> M16's Replacement?

Is it true? I heard that the U.S. army is looking for something to replace the M16. I don't know what it would be but the M16 has been around for a long time.

Oh, they've looked into it a couple of times. There was this one in the 80's
Then there was a later deal with the XM8 and the like.
March 5, 2009, 03:52 PM
With Obama looking to cut some 40 billions in goverment spending, I doubt you'll see a new rifle or a better round any time soon.
March 5, 2009, 04:11 PM
CMP Surplus M16's :D:D:D:D:D:D
Of course they would probally crush them like Klinto did with the M14's:fire::cuss::fire::cuss::banghead::banghead::banghead:
March 5, 2009, 07:55 PM
They have had two big trials, both went badly, but one did finnish with the SCAR being semi adopted. i vote for a bullpup in the end.
March 5, 2009, 08:53 PM
Not for awhile. Nothing out there is that much more effective than the M16/M4 platform to justify replacing every single gun in the military.
The SCAR is for the special forces only, and I couldn't see the military being able to replace all the m4s/m16's for quite a long time.
March 5, 2009, 10:32 PM
SOCOM sort of adopted the SCAR, though there were or are delays on fielding the weapon. My last unit was supposed to be getting them at three different dates over the course of the last couple years before I ETS'ed last fall. I've heard different stories on the delay.
Big Army announced a while back they'd be taking submissions for a replacement for the M16/M4, though I agree with the previous poster who suggested budget limits will prevent them acting on the idea any time soon.
March 6, 2009, 08:16 AM
IMHO I think the Military is "gun shy"(pardon the pun) when it comes to tackling the issue of a replacement. I remember back during the 80s when Army Times Soldier and Stars and Stripes were full of articles and photos about the new "Advance Combat Rifle." Recently there was another competition to choose a successor that came to naught. Is there no better firearm? Does the potential threat require a new system? I know that a lot of M14s and other off the shelf systems are showing up at the front to fill a void in lethality. Is the M16 fraternity too powerful? Should the Military choose a new weapon will it perform? I think that is the issue. They don't want a dud. Good topics for furthers threads.

