Amazon announced multiple Kindle Fire's today, including a 8.9-inch version packing 4G LTE. The e-commerce giant had already unveiled its 8.9-inch 16GB Kindle Fire HD, but then decided to do one better by revealing a 32GB Kindle Fire HD with 4G LTE. The 32GB model will carry the same specs as its 16GB brethren, which includes an OMAP 4470 processor from Texas Instruments, Wi-Fi networking with the addition of a dual-band 2.4GHz/5GHz receiver, a 1920×1200 254ppi display, better speakers, a laminated touch sensor for better visuals with 25 percent less glare.
Bringing it further and beyond the specs, the company introduced a new Amazon package that offers a separate 4G LTE model available for $499. The company plans to give users a data plan that'll cost $49.99 per year with a monthly data cap of 250MB, 20GB of cloud storage, and a $10 Appstore credit. This is typical stuff from a company who's notorious for bundling packages to customers. I know, 250MB of data doesn't seem like much, but it could be usual for sending off emails while on the go. That said, it's met to be seen whether people will shell out 500 bucks for a Kindle Fire over an iPad.
Who's interested in Amazon's 4G LTE package for the 32GB Kindle Fire HD?

Architecture school turns 30 and creates Leighton Liu ScholarshipUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Margot Schrire, (808) 956-6774
Director of Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Director of Communications, University of Hawaii Foundation
Posted: Mar 7, 2011
HONOLULU – The School of Architecture at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa recently announced the creation of the Leighton Liu Endowed Scholarship. The scholarship, established with gifts from friends and alumni totaling $35,000, honors former Associate Professor Leighton Liu who retired last year after dedicating nearly 40 years to the school. This scholarship will support an outstanding second year architecture student who demonstrates design excellence and completed their first year at the School of Architecture.
"Leighton Liu is an outstanding educator who always placed the students first. His dedication to teaching and learning has inspired thousands over the 40 years he spent at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa," said Clark Llewellyn, dean, School of Architecture. "I am proud to have served with him and am rewarded that his legacy will be remembered and reinforced through the endowed scholarship in his name."
Liu began as an instructor at the school in 1971 and, in addition to teaching, he assumed numerous responsibilities. Most recently he served as supervisor of the Fabrication Workshop, which unites traditional hand and digital construction techniques. Liu also founded popular annual traditions like the Pumpkin Carving Esquisse and the Sand Castle Esquisse which are enjoyed by students, architectural firms and the general public.
Architectural education at the University of Hawai'i began in 1946 with a Pre-Architecture Program and has evolved over the years. It became a four-year program in pre-architecture in 1967, and later a new Department of Architecture in 1969. The school was established in 1980 led by Dean Elmer Botasi.
"Thanks to the generosity and hard work of our alumni, I am delighted that this scholarship will continue to benefit promising young students in the years to come," said Liu.
For more information on how you can support the School of Architecture, please contact Harriet Cintron at (808) 956-3594 or email@example.com. You can also make a give online https://www.uhfoundation.org/GiveToArch.
The University of Hawai'i Foundation, a nonprofit organization, raises private funds to support the University of Hawai'i System. Our mission is to unite our donors' passions with the University of Hawai'i's aspirations to benefit the people of Hawai'i and beyond. We do this by raising private philanthropic support, managing private investments and nurturing donor and alumni relationships. www.uhfoundation.orgwww.uhfoundation.org

Scarlett Johansson: Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive 2013!
Scarlett Johansson is sexy as can be on the cover of Esquire magazine's November 2013 issue, on newsstands October 15.
Here is what the 28-year-old actress, who was crowned as the Sexiest Woman Alive, had to share with the mag:
On finally feeling jealousy while dating Romain Dauriac: "I didn't think I was a jealous person until I started dating my current, my one-and-only. I think maybe in the past I didn't have the same kind of investment. Not that I liked my partner less, I just wasn't capable of it or caring that much."
On winning Sexiest Woman Alive twice: "I'm the only woman to win twice right?..You know, I gotta hustle. I'm a twenty eight year old woman in the movie business, right? Pretty soon the roles you're offered all become mothers. Then they just sort of stop. I have to hedge against that with work-theater, producing; this thing with Esquire."
Here is a list of previous Sexiest Women Alive: Mila Kunis (2012), Rihanna (2011), Minka Kelly (2010), Kate Beckinsale (2009), Halle Berry (2008), Charlize Theron (2007), Scarlett Johansson (2006), and Jessica Biel (2005).

The film "But Now I See" is about the life of the pastor who penned the hymn "Amazing Grace."
A Winston-Salem-area production company will film scenes next month in coastal Southeastern North Carolina for an educational Christian film about the life of the pastor who penned the hymn "Amazing Grace."
Produced by Inspirata Films, "But Now I See" will tell the story of the life of John Newton, whose conversion from slave trader and ship captain to abolitionist and pastor helped him write one of the country's most well-known pieces of music.
The faith-based film, which shot scenes aboard the tall ship Hector in Nova Scotia this spring, will film at various coastal spots in the region Aug. 4-9, director and producer John Jackman said. Oak and Bald Head islands will stand in for Plantain Island off the coast of Sierra Leone, and Fort Macon near Atlantic Beach will be used as the Kittim fort where slaves were transferred. The group was granted permission to film scenes on Bald Head by the island's conservancy, Jackman said.
Crews also will shoot interior and English country scenes in the Triad area.
Pennsylvania-based actor Erik Nelson will play Newton, but local actors will be cast as slave traders and in other key roles, Jackman said.
"The hymn is amazing but the film is more about Newton's life," he said. "The arc of his life has incredible change and drama. It's amazing that it has never been told."
Newton led a sordid life and was a troublemaker on most of the ships he worked on. He was flogged for desertion before being traded to a slave ship. The slave ship captain hated him so much he sold him to a slave trader in Sierra Leone.
Years later, Newton wrote the song's lyrics in an attic room. It was heard for the first time on New Year's Day in 1773.
"But Now I See" is a nonprofit project funded by the Christian History Institute, Comenius Foundation and individual donors. The film is slated for release on digital video formats with limited theatrical engagements next year. Producers hope to raise money to complete the film's editing on crowd-sourcing website IndieGoGo.

