Katie Summerhayes will go for gold in the women's ski slopstyle final in around 45 minutes' time after qualifying this morning.
The 18-year-old is the youngest of Great Britain's squad for the 2014 Winter Games, yet could become Great Britain's second medal winner shortly after Jenny Jones' success over the weekend.
Qualifying was a huge success - the Sheffield-born skier was the only woman to score over 80 in both runs.
So can she make it another success in Sochi for Team GB?
Find out here.
So, what do we know of Katie Summerhayes?
Well, the teen freestyle skier is lucky to be at the Games after undergoing reconstructive surgery on her knee for a SECOND time - something she only recovered from five weeks ago.
To be in the final of this competition, therefore, is quite remarkable.
She said ahead of today: "The lowest point was when I found out I had done it again – I cried for about two days constantly.
"But Pat really lifted my spirits at the right time. He was straight on the phone and said: 'You can do it. You are going to be there'. I needed those words. Whenever I feel upset I just call him. Thankfully my knee is fine now."
Read more about her from Rob Maul here.
With just over 20 minutes to go, here's what the running order looks like.
Katie will be going third last in the first-ever final of its kind.
There will be two runs - much like the qualification rounds - with 12 competitors in total.
Here, courtesy of the Nick Hope of the BBC, is who Summerhayes will be up against:

More quotes from Katie ahead of this event.
"I'd like to be known as a pioneer," she explained.
"I don't want to go to a competition and do what everyone else is doing. I want to do something different. I want to push it, that's what I want to be known for in 20 years or whatever."
We're four minutes away from seeing whether she can do that today.
Right, here we go.
First up is Silvia Bertagna of Italy, who will shortly begin her first run.
Five judges will be on delivering their verdict at the end of each run - let's hope they're impressed with Katie's efforts.
As a reminder, Summerhayes will be going 10th out of 12.
Very impressive run from Bertagna, who finished with a 720-degree spin.
She holds it together at the end as well to land solidly.
And the judges hand her a 69.90 score - she goes top, for now.
Next up, Keri Herman of the US.
Seemed to be a little error at the start of that run from Herman, who lands sideways after the first rail.
But she recovers well and completes it on both feet.
A 50.00 score from the judges, putting her second.
Third to go is Camilla Berra - and she's DOWN!
What a shame for Swiss skier. Replays show her ending up backwards, before losing her step.
Next up Eveline Bhend, also of Switzerland.
A fantastic finish from her, despite a difficult landing midway through.
And it's a 58.40 score - putting her second.
Julia Krass goes next of the US and, youch! She bends her back massively on landing.
Not surprisingly, it's a 42.40 for her.
Anna Segal of Australia punches the air with delight after a very clean and impressive run.
It featured two 720s and a good landing.
It's 77.70 for Segal - and she's in first place with that effort.
Emma Dahlstrom of Sweden finishes with a 720 tail grab
72.80 - and second place for Emma.
Huge roars from the crowd as Devin Logan completes an excellent first run.
The American appears to have huge support.
And it's an excellent score to go provisional first with 85.40.
Now it's the commentators getting excited as Yuki Tsubota of Canada ends impressively. She finishes with 71.60 to go fourth.
Next up, Katie Summerhayes of Great Britain!
A very impressive start from our girl Katie.
But NOOO!
In an attempt to land, her back swings back and she falls to the floor.
Just a score of 19.40 for that - but she DOES have a second run to come.
Kim Lamarre of Canada, the 11th competitor in this run, but she too stumbles halfway down.
Just a score of 15.00.
Dara Howell - also of Canada - produces what looks to be one of the runs of this final so far - 94.20.
The gold medal run?
And now onto the second round of this contest.
First up is Silvia Bertagna, who will need an impressive run here to get into medal contention.
But she loses a ski! And comes to a halt skiing on one foot, before running back up the hill to pick up her equipment.
So it won't be a medal for the Italian.
Keri Herman of the US is second, and finishes with a smile after a strong run.
But she doesn't beat her first run score of 50.00.
Camilla Berra shows her frustration, hitting the snow with her ski stick after misjudging her landing.
It's 30.40 for her second run - better than her first - and tenth place.
Eveline Bhend heads out in pursuit of a medal next, and it's a solid display.
63.20 for her - and a provisional seventh place.
Julia Krass looks a little dejected after her second run.
But it's not as bad as Anna Segal's attempt as she, sadly, crashes while attempting to land on her final jump.
Yet the Australian's first-run score of 77.00 keeps her in third place.
Emma Dahlstrom, the seventh competitor to take a second run, gives a thumbs up at the end of her run after scoring a 75.40.
That puts her in fourth.
Devin Logan starts well, but the American is DOWN, but her 85.40 score from the first run leaves her in second.
Next up, Yuki Tsubota of Canada.
And my word, that was a heavy crash - we hope she's OK. Officials are straight over to her.
Ouch, that's awful.
Officials are still attending to Tsubota as they look to carry her away.
That they do, and let's hope she's ok. That was a horrible fall.
Her fellow competitors hold their hands to their mouths in shock as replays are shown.
Next up is Katie Summerhayes! Come on Katie.
MY WORD, that was superb!
Will it be enough to head into medal contention?
Sadly not - sixth place for the Brit.
But she's just 18-years-old and has plenty of years ahead of her, including the next Games in 2018.
That's it from our live coverage of this event.
Dara Howell of Canada wins gold with her first jump of 94.20.

