Skip to comments.U.S. Would Have Fired on The Iranians
Posted on 03/25/2007 5:30:55 PM PDT by Weight of Glory
The executive officer - second-in-command on USS Underwood, the frigate working in the British-controlled task force with HMS Cornwall - said: The unique US Navy rules of engagement say we not only have a right to self-defence but also an obligation to self-defence. They [the British] had every right in my mind and every justification to defend themselves rather than allow themselves to be taken. Our reaction was, Why didnt your guys defend themselves?
(Excerpt) Read more at hotair.com ...
Different time and different place.
I must say that this was truly stupid.
In the first place, if you send your troops into harm's way, you have an obligation to defend them. I said the same thing about those National Guard troops on the Mexican border. If you don't want a provocation, then don't send in the troops. But you don't put troops on the line without the means to defend themselves.
In the second place, these bloody politicians and admirals now have created a first class mess for themselves. If they don't give a damn about their troops, you'd think they'd at least want to avoid getting themselves into a mess.
Once the Iranians went off with the hostages, the damage was done. Now they are between a rock and a hard place, and no matter what they do, the hostages' lives are at risk.
Like the guard ran away from the border too.
Blair is working on that. He's cutting the fleet to 22 - that's right, 22 - ships. He's also cut out paratroop training for the army, and liquidated formerly elite units.
Previously, and most likely in effect again post September 11, 2001, the US & Coalition vessels would refuel away from UAE Ports.
I doubt very much that they were on the Iranian side of the water. By the time the boat was surrounded, it was a bit late, but they could have fired warning shots when they saw the Iranians leave the shore.
Except that the rules of engagement didn't allow it. So if what you say is true, then it just means that the moment when it became too late to take useful action was just a little earlier.
When the school bully knows you won't fight back, you'll be handing him your lunch money every day.
Come on you Limies! You'd never have hung on to the Colonies with an attitude like that... Oh, you lost your colonies didn't you. Well, you're sure as hell not going to survive as a nation if you keep this BS up.
Come on! We need you as an Allie.
Hornblower and Pelliew (sp?)
When the USS Pueblo was hijacked in international waters by the NKoreans in 1968, we allowed the crew to remain captives of the NKoreans for 11 months rather than create an "international incident".
IMO, there would be fewer possibilities for "international incidents" if response was swift and sure everytime a rogue nation pulled a stunt like this. After the Pueblo was hijacked, the Enterprise was off the coast of NKorea the next day. Had I been in charge, I'd have parked 5 F-4s out the deck and invited the NKoreans to come take a look. Then, I'd let them know that they had 24 hours to release the ship and the crew intact. After that, a NKorean city would disappear every 2 hours until the ship and crew were released or there just wasn't anything left to destroy.
Unfortunately, we abandoned that crew to the "negotiators" for 11 months!! BS!!!
The fagafacation of the west is destroying us.
Didn't the brits invent radar
My computer has a mind of its own sometimes.
This is an ally that stood with us and the newsers seem to be ignoring it already. /rant
Consider who he works for. If he word "war" passes his lips, he probably gets sacked immediately.
The mort accurate date would probably be the Washington Treaty of 1922.
The HMS Cornwall did have a helo in the air monitoring the boarding operation. They detected the Iranian patrol boats shortly after they left port and were on a heading to intercept the boarded frieghter. Commodore Lambert in an interview with the BBC said of the incident, that the sailors appeared to be safe, and that they had behaved in an extremely professional way, in line with the rules of engagement.
"IMO, there would be fewer possibilities for "international incidents" if response was swift and sure everytime a rogue nation pulled a stunt like this"
No, Germans did some of the earliest work. The Americans, Germans, French, and British all developed working radars at roughly the same time.
Found this on the Long War thread:
"Everything I saw said Iraqi fisherman...9:10 in the mornin'
local time...they had a helo up that saw the iranian boats
"leave port",,,port must be close to the border,,,the
helo up and reporting tells us that the Cornwall was some
distance back from the border...

