Who knew a computer could fit inside a pen? Thankfully for this job, I now do! Smartpens, for those of you who are unfamiliar, are capable of a wide range of capabilities. Many of them have tiny infrared cameras inside that allow for the synchronization of your writing samples with the audio. You can tap on your written word and hear a playback of what was being spoken when you wrote it! When you sync the pen with your computer, your writing samples upload and you no longer need to worry about losing a notebook or getting caught in the rain and damaging it! And let's say you are going to have a quiz focusing on John Kennedy. You can simply type in John Kennedy and anywhere in your notes those words are found will be highlighted. There are several applications already available on them, such as emailing directly from your written sample to a translator that can take your written sample and translate it into another language for you. I see limitless potential for this type of product! Some pens that are already on the market and revolutionizing note-taking include Livescribe's Pulse, Sony Ericsson's CHA-30, Nokia's SU-1B and Logitech's io.

Move over, BigRedKitty. For January, BigRedPriestess is the new hotness with Wild Winter Pilsner. When you take a swig of the brew, you will sometimes get a buff: The Beast Within. It doesn't have the crazy powerful effect of the actual Hunter ability, but it does turn you big and red, and the buff lasts 5 minutes. When the buff wears off (or you click it off yourself), you'll Unleash the Beast. You roar, and give everyone's screen a little shake. Yes, everyone nearby, not just your screen.
It's not a huge effect, so it won't make you ill when everyone nearby is getting plastered, but it's definitely something you'll notice. I had fun freaking out all of the lowbies in Ironforge on New Year's Day when this first hit the vendor. Yeah, you heard that right BRK. My BigRedPriestess can move the world. Can your eccentric flamboyancy do that? Huh? No, I didn't think so.
For a little bonus trivia, you might be amused by the fact that Pilsners are named after their place of origin, here on Earth. Pilsners probably wouldn't exist in Azeroth, at least not by that name. Does it matter much? Not really, but maybe you'll find it interesting.

Classic American style and the letterman jacket
There was a time when the letterman jacket was reserved solely for high school athletes (and high school athlete posers), and was used as a status symbol – a letterman jacket meant you were automatically part of the cool kid in crowd. After graduation though, anything associated with high school becomes instantly marked with the un-cool stick, and so wearing a letterman jacket becomes a clear way to mark yourself as a social outcast. This year though, the letterman jacket is coming back in a big way. Here we break down how to make this style item help you look your best:
Men's Letterman Jacket
The men's letterman jacket harkens back to a classic American style, and evokes images of high school football games and simpler times. Because of this association with what we colloquially call Americana, this style of coat is part of a certain "preppy" look, and most certainly carries with it some very specific connotations. Among these is the sort of casual swagger epitomized by icons like James Dean. For that reason the letterman jacket can safely be paired with a fitted pair of jeans and sneakers (Chuck Taylor's are great for this purpose). There's really no need to mess with a good thing and you won't go wrong emulating this classic style.
For a more urban look, you can pair with some high-top sneakers and a flat rimmed baseball cap – we still recommend fitted jeans however. Avoid baggy unless your goal is looking sloppy.

