Cops Change Habits as Gas Prices Rise
There are 72 comments on the WLTX Columbia story from May 23, 2008, titled Cops Change Habits as Gas Prices Rise. In it, WLTX Columbia reports that:With gasoline climbing toward $4 a gallon, police officers around the country are losing the right to take their patrol cars home and are being forced to double up in cruisers and walk the beat more.

I hope the gas prices don't have an effect on where and how often Police Patrol. We as citizens are suffering enough and now we have to worry about Police Safety. What is this world coming to? And Police shouldn't let criminals have knowledge of Patrol car gas problems. They will take advantage of that fact.

Sad, they give out traffic tickets and arrest probably one murder/rapist every 5 years on average.

RG, don't be so dam afraid, be willing to protect yourself.
I can't afford to pay more taxes for police protection when I should be allowed to protect myself.

I'm sorry but police officers work 10x harder than the average person. Your office is probably located in a nice building w/ air conditioning, huh? Their offices are their cars...you probably get to sleep @ 9pm, they never sleep & most times are on call. They have to work x-tra duties, just to make ends meet...you probably drive a nice car & most officers can't afford that. As far as them driving cars home, NOT ALL OFFICERS GET A TAKE HOME CAR! My spouse doesn't. The officer who picks their child up from school may be going home to drop his/her child off & then off to work...you don't know. Leaving their engines running...well in your office do you have air conditioning? Turn it off then....you'll see how long you last in an hot a** office. They leave their engines running for a reason...in the emergency of something terrible happening while @ a stop/call. Their computers must reboot everytime their cars are shut off...so find out your facts about why they leave them running. They are out their trying to protect stupid people & face more crime than the average person will ever know. Get the facts straight before putting them down!!!! We as a society would like to change a lot of things, but the officers working the streets didn't make the rules, the government, senate, house of representatives, etc..they did. Yes, they knew how much money they would be making each year, but they still made the choice to try & help better our communities...for this I think they need a round of applause.

I believe I commented on the wrong one...sorry SSS...lol

Leave their engines running?
Her's why.
so that they can sit in airconditioned comfort while waiting to catch a minivan mom driving 5mph over the posted speed limit 1 second sooner.

I think they also turn their head to more crime than the average person will ever know as well.
ESP in the ghetto.
#69 May 25, 2008
Just a note to the US Marine...most police depts lease their cars b/c the dept. can't afford to buy them, therefore @ 60,000 miles they must be traded in. City of CLB though they rarely get new cars...they run theirs to over 100k miles & they don't get new cars every year...get your facts. Don't try to justify your career vs. theirs...both are just as equally difficult. You may be out there defending our country, but their here trying to get the criminals off the flippin streets. So, while your in Iraq, their here...As for weight...I've seen military men & women w/ a little extra baggage as well...weight has nothing to do w/ the job that you or they perform.. GROW UP....

Thanks. I take pleasure in my service to my country. Now on your comment I know of many retired cop car dealerships...lol... Not to mention why can't they replace these cars with less expensive ones instead of running around in new chargers and Impala's? What alot of people fail to realize is that these vehicles need more maintenance because they are used more and the more millage the faster the vehicle is replaced. This maintenance isn't provided out of trooper pocket. Just like the gas it does come out of tax payer money. I just think if cops are allowed to take them home and use them for their personal use then gas, maintenance and repair should be partially their expense.
#71 Jun 26, 2008
First off get it right.... Making a point and complaining are two different things! I fight for you too so have a little more respect for the way you talk to anyone by being ungrateful for the service! Secondly.... their is no such thing as former Marines if you knew any you would also know that!!!! Third I know many cops that abuse their PRIVILEGE and if my statement bothered you then I would guess you are one, are married to one, or related to one! The fact of the matter is I have seen many off duty cops on the road who have turned on their sirens just to get through a traffic jam and then turn them off a mile down the road. I've also witnessed many of them run red lights without sirens on, fail to use signals while changing lanes and run stop signs! Maybe you don't read up but I can remember an off duty cop in Chicago who was driving under the influence in his patrol car and failed to stop at a red light and killed a pedestrian. Yes, this is a "Free" country but only because of those who have fought and given their lives for it to be free. That doesn't mean abuse of the resources we are given. Oh and FYI Marines aren't the ARMY we don't get enlistment bonuses...lol... and Im sorry if I offend you in any way but I am entitled to my point of view just like everyone else and if you are any one else dislikes it than we might as well stop fighting for freedom!
#72 Jun 26, 2008
Boy look who's calling the kettle black.... Maybe they should put you out in the streets policing everyone then, so you can stop complaining... Thats the problem with Americans. Everybody wants to complain but then they don't want to do anything about it!!! Stop driving.. gas prices will go down when their is no demand!!! America makes criminals and then wants to punish them. Maybe everybody needs to get their heads out of their asses and start helping out in the community and then maybe you'll make their jobs less difficult ever think of that. Now before you tell someone to grow up look at yourself in the mirror and think to yourself "WHAT CAN I DO TODAY TO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD IN A POSITIVE WAY INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AND DOING NOTHING AS USUAL" FYI... IT MIGHT BE SO IN THE CITY OF CLB WERE EVER THAT IS BUT NOT EVERY CITY IS THE SAME. SO I HAVE MY FACTS STRAIGHT WERE MY CITY IS CONCERNED!!! OH AND I'M SORRY IF I HURT YOUR FEELINGS TOO BUT THE US IS STATISTICALLY THE MOST OVER WEIGHT COUNTRY OVER ALL.

I have read all these comments. I agree with alot and don't agree with alot. The beauty of democracy! Truth is like has been mentioned before these men and women knew what they were getting into including the pay... Cars don't make them faster.... When has a 911 call saying someone is about to or in the process of getting killed ever been intercepted in time to actually save that person??? Most people in jails are in jails for minor violations like drug use, violation of probation, child support, etc. The murderers are rarely ever caught by cops in uniform. Those are left to investigators. Yes, tax payer money pays for these vehicles, that also means that our taxes keep going up because the state needs more funds to dip out of. My opinion and nobody has to agree to it.... is that they should have their own personal vehicles to drive around in like everybody else. New York City PD doesn't get any take home vehicles and Ill tell you what they have 10 times more crime to deal with than most other cities. They also have mounted police in parks, police in BICYCLES and on Motorcycles. The job still gets done and it's the same heat just more people to cover. I saw an off duty police officer in his patrol driving without a seatbelt just the other day in Heath Springs. I mean come on.... do they have to take the things home??? Not only that but follow the rules and regulations you sooooooo much enforce! I would have gotten a ticket for driving around without a seatbelt! Who polices the police??? OH and please stop being childish and attacking people who have an opinion. I know that cops and cop wives, husbands, parents... get upset and want to react to everyones comments but I haven't read any comment so far that hasn't been the truth. Remember not every state has take home vehicles, not every state get only vehicles there are other means of transportation and the heat doesn't stop them. We have to find ways to make living better for everyone and cops should not be exempt.