Four-year-old Heidi Hankins joins Mensa with 159 IQ
A four-year-old girl from Hampshire has been accepted into Mensa with an IQ just one point below Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
Heidi Hankins from Winchester has a 159 IQ. She taught herself to read and was able to count to 40 at two years old.
British Mensa chief executive John Stevenage said Heidi's parents "correctly identified that she shows great potential".
According to Mensa, the average adult IQ score is 100.
In 2009, Oscar Wrigley, aged two and a half at the time, from Reading in Berkshire became the youngest ever child to join Mensa with an IQ of 160.
Mr Stevenage said: "We aim to provide a positive environment for younger members to develop."
According to Mensa, the signs of a gifted child include an unusual memory, reading at an early age, intolerance of other children and an awareness of world events. A gifted child will also ask questions all of the time.

Truthfully, I have little interest in the zombies themselves during a zombie apocalypse (they are not real characters, or at least they show little actual development). Rather, I am more interested in how people survive and what their life is like during a zombie apocalypse (and let's face it, running and hiding from zombies is the only way to survive a zombie apocalypse).

^Partially because the katana has a limited range, dulls quite easily, and can be stuck in bone. Secondly a weapon, any weapon is only as good as its operator! And I rather doubt the person in question was trained in any sort of martial art, more likely hack and slash with the three foot razor blade.
We covered swords in the old Zombie thread if you remember? And I preferred the Roman Gladius as its a stouter blade destined for both hack and slash as well as stabbing. But in the real world a firearm is preferable as distance is your friend!
As for the show, yeah they're really reaching with the sword thing, but I'll watch the premier nonetheless.

My ideal anti-zombie melee weapon against the Walking Dead type of zombie is the double-sided iron mace staff.
long staff with rectangular steel mace on each end.
Makes it a lot easier to consecutively crush zombie skulls quickly and efficiently.
And no need to worry about dull blades!
Melodrama social conflicts has it place, but it should take a backseat to actually facing the survival issue, not be the prominent force of the plot.
Whoever wrote the first half of the 2nd season was a complete idiot who didn't have a CLUE on priority.

Additionally, to put it in perspective, crazy blond woman (Lauren Holden) spent all of two episodes learning how to shoot a variety of firearms. After those two episodes, she could hit a moving target with a chance to kill at a 100 yards (thereabouts). That is impossible in the real world. Hell, being able to use any firearm in a reasonable fashion is almost impossible after only a few days. Yet, the entire series, nay the entire Zombie Apocalypse mythos, is built around the idea that anyone can pick up any gun at any time and start getting clean head shoots (with any type of gun) within days if not hours.
If you, are anyone, is willing to suspend their disbelief so far as to allow these very unrealistic ideas, then why not swords? What's the big deal? They may not work a certain way in real life, but this is clearly not real life (though it is nowhere near as bad as the chainsaw arm from Evil Dead that you referenced earlier).
That being said, and to repeat what I wrote in the apocalypse thread, the main weapon everyone needs in a zombie apocalypse is a big stick (metal or otherwise). Your main defense and offense is always to run away, and frankly guns provide something of a very false sense of security (guns are most useful on humans because they can cause humans to retreat or surrender; since Zombies never retreat, guns are essentially useless beyond the dozen or so zombies that you can kill before you run out of bullets and have to run or die), but a big stick is a constant companion that can always help you, and since your main weapon is the big stick you will always try to steer clear of entering any situation where a big stick is useless.
Big Stick for President!

There's defenitely that as well.
When they came back from short hiatus in the second half of the second season, and immediately showed improvement by Rick using his blood to draw a zombie to the fence and dispatch with ease with the knife, I shouted "See, THIS is what I was looking for in this series. Innovative way to solve critical problems. Not 'MEH I DISLIKE YOU' 'I DISLIKE YOU MOAR' for six straight hours."
It's like, the whole "figuring out solutions to survive" doesn't have any impact other than oooh ahhh of the moment, and zero lasting effect.
Like you said, it's stupid.

I'm not disputing the use of any sword, just pointing out the attempt by the producer to draw more of an audience by having a twin katana wielding female now in the show.
I'm going to table the discussion of guns and false security for another thread! As well as the "Big Stick" theory also.
I was only pointing out the limitations of the katana (or any other sword for that matter) in this hypothetical situation, and listing my preferences!
Remember we're allowed our opinion, and this is mine, and that's all it is.
But the show has gotten rather silly though.

Yeah, it was clear the producers/writers decided to forgo the melodrama of last season for a complete bloodbath. Lots of fun.
Pacing was good (a nice mixture of the slow and fast and the tense and frantic with the peaceful), acting on par with the rest of the series (the new dynamic between Rick and his wife is interesting, and it is really cute seeing their son try and impress the only girl close to his age range), and the gore was certainly plentiful. I also like the time skip; the medias res nature of the story helps to add to the drama. Can't wait for next week 84/100.

I am super pumped for new Walking Dead episodes. I've been following this show since day one and it just keeps getting better. I hope there is more zombie action this season than there was last season though.
My friends all read the comics and are telling me tidbits of spoilers about the upcoming season. It's gonna kick some serious ass.

