Just flew JFK DXB and back recently (on an Emirates 77-300ER) and for both flights, the pilot announced during the preflight information that we would be flying at a certain altitude (i think it was 29000 ft on the outbound) and that as the flight progressed and we burned fuel, we would climb to higher altitudes.
Can someone explain the physics of this? If it is more efficient to fly at higher altitudes where the air is thinner shouldn't that be true regardless of the weight of the plane? Why would one want to burn fuel before climbing to full altitude?
It was interesting though hearing the sounds as we changed altitude- the engines would suddenly go from a whine to a roar for a couple minutes and then die down again.

It's not the way some people who live in Allentown expected to start the week.
Seventeen people were chased out of their homes and into bitterly cold conditions by a fire that broke out on 7th Street just after noon Sunday.
Firefighters had their hands full with the 3-alarm fire in what felt like below-freezing temperatures. A cell phone captured dramatic video of the billowing fire.
Residents on the second floor noticed smoke coming through the floorboards and then a massive fireball.
"When our guys got on scene it was already, the fire was already blowing out the windows and already going in the second floor," said Capt. John Christopher, Allentown Fire Dept.
The broken window fed the flames plenty of oxygen, and whipping winds fanned the fire into a frenzy.
"Immediately, crews were put on the roof to open the roof for ventilation to prevent the fire from spreading," said Christopher.
Firefighters evacuated the nearby businesses and row homes.
The temperatures were in the low 30s, and when you factor in wind chill, the temperature felt like it was well below freezing.
Many people took refuge inside a convenience store across the street and watched firefighters battle the blaze.
In such conditions, firefighters said equipment can freeze, and crews covered in water can get hypothermia quickly.
"Any weather extreme, be it hot or cold, you kind of go through guys, you kind of go through personnel quickly. It's difficult and it's something you try to put out of your mind. It gets real bad once you get wet and you have to come out in the cold," said Christopher.
No one was injured. The Red Cross is providing shelter for the 17 people displaced by the fire.
An official cause has not been determined.

MOBILE, Alabama -- When Joann Banks decided to buy a house in Prichard's Alabama Village, the neighborhood was struggling but people told her it was a good investment because the government was targeting the area for redevelopment.
Eighteen years later, she's still waiting for that redevelopment to happen. If anything, the neighborhood is even more blighted than it was when she moved in.
Chatter about redevelopment continues to circulate, however, particularly among the handful of homeowners in the largely rental area.
The latest grist hit the rumor mill in 2010 when the Housing Authority of the City of Prichard won a $20 million neighborhood-stabilization grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of a government stimulus.
After a slow start, those involved with the program say the renewal is starting to take off. But a lack of visible progress — particularly in destitute Alabama Village — and the local history of revivals-that-never-arrived have begun to raise suspicions among homeowners and landlords.
Some even fear that the Housing Authority's actions may leave them worse off.
There's little doubt that the city's neighborhoods need help.
HUD scores neighborhoods' risk of foreclosure and vacancy on a 20-point scale, where zero represents no risk and 20 represents ubiquitous blight or bank-owned property.
Nine of the 13 Census tracts in Prichard scored 20 in one or both categories. All 13 qualified as distressed or declining, based on the HUD guidelines.
The widespread decay helped Prichard win one of the largest per-capita awards made under the $1.93 billion neighborhood-stabilization program, according to John Helm, a consultant working with the city.
Still, Helm said, $20 million isn't enough to address the entirety of Prichard's blight.
After hearing from the public and local officials, the Housing Authority decided to focus its efforts on Snug Harbor, a struggling community near downtown, and on Alabama Village, whose squalid streets wind through the northeast side.
No building planned for Alabama Village in the near future
The Housing Authority's strategy for each is distinct.
In Snug Harbor, the Housing Authority plans to build new homes. About $3.1 million is earmarked for construction of 25 homes there, Helm said. The authority also plans on rehabilitating some houses that are dilapidated but not beyond repair.
Helm said that construction is important in Snug Harbor because it suffers from a high vacancy rate, yet there are many empty lots where blighted housing has already been torn down. It also sits next to City Hall and other potential workplaces.
In Alabama Village by contrast, the Housing Authority plans no new construction during the three-year term of the grant. The infrastructure is so degraded there that investing in new construction without overhauling entire blocks would be throwing good money after bad, said Charles Pharr, the authority director.
Drains in Alabama Village no longer function. One intersection floods waist deep in heavy rains. The narrow streets, which haven't been repaved in years, are so degraded that some resemble dirt roads. Some dead-end streets have been completely reclaimed by nature.
Even the layout of Alabama Village, with its limited entrance points and cramped, confusingly circuitous streets, would probably need to be changed, Helm said.
"It's my opinion that the only way to redevelop the neighborhood is to start over," Pharr said.
For that reason, the Housing Authority is focusing on acquiring property in Alabama Village in hopes of eventually gathering enough to create the neighborhood anew.
The rules of the grant allow the authority to buy property that is either tax delinquent or on the road to foreclosure. About 130 of the 450 tracts in Alabama Village qualify, according to Helm.
Alabama Village landowners skeptical
The plan is to buy as many as possible and clear them as warranted. Proceeds from the Housing Authority's sales in Snug Harbor and elsewhere will be plowed into buying more tracts, including from homeowners and landlords who own their properties outright and are current on their taxes, Helm said.
Eventually, when enough contiguous land is acquired, the redevelopment will begin, he said, but will probably take several more years.
The strategy has Banks feeling left out and concerned about the fate of her house as the number of occupied addresses in Alabama Village dwindles.
The neighborhood is already dangerous, Banks said, if the population keeps thinning out, there will be too few to deter criminals from striking at will.
"We'll be islands," she said of herself and the other homeowners in the area. "We will be so spaced out, we won't have any protection."
She and others in her situation believe that homeowners ought to be taken care of first.
Mabel Morgan, meanwhile, sees the Housing Authority's move as a scheme to cheat her and other landlords. She's one of the largest landowners in Alabama Village.
Police and fire protection in the neighborhood is atrocious, she said, which makes it extremely costly to keep properties intact when there are no tenants. Every time one moves out, there is a risk that the house will be pillaged for its copper wiring and fixtures.
By buying up all the derelict tracts, the Housing Authority can sit on them while the landlords are bled dry, she said. Those who don't fall behind on their taxes will sell for rock bottom prices out of desperation, she said.
Responded Helm: "We are not abandoning Alabama Village ... The rules were set up in Washington."
At least one owner, Carl Hale, said he welcomes the Housing Authority's plan. He said he'd like to sell out and leave the Village. Failing that, he would prefer to see lots cleared and ruins removed.
"This place would be a lot better if they could just clean up some of this mess," Hale said.