Boy. Man. God. Fluff: My Life In The Church Of Phish (Part One)
Jesse Lauter is a music producer, engineer, and mixer who has worked with The Low Anthem, Elvis Perkins, Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), James Blood Ulmer, Blind Pilot, Marco Benevento, Surprise Me Mr. Davis, and Dawes. He is currently producing a tribute album to Bob Dylan's overlooked 1980s catalog, featuring Bob Weir with members of The National, Gene Ween & Slash, Built To Spill, Craig Finn (The Hold Steady), Deer Tick, Carl Broemel (My Morning Jacket), Blitzen Trapper, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Langhorne Slim, Reggie Watts, and Widespread Panic.
In this two-part essay he offers an extended look at his longtime musical relationship with Phish as well as his take on the group's recent West Coast tour.
I saw my first Phish show when I was eight. A few years prior, my older sister Rachel introduced me to the band with their first album, Junta. As a kid, my favorite bedtime "story" was Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky," so nonsense-songs like "Reba," fables of weasels named Fee, and tone poems like "Divided Sky" played to my highly active sense of fantasy. I was like Cameron Crowe's character in Almost Famous, lucky to have an older sister who turned me on to something that would completely alter the course of my life.
Rachel and I tag-teamed and prodded our dad to take us to one of their shows. He caved and chaperoned the two of us and three friends on November 9th, 1995 to Atlanta's Fox Theatre. So I saw the band in the fall of 1995, perhaps their most celebrated tour, just before they graduated from clubs and theaters to arenas and amphitheaters. Baring witness to Phish playing in 1995 is something I'm very proud of. There is no doubt in my mind this concert was the catalyst for my decision to dedicate myself to music.
As I grew older, Phish assisted my musical discoveries. I spent all my allowance on CDs and many of my purchases were informed by Phish's influences. If you don't know much about Phish, I like to describe them as a "consummate music-lover's band." Trey Anastasio (guitar), Mike Gordon (bass), Page McConnell (keys) and Jon Fishman (drums) are musical omnivores. With the combination of their musical prowess and cornucopia of influences, they are first-rate genre-benders. Cosmic explorers of music history if you will.
In the format of a rock quartet, Phish hits upon almost every genre-- funk, classical, bluegrass, electro, Latin, hip-hop, reggae, barbershop, the avant-garde, gospel. You name it, Phish plays it, and for the most part, with great consistency. Despite what some critics may think, they have exceptional original songs. Some are instrumental epics. Some are goofy ditties. Some are standard and serious. That being said, Phish covers other peoples' material more than your average band at their shows.They cover classic rock (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Little Feat, Frank Zappa), "old cool bands" (Talking Heads, The Velvet Undergound), "new cool bands" (TV On The Radio, Apples In Stereo), jazz standards, and traditional bluegrass. They are probably the only band in the history of rock that can respectfully cover the James Gang, Dizzy Gillespie, Bob Marley, and Bill Monroe in one night while playing their own original material. Simply look at the laundry-list of legendary artists they've shared the stage with and you'll understand the breadth of ground they've treaded upon. Phish's telescope has looked at the entire universe of music and in turn created its own musical solar system.
But I'm not really here to describe their sound to you. I'm here to tell you about my story with Phish and my thoughts on this misunderstood band and their fans as I embarked on their west coast tour this past summer.
A thing to note in my "Phishistory" is that I had a pretty significant gap between my first and second show. The next time I saw Phish was on March 1, 2003 in Greensboro, North Carolina. After my first Phish experience, my parents wouldn't let me go to the Atlanta show the following year in 1996 (the celebrated Halloween show at The Omni where they covered Talking Heads' Remain In Light in its entirety) and missed every local show thereafter due to summer camp. So in the nearly eight years between my first and second Phish experience, I took it upon myself to learn everything I could about this band. I spent hundreds of hours dubbing tapes and CDs (on a 1x burner), kept The Phish Companion (the penultimate encyclopedia of the band's history, including all their setlists) by my toilet, was a consistent poster on "The Rhombus" (a now-defunct online community for fans to discuss everything Phish), learned Trey's solos by rote or comped rhythm guitar to bootlegs, and became invested in music theory and composition. This was all before I got my driver's license.
I caught the Greensboro show and then went to two more at Mountain View, California's Shoreline Amphitheater on July 9 & 10, 2003. During that run however, something felt off. The band wasn't the same. This wasn't the Phish that was the source of my inspirations, the one that made me fall in love with music. Much has been said about this period just before "the break up," and I was too young to understand the issues they were experiencing off the stage. Those problems were clearly translating on the stage, and in the end, I gave up on them. I stopped listening and caring about Phish one year before they called it quits in 2004.
ok, I'm hoooked. Don't tease
"They are probably the only band in the history of rock that can respectfully cover the James Gang,Dizzy Gillespie,Bob Marley and Bill Monroe in one night while playing their own original material".
A point to be made about this ridiculous comment.At the very least the Grateful Dead who covered and included varying styles of music in their performances in a "rock concert" setting were doing this since 1970.
"an extremely significant band in rock history with a legacy that is revealing itself more as time passes".
I am at a loss for even a single worthy contribution to music history.Insulting stupid lyrics,bad vocals,a hack drummer,a weak white boy wanna be funk bass player,a dull,unimaginative,practiced sounding guitarist and a mediocre keyboard player does not add up to significant anything.Trampolines and the meatstick dance make it hard to take them seriously.
"I often Phish is like the John Coltrane Quartet for contemporary rock".
Phish isn't even like the Kenny G of contemporary rock.To mention these Dead/Zappa wanna be copycats in the same breath as John Coltrane is ludicrous.
You folks at Relix should be ashamed to have published such a lame piece in your publication.
TomG obviously has strong opinions that we must all submit to. His negatively-biased views and ad hominem attacks only add to its brilliance.
Tom G clearly has not spent much time listening to Phish. Ass-hats like him just repeat dumb stereotypes or listen to one song to form their entire opinion. Sweet meltdown Tom.
Randy likes it
Sweet melt Tom!
I agree with you about Phish "not being the same band" in 2003 and 2004. I started seeing Phish in the late '90's and they were amazing and very tight on up through and until their hiatus in 2000. However, in 2003 and 2004 they were very sloppy, not tight, and not at all into it. I can even remember being at a show in Raleigh, NC in 2003 and seeing Trey and Mike bickering about something between each other between songs onstage. I then went to see them one last time in 2004 in Hampton, VA, one last time, since they had announced their break-up. From the very first song ("Chalkdust Torture"), things were off. The jam went on to be something around 13min, which is fine, but it went nowhere. All four members were just kind of looking at each other, lost. I didn't feel like they found their groove until the end of the second set, which was unfortunate, when the played "David Bowie" and "Contact". I was very disappointed since this is a band I have been listening to since around '93, '94. Then, when they announced their comeback tour in 2009, I had to go see them and give them another chance, because I had seen what they were capable of before their "issues", and knew at this point that they were once again, sober. I went to the Knoxville, TN show and they once again reminded me of why I have been listening to them all these years. They were tight, together, into it, etc. I have since been seeing them as often as I can. The last being both nights of Merriweather Post in Columbia, MD of the 2013 Summer tour and once again, they delivered.
I always say it's a church. It's why I got so mad at "second city" Chicago '13. Do not bring your political issues, that are dividing our country, on our stage to use as your soapbox. Infuriating!

