While North Korean leaders have been called bellicose, are some of Guam's politicians reacting with meant-for-media prose?
The question came up after University of Guam President Robert Underwood made a comment, somewhat lightheartedly, at a panel discussion on North Korea Thursday. The local university sponsored the discussion.
In light of North Korea's threats to launch a missile attack, and as the international press coverage of the issue mentions Guam as a potential target, Underwood said there's a question of what Guam should do in this context.
"Public officials are required to do something; they are required to say something because they are elected to represent Guam,", said Underwood, a former member of the U.S. Congress. "And Guam so infrequently gets mentioned in international news," Underwood said, "that the temptation is great."
A former member of the House Armed Services Committee, Underwood advocated for a missile defense system for Guam.
Some of the island's elected officials have given TV interviews, sent letters to federal government and congressional leaders and issued statements on the North Korean issue.
"Obviously you don't want to waste a good crisis," Underwood said, drawing laughter from the crowd of UOG students and island residents in general.
"The temptation is great -- there's mention of Guam, ... (and a local elected official thinks): 'I'm gonna write a letter to everybody who's connected with this and tell them: Hey, do this, do that,' ... 'I'm going to get the opportunity to go on TV and do interviews,'" Underwood said. "And of course the temptation is great to, perhaps, say something a little bit more than should be said, but that's understandable." He did not name specific politicians.
"My point was that elected officials have to respond and that is to be expected, and that if an opportunity presents itself to make a strong case for the island, one would take it," Underwood said yesterday, explaining his comment a day earlier. "I wouldn't call it embellishing as much as taking advantage of the opportunity to get the word out on Guam."
Sen. Frank Aguon Jr., Underwood's onetime gubernatorial election running mate, recently wrote letters to national leaders about North Korean threats mentioning Guam. Aguon sought the stationing of a missile defense system on Guam, and sent another letter asking State Department Secretary John Kerry to visit the island in light of North Korea's Guam-mentioned threats.
Guam Gov. Eddie Calvo, when interviewed recently on CNN, said North Korea could get "one lucky shot." He made the statement in response to a question whether he was 100 percent confident Guam would be protected from a missile attack.
A CNN news team interviewed Guam Delegate Madeleine Bordallo earlier this week, her office confirmed yesterday. Her recorded interview was expected to go on air some time today or this weekend, her office said.
Underwood said he did commend Calvo and Bordallo for how they've handled the international spotlight.

I smoothed out the track data and remove data points to meet XXX number criteria (using turn radius criteria - if anyone out there actually cares), but I think there are too many track versions already and I fear at this point in time it would just add to the confusion......................................... ..but if SOMEONE CAN ONLY USE smoothed GPX files with less than 1000 data points here they are: DAY1 SMOOTHED = 825 DATA POINTS PS.

For those folks using Garmin 60CSX and the like the maximum data points to a track the device will accept is 500.
Before you upload the tracks to you device from Basecamp or Mapsource make sure you have set the preferences in the application to "simplify track by removing intermediate points" in the transfer option. In Basecamp for Mac it is found here: Basecamp menu/preferences/transfers |

I've been calling it the Beekman Tower because I think any building that juts into your local sky, you get to name. But it is officially 8 Spruce Street. Other amenity include a swimming pool on the 50th floor. I'm being snarky, but it is a beautiful building, sculptural, sleek and definitely not boring. It has the feel of the science fiction future of the Zeppelin moment a few years back. People are living there already. Seventy six stories, they must have a spectacular view.

Director: Dirty D
Distribution Companies: Kick Ass Pictures
DVD Extras: None
Taia, Others, Raven (IV), April (IV), Kim (III)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Specialty Type: Bukkake
Raven is a busty teen that loves to party. Taia is a fun loving party girl that loves cum. April is an 18 year old hippie chick that is all about sharing and free love. Kim is a young Ebony slut wife that Dirty D has corrupted.
Dirty D and his gang of dirty cohorts have their way with four amateur girls and spray them with spunk. It's really more of a gangbang than it is a bukkake.
The disc opens with an 18-year-old buxom brunette named Raven and her impressive natural F-size rack. Taia is a big breasted blonde who takes one after another load on the face until she's completely glazed. And Kim is a black girl who has appeared in a previous Dirty D title. She returns for further corruption.

The Apostolic Fathers - Mike Reeves (mp3)
At Theology Network: The Apostolic Fathers (Mike Reeves)
Because church history is cool. And because 'We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants.' (Bernard of Chartres)
Part 1, Part 2
ht: Dan Hames
4 comments:
"church history is cool..." - yeah, those early church fathers (and Augustine and Luther) were all such wonderful philo-Semites and did so much to provoke the Jewish people to gospel jealousy!
(Sorry for the sarcy tone, it's nothing personal, but in my experience far too many evangelicals are unaware of the long and depressing history of "Christian" anti-Jewish incitment...)Granted it's a personal issue for you, you do seem to always comment about it...
I'm well aware of the history of Christians to sin.
One of the things I appreciate about Mike is he's not covering up the errors - it must be the case that church history isn't just about approving all who went before, but that we can learn both from their strengths and from their failings - so we can avoid their mistakes.Thanks Dave & Dan (have seen your response) - I don't mean to come across as a boring one-issue pony but when (as happened last year) I talk to a CU staff worker at a uni with one of the largest Jewish student populations in the country and find that (through no fault of his own) he knows next to nothing about these things, it strikes me that there is a gap in Christians' knowledge - which needs to be addressed. Dan - I'm glad Mike does address it and he seems to go about it in the right way.