Bandipur Safari Lodge, Bandipur
Bandipur Safari Lodge Bandipur National Park Mysore - Ooty Road Gundalpet Chamrajnagar – 571126
Bandipur Safari Lodge Details
Bandipur Safari Lodge is the perfect halt for the wildlife safari, which is located on Mysore-Ooty road. It is near to the famous Bandipur National Park with the optimum atmosphere gifted by the Nilgiris. The Park formed by the Mysore Maharajas is one of the biggest tiger reserves in India.
It is an ideal place to learn about biological conservation which enhances our knowledge regarding wildlife including animals like elephants, boars, sambhar with predators like tigers and leopards and also infinite kinds of birds. The dry season of March to May is most appropriate for visiting Bandipur as the weather gives access to high visibility.
Animals are found near water areas and the heat forces the rarest of animals to overcome estivation and move out. November to January is best for bird watchers as certain migratory birds fly from northern India. This time is also suitable for trekking till the scorching heat of the summer returns back.

WEST JEFFERSON-Two Ashe County High School students were charged last week following an alleged assault on a third student.
That's according to Ashe County Sheriff James Williams and school district officials.
Ashe County High School Resource Officer Joe Francis said a disagreement between three students led to a confrontation at the school on Dec. 10. During the scuffle, the victim's clavicle was seriously injured, Francis said.
"That's the dividing line for us when we consider charges following these incidents," Williams said Tuesday. "If it's a normal kind of high school shoving match, that might not call for anything, but when a kid is seriously hurt we've got to take that into account."
Francis said he and high school staff questioned multiple students about the events that led up to the incident. Ashe County High School Principal Jason Krider characterized the encounter as a misunderstanding that became physical.
"We're not entirely sure about what led to it," Francis said. "Something may have been said between the students; it may have been some kind of disagreement over a vape pen. We spoke to a lot of students about what happened."
Both students charged in the incident are 17-years old, Francis said. One was charged with felony assault inflicting serious injury, while the second was charged with misdemeanor simple assault. Neither are currently in custody.
Krider said the district had taken additional disciplinary action against the students involved in the incident.

Lessons for iMovie is a 21 lesson tutorial that teaches you the essentials of importing, organizing, editing, and sharing movies using Apple's iMovie software.
Lessons for iMovie
Lessons for iMovie
Lessons for iMovie is a tutorial designed to be your essential iMovie learning companion. We do this by breaking down the entire video editing process into a series of short to-the-point lessons. You'll begin by learning how to import video from your iPhone, GoPro or any other camera, then organize and rate your footage so you can quickly find what you're looking for in preparation for editing.
You'll first create a Hollywood-style trailer from the clips you've imported, then turn your attention to building a movie, clip-by-clip, that will form the building blocks of your story. Once the story structure is in place, you'll learn how to shape it using iMovie's editing commands, then refine it further using the Clip Trimmer and Precision Editor.
We'll show you how to add sound effects and music to your movie and what tools to use in order to ensure your audio sources don't compete with one another. You'll learn how to animate Photos; add and adjust Video Overlay Effects such as Split Screen, Picture in Picture, and Green/Blue Screen effects. If color or exposure needs improving in your shots, we'll give you the steps for correcting and enhancing them; and how to make your shots better match one another.
You'll learn how to apply filters and adjust the speed of your videos to create drama, comedy or add visual interest. Since your movies are ultimately meant to be seen, we'll teach you how to share your movie so they can be played on all your Apple devices and how to publish your movies to video sharing destinations like YouTube and Vimeo. Finally, you'll learn how to archive your projects or move them to another drive in order to clear up disk space.

Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Mr. President, I rise to submit a resolution condemning the Government of Syria for crimes against humanity. I am pleased to be joined by Senators GRAHAM, KLOBUCHAR, KIRK, CARDIN, COATS, COLLINS, and MCCAIN in submitting this resolution.
I am very proud we have strong bipartisan support and I thank, in particular, Senator Graham for his leadership, along with Senator McCain, who repeatedly and consistently in this area of human rights and liberties have stood for basic American principles of democracy and freedom. I had the great opportunity to visit a number of the Middle Eastern countries with them, and my strong support for this kind of resolution rises from the firsthand views we were able to have of the results of freedom fighters in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt and the impact on the future of their country and being on the right side of history, as the United States was there. Those people showed their gratitude and welcomed us to their countries.
I am grateful to Senators MCCAIN and GRAHAM for giving me that opportunity, along with Senators Sessions and Hoeven, who accompanied us, for their leadership.
Syrian crimes against humanity include acts such as murder, torture and unlawful punishment and imprisonment when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack on civilian populations.
Since peaceful protests began last year, the Syrian regime has brutalized and savaged its own people, leaving thousands dead as it commits horrific crimes against humanity, including the abduction and torture of children.
This resolution tells the Syrian people they are not alone, that the American people are with them as they fight for freedom and basic democratic rights; the people of the world are watching.
On November 23, 2011, the U.N.-appointed Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic expressed grave concern that ``crimes against humanity of murder, torture, rape or other forms of sexual violence ..... imprisonment or other severe deprivation of liberty, enforced disappearances of persons and other inhumane acts ..... have occurred in different locations in Syria since March 2011.''
The Commission also found that ``the Syrian Arab Republic bears responsibility for these crimes and violations.''
Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs Jeffrey Feltman testified before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate that ``large numbers of Syrians are living every day under siege, deprived of basic necessities including food, clean water and medical supplies, and women and children are wounded and dying for lack of treatment.''
General Mattis, commander of the U.S. Central Command, for whom I have the strongest and deepest respect, explained before the Senate Armed Services Committee ``the Syrian military continues to ruthlessly use lethal force with impunity against the Syrian people.''
In this body, we have not remained silent in the face of this humanitarian disaster, approving on February 17, 2012, S. Res. 379, condemning violence by the Government of Syria against the Syrian people. We have also approved S. Res. 391, which I cosponsored, condemning violence by the Government of Syria against journalists and expressing the sense of the Senate on freedom of the press in Syria.
The world should be inspired by the continuing courage and determination of Syrian protesters standing and speaking, despite the Syrian military gunning down and bombing their homes, businesses, and neighborhoods.
I know our Nation is at war and rightly wary of intervention abroad. But military intervention is not our only option, not the only means to summon support or step forward in solidarity with the freedom fighters in Syria, nor is military intervention alone sufficient to call forth the world's conscience. Even without military action, we need not abdicate the democratic rights and principles that underlie and underpin our own Nation's constitutional ethos.
One powerful and profound step this body can take is to bear witness to the atrocities occurring in Syria. More than 9,000 people have died in Syria since these protests began. As Elie Wiesel has said, ``For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.''
The Syrian thugs who detain and torture children must know the United States bears witness to their crimes. We should say to President Assad that the world is watching and witnessing as he uses snipers to target civilians, indiscriminately shelling homes and businesses, and torturing protesters who dare to speak of change.
This resolution calls on President Obama to bear witness by using his existing authority. America can and must bear witness by taking and preserving evidence of actions and incidents in Syria that constitute crimes against humanity. America must bear witness by asking the President's newly created Atrocities Prevention Board to consider crimes against humanity occurring in Syria.
These atrocities epitomize the crimes this prevention board must address. I commend President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton for their work at the U.N. and with our allies to assist the Syrian people. We should make our own findings about what has occurred in Syria concerning the crimes against humanity. We cannot avoid this obligation simply because the result may present difficult choices.
As Martin Luther King would often remind us, ``The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.''
If we bear witness today, justice will come closer for the Syrian people. President Assad and the Government of Syria, its leaders and senior officials who are responsible for crimes against humanity, will be brought to account and justice for their crimes.
I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this resolution.

