We're Not Going to Need a Bigger Boat
The problem with the Navy and Air Force's belief that they can do it all.
- By Jerry MeyerleJerry Meyerle is a senior research scientist at CNA, a non-profit research center.
After over a decade of large-scale stability operations, the U.S. military is looking for a new vision to guide the future development of the force — one that does not involve many boots on the ground or the risk of numerous casualties. To that end, the Pentagon is preparing to meet emerging threats that demand high-end capabilities and involve fighting from a comfortable distance. At the same time, however, it is discounting threats that require capable ground forces.
The U.S. Navy and Air Force have focused in particular on preparing for "anti-access" challenges — in essence, challenges to America's ability to go where it wants. The goal is for the United States to retain its ability to project power and respond to any contingency, anywhere in the world, while protecting free movement through international waters and airspace.
The military's answer to anti-access threats is the concept of "Air-Sea Battle," laid out by the chiefs of the Navy and Air Force in a recent article in Foreign Policy. Air-Sea Battle calls for integration of naval and air forces to destroy enemy missiles and other high-end capabilities intended to deny freedom of movement to U.S. ships and aircraft. These plans call for over-the-horizon precision strikes with long-range missiles, bombers, and stealth fighters.
Embedded in the concept of Air-Sea Battle is the assumption that, because anti-access threats can be dealt with at a safe distance, there will be no need for ground forces — be they soldiers, Marines, or special operators. If future wars demand any boots on the ground at all, it will not be until after the Navy and Air Force have decimated the enemy's defenses with long-range strikes — or so the theory goes. But that's where Air-Sea Battle goes wrong: It is just as likely that ground forces will be needed to ensure access for air and naval forces as the other way around.
Ever since the Gulf War in 1990, when the U.S. military demonstrated its ability to decimate anything visible from the air in a matter of days or hours, potential adversaries have been developing innovative ways to conceal key weapons and military infrastructure so as to protect them from long-range precision strikes.
States like Iran and North Korea — as well as guerrilla forces like Hezbollah — have adapted by concealing weapons in jungles, forests, mountains, and in populated areas where they cannot be seen from the air. Iran has reportedly buried much of its missile and nuclear infrastructure deep underground, where, even if it can be located, it may be beyond the reach of precision bombs.
Among the many lessons of Israel's botched war against Hezbollah in 2006 was that airpower alone is not sufficient to halt rocket attacks from southern Lebanon. Hezbollah had dispersed its rockets and other high-end weaponry and hidden it in hills, forests, and populated urban areas — blunting the effects of advanced airpower.
Locating Hezbollah's rockets required placing forces on the ground backed by close air support — a task for which the Israeli military was woefully unprepared. Israel had for years focused on strategic airpower and neglected its ground forces. When the time came, it proved unable to locate or defeat Hezbollah's many small units and rocket sites. Even the country's vaunted air force performed poorly when it came to integration with ground forces. The Israeli defense establishment had underestimated its technologically less advanced but resourceful and adaptive adversary — a blunder that cost the country dearly in terms of blood, treasure, and credibility.
Likewise, the leaders of the U.S. Navy and Air Force today underestimate the degree to which the enemy gets a vote. Future adversaries — be they North Korea, China, Iran, Syria, or non-state actors such as Hezbollah — will not leave their weapons out in the open where they can be quickly destroyed from a safe distance. They will hide them in difficult terrain, underground, and in populated areas in an effort to neutralize the effects of precision bombing.
Locating the right targets to strike will be the main challenge of the future. Meeting it will require deploying ground forces to conduct deep reconnaissance, collect intelligence, call in airstrikes, and destroy weapons and military infrastructure that cannot be targeted from the air.
Advances in surveillance technology will no doubt play a role in helping locate hidden weapons sites. Yet much of this capability is limited to what can be seen from above or picked up on the airwaves. Surveillance drones flying through hostile airspace are likely to be shot down. Smaller drones that might fly beneath the radar have shorter ranges and have been employed most successfully by ground forces.
In the face of more advanced anti-access threats, it may be necessary to insert troops covertly from low-signature ships or aircraft. These troops will need to move quickly and quietly, fan out in small formations, leave a light footprint, and sustain themselves logistically — all of which will require high levels of training and technological support.
U.S. troops did something similar in the initial phase of the war in Afghanistan — spreading out across the country in small units, identifying Taliban targets, and calling in airstrikes. These forces also engaged groups of Taliban fighters, resulting in a fair amount of ground combat. Air power played a key role in decimating the Taliban's military capability, but only because it was guided by precise intelligence gathered by troops on the ground.
The U.S. military had little trouble gaining access to Afghanistan because the Taliban did not have the capability to shoot down U.S. aircraft. Clearly, this will not be the case in all future conflicts. As the Air-Sea Battle concept implies, such conflicts are most likely to occur with more technologically advanced adversaries. Still, ground troops will be necessary because remote naval and air assets will be unable to locate and destroy enemy military hardware from afar.
Against adaptive adversaries, land forces will be needed to identify key nodes of enemy firepower and command and control. Once identified, they can be destroyed from the ground or by precision strikes called in by land forces, thereby ensuring access for naval and air forces and, if necessary, larger formations of ground forces.
The idea of fighting from afar with advanced weaponry while keeping U.S. troops out of harm's way will never cease to captivate the imagination of military planners and civilians alike, especially after years of ground combat that have claimed thousands of American lives. Unfortunately, war cannot be fought at a safe distance or in a sanitized manner. Like past wars, future conflicts will require more than a few brave men and women to go out and see the lay of the land.
The U.S. Army and Marine Corps will most likely see deep cuts in the coming years. Both forces expanded as a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and need to be brought back down to size. At the same time, America's ground forces need to be transformed to meet emerging threats, not merely cut across the board to save money for standoff warfare. They will also need to be integrated better with the Navy and Air Force after years of irregular warfare on land.
Achieving this will require new investments in training and education, as well as research and development. Otherwise, the United States could end up like Israel in 2006 — without capable ground troops in a war that can't be won from the air.

