What is gestational diabetes (GD)?
Gestational diabetes is a form of type 2 diabetes that only occurs during pregnancy. It is present in about 15% of all pregnancies and is usually detected at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. With GD diabetes, the woman�s pancreas does produce insulin but it is insufficient to maintain normal blood glucose. A woman�s body is capable of producing about three times the normal amount of insulin during pregnancy but sometimes the demands of pregnancy and certain lifestyle factors cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance simply means that the body stops responding to the effects of insulin. When the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to keep blood glucose (also referred to as �blood sugar�) levels in normal ranges, the result is serious potential medical risks to both mother and baby.
When blood glucose levels become too high they need to be managed with lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) and possibly daily injections of insulin. GD is not a form of type 1 diabetes (even if a person requires insulin during the pregnancy) where the beta islets cells in the pancreas are destroyed.
Why did I develop GD?
GD has the potential to develop in all pregnancies. While certain factors seem to put some women at higher risk, research seems to indicate a strong connection between hormones produced during pregnancy that impact the way insulin works in the body. As a pregnancy progresses the placenta produces more estrogen, a hormonal contributor to the development of insulin resistance. Women who are pregnant often produce more than three times the usual amount of insulin as a normal part of being pregnant because estrogen makes cells resistant to the effects of insulin. It is when the body cannot make enough insulin to keep up with the demands of pregnancy that blood sugar levels may become too high, and a woman is diagnosed with GD.
Things you can do to help prevent onset of GD is to plan ahead. Women who are physically active and become pregnant at a healthy weight are significantly less likely to develop GD.
What are the symptoms of GD?
Usually symptoms of GD are present but not always easily recognized as GD and your doctor may screen you for GD even if you have no symptoms. The test for GD (an oral glucose tolerance test) is necessary because two of the main symptoms of GD (excessive thirst and frequent urination) are also common symptoms of a normal pregnancy. GD usually develops during the 5th or 6th month of pregnancy (between 24 and 28 weeks) when certain hormones produced by the placenta can cause insulin resistance to develop. Symptoms of GD are similar to type 2 diabetes and include: increased thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), weight loss despite increased appetite (this is a sign of abnormally high blood sugar levels), fatigue, nausea and/or vomiting, blurry vision, infections of the bladder, vagina or skin (especially yeast infections), confusion, feeling dizzy, shaky or weak.
Who is at risk?
Women at risk for developing GD include those with a family history of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetes), have previously had GD during a pregnancy, women who are overweight, have had a previous stillbirth or delivered a baby over 9 pounds, are over the age of 25, or who have a large amount of amniotic fluid.
GD affects approximately 5% of all pregnant women, but a higher incidence of GD is seen in certain populations (7-9%) including Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans, South or East Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Indigenous Australians. Another group of women at higher risk for developing GD are those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and those with thyroid disorders.
How can I tell if I have GD?
Your doctor will order an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT, also simply called GTT). Most doctors routinely prescribe this test to all pregnant women as they may not have obvious symptoms of GD because some of the symptoms of GD (frequent urination, fatigue) are common to many pregnancies. Some women may fail a GTT the first time and yet do fine on a subsequent GTT. If you have a GTT that suggests diabetes you may wish to have a repeat test. But even if you do fine on a repeat GTT test you should take the first test results as a caution and be sure to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan as recommended by your doctor.
If a woman is under the age of 25 and has no other risk factors, her doctor may not order a GTT.
What is the diagnostic criteria for GD?
There are several diagnostic indicators that your doctor may use for determining if you have gestational diabetes. These tests include:
Fasting plasma glucose test (FPG)
A sample of blood is taken from the vein after the woman has not had anything to eat or drink (except water) for eight to 10 hours. The blood is tested for the amount of glucose (sugar) that is present in the sample. If the glucose level is higher than 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) then the woman may be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The fasting plasma test and random plasma test are often administered as the first tests to check for gestational diabetes. However, these tests may not detect gestational diabetes in all women. Most doctors rely on additional tests to confirm the diagnosis. If you have a morning fasting blood sugar of 140 mg/dL or higher (during pregnancy) you will be diagnosed with GD.
Random plasma glucose test (RPGT)
A sample of blood is taken from the vein and tested for the amount of glucose present in the blood. This is not done after fasting so the glucose in the blood may be high. However, the level should not be over 200 mg/dL. If the level is higher than 200 mg/dL, the woman is considered to have gestational diabetes.
Glucose challenge test
This is a screening test that measures the amount of glucose in the blood. For this test, the woman drinks a sugary beverage and the blood is checked an hour later. This test may be performed at any time during the day. If the glucose level is over 140 mg/dL, the results are considered positive or abnormal. Not all women with a positive screening test have diabetes.
American Diabetes Association Guidelines for
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
The OGTT is usually done between the second and third trimester of pregnancy when the greatest amount of insulin resistance occurs. This test is more sensitive than the FPG test and can often detect milder cases of diabetes. It measures glucose levels four or five times over a three-hour period. Prior to the test, the woman must not eat or drink anything but water for eight to ten hours.
Before starting the test, a blood sample is taken to provide a fasting glucose level. The woman drinks a 100 grams of glucose (a sugary beverage) and blood samples are taken every hour for three hours. Some doctors only use a 2-hour glucose test (in this case only 75 grams of glucose are taken).
