The Obama administration is assigning a veteran U.S. prosecutor to begin a criminal probe of CIA questioning of terror suspects during the Bush administration, it was announced Monday. The White House also confirmed it is creating a new terror suspects interrogation unit that it will directly supervise. The developments came on the same day a 2004 report from the CIA inspector general was released revealing interrogation techniques like threatening the suspects' families.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the inspector general's report provides "conclusive evidence" that interrogators overstepped the legal boundaries in place and that their techniques of "torturing detainees in U.S. custody did not make us safer."
"The conduct that is documented in this report illustrates the perils of the dark road of excusing torture down which the Bush administration took this nation," he said. "I also believe it underscores why we need to move forward with a Commission of Inquiry, a nonpartisan review of exactly what happened in these areas, so that we can find out what happened and why. Who justified these policies? What was the role of the Bush White House? How can we make sure it never happens again? Information coming out in dribs and drabs will never paint the full picture."
Though he would ultimately like to see a nonpartisan commission formed to examine the interrogations, Leahy said in a separate statement that Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to investigate the issue should bring a measure of accountability to the American people.
"I am grateful that the Justice Department is finally being led by an independent Attorney General who is willing to begin investigating this dark chapter in our country's history," he said. "I had no doubt that he would put the interests of the law ahead of politics, and he has demonstrated that."
Similarly House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) praised today's news but called for an independent, bipartisan commission to evaluate the broader issues raised by the Bush administration's "brutal torture program."
"Today's release -- even of these still heavily redacted materials -- is thus an important step toward restoring the rule of law in this country, and rebuilding our credibility around the world," he said. "But much more remains to be done. The gruesome acts described in today's report did not happen in a vacuum. It would not be fair or just for frontline personnel to be held accountable while the policymakers and lawyers escape scrutiny after creating and approving conditions where such abuses were all but inevitable to occur."
However, Republicans took an opposite view of the administration's actions. Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that creating a task force of interrogation specialists could be worthwhile but runs the risk of becoming politicized. He said it represented a lack of faith in the intelligence community.
"What does the White House have against Leon Panetta?" asked Bond. "This bizarre move is a vote of no confidence in not only the terror-fighters who have kept us safe since 9-11 but their very own CIA Director."
Bond also called the White House's supervision terrorist interrogations a power grab.
"Chrysler and Citigroup apparently weren't enough," he said. "Now the White House is taking over the CIA and how we interrogate Usama bin Laden. Even the Democrats' favorite boogeyman Dick Cheney did not take over terrorist interrogations."
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, suggested in a statement that the Bush White House, in fact, should have intervened -- and that the CIA inspector general was the only official during the Bush administration to conduct serious oversight of the interrogation program.
"The Inspector General's report raised serious concerns about the program, and I believe this is one of the reasons that CIA leadership later attempted to undermine his independence," he said. "When the Administration withholds information from Congress, the Office of the Inspector General is the only entity providing objective oversight of sensitive intelligence programs, and that is why it is vital that the independence of the Inspector General be guarded."
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, issued a statement saying that an increased focus on America's past counterterrorism efforts will distract from current efforts.
"At the same time the situation in Afghanistan is getting decidedly worse and the Taliban is advancing, the Obama Justice Department is launching an investigation that risks disrupting CIA counterterrorism initiatives," he said. "This is the last thing that should happen when the president is sending more troops into harm's way, and the nation's top military officer, Admiral Mike Mullen, said over the weekend that al-Qaeda still remains a threat to America and our interests abroad."
Hoekstra's statement echoed arguments made by nine Republican senators who sent a letter to Holder last week, asking him to refrain from starting an investigation.
"The country would be better served if the Justice Department refocuses its priorities and allocates its resources to pressing matters — such as prosecuting the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks — instead of contemplating legal action against the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting this country," they wrote.
In an e-mail sent to his agency today, CIA Director Leon Panetta said he would stand up for the officers who followed the legal guidance they were given.

21c Learning - Student & Parent Engagement
Through digital publishing and sharing
Sharing student work increases accountability and student engagement as well as parent engagement. Imagine parents seeing a few posts a week of their child's work published! Students can be proud of their work and talk about their work, like the old school 'show and tell' but unlike the audience of show and tell, only the students in the classroom, the audience of a tackk post is far reaching to all those involved in the learning community.

- "I'm ashamed to admit that one of the causes of our mutual problem appears to have been the loose tongue of a man I used to trust."
- ― Colonel Cortez
Treacherous Swine is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by retired army colonel Juan Cortez from his yacht docked in Ocean Bay Marina in Ocean Beach, Vice City.
After receiving a phone call from Cortez for a job, Tommy meets Cortez at his yacht. Cortez tells Tommy that Gonzalez, a man who Cortez has trusted for years, has now become incompetent and owes things to Cortez. He orders Tommy to kill Gonzalez and gives him a chainsaw, telling him that he will be rewarded.
Tommy goes to Gonzalez' apartment in Vice Point where Gonzalez is being protected by two members of Diaz' men. Once in the penthouse, Gonzales spots Tommy and attempts to flee. Tommy quickly chases Gonzales down and kills him, alarming the police in the process. Tommy drives to the nearest Pay 'n' Spray to remove his wanted level.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and kill Gonzalez
- Get into a vehicle
- Get to the Pay 'n' Spray in Vice Point
- Gonzalez- Killed for being involved in the drug deal in the beginning of the game and for betraying Colonel Cortez.
The reward for completing this mission is $ 250 and the mission Mall Shootout is unlocked.
- The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Summer Madness" by Kool & the Gang. The song is also featured on the in-game radio station Fever 105 and is heard in Vice City's first trailer.
- Gonzales's penthouse later is taken by Alex Shrub, as seen in the mission Martha's Mug Shot.
- Even though Cortez gives Tommy a chainsaw, it is unadvised to use this against Gonzalez while he is escaping the hotel, as Tommy moves very slowly while carrying it. The player can change the weapons and use the Fist, run a little faster to Gonzalez' back, and kill him with the chainsaw, or doing a run-over.
- This is the first mission in the game, that the player receives a two-star wanted level. Like in every GTA III era game, the first time the player uses the Pay'n'Spray in a mission, it will be free.
- Hidden Package on the Northeast corner of the roof can be obtained without a helicopter in the moment before the cutaway when Gonzales runs to the street and makes returning to the roof possible only by aircraft. Change first at the first cutaway to fist or brass knuckles to speed to the package in time.
- Gonzalez' bodyguards have the same design of Ricardo Diaz' bodyguards.