SHIFT Collection » Shift Series » Soundbar (Fully Powered)
Price when discontinued:
$799.99 per system USD
Small rooms. Big rooms. Bedrooms. Boardrooms. Think thin. Powered sound bar and subwoofer. Wireless slim sub offers flexible placement options: tuck it into a corner, a cabinet or under a couch. 2.1 channels of sound for a room-filling sound experience. Our Soundtrack system is for you if you think ordinary is overrated and you're into extraordinary.
Direct connection to Apple TV and Airport Express.
Receiver-less audio! An amplified sound bar and amplified wireless subwoofer combination. Everything's included in the box for a quick and easy setup, even the audio cables and a right-angle RCA adaptor for use when the sub's placed in a horizontal position.
It's for those who want realistic, room-filling sound via a space-saving format. If sound quality from ordinary sound bars leaves you unmoved, we guarantee this Paradigm system (with its spectacular bass) will shake your foundations.
2.1 channels of sound … a room-filling sound experience. The two full-range driver complements in the sound bar are physically separated into two channels. Three drivers make up the right channel of the sound bar with three more on the left. This separation ensures that sound from both channels travels widely and deeply throughout the room. Stereo imaging is immaculate. Superb reproduction of the original live event or original recording session. If in a live performance cellos were to the left, violas spread across the front, drums in the back, then that's where you'll hear them. Sound will follow the live performers as they travel across the stage. In a movie, as special effects fly in, you'll find yourself ducking your head.
Paradigm's DSP signal processing design uses sophisticated mathematical algorithms to shape frequency response so that even when the system is playing at loud levels, sound is clear, musical and authentic.
2 x 4-1/2" bass/midrange woofers: Mineral-filled polypropylene. This material delivers a superb low-mass, high-stiffness ratio. The benefits of this? Excellent reproduction in the higher midrange and fast transient response (explosions, etc.). The material is also an effective damper for distortion as the woofers move back and forth.
2 x 4" passive radiators: Constructed of a mineral-filled polypropylene, the dual radiators extend the speaker's range in the lower bass frequencies.
2 x 1" high-frequency ferro-fluid cooled dome tweeters: Pure-aluminum dome tweeters are a rarity at this price. Fluid cooling the voice coil improves power handling which improves the accuracy, purity and range of the high-frequencies.
8" laminated polypropylene cone driver with a 1-1/2" high-temperature aluminum-wire voice coil. Dual ports ensure even, articulate, well-timed bass performance. Oversized ports and driver are arranged in a perpendicular array to achieve the low-profile design. Wired option for subwoofer is also available, cable not included. If desired, the sub will fit into a standard A/V cabinet.
The Class-D amplification delivers 2 x 25 watts of RMS power and 2 x 50 watts peak power from the sound bar. The amplified sub delivers 100 watts of RMS power and 250 watts peak power.

EW's teaser trailer has zero dialogue, so it'll be a while till we know if this is Larry David looking and acting completely different, or just Larry from Curb Your Enthusiasm disguised as Rick Rubin. Clear History will also feature Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, Michael Keaton, Amy Ryan, Eva Mendes, Danny McBride; Mottola says it was largely improvised.

HOUSTON --A Houston-area man has been sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison for passing almost $500,000 in fake cash.
A federal judge in Houston on Wednesday sentenced 35-year-old Synaca Thomas of Cypress.
Thomas in January pleaded guilty to conspiracy to make and possess counterfeit currency, plus illegal possession of a firearm by a felon.
Investigators say Thomas and his wife would take genuine $5 bills and reprint them to appear to be $100 bills.
Brittany Jordan earlier pleaded guilty to conspiracy to make counterfeit currency and passing counterfeit currency. The 26-year-woman is free on bond pending sentencing. Prosecutors say the husband's punishment was enhanced because he attempted to smuggle contraband, which was disguised as candy, into a facility where he was being held.

The first trailer for September's "The Maze Runner" has arrived online, bringing imagery from James Dashner's novel to vivid life.
Directed by newcomer Wes Ball, "The Maze Runner" is the latest dystopian adventure to be adapted from a bestselling young adult novel. But this time, instead of a resourceful heroine, the story centers on Thomas, played by Dylan O'Brien, a teen who finds himself deposited into a community of boys trapped near a massive, and lethal, maze.
"No one has ever survived a night in the maze," Thomas is told in the new trailer.
Although Thomas has no memory of who he was before he came to the Glade, he soon begins to form alliances and make friends. But his arrival heralds unanticipated changes — before long, a girl, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), unexpectedly turns up, and the rules that have governed the maze no longer appear to apply.
Set for release Sept. 19, "The Maze Runner" also stars Will Poulter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee and Blake Cooper, among others.
Of course, for fans who can't wait months for futuristic sci-fi adventure, there's "Divergent," opening in theaters Friday. Adapted from Veronica Roth's bestseller, the film stars Shailene Woodley as Tris Prior, a brave young woman in conflict with a rigid, authoritarian society.

Letter to the editor: Congratulations to UL Lafayette
I would like to take the opportunity to say congratulations and a job well done to The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and to commend President Joseph Savoie, his staff, Coach Hudspeth, his staff, Scott Farmer, his staff, the leadership at the RCAF, the student athletes, and last but not least the loyal and enthusiastic Ragin' Cajuns fans who participated in the third successful year of wining the New Orleans Bowl. The atmosphere, excitement and enthusiasm was second to none.
Everyone in Lafayette and Acadian should be proud of how far we've come both athletically and academically in the past couple of years.
Recently, I had a chance to interface with several tourists from outside of Louisiana and they were overwhelmed at the spirit being demonstrated, and the hospitality of the Cajun people. In fact, I met a couple who were in town from North Carolina, who joined us for the parade down Bourbon Street and they said it was the highlight of t heir trip.
What a nice way to start the Christmas Holidays. Go Cajuns!

So much for all that extra elbow room, that additional breathing room in the Pacific Division.
Suddenly, things have gotten tight and tense — take your pick — between the Kings and the Phoenix Coyotes in the race for third place.
After a wild third period, the Coyotes emerged with a 4-3 victory over the Kings on Monday night at Staples Center, and pulled to within five points of them in the Pacific.
The Kings led, 3-2, going into the third period and this was the first time all season they have blown such a lead. They were 21-0-0 when leading after two periods, and a Kings' victory would have pushed their lead over Phoenix to nine points.
The top three teams in each division are guaranteed to make the postseason.
"We're trying to make the playoffs, I'm not a philosopher," Kings Coach Darryl Sutter said of the race.
There was a strange finish to this one and it involved video review. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick looked to make what appeared to be a spectacular save on forward Jeff Halpern and play continued and Quick then made another tough stop.
But Halpern's shot had crossed the goal line, which was picked up on at least one replay. It had not been an outnumbered attack but Halpern managed to spin away and found plenty of room on the left wing and launched his shot from the base of the left circle.
The league's situation room in Toronto explained the sequence of events on its blog: "At 17:20 of the third period in the Phoenix Coyotes/Los Angeles Kings game, the Situation Room initiated a video review to further examine a play at the Los Angeles goal. Video review determined that Jeff Halpern's shot at 16:55 completely crossed the goal line.
"According to Rule 38.6: 'In the event that a video replay shows a goal was scored prior to the play being stopped, the Video Goal Judge will inform the Game Timekeeper and Official Scorer of the time and the amount of playing time left to be reset on the game clock and penalty time clocks (if applicable).'"
The goal came with 3:05 remaining in the game and it was Halpern's fourth of the season, assisted by Coyotes captain Shane Doan and Kyle Chipchura. Phoenix had tied the score, 3-3, on Keith Yandle's unassisted goal at 9:44. Quick, who did not play in Saturday's loss to the Ducks because of illness, did not appear to be screened on the play.
Quick was tough on himself, saying he had to be better: "I thought we played well enough. I don't think I played well enough. You give up four goals and you're going to lose games."
This was the third straight loss for the Kings, who had come out of the Olympic break with eight straight victories.
"I think we could have been a little more desperate on those two goals they scored in terms of making plays in our own zone," Sutter said. "There haven't been back-to-back games where we've done that ... basic checking mistakes in our zone. I thought we did a pretty good job in being able to come back, so it's disappointing to make those errors in the third."
The Kings have gone into lockdown mode when holding a lead going into the third period and it looked like more of the same when they went ahead late in the second on the power play after Coyotes defenseman Michael Stone went off for holding.
Kings center Anze Kopitar set up linemate Marian Gaborik in the slot with a backhander from the right wing, and Gaborik wasted no time with the quick shot, beating Mike Smith.
This put the Kings up 3-2 as they had fallen behind 2-0 in the opening 7:36.
Kings defenseman Matt Greene, who has been a healthy scratch, returned to action for the first time since Feb. 26.
Dustin Brown was out again but he was not expected to play. It is more likely he will return to action on Thursday. Brown has been dealing with illness but it was also revealed on Sunday after practice that he has been injured. His lower-body injury is not believed to be serious.

