Break found in Rockland Township water main
ROCKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI-- Water may be coming back soon for residents in Ontonagon County's Rockland Township.
About 150 households have been without running water since early Saturday morning, when a water main break emptied the township's 200,000-gallon water tank.
Officials say they've located the leak and will work to refill the tank Wednesday. They note, however, that some residents may have to wait up to two more days for full restoration.
A boil advisory is in effect for the township until further notice.

We moved into The Old School premises in March 1996 and opened a small coffee house serving light snacks and refreshments.
In the next few years as more customers came, we found that the coffee room was not big enough for the demand, so in 2000 work commenced on extending the building with our 40-seater Conservatory Coffee House. This was sympathetically built with the existing window arches and interior stonework being retained as features, and the outside of the building being finished in stonework to match the older part of the building.
Our Conservatory Coffee House, with wait-on service, serves light refreshments. A selection of home baking, homemade soup and our homemade ice creams are available. Our luxury chocolate cake served slightly warmed with our homemade vanilla ice cream and our Kennedys Hot Chocolate are well established favourites.
Group bookings and coach parties are welcome, but prior notice is requested, if not essential, so that double bookings are avoided.
There are viewing windows in the cafe where you can see our chocolate makers at work, and a short video film shows the various processes. The main making days are Monday to Friday, with less going on in the production room at weekends. (We are sorry, but due to the small space and for health & safety reasons, factory tours are not possible).
Our Factory Shop and Coffee House are open Monday-Saturday 9am-5.00pm and Sundays (and Public Holidays) 11.00am - 5.00pm. (We are closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day Holidays). During the quiet month of January, our shop may not be open till 10am - but please check with us first. Last orders in our Coffee House are 30 minutes before the shop closing times. (The Coffee House can seat up to 40. There is wheelchair access and a disabled toilet facility).
Chocoholics welcome!

By: Dietrich Nissen
(ABC 6 News) -- Two big issues on Minnesota's ballot are constitutional amendment proposals. One requiring an ID at the polls, the other banning gay marriage. On Thursday, the GLBT community celebrated what is known as National Coming Out Day (NCOD).
NCOD is a way for gays and lesbians to reveal their sexuality, and on Thursday it was celebrated by a group in Rochester. This year the Gay and Lesbian Youth and Community Service groups highlighted the need to vote against the marriage amendment that would define marriage between one man and one woman.
Members say it's about providing everyone with equal rights. The group also wants to bring awareness to youth bullying, especially after a Rochester gay youth committed suicide last spring.
"We want to make sure we're doing everything possible to not limit the freedoms of everybody in Minnesota," says Gale Julius with Rochester's Gay and Lesbian Youth Service.
Supporters of the same-sex marriage amendment say they want to protect traditional marriage. They point out same-sex couples do not have the ability to produce children naturally and argue children are worse off without both a male and female parent.

Fleck, winner of fourteen Grammy Awards, is known for his innovative work with his instrument and his encyclopedic knowledge of various musical traditions, both evident on his recently released album The Imposter, which includes the complex work "Night Flight Over Water." The interplay between Fleck and the members of Brooklyn Rider-violinists Johnny Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen, violist Nicholas Cords, and cellist Eric Jacobsen-allows for "a unique exploration of the classical quintet form, as Fleck seeks to explore not only the possibilities for his own instrument as interloper and collaborator, but also a tonal and harmonic inquiry at once playful and sophisticated," writes an All Music reviewer.