From the Inside Flap
Sir John Templeton is universally acknowledged as one of the most successful money managers of the twentieth century, best known for his trailblazing approach as a global equity investor, fearlessly hunting for stock market bargains in places where few professionals had ventured before. While much has been written about this giant of the investment world, Templeton's Way with Money: Strategies and Philosophy of a Legendary Investor offers a fresh and independent analysis of the man and his methods, exploring his personal history and explaining in layman's language why his insights are still so relevant today.
An inspiration for thousands of investors, Templeton is a member of a small professional elite, money managers who attain the ultimate goal of stock market investmentconsistently above average returns with below average risk. Drawing from an extensive selection of sources (many of them published here for the first time), investment experts Jonathan Davis and Alasdair Nairn take a new and unbiased look at the long career of a true master of the game, one who excelled both as investment counsel and manager of a mutual fund that broke all records for its sustained and consistent market outperformance over a period of nearly four decades. This timely book sifts through some of the myths surrounding Templeton's career to demonstrate, using personal interviews and original analytical research, why Templeton's methods worked, why they are so often misunderstood, and what investors must do to take advantage of his key ideas and insights.
Part biography, part investment advice, Templeton's Way with Money skillfully dissects Templeton's life, career, investment philosophy, and the track record of his first mutual fund, and sketches out the opportunities open to investors for following in his footsteps. The authors conclude by using Templeton's methods to offer a compelling analysis of the threats and opportunities facing investors as they seek to make more informed investment decisions in today's troubled financial environment.

Welcome, my black-hearted novitiate. You have laid aside the pure and innocent desire to fall in love and seek instead, like Delilah, Lady MacBeth, and thousands of other scarlet women before you, to wreak havoc on the hearts of men. Maybe one--or many-- of those insects have spurned you. Maybe you have a pernicious rival (the "Heroine") who keeps blocking your shot and you wish to see her destroyed. Maybe you have just always loved sifting souls like wheat... whatever your reasons for coming, prepare for the most glorious power, the most electric thrill you will ever experience. Prepare to don the cloak of a Villainess.
Take a second to channel the evil powers of your most horrible high school frenemy, and that girl on the Bachelor who throws herself like a ho into the most perfectly laid plans of the Heroine. If your love of the Jane Austen books has finally driven you mad, choose now to meditate on Lucy Steele, Jane Fairfax, and Caroline Bingley. Let them instruct you in the beautiful art of ruining everyone else's dating lives.
The commandments of evil:
|You can almost hear my evil cackle.
- Wear the same dress that the heroine just bought, but yours is two sizes smaller, tighter, and shorter.
- Never have any friends of your same gender (unless they are your minions and you send them out to spread malicious rumors).
-Every boy must take you out somewhere fancy at least 8 times before you let him know it's not going to work out (That is, IF you let him know!).
- Have at least 8 boys cycling through this process at all times.
- Complain at length about how taxing all these dates every week are to your roommate who hasn't been asked out in 8 months.
- Upon hearing that someone has had a successful DTR, seduce the male into making out with you. Leave him a confused muddle of guilt and ecstasy.
- Never, ever call back.
- Never, ever text back. Except if you notice he has been texting someone else. Then bring your texting A-game!!!!!
- Go out with someone once, inform him suddenly that you're just not feeling it, and make everything AWKWARD!!! EVERY TIME YOU SEE HIM!!! TIL HE MOVES AWAY!!!
- Three words: skimpy. profile. photo.
- Date roommates or best friends at the same time. Get them to duel for you.
- WORSHIP Katy Perry and T. Swift outwardly, but take notes from Miley and Rhianna secretly.
- Passive aggression. Employ it in every conversation that don't follow your master plan.
- What's the feminine equivalent of the humblebrag? Oh yea. The complimentfish.
- If you truly find yourself desperate to be in a relationship, ask out a target and act like he is totally and utterly uninteresting on the date, thus securing his affection. When he comes around again, be completely unwilling to admit your initial interest or return his. Blame ALL weirdness entirely on him. After all, he should have liked you first. He should have realized what he could have had. He must pay for not having played a perfect game.
- Remember: you are better off without them.
- Go after the EQP because of all his POWER!
-Dump the sweet EQP and immediately start dating the ward meathead. When asked, assiduously argue that, "He really is nice when you get to know him!"
- There are white, grey, and black ways of making out. Perfect all the moves in the latter two.
|It's just so cute when they cry!
- Testimonies can double as personal advertisements. Be uber-charming up there. Flip your hair.
- Reveal your beau's very personal secrets to the whole Relief Society!
- Say I love you. Dump him two days later. Take him back. Then do it again! Remember what Bain said: "There can be no true despair without hope."
- Throw a wrench in your current relationship and go make out with someone else. Inform the second party several weeks later that you're kinda sorta almost engaged to someone in Utah/New York/DC 2nd.
- When the heroine tells you her Prince Charming finally asked her out, give him a backscratch in church. And your phone number.
- Dump someone at the altar (worth 1,000 Villainess points). 100 extra points if you keep the ring.
- If you do successfully ensnare a poor unsuspecting hunk of manliness into marital servitude, fill people's facebook walls with your wedding pictures for MONTHS. Then only publish pictures of your life looking perfect, so as to help others set wildly extravagant expectations for happiness in marriage.
- Also adopt that annoying habit of all newlyweds and shill out unsolicited dating advice!
Any others I might add? I have actually witnessed every single one of these tactics before, except the altar dumping. Happy Valentine's Day, all you empowered Villainesses! I love you.

