The size of power bricks has to do with how much power it has to output. A cell phone typically charges on a USB standard which is only 5 Volts and ~1 amp. By comparison, if you read your power brick you'll see it's 19V and probably ~7-8 amps. That means it pushes out a lot more power, and since power transformers are only so efficient, some of that results in heat.

Naval Academy Midshipmen Visit Georgia
Posted on: November 19, 2013 08:00 EST by Midshipman 2nd Class Katherine Macvarish
Midshipman 2nd Class Katherine Macvarish is one of six midshipmen studying abroad this semester as part of the Russian Language Study Abroad Program. Here, she describes a nine-day trip the mids took to the country of Georgia.
The rain poured down outside as our group huddled damply around the table. Several of us had already made the treacherous excursion down the slick wooded path to the outhouse. Other than that, no one dared to leave the room.
As the minutes passed and nothing occurred, the tension in the room gradually ebbed and we began to relax and joke around. Suddenly, we heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps on the deck outside. We stared in terror at the door as it creaked open, and the ghastly entrance light showed that all our fears had come true. A rumble of thunder rolled through the room as our smiling landlady stepped inside, carrying a fifth tray laden with freshly baked food.
I can think of no time in my life when I have been more continuously gorged than my nine days in Georgia. As part of the Russian Language Study Abroad Program, six midshipmen including myself travelled through the country to get first-hand perspectives on the 2008 war with Russia.
Though we would come to learn more of the complex layers of Georgia culture, at first we were overwhelmed by the most obvious aspect: Georgian hospitality. In no other place have I seen the like.
The Georgians take enormous pride in feeding and tending to their guests, and will prepare feasts at any hour even for complete strangers. Pitchers of liquid at breakfast are more likely to be expensive wine than juice. To tell the host we enjoyed a dish was to request at least three more servings of it. The one downside to this is that, as guests, we had to receive this hospitality graciously or offend our hosts. Thus, we grimly chewed down four or five massive meals a day.
When our digestive systems finally adjusted, we realized there were far more interesting things to experience in Georgia than just the food. Beneath the smiling exteriors, the Georgians have steely cores. This is a country that in 2008 faced the wrath of a nation 60 times its size, with more than 30 times its population.
With international help, the Russian invasion stopped short of Georgia's capital Tbilisi after five days, however Russia still controls more than 20 percent of Georgia's sovereign territory. Georgia struggles to resist Russian political pressure, and another war is an eminent possibility.
To live in the shadow of such a powerful enemy is no easy task, and we received many interesting perspectives on it from journalists, sailors, refugees, doctors, and members of the U.S. embassy. However, the group most threatened by Russian pressure is of course the military.
For me, the most interesting discussion we had was at the major cadet training center, the National Defense Academy of Georgia. The Defense Academy is new, built in 2011. Only three years earlier, this area had been a military base which was obliterated by the Russians during the invasion. The new buildings stand defiant and gleaming, a sign of the modernization occurring within the Georgian military.
Their academy is small relative to ours, with a class size of approximately 150 and only one or two women per class.
We began with a presentation to a sleepy group of cadets who were summoned from leave to greet us. Though quiet at first, when they started giving us a tour of their facilities, their enthusiasm soon overcame their drowsiness. All of the cadets were fervent about their service and excited for the opportunities it might afford them.
Their training is much like ours, with four years of military preparation, a college degree, and then 5 years of service. They discussed the woes of plebe life, the relative difficulty of classes, training for their monthly fitness tests, cheering for the rugby team (their only interscholastic team), and the struggle to make weekends fun.
The most interesting conversation that I had was with Mikhail Machablishvili, a platoon commander at the academy who is also a 2013 USNA graduate from 6th Company. He has in-depth knowledge of both academies, and to hear his perspective on what the Georgian academy is doing right and wrong was fascinating.
Their academy prioritizes military training over academic development, which can be more fun – as when they shoot off RPGs – but also fails to develop communication and critical thinking skills. They do not have a system of peer leadership as USNA does. Everything is run by sergeants and a few officers, and the cadets for the most part just do what they are told.
The purpose of the academy is still very general and unfocused, which can result in problems with interpretation. Machablishvili is currently working with the higher leadership to develop a mission statement. The cadets commission into a military facing very formidable odds, and they need the best training they can get.
Though the military training is still developing, the warrior spirit had been inculcated in these cadets since childhood. No matter where we went in the country, from wineries in the mountains to festivals in Tbilisi, a fierce determination was present. The Georgians will eagerly share everything that they have with a guest, but they will never willingly surrender anything to an enemy.