Code Quality Review
Manual code inspections for today's systems are no longer cost-effective due to the increasing size and complexity of modern applications. Instead, developers need to quickly and effectively assess the quality of their code using software metrics for testability, maintainability, and clarity. Each of these characteristics are fundamental in the overall assessment of code quality, and the process for determining them requires software quality metrics tools to efficiently measure code quality.
See Which Tools Are Right For You? for help choosing your customised tool suite.
Code Quality Review Tools from LDRA
- LDRA Testbed and TBvision provide a graphical static and dynamic analysis tool for code quality metrics and review
- Dynamic Data Flow Coverage (DDFC) is an optional module that examines exactly which variables were used during run-time execution of the application
- LDRAcover is a code coverage stand-alone tool to help meet structural coverage analysis objectives
LDRA automates code quality review
Our quality review tools analyse the code and report on metrics for testability, maintainability, and clarity. Even beyond these metrics, LDRA helps you identify and visually highlight areas of code which may require refactoring. You can easily configure the parameters of the overall quality model to meet the needs of your organisation or application requirements.

I am considering buying a pilot or a co-pilot to use as a EDC/gym bag. I would like to know if you can fit a pair of running shoes or slippers into the pilot or the co pilot?

I am considering buying a pilot or a co-pilot to use as a EDC/gym bag. I would like to know if you can fit a pair of running shoes or slippers into the pilot or the co pilot?
I just tried it, but it will of course depend on how big the shoes in question are and what size feet you have!
I can fit a pair of men's running shoes (Brooks Beasts, UK size 11) in the main compartment on my Dyneema Pilot. They fit side to side, horizontally in the bag, but they're pretty chunky and although there's room at toe and heel they push out the back of the bag a bit. A less chunky shoe (Beasts are a motion control shoe with a very hefty sole to control pronation) would probably fit better.
I can't even fit one shoe into my Ballistic Co-Pilot.
In general, if you want to carry other stuff with a pair of running shoes I think the Pilot would be a better bet on pure capacity grounds. But again, if you are a very petite lady with size 3 feet (like my grandmother!) you will have a lot more leeway! What is your normal EDC load like?
Lenovo X220 and charger
Water bottle
A5 notebook and pen
PS vita and case
Magazine and /or newspaper
Anker astro external battery pack
Book on occasion
And on days when I go to the gym,
Size 10.5 mizuno kayano
Change of clothes
But I take out the laptop and charger
I was also wondering if shoes could fit in the front left/right compartments of the pilot, but it doesn't sound like it will fit
Last question, for the forest steel pilot, what is the fabric made of for the lining/outside?
The lining of all Pilots is 200d Dyneema. The exterior is 1050d ballistic nylon for Forest.
Your shoes would have to be pretty small to for in the side pockets. A smaller women's shoe size and low profile minimalist shoes might fit. Larger shoes definitely would not. It is only about 1.5-2" thick.
In the main comportment, they should fit one on to of the other. I can try packing a similar load and taking a picture this morning.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
My $0.02 is that you will probably be able to just about squeeze in your gym-day EDC into a ballistic Pilot. Change of clothing in one front pocket (in a packing cube-type thing, I guess), toiletry bag in the other, water bottle in the centre pocket, keys strapped in front pocket, pens in front pocket, everything else in the main pocket. There may be some room to spare, actually. But @itsablur shall soon enlighten us all on this!
Just out of interest, I did try one of my (men's UK size 11) Brooks Beasts (they look quite similar to the Mizuno Kayano mentioned by the OP) in a front pocket of my Pilot. Result: the shoe is too long by a good couple of inches, and also too wide. The front end of the shoe will go in, but even if the back end would fit by length, there's no way the front pocket would ever close.
Life would be a lot simpler in many ways, if humans didn't have such large, awkwardly shaped, complicated feet. :)
I did post a pic of my EDC in my Pilot (Macbook 13", A5 Filofax, small water bottle etc) a while back, but the advanced search ne cooperate pas so I'm unable to post a link to it here. @maggiemee - have you considered one of the small backpacks instead? That might be more suitable for the kind of load you're carrying than a Pilot...
wrong bag for gym I would say. try synapse instead. it can swallow bulky items. the pilot is very flat really.
Is this the post you mentioned (Post #10 in the thread below)?
BTW - to all, in an earlier post, @moriond described a very useful way to search for pictures posted on the TB forums - especially if you remember the poster. In the main forum page, there is an Attachement Gallery section near the bottom of the page. When you go to that section, you can search for pictures by clicking the search text word on the top right of the title bar. When the pictures come up from your search and you find the picture you want (may be several pages to look through), look for the upsidedown triangle at the bottom right of the picture you are looking for. Selecting this will bring up a menu where you can view the post the picture came from. I find this function extremely useful - thanks @moriond!
@maggieme, there is another thread talking about EDC and Gym carry in an Ego (and I tried a Zephyr a well). Perhaps this will be of some help as another option:
Also, perhaps @aquaris85 can provide some comment after using the Ego like this.
