one of the largest wadis on the Arabian Peninsula, stretches about 465 km (288 mi.) parallel to the south coast and descends from west to southeast to the Indian Ocean. The wadi bed, about 308 m deep, cuts through the Eocene limestone tableland (the Jol), and varies in width from 15 km (9 mi.) on the west to about 92 m in Wadi Maseila. Its bed has an elevation of about 920 m above sea level. The Ḥadhramaut receives less than 200 mm of rainfall annually and is dry except during April–May when flash flooding, fed by numerous tributaries on both its north and south sides, inundates groves of date palms and fields for cereals. During the remainder of the year, wells, ranging from 15 to 20 deep, provide water for garden plots. The major section of the Ḥadhramaut boasts of three cities, built entirely of mud brick and featuring some of the world's most exotic architecture: Shibam, Seiyun, and Tarim. Although neither environment nor known historical events justifies or explains the name Ḥadhramaut, it is used for both a wadi and a pre-Islamic kingdom.
The kingdom of Ḥadhramaut was centered in the main wadi and extended eastward and southward to the ocean. Its capital, Shabwa, was located in the westernmost part of the valley. It is one of six pre-Islamic kingdoms; the others are Sheba, Ma῾in, Qataban, Ḥimyar, and Ausan. [See Sheba; Qataban; Ḥimyar.] Ḥadhramaut is the easternmost state. Names of Ḥadhrami kings are known as early as the fifth century BCE, and they, with later rulers, can be correlated in a chronological framework with kings of the other South Arabian states.
In the Table of Nations (Gn. 10:26; 1 Chr. 1:20), Ḥadhramaut belongs to the fifth generation descended from Shem via Eber and is one of the thirteen sons of Joktan. Among classical authors, Strabo (16.4.4) mentions Chatramotitis (Ḥadhramaut) as the beginning of an incense route crossing Arabia to Gerrha on the Arabian Gulf. Pliny the Elder (12.35.64) refers to Astramitica (Ḥadhramautic) as a variety of myrrh. He also notes (12.32.63–64) that Shabwa marks the beginning of the major incense route along the western fringe of the Arabian desert to the Mediterranean port of Gaza.
Theodore Bent and his wife were the first Western visitors to the Ḥadhramaut in 1893–1894, but the beginning of major exploration began in the 1930s. Daniel Van der Meulen and Hermann von Wissmann conducted research in historical geography In 1931 and 1939. A number of British political officers, notably Harold and Doreen Ingrams, published information gleaned during their extensive travels throughout the region. Freya Stark conducted explorations In 1935 and In 1937. The first excavation occurred In 1937–1938 at Ḥureidha, undertaken by Gertrude Caton-Thompson, Elinor Gardner, and Stark. [See Ḥureidha.] The following year, R. A. B. Hamilton (Master of Belhaven) undertook exploratory excavations at Shabwa. [See the biography of Caton-Thompson.]
Following World War II, G. Lankester Harding visited sites in the Ḥadhramaut and elsewhere in the Aden Protectorates (1959–1960). [See the biography of Harding.] During 1961–1962, Gus Van Beek, Glen Cole, and Albert Jamme, under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, conducted an intensive archaeological survey between Tarim and Qarn Qaimah, along tributaries, and the Jol. The French Archaeological Mission, directed by Jean- François Breton, excavated Shabwa from 1975–1987. During this period, Russian scholar Mikhail Piotrovski and his colleagues conducted excavations and historical research at Raybun.
The earliest prehistoric evidence stems from the Middle Paleolithic, characterized by a Levallois technique of flake preparation. This phase continued without obvious development until tools produced by a preagriculture, desert Neolithic technology appeared. To this or the succeeding period belong numerous megalithic structures, large stone circles, and a unique complex of four dolmenlike structures whose inner surfaces are decorated with repeated rows of a pecked meander or crenellated design.
