Sequestration no longer unthinkable, former Pentagon insider says
Tuesday - 2/19/2013, 6:29pm EST
Throughout much of last year, the idea that automatic deep budget cuts known as sequestration would actually go into effect seemed implausible.
After all, lawmakers only agreed to the cuts as a trigger — an idea so unpalatable that an often fractious Congress would agree to an alternative way to slash the deficit.
But with the cuts slated to go into effect in less than two weeks, it's clear many in government — particularly the Defense Department — are concerned the looming cuts are likely and will have a devastating effect on military readiness.
"I think the original idea that this was unthinkable has now withered away," former Deputy Defense Secretary Bill Lynn said in a recent interview on Pentagon Solutions with Francis Rose. "And people think it's now very 'thinkable,' and you're seeing DoD start to do real planning for it.
Lynn is now the CEO of DRS Technologies.
The Defense Department has stepped up planning for the cuts, including talk of furloughing nearly all of its civilian workforce for at least one day a week for the remainder of the fiscal year. At a Senate hearing last week, Lynn's successor Ashton Carter told lawmakers he's all but given up hope defense cuts will be averted.
Bill Lynn in studio (Federal News Radio file photo)
"I don't think in anybody's view it became ... a real possibility until very recently," Lynn said. "Even going into the debates this past New Year when we were looking not only at sequestration but the ... expiration of the Bush tax cuts, I think the expectation was that Congress and the White House would come to a deal."
'Devastating' combination of cuts
Among the many issues causing headaches for DoD budget planners are sequestration's size — "it's a very, very deep cut," Lynn said — and the fact that it's applied "in a single fell swoop" across all programs, projects and activities.
"It's the combination that's really devastating," Lynn said.
In the event that sequestration would go into effect, some lawmakers have seized on the idea of reprogramming, which allows agencies to shift funds from one appropriated line item to another.
Currently, agencies, including the Pentagon, can only reprogram funds with the explicit authority of congressional oversight committees.
"Traditionally, that is an elaborate process, and it is done with much smaller amounts of money," Lynn said. "You're not talking about the tens of billions of dollars that would have to be moved in this kind of context."
Lynn said DoD will likely consider reprogramming funds, but it will be only one budget tool at its disposal, not a panacea.
Effects won't be immediate
The readiness issues cited by Defense leaders are "accurate," Lynn said, but "they won't be immediate."
"This is going to be more of a slow-moving train wreck as opposed to an immediate crash — at least in most cases," he added.
But while the effects of sequestration won't be immediate, they will be long-lasting, Lynn said.
For example, the impact on troop readiness won't just last weeks or months, he said, but years.
"These things cascade through the systems," Lynn said. "So if people are expecting to see on March 2 a big bang, they'll probably be disappointed. ... This is something that builds to a crescendo rather than happens immediately."
Latest in DoD budget woes
Sequestration is only the latest and, admittedly, the most destructive in a series of changes to the DoD budget.
"Each of the last three years, we've completely changed the Defense budget," Lynn said. "It's impossible for the Department of Defense to plan in that environment."
Pentagon strategists use overarching Defense strategy to plot out the department's budget. Among the items funded by the budget are the force structure to implement the department's strategy and the weapons systems and training needed to support it, Lynn said.
"All of those things take multiple years to put in place," he said. If you're changing the whole budget line every six to 12 months, that instability in and of itself — independent of the level of spending — makes it impossible for DoD to put together a coherent program."
Also adding to the Pentagon's budget-planning woes is the possibility that Congress would extend the current short-term continuing resolution for the remainder of the fiscal year rather than passing a complete budget.
The problem is CRs really only make sense in the short-term, Lynn said, because they bar agencies from shifting funds around or starting new programs.
"It doesn't make sense if this is actually going to be the year's budget. ... Having a budget with no new program starts doesn't make sense but that's where I think we're headed."

Customer Raves & Reviews
perfect colors and fun, modern style
We were able to personalize to the colors of our wedding. I love that the style is fun and modern. I am a big fan of fun fonts also, and this invite has just that!
Excellent & Eye-catching!
I actually bought these for a graduation save-the-date since most of my guests had to travel in from out of town. They were SO easy to personalize. I chose bright green, bright pink, bright yellow, and a bright blue for my colors. Switched the double names to my first, middle, and last. And of course I also switched out the language in the bubble. Could not have been easier. The paper is very durable and professional looking, has a great sheen to it. Everyone who has received it so far has thought it was the most adorable thing. I would definitely recommend these - for any occasion!
Great Invite
Great for my fiance and I who are fun people and young at heart. Formal and fun all in one. Would have liked to have had an inner and outer envelope.
These are PERFECT
I love our Save the dates! They have all the right colors and really stand out on a fridge! They are great quality and I love them I cant wait to send them out! It cam shipped in a pretty blue box with everything wrapped so that nothing was ruined in shipping. They also send a nice booklet with invitation samples and tips on how to pick the perfect invitation for your wedding! I will be ordering from Magnet street again!
Better than expected!!!
I ordered these Save the Date cards for my daughters 8th birthday, they turned out perfect! I will recommend your product to all my friends & family!