My first impression was that Georgian culture is very different from American culture. However, once I adjusted to the exotic food and unique language, I realized that it could in fact be summed up with a very familiar phrase: "No better friend, no worse enemy."
Our travels through Georgia were eye-opening, even inspiring. None of the midshipmen granted this opportunity will ever forget this incredible experience.

I am using a satellite internet service. Internet service is supposed to be always on, but it does not stay connected. If I go to IE and click on tools, there is a way the connection can be repaired. It takes a couple of minutes to do this. I spoke to my provider, but they tell me it's a problem with my computer. Can anyone shed some light on this matter. Thanks
If you are always repairing the connection, which most of the times it is just releasing and renewing the DHCP lease, then I can't see why it is a O/S Problem. seems like the router from the ISP is not keeping the connection open. Next time it drops, goto Start-->Run and type cmd. When the window pops up type "ipconfig" and see if you still have an IP address.

Senate Democrats have released a draft of a healthcare bill that would introduce sweeping changes to the current insurance system which many consider to be dysfunctional.
The proposal, sponsored by Ted Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, would require all Americans to buy health insurance and make it possible to buy affordable long-term care insurance from the government for about $65 per month, according to the Associated Press.
Other provisions include stricter regulations of private insurance companies to make it illegal to deny coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
Meanwhile, as a similar bill is being fashioned in the House of Representatives.
"Our economic recovery and nation's fiscal future hinge on fixing what's broken in our healthcare system – lowering costs to families and businesses, preserving choice of doctors and plans, and assuring quality health care for all Americans," says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Commentators believe any final healthcare proposals are bound to pit Republicans and Democrats against each other.
Most Republicans, for example, tend to reject the notion of a publicly-run system saying it would drive private insurers out of business.
However, many Democrats counter this by stressing a government option would enhance competition and encourage cost-savings.
The costs of the reform are estimated at more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

Hello. Im Matt and I am just discovering the world of PHP and of coarse just registered to this forum.
Although PHP is new to me, coding in general is not. I learned HTML on my own and in school took classes for QBasic. The language is not completely foreign to me. Although QBasic is ancient a lot of the code is very similar. This stuff comes naturally to me.
Im so glad I discovered what PHP is all about. It allows me to do all the things I never though I would be able to do.
Now that I introduce myself Ill get down to the problems Im having. I feel that the code I wrote is in proper syntax. I dont understand why it isnt working. Im sure it is spagetti code but Im still learning and experiment..
Im having trouble getting functions and $_GET to work properly or at all really...
function gofoward()
{ echo "NEXT"; }
function goback()
{ echo "BACK"; }
$action = $_GET['action'];
if ($action = "next")
{ gofoward(); }
elseif ($action = "back")
{ goback(); }
else {}
<! -------HTML CODE-Website-Content----->
Back
Next
**The goal is to display a new image on the page by clicking "Next" or Back"
**But this is only test code to see if its working properly and its not.
**The page automatically displays "NEXT" from inside the function regardless of the value of
**the $action var which I do not believe is even being assigned its value from $_GET at all
**Another issue Im having and dealing with a 3 digit variable to correspond with my image gallery.
**EX: 000.jpg + 005.jpg + 010.jpg + 115.jpg
**I want to be able to add/subtract the number in a variable while always keeping it at 3 digits.
$dig1 = 0;
$dig2 = 0;
$dig3 = 0;
$img = $dig1. $dig2. $dig3;
**This was my solution but seams sloppy and unconventional.
**Is there a way to have a var = 000 and change it to 001 then 002 and so on?

I have successfully joined data from a csv file to a shapefile in QGIS but for some reason I am having trouble symbolizing my data. I want to use a graduated symbology however this option is not available for any of the columns for my joined table. I have tried saving as a new layer but this does not change the issue. Has anybody got any tips to get around this?
The problem most likely is that all CSV columns have been imported as text fields. Text cannot be used for graduated styles.
To fix this, you need a .csvt file for your CSV which specifies the data type of CSV columns explicitly. Basically, a .csvt file is a text file with only one line, e.g.
For a CSV file with three columns. More info: http://underdark.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/how-to-specify-data-types-of-csv-columns-for-use-in-qgis/
You'll be able to verify if specifying data types worked, by checking the csv layer's "Fields" tab and the data types listed there.
I was trying to use the CSVT file too...
I got better results by simply saving a Libre Office spreadsheet to a DBF.
Then bring in the DBF into QGIS as a vector layer - and it will come in as a table.