Brandwatch got another batch of enhancements over the last week, and here is a quick summary.
First of all, we have made it easier to compare a group of queries, with two small changes:
- We modified the Site Analysis for Query Group component to use a stacked bar chart, that way each query is highlighted using a different colour, and you can click on each area of the chart to go through to the list of mentions for that particular query on that particular site
- We made it possible to show or hide individual queries on the History for Query Group component's graph
Secondly, we started a hardware upgrade process to speed up the Brandwatch dashboards. You may have already noticed that several components load more quickly now, particularly for very large queries.
Finally, the Mention Download limit has been increased from 1000 to 5000 mentions, making it easier to get hold of data for large queries.

Spike TV Renews 'Bar Rescue' For Season 2
26 Comments
Having worked on this show I can tell you the people involved are very nice and the show is astonishing in how much work is put into revamping and updating these bars. Great to hear this, they really deserved it!!!
heck yea they did!
Jon Taffer is a GREAT host on a great show. He blows away Kitchen Nightmares and Restaurant Impossible! I like how edgy it is too. The show is really too good for Spike!
I agree totally, Spike doesn't do this show justice, mainly because their much to many ads cause breaks that are to long and to frequent.
(I know,I know shows need ads,but here is a point of total distraction)
Came across show when surfing, and got addicted from 1st viewing. Saw about 4-5 episodes. Nice not having just British consultants (cooking and salon shows) and he brings on specialists for cooking and bar areas so he can focus on the big picture. Also like the short follow-ups after they leave to see if the bar is successful or not.
Taffer gets it! Common sense solutions backed up scientifically. I love the stats he throws out there regarding demographics and trends. As a bar owner – this show is "required reading" for me and my staff. Bring on Season 2!!
We're attempting to open a club in a very trendy area in Milwaukee's (WI) Historic 3rd Ward. It's in (as all the buildings are) a renovated century-old warehouse complete with enormous beams, cream city brick, etc. Since accidentally finding John's program and absolutely loving it, we plan on reading and/or watching everything John has to offer. We already own a successful financial planning practice so we can run a (financial) business. But John seems to be the quintessential expert when it comes to running a club/restaurant so we look forward to learning all we can from him. But all in all, a great "no-holds barred" show for anyone going into ANY business. We have lots of great ideas but it sure would be helpful to get some input from John so we could "hit the ground running". If ever you find yourself in the Milwaukee area, it sure would be an honor to meet the master!
I rmanage cusomer service for a coomunity bank. My staff and i have gotten a lot of ideas from the show. Please watch the language. Want to use for entrepreneur training
This show is extremely informational for any restaurant and bar owner, and flat out entertaining. Jon Taffer is incredibly smart and he breaks down the common sense mistakes these owners are too stubborn to take control of. HUGE FAN
It's GREAT seeing my old buddy "Taff" in "his element of expertise"…transforming + helping establishments make a go of it. Taff grew up in and around "quality"…+ it's obvious he +
the well known designers, bartenders, + chefs he brings in for the resues KNOW THEIR
STUFF TOO!!!!!!! COOL, FUN SHOW….do we get to see the how last season's rescues are
doing a year later too????????? * Also….my wife + I love seeing John's wife Nicole!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait for the new season. I find this series to be very interesting although I have never owned a bar, and probably never will. Love the straightforward problem solving on the fly.
I love this show and can't get enough of it. But there is too many commercials on the spike network I would also like him to pay a surprise visit a year or so later to the bars and see how things are going.
I love this show. I could watch the Bar Rescue Marathon every weekend.
I've been to a Taffer presentation years ago. His information was amazing as I was starting out! This show should be required viewing for owners that don't want to spend money to update. Keep doing the same thing and expecting different results = idiocy.
Jon Taffer is the greatest man alive. Brian Hill is a close second.
Having pulled one bar out of the red, I absolutely adore this series. I worked in a bar that had 2 managers before me. They were spineless little boys who refused to stand up for what they thought was right. When i took over my bottom line quadrupled in the second month. Owners, let the people you hire to manage your business do their jobs! Sometimes we REALLY do know better and have your best interests in mind! Maybe if you stopped trying to micromanage, you'd never be in these predicaments.
I love this show! I have been in the biz for over 20 years and this is exactly what I would love to do! A lot of bars I have worked at always seem to grow stale, owners usually never worked their way up, just Sat in a bar and had the money to buy one. I find that when they ask for help they get upset that maybe the employee actually knows more than they do… I would love to be a part of your show, or come to my place of employment and see if you can turn it around!
I quit drinking in 1981, but still go in to a bar on occasion for a soft drink and some social interaction. But this program has taught me a lot about why I liked/disliked places that I did, and learning is learning. Definitely worth a look, this is a reality show I can enjoy.
I agree with you for sure….I also think episodes should be an hour long instead of half
This show is the best. It seems more realistic then some of the others. John and his wife know exactly what they are doing. The supporting cast of chef's and mixologists are fantastic. Can't wait for the new episodes.
This show is the bomb and I don't know if I would watch it if it wasn't for Johnny T. and all the experts he brings on. It's a lesson in management every episode. I'll be in for season 10 as long as it's around.
When is season 2 going to air?? What date I can't wait
I would like to get in touch with mr. Taft, I am reopening a bar that went under recently, it is located near Indpls, surrounded by all the motorsports industry, would love the opportunity to have him revamp this business, thanks, Indy
Our family LOVES Bar Rescue and John Taff…I spent years in retail management and Mr. Taff's idea translate to any customer oriented business. He does not back down and he knows his stuff and he also understands the human side (like the owner who lost his passion when his brother died). Can't wait until the new season starts!

