LEBANON, Pa. — Lebanon Transit replaced three 15-year-old Blue Bird buses with three Gillig hybrid buses, Lebanon Daily News reported. The red hybrid "envirotravel" buses cost a total of $1.75 million, with about $1 million coming from the Federal Transit Administration and approximately $725,000 coming from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, a transit official told Lebanon Daily News. For the full story, click here.
The Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project was created by the California Air Resources Board to speed the early market introduction of clean, low-carbon hybrid and electric vehicles and is administered and implemented through a partnership with CALSTART.
The company was recognized for exceeding delivery expectations for the fourth year in a row.
The startup was recently granted what's known as the "authority to operate" — a precursor to an official license. But by driving its route between the Marina district and the Financial District without a license, regulators determined that Leap was breaking the law, according to SFGate.
Tens of thousands have been ditching the bus in Brooklyn and Manhattan, while there were modest gains on Bronx and Staten Island routes; Queens had a small decline in ridership, according to the MTA figures. The decline is attributed to traffic congestion and fare hikes.
In addition to being more energy efficient, the new buses will have better air conditioning and USB ports for riders to charge their phones.

text: Unlike some other ballers who come out of college early, the kid is just not NBA-ready yet. Right now his only safe offensive move in his game is to drive to the basket and dish. If there is no one to pass to, then he has to finish around the rim. He will eventually get stronger and grow into his body. He is not reading the defenses quick enough where he can be proactive. Once he learns to make his move to the basket quicker while keeping his head up, he will be able to finish. Early on in the game he needs to create and take open shots instead of hesitating. I believe a year from now will make a difference in his game.

This throw will enliven the room with color, while the lightweight wool design blended with a touch of cashmere gives it a warm yet luxuriously refined feel. The throw is finished with extra long fringe for an artisan touch.
The Alashan region of Mongolia is home to goats that, through a combination of climatic, geographic, and dietary conditions, produce the world's finest cashmere. As such, Alashan is an ideal name for a company that seeks to create woven throws of unrivaled softness in a sumptuous array of hues.

If we can't plead stupidity, what else is there? How do we live with ourselves? Is it all the stuff we buy that manages to numb our brains and consciences?
When I see a headline like this one at Bloomberg today, World Needs Record Saudi Oil Supply as OPEC Convenes, there's just one thought that pops into my head: what the world needs is for us to stop doing this thing we're doing. Even apart from peak oil concerns, it's obvious we're going to run out at some point or another, and it doesn't matter whether that's tomorrow or at some other point in the future, though we do know it's not going to take another 100 years, or even 50.
And nothing will ever take the place of oil; once those unique carbons are gone, that's it, we'll have to find a completely different way of running our societies, and if we're not smart enough to prepare for that beforehand, we'll be cats fighting in a sack and use the last scraps to kill off each other. And our legacy won't be the Greek thinkers and Picasso and Dostoyevsky and Walt Whitman and Maria Callas, since there won't be the means for our children anymore to share what makes man great between them. Our main legacy will instead be bloodshed, we will have gone the exact same path that any non-thinking or even primitive organism would have taken, who don't have opera or philosophy or poetry to their name.

"It makes fundamental economic sense" for countries to push forward on tackling climate change because of the benefits it will bring in terms of food, water and energy, as well as employment," Christiana Figueres told a carbon market conference in Barcelona. This, together with the speed at which businesses are acting on climate change and efforts to put a price on carbon, mean "a decarbonized world is now irreversible, irrefutable," the head of the U.N. climate change secretariat told the conference.

The perfect "Oh hey, you're laid off" scent
Anyone hook me up with a job in Vancouver?
Daniel Moliere's Tam Dao (Diptyque). I hadn't heard of him until I looked him up just now. He also did Insense and Eau de Givenchy. Also something called "Chupa Chups Night Fever".
l'instant de guerlain pour homme
Diorissimo by Christian Dior (from a sample - thanks lilybelle)
OK, so I finally get what lily of the valley smells like. Like it has been noted, it recalls detergents, soaps...maybe a whiff of dishwashing machine rinse aid. But the Dior is very smooth, elegant...clean. I think I'm testing the 'new' formulation...since I smell absolutely no trace of anything animalic which I believe was what the vintage (Roudnitska created) juice smelled like. Nonetheless, it's lovely.