The excavation of pre-Islamic town sites shows that Ḥadhramaut culture developed with mainstream South Arabian culture, as at Qataban, Sheba, Ma῾in, and Ḥimyar, with only a few minor differences. It shared the same language, with characteristics like those at Qataban and Ma῾in. Identical methods of flash-flood and well irrigation were used. A similar religious pantheon featuring the moon god, known there as Sin, and cult paraphernalia prevailed. The architectural forms and designs are identical, except for the discovery at Shabwa of "skyscrapers," or tall buildings. One of these, reaching six stories, preserves a post-and-beam skeleton, not unlike structural steel frameworks used today, featuring massive 'ilb (jujube) wooden beams, rigidly assembled with tongue-and-groove, pegs, and with brick curtain walls. This building, a palace, probably dates to the second century CE and was destroyed by fire in the fifth century.

The present application is co-pending with and claims priority benefit of provisional application titled "System and method for enhancing location accuracy of mobile appliances in sparse network deployment" Ser. No. 60/480,735 filed Jun. 24, 2003, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The use of wireless communication devices such as telephones, pagers, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, etc., hereinafter referred to collectively as "mobile appliances" or "mobiles", has become prevalent in today's society. Recently, at the urging of public safety groups, there has been increased interest in technology which can determine the geographic position, or "geo-locate" a mobile appliance in certain circumstances.
In the United States, mobile wireless appliance locating equipment is being deployed for the purpose of locating wireless callers who dial 911. Other services in addition to emergency call servicing are contemplated and are referred to as location based services (LBS). Wireless location equipment is typically employed as an overlay to wireless communication networks, thus forming a network overlay geo-location system.
In operation, these network overlay location systems take measurements on radio frequency (RF) transmissions from mobile appliances at base station locations surrounding the mobile appliance, and estimate the location of the mobile appliance with respect to the base stations. Because the geographic location of the base stations is known, the determination of the location of the mobile appliance with respect to the base station permits the geographic location of the mobile appliance to be determined. The RF measurements of the transmitted signal at the base stations may include the time of arrival, the angle of arrival, the signal power, or the unique/repeatable radio propagation path (radio fingerprinting) derivable features. In addition, the geo-location systems may also use collateral information, e.g., information other than that derived for the RF measurement to assist in the geo-location of the mobile appliance, i.e., location of roads, dead-reckoning, topography, map matching, etc.
In a network-based geo-location system, the mobile appliance to be located is typically identified and radio channel assignments determined by (a) monitoring the control information transmitted on radio channel for telephone calls being placed by the mobile appliance or on a wire line interface to detect calls of interest, i.e., 911, and (b) a location request provided by a non-mobile appliance source, i.e., an enhanced services provider. Once a mobile appliance to be located has been identified and radio channel assignments determined, the location determining system is first tasked to determine the geo-location of the mobile appliance and then directed to report a determined position to the requesting entity or enhanced services provider.
The monitoring of the RF transmissions from the mobile appliance or wire line interfaces to identify calls of interest is known as "tipping", and generally involves recognizing a call of interest being made from a mobile appliance and collecting the call setup information. Once the mobile appliance is identified and the call setup information is collected, the location determining system may be tasked to geo-locate the mobile appliance.
In the normal course of operation, the GCS is tasked by an outside entity, e.g., the Mobile Positioning Center ("MPC") 40, to generate a location estimate on a particular mobile appliance. The tasking is accompanied by information on the mobile of interest including the serving base station and sector for the call and the RE channel (frequency, time slot, CDMA code, etc.) being used by the wireless communications network to complete the wireless connection. Once the GCS receives this tasking, based on the serving sector, it tasks a set of WLS units to make measurements on the RF emissions of the mobile. The WLS units make the measurements, and report them to the GCS. The GCS then computes a location estimate using a mathematical or data matching algorithm. Alternatively, control signaling on RF or wireline interfaces used to set up calls in the wireless network may be scanned to detect the placement of a call of interest. The signaling that occurs on the RF control channel may be used to determine location, or call setup/channel assignment parameters may be extracted from the control massaging to determine which traffic channel to use for location related measurements.
Network overlay location systems typically locate a mobile appliance on the traffic channels of a wireless network. The system typically uses sensors employing techniques of Time Difference of Arrival ("TDOA") supplemented with Angle of Arrival ("AOA") in some cases to perform a multi-site location computation. The traffic channel assignment information is provided through a separate process, with one option being a wireline interface providing MOBINFO S-41. Mobile Information) parameters passed by the Mobile Positioning Center 40 as part of the GPOSREQ (J-SID-036 Geolocation Position Request) message from the MPC 40 to the GCS 50.
