Sandusky, who spent decades on the Penn State football staff and was defensive coordinator during two national championship seasons, was convicted in June of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years. He has maintained his innocence and is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence.
Curley, 58, is the athletic director on leave while he serves out the last year of his contract. Schultz, 63, has retired as vice president for business and finance.
In a pair of pretrial motions filed this week regarding their earlier charges, Curley and Schultz both focused on the role played by Cynthia Baldwin, the university's then-chief counsel who accompanied them to their grand jury appearances. They argued charges should be dismissed, or grand jury testimony suppressed, because they believed Baldwin was representing them.
Baldwin's grand jury testimony was a key piece of the evidence used to support the new charges.
"We were stunned, we were flabbergasted that she would testify against our clients," said Curley's lawyer, Caroline Roberto.
Farrell said Baldwin, a former state Supreme Court justice, "has betrayed her clients, her profession and testified falsely."
Baldwin's lawyer Charles De Monaco referred a reporter to a statement issued this summer in which he defended her, saying she "at all times fulfilled her obligations to the university and its agents."
Spanier, 64, of State College, had been university president for 16 years when he was forced out after Sandusky's November 2011 arrest. He remains a faculty member but was placed on paid leave Thursday.

David, I want to thank you for all you do for others through your work with Find A Grave. I have met some of the most wonderful people through this one group. Of course there are as always rotten apples in the barrel. Thank you though for your work. I feel that I have over 200 friends in the Find A Grave group and they are awesome. I have been on my genealogy journey since the 1980's and am trying desperately to leave as much history as I can on Ancestry and Family Tree Maker for my descendants and others to know their heritage. I hope you will not mind my making a copy of your photo for my family files. Of the 200+ that I have asked only 2 people have not been very gracious to me.
Thank you in advance.

Indianapolis charter school held as model of high expectations
INDIANAPOLIS - High expectations, low student-to-teacher ratios and private fundraising to pay for it all are the hallmarks of Charles A. Tindley Accelerated School, an Indianapolis charter school.
State schools chief Tony Bennett cites the school as an example of what good can be done when families have choices, excuses aren't tolerated and improvements are made with aggression.
Public school teachers, though, respond that Tindley shows what could happen at almost any school if the state would provide the additional dollars to keep classes small and the community would commit to giving students the support they need outside the classroom.
Bennett, the Republican state superintendent of public instruction, highlighted Tindley during his first "State of Education" address, which was delivered Monday night but is being televised at 6:30 p.m. today on WNIN-PBS9.
Mentioning principal Marcus Robinson by name, Bennett said the school sets "high expectations for every student, and they're seeing results. It is a school with rigorous standards, a no excuses culture, and a committed leader who holds everyone, including himself, accountable."
Bennett said students should have options beyond the school their address would indicate they should attend.
"We must make sure all families — no matter their address, income, or skin color — have great options for their children," he said. "If we give students like those at Tindley real options, they will choose success and graduate well prepared for a successful future."
But Nate Schnellenberger, the president of the Indiana State Teachers Association, said it is unfair to stack Tindley side-by-side with schools that cannot turn students away.
"Comparing that school to another public school, it's like comparing apples to oranges," he said.
Tindley's enrollment is 99 percent African-American or multiracial, and 63 percent of its students receive free or reduced lunch.
Yet ISTEP scores show that while students in their first year at Tindley tend to perform slightly below the statewide average, by their third year, those students are topping those averages.
Last year 91 percent of the school's eighth graders passed the mathematics portion of the ISTEP. Statewide, just 67 percent of students passed.
But Tindley, a charter which serves about 400 students in grades 6 through 12, takes a much different approach than most public schools.
Instead of the regular 180-day school year, Tindley students attend 196 days of classes. Their days are longer, as well. School begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends no earlier than 4:15 p.m.
Before students are accepted, they and their families must make a set of commitments. Students are set on a track to attend college. Parents are asked to devote no less than 50 volunteer hours at the school over the course of the year.
Parents are also asked to check their students' homework daily, and absences are not tolerated. Those who miss more than 12 days are automatically held back a year.
If a student is suspended for disciplinary problems, parents must attend a meeting with school administrators. The student is not allowed to return to class until that meeting has occurred.
Are those obligations always met? Not quite, Robinson said.
"There's no teeth behind it. We can't actually ask kids to leave because their parents don't fulfill those requirements," he said, adding that approximately one-third of parents do what the schools asks of them.
"I don't know that we get a more committed parent. We struggle, like all public schools struggle," he said.
Still, Tindley receives so many applicants that it ends up turning hundreds away each year. Robinson said this year's sixth grade class of 110 students were selected out of a random lottery of more than 160 applicants.
Therefore, attendance problems don't measure up to those urban districts face.
"Teachers can't control that. We can't control that here in Indianapolis Public Schools, on the first day of school, 25 percent of the students didn't show up," Schnellenberger said.
"Those are things that are out of teachers' control that are frustrating to them. They don't want to hear criticism that a teacher's not doing the job when the kid's not been in the classroom."
Another key difference between Tindley and most public schools is fundraising. In addition to state dollars, Robinson said school officials spend much of their time seeking out donors.
He said the school has received contributions from national education foundations and local corporations, but most fundraising dollars come from individual donors.
"Really the fundraising story is about generous people who care; who say 'You know what, you guys are educating one of the most challenging groups that we have to educate in our state and we support your work,'" he said.
That, he said, enables the school to keep class sizes around a maximum of 20 students per teacher, while also paying star teachers more.
Schnellenberger said the story is much different in public schools that serve low-income areas. In those places, he said, class sizes have soared in the face of state funding reductions.
"In a lot of cases, kids have absentee parents. Those students need more care. They need more help and nurturing from school," he said. "And at a time when class sizes are going up, it becomes more and more difficult for teachers to do that."
Robinson said the refusal to promote students who aren't ready for the next grade, a curriculum that focuses narrowly on reading, writing and mathematics, and a commitment to finding strategies that work for each individual student are other pieces that add up to Tindley's success.
"The key element is we're organic," he said. "We are what the kids need us to be."

