What caused the biggest shift in human history: from hunting and gathering to farming? Dig into the ancient past for clues.
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
We design our Earthwatch Teen Expeditions specifically and exclusively for 15- to 18-year-olds. They're unlike any other experience a teenager can have.
Do something special this summer: unearth artifacts from one of humankind's most interesting periods, work in the midst of Colorado's striking mesas, and meet people from around the world.
The transition from hunting and gathering to farming led to huge changes in how humans relate to each other and to the environment. People began to settle down for the first time, partly because they had to tend crops. This resulted in more people living in the same location, which led to more stratified societies. People also began to use different technologies, such as arrows instead of atlatls (spear launchers).
Archaeologists still have many questions about this transition, which has happened across the world at many different times and many places. Help them find answers by excavating at an ancestral Pueblo community dating from A.D. 550-1300.. You'll get to dig for artifacts in former households, and middens (trash deposits).
We modern agriculturalists now face serious questions about the sustainability of our resources. Understanding this period of human history matters not just for what it can reveal about communities in the past, but for what it can tell us about our own fate.
All Earthwatchers work on word-class research and visit interesting places. On our teen expeditions, you also get:
Analyze artifacts collected from the Basketmaker Communities Project.
This is a summary:
You can join this team for one or two weeks.
The schedule will repeat for days 7-14.
Each day of an Earthwatch teen expedition offers a balance of hands-on research and the chance to explore your surroundings and get to know the scientists and your teammates. Your team is led not only by professional researchers but also by at least one Earthwatch facilitator, who will always be around to help you get the most out of your experience.
On most days you'll work at the dig site, which has beautiful views of the surrounding mesas and mountains. Wielding a hand trowel, broom, or screen, you'll help unearth artifacts, which may include pieces of pottery, stone tools, and animal bones. You may also help with remote sensing surveys to identify areas where something interesting might be beneath the ground. Remote sensing tools give archaeologists an idea of features under the surface without having to dig first.
Back at the lab, you'll help wash, sort, and label the artifacts you've helped collect - perhaps the most important part of strong archaeological research. In the evenings, you'll hear from the researchers about all sorts of topics related to Southwestern archaeology.
When you're not at work, you'll enjoy the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. With your teammates and facilitator(s), you'll sample some local cuisine and visit some of the area's many rich historical sites, which might include Hovenweep National Monument and Mesa Verde National Park.
Note: Field conditions and research needs can lead to changes in the itinerary and activities. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Excavate a site of the ancient Basketmaker III community.
You'll stay at the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in Cortez, Colorado, in Navajo-style log cabins equipped with electricity and wireless Internet access. Each cabin houses up to four people; shower and bathroom facilities are nearby. Most buildings at Crow Canyon have heat and air conditioning.
Crow Canyon's skilled kitchen staff will prepare breakfast and dinner, which feature hearty entrees and fresh fruits and vegetables. Meals will be served cafeteria-style at communal tables, which will give you a chance to get to know your teammates and the archaeologists. The team will eat picnic lunches at the excavation site.

The citys Parks and Recreation Department should find out later this morning what the city should do about repairing the municipal ice rinks wind-damaged roof.
A crew from Sands Brothers Roofing Co., Watertown, will assess how to repair the 120-foot portion ripped off by 60 mph winds on Sunday, said Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner.
The part that came off, known as the flashing, covers the vent that runs along the peaked roofs center line. It will probably have to be replaced. The roofing company will be working with the citys engineering office.
The arena will continue to be open for business as usual. The repairs could be completed by the end of the week, Mrs. Gardner said.
According to Mrs. Gardner, the worst scenario would be a buildup of snow, which could then melt and leak onto the ice. Lake-effect snow and bitter cold are in the forecast for the week.
For years, the roof has leaked, leaving numerous puddles on the facilitys floor following rainstorms. Mrs. Gardner hopes to get that problem assessed and then possibly repaired in the 2014-15 budget.

California State University Awarded Nearly $16 Million
Voter-Approved Stem Cell Research Funding
Erik Fallis, (562) 951-4800
CSUPERB - CSU Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology
CIRM - California Institute for Regenerative Medicine
(March 23, 2009) -- The state's stem cell agency has approved nearly $16 million for eleven California State University (CSU) campuses to study stem cell technology and advance the field of regenerative medicine.
Bridges to Stem Cell Research Awards will facilitate instruction, laboratory work, internship placement, faculty mentoring and career guidance. The grants were funded for the CSU campuses of Channel Islands, Humboldt, Long Beach, Pomona, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San José, San Luis Obispo and San Marcos. Cal State L.A. is a partner in the Cal Poly Pomona project – which will pool the campuses' faculty expertise in research, curriculum development and mentoring.
"CSU campuses are the training grounds for the scientists and professionals who fuel California's knowledge-based economy," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "These grants will allow the university to take the next step into an exciting and rapidly expanding area of biotechnology."
The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), which oversees the Bridge Awards, is the state agency created to distribute nearly $3 billion in bond funding approved by the passage of Proposition 71 in 2004. CIRM is the largest source of funding for human embryonic and multi-use stem cell research.
"The voters have given California a commanding lead when it comes to groundbreaking stem cell research," said Susan Baxter, executive director of the CSU Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology (CSUPERB). "With the latest action on stem cells by President Obama, we are well positioned as a state to lead the world in unlocking the use of stem cells to develop new technologies and products for regenerative medicine."
CSU joined with the California Community Colleges to propose the overall plan aimed at expanding access to cutting edge stem cell research for students statewide. Current certificate, degree programs and general education courses will incorporate the latest stem cell science and technology. The CSU campuses will provide hands-on stem cell training in both academic and industrial research settings.
CSUPERB has been actively engaged in addressing the shortfall of professionals for the biotech industry, supporting the development of 16 Professional Science Master's programs on 14 CSU campuses. Using the Bridge Awards, the CSU can now help address the critical need for professionals capable of translating research discoveries into stem cell based therapies.