Take glimepiride tablets shortly before, or during, your first meal of the day.
Remember to follow any advice you have been given about what you should or shouldn't eat, and try to take some regular exercise.
Side-effects are rare, but make sure you know how to recognise the symptoms of low blood sugar. These include feeling shaky or anxious, sweating, looking pale, feeling hungry, having palpitations, and feeling dizzy.
About glimepiride
|Type of medicine
|Sulfonylurea antidiabetic medicine
|Used for
|Type 2 diabetes mellitus
|Also called
|Available as
Insulin is a hormone that is made naturally in your body, in the pancreas. It helps to control the levels of sugar in your blood. If your body does not make enough insulin to meet its needs, or if it does not use the insulin it makes effectively, this results in the condition called diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes).
People with diabetes need treatment to control the amount of sugar in their blood. This is because good control of blood sugar levels reduces the risk of complications later on. Some people can control the sugar in their blood by making changes to the food they eat but for other people, medicines like glimepiride are given alongside the changes in diet.
Glimepiride works by increasing the amount of insulin that your pancreas releases. It can be given on its own or alongside other antidiabetic medicines or insulin.
Before taking glimepiride
Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking glimepiride it is important that your doctor or pharmacist knows:
- If you are pregnant, trying for a baby or breast-feeding.
- If you have kidney or liver problems.
- If you have been told you have porphyria or glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. These are rare inherited disorders.
- If you are taking any other medicines. This includes any medicines you are taking which are available to buy without a prescription, such as herbal and complementary medicines.
- If you have ever had an allergic reaction to a medicine.
How to take glimepiride
- Before you start this treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack. The leaflet will give you more information about glimepiride and a full list of side-effects which you may experience from taking it.
- Take glimepiride exactly as your doctor has told you to. It is prescribed as a single dose to be taken shortly before, or during, breakfast. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water. To begin with, you will be asked to take 1 mg-strength tablets, although the strength of your tablets may be increased if needed. There are several strengths of glimepiride tablets.
- If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses together to make up for a forgotten dose.
Getting the most from your treatment
- It is important that you keep your regular doctor's and clinic appointments. This is so your progress can be monitored. You are likely to need regular check-ups with an eye clinic and a foot clinic as well as with your doctor and diabetes clinic.
- Your doctor may recommend that you test for sugar in your blood or urine regularly to check that your diabetes is being controlled. Your doctor or diabetes nurse will show you how to do this.
- If you have been given advice by your doctor about changes to your diet, stopping smoking or taking regular exercise, it is important for you to follow the advice you have been given.
- Check with your doctor before taking up any new physical exercise, as this will have an effect on your blood sugar levels and you may need to check your blood or urine levels more regularly.
- Drinking alcohol is not advisable with glimepiride. If you do have a drink, keep well within the recommended alcohol limits, as alcohol will affect the control of your blood sugar.
- If you are due to have an operation or dental treatment, you should tell the person carrying out the treatment that you have diabetes and that you are taking glimepiride.
- If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel very tired, then let your doctor know. Your dose of glimepiride may need adjusting.
- Make sure you know what it feels like if your blood sugar is too low. This is known as hypoglycaemia, or a 'hypo'. The first signs of hypoglycaemia are feeling shaky or anxious, sweating, looking pale, feeling hungry, having palpitations (a feeling that your heart is pounding), and feeling dizzy. If these happen you should eat or drink something containing sugar or have a snack straightaway. Hypoglycaemia may occur if you miss a meal, if you exercise more than usual, if you are ill, or if you drink a lot of alcohol.
- If you are a driver you should take special care, as your ability to concentrate may be affected if your diabetes is not well controlled. Make sure you know what it feels like if your blood sugar is low. You may be advised to check your blood or urine glucose levels before you travel and to have a snack with you on long journeys.
- Treatment for diabetes is lifelong. Continue to take the tablets unless you are advised otherwise by your doctor.
- If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are suitable for you to take. This is because some medicines may interfere with glimepiride.
Can glimepiride cause problems?
Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side-effects although not everyone experiences them. These usually improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine, but speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any of the following side-effects continue or become troublesome.
|Glimepiride side-effects - these occur only rarely
|What can I do if I experience this?
|Feeling or being sick
|Stick to simple meals - avoid rich or spicy food. Make sure you take your tablets with food
|Drink plenty of water to replace any lost fluids
|Eat a well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water
|Signs of low blood sugar: feeling shaky or anxious, sweating, looking pale, feeling hungry, feeling that your heart is pounding, feeling dizzy
|Eat something containing sugar, such as a biscuit or a sugary drink (not diet), and follow this up with a snack such as a sandwich. Tell your doctor if you notice these symptoms, as your dose may need adjusting
If you experience any other symptoms which you think may be due to this medicine, speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
How to store glimepiride
- Keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children.
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and light.
Important information about all medicines
Never take more than the prescribed dose. If you suspect that you or someone else might have taken an overdose of this medicine, go to the accident and emergency department of your local hospital at once. Take the container with you, even if it is empty.
This medicine is for you. Never give it to other people even if their condition appears to be the same as yours.
Do not keep out-of-date or unwanted medicines. Take them to your local pharmacy which will dispose of them for you.
If you have any questions about this medicine ask your pharmacist.