American Diabetes Association Guidelines for
Your doctor may order one or more of the following glucose (blood sugar) tests to diagnose gestational diabetes:
Be reassured that having a high glucose level on the glucose challenge test does not necessarily mean GD. The oral glucose tolerance test must show abnormal levels of glucose on two separate occasions. And not all diagnosis of GD will result in insulin shot therapy.
When a woman is diagnosed with GD additional tests will probably be ordered to see how the baby is doing. This includes an ultrasound to check for growth and development, and a �kick count� test to ensure the baby is active.
Women with GD may also have glucose in their urine (this can be determined by dipping a Diastix into urine at home or the doctor�s office). If they are hyperglycemic (blood glucose levels are too high) they may also show ketones in their urine. Ketones are spilled into the urine when blood sugars are too high because the body cannot use glucose as a source of fuel so it begins to burn fat. The burning of fat instead of blood glucose throws out ketones which can be detected by dipping a ketone test strip into urine at home or in the doctor�s office. Both urine glucose and ketone test strips are available over the counter at any pharmacy. The cost is usually less than $10 per item, and typically health insurance will cover the cost of these strips when your doctor makes a diagnosis of GD.
How is GD treated?
Often GD can be treated with lifestyle changes including following a healthy meal plan and exercise. If blood glucose cannot be controlled through lifestyle management, insulin via daily injections may be required (called �shot therapy�). Untreated GD puts both the baby and mother at risk for serious health problems during the pregnancy, at birth, and later on in life for both mother and baby. If you have GD, please take it seriously and work with your doctor to keep your blood glucose levels in target ranges.
Do I have to take insulin? Can�t I take oral medication instead?
When lifestyle changes are not sufficient to maintain tight blood glucose control, insulin may be required. Insulin will not cross the placenta to the baby as can oral antidiabetes medications. Insulin, injected daily, will help control blood glucose levels and protect the health of you and your baby. Some doctors may prescribe oral insulin sensitizing drugs like Glucophage during pregnancy. Be sure to discuss all the risk factors involved before making a decision to take oral medication instead of using insulin.
After the baby is born, will I still have diabetes?
Although it is rare, some women who develop GD will continue to be type 2 diabetic for life. Any woman who develops GD has a 40-60% increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) reports that 40% of women who are overweight prior to pregnancy and develop GD will also have onset of type 2 diabetes within four years after pregnancy. This risk is lower for women who maintain a normal weight prior and during pregnancy, and can be reduced for those overweight with GD by changes in lifestyle, including maintaining a health weight, following a low-fat, carbohydrate-controlled meal plan, and regular exercise.
Every woman who has had gestational diabetes should have an annual blood test to check for hyperglycemia (high levels of blood glucose). Since 20 to 50 percent of women with GD will develop diabetes later in life, it is important to be aware of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes. Women with GD during one pregnancy have a 50% chance of developing GD with subsequent pregnancies.
Will my baby have diabetes?
Having GD does not cause a baby to be born with type 1 diabetes. However, a baby born to a mother with GD is at risk for childhood obesity and at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes in the future. It is important that these children adopt a healthy lifestyle early in life to help prevent diabetes onset in the future.
What are some of the concerns for women associated with GD?
GD carries an increased risk for developing preeclampsia (toxemia). This is a potentially serious condition in which high blood pressure (hypertension) occurs during pregnancy. Dangerous levels of fluid build up, swelling the arms and legs. Preeclampsia is a serious condition for both the mother and the fetus and, in many cases, the woman must be placed on bed rest until delivery, sometimes even in the hospital.
What are the concerns for my baby if I have GD?
GD can cause problems for both mother and baby during the pregnancy, at deliver, and later in life. Since GD typically occurs during the second or third trimester, the critical fetal development time during first trimester is usually unaffected. This means the baby has usually fully formed and is in the growing stage. Still, untreated GD results in increased risk for stillbirth and a two- to three-fold risk of a condition called �macrosomia.� Macrosomia is when a baby is larger than normal for a full-term pregnancy (a birth weight of over 9 lbs 14 ounces). This condition occurs due to high blood sugar levels in the mother. When the mother�s blood sugar (glucose) is too high, the extra glucose passes through the placenta to the baby. The baby�s pancreas begins to produce more insulin in response to the high blood glucose levels. Because the baby is getting more glucose nutrition then needed, it will also store extra glucose as fat. Eventually, macrosomia may result.
Another serious problem related to high blood sugar in women with GD is that the baby has responded to high blood sugars by producing high levels of insulin. As soon as the baby is born, he/she no longer is receiving the extra glucose from the mother so the high levels of circulating insulin still in the baby can cause hypoglycemia (when blood sugar falls too low). A baby born to a mother with GD will be checked for hypoglycemia and may require treatment with an IV solution of glucose until insulin and glucose levels have stabilized.
Babies that are large may have to be delivered by c-section (women with macrosomia babies are 3-4 times more likely to require a c-section), or have to schedule an early delivery if the baby is growing too large. Babies that grow too big can face a problem during delivery called shoulder dystocia. This happens when the baby�s shoulders are too large to move through the birth canal. This is a potentially life-threatening situation.
Babies born early are at a higher risk for respiratory problems because the lungs are one of the last organs to develop; babies born to mothers with GD are at an increased risk for premature delivery.
Other risks for babies born to mothers with GD include an increased risk for jaundice, hypocalcemia (low level of calcium in the blood), and polycythemia (an increased level of red blood cells).
Keeping your blood sugar in target range will help you and your baby.