Hope this helps
I have a co-pilot and Ego. Basically co-pilot as my main EDC and Ego for gym days.
For me, the deciding factor for a gym bag will be how well a pair of running shoes fit inside. Shoes are unfortunately of a weird shape with some bulk to it. And I don't like to squash my running shoes. Furthermore, I work in an office setting so after I change into my gym attire, my leathers shoes go into the bag, so I definitely will not want to squash those. And the bag still has to have room for my EDC after all the gym stuff goes in.
The co-pilot cannot fit your shoes. But I got this as my EDC because the Ego will be overkill on non-gym days. Plus the water bottle compartment is absolutely genius.
The Ego will fit shoes and then some. In fact you can fit 2 pairs of shoes in it. I basically put my shoes in a shoebag and then the whole shoebag into the Ego. The Ego is tall enough to place the shoebag vertically, leaving space at the sides for your other change of clothes and toiletries. And all these in just the main compartment. The front compartment under the flap will be able to accommodate all your EDC stuff. The largest items in my EDC is my Ipad mini, and another Deuter pouch that holds a whole bottle of Adidas perfume and wet wipes. My 2 cellphones and wallet goes in there as well. You can check out the thread @tpnl pointed out to see the full list. In short, the front compartment of the Ego alone will fit EVERYTHING I fit in the co-pilot, less the water bottle.
I think the next question you need to ask yourself then, will be whether you prefer a backpack or messenger. I only carry my bags cross-body so definitely a messenger for me, thus the co-pilot and Ego.
Here I'm packing my wife's gym shoes, which are women's size 6 New Balance Minimus WX20v3 cross trainers. Other stuff includes water bottle, Anker 12000 mAh battery, 3DCOC with toiletries, a medium sized towel, an an A45 fabric End Pocket Packing Cube with gym clothes (shorts, gym shirt, socks).
Attachment 8039
3DCOC goes in one side pocket.Attachment 8040
Battery and the packing cube go in the back.Attachment 8041
BOTH shoes fit in the other side pocket!Attachment 8042
Here is a top down of the bag fully packed this way. Still room for your other stuff.Attachment 8043
Now here is the same stuff, but with some fairly monsterous men's size 9 Reebok ZigTech shoes (I normally wear size 10, but these fit fine).
Attachment 8038
My shoes are placed sole to sole, and heel to toe straight down in the main compartment. From experience, this provides a more "flat" load on both the back and front of this pocket. If you just go side by side straight down, the toe side is narrower than the heel side which bulges either in or out of the bag.Attachment 8044
Towel on top of shoes, and remaining clothes go into the side pocket.Attachment 8046
Top down for comparison. It's a little fatter, but there is still some room for a few things.Attachment 8045
It's maybe not the best bag for going to the gym, but it could work depending on what you need to pack for the day.
FWIW, I can also fit men's size 10 dress shoes in the main compartment of my Co-Pilot. That's a bit more of a struggle, and I certainly wouldn't be able to get all of the other items you mentioned in there, but it does go to show that the Pilot is appreciably more spacious.
Thanks for all the help. It looks like putting shoes inside the pilot will be a tight fit... I guess I can use a shoe bag when I go to the gym.
( I want a messenger bag for day to day use, so the synapse is out)
If I get the Co-Pilot instead, can the laptop fit inside? the dimensions are 12×8.2×0.5–1.5 in.
I like the black/wasabi co-pilot colour.
Trying hard to decide between the Co-Pilot and the Pilot
btw, the A5 notebook is a paper notebook, not a computer
For my fellow Americano's, A5 is roughly a half sheet of Letter sized paper (more precisely, 5.8 x 8.3 in)

First, check an organization's eligibility status. It's common knowledge that tax deductions can make charitable giving a win-win for donors and recipients. However, a few things have to be taken into consideration before you write a check to any old charity, no matter how deserving you think its cause to be. Not every type of gift is tax-deductible and not every well-meaning organization knows how to put your money to work.
"There are scams, there are great nonprofits, and there's a lot in the middle. There's just some that deserve the money more than other," says Lindsay Nichols, spokeswoman for GuideStar.
The first thing to determine is if, in fact, the charity of your choice is eligible for tax-deductible gifts. This question is especially pertinent because in June 2011 the Internal Revenue Service revoked the nonprofit status of 275,000 organizations. The mass revocation resulted from a 2006 law that requires nonprofits to file with the IRS for three consecutive years, and many smaller organizations without permanent accountants didn't make the cut.
"You may assume you are giving to an organization that has been operating for some time, but they aren't actually a nonprofit and you can't deduct it from your taxes," says Lindsay Nichols, spokeswoman for GuideStar, a nonprofit that promotes transparency in philanthropy. It is important to find out if the philanthropic organization qualifies as a non-profit. One place to check is the Better Business Bureau, or IRS.gov which has information on charities and non-profits.

text: I came to the United States with my mother, after my father petitioned for us. My father was a lawful permanent resident at that time. I knew that I couldn't bring my girlfriend with me. However, after I got my visa, she was very upset at me leaving, and so the night before my family took the plane to the U.S., she and I secretly got married. No one even asked about it when we entered the United States! But now, it's a few months later, and of course I want to be able to petition for her to get a green card. Can I do this?

