Mice that are homozygous for this knockout allele are viable and fertile, but exhibit sensitivity to cold temperatures. The Donating Investigator notes that homozygous offspring have increased survival rates to weaning age when maintained at 25°C to 28°C. No gene product (mRNA or protein) is detected by Northern or Western blot analysis of brown adipose tissue from homozygotes. When maintained at 20°C, homozygotes are resistant to diet induced obesity with reduced white fat depot weights, exhibit a 0.1-0.3°C higher body temperature, and a slightly lowered respiratory quotient compared to controls. Notably, when maintained at 27°C, homozygous mutant mice are no longer resistant to diet induced obesity and gain weight at a rate similar to wildtype controls. An increase in the number of brown adipocytes in the inguinal fat depots is observed in mutant mice maintained at 20°C, on either diet. Homozygotes have reduced levels of plasma fatty acids, circulating triglyceride levels, and T4 levels. Spleen cell numbers are reduced by approximately 3-fold, CD8 single positive cells are reduced to approximately half and CD4/CD8 double positive cells in both the spleen and thymus are increased in homozygous animals. Homozygotes have no heat production from brown adipose tissue. Mitochondria isolated from the muscles of cold-acclimated homozygotes display an increased total ATP production capacity, a metabolic shift for increased lipid oxidation and reduced carbohydrate catabolism capacity with a corresponding increased serum level of beta-hydroxybuterate, and decreased sensitivity to fatty acids as uncoupling agents. Mitochondria isolated from brown adipose tissue from homozygotes exhibit increased rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production when compared to wildtype controls. The Donating Investigator reports that mice carrying this allele are less cold sensitive on the C57BL/6 genetic background compared to the 129 genetic background.
A targeting vector was used to replace a BamHI/BglII fragment carrying exon 2 and part of exon 3 with the neor gene thereby deleting an essential membrane-spanning domain. The construct was electroporated into 129S2/SvPas derived D3 embryonic stem (ES) cells. Correctly targeted ES cells were injected into recipient blastocysts. The resulting chimeric animals were crossed to 129Sv/ImJ mice, and then backcrossed to 129Sv/ImJ for 25 generations. Upon arrival at The Jackson Laboratory, the mice were crossed to 129S1/SvImJ (Stock No. 002448) at least once to establish the colony.

When maintaining a live colony, these mice can be bred as heterozygotes. Although homozygotes are viable and fertile, they exhibit increased sensitivity to cold temperatures. The Donating Investigator notes that there is better survival of homozygous to weaning age when mice are maintained at 25°C to 28°C.