You could easily skip by it in an archive search: a project titled "A Study of Lunar Research Flights." Its nickname is even more low-brow: "Project A-119."
But the reality was much more explosive.
It was a top-secret plan, developed by the U.S. Air Force, to look at the possibility of detonating a nuclear device on the moon.
It was hatched in 1958 - a time when the United States and the Soviet Union were locked in a nuclear arms race that would last decades and drive the two superpowers to the verge of nuclear war. The Soviets had also just launched Sputnik 1, the world's first satellite. The U.S. was falling behind in the space race, and needed a big splash.
"People were worried very much by (first human in space Soviet cosmonaut Yuri) Gagarin and Sputnik and the very great accomplishments of the Soviet Union in those days, and in comparison, the United States was feared to be looking puny. So this was a concept to sort of reassure people that the United States could maintain a mutually-assured deterrence, and therefore avoid any huge conflagration on the Earth," said physicist Leonard Reiffel, who led the project.
Reiffel, now 85, spoke to CNN at his home in Chicago. A 1959 report Reiffel wrote on the project, declassified many years ago, was obtained online by CNN.
According to Reiffel's report, "The motivation for such a detonation is clearly threefold: scientific, military and political."
The military considerations were frightening. The report said a nuclear detonation on the moon could yield information "...concerning the capability of nuclear weapons for space warfare." Reiffel said that in military circles at the time, there was "discussion of the moon as military high ground."
That included talk of having nuclear launch sites on the moon, he said. The thinking, according to Reiffel, was that if the Soviets hit the United States with nuclear weapons first and wiped out the U.S. ability to strike back, the U.S. could launch warheads from the moon.
"These are horrendous concepts," Reiffel said, "and they are hopefully going to remain in the realm of science fiction for the rest of eternity."
The basic plan, Reiffel explained, was for an intercontinental ballistic missile to be launched from an undisclosed location, travel some 240,000 miles to the moon, and detonate on impact. Various news reports since 1958 have said project leaders considered using an atom bomb the same size as "Little Boy," the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, near the end of World War II.
Reiffel, who was cited for that information in those reports, now says he wasn't in on those discussions.
Contrary to some reports, Reiffel told CNN, the device would not have "blown up" the moon. "Absolutely not. It would have been microscopic, so to speak. It would have been, I think, essentially invisible from the Earth, even with a good telescope."
Reiffel had some brilliant minds on his team. One of them was an up-and-coming graduate student named Carl Sagan. Sagan went on to become one of the world's most renowned astronomers, creating the book and popular TV series "Cosmos."
But after working on the moon program, Reiffel said, Sagan violated security when he mentioned the still-classified project on a job application. "He did formally break the classification status of the project", Reiffel said of Sagan, who subsequently died in 1996.
Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, told CNN she's not sure if Sagan ever broke the classification, but if he did, she said, it wasn't intentional. "I can't imagine he would have done that knowingly," Druyan said.
By 1959, Project A-119 was drawing more concern than excitement.
"We didn't want to clutter up the natural radioactivities of the moon with additional bits of radioactivity from the Earth," Reiffel said. The project was abandoned.
Project planners also weren't sure of the reliability of the weapons, and feared the public backlash in the U.S. would be significant," Reiffel said.
"It disappeared in the files of the Pentagon", he said of the project. "They come up with what I believe was the right answer."
Contacted by CNN, the Air Force would not comment on Project A-119.

This is the first time I've posted something like this, but I feel that misinformation is running rampant here. My father's career was in inertial guidance and navigation systems and celestial navigation. My education started with my Dad 'bunny sucking' in the back seat of an F-104 over White Sands Missile Base chasing God knows what. (Actually, I know. But it's for another day.) He was intimately involved in all of the Gemini missions as a CAPCOM and engineer. He was also involved in many missile guidance systems from JPL, Lockheed, NASA, and the cruise missile systems (Boeing) among others. Before his death in 2000, he made it clear that his only regret was his involvement in PLACING tactical nuclear missile launchers on the Moon. While the Government would like us all to believe the concept was 'scrapped', it was not. I have tried to obtain un-edited (uncensored) photos of the moon in a specific location with no luck. NASA and/or the Govt. 'scrubs' all photos before release to the public. NASA's discussion of detonating a nuclear device on the Moon was a convenient cover for self destruction, should the need arise. Over the years, other countries have indicated a desire to place satellites and rovers on or over the Moon, placing the U.S. in a potentially compromising situation. They are and/or were there. . I respect all the opinions and people posting here. I mean no disrespect or offense. But you didn't see the look in my father's eyes when he told me about it. He was a scientist and engineer, and was but one of thousands of people involved in the early space programs and missile defense systems. Before the FOIA allows the release of this information, there will be a new crater on the Moon. Think what you want, or what makes you feel better. This is just the 'tip' of the proverbial iceberg. Makes me feel different every time I look up at a full Moon. Well, there you have it.
"""U.S. had plans to nuke the moon"" US is on the road to self destruction it seems. Along with the rest of the world.
what would the airforce comment about 54 years later? Essentially everyone reponsible of working in that project is already dead or retired.
This article doesn't mention that in 2010 they crashed a nuke into the moon and 2011 crashed a rocket and 2013 crashed a satellite ...i would like to know what they are destroying and why....
So, first there is a mysterious incident in Roswell in 1947. There are supposedly three small crafts recovered, for the facts of space travel physics they would most likely have been escape pods, meaning the actual ship crashed somewhere near by. Then, Russia and the USA, the only two countries with the technology to track a potential spacecraft, both race to get to the moon before the other, supposedly just for the sake of bragging rights. And now in 1958 the USA was on stand by to fire nuclear missiles at the moon. After going to the moon, we make a few quick trips and then never go back, like we got what we came for. Anybody else finding this chain of events a bit odd?
A lot of hogwash. The military has always made plans to do anything that does and does not apply to civil situations. Any plans that were formulated were just exercises in planning for the sake of planning. The pentagon will back this up.
if U.S.A. send a nuke to the the moon, it will be the END of humanity;because, Earth can not survive without the moon, and the scientists know this,.
One Little Boy-size nuke is not going to obliterate the moon. Read the article.
The destruction would have been local, just another small crater. But the insinuation that the event would not have been visible from earth even with a telescope it demonstably wrong. As evidenced by the small meteroid that was recorded impacting the moon in the following link. The rock stated as being around 880 pounds, hit with the energy of perhaps 15 tons of tnt. The observed fireball or flash was visible for eight seconds. The impactor was estimated to be traveling around 37,000 m.p.h. or about 10 miles per second. This are known or measured values. Additionally, the flash was momentarily brighter than the north star, and visible of course to anyone who happened to be looking at it. So that fact negates the contention of the writer above in the article. But just to see how really wrong that statement is, consider this. The measured energy of the little asteroid was around 15 tons of tnt. It left a crater about 130 in diameter, a good sized hole to be sure. Many explosions this size are routine now on earth, although still a sight to behold, and feel. The energy of the :little boy" uranium bomb exploded over Hiroshima was rated around 16 KILOTONS of energy, over at least a thousand times more energy. The brightness would be so much more than the little asteroid as to be laughable in comparison. The temperature when the uranium core is imploded is as the temperature of the bomb at detonation is in the MILLIONS of degrees, as compared to the asteroids tens of thousands, impressive as that is, thirty thousand degree temperature fireball that boils all the rock is brighter than an elecrric arc welder, which if you have ever observed casually from afar without a welding mask or glasses from perhaps a quarter mile away at construction sites or such, is still the brightest thing anyone has ever seen. And visualize that same center of brightness several thousand times brighter, because that is what the n bomb is. It is so bright the visual spectrum goes completely up to ultra violent and continues to x rays and gamma rays, the most energetic of all electromagnetic radiation. The asteroid gets to ultra violet only. And the fireball was sustained with the little asteroid for eight full seconds, as the rock and impact site was boiled and spread out in a spherical or some variation thereof and expanded creating the crater and blowing impacta and ejecta away, and remained hot enough to glow for eight seconds as it cooled off by expansion and conduction with the cold surface of the moon, and by radiation into the vacuum of space. So, a full eight seconds by the little asteroid that could. Multiply those effects by thousands or ten thousands. The "little boy completely destroyed everything within a 2.2 miles radius, It is estimated that it would have made a crater 1200 feet in diameter if exploded direction on, near, or under the surface. The ejecta would have been spread in a radiating outward pattern as witnessed by the craters already there, many of that size do have spoke ejecta characteristics, some don't. So, at least the musings or opinions that the event would have not been visible even with a telescope is ludricrous. Writers of these articles should at least check facts sometimes or even just ask someone that knows, instead of putting forth misinformation. The topics are good, I commend them for the doing of the articles, but there is always some glaring misinformation or agenda driven conclusion that really irks me. If I know these things as a layman, surely a science writer or the scientist themselves should, and they either dont or knowlingly wish to mislead people, or further some political or social agenda. In this case I assume they are just ripping on our Military for having the temerity to blow up an evil atomic bomb on the pristine and adored moon or something. But of course, a nuclear detonation of that size would have been a really impressive sight, a symbol of american power and might, and a real deterrent to anyone that didn't have the capability or guts, knowledge and resources to do it. The fireball if scaled up based on the known little asteroid that coulds fireball would have been a thousand times brighter, at least a thousand times bigger, and lasted a thousand times as long. eight thousand seconds is a long time, even if it only lasted a hundred times as long it still would have been a spectacle.
they knew that back then too. we know a lot of things in this world..doesnt stop us from acting stupid!
they were going to NUKE the moon!!! seriously!!! this is what we are dealing with when it comes to our leaders and so called intelligent people leading the world.. LOL
I do not even know how I stopped up right here, but I believed this post used to
be good. I don't realize who you're however certainly you're going to a famous blogger in the
event you aren't already. Cheers!
Hey there! I've been reading your site for a while now and finally got
the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Kingwood Tx!
Just wanted to say keep up the great work!
So if the project is to nuke a hologram than what the hell is A113 thats in every disney pixar movies is that another project to keep us under mind control or is it another destroy the world type? A119 and A113 very similar.
A113 is the room number from the school a lot of animators learned at for pixar