The Bitter Root Water Forum recently completed a sediment reduction project on a section of Three Mile Creek Road. Because of highly erosive soils in the drainage, Three Mile Creek is a significant contributor of sediment to the Bitterroot River. The goal of this project was to reduce the amount of fine sediment entering Three Mile Creek from the road surface and ditch at the road/creek crossing. BRWF will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this project in reducing sediment as we pursue other projects that will help keep our waters clean.
The Ravalli County Road and Bridge Department (RCR&BD) did an excellent job installing a culvert and applying crushed rock to armor the road surface. We want to express our appreciation to the RCR&BD for their efficient and professional work; they were a pleasure to work with. We also appreciate the cooperation and support of the Miller family of Brown Valley Ranch.
We want to thank the Ravalli County Resource Advisory Council for funding this project and the Ravalli County Commissioners for their support.

It is probably a lousy time to be a chicken in Dallas, but what a great time to be a lover of fried chicken. First we got Sissy's, whose deeply marinated, pressure-fried bird is a true delight. And now we have Chicken Scratch, where the main event, if not as ethereally fabulous as Sissy's, is still pretty good.
It had better be, because this is one of the most limited menus you'll see this side of a drive-through: It's basically chicken, fried or rotisserie, and a scattering of sides. True, there are a couple of salads, but they're so unappetizingly billed ("lettuce, sprouts, seeds and tofu") that you get the sense nobody is really expected to order them.
In fact, the true attraction at this 6-month-old restaurant is its setting. Tucked away off an unlovely north Oak Cliff street just south of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Chicken Scratch is an oasis. Opened by the restaurateurs behind Bolsa and Smoke, the restaurant and its next-door sibling, a bar called the Foundry, are little more than metal sheds. There are a handful of tables inside the restaurant, but really, you just want to place your order at the counter and then head out to one of the picnic tables in the vast courtyard and admire what can be done with industrial detritus. Shipping containers line one side of the yard, their inner walls removed and tables and chairs placed within. Big plastic water tanks, lighted blue and green at night, perch on top of the containers. There's a stage made of wooden pallets, and live music on Friday and Saturday nights can turn the place into a real party. Add some big patches of cactus and rosemary, and strings of overhead lights, and you have a great outdoor spot.
Take a seat and wait for a server to bring your meal (and be forewarned: That can take a while; the kitchen's a tad sluggish). The rotisserie chicken's perfectly acceptable, though it's missing the roasty, woodsy note you'd hope for from the pecan wood it's cooked on, and the skin is far from crisp. The fried chicken's what you're here for: It's skillet-fried to a lovely turn, hot and juicy, enrobed in a flaky, crunchy coat. There are a few shortcomings that keep this bird from soaring: The slightly bland meat could use more flavor. The crust, though tasty, doesn't adhere well to the chicken; you'll end up chasing shards around your plate. And the batter has a sweet note, thanks to a touch of honey. It may be to some folks' taste, but it seems a little odd to me.
Sides include an unremarkable mac and cheese, plus another oddly sweet offering, reasonably crisp french fries seasoned with celery salt, sea salt, pepper and a touch of sugar. Better than either of these are the deeply savory and smoky stewed collards, and the coriander-spiked house-made dill pickles.
If you want dessert, there are frozen fruit pops, in interesting flavors like watermelon, mango, and piña colada. And if you want something stronger than soda to wash down your bird, you'll have to go one shed down to the Foundry. But hey, that's a fine excuse to wander this pleasant courtyard.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
AfroCubism is the realization of producer Nick Gold's simple concept: take a handful of Malian musicians to Cuba, then record their collaboration with some of the island's own. In 1996, Gold's original attempt fell apart when the Malian musicians failed to arrive in Cuba; however, the improvised, last-minute response to the crisis developed into the blockbuster phenomenon Buena Vista Social Club. Fourteen years later, AfroCubism features two of the Malian artists slated for the original project (Bassekou Kouyate on ngoni and Djelimady Tounkara on guitar) along with other stars of Malian traditional music: kora virtuoso Toumani Diabate, Lassana Diabate (balafon), Baba Sissoko (percussion) and vocalist Kasse Mady Diabate. The project's Cuban contingent is led by Eliades Ochoa and members of his Grupo Patria. (You might remember Ochoa as the cowboy hat-clad singer of "Chan Chan" in the Buena Vista Social Club film by Wim Wenders.)
"In 1996, Nick Gold, head of World Circuit Records, invited Ry Cooder to record a collaboration between musicians from Cuba and Mali in Havana. Cooder arrived in Cuba, but the Malians never did (something to do with their visas), and the project morphed into the Buena Vista Social Club: a film, tour, and, most importantly, a record. The album sold five million copies, won a Grammy award, and became the prototype for any record company with ambitions of selling world music. The Malians have no doubt been kicking themselves ever since.
Now, 14 years later, the musicians from West Africa finally get their chance. While it's never going to equal the success of Buena Vista (the circumstances behind that record's fruition are too impossible to match), it offers the opportunity to hear what may seem, on paper, a very strange idea. In fact, the link between Mali and Cuba is extremely strong. Following independence from France in 1960, Mali's President Modibo Keita introduced One-Party Socialism, becoming friends with Fidel Castro in the process. During Keita's reign, Cuban music was actively promoted throughout the country. As a result, many Malian musicians are now as comfortable at playing son and rumba rhythms as their own.
Afrocubism should then offer a perfect union between these two groups of musicians. Unfortunately, despite some real successes, this is not completely achieved. It's apparent which of the songs are written by Malians and which by Cubans, and not because of the different languages they're singing. From a fusion perspective, the most interesting are those with Cuban rhythms, such as the opening two tracks, which both start off sounding like the brothers of Buena Vista before allowing for the Africans to move within their grooves. This is where it gets really interesting as we get to hear Toumani Diabaté playing the kora, a 21-string musical harp, Lassona Diabaté on the balafons, sounding somewhere between a xylophone and marimba, and Djelimady Tounkaru playing the guitar in his own inimitable style.
The contrast between the rustic voice of Eliades Ochoa, leading the Cubans on this album, and the rhythmic tones of the African instruments is delightful, and it is successful all over the album, as "A La Luna Yo Me Voy" and "Para Los Pinares Se Va Montoro" demonstrate later on. There always seems to be enough room in the songs for the Malians to add their inflections and licks, giving the songs extra gravitas and ebb than they would have otherwise.
Although the Malian musicians were well aware of Cuban music, it's possible that the opposite may not be true. This would certainly explain the lack of Cuban flavour on some of the African tracks. Whereas on the songs of Cuban origins, the Malians manage to get over their identity; this never quite happens when the shoe is on the other foot. Cuban flavour throughout Afrocubism is represented by Ochoa on guitar and vocals, and various other musicians playing percussion and horns, yet when the songs are not in Spanish, their presence is largely unfelt. "Jarabi" is a perfect example. The song, written by Toumani Diabaté, is the centrepiece of the album. Its pulsating rhythm, composed of balafons, kora, and minimal percussion, features the stirring vocals of Kasse Mady Diabate, and brings to mind Youssou N'Dour at his best. Apart from a shaker, it has little to no Cuban influence, which shouldn't be an issue as I will listen to the song over and over again, but it does somehow take a little away from the aim of the album. It would have been great to have heard some Cuban guitar playing over African rhythms, but for whatever reason, Ochoas never seems to have the confidence to go down that route.
It's for this reason that this album never quite reaches the goals it set for itself. We get to hear how terrific a number of these African musicians are and how easily they are able to blend their sound into Cuban rhythms, yet we never get to see this in reverse, which is a massive shame. It means that a musical journey which could have been quite groundbreaking has resulted in an album of two halves, of great music from Mali, and of great Malian musicians playing Cuban music. It's still worth listening to as the music is of such high quality, but as a glimpse into something different, it keeps its eyes firmly shut." - PopMatters
"AfroCubism are a supergroup with a history that would make any publicist drool, and an album that almost does justice to their considerable talents. Fourteen years ago, the Malian guitarist Djelimady Tounkara and n'goni player Bassekou Kouyate were supposed to fly to Cuba to take part in the sessions that produced the legendary Buena Vista Social Club. They never turned up, which was perhaps just as well for those Cubans who became international celebrities late in life, thanks to a bestselling album that didn't need African input. But now the collaboration has taken place, at last, with Djelimady and Bassekou joined by other more newly celebrated Malians, including kora virtuoso Toumani Diabaté and singer Kassé Mady Diabaté working alongside the Cuban Buena Vista star Eliades Ochoa and his band. They have recorded an elegant, gently exquisite album, and it's a reminder that while Malians are at ease playing Cuban songs - which have been popular for decades across West Africa - Cubans are not so familiar with the griot tradition. But the collaboration works. There are some classy and varied tracks, from Tounkara showing off his guitar skills on Djelimady Rumba and the Cuban favourite La Culebra, through to Bassekou and Ochoa mixing Malian and Cuban influences in their reworking of Jarabi, and Bassekou, Toumani and Ochoa providing a delicate improvisation around the well-worn Guantanamera. If these great musicians stay together, they are surely capable of even more." - Guardian
Album Reviews:
Down Beat (p.59) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Djelimady Tounkara's brilliantly phrased, crystal-toned lead guitar provides an electric foil to the otherwise acoustic arrangements and is a constant highlight."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ochoa's Grupo Patria provides the rhythmic discipline needed to make sense of the collaboration. Cuban and West African music blends remarkably well."
Uncut (magazine) (p.81) - 5 stars out of -- "[A] blissful mix of mostly traditional tunes....There's a thrilling crispness to the entire record."
Uncut (magazine) (p.35) - Ranked #29 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums of 2010" -- "[A]n amazingly harmonious summit."