CHINA: Brewers' profits chase may be futile - study
By Andy Morton | 6 February 2013
China's market may be too fragmented for strong profits
China's massive beer volumes are set to rise further, but market fragmentation and weak margins may sink SABMiller and Anheuser-Busch InBev's profit hopes in the country indefinitely, an analyst has claimed.
China accounts for 25% of the world's beer consumption, but generates just 3% of the global profit pool, according to a report on the Chinese beer market by Bernstein, released today (6 February). And, despite premiumisation efforts, brewers SABMiller and A-B InBev are unlikely to lift operating profits by more than a couple of percentage points before 2020, Bernstein said.
"China is unlikely to be a major source of profits for A-B InBev and SABMiller for decades... maybe never," the study says.
Bernstein estimates that A-B InBev will grow its China-sourced EBIT from 1% of group EBIT to 3% by 2020 while SABMiller can only raise its percentage of group EBIT in the country from 2% to 3% because of weaker premiumisation moves.
"There is no doubt about the volume growth potential of China; but selling prices and margins are still very low by international standards due to market fragmentation," the study says.
SABMiller holds a 49% stake in China's biggest brewer, China Resources Snow. A-B InBev is the country's third largest player behind Tsingtao.
The report also says that China's regional sectors are mostly three-tier "slugfests", with three brewers fighting for dominance as companies seek to expand beyond their strongholds. These battles have led to a "very competitive environment" that looks set to continue, the report adds.
Volumes outlook remains strong, and Bernstein said annual per capita consumption could rise from the current 33 litres to above 50 litres by 2020. US annual consumption is about 70 litres.
Yesterday, SABMiller's Chinese JV agreed to buy Guandong-based Kingway Brewery Holdings for US$864m.

