Released: 25 Aug 1999
Pilots from the 926th Fighter Wing, Naval Air Station New Orleans Joint Reserve Base, La., will fly four unit A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft to Southwest Asia in late August in support of Operation Southern Watch, the enforcement of the no-fly zone over southern Iraq. They will join A-10 pilots and aircraft from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, in the deployment, which will pre-position the A-10s for Aerospace Expeditionary Force 1, Oct. 1 to Nov. 30.
As the lead Reserve wing, the 926th FW will primarily support the first 30 days of AEF 1, and the 442nd FW, Whiteman AFB, Mo., will cover the second month. Six Reserve pilots, supported by aircraft maintainers, will be deployed at any given time during AEF 1 and will share aircraft and equipment with the active-duty unit as a "rainbow" organization.
"Our aircrews and aircraft maintainers are used to rainbow packages," said Lt. Col. John Woerly, Reserve EAF project officer. "The Reserve and Air National Guard have been sharing equipment and intermingling crews on deployments since the early 1990s."
Woerly said the aircraft will remain in place during the AEF deployment period, saving millions of dollars in aviation fuel, maintenance, and paychecks by avoiding repeated trans-Atlantic flights. At many deployment locations, supporting equipment will stay overseas for even longer periods. The Air Force will shift to a 90-day deployment schedule, starting with AEF 3 and 4.
Reserve participation will peak during AEF 8, involving nearly 20 aircraft, dozens of aircrews and supporting aircraft maintainers. Serving as the Reserve's lead fighter wing, the 419th FW, Hill AFB, Utah, will deploy eight F-16s to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, for Operation Northern Watch. Also supporting Northern Watch on a rotational basis are KC-135E's and aircrews from the 927th ARW, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Mich., and the 940th ARW, Beale AFB, Calif.; and KC-135R's and aircrews from the 434th ARW, Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. An E-3 crew from the 513th Air Control Group, Tinker AFB, Okla., will support Northern Watch for part of the 90-day period. Six C-130 airlift aircraft and crews will take part in Operation Joint Forge, military operations in part of the former Republic of Yugoslavia, during part of AEF 8.
KC-10 aircrews from the Reserve's 514th Air Mobility Wing, McGuire AFB, N.J., will provide air refueling for AEFs 1, 5 and 9, and the Reserve's 349th AMW, Travis AFB, Calif., will perform the same Operation Southern Watch job for AEFs 3 and 7.
Four KC-135R's, crews and support people from the 507th Air Refueling Wing, Tinker AFB; 916th ARW, Seymour Johnson AFB, N.C.; and 931st Air Refueling Group, McConnell AFB, Kan., will support Operation Deliberate Forge during AEF 3.
Three HH-60G helicopters, aircrews and aircraft maintainers from the 301st Rescue Squadron, Patrick AFB, Fla.; 304th RQS, Portland International Airport, Ore.; and 305th RQS, Davis Monthan AFB, Ariz., will participate in AEF 6. They will deploy to Incirlik AB to support Operation Northern Watch.
During AEF 10, an HC-130 aircraft, crew and crew chiefs from the 39th RQS, Patrick AFB, and 303rd RQS, Portland IAP, will deploy to Keflavik in support of the Defense of Iceland. All five rescue squadrons are part of the 939th Rescue Wing at Portland. Two B-52H's with two crews from the 917th Wing, Barksdale AFB, La., will pull alert duty at home station during AEF 7.
As part of AEF 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, three to six Reserve C-130 airlift aircraft and four to eight crews along with aircraft maintainers will continue to deploy year round to Muniz ANG Base, Puerto Rico, in support of U.S. Southern Command's Operation Coronet Oak. (Courtesy of AFRC News Service)

Language(s): Greek, Turkish
Capital: Nicosia

- The national anthem of Cyprus is called 'Hymm', which is incidentally the national anthem of Greece as well.
- The United Kingdom still has control over 3% of the island.
- Cyprus has abundant sunshine for almost 300 days every year.
- The weather of Cyprus is mild. It has a Mediterranean sort of climate, with sunshine even during the winter months and very little rainfall. During the summer season, the temperatures can go as high as 40C.

Cyprus, officially the Republic of Cyprus, is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, east of Greece, south of Turkey, west of Syria, Lebanon, northwest of Israel and north of Egypt. Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, a member state of the European Union.
The earliest known human activity on the island dates back to around the 10th millennium BC. Archaeological remains from this period include the well-preserved Neolithic village of Khirokitia, which has been declared a World Heritage Site with an "enhanced protection" status in the event of armed conflict by UNESCO, along with the archaeological sites of Paphos and the Painted Churches of the Troodos Region. Cyprus is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world.
Cyprus was settled by Mycenean Greeks in two waves in the 2nd millennium BC. As a strategic location in the Middle East, it was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the empires of the Assyrians, Egyptians, and Persians, from whom the island was seized in 333 BC by Alexander the Great. Subsequent rule by Ptolemaic Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Byzantines, Arab caliphates for a short period, the French Lusignan dynasty, and the Venetians, was followed by the Ottoman conquest in 1571. It remained under Ottoman control for over three centuries. Cyprus was placed under British administration in 1878 until it was granted independence in 1960, becoming a member of the Commonwealth the following year.
In 1974, seven years after the intercommunal violence between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, an attempted coup d'état by Greek Cypriot nationalists and elements of the Greek military junta with the aim of achieving enosis (union of the island with Greece) took place. Turkey used this as a pretext to invade the northern portion of the island. Turkish forces remained after a cease-fire, resulting in the partition of the island; an objective of Turkey since 1955. The intercommunal violence and subsequent Turkish invasion led to the displacement of over 150,000 Greek Cypriots and 50,000 Turkish Cypriots, and the establishment of a separate Turkish Cypriots political entity in the north. These events and the resulting political situation are matters of ongoing dispute.
The Republic of Cyprus has de jure sovereignty over the island of Cyprus and its surrounding waters, except for the British Overseas Territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, administered as Sovereign Base Areas. However, the Republic of Cyprus is de facto partitioned into two main parts; the area under the effective control of the Republic, comprising about 59% of the island's area, and the Turkish-controlled area in the north, calling itself the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and recognised only by Turkey, covering about 36% of the island's area. The international community considers the North as occupied territory of the Republic of Cyprus.
Cyprus is the third most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of its most popular tourist destinations. An advanced, high-income economy with a very high Human Development Index, the Republic of Cyprus was a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement until it joined the European Union on 1 May 2004. On 1 January 2008, the Republic of Cyprus joined the Eurozone.

