What do you do with dumb debates?
- By Daniel W. Drezner
Daniel W. Drezner is professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University and a senior editor at The National Interest. Prior to Fletcher, he taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Drezner has received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Council on Foreign Relations, and Harvard University. He has previously held positions with Civic Education Project, the RAND Corporation, and the Treasury Department.
Over the weekend Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell wrote a Washington Post op-ed suggesting that for the good of the country and the Democratic Party, Barack Obama should announce he won't seek re-election in 2012. My first response was that this was the dumbest op-ed I'd read in a decade, but upon further reflection… it's just the second-dumbest (I'd forgotten about this one). Even Barack Obama's harshest critics thought this was a foolhardy idea.
Slate's David Weigel doesn't go that far, merely labeling it "the worst column of the year." That said, he points out that regardless of its stupidity, a lot of people are talking about it. This suggests a serious flaw in the idea ecosystem:
A typical Post column may get a few hundred comments, a few hundred recommendations on Facebook. George Will's bitter I-told-you-so about the Chevy Volt, for example, has inspired around 700 "likes" on Facebook. Caddell and Schoen have inspired almost 5,000 "likes" and almost 2,000 comments (and counting), in what has become the paper's most-read piece of the day. Undoubtedly they've inspired some smaller number of TV producers to book "One and Done" segments, even though no one buys the Schoen/Caddell argument that Obama could achieve more by declaring himself a lame duck….
This is the paradox of the opinion industry: If it sounds stupid, it leads. If it's counterintuitive, it's surely because the columnist has found a fresh angle on a mundane problem, and this angle will produce insights. Data is unexciting, especially if it's the same data everyone else has. Discussions of fantasy scenarios that could prove your theories right? Exciting!
This is just as much of a problem in international politics as domestic politics. If there's a crisis somewhere, inevitably someone will suggest the use of force even if it's wildly inappropriate, and someone else will suggest that the United States just withdraw its influence completely and immediately, even if it's wildly impractical. If it's dumb, it goes on Page One! [Um….op-ed pages are in the back of newspapers, and everyone reads them online now anyway–ed. Hey, you get your fact-based arguments away from my imperfect rhyming scheme!] I mean, in talking about how stupid Schoen and Caddell's argument is, I'm calling attention to Schoen and Caddell's argument.
This was less of a problem in the bad old days, when powerful gatekeepers to the opinion industry weeded out the non-mainstream viewpoints. Of course, the best and the brightest of the mainstream had some galactically stupid ideas too. I'm not suggesting we return to that world — it's neither possible nor desirable.
When it comes to policy debates I'm always on the side of John Stuart Mill — the best way to deal with stupid arguments is to counter them with better arguments in the public sphere. That said, there's a serious cost to this philosophy in a world in which the stupid ideas can command the policy agenda. The opportunity cost to the inordinate amount of time that is spent swatting away these ideas is that less time is spent debating policies and ideas that have a real chance of being enacted. Furthermore, sometimes the dumbass idea just goes into hibernation among a few die-hard believers until a propitious moment arises for its zombie revival.
In the end, I think Mill still carries the day. Still, every once in a while, it sure would be nice not to have to waste the energy and the attention on stupid policy ideas.

The October 1999 death of João Cabral de Melo Neto (see Obituaries) overshadowed all other cultural events in Brazil. The most revered of Brazil's post-1945 poets, Cabral created works, notably the Pernambucan folk drama Morte e vida Severina (1955), that received international plaudits. Félix de Athayde published Idéias fixas de João Cabral de Melo Neto,a collection of interviews given by Cabral over the course of his professional life, both as diplomat and as poet. Other notable deaths included distinguished dramatist, folklorist, and antidictatorship cultural hero Alfredo Dias Gomes, author of the drama O pagador de promessas (1961) among many other works that included prose, drama, and soap opera scripts; novelist J.J. Veiga; literary critic Soares Amora; lexicographer and cultural philosopher Antônio Houaiss; and poet Ary Quintella.
In 1998 Rubem Fonseca published a new collection of stories, A confraria dos espadas, in which death and humour meshed quite harmoniously. Ana Miranda's first collection of stories, Noturnos: contos, featured a female narrator viewing her past and future. Women writers and protagonists also figured in two other novels. Adélia Prado's Manuscritos de Felipa presented, in her unique poetical prose, a woman's view of aging in a society that prizes youth and physical beauty. Sônia Coutinho's latest novel, Os seios de Pandora, was a work of detective fiction following the reporter Dora Diamante's investigation into the death of a "liberated" woman.
A collection of poetry by the late Eurico Alves, A poesia de Eurico Alves: imagens da cidade e do sertão, included essays on the poet and his works and was edited by Rita Olivieri-Godet. A new study about the influence of Pedro Nava's grandmother and mother on his poetry was published by Ilma Salgado.
Several new collections of literary and cultural essays placed Brazilian letters within an international context: Literatura e identidade, organized by José Luis Jobim, Psicanálise e colonização, compiled by Luiz André de Sousa, and Literatura e feminismo, organized by Christina Ramalho.
In an O Globo poll of Brazilian writers and intellectuals, the 100 most important works of 20th-century literature in Portuguese were selected. In first place was João Guimarães Rosa's Grande sertão: veredas (1956; The Devil to Pay in the Backlands, 1963), followed by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis's Dom Casmurro (1899; Eng. trans. 1953).