My parents own Renucci's tavern located in Ionia Mi. the bar has been opened since 1918 and is very possible to be the oldest bar and michigan (not to mention the first place in town to have pizza). Also it has had the same name location and family since 1918 and has been through 3 generations soo to be 4. It used to be the hottest place in town and has not been able to keep up with the times. It would be perfect for the show. Please bring back our bar, Thanks.
John Taffers no nonsense approach is the main reason I watch this show.

Recent World Bank Data Reveal Worrying Trends in Transport
The World Bank's Public-Private Partnership Group and Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility report that total private participation in infrastructure (PPI) fell in the transportation sector in emerging markets by 39 percent to $33.2 billion in 2013, compared with 2012 levels.
In part, this reflects a broader trend – overall, PPI in all infrastructure sectors fell by 24 percent. The biggest drop was in South Asia, which saw PPI in transport fall from just over $20 billion in 2012 to approximately $3 billion in 2013, mostly because of significant decreases in India. Two other regions – Latin America & the Caribbean (LAC) and Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA) – also saw decreases. PPI in transport increased in East Asia and the Pacific (EAP) and Africa, but not by enough to offset decreases elsewhere.
2013 Transport PPIs by region
This is not good news for the world's poor. Transportation is a critical component of development and growth, enabling people to access schools, hospitals and markets. It facilitates labor mobility and ensures that raw materials and finished goods get to customers. In rural areas, transportation systems provide an economic and social connection with the rest of the country. Within cities, good urban transportation is often the only form of transportation available to the poor. It also improves the flow of goods and services, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and improves the overall quality of life.

When a Painting Moves… Something Must be Rotten at the MAPR
From the "everything is possible as long as it isn't painting" attitude of the '90s we have arrived at "everything is possible as long as it is painting." However, as art critics David Lillington and Benjamin Buchloh have outlined, we have returned to "a new classicism" that manifests itself in the return of easel painting and traditional values; and of which schools such as Leipzig, Dresden, and artists like Neo Rauch and Peter Doig are the clearest representatives. Maybe we should ask ourselves a basic question: what would Velazquez's artistic practice be like today?
As we find more and more artists using interdisciplinary approaches in making their work, it has become increasingly difficult to categorize their art as simply painting, photography and video and so we have resorted to using the term "image". It is this polysemic and de-constructive value of the image which has recently enabled a reformulation of the traditional pictorial techniques, materials, and genres, which, on the other hand, fitted very well in post-modern hybridization strategies.
Today our ability to access visual information is enormous as is our ability to disseminate it. If most information reaches us via television, Internet, I-phones, video consoles, Facebook, and other mass media, the way in which we manipulate and redistribute images should also be radically new. This sentiment has brought us to a place where the distinctions between the pictorial, the photographic, the performative, and the digital have blurred, generating a sort of "diffused pictorialism". This in turn dramatically affects how we look at historical images.
In order to reference this new reality we could give birth in a speculative as well as practical manner to the concept "techno-referentiality": a context where painting measures itself against its own history and myths while at the same time deploying interdisciplinary and digital approaches, and where the authenticity of an art work or the origins of the source material are irrelevant.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIzXWGcb3u0&w=500&h=405]
When does a painting cease to be a painting? How can we construct a painting that informs itself through the analogue and digital realms? Is a moving painting a perversion of painting? These are some of the questions that the exhibit When a painting moves…something must be rotten!… tries to tackle. The artists in the exhibition work in a formal, literal, or conceptual manner and play with the pictorial as "moving painting", reformulating such classical genres as still life, landscape, and portraiture.
Participating artists include Alexey Buldakov, Myritza Castillo, Raúl Cordero, Raphael DiLuzio, Chus García-Fraile, Ori Gersht, José Maçãs de Carvalho, Fabián Marcaccio, Enrique Marty, Krisdy Schindler, Sam Taylor-Wood, Mariana Vassileva and Tim White Sobieski.
The exhibition opens November 18th at the Musem of Art of Puerto Rico (MAPR).

Definition of 'Double Irish With A Dutch Sandwich'
A tax avoidance technique employed by certain large corporations, involving the use of a combination of Irish and Dutch subsidiary companies to shift profits to low or no tax jurisdictions. The double Irish with a Dutch sandwich technique involves sending profits first through one Irish company, then to a Dutch company and finally to a second Irish company headquartered in a tax haven. This technique has allowed certain corporations to dramatically reduce their overall corporate tax rates.
The double Irish with a Dutch sandwich technique is just one of a class of similar international tax avoidance schemes. Each involves arranging transactions between subsidiary companies to take advantage of the idiosyncrasies of varied national tax codes. These techniques are most prominently used by tech companies because these firms can easily shift large portions of profits to other countries by assigning intellectual property rights to subsidiaries abroad.

Definition Edit
Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing.[1] Halftone can also be used to refer specifically to the image that is produced by this process.[2]
Where continuous tone imagery (film photography, for example) contains an infinite range of colors or greys, the halftone process reduces visual reproductions to a binary image that is printed with only one color of ink. This binary reproduction relies on a basic optical illusion — that these tiny halftone dots are blended into smooth tones by the human eye.

