Maricultured corals
As our wonderful reefkeepking hobby has grown so has the appearance of coral farms across the globe. Now when we think of a coral farm we usually picture a few shallow aquariums packed with hundreds of frags all neatly lined up sitting inches below high intensity lighting. These farms are sometimes located in a basement or an outhouse while the larger ones are full facilities all on their own.
Coral farms housed within aquariums are important to the hobby, many people have made a successful business from their farms – but the true power of coral farming lies in those farms who use the best lighting, the best filtration and the best flow – the ocean based coral farms. Much like land based coral farms, these mariculture corals are grown in the same way, parent colonies are fragged, attached to a suitable growing base and then given light, flow and food. The mariculture systems benefit from using all the best that the ocean has to offer – but it does mean the farmer has to get more than his/her hands wet. The mariculture coral industry not only has a positive impact on our hobby but it also creates jobs for people who live in these tropical regions. Mariculture of corals in the Caribbean has allowed the restoration of many species back to the wild reefs. With mariculture it really is win win.
If you look online and at your local coral dealer you will have no doubt seen corals listed as maricultured and these corals still present a better, generally hardier option than wild collected corals.

How you'll do the OOA/OOD considering the XProgramming. It should be done in short sotries of a iteration, or for the complete iteration.

In the Iteration Planning, Engineering Tasks are identified and estimated for the current Stories. Developers are expected to discuss implementation issues as much as necessary to get a reasonable gut feel about the estimation.
Most of the design is happening whilst implementing using Test First Development. Writing a test you are designing the interface of the tested class. After you made the test run by using the simplest implementation, you reshape the code into the best imaginable form using Merciless Refactoring. When in doubt, a Programming Pair might decide to do a Quick Design Session using CRC Cards or UML on white boards, generally lasting no longer than ten minutes.
I hope this helps - don't hesitate to ask further questions.

Lira Programme Unit
Northern Region
Communities: 6 parishes
Population: 555,800
Sponsored children: Starting in 2011
Plan started operating in Lira district in 2008, which lies in the northern part of Uganda and has been affected by the Kony insurgency. People are just returning from displaced camps to settle and there is mass deprivation of children's basic needs that directly translates into limited realisation of their rights.
Most inhabitants are agriculturalists growing cassava, finger millet, maize, sorghum, pigeon peas - others keep cattle, goats and sheep.
As a result of the long civil strife community structures, societal values and family ties have broken and children have become subject of all kinds of abuse. Child neglect, sexual violence especially for young girls, heavy work loads, and corporal punishment have all been mentioned by various age groups.
Young girls lamented the heavy work loads which makes them fail to concentrate in their education and sometimes leading to dropping out of school.
Programme highlights
Education support
In Lira, Plan supports children especially girls to access education through the provision of scholastic materials, infrastructure development while strengthening child protection structures and gender awareness.
Water and sanitation
Plan has been promoting Community-Led Total Sanitation so that people can take action to improve their sanitation using the available local resources. This has led to a number of communities being declared open defacation-free.

Dear Friends,
With another year flying by, it's a wonderful time to reflect on all the good things that have been happening on South Mountain and beyond.
On all fronts, I am proud to report that the College has been a hub of activity. From distinguished alumni such as Maria Chrin '87 and Ira Lieberman '64 sharing their experiences with students, to faculty weighing-in on important issues of the day, we celebrate bringing real world experience and relevant research into the classroom. Lehigh and the College are incredibly fortunate to have so many professionals engage and enlighten our students, faculty, staff and alumni.
Using the CBE Strategic Plan as our guideline, we remain focused on the priorities that will continue the upward trajectory of the College as it solidifies its place among the best in the nation. We have made great strides over the past couple of years, but the competition is strong and the ever changing business environment demands us to be ever on our toes.
This past year the faculty has been hard at work considering a variety of options to provide students with a substantive international experience. The CBE Global Steering Committee, comprised of faculty members from each discipline, has been leading this charge. Co-chairs Professor Paul Brockman and Associate Dean Katrina Zalatan provide leadership to this important group. I encourage you to visit our web page that highlights a series of "Occasional Essays on Lehigh's Global Business Education" written by college faculty and leadership. Additional essays will be added throughout the year, with two essays recently posted by Professor Brockman and Associate Dean Zalatan.
As 2011 concludes and we look forward to a new year filled with excitement and anticipation, please accept my heartfelt best wishes for a Happy Holiday season and a New Year filled with happiness, good health, and prosperity.
Best wishes,

Tar Heels to face NCAA tourney-savvy Belmont today
North Carolina coach Roy Williams knew scoring was going to be a struggle just from watching the first minute of his team's 62-54 win over Holy Cross Friday night.
"In the first three possessions we took two shots and (had) a turnover and never made more than two passes in any of those three possessions, and that's not very good basketball," Williams said.
The Tar Heels will need to be more efficient today at the Smith Center against Belmont (4 p.m., ESPNU), which is coming off three straight NCAA Tournament appearances.
UNC loves a fast pace and Holy Cross was coming off a 122-118 double-overtime win, but the teams combined to shoot 25 percent in a 25-25 first half that sophomore forward Brice Johnson described as the ugliest half he'd ever seen.
For UNC, the difference was selfishness on offense — players weren't passing the ball around or setting screens.
"We played a lot of 'me' ball instead of 'team' ball," guard Marcus Paige said.
It was a marked difference from the season-opener against Oakland, when the team had 25 assists on 33 field goals.
"How many shots did you see after one pass?" Johnson said after playing Holy Cross. "At the beginning of the game, people were just pulling up jumpers. That's not how we play. Last game (against Oakland) we made four or five passes."
The Tar Heels (2-0) are down to one proven shooter without P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, who will both miss a third straight game as the university and the NCAA work to resolve compliance issues. Paige hit four 3s against Oakland and scored a career-high 23 against Holy Cross, but the rest of the team is a combined 1 for 8 from behind the arc.
"We're not a team filled with shot creators – guys who you can just get the ball on the wing and say get us a basket," Paige said. "So it's important that we set a lot of screens and we use screens, change sides of the court, give the defense a chance to make a mistake, because that's how you get good shots. One pass and a long jump shot (is) easy for the other team."
NOTES — Both UNC and Williams have never faced Belmont before. … The Bruins (2-1) scored 63 second-half points in a 96-95 home win over Indiana State on Thursday. … This is the 400th game for UNC at the Smith Center, where the Tar Heels are 340-59. If today's attendance reaches 12,978, the team's all-time attendance at the Smith Center would surpass 8,000,000.