HoopsHype Japan rumors
B-Corsairs coach Reggie Geary was selected Coach of the Year. He is the league's second ex-NBA player to be picked for the award. Fellow American John Neumann, a high-scoring forward in his days at Ole Miss before turning pro, guided the Rizing Fukuoka to the Final Four in 2007-08 as an expansion team, and became the league's first foreign coach to earn top honors. Japan Times
Former Indiana player Lynn Washington was arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle marijuana into Japan from the United States. The 33-year-old forward with the Osaka Evessa was arrested for allegedly violating Japan's Cannabis Control Law, prompting the bj-league to issue a statement Wednesday saying all its players must comply with drug tests by noon Friday. "We will release everything in full," league commissioner Toshimitsu Kawachi said in a statement on the league's official Website. "We will work hard to restore everyone's trust." Washington Times
Two decades later, Nakase is the first female head coach in Japan's men's pro basketball history. She was named the Saitama Broncos sideline supervisor after Dean Murray was relieved of his coaching duties on Nov. 24. Now she wants to begin taking Japanese lessons in order to become an effective communicator on and off the court. "Eight of the players speak Japanese only, and I don't speak Japanese at all," the 31-year-old admitted during a Foreign Sportswriters Association of Japan meeting on Monday. Despite having a translator available during games, "I instantly want to talk to one of the players immediately, making a switch or something in the game." When she replaced Murray, Nakase, a native of Huntington Beach, California, experienced a night that many first-time parents can relate to. "There wasn't any sleep," Nakase said, describing her life-changing job opportunity. "The first person I called was my dad and I'm like, 'Dad, guess what's happening?' And he was just as shocked as I was. And I'm like, 'What do you think.' His best advice to me was, 'Natalie, just don't be afraid to fail.' " Japan Times
Saitama point guard Darin Satoshi Maki, who played for the now-defunct Apache last season, introduced Nakase to Hill while she was visiting Maki and his wife, a longtime friend, in Tokyo before the 2010-11 season began. Nakase then joined Hill's Apache staff. "As soon as I met Bob, I learned all these different tactics in terms of vocabulary to basketball," she said. "He would use different words that I had never even heard of in practice, and that's when I was like, wow; the NBA is a whole new level that I had no idea of in terms of vocabulary, drills, preparation. And when I saw how much work had to be done in order to achieve at the top level that just intrigued me 100 percent." Japan Times
Nakase has an open mind about returning to the Broncos next season if she's offered a contact extension. But her ultimate goal is to reach the sport's pinnacle: to coach in the NBA. "It doesn't necessarily mean head coach, "she said, "but just being a part of a program in the NBA and reaching a level where it's the highest level in your sport, I think, that is definitely a goal of mine." Japan Times
Terry said Thursday he was preparing to listen to pitches from Chinese teams to play there if the NBA season was canceled, at least partly because his brother already is playing in that part of the world. "I'm very glad,'' Terry said about not being tied to an international team. "I'm not going to lie to you. There was a point when they said the season would be canceled when I started fishing around to see if it was a possibility. "And my brother actually just went to Japan two weeks ago. So that in itself - OK, got some family over there - might be something to look at.'' Dallas Morning News
Or as Abdul-Rauf, who played for the Kyoto Hannaryz the past two seasons told me, "Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of David Stern or 'big business.' I believe there are exploitation issues on both sides. But no worries, the goal of the NBA is to make money so there's too much on the table for them not to have a season, and I think many will agree with that at least." Japan Times
Former NBA center Lance Allred has agreed to contractual terms to play for the Kyoto Hannaryz this season, the bj-league team announced on Monday. The Japan Times first reported on Aug. 5 that Allred would suit up for Kyoto, under new coach Honoo Hamaguchi, this season. Japan Times
Alex Kennedy: Kevin Palmer has signed a one-year deal with the Japanese club Fukuoka Rizing, according to sources. Palmer's deal includes a NBA out. Twitter
Former NBA guard Reggie Geary, known for his feisty defense as a collegiate and pro player, has been named the first coach in Yokohama B-Corsairs history. The bj-league team made the announcement on Wednesday. The B-Corsairs, an expansion team, will play their inaugural season in 2011-12. Yokohama's regular-season opener is Oct. 8 against the two-time defending champion Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix. Japan Times
Will the former All-American scoring sensation from Louisiana State return to Kyoto? "It's hard to say," he said. "You never know what's in the organization's mind." If not Kyoto, will Abdul-Rauf, the No. 3 pick in the 1990 NBA Draft, entertain offers from other bj-league teams, including, possibly, the four new expansion clubs — Shinshu Brave Warriors, Chiba Jets, Yokohama B-Corsairs and Iwate Big Bulls? "Again, you never know what people are thinking," he blurted out. "You would think based on what you bring to the table that would, but I've been in situations where I've done extremely well in a country and you don't even get called back." Japan Times
Still too young to jump straight into the N.B.A., (Jeremy) Tyler went to Japan for a second chance and to hone his raw skills in a league with many former N.B.A. and U.S. college players. After a season under the former N.B.A. coach Bob Hill, during which he also got advice from older teammates, including the former Seattle Supersonics center Robert Swift, Tyler's nascent career, where he could play a role as a rebounder and interior defender, could be turning around. "Being in Japan is amazing, especially in Tokyo," said the 6-foot-11, or 2.11-meter, power forward, just days before the March 11 earthquake forced his league to cancel the season. "Everybody is so positive — my coaches, my teammates. There are so many different things to explore here. I'm really enjoying my time here. Basketball is taking care of itself." New York Times
Along with other American players and coaches, Tyler returned to the United States soon after the earthquake, and he has gone to the Dallas area to continue training with Hill, team officials said. The Tokyo Apache canceled the rest of its season, along with teams from Saitama and Sendai, while teams in other areas continue playing. Several coaches and players said Tyler's experience in Japan, though brief, could raise his stock in the N.B.A. draft. New York Times
Hill, who mentored David Robinson while winning 62 games with the San Antonio Spurs in 1994-95, also coached in New York, Indiana, Seattle and several countries before joining the Apache this season in Japan's basketball league, where teams often play three American players at a time. He said Tyler had simply been too young to jump from his junior year at San Diego High School to a different culture. "How can you send an 18-year-old to Israel by himself? First of all, the Israel league is good. There's no way he was ready, especially if he didn't have an American coach who could bring him along. I mean, they took him out of high school in his junior year. It was a disaster. He didn't do well. He's doing much better here than he did in Israel." New York Times
Johan Petro: Yes, I want to help provide disaster relief and support for Japanese children. A massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake has hit Japan, triggering a deadly tsunami. Japanese media report that the death toll is rising and thousands are missing. It is the worst earthquake to hit Japan in at least a century and has sparked dozens of fires, including in more than 30 buildings in Tokyo and an oil refinery near the city. Save The Children
The deadly earthquake and tsunami in Japan on March 11 sent several former NBA players packing from the country. The ex-NBA players included Richie Frahm, Robert Swift, Charles O'Bannon, Kenny Satterfield, Jerald Honeycutt, Japan native Yuta Tabuse and J.R. Sakuragi (formerly J.R. Henderson). NBA draft prospect Jeremy Tyler has also returned home. About the only ex-NBA player still playing there right now is Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf for Kyoto Hannaryz. Yahoo! Sports
LaMarcus Aldridge watched the devastation and destruction unfold on TV earlier this month as a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami battered Japan. He read about contaminated water and nuclear radiation and widespread human suffering. And the Trail Blazers' big man picked up his phone, called his agent and told him he wanted to do something to help. "I know they are going through a lot over there," Aldridge said. "I had to do something." As a result, Aldridge, as part of a collaborative effort among several NBA players, will donate $1,000 for every point he scores tonight against Oklahoma City to Direct Relief International's Japan Relief and Recovery Fund. Oregonian
Aldridge will join Paul Gasol (Lakers), Marc Gasol (Memphis), Al Horford (Atlanta), JaVale McGee (Washington), Derrick Rose (Chicago) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City) in donating based on their performances in separate games played Friday through Sunday. Players who designated Friday as their relief game raised $77,000. Thirteen other NBA players have pledged to donate a set amount. "We're truly blessed over here," Aldridge said. "We have water and we're not dealing with that type of crisis. I'm just doing my part to try to help because I can and I think any little bit they can get is going to be big for them." Oregonian
Gasol had pledged $1,000 for every point he scored Friday to help the Japanese people affected by the earthquake and tsunami and wanted to score as much as possible. He finished with 26 points in the Lakers' 112-104 victory against the Clippers. "I'm not particularly a fan of that," Jackson said of a player tying his performance to donations. "Point totals shouldn't be criteria." Gasol, however, was pleased with the outcome, especially in light of Magic Johnson's promise to match the amount the Lakers forward would be donating. A little math and that comes out to be $52,000 to the Japan Relief Fund. "It was great. We're creating awareness of how many people are suffering," Gasol said. "Obviously, the natural disaster that Japan suffered is really rough. So I think that all the support that we can create and all the more that we can contribute, the better. This was a good way for me to be involved." Orange County Register