Jon DeCapua May 7, 2012 at 10:44am
do you need more Dudes with Discs as propogator's? what times would i have to be there? two rounds or just one? it is mother's day weekend but i could see what i can do.
also won't be at scrambles tomorrow, just got tickets to the tribe game. so no donated money by me!
katie meloy May 6, 2012 at 2:35pm
@ Randy-they are updating the PDGA website all the time. If you want to PM me her info I'll add her on here.
Randy Allen May 5, 2012 at 9:26pm
I registered my 13 year old daughter, Michaela Allen on Thursday, and haven't seen her on any lists. Is there anything else I need to do?
katie meloy April 26, 2012 at 4:05pm
Attention Ladies:
If you were on the fence before, let it be known that everyone will still be getting a player's pack if they participate in this event. You have until May 4th to register.
Thanks again to all the guys who have offered to be propogators so that we can make this thing happen.
katie meloy April 9, 2012 at 9:53am
Don't miss out on the player's pack!!
Last week to register and be eligible to receive one. Registration will remain open for the event.
katie meloy April 6, 2012 at 1:16pm
Think we may still be in need of a few boys rated above 800. If you're not doing anything this weekend and can spare yourself to play 2 rounds I would really appreciate it.
katie meloy April 3, 2012 at 1:04pm
ATTENTION LADIES!!!!!!!! As of today, there are only 4 ladies including myself registered for this event. If you want to ensure that you receive a player's pack you must be pre-registered by April 15th. Please make sure if you haven't done so already you do. I would hate for anyone to miss out!!

If there aren't any other tourneys going on, I will be more than happy to play, and maybe Mikey too, both of us are over 800 rated.
katie meloy March 16, 2012 at 2:27pm
Reminder to the ladies who are playing... You need to pre-register through the PDGA in order to make sure that you receive a player's pack. This must be done by April 15th.
katie meloy March 14, 2012 at 9:27am
You're disgusting. Are you willing to play as a propogator? Your hair is long enough for you to pass as a female.. haha
Jon DeCapua March 14, 2012 at 8:32am
the name of this tourny is disgusting.
katie meloy March 13, 2012 at 8:29pm
Here is the official link to the event sign up on the PDGA website.
katie meloy March 13, 2012 at 2:41pm
Attention ladies: I have registered this event with the PDGA but it is not showing up on the registration page. You are still able to pre-register without selecting the event you will be playing. You must pre-register to receive a player's pack. Here is the link:
katie meloy March 12, 2012 at 11:05pm
I'll check on that, thanks Kevin :)
Kevin Trepal March 12, 2012 at 4:48pm
I was down at Portage Lakes yesterday and I must have seen at least 4 or 5 girls chuckin some discs. You should throw a flier up on their board...
katie meloy March 12, 2012 at 2:23pm
I just registered the event through the PDGA website. Once it gets updated everyone should register through it so that they ensure they get a player's pack. PK, I listed myself as TD mainly because that was easiest, but I may still need some fellas to be propogators. Hopefully we get more ladies signed up!

