49 U.S. Code § 44501 - Plans and policy
prev | next
(a) Long Range Plans and Policy Requirements.— The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall make long range plans and policy for the orderly development and use of the navigable airspace, and the orderly development and location of air navigation facilities, that will best meet the needs of, and serve the interests of, civil aeronautics and the national defense, except for needs of the armed forces that are peculiar to air warfare and primarily of military concern.
(b) Airway Capital Investment Plan.— The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall review, revise, and publish a national airways system plan, known as the Airway Capital Investment Plan, before the beginning of each fiscal year. The plan shall set forth—
(1) for a 10-year period, the research, engineering, and development programs and the facilities and equipment that the Administrator considers necessary for a system of airways, air traffic services, and navigation aids that will—
(B) meet the requirements that the Secretary of Defense establishes for the support of the national defense; and
(2) for the first and 2d years of the plan, detailed annual estimates of—
(A) the number, type, location, and cost of acquiring, operating, and maintaining required facilities and services;
(B) the cost of research, engineering, and development required to improve safety, system capacity, and efficiency; and
(3) for the 3d, 4th, and 5th years of the plan, estimates of the total cost of each major program for the 3-year period, and additional major research programs, acquisition of systems and facilities, and changes in personnel levels that may be required to meet long range objectives and that may have significant impact on future funding requirements;
(4) a 10-year investment plan that considers long range objectives that the Administrator considers necessary to—
(A) ensure that safety is given the highest priority in providing for a safe and efficient airway system; and
(c) National Aviation Research Plan.—
(1) The Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration shall prepare and publish annually a national aviation research plan and submit the plan to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Science of the House of Representatives. The plan shall be submitted not later than the date of submission of the President's budget to Congress.
(A) The plan shall describe, for a 5-year period, the research, engineering, and development that the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration considers necessary—
(i) to ensure the continued capacity, safety, and efficiency of aviation in the United States, considering emerging technologies and forecasted needs of civil aeronautics; and
(B) The plan shall—
(i) provide estimates by year of the schedule, cost, and work force levels for each active and planned major research and development project under sections 40119, 44504, 44505, 44507, 44509, 44511–44513, and 44912 of this title, including activities carried out under cooperative agreements with other Federal departments and agencies;
(ii) specify the goals and the priorities for allocation of resources among the major categories of research and development activities, including the rationale for the priorities identified;
(iii) identify the allocation of resources among long-term research, near-term research, and development activities;
(iv) identify the individual research and development projects in each funding category that are described in the annual budget request;
(v) highlight the research and development activities that address specific recommendations of the research advisory committee established under section 44508 of this title, and document the recommendations of the committee that are not accepted, specifying the reasons for nonacceptance; and

The Communications Division handles a high volume of both non-emergency and emergency phone calls 24 hours a day. Any 911 call placed from a landline phone, or from a cell phone within the city limits, is directed to the Communications Center located within the Covina Police Department, including those calls requesting service from the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Police/Fire dispatchers are responsible for keeping track of all activity, officer initiated and radio call, and continuous monitoring of the activity to ensure the safety of officers in the field. Dispatchers also prioritize all incoming calls for service, and dispatch them in order of priority.
Calls for service are prioritized into five categories and dispatched in order of priority. Examples of a priority one call are crimes in progress or just occurred, that require immediate police response. Lower priority calls include report calls, such as thefts, vandalism, and burglaries that are discovered after the crime was completed and suspects are no longer present.
Dispatch is never staffed with less than two dispatchers and rarely staffed with more than two. Dispatchers work as a team, with one primarily responsible for taking calls, while the other is primarily responsible for communicating with officers in the field. There is however quite a bit of overlap of responsibilities, particularly as activity increases, and all dispatchers are trained to perform all dispatch functions.
Dispatchers must multi-task well to be effective. Often they are simultaneously communicating with officers in the field, talking to citizens on the phone, and typing information into the Computer Aided Dispatch System. Should the need arise for you to call into the Covina Police Department, you should understand there is a considerable amount of critical information dispatchers attempt to obtain from callers as quickly as possible, so they can simultaneously relay this information to responding officers. Doing so creates the best chance for us to respond in the manner safest for the community, the officers involved, and creates the best possible chance of apprehending criminal suspects.