Is it true? I heard that the U.S. army is looking for something to replace the M16. I don't know what it would be but the M16 has been around for a long time.
I hear about some new rifle that "the military wants to test" to replace the M16 about every six months.
There was the XM8, which I guess failed, and then all the guns that everyone sees on Futureweapons, like the HK416, and thinks because it was on television means it's the new rifle. In my opinion, most of it's just hype.
IIRC, the military did do some testing on the M4 against a couple rifles including the HK416. I forget what came of it, if anything.
March 6, 2009, 08:24 AM
Bill2E, one more reason to hate klinton. I loved that firearm while they still had a few left in service in the PacNorWest
March 6, 2009, 06:52 PM
There was the XM8, which I guess failed a glorified G36 that had a melting issue. by the time they fixes its little problems it was "too heavy" the idea of a assault rifle that weighs less than 7 pounds is just ridicules right now. Oh and just call it a G36a1 or something, don't give it a new name just because its in a new body.
March 6, 2009, 08:07 PM
The unit I just arrived at is still getting factory new M16-A4's. Most Marines I talk to tell me that they saw the armorer remove the new weapon from the wrapper when they got it issued to them. We are still de-issuing the M16-A2s...
March 6, 2009, 09:13 PM
The issue with replacement is not just the weapon but everything else that goes with it in the supply chain from ammunition, magazines, cleaning kits, training, BFA's and MILES etc etc etc.
One major problem is that there is huge inertia in procurement and people rarely get marked down on their fitness reports for not taking the initiative on this.........
Take all the lessons learned from EVERYONE not just in one area, throw out the assumptions and received wisdom THEN design.
There really needs to be a top to tail review starting from the ground up with caliber, velocity,ergonomics, optics etc etc unfortunately, the last time a real soup to nuts was done was with the EM-2 and look what happened there.
March 6, 2009, 10:07 PM
If anybody knew what they were doing, they'd bring back the M-14.
Now THAT is a real rifle.
March 6, 2009, 10:18 PM
Not sure on the details, but I think that they're waiting to see how the scar develops since the platform takes care of 2 calibers.
March 6, 2009, 10:45 PM
If anybody knew what they were doing, they'd bring back the M-14 One, its round is overkill, we should go to 6.5 Grendel. The M-14 is still used as a DM rifle. Its a good gun, but it's not what we need in the hands of "every" soldier.
March 6, 2009, 11:34 PM
they have been looking for it's replacement since about 1967. Still around. the only improvements I see, is to make it totally modular, with the ability to go to a diff, heavier round, with only changing the bbl. all other things continue to work; bolt, bolt face, mags, everything. Something that will have to be very close to a Grendel. and the bbl needs to be changed , without tools. Also , this will have to work, without a gas impingement system, they are going to have to perfect the piston. then we will get a change.
Last but not least, a totally waterproof , inclosed, easy to change out trigger pac, that can be exchanged from what it is now, to electronic trigger, and it needs to be able to be changed, without tools, in the field, by the leg or airborne, that is carrying an extra trigger pac on him.
March 6, 2009, 11:43 PM
Not for awhile. Nothing out there is that much more effective than the M16/M4 platform to justify replacing every single gun in the military.
The SCAR is for the special forces only, and I couldn't see the military being able to replace all the m4s/m16's for quite a long time.
That pretty much sums it up. When they come up with something actually new and actually improved like Armalite's rifle then we can start talking about replacement. Putting the same old pre-60s technology into a plastic case does not make it new. I'd personally like to see something new and innovative instead of the same old cookie cutter stuff. That goes for pistols too. Just because everyone else is doing it does not make it the end-all. If that were the case we'd still be debating the best spear to equip our army. We really don't need to waste our money on old technology when that money could be spent transitioning to actual new technology in the near future.
March 6, 2009, 11:48 PM
bbl needs to be changed , without tools.
Does not benefit the average soldier.
Also , this will have to work, without a gas impingement system
Why would it "have to" take a step back in the development of our infantry rifle? The M16/M4 series is one of the most reliable weapons in our inventory right now. More so than our gas piston-utilizing machine guns.
I can't make sense of the electronic "trigger pac" concept of yours. What would it offer other than drastically reduced reliability in the field?
March 7, 2009, 12:01 AM
My truck gun is an M1-A. If I have to shoot I want something that I like using and that I have total confidence in. My M4 stays in the safe, wc
March 7, 2009, 12:08 AM
The 6.8 mm Remington SPC (or 6.8x43mm) were keeping the ar frame but changing the cartrige its being used in afganistan right now by elite groups.
March 7, 2009, 12:32 AM
One, its round is overkill, we should go to 6.5 Grendel.
The main selling point of the 6.5 Grendel is that it can fit in a magwell originally intended for a 5.56 cartridge. That makes fairly good sense if you want to just switch uppers and keep the AR platform, but if you intend on going to something new why use a cartridge limited by the magwell dimensions of a rifle you're replacing?
If you make the magwell longer or wider then you could go with a much better cartridge.
March 7, 2009, 12:37 AM
not sure if anyone mentioned this, but the 5.56 is the NATO round. we're not going to a different caliber until NATO does.
the 6.5 has phenominal ballistics, but nobody's got anything that shoots it cept some US civilian manufacturers, as far as I know.
to the bullpup question- it's great for constipation, but nobody's keen on having the chamber under his cheek. An OBD on a bullpup could kill you.
March 7, 2009, 01:20 AM
When they do replace it, I would imagine that they would go with a completely modular weapons system.
Something like a Magpul Masada/Bushmaster ARC.
March 7, 2009, 02:39 AM
to the bullpup question- it's great for constipation, but nobody's keen on having the chamber under his cheek.
Which did not stop the Brits, Austrians, French, & Aussies from adopting at least one. Ok, so the Brits adopted a dog, but they are sticking with that dog even if it won't shoot weak hand at all.
le Clarion has held up in some right hostile places and without being babied by armorers every day.
A top-load, bottom-eject bullpup using a telescoped round in the 6.5-7mm range would have a lot to recommend it. Sadly, US law prevents a would-be "Carbine Williams" from really making that leap. Which leaves innovation in the hands of inertia-laden big companies.
March 7, 2009, 03:38 AM
why not just use the AR-10 in .308?
March 7, 2009, 04:41 PM
If i remember corectly, after some people were talking more seriously about replacing the Ar15's, with Colt's contract expiring this year, few weeks before Bush left office, some connected people managed to squize through Congress a contract for over half a million M4's.:barf:
That just about sealed the deal on any new rifle.:mad:
Colt guys made sure nobody could justify a new rifle, with so many factory new M4's out there.
All the requirements put on the new rifles they tested at one time or another, made sure that is impossible for the new product to be much better the the curent issueed rifles. They had to use m4 mags, they had to fire the 5.56, they had to have to look as close to M16 as possible so you don't have to retrain the troops, have to weight no more then M4, and on, and on.
Then I see people saying " this newer rifles anre not much beter then an M4".
How could they? The requirements made sure they can't!!!!
Is like trying to replace your old Pentium4 computer with something that have to use the same mother board, same memory that the old mother board can take, and you wonder how come you only get a slight performance increase over the old dog.
With new platrorms that are designed from get go to handle multiple calibers, like SCAR, XCR, ACR, you would have a very good chance to get rid of both the ar15 shortcomings and marginal capabilities of the round curently used.
The nice thing about this new platforms is that you don't have to change everything in one shot if you don't want, or you can't afford it. Get them adopted now in 5.56 and when you decide to upgrade the caliber, you can actually choose a caliber based on performance and not on limitations of the old platform.
With this platforms you could actually introduced that 7mm ideal round that many people proposed time and time again, and skip the 6.5 grendel and 6.8 special, wich are both choked by the same AR15 limitations.
I'd love a SCAR17S, or ACR converted to 7x46mm Murray. :p
March 7, 2009, 06:42 PM
To everyone above who is talking about bullpups, look at the FN F2000, best bullpup ever. Now, for the 6.8 Rem vs the 6.5 Grendel, the Grendel has better ballistics and carries its energy better. As for the guy who was complaining about the gas system, go for the Roller delay system, the G3 was more reliable than the AK 47, and packed more punch.
March 7, 2009, 08:55 PM
700 nitro express ? :evil:
March 7, 2009, 09:24 PM
Remember, we spent years talking NATO into standardizing the 7.62 as the rifle round, and then immediately left them behind for the 5.56. It took decades for all NATO members to adopt 5.56 rifles. If we want to use a new round, we will tell NATO to pound sand or joins us. We did it before, we'll do it again.
The idea of resupplying a rifle like the M-14 as a general-use rifle for all troops is ridiculous. From personal experience, I can assure you, there is a LOT more to learning how to run an M-14 well than an M-16. Not just for petite-framed females either. I just finished warrior leadership course with a 20-year-old female who weighed about 105. An M-14 is as big as she is. She is a very good soldier with whom I would go to war tomorrow.
I'm not planning on seeing a rifle other than the M-16/M-4 before I retire. MAYBE a SCAR or some flavor or other of designated marksman rifle, but the bottom line is, there has never been a rifle in the U.S. army that worked as well for as many soldiers for as many years as the M-16 series. Keep it clean, it will do its job. Don't like the performance of the round? Shoot everything more than once. Two or three hits from a medium-powered round is better than zero hits from a rifle too heavy for most people to learn to use correctly.
The 6.8 fizzled. The trials found that its terminal performance wasn't really all that great, and it hammered the existing lowers it was bolted to. The Grendel might be much better, but it's being choked right now because Alexander Arms isn't allowing it to be embraced by the public, and they are just waiting for the military to snatch it up, which they don't seem inclined to do.
Like someone else said, they have been thinking about replacing the M-16 for about 40 years now. I'm not planning on any big changes anytime soon.
March 7, 2009, 10:29 PM
The 6.8 mm Remington SPC (or 6.8x43mm) were keeping the ar frame but changing the cartrige its being used in afganistan right now by elite groups.
It was combat tested downrange several years ago, but that was the end of it. SOCOM didn't have the money to support the logistics of a go-it-alone caliber that would cut them off from Big Army, USMC, and everyone else's logistics coat tails, and so opted for more sniper/DMR kind of rifles and 77 grain 5.56mm.
6.8SPC is a dead issue at the moment even within elite units (though having not been a dead issue at one time, it has done better militarily speaking, than Grendel), and that doesn't appear likely to change any time soon.

The NBA's injury train keeps chugging down the track and unfortunately has been picking up new passengers at nearly every stop.
This past week alone saw: Chris Paul succumb to a shoulder injury; Eric Bledsoe, his former understudy, learned that he'd be out indefinitely following knee surgery; and Deron Williams fell victim to further complications with his chronically creaky ankles.
Not to mention the setbacks suffered in Lance Stephenson's knee, Mario Chalmers' Achilles tendon, Shawn Marion's shoulder and Manu Ginobili's hamstring.
Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but with the way they've been piling up around the Association, one can't help but wonder whether the basketball gods are messing with all of us and, if so, why.
Whatever the case may be, it's clear that the injuries have had an impact on these here power rankings. Several teams saw their positions shift from the first edition of 2014 on account of their wounded and the impact of the associated absences.