Learn why Google™ Chrome Toolbar has disappeared
What are the reasons for the disappearance of Google Chrome Toolbar? What can be done to retrieve the toolbar? Google Chrome web browsers are one among the fastest browser available today. The Google Chrome browsers that are installed and running upon the user computers would cause some issues with the users. One among such issues is the toolbar missing problems. The toolbars are the components that are provided with the browser software for the purpose of accessing the various websites and other browser options easily. The toolbars that are available as built-in options along with the Google Chrome browsers and those that are installed by the user like Yahoo toolbars etc also causes issues with the users. The toolbars may disappear from the browser window due to various reasons. The issues with the browser software like presence of any problematic extensions or corruptions upon the software are the reasons for the disappearance issue. The disable of the toolbars by the user would be another cause for the issue. Discussed below are ways to resolve the issue when the Google Chrome toolbar disappears:
- Re-enable the toolbars
- Remove any extensions that are causing issues
- Reinstall the software
Re-enable the toolbarsThe toolbars that are disabled from the application should be re-enabled. The toolbars option would be present along with the settings option. For that the user should click on the wrench icon at the right hand side of the browser. Inside the settings option, the user can find the toolbar option and enable the particular toolbars by selecting them.
Remove any extensions that are causing issuesWhile installing the Google Chrome web browser on the system, some extensions also would get installed upon the browser software. Such extensions could be the cause for the disappearance issues. The user can disable or remove such extensions through the Google Chrome settings option. Click on wrench icon at the browser window and select the extensions option. Inside the window, installed extensions can be seen. Remove them one by one as a solution to the toolbar missing issue.
Reinstall the softwareThe toolbar missing issue with the Google Chrome web browser can be solved by reinstalling the software. The corrupted software should be removed.

See ya later, California!
I may be one of the few people that actually liked this movie. I don't usually go for the disaster type movies but this one caught my interest. The previews for it were spectacular. I couldn't wait to see Seattle get hit, then the Golden Gate bridge come tumbling down. I was not disappointed.
I have to admit that the plot to the movie didn't really hold my interest. However, the amazing visuals made the movie fun to watch. This was a great work of science fantasy. It was incredible to see what that kind of devastation might (and that is a big might) look like. It was a wild work of fantasy.
I really hope I see this movie again. Although the story line was lacking and boring in some places, the visual aspects of the movie more than make up for it. I liked it.

The Good Jobs Strategy: How the Smartest Companies Invest in Employees to Lower Costs and Boost Profits [Audiobook] by Zeynep Ton

Narrator: Tanya Eby | Genre: Nonfiction/Business
Almost one in four American working adults has a job that pays less than a living wage. Conventional wisdom says that's how the world has to work. Bad jobs with low wages, minimal benefits, little training, and chaotic schedules are the only way companies can keep costs down and prices low. If companies were to offer better jobs, customers would have to pay more or companies would have to make less.
But in The Good Jobs Strategy, Zeynep Ton, a professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, makes the compelling case that even in low-cost settings, leaving employees behind―with bad jobs―is a choice, not a necessity. Drawing on more than a decade of research, Ton shows how operational excellence enables companies to offer the lowest prices to customers while ensuring good jobs for their employees and superior results for their investors.
Ton describes the elements of the good jobs strategy in a variety of successful companies around the world, including Southwest Airlines, UPS, Toyota, Zappos, and In-N-Out Burger. She focuses on four model retailers―Costco, Mercadona, Trader Joe's, and QuikTrip―to demonstrate the good jobs strategy at work and reveals four choices that have transformed these companies' high investment in workers into lower costs, higher profits, and greater customer satisfaction.
Full of surprising, counterintuitive insights, the audiobook answers questions such as: How can offering fewer products increase customer satisfaction? Why would having more employees than you need reduce costs and boost profits? How can companies simultaneously standardize work and empower employees?
The Good Jobs Strategy outlines an invaluable blueprint for any organization that wants to pursue a sustainable competitive strategy in which everyone―employees, customers, and investors―wins.

Stand By Me singer Ben E King dies
Stand By Me singer Ben E King has died at the age of 76, his publicist said.
The US star first found fame with The Drifters before scoring a huge hit with the track that became his signature song.
Phil Brown said: "He passed away yesterday from natural causes."
Fellow singer Gary US Bonds paid tribute on Facebook, saying: "With an extremely heavy heart, I must say goodbye to one of the sweetest, gentlest and gifted souls that I have had the privilege of knowing and calling my friend for more than 50 years - Mr Ben E King.
"Speaking for myself, my family & my Roadhouse Rockers family, I can tell you that Ben E will be missed more than words can say. Our sincere condolences go out to Betty and the entire family.
"Thank you Ben E for your friendship and the wonderful legacy you leave behind."
Born Benjamin Earl Nelson in North Carolina, he moved to New York as a child and got involved in the burgeoning doo wop scene.
He scored hits including Save The Last Dance For Me and There Goes My Baby with The Drifters before quitting the group in 1960 to go solo.
His first two singles, Spanish Harlem and Stand By Me, were huge hits and more followed but Stand By Me only topped the UK charts in 1987 after it featured in an advert for Levis jeans.

Boulder is least frugal city in the United States (or locals are too cool to clip coupons)
When many people are asked for first impressions about Boulder, they think of weed, beautiful scenery, weed, a healthy lifestyle, weed, CU and weed, in that order. But frugality? Not so much -- and that's appropriate according to ShopAtHome.com, which specializes in printable coupons and online shopping. When judging all U.S. cities with populations of 100,000 or more based on coupon usage, Boulder finished dead last.
Linda Muniz, ShopAtHome.com's senior vice president, was especially surprised by the results, based on data from January 1 to July 31 of this year. After all, the service is based in Denver, just down the road from Boulder. "We've been a Colorado business for 25 years and we have 37 million customers right now," she points out. "But even though we're very well known nationally, we're not that well known in Colorado. We need to get the word out."
Hence, the time-tested list formula. Here's the roster of the most frugal cities by ShopAtHome.com's measurement:
10. San Antonio, TX 9. New York, NY 8. Phoenix, AZ 7. Dallas, TX 6. Miami, FL 5. Philadelphia, PA 4. Atlanta, GA 3. Los Angeles, CA 2. Chicago, IL 1. Houston, TX

Muniz says ShopAtHome.com saw some general regional themes in terms of coupons. For instance, people in the South tend to use them more often than do their northern counterparts, and suburbanites top those in urban locations. However, she stresses that the trend, celebrated by the TLC show Extreme Couponing, is growing everywhere. "We've seen a huge uptick in printable coupons and online savings over the last three years, which makes sense based on the economic condition of the country," she maintains. "Who doesn't want to save money?"
Well, maybe people in a certain Colorado city. Muniz laughs as she says, "I don't know if we can convert Boulder..."