"All branches of military art are closely associated with one another: Tactics make the steps from which an Operational leap is formed; Strategy points out the path."To get what you want from a war, you need to know exactly what you want and how to get it (including whether a war is a good/the best way to get what you want in the first place!) But many people aren't well-informed about how it all works out.
— Aleksandr Svechin, Strategy and Operational Art (1927)
- Grand-Strategic - level at which War, Economics, Diplomacy, and Politics overlap and the ends of any potential wars are decided. Grand Strategy encompasses all wars and strategies a state is involved in, and the mobilisation of all resources of a state for the creation and maintenance of military forcesnote . This is a level at which there are lots of meetings with loads of politicans, civil servants, senior military figures, and diplomats. There are oodles of graphs and statistics, and the maps are world and continental ones.
- Strategic - level at which goals/"means" (to "ends" dictated by Grand Strategy) are determined and military forces are committed and supplied to carry them out. Still has a little to do with economics, diplomacy and politics — but only within the context of the war and its goals. note This is a level at which there are regular meetings between senior military figures (and some civilians and/or foreigners) with some statistics and regional (and some provincial) maps, perhaps with a big arrow or two on them.
- Operation/Campaign - level at which a goal of the war is singled out and made the focus of a plan of action to be undertaken by a military force with the units assigned to it by the higher-ups. This plan is enacted in an 'Operation' or 'Campaign' of limited duration in which the forces manoeuvre and engage the enemy, often with the aim of encircling parts of their force and destroying these or forcing their surrender - weakening the enemy force for subsequent operations/campaigns and thereby making it easier to (eventually) achieve the Strategic Goalnote This is a level at which there are loads of meetings of medium-level commanders with buckets of statistics and schedules and regional+provincial+local maps with some little red arrows on them.
- Tactical - level at which military units fight enemy ones in various skirmishes/firefights/engagements/battles in accordance with an Operational/Campaign plan, making best use of the personnel and equipment allocated to them under the plannote . This is a level at which low-level commanders exchange messages or meet handfuls of others in hastily-prepared bunkers to pore over a schedule, a provincial map with a big red arrow, and a fistful of local maps marked with the occasional scribble here and there.
- Strategy is the goal you want to achieve in the long-term; the "What" you want to accomplish.
- Tactics is the methods used to try to achieve short-term goals that are supposed to help achieve the overall strategical goal; the "How" you use to accomplish it.