Only a few days after Notre Dame's extended run in the NCAA tournament had ended, Kirk Howell and the entire Notre Dame team departed on a lacrosse tour of Ireland, Wales and England. Kirk kept a journal for E-Lacrosse complete with photographs. Enjoy!
May 30- Wednesday
We're leaving JFK Airport for Ireland today. All the seniors kicked the trip off by having a beer at the airport bar. I have never been to Europe before, so I'm pretty excited to get to go, especially with all of my teammates. This trip ought to be a great way to end up the year and my career at ND. Today is also my birthday and I couldn't ask for a better present.
May 31- Thursday
The plane rolled into Shannon at 7:30 AM. The flight was pretty entertaining, especially the eight times "One More Time" came on the radio, however, the low-point of the flight was definitely the in-flight movie. An edited version of Chris Rock's Down To Earth is about the most painful movie I've ever sat through.
At the Airport
Jumped on a bus to tour through County Clare. Our bus driver informed us that the Irish call the castles that are still standing ABC's (Another Bloody Castle). Of course, John Souch picked up that saying and yells it out every time he sees any building that remotely resembles a castle.
After driving for an hour or so, we stopped at the Beaches of La Hench to look around. From there we headed to the Cliffs of Moher and were "the cliffs of insanity" that Andre the Giant climbed in the movie "The Princess Bride". These cliffs are the coolest things I have ever seen. They're about 750 feet high and you can walk right up to the edge. Of course, being the idiots that we are, we all decided to lie down and put our heads over the edge. Anyone that goes to Ireland has to see these cliffs!
Nick Antol
A real "ABC"
Devin Ryan hangs on
We got back in the bus and headed for Galway going through the Barren National Preserve. Once we got to The Jury Inn in Galway, Coach let us loose on the town. Every one hung out together at The Kings Head. They had a great band that played American music. I'm pretty sure none of us were mistaken for locals, especially not John Flandina or Mike Pfeffer.
June 1- Friday
Front - Megan O'Gorman, Nick Antol & Travis Wells. Back - Mickey Blum, Kirk Howell & Chris Young.
After sitting on the bus for two hours, Coach unexpectedly decided to let us wander around Galway all morning. We then got on the bus and drove to Dublin, took a ferry to Holahen, Wales. Then we drove to Cardiff. What a long day. During this bus ride a few people began to get sick This was the beginnings of what became known as "the plague". We got to Cardiff at about 3 AM. We're staying at the Welsh Institute of Sport. I didn't know there was such a thing… just want to sleep.
June 2- Saturday
Got up at 8 AM. Then we were told we could go back to sleep until 11. Just about the time I got back to sleep, Karen, one of our managers, woke me up saying we had to be out of the room by 9:45. She shut the door before anyone in the room had time to kill her.
We walked around Cardiff for a while and went to the famous Cardiff Castle. Mike Richtsmeier spent most of his time in the castle spreading rumors about a torture room. He decided that he was going to spread rumors the rest of the trip. I think the best one he told me was that Doug Boersma, our trainer, was a great point guard in high school and only missed four free-throws his senior year. I'll do my best to get that one around.
At 12:30, we played the Wales President Select Team. We won 19-2, paced by numerous ground balls from Mike Adams and AJ Wright. I think our offense scored a few too. After Nick Antol had a shut out in the first half, he suited up for Wales in the second. The second half was highlighted by Stewart Crossland's out of the cage antics.
After the game, we got to hang out with the Wales team at Penarth Sports Club. The food wasn't all that great, but the company was. One of the Wales players tried to explain Cricket to me, but I still don't really understand it.
We then drove to London. We took the tubes (subway) down to Piccadilly Circus, but didn't make it to the bars before they closed. Most of us, starving from not eating very much after the game, decided to hit up a fast-food restaurant. Todd Ulrich, Chad DeBolt, Steve Claggett, and Matt Howell tried to go to a club but got denied since they didn't have any girls with them. Then, I think they went to Burger King. I have definitely underestimated how much I love American food.
TOYOTA Video Clip of the Week!
June 3- Sunday
We spent most of today wandering around downtown London seeing the sites: Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, and Parliament. I'm amazed that none of us got hit by a car. I keep looking the wrong way before crossing streets. After seeing where the Griswolds got lost, Mike Adams, Mike Pfeffer, and I spent about an hour looking for a shopping mall Pfeff said he went to the last time he was in London. We ended up sitting down in a bar and having lunch.
After spending the day wandering around London, we played the Southern England Club team. We won 18-5 despite Todd Ulrich falling down in the open field a few times. I think the same sniper that got Stewart must have followed us to London. I couldn't believe it, but Mike Adams had his first take-away check. It was great to see Matt Howell score a few times using Glatzel's stick. With guys like him, Berger, Cappelli, Claggett, Frigon, Rimlawi, and Richtsmeier, Notre Dame lacrosse is going to be in great shape for a long time. After eating dinner (pizza with corn in it) with the other team, we got dropped off at a sports bar in Piccadilly Circus.
June 4- Monday
Buy your favorite hats on E-Lacrosse!
Spent the morning touring the Tower of London. We saw the Crown Jewels and the Palace where kings and queens of England resided. We then took a tour of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, which is about the strangest thing I have ever seen. The wax statues are so lifelike it's scary. I felt awkward being in the same room with them. The basement of the museum is a torture room that depicts famous executions and tortures. The highlight of the tour had to be Owen Asplundh and Steve Claggett sitting in the exhibits acting like statues. A couple of tourists were so convinced that they went up and touched Steve's face. At that point, he jumped up and scared the hell out of those poor women. But they ended up thinking it was pretty funny.