In the ''long'' history of submarines being used in warfare, which goes back ''at least'' to 1775... how many times do you think a submerged submarine has sunk another submerged submarine? 500? 200? 100? 50? 10?
Actually, just once, during Operation Caesar in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, when HMS ''Venturer'' sank ''U-864''. (Good thing for the Allies too, since the ''U-864'' was transporting advanced technology to Japan). A second example, lacking citation, involves the captured German U-Boat later re-launched as HMS ''Morse''. The ''Morse'' was used by the Royal Navy to patrol the sea lanes leading back to the German home bases in western France, the intention being for returning German U-Boats, relaxing security on the last stage home, to see nothing more than a friendly submarine. Which would then run up the White Ensign and fire a spread of torpedoes at them. The ''Morse'' sank several U-Boats in surface attacks and may have made one kill while submerged.
But if you were to believe Hollywood, it's a regular occurrence. No matter what war, or what type of subs are involved... they will be fighting underwater.
During World War I and World War II, submarines were almost entirely ''episodically'' submersible torpedo boats, obliged to run on the surface using their air-breathing engines (mostly diesel-electric propulsion systems) for higher speed, greater endurance, and to charge the batteries that allowed them to maintain steerage and very slow speeds underwater. ''While surfaced'', submarines were just as vulnerable to torpedo attacks made by submerged enemy submarines as any other vessel, but because of their lower profiles (small conning towers, decks almost awash) were difficult to detect visually, and thus rarely attacked by enemy submarines.
Of the 52 submarines lost by the U.S. Navy in World War II, at least one - USS ''Corvina'' (SS-226) - was confirmed torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine while running on the surface, while the Japanese lost five submarines to American submarine attacks. Three of the Japanese losses were credited to USS ''Batfish'' during a single three-day period in February 1945. During WWI, a US sub spotted a submerged U-boat and was about to attack it when the ''U-boat'' exploded all on its own; it is surmised that the U-boat attempted to attack the US boat and its torpedo exploded in the tube.
That said it does reflect actual military doctrine despite the sparsity of major naval conflict since World War II. This is because due to the nature of water acoustics and sonar a submarine has the best chance of successfully detecting another submarine other real time methods are comparatively deaf. Whilst the crew of the ''Venturer'' only [[AwesomeByAnalysis had paper, pencils and decent maths skills]] to plot a firing solution, modern subs have computers and advanced homing torpedoes - had the UsefulNotes/ColdWar turned hot after the 1960s (not before then), there certainly would have been underwater submarine battles--and in fairness, that is when a large number of such sub battles are set (thank you, Creator/TomClancy!). NATO and Warsaw Pact submarines followed each other about all the time. Current American naval doctrine is to have each carrier battle group (structured around a ''Nimitz''- or ''Gerald Ford'' class supercarrier) accompanied by two [[TypesOfNavalShips nuclear attack submarines (SSN)]] which include enemy sub-killing in their tasking - these are generally known as "Hunter-Killer" submarines.
[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* ''Submarine707R'' (Mission 2)
* ''TheSilentService''
* ''{{Cyborg 009}}'' features a scene where the team's mobile base is being pursued separately by both an American and Soviet sub. The heroes make their getaway when the two subs notice each other and begin fighting.
* [[BlueSubmarineNo6 Blue Sub 6]], although it's less sub on sub and more sub on monster whales.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': The last episodes of season 1 feature the huge submarine from which the hero operate trying to and succeeding in evading an American Los Angeles class submarine captained by an officer obsessed with Mithril's mythical submarine unofficially called "Toy Box". While the Tuatha de Danaan doesn't fire a single torpedo, the Americans on the other hand do, she (and it's a definite she at that point as the "female" AI commanding it was linked to the shows resident tsundere Kaname Chidori) does get to pull some very impressive maneuvers verging on the impossible for such a huge sub, and forces the American sub to the surface.
* The submarine I-401 from ''Manga/ArpeggioOfBlueSteel'' managed to destroy an underwater submarine while under fire by the cruiser Takao, though to be fair I-401 used a WaveMotionGun to achieve it. She comes under torpedo attack from her sister submarines I-400 and I-402 later in the series.
[[folder: Film ]]
* ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober'' is the TropeCodifier.
* ''Film/CrimsonTide''
* ''Film/{{U571}}'' does this, with the Americans in the captured German U-Boat destroying another submerged German U-Boat with torpedoes.
* ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' features what amounts to a dogfight [[InSpace UNDER WATER!]]
** It also features what amounts to the trench run in ''Franchise/StarWars'' Episode 4 [[InSpace UNDER WATER!]].
* ''Film/DownPeriscope'' involves a wargame that tests if a rogue UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo-era diesel submarine, run by a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, is capable of outmaneuvering the US Navy and cause significant damage to major ports. The diesel's main opponent? A ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_class_submarine Los Angeles]]'' class nuclear attack sub. The exercise included two simulated attacks on naval ports where the diesel sub is assumed to do significant damage. The first attack has a scene where the old boat surfaces and launches flares (stand-ins for actual weapons) in sight of two admirals eating dinner. The second one was where Admiral Winslow (Rip Torn) authorised the use of live torpedoes by Lt Commander Tom Dodge (KelseyGrammer), in place of the flares.
* ''Film/TheAbyss'' deserves a mention here. The minisubs involved aren't fighting with weapons- they're fighting ''over'' a weapon.
* Another particularly brutal minisub duel occurs in the Film/JamesBond film ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly''. The bad guy's sub was actually piloted by the man who designed it, Graham Hawkes, who, amusingly, tried so hard to make the fight scene realistic (having been ordered to by the director, despite his earlier protests it was unsafe) that he almost killed RogerMoore's stunt double.
* ''Run Silent Run Deep'' depends on, and arguably laid the groundwork for this trope [[spoiler:since it turns out the Japanese vessel taking out American subs in the Bungo Straits is not a surface vessel, but another submarine]].
** It is torpedoed when it is lured to the surface rather then under the surface. The original writer was a submariner himself and knew perfectly well that it was pretty much impossible for one submerged submarine to torpedo another in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* ''InEnemyHands'' features several undersea battles with American and German submarines in the closing days of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
[[folder: Literature ]]
* Several of the ''Literature/JackRyan'' books give a significant focus to submarine operations, in particular ''Literature/TheHuntForRedOctober'' and ''The Sum of All Fears''.
* One of the primary plots of ''Literature/RedStormRising'' is the second Battle of the Atlantic during a non-nuclear WorldWarIII, with a significant focus on the efforts of the USS ''Chicago'' (SSN-721) and other NATO submarines against the Soviet surface and submarine fleets.
* There's a sub v. sub fight in, of all places, ZombieApocalypse novel ''Literature/WorldWarZ''. And no, neither sub was piloted by Zombies. If they were, this entry would be on the CrowningMomentOfAwesome page. The subs involved were both nuclear submarines crewed by loyalist and renegade members of the Chinese Navy as China was being torn apart by both the zombie epidemic and a civil war. [[spoiler:The renegade sub won, and then proceeded to nuke the Politburo to end the civil war]].
* ''Literature/TheDragonInTheSea'' (AKA ''Under Pressure'') by Creator/FrankHerbert depicts tense underwater combat TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture between nuclear submarines. Despite being published in 1956 it has survived the ravages of ScienceMarchesOn and {{Zeerust}} remarkable well.
* Creator/FyodorBerezon's novel ''Incoming Cataclysm'' features an all-out battle between two modern carrier battle groups. A rip in space/time results in an entire carrier battle group crossing over from a parallel world. The ships belong to an alternate Soviet Union, which dominates much of the alternate world thanks to Operation Barbarossa being delayed by a month. Our world's US Navy decides to engage the "invaders" (who have no idea they crossed over and think they're fighting ''their'' Americans). The battle results in the loss of two supercarriers (one American and one Soviet). Since the rip was (in part) powered by the presence of active nuclear reactors, the remaining Soviet ships disappeared. However, a super-advanced Soviet nuclear submarine remained and proceeded out of the area. One of this trope's actions results when a Russian submarine decides to investigate the area and gets sunk by an American sub, which was looking for the Soviet one. When an American sub later detects the Soviet one (whose sonar is weaker), it launches torpedoes at it. The Soviets dive to a depth that is crushing for our world's submersibles but not to its enhanced hull, resulting in the torpedoes being crushed. It retaliates by launching nuclear-tipped torpedoes at the foe. The American sub manages to evade them, but the resulting pressure wave damages the boat, causing it to sink past crush depth. Both engagements are very quick.