And teaches young men useful business skills in the process
News Analysis
By Dwight Hobbes
Contributing Writer
Brotherhood, Inc. of Saint Paul puts into effect an idea whose time, as the saying goes, certainly has come. It's one thing to offer job training to those on society's sidelines, preparing them to get into the mainstream. Laudable as that is, it's another thing altogether to, on top of job readiness, actually provide gainful employment. Better yet, not a stopgap job like hauling boxes around in a stockroom, but something with a potential future to it. Brotherhood, Inc., fashioned along the lines of Homeboy Industries of Los Angeles, takes on young men who've wound up in gangs or otherwise on the wrong side of the criminal justice system, intervening with the opportunity to salvage their lives. They do that by learning retail top to bottom, from maintaining inventory to managing the business to providing thorough, hands-on customer service and product support — and, importantly, working in that field for the program's innovative offshoot, Brotherhood Brew. The product — organic coffee, teas, and hot chocolate — is marketed to businesses, nonprofits, government offices, educational institutions and individuals in the private sector. Continue Reading →

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox has been fined $30,000 and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has been docked $25,000 for verbal abuse of the replacement officials.
They were fined for their actions in last Monday night's loss in Atlanta.
NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson says he is reviewing incidents from Sunday night's New England-Baltimore game involving Patriots coach Bill Belichick and the Ravens' John Harbaugh. Anderson also is looking at actions by Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in their loss to Cincinnati.
Anderson says "there is a longstanding NFL rule prohibiting verbal or physical abuse of game officials."
Belichick grabbed the arm of an official as they were leaving the field after Baltimore kicked a winning field goal at the end of the game.

Comments On Oct 25, 2010:This oil has worked excellent in my Yamaha Rhino. Never has my oil ever stayed so clean for so long. Also recently when I tore the top end down to do a piston and ring the piston skirt was still in spec! This oil has corrosion inhibitors which you need on machines that encounter the occasional mud hole, if you get any moisture either from a breather hose or condensation it will rust the steel parts inside your motor. This oil has ingrediants to prevent the rust. I've never overheated my Rhino with this oil even while allowing it to idle long periods. I highly recommend this oil to any atv owner.

|List of episodes
Simplified list of episodes
"Welcome to the Chum Bucket" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from season two. In this episode, SpongeBob is forced to work at the Chum Bucket.
- SpongeBob SquarePants
- Sheldon J. Plankton
- Eugene H. Krabs
- Squidward Tentacles (cameo)
- Robot SpongeBob
- Karen
It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he's going to play a card game against Plankton. SpongeBob is shocked at this. Mr. Krabs explains that Plankton is the worst card player in Bikini Bottom, and he's been winning every week for the last 15 years. In the morning, he tells SpongeBob that he lost, and Mr. Krabs bet SpongeBob's contract. SpongeBob is then taken to the Chum Bucket and forced to work for Plankton, who commands him to make a Krabby Patty, threatening to remove SpongeBob's brain and put it in a robot if he refuses to do what he's told. However, SpongeBob is unable to work in the Chum Bucket's cold, laboratory-like kitchen and Karen suggests Plankton to show SpongeBob compassion and understanding so that he'll obey him. Plankton goes to great lengths to accommodate SpongeBob's working conditions, eventually converting the Chum Bucket kitchen into an exact replica of the Krusty Krab kitchen. However, SpongeBob is still not satisfied, and demands even more of Plankton, acting like a spoiled brat.
Eventually, Plankton takes out SpongeBob's brain and implants it in the robot as a punishment. However, the robot also refuses to make a Krabby Patty, so Plankton restores SpongeBob back to normal and gives him back to Mr. Krabs, saying that he can't stand him and admitting that cheated in the card game. Mr. Krabs welcomes him back and encourages SpongeBob to return to work. However, SpongeBob still does not want to make a Krabby Patty, but when Mr. Krabs starts becoming angry, he quickly goes back to work.