I doubt if the US Navy would have done anything different. In fact, last fall the new Centcom commander, Admiral Fallon, who was then the Pacific commander, when a Chinese sub suddenly surfaced within the security zone of a US carrier, went kowtowing to Beijing uttering, "We knew you were there, we just didn't want to create an international incident". I imagine he'll soil his trousers when Iamadinnerjacket bluffs him with a nuke.
See #68. All we know is what they tell us, but it's looking more and more as if the rules of engagement were the problem. They had plenty of backup and they saw the boats coming, but they did nothing.
At some point, the ship captain called his superiors for permission to fire, and was refused. I don't know how far up the chain of command that went. But obviously, if it has to go all the way up the chain of command and you have to call a meeting of politicians in England before you're given permission to fire, then it's too late.
The Brits were a little ahead of the US with radar, and we drew on their work. I believe Raytheon was central to our effort.
I guess the same rules of engagement don't apply to our border guards
"I say, old chap, if you continue to capture our troops I'm afraid I'll have to speak to you rather sternly!"
Uh huh. Lets see...they did have a 50 cal on the Pueblo against...four torpedo boats with multiple machine guns, a subchaser with a 57 mm cannon and two MIGs.
What would you suggest the Captain and crew of the Pueblo have done?
Actually, I thought it was all too obvious.
Radar is one of those things where there were parallel developments in multiple countries. There is a brief article from the BBC here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/A591545
TANKS for the ping,Cas,,,4 has a new map up on the thread
that mite help get a handle on where this happened,,,
Because political correctness has almost completely destroyed Britannia.
"The world screamed excessive force and the Israelis backed down"
And the Israelis still don't have the kidnapped troops back.
"Yesterday, the former First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Alan West, said British rules of engagement were very much de-escalatory, because we dont want wars starting
Somebody tell the Brits thanks much for all their help and support through the years, but it's time for them to go home.
"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
Why didnt your guys defend themselves?
says it all IMO. Disgusting.
Thanks for support through the years thanks for coming Salem
I don't blame the Captain or crew. I blame the president of the US who called off the two F4C's that were enroute.
It means that Little Commander Horner is a blowhard
Our reaction was, Why didnt your guys defend themselves?I remember the same question being asked 20 years ago
By the way, if my response had overtones of irritation, it is because my dad did have a connection to CDR Bucher, and while the Captain of the USS Pueblo might not have been a top of the line Captain, he tried to do the best he could with what he had. Our military places value on the lives of its men...we generally don't require them to go down shooting in a hopeless cause, which is what that would have been.
I am very disappointed with the British reaction about this terrorist act against them which is in fact a declaration of war. The British are acting in a very meek and weak fashion regarding this.
called off the two F4C's that were enroute...
We were sure the US would do something.
I can't say much more without getting pissed off all over again.
What are the rules of engagement in this type of situation?
"The rules are very much de-escalatory, because we don't want wars starting. The reason we are there is to be a force for good, to make the whole area safe, to look after the Iraqi big oil platforms and also to stop smuggling and terrorism there.
So we try to downplay things. Rather then roaring into action and sinking everything in sight we try to step back and that, of course, is why our chaps were effectively able to be captured and taken away.
If we find this is going to be a standard practice we need to think very carefully about what rules of engagement we want and how we operate. One can't allow as a standard practice nations to capture a nation's servicemen. That is clearly wrong."
Yeah. My dad, in addition to being a friend (I kind of wanted to say drinking buddy) of CDR Bucher, was also the Security and Communications Officer at the time when we lived in Yokosuka, Japan. My dad spent two weeks straight in the Comm Hut on the base without coming home.

Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

Great radio!,
This review is from: Midland WR120/WR120EZ NOAA Weather Alert All Hazard Public Alert Certified Radio with SAME, Trilingual Display and Alarm Clock - Box Packaging (Electronics)
This is a really nice radio, with a great deal at Amazon.com! My home's household current glitches the radio on a 6-plug extender, but I fixed that by unplugging my iPad charger and the radio's power adapter, and plugging those into the regular outlet. When the 6-plug adapter was used, the antenna had to be in a certain position (even though it's by a window!) and now - any antenna position I want, it works like my WR-100 did - like a charm. It hasn't sounded yet, so I don't have a full review. (It came on test day, but wasn't opened until quarter of 3 PM. I'd recommend this radio to anyone who needs a radio and is WORTH EVERY PENNY!
This is a new version of the WR-100.
New features:
-Button Beeps On/Off Menu Option
-Weekly Test Siren On/Off Menu Option
-3 Languages (English, Spanish, French)
-Larger Screen
-5 alert lights per alert (5 lights per alert X 3 alerts = 15 lights), formerly 1 light per alert (1 light per alert X 3 alerts = 3 lights)
-New Warning Siren (Same as WR-100 and WR-300 except louder and slower)
Full review once I SEE an alert.

Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
The Boston Globe is reporting that the Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs seem to have the most interest in Pedro Martinez. Both teams have sent scouts down to the Dominican to see him pitch (hitting 94 mph with his fastball) and are beginning to explore just how much it might cost to sign the future HOF'er (I would hope). It's said he's looking for $5 million.
On the surface, it certainly wouldn't make much sense for the Cubs to be looking for another starting pitcher, considering that's been the strongest part of the team. But if the Cubs could sign Pedro, that could open them up to move another starting pitcher for a much needed bat...or two...or five. I would think Z and Dempster are pretty much locks to stay. Lilly would certainly draw interest from contenders but they would probably want to move prospects and that's probably not what the Cubs are looking for and Lilly does have some sort of no-trade clause. Rich Harden is a free agent at the end of the year, so he could be moved to a contender at the deadline, but you run into the same problem of that contender probably wanting to move prospects rather than established talent. So that leaves guys like Sean Marshall or Randy Wells or both and now you might be able to make some moves with teams out of the race and be left with Z, Dempster, Lilly, Harden and Pedro as your rotation. I know I could live with that starting staff.
All just a bit of fun speculating, but we need some fun after the last two days (Thanks to Wes for the link).
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Rob, they are saying he's throwing 94. Now, of course, it matters what that 94 actually looks like as it arrives on Sotos' mitt, but I don't think it's a bad idea if he has some sauce left in the gut.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
can he hit?
(Don Zimmer says yep)
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
I normally don't do LOLs but that is a classic.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Can Pedro be a closer?
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Cubs don't need a bat. Everything will be fine.
On a more serious note. If by some chance they play October baseball, Pedro would be an invaluable big-game pitcher. I don't know what makes a guy a big game pitcher and there's no way to quantify it, but you have to admit he would be one.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
If by some chance, indeed. But, you know, baseball isn't that much different than the NBA these days. Survive till the playoffs, then kick some fucking ass.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
It is fun speculating on this one, ROB G.
I have not looked at his last meaningful stats. Anything to speak of?
Also, which pitcher would be more valuable in a trade: the lefty Marshall - basically a 5th starter at best many would say, or, Randy Wells, an "out-of-nowhere" converted pitcher whom no-one has figured out yet?
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Pedro's stats from the past couple of years haven't been anything to write home about, but he'd been throwing 85-89 and not 93-96 like he used to.
If he's REALLY throwing 94, we're not talking Pedro of old, but we're talking about a guy who's a lot better than the 5.61 ERA and 1.57 WHIP he put up last year. 3 fewer K/9 and one more BB/9 than his career line. Obviously he's not going to pitch to his career line if he does pitch for somebody this year, but I think if they aren't lying about him throwing 94, he can be a very valuable arm for somebody.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
"converted pitcher" = converted catcher
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
If I'm another team I would be more interested in Randy Wells.
Re: On an unrelated note...
You obviously missed the Magic - Cadavers series.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
What about Vernon Wells for Zambrano?
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
I think it's possible that he'd like to in order to get away from the media scrutiny. You've to to punch your manager there to get into trouble.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Funny. I get the sense that Z likes talking to the media about 90% of the time, and loves being the center of attention.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
I get that sense, too. And this trade might make a ton of sense on paper, $, stats, all that. The problem is Z is the longest tenured player in the organization and he's the heart of the team. I know sometimes his antics are childish, but that's part of his charm.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Zzzzz why do we need to trade for Vernon Wells when we have Milton Bradley?
I wouldn't trade Zambrano at all, he has been this teams most reliable arm for the last 7 years. It is extremly difficult to find starters who year in and year out can do what Zambrano does.
I would like to take a flyer on Pedro but the time to do that was in spring training when Heilman, and Marshall were battling for the last spot and Randy Wells was still a nobody. Right now the only use we have for Pedro is in the bullpen which is where i think he could help us the most. Pay him 5 million for the rest of the year and see if he can just go balls out with his pitches and not have to worry about pacing himself for 6+ innings.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
What about three minor league pitching prospects for Derosa? I think we picked up a few good ones in trade this offseason.
Re: Mt. Lou Ready to Explode
NON Dustyism. What really pissed me off about Dusty is that he just didn't seem to give a rat's ass. Lou, even though he looks like he's been nailed by a pair of pretty trains, still has the tude.
Re: Mt. Lou Ready to Explode
you're going to be hard pressed to find much in the press with dustbag bashing a player or team....it's one of those things he's been vocal about not doing too much during his managerial career.
he sees himself at a f'n ninja master or something...glosses over the media crap and does his thing in kung fu mentoring sessions in the clubhouse, on the field, in the office, etc.
it's just his style...doesn't make for good reading during losing streaks, though.
Re: Mt. Lou Ready to Explode
"Lou, even though he looks like he's been nailed by a pair of pretty trains, still has the tude."
"nailed by a pair of pretty trains"... what does this mean? Am I missing a really cool double entendre? I'm mystified here.
Re: Mt. Lou Ready to Explode
You could tell he was just itching to get Theriot out of there when he worked that walk for a K in the...10th?
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
speculate about potential bats on the deadline market...
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
The main problem is... where are we going to put these bats? Assuming Aramis is back, you've got $10 million dollar players at all the positions other than SS, 2B and Catcher. I guess it could be argued that The Fontenaught/Miles could be upgraded at second...
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
The most obvious places to put some bats right now are 2B and RF. However, I think Fontenot will come around (I hope that Bradley will come around too, and not get injured), and the Cubs have committed a ton of money to Bradley. 1B would be another place, but Derrek Lee has picked up his offense lately (and has that NTC, plus we already have Hoffpauir and Fox waiting to get their turns).
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Is Slowey still throwing a boring 89MPH fastball? I think the Cubs should be able to hit him as long as he throws strikes. If he throws them in the dirt, however, they'll likely be shut down hacking at earthworm-height fastballs.

Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
You're totally right about that, no blockbuster deals this year with the owners dicking around with millions of dollars, balance sheets, and bankruptcy court.
I think Fox & Wells are legit trading chips and it would be nice to see them traded while their '09 numbers are still crazy good.
Kenny Williams was ranting about blowing up the team if they didn't start playing better. I think it was mainly B.S., but if he's serious Thornton would fit real nice into our bullpen.

Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
No way. I hope he keeps it up and proves me wrong. I don't feel he's starter material, but with his stature he's easy to underestimate.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
I don't think it's nonsense to speculate that Rich Harden will be moved this year. Does anyone actually see Hendry signing him to a long-term deal? He can't stay healthy, and even when he is he's not the 99 mph force he used to be.

That will make for some really long games potentially.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Isn't this about the time a team's hitting coach gets scapegoated? Thanks for the memories Gerald. Maybe we can bring back Sosa's guru - his name again? Or kick Von Joshua upstairs from Des Moines...
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
I am going to have to give Perry the benefit of the doubt, being that the Cubs lead the league in runs OBP last year.
Mostly we need to get two of our three outfielders going at the same time now that Lee, The Fontenaught and Soto seem to have bee released from the morgue. Bradley and Soriano are pressing, and Fukudome's got some mechanical problem, he's swinging at the correct pitches, just missing them.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
The team is pressing at the plate. A tense batter grips the bat a bit tighter and I believe they pull the bat in a little tighter, too. The result is Milton Bradley trying to hit the ball to South Holland, Michigan and either rolling over it or missing it all together.
You can see the guys loosen up after they score a few runs and they end up scoring a ton. That's why there's no middle ground with this crew. I don't know what you do. Mandatory 30 minutes in the jacuzzi before game time? Massages from Cindy Sandberg? Crotch massages from Ceasar Izturis? Who knows.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
That said, you can see Milton Bradley still pressing even when they are up a few runs. He has his own battle he's fighting with himself.
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
i said scapegoated; not that it's his fault any more than last year was his doing; just the old "you can't fire the whole team" thing...
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Pedro as a closer?
Re: Cubs Pursuing Pedro Martinez
Greg is 10/12 in save opportunities, 9/10 since April. He's not really the problem with the team.
Re: blanco
is blanco out of options?
DDP33:Yes, Andres Blanco is out of options.
And if the Cubs were to try and outright him back to Iowa, even if he isn't claimed by another MLB club off waivers, because he was previously outrighted in his career (by KC in October 2007) he would have the automatic right to become a free-agent immediately, or he could accept the outright assignment and defer his right to be a FA until after the end of the regular season.
If Blanco (or "Whitey,",as his teammates call him) did get outrighted and then deferred his right to be a FA until the end of the season, the Cubs could retain him by adding him back to their 40-man roster anytime before the end of the MLB regular season. If he is not added back to a 40-man roster by the end of the season, he would have the right to file for free-agency as an Article XX-C minor league FA starting on the day after the end of the MLB regular season up through October 15th.
BTW, most players who have the right to be a free-agent if they get outrighted defer their right to be a FA until after the season, because if the player opts for free-agency immediately, he unilaterally terminates his contract, and there is no guarantee he would get a better deal (or even the same deal) from somebody else. After all, before the player got outrighted, any of the other 29 clubs could have claimed him off waivers, but didn't.
That said, occasionally a player just wants out, either because he feels like he would have a better chance to eventually get back to the big leagues with another organization, or because he doesn't like the AAA manager, or the AAA town he's playing in, or who knows what.
In the case of Blanco, he chose to sign with the Cubs as a minor league FA both post-2007 AND post-2008, so the fact that he opted to come back for a second year at Iowa must mean he likes Des Moines OK, and that he likes the Cubs organization.
Re: blanco
Thank you!

Torres a late scratch from the Pelicans game and no word of injury or signs of foul play with the unis. May be a trade a brewing after all?
Edit: now word he was a late scratch due to a "headache". Hmmm
Hopefully Zobrist is regaining his stroke and KB can move back down to third or fourth in the order. Did not realize the zero rbi's in over a week - glad Rizzo and Russell picking up the slack
Just had to ask, I guess.
Haven't had a big comeback win in a long time (at least it seems like a long time). Great feeling!
Rizzo should hold clinics on 2-strike hitting. Awesome.
cubs lead in the top 7th!
so nastay...
triple, walk, domination
And he gets out of it by K-ing Braun, Lucroy and Carter!
Let's get some runs!
welcome to the cubs j.nathan.
2 pitches into the inning and there's a guy on 3rd with 0 outs (triple).
his velocity is hanging around 91/92mph.
Always a good idea to bring in Richard against a LH batter.
Russell left game with left heel contusion from foul ball on Saturday. Started to bother him during the Sunday game.
a.russell out and down into the clubhouse...no one knows why.
it's very hot on the field, so it might be heat related.
I blame the All-Star game again, or else Michael Barrett.
Miller park roof is closing. Hmmm, might play differently now?
Lester at 72 pitches through 3. Roof closing might get him through 6.
Middlebrows pulls a calf or hamstring. Len says he blew a tire rounding 1st. Nieuwenhuis enters game.
Now roof opening. Dizziness. No AC in the ballpark wrt the field.
just to lighten the mood:
Shark's day: 5.2 IP 5 Runs (all earned), 8 Hits, 2 HR. Left the game down 5-0 to Yankees.
Anyone expecting game 4 NLCS Shark vs Hammel or Lackey?
First inning: two on, no out, Rizz and Zobrist due up. Don't score.
Third inning: two on, one out, KB and Rizz due up. Don't score.
This is getting' old, fellahs.
KB still with ZERO RBI since the A/S break. Ouch.
62 through 2ip...yow.
it's an off day for d.ross, too. the wild pitch + passed ball in 2 separate strike 3 calls allowing the runner to reach 1st and the 5sb through 2ip makes for a bad game so far. ross cant shoulder any blame for some of those SBs, especially that villar steal of 3rd while lester watched him.