Love the work by the way. Good going.
Just like in drumming, learning your craft is important and so is integrating and applying it to the context in which it lives. When you push yourself to master the mechanics of making good photos while managing the personalities and logistics it accelerates the process of you developing your own point of view with your photography.

I was the most inspired when I was doing primarily editorial assignments. The irony is that journalism is a brutal profession and can often be very uninspiring. I don't know if I've LOST everything to get my commercial career stable, but it did COST everything. I've had to reoutfit (or turnover) all my gear probably 5 times in over 20 years in the biz.
I've said it before. I'll say it again and my back agrees with this. Being a photographer and a drummer is stupid. I should have been a writer and a flute player. ;-)

Exclusive Premiere: Upon Wings — "Take Away"
Exclusive Premiere: Upon Wings — "Take Away"
Related Content
Today, GuitarWorld.com is proud to bring you the exclusive premiere of "Take Away," a song from Upon Wings' Afterlife EP, which is due out Tuesday, March 5, via Sword of the Spirit Records.
The EP features guest vocals and production from Brett Hestla (Dark New Day, former Creed), guitars and production from Canadian-based musician Kevin Jardine and drums by Peter Tzaferis. Kid Rock recording engineer Glenn Brown mastered and co-produced the EP.
On "Take Away," frontwoman Anne Autumn Erickson had this to say: "Musically, the song is one of the more symphonic-sounding tracks on the EP. Kevin's layered guitar presence worked really well with the vocal lines, plus Peter's thick drum sound. Lyrically, the idea of the song is that you have that person or faith in your life on which you lean. It's saying, 'You take me to a better place in this world.'"
Recording sessions for the EP's single, "Afterlife," took place at Johnny K's Groovemaster Studios in Chicago, where Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, Staind and many others have recorded. More sessions took place in the band's home state of Michigan, Hestla's Florida studio and Jardine's Canada studio.
Learn more about Upon Wings at their official website, on Facebook and on Twitter.

