling operations and further their efforts to resurrect a militarist Japan.
The assessments in the files are far from uniform. They show evidence that other U.S. agencies, such as the Air Force, were also looking into using some of the same people as spies, and that the CIA itself had contacts with former Japanese war criminals. Some CIA reports gave passing grades to the G-2 contacts' intelligence potential.
But on balance, the reports were negative, and historians say there is scant documentary evidence from occupation authorities to contradict the CIA assessment.
The files, hundreds of pages of which were obtained last month by the AP, depict operations that were deeply flawed by agents' lack of expertise, rivalries and shifting alliances between competing groups, and Japanese operatives' overriding interest in right-wing activities and money rather than U.S. security aims.
"Frequently they resorted to padding or outright fabrication of information for the purposes of prestige or profit," a 1951 CIA assessment said of the agents. "The postwar era in Japan ... produced a phenomenal increase in the number of these worthless information brokers, intelligence informants and agents."
The contacts in Japan mirror similar efforts in postwar Germany by the Americans to glean intelligence on the Soviet Union from ex-Nazis. But historians say a major contrast is the ineffectiveness of the Japanese operations.
The main aims were to spy on Communists inside Japan, place agents in Soviet and North Korean territory, and use Japanese mercenaries to bolster Taiwanese defenses against the triumphant Communist forces in mainland China.
Some of the missions detailed by the CIA papers, however, bordered on the comical.
The Americans, for instance, provided money for a boat to infiltrate Japanese agents into the Soviet island of Sakhalin � but the money, boat and agents apparently disappeared, one report said. In Taiwan, the Japanese traded recruits for shiploads of bananas to sell on the black market back home.
The operatives also were suspected of having murky links with the Communists they were assigned to undermine, the documents say. The CIA also said some agents sold the same information to different U.S. contacts, increasing their earnings, and funneled information on the American military back into the Japanese nationalist underground.
The files and historians strongly suggest that American lack of knowledge about Japan or interest in war crimes committed in Asia, and a reliance on operatives' own assessment of their intelligence skills, made U.S. officials, in the words of one CIA report, "easy to fool for a time."
"This was a bunch of Japanese nationalists taking the G-2 for a ride," said Carol Gluck, a specialist in Japanese history at Columbia University and adviser to the archives working group administering declassification of the papers. "One thing that was interesting was how absolutely nonsensical it was, of no use to anybody but the people involved. Almost funny in a way."
The informants, many of whom were held as war criminals after Tokyo's surrender and subsequently released, operated under the patronage of Maj. Gen. Charles Willoughby, a German-born, monocle-wearing admirer of Mussolini, a staunch anti-Communist and, as the chief of G-2 in the occupation government, considered second in power only to his boss, Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
Some of Willoughby's proteges were seen as prime war trial material by Allied prosecutors.
But even as the occupation authorities were recrafting Japan into a democracy, their focus was shifting to containing the Soviets. Willoughby saw the military men as key to making Japan an anti-Communist bulwark in Asia � and ensuring that Tokyo would rapidly rearm, this time as a U.S. ally.
Historians long ago concluded that the Allies turned a blind eye to many Japanese war crimes, particularly those committed against other Asians, as fighting communism became the West's priority.
Chief among the Japanese operatives was Seizo Arisue, Japan's intelligence chief at the end of the war. Arisue had been a key figure in the pro-war camp and in forging Japan's alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the 1930s.
According to the files, Arisue was soon ensconced in G-2, working with former Lt. Gen. Yorashiro Kawabe, who was a military intelligence officer in China in 1938 � to organize groups of veterans and others for underground operations.
These groups consisted of former war buddies and often retained the same chains of command and militarist ideology of the war machine that ground much of Asia into submission in the 1930s and '40s.
"It shows how we acquiesced to the Japanese ... in order to continue to build up Japan as our ally," said Linda Goetz Holmes, author of "Unjust Enrichment: How Japan's Companies Built Postwar Fortunes Using American POWs."
"The whole thing was Cold War fear and an awful lot of postwar compensation issues ... all of that was subservient to our total fear of Russia," said Holmes, also a historical adviser for the declassification project.
Indeed, that new focus brought some of Japan's most notorious wartime killers under U.S. sponsorship.
Tsuji, for instance, was wanted for involvement in the Bataan Death March of early 1942, in which thousands of Americans and Filipinos perished, and for allegedly co-signing an order to massacre anti-Japanese Chinese merchants in Malaya.
Yet none of that seemed to matter much to American intelligence. The U.S. Air Force attempted unsuccessfully to recruit him after he was taken off the war crimes list in 1949 and came out of hiding, and CIA and U.S. Army files show him working for G-2. In the 1950s he was elected to Japan's parliament. He vanished in Laos in 1961 and was never seen again.
The Army considered him a potentially valuable source, but the CIA was not impressed with Tsuji's skills as an agent. The files show he was far more concerned with furthering various right-wing causes and basking in publicity generated by controversial political statements.
"In either politics or intelligence work, he is hopelessly lost both by reason of personality and lack of experience," said a CIA assessment from 1954. Another 1954 file says: "Tsuji is the type of man who, given the chance, would start World War III without any misgivings."
Kodama was another unsavory player. A virulent anti-communist and superbly connected smuggler and political fixer, Kodama commanded a vast network of black marketeers and former Japanese secret police agents in East Asia.
The CIA, however, concluded he was much more concerned about making money than furthering U.S. interests. A gangland boss, he later played a major role in the Lockheed Scandal, one of the country's biggest post-World War II bribery cases. He died in 1984.
"Kodama Yoshio's value as an intelligence operative is virtually nil," says a particularly harsh 1953 CIA report. "He is a professional liar, gangster, charlatan and outright thief... Kodama is completely incapable of intelligence operations, and has no interest in anything but the profits."
Nowadays, the most powerful legacy of the U.S. occupation is the democratic freedoms and pacifism built into Japan's 1947 constitution. But the U.S. association with Japanese war criminals illustrates how Washington embraced nationalist and conservative forces after World War II, helping them reassert their grip on the government once the occupation ended in 1952.
"Its hard to imagine back in those days how intent the U.S. was on rapid remilitarization of Japan," said John Dower, historian and author of "Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II."
"When we talk about the emergence of neo-nationalism or a strong right wing in Japan today, this has very deep roots and it involves a very strong element of American support," he said.
Yet the ex-war criminals failed to rebuild a militarist Japan. "Prewar right-wing activists who escaped war crime charges in fact did not have much influence in the postwar period," said Eiji Takemae, historian and author of The Allied Occupation of Japan.
To the Americans, he said, "they were in fact not very useful."