While you're standing at the gas pump, watching the pennies on the meter whiz by and lamenting another $40 fillup, the folks at Exxon Mobil are dancing the jig at their Irving, Texas, headquarters.That's because for every minute you stood there gassing up your vehicle, the folks at Exxon made $75,000. That's right, $75,000 per minute ... or $1,250 per second ... or $108 million per day. Timing is everything in the oil business, and times have never been better. The uncertainty of the post-Sept. 11 era combined with Hurricane Katrina and the everlasting unrest in the oil-rich Mideast thrust Exxon to a record profit of $39.5 billion in 2006. That figure eclipses the previous record set in 2005 when company profits topped $36 billion - 10 percent growth. But let's not just pick on the Exxon people. Last week, ConocoPhillips reported a $15.5 billion profit that topped its 2005 record of $2 billion. Chevron also broke its previous high mark with earnings of $17.1 billion, $3 billion more than 2005. Meanwhile, the tank that used to take $25 to fill not all that long ago, now requires $40. But we've been conditioned to be happy with rising and falling gas prices. Like Pavlov's dogs, when the price drops under $2, we begin to salivate. Motorists are almost giddy as they pull into a station advertising regular unleaded for $1.88 per gallon. So the gas shortage and $4 per gallon prices that washed over us following Katrina did their jobs. We pay two bucks a gallon and say, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?" The faux euphoria loses luster, however, in light of the oilers' recent profit announcements. Most Americans understand the effects war, world politics and the weather have on the laws of supply and demand. And we don't mind the pain for these reasons. But when the oil companies roll in unbridled profits, it's clear we're being bamboozled. America will be a better, stronger nation as we become less dependent on foreign oil. It will not only free us from the whim of the Arab oil sheiks, it will also free us from the greed of the American oil baron. After all, in the time you took to read these thoughts, Exxon made another $110,000. Have any thoughts about this editorial? Share them with us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

LO struggled with reflux - we're still working on it - so perhaps that is part of the reason she hates tummy time. But even now where with thickened feeds and meds and timing things right she'll enjoy laying on her back in the play gym, she protests against tummy time.
I'm worried because she still doesn't lift her head easily while on her belly. She's 13 wks actual, 6 wks adjusted. She can lift it and turn to the side, but only briefly and most of the time she just "face plants". i.e. she muddles her face in the mat. :-( I thought this was a one month milestone, so I'm worried.
She is smiling and cooed for the first time today. She loves mobiles and bats at the toys in her gym. So on other things she seems ok. Her head/neck strength when I'm holding her is definitely improving. Just on her belly she doesn't get it!
When did your preemie hold her head up well while on her belly? Any advice for getting her to tolerate it better? I try talking to her and moving toys on her left/right. Sometimes I'll stabilize her arms and she does do better that way. But most of the time she starts crying after a few minutes. :-( Should I be worried? We see the ped Friday for her three month checkup.

Baird/STR Stock Index Rises 2.9% in August
The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index reported a 2.9-percent increase in August to 2,397 and is up 18.4 percent year-to-date 2012. The index ended 2011 at 2,025.
The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index reported a 2.9-percent increase in August to 2,397 and is up 18.4 percent year-to-date 2012. The index ended 2011 at 2,025.
Robert W. Baird & Company and STR partnered to create the Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index—the first widely available U.S. hotel stock index in the hotel industry. The index combines Baird's financial markets expertise, the data processing of STR and the up-to-the-minute distribution capabilities of HotelNewsNow.com, the industry's leading hotel news website.
The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index outperformed both the MSCI REIT (RMZ) (-0.4percent) and the S&P 500 (+2.0 percent) in August 2012.
"The hotel industry recorded favorable performance during August," said Randy Smith, co-founder and chairman of STR. "With the third quarter coming to a close, investors are starting to look toward 2013. STR is expecting 2012 to finish the year with reasonable increases though 2013 may be a softer year for the hotel industry."
"Macroeconomic news was light during August, and the risk-on trade worked well—a reversal from the previous three months when hotel stocks significantly underperformed the broader market and other real-estate sectors," said David Loeb, senior hotel research analyst and managing director at Baird. "August industry-wide (revenue-per-available-room) trends were solid in the 7-percent to 8-percent range, and investors have begun shifting their focus to 2013, given expectations for continued strength into year-end."
The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index was rebalanced on 24 August 2012 to account for the one-time special dividend distributed by Choice Hotels International.
About the Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index
The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index was set to equal 1000 on 1 January 2000, as its starting point. The Index reached its peak of 3178 on 5 July 2007. The Index's lowest point occurred on 6 March 2009, when it dropped to 573.
The Index is available exclusively on www.hotelstockindex.com and www.HotelNewsNow.com. The Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index is a co-branded index created by Robert W. Baird & Co. (Baird) and Smith Travel Research, Inc. (STR). The market-cap weighted Index is comprised of 15 of the largest market capitalization hotel companies publicly traded on a U.S. exchange and attempts to characterize the performance of hotel stocks. The Index is maintained by Baird and is hosted on HotelNewsNow.com. The Index is not actively managed and a direct investment cannot be made in it.
The current companies that comprise the Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index: Ashford Hospitality Trust, Choice Hotels International, DiamondRock Hospitality, FelCor Lodging Trust, Hersha Hospitality Trust, Hospitality Properties Trust, Host Hotels & Resorts, Hyatt Hotels, InterContinental Hotels Group, LaSalle Hotel Properties, Marriott International, Orient-Express Hotels, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Sunstone Hotel Investors and Wyndham Worldwide.