BARATARIA BASIN, La. -- Barataria Basin fisherman are now calling this thick patch of BP oil in Bay Jimmy, 'The Black Sea.'
The fumes are overwhelming and the sludge is toxic to the fragile marshes between Grand Isle and Lower Lafitte, south of New Orleans.
Tuesday, Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries agents discovered dead fish floating in the oil.
The fish were later identified as gulf menhaden, also know as pogey fish along the Louisiana coast.
'If you found dead fish, that's not good at all,' said Lafitte fisherman Lindberg Santini.
Sanitini has fished these waters for the past 39 years. He said seeing the smaller fish die can only mean one thing for his livelihood on the water.
'Nobody really knows how long it's going to last,' said Sanitini. 'I don't think I'll be back fishing no more at my age.'
So far, fish kills related to the oil spill have been few and far between. Local leaders fear this is just the beginning, as thick oil pops up in the marsh.
'The dispersants caused a lot of this oil to sink,' said Jefferson Parish Councilman John Young. 'We're told as the water gets warmer then the oil will rise to the top, and that's why it has that dark black crude look and feel to it.'
Researchers at the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas are now studying the effects of the oil spill on the local fisheries.
Marine Biologist John Hewitt said when the base of the food chain suffers, effects can be felt up the chain as well.
'The species, the populations of redfish and speckled trout are dependent upon those things at the bottom end of the scope for their existence,' said Hewitt.
Hewitt also said it's hard for smaller fish to survive in oil polluted water.
'There is the potential for oil ingestion, particularly in a fish like a gulf menhaden that's a filter feeder,' said Hewitt. 'They swim around with their mouths open, filtering out plankton and such. It wouldn't take much oil to adversely effect an animal like that.'
Fishermen expect to feel effects from the oil spill for years to come.
'They're going to have to get it cleaned up and don't know how long it will take to get it back,' said Sanitini.
Local leaders hope new plans to reduce the amount of oil now flowing into Barataria Bay will lessen the impact on the environment.