Why the Obama administration changed its mind about the Defense of Marriage Act.
The real surprise on Wednesday wasn't that the Obama administration decided it could no longer legally defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which mandates that the federal government not recognize same-sex marriages and stipulates that states need not recognize same-sex marriages from other states. It's that it took so long to get here. Recall that presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged to repeal the law, which he had called "abhorrent," in 2007. What needed to be bridged over the past two years was the distance between the president's personal views and his duty to defend a congressional statute.
That's why even as the Justice Department opted to defend the law at every legal turn, it did so claiming that "until Congress passes legislation repealing the law, the administration will continue to defend the statute when it is challenged in the justice system." As Walter Dellinger, acting solicitor general in the Clinton administration, has explained: "The government has an obligation to comply with the nation's laws, regardless of whether the president agrees with a particular statute. Doing otherwise would also set a precedent justifying similar nullifications by future administrations." The alternative, according to Dellinger, would be to have every president nullify the laws passed by his predecessors by simply declining to appeal adverse rulings.
Dellinger's proposed middle way—in the context of the October court rulings striking down the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy—was to have the administration continue to defend the law formally in the courts while suggesting reasons the courts should strike the law down. This has happened before: The Clinton administration both enforced and argued against a discriminatory HIV policy in the military in 1996, and the law was repealed. That's precisely what the administration opted to do with DOMA on Wednesday.
Attorney General Eric Holder's letter to Congress said the Obama administration would no longer defend Section 3—and only Section 3—of DOMA in New York and Connecticut because it violates the equal-protection clause of the Fifth Amendment, as applied to same-sex couples. Last July, a federal judge in Massachusetts declared DOMA unconstitutional, because it denied federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples in the state. The Obama administration appealed that decision in January, much to the dismay of gay-marriage supporters, who argued that fighting to uphold a discriminatory law in the courts was proof of the administration's ongoing hostility to gay rights. References in government briefs to "uncles marrying nieces" weren't helping.
Section 3 provides that "in determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife." From now on, explained Holder, the administration will continue to enforce DOMA—but it won't defend it, because it doesn't pass the heightened standard of scrutiny it should receive in the courts.
As Adam Bonin lays it out here, bumping up the standard of review isn't mere legal semantics. In his letter, Holder explains that the administration "has defended Section 3 in jurisdictions where circuit courts have already held that classifications based on sexual orientation are subject to rational basis review, and it has advanced arguments to defend DOMA Section 3 under the binding standard that has applied in those cases." "Rational basis review" means that courts will uphold the law so long as it is rationally related to a legitimate government interest. It's the most deferential standard of review, and, Holder suggests, the administration could muster the arguments to defend it in the jurisdictions that applied that test. (Although Holder then goes on in his letter to pillory even the "rational" reasons often advanced to discriminate against gay marriage, including arguments about " 'procreational responsibility' that the department has disavowed already in litigation as unreasonable, or claims regarding the immutability of sexual orientation that we do not believe can be reconciled with more recent social science understandings.")
What's really changed since last fall, according to Holder's reasoning, is that since November 2010, two new lawsuits were filed challenging Section 3 of DOMA in jurisdictions without any precedent indicating whether classifications based on sexual orientation would be subject to the lower "rational basis review" or something higher. Reflecting on the appropriate standard of review, the administration concluded that "the legislative record underlying DOMA's passage contains discussion and debate that undermines any defense under heightened scrutiny. The record contains numerous expressions reflecting moral disapproval of gays and lesbians and their intimate and family relationships—precisely the kind of stereotype-based thinking and animus the Equal Protection Clause is designed to guard against."
Translation: Members of Congress can continue to say what they please to justify passing a law. But we can no longer stand up and make these sorts of arguments in front of a judge.
Holder is careful to minimize the impact of what happens next. It's not as though the whole law will collapse under the weight of "heightened scrutiny" tomorrow. Going forward, Congress will have to defend DOMA, and Justice Department attorneys will now argue that heightened scrutiny should apply. Presumably, someone other than the Justice Department will step in to file briefs defending DOMA, and eventually these cases will reach the Supreme Court. But the DoJ will still play a role. "If asked by the district courts in the Second Circuit for the position of the United States in the event those courts determine that the applicable standard is rational basis," Holder writes, "the Department will state that … a reasonable argument for Section 3's constitutionality may be proffered under that permissive standard."
The real sea change here is that Obama can finally claim, as his attorney general did today, that the winds of change have shifted since 1996. "The Supreme Court has ruled that laws criminalizing homosexual conduct are unconstitutional," writes Holder today. "Congress has repealed the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Several lower courts have ruled DOMA itself to be unconstitutional." Obama can now openly state that his views on gay marriage are "evolving" as Holder admits that "recent evolutions" in gay rights law have influenced this change.
The president seems to have finally acknowledged a truth played out at the Proposition 8 trial in California last summer: Virtually all of the arguments advanced to deny gay couples the right to marry are based on moral animus and junk science, rooted in discredited cases like Bowers v. Hardwick and in unfounded bias that is increasingly hard to defend in open court. As professor Suzanne Goldberg of Columbia Law School put it today: "This is a spectacular and long-awaited acknowledgment by the federal government that there is no good reason for treating gay and nongay people differently, especially when it comes to recognizing the relationships of same-sex couples." The main consequence of today's decision is that the people who actually believe in Bowers v. Hardwick, moral animus, and junk science will get to defend it in court, if they can. The president no longer has to.

