I do have a problem with that mindset.

Many civilians chosing less-lethal weapons1:57 PM EDT, June 27, 2008
With a push of a button, Carol Jara is ready to zap an attacker with her new stun gun.
She considered getting a handgun, but decided against it.
"I don't feel that comfortable thinking that I could kill someone," said Jara, 26, who lives in Miami and works as a graphic designer in Broward County.
Local gun shop owners say the number of people coming in looking for "less lethal" self-defense options such as pepper sprays and electric stun guns is on the rise. Whether out of fear or for personal beliefs, many people aren't comfortable carrying guns.
"They want something in the middle. A big part of our society is that way," said Jeff Dillard, president of National Law Enforcement Distributors in Davie. "There's not a day that goes by when we don't have four or five customers come in here discussing this."
Choosing the right item isn't easy.
In Florida, you can carry two different types of weapons without a permit: pepper sprays and stun guns, including the Taser.
Pepper spray
Pepper spray is the cheapest less-lethal item, starting at around $10 for a canister small enough to keep on a key chain. Containers can also be disguised as pens, pagers, lipstick and hand-held fitness weights. Made up of chemicals derived from chili peppers ("OC" spray) or tear gas ("CS" spray), pepper spray causes burning, stinging eyes and coughing. Dillard recommends pepper spray because the effects are lasting. When shot directly into the face and eyes, it will leave the attacker in pain for up to an hour if untreated.
"Whatever I came to do, that's no longer on my mind," Dillard said. "I'm going to be screaming and yelling and rubbing my eyes and in pain."
There are drawbacks. If you fire it into the wind, you may end up with a face full of your own pepper spray.
Some people have been known to fight through the pain of pepper spray, said Robert J. Leitner, chief operating officer of Tactical Products Group in Delray Beach. He prefers stun guns for self-defense.
Stun guns
Stun guns are small, electronic devices that zap assailants, causing pain and locking up their muscles. Stun guns come in different shapes and styles and cost about $20 and up, with most putting out at least 50,000 volts of electricity.
"You only need a second or two to touch the assailant and it also has a powerful deterrent," Leitner said. "In our experience, criminals fear them more than pepper sprays."
One of the devices looks like a pink MP3 player. When a button is pushed, blue sparks arc from two prongs with a startling crackle.
Dillard said the downside of stun guns is that they require direct contact with an attacker, and they don't have a lasting effect like pepper spray does.
You could also be zapped if the device were turned on you in a struggle.
Tasers are the newest less-lethal items on the market. Unlike a traditional stun gun, the Taser shoots two barbed probes up to 15 feet to deliver a 30-second, 50,000 volt zap. They're also the most expensive, starting at $299 for a base model. Police have used them for years to subdue unruly and combative suspects. Since 2006, civilians in Florida have been able to carry Tasers without a concealed weapons permit.
Steve Tuttle, spokesman for the Arizona-based Taser International, said the Taser has none of the shortcomings of pepper sprays and traditional stun guns. You can shoot the Taser from a distance, then drop it and run away. The device will continue to shock the attacker, even when you take your finger off of the button.
"I don't want to get one foot away from them and try to apply something to them directly," Tuttle said. "Place it on the ground, let it do the work for you and get to safety."
Dillard recommends against civilians buying Tasers., like other stun guns. He said recovery from a Taser is immediate after the 30 seconds of zapping.
"What are you going to do when those 30 seconds are up?" he said.
And what if you miss? Both of the Taser's barbed probes must hit a person's body or clothing for it to work. Tuttle said if that happens, you can also use the device's handset as a contact stun gun.
Use caution
Stun guns and pepper spray can be found in local gun stores. Some convenience stores, department stores and outdoor stores also carry pepper spray.
These items are designed to stop attackers without killing them, but there have been rare instances where such devices proved deadly. If you purchase one, you should treat it like a firearm: realize that it is a weapon and make sure to keep it far from kids' reach.
Dillard also warned against storing your pepper spray inside a car. He said Florida's heat can weaken the seals on canisters, and it can take up to six hours to air out your car out if it leaks.
Cossetty Denbow, general manger of National Law Enforcement Distributors, said it would also be good to take a self-defense class, just in case.
"Because with every less-lethal item, there's always the caveat that it might not work," she said.

ITFT / Quick Kill Review"It is enough to note, as we have observed, that the American people have considered the handgun to be the quintessential self-defense weapon." - Justice Scalia, SCOTUS - DC v Heller - 26 JUN 2008
The responsibility of carrying a gun and maybe taking a life is something that not everyone is equiped to handle, even some LEO's.
I have no problem with someone being honest and knowing that they couldn't take a life. My problem lies with the "perceptions" that these devices create, or help to foster. The plain truth is that sometimes a shooting situation is just that, a shooting situation, and needs to be dealt with accordingly.
We don't get many second chances when we are involved in a life or death encounter, so we had better pick the right tool for the job the first time. I'm not saying that a gun is always the answer, but that dependance on a "less lethal" tool when a lethal tool is necessary is foolish.
That is exactly right Biker.
It is a thing that we discuss with much seriousness when teaching CHL classes.
LTL weapons do have their place. I am somewhat concerned that the more "timid" people among us will subsititute firearms with LTL weapons and think that they are well defended.
LTL weapons for some things just dont cut the mustard though. A few I can think of are a potential mall or school shooting scenario or perhaps at a church.A tazer isnt going to do you much good is someone is standing 15 or 20yards away blazing away.
What if several gangbangers confront you on the sidewalk? You have one shot. That is hardly enough.