A network overlay system is generally composed of two main components, one component which resides at the base station that makes measurements on an RF signal emanating from a wireless device with the WLS 30, and the other component which resides at a mobile switch that tasks the geo-location sensor groups to collect data and then uses the data to compute a location estimate. This component is generally referred to as the Geo-location Control System 50 ("GCS").
Techniques used to locate (AOA, TDOA, etc.) are all described in prior art. One facet of their operation that is important is the process whereby one site, the WLS co-located with the serving base station, is designated as the primary, and it sends information bits relating to the sample of the received signal to the other sites designated as the secondary sites to assist the secondary sites in increasing hearability of the signal of interest to make location related measurements. Various methods have been developed to define and coordinate the tasking, detection and reporting functions. One such method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,327,144 to Still which is hereby incorporated by reference.
In general, network overlay geolocation systems are deployed at virtually all base station sites to achieve a desired accuracy. A specific problem in prior art methods is that a primary wireless location sensor must be located at the serving base station. Because of cost and other reasons there is now a desire to put WLS equipment into a subset of the base station sites (sparse network deployment) and still maintain high location accuracy.
In general, network overlay location systems use location related measurements from many sites to estimate the location. For example, in GSM systems typically 6 or 7 sites participate in the location estimate. One effect of not having a WLS at every site is degradation of location accuracy. For some air interfaces, this may be problematic. For example, in AMPS and TDMA where the occupied bandwidth is small, the error associated with location estimates where the number of participating sites is reduced becomes unsatisfactory. Air interfaces such as GSM and CDMA do not suffer from this, and mobile appliances operating in these air interfaces are wider bandwidth and/or frequency hopped. These features allow the TDOA or AOA surfaces generated to be less corrupted by multi-path (multi-path can be better resolved in the time domain), and therefore, even with fewer surfaces, the location estimates are generally acceptable.
Another effect of the sparse overlay is "no location areas". "No location areas"are those areas in which a minimum number of WLS cannot detect or measure an attribute of a signal such that the geo-location system cannot estimate a location. Mobile appliances are power controlled by the wireless network. This means that the mobile's transmit power is changed by the network so that that minimum power is transmitted to achieve an acceptable communications link (i.e., the voice quality is acceptable). When a mobile appliance moves close to a base station site, the required transmit power for an acceptable communications link is reduced to a small value. This power control is well known in the art and is desirable because it diminishes co-channel interference and adjacent cell interference where channel reuse is employed and prolongs the battery life of the mobile appliance. However, if the base station that is serving the mobile appliance does not have WLS (due to the sparse deployment), then there is no WLS to "hear" the mobile at the serving site, and the neighboring site WLS units may not be able to hear the mobile because of severe power control resulting in low transmit power. The result is of this phenomenon is a series of "no location areas" surrounding the base station sites without WLS equipment due to the sparse overlay.
Therefore in order to obviate the deficiencies of the prior art it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a novel method for geo-location in "no location" areas.
It is also an object of the present disclosure to provide a novel method of detecting the target signal independently of a primary WLS.
These objects and other advantages of the disclosed subject matter will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art to which the disclosure pertains from a perusal or the claims, the appended drawings, and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
The present disclosure is directed towards methods to provide location related measurements in the "no location areas" as described above.
The disclosure presents various solutions that obviate the deficiencies in the prior art. The disclosure envisions all combinations and permutations of the following techniques in order to determine a location estimate. The disclosure also envisions use of the following described techniques individually or in combination conditioned on determining if a location hole exists," no location" area, or not at all sites or some designated by different conditions. Conditions used as selection criteria include proximity, heard or not heard signal, signal quality, etc.
One location determining technique available for "no location" areas is the use of known data sequences (such as training sequence codes) in the transmission and having sites perform ambiguity function processing to detect a signal. This approach requires no data to be sent from primary site to secondary site. This technique is advantageous in sparse geo-location deployments as many of the "no location areas" are created by the absence of a primary WLS that provides information to assist neighboring WLS's in detection and measurement of the mobile's signal. In addition to a priori known data sequences, information bits derived from an Abis monitoring unit can provide data bits (known data sequences) to perform ambiguity function processing.