Download (216Kb) | Preview
Using in-depth interviews, newsroom observation, and internal documents, this case study presents and analyses changes that have taken place at Finnish financial daily Taloussanomat since it stopped printing on 28 December 2007 to focus exclusively on digital delivery via the Web, email, and mobile. It reveals the savings that can be achieved when a newspaper no longer prints and distributes a physical product; but also the revenue lost from subscriptions and print advertising. The consequences of a newspaper's decision to go online-only are examined as they relate to its business model, website traffic, and editorial practice. The findings illustrate the extent to which the medium rather than the content it carries determines news consumption patterns, show the differing attention a newspaper and its online substitute command, and reveal the changes to working patterns journalists can expect in the online-only environment.

PHILADELPHIA Ś Michael Vick and Nick Foles split the first-team snaps at quarterback for the Eagles Monday.
Some eyewitnesses felt Dennis Dixon and Matt Barkley looked much more comfortable running Chip Kellyĺs offense.
Trying to make sense of the quarterback situation is an exercise in futility that wonĺt go away quickly considering the complexity of the system and the sweeping changes Kelly has made.
ôItĺs May 13th,ö Kelly said. ôAnd weĺve got a long ways to go before we ever set a depth chart or do anything like that.ö
Of all the quarterbacks, Dixon looked the most fluid. He played under Kelly at Oregon.
While Barkley doesnĺt have the arm strength of Vick or Foles, for a rookie whoĺs been around only a weekend he looks the part.
ôMatt has been really good,ö Kelly said. ôWeĺve had him for three days. Really thought he picked things up quickly. Heĺs an extremely hard worker. Heĺs here every morning at six a.m. working at whatever it is to work on. I mean, I think heĺs got a great football background first and foremost. He started four years in high school and four years in college and thatĺs kind of rare, so heĺs been through a lot. It showed up when he got here. Heĺs got a lot of experience even though heĺs a rookie.ö
Interestingly Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson offered an unsolicited assessment of Barkley.
ôWe have a lot of talent at quarterback and I think the competitive nature there is awesome,ö Jackson said. ôBarkley has come in and heĺs looking pretty good. Dixon, Foles and Vick? ů Let the best man win.ö
Vick generally looked best running the read option although it was hard to tell if he broke off pass plays because of mistakes on the receiving end.
Foles looked best when he was stationary. Rolling out, the long, career pocket-passer looked like a fish out of water.
Dixon, who frequently claps his hands, is the smoothest of the group. G.J. Kinne throws a very catchable ball.
Kelly, by the way, doesnĺt think itĺs far-fetched for Barkley to think he has a chance to win the starting job.
ôOur job as a coaching staff is to put the best guys on the field the first game against Washington that will help us win,ö Kelly said. ôAnd if thatĺs Matt, thatĺs Matt. So weĺll see how that goes. But if anybody came in here and said they were really vying for a backup job, then they would probably be on the bus down 95 pretty quick.ö
* * *
DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin returned punts along with wide receivers Damaris Johnson, Nick Miller and Russell Shepard.
Jackson said the decision to play a big role on special teams was a mutual decision.
ôIt was kind of both,ö Jackson said. ô(Kelly) wanted me to be back there and I wanted to be back there myself, as well.
ôPunt return is going to be a big factor, kind of bring my niche back out there and help the punt return team,ö Jackson said. ôAnd not only that, just go out there and make plays and get that electrifying unit back out there to score touchdowns.ö
No receiver was sharper than Maclin on Monday ů All of the front line Eagles offensive linemen played decently, including from left to right, Jason Peters, Danny Watkins, Dallas Reynolds, Todd Herremans and Dennis Kelly. Rookie first-round offensive tackle Lane Johnson still is learning his way ů Center Jason Kelce, coming back from a torn ACL, participated in a few installation drills. ôI donĺt know when Jason will be back,ö Kelly said. ôHeĺs been fantastic, been there every day working his tail off. He did almost everything in phase two, so heĺs running around doing a lot of things, and thatĺs obviously a medical decision in terms of what he can get in and get contact.ö ů Cornerback Cary Williams, signed in free agency, was excused from practice having gotten married over the weekend. Heĺs expected back next week. ôUsually thereĺs a honeymoon after you get married, so I think he hopefully wants it to last more than a couple days,ö Kelly said. ů Eagles punters Donnie Jones and Brad Wing (undrafted rookie) are left-footed. And they were solid Monday. Wing showed pretty good directional punting skills ů Defensively Cedric Thornton has been converted from tackle to end in the 3-4. And he looks like heĺs found a home ů Rush linebacker Connor Barwin and inside linebacker DeMeco Ryans, who teamed with the Texans, stood out defensively ů In the secondary, Nate Allen and Patrick Chung played a lot of safety.

Friday The 13th Food Superstitions
Do you have any superstitions on Friday the 13th? Or maybe you have food superstitions on this day, such as spilling salt but then throwing a pinch over your left shoulder to counteract the bad luck. If you plan on having people over tonight, make sure it's not 13 because this is supposedly bad luck too. I have never heard this superstition, but fishermen believe it's bad luck on Friday the 13th to have bananas on a boat because it will bring death. Cutting noodles today is also unlucky and supposedly shortens your lifespan.
If you spill a pepper around one of your friends today, you can expect the friendship to be over. The pepper causes disagreements between friends. Do you believe any of these? I've never been superstitious, but what about you?

My long standing complaint with blogging is that there is not enough time to do it. I cannot sit at a computer screen after having spent all day looking at Twitter and Facebook and getting paid for it. So I've adopted Tumblr which allows me to post quick, pithy updates on training, races and other running related things. You can follow me here. And I will also be long form blogging on Hilary and Natalie's site Whose Idea Was This on the weekends. Happy Running!!
To My Dear and Loving Husband
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompetence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay.
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persever
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
30 Races. 30 Years (Or How to Fail a Marathon)
In November of 2011, I was looking for my next big race. I hadn't raced since the Inaugural Wine and Dine Half Marathon in Disney World in October 2010 and I was itching to get back in shape and train for something big.
As a confident half marathoner, I always joked to anyone that would listen after my races that I would never ever run a marathon. Twenty six miles and three hundred some odd yards that make up the race seemed ludicrous. Why would I ever, ever do that to myself?
Because I wanted to, that's why.
Friends with Kids
Full disclosure: Our friends with children are amazing parents, successful human beings and an all around joy to spend time with. Any accidental expression of the contrary in the following is the express mistake of my editor, MB, who will not ever read this and therefore can be blamed for all things that upset my readers.
Last Friday night was one of the rare nights this summer that MB and I weren't smashing all our worldly possessions into the back of our old lady colored Hudanyi and zipping around the Eastern seaboard. Confused about what to do with all the extra time on our hands we clicked over to the movie section of our Apple TV and picked the first movie that had nothing to do with sex with pies or the over glorification of Jonah Hill's manorexia.
Friends with Kids started out to be a hilarious, honest look at the complexities of being married to someone, love and maintaining any semblance of a former reality while raising a kid. Then it took this really awful turn into this super sappy, overly feminine take on neediness and sex. I loved it and hated it. MB loved it. What really struck me throughout the entire movie was that the exposition of that last set of childless people in the room who are not covered in vomit, not fighting tooth and nail with a toddler to eat their dinner and not chuck it, not shooting daggers at their partner and {got forbid} not talking nonstop about junior's most recent bowel movement when they make the very ill-calculated decision to procreate. In short, I'm afraid, we too, are going to do something rash.
Hey, Check This Out.
I'm currently this tan but much less sparkly
When my boss has something to say, usually in the form of dropping the hammer, he swings himself around in his chair, throws his forearms on his surfboard table, looks up at you through his eyebrows and declares, "Hey, Check this out."
Trust me, it's a lot more ominous in his slight, lilting southern drawl, his suit coat off and a look on his face like could literally kill a person.
{In full disclosure, he's usually pantomiming how one of us, his team, are going to drop the hammer, or how he, himself is going to make someone squirm, but {lamentably, in my opinion} in a very polite fashion}
I know that when anything starts with the phrase, "hey check this out" it's going to be good. And serious.
This week, MB and I spent 5 glorious days on Hilton Head Island. We did nothing of any merit. We slept late, ate expensive breakfasts, lounged, swam, walked on the beach, ate, shopped for brightly colored women's clothing, slept. We also drove there and so I had over 20 hours to contemplate everything. I have a lot bouncing around in my skull and I really wanted a means, cheaper and less bizarre than therapy, to get it out and move on. Hopefully to a tasty Mexican dinner.
See, nothing has changed.
I won't apologize for my absence and sudden reappearance. I stopped reading a lot of blogs because frankly, I don't have time and double frankly, I realized that the things that I was reading weren't that interesting {not you, Gina, not even close}. Women I'd followed for a long time had no more interesting lives, or things to say about them than I do. I just don't have time to write my thoughts down. If you want an apology for my inconsistency or why I leave and come back to the blog please see here here and here. My new reason is I was busy and I didn't want to write and now I do.
So, you know, what have you been up to?
Rest and a week off
In 1 hour and 15 minutes we'll be in a cab on our way to London. After much hemming and hawing I decided NOT to pack my running gear and brave the other side of the street while we're across the pond. Mostly because we ran out of space. I'm back on a Wednesday night and have every intention of jumping right back in. And probably embracing the suck for about 2 weeks while I get back in shape.
Pre train: Xmas Eve
Yesterday I ran the last of my 16 week pre train program. I was in eastern PA and despite the recent warm weather courtesy of global climate change friends it was colder than I could handle.
Therefore I came in a little short of my 45 minute target.

