Some people would say I'm a Mad Scientist, I would agree.
I am a transhumanist extropian utheist, and a staunch supporter of the proactionary principle. (Why sit around waiting for bad things to happen?)
I try to maintain a balance between mind & body .
I enjoy contemplation while out on walks or climbing everything from rocks to buildings.
Tae Kwon Do & Parkour interest me and let me burn off my extra energy.
I am equally likely to be found driving my body to its limits or devouring a torrent of data.
I am driven to grow, though I have no clue what will eventually become of me cognitively or physically.
Willful ignorance is my enemy, this impulse has led to travesty compounded upon travesty throughout history.
There is no excuse for the harm people do by following this course of action, so I don't tolerate this in myself.
My view is that most religions are memetic diseases that result in delusional behavior. If you're about to think to yourself "why aren't you tolerant of my religious beliefs?" Think of how dangerous it would be if all the buildings you work in and use were designed haphazardly and crushed millions of people over and over again... and no one ever tried to improve building design, and those who wanted to were shot... Now replace "building" with "society"... ya, that sucks don't it?
I deeply value my friends and loved ones, as well as the all strange things I've lived through. Life has done a damn fine job at giving me a vast array of ways to view life. Not everything was pleasant but I still wouldn't trade what I've gained from my life.
I have a personal sense of justice and honor, though it may not be what you think, but they're a facet of my personality I find important.
- study everything, and I mean everything – it is sheer pleasure to dive through the ocean of data available in the modern world.
- love ergonomically elegant solutions
- have been described as a dragon with a hoard of data instead of gold and shiny things, though shiny things are nice too.
- enjoy playing because it's one of the best traits of humanity to tinker and poke at life.
My favorite nick names have been Ifreet, & DataJunkie (I figure if I'm going to have a vice/addiction I might as well make it a useful one)
I have synesthesia between auditory & tactile sensations.
I am complex, primal, and contemplative

Of course there is syrup and powdered sugar on every table. Of course—no pancake buffet is complete without syrup and powdered sugar. €13,50 may sound like a lot for pancakes, but while stuffing yourself with as... More

Granted, this story gets a lot less steamy when I tell you
that I'm torn between the work of two oil painting artists, Adolph Menzel and Jonas Lie.
I've studied the work of both of these artists on my own for quite a while,
trying to puzzle out why I like each of them.
Menzel's oil painting art is all clarity and light. His genre
scenes like The Balcony Room are
testimonies to seeing a scene and filtering out the details so that the
essential beauty of it shines through. Menzel was a master at turning small things--like a curtain hung over a door or a pool of light on a floor--into
extraordinary moments.
With Lie, I just wish I could watch him work. The oil
painting techniques he used to build color and paint water show some serious
skill. When you look at his oil painting pieces of the sea, like The Old Ships Draw to Home Again, you
can almost feel the cold wind on your face because the artist's color choices
convey the chilly air and early morning light so well.
I think what I am drawn to in both of these oil painting
artists is the honest quietude and simple grace they bring to their work.
Neither added needless drama to the scenes they depicted. Such bombast wasn't
necessary when your colors are so interesting and your compositions so strong.
So instead of "choosing" between these two artists, I think I am content to
realize they both hold a place in my art-loving heart because they are two peas
in a pod.
More than anything though, I think I am drawn to oil
painting art like Menzel's and Lie's because of how the work is built from
underpainting to final strokes. But with them I can only imagine how they
created their work. In my attempt to learn how to paint with oil, I seek out
resources that allow me to watch a painter's process because it gives me a
better sense of how to oil paint more than anything else I've tried. Our Step-by-Step Painting Guide offers more
than 20 painting lessons broken down to their essential steps. It's an eye-opener
if you love to see the painting process unfold. And right now Step-by-Step Painting Guide and many other digital resources are 50% off! Enjoy!