Love It!
I love these cardigans - now have 3. The tall size is perfect for me (5'9"). All the ones I've had wash and wear well - looking forward to having this one for years and purchasing others in the future.
Columbus, OH
Great Cardigan
I have looked at these cardigans for a long time and finally took the plunge and purchased one. I love the length and weight of this sweater. It is perfect to wear over sleeveless dresses. I appreciate the great color choices offered whatever the season. Fits as I expected and the quality is top notch!
Beaumont, TX
Love it!
very nice quality. Also long enough. Really like it!
Seattle, WA
Very nice sweater
This sweater is the perfect length and goes with everything. Great for wearing anytime, especially for meetings/classes with very cold air conditioning in the room.
Carrollton, GA
Boxy and big
I got this cardigan in various colors in tall. The material is heavy and the cut is big and boxy. I ordered a small and it fit like a large. Also, each color cardigan had a totally different fit... longer, shorter, etc. I was totally disappointed. They must have put clips on those models in the photos to hold back the massive amount of material. Obviously sent them back.
Uxbridge, MA
Best Cardigan Ever
I have 6 of these cardigans. They are a great fit, and dress them up and down. They wash well and keep their shape. I had to replace one because I let my daughter barrow one and she wouldn't give it back cause she loved it. The fit is true to size.
Stanton, CA
Simple and basic
This is a very basic sweater, lightweight with no frills. It suits the purpose for a look with light warmth, since the material is rather thin but not shabby. I got hyacinth and navy, haven't had to wash them yet but so far am satisfied with them, as I bought them mainly for the look and lightweight warmth and got exactly what I needed. I don't consider them cheap but they are not high quality, either. Definitely adequate, simple, basic lightweight sweaters that fit well and are soft and comfortable, and I'm glad I bought them.
Lancaster, NY
Perfect Cardigan
I absolutely love this sweater. The two colors I bought are no longer available but please note that the Forrest green wasn't as deep or rich as the picture, however, it's still forrest and very pretty. I find the longer length of the boyfriend sweater quite flattering and this sweater hangs beautifully. I always feel pretty and put together in these sweaters. I highly recommend this sweater.
San Francisco, CA
Navy Boyfriend Sweater
Exactly what I wanted...extremely comfortable..true to size.. Will order more..
Bloomfield Hills, MI
Love This Cardigan
I give this cardigan five *****. The cardigan is soft, comfortable and classy. It just finishes off the look of an outfit. The colors are amazing and I have ordered 7 already. I recommend them to everyone. You will not regret it.
Crittenden, KY
Great cardigan
This purchase was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a lightweight, COTTON knit cardigan. The quality is great. It washes very well and feels comfortable on. The buttons even match in color. I will add more colors soon.
Nanuet, New York
Love,Love and Love
I have many colors in this cardigan. However, the gray that I have is worn. Please Chadwick, I need a new gray cardigan. Bring it back!!! :)
Great TALL sweater!
Love this sweater! Because it is a tall, I can buy the size that really fits and the sleeves are long enough. Also longer in the body. I may buy another.
Normal, IL
Great Deal....Great Choices
Thank you, thank you! The boyfriend petite sweaters are true to size and come in lovely colors for any time of year-the best thing is how flattering and comfortable they are. I get many compliments!
Salem, OR
Boyfriend sweater
Love this sweater! I am 5 ft 8" tall about 143 lbs. ordered in large tall, way too big, exchanged for MT, fits perfect, tunic length, Pink Lemonade, great dressed up or jeans, just wish it had pockets!
San Diego
Because I carry weight in my shoulders and upper arms, and based on reviews saying these run small, I ordered a 2xl instead of my usual 1xl. Mistake! These run true to size so I will be exchanging. The sleeves and length are generous. Definitely medium weight and color (blue, white, heather) is accurate. I'm only sorry they are selling out already.
Denton MD
Boyfriend Cardigan
I love this sweater and the fact that it comes in tall sizes. It is long enough to cover my rear end and works perfectly with maxi dresses. I have bought this in several colors and am very pleased.

Schenectady, NY
Beautiful Colors!
I bought this is a Petite Large in two colors -- seaspray and pink lemonade. I love both colors. The length is just right. The sleeves are a little tight, but I'm keeping them. They are so pretty! I haven't washed them yet, so don't know how they will hold up.
Boise, ID
Nice staple, bit loose
Nice cotton sweater with matching buttons. The length is perfect, a bit longer. I love this particular piece, and have it in several colors. Wish it has a little more of a fit rather than being quite so loose and boxy, but it isn't terrible and I wear it over things so it's fine. The older ones I have held up really good through several years of wearing and washing and still look really good. Definitely a good value.
Neenah WI
Nice cardigan a little boxy but overall very happy bought other colors
Love it
Love it I wear it to work almost daily!

All around seater
I purchased this sweater to wear with my dress that I purchased for Easter. I also wanted a sweater that I can wear with just about anything. It was fantastic and the color matched perfect. The combo was perfect. Sweater is good quality and will be wearing it with my blue jeans as well. Love it and will probably order a couple more in other colors.
Conifer, Colorado
Nearly ideal
Overall this sweater is a hit. Nice long length. Also love the tall option. Agree that wrinkles don't fall out easily. Love the assorted colors. I bought two (lilac and carribean, along with matching solid colored shirts and then add a pretty floral light weight scarf or lavender jade jewelery to pull the look together. They look nice on. Only really big complaint is that I wore the sweater one day and it started to pill under the arms...such a disappointment. I wanted nice quality (now a days, most mid weight sweaters are too thin and don't hold a shape) sweater to layer on and off at the office that I can get a least a couple seasons of routine wear and still look well groomed. This came close but needs a bit more quality to fabric/knit.
Love my Boyfriend!
I've been wanting the boyfriend cardigan for a long time! I am extremely satisfied with the feel and the fit. It's perfect! I love it!
Garden City, Ks
Thin and clingy
Thin and clingy. Length is good, cut is okay. Thin fabric looks cheap, wrinkles and doesn't drape particularly well. Overall it's okay for spring but I wouldn't buy it again.
Phila PA
Notreal boyfriend sweater
This is not a boyfriend sweater. It is a women's sweater, light weight, clinging, and no pockets. Boyfriend sweaters are just like men's, only in women's sizes. I've returned it.
Sara Rose
pink sweater returned
I like this sweater a lot, it's the right size and long enough for leggings. It fits well but I had to return it because the coloring of the fabric is blotchy. There were areas near the bottom right side of the sweater where the pink fabric dye was darker than the rest of the sweater. I returned the sweater for poor quality.
Holly Y.
Ft Collins, CO
Great Sweater
I bought one of these in lavender a few years ago, and just love it, so I grabbed another one in the dark green recently. I'm not noticing the flaring/rolling problem others have described, but the new one is a little shorter than the older one. Not a huge deal, but I really, really liked the long (but not too long) style of the older version. Other than that, the color is great, and it fits well!
Denver, CO
A Sweater to Love
I loved the first sweater I purchased in pink so much, I ordered a second in banana cream. They are perfect! With matching pants, they work as a suit. I will probably order more colors as they are such quality sweaters.
Litchfield Park, AZ
Perfect Sweater
I ordered the pink sweater to wear with a pair of Chadwick's pink brocade ankle pants I had purchased a few months ago and did not know what to wear with them. With a white shirt, the outfit was perfect. I wore it to a party and received many compliments. I already have another one on the way in the banana cream color. Perfect cardigan. Thanks!
Boyfriend Cardigan Sweater
I absolutely love this sweater. Wonderfully soft, easy fit, like the extra length. And, I am so happy that finally a navy cardigan has returned, as I looked for one for over a year. Great purchase, will no doubt reorder in other colors.
Beckley, WV
Very Nice Sweater
I have these in many colors. I love the gray, but need a NEW one. Please, Please bring back the gray in Ex Large or Women's 1X.
Love them
I love these sweaters. I have eight of them, and they all fit the same.
Jane Williams
Loves Park il
love it!
Love this sweater! Sizing is great. I ordered the peppermint in Tall Large and tall makes all the difference. Nice and long. My husband even said nice things and he never notices
South Jordan, UT
Runs small/short
I love boyfriend cardigans and Chadwicks carries so many colors that I thought I'd try a couple. I am 5'2' and 110 lbs but ordered the regular small instead of a petite as the sleeves on petites are often too short. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the regular sleeves were also too short and the sweater only hit a couple inches below my waist. I was hoping for it to be longer. Shrunk even more when washed. I loved the colors of the sweaters, however, and the soft material. Gonna try ordering a tall this time to see if it will give me the fit I want.
Brainerd, MN
Ditto on the inconsistent sizing
I purchased this cardigan in red XL last year and love it so much that I decided to get another. I ordered the same size, but in bright pink for the summer. The XL bright pink is so small (more like M) and while I could live with the size of the body of the cardie, the sleeves make my arms look like sausages. The fabric seems to be the same as my red one, but the size just isn't. In reading the reviews, I'm thinking that the bright pink will just need to go back because I don't feel I am assured that I can get the same product that I fell in love with. So sad!
Cindy K
Montoursville, PA
Sizing is a Bit inconsistent
I am 5'4" 135lbs. I ordered 4 colors in Talls based on the reviews with the exception of the Black, tall was not available so I ordered Medium. The difference in length between the Med and the Med.Tall was about 1", with the exception of the Heather Grey- it was huge! And the Red was on the small side-making me afraid to wash for fear of shrinking. Black(M) was true to size along with Loganberry(MT) and Spring Green (MT). Red and Heather Grey are going back for exchange.