Wind turbines: Ingleside gets $20M plant
INGLESIDE - The federal government has named Ingleside home to a $20 million wind turbine and blade-testing facility -- a welcome shot of economic adrenaline for a community losing a major Navy base.
Ingleside will be one of two sites announced by Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman as receiving $2 million apiece to develop the next generation of wind turbines. The other testing facility will be at the Boston Autoport in Boston Harbor. Both facilities are estimated at $20 million.
While the facility is expected to create only six to 10 permanent jobs, compared to the 7,015 jobs expected to be lost with the closure of Naval Station Ingleside in 2010, local economic officials expect the facility to generate related businesses.
"What we hope will happen is that there will be spinoff industry to manufacture the blades or provide support technology for the site and that will be a plus for area," said Josephine Miller, executive director of the San Patricio County Economic Development Council. "People will want to be near the testing facility. We've been told that up to 20 industries may want to relocate to this area to be near the facility."
Miller didn't know how many construction jobs would be generated. She said she was glad to see a piece of industrial property unused in about 10 years be put to providing jobs for families.
Blade testing is required to meet design standards, reduce machine costs and reduce the technical and financial risks of the projects, according to the Department of Energy. Miller said private companies are testing blades, but Ingleside and the Boston Autoport will be the first to test blades for the government.
The goal is for the facilities to have the capacity to test blades as long as 330 feet -- the length of a football field minus one end zone. Blade testing is required to meet wind turbine design standards.
Commonly known as the ARCO property, the 23 acres where the facility will be located were donated by British Petroleum and include docks and access to La Quinta Ship Channel and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. BP also donated $250,000 for facility operation costs. The Legislature approved $5 million for the 150,000-square-foot facility.
"This is the birth of a new industry here in Texas," Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said. "Once we build these test facilities, the wind turbine and blade manufacturers will come. I think there will be plenty of business for both Texas and Massachusetts to come out winners."
Port of Corpus Christi officials said they hope the new facility will bring name recognition to the area.
"The goal is that companies start manufacturing turbines here and start using the port to develop logistics and move the product out of here," said John Valls, marketing director for the port. "It hopefully will bring recognition to the area, and it will become a center of wind energy. They will be able to build them, test them and distribute them from here efficiently."
Valls, who attended the American Wind Energy Convention and Expo, said he received response from company officials who considered Corpus Christi an ideal site with potential for wind energy growth.
The Texas bid for the test facility was led by the Lone Star Wind Alliance, a Texas-led coalition of universities, government agencies, including the General Land Office and corporate partners assembled to prepare the proposal for submission to the federal government. The alliance pledged $18 million in state and private funding.
Private wind turbine and blade manufacturers are expected to fund the operations of the facility within five years of its construction. Texas and Massachusetts were selected among six applications.
"It is exciting that in Texas we are taking the lead in research and development," said Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, in a prepared statement. "This announcement will bring cutting-edge research and equipment to our Gulf Coast and will help create the next generation of wind energy for Texas and the nation."
According to the American Wind Energy Association, Texas is a leader in wind power development, with more than 2,700 megawatts installed at the end of 2006 and about 1,000 megawatts under construction.
Sen. John CornynR-Texas, said the testing facility would help local economies in Texas as well as provide alternatives for growing energy demands.
"Wind energy is one of the cleaner, alternative energy sources that we must continue pushing. Increasing development and production of these sources will help reduce our dependence on foreign oil and meet our growing energy demands, while doing so in an environmentally friendly way."

Democrats Make Final Attempt at Medicaid Expansion
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) – Maine lawmakers will finish their legislative session with a familiar debate: whether to accept federal dollars to provide health care coverage to roughly 70,000 low-income people under the federal health care law.
House Speaker Mark Eves of North Berwick is introducing a measure Thursday under which the state would apply for a waiver from the federal government and expand Medicaid coverage for one year.
If successful in obtaining the waiver, the state would use the funds to cover roughly 55,000 of those people in private plans on the federal exchange. Another 20,000 would remain in the Medicaid program.
It's similar to a measure recently signed by New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan.
Three other attempts to expand Medicaid in Maine under the Affordable Care Act have failed.