Anime & Manga
- In Dragon Ball Z, Goku is a master fighter and one of the best. He succeeds by overcoming his limits and learning about his enemies on the fly during combat. However, several times he needs help from people like Kami, King Kai, and Vegeta when it comes to figuring out about bringing back the dead, defeating enemies that are stronger than him, and returning things to normal after everything is all said and done. In fact, at one point, Goku's goal was to have Gohan go SSJ 2 and defeat Cell, but he didn't take in consideration Gohan's mental limits or the effect it would have on his son. Picolo calls him out on it. This action almost doomed the planet and got Goku killed when Gohan berserked and started toying with Cell. They got better as time went on... well, besides in GT where Goku gets worse.
- Code Geass has the tactician versus strategist conflict at its very core. The Magnificent Bastard Lelouch is plotting the downfall of Britannia, but is frequently foiled at individual engagements by the ace pilot, Suzaku. Lelouch mentions the conflict by name during his first internal meltdown, expressing anger that the ace pilot made him lose the battle and thus made him delay the next steps of his larger strategy. Note that Suzaku himself is no great tactician, he's simply so skilled a warrior (and his mech so powerful) that his presence at a battle upsets considerations of mere tactics.
- As the author of Ravages Of Time said himself, the manhua is all about strategy vs. strategy. Plans are often years, if not decades, in the making, with the levels I Know You Know I Know going into the dozens because each faction has genius-level strategists.
- By the strategy-tactics divide explained above, Taichi Yagami is a tactician, while his rival turned evil, Neo Saiba, is a strategist. Taichi is much better at discerning immediate strengths and weaknesses as well as coming up with quick plans to diffuse the immediate situation while Neo is better at long term planning and backup plans. In the larger V-Tamer 01 conflict, Lord HolyAngemon is the strategist while Leo is the tactician. They can successfully beat stronger monsters in engagements through superior tactics but are ultimately losing the war with Demon because he doesn't have as many vulnerable areas to protect(that is, Lord HolyAngemon actually cares about the future stability of the continent, Demon hates the very concept of future stability and wants perpetual war to spread to as many areas as possible.
Comic Books
- Nightwing is a masterful tactician, but not much for long term planning or politics. In the DC Universe, he's considered THE Leader archetype, when it comes to uniting any heroic army (no matter how large). This is often contrasted with Superman, who is very politically savvy and diplomatic, but is more comfortable inspiring than commanding. In the end, Nightwing really looks up to Superman—following his example more than Batman's—and Superman often steps aside to let Nightwing take command when needed.
- Robb Stark in A Song of Ice and Fire is a brilliant tactician who is able to score sound victories against overwhelming Lannister forces. However, his strategic decisions are not nearly as good, and several characters comment that it is probably due to his youth (neatly deconstructing the Young Conqueror trope). On the other hand, Robb's nemesis Tywin Lannister concentrates on keeping Robb from winning a decisive battle, and despite losing battles he is constantly strengthening his family's position by creating alliances and thus placing himself in a better position to win the entire war. Sure enough, some of Robb's disgruntled followers leave him in a weakened position, and some others reach out to Tywin, and that's the end of Robb Stark.
- At Mindouas in the first volume of the Belisarius Series, the title character is rebuked for putting tactics before strategy in fighting a successful but seemingly needless battle with the Persians. In reality the reason was that he needed to gain an armistice as quickly as possible because a new enemy was looming on the horizon.
- Belisarius' strategy was was a complex one of encouraging insurgency in his enemies' home empire and using the navy of his Axumite allies to strike on his enemies' flanks. His favorite tactics were to get to a key position before his enemy and bait him into attacking while he had a counterattack waiting on the flank. This worked many times either because the enemy commander absolutely had to attack, or because the enemy commander was Too Dumb to Live.
- David Weber is well-known for including (usually very detailed) strategy and tactics in his novels. The Honorverse Companion House Of Steel includes an essay co-written by Weber and US Naval Analyst Christopher Weuve on building a military which goes into great detail about everything mentioned in this trope's description.
- Over the course of the New Jedi Order, New Republic (later Galactic Alliance) fleets relied heavily on both superior strategy and superior tactics wherever possible, countering the invaders' immense numbers and fanatical devotion.
- On the Alliance side, the "old school" generals such as Garm bel Iblis and Wedge Antilles, having started their careers in La Résistance, were masterful tacticians but relatively lackluster strategists; newer generals like Traest Kre'fey were less effective tacticians but had the eye for strategy that would eventually bring the war to an end. (Admiral Ackbar, being The Strategist who eventually put the Alliance on top during the war's difficult fourth year, was an exception to this trend.)
- On the Vong side, Tsavong Lah had a brilliant strategy for bringing the Republic to its knees, but his limited tactical skills meant that it was immensely expensive in terms of men and materiel (and he was eventually Out-Gambitted by the Alliance), whereas his successor Nas Choka was less of a visionary strategist, but a much better tactician who countered many of the developments that had let the Republic win up to that point.
- This was a running theme through the Legends canon; the various opponents of the Republic (Mandalorians, Vong, the various incarnations of the Sith Empire) would be better at tactics, and on an individual level, be better in combat than their Republic/Jedi counterpart. However, they tended to fight for the sake of fighting, which made their concept of strategy and logistics incredibly primitive compared to the Republic who wasn't as good at tactics, but was set up for a long-view, strategic approach. If the opponent struck hard and fast, they had a chance of crippling the Republic, but if the Republic got some breathing room and time to plan, then the enemy would end up on the wrong end of everything the Republic could throw at them and be overrun.
- Also from Star Wars Legends, Grand Admiral Thrawn succeeds in putting the New Republic nearly on the ropes despite being at a resource disadvantage because he is a master of both small-scale tactics and large-scale strategy, and unlike many other Legends villains, he doesn't forget the grand scale in favor of small victories, making him a very difficult opponent.
- The human Alethi and Parshendi in The Stormlight Archive solidly contrast each other in this regard. The physically stronger Parshendi have difficulty beating the more regimented and tight Alethi Spearmen in the field. At the same time, the refusal of the Alethi high princes to work together means there's little strategic plan to trap and destroy the Parshendi armies.
- One of the reasons why the immortal badass Corwin from The Chronicles of Amber is such a big fanboy of his older brother Benedict, is because he considers Benedict a true master of both strategy and tactics, which is why, when he's not in self-exile, Benedict is the unquestioned commander of the armed forces of a family that likes to think of themselves as gods.
- In 1632, Mike Stearns' strength as a general isn't tactics, but logistics. The supply system he builds and his foresight in asking for specialized items allows his division to march faster, fight more effectively and operate in worse conditions than any other in the region.
- In the Starfire novels, there are two types of drives: military drives, which are very powerful and take up a small hull volume but must be periodically shut down for maintenance, and commercial drives, which are bulkier and slower but have far more endurance. Most warships accept no substitutes for military drives; however, the Bugs use commercial drives for their fleets, making their ships less capable and survivable but allowing them to more easily gather and deploy the crushingly huge attritional fleets they favor.
- Battle School training in Ender's Game is supposed to turn a student into a brilliant strategist, yet practically every exercise they do is aimed to spaceship-like maneuvers in a zero-G environment. Logically this should train the student into a superb tactician/pilot, but it tells nothing of the strategic/operational scale of things. No logistics are involved into keeping a fleet battleworthy over light-years. No diplomacy or espionage, which are impossible in-universe anyway since the enemy is a telepathic Hive Mind.
Live-Action TV
- This can often be seen in competetive Reality Shows. If you focus on tactics and try to survive each round at any cost, you might sabotage your chances in the finals. On the other hand, being strategic and focusing too much on the endgame could keep you from getting there in the first place.
- In Survivor, Russell Hantz exemplifies the "too tactical" side. He did anything he could to backstab his tribemates and make it to the finals in two separate seasons, but one he was there he had to face juries of evicted players that hated him and would never vote for him to win.
Pro Wrestling
- In Professional Wrestling, the tag team of Pretty Boy Doug Somers and "Playboy" Buddy Rose are versed in different fields. In more than one promo, Rose claimed that they were unbeatable in part because he was a master of strategy and Somers was a master tactician.
Tabletop Games
- This concept has a special meaning in the context of wargaming. It means "how big of a scenario does your game represent" and has a number of aspects including the number of forces a counter represents (usually bigger in a strategic game) and the details accounted for (usually there is more detail in a tactical game).
- in the BattleTech universe, Khan Lincoln Osis of Clan Smoke Jaguar was noted as being an excellent tactician but poor strategist. This meant that when the Inner Sphere got together to take out a Clan, their ability to focus on the big picture and plan for winning over a large series of engagements instead of simply planning for the next battle meant that the Jaguars were unable to match the Inner Sphere and became the first faction in the game that was completely wiped out, as Osis had neglected the Jaguars' infrastructure to the point that they simply couldn't fight a large-scale war at all.
Video Games
- A general example: in many multiplayer games with an objective more complex than wiping out the opposing team, players frequently get caught up in repeatedly killing the enemy without regard for whether this serves the actual objective of the current game round.
- A particularly notable example is League of Legends thanks to its incredibly developed Professional Gaming scene. The best teams in the game aren't always determined by the individual skill of their players at the game's mechanics, but rather by the team's ability to capitalise on opportunities to take objectives and stay one step ahead of their opponents, a skill often known as "map rotation". A lot of upset victories have come from a team with far less kills than their opponents simply running rings around them on the map, and a good shot-caller is even more valuable than a good mechanical player.
- In Dead Space, specifically, Dead Space 2, Nolan Stross comes up with a good long-term goal and got Isaac back on track by telling him necessary details. However, he only ever talks about destroying the Marker and fails tactical thinking when he fails to get it together and fight back due to the Marker driving him slowly insane and letting his guilt consume him. If it wasn't for Isaac's and Ellie's tactical thinking, the plan would have failed miserably.
- Pick an RTS game, any RTS game. You have general goals (objectives and missions) which you have solid tactics to win.