Why, did Dr. Evil have a Moon Base there with a laser pointed at Earth?
found lately. site owners to talk about It is nice to see people
??????????! ??? ?? ??????)
After looking over a lot of these comments, lets not forget that we did research into nuking the moon. We didn't actually nuke the moon...... Discussion over! :D
So that is how they make Cheese Whiz!...mmm Cheese Whizzz.
Hello There. I found your blog the use of msn. That is a very well written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and return to learn more of your helpful info. Thank you for the post. I'll certainly return.
If a nuke is detonated on the moon it might make the aliens inside it mad and they could retaliate with a bata bomb, the most powerfull bomb in the universe .One of the aliens told me they have such a bomb so I would suggest not to do it
US is like a dog that has to pee on every , fire hydrant
For USA the nuclear bomb represents peeing on hydrant , peeeing every freaking place .. for got sake stop freaking detonating the freaking bomb and keep it in your pants
嗨 sb门
Good idea to destroy the earth with the help of its neighbour......
men are scary.
Your a bit slow and late with your new again
ATS was on to this more then 6 year ago
and here
These years russians planing to paint the moon in red.
Does anyone else wonder about the mentality of people in high places who would consider nuking the moon because of embarassment over another country beating us to the punch launching a basket ball size orb into space? So nuke the moon, really?
Considering Sputnik was the emptied-out casing of an intercontinental ballistic missile and a clear shot across America's bow about the level of Soviet technology (hey, America, we do this thing in peace, but isn't ti cool that we can do it in a missile? Imagine if this had explosives instead of a radio in it...), I actually don't find the response of wanting to send a nuke into space all that unreasonable.
Seems this is a subliminal in your face paid for political announcement courtesy of Uncle Sam acknowledging just how far down the road they can kick the financial tsunami can we're facing.
What you don't know won't hurt you, once the baby boomers are all dead then we'll leak out to the then generation what coulda shoulda woulda been.
Unbelievable, yet so true.
I feel like I'm reading the onion. However, The study of radioactive effects in the environment of space would be important to a 1950's America believing that by the year 2000 we would be fighting the soviets in space using laser to lay claim to the moon. Is it a little extreme, yes but the benefits to future space warfare endeavors could prove useful making this plan whenever put into context of the time not as crazy as it is to a 2012 America.
For further clarification i do not in any way support nuking the moon (unless it has WMDs)
Its sad, so many people want to criticize our country for the bad it has done. The truth is, every country has a horrible past. The only reason why the US seems worse is because its a young nation and things are more recent as opposed to other countries who have done just as much in 1k years or so. Yes this country has done bad things to itself and others. But we are no different than other nations who have a past. If you don't like it or the US then leave and don't come. I'm tired of hearing people complaining about this country. Atleast you have the freedom to speak your mind here.
Just ignore them. I'm an immigrant and I'm proud of this great country.
US is the first democracy, the first of it's kind in technological advancement and thinking, the first of it's kind which lets people who enjoy the prosperity she gives, and criticize her.
I'm proud of the United States any given day.
I believe the Greeks was were the whole democracy thing started but what do I know...
And to the republic...for which it stands...
The US is a republic. A democratically elected republic.
Yeah, We the Sheeple "democratically" elect the politicians and then the lobbyists take over and hijack the sheeple's agenda and replace it with their own. Great system, huh?
You're an immigrant because your native country was even crappier than the US. By comparison the US is less crappy but still pretty crappy. Look at the stats, Polar Bear. Americans (as well as all other Earthlings) have nothing to be proud of. Savvy?
Everything the usa had or has was invented by Europeans.From Television to telephones from cars to jet engines from X rays to penecillin Jesus,.They even invented the usa lol
Operation Argus
Wow nuking the moon! The government is just full of things they should cover up. I have been following this weirdness with particular interest. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-886372 The world + crazy govt = hell in a hand basket...
Well, they didn't actually do it and it could have yielded a good amount of valid scientific data. Why should they be ashamed of it and cover it up?
... I'm guessing a colombia-like incident would have had much further-reaching consequences?
should have nuked alot of places in the 50's, but we missed the chance....
Yea China would have been a good start!!!
This is really disgusting. I have no respect for the U.S.A, damn shame of a country.
Yes we have a dark past and to some degree, a little darkness still today. From slavery, to countless civil rights violations, to Hiroshima, and to making a recipe to nuke the moon. Some of it is shameful but we have grown and evolved from most of it and I'll rather be here than that crap hole you are from. God bless the USA. Good or bad, still the greatest and most resilient nation on earth. You can't touch that.
Man, you should read about the Cambodian incursions during the Viet Nam war. That will absolutely make you throw up. We dropped more bombs on the Eastern part of Cambodia (CAMBODIA!) than we did in all of WW2 combined. They don't really teach that so much in our history classes growing up.
A little darkness today you say? OMG open your eyes people. It isn't good.
Its also a little deranged to assume "all" people in the USA are crazy because of a few unelected war mongering crazies...
Yeah we suck as a country. We only invented just about everything. Electricity, lightbulb, affordable cars, the airplane, TV, microwave, computers, the Internet, google, the iPhone and iPad, social media. Yeah what a horrible country.
Ha, "We" America did no such thing, this everything came from immigrated ideas of people whom America stole inventions from through patents. It certainly wasn't a we scenario it was a few individuals very few such as Nikola Tesla, Viktor Schauberger and others from all over the world most other names that you probably think did something have had no positive effect they are just thieves that sold to the highest bidder. America now replicates and simply miniaturizes. Patriotism is your new false religion.
you people act like one nuke will do more damage than a asteriod that have repeatedly struck the moon for thousdands of years, and for all you worried about radiaton..space is full of it..stop crying people not a big deal..the sun gives off billions more radition than one nuclear bomb will
Apparently there's a short film being made about it: https://www.facebook.com/NukeTheMoonTheFilm
If God wanted us to nuke the Moon, he would have placed Saddam's chemical weapons on it.
US is so irresponsible, its bad enough they nuked Marshall islands over 60 times knowing people inhabited the islands. Yet, they did it so they could understand the radioactive effects to people.
That was part of the Marshall Plan.
Idiots Nuke the moon...Wow!!!! There really isn't anythijg to say about this
Never say never.
I think this option had a real shot under "W"....I can just see him saying "is this really possible? let's do it right now!"
The man wanted to fire a missile at a hurricane afterall.
From Red White and Blow: "This only confirms that this country's been batsh!t for decades. The world's biggest trailer park with nuclear capability – outstanding!" Perfect description of the collective mentality of the USA.
This is seriously old news. We did a bunch of really really dumb things luckily this is one we decided not to do. Kind of funny though that this makes cnn front page now. Makes you wonder what agenda cnn is trying to push by bringing this up now considering it has been known for years. Clearly there is a point to it even if it is not totally obvious at first look.
This only confirms that this country's been batsh!t for decades. The world's biggest trailer park with nuclear capability – outstanding!
Obviously we didn't do it.
it's the thought that counts
cant post
Send the benners to the moon!
What else is in those archives we skipped on by? And what was prevented from entering?
wow i didnt know they were gonna blowup the moon ps: Harry was here:D
you're talking 60 years ago...who cares
I just realized that most of you are under 30 and never heard of this before
I always thought re-directing an small asteroid to crash into the center of your enemy's country be a better strategy then launching a nuclear weapon. If you could keep it a secret.
Genius. You should write a book about that very premise.
That would be clever. I was thinking detonating a nuke over the country and knocking out all their electronics with the EMP was dangerous but a meteor could become potentially a invisible strike too late to determine who was the aggressor. Only problem is if the rock is too big you could take out a good portion of the planet.
This is definitely doable. All you need is to set up a small station on, say, Moon or Mars, have them chip off the right-sized piece from the surface, attach some jet engines, give it enough fuel (also imported from Earth) – and send this piece down to Earth, hoping it will land somewhere near Russia.