Best Audio Book?
View Single Post

Disrespectful of his betters
Location: OmahaStar
Re: Best Audio Book?
In a recent sale, I picked up a two-disc Companion Chronicle called "Peri and the Piscon Paradox." It's one of the rare CCs that has an actual Doctor providing the second character's voice.
This is a two-disc set, starting with a very early Peri and Fifth Doctor, and also stars Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor.
It starts out light and fluffy and just plain funny, then takes a turn. Nicola Bryant shows more range with Peri in this story than she showed through all of her on-screen appearances combined.
And for good measure, we also find out the answer to a question that has been hanging out there since Trial of a Time-Lord aired. I finished listening to it last night, and am still thinking about it.
There ... Praising it without spoiling it. The less you know going in, the more impact it has.
"Sorry. Wrong movie, buddy."

Originally written on The Detroit Sports Site | Last updated 3/25/13
The Michigan Wolverines and Kansas Jayhawks will meet in the Sweet 16 next Friday night, with the game's start time now set for 7:37 p.m. ET on TBS. Michigan State and Duke will play that same night in the late window — that game will begin at 9:45 p.m. on CBS. That Michigan-Kansas showdown will be the first of two games Friday night at Cowboys Stadium. The in-state matchup between No. 3 seed Flodia and No. 15 seed Florida Gulf Coast will follow. The winner of that game will play the winner of Michigan-Kansas in an Easter Sunday regional final. Michigan State-Duke, meanwhile, will be the second Friday game in Indianapolis. The 9:45 start time is an estimate, as the game will begin approximately 25 minutes after No. 1 Louisville and No. 12 Oregon play in the opener. The regional final there also will take place Sunday.

A home of their own
Henrico mother, son move into renovated house
On the sweltering afternoon of July 7, Lachesia Turner and her son went home – for the first time.
During a dedication ceremony on Reynolds Road in Eastern Henrico, Turner and her son, Corion, celebrated the completion of their new home – the third built locally as part of the Alternative Energy Rehabilitation Project.
The project was set forth by Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity (RMHFH), in partnership with Dominion and the Dominion Foundation, in an effort to restore and revamp homes to increase their environmental sustainability.
Previously, the Turners were living in an unsafe area; they frequently heard gunshots, and one day Corion found a gun in the bushes outside their apartment. In an attempt to improve both their lives, Lachesia Turner submitted an application through Habitat for Humanity for the Alternative Energy Rehabilitation Project.
Upon being selected to receive a new home, Turner had to commit to completing 350 hours of sweat equity. At the end of the seven-month building period, Turner had clocked more than 359 hours. "She truly embodies the willingness to partner," said Lynda Barone, RMHFH Director of Family Services.
The project required a tremendous amount of time and effort. It began in December and was made possible thanks to more than 200 Dominion volunteers. A $70,000 grant and additional Habitat for Humanity funds were used to rehabilitate the home and ensure its environmental sustainability.
While the house may resemble an average suburban residence, it is actually anything but ordinary. It is equipped with solar hot water and radiant heat, which heats the home using special tubing and heated water below the wooden floors.
This process alone will save the Turners approximately 50 percent on energy bills. Low flush toilets have also been installed; according to the Federal Energy Management Program, upgrading to one of these water-conserving toilets can reduce the average person's water use from 27,300 gallons to 12,500 gallons.
This home has also been insulated with increased R-value insulation. An R-value is the measurement of thermal resistance used in the construction industry: the higher the R-value, the more effective the building's insulation. Better insulation translates to drastically reduced heating and cooling costs.
The laminate floors are environmentally friendly due to their durability and the fact that they have low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – harmful and unstable compounds that are released into the air over time. The paints used on the house also have low VOC emission levels, which will minimize these environmental toxins.
"Environmentally compatible processes like these are important because they set a good example for other home owners," said Mary Doswell, Dominion's Alternative Energy Solutions senior vice president.
When asked how Habitat for Humanity and Dominion got started with the Alternative Energy Rehabilitation Project, Doswell's reasoning was very straightforward: "We love to do things in the community that will bring about long lasting, important results."
A brand new, environmentally sustainable home certainly qualifies as "long lasting" and "important" to the Turner family.
"This is the best day ever," said Lachesia. "It's a huge change – like moving from someplace good to someplace better."