Voci Nuove is a twenty-four person mixed-voice chamber choir based in Cork.
In Spring 2013 they completed their first series of concerts in Cork, Ennis, and Galway entitled 'Pitches be Crazy'. Inspired by the tremendous reception received, the group began competing, winning several categories at Cork's Feis Maitiu. They were awarded second place in the Sacred and Chamber choir categories at the Cork International Choral Festival, and also won the John Mannion Perpetual Trophy.
In October 2013 they competed at the City of Derry's Inaugural International Choral Festival where they were awarded first prize in both the International category and National Sacred Music category.
In November 2013, the choir traveled to Vienna for their first choral exchange, hosted by Amerlingchor. The group has worked closely with The King's Singers and recently, with San Francisco-based choir Chanticleer who ended their European Tour in Cork this February at the Opera House, where Voci Nuove opened the show. You may have caught them recently on RTE'sToday Show where they performed for the Valentine's Day celebrations.
They are currently preparing for their 2014 Spring Concert Series and will be competing in the Fleischmann International Competition and at the Cork International Choral Festival in May.

Under Armour Kids' Speed Force III HG Soccer Cleat
Nice Cleats....Color is Way Off
I bought these cleats for my son and they fit him well. The only negative is that this picture shows the cleats as what I would call a lime green. In reality the cleats are more of a neon yellow...definitely not green. So, if you are looking for truly green cleats, these are not what you are looking for.

Excellent shoe for the price
I bought this show for my 4yo son who just started soccer. The material of this shoe is much softer and more flexible than comparable Adidas or Umbro shoes. For an extra $5 dollars well worth it to prevent chaffing and discomfort on his foot. Plus he loves the bright color shoelaces. Shipping came faster than expected, so all in all a great buy.

Good purchase
My 5 year old son has received a lot of compliments on his shoes at soccer practice and games. I thought they were going to be too small, even though we ordered a half size larger (1.5) than his athletic shoes (thinking he'll grow into them). They appear narrow, and are actually smaller than his athletic shoes (size 1), but fit well for now.

Sunnyvale (pronounced /ˈsʌniveil/ or /ˈsʌnivəl/) is a city in Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is one of the major cities that make up the Silicon Valley. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 131,760.
The city is bordered by the San Francisco Bay and portions of San Jose to the north, Moffett Federal Airfield to the northwest, Mountain View to the west, Los Altos to the southwest, Cupertino to the south, and Santa Clara to the east. It lies along the historic El Camino Real and Highway 101.
As part of the Silicon Valley, Sunnyvale is headquarters to several high-tech companies such as Maxim Integrated Products, Juniper Networks, Palm, Inc., AMD, NetApp, Spansion, Yahoo!, Mirapoint, and Ariba. Sunnyvale is also home to several aerospace/defense companies; Lockheed Martin has a major facility in Sunnyvale, and Honeywell, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems - Marine Systems (location of the Hendy Iron Works Museum), and Spirent Communications also have offices in Sunnyvale. Sunnyvale is also the home to Onizuka Air Force Station, where its main building, locally known as the Blue Cube, is its most prominent feature. The base, named for the deceased Space Shuttle Challenger astronaut Ellison Onizuka, is the primary artificial satellite control facility of the United States armed forces.
Sunnyvale is one of the few U.S. cities to have a single unified Department of Public Safety, where all personnel are trained as firefighters, police officers, and EMTs, so they can respond to an emergency in any of the three roles.
Library services for the city are provided by the Sunnyvale Public Library, located at the Sunnyvale Civic Center.

Sunnyvale is located at 37°22′7.56″N 122°2′13.4″W / 37.3687667°N 122.037056°W.[4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 22.6 square miles (58.6 km²), of which, 21.9 square miles (55.8 km²) of it is land and 0.7 square miles (1.8 km²) of it (3.05%) is water. The elevation is 130 feet above sea level.
Like most of the San Francisco Bay area, Sunnyvale has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, moist winters and warm, very dry summers. Average daytime summer temperatures are in the 80s, and during the winter, average daytime high temperatures rarely stay below 50 °F (10 °C).