Chevy's social campaign around the game and the rivalry includes a series of 20 web videos that highlight the rivalry through interviews with players from both teams.
Its game-day platform includes placing huge red banners reminiscent of each club's color at all major entry points and other signage highlighting Chevy's vehicle line-up, which also will be on display at Old Trafford. Also, fans will be able to participate in on-site soccer-skill challenges and take a virtual photo of themselves with the team in the stadium's iconic dugout seats — and share them live from the stadium via social media. Fans also can use 3D photo-capture technology to tag themselves in a panoramic stadium photo, search for clues and prizes and participate in a social challenge beyond the day of the match.
The donation to One World Futbol includes Chevy's commitment to distribute 1.5 million project footballs to youth in disadvantaged communities around the world over three years, including the shipment this month of more than 100,000 balls to war-stricken and impoverished regions of Indonesia, Liberia, Malawi and other countries.

Negroni Cocktail 11 Nov 2010
8:28 pm
One of my favourite cocktails. I recommend going for a higher quality vermouth though, like "Antica Formula" if you can get it. I don't know if it's available in the US (I'm from Germany), but it's a big step up from the cheaper Cinzano or Martini & Rossi vermouths. The Campari's distinct flavour perhaps masks the CInzano, but if you try a higher quality vermouth once, you never want to go back , especially in other drinks that rely more on it, like the Manhattan. Cheers, Max

I am taking a few days off from chronicling my life, to live my life. I look forward to catching up on sleep, hanging out with my son, seeing friends, reading, resting, and simply not working. I wish you all a happy and healthy holiday, whatever holiday it is you celebrate. Be safe, be happy, and be kind. I will be back on Sunday rested, probably hung over, and ready to count down to the end of 2014. Have a great weekend everyone. Don't work too hard, enjoy the season, and keep the faith.

ELIZABETHTON — The committee organizing the centennial celebration of the Veterans Monument is searching for family members of Carter County veterans who were prisoners of war or missing in action.
So far, the committee has been unable to locate either the veteran or a family member to represent the following veterans:
Elizabethton City Archivist Joe Penza said the committee has had some success in locating family members through the process of "reverse genealogy."
Penza said reverse genealogy is different from regular genealogy because it starts with a known ancestor and traces documents forward to unknown family members instead of the usual method of beginning with known family members and using documents to find unknown ancestors. He said reverse genealogy is much more difficult because many records, such as census data, have not been released to the public.
The committee is requesting help from the public in order to have as many of these men as possible represented. To provide information on one of these veterans, call 543-5777, 913-0133 or 213-9818. The committee is attempting to get in touch with the veterans or their relatives before their Sept. 30 deadline.