If there is anything I have truly learned in the past few years, it's that you never know where life will take you. Just go with it!
I'm a happy person - a really happy person. I have a lot to be thankful for, and I don't take the small things for granted. I'm looking for someone who also enjoys life and doesn't dwell on the negative. I like to keep balance in my life. I enjoy a healthy lifestyle balanced with occasional nights out. I work hard, but I like to relax and enjoy myself once I'm home. I just moved back to New York after teaching middle school math in a suburb of Chicago for the past few years. I'm spending this year working on my M.A.Ed. at Columbia University full time. The summer and start of the school year were hectic with classes and getting settled in. I'm now ready to start dating, and I'm looking for someone with similar interests who can be flexible with my sometimes crazy schedule.

I got a juicer for my birthday, so I just read a book on the benefits of juicing fresh veggies and fruit. The last fiction book I read and really enjoyed was 50 Shades of Grey. Just kidding. I'm reading a Jonathan Franzen book at the moment.

Divali Nagar
Divali Nagar (City of Lights) is an annual exposition of Hindu culture (broadly) and Indo-Trinidadian culture (specifically), it is associated with the celebration of Diwali in Trinidad and Tobago. The exposition is staged at the Divali Nagar Site, located in the borough of Chaguanas. This event was started in the Mid Centre Mall car park in late 1986. It was given a permanent site on the John Peters Road Extension off the Uriah Butler Highway a couple of years after.
Although organised as a religious and cultural presentation, Divali Nagar has been criticised by some for the level of commercialization associated with the endeavour. Commercial activity, however partly funds the Nagar which really consumes a lot of resources.Emphasis has to be placed on the several cultural and religious parts of the programme every year and the enormous positive impact it has had in Trinidad and the Caribbean as well as the diaspora living abroad.Diwali Nagar is the most significant Indian cultural event of the T&T and possibly in the wider Caribbean and North America. It has set a trend in that now Miami and other places have Diwali Nagars of their own. The festivities usually start one week prior to the annual Divali day holiday and finishes the night before Divali. The Nagar culminates with extensive fireworks show on the final night. Diwali Nagar was born out of a concept enunciated by Hans Hanoomansingh, then President of the National Council of Indian Culture and was organized by a team of dedicated individuals, led by Rampersad Parasram,first chairman of Diwali Nagar.Mr Deokinanan Sharma, current president of NCIC, was chairman for many years At the commencement of Divali Nagar 2011,that marked its twenty-first anniversary, pioneers of Diwali nagar were honoured.
The Divali Nagar site is utilised during the year for educational seminars, Indian Arrival Day festivities, charitable events, religious festivities and wedding receptions. The site is also used for trade exhibitors from India selling religious and cultural merchandise.

Betts, champion of the rights of people with disability and guiding force for over three decades at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. This article by Dr. Betts about the Chagall tapestry at RIC speaks volumes about his deep understanding of and compassion for all those who came under his care.
Boeing's Vicki Curtis Honored at UAIA 2014
Among the many highlights at Universal Access in Airports 2014, held in Chicago on Oct. 6-8, was the presentation of ODO's Disability Access Professionals Award to Vicki A. Curtis, a true pioneer in universal design. Much of her long career as a Boeing engineer has been devoted to redesigning their aircraft cabins to meet the needs of all users, regardless of age or ability. Learn more about Vicki's work.
UAIA 2014 was a huge success with over 100 industry leaders in attendance. This unique event, held biennially, has become the "go to" place for airlines, airports and vendors to come together and share ideas with the potential to affect tens of thousands of travelers with disabilities every day. A representative sample of these travelers took part in the always popular consumer roundtable which this year covered not only hearing, vision and mobility, but also nut allergies and the need for adult changing places.
Special thanks to United Airlines, presenting sponsor of UAIA 2014, who also hosted the 2014 ODO Airline Symposium on Oct. 6 at their headquarters in Chicago's Willis Tower. Kudos as well to our many sponsors–check them out in the UAIA 2014 Program–and to IBM who brought their new fully accessible check-in kiosk for delegates to try out.
2014 CRO Refresh Webinar