- The difference between "Macro" and "Micro" with Macro being Strategy, focused on advancing the tech tree, building bigger armies, more resource collection and building an army that counters the enemy while Micro consists of micro-managing your army to gain an advantage in individual battles. The best examples of each being Command and Conquer, a heavily macro and spam-and-counter based game and the X-craft series, with an Arbitrary Headcount Limit and much simpler damage typing rewards simply picking the "Counters everything somewhat" unit and dancing around with them.
- In Dragon Age: Origins, Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir and Arl Eamon Guerrin are the tactician and the strategist, respectively. Loghain is an excellent general in the field, but his abrasive personality and tendency to treat the nobility as if they were soldiers makes him come off as a tyrant and leaves him with few allies where it matters most, and the country is fragmented in the face of the Blight. Eamon, in contrast, is well-spoken, courteous, and diplomatic, but nothing is spoken of his skill as a general. The Warden's quests for him in Denerim before the Landsmeet are focused on acquiring political support for Alistair's campaign for the throne, and Eamon is mainly concerned with ending the civil war as quickly as possible to deal with the Blight, which demonstrates his ability to see the big picture.
- Colonel Mael Radec in Killzone is regarded as a gifted tactical genius, yet a "merely competent" strategist.
Web Comics
- In Erfworld, Stanley the Tool is a genius when it comes to battle. He is an expert fighting and rose from the rank of piker to Overlord of his side. However, he is not a strategist and, though he had success in the short-term, he failed to have a grand strategy and he was very close to being killed by his enemies. That is until Parson was summoned.
Web Original
- In the cartooning competition Strip Search, Amy originally tried applying some basic reality-show tactics, but the stress of the competition started getting to her after a surprise ruling by the judges. Tavis helped console her and pointed out that trying to win could be getting in the way of some of the real benefits of the show; the opportunity for the artists to hone their craft and make professional contacts with one another. She took the advice to heart and changed her strategy to simply being as good a artist as possible.
Western Animation
- Avatar: The Last Airbender:
- Sokka is The Strategist, while Zuko is the tactician. Sokka is heavily organised and is able to come up with detailed and effective strategies, while Zuko's plans generally involve him infiltrating a location alone or with a partner, then sneaking past or fighting through any resistance until he reaches the objective.
- Princess Azula representing a near perfect mix of the two is one of the big reasons she's so dangerous. She's willing to sacrifice battles for a greater end goal (Strategist), but also able to play a mean game of Xanatos Speed Chess decision-making when needed (Tactician). Her perfectly orchestrated, nearly single-handed coup of Ba Sing Se in the Book 2 finale showed off her skill in balancing the two out.
- Just as in his Star Wars Legends incarnation, in Star Wars Rebels Grand Admiral Thrawn focuses on the strategic as much or more than the tactical.
Real Life
- In The Punic Wars, Hannibal was an amazing tactician who defeated Roman armies with ease and slaughtered their forces. The Romans were unable to compete with his brilliance, but they didn't give up. You see, Hannibal had sacrificed his siege equipment to avoid a large battle. Without them, Hannibal was unable to breach the thick walls of major Roman cities. The Romans simply began a war of attrition and cut off Carthage's supply lines to Hannibal using sea vessels that Hannibal could not counter (the last Punic war ended with an agreement that said Carthage had to give up its fleet). Hannibal rushed to his country's aid, but was defeated at the Battle of Zama. He is now one of the best examples when discussing the importance of strategic thinking used in conjunction with tactical thinking.
- Another factor that made the Carthaginians lose is that they counted on Rome's allies to defect after suffering so many defeats. Rome's policy of extending citizenship to (the elites of) their allies and refraining from demanding tribute made their allies very loyal and thus Hannibal didn't find many friends during his 15-year long pillaging of Italy. In general, while Rome could be very brutal, its willingness to grant outsiders political rights was a long-term strategy that made their empire possible.
- In The American Revolution the British could usually win engagements by their greater tactical skill. However the Americans figured out that they could win strategically just by continuing to exist until the British got tired of it.
- The Battle of Valcour Island is seen as a tactical defeat but a great strategic victory for the Americans. The fleet assembled by Benedict Arnold for the fight was destroyed without inflicting much damage on the British fleet, but just by fighting the battle Arnold delayed the British advance until late enough in the year that snow was beginning to fall. The British decided not to continue that year, which gave the Americans time to regroup for the Saratoga campaign and may have saved the entire war.
- The British had done it to the Americans the previous year when the Americans under Montgomery had advanced up Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River in order to reach Montreal and then march on to Quebec City. Although the American campaign succeeded in reaching the walls of Quebec, defeating and capturing all the fortified positions along the way, their victory at Fort Saint-Jean, which took a siege of 45 days, meant they arrived at Quebec in December instead of mid-October, and with only 15% of the force they started out with. The eventual attack on Quebec failed.
- The idea of Thermopylae was to delay the Persian army's advance into Greece for as long as possible, until the city states could raise their own levies, but because the battle only lasted 3 days, it was a strategic defeat for the Greeks who had intended to hold out for longer. However, an unintended consequence of the early loss was that the Greek fleet retreated from the simultaneous sea battle of Artemisium instead of fighting to the death (because their strategy depended on holding both points). This led to the Persian fleet growing overconfident, overextending themselves, and suffering a devastating defeat against the surviving Greek fleet at the Battle of Salamis weeks later. This ultimately cost the Persians the war by forcing their fleet to withdraw to Persia and destroying their army's supply lines, effectively showing just how well long-term planning and war go together (i.e. not at all).
- In their war with Sparta, the Thebans showed a mastery of both strategy and tactics. At the Battle of Leuctra, they overweighted one side of their phalanx to collapse the Spartan host. Their strategy however was to remain in Spartan territory long enough for the Helots to run away. With most city-states, the agricultural economy couldn't be destroyed by raiding simply because destroying crops is even harder then farming them. But the Spartans' agriculture, based on slave Helots kept in line by the other citizens, could be ruined simply by taking the workers away.
- In World War II the opening stages sometimes seem like a series of opportunistic attacks and desperate reactions called strategy after the fact, or not as the case may be. To some degree this is true; it is harder to develop strategy then it sounds, and the combatants were feeling each other out. As it developed the main German strategy seems to have been to expand their territory eastward. Britain's strategy was to survive and annoy Germany. Russia's was to wear Germany out by attrition until it could start attacking and roll over her (once nicknamed "the steamroller"), allowing Germany the initiative until the middle of the war. When America entered, the main strategy of the Allies was to concentrate on Germany (the "Europe First" grand strategy); as Germany and Japan were too far away to effectively help each othernote , all the Allies could get a chunk of Germany; and Germany had more resources, which meant if they ended up only able to subjugate one, they could afford to think about Japan later, but not vice-versa.
- Because countries can seldom change their geographical position and usually don't want to change their culture (at least not too much), this often means that both strategy and tactics will take on recognizable similarities through several wars. Especially strategy as tactics is affected more acutely by technology changes. However tactics is also effected by environment; for instance a mountain country will want more snipers whether they use old time Pushtun jezails(a local specialty type of musket with a long barrel) or modern sniper rifles and a flat desert country will want more cavalry-type for mobility, shock, and pursuit whether mounted on horses and camels, or driving tanks.
- Germany, which is a valley country with a well organized system of cities and cultivated land, as well as (usually) the largest population in Europe outside of Russia, concentrated from the nineteenth century onward on the strategy of winning enough victories to scare any enemy into making a favorable peace. This worked as long as they had an enemy like themselves who was willing to make peace, which in turn assumed German leadership willing to demand no more than a tolerable adjustment of political hegemony (I.E. someone like Otto von Bismarck or Wilhelm I). It did not work with Adolf Hitler who in Eastern Europe wanted his foes to become a Slave Race and was often fighting in unfavorable terrain (the Soviets made peace offers in 1941 along the lines of the Treaty of Brest Litovsk, but Hitler rejected all of them because he wanted nothing but total annihilation for the USSR). In effect German strategy was the same as its tactics, or rather the same as its operations. However its tactics and operations were extremely well developed and when used by a leader with common sense against a state like an Habsburgs, who were beset on multiple sides and more concerned about a peace that would maintain them as as the resident Feudal Overlord of Austria than about fighting for total victory.
- British strategy from the days of Elizabeth I to World War II was truly imperial in concept depending on the navy for both defense and offense as well as using money as a weapon and habitually thinking of the whole world as a battlefield. They would often buy time in Europe and shore up allies there while using the navy to cut off their enemies (usually France and often Spain, later Germany, Italy, and to a lesser extent Vichy France) from their overseas empires which they seized as Plunder using them after the war to build their own empire, or to bargain with at the Peace Conference. Britain also had numerous contacts, allies, and vassals all over the world, which it used as a source of resources(sometimes including troops) and military officers, diplomats, spies, and bureaucrats trained in colonial politics who could translate their skills reasonably well(a classic example of this was Wellington himself). Once its enemy had reached a certain point a killing blow would be struck. British tactics were generally reasonable but not dazzling, often little more than a Rocky Balboa style "hit each other until somebody falls". As their personnel were usually tough and well disciplined this was often sufficient, especially as they were often used for picking off outposts and only made the killing blow at the later stages. For this to work British troops had to be hardy, and able to adapt to a wide variety of environments, but did not need the large and highly specialized armies typical of Continental Europe nearly as much as they were able to intervene or refuse to intervene in Europe as they thought best(World War I was a partial exception; most of the British army was in Europe from the beginning but the British still played the game of overseas warfare as shown in the movie Lawrence of Arabia). In a way Britain is a curious example of an empire that habitually uses Hit And Run Strategy against other empires on a global scale, but is fairly straightforward tactically.