Ocean Rain by Mario Valentino (first time from a sample - thanks Ruggles)
This is really nice. The strangest aquatic I've ever smelled. It doesn't smell like water, or the sea...rather a plant or soil that is near the water. It has a mineralic almost vitamin supplement accord that is part synthetic, part salt. Head spinning stuff. I love it!

I missed yesterday, so I'm catching up...
Yesterday's SOTD: my first test of Méchant Loup by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
The description on the sample card said something about a whole forest full of woods with a heart of hazelnut. To me, it was straight-up pipe tobacco.
It was really nice, like if you took the vanilla and clove out of Tobacco Vanille. It smelled good and spent most of the day trying to convince myself to fall in love with it, but it just didn't happen. I think I really like my tobacco notes played against a gourmand base.
Just to make sure, I threw on some Hermèssence Ambre Narguilé to compare for my SOTE and the Ambre almost knocked me over with how much I loved it...
To catch up, today's SOTD was my first test of Drôle de Rose by L'Artisan Parfumeur.
It opened with rose and violets, which were quickly joined by a thick, manly haze of dirt and pepper (imagine Terre de Hermes with flowers instead of oranges). Just as I was getting ready to declare this bottle-worthy, all the pepper and haze faded away and were replaced by berries.
The combination of berries and rose with a pinch of violet has been described as the scent of a tube of lipstick.
So, I loved the first hour and was kind of bored by the rest.
Oh well...
From Armani's Prive Line.....Vetiver Babylone and 3 compliments.
Busy day of testing for me!

Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon would make a quality lens for photographers who have a knack for manually focusing their images. The lens excludes an autofocus system, which helps bring down its price by hundreds of dollars.
South Korean optics company Samyang has been stepping out of the shadows cast by its larger Japanese rivals like Nikon and Canon. It has produced a number of lenses in recent years that have been receiving attention for their affordability and improving quality, including the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Canon, which was released in 2011.
Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon is a simplistic lens – not too wide like a 24mm, and not too restricting like the 50mm – that is great for everyday shooting, especially environmental portraits and architectural-oriented photography.
But this lens is not for everyone, especially photographers who don't trust their eyes to take sharp pictures – the lens does not have an embedded autofocus system.
During DxOMark tests and analysis, we determined the lens' strengths were:
The lens' weaknesses include:
Samyang 35mm F1.4 AS UMC Canon Vs Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM mounted on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II:
Benefits of the Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon include:
Perks of the Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM include:
Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon is a quality lens – excelling at producing bright images with strong resolution – that can be purchased at an affordable price. But this affordability comes at the expense of no autofocus, so photographers who rely on AF lenses should consider alternatives.

Samyang is making some fantastic optics. For a landscape photog on a budget, screw the system's lenses. These are the lenses to buy.

