FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Once a rising star among the U.S. Army's top battle commanders, Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair is now fighting sexual assault charges that could land him life in a military prison if convicted.
The officer, who was the deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne, appeared Tuesday in a Fort Bragg courtroom to face court martial on criminal charges that include physically forcing a female captain under his command to perform oral sex.
While denying that accusation, lawyers for the married father of two have said he carried on a three-year extramarital affair with the junior officer during war tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The admission of an affair will almost certainly end his Army career.
Brig. Gen. Sinclair, 51, has pleaded not guilty to eight criminal charges including forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders, and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
His lawyers argue the sex was consensual, text messages show the woman pursued the general, and she fabricated the assault claims to avoid being prosecuted for adultery.
They also contend the chief prosecutor's abrupt resignation last month, after he tried to persuade commanders to drop the most serious charges, is evidence senior officers may have illegally sought to influence the case.
Believed to be the most senior member of the U.S. military ever to face trial for sexual assault, the Sinclair case comes as the Pentagon is grappling with a troubling string of revelations involving rape and sexual misconduct in the ranks.
In pretrial hearings, prosecutors have painted Brig. Gen. Sinclair as a sexual predator who abused his position of authority to prey on a subordinate trained to follow his orders. They also say he threatened to kill her and her family if she told anyone of their relationship.
Brig. Gen. Sinclair's lawyers suggest it is their client who is the victim, both of a jealous ex-lover and overzealous prosecutors facing intense pressure from top military and political leaders to send a message sexual misconduct will not be tolerated.
The chief prosecutor, Lieutenant Colonel William Helixon, quit after telling another military lawyer he could not proceed with the case unless the most serious charges were dropped. That came after he raised concerns about the veracity of recent testimony by the general's former lover — the only accuser on the most serious charges — which he felt would make those allegations very difficult to prove.
The new Army prosecutor concedes the accuser's testimony at a January hearing did seem to conflict with forensic evidence, but he said prosecutors do not question her story about being forced to perform oral sex.
"We're in a remarkable place," Richard Scheff, Brig. Gen. Sinclair's lead lawyer, said this week.
"The chief witness lied under oath. The lead prosecutor resigned because he found her untruthful and non-credible. The Army's senior leaders agree with his assessment and yet we're going to trial."
Prosecutors have declined to comment about the case outside court proceedings.
It is extremely rare for such a high-ranking military officer to face a jury. Under the military justice system, members of the panel must be senior in rank to the accused, ensuring Brig. Gen. Sinclair will be judged by a jury of generals.

Need a little motivation to study? Here are some reasons why learning a language is beneficial.
Brains of bilingual have better executive function
What does this mean? The brain of bilinguals performs better on certain tasks that require planning and problem solving. This happens because the bilingual is forced to change languages constantly; this constant change requires the brain to pay greater attention to its surroundings, making it more efficient over time.
For more details: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22464592
Monolingual develop Alzheimer's signs earlier than bilingual does. Being bilingual can delay up to 5 years the development of the disease. That is, learning a new language is more effective against Alzheimer's that most of the available remedies.
For more details: http://www.neurology.org/content/75/19/1726
Changes your view of the world
Bilinguals have a different view of the world, literally. In the study below, it was shown that bilinguals perceive colors differently depending on the language they speak.
For more details: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=7961273&fileId=S1366728909990046
Improves memory
One more benefit to the brain, children raised as bilingual have better memories than monolinguals.
For more details: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002209651200166X
Improves job prospects
Research has shown that bilinguals in the same function as monolingual earn more. And the international expansion of companies makes people who speak more than one language more attractive to the job market.
Tourism and open-mindedness
In addition to facilitating communication in travel, speaking another language opens your mind to new things. Humans of course get uncomfortable when they are in a different environment and experience new things. However, people who speak more than one language are naturally more receptive to what is different.
In short: speaking more than one language improves your mental health, making your mind sharper. It improves the prospects for a good job and salary, and open your mind to the world! Do you need more reasons to learn a new language?

Car won from casino still undelivered
Woman claims she was taxed $134,000 for Aston Martin she never got
Don Bauder 3 p.m., Nov. 23
"A setback is the setup for your comeback," shouts Chaplain Marks to the congregation of 30-plus in the North Island chapel that has served American sailors since December 1945. Knowing that many congregants are miles from home, Marks dwells on Saint Peter's words that "for a little while you may have to suffer through various trials." Marks then explains how he tried to get out of a trial of his own, his second deployment with the Marines to Iraq. He says he pulled every string he could think of to avoid the duty. But finally, he says, he had to acquiesce in God's will. After church, in the chaplain offices across the street, Marks tells me that the Navy first assigned him in May 2002 to the United States Marine Corps, Seventh Engineer Support Battalion. He deployed with them to Iraq the following March and was there for the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. "We went all over Iraq, wherever there was a need for construction or engineering. We supported the ground troops." He did the same kind of work during his second tour in 2004, but this time he worked with Combat Service Support Battalion One. "We did the same things, building stuff and retrieving downed vehicles."
