Testimony of Condoleezza Rice Before 9/11 Commission
Published: April 8, 2004
(Page 15 of 29)
JAMIE S. GORELICK. Dr. Rice, thank you for being here today. I'd like to pick up where Fred Fielding and you left off, which is this issue of the extent to which raising the level to the Cabinet level and bringing people together makes a difference.
And let me just give you some facts as I see them and let you comment on them. First of all while it may be that Dick Clarke was informing you, many of the other people at the C.S.G. level and the people who were brought to the table from the domestic agencies were not telling their principals. Secretary Mineta, the secretary of transportation, had no idea of the threat. The administrator of the F.A.A. responsible for security on our airlines had no idea. Yes, the attorney general was briefed, but there is no evidence of any activity by him about this.
You indicate in your statement that the F.B.I. tasked its field offices to find out what was going on out there. We have no record of that. The Washington field office international terrorism people say they never heard about the threat, they never heard about the warnings, they were not asked to come to the table and shake those trees. S.A.C.'s, special agents in charge around the country, Miami in particular, no knowledge of this.
And so I really come back to you - And let me ask, add one other thing, have you actually looked at the, analyzed the messages that the F.B.I. put out?
RICE. Yes.
GORELICK. To me, and you're free to comment on them, they are feckless. They don't tell anybody anything. They don't bring anyone to battle stations. And I personally believe, having heard Coleen Rowley's testimony about her frustrations in the Moussaoui incident, that if someone had really gone out to the agents who were working these issues on the ground and said, We are at battle stations, we need to know what's happening out there, come to us - she would have broken through barriers to have that happen. Because she was knocking on doors and they weren't opening.
So I just, I ask you this question as a student of government myself, because I don't believe it's functionally equivalent to have people three, four, five levels down at an agency working an issue, even if they're the specialists, and you get a greater degree of intensity when it comes from the top. And I just, I would like to give you the opportunity to comment on this because it bothers me.
RICE. Of course. Of course. First of all it was coming from the top because the president was meeting with his director of central intelligence. And one of the changes that this president made was to meet face to face with his director of central intelligence almost every day. I can assure you, knowing government, that that was well understood at the Central Intelligence Agency, that now their director and the D.C.I. had direct access to the president.
Yes, the president met with the director of the F.B.I. I'll have to see when and how many times, but of course he did. And with the attorney general and with others.
But in a threat period, and I don't think it's a proper characterization of the C.S.G. to say that it was four or five levels down -
GORELICK. Many of them were.
RICE. These were people who had been together in numerous crises before, and it was their responsibility to develop plans for how to respond to a threat.
Now I would be speculating, but if you would like I will go ahead and speculate, to say that one of the problems here was there really was nothing that looked like it was going to happen inside the United States. The threat reporting was, the specific threat reporting was about external threats, about the Persian Gulf, about Israel, about perhaps the Genoa events. It is just not the case that the Aug. 6 memorandum did anything but put together what the C.I.A. decided that they wanted to put together about historical knowledge about what was going on and a few things about what the F.B.I. might be doing.
And so the light was shining abroad. And if you look at what was doing, we were, I was in constant contact to make sure that those things were getting done with the relevant agencies - with State, with Defense and so forth.
Now I just, we just have a different view of this.
GORELICK. Yes, I understand that. But - I think it's one thing to talk to George Tenet, but he can't tell domestic agencies what to do. Let me finish.
RICE. Yes, no please.
GORELICK. And it is clear that you were worried about the domestic problem because after all your testimony is you asked Dick Clarke to summon the domestic agencies.
Now you say that, and I think quite rightly, that the big problem was systemic. That the F.B.I. could not function as it should and it didn't have the right methods of communicating with the C.I.A. and vice versa.
At the outset of the administration a commission that was chartered by Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, two very different people covering pretty much the political spectrum, put together a terrific panel to study the issue of terrorism and report to the new administration as it began. And you took that briefing I know.