- The Importance of Volunteering and Resume Building
Importance of Volunteering and Resume Building
On Wednesday May 14th, 2014, Academy students attended a workshop led by Juan Ramos, a senior at Willamette University. Ramos told the students why it is important to volunteer and keep track of a resume. He got the students involved by asking them questions and giving examples of what they could do for volunteering or to help build their resume. The main topics of this workshop were why and how we volunteer. He explained to the students that volunteering now gives students many benefits. These benefits can include, but are not limited to, creating networks/connections with people to build professional relationships, gain experience, build their resume, and etc. Ramos explained the importance of building a strong, professional resume by keeping it updated and appropriated.
The students enjoyed the information they were given. The students now understand the importance of volunteering and why they should start now. The students are also aware of the many resources both Willamette University and Willamette Academy offer to help them build their resume as well as helping them find different volunteer opportunities. The students came out with a stronger grasp on why it's important to start building their resume now.

The Sure Thing, by Merle Miller; The Sea Change, by Nigel Dennis; The Oasis, by Mary McCarthy
The "Liberal" in the Novel
The Sure Thing.
by Merle Miller.
William Sloane. 341 pp. $3.00.
The Sea Change.
by Nigel Dennis.
Houghton Mifflin. 372 pp. $3.50.
The Oasis.
by Mary McCarthy.
Random House. 181 pp. $2.00.
Until fairly recently—when Lionel Trilling's The Middle of the Journey marked a change in mood—novelists saw the American liberalism of the 30's as a purely political phenomenon. The Sea Change and The Oasis, following Mr. Trilling, reflect a trend of greater concern with morality than politics, with character than class, and describe the devouring shadow that the liberalism of the 30's has thrown on aesthetics, culture, even private emotions. The Sure Thing, on the other hand, expresses with vulgar innocence the very attitudes they excoriate.
Merle Miller's book assumes that the federal loyalty purge will snap crisply into fiction and stroke many a sense of outraged virtue. Its hero, who in a moment of mistaken idealism joined the Communist party, loses his job at the State Department. His only clear feeling is that he has been victimized for belonging to what was once the "right" side. He neither sees nor wants to see the true meaning of his own political past. In his martyrdom, such exact knowledge comes to seem irrelevant, even shameful, and a thoughtless uprightness blazes out as the prime American virtue. The Spanish Civil War is not an assimilated historical experience, but a nostalgic password. Thus, the liberalism of The Sure Thing is chiefly interesting because of the way it disinherits its radical youth, sloughs off everything that is harsh or questionable, and puts its protest against the Congressional investigations in the form of an elaborate sulk.
Nigel Dennis's The Sea Change is in part about the circular logic of a liberal weekly magazine. The Forward, and the "democratic" tyranny of its financier, Mrs. Morgan. Its second half contains some rather splendid notes for a Polish travel diary, August 1939, and examines (after Henry James) the impact upon several Americans of the older, more despairing, and more self-conscious civilization. To Jimmy Morgan, freed of his mother's constricting embrace, Europe is much what the first sight of London was for Pip in Great Expectations— the dazzling beginning of experience and self-knowledge. His section of the book has least form and most spirit. But the novel's argument is in the story of Max Divver, The Forward's political writer, who abandons his mechanical progressive values to' become the disciple of a small-scale dictator.
The novel tries to treat Divver's tragedy in philosophical and aesthetic rather than simply ideological terms. It is Divver's credo of determinism, his enthronement of Historical Forces, that corrupts his mind by interposing abstractions on his perception of people and things. The spurious diction of The Forward's editorial on his death accentuates the meaning of his corruption. (His change of political sympathy is disregarded because it fits no pattern the editors can understand.) Dennis has probably impaled more alarmingly than any other modern writer the special vocabulary of the "progressive," in its complacent nuance and mesmeric inertia: "Max Divver always stopped, Mr. Hull. He stopped because he was always ready to be halted by injustice. . . . We shall fall short of his brilliance, Mr. Hull, just as we fell short in the past: selfishness cannot be obliterated overnight. History will record the specific extent of our success or failure—and history will have her special niche for Maxwell Prentice Divver. It may be no large niche, but it will be sizable enough to contain social aspirations which far transcend the mere act of individual living."
The best thing about Nigel Dennis is that his political sophistication never inhibits a regard for the individual. Politics interests him insofar as it operates on the characters' imagination and their sensibilities. What contempt there is in the novel is directed at prescribed behavior, not at persons. Mr. Dennis views with a worldly, compassionate mockery the humorless automatism that seems to be inseparable from current liberalism.
It is true that Mr. Dennis has been fortunate in his relation to the circle he describes, which is somewhat like that of an occasional magazine contributor considering, over a pipe at home, the output of the droning steadies. Mary McCarthy does not have this luxury. She is criticizing the anti-Communist Left from within, and since she, to some extent, implies her own participation in its failures, she cannot easily be compassionate. The Oasis has both the vigor and the pettiness of the internal party split. Ideology is always the springboard for action, as for characterization, so that the novel becomes a series of frozen gestures, with political "humours" in ascendance.
The plot itself develops as a kind of ideological tournament. These radical intellectuals who establish a Utopian refuge from the threatening atomic war are cleanly divided between realists and purists. And it is over a minor question of property rights, which festers into an atmosphere of philosophical guilt, that the community is disrupted. "Ultimately, Utopia would fail; that was to be expected. But it might survive for many months or for years, if the production of a commodity more tangible than morality could be undertaken."
The moral background, with its dogmatism and its propietary attitude toward ideas and ideals, is shrewdly perceived, but where are the flesh-and-blood "figures"? The radical intellectual has, in the course of one decade, been transformed from stock-hero to stock-villain. The performers never appear as their relaxed unprofessional selves, as eaters, readers, and laughers. And it is all the odder that they do not, since Mary McCarthy greatly likes what is free and unpredictable. The most amiable characters in the colony of Utopians are Leo Raphael, a mercurial, inconstant poet; Mac-Dougal Macdermott, who can suddenly shift opinions with the ease of an amateur parliamentarian; and Katy, who is close to her creator, indecisive, and handled with unique maternal tenderness.
It must be admitted that the predictable behavior of the colonists is one of the points of Miss McCarthy's satire. In the same paradoxical way, her depersonalizing manner protects an oversusceptibility to the personal. But even for a critique. The Oasis is needlessly mordant, always torn between its cool, orderly prose and its disorderly rancor. As a novel it is in many respects out of proportion. It substitutes epigrams for imagination, converts (in deference to its old-time religion) mild farces into capital issues, and mild weaknesses into grotesqueries.

