RAY SUAREZ: For more on today's war developments and the battle for Baghdad, we turn to former special forces officer and Middle East intelligence analyst Retired Army Colonel W. Patrick Lang; Retired Marine Corps Colonel Randy Gangle, he commanded a regiment during the first Gulf War, and is now executive director of the Marine Corps Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities; and military analyst John Pike, he's the director of GlobalSecurity.org, a non- profit think tank in Washington that tracks national security issues.
And today we saw a detachment of United States forces head into Baghdad, do a little fighting, and head out. What was that all about, Pat Lang?
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: Well, I think they did what we thought they probably would do, they closed out to the southwest of Baghdad, the third infantry division, they sent in a battalion sized reconnaissance and force never intending to stay there — made a circuit through the city to see how much resistance there would be — and what they found was a lot of disorganized and fairly enthusiastic resistance and they made their way through without any trouble. I don't know how they lost that one tank, but it was probably quite a surprise.
RAY SUAREZ: So by seeing what they do back, you learn something that you apply the next time?
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: In military science what you want to do is fix the enemy in position and hold onto him and find out exactly where he is. You have to do that by maintaining contact with him. So go in and grab hold of him and feel out his position. They're going to do this again two or three times to make sure — from different angles and things like that.
RAY SUAREZ: And then what happens?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: Well, this is the pattern that has been set in Basra already. We punch in patrols into the city, kind of gauge what's the feeling of the enemy, are they resisting or fading a way? This is all part of the intelligence gathering procedure, and also gauging whether or the enemy is ready to tip or not, have we reached a tipping point? I think that's that's the critical thing that senior commanders on the ground right now are trying to determine.
RAY SUAREZ: And, John Pike, there are press reports that the men who are going to at least in the initial days run Baghdad already have the city divided into segments, for management purposes. There's, I guess, already a plan on how to run this city.
JOHN PIKE: Well, there would be to be a plan on how to run it because you don't know when the regime is going to collapse, but you do know that there is going to be a moment at which organized resistance collapses. You do know that there is going to be a moment when American forces are going to be able to take over the presidential complex downtown, and that's the point at which you are going to declare victory, and that's the point at which I think you're going to be seeing mass surrenders all across the country.
RAY SUAREZ: Where do military concerns and political ones meet up here in the way that you handle this, who you arrest, who you start looking for?
JOHN PIKE: Well, I think that we see the relationship between the military and the political and the video that we've seen of this initial probe into Baghdad, they went into Baghdad, but you'll notice that there really aren't big apartment buildings on either side of the road – that they were engaging in fire fights with Saddam Fedayeen, but they were doing so in an area where there was the least opportunity for the sort of civilian casualties that Iraq has… that Saddam is trying to provoke. Later on they're going to have to go into more populated areas.
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: They have to get — once the fighting dies down, because they tipped and fell over when the regime went away, they're going to have to get these Iraqi ministries up and running again, so there's a clear intersection here between the political needs of victory and the combat action which you have to be very careful that it doesn't become so severe that you damage everything too much.
RAY SUAREZ: There is, Randy Gangle, said to be a loose cordon around the city. People are fleeing the city in large numbers, but you could guess that some of them are probably part of the apparatus that kept this government alive. Do you take a risk by letting them go in order to meet your near-term military objectives?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: I think the intent will be, for right now, with the forces still trying to move onto the city, I think eventually once we get more forces in the area that cordon will tighten and we'll start to screen those people going out to do exactly what you've identified, capture those guys so they don't come back and bother us later.
RAY SUAREZ: And why a loose cordon now? Does it take too much manpower at the initial point to seal off a city?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: Sure, it's 298 square miles, I believe, the surface that it covers. We've only got advanced elements of two divisions in one Marine division and one Army division. There's just not enough boots on the ground right now to do the job properly.
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: And there's — the clock is running on the overall big political situation. I had a conversation with a foreign minister of one of the surrounding countries in which he told me with great firmness that if you folks don't get this over with in a month, we're all in deep trouble politically and all our governments around here because people just won't stand for this.
JOHN PIKE: And most of the neighborhoods of Baghdad are really not where that victory is going to be achieved. The victory is going to be achieved in the downtown presidential complex when American forces can go to the center of the city, move around freely and basically put the government on the run. That's the point at which victory is achieved and you don't have to bother the other 5 million people in the city in order to do that.
RAY SUAREZ: Well, you're seeing some resistance. The much promised total collapse apparently isn't going to happen yet. Are there any advantages that these fighters have in the streets of their own city with the less technologically able weapons that they possess?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: The advantage that they have is if they choose to defend they will be concealed inside buildings or whatever they can hide behind. We will have to maneuver in the open. And our history tells us, as does our experimentation with urban warfare, 70 percent of your casualties occur in the open– in the streets and in the open areas. So when we're moving on those streets in the open, that's when we're at our greatest danger.
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: There's also the overall thing we know from our experience in military history that when contact is made, the party that's up and moving is the party that takes most of the casualties. And they won't be up and moving, so that's an advantage they have.