Insurance for snow plow businesses is very important. If you own and operate a snow plow, you want to make sure you have the correct insurance. I am going to go over a couple basic ideas for snow plow businesses.
If you have a snow plow business, there are basically two ways we can operate. One of them is, I have a snow plow on my vehicle, I only plow for myself and my own properties and I'm not plowing for anybody else for money.
Under your typical commercial auto policy and a lot of times under a personal auto policy you do not need to do anything or add any coverage. Your liability is going to extend to your vehicle as long as you're not plowing for money.
Let's talk about the snow plow business that is plowing for money and going out and doing jobs for hire and for other people.
Very important, your personal auto policy most likely is going to exclude those types of activities. You are going to want to have a commercial policy that covers you for snow plowing operations.
There are a couple ends to it. We want to cover the truck for liability in case you injure somebody or damage someone's property. This is the most important part of the policy for a snow plow company.
If you damage other property or injure somebody your liability is going to pick that up. Make sure you care carrying enough liability coverage. A good independent agent can help you figure out how much coverage you need.
The next thing is, do you need coverage for the truck and the plow itself? If it's a newer vehicle and a newer plow setup those can get very expensive to replace. So if they are damaged or stolen you want to make sure that the insurance company would reimburse you for that.
That coverage would come under physical damage coverage. It is also sometimes separated out as collision and comprehensive coverage under the auto policy.
Talk with your agent about that. It's usually based on the value of the equipment and the truck. But very important, if you want coverage for that you have to request that.
The other thing with this is hired and non-owned auto coverage. If you have a snow plow business and there are other people out plowing for you on your behalf using their own trucks, make sure you add a coverage called Hired. That is for vehicles that you hire and non-owned vehicles. That is for vehicles that you do not own that the liability from your policy extends to the operations for people that you hire.
Being from Wisconsin, we are very familiar with snow plow insurance. If you need help in covering your plow operations many times it is a landscape operation and then in winter they plow. We are very familiar with these types of operations, and we can help you with your coverage. Talk to a good independent agent. They can also help you as well.Tags: illinois, plow insurance, snow plow insurance, snow plow liability insurance, snow plowing insurance, snow plowing liability insurance, snowplow insurance, wisconsin
What about General Liability coverage for Slip and Fall coverage after you have finished plowing?
hi i wanted to know if you can give me a quote i live in chicago heights il and i want to start a snow plow company. I have a CDL and I work for IDOT

Salvaging Abbas
This article was originally published here on TimesOfIsrael.com on Tuesday, July 29, 2014.
Almost from the start of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, the commentariat has been seized with the idea of "empowering [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud] Abbas" as the only way out of the recurrent violence between Israel and Hamas. The discovery of this idea in Washington (and Jerusalem for that matter) is rather odd, not because it does not make sense, but rather because the idea is so reasonable and obvious that one wonders why — ten years after he became the Palestinian leader — it took so long to recognize it. Almost from the moment of Yasser Arafat's death, Egypt sent high-level emissaries to the United States, warning that the new Palestinian president needed help lest he gradually cede the political arena to Hamas. He did not get it then and now it is likely too late to salvage Abbas. Read more »

We chose Dulux Timeless Grey for the walls and my plan was to have orange accessories. The first thing I worked on was this Fox softie. I wasn't able to find an orange in the colour I wanted so I ended up using red. << Continue Reading >>
A Work in Progress
We are all moved and pretty much unpacked, but things are still a work in progress here. The biggest thing at the moment is that we are still without internet! Does anyone remember life about 15 years ago when that wouldn't have mattered?! Now, I'm just going mad! I feel so out of touch with the world.

A House Diverted
Photograph shows representatives playing solitaire on their laptop computers during a legislative session.
[Collected via e-mail, October 2009]
This picture is worth a trillion $$
This was sent to me showing our Congress at "work". It was said that this was while Congress was in session, appears to be true, and that it was during the health care debate. Even if it wasn't during the health care debate, if this is how they spend their time while they are supposed to be deciding on important issues, then I not only want a rebate on my tax dollars, I want to see some new people who actually care about what is happening and are paying close attention to the matter at hand sitting in those seats. Seems like we don't need to be sending them on any more expen$ive vacations, they're already on one.
It seems to me that if all we are doing is paying these congressmen and women a gigantic salary to sit in congressional session and play solitaire or whatever, it's time to bring most of them back home by replacement. Democrats, republicans, independents — it makes no difference. The bills they're passing by playing solitaire instead of voting for us are taking away our freedoms with every key stroke.
Fire 'em all!
Folks we need to forward this to everyone we know to get the word out about these people that are being paid by our tax dollars.
Nothing else needs to be said. This is one of their THREE DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for. I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on our taxes, etc.
These are the folks that can't get the budget out by Oct. 1, Seriously!!!
So, we've got a 30 day budget extension. Well, guess what,
30 days
from now we will be in the same boat. I guess this makes it easy for the news 'reporters' as all they have to do is recycle the same headlines from this week and from
2 years
ago. And these
will still be playing SOLITAIRE!!!