Temptress Money
In April 1998 China's most acclaimed filmmaker, Chen Kaige, received an unexpected visitor: U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. After an abbreviated screening of Chen's Farewell My Concubine, the director and the politico went for a stroll around the scale-model imperial palace that Chen had commissioned for his latest effort, The Emperor and the Assassin. They spoke of censorship and financing in China. Eventually the conversation turned to America's cultural exports, and Albright and Chen discovered their common ground: They both hated Titanic. While Albright's visit did not evince a shift in Sino-U.S. relations, it was a significant marker both of Chen's stature as a cultural figure--would Jiang Zemin pay Steven Spielberg a friendly visit on the set?--and of the ever-expanding range of the American blockbuster, the grossest of our domestic products.
Stranger still is the fact that, two years later, Chen has come to the U.S. to plug his own brand of Cameronesque excess: a sprawling historical epic, which, with its 200,000 aggregate extras, stuntmen, and horses, is purportedly the most expensive film ever produced in Asia. At the same time, the champion of the "Fifth Generation" of Chinese filmmakers (a group that also includes Raise the Red Lantern's Zhang Yimou and The Blue Kite's Tian Zhuangzhuang) is subtly deflecting rumors that he is defecting to the greener pastures--and paychecks--of Hollywood. "As a director, I don't believe in personal style," Chen explains, skeptically eyeing a lunch menu at the Nicollet Island Inn. "Maybe some people will think that Chen Kaige was influenced by Hollywood movies. In China today, filmmaking is different with the market economy. I have to consider both artistic and commercial value. Otherwise you do a pure art-house movie, and maybe you can't raise any money for your next project."
Raising currency is a relatively novel concern for Chinese filmmakers, who have contended in the past mostly with government censors and foreign imports. In the bad old days, directors were divided between the many, who conformed to party dogma and made unwatchable propaganda films, and the few, who defied conformity to make unwatched dissident films. In 1985, it was Chen who, as a recent graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, introduced the world to Chinese cinema with Yellow Earth, a searing rural tragedy played out in the desolate foothills of Shaanxi Province. As much as Yellow Earth announced the arrival of a new film industry, however, it also marked ground zero for Chen's career. "I wish I could go back to where I was when I was doing Yellow Earth," he says thoughtfully. "But time runs on. Things change. I'm different, too. I really hope that I can do that kind of movie in the future, but I really doubt it. I don't think I can just become who I was a long time ago."
Which raises the question: Who is Chen today? At 48, he cuts a patrician figure (he cast himself to type as a stoic prime minister in The Emperor and the Assassin). On the evidence of his latest film, which scrutinizes China's founding myth through a political yet dispassionate lens, he is a director reconciled to the myriad challenges of making art in a closed society. He is philosophical about the controversy surrounding his films, almost all of which remain banned in his homeland. "This is like a silent agreement with the censors," he explains. "Like what the English say about the elephant in the living room. You never ask why. There's no reason. I don't even bother to ask anymore, because you don't even think you can get an answer.
"This is a very special moment in my career, because I finally told people what I think about the system: where it comes from, how it works in society, [and] what we can do about it in the future," he continues. "I think the Fifth Generation used to be an artistic movement. Where we came from is the Cultural Revolution. [Chen was himself "sent down" for reeducation on a rural plantation.] We share the same life experience, but we have different views of art. Some people are very successful commercially and believe in the market economy, while others continue to ignore the market to do something artistic." He pauses for a moment. "But I feel a little confused, because I'm not a money-maker. I still believe you must consider movies as art. You must relate to the project and have a passion for it."
The director's confusion seems, at some level, to mirror that of a China shifting uneasily between the stasis of a command economy and the capriciousness of the free market. Chen, however, has always managed to maintain something of a dissident spirit, working just off to the side of--and strangely in step with--the cultural moment. After the scorched Yellow Earth, he turned to muted, semiobscurantist allegories such as The Big Parade. Then, anticipating China's emergence onto the world stage, he made two lush period dramas, both of which track the tumultuous sweep of 20th-century Chinese history. With its literary allusiveness, its decidedly exotic evocation of Chinese culture, and its broad operatics, Farewell My Concubine announced Chen as a director with international sensibilities. Even more, the narcotized haze of last year's Temptress Moon seemed an overture to overseas audiences hungry for something foreign, yet not too political. (Surprisingly, the latter was banned in the PRC and heavily edited by Miramax for U.S. release on account of being "too abstract"; the market, too, has its censors.) After a decade of producing films about China that Chinese people would never see, Chen appeared ready to resign himself to foreign audiences and international acclaim.
For those who saw Chen's coalescing style as that of a maker of opulent soap operas--a mainland Wayne Wang--The Emperor and the Assassin will prove a frustrating surprise. This is a cold, vast film that makes even the most remote scene in Yellow Earth--a lone soldier dwarfed by the bleached dunes of western China--seem as intimate as a vacation postcard by comparison. While evincing a tonal departure, though, Chen's latest maintains the director's signature iconoclasm; he is an artist, after all, for whom defying conformity is tantamount to defying authority. "I don't think people are really interested in politics," he muses. "But I was one who really witnessed a lot of terrible things, [so] there's almost an obligation to do this kind of movie."
On the surface, at least, The Emperor and the Assassin is Chen's most political film. Set in the Third Century B.C.E., and mounted with immaculate period detail, the story recounts the rise of China's first emperor, the mercurial Yin Zheng (Li Xuejian). The emperor Qin, as he is commonly known, united the seven kingdoms by hostile takeover and now holds a place in Chinese history analogous to that of Julius Caesar in the Occident. Chen makes no excuses for the emperor's Machiavellianism; indeed, his Third Century makes the Twentieth, with its Great Leaps Forward and Tiananmen Squares, look like a glass of lemonade on a lazy summer afternoon. And although the emperor also makes the Gang of Four seem like a centrist tea party, Chen draws none-too-subtle parallels between the founder of China's dictatorship and the founder of the dictatorship of the proletariat (who, coincidentally, bragged about outdoing the emperor in the number of scholars buried during his reign).
Amid the slaughters, sieges, and DeMillean cavalry maneuvers, Chen also delves into the intricacies of court life, which turns out to be something like Shakespeare filtered through Kurosawa. Along with the emperor and a scheming marquis (Wang Zhiwen), there is a loyal concubine, played by Gong Li, who hires an assassin named Jing Ke (Zhang Fengyi) to kill her king. The plot, which is as familiar to Chinese as the ides of March is to Westerners, does not carry the same dramatic weight as the domestic intrigues of Temptress Moon or Farewell My Concubine, yet, like the former film, the court scenes benefit immeasurably from the presence of Gong Li. She is a paralyzingly beautiful actress--as in, Don't operate heavy machinery within two hours of viewing--and has, for good reason, become something of a muse for modern Chinese directors. She is the mainland's first proper matinee goddess.
According to Chen, the retelling of China's founding mythology as a tale of corrupted power and heedless violence is a corrective to the patriotism of previous films about the emperor. "I must say there are a lot of assassinations in Chinese history, but very few of them have anything to do with justice. He [Jing Ke] didn't do this for money. He realized he would die. It didn't matter whether he would succeed. So we should regard him as a hero who would stand up to an emperor and a strong military force, stand up to the most powerful person in the world and say, 'No.'"
Oddly, however, Chen's politicized epic has thus far failed to stir much controversy in China. The Emperor and the Assassin is, in fact, the first of his films to slip by the censors unedited and unbanned. This, too, presents a new problem for the director, who, having acted for years in opposition to the system, must now compete within the market long denied him. Public indifference and splashier American films filtering into China, in other words, now threaten to mute him where government censors could not. "I think the review is mixed," he says with a shrug. "[The film] is doing quite well in Japan and some European countries. Money-wise, it's not so great in China. Some people really like it. To me, it's not a big deal because I grew up with this curse. Some people always criticize me. I'm happy to hear that."
In a perverse way, to go uncensored in China may ultimately force Chen and his fellow Fifth Generation agitators to conform to the new demands of the market--to compete with the foreign blockbusters they despise. It seems significant and somehow not particularly promising that The Emperor and the Assassin became the first film in history to have its premiere in the Great Hall of the People, the cavernous seat of China's politburo. It seems significant as well that the Great Hall is almost perfectly equidistant from the Heavenly Gate of the Forbidden City--eternal symbol of China's history--and the spot in Tiananmen Square where, ten years ago, students tried to shout down PLA tanks. Like China itself, Chen now stands at a historical crossroads, balanced between honoring the ghosts of the past and plunging toward an uncertain future.
The Emperor and the Assassin is playing at the Uptown Theatre, and starts Friday at Lagoon Cinema.