TOURNEMIRE, France (Reuters) - A long slow retreat from nuclear power in France or indecision over policy could be very risky as skilled staff retire and young people reject careers with an uncertain future, the state-funded atomic safety research institute said.
If France does decide to pull out of atomic energy it should follow Germany's example and do it quickly, or face operating with inadequate personnel, said Jacques Repussard, who heads the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN).
"You can't spread the exit of nuclear over half a century. It's very dangerous," he said, adding that this consideration partly explained Germany's decision to opt for a fast exit to avoid a loss of skills.
France's state-owned utility EDF, which operates its 58 nuclear reactors, faces a wave of retirements and will have to replace half its nuclear staff by 2017-18.
While Socialist President Francois Hollande has undertaken to cut the country's reliance on atomic energy to 50 percent of electricity consumption by 2025, from 75 percent now, he has not made clear what would happen after that date.
"If, in the next 10 years, there is no clarity on what the future of nuclear energy will be, we will inevitably see a trend in our universities of young people saying: 'I don't want to do that line of work'," Repussard told Reuters in an interview at one of its research centers in the south of France.
As part of the reduction drive in France, the world's most nuclear-reliant country, the government has announced that Fessenheim in the east, its oldest nuclear plant, will shut by the end of 2016.
While the government has allowed EDF to pursue building its first next-generation nuclear reactor in Flamanville in northwestern France, it abandoned the previous government's project to build another reactor at Penly in Normandy.
Germany decided to shut all its nuclear reactors by 2022, in a policy reversal drafted in a rush after Japan's Fukushima disaster in March 2011.
"It was criticized and we asked ourselves how they would do it... But it's wise because doing it slowly means taking considerable risks with the last operating reactors, as finding skilled subcontractors and companies manufacturing certain parts (could become problematic)," Repussard said.
But he admitted that France, where nuclear reactors are on average 26 years old, would never consider a fast exit even though this would be the safest approach if it decided to stop building new reactors or conducting research.
Another issue for the government to consider, he said, was that generic defects would probably appear in several reactors at around the same time, leading them to stop working abruptly.
This echoed comments earlier this month by Pierre-Franck Chevet, the head of France's nuclear safety agency, who said the country needed to ensure there was enough available electricity generation capacity to cope with the sudden outage of 5 to 10 nuclear reactors.
"One day we will see wear and tear appear in the steel of core tanks... and when we see it in one, we will probably see it in all the reactors of the same generation in a short space of time," Repussard said.
Electrabel, the Belgian subsidiary of GDF Suez, has had to close two reactors in Belgium after finding possible cracks in the core tanks that house them.
"To be 80 percent reliant on nuclear energy exposes us to that kind of situation," he added.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Eighteen people were taken to the hospital Friday, at least two in serious condition, after they were hurt in a crash between a hotel shuttle bus and a tractor-trailer near Atlanta's airport, officials said.
At about 10 a.m. College Park police received calls about the crash on the road that loops around the world's busiest airport. It appeared the shuttle struck the side of a tractor-trailer that was attempting a U-turn on the divided road, Sgt. Keith Stanley said.
The front of the bus was badly damaged. The windshield was cracked and the engine block was smashed in and seriously damaged.
Seventeen bus passengers and the driver were taken to area hospitals, Stanley said. The driver of the bus suffered bumps and bruises and had to be pulled from the wreckage by rescuers. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening, and the driver had been released from the hospital by Friday evening.
A Grady Memorial Hospital spokeswoman said emergency personnel there are treating 10 people, eight with minor injuries and two serious. The other victims were taken to Atlanta Medical Center.
One passenger suffered a collapsed lung and another suffered fractures to both shoulders, said Leon Haley, chief of emergency medicine at Grady Hospital. The passengers with lung and shoulder injuries would likely be held overnight and the other eight would likely be released Friday.
Police weren't immediately releasing the names of the drivers or passengers.
Investigators had not had a chance to interview those on the bus because they were quickly taken to area hospitals, Stanley said. He did not know whether the bus was equipped with seat belts and, if so, whether passengers were wearing them. But based on the injuries, Stanley said it appears passengers were not wearing them.
"I don't believe any of the passengers were wearing seat belts on the shuttle bus, so they were all thrown," he said.
Marks on the road indicate the bus skidded about 158 feet immediately before the impact, he said.
"The vehicle was traveling at a good rate of speed," he said.
Stanley says it wasn't immediately clear whether any traffic laws were violated. He said the investigation will likely take several weeks.
Atlanta Fire Rescue Department spokeswoman Janet Ward said the bus served Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn and Hilton hotels and was headed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International airport. The shuttle was operated by MTI Limos, according to markings on the bus. A call to the operations manager of the company was not immediately returned.
Associated Press writer Kate Brumback contributed to this report from Atlanta.

Cuora yunnanensis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Cuora yunnanensis (Boulenger, 1906)
Common Name(s):
Cyclemys yunnanensis Boulenger, 1906
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Cuora yunnanensis has been suggested to be an old example of an inter-specific hybrid, but a 1908 museum specimen was found to have unique mt-DNA indicating it to be a valid species status (Parham et al. 2004), and recent trade specimens of unreported origin agreed genetically with the 1908 specimen (He et al. 2007).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered B2ab(ii,iii,v); D ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|van Dijk, P.P., Blanck, T. & Lau, M.
|Rhodin, A.G.J. & Kuchling, G.
The number of remaining individuals of Cuora yunnanensis are presumed to be exceedingly small, as only three animals have been confirmed since 1946, all since 2004, despite at least 15 years of searches for this species, combined with the intensive collection of all turtle species in China, and monitoring of these trade volumes for unusual turtles. Any remaining population(s) are therefore assumed to be extremely small and localized.
The known animals were obtained from three localities, but in at least two cases are thought to have been purchased in markets and had likely been transported there by humans.
Remaining animals of the species are under exceptional threat from collection, as the species potentially commands a very high price in the (illegal) pet trade, as well as in the consumption trade.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|C. yunnanensis has been reported only from Kunming Fu and Tongchuan Fu [=Dongchuan fide Iverson, 1992, but refers to Zhongping (=Huize) City fide Blanck et al. 2006] in Yunnan, China, at the time of its 1906 description (Iverson 1992, Parham et al. 2004), and a single animal from Xi Shan (Western Mountains) near Kunming collected in 1940 (Zhang and Cheng 1946). It is likely that these animals were purchased in markets and may have been transported by humans, possibly for substantial distances (Blanck 2005). Three more specimens in the Institute of Zoology in Beijing (Parham et al. 2004, Blanck 2005) have no reported locality data or collection date. The origin of three recent specimens discovered since 2004 and now held in captivity has not been recorded (Zhou and Zhao 2004, Zhou 2005, He et al. 2007), and the precise geographic origin of C. yunnanensis remains subject of speculation, with northwestern Yunnan and adjacent Sichuan, northeastern Yunnan close to the Myanmar border, southern Yunnan, and northern Laos having been suggested (Blanck 2005, Blanck et al. 2006, Zhou et al. 2008, Yang and Rao, 2008).