The above-displayed photograph which appears to show representatives playing solitaire on their laptops during a legislative session has certainly struck a chord among many viewers, undoubtedly because it seemingly confirms a widely held
view of elected representatives as paid fat cats frittering away their time at frivolous pursuits rather than engaging in serious governmental problem solving efforts.
The photograph is real, although it has erroneously been attributed to a number of different legislative bodies, from the
U.S. Congress
to a variety of state legislatures. The picture was actually snapped in the Connecticut House of Representatives on
31 August
2009 by photographer
Jessica Hill
Rep. Larry
Cafero was delivering a lengthy speech on the state budget. The photo was captioned by the Associated Press as follows:
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr.,
, far right, speaks while colleagues play solitaire on their computers as the House convenes to vote on a new budget for the fiscal year in the Capitol, in Hartford, Conn.
Ms. Hill described the reaction to her photograph as follows:
I have received a great deal of mail and even a few calls from people all over the country over the last couple of months about the photograph I have as a lead off image on my member page. Some viewers have even gone so far to say they believe the photograph is not authentic. I take my profession very serious. There is nothing staged or altered in the photograph and it is insulting to me to have been accused of otherwise from people who do not even know me.
Rep. Jack Hennessy
one of two Connecticut legislators shown in the photo playing solitaire on a laptop computer (the other was
Rep. Barbara
issued a letter of
to his constituents:
It was certainly bad judgment for me to play a computer game even for just a few minutes during the final House session on the budget. I am embarrassed, and I apologize to each and every person in the North End and to people across the state.
My actions were inexcusable. I do want my constituents to know that my poor judgment for a few moments in no way means I ignored your interests in representing you on this very serious matter. Over the past seven months, as a member of the General Assembly's Finance Committee, I have participated fully in the budget process and have played an active role in crafting a budget that provides the necessary services that our communities so desperately need while at the same time minimizing any negative impact on the city of Bridgeport and its people.
I sincerely apologize to each of you. I look forward to having the continued privilege of representing you and your interests in Hartford. I thank you in advance for your understanding and have been humbled by those of you who have already expressed your understanding and forgiveness.

The Modenese firebrand, lute virtuoso, composer, poet and artist Bellerofonte Castaldi (1580–1649) – the Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen of his day – set his own poems to his own music in a lyrical style that captured the dynamism of the emerging Baroque. Castaldi's dance-songs and madrigals for one, two or more voices – drawn from his monody collection Primo mazzetto (Venice, 1623) and the manuscript Modena 239 (c. 1670) – framed his hopes, dreams and disappointments with fresh and unforgettable melodies. The duos for theorbo and tiorbino, a tiny theorbo that Castaldi himself invented, are contrapuntal showpieces from his Capricci a due stromenti (Modena, 1622), a highly unusual collection of theorbo solos and duos, songs and poetry that he himself engraved and decorated with his own freehand artwork.
"... Dolata's group, Il Furioso, performs this disc with skill and sensitivity. Sopranos Laura Fabris, Janet Youngdahl and Eugenia Corrieri are all spot on in terms of pitch and blend well, while Gian Paolo Fagotto provides a poerful and secure foil in his pieces. The accompaniment of Victor Coelho and Dolata can be nicely subdued, giving the vocal numbers a troubadour quality, but in their solos they truely shine. For those inerested in an alternative world to Monteverdi or the beginnings of the Venetian style, this is an indespensible disc."
Bertil van Boer - Fanfare - July/August 2013
'...finely crafted and occasionally virtuosic duets... […] Dolata and Coelho are sure-fingered and refined lutenists… pure, flexible voices'
'Il nuovo cd della piccola etichetta inglese Toccata Classics è una piacevolissima scoperta. Non tanto per l'autore… quanto per la bellezza della musica, che sorprende per la sua modernità e dunque per l'immediatezza. […] Queste erano le vere "Hits" del secolo e riascoltando questo disco, capiamo bene il perchè.'
'… a delightful discovery. Not only for the composer... but also for the beauty of the music, which is surprising in its modernity and immediacy. […] These were the 'Hits' of the century and listening to this disc, you can well understand why' *****
Gabriele Formenti
'This disc offers a most interesting and musically captivating portrait of an intriguing early 17th century Italian figure.'
Johan van Veen
'...quite stunning… The virtuosity of the Italians is equally matched by the soprano Janet Youngdahl who negotiates the stratosphere with ease… […] beautifully performed by Dolata and Coelho with crisp sense of rhythm, neat passage work, beautifully clear contrapuntal lines and nicely judged contrasts in dynamics. […] a vivid portrait of one of the most talented composers of the early 17th century.'
Monica Hall
Download Round-up March 2010
'I agree with Johann van Veen in welcoming this enterprising recording'
Brian Wilson
'The performers on this disc are internationally known masters... From the outset we are treated to a concert from this "free-spirit" composer as he might have presented it. [...] This disc is an excellent introduction to a long-lost Italian artistic genius and a highly polished project worthy of your attention.'

