Military personnel from the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) carrying victims of a hurricane through flood waters.
UN Photo - September 2008
The Security Council sets up UN peacekeeping operations and defines their scope and mandate in its efforts to maintain international peace and security. Most operations involve military duties, such as observing a ceasefire or establishing a buffer zone while negotiators seek a long-term solution. Others may require civilian police or other civilian personnel to help organize elections or monitor human rights. Operations have also been deployed to monitor peace agreements in cooperation with the peacekeeping forces of regional organizations.
Peacekeeping operations may last for a few months or continue for decades. The UN operation at the ceasefire line between India and Pakistan in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, for example, was established in 1949, and UN peacekeepers have been in Cyprus since 1964. In contrast, the UN was able to complete its 1994 mission in the Aouzou Strip between Libya and Chad in a little over a month.
Since the UN first deployed peacekeepers in 1948, nearly 130 countries have voluntarily provided up to 1 million soldiers, police officers and civilians. They have served, along with thousands of civilians, in more than 60 peacekeeping operations. In 2009, 120 countries were contributing some 90,200 uniformed personnel — a record number. More than 95,000 uniformed personnel provided by some 115 countries are currently serving in those operations.

We decided to investigate. We scoured local fire departments, pizza delivery joints and bars frequented by wild packs of traveling pharmaceutical sales reps, to see if they shared similar experiences. Everywhere we went the story was the same: Bored housewives suffering the pangs of withdrawal from a marriage that's lost its luster start calling random men to their home in order to make life more interesting, i.e., more sexual.
Our sources on the police force say it's a fairly recent phenomenon, occurring pretty much over the past ten years. A recent study commissioned by The Independent Women's Forumand conducted by the Institute for American Values helps explain the trend. According to the study, the modern woman predominantly engages in two types of relationships: "sexual intimacy with no hope for commitment" or an intense almost immediate commitment "without first getting emotionally acquainted." Either way, bodies are colliding without the hard emotional work of actually getting to know someone. Or, as the study put it: "women [have] few opportunities to explore the marriage worthiness of a variety of men before settling into a long-term commitment with one of them."

Article Summary
Genuis. Pioneer. Innovator. Words that don't even come close to describing the revolutionary thinking of one Lester William Polsfus. Better known as Les Paul, he had such a huge influence on the world of modern music that it's difficult to sum up his achievements in such a short piece. I use the past tense because sadly the Wizard of Waukesha died in a New York Hospital on August 13th.

Vanessa Hudgens in Designer Jeans
Vanessa Hudgens in WILDFOX Marissa Jeans in Euphoria
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted heading to her car after grabbing some drinks in Studio City, California. The actress wore a pair of the WILDFOX Marissa Jeans in Euphoria with some sandals and a leather jacket. She then topped her look off with a wide brimmed hat.
I am happy to see Vanessa in jeans again. She has been very MIA here on the blog lately and I have always found that her style is more consistent and more appealing when she wears denim. Click here to purchase these jeans from the WILDFOX website for $216.
Vanessa Hudgens in Frankie B. Hipster Overalls in Japan Blue
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted visiting a friend in Studio City, California. The actress wore the Frankie B. Hipster Overalls in Japan Blue with some lucite flatform plimsolls.
I am not too keen on the shoe pairing, but I think the fit of these overalls is really great. I can see someone like Drew Barrymore also looking good in them. She has that particular quirk to pull them off really well. You can click here to purchase these overalls from REVOLVEclothing for $305 and you can read Lorna's review on these overalls here.
Vanessa Hudgens in Mink Pink Cut Off Shorts
Vanessa Hudgens tried to hide her face as she and her sister ran errands together. Vanessa wore her Mink Pink cut off shorts with a fatigue jacket and gladiator style sandals.
It seems like Mink Pink is tapering off a bit in terms of popularity compared to a few years ago. I could see someone like Miley Cyrus wearing a pair, since the distressed style and cut off length reminds me a lot of Levi's. You can see how else Vanessa has styled these jeans before here.

Vanessa Hudgens in One Teaspoon Bonita Shorts
Vanessa Hudgens was spotted catching a flight out of Los Angeles, California at LAX Airport. The actress wore a pair of One Teaspoon Bonita Shorts with a plaid shirt tied around her waist and some ankle boots.
One Teaspoon shorts are definitely a staple of Vanessa's during the summer. She as constantly been caught in them over the years. I would like to see her wear a pair of their Sixties shorts as those are one of my favorites. I am very intrigued to see how she would style them as her style has evolved over the past few years. Click here to purchase One Teaspoon from Shopbop.