The fields in the DBF in QGIS seem to auto-format quite nicely, whereas I couldn't get the CSV / CSVT file to work at all.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The board of the embattled Baxter Academy of Technology and Science made their case to Maine's Charter School Commission Monday that Baxter Academy can continue without its fired executive director, John Jaques. In two weeks, the school will find out whether Maine's Charter School Commission agrees and will be willing to grant them a charter contract.
Baxter Academy received a conditional charter from the commission last July. As of Monday, the school had letters of intent from 156 students, and 12 other students were on the wait list. It was planning to get commitment letters from the students in the next couple of weeks.
But on March 7, Baxter's board announced that it had ousted Jaques as executive director, citing concerns of mismanagement. Jaques countered that the school fired him at the whim of a big donor. And just last Friday, March 22, Portland's Mayor Michael Brennan asked the attorney general's office to look into Baxter's management, and how much oversight the charter school commission has actually given the school. A spokesperson for the attorney general's office said the letter as been received and would not comment further.
At Monday's hearing, members of the Charter Commission questioned Baxter's board on where the school's finances are now, as well as how prepared it is to start the academic program this fall.
The board said it's at about 72 percent of its fundraising goal for the year, and feels strongly it can raise the other $100,000 if it can show it has a contract from the charter commission. The board also showed off its newly hired head of school, Freeport teacher Michele LaForge, who spoke enthusiastically about some of the project-based learning initiatives the school would offer students.
Board members also told the commission that any lawsuits that might come of this dispute with Jaques will be covered by insurance and should not interfere with the academic program. Board Vice Chair Allison Crean Davis said, "We just want to see the school open September 3rd and make it incredibly successful beyond that. The turmoil around this is just noise to that effort and we're trying hard to ignore that noise and focus on what's important which is the education of our kids."
The commission also heard from supportive parents and potential students. Tammy Gagne, whose son Alec hopes to go to the school next year said, "My son doesn't simply want this charter. He needs it."
But there were others who were critical of Baxter's board. The charter commission received letters from two former members of the school's advisory board, and heard from a third. All were concerned that Jaques was fired at the wishes of a donor, not because he was a poor manager. Former advisory board member Carl Hesselbart said he didn't even realize he was no longer on the advisory board because he hadn't heard anything from the current board of directors. Hesselbart said, "because of everything that's happened, we don't believe that this was the school we were supporting."
Jaques was in the audience. He did not speak during public comment, but he did read this statement to reporters: "We all are here wanting the best for Maine students. Clearly this is a new group moving forward with a new plan. Some good information was presented today, however it raises even more questions. I was disappointed to hear the board chair disparage the work and contributions of former members of the advisory board and former members of the board of directors. I would also like to see the documents that were provided to the commission today be made public. The future of charter schools in Maine depends on transparency".
Jaques did not take questions, so it is unclear what questions he believes the testimony raised, or when he felt the board chair disparaged the work of the former advisory board members.
Charter Commission Chair Jana Lapoint said she heard a lot of new details about the academic program that she had been waiting for, and that she was excited about what the school planned to offer. She said the commission should have all the information it needs to vote on the charter contract in two weeks, but it will be carefully going through the financial information the school is providing. "I think they've pretty much covered everything," Lapoint said. "We need to make sure that budget can handle it and those donations are for real, and that their line of credit is secured."
The Charter Commission is expected to vote on whether to give Baxter Academy a charter contract during its regular meeting on April 8 at 1 p.m.

New poll shows 3 out of 4 oppose hikes in flight tax
A campaign to persuade the Chancellor to drop planned hikes in the tax levied on all flights leaving the UK is being launched today at airports across the country, including Belfast International Airport, as a new poll is released showing 3 out of 4 people think that Air Passenger Duty (APD) should not go up in the next Budget. Of those saying APD should not go up 49 per cent said APD should be reduced Only 6 per cent said APD should be increased. The Chancellor announced in this year's Budget that APD will rise by double inflation in 2012.
Passengers travelling through airports will be leafleted by staff wearing 'Hands off our Holiday, Mr Taxman' T-shirts and are being urged to tell their MPs to say 'Hands off our holiday' to the Chancellor. The campaign, backed by the Airport Operators Association (AOA), Board of Airline Representatives in the UK (BAR-UK), and the British Air Transport Association (BATA) is urging people to email their MP via the website www.handsoffourholiday.com and to tweet their support for the hikes to be abandoned using the hashtag #handsoffourhols.
