Skip to comments.Russia threatens to strike NATO missile defense sites
Posted on 05/03/2012 12:33:33 PM PDT by Navy Patriot
Russias most senior military officer said Thursday that Moscow would preemptively strike and destroy U.S.-led NATO missile defense sites in Eastern Europe if talks with Washington about the developing system continue to stall.
A decision to use destructive force preemptively will be taken if the situation worsens, Russian Chief of General Staff Nikolai Makarov said at an international missile defense conference in Moscow attended by senior U.S. and NATO officials.
The threat comes as talks about the missile defense system, which the U.S. and its allies insist is aimed at Iranian missiles, appear to have stalled.
We have not been able to find mutually-acceptable solutions at this point and the situation is practically at a dead end, Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said.
Ellen Tauscher, the U.S. special envoy for strategic stability and missile defense, insisted the talks about NATO plans for a missile defense system using ground-based interceptor missiles stationed in Poland, Romania and Turkey were not stalemated.

Those of us in the gaming community that don't like Call of Duty call it Call of Dookie. It's about the worse thing you can find for realism, tactics and intelligence required.
I agree with an earlier poster that this is all a ruse, so Hussein can "stand up" to Russia to win votes, and THEN give away the farm after the election.
This was probably part of the plan since Hussein hussled the captured Russian spies back to Russia in a huge hurry.
"Now we see the fruits of the Obama Doctrine: Peace through weakness."
And peas in our time.
FUBO, and the media sycophants you rode in on!
Sadly yes. But it will be under Obama. That I believe.
Lessee....Putin was back seat driving until what a week ago, and now he's jumped over the headrest back into the drivers seat.
Seems to me he is beating his chest, and flipping the wee birdie to the very weak Obama Administration. Sounds something like "reset this Community Organizer".
Chilling Video
Just a quick caution. Please be very careful regarding any comment linking physical harm and the President.
I'm sure you were not threatening POTUS in any way, but I would hate to see a situation where the USSS, which I'm sure monitors FR, would mistakenly think you were. That would be bad for all of us.
Are you saying Russia is concerned about Muslim takeover of Europe?
I don't give a damn what country's missiles were going after; make the damn thing work, work well and work every time and tell the world such with a stern warning; "The very best parts of your country will go missing if we have to use our system."
Has it occurred to anyone that russian intelligence has concluded their agent obama won't win reelection? They have to get what they can now.
or in bed with a guy....
C'mon dudeskis...obammy said if you'll give him some flexability he'll help y'all out after the election. Remember?
Absolutely not, but RR would have had NATO in complete control.
Observe how NATO was used against Libya by Zero, compared to Reagan's strike to completely reign in Qaddafi. Reagan did it right, and put Qaddafi under the US thumb for life. Bush disarmed his nukes.
Zero got oil for Europe, and cash, gold and weapons for Muslim Brotherhood terrorist war against Israel. We got to pay the terrorists.
The operative word here is "threatens" The Russkies have been threatening to do this or that since I was in 3rd grade. They know they can push Barry around. Thats going to end in Nov when we throw him out on his ear. Mitt may not be my personal choice but I doubt he will bend to the Russians.
This is just one part of the "more flexability," Obama was telling Medved to pass on to Putin.
The Man who despises America
In parts of Europe, yes.
Observe Russia's reaction to the Clintoon NATO war against the Serbs and the Islamization of Kosovo, they were NOT happy.
Observe the Putin engineered punishment of Georgia (identical justification as Serbia) where Russia demonstrated what happens if you have an interest in joining NATO (Georgia; Ukraine) and wish to kiss Western European ass.
Observe how Putin has Chechnya on the barbecue.
Still, it is really about the Russian Empire and how all Europe will be a part of it. The Western European states will just have to suffer their Muslims as well as Russia, or they could send their infidels to fight to protect Muslims, if they wish.
What say you Ernie?
President Bush is not a coward, and he is absolutely not a traitor and I am sure Romney is neither, but men of General George S. Patton's courage are few and far between, and almost never President.
Would Putin pull the trigger? He already has, and dared NATO or the US to come to the aid of Georgia.
Why not? He had been bending over since Frank Marshall Davis introduced him to the business!
This thread should be pinged to the 0h0m0sexual agenda ping list, composite/compressed "girlfriends" not withstanding!
This is like buying a bullet proof vest and putting it on and walking outside and your next door heighbor starts taking shots at you BECAUSE you are wearing a bulletproff desk....
That is indeed a possibility.
Interestingly, Putin has endorsed Zero's reelection and actually contributed to his campaign. (Yeah, I know it's illegal, he did it anyway.)
But the big thing is: Russia doesn't need to wait.
They can do this now, or with whatever President we have on January 14, 2013, it doesn't matter what we do.
However the meeting is now and Putin gets to show his strength as he takes office in Russia. there are a lot of Russian nationalists that love this kind of display of Russian strength.
Actually, we have had the bullet proof vest on for some time, Patriot 3 is operational in the US.
This is a quicker reacting system we will provide for Europe, and its not in place yet. It's like there is a third neighbor (Europe) between the two and they will shoot at him if he tries to put on the bullet proof vest we gave him.
I throw this out for what ever it is worth. Six months ago at a meeting, I made friends with two Russian Cosmonauts who were retired Colonels (the same military rank as I) were discussing our relative countries positions. After several bottles of wine, we were definite friends. All I can say is to solve the worlds problems, supply French Wine. This was at a meeting in Peru.
That was my take on it when I saw the headline on Drudge.
They are enjoying the fact that there is a singularly weak and foolish "American" as Commander in Chief, but they understand that their current good fortune is a rapidly wasting asset, so they are going to try and get what they can while the getting is still good.