Did Iraqi insurgents, I ask, ever attack your battalions?
"Every day. And we lost a few people," says Marks, not volunteering to elaborate.
During his second tour, the Navy assigned Marks additional duty with Bravo Surgical Company near Fallujah. "That was a very tough place to work," he says, "a unique ministry. We sometimes had to get medical personnel to treat the wounded even if they weren't on our team. That's part of the ethics they take on, not to be angry with enemy combatants and attack them in the medical facility.
"Beyond that, there were things you saw that you never want to see again in your life. When the casualties came in, and if the injured requested one, I was the go-to chaplain for the company. Because of my denomination, I don't do last rites. But I will pray with somebody in a minute.
"Still, as bad as things were," says Marks, "so many wonderful things came through there. We had some of the best patch-and-get-them-back work that was going in Iraq. The medical staff performed wonders. The technology has come so far beyond the days of World War II and Korea and Vietnam. They were able to treat our wounded on the front lines and get them back. And if they couldn't, they did a heck of a job of sending them someplace where further medical treatment could be given."
I ask whether Marks "preached" outside of chapel, whether during the desperate circumstances of Iraq he ever tried to convert any non-Christian Marines. A chaplain proselytizing, he tells me, "is never appropriate in the military. I'm not here on active duty to convert anybody from Islam, or any other religion, to be a Baptist. When I'm in chapel, I preach what I believe. But not outside."
The 36-year-old Marks grew up in Tennessee and had extensive military experience before becoming a chaplain. At age 18, he joined the United States Marine Corps Reserve, then graduated from Tennessee Tech University with an Army ROTC commission as a nuclear biological chemical warfare officer. After a stint in the Army, he attended seminary at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia. There he was ordained a minister in the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc., the largest African-American denomination and the second-largest Baptist church after the Southern Baptist Convention. The denomination is noted for placing great emphasis on social outreach.
"In the ministry, we say that we have a calling upon our lives," states Marks, "and I knew a long time ago that I was going to serve God's people in the military. I was a chaplain in the Air Force Reserves. Eventually, after a lot of prayer, I requested that I be endorsed to go on active duty in the Navy Chaplain Corps. The denomination has an agent who signs off on a document and sends it to the Navy, saying we endorse him fully to become a chaplain."
In 2002, Marks joined the chaplaincy, first attending the Naval Chaplains School in Newport, Rhode Island. Since he was bound for a Marine ground unit, he also attended the Marines' Chaplain and Religious Program Specialist Expeditionary Skills Training at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Among other things, the schools teach chaplains, who may have no previous experience in the military, how to relate to enlisted personnel and officers of various ranks. "But also," says Marks, "not everyone is a believer in what the chaplains do, or even a believer in God, so in order for us to be able to speak to people properly, we also have to have ranks."
All chaplains come into the Navy as officers. "Right now, my command is the Naval Base Coronado, and I'm a lieutenant," says Marks. "There's a certain respect that comes to me from that, and I have to have a corresponding respect for others." Chaplains are paid by the military services, not by their churches. So besides the status and influence they carry, ranks determine their salary ranges.
Since at least 2000, a number of disputes over fairness in promotions have arisen among evangelical Navy chaplains. I ask Marks if he has opinions about these disputes. He tells me he has heard about them, but "I believe that if God wants me to be somewhere or to do a certain task, God's going to equip me to do it. I don't worry about those other things. They're not important to me," he says.
According to an August 6, 2001, story in Christianity Today, "[Lieutenant Commander] Patrick M. Sturm, a Navy chaplain based in San Diego, filed suit after being denied promotion five years in a row. After seeking reconsideration by a naval board and filing his suit in federal district court, Sturm was promoted retroactively. The Navy then sought to have the case dismissed.

Alternative Energy Gets Real
Renewable energy is booming. The use of solar power has been growing by more than 30% a year and, except for a hiccup in 2004 -- when Congress delayed renewing a tax credit -- so has wind power. Ethanol is heading for record production levels. And there's no end in sight, given high oil and gas prices, an increasing number of government mandates and incentives, and the first real steps toward tackling global warming. Clean Edge Inc., a research and strategy consultant, predicts that the total clean-energy market will grow to $92 billion by 2013, about seven times its current size of $13 billion. "The investment community is starting to see real opportunities," says Ron Pernick, co-founder of Clean Edge.