Armchair...more to the point why would Laudrup be willing to sell on the supposed lynchpin of the spine of his team?...because he knows he can con BR into paying over the odds for him where no one else will...this simply cos BR's desire to sign yet another of his ex players hes managed is strong. Then with the transfer kitty topped up Laudrup can replace Williams with...someone he KNOWS to be better and their u also have your answer as to why Chelsea UniTURD and City are not in for him.

(Port Angeles) -- A judge has set bail at 1-million dollars for a man accused of destroying three homes with a bulldozer during a rampage in Port Angeles.
The Peninsula Daily News reports that Clallam County Superior Court Judge Erik Rohrer scheduled a hearing Wednesday during which formal charges are expected to be filed against 51-year-old Barry Swegle.
Swegle was arrested Friday for investigation of assault and malicious mischief after neighbors told police he climbed aboard a bulldozer and took out the homes, crushed a pickup truck and knocked down a utility pole, cutting power to thousands. No injuries were reported.
Investigators say he was apparently motivated by a long-running property-line dispute.
Swegle told the judge Monday that he would try to hire his own lawyer.

Ernesto Valverde's reign as Valencia manager began with a 1-0 win at Osasuna thanks to a poacher's finish from Roberto Soldado.
Soldado netted nine minutes into the second half after Pablo Piatti's mis-hit cross came into his path off the woodwork.
Osasuna tried to level but chances were few and far between as a poor match concluded without incident, Valencia closing out a victory that puts them in the top half of the table.
A dire first half ended goalless as both sides failed to get their passing together, Osasuna renowned for their defensive work and Valencia struggling to get a sniff.
Indeed, there was only one shot on target – from Osasuna midway through the first half – although Valencia picked up the pace late in the period as Soldado, Tino Costa and Sofiane Feghouli put wide from good positions.
Otherwise it was a long-ball state of affirs, with neither side really using their talented midfields effectively as passes tended to switch from defence to attack.
The second half started somewhat brighter as Alejandro Arribas's goal-bound header was cleared off the line by Pablo Piatti, while Soldado profited from a quickly taken set-piece down the other end as he was denied by Andres Fernandez.
When the opener came it was fortuitous to say the least – Piatti's cross was dreadful, but it swung off the top of the bar into Soldado's path, the arch poacher making no mistake from close range.
Osasuna tried to battle back but the lack of opportunity in the game was no accident – Valencia sat deep to rebuff the hosts' advances, Joseba Llorente putting one effort over, while Roland Lamah forced a good save from Diego Alves, his first of note.
The final minutes descended back into a dirge as fouls, poor passing and a lack of creative inspiration saw little of note impact either end, aside from a Fernandez save when Soldado greedily shot instead of picking out the unmarked Jonathan Viera.
Defeat means Osasuna could fall into the relegation zone if results go against them on Sunday, while Valencia are on 21 points with a cluster of teams just outside the European places.

The ability to locate and operate utility shutoffs will increase safety and reduce property damage in a disaster situation.
Natural Gas:
- Natural gas leaks can cause an explosive and flammable atmosphere inside a building.
- The main shutoff valve is next to the main gas meter, usually located on the exterior of your home or building.
- If you smell gas, shut off the main valve and open all windows and doors.
- Only turn off the gas if you smell a leak. Another indicator of a leak is if the unmarked wheels on the gas meter are spinning.
- Never use candles or matches. Do not turn on electrical switches or appliances.
- To turn gas off, turn the lever 1/4 turn; when lever crosses the direction of the pipe (across the flow) the gas is off.
- Keep a crescent wrench or gas shut-off tool nearby to turn the lever.
- Once you turn off the gas it may take several days for it to be turned back on.
Electricity can be deadly. Electrocution can result from direct contact with live wires or anything that has been energized by these wires. Know where your home's main electric switch is. It may be a pull handle or very large circuit breakers inside the panel box.
Shut off electricity when
- Arcing or burning occurs in electrical devices
- You smell the distinct odor of burning insulation
- The area around switches or plugs is blackened and/or hot to the touch
- The complete loss of power is accompanied by the smell of burning material.
Water not only creates property damage, but it can also cause electrocution if electrical wires energize it. An inside water shutoff is usually located in the basement, garage, or alley. The inside water shutoff is located on a riser pipe and is usually a red or yellow wheel. In either case, to shut off the water, turn wheel clockwise until off. Shut off the water when there is a severe leak inside the building.

Bush sees Congress making progress on immigration
The Senate has passed legislation that combines the promise of citizenship for those living in the United States unlawfully with increased border security.
Asked whether the GOP would suffer if immigration legislation died, Bush said the reason to pass it isn't to bolster the Republican Party but to fix the system.