Cast your mind back to 1996 for a moment. A group of old-school Cuban musicians are assembled -- with some help from Ry Cooder -- for a recording intended to introduce the rest of the world to classic Cuban music. The resulting Buena Vista Social Club album -- aided by a documentary about the process -- becomes a worldwide phenomenon, inspiring an unprecedented degree of interest not only in Cuban music, but international music of all kinds. A brilliant idea works out perfectly, right? Sure, except that this wasn't actually the original plan. Initially, World Circuit Records' producer Nick Gold had planned for Cooder and the Cubans to be joined by lute player Bassekou Kouyate and guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, two of Mali's finest musicians. At the last minute, the Malians were unable to secure visas to travel to Cuba for the session, and the agenda was re-jiggered. Fast-forward 16 years into the future -- the plans for that original Cuban/Malian crossover are finally realized with the recording of Afrocubism. And this time, not only are Kouyate and Tounkara on hand, interacting with an all-star cast of Cuban players like singer/guitarist Eliades Ochoa and percussionist Jorge Maturell, but there's an additional batch of Mali's finest, including renowned kora master Toumani Diabaté and innovative balafon player Lassana Diabaté (no relation to Toumani). But Afrocubism shouldn't be viewed as some sort of alternative-universe version of Buena Vista Social Club -- it has its own very singular sonic identity. The most immediately striking element is the way the tumbling riffs of the Malians -- particularly Kouyate and both Diabatés -- seem to fall so naturally into the percolating Cuban polyrhythms underlined by Maturell and elaborated upon by Ochoa. There's a lot of listening going on in both camps, and an obvious musical empathy between them. Whether they're playing more Malian-leaning compositions like Djelimady's "Nima Diyala" (where Lassana makes amazing use of dual balafons tuned a semitone apart) or a Cuban classic like the late Beny Moré's "La Culebra," the Afrocubism ensemble puts a whole new slant on the "Afro-Cuban" tag, making for a true musical meeting of minds between the two cultures. ~ J.

