Cut to the chase: I'm a conservative, the author is a liberal. That being said, I found this short book to be very descriptive and informative. The author is a talented writer and paints vivid pictures with lasting imagery. The more I read about our deployments, the more I support our troops and question our government.
Part of this book describes an aid station. This station that Berenson visited has dealt with over 100 trauma cases (military and civilians), and they have had to put lots of our solders (or parts of our soldiers) into body bags. I know this because I am good friends with the Captain interviewed in Chapter IV. I would like to note that the author failed to include any of the positive things we have done to help the locals, my guess is that this is due to his personal bias. But he does not claim this book to be a documentary, it is an opinion piece, and it is a well-written one at that.
Yes, Afghanistan is a mess, and it happens to be the one war that President Obama supported, but our troops are doing the best they can given the rules of engagement they are forced to live by, and given the lack of will of the people they are trying to help. Afghanistan is a horribly corrupt and backwards society (in my opinion), at some point we have to ask ourselves, "why are we there?"
The author did a good job mixing big picture facts with the granular experience of those on the ground, but the style was too flippant at times and his pronouncements on difficult issues were too facile. Ultimately, it came across as a somewhat glib recasting of potentially compelling source material.
Even the details of moving around the country were captured perfectly. Most readers might think nothing of the inclusion of the bit about Kandahar Airfield (KAF) and its TGI Friday's, and expect the story to begin at the combat outpost. However by including it, he mirrors what the Soldiers go through. He covers it just enough to see the absurdities and make it stick in your head, and gets you wondering what to expect. The Soldiers go through the same thing- they deploy to KAF, get stuck there seeing the excess and the cushy life, then move on to a base in the middle of nowhere.
In the end, the book was very short, but presented the setting and Soldiers' attitudes extremely well.
beginning I thought the move was correct. It appears that we have fallen into the same crevase that the Russians did there
only we do not know when to say ENOUGH. Their culture will continue if and when we leave and I belive that Alex has
clarified that as the case. Interesting reading that updates my past 22 years in the green uniform. History will prevail.