Defendant Great American Broadcasting, Inc. (GAB) purchased all of the shares of plaintiff Supernova Systems, Inc. (Supernova) through a Stock Purchase Agreement in July 2008. GAB agreed to issue Supernova 53,350 shares of GAB in addition to cash and a promissory note. Supernova alleged that GAB violated the registration requirements of the Indiana Uniform Securities Act (IUSA). GAB moved for summary judgment, arguing that the transaction was exempt from the IUSA's registration requirements and that it was therefore entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
IUSA makes it unlawful to sell unregistered securities unless the security or transaction is exempted or it involves a federal covered security. GAB asserts that although it sold Supernova unregistered stock, the sale was lawful because it fell under the IUSA's private placement exemption.
The case turned on a condition that requires the issuer to provide an offering statement and that the securities commissioner not disallow the exemption. The issuer does not have to fulfill this requirement if certain other conditions are met, including all Indiana purchasers qualifying as "accredited investors." Despite the fact that one of Supernova's shareholders did not qualify as an "accredited investor," GAB argued that it reasonably believed that all of Supernova's shareholders were "accredited investors" based on Supernova's representation and warranty in the Stock Purchase Agreement that it was an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Regulation D of the 1933 Securities Act.

Will China's leaders reform? I have no idea
- By Isaac Stone FishIsaac Stone Fish is FP's Asia editor. A Mandarin speaker, he lived in China for seven years before moving to Washington, D.C. His articles have also appeared in the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times, and he has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC, the BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, and PRI, among others.

On Thursday, the Chinese Communist Party announced the seven people who would lead the country for the next five or ten years. Helmed by Chairman Xi Jinping, they're a mysterious bunch — the world knows very little about what they think and how they will act. But still, their ascension is very significant, and whether or not they decide to institute "political reform" (i.e., liberalize the party) will help determine where China goes over the next decade.
As usual, this has caused a dilemma for western newspapers: Extremely important event + extreme surfeit of information = vague headlines.
"China's new leadership team not expected to push drastic reform" and "Don't expect reform from China's new leaders" the Washington Post wrote on Thursday.
The Financial Times seemed slightly more optimistic the Friday headline, "Chinese transition leaves many questions". The subtitle was, "Change of leadership prompts reform speculation."
Granted this vagueness is better than baseless predictions, but it's still worth noting again just how in the dark we are about elite politics in China.
Xi is slightly less than a mystery than his predecessor. Ten years ago Hu Jintao took power amid widespread bafflement about the man or his policies. Articles in respected media outlets in 2002 expressed bafflement at the "faceless apparatchik" set to run the world's most populous country. Hu turned out to be fairly conservative, though that took a few years to be apparent. (In the meantime, there were headlines like that of the New York Times July 2003: "China's Leader Gives No Sign of Changes to Come".)
The most accurate prediction about Hu that I've seen comes from a Nov. 15, 2002 article in The New York Times:
"People think Hu will fulfill their own dreams," said Wu Guoguang, an expert in Chinese politics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. "The liberals see a reformer; the conservatives see a hard-liner. Sooner or later he will have to make some choices, and people will see his real colors. But it may take years for that to happen."
It's a comment worth remembering when guessing about what direction Xi will take China in his early days in office.

Indianapolis - World champion Casey Stoner will take part in the Indianapolis MotoGP later on Sunday despite a fracture and damaging ligaments in his right ankle in a spectacular crash during Saturday qualifying.
The Australian suffered the injury when he was thrown over the handlebars of his Honda at Turn 13 on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway track and was stretchered off to the circuit medical centre.
Honda said that Stoner, who won the race last year, had declared himself fit to ride having qualified in sixth place.
Honda spokesperson Livio Suppo told www.motogp.com that Stoner had taken some painkilling tablets and was wearing a specially constructed boot for his heavily swollen ankle.

Heather Thomas and Heather Locklear
I wonder if either of them knew that numerous young folk possibly many older folk were wanking to their pictures where they showed those memorable Cameltoes?
my friends that I made portraits of.
for real! :P pen and ink portraits...pencil portraits...paintings (although the paintings were like self-portraits, I've never painted a friend before) etc. and then after I went away to boarding school, I came back to find my walls were bare...apparently my parents took it all down to "re-organize"...can't find most of them anymore :(
I'm still a teenager, but I have Lucille Ball
It was forbidden to hang posters in our rooms when we were kids. No idea why. I hung the 1976 King Kong movie poster on the inside door of my closet and my mother threw it out two days later. I think she did room inspections while we were away at school because many things would disappear during the daylight hours of the week while we were away.
Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, a Fear and Loathing poster, Hendrix, Burning Monk,<br />
Johnny Depp, can't remember the rest. My walls were covered.
I wasn't allowed to put any up.
*covering face* New Kids on the Block (and I mean covered) ....hey don't judge me!
The Police, I was infatuated with Stewart Copeland.
the kid from 'cracked' comics, or 'mad' magazine, i forget which, er, probably both, at times. oh, and darth vader.
kings of leon, tyson ritter and jared leto haha
the moffats!...haha😄
Judas Priest. Three Stooges. Doctor Who (Tom Baker). Same crap thirty years later.
Jennifer Beals (Flashdance) and Lisa Hartman (Black).
Ozzy, Ted Nugent (yeah but I liked him back then) Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Billy Squier, and lording above them all was Rush.
Christie Brinkley , Farrah Fawcett, Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas and Samantha Fox
Right now I have 3 Doctor Who posters and one Eminem poster (in dire need of a new one of Em but cannot seem to part with this one)
Alanis Morrisette =/
The Beatles of course! Paul forever!
The Glasgow Rangers, Pele, and various posters from CarToons.
pics of horses, bon jovi, a-ha, gary newman, dragons, fantasy art, status quo, those are the only ones i can remember!!!