The poll, carried out by Opinium Research for the Hands off our Holiday campaign also shows that nearly 4 out of 5 people were unaware of the plans to further increase the tax by double inflation. Commenting on the campaign, Darren Caplan, Chief Executive of the AOA, said:"Our message to the Chancellor is that enough is enough. Air Passenger Duty has already gone up by 325% on long haul flights and 140% on short haul flights in the last five years. Family finances are under great pressure at the moment and most people save hard all year for their holiday. Working families deserve a break."
Mike Carrivick, Chief Executive of BAR-UK, added:"The UK already has the highest rate of flight tax in the world. Why should families be discriminated against for wanting to fly off on a hard-earned break once a year?"
Simon Buck, Chief Executive of BATA said:"The government already takes nearly £3bn in tax from passengers. This is more than the tax on the banking industry. Most people simply aren't aware how much flight tax they pay. The government should come clean about this stealth tax and drop the hikes planned for next year."
The Hands Off Our Holiday team launched their campaign today at Belfast International Airport with Airport PR Manager Deborah Harris.

Serum Protectif
Serum Protectif contains a lot of state-of-the-art ingredients in small quantities.
Les Yeux Presse
For an obscene price, you're getting mostly fragrant plant water, silicone, water-binding agent, and a film-forming agent.
Add to Faves?
Revive At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good cleansers; and, well, that's about it.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; potential unknowns and concerns about how epidermal growth factor (EGF) functions when applied topically on intact skin; not all of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection (how did Dr. Brown miss that one?); no products to address the needs of adults with acne.
Without a doubt, the founder of ReVive, Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, has some impressive credentials. He is a board-certified general and plastic surgeon who trained at Vanderbilt, Harvard, and Emory Universities, and received his medical degree from the University of Louisville. Realizing there was considerable money to be made in the realm of doctor-designed skin care, he launched the ReVive brand in the late 1990s, and it is now known as "A Plastic Surgeon's Non-Surgical Approach to Beauty."
It is nothing less than perplexing that there are so many doctors, from Fredric Brandt to N.V. Perricone, Drs. Murad and Sobel, and Patricia Wexler, to name a few, all claiming that their skin-care products are the answers for aging consumers who are concerned about "going under the knife" or about making an appointment that involves use of a needle. Can every doctor cure your wrinkles? And which one is telling the truth? Simply put: None of them. What they are doing, to one degree or another, is misleading the consumer as to what their products can really do, and every physician on the planet knows this to be a fact.
Brown does have one point of difference from his competition because he is the only one who uses growth factors (GF) in all his products. He was originally all about Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), explained below, but now also offers products with Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF) and Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), each explained in their respective product reviews. With all the company's talk about speeding up cellular renewal via growth factors and promises of luscious, dewy, youthful-looking skin, you may be wondering if this is a group of ingredients worth paying (a lot of money) for.
Growth factors are produced by the body to regulate various types of cell division. EGF stimulates cell division, primarily cell division of skin cells. There is quite a bit of research showing EGF to be helpful for wound and burn healing (Sources: Journal of Burn Care and Rehabilitation, March-April 2002, pages 116–125; Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology, July 1992, pages 604–606; Journal of Anatomy, July 2005, pages 67–78; International Wound Journal, June 2006, pages 123–130;and Tissue Engineering, January 2007, pages 21–28).
However, there is also research showing the effect EGF has is no different from that of a placebo, that it may not be effective at all, and that too much of it can actually prolong healing (Sources: Wounds, 2001, volume 13, number 2, pages 53–58; and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, August 1995, pages 251–254, and September 1997, pages 657–664).
One study showed that EGF had anti-inflammatory properties when applied to skin (Source: Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, January-April 1999, pages 79–84), though it has also been noted that it may promote tumor growth (Source: Journal of Surgical Research, April 2002, pages 175–182).
In general, the potentially frightening consequences of growth factors can come into play when they are taken internally, as in certain cancer treatments (Interleukin and Interferon are GFs), because they can be highly mitogenic (causing cell division), and at certain concentrations and lengths of application can cause cells to overproliferate. This overabundance of cells causes problems, one result of which is cancer. No one is exactly certain what happens when EGFs are applied to healthy, intact skin, but there is concern that with repeated use EGFs can cause skin cells to overproduce, and that's not good (psoriasis is an example of what happens when skin cells overproduce).
All of the research that does exist on EGFs has primarily studied their short-term use for wound healing. ReVive's products aren't about wound healing or short-term use, but rather about ongoing application for wrinkles, and working against the reduced cell-turnover rate that occurs as we age. Moreover, what established research has shown (including most of the sources mentioned above) is that growth factors, including EGF, do not work alone. Rather, their function is part of an intricate symphony that requires the playing of several "notes" for the "concert" to be a success. Adding a tiny amount of EGF to skin-care products in the hopes that it will work like it does when applied to a wound is sort of like thinking you can frame a house with wood and use nothing to hold the beams together except wishful thinking. We suspect the EGFs that Brown uses are most likely not the active form of the "drug," because if they were the risk to skin would be scary (and the company admits the ingredient is engineered in a lab, which means it's not identical to the naturally occurring EGF).

Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China's ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island.
Meanwhile, Chinese cyber-warfare experts have launched a devastating attack on American infrastructure. It's a new combat arena, but it's every bit as deadly as any that has gone before. Jack Ryan, Jr., and his colleagues at the Campus may be just the wild card that his father needs to stack the deck. There's just one problem: someone knows about the off-the-books intelligence agency and threatens to blow their cover sky high.
©2012 Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Spies and a counter espionage"
This book is packed with suspense and action including sea, land and air battles. The major part of the book is based on cyber warfare. Even though this is fiction it should act as a warning of what could happen. Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job narrating this story. Jack Ryan Sr is back as President and Jack Jr is off chasing the cyber spy "center". His girlfriend is spying on him for the FBI. War heats up in the South China Sea as China tries to increase it's territory. Great air battles--felt like I was in the plane with the pilot. Clancy sure can write a good suspense military story. Looking forward to his next one.
How can the characters in this year's True Detective be worse? Ferrill is asexual, drunk, corrupt, a child abuser and worse!
"The Clancy that gave us Clear & Present..."
This was the most intriguing Clancy novel in a long time. The very real threat of the Chinese, (see yesterday's headlines of Japan and China) and cyber warfare is as fascinating as it is threatening. No one researches better than Clancy and few know military operations and capabilities more than him.
Better still, the suspense in this novel is top rate, on the same level as his earlier novels. Lou Diamond Phillips is the perfect choice for this work. His characterizations are spot on.
In his recent works, Clancy has been criticized for his politics. This is not the case with this book at all.
"If you like action, you can do no better!"
Absolutely, Lou Diamond Philips is a masterful narrator, his performances never disappoint. The material within these pages is so action packed and the stakes are so high that listening to the story from someone with directed intention elevates the material to an amazing height.
This is a silly question, Jack Jr. Is the perfect American hero. He is a perfect melding of Jack Ryan, Mitch Rap, and the Gray Man (Mark Greaney's breakout action character). He is a selfless hero that is willing to risk everything in order to protect his country and he doesn't leave men behind.
Everything, LDP is an amazing actor (See Southland for a recent role) and he is able to turn his skill into amazing narration.
This book is adrenaline pumping, I felt excited! I finished this book 12/5/12, 24hrs after it was released. I couldn't put it down!
If you are on the fence about this book, let me explain my tastes so that you can gauge if we share common literary tastes for this genre.
I love:
Mitch Rap (Vince Flynn)
Dewey Andreas (Ben Coes)
Court Gentry (Mark Greaney)
Jack Reacher (Lee Child)
Tommy Carmellini (Stephen Coonts)
Carlos Guillermo Castillo (W. E. B. Griffin)
Ok, so those are some of my favorite action series that are in this similar espionage action genre. I found this book in particular to really mirror some of W. E. B. Griffin's early work melded with Flynn. That said, there is the signature Clancy storytelling in this book that jumps between several stories. I do not particularly enjoy the earlier Clancy novels that pertain to the elder Ryan, I found them amazingly slow and complicated with relatively low reward. This book mimics the same storytelling style but doesn't pull any punches when it comes to action.
I found myself wanting to spend more time with particular portions of the story and characters but the pacing was well thought out and I was never disappointed when prospective shifted. I have detected some of the Stephen Coont's syndrome, the seeming inability to set aside older characters and allow new ones to flourish but I think that Greaney's influence on this new series is helping breathe valuable life into the Clancy novels.
Jack Jr. is an amazing character, more lovable that Mitch Rapp and far more whole than Greaney's earlier two dimensional characters. This new younger Ryan is deposited brilliantly in a deep and rich fiction that creates a vivid backdrop.
I would strongly recommend that you start this cycle of the Jack Ryan Junior novels at their beginning, this story moves at a swift pace and you will love all of the returning characters so much more for your previous experiences with them!
On a side note, I want to tell you that I try to consume media that is character driven, not story driven! This particular genre has a tenancy to be heavily story driven but I think that this novel and series does a wonderful job of focusing on the characters! If you are looking for a quick action read this can satisfy you but it it is heavily enriched by knowledge of the characters. For example, if you aren't familiar with Tom Clancy's earlier "The Teeth of the Tiger" you might not have the richest or fullest appreciation for Haney and Associates and its remaining founders. Not a major issue but one that clearly supports a rich character development that honors faithful readers.