PORTSMOUTH — The City Council unanimously supported the efforts of preservation groups to place the Memorial Bridge on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places."
Richard Candee, vice president of the Portsmouth Historical Society, has asked the trust to include the bridge on the 2009 list, which will be announced in the spring. It has the support of Historical Society, Maine Preservation Alliance, New Hampshire Preservation Alliance and the New Hampshire Historical Society and now it has the city.
"I think this is something we all need to get behind," saidcouncilor Ken Smith. "There's so much history to that bridge."
The distinction does not provide additional funding, but past landmarks have seen preservation efforts gain significant funding from other sources after being placed on the list. The trust boasts that, since 1988, more than 200 sites have been identified and only six have been destroyed.
Councilor Chris Dwyer said the pedestrian and bicycle access the bridge provides between Kittery, Maine, and Portsmouth is important to the communities — particularly the business community.
The Kittery Town Council voted 4-3 against supporting Candee's efforts earlier this month. Candee said he believed there may have been confusion as to the impact the support would have on future considerations concerning the bridge.
Portsmouth City Attorney Bob Sullivan said the council's vote does not preclude it from supporting another option in the future if it so chooses.
Candee said he would have moved forward with the application regardless of Monday's vote, but he's happy to have the council's support.
The states of Maine and New Hampshire are planning to spend the next year studying the various travel options between the two communities, including possibly removing both lift bridges and replacing it with a new high level bridge.

After 19 years as head coach of the Osseo-Fairchild football program, Dan Waters stepped down, retiring at the end of the past school year. Long-time assistant Eric Boettcher took over for the Thunder, a team that went 4-4 overall in 2012, 3-4 in the Cloverbelt.
Boettcher says he will implement some new wrinkles to the Osseo-Fairchild offense, but says the key to his success is working hard every day in practice but more importantly, having fun, "Transition-wise it's a little different especially being the head coach, you have a little more responsibility, got to do a few more contacts but at the same time, I've been with Dan for 20 years and watched him for a number of those so I want to bring some enthusiasm, high-powered type of offense as far as diversity and have the kids have fun."
Eleva-Strum begins year two under coach Chad Hanson, the Cardinals coming off a 2012 season in which they missed out on the playoffs by one win, losing to Melrose-Mindoro in the final game of the year. Hanson says his kids are excited about getting the program back into the post-season, "I hope it's a hunger for them, Eleva-Strum football was in the playoffs from 2002-2008, it was an every year thing, obviously they won state that one year, they went to state was runner-up... I believe that the kids are hungry, I'm hungry to get Eleva-Strum football back on top where it needs to be.
Senior Alex Larson agrees, "We're really hungry, it was a huge disappointment last year not to make the playoffs, we worked our butts off trying to get where we were so we're coming back this year hungry and are going to work hard to get back into them."

BANGKOK -– Thai protesters gathered in central Bangkok on Sunday to rally against the government and an amnesty bill they fear would clear charges against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and bring him back from self-imposed exile.
Protesters, estimated to number a few thousands, turned up at Bangkok's Lumpini Park at a rally organized by "People's Army to Overthrow Thaksin Regime," a coalition of ultra-royalist and anti-Thaksin groups.
The protesters said they believed that Mr. Thaksin is actively engaged in Thai politics through his sister, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. He was toppled in a military coup in 2006 amid corruption charges.
"We must uproot Thaksin's regime," said Mayuree Choompakwan, a vendor from Nakhon Ratchasima province, 160 miles from Bangkok. "He's very corrupt, and we have to make sure he won't be able to come back."
The simmering anti-Thaksin sentiment has flared up since Ms. Yingluck's Pheu Thai party -– Mr, Thaksin's former Thai Rak Thai party –- won the election in 2011. The movement has morphed into different groups under various monikers. Most protesters of the "People's Army" movement are also supporters of the Yellow Shirts, an original anti-Thaksin movement that staged major street rallies against the ex premier before the coup.
Sunday's rally by the "People's Army" was triggered by a push by the Pheu Thai party's lawmakers to begin deliberating on an amnesty draft bill in the Lower House this coming Wednesday.
The bill would exonerate protesters involved in demonstrations from 2006 until May last year. However, the protesters said they fear that the bill would whitewash Mr. Thaksin's corruption charges and pave the way for his return to power. They also worry that the bill would clear charges against those who violated the country's strict lese majeste laws, which prohibit criticism or comments deemed insulting to the monarchy with a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
"Whoever committed wrongdoings (has) to be responsible for their actions," said Passapitch Akaraweerakitt, a 59-year-old protester from Bangkok, who, like many fellow protesters, owns a yellow headband printed with an image of Thailand's King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Many anti-Thaksin protesters claimed that Mr. Thaksin has a brash political style that undermined the monarchy and other institutions – an accusation that Mr. Thaksin has denied.
Last week, King Bhumiphol left the hospital for the first time in almost four years for his seaside palace. He has been under medical supervision for various kinds of ailments, and his return to the palace prompted thousands of well-wishers to send him off from the hospital and welcome his return in Hua Hin, where his residence is located.
Pheu Thai's spokesman said the purpose of the amnesty bill is to promote reconciliation in the country, which has been deeply divided since the 2006 coup. The bill won't exonerate those who made decisions, those who ordered political action during the period, or even Mr. Thaksin, the spokesman said.
"The protesters distorted the purpose of the amnesty bill because they want an excuse to protest the government," said Prompong Nopparat, the party's spokesman
Jade Donavanik, dean of Siam University's Graduate School of Law, said the draft bill will continue to be controversial because it's not clear who will benefit from it.
"Once the Parliamentary debate begins, one can expect that the context of the bill can change," he said, adding that the government should postpone the draft bill because it's not an urgent issue. Up until now, only some protest leaders have been put in jail, but no charges have been pressed against protesters, he said.
"Except Mr. Thaksin, I don't think the protesters (of previous demonstrations) need the amnesty bill," he said.
The Thai government last week approved a special security law to prevent the protesters from camping out in front of the parliament since the new parliamentary session convened last week. Police were deployed to protect government buildings and put on standby.
Several street rallies since the 2006 have led to unrest and violence. In 2010, more than 90 people, mostly supporters of Mr. Thaksin who joined the Red Shirts movement, were killed as a result of military crackdown.