Busy Moms know how important it is not only to make money online, but to make Good money online. The more efficient it is, the better. The more targeted it is, the better. The more enjoyable it is, the better. So let us take a look at what is Better.
The Better Way
Better is making $5-$20K per month. How? By working together. One thing I've found out the hard way is that I cannot do it on my own. As much as I would like to think I can : ), I just cannot. Then I ran across a Mastermind on the internet.
An educated group effort is what a Mastermind is. It is a group of professionals who work together to mutually benefit from one another. When someone in the group succeeds, then all succeed. As long as the Mastermind continues, the success continues.
I never would have believed it worked. I was always a lone ranger. How encouraging it is to find hope that others actually WANT me to succeed—and at age 42! How many of us are used to fighting for success only to have others shoot us down and try to ruin our reputation with gossip, rumors and sabotage? It is time that all ended!
What You Want To Be Contagious
I had given up. But after I gave up, I found out about Masterminds. It is in the best interest for everyone to succeed, so prosperity becomes contagious. I am writing to busy moms making money online, or who want to start making money online. I know how important it is to you to want to stay home and make and income. It is important to me too.
I had my daughter at age 41. She was born premature and weighed only 3 pounds. But she just had her first birthday and now weighs a healthy 21 pounds! For some of us, staying home is a need as well as a desire. A Mastermind can make that happen.
The Future Can Be Now
I was always a future thinker; I will do it someday. Sometime later. In the future. Now I work for today. Instead of dreaming, I am living. I want to see other busy moms live their dreams now. I get to identify with a whole new group of women that I never identified with before: mothers. I was denied that privilege, until now. It is great to be a Mom! A Busy Mom. And this is for Busy Dads too.
Success requires action. Action leads to prosperity. And this is busy moms making money online. Busy moms know how to succeed. When they enter a Mastermind, the whole thing changes. Busy moms rock the boat. Busy moms know how to get things done! We get sharpened by our little ones, so we know how to be a step ahead all the time. When busy moms start making real online money, then everyone else will pay attention. So rock on and see what comes of it. Get ready world: here come the MOMS!

Agents Of Change
READ: 2 Timothy 2:19-26
If anyone cleanses himself . . . , he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:21
With 4 years of seminary under my belt, I walked into my first ministry with a long agenda. As a new pastor, I thought I was there to change that place. Instead, God used that place to change me.
The board members were supportive, but they relentlessly kept my feet to the fire in administrative details. I needed to learn how to work with lay leadership, how to be careful in my work, and how to dream with others.
We often think God has assigned us to change the world around us when in reality He is interested in changing us. Why? To make each of us a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work (2 Tim. 2:21). God often uses the most unlikely people in the most unlikely places to teach us some of lifes most difficult lessons. And just when we think weve arrived, He is instructing us further.
Not long ago I entered a new season of ministry. I may be a seasoned veteran, but Im still learning, still growing, and still amazed at how God continues to shape this vessel for His noble purposes.
If you want to be an agent of change, dont resist the true Agent of Change. He has your best interestand Hisat heart! Joe Stowell
What changes we would love to make
In others lives, for Jesus sake!
But first we must learn at His feet
The things that will make us complete. Branon
Only when we are changed can we be agents of change.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men"