|The type series of Cuora yunnanensis consists of five animals collected at Kunming by a single collector, plus one from Tongchuan [Zhongping] collected by another collector, and another three museum specimens from Kunming, all collected at the same time (Parham et al. 2004, Blanck 2005), suggesting that the species was not particularly rare at this early period of exploration (1900–1906). Four more specimens were subsequently collected and stored in Chinese collections, one of these in 1940 (Parham et al. 2004, Zhou and Zhao 2004, Blanck 2005). Commercial turtle collectors and traders have extensively harvested turtles throughout China (Lau and Shi 2000), and extensive but unsuccessful search efforts had been made to locate Cuora yunnanensis in the wild or in trade. Based on this information, the Asian Turtle Trade Working Group (2000) considered the species extinct. However, a single animal, without data on its origin, was purchased in a Kunming market in 2004 (Zhou and Zhao 2004), showing that this conclusion was premature. At least two animals have subsequently been reported and are held in captivity (Zhou 2005, He et al. 2007, Yang and Rao 2008). There were initial concerns that the single 2004 animal could have been a hybrid animal that resembled yunnanensis in its head and throat pattern, but not its absence of an anal notch; however, the identity of the live animals as yunnanensis was genetically confirmed by He et al. (2007).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|No information is available beyond the general assumption that Cuora yunnanensis inhabits streams, lakes and/or swampy wetlands, the typical lifestyle of most Cuora species. The type locality, Kunming, is at just under 1,900 m altitude; a distribution range of 2,000-2,260 m altitude is generally cited (e.g., Yu 1998, Lau and Shi 2000), but has been questioned as being too high (Blanck 2005).
Females reach up to 17.5 cm CL at 850 grams, males about 15 cm at 375 grams (Zhou and Zhao 2004, Zhou 2005, Zhou et al. 2008). In captivity, one or two clutches per female per year, of 4–8 eggs per clutch (maximum eight eggs per year), have been reported (Zhou et al. 2008). Hatchlings emerge after 64–68 days of incubation at 28–30°C, and measure 32–35 mm at a weight of 6.5–8.3 grams (Zhou et al. 2008).
|Terrestrial; Freshwater
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
Cuora yunnanensis is of great value and potential demand in domestic and global pet trade; it may have been used for subsistence consumption historically. A few specimens have been used for museum collections and anatomical studies.
No animals have been observed in surveys of commercial trade; a number of trade and museum animals reported as yunnanensis proved to have been misidentified (Blanck 2005).
|Major Threat(s):
The main site of presumed historical occurrence of yunnanensis, Kunming, is now an expansive city surrounded mainly by agricultural fields especially in the flat areas. The adjacent Kunming Lake is heavily polluted; the lake's endemic newt Cynops wolterstorfii is considered extinct as a result of water pollution. Monofilament fishing nets were seen abandoned at the lakeshore in 2005, suggesting a risk of accidental drowning if yunnanensis persists (van Dijk pers obs 2005). Substantial areas of the lake have been encroached upon by expansion of the city of Kunming, though a large area of open water remains. The Western Hills area has been extensively developed for tourism, including roads, trails and a cable car, and contains a long-term settlement of rural people tending vegetable and fruit gardens (and presumably gathering local flora, fungi and fauna, potentially including turtles). Hence, habitat degradation and destruction are believed to represent threats.
Cuora yunnanensis has been restricted from international trade by inclusion in CITES Appendix II in 2000, but is reputed to be worth about USD 50,000 for the first animal to emerge from China into the international pet trade (Blanck et al. 2006), and several USD 1,000 for subsequent animals, generating strong incentives to search for and smuggle out any animal.
|Conservation Actions:
Cuora yunnanensis is protected under Chinese domestic legislation and is included in CITES Appendix II.
Surveys to locate and protect any remaining animals and populations and their habitat are in progress; should one or more populations be found, effective in-situ protection of the species and its habitat are urgently required, alongside the establishment of an assurance colony for future re-introduction and population reinforcement.
A single pair in captivity has successfully reproduced (Zhou et al. 2008) and could represent the nucleus of a captive assurance colony.

EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE: EOG) is one of the largest independent natural gas producers in the United States. EOG's reserves are primarily located in major basins within the United States, but the firm also has international operations in Canada, Trinidad, the United Kingdom, and the North Sea. [1]
With approximately 85% of its production in natural gas, EOG has responded to the depletion of conventional sources of this commodity by shifting its focus to unconventional deposits such as the Barnett Shale near Fort Worth, Texas. The difficult process of extracting gas from unconventional resources has only become economically feasible in recent years, and EOG has become highly efficient in these operations. In the Barnett Shale, it has reduced costs by cutting the time it takes to drill a well in half, and it plans to apply lessons learned at this unconventional field to other shale-based resources in the next two years.[2]
The Barnett Shale has become one of North America's "hot spots" for natural gas and EOG owns about 610,000 acres of this area. In general, EOG avoids pricey acquisitions and relies on its ability to develop existing operations in order to keep costs low. Although EOG's competitors have generated more impressive production growth, EOG maintains one of the industry's lowest-cost asset bases. The firm has also outlined plans to build its own gathering, processing, and transportation infrastructure for its resources in Texas and North Dakota, which will create vertical efficiencies and maximize margins in the long term.
Traditional oil and natural gas deposits are being depleted and the importance of developing new technologies and discovering new basins is at the core of EOG's ability to sustain economic growth since they do not rely on expensive acquisitions to grow. EOG's decision to avoid acquisitions has kept the company from enjoying impressive production growth but allowed it maintain efficient operating margins. In comparison with some of its leading competitors such as XTO Energy and Devon Energy, EOG has not grown as rapidly which might lead some investors to think the company's success has been congruent with its growth. However, EOG's low cost mentality in its holdings in some of the most productive and promising areas for natural gas (the Barnett Shale) has allowed it to generate better margins and returns than other companies with properties in the same regions.
As of 2007, EOG's estimated net proved natural gas reserves were 6,095 Bcf and estimated net proved crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids reserves were 118 million barrels. Approximately 60 percent of EOG's reserves on a natural gas equivalent basis were located in the United States, 20 percent in Canada, 20 percent in Trinidad and less than 1 percent in the United Kingdom North Sea.[3][4] [5]
Great insight! That's the awnser we've been looking for.