German MPs reject Steinmeier's sanction against Iran
BERLIN (IRNA) -- Lawmakers of all parties in German Parliament, except the co-ruling Social Democrats (SPD), slammed Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier for planning to step up sanctions over Iran's nuclear program, the daily Der Tagesspiegel said Wednesday.
Legislators of the co-governing Christian Democratic Union (CDU) as well as the opposition Free Democratic Party (FDP) and Greens warned that Steinmeier's new sanction threats would undermine any diplomatic progress in resolving the impasse over Tehran's nuclear program.

Just a question any of you ladies decided to do amnio for your own peace of mind , or did you do it because your age and numbers where low and you dr suggested it? I am thinking of doing it but not sure and going to speak to my dr tomorrow but wanted to get opinions and some answers on it. thanks ladies ..
amnio question?
My first quad screen came back with abnormal results. If the second one does as well, we'll probably have it done. Otherwise, I'm only 24 so we're not too worried about it. Just waiting on those stupid blood test results.
"Buddy" Isaiah: Born 5-8-2010 (.Y.)
"Boo" Blake: Born 2-13-2012 (.Y.)
We had a late 2nd trimester loss, due to chromosomal abnormalities, with our previous pregnancy, so we will be having an amnio done this time...hopefully to only bring us peace of mind. Dr didn't suggest it for this pregnancy, but was very supportive of us wanting it, due to our previous loss. Neither doctor tried to sway us out of it...we had already stated we wanted it, so I don't know if they would've recommended it this time or not.
I won't lie though, I am certainly nervous about it! I was talking to a co-worker today and she said she had an amnio with both of her pregnancies (both healthy children now!)...so, that made me feel a bit better.
Cautiously optimistic! Expecting our twin GIRL RAINBOWS around 2/9/12
12/22/10 ^^Kathryn Grace^^ 21w, 3d Our Angel
Because I'm 42 and knowledge is power. Better to know whatever there is to know than to worry for four more months.
Like bbymac, my first trimester results were abnormal, so we're waiting to see how the second set come out (still 3 weeks away), but if they don't improve our current chances, we'll probably do an amnio so we know what's going on for sure.
Katie (36) and DH (36), friends since 1991, married 2009, DD born 2/16/12, DS born 1/31/14
Planning to do an amnio pending any abormal results given my age (36)
DD-2/12 Green-1/14
Once you report all of the trouble makers, all you're left with is nipple shields and car seats. -mama24sweeties
**Other Kyla Jet**
Me-36, DH-39, DS-1994, DD-2012
thank you ladies for all your responses , you all always make me feel better, Im going to my ob tomorrow and will see what she says god bless all you ladies and your pregnancies may you have healthy and happy babies...
D + B = August G. 2.15.12
( . Y . ) Gold! And still going...
Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Let's end the Mommy Wars!
My NT scan has me pegged as "positive". So I'm doing the amnio for peace of mind. I'm 27, so it's not an age issue.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- UCF jumped out to a 23-0 halftime lead, and then held off a second-half rally to beat Florida International 33-20.

Ooey Gooey Science
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 10:18 PM EDT
Summer is not the time for kids to get behind on their school work, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring classwork.
It can be "ooey and gooey", and still be educational!
These young scientist are mixing water, glue and food coloring to come up with some pretty cool slime!
The kids in grades first through third are taking part in the Ooey Gooey Science Camp at Carolina Day School.
The kids say it's going to be a week of fun, doing all kinds of interesting stuff.
Some of the students got a little "heavy handed" on the water and end up with a really gooey mess.
But they learned if you add a bit more solid, in this case the borax, they can once again have control of their science experiment.

It is the morning after and the Mets will hopefully know more about Jon Niese's injured right ankle. Niese was knocked from Tuesday night's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers in the third inning after being struck by a hard comebacker off the bat of Mark Ellis. Niese fell to the ground and had to be helped off the field. X-Rays were negative and he was diagnosed with a bruise. NIESE: Will he make next start? (Getty) "It felt kind of like a stinger, like it hit a nerve,'' Niese told reporters. "It obviously was painful. But then it kind of locked up down there. I couldn't move my toes. It was kind of scary at first. But then, coming in here, letting it settle down, it's just a bruise. "What are the odds that ball hits my ankle? It's one of those things where I'm glad it's not as bad as what it could have been. I'll just move on, shake it off and get ready for my next start.'' Niese did not say where he earned his medical degree, but knows he won't be sure until he tests it on his throw day

West Mountain Animal Hospital hosts Aug. 3 open houseJuly 27,2013Animal hospital
hosts open house
BENNINGTON West Mountain Animal Hospital is hosting an open house Aug. 3 from 1 to 4 p.m. to celebrate almost 35 years as an accredited member of the American Animal Hospital Association.
West Mountain announced recently that it had again achieved the highest level of veterinary excellence following a thorough reevaluation of the hospitals patient care, practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service by the AAHA.
In a statement, Michael Cavanaugh, chief executive officer of the AAHA, congratulated West Mountain for vigilantly keeping up with advancements in veterinary medicine.