Want to brighten up your lack-luster decor? How about adding a little neon? This 2012 color trend for Spring/Summer is big and bold. I can say from personal experience that neon done right is fun to use in your home decor. My first design project happened to include neon. When I was a teenager my mother trusted my budding design skills and let me choose the wallpaper for my newly remodeled bathroom. I can only imagine what she thought when I fell in love with a floral printed paper that included a bright shade of neon green combined with yellow, black and white. Sounds a little scary but it was incredibly striking-especially when it was combined with the neon green lattice printed wallpaper that we used on the ceiling. {Thanks Mom for having faith in my design style when I was only 16 years old! But looking back on it I think you were just a little crazy to trust me.}

Everyone would agree that neon colors really pop but they can be a little scary to use in home decor because of their intensity. A little goes a long way. Neon can be intimidating and some people are afraid to use it while others- who think they are being really brave in this color choice-will limit their neon use to a single tiny decorative accessory. However, if you are a real trend setter and want to go bold with neon you are going to want to follow a few rules.
Don't overdo it. You need to plan carefully where and how you will use it. Be aware of the background color palette of the room. Combine neon fabric covered pillows with simple neon painted chairs and add it to a white kitchen. Or you can simply have a singular neon item as a focal point in the room: a painted door, painted table legs or a painted piece of furniture .

Balance. Try to keep everything else in the space fairly neutral, or at least in the same color family (i.e., stick to shades of gray and white) to offset the neon colors. A dark gray color palette in your room looks great when paired with one color: like pink neon. A white color palette in your room room can handle a few more neon colors. It's all about having just the right amount of neon color in your room.

Don't be afraid to experiment. Try adding a simple piece of art to a wall or a rug with neon to your floor. Or a simple lamp at the side of your bed. Live with it to see if you like it. {Helpful hint: don't remove the price tags until you live with it for a few days to be sure that you are really committed to the neon.}

via bhg
If you decide to go bold and use a lot of neon, have a carefully orchestrated design plan. Each neon colored design element needs to be properly placed in the room to achieve the right amount of color intensity and balance. Too much neon will be sensory overload! Just the right amount will be stunning. There's a fine line between the two. If you don't know the difference between the two then I suggest you get some professional help.

Looking back on how I used neon color in the 70′s, I wouldn't go with neon in wallpaper. Instead I would find the most incredibly beautiful piece of furniture that "leans" towards neon and use it for a focal point in the room. I guess I'm not as brave as I used to be.

Testing Radeon HD 7970 Crossfire Scaling Performance in Stereo 3D
With the release of the Catalyst 12.2 WHQL drivers AMD has made available the official support for Crossfire in stereo 3D mode (previously only available in beta drivers) and as I've promised I did some testing to see how the Radeon HD 7970 will scale its performance in stereo 3D mode with a single and dual cards in Crossfire. I've used the 23-inch LG D2342P passive 3D monitor along with the TriDef 3D software as a middle-ware providing the stereo 3D support in games. Then a few more demanding in terms of performance games were ran with a single Radeon HD 7970 and with a dual HD 7970s in Crossfire in stereoscopic 3D mode and you can find the average framerate that was achieved below.
Test setup:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X79-UD3Games were tested on 1920Ã?1080 resolution with maximum detail settings and 4xAA enabled where available (AAA for Metro 2033 with DOF disabled), unless AA gets forced to disabled from the software in order to get better performance. Have in mind that the framerate in the table and graph is per eye, the graphics card actually needs to render twice that number of frames, so each eye gets a slightly different perspective in order to create the 3D image.
As you can see from the results when the Crossfire is working as it should in stereo 3D mode there is quite nice scaling in terms of performance when you add in a second video card. But considering the fact that the games used for testing are all popular titles and have been available for a while already there were some surprises. For example there was no scaling in terms of performance at all in Skyrim, Mafia II did not run in Crossfire by default, but when forced it worked just fine and scaled well, and F1 2011 was just crashing with Crossfire enabled. Also take a look at the average framerate achieved with a single card in stereo 3D mode, a bit on the edge for comfortable gamingâ?¦ meaning that you should compromise a bit on detail levels or extra filtering settings and that is the current flagship GPU from AMD. But still the addition of Crossfire support in stereo 3D mode is a good thing finally happening after a long wait, so now you can actually add a second card and get a performance boost over the not so good framerate you may be getting in stereo 3D mode, and up until a few months you could not do that. Now, another interesting question is how does the Radeon HD 7970 compare to the newly released GeForce GTX 680 in stereo 3D mode and I'm sure that there are a lot of people wondering about that alreadyâ?¦