Foreign Currency Market Update – GBP / EUR Update
The Pound to Euro exchange rate commenced last week's trading at a 5-week high of 1.2071, before slipping to an 8-day low of 1.1946 following a dovish Bank of England Minutes report on Wednesday.
Once again Monetary Policy Committee member's Adam Posen and David Miles voted in favour of an additional £25 billion to be added to the central bank's asset purchasing fund. Miles and Posen argued that added stimulus would help avoid damage to the supply capacity of the economy, whilst the committee as a whole voiced concerns over inflation in relation to rising fuel prices. Although the MPC voted 7-2 in favour of keeping the quantitative easing target steady at £325 billion, the prospect of further QE in the near future knocked GBP down from its pedestal above the 1.20 mark.
George Osborne's Budget report proved less sticky for the Pound as his microeconomic policies were generally considered to be fiscally neutral. On Thursday GBP/EUR mustered up enough strength to rally back above 1.20 as a raft of Eurozone PMI data came in worse than expected. But Sterling fell back down as markets digested a poor return from UK Retail Sales. The figure was expected to show an improvement of 2.3%, but the actual result came in at 1.0%. Subsequently the Pound to Euro exchange rate consolidated at 1.1960 before markets closed for the weekend.
The Pound has remained under pressure from the Euro this week as strong German IFO statistics for the 5th consecutive month have kept the rate around the 1.1950 level. Looking ahead and the main points of interest this week are the UK's finalised Q4 GDP results, German inflation figures, and Eurozone inflation estimates. The Office for National Statistics' finalised fourth quarter GDP figures are unlikely to be revised, but with optimism rising for the UK economy in 2012, it is possible that we could see Sterling surge against the single currency in the near future.

"Small pie like cookies with a nut filling. Mini muffin tins may be used. These can also be frozen"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 (3 ounce) packages
cream cheese
1 cup
6 tablespoons
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
3/4 cup
packed brown sugar
1 cup
chopped walnuts
These are easy and delicious!
Using the 1 inch balls per the recipe makes these cookies very thick. I used 1/2 inch balls and they come out just right. I also had to make another batch of the cookie dough because there was a lot of the nut filling left. All in all with a little adjustment to the recipe these are good. I would make them again.

Yummy! Like little pecan pies, with walnuts. Be careful not to overfill the tarts, the filling bubbles and expands during baking. I used mini muffin tins and they worked great.
these have been a family favorite for years. So glad others are able to enjoy our golden cups too!
Wonderful and easy to make.!!
I Loved it, my family loved it, my guests loved it and wanted the recipe. This was the easiest "pie"/"tart"/cookie recipe I've ever made with the only time consuming process being rolling out the dough and cutting it into circles to drop into my muffin tin. I split the nut recipe into walnut and pecan fillings; I then made a chocolate/coffee ganache to drizzle on top of them. I couldn't keep them on the dessert tray... Made a great presentation and a fantastic dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. These are going to be made again (in bulk) for the holidays.
Thank you LVCLKC for a delicious treat.
Delicious, though I'm not sure why they have the word "cookie" in the title, they seem like tarts to me. I did make a few changes, here are my edits:
Your butter and cream cheese should be room temperature. After making the pastry, pop it in the fridge while you make the nut filling, this will make it much easier to roll into balls without sticking to everything. I rolled the dough into 1" balls (recipe made enough for 36) and dropped them into buttered mini muffin pans, no need to flatten. Then I took a 1/4 teaspoon and used the back to make a nice deep impression to hold the filling. This works a lot better than your thumb, just dip the back of the spoon in flour if it starts to get tacky.
I made one small batch as written and felt there was not enough filling to dough, so for my later batches I almost covered the entire tops with the filling, about 1tsp of filling per tart, it doesn't really expand or spill out (you will have a lot of filling left over anyway, I still threw some out). They are done when the edges start to turn golden, 19 minutes in my oven.
I thought they might be too sweet, but they really weren't. I made this with pecans instead of walnuts since I like them better, and I would definitely make them again!