2012: The year of the marathon?
Mmm K. So when last we left off, I was doing ridiculous things like declaring New Media to be my version of being on a SEAL team and generally trying to quit blogging.
I want to be clear. I meant all of it.
Except maybe the blogging part.
Well the lady blogging part.
I'm back and I'm back with avenegence so I can start one of the most annoying forms of blogging in the WORLD: RUNNER BLOGGING.
New Media is My SEAL
This is my last post here, friends. Find me from now on at my new gig.
I stated reading The Heart and The Fist at the strong urging or my mother. Jan is a big fan of Veterans and an even bigger fan of the Today Show. The author, Eric Greitens was on the Today Show and my mom just knew that I would love a good book about one of my favorite subjects – Vets.
Death and All of His Friends
This weekend I took myself to my parents' home for our monthly visit. The highlight would be seeing my cousin's youngest daughter perform in my high school's musical. I arrived in the J late Friday and was relaxing with Jan when my cousin called. There was an accident. The musical had been postponed. A girl, a senior, was dead.

Main | Prize info
Certifiably Funky
Regulars at this site will know Adam Fielding as simply Adfielding, a friendly and helpful forum veteran. With his contribution to the Bassline Battle, he showed us all who's got the funk. We had a brief chat with the winner.
Congratulations on the first prize! First of all - the obvious question: How do you feel?
I'm incredibly excited - gave my housemate and his girlfriend a bit of a scare after running through the house before getting properly dressed.
I bet they liked that :-) A lot of Reason users know you from reading the Propellerhead forums, but can you give us a little background on who this Adfielding character is?
Well, I'm a guy in his early 20s currently studying popular music production at Huddersfield university in England. I'm currently in my final year, which is a real killer, but somehow managed to find some time to squeeze in writing an album earlier in the year. I originally hail from Suffolk, and I like my real ales. And pies.
Wow. Early 20s? I think a lot of us would have expected you to be an older person, having been around for some time on the forums and all. You must have gotten an early start?
Well, I started using Reason properly in... 2002, I think, so I would have been 16 or 17 when I first got into reason. I started using trackers at a very early age, so I guess I've always had a keen interest in computer music. It wasn't until Reason came along that I think music software progressed to a point where I was really excited by the production process as much as writing music. But at that age, I wanted to be a games programmer, so it took me quite a while to realise how big a part of my life music filled. I had been noodling around with an old guitar my dad gave me and a dodgy old keyboard before that, though... and I still do.
So would you consider yourself mainly a player or programmer/producer?
Definitely more of a programmer/producer - I'm not really much of a performer!
Let's talk a little bit about the winning contribution. In creating the winning bassline, what do you think was the secret funk sauce that both the user community and the artist jury fell for?
I like to think it was just my natural funkiness! But seriously, I think it was the crazy compression, slap-bass and general quirkiness. I think!
Would you say your bassline was inspired by any particular bass player?
I wouldn't say so off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure I was listening to Justice's debut album a lot around the time when I wrote it, which I suppose is a bit of an odd reference for a bassline competition... but I'm a sucker for massively compressed, crunchy noise when I'm in the right mood.
So, when not making funky basslines, what kind of music do you normally create?
Ahh, the dreaded genre question! I find it hard to stick with one genre for any great length of time, but I tend to write mostly atmospheric, sometimes ambient, industrial-inspired sometimes dance stuff. Sometimes I like to dabble with more orchestral-oriented stuff, but... you know, you'd think I'd be better at describing my own music haha! Maybe "Ambient/Dance with a shoegaze twist"?
Now that you scored the Grand Prize, what's left to wish for now that Xmas is almost upon us?
Lots of merriment and all around good times! Oh, and to pass the first half of my final year would be good as well. I'm a man with few wishes, I guess!
Haha. Modesty incarnated :-) So, will the prize package make a huge difference to your studio setup?
Oh yes, definitely. I've been thinking of picking up a sub for a long time now, and my current audio interface is... well, it sometimes leaves a bit to be desired, to say the least. My current keyboard has seen better days as well... I have a tendency to open things up and tinker with them if there's something wrong, which usually leads to me causing more problems than I had in the first place. such is the case with my current keyboard. I just can't help it sometimes.