'Survivor' Exit Interview: Big Girls Do Cry
by Audrey Fine, posted Apr 30th 2010 4:02PM
You can't teach an old dog new tricks -- especially when they're playing 'Survivor.' Last night's episode of 'Heroes vs. Villains' proved that old axiom beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Candice Woodcock, taking a page from her 'Cook Islands' playbook, flipped on her Heroes tribe. Meanwhile, Russell Hantz, spurred on by Parvati Shallow's secretiveness, summoned another immunity idol into his meaty little paws and Amanda Kimmel did what Amanda Kimmel always does -- played nice.
Guess what doesn't get you a million bucks? Playing nice.

'Survivor' Exit Interview: Risky Business Doesn't Pay

Bold moves. This 20th all-star season of 'Survivor' has been chock full of them and last night's episode of 'Heroes vs. Villains' was no exception. Fans witnessed one of the gutsiest plays of all time.
Last week, humble Hero John "J.T." Thomas handed off of his immunity idol to consummate Villain Russell Hantz, and the move backfired. Big time. And it led to the 'Survivor: Tocantins' winner being sent to join Courtney Yates and Benjamin "Coach" Wade on the jury.

(S20E10) This season of 'Survivor' isn't going quite how I expected. Of course, that could be a good thing. Although I'm basically a force for good (yes, really), on my reality shows I have to admire evil strategies and schemes when they're executed well. In my own reality, I don't care for mean people. But when you consider the types of folks going on competition reality shows, the nice people can get downright boring to watch. The schemers other than Evil Russell are just getting started. Hang on, folks. We may be in for a wild ride!

(S20E09) Oh my. JT looks a bit disturbed in this image from tonight's 'Survivor,' doesn't he? Did he crack another tooth? Not to be posting spoilers in the first paragraph, but I don't think we'll see JT cracking teeth and being a one-man war machine this season. We've seen his whacked-out game strategy for the season already. He went from the nice guy, loved and admired by all, and winner of his original season to ... I don't know.
His own tribe doesn't trust him to the point of Amanda declaring him the "slimiest" person on the tribe last week. He's flipped, he's flopped. But tonight he has an epiphany and a brilliant idea. We'll see just how brilliant it is soon enough.