Tallahassee, FL - Speed up, or move over. Slow driving can now cost you...
A new law signed by Governor Scott says the left lane on highways should be reserved for faster drivers within the speed limit.
For years, Florida has had those signs. They say 'Slower traffic move right. ' But, Governor Rick Scott signed a bill yesterday making it illegal to drive too slow in the left lanes.
According to the new law, anyone driving 10 miles per hour below the speed on the left lane can be fined for going too slow. Especially if they are being overtaken by another vehicle coming from behind them.
The Florida Highway Patrol tells us the fines could be up to sixty dollars for violators of the new rule.
There are exceptions to the rule however. Such as when drivers slow down as they prepare to turn left at intersections or on exits they are getting off on.

The Environmental Spectator
Tilting at Windmills
The dubious turbine industry.
You know the saying: Ignorance is bliss. Unfortunately for the American taxpayer, when it comes to the wind turbine industry, ignorance is not as blissful as it is infuriating. According to a new report by the Investigative Reporting Workshop (in coordination with ABC's World News with Diane Sawyer and the Watchdog Institute), Obama can now add wind turbines to his growing list of failures within the stimulus package.
Renewable energy industry is growing; wind turbines are a key avenue of that growth. Obama has said he would like to be a leader in clean energy but that the United States is struggling to make this goal a reality. He's right, but that's only half the story. The Workshop reports that $2.1 billion in stimulus grants have been given to wind, solar and geothermal companies to make good on Obama's objective but almost 80% of those went to foreign companies. A bankrupt Australian company nabbed the largest grant so far-$178 million. With that, Babcock & Brown built "a Texas wind farm using turbines made by a Japanese company."
Even Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), hardly a foe of Obama's stimulus package, was disappointed with the news that foreign companies were receiving-4 to 1-stimulus funds and jobs on renewable energy-related projects. In an interview with ABC News he said: "Very few jobs here, lots of jobs in China. That is not what I intended or any other legislator who voted for the stimulus intended...It is fine that the Chinese make them. But why don't we use the stimulus money to start building up an industry to build them here, that was the very point of the stimulus."
Of the 80% of stimulus grants going to wind facilities, the majority of those are turbines which prevail in popularity both with renewable energy advocates, professional and laymen alike. If the 4 to 1 ratio is frightening, never fear: According to StimulusWatch.org, several organizations around the country are receiving your tax dollars-I mean stimulus money-to fund large-scale wind turbine projects. The National Science Foundation is receiving $435,231 in grant money to work on a wind turbine project in Buford, Wyoming. Likewise, the Department of Energy received nearly $25 million to "design, construct, and ultimately have responsibility for the operation of the Large Wind Turbine Blade Test Facility" through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. According to the report, no jobs are being created through those projects.
While the stimulus funds for energy projects are creating little to no jobs in the United States, they number they produce overseas is maddening. Allow the numbers to illuminate: The Renewable Energy Policy Project did a study and estimated that for every 1 megawatt of wind energy that is developed, 4.3 jobs are created. There were about 1,219 turbines built by foreign-owned manufacturers which equates to 2,279.5 megawatts. If you crunch the Renewable Energy Policy Project's numbers, the installation of these turbines may have created as many as 6,838 manufacturing jobs -- anywhere but here.
Such news may cause taxpayers to pause and evaluate the cost-benefit ratio of the turbines. Estimates vary but some sources say it can cost $300,000 to transport the turbines and a 2007 estimate by Windustry reported that a commercial scale wind turbine cost $3.5 million installed.
If one wind turbine produces 1.8 megawatts of energy -- enough energy for 500 households per year -- and each household spends on average $2,150 on their energy bill per year, the turbine saves $1.75 million per year in energy. At a cost of $3.5 million installed, a wind turbine will have earned its proverbial keep in two years.
While the math works out, the economics still don't. Turbines are only entirely beneficial if American taxpayer dollars were given to companies here to give to American workers here to construct them and if they worked like a charm once they were built. Unfortunately, therein, as the Bard would say, lies the rub.
In Minnesota, for example, a state which spent $3.3 million on eleven wind turbines, but which regularly experiences cold, winter weather, discovered this year their turbines freeze up when it's freezing. Apparently the hydraulic fluid which propels the turbines was supposed to work in colder temperature but failed to. There's a plan in progress to heat the fluid but as Minnesota native Ed Morrissey of Hot Air reported: "That will drastically reduce the net energy gain from each turbine, depending on how much heating the turbine fluid needs to stop congealing in the winter. Since cold weather here lasts anywhere from 4-6 months, that makes it mighty inefficient as an energy resource."
Blame could rest on the shoulder of the state on one side, the manufacturer on the other, and obviously this is an isolated incident. But if each American family only saves a few dollars every month after the wind turbines run efficiently and after they pay for themselves but their tax dollars were sent overseas for others to build them in the first place, is there a true cost benefit besides the warm, fuzzy feeling that we're all utilizing clean energy? Like his stimulus package, Obama's ideas work only if the theory is put into practice.