On May 4, 1998, during an unusually strong thunderstorm, Sunnyvale and its neighbor Los Altos were hit by two tornadoes of nearly F2 intensity, causing upwards of $4 million in property damage. No serious injuries were reported. Tornadoes are not common in the San Francisco Bay Area, and these were particularly unique because they exhibited anticyclonic rotation.[6][7] This was the first time that weather radar data of such high quality had been collected for an anticyclonic supercell thunderstorm with tornadoes.[8] Though smaller tornadoes are not completely unheard of in the area. Sunnyvale experienced another small tornado at the Lockheed-Martin facility at Moffett Federal Airfield two months prior to this one.[9]
On January 21, 1962, and on February 5, 1976, measurable snowfall occurred in Sunnyvale and most of the San Francisco Bay Area.
When the Spanish first arrived in the 1770s at the Santa Clara Valley, it was heavily populated by the Ohlone native Americans. In 1777, Mission Santa Clara was built by Ohlone converts to Christianity.
In 1842, Rancho Pastoria de las Borregas was granted to Francisco Estrada and his wife Inez Castro. Portions of the land given in this grant later developed into the cities of Mountain View and Sunnyvale. Two years later, in 1844, another land grant was provided to Lupe Yñigo, one of the few Native Americans to hold land grants. His land grant was first called Rancho Posolmi, named in honor of Posolmi village of the Ohlone that once stood in the area. Rancho Posolmi was later known as Rancho Ynigo.
Martin Murphy Jr. came to California with his father as part of the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party in 1844. In 1850, Martin Murphy Jr. bought a piece of Rancho Pastoria de las Borregas for $12,500. Murphy established a wheat farm and ranch named Bay View. Murphy had the first wood frame house, which was shipped from New England, in Santa Clara County built. The house was demolished in 1961 but was reconstructed in 2008 as the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum. When he died in 1884, his land was divided among his heirs.
In 1860, The San Francisco and San Jose Rail Road was allowed to lay tracks on Bay View and established Murphy Station. Lawrence Station was later established on the southern edge of Bay View.
In the 1870s, county property tax laws, imports and soil degradation caused wheat farming to become uneconomical in Santa Clara County. Small fruit orchards replaced the large wheat farms. In 1871, James and Eloise Dawson established the first fruit cannery in Santa Clara County. Fruit agriculture and canning soon became a major industry in the county. The invention of the refrigerated rail car further increased the viability of an economy based upon fruit. The fruit orchards become so prevalent that in 1886, the San Jose Board of Trade called Santa Clara County the "Garden of the World".
In the 1880s, Chinese workers made up 48 percent of the farm labor in Santa Clara County. This percentage reduced over time after the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed. In the following decade, the 1890s, multitudes of immigrants from Italy, the Azores, Portugal, and Japan arrived to work in the orchards.
In 1897, Walter Everett Crossman bought 200 acres (809,000 m²) and began selling real estate. He advertised the area as Beautiful Murphy. Later, in the 1900s, real estate developer Walter Crossman described it as "the City of Destiny". Also in 1897, Encina School opened as the first school in Murphy. Previously, children in the town had to travel to Mountain View for school.
In 1901, the residents of Murphy were informed they could not use the names Encinal or Murphy for their post office. They decided to use the name Sunnyvale for the name of their town.
Sunnyvale continued to grow and in 1904, dried fruit production began. Two years later, Libby, McNeill & Libby, a Chicago meat-packing company, decided to open its first fruit packing factory in Sunnyvale. Today, a water tower painted to resemble the first Libby's fruit cocktail can label identifies the former site of the factory.
Also in 1906, the Joshua Hendy Iron Works relocated from San Francisco to Sunnyvale after the company's building was destroyed by fire after the 1906 earthquake. The ironworks was the first non-agricultural industry in the town. The Joshua Hendy Iron Works switched from producing mining equipment to other products such as marine steam engines.
In 1912, the residents of Sunnyvale voted to incorporate, and Sunnyvale became an official city.
Fremont High School first opened in 1923. It served as a military base before the school opened and through World War II. Planes flying to and from Moffett Field, which opened in 1933, commonly stopped here for fuel top-offs. A 1948 yearbook shows a military aircraft parked at one of the buildings as students watch nearby. Fremont High School has old military buildings on its campus including a Quonset hut installed after WWII, now used as a wrestling team facility.
In 1930, Congress decided to place the West Coast dirigible base in Sunnyvale. This naval airfield was later renamed Moffett Naval Air Station and then Moffett Federal Airfield and is commonly called Moffett Field.
In 1939, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA, the forerunner of NASA) began research at Ames Laboratory.
During World War II, the war economy began a change from the fruit industry to the high-tech industry in Santa Clara County. The Joshua Hendy Iron Works built marine steam engines, naval guns and rocket launchers to aid in the war effort. As the defense industry grew, a shortage of workers in the farm industry was created. Immigrants from Mexico came to Sunnyvale to fill this void of workers.
Following the war, the fruit orchards and sweetcorn farms were cleared to build homes, factories and offices. In 1956, the aircraft manufacturer Lockheed moved its headquarters to Sunnyvale. Since then, numerous high-tech companies have established offices and headquarters in Sunnyvale, including Advanced Micro Devices and Yahoo. The first prototype of Pong, one of the first arcade videogames, was installed in Sunnyvale in September 1972, in a bar named Andy Capps,[10][11] now Rooster T. Feathers.[12]
By 2002, the few remaining orchards were demolished and replaced with homes and shops. However, there are still city-owned orchards, such as the Heritage Orchard next to the Sunnyvale Community Center.
In 1979, an indoor mall called Sunnyvale Town Center opened in what used to be a traditional downtown shopping district. After years of successful operation, the mall started to decline in the 1990s. After numerous changes in plans and ownership, the mall was demolished in 2007, and a new downtown shopping district is being constructed in its place.[13]