'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'Expectations'
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Apr 8th 2010 11:32PM
(S20E08) This season should have been a slam-dunk for some of the more savvy castaways on 'Survivor.' Instead, we're seeing convoluted alliances and bad decisions. Some folks only thinking about their own end game without realizing they actually have to remain standing into the merge. First it was the heroes tribe in a losing streak, then a few challenges back, it all flipped and the villains did the very same thing, voting out Boston Rob and Tyson.
Why? Because they're getting rid of the strong players when they should be thinking about keeping their original tribes strong at this point. Will they continue the pattern until skeletal Courtney remains the sole 'Survivor'? Oh my. That would be such a waste of a season.
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'I'm Not a Good Villain'
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Apr 2nd 2010 12:23AM
(S20E07) Colby Donaldson survived last week's tribal council on 'Survivor' only because James hurt his knee beyond hope for healing within the game's timeframe. Surrounded by those who want him out due to his lackadaisical efforts in challenges this season and being on the minor alliance, it's time for Colby to get playing the game. Heck, it's time for the entire heroes tribe to start playing.
JT isn't Mr. "I Broke My Tooth, Yet Kept Fighting" this season. Rupert has some sort of enhanced caveman rush into things, but has a broken toe and isn't really athletic. No one seems to be good with puzzles. What is going on here? The villains have been trouncing them at every turn. It's not just Colby who needs to step his game up. But he's the one on the hot seat due to the alliances. Can he do it?
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'Banana Etiquette'
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Mar 25th 2010 12:42AM
(S20E06) I always hear the folks who don't watch 'Survivor' going on about how the castaways have it easy as far as real survival skills. Sure, being able to physically survive the elements and challenges is part of the show. But my own interest has always been more in the strategic angle. From the start with Richard Hatch, it's been shown time and time again that people manipulation skills can rule the game. Tonight was pure joy for me. It put me in my Happy Place. Why? Read on.
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'Knights of the Round Table' Recap
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Mar 12th 2010 2:28AM
(S20E05) In the image above, it looks like James is surrounded by a bunch of schoolyard bullies on 'Survivor.' Well, he is surrounded, but things aren't always as they appear to be. The same can be said for the strategies of some of these all-so-great returning players, too. While some strategies remain consistent (a snake oil salesman isn't going to turn into the Avon lady), others are baffling me this season.
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'Tonight, We Make Our Move' Recap
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Mar 5th 2010 1:02AM
(S20E04) No, no, no. Coach, you have it all wrong! It's not a conspiracy against you, trust me. It's you. I made a mistake last week when I commented how much less a wuss Coach was being this season on 'Survivor.' I spoke too soon. Tonight we (and Boston Rob and Tyson) had to witness his latest "I'm sensitive, the world is against me, woe is me" escapade. The man makes a mockery of himself, then goes all emotional when he gets mocked. He's a legend in his own mind, a special snowflake to the rest of us.
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'That Girl Is Like a Virus' Recap
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Feb 26th 2010 12:40AM
(S20E03) How's that for a look of determination on Colby? Last week we saw the 'Survivor' heroes down two challenges. We also have seen some non-heroic behavior in their camp while Boston Rob has been quite heroic in the villains' camp. This season, although it's definitely grabbing my attention, has gone beyond the realm of heroes and villains. It's more like a bunch of power-players, wheeler dealers, schemers, lunatics, and a few decent folks gone a tad off their rockers thrown into the mix. It's All-Stars on energy drinks. It's brutal. But it's entertaining. That's all I need.
'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'It's Getting the Best of Me' Recap
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Feb 19th 2010 12:02AM
(S20E02) Well, well, well. It seems that Black Widow Jerri Manthey actually does have a tender side on tonight's 'Survivor.' No, she isn't coming on to Boston Rob. Nor has she murdered him, if that might be your concern. As seen on the promos all week, Rob had a bit of a rough time, thus giving the episode its title for the week. And, might I add, so dramatically said that one might think he'll be up for an acting Emmy. Was it an act? Is he still there or gone? Read on.
Richard Hatch Still Ticked About Being Thrown Back in Jail
by Joel Keller, posted Feb 17th 2010 2:07PM
When CBS threw their tenth-anniversary party for 'Survivor' last month during the TCA press tour, there was only one person I wanted to talk to: Richard Hatch. And there was only one reason I wanted to talk to him: Someone claiming to be him sent us an e-mail comment in response to a post Allison did in October; Allison basically told him to stop airing public comments regarding the incident that sent him back to jail last summer.
If you recall, he gave an interview with 'Today' and two other NBC properties last August; he was sent back to jail because he was supposedly only given permission to talk to 'Today.'
In the note to us, the person -- who we're pretty sure was Hatch, based on some digging we did after the note came in -- claims that the system is "broken" and that he doesn't owe any back taxes, something Hatch has said in public a number of times.
So, I decided to ask him about whether he liked sending websites e-mails like that, then we talked a little about the case.