This is one of the good ones, they are few and far between and you should not hesitate to read this book immediately, or place it in your wishlist for your next credit!
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
"Needs an Editor"
Went on vacation with my wife. We both like to listen to books, but have different tastes. She is a huge Clancy fan and I am ok with him. She has read all the Clancy books written, I have just read "Hunt For Red October". She said this was not Clancy's best, but she would give it four stars. I found it a little too long, sometimes boring, but very informative. we both agreed that an editor was needed.
Once a writer gets as famous as Clancy if he writes about pigs farting then an editor is scared to say anything and pigs farting gets published and probably becomes a best seller. In this book are some scenes that just go on and on and on. For instance there is a scene that involves a gun fight in a strip bar. It takes up about 2 hours of listening and four or five chapters. Some Clancy fans may love this, but I thought it went on too long.
As someone who easily gets confused by different characters, who they are and what they are doing in the story, I found I had none of that as a problem. Clancy builds his characters well enough that you know who they are even if you don't hear from them for hours or chapters. I enjoyed the China politics where my wife thought that was boring. I am more of a political junkie then she is. Some may think this story of computer hacking by different countries may not be realistic, while I believe it is happening as we speak. I seem to remember stories about it during the Clinton Presidency.
While I had no problem knowing who the different characters were, I did get a little confused on the whole story and all the in's and out's of all the back stabbing, spying, twist and turns, while my wife had no problem keeping up, even though she fell asleep during some of it. She was tired, and does not travel well.
I don't believe you must read any of the other books to follow this story, but my wife enjoyed knowing what certain characters did in previous books. Unless this is on sale, I would suggest you read them in order for a slightly more pleasurable experience.
LDP is a good narrator, I was surprised.
"An easy to read book for Clancy"
Lou Diamond Phillips is getting better with each book he nararates. He does an excellent job with this one. It must have been quite difficult, especially with all the Chinese names and voices. He did it very well. The story was very believable and scary, because I think what Clancy portrays, is Very close to how this scenario would actually play out. It is not as complicated with multiple stories as most Clancy novels. If you like espionage and clancy novels, you will love this one.
I am a registered nurse and a father of four great kids. I live in a rural part of Oregon and love it. I enjoy books, but Sci-Fi Fantasy has allows been the ones I reach for more than others.
"Clancy does it again...."
Yes, this book is easily recommended for any of Clancy's fans. I have enjoyed the next chapter in the Jack Ryan and Jack Ryan Jr. books. I wouldn't recommend this book for anyone who doesn't know any of Clancy's previous book, but instead would recommend they start with either the book just before this or at least with "No Remorse" or "Rainbow Six" in order to know some of the back story.
I like the way Clancy has taken some of the recent history of our nation and still been able to create a other universe in which his characters can blossom without running into issue of political or historical events. By creating a slightly altered universe allows Clancy to bring important events into the story without the story following along with history, ie readers already knowing the outcome of what has or will happen in the story because they know what has happened alreay in real life.
I love Lou Diamond Phillips narratoring books. I have listened to several and I think he rocks as a narrator. I will pick up and listen to any book in a normally read genre of mine that he narrators because he brings so much to the story beyond the words being spoken.
Too many areas to remember - Clancy does a great job of putting in laughter in the middle of his suspense related story.
"Cyber war with China!"
There is a new war taking place China has decided to declare a cyber war on the USA. They are doing it by proxy using an unofficial off the books agency that officially does not exist. This agency uses computer exploits to infiltrate corporate and governmental agencies in combination with human assets that they have compromised and are black mailing into rendering aid.
Jack Ryan is once again in the oval office and is doing everything in his power to stop a full-fledged shooting war. But he has to deal with President Wei Zhen Lin who has lost control of his country to General Su Ke Quiang.
We also see Jack Ryan Jr. storyline progress and he is quickly gaining valuable in field abilities.
This book reminded me of Tom Clancy's earlier work Net Force but I found the book enjoyable and Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job narrating.
"Great book - but Lou Diamond Phillips was bad"
Great story - Lousy Narration as he kept doing rapid LOUD breaths during his reading that were very annoying. It was like he was playing a musical instrument. Back away from the mic or take normal breaths or do editing after the fact or hit a cough button to remove it.
Typical Clancy Action
He needs to learn how to breath and talk correctly. He has a really annoying way of taking fast quick LOUD breaths during the reading. This is the first Audible reader I have heard this from and it was so bad this is my first ever Audible Review.