"This is a simple dish, but it tastes delicious," says Sam Stern, who, at 22 years old, already has six cookbooks to his name. The latest, his Cookery Course for Students in the Kitchen, is crammed with tips and techniques to help beginner cooks turn simple dishes into show-stopping feasts. "I cook this whenever I've got people coming around, and I also like to use the salsa with loads of other dishes – try the rough version with roasts and griddled chicken, and stir the smooth version into an omelette."
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves two to three
15g (½oz) mint (leaves only)
15g (½oz) fresh coriander
½ tbsp small capers, drained and roughly chopped
5 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
Juice of ½ a lemon
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
3-4 lamb cutlets per person, whatever size you want (at room temperature)
A little olive oil
Sea salt and pepper
4-6 slices of bread (coarse-textured white or sourdough)
Make the salsa: wash and dry the mint leaves and coriander. For a rough salsa, chop the herbs pretty finely on a board with a sharp chef's knife. Place in a bowl with the chopped capers, anchovies, lemon juice, oil and mustard. For a smooth salsa, blitz in a food processor or hand-held blender.
Prep the cutlets: trim off any excess fat if necessary, and rub a few drops of oil into the meat with your fingers (or use a pastry brush). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a griddle pan until it's almost smoking hot. Slap the meat down and cook for two minutes without shifting. Flip. Repeat for two minutes to colour well and flavour. Turn each cutlet onto its fatty back with tongs and hold for a few seconds to brown. For well-done, give the meat another minute per side. Test to see it's done as you like it by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat for five seconds, avoiding the bone. Hold the skewer on your wrist – it will feel cold for rare, warm for medium and scalding for well-done. Rest it on a plate and sprinkle with sea salt.
Griddle the bread in the hot pan for 30 seconds per side, or until crisp and marked by the lamb juices.
Pile the cutlets and bread on a plate and let people grab. Serve the salsa in a bowl for dipping. Enjoy with tabbouleh or couscous salad, any griddled vegetables and mezze dips such as hummus, cucumber tzatziki, and yogurt mixed with crushed garlic.

These are the details for the profile Maltese neuroscience SME searching for distributors preferably in Europe for medical device that relaxes the minds of children with autism.
If you would like more information about the profile please click Request More
Information. You will be directed to a new page where you will need
to provide some information about yourself/your business cooperation needs and submit
your expression of interest in the profile . A Network Partner will then contact
you to discuss your interest in greater detail.
Maltese client seeks to expand its distribution/reseller base for innovative neuroscience home-use medical device that uses neurological feedback technology to relax the minds of children with autism, enabling them to focus better and positively engage with the world.
The client's product is a medical device paired with a software component. The worn device reads waves emitted by the brain. Through a WiFi connection, these waves are sent to the software which converts the waves into binural beats and sounds that are played back to the child via earphones. The sounds are tailor-made based on a patented algorithm and vary from session to session and user to user due to the brain's uniqueness. As delta brainwaves (brainwaves associated with deep sleep and closed eyes) are suppressed, the system relaxes the user's minds, giving rise to longer attention spans, improved communication skills and increased relaxation.
The Maltese Company is an SME set up in 2012 that researches, designs, develops and manufactures quality medical solutions. It is recognised as a leading European innovator in the neurosciences field due to its unique products, research collaborations and high level of regulatory and quality systems in place (FDA Registered, CE Certified, ISO 13485).
The client is dedicated primarily to research and production of medical technologies that provide patients with neurological conditions the chance to lead a better life.
Following success on the local and far-east markets, the client seeks to expand the distribution chain of its home-use medical device for children through distribution agreements with companies already engaged in the distribution/resale of medical devices preferably in Europe.
The medical device is a portable neurofeedback system for home use that does not necessitate the user to have to go to a hospital or clinic to receive this form of therapy assisted by a medical professional. Apart from the benefit of being able to apply neurotherapy in the comfort of their own homes and of being able to introduce it into their routine with far greater ease, it also means that the child need not wear a full electroencephalogram (EEG) cap (which many children on the autism spectrum dislike) but instead wear an ergonomic and hypoallergenic headband. Medical professionals can remote into the device's online platform check the child's progress online if authored by to do so by the child's parents/guardians.
Client is seeking distributors/resellers with experience and a proven track record in healthcare/medical and preferably life sciences and biotech. The partner will ideally have links to autism groups and organisations including parent groups; as well as neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists and related therapists.

Feed Your Crops the Extra Calcium, Magnesium, and Iron They Need If You Use a Non-Advanced Base Nutrient
Plants – just like all forms of life, including human beings – require a complete range of essential elements in order to thrive. Not one can be lacking, or your crops may suffer nutrient deficiencies. Of course, different concentrations of different nutrients are required by plants and animals at different stages of their lives.
Just like young, developing children need vitamins and minerals, your plants need a steady supply of calcium and magnesium to ensure vigorous, healthy growth. But even expert growers often overlook another crucial element for high-value crops: specific forms of iron in precise ratios.
If you're using our base nutrients, your crops are already getting the correct amounts of Ca, Mg, and Fe. But if you're using our competitors' base nutrients, your crops could suffer from stunted growth or yellowing leaves. In that case, use Sensi Cal-Mag Xtra – the nutrient supplement formulated with the ratios of Ca, Mg, and Fe your crops need.
Hydroponics: Use 2 mL per Liter to correct deficiencies. Repeat after 1 week, if necessary.
Foliar Spray: Use 2 mL per Liter. Repeat after 1 week, if necessary.
As Part Of A Regular Feeding Program: Use 2 mL per Liter. Repeat after 1 week, if necess