Liskeard pub owner who sold alcohol to under-18 fined
Posted: December 01, 2012|
A Liskeard publican has been ordered to pay more than £1,000 by the courts after he was caught selling alcohol to a child.
Lewis Jon Elliot, who runs the Railway Inn in Barn Street, was taken to court by Cornwall Council's trading standards team after they sent in a 16-year-old volunteer to try to buy alcohol on March 9.
The test purchase operation, which saw the teenager buy a bottle of "alcopop", was launched after the council department received information that suggested underage drinking was regularly taking place at the pub.
Cornwall Council said the same pub had failed a similar test purchase in 2010, after which advice was given to the licensee to prevent a recurrence.
Despite this, Elliot, 29, appeared at Bodmin Magistrates Court on November 28 charged with serving alcohol to a person under the age of 18. He pleaded guilty to offences under Section 146 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the magistrates fined him £265 for the offence. He was also ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and Cornwall Council's court costs of £837.31.
Nigel Strick, Fair Trading Manager at Cornwall Council said: "The sale of alcohol to children will not be tolerated."

Bible Lesson News
Considering "The following citations comprise our sermon"
New Readers for audio lesson
Citation lines now link to Concord Express
ePubs in iOS 7
Considering "The following citations comprise our sermon"
A small change has been made to the Quarterly to give branch churches and their readers greater flexibility as they plan and conduct weekly services. The brief transitional line between the Responsive Reading and Lesson-Sermon that read, "The following citations comprise our sermon" has been removed. Click here for a fuller explanation from the Trustees of the Christian Science Publishing Society in the March issue of The Christian Science Journal.
New Readers for audio lesson
In 2014, you'll hear new voices reading the weekly Bible Lesson online. Beginning with the December 30–January 5 lesson titled "God," the current First and Second Reader of The Mother Church, Judith Hardy Olson and Norm Bleichman, will be featured on both the online audio lesson and CD Edition, as well as on weekly radio programs around the country. You may also occasionally hear other readers.
Click here to "meet" Judy and Norm and listen to Sunday church services and Wednesday testimony meetings at The Mother Church in Boston, Massachusetts.
Citation lines now link to Concord Express
Starting with "Everlasting Punishment" (October 28–November 3), the Bible and Science and Health citation lines that appear in the HTML Bible Lessons on the eBibleLesson and myBibleLesson pages will be links to Concord Express, a version of Concord (an electronic study tool with the full text of the King James Version of the Bible as well as all of Mary Baker Eddy's published writings). Clicking on a citation will open a popup window that shows the passage bracketed in its context in the Bible or Science and Health, allowing readers to explore a particular idea more fully. Anyone wanting to see all the citations in context as they study the lesson may want to use the In-Context Edition that's part of eBibleLesson.
ePubs in iOS 7
Apple has issued an updated version of iBooks for iOS 7. It resolves some but not all of the problems the previous iBooks version had in iOS 7, but eBibleLesson subscribers may still encounter problems with the way the ePub Bible Lesson displays in iBooks.
The problems appear randomly, as far as anyone can tell. The ePub text will be properly displayed at one time, but the same text will be improperly displayed another time. The bugs cause problems such as
- blank spaces appearing where text should be (especially around marginal heads in the ePub Edition),
- text not taking up the entire page,
- blank pages appearing,
- pages not appearing,
- duplicate pages appearing, and
- the search function not working properly.
Currently we're aware of three workarounds that appear to solve the problems (except possibly the ones related to searches).
The first and easiest is to rotate your device to a different orientation—for instance, from vertical to horizontal (portrait to landscape)—and back again. The text will often display properly then.
The second is to increase or decrease the font size and then return to the desired font size. To change the font size,
- tap the AA menu at the top of the iBooks screen;
- tap either the small or large A to decrease or increase the font size;
- tap anywhere on the screen outside the selection boxes to make the selection boxes disappear and to read the ePub;
- repeat the process to return to the font size you want.
The final workaround is to view the ePub in Scroll mode instead of Book mode. In Scroll mode, instead of turning pages, readers scroll through pages, as on a Web page or in a word-processing document. To turn on Scroll mode,
- tap the AA menu at the top of the iBooks screen;
- then tap Themes and select Scroll by tapping it;
- then tap anywhere on the screen outside the selection boxes to make the selection boxes disappear and to read the ePub, which will now have a scroll bar.
If your device is held vertically, the scroll bar may sometimes obscure part of a marginal head.
Finally, iBooks in iOS 7 does not automatically include a dictionary. When you first tap a word in an ePub to get a definition, you may get a page saying no definition is found. If this occurs, tap the Manage button at the bottom left of the screen saying no definition is found. Then choose the dictionary you'd like to use from the list that appears and tap its name. This will download that dictionary. You can download more than one dictionary if you want to. The dictionary will download from iCloud, so you must have an active iCloud account to download one. Each Apple user has one, but you may need to set yours up or activate it. To do this, open the Settings app and tap iCloud in the list that appears. When the next screen appears, tap the Account line to set up your account or to enter or verify your password. Once this is done, you'll see the amount of free storage space you have in iCloud. Then you can return to iBooks to download a dictionary.
Apple is preparing an update to iOS 7, and we hope it will solve the problems iBooks users may currently experience. We'll keep subscribers informed via this page.

Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Review by jthorson: Best room service breakfast on the high seas.

Compare Prices on Nieuw Amsterdam Western Caribbean Cruises
Best room service breakfast on the high seas.
We're long-term cruisers on Princess because we get 150 free Internet minutes with them (it will be 345 more cruises before we get free laundry, however), but we recently went back to Holland America for a brief cruise to Jamaica and the Caymans. WE LOVE the Nieuw Amsterdam! This is a great ship. We find that most of the good-level ships we've been on over the past few years are pretty similar. All have dreary prime rib in the dining room. All have similar entertainment. All have excellent service. Almost all charge $3.50 for fresh-squeezed orange juice
There are a few things that differentiate the ones we've been on recently, though. The Queen Mary II has a free laundromat. The Carnival Celebrity and the Costa Mediterranea are twins, except the beds on the Costa liner are filled with rocks. Princess and Holland America seem to load and unload more efficiently. But, onto what's really important: room service. First, the booze package on the Nieuw Amsterdam was the best we've More found. Princess charges a fortune for a half-sized bottle to hootch. On the Nieuw Amsterdam, I got full liters of top-shelf rum and gin, plus six cans of mixer, for $92. This kept us in cocktail parties all week, and room service was regular in delivering extra ice, too, without being asked.
Of primary importance, though, is room-service breakfast. First, most lines don't even try to deliver it on debarkation day. The Nieuw Amsterdam did, and on time, too. But, best of all, are the eggs. Princess has a cardboard-like egg and cheese muffin that is designed for their convenience, not ours. By contrast, Nieuw Amsterdam delivers HOT sunny-side-up eggs on a hot plate with hot-plate-heater beneath it. Neither Cunnard nor Princess can compare. It's the little things that count. Having said all that, to be honest, Princess has the best scones at tea. Less

The cabin was excellent, in that it had a bathtub, a decent bed, and did not have a featherbed in lieu of a blanket on top of the bed. We did not miss the second television that other ships seem to think is a necessity. We did miss the laundromat, which this ship lacked. The cabin service was superior.

A Man, A Camcorder, and A Very Long River
|Palazzolo up river.
"That's still 420 miles of travel," defends Palazzolo, who says that he underestimated the difficulty of canoeing the early stages of the river. "Up there, the Mississippi is little more than a shallow stream. There were times when I was literally walking the canoe down river."
And while Palazzolo didn't quite achieve his stated goal, he has succeeded in creating an entertaining online journal of his journey. Over the past few months Palazzolo and friend Tom Malkowicz (an extremely talented video editor) have been posting video clips Palazzolo shot during his trip to the site, www.seasicktours.com.
There's the video of Palazzolo hunkered down on the shore waiting out a storm, the scene of him trying to make sense of a nautical map and the breathtaking view of the sun setting over the river's marshlands.
"Here in St. Louis we live right next to the river, yet most people wouldn't dare stick their toe in the water," says Palazzolo. "It's seen as nasty and dirty. But there are large parts of the river that are absolutely beautiful and people use the river for recreation."
An accomplished traveler, Palazzolo says he decided to canoe the Mississippi a few years back after he was savagely beaten by a gang of youth along Cherokee Street in south St. Louis. "I was lucky to survive. It took me about a year to recover," explains Palazzolo. "After that, I kind of felt like I had a second-lease on life, and canoeing the river is something I've always wanted to do."
The video below spells out Palazzolo's original plan. For more videos, check out www.seasicktours.com.