Oh yeah, before launching,make sure the Russkies haven't discovered the concept of a telescope to see what you are doing.
Blow up the moon? It would be raining green cheese:)
the moon is a alien base kind of like the death star in star wars
"Sir we have a nuclear detonation on the moon."
We are earthlings, let's blow up earth things!
Here lies a real question.. Why is this news?
I did not win the power ball lottery that's why.
Sick.... When I see what kind of low life is walking around, I only feel sorry why their parents have not used condom and spared this beautiful planet from their mindless idiotic ideas.....
I have this bizarre nostalgia for growing up in the 1950s. Dad was at the plant, mom was in the kitchen and God was in his heaven.
Of course, I was a little white boy who didn't notice that black men were always picking up the garbage but never in the grocery store. And I had no idea what my mom was talking about when she quit her part-time job because the boss wanted her to be "nice to him". There was a father down the street who always took his son with him when he got in the car drunk because the police were less likely to arrest him in front of his little boy – seemed to me like pretty good thinking for a drunkard.
As far as H-bombs, we had more than the Russians as well as better planes and rockets so no problem there. Besides, there were plenty of boxes of pork and beans in the civil defense shelter in the bank basement.
But you know, I almost miss the USSR. We kind of had this mutual understanding. We wanted to make them into good little God-fearing capitolists and they wanted us to be good little atheistic communists but I never got the feeling that we really wanted to destroy each other, just an unconditional surrender.
The enemies we have now don't feel that way at all, they don't want conversion or capitulation, they want anniliation and total elimination. I still think we have the upper hand militarily and morally, but I don't think we'll ever see a surrender. Maybe the Ruskies weren't so bad after all.
That's just the evolution of the post-industrial Common Enemy.
During the Cold War it was the Pinko Commies who were, turns out, completely harmless; however, it did perpetuate the artificial need for the Military-Industrial Complex we were warned about.
Now it's the Terrorist who wants to chop off all our heads; however, they seem to be a threat only to themselves and each other and not to the White Devil we think they think we are (which is just fine with me).
Next it will be the ETs who will come to destroy our planet. (Unless we beat them to it, that is.) [see: Lockheed Skunkworks; see also http://www.thedisclosureproject.org
After that, who knows what the M-IC will dream up to perpetuate itself? A hyper-dimensional enemy perhaps? And then maybe God and the Debbil themselves?
Nuking the moon is so 50's! But yet it sounds like something George w. Bush would come up with. We have to fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them here! Mission accomplished!
Thanks for shoehorning G. W. into this discussion. Though completely irrelevant to this article, it's nevertheless important to insert personal feelings about G. W. or President Obama or both into all comments sections in all news blogs.
Wasn't W planning on searching for those pesky WMDs on the moon at one point?
Well when I think about nuking the moon, George W comes to mind that's all. Just imagine the discussion between bush and chenney when they decide to send a nuke to the moon.
Democrats need to stop living in the past.
"The Fog of War" an interview with former Defense Secretary Donald McNamara, circa 2003:
"At the time, we had a 17 to 1 strategic advantage in nuclear numbers. We'd done 10 times as many tests as they had. We were certain we could maintain that advantage if we limited the tests. The Chiefs we're all opposed. They said, "The Soviets will cheat." I said, "How will they cheat?" You won't believe this, but they said, "They'll test them behind the moon." I said, "You're out of your minds." I said, "That's absurd.""
I worked with a guy back in the '90's who said he worked as a technician at White Sands. He told me that the U.S. had exploded a nuke on the dark side of the moon.
You need to see the moon in the right time, in the right place... and in 1959 had few telescopes.
War, especially nuke war, is the product of psychosis.
Actually, the main concern about detonating a nuke on the moon is the radioactive cloud of moon dust it would create. This would pose no harm to life on Earth, but it could pose danger to satellites orbiting Earth.
The most risk this project would create was probably the launch itself. Imagine at that time in history if the Soviets observed a missile arching over... It could trigger a nuclear war! That would be risk enough to cancel the project.
It could be that the ETs who have (theoretically) been directing the government/military since forever prevented them from doing this because they won't tolerate nukes beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Human beings are dangerous creatures.!.....One day human overreach will be the end of humanity...A movie script come to life if you will.
This probably explains why we haven't been back to the moon
They did end up sending bombs just not nuclear bombs. Do your research when it detonated the moon rang like a bell for minutes and the rocks they studied from the moon are the same metals we use on our space shuttles and such. There is so much going on that the Gov will never tell us the truth.
Thank you, Superman.
For starters, I don't know if I should believe this story. Second, If it were true, but people who were planning didn't have any idea what the consequences were.
Without the moon, we (earth) wouldn't have seasons. Without seasons – can you think it would support human existence?
The tilt of the earth on its axis relative to the sun provides us with seasons.
The Moon helps maintain that "tilt". Without the Moon, the Earth would begin to wobble on its axis.
Point 1) The moon is a quarter the size of the Earth. A modern nuke wouldn't dent it, much less a weak 1950's one. No one was going to "blow up" the moon. They were going to drop a bomb on it. The same way we've dropped literally HUNDREDS on Earth over the past half century and the Earth is still going along just fine.
Point 2) The moon is NOT why we have seasons. That is primarily due to the angle of the axial tilt with relation to incoming solar rays. The moon has effects on tides, possibly geologic/volcanic activity, animal cycles, etc, but NOT on seasons.
So, what you are saying is that as long as you have your four seasons, you don't give a damn about the plight of surfers?
Krishna is right: it is scary how ignorant some people are, Krishna himself being a perfect example.
The moon does not cause seasons, i wonder what 1940's text book you are reading. The moon causes the tides and helps balance day and night. Do some research then come try again.
Wait! The Moon "balances day and night"? How does it accomplish this?
1940s?! Don't you mean 1490s?
I don't know if I can facepalm any faster or harder to this than I did. In retrospect, I hope you're joking.
a) it would take over a trillion nuclear missiles, detonated inside the core of the moon, to blow it up. They were launching one. It would have a much less of an effect on the moon than, say, someone throwing a pea at you.
b) The moon has absolutely no effect on the seasons – the position of the earth and the tilt of its axis relative to the sun does.
To say the moon has "absolutely no effect" is not true. Without the moon, the inclination of earth's axis would wobble over long periods of time from nearly 0 [degrees] to 85 [degrees]. Meaning that there would be no steady tilt of about 23.4 degrees and thus severely effect the seasons.
Actually, in a way, Krishna is partly correct.
Many cultures around the world judge the arrival of seasons by observing cycles of the moon. Of course, there is no causal relationship of moon to season change; but the cycles of the moon are in fact a way of keeping time, the arrival and passing of months (aka "moon cycles"), and when to expect and prepare for seasonal change (e.g., when to go out and plant or harvest crops, etc.).
Meh. That's a labeling issue, not a real world one. For all practical purposes, the natural effects of the seasons would happen no matter what you called them or how you demarcated them.
This story is bogus. The moon is a myth, we all know that.
You do realize the moon is drifting away from earth...right? Sooner or later it will be gone all together.
Ir sounds like more of the Great Military minds at work, as always, trying to dream-up endless justification for their job security.. Gotta keep that -Military Industrial Complex- going...to the exclusion of everything else.. Right?
Cut the Military budget back to realistic proportions and maybe we will have funds to build-up the country where it should be!
Blooorrkk... pppfffhhtttsstttffuffeee baasyy !! Glorp.
Yeah I think you could have seen a nuke go off with a telescope. But then again if there's no atmosphere would there still be a giant fireball?
A modest telescope would show a nuclear level explosion if it occurred where the sun wasn't shining. In full sunshine? perhaps at the megaton level. See the Astronomy Picture of the Day for 2001 December 8. Those impacts by meteors of the Leonid and other meteor showers have been a concern of NASA for years. Google and
Well, apparently the less than and greater than symbols keep whatever they bracket from showing. There must be some no HTML rule. I should have said Google (NASA Leonid strikes) and (NASA Marshall Lunar Impacts).
This would make a good movie, but in the movie, it really happened.