The Republic you save may be your own.
Thanks Navy Patriot.
Now I consider Marxists, Communists and Islamicists my mortal enemies, and liberals, progressives and socialists criminals.
I consider Russian, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese people tough competitors.
Separating who is Communist, or STILL Communist, and who is not, is now very difficult, and very important.
We can get along with competitors form a position of economic and military strength, but we can never get along with Communists or Islamicists.
"Screw Russia."
A reasonable and worthy sentiment, in a world in which America has a C-in-C unfailingly and without hesitation committed to the defense and survival of America.
But, . . . ?????
1.) China announces several years back that they had begun an economic war against the US.
2.) Russia has been threatening NATO in regards to missile defense sites in Europe.
3.) NATO is meeting in Chicago at McCormick Place on the Near South Side in 2 weeks.
4.) There are planned "military exercises" for the NEXT week/weekend involving Russian paratroopers using US weapons and armament to "take and hold" the CIA main computer building in CO, the NSA main computer building in Utah, as well as Denver International Airport. Add to that the Chinese DESTROYERS, SUBS, and HOSPITAL SHIP that are sailing across the Pacific at this moment?
Anyone else a little confused as to how our President or our military can justify holding joint military exercises with countries who are threatening our safety and stability, and that of the entire Western World?
This smells to high heaven, especially when you add in the ties between these countries and terrorists, Fast and Furious and the connection between cartels and terrorist cells, Obama's insistence on NOT enforcing illegal immigration laws...
Am I alone in seeing this, or are others (esp. current or former military personnel) seeing how bad this may indeed be. I fear that Obama is enough of an idiot to LET Russia and China take over thinking they'll let him have a piece of the pie or something.
In other words am I the ONLY one that doesn't trust the Russians and Chinese to actually LET GO of those sites once they're inside???
Yeah, organizing military training exercises WITH the Russians and the Chinese - what you expected him to PROTECT us?
I don't know where you get this. I wrote Osama as in Osama Bin Laden... It takes more than ordering a hit on Osama to insure global safety, it is a more comprehensive approach.
Of course, here the Soviet aparatus is somehow trying to trigger a default to UN and international bureaucratic subserviance in the creating of this problem, and they feel confident to navigate this political-military-bureau complex to their peace benefit.
This is a pretext because the Soviet/Russia aparatus sees itself losing on the Iranian front eventualy, looking like they are the real freaks of the world. So they have to precipitate a conflict over third party reasons such as the nuclear shield or what not.
As for Obama himself, he sure is inadequate to say the least, and punishing others of his own presence of incompetence in self hate, much like rapists do. He has lived by the rape as a raped child, and, much like a prostitute feminists who only see men through the prism of sex, it is all that Obama is looking at things, rape or accept being raped. He has no other imagination.
The automatisms of quick condemnation he preaches I do not, but discoveries, trials and tribulations it will be. The only ones threatening the President are those who are corrupt and who live by automatisms and empowerments - Columbia scandal style. That was an epic moment in making this bureaucratic thuggery acceptable in his own very bureaucratic circle. WHat was it he said? FORWARD? OH, really...
Of course, anyone else then is going to be picked at as a result... "Rusky" hypocrite style.
I haven't been following this stuff for many years. I just think back to all the "it will never work" comments back at the start of the SDI programs. Guess it does work. If it didn't the Russians wouldn't be so worked up about it.
It's the entanglements and stupid "relationships", the ones the ignoramuses of MFN/NAFTA/globalists claim to be for, yet they have no clue about real relationships beyond making a quick easy buck. The State Department is neck deep to the nose in that excrement of "relationships", these cowards who only think about getting first class tickets and medical care wherever they work, and having it all nicey nice around them, so much so they did not want to go to Iraq and do their jobs.
These relationships are a psycho passive aggressive behavior of our enemies, much like the psycho who wants to wear the same cloth as you and have the same looks and hair, before going to kill you. It's a two prongued attack, one with a nuclear face, the other with a nicey nice infiltration and control and destruction of identity resulting in a paralysis from ability to effectively retaliate.
But there also is a creepy motion by the RUssians here. They want to be nicey nice with us, controling the SDI project, stealing our jobs and identities, so to speak, being friends by force of threats, basically. And we are letting them intimidate us.
This is what it is all about: surrender or we will attack, in gradual fashions of "relationship" "building".
Also, this is not about war, this is about control.
Russia is perfectly happy with the anti missile system being built, but Russia insists that Russians will have the root passwords to the system and Russian technicians will man the control centers for the missiles.
They are fine with it if they control the system. If not, it won't be built.
Zero can play tough and give the Russians the passwords and control centers quietly, APPEARING to back the Russians down and build the system.
All of your examples are similar form of quiet cooperation with Russia and China, so yes, there is a pattern here.
What few people remember is Reagan offered to share the SDI technology with the Russians (Gorbachev) to prove they could trust him and the US.
"Trust but verify" did work both ways and the Russians dealt with Reagan with respect and trust, Reagan returned the same with inspections for both sides, by both sides.
Not a shot was fired, not a shot was threatened, and the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw Pact) went away because it wasn't necessary.
Now look what Clintoon and Zero have wrought by being untrustworthy cowards.
We truly need a Ronald Reagan, wise strong, trustworthy.
My absolute stupidity.
Old eyes.
Sorry 'bout that.
There is a big difference between attacking Georgia and attacking our missile defense system. We would be forced to respond. The Russkies know that.
Bush should have seen Georgia coming but for some reason he didn't. I think he really thought he and .
Vlad were buddies. After the fact there wasn't a lot he could do. Sarkozy carried our water on that one.
Like we responded when our military assets were taken by North Korea and China?
These are also on foreign soil, and the state involved may not wish to incur the Russian wrath that would descend upon it for allowing the US to respond? When has France or Italy ever defended themselves?
What has happened to states cooperative with the US recently when they needed assistance like peaceful Egypt?
Finally would Zero give the order?
How many American cities would you sacrifice to protect France from Iranian missiles?
Like I said the Russians are good at threats. They are not going to attack a NATO missile shield. Not gonna happen. If The quisling we jokingly refer to as the president was not sitting in the oval office they probably wouldn't even make that threat.
Hiding under his desk.
Russia, along with several other globalist entities including many American politicians and corporations, will not stand idly by and watch this once in a lifetime opportunity to "revolutionize" the world disappear.
The misery will not last very long - their wicked acts will come to an end.
Russia and China are aligned with Iran and those three will be soon aligned with the EU...just how in the world does that qualify as backing Christianity over Islam?
There ya go.
The Russians know their "guy"...
...obama is America.
And the Russians have pretty much figured out obama...