JON CARDINELLI says Heyneke Meyer must approach the next Test in Edinburgh as an opportunity to build momentum rather than a chance to experiment with new combinations.
So often a tour fixture against Scotland is viewed as an opportunity to experiment, to blood youngsters and hand fringe players rare starting chances. In reality, it can be a potential banana skin, as the Boks found out on their 2010 tour of the home nations.
The Boks were surprised by a plucky Scotland on that occasion, the hosts thriving in the poor conditions and manhandling the Boks at the collisions and breakdowns. The visitors went into that Murrayfield Test with the wrong attitude, and were duly punished by a more determined Scotland side.
The current crop of Boks shouldn't fall into the same trap. They may have recorded a fine comeback win in Dublin last Saturday, but the inconsistency of that performance will mean that they travel to Edinburgh with a point to prove.
Player burnout is an issue that's been spoken about at length over the past few months, but I agree with Meyer and Bok captain Jean de Villiers when they say that Tests are the priority, and that the workload of each individual should be restricted at the lower levels.
With regards to experimentation and handing fringe players opportunities, Meyer has been forced to do so from the outset. The Boks have travelled to Europe this November with a depleted side. These three Tests will afford certain individuals rare starting chances that they may not have enjoyed if first- and second-choice players were still available.
I am of the belief that the Boks should always include an openside flanker who excels at the ground, and yet Francois Louw needs this tour to prove to Meyer why he should be backed when several Bok loose forwards return from injuries in 2013.
Louw has been one of the standouts since returning to the Test set-up, and two further starts on this tour will be good for the individual and the collective in terms of building confidence, momentum and depth ahead of the 2013 season.
The forward pack showed its strength in the second half against Ireland, and should be handed a further opportunity to settle against Scotland. Scotland are the weakest of the Boks' November opponents, but this should be viewed as a dress rehearsal for the final tour match against England.
Give this combination time to improve their scrum and lineout work. The set pieces improved dramatically in the second half, as did the discipline at the breakdown. The more this combination plays together, the stronger it will become. And with a view to 2013, that will provide Meyer with more depth.
With regards to the backline, Ruan Pienaar and Pat Lambie should be handed an extended opportunity to strengthen their halfback partnership. Supporters of Elton Jantjies may argue that he needs to be given a chance, but there is more to be gained at this stage by retaining Lambie.
The Sharks pivot had no possession to work with in the first half against Ireland, but did well in the second stanza. He should be given a chance to build on that if the Boks are going to take momentum into the England Test. A three-Test assessment will also give Meyer the definitive answer he needs regarding Lambie's aptitude as a Test flyhalf.
Captain De Villiers will retain the No 12 position, but I'm not sure what Meyer is trying to achieve by persisting with Jaco Taute at outside centre.
Meyer has made it clear that he views Taute as a fullback, and it is here where he should start against Scotland. In the absence of players like Frans Steyn and Jaque Fourie, I would move Juan de Jongh into the No 13 position.
There will be opportunities to score tries this Saturday, but I doubt the Boks will go the route of the All Blacks by playing a high-risk game. The Boks simply don't boast the synergy and skills of the All Blacks, not in the backline or forwards, to excel in a high-tempo approach.
As was evident last Sunday, it is a game plan that also made the All Blacks defence more vulnerable (they conceded three tries). If this less experienced and settled Bok side was to attempt to replicate that style, it would backfire badly.
No, the Bok forwards will hold the key to success this Saturday. A win in Edinburgh will be built on forward ascendancy, no nonsense defence and territorial dominance.
If correctly implemented, this game plan should yield several tries as well as the all-important victory. It will put this Bok combination into a strong position right before a testing and tour-defining match at Twickenham.

Responding to Disruptive Behavior
What is Disruptive Behavior?
Any behavior that interferes with students, faculty, or staff and their access to an appropriate and/or safe educational or work environment is considered disruptive.
Examples of Disruptive Behavior
- · Behavior that draws inappropriate attention to oneself
- · Verbal outbursts (e.g., arguing, yelling, screaming)
- · Words or actions that intimidate or harass others
- · Words or actions that cause others to fear for their personal safety
- · Threats of physical assault or violence
How should I deal with a disruptive person?
Disruptive behavior should not be ignored. It is important to remain calm. Remind yourself that the person is upset about the situation—not with you. Tell the person that such behavior is inappropriate and that there are consequences for failing to alter or improve the disruptive behavior. Many disruptive situations involve anger. Recognize that the period of peak anger usually lasts 20-30 seconds. Often it is best to wait out the initial outburst before addressing the individual. If you feel threatened, seek to remove yourself from the situation or secure appropriate assistance.
The DOs
DO listen to the person, through the anger. Use active listening.
DO acknowledge the feelings of the individual.
DO allow the person to vent and to tell you what is upsetting to him/her. Use the silence to allow the person to talk it out.
DO set limits. Explain clearly and directly what behaviors are acceptable (e.g., "I will be willing to speak with you as long as you lower your voice").
DO be firm, steady, direct, and honest, but also compassionate.
DO trust your intuition.
DO focus on what you can do to help resolve the situation.
DO make personal referrals. Provide the name of an individual when possible, and call ahead to brief the person.
DO report the behavior to the appropriate resources on campus.
The DON'Ts
DON'T ignore the disruptive behavior.
DON'T interrupt, particularly during the first 20-30 seconds of peak anger.
DON'T minimize the situation.
DON'T enter into an argument or shouting match.
DON'T blame, ridicule, or use sarcasm.
DON'T touch or become physical.
DON'T ignore your own limitations.
If you feel threatened, concerned for your safety, or concerned for the safety of others, call 911.
In circumstances where students may benefit from psychological services and additional support, and there is not concern for the individual's safety or the safety of others, urge the person to seek professional help, and suggest the following:

Agriculture & Health Research Platform
Subscribe IFPRI on Agriculture and Health
Why is it important to locate health in an agricultural context? And agriculture in a health context? Primarily, because agriculture and health are intrinsically linked, and these linkages have significant implications for the well-being of people around the world, especially poor and vulnerable people.
The CGIAR Agriculture and Health Research Platform (AHRP) aims to improve the health of the poor, reduce malnutrition and food insecurity, and promote pro-poor agricultural development, by encouraging closer collaboration between the agriculture and health sectors. It will focus both on illuminating existing synergies between the two sectors and also on identifying where and how synergies can be improved, thus improving health and poverty outcomes for developing countries. The emphasis is on communicating the need for these synergies, dissemination of important research and publications, and fostering partnerships between the health and agricultural sectors.