Hani Rimlawi with Yassar Arafat
After walking around Piccadilly Circus again for an hour or two, we all met at Café Fish for dinner. The food wasn't bad, but the best part was being able to hang out with the whole team and have a couple of beers.
Then we went to the theatre to see Notre Dame de Paris. I was pretty excited because the girl on the poster was really hot; but of course, it being a Monday, she took the night off. It still ended up being pretty good. I think John Flandina really enjoyed it, since he slept through the whole first half, but still woke up clapping.
June 5- Tuesday
We woke up early again today and drove to Stratford upon Avon. We saw where Shakespeare was born and walked around the town for a couple of hours.
The plague following our team has claimed more victims each day. AJ Wright, Mike Pfeffer, and I were walking around town when we saw Chris "BAT" Masterson throwing up in an alley. I tried to run him down to get it on film, but he was too quick.
We then jumped in the bus and drove to Manchester. For unexplained reasons, we went to the game field a good four hours before the game. Of course, our team sitting around on the field turned into an organized wrestling extravaganza. Every match was preceded by a Mike Richtsmeier dance. Matt Howell gave John Souch a thrashing; which was followed by the main event of Kevin Dugan versus Paul Cappelli. Dugan pinned Cappelli about two minutes in. Somehow I failed to get Dugan's triumph on film, so I apologize. Everyone was trying to figure out who would be the next match-up when Nick Antol screamed: "I want Corrigan!" Surprisingly, Coach Corrigan declined the fight.
After eating at Subway in Manchester, we played the English National Team. In front of a good crowd, we played a rough, physical game. Coach Corrigan and Mike Adams were locked in a battle to claim the most penalty minutes. I think Coach pulled it off with his third bench penalty. Actually, it was about the calmest I had ever seen him during a game. Anyway, after going up 12-6, we pulled out a 12-10 win.
We stayed with guys on the English team tonight. It was a good time. After having a few beers with them, we went to bed.
June 6- Wednesday
I think over half our team has fallen to the plague so far. It's gotten so bad that Claggett has organized a pool on who's going to get it next. Dan Berger (a.k.a. "The Kiss of Death") has won both of the last pools. Everyone is threatening to beat him if he picks him in the next pool. We drove to Chester and walked around all day. Most of us went to see the movie "Pearl Harbor". I had already seen it, but I went again just to be able to sit down for a while. The town of Chester was pretty fun. I finally found something to bring back for my family. In the evening, we played England again. We won a hard fought game 9-8. As a team we played awfully. Stewart Crossland played awesome in the cage, making some brilliant saves. After the game, we had dinner and a few beers with the other team. Then we all went out together. A good time was had by all, especially Flandina.
June 7- Thursday
We spent most of today traveling to Dublin. During the trip, the myth of the "Yeti" (a.k.a. Todd Ulrich) continued to develop (mostly at the hands of John Souch). So far the Yeti is a hairy animal that snores loudly to scare away predators; has a rare, expensive fur covering his entire body, which he shaves regularly to fund his lifestyle. Oh yea, and the Yeti eats his young. Souch you are a strange kid.
When we got to Dublin, we went to the Guinness Brewery. Tommy Glatzel and I had our complimentary pint together. Maybe it's just a mental thing, but Guinness really does taste better there. The coolest thing in the Brewery, besides the top floor bar that had a view of all of Dublin, was the lease for the property. We learned that the lease for this huge property (it must have been 40 acres at least) was for 45 pounds a year for the next 9000 years.
Tonight was senior night. Coach Corrigan, Kevin Anderson, and Matt Reinzo took all the seniors out to dinner. After eating dinner, we went to a bar with Irish music and dancing. Of course, there was a topless fat man dancing on stage. And (of course) Dugan got up there, took his shirt off, and danced with him.
June 8- Friday
Thank God! We finally got to sleep in this morning. Matt Howell, Owen Mulford, and Brennan Creaney were the latest victims of the plague.
At noon, we played the Irish National Team. All the seniors played for the other team. Seeing Chris Young, Dave Ulrich, Todd Ulrich, and Tommy Glatzel all carrying long sticks was a scary sight; especially when Todd warmed up by taking baseball swings. The best take-away of the day was definitely Chris Young's over the head against Jon Harvey. Equally disturbing was seeing Mike Adams and John Souch with short sticks. The final score was 18-7 in favor of ND. After the game, we were all made honorary members of the Irish National Team. I wonder if that will look good on a resume.
June 9- Saturday
Spent the day traveling back to the U.S. It's been a great trip and a great year. I hated saying goodbye to everyone on the team; but I'm going to make sure that today isn't the last day I see all of them. Anyway, it's been a blast and I'm honored to have been a part of it all.

HOP TO IT. . . Last week, Scene pulled all manner of Year of the Rabbit events out of its hat. Since the official Chinese New Year is today and it's such a huge part of Maui, here are even more suggestions. Ah Fook's supermarket in Kahului is an easy, convenient pit stop for last-minute Chinese candies, gau, rabbit charms, T-shirts and calendars. The Vietnamese community is also a big part of the lunar new year action. At 5:15 p.m. today at A Saigon Cafe in Wailuku, lion dancers will bite the hands that feed them as firecrackers explode. "I will do my regular special dish of roast pork with fried eggs in aromatic coconut juice," says owner Jennifer Nguyen, who just held a successful benefit at her estate for A Keiki's Dream foundation. A Saigon Cafe will also make roast duck, shrimp and won tons at its food booth Saturday at the annual Chinese New Year celebration at Maui Mall in Kahului. But please call the restaurant ahead to reserve a duck. Other food booths will be manned by Asian Star, Royal Island Drive Inn, and Siu's Chinese Kitchen. In addition, Vietnamese Cuisine in Kihei will offer a free bitter melon with pork and egg to those who order lunch or dinner entrees today through Feb. 15. Star Noodle in Lahaina will present lion dancers at 7 p.m. Friday. Savor egg rolls, beef broccoli made with braised short ribs, and deconstructed honey-and-walnut shrimp. . .

UGG Boots
Just bought a pair for $ 150.... are UGG boots really worth the price??
I don't think so. If you like that look, Bear Paws are much cheaper. My daughter loves hers.
My SIL has some UGGS and some Payless boots and she told me today that she finds absolutely no difference at all.
She found her UGGs at Goodwill in the box with the tags still on them.
I don't think so.
My dd had a pair a couple of years ago and they ripped across the front of the boot, not along the stitching. It was weird and not able to be fixed. My dd isn't hard on her shoes/boots. She has a pair of slipper boots that she bought at AE for around $30 about a year and a half ago and is still wearing them.