2 reviews of Valley Dairy Restaurant, first by 4kAndNyfe.
Good food, good service = Great combination!
Had the chance to eat at the Butler Valley Dairy Restaurant, located in Butler Commons Plaza along New Castle Rd. Restaurant is at street-level, with plenty of parking in the vicinity. Well decorated and illuminated, and very clean. The chain is noted for its sandwich menu and ice cream fountain items, but they offer a full variety menu. Seating in booths or tables for about 100. Our server, Jessica,was excellent. Her friendliness was genuine and she provided top service.
Dishes Tried:
Grilled chicken breast
Ordered grilled chicken breast dinner, accompanied by two sides: baked potato and applesauce.
Chilled applesauce came first, with potato dinner roll and beverage. Then came the main meal: two fillets of hot, juicy chicken breast and piping hot baked potato.
Beverage refills provided without having to ask.
Food quality and service greatly improved since my last visit.
Best Breakfast in Butler!!!
The Valley Dairy in Butler has added shredded hash browns to their menu and they are GREAT! Their bacon is also the best served all around! This restaurant is now the ONLY one my family visits for breakfast! This place is normally packed and I can understand why – the food is really, really good and the wait staff are fast and very friendly. My other favorites are the Shredded Pot Roast Dinner, the Cobb Salad, Turkey Club Sandwich and my husband loves the Wings!!!! We visit there about 3-4 times a week!!!! Their menu just gets better and better!!!
Dishes Tried:
Shredded Pot Roast Dinner
Just like home-made! Mashed potatoes actually have flavor and texture. The Pot Roast is moist and well seasoned.

Hmm, kind of embarassed to admit this.
But we were young. He was my college roommate's friend from high school... he didn't attend our college, but I met him while hanging out with her in her town one day.
Actually, when we FIRST met, we had picked him up at a bar to hang out. He was completely wasted and I thought he was the most obnoxious person I had ever met, and I hated him. I didn't even want to talk to him. And I didn't, for weeks.
But we had a lot of mutual friends (through my roommate). We eventually got to know each other and I gave him a second chance. The rest is history!
ETA: And you wanna know the weird part?? We actually first bonded over him getting over his ex-girlfriend of 5 years. Like, they had almost gotten married. And you wanna know the SUPER weird part?? The ex-girlfriend and I actually met a few years later, and became very good friends! BEFORE we realized that she was the same girl who had been with DH! Very awkward at first, but now, the three (well four, if you count her DF) of us are very close friends. Our DD's are only two months apart and they are going to grow up as sisters!
LOL, talk about a small world!
We met on an airplane. We were flying back from Christmas holidays in different parts of the country. I remember him walking on the plane and thinking "I hope he sits next to me", even though he really didn't look his best and was wearing a leather coat (I kind of have an odd hate of leather). He sat next to me and didn't say a word, even when I tried to initiate conversation. When we finally got home he raced off the plane ahead of me to go for a smoke. I wanted to go to but felt stupid that it would be like I was chasing him. Anyway, ended up going out and we started chatting. It was my birthday that weekend so I invited him to come. He took my number and the rest is history! I love our story....love definately found us in an unlikely place : )

I grew up in Lexington, MA, which may explain in part my interest in colonial history. I retired a few years ago after 20 years as a computer programmer. I generally photograph colonial cemeteries or at least the oldest sections of them. I studied early New England history in the 90s. My cousins got me interested in genealogy a few years back. I've always loved photography.

I saw the page you made for John A. Tufts. I am wondering if you are related to that family?
I was looking at old family bibles on EBay and saw one with record of John Tufts marriage in it and others in that family tree.
Then I went looking for someone who might be related in case they would be interested in this priceless old family bible.