In the state legislature Sunnyvale is located in the 13th Senate District, represented by Democrat Elaine Alquist, and in the 22nd Assembly District, represented by Democrat Paul Fong. Federally, Sunnyvale is located in California's 14th congressional district, which has a Cook PVI of D +21 and is represented by Democrat Anna Eshoo.[16] As of March 20, 2009, Sunnyvale had 56,466 registered voters: 25,677 were Democrats, 12,716 Republicans, with the remaining 18,073 not belonging to either major party.[17] The mayor and vice-mayor of Sunnyvale are not directly elected. Instead they are selected from the city council members by the city council, serving two-year and one-year terms, respectively.
Sunnyvale has several neighborhoods, and while they are not "official" enough to be named on a map, they are the principal designations that are used by the many neighborhood associations recognized by the city.[18] These neighborhoods include
The City of Sunnyvale maintains a neighborhood association registry.
The southern half of Sunnyvale is predominantly residential, while most of the portion of Sunnyvale north of Highway 237 is zoned for industrial use.[19]
The far eastern section of El Camino Real in Sunnyvale has a significant concentration of businesses owned by South Indian immigrants.[20]
The area of the city bounded by Fremont Avenue & Cupertino to the South, and Los Altos to the West, is considered to be more desirable to reside as measured by home values.[citation needed]
There are many parks in the Sunnyvale Area. These include Las Palmas Park,[21] Ortega Park,[22] Washington Park[23] near downtown, two public golf courses,[24] and Baylands Park,[25] site of the annual Linux Picnic.
In November 2009, previously-closed portions of the main streets in downtown Sunnyvale were reopened as part of the ongoing downtown redevelopment, marking the first time in over three decades that those street blocks have been open to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. In December 2009, work was started to finish the exteriors of the residential buildings on Mckinley Ave and Washington Ave, the two office towers on Mathilda and weatherize the remaining partially-completed Redwood Square buildings until the project's resolution can be determined.
Sunnyvale is served by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (both light rail and buses) and the Caltrain commuter rail. The SR 85, US 101, SR 237, and I-280 freeways run through the city. A segment of State Route 82 runs through the center of the city, following the path of historic El Camino Real. Sunnyvale has also been listed by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly Community at the bronze level, having multiple on-street and off-street bike lanes, bicycle-activated traffic signals, and bicycle accommodations on both VTA and Caltrain. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee advises the city council on the continued development of the bicycle plan for the city.
For commercial passenger air travel, Sunnyvale is well served by three nearby international airports. The closest, Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC) is a 9.5 mile drive from downtown Sunnyvale by car. It is also accessible by Caltrain, VTA light rail and VTA bus (with both the Caltrain and Light Rail stations requiring transfer to a free shuttle bus to get to the airport terminal). The next closest is San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which is 27.7 miles by car. SFO is also transit accessible via Caltrain and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). The Metropolitan Oakland International Airport (OAK), which is 37.5 miles by car. Access to Oakland airport by public transit is possible via multiple transfers.
Sunnyvale has consistently ranked as one of the safest ten cities (for cities of similar size) in the United States according to the FBI's crime reports. From 1966 to at least 2004, Sunnyvale never placed below fifth in safety rankings among U.S. cities in its population class.[26] In 2005, Sunnyvale ranked as the 18th-safest city overall in the U.S., according to the Morgan Quitno Awards.[27]. In 2009, Sunnyvale was ranked 7th in U.S. by Forbes Magazine in an analysis of America's safest cities.[28].[29]
A long standing legend of Sunnyvale is of a ghost that haunts the town's Toys 'R' Us store. A purported psychic, Sylvia Browne, claimed to have made contact with the ghost on the 1978 TV show "That's Incredible" and named him Johnny Johnson. This story was also explored in a 1991 episode of "Haunted Lives: True Ghost Stories." Furthermore, she stated that he had been a farm hand who worked in the orchard where the toy store now stands and that he bled to death from an accidental, self-inflicted axe injury to his leg.[30][31]
The City of Sunnyvale, long-known as the Heart of Silicon Valley, can now add a new accolade: The Happiest Place in America. And it must be true, because Dr. Oz, a popular television physician who deals with a wide variety of informational topics on his Fox TV Dr. Oz Show, gave the nod to Sunnyvale. In his show, Dr. Oz says that he looked for the happiest city in America and, with some help from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, he found Sunnyvale ... [32].[33].

The reading world of a provincial town: Preston, Lancashire 1855-1900
Hobbs, Andrew (2011) The reading world of a provincial town: Preston, Lancashire 1855-1900. In: The History of Reading, Vol. 2: Evidence from the British Isles, c.1750-1950. Palgrave, Basingstoke. ISBN 9780230247550

How can we find evidence of reading in the past? And how can we interpret this evidence to create a 'history' of reading? To answer these questions, this volume presents eleven fascinating accounts of readers and reading in the British Isles over two hundred years. The authors reveal the huge variety of evidence that exists, not only of what people read, but how, and in what circumstances they read. Covering a wide range of readers and texts, the essays demonstrate how individual reading practices are influenced by – even sometimes defined by – factors such as social class, political affiliation, the place of reading, the availability of books, and changes in publishing practices. With chapters highlighting the importance of reading communities, the uses to which reading may be put, and the importance of newspapers, the volume provides a richly textured account of reading practices in Britain.

Deals inked with militants in the scenic Swat Valley and in the troubled South Waziristan district of the tribal belt appeared to be in jeopardy this week after members of the Taliban Movement of Pakistan, known by its Urdu language acronym TTP, killed more than two dozen members of a pro-government peace committee on Wednesday.
The dead bodies were found dumped along the road either shot or with their throats slit, brutal killings that shocked this nation of 170 million where there had been overwhelming support for talks with the Taliban.
Maulvi Umar, a spokesman for the TTP, described the dead, all members of a rival tribe, as "criminals."
Among ordinary Pakistanis there is concern that a return to military action against the militants could spark renewed terrorist violence here. Suicide bombings left hundreds dead in 2007, most famously the former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was campaigning on a platform to end extremism.
Her party swept to power following her death on Dec. 27, but many western officials describe a leadership void in Islamabad where party leaders in the ruling coalition have dithered for three months over proposals to impeach President Musharraf and debated whether to restore Supreme Court judges the former military ruler sacked last March.
Soaring food and fuel prices have sparked street protests and sent the Pakistani rupee into a tailspin. Federal officials have issued conflicting statements about their plans for solving the myriad problems and launched no initiatives to actually do so.
Washington is worried about the state of drift. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has blamed Islamabad's inaction on a 40 percent increase in violence across the border in Afghanistan where more than 30,000 U.S. troops are fighting as part of the NATO-led Coalition.
"The ability of the Taliban and other insurgents to cross that border and not being under any pressure from the Pakistani side of the border is clearly a concern," he said this week.
On Wednesday, the federal government appeared to concede negotiations weren't working. The federal cabinet handed responsibility for quelling militancy back to the Pakistan military, authorizing the military chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani to tackle problems in the northwest as he saw fit.
Western officials also worry Islamabad's inaction has given foreign militants space to grow stronger, and fear al Qaeda fugitives hiding out in the tribal areas are plotting fresh attacks against the West.
Of most concern is the rapid advance of the Taliban across nuclear-armed Pakistan.
"I am gravely worried about the future of this country," said Massood, the former defense secretary. "There has to be military action taken with support of the people, or before long, we will not be able to stop this."