MUMBAI: After the over-a-month shoot for the film A Mighty Heart in Pune and this city that was marred by controversies involving their bodyguards, Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie and her partner and actor Brad Pitt left for home on Sunday.
The duo with their three children left by an early morning flight, sources said.
Although the shooting of the movie would continue for some time now, Jolie's scenes had already been canned, the sources added.
Since the couple arrived in Pune on October 5 for the shoot, controversy has followed them, mainly over the conduct of their bodyguards.
The last few days of the shoot in the Mumbai were marred by a run in with the law for Angelina's bodyguards, who were arrested for allegedly manhandling waiting parents at a school where shooting was in progress.
Pitt, who is also the producer of the movie, subsequently apologised for the incident to Police Commissioner A N Roy.
"A Mighty Heart" is based on the life of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl who was killed by militants in Pakistan while pursuing a story on Islamic terrorism four years ago.
Jolie plays the role of Marrianne, wife of Pearl.

broccoli/broccoli rabe
broccoli/broccoli rabe
Do you have any broccoli/broccoli rabe recipes? Is there a reason (besides the bitterness) why I don't see any recipe with these vegetables in it? Thanks for your time.
I eat broccoli raw all the time, it is one of my favorites! I eat it with a raw hummus, or other raw dressing/dip. I don't have time right now, but I will post some recipes a little later. Hope this helps!
Broccoli is better for you raw and there is more nutrition in the stalk. People have a tendancy to overcook broccoli, it should be crunchy not soft and melt in your mouth. I love brocoli, I always have since I was a child. My mom thought it unusual because I loved brocoli and spinach when I was a kid. I use to eat it every day lightly steamed but sometimes I craved it so bad I would just eat the broccoli raw. It doesn't taste bitter to me. I eat it raw all the time now but the broccoli head gets stuck in my teeth. I don't know what dips may taste well with it because I eat it by itself. I don't even need seasoning.
thank you for your inputs, guys. Spiritedmama: I am looking forward to your recipes.
joesc: do you eat raw broccoli rabe?
No, I haven't seen it in the stores but I will look for it. I probably didn't see it because I wasn't looking for it.
I was just going to post a recipe for broccoli slaw!! We eat raw broccoli almost everyday and love it. I'll go post my recipe now!!
I will post my Alfredo Sauce recipe soon. I normally eat it with just courgette (zucchini) noodles and loads of Broccoli Florettes. Sometimes I do add a few of my 'Grilled Steak' strips.
The book 'Living Cuisine' by Renee Underkofler has a recipe called 'Lower East Side Patties'. We call them 'Broccoli Burgers' and they RAWK!
I also love Broccoli covered in my 'Greek Wow Sauce'.
I try to buy the most purple Broccoli I can.
I will try the your greek wow sauce on the broccoli.
Ashira, will try broccoli slaw. Thanks for sharing.
Chris Carlton, do you have to recipe for Broccoli Burgers? thanks for your time.

EPA: Calif failed to spend $455M on water projects
While many of those communities blend or treat their water, drill a new well or provide another alternative source, one in 10 people in the study area rely on untreated groundwater that may exceed the nitrate standards. Most are residents of small, poor agricultural communities.
Scientists have linked high levels of nitrates to "blue baby syndrome," reproductive disorders and cancer. Infants who drink water that exceeds the nitrate standard could become seriously ill and die, according the EPA.
Many of the residents whose water is contaminated pay for their own bottled water for drinking and cooking, in addition to paying for the contaminated water.
Accessing this kind of funding means the difference between having safe drinking water or not in many communities, said Laurel Firestone, co-director of the Community Water Center, a nonprofit advocating for safe drinking water in the Central California.
"Many of the communities we work with have gone a decade or more trying to make their way through the funding bureaucracy to access these funds," she said. They "have lacked access to safe drinking water in their homes and schools. ... Their applications for funding seem to be in a never-ending game of Chutes and Ladders."
Last year, California was the first state to pass the Human Right to Water Act, which established as state policy that every Californian has a human right to safe, clean, affordable and accessible drinking water. The state, Firestone said, has a long way to go to making that a reality.
According to federal regulators, California needs $39 billion in capital improvements through 2026 for water systems to continue providing safe drinking water to the public. That includes both updating old infrastructure and building new infrastructure to deal with water contamination problems.