[QUOTE=qqemokitty;951199]Day 15! I am officially halfway through my whole30. =)
I had a small problem last night. I came home and there was a pepperoni pizza on the kitchen counter!! I freaked out and felt like I wanted it SO bad despite knowing it was shit ingredients + wheat to make me sick. Instead I ended up binging on a bunch of primal safe stuff and overate tremendously. Like 3 deviled eggs, a pickle, some olives, some baby carrots, over a cup of roasted veggies plus pot roast.
I felt SO sick from overeating and so ashamed of myself for letting the pizza spin me like that. =([/QUOTE]
Stop for a second, and let's 'reframe the way you are thinking". The pizza did not 'spin you out of control'. In fact, you demonstrated the opposite ability --- you stayed completely within control, despite the negative and extraneous foods that were also available to you during the same time frame. You made a conscious decision, based on your knowledge, and emotional stability, to choose the alternative, healthy food versus choosing the available, unhealthy choice. You chose the healthy choice. You made a conscious decision and based on that decision, your self confidence and sense of self, also grew. Congratulations for not succumbing to the unhealthy choice, but rather, reaching for the healthy choice. And unless you ate an entire car load of pot roast, I don't think you could have overate.
By the way, who made that dinner? It looks aaaaammmmmaaaazing! I haven't made pot roast in about 2 years, but you've got me planning a dinner in the near future. Hope you are having a great day, qqemokitty. /louisa

The American bison, popularly nicknamed the buffalo, is a part of our national history, romance, lore, and legend. In their day bison roamed the plains by the millions. These large and impressive animals, the icons of the American West, were popular subjects of prints, stories, and melodrama. The exploits of Buffalo Bill in the Wild West captivated generations of the young and old alike in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Heavy hunting decimated their populations, though, and before long the American bison was nearly extinct. Today the bison is cherished, and government and other entities have set aside preserves for their use. The danger of extinction has passed. Buffalo Coins: America's Favorite is the story, still continuing, of these wondrous animals.

BAGHDAD -- A previously undisclosed Iraqi government tally obtained by The Associated Press shows that at least 87,215 Iraqis have been killed in violence since 2005.
An in depth AP review shows the total for the entire war exceeds 110,000 Iraqis. That figure is based on the government tally and counts of casualties from earlier years from hospital sources and media reports.
A government official shared the Iraqi death tally on condition of anonymity, providing the most authoritative accounting to date of the war's toll.
It still excludes thousands of people who are missing and civilians who were buried in the chaos of war without official notice.
Meanwhile, the numbers continued to rise Thursday, with two suicide attacks.

Iota blasts Lake Arthur in opener
IOTA – It took them a while to get started, but once Iota's Bulldogs got their running game going Friday, there was basically nothing Lake Arthur could do to stop it.
Iota running back Blaze LeJeune broke open a tight game in the second half, scoring three touchdowns in the final 24 minutes to propel the Bulldogs to a 26-0 victory over the Tigers in the 2008 season opener for both teams.
"We just kept pounding it out and, finally, we got a crack," said Iota coach Marcus LeJeune of an Iota offense that rolled up 380 yards of total offense on the night - 218 in the second half. "Blaise did a good job of running and our line did a great job of adjusting. We came out a lot better in the second half once we got settled in."
Iota was effective in the first half, racking up 124 yards on the ground and 38 through the air while totaling six first downs.
Quarterback Chad Abshire gave the Dogs a 6-0 advantage just two plays into the contest, breaking loose on 66-yard touchdown run.
The Bulldogs threatened twice more before the half, marching down to the Lake Arthur 25 yard line before turning the ball over on downs on their second possession and then getting in the red zone again before time expired.
"Lake Arthur did a good job of stopping us when they needed to (early on)," said LeJeune. "They adjusted and they made some big plays."
But as the first half wore down, so did the Tigers.
The Bulldogs scored on their first two possessions of the third quarter, the first a nine-play, 85-yard drive capped by a 23-yard scoring scamper by LeJeune.
LeJeune followed up on the next series, hitting pay dirt from 55 yards out on a third-and-one situation from the Lake Arthur 45.
"I think that triple A status started taking over and they started to wear us down," said Lake Arthur coach Chad Lavergne. "Their offense started to get a little bit of movement where they weren't before."
Iota's defense set up the final score of the contest when Trenton Pickett intercepted an Aaron Bertrand pass at the Tigers' 38-yard line and returned it to the 17. On the very next play, LeJeune found a seam and raced to the end zone for his third touchdown.
Lake Arthur's offense also had success moving the ball, crossing midfield six times before stalling out.
"If you go back, the way we were moving the ball was on the reverse and the screen," said Lavergne. "We never really established a rhythm. When you get inside this, when you don't have a rhythm on your base offense, it gets hard to punch it in."
Lake Arthur got down to Iota's 38-yard line on it's first possession before a big defensive stand that included a batted down pass by Brenton Lanthier and a sack by Justin Benoit forced a punt.
The Tigers also marched into the red zone on their second possession before a sack on fourth down ended the drive.
Lanthier and Chase Doucet also had a sack in the second half. Lanthier also recovered a fumble.
"They (Lake Arthur) have a good ground game, we just took them out of their game," said LeJeune of his defensive unit that gave up just 158 total yards and seven first downs. "We did a good job of mixing up our coverages and that kept them confused. That enabled our linebackers to get through there every once and a while."
Offensively, LeJeune led the way with 19 carries for 138 yards and three touchdowns. He was followed Abshire with seven totes for 91 yards and one score. John Simar chipped in 51 yards on six carries.
Abshire also connected on five of his eight pass attempts for 66 yards and no interceptions.
Pickett and Jordan Sylestine each had two receptions for 38 and 23 yards respectively while Justin Benoit had one catch for five yards.
Jamal Jones paced the Tigers, rushing 11 times for 56 yards while Duane Watkins and Auldon Robinson each picked up 12 yards.