If we want both encryption and compression during transmission then what will be the most preferable order.
- Encrypt then compress
- Compress then encrypt
If we want both encryption and compression during transmission then what will be the most preferable order.
You should compress before encrypting.
Encryption turns your data into high-entropy data, usually indistinguishable from a random stream. Compression relies on patterns in order to gain any size reduction. Since encryption destroys such patterns, the compression algorithm would be unable to give you much (if any) reduction in size if you apply it to encrypted data.
Compression before encryption also slightly increases your practical resistance against differential cryptanalysis (and certain other attacks) if the attacker can only control the uncompressed plaintext, since the resulting output may be difficult to deduce.
EDIT: I'm editing this years later because this advice is actually poor in an interactive case. You should not compress data before encrypting it in most cases. A side-channel attack method known as a "compression oracle" can be used to deduce plaintext data in cases where the attacker can interactively cause strings to be placed into an otherwise unknown plaintext datastream. Attacks on SSL/TLS such as CRIME and BREACH are examples of this.
If you compress after encryption and the compression does any good (i.e. it really reduces the length by a non-negligible amount) then you can ditch the encryption, it is awfully weak. Encrypted text ought to be indistinguishable from randomness; even badly encrypted data cannot usually be compressed.
Therefore, compress before encryption. This is why protocols which deal with encryption usually include some support for compression, e.g. OpenPGP (section 5.6) and SSL/TLS. In some scenarios, compression can leak information about confidential data (because compression reduces length depending on the data, and encrypted length more or less matches plaintext length); this is the idea behind the new CRIME attack on SSL/TLS.
Fringe exception: if you encrypt a message with OpenPGP and then "ACSII armor" the result, i.e. encode it in Base64, then this encoding enlarges the data by 34%: 3 bytes become 4 characters (plus the odd newline). Compression with DEFLATE will be effective at cancelling this enlargement (thanks to Huffman codes). That's a case of usefulness of compression after encryption -- but, really, that's more compression over Base64, rather than compression over encryption.
I would recommend to first compress the data and than encrypt it.

Ariane was Hungarian director Paul Czinner's first talking picture. Starring in the title role is Czinner's charming wife, Elizabeth Bergner, likewise making her talkie debut. Young, naive Ariane sets herself for an emotional fall when she falls in love with Konstantin (Rudolf Forster), a much older and very married businessman. For his part, Konstantin regards the girl as just another harmless fling -- until he realizes a shade too late that he's really in love with her after all. Filmed in German, Ariane was simultaneously lensed in an English-language version, The Loves of Ariane. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

strategy on endocrine disruption
In 1996, a European workshop
organised in Weybridge, UK, bringing together
70 scientists and policy-makers from the EU, USA and
Japan as well as organisations such as the Organisation
for economic co-operation and development (OECD),
the World
Health Organisation (WHO), the European
Science Foundation (ESF) and the European
Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and non-governmental
organisations, concluded, among other things, that:
As a result of the workshop
findings and due to increasing public concern,
in 1998, the European
Parliament adopted a report and a resolution
on the topic of endocrine disruption, calling
upon the European Commission to take specific
actions, in particular with a view:
In 1999, the European Commissions
Committee for Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and the
Environment (SCTEE) presented its
opinion Human and wildlife health effects
of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, with emphasis
on wildlife and on ecotoxicology test methods,
which concluded that impaired reproduction
and development causally linked to endocrine-disrupting
chemicals are well documented in a number of
wildlife species and have caused local and population
changes. Public policy-makers were urged to
address this issue. It was proposed that the
European Commission adopt a strategy with short-,
medium- and long-term actions in order to respond
quickly and effectively to the problem.
As a consequence, in the same year, the European
Commission adopted a Communication
to the Council and European Parliament on a
Community Strategy for Endocrine Disrupters
[COM(1999)706 final,
PDF file - 167Kb]. Recommendations were made
for short-,
medium- and long-term actions.
In 2000, EU environment ministers,
meeting in the Council
of the EU adopted conclusions on the Commissions
Communication, in which it stressed the need
to develop quick and effective risk-management
strategies and the need for consistency with
the overall chemicals policy. The Council invited
the Commission to report back on the progress
of the work at regular intervals: the
first report was delivered in early 2001
[COM(2001)262, PDF file - 241 Kb]. A new report
is expected in 2004.
In 2000, the European Parliament
adopted a resolution on endocrine disrupters,
emphasising the application of the precautionary
principle and calling on the Commission
to identify substances for immediate investigation
and action.
Since 2000, the recommendations
outlined in the Commissions Communications,
by the Environment Council, and the European
Parliament, are being implemented through the
medium-, and long term strategy of the European
Commission, managed by the Directorate-General
for the Environment with research efforts
being supported by the Directorate-General
for Research.