Regulators Close AmTrust, Other Banks
TheStreet) -- Regulators shut down six banks and thrifts Friday, including AmTrust Bank, a Cleveland thrift that had $12 billion in assets. The closings bring the 2009 total of failed U.S. banks and thrifts to 130.TheStreet.com Ratings had previously assigned all six failed institutions E-minus (Very Weak) financial strength ratings. The Office of Thrift Supervision took over AmTrust Bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. receiver. The FDIC then arranged for New York Community Bank, the main subsidiary of New York Community Bancorp (NYB), to assume AmTrust's $8 billion in deposits, along with $11 billion in assets, with the FDIC retaining the remaining assets (mainly nonperforming loans and repossessed real estate) for later disposition. New York Community Bancorp was recently included in TheStreet.com's select list of strong banks paying high dividends. The failure of AmTrust followed a year of large losses from nonperforming residential and construction loans, which left the institution undercapitalized under regulatory guidelines. The OTS had already made enforcement actions, including issuing a cease-and-desist order in November 2008 that required the institution to raise capital and make management changes. New York Community paid no premium to the FDIC for AmTrust's deposits, spread across 66 branches in Ohio, Florida and Arizona. The FDIC agreed to share in losses on $6 billion of the acquired assets, and in an unusual twist for the current cycle of bank failures, New York Community Bank granted the FDIC a "cash participant instrument," which would "serve as additional consideration for the transaction." New York Community announced it would provide more details on the transaction Monday morning.WASHINGTON (

Louisiana's legislature moves to protect student info
Believe me, there are plenty of things to chide the Louisiana legislature over, but in the past week or so, they've done something that, while seemingly small, is a good victory for protecting personal information. House Bill 718 of this session offered a series of amendments to Act 837, which passed last year. Act 837, along with Act 677, was written to try ease concerns | Read More »