- This episode is available on DVD on The First 100 Episodes and The Complete 2nd Season.
- "Welcome to the Chum Bucket" was ranked #94 during the Best Day Ever event on November 9–10, 2006.
- The magazine that Robot-SpongeBob is reading has a SpongeBob comic strip in it, featuring SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward.
- This is the first of four to premiere on January 21, making it the first episode of 2002
- The book Plankton reads to SpongeBob is also seen in "Grandma's Kisses". Even though the plots seem to be different. In this episode it was about Sea Elves. In Grandma's Kisses it was about a Sea Leprechaun.
- It is possible that this book contains multiple stories.
- This is the third time Mr. Krabs' arms came off. The first two were in "Hooky" and "Squid's Day Off". They come off again in "Eek! An Urchin".
- The robot chef reappeared in the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie PC game.
- The Chum Bucket set in Lego SpongeBob SquarePants features Robot SpongeBob as well.
- Mr. Krabs' singing voice in this episode is similar to Louis Armstrong.
- There was a deleted scene where Plankton was taking out SpongeBob's brain before he puts SpongeBob's brain into the robot.
- When Plankton gives Mr. Krabs $50 there were 3 dollar bills. That means he gave him two $20 bills and one $10 bill.
- Plankton breaks the fourth wall when he says to the audience "I put the brain in the robot, you know...".
- This episode was the subject of a clue on the episode of Jeopardy! that aired on October 10, 2005, during Back to School Week.
- Things Plankton did to try to get SpongeBob to make a Krabby Patty:
- New shoes
- Grill
- Krusty Krab kitchen replica
- Bathing him
- Ice cream
- Pushing him on a rolling seahorse
- Reading him a book
- Not hitting him
- Rubbing his feet
- Plankton put SpongeBob's brain into Robot SpongeBob's positronic head. If Plankton took out SpongeBob's brain and then put it back in after (he put it back into SpongeBob's head when Robot SpongeBob would not take commands), SpongeBob would have died when the brain was taken out, because once a brain is taken out, it cannot be put back into a head without the person resulting in death.
- This is the second episode to have computerized picture-shaking effects. They occur whenever Plankton moves the grill. The first time to use these effects was "Neptune's Spatula".
- The premise of Robot SpongeBob is similar to the plot of The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror II segment featuring Homer's nightmare. Homer, a lazy worker, is kidnapped by Mr. Burns and Smithers, who put his brain into a robot. The robot ends up being lazy and refusing to work, just like Homer.
- The PlayStation version of SuperSponge shows clips of this episode in the "introducing Mr. Krabs and Plankton" scene. It is unknown how the clips could have gotten in the game because SuperSponge was released about two months before this episode aired.
- Spongebob could'ev just squished plankton quit his job at the chum bucket and get re-hired back at the Krusty Krab.
Cultural References
- At the beginning of the episode, right when Plankton appears, there's a bottle cap laying on the ground. The logo on this bottle cap is a variation of the Pepsi logo emblem.
- Mr. Krabs' and SpongeBob's duet is almost certainly a parody of the popular show tune, "A House Is Not A Home."
- When Plankton gives Mr. Krabs $50 to take away SpongeBob, it parodies the O. Henry short story, "The Ransom of Red Chief".
- The story that Plankton reads to SpongeBob about sea elves might be a parody of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."
- When SpongeBob was bathing, his sleeves were shown. This could be an error. This error also occurs in Gary Takes a Bath.
- At the end of the episode, when it shows the Krusty Krab, a "Help Wanted" sign can be seen on the right window.
- Throughout the entire scene where Plankton Moves SpongeBob's grill, there is a light blue border.

Great map.
My only concern is that the grid might be difficult to see, depending what you are planning to use the map for... It's definitivelly a good job. What did you do the map with?
Inspired by this one shot adventure from SJGames forum (http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=92914), I decided to redo the map there and acomodated it to my version of the adventure.
The background is mostly on the adventure that I linked.
I am doing adaptations but the layout is the same. Is the tomb of an "barbarian" king that wrecked havoc some centuries ago. His source of power comes from a "demon prince" by the Mirror of the Fire Demon (object of my previous adventure). Crevan was only killed after be betrayed by his loved one and was attack fom behind by a poisonspear (the one on the right sealed chamber).
The dead bodyes are from previous adventures and a pair of "holy knights". What killed them? The damaging psionic waves from a skull hidden on the chamber on left (in the case of the rusted skeletons), poison from mushrons (the archer), and undead servitors (draugrs) friom the sealed chamber.
Here is version 1.2.

Thank you. It is not the final version. I am still seeing what to do with the grid. The map was done using Dungeon Designer, an add on of Campaing Cartographer 3 from ProFantasy. I also used some symbols from this forum, Dungini and CASUAC.
Nice easy to use battle map. I would like to see it without any grid for ease of use in a VTT.
I think the stairs down in the tower might a little something to show a bit better the start and end easier, perhaps a touch of shading? Not sure.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
Thank you for your words. I appreciated that you is liking the map. I will post the final version with and without the grid.
About the stairs I tryed something in the version 1.3. It is finishing to render.
EDIT: Actually I already have a 1.4 version but 1.3 is still rendering... I had input the wrong resolution and it is taking ages =).

Version 1.4 is here. It is the final version in my opinon. The 1.5 would see the light only to correct errors (if there is any), maybe change effects a bit and to include suggestions.
Final Rest of Crevan Brokenhand
1 - Stairway Entry
2 - Access Corridor
3 - Antechamber
4 - Main Chamber
5 - Huscarlr's Rest
6 - Temple
7 - Crevan's Tribute
8 - Crevan's Cript
9 - Secret Chamber

Hey that turned out great Mateus! Excellent work. You don't see too many hex grid dungeon maps, but I've always like the hex grid system better than the traditional square grid.
Nice map. I prefer square grids for dungeons myself, but hey, it's whatever you're used to.
Have you tried exporting the map to PS or GIMP, creating your grid as a pattern, then creating a new pattern fill layer using the grid with a multiply blend mode, inverting it and painting it on only the room floors? You can mess about with the opacity and stuff to achieve the level of visibility you want if you use this method. Great 'trick' I picked up from Butch Curry's Fantasy Cartography tutorials.
Glory is the reward of valour.