(Reuters) - A Montana judge who came under fire for sentencing a former teacher to a month in prison for raping a 14-year-old student who later killed herself is set to retire at the end of this year, a court administrator said on Tuesday.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh, whose term expires at the end of 2014, has decided not to file for re-election, according to Becky Bird, district court administrator in Billings.
Bird did not give a reason for Baugh's decision, and the judge's assistant said he declined to comment.
Baugh, 72, sparked public outrage last year by imposing a sentence of 30 days on former Billings high school teacher Stacey Rambold, 54, for the 2007 rape of Cherice Moralez.
The outcry from women's groups was further inflamed by Baugh's remarks during a sentencing hearing in which he said the teenager seemed older than her years and was "probably as much in control of the situation" as her teacher.
The state attorney general has appealed for a longer sentence to the Montana Supreme Court, and several groups had sought Baugh's ouster.
Marian Bradley, head of the Montana chapter of the National Organization for Women, tied Baugh's decision to retire to the controversy sparked by the sentence and his remarks.
"This is a victory. It sends a message to judges that people can make a difference, that we are watching and you will not get away with something that is morally wrong and blames victims for being sexually assaulted," she said.
Bradley said Montana NOW would not give up its fight to see Baugh censured by the Montana Judicial Standards Commission, a panel tasked with ensuring state jurists abide by legal, ethical and conduct codes.
Women's rights activists had argued in a complaint to the commission that Baugh showed gender and racial bias against Moralez, who was Hispanic. The judge has admitted he violated judicial codes by suggesting the girl was partly to blame for the rape, but has denied any bias against the victim.
"Again, I am sorry I made those remarks," Baugh said in a letter to the commission last year. It was not immediately clear what repercussions Baugh could face if he is censured.
An attorney for Moralez's mother, Auliea Hanlon, did not immediately respond on Tuesday to a request for comment.
Rambold was charged in 2008 with three counts of sexual intercourse without consent, the state's equivalent of a rape charge, linked to Moralez, a student in a technology class he taught at Senior High School in Billings. The charges stemmed from a 2007 assault of Moralez in Rambold's home.
Moralez killed herself in 2010 before the case could go to trial, crippling a prosecution that hinged on her testimony.
In a deal with prosecutors later that year, Rambold pleaded guilty to a single count of sexual intercourse without consent. In exchange, prosecutors postponed the case and agreed to dismiss it if he completed sex offender treatment.
The case was reinstated after Rambold was dismissed from a treatment program for violating its rules.
Prosecutors had sought a 20-year prison term for Rambold with half of it suspended. Baugh sentenced Rambold to 15 years and then suspended all but 31 days of that term. Rambold, who was suspended from his teaching post in 2008 and later resigned, received credit for one day served.

Just as it looked like Manchester United's title hopes might dim a little – and not just because of a first-half floodlight failure at Craven Cottage – Wayne Rooney illuminated this occasion to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League table to a daunting 10 points.
It is now five goals in five games for Rooney and the delicious reality for Sir Alex Ferguson is that with Robin van Persie not now scoring; his other main striker has stepped up to the plate. Indeed Van Persie's greatest contribution last night was to head yet another Fulham effort off the goal-line, deep into injury-time.
Defeat was cruel on the home side even if United struck the frame of the goal three times and had a string of other chances. Fulham also hit the post, but somehow did not score. It was incredible that there was just the one goal.
But one goal – and a fine goal at that – was enough to heap the pressure back on the reigning champions, Manchester City, who on Sunday host Liverpool knowing that nothing short of victory will suffice.
With City manager Roberto Mancini declaring his team need to be within five points of United when the two sides meet again in April, there is work to do to half the present advantage.
Will United be champions comes May, Fulham manager Martin Jol was asked?
"Yes, they will," was his succinct response as he concentrated more on lamenting his own team's wasted opportunities, even if he was right to claim it was one of their better performances despite ending in defeat.
"We're in a good position, we're pleased," Ferguson said afterwards. "1-0 doesn't do the game justice. We hit the woodwork three times, they have had chances too, and all in all it was a fantastic game. It was amazing it finished 1-0."
Rooney concurred with that. "Thankfully the goal eventually arrived and we hung on," he said. "It is just one of those things, we had to keep our focus and keep pushing for the win. We are in a good position but we are not going to get carried away. We will keep going and see where we stand with three or four games to go."
United will have to be more clinical and more secure in defence, however.
Fulham were without Dimitar Berbatov, out injured, but the pace and movement of Hugo Rodallega was a handful throughout, even if it was United who could have gone ahead four times in one early, chaotic sequence of play.
From a corner Antonio Valencia's header struck Brede Hangeland, later lost to an Achilles problem, and Mark Schwarzer palmed away superbly but only to Patrice Evra whose shot hit the crossbar. That rebound fell to Rooney who hooked the ball goalwards only for Sascha Riether to clear off the line. Finally, Valencia spun sharply and drove, but his low shot was held by Schwarzer at full stretch.
But back came Fulham and the ball dropped to John Arne Riise, fully 30 yards out, and his fierce angled drive – all swerve and dip – was only just tipped over by David De Gea.
Fulham then poured forward again and in another sweeping move Riise eventually laid the ball to Bryan Ruiz whose snapshot beat De Gea and then cannoned off the base of the post.
Immediately United countered and Hangeland wonderfully tackled Nani as he shaped to shoot before, from the corner, the Fulham defender inadvertently headed against his own crossbar – with Valencia half-volleying the rebound into the side-netting. It was breathless and compelling and it continued with Rooney then Ashkan Dejagah shooting narrowly wide.
Rooney then went even closer. This time it was his turn to strike the post after a fine move which began with with Nani running at the Fulham defence, picking out Tom Cleverley who teed up Rooney to – even more cleverly – curl his shot around Hangeland and strike the frame of the goal.
By now the rhythm of the contest was being dictated by United, with Fulham relying on the counter-attack – but then, after 43 minutes, the lights went out: the floodlights that is.
In the week in which Fulham chairman Mohamed Fayed converted £187 million worth of loans into equity, therefore making the club debt-free, he left himself open to lame jokes about not paying the electricity bill.
The delay meant that 11 minutes after they were awarded a corner, United were able to finally take it with Van Persie, eventually, firing in his first shot, which Schwarzer just about fielded as Rooney ran in sensing a rebound.
A long ball forward then picked out Van Persie down the left and he worked his way to the byline, his cross finding Nani who saw his shot deflected wide for a corner.
For Fulham at the other end, a fierce low drive by Chris Baird was held by De Gea, who moments later spilled an effort from Riether. Rafael da Silva was also called upon to clear a Ruiz header of the goal-line.
But it was United who scored, with Philippe Senderos nudging substitute Javier Hernández rather than concentrating on heading clear a flighted pass down the touchline and the ball fell to Rooney who sprinted into the penalty area. Calmly he used substitute Aaron Hughes as a shield to unsight Schwarzer and curled his right-foot shot into the net.
"He had not been a problem for us," Jol growled about Rooney. "And then he scored a goal out of nothing." It was. And it was enough for United.