Read: Looking at Brady Skjei As A Potential Ryan McDonagh Type Of Player
While watching Team USA hold their evaluation camp for the World Junior Championships, Katie Strang of ESPN NY said that she was hearing that Rangers 2012 first round pick Brady Skjei was drawing comparisons to fellow Minnesota-born defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
Prior to being drafted, Skjei was described as a defenseman who can shut people down and projects to be a player similar to Ryan McDonagh.
Gordie Clark said that Skjei is the same kind of athlete as McDonagh and Chris Kreider.
Right after the draft, assistant GM Jeff Gorton said "His game is similar to McDonagh. He is a shutdown guy, elite skater, a big body. He is very willing to learn and has a lot of qualities that we like. I think it's an untapped guy that is only going to get better and looking down the road he is a really good fit for us."
Corey Pronman writes at ESPN Insider that Skjei has had his struggles at Minnesota but with his elite skating ability, good hockey sense and big body he still has a decent shot at gaining a spot with Team USA for the World Junios.

Monday, January 9, 2012
The Internal Revenue Service has released a new set of tax gap estimates for tax year 2006. The $300 Billion number for net uncollected tax that we had been using now looks like closer to $400 Billion.
"The new tax gap estimate represents the first full update of the report in five years, and it shows the nation's compliance rate is essentially unchanged from the last review covering tax year 2001.
The voluntary compliance rate — the percentage of total tax revenues paid on a timely basis — for tax year 2006 is estimated to be 83.1 percent. The voluntary compliance rate for 2006 is statistically unchanged from the most recent prior estimate of 83.7 percent calculated for tax year 2001."
The IRS suggests taxpayers did not pay $450 Billion on time in 2006. The tax agency eventually collects around $65 Billion was collected via audits and late payments. The result is a net tax gap for 2006 of $385 Billion, $95 Billion higher than the $290 Billion previously estimated for 2001.
The increased gap is largely due to "the growth in total tax liabilities. In addition, some growth in the tax gap estimate is attributed to better data and improved estimation methods."
According to the Service -
"As was the case in 2001, the underreporting of income remained the biggest contributing factor to the tax gap in 2006."
The complete breakout:
•Under-reporting accounted for an estimated $376 Billion of the gross tax gap in 2006, up from $285 Billion in 2001.
•Tax non-filing accounted for $28 Billion in 2006, up from $27 Billion in 2001.
•Underpayment of tax increased to $46 Billion, up from $33 Billion in the previous study.
The IRS found -
"Overall, compliance is highest where there is third-party information reporting and/or withholding. For example, most wages and salaries are reported by employers to the IRS on Forms W-2 and are subject to withholding. As a result, a net of only 1 percent of wage and salary income was misreported. But amounts subject to little or no information reporting had a 56 percent net misreporting rate in 2006."
So increased 1099 reporting is to be expected, which has already begun with the new Form 1099-K.
The biggest single component, representing 27% of the $450 Billion estimate, is "business income" for individuals (on the Form 1040), which accounted for $122 Billion of the under-reporting amount – and area where there is minimal third-party reporting. "Small corporations" (assets less than $10 Million) under-reporting was only $19 Billion. I expect most of this is from under-reporting on Schedule C.
There is no doubt from these findings that Schedule Cs will be an audit target, especially those with consistent losses.
However – I still believe it is bad advice to tell ALL taxpayers who have a Schedule C business to incorporate.
As I have said in the past –
"The decision to incorporate a business requires careful review of all the specific facts and circumstances of the individual situation. And taxes are not the only consideration. In a majority of cases it is not financially beneficial, either in the short or long term, to incorporate.
While incorporating will certainly reduce one's 1040 audit risk, it is very often not the best idea for the average sole proprietorship. Incorporation can generate much more paperwork, recordkeeping, federal and state tax filings, costs, and general all-round "agita" than it is worth.
The advice that one should incorporate solely for the purpose of avoiding an audit seems to me to be saying, 'If you want to cheat on your taxes you can incorporate and the IRS will not audit you'. It is not good tax or financial advice.
An IRS audit is not something that should be avoided at all costs. Tax returns should be prepared, and decisions about choosing a business entity should be made, in such a manner as to generate the absolute least amount of federal, state and local taxes (income and payroll) within the parameters of federal and state laws. If you will pay less tax (income and payroll), fees and other costs by filing a Schedule C you should do so, honestly and ethically, and not worry about being audited.
If you are reporting all of your income, deducting only legitimate and documented expenses, and keeping good records then any audit should result in "no change".
Besides, as I previously reported – less than ½ of 1% of 1040s are actually chosen for a "sit down" audit.