[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* ''SeaQuestDSV'', in its third season had [[RuleOfCool actual]] [[SpaceFighter ''sub fighters'']] - the Specter-class for [[TheFederation the UEO forces]], and a host of other types for various bad guys forces.
** The Chao Dai (Vietnamese) actually have the best sub-fighter pilots, since they have brain implants that jack into the sub-fighters and control the craft by thought. During the one episode they're shown, they manage to destroy one of the ''[=SeaQuest=]'' sub-fighters, piloted by a semi-regular character. She is promptly replaced by a rogue Chao Dai female pilot. Yes, they kill off one TwoferTokenMinority (a black woman) to immediately replace her with another. This was the last episode before the series was cancelled, though.
** There was also an episode where the ''[=seaQuest=]'' ended up in the past during the CubanMissileCrisis. They found out that an American submarine was positioned in the wrong place and would attack a Soviet ship because they would assume it would cross the NavalBlockade. They fire torpedoes at the ''[=seaQuest=]'', who use futuristic interceptor torpedoes to destroy them. Confused, the Americans deploy a distress beacon, which would also trigger a war. Luckily, [[HeroicDolphin Darwin]] manages to disable the beacon.
** In fact, it even happens in the ''pilot'' episode, when Bridger commands ''[=SeaQuest=]'' in an underwater duel with a submarine captained by his rogue former protege.
* Seen on ''Series/LastResort'' as the US Navy think the ''USS Colorado'' has gone rogue and is expending every effort to recapture or sink her, and the best way to do that is with attack subs.
* In the ''Series/{{Thunderbirds}}'' episode "Desperate Intruder", Thunderbird 4 engages The Hood's submarine in combat and sinks it.
[[folder: Video Games ]]
* ''VideoGame/AnnoDomini'' includes lots and lots of naval battles. But Anno 2070 specifically also includes submarines, courtesy of the Tech faction. Very few submarines are useful for attacking other subs while underwater, and most of your sub kills will probably come from surface ships, but is IS possible to encounter this trope in-game.
* ''VideoGame/InTheHunt'' is practically ''made'' of this about half the time. You play a sub, and you shoot down enemy subs... and planes, robots, a dragon-snail, and a LivingStatue.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has a [[UnexpectedGameplayChange minigame]] where you pilot a submarine to seek and destroy another submarine.
* ''RedFaction'' had a submarine-on-submarine section with ridiculously clear water.
** So did ''Red Faction II''. (To be fair, it also had an underwater base you needed to infiltrate.)
* The classic sub simulator ''688AttackSub'' features several Cold War-era missions that involve sub-on-sub combat.
* ''VideoGame/SubmarineTitans'', a real-time strategy game taking place underwater with subs. Combat occurs at close range, but stray torpedoes can hit targets at a distance.
* Creator/SidMeier also did a game version of ''Literature/RedStormRising'', which, like the novel mentioned above, has plenty of this.
** Completely [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the sequel, though. Japanese subs didn't even have any sprites.
** Also [[AvertedTrope averted]] in the NES version - there were no other subs. The %@&! kaiboken, on the other hand...
* DangerousWaters.
* Subs are reasonably effective against other subs in ''RiseOfNations'', though [[TacticalRockPaperScissors ultimately less effective than cruisers at the job]].
* The ''Videogame/{{Aquanox}}'' series is basically a space combat sim underwater, involves a lot of dogfights, mostly using futuristic weapons, complemented with occasional torpedo launches. Unlike actual submarines, most subs featured in the series were all single-pilot with a cockpit. In a bit of realism, there was a way to instantly kill another sub by shooting out the thin cockpit glass with a sniper-like weapon, causing the other sub to implode. Strangely though, hitting the same glass with a much more powerful weapon would not necessarily have the same effect.
* PS1 game ''VideoGame/CriticalDepth'' was basically Twisted Metal UNDERWATER. Subs ranged from a wooden pirate sub with cannons to a converted private jet. It was not very realistic.
* ''{{X-Com}}: Terror From The Deep'' had this when intercepting alien craft. Then again, all of the alien races from this installment of the X-Com series were amphibious, traveled around in weird-looking submarines, and came from a colony ship that crashed some 65 million years ago.
** Also, for the sake of completeness, the submarines in the game are ''flying'' submarines. That's right: sufficient velocity to break the surface of the water means you can activate turbo jets and fly! Weapons only work underwater though (which generally makes sense: torpedoes don't have the right engines, the powerful sonic cannon apparently has vastly decreased range when you're traveling faster than the speed of sound, and the omni-powerful Pulse Wave Torpedo actually requires water to work properly).
* ''VideoGame/SupremeCommander'' features submarines as an entry level navel unit, but due to the lack of decent anti-submarine weapons, they tend to be used in massed fleets late game. The only real counter to these fleets are more submarines as destroyers(the anti-submarine boat) are simply to expensive to produce in large numbers and torpedo bombers (the anti-submarine aircraft) are vulnerable to anti-aircraft surface fire.
** The ''Forged Alliance'' expansion pack adds submarine hunters for each of the factions as a counter to this. The submarine hunters tend to be effective against against submerged targets but are vulnerable to to surface warships.
* ''[[NavalOps Warship Gunner 2]]'' allows you to engage enemy subs underwater if you're controlling a submarine. Note that you are completely PointDefenseless while submerged and submarines usually attack with torpedoes.
* Pretty much averted in ''Videogame/WarcraftII''. Submarines and sea turtles must surface to fire and can only be fired upon if a flying unit (griffon, dragon, helicopter, or zeppelin), tower or another sub or sea turtle can see them.
* In ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2: Yuri's Revenge'', the Soviets and Yuri's forces have submarines, except a fight between them involves floating in place while shooting one torpedo after another until either is destroyed. The Allies only have surface ships and trained [[HeroicDolphin dolphins]].
** ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 Red Alert 3]]'' gives Akula submarines to the Soviets and smaller Yari mini-subs which can perform kamikaze attacks to the Empire. The Imperial Sea-Wing is also underwater, but doesn't count because it is anti-air only in that state. The Allies are again left with dolphins.
* The old Origin game Subwars 2050 was an action/simulator of submarine combat where submarines are purposely built with aerodynamic, jetfighter-like hulls for better maneuverability. Oddly in-game this doesn't play out so much as the game isn't so much a big dogfight as it's about deciding when to switch from passive to active sonar and launching guided torpedoes at the enemy from a range that's too close for them to evade from.
* ''VideoGame/SteelDiver'' is a submarine action/simulation hybrid that bends a few rules of reality, and has some submarines as enemies.
* In ''AdvanceWars'', sub-sub fights are quite common because submerged subs can only be attacked by cruisers and other subs. Given that cruisers are not constantly invisible and very vulnerable to battleships and bombers, they tend to be prime targets of opportunity and generally die quicker than subs. A sub attacking another sub will do between 55-65% damage; most sub battles end up with 8 HP on the attacker and 4 on the defender.
** Taken [[UpToEleven Up to Eleven]] with the fan [[SpriteComic Sprite Comic]] Bob Squad. At one point, a sub tries to attack a lander carrying the main characters. On their turn, the lander-[[CaptainObvious which can neither dive or attack]]-proceeds to do BOTH. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity Ensues]].
* Because subs in most versions of ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} are invisible except to each other and certain air units, they tend to be most useful for keeping one another at bay.
[[folder: Web Comics ]]
* ''{{Archipelago}}'' has a few submarine battles, although most are implied, with only one actually seen in the story so far. It was, however, epic, and involved grappling onto and then ''boarding'' the other sub. Without surfacing.
** Justified, as this section of the [[ConstructedWorld world]] consists entirely of scattered islands, and submarine is the routine method of travel. Warfare between submarines would be more common.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* 'Simpsons Tide', an episode of ''TheSimpsons'' where Homer joins the Naval Reserve and is assigned to a nuclear submarine during a war games exercise. Predictably enough, [[HilarityEnsues he ends up in command after shooting the captain out of a torpedo tube (hitting an enemy sub) and nearly starts World War III.]]
** It was his first day!