In 2010, when Nathan Brown concluded his report on the Palestinian Authority's "state-building," he declared "Fayyadism"–the idea that Salam Fayyad was building essential governing institutions–for the mirage it was. The impression on the ground was that Fayyad was merely managing the decay of the institutions Yasser Arafat had built. Crucially, Brown wrote: "To the extent that Fayyadism is building institutions, it is unmistakably doing so in an authoritarian context." Translation: whatever it is Fayyad is doing would be impossible in a democratic setting.
Brown's report echoes back this week as Jillian York, director for international freedom of expression at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, reports that the Palestinian Authority has now added a new element to its authoritarianism:
According to a report from Ma'an News published today, the Palestinian Authority has ordered the blocking of websites belonging to eight news outlets critical of President Mahmoud Abbas. The report states that technicians at PalTel—the largest ISP in the West Bank—tweaked their proxy server and web cache daemon to block the sites, while other ISPs are using similar setups. The blocking is inconsistent across ISPs, with at least one failing to block certain sites on the list…
Prior to these latest developments, Internet under the Palestinian Authority (PA) has been relatively unfettered, with only one site—Dounia Al Watan, a news site that was reporting on corruption within the PA—ever reported as blocked in the West Bank. Gaza's Internet is considerably more restricted, with sexually explicit websites blocked.
Ma'an reports that the new round of censorship was the brainchild of the Palestinian attorney general, who cracks down on such freedom from time to time, chipping away at whatever temporary semblance of personal liberty Palestinians in the West Bank enjoy.
Usually these crackdowns earn some form of public protest, but that seems to be lacking in this case. Ma'an explains that this is because no one will risk even talking about participation in the program:
By contrast, the blocking has gone largely unnoticed. Mada, a press freedom group, raised the issue of Milad and Amad, while U.S. blogger "Challah Hu Akbar" reported extensively about In Light Press, but many Palestinians remain unaware the Internet is censored. This is partly because providers have not acknowledged their cooperation nor have subscribers been told any websites are off limits.
Even at private Internet companies, employees fear losing their jobs or worse if they discuss the program. "Sorry, but I'm not going to jail," said one PalTel technician when asked for a list of the websites.
"Sorry, but I'm not going to jail" isn't a very encouraging slogan for Fayyadism, but it is more accurate than pretending he is competently serving the Palestinian people.

Anything similar to The Flying Pig that takes reservations?
I love The Flying Pig restaurant in yaletown and am looking for something like it for a small holiday dinner for 7 people. Because there are 7 of us and it is in December, I need to make reservations and they don't take them, even with a credit card. So I am looking for something in the same vain: cozy, convivial not romantic atmosphere with rich yummy French bistro fare in either Downtown or Westside. There are so many new places opening up, its hard to keep up with them so maybe something else like it has opened up and I just don't know about it?
I would checkout Jules Bistro http://www.julesbistro.ca/
or Bistrot Bistro http://www.bistrotbistro.com/index2.html

ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York sheriff says two young Amish sisters now safe at home were kidnapped from their family farm stand and police are seeking more than one person responsible.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said Friday the girls are in good health and provided information that's helping the investigation.
Authorities still aren't releasing any details about what happened to the girls during their daylong disappearance. They say they don't want to compromise a potential prosecution. Descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle are also being withheld.
Seven-year-old Delila Miller and 12-year-old Fannie Miller vanished Wednesday evening after a car pulled up to the roadside stand in Oswegatchie (ahs-wee-GAH'-chee), near the Canadian border.
They turned up unharmed Thursday evening at a house in Richville, about 15 miles away.comments powered by Disqus

Carl Aubock was a major player in the Mid-Century Modern scene and also a huge modernism influence from his home country of Austria. One look at his modern, natural and unique furniture pieces and accessories and you can see why. We chose a piece of his that really sung to us, and paired it with some Swank Lighting lamps that took our breath away the first time we saw them.
You know, not many people have the need for serving carts anymore. But before you dismiss this Cantilever Serving Cart by Carl Aubock as obsolete, remember that you don't have to use a furniture piece the way that it was originally intended. This gorgeous wooden piece of furniture is from the 1950s and features a two-tiered cart in solid walnut with brass details and wheels. We'd use this as a sweet side table alongside a couch or lounge chair. It's got great outlines and would make a fun, functional item.
It should come as no surprise to hear that we love just about everyone of Swank Lighting's own lamps, but every now and then we see a pair that absolutely screams "I'm yours! I'm yours!" That's what Swank Lighting's Spotted Chartreuse Vintage Glass Lamps did for us. We know they're not made from anyone particularly famous, but there's just something about that lemon-lime color, that soft, circular, indented quilted pattern and that nice, classic, vintage bowling ball shape to the body. We love it all!
You probably won't be able to fit both of these lamps onto Carl Aubock's Cantilever Serving Cart (or really any of his pieces, for that matter) but we do think with a little maneuvering you might could swing one. And believe us, it would be worth the try. Both the serving cart and lamps exhibit strong hip and vintage vibes that we think together would out of this world!
Swank Lighting is an amazing resource not just for the best vintage Murano glass lamps on the market today, but also a wonderful resource for interior design inspiration and a great place to get an education about past and present designers. Keep up-to-date with everything we do on our Facebook page and our twitter.

I am making two of these hats in good old 100 % acrylic. The Tychus Hat Pattern
Visit Crafty Andy's Blog
Becaus I liked the color combo of one of their flags
These are the colours of the Barcelona soccer team.
Why "Barcelona"?
Visit Crafty Andy's Blog I have done four panels when using double strands and five panels when doing single strand. You need lots of hair lol! Which as you know I keep under control lol!
I've knitted a few of this, the first came out HUGE, so I knitted another on size 7 needles, it came out perfect as a skull cap and for my son I did the same but added 8 stitches to the cast on and he loves it.
I also made this pattern but while knitting it, I was aware that it would end up huge, so I just knitted four panels instead of the five in the pattern. How did yours turn out size-wise?