Going for Gold—or Whatever
The Secret to an Aging Olympian's Endurance: Don't Let Training Get in the Way of Fun
Olympian Abdi Abdirahman arrived in New York ahead of a race last week with every intention of going for a 50-minute training run. Then his plans changed.
"I just wanted to eat, lie in bed and watch basketball," said Abdirahman, an American long-distance runner. "So that's what I did."
Distance runners tend to be Type A personalities. They weigh their food, chart their mileage and obsess over everything from sleep to stretching. Then there is easygoing Abdirahman, a Somali native who moved to the U.S. as a child. He eats what he wants, likes to party and runs fewer training miles than other marathoners, occasionally skipping workouts altogether.
Despite this approach—if not because of it—Abdirahman will compete in his fourth Olympics this summer. A rare feat in any discipline, it is especially so in distance running, with that sport's high potential for burnout and injury. Only two other American male distance runners have competed in four Olympics. The last to do it was George Young, who won a bronze medal in the steeplechase at the Mexico City Games in 1968.
At 35, Abdirahman is no more expected to win a medal in London than he was in Beijing, Athens or Sydney. In his three previous Olympic competitions, running the 10,000 meters, he never finished higher than 10th. He qualified for the 2012 Games by finishing third in the U.S. marathon trials in January behind teammates Ryan Hall and Meb Keflezighi. His best marathon time is five minutes slower than the world record.
When asked about Abdirahman this week, Alan Ashley, the U.S. Olympic Committee's chief of sport performance, was at a loss. "Who is he?" Ashley asked.
For Abdirahman, winning medals isn't everything. He earns enough money from sponsorships to live comfortably. Competitions take him on trips around the world. And he refuses to endanger his love of running by shoving unappealing amounts of it down his throat. While many elite marathoners run more than 140 miles a week, Abdirahman peaks at about 105.
"He's the polar opposite of any other runners I've ever known," said Shelley Duncan, a Cleveland Indians outfielder and close friend of Abdirahman's from their days at the University of Arizona. "He's just a guy who loves life."
That quality can make him a positive influence among distance runners prone to overtraining. Ryan Hall, America's top threat for a marathon medal in London, recalls inquiring about Abdirahman's workout plan at a high-altitude training camp last summer. Abdirahman's response—"I'm tired, man. I'm not going to train today"—floored Hall, who praises Abdirahman for listening to his body rather than feeding a high-mileage obsession.
Hall, who coaches himself, said that Abdirahman taught him to relax. "You can only push the envelope so many times, be intense for so long," said Hall, who blames some setbacks in his career on overtraining. "Abdi's the total opposite of that."
While other Olympians go by heroic-sounding nicknames like "bullet" or "torpedo," Abdirahman calls himself the "Black Cactus," a reference to his race and to the Arizona landscape in which he trains. Like altitude, heat toughens him, he believes, noting that he trains in the midday desert sun. "It's just a mental thing," he said. "I think it makes me stronger."
At 5 feet 11 and 130 pounds, Abdirahman is more telephone pole than cactus. His body is essentially an oxygen tank with legs, though he isn't ascetic when it comes to diet. His freezer is stocked with red meat. "I love meat," he said. Unlike teammate Hall, who adopted a gluten-free diet two years ago, Abdirahman doesn't discriminate against carbs. "I'm glue-free," he jokes.
A four-time national champion at the 10,000 meters, Abdirahman never ran track in high school, starting only as a freshman at Tucson's Pima Community College. Showing up for his first practice in jeans and boots, he nearly beat the team's top runner in a five-mile race.
By all accounts, success never tempted him to take himself too seriously. His college friend, Duncan, recalls a New Year's Eve party during which Abdirahman ran sprints through a restaurant without a shirt. "We got into a lot of trouble," Duncan said.
After exhausting his eligibility at Arizona, Abdirahman was living on $200 a month until a Nike endorsement provided him with $30,000. That was supposed to help him train, but he also used it to buy his first truck, a Ford Explorer, and to finance his social life. "All I did was hang out with my friends and take them out to dinner all the time," he said. "It was the best."
"Abdi is 35 going on 18," said Dave Murray, his longtime coach.
Yet Murray adds that Abdirahman's relatively modest training regimen has limited injuries while preserving the athlete's passion for running. "You have to enjoy what you're doing. If it's drudgery to get out of bed to go for a 13-mile run, that's not going to help you in the long run," Murray said.
In recent years, Abdirahman said he's actually matured, in part thanks to a close relationship with Bernard Lagat, a two-time Olympic medalist in the 1,500 meters. "He's a serious guy in training, but sometimes you need to give him a little motivation," said Lagat, who also lives in Tucson. "'Hey, Abdi! You're goofing off too much! No more parties on Friday night!'"
Lagat paused. "My son loves Abdi so much because Abdi is like another child."
Until recently, Abdirahman drove a GMC Denali, an enormous SUV with flashy chrome wheels. But upon returning from a 24-mile run in the desert, he found that it had been stolen, leaving him stranded. Undaunted, he caught a ride home, called his insurance company and bought himself a new BMW. A fashion lover—he owns 20 pairs of Air Jordans—he dreams someday of starting an apparel line called Black Cactus.
But for the moment, Abdirahman has no plans to stop running. He doesn't rule out seeking a berth in the 2016 Games in Rio, when he would be 39. If his running career ends without any medals in international competition, he won't feel like a failure.
"I'm not going to be like, 'What have I done! I've wasted my life!'" Abdirahman said. "No, that's not me."