COLUMBIA — With the book "Corduroy" lining the bookshelves two by two, Tag-a-long the Clown sat in an oversized brown chair at MU's University Bookstore, ready to help break a world record.
The record didn't involve growing the longest fingernails or eating the most hamburgers. Instead, Tag-a-long the Clown was hoping to get adults to read the same book to the most children on a single day.
The record was part of a one-day national event called Read for the Record, created by Jumpstart, a nonprofit organization that helps children learn vital skills. Organizers of the program, which partners with universities across the country, hope the annual event will raise awareness about the early education gap that exists between income levels, according to the Jumpstart Web site.
Read for the Record set a goal of getting 400,000 involved this year in order to beat the 2007 record, which was close to 300,000. In 2006, the record was 144,000.
Martina Hoyt, Jumpstart's associate site manager, said Jumpstart won't know if a new world record was set until it hears from the national organization, which should take about a week.
The event took place Thursday, when children from the Stephens College Children's School and the MU Child Development Lab came to the bookstore to take part. Hoyt, also known as Tag-a-long the Clown, estimated that approximately 300 Columbia children from 12 schools participated, including the kids from the Stephens and MU labs.
Jumpstart, which is entering its sixth year in affiliation with MU, invited several "local heroes" to read to the children. This year marked the third year for its Read for the Record event. In the past, "The Story of Ferdinand" and "The Little Engine That Could" were read.
Boone County Firefighter Martina Pounds has participated in the event for the past two years.
"It's good for them to see different professions," Pounds said. "The children see it's important to read when you get older."
Chris Woodson, a biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, also returned for a second year. He said Read for the Record provides an opportunity for children to interact with people in the civil services.
"There's not as much interaction as there used to be, and like Martina said, you shouldn't be afraid of firefighters (and others in the civil service)," Woodson said. "It's a good chance to reach out and give back to the kids."
In addition to "Corduroy," adults also read "Where the Wild Things Are." Children later participated in a craft in which they had to sew a button on a bookmark, similar to what happened to Corduroy in the book, when he had a missing button sewn back on by a girl.