A 1968 Plexi Amp crammed into a simple-to-use, great-sounding pedal.
The Animal is Rockett's recreating of a 1968 Plexi Sound. The Animal is an extremely open and amp like sound that can get you from a stock plexi to a modified plexi with the flick of the snarl switch. The Animal can get very aggressive but it is by no means a distortion pedal, just think of a cranked plexi and how open and natural it sounds. Gotta love this pedal!

LARRY KING: Tonight, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, why he submitted his resignation to the president twice. And when might U.S. troops be coming home from Iraq? And then, Dr. Phil is back, keeping it real and taking your calls as only he can. They're both next on LARRY KING LIVE.
LARRY KING: It's a pleasure to welcome to LARRY KING LIVE the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. Sorry we couldn't be together in person, but the miracle of satellite produces it. He remains on in the Bush cabinet.
By the way, are you going to stay the whole four years? Is that it for you? Are you going to carry on?
DONALD RUMSFELD: You know, we never discussed that when I met with the president and he asked me to stay on. My wife, Joyce, however, said -- she said, "You're going to know when to quit. And that's when you start trimming." And I haven't started trimming yet, Larry.
KING: Trimming meaning?
RUMSFELD: Oh, being something other than yourself.
KING: Really? In other words, like sleeping late?
RUMSFELD: No, no. Nothing like that. No, I think she had in mind that sometimes people in public life end up altering their behavior to fit what they think to be the circumstance. And my wife's attitude is life's too short for that, so you're -- either you're yourself or you go do something else.
KING: How do you explain, by the way, being successful all your life in business and public life and at the same time always being direct?
RUMSFELD: I don't know. But I do tend to be direct, and I think I owe that to people. I would feel very uncomfortable getting into a mode where I had to try to be clever.
KING: Let's get into some things. What about this whole Iraq operation, frankly, surprised you, beginning to end? Beginning to now?
RUMSFELD: Well, I guess, you know, no plan ever survives the first contact with the enemy. We're up against enemies that have brains, and they watch what we do and they change what they're doing to try to take advantage of what we're doing. And of course, we do the same thing.
So what you can do is fashion plans and look at all the things that you could anticipate that could do -- be done some way other than what you expect. And then fashion a plan that has excursions so that you can adjust to all of those things.
Now, clearly the war lasted -- the major combat operation lasted a very short period of time. General Franks did a superb job, and his commanders were highly successful.
One of the things that didn't go right was we were not able to get the 4th Infantry Division in from the north through Turkey. And because of that, the Sunnis north of Baghdad never really got engaged in the war and an insufficient number were captured and killed in that part of the country. And they didn't really ever experience the full power of the United States military.
And they, in many instances, today are the ones that are fomenting this insurgency that exists in Iraq. So that and the fact that we couldn't get that division in from the north was unfortunate, in my view.
KING: So would you say that the insurgency has surprised you somewhat?
RUMSFELD: It has clearly been at a level that has been more intense than had been anticipated.
KING: The prisoner abuse scandal, which seems to now have had some people admitting it, will we -- is there a possibility that could occur again? Have we put the Band-Aid on that?
RUMSFELD: Well, you know, when something that terrible happens, it tends to not happen immediately thereafter. People are so sensitized to the wrongness of that kind of abuse that it's less likely to happen for a period of time.
Now, it was just startling to all of us, and yet there it was. Some people in our custody were not treated properly, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the judicial process is proceeding. And any number of people have now pled guilty to
KING: Was there ever a time during that period when people were raising, screaming about Donald Rumsfeld, that you thought, "Maybe I ought to hang it up. Maybe I ought to -- the buck stops at the top"?
RUMSFELD: You know, it does. If you're in charge of a large organization, and something like that occurs, and of course in an organization -- the problem is this kind of thing occurs in prisons across the country and across the world. And you have to know it's going to be a possibility. And therefore, the training and the discipline and the doctrine has to be such that you anticipate that risk. And clearly, that wasn't done to the extent it should. I mean, the fact is, Larry, I submitted my resignation to President Bush twice during that period and told him that I felt that he ought to make the decision as to whether or not I stayed on. And he made that decision and said he did want me to stay on.
KING: And if he had accepted, no regrets?
RUMSFELD: No. Indeed, no. You know, the -- what was going on in the midnight shift in Abu Ghraib Prison halfway across the world is something that clearly someone in Washington, D.C., can't manage or deal with.
And so I have no regrets. I think that we have a wonderful team of people in the Department of Defense. We have good people. We've made a lot of corrections to make sure that those kinds of things happen -- either don't happen again or are immediately found out and limited and contained.
KING: Does those elections last Sunday, which you praised this morning and are so happy about, and the president, does that mean that half this battle is won? How far along are we on a scale of bringing the boys home, and the women home?
RUMSFELD: Well, the goal is to stay there as long as needed and not one day longer. And that means that Iraq has to be on a path towards freedom and democracy and a system of government that's respectful of the people, the diverse elements within the country and at peace with their neighbors.
And that means that the Iraqi security forces have to be sufficiently capable that they can ensure the security in that country. And we are well along in that process. I feel very good about the fact that we've made such good progress in training and equipping
If you think about it, on election day, the Iraqi security forces provided the first ring and the second ring of security around 5,000 polling places across a country the size of California.
KING: Who will be, Mr. Secretary, the determiner of when those conditions are met? Because you once told me if the government says go, we go.
RUMSFELD: Absolutely. And of course, the government's saying quite the contrary. Has been, and I'm sure when the individuals who just ran in those breathtakingly wonderful elections, when they are seated in their constituent assembly, I suspect that they'll recognize the reality that the coalition forces have been the forces that liberated 25 million people in that country, the forces that are there to assist them, develop their own capacity, and that we have no interest in staying beyond any time we're welcome.
KING: But we won't put a timetable. Would you say it's going to be a while?
RUMSFELD: Well, you can't put a timetable on it. I wish I could. I'd dearly love to be able to tell the American people that on this date certain, we will have accomplished it. But the problem is, there are too many variables.
The question is the level of that insurgency, how -- to what extent do Iran and Syria not cooperate and make the insurgency worse? To what extent do the people who were elected fail to reach out to the Sunnis and bring them into the government so that they have a single country? Those variables will make a difference.