The National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) and the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) praised the Senate's passage of the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Act, a bill designed to address currency manipulation by U.S. trade partners including China.
"U.S. manufacturers can compete with anyone if provided a level playing field; however, currency manipulation negatively impacts the ability of U.S. businesses—and small manufacturers in particular—to compete in the global marketplace," the organizations said through a joint statement. "This bill is one step toward addressing this long-standing problem, and we urge the House of Representatives to pass this legislation as quickly as possible."

Another application where label-free technologies helped to determine structural binding elements of a Fab fragment was presented at DiPIA by Rajkumar Ganesan, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in Daniel Kirchhofer, Ph.D.'s lab at Genentech.
Dr. Kirchhofer and his colleagues are working on understanding the structural and mechanistic aspects of serine protease inhibition by antibodies targeting the active or allosteric site. "When transmembrane serine proteases such as hepsin are overexpressed in preclinical prostate cancer models they promote tumors; blocking of the active sites of hepsin with an antibody could help inhibit tumor growth," Dr. Ganesan explained.
"However, we could not find inhibitory antibodies using classical hybridoma techniques or phage-display libraries. But using an active site blocked version of hepsin and a phage-display library of restricted chemical diversity at the complementarity determining regions, we found a number of Fabs that did bind to hepsin."
Dr. Ganesan presented SPR data showing that one of these Fab fragments, Fab25, has high affinity binding for hepsin, and its inhibitory activity was confirmed by enzyme assays using a synthetic substrate. SPR was also used in competition binding experiments with two active site derived inhibitors and demonstrated that Fab25's binding site has structural elements at or around the hepsin active site region. Using ITC, Dr. Ganesan showed that Fab25's binding is enthalpically driven, indicating potential hydrogen bond formation and electrostatic interactions between Fab25 and hepsin.
"Our Fab25 fragment is a potent and specific inhibitor of hepsin and may be a good tool for inhibiting hepsin in prostate cancer."
In vaccine design, the use of SPR is spreading because it can be used for specificity testing, epitope mapping, and immune response ranking. "Many of the major pharmas are using SPR to check their viral vaccines because it is now possible to qualify the virus from culture supernatant," Sundberg explained. "For example, there are vaccine companies using SPR to verify the existence of antigenic sites on virus like particles with specific antibodies.
"Trends in vaccine development are toward more complex vaccines and lower dose vaccines. These require more flexible, sensitive methods of measuring vaccine concentration, and SPR can achieve this."
There is a strong push in viral vaccine production to move from egg- to cell culture-based production, and there is growing interest in using SPR for process development. Additionally, because SPR is being successfully used at the research stage for checking vaccine potency, it could also be used as a manufacturing method for batch-release verification.
Sundberg presented results of a study where scientists at GE Healthcare compared the current gold standard method for batch release of flu vaccine, the single radial immunodiffusion (SRD) assay, with an SPR method. In the inhibition-based SPR assay, three different virus hemagglutinins (HAs) were immobilized on a Sensor CM5 in a Biacore™ system. Virus from the sample was then mixed with a fixed concentration of anti-serum from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control and injected over the surface.
The results showed that using the SRD assay, 5 µg/mL could be measured, whereas the more sensitive SPR assay measured 0.5 µg/m for all three subtypes. "One major advantage of using the SPR assay is that it is less labor intensive," Sundberg explained.
"The potency of the three antigens in the flu vaccine can be measured simultaneously, but using the SRD assay the potency of each antigen has to be calculated separately by measuring inhibition zones on three different gels. Since SPR is more sensitive it would be valuable in influenza purification process development, where fractions from optimization experiments tend to have low concentrations of virus. There may also be an opportunity to fill each vaccine vial more accurately and potentially make significant cost savings."