Resetting your ZEN Updater and Novell Customer Center key registration
This document (3303599) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2)
Novell ZENworks Linux Management Linux Management 7 - ZLM7
If the evaluation key was used first to register SLES, SLED or OES2, the new registration key that is acquired on purchase needs to be changed by following the below steps. The old key needs to be cleared to enable the new key to be used.
The same steps have to be followed if an improper code was supplied during the registration.
The process for SLES10/SLED10/OES2 is as follows:
- Open YaST2 -> "Software" -> "Installation Source" and remove all nu.novell.com update sources.
- Remove the nu.novell.com update sources in Zenworks using "rug service-delete https://nu.novell.com"
- Stop the Zenworks management daemon using "/etc/init.d/novell-zmd stop".
- Remove the zmd cache using "rm -R /var/cache/zmd/*".
- Remove the zmd database using "rm /var/lib/zmd/zmd.db".
- Remove the device ID using "rm /etc/zmd/deviceid".
- Remove the Zen secret using "rm /etc/zmd/secret".
- Remove subscriptions file (if there is one) "rm /var/lib/zmd/subscriptions". Attention: this step is normally not needed. It is a last resort and will remove any installation source as well as custom repositories. This step is to ensure that there is no other factor that may be affecting suse_register/zmd from registering the machine correctly. In case you remove the subscriptions file, you have to readd the installation source later, e.g. by using YaST2 -> Installation source.
- Restart the Zenworks management daemon using "/etc/init.d/novell-zmd start".
- Delete the suseRegister cache file using "rm /var/cache/SuseRegister/lastzmdconfig.cache".
The process for SLE11 is as follows:
- Find out the alias of the update service by using "zypper ls".
- Remove the update service, for example by using "zypper removeservice nu_novell_com".
- Remove the NCC credentials using "rm /etc/zypp/credentials.d/NCCcredentials".
- Delete the suseRegister cache file using "rm /var/cache/SuseRegister/lastzmdconfig.cache".
- With this complete, restart YaST, and then launch Novell Customer Center Configuration. This will register any new keys that were needed. Attention: if you use the suse_register commandline tool instead of YaST (for example by using: suse_register -a regcode-sles=YourActivationCode -a email=YourEmailAddress -a moniker=YourHostname -L /root/.suse_register.log) you may have to refresh the services by running "zypper refresh-services -r" afterwards.
- Check if the update repositories have been added correctly by using "zypper lr".
As of SLE 11 SP3 the -E (--erase-local-regdata) has been introduced to suse_register
suse_register -E
to clean up the entire local registration stack completely.