Not So Good Anymore
The quality of these sweaters has gone downhill. The first two of these I bought some years ago were nice, but not the recent two I bought. For these recently purchased sweaters, the fabric is flimsier than before, and these recent ones pucker and roll up at the bottom. Unfortunately I've always had really bad return experiences with Chadwicks, so it wasn't worth it to return these.
Love this sweater
I've bought four of these sweaters and I am getting ready to buy another. I absolutely love this sweater. It's really slimming and the colors are great.
Chesterfield, VA
Disappointed in the sweater
I love sweaters and was so looking forward to this one that I bought two. Unfortunately, they don't fit in any way that matches the photo. The top area near the buttons is puckered and the bottom looks like it has been stretched out and doesn't hang right. I feel like the sweaters look as if they are several years old and stretched out. Both of these sweaters are now at the list of items I only wear when I don't care what I look like but need to keep warm.
Bakersfield, CA
Not like the old ones
I have a red cardigan just like this from Chadwicks about 10 years ago and still love it. I was so happy to see they returned and ordered one black and one brown (brown cardis are so hard to find). Unfortunately, although they looked the same in the catalog as my old red one, when they arrived I realized it was too good to be true. They fit sort of the same, except for the annoying flared bottom, but the more important and annoying feature is the material which is completely different - thick and 100% cotton, which is disasterous in the dryer. I think the old sweaters were acrylic. Retailers need to sometimes just stick with the classics. Nice color selection though, so that deserves an extra star.
Buffalo, NY
Shorter than expected
I purchased this peppermint cardigan in medium. I love the color but I'm disappointed with the length. I'm 5'2" and ordered the medium believing it would be long enough to cover my hips and backside but it barely goes to the my hips. I am worried about the result after washing. The catalog model wore it perfectly. Mine not so much.
Statham, GA
nice sweater
I like the sweater overall but after you wash it the bottom starts to rise up and become uneven. I will probably buy more though, I like the material and the colors.
Joann Davey
PUeblo, Colorado
Fabulous Sweater for Talls
I am always looking for sweaters that are long enough in the sleeves- the tall sizes are perfect! I ordered a bunch and now that the fall colors are out, I'm ordering more. Keep them in stock, please!
Boston MA
Love this Cardigan
Have never been so happy with a cardigan, love the way it fits, the slight flair at the bottom is different, flattering. I have 3 and I am ordering another 3 in different colors. Wash well, and they don't shrink
Vancouver, WA
nice, but
Love the sweater, but I ordered in a Medium TALL and was a bit disappointed in the length of the sleeves. I am 5'10" and I would of like them a bit longer (even an inch or so longer would be better). They did not appear any longer then the average length sweaters that I have order from Chadwicks previously.
Green Bay, WI
Tall Small is the size of a tent
I am 5' 9" and a 6 - 8 dress size. I was SO happy to see that this sweater came in tall sizes as I hate sleeves that don't reach my wrists. I ordered a tall small and it was ENORMOUS! I have no idea why they called it a "small." I didn't order a regular small, so I have no idea what the difference is, but I'm fed up with "tall" sizes being treated just like longer "plus" sizes!
Wausau, WI
Amazing and in TALL SIZES now!
THANK YOU!I wanted to love this sweater but the sleeves have never been long enough, until now. I just bought SIX sweaters in tall and they are perfect. Thank you so much!Now, can you consider getting the stretch poplin button front shirts in tall sizes, too? Please?
GingerD in Boston
I bought one in black for the office and went back to get another for home. Now I'm getting one in white! Or maybe I should get two?? Length is great, fits wonderfully and washes well!
Rahway, NJ
I have 2 and great for work. I am 5'7" 150 lbs and ordered large so I could wear any kind of shirt under them. Perfect fit.
I ordered this sweater in PM in Dusty Rose & Black for myself. I liked it so much I ordered a size S & a size M in grey for gifts. Just ordered 3 more in Red for all of us. Fits good opened or buttoned & very comfortable.

Mandeville, LA
It's NOT Rich Red
If you want a truly RED sweater, this isn't it. It's more a deep berry and I'm disappointed. And sorry I didn't return it right away. For the money it could be a little nicer.
Best Sweater EVER!!
I currently have the plum and the emerald and ordering two more today! There is nothing I don't like about them!!

I wish it had pockets, but I do love the sweater

Colors Not True
I really liked the sweater. Nice fit and weight, but the Blue Jay and Very Berry were much darker than the pictures. I would like to order more, but am concerned that the colors won't be what it looks like online.
Sand Springs OK
Love this cardigan
I bought this in the yellow and I love the color and the fit. I like that it is somewhat fitted and doesn't just hang boxy. The fit is true to size. I would like to see it in white. I plan to purchase a black next.
Silsbee, Tx.
This is a GREAT fitting sweater
This is really a great fitting sweater. Fabric has a high quality feel, holds itsshape and I am going back for more. Trust me, this sweater is a great purchase.