- New hitting coach Dante Bichette wants Rockies to rock Coors Field
- Nov 13:
- Jason Giambi felt timing wasn't right for Rockies' hitting position
- Dante Bichette named new Rockies hitting instructor
- Nov 10:
- Rockies zero in on hiring hitting coach: Bichette, Giambi on list
- Nov 8:
- Jason Giambi mulling offer to be Rockies' hitting coach
The Rockies have finished reshaping the coaching staff that will serve under new manager Walt Weiss.
The club announced Thursday that Jim Wright is the new pitching coach, Rene Lachemann becomes the first-base coach and Stu Cole takes over as the third-base coach.
Jerry Weinstein will return as the catching coach and also will be the defensive-positioning coach. Former first-base coach Glenallen Hill likely will be reassigned to another job in the organization.
Wright's promotion from bullpen coach to the man in charge of the starting rotation will be key to the team's chances of success in 2013. He inherits a young starting rotation that went 29-68 with a 5.81 ERA in 2012.
"I think communication is one of Jimmy's strength," Weiss said Thursday afternoon. "I think that's important because pitching, as we all know, is a challenge at our place. It will be important for us to communicate how to attack hitters."
Wright, 57, previously was the club's big-league pitching coach in 2002. That rotation went 55-59 with a 5.24 ERA.
Tuesday, Dante Bichette was hired as the hitting instructor. Weiss announced last Friday that he would bring back Tom Runnells as his bench coach. Runnells was one of the four finalists for the Rockies' managerial job.
Weiss purposely surrounded himself with former managers. Lachemann, the hitting coach at Triple-A Colorado Springs for the past five seasons, was Weiss' manager in 1994 when Weiss played for the Florida Marlins. Lachemann has extensive experience as a big-league boss, leading the Seattle Mariners (1981-83), Milwaukee Brewers (1984) and Marlins (1993-96).
Cole has spent the past 12 seasons as a manager in the Rockies organization, working his way up to manager at Colorado Springs from 2009-12.
Runnells managed the Montreal Expos from 1991-92 and managed in the Rockies' organization for six seasons (2004-05 at Double-A Tulsa and 2006-09 at Colorado Springs).
"One of the biggest factors in these hires was to surround myself with managers," Weiss said. "I've never managed before, so I don't have that experience. But these guys do. I can lean on them. I can trust them. That was a big part of the reason why they are on my staff."
Wright will be assisted by Bo McLaughlin, who was the head pitching coach for much of last season after replacing Bob Apodaca in June. McLaughlin will be in charge of the bullpen in 2013.

Smart Choices, Less Traffic
The 50 Best and Worst Transportation Projects In the United States
View Smart Choices, Less Traffic: The 50 Best and Worst Transportation Projects in the United States in a larger map
Each year, America invests more than $200 billion in federal, state, and local tax dollars on transportation infrastructure—bridges and highways, aviation and waterways, public transit and sidewalks.1 But too often transportation projects undermine the higher national goals of reducing oil consumption, increasing safety, improving public health, and saving local, state or federal government—and citizens— money.
Americans are struggling with the health, climate, and economic costs of our oilcentered
transportation system. While new standards that double fuel efficiency of
new vehicles to 54.5 mpg by 2025 and cut carbon emissions in half are essential to
reducing our dependence on oil and its many consequences, our transportation
investments should provide an opportunity to further reduce our dependence on oil,
reverse climate disruption, and save money. Because transportation infrastructure
lasts for decades, the impacts of transportation investments are felt for many years
to come, with huge consequences for America's ability to move beyond oil.

The black salamander (黒山椒魚, Kuro Sanshōuo) was a creature native to Amegakure that was famous for the deadly poison its body produced. After its death, Hanzō during his childhood, had its venom sac implanted into his body, thus granting him the ability to create the same poison, as well as allowing him to develop a resistance to this particular poison. Due to the consequence that even by breathing he would release the toxin, Hanzō quickly became feared as Hanzō of the Salamander (山椒魚の半蔵, Sanshōuo no Hanzō).[1]
- In the anime, the salamander was depicted as being brown, not black.[2]