Characterizing and Exploring the Implications of Maritime Irregular Warfareby Peter Chalk Brian Nichiporuk Molly Dunigan Paul Deluca Dick Hoffmann
Although irregular warfare includes a range of activities in which naval forces have played an integral role, there has been little examination of the characteristics or potential of such operations in maritime environments. An assessment of the maritime component of a series of historical and ongoing operations reveals that current notions of irregular warfare would benefit from increased recognition of potentialmaritime contributions.
Hired Gunsby Sarah K. Cotton Megan Zander-Cotugno Q Burkhart Ulrich Petersohn Molly Dunigan
This study reports the results of a systematic, empirically based survey of opinions of U.S. military and State Department personnel with Iraq war experience to shed light on the costs and benefits of using private security contractors (PSCs) in the Iraq war. For the most part, respondents did not believe that PSCs were "running wild" in Iraq, but they held mixed views on PSCs' contribution to the U.S. military operation and U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The Markets for Forceby Ulrich Petersohn Molly Dunigan
The Markets for Force examines and compares the markets for private military and security contractors in twelve nations: Argentina, Guatemala, Peru, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, China, Canada, and the United States. Editors Molly Dunigan and Ulrich Petersohn argue that the global market for force is actually a conglomeration of many types of markets that vary according to local politics and geostrategic context. Each case study investigates the particular characteristics of the region's market, how each market evolved into its current form, and what consequence the privatized market may have for state military force and the provision of public safety. The comparative standpoint sheds light on better-known markets but also those less frequently studied, such as the state-owned and -managed security companies in China, militaries working for private sector extractive industries in Ecuador and Peru, and the ways warlord forces overlap with private security companies in Afghanistan.An invaluable resource for scholars and policymakers alike, The Markets for Force offers both an empirical analysis of variations in private military and security companies across the globe and deeper theoretical knowledge of how such markets develop.Contributors: Olivia Allison, Oldrich Bures, Jennifer Catallo, Molly Dunigan, Scott Fitzsimmons, Maiah Jaskoski, Kristina Mani, Carlos Ortiz, Ulrich Petersohn, Jake Sherman, Christopher Spearin.
Out of the Shadows: The Health and Well-Being of Private Contractors Working in Conflict Environmentsby Rachel M. Burns Molly Dunigan Claude Messan Setodji Carrie M. Farmer Alison Hawks
Private contractors have been deployed extensively around the globe for the past decade and may be exposed to many of the stressors that are known to have physical and mental health implications for military personnel. Results from a RAND survey offer preliminary findings about the mental and physical health of contractors, their deployment experiences, and their access to and use of health care resources.
The Uses and Limits of Small-Scale Military Interventionsby Molly Dunigan Caroline Baxter Stephen Watts Christopher Rizzi
The authors assess the utility and limitations of "minimalist stabilization"--small-scale interventions designed to stabilize a partner government engaged in violent conflict--and propose policy recommendations concerning when minimalist stabilization missions may be appropriate andthe strategies most likely to make such interventions successful, as well as the implications for U. S. Army force structure debates and partnership strategies.
Victory for Hire: Private Security Companies' Impact on Military Effectivenessby Molly Dunigan
Private security contractors (PSCs) have had a larger presence in Iraq and Afghanistan than US troops. This book assesses the impact of PSCs, as distinct from other private military forms, and analyzes the ramifications of the use of PSCs for both tactical and long-term strategic military effectiveness. The book begins with an overview of the types of private military and security companies, then frames the problem in terms of theories of the state, military effectiveness, the democratic advantage, and the structure-identity dichotomy in the social sciences. The rest of the book examines different cases of modern and historical privatized force deployment, such as PSCs deployed alongside the national military during Operation Iraqi Freedom, PSCs hired in place of national militaries in Croatia and Sierra Leone, and the American Revolution. The book concludes with policy and regulatory recommendations and ways to prevent abuses. Dunigan is affiliated with the International Security Policy Group at the RAND Corporation.

People have been pestering me for my Blackguard deck. I've been testing this deck quite a bit recently. Tweaking is constantly going on, but I think it's getting pretty close. Here it is in all it's glory. This deck is designed to abuse R&D while keeping the Corp drained of all money.

My ideal hand with this deck includes Blackguard, Snitch, and money. If I can get a turn one Blackguard on the table I will always keep that hand. I never thought I would say this about any of my decks, but Snitch is my MVP card. This deck gets nasty once you have a Snitch out. It forces the Corporation to either stop playing Ice or have no money ever. Between Siphons, Blackguard, and Snitch the Corporation will be feeling the pain.
I've heard people say, "what do I do for my first five turns?" I've been playing this deck a while now, and it has never once taken me five turns to get Blackguard into play. If need be, this deck you can be just as aggressive as a normal Criminal deck in the early game. To any of the naysayers of Blackguard all I have to say is try it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