- The Byzantine Empire habitually refused battle, knowing they had only so many soldiers, and instead raided their enemy's foraging parties, used their castles(including Constantinople) to take shelter in, and bought off the clients of invading princes with their large supply of money and fabled skill at conspiracy. Byzantine tactics were fairly sophisticated for the era depending on a part-professional, part-feudal army that still retained Roman traditions. It involved heavy use of technology and a scientific study of war, both of which were uncommon at the time though less rare than many think. On land they were famous for their cataphract, heavy Horse Archer / lancer cavalry. At sea they were famous for their "Greek Fire" Naphtha grenades and flame throwers.
- A classic example is Russia, a nation which spans half the globe. Due to its enormous landmass, invaders need to be incredibly well-stocked as they push deeper and deeper into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Russians simply withdraw ahead of advancing invaders, destroying any infrastructure that will be useful to the oncoming armies, waiting for them to become weak and vulnerable to counterattack, especially during the brutal winters. While it worked flawlessly against Napoleon, this strategy only half-worked against the Wehrmacht. Unable to simply surrender the Ukraine, the Baltic states, or Leningrad due to their new industrial and supply importance, millions of Russian troops were killed or forced to surrender. Though Operation Barbarossa failed to decisively defeat the Russians in a single campaign, the Germans remained in control of much of Western Russia for the next two years. During the Cold War, Russian strategy shifted to having satellite states in Eastern Europe that were well-armed and would take the blows any invader from the West would send. Russian tactics could be very mixed. They are often stereotyped as We Have Reserves, but while Russia has seldom been shy about using this, they have tended to be more sophisticated then all that. They have often had armies of extremely mixed quality, some being quite crude tactically and led by incompetent officers, and others as good as the best any other country can field. However though they had weaknesses they had strengths including a large supply of manpower that grew up in harsh conditions. The flip side is that, despite the enormous landmass, the majority of the population is concentrated in the western, or European, area of the country, and they are not as easy to move as armies. In both The Napoleonic Wars and World War II Russia was forced to resort to guerilla warfare on a large scale while building up it's forces, and the enemies long supply lines made them very vulnerable to partisans. Russia also had a large supply of cavalry dating from the steppe warfare traditions, and while it was very weak at sea it's navy has a strong heritage of riverine and coastwise combined operations with the Army which was noticeable in the Turkish wars and in World War II. The tactics of the Red Army in World War II could be odd by Western European standards, but they were often very ingenious making clever use of nature and elaborate deception operations. By the last stages of the war they had enough tanks to engage in blitzkriegs in the German style and while these weren't usually carried out with the German smoothness they had their own touches like support from aforesaid guerillas and fresh-water vessels and a large supply of horse cavalry which they maintained long after the other allies had phased it out.
- When not in periods of isolationism, the United States has been protected by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, making strikes on the mainland logistically difficult. The only times in its history that it's been under a full-scale invasion since independence were the War of 1812, where the British invaded using their Canadian and Caribbean colonies as bases (an advantage literally nobody else who has ever seriously threatened the security of the United States has ever had), and its own Civil War. However these barriers also mean that foreign engagements mean sending forces tremendous distances. This has resulted in the US military focusing heavily on logistics, the ability to get things where they need to be. A great example being the famous "Left Hook" during the 1991 Gulf War, where the Iraqis were led to expect a massed amphibious operation in Kuwait, only to be met by a land invasion from Saudi Arabia. The "carrier strike group" is the ultimate expression of this mindset. An American supercarrier with an escort consisting of a cruisers, destroyers, and submarines can bring the military power of the United States to almost anywhere in the world, able to defend the position while raining down missiles and deploying an extensive airforce. Combined with a tremendous economy and a vast pool if technological resources this has made the United States the world's defacto superpower. Ironically the biggest problem the US has faced recently is guerrilla forces that drag out conflicts by avoiding direct confrontation, exactly the strategy that won the United States its independence.
- An example of a tactical victory and a strategic loss is the Battle of the Glorious First of June, between the British and the French in 1794. The French harvest in 1793 had been bad, and the French government feared a popular uprising because of it. To avert this, in the spring of 1794, they bought over a hundred shiploads of grain from the United States, and sent a fleet of warships to escort the convoy of grain ships. Of course, the French couldn't buy such a large amount of grain without the British hearing about it. So the Admiralty sent the Channel Fleet under Lord Howe to intercept the convoy. The cheerful French Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse, commanding the French escorts, after a few preliminary brushes with the British fleet, joined battle with Howe on June 1st (13 Prairial in the French Revolutionary calendar). Howe won a great victory, taking or sinking seven French ships and damaging 13 more, with none of his ships taken or sunk. HOWEVER, the grain convoy, which was the centerpiece of the whole affair, made it into Brest, losing only one ship, and that to bad weather. The French people were fed, the government was saved and Howe screwed the pooch. Howe was given the Order of the Garter, more for propaganda reasons than anything else, and his retirement from active command was accepted. (Admittedly, he was 68.)
- Much like Britain, Japan is an island nation that is dependent on foreign trade. Unlike Britain, it did not even have enough resources to help kickstart its economy when it moved to industrialization. One of the main reasons for its empire building in the early half of the 20th Century was to help make Japan less dependent on foreign trade. Tactically, Japan was one of the first nations to fully demonstrate the capability of aircraft carriers. Even then, Japan still failed to appreciate their importance since they pretty much threw strategic planning out of the window. Admiral Yamamoto used his carriers as support ships for his battleships rather than as the lead offensive weapon, as the Americans were forced to do after Pearl Harbor. He and the Imperial Staff envisioned that the final decisive battle would employ the mighty Yamato. Then came Midway, and the Japanese offensive was crushed.
- The difference between tactical and strategic nuclear weapons is thus: unlike the former, the latter are never meant to be launched. Tactical nuclear weapons are designed to annihilate concentrations of enemy forces or hardened military installations in the context of Ground-Air-Sea Operations, aiding other forces in accomplishing strategic goals. Strategic nuclear weapons are designed to accomplish strategic goals by themselves, in destroying hardened military installations and igniting firestorms to destroy enemy cities. Both can give politicians significant leverage in diplomatic negotiations — and where they are paired with "Second Strike Capability" (retaliation), they can deter wars with other nuclear powers due to Mutually Assured Destruction.
- As time has gone on, however, it has become more and more clear that the concept of tactical nuclear weapons is fundamentally flawed; all nuclear weapons are strategic because the decision to use nuclear weapons is made at the level of grand strategy, and by extremely senior political leaders rather than anyone who would be managing a battle.
- Of course, the USA didn't come around to this view until the 1980s Cold War. The United States maintained a tactical First Strike policy against Warsaw PACT (WP) conventional forces in the early-mid Cold War, and in the late Cold War decided to only execute a tactical First Strike when it began losing to WP conventional forces. The USA maintained that using nuclear weapons against WP conventional forces and WP cities (Warsaw, Prague, Lwow, etc) through which supplies and reinforcements would travel constituted "tactical" use. However, they were wrong because tactical First Strike use of Nuclear Weapons will almost always lead to (tactical) Second Strike at the very least. At this point no study has ever seriously suggested that the party to execute the First Strike, will refrain from executing a Third. Or the party of the Second, a Fourth. And so on and so forth until there's basically no difference between these "limited" exchanges and a "full" nuclear war.
- Just as importantly, nuclear weapons have the effect of limiting the strategic options and flexibility of a nation in possession of them. This is due to the fact that a nuclear state has to be very careful with its strategic choices to avoid escalation, regardless of whether or not the other state or non-state actor has them. Some would contend it's actually more troublesome if the other party doesn't have any as they can simply be stubborn, intractable, and frustrating enough to outlast the nuclear state's attempts at winning. The know full well that if the nuclear state uses even one nuclear weapon, they instantly lose the moral argument and look as irresponsible as they do untrustworthy.
- As time has gone on, however, it has become more and more clear that the concept of tactical nuclear weapons is fundamentally flawed; all nuclear weapons are strategic because the decision to use nuclear weapons is made at the level of grand strategy, and by extremely senior political leaders rather than anyone who would be managing a battle.
- The American Civil War saw a conflict between a master strategist and a master tactician when Ulysses S. Grant fought Robert E. Lee. Lee was by far the superior tactician, and would typically come out on top of any one engagement. Grant, however, had a clearer view of the big picture, and understood that every battle they fought left Lee's position more and more untenable: the South, with its smaller pool of manpower and lack of developed industry, could only afford to bleed for so long, while the North, with its giant population and burgeoning industrial economy, could pour men and money into the war effort for a lot longer so long as the political will remained to pursue the war. So long as the Union could achieve a banner victory in the field every now and then to shore up popular support for Lincoln and the Republicans, Grant could focus on simply wearing Lee down. As a result Lee won most of the battles, but Grant ultimately won the war (Case in point: the Overland campaign was a series of battles over the course of a month and a half. Most battles were inconclusive or Confederate victories; at the end of the campaign, the Confederates had retreated almost a hundred miles). (That said, Lee was aware enough of grand strategy to know that political will was the North's key weakness: his invasions of the North and willingness to continue engaging Grant and his commanders despite heavy losses were informed by the knowledge that the more depressing news the Northern public got from the front, the more likely it was that Lincoln would be voted out of office and replaced by a peace candidate who would come to terms with the Confederacy; this almost worked, but when W. T. Sherman conquered Atlanta in early September 1864, the Union had exactly the kind of banner victory needed to boost morale—and thus Lincoln and continued war—all the way to Election Day in November.)