The Bharatiya Janata Party has continued its winning streak since the Gujarat Assembly elections by winning in 47 of the 75 nagarpalikas (municipalities), the results for which were declared on Tuesday.
Chief Minister Narendra Modi's sway over semi-urban areas, besides major cities such as Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot and Surat, was evident from the results that had the Congress bagging only nine municipalities, while there was a hung verdict in 10 nagarpalikas and Independents would rule the roost in nine other local bodies.
The Congress, which decided on senior leader Shankersinh Vaghela as Leader of the Opposition after much debate, has not been able to score over the BJP and continues to be in a leadership crisis.
The BJP candidates had won uncontested as many as 82 nagarpalika and mahanagarpalika seats.
State BJP spokesperson and former Minister I.K. Jadeja claimed that the series of victories was yet another tribute to the Modi government's development policies.
Mr. Jadeja said the BJP won all 21 seats in Surendranagar district's Halvad nagarpalika, which was earlier controlled by the Congress, while 12 out of 21 seats in Patan district's Chanasma nagarpalika went to the BJP. All of them won without a contest.
Similarly, two contestants in the Junagadh Municipal Corporation won uncontested while nine candidates of the ruling party romped home unchallenged in Kutiyana nagarpalika of Porbander district. Similarly, nine of the 27 seats had BJP candidates winning sans any opponents.

LIVE AUDIO | LIVE STATS | GAME NOTES LIONS KICK OFF ROAD SWING AT ARMY Columbia women's basketball hits the road to face Army as part of a three-game road swing. LAST TIME OUT The Lions led for part of the first half and trailed by just two points at halftime, but Morgan State pulled away for a 60-51 victory on Friday at the Hill Field House. After Morgan State took an early lead, a steal by Tyler Simpson helped Columbia stay in the game as Brittany Simmons hit a shot to make it 6-4 with 17:19 to go. Simmons, who scored Columbia's first seven points, continued to put Columbia on the board with an and-one at the 15:02 mark to bring Lions within one, 8-7. The Lions followed up with a crucial stop at the other end, which led to two free throws by Simpson to give the Lions their first lead of the game, 9-8, with 14:28 on the clock.The first half remained close, closing out with a 26-24 lead by the Bears. The Lions brought it to 34-30 with 16:24 to go in the second half after scoring four unanswered points, including an and-one by Simpson. Four points by Lizzy Stachon made it 46-42 with 7:18 to go, but Morgan State responded with 8-0 run, including five straight points from the charity stripe, and did not look back in handing Columbia the loss. ALL-TIME SERIES VS. ARMY Army and Columbia have played each other 12 times since the all-time series began in 1992-93, with the Black Knights leading, 9-3. Coach Paul Nixon is 1-2 against Army, garnering his first win last season as Courtney Bradford scored 17 points and added 12 rebounds with three steals to lead Columbia to a 63-58 win in Levien Gym.
SCOUTING THE BLACK KNIGHTS The Black Knights are currently 5-1 and riding a four game winning streak. Army is coming off a two-win road trip out west, defeating Weber State on 11/21 and Air Force on 11/23. The Black Knights are 1-1 on their home court at Christl Arena with its only setback of the season coming at West Point against St. Francis (N.Y.) on 11/12. SENIOR LEADERSHIP Once again, Columbia brings back two seniors who will be crucial to Columbia's success in the 2012-13 season. Senior co-captains Brittany Simmons and Tyler Simpson will lead the Lions into the year. Simpson earned Honorable Mention All-Ivy recognition following a breakout junior season last year and led Columbia in scoring, averaging 12.6 points per game, including a career-high 26 points against Brown. Simmons bounced back from an injury in 2010-11 to see action in 18 games, during which she posted a season-high nine points against Vermont in the season opener and again vs. Morgan State. (N)OTT JUST A ROOKIE Columbia first-year Bailey Ott was selected as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week on November 19. Ott stepped it up in a big way to help lift Columbia to its first win of the season against Fairleigh Dickinson. The 5-11 forward/center scored a game-high 20 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field while grabbing eight rebounds in the 54-47 victory. Earlier that week, Ott finished one point and one rebound shy of her first career double-double as she recorded nine points and nine boards in the loss to Wagner.
BRADFORD BLOCK PARTY Courtney Bradford has eight blocks this season, including a career-high four blocks at Vermont, and currently leads the Ivy League with 2.7 blocks per game.
ON THE AIR All home women's basketball contests can be seen and heard live via webcast on gocolumbialions.com. In tonight's contest at Army, play-by-play announcer Lance Medow will be calling all the action. Medow, who has done work for MLB.com, giants.com, Sirius XM Satellite Radio and MTV Networks, is in his seventh season as the play-by-play personality for Columbia women's basketball games.

A spokesman with the Southwest Area Incident Management Team 3 says the Assayii Lake Fire has grown to 11,000 acres in the Chuska Mountains. They believe the fire could reach Sheep Springs and Naschitti by Monday night.
The Naschitti community has been instructed to be prepared to evacuate. Residents have been advised that people with breathing problems can evacuate. Evacuees can go to Tohatchi High School and Tohatchi Middle School.
Classes for Newcomb and Naschitti schools are also canceled Tuesday.
Sheep Springs residents should also be prepared to evacuate if needed.
Around 700 firefighters will arrive to the area by Monday evening. Officials say the wind is preventing firefighters from getting close to the fire and they expect winds to worsen Tuesday.
The spokesman said they may have to wait until Wednesday before they can get firefighters close to the fire.
According to a post on the Navajo Nation Dept. of Fish & Wildfire's Facebook page, a Type 2 Command Team is now in charge of all operations with assistance & collaboration from Navajo Nation.

Ramesh, A and Chockalingam, A and Milstein, LB (2003) Performance analysis of TCM with generalized selection combining on Rayleigh fading channels. In: IEEE Communications Letters, 7 (7). pp. 296-298.

We derive the computational cutoff rate, R-o, for coherent trellis-coded modulation (TCM) schemes on independent indentically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels with (K, L) generalized selection combining (GSC) diversity, which combines the K paths with the largest instantaneous signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) among the L available diversity paths. The cutoff rate is shown to be a simple function of the moment generating function (MGF) of the SNR at the output of the (K, L) GSC receiver. We also derive the union bound on the bit error probability of TCM schemes with (K, L) GSC in the form of a simple, finite integral. The effectiveness of this bound is verified through simulations.