New ODO Market Study
Open Doors Organization has selected Mandala Research to carry out its 2015 nationwide survey of adult travelers with disabilities. The study is a follow-up to the pioneering studies carried out by Harris Interactive for ODO in 2002 and 2005. To ensure comparability to earlier surveys, Harris Interactive/Nielsen will be conducting the actual fieldwork. The 2015 study will again explore the travel patterns and expenditures of this important segment of the U.S. market, as well as the barriers these travelers still face. Initial results will be released in March 2015 at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Paris, France.

ODO Disability Awareness Course Offered by Airports Council International
ODO's first training module developed for Airports Council International (ACI) is now open for registration at the ACI Online Learning Center. Entitled "Passengers with Disabilities and Reduced Mobility Awareness Training," the course will provide participants with an awareness of, and appropriate responses to, customers with physical, sensory, mental, and hidden disabilities, as well as those using service animals.
Disability and Reduced Mobility Awareness Training is mandated for airline and airport frontline staff not only in the US under the Air Carrier Access Act but also in Canada under the Canada Transportation Act and in Europe under EC 1107.
The self-paced eLearning module takes approximately 2 hours to complete and costs $95 per enrollment.
Featured Project
ADA Motorcoach Training
In January 2012 Open Doors Organization (ODO), in cooperation with the United Motorcoach Association (UMA), launched a new training program for intercity and charter/tour bus operators. The program is designed to help companies meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements and also provide the best possible service to their clients with disabilities including older travelers.
The lively, full-day training is conducted by two trainers, one a disability expert from ODO, the other a UMA board member and motorcoach operator. The morning session, which covers ADA basics, disability awareness and service on the coach, is for all personnel including drivers. The afternoon session, which addresses company policies and procedures, is for management
and sales staff.
The training is being marketed to state bus associations as well as to individual companies and groups of companies. For details and pricing, email

344. Macedonia and its Hurdles on the Road to the European UnionJul 07, 2011
January 2008 - The integration of Macedonia into the European Union and NATO becomes a more complex issue every day. The reasons behind this complexity can be found both within Macedonia and outside its borders. However, at this moment the chief issue seems to be the fact that EU member states—vigilantly protecting their own interests first—tend to disagree on many issues related to Macedonia's readiness to accede to the EU. This has significantly slowed down the process of reaching an agreement on Macedonia's swift integration into the European Union. more
280. The European Union, the Balkans and Turkey: Can "Soft Power" Bring Stability and DemocracyJul 07, 2011
October 2003 - The European Union (EU) is widely recognized as the international actor with the most potential influence in promoting ethnic reconciliation, shoring up democracy and supporting the economic revitalization of the Balkans. The EU's influence is immediate—providing humanitarian aid, economic assistance, market access and political support. It is also long-term—shaping the tenor of domestic politics by offering the prospect of EU membership. The prospect of EU membership may be more diffuse, but it is ultimately more powerful. It provides substantial and consistent incentives for political moderation and reform on the part of elites in the Balkans and also in Turkey. The World Bank's 2001 report noted that its strategy for the region is "built upon the assumption that a credible commitment to integration with European and global structures, especially the European Union, is a critical ingredient of success, as it will serve as an external driver of reform and intra-regional integration." more
306. The End of PostcommunismJul 07, 2011
September 2004 - On May 1, 2004, ten countries joined the European Union (EU). On the day of the accession, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary all had Central-Left governments in power. One day later, Leszek Miller, the Polish premier was forced to resign. In June, Czech social democrat Prime Minister, Vladimir Spidla followed suit, and in August, the head of the Center-Left government of Hungary, Peter Medgyessy, was also forced to resign. "Too weak," "lacks energy," "cannot communicate effectively"—these were some of the accusations lodged against them. In spite of the fact that all three leaders where very popular at the beginning of their terms, it appeared that the initial success of their materialist-redistributive politics faded quickly. None of these countries was in bad shape economically—on the contrary, they were experiencing economic booms—yet political observers sensed that there was a crisis in the leadership. This situation had clear ties to EU accession. A national consensus supported the European accession almost everywhere: EU membership seemed logical and would clearly serve the common good. So, once the long-held goal of EU accession was achieved, why did these governments collapse? Was it just coincidence that all three were replaced by much younger prime ministers with very different outlooks from their predecessors? The answers to these questions are directly related to the fact that EU enlargement has brought the region to a new stage in its development, and one in which the former communists need to redefine their political roles. Indeed, this stage could be interpreted as the end of postcommunism. more