We know roughly how fast we can train and equip Iraqi security forces, and we have a schedule. And it's moving along very successfully. But it's the combination of the two, the competence of the Iraqi security forces, coupled with the intensity of the insurgency that's going to make the difference and determine when we can actually move our troops out.
KING: We'll be back with some more moments with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away.
KING: We're back with Secretary Rumsfeld. Mr. Secretary, how about our armored vehicles? Are things improved?
RUMSFELD: Well, they've improved enormously, Larry. I've talked to General Casey about it this week, and he tells me that by February 15, there will not be a vehicle moving around in Iraq anywhere outside of a protected compound that does not have the appropriate armor. They have put an enormous effort into it. Flown in people who could do the welding and flown in the steel to be attached to various vehicles.
And they've done something that is most unusual, they have provided force protection in a country and in an insurgency where there is no forward edge of the battlefield. You know, in an insurgency you can have an explosive device anywhere at all. It's not as though there is -- some people are in front of the battle -- line of battle and some are behind it, safe, there is no line of battle in an insurgency.
So they've done a wonderful job, the military has.
KING: What are your concerns about Iran?
RUMSFELD: Well, you have a country that's ruled by a small handful of clerics. And the -- it's not a stable situation in that sense. I mean, you've got women and young people who know what's going on elsewhere in the world. They see what's happening in Afghanistan where 25 million people have been liberated and women stood in line to vote.
And instead of using the soccer stadium to behead people, they're using it for soccer. And people can come and go as they wish. Now they what's happening in Iraq, here is a country so many people said, it's a quagmire, that they -- those people aren't ready for democracy or freedom. They're too used to a dictatorship. And, yet, they went out and voted.
And the neighboring countries are going to look at that, not just Iran, but Syria and other countries are going to look at it and think to themselves, isn't that an interesting thing that's taking place in our world? And you know, if you look back over history, the great sweep of history is for freedom. And we're on the side of freedom.
KING: And you think that will spread?
RUMSFELD: I think it will. Repression works, there's no doubt about that. I mean, you think about how long the Soviet Union was able to subjugate those various republics, for decades and decades and decades.
But the wonderful thing that I saw about Iraq last Sunday was the people went out to some of the polling places, and they stood around, they didn't vote. They watched to see what their neighbors and other people were going to do. And an hour went by and two hours went by. And of course, on the walls it said, "you vote, you die," where the Zarqawi people were threatening them.
But finally some woman, I'm told, over 70 years old, said, I'm going to go in and vote. She walked in to vote and all the other people started coming in. And what those people saw was that despite 35 years of a vicious dictatorship, they still had courage. They still were willing to take a chance. They still had that natural human desire to be free.
And I think it gave each of them more courage to know that there are other Iraqis, millions of other Iraqis, share their same desire for freedom.
KING: Are you going to go there again soon?
RUMSFELD: Yes.
KING: How soon? Does it have to be a surprise? They can't announce when you go, right, I guess?
RUMSFELD: Yes, I normally don't announce when I'm going. But I go frequently, as you know.
KING: Tell me about this anthrax vaccination that's picking up again for men and women in service, why?
RUMSFELD: There still is the risk of anthrax. It is possible that you can deal with it prophylacticly with a series of shots. We had an authorization to go ahead and do that. And most people who were at least at risk of being in an area where they might be vulnerable to the anthrax began that process. A number of them finished the process. And then there was a legal step taken that delayed that.
And then I'm told that the Food and Drug Administration provided an emergency authority that on certain circumstances they could proceed. And it's a matter that is being worked out with the lawyers. But it's just a prudent step.
KING: There were stories through the years of Colin Powell about a rift. You've always been direct with us, is any of that true?
RUMSFELD: Look, I've known Colin Powell since I was secretary of defense and he was a colonel. And he is an enormously talented man. He's got a fine brain. He's got a lot of ability. He's about as articulate as anyone you'll ever meet. And he cares about the country.
And he, in his role as secretary of state, and me, in my role as secretary of defense, represent big institutions. And those institutions have different perspectives on the world and different perspectives on policies. And that's a healthy thing.
And the President wanted those discussions and debates to take place. He is a president that has got a lot of confidence in himself and in our country and in listening to different views.
My relationship with Colin Powell has been uniformly cordial and professional and I consider him a friend.
KING: So even with debates, no acrimony.
RUMSFELD: No, indeed. Now, down below three layers you have people who say things and do things that cause that impression to develop. But no, on a personal basis, we've had a lot of good times together and certainly agreed more often than we disagreed...
KING: How did he get along...
RUMSFELD: ... and when we disagreed...
KING: I'm sorry...
RUMSFELD: Disagreed it was not disagreeable.
KING: How do you get along with Secretary Rice?
RUMSFELD: Very well. She is also a very bright person and knowledgeable. She also is, of course, very anxious to be supportive of President Bush and she's very close to him. I had lunch with her yesterday and we talk every morning and sort through a whole set of issues, just as she and Colin and I talked every morning at 7:15 to work through a series of issues and had lunch once a week.
KING: Will she do well?
RUMSFELD: I think so. I think she is going to be a very good secretary of state. She is a person who has always been an achiever, whether it was in music or education or her discipline -- the old Soviet Union -- she has always been a person who has excelled. And I don't doubt for a minute that she will excel in this new post.
KING: Now tell me, I -- most officials wear the flag. What's in your lapel?
RUMSFELD: Well, I'm wearing the "Support Our Troops" symbol, "America Supports You." And...
KING: Is that that Web site?
RUMSFELD: It is. It's the Web site, and I think it's americasupportsyou.mil. And...
KING: Yes, I have -- I see it here.
RUMSFELD: It's a wonderful opportunity for people to go to the Web site and find out all the fabulous things the American people are doing to support our troops.
KING: It's called americasupportsyou -- all one word -- .mil, M- I-L, "details what people have done to support the military, what you can do at home, features response from military people about the support they've received and it's an official Web site of the Department of Defense."
How new is this?
RUMSFELD: Very new. It has been within recent weeks.
KING: Secretary, as always, good to see you, next time, in person.
RUMSFELD: Thank you very much, Larry, it's good to be with you.
KING: Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. When we come back, Dr. Phil, hey, there's a quinella (ph), don't go away.