It besides may showing whether you've been sued, inactive or have filed for failure beside in the ultimate 10 years. Companies called user news agencies (cra) or gratitude bureaus collect and go your acknowledgment tale to businesses all complete the planetary.

Whenever you apply for any nature of approval or financing, a respect buzz is force from at lowest possible one of the iii starring thanks bureaus. You want a sterile approval report to be force. While nearby are hundreds of lesser acknowledgment bureaus on all sides the country, virtually every approval authority is related to beside any Experian, Trans Union, or Equifax.
Getting Your Clean Credit Report
If you've been denied credit, insurance, or employment because of subject matter supplied by a credit coverage agency, the FCRA says the business you applied to essential supply you the agency's name, address, and receiver amount. If you introduction the agency for a facsimile of your report inside 60 years of unloading a speech act notice, the buzz is disentangled. In addition, you're appropriate to one absolve duplication of your tittle-tattle a yr.
If you merely poverty a carbon copy of your report, nickname respectively gratitude federal agency catalogued since more than one administrative body may have a wallet on you, whatsoever with not like data.

Correcting Errors For Clean Credit.
To screen all your rights below the law and to hold on to your acknowledgment mop interaction both the CRA and the reports businessperson.
First to get swab approval reports, inform the thanks television journalism government agency in characters what message you acknowledge is away. Include copies (please hang on to your originals) of documents that backing your defences. In decoration to providing your full moniker and address, your missive should patently identify all component part in your word you dispute, articulate the facts and recap why you quarrel the information, and petition omission or improvement. Always hold copies of your disagreement notification.
They essential reinvestigate the items in question, usually inside 30 days, unless they categorize your difference of opinion featherbrained. They too essential frontal all relevant collection you deal in active the battle to the info bourgeois. After the news supplier receives mind of a bad blood from the CRA, it must investigate, appraisal all useful figures provided by the CRA, and written document the results to the CRA. If the records provider finds the disputed substance to be inaccurate, it essential inform all wide CRAs so they can exact this numbers in your file. Disputed records that cannot be substantiated essential be deleted from your file, next you will have a scrubbed recognition report, near that part removed.
If your tale contains inaccurate information, the CRA must precise it(clean acknowledgment).