Antiwar activists take struggle to Capitol Hill: Massacre spurs opposition to Iraq war
WASHINGTON — Peace activists from 23 states and the District of Columbia converged on Capitol Hill, May 22, to lobby their senators and representatives for an end to the Iraq war, just as reports of a massacre by U.S. Marines of 23 innocent Iraqis, including at least seven women and three children, exposed the brutal nature of the U.S. occupation of that country.
Three decades later, Agent Orange still ravages Vietnam, GIs
An unprecedented meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam, March 28-29, proved that wounds from the Vietnam War are still open and bleeding three decades after that conflict supposedly ended. It was the first International Conference of Victims of Agent Orange, and it attracted people from more than a dozen countries who are suffering the aftereffects of their exposure to Agent Orange, dioxin, and other toxic agents sprayed recklessly on Vietnam during the 10-year war.
Defense Dept. goes after vets job preference rights
HONOLULU (PAI) — Don Bongo is both mad and sad at his military and civilian boss, Donald Rumsfeld. Bongo, you see, wears two hats: In regular life, he is a federal civilian defense worker at Pearl Harbor, one of almost 800,000 nationwide, and a federal union member. But for the last six months, until Jan. 19, he was an engineer with the Hawaii National Guard, serving in Iraq.
Southeast Europe protests NATO expansion plans
ATHENS, Greece — During her recent visit to Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was met by thousands of protesters wherever she stopped. The demonstrations, which were organized by communist parties, trade unions and peace groups, included banners that read, "No to imperialists, murderers of the peoples!"
Darfur peace pact raises hopes
Hopes are high that Sudan's western Darfur region is on the road to peace. The African Union announced on May 5 that an agreement to end the war in Darfur was signed between the Sudanese government and the Mani Arkoi Minawi faction of the Sudanese Liberation Movement, the largest by far of the three Darfuri rebel groups.
The U.S., Iran and nuclear politics
In the midst of the muddy controversies surrounding the U.S.-Iran nuclear crisis lies a larger struggle for control of the greater Middle East and Central Asian region.
No permanent bases Congress vote shows growing public pressure to exit Iraq
WASHINGTON — Peace organizations hailed Senate enactment May 3 of an amendment by Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) that cuts off funds for construction of permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq while affirming that the U.S. does not seek "control over the oil infrastructure or oil resources of Iraq."
Israel plans fence for Jerusalem
Israel's cabinet voted April 30 to lay temporary fencing around areas of Jerusalem where the West Bank apartheid wall has not yet been built. Ir Amim, an Israeli group that campaigns for Palestinian rights, said the fencing will disrupt the lives of thousands of Palestinians who enter the city every day for jobs, services or schooling.
350,000 march for peace and justice
NEW YORK — On a perfect spring day 350,000 people flowed down Broadway April 29, marching to bring the troops home from Iraq, for health care and education, to rebuild a nation torn by war, hurricanes and Bush administration lies.
At Least 350,000 March for Peace, Justice & Democracy

Beginning Wednesday, 43 athletes from three local colleges head to Geneva, Ohio, to compete in the NAIA indoor track and field national championships.
One athlete will be missed — the men's defending 60-meter national champion.
Aquinas College's Rumeal McKinney, a senior from Southfield, will not be competing in the meet. He has elected to use this year as a redshirt season aftera failed class left him short of the required 12 credits.
"It hurts a lot," McKinney said. "I'm trying to learn from my mistakes and make myself better. I was getting help in one of my classes and I thought everything was all right, but I didn't pass the class and I ended up burning myself."
Aquinas athletes must maintain a 2.0 grade point average and pass 12 credits each semester to remain eligible.
"Because of his sports management program he's involved in, Rumeal was going to be around for an extra year, anyway," Aquinas assistant track coach Mike Wojciakowski said. "Athletes commonly take more than four years to finish their degree, and this will give him a chance to complete that fifth year."
Athletes often use their four years of eligibility immediately and spend the fifth year completing academic requirements, or they may redshirt one year and keep any remaining eligibility intact.
McKinney is serving an internship at Creston High School as part of his sports management degree. He plans to return to competition for Aquinas in the 2011-12 academic year, although he still practices with the team. McKinney also is permitted to run in meets on Aquinas' schedule, but will be listed as unattached.
"I'm still working out," McKinney said. "My passion is sports and helping kids to try and make it into the sports industry."
A total of 24 Cornerstone, 10 Davenport and nine Aquinas athletes are taking part in nationals. Seniors Kris Shear (Rockford) and Janelle Brown are the top seeds in the 3,000-meter race walk.

By questioning how we consciously and unconsciously create our conception
(and perception) of space (be it communal, regional, national, or global, at
family level, the work place, in the Academia, etc.) we can tackle infinitude
of topics that can lead us into a better understanding of culture and the
beings that embark in the quest to create/invent/imagine culture.
The topic is meant to be incredibly vast and ambiguous. Part of the general
goals of the Conference is to force its participants to push the boundaries,
both at personal-academic levels, and of the discipline in general. The main
goal of this year's conference is to force us to question how we perceive our
world, both as academics and as members of a community.
Dr. Elaine Lawless, Professor at the English Department of the University of
Missouri will be our Keynote Speaker.
We have chosen to organize it into five categories of presentation, which we
are tentatively considering sessions; however, the modes of presentation are
necessarily open for discussion and will partly depend on the proposals we
receive. Initially the categories are:
- Theory
- Applied work
- Technology
- Field work
- Alternative modes of representation
Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words and are due by February 15th, 2006
via email to email@example.com. Please list Spring Conference in subject
heading. Abstracts should be sent as attachments using either MS Word or RTF
formats, and names should be left off the attachment. Acceptance notification
will be via email and will be sent beginning March 1st 2006.
Panel proposals are also welcome. Please send proposal for panel abstract with
paper abstracts. We will also be organizing forums for presenters who have
works in progress who would like to present but feel that their work isn't at
a stage for a formal presentation. These will be grouped into similar topic
areas for discussions.
Questions about submissions or the conference should be sent to
firstname.lastname@example.com. Our conference website can be accessed at