'Remember Shakti' will perform on February 11 at The Music Academy at the Shakti Foundation's annual fundraiser
This music is definitely for a higher purpose… the purpose of humanity.
It delightfully crosses genres to encompass human values and societal causes. The Shakti Foundation presents its 21st annual fundraiser on February 11 (7.30 p.m.) at The Music Academy. The Foundation has been crusading relentlessly for access — a barrier-free environment for the physically challenged and medicare for the rural underprivileged since its inception in 1991.
The universally-acclaimed music group 'Remember Shakti' comprising jazz exponent John McLaughlin, tabla wizard Zakir Hussain, mandolin maestro U. Shrinivas, popular singer and music director Shankar Mahadevan and kanjeera artiste Selvaganesh will perform on February 11. The concert features world music led by the members of the trendsetting original group 'Shakti' — John and Zakir. 'Remember Shakti' hopes to convey through its music the need for acceptance and integration of the physically challenged into mainstream society.
The concert is a tribute to Shakti Foundation's founder Velan Raghuvir. The proceeds of the concert will go towards purchasing a school bus for the physically and mentally challenged children and hospital equipment for the rural underprivileged.
Donor passes for the performance are available from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Shakti Foundation office, No. 9, Manikeswari Road, Kilpauk.
For details, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 2661 1213 / 99528 29457 / 90036 33457.
John McLaughlin
It gives me enormous pleasure to come back to Chennai after many years with my esteemed colleagues in the Shakti group. It is also an honour to perform for Shakti Foundation. We are delighted and proud to be able to help the Foundation in its noble work. The Shakti Foundation today is a helpline office for over 1300 physically challenged children abandoned by their parents because of their disability. They are housed in 15 special schools in Chennai and the Foundation takes care of their needs by way of wheelchairs, crutches, education stipends, medicines, uniforms, rehabilitation aids and other specific requirements. Apart from this, Shakti Foundation has also been crusading for setting up ramps in public buildings. The Foundation's motto 'To love, To care, To share' is most appropriate, and I urge each one of you to come forward to help realise the founder's vision and take it forward.
Sachin Tendulkar

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Linda M Olson, MS, OTR/L(Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This overview of the development and delivery of rehabilitation services was last updated in 2000.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide the historical, philosophical, legislative, and sociological foundations for the habilitation/rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and a comprehensive overview of the rehabilitation process. The book meets these objectives and makes a significant contribution to the field.
Audience: According to the authors, the book is designed for students enrolled in vocational or independent living rehabilitation programs. It is also beneficial for individuals who are planning to become certified rehabilitation counselors as well as experienced rehabilitation professionals wishing to keep abreast of current issues. The main authors have extensive experience in the area of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities.
Features: This book provides background on the development and delivery of rehabilitation services for individuals with both physical and mental disorders. Information on a broad range of factors impacting these services, as well as the roles and function of the rehabilitation counselor, is presented. Finally, the emerging area of assistive technology and the unique challenges that women with disabilities encounter are covered. The discussion of legislative issues that impact rehabilitation services and use of case vignettes to clarify various aspects of these issues is especially helpful. However, the title is misleading. Although vocational rehabilitation is covered, the majority of the book focuses on general rehabilitation issues. The currency of references is also a concern, especially in the section related to other rehabilitation services. These services have developed significantly over the past 25 years, and the authors should present the most up-to-date information.
Assessment: Although initially I was disappointed to discover that this book focused more on general rehabilitation and less on the vocational rehabilitation process, I found the information incredibly useful. This is an excellent overview of the rehabilitation process as well as the factors that impact the development and delivery of rehabilitation services. Also helpful is that this book considers the rehabilitation not only of individuals with physical disabilities but also of those with mental health disorders. It provides a nice summary of legislative changes that have occurred in the past eight years. Based on the nature of ongoing legislative change, the adoption of the sixth edition of this book is warranted.

Got a great surprise yesterday... My long awaited birth certificate from Baveno for my great-grandmother, Maria Isabella Migliarina. She was born in Baveno in 1873 to Battiste Migliarina and Fiora Ferrario.
I have two questions... In the states, her name was Elisa. Is Elisa a nickname for Isabella?
Secondly, shall I just continue on with the civil in Baveno for more records? How far do they go back?
Also, FYI, I sent US dollars with these requests to Baveno and always get a reply. To Oleggio-Castello I sent an addressed envelop and have received nothing yet...

Trading either Cueto or Latos when they're both under control for next year would be tough for me to swallow.
But at the same time Cueto's value is never going to be higher. If you could pull in a haul for him, it would have to be somethng to consider.