If I were the terrorists who planned last week's attack, by this time I'd be on a freighter that goes around the world for six months. That's the best way I know to throw George W. off the trail until things cool down. It's foolish to start an all-out war until you find the terrorists.
Here where I live all the neighbors are saying the same thing. Thank God Al Gore wasn't in the White House when that terrible thing happened Tuesday. He's so hard-headed, he would have gone right out and started pushing buttons and we'd have been dropping bombs or something all over the whole world. He has no brains at all.
I am very impressed with the way President Bush is handling this crisis. I agree with him that justice must be served so our freedom can prevail and so terrorism can be eradicated.
I don't believe that I've heard the words African-American this week. I hope I never hear this word again. We're all Americans!
As I was reading the Sept. 16 editorial, I thought about how the United States is a very diversified country. One thing we should be very proud of is the differences we are willing to accept in people. We are not a country that is divided because of our differences. We are united because of our differences and we have the ability to live in that. I want us, as American citizens, to stop and take the time to forgive people who cut in front of us on the road. We are one. We are a united nation. We need to throw away all of our anger with American citizens for things they do to anger us. We do not understand, nor do we comprehend how small those differences are to us when someone cuts us off on the road, or when someone cuts in front of us in line. Those things are so important. I've read many times in SpeakOut when we are so angered at our neighbors about little things that mean nothing to us now. We have to stand behind our country. We have to stand behind our servicemen. I have a son-in-law who is waiting to go and have two grandsons who are sad because they don't know what their daddy is doing, where he's at or when he's going to be back. I have a daughter-in-law whose true love is out there and is fighting for us. He is on standby. He knows exactly where he's going but we don't know. This is very hard for my husband and me. This will be a very scary time for all of us. But the thing we have to stop and think about is that we are a nation and we are united. As much as I'd like to take the coward's way out and say don't do anything so we don't go to war, we have to stand up for what we believe. And we have to stand up for what my son-in-law is doing. I want everybody to stop and give others a little more patience and understanding.
God bless our President! God bless America and guide our President, our leaders, our service men and women and their families. This is a time for our country to come together in unity.

Original Article – November 30, 2015
Sterling, Va. (November 30, 2015) — As Kirk Cousins has been known to ask, "You like that?!?"
The answer, of course, is a resounding and emphatic Yes.
There's everything to like. Charity. Dignity. Opportunity. Community. Human beings helping each other, wanting in return only a mutual realization of success and sense of purpose.
That's the goal of The Dons' Wood-Fired Pizza in the Cascades Marketplace in Sterling, Virginia, which hosted its annual Serve-N-Sign Nov. 30 featuring seven current and one former Washington Redskins football players serving up piping hot pizza slices, pouring cold drinks and happily chatting with hundreds of star-struck burgundy-clad customers.
The evening generated more than $3,000 in proceeds to directly benefit the Open Hearts Foundation, a locally based outreach charity which seeks to serve the needs of underprivileged and at-risk youth across Loudoun County, as well as providing educational and technological support to poverty-stricken regions of Africa.
Some 920 pizza slices were handed out to more than 300 hungry visitors, who braved the nipping cold and drizzling rain for the chance to be served by their heroes.
So much to like. Captain Kirk was among the event's guest celebrities, dishing up pizza and giving broad smiles to his many adoring fans. He took a moment to answer his own hypothetical question.
"It's a lot of fun to see the fans with smiles on their faces," said Cousins, participating in pizza establishment's nine-year-old event for the fourth time. "It's a wonderful activity to do with my teammates and support the community. It's a great experience and it makes a difference in a positive way."
The quarterback was joined behind the counter by teammates Kedric Golston, Frank Kearse, Nick Sundberg, Will Compton, Trent Murphy, Adam Hayward and former teammate Rocky McIntosh, now on the football staff of Oakton's Flint Hill School. Several of those guys are frequent volunteers at The Dons' Serve-N-Sign event; a few were first-timers.
"Hey, how you doin'? Come on over!" exclaimed Cousins excitedly to one fan he recognized.
"Great shirt," complimented Compton to a woman sporting a Skins no. 21 jersey of the dearly departed Sean Taylor. "What would you like to drink?"
The Skins even mustered up politeness for the poor fellow in the New York Giants windbreaker.
Golston has worked with The Dons' charity event every single year since the pizzeria's owner, Waleed Zarou, first held it. He has been instrumental in bringing fellow Redskins with him to the delicious charity benefit.
"Waleed's just trying to give back, both domestically and abroad. He's all about serving others," said the veteran nose tackle, a resident of Ashburn, amid fulfilling requests for pepperoni or sausage. "We have it so well here in the U.S., sometimes you can take for granted what you have. This holiday season, this gives us a chance to help somebody, and that makes you feel good on the inside."
Zarou has become friendly with several Redskins since initiating the event almost a decade ago. He expressed his appreciation for the players lending their time and their notoriety to aid the cause of Open Hearts.
"I think it speaks to their character, the caliber of men they are, using the platform they have to reach the community," the business owner said. "They don't have a lot of time during the season, but they take it as a serious responsibility and do right by it. You can talk about doing something, but actions speak louder than words. They demonstrate by their actions that they care, they care enough to come out to this little pizza place in Loudoun County and give two hours of their time.
"Plus they really enjoy themselves, and that means a lot to me," Zarou continued. "They even jumped in the kitchen and just about took over the place. They got the knack pretty quick for making pizzas."
After an hour of dishing up The Dons' unique wood-fired pizza topped with choice of meats or vegetables, the professional athletes adjourned to a long table out the restaurant's side door where a parade of fans sought autographs and a snippet of conversation.
The Dons' event also included a raffle promoting many of the services and products of its sponsors, such as Gold's Gym, i9 Sports, Dulles Golf, Giant Food and Sportrock Climbing Center.
The event is an extension of Zarou's personal Christianity-guided philosophy. A deacon at Sterling's Calvary Temple Church and a chaplain under the guise of the International Fellowship of Chaplains, he is a veteran of charitable causes in war-torn regions of Central and South America, and personally delivers computer and other equipment to villages in Kenya, supporting schools and training programs.
Closer to home, Open Hearts works with local governments to reach kids at increased likelihood to become involved in gangs, drugs and other criminal or dangerous activity.
Open Hearts is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization run entirely by volunteers and seeks to help children realize better lives, whether locally in Loudoun or globally in Africa. It was begun by Zarou and fellow entrepreneurs Tony Schwartz and Danny Johnson.
"Open Hearts provides academic, vocational and spiritual training both here and abroad. We have an organization in place to help little kids all the way up through young adults," Schwartz said. "Having the Redskins involved has been absolutely fantastic for us. Each year, the fans have come and they've been generous. It's great to see the folks in Loudoun County recognize that they've been given a lot, and they're looking for opportunities to give back."
Zarou noted the smiles on the faces of kids streaming through the pizza line, getting to look in the eye the same players they'd admired on TV.
"You can't go wrong serving your fellow man. That's what we do this for," Zarou said. "This is what Christmas is all about."
Preparations for next year's event at The Dons', including retaining sponsorships from vendors, requisitioning a football signed by the Redskins team and extending invitations to other players and local celebrities, are already underway.