Skip to comments.Marines do it their own way

A different approach to special forces A Marine awaits orders during urban war training exercises last week at Camp Pendleton, California. By Sue Lackey
Sept. 30 For the average Marine, it is both amusing and a bit galling to hear all the talk about special forces and their capabilities. For while the Army, Navy and Air Force have created Special Operations Commands with a unique structure, the Marine Corps has taken its basic forward deployed unit the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and trained every one in special operations tactics.
THE FAMED Delta Force is often celebrated as the nations most elite special operations team, but its position as a member of the the Armys Joint Special Operations Command gives it a narrow focus restricted to counterterrorism and hostage rescue. In contrast, each MEU must be qualified in 18 separate mission areas, including counter terrorism. This broad focus in training and qualifications makes the Marine unit more versatile than any other services special operations forces.
Gen. Alfred M. Gray, who served as Commandant of the Marine Corps in the early 1980s, helped create the Joint Special Operations Command. But while the command often requests Marines to flesh out its capability, the Corps is the only service which has refused to join the command at an organizational level. It goes against the reason the Marine Corps was developed, says a Marine officer who is a special operations specialist. It would have forced the Corps to focus on one mission, when the nation needed an amphibious force for forcible entry, with much broader capabilities.
Under a recent reform of the system, traditional special operations forces forces are assigned to specific theater Commanders in Chief for instance, the Commander in Chief, Europe or the Commander in Chief, Southern Command, which handles Latin America. East of these commands have units with specific specialties, and depend on that regional commander for support. MEUs, however, an amphibious force that can be deployed at will to any theater. Their floating base of operations gives them the ability to sustain a mission longer than other special operations forces, which are traditionally used for short term insertions, or in the case of the Green Berets, specific insurgency training missions.
The true strength of the MEUs lie in their ability to augment their forces with air and ground combat elements and combat service support. This means any given unit can call in tanks, amphibious assault vehicles, and fixed wing aircraft all of which are part of standard MEU order of battle. Other special operations forces must rely on conventional service support when additional forces are needed.
A perfect example of this versatility was in the 1983 Grenada invasion, where Army special forces were inserted to extract U.S. Embassy staff. The team was able to reach their target, but were then bottled up inside the embassy and unable to get out through enemy troops. The JSOC team then called for Marine support. An MEU which had been diverted to Grenada broke through with tanks and armored vehicles to extract their colleagues and the embassy personnel they had rescued.
The way in which special operations training has been integrated into the basic structure of the Corps has changed the capabilities of the Corps as a whole. The other military services are large enough to allow their SF units to function in some degree of separation. Because the Marine Corps is so small in numbers, its SOC qualified personnel rotate on duty throughout the Corps, which has enhanced the overall quality of training and identification with special operations forces. Most of these men have now percolated to the top of the command structure. Its been in place so long now that a lot of the flag officers grew up with this-theyre Al Grays boys, said one Marine special operations veteran. Thats what you do not get in the other special forces, because they tend to stay in their own areas. When they do go into other units to further their careers, they have problems integrating within the conventional forces and its military bureaucracy. They dont do well as staff officers; they want to go back to their unit.
That lack of experienced special forces officers at high levels to give special forces a voice allows other branches of the conventional forces to marginalize the effectiveness of special operations in budget battles and mission planning a situation the Marine Corps has managed to avoid.
Gray was Commandant from July 1987 through June of 1991.
The Marines who rescued Scott O'Grady in June of 1995 were run of the mill grunts and wingers doing what they've all been trained to do and practice on a regular basis. America gets the most bang for it's defense dollar with the Corps. A hearty Semper Fi to all my fellow Devil Dogs past and present around the globe.
Perhaps the Marine Medal of Honor recipient I admire most is General Merritt "Red Mike" Edson, his Medal of Honor won at Edson's Ridge on Guadalcanal. "Red Mike" Edson was on track to be Commandant of the Corps but left active duty to achieve two things - the independence of the Corps and that Second Amendment powerhouse and defender of our liberties, the modern National Rifle Association of America. Before Past President Merritt Edson the National Rifle Association was only an association of shooting clubs.
America can always count on the Marines.
Thanks for this post!
But it's time to drop it. We're all in the same boat, and we have a common mission to eradicate the threat to our nation and its people. It's going to take the skills and capabilities of everyone, from the cop on the beat and the firefighter on the truck, to the FBI and intelligence services, to every single member of our armed forces, regular and reserve.
I don't think we really, truly understand the scope of what we are facing. The terrorists' numbers might be small in absolute terms, but they are spread out and dug in across two-thirds of the northern hemisphere.
We're going to need all the tools we have at our disposal, both on the frontlines and on the homefront, to get through this thing.
God Bless President George W. Bush, and God Save the United States of America.
Hogwash. It's long past time that America knows that one branch of the military didn't succumb to that Commie Clinton and his gang of fellow lefties on the Hill who have attempted and in some cases succeeded in weakening the United States and it's ability to defend itself. America doesn't need a Marine Corps. America wants a Marine Corps. Because of this trust the taxpayer deserves to know that there are 170,000+ warriors who take the extraordinary and make it ordinary. Our sister services as well as the average citizen would be well served to follow the Corps' lead, although history has shown that they have been reluctant and unwilling to do so in the past.