Mac Specs: Mac Mini 2009 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 320 MB HD, Mac OS 10.6 SL
Guideline Background
Both Mac OS X and Windows can read and write to partitions formatted with FAT and FAT32. Unfortunately, Mac OS X can read but not write to NTFS formatted partitions that Windows NT, 2000, and XP can use instead of FAT32. NTFS should be used for a Windows partition, as it is safer.
A limitation when it comes to partitions is that the Windows MBR can address 4 primary partitions only. The first 2 partitions on Intel Macs are reserved for something called EFI (200 MB, normally invisible) and for the Mac OS itself. That leaves room for 2 additional partitions, one for your shared "bilingual" data and one for Windows XP.
For a strange reason, Windows XP MUST be installed on the LAST partition in order for the EFI boot loader to recognize it ("hal.dll corrupt or missing" or "missing media" error).
So the recommended solution is:
First Partition (i.e. "disk0s1"): reserved EFI partition (invisible in Disk Utility and during normal use)
Second partiton (i.e. "disk0s2): MacOSX - Mac OS Extended (journaled) format (HFS+)
Third partition (i.e. "disk0s3): Shared Data - FAT32 format (up to 8 TB!)
Fourth partition (i.e. "disk0s4): Windows XP - NTFS format
Once in the Windows Setup partition overview, you will notice that the Mac OS Disk Utility creates unallocated spaces of about 128 MB between the partitions. Don't ask me why, and I wouldn't recommend changing that with "Partition Magic", "fdisk", "GParted" or the like. Chances are that the booting into Windows XP will screw up (Mac OS however remains unaffected, as long you don't tamper with the Mac OS partition).
The third partition is used to store files that you want to share between the Windows XP and Mac OS, as both can read and write to the third partition (FAT32). However, the max file size is 4,3 GB, which makes things difficult when it comes to disk images, videos, etc.. If this is important to you, you may stop reading here and read the tutorials on how to use NTFS or Linux ext2 or ext3 for the shared partition and by installing corresponding drivers on both systems (for instance using MacDrive on WinXP and Paragon NTFS on Mac).
Both Mac OS and Windows XP need about 10 GB for the operating system and basic office applications, I would recommend 20 or even 30 GB each just to be sure. You definitively need more if you install games or audio/video editing applications. Once formatted, changing the size of the FAT32 or NTFS partitions is not possible anymore without starting from scratch. And believe me, Partition Magic and GParted (until now) do not understand the Mac OS GUID partition table, which needs to be changed in parallel with the MBR table changes these programs modify.
With a little trick, which I'll tell you in a moment, it is possible to make the FAT32 partition as large as you want (override the 32 GB limit of Windows Setup) and to avoid Windows setup files being copied to your shared Data partition, as it is the first partition Windows Setup "sees".
Apple's Boot Camp application CAN NOT be used for this partitioning scheme, because it will only allow to make two partitions. All necessary partition work (except for the NTFS formatting during Windows Setup) is done using Disk Utility in the Mac OS environment or from the Mac OS Install DVD. No other partition application is necessary using this Guideline! And BTW, you don't need to manually edit the Windows boot file "boot.ini" like other tutorials require out there!
I assume you have a working Mac OS when you start, otherwise you'll start off the Install DVD installing Mac OS. In that case it's advisable to format the partitions according to steps 2-4 by using Disk Utility found in the Mac menu before you press "continue" to install OS X (after the initial language choice screen).
Here is how it goes:
1) Backup your data before you begin. For the Mac OS partition this is a measure just to be on the safe side. Either to an USB-Stick, a CD/DVD or to an external hard disk. A simple way of doing that is to use the Mac OS Disk Utility (found in "Utilities" folder in Finders "Go" menu) to clone your Mac data (the whole partition) to an external USB or FireWire drive formatted with HFS+ (or FAT32, but then you have a 4,3 GB file size limit which may be a problem, even if you use compression). In case you also need to backup your current Windows XP partition (this partition and all data along with it will be erased using this guideline), use for instance the free Mac OS application "Winclone" and clone onto a HFS+ partition. Cloning in this case basically means an instant image of the complete partition is written to a large file. Using the restore command means to "put the partition back again", however overwriting existing and perhaps newer data.
2) Use the Disk Utility, mark your hard disk and go to the "partition" menu. Drag the lower right corner to resize your Mac OS partition to accommodate your intended Data and Windows partition sizes. It will do so without destroying or reformatting your Mac OS partition. Use the "-" (minus) command or "Erase" menu to free up the space after the Mac OS partition.
3) Now create two new partitions using the "+" (plus) in the partition menu. Choose size and format the third partition to "MS-DOS (FAT)", which means FAT32. Give it a name like "WinXP", as this is the partition for Windows XP.
4) Now the trick: Format the second partition using Mac OS Extended (Journaled), not FAT32 at this stage, and call it something like "Data". This will become your shared Data partition. Use any size you want.
5) Put in your Windows XP CD and go to "System Preferences" and choose the extension "Startup Disk". Wait until the CD icon appears and choose the Windows Setup CD to boot from.
6) Reboot your Mac into the Windows installer. Sometimes it won't, in that case hold the "C" key (to boot from CD) or hold the Option key during boot in order to get a list of bootable devices. Select the CD icon.
7) Windows Setup will eventually provide you with an option to format the drive. Be sure to select the correct partition and format with NTFS (you can select fast format unless you are experiencing problems). Just to make it clear: You MUST format here, even if you choose to keep FAT32.
8) Once finished installing Windows XP and the Boot Camp XP Drivers from the Mac OS Install DVD, reboot into Mac OS by pressing Option when the chime sounds and selecting Mac OS (or by choosing Mac OS from the Boot Camp control panel in the Windows system tray).
9) As a last step enter Disk Utility again and chose "Erase" menu. Mark the Data partition and "erase" it as "MS-DOS (FAT)". This will format the partition in a way fully accessible to both Windows and Mac OS. You'll notice that Disk Utility has no problem converting partitions larger than 32 GB. You're done!
PS. You can now install "rEIFt", which is a nice graphical boot loader for multiple OS Macs. During Mac startup, rEFIt will show all bootable options available. Don't install rEFIt until you know all your OS's work, because it doesn't provide support for installation of any operating system. However it has the capability to show the GUID Partition Table (GPT) and the MBR table and echo the MBR entries so it fits the GPT (not the other way around). I've experienced that rEFIt sometimes needs a second reboot before it is recognized properly.
PS2. Mac OS doesn't grow and slows down like Windows XP (due to the "registry" and orphaned files), so you can safely use the same partition for your data and use Time Machine to backup to a second drive. For Windows XP I recommend to use MS Tweak UI to change your document, desktop, picture, etc. folder to point at and keep all personal data in your Data partition. You can then continue use Winclone to restore your Windows clone/image to restore Windows to virgin state, for instance if you've caught a trojan or a virus.