The timing advance (TA) of the signal can also provide a location surface for use in no location areas and can be generated independently of the WLS. A determination or reception of the TA permits a computation of the radius or surface about which the mobile is likely located.
In a GSM system, for example, the mobile is expected to transmit three time slots subsequent to receiving data from the base. If there were no propagation delay, the mobile transmission then arrives in a certain time window that excludes arrivals from other mobiles. As the mobile moves farther away from the base, if no adjustment were made for the finite propagation delays on the transmissions in both directions, the mobile transmissions of distinct mobiles could and likely would overlap in time. This overlap causes undesirable interference. A resolution to this problem is derived by forcing the mobile to transmit with an attributable delay, a TA commensurate with the propagation delay. In GSM systems the base transmits a TA parameter to the mobile appliance. The TA parameter is the time by which the mobile needs to advance its transmission so that the base can avoid inter-mobile interference in time due to varying propagation times.
The base station computes and adjusts the TA parameter so that the mobile transmission falls into a desirable location in the time domain. Ideally, the TA parameter adjusts exactly for the round trip propagation delay. The current value of the TA parameter is transmitted to the mobile within the layer 1 header of the Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCR). In addition the BTS transmits the applied TA value to the BSC within a MEAS_RES message. Of course, other methods of managing and disseminating the TA are envisioned and are not meant to be precluded from operation with the disclosed subject matter.
An exemplary TA parameter can be set in the integer range 1 to 63 which corresponds to time increments of (48/13) microseconds. The steps are hence of the order of 1100 meters or resolution, and the maximum TA value corresponds to where the one way propagation delay for the mobile is equivalent to a radial distance of 35 km from the base for the exemplary GSM system described.
Another technique to assist in determining location in the "no location area" is to use Enhanced Observed Time Difference (EOTD) data derived from the Abis monitoring as a source to produce a surface.
EOTD is a well known and described location technique whereby timing measurements are made on forward link transmissions by the handset and passed to a central site to calculate a location using TOA or TDOA methods.
EOTD operates by making timing measurements on forward link signals with known data sequences. For GSM, the timing measurements are made on the BCCH (Base. Station Control Channel) channels. The timing measurements are forwarded via data links from the handsets to a location process or where the timing measurements along with the locations of the source base stations allows a location estimate to be made. One key component of the EOTD approach is the step of "synchronizing" the time base at the transmitting base stations. In general, GSM base stations are not locked to a high accuracy reference; therefore, the timing measurements made by the handsets are not referenced to a common standard. To create the common reference, EOTD depends on measuring the forward link timing from multiple base stations at known locations. The WLS perform this function. Additional refinements of the EOTD method have eliminated the use of the WLS by synthesizing the base station common reference by taking repeated over-determined timing location estimates on handsets.
An additional method operable in embodiments of the current subject matter to assisting in determining a location estimate in the "no location areas" as envisioned in this disclosure is the use of adjacent cell power measurements taken from the target mobile, as captured by the Abis monitoring unit.
The GSM mobile is required to transmit the current power level used in the SACCH layer 1 header on each uplink channel. The power level dissipates as a function of approximately the distance squared (1/D2). Therefore, knowledge of the power level of the transmitting mobile and the power level of the received signal and approximation of the distance between the BTS and the mobile appliance can be obtained.
Given the mobile'ss transmit power and its observed receive power, the known equivalent distance can be calculated and used to determine a surface or a solitary location hyperbola derived from when two sites can hear the mobile appliance
Pattern matching techniques are also operable in embodiments of the current subject matter in that they can compare sets of measurement data that by itself could not be used to ambiguously locate a mobile. Location of the mobile could be derived from the best fit of measurement data to theoretical propagation models or actual drive test data. Candidate measurement data may include all sources mentioned here such as received signal strength, timing advance, cell site hearability, sector hearability, adjacent cell site power measurements, multi-path signature based on relative levels of power, delay, frequency, and angle, and traditional time of arrival measurements.