France Biotech reports a 79% drop in equity investments during 2008 in biotech companies in the country relative to 2007. Last year France logged €143 million, or about $183 million, compared to €694 million, or roughly $892 million in 2007.
Investment in listed companies was €12 million in 2008, a 98% fall, according to French Biotech, an association of French life science companies and their partners. Venture capital investments in private companies was €132 million last year, 27% lower than in 2007.
France Biotech says that the trend for early 2009 appears to show continued degradation. "In order to underpin the optimism of our entrepreneurs, we must adopt an aggressive stimulus plan for young, innovative companies," remarks Philippe Pouletty, M.D., France Biotech's chairman. "Assuming that they can access finance, today's innovative SMBs will become tomorrow's multinationals and thus constitute an essential driver of strong, sustainable economic growth." The government has also reportedly weakened its support for young, innovative companies during 2009. The budget for the OSEO state innovation agency, a partner for innovative companies, has been cut by half to €320 million. Additionally, reform of the research tax credit led to an average annual reduction of 56% for biotech companies incorporated within the last five years, in view of changes in tax rates and the exclusion of OSEO refundable advances as eligible expenditures for the rebate. France Biotech recommends that the OSEO Innovation's budget for 2009 be doubled so that it returns to 2008 levels and that it gets tripled in 2010. It also suggests a reform of the CIR to distribute the research tax credit more equitably between SMBs and multinationals. Additionally, the association points out that attributing 50% of the government's Strategic Investment Fund to innovative French SMBs would enable them to acquire undervalued foreign companies and technologies. Finally, France Biotech recommends that the caps on tax-efficient investments be removed for young, innovative companies and the duration of the young innovative company fiscal status be extended from 8 to 15 years.

I was one of the last people to get on Facebook. Yep, I resisted. I was tweeting for at least a full year before I started with Facebook updates. I'm now "hip" with the times… which I will say isn't very "hip" of me to say.
Bottom line… why did I wait so long? I like it! I get to post weather info, and you get to see a different side to me than you see on TV, plus, the behind the scenes pics we share can be fun! I also like being able to talk "to" you instead of talking "at" you through the TV. I've gotten to know some really nice people! Plus… talking to friends during a newscast is fun!
Nonetheless, I find myself getting annoyed. Why? It's the wall posts that get to me. I don't like the quizzes that are posted… or the wall posts that are posted on my page that generally have nothing to do with me. Don't get me wrong… I appreciate the thought! But, if you want to have a conversation, shouldn't that be posted in a message, then I can respond? If I am totally off base here… please let me know! Again, I'm learning the ropes as is everyone… as this media evolves!
What I absolutely cannot stand: Petty arguments and rude comments. I see people getting in fights on threads that are supposed to start "thoughtful" conversations. Has our ability to be as anonymous as we want completely thrown common sense out the door? I never post anything on Facebook that I wouldn't say to someone's face… then again… I'm not using it as a tool to hurt people. You shouldn't hurt people's feelings just because you can.
Something else to consider… we are typing! Before you react… think about how something might be *said*. Sometimes, people are trying to be sarcastic… not hurtful… there's a difference.
Is anyone else with me on this? Maybe it's my OCD talking… I like to have everything neat and orderly and just how I designed it on my wall.

Rock, alternative, fun and catchy! All words that could describe Atlanta's own 'Sugar on the Dashboard.' Young, and ready to take over, they have already carved out a name for themselves in the ATL. They have headlined their own shows, as well as opened for touring bands. And, they are all in. This is the dream, and they are accepting nothing less than success in the music business, and they bill themselves as "your new favorite band." And, with the talent shown, they very well could be.
They have just completed an EP called Discovery is Dead, and the quality of not only the music, but the recording as well, they are on their way.
Sugar on the Dashboard are:
Brayden Gomer- Vocals/Guitar
Britt Spurka- Lead Guitar
Austin McEwen- Bass
Ryan Calatayud- Drums