RAY SUAREZ: There's also said to be an underground bunker and tunnel network. How important is that to find, secure, collapse during these initial days?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: Very important, because we have to control those in order to limit their ability to maneuver through those tunnels, pop up behind other people, that sort of thing, and obviously if they're retreating into that, and I'm led to believe there are many hundreds of kilometers or at least there's reports of hundreds of kilometers of underground networks under the city, that will be one of the most difficult paths to clear those tunnels out.
RAY SUAREZ: A ranking Air Force leader said today that the Air Force is still very much in the game and once American forces are on the streets of Baghdad, they will still be in the air, above those troops and dropping smaller munitions, switching to different ordinance.
JOHN PIKE: Well, actually what they're talking about doing is going to an inert concrete filled bomb. They've been using those in the Northern Watch/Southern Watch air campaign for the last several years. Basically that's designed to minimize your collateral damage because the bomb doesn't explode, but if you drop five hundred or a thousand pounds of steel or concrete on an individual vehicle, that vehicle is not going to be a hazard, but you're not generating the large amount of shrapnel that you would from an explosive bomb.
RAY SUAREZ: But it has to be dropped in an incredibly precise way, doesn't it?
JOHN PIKE: Well, it's a laser guided bomb, you're going to have a guy on the ground with a laser designator, if he has one of these Fedayeen technicals that is the obstacle to the advance, he can put the laser designator on that one vehicle, an airplane at an altitude of 25,000 feet drops the bomb, that one vehicle is destroyed when it's hit. But you don't have the lethal shrapnel flying all over the neighborhood that can endanger civilians.
RAY SUAREZ: Today a drone flew a 12-hour mission over the city, and came back safely. What does that tell you?
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: Well, it tells me that it's going to be very possible to maintain continual surveillance of these streets during the months the U.S. troops move en masse into the city to conduct this battle that we're talking about. So you'll have very good real-time intelligence of what's going on right in the streets.
RAY SUAREZ: Is that kind of a surprise, though, that there wasn't even small arms fire or any attempt to take this thing?
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: I was surprised — now there may have been attempts to take it down, we don't know that. And it also would depend what altitude it was flying at. It may have been out of small arms range. So I'm not surprised that those UAV's — unmanned aerial vehicles — are flying, and I think it's a good thing.
Remember with caution, however, that the''re limited; they can't see inside the buildings, that's where they're primarily going to hide. But they will prevent them from maneuvering between their hiding places into the open while they're up there.
JOHN PIKE: But one of the real questions I think people have had about the battle of Baghdad is what the role of air power is going to be. The best case scenario is that all of the American air forces, helicopters, drones that have been supporting the American advance thus far, are going to be able to operate over Baghdad.
The worst case scenario is that the classical Baghdad fireworks display, this enormous concentration of anti-aircraft artillery, would create a no-fly zone for American aircraft over Baghdad that you would not be able to get helicopters in there, that you would not be able to get gun ships in there and that that would scrape off a lot of the American technological advantage.
So I think one of the things that they're trying to do is test how coordinated, how dense that anti-aircraft artillery network is, because it was certainly a continual problem in the Kosovo air war.
RAY SUAREZ: Is there a possibility that they're just hanging back in order to draw these invading forces in?
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: I think there's a good possibility that, they're every bit clever enough to do that and disciplined enough to do it. And that may well just give us this terrible disadvantage. But the thing I worry about the most that I've seen in the last day or so is the appearance of substantial numbers of foreign volunteers, fighting against the Marines. If that builds up, that's a real problem.
RAY SUAREZ: And there's no way to know how many there are?
COL. W. PATRICK LANG: No, there isn't.
RAY SUAREZ: There's also now 45,000, said to be Mukhabarat and other security forces finally ready to make the last stand. That could be tough too.
COL. RANDOLPH GANGLE: Oh, absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people that we need to clear out in the city doesn't range somewhere in the 100,000 area when you take a look at the number of Republican Guards that could have moved back into the city and the Fedayeen and all the other members of the regime that have kept Saddam in place, all those thugs, rats, whatever you want to call them, they may be in Baghdad and if they choose to fight, it could be difficult.
RAY SUAREZ: Gentlemen, thanks a lot for being here.

These guidelines are particularly timely, Carrillo said, because most patients with dementia are 65 and older, and an advisory committee of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid will be considering this topic on Jan. 30 to decide whether or not the cost of these scans will be covered under the programs.
PET scans can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 or more, she said.
"Amyloid imaging is appropriate for select use and is really limited to increase certainty of a diagnosis when there are uncertain conditions," Carrillo said. In these cases, imaging helps because it can aid the doctor in deciding what treatment should be given, she said.
For patients with persistent or progressing memory or thinking problems, the test can increase the certainty that they are dealing with an Alzheimer's type of dementia.
If there is no plaque in the brain, the doctor should then look for other causes of the problem such as small strokes or another type of dementia, she said.
Although little effective treatment for Alzheimer's exists, it's important for patients to know what they are dealing with, Carrillo said. "For us as a patient advocacy group, that's critical," she said. Many people are relieved to know even if it's a bad diagnosis, she said.