My name is Nate and Im a fun and outgoing person. Giving this a shot. I get sick of the bar scene and am looking for someone I genuinely enjoy spending my time with. Im not looking for someone who likes to party all the time. Dont get me wrong, I like to have a good time and unwind, but I dont want a woman who has to go to clubs and get wasted ever weekend. I had plenty of time to do that in college. If I go out its usually to a dive bar where I can play darts or shuffleboard. Im not a needy guy by any means but I do like to spend time with the people I care about. I also really like my alone time when its needed but overall I thoroughly enjoy being around people. I have a sarcastic and sometimes vulgar sense of humor and I love to laugh at the little things. I am from Missouri originally. My family is the most important thing in my life. I cant stand drama and games. I love music. Its almost an obsession of mine and you will rarely see me without my Ipod on me. I listen to almost anything. I like hip hop, country, house/electronic, jam bands, bluegrass, etc. I moved to Denver about 6 years ago. I went to Westminster in Fulton, MO and got my degree in Arts Management. I love fine art and music but its not my career. I grew up around blues music, bluegrass, classic rock, and old country. I love to travel, whether its a 2 hour drive or a long flight. I have never been to Europe but I am dying to go. I love the outdoors and everything it has to offer. I love camping, CrossFit, hiking, snowboarding, skiing, fly fishing...just to name a few. I am very loyal and will give my best friends the shirt off my back. I work to live, not live to work. I care about my career but I dont let it run my life. When I leave the office I dont bring home the stress of work. I do work long hours sometimes and travel a decent amount but not all the time. Outside of work I am a level 1 CrossFit trainer and love helping others achieve their goals and better themselves. Anything else you want to know just ask! Submitted from mobile

2001 Honda CR-V Problems
The front brake rotors can warp and cause a vibration when braking. The rotors will need to be machined or in cases where they are worn to thin, replaced to correct this issue.
A groaning noise from the rear differential heard while going through turns can be caused by differential fluid break down. Servicing the rear differential will generally correct this concern.
Worn door lock tumblers can cause the door lock to be sticky or not work at all. The lock has to be removed and the tumblers need to be replaced for this issue.

Congratulations, Sir! And I'm with everybody else: we voted for you for your quality work here, your service to community. But there is that matter of the photo… I have one clothed (here), so the least you can do is have one otherwise.

no silk jumps on plants
anyone know if there is a reason when i jump sometimes i don't have silk? i know it seems to happen if i'm on a very thin part of a plant that moves a lot but there were also times on the 1st garden that it happened. kinda frustrating when i'm trying to collect pollen and i launch myself all the way to the ground. that's the only part i dislike so far (except for some of those impossible trophies, but i didn't buy it for the trophies).
You can't produce silk when launching from a rock. Are you sure you're only clicking the jump button once?
Also, if you hold the button too long (even if you only press once), you'll jump instead of using silk. Make sure you're only tapping the button instead of holding. Sometimes I jump on accident because of this.
Ok I took a look just to be sure. If I pressed the button only once and held it down, I had silk until I released the button. The problem with this is sometimes the player holds down the button just a tiny bit longer than a tap and it will make you release the silk instead of swinging to collect pollen as intended. Just have to keep practicing I guess.
yeah i played around with it today and that's the case. i found that i was holding it down just a bit too long. if you hold it down though it does show silk but releases it at the end. thanks for the helpful responses.
It was so annoying figuring this out! And whenever I hear the timer counting down I panic and forget. Still having fun though.

Liverpool have fined Javier Mascherano after he admitted a FA charge of improper conduct following last Sunday's red card at Manchester United.
Mascherano has asked for a personal hearing which is expected to take place in London next Friday. But on Friday Anfield boss Rafael Benitez also revealed that Mascherano had been fined by the club - believed to be the maximum two weeks' wages of around £100,000 - with the 23-year-old asking that the money be donated to charity.
Benitez said: "Javier is a fantastic professional and he knows he made a big mistake, he apologised to his team-mates and the supporters and he has now apologised to the referee.
"He accepts he lost control after the sending-off and has said sorry to the referee. I have also talked with him now and told him he would be fined by the club, and he has accepted that and wants the money donated to charity.
"We would like a personal hearing now. This was the first red card of our season and we do not have problems of this kind. We will now await the outcome of the hearing and the lawyers are now working on it."
Mascherano will serve an initial one-match ban in the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
If the charge of improper conduct is upheld, Mascherano looks set to be in line for an additional suspension, probably for two matches, which would see him also miss Premier League games against Arsenal on April 5 and Blackburn eight days later.
An FA statement on Friday read: "Liverpool's Javier Mascherano has admitted a charge of improper conduct and requested a personal hearing.
"The charge relates to his reaction towards referee Steve Bennett after being sent off against Manchester United on Sunday, March 23.
"The case will be heard by a regulatory commission on Thursday, April 3.
"Mascherano is currently serving a one-match suspension for the sending-off."