Senior Victoria Glock-Molloy, 17, of Manasquan has done what most students can only dream about -- achieving a perfect score on two sections of the SATs.
As a student at St. Rose High School, she prepared for the SATs by taking the Princeton Review course and St. Rose teacher Kevin Polke's SAT prep course. Her hard work paid off when she scored a perfect 800 on both the critical reading and writing sections of the SATs.
But this is only one of Victoria's many accomplishments.
The graduate of St. Denis Grammar School in Manasquan now is a St. Rose High School ambassador, the newspaper editor, yearbook photo editor, president of the Deaf Awareness Club, vice president of the Irish Heritage Club, and a member of the mock trial and forensic teams, the chorus and drama club. She was the stage manager for the spring musical and plays piano in her spare time. Also, she is a member of the varsity swimming team.
Since her freshman year, Victoria has been involved in Key Club. She became its treasurer during her junior year and this year serves as its president. She says she gained inspiration from previous Key Club executive board members and has worked hard to keep the club strong and thriving.
"Victoria is a hard worker and I wish her the best of luck in the future," says Sal Biase, 16, of Brick and lieutenant governor of District 8 in the state's Key Club organization.
Ashley Garcia, 17 of Manasquan is a senior of St. Rose High School.

Men Find Vegetables Unmanly
My mom likes to tell a story about how, after coming over for dinner to our vegetarian household, a woman from the neighborhood earnestly asked her how she had managed to persuade my dad to eat vegetables. Apparently this woman had the worst time interesting her husband in salad. Okay. So, just for fun, let's leave aside the troubling question of why exactly this lady's marriage involved this weird infantilization and turn to the much more hilarious matter: Seriously, why didn't this dude like veggies?
According to a new study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, it's probably because men don't consider them manly. For reals:
In a number of experiments that looked at metaphors and certain foods, like meat and milk, the authors found that people rated meat as more masculine than vegetables. They also found that meat generated more masculine words when people discussed it, and that people viewed male meat eaters as being more masculine than non-meat eaters.
Another rad finding was that in most languages that have genders, meat is masculine.
As a solution, the study's authors suggest that "reshaping soy burgers to make them resemble beef or giving them grill marks might help cautious men make the transition." See, ladies with veggie-hating husbands? It's that easy.

Google Slide show through Chromecast to TV
We are trying to figure out a way to wirelessly present a Google Slides show to a TV in our church lobby - and have it continually cycle. My thought is to make a Google Slides show, save it on Google Drive, use Chromecast to access the file from the TV and display it that way. Is that possible? Any better ideas?
Re: Google Slide show through Chromecast to TV
Your only option maybe to upload the slide show to YouTube and the stream to the Chromecast from there

Police officer shoots, kills man who threatened his family
MILWAUKEE - An investigation was underway Thursday morning after a deadly shooting involving a Milwaukee Police officer where the suspect reportedly was ready to kill himself and his family.
Milwaukee Police were called to a home near North 72nd Street and West Mill Road Wednesday night for a report of a man making those threats.
When officers got there, they found James Coleman, armed with a large kitchen knife. Police say that he had taken several pills.
Officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the knife, but he refused and went toward the officers with the weapon. An officer shot him.
"He fired three or four shots, and all of them hit him except maybe one," said the victim's uncle, Alonzo Macklin, to TODAY'S TMJ4's Melissa McCrady.
Coleman already had cut his own wrists.
The man, who was 45, was treated for his injuries, but did not survive.
His family says he suffered from a mental illness.
The officer involved is 29 years old with three years experience on the force.
He's on desk duty while the investigation begins.
MPD said the officer is properly trained, but Macklin doesn't buy it.
"Why couldn't they just (use a stun gun on) him, disarm him, take him to the mental health complex or somewhere where he can get help?" asked Macklin.
"Why would we want the police to come shoot him three or four times?"

Dan Jenkins calls him "the greatest quarterback who ever lived, college or pro." Slingin' Sammy Baugh, who played for TCU and the Washington Redskins, single-handedly revolutionized the game of football. While the pros still wore leather helmets and played the game more like rugby, Baugh's ability to throw the ball with rifle-like accuracy made the forward pass a strategic weapon, not a desperation heave. Like Babe Ruth, who changed the very perception of how baseball is played, Slingin' Sam transformed the notion of offense in football and how much yardage can be gained through the air. As the first modern quarterback, Baugh led the Redskins to five title games and two NFL championships, while leading the league in passing six times --- a record that endures to this day --- and in punting four times. In 1943, the triple-threat Baugh also scored a triple crown when he led the league in passing, punting and interceptions.
SLINGIN' SAM is the first major biography of this legendary quarterback, one of the first inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Joe Holley traces the whole arc of Baugh's life (1914-2008), from his small-town Texas roots to his college ball success as an All-American at TCU, his brief flirtation with professional baseball, and his stellar career with the Washington Redskins (1937-1952), as well as his later career coaching the New York Titans and Houston Oilers and ranching in West Texas. Through Holley's vivid descriptions of close-fought games, Baugh comes alive both as the consummate all-around athlete who could play every minute of every game, on both offense and defense, and as an all-around good guy.

Suggestions the government could do so at a profit are even more far-fetched.