Great Sweater!
I love this sweater. It's not too heavy and perfect for layering. I've dressed it up with a long skirt and I've dressed it down with a pair of jeans. Washes well, and fits great. I usually wear it unbuttoned with a light shirt underneath. I really like the way it fits. If you're looking for a sweater like this I highly recommend it. I think you'll be pleased.
York, PA
Very neat looking cardigan/true to size
I own this in "Laguna Turquoise" which isn't offered in the present color selection. It's lovely. The fabric is nice and tightly knit and I haven't noticed any pilling or anything of that sort yet. I noted a review that said it runs large. I would tend to disagree. I got large because my hips are my largest part and I HATE when things are tight around them. Plus, I wanted to be comfortable when layering it over other tops/sweaters. The hips in the large fit fine, the bust is a bit roomy. That said, my "large" hips are size ten in jeans. My daughter would say I should wear an eight. So I'd say this runs fairly true to size/maybe a hair on the small side. Regardless, it's lovely and I'm considering another. Just have to decide on the color.
This is a great cardigan. Fabric is soft and not too thin. The length is just right for my 5'6" height. The fit is easy, not too tight or loose. Very flattering. It would be great if they had some in more earthy tones and some blues. The blue jay looks more like the aqua looks in the pictures. Still it looks so good I kept the sweater anyway. The black is true to the picture as well as the heather gray. Will buy more if they offer different colors.
Monroe Louisiana
Boy Friend sweater
I liked the sweater . The quality for the cost was great. I think having pockets would be a plus. The reason I returned it was the color. The discription : Burnt Orange made me think a darker orange. No ,we are talking Bright Orange to bright for me. Size was true .
Portland, OR.
Runs large
Nice sweater but does run large.
St. Paul, MN
Love this Sweater!
I love this sweater! I have 2 of them and will be ordering more. I love the fit. They are not clingy at all and work great over short sleeve tops in the office. Now to decide what the next color will be...
Holbrook, MA
comfortable and pretty
This sweater drapes wonderfully. It does not cling and make you look fat. It does not itch!!! Really comfortable. I got the Lagoon and the burnt orange, very pretty colors. I don't know if they shrink as one reviewer stated, as I haven't washed them yet. I like them so much, I'm going to try velvet plum and black. Great price also.
hey you
welcome back chadwick! this is a beautiful light weight sweater,the color is very rich.
Arlington Tx
Love this Sweater
I ordered this in the orange color and I just love the feel and fit. It's not too clingy, but not so big you feel like you're wearing too big of a sweater. Great with cotton tops or a button down shirt -- will def purchase in more colors!
Armonk NY
Very nice sweater. Seems to run a little big though. I usually wear a small (I'm 5'7" and about 150 lb) but always order a medium as Chadwicks seems to run a little small. However, I could easily wear this sweater in a small. I ordered the desert rose and the chocolate brown. The desert rose seems to be a little big and I'm hoping it will shrink a bit when I wash it. If the fit were better would have definitely given it 5 stars.
Wapakoneta, OH
I have this sweater in several colors and am buying a couple more today. The length and weight are great and the colors beautiful. With a shell and scarf they are perfect for the office. Thank you Chadwicks for this sweater!
love love love
I love love love this sweater. I have bought three in the last year. The latest one I bought a size up and still love it. The first two were great but over time have shrunk due to multiple washings ( ive worn the heck out of them!!) The new one is a bit longer and just as comfy!! Cant go wrong with this buy. Im sure ill be buying more soon.
Fabulous sweater
Love this sweater. Long enough to cover the rear end and light enough to wear over a shell or long sleeved shirt without getting too hot. Love it. Buying more today.

The new DOE funding will help companies scale up biorefining processes from small pilot plants, such as this facility in Nebraska.Credit: Abengoa Bioenergy
DOE announced on May 1st that it will provide up to $200 million over
five years to support the development of small-scale cellulosic
biorefineries in the United States. The projects will involve
designing, building, and operating biorefineries at one-tenth of
commercial scale. The small-scale biorefineries will convert
cellulosic biomass—trees, grasses, and agricultural residues—into liquid transportation fuels such as ethanol, as well as biobased
chemicals and products. DOE expects to award funds to 5 to 10 small
biorefineries that demonstrate breakthrough technologies, can quickly
be moved to commercial scale, and are supported by sound business
strategy. Applicants must cover at least half the cost of the projects
and must submit their applications by August 14th. See the
DOE press release and the full
funding opportunity announcement.
The new funding will complement DOE's earlier funding announcement of
$385 million over four years to develop six full-scale biorefineries.
While the full-scale biorefineries will focus on near-term commercial
processes, the small facilities developed with this new funding will
experiment with new refining processes and feedstocks. See the article
from the EERE Network News on the earlier funding announcement.