326. Europe as Empire: The Nature of the Enlarged European UnionJul 07, 2011
September 2005 - For the last decade, I have tried to understand the evolving nature of European integration and the process of EU enlargement. These two themes led me to the topic of empires. An empire is for me a complex paradigm describing the nature of the emerging European polity. My paradigm is empirically grounded, and it relates to the situation of today. I do not intend to suggest any historical analogy by using the term neo-medieval. There was hardly any democracy or market economy in the Middle Ages. There was at the time a Holy Roman Empire, but students of the Middle Ages argue that it was neither Roman, nor holy, nor even an empire. more
221. The Southeastern Enlargement of the European Union: What is at Stake for Croatia and SloveniaJul 07, 2011
December 2000- When Croatia and Slovenia declared independence from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991, they surpassed all other Yugoslav republics in their readiness to enter European institutions, due to their Hapsburg legacies, geographical locations and advanced civic and entrepreneurial traditions. Leaders of the independence movements of both countries made euphoric proclamations of their "return to Europe" after being held "captive" in Balkan federations. more
342. Greece, the Western Balkans and the European UnionJul 07, 2011
November 2007 - The Wilson Center's East European Studies program, in cooperation with the American College of Thessaloniki, the University division of Anatolia College, held a workshop November 30-December 1, 2007, which aimed at trouble-shooting the complex process of European integration of the Western Balkans. This meeting was sponsored by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Discussions built upon the dual premise that EU accession holds the best hope for overcoming stagnation in the Western Balkans and that the traditional enlargement process is not working in the region. The US, the EU and neighboring countries, such as Greece, certainly have much to contribute in reinvigorating this process, and coordinating their policies seems to be of paramount importance. more
276. EU Enlargement: Implications for US Trade and International Financial PoliciesJul 07, 2011
EU Enlargement, now scheduled to take place in May 2004, will involve the addition of ten states: Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. I will highlight the potential benefits of enlargement as well as the possible areas of contention between the EU and US stemming from the enlargement process. more
299. New Technologies of Border Control in an Enlarged EuropeJul 07, 2011
June 2004 - The European Union (EU) has been taking international cooperation on migration and border controls into sensitive areas of state sovereignty, government surveillance and data collection and exchange. In response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, EU member states not only passed antiterrorism legislation and committed to joining the US in Afghanistan, but they also tightened borders and accelerated border control information technology programs with the goal of creating a common transatlantic security space. At the same time, the EU and its member states increased budgets, staffing and improved technology for border controls in anticipation of enlargement and the prospect of lifting internal borders with the new member states while moving the common external border eastward. In light of these simultaneous border shifts, the European Commission is endeavoring to bring the new member states into the evolving transatlantic security space. more