How to Survive a Plague
There is no shortage of well made films dealing with issues surrounding the AIDS epidemic. We Were Here from 2011 talks about San Francisco in the 80s and 90s. The Frontline film The Age of Aids took a comprehensive look at the history of the disease from beginning to end. Certainly many fictional films have addressed the topic as well.
When How to Survive a Plague came out last year, I almost didn't watch it. I thought I had seen all I needed to see and wouldn't find anything new or surprising in this story. I watched it anyway, and I'm so glad I did. Though it definitely was sad (kleenexes required!) it has notes of hope that other films about AIDS usually don't share.
It opens at the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the US, and it follows the group ACT UP, who organized and protested while struggling to get the US government and pharmaceutical companies to develop and research new medications for the disease. It features a large amount of archival footage as well. The film was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 and also was nominated for and won many other awards.
This story was compelling, affecting, and ultimately a beautiful portrait of a horrible situation.
If you're still not convinced, here's the trailer for the film.

The Karnataka High Court on Thursday granted conditional bail to the former Chief Minister, B.S. Yeddyurappa, in one of the corruption cases related to illegal denotification of land. However, he will be able to walk out of prison only if the High Court grants him bail in the second case as well.
The order on his petition for bail in the second case concerning another instance of illegal denotification of land is likely to be pronounced on Friday.
Bail was granted in the case related to denotification of land in Geddalahalli, coming under Arkavati Layout, and in Devarachikkanahalli and Arakere in favour of persons who are allegedly benami landholders for Mr. Yeddyurappa.
According to the conditions imposed by the High Court, Mr. Yeddyurappa will have to furnish a bond for Rs. 5 lakh and surety for an equal amount, and neither he nor his agents tamper with evidence or threaten witnesses in the case.
In his order, Justice Pinto said: "The antecedents of accused persons, the imminent danger to society in the event of their release, etc., are parameters to be considered for granting bail." He said Mr. Yeddyurappa could not be denied bail in this case in view of these parameters and added that proceedings on documents alone could not result in his conviction as many witnesses needed to be examined, and "it is too early to disentitle the petitioner from bail."
"The ground reality is that notorious criminals get elected to Parliament even remaining inside jail. Such being the situation, the observation of the Special Lokayukta Court that the accused can influence, if released on bail, cannot hold much water," the court observed.

Jaws dropped six years ago when Duane Reade unwrapped its first LOOK Boutique. The concept exemplified what many drug store merchants had only dreamed about — a selection brimming with prestige brands presented in an environment on par with specialty stores.
As part of its quest to be the most loved and shopped beauty destination, Walgreens offers an array of its "owned brands." These chain exclusives fill in gaps in assortments or offer tremendous value, according to Kina Guyton, Walgreens director of beauty owned brands.
Barb Larson has seen myriad changes in her role as division merchandise manager at Walgreens. But what she's most proud of today is how Walgreens has become more connected to shoppers than ever.
Walgreens is taking its Go Big in Beauty mission to the streets — literally. Starting last year, Walgreens began loading up its best beauty products — along with hair, makeup and nail professionals — on a mobile beauty studio that traveled to key markets across the country to herald the arrival of each new issue of Discover Beauty Within.
Walgreens recently reinvented its "SaturDate" program into a larger, more impactful program and rebranded it "Beauty Must-Haves."
Introduced in spring 2014, Discover Beauty Within is an exclusive publication to Walgreens, published through a joint venture between Walgreens and Lebhar-Friedman Inc. The first-of-its-kind beauty and wellness magazine focuses specifically on the mass market beauty customer.
Walgreens' beauty team works diligently to please customers, but Michelle Hobson's job as senior manager of beauty program development is to lead the charge for all training efforts and key strategic beauty programs for the company's most precious assets — its Beauty Advisors.
To be sure, Walgreens started out on its Go Big in Beauty mission before its partnership with Boots began in 2012. But Boots, with its rich portfolio of beauty brands certainly helped 'kick' things up a notch or two.
When GVP/GMM, beauty and personal care Shannon Curtin arrived at Walgreen Co. about five years ago, the beauty department was already regarded as one of the best and most efficient in the mass business. But it was missing one element Curtin and her teamwork diligently to nurture — love.
Share of heart: That's a pretty heady concept savvy marketers and retailers are using these days to describe a whole new level of consumer engagement.