Wando shutout Fort Dorchester, 2-0, Tuesday at home in the opening round of the Class AAAA boys soccer playoffs.
The Warriors win sets up a second-round rematch with Dutch Fork, who ousted Wando, 2-1, in the second round last season.
Wando (25-1-1) dominated possession throughout the game, constantly pressuring the Patriots backline and goalkeeper Josh Smith. Warriors head coach Shilo Tisdale says his only concern was that his team didnt score more.
We should have put more in the back of the net, he said. Weve got to put our opportunities away. Weve got to have quality inside of 18 feet.
Senior forward Alex Bourland put Wando on top in the ninth minute with a fancy display of dribbling through the defense before firing from 15 feet out.
Tucker Heffron broke free in the 54th minute and crossed a shot off his left foot into the bottom right corner of the net for his 19th of the season.
Fort Dorchester (13-7-1) had its best look at the net in the 49th minute but was quickly sealed off by the Warriors defense before getting a quality shot attempt off.
All the pressure was on (Wando) tonight, Fort Dorchester head coach Chris Jones said. We wanted to try to frustrate them into making mistakes. We were right there in it. We just couldnt capitalize on their mistakes.
Dutch Fork won 3-1 at Carolina Forest Tuesday. Armed with the added motivation of their recent tumble down the rankings, Tisdale says his Warriors are excited about their shot at redemption Thursday against the Silver Foxes.
Losing in the second round last year, our kids realized they cant take any game for granted, he said. Theyre fired up and focused right now. The training sessions have been outstanding. They know whats ahead and they want to come out and prove themselves Thursday.

'Rooney who?" is not a question people will be asking much longer.
On Tuesday at 7 p.m., David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - the first installment in the U.S. version of Stieg Larsson's mega-selling Millennium Trilogy - opens in theaters. And there Rooney Mara will be, pale, pierced, and punked-out, hacking into encrypted databases, sleeping with Daniel Craig (and with a woman she picks up at a bar), taking vengeance on a sicko state-appointed guardian . . . if you've read the book (and who hasn't?), you know what's in store.
And Mara, who had a couple of scenes in Fincher's Oscar-nominated The Social Network, and who starred in the 2010 remake of Nightmare on Elm Street but who was pretty much unknown to the world, is Lisbeth Salander, the small, fierce, androgynous Swede with the photographic memory and the childhood trauma kicking around in her head. Mara won the role over the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and a bevy of other big-name stars.

Victor Ortiz: I'm The Underdog Once Again, I'm Ready
By Chris Robinson
Yesterday I caught up with former champion Victor Ortiz moments before his workout inside of the Knuckleheadz Gym in Ventura, California.
Ortiz is eyeing a February 11th date with Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada in what is serving as a rematch to one of 2011's finest fights. The two prizefighters met this past April and traded a pair of knockdowns within the first six rounds but it was Ortiz who was a little busier and more aggressive on the inside as he pulled out a unanimous decision.
Ortiz followed that performance up by landing his biggest fight to date, a September 17th showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr., and saw his name thrust into the spotlight. Ortiz would end up losing the contest by a 4th round knockout, however, and realizes his back is again up against the wall as another dance with Berto nears.
"I've been working hard. I've been doing exactly what the coaches want me to do," Ortiz said as he gave a glimpse into his latest camp. "I've been executing every plan as planned. I don't talk to the coaches or talk back to them. What's said to me is done. I just keep pushing forward and keep pushing a little harder than the day before. As far as being ready, that's not even a question in my mind. As far as getting past Berto, that's definitely not a question I got to worry about."
Asked what realizations he has discovered about himself after the rollercoaster ride he's been on, Ortiz points to a lack of respect from fans and the media,
"I've learned that I've been counted out for too long, by everyone," he continued. "Once again, I'm an underdog once again. I don't mind it one bit. It's the story of my life. As far as that goes, I'm ready."
The next question was then tweaked a bit as I pressed Ortiz for what he has learned about Berto as a fighter and person since their first encounter.
Ortiz didn't hesitate when giving an answer, pointing to Berto's June 1st antics that saw the Haitian-American take to his personal Twitter account and hint that Ortiz had been under the use of performance-enhancing drugs in their first contest.
That deed alone has seemed to place a chip on Victor's shoulder.
"He sat there and accused me of certain things that I won't even get into. I can just say that he spoke the truth about himself, just using me as a face," Ortiz continued. "He threw curveballs this way for no reason. He's trying to convince himself that he never arrived that night. The world knows he did. Everyone who knows boxing knows Berto was on his game that night."
Though our conversation was brief, it was easy to get a feel for where Ortiz is at in his life, relishing the role that he perceives as the underdog yet again.
So vested is he into the rematch that Ortiz didn't bother to even bring up anything negative towards Mayweather, whose victory in September saw him catch his foe unsuspectingly with a left-right combination that all but ended the fight moments after referee Joe Cortez had taken a point away from Ortiz for a flagrant head butt along the ropes in the fourth round.
It was one of the stranger scenes inside of a boxing ring in recent memory but it's also something that Ortiz is paying no attention to.
"I'm not here to talk about Floyd," he continued. "I'm here to talk about my fight coming up. The past is the past. It's all over the media."
bump :luvbed::boxing:Comment by AzteK Warrior on 01-25-2012
you're not an underdog.. You're a fkn traitor to your own people!!! You took money under the table to allow Floyd to continue fooling the boxing fans. You, GBP and MayFlower Productions are a fkn disgrace... and YES.. I hope…Comment by FirePunch on 01-24-2012
Underwear model better not quit this time . If victor had half the heart gatti and corrales had hed be great . But ifs ifs and ifs wont do ****Comment by tlarry on 01-24-2012
Had all the tools to rough up, scare, and intimidate Floyd, eventually knocking him out.... one slight problem, while the game plan was wise to turn it into a street fight, and rough up Floyd, because he doesn't like that…Comment by Osirus022 on 01-24-2012
Lmao, I had no idea people hated Ortiz like this lol. This is harshPost a Comment - View More User Comments (27)