In celebration of Earth Day 2012, Cultural Affairs and the Economic, Energy and Environmental Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa teamed up to deliver a series of seven presentations to over eight hundred elementary and intermediate school students in the Ottawa-Carleton area throughout the month of April.
Our team was accompanied by Larry the Lamprey, our preserved specimen of the invasive species—a lamprey eel, who sloshed about in a glass tube inviting a reaction of fascinated disgust wherever he went.
The presentations were interactive as students had opportunity to ask questions and learn about the impact of people, pollution and industry on the environment. The impact we each have as individuals on the health and vitality of this planet was the focus, as our experts spoke about waste produced through garbage and the energy and water that we can each take the responsibility to minimize use.
Topics included an overview of the history of Earth Day, the devastating impact of invasive species, and continued environmental concerns as well as to improvements to water and wildlife protection. A comparison of how families in China, India, Mali, Japan and the U.S. each impact the earth through their use of materials and goods was eye opening to students as each family was shown photographed amidst a gathering of all their worldly possessions. Finally, students were encouraged to think about how their own schools can become more eco-efficient, and to share stories as to what each of us can do to minimize our own ecological footprint.
At every school visit the U.S. Embassy donated a world environment set of Scholastic books to the school library enabling students the continued opportunity to expand their learning on a vast range of topics on environmental sustainability.

By Cpl. Shawn C. Rhodes, USMCSpecial to American Forces Press Service
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C., Jan. 28, 2005 "When my drill instructor came charging out asking, 'Who's the joker who thinks he's from the North Pole?' I knew I was in for it," Sgt. Brian F. Shelton, a Marine with 2d Tank Battalion here, said.
"I explained to him that I really was from North Pole, Alaska, and had to show him my driver's license before he would believe me."
Shelton, a field wireman with 2nd Marine Division, is the man responsible for making sure people in the field and in garrison can communicate with each other. He's responsible for setting up the lines of communication for his unit.
"Things have come a long way since field wiremen had spools of wire hooked to their backs. Some things have changed, and some haven't," 25-year-old Shelton said.
The 5-foot-9-inch Marine spends most of his day inside a wire cage, maintaining his unit's gear or working on their cryptological equipment. Where many people would be depressed at having to spend their day in a cage, Shelton just sees as a nice alternative to where his life could have led.
"I was what you'd call a 'troubled youth'," Shelton said with a smile. "I was skipping class a lot, being disrespectful to my parents and I knew my life was headed in a bad direction."
Shelton was a member of the Air Force Junior ROTC unit at North Pole High School and had every intention of enlisting into the Air Force. He said one session with a Marine Corps recruiter changed his mind.
"My job for the unit here is very important and I wouldn't do anything else," he said. "My job not only involves providing communication for everyone but I keep them safe too."
When in the field the command operations center is set up away from the radio antennas, Shelton said.
"We set up the COC away from the 'ant farm' of antennas because an enemy can triangulate their position and if they attack it, we don't want our commanders to be in the same spot," he noted.
The Alaskan is known for helping people and taking charge in his unit. His superiors see him as the type of Marine they would want more of.
"Anytime I need something done, I know he is a reliable Marine to give the job to," said Gunnery Sgt. Stephen M. Urban, the Electronic Key Systems Management manager for the battalion. "When he gives his Marines an order you know it's going to be accomplished. I wished we had more Marines like him in the Corps."