Within the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the M-Class is the third-best-selling model behind the C-Class and the E-Class. Last redesigned for the 2012 model year, the M-Class lineup includes the ML350 with a V-6 engine, ML350 BlueTec with a turbo-diesel engine, ML550 with a V-8 engine, and the ML63 AMG, a high-powered performance model. All are designed to seat a maximum of 5 passengers, and prices start at $47,790.

UPDATE: St. Louis Police Activate Violent Offense Team Following Recent Shootings
Categories: The Big Bloody (Homicides)
Original post follows...
Operating on intelligence that a rash of recent shootings may be related, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department today activated its Violent Offense Team.
The 30-person unit will work in 24-hour shifts over the next several days to gather intelligence that can lead to arrests and charges against suspected offenders.
Police believe that multiple homicides over the last two weeks may be related, perhaps tied to the same suspects involved in an ongoing dispute.
Last night one person was killed in three separate shootings. The night before, six people were shot in four separate incidents.
Police urge anyone with information about any crime to call CrimeStoppers at 1-866-371-TIPS. Calls are anonymous, and CrimeStoppers does not subscribe to caller ID. Callers who provide information that leads to an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward.

Women's Soccer Controls Game
Hulbert scores off free kick

HAMBURG, NY- On Wednesday, October 21, Hilbert women's soccer hosted an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) game at 3 pm against the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. The Hawks from Hilbert controlled a good portion of the second 45 minutes, but allowed 2 goals off only 3 second half shots, and Bradford (9-6, 3-6) pulled out of town with a 2-1 victory over Hilbert (6-8-2, 3-6).
The first 45 minutes of the game statistically was even (shots by period, corner kicks, saves by period, and fouls). Neither team was able to get the better of the opposing goalie creating a 0-0 score at half time.
The game's first goal was scored by Bradford's Michelle Centola 13 minutes into the second half. She was unassisted on her kick past Hilbert's Mary Zinni (Batavia, NY/Batavia). Less than ten minutes later, Alyssa Hulbert (Tonawanda, NY/Kenmore East) {photo to right} scored her fourth goal of the season off a free kick from about 30 yards out, tying the score 1-1.
From that moment on, Hilbert went on the attack and were constantly pressuring the ball and working for good shots. The effort which the Hawks displayed forced Bradford to step up their energy level, but they weren't playing at the same speed as Hilbert. Statistically the Hawks dominated the second half in shots (11-3), and Bradford tried to match Hilbert's efforts but they were called for 14 fouls. Even with the 6 shots fired at Bradford's keeper (Alisa Cornell) after their first goal, the Hawks couldn't find the back of the net. It took one shot by Bradford's Lindsay Sherman at the 80 minute mark to put her team up for good.
Hilbert travels to La Roche College on Saturday, October 24th for their last AMCC conference game before play-offs begin on October 31st. Hilbert has secured the last spot in the 7-team play-off pool (Franciscan is the only team not eligible for the conference tournament due to the fact that they are provisional members of the NCAA and ineligible for the automatic qualifier to national tournament should they win the AMCC championship). On Tuesday, October 27th, the Hawks will find out who and where they travel to after the last date of AMCC conference games are played. The Hawks have a bye in the conference schedule this day, but they are playing a home, non-conference game against Ursuline College out of Cleveland, OH.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

We studied the reversal properties of perpendicularly magnetized nanodot arrays down to 50 nm in diameter. When continuous films undergo nanopatterning the phenomenon of a switching field distribution (SFD) becomes significant whereby the reversal fields from nanostructure-to-nanostructure vary. In applications such as patterned storage media, a broad SFD is undesirable since all nanostructures will not reliably switch at the same applied field. The origin of this phenomenon has been attributed primarily to grain boundary variations within a nanostructure as well as lithographic variations that occur during processing. While these two factors will certainly contribute to a larger SFD, we find that the primary origin of a SFD is an intrinsic material property of the continuous film. We will present our results of nanostructured Co/Pd exchange coupled multilayers. By changing the material properties using various seed layers and growth conditions, we were able to reduce the SFD to below 5 {\%} of the average switching field. By studying both polycrystalline and epitaxial multilayers we isolated the effects of grain boundary variation since epitaxial nanostructures are all single grain with identical orientation.