Another technique available for no location areas is to configure the mobile appliances to allow pseudo-range measurements to be taken from timing signals transmitted in other RF bands, such as IS-95 and 1�RTT (1� Radio Transmission Technology) forward link transmissions that are synchronized to GPS. Since the forward signals are synchronized to GPS, the mobile appliance can generate a range estimate that can be used as a location surface. The range thus is independent of WLS measurements.
The speed of the mobile appliance can also be used indirectly to provide a location surface. Using differential Doppler and fading envelope detection techniques, the speed of the mobile appliance can be determined in relationship to the base stations or WLS. If the speed is above a threshold, for example 55 MPH, the geo-location system can infer that the mobile appliance is on high-speed roadways, and therefore use high-speed roadways in the cell coverage area as surfaces of position for location.
Network design measurements can also be taken to avoid creation of no location areas. WLS can be deployed at non-base station sites as location only measurement units that are geographically positioned to provide broad coverage, such as high altitude sites with broad antenna elevation patterns. The WLS can be patterned to provide coverage similar to the host wireless network and thus any call initiated within the network coverage area would be within the coverage area of the WLS network.
Embodiments of the present subject matter are operable in sparse network deployments where some but not all of base station have co-located WLS and thus "no location" areas are generally more of a problem. In general, the geo-location system attempts to locate a mobile appliance by receiving a signal from the mobile appliance at the primary wireless location sensor. The primary wireless location sensor typically is one co-located with the serving base station. As mentioned above since the base station controls the power of the mobile transmissions, the co-located primary WLS is in the best position to collect a strong signal.
Embodiments of the disclosed subject matter attempt to generate a location estimate for the mobile appliance using TOA, TDOA or AOA. The inability to determine a location estimate or the system knowledge that the serving base station is not equipped with a co-located WLS is an indication that a "no, location" area exists, and the geo-location system then selects from the available techniques, described above; to generate additional location surfaces. The additional location surface or surfaces along with surfaces generated in the first attempt relating to TOA, TDOA or AOA are used to generate a location estimate. The number of techniques uses in a function of the number of additional location surface required to generate a location. For example, where a TDOA surface has been generated, only one additional surface may be needed to estimate a location or more thin one additional surface may be needed to meet accuracy requirements. However, if no surfaces are available from the first attempt to generate a location estimate, several of the techniques may be needed.
The selection criteria used in embodiment of the disclosed subject matter can be as varied as the techniques are used. For example, the techniques requiring a modified mobile appliance, such as for generating a pseudo range, if the mobile appliance in question is not of the proper type, the corresponding technique would not be selected. The selection criteria may also be a function of the number of cell sites that hear the signal (hearability), the number of cell sites heard by the mobile appliance, a predetermined sequential hierarchy, or a operator defined hierarchy.
If it is determined in Block 202 that the base station does not have a co-located WLS, the geo-location system selects one or more steps in to obtain a location estimate as shown in Block 207. These steps are implementations of the techniques describe above. The steps are selected based on selection criteria A location estimate is then determined based at least in part on the one or more steps selected as shown in Block 208.
While preferred embodiments of the present inventive system and method have been described, it is to be understood that the embodiments described are illustrative only and that the scope of the embodiments of the present inventive system and method is to be defined solely by the appended claims when accorded a full range of equivalence, many variations and modifications naturally occurring to those of skill in the art from a perusal hereof.

Online media and images company Jupitermedia (NSDQ: JUPM) had a poor Q3, with revenues down 13 percent year-over-year and losses that shot up. Revenues came in at $31 million, down from $34.8 million in Q307, dragged down by slumps in its two core divisions. Online images revenue was down 12 percent, from $26.8 million in Q307 to $23.4 million. But the company won't have to worry about that much longer, as it sold its online images division to Getty Images (NYSE: GYI) in late October. The plan is to devote more attention to its stable of online properties like Mediabistro.com — which didn't fare much better in Q3: Revenues came in at $7.5 million, down five percent from $7.9 million in Q307. Meanwhile, losses topped $22.6 million, up sharply both from Q2 and the previous year.