It won't stall that easy. As for turning tap the controll, it can turn at a very small circle but it looses height quickly so try it when at altitude.
And don't worry about braking it, it's indestructable (almost) i had a few crashes from 20 feet up nose down onto the pavemant and nothing broke!
BTW i found the single wing version of it with batterys for 25euro.
here it is.
have to wait for the wind to go down to make a test flight.
length 23cm
wingspann 23cm
weight 18grams
At throttle position 2..3 i can keep this tiny plane in level fight. The most stable flight pattern i get is in sharp left or righ turns. Flying an 8 or so is no problem, but after releasing the stick, it's hopping like a rabbit .
After a close look at the Rx, the two motors are driven by two pnp ( i think 2SB624, marking code: BV5 ) transistors. My idea is to place an actuator between both motor output poles for rudder control.
PS. today i found a single wing version at toysRus (must wait for calm weather conditions)

The "hopping" is caused by the fact that the plane looses height and goes into a dive. Now it will try to recover but does this to much and the plane stalls, now all off this will repeat itself until u add some trottle to get into level flight. This usualy points out to a tail heavy plane.
Try to add some nose weight (i used a M5 washer) and tape it somewhere between the nose and the wing (experiment).
This will reduce the hopping.
Whacky,... the silver/ blue single wing is wot i've got and the "hopping" is called stalling , yes it needs some nose weight , even if you get a faster glide , you dont want it to stall... hope to fly mine today
well I flu it today...lucky there was just about no wind , I drilled a 4mm hole in the top front, and taped in a bit of lead about 4mm square.
It has a range of around 30m...went out of range first flyt
Very touchy to elevator trim...bent in 2mm up, with the ally tape
Flyt aim is to keep it overhead
I am going to make a bigger wing out of depron/meat tray with more dihedral..around 30cm, and a bigger stab and fin...BTW, if you stay with the stock setup, glue the fin to stab and tail support , Im using GWS glue put on with a toothpick.
recharge after every flyt over 1.5 min...liop's dont like to discharge till flat

I did not have the perfect conditions for a test flight but you say the single wing version also needs some nose weight wright!
I bought the blue blue wing becouse it has the C-frequency and the Bipe has the A-frequency so my girlfriend and i can fly together.
I usualy recharge the battery when there is a decrease in flight power, the first min. the power is strong, than it flattens out for a long time and then the power decreases again. U will notice this when u have to apply more trottle to keep it in level flight.
This is the time i stop and recharge the battery.
Did a mod at the tail section of the single wing x-twin. I have removed the rudder and elevator section, by carefully pulling them out of the holder. After that, i have cut the black tail pipe, that only 7mm stands out of the body. Then i sticked one drinking straw over the remaining pipe (fitt's perfectly) and glued the rudder and elevator section onto the straw with double sided adhesive.This mod saves around 600mg at the tail and with very litte epoxy at the joint point of rudder and elevator it's as stable as before. 1'st flight tests in my living room shows me only a little bit nose up tendency. Waiting for the wind goes down,

Charging problem...
Hi all,
I bought the single wing version yesterday. I tested it today although it is a bit windy. It performs well and is funny.
However,I have problem in the charging function..It is that after about 10 min flight, I charge the plane. However, sometimes when I want to charge the plane, the green light(charge light) doesn't on or sometime the green light doesn't turn off automatically even after 1 hour charging time. Do u thing there is some problem in my controller or do I need to use the other new 6 AA batteries for the controller?
How long u guys can play usually ? I did experiment, the motor can run continuously (at mid throttle) for about 10 min for every 30 min charge...But the charging time is so long I think, do u think so ?
Is it any difference (in term of control difficultity and feeling) between bi-wing and single wing version ?
Would anyone please tell me what is "M5 washer" ?
"How long u guys can play usually ?"
Best time with the biplane was around 14.5 minutes. (at 15 to 30 mph wind speed i can't test the single wing)
"the green light doesn't turn off"
mostly it's a sign, that your 6 AAA batteries are down
"the green light(charge light) doesn't on"
may be it's a contact problem
happy flying
Fwing, use a bit of lead and tape to hold it in...much neater than taping a washer on.
Thats the reason I recharge after most flyts...it does'nt take so LONG and is BETTER for the LIPO battery. Im using rechagable NIMH aa's in my transmitter 2700ah
ROLFPW, I think you will find that the straw will bend where it joins to the plane. ..you might have to glue some extra bit of straw over that join...I try to use the K.I.S.S. system.