11th Jan. 2012 ::
The ExoPlanet Count is Likely to Reach Trillions
Through various means, astronomers have now confirmed over 700 exoplanets. In addition, there are nearly two and a half thousand more candidates awaiting observational confirmation - confirmation that will more than likely come for the overwhelming majority.
The Kepler mission
is of course leading the way, with it's precise optics operating with the benefit of an unobstructed heliocentric orbit, and outside of our flickering atmosphere.
Kepler is now reporting tiny planets as well as the larger mulit-Jupiter mass planets. Just today the Kepler team has announced three planets all orbiting the same star with radii of just 60% to 80% that of the radius of Earth
, making the smallest of them similar in size to Mars.
New Kepler planet relative sizes.
Image: NASA/ Kelper
Meanwhile, as Kepler has been stealing headlines, a lesser known search for exoplanets has been in progress. A small international team has been using a technique called gravitational lensing to conduct a 6 year survey of millions of stars.
Tomorrow, in the journal Nature they will announce that their observations indicate that "
planets are more common than stars
. Microlensing requires a very rare chance alignment of a background and lensing star for an event to be detected. In addition, to spot a planet during the lensing event, an additional chance alignment of the planet's orbit is also needed, putting the planet between the two stars and in alignment with the earth bound observer. These unlikely requirements mean that any such detections can only be put down to one of two things; either sheer blinding good luck, or (more likely of course) a statistical likelihood from the fact that there are an awful lot of planets.
Daniel Kubas, co-lead author of the paper explains: "We used to think that the Earth might be unique in our galaxy. But now it seems that there are literally billions of planets with masses similar to Earth orbiting stars in the Milky Way"
Of course, if we consider that there are perhaps somewhere in the region 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe - as of today, and this announcement - it looks more likely than ever that there are (will be, and have been) thousands of trillions of planets. And perhaps billions of Earths!
Some of the sunsets and some of the sunrises must be spectacular! Such an amazing wonder to live in a time when these discoveries are being made - our understanding of the Universe is truly growing daily. And yet, such a shame to live in a time when these types of view live only in the imagination...

As expected, Saturday's OISRA Mt. Hood Ski League end-of-season ceremony was dominated by Hood River Valley High School boys and girls ski teams, who claimed first-place awards in every team and individual category.
Leading the girls, Lucy McLean won league honors in slalom, giant slalom and combined categories, while teammate Kelli Clark was second in slalom and combined and Korey Cimock was second in giant slalom and third in combined. Austin Keillor was first in all three categories for the boys, while teammate William Lamer was second in giant slalom, fourth in slalom and third combined.
Both boys and girls teams claimed overall champion honors as well after winning every league race of the season. The Dalles was runner-up in both categories, with Eli Holeman the top finisher for the boys at second in slalom third in giant slalom and second combined.
The HRV racers will see how they compare to the rest of the state's top skiers this week at the state championships, hosted at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area. After a practice day Wednesday, boys and girls will alternate slalom and giant slalom on Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, the HRV freestyle team competed in their state events Monday and Tuesday at Meadows. Full results from the event will run in the March 7 Hood River News, but highlighting Monday's action was Patrick Crompton's winning performance in the skiercross event. The freestyle team also won boys and girls league titles, although their competition wasn't much to speak of.
Finally, Hannah Bergemann and William Lamer were awarded the league's Ski Meister award over the weekend for being the top boy and girl skier in the league in a combination of freestyle and race events.

So why would we want to cut the warrant price in half. to be nice guys. this makes no sense. do your job and raise the stock price to $2.00 to cover the warrant price. a contract is a contract. live with it. i will be sending my no proxy today and attending the meeting to voice my displeasure.
Already voted No, but might attend the meeting. Where and when?
When and where is the meeting?
Sentiment: Buy
One reason to lower the price would be to encourage more holders to convert the warrants to shares rather than to let the warrants to expire with no new shareholders and no new cash. Warrant holders have about 3 more years to convert, and if things go well, $2 warrants should still be a good deal. But athx probably feels they could better use the cash now.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