The Dead Dodo is the full-winged NPC Dodo that flies high above the ground in Grand Theft Auto III, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
It also appears in the handling file of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In GTA Vice City it can be seen with a banner attached to the tail. The banner differs in the PS2 version and the Xbox and PC versions. In the PS2 version the banner will have the generic newspaper with the SWAT team headline, while in the other two the Zombie Elvis Found! paper can be seen. The Dead Dodo is essentially an unobtainable version of the regular Dodo. It has a slightly darker skin texture in contrast to its controllable counterpart, along with flashing white and red strobe lights. Shooting the plane down can result in a three-star wanted level, but can escalate into a four-star wanted level upon explosion. The plane is in no way solid, so if the player somehow manages to reach it's set height, they will just phase right through it. This remains the same in the missions. It is only solid to weapons. Despite it being unobtainable, it can be set on fire. Spawning through third-party trainers, such as the garage editor will crash the game upon appearing as it is a vehicle that relies only on a path.
Flight DAT Files
|DAT Files
|Deaddodo (S.A.M.)
|DeadDodo (A Drop in the Ocean)
Mission Appearance
The vehicle was used in two of GTA III's missions.
S.A.M. - Where it was to be destroyed so the cargo could be collected.
A Drop In The Ocean - Where it must be followed to capture cargo that it is dropping.
Technical Handling
Mass: 25500 (as with most unobtainable vehicles)
Top speed: 140.0 knots
Acceleration: 24.0 knots
Braking rate: 10.00 knots
- The DeadDodo shares the same in-game name with the normal Dodo.
- Even with the use of the destroy all cars cheat, it does not affect the plane.
- It is possible to spawn the plane in Vice City without crashing the game by opening the default.ide file, finding the DeadDodo's line, switching its ID number with another vehicle and changing its type from "plane" to "boat". However, it cannot be controlled when entered.
- In GTA Vice City if you are to destroy the plane the banner it was pulling will just slowly descend towards the ground going directly downwards.
- The message on the banners in Vice City is 'Zombie Elvis Found' and uses the exact same picture as the GTA III newspapers.

Ghost Army
this wiki
|Ghost Army
|Ghost Army (幽霊軍, Yūreigun)
|Naruto: Shippūden the Movie
|Appears in
|Team Info
The Ghost Army (幽霊軍, Yūreigun) was a brigade of moving stone soldiers that served the demon Mōryō. Being made of stone and seemingly to move on a ghostly will, they are invulnerable to conventional weapons and are difficult to stop.
In the past, a clan of shinobi made a pact with the demon and tried to use his army to destroy the world and to create a Thousand Year Kingdom (千年王国, Sennen Ōkoku). However, when the priestess Miroku sealed Mōryō away, the army was encased in stone within the shrine that their leader's soul was sealed, in the Land of Demons.
Plot Overview
When Yomi, a descendant of the shinobi clan, came to free Mōryō, he also released the Ghost Army. Yomi gained command of the army by acting as Mōryō's avatar, and ordered them to advance to the Land of Swamps to retrieve the demon's body. They trampled several villages and strongholds on their way to the Land of Swamps, but were ultimately defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Shikamaru Nara, Might Guy, and Temari.
The Ghost Army is seemingly based on the Terracotta Army, stone soldiers, numbering over 8000, buried with the tyrannical Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang who desired an army to guard him, as well as having servants to rule over, in the afterlife. The fact that Mōryō is a demon sealed away with his "Ghost" army in the cavern that Yomi claimed to be of the other world further makes this connection.

Without a doubt, UC Davis research has been instrumental in transforming California into one of the world's major producers of premium wine. California now has more than 500,000 acres of winegrapes and 3,750 wineries that produce more than 90 percent of the nation's wine. The economic impact of the California wine industry is over $45 billion per year.
The quintessential Wine Aroma Wheel, used for wine sensory evaluation by professionals and consumers, was developed at UC Davis, along with cool fermentation methods for white wine, sterile filtration procedures, and methods to manage devastating pests. such as phylloxera and glassy-winged sharpshooter.
Research is now focused on working with winemakers to produce wine sustainably (using substantially less water and energy), and to identify the antioxidant health components of wine.

eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-3 oil(s)
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found in abundance in fish oils such as cod liver oil and haddock oil.
EPA has been clearly demonstrated to modify lipid metabolism and reduce harmful levels of lipids in the bloodstream and their associated damage to the lining of the blood vessels. In addition, EPA has been shown to reduce overproduction of cells that line the blood vessels (endothelial lining). Proliferation of the endothelial lining appears to be a first step in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
EPA has also been used to treat several severe respiratory disorders including adult respiratory distress syndrome and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the use of EPA is not a standard treatment for these diseases.
Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies.
Fish oil is also claimed to possibly play a role in cancer and heart-attack prevention. It may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and Raynaud's phenomenon.
EPA has also been suggested to play a role in depression, menopausal symptoms, psoriasis, and personality disorder.
There is no RDA (recommended dietary amount) for EPA. Typically, daily dosages of 3 to 9 g of fish oil are suggested. Rather than taking a recommended amount of EPA, the level of fatty acids in the diet should be minimized. This can be accomplished by consuming increased amounts of fish or marine animals, or by taking fish oil supplements. Fish oil is high in EPA.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a physician before taking any dietary supplements.
There are no known side effects associated with EPA.
There are no significant adverse food or drug interactions. The use of EPA in conjunction with other lipid-lowering drugs may be beneficial in preventing heart disease.

Monday, July 14, 2014
Washington ,DC (WRDW) - A senior defense official says Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant who spent nearly five years as a Taliban captive in Afghanistan, has been returned to regular Army duty.
As of Monday he is assigned to U.S. Army North at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston in Texas. That is the same location where he has been decompressing from the effects of his lengthy captivity.
His exact duties were not immediately disclosed.
The Army was expected to officially announce the Bergdahl move Monday. A senior defense official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to provide details about the decision on the record before the announcement.
Bergdahl was released from captivity on May 31 in exchange for five top Taliban commanders imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay.