Freshmen Lead Men's Lacrosse in 19-3 Rout of #12 St. Leo
February 27, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Freshman attack Elliot Gilbert (Corning, NY) put home five goals while freshman goalkeeper Hayden Kirk (Farmingdale, NY) turned away 19 shots as Pfeiffer University steamrolled #12 St. Leo University 19-3 in non-conference mens lacrosse action on Sunday afternoon. Nine different players found the back of the net at-least once as the Falcons improve to 2-1 overall while sending the Lions to their first loss of the season at 2-1.
Kirk turned away his 19 shots as the Falcons held the Lions to a season-low three goals. Kirk stopped two in the first and three in the second before knocking down six and eight in the second half. Anthony Lamarca (Sayville, NY) caused a team-high four turnovers as St. Leo committed 19 on the afternoon.
Kory Lutes (Orlando, FL) and Steven Tilmon (Orlando, FL) scored just 21 seconds apart five minutes into the first quarter to give the Falcons an early 2-0 lead. The Lions responded with a Truett Valentine (Alexandria, VA) tally at the 7:35 mark before James Shepherd (St. John, New Brunswick) struck with 5:45 remaining as Pfeiffer carried a 3-1 lead after the first.
The Falcons pulled away in the second 15 minutes outscoring St. Leo 6-0. Gilbert tallied three of his five in the second quarter 31 seconds in and at the 11:28 and 1:34 marks. Zack Clark (Corning, NY) assisted on Gilberts second hit while Lutes helped out on the third. Tucker Hammock (Marietta, GA) put home his first of the afternoon with 13:06 to go before the half while Robert Hope (Peterborough, Ontario) and Justin Rose did the same for a 9-1 halftime lead. Tilmon chipped in with an assist on Hopes score at the 10:12 mark while Hammock assisted on Roses man-up goal at 2:31.
Just 27 seconds into the third quarter, Lions senior Evan Mills (Wesley Chapel, FL) would try to give St. Leo a little second half momentum with his goal to make it 9-2, but Pfeiffer again responded reeling off the next four grabbing a 13-2 lead. Clark would register a short-handed goal at the 13:19 mark while Shepherd scored man-up just 48 seconds later. Gilbert and Shepherd would each strike again before St. Leos Rob Van Bomel (Tampa, FL) put home the Lions third and final goal of the afternoon with 6:13 left in the third.
Hammock and Tilmon would add the final pair of goals in the third quarter before the Falcons punched in their final four of the afternoon in the fourth quarter. Hammock registered his third and final goal at the 11:29 point of the fourth while Nick Berkompas (Webster, NY) slammed home his goal 1:09 later. Shepherd and Gilbert each closed things out with goals in the final six minutes as the Falcons cruised to victory.
Shepherd led the Falcons on Saturday with four groundballs and six shots on goal along with Gilbert. Billy Rawson (St. Charles, IL) also had four groundballs in the win as 15 Falcons scooped up at-least one.
Pfeiffer will return home on Friday to take on Lake Erie at 3:00 p.m.

About Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson still packing 'em in on the road (Updated 6/5/14)
The career of laid-back acoustic rocker Jack Johnson is still rolling along like a gentle wave, and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Johnson's latest tour stops, like the one on the beach stage at Hangout Fest in mid-May, only served to reemphasize the feel-good vibe that hangs in the air at one of his shows. Thousands of people packed the sand, many with drinks in hand while singing and swaying along to tunes like "Banana Pancakes," "Flake" and "Wasting Time."
There's no doubt that Johnson, wearing his most formal attire of jeans and a t-shirt at every stop, is content serving up beach anthems as much as guys like Jimmy Buffett (which would explain why Johnson also covered "A Pirate Looks at Forty" at a few of his recent shows). And soon the platinum-selling singer-songwriter will be heading out for a run of dates with the Zeroes, with whom he previously shared a stage (at a show in Mexico).
Johnson's latest road trip is all in the name of promotion for his sixth studio album, "From Here to Now To You," released back on September 17, 2013. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 117,000 copies. He matched the No. 1 feat on the Canadian Albums chart, as well as the US Billboard Digital Albums chart, the Top Rock Albums Chart, Alternative Albums chart and the Folk Albums chart.
If you haven't had a chance to see Johnson yet in 2014, you still have plenty of time. He has dates booked into September, from France to Belgium, Spain to Italy and then over Switzerland, the UK and Japan before returning to North America.
Jack Johnson goes 'From Here To Now To You' (Updated July 26, 2013)
Jack Johnson is gearing up for the release of his sixth studio album, "From Here To Now To You," recorded at Mango Tree Studio in Hawaii. And he's more than just a little excited to show off his first new original songs since 2010's "To the Sea" album.
Johnson has been everywhere lately. The first single from the new album, "I Got You," hit airwaves the second week of June. To coincide with that release, he performed as a headliner at the 2013 Bonnaroo in Tennessee. That was followed by two acoustic shows to premiere other brand new songs in London on June 19th and New York City on June 24th. The London date took place at the famed Tabernacle in Notting Hill, while the New York appearance came at Lincoln Center overlooking Central Park.
Jack and his band members Adam, Merlo and Zach will hit the road this Fall in support of the new album. It will kick off with a Theater tour in Europe on September 5th, then return stateside for a headline performance at the Life is Good Festival on September 22 in Canton, Massachusetts. From there, Jack and the gang will play a series of intimate theaters in North America including Nashville's famed Ryman Auditorium, Seattle's Paramount Theatre and the Orepheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
We'd say get your tickets now for a front row seat to Johnson's laid-back vibe and hand-picked guitars, but the previously announced North American dates are all sold out. Tickets for other shows are available via lottery on Jack's website.
About Jack Johnson
Hawaiian native Jack Johnson was riding waves not long after he learned to walk, and was a champion surfer by the age of 17. But when an accident at the Pipeline Master on Oahu's north shore ended his pro aspirations, he turned his passion to guitars and songwriting and never looked back.
Leaving the waves for dry land, Johnson studied cinematography in college at the University of California in Santa Barbara. He produced a surfing documentary which also showcased his flair for songwriting, and not long after one of his songs was covered by G. Love & Special Sauce on the band's 1999 album, "Philadelphonic." With that exposure, and demo material that landed in the hands of French producer J.P. Plunier, Johnson was well on his way to even greater recognition.
Johnson recorded and released his debut album, "Brushfire Fairytales," in 2001. It immediately found an audience outside of Hawaii's surfing communities, and ultimately went platinum as a result. His next four major-label albums would follow suit, and Johnson became known for a repertoire of songs that include, "Upside Down," "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," "If I Had Eyes," and "You and Your Heart."
Outside of music, Johnson is known for creating the Johnson Ohana Charitable Foundation to benefit the children of Hawaii and promote environmental awareness. He also lends his support to a number of philanthropic causes, including organizations focused on the arts and music education. One hundred percent of the profits from his 2010 world tour were donated to charity. He played a 7-show acoustic tour of the Hawaiian Islands in the spring of 2012 with John Cruz and Paula Fuga.

One of my biggest regrets in general is not being able to serve (chronic anxiety 4-F-ed me.)
However, one of the things I do champion is a military/civilian draft for a number of reasons. Not to force nationalism down people's throats, but to provide a win/win for people:
1: There are a lot of areas in the US where people's only routes of success are the big house or six feet under. Having a draft would at least give them a chance at somewhere else in the US.
2: The government needs to be able to rapidly haul people for emergency work. Take a disaster like Sandy, having people just a flight away to help with everything from restoring power to getting an IT structure going so emergency crews can communicate would help in mitigations.
3: It would give work to some people who might never be able to get hired on because their community just has no jobs available, period. Chicago and Detroit come to mind -- if someone can make a reasonable living, they wouldn't be on the streets hoping their 9mm will win a gunfight against some other gangbanger setting foot on their turf.
4: Getting people moving and paid means an economy, which is good for business in general.
5: As Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam have shown us, just "shock and awe" won't win jack. You need boots on the ground inch by inch for a victory. You also don't win wars by making fortified structures and letting the enemy surround you. The Brits learned this in colonial times. Having the manpower to actually deal with an invasion does two things: It gets a justified war done, and because so many people have their lives on the line, a combat theater that is not justified will result in people actively taking a role and stopping it, unlike Iraq where few Americans had a stake in how the conflict went.
6: It would give employers people to train that have proven themselves. No H-1Bs needed.
7: It would give families a stake in what wars are being fought. No "oh, that's just some putz who couldn't find a job so he enlisted" crap. Everyone's sons/daughters might be on those front lines. Which means that a conflict better be a justified one.