Spillovers From Falling Oil Prices: Risks to Mexico and the United States
U.S. policymakers who worry about the impact of energy developments on geopolitics typically think of high oil prices as bad news and low prices as an unalloyed good. But a sustained drop in oil prices can be dangerous as well. This paper investigates Mexican vulnerability to falling oil prices—and spillovers to the United States—to show how troublesome such a development might be.

European Medieval Festival
From: 2015.08.24 To: 2015.08.29
Official website:
To experience a serious time-warp, step into the Danish city of Horsens, which transforms from a contemporary hub of commerce and technology to a bustling city typical of the Middle Ages from AD 1350 to 1536, with the cultural focus on northern Europe. And participants should not just observe, but feel the time. And to do so, anyone who attends the festival must act and dress as if they are from the period. Yes, wearing medieval costumes is a requirement; further, participants can only use materials that could be found during that time. The illusion of the past comes alive from the 5,000 local performers dressed as noblemen and ladies, beggars, virgins, knights, fortunetellers, monks, craftsmen and traders. And once that's taken care of, enjoy the array of period food, as well as dance performances and knight tournaments. Other highlights include the plethora of concerts, theater, falconry, puppetry, medieval weddings and vendors aplenty who sell period stuff. Further, there are to be no use of modern materials such as plastic, all drinking and eating is done from medieval goblets and wooden plates.

Last night on college gameday scoreboard Doug Gotlieb brokedown Butler's "random ball screen offense" (yeah I know, haven't watched much of them so I figured they were more a of motion or random set offense). From the clips they showed, Butler essentially runs similar sets to what we do (heavy on the pick n rolls/pops a lot of dribble penetration trying to create mismatches, ect), however their spacing is ridiculous. A lot of this is due to their personnel's shooting prowess. One clip was comical as K. St was guarding them way the $#@! out there. The K. St. guards were pinned to Butler guards standing halfway between halfcourt and the 3pt line which created a ridiculous amount of space for the rest of the squad to operate. Obviously the clips shown were chosen to suppliment Gotlieb's point, nonetheless it did prove that our offense could be run effectively with the right personnel on the court (e.g. guys with a good bball IQ and a consistent ability to knock down open jumpers).
Another thing I noticed is that Butler's bigmen used screens downlow much more effectively than we have over the last few years. And honestly it was something Barnes' teams did well early in his tenure here with Gabe, Mihm, and Owens. Our guys are ridiculously lazy and imprecise in setting picks and in setting up picks. There's just a lot of stuff we do offensively that needs to be cleaned up and those few clips of Butler essentially running our exact offense made this fact all the more apparent.