Norepinephrine transporter
The norepinephrine transporter (NET), also known as solute carrier family 6 member 2 (SLC6A2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A2 gene.[1]
NET is a monoamine transporter and is responsible for the sodium-chloride (Na+/Cl−)-dependent reuptake of extracellular norepinephrine (NE), which is also known as noradrenaline. NET can also reuptake extracellular dopamine (DA). The reuptake of these two neurotransmitters is essential in regulating concentrations in the synaptic cleft. NETs, along with the other monoamine transporters, are the targets of many antidepressants and recreational drugs. In addition, a deficiency of NET is associated with orthostatic intolerance and an over abundance of NET is associated with ADHD.[2][3] There is evidence that single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the NET gene (SLC6A2) may be an underlying factor in some of these disorders.[3]
The norepinephrine transporter gene, SLC6A2 is located on human chromosome 16 locus 16q12.2. This gene is encoded by 14 exons.[3] Based on the nucleotide and amino acid sequence, the NET transporter consists of 617 amino acids with 12 membrane-spanning domains. The structural organization of NET is highly homologous to other members of a sodium/chloride-dependent family of neurotransmitter transporters, including dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin and GABA transporters.[3]
Single nucleotide polymorphisms[edit]
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a genetic variation in which a genome sequence is altered by a single nucleotide (A, T, C or G). NET proteins with an altered amino acid sequence (more specifically, a missense mutation) could potentially be associated with various diseases that involve abnormally high or low plasma levels of norepinephrine due to altered NET function. NET SNPs and possible associations with various diseases are an area of focus for many research projects. There is evidence suggesting a relationship between NET SNPs and various disorders such as ADHD[3][4] psychiatric disorders,[3] postural tachycardia[3][5] and orthostatic intolerance.[3][5] The SNPs rs3785143 and rs11568324 have been related to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.[6] Thus far, however, the only confirmed direct association between a SNP and a clinical condition is that of the SNP, Ala457Pro, and orthostatic intolerance.[3] Thirteen NET missense mutations have been discovered so far.[3]
Location | Amino Acid Variant | TMD (if known) | Related Disease |
Exon 2 | Val69Ile | TMD 1 | None |
Exon 3 | Thr99Ile | TMD 2 | None |
Exon 5 | Val245Ile | TMD 4 | None |
Exon 6 | Asn292Thr | n/a | None |
Exon 8 | Val356Leu | n/a | None |
Exon 8 | Ala369Pro | n/a | None |
Exon 8 | Asn375Ser | n/a | None |
Exon 10 | Val449Ile | TMD 9 | None |
Exon 10 | Ala457Pro | TMD 9 | Orthostatic intolerance |
Exon 10 | Lys463Arg | n/a | None |
Exon 11 | Gly478Ser | TMD 10 | None |
Exon 12 | Phe528Cys | n/a | None |
Exon 13 | Tyr548His | n/a | None |
For the table above, refer to this table of standard amino acid abbreviations. This notation for
missense mutations, take Val69Ile for example, indicates that amino acid Val69 was changed to Ile.
Genetic variations[edit]
An epigenetic mechanism (hypermethylation of CpG islands in the NET gene promoter region) that results in reduced expression of the noradrenaline (norepinephrine) transporter and consequently a phenotype of impaired neuronal reuptake of norepinephrine has been implicated in both postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and panic disorder.[8]
The norepinephrine transporter is composed of 12 transmembrane domains (TMDs). The intracellular portion contains an amino (-NH
2) group and carboxyl (-COOH) group. In addition, there is a large extracellular loop located between TMD 3 and 4.[9][10][11] The protein is composed of 617 amino acids.[9]
NET functions to transport synaptically released norepinephrine back into the presynaptic neuron. As much as 90% of the norepinephrine released will be taken back up in the cell by NET. NET functions by coupling the influx of sodium and chloride (Na+/Cl−) with the transport of norepinephrine. This occurs at a fixed ratio of 1:1:1.[12] Both the NET and the dopamine transporter (DAT) can transport norepinephrine and dopamine. The reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine is essential in regulating the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. The transporter also helps maintain homeostatic balances of the presynaptic neuron.[13]
Norepinephrine (NE) is released from noradrenergic neurons that innervate both the CNS and PNS. NE, also known as noradrenaline (NA), has an important role in controlling mood, arousal, memory, learning, and pain perception. NE is a part of the sympathetic nervous system.[10][14] Dysregulation of the removal of norepinephrine by NET is associated with many neuropsychiatric diseases, discussed below . In addition, many antidepressants and recreational drugs compete for the binding of NET with NE.[9]
Transport mechanisms[edit]
The transport of norepinephrine back into presynaptic cell is made possible by the cotransport with Na+ and Cl−. The sequential binding of the ions results in the eventual reuptake of norepinephrine. The ion gradients of Na+ and Cl− make this reuptake energetically favorable. The gradient is generated by the Na+/K+-ATPase which transports three sodium ions out and two potassium ions into the cell.[13] NETs have conductances similar to those of ligand-gated ion channels. The expression of NET results in a leak-channel activity.[12][13]
Location in the nervous system[edit]
NETs are restricted to noradrenergic neurons and are not present on neurons that release dopamine or epinephrine.[10][11][13] The transporters can be found along the cell body, axons, and dendrites of the neuron.[10] NETs are located away from the synapse, where norepinephrine is released. They are found closer to the plasma membrane of the cell. This requires norepinephrine to diffuse from the site it is released to the transporter for reuptake.[13] Norepinephrine transporters are confined to the neurons of the sympathetic system, and those innervating the adrenal medulla, lung, and placenta.[13]
Regulation of NET function is complex and a focus of current research. NETs are regulated at both the cellular and molecular level post-translation. The most understood mechanisms include phosphorylation by the second messenger protein kinase C (PKC).[11] PKC has been shown to inhibit NET function by sequestration of the transporter from the plasma membrane.[15] The amino acid sequence of NET has shown multiple sites related to protein kinase phosphorylation.[13] Post-translational modifications can have a wide range of effects on the function of the NET, including the rate of fusion of NET-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane, and transporter turnover.[15]
Clinical significance[edit]
Orthostatic intolerance[edit]
Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system (a subcategory of dysautonomia) characterized by the onset of symptoms upon standing. Symptoms include fatigue, lightheadedness, headache, weakness, increased heart rate/heart palpitations, anxiety, and altered vision.[3] Often, patients have high plasma norepinephrine (NE) concentrations (at least 600 pg/ml) in relation to sympathetic outflow upon standing, suggesting OI is a hyperadrenergic condition.[3][5] The discovery of identical twin sisters both suffering from OI suggested a genetic basis for the disorder.[3][5] A missense mutation on the NET gene (SLC62A) was discovered in which an alanine residue was replaced with a proline residue (Ala457Pro) in a highly conserved region of the transporter.[3] The patients' defective NET had only 2% of the activity of the wild-type version of the gene.[3] The genetic defect in the NET protein results in decreased NET activity that could account for abnormally high NE plasma levels in OI. However, 40 other OI patients did not have the same missense mutation, indicating other factors contributed to the phenotype in the identical twins.[3] This discovery of the linkage with NET mutations that results in decreased norepinephrine reuptake activity and orthostatic intolerance suggests faulty NE uptake mechanisms can contribute to cardiovascular disease.[16]
Therapeutic uses[edit]
"The involvement of the norepinephrine transporter (NET) in the pathophysiology and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance abuse, neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD)) and clinical depression has long been recognized. [2006]"[17]
Major depressive disorder[edit]
Certain antidepressant medications act to raise noradrenaline, such as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (NRIs or NERIs) and the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). The mechanism by which these medications work is that the reuptake inhibitors prevent the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine by the presynaptic neuron, paralyzing the normal function of the NET. At the same time, higher levels of 5-HT are maintained in the synapse increasing the concentrations of the latter neurotransmitters. Since the noradrenaline transporter is responsible for most of the dopamine clearance in the prefrontal cortex,[18] SNRIs block reuptake of dopamine too, accumulating the dopamine in the synapse. However, DAT, the primary way dopamine is transported out of the cell, can work to decrease dopamine concentration in the synapse when the NET is blocked.[19] For many years, the number one choice in treating mood disorders like depression was through the uptake of TCAs, such as desipramine (Norpramin), nortriptyline (Arentyl, Pamelor), protriptyline (Vivactil) and amoxapine (Asendin).[14] However, currently far more potent drugs have been developed in the United States, most notably the discovery of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs affect the communication between chemical messengers in the brain by regulating how much of a certain chemical messenger enters the brain.[14] SSRIs regulate serotonin levels in the brain, which seems to aid the brain in exchanging messages more efficiently and in turn livens mood.[20] Drugs such as fluoxetine and paroxetine are both very impelling in treating mood disorders because they reduce many of the side effects one receives compared to using TCAs to treat such mood disorders.[20]
Many drugs exist in the treatment of ADHD. Dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, Dextrostat), Adderall, methylphenidate (Ritalin, Metadate, Concerta, Daytrana), and lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) block reabsorption of the catecholamines dopamine and norepinephrine through monoamine transporters (including NET), thereby increasing levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. The strong selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), atomoxetine (Strattera), has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat ADHD in adults.[21][22] The role of the NET in ADHD is similar to how it works to ease the symptoms of depression. The NET is blockaded by atomoxetine and increases NE levels in the brain. It can work to increase one's ability to focus, decrease any impulsiveness, and lessen hyperactivity in both children and adults who suffer from ADHD.[23]
Cocaine is a powerful psychostimulant and known to be one of the most widely abused substances.[24] Cocaine is a nonselective, reuptake inhibitor of the norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine transporters. This thwarts the absorption of these chemicals into the presynaptic terminal[24] and allows a large concentration of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine to build up in the synaptic cleft. The potential for cocaine addiction is thought to be a result of its effects on dopamine transporters in the CNS, while it has been suggested that the life-threatening cardiovascular effects of cocaine may involve the inhibition of NETs at sympathetic and CNS autonomic synapses.[25]
Amphetamines have a similar effect on norepinephrine levels compared to that of cocaine in that they both increase NE levels in the brain.[26] Amphetamine-like drugs are substrates for monoamine transporters, include NET, that cause a reversal in the direction of neurotransmitter transport.[13][27] Amphetamines cause a large accumulation of extracellular NE.[26] High levels of NE in the brain account for most of the profound effects of amphetamines, including alertness, anorectic, locomotor and sympathomimetic effects.[26] However, the effects that amphetamines have on the brain are slower but last longer than the effects cocaine has on the brain.[26] MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine or "ecstasy") is an amphetamine with wide recreational use. A study reported that the NET inhibitor reboxetine reduced the stimulant effects of MDMA in humans, demonstrating the crucial role NET has in the cardiovascular and stimulant-like effects of MDMA.[28]
Further research[edit]
The role of the NET in many brain disorders underlies the importance of understanding the (dys)regulation of the transporter. A complete model of the proteins that associate with the transporter will be useful in designing drug therapies for diseases such as schizophrenia, affective disorder, and autonomic disorders. Recently discovered mechanisms of the NET, including the ability to act reversibly and as an ion channel, provide other areas of research.[11][13]
The role of NE in schizophrenia has not been fully understood, but has stimulated research into this topic.[29][30][31][32] The only relationship that has been understood between researchers is that there is a positive correlation between increased NE levels in the brain and spinal fluid (CSF) and activity of schizophrenia.[29][30][31][32] In one study, clonidine, a drug used to treat medical conditions such as ADHD and high blood pressure, was shown to produce a significant decrease in plasma level MHPG (3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol), a metabolite of NE, in the normal control group, but not in the group of schizophrenic patients.[31] This suggests that in schizophrenia, the alpha-2 adrenergic receptor, a presynaptic inhibitory receptor, may be less sensitive compared to normally functioning alpha-2 receptors and thus relate to elevated NE levels in the disorder.[31] In addition to increased NE levels in the brain and CSF, increased levels of MHPG has also been associated with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.[32] Impaired NE regulation in schizophrenia has been an area of interest for researchers and research on this topic is still ongoing.[31][32]