Pipes, not sand, seen as best way to block oil
Published: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 at 11:33 a.m.
HOUMA — Terrebonne Parish officials are backing a home-grown invention designed to block oil from local marshes.
It involves building a barricade made of floating pipes that would be anchored between barrier islands off Terrebonne's coast.
The Terrebonne Parish Council unanimously agreed Monday to support the so-called Rigid Pipe Boom plan, devised by local businessman Chet Morrison and engineering-firm president Kenny Smith. The council is asking BP for the $100 million it would cost to build it.
Specially fabricated 30-inch pipes would be anchored to piles driven in island passes from Raccoon Island to Port Fourchon. The men likened the pipes, which are being created and tested at Morrison's facilities, to the pontoons under a house boat.
The booms would be sturdier than the flexible ones currently used, Smith and Morrison said.
"The flexible boom is just not working," said Morrison, chairmen of Chet Morrison Contractors. They break loose in rough seas, allowing oil-contaminated water into sensitive and vulnerable coastal marshes. Conventional boom is best suited for inshore waters where wave action is less likely to allow oily water to splash over or around the barriers, he said.
The two men said they submitted their idea to BP and the federal government but they wanted Terrebonne government's support to give it additional validity and weight. They said similar products are already being used in Alabama and Florida.
The parish plans to submit the rigid-boom idea to BP as a Terrebonne project, said Parish President Michel Claudet.
He said the idea is among several his office has fielded in recent weeks.
"This is one that made sense," Claudet said.
Sand berms are being built along the barrier islands off parts of the Louisiana coast to keep encroaching oil out of inland marshes and bays. That work will cost an estimated $360 million to be paid by BP.
The work won't be done off Terrebonne's coast, officials have said, because the passes are too deep and the berms would require too much maintenance.
Other methods to narrow passes, such are barges and rocks, were considered but would cost too much or take too long, Smith said.
Barges can be quickly moved into place, but could prove a liability if they break loose during a storm. Rocks are porous and would absorb oil.
Morrison and Smith's booms would rise and fall with tides and require little maintenance, they said.
Underwater skirts can be attached and absorbent booms could be added for an extra layer of protection, Morrison said.
The pipes would have one opening to allow boat traffic through.
The boom would be placed in a V-shape to funnel oil to that opening, where a skimmer would be positioned to collect the oil.
No scientific tests have been done on the pipe-boom plans, and Councilman Johnny Pizzolatto questioned whether the pipes would roll and allow oil past. Counterweights could help keep that from happening, Morrison said.
If a hurricane comes, the pipes could be flooded with water and pushed to the ocean floor so they don't pose a threat, the men said.
Morrison and Smith said 10 miles can be laid in less than three weeks. They ultimately hope to cover 24 miles of passes and 26 miles of islands. Pipe booms in passes would cost an estimated $36 million to $40 million, they said.
But the council decided to ask BP for protection along the entire island chain. The pipe-booms could supplement other protection measures, such as putting additional sand on barrier islands, council members said.

So it's only right that we begin with a look at the colorful imagery released by Disney in anticipation of the film. From bus shelter posters to character one-sheets to shots from within and behind the scenes of the film, we've assembled all the available shots from in and around this exciting new movie in a feature we call The Ultimate 'Muppets' Photo Gallery.

I have a view model sent to the edit action of my controller. The ViewModel contains references to EntityObjects. (yea i'm fine with it and don't need to want to duplicate all the entities properties in the viewmodel).
I instantiate the view model and then call UpdateModel. I get an error that a property is "null" which is fine since it is a related model. I am trying to exclude the property from being bound during model binding. On debugging it I see in the entity where the model binder is trying to set the value of the property to null.
Here is my edit action:
var model = new SimplifiedCompanyViewModel(id);
var excludeProperties = new string[] {
UpdateModel<SimplifiedCompanyViewModel>(model, String.Empty, null, excludeProperties);
if (ModelState.IsValid)

I have looked at a few other issues about specifying a "prefix" but I don't think that is the issue since I am telling it to bind to the viewmodel instance not just the entity object.
Am I excluding the properties correctly? Strange thing is is only seems to happen on this item. I suspect it may be an issue with the fact that there is actually no refund bank related to my entity. But I have other related items that don't exist and don't see the same issue.
More info... since I'm told me model isn't designed well.
The Company is related to a BankAccount. The Company view shows the currently related BankAccount.BankAccountId and there is a hidden field with the BankAccount.Key. I use jQueryUI autocomplete feature to provide a dropdown of bank account displaying the BankAccount.BankAccountId and when one is selected the jQuery code changes the hidden field to have the correct Key value. So, when this is posted I don't want the current bankaccounts BankAccountID modified, hence I want it to skip binding that field.
If I exclude BankAccountId in the model then on the BankAccount edit view the user would never be able to change the BankAccountId since it won't be bound. I'm not sure how this indicates a poor model design.