Safe, attractive and holds up in inclement weather
By Ellie Belly from Birdsboro, PA 19508 on 5/16/2015
We babysit our granddaughters a couple of days each week and they love to swing on the Little Tykes swing. It is bright and attracts their attention and they love to swing
Definitely a winner!!
By Lynn from Purcellville,VA on 5/16/2015
Bought this swing for our grandchildren ranging in age from 11 down to 3 and it has been wonderful. They all love it and it has given them something very fun to do while visiting our house. We would highly recommend it. It is very well made. The only down side is that the kids beg for an adult to push them higher and faster than they can do on their own!! Hard work.
Love it
By Blue horse from WA on 5/10/2015
kids love it!
Great swing for children
By Dee from WinterHaven,FL on 5/9/2015
I wanted a tree swing for my grandchildren but I have four. A single swing would not work but they can all swing together with this one and they love it.
Little Tikes Disc Swing

04 Oct My Favorite Fashion Finds
by ATFDC Contributor Dionna Humphrey
I always get a lot of questions about where I shop, who are my favorite retailers, what my fashion secrets are, etc. Whenever I think about this question, I am reminded that all of my favorite fashion resources are online. As curvy fashiontonians, there are not enough resources to go to in D.C. So while I continue to find and patronize stores in the area, I have some online standbys that I always go to. So I thought I would share some of my favorites with you!
I must say a lot of my favorites are NOT based in the US. Having only visited Europe, I can't say how curvy women are viewed, but it's clear that a lot of the creativity and willingness to push fashion boundaries for plus size clothing is coming from Europe. So its not surprising that some of my top favorites happen to be European retailers.
ASOS is one of those favs. I was SO excited to see a feature in this month's Lucky Magazine about plus size fashion (first time!), and even happier that ASOS was on that list. ASOS (a British retailer) is not a new to the fashion business, but their CURVE collection is only a few years new. Ever since I discovered it I've been obsessed. Their clothing is sexy and cutting edge, and a lot of their styles are virtually similar to what they offer in their straight size line. In the past year they also rolled out a couple of new features making the shopping experience in the US even better- the ability to buy in US currency and even quicker FREE shipping! I just purchased this dress as a birthday gift to myself and I cannot wait until it arrives! Things to note: If you are short like me, be aware that their pant lengths are long. I've had to return every pair of pants I've purchased because of the length. The other thing is you should look at not just the number size, but the actual measurements. I have to size down on most ASOS pieces because the measurements are different than US measurements.
Continuing with the British fashion invasion, another one of my favorites is Evans. I've discovered them in the last couple of years and I am loving a lot of what they have to offer. A lot of their clothing is very much on trend, and they've also rolled out a fashion collaboration with fashion designer Clements Ribeiro, which is chic and sexy and so unique- a rare quality in plus size fashion. This past spring I purchased a pair of floral print pants from this collection (a trend which has continued in the fall which I'm uber excited about) and I love them (pic).
They too recently rolled out a US site for customers which saves $ on conversion. Shipping is free with a purchase of $50 or more (new feature!!) which is a great incentive top shop. Things to note: The length- again. I have this problem with a lot of retailers being 5'3, but I've noticed that, unlike some places where I can get away with wearing some pants scrunched at the bottom, the lengths on these pants required major hemming. So if you're short, be prepared to pay additional to have them hemmed. I did have an issue with customer service with my first order which was very frustrating, but from recent experiences its sounds like they are working on it. Finally, their return policy is only 14 days. So you don't have a lot of time to think about it whether you like your item or not.
Making our way back to the US, one of my favorite newer places to shop is a brand called Fashion to Figure. And they just opened up a store in PG Plaza! If I could use two words to describe this retailer it would be affordable and sexy. As if that wasn't enough to entice you, the clothing is also pretty decent quality! They keep up with current trends in their clothing as well as offer a lot of pieces that don't' subscribe to any particular trends but are most definitely fashion forward (I purchased my first back out top from FTF). I purchased this blazer in cream and it has become one of my wardrobe staples. Things to note: They sell out of stuff, and quickly. If you see it online, don't pass it up. You may come back two days later and it's gone. I know, it's happened to me many times. If you can hop on metro to PG Plaza (the store is near the Macys), check the store out because they have more in store than they do online—and often the same style in multiple colors that may not be featured online. One other thing to note regarding the sizing: some items feel like junior plus. Which is not exactly the same size as most curvy fashiontonians may be accustomed to. So before you assume you've gained weight or the cut is off, just be prepared for that.
Last but most certainly not least, one retailer I am constantly drooling over is Jibri. I cannot say enough about this brand!. The designer herself describes Jibri as 'a perfect combination of high fashion chic and urban street sleek' which I couldn't describe it any better myself. The silhouettes, the colors, the bold figure embracing styles—this retailer is EVERYTHING. Her fall 2012 collection Addicted! is my favorite since discovering Jibri, and from this high waist faux leather skirt I think you can see why. Things to note: in addition to the high fashion options Jibri offers, she will also do custom sizing for FREE. For a lot of us that tend to fall in between sizes, this is a big bonus. Also they often have sample sales so be on the look out for those!
I could go on but I'll stop there. I hope I've added a few more places for you to bookmark for future use! For more options, contact me and I'll share a few more of my trade secrets!