My flighttime is between 10 and 15min.
A M5 washer is a washer with a hole for a M5 bolt (see Picture).
You can also use a small screw or these leadballs fisherman use etc.
It's just something i had lying around and i'm to lazy to change it.
About your charging problem, seems like al loose contact somewhere. Try new battery's or return it for another one.
30 mins seems long but this meens that the battery is charged with 2 times its capacity and i don't think they can handle any more than this. Mine takes about 20min on new batterys.

Thanks for u guys' reply and analyse my problem.
Mark, thanks for showing me the M5 washer image. You have both the biplane and single wing version. Do u think they are different in controlling or feeling?
I did a few flights today although it is not a fine and sunny day. the longest flight was about 17-18 min! I start to get used to it. I have try some "advanced" flights such as flying my x-twin babe in very low altitude. Also, I did a few vertical loops today(just fully throttle against the head wind, make it stall and it can loop automatically...fun!), it really funny and amazing that such simple little toys can do such "advanced" action in the air!! I like to fly it just above my head and hover it to write 8 or 0 character just above my head....
Although x-twin belongs to toys level R/C plane, it needs technique and little aerodynamic concept(struggle with the wind) to play it well, such things are not the kids can do and enjoy.....Ha ! too serious ?!
Now, i want to test my babe indoor to see any big diff with the outdoor environment, but I don't know where to find a large room or hall to fly...
Come on! let's share your x-twin experiences....

New London - A closed-door City Council meeting last week appears to have been about the police chief's intention to possibly take legal action against the city in connection with her employment.
The city continues to refuse to release details of the Aug. 10 meeting with Police Chief Margaret Ackley, except to say it concerned a "preliminary draft" of an agreement between Ackley and City Manager Denise Rose.
City Attorney Thomas Londregan said Wednesday the chief remains employed by the city "until she decides to retire," and the agreement remains confidential until she decides to implement it or negate it. She has until Dec. 30 to negate the agreement, he said.
Londregan sent The Day a three-page letter and about 20 pages of backup information in response to a Freedom of Information request for documents pertaining to the chief's employment and communications between her and the city.
He said his office has received two letters from Ackley's attorneys, dated July 29 and Aug. 10.
"A fair interpretation of those letters indicates an intention by the Chief to assert a legal right and the intention to institute an action against the City if relief is not granted," he said. He would not provide the letters, citing attorney/client privilege on behalf of the city.
He also declined to provide a copy of the "Memorandum of Understanding and a Release and Settlement Agreement" between Ackley and Rose, saying it has not been implemented and has not been ratified by the City Council. He said the document is a preliminary draft and is exempt from FOI disclosure if withholding the document outweighs the public interest in disclosure.
In response to a request for other communications between the city and Ackley or her attorneys, he invoked attorney/client privilege and said the city is also "seeking legal advice and expects that the communications are in confidence."
Last week's special City Council meeting was called to discuss Ackley's employment but not her performance or evaluation, Londregan said.
"... Chief Ackley enjoys employment with the City until she decides to retire unless the City has 'just cause' to remove her,'' he said. "The City has no indication of any 'just cause.'"
Londregan had no further comment on the matter. The chief did not respond to an email request for a comment.
Ackley has 25 years with the department, including the last two as chief. She is the first woman to head the 96-officer department.
Her one-page appointment letter, dated June 1, 2009, from former City Manager Martin H. Berliner, sets her salary at $99,428, and gives her the option of maintaining a pension plan under the police union contract or moving to a contributory plan for unaffiliated managers.
Last week, city councilors emerged from the two-hour closed-door meeting and said they were precluded from talking about the meeting because of a confidentiality clause in a document between Ackley and the city.
Before the meeting began, Ackley asked that Councilor Michael Buscetto III recuse himself from participating but he declined. Councilors Rob Pero and Adam Sprecace voted against going into executive session.

CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM)
Important Notice: If you are a broker or importer with Account Security for Release Prior to Payment privileges, we have made changes to our payment systems you need to know about.
The Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) was implemented on January 25, 2016.
What is CARM?
CBSA's Assessment and Revenue Management Project (CARM) is a large, multi-year project to transform how the CBSA assesses, collects, manages and reports on import revenue and trade information.
CARM will replace aging, and non-integrated revenue and cash management systems. It will also improve service delivery by simplifying processes and expanding opportunities for the commercial trade community to interact electronically with CBSA.
Anyone importing commercial goods into Canada may be impacted by these changes.
What is the ARL?
The Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL) is the first phase of the CARM project. See Frequently Asked Questions for more information on ARL.
For more information on account off-setting, please see the CBSA Fact Sheet on Importer Account Off-Setting.
CARM will be implemented in phases by 2020. The first phase of CARM is the Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL), which is being implemented in January 2016.
Engaging industry
The Border Commercial Consultative Committee (BCCC) Sub-Committee on CARM was launched in April 2011 to provide CBSA officials and commercial stakeholders a forum for dialogue on CARM. This sub-committee plays a key role in CARM's success by providing valuable feedback on all aspects of the project, including strategies, policies, and design and implementation.
Smart Procurement
The CBSA has also launched a consultation process following Public Works and Government Services Canada's (PWGSC) Smart Procurement approach. The CBSA will work with vendors and PWGSC in a structured and transparent way to engage industry throughout the CARM project, allowing the CBSA to capitalize on innovative industry solutions.