Aboard the USS Tarawa (LHA-1), a 21-gun salute is fired in
honor of the Marines and Sailors who paid the ultimate sacrifice during
the assault on Tarawa in November 1943. The ceremony was one of two
conducted Aug. 29, by 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations
Capable) and ships of Tarawa Amphibious Ready Group, and the force
steamed past the Tarawa Atoll. The 13th MEU(SOC) is currently on a
six-month deployment to the Western Pacific and Arabian Gulf.
If you have a kid wanting to enlist - go Marine Corp. the level of seriousness they have for their craft is remarkable and it starts with their education in warfare - my husband is a mini-expert on nearly every battle because of the Marines and their determination never to "reinvent" the wheel but go forward with their objective. They might be "jarheads" but the jar is full of intellect.
Two weeks ago we attended the MCRD graduation in San Diego and I am happy to report that those boys have become men.
Calling in a few friends..:))
Nobody is going to do that to America and live.
Oh, I see. So in this time of trouble and turmoil, when Americans of every political persuasion are coming together for the common good, YOUR primary concern is that "eveyone in America" knows that Clinton was a Commie.
Oh, and that would be the America that voted for him twice, and nearly voted for him a third time, by proxy, in the person of Algore.
IOW, you think that after 8 1/2 years, Americans are finally gonna "get it" because some of the Marines' boosters (that would be yourself) want to continue a pointless p*ssing contest with the other branches of the service.
If you're haven't yet reached adulthood, please forgive what I'm about to say. But you are an adolescent moron.
We have far more at stake here than your endorphin levels. We happen to be at war, and it will take every man-jack of us--even a hyper-extenuated teenager like yourself--to pull through this thing.
And if you're trying to convince ME that our other SpecOps assets are without any merit, and ONLY the USMC can save the day, then you've failed. I happen to respect and admire ALL of our highly-trained and highly-motivated fighting men, the Marines not least of all.
Go back to your comic books. The adults have work to do.
I have to agree with you. I'll never forget when Clinton's female Deputy SECDEF got on national television, and called the Marine Corps "an extremist organization." She confirmed the idiocy of their whole mindset.
The people in this country who need to grow up are the ones who think we can have Congress mandate handicapped access battlefields or that calling the nearest female a "naval aviator" makes her one.
And if SMEDLEYBUTLER will accept the salute from a cousin ... Semper Fi.
Junior, we Gyrenes don't give an airborne sex act what you believe!
People like you couldn't last the first day of boot, much less a firefight.
There are some real heroes on this forum, and a lot of them are my fellow Marines.
When you step on one of their toes you step on mine and all the rest of us, and I assure you, you don't want to do that!
There has always been a rivalry between the services and there always will be. It's part of the life of being military.
Try a hitch in the Corps before you start evaluating any part of our psyche.
The difference between the Corps under Al 'Fireplug' Gray, and under P.X. Kelley his predecesor, was a very stark contrast.
Immediately following Boot Camp, I was one of the first of six SOI (School of Infantry) platoons that was selected for an experiment at Camp Geiger called 'MCT' (Marine Combat Training). They stretched us to the breaking point, then calibrated the training down a pip and instituted it in regular Basic Training called 'The Crucible'.
In USMC Basic, the 'Crucible' lasts two days. For us, it went on for eight weeks. Sleep deprivation, poor living conditions, scarce food, MOUT training, and a 21-mile road march (no roads that I saw, BTW) came at us with no warning when we thought we were going to hit the rack one evening. Two days later, we humped 21 miles back -- again with no warning. Lots of head games, physical fitness regimens, mixed with some outstanding training in weapons that even the old lifer sergeants hadn't even seen yet.
Toughest time of my life. School of Infantry training was actually a few steps down in pain, by comparison. That was when the fun came in: Amphibious assaults by LCAC (hovercrafts) and Amtracs, doing 'Jacob's Ladder' drills from Gator Navy ships, etc. All the MEU and BLT exercises.
General Gray was a son-of-a-bitch, let me tell you. I only appreciated it after MCT was over. Everyone was taken to the limits, even the instructors. I was only 20 years old then.
I'm sure I'd die if I tried to do it again at my age. :)
Unless they've been military, Tonkin, they won't understand that.
The closest I can come to your experience are the bar fights we used to have with the swabbies in San Diego who were our best buddies the next night.
There is not many a finer sight than a Marine in his dress uniform.
There are many things that you don't understand illbay, with the inter-service rivalry being just one. For a panty-waist like yourself to be calling Smedleybutter an "adolescent moron" is laughable. Why don't you tell us about your service record, illbay?
I couldn't help but think about my Dad when I read that. He was a USMC lifer who survived WWII and Korea while all of his best friends didn't. As a boy I wondered why he was such a tough SOB, but of course that was what allowed him to survive and why he demanded the best efforts from others.
BTW, he is still going strong.
I think you misunderstood MY statement. At this point, this is about as apropos as arguing who's going to win the Army-Navy game.
It ain't about the winner of the p*ssing contest these days. The only contest is with the enemy.
And I, in turn, don't care what you think about the folks paying your salary, so long as you get the job done.
I understand inter-service rivalry perfectly well. Go back and read my post (let me know if you need help with the long words).
What I said was, there is a time and a place for everything, and NOW is not the time, and the MIDDLE EAST is not the place, for a stupid-*ss teenage p*ssing contest.
Every one of us says the same thing - it is so..:)))
I'll tell you what, hotshot - if they don't "get the job done" why don't you fire 'em and do it yourself?
The army has soliders, the air force has airmen, the navy has sailors, and the Marines have Marines. Please get it right!
I still have nightmares about this one event: A 5-mile hauling-butt run over gravel that was the consistency of greasy marbles carrying a full combat load: Flak jacket, full load of blank ammo, weapons (I carried an M2 receiver with the bolt inside plus my rifle), helmet, ALICE pack, and two MREs in my cargo pockets.
It was just horrible. Running too fast to drink water, and I was dying for just a drop. When we were through, just about everyone was flipping around on the deck like a fish out of water. I think I drank two gallons of hot water from one of those plastic salmon-colored jerry cans that had been baking in the sunlight all day. It was the second to the last day of MCT, and as a 'reward' for graduating, we got three whole days leave before we reported to SOI (restricted to immediate area), except for time to pack our trash. I spent the entire first day of leave in Mainside Camp LeJeune at the Navy hospital. After the Doc looked my legs over for shin splints, a nurse just gave me a bottle of Motrin and told me to rest in the straggler's area watching TV. They know you're messed up if you're a sick-bay commando with a 72-hour pass.
I came back to Camp Geiger on the bus later that night, and everyone -- I mean everyone -- was asleep in their racks. Not one person requested an off-base pass. Our new troophandler just threw me my bedding, and told me to find a rack and not wake anyone. Some officer came by and told him 'All these Marines are on a three-day leave. No duty for them. Just leave them alone.'