The Siege of AR 558
Now over the period of the war, during most engagements, battles or campaigns it was fleet to fleet and ship to ship. But in all logic there would have had to have been battles fought on the ground by foot soldiers such as the marines even though it seems that we only know of one major ground battle.
It is this battle I wish to unravel because within it are inconsistencies with military protocols. However modern the battle or war certain things must still happen.
So, Starfleet has found and captured a Dominion listening/ communication post and are now trying to break the code to get into it. The first thing that comes to mind is why doesnt the Dominion simply destroy it from space or use a self-destruct protocol?
If the capture of said outpost could allow Starfleet to break their communication channels, I would think getting rid of it would be their priority. And if destroying it for whatever reason was not possible, wouldnt such an advanced power such as the Dominion forces just simply change their communication channels therefore rendering that outpost useless?
The other inconsistencies that I noticed were that when Starfleet goes to war would their ground troops use stun or kill settings? If you look at most of Starfleets training it is to do no harm but that ideal doesnt work during war...
The other thing that comes to mind is that if this outpost is so important would you not think that Starfleet would put priority troop movement to it and not leave just forty three troops to hold it? If they lose it they would never get another chance to get another one if it was that important. The lack of support to me makes no sense. So it leads me to believe something else might have been at the core of the decision to hold it. Could it have been Starfleets need to show the Dominion they would fight no matter the cost? If this was the reason then that strategy was so 20th century (sorry for the cliché) but just losing people for that reason would then make the very principles they are fighting for mean nothing.
Starfleet holds itself to a very high standard. They have moved beyond being petty, but at the Siege those high standards went to the wayside. Quark made a very good point when he said Take all of the humans comforts away and they revert back to the most vicious beasts.
I would have believed that to serve on a starship/Starfleet the training and selection process would have made todays Special Forces training look like a five star hotel stay so why did the Starfleet troops fall apart?
Ground troops in modern warfare work very closely with air support, and yet these ground troops had none. Neither did the JemHadar which made no sense. No starship in orbit, nothing. I will admit I am no military strategist but to me it just cant work.
The last two things: one, why were Starfleet crewmen deployed as ground troops when they would have been vital for manning starships and two, why were the Starfleet Marines not deployed? It was their area of expertise to fight planet based conflicts and I find that with whichever force was deployed where was the combat armour? The armour might have stopped only one phaser round but that in turn would give that soldier a second chance. And with the lack of combat armour where were the heavy weapons? The shoulder grenade launchers? The phase canons? Even some sort of tank?
Now I understand that this battle was fictitious and made for dramatic TV but I believe the producers were trying to make a meaningful episode on the trauma of war on people. But if you are going to do an episode like AR-558 you must get it right and fighting a war in the 24th century would not have been fought like this.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
Your question about the style of fighting deserves some attention, but I don't think there is one clear answer. The Dominion's personnel claoking technology, "shrouding," would allow more opportunities for man-to-man combat. The Dominion might see this a distinct advantage of their troops over Starfleet and others, and it would reduce the usefulness of energy weapons in close combat situations.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
Specialized assault troops (Marines if you will) would be be limited in number, so they would spread thin by the conflict with the Dominion.
The above comments are the personal opinion of the poster and do not necessarily reflect the views of any sane or rational person.
|April 10 2015, 10:29 PM
Re: The Siege of AR 558
But the bigger issue is this:
The Defiant makes short work of small Dominion ships that try to reinforce the competing team. Did they know what was at stake, either? It might have come as a rude surprise to them that the Jem'Hadar who were supposed to be in control of the comm node were in fact huddling nine kilometers away, while the node was swarming with Feds!
Kellin is doing his damnedest not to get noticed when he tries to crack the node. Supposedly, he's succeeding.
Yet the AR-558 force has other concerns besides pure tactical. They seem to be short on everything, possibly including power. So their phaser settings might be dictated by power concerns: no widebeam when there's only enough oomph for individual kill blasts...
If so, though, the troopers probably wouldn't have been so blase about "waiting for rotation" - they would speak of "waiting for rescue". And Sisko would not be sent to bring supplies, but to recover survivors.
The likelier reason is as below:
Another futuristic touch would be putting a Colonel, that is, Captain, in charge of just 150 men. But those do amount to a battalion in terms of absolute firepower: each man is an entire rifle platoon all by himself.
As for tanks, those make little sense unless they fly. Why settle for anything less? But nothing flew above that planetoid. Quite possibly such assets would have been exhausted early on in the fight.
This episode turns austerity to a virtue: Quark's little speech already describes how humans fight well when deprived of everything. Well, these troops are.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
I know it's supposed to be futuristic, but it just seemed almost backward, when you look at it.
Semi automatic fire would saved them a lot of casualties. The way the Jem Hadar charged into the cavern was crazy too.
It all resembled 19th century combat. A step back into the past.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
(A World War Two M1 Garand is a semi automatic rifle by the way)
Are you thinking of burst fire or fully automatic fire? Type were more than one round comes out with you full the trigger?
Suppression fire style combat? That only works if the enemy is going to take cover, the Jem'Hadar are not going to do that for you. Also if you have ammo to spare. One shot at a time is to conserve ammo and make each shot count. Aim the damn phaser rather than spray and pray. If spread/wide angle fire in not viable that is.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
He realizes that a few Jem Hadar were cloaked and standing in front of him, so he rapid fired and hit all of them almost at once.
With Siege of Ar-558, I have to watch that scene again, but it looked like the Jem Hadar charged inside the cavern to attack them.
Now, that's their way, but it looked really impractical. Having a rapid burst or spray pattern firing would seem to me to be a good way to put down a lot of them before it got ugly.
In the end the Jem hadar eventually over ran them and it looked like because Sisko and crew couldn't keep up with the firing.
And no sniper positions?