Sam Harris in his book, "Letters to a Christian Nation" says this,
"Take the religion of Jainism as one example. The Jains preach a doctrine of utter non-violence. While the Jains believe many improbable things about the universe, they do not believe the sorts of things that lit the fires of the Inquisition. You probably think the Inquisition was a perversion of the 'true' spirit of Christianity. Perhaps it was. The problem, however, is that the teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. You are, of course, free to interpret the Bible differently-though isn't it amazing that you have succeeded in discerning the true teachings of Christianity, while the most influential thinkers in the history of your faith failed? (Pages 11-12)"
My Response
I agree with Sam Harris, it is true that Aquinas, Augustine, and Luther said some immoral things on how certain people should be treated. But before I discuss why I think Aquinas, Augustine, and Luther were wrong in some of their actions I would like Mr. Harris to discuss why he believes these three men were wrong in their thoughts and actions? What materialistic basis does Mr. Harris have in saying the actions that three men advocated were wrong? Mr. Harris has still yet to claim where his standard of morality comes from, and until he does so his claims hold no warrant.
The Christian however does have a standard of morality; this standard of morality comes from inspired scripture. Aquinas, Augustine, and Luther should also get their standard of morality from the same inspired scripture as I do. Yet I have a totally different view on how I should treat my Jewish neighbor. Mr. Harris wants the reader to believe the Bible is confusing on whether or not Christians should spread the gospel through the sword. He goes on to rightly show that Aquinas, Augustine, and Luther believed that violent actions against Jews were morally sound. Because of this fact Christianity must in some way discuss that violence should or can be used against Jews. Yet I would like Aquinas, Augustine, or Luther to show me where in the scriptures the gospel should be spread through the use of violence? When discussing the Inquisition and Pogroms against Jews scriptural verses are not used to justify their acts. For example, In Martin Luther's book, "On the Jews and their Lives," Luther tells the reader to set synagogues on fire, expel Jews from Northern Europe and even sanctioned the murder of Jews. Why did Luther allow such a sanction? According to Mr. Harris Luther must have had his reasons steeped in the Bible, after all he is one of the most popular Church leaders, and Luther would never sanction something outside of the Bible. In his book, Martin Luther discusses that Jews were murdering Christians; it was widely believed in Europe that Jews not only murdered Christians but drank their blood as sacrifices to God. While the first reason was a lie believed by Luther, his second reason was a fact. Luther excused violence toward Jews due to the fact that a large number of Christians, during the first 300 years of its existence, were persecuted and murdered by Jews. Many know about the slaughter that Romans did toward the early Christians yet many do not know that Jews also did the same. For example, during the Jewish uprising of "Bar Kokhura" the Jewish community was staging a rebellion against the Roman authority. The Jews called on the Christians in the community to rise up with them against the Romans. The Christians refused to attack a government that persecuted themselves, thus were slaughtered by the Jews. In fact up to 100,000 Christians were slaughtered either by the Roman Empire or by uprising Jews. Yet in recorded history there are no examples of Christians taking to the sword in order to spread Christianity or for that matter in defending Christianity. So why was it that early Christians took a pacifistic view of spreading and defending Christianity? The main reason is due to their foundation of knowledge placed in the Bible. Many early Church founders, such as Justinian, called for peace while being attacked by Jews. In his writing, "Servitude of the Jews" he says, "Absurd theologians defend hatred toward the Jews." Justinian does not call hatred toward a group of people absurd through his own thoughts, but rather gains these thoughts through the word of Christ. For example in the book of Matthew Christ says,
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, "Love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I tell you Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 538-48.)"
Martin Luther's acts against Jews qualify him, in this perspective, as an absurd theologian. In many areas Martin Luther was a great contributor to teaching the rich history of Christianity. What made Martin Luther a great contributor is when he took the riches found in the Bible and applied them into his works. Yet when you read Martin Luther's book, "On the Jews and their Lives" Luther uses no scripture to justify his actions against the Jews. Luther fail victim to the Northern European racist views of Jews and believed in the lies perpetrated about the Jews. In this aspect if Martin Luther would have held to his own teaches on Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone) he would have not been incorrect in his thinking. Sola Scriptura is the view that scripture, the Holy Bible, is above all men in determining the truths in this universe. Mr. Harris is right that many popular Christians have said some wrong things. Yet when you see all of these wrong things occur it is when they break away from the principle of Sola Scriptura. For example, the Catholic Church for hundreds of years preached the practice of indulgences. An indulgence is a piece of paper given to one who pays a certain amount of money to the Catholic Church. When one received this paper they were guaranteed a place in the Celestial City of Heaven. On another point it doesn't surprise me and it shouldn't surprise any Christians that previous Church leaders were wrong in some of their thinking. Christianity, that is Protestant Christianity, does not hold anyone up to a higher standard of creating objective right/wrong claims. We are all sinners and will make sinful actions with our hearts, minds, and hands. Luther was a sinner, as is everyone else in this world. So Martin Luther was at times an absurd theologian, should this surprise me? It doesn't.
Because these posts are on defending Christianity from the atheist Sam Harris I thought it would be interesting to take his argument against Christianity and turn it against his own belief in Atheism. I have changed Mr. Harris words a little bit to fit an argument that I would like to make
Sam Harris,
While the Jains believe many improbable things about the universe, they do not believe the sorts of things that lit the fires of European Imperialism in Africa. You probably think Social Darwinism in the late 1800's was a perversion of the 'true' spirit of Atheism. Perhaps it was. The problem, however, is that the teachings of Atheist are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Atheist to happily kill Europeans/non-Europeans for a century. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of Atheism like Thomas Huxley, Thomas Malthus, and Francis Galton to conclude that whites are the superior race. From these men many Social Darwinism advocated the wholesale murder of Africans, Asians, and Indians. You are, of course, free to interpret Atheism differently-though isn't it amazing that you have succeeded in discerning the true teachings of Atheism, while the most influential thinkers in the history of your faith failed?
Sincerely, Fletch_F_Fletch

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots.
But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election.
That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts.
For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008.
If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there.
This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census.
Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said.
The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said.
Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat.
Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

The Flyweight Pattern is a pattern for greatly reducing memory requirements by not requiring that heavy-weight objects be created in large numbers when dealing with systems that contain many things that are mostly the same. If for instance, a document was modeled using a complex character class that knew about unicode, fonts, positioning, etc., then the memory requirements could be quite large for large documents if each physical character in the document required its own character class instance. Instead, characters themselves might be kept within Strings and we might have one character class (or a small number such as one character class for each font type) that knew the specifics of how to deal with characters.
In such circumstances, we call the state that is shared with many other things (e.g. the character type) instrinsic state. It is captured within the heavy-weight class. The state which distinguishes the physical character (maybe just its ASCII code or Unicode) is called its extrinsic state.
First we are going to model some complex aircraft (the first being a hoax competitor of the second - not that is relevant to the example).
If we want to model our fleet, our first attempt might involve using many instances of these heavy-weight objects. It turns out though that only a few small pieces of state (our extrinsic state) change for each aircraft, so we will have singletons for the heavy-weight objects and capture the extrinsic state (bought date and asset number in the code below) separately.
So here, even if our fleet contained hundreds of planes, we would only have one heavy-weight object for each type of aircraft.
As a further efficiency measure, we might use lazy creation of the flyweight objects rather than create the initial map up front as in the above example.

Focus on the Basics:
You are never too old – or young – to focus on the Basics.
Adopting, or improving, healthy habits is about making incremental, repetitive changes that eventually become habits.
In time, those habits become your lifestyle, and it's the lifestyle that adds up to big results.
As anyone who has committed to healthy goals can attest, one of the Basics for success is excusing yourself — without becoming 'the excuse' — when one of life's commitments interferes with your day's objectives.
Part of maintaining consistency in your effort is simply accepting that some days won't go as planned. It is not a reflection of poor commitment, nor is it a license for self-doubt.
Remind yourself that "health" is the journey, and not the destination. It is the path to better living.
Your true purpose in health is to experience the most in Life. It is about truly Living, instead of merely being alive.
Choosing to make better choices for your health is less about adding years to your life, and more about adding life to your years.