I agree what happens after you shock the BG,he pulls his gun and he doesn't have a problem taking your life.A stun gun might work ok against an unarmed assailant but you are putting your life on the line expecting them to be unarmed

I too admire her honesty, but her mindset isn't grounded in reality. One (of the many) reason I don't care for LTL weapons is that it requires the defender to be pretty close to the attacker. Tasers are the exception, but they only give a few more feet of a buffer before a physical confrontation ensues. I think I'll keep my distance. Besides, I've got many more years training with a firearm than any LTL weapon.

Reminds me of the ad I see on TV.... about having a security system.... where a "intruder" is coming in the door, she's shocked and the intruder runs away.... and they call her then..... to check to see if she's alright.... and they tell her "we've called the police and they should be on their way". Her reply .... "oh thank goodness you are there for me".
Ok... ya call to see if they are OK, after the intruder was already in the house ???? and called the police, but only after you've called and verified it with the resident. ... and the police... well, they are on the way...
Oh, that will really work well............ just like a lot of other non-lethal items. BG' are arming themselves more and more..... so, what's mace or taser going to do against an armed assailant. About as much as that security system will.
Unfortunately, these options and how they are described still allows people to act as sheep in condition white...with their talisman (pepper spray, taser, stun gun) there to protect them.
While they are on the right track, they are on a different train.
Plus, all of their options do not allow for stand-off distance.

my wife used to have that mindset about my firearms when we first got married, I helped her realize that if it came down to her/me/our child living vs a scumbag....who would she choose?
too bad that a scumbag has to get close enough to put his knife in her in order for that stun gun to work

If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
Less lethal weapons have their place. They are great equalizers against a certain level of violence. Could they be used in lethal force situations? Sure, and you can kill a bear with a .22 but it is not really the best or wisest tool for the job.
I think that people have unrealistic ideas on what these less lethal weapons can do. I have been pepper sprayed. It hurts but I can keep my eye open, take the spray away from you and make you eat the whole can. I have been stunned with a stun gun several times. It gives you a start but that's it, it would just motivate me to take it away from you asap. The problem with the stun gun is that they are not just going to stand their and let you hold it on them for any length of time.
The Taser is very effective, but it is not a cure all. The Taser has a lot of draw backs as well. 1. It is battery operated(enough said) 2. the electricity doesn't always jump far enough through the outer layer of clothing into the skin, for it to work 3. you might easily miss with one barb, causing it not to work 4. savvy street thugs have already developed defenses against the Taser. That's just a start on the Taser. Their are a lot of other issues.
Bottom line, they are effective but certainly not effective enough to be counted on in lethal force encounters.
If LTL weapons were effective in every situation, LE would carry only them. Of course, they aren't, so LEOs still carry firearms.

There are people who conceal carry but use a certain type of round that literally does not penetrate... I don't know if it's some sort of rubber bullet type thing but I saw this "expert" online claim that's it's just as good and reliable as regular ammo to stop criminals... of course, he is assuming that pain is enough to stop a deadly attack and I think such a mindset can get that person killed in their false sense or security... it's just like those house alarm advertisements that claim to "protect" peoples lives and property and they show you a little weakling burglar with no weapon, and they run away after it's triped but all they really do is ALARM and not protect. In real life, the guy could be a hardcore carrier criminal armed and have no regard for life. Just look on what happened to that college student from NC some months ago? 2 armed men broke into her place where she was doing her studies, then they forced her to drive around to ATMs, they shot her up multiple times after they got the money and the investigators claim that are now looking into a possible attempted rape as well... they don't show you the gritty realities of such things in ads for LTL and home alarm systems.

These devices fall into the 'better than nothing' category. They are not nearly as easy to use or as effective in the real world as advertized, the owners don't practice with them regularly, and they probably create a dangerous false sense of security.