DeWalt launches brushless-motor impact driver and other tools
Stressing its commitment to innovation and system expansion, DeWalt announced this week the launch of more than a dozen cordless and corded tools as well as some accessories. Topping the list is a new impact driver in the 20-Volt Max line, but this one sports DeWalt's first brushless motor. It will be on the market in April, selling for $279 with 1.5-amp-hour battery packs and $349 for 3-Ah packs.
This new impact driver comes out less than a year after DeWalt debuted the 20V Max line—which included an impact driver and several drill/drivers—featuring standard carbon-brush motors. The brushless motor powers the tool more efficiently, creating less heat and friction, and resulting in a 57% increase in battery run time compared to the 20V Max driver with carbon-brush motor. With a brushless motor, energy is transferred from the armature to the drive train electronically, whereas with the other system that energy transfers through the brushes by rubbing directly on the armature.

System Earth
Ever since its emergence, the Earth has constantly been changing. Life-forms have to adapt, while at the same time they influence the Earth's systems themselves. The result is a highly dynamic planet, on which the living and non-living world is closely interconnected. These complex relations are shown through some examples here.

Highway Patrol Trooper Everette Deans says 45 year old Tony Carmon of Shaman Court in Winterville drowned after he lost control of his pickup on a wet road in Ayden and ended up upside down in a canal. No other vehicles were involved.
Highway Patrol and EMS responded to an overturned 1992 Ford pickup Tuesday night at 5:44p.m. off Highway 102 near Rountree Road. Trooper Deans says Carmon lost control, hit a sign and a ditch, and then overturned into water in a canal.
Trooper Deans says Carmon was wearing his seatbelt and died from drowning when he could not escape the truck which was submerged in water that came up past the driver's side window.

Ladies Half Price is a mission in GTA IV DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given by Gay Tony to Luis Fernando Lopez. It first appeared in GTA IV, played through Niko Bellic's point of view, in Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
Old Man Ancelotti has ordered Gay Tony and Luis to get back his daughter, or he'll have them both killed. Luis dislikes the idea, but Tony has arranged a meet with the kidnappers of Gracie, to give them the diamonds for her safe return.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in Tony's car
- Go to Pier 45
- Go to the Charge Island Sewage Works
- Shake the gang member off the boat
- Go back to Pier 45
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in 3:35
Shake off the Russian mobster in seven seconds
WalkthroughThis mission is incredibly easy, with most of the important parts within the cutscenes rather than the actual gameplay. The opening cut-scene focuses primarily around Luis & Brucie. Brucie queue's up at the entrance of Maisonette 9. Since Brucie and Roman cannot enter the nightclub because they're not on the list, Dessie doesn't allow them to enter. Luis appears, and allows them to enter. Once the opening cutscene ends, get into Tony's Schafter and drive to the back of Pier 45. There, get into the waiting boat and head over to the pink marker at the Charge Island Waste Management center. Once you float into the pink marker, another cutscene plays.
Luis and Tony meet up with kidnappers, along with a bound-and-gagged Gracie. That's right, it's Niko and Packie. The scene follows out exactly the way it does in Grand Theft Auto IV; after a few tense moments, Tony drops the diamonds in between them and Niko, in which Packie allows Gracie to walk over to Tony. As Luis, Tony, and Gracie turn to leave, Ray Bulgarin and his men show up to take back the diamonds he feels was rightfully his. As Niko and Packie turn to fight them, Luis, Tony, and Gracie run for the boat. Luis shoots one goon who goes after them, but one manages to hop on the back of the boat as they make their getaway.
Back in control, you must shake the goon off the back of the boat by violently shaking the boat left and right until he lets go. Once he's off, Gracie will order Luis to go back and kill Niko and Packie, to which Luis refuses. As Gracie begins to shout at and harass Luis, he then punches her out cold. Head back to the pier to finish the mission.
Video Walkthrough
- This mission appears as Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend from Niko's point of view.
- Like all of Niko's appearances in both DLC's, his hair appears to be much darker than it is in the main game.
- Various characters appear in this mission. Roman and Brucie are seen entering the Maisonette 9. Niko and Packie are seen in Charge Island with Gracie, and Ray shows up with his men interrupting the deal.
- If Luis approaches Packie and Niko or kills them or Gracie before the deal, the deal is off and the mission will fail.
- If Luis stops the boat with the goon holding on, the goon will climb on to the boat and shoot Gracie, failing the mission.
- Tony has his TBoGT voice during this mission and before he and Luis head to Charge Island, but during the deal with Niko and Packie, Tony has his voice from GTA IV.
- Bulgarin's interruption was not explained during GTA IV, but it was made clear that a rough outline of Luis' story and his working with Bulgarin was planned from the start. In GTA IV, Bulgarin mentions how "the faggot and his Dominican bitch" referring to Gay Tony and Luis respectively, stole his diamonds. Bulgarin would have found out that Luis and Niko (both of them his enemies) were meeting, and took the opportunity to try and kill them both in the same place.
- After shaking the goon hanging on the back of the boat, it is possible to go back and kill or injure Niko and Packie, without failing the mission. However, they both have a colossal amount of health and will attack Luis in return. After Bulgarin's men are down, neither Niko or Packie continue forward (although they are supposed to retrieve the diamonds from Bulgarin's men), but will instead attack the police. Going back to the scene is not canon.
- Like in the original GTA IV, Packie uses an Assault Rifle in this mission, while Niko uses a Carbine Rifle.
- Niko cannot be heard using his taunts during this mission, but Packie will occasionally say things.
- For some reason, Bulgarin appears to be driving a different, white colored car in this mission, he drove a black/brown Marbelle in the original cutscene.
- If you are killed by Niko, you can sometimes see him pull out his cellphone and make a call, wait a few seconds, and hang up. No voices can be heard. This may possibly be a double mission fail easter egg, but it is more likely a small glitch.
- In GTA IV Niko and Packie drive a dark green LX2007 Vincent, while in this mission it appears to be colored black. If you go back to the scene, the car will sometimes explode, sending Niko (who was using it as cover) flying. However, he won't die due to his large amount of health.
- Even if you go back and kill Niko and Packie, Gracie will still complain about you not killing them. This is obviously because killing Niko and Packie is neither canon or intended.
- An easier way to shake the Mafia member off the boat is to stop the boat, press the exit vehicle button, and shoot the Mafia member. He will fall off and you can continue the mission with no penalty.
- This is currently the last time Luis and Niko have crossed paths.
- Another easy way to shake the Mafia member quickly is to reverse, causing him to fall off instantly.
- After this mission, Rocco will call you and the penultimate mission Party's Over is unlocked.
- This is the only crossover mission in the GTA IV era, along with Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, not to involve Johnny Klebitz.
- If you get off the boat before you get to the marker and swim to Charge Island, you will hear Packie say "Fuck off!", "People!" and more, and Niko will say "Not fucking funny!", "C'mon, you assholes!" etc. If you shoot Niko or Packie they will not fight back.
- An easy way to kill Niko or Packie is to use the Automatic Shotgun with Explosive Shells. They will die after about 20 shots.