The TUC has reminded parents of school age children that they now have access to unpaid parental leave that could help them secure time off work during school holidays.
Under Universal Credit, families working full time could have less disposable income than part-timers, according to a new report for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
Of the £950 million provided for additional support with child care, only £200 million will go to low to middle income families on Tax Credits or Universal Credit.
The UK government's childcare voucher proposals will not help those most in need in the midst of huge further cuts the chancellor is planning, say critics.
Scottish families on low-incomes are being forced to leave work and turn down jobs because they cannot afford to pay for childcare, a new survey shows.

Cloud-services provider Appirio Inc. has gathered $35 million so far in a new round led by Fidelity Management & Research Co., an arm of mutual-fund company Fidelity Investments.
Appirio is still talking to strategic investors and will leave the round open for a short time, co-founder and Chief Executive Chris Barbin told Venture Capital Dispatch. It hasn't set a target for the fundraising. Read More »
A new academic study lends credence to the idea that the "wisdom of crowds" phenomenon applies not just to encyclopedia entries and restaurant reviews, but also to stock market predictions.
Researchers from City University of Hong Kong, Purdue University and Georgia Institute of Technology found that the tone of stock market opinion blogs published on investor forum SeekingAlpha.com predicted stock returns, as well as earnings surprises, above and beyond what was evident from Wall Street analyst reports and financial news articles.

A startup called Applause Inc., previously known as uTest, has raised $43 million to help businesses test their Web, mobile and desktop apps "on real devices in the hands of real consumers in actual markets," rather than in a device laboratory or other limited setting, Chief Executive Doron Reuveni said.
Goldman Sachs led the Series E investment, joined by the company's earlier investors including QuestMark Partners, Scale Venture Partners, Longworth Venture Partners, Egan-Managed Capital and Mesco Ltd. Valuation was not disclosed.
The new round brings the Boston startup's total capital raised to $80 million.
Mr. Reuveni, a company co-founder, said Applause plans to use its new capital to open new international offices in Europe; initiate marketing campaigns to make sure its new brand name is well-known in the field; and to create additional app lifecycle management tools for developers, engineers and digital marketers.
The company has a global community of 100,000 software testing professionals around the world who can test apps for any device, including smartphones, connected cars and the new wave of wearable technologies and smart home devices, Mr. Reuveni said. Read More »

text: NPR Staff Ravages Of Heroin Addiction Haunt Friends, Families And Whole Towns By NPR Staff • Aug 23, 2015 Marion, Ohio, just north of Columbus, used to be an idyllic place to grow up. Kelly Clixby and Beth Carey remember what it was like a generation ago, when they were young. "I lived across the street from one of the big parks here," Clixby says. "We would rip n' run all day and all night and come in when the street lights were on." "It was just a nice place to live," Carey says. Today, Marion is different. It's grappling with a full-blown heroin epidemic, one that derailed Kelly Clixby's life and killed Beth Carey's twin sister. Ben Lecomte Swam Across The Atlantic; Next He Tries The Pacific By NPR Staff • Aug 23, 2015 In 1998, Ben Lecomte swam across the Atlantic Ocean. The 47-year-old athlete is preparing for another historic plunge: swimming across the ocean on the other side of the country. At the end of September, Lecomte plans to take off from a Tokyo beach and spend the next six months making his way some 5,500 miles across the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. He'll swim for eight hours a day, then board a support boat to eat and sleep. The next day he'll jump back in the water at the exact same spot. To hear the full conversation, click the audio link above. Bugs Leave As Quickly As They Swarmed In Days Before Burning Man By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 Thousands of people are set to descend on the Black Rock Desert of Nevada for the annual Burning Man Festival, starting August 30. But before their arrival, the campgrounds were visited by another group of guests: bugs. John Curley is a photographer and blogger for the Burning Man website. He says he first noticed the bugs at a gas station near Black Rock. U.S. Compensates Marine Exposed To Toxic Chemicals In '80s By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 The horror of Agent Orange and its effects on Vietnam war veterans and Vietnamese citizens is well-documented. But many U.S. veterans who never fought in that war say they, too, handled toxic chemicals at military bases