We live in a day and age of information at your fingertips, instant messaging, live around the world news updates, internet the speed of light, little tablets with books and apps, rocket ships, little race cars on Mars, etc, etc, and the financial part of our government is working with 6 year old stats and making it sounds like it just happened yesterday.

Several thousand people demonstrated in Athens to protest recent police operations against squatters in public buildings that have been condemned by the opposition. The protesters -- estimated by police at around 3,500 and nearly double that by media -- marched to the Athens court complex and police headquarters to demand the release of scores of individuals arrested in the sweeps.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Latest Album News
Posted on February 12, 2008An earlier report straight from the mouth of Monte, Soulfly's A&R man. "They are in the studio as we speak, and have a about 5 songs tracked so far, plus a few cover songs. Roy Mayorga is officially back in the band and is out there with them. The only 2 song titles I have are "Downstroy" and "Enterfaith". They are recording at Chaton Studios in Phoenix, with Max producing and Otto "Rusty" D'Agnolo engineering. They should be done in approx. 5 weeks. It is not yet know who will mix the LP."
Remember that 3 song demo we told you that Max was working on? Well, it's complete and in house and the cause of some new excitement here at Roadrunner... As told, it was produced by Max Cavalera himself. Greg Hall (ex-Sacred Reich) guested on the drums and Danny Marianino (from the Phoenix band Northside Kings) added some guitar and bass tracks. Recording took place at Chaton Studios in Phoenix, with Otto "Rusty" D'Agnolo engineering. Rusty has a long history with Max, having recorded the legendary Nailbomb album Pointblank back in 1994, as well as the Sabbath cover "Under The Sun" that appeared on the LP Nativity In Black II last year. Here's a quick rundown on the songs:
1. "Downstroy" - a future Soulfly classic with a driving riff on the verse that is reminiscent of "Eye For An Eye" with a "Chaos A.D."-era guitar tuning.
2. "Enterfaith" - a more "Primitive"-style track with a monster hook and some adventurous vocals by Max.
3. "I Will Refuse" - a ferocious cover of the Pailhead song. Max played all instruments on this one, cepting for the drums.
A while ago we wrote that Max Cavalera, founder of Soulfly, was heading into the studio to start some preliminary stuff stuff on his own for the recording of the upcoming Soulfly release. Also, that he may be producing the effort himself. Well, we have been true to our word. Max has recorded the better portions of three songs, all in demo fashion. Two of the tracks are originals and the third being a cover track of a song called "I Will Refuse" by Pailhead. Word is that these initial demos Max is doing are sick (in a good way). "I cannot even begin to tell you how sick they are," exclaimed someone close to the project. As hinted earlier, Max is looking at possibly producing the new effort on his own, which is the main reason for recording these three demos - so Max can go in and get a feel of the studio. interesting fact - the same guy whom engineered the Nailbomb effort, Otto D'Agnolo, is doing the same in the studio with Max right now. Vocals for the three tracks were said to be completed Oct 3, with mixing taking place over the last couple days of this week. Doubt we'll be able to share these demos with you, but that is what is goin' on right now... Oh, did you know that back in August Max jammed with a band called The Cremains? Word is they are a Navajo Indian band. At a Navajo Indian Reservation in Tuba City, Arizona, in the USA, Max joined them on stage for "Roots" and "Boom".
Did you go to the UK Ozzfest in May 2001? See our exclusive photos of live Slipknot & Soulfly, plus the Soulfly Signing Session at the Kerrang! tent! Can you see yourself in any of them?
You might remember a previous mention that the film "Driven" - written by, produced by, and starring Sylvester Stallone - will be using Junkie XL's track "Legion". Did we mention Sylvester Stallone is in the movie? Well, now the trailer for this film will be using Junkie XL's "Def Beat" along with Soulfly's track "Bleed", off their self titled debut release. The trailer for the film "The Forsaken" by Sony Screen Gems will be using Coal Chamber's "Loco" and Soulfly's "Mulambo".
Marcello, bassist of Soulfly, sat down for an interview with emuse-ic after sound check at the Newport Music Hall in Ohio, USA. Half of the text relaying Marcello's answers are actually links which you can click on to hear Marcello speak the answers himself. Well worth a peak.