But buyer beware: Many of the leading companies supplying the technology to produce renewable energy still aren't profitable. Often the pros are divided on just which are the leading companies. In fact, today's renewable business is reminiscent of the computer industry in the early 1980s, "when no one knew who the winners would be," says Carsten Henningsen, chairman of Portfolio 21, a mutual fund that invests in environmentally conscious companies. That's why many analysts and fund managers recommend investing in a basket of companies. "People should try to pick companies positioned to be winners and get enough of them," says Henningsen.
Wind might produce the biggest winners. A U.S. tax credit of 1.8 cents per kilowatt-hour is in place until 2006, and 19 states now require electricity producers to generate part of their power from green sources. Energy information and services company Platts, like BusinessWeek part of The McGraw-Hill Companies (MHP ), expects that most of the new sources will be wind. One beneficiary could be Denmark's Vestas Wind Systems, the world's biggest turbine manufacturer, which is listed in Copenhagen and trades over the counter in the U.S. "It is profitable, and there is more certainty and a more favorable political climate surrounding wind than solar or hydrogen," says Henningsen.
Fuel-cell companies are also catching the eye of investors. Their stocks are way down from the speculative peaks of a few years ago, but their products are finally becoming a compelling alternative to diesel-powered backup generators, says Walter Nasdeo, managing director of New York-based Ardour Capital Investments LLC. And they hold the promise of clean, efficient, hydrogen-powered cars, provided costs come down. Nasdeo is bullish on FuelCell Energy Inc., which he expects to reach $17.50 in a year, from $8.45 now.
A buy-and-hold strategy combined with some selective trading may be the best strategy for cashing in on the alternative-energy boom. "If [FuelCell Energy] goes to $14 or $15, you should take a little profit, then wait until [it] pulls back and buy some more," says Nasdeo. Eventually, he expects one of the renewable energy stocks to hit it big. In addition to FuelCell Energy, Nasdeo sees potential in Evergreen Solar (ESLR ), which makes solar cells; American Superconductor (AMSC ), which makes highly efficient superconducting wire and power-regulation devices; and two other fuel-cell makers, Hydrogenics (HYGS ) and Plug Power (PLUG ).
Portfolio 21's Henningsen also sees opportunities now to buy companies with beaten-down stocks. His own holdings: Vestas; fuel-cell makers Ballard Power Systems and Plug Power; and IMPCO Technologies (IMCO ), which focuses on devices for car engines that use alternative fuels. After a fall for these stocks in 2004, "now may be the time to buy," he says.
If investors don't have the time or stomach to juggle a portfolio of individual stocks, they could buy into a fund that specializes in renewable-energy stocks. An interesting choice is the WilderHill Clean Energy Index, set to debut in early 2005. It's the brainchild of Robert J. Wilder, who put together an index of clean energy stocks five years ago as a hobby. It now includes everything from fuel-cell companies to suppliers of carbon fiber for turbine blades and makers of hydrogen. The index soared during the tech boom, plunged, and is now up 26% since August. "There are about 40 representative stocks -- and any one of them might do well," says Wilder. In other words, with a big enough basket, renewable energy could charge up any portfolio.

Seven fire crews battle Wolverhampton Brewbakers blaze
Seven fire crews were called to tackle a blaze inside a derelict building in Wolverhampton.
Police and firefighters descended on the disused Brewbakers building in Horseley Fields, after a passer-by reported seeing plumes of black smoke billowing from the second floor.
A large crowd gathered in the street outside the building while firefighters battled to contain the blaze.
Adam Hodson, who lives in nearby Albion Street, said he had been out to the shops when he saw the fire develop at around 10pm.
He said: "I noticed smoke coming out of the second floor of the building and the inside was bright orange. The police and fire service were fantastic. They were here within a minute and quickly got the fire under control.
Firefighters remained at the scene after dousing the flames in an effort to secure the building.
Crew Commander Martin Mills, from Dudley Fire Station, said: "We took the call at around 10pm and crews were quickly sent out to the scene.
"As always with fires in derelict buildings there is always the possibility of arson, but it is too early to say at this stage."
The old Brewbakers warehouse in Willenhall Road has been empty for more than 10 years.
The firm used to specialise in home and garden furniture and had stores across the Black Country and Staffordshire
Last year a councillor called for more work to be done on the building, citing it as one of the city's main eyesores.