"What comes with that is not only the relief, but the beginning of not only a medical plan, but planning for the future," Carrillo said. "Even talking about the possibility of joining a clinical trial," she said.
Until recently, amyloid brain scans have mostly been used in research to determine which patients can be part of clinical trials and whether or not treatments are having results.
"These are the first guidelines for clinical use of amyloid imaging," said Dr. Sam Gandy, associate director of the Mount Sinai Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, in New York City.

Make fishing a family affair this summer: Check out the best spots to fish throughout the New York City area - including in the city, on Long Island, and in the suburbs. And before you pack up your poles, make sure to brush up on the local fishing rules and regulations.
You've unburied your pole from the farthest reaches of the closet and psyched your kids up for digging up some worms. Now it's time to pick your perfect watering hole. Read on for state fishing regulations and prime spots throughout our region, and get ready to reel 'em in.
Where to Cast Your Line?
Depending upon how far from home you want to venture, here are some highlights from around the New York City area (and don't rule out the unique joys of city fishing!).
New York City
Check out Prospect Park for waters brimming with largemouth bass. According to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the lake boasts the largest concentration of these fish in the entire state. Prospect Park's fishing policy is "catch and release," so anyone looking for a grilled bass dinner might want to choose a different spot. For the non-fisherfolks in the group, hiking trails, baseball fields, and paddleboat rentals available from Wollman Rink supply alternate means of fun. Future fishing pros ages 15 and under can cast off competitively in the annual Macy's Fishing Contest July 14-18.
If you're looking for bluegill sunfish, black crappie, or giant carp, Kissena Lake might be your watering hole of choice. Kids looking to take home a new addition to the family fish tank will have to search for another spot - this one's catch-and-release only. Don't be too surprised if someone reels in a turtle - the lake hosts a large population of the sea creatures, and they're infamous for taking almost any bait on the line. Cycling tracks, bocce courts, and a golf course are also an option if the fish just aren't biting.
Finding great fishing in the Big Apple seems unlikely, but the Harlem Meer offers an intimate setting for parent-child bonding at the north end of Central Park. Other than the usual carp and largemouth bass, "The Meer" also houses chain pickerel, golden shiner, and redbreasted sunfish. If you have a valid ID, but no fishing pole or supplies, a limited number of free bamboo poles are given out daily, along with corn kennels or dough balls for bait. Throughout the summer live music performed on the plaza affords fishermen and women the opportunity to listen to a concert while they fish.
Long Island
One of Long Island's most popular beaches doubles as one of it's best fishing destinations. Jones Beach State Park not only has an area for surf fishing located on its West End, but it also boasts a bait shop, multiple saltwater fishing piers, and stations designed to organize fishing tours complete with boats and equipment. Although you should anticipate a possible fee to fish on top of the $8-$10 "vehicle entrance fee" in the summer, off-season fishing is free. Species at Jones Beach include flounder, striped bass, fluke, weakfish, porgy, sea bass, and blackfish. Before or after the fishing fun ends, stroll the beach and boardwalk, play a round of miniature golf and shuffleboard, or cool off with a hot fudge sundae at the ice cream parlor.
For a day of fishing that spans sunrise to sunset, visit Blydenburgh County Park's Stump Pond. Freshwater species such as pumpkinseed sunfish, largemouth bass, and perch populate the water, and rowboat rentals are also available from mid-May to Labor Day. The fishing follows the New York State standards so keeping the catch of the day is not an option. Picnicking areas, a playground, and hiking break up the day or provide entertainment for family members who lack the patience required for successful fishing.
For outdoorsy adventures mixed with a plethora of flora and fauna, make the trip to Piermont Pier and Marsh on the Hudson River. Although the river's striped bass tend to congregate more in the spring, visitors love to fish off the pier in the summer too. Boats, canoes, and kayaks can be rented if anyone wants to laze along the river while waiting for bites. With plenty of benches throughout, the path presents an ideal spot for relaxing as well as biking, walking, and jogging.
If trout fishing tickles your fancy, head over to the Cross River Reservoir. Among the yellow perch, chain pickerel, and large and small mouth bass, the reservoir offers prime brown trout fishing. Although boating constitutes the only other activity available at this site, the area boasts lush vegetation along the shoreline and remains a perfect spot for families looking to lay back and enjoy a quiet afternoon on the river.
Fairfield, CT
Drop a line in one of the largest manmade lakes in the United States. Candlewood Lake, which is surrounded by Brookfield, New Milford, Sherman, New Fairfield, and the city of Danbury, houses a large variety of fish including walleye, rainbow trout, and brown bullhead for the taking. If you opt not to release the fish you've caught, be sure that you are not in violation of Connecticut's marine recreational fishing regulations. While anglers can take up to ten of certain species including bluefish and scup, they are not permitted to take any pollock or haddock. The regulations for some species have changed in 2011, so be aware of the new numbers for each fish (visit www.ct.gov/dep). After a long day of fishing, head to Down the Hatch, the lake's popular waterfront bar and restaurant to refuel and share fish tales with the locals.