So the status is like this, PC's have cleared out about half of Jzadirune and driven out the remaining dark one's and skulks (they fled with their loot to the underdark, Kazmojen doesn't know that.) Ghelve's locks has a dozen town watch guarding the place, with PC's and Stormblades (the latter yet to only have succeeded on providing comic relief) making forays.
They have also made their way into area M22 (direct route, more or less), and killed or captured (and not handed over to the town guard) like 16 Hobgoblins. They've definitely raised the alarm, though they retreated to the surface.
Now they're considering to clear out the rest of Jzadirune and resting before going back down into the Malachite fortress.
I as a DM have two considerations to make:
#1: stormblades and Jzadirune, how much of it does it make sense for them to have cleared out? (Northernmost part remain unexplored by PC's). They've had a day, more or less, to work on it. Although a fun idea is to have the Raggamoffyn's taken stormblades captive.
#2: What does Kazmojen do? Shore up defenses? How? Flee?
Pyllrak takes off with the four children? (Terrem isn't important in my story).
Logic might suggest that he takes all of his wealth and marches out, slaves in tow. The PC's knows how to track, so that shouldn't be the end of it.
I would have Kazmojen call in contracts for extra guards. When one of my parties stormed in, slew a bunch of guards, and then negotiated for the 'purchase' of the children, the fighter told him to 'get better guards' when Kaz complained about the killing.
When they returned later to collect their 'slaves', he met them with a party of drow mercenaries.
It all depends on how badly Kazmojen wants to keep his fortress. Safe havens in the Underdark are rare, and ones with access to product and market are golden. He may think he can handle one adventuring party, or he may not be able to move his hoard easily. However, he may also not be prepared to take on the entire town guard and two adventuring parties, or just realize his hold is compromised and cut losses to run.
Throwing in some mercenary Drows would be interesting, though in such a case, there must be some sort of civilization within a day's march, and that would come along with a bunch of questions on what sort of consequences this already would have had for the Cauldron region, and would have for the remainder of the story.
Now there's a thought, we know of one other entrance to the underdark nearby (Crazy Jared), there might be another in the direction of Kingfisher Hollow (where Vervil Ashmantle are holed up) which might be an angle to get some half orc mercenaries in, give more blue duke foreshadowing.
There's already a civilization nearby. How else does he sell his slaves? Even if it isn't a drow civilization, that doesn't mean it couldn't have ex-pat male drow mercs hanging around for contracts.
The question is how close. Addition of an underdark trading post would be fun though.
Honestly, Kazmojen must realize that his operation is compromised and that it's best to pack up and leave. So I think we're looking at how long it takes for him and his goblins to leave, slaves in tow. Pyllrak probably accompanies them, his Lemures dead.
All in all, what's left in the Malachite Fortress is:
Hobgoblins: 10
Goblins: 5
Hammerer Automatons: 2
Slaves: 13
So lots that can be done with that.
Now they're considering to clear out the rest of Jzadirune and resting before going back down into the Malachite fortress.
Do they have an inkling that the hobgoblins are guarding a slave market and that the kids are down there? If so, it seems kind of strange to suddenly say "forget the kids, they'll be fine; let's look around this gnome place instead".
So I think the following happens depending on how many times PC's rests:
1: All slaves will be moved to the cells, goblins are sent up as a scouting party, will figure out that Ghelve's locks are heavily guarded. The lift between Jzadirune and the Malachite Fortress is sabotaged*. All slaves moved to cells, remaining hostiles organize themselves for the best possible defense.
2: They leave for the underdark, slaves in tow.
96h after: They arrive at underdark trading post.
120h after: Pyllrak hires some guards and drags the children away, Kazmojen sets up shop and sells 1d4 slaves per day, and then disappears.
If the PC's fail to rescue the children and bring Kazmojen to justice..sucks to be them.
*Thinking like it's rigged such that instead of descending at 20f/round, it falls down and deals 6D6 falling damage, with a group of (hob)goblins assaulting them while they're prone and hurting.
|The Numerator
That's a nasty trap... I love it!
My group had a similar issue, where they went back to the surface with their loot and the first few prisoners after clearing out the Forge area. This battle alerted the baracks and main room, and as a result about 2/3 of the hobs were killed. The party then rested on the surface and healed for about a day. In the meantime, I figured Kaz had called in reinforcements from the underdark (or the mercenaries introduced in chapter 2), and he had replenished most of his lost hobbies. I also considered hiding some of his loot in the empty cells, but never went through w/ that idea (figuring the mimic was a better guard, and that they'd get to the cells eventually anyway).
On a slightly related note my group just got through Jzadirune. The Adventurers had just gotten Kaz to his last legs when the Beholder showed up. he petrified Kaz in an effort to save the slavers life and still appear to help the PC's. I am hoping to bring Kaz back in foundations of flame with blackguard levels and a squad of drow hoping to pick up a few slaves in the confusion before retreating back to the underdark. when he sees the PC's he'll attempt to take them as slaves.

Denver Broncos vs. Carolina Panthers Preview and Prediction
If you put your ear to the ground you can hear the Denver Broncos coming. Peyton Manning has officially re-emerged as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks. His play continues to improve with each ensuing game, and has quickly picked up where he left off after coming back from a neck injury that sidelined him for the entire 2011 season. He has the ability to make throws that will give any defensive back nightmares, and has no problem wearing out opponents with his arm and shear will to win.
This week the (5-3) Denver Broncos trip across country to face off against the (2-6) Carolina Panthers in what will be head coach John Fox's first game back at Bank of America Stadium since being fired by his former club. Fox was ousted as head coach of the Panthers following a lame-duck 2010 season in which his team finished just 2-14. Looking back, Panthers fans are probably kicking themselves for getting rid of Fox. He not only has a winning record in his career as head coach, but also has the Broncos in line for a potential Super Bowl Run this season.
After a slow start, the Broncos are now 5-3 and sit atop the AFC West as the number one team in the division. Though the Panthers may be in last place in the NFC South, they know how close they are from being 5-3. The difference between winning and losing lies directly with their quarterback's play. Panthers' quarterback Cam Newton has struggled to finish games, and has just 8 wins through his first 24 contest. On the other hand Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is one of the most clutch players in the league, and has historically been a good closer.
Learning how to win in the NFL can be no easy task and Newton could certainly take a page out of Manning's book. If the Panthers have any chance in this game Newton will need to play steady and mistake free football, especially in the second half. An interesting side note is the fact that Peyton Manning has a losing record against the Panthers; there are only four teams in the NFL that can say that.
The Panthers defense has been solid lately, and is one of the more under-rated units in the league. As a defensive end tandem Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy have combined for 14 sacks, good for second most in the league. It won't be easy task getting past the Broncos offensive line, as Manning has only been sacked 10 times in 8 games with 22 hits.
The chances of an upset definitely exist, and head coach John Fox knows not to take the Panthers lightly. It won't be an easy task for Manning as the Panthers play continues to improve each week. As the projected 4 point favorite, look Broncos to win their fourth straight game this Sunday as they take on the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
Prediction: Denver Broncos 31, Carolina Panthers 24
Key Injuries:
Out-CB Tracy Porter (illness), Chris Kuper (ankle)
Questionable-DE Thomas Keiser (Elbow)
Doubtful-DE Antwan Applewhite (Hamstring)

I'd suggest getting a snap on/off OWB. You get the ease of the paddle but the added security of a belt holster.
Some good examples are:
Galco M7X Matrix
UBG Regulator
Galco also has several paddles available for the PM9, but I think you'd be better served with a belt mounted rig.
Regarding the Fobus roto, they are junk. I had one, I know. It was my first holster, I bought a Galco within 48hours of using the Fobus. Last week at the IDPA match, someone drew from a paddle of unknown make/model, and it came out with the gun, this can happen with paddles if they are not sercurely/properly mounted.
As for the adjustable holsters. I've found that in general people are better off with a holster that is NOT adjustable, find out where it rides best and leave it alone. The PM9 is relatively small, unless you are a small person, you don't need that much cant to hide it anywhere along the belt line.