8 Surprising Allergy Facts for the Holidays
4. Knit Softly
A sweater is a classic seasonal present. But watch which knit you pick. For instance, put one of those great "to look at" rough knits against sensitive skin and your gift recipient will be itching to get it off – now! And it's not just the person with an allergy-prone hide: "Wool is the prickliest natural fiber known, as sheep hair has barbs," says Dr. Ham Pong.
Many people get itching and redness when their skin is directly exposed to the fabric. For those with eczema, the effects are magnified. Related to wool is lanolin, which is made from sheep fat. The emollient can cause allergic contact dermatitis and eczema flare-ups.
Advice: Check labels carefully to avoid wools that bother your gift-getter. Or go upscale and purchase alpaca, which is highly allergy-friendly and gorgeous.
5. Bathing in Itch
There's a woman on your gift list who you don't know to well. Naturally, you head to the bath products because, what woman doesn't love those? Well, that depends. If she has nut allergy, she won't love you for the macadamia-based skincare product.
If she has contact dermatitis or other skin sensitivity, Allergic Living columnist Dr. Sandra Skotnicki, a dermatologist, says to avoid fragranced products. She also counsels opting for facial and body soaps that are mild and unscented.
Dr. Skotnicki says: "Fragrance is still the number one cause of allergic contact dermatitis to toiletry products, with an incidence of about 4 per cent within the North American population."
Advice: What smells great in the store can be highly irritating to the skin, and the airways for those with asthma. Look for unscented products rather than "hypoallergenic". The latter is widely used, but many so-called "hypoallergenic" products contain fragrance.
6. Think: What's in That Drink?
When uncle pulls out his coveted single malt Scotch, surprisingly those in the room with celiac disease can also hoist a glass. While Scotch and rye whiskeys are derived from fermented grains, the gluten is thoroughly removed during the thorough distillation process of whiskeys. Wines and ports are grape-based and also generally gluten-free. (See more on gluten-free drinks here.)
The nut-allergic also have to be mindful around alcohol (though wine is generally safe). Oddly, despite its name, the liqueur Amaretto usually does not contain almonds, but check with a manufacturer to be certain of a specific brand is safe.
Advice: Be on the lookout for mixed drinks. Celiacs and the allergic alike must watch out for gluten or allergens in drink blends. When it comes to alcohol, the tree-nut allergic have to be mindful since some liqueurs (e.g. Frangelico and Kahana Royale) and brands of gin can contain nuts. And did you know that Southern Comfort contains nut derivatives?
7. Frosty Around the Food
It's no secret that those with food allergies and celiac disease have to keep their guard up over the holidays. But even if you've explained your allergies and the concept of cross-contamination – remember that a favorite auntie doesn't live with these restrictions daily and may mess up. Ingratiate yourself into the kitchen, ask to read labels and ask what's in a favorite recipe..
Advice: here are a few suspect foods to be on the lookout for this time of year:
* pre-basted turkey – ingredients can include soy or gluten or milk. (Speak to the hosts about label-reading soonest.)
* stuffing: gluten and nut alert!
* gravy: If the hostess is at all hazy on her many ingredients, take a pass.
* Hanukkah menus can be tricky to navigate. Latkes usually contain egg and wheat and often dairy (cheese latkes are popular). Consider contributing our allergy-friendly, gluten-free latkes.
* Hanukkah gelt ingredients can include dairy and nuts. Best to provide allergy-friendly gelt.
* dessert: the wisest course is to offer to bring it, since desserts are potential minefield of nuts, gluten, dairy or egg. If store-bought, soy is often an ingredient, used as an emulsifier.
8. Holiday Stress
We all "think" we're having fun over the holidays, but sometimes all the preparations, travel or entertaining, plus late nights can add up to a lot of stress. And that, warns the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology can hinder your immune system. The ACAAI also notes the risk for asthmatics because as family gathers, so does the likelihood that someone is there spreading viral illness.
Advice: Watch that you're getting a little decompress time, make sure in the chaos of a busy house that you or your child is taking your usual asthma or allergy medications.

WASHINGTON (AP) - New rankings show a third of the District of Columbia's charter schools that are subject to annual rankings are high-performing "Tier 1" schools.
Data from the D.C. Public Charter School Board released Friday shows more than half of the schools are in the mid-performing "Tier 2" range. Eight schools, or about 12 percent, are low performing. In total, 68 schools were ranked.
The charter schools are scored on a 100-point scale. They are measured on student achievement on standardized tests, attendance and the re-enrollment rates for families.
Tier 1 schools are exempted from certain oversight requirements and are eligible rewards that include priority for surplus city school buildings. Tier 3 schools are subject to greater scrutiny and can be closed if they don't improve.
Many charter schools were not ranked.

Odd, they seemed a little odd, I will admit. The link in their 'signature' was odd also, since the site was obviously boiler-plate, and didn't make a lot of sense when ran through the translator. Some odd info about healthcare, no contact info or anything.
Hmm, interesting, thanks for the notice Peter

ferm LIVING originates from a graphic design agency in Aarhus, Denmark, founded by Trine Andersen, creative manager for ferm LIVING. Trine has a background in advertising and graphic design. Back in 2005, Trine decided, mostly for fun, to visit a clairvoyant. Trine was a little astonished when the clairvoyant saw a little bird confused sitting on a branch, not knowing which way to fly. This sight was essential for Trine's decision to follow her dream of starting a business. Passion for graphic design, interior design and fashion is the nerve in ferm LIVING and the little bird that did not know where to fly found its way and now sits on top of the company logo.
The first wallpaper collection was launched in February 2006 and since then, ferm LIVING has introduced acrylic ornaments, wall stickers and a second wallpaper collection in August 2007. This year marks the launch of a number of new products such as bedding, greeting cards and pillows.
ferm LIVING's products are intended for people who are interested in design and who are not afraid of being a bit bold when they decorate. The inspiration for ferm LIVING's designs comes from many different things: fashion, nature, architecture, flee markets, traveling the world, even old needlework books serve as inspiration. Trine has an eye for taking things like retro designs and elements from nature and re-interpreting them in a way that makes them clean and modern.

SHARKSAW RockEater® and Compass Saws
Filed under: Uncategorized
Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional contractor, if you're in the habit of working with sheetrock, you have to check out today's featured products: the RockEater® and Compass saws by Sharksaw. These things are designed to rip right through a variety of different materials – in addition to both saws cutting through sheetrock/drywall, the RockEater® can also tackle cement board, and the Compass Saw has the power to handle wall paneling, plywood, and even desk and table tops.
Equipped with pointed tips, the blades of both these saws are built to punch right into the material you're cutting, so getting a cut started is really easy. Both types of saw have chrome-plated, electrically hardened blades in common, but their respective blade designs are also what differentiate them from one another. The RockEater® has a thicker, wider blade that makes it perfect for cutting sheetrock to size, or cutting out sections for outlet boxes or pipe repairs. On the other hand, the Compass Saw has a narrower blade that can be easily maneuvered through more detailed operations, like making curved or circular cutouts in wood and furniture.
Both tools sport industrial-stength handles that have molded-in fingerholds, which let you get a firm, comfortable, and non-slip grip while sawing.