around the world, suffering the same health consequences. Retired Lt. Col. Kris Roberts is among them. Off The Streets And Onto The Syllabus: The Freddie Gray Course By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 It's been less than six months since Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man, died after sustaining severe injuries in police custody. At the time, Gray's death set off days of demonstrations in Baltimore — as well as rioting and criminal charges against six police officers. Those officers have all pleaded not guilty. In WWII, Millions Of Indians Fought For A Britain They Abhored By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 We often hear the story of the Second World War through the experiences of American and British soldiers pitted in battle against Germany and Japan. But the largest volunteer force in the world then was the Indian Army: More than 2 million Indian men fought for Britain, even as Indian citizens struggled to be free of the British Empire. Trump Is No Conservative, Says Conservative Pundit Glenn Beck By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 The rise of Donald Trump as a Republican presidential candidate has surprised many pundits, but not conservative commentator Glenn Beck. Trump has widened his lead over other Republican presidential candidates in public opinion polls. Other non-professional politicians, including Dr. Ben Carson, a brain surgeon, and Carly Fiorina, the former head of Hewlett-Packard, have also shot ahead of politicians in the polls. Voters are angry, and they "want somebody just to say it the way they think it — especially if they say it in a non-politically correct way," Beck says. Reporting Post-Ferguson: A Journey To 'Very Dark Places' By NPR Staff • Aug 22, 2015 The year since Michael Brown died in Ferguson, Mo., several confrontations between African-Americans and police have become national stories. Often, black journalists have been leading the coverage on these incidents and the steady trickle of them have taken a psychological toll. Many of them shared their experiences with Gene Demby of NPR's Code Switch team. 'Shots On The Bridge' Unpacks A Tangled Story Of Deceit And Tragedy By NPR Staff • Aug 18, 2015 On Sept. 4, 2005 — nearly a week after floodwaters submerged much of the city, a call came in to the New Orleans Police Department: Officers in distress, maybe under fire, at the Danziger Bridge. In Life After Life, 'Incarnations' Spins A Sinuous Tale Of Soul Mates By NPR Staff • Aug 16, 2015 It all starts with a strange letter left for a Beijing cabdriver, tucked away in the sun visor of his taxi. In the months just before the 2008 Summer Olympics, Wang Jun is living with his wife and daughter — but the message, and those that follow, quickly tangle that quiet life in complications.

@Catalina- you went to a football game? Cool! I usually don't have the patience for sports, but I went to my schools homecoming. We lost. I didn't cry over it, we were pretty rude to the other team.
Oh! I got into my first college! Very excited. And nervous. Because that means I'm even closer to be a real adult.
Hope you're all having a good Sunday night.-Athena

@Izzy- haha, I've often thought it's lucky I was the one of the most conservative girls in my high school and never had a boyfriend... the last person you'd expect to been a teen mother... Not that I think you'd be one! But yeah, if not for that people would probably find my interest in names weird. Many of my friends are quirky so they just find my namenerdiness amusing, haha
@Athena- congrats! Haha when I got my first acceptance letter I showed my friend and was like does this really say what I think it says... I was so shocked! Wow, it happens really early in the US... our applications weren't due until January and acceptances would start coming in February/March (could be as late as May/June for some really specialized programs).~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

@Lauren- I applied for early decision, and they got back to me really fast.I was a bit surprised, but a friend who had applied to the same school had heard a few days before I did. It was still really exciting. I ran in and told my parents, who responded by sliding a shiny new penny across the counter to me. Unless I apply for early decision (which I doubt I will, since that deadline is next week) the rest of my applications are due in January.-Athena

FactChecking the GOP Debate, Late Edition
The candidates made misleading claims on banking, jobs, education and more.
A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center
The candidates made misleading claims on banking, jobs, education and more.
The Republican presidential candidates who failed to make the cut for the Aug. 6 prime-time debate repeated a number of past false and misleading claims, while adding some new ones that we hadn't heard before.
Under the Affordable Care Act, millions of the uninsured have gained Medicaid coverage. But is Medicaid good for their health, bad for their health, or does it make no difference?