The Middle East Journal
Volume 68, Number 1, Winter 2014
pp. 177-178
Markus Dressler's work is absolutely brilliant in its critical and elaborate reading of the ways in which the Alevi identity in Turkey has been historically and politically constructed. The main premise of Writing Religion is that the Alevi Question in Turkey is historically related to the formation of secular Turkish nationalism. He basically questions the assumption that Alevis are mainly ethnically Turkish, and that they are syncretic in their belief system. He argues that such assumptions are relatively very new, and date back to the early years of Turkish nationalism propagated by first the Committee for Unity and Progress, and then by the Kemalists. Tracing the footsteps of a particular kind of scholarship of the founders of contemporary Turkish nationalism concentrating on the Turkic and Islamic elements of the Alevi-Bektashi belief system, Dressler concludes that Turkish Alevism is nothing but a construct, aiming at the incorporation of a heterogeneous group of people into the newly established Turkish nation from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Dressler elaborately analyzes the texts of Mehmed Fuad Köprülü and tries to convince the reader that not only Köprülü, but also his predecessors such as Ziya Gökalp and Baha Sait; along with Köprülü's students and successors such as Irène Mélikoff, Abdülbaki Gölpınarlı, Ömer Lütfi Barkan, Halil İnalcık, Ahmet Yaşar Ocak, and the others have all contributed to the so-called scientific attempts of aligning the Alevis with the newly emerging Turkish nationalist rhetoric by underlining their Turkish and Islamic elements.
Referring to my own works, I could also confirm that the intellectual efforts underlining the proximity between Alevi-Bektashis and the new Turkish Republic were revitalized in the 1960s. Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın, İsmail Hakkı Baltacıoğlu, Nurettin Artam, Falih Rıfkı Atay, Ahmet Emin Yalman, Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, Hasan Âli Yücel, Fikret Otyam, Doğan Avcıoğlu, Mümtaz Soysal, Kemal Karpat, and Cihad Baban published several works stressing that Alevism is the cultural self-defense of the Turks facing the imposition of Arab traditions through Islam, an imposition which became obvious in the 1950s through the conservative and populist Democratic Party (DP) rule. These intellectuals, who were not of Alevi descent, were convinced that Sunni Islam had become very reactionary (irtica) and violent in the 1950s, taking too much space in the public realm through the erection of numerous mosques, disseminating Arabic scripts all around the country, and an arrogant discourse against Alevis and non-Muslims. The vocalism of the non-Alevi intellectuals with a left-wing orientation was also supported by Alevi intellectuals such as Halil Öztoprak, Cemal Özbey, Sefer Aytekin, Kazım Kızılca, İzzettin Doğan, and Niyazi Düzgün.
The book is also very rich in attempting, by referring to the memoirs of the Christian missionaries in the 19th century, to establish parallels between Christianity and Alevism. Hence, I admire the author for having analyzed both the intellectual and ideological sources of Alevism propagated by the Christian missionaries and Turkish nationalists trying to incorporate the Alevis into their own cultural and religious milieu. However, I should also say a few words about my criticisms on the work. First, the book starts with a misleading introduction concentrating on the "Alevi opening" of the Justice and Development Party in late 2000s. I understand the concern of the writer in contextualizing his book, but the introduction does not really match the body of the book. Second, although the book is entitled Turkish Alevi Islam, it contains a disproportionate amount of material on the Kurdish Alevis as a distinct ethno-cultural-religious group. Third, the author does not inform the reader about the sources of the syncretic nature of the Alevi-Bektashi belief system, but only defines the discourse of syncreticism as an ideological attempt of the Turkish nationalists to incorporate the Alevis into the nation-building process. (One could look into the syncretic nature of the Alevi-Bektashi groups in the Balkans, who have so far generated different syncretic forms of religious and cultural rituals...

This year's Mr. Irrelevant, Northern Illinois University quarterback Chandler Harnish, is slated to come to Orange County in June for a week of festivities.
Mr. Irrelevant is the nickname given to the person picked last in the NFL draft, the idea of former USC player Paul Salata of Newport Beach. As described on his website, irrelevantweek.com, Salata decided in 1976 to salute the last pick – wide receiver Kelvin Kirk from the University of Dayton — by bringing him out to Newport Beach for a week of celebrations.
Now, Mr. Irrelevant XXXVII will be brought out June 24 with stops on the sand in Newport Beach, at the All-Star Lowsman Banquet where he'll receive a "Lowsman Trophy" of a player fumbling a football, at Disneyland and at the Balboa Yacht Club.
Salata announced the last choice over the weekend. He held up an Indianapolis Colts jersey with No. 253 on it at Radio City Music Hall.
Right after the final pick, Salata tweeted: "Thank You for all the support we will see you this June when we welcome Chandler Harnish to @NewportBeach !!"
Harnish himself tweeted: "I may be the happiest Mr. Irrelevant ever!"
"I'm happy to be an Indianapolis Colt because that's been my favorite team all the way through. It's complete elation. It's surreal," he told reporters on a conference call.
"It looks like I have a little vacation, and they tell me I have a parade. I don't know much else about what happens, but I'm excited to find out," he added.
Indianapolis had also opened the draft by taking Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. It was the first time since 1967 that a non-expansion team had the first and last picks.