The Nature of Adventure
While many CMC students pursue a life of leadership through high finance or a thriving legal practice and perceive outdoor activities as a wonderful escape from the pressures of the corporate world, Michael Graber '74 has turned the tables. His life after graduation broke the CMC mold, and he has pursued recreation and adventure full time.
As one of America's leading alpinists, Graber has pioneered first ascents on four continents, including two in Antarctica. A two-time veteran of Mount Everest, he climbed in 1987 to 28,000 feet (1,000 feet short of the summit) before being turned back by 100-m.p.h. winds and frostbite. Graber is also an accomplished skier, mountain-biker, runner, and wind-surfer.
Graber has shared his adventurous spirit through an accomplished film career. He was the cameraman on the awardwinning specials "Ski to Forbidden Plateau" and "Antarctic Odyssey" (1988), and the prime-time blockbuster miniseries "TransAntarctic Expedition." He filmed the war in Afghanistan for CBS Evening News, and in 1988 he received an Emmy for "The Battle for Afghanistan," an hour-long CBS News Special.
Graber graduated from CMC with a degree in philosophy. As a running back for Stags Football, he received the MVP award as a senior. He is rumored to have scaled the exterior of one of the tower dorms without ropes. Graber returns to his alma mater to share his thoughts about the true nature of adventure and talk about the three remaining wilderness areas to be explored. In addition, you will be thrilled by the beautiful slides that will be part of the presentation.
Koinonia: Diversity and Unity in Earliest Christianity
Building on the research of the past several decades, Luke Timothy Johnson examines some of the ways in which a rediscovery of classical rhetoric and moral instruction has enabled a fresh appreciation for the ways in which the first Christians drew equally from Jerusalem and Athens.
Dr. Johnson is the Robert W. Woodruff Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He specializes in the history and historiography of ancient Christianity. He was for many years a Benedictine monk and priest before becoming a biblical scholar. He taught at Yale Divinity School from 1976 to 1982 and at Indiana University from 1982 until his appointment at Emory in 1992. During his years at Indiana he received three awards for outstanding teaching.
Professor Johnson received his M. Div. from St. Meinrad School of Theology and his Ph.D. from Yale. He is the author of The Writings of the New Testament: An Interpretation (1986); a two volume commentary on Luke-Acts for the Sacra Pagina series; and a number of books and articles for the church, including Sharing Possessions: Mandate and Symbol of Faith (1981) and Faith's Freedom: A Classic Spirituality for Contemporary Christians (1990). His most recent books include the Anchor Bible commentary's Letter of James (1995); The Real Jesus: The Misguided Quest for the Historical Jesus and the Truth of the Traditional Gospels (1996), and Religious Experience in Earliest Christianity: Tagline: A Missing Dimension in New Testament Studies (1998).
Charles Ives's Concord Sonata and Culture Both Popular and Unpopular
The Concord Sonata (1920) of Charles Ives, America's greatest composer, is a musical portrait of some of our most significant literary figures: Emerson, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, and Thoreau. The Concord is a work of startling contrasts that alternates between gentle lyricism and jarring discord, and incorporates material from such diverse sources as Beethoven masterworks, traditional hymns, and Stephen Foster songs. Considered for decades to be unplayable, this remarkable sonata remains one of the most daringly innovative and technically challenging in the entire classical piano repertoire. In his Athenaeum lecture/ recital, David Michael Hertz will illustrate, by means of live piano demonstrations and performance that will accompany and amplify his talk, how Ives realizes his manifold alms in the Concord.
As literary scholar, composer, and pianist, Hertz is uniquely qualified to address his subject. A professor of comparative literature at Indiana University, Hertz is the author of three books: The Tuning of the Word: The Musico-Literary Poetics of the Symbolist Movement (1987), Angels of Reality: Emersonian Unfoldings in Wright, Stevens and Ives (1993); and Frank Lloyd Wright in Word and Form (1995). He is also the composer of China Songs (1995) (a setting of 21 lyrics by poet Willis Barnstone) and The Rose Garden Conspiracy, a musical theater piece (with music and lyrics by Hertz) based on Aristophanes' Lysistrata (410 B.C.). Owing to the variety of his talents and the scope of his erudition, Hertz is frequently engaged to give lecture/ recitals which emphasize the interrelationships of literature, music, architecture, and the other arts.
Professor Hertz's lecture/recital is the premiere of the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies series In Tune with the American Spirit: Innovations in American Music. Each program will explore how the social, political, and intellectual climate of our nation shaped a particular composer's artistic development.
A Concert With Comment
Benice Lipson-Gruzen has been acclaimed by audiences and critics alike as a virtuoso pianist of extraordinary sensitivity and emotional range who creates an exceptional rapport with her audiences. The New York Times has described her performance as "exhilarating" and "memorable," and commented that her performance represented "a well-nigh ideal combination of virtues."
Born in New York and a first-prize winner by the age of thirteen, Ms. Lipson-Guzen has performed in major concert halls in North America, Europe, and Asia, and recently earned a place in music history when she became the first Western artist to record with an orchestra from China, the result of an invitation by the Beijing Central Philharmonic and its principal guest conductor, David Gilbert.
In addition to her degrees and training in music, Lipson-Gruzen has also earned advanced degrees in anthropology and psychology. Her piano teachers include Sascha Gorodnitzky, Andre Singer, and Arminda Canteros, a student of Walter Gieseking. In addition to her performing and recording, Lipson-Gruzen has also recently branched out into television, where she recently made her debut with a program featuring the life and music of Chopin.
Her performance at the Athenaeum will include the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin, and is entitled "Concert with Comment" because of her practice of introducing each musical piece with background information on the composers and the particular piece. This concert is part of the Stotsenberg Chamber Music series, made possible by a generous gift from Ed and Dorothy Stotsenberg.
How the Cold War Was Won and Lost
The current crisis with Saddam Hussein's Iraq highlights the timeliness of William T. Lee's expertise. Russia has again begun to assert its influence in the Gulf region, and the U.S. and its allies must take a fresh look at Russian military power.
Lee is one of a handful of intelligence analysts who have monitored Soviet and Russian military and economic affairs since 1951 when he began work with the Central Intelligence Agency. He has been doing threat analyses and forecasting of both the People's Republic of China and Soviet/Russian strategic forces. Lee's estimates of Soviet defense expenditures are the only Western estimates to be corroborated by Soviet sources. Lee's book Soviet Military Policy Since World War II (1986) was translated into Chinese by the government of the People's Republic of China. His most recent book, The ABM Treaty Charade: A Study in Elite Illusion and Delusion (1997), was published last year.
The Athenaeum and the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies invite you to join us for this informative presentation.
Playwright Reads from His Work
A good play is defined by Edward Albee as one "with something to say and the ability to say it." He believes that "a play should bring its audience some special sense of awareness of the times, alter and shape that awareness in some significant manner." Albee's own plays have been doing just that for the past 40 years.
Long acclaimed by critics as "America's most important dramatist still writing," Albee's award-winning plays are produced in theaters throughout the world. Albee continues to write plays and direct some of his earlier ones. His widely recognized Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) is one of the most frequently performed plays created in recent times by any American dramatist. It was this piece which brought Albee into the international spotlight as one of the greatest playwrights of our time. The play has been translated into many languages and was made into a movie starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
Albee grew up in a famed theatrical family. He started seeing plays at the age of five, and began writing at six. He has written over 25 plays, three of which, A Delicate Balance (1966), Seascape (1974), and Three Tall Women (1991), have won Pulitzer Prizes. In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Albee has received other honors including the Foreign Press Association Award, the Gold Medal in Drama from the Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the Tony Award, and the National Medal of Arts.
Edward Albee's appearance is sponsored by the Athenaeum and the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies. Dinner reservations are for persons affiliated with CMC only. Albee's 6:45 p.m. talk is open to all, no reservations needed.