It has now become generally understood that the treatment of peptic ulcer consists of a thorough medical regimen before an operation is considered. For that reason physicians are now encountering complications from prolonged medical management as well as those which result from improper selection of patients that need to be operated on.
It seems better not to differentiate between gastric and duodenal lesions on the ground of malignant transformation. The etiology is apparently the same for both gastric and duodenal lesions, and the symptoms are essentially the same. Most clinicians that have had the opportunity to observe the clinical course of gastric neoplasm and of gastric ulcer under medical management feel definitely that malignant transformation in gastric ulcer is rare. For that reason one need not be concerned with a different method of treatment of gastric and of duodenal ulcer to prevent malignant changes. Certainly, experience in the clinic for

—I was most interested in your report of cimetidine-induced potentiation of carmustine and cranial irradiation. We have recently investigated the interaction of cimetidine augmentation of cyclophosphamide in mice. The results1 showed substantial increases (near doubling) in the antitumor activity of cyclophosphamide in mice given concomitant cimetidine therapy. We have previously seen cimetidine augmentation of theophylline levels in man and, taken together, the mechanism in both situations is most probably cimetidine blockade of cytochrome P450 metabolism. Since carmustine is extensively metabolized by P450 mixed-function oxidase systems, your findings of a notable interaction are consonant with this explanation. Your timely report on this interaction should have immediate relevance to the practicing oncologist.

Three private equity firms have contacted Children's Hospital of Philadelphia during the last six months about partnering to open urgent-care centers, Steven Altschuler, the hospital's chief executive, said Thursday.
Urgent-care centers are increasingly common, staffed by doctors and touted as a way to keep people out of emergency rooms for relatively minor ailments.
"I'm not that smart," Altschuler said at the Philadelphia Health Care Expansion Summit in Center City, "but I figured there must be money to be made, because [private equity firms] don't do anything unless there's money to be made and an exit strategy."
Children's turned down the invitations and is trying to get more out of its existing primary-care network while pursuing other experiments, Altschuler said.

Breaking Ground at Houlton High School
Our newly formed agricultural program at Houlton High School, Breaking Ground, promotes nutrition and cost-effective growing practices with students in an outdoor classroom environment. Community volunteers donate resources and expertise that teach these students to be self-sufficient. Sponsored initiatives include a school-wide composting project, utilization of a new greenhouse, planning and maintenance of a school fruit orchard, common planting techniques for a school garden, community service activities, and marketing opportunities. Students have designed a logo for their organization and are encouraged to promote their progress through public events opportunities. Posters and flyers have been created and a Facebook page is continuously updated. Our local newspaper, The Houlton Pioneer Times, has written an article in our support. The students have created a popular fundraiser, called the Sponsor A Tree, that will provide the seedlings for our fruit trees. During the winter months, students research daily the benefits of the products they will raise, and compile a network of resources for easy do-it-yourself projects. Our goals for this first year of operation include teaching students to create a garden layout according to recommended companion planting guidelines, and to test these techniques in a controlled environment. We analyze soil compositions and provide amenities where necessary. Students study the growth cycles of the plants they choose to raise, from germination, to maturity, and then back to seed for saving for the next year. We collaborate with local businesses for recycled and repurposed items, seeds, equipment and much needed supplies. Breaking Ground strives to build a network of contacts with the vendors at our summer Community Market, without threat of competition. The reception has been favorable and supportive.