I don't either, but I know I could do it if necessary."I don't feel that comfortable thinking that I could kill someone," said Jara, 26, who lives in Miami and works as a graphic designer in Broward County.
Feelings are one thing. Survival is something else. Feelings won't help much in a survival situation.
BTDT, on a couple occasions, though not via firearms. Nicely, each stopped and withdrew prior to the end. Good for them, and me. Win-win, I suppose. In both cases, feelings had nothing to do with it.
As for a stun gun, think about what that means. It temporarily stuns. Then it's gone, at which point, a determined attacker can be up again, angry unlike before. They may have their place, but the "place" is limited.

text: Okay so I got my docs in the mail today for my Feb 7 sailing. I have some mixed emotions. I ofcourse am excited that I am going on the ship and at a good rate. Kinda sad because I got assigned a navigator verandah on deck 5. I know that is the risk of a GTY room, I have had verandahs in the past I just hope I will enjoy the navigator. My thought on those has always been save the money and book a room with a window instead of the closed in verandah. I know I will have a good time and my room selection certainly will not make or break my vacation, and the room reports I have read do not seem bad (I guess you can hear the show music from Animators. That is fine as we have late seating and will be in the show and not in the room during any of the meal times) Thoughts? Does anyone have pictures of the navigator verandahs? Thanks! happy sailing!

"I feel I can offer many things to United. I had other important offers but without a sufficent challenge to make me want to leave United.
"The coach would not guarantee me a place in the XI more than any other player. I know I must work hard to get into this team.

Rated R Rescue
Dalton had Macy pinned down to the floor when he randomly stopped trying to get her naked. He had managed to get her shirt off but she was luckily wearing a camisole underneath and thankfully he didn't try to tug that off too. "This isn't as much fun as I'd thought it'd be," he announced, flinging her shirt across the room out of her reach.
He was seated atop her now and she looked up at his face angrily. "What now?"
"Not sure yet." Dalton got up completely, pulling Macy up from the floor with him. She turned her back on his bed as he stood in front of her, pondering his next move like in a chess match.
Out of the blue Macy asked, "Why haven't you done it yet?" Thinking of Stan's text message had given her an idea. It wasn't a great one, but it was still worth a try—anything to stall Dalton.
"Done what?" he replied, honestly interested.
"Why haven't you … ya know … yet?"
"What do you mean?" He was confused at first but could instantly tell she was embarrassed and uncomfortable. In seconds, he understood what her first question meant. "Oh. You mean why I haven't … actually had sex with you yet?"
He smiled as she whispered, "Yes," glancing away quickly. But when he didn't answer, Macy spoke again softly. "Is it because … you've actually got some kind of feelings?"
Dalton laughed out loud, still not answering.
"I mean if you think about it, if you were some heartless guy … you've would have done it already. Been done and then moved on. Have you not done anything … because … you actually care?" she ended with a question, willing her head to turn and look up at him.
"Oh please, I don't care. And to say I haven't done anything makes you sound pretty insane."
But she pointed a finger at his smirking face. "There you go again! If you didn't care at all, you wouldn't be talking to me!"
His smirk faded and after that she couldn't read his expression. "So you think … I haven't … yet … because I care?"
She didn't reply, but they both knew what her response would be. Macy waited for something—anything—to come next, but what came wasn't what she was expecting.
Dalton threw back his head and laughed cruelly and loudly. She was expecting him to cave with a few simple sentences, not cackle in her face. Obviously, she had to try harder before her spur-of-the-moment idea put her in worst danger then she had been in before.
After Dalton had laughed himself to tears, he took a moment to calm down. He bent over with his hands on his knees, catching his breath.
It was silent for a few minutes until he finally spoke up.
"You're wrong, Macy."
He pounced on her so quickly; she didn't even have the chance to run. Dalton pushed her down to his bed, pulling at her jeans. She pleaded with him to stop but he ignored her.
"I don't care."
He wrestled with her to get the rest of her clothes off but she wasn't giving up without a fight. "Stop, stop, stop!" she screamed loud enough to make Dalton freeze in the process of taking off her pants all the way. She was gasping from the effort, but not willing to give up what seemed to be her last chance at stopping him. "That's not what I meant," she huffed out.
"Then what exactly did you mean, huh?"
"Just … give me … a second." Dalton was seated on top of her back and his weight was making it difficult to form words and complete sentences. "I meant … I think you care … I know you care … because you like me."
"What?" he denied quickly, "I don't like you."
"Why else are you trying to have sex with me then?"
He was silent for a moment, but quick on his feet. "Uh, because I'm a guy. This is what guys do."
Macy was shaking her head as he spoke though, doubting every word that escaped his lips. "You have feelings for me," she simply stated.
And it was his turn to shake his head back and forth, even though she couldn't see what he was doing. The shake was more for him than for her. "No I don't. I just want some sex."
"You could get sex from anyone," she argued, "why me?" Dalton didn't answer and she continued, hoping to convince him on letting her go. "Just admit it, okay? You have feelings and you're jealous I chose Raine over you." A little bit of his weight lifted off her so she kept talking. "In this position, you really can't lie to me. Or yourself… you're only being a jerk 'cause you're pissed off."
"That's some BS." But his tone of voice wasn't the slightest bit convincing. Was she really breaking him down? Was this really, actually working?
"How about I prove it to you?"
"Pssh, whatever. You can't prove anything to me. Especially not this."
"Don't be so sure." Macy had him now; she knew this would work. "First, can you get off of me, please?"
"No can do." Dalton said easily and all her doubts came flooding back to her. But she had to stay strong, she knew she could win this—all she had to do was play the game right.
"Fine, fine. I'll have sex with you."
Now that had really stumped him. "What?"
"I said I'll do it. With one condition."
"What are you trying to play?" he asked curiously but she didn't answer.
"Not this position. I hate being on my stomach," she went on talking as if he hadn't said anything. "…and I hate being pinned down. Can't we just do it normal style?"
Dalton was seriously at a lost for words as he flipped her over. He tried to read her face for something, but there was nothing of help for him there. And the only words Macy repeated in her head were: please, let this work.
He stripped them down to their undergarments and pulled a wrapper from his jeans pocket in the process. As he lay over her, Macy counted down from ten.
Dalton opened the small square wrapper … ten,
He looked one last time at her blank expression … nine, eight, seven,
He pushed down her underwear the slightest bit … six, five, four, three,
Pulled back his own … two, one, and that's when she struck.
Macy used all her strength to punch him in the place that could bring any guy to tears. She hit him so hard an, "oof" escaped him as he rolled over in pain. Quickly, she sprang up and gathered her clothes as he groveled on the carpet floor.
She ran from the room, slamming the door behind her in victory. When Dalton had spoken the words, "No can do," she decided minutes later that there was no way to convince him to let her go. Instead, getting him back in one single punch for all the pain he caused would have to suffice. And it did.