Aishwarya postpones French award event due to Mumbai blasts
Talking to the media in Delhi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said, "We're very shocked with the news of the blast. Our prayers are with the people affected. It is important for us Indians to stand strong and tell the perpetrators of terrorism that they cannot shake us. We believe that justice will be done. We pray for the victims and their families."
Abhishek Bachchan's pregnant wife was to receive the French honour in the national capital. But she postponed the award ceremony after the news of the Mumbai blast broke. Aishwarya said, "We're very shocked and saddened by the Mumbai Blasts that we just heard about. This isn't the time to celebrate. Me and my family felt it was correct to request the French ambassador to postpone the ceremony to some other time."
However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was conferred with 'Officer Dan Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres' (Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters) in 2008 and this is the second highest civilian honour given by the French government. But Ash had refused to accept the award at the time as her father was unwell. She had said that she wanted her entire family.

St. Mary's Health Center to lay off nearly a dozen workers
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Two medical centers in Mid-Missouri will lay off nearly a dozen employees.
Last week, St. Louis-based SSM Health Care announced it would cut approximately 600 positions in four states. SSM operates St. Mary's Health Center and Audrain Medical Center in central Missouri.
A St. Mary's spokesman told ABC 17 News Wednesday that about ten employees would be laid off at both locations.
Some of those positions will be cut while some spots will not be refilled when the current employee leaves.
The spokesman said employees would be able reapply for other positions throughout the company, but one employee told ABC 17 News his position ends next week and it is not clear what he might do.
All of the affected positions involved non-patient care and mainly deal with administrative work.
A statement from SSM earlier this month said health care organizations are facing "unprecedented changes and challenges," including a shift to more outpatient settings, reduced reimbursement from federal payers, increased bad debt and charity care, and the financial impacts from sequestration.
The laid off employees will receive 60 days of pay and a severance package.
St. Mary's officials say they will have approximately 1,100 employees when the center moves to its new location next year.
The new $200 million St. Mary's Health Center is scheduled to open in Nov. 2014.

Chairman Peter Hill-Wood insists that spending money on Arsenal's squad is the Board's 'top priority'.
The huge sums spent on redevelopments at Highbury Square and Queensland Road had led some to suggest that the Directors were more interested in property than players. Mr Hill-Wood did not agree.
Speaking at Thursday's AGM, the Chairman was adamant that expenditure on players, both in salaries and transfer fees, was of the utmost importance.
"I promise you that expenditure on players is our top priority," said Mr. Hill-Wood. "As a board we look at the total cost of players, not just transfers, but transfers and salaries put together as one total. We spent over £100m on that last year and we will continue to do that this year, probably more.
"Bringing in players is really down to Arsène Wenger, who has been an extremely good judge of who, when and how much we should pay for players. He is always looking to strengthen the squad but he has got a very good one here already."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Select all that apply
Clearwater River Provincial Park encompasses much of the Clearwater River, designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1986 for its cultural and historic significance. The Clearwater River flows westward, carving an ever-deepening valley that transforms from the smooth, dark granite of the Canadian Shield to narrow canyons and cliffs of fossiliferous dolomite and limestone. The rapids on the Clearwater range from Class II to Class IV+ with one spectacular waterfall. The waterfall is an ancient site held sacred by the valley's first inhabitants and traditionally believed to possess healing powers.
The river is clear and unpolluted. The forest cover along the river is predominantly jack pine. In many locations the ground is covered by a variety of mosses, which provide paddlers with inviting areas to stop for a relaxing shore lunch.
The Clearwater River is located in the northwest part of Saskatchewan, approximately 700 km north of the city of Saskatoon.
Regardless of whether you have spent your entire life in Saskatchewan or are visiting it for the very first time, it is a sure bet that your trip on the Clearwater River will be memorable.

TKP Architects
Total Sq. Ft.: 4268 Bedrooms: 3 Baths: 4.0
This striking home was designed for a family with a lot that faced a fantastic mountain view. Because the lot sloped to the front, the homeowners were able to have a lower walk out level, adding two additional bedrooms and a large entertainment area to what could otherwise be a three bedroom, one–story house. As you'll see from the photos, wood is emphasized as much in the interior as it is on the exterior. This unique home features two master bedrooms on the main floor, and nearly every room on this level is vaulted.

Rentfrow Residential Design
Total Sq. Ft.: 4071 Bedrooms: 4 Baths: 3.5
This beautiful home has a distinct European look and feel to it. The stucco and stone on the exterior work perfectly together, and the materials and finishes used inside make this a truly elegant home. Three of the outer walls are filled with large windows topped by transoms, filling the house with light while providing fantastic views from every room. Special elements include a wide butler's pantry off the dining room, a private study with a wrap around view, and a huge deck that spans the rear of the house.

Passive Solar Designs
Total Sq. Ft.: 2801 Bedrooms: 4 Baths: 2.5
Craftsman detailing adds to the appearance of this classic farm–style home. The master bedroom and all of the main living spaces enjoy terrific views to the rear, as do the three additional bedrooms on the second level. There's also a deck that spans the entire width of the house at the rear. The great room ceiling soars to 19' in the middle, and all the living spaces are open to each other.

Rentfrow Residential Design
Total Sq. Ft.: 3321 Bedrooms: 2 Baths: 2.5
All the stone veneer and wood detailing make this an extremely handsome one–story home. The original homeowners had a sloped lot, so they were able to have a walk–out lower level. The ceilings on the main level are set at a lofty 10', and the family, hearth room (both of which feature fireplaces!), and the master bedroom have vaulted ceilings. Interior spaces are set at angles to each other, creating a unique look and feel without sacrificing functionality. There are two bedrooms on the main level, and if you choose to build the lower level there's room for three more bedrooms along with a grand recreation area.
Greg Robinson, AIA
Cascade Joinery
Total Sq. Ft.: 1597 Bedrooms: 3 Baths: 2.0
This unique 3–bedroom home is not only eye–catching – it is also rather inexpensive to build. It's based on a square outline that's 36' on each side; has a very simple hipped roof; and is just under 1,600 square feet. The upper level is wrapped in windows that not only provide great light and views to the two bedrooms (each of which has a vaulted ceiling), but also allow light to fill the stairway. Kitchen, dining and living spaces are wide open to each other. The living room has a long window seat facing a large fireplace, and sliding glass doors that open to a covered patio.