You're not crazy. It wasn't there before. I added it because I noticed that PGE didn't like having a bunch of 0xFFs as the "data".
Same applies to the names.
The limiter is in a different location in Emerald, and may not use that string of hex commands. I believe Gamer2020 posted the location of that limiter a few posts after the first post. Check his post out.
You ARE correcting the offsets for Emerald, right? I just want to make sure you are, because all the pointers in my first post are for FR specifically.

TAYLORSVILLE – There were cheers and tears for the Anderson County High School basketball teams in 30th District play Tuesday night
Anderson County can be thankful Lowell Gordon had a hot hand Monday night. The junior, who is usually one of the smallest players on the court, came up big for the Bearcats in their district tournament win over Eminence Monday night at Spencer County.
Early, Anderson struggled a bit. The Bearcats did not appear to be tight, but just could not find the rim from the outside. However, Gordon nailed back-to-back 3-pointers in the second quarter that got Anderson going. The more he – and the rest of the Bearcats shot – the hotter they got.
TAYLORSVILLE -- Lowell Gordon buried seven 3-point shots and the Anderson County defense stymied the Eminence attack in the second half as the Bearcats rolled to a 69-45 win in the first round of the 30th District Tournament at Spencer County.
Gordon's outburst is believed to tie a school record for downtown bombing with Will Shouse and Dustin Aldridge. Gordon's back-to-back threes in the fourth quarter pushed Anderson to a 56-39 advantage. Eminence, which had stayed within striking distance through three quarters, was never within 15 again.
FRANKFORT -- Meade County's Garrett Kenealy scored a take-down with two seconds remaining to defeat Anderson County's Austin Dillow in the seventh-place match of the 135-pound class at the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state tournament on Saturday.
Dillow had rallied in the third period to forge a tie when he scored on an escape with 27 seconds to go.
"He wrestled well and left all he had out there on the mat," said Anderson coach Tom Castle.
FRANKFORT -- Franklin County turned numerous Anderson County mistakes into baskets during the third quarter on its way to a 45-41 win in girls' basketball action Friday night.
Trailing 24-19, Franklin turned up the defensive pressure to go on a 14-1 run and take control of the game. Anderson cut the lead to three points on three separate occasions in the fourth quarter, but could not get the break down the stretch.
FRANKFORT -- Franklin County led from wire-to-wire as the Flyers rolled to a 62-41 win over Anderson County in boys' basketball action on Friday night.
Franklin used its quickness to completely disrupt the Anderson offensive attack, building a 30-13 halftime lead and then never allowing Anderson to get closer than 14 points in the second half. Franklin's margin topped out at 58-36 late in the fourth quarter.
"All year long, we have been emotionally charged, but tonight we weren't," said Anderson coach Glen Drury.
UPDATED, Saturday, Feb. 19, 12:20 a.m.
Austin Dillow pulled out a 1-0 win over Brandon Pledger of St. Xavier on Friday night to advance to the fourth round of the consolation bracket in the state wrestling tournament, being held at the Frankfort Civic Center. Dillow is the only Anderson wrestler still alive in the competition and will earn a place in the medal round with a victory over Jeffersontown's Robert Newberry on Saturday morning.
All other Anderson wrestlers have been elminated from the competition.