from a commentator on Generacion Y xeusater dice:
Who describes the Cubano connection with the universe far better than I ever could as an outsider.:
Cubans are like this:
Cubans have left from a small island and have spread throughout the world. One is professor at a university in Australia, another opened a restaurant in Alaska. Nothing stops them, neither cold nor heat. They are seduced by the tropic heat of Florida, but also bear firm-footed the ice in Boston and New York. They don't beg, but work. Those who were poor in Cuba, here are rich. No obstacle stops their belligerent laboriousness if the offer is decent. One is rector at a University, another puts makeup to dead people. They change, but only on the surface. In Miami they still play the "bolita" (forbidden lottery), fighting roosters in secret and sending their children to private schools. In Madrid, they are against Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and in Caracas against Hugo Chávez, always in opposition. They are criticized and envied but deep inside they are admired. Like Galicians at working and Jews for the will to survive, they are a legion, stubborn not to be left ignored.
They bring their warm music, the noise of their drums, black beans, steak with "Moros y Cristianos" and banana. But also bring the sympathy, warmth and dedication. Who are they? Cubans, children of the exile, the only transplanted population (except for Jews), which has not lost its identity in almost half a century. Those who admired Cuba from afar as an example of supreme strength in Latin America, which saw Cuba as an ethnic and cultural miracle, where everything seemed a mess but all worked well, no longer have to go to Cuba to meet it! Here it is in the inside of the United States. This is Cuba. These are the Cubans. Exaggerated, bragging, loud, yes, but also intense, deeply creative and good friends.
And what have Cubans not done in these 50 years of exile to survive with dignity? Which manual activity have they not tested in this or that country? What would seem complicated, they have it done to not stay behind, to avoid being discriminated. In any of those activities they have gone so far, beyond migrations which preceded them by nearly half a century. There's no hospital in United States where there is no Cuban doctor. No newspaper where there is no Cuban journalist, or a bank where there is no Cuban banker, or advertisement company without a Cuban, or a school without a Cuban teacher, or a university without a Cuban professor. In the Major League Baseball their names also shine. In Madrid, the first Latin American poet is a black Cuban. At Coca Cola, Kellogg s, McCormick, Pepsi Cola and many others their leader is or was a Cuban. In the Congress in Washington there are four Cubans, in the U.S. Senate there are two, the Minister of Commerce is a Cuban, the Deputy Minister of Health is a Cuban doctor. Wow, they are few in this country and arrived very recently.
In the borrowed land from abroad they seem to always carry on the forehead the mark of the place they came from. Cubans take Cuba with them. They praise and worship it, because, as well as in the forehead they wear it in they heart. But there is something in the Cuban exile superior to that triumphant career, and that is their hatred to the despotism from which they fled and their love for the land they left. That is what separates and defines them. That gives to their triumphs in the midst of rootlessness, a greatness that otherwise they would not have.
They have finally settled on this land that had received them and where they live on the material things many times better than how they lived in Cuba. But even having everything, if they lack Cuba, they have nothing. Perhaps for this reason they have made their Cuba here. So if you take a good look, you will see that sometimes it seems that the Cuban laughs, but is really crying inside. His son is born, grows, graduates from the University, but the Cuban sighs. "Oh, if he were in my Cuba!". He buys a house, a car or a boat and still sighing. "Ah! If I had everything of this in Cuba!" In a mysterious way, which they can not define, there is a link that drags them over there.
Now that he lost his country, he gets to know that he can not live without Cuba, and he dreams of it at night, and enhances its values and beauty, and idealizes it, and blames himself for not having understood it better, and recreates it in his songs and dances and relive their stories in their customs and their food. Why do Cubans buy today more Cubans books than ever?. Why are their houses, their businesses and their offices filled with palms, flags, coats of arms and portraits of José Martí? Why are they U.S. citizens but STILL CUBANS? Why do they meet in their municipalities formed in exile, erasing old antagonisms of party or class?
Because the Cuban knows that the only thing that genuinely belonged to him was HIS CUBA and to it they want to return. They do not care about being returned their residence or business, if they had. All they want is to return home. The house where he was born was destroyed, the village he knew has become unrecognizable, his mother has died. It doesn't matter. The exiled Cuban wants anyway go to that house in that village and to that tomb. The homeland starts there.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Jefferson golfer Patrick Glenn took advantage of putting during Tuesday evening's nine-hole tri-meet with Washington and Berkeley Springs at Cacapon State Park.
Glenn, who had the day's lowest score at 38, rarely had to three-putt because the greens on the course had a similar feel to Jefferson's home course of Sleepy Hollow.
"I'm used to the slower greens. I saw a lot of three-putts while I kept to two putts except for one hole," Glenn said. "A slow green allows me to attack the ball, so if I don't make it, it will be near enough to the hole for a makeable putt compared to a fast green where if I miss, it goes 10 feet by the hole."

Patrick Glenn of Jefferson hits a shot during Tuesday's tri-meet with Washington and Berkeley Springs at Cacapon State Park.
While Glenn had the lowest score, it was the Patriots who won the meet with a team total of 164 strokes. Berkeley Springs came in second with 184, and Jefferson had 187.
All of Washington's golfers finished with rounds no higher than 46 strokes. Dylan Mumaw finished with the meet's second lowest score of 39, and Ryan Fleming and Mason Kidwell finished as two members of a three-way tie for third with rounds of 40.
"All of our golfers played well, and we were striking the ball good," Staubs said. "The greens were not bad, but our players did struggle there a bit.
"From our first score of 39 to our last score of 46, we have been showing that we have depth."
Bowers was the other member of the three-way tie for the third-lowest score of 40 strokes, and Rhett Beddow added a round of 41 to lead Berkeley Springs. Along with Glenn's round of 38, Logan Shirley finished with a round of 49 along with Zach Johnston and Jared Foust each carding 50 to round out the Jefferson scoring.
The Cougars play next in a quad against Hedgesville, Musselman and Spring Mills at 1 p.m. today at Sleepy Hollow.
Berkeley Springs will play today against Hancock, Maryland, while Washington returns to action Friday agaisnt St. Maria Goretti. Maryland, at Locust Hill.

After being a pariah with the investing community over the last 12 months, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) may have finally stopped this ugly trend with the impressive earnings announcement it delivered in late July.
But while there were plenty of subplots for Apple investors to revel in, the major notable disappointment came from Apple's usually impressive iPad. Though it's fairly described by some as Apple's most successful product ever, the game-changing tablet actually saw sales fall off meaningfully from the same period last year. Despite a slew of tablets coming to market, many thought the iPad's place in consumers' hearts was safe. In this video, tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner explains why this surprise sales slump could mean big things ahead for the iPad in the second half.
As Apple proved most recently with its iPad mini, the tech giant has a history of cranking out revolutionary products... and then creatively destroying them with something better.

CAMDEN — A city man charged with a January robbery here is also a person of interest in connection with three recent sexual assaults, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced.
Meanwhile, a city woman who claimed to have been sexually assaulted Wednesday admitted she'd lied about the incident, authorities said.
She has been charged with providing false information to police, who initially reported that the supposed attack could have been connected to the previous three.
Police said they expect to file charges Thursday or Friday against 19-year-old Kevin Cleveland in at least two of those sexual assaults.
They added investigators are searching Cleveland's home on a warrant.
He was arrested around 6 a.m. Thursday at this home, authorities said, and was charged then with robbing a juvenile female early on the afternoon of Jan. 2 in Farnham Park.
The woman who reportedly lied to police - 25-year-old Janira Lebron - was issued a summons on the fourth-degree offense and released pending a court appearance.
Authorities said Lebron reported she'd been assaulted around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday near Baird Boulevard and Randolph Street.
"She gave information indicating her assailant may have been the same man who sexually assaulted three other women in that area from January to February," stated a release from the Prosecutor's Office.
But Lebron later admitted she'd actually been involved in a domestic dispute with an acquaintance, authorities said.

Hello Robin,
I have been asked to take a look at your question. I don't know if I can help, but I am going to try, ok? Let me ask you a few questions just tobe clear
You live across the street from the Lions Club and the children that you are having a problem with are the children in the afterschool program that go to the Lions Club after school, correct?
These are not your neighbors, these are after school kids?
What is your age?
Have you contacted the Lions Club? if so what was their response?
If this is after school, what time are the children there, and what time do they leave?
Are they there on the weekends?