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes Review
It's obvious that adult gamers should avoid Republic Heroes. But, more damning, it's also impossible to recommend it to anyone wondering whether they should buy it for a young fan of The Clone Wars.
The woefully-titled Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes has clearly been created for young, male fans of the animated series, and not hardcore gamers. Does this mean it can get away with being crap? Of course not. There is no excuse. Developer Krome Studios can offer no justification for the awful graphics, horrible platforming and uninspired level design that Republic Heroes offers.
The game is structured with the shortest of attention spans in mind. Each level is a 10 to 15 minute blast through waves of Droids - the thin-faced Trade Federation robots from Episodes one to three - as either a Jedi or a Clone. As a Jedi (Anakin Skywalker, his grossly annoying sidekick Ahsoka Tano and the dour Obi-Wan Kenobi are playable among others) your main tool of destruction is of course the lightsaber, but a Force Push helps for shoving packs of Droids over platform edges. Despite Jedi being visual shorthand for cool in the minds of geeks across the world, Krome has somehow managed to turn playing one into a repetitive, bland experience punctuated by bouts of frustration and broken platforming.
The platforming really is awful. There's an odd "snap to platform" mechanic that automatically makes your Jedi land where he or she should. This, in theory, sounds perfect for younger gamers, and negates any annoyance the awfully-positioned camera would bring. The only problem is, it simply doesn't work. Well, sometimes it works, but, frustratingly, sometimes it doesn't, and apparently for no reason at all. It's as if a gremlin has holed up inside your console and decided it would be fun to switch the feature off and on again when you least suspect it.
As a result, you end up missing platforms and falling to your death all the bloody time. You wouldn't mind viewing the action (action suggests, you know… action, but there's hardly any) from angles that make gauging jumps difficult if the game always made you land correctly. But because it doesn't, the camera makes platforming an exercise in counting to ten, breathing slowly and trying desperately not to tear your hair out. Sure, there's no real punishment for death - either from a jump that ends up in you plummeting into nothingness or losing all of your health from Droid fire (you simply respawn) - but it starts to get annoying very quickly.
Swinging your lightsaber around, and combat in general, is a clunky, unresponsive affair. The animations are terrible, and your characters, especially Jedi, jerk around on screen as if having fit after fit. The game seems to think that tight collision detection doesn't matter – sometimes you hit Droids with your lightsaber, sometimes you don't. Republic Heroes' hook is that you're able to double jump on any Droid, (again a frustratingly random process as a result of the broken snap-to mechanic), "Jak" them with your lightsaber and ride them about as they blast their comrades to kingdom come. It's a clever idea, but, like most of the game, is poorly implemented. Some Droids, especially those with rapidly-firing blasters, are useful and almost fun to ride. Most, though, are pointless.
The puzzle elements are equally uninspiring. Most involve mashing the Force button until a platform kicks in, or Droid-Jakking a robot that needs to be sent spiralling into a blockade to open the next area. It never gets any more complicated than that, and the puzzles soon feel like a pointless hoop that needs to be jumped through in order to progress. In fact, most of the game feels like that - an excuse to use powers that matter little in the grand scheme of things.

It's true: designing user experiences for (or in) a global context can pose an enormous challenge. But it can also present enormous opportunities and rewards. This month, we're joined by the authors of Global UX, a recently-published book that acts as a travel guide for UX teams tasked with blowing away borders and boundaries. Whitney Quesenbery and Daniel Szuc based their book not just on their own professional experience (which is considerable), but on dozens of in-depth interviews with design professionals who represent over 60 countries and 25 languages.
So needless to say, this will be a great event for anyone thinking about global design and UX.
In the spirit of a connected world, Whitney and Dano will join us via Web conference in one of Communitech's most tricked-out AV rooms in The Hub. Whitney will connect from her home in the Eastern US. Daniel currently lives in Hong Kong, but will dial in from London UK. So we're going global in almost every sense!
Whitney and Daniel will lead us through a discussion of how UX practice is changing and how UX practitioners and teams around the world are designing for a global context. Their goal is to share what people are thinking about how they work in UX practices in global, cross-cultural, distributed team environments. They'll challenge us to think about the process of understanding people from different countries and cultures. And they'll share insights into how other teams have tackled the challenges of working on global products.
These glimpses into global practice may serve as either a mirror, reflecting your own work — or as a beacon, showing a path ahead. Either way, this event will both inform and inspire you!
Daniel Szuc (@dszuc) is Principal Consultant at Apogee, a usability consulting Services Company based in Hong Kong. Dan previously worked on a usability team for Telstra Australia. He is currently VP of the International UPA (Usability Professionals' Association) and has lectured about UX in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, the USA, Israel, New Zealand, and Japan. He co-wrote a "Usability Kit" with Gerry Gaffney, which is an implementation guide providing best practices and guidelines for usability teams. Dan holds a BS in Information Management from Melbourne University in Australia.
Whitney Quesenbery (@whitneyq) is a user researcher, user experience practitioner, and usability expert with a passion for clear communication. She works with organizations from the National Cancer Institute to IEEE, Sage and The Open University. She has been president of the UPA and served on two national advisory committees for usability and accessibility. She enjoys meeting people around the world and using those insights to design products where people matter. She is the author of Storytelling for User Experience (with Kevin Brooks, Rosenfeld Media).

This game had let down written all over it before it started. Bruins aren't great at home this season. They were coming off a six game road trip and facing a good Lightning team. But the Bruins stepped up. They refused to leave the ice without a victory. They hit 30 posts. They didn't stop coming. They scratched and clawed their way to victory. Exactly the type of win you need to learn how to get once the playoffs roll around. Win streak hit seven.
Setting the tone is something the Black and Gold has done well of late. In the six games since these Bruins started playing together, they've allowed only seven goals, including just three against two of the League's top-five offenses. They've done it by skating and they've done it by being physical, and they're quickly starting to look like a team that might be around for quite a few more months.
Jordan Staal is a monster right now. He has both game-winners in the past two Pens' wins. Marc-Andre Fleury had to turn away unlimited shots in holding down the fort. The Library of Congress should archive the game Marc-Andre Fleury played and have it be automatically sent to trolls on the Internet when they say Marc-Andre Fleury isn't a big-time goalie. Then again, this was a weekend game in January. All things considered, though, the Pens blowing a 2-goal lead and losing would've been disastrous.

FAO Assesses Crop Yield Response to Water
22 August 2012: The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has published a paper, titled "Crop Yield Response to Water," which compiles tools for assessing crops' yield response to water, with the aim of increasing water efficiency. These tools are designed to: determine the effects of water shortages on crops production; investigate impacts of climate change on crop yield; compare various water allocation plans; optimize irrigation schedules; and create strategies to increase water productivity and savings.
The paper builds on previous FAO research while incorporating new knowledge to improve understanding of how water affects crop yields. It addresses: yield response to water, the original FAO water production function; yield response to water of herbaceous crops, the AQUACROP simulation model; and guidelines for yield response to water of fruit trees and vines.