NHL labor talks wrap up with still no progress
NEW YORK Negotiators from the NHL and the players' association made it into the same room to talk this time. They just didn't carry any meaningful progress out of it.
A second straight day with a federal mediator didn't do anything to bring the sides closer to a settlement on Thursday as the lockout dragged on with dwindling hope that the hockey season will be saved.
NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr talked face to face with lead league counsel Bob Batterman, which was a positive development because the sides were kept separate on Wednesday and met only with the mediator. Fehr is expected to talk on Friday with NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly, either in person or by telephone, to discuss how to proceed in their search for a new collective bargaining agreement.
"I'm not sure what the next steps will be," Daly told The Associated Press in an email. "I do expect the mediators to stay involved in terms of monitoring our ongoing negotiations, but at this point there are no further sessions planned. It doesn't appear there was movement by either side on any of the main issues over the last two days."
Daly and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, along with union executive director Donald Fehr didn't participate in Thursday's talks.
The dispute has gotten so big that President Barack Obama was asked about the stalemate during an interview Thursday with WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.
"My message to owners and to players is, `You guys make a lot of money and you make a lot of money on the backs of fans, so do right by your fans. You can figure out how to spread out a bunch of revenue that you're bringing in, but do right by the people who support you,'" Obama said. "And I shouldn't have to be involved in a dispute between really wealthy players and even wealthier owners. They should be able to settle this themselves. And remember who it is that's putting all that money in their pockets."
While the President isn't jumping into the fray, the mediators aren't likely to jump out yet.
"I expect the mediators will continue to be involved," Steve Fehr wrote in an email to the AP. "(I) do not want to characterize the discussion."
Mediators talked to each group separately Wednesday in suburban New Jersey and carried messages back and forth.
The league and union hadn't met since talks fell apart a week ago on the third straight day of negotiations in New York. Mediators rejoined the conversation Wednesday following two failed days last month, but still couldn't achieve a breakthrough.
The latest round of talks was supposed to be held away from reporters and cameras, but the meeting location was quickly revealed Wednesday. Both sides briefly made public statements then in frustrated tones.
When the NHL agreed last week to increase its make-whole offer of deferred payments from $211 million to $300 million, it was part of a proposed package that required the union to agree on three nonnegotiable points. Instead, the players' association accepted the raise in funds, but then made counterproposals on the issues the league stated had no wiggle room.