We liked the location and comfort of the beds. We were very disappointed that the rooms had no coffee maker, no clock and Cable that didn't work most of the time, plus no FOX News on the cable when it did work. Also, even though we hated that the hotel did not have a continental breakfast we were told by the check in clerk that complimentary coffee was available in the lobby each morning. That turned out not to be true. Very stripped down facility.
It is too close to the highway, you can hear everything. The bed was dirty... A lot of hairs in it.
value employees and that they didn't honor my reservation
I liked the location The beds weren't that comfortable.
The worker was very nice and polite. I was expecting something completely different. When I walked in, the first thing that popped in my mind was, am I safe? It felt very creepy when I walked in. No color on the walls, the kitchen area was very sloppy, the checkin desk was a mess. And it had a smell. I felt like I needed more locks on my door in my room. There wasn't any shampoo or conditioner. I didnt bring mine because I thought the hotel room should have them. But I didnt even shower in the morning. The sheets on the bed were very thin. I was pretty cold I almost turned on my heater. I know I paid less then 70.00 bucks but shouldn't matter. Im sure that the motel could afford a BIG update/ renovation in one week from all the guest payments..
The rooms are pretty nice and modern with comfortable beds. The bathroom was dirty and the gentleman working the front desk seemed more interested in getting back to what ever he was doing in the back room.
No free WiFi at this hotel. What you pay for is not worth the money.
Ashbah (spelling?) greeted us in the office when we arrived. She was extremely gracious, professional, and courteous. She is a great asset to your business. My elderly mother was with us so a room on the first floor was quite helpful. The room smelled like a wet dog. The floors looked like they had not been scrubbed in months. We did not want to take off our shoes. If the first floor rooms are often used for pets and thus not kept to as high of a standard regarding cleanliness, customers should know that before committing to those rooms. When we used this motel a year ago, we stayed on the second floor and everything was very clean and nice. So we were especially disappointed this year. But I think this year was an anomaly and we will call ahead with specifics next time.
I didnt really like any of the service. I didnt like how wifi or breakfast was not complimentary when the fare was 60 dollars meanwhile, the EcnoLodge next door provides both of that complimentary for a fare of fifty dollars.
The only thing I liked was that I was able to cancel one day of my stay. The room smelled like 30-year-old smoke. Very old (1970s), very warm. The bedspreads had cigarette burn holes in them. I am not a snob, but the $107.00 (tax and fees included) did not seem like the correct cost for the type of room they offered.
I did not like anything. I do not like the hotel room which they have given to the for the price I paid. Disappointed.
Very friendly staff. Free TV. Messy towels, also had minor stains. Random hairs on the bedsheets and in the bathroom. Some stains on the bedsheets too. Blanket had a rip in it.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
nothing the room was disgusting. when I went to go to bed there was dried blood the comforter,the bed skirt, drapes, bugs fell out of the corner where my GF dropped her ring. when I complained the owner (I assume who he was) didn't care. I'll never go back.
Nice clean room plesent staff No WiFi
None. I requested non smoking but was given smoking one. Customer service won't give me another room easily and kept telling me to use AC or open door for odor of smoke to go away. Worst service even. I want my refund because I wasn't given what I ordered None. I requested non smoking but was given smoking one. Customer service won't give me another room easily and kept telling me to use AC or open door for odor of smoke to go away. Worst service even. I want my refund because I wasn't given what I ordered
Location is excellent. We had bed bug problem and that was the sore point of the otherwise beautiful experience.
Privacy that's was great. It was quiet.,
Sucked no remote for TV, walls not clean broken lamp shades no wash clothes it went down with new owner 👎
Quiet A/c blew hot air all night. Very uncomfortable sleep. Dirty. Was not happy but it was all booked.
Shopping malls all around Everything was wrong about this hotel photos of the hotel on the website are really deceiving. It's a straight up lie. TV wasn't even working and I didn't get any discounts. I wouldn't recommend that hotel to my worst enemy.
Pillows were flat - new bedspreads and sheets needed. Musty smell in the rooms.
Pleasant stay.worth of money Nothing
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
friendliness of staff no
proximity to highway small room
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Room door was broken looked like it's been kicked in by police.
Comfortable, very clean, good bed, plenty of hot water, quiet, free wifi in room, free parking, very conveniently located right off I-90. Management offered me a look at the room before accepting it. Older place but fine. Bob Evans restaurant next door.
Good location. The price was fair for type of hotel it was....very basic. Remote for TV didn't work well.
Staff Noise
The toilet seat shifted when sat upon. The bathroom fan made horrible noise. The air conditioner had only one setting it worked on- 62 degrees. The refrigerator made so much noise I unplugged it. Cable channels were few. Way over priced for July 4 weekend
Very friendly staff, clean room with mini fridge and microwave, and VERY comfortable bed and bedding for a great nights sleep! And, with the price we were charged...it was an outstanding value! All was great!

Expect an update soon...
Expect an update soon...
That vibroblade looks pretty interesting, was it purchased?
Very Cool man Im currently working on a custom mando thats kind of jasterish
TrueSword.com is a very good place to get blades,there cheap but they look
realy good and they hold up good to.
Progress has been extremely slow recently, so sorry for any dissapointment, but no big updates.
Things will start picking up again soon.
I hope! I was wondering where you went.
Progress has been made, but it is only within the two main points of my suit so far - the helmet and blaster.
I like to get everything absolutely perfect before moving on; it may be a good habit, but it is excruciatingly time consuming and it can get annoying.
Another factor is my budget, which is not very flexible.
Anyway, here are the absolutely finished pieces. I finished the rangefiner and stalk, made a new stabilizer trim under the visor, added some support plates to the inside of the helmet (for both protection and looks) finished weathering the blaster and created a new custom scope.
Actually, I take it back - I still have a few plates to add to the top of the helmet interior. It's still bare up there.
I'm sending the blaster out this week to get a custom holster rig made for it...once that is finished, then things will really start picking up again.
Also, I've finished cutting out the armor pieces and I've begun applying paint.
So you are going for a robotic left arm too huh? I have never seen this thread before and was working on the same thing! Our colors are even similair sheesh!! It looks really good man keep up the good work!
Lookin great man! I like how your armor has a more angular look.
Has anyone any idea what Ashton Synn's status is? I talked to him a week ago and was getting replies within the hour, but ever since then I have not been able to get him to respond.
I'm thinking about starting a new thread for this, now that things are finally picking up. This one is getting messy with all my absenses and lack of progress.