Syracuse, N.Y. - Having a roommate is going the way of nurses wearing caps and white uniforms at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center.
The hospital cut the ribbon today at its new $63 million patient tower that features 110 private rooms. Each room has large windows with a view of either the city's North Side and the Destiny USA mall or the city's South Side and Syracuse University's Carrier Dome.
The rooms are about 30 percent larger than the hospital's old rooms shared by two patients.
Kathryn Ruscitto, St. Joe's president and CEO, said research shows private rooms reduce infections, promote healing and allow for more family interaction. "People even require less pain medication when they are in a private room," she said.
The five-story tower is on the north side of the hospital on the site of its old emergency room. The building also houses a suite of operating rooms, which opened last year, and an intensive care unit. Rooms in the tower will be used primarily by cardiac surgery patients.
St. Joe's has a total of 431 beds. Over the next few years it will convert many older rooms to private rooms. Its goal is to have 70 percent of its rooms private.
Here are seven other things to know about St. Joseph's new patient tower:
1. An airport-type waiting room: One of the building's most striking features is a 4,000-square-foot surgical waiting area that looks like something out of an airport terminal. It has comfortable seating for about 135 people and is equipped with vending machines. Tall windows flood the space with natural light and provide a panoramic view of the North Side. Electronic video monitors on the wall tell people who are waiting when their friend or loved one's surgery begins and ends. Patients are identified on the monitors by a number known only by the patient's family and staff.
2. Preventing patient falls: Patient falls are a common injury in hospitals. They often happen when patients get out of bed to use the bathroom. Each room has its own bathroom patients can clearly see from their beds. Each room also is equipped with an overhead lift system that helps patients get in and out of bed and walk to the bathroom.
3. Goodbye call bells: The traditional patient call bell has been replaced by a high tech system that notifies nurses and other caregivers through cell phones using a wireless network. When a patient presses a button to summon a nurse, a message appears on the nurse's cell phone.
4.Tower named after donor's mom: The official name of the new building is the "Christina M. Nappi Surgical Tower." Christina Nappi is the mother of businessman Samuel Nappi of Jamesville. His family made a donation to St. Joe's to name the tower after his mother. St. Joe's did not disclose the amount of the gift. The Nappis made a previous donation to name St. Joe's emergency services building after Carol Nappi and her late husband, Ralph. Samuel Nappi is founder and chairman of Alliance Energy Group, which owns and operates electric power plants.
5.Final phase of campus redo: The tower is the last major piece of a campus overhaul St. Joe's started 10 years ago. Over that time St. Joe's has renovated its main lobby and front entrance, constructed a new physician office building, parking garage, emergency department and other facilities. All that has cost about $265 million. The hospital obtained $177 million in tax-exempt bonding to help finance the project. It also received a $2.5 million state grant. The hospital also has used reserves and donations raised by its foundation to pay for the project.
6. A "green" project: The tower is equipped with energy efficient lighting, motors and windows. Building materials and finishes include recycled content. There are low or no volatile organic compounds in paints, carpets and finishes.
7. Saving nurses' backs and steps: St. Joe's officials visited dozens of hospitals to get ideas to incorporate into the tower and solicited ideas from employees. Nurses, for example, suggested wall plugs be moved higher so they would not have to bend over as much. Cabinets in patient rooms that store medication and other supplies can be accessed from both the patient's room and the hallway. Hospital officials say this feature will reduce the number of times nurses have to leave the room for supplies.

What is the purpose of the two 28 chains at the end of the pattern? Are the sort ends sewed together.

It would appear to be ties for tying behind head. Rather silly though considering width of band. My suggestion would be to join short edges tog. and have a sc border around both top and bottom.

I am a little confused by the last part of the pattern. What is the need for the yarn needle?

@carolynr39 the purpose for the yarn needle is to weave in the ends after your piece is completed. :)

Gunman sought in apartment shooting
Victim suffers gunshot wound to buttocks
UPDATED 11:24 PM EDT Apr 25, 2013
One person was injured in a shooting at an Orange County apartment complex Thursday.
Authorities said the shooting happened at the Citrus Glen Apartments on Limelight Circle about 5 p.m.
A witness said about five gunshots were heard, and someone was seen running into the parking lot of the complex before collapsing.
The area was cordoned off to allow authorities to search for evidence.
Witnesses said the victim appeared to be in good spirits, because he was texting his friends to let them know he had been wounded.
Investigators said the gunman may have used a shotgun in the shooting.

The morning after the 3.30pm statement before, I'm still flabbergasted by this single paragraph:
"Two password protected discs containing a full copy of HMRC's entire data in relation to the payment of child benefit was sent to the NAO, by HMRC's internal post system operated by the courier TNT. The package was not recorded or registered. It appears the data has failed to reach the addressee in the NAO."
(from Political Betting)
But perhaps I should be more astonished that it took 10 days for the Chancellor to make a public statement about the fiasco, and three weeks for him to even be told. This is hardly conducive to identity and bank security is it? The public needed to be informed the moment this happened, so they could take the necessary steps to protect themselves.
(via Iain Dale, photo credit: JamieD)
A quick tip for HMRC staff who want to transfer data in the future - don't move the data physically off your computers, but send them over this marvellous technology the rest of us use every day. It's called the internet.
PS. Apologies to Blackadder for the post title.

Erie fire crews extinguish blaze inside east Erie abandoned plant
Firefighters knocked down a blaze Thursday afternoon inside the abandoned Watson Manufacturing plant in the 100 block of East 16th Street.
There were no reports of injuries, Erie Deputy Fire Chief Mike Balliett said. Four engine companies and one tower unit responded to the blaze, which was reported at about 4:15 p.m.
Crews found a fire on the first floor near what appeared to be an old office area, Balliett said.
The plant stretches from French Street east to Holland Street. It ranges from one story to four stories, Balliett said. The fire occurred in a two-story section, he said. Fire crews had the blaze under control in about a half-hour.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

What is in this article?:
- Wheat conditions unusual this spring
- Bird cherry oat aphids
- Plant Disease
- Armyworms
- The greatest threat to early maturing wheat is a late freeze.
- Lush green plants can be a haven for insect pests and plant diseases.
- Unless there is a rust race change, we should not see stripe rust infection in most varieties.
More About:
Bird cherry oat aphids
Bird cherry oat aphid populations have virtually exploded in many area fields. This has been a recent development, as there were very few aphids observed as late as the end of last month. These aphids are usually considered minor pests that are kept under damaging levels by beneficial insects (parasitic wasps, ladybeetles, and lacewings). But I have seen populations in excess of 1,000 aphids per foot of row this week, causing visible plant stunting. The wheat plants can tolerate many of these insects at this late growth stage, but when the aphid populations expand in large numbers up the leaves, leaving a slick coating of sticky honeydew, a spray threshold has been reached.
I still believe most acreage in the region will not need to be treated. Parasites and predators will become more active in these warmer conditions. Look for evidence of parasitic wasps (aphid mummies), ladybeetles and lacewings. As these beneficials become more abundant, aphid population growth will be curbed in many fields.
Another detrimental aspect of bird cherry oat aphids is that they are vectors of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYD). However, spring infections of BYD are not as damaging as fall infections. Even if these aphids are harboring the virus, an infection at this late date will probably not cause much damage to the wheat plants. Many growers treated their seed last fall with Gaucho or Cruiser but these treatments have all played out at this point.