Said was born in the village of Beer Ajam in Quneitra Governorate in the Golan Heights in Syria, heavily populated by Circassians. He completed his primary education in the city of Quneitra, then his father sent him to continue his studies in Egypt (Al Azhar) in 1946, where he completed the secondary studies. He studied in the Faculty of Arabic Language, and got a degree in Arabic language.
On 1956 he encountered Professor Malek Bennabi in the last stages of his presence in Egypt through the book ((rebirth)). He immediately felt that Malik had something different, soon he had the opportunity to meet him personally before leaving Egypt for good.
Said left Cairo for Saudi Arabia, where he lived almost a year, during which the United Arab Republic by the union between Syria and Egypt came into existence. Said then returned to Syria (known then as the Northern Region of the United Arab Republic) to complete military service; while he was in the army, the separation of the union took place. While everyone complied with the orders given by commanders in the military, he clearly opposed to participate in any military actions against the "Union", leading officials to put him under military internal detention, and did not leave until after the end of the matter.
He finished military service and was appointed to be a teacher at Damascus high schools of Arabic language. No sooner had he started than he was arrested for his intellectual activity. Despite repeated arrests and the issuance of decisions to move him to schools in various regions across Syria, he did not leave the field of teaching until a decision was made to discharge him from his work in the late 1960s.
After the 1973 war, the city of Quneitra and some villages of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights were liberated. Among the liberated villages after being occupied for almost 6 years, was Ber Ajam. Now that he was unemployed, Said decided to return to settle there and restore the house with his family. Said lives there still, working in beekeeping, agriculture, and keeping up with the intellectual activities, and abreast of developments and discussions in the Arab, Islamic, and global arena.
His works and writings[edit]
Religion and Law, 2001 (In English and Arabic)[edit]
From the introduction of the book:
"We live in a world in which four fifths of its population live in frustration while the other fifth lives in fear. The United Nations, our world's "figleaf," does not hide the shame of humanity but rather scandalizes humanity's malaise. It is troubling that the League of Nations and the United Nations were born after two world wars. Humanity's unity should come as a natural birth and not as the result of a cesarean section, i.e., through violent global wars. This is reminiscent of the ages of epidemics. Then, because of ignorance about the causes behind these illnesses, plagues swept through communities, leaving millions of dead behind. Yet, after technology made it possible for us to see smaller forms of life and medicine brought us a better understanding of germs, communities became better equipped to halt disease and heal the sufferers.
If a country now is devastated by an epidemic, we blame it on the lack of sufficient hygiene. So too, the wars that erupt here and there are caused by ignorance of the intellectual organisms that infect communities with hate and influence people to commit atrocities. In today's world, relying on science, we concern ourselves with preventing germ warfare while sheltering the intellectual viruses that destroy us: our intellectual foods are still polluted. We cannot afford to continue to be confused or ignorant about these invasive germs".
The Doctrine of the First Son of Adam , 1964 (in Arabic and English)[edit]
Through this book (The Doctrine of the First Son of Adam or The Problem of Violence in The Islamic Action), Said presented his idea of the non-violence in the Islamic Action, he explained the story of the Son of Adam mentioned in the Koran. The story says that the two sons of presented a sacrifice (to Allah): it was accepted from one, but not from the other. The latter said: "Be sure I will slay thee." "Surely," said the former, "Allah doth accept of the sacrifice of those who are righteous. [28] "If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds. [29] "For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine, for thou wilt be among the Companions of the Fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong."
The book appeared in the mid-1960s, before the emergence of the (Ikhwan) trend in Syria and the incidents of violence and widespread arrests among activists. Some believe that Said's experience in Egypt, recognizing that what has been between the Authority and the Muslim Brotherhood there is expected to be repeated in Syria. Jawdat's first book appeared only after he was arrested for the first time on a background of his intellectual activity. After the experience of detention, he felt that it was necessary to write down some of the ideas he had in mind, especially those related to nonviolence.
Said distinguishes between the Islamic Jihad in the phase of building the(state), and Jihad after that. This was in response to some rejection raised on the idea claiming that non-violence contradicts with jihad (in the sense of fighting), It is proven that the Prophet (Mohammed) had exercised during his time. Jihad at the phase of building the state or good governance should use nonviolent jihad. Access to power and rule by force and sword is not acceptable in Islam at all. A change that happens by force does not change the society in deed, but Hercules comes and Hercules goes, therefore, Prophet (Mohammed) prevented his followers from defending themselves while they were in Mecca, but permitted them to fight only after an adult community in the city of Medina was established without violence, but by persuading the public, When the adult community (or the Democratic in modern terms) is built it becomes his duty to stand by the oppressed and defend its peace
Until they change what is in themselves, 1972 (in Arabic)[edit]
Said makes of the Quranic verse (God does not change a people until they change what is in themselves) a title and a starting point, to prove that in order to solve a problem or change a situation, the priority of change starts from ourselves.
Said argues that the law in this verse, is general and applies to all human beings, and not especially Muslims, and that it is a social Law not individual law, and that it contains two phases of change: A change done by God and a change by people. The First change is a result of the second, God will not change until the people change first.
The writer concludes his book by saying:
"there are many simple Quranic facts we hear but not understand! How many of the disasters arise from this neglect and inattention! How many hundreds of thousands of young people are disappointed, or lose confidence in the seriousness of religious subjects, when they are exposed to the truth, because they live an illusion! It is a problem of a society, the problem of a lost generation replete with illusions."
Work Is Ability and will (in Arabic)[edit]
The writer says that if a firm will for work met with a complete capability and the presence of suitable conditions and the absence of impediments, then the action is compulsory.
Muslims have all the will and the physical capability which can solve their problems and to participate to influence events in the world and face the colonial and intellectual invasion, but he adds that the real destitution is in their understanding of the laws of changing themselves and their communities, as they usually claim their rights, rather than performing their duties, and are concerned with having a state rather than the establishing the society, they adopt the pattern of violence and coercion not the scientific method and persuasion...
Read! and your Lord is Most generous, 1987 (in Arabic)[edit]
The Rush to condemn "Science" or "knowledge" (which was the original title to this book) holds a great loss, the writer says, because nothing can save us other than "knowledge". What we condemned is either Science (Knowledge) so that we must accept or ignorance so we reject.
The writer states and responds in his book to some common sayings and writings of some Muslims which suggest that "science is unable to solve problems". And that there is something else out there that we should depend on to work out our problems.
Be as Adam's son, 1996 (in Arabic)[edit]
Said discussed nearly all the main topics of his world, he talks in this book about nonviolence, history, language, Quran, science and knowledge, knowledge and Power, the prophetic concept to change, Jihad, the two ways to read Quran, Arnold J. Toynbee and the system of civilization, Michel Foucault and history, truth falsehood and consequences, the difference between the European Union and the United Nations, the difference between the sick and the sickness, UN and veto.