Socialism: Good intentions, bad idea
By John Pickerill
, Montgomery County GOP Party Chair
Sunday, June 02, 2013 10:00 PM
Most socialists (a.k.a., "progressives") are not bad people with evil intentions. They truly want to help their fellow man. I think this is true of most people regardless of their background. For instance, we Christians have the ultimate goal of following Jesus' commandment to love God and love one another, to feed the hungry, give the thirsty something to drink, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the ill, visit those imprisoned. Jews have the same goal (Lev 19:18). Islam calls for providing for orphans and the needy and treating them justly. Even those who don't believe in God seem to appreciate the principle to care for one another. It's just part of being human. We all have common ground. We all recognize that helping each other makes society the best it can be.
The question becomes how best to do this. Socialists want to use the government to carry out this human responsibility because they believe it's the best way to help their fellow man. Their intentions are good. But a well-intentioned socialist, if they are honest, should understand that if you reach into your own pocket to help your fellow man, that is worth praise. But reaching into another man's pocket to do it is theft, and should be morally condemned. After all, government can't give a dollar to one man without first taking it from someone else.
So if it's morally wrong to use government to force someone else to care for our fellow man, the morally correct choice must be the private sector: private charities and free markets. Private charities are the most efficient way to help those in need. And historically, free markets have produced unprecedented wealth and prosperity. But "progressives" consider free markets unacceptable because they see it as a system that rewards greed and selfishness and creates an unequal distribution of income.
Maybe we can resolve this argument with progressives by seeing that there are two types of "greed," a good greed and a bad greed. Good greed is looking out for yourself without doing harm to someone else. Everyone has the right to self-preservation, and to try to better his own condition. When everyone has the freedom to exercise their own abilities and have the freedom to use the fruits of their labor as they see fit, we get continuous social progress. This is the foundation of property rights. But there is also bad greed. There are some in our society who take the easy way out by living at the expense of one another, for example through fraud, social welfare, or corporate welfare. Instead of living off the fruits of their own labor, they instead choose to plunder their fellow man.
So progressives are right to morally condemn this bad greed. But they shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Personal liberty cannot exist without free markets, respect for private property rights, and the rule of law. And when these are allowed to exist free from government interference, we have the most efficient economic development. And that benefits everyone in society, especially those most in need.
John Pickerill is chairman of the Montgomery County Republican Party.

Giordano Bruno, Italian pantheistic philosopher, poet, playwright, cosmologist and occultist, neé Filippo, was born in Nola, near Naples, in 1548. He studied the trivium (grammar, logic and rhetoric) at the Neapolitan Studium in 1562 but soon became disenchanted with big city life and entered the Convent of San Domenico Maggiore where he took the name Fra' Giordano; ordained in 1572, he became Doctor of Theology in 1575. While at San Domenico, Bruno read voraciously and, among other authors, was fascinated by the work on mnemonics and the philosophy of science of the Catalan Raymond Lull (1232-1315). He also showed early signs of rebelling against orthodox beliefs such as the worship of saints, adoration of relics and the …

Strategic Behavior within Families of Hedge Funds
Olga Kolokolova
University of Manchester - Manchester Business School
October 29, 2010
Journal of Banking and Finance, Forthcoming
The paper investigates the strategic behavior of hedge fund families. It focuses on decisions to start and liquidate family-member funds. Hedge fund families tend to liquidate funds that underperform compared to other member funds, and to replace them by new ones. By choosing a launch time after a short period of superior performance by their member funds, families extend the spillover to new funds. Hedge fund families seem to be more experienced in promoting their funds and attracting fund inflow than in generating superior performance. This results in higher dollar compensation earned by managers within multi-fund families than in stand-alone funds.

Quarterback Kevin Riley saw his first action working with the first-string offense, and had a solid day. The sophomore opened things up in no-huddle action with a long pass to redshirt freshman Michael Calvin and also connected with junior Nyan Boateng for a solid gain.
"It's practice, we'll watch the tape," Tedford said. "Every day's a learning process for everybody. He did some good things and some not good things, just like every day. The reason why you switch the [QBs] between first team and second team is to make sure both get good protection, someone's not always scrambling. You see how Kevin responds to the protection of the first group, and how Nate responds to the pressure with the second group."
In the first round of 11-on-11 action, Riley found Boateng who slipped behind the defense for a 67-yard touchdown reception. Not to be outdone, senior quarterback Nate Longshore found senior Sean Young on a similar pattern for another 67-yard score.
Longshore also hit senior LaReylle Cunningham in stride for a short touchdown in seven-on-seven action while Riley connected with junior Cameron Morrah and sophomore Jahvid Best for scores in the same drill.
Best continued his eye-opening camp with more examples of his superior speed and increased strength, including a nifty 28-yard cutback during 11-on-11.
Other offensive highlights included junior tight end Tad Smith collecting a deep pass down the middle for a score and redshirt freshman Peter Geurts busting into the end zone on a tough run after a short reception.
Defensively, true freshman Marc Anthony snagged his first interception in camp action, returning it for a touchdown. Sophomores Keith Browner and Michael Costanzo both made noise in the backfield and senior Rulon Davis continued to pressure the quarterbacks from his defensive end position. Junior Marcus Ezeff had a pair of touchdown-saving tackles while senior Bernard Hicks made back-to-back athletic efforts to knock away passes.
One true freshman with an added edge over some of his classmates is running back Covaughn DeBoskie, who continues to impress. DeBoskie, along with defensive tackle Kendrick Payne, graduated high school early and enrolled at Cal in January and took part in spring drills.
"Coming into spring, I didn't know anything," DeBoskie said. "But now, I'm starting to get the protections down and I'm starting to read defenses and know what's going on. I'm starting to build more confidence. I'm still making minor mental errors, but once I break those habits, I will be fine.
"My goals [for preseason camp] are to block better; I need to block the linebackers better and chip defensive tackles better. I also need to be more consistent. Coach Gould harps on being consistent in my runs and catching the ball."