At first glance, Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) seems a natural choice, since Rubio is Hispanic and Florida is a swing state with 29 electoral votes. However, a poll taken by Public Policy Polling in April found that Rubio actually hurts Romney's chances in Florida. In addition, the GOP base has become skeptical of Rubio's conservative credentials. The same poll found that putting former Florida Governor Jeb Bush on the ticket would help Romney in Florida, but Bush has firmly stated he is not interested in the position. Although he has generally been the favorite Bush of most Republicans, the dynasty has probably run its course. Both former presidents Bush have become associated with big government, and with W. sharing blame for the recession and bailouts, another Bush on the ticket could make it difficult to distinguish Obama's failed fiscal policies from Romney.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is popular with a significant portion of the Republican Party, but he would make the slate an all Northeastern ticket. Some conservatives are skeptical of how conservative the New Jersey Republican really is. He is also a larger than life personality that would likely overshadow Romney.
Tim Pawlenty would be a safe choice; while Republicans do not get excited about him, they do not dislike him either. Condoleeza Rice only endorsed Romney last week, evidence that she is telling the truth when she says she has no interest in being vice president.
Last month, National Journal selected Rob Senator Portman (R-OH) as Romney's most likely VP pick. Although Ohio is a key battleground state with 18 electoral votes, Portman is too unknown to be a realistic choice.
Romney met informally with Rand Paul (R-KY) last week, sparking rumors that he was being considered. However, Paul is too closely associated with his father Ron Paul (R-TX) and his polarizing views on foreign policy. While the junior Paul is not as divisive as his father, he may not be able to escape the negative energy that the senior Paul's supporters have created around him.
The dark horse pick is New Mexico governor Susana Martinez. Last week she came out even more strongly than Romney on illegal immigration, questioning the effectiveness of self-deportation. New Mexico is considered a swing state, and choosing Martinez would put both a minority and a woman on the ticket. Based on the fact she is a relatively new governor, though, she may be considered too similar to Palin.
Romney is a predictably savvy, calculating, political candidate. He will choose a safe running mate for vice president. The conservative base would love to see him pick someone like Rep. Allen West (R-FL), but Allen would be too much of a lightening rod for the liberal media. Romney chose a moderate Republican from Utah, former Governor Mike Leavitt, to head his transition team. Leavitt will most likely urge Romney to go with someone safe, not flashy. My money is on Governor Walker, followed by Rep. Ryan.

Cell-Cycle Progression without an
Intact Microtubule Cytoskeleton
Yumi Uetake
and Greenfield Sluder
Department of Cell Biology
University of Massachusetts Medical School
Worcester, Massachusetts 01605
For mammalian somatic cells, the importance of mi-
crotubule cytoskeleton integrity during interphase
cell-cycle progression is uncertain. The loss, suppres-
sion, or stabilization of the microtubule cytoskeleton
has been widely reported to cause a G1 arrest in a vari-
able, and often high, proportion of cell populations,
suggesting the existence of a ''microtubule damage,''
''microtubule integrity,'' or ''postmitotic'' checkpoint
in G1 or G2 [1–7]. We found that when normal human
cells (hTERT RPE1 and primary fibroblasts) are contin-
uously exposed to nocodazole, they remain in mitosis
for 10–48 hr before they slip out of mitosis and arrest in
G1; this finding is consistent with previous reports [2,
4, 6]. To eliminate the persistent effects of prolonged
mitosis, we isolated anaphase-telophase cells that
were just finishing a mitosis of normal duration, then
we rapidly and completely disassembled microtubules
by chilling the preparations to 0
C for 10 minutes in the
continuous presence of nocodazole or colcemid treat-
ment to ensure that the cells entered G1 without a mi-
crotubule cytoskeleton. Without microtubules, cells
progressed from anaphase to a subsequent mitosis
with essentially normal kinetics. Similar results were
obtained for cells in which the microtubule cytoskele-
ton was partially diminished by lower nocodazole
doses or augmented and stabilized with taxol. Thus,
after a preceding mitosis of normal duration, the integ-
rity of the microtubule cytoskeleton is not subject to
checkpoint surveillance, nor is it required for the nor-
mal human cell to progress through G1 and the re-
mainder of interphase.
Results and Discussion
The mammalian somatic cell in early G1 is sensitive to
a number of intracellular and extracellular stimuli; the in-
tegration of growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting in-
puts determines whether the cell will commit to entering
the cell cycle [8–12]. The integrity of the actin cytoskele-
ton is important to the cell's ability to enter S phase.
Even a slight perturbation of the actin cytoskeleton
with cytochalasin leads to a durable G1 arrest [13–20].
Because the interphase array of microtubules, focused
on the centrosome, is necessary for a variety of impor-
tant cellular processes, its integrity could be necessary
for the cell to progress through G1, as is the case for
the actin cytoskeleton. In this regard, at least 27 studies
(Tables S1–S3 in the Supplemental Data available on-
line) contain data regarding the impact of microtubule
cytoskeleton alteration on G1 progression for a variety
of mammalian cell lines. Almost all report that alterations
of the microtubule cytoskeleton lead to a G1 arrest in
a variable and often high proportion of the cell popula-
tions, particularly for cell lines expected to have an intact
p53 pathway. However, cells within a population typi-
cally respond to microtubule perturbation in a nonuni-
form manner; a variable portion of the cells progress
past G1 in the absence of microtubules. Of note are
three studies that report substantial G1 progression in
p53-normal cells with a partially or completely disas-
sembled microtubule array (Table S1, lines highlighted
in gray). The varied results of these studies prompted
us to directly examine whether and how perturbation
of the microtubule cytoskeleton influences G1 progres-
sion in normal human cells. This issue is of interest be-
cause a number of microtubule-targeting drugs are cur-
rently used as chemotherapeutic agents for human
cancer patients (reviewed in [21, 22]).
We used primary human fibroblasts and hTERT RPE1
cells, which are normal human cells immortalized by the
expression of the reverse-transcriptase subunit of telo-
merase. These cells have an intact p53 pathway, as evi-
denced by cell-cycle arrest, with elevated levels of p21
in response to DNA damage (data not shown). We har-
vested mitotic cells from asynchronous populations by
a gentle shake-off procedure (Figures 1A and 1F) to ob-
tain cells in mitotic stages ranging from prometaphase
to telophase (Figures 1B and 1G). Within 3 min the cells
were exposed to 1.6–3.2 mM nocodazole or 1 mM colce-
mid and then chilled to 0
C. This caused the immediate
and complete disassembly of spindle microtubules (Fig-
ures 1C and S1A). For anaphase-telophase cells, no sta-
ble microtubules were seen in the region between the
separated chromosomes after cold treatment in the
presence of nocodazole (Figures 1C and S1A). This
rapid and persistent disassembly of microtubules was
important because it ensured that the cells did not later
enter G1with a partial but declining microtubule cyto-
skeleton that could, in principle, support some measure
of G1 progression. After 10 min of cold, the population
was plated out on coverslips and warmed to 37
the continued presence of microtubule inhibitor. The
prometaphase cells remained arrested in mitosis be-
cause of the activity of the spindle-assembly checkpoint,
whereas those in anaphase-telophase completed mito-
sis within about 30 min, flattened out, and attached to
the coverslip (Figure 1D). Cleavage failed in roughly 2/
3 of the cases. Approximately 1 hr after the cells were re-
plated, we washed the coverslips to remove the round,
nonadherent prometaphase cells and added BrdU to
the medium. This protocol allowed us to obtain a popu-
lation of initially anaphase-telophase cells that com-
pleted mitosis and later entered G1 in the complete
absence of microtubules. Three hours after shake off
these cells contained no microtubules (Figure 1E),