New York State Fishing Licenses
Saltwater Anglers: Due to legislation enacted earlier this spring, a recreational marine fishing license is no longer needed in New York; this license is being replaced with a free registry, which should be available in early June (www.dec.ny.gov). In the interim, saltwater anglers may fish without a marine license and without registering with DEC.
Freshwater Anglers: You'll still need a sporting license for freshwater fishing if you're over 16 years of age. Cost for NY residents ranges from $5 for one day of fishing to $29 for the year; lifetime licenses are $460.
For frequently asked questions and regularly updated info about fishing conditions, visit the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) website at www.dec.ny.gov.
Connecticut Fishing Licenses
For fishing in Connecticut, two different licenses exist depending upon location (both are a must for any anglers 16 or older). Purchase an inland license if you'll be dropping a line in the Inland District; opt for a marine waters fishing license if you're casting from the shore or off a boat in the Marine District (this license also covers those "landing marine fish or bait species in Connecticut from offshore waters"). Prices range from $5 for a one-day marine waters license to $28 for a resident inland fishing (annual) license. An all-waters fishing license costs $32. For more information, visit Connecticut's Department of Environmental Protection at www.ct.gov/dep.

This brand new and quite interesting blog entry – an interview by Blair Hodges of Adam Miller — is an illustration, I believe, of the direction that the Maxwell Institute has now chosen to take. Adam Miller is a very bright fellow, and has much to offer. Whatever else one may say of it, though, it seems quite distinct from the old Nibleyesque days of FARMS. This isn't the kind of thing that Jack Welch and John Sorenson used to publish.
I'm especially struck by one passage in the interview: "On the whole, . . . I think there's room in Mormonism for atheistic determinists. They're as welcome in our pews as anyone else. They're certainly welcome to sit with me."
Now, on one level, this is perfectly unremarkable. We don't typically seek to drive anybody from our meetings, and I can only imagine — because I've never personally seen — an instance in which, say, somebody was being so violent and disruptive that he had to be ejected or the police summoned. And, despite frequent claims to the contrary in certain circles — by people who, in virtually every case if not in all cases, don't actually know me — I myself have never sought to exclude anybody from our worship services, and I'm willing to tolerate a wide range of views. I have friends of all manner of ideological persuasions. They would certainly be welcome to sit in the pews with me, too.
That said, though, I remain curious. What, exactly, is intended by the phrase that "there's room in Mormonism for atheistic determinists"? If it simply means — as it very likely does — that they can participate in our services and sing in our choirs, that's fine. (I doubt that very many atheistic determinists care about doing so, but that's another matter altogether.) Does it, however, mean that "atheistic determinism" is an equally valuable and adequate way of being Mormon? Would it mean that to a substantial number of other Mormons of Adam Miller's approximate generation and intellectual level (whether or not it means that to him, specifically)? If so, that seems to me somewhat problematic, and potentially very dangerous.
I realize that sharp lines of demarcation are very difficult to draw, and I'm not zealously panting for the opportunity to exclude anybody in particular, but aren't there beliefs and actions that would put somebody definitively beyond the pale? Patterns of thought and action so distinct from historic Mormonism that the person so believing and/or so acting could be said to have pretty clearly left the fold? Or are we to be, on this view, completely accepting and welcoming of all stances? There are both theistic and atheistic versions of Buddhism, for example, and many Jews are agnostic or atheist. Are we headed toward a situation where theistic and atheistic Mormonisms will be widely seen — at least in intellectual Mormon circles — as equally legitimate expressions of our tradition? I note with sadness that secularized Jews are intermarrying with non-Jews at such rates that some fear for the sheer survival of Jews as a people, and I suspect that a fashionably secularized Mormonism would — does — have pretty much the same effect.
I've already encountered critics, most of them long since disaffected from the Church, who demand to know by what right the Brethren claim to be able to determine what is legitimate Mormonism and what isn't — a demand that seems, in my view, to demonstrate in and of itself that the critic has already left at least one fundamental Latter-day Saint belief behind. My question, though, is whether such views are going to make their way into our mainstream active membership. That's why I pose the question publicly. To the limited extent that I know him, I like Adam Miller. And I'm totally in agreement with the idea that the three "atheist determinist" sons of Professor Miller's questioner ought to be entirely welcome in church. But I'm not seeking just to know his view, or precisely what he meant by his comment. I'm more interested in the broader feeling among younger intellectually-oriented Mormons and among Mormon studies people. I'll admit, I'm more than a little concerned. And I note that the FARMS or Maxwell Institute of yesteryear would have tried, however inadequately, to help the questioner with suggestions, arguments, and reading materials that might assist his sons in returning to faith if they so desired. The concerned father sought a good argument for free will. Time will tell whether the Maxwell Institute remains a good place to make such requests.

A detached retina is a condition in which part or all of the
retina—the thin, delicate layer of nerve cells lining the back of the
eyeball—breaks free from the back of the eye and floats inside the eyeball. A
detached retina can cause vision problems and blindness.