Field force and facility engineer training.
Further, engineer leaders at all levels are being asked to provide oversight and assistance for the life support of our Soldiers through base camp and life support construction. The mission of quickly establishing and maintaining safe and secure contingency operating locations of all sizes is a task that is dumped into the engineer's lap in our current contingency operation. Facilities engineering skills--to include environmental assessments, master planning, lifecycle costing, and maintenance oversight--are skills that have not been stressed in our professional force. Because of the overwhelming use of and need for these skills as we continue the War on Terrorism, the United States Army Engineer School (USAES) should develop a cell that can ensure the development and maintenance of certain core competencies that our engineer leaders need to meet the challenges of this war.
Core Competencies for the Future
Five core engineer competencies for the required future of COIN operations, based on lessons learned in the War on Terrorism, are--
* Construction project development.
* Contracting and funding.
* Field force engineering.
* Facility engineer planning.
* Executing the total quality management process.
Each of these has unique attributes that must be considered in the implementation of any future training program.
Construction Project Development
Construction project development consists of three primary elements that every engineer needs to be able to perform:
* Project scoping. Our engineers must be able to site-adapt a pre-engineered design, develop limited independent contingency designs, write indigenously understandable construction specifications, and write a clear and concise SOW.
* Project estimation. Our engineers must be able to develop reasonable project schedules using either government or commercial software, do construction plan and specification take-offs in order to develop a BOM, and develop an order-of-magnitude estimate with the application of estimating tools and sources.
* Project package development. Our engineers must be able to compile the SOW, drawings, and specifications; review documents to ensure that they meet required life-safety, regulatory, and code provisions; and gain the applicable endorsements and buy-ins through the staff process.
All of these skills are required on and off the forward operating base (FOB) in order to provide the maneuver commander with an effective way to shape the terrain by developing well-planned and well-executed construction projects.
Contracting and Funding
Contracting and funding requires an understanding of both these separate yet interrelated processes. The contracting process includes--
* Coordination with the applicable contracting agency.
* An understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the contracting officer (KO), the contracting officer's representative (COR), and the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR).
* Bid selection processes and rules.
* Construction contract administration.
The funding process includes--
* An understanding of construction fiscal law and limitations.
* An understanding of contingency funding processes such as the Joint Facilities Utilization Board, Joint Acquisition Review Board, Logistics Civil Augmentation Program, and military construction.
* The development of funding packets.
While easy to describe, this skill set is enormous in its implications on the battlefield. Without it, our engineers can quickly become stymied in their ability to make their project packages achieve the results intended.
Field Force Engineering
Field force engineering (FFE) links engineer components to provide a seamless capability. Its elements center on--
Force protection. Engineers have much to do with developing appropriate force protection elements, including--
** Development and enforcement of antiterrorism and security engineering criteria, including their integration into project design.
** Execution of indirect-fire mitigation and risk analysis.
** Fostering an understanding of the relationship between base-centered force protection and lethal operations.
* Life support. Providing life support takes the form of--
** Facility development and facility program requirement identification.
** Development of, and connections to, necessary systems such as electricity, sanitation, water, and solid waste disposal.
** Critical analysis of programming requirements and regulations on life support.
* Infrastructure. Engineers play a large role in any facility's infrastructure, including--
** Development of base and localized infrastructure systems.
** Coordination with local support structures.
** Maintenance and crisis-resolution planning.
* Life, health, and fire safety. It is critical that engineers understand life, health, and fire safety requirements, including--
** Code compliance, egress, and inspections.
** Prioritization of efforts.
** Building siting and dig permit/safety program development.
** Construction site safety marking and safety plan implementation.
"Protect the force" has been rendered on many a mission-essential task list by unit commanders, but it is critical that we empower engineer leaders with the skills listed above to enable that protection to happen.
Facility Engineer Planning
To execute the long-term engineer fight, our leaders need to be educated in master planning, facility management, and operational planning and have an understanding of economic battlefield effects.
* Master planning involves--
** Long-range facility planning.
** Base alignment (opening and closure).
** Facility requirement identification.
* Facility management/operational planning include--
** Supporting the maneuver commander by planning for pre-positioned BOM.
** Assisting with operations and maintenance takeover.
** Transitioning to Installation Management Authority/ Department of Public Works control of installations.
* Economic battlefield effects include--
** Local Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) efforts.
** Installation effects on the local economy.
** Development of micro-industries and employment as a part of COIN.
Engineers have a key piece in the nonlethal fight and can use these planning skills to provide the combatant commander with much more bang for his buck.
Total Quality Management Processes
Mastery of total quality management processes includes an understanding of--
** Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) systems. QA/QC education must teach leaders to integrate QC into all projects, develop a QA program with planned oversight, and develop corrective action plans in case quality does not meet standards.
** Project tracking and work order system management. Project tracking and work order system management needs leaders who can execute database management, use geographical imaging software, and provide real property management. This last skill set not only ensures that the commander gets what he wants; it ensures that he doesn't get a lemon.
Future Education Leader
The Facility Engineer Group (FEG), the headquarters for facility engineer detachments and teams, is transitioning and preparing to hand over its functions to the 412th and 416th Theater Engineer Commands. Up until now, the skill sets and core competencies listed in the previous paragraphs have resided within the personnel and organization of the FEG. With its loss, some organization is needed to ensure that the education systems of tomorrow integrate these skill sets and core competencies and ensure their development during practical assignments. Ultimately, USAES must be the education leader with an organization such as a Directorate of Field Force and Facility Engineering (see figure above) to apply these skills to practical Army challenges, followed by developmental assignments that enable leaders to refine these skills and gain invaluable experience. I recommend that this directorate include departments of doctrine development, training, and force developments. With this structure, and the integration of training in the above core competencies into our engineer OES and NCOES, this directorate could enable the collection and dissemination of the knowledge engineer leaders will need to win the construction and facility engineer fight for the future.
Hard lessons learned in Afghanistan and Iraq have taught us to change our tactics and remember some lost lessons learned. The COIN fight in Iraq requires that today's engineer leaders equip tomorrow's engineer leaders with the skills to provide world-class military engineering capability to combatant commanders in the contemporary operating environment. These core competencies are even more important as we continue to engage in environments like the Middle East, where political and economic operations are the essential elements that enable us to consolidate military successes and achieve national objectives. Construction, field force, and facility engineering skills are the critical missing link to prevent failure in these kinds of operations in the future. We must act now, while we are meeting success in the breach, to ensure that we are not bogged down by the obstacles our enemies have tried to place around us.
Major Backus has served in a variety of command and staff assignments, commanding the 955th Engineer Company (Pipeline Construction), and serving in the 389th Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Heavy) in Baghdad during the first year of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Zane Parker II, local volunteer and devotional leader, will be hosting a Friends and Family Appreciation Day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at West Point Community Living Center on North Eshman Avenue.
The event is to give friends and family of past and present WPCLC residents an opportunity to fellowship together. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be provided, along with singing.
Parker said he has been visiting and providing ministry and Bible study at WPCLC for 11 years.
"I've met a lot of residents' friends and family over 11 years," Parker said. "In the last three or four years, I've noticed friends and family visit less."
He said the appreciation day is a way to thank families for visiting their loved ones at WPCLC, and encourage them to visit more in the future.
Parker said he comes to WPCLC every Friday and offers a devotional to the residents. When he moved to West Point 11 years ago, he started regularly visiting WPCLC, and one of the residents asked if he would come and do a Bible study.
"We did it that first Friday, and they asked me if I'd start coming back on a regular basis," he said. "Now we do it every Friday."
Parker works as a research lab technician at Mississippi State University, and said his employers allow him to work four 10-hour days so he can have Fridays off to come to WPCLC.

During his confirmation hearing Tuesday, Arne Duncan, Obama's appointee for Education Secretary, disclosed broad ideas but few specific plans for education in America. Much of the hearing before the U.S. Senate focused on elementary and secondary education, though questions related to paying for college did surface. Duncan's primary focuses appear to be on college access and college affordability, moving away from the emphasis on accountability the nation has seen under Margaret Spellings, the current Secretary of Education.
According to coverage by The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed, Duncan's primary goal related to college aid is to guarantee access to student loans for everyone attending college. Taking up one aspect of Spellings' policy, he also expressed an interest in simplifying the FAFSA to make applying for federal student financial aid more enticing for college students. Additionally, Duncan pledged to work towards the goals of increasing Federal Pell Grants and instituting the $4,000 education tax credit that made up a major part of Obama's campaign platform.
Congress may already be taking steps towards some of these goals in drafting the next economic stimulus package. Reports have abounded this week that plans are in the works to increase the maximum available Pell Grant by $500 and to consolidate two existing federal higher education tax options into one $3,000 tax credit for higher education expenses.