Department of Education's Federal Direct Loan Program:

Under the Department of Education's Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP), students or their parents borrow money directly from the federal government through the vocational, undergraduate, or graduate schools that students attend. FDLP offers four loan types, including consolidation loans, which allow borrowers to combine multiple loans, possibly from different federal student loan programs, into a single loan with one monthly payment and a fixed borrower interest rate. The other three FDLP loan types provide variable borrower interest rates. The reported outstanding gross balance of FDLP loans to borrowers was $84.5 billion as of September 30, 2003, and the related allowance for subsidy--or the cost Education expected to incur on the outstanding loans--was $657 million. The key driver of the FDLP cost to the government is the difference between the borrower interest rate and Education's financing cost or borrowing rate from Treasury. Because of concerns about Education's reliance on estimates to project FDLP costs and a lack of historical information on which to base those estimates, the House Committee on the Budget previously asked us to review key aspects of Education's cost estimates for FDLP. Our January 2001 report identified the need for Education to improve its cost estimation process to provide more meaningful information. Recently, at the request of the Committee's Chairman, we assessed Education's progress in addressing our January 2001 recommendations and we updated certain cash flow information related to FDLP. This letter summarizes the information provided during our briefing on February 18, 2004.
In January 2001, we reported on several key aspects of Education's cost estimates for FDLP, including its financing and cash flows. Our work identified the need for Education to make a number of improvements to provide Congress and program decision makers with more meaningful cost estimate information upon which to make timely and well-informed judgments concerning FDLP. As a result, we made five recommendations for Education to improve its subsidy cost estimate information. Since our last report, we found that Education has taken actions that substantially addressed three of our five prior recommendations. To address our recommendation to develop a method to acquire actual FDLP cash flow data on the same basis as the cash flow model, Education implemented a data system to readily acquire such FDLP actual data that could be used to facilitate a detailed comparison of estimated and actual loan performance. To address our recommendation to develop an approach to directly factor consolidations into the cash flow model, Education conducted an analysis of loan payoff patterns resulting from consolidations and used this analysis to develop prepayment assumptions that directly factor consolidations into the cash flow model. To address our recommendation to prepare interest rate reestimates, Education implemented procedures to prepare interest rate reestimates for its budget submissions and financial statements. While Education made important improvements to its cost estimate information, it has not taken action to fully resolve our recommendations to (1) formalize sensitivity analysis of its cash flow model assumptions to ensure that the most significant assumptions are identified, or (2) develop and implement a method of comparing detailed estimated and actual cash flows to more thoroughly assess loan performance estimates over time. Education officials agreed that additional procedures related to sensitivity analysis and comparing estimated and actual loan performance would be beneficial. We updated FDLP cash flow information presented in our 2001 report. Amounts borrowed from Treasury totalled $137 billion from fiscal years 1995 through 2003, of which about $92 billion was outstanding as of September 30, 2003. Appropriations received, which are meant to cover the estimated subsidy cost of the program, totalled about $2.7 billion for loans approved during fiscal years 1995 through 2003. From fiscal years 1995 through 2003, total cash outflows exceeded total cash inflows by about $10.7 billion, mainly because interest Education paid to Treasury was significantly greater than interest receipts from borrowers. Over this same period, FDLP's actual key cash flows (principal receipts, interest receipts, origination fees, and collections on defaults) were less than estimated by about $4.2 billion. Over the course of our work, we noted that Education did not disclose in its fiscal year 2003 financial statements an explanation of significant factors affecting a reestimate of about $5.1 billion, as required by Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards No. 18. While this information was available, agency officials told us that it was not included in the financial statement disclosures because the disclosures were already very lengthy.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Department of Education provided additional disclosures explaining the significant factors contributing to the reestimates of its direct loan program, including the effect of changes in borrower interest rates, as required by established accounting guidance in its fiscal year 2004 financial statements.
Recommendation: To provide more meaningful cost estimate information that can be effectively used by Congress and program decision makers to make timely and well-informed judgments about FDLP, the Department of Education's Chief Financial Officer should provide additional financial statement disclosures that explain the significant factors, including the effect of changes in borrower interest rates, contributing to reestimates of FDLP, as required by established accounting guidance.

As the battle for control of the U.S. Senate comes down to the wire in the coming weeks, Americans should ask all Republicans if they remember how to govern. Because, if they do win Senate control (God forbid; but it could happen), they will suddenly be faced with ownership of the problems in Washington, and they will have to lay off the insipid Obama-bashing and actually govern this nation.
A key part of good government is accountability to the taxpayers. We have seen in the recent IRS targeting scandal just what can happen when government officials and agencies are not held accountable. The Federal Reserve, or Fed, should not be excluded from this accountability. The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States and has a unique role in our financial system. The monetary policy decisions of the Federal Reserve affect every American.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
Hearing from those living and working in Virginia's Fifth District continues to be my greatest resource as I serve them. Their input has brought to light problems created by some of the big government programs coming out of Washington.
I'm an optimist, of sorts. If anyone were to say to me, "It can't get any worse," I'll reply "Oh yes it can!" My sort of optimism has been getting a serious workout in recent years as I watch my country slowly strangle itself. Out of control government spending is one way we are doing it.
By Steve Wilkerson Bedford County District 3 Supervisor
Nine months into my first year as a Bedford County Supervisor! I've learned a lot……mostly from folks like you. For instance, I now understand the operation of the Animal Shelter and have been educated regarding different feral cat management techniques.
By Senator Steve Newman Virginia District 23
The General Assembly met in Special Session on Thursday, approving some important changes to the Commonwealth's biennial budget and electing judges to fill several vacancies in courts around the state. We also welcomed a new Senator, while the House welcomed two new Delegates.
Delegate Kathy J. Byron (R-Bedford), Chairman of the Virginia Health Insurance Reform Commission, last week addressed her House colleagues on the revelations that as many as 250,000 Virginians will receive notices this year that their health care coverage will be cancelled under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
Speaking shortly after the House reconvened the Special Session, Delegate Byron delivered the following remarks:
The United States is a symbol of liberty across the globe. We enjoy freedoms like no other nation in the world, and we must remain ever vigilant against threats from aggressive terrorist groups that would seek to destroy our very way of life, harm our citizens at home and abroad, or attack our allies.
On Wednesday, the President addressed our nation regarding the terrorist group, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Coming just one day before the thirteenth anniversary of that tragic morning of September 11, 2001, it was essential that he engage with the American people about this very real, pervasive threat.