By Sgt. Frank Magni, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Sept. 10, 2004 While much of the world watched the events of Sept. 11, 2001, unfold on TV screens, Army Lt. Col. Clarence Neason, Task Force Steel commander, saw the damage with his own eyes.
It was a day that reaffirmed his commitment, service and passion to the U.S. Army. The event is also something he recalls daily, focusing his strengths on the mission he and his unit have deployed in support of, along with the rest of Combined Joint Task Force-76 in Afghanistan.
During the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Neason was assigned to the Pentagon as a special assistant to former Army Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki. When the plane hit, Neason was across the Potomac River at the National War College on Fort McNair, where he was attending a briefing. His first indication the attacks had occurred was a plume of gray smoke that filled the sky over Washington, D.C.
"I just couldn't believe it was happening, my only reaction was to go there to see if I could help," said Neason. Driving through thick traffic, he arrived back at the Pentagon a few hours after the plane hit.
When he initially arrived on the scene he described it as chaotic. "Some people were trying to get into the building, while others were trying to get out," he said. "Just getting accountability for all our people was a big challenge."
In the midst of the chaos, Neason said he noticed a prevalent theme in the spirit of the Pentagon workers. "People were really reaching out and helping one another," he said. "The actions of those terrorists was meant to split us apart, but all it did was bring us together."
Returning to work the next day, Neason said he noticed a change in the atmosphere within the building. "Even the day after it happened, everybody was much more focused," he said. "There was a lot of anger and concern, but we all stood ready to respond.
"We recognized we had vulnerabilities and worked to correct them," he said. "The attacks really brought a sober sense of reality. You just want to make sure nothing like 9/11 can happen again."
Neason said the attacks strengthened his devotion toward being a soldier and he looked for every opportunity to contribute. He served at the Pentagon for nine more months following the attacks. He watched as the building was rebuilt and the war on terror began. He then moved to the 25th Infantry Division (Light) in Hawaii to assume command of 3rd Battalion, 7th Field Artillery Regiment.
Even before his unit was notified of their deployment to Afghanistan, Neason said, he noticed a difference in his new soldiers and their training. He said the attacks added an element of reality because soldiers were overseas engaging the enemy as his unit prepared for possible future deployments.
The emphasis on training also became increasingly important after his unit learned it would deploy to Afghanistan and perform a non-traditional role for field-artillery units, he said.
Deployed to Kandahar Airfield for the past four months, the unit provides a variety of fire-support missions. From illumination to fire-for-effect fire missions, the "Redleg" soldiers of TF Steel support not only the maneuver elements of Combined Task Force Bronco in Regional Command South, but also Combined Task Force Thunder in Regional Command East.
In addition to their fire-support missions, the unit is also responsible for security in an area of operations in and around Kandahar city. Filling roles traditionally performed by infantry or military-police units, TF Steel conducts mounted and dismounted presence patrols, along with village assessments.
Neason said that by providing security in the area, TF Steel facilitates reconstruction from not only coalition forces, but also from other non- governmental organizations. "This mission is not in lieu of, it is in addition to, our traditional mission," he said.
The unit's total mission keeps Neason busy with a variety of different tasks, working closely with local leaders in the TF Steel area of operations. "Village elders remember what it was like before we got here," he said. "They are very willing to work with us."
Forging a partnership with the local leaders and assisting in security and reconstruction are now Neason's unit's primary missions. "The mission here is very satisfying for me," he said. "I see soldiers making a difference every day. It is such an amazing thing."
Just knowing that he is making his own individual contribution toward preventing any future attacks is one of the most important aspects of his mission in Afghanistan. "Although I think about the Pentagon every day, I try not to personalize it," he said. "I don't let any anger that I felt about the attack affect my job here.
"I just let my memory reaffirm my commitment and service to the Army."

over individual installations in the destination country. Simultaneously, the Soviet government took very similar measures to prevent advanced technologies from being obtained by the U.S. and its allies. Reliance on mutual cooperation was minimal.
In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in recasting diplomatically the relationship between the U.S. and the Soviet Union/Russia from one that has been fundamentally confrontational to one that is more mutually beneficial. The cooperation of Russians can be a powerful factor in the export control equation. If the Russians can demonstrate their ability and willingness to work with Western governments, vendors, and users in keeping sophisticated technologies from being diverted to military uses or restricted destination countries, it is possible that the iron-clad controls of the past can be eased to the benefit of commerce, scientific progress, and the Russian transition to a viable market economy.
In any relationship, including that between countries, the reduction of confrontation does not lead immediately to an establishment of trust. The latter can be accomplished only through the multilateral establishment of procedures and mechanisms to achieve the goals of non-diversion and non-proliferation, and a series of small and incremental steps taken over time in which both parties demonstrate trust, trustworthiness, and a willingness to work together in mutually beneficial ways. These will necessarily involve an element of risk, since measures which give one party complete control over the actions of the other give the latter no opportunity to demonstrate independent good faith and cooperation. Russians must be given the opportunity to demonstrate they are both willing and able—in both theory and practice.—to respect the national security concerns of the United States and to cooperate in preventing the diversion and proliferation of sophisticated technologies, provided the United States does the same.
In the past, the Soviet Union's willingness to control diversion and proliferation was questioned, but its ability to do so was not. Strong, centralized political and military institutions effectively regulated sensitive technologies. Today, there is reason to suspect that although Russia's willingness to control proliferation has increased, its ability to do so has decreased. Partly as a result, concerns about North-South proliferation of technologies to such countries as Iraq and Iran have grown. It is largely incumbent on the Russians to demonstrate to the Western community that effective, civilian control regimes can be established in spite of widespread fragmentation and decentralization of lines of authority.
This paper examines the preset nature and inherent controllability of high performance structural materials (HPSM) and their enabling technologies. It addresses means of control in the context of broader efforts to create an environment in which the need for control is reduced.