Centuries of warfare had barely encroached upon Glamorgan's boundaries and any who dared its conquest met with bold resistance. Warriors lurking in the mountains of Wales invited all unwary trespassers to come and taste of death. Such was the case in 1316, when Edward II attempted to resurrect a United Kingdom after the execution of William Wallace.
As Edward and his Nobles would all too soon discover, the rage that English garrisons uncovered across the valleys of Wales would prove to rival any fury of the Scots.
W. B. Baker has done more through his writing to promote Wales around the world than anyone in recent memory. Stunning imagery and the ability to convey the warmth of Welsh culture combine with historical accuracy to bring Wales its finest champion since Dylan Thomas.
Shamelessly brutal in his examination of the human heart, W. B. Baker presents Britain a stunning masterpiece of fiction. The Ravenous is Baker's tour de force; the author using his considerable command of the English language to weave a majestic tale of valour and faith.
Couched inconspicuously within this modern epic of Wales lie affirmations of the true majesty of humankind … Within this moving tale, valiant men and women emerge from the mire of war to exemplify the inextinguishable courage of this nation we call home.
David McAlister in Kansas City, Missouri
I feel that Dr. Baker is not only a very gifted author, he is also one of the most interesting and compassionate individuals it has been my good fortune to call friend.
Mitchell in New York, New York
Great to see people talking about this author!
I agree - The Ravenous - is probably Baker´s strongest work so far. In-depth historical research into Edward II and a compelling storyline. GREAT BATTLE SCENES and some of the best poetry I´ve come across in years.
Gillian in Edinburgh, Scotland
WHSmith now offers THE RAVENOUS and several of his other books! I couldn´t find them at several bookstores, but they are all available on the internet.
REALLY Brilliant writing!
A touching account (The Ravenous) of a father and daughter trying to come to deal with war and its effect on their lives. Extremely well researched.
Some of the best British storytelling out there!
Geoffrey Crawley from London, England
An extremely competent writer who has combined engrossing historical fiction with, undoubtedly, the finest iambic pentametre verse England has seen in the last hundred years.
In The Ravenous, Baker uses the character of the Welsh poet to give us compelling moral principles such as:
My Lord, the simplest truth may miss man's groans
When he, in conquest of mere piece of land,
Forgets he fights above his father's bones,
And only briefly in the sun may stand.
Despite the gains of life, his finite hand
May only once caress the timeless stone,
That stands forever, top the Dark Unknown.

That is the actual dead involving winter as well as you possess been asleep. After that you are usually stirred by simply the impression that some thing has only gone incorrect, but an individual cannot instantly find everything obvious within the residence. You listen to the winds forced outside and also see the particular frost in the house windows, but the particular house is usually warm as well as so anyone go again to sleep, sliding underneath your blanket. Several short minutes later an individual find oneself up yet again, only to be able to find in which the property has instantly turned significantly cooler as well as the air conditioner has removed silent. Oh no, you may require Heating and Cooling Repair.
The actual first assumed is in order to pick way up the cell phone and call up for urgent situation Heating and AC Repair. However before anyone spend some sort of single $ on the early morning hours service contact, there are generally a range of apparent things an individual can verify that may possibly require anyone to call up someone otherwise other when compared with a central heater service tech. These tend to be simple items and measures that have got been consumed that anyone can explain to the urgent situation furnace assistance technician any time he reaches its destination. First, examine to view if the particular thermostat will be properly established and doing work. You might find in which it will be something because simple while someone within the home was messing with the actual thermostat simply because they had been too frosty or as well warm. This kind of is a single of all those situations that will require home resolution.
Up coming, make confident the electrical power power within the home is in. Furnaces and also thermostats work on electric power, and possibly if your own furnace will be heating typically the intake air flow, if right now there is absolutely no way to be able to circulate that will air through the home then the actual efficiency regarding your water heater will not really matter significantly. Try switching the temp up many degrees – enough for you to force this to change on. After that go for you to where the particular furnace is usually and view if the idea is running properly. Furthermore listen intended for the supporter and always be sure that is correctly working and also a person don't need HVAC Repair. When all regarding this is actually okay, subsequently take the speedy expedition of the particular property for you to make positive there are generally no unusual open doorways or damaged windows. In the course of the coldest of winter months nights this does not necessarily take any lot to be able to drain warmth from your current home.