Some children are enrolled in the Parks Dept of Cosi, some are daycare from other groups. All have been personally contacted by me in the course of the last five years. They are not my neighbors; I am 59; yes, I contacted the Club, they claim it is not their responsiblility as does everyone else I contacted. It's a summer program, they come between 9 and 10 and leave between 2 and three and no are not here on the weekends. And today I was again entertained with 5 minutes of a car honking on and off before they left blasting their horn for the entire block. I am at the point of sueing. This is harrassment, plain and simple. Page 60 of the DOL clearing indicates when horn usage may and may not be used. I have received two phone calls tonight hanging up. Now what?

I see that you've opened another question and are talking to one of our legal experts. If you want to talk to me let me know, I can help you with the emotional aspect and coping, but I cannot give you legal advice. If you want to talk to me let me know, likewise, if you want to close this question let me know that too.

HUNTSVILLE, AL - The Madison County Commission today adopted a 2011 budget that gives employees a 5 percent pay raise, does not increase the employees' share of their health insurance premiums, and restores a 5 percent cut made this year to county departments and outside agencies.
Commission Chairman Mike Gillespie said steps such as a hiring freeze that the commission took this year to hold down expenses enabled officials to draft a good budget for the fiscal year that will begin Oct. 1.
The $120.3 million budget adopted Friday is $8.4 million, or 7.5 percent, more than the 2010 budget. About $5.7 million of the increase is from new grants the county will receive.
Commissioner Mo Brooks, who is running for Congress, boasted that the county was able to give employees a 5 percent raise when other government bodies are giving no raises, and that the county is increasing services when others are cutting them.
"If we remain financially conservative, we can continue to meet our needs," Brooks said.
Holding the line on employees' insurance cost and other savings in the county's health care costs can be attributed to a review that found 110 people participating in the county's health care insurance who were not eligible, Commissioner Dale Strong said.
"That was a huge savings for this county," Strong said.
The new budget restores the 5 percent cut that commissioners made to county departments, commissioners and outside agencies this year and includes a one-year appropriation to pay for a new circuit judge and staff beginning Jan. 1.
The budget includes 10 new jailer positions to bring the total staffing level to 207 jailers.
The capital account includes $1 million to repair and renovate the ninth and 10th floors of the courthouse where the jail was located, renovations for a courtroom for the new circuit judge, and renovations for a new juvenile court facility.
The Water Department will have to take $1.2 million from its reserves to balance its budget.
The general fund is expected to have $1.37 million in reserves and the capital account will have $1.55 million in reserves.
On the revenue side, slight increases are expected from state gasoline taxes, building inspection fees and payments from Huntsville to help run the new jail.

GTA: Nice CityOh, why do to today's game tapes have to be so gory and full of salty language and filthy sexy sex? Corrupted gamers, welcome to Nice City, an experiment in bringing Pleasantville sensibilities to the oh-my-goodness immoralty of the GTA series, written in the parlance of a 50-year-old Congressman who hasn't played a game since 1986. Here's how it works: Members play the wicked GTA series of game cassettes and suggest their own minigames that do not involve any improper behavior--no prostitutional hanky panky, no saying yes to the pot or the cocaina, no exceeding the speed limit, and no horseplay or monkey business or other assorted horse business. Then members name and describe their minigame in a few brief steps, along with screenshots of their fun. Some rules: 1) You certainly don't need to have solved your GTA program to participate. In fact, I doubt you can accomplish much mannerly activity in the tape during its lurid missions. Just invent your minigames while out and about in the city. 2) Please write your descriptions as if you are a kindly old senator. Write proper, like in the big-band days. 3) No fatties. Now go and play nice, young men and ladies.

Semantically, a remote procedure call should ideally behave exactly as
a normal procedure call, so changing a call from normal to remote or
vice versa has no sematic effect. However, because a RPC is often
executed in parallel with the caller, side effects may come in a
different sequence. Also, aince RPCs require marshalling of arguments
and results, this may put some limitations to what argument and result
types are possible.
In terms of compilation, there are huge differences. I mentioned
marshalling, but there are also synchronisation issues.

Scout your yard for sod webworms. It is amazing with three stores (Possum's), the stories you hear from lawn care people and homeowners about these worms. They can eat so much so fast it is amazing. Whether it is the professional or the DIY homeowner that has worked hard all summer to grow a uniform stand of turf, the sod webworm just doesn't seem to care.
To scout for this varmint, look for scalped grass that has bite marks on the leaf blade. Moths flying around in a zigzag pattern in and out of the turf at dust is also a dead giveaway.
Scale, aphids and lace bugs are still out there sucking the life out of you plants. Evergreens you could use a drench product like Dominion. If your plant or tree is losing leaves for the winter, horticultural oil might be a better choice, depending on the infestation.
Winterizing your turf and shrubs should also be considered. No one likes to go to sleep hungry. Possum Minors, 00-00-25 Sulfate of Potash + minors, SeaHume, Cotton Burr Compost and / or Excell are a few options. Watch out for the national marketing campaigns that promote products that were not designed to be used in this area.
I'm sure you have put out one round of preemergent herbicide by now for winter weed control in your beds and turf. If not, better late than never.
If you are changing out flowers in containers or hanging baskets, consider incorporating HydroStretch or Hort-a –Sorb. These products help manage water and your plants will not dry out so fast.
Fire Ants are out in big numbers after all the rain we had earlier this year. One bait product that works very good and is very reasonably price is Extinguish Plus. This product has a growth regulator in it and usually keeps ants out of an area for six months. Bait products or contact killers usually work best if spread over the whole yard.
Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a federal law.
Bill Lamson-Scribner can be reached during the week at Possum's Landscape and Pest Control Supply. Possum's has three locations including one at 481 Long Point Rd. in Mount Pleasant (971-9601). Bring your questions to a Possum's location or visit us at http://www.possumsupply.com. You can also call in your questions to "The Garden Clinic." Saturdays from noon to 1 p.m. on 1250 WTMA. The Horticulture Hotline is available 24 / 7 at possumsupply.com.