The laws of Newton's system worked so well up to a point. Curved "space-time" did predict a different orbit for Mercury, but does not account for the one that is seen. Another issue goes unresolved. The reason I favoured the study of number patterns is that numbers do not lie, unlike people. Every time I accept what other's report it leads to disappointment. So I trust the numbers, not the people. link1625 posted:6/5/2011 3:10:00 PM (Reply)GARYBUM BUM BUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! Please log in or become a member to add a post.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Behind two individual event wins and a relay victory, the Miami University women's track and field team capped the Black and Gold Invitational in strong fashion Saturday at Vanderbilt University's track and field complex. Several RedHawks posted personal bests while three also cracked Miami's all-time top-10 lists.
Miami dominated the 3000m run, placing three in the top nine, including sophomore Anna Lamb (Granville, Ohio), who won the race while smashing her personal best in 9:48.48, which ranks her sixth in school history. She won the race by over five seconds while classmates Elisa Frazier (Williamsville, N.Y.) and Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio) were sixth and ninth, respectively. Frazier clocked 10:02.45, an outdoor personal best, while Hoover crossed in 10:04.75, also an outdoor PR.
The RedHawks also won the 4x400m relay as seniors Katie Scannell (Cortland, Ohio) and Diona Graves (Fenton, Mo.), sophomore Charlotte Myers (Bexley, Ohio) and freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) combined to clock 3:44.72, which is the third-best time in school history and is also a meet record. Miami finished eight seconds ahead of Austin Peay, which was the runner-up in a field of 12.
In field action, junior Tori Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) blew away the field in the javelin with a heave of 46.95m/154-0, as she threw over 23 feet further than any other competitor while breaking her own meet record that she set last year. Redshirt junior Ashley Zaper (Whitehouse, Ohio) placed fourth in the high jump, clearing 1.65m/5-5, while junior Erica Mudd (Cincinnati, Ohio) tied for seventh with the same height but in more attempts. Sophomore Adaora Anunike (Galena, Ohio) was 10th in the discus with a toss of 44.09m/144-8.
In the 100m hurdles, senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) took second in 13.69 while Zaper placed seventh in 14.58. In the 400m hurdles, freshman Kathie Wollney (Cary, Ill.) was seventh in 1:03.30 in her first such race.
Graves earned another runner-up in the 100m dash in 11.87 while Allen captured third in the 400m dash in a personal-best 55.63, which ranks her ninth in school history. Scannell was not far behind in sixth in the 400m in a season-best 56.58. Myers was 14th in a field of 30 in the 200m dash in a personal-best 25.43.
In the 1500m run, freshman Laura Bess (Brownsburg, Ind.) finished third in 4:33.33, her first time running the event as a RedHawk. In the 800m run, sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) placed seventh in a personal-best 2:12.85 while running against a field of 49. Two RedHawks were in the top 10 in the 2000m steeplechase as junior Erica Howes (Fairfax, Va.) was eighth in 7:06.86 while sophomore Alex Chitwood (Carmel, Ind.) was right behind in ninth in 7:13.83.
Miami competed against several regional teams at the meet, including Michigan, DePaul, Louisville, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Loyola (Ill.) and Western Kentucky, as well as several schools in Tennessee, including Memphis, Belmont, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee State and Lipscomb, along with the host Commodores.