A retina can detach as a result of an eye injury, inflammation,
aging, and some diseases such as diabetes. Surgery can often repair a detached
retina and help a person regain normal eyesight.

At this point, it seems clear that the basic shape of the surveillance state is well established. Our knowledge about this state of affairs has led to debate, but little else. The insider view seems to be that safeguards are sufficient, and when parallel constructions do occur, they are a justified law enforcement tactic. Any reporting or oversight should be subject to national security review, and that redactions should be used liberally to protect not just individual assets and operations, but the political climate that allows these operations to proceed. FISA court review provides a sufficient check against abuse, and the lack of any real rejections of surveillance requests brought before the court are a function of successful, rights-preserving negotiations and not indicative of a rubber stamp.
The only questions that interest me now concern the people who actually comprise the surveillance state. Imagine if one of them is a 4Chan troll.

Report on CSA Oats & Potatoes Project
Transition Town Kinsale 2010-11
Following a presentation by John Dolan of Bantry CSA in Kinsale in November 2009, a group came together to explore the possibility of growing oats and potatoes locally.
The reasons for doing this:
Colm O'Regan, a local organic farmer, said he would be growing a crop of potatoes and could supply members with a monthly 10kg bag between September and March approximately at €240 (€120 half share). These will be delivered locally.
One member met with John Dolan to get as much info as possible on Bantry CSA's oats project 2009 and how to grow and process oats.
The process would involve:
75 kg Sonas (a heritage variety) oats was 'borrowed' from Bantry CSA via John Dolan on the understanding that we'd return the same amount after our harvest.
Members paid €75 for a full share = c. 20kg oats, €40 for half a share.
Oats were sown by Derry Desmond in March on his farm at Rongronw, two miles from Kinsale.
In June wild oats were found to be growing amongst the crop and an urgent weeding meitheal (community work day) was planned. One wet day later, the oats eared out and it was too late to weed as the wild oats would be indistinguishable from the Somas oats.
On a sunny day in August, Derry harvested with a combine harvester. A very satisfying day.
2x ½ tonne sacks were purchased from Drinagh Co-op @ €8 each and the oats were stored in Derry's shed in the sacks.
The straw was baled by another local farmer and resulted in 70 bales of beautiful golden straw. Each member received three bales of straw each with ten left over. These could be used as seating for TTK events or mulching on Kinsale Green Growers veggies. The cost of sowing, harvesting and baling was €270.
A coffee morning was held in August to raise awareness, encourage more members, raise funds and drink coffee. €100 was made and this went towards the printing of fliers which were distributed around town and neighbouring villages to get more members.
A drying spear (a long metal tube to be inserted into the large sacks of oats with a motor at one end that sucked air through them) was borrowed from Ron Skingley of Bantry CSA and the oats were dried in Derry's shed. At harvest the oats were 16% moisture so we needed to get them under 15% to be safe for storing long term.
After a few days, there was a shock when it was discovered that moisture seemed to have risen up to 20%. Were we drying in wet weather thereby introducing wet air into the sacks? After more drying during dry days it lowered to 13.8%, a safe level for long-term storage. Moisture content was checked at Barryroe Co-op, Ballinspittle.
By September the oats group was full at 20 members.
40x 25kg paper potato sacks were purchased from Ballinspittle co-op.
Two members took a sample to Madeline McKeever's (Brown Envelope Seeds) near Baltimore for dehulling. The machine was unsatisfactory, dehulling only 60% with 50% weight loss after 3 times dehulling. It seemed there was uncertainty as to how to operate the machine as the instructions were in German.
Some sieve mesh was acquired from Graeppel in Kinsale. Sieving was experimented to try to separate oats from groats (dehulled oats). 90% of the groats came through.
Five members travelled to Madeline McKeever's for another experimental day of dehulling and sieving. One sack was dehulled and sieved which lost approx 50% weight in the process, and had achieved c. 60% groat, i.e. c. 40% were still undehulled after going through the dehuller 3 times. Sieving seemed to help.
The dehuller instruction manual was translated from German into English to make sure we were doing it right. It seems the model, purchased from a company n Germany, was no longer being made.
Some sieves were made up with wooden frames for the next dehulling session.
Members helped winnow the oats using Derry's wonderful 100 year-old winnowing machine in November. The oats were stored in 24 x 25kg paper potato sacks.
Seven members made a trip to Madeline's for dehulling in November. It was hoped to dehull, sieve and dehull again all the oats. A long, cold and dusty day was spent, dehulling x 3 times then sieving and even dehulling again until we decided to send the oats through 4 times to dehull. Success rate wasn't great – about 60% and 50% weight loss.
Dehulling took longer than thought. Four hours to do half the oats. After dehullling, sieving and dehulling again it was decided that this was too much work so finally the oats were dehulled four times. Better result, less time-consuming. Later the dehuller began to be less effective – cracked groats were coming through waste. Possibly it was a loss of power due to peak demand at c. 5pm. A disappointing day.
Groats were stored in a member's house till rolling and roasting. The remainder of the oats were returned to Derry's shed.
In January the oats were rolled using Derry's grain roller in Kilbrittain. It worked well.