Alexis Mattera
When the No Child Left Behind Act went into effect 10 years ago, public schools across the country were tasked with developing assessments for students in certain grades in order to receive federal funding. A decade later, President Obama has waived these requirements for 10 states in exchange for new programs that will benefit both students and educators.
Though public schools in the states of Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma and Tennessee will no longer have to meet the NCLB achievement standards, they will now be required to adhere to three specific reform criteria: standardizing curricula for specific classes, holding individual schools accountable for improving student performance (particularly for minority and disabled students) and establishing a system to evaluate teachers. The plans will vary from state to state based on individual needs – New Jersey, for example, must improve high schools with low graduation rates or face state action while Oklahoma will be monitoring school culture and attendance rates – something both Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan view as vital to future success; less than enthusiastic, however is Republican chairman of the House Committee on Education John Kline, who would have rather continued working within Congress until bipartisan support was achieved.
What do you think of the NCLB waivers? Was change necessary now or do you feel the administration could have taken more time to formulate a decision?

Village panchayat and mandal samakhya buildings to be inaugurated on Ugadi
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) seems to be paying dividends. The district has succeeded in creating assets while implementing the scheme. As many as 39 buildings will be inaugurated on Ugadi in the district.
The officials have constructed buildings for mandal samakhyas and village panchayats in the district even while providing employment to the rural people. The Central government has made a provision to create assets under the programme. Of the total allocations, 40 per cent of the funds can be spent on purchasing materials, while 60 per cent funds have to be spent on wages. The government has sanctioned 43 buildings for mandal samakhyas and same number for village panchayats. However, construction of only 40 mandal samakhyas could be commenced; with regard to village panchayats, 39 were commenced. Of this, 12 mandal samakhyas and 27 village panchayat buildings were completed and ready for occupation, officials say.
Funds sanctioned
The government has sanctioned Rs. 10 lakh for village panchayat buildings and Rs. 25 lakh for mandal samakhya buildings. The mandal samakhya buildings were designed in such a way that they would be useful for DWMA and DRDA field staff meetings also.
Under the MNREGS, the works such as laying of roads, construction of buildings could be taken up. The government included the clause -creation of assets - with a view that employment generation should meet the long term requirements also. Hitherto the providing jobs and creation of assets is being done taking the district as a unit. This year onwards, the village would be taken as a unit. It would help in laying roads, at least donka roads, to the villages, etc.
Under the MNREGS, 2.3 lakh households (or 3.8 lakh labourers) were provided employment in the district last year. 90-lakh man days were created; the registered households got employment for 41 out of 100 days, officials say.

Esophageal Cancer (cont.)
In this Article
Follow-up Care
You'll need regular checkups (such as every 3 to 6 months) after treatment for cancer of the esophagus. Checkups help ensure that any changes in your health are noted and treated if needed. If you have any health problems between checkups, contact your doctor.
Cancer of the esophagus may come back after treatment. Your doctor will check for the return of cancer. It may return in the chest or it may return in another part of the body, such as the liver.
Checkups also help detect health problems that can result from cancer treatment. Checkups may include a physical exam, blood tests, chest x-rays, CT scans, endoscopy, or other tests.
Sources of Support
Learning that you have cancer of the esophagus can change your life and the lives of those close to you. These changes can be hard to handle. It's normal for you, your family, and your friends to need help coping with the feelings that a diagnosis of cancer can bring.
Concerns about treatments and managing side effects, hospital stays, and medical bills are common. You may also worry about caring for your family, keeping your job, or continuing daily activities.

UT Arlington In The News - Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Conference question draws attention
Several television stations and newspapers including the The Dallas Morning News, The Washington Post and the Cleveland Plain Dealer carried an Associated Press report crediting "a person familiar with the decision" with news that The University of Texas at Arlington has accepted an invitation to become a non-football playing member of the Sun Belt Conference in 2013. The person told the AP that UT Arlington's decision to join the Sun Belt still must be approved by the University of Texas Board of Regents.
New dean of libraries noted
Rebecca Bichel, UT Arlington's new dean of libraries, was featured in the Dallas Business Journal's Executive People on the Move section. Rebecca Bichel has served as Florida State University's associate dean for public services since 2005. She joins UT Arlington on July 16.
Faculty honored
The Fort Worth Business Press People section reported that Ya'Ke Smith, a University of Texas at Arlington assistant professor of art and art history whose work was eligible to be nominated for an Academy Award and recognized by numerous film festivals, has been named the Morgan Woodward Distinguished Professor in the College of Liberal Arts. The appointment takes effect Sept. 1. The People section also noted Alusine Jalloh, associate professor of history and director of The Africa Program at UT Arlington, along with Ritu Khanduri, assistant professor of anthropology, have been named Fulbright Scholars.
Downtown defines itself
A KXAS/NBC 5 report on a new advertising campaign to brand Downtown Arlington and promote economic development mentioned this fall's opening of UT Arlington's College Park District and the recent opening of College Park Center. The campaign will include billboards, banners, print ads and social media. It is partially funded by downtown area businesses through a city tax assessment, as well as some hotel tax revenues.