I think they'd be able to get a lot more/better people doing important non-combat roles if they just let them join up as non-combat.
"Collateral damage" is the way wars used to be won. You killed enemy soldiers, of course, but you also killed vast numbers of civilians. Only when one side no longer has the will to fight can the war be considered over.
Nowadays wars go on forever because nobody wants to even hurt a civilian. Even after the fighting stops countries still consider themselves to be at war. That breeds new wars.

which is how I voted, but:
someone in a military family has a distinctly different relation to the military (and often to the surrounding community and to society at large) than does an equivalent person in a civilian family. Certain rules®s apply to families of military personnel and certain privileges apply to them as well. I recall going through a checkpoint to go to school, or having to carry my ID going to the pool or the beach, because I had to go back through the main gate to get back home. I remember dreading my father being transferred, and feeling both sad and guiltily relieved when he was sent overseas by himself, because it meant that I wouldn't have to leave my friends and home again. On the other hand, unlike most citizens of the US, I had free medical care - until my father retired. And really cool parades. And hands-on time in a tank.
Even today, when I doubt I could adjust to military life, I find some aspects of the civilian world irrationally chaotic. I tear up when I see a "missing man" flight overhead, or a military funeral. I even miss the sound of "Colours" at sunset.
My life is no longer bound up with the military, but my memories and emotions still inextricably tie me to it, and I greatly appreciate those who serve.
If you haven't served, you don't really understand (Score:4, Insightful)I spent 8 years in the US Army. I love the service; I learned some really valuable skills to include survival, combat, navigation, telecom and lots more. Spent 2 years overseas -- one hostile environment, one not. Almost got blown up a couple of times, lost a few buddies in the process. One way to look at it is that the military is similar to the largest fraternity you can imagine; people of all types share a common bond of brotherhood that spans generations.
I left the Army a couple of years ago and I'm doing well as a civilian. I'd do it all over again if I had to choose.
Serving is something which can only be truly understood by those who have served. Judging from the polling results (and slashdot snark in general), a minority of people here have been in some form of service or another. The rest, whether they once desired to serve or not, just don't "get it". The people I've met are great, the memories we've had are unforgettable (for good or ill), and the places and cultures I've experienced are vastly different and unique. That's a whole lot of experience I gained which I never could have gotten as a college student or anything else. The choice is always an individual thing, at least in the USA, but there's nothing wrong with NOT donning a uniform and volunteering to fight.
To my brothers- and sisters-in-arms: thank you for your service. You have my respect.

2 reasons :
A] NATO is essentially following US orders. The reason why a lot of european political parties in different countries have been opposed to the participation of their military in NATO. (Although to my knowledge only France has withdrawn from NATO and only for 30 years, they are back)
B] The United States of America as other great democracies such as China, Russia, Saddam hussein's Irak, Iran, Israel and North Korea, doesn't recognize the authority of the La Hague international Penal Court. Therefore No crime of war perpetrated by the US military can ever be trialed by an independant court.
cf : Vietnam, Kosovo, Irak 1 and 2, the contras, etc etc.. I'm not going to start listing the CIA black Ops it would take days.
The truth is mathematically simple : the US military is responsible for more civilian deaths since 1945 than any other military forces, and the number of crimes of war and crimes against humanity they perpetrated far surpasses any other nation. Yet they are the self-appointed judge of what is right and human on the planet, and have been for 70 years. Kind of makes me think of the bible : Satan kills 10 person in the whole book, God 2 millions and something. But God is good and love and satan is bad. Because fuck logic, right ?

And yes, it is slavery. Just because your government passes a law and says it's for your own good doesn't change the fact that an unwilling participant in any such scheme is most definitely a slave.
And apart from that, I find it appalling that a seeming majority of people think military service is some kind of noble endeavor. The biggest nations and military alliances aren't fending off invasions of their homes. They ARE the invaders. They go to foreign lands, meet exciting new people and MURDER them. Usually on the flimsiest pretexts. "I was following orders" is not an excuse for killing someone. "They shot at me first" isn't an excuse when YOU are the invader. That's akin to a burglar claiming self-defense in shooting a homeowner who tried to defend his property. "I joined to do good and defend my country but a bad president started a bad war" is NEVER an excuse. You chose to join knowing that could happen (and based on, oh, say all of US history, you should have known it was damn likely), and when it comes right down to it, you choose to fire a weapon and take a life. Military service is NOT noble, it's despicable. Whatever the intentions, the soldiers make possible the wholesale slaughter of foreign peoples. Until people stop glorifying the trained attack dogs of the state, and stop making excuses for their actions, governments will have a plentiful source of cannon fodder and bullet sponges to continue invading and slaughtering.