If your profile shows an portrayal that belongs solely to another person, the CRA must take away it.
When the reinvestigation is complete, they essential tender you the in writing results and a clear duplicate of your spick-and-span acknowledgment report, if the grudge grades in a transmission. If an component is changed or removed, they cannot put the disputed information pay for in your wallet unless the hearsay bourgeois verifies its care and unity.
Also, if you request, they must convey notices of sanitized acknowledgment tale local department to someone who prescriptive your buzz in the once six months. Job applicants can have a aplanatic duplicate of their cleanable commendation gossip conveyed to anyone who normative a written account during the knightly two age for employment purposes. If a reinvestigation does not resoluteness your dispute, ask the CRA to contain your declaration of the grudge in your record and in rising reports.
Second, in codicil to words to the thanks agency, speak about the creditor or otherwise rumour provider in inscription that you dispute an point. Again, see copies (please not originals) of documents that stake your lines. Many providers demand an computer address for disputes. If the bourgeois consequently reports the portion to any appreciation television journalism angency, it essential involve a sight of your quarrel. In addition, if you are letter-perfect that is, if the controversial intelligence is not correct the substance supplier may not use it again, frankincense you will have a spruce respect papers.
When gloomy figures in your report is accurate, single the path of case can secure its cut. Accurate pessimistic info can unanimously human activity on your chitchat for 7 old age.
Clean Credit: There are trustworthy exceptions:
Bankruptcy information may be reported for 10 eld.
Information around reprobate convictions may be reported short any juncture restriction.
Credit data reported in reply to an standing for a job next to a gross of more than $75,000 has no juncture time limit.

Credit gen reported because of an candidature for more than $150,000 deserving of credit or existence guarantee has no juncture restrain.
Adding sanitary approval accounts to your file:
Your respect data file may not copy all your launder credit accounts. Although most national department stores and general dune respect paper accounts will be built-in in your file, not all creditors hand over information: Some travel, entertainment, petrol card companies, area retailers, and appreciation unions are among those creditors that don't report cleanable gratitude.
If you've been told you were denied sponge down approval because of an depleted credit report or no appreciation data file and you have accounts next to creditors that don't happen in your commendation file, ask the CRA to add this hearsay to coming reports. This will oblige get you on the road to a sanitized credit written document. Although they are not obligatory to do so, oodles CRAs will add verifiable accounts for a fee. You should, however, think through that if these creditors do not chitchat to the CRA on a symmetrical basis, these extra items will not be updated in your file.

Main attractions
Nauru is a raised dolomitic limestone atoll. Most of its surface contained a rock rich with phosphatic fertilizers – and the island has experienced mining operations of grand scale, changing the landscape and environment.
Island is not rich with landmarks. One of most interesting ones is Moqua Caves (Makwa Cave) in Yaren. In this cave is also Moqua Well – an underground lake (0.2 ha) – an important source of freshwater.
At the island, 30 m below the sea level is another cave, named simply – The Cave. This is beloved dive site.
Island is rich also with interesting, up to 20 m tall limestone pinnacles – typical karst feature.
Little known and unexplored are the burial caves of Nauru. One possible example of such caves is Ewa Cave in the north-west of the island, where human bones still can be found. Some burial caves most likely have been lost due to the phosphate mining in the central part of the island.

Tolleshunt D'Arcy Cup
Witham Town got the defence of their Tolleshunt D'Arcy Cup title off to a winning start as goals by Rob Whitnell and Shamir Mullins gave a 2-0 win against Burnham Ramblers.
Witham are the holders and they fielded a mixed team for many reasons, but it was a dull first half with very little goalmouth action.
However, Danny Sambridge, the Witham keeper, did have to make a good save just before half-time to keep it goalless at the break.
The game did liven up in the second half, though, and Witham took the lead in the 50th minute when Whitnell scored with a low shot after some good build-up play.
Ramblers keeper Lukecos Joseph saved well from Danny Emmanuel as Witham stayed on top for most of the second half, but they couldn't add to their score until the 86th minute.
Mullins beat Joseph to a throughball and lobbed the ball in from the edge of the area to make sure Witham advanced into the next round.
Witham: Danny Sambridge, Stuart Gardner, Derrick Lefty, Bradley Stopher, Bunga Hamilton, Dan Buglioni, Danny Emmanuel, Sam Taylor, Rob Whitnell, Shamir Mullins, Danny Lopez. Subs used: James Stevens. Subs not used: Scott Pethers, Richard Manning, Paul White, Jason Baker. Man-of-the-match: Shamir Mullins.

I'm much more curious how these three compare after the season is completed.
Dunno who'll be the best over the long run, but I don't understand any views that feel Lee shouldn't be in the conversation or is only doing better now because he's older.
After his USHL year, of course he was gonna be more ready for NCAA hockey than the other two. That should have been a given, so nothing is decided yet.
When all is said and done though, Lee will likely be a bigger physical beast than either Bjugstad or Nelson. That alone will give him a pro advantage in several respects. Dunno if his skillset is on par with the other two. Team USA has thus far felt that not to be the case.

I am available here at Bray Garda Station to help the mum and dad of this baby girl and if they would contact me or Sergeant Sorcha Fitzpatrick here at Bray Garda Station we will deal with any contact with us discreetly and sensitively."