Diamondback DB9's are $ 329 to $ 350
Keltec P11 has been around since 1995 and is not the most refined pistol you can buy, but with 10+1 in a
package smaller than a G26, its not a bad option. They work.
I carry a Ruger sr9c. I find it to be a great gun. If you pay attention and watch for sales you can sometimes find it on sale for 400 which is a bit out of his price range. I also have a taurus 709 and it can be found on sale for about 340. Prices, of course, depend on where you live. Used guns might be the way for him to go. Gun stores, gun ranges and pawn shops are some places to look. I just saw a used Glock 19 for 400 not to long ago.
While there are some who say a Taurus is junk, and they have a right to their own opinion, I have two of them and have never had a problem with them. I am more partial to the Ruger but still.
Let's stop pretending we are all millionaires, or even someone who has a lot of disposable income to spend on firearms. The guy's looking for recommendations - lets help him out without the snobbish remarks.
And Kahr is NOT a "Lower end Gun". It's made in the USA, has a butter smooth trigger, and has excellent quality standards.
I have an M&P Shield, Used to have a P9, and I still think about going back to the P9 (Same dimensions as the CW9) all the time.
Aside from that... the PF9 is hard to beat. You can get em for $250.
Bersa Thunder or BP9CC would be my choice if I wanted something new in that price range. I'd probably look for a used Glock, XD, CZ or M&P though.
The other thing you can do is keep an eye out for LEO trade-ins at Aim Surplus, Widener's, and CDNN. Aim has G19's right now for $370. Widener's has Sig P6's for $390. CDNN has S&W 5096's for $329 and 6906's for $370. LEO trades usually have a lot of holster wear, but LEO's don't shoot their guns a lot typically, and they are almost always armored annually. They are usually very solid guns that just look less than new. Some are a little over the price point, I know
Here's an idea. I skimmed the thread and don't know if it's already been mentioned. Sell the Taurus. If he is on a strict budget, he doesn't need two guns. 380 isn't that cheap to shoot. If in good shape, he might be able to get $150 for it. His $300-$350 becomes as much as $500. Tops in that range for me are the same as others: XD9sc, M&P9c, Glock 26, Bersa UC9...but not necessarily in that order. You may be able to find some of these used in his original price range. But it won't be easy...
Beretta Nano as low as $360
For people on a tight budget I frequently recommend the 3rd gen. Smith's; fantastic, reliable weapons priced way under their value. The 3913 is a little heavy for it's size being a metal gun, but still easy to conceal due to it being so slim. The 5900 and 6900 series are double stack guns in the same line; all 9mm.
There is also plenty of used/LE trade in GLOCKs, many are hardly fired. In fact my local PD is selling their 2nd and 3rd Gen. G22's and G23's to the LEO's if they want them for ~ $300 and are getting Gen. 4's for duty. My buddy's issued Gen. 3 has only been fired for qualification twice a year for 50 rounds. Best he could remember not over 500 rounds. Oh, and his lack of training really showed last time we went to the range together.
Good luck and let us know what he chooses.

Rochedale is a Brisbane suburb, 17km from the city centre and near Rochedale South, Burbank, Mackenzie, Wishart, and Eight Mile Plains. It was originally farmland used by European settlers in the last 1860s, and is named after one of the more prominent immigrant families. The area is popular for its proximity to the M1 motorway and good transport links. It is still possible to buy large plots of land and a feature of the suburb is the large number of newly built mansions. Much of the surrounding bushland is being developed into housing estates, attracting more people to the area. The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Hospital is 8km away in Coopers Plains, and the Sunnybank Private Hospital is also 8km away. Schools include St Peter's Primary, Rochedale Primary, Rochedale State High School and the Redeemer Lutheran College. There are Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, and Lutheran churches. 1300 FLOWERS™ is one of Australia's leading suppliers of delivered flowers and gifts.