Oh I was gonna return my whole purchase when I bought the Benefiber chewables cause it did not print the 10 ecb's I was like 10 or so cents short. Manager was not happy so he scanned the bottle again to give me the 10 ecb's i was missing and then returned the bottle. but I just want to know if someone can tell me. Will that negate the ecb's since it went back or are they still valid?

Re: Soy Joys. If the boxes have disappeared from your bonus section try the regular vitamin section where they have the energy/snack bars. There were boxes that were opened to permit single purchase of the bars, but right behind them on the shelf were unopened boxes which scan for the sale price. So check elsewhere if they are not in your bonus section!
Another filler with some use -- and I am not talking about tons of TP that just takes up space in your home and which is not free anyway because your initial ECBs that you are rolling over cost you something initially -- are the CVS batteries that are on B1G1 this week.
But, promoting this here as a "double dip" is questionable. For the longest time, cashiers couldn't manually print ECBs, and it made the CVS experience much more pleasant when cashiers were given ability to manually print ECBs for items that didn't print ECBs on the CRT. I'm just say'n...
<-- Puppy is running for the deals
Seek, Score, Move On!
I have gotten very lax, and all I try to do is make sure the total of stuff in my basket is no more than a dollar less than the total of all my ecb's, $$ off q's, and other q's - so that whatever mfc I hand over last will eat some tax, not beep, and not send me into a negative total. It has been helpful that they put the 33c caramels right at the registers, though, for those times when my math skills have failed me, and i need a cheap filler fast. If CVS was really smart, they'd put a basket of rocks with upc codes on them at the registers, priced 10 cents to 89 cents each, because morons like me would buy them as fillers just to get out of the store faster.
I always write down exactly what I am getting and the coupons I am using but I have forgotten at times or written something down and forgot to pick it up
I have had coupons left over and I rarely pay more than $1
You never had that image of me, you just like to pick at me
Baby Austin is finally here! 9/22/11 @ 9:23AM 8lbs 2 oz, 20 in. long & PERFECT!
Baby Skylar is finally here! 4/17/14 @ 1:22PM 8lbs 8oz, 20 in. long & also PERFECT! Austin is so in love with his sister!
I was reading on the other thread about using Spreadsheets. I tried using spreadsheets in the beginning and giving myself contingency deals if the first deal did not work perfectly but now I am to the point that I can throw together a $30 deal fairly quickly on the fly with generally no more then a loss of 1 ECB and less then 15 cent OOP. Just the other day I put that to the test, I accidentally left my wallet at home and only had .51 cents in to my name. When I was using the spreadsheet method I would panic if every thing was not just so. The other day using my wits, $.51 cents and my 3 cards, I came home with twelve 12-packs of coke, 4 Colgate tp, 3 Acnefree sensitive kits, 15 J&J first aid kits, and 1 Honey Nut Cheerios Bonus 2-pack. My net ECB loss was 1 ECB over the 3 cards and I came home with 16 cents still in my pocket.

Chargers fantasy options give only questions
Even without Charles, Kansas City still has a strong running game. But they have just two rushing touchdowns. In their first meeting, the Chargers held the Chiefs to 81 yards rushing—their lowest output of the season. My only concern is that the Chiefs have won three in a row and are playing at home. Arrowhead Stadium has historically been one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL, and the Chargers defense is coming off its most penalized game of the season. Start 'em at your own risk.
The Chiefs are tied for third in the league in least field goals allowed this season with eight. But, that's mostly because opponents are scoring touchdowns against them. They're tied for sixth in most touchdowns allowed this season with 18. However, with the Chargers offense struggling, I think Nick Novak will have his chances. Consider him a safe start.

"The Enlightened Mr. Hume" Scottish philosopher David Hume was one of the key figures in what is called the Enlightenment. Hume said we should take a look at what we really know and how we know it rather than relying on unsubstantiated theories about God, the soul or the origin of morality. In this lecture, excerpts from Hume's writings present his case. Carolyn Sweers earned a master's degree in philosophy from Boston University and for 25 years taught philosophy and history courses at New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois. After retiring in 1994, she taught older adult education programs in the Chicago area and has been teaching for Osher over the past three years.

LVF's short but turbulent history (Northern Ireland)
The short but turbulent history of the Loyalist Volunteer Force mixed bouts of savage blood-letting with bizarre and unpredictable political gestures.
The organisation was created when a faction of the UVF in Portadown rejected the decision of their leaders in Belfast to declare a ceasefire in 1994.
Under the leadership of the local paramilitary warlord Billy Wright, the LVF committed itself to the traditional loyalist belief that the nationalist community could be terrified into demanding an end to IRA violence by a campaign of random murder directed against it.
The UVF leadership was furious at Billy Wright's act of rebellion - but they were wary of his reputation for savage, clinical efficiency as a killer and also of his popularity.
When the UVF tried to order him out of Ulster, thousands of Protestants turned out at a rally called to support him. The seeds were laid for future conflict between the UVF and the LVF.