The Terre D'Ange Cycle by Jacqueline Carey (of which Kushiel's Scion is Book 1 of the second trilogy) is one of my all time favorite series. The read along continues! Everyone is welcome to join in. Here is the SCHEDULE for the read along.
This week, I am your host. We're covering the Chapters 45-52, so be prepared for spoilers below!
1) Imriel spends a night on the island of Asclepius. Do you agree with Imriel that his nature is to be cruel? Do you think of Imriel as a stunted tree reaching for the light?
I think he's looking at one aspect of his life and seeing it accentuated above his other traits. He has the capacity to be cruel, yes, but he is usually striving to balance it out. So, no, I don't see him as a stunted tree reaching for the light – I see him as a tree basking in the little light he has been given and making it count.
2) Imriel makes a good go of breaking things off with Claudia. However, throughout this section we have seen how the spark between them is not yet doused. What do you think of Imriel's lingering desires? Is Claudia telling the truth about her own desires?
I doubt the spark between them only resides in Imriel. So, yes, I do believe Claudia has a desire for Imriel. After all, D'Angelines are known for their prowess and attention to detail in bed. My guess is that she may have had one or two other excellent lovers in her life, and even then, Imriel is probably the best of them all. As for Imriel… well, she's the only woman he has bedded in Tiberium, so she is familiar. And she's always up for it. He doesn't have to romance her. Quite frankly, it's easy to attain sex. Now, I do believe that their coupling in Luca after Gilot's death was for comfort.
With that said, I think Claudia is well aware that if she can entice Imriel back to the Guild, or even somehow trap him into being beholden to the Guild, it would be a feather in her cap and would help her rise in the Guild ranks.
3) Imriel reveals his full identity to Lucius and he learns of the legend of the Bella Donna, based on his own mother. Clever, intentional legend building by Melisande, or a fanciful story that built up over time or was borrowed from another legend?
I think this was Melisande that started it. She probably borrowed the basis from some legend and built some of her specifics (like her looks) into it. I bet this made it easier for her to escape. If folks believe that her child was stolen, they would be more likely to assist her. Also, building that legend and now having young ladies pray to the Bella Donna might be useful for something even today. It's definitely awkward for Imriel.
This reminded me on the La Llorona legend here in the Southwest US. A woman in white who lost her children wanders the river's edge weeping. Some legends say she drowned them and her ghost is doomed to haunt the river for eternity. Some say she lost her children to a flood.
4) All is not well at the city of Luca. Helena has been kidnapped. The ghosts of the dead walk among the living. Lucius is possessed by his warlord ancestor Gallus Thaddeus. What do you think of this harsh man/ghost?
Gallus definitely harkens back to an older time, doesn't he? He's a harsh, harsh man but he might just be what Luca needs right now to get through this. On one hand, he's got everyone on food rations right away, he puts every able bodied person to work (nobles on night patrol, women with bows) no matter their station or what is considered proper.
But then there's the other side – like when he was ready to forcibly marry Helena to first deny her 'husband' his legal rights to the city and then simply to cuckold the man. Ugh! So glad that so many were willing to go against him on that one, even if they had to be sneaky and hide behind rules to do it.
5) When Imri and crew return to the Thaddeus Villa with the injured Gilot, Imriel ponders the wonder of women. 'The courage of women is different than the courage of men.' Do you agree?
No. It's situational. Brigitta and Eamonn both come from 'warrior' cultures where women are expected to be competent with at least one weapon if not three. So I think Brigitta's courage is much like Eamonn's (though he's been in at least one battle before so he has a little more experience).
However, in most if not all of Caerdicca Unitas, the roles of women are very different than the roles of men. They aren't expected to handle weapons, to go to battle. They are expected to be at home, tending to the household, perhaps helping a little with a home business, have babies, and be beautiful and charming at dinner parties. So, for most Caerdicca Unitas women, yes, their courage is different from that of their male counterparts.
6) With the city under siege, an older mystery pops up with the arrival of Canis. Why do you think Imriel held his tongue and only told Eamonn?
I know Imriel is more comfortable being straight with people, but I think he is learning that you don't have to lie to conceal a truth – you just have to shut up sometimes and not blurt things out. So, I think he finally learned that (thanks to Claudia and her handiwork at the theater) and he wants to know more about Canis in general and specifically why he so obviously followed him to Luca and then dared the army to break into a town under siege.
Other Tidbts:
I'm glad Eamonn and Brigitta appear to be a couple for now. Like two sleeping hunting cats, I think that's how Imri described them as they slept on a sofa.
Claudia's insulting Phedre was childish and peevish. I think she totally underestimates Phedre and what she would do if her son Imri went missing or turned up dead, or even badly maimed.
Caerdicci Unitas as a whole doesn't seem very homosexual friendly and I am glad that Carey built this aspect into the storyline. Ignoring it would be unrealistic. Instead, by building it in and showing both the cultural aspect and how that affects individuals, it really humanizes the situation.
Even though I knew it was coming, I still sniffled over Gilot's death. It was so hard on Imri and he has to survive this siege and tell Gilot's girlfriend and kid, and then tell it to Montreve's household and Phedre and Joscelin. It was very nice that Imriel had him model for the painter before they headed off to Luca.

Hey everyone!
I am looking for a unified wireless network for our campus. I am looking at a variety of controllers and was wondering what you all use and how it is working out. Here is what I am looking for:
Central management
Fast Roming/seamless handoff for voWi-Fi
load balancing
Multi-VLAN and SSID support
can manage 10+ APs
is cost effective
I've been looking at Netgear's new WC7520 controller, which looks very promising. It's price tag is a little steep (~$4000... if you can find someone that actually sells it).
I've also been looking at the 3com/HP WX3008. It's looks fairly promising as well. It seems to be about a 1/3 the price of the netgear, but I can't really find any reviews/opinions on it.
Any input would be great...

Cisco's solution can do what you are looking for. But the price tag is going to be steep as well. I worked on a 2500+ AP deployment last year on 7 campus and over 100 bulidings where the Cisco product was deployed. It is rock solid in its stability and performance.
Aug 11, 2010 at 3:01 UTC
Thanks, but Cisco is just going to be way too expensive. We are looking for about 10-12 APs and about 50 user (maximum).
Aug 12, 2010 at 3:30 UTC
We are using LANCOM (German company, formerly ELSA).
WLC-4006 is able to manage up to 12 APs. This is the smallest Controller.
Aug 12, 2010 at 9:52 UTC
@Jose Franco The 3com listed is discontinued. I'm not too sure about zyxel stuff. We had some vendor put in a zyxel cpe and it died after 2 years (seems like a waste of money). Now, that was my only experience with them, so maybe it was just a fluke... I don't know.
@bytesnake That looks pretty interesting. They have an offer where you get a free controller if you buy 10 APs. That could be very useful... I'm gonna look into it more. How is it working for you?
Aug 12, 2010 at 10:07 UTC
We just finished with implementing this. We set up 2 networks, one hidden with encryption for our internal users and the other with the "Public Spot" option for our guests. Had today a guest, he logged in with his iPhone and phoned over WLAN (Skype) with cell roaming during he walked in our building. Worked great.
Sidenote: Our APs supports 2.4/5GHz a/b/g/n at the same time (L-322agn dual Wireless)
I love it.
PS: SW will detect it as managed APs :)
Aug 13, 2010 at 3:48 UTC
I've been looking into the Lancom option... it's kinda hard to find. Because they don't have any partners or distributors in the US, I can't really find it anywhere. I've been looking at various resellers in europe, but it comes out fairly expensive (mostly because we have to pay VAT). I'll continue to look, but it might be hard to sell to the higher-ups... because there is no US based support. Thanks again, though.
Aug 14, 2010 at 8:55 UTC
I`m so sorry. Didn`t notice this yet.
Good luck.
Aug 16, 2010 at 3:01 UTC
Since I have posted my question, I have found another vendor, Extreme Networks. They have a line called the Summit (Summit 3400) which I think will work out pretty good. It will only manage 6 APs, but I can get it for $980. That combined with the fact that I still can't find the new Netgear products, makes me want to just order one.
Has anyone used the WM3400 by Extreme Networks. Has anyone used Extreme Networks at all? Are they reliable? They seems pretty enterprise-based, so I am assuming their products are solid, but my assumptions may be wrong.
Nov 29, 2010 at 11:20 UTC
Just as an update:
I went with the Netgear WC7520 with their WNDAP350 APs. So far it is working OK. I've had a few issues with it, but I got Netgear to give me their latest bata firmware releases and that has seemed to fix alot of the issues. We still have problems here and there, but it works well for the most part.