Sometimes life feels like it may be too much. More than we can handle. More than we are capable of. Relationships, jobs, to-do lists — maybe we're just not cut out for all of this?
When it all seems too much, when you're overwhelmed and buried under a blanket of doubt – would you stop yourself? Stop right in the middle of your negative thinking, stop the cycle of self-defeat. Make yourself pause.
Change the words you're saying to yourself over and over and over again.
Our words are meant to help. Don't let them be used in another way.
Remind yourself, this life you're living it is wholly yours. It is only yours and you are enough to live it well. You have what it takes.
You are enough.

Long-standing relationships and a suite of specialised programmes help Guy Carpenter's clients to reach their enterprise goals, as US CEO Andrew Marcell explained to Intelligent Insurer.
You have been in your new role just over a year now. What are the biggest challenges you have faced? Any surprises?
Changing market conditions are creating new challenges and opportunities for our clients. Insurers are challenged to grow in an environment of increasing competitive pressures, regulatory and technology changes. Sustained excess capital, the growing influence of convergence participants, low investment returns and diminishing reserve releases add another layer of strategic complexity.
Insurers are also faced with uncertainties surrounding finalisation of the US Farm Bill and the reauthorisation of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). Additionally, they must now consider emerging perils including climate change, cyber risk and supply chain interruptions—all of which have little historical data available for modellers and underwriters to utilise.

Wholesome Family TimesMature
Twenty Foreplay by Janet Jackson captured the moment as John's dad woke up for a few minutes. He looked around to see his family around him. He smiled and coughed loudly.
John opened his eyes first and announced, "dad is awake."
Steve and Boug smiled as they walked up to him. His mom turned to the side of her hospital bed and cheered.
John started, "hey dad."
John Sr., hoarsely whispered, "I love you guys."
The doctor walked in and grabbed his charts, "Good Afternoon John." (Referencing his dad.) "How are you feeling? You look much better."
John Sr., grabbed the orange juice next to him and took a sip. "I am feeling sore but I am alive. I am fine."
The doctor smiled, "we are going to hold you for a few more days and monitor you."
John Sr., thanked him as he left the room. He started to have a conversation with his family. They laughed and reminisced about positive family memories. They also contact Dan, just in case, he doesn't have to come, now that their dad has sustained. John excused himself to call Denise after the credit card incident.
John: hello?
Denise: yes? How is your dad?
John: my dad is recovering. Are you okay?
Denise: I am embarassed.
John: come pick me up and I'll go buy those items.
Denise: it's not about that, I have my own money, they wouldn't let me use.
John: I understand. Can you come by the hospital? I want to see you.
Denise: Yeah, whatever you want. I am so happy for the good news about your dad.
John: I am too.

- A native of the Mediterranean and Middle East, Brachypodium distachyon, has zero commercial or agricultural importance.
- The weed's tiny, easily manipulated genetic code makes it ideal to serve as a lab testbed for understanding more complex, valuable grasses.
A humble weed native to the Mediterranean and Middle East and viewed by gardeners in some countries as an invasive pest could hold the secret to boosting yields of cereals and biofuels, scientists hope.
In a paper published on Wednesday by the British journal Nature, biologists from both sides of the Atlantic said they had unraveled the genome of Brachypodium distachyon, a small wild grass that offers big promise in plant biotechnology.
Also called purple false brome, this native of the Mediterranean and Middle East is a plant of zero commercial or agricultural importance.
But its tiny, easily manipulated genetic code makes it ideal to serve as a lab testbed for understanding more complex, valuable grasses grasses.
"It has one of the smallest known genomes among grasses, it's easy to work with and is physically small," said one of the investigators, Todd Mockler, an assistant professor of botany at Oregon State University.
"The plants are easy to grow, easy to study and have a short lifecycle," he added. "And what we learn from Brachypodium will be of critical value in work with other plants of agronomic importance."
Brachypodium is the first member of a sub-family of grasses called Pooideae -- a category that includes wheat, barley, forage crops and switchgrass, which is of major interest for biocrop production -- to be sequenced.
The grass family has two other sub-families, Ehrhartoideae and Panicoideae, which include corn and rice. These important cereals have already had their genomes unraveled.
Genomic research entails pinpointing genes and understanding how they work in an organism.
In plants, this can unlock knowledge of, for example, genes that confer resistance to drought, offer a bigger head of food grains or boost yields of natural oils that can be used as biofuels.
After identifying these genes, the next step is to insert them -- either through traditional cross-breeding or through genetic engineering, an area that is controversial in many countries -- into the plant's code to create new strains.
In the new study, the research team found that Brachypodium has 25,532 genes, somewhat fewer than rice (28,236) and sorghum (27,640), from the two other grass subfamilies.
These three grasses share between 77 and 84 percent of their genes. The relatively narrow diversity shows that the trio of sub-families had a common ancestor between 56 and 72 million years ago.