By Suzanne Reynolds, Army War CollegeMay 10, 2013
Hungarian Defense Forces strategic leader becomes the 43rdinductee into the International Hall of Fame.
The War College leadership, student body, and faculty honored Gen. Tibor Benko, Chief of Defense of the Hungarian Defense Forces and USAWC 2001 graduate, with induction into the International Hall of Fame on Apr. 23 in Bliss Hall.
"Gen. Benko exemplified the tenants of the United States Army War College through his leadership of his nation's armed forces and in doing so has greatly honored his alma mater," said Col. John Burbank, director, International Fellows Program. "His connection to this institution and to you, as future strategic leaders, remains paramount as we face the dangers and new challenges of the 21stcentury together."
Benko's career spans 34 years starting as a platoon leader and then brigade commander at the 36thArtillery Regiment in Kiskunhalas, commander of the 5thLight Infantry Brigade in Debrecen, acting commander of the Hungarian Land Forces Command, commander (land forces) of the Joint Force Command and presently as chief of defense.
The Hall of Fame recognizes graduates who have held the highest positions in their nation's armed forces or an equivalent position by rank or responsibility in a multinational military organization.
"It is a great feeling to breathe the air of the Army War College again," said Benko.
Benko thanked his former faculty members, classmates and sponsors for attending the ceremony.
"I was fortunate to be a student here, and I can tell you that I spent a year here that was not only successful but unforgettable," said Benko. "I experienced and learned a lot here which I could use very effectively in my previous positions and currently, as well. I made excellent friends from the one year from among both American and international students."
The atmosphere of this auditorium is just like it was back then--and sitting there among you are the top military leaders to be, he said.
"It is here where strategic leadership and management skills come together, this is something you have already learned about," said Benko.
Benko spoke of the Hungarian officer who will come to The War College for the next resident course and provided an overview of his nation's military.
Hungary is a small country without large armed forces, but within the alliance it is not the size of the country but the contribution to the common cause that matters, said Benko. Hungarian forces are present in Afghanistan, Mali and other regions of Africa, Cypress, China, and were also involved in Kosovo and Iraq.
"We field over 160 positions at various NATO commands and headquarters," said Benko. "We operate a NATO military medical excellence center and we are responsible for organizing and managing international C-IED course, just to mention some of our contributions."
Benko also discussed the partnership with the Ohio National Guard which celebrates its 20th year of working together.
Benko outlined the capabilities his country could offer within alliances and in the international area to include a joint engineer battalion with Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine for flood disasters, a multinational land force with Italy and Slovenia, policing missions in 2015 and a partnership with Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2016.
He closed his remarks by thanking the War College for the honor and reminded students to take full advantage of their year here, which he called the best of his life.

New York's 'Flying People' Become Instant Sensations
On Friday January 27th, the residents of the Big Apple witnessed something quite out of this world - Three men gracefully flying around the skies of Lower Manhattan.Turns out, they were not ballet dancers with super human powers, but cleverly camouflaged radio controlled airplanes.
The gimmick was the genius idea of Thinkmodo, a New York-based marketing company that specializes in concocting viral sensations to promote events. This recent one was created to publicize the release 'Chronicle', a movie about three high-school students who discover they have super powers that include, the ability to fly.
The three people planes each completed 6, five minute flights across the Hudson River. Though 'kite-like' in appearance and weight (just 4lbs each), the planes were actually sophisticated flying instruments that required some expert maneuvering to ensure a smooth flight. The company therefore summoned the experts from the Academy of Model Aeronautics, who put each radio-controlled aircraft through some rigorous testing, prior to the big event.
As you can imagine, the 'viral sensation' was a huge success, despite the fact that one of the 'flying' men seemed to lose his super power mid-flight and had to be fished out of New York City's Harbor Point. Fortunately for those of us who missed it, there is a great video that captures the salient moments.
This is not the first time Thinkmodo has come up with such a stunt. To promote the recent thriller 'Limitless', they released a video depicting a man using an invention to hack the large video screens that line New York City's Times Square. Wonder what they will think up of next!

Cumberland Pharmaceuticals and China-based firm Gloria Pharmaceuticals are each investing $1 million in Cumberland Emerging Technologies (CET), a joint initiative between Vanderbilt University, Cumberland Pharmaceuticals, and the state of Tennessee's Launch TN that aims to advance biomedical products and technologies from academic research centers toward commercial development.
Per the deal, Gloria is getting first crack at negotiating a license to CET products for China, while Cumberland is keeping access to CET's product rights everywhere else. Cumberland says the new funds will be used to speed up development of CET's pipeline of new product candidates from Vanderbilt and other research centers in the region.
"We welcome Gloria as our international partner, shareholder, and fourth constituent," Cumberland's CEO A.J. Kazimi said in a statement. "Together these four partners can help develop and commercialize biopharmaceutical research and deliver new products to improve patient care."
Cumberland and Gloria have worked together before: Back in February of 2012 Gloria entered an agreement to commercialize Cumberland's Caldolor® (ibuprofen) Injection and Acetadote® (acetylcysteine) products in China.