It's Hyperdimension Neptunia week, but apparently all anybody cares about is Marvel vs. Capcom 3's imminent arrival. So here's a bunch of ladies dressed up as Morrigan Aensland. This is probably the sexiest gallery I've ever posted, because Morrigan has this friend named Lilith, see, and lady cosplayers like to pair up as those two and grope each other, and I swear nobody's complaining about this so don't get the idea that I think it's inappropriate. No, it's definitely appropriate.
I also like that Morrigan is a popular choice for some of the not-terribly-thin members of the cosplaying community, and I think it works really well. The only dark spots in this gallery are the guy I slipped in there and the lady who looks like Eminem. Enjoy!

- Broncos' Peyton Manning beats fear factor in his return to NFL
- Mar 21:
- Tim Tebow's career with Broncos nearly over, as John Elway goes with Manning
- Manning has "lot of work to do" on neck, but Broncos know
- Kiszla: John Elway heartbroken at dumping Tim Tebow, calling the QB "a great kid"
- Peyton Manning "honored" to wear Frank Tripucka's No. 18
- Denver Broncos' first pitch to Peyton Manning a home run
- John Elway, Peyton Manning share a familiar drive
When it came down to his Decision, Peyton Manning "wanted someone to tell me what to do."
But, he told The Denver Post on Tuesday afternoon, "nobody would."
I asked Peyton if he had leaned on older brother Cooper — who had been his guiding light when they were kids — for advice.
Once, when dad Archie was playing for the then-pitiful Saints, the two wore "Ain'ts" paper bags over their heads. "That was Cooper. I was only 4," said Peyton, who once had a poster of Broncos linebacker Randy Gradishar on his bedroom wall.
Cooper had been an all-state receiver (catching passes from Peyton) who had to give up a football scholarship to Mississippi because, at 18, he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis.
Did Archie, a Southern college football icon who played 11 seasons in the NFL (and was forced to move to new teams twice), offer any help? Or Peyton's mother, Olivia, the matriarch of the Manning quarterbacks and former Ole Miss homecoming queen? Or Peyton's wife, Ashley, who was introduced to Peyton in her hometown of Memphis, Tenn., the summer before Peyton's freshman year in college?
How about Eli, who last month won his second Super Bowl? Or Tom Condon, Peyton's longtime agent? "I didn't talk to him for four days."
The answer was no. None of them would, or could, make the choice for Peyton. Just as when he alone finally decided to play football at the University of Tennessee, he had to decide where he wanted to finish his NFL career.
"I slept on it Sunday night," he said, "and I woke up Monday and started making calls."
Unlike Manning, Broncos boss John Elway, according to his wife, Paige, didn't sleep Sunday night. Early Monday, he was in his office at Dove Valley conferring with coach John Fox when the call came from Manning. John said Peyton told him it had been a "rough morning" calling teams to say he was going in another direction. "I didn't know if we were one of those calls," Elway said.
Manning's Decision was: the Denver Broncos. Elway turned to Fox and gave a "thumbs up" sign.
Manning told The Post the best two football decisions he made in his life were to go to Tennessee and to stay for his senior season with the Volunteers, even though he already had graduated.
"I didn't have the choice with the (Indianapolis) Colts. They drafted me." Elway, too, was drafted No. 1 overall by the (Baltimore) Colts 15 years earlier, but refused to play for them and was traded to the Broncos. Manning said that when he threw an interception in the first game of his final collegiate season, "I wondered if I made a mistake not turning pro."
But, as he said Tuesday, "I never look back."
Peyton will do everything he can, he said, to make the Broncos one of his three best football decisions ever. He told me he will retire as a Broncos quarterback. Can he win a second Super Bowl as his brother and Elway did? "Why not four?" he said, and laughed.
So, why, ultimately, did Manning make his Decision to join the Broncos? Nothing specific. He kept using the word "comfortable."