The website for Red Boat artisanal fish sauces describes its nước mắm in lofty language, with phrases that include "extra virgin," "slow aged," and "first press." But in a product review at Amazon.com, where Red Boat is on sale for $24 for two 500-milliliter bottles, shopper Q. Tran sounds unimpressed: "Not any different from the 3 dollar fish sauce at your local Asian supermarket."
Consumers like Q. Tran have to be Red Boat owner Cuong Pham's worst nightmare. A lot of serious cooks who wouldn't balk at paying $23 a pound for Parmigiano-Reggiano assume that even high-quality Asian ingredients should be priced low. When they're not, they feel ripped off.
"Many consumers assume that food products coming from Asia have to be cheap," Pham explains via email. "Most Asians are price-sensitive and products are evaluated on price, not quality of ingredients. With that mindset, it's hard for manufacturers to put higher-priced artisanal products on the shelf."
Viet World Kitchen blogger Andrea Nguyen agrees. "Historically, people pay less for Asian products," says Nguyen, who's also the author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen and the forthcoming Asian Tofu. "People say to me, 'It's not good Asian if it's not cheap Asian.' But if I'm willing to pay a ton for premium ingredients like balsamic vinegar and olive oil, why wouldn't I pay more for comparable Asian products?"
The assumption that Asian equals cheap is an old one, according to Andrew Coe in his 2009 book, Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States. It dates at least to the late 19th century, when Euro Americans were first venturing into Chinese restaurants in New York and San Francisco. Those early restaurants had a lot of atmosphere, thanks to things like red lanterns, and were also dead cheap—you could get a filling bowl of something called "chop suey" for 25 cents. Compare that to the 50-cent bowl of consomme at Delmonico's in 1899.
By the 1950s, most American Chinese restaurants pushed a standard set of "family dinners," where a table of four could get an entire meal (with soup and egg roll) for a dollar or two each. Food that cheap could only exist in a system where people worked illegally and kitchens took shortcuts with the food, conditions that still exist today.
"If we're willing to pay more, people at these so-called takeout joints will make more, and the food will be better," Nguyen says.
That shift is already well under way, with second-generation Asian chefs like Charles Phan and James Syhabout in the Bay Area and David Chang in New York. Will a market emerge for artisan Asian ingredients as well?
Matt Jamie hopes so. The owner of Bourbon Barrel Foods, which calls its Bluegrass Soy Sauce the only microbrewed soy in America, says he gets a lot of grief from customers over the price: $6 for 5 ounces. (A comparably sized bottle of Kikkoman is less than $3.)
"But it's like comparing Budweiser to a wine from Napa," says Jamie. "Kikkoman brews 200,000 gallons a day in the United States alone."
At least Bluegrass has heritage on its side. Nguyen notes that Japanese food has generally escaped the must-be-cheap mind-set. Red Boat's Southeast Asian fish sauce, on the other hand, faces a tougher battle.
Based on Red Boat's manufacturing process, its fish sauces are hardly overpriced. The company estimates that five pounds of anchovies go into each bottle of 40N (sauces are rated by N, indicating the amount of nitrogen; higher numbers mean less water), and the fish must be aged for 12 to 14 months before being pressed, labeled, packed, and shipped. In addition, Red Boat is made n Phu Quoc, a Vietnamese island archipelago well known for its high-quality anchovy population.
Consider that a 100-milliliter bottle of garum colatura, a similarly made Italian fish sauce, is $16 at Zingerman's. That'd be $80 for a bottle the size of Red Boat. Is an Italian name really worth that much?

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:40 pm on May 12, 2011 by Allahpundit
"The debate is unlikely ever to be settled. But multiple U.S. intelligence officials told Reuters the real breakthrough that led to bin Laden came from a mysterious CIA detainee named Hassan Ghul. Ghul, who was not captured until 2004 at the earliest, was not subjected to waterboarding, the CIA's roughest and most controversial interrogation technique. It had already been phased out by the time he was captured. But two U.S. officials acknowledged he may well have been subjected to other coercive CIA tactics, possibly including stress positions, sleep deprivation and being slammed into a wall.
"It was Ghul, the officials said, who after years of tantalizing hints from other detainees finally provided the information that prompted the CIA to focus intensely on finding Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti, pseudonym for the courier who would lead them to bin Laden…
"Leaving Ghul aside, it remains unclear whether the brutal interrogations — which Obama banned upon taking office — were effective or not.
"The available facts, bolstered by evidence from secret Guantanamo detainee files made public by the WikiLeaks organization, suggest that some of the first information U.S. intelligence received about Abu Ahmed al Kuwaiti surfaced in 2002, when the harshest elements of the CIA interrogation program were still in force."
"Three of Osama bin Laden's wives have been interrogated by U.S. intelligence officers under the supervision of Pakistani's intelligence service, according to sources in both governments.
"The women — who were all interviewed together — were 'hostile' toward the Americans, according to a senior Pakistani government official with direct knowledge of the post-bin Laden investigation and two senior U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the matter. The eldest of the three wives spoke for the group…
"All three officials said that the interrogation didn't yield much new information, while adding that it was early in the process."
"Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who calls himself the mastermind of the attacks in which planes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, seemed to be busy conjuring up many plots before his capture, according to the documents. Telling interrogators that al Qaeda had planned to create a 'nuclear hell storm,' Mohammed gave up a chilling laundry list of attacks in the works…
"Faris also was crucial to Mohammed's plan to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge by cutting the suspension cables, according to the documents…
"Al Qaeda abandoned the plan, calling the weather 'too hot,' meaning there was too much security on the bridge for the plan to go forward. But Kelly said the plan to cut the cables, using special blowtorches, could have been implemented if an attacker had gotten into a security room where the cables are anchored…
"And in the category of failed plots, the documents say the self-proclaimed enemy of the United States noted that because he did not hit the White House during September 11 attacks, as he planned, he would 'somehow try to attack the White House again one day, due to its symbolic value to America.'
"I asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for the facts, and he told me the following: The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. The first mention of Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti — the nickname of the al-Qaeda courier who ultimately led us to bin Laden — as well as a description of him as an important member of al-Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country, who we believe was not tortured. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmed's real name, his whereabouts or an accurate description of his role in al-Qaeda.
"In fact, the use of 'enhanced interrogation techniques' on Khalid Sheik Mohammed produced false and misleading information. He specifically told his interrogators that Abu Ahmed had moved to Peshawar, got married and ceased his role as an al-Qaeda facilitator — none of which was true. According to the staff of the Senate intelligence committee, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee — information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti's real role in al-Qaeda and his true relationship to bin Laden — was obtained through standard, noncoercive means…