Re: The Siege of AR 558
The way it is presented other phaser options would either drain their weapons too quickly verses the number of enemy, or would be ineffective againste their enemy. It is entirely possible that wide phaser patterns would do nothing to a Jem'Hadar. And rapid bursts might not be possible considering their limited resources.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
But I think the problem is Star Trek (technologically) was way too clean. It has never been "messy" -- In the beginning it wanted to impress us with its state of advanced technology, when all the encounters were relatively simple.
A single clean phaser beam that can stun you at a distance is cool. But mainly for away team missions when the biggest threat is a single alien coming to get you on some planet.
In a gritty real world situation like war combat, you start thinking about grenades, machine guns and such.
That's why the single fire thing looked odd. No helmets? Bashir playing loud music that could have masked the enemy's approach?
No snipers? Grenades or mines of their own?
Starship Troopers had a pretty interesting take on future warfare. It closely resembled modern warfare with air support etc, but with advanced technology.
I think even Nu Trek has made the jump, notice their weapons are fast pulsed, on both the ships and guns.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
It's not as if our valiant troopers here ever actually miss, that much must be said for the abilities of their weapons (most soldiers would miss even at such close ranges at least once or twice). But 100% accuracy comes at the cost of low rate of fire, which here isn't a good exchange at all. Then again, the same seems to apply to starship combat.
I can see why there would be no helmets: if the best in body armor can only offer as much protection as we saw in "Nor the Battle to the Strong", then making a helmet out of that stuff would just burden the trooper with a bulky item unlikely to help any. There's little or no danger from other battlefield threats there in Trek: in particular, no shrapnel to speak of (since nobody fires explosive let alone deliberately shrapnel-generating rounds). "A little protection" often is much worse than nothing.
Given the above, though, one wonders why nobody brings an ancient fragmenting hand grenade to the fight... Much like a bayonet might be the best way to kill a flak-jacket-wearing enemy at close range, some "outdated" weapons may come handy for the sheer surprise value.

Re: The Siege of AR 558
Roddenberry has said that there were no actual marine force prior to his death. I think the Security departments were covering all the traditional Military ground force duties.
As for why they couldn't get relieved or reinforced was Starfleet was facing personnel shortages across the board. (outside DS9 and the Enterprise) Command crews were being split up and rearranged to try to get experienced people into more places.
They simply didn't have people to relieve those troops till the end of the show.
As for the Semi Auto fire, I know back in the 90s we were trained to NOT fire full auto in the Military. our M16s were supposed to remain on Semi auto fire to avoid spray and prey ammo dumps. There might have been the Star Fleet version of Squad Automatic weapons, but they might have been knocked out by the time Defiant showed.