Lipstick Comparisons: $26 to $34 (Part 1)
Lipstick Comparisons: $26 to $34 (Part 1)
Though often lumped into high-end, this is a tier made up of designer brands like Chanel, Dior, and YSL. Most higher-end/designer lipsticks are scented, usually with floral or fruit. Rose seems to be the most prevalent scent found in brands across the board; sometimes it's subtle (Chanel), while other times it's heavy (Dolce & Gabbana). I find designer range lipsticks to be non-drying to moisturizing with more opaque formulas overall. Packaging is often nicer, but it's not always the case and is, inevitably, very personal.
Burberry Lip Cover ($30.00)
- PROS: Creamy, opaque, long-wearing (4 to 6 hours), universally wearable shade range
- NEUTRAL: 0.13 oz., no out of the box shades, heavily rose-scented
- CONS: Hard to find in stores
- MY REC: One characteristic that I think is noteworthy is Burberry Lip Covers are exceptionally well designed with a lot of attention paid to the details, from the gunmetal packaging to the magnetic closure to the etched check pattern on the lipstick itself. The shade range seems very flattering across skin tones with a good variety of pinks, nudes, and reds.
Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick ($30.00)
- PROS: Semi-opaque to opaque, moisturizing, long-wearing (4 to 6 hours), nice shade range
- NEUTRAL: 0.12 oz., slightly rose-scented
- CONS: Mostly cream/satin finishes
- MY REC: I love how pigmented Rouge Allures are, and I find them comfortable wear; they wear for several hours and never leave my lips feeling dry. Sometimes I wish they'd make more (or some) Rouge Allures with shimmery finishes, too; it is a range dominated by satin/creamy finishes.
Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick ($30.00)
- PROS: Lightweight, smooth, semi-opaque, many shades available but mostly wearable shades, wears 4 hours on average
- NEUTRAL: 0.12 oz., slight rose-vanilla scent, no out of the box shades
- CONS: Mostly shimmery/frosty finishes
- MY REC: This is probably the least moisturizing lipstick by Chanel, though it's not at all drying, but it won't heal up dry or cracked lips by any means. Rouge Coco excels in being a very wearable shade range with a lightweight formula that doesn't quite feel like your average lipstick.
Chanel Rouge Allure Laque ($32.00 for )
- PROS: Glossy, creamy, opaque, long-wearing (4 to 6 hours), easy to apply
- NEUTRAL: 0.20 oz., slightly rose-scented
- CONS: Short shade range, limited finishes
- MY REC: I almost didn't include these, as they're more of a liquid lipstick than the traditional bullet lipsticks that dominate this series. It's one of my favorite lip formulas of all time, though, because it's very comfortable to wear.
Dior Dior Addict Lipstick ($26.00)
- PROS: Creamy, semi-sheer to semi-opaque, wears for an average of 4 hours
- NEUTRAL: 0.12 oz., heavily rose-scented
- CONS: Short shade range with mostly pinks/reds
- MY REC: The lipstick doesn't feel drying but not overly moisturizing, and it only wears for an average length of time on me (4 hours), so for a higher-end lipstick, I'm not totally sold on it.
Dior Serum de Lipstick ($32.00)
- PROS: Creamy, glossy, moisturizing, semi-opaque, several shades available (mostly wearable)
- NEUTRAL: 0.07 oz., scented but it's quite faint (indeterminable)
- CONS: Very little for the money, wears off within 1 to 2 hours
- MY REC: These are comparable to Cle de Peau's Extra Silky Lipsticks (which retail for $52); they're not quite as good (particularly when it comes to wear), but they're still very similar. It's a moisturizing formula, but given that you get very little in each (just 0.07 oz., a little over half your average lipstick) and it needs frequent reapplication, it'll add up quickly.
Dolce & Gabbana Classic Cream Lipstick ($30.00)
- PROS: Creamy, opaque, long-wearing (4 to 6 hours)
- NEUTRAL: 0.13 oz., heavily rose-scented
- CONS: Mostly cream/satin finishes
- MY REC: Not as moisturizing as the Shine formula but more pigmented in return. It also wears a little longer on average. The Classic Cream formula has the same heavy rose-scent, though.
Dolce & Gabbana Shine Lipstick ($30.00)
- PROS: Creamy, glossy, semi-opaque to opaque shade range with wearable and some "fun" colors, moisturizing, wears 4 hours on average
- NEUTRAL: 0.13 oz., heavily rose-scented
- CONS: May be difficult to find in-stores
- MY REC: Other than it being harder to check out in person (and worse yet, Saks doesn't have a great cosmetic return policy last I checked), I've had a lot of success with their Shine Lipsticks. They're moisturizing and have lots of color pay off. I think the biggest complaint I've seen from others who have tried this lipstick is the scent (very strong).
The Lipstick Comparisons series is designed to provide a quick reference summary sheet for some of the many available lipstick formulas. It seems like most brands have at least a couple of formulas, if not half a dozen, and it can be difficult to find the formulas that will work best for your budget, coloring, style, or taste.
This is not necessarily a best of list, and it's not exhaustive–it is based on actual lipsticks that I've tried; they are all, however, decent to excellent lipsticks. (And perhaps, some day, it will be an exhaustive list.) I have summarized my experience based on pros and cons, but also some "neutral" factors that may be pros or cons, depending on your preferences. I will update this series as I try new lipstick formulas.