Sterling, VA (Jan. 4, 2015) – During the holiday season, it's not uncommon to witness a line of hundreds of people camped outside a storefront eagerly awaiting it's doors to open. Although, with no major electronic chains or retail superstores to anchor the Cascades Marketplace in Sterling, VA, a barricaded street to accommodate such a line that wrapped around the building may spark one's curiosity.
On a mild mid-December evening such an event took place. The draw of the evening was pizza; not just any pizza, but Dons' Wood Fired Pizza served by Washington Redskins players! This year's servers were Redskin favorites, Alfred Morris, Kedric Golston, Logan Paulsen, Shawn Lauvao, Trent Murphy, Spencer Long,
and Isaako Aaitui.
The free Christmas dinner was sponsored to support the Open Heart Foundation, an organization whose mission is to help impoverished people improve their quality of life through academic, vocational and spiritual training. Open Heart uses the "teach a man to fish" philosophy to help people around the world obtain a better education, learn job skills and become business owners. Contributions have led to the establishment of 40 churches and a K-12 vocational school system across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The evening's host and owner of Dons', Waleed Zarou has sponsored this benefit for 6 years now. "I believe in directing one's energies upwards," Zarou said. "With so many blessings, it's (our) responsibility to give back to both empower and impact the community." Asked how he got the Redskins involved, Zarou shared, "Kedric and I became friends through our spiritual community. He loved the idea and it sold itself amongst his peers." Said Zarou, "these players are considered role models in our community, and though each of their reasons to participate may differ, they too believe in the impact of community service."
To learn more about Open Heart please visit, www.openheartsinternational.org. In addition to financial donations, print and electronic vocational training resources are gladly accepted.

Redskin Players Serve Pizza, Sign Autographs at Charity Event by Mike Stancik, Loudoun Times Mirror – December 23, 2013
With the Washington Redskins struggling with a less than stellar record, it isn't necessarily providing much hope on the field during the holiday season. But off the field, players are still taking advantage of every opportunity to give back to the fanbase that has supported them unconditionally.
A fine example of this was evident at The Dons' Wood-Fired Pizza in Sterling on Dec. 17, as several players were on hand to serve free pizza and sign autographs.
"It's the holiday season, so it means even more to give back to the community as players," linebacker Ryan Kerrigan said. "These people support us all year, regardless of our record, so tonight is the least we can do to show our gratitude."
Hundreds of fans showed up on a chilly night to eat some tasty, albeit free pizza while also getting the chance to interact with the players that are shown on their televisions on Sundays. Kerrigan, Alfred Morris, Will Montgomery, Kedric Golston, and Kirk Cousins were all in attendance.
"Being in things like this during the holiday season, everyone wants to help out in any kind of way," Golston explained. "I met Waleed about 8 years ago and I enjoy partnering with him for a great and noble cause. I love having my teammates out here as well, it's definitely a blessing,"
Waleed Zarou, the manager of The Dons', has been running this specific event for five years now. It all started with a strong friendship between Golston and Zarou, who said they gave out a record number of pizzas this year.
"These [players] are considered heroes in our society in many ways, they're looked up to, and they know that," Zarou said. "They use that platform to serve others, and these guys are great examples of that. When they're having fun, others are having fun, and you can just feel that feeling in the air tonight."
This year, the event was designed to support the Open Heart Foundation, an organization that Zarou and fellow businessmen have been running for about a year. The foundation's mission is to continue to develop an educational system as well as a church system in western Africa, a place Zarou has been visiting for 14 years. 40 churches have already been established and a K-through-12 schooling system has been put in place.
While that project is a work in progress, the immediate goal of providing Redskin fans with a memorable event was a clear success. For players like Morris, who has been at nearly every charity event this season, it means a lot to interact with the fans that wear his No. 46.
"To be honest, I get as much out of it as all of these people," Morris said candidly. "Even with our record being what it is, tonight shows how much impact we can have on the community."
Now through Christmas, we're running a special promotion at Costco!
Purchase Two $25 dollar value gift cards for only $29.99.
Cards are available at the Sterling, Leesburg, and Chantilly locations.
Offer Ends Christmas 2013

Whether the economy has pushed women and men into entrepreneurship or more people have decided to strike out on their own, one local organization has helped many local small businesses prosper.
The Women's Entrepreneurial Network has survived and thrived since its inception in the early 1990's.
According to WEN President Linda Everhardt-Kardux, the organization started in the Small Business Center within the Toledo Chamber of Commerce in 1993.
B-C-S board bids farewell to retiring staff