RavenDBSelf optimizing Ids
One of the things that is really important for us in RavenDB is the notion of Safe by Default and Zero Admin. What this means is that we want to make sure that you don't really have to think about what you are doing for the common cases, RavenDB will understand what you mean and figure out what is the best way to do things.
One of the cases where RavenDB does that is when we need to generate new ids. There are several ways to generate new ids in RavenDB, but the most common one, and the default, is to use the hilo algorithm. It basically (ignoring concurrency handling) works like this:
var currentMax = GetMaxIdValueFor("Disks"); var limit = currentMax + 32; SetMaxIdValueFor("Disks");
And now we can generate ids in the range of currentMax to currentMax+32, and we know that no one else can generate those ids. Perfect!
The good thing about it is that now we have a reserved range, we can create ids without going to the server. The bad thing about it is that we now reserved a range of 32. If we create just one or two documents and then restart, we would need to request a new range, and the rest of that range would be lost. That is why the default range value is 32. It is small enough that gaps aren't that important*, but it since in most applications, you usually create entities on an infrequent basis and when you do, you usually generate just one, then it is big enough to still provide a meaningful optimization with regards to the number of times you have to go to the server.
* What does it means, "gaps aren't important"? The gaps are never important to RavenDB, but people tend to be bothered when they see disks/1 and disks/2132 with nothing in the middle. Gaps are only important for humans.
So this is perfect for most scenarios. Except one very common scenario, bulk import.
When you need to load a lot of data into RavenDB, you will very quickly note that most of the time is actually spent just getting new ranges. More time than actually saving the new documents takes, in fact.
Now, this value is configurable, so you can set it to a higher value if you care for it, but still, that was annoying.
Hence, what we have now. Take a look at the log below:
It details the requests pattern in a typical bulk import scenario. We request an id range for disks, and then we request it again, and again, and again.
But, notice what happens as times goes by (and not that much time) before RavenDB recognizes that you need bigger ranges, and it gives you them. In fact, very quickly we can see that we only request a single range per batch, because RavenDB have optimized itself based on our own usage pattern.
Kinda neat, even if I say so myself.

Ugh. What is the deal!?! I'm 10 DPO and still waiting (somewhat patiently) to find out if I'm pregnant. Lately, I get so hungry! And right after I've eaten I feel like I'm starving! I'm a little annoyed at this considering I haven't lost all my previous baby weight (LO is almost 11 months) and I really don't need to be gaining a bunch of weight now or even this next time around if I am pregnant.
I just keep drinking water hoping my body will go oh yah, you just ate, nevermind, abort pantry raid! lol
Am I the only one? Lord please tell me I'm not doomed to gain a ton with this pregnancy, too. I mean...if I am pregnant. lol Guess you know where my head is at with that one. :)