Despite being viewed as the banking sector laggard, Citigroup (NYSE: C ) reported strong first-quarter earnings, and shares responded quite positively. On the other hand, despite record profits, Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) disappointed investors with their quarterly results.
In this video, Motley Fool banking analyst David Hanson tells investors why Citigroup shares are moving higher, and if they still have room to run.
Citigroup's stock looks tantalizingly cheap. Yet the bank's balance sheet is still in need of more repair, and there's a considerable amount of uncertainty after a shocking management shakeup. Should investors be treading carefully, or jumping on an opportunity to buy? To help figure out whether Citigroup deserves a spot on your watchlist, I invite you to read our premium research report on the bank today. We'll fill you in on both reasons to buy and reasons to sell Citigroup, and what areaCitigroup investors need to watch going forward.

When Tim Whitby checks into a hotel, he's not intending to check out again -- but then he meets Katrina Blake, a woman in need of rescue. When Arkle, Baxter and Trent inherit the family business, they're not planning on making a go of it -- there are quicker ways of getting rich, if you're not squeamish about the violence involved. And when Zoe Boehm agrees to track down the the masked men who robbed Harold Sweeney's jewellery shop, she's hoping to pay off the taxes she's avoided. She's not expecting to wind up in a coffin. But Arkle has a crossbow; Tim has a life that's run out of purpose, and even battered Katrina has her secrets. And death, like taxes, can't be avoided forever.… (more)

Can anyone here do it? Not me, dicks too short and I'm not flexible enough.
How about cumming on your own face/mouth? I like the videos of the shemales who throw their legs over their head and take a big shot in the face.
Can anyone here do it? Not me, dicks too short and I'm not flexible enough.
How about cumming on your own face/mouth? I like the videos of the shemales who throw their legs over their head and take a big shot in the face.
I've had nightly dreams about giving myself a blow job, but sadly I've tried and I am about a foot from doing so successfully. As far as ejaculating in my own mouth, I did ejaculate on my lips (without trying to) and the sperm tasted rather salty. I've also hit my eye once or twice.
When I was in my teens, I practiced yoga. I was, after much stretching and trying, able to get a small part of my penis tip to my lips. There was very little pleasure due to the discomfort of the position and the small amount of my penis that I could actually reach and stimulate. I was never able to achieve orgasm in that position and soon gave it up. Believe me guys, it just wasn't worth the effort. Your hands work much better for that job. And if you have any fleshlight, you are way ahead in terms of pleasure than trying to suck yourself.
Perhaps someone else may be more successful, but for me, and I was a VERY horny teenager (who wasn't?), it just wasn't worth it.
Self suck? This is Alpine combined
I wish I could but I'm not flexible enough. Maybe I should take on yoga. When I was younger I was able to lick the tip though. As for cumming on my face, I've done it a couple of times and shot in my mouth once, wasn't crazy about the taste.
I'd love to be able to suck my own dick, lol. Im 6.5-7in max and I cant even get close to it. Not long enough and not flexible enough. Even if I could get my head in my mouth, I still wouldn't be satisfied....I'd want to deepthroat it!
But, if we could suck our own dicks, most of us would probably never bother getting married lol
As far as doing it, I've never been able to and it usually left me with a sore neck...
As for tasting my load, before I switched to FLs to masturbate I'd end up shooting myself in the face a lot and it would get on my lips and I'd taste it; wasn't bad. When I'm horny as hell I'll eat my precum; no idea why, it just happens before I know I'm doing it.

Standing up, dick fully erect, I can get my tongue and lips around my head but strangely I can't do it as easily sitting down. It's not something i can get off to and it's not that comfortable for a extended period.
If anyone does want to improve their flexibility, it's as simple as touching your toes. Every day, just stand feet together and try to touch your toes for 30 seconds. At the end of 30 seconds, you should be able to stretch down even further. Hold that for 10 more seconds and your done.
At least 40 seconds a day and you can easily improve flexibility.
is it even comfortable to bend that far?
My dick is exactly 7 inches long, and I'm pretty flexible since I did gymnastics and taekwondo since I was a kid. I can put the head of my dick in my mouth (yes I've tried it before), but I can't get the whole thing in. It's not particularly comfortable, and I wouldn't be able to get off like that. Plus, I am not turned on by the idea of cumming in my own mouth (gross). So it's just not my thing. I only did it just to see if I could.
Every time I see this topic I keep thinking this scene:
I used to do it when I was younger. I used to be flexible but with age I just can't quite reach lol. I think I would never leave the house if I could get my whole cock in.

Of all the stories FFA members heard during the 87th National FFA Convention & Expo, 2013-2014 National FFA President Brian Walsh reminded them during his retiring address of what he believes is the most important story of all: Their own story.
Walsh told the crowd that because he didn't believe he had an extraordinary story to tell, he couldn't be a success or an inspiration to others – but he realized that your story doesn't have to be unusual in order to be a success.
We really shouldn't be surprised that it happened — it was really always going to come to this after the election a year ago — but we're a little surprised about how well it was choreographed.
Yeah, the 2013-14 National FFA Officer Team went full boy band Friday night at convention. Team Boyband. Continue reading
Each year, the National FFA Officer Team puts a lot of work into developing the annual FFA theme. It's important to them that the theme strikes a chord with FFA members and inspires action. This year, that theme is "Go All Out!"
And in the name of that theme, the 2014-15 officers wanted to do something different. They wanted to make sure that the anthem to that theme — the annual theme song — went far and wide before the National FFA Convention & Expo even occurred.
Today, we're here to make that happen — for the first time ever. Continue reading
It started Tuesday.
Naturally, we had to respond. And so we did — Wednesday, right here in the parking lot of the National FFA Center! That's when National FFA CEO Dr. Dwight Armstong and the National FFA Officer Team all joined the #IceBucketChallenge to gain awareness for ALS.
Check out how they fared — one of those buckets went a little awry — and see who we challenged next. Continue reading

Let's face it, interviews can be nerve-wracking. You walk into a room of random people, answer some questions and they get to know you a whole lot better than you get to know them.

FFA members from the Chipola FFA Federation spent their Presidents Day giving back to the community. Comprised of schools within the Chipola College district, the Chipola FFA Federation strives to support all FFA members through a variety of activities.