"Good reading"
A good cliché listen/read. Perfect for my everyday commute. Quite suspenseful and good depiction of action.
"What a Team"
These are some pretty heavy hitting authors, along with an excellent reader. Chinese cyber warfare is the backdrop for this cyber terror novel…though the US doesn't mind some good old fashioned bombs in the end, either.
Lots of action. I'd definitely put this into the category of a good read for a long car trip as the action won't have you daydreaming or dozing off.
"Locked on part 2"
Yes! Tom Clancy has done it again! Narrator pulls of an excellent Chinese speaking accent which makes the story even more immersive. It's quite interesting that I had just finished Mark Russinovich's Trojan Horse which also points a finger to China and their cyber-tech. I guess it's no secret though.
A very exciting yarn with just the right balance of action to tech. I really want to see this and Locked on at the movies. It would be awesome.
"Great book"
I really enjoyed this book. It's fast paced contains a few twists
Well worth listening too.
"one of the better narrations for a while..."
Brilliant narration and a half believable story/plot which makes a huge difference... one of the better Clancy novels....
"A great Tom Clancy!"
This book is very easy to listen to - so perfect for doing two things at once, in my case listening and crafting. If you have seen any of the Tom Clancy films with different actors playing Jack Ryan it is simply a case of picking your favourite 'Jack' and then imagining his son in action.
There is an action scene where a key character realises that there are more than two parties involved in an event and he is the only person who has oversight of the actions of the different groups and what is about to take place.
Good, clear narration - not too slow but well enunciated.
Jack's Back!
Have purchased several of the Tom Clancy books, all ready by Lou Diamond Phillips as preferred his narration from the samples, and was not disappointed.
Not read the printed version, but then again why would I, when the audio is so good. Lou Diamond Philips does an excellent job.
This is classic Tom Clancey, even if it was probably written by Mark Greaney. All the usual characters appear , Ryan, Clarke, Ding etc. along with some new additions. The storyline is fast paced and exciting. As you would expect from a Tom Clancey novel the technical data is spot on.
The scene when the American pilots go up against the Chinese is fantastic real edge of the seat stuff.
Overall I would recommend Vector Threat to any Tom Clancey fan.
"Typically pacey,exciting and promising"
The story touches on all the elements of a good tail. Politics, cyber warfare, espionage, kinetic action and romance all get the Clancy touch that carry you through, " can't put the book down novel". Tom you are missed
"Great read"
Complex, intriguing and above all a very well researched book.
The complexity
A great voice actor, capable of many diffrent voices and you know right away who he's acting.
Made me excited, very excited.
"A Typical Tom Clancy Story"
I sometimes get irritated by Tom Clancy's stories; the good guys are always good-looking, virtous and of impeccable caracter, the villains just the opposite. The Western World is normally saved at the last minute by the couragous heros and all is well.
But it sells and I have to admit that I normally turn the pages (or keep listening) as fast as anyone.
But it still leaves me unsatisfied at the end.
"Brilliant story and left me feeling unnerved."
Brilliant book read with real clarity but it left me feeling weird as in oh my god that could actually happen. It wasn't a book I could listen to while doing other things as I had to concentrate on the plot. Well worth listening to.
"Another fantastic book"
All the characters from previous books coming together again
Domingez is good but my favourite has got to be Jr
Yeap like all Tom Clancy books
Fantastic listen and would highly recommend the rest of tom Clancys books :)

6.3 Megapixel CMOS Sensor - Digital Imaging with the Quality of Film
A large-format, high-resolution CMOS sensor captures a staggering 6.3 million pixels to deliver images that will astonish you with their depth and detail. As it captures images, the sensor amplifies each pixel's electric charge, for ultra-fast image scanning that's simply unmatched. A superior sensor design raises the maximum ISO speed while lowering image degradation during long exposures. The large sensor also has a 3:2 aspect ratio, traditional to 35mm film, for a familiar compositional feel. In short, the CMOS sensor allows the EOS Digital Rebel to achieve film-like quality while offering all the advantages of digital technology.
Canon's Exclusive DIGIC Chip: The Industry's Gold StandardBecause the DIGIC Image Processor was developed by Canon exclusively for its own products, Canon digital cameras have a major advantage over other brands which continue to use general-purpose processors. The EOS Digital Rebel uses a DIGIC ImageProcessor specifically tuned for digital EOS cameras. Advanced signal processing algorithms heighten precision and detail, smooth gradation in highlight areas, and create color reproduction that is as vivid as it is utterly natural. As an added benefit, the DIGIC's speedier processing improves the camera's battery performance, and adds to the camera's overall responsiveness and agility.