excuse me psychics, yes or no? :/

God help this world..when we use terms as "get rid of it" when referring to a baby..Gosh..I think Im heading up that mountain..
Sorry, but I'm really not feeling well and cried myself to sleep. I'm really not clear in the head right now.
I don't know how landlords can tell someone to get rid of a cat or dog, because I think they are special and you know what usually happens, to cats and dogs...after in a shelter for a while. They put them to sleep(get rid of them)
Oh dear OP you are a sensitive soul. I'm not psychic and can't say if you're pregnant or not but I am sorry you're in this pain.
When I was 17 my ex-boyfriend date-raped me in his car and I got pregnant. I was terrified to tell my abusive mother and he paid for me to have an abortion (this was in the 70s, Roe V Wade was new and abortion was considered "no big deal"). Well it IS a big deal especially if you have strong emotions about it and are sensitive to animals and children like you seem to be. I attempted suicide and finally confessed to my mother and it was a horrible situation all around. Many years later a therapist dug deep enough to find that the abortion at age 17 was the starting point of my depression.
You are older, therefore more mature than I was but an abortion is not to be taken lightly, I've seen friends through it and some breezed through it without a second thought, others were devastated. Either way it's a very tough call.
Yes you can get pregnant even if he pulls out. There is sperm in his fluids even at the beginning of intercourse.
I've had psychics tell me that a little blonde boy is always with me. Always. I eventually married and had a daughter but I believe that blonde boy is the soul of the baby I would have had.
I do believe this is a wake-up call from God to think about your future, what do YOU want, never mind what anyone else tells you, friends or family or ex-boyfriends or psychics, but what do YOU want? Talk to God about it and see what happens, trust your gut feelings. Whatever happens know that you will be okay, and that you are loved.

India, which is currently grappling with several challenges including high inflation, low investments and a slowdown in economic growth, must have a sharp focus on fiscal correction by bringing in tax and subsidy reforms among other things, the Economic Survey 2013-14 said.
The annual report card of the government, tabled in Parliament by finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday, underlined the need to chalk out a new Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act (FRBMA) with teeth and better accounting practices.
Fiscal consolidation and correction will not only help in bringing macro economic stability by containing inflation, it will also help in boosting investments and eventually set the stage for a low interest rate regime.
"A new FRBM Act is critical and will create better conditions for co-ordination between monetary and fiscal policy and also usher in a low interest rate regime," DK Joshi, chief economist, Crisil told HT.

The survey further said that the priority of the new government must be to revive business sentiments and domestic macroeconomic balance to boost growth momentum while enhancing efficiency.
"CII supports the need for a fiscal consolidation roadmap backed by an FRBM Act with teeth, ensuring greater transparency and improved budget management to step up the quality of fiscal deficit by boosting capital expenditure," said Chandrajit Banerjee, director-general, CII.

The FRBM Act, which came into effect in 2003, set a target for the government to bring down fiscal deficit to 3% of GDP by 2008 and improve macroeconomic management. Fiscal deficit stood at 2.54% of GDP by 2007-08 and the revenue deficit at 1.05%. However the act was suspended in 2009 as the impact of global financial crisis hit home.

The end of appeasement
Chamberlain made the Munich Agreement with Hitler to prevent war, but, in the year after September 1938, there were six factors pressurising him to abandon his policy of appeasement.
|Things happening in Europe
|Things happening in Britain
|November 1938: Kristallnacht - attacks on the Jews in Germany.
|Churchill's speeches: attacked appeasement as
"a defeat without a war".
|March 1939: Czechoslovakia - Hitler invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia.
|October 1938: Oxford by-election - Chamberlain's Conservatives won, but the anti-appeasement candidate got lots of votes.
|May 1939: Pact of Steel: an alliance was formed between Germany and Italy to help each other in times of war.
|Lack of trust: Britain was building up its armed forces throughout 1938 and 1939.

Re: The Prequel Trilogy General Discussion and Appreciation Thread
Watched The Phantom Menace today for the first time in what must be 10 years (finally got all the SW films on BD), and it was much better than I remember. There are still some amazingly cringey things in it like "YIPPEE," Jar Jar and some others, but overall I enjoyed it much more than I used too.
Qui-Gon and Darth Maul were awesome, Natalie was a potential hotty along with Keira Knightley in her small role (and we all know they ended up being those hottys now), plus Ewan was awesome as Obi-Wan. Replacing the puppett Yoda with a CGI one was much smoother than I was expecting as well. Consdering I always thought TPM the worst of the series, I cant wait to watch the other prequels again now.