The Press has learned that Dr. David Miramontes, Northwood's EMS medical director for nearly 10 years, wrote a letter to Mayor Mark Stoner on April 16 in which he made 14 recommendations for adequate staffing, supervision and deployment of resources in the fire department.
The letter was written following the death of resident Tim Mix, who had waited 28 minutes for a rescue squad to arrive at his home on Parc Rue after his wife called 9-1-1 three times on the morning of March 3.
Among Miramontes' recommendations:
In this issue, Press reporters look back at the June 5, 2010 tornado that devastated parts of Lake Township and western Ottawa County. The storm killed seven, destroyed Lake High School and the Lake Township administration building, as well as a number of homes and other structures.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by ZapBrannigan, Apr 1, 2013.
I've not gone through it with a fine-tooth comb, but, at first blush, ditto!
Agreed all around (including the miniskirt comment). I can appreciate some of TOS' better written episodes purely for their stories, but just about every element of the visuals and overall production design of the show is so dated as to be distracting.
Eh, other way 'round, I'd say. Interestingly, though the less smooth, more detailed surfaces of the Ent-D, Defiant, etc. make those ships look better/more advanced from the outside, the more smooth, less blocky surfaces of control panels and such are what make them look more advanced from the inside.
ZOML! That is awesome work!
No. The interirors of the 1701 are timeless; have you noticed how the DS9 and Enterprise episodes featuring TOS sets look slick with modern cameras & lighting? Few surface details were changed, but designs created between 1964-66 look fantastic in the same episodes next to the standing interiors of the modern series ships.
After each episode aired, few complained about the TOS interiors being "outdated" or "old," but I do recall many compliments of the surprised nature.
Pretty damned amazing!
TOS didn't look futuristic even watching as a child a few years later in the 70s. It does have a very deliberate stylization that's great to watch, all the beehives, miniskirts, funky boots, sideburns and all that plus the minimal approach to the ships, tech, and controls. Trek always took you somewhere fantastic but a vision from its day and I don't think completely unintentionally (like Buck Rogers years later).
I think it came out just before that crazy leap into the 70's. Think how much different shows looked ten years later, it was a huge change. When the Hayes code broke in the late 60s movies and TV became very different. Movies from 1966 and 1970 seem 20 years apart not four. If it had come out post-Space Odyssey I think it would've been a different beast. Combine that with the novelty of color TV at the time and you get a very vivid crazy 60s future.
But I wouldn't have it any other way. It's part of what makes TOS great.
I *think* that the DS9 ep is filmed on 60's era film. I'm sure they did their best with the lighting too. But Enterprise also looks great. Especially the battle graphics.
edit: The Gorn on the other hand....errr....
As a young child in the 80s TOS always looked fake and old to me, but the stories were so good that I didn't care all that much. Even as a kid I was smart enough to figure out that a bigger budget and more advances in special effects technology is why the TOS movies from the 1980s looked so different from the 1960s TV show.
Though I suspect whatever really looked fake to audiences in the 1960s would continue to look bad. I remember when the Borg cube was destroyed in TNG's Best of Both Worlds Part II, it looked really fake to me in 1990. But to someone born around that time or after, they may look at that scene and think it looks dated, when it always looked bad. It never "looked real". Again, it was the story that carried everything.
They do to Trek fans, yeah. That doesn't mean that they actually don't look dated.
Trek fans would be the biggest critics about that; they have a franchise that was able to enjoy advancement in art direction / technology over the decades, so they would know what still works and what does not.
How about you--what did you think of the Defiant interiors as seen in the ENT two-parter?
RCA is the parent company of NBC.
Wiki article
IMHO, the original Enterprise bridge is still one of the most practical, functional and believable sets ever created for a sci-fi film or TV production. And, while the TOS Engineering set may not look "real," at least it doesn't look like a beer factory.
Sure, the look of Trek TOS is dated in the way that everything becomes dated. But it also has a timeless quality, in no small part because of the deliberate minimalism of its set design. This piece has been referenced here before, but it's worth another read.
I think they look very similar.
Compared to what I see on the screen now, no, TOS does not compare. That doesn't really matter though. I still watch it over and over, to some degree I am sure, with the boy's eyes that watched it in the 60s. That ship and that crew have taken me to 'my happy place' more times than I can imagine - flaws and all.
Much as I love the bridge as a visual experience, it has some problems.
- To get from the captain's chair to the elevator, Kirk had to take two steps down, turn 180 degrees, and then take two steps right back up again, and squeeze between the chair and the red railing. (The gap varies between episodes as the captain's chair was moved forward or back to accomodate a scene.) Or he could go the long way to the port-side bridge steps and double back for the whole distance to the elevator.
- The red railing makes some sense if you are down in the well, but for people up in the outer ring, the railing is at just the right height to bust both your kneecaps as you fall over it and face-plant in the well during a battle.
- Spock's hooded viewer would be a nightmare to have to bend over and use for any length of time. Back ache! Needless to say, it was a concession to the budgetary problem of creating data displays with the actual info (as was done in "The Cage" with now-dated effect-- Lyndon Johnson, anyone?).
- The buttons on each outer-ring station, e.g., Uhura's panels, are arranged in an arc that is exactly the opposite of what an ergonomic keyboard does to reduce stress on the wrists.
- It famously lacked an emergency exit, but Franz Joseph showed how easy it would be to have a wall panel that opens so I don't consider that a big design issue.
Still, for all that, it's awesome and I love it.
Everything dates, that doesn't mean it's bad. Our vision of the future changes every year as technology updates and makes things we projected outmoded. Is the TOS Enterprise bridge dated? Yes, in the details. Looking at a flashing light and getting tons of info from it is very much of the 60's. In the design itself, the broad strokes, it still holds up because it mostly makes sense.
Like fins on a Cadillac, it was cool but is now a reflection of the way we used to think. It doesn't look bad to me, and still looks better than the Apple Store / Gil Gerard style currently being used (and I'm not a nuTrek basher really). The design concept is solid enough to have survived the decades with only tech updates.
We reach on that. Love is irrational. You have good points. Uhura's buttons were arranged for arm-reaching, not for close-handed typing, so I think they make fine sense.
As a Jung devotee, let me point out the bridge is circular and with a fourness to it, the squared-circle mandala archetype of wholeness. At the center of it sits the undivided (in-dividuated) man, the union of head (animus/Spock) and heart (anima/McCoy). So I'm diggin' me that bridge forever.
Same here. And at the end of the day, what more could you possibly need?
TOS looks so '60s to me, I wonder if it even looked that futuristic then? So much of the style, furniture, was "modern." Didn't it look pretty contemporary? I was a baby, so my memory's a little fuzzy on that.
But I like it to the JJTrek bridge/corridors looks like an apple store. That sure isn't how things are gonna look 200-300 years form now, I assume. It's "now" cranked up a couple notches.
No, because they respond to it with a built-in bias. Star Trek fans are inclined to like Star Trek (duh) and quite often rate it more highly in just about every respect than TV viewers and movie audiences in general do.
I liked seeing the TOS sets again, the same as I do in fan films. Did it look as real or plausible as the sets of, say, the NX-01? No, in no way whatsoever.
It's worth noting that the Enterprise crew chose to light those sets very differently than the DS9 folks had to in order to match the source footage from "The Trouble With Tribbles."
I love the picture of Mr. Scott in the modern Trek uniform.
As for the aesthetics of TOS. I don't think it is or should be too much of a distraction. Back then (as now) the best you can hope to do is give a sense of the shape of things to come and not a literal, exacting snapshot.
Of course there are many who appear all too eager to be disdainful of anything that is over a few years old or in anyway shows signs of age. Those that do cheat themselves. Their shallowness wouldn't allow for them to appreciate the more cerebral qualities of TOS (or anything else) anyway, therefore, good riddance to bad rubbish.
TOS was very bright and vibrant, and, as previously said, in part for reasons above and beyond the immediate need of production. Like many, I love the "window into the era from which it comes" aspect. It actually serves the dramatic purpose of providing a contextual framework by which to fully understand the spirit and voice of the series.
And in that light it signals and allows a contemporary audience to understand the sociology (fears and hopes) of the day, and as such illustrates the biases of the times. So those oversaturated colors actually do a lot more than meets the eye. In my opinion.
I find, in many ways, that TOS has aged better than TNG. TNG seems to scream 1980s to me.