Front or Rear
- Place a jack or stand beneath the door to support its weight.
Place a rag between the lower edge of the door and jack or stand to prevent damage to painted surface.
- Remove door without hinge.
- Remove the door hinge.
- Installation is the reverse order of removal.
When installing hinge, coat the hinge link with recommended multipurpose grease.
Front or Rear
Proper door alignment can be obtained by adjusting the door hinge and door lock striker. The door hinge and striker can be moved up and down fore and aft in enlarged holes by loosening the attaching bolts.
The door should be adjusted for an even and parallel fit for the door opening and surrounding body panels.

Seriously, I'm rather upset about this Borders news. Yeah, they were mismanaged for years. Their website was a disaster (and kind of still is), and letting Amazon be their online retailer for years? I think just about anyone could have told you that that was a bad idea. But Borders, by being the "other" chain, has played a very important role in the publishing ecosystem. While Barnes & Noble has had a larger share of sales for years, and therefore has exerted more control over what gets published, Borders was always an excellent counterbalance. When publishers had a hard time getting B&N to order a book in the quantity they desired, they could hope that enthusiasm from Borders might make B&N reconsider. They could go back to B&N and say, "Are you sure you're not missing something? Borders is taking a lot more than you!" Granted, it didn't always work. Sometimes it took Borders actually selling a book for B&N to get behind it. As an editor put it to me today about a particular book, "They got the ball rolling." Whether through their Original Voices Award or their Books You'll Love program, when they supported a book, they made things happen. And when the copies are flying out of one retailer, other retailers pay attention. And not just B&N, but the big box stores and the indies, too. You really can't underestimate just how much that kind of broad, national, enthusiastic support can affect things.
I know that I'm taking this news particularly hard because Borders has supported a couple of my authors in really big ways. While I know both would have been successful without Borders, I don't think they would have been as successful as quickly. Borders's taste (I know it seems odd to think of a chain having taste, but hear me out) was always just a bit different, a little bit less obvious, maybe. They could often see the commercial side of the not-so-commercial books, and in being the underdog, I think they paid particular attention to books that others might have been overlooking.
It's terrible to be losing 200 of their stores, and even more terrible to think that it's quite possible they won't pull out of this mess ever. I'm sad that great booksellers will be losing their jobs and that some nice retail locations here in SoCal will close—the Pasadena store was pretty great. I'm sad to think the bookstore that I frequented most often in high school might no longer exist. And I'm sad for the authors who won't get championed by a company that truly believed in books.

Insurgents routinely videotape their attacks and sometimes post the footage on the Internet as propaganda to show tactical victories against U.S. military convoys or helicopters.
A briefing report prepared by the intelligence division of the Army's Training and Doctrine Command shows how the Army is mining the insurgent tapes for ways to avoid casualties.
"Insurgent videos have grown complex and sophisticated, with detailed graphics, English subtitles, English narrators, Jihadist 'humor,' and insults directed at the coalition to weaken (coalition forces') resolve and popular support," the report says. The document warns U.S. soldiers that "any non-media or not-CF (coalition forces) personnel with a camera should be considered suspicious."
The briefing is presented in the form of PowerPoint slides that have also been shown to soldiers already deployed in Iraq. It offers insights into insurgent tactics with the help of videos and photos taken by the insurgents themselves.
One shows an incident Aug. 10 when an Army supply truck passed a homemade road sign that concealed a bomb. In one image, the tractor-trailer is completely obscured by the fiery blast. The briefing warns that some roadside bombs are "victim activated," meaning that the motion of a passing vehicle sets off the explosive.
The overall thrust of the report is to show Army officers how and where Americans are dying in Iraq. The information in the report was current up to last month.
The briefing report says 55% of U.S. military deaths in Iraq are attributed to improvised explosive devices, the military's term for roadside bombs, and small-arms attacks. It says 59% of U.S. military deaths occurred in Baghdad and Sunni-dominated Anbar province, which runs from just west of Baghdad to the Syrian border.
Designed to help soldiers know what to expect and how to counter insurgent tactics, the briefing also warns that Iranian-backed Shiite militants as well as Iraqi Sunnis and foreign Sunni fighters are regularly mounting attacks.
Maj. Mark VanHout of the Training and Doctrine Command, based at Fort Monroe, Va., confirmed the authenticity of the report, which is unclassified but not released publicly.
Training commanders had asked for the report to give officers "a statistical analysis of what enemy tactics, techniques and procedures kill most soldiers," according to Gary Phillips, a threats specialist at the command's intelligence branch at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Phillips, a retired Army colonel who travels to military bases around the country preparing officers for duty in Iraq, says the roadside bombs are the most worrisome threat.
"They continue to move forward in how they're emplaced, how they're configured and how they're used," Phillips says.
His son, Army Capt. Dustin Phillips, deploys to Iraq in late February to train Iraqi police. "I told him this weekend, the issue is, don't let complacency set in. Don't think everything's copacetic. There is no safe spot."
The briefing characterizes insurgents as difficult to find, let alone defeat, and able to change their tactics as the U.S. military changed its own. Adjustments have included more powerful roadside bombs as the number of armored U.S. military vehicles has increased, the use of secondary bombs to kill those responding to initial roadside bombing attacks, and coordinated daylight raids.
The threat of small-arms fire, often directed at military checkpoints and convoys, "comes from all ages and sexes," according to the briefing, and usually originates from homes, vehicles or crowds that allow quick escape. The insurgents have also emulated the U.S. military's preference for "stand-off" style attacks in which the enemy can be hit without exposing the attacker, it says.

EDITORIAL: Farming the future
The farming industry in Atlantic Canada is at a tipping point.
Apathy is boring.
It also poses a danger to democracy and our cherished rights and freedoms. There is a growing concern about weakening voter participation, and although there is a solution, it's a controversial one.
With the ink hardly dry on reporting last week's federal Conservative leadership convention, other ink was being laid down.