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2005 Praising the warriors he calls "the silent professionals," Vice President Richard B. Cheney culminated International Special Forces Week here June 10, providing closing remarks for U.S. Special Operations Command's annual conference - the first to include international partners in the global war on terror.
More than 70 nations, including Iraq and Afghanistan, participated in the conference at the Tampa Convention Center.
Cheney noted his longstanding admiration for the work of special operations forces.
"I had my first dealings with special ops while serving in the House of Representatives, when many years ago I visited Fort Bragg (N.C.) and saw a demonstration by Delta (counterterrorism force)," he said.
"Later, as secretary of defense, I saw the skills of our special operations forces in action from Panama to the Persian Gulf. And in my current role, serving with President Bush, I see regular evidence of your unparalleled skill, your ingenuity and your daring. Every single day SOCOM confirms its reputation as a small command that produces big results for the United States of America."
Earlier in the day, the vice president met with SOCOM and U.S. Central Command leaders for an update on various operations. He noted the evident joint service and multinational cooperation in those operations, saying he was "thoroughly impressed by the focus and the professionalism" of U.S. forces and the strong relationships they have built with host nations.
Cheney told the audience that before traveling to the convention center, he had presented several medals to special operations personnel at nearby MacDill Air Force Base.
"I presented the Silver Star, Bronze Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and a Distinguished Service Cross to special operators from the Army, the Navy and the Air Force," the vice president said. "I consider it a great honor to award these medals -- but even more of an honor to have met the men who have earned them. To hear the citations is to be reminded of the absolute centrality of special operations for the global war on terror, and of the leadership, quick reactions, precision and steadfastness that characterizes these elite, carefully selected warriors."
When the global war on terror began, Cheney recalled, President Bush said it would be a different kind of war. "It may, he said, include dramatic strikes, visible on television, and covert operations, secret even when successful," the vice president said. "Special ops have been vital to answering some of the fundamental challenges of this war -- fighting the enemy on its own turf (and) supplying a model for transformation, not only for our military, but also for coalition partners."
A terror network acquiring weapons of mass destruction "and thereby gaining the power to kill hundreds of thousands, and to blackmail entire nations," poses the biggest threat to civilization today, Cheney said. "In the face of such a danger, free nations must act decisively to defend ourselves against attack, yet we also understand that this war cannot be won on the defensive," he added, and he emphasized the need for multinational cooperation in defeating the terrorist threat.
"We are dealing with a network that has cells in countries all over the world," he said. "Yet bit by bit, by diplomacy, through intelligence cooperation, police work, and the spread of democratic institutions, we are acting to shrink the area in which the terrorists can operate freely."
Nations fighting terror, he said have been enforcing a clear doctrine that "governments that support or harbor terrorists are complicit in the murder of the innocent, and equally guilty of terrorist crimes."
"We gave ultimatums to the brutal regimes led by the Taliban and Saddam Hussein -- and when those regimes defied the demands of the civilized world, we acted to remove them from power and to liberate their people," he said, and much of the credit belongs to special operations forces.
"At every stage of this conflict, we have looked to the special operations forces to carry out the most perilous, most technical, most time-sensitive, and least visible missions," the vice president said. "When you have enemies that are hidden, diffuse, secret in their movements, asymmetrical in their tactics, the only alternative is to find out exactly where they are, and then to go in and get them -- one at a time, if necessary."
In contrast to the conventional Cold War military strategy of massing large forces at borders, today's security environment often requires "small teams of men searching caves, going over mountain peaks and walking along narrow ledges in the pitch-black night," Cheney said. "And for that kind of work, we turn to the 'silent professionals.'"
Noting that special operations forces were "the first boots on the ground" in Afghanistan, Cheney said they overcame extreme obstacles.