Thanksgiving usually contains two things most Americans seem to love to do -- shop and travel.
But it appears the bad economy may be hurting past times this year.
With gas below $2.00 a gallon almost everywhere, you would expect many more holiday travelers to drive this Thanksgiving.
"It makes it much easier to travel by car, because the gas prices have lowered," said one motorist. "So I'm looking forward to going."
Travel Business Down
But the sour economy has soured about 600,000 thousand Americans on going anywhere at all. In fact, travel has dropped now for the last four holidays.
"I really think the economy is so rough right now, people can't afford to travel," a passerby said.
Or if they can, they're cutting back.
"People are still traveling," said Travelocity's Jennifer Gaines. "But they are choosing to travel either for Thanksgiving or for Christmas, but not necessarily for both."
Air travel's down almost 10 percent compared to last Thanksgiving.
"I'm looking around the airport and I'm seeing something that's very surprising to me. There's no one in the airport," one traveler said. "So, I'm a little concerned that maybe what they're saying about the economy is true."
"I don't think people are going out of town this year," another man said. "I think they're just going to kind of work together and do some potluck and stay home and pray to God they keep their houses."
The savviest among those that could still afford to fly beat the rush by hitting the airports Tuesday -- avoiding Wednesday, the busiest travel day of the year.
"I'm trying to get out early," another traveler said. "So I don't have to hassle with it tomorrow."
"We were trying to avoid Wednesday," another person explained. "Because Wednesday's a disaster, usually."
Will Black Friday Really Boost Store Profits?
But folks staying in town may still be heading out -- to hit the stores on what's usually the busiest shopping day of the year -- Black Friday. It's day retailers have traditionally gone into the black for the year and started making profits.
But that profit is in real doubt this year with so many nervous Americans cutting back on their buying.
"And what I'm finding is that a lot of my regular weekly customers don't have the money to come in," said business owner Al Cohen.
Retailers say September was awful, October even worse.
"Like everybody else in the retail business, I'm struggling," Cohen said.
The only hope for many stores is to slash prices now.
"When you've got about 30 kids at Christmastime, I have seven families," one shopper explained. "I want all the bargains I can get."
It's the hope of bargains on Black Friday that spurred some young people to camp out in front of a Best Buy in California since Monday.
The teens say it's just like camping.
"Exactly," one teen said. "With all your friends, but it's like right here next to home."
"You've got to be number one to get the good deals," another one said.
Retailers usually ring up 10 percent of their holiday sales during those three days after Thanksgiving. With a year that's been tough so far, they are more desperate than ever to make those sales this weekend.

The GB section of the Almanac say:
"The Packers had the league's best DVOA and second-best average gain on running back screens.
Is this really true?? Can you double check this?
My perception was that GB was a HORRIBLE screen team last year. I don't recall more than two decent screens, and MANY that went next to nowhere. I am struggling to grasp how my perception of GB as a screen team is so different than the FO numbers.
4 replies , Last at 22 Jul 2010, 9:22am by Flounder
I was also surprised by this. Similarly I was surprised by the fact that Ryan Grant was the best goal line runner in the NFL last year.
I wonder how much of this dissonance is due to context and perspective. The Packers were such a good conventional passing team as well as scoring a lot of red zone TDs by passing that it's easy to look at a few failed goal line runs or screen passes and think that other play calls would have been better. The successes don't stand out because we expected GB's offense to be successful on most plays.
Yeah, perhaps. The only good screen passes I can remember involved Brandon Jackson, who is actually OK at it. I just remember Grant either not catching the ball, or gaining minimal yards.
Part of it is that they didn't use screens often. From our charting data, they ran nine RB screens in Weeks 1-9, and one of those was an incomplete pass on a 2-point conversion. The others were all on first or second down, with 9 or more yards to go. One was incomplete, and one was caught for a three-yard loss. The other six completions were:
* A 13-yard gain on 1st-and-10 against Cincinnati.
* A 13-yard gain on 2nd-and-10 against Minnesota.
* A 20-yard gain on 2nd-and-14 against Minnesota.
* A 6-yard gain on 1st-and-10 against Detroit.
* An 11-yard gain on 1st-and-10 against Minnesota (second game).
* A 10-yard gain on 2nd-and-10 against Tampa Bay.
So on screens, they were 7-of-8 passing for 70 yards (8.8 yards per attempt), with five first downs and six successful plays by DVOA standards. (All of those were receptions by Grant, by the way, except the Tampa Bay game.)
They ran 16 RB screens in the second half of the year, and while there were a few more incompletes and negative completions, eight of them gained 10 yards or more.
So about once per game, they would run a really good screen that gained 10 yards or more, but they only had about a half-dozen screens all year long that failed to gain yards.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. Maybe what I am remembering were just swing passes and not actual screens.