Peyton was comfortable with Elway, Fox and owner Pat Bowlen. He was comfortable after visiting the Broncos first. "I knew Denver. I've been to Denver." He spent a week with Todd Helton, his close friend and predecessor at quarterback with Tennessee, and worked out with the Rockies (and took batting practice) during the NFL lockout.
He is comfortable with offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and quarterbacks coach Adam Gase, new strength and conditioning coach Luke Richesson and old trainer Steve Antonopulos. He is comfortable with the Broncos' loyalists and the direction the Broncos are taking. He is comfortable with the receivers, the other players and the personnel selections the Broncos will make. "I'm here to play quarterback," he said.
Full disclosure: As a sportswriter, this is the sixth decade in which I've covered the Manning family and their football games. They are the classiest of acts to follow. Peyton and I both went to school at Tennessee (many years apart). We had lunch in the UT cafeteria before his junior season, and I took my daughter once to watch him play in Knoxville.
As Manning approached in the Dove Valley headquarters hallway — carrying his folded new Broncos orange jersey and cap on his arm, he said, "Go Big Orange" (the Tennessee chant).
I said, "Now you're with a new Big Orange."
Peyton, by himself, had made his right Decision.

The Oldham County History Center presents "Voice of the Fugitive," beginning May 29 at Actors Theatre in Louisville.

It's no surprise that luxury and performance cars can throw a gut punch to your finances when it comes to insurance expense. These models often have the sort of horsepower that encourages bad choices, and to top it off, they're usually expensive to repair; put these two factors together and it's easy to see why insurance companies strap them with hefty premiums. But which of these models are most expensive to insure?
The answer is found in the 10 cars listed below; these are the sedans with the highest insurance expense for 2010. Our rankings are based on five-year projections generated by the Edmunds data team. Each model's ranking reflects that of the trim level that's most expensive to insure.

Seminole County Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Cannaday said in a statement that deputies responding last Wednesday afternoon to the wreck in Sanford—the Orlando suburb where Martin was shot—found Zimmerman and another man had already helped a couple and their two children out of a flipped SUV off the road near Interstate 4. They were not hurt.
Zimmerman spoke with a deputy at the scene and then left, the sheriff's office statement said. He did not see the crash happen.
This is believed to be the first time Zimmerman, 29, has been seen publicly since his acquittal on a second-degree murder charge in the 17-year-old Martin's death in February 2012. Zimmerman's parents and his attorneys have said in interviews since the verdict that they fear for his safety because of those who may not agree with it.
A message left at the office of Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara was not immediately returned Monday.
Robert Zimmerman, Jr. on Monday posted on his Twitter account about his brother's actions: "George saw a need, he acted. Our parents taught us to help, never to boast. Humility is George's finest trait."
Martin's shooting death spurred debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defense and equal justice.
Six female jurors, whose names have not been released, considered nearly three weeks of often wildly conflicting testimony over who was the aggressor on the rainy night Martin was shot while walking through the gated townhouse community where he was staying and where Zimmerman lived.
The acquittal prompted rallies nationwide in the days afterward calling for a civil rights investigation and federal charges against Zimmerman.
It also led to a sit-in at Florida Gov. Rick Scott's office demanding that legislators repeal the state's stand-your-ground self-defense law. The law, passed in 2005, generally eliminated a person's duty to retreat in the face of a serious physical threat. At least 21 states have a self-defense law similar to Florida's.