"Girldrive provides a wide-angle snapshot of contemporary feminism, and raises provocative questions about our responsibilities to the movement." — Elle.com "Girldrive is gutsy in its endeavor and gives agency to emerging feminist voices ... This work's very publication shows how far you can go if you only have the drive." — Bust magazine "A fascinating tour-de-force ... [Nona and Emma's] voices struck me as distinctly young and alive and unapologetic." — Courtney Martin of Feministing "Nona and Emma have done what I suspect many women, young and old, have always dreamed of doing: Hit the open road with nothing more than a partner in crime, a full tank of gas, a playlist of good music, a pad of paper, a camera, and an unyielding curiosity. Girldrive is part travel diary, part social document, part art exhibit, and, sadly, part eulogy. Not only do I highly recommend Girldrive, I have to admit that I'm insanely jealous I didn't think of it first." — Anna Holmes, Founder/Editor, Jezebel.com "Girldrive is a fascinating, fiery, dramatic whirlwind tour through modern-day women's lives. It's likely to make you excited, impassioned, and at times infuriated--and that's a good thing. It lets its diversity of opinion speak to you rather than for you." — Rachel Kramer Bussel, Editor, Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women; Host, In The Flesh Reading Series Přečíst více...

I'm waiting for it to show up on Amazon then I'll grab one to play with. Might give it to my parents. I don't think it would be as useful for me since I have a full computer hooked into every TV in my house.
Its available on play. I just ordered one. My TV has a Netflix app but isnt updated at all. XBOX is ok...but would be nice to control everything from my laptop/phone.
Doesnt ship until August 2nd tho.

January 25th, 2009 #70Awesome stuff, both the life studies and the concepts. Awesome.
January 25th, 2009 #71-Delmar: Danke! The university is not bad, but i'm just studying the wrong thing and unfortunately theres no real alternative in vienna. Classical, academic painting is something you rarely see around here. Anyway... i think moving on without a degree isn't necessarily bad, but at least shuts some doors for you. I'm sure the quality of your craftsmanship is what counts in the end though... I'm "ok" with using the time i will spend studying to improve as much as i can. Good luck!
-Daniel², revenebo: Thank you for your comments - glad my work appeals to you.
My entry for the current Chow #144 themed "Siamese Twins" in a postapocalyptic setting. Made the drawing in one session and it was great fun to render out a drawing that detailed. Something i should do more i guess...
February 15th, 2009 #72Not much going on currently, but heres a little study i did this morning. Got some fresh air in the last days, so i hope i'm getting more productive again.
February 15th, 2009 #73
February 15th, 2009 #74wow u re doing good i love yor dravings they are fantasticc their lines cool and clear
February 15th, 2009 #75It's nice to see the painterly approach to characters and other paintings in here. I came frome drawing lines, which is easier but much less awarding. The skull is awsome, nice imitation of real brushstrokes.
February 25th, 2009 #76Thank you once again for the friendly comments!
-Janos: I'm coming from drawing too, would call myself more a drawer than a painter, but during the last year i tried to equal out those two techniques, hoping i could blend them a bit more together. At least thats what you read and hear from several people: "Paint like you draw."
So... it ain't much unfortunately, but i wanted to share this little sketch with you guys. I like it. A funky house at the cliffs. I maybe use it for a painting in the future. After complaining about being lazy in my last post i got blasted away with work and i wish i could share some of it, but for now i'll have to keep quiet.
February 25th, 2009 #77amazing stuff dude!! rock-solid works..looking forward to see more!!
February 26th, 2009 #78Thanks for the comments on my sketchbook! You have some awesome works here! Keep pushing it!

Thanks a lot for the charming comments!
Heres a kind of logo i painted for a friend of mine whos playing in a metalband. The idea was to just get a logo for promotional things, but i think they'll use it on their next album cover too. Their ideas were quite clear, but i had my artistic freedom in choice of color and overall style or course. I'm pretty happy with the result, still it's not something i usually tend to do.
If you want to check out some austrian rock solid metal, go visit their site: http://www.reap.at
I recently watched blade runner, yeah once again, and i really fell in love with the lightning in one of the first scenes, so i decided to do a small study of it. Nothing special, but i though it's still worth to share.
March 15th, 2009 #83I instantly recognized the Blade Runner scene, even before you mentioned it. Good job on the latest updates, Dario.
Keep doing you
March 22nd, 2009 #84Thanks, Vulgar! Good to read i'm on the right track... honestly, i'm currently not feeling like I am.
Anyway... heres a new sketchbook page, gouache, and a little pleinair study with oils i did last weekend in the woods.

Hi Dario,
Like I already told you, I really like your house on a cliff. I did something similar years ago. Maybe I should post it, just for fun.
Also nice study of Blade Runner. If you're interested in movie style lighting you should check out Scorsese's Casino where Robert Richardson really did some spectacular cinematography. Glossy and painterly with selective pools of highlight. Beautiful and stylised!
There's also a great book on the art of cinematography by John Alton called "Painting with Light". Highly recommendable.
I'd like to say something about your plein air paintings, but I haven't really any experience with that so better not.
However, I wonder why you feel you aren't on the right track ... ?
April 11th, 2009 #86Beautifull Sketchbook. Love your draftsmanship.
April 25th, 2009 #87Thanks, Bill and Thomas!
Heres a troll sketch and a digital lifepainting I did last week. About 3 hours, all done in painter 10.
April 25th, 2009 #88Such beautiful sketches! This last life painting is nice but her foot seems kind of odd, like it should show foreshortening a little more or be at a different angle or something. And that is a wonderfully nasty troll
"It's just that boys at their age have unchecked desires coursing, nay RAGING as a tempest would, through their tingling nethers!!"