Councillor John Rowley called for a review on how Wolverhampton City Council used its register of disused buildings, such as Brewbakers and the former Sunbeam factory on Penn Road

San Diego has never seen coffee like this before!
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 22, 2013
San Diego has come to expect a higher standard of coffee from Better Buzz Coffee Roasters. Better Buzz has, for the past 10+ years, consistently pushed the envelope for enjoying its brew, and San Diego just kept coming back and demanding more.
In fact, there are a lot of things San Diegans have come to expect from Better Buzz Coffee Roasters and their coffee shops. Not just fresh cup of fair trade coffee prepared on the spot, but a Barista behind it who is equipped to educate you on its distinct flavors and origin characteristics (think terms like, "Earthy, heavy bodied, with dark chocolate notes"). Not just fast service, but gourmet coffee preparation dedicated to both the art and science of handcrafting the perfect cup consistently and efficiently. San Diego thought they knew what to expect.
Until now.
Glowing coffee siphons, life size cold brew with spiraling funnels and intermittent glass orbs, two distinct coffee bars with the second specializing in an unprecedentedly scientific (and delicious) take on the foundational drinks of coffee, all in traditional Italian cupped beverages using nothing but organic milk. And this whole experience wrapped up in a turn of the century laboratory style interior. All that is to say:
San Diego has never seen coffee like this before.
Expect to see the bizarre, memorizing glow of theLab's coffee siphons showing up on your instagram, and the cold brew systems getting tweeted out to all your non-coffee savvy and coffee savvy friends alike. You won't need to be an industry connoisseur to take advantage of the unusual photo-op.
The Eater, in a recent interview with the owner, Tim Langdon, explains "In addition to their custom pour overs and coffee siphons, Langdon's particularly excited about theLab's cold brew system, comprised of special, hard-to-find equipment from Japan, which will drip three liters of coffee each 20 to 24 hour period. Better Buzz will make four kinds of cold brew and bottle it to-go."
Three liters of coffee each 20 to 24 hour period – in other words – 1 drip every 10 seconds. Now that's something to buzz about.
But the coffee pros at Better Buzz didn't stop there. In addition to the home-grown menu items San Diego has come to love, like their killer bees (coffee topped with espresso) and their "Best Drink Ever," (A refreshing Better-Buzz variation on an iced Americano) this new coffee shop will be offering distinctive breakfast, appetizer, and dessert menu items, like woopie pies and a unique twist on French Toast.
This is not your average specialty coffee shop. This is a headfirst immersion into the handcrafted chemistry behind coffee. It embraces the idea that coffee offers a rich myriad of possibilities and taste profiles, where the artful process of creating it is just as mystifying as drinking it.

The summer after I graduated college (2002) I decided that it would be a good idea to get a membership to a gym. This was partially motivated by boredom, and partially motivated by the fact that the YMCA downtown offered a discounted membership rate to CIU students.
So, every week day I'd go to the gym. All of the workout machines were on the sixth floor. Since I was there to work out, I resolved to always take the stairs instead of the elevator. I think it was a couple of weeks in before I noticed that, outside of the building was a fire escape. Over the next few days I would look at it from the inside of the building and wonder where it started and ended. But I had yet to achieve the level of boredom that would be required for me to make my dumb decision...
So, one Sunday afternoon, I decided that my curiosity and boredom had carried on their love affair in secret for too long. Their love child had grown too big to hide. I drove downtown, found a parking spot in the lot adjacent to the YMCA (which belonged to FBC) and began to explore how I could find the fire escape.
It didn't take me long to find out where it started and, too my delight, had a staircase at the bottom that used springs to lift itself after use. Editor's Note: I don't know why I think this is cool. I just do. So I began to climb. The above picture is of my everest.
Even though heights (or, more specifically, falling from them) is one of my two biggest fears (the other being the dark), I pressed on towards my goal of reaching the summit. Editor's Note: This was me practicing mental toughness before I even met McGill! I finally reached the roof and enjoyed a beautiful view of my city. Then, I decided to descend back to where people with far less courage than I dwelt: street level.
Here's where the problems started: about the time I decided to climb down, the church ended its service and everyone started pouring out into the parking lot. Knowing that my vertical adventure would probably be filed under the "illegal" column, I decided it would be best if I waited for the parking lot to clear out before I started down in full view of the congregation.
So I waited... and waited... After about 20 minutes I realized that I had to pee. After about 20 more I thought about relieving myself where I was, but I had already made that mistake once. (Don't worry. One day I'll blog about that story.) So, after 45 minutes of waiting, I couldn't take it anymore. I started down, praying all the way that no one would see me, arrest me, throw me in jail, and watch me pee myself while I sat next to my cellmate, "White Power" Bill.