SWOSU Music Students Receive Scholarships to attend Prestigious Summer Jazz Camp
April 29, 2013
Three Southwestern Oklahoma State University students in Weatherford have received scholarships made possible by a donor to attend this summer's Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop in Louisville, Kentucky.
Enid's Samantha Canon (saxophone), Clinton's Myles Madden (trombone) and Pond Creek's Herbert Herrera (trombone) will attend the week-long camp because of the generosity of Mike and Elizabeth Muncy of Oklahoma City.
This is the second year the Muncys have provided scholarships for SWOSU students to attend the camp. Canon, Madden and Herrera were selected by performing two standard jazz works for a panel of judges and by submitting a personal statement and resume.
The summer camp has one of the best jazz faculties in the United States and helps students work on improvisation and other jazz skills, according to Dr. Richard Tirk of the SWOSU Music Department.
Canon is a student of Dr. Keith Talley, and Herbert Herrera and Myles Madden are students of Dr. Robert Chambers.

By Lisa DanielAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2012 Sesame Workshop's resources and outreach have done more to help families cope with repeated deployments during a decade of war than anything the military could have done alone, the military's top officer said here today.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Sesame's "Talk, Listen, Connect: Deployments, Homecomings, Changes" campaign -- a kit of DVDs and booklets designed to get families to discuss the unique challenges of military service with young children -- sends "a powerful signal and produces a better outcome" than the Defense Department or military services could do on their own.
Dempsey made the comments as part of a Sesame Workshop panel discussion with other military and veteran advocates. ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, who suffered a traumatic brain injury while reporting on the war in Iraq, and his wife, Lee, also an author and journalist, hosted the event at the National Press Club.
"I bet you'll pay more attention to what Rosita says than what any four-star general says," Dempsey said, as the green furry monster puppet made an appearance at the lectern next to him.
In creating the programming, Sesame writers had to determine "how we take the child's perspective so the adult is willing to go through that door with them," said Jeanette Betancourt, Sesame's senior vice president of outreach and education.
Sesame created three episodes for the campaign, each with celebrity guest hosts: "When Parents are Deployed," with Cuba Gooding Jr.; "Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change," featuring Queen Latifah and John Mayer; and "When Families Grieve" with Katie Couric. The shows aired nationwide on television and are streamed on Sesame's website.
The episodes depict the Sesame characters experiencing the same events military children may have to cope with, such as when Elmo's father leaves for deployment, and Rosita's father returns from deployment in a wheelchair.
"Talking is so important, and sharing," 5-year-old Rosita said. "My family went through big changes, because my poppy got hurt and he couldn't walk anymore."
Retired Marine Corps Maj. Nico Marcolongo, program manager for the Challenged Athletes Foundation Operation Rebound, spoke from the panel about returning from his second deployment in Iraq, and suffering post-traumatic stress.
"My circle got very small when I was first home," Marcolongo said. He described being self-absorbed, distracted and detached. "The most disconcerting was I felt no love for my family," he said.
Marcolongo's then 3-year-old son mimicked him, he said, pacing back and forth in the house like his father. "It was real tough coming home with a wound I couldn't see and nobody else could see," he said. Marcolongo got help, and helped his son with the "Talk, Listen, Connect" videos, which he said teach families how to talk about the changes, accept their feelings and know they are not alone.
Patty Shinseki, wife of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, spoke of her decades as a military wife and mother.
"This absolutely zeroed in on those feelings that military families experience," said Shinseki, who serves on the Military Child Education Coalition board. Her husband is a retired Army general.
"The single, most wonderful change" for military families since her family served, Shinseki said, is that now families can receive help and resources 24/7 through programs like Sesame's. "We can't go back through that gate," she said. "We've got to keep this conversation alive for the children."
Dempsey described the Sesame initiative -- funded by a consortium of public, private and nonprofit entities -- as the perfect partnership to help military families. Rather than "just another government program," he said, the program shows military families that the nation cares.
The chairman added that such initiatives are important to keeping trust with military families who all sacrifice for the nation.
"The equipment won't always be perfect, my orders won't always be perfect, and the organization we create won't always be perfect," he said. "What has to be perfect is that trust with the families."
Dempsey, who is known for occasionally breaking into song, closed the event with a surprise a cappella rendition of the Sesame Street theme song.