I finally started a SKETCHBOOK! Hoorays!
April 25th, 2009 #89Awesome stuff Dario! Reaaally nice steampunk and aztec concepts. Also loving the studies, esp the recent moose gouache.

Hey nice work Dario
Maybe both of the ankle joints blend too seamlessly with the shins, and need a little more definition, but I hadn't actually noticed it until Artangela brought it up. But now that we're on it, maybe the joints should be emphasized more across the board, ankles, knees, hips, elbows etc. to more clearly show where the form breaks. I don't know if you wanted a seamless look, if yes then nevermind.
I like the lighting on the foot. Adds interest, very nice!
Hope everything is going well.

IT > Information Technology > About Us
As of a decade ago, Information Technology's role has transformed from being two divisions of academic computing and administrative computing services into a single unit that facilitates and fosters technological innovations across the institution — moving the University ahead of the technology curve to build a competitive edge in higher education and to offer modern tools to our students, faculty, staff members and administrators.
The Information Technology department is responsible for managing all aspects of the University's information technology operations, including administrative systems and computing, databases, dashboards, networking, video and telecommunications infrastructure. Information Technology also provides oversight for University-wide information systems, compliance and security in accordance with policies set forth by University Counsel. Information Technology collaborates with Academic Affairs to implement a unified, comprehensive learning management system and online education initiatives. Information Technology also manages business process improvement initiatives across the University.
Campus Information Technology offices are located at the Brooklyn and Post campuses to provide faculty, students, staff and administrators with a wide-range of technologysupport services. Our resources and methods of access are detailed among these pages. Each campus HelpDesk is responsible for distributing all hardware and software to faculty and staff, maintaining scores of general access and discipline-specific student computing locations, and supporting these resources throughout the academic year. The campus departments of Information Technology are also staffed by professionals who can assist with all your questions, both the general and specific, concerning email, PeopleSoft, Blackboard, Sharepoint, My LIU systems, telephone and telecommunications, the card1 system, purchasing, and the myriad other computing resources made available to the LIU Community.
While the campus HelpDesk is always a good beginning point for finding answers to your questions, additional resource locations have been created to provide hands-on, 1:1 assistance. For staff and faculty, the ITRC at Brooklyn and at Post serves multiple functions for exposing instructors and administrators to new technologies and increasing their fluency both in the classroom and in support of the classroom. Workshops offered each semester are designed to extend individual capability in widely-used applications like Blackboard, Sharepoint, and office productivity software.The ITRC staff also meet with small groups by department, or individuals, to consult on improving both the efficiency and ease of working within an ever-expanding range of tools.
Students also have a specialized resource: The Center for Student Information. The CSI locations at each campus field questions and requests from students across the University. From learning how to navigate and make the most of their My LIU accounts, making payments online, or submitting assignments digitally, the CSI offices are staffed with friendly, helpful people who care about students. Students receive help from the CSI by email, phone, or in-person and online through an extensive video- and pdf-based tutorials located among these pages. Additionally, gaming tournaments and other fun programming round out a completely student-centric extension of Information Technology. The feedback CSI staff receive from students through their various modes of interaction is used to inform and improve the educational product LIU provides.
The Technology Infrastructure Office is responsible for building, maintaining and safeguarding the University's computer and telecommunication networks. Staff members are distributed across the University locations to maintain all aspects of networked devices, telephone services and video services on LIUNET, the University's network. This Office also creates and upholds technology security policies, procedures and controls to keep the University's data safe and to optimize the functionality of its hardware, software and other technological resources. This group also handles disaster recovery operations.
The Information Systems Office plays a significant role in advancing the University's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Utilizing Oracle's PeopleSoft solutions, it has partnered with the Project Management Office and administrative departments across the University to integrate general ledger, purchasing and accounts payables, human resources, payroll and student administrative information functions. This office is responsible for maintaining all administrative applications and large-scale systems. Information Systems continues to respond to the needs of University students, faculty, staff members and administrators by providing additional state-of-the art, self-service functionalities.
The Project Management Office supports University initiatives in collaboration with University offices through the integration and coordination of project management methodologies and information technology, aiming to improve University business processes and to increase efficiency through the use of technology.

Crucial's Ballistix Tactical memory sits in the middle of the Ballistix line between the Ballistix Sport and the Ballistix Elite. Geared towards gamers the Ballistix Tactical Tracer memory features a very cool heatspreader, activity-indicating LEDs on the top edge, ground-effect LEDs along the bottom and temperature sensors that you can monitor with Crucial's M.O.D. software. The kit we are taking a look at today is made up of 4 BLT4G3D1869DT2TXOB 4GB modules. So that gives us a 16GB kit running at 1866Mhz with timings of 9-9-9-27 at 1.5v. Is this the kit you want in your gaming rig? Read on to find out!

Pre-Ordered! Now I have like 270 coins left. Was waiting for something worth it like this!. Love Luigi.
This game was at least a 9.0 back when it was released, if not more. Loved it. It was ahead of its time in 1997.

Object of Desire: Nissin Di700 FlashOCTOBER 03, 2013 By Jesse Will The Di700 represents the Speedlight simplified. It's a third-party flash that boasts a couple of interesting features that better other flashes in its price category. The first is the color LED control panel on its back, which, along with a scrolling selector dial, makes changing settings clear and easy.
The second is increased head rotation—180 degrees from right to left, and up to 90 degrees upwards or -7 degrees down—which allows for more bounce lighting options. The third is an external power socket that can be connected to Nissin's new Power Pack PS 8 ($249) to shorten recycle time and increase the amount of flashes. The flash now covers focal lengths from 24mm to 200mm (its previous iteration topped out at 105mm),
and has a guide number of 54 at 200mm. Standard and 3.5mm PC terminal sockets can be used for synchronization, and the flash supports high-speed sync up to an impressive 1/8,000 of a second. The Di700 is available for Canon, Nikon and Sony digital SLRs.
Price: $299

I just need to know what typeface is used for the "Who's Got It Better Than Us?" portion of this design.

For "NOBODY," add a shadow to this...
For the rest, this is ALMOST cigar-worthy...
For 'NOBODY", try reversed Shadowed Serif, a revival of an old wood typeface.