As I stepped off of the previously mentioned awesome springy staircase, I ran into the YMCA's first floor. While I... emptied the tank, I realized the importance of factoring in your bladder when planning to scale a building. Remember kids, if you learn from your dumb decisions you seem like less of a moron when retelling the story.
By the way, there's a better than good chance I'll climb that fire escape again tomorrow...

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Healthcare Communication & Marketing Association, Mt. Royal, NJ, USA
Wow,what to say,I could talk about the battles my sister,sisters-in-law & friends have had...not all battles won or get straight to the point. I myself cannot cure cancer, so my role is support...money & time. The Shrimp Boil, The Rose Golf Classic, Susan Komen events & in return the employees at the Rose are some of the best friends I have in this world.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
how many people are patients of the Rose on a daily basis.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the survivors & early detection.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
second to none.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
hire the energy to keep pushing for the cure to Cancer.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Buzzing The Net correspondant Nathan White sat down for a
one-on-one interview with Moncton Wildcats forward Kirill Kabanov upon
his return to the QMJHL from New York Islanders training camp.
How was your time at New York Islanders training camp?
"I was really excited to go to NHL camp. I stayed there for the whole summer. First was the prospects camp, then was rookie camp, then the main camp. It was unbelievable, I was so happy to be a part of an NHL team. Long Island is beautiful, the people are nice and the organization seems like one of the best ever. ... It was unbelievable to be part of the team for a couple months. The guys on the team, the old guys are really nice to the rookies, the players are nice, it was really good. I'm so happy that I was drafted there."
What's the biggest thing you learned from that experience? Anything you need to work on?
"I'm supposed to become like more (mature), and to grow up a little bit to be part of an NHL team. I'm supposed to organize all my things and probably work on my game a little bit, backchecking and defensive play, that's what I'm supposed to learn."
So what happened? We heard you got in a little trouble for being late?
"No comment."
You don't want to talk about that?
OK, so are you expecting to be back (in the lineup) next weekend for Moncton (against the Saint John Sea Dogs Friday)?
"Yeah, I'm going to play the next game against Saint John. I'm really excited about that too, to be back to junior and my own team, it's really nice. I'm really happy about that."
Last year, you had the injury, and you had different things that happened off the ice. Are you looking at this year as a chance to have a really solid year and put that behind you?
"Yeah, it's already behind me. It was in the past, you can't change your past whenever you want to. Yeah it happened, but I'm looking just to this season, to improve myself, to work hard. I worked hard all summer, I gained like 14 pounds and I'm just looking forward. What happened, you can't change, right?"
Yeah, for sure.
"Sometimes you make mistakes in your life. Sometimes you think about them but usually they just stay behind (you). What happened in the past doesn't have a place in the future, like right now. If you would break up with your girlfriend, you probably start thinking about your next life. I broke up with my girlfriend, I'm thinking about the future, I don't think about her anymore. That's the same, it's a part from my last life, from my past life, so it stays behind (me). Girlfriend, hockey, you're just supposed to look to the future, see what you can do to change bad opinions of the other guys thinking about you. ... First of all, I just want to show myself that I'm a good person."

Allstate: The Skies Clear
Investors usually rush for shelter during hurricane season by bailing out of casualty insurers. But now some are braving impending storms by buying into Allstate (ALL ), the largest publicly traded homeowner's, auto, and life insurer. Cathy Seifert of Standard & Poor's rates Allstate a "strong buy." Its fundamentals are improving while the price-earnings ratio is depressed at just over 8; comparable insurers have p-e's of up to 25. The stock beat the market last year, she notes, despite hurricane losses of $5.7 billion from Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. Harry Fong of Calyon Securities, who rates it a "buy," says such losses won't be repeated this year. Allstate has cut its exposure in coastal states and raised prices. In Florida, Allstate has just 400,000 policies in force, down from 1.2 million before Hurricane Andrew in 1992, with further cutbacks to come, says Fong. What's more, Allstate now has reinsurance covering stormy states like Florida. This isn't yet fully reflected in Allstate's price, which fell from 63 a year ago to 55.17 on July 12, says Fong, who has a 12-month target of 70. Allstate is a strong cash generator and bought back $450 million worth of stock in the first quarter as part of a $1 billion 2006 buyback plan. Fong sees earnings of $7 a share this year and $7.40 in 2007, vs. $2.37 in 2005. Gabriel Solomon of T. Rowe Price (TROW ), which owns shares, says Allstate's profits are more sustainable than the market perceives.