CSA the new way to pay for Air Force travel

DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz.,
-- The Air Force will be replacing the government travel cards of old with new controlled spend account travel cards from January 2011 through March 2011.
The CSA, provided by Citibank, is designed with more flexibility to better meet the travelers needs and differs from the GTC in many ways.
Before, travelers had to pass a credit check to be issued a GTC.
"If Citibank evaluated the credit history of the DoD member and they did not meet the DoD established criteria, they were not issued a travel card," said 2nd Lt. Rogelio De La Fuente, 355th Comptroller Squadron financial services officer. "They may have been eligible to receive a travel advance, but if they refused a credit history check, they weren't eligible for that either."
The CSA does not require a credit check.
"CSA is better because Air Force members will not be subject to a credit history check or have to self-certify their creditworthiness, so all will be approved," he said.
Not only are CSAs available to everyone but they are better equipped to meet the needs of those traveling.
Another benefit of the CSA is that their credit limits are based on the estimated cost of an approved travel itinerary. This feature is meant to cut down on unauthorized card use, which was a major problem with the GTC.
"I like the CSA because it helps reduce the risk of delinquencies and misuse. I spend approximately 10 hours a week researching delinquencies and contacting squadrons Agency Program Coordinator's (APC) to find out delinquency statuses," said Lieutenant De La Fuente. "With the work load reduction of the GTC, I will be able to focus more on my primary duties."
CSAs also have the added benefit of a Credit Balance Refund, which lets the cardholder use any remaining funds for personal expenses.
"If there are funds remaining on the card after the assignment is complete, cardholders are authorized to use the CSA's remaining funds like you would with a prepaid card," said Lieutenant De La Fuente.
Features such as this would provide funds for Airmen, but the CSA would also financially benefit the government.
With the GTCs, not all the monies used for government travel were charged to travel cards.
"In fiscal year 2009 travel costs amounted to $2.5 billion but only $1.3 billion was charged to the GTC," said Lieutenant De La Fuente. "The difference of $1.2 billion cost the Air Force $10 million in rebates. That rebate money could have been used at the base level for programs that support our Airmen."
All government travel, including temporary duty assignments, permanent changes in station, and deployments, will now be paid for using a CSA. This helps the government keep an accurate account of their government travel expenses.
For additional information, Airmen can visit the 'Virtual Finance' site on the Air Force Portal or on Citibank's CSA website. Both contain useful learning tools, such as the
CSA Checklist
, that Airmen can use to educate themselves on the changes and benefits of the program.
Do not follow the information about this new spend account you will owe. Use the CSA exactly like you used the GSA. Only thing that will be re-embursed are travel to airportticketstravel to new duty station. I got stuck with a 3000. dollar bill because my card was loaded with 11000. You will not get what is left over. Be careful with using this card.