...the crime rate in the U.S. has been dropping significantly and steadily for 30 years now. During that entire time, per-capita gun ownership has gone steadily UP. And so have concealed carry permits.
Also in that time the percentage of homes with internet connections have increasing significantly, along with the average connection speed. Therefore it's clear that buying a gun gives you fast internet. That's statistics, that is.

Nice logic there. Why don't you just say that war is dirty and bad things happen and the US isn't Superman and whatever side-line opinions you have about it are probably ill-informed and poorly constructed?
Americans do not allow their soldiers and airmen to be tried in foreign countries because of politics never allowing a fair trial.
Yeah, I guess the US policy of simply not having trials at all and just detaining "enemy combatants" indefinitely without any legal hearings is much more fair.

-Written from Afghanistan
You're living in a dream world, one where war is waged by people who don't protect themselves against people who shoot at them from behind civilians, and live among civilians.
The examples you used from WWII are ones of horrific destruction, and yet they pale in comparison to the sheer scale of the conflict that they were in. I guess if you want to pretend that the US military has ever pretended to be a humanitarian NGO, you might have a point, but honestly, you're telling a boxer that he's more violent than other boxers because he threw bigger punches.
However, within the scope of what military forces do, they can be more or less honorable, and more or less concerned with the lives of civilians. The US military is more concerned with civilian casualties, but they remain a military force, and so if you apply the Florence Nightingale approach to judging them, they will always come up short. They are also in so many places that if you compare them to militaries that have had no scope for operations, they will also look worse. It's easy to look bad when you have fought for a long time in many places for many reasons.

After four rounds and a six-question bonus round to break a three-way tie, members of Graham High School's team emerged victors Tuesday in The Times-News Current Events Challenge.
Eleven teams from Alamance County high schools competed in the current events quiz, held at St. Mark's Church on Tuesday night. The three-member teams fielded questions about sports and entertainment, local and state, national and world news that appeared in The Times-News from March 18 to 24.
After the first four rounds, a three-way tie emerged among teams from Eastern High School, Graham High School and one of two teams from Alamance-Burlington Middle College. Each of those teams scored 40 points on five-, 10- and 15-point questions about local and world events.
Graham's "Victorious Secret" members Chris Giacomini, Kehyonah Graves and Jackie Lanning squeaked ahead when they correctly answered a final question about the pope's shoes being made in Borgo, Italy.
They were presented with newsprint crowns and the "World Cup Award," shaped like a globe. They also won $25 gift certificates to La Fiesta and Cancun Mexican restaurants. They said they each brought strengths to the competition — Graves and Lanning with local and regional knowledge, and Giacomini with a grasp of national news. They were sponsored by the Graham Rotary Club.
Lanning said training for the event was the first time she'd regularly read a newspaper. She thought she'd keep up with it "fairly regularly."
Eastern Alamance's team — Emma Barthold, JT Kirby and Emma Thompson — was the current events runner-up, and were awarded newsprint sashes and $20 gift certificates to Blue Ribbon Diner, Texas Roadhouse and Mykonos. They were sponsored by Mebane Women's Club.
Kirby said he usually reads the paper each morning but paid particular attention gearing up for the competition.
"It was interesting to read things in the local news and then a couple days later see them on TV," Kirby said.
This was the first time high school students competed in the annual current events quiz. In previous years, business leaders competed for the titles and prizes.
Proceeds from team sponsorships and raffles went to the Alamance Community College Foundation, which helps pay for students' fees, and the Times-News' Newspaper in Education program, which provides newspapers for use in classrooms. The Rotary Club of Alamance was the event's other chief sponsor.
Additional teams from Alamance-Burlington Middle College, Burlington Christian Academy, Clover Garden School, Cummings High School, River Mill Academy, Southern Alamance High School, Western Alamance High School and Williams High School also competed.
Byron Tucker of radio station 920 WPCM served as moderator. Judges were Alamance Community College President Martin Nadelman, ACC Executive Vice President Gene Couch, ACC's Social and Behavioral Sciences department head Sherri Singer and Times-News Managing Editor Jay Ashley. Ashley also prepared the questions.
The team sponsors were ACC Student Government Association, Charles R. and Sylvia T. Harris, McDonald's, Nichols Dodge Inc., Glen Raven Inc., Burlington Christian Academy and Dick Shirley Chevrolet Inc.