The new version of Paragon NTFS (7.0) works both ways. It enables read and write to a NTFS partition from OS X and also enables read and write to a HFS partition from Windows. I consider the $39.95 price a real bargain. A must have for folks who use both OS X and Windows.

I've also heard good things about NTFS-3G. It's free and allows read/write access of NTFS partitions. You can get it here.
The only thing missing here is write support for HFS. I'm sure there are ways to get around this missing feature though that are fairly convenient.

So if you had an external partitioned for windows and for Mac, you could not only see what's on the windows partition, but write/copy to it from a Mac as well??
Does that sound right?
Like I said, might be the same thing you were saying but in a different way. I don't know....

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2004 The Army will grow to 510,000 soldiers over the next four years as a temporary measure, a senior Army official said today.
The official briefed the press on background after Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker told Congress Jan. 28 that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has authorized the Army to exceed end strength limits by 30,000. The increase is allowed under emergency authorities Congress granted the Defense Department.
"One of the advantages of being an Army at war is that war focuses us," said the senior Army official.
The focus gives the Army the opportunity to rebalance and reset the forces using the lessons learned from the most recent combat. The Army is putting in place more than 100,000 structural changes, the official said.
The official said the Army has been stressed by worldwide operations against terror, engaged at "a pace unseen since World War II."
In the next four months, the official said, the Army will move 220,000 soldiers into and out of Iraq and Afghanistan, placing significant stress on existing force structure. "The approval we received gives us the chance to implement initiatives aimed at mitigating the stress on the force over time," he said.
The increase gives the service a "cushion" to implement far-reaching changes. The Army will need another 23,000 light infantrymen to fulfill its plans and still maintain current combat effectiveness.
The Army is building the new force around brigade combat teams. This concept takes much of the support now done at division level and pushes it to the brigades. Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets including unmanned aerial vehicles will be at brigade level.
Fire control will be beefed up and placed at brigades. Maintenance and transportation assets will be at brigades. Each brigade will have its own artillery battalion, and the brigades will contain more infantrymen.
The current setup has a division with three brigades under it. In the future, a division will have four brigade combat teams. The concept operates under the reality that the Army will never work alone, the official said. The Army is one part of a joint team with Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps contributions being made to the combat picture.
One example of this is that divisions will lose their air defense artillery. The official said that the Air Force, Navy Air and Marine Corps Air are "outstanding," and it has been years since an American solider had to worry about being killed by a bomb dropped by an adversary. The air assets will take care of that, and Army assets will be concerned mostly with incoming ballistic and cruise missiles. Air defense artillery units will be cut, and those that remain will be corps-level assets.
The brigades will be more "modular," more lethal and more standardized in the future, the official said.
The changes are not limited to the active component. The current 15 reserve- component-enhanced separate brigades will expand to 22 National Guard brigade combat teams. They will have enhanced training and be able to take their place in the rotation with active duty units.
The divisions do not go away. The current 10 active duty divisions will remain, and will exercise command and control of two or more brigade combat teams. The teams may be interchangeable. If the requirement is for four BCTs operating under a division, two could come from Fort Bragg, N.C., another from Fort Campbell, Ky., and still another could come from Baumholder, Germany.
The Army plans to standardize all six heavy divisions and both lightweight divisions. Even the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) will resemble each other, with the emphasis going on air assault and transportability once landed.
The official said the 3rd Infantry Division already is experimenting with the new setup. He said the division will need some 3,500 more infantrymen to make the system work.
The system has been under development for the past 16 months, the official said. It will run at least through fiscal 2007.

Little Miss Sunshine
You'll laugh, too.
By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"
"Love comforteth like sunshine after rain." Shakespeare, Lear
So you think any one of these summer comedies could be called the best of the year: Scoop, Clerks II, You, Me and Dupree, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Not so when you see Little Miss Sunshine, a certifiable winner for the year with a fraction of their budgets and more wit than even the Woodman can employ.
Think National Lampoon's Vacation with moments of important social conscience. The Hoover family is traveling by VW bus from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach for the Little Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant. Dad Richard (Greg Kinnear) is a motivational speaker whose 9 step program has no real effect on an essentially slacking family, including potty-mouthed, tell it all like it s grandpa (Alan Arkin) is hilariously out of place here, as he is in the world. Brother in law Frank has tried suicide more than once, in part because his closest academic rival may have proven to be the best living Proust scholar rather than Frank.
My bus broke down as does theirs. They always do on long trips. As with the Hoovers, however, lessons can be learned and humanity tapped on such disastrous outings. Sunshine strips the pretense from the whole family, threatening to make them normal and loving, and certifying after they see the pageant, that they will never enter little sister is such an American tragedy again.
I guess all American long trips are a metaphor for the growth of our country and the flowering of character. This film shows more character development than most of the films this summer combined. Along the way the Hoover family will face its darkest secrets, confirm the salutary nature of love, and keep a sense of humor.
And you'll laugh, too.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE 90.5's "It's Movie Time," which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm and on demand anytime. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com