New Exec... who dis?
Not only did January bring is a newly initiated members and a new semester... BUT we got our new Executive Board. They are pretty kool kats. Yes, that is cool with a "k" because they are just that special
! We have some great new leaders in our midst. These bodacious babes took some time to talk about their new position and what they love about Chi Omega. Without further ado here is the new exec of 2016!
Ivee: President
Chi O is a place that I can go and be myself but also makes me want to be a better version of myself. The women push you to be the best you can possibly be in every aspect of life. I love the endless support system that it offers to everyone. ❤ I'm excited to be the President of Chi Omega this coming semester! It has been a dream of mine to be Elle Woods and now I have that chance!
Jenna: Vice President
I am so honored to have been chosen by my sisters to be the Vice President of Chi Omega! When I first walked through the doors of Chi O during recruitment, I knew instantly that this was the house I wanted to be a part of. From the trips abroad, to the movie nights and of course the endless food runs, my sisters have always been there for me and these are the memories that I will never forget. Over the last few years, this house really has become a "home away from home" for me and that is why I am so excited to serve on the executive board and give back to the girls that have given me so much.
Julianne: Treasurer
I am excited to work with exec and get to know Chi O in a more in depth way. I hope that we can set a high standard for who Chi O women are, and that we inspire the chapter to go the extra mile and make every week in college count! Chi O has brought me some of my dearest friends and I know that we'll be friends for a very long time. This sorority has helped become a better woman. I know that these women have pushed me and I'm so very grateful for them.
Taylor: Secretary
ChiO has helped me go outside of my comfort zone, introduced me to the best people and has made my college experience better than I ever expected! I love Greek life and all the opportunities you are exposed to through it. I'm excited to be the secretary because I know it will make me love ChiO more than i already do. I know it will challenge me and teach me skills that I will be able to apply to my life outside of ChiO! I'm determined to do my best and make ChiO better!
Ashton:Personell Chair
I love Chi Omega for so many reasons. ChiO is my home and I feel my happiest when I'm there. The friendships I've made with my sisters will last forever and they make every day a good day. ChiO has enhanced my college experience in every way!
Jenna Jean: Recru
itment Chair
I love Chi Omega because it has literally changed my life. I know that sounds so cliche but it's so true. ChiO has
brought amazing girls into my life that I'll be friends with forever. This girls
help me a better person every day and pushes me to be the best I can be.
I am so excited to be the new Recruitment Chair for 2016! It is such an amazing feeling knowing that they believe in me and I won't let them down! I am so excited to get everyone to be as PUMPED as I am for recruitment. This year I hope that we sing (or scream) louder, smile bigger, and have the time of our lives! I am so lucky to be apart of this chapter and apart of this exec!
Abby: New Member Educator
I don't even know where to begin to explain how much I love Chi O. I think I would die without it to be completely honest. It has brought me the most amazing friends I could have ever asked for and I've had the best opportunities and experiences because of it. I couldn't imagine college without Chi O. I am so insanely excited to be apart of exec and to be the new member educator. I want to be close with every new member and make their experience with Chi O as good as mine has been!
Olivia: Panhellenic Delegate
I'm stoked to be a part of this amazing sisterhood. I can't believe that I get to call these girls my sister and that I get to work so exec and make our sisterhood even better. Chi Omega has made me into a better woman and it has helped me encourage me to reach for my dreams. I'm excited to be the Panhellenic Delegate. I love being able to dedicate my time to this amazing group of women. Love you all and can't wait for the upcoming year!
And there you have it. The women who are going to lead us into the next year with ferocity and love. As Zeus would say to the muse's "Go get 'em girls!"

A Torturous Test for Bush's Judge Picks
Besides tax-code revision, the appointment of judges is probably the most obscure, elite, yet hugely impactful process that unfolds in the hallowed halls of federal government. The ordinary person could not be farther removed from an official decision that may drastically affect his or her daily life. Or drastically affect the life of some other poor soul.
In a Newsday op-ed this week, American University law professor Herman Schwartz connects the dots that lead from the Bush administration torture memos to the president's current or future judicial picks. Those memos, crafted after Defense and Justice Department lawyers returned from prospecting along the outer edges of human decency and international anti-torture agreements, directed U.S. captors' controversially harsh treatment of detainees in the current wars.
For instance, Schwartz points out that Jay Bybee, as a senior Justice Department lawyer, wrote the controversial August 2002 memosince repudiated by the administrationthat parsed the law on torture to forbid only those acts leading to physical damage "such as organ failure." President Bush appointed Bybee to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals a year later.
Conservatives have cried foul over political opposition to Bush's judicial nomineesalthough they are happy to smear the "activist judge" epithet all over anyone in a robe interested in vindicating gay equality, due process at criminal sentencing, or a woman's right to choose.

But considering politics at the judicial nomination stage or earlier is not only OK, but a crucial last chance. Once confirmed, the federal judge is a politically insulated actor for life, and with good reason. No one wants judges interpreting laws, or especially the Constitution, based on poll numbers or pundits, since the right thing to do is sometimes extremely unpopular (take the desegregation of public schools in the Deep South).
Merely because a judge came in as a conservative fave doesn't mean that he or she will always be a party faithful, although it doesn't mean that he or she won't. But just as the president and Senate appoint judges without any guarantees, only a good sense of what they will do once on the bench, so the voters pick presidents.
The next president will probably nominate at least two Supreme Court justices and dozens of lower-court judges. The torture trail provides a good sense of how President Bush and his picks think in one area. Voters should hear more from him and opponent John Kerry on the judiciary each envisions.