I just finished The End of Faith. I enthusiastically agree with the idea that faith, particularly religious faith, has resulted in horrendous misery. Reason must prevail over dogma. Secular moral values grounded in honesty, compassion and love are always superior to any religious values one can conjure up. But unfortunately Sam Harris has failed to make a case for it.
From the bibliography and end-notes presented in the book it seems very likely that Sam Harris is a well read person. But from the conclusions he presents it seems his understanding is quite superficial. Some examples of this include (i) Hindu/Muslim carnage in the wake of Indian & Pakistani independence—the reasons are much more complex than just religion, (ii) Tamil Tiger/Sri Lankan problem—this conflict is entirely secular to the extent that one of the cultural heroes of Tamil Tigers is an avid and virulent atheist (E.V.Ramasamy), (iii) Israel/Palestinian conflict—Harris simply ignores the asymmetry between the two sides, one side uses helicopters and tanks and the other side is left to respond with stones and their own bodies strapped with bombs, etc. There are many more examples of superficiality that can be found in the book.
One particularly shocking conclusion Harris presents is the justification for collateral damage caused by aerial bombing and torture of presumed terrorists, as if the alternatives are clear cut. Why is bombing with the best weapon "available" to one side (say, cruise missiles) with the full knowledge of tremendous collateral damage morally acceptable and the same justification, namely, using the best weapon at their disposal (say, car bomb) morally indefensible. Sam Harris lost me when he advocated, in effect and not with the same words, "bomb the barbarians to civilization" approach (words in quote are mine, not his).
I agree the tenets of Islam (and the other two monotheistic religions) include so much of violence, the world will be a better place without them and while we are at it get rid of other religions as well and in their place have secular moral values such as rationality, humanity, compassion and love to guide our lives. In this respect, in spite of religious dogma, most people are moral. Most people subscribe to these values just stated, Muslims included. Just look at the news item reported by NYT. The suffering of two young (very young) Yemeni girls has done more to improving the lives of all girls in Arab societies than Sam Harris' treatise on Islam. The fight is just beginning in Yemen. The fundamentalists will not give up without a fight. But let us not strengthen their hands with our vitriolic rhetoric. Let us help the Yemenese human rights lawyer by staying out.
Yes, it would have been much better if Child Marriages do not take place at all. The reasons they do, even in "advanced" countries like the US are very complex. Religious dogma is a part of it. Poverty and illiteracy are two more. Past US support to despotic regimes for a promise of uninterrupted supply of oil is another. So, let us be a little humble here. It is easy to dish out advice. But insulting the vast majority of well meaning Muslims in Arab countries will only empower the radicals. The misguided US foreign policy over many decades motivated by greed for oil has resulted in the suffering of generations of these people. So, enough with blaming them. A better approach is to let them be and engage them with honest compassion. That would be beneficial not just for them, but for us as well.

A Nov. 22 date has been set for the Delaware County Board of Elections to determine whether or not a recount will be necessary to determine who won a third seat on the Olentangy school board this election.
Among four candidates seeking three seats on the school board, Adam White narrowly won the third-most votes, according to final but unofficial results released by the elections board Tuesday night.
But White's 8,185 votes (20.59 percent) are close enough to Martin Johnson's 8,099 votes (20.37 percent) to possibly trigger an automatic recount.
The Delaware County Board of Elections still has 345 provisional ballots from Olentangy precincts to count before it can certify the vote totals, said deputy director Karla Herron. At the board meeting later this month, elections officials will decide which provisional ballots are valid, and counts the ones that are. If White and Johnson are still separated by a margin of less than 1/2 percent after that, it will result in the recount.
White, 33, works in accounts receivable for Atrium Centers LLC, a skilled nursing care company and is an active member of the Delaware County Republican Party.
Johnson, 41, is a senior service manager for engineering conglomerate Siemens, and had previously served on the school district's cost savings and efficiency and school funding action committees. He was also appointed as project leader for Olentangy 2020.
Incumbents Stacy Dunbar, 48, and Kevin O'Brien, 43, re-won their seats rather handily, picking up 29.15 and 29.89 percent of the votes, respectively.