Joshimath is a popular hill station and a famous centre for pilgrimage located at a height of 1,890 mts above sea level in Chamoli district of Garhwal division in Uttarakhand and is also known as Jyotrimath as well.
The rivers Alkananda and Dhauliganga meet at the confluence of Vishnuprayag located just below Joshimath. And the view of Hathi Parvat and other Himalayan Peaks is mystifying. It is also the gateway of many Himalayan expeditions, trekking trails, camping and pilgrimage centres.
Joshimath is one of the four maths or monasteries established in the 8th century by Adi Guru Sri Shankaracharya. Joshimath is the also the home of the oldest tree of India, Kalpavriksha which stands at Joshimath from the time of Adi Shankaracharya which is like 1200 years old.
Among the important attractions of Joshimath includes a temple dedicated to Narashima, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Some other temples are dedicated to Hanuman, Gaurishankar, Ganesha, and Naudevi and Surya.
During winters, the town becomes home of the Lord Badri, whose idol is brought down from Badrinath temple to Vasudeva temple at Joshimath. Joshimath is being turned into a major winter travel destination as the government plans to introduce winter chardham Yatra circuit.
Joshimath as Adventure Destination
Joshimath is sometimes as used as a base for treks to the famous Valley of Flowers and Hemkund Sahib but the more popular base is Govindghat located 26kms from Joshimath. The best time to visit Joshimath and for the trek is from mid July till end-August.
Auli is the most popular destination accessed by tourists. Auli offers winter sports, skiing, trekking and other adventure activities. It is also the entrance point of Malari and Niti Valley, which has very similar vegetation and mountains as in Leh-Ladakh and Spiti region.

It's obvious that you love your instrument. You spent a lot of time checking out the different options to find the one that just "clicked" with your playing style and attitude, and now you're ready to rock. Or are you? See, it takes more than just a great instrument to hit the stage and change the world of popular music forever; you're also going to need some accessories. And regardless of which accessories you need, the odds are that you will be able to find them in this section.
Ask any musician and they will tell you they're only as good as their accessories. That's because great accessories can keep your instrument safe, and also enhance it when you're on the stage, in the studio, or just jamming at home.
So which accessories are right for you? Well, obviously that comes down to need and personal preference. There is no right or wrong answer, and there are literally thousands of options available here. For example, are you looking for a case to store your guitar? Then you may want to check out the Deluxe Electric Guitar Case from Musician's Gear or the Les Paul Hardshell Case from Epiphone. Maybe you'd rather a stand than a case? Then have a look at the GS525B Five-Instrument Guitar Rack from Hercules Stands or the Tubular Guitar Stand from Musician's Gear. Any of these stands and cases would be a worthy addition to any guitar player's collection.
Of course, we also carry cables for microphones, speakers, guitars, basses, and just about anything else that requires one. We have tuners such as the SN-1 Guitar and Bass Tuner from Snark and the DT-10 Digital Pedal Tuner from Korg. You'll even find desks for the recording studio and music stands for the orchestra in this section. Some of our top brands for Accessories are Musicians Gear, Planet Waves, Seymour Duncan, D'Addario, Mogami, and much more. Accessories are absolutely integral items for any musician. Take a look around, find the perfect items for you, and watch as your skills truly begin to flourish.

Nutt, whose dismissal as the Rebels' coach is effective at the end of the season, said Barry Brunetti will also play against the No. 1 Tigers. Mackey and leading rusher Jeff Scott have been suspended for the game due to an unspecified violation of team rules.
"They're in a difficult situation," said Nutt. "When they say your head coach is not going to be here next year, it's where you really try to hone in and tell them to hang in there and keep making good decisions, keep going to school. Of course there's a lot of questions in their mind: 'Who's going to be my next coach?' That makes it tough."
Stoudt, who has played in five games this year, has completed 55 of 112 passes for 542 yards with two touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Nutt, who is 24-24 in four seasons at Ole Miss, said he doesn't regret asking school administrators to allow him finish out the season. If the Rebels win one of their final two games against LSU and Mississippi State, it would give Nutt his 100th SEC victory.
"That's what I've always taught our guys - to finish," said Nutt, who also coached 10 years at Arkansas. "This is my first experience with this situation. I don't think I'd do it any other way."

• Acute organophosphate poisoning is known to result in substantial behavioral abnormalities. We assessed psychiatric manifestations of exposure in workers less substantially exposed to organophosphate compounds and showing no obvious signs of toxicity. Commercial pesticide sprayers and farmers recently exposed to organophosphate agents were compared to control subjects on personality tests, a structured interview, and cholinesterase level.
The commercial sprayers but not the exposed farmers showed elevated levels of anxiety and lower plasma cholinesterase than control subjects. Assessment of other behavioral manifestations and red blood cell cholinesterase failed to disclose other group differences. These findings are viewed as tentative until confirmed by additional study, but they point to the possibility that organophosphate compounds may produce subtle defects in workers who are not obviously toxic. The findings do not justify public alarm but do suggest an area warranting more systematic and definitive investigation.

Mitt Romney has won nine more delegates in the Northern Mariana Islands Presidential Preference Poll, and this follows his recent wins on Super Tuesday where he won 9 other states.
The Northern Mariana Islands are a U.S. Territory located on the other side of the International Date Line not far from Guam, and closer to the Philippines than the U.S. mainland, or about 8,200 miles from Washington D.C.
"I was so pleased to talk with Mitt Romney yesterday and it was clear from that conversation he will not forgot us here in the [Northern Mariana Islands]," said Gov. Benigno Fitial, the chairman of the local Republican Party and head of the Islands' delegation to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. "I encourage the hundreds of thousands of Pacific Islanders living in the Continental U.S. to follow our lead and please support Governor Mitt Romney in the coming months."
Rick Santorum was a distant second with 6%, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul who each received 3%.
Romney also won the nine delegates from Guam and Saipan on Saturday, local time, Friday in most of the U.S.
Kansas and the U.S. Virgin Islands are voting today for their presidential hopeful.