'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains' - 'Stay Everyone, Trust No One' Recap (Season Premiere)
by Jackie Schnoop, posted Feb 12th 2010 12:32AM
(S20E01) We've already had epic hype for an epic season of 'Survivor.' More intense than a typical 'All-Stars' version, this season pits the (supposedly) best of good and evil in a battle to be the sole survivor. It's kind of like the Stephen King novel, 'The Stand.' Forces for good and evil, perhaps with a few shades of gray in-between, ready to duke it out for the win. Well, I could see Evil Russell being Randall Flagg, can't you? The casting is right for both sides. I would have liked to see Richard Hatch and Yau-Man Chan in there, but it wasn't my decision to make. I'm just a witness to the chaos.
Jeff Probst Wants More 'Survivor' (But Not Too Much More)
by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 9th 2010 3:09PM
When 'Survivor' host Jeff Probst renews his contract, it's usually for two years (which comes out to be four seasons of the show). But when he renewed his contract with CBS and the show last week, he only renewed it for one year (two seasons). I'm not sure if this is because he doesn't want to commit to several seasons of the show or if it's a negotiating/contract thing. Could 'Survivor' continue without Probst as host? Or is he too big a part of the show?
'Survivor: Heroes & Villains' debuts on Thursday.
|No, he's a big part of the show.
|463 (58.8%)
|Sure, anyone can be replaced.
|190 (24.1%)
|I think Conan should host Survivor!
|135 (17.1%)

How to Eat at a Restaurant That Doesn't Take Reservations
How to Eat at a Trendy Restaurant
Like us on Facebook
- Research the eatery before you arrive. Some places don't take reservations, but they will let you call in advance and add your name to the list. If that's the case, call up to two hours before you want to eat and politely give the hostess your name.
- Go earlier or later. Show up at the restaurant about 15 minutes after it's opened; chances are they won't be full yet, and you'll be able to enjoy a meal without having to wait. The opposite option is to get there on the later side: after 9 p.m. You'll miss the dinner rush and hopefully be greeted with a shorter line.
- Be prepared to wait. Don't eat at a hot spot when you have a limited amount of time to dine. Got to be someplace after the meal (the theater, a party, a sporting event, etc.)? Then, select an eatery that can get you in and out quickly, not one that has a long wait.
To see the rest of my tips, keep reading.
- Put your name on the list, ask the hostess for the estimated wait time, and head to a nearby bar for a drink. Five minutes before the wait time is up, send someone from your party back to the restaurant for a status update.
- Become a regular. When you eat at the same place frequently, the staff will get to know you, and they'll be more inclined to help you get a table fast.
- Dine alone or in a pair. It's much easier for an establishment to seat one or two people. Two-tops have a higher turnover rate, and you'll get in quicker than a big party. At small, hip, and crowded eateries, avoid group dining altogether. If your party has more than four people, take it to a larger restaurant that can better accommodate your needs.
- If you live nearby, head over when it opens, speak to the hostess, and let her know what time you want to come in. They will most likely hold a spot for you.
- Don't get angry! Nobody likes to deal with self-entitled diners; they annoy both the staff and customers. The restaurant will seat you as soon as they can.
- Don't arrive starving. Have to wait 45 minutes? That means you won't be eating for another 60-75 minutes. When you're hungry, the wait will only seem twice as long.
Do you have a suggestion for a better dining out experience? Please share it below!

- Low energy electron point source (LEEPS) microscopy is the simplest embodiment of an electron microscope, consisting of only a source, a sample and a detector. In a specific regime, LEEPS may also be used to create in-line holograms; special interference patterns that contain the information about the entire electron wavefront, including the structure of the sample and electromagnetic field around it. This work describes the design, construction and characterization of a microscope designed to performs LEEPS microscopy and electron holography at the nanoscale. An overview of previous experimental apparatus are discussed. Also, the impact of spatial and energetic inhomogeneities of the electron source on the quality and resolution of the hologram, in terms of the numerical aperture of the microscope and the virtual source size of the electron emitter. The design of the microscope itself is presented including the system for isolating the microscope from contamination, mechanical vibration and electrical noise. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) the microscope is shown to be stable within 0.1 ̊A. Instructions for the maintenance of the system are presented for future users of the microscope and to illustrate many of the systems described in the design of the microscope. The source of electrons used in the LEEPS microscope is a tungsten tip sharpened so as to field-emit electrons from a single atom. The technique for crafting such tips by field- assisted etching with nitrogen is described along with a discussion of the parameters used to control the aspect-ratio of the tip. Several samples are investigated using LEEPS: a sharp silicon nitride edge, a carbon nanotube bundle and graphene. The sample preparation techniques are discussed for each sample. Also, simple models for describing the resulting fringe patterns are proposed. There are several benefits associated with using LEEPS, including the lack of beam induced morphological changes or contamination. The samples are used to elucidate many properties about the optical system of the microscope, most importantly the expected resolution of the system. The software designed for the microscope to acquire images with high fidelity and for post-processing and correcting data is demonstrated. The microscope is shown to have a virtual source size of 1.6±0.6 ̊A a figure that exceeds published results form similar instruments. Preliminary holographic reconstructions are shown. The work concludes with a discussion of the parameters to be optimized in order to reach atomic resolution.