(Updated at 2:03 p.m.)
For the first time, President Obama's campaign responded to the entrance of a Republican candidate into the race with a short statement today following former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's campaign launch.
The response, a critique of Huntsman's economic policies, signals that the White House takes Huntsman's campaign seriously. A former Republican governor of Utah, Huntsman served as Obama's ambassador to China until his resignation two months ago.
"In his speech, Governor Huntsman called for a more competitive and compassionate country, but he has embraced a budget plan that would slash our commitment to education, wipe out investments that will foster the jobs of the future and extend tax cuts for the richest Americans while shifting the burden onto seniors and middle class families," the Obama campaign statement said. "Like the other Republican candidates, instead of proposing a plan that will allow middle class families to reclaim their economic security, Governor Huntsman is proposing a return to the failed economic policies that led us into the recession."
Most of Huntsman's rivals for the presidential nomination maintained radio silence in the hours immediately following his announcement. In an interview on Fox News Channel's Happening Now, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty echoed Huntsman's courteous tone. He said Huntsman "will be a great new voice in the debate" and called both him and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, another potential presidential candidate, "friends of mine."
One striking exception to the welcome wagon: former Sen. Rick Santorum. The Pennsylvania Republican marked Huntsman's entrance into the field with a parody of the Utahn's motocross videos.ram> ram>

A Danbury township man was convicted Friday on 28 charges including rape and corrupting another with drugs for abusing a teenage girl last summer.
Dale "Bud" Notestine, 62, was handcuffed and escorted out of Ottawa County Common Pleas Court by sheriff's deputies moments after Judge Paul Moon delivered the verdict.
Following the three-day trial, during which Notestine waived his right to a jury, he was convicted of four counts of rape, seven counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, 12 counts of corrupting another with drugs, one count each of disseminating harmful matter to a juvenile and possession of drug paraphernalia and three counts of possession of drugs.
He was acquitted on the remaining charges in the case, including 11 counts of rape.

The Jewish Odyssey: An Illustrated History
Written by Marek Halter
About This Book
The far-reaching story of a people that, despite facing perpetual struggle, has shaped modern civilization. In The Jewish Odyssey, best-selling author Marek Halter charts the course of Judaism from its origins in Mesopotamia to its place in the world today. Predating all Western culture, its early development of the written word enabled it to lay the foundations of modern civilization. Richly illustrated, the book addresses the extent of Jewish suffering over the years, as well as the lasting contributions of Jews in fields such as science, politics, philosophy, and the arts—from Gutenberg to Einstein, Freud to Trotsky, and Kafka to Dylan. Halter explains the delicate state of interdependence that exists between the significant Jewish Diaspora communities worldwide and the Israeli nation, taking into account the Zionist notion of the Jewish "promised land." With his expertise, international status, and political insight, Halter offers a unique and compelling view on contemporary issues ranging from anti-Semitism to the emergence of multi-faith families. This engaging illustrated tribute to the Jewish story culminates in a message of hope for the universal freedom of all mankind.
About the Author
Author, academic, and activist Marek Halter has published more than twenty books, including the best-selling Sarah from his Canaan trilogy. As a young child in 1940, Halter escaped with his family from the Warsaw ghetto. He is the founder of the International Committee for Peace in the Middle East and SOS Racisme.

credit/debit cards--what's the latest advice?
Will be in Italy 3 weeks soon, and have debit (with my credit union)and credit cards (with my credit union and with CapitalOne)none of them have a foreign transaction fee. Got that straight!
But, my traveling companion has raised the question of having all those cards with Bank of America, so that we could use its Italian partner-bank, BNL D' Italia. Is that really necessary? I would just set up the accounts for this trip because I prefer my credit union. However, I don't mind exploiting BoA if that will make a significant difference. Also, what is the fee for using the bathroom? What are the coin and bill denominations? I could look it up but it's late, late....yawn. Many thanks. Karen, Atlanta, GA