Miami stays closer to home next weekend, as the RedHawks take part in the Oliver Nikoloff Invitational, hosted by the University of Cincinnati, Friday and Saturday, March 29-30, just an hour down the road from Oxford.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group: The Aidi belongs to the Flock Guard Group.
Weight: An Aidi can weigh 55 lbs (25 kg).
Height: An Aidi stands 21-25 inches (53-63.5 cm) tall.
Color(s): The Aidi's coat can have a variety of colors, with white being quite common. Other coat colors include tawny, black/white, faded red and black.
Coat: The Aidi's coarse, dense coat often has a length of 6 cm. This thick coat offers protection from the elements, whether from the heat or the cold. The coat over its powerful, muscular body is a great defence against attacking jackals or other predators of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. Its nose and lips are black or brown.
Character:As a flock guard, the Aidi is alert, powerful and vigilant. The Aidi with its watchdog abilities protected nomads and herds of sheep and goats from intruders and predators. Note that is breed is not a herd dog that guides the animals. The Aidi has keen trailing and hunting abilities.
Country of Origin: The Aidi are believed to have originated in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco in North Africa, and possibly in the Sahara.
History:In Morocco, the Aidi often protected nomads or semi-nomadic people and their belongings. This flock guard dog defended sheep and goats from jackals and other predators. For hunting, it sometimes partnered with the Sloughi: the Aidi, with its good scenting ability, trailed the prey while the Sloughi chased the prey down.
In Morocco this flock guard dog is known as Aidi or "Chien de l"Atlas" in Morocco, home of the Atlas Mountains. In Algeria, the Aidi is known as the Kabyle Dog.
Temperament:The Aidi is energetic, loyal and affectionate. With its bold bark, pet can be quite fearless while defending against intruders. The Aidi makes a good watchdog.
Training:Firm training for the Aidi is in order.
Activity:The Aidi with its powerful and agile body requires much exercise, preferably in a large space. With respect to its history of defending humans and animals from predators, this breed needs plenty of activity. The Aidi should not suffer from inactivity.
Ownership:With its loyal nature, the Aidi can make an obedient watchdog. The Aidi is affectionate and quite attached to humans. With its high energy and demands for plenty of exercise, this dog is not suitable as a passive household pet. For owners who share a high level of energy and can take on the job of keeping the Aidi fit, this breed can be a strong and faithful companion.
No breeders listed at this time.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help investigate the cause of recurrent inappropriate blood clotting; to help diagnose an antithrombin deficiency
When to Get Tested?
A couple of months after getting a blood clot (thrombotic episode) or when you are not responding as expected to heparin anticoagulation therapy
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Antithrombin is a protein produced by the liver that helps regulate blood clot formation (i.e., a naturally occurring mild blood thinner). Antithrombin testing measures the activity (function) and the amount (quantity) of antithrombin in an individual's blood and is used to evaluate the person for excessive blood clotting.
Normally, when a blood vessel is injured, the body initiates a complex process called hemostasis to form a blood clot and prevent further blood loss. Part of this complex process involves the activation of several proteins called coagulation factors in a series of steps referred to as the coagulation cascade. Antithrombin helps to regulate this process by inhibiting the action of several activated coagulation factors, including thrombin and factors Xa, IXa, and XIa, to slow down the process and prevent excessive or inappropriate clotting (thrombosis).
People with an excessive clotting disorder due to an inherited or acquired antithrombin deficiency are at increased risk of developing blood clots, especially in deep veins such as in the legs (venous thrombosis). Inherited deficiencies are rare, affecting about 1 in 5,000 people. For people who inherit one defective gene and one normal gene (heterozygous), episodes of inappropriate blood clot formation typically start at about 20 to 30 years of age. Very rarely, a person may inherit two defective antithrombin genes, resulting in severe clotting problems soon after birth.
Acquired antithrombin deficiencies may occur at any age. They are associated with a variety of conditions, including liver disease, extensive thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), blood loss, cancer, and nephrotic syndrome – a form of kidney disease.
There are two types of antithrombin deficiency. With type 1, antithrombin functions normally, but the quantity is insufficient. With type 2, there is a sufficient quantity of antithrombin produced, but it is dysfunctional. These types can be differentiated and assessed by testing:
- Antithrombin activity, which evaluates the function of antithrombin.
- Antithrombin antigen, which measures the quantity of antithrombin present.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Typically, no test preparation is needed. Note that testing for antithrombin deficiency is not recommended if a person's condition may affect the antithrombin level (e.g., DIC) and/or after the person has been treated with heparin for a blood clot.

In the midst of an unforgettably historic Kinston High School basketball season, the school's administration hosted a pep rally to remember.
The bleachers in the school's gymnasium were flooded with audible student and community support. The audience was pumped up by cheerleaders, band music and, of course, the stars of the show: the boys and girls basketball teams.
Both are headed to North Carolina High School Athletic Association championship 2A games today, albeit with a new entry in the Kinston High basketball annals. The boys — in the state championship game for the fifth time in seven years — will defend their title. However, the girls are in their first title game appearance.
"It's a history-making event," said Angela Bryant, Kinston High principal. "Our boys and girls have never been here at the same time. This is our girls' first time ever, (and) we really want to celebrate everything about Kinston High School. Our basketball teams are a great way to do that."
After the two teams were introduced one player at a time before a full gym, Bryant led the Vikings in the viral "Harlem Shake" dance routine — the final bang before the teams square off today in Chapel Hill's Dean E. Smith Center.
"It's a dream come true," said guard Monique Lofton, Kinston's leading scorer in her senior year. "It feels so good. My emotions are everywhere right now. I'm not sure if I should be nervous or excited — I don't know."
In their first championship run, the Lady Vikings (26-4) will play Pisgah High Schoolof Canton. After Friday's livened pep rally, head coach Hubert Quinerly said the girls can't change how they've played this season.
"They have to do everything that we normally been doing," he said of how to win today's game. "The nerves will get to them a little bit early, but I think they'll settle down. They're ready."
He said many people have sent emails, text messages and made phone calls to show their support for the team.
"Our community is our backbone," Quinerly said. "They just want it for our ladies. … Our girls have worked extra hard to get to this point."
Lydia Rivers, a sophomore forward, also said her team needs to play smart today and is glad to be part of this year's team.
"Just to make it this far is awesome," she said. "I just thank God for this opportunity and to be able to be in the team."
Brandi Coples, a Kinston High School alumna came out to the mid-afternoon rally to show her support for both teams.
"For the boys, I'm going to be excited," Coples said about a championship victory. "But for the girls, I'm going to be ecstatic because it's their first time making it there."
She said hosting a pep rally is a way to get Kinston fired up for today's games.
A Kinston High cheerleader, Qyteisha O' Neal, said when the teams see how strong the community and school rallied behind them, it can heighten their victory chances.
"(Pep rallies) are a part of our school spirit and getting the school hyped," she said after a floor performance with her team.
The boys' team (27-2) is squaring off in a rematch against last year's contender: the Waxhaw Cuthbertson Cavaliers, a team who handed the Vikings one of their only two losses this season.
"I think their team is the same team coming back," said head coach Perry Tyndall, who is in his first year leading the team. "For the most part, we've got some of the same returners, so I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of differences. They know a lot about us, we know a lot about them.
"I think it's going to come down to execution and some of the simple things."
He was an assistant coach the past eight years and said he was able to coach the team to a championship because of his dynamic players.
"I had guys that came in and were willing to work hard and give everything they had," he said, adding that some guys already knew the hard work it took to get to that level.
"Getting to the state championship is very, very hard," Tyndall said. "For both teams to get there, our community is extremely excited. … It's good for our school, it's good for our students, and it's good for our community."
While supporters exited from the gymnasium where both teams went undefeated this year, it opened up the practice floor to some Vikings who'd be spending their last day in the Kinston gymnasium.
"The whole gym means a lot," said senior guard Josh Dawson, who's played on the varsity for four years. "The fact that I've been here since ninth grade, the fact that I've been getting better and better every year, and the fact I can lead my team to a state championship this year just means a lot."
Dawson, who won state championships with the team in 2010 and 2012, said he'd miss his teammates when he moves on this year, but winning a title two years in a row would be a grand way to exit the team and end his four-year Kinston High basketball career.
Dawson is one of the team's eight seniors.
"They are very important to this year's team," said junior guard Andrew Lopez of key seniors Dawson and forward Denzel Keyes. "We're just gonna have to be able to step up … next year and play their role. We've had the opportunity to have a good team two years in a row."
Tyndall said to win today, the team has to play through adversity.
"I believe in our guys, I believe in our abilities, but with this game, you never know," Tyndall said of today's matchup. "But I believe — and I'm very, very happy to have the team that I have."