"Operating by their wits, their intelligence and their cultural knowledge, they went to the far corners of Afghanistan, built relationships with anti-Taliban forces, engaged enemy holdouts, and designated high-value targets for the bombing campaign," he said. "They also linked the technology of the 21st century with the transportation modes of the ancient world -- riding horseback on wooden saddles, painting targets with lasers, and calling in precision air strikes from hundreds of miles away. In the space of about seven weeks, despite all the obstacles we understood going in, the regime was destroyed and the Afghan people were set free."
Later, in Iraq, he said, special ops teams worked with Kurdish opposition forces to secure the northern front, and they destroyed Scud missile launchers in the west. "Once again, the contributions of special ops were critical to the swift downfall of a regime -- and a strutting dictator went from a palace to a bunker to a spider hole to a prison cell." Special operations forces still are hard at work in Afghanistan and Iraq, Cheney said.
"In the continuing hunt (in Afghanistan) for al Qaeda, we have men working at high altitudes in the mountain range above Kandahar and Jalalabad -- often operating at the upper limits of human endurance -- moving calmly and patiently to deliver justice to the terrorists," he said. "And in both Iraq and Afghanistan, we are helping to train local security forces, so that those nations can eventually take on the responsibility for their own security."
Special operations forces, Cheney said, are demonstrating the value of transforming military forces from the Cold War posture to a new model for facing the threats of the 21st century.
"In Iraq and Afghanistan -- and in other places where the fight against terror is less talked about, but still critical -- such as the Philippines, the Balkans, Colombia, and the Pan Sahel region of Africa -- special ops units have provided a glimpse of the kind of force we want to build for the future," he said. "A military that was designed for the mid-to-late 20th century needs to be a force that is lighter, more adaptable, more agile, and more lethal in action.
"Our country's military is going to build upon traditional advantages such as technological superiority, our ability to project force across great distances and our precision strike capabilities," he continued. "Our transformed military will stress rapid reaction and reward new thinking, breaking down old information stovepipes, and placing greater emphasis on jointness of operations."
The vice president noted that among the Special Forces Week discussions were the ways terrorists and weapons or drug traffickers try to exploit the seams between governments, and how to close up those seams through better communication and joint operations. "This is going to be a critical challenge going forward," he said, "as we move against shadowy enemies in many countries and a variety of environments, from urban areas to jungle to desert."
The multinational audience in Tampa illustrates both the world's diversity and the common interest of the nations represented, the vice president noted. "None of us wants to turn over the future of mankind to tiny groups of fanatics committing indiscriminate murder and plotting large-scale horror," he said. "And so we must direct every resource necessary to defending the peace and freedom of our world, and the safety of the people we serve. That's the commitment of the United States that we've made to ourselves and to other nations. And with good allies at our side, we will see this cause through to victory."
Cheney noted the variety of skills involved in special operations. "It is difficult to put into words the intensity of your training, the hazards of your hardest assignments, and the speed of thought and action that are needed at the tip of the spear," he said. "You are the ones who can go into unfamiliar territory and become part of the environment -- preparing battle spaces, learning languages and cultures, building relationships, and picking up intelligence.
"Special ops are the ones who hunt down, engage, kill and capture enemies," he continued, "yet also set up hospitals, call in humanitarian aid, and help villages to become self-sufficient -- leaving behind you men, women, and children who feel gratitude for your kindness and good will for our country. Special ops, it's been said, play every role from warrior to physician to diplomat to engineer. And at times you have to switch from one role to other in the blink of an eye."
But special operators, he noted, do that work under a blanket of secrecy. "It's also in the nature of your business that the best work goes unrecognized until years after the fact, if ever, and we may never know all the grief that has been spared because of you," he said. "I can only say, with complete certainty, that your efforts are paying off -- and today all of us live in a world made safer by your actions."