After leading Jobu University to eight-straight Hakone Ekiden appearances, head coach Katsuhiko Hanada, 44, has announced that he will step down from his position and leave Jobu University at the end of March following the end of the academic year. In an interview with the Jomo Newspaper coach Hanada said, "In the future I would like to continue to be involved with developing athletes," but he declined to discuss the reason for his resignation or his specific future plans. Jobu finished last at this year's Hakone Ekiden.
During his time as an athlete at Waseda University Hanada set the stage record on the Hakone Ekiden's Fourth Stage, contributing to Waseda's overall win. At the S&B corporate team he ran the 10000 m at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics. After his retirement as an athlete Hanada left athletics, but after receiving an email from the student manager of Jobu University's track and field team asking if he would become their coach Hanada began leading the team in April, 2004. In 2008 a Jobu runner made Hakone for the first time as part of the Kanto Region Select Team, and the following year Jobu finished 3rd at the Yosenkai qualifier to seal its first Hakone appearance. Hanada developed a reputation for enthusiastic leadership and for being able to turn athletes who had been nobodies in high school into solid Hakone runners.
Following Hanada's departure assistant coach Shigekatsu Kondo, 41, will take over as head coach. At Kanagawa University Kondo ran the Hakone Ekiden's uphill Fifth Stage all four years, winning the stage twice and helping Kanagawa score its first-ever overall Hakone win his senior year in 1997. After running for S&B he worked as head coach at Shoin University from 2005 to 2011 before joining the Jobu coaching staff in 2012. In an unusual step, Jobu University is publicly advertising an opening for a new assistant coach to work alongside Kondo. A university spokesperson commented, "Kondo is looking for someone with a similar positive mindset. Looking at a wide range of people will help find the best talent and bring the best support to the team."
2016 箱根駅伝 7区 上武大 田中くん!もの凄い根性! 襷の力!泣けた! pic.twitter.com/FPbub0ZdH5
— ・・・。 (@aromastage) January 3, 2016
Translator's note: One of the most dramatic parts of this year's Hakone Ekiden was when Jobu University first-year Yuya Tanaka nearly collapsed on the Seventh Stage. Tanaka's alarming struggle was omitted from the "Mo Hitotsu no Hakone Ekiden" documentary, suggesting it may have had a serious impact on Hanada's future at Jobu. Jobu's Hollywood sports movie plotline rise partially inspired the movie adaptation of "Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru," with real footage of Jobu's 2009 Hakone debut used for scenes of the fictional team running in the movie. When Jobu qualified for the 2009 Hakone Ekiden at the Yosenkai it was the first team to have its top ten cross the finish line. On the broadcast when someone told Hanada this he giddily answered, "What!?! Seriously? This is a dream, right?"
Hanada was greatly respected by other coaches and runners. Following the news of his stepping down Kansuke Morihashi, a senior at Daito Bunka University, tweeted: "Hanada is retiring? Man, it's a tough world out there. At Hakone this year he called out to me, a rival team's runner, over his coach's car loudspeaker and said, 'Come on, Morihashi, this is your last Hakone too! Don't leave any regrets behind! Run!' I'll never forget him saying that."

but i saw a usaf officer saying bad things about the aircraft .i cant post link here
I watched it again, and I still don't see where he said there was anything wrong with the Su-30.
He said they had serious problems identifying targets... but that is because they were not using their radars, they were relying on AWACS aircraft.
Remember an AWACS aircraft is not just a radar in the air... it is both airborne Warning and CONTROL.
This means that the guys in the AWACS should be detecting targets and directing friendly fighters to those targets.
In other words they were operating in a situation where the AWACS they were operating with was no compatible with their datalink system.
If a group of USAF aircraft went to a similar exercise in India they would find that they could not communicate with the AWACS there either and would be in the same position as the Indian pilots in having to verbally communicate with the AWACS and the extra time that takes would mean they would lose aircraft and then have to make the choice of kill or be killed. The Indians chose to kill, and I rather suspect the US pilots in the same situation would take the same decision.
They didn't say the Russian datalink equipment was bad, they said it was not compatible with the NATO standard Link 16 system.
His description of AESA radar was a bit simplistic too. The PESA fitted to the Indian aircraft is a very good radar.