Two away matches added up to two more W's for the Carbon Dinos last week. On Tuesday the team headed to Roosevelt to take on Union. It took only three games to put them away. Carbon took them down 25-19, 25-09, and 25-11.
They used that momentum to go into Grantsville on Wednesday and make short work up there as well with another three game victory. The final in that meeting was Carbon 25-13, 25-10 and 25-16 over Grantsville.
Coach Cristin Johnson was very pleased with the team's performance in the last two games. "We usually have one game we struggle with in our matches, but in these matches we played complete games from beginning to end. There were no games in which we struggled."
In the Union game Megan Garvin had nine kills followed by Britni Greenwood with seven and Ericka Potts with six. Julia Potts had 28 set assists and Whitney Oliver had five service aces. It was a balanced team effort that dominated Union in the sweep.
With no break, Garvin continued to be a force at the net against Grantsville with 13 kills. Julia Potts had 31 set assists to run the offense. Whitney Oliver kept sharp at the line with another three service aces.
The team will come home for a match-up with Ben Lomand for the final non-region match up on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Game time will be 6:30 at the Carbon High gym.
The team will begin Region 8 play at Delta on Sept. 20.

THOMASTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Hundreds of wood items will be on sale at a discount at the Maine State Prison Showroom this weekend.
Furniture, toys, boats and dozens of other items were made by inmates in the prison's wood shop program. The wares have been sold out of the showroom since the 1930's, but the program itself started at the prison more than 150 years ago as way to teach inmates new skills when are released back into society.
Inmates make between one to three dollars an hour and work six hours a day five days a week. Prison officials say some inmates have used the woodworking skills to help them find a job after getting out of prison.
'Woodworking, no questio,n is therapeutic, we see that transition real well into any number of jobs when they arrive back on the streets,' said Bob Walden, the director of industries programs at the Maine State Prison.
The Spring Spectacular where all the items in the store are discounted 25 percent will run until April 21st.

FORT DRUM A shift in strategy calls for a shift in thinking.
The 10th Combat Aviation Brigade commander said his units coming deployment, with the goal of supporting instead of leading Afghan forces, will require such a shift.
As their strategic environment changes, the way we support them changes, said Col. David J. Francis, the brigades commander. We adapt what we are doing to meet the needs of our ground forces.
About 2,200 personnel will depart this spring for an anticipated nine-month deployment. During that time, the soldiers will perform a variety of missions, such as attack support, reconnaissance, air assault, medical evacuations and personnel movements.
It will be their fifth deployment since 2001 and their fourth to Afghanistan.
Col. Francis spoke about the mission last week in a phone interview with the Times.
This week, he is away from the post overseeing the brigades high-altitude training at Fort Carson, Colo.
He expressed no surprise the brigade received deployment orders.
Our mission is to always be ready, regardless of what mission the Army gives us, he said. Im 100 percent confident in the abilities and the training of our soldiers to perform activities in Afghanistan.
In the past few months, soldiers from the brigade have completed exercises at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif., and the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Polk, La.
Brigade soldiers also helped in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, moving emergency personnel and supplies around the New York City area.
Decisions have not been finalized as to where the brigade will be located and how many of each type of soldier will deploy.
The deployment will be the first in which the brigade will use the M-model Black Hawk helicopter, which it spent several months training soldiers to use.
The helicopter features a much-improved digital interface that can help control the aircraft, allowing pilots to focus on the situation on the ground.
The brigade received a large number of high-level military awards during the last deployment to Afghanistan in 2010 and 2011, including seven Distinguished Flying Crosses and more than 80 Air Medals with Valor.
Col. Francis said the award recipients are an inspiration to their fellow soldiers as they prepare to leave.

|In February of next year, all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop over-the-air analog transmissions, and begin broadcasting only in digital. If you receive your television signals via cable or satellite, you won't be affected. If you rely on over-the-air signals captured by an antenna, however, you may need to adjust your sets. Older televisions, especially those produced before March of 2007, may not be able to decode the digital signals. The government is offering vouchers good for $40 towards the purchase of a converter box to retrofit those older sets and prepare them for the switchover. In this segment, Ira and guests talk about why the transition is happening, and what viewers like you might need to do.

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
An October 5 editorial by the Wall Street Journal used anti-union rhetoric and pro-privatization arguments to celebrate Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's resignation and replacement by Acting Deputy Education Secretary John King. The editorial perpetuated several well-worn education policy myths, and mischaracterized the economic outcomes of for-profit colleges and the effects of voucher programs for low-income students of color.Research 22 minutes ago
Fox News reported a bogus story about a California mom who claims to have been kicked out of an REI sporting goods store for complaining about a man frightening her daughter in the store's women's restroom. Fox's reporting was based on statements made by an anti-LGBT hate group with a history of fabricating similar incidents in order to fearmonger about transgender people using public restrooms.Research 42 minutes ago
Cable morning news shows mostly ignored The New York Times' editorial board's call for House Republicans to "shut down the Benghazi committee" now that it has lost "any semblance of credibility." The editorial was mentioned in only one segment on CNN's New Day, and ignored by Fox News' Fox & Friends, as well as by MSNBC's Morning Joe hosts -- who stayed silent about the editorial during an interview with committee chair Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) as he vigorously defended what is now one of the longest congressional investigations in history.Research 3 hours and 11 minutes ago
Fox & Friends mounted a full-throated defense of Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson after his comments on the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon garnered national media attention. During an October 6 appearance on Fox & Friends, Carson explained that if confronted by a shooter asking about his religion, he would not only refuse to "cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me." Fox hosts and contributors accused "mainstream media" of "completely irresponsible" coverage, saying his comments had been overblown and taken out of context.Research 3 hours and 28 minutes ago
Matt Drudge appeared on The Alex Jones Show, where he pushed bizarre conspiracies and falsehoods, and attacked Hillary Clinton as "old" and "sick." The Drudge Report is a big driver of traffic to Jones' Infowars website and the interview cemented their relationship, with Drudge and a "star-struck" Jones heavily praising each other.Research 5 hours and 14 minutes ago
Simon Conway, an Iowa conservative radio host who frequently hosts Republican presidential candidates, has consistently attacked and promoted falsehoods about Planned Parenthood in recent months following the release of heavily edited videos by an anti-abortion group.Research 6 hours and 13 minutes ago
Conservative media are distorting an answer given by Hillary Clinton during a debate in the 2008 Democratic primary to falsely claim that Clinton generally opposed the federal regulation of firearms during the 2008 race, but in a reversal now, favors such federal laws. In fact, in the 2008 debate answer cited by conservative media, Clinton was talking about one specific policy -- whether states should require or not require the registration of handguns -- and her current support for federal laws to improve background checks on gun sales and ban assault weapons are consistent with her campaign positions in 2008.