On 19th January oats were taken to a bakery in Kinsale for roasting. The bakers were really interested in the process and suggested the oats were fine and didn't need roasting.
They experimented roasting anyway. Two trays:
One at low temperature, about 100 oC and left in for about 15 minutes. Verdict: visibly no change in the oats.
Second tray – repeated above but they came out steaming which if it condensed back into oats would be a problem.
Decided to put this same tray in at high temp (220 oC for further 20 minutes (approx) until they were roasted. Verdict: oats are now 'cooked' and smell different. They tasted bitter.
One baker suggested to store the unroasted oats in a warm room in brown bags so they were stored in a member's 'sun room' awaiting their fate!
Oats were bagged and delivered or members collected.
Result: edible oats/porridge with some hull still there.
Growing and processing oats to the edible state is a complex process. A lot of commitment and work was required by members. There were many meetings.
Sowing, harvesting, winnowing and rolling were easy.
Drying was time consuming and we had luck with the weather so that the oats were quite dry at harvest.
Dehulling was the most difficult process. We had to make several trips to Madeline's and we had to get to know the dehuller and then we realized it didn't work as well as we'd hoped.
However, we have edible oats, though somewhat hully.
As this was our first year, it was difficult probably because we were learning as we went along. Next year we should be more familiar with the process.
The potatoes were easy as the farmer did all the work and delivers to members.
1. Grow another crop but a different variety of oats.
2. Find an alternative method of dehulling: either Madeline obtains a table separator which will separate into different sizes and should improve yield or ask Macroom Mills to process the oats for us.
3. Purchase drying spear from Ron Skingsley.
The first CSA locally produced porridge oats in Ireland!

Subnature at Grant Museum Of Zoology
Relics of nature often go unnoticed until they are placed behind the glass of a camera lens or display case.
Subnature is an installation of sculptures and prints produced by Lan Lan (UCL Slade School of Fine Art), set amongst the skeletons and specimens in jars of the Grant Museum of Zoology. The starting point for each artwork began with regenerating fish bone into contemporary phantom creatures.
The exhibition explores the relationships between nature and its representation. The forms and aesthetics of the installations seek to preserve the longevity of the bony creations by using light and digital processing technology.

Qatar Airways has achieved a world first today by operating an Airbus A340-600 on a revenue flight powered by gas-to-liquid (GTL) kerosene.
The A340-600 took off on the synthetic fuel demonstration flight from London Gatwick, operating the airline's regular QR076 service to Doha with a full load of passengers.
It replaced the regular A330 on the 6hr flight, with all four of its Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines powered by a 50:50 blend of GTL and Jet A1 kerosene.
On board the flight was Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker and a small group of media that included ATI. The remainder of the seats were occupied by fare-paying passengers who had been advised in advance about the nature of the flight.
The demonstration follows a two-year intensive study into synthetic fuel technology, which was announced at the Dubai Air Show in November 2007 by a team comprising Qatar Airways, Qatar Petroleum, Shell, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Qatar Science & Technology Park and Qatari fuel company Woqod.
The Gatwick-Doha flight is the second demonstration of the synthetic fuel. Last year Airbus operated an A380 on a 3hr flight between Bristol and Toulouse with one of its four Trent engines fuelled by a 40% blend of GTL kerosene provided by Shell.
Training and research has been undertaken within the Qatar Science & Technology Park. The country is set to be the market leader in the production of GTL, with Qatar Petroleum and Shell having created a multi-billion dollar integrated GTL 'Pearl' plant. When this comes fully on line by 2011 GTL will be available in large volumes.
Approval for the 50% blend was received in September, and the ultimate goal is to achieve approval for 100% blend of GTL with other synthetic fuels.
GTL provides environmental benefits as it is clean-burning - it produces fewer particulates, thereby reducing sulphur and nitrate emissions - and provides up to 5% higher energy density per unit weight. Qatar Airways ultimately aims to use the fuel for all its regular operations.

the father of the man in the photo is the son of my father. so there are three generations. fisrt the man in the photo, then his father, and then your father. then the second man has to be you in order for his father to be your father without any siblings. then you are the son of the photographed boy, so he is your son.
Admin...your solution is incorrect. The man is looking at himself. The man in the photo is his father's son, with no brothers or sisters, the only son the man would have, is the one looking at the picture!

Thinking about joining the military...
Well guys, within a few months I will be finishing high school and will have to decide what to do for the rest of my life lol. Ever since I was a little kid I looked up to the men and women that serve our country and I always had the utmost respect for them. Now that I am older I have been really thinking that I want to join. My goal in life (as of now) is to end up flying, hopefully I will be able to work my way up to Airliners. My grandfather was a helicopter mechanic in the Marine's and he got out and flew for Delta until he retired. He now just restores planes and flies in airshows across the north west. My uncle was a professional stunt pilot until his plane malfunctioned and he crashed and died 12 years ago. I guess you could say flying is in my blood.
So I've been doing a little research, but I would love to get you guys opinion.
I would like to get the most flight hours possible while at job training. So when I finish serving my time and start looking for jobs I can have an assload of flight hours.