Review - The Music in her Mind - Robert Gilkes

- Anonymous26 March 2012 at 09:52
I am not only a huge fan of historical fiction but i am also interested in literature that is centered around the war and this book sounds really interesting & facinating. It can be challeging to write a novel that is based around the war and for it to be authentic & realistic as much as a non-fictional book would be. I will definately seek this book out! xReplyDelete
From: Miss. Lucinda Fountain
I admire authors who write historical fiction, the research that has to be undertaken must be vast.
Sounds very good to me. I love historical fiction, and I agree the research must be vast.ReplyDelete
Strange to think of the places where love is to be found. I like the sound of this one, thanks for recommending it.ReplyDelete
I love historical fiction, and the element of romance only adds to my interest in this one. Thanks for the review!ReplyDelete
I am in awe of how much detail the authors must have to check.
It is even more apparent in this particular novel as the characters are in a prisoner of war camp.
I can recommend this one

The scars of Sea Siren's unsuccessful Hong Kong mission are still fresh but they haven't dimmed John O'Shea's enthusiasm to campaign horses overseas.
The Randwick trainer was shattered when his three-time Group One winner finished ninth in the International Sprint after a near-perfect lead-up.
The race didn't pan out as well after she struck interference coming out of the gates which made her over-race and forced her to travel wide.
It was O'Shea's second major disappointment in Hong Kong.
Three years ago he took Racing To Win there for the Mile but the grey was injured in the run and never raced again.
Sea Siren has also emerged from her Hong Kong experience battle scarred, although the damage is superficial.
"She's got a few bruises, a few cuts and abrasions. A black eye. She could have pulled up a bit better," O'Shea said.
Sea Siren will spend time in quarantine before returning to be prepared for the TJ Smith Stakes during the Sydney autumn carnival.
O'Shea said it was too soon for connections to entertain thoughts of taking the mare to Royal Ascot.
"Obviously, we're just a bit stunned. It's not the right time to ask us now but the reality is, I'd like to overcome the challenge of winning in Hong Kong," O'Shea said.
"It's an achievable thing to do and it's something, going forward, I'd like to continue to do, is to travel horses.
"We had a good bit of success in Melbourne this year and obviously now the challenge is to travel them internationally.
"But you've got to be a little resilient because no matter how good your preparation is, to have the wind knocked out of your sails straight away is disappointing."
The Hong Kong Sprint has been a bogey race for Australian-trained gallopers since Falvelon followed back-to-back wins in 2000-2001 with a third the following year.
Royal Ascot winner Miss Andretti failed to make an impact in 2007 while Apache Cat was beaten into third as an odds-on favourite in 2008 before finishing midfield 12 months later.

Country newcomer Dakota Bradley will release his debut single, "Somethin' Like Somethin'," to radio on April 29. The track was co-written by Mark Irwin, Josh Kear, and Shane McAnally and is the lead single from his upcoming debut album, produced by Tim McGraw and Byron Gallimore.
Watch a clip of Dakota singing "Somethin' Like Somethin'" below:
"Dakota is the real deal," Tim said. "He is a great young artist who defies the trends and lives for his music. His voice is unique and instantly recognizable, and his ability to convey pure emotion in his music draws the listener in from the very first word of every song. Working with him on this project has been a lot of fun. The single is a great summer song and I really think Country radio is going to dig it."
"I am truly blessed to have had Byron Gallimore and Tim McGraw co-produce the single and my album," Dakota said. "I pinch myself every day to make sure this isn't a dream. I am really thankful for them both and for Streamsound Records for taking a chance on me."
Dakota has been visiting country stations for the past three months on a national radio tour. He's also been making impromptu appearances across the United States, including stops at San Antonio Mall, Dylan's Candy Shop in New York City, and Orlando for "Playlist Live." In March, he performed for a sold-out crowd at Gramercy Theatre in New York City.
"Somethin' Like Somethin'" will be available on iTunes and other major digital music retailers May 14.