Insider: Orlando Magic Notebook
[youtube_sc url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEvIQ_Iq_Ac"]
Magic Starters Lacking Energy
It's been the same scenario in each of the first three games for the Orlando Magic in their first round series with the Indiana Pacers.
?That?s three first quarters and three third quarters where it?s been the same story," said Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy.
Orlando has been dominated at the start of each half in all three games. In three first quarters, the Magic have been outscored 69-56 and 46-21 in the first six minutes of each of the three games.
In the third quarter, the Magic have been outscored 81-43 so far in the series.
?We can?t be playing out of a hole all the time," Van Gundy added.
Orlando's starting five of Davis, Ryan Anderson, Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson and Jameer Nelson have been pathetic thus far in the series. Their poor play was on display in Wednesday's blowout loss. If you remove Davis, who scored 22 points, from the equation, the other four starters combined for 27 points on 9-of-32 shooting, grabbed just eight rebounds and turned the ball over nine times.
"You know, they?ve been playing harder than us at some times in the game," Davis said following Wednesday's loss. "Their energy level was consistent."
Part of the reason the starters have been outclassed by the Pacers are their struggles on the glass. Indiana has a huge size advantage and used it to outrebound the Magic by 13 in game 3.
Despite their obvious disadvantage, Van Gundy is very upset with Orlando's effort on the boards. As he should be.
?Our starting lineup in 125 something minutes has 12 rebounds," Van Gundy explained.
In fact, Orlando's starting front court of Davis, Anderson and Turkoglu combined to pull down just six rebounds in Wednesday's loss. Davis had four boards while Anderson and Turkoglu each had one. That comes after a pathetic second half on the glass in game 2 when Davis and Anderson combined for three rebounds.
?No other explanation," J.J. Redick said. "They?re outplaying us.?
Van Gundy labeled Wednesday's effort as a "team loss," but clearly a bulk of the blame has to be placed on the starters.
?It?s the responsibility of the people that are starting to get us off to a good start," Redick explained. "I think those guys will come back with a great game for game 4.?
After the game, Van Gundy didn't rule out making changes to the lineup. That could mean inserting Redick, who had 13 points Wednesday night, into the starting lineup, but Van Gundy wouldn't get into details.
Martins, Smith Visit Dwight Howard
Obviously, the biggest reason the Orlando Magic have struggled in their first round series with Indiana Pacers has nothing to do with who's on the court, but with the absence of their superstar Center, Dwight Howard.
Howard underwent successful surgery to repair a herniated disc in his back on April 20 and was ruled out for the postseason.
Howard was advised by his doctors to remain in California, where the surgery took place, to rehab. Despite the distance, Howard has continued to keep in contact with the organization and Magic CEO Alex Martins and General Manager Otis Smith even went to see Howard Tuesday.
"He seems to be good," Smith told the Orlando Sentinel. "He's a little perturbed that he can't be around. He's a little perturbed that he can't play at this time of the year especially."
Howard has continued to watch each game and even texts with Smith during games.
"He thinks we're good enough to win," Smith said. "I tell him we actually have to play pretty close to a perfect game without him back there."
Smith and Martins both refuted rumors that Howard has again asked for a trade.

The Aiken Mid-Day Lions Club held its 18th annual Fashion Show Luncheon and Silent Auction honoring administrative professionals ion April. Despite having several other events in the community, it was very successful and well attended.
Funds raised from this event support the Aiken Mid-Day Lions' contributions to organizations such as the Leader Dog program, the South Carolina Lions Charitable Services organization and the Storm Eye Institute.
Locally, the club assists needy individuals in obtaining prescriptive glasses, eye exams and hearing aids. Since July 1, 2012, the Aiken Mid-Day Lions have helped 66 residents in Aiken alone. The Club also partners with local organizations like the Salvation Army, Helping Hands and Shepeard Community Blood Center.
The fashion show would not have been possible without the help of our sponsors: Aiken Regional Medical Centers' WE program, Aiken Ophthalmology, Bridgestone, Atlantic Broadband, ASCO Numatics, URS, Nichols Automotive Service, Bisquecuts & Glazy, Triangle Dodge Chrysler Jeep, PowerCuts Salon & Spa, Aiken Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates, PA/Dr. Oletha R. Minto, Wayne's Automotive, Hite Floral, Universal Protection Services, State Farm/Denny Michaelis, Inner Beauty MD and MAU Workforce Solutions.
The support from the staff of Houndslake Country Club helped make our event the success we were able to enjoy. Fashionable looks, presented by Belk of Aiken, brought color and excitement to the room, as well as the makeup provided to the models by Estee Lauder. Belk and Estee Lauder also partnered in providing each attendee with a fabulous gift.
In addition, Aiken Regional Medical Centers' WE program, as our King Lion sponsor, recognized and honored the administrative professionals with a gift as well.
In a time when every charitable organization struggles to meet the increasing demand for services in their community, the Aiken Mid-Day Lions Club members can look back with pride on their efforts that day. The money raised will help those in need with vision and hearing loss right here in Aiken County for many months to come.