Obviously a pilot would be the best choice, but I see that you have to be an officer to become a pilot. I think I remember reading somewhere that if you went to college first you could join as an officer. If that is true would I need a 4 year degree or would a 2 year suffice? If that isn't possible, what is officer training like? How long is it? Lets just say I fail the test or whatever, blah blah blah I can't become on officer. What should I train to be??? I just want to be around planes, preferably flying them.
This is all concerning the USAF ohh and BTW FIXED WING!!!
__________________________________________________ ___________
I also like the Army very well, but I noticed that my only option for flying over there would be an Aviation Officer, which only flies helicopters. Well I don't really have a problem with helicopters, but my question is will flight hours in a chopper count the same as hours in a fixed wing??
Anyways guys, I'm just looking for insight, and a few answers to my questions. I haven't talked to any recruiters yet, because I want to know EXACTLY what I want before I talk to anyone. Also, if you don't mind just share your experiences you had and why I should, or maybe why I shouldn't join.
Thank you very much for your time, Dillon :smileup:
Well, Dillon, I think it is a great choice to join the military. I spent 20.5 years in the Guard and Reserve. I was Infantry for 16 yrs, a Drill Sergeant for 2, and an ROTC instructor for the last 2.5 yrs. I taught a survival skills class for college freshmen and was responsible for the physical training program, along with spring and fall field training exercises. When I retired, the University did not want to loose me as an instructor, so they hired me as a part time teacher. I am still there today, after retiring 5 years ago.
I think it is a great idea to get some input before you talk to a recruiter, but the recruiter is the one that can and will tell you what you will be able to do. Some recruiters can be pushy, and some very calm and relaxed and let the military sell itself. If you DO talk to a recruiter and you feel pressured, get up and walk out!
The first thing they will want you to do is to take an ASVAB test which is a basic apptitude test that will give you a ranking and tell you what military jobs would be open to you depending on your score. This would be going the enlisted route. If you wish to be an officeer, you could try looking at a college that has an ROTC program (Reserve Officer Training Corps). If scholarships are available for that schools ROTC program, you would be able attend that school and receive up to 4 years free admission. Along with a monthly stipend for books/meals/ etc. I think the monthly stipend at my school is around $400 a month? That is a guess. After you complete 4 yrs of college and maintaiin a certain GPA and fulfill the requirements of the program, you are commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant for an 8 year obligation. Keep in mind, this is on the Army side. The college I work at is an aviation school, but I don't know if it is fixed wing or helicopters for aviation on the Army side. I believe it to be helicopter.
If you wish to speak to my Colonel at the school, you can PM me and I will give you the number and you can call him and ask questions. If you wish to know more, you can PM me and I will give you my number to call me. I hope it works out for you and you make the right choice.
DISCLAIMER_ It has been a while since I have been in the military, so please don't quote me on the above information. It is remembered to the best of my ability, and my ability isn't what it was when I was 20!!! LOL!! (nor my memory!)
Thanks Dave! I still have a lot to learn and really need to get my shit together. I appreciate your possibly cloudy recollection of the military :LOL:
I friend that I worked with for a few years was in the military and he once said something like this to me "I think every american should be required to do some sort of service to their country for some period of time".....that statement always stuck with me. I honestly think I would struggle greatly myself in the military, but really admire those who do serve. I always fear that it would be too much for me. I've never met anyone whose served that has regretted it...
Dillon, I am sure there are many Air Force guys and gals on here that can give you a better understanding of the Air Force. The military isn't for everyone, and in the end, you are the one that will have to make the decision. Best of luck to you!!
Even look into JROTC units in your area. I was thinking about going to the military when my high school adopted an Air Force JROTC program my juniour year. After taking it my senior year I quickly realized the military wasnt for me although I had several friends and classmates who enlisted or went into ROTC after high school (all branches). Some love it some hate it.
If you do choose that route I would highly consider the ROTC option. Its usually 4 years in school then either 4 or 7 years of service after school. It is true that if you go the ROTC route you will become an officer.
I had two Chiefs and a Major as my teachers and the Chiefs told us numerous times that as much as they loved it they wished they had done ROTC instead of enlisting.
My best friend, who was also in in AF JROTC program joined ROTC at a local university out of school, didnt like it, went to school for three years and this past spring decided to enlist. He is currently in Texas for USAF Basic Training and from what I hear is very happy.
I was in the Marines for a few years before ripping my shoulder out and having multiple surgeries. I was honorably discharged after surgery due to recovery time. That was April 2009, I know it has changed a lot since I was out. Some days I want to go back. Some days I don't. I know the gov. has been messing with a lot of stuff recently so it may not be the most stable choice currently. For awhile it was pay cuts, then pay freezes, then I heard they were talking about raising insurance rates etc. Just do your homework and make sure you no what your getting into. This is all my 2 cents and in no way should any of what we say influence a decision, cuz in the end, it'll be you signing on the dotted line not any ramforumz members! Good luck to you man!

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Small-Group WWI Day Trip from Paris: Verdun and Meuse-Argonne Battlefields. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Tour guide was excellent !!