As Graham ushered me out of the automatic doors, I turned to him. He grinned at me. "I told you I'd take care of it," he said. "You're out – what more do you want?"
"I want to go home," I said honestly. "I want to see my parents, I want to tell them what happened."
I stalked away, but not far, because he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Narrowing his eyes, he spoke quietly.
"You can't go back," he told me. "Don't you understand? You can't tell anyone about this. They wouldn't believe you anyway."
"Why not?" I asked.
He let me go and scoffed. "Think about it. You can't go, 'Hey Mom and Dad, last night I died and when I woke up, I had supernatural abilities. Oh, also there are people after me. I think they want to kill me.' You'd sound crazy."
"So the hospital is a fitting place for me then," I said, giving him a small smile.
"You're so clever," Graham said, rolling his eyes. "Listen to me. It's important." He slipped into a coffee shop that was along the street, ordered, and sat down by the window. "You have to be careful now. You can't use your power around normal people, they'll feel it."
"How?" I asked.
After our coffee arrived, Graham took a sip. "You'd see it in their face, when you touch them and access their memories. There's a slight twitch of the eyes, because they, for some reason, can feel something in their head. It's unusual, but it happens."
"How am I supposed to use my power then?" I said, raising an eyebrow. I drank and stared out onto the street. I watched the cars and people for a few more minutes before I turned my attention back to Graham.
He looked at me, his green eyes calm. "Only when necessary - they can't track you if you don't use too much."
"That makes sense," I said, nodding. I stirred the coffee with my finger. "So how did you do it?"
"Excuse me?" He raised an eyebrow. "How did I do what?"
"Convince Mitchell to let me go," I replied. "There was no way unless you-"
He gave me a sly look. "I had to find a better way."
"But how?" I pressed. "What else are you gifted with?"
A small smile fluttered across his lips as he drained his coffee. Then he glanced at me, and reached out to grip a strand of my hair.
"I can't tell you all of my secrets right away, darling."
I frowned. "I need to know sometime."
"I'll tell you when the time is right," he said. Then he stood. "We should get going. The faster we move, the less likely it is we'll be found. Until then, we should lay low."
"Can I ask you something?"
He nodded. "Go ahead."
"Are there others?" I asked quietly.
"Others?" he repeated, confused.
"Like us," I offered. "Teenagers with powers."
Graham leaned back in his chair and squinted at me. "I've been thinking about that, too. I haven't found anyone, not that I've been searching. But, trust me when I say you will know when you've found one."
I hoped he was right, because whatever was coming for me, I couldn't battle it alone.

Three Kings of Nothing - Chapter 7Mature
Part 2 of Three Kings of Nothing
Chapter VII: What now?
Darkness. That's all I saw. Where am I? Am I sleeping? I must have blacked out, dammit! I sat there, seeing nothing in my consciousness until I started to awaken. My eyes fluttered open, only to see Zero and Athena standing over me. I was still inside Zant's house. Or at least the remains of it. It was almost like a giant sword swooped down on the house and sliced it in half. It was a perfectly executed cut, about ten feet above me. Almost the ceiling of Zant's room. "What in God's name happened?" Athena yelled with a very scared look. "Did you destroy the Grimoire?" My mouth was agape in awe of the house, still. I shook my head slowly, saying, "No, not even close. He took the book and I blacked out. He used the Grimoire to subdue me. He used a few spells from it and then I blacked out on the spot. But he didn't call it the Grimoire then. He said something like "The Book of Death". Could it really be THAT Grimoire? The one that was supposedly lost?" We all agreed it probably was. We knew nothing about it, so we didn't know what we were supposed to do. I knew we definitely had to find Zant and defeat him, but how? Again, we knew nothing about this book. We started to look around the room for hints on where he might've gone. "Hey guys? I think I found a note he left," Zero said. Me and Athena walked to him and started to read the note. "To whom it may concern," It started to say. Even when he's evil, he still writes in a latterly fashion. What a douche. "I'm going to Mt. Azalea so that I may resurrect the great demon that lies within. I doubt anyone will get in, so don't even try. Do what you may, of course. Anyways, I plan to destroy the world and use this power to restart. A whole new world for me to control. Won't that be something? And If the three bastards I befriended are reading this, come and fight me. I need two souls to resurrect the demon, and an extra soul to make myself live. I think I'll take Athena's for myself, hmm? I'll be waiting, Dante. I especially wait for you.
Sincerely, Zant Arneaus"
Nobody said anything. We were all in shock for what was to come ahead. The three of us, we were just a group of friends. But now, we have to destroy an extremely powerful demon. I can't believe that. The others couldn't either. We just stood there for a few minutes before Athena turned and said with a very quiet whisper, "I'm going home. We'll talk about this tomorrow." With that, she left me and Zero still standing there. We both left a few minutes after her. We went to our separate homes without saying a word on the way. I got home, only to find myself sitting down, thinking about what had happened. Where is Azalea? What is this demon? Whatever it was, We are going to find it and that's that. I snapped out of my trance to hear my cell phone. I checked my caller ID. It was Athena. I picked up with a "Hi" and got an immediate response. "Come over now. We need to talk. Zero is coming too." She sounded scared. But with a large hint of seriousness and bravery. I could already tell what it was going to be about. I swiftly got up from my seat to go to her house. When I got there, Zero and Athena were standing outside, waiting. I looked into their eyes and I knew exactly what was going to come next. I walked up to the both of them and we stood there again for a minute before a voice broke the silence. "We need to find Zant." It was Zero. Athena nodded her head in approval. "I agree. I'm with you." She spoke in a serious and lighthearted tone. Like she wasn't afraid. They both looked at me and Zero held out his hand for a bro-handshake. I thought for a second. Zant is a very powerful magician and swordsman. Can we take him? Hell. Yes. We. CAN! I grabbed his hand in approval, and we did the shake. A high five, fist bump, and then a sword crossing with our arms. We all whooped loudly and I then screamed to the stars, "We're gonna getcha, Zant! No matter what comes in my way, you will be defeated!" I then put my head back to ground level and looked at Zero and Athena. "As long as I have you two with me, nothing will stand before us. We can conquer anything. Now, who's with me? We gonna get this guy or what?" They both looked back, then at each other, and we all agreed.
Watch out, Zant! And by the way, I won't ever let anything happen to my friends. Nobody shall die by your hand.