What is it? We recognize that our Soldiers and civilians are vital Army assets whether engaging the enemy, resetting at home station, or visiting family in their hometown. Composite Risk Management (CRM) is the Army's primary risk management process for identifying and controlling risks across the full spectrum of Army missions, functions, operations, and activities.
CRM supplements a focus on the main operation with consideration of other risks to give a complete picture of exposure. There is no separation of tactical or accidental, deployed or garrison, field or work area, on duty or off duty risks—it is risk management 24/7. The enemy, materiel, the environment, and human factors—during a mission or outside of it—all interact. Commanders, leaders, and individual Soldiers and civilians apply CRM through the identification of all hazards then determining and applying appropriate control measures to mitigate those hazards.
What has the Army done? The primary premise of CRM is that it does not matter where or how the loss occurs, the result is the same—decreased combat power or mission effectiveness. The guiding principles of CRM are:
What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the future? While readiness and force preservation remain a commander and leader responsibility, we continue our efforts to create a culture in which everyone, down to the individual, applies CRM. CRM is an enabler of our success and the vehicle we are using to transform our mindset in how we address and mitigate risk. When this approach permeates how our Soldiers and civilian employees think, we have created a cultural change that views the preservation of human capital on a par with Army values. The Army will integrate these concepts into training in our schoolhouses, from initial military training to professional military education programs. In the operational force, the Army Readiness Assessment Program assesses unit safety climate and enables battalion commanders to improve integration of CRM in unit operations and activities.
Why is this important to the Army? CRM links risk management to readiness and shifts our approach from accident-centric to people-centric. The lynchpin of successful CRM is engaged leaders at all echelons—engaged leaders who are actively involved with their formations' activities on and off duty and who work tirelessly to preserve our combat power.

Yea no sh!t , I like the quit game before it ends idea alot. BO1 was better. Only thing missing there was recording how many levels you survived. Alotta people lied about how long they could last and no way to prove it with out actual gameplay. So Dont take that away. I would like to see that Lil Emblem system of yours. How about a nice Turd Pile emblem for glitchers & cheaters. You can even have 4 levels of it. 1. Turd 2. Turd and stink fumes 3. Turd stink & flies 4. Golden turd stink and flies. we're all adults we can handle it..Lol !!!
30,517 Kills
9 Deaths
Played 5 days straight
Still only have a knife
Oh I thought this was a new conversation then saw the dates. Anyway my 2 cents; zombies is above survival, doesn't matter how many times you go down. It is the highest round you survived, that's why I prefer the BO way.
The other stats are nice to see but it really doesn't add any meaningful value to the bo2 rank.
Besides, bo2 rank is individualised. I don't see the point of this either as you can't compare one shottie to the next. I've played with many skulls who are more consistent and reliable than shotties.
I'm sure there are shotties out there who deserve the rank but there are also many who don't. It is the top rank and should represent an elite bunch of players. I would say I'm one of those shotties players. I'm more of a knife player. I just got shotties for grinding it out and improving my game over 6 months.
They should hand shotties to the top 1% of players, skulls the next 14% and the next 35% and so on.
yes please get rid of the emblem status it blows.
I wouldnt mind if they disabled ranks altogether, and just kept it how it was in BO1. Makes it alot more fun.
Why BO3. How about W@W2 ,or the ever coveted CoD: Zombies, or better yet Call of Duty 12.
I don't know/care what someone's rank is, I just play for fun, I always have. I got the shotguns, I like starting it on round 20 anything I can, it's a challenge, I average round 2037, before downing, but that's how much I play. If you play for fun add Xxhunting1xX
sorry not 2037, i meant 20-37
As long as I can't max out rank in less than a week, then it will be an improvement. 10 ranks should be a minimum. Xp based, is time based, and time based is horrible. Horrible players who play a lot can be max rank then, and that defeats the purpose of a ranking system. Bring back lobby leaderboards, and expand them to include all stats, and add stats like knife kills, wonder weapon kills, tactical grenade kills.
Some simple formula would be great. Stats divided by downs divided by rounds.
Take the average of kills to downs, shots to hits, revives to deaths, hits to headshots, perks bought to grenade kills, doors bought to miles traveled, and average round to average downs. Take the average of all these ratios and give ranks by ratio range.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone
You can go to an American-style club, store or restaurant when you're back in the United States, so why visit them while you're in France? Studying abroad is the best time to practice stepping out of your comfort zone and going to the spots where the locals hang out and make some new international friends. But remember, you can't trust everyone, so always have a buddy with you just in case you find yourself in any trouble. (Photo: Matt Dutile/Corbis)