Anti virus software for Solaris? What are they thinking?
By user12611852 on May 14, 2007
Recently, the US DoD introduced an updated version of their "Security Technical Implementation Guide" Checklist (aka STIG) for Unix platforms. They added a requirement for Anti-Virus software to be installed and rated it as a Category I (highest) requirement. Within the DoD, you must follow this checklist in order to get "Authority to Connect" to the network. It is EXTREMELY difficult to get a waiver to ignore a Category I finding.
To quote the most recent (March 2007) checklist:
GEN006640 – Virus Protection Software
Check for the existence of the Mcafee command line scan tool to be executed weekly in the cron file. The Mcafee command line scanner is available for most Unix/Linux operating systems. Additional tools specific for each operating system are also available and will have to be manually reviewed if they are installed. In addition, the defintions file should not be older than 14 days.
I have been researching the offerings of major (and minor) AV vendors. Please feel free to make corrections or additions to this list via the "Comments" feature of blogs.sun.com
- TrendMicro
- No host-based anti-virus software for Solaris (either platform)
- Symantec
- No host-based anti-virus software for Solaris (either platform)
- McAfee
- Command Line anti-virus for Solaris 10 (Sparc) and plans for X64 platform
- F-Prot
- Has anti-virus for Solaris on Sparc and X64 platforms. F-Prot is based in Iceland. I'm not sure if the DoD can use their software.
- Web site claims support for Sun Solaris 8 and greater. Unclear on Sparc/X64 platforms.
- Central Command
- Reports supporting Sun Solaris 9 or SunOS 5.9 on Sparc only
- Avast
- Reports having anti-virus scanner for Solaris 8-10 on Sparc and X64 platforms. Based in Prague,
Czech Republic.
- Clam AV Open source project. Now owned by SourceFire.
- Has binary build for Solaris on Sparc and X64 platforms at blastwave.org
- CyberSoft
- VFind has support for Solaris 2.5.1, 2.6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 on Sparc and X64. Based in Conshohocken, PA.
I have also perused their virus databases in an attempt to prove with data what I know in my heart, ie. there are really no damaging Solaris viruses.
- McAfee
- Two "malware" findings. Each rated as low threat. One requires that telnet port be open which most enterprises close
- Symantec
- 11 Total findings, most of which are vulnerabilities rather than viruses. These vulnerabilities can all be dealt with via existing Solaris patches.
- Trend Micro
- 13 finding, most of which were vulnerabilities and DoS warnings some of which were over 7 years old.
- F-Prot
- Lists only 2 Unix viruses that affect Apache on BSD and Linux platforms dated from 2002.
A similar search of the McAfee "malware" database for Windows XP returned 5300 results.
Apparently this requirement is derived from the NISPOM as evidenced by this email from a customer:
The NISPOM, referenced in the DSS scenario below is the _National Industrial Security Program Operation Manual_ (DoD 5220.22M - Feb 28, 2006)
Chapter 8 of the NISPOM deals with Information System (IS) Security.
8-103. The information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) shall:
8-103.f.(5) Implement security features for the detection of malicious code, viruses, and intruders (hackers), as appropriate.
8-305 Malicious Code. Policies and procedures to detect and deter incidents caused by malicious code, such as viruses or unauthorized modification to software shall be implemented. All files must be checked for viruses before being introduced to an IS and checked for other malicious code as feasible. The use of personal or public domain software is strongly discouraged. Each installation of such software must be approved by the ISSM.
In my mind, the key portion of this excerpt would be the phrase, "as appropriate." While it is certainly "appropriate" to install anti-virus software on a MS Windows platform, I can't see where it would be appropriate for a Solaris platform.
I am doing all of this work in an attempt to get the DISA Field Security Office to
eliminate the requirement or at best, reduce its severity. If you are also running into this issue, please email me or add a comment to my blog. At this time, I understand that DISA is planning to lower the rating of this finding to Category II. I don't know when this change might occur.
Solaris has a number of features that can help secure your system without anti-virus software including:
- Signed binaries
- Basic Audit and Reporting Tool (BART)
- No stack execution
- Mandatory Access Control (when Trusted Extensions are enabled)
- Solaris Containers
Why you should care.
Solaris is known for its security. Placing a requirement for anti-virus software on Solaris is preventing some customers from deploying it because of the paperwork required to get a waiver. In particular, requiring Solaris users to install software that specifically searches for malware that primarily attacks a competitive platform (Windows) would appear to put Sun at a competitive disadvantage.