OGDENSBURG When Gina M. Ahrens of Ogdensburg was told that her son was involved in a fatal automobile crash, it was the worst day of her life.
But the news was a lie.
The call, which was placed to her in-laws, Douglas H. and Dorothy M. Ahrens, turned out to be a scam, one of the latest reported to the Ogdensburg Police Department, Lt. Harry J. McCarthy said.
The Ahrenses received the phone call around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The first caller posed as their grandson, Matthew M. Ahrens, and said he had been drinking with a friend and got into an automobile accident in Atlanta, Ga.
The man posing as my son said was he was OK, Gina Ahrens said. He told my in-laws that he didnt sound like himself because he broke his nose and cut his lip. He said he had been taken from the hospital to the police station because the accident had resulted in a fatality.
Five minutes later, her in-laws received a call from someone posing as a lawyer, David Bell, who said he was representing their grandson. He said their grandson was involved in a car accident and had been charged with driving while intoxicated. He gave them a case number and a phone number to call.
He said that our son was incarcerated and we needed to pay $2,950 in bail so he could be released from jail, Gina Ahrens said.
Douglas Ahrens was ready to pay the fee until the fake lawyer asked a question.
He said to my father-in-law, Your grandson told me you were retired? Gina Ahrens said. My father-in-law said he was retired law enforcement. After that, the line went dead.
Thats when the elder Ahrenses called Gina and her husband, Mark D.
Douglas Ahrens told us to come over there immediately, Gina Ahrens said. That Matthew had been in a bad accident, and we had to get ahold of this lawyer, David Bell.
But the phone number they were given had been disconnected.
We were all in a panic. We tried to contact my son, but we could not get ahold of him, Gina Ahrens said.
Matthew Ahrens, 20, has been serving in the Navy for more than a year and has been stationed in Bahrain for the last eight months. He is due home next month, for 27 days of leave.
The family called the Navy recruiting office in Potsdam and the American Red Cross.
At roughly 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, they reached Matthew via Skype. It was just a nightmare for all of us, his mother said.
Scammers usually target the elderly, Lt. McCarthy said.
Gina Ahrens said she hopes sharing her story will help another family in the future.
I dont want anyone else to have to go through this, she said. Both my in-laws are over 80 years old. I dont know who is doing this, but it takes an awful person to do something like this.

Top Features
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — The weather pattern will be changing up for the next few days, so pull out those sweaters you've been dying to wear!
Wednesday will still be nice with temperatures hovering in the mid to upper 70s. The off-shore flow really hasn't kicked in, so daytime highs are not up quite as much as initially thought, but temps are still well above average by nearly 10 degrees in some cases.
Everything changes Thursday as the ridge of high pressure is knocked down. There is a wave of energy moving through and it could translate into some light spotty drizzle.
Look for mostly cloudy skies, than varying cloudiness through the day. The best chances for any drizzle will be later. Don't look for much more than a trace of rain on this round.
Winds will kick up, which is why a high wind watch has been issued for the Inland Empire Mountains. It starts Wednesday night and runs through early Friday.
There is another wave of energy moving through Sunday, however most of the energy will remain off-shore, so rain chances are nil. Temperatures starting Thursday will be dipping below average through at least Tuesday. Look for highs running about 5 to 7 degrees below average.
Basin – mid to upper 70s
Beaches – low 70s
Valleys – upper 70s to low 80s
Mountains – low 60s
Deserts – low 70s

Meals rolled out this week
Houston County Courier
By Lynda Jones
Managing Editor
The DETCOG Area Agency of Aging had 400 boxed meals delivered to Houston County this week for Meals on Wheels clients. Holly Anderson, director of the Area Agency on Aging, said Wednesday that her staff, along with some of the regular Meals on Wheels drivers, delivered the meals. Anderson obtained a waiver from the state to use funds already allocated for the Service Center for Older Americans of Houston County meals in order to purchase these "emergency" rations. Anderson and her staff were in Crockett Tuesday and Wednesday to begin a monitoring visit to the senior citizens center in Crockett. The center announced its temporary closure last week. The Area Agency on Aging will be delivering meals similar to those delivered this week until June 30. Anderson said the monitoring visit includes meeting the clients who receive the meals. She said her staff identified needs for additional support for some of the clients visited Tuesday, such as wheel chair ramps and microwaves. She said her office is working to provide the additional help these senior citizens need. During the visit, she and her staff are also looking at the center's financial records, client records and billing records, actual logs and sign-in sheets, its operational procedures, board minutes, compliance issues, etc. "We want to see what it is we need to do to help them get in compliance and up and running again," Anderson said.