We all want a healthy baby, one who grows into a healthy child. Unfortunately, in some cases it's not always how things turn out. Certain genetic conditions can cause birth defects or start to show up as a child develops and certain factors, such as knowing you have a family history of a genetic disease or being of advanced maternal age, can increase the likelihood of your baby being affected.
Genea's world leading Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) gives you a way of reducing or removing that risk.
In a standard IVF treatment, every time a cycle produces more than one embryo, a choice must be made about which embryo will be transferred. That choice is determined by the development and appearance of the embryos, usually over a five day period to work out which one has the best chance of achieving a pregnancy.
However, advances in scientific techniques mean PGD gives us another factor on which to base our decision - the genetic health of your embryo. PGD allows Genea scientists to base the choice on the results of genetic tests they've conducted on your embryos. These tests help us to rule out embryos that contain an obvious genetic abnormality. Testing can involve either a count of the chromosomes and/or a molecular examination for a particular gene or mutation.
PGD can increase the chances of a genetically normal embryo being selected, implanting successfully and your chance of carrying and delivering a healthy baby.
If you're considering IVF, PGD could be an important part of the equation towards you achieving your dream. Learn more about the process of PGD and what is involved.
PGD is recommended for you if you:
If you know you carry a serious genetic condition, genetic testing of your embryos before implantation is an effective and logical way to avoid passing that condition onto your future children.
For example, when two cystic fibrosis carriers conceive a child, there is a 25 per cent chance that the baby will have cystic fibrosis, a 50 per cent chance that the baby will be a carrier and a 25 per cent chance that the baby will be unaffected. IVF with PGD allows the couple to produce a number of embryos, but to transfer only those that are either unaffected by the condition or carriers.
Genea has developed the largest range of tests in Australia - for more than 200 inherited diseases.
It's an unfortunate fact of reproductive science that the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities - that's when your embryo is missing a chromosome or carrying an extra one - increases with maternal age. These chromosomal abnormalities can cause your embryo to fail to implant or miscarry or they might result in a baby born with developmental problems or a serious genetic condition such as Down syndrome.
A form of PGD called Comparative Genome Hybridisation (CGH) lets us screen your embryos to find one that is genetically healthy. The good news is that our PGD results show that following the transfer of a healthy embryo, pregnancy rates among older women do not differ greatly to those achieved by women in younger age groups. CGH can provide you with the best chance of a healthy baby, particularly when time really matters.
Random chromosome problems are thought to be the cause of the majority of miscarriages – what happens is that a genetically abnormal embryo implants in the uterus, but is destined to fail. Unfortunately miscarriages are not uncommon with approximately one in five pregnancies ending in a miscarriage. However, due to advanced maternal age or a number of other possible factors, some women are more prone to miscarriage. If you've experienced multiple miscarriages, considering PGD as part of your treatment may be the best way to achieve your goal.
Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH) is used by our scientists to screen your embryo to ensure it has the correct number and sequence of chromosomes in the DNA and to avoid the genetic faults that could be causing it to miscarry. We then only go on to transfer genetically healthy embryos which gives you the best chance of successful implantation and pregnancy.
Perhaps the problem you're facing is that your IVF cycles are not working because your embryo fails to implant after the transfer. If this has happened a couple of times, your Fertility Specialist may recommend PGD.
Once again to overcome this problem, Genea scientists will use Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH) to screen your embryos for chromosome abnormalities before implantation. Only embryos that have the correct number and sequence of chromosomes will be selected for transfer to give you the best chance of successful implantation and an ongoing pregnancy.
Using PGD to select the sex of your embryo is only allowed in Australia if the testing is being used to avoid passing on a specific sex-linked genetic disorder to a child.
The National Health and Medical Research Council's Assisted Reproductive Technology Guidelines restrict the use of PGD for sex selection in Australia. (see sections 11 and 12 of the ART Guidelines).
For more information on this please contact us.
Genea led the way in investigating and developing PGD in Australia and our expertise and techniques are amongst the best in the world. Genea first launched chromosome testing of embryos in 1995 and expanded that treatment to offering single gene testing in 1998. Our techniques have developed and expanded since we first conducted genetic testing and many clinics have followed our lead and modelled their tests on ours.
Genea was the first clinic ever to successfully introduce Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) successfully for Day 5 embryos in 1999, achieving the first baby ever born using this technique. A review of information from the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) from 2004 to 2008 showed blastocyst biopsy for PGD improves both implantation and live birth rates when compared to biopsy at Day 3. The review showed clinical pregnancy rates from Day 5/6 biopsies were 29 per cent compared to 17 per cent for Day 3 biopsies and 23 per cent of couples undertaking Day 5 biopsy on their embryo delivered a baby compared to 13 per cent of couples whose embryo was biopsied at Day 3.
More than 2,000 single gene disorders have been identified and we are capable of building a test for any one of them. To date, we've been asked to test for approximately 200 disorders, more than any other clinic, and we've developed specific tests for each one, including some very rare disorders.
In 2012, another Australian IVF clinic stated that the holy grail for IVF technology would be the ability to test every one of the 23 chromosome pairs in the embryo before implantation. At Genea we have been doing just that since November 2009.
A couple of Australian clinics have recently begun promoting their "new" PGD technique - microarray Comparative Genome Hybridization (CGH) or microarray CGH. Genea was one of the first clinics in the world to adopt this technique and we've offered it to our patients for more than two years, since 2009. While standard chromosome tests can only detect some of these conditions, this more powerful high-resolution test can identify very small changes in chromosomes that standard tests are not able to detect.
Genea is one of the very few centres in Australia with the vital combination of IVF and genetics facilities to perform these sophisticated tests successfully. Quite simply, if you want to ensure that you benefit from the very latest assisted conception research and technology you could do no better than to come to Genea.
Please do not hesitate to contact one of Genea's PGD scientists should you have any questions.
Telephone: +61 2 9229 6420.
Chromosome abnormalities can include having the wrong number of chromosomes, or having chromosomes that are not completely intact. The most common chromosome abnormality is called aneuploidy which is having either too few chromosomes (e.g. Turner syndrome) or too many chromosomes (e.g. Down syndrome).
Other chromosome abnormalities or imbalances can involve genetic material either added to a chromosome (a duplication) or missing from a chromosome (a deletion). If these imbalances are very small, then they are called microduplications or microdeletions.
Chromosome abnormalities increase the risk of physical and intellectual disabilities. Children with chromosome abnormalities may have altered facial and physical features, be slow to reach developmental milestones, or have learning difficulties or mental retardation.
PGD testing involves carefully removing a small number of cells from an embryo for analysis. From this tiny sample, Genea is able to test whether an embryo has Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease or any of a wide range of other genetic problems. Each of these conditions needs to be tested for separately and we will discuss with you what conditions need to be considered.
Most commonly, PGD is used where a couple is aware of the possibility that their offspring will inherit a genetic disease. Even though they may not have a problem with infertility, the couple undergoes a stimulated IVF cycle with the aim of producing a number of embryos. Genetic material from these embryos is tested to see which, if any, of the embryos carries the genetic disease, and only embryos that do not show the disease are transferred to the woman's uterus.
As we mentioned above, Genea's approach to PGD - biopsy at blastocyst stage improves both implantation and live birth rates when compared to the biopsy at Day 3 method used by many other Australian clinics.
A review of information from the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) from 2004 to 2008 showed 23 per cent of couples undertaking Day 5 biopsy on their embryo delivered a baby compared to 13 per cent of couples whose embryo was biopsied at Day 3.
PGD uses three major types of tests or analysis:
• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR);
• Comparative Genome Hybridisation (CGH); and
• Combination Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR/CGH).
If you have or carry a diagnosed genetic problem or have suffered three or more miscarriages in a row, you can call us to discuss whether PGD is the right path for you. Genea is one of the very few centres in Australia with the vital combination of IVF and genetics facilities to perform these sophisticated tests successfully and help you achieve your ultimate dream - taking home a healthy baby.
All Genea's Fertility Specialists have undertaken specialist study and training to understand the different factors which might be impacting your fertility. They'll take the time to diagnose your condition, provide you with a range of options and work with you to devise the best treatment plan - just for you.