Green Bay — Charles Woodson made the Pro Bowl, Tramon Williams elevated his game to Pro Bowl level and Sam Shields probably was the biggest surprise on the Green Bay Packers' roster this season.
The common denominator is Joe Whitt Jr., the second-year cornerbacks coach who might well be ascending the National Football League coaching ladder sooner than later.
Certainly Whitt's stellar work with this group of players won't be going unnoticed by those seeking successful young coaches.
"Trust me," Williams said this week. "The guy knows his stuff. He will be a coordinator or a something one day. I don't know exactly when it's going to be, but I think he's definitely going to have one of those upper spots."
At 32, Whitt was the third-youngest secondary coach in the NFL this season. On Mike McCarthy's staff, he's the youngest position coach by a year over Ben McAdoo (tight ends).
When Whitt joined the Packers in 2008 as defensive quality control coach, his goal was to become head coach at his alma mater, Auburn. Now Whitt says he's ready for the step up to NFL defensive coordinator en route to what he hopes one day is an NFL head-coaching job.
"Emmitt Thomas always told me, 'Hey, you can be a head coach in this league,' " said Whitt, who worked side-by-side with the former Packers defensive coordinator as assistant secondary coach for Atlanta in 2007. "I just know I want to run my own team."
Whitt's background is similar to that of Mike Tomlin and Raheem Morris, the head coaches at Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay who were hired by their teams at ages 34 and 32, respectively.
Whitt lettered twice as a walk-on wide receiver at Auburn before a series of five operations ended his career. Tomlin played wide receiver at William & Mary and Morris was a safety at Hofstra but didn't play in the NFL, either.
Both Tomlin and Morris coached defensive backs in the NFL before becoming head coaches. When the Vikings hired Tomlin as defensive coordinator in 2006, he was 33.
For now, Whitt is the coach seated in the press box just to the right of Dom Capers, often with his chin resting in his hands as he scrutinizes plays. On Sunday in Philadelphia, Whitt will seek redemption for what he calls an "embarrassment" for the secondary in the playoff loss last January in Arizona.
"When I start to see a lack of focus in my group, I play that tape for them," said Whitt. "The room gets quiet. That's not how we play.
"We're going to play well. We've got to make sure we take care of vertical control first. It's a huge thing."
Whitt's father, Joe Sr., became the first African-American assistant at Auburn when he joined Pat Dye's staff in 1981. After 25 years coaching linebackers and the defensive line in addition to serving as assistant head coach, Whitt Sr. moved into the Tigers' athletic administration.
The son remembers well grading film with his dad at 8. Whitt, who has no hobbies, says he was born to be a coach. If Whitt isn't with his wife and two children, he's having a blast watching tape of other NFL teams with notebook at hand.
Earnest and ambitious, Whitt proved to be no shrinking violet after assuming the main cornerback post from longtime player Lionel Washington. McCarthy hired Whitt based on Thomas' recommendation and had no doubts he was ready for promotion in '09.
"He's not shy," said Williams. "Even though you got guys like Charles Woodson and Al Harris, you think, 'What can he tell those guys?' But he didn't see it that way. He feels you can coach up a player, and that's what he did."
Whitt acknowledged that at first Woodson didn't believe in him. According to Whitt, their relationship changed for good after the Week 8 upset loss against the Buccaneers last season.
"I treat Charles almost like a coach," Whitt said. "There's a great understanding in our room that everybody is held to a high standard and 'Wood' is treated differently than everybody else. Because he is different. But the way I treat him does not compromise what we're trying to do."
Whitt smiled when assessing his father's coaching style as "very loud." Yelling isn't a part of Whitt's modus operandi, but he's far more confrontational than Washington or former safeties coach Kurt Schottenheimer ever was.
"I'm very demanding of them, and at one point they had issues with it," said Whitt. "But Dom's defense is supposed to look a certain way, and if it doesn't, I don't live in excuses."
Asked to describe his professional manner, Whitt without hesitation said, "Blunt. Very blunt. There's no gray area."
A few years ago, Tomlin told Whitt about the value of shadowing high school teachers and incorporating their methods into pro football. So for the last three winters, whenever the staff was given a week off, Whitt returned to Auburn High School and observed teachers at every level.
When the Packers signed Shields as a free agent, Whitt was asked to develop a player not only with just one year's experience at cornerback but learning issues as well.
"I'm learning disabled," said Whitt. "I'm dyslexic. Growing up, I had to learn things differently. With some of my issues, I could relate to Sam. I taught him a little bit different, and it worked."
Shields was never very far from Whitt's purview in spring and summer. The soft-spoken Shields said Whitt never went too far, but the coach knew different.
"Sam used to hate me, I believe, because I used to stay on him," said Whitt. "I didn't want what happened to some first-round draft choices who had their confidence shot. So I made it so hard in practice that the regular season would be easy. Now I don't get on him as much because he understands what I'm talking about."
As for Williams, let's just say every coach would like tutoring him.
"My approach with Tramon is very mild because he's such a professional," said Whitt. "Other guys say, 'You never get on Tramon.' I tell them, 'If you did it that way, I wouldn't get on you, either.' "
Whitt doesn't concern himself with his players' injuries, fines or choice of cleats. His in-your-face style might not pass the test in every walk of life, but Whitt is convinced it's the only way to go in the NFL.
"Because I never lie," he said. "They don't necessarily have to agree with you, but they know that you're going to be honest with them.
"When I'm wrong, I tell them I'm wrong. And I do it in front of everybody."