White Balance and WB BracketingNumerous White Balance options (Auto, Daylight, Shade, Overcast, Tungsten Bulb, Fluorescent Light, Flash and Custom) are available to handle a wide range of color temperatures so any shot can look as if it were lit with pure white light. A conventional camera could not do this without holding several different types of film at once. Another advanced option is White Balance Bracketing, which lets you capture three JPEG images (normal, reddish, bluish) at the same exposure level with one shot, with the white balance shifted up to +/- 3 steps in whole-stop increments.
WB Bracketing
Auto and Manual ISO Speeds SettingsThe camera offers an extensive range of ISO speeds, allowing you to quickly compensate for shifting light conditions. A conventional camera would have to hold several types of film at various speeds to accomplish this. When shooting in Full Auto, Landscape, Close-up, Night Portrait or Flash Off modes, ISO speed is automatically set between 100 and 400 in 1/3-stop increments to suit the shooting conditions. In Portrait, ISO speed is set to 100, in Sports, 400, and in Creative Zone modes, ISO speed may be set manually through the LCD screen menu to 100, 200, 400, 800 or 1600. When utilizing the built-in flash, ISO speed is automatically set to 400 in Full Auto, Close-up and Night Portrait modes, and 100 in Portrait mode.
Perfect Panoramas Made EasyThe EOS Digital Rebel makes it easy to compose breathtaking panoramas. Easy PhotoStitch software included with the camera lets you combine sequential images digitally on your computer (lengthwise or even 2 over 2), with no lines and no distortion.
Range of Settings for Ideal ProcessingProcessing parameters are built into each shot to prepare it for printing. One setting automatically produces crisp, vivid images for direct printing without editing. A second setting gives you more creative latitude in image editing. You can also create and store up to 3 sets of custom parameters, adjusting contrast, sharpness, color saturation and color tone to your liking.
Processing Parameter Settings
RAW and JPEGIn RAW mode, every shot is captured as both a RAW and Middle/Fine JPEG file. RAW files render the most detailed printed images, while less-detailed JPEGs are smaller, making them perfect for sending and viewing on computer screens. Having both kinds of files recorded automatically means that whatever you decide to do with your final images, you're covered.

POTSDAM Members of the mayors association and supervisors association of St. Lawrence County agreed Thursday to support the countys push to raise its sales tax and accept the 1 percent distribution on the additional revenue they were offered, providing the consensus urged by state lawmakers.
The resolution, which passed 17-2 in a joint meeting at the Potsdam Civic Center, also strongly encourages the county to renegotiate at a later unspecified date the percentage allotted to towns and villages.
This does give us a statement that articulates our position, Potsdam Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan said.
Madrid and Hopkinton gave the nay votes on the instruction of their respective boards.
Theres no faith in the five-year plan, Madrid Town Supervisor Joseph A. Finnegan said. Its obviously a political ploy.
St. Lawrence County wants to increase its local sales tax from 3 to 4 percent, bringing the total with the states 4 percent to 8 percent.
The five-year plan the county developed demonstrates how it would lower property taxes by 14.3 percent in the first year and hold the annual tax levy increase in the other years to the states 2 percent cap.
Included in the plan was a 10 percent distribution of the additional sales tax to towns and villages, some of which were unhappy because their current allotment is greater.
Under the current distribution, the county keeps half of what it collects and gives the rest to towns and villages after the city of Ogdensburg takes a 6.4 percent cut.
If the state Legislature agrees to the sales tax increase possibly through passage of the state budget but more likely through stand-alone legislation the drop in property taxes could benefit county legislatorss re-election campaigns in 2014.
That timing could also help towns and villages in their quest for a greater percentage of the additional sales tax revenue.
The only hammer I believe we have is their re-election, said town of Massena Supervisor Joseph D. Gray. I think we should force the revisiting of that.
Village and town leaders prefer that the sales tax increase have to face renewal every two years by the state Legislature as another way they might renegotiate sales tax distribution.
If the sales tax increase comes through budget passage and does not require periodic renewal, the county will have no incentive in the future to seek its municipalities support, they said.
Their time may also come when the agreement between the city of Ogdensburg and the county which includes the distribution formula for towns and villages expires.
This really isnt forever because in six years, they have to renegotiate with the city, Ogdensburg Mayor William D. Nelson said.

(1) A court-martial sentence described in paragraph (2) shall result in the forfeiture of pay, or of pay and allowances, due that member during any period of confinement or parole.