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is now the second major Republican candidate to officially declare he will run for president. We present a sampling of some past claims from Paul that we have reviewed on our site.
The Republican candidates in Michigan's 4th Congressional District entered the final weeks of the primary trading misleading claims in TV ads that rely on deceptive tactics to distort the facts.
Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia takes a quote from his Republican opponent, Evan Jenkins, out of context to falsely imply that Jenkins is "comfortable" with raising "seniors' out-of-pocket costs" for Medicare by $6,000.
Q: Does the Affordable Care Act allow states to confiscate the estates of seniors on Medicaid when they die?
A: No, but a 1993 federal law requires states to recover Medicaid costs for long-term care from the estates of deceased Medicaid beneficiaries over the age of 55.
Sen. Rand Paul says the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion may "bankrupt" rural hospitals in Kentucky. But state health care leaders say its hospitals stand to benefit.
Conservative critics of the Affordable Care Act are misrepresenting a study examining the health benefits of expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income people.
Q: Do 11 states now have more people on welfare than they have employed?
A: A viral email making this claim is off base. It distorts a Forbes article that compares private-sector workers with those "dependent on the government," including government workers and pensioners, and Medicaid recipients — not just "people on welfare."
Q: Are 65,000 Syrian refugees being relocated to the U.S.?
A: No. The Obama administration says 1,000 to 2,000 Syrians will likely be resettled in the United States by the end of September, and at least 10,000 more in 2016.

Final Member of Richard Engel's NBC News Crew Out of Syria
Ian Rivers became separated from Engel's production team in the midst of a fire-fight that resulted in the kidnapping of Engel and a producer and cameraman.
The final member of the NBC News crew that was working in Turkey and Syria with chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel has safely left Syria.
The announcement came Wednesday from NBC News. Ian Rivers, a member of the NBC News technical staff, became separated from Engel's production team in the midst of a fire-fight early Tuesday that resulted in Engel and producer Ghazi Balkiz and cameraman John Kooistra escaping from captivity.
Rivers is in good condition and will be evaluated in Turkey. NBC News would not elaborate on how Rivers escaped from Syria.
VIDEO: Richard Engel and Crew on 'Psychological Torture' of Syrian Kidnap
"Now that Ian Rivers has been reunited with Richard Engel's entire production team, all of us at NBC News can breathe a huge sigh of relief and express our deep appreciation to all who helped secure their freedom," NBC News president Steve Capus said in a statement. "At the same time, our thoughts and concerns are with those who remain missing inside Syria and we hope for their swift and safe release."
The ordeal began Dec. 13 when Engel said 15 masked gunmen ambushed Engel and his team shortly after they entered Syria with rebels battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. One of the rebels was killed and Engel, Balkiz and Kooistra were blindfolded and bound while being shuttled to various locations inside Syria. When the kidnappers came upon a rebel-manned checkpoint early Tuesday morning a fire-fight broke out; allowing Engel and his colleagues to escape, they said.
Engel said that his kidnappers were Shia loyalists of al-Assad, loyal to Hezbollah, and that they wanted to exchange himself and his colleagues for captives being held by the rebels.
"To be honest, when we first got captured, for me it was a moment of disbelief, but I've worked with those guys for a long time in harsh environments, and we work with each other very well, and it helped that I was captured with them because we kept each others' spirits up," Balkiz said Dec. 18 on the Today show.
Syria remains among the most dangerous locations for journalists where civil unrest and the brutal crackdown by the al-Assad government - which has targeted journalists - has raged since 2011. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 28 journalists have been killed in Syria in 2012, either in combat or targeted for murder by the government or opposition forces. The number of fatalities related to the Syrian conflict approached the worst annual toll recorded during the war in Iraq, where 32 journalists were killed in both 2006 and 2007, said CPJ.

The staff and lounge were great! The design was modern and functional. The free wireless was fast. The hotel room was really clean and updated. The mattress was really comfortable too. Prices at the cafe were perfect. Loved the outdoor space.
Wish I could have known there were balconies overlooking the pool. I would have booked that instead of looking at a parking lot. The doors to my room allowed A LOT of hallway noise and you could hear everyone open and slam doors, waking me up a few times.