NEW YORK (AP) — The dollar rose against the euro and other currencies Friday after the U.S. government reported job growth in November that was greater than analysts were expecting.
The euro fell to $1.2926 from $1.2964 Thursday, and the British pound fell to $1.6036 from $1.6048.
The Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added 146,000 jobs last month, beating economists' estimates. The unemployment rate also fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent, but that was mainly because more people gave up looking for work.

The brave victim of an horrific street attack by two vicious thugs has told how his head was smashed to a bloody pulp and he has been left scarred for life.
Derby Crown Court heard how Chris Hopkinson, 18, of Staveley, was knocked unconscious and kicked black-and-blue by Reece Hardy and Jordon Humphrey outside a birthday party at Creswell Social Centre.
The Netherthorpe School A-Level student's face was transformed into a swollen, bloody pulp with black eyes and cuts to his cheeks, forehead, eyebrow and nose needing thirteen stitches.
Chris told the Derbyshire Times: "There was so much blood. It was unreal. My t-shirt and jeans were covered. I had my head on this girl's lap while I was coming round afterwards and her legs were covered in blood too.
"I had to hold my eyebrow on so it didn't peel away with all the blood running down my face.
"A few people from the area told me it looked like there had been a murder because there was so much blood in the road.
"I came round and police showed me a photo of my injuries and I was so shocked."
Mark Knowles, prosecuting, said during the sentencing hearing last week how a group of friends from Staveley had attended the party on May 10.
The court heard how Hardy and Humphrey, both of Creswell, were initially involved in an assault on one teenager inside the club who was punched and another assault outside where a further victim was struck in the face.
Hardy and Humphrey subsequently attacked Chris who was knocked to the ground and kicked while he was unconscious and left facially scarred.
Mr Knowles added: "He was kicked by both defendants and a witness said it was like the volleying of a football and (involved) a stamping on the head."
Sarah Brown, defending Hardy, said it was a combination of immaturity and alcohol and he is ashamed and acted out of character.
Will Bennett, defending Humphrey, said he was drunk and is sickened by what he has done. Neither has previous convictions.
Judge John Burgess sentenced Hardy, 18, of Dover Street, Creswell, to 22 months' custody and Jordon Humphrey, 19, of Linden Road, Creswell, to 20 months' custody.
Both admitted two counts of assault and one count of causing grievous bodily harm.
Judge Burgess told them: "What you did was terrible. All you have to do is look at the photographs of this young man - look at the scarring? He will have to endure comments.
"People ask him what happened and he feels people who don't know him question whether he is trouble."
Chris, who was treated at Chesterfield Royal Hospital and wants to be a police officer, explained Hardy and Humphrey attacked his friends before turning on him.
The teenager struggled through his A Level exams just two days after the bloodbath with dizziness and headaches and has been forced to re-do his studies to get better grades.
Chris added: "After it happened I woke and it hurt and I couldn't open my eyes because of the swelling.
"I didn't feel comfortable going out by myself or going to parties and when I got back to playing cricket for Staveley Miners' Welfare I wasn't at my best.
"But I am pleased these two have been dealt with and now they have been sentenced I want to put it all behind me and get on with my life."

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The incoming No. 2 American commander in Afghanistan said Saturday that his immediate focus is on supporting upcoming Afghan elections — not on the possibility of U.S. troops remaining after the NATO-led combat mission ends.
At a ceremony in Kabul, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley handed over International Security Assistance Force Joint Command to Lt. Gen. Joseph Anderson — the last such handover, as the mandate for the U.S.-led International Security Assistance Force expires at the end of 2014.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has delayed signing a deal that would allow some a small number of troops to stay in the country after NATO combat troops withdraw, creating friction with Washington.
The military has been pushing to keep up to 10,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014, but the White House says President Barack Obama won't leave any American forces in Afghanistan unless Karzai signs.
Gen. Joseph Dunford, the U.S.'s top commander in Afghanistan, noted "the difficult political challenges," saying in remarks at the change of command ceremony that the coalition's commitment to Afghanistan's success is "unwavering."
Anderson — who will run the day-to-day coalition campaign — acknowledged that the uncertainty around the security deal gives him a "little bit of pause" but is ultimately a "longer term issue."
"Right now the immediacy is supporting the elections and earlier fighting season and getting through all that through the summer," he said. "Then based on whatever number we have to deal with, we will adjust."
"We'll deal with each step along the way," he added.
Afghanistan's presidential election is slated for April 5, and there are fears the Taliban will ramp up violence to sow fear in an attempt to disrupt voting.