This was a last minute booking and turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Bertran, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable of World War I and the battle sites. Climbing the hills and walking through the trenches gave us a slight idea of what the soldiers went through.
Excellent excursion, well-informed leader (Sebastian) with sense of humor and perspective. French and American cemetary sites visits were especially moving.
Even though the drive from Paris is over 3 hours, the site is immensely interesting with several stops of great importance to those interested in military history, particularly the first World War. There is no substitute for being on a battleground even after 100 years when little trace remains. The ground is hallowed and you easily can see trench works as well as shell fragments and imagine how devastated it all was after billions of shells were expended here. The cemeteries and ossuaries are a clear reminder of the cost. Our guide, Sebastian, was able to describe much of the strategy and tactics and mistakes made in this long battle as well as the larger war, too. I look forward to my Somme visit in a few days.
This was an excellent tour led by a guide, Sebastian, who had an academic speciality in military history. The French combat zone around Verdun was especially well done, as was the American combat area in the Meuse-Argonne region.
Tour guide was great. We learned a great deal. american Cemetery was moving!!
Bertrand, our host and tour guide, should be a designated French national treasure. Our knowledge of the Great War improved ten-fold before we even arrived at Verdun due to his careful scene-setting in terms of the geo-political history of the region, the local culture, and the every-day lives of the French people during that era. And the passion and insight he shared throughout his tour of the various sights helped us understand the impact of the war in a deep and personal way. Bertrand managed all the details of the day, leaving us to enjoy the ride and rich, deep dialogue he engaged us in. We spent nine days in Paris, and this day is arguably the one that leaves us with the longest-lasting impression.
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He made the trip interesting. There was more walking than expected, I would not recommend this trip for anyone with mobility issues. We had 6 on our tour in a small van which was very crowded, I feel the trip was over-priced for what was received.

Aviva Premiership: Saracens stay second in table with come-from-behind win at Leicester Tigers
Last Updated: 23/02/13 10:56pm
Saracens produced a second-half fightback to beat rivals Leicester 32-27 in snowy conditions at Welford Road.
Trailing 17-6 at half time, Saracens scored four tries in a one-sided second-half to stay in second place in the Aviva Premiership.
It was their fourth successive win at Leicester, who have suffered two successive defeats having lost at champions Harlequins last week.
Saracens' tries came from wingers David Strettle (two), James Short and full-back Chris Wyles, with fly half Charlie Hodgson kicking 12 points.
Julian Salvi and Dan Bowden scored for Leicester, who were also awarded a penalty try right on full-time when Strettle deliberately knocked on and was sin-binned.
The sides, second and third in the table, drew 9-9 at Wembley in round three but Saracens made a fine start as former England fly-half Charlie Hodgson gave them the lead with a fourth-minute penalty.
Leicester stand-off George Ford had left his kicking boots at home and missed relatively easy penalties in the seventh and 17th minutes before finally equalising with one from in front of the posts.
Saracens found themselves 10-3 down in the 29th minute after great work by number eight Jordan Crane in winning a loose ball on half way and Ford, whose kick to the corner earned Leicester a lineout.
It led to the first try of the match, for flanker Salvi after giant prop Logovi'i Mulipola's charge to the line and Ford added the conversion.
That became 17-3 three minutes later when centre Bowden scored from Ford's brilliant chip after a searing counter-attack by the lively Murphy and winger Adam Thompstone.
Ford kicked the conversion before Hodgson pulled three points back for Saracens with a 36th-minute penalty.
Both sides kicked too much at the start of the second half as the snow continued to fall and while Saracens upped their game they found Leicester's defence rock solid until Strettle produced a bit of magic from a ruck in the 53rd minute.
The try and Hodgson's conversion put Saracens right back in the game at 17-13 and when Short shrugged off a couple of tackles on the right to score a fine solo try three minutes later Saracens took the lead again, leaving the crowd stunned.
Hodgson missed the conversion but 12 points in 16 minutes had given Saracens the momentum.
They then scored their third try two minutes later when Strettle scampered over for his second try after great work by replacement scrum-half Neil de Kock. Hodgson added the conversion to put them 25-17 ahead.
Ford reduced the arrears to five points with a 72nd-minute penalty but Wyles made the game safe with his side's bonus point try six minutes from time. Hodgson added the conversion.
Leicester were awarded a penalty try at the death after Strettle was yellow carded for a deliberate knock on, with Ford kicking the conversion.

Dassault order losses exceed sales
Business Jet Traveler » October 2009
Thursday, October 1, 2009 - 5:00am
Dassault Aviation logged $1.28 billion in Falcon sales in the first half of the year, down from $1.56 billion in the same period last year after order cancellations far exceeded sales. Thus, Dassault's consolidated orders for the first six months equaled negative $1.5 billion, compared with $3.4 billion in the year-ago period. The company delivered 26 Falcons in the first half of this year, versus 34 in the same span last year. Despite the weak first half, Dassault said it is still committing resources to developing the Falcon 900LX and the super-midsize Falcon SMS.