Sounds like when you ran it dry, it may of damaged the seals in the motor. It may have melted the impeller ring as well which would explain the priming problem. I would get a new seal kit and see if that helps.
Thanks for the info, I called Leslies and they say they have a revamp kit with orings for the pump, I am going to buy that and changem out tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks again.

OF THE BEST IN THE MILITARY. WLKY'S ERICA COGHILL REPORTS THE UNIT HAS A HISTORY OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE. "That award ceremony was held here at Male High School where hundreds of airmen and women packed into this auditorium to receive that prestigious award." ANOTHER RIBBON WAS ADDED TO THIS FLAG SUNDAY-- MARKING ANOTHER ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE KENTUCKY AIR NATIONAL GUARD'S 123RD AIRLIFT WING. OUT OF 89 FLYING WINGS... IT WAS PICKED AS OUTSTANDING UNIT FOR THE SIXTEENTH TIME. THE FIRST HONOR CAME IN 1970, THE LAST IN 2012. "We are one of three units in the air national guard across the U-S that has sixteen and only ten percent of the units actually receive an outstanding unit award." "It is not only the best flying unit tactical airlift unit in the entire nation, but the most diverse airlift unit in the entire nation." WHAT SETS THIS WING APART FROM THE REST-- THESE MEN AND WOMEN AND THE SPECIAL MISSIONS THEY MAKE POSSIBLE. "Afghanistan, iraq, enduring freedom, restoring hope, every one of the major missions that U-S Airforce and us military involved in probably over last 15-20 years there's been a KY national guardsman involved in that."

Lagarde Cuts IMF Funding Request as Economic Risks Abate
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said she will scale down her request for $600 billion of additional resources as threats to the global economy diminish.
"Some of the dramas that were envisaged at the end of 2011 or very beginning of 2012 not only have not materialized," but some "good news" has "restored a little bit of confidence," Lagarde said in Washington today. The IMF is reassessing risks, "which will bring me to probably reassess a lower number of additional resources needed."
Europe's handling of its debt crisis has slowed Lagarde's attempt to increase the fund's lending power as countries including Brazil, China and Canada awaited more efforts to stem the turmoil before pitching in. While euro nations have pledged to pitch in 150 billion euros ($231 billion), the U.S., the fund's largest shareholder, has refused to join in.
With European governments' recent move to increase their crisis defenses, Lagarde said she hopes to make "real progress" on getting additional funding when the IMF's 187 member nations meet in Washington next week. While data indicate economic improvement in economies such as the U.S., she singled out a worsening of the European debt turmoil as the largest risk to global growth.
"Let us make no mistake, the risks and the needs are still sizable and it would be very imprudent to ignore that fact," she said at the Brookings Institution.
Spanish Borrowing Costs
Lagarde's comments came as Spain sees borrowing costs nearing levels that prompted Greece, Ireland and Portugal to seek bailouts.
Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is trying to regain investors' trust with the deepest austerity measures in more than three decades after saying last month the country would miss a 2012 budget deficit goal. Faced with a recession and unemployment nearing 24 percent, the government is also pushing rules making it easier to fire staff and tightening the government's grip on regions that overspend.
"What Spain has done is laudable" and "needs to be continued," Lagarde said today while warning that efforts need to be made "over the right amount of time so that it does not strangle growth."
The IMF is co-financing bailouts in Greece, Portugal and Ireland. It currently has about $380 billion available to lend and was seeking to boost that by $500 billion by getting $600 billion in new contributions.
Start, Then Recalibrate
"You always start the game with a higher figure and then you recalibrate as you have more information about the players," said Domenico Lombardi, a former IMF board official and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. The fact Lagarde "alluded to a lower number just means that we may be closer to an agreement, albeit still rough and preliminary."
Emerging markets including Brazil and Mexico have indicated they are ready to participate. Japan and China will seek to coordinate their support, Japanese Finance Minister Jun Azumi said last week.
Lagarde said a recent decline in China's current-account surplus is a "great result," though "what's important is to see exactly what the rebalancing is about."
She said IMF initial forecasts for the broadest measure of trade indicate that the surplus will increase again to a range between 4 and 5 percent of gross domestic product, from less than 3 percent now. She did not indicate a year for the prediction.

Little information is available on the effect of neighborhood deprivation on mortality in individuals with cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of level of neighborhood deprivation on mortality after a wide range of cancer diagnoses. This 1990–2004 follow-up study included all individuals in Sweden aged 25–74 years and used multilevel logistic regression with individual-level variables at the first level and the level of neighborhood deprivation at the second level. There was a relationship between the level of neighborhood deprivation and mortality for both men and women with cancer. The model accounted for age and socioeconomic factors. For individuals with cancer, the overall risk of mortality was 24% higher for men and 20% higher for women living in the most deprived neighborhoods than in those living in the least deprived neighborhoods. In men and women with kidney, urinary bladder, and endocrine gland cancers, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, mortality differed according to the level of neighborhood deprivation. In men with cancer of the prostate, testes, upper aerodigestive tract, colon, rectum, and lung, mortality differed according to the level of neighborhood deprivation. Mortality differences were also found in women with cancer of the breast, cervix, endometrium, and small intestine, and leukemia. In conclusion, neighborhood deprivation predicts the risk of mortality among adults with certain cancers.

Eskom chief executive Jacob Maroga was due to be the last speaker after three days of public hearings in Pretoria on the proposed tariff increase.
Since the beginning of the year not a single illegal farm eviction has been reported to farming union AgriSA, it said in a statement on Thursday.