So I am just curious me and dh sometimes disagree on this, I feel that since we decided to have a child our life now is scheduled around her, but he feels differently. For example, when we need to go grocery shopping I want to go around her naps because it makes her happier and myself happier because she isn't fussy, but he feels we should when he wants to and she can suck it up lol.
Now I don't mean with things like work, obviously those things your kids have to be scheduled around you, I mean personal things. Also parties, cookout, social events i feel that it is more important that dd gets to bed on time, sometimes its okay to stay out a little longer like an hour after bedtime if shes doing well, but nothing completely unreasonable. There's a couple we know that their children go around the parents schedule, if they want to go shopping or want to stay out, so will their children no matter if they are fussy and exhausted, the parents won't leave until they want to.
Now i am not saying either way is right or wrong I am just curious what most people do.

Sisters from O.C. have homecoming show at the fair
The first time Savvy & Mandy played the OC Fair things didn't go entirely as planned, the pop-rock duo cheerfully admit.
"We actually performed there in the talent show at the youth expo," says Mandy Burhoe, 13, the younger of the two sisters, on the eve of their return Wednesday as part of a Radio Disney tour.
"I remember that we didn't do that well because Savvy tripped over the mic cord and lost her shoe, and then we forgot our dance moves," Mandy says.
But that was a long time ago, when the girls were 9 and 11 and just starting out. Today they've polished their act, scored two hits on Radio Disney last year and have plans a-plenty: a full album to complement the EP they released, a movie, maybe a TV series.
Savvy & Mandy play the Action Sports Arena at 7 p.m., headlining a Radio Disney show that also features Jonnie & Brookie, Tyler Shamy, and Runway MMC.
"I'm just really excited because it's in our hometown, and we've only done one other show (in Orange County) and it was at Disneyland," says Savvy Burhoe, 15, who with Mandy grew up in Mission Viejo and Ladera Ranch before moving to Los Angeles a few years ago to be closer to the entertainment industry.
"So a lot of friends from Orange County are coming up to support it," Savvy says, adding that she's also excited that it's also their first show to have tickets available on Ticketmaster, after previously playing only at venues and events that did not require that.
"There's just tons of energy when we perform live," Mandy says when asked to describe what fans can expect at the show.
"Our music is really pop rock," Savvy says. "And it's really about girl empowerment, really positive about (how) girls can do anything."
After working on songs and performing for a few years - including that talent show at the fair, which they lost to a kid who played the piano amazingly well, they say - they signed a deal to record their music.
Last year, the sisters earned their big break when two of their songs cracked the Top 30 countdown on Radio Disney and one ("Here I Am") finished 47th in Radio Disney's Best of 2008 fan vote.
"Gosh, we were so excited," Savvy says of the day "Waiting For The Heartbreak" became their first song to make the Radio Disney Top 30, where it stayed for a long run in 2008. (The song also was featured in an episode of MTV's "Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County."
"We were working at it for two years, and it was our first song on the radio, and to have a bunch of kids vote for it, it was really exciting," she says.
Asked to describe each other, younger sister Mandy was sweet as could be to her big sis.
"Savvy is really funny and really outgoing and she's super nice," Mandy says. "I think she has good taste in clothing. You're really fun to hang out with."
Savvy, in her turn, started like this: "I think Mandy is such a sweet, little girl - "
"Little?!?" Mandy interrupted with mock offense.
" - and we get along really, really well, and she's like my best friend," Savvy continued. "Mandy's one of those people who when you first meet her, she seems shy, but oh, god, if you knew her really well she's not shy.
"She's really loud and will do anything: 'Mandy, go shake that guy's hand and yell "Whale!"' And she'll do it!"
Last Sunday, the sisters sang the national anthem at Dodger Stadium, the biggest crowd they'd ever performed before, they say.
"It was so fun, and so many, many people," Savvy says.
"It was like this wall of people, a blur," Mandy says.
Lots of music, lots of fans: that's the game plan, the pair agreed.

Getting a set of good furniture is the first step towards making your living room look great. Lovely looking sofas, smashing kind of sectionals, great coffee tables, stunning looking wall décor and decorations, window treatments including curtains, drapery and other accessories all combine to make your living room elegant and extremely beautiful.

Many a time, wall colour can make a lot of difference to the ambience of the room. Getting a warm colour or a light pastel shade can be a good background for all your furniture and furnishing. Light cream or beige colour walls can make a nice backdrop for hardwood furniture especially if your sofa set pieces have a finish of glossy dark mahogany or rosewood stain.
With Tailored Looking Sofa and Toss Pillows
If you like to make a quick splash of colour on the walls – to change the focus from some sober shades of walls like gray, or dull cream, or off white etc, it is best to get on one wall some wall posters or wall decals. Having a wall poster or a wall decal or even putting up wall paper in a contrast shade brings a splash of colour to the living room.

Beautiful looking furniture is the most important part of interior decoration and living room is no exception. Three-piece and two-piece sofas, matching ottoman and a sectional can make perfect seating arrangement for the room.