Elland Road has become a theatre of ghosts in recent years but it was full of modern-day heroes last night as Neil Warnock's Leeds United knocked Everton out of the Capital One Cup with a scintillating performance. Inspired by the enigmatic veteran El Hadji Diouf, the Championship side beat the Premier League's third-placed team and deservedly so.
Warnock was delighted. A semi-finalist with Sheffield United in 2003 he declared this "as good a performance and result as I've had in the competition given Everton being such a good side and us having so many injuries. We were better on the night. I think even our fans were surprised."
Aidan White gave Leeds a fourth-minute lead which Rodolph Austin doubled with 20 minutes left. A late header from Sylvain Distin gave Everton hope but it was not enough, David Moyes' selection gamble had backfired. The Everton manager had made six changes from the team that cruised to a 3-0 victory at Swansea at the weekend giving a debut to Francisco Junior, a 20-year-old midfielder from Guinea-Bissau, and a first start to Costa Rican Bryan Oviedo.
"Some of the players that came in took their chance," said Moyes darkly, "some didn't. If you don't use them what is the point of having them?"
Warnock, his options limited by injury, made four changes, one of which was White who made an immediate impact. Steven Naismith played a lazy pass inside which Austin pinched away from Junior and White pounced on to the loose ball ahead of Marouane Fellaini. He glided by Distin and swept the ball beyond Jan Mucha with a composure that belied the Otley-born youngster's failure to score in his previous 72 Leeds appearances.
The goal settled the young home team and they went on to create the better chances of a tight first half notably when Naismith cleared off the line in added time after Mucha had parried Luciano Becchio's header from Diouf's cross. In between, Michael Tonge drove a free-kick past the far post and White, after a neat interchange with Diouf and Sam Byram, brought a low save from Mucha. All Everton mustered in response was a shot from Victor Anichebe which sailed well wide.
Moyes, having re-jigged his formation several times in the first half, made a more comprehensive reshuffle at the break bringing on Phil Neville and Steven Pienaar to add passion, composure and craft.
The changes worked as Everton upped the tempo with Pienaar, Felliani, Naismith and Anichebe all threatening Leeds' goal before the hour-mark. Naismith, especially, should have scored but somehow mis-directed his header from Anichebe's cross after being left unmarked at the far post. Everton had solved one problem, the failure to create chances, now Moyes sent on Nikica Jelavic in the hope he would solve the failure to convert opportunities.
But the switch disrupted Everton's momentum and Leeds, having withstood the assault, mounted some pressure of their own. This led to a fortuitous free-kick won by Austin off Seamus Coleman. Diouf rolled it back to Danny Pugh whose shot struck the shins of Neville and Austin in quick succession before sneaking inside the far post. Austin did not know much about Pugh's shot, but the ball would have gone wide had it not hit him, so it was his goal.
Everton pressed desperately and Jamie Ashdown was finally brought into action by a shot from Fellaini. With a dozen minutes to go he was beaten by a looping header from Distin after Anichebe flicked on Pienaar's free-kick. But it was not enough and Everton, who must have felt this competition represented a realistic chance of a first trophy since 1995, were out.
"We lost the game in the opening 20 minutes," said Moyes. "It was like going back in time," concluded Warnock. "A great cup tie, tackles, headers, rain chucking it down, both centre-halves needing stitches." And Leeds United winning.
Man of the match Diouf.
Match rating 7/10.

Barack Obama got his hands dirty to help the homeless to commemorate Martin Luther King Day.
The US president was joined by the rest of his family to help fill burritos for the city's homeless at DC Central Kitchen on Monday during the national holiday.
The kitchen, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, distributes 5,000 meals a day to low income and at-risk residents.
Speaking on the work of the charity, Mr Obama, who is pictured with 15-year-old daughter Malia, said: "I just want to thank everybody here for the great work they do."
They created mexican wraps filled with lamb, beef, cheese and vegetables whilst wearing aprons with the organisation's logo on them.
Vice president Joe Biden took part in another soup kitchen event at So Others Might Eat, which is run by the Catholic Volunteer Network.
Martin Luther King Day is an American federal holiday which marks the birthday of the famous civil rights advocate.
It was first observed in 1986, to commemorate his fight for racial equality.
