AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — University of Texas officials were defending their decision to wait more than an hour before evacuating due to a bomb threat, one of three such incidents reported at U.S. college campuses in a span of just a few hours.
Tens of thousands urgently heeded evacuation warnings Friday amid the threats at the University of Texas at Austin, University of North Dakota in Fargo and much-smaller Hiram College in northeast Ohio.
The Texas school received the first threat around 8:35 a.m. from a man claiming to belong to al-Qaida, officials said. The caller claimed bombs placed throughout campus would go off in 90 minutes, but administrators waited more than an hour before blaring sirens on the campus of 50,000 students and telling them to immediately "get as far away as possible" in emergency text messages.
Authorities said they started searching buildings for explosives before the alert was issued.
"It's easy to make a phone call ... the first thing we needed to do was evaluate," UT President Bill Powers said. "If the threat had been for something to go off in five minutes, then you don't have the time to evaluate, you just have to pull the switch."
Not everyone agreed.
"What took so long?" student Ricardo Nunez said. "It should have been more immediate."
Recent violent protests outside U.S. embassies in the Middle East also stirred nervous tension among some students, and Texas officials acknowledged global events were taken into account.
Sirens wailed on the Austin campus and cellphones pinged with text messages when the initial alert when out. Students described more confusion than panic as they exited the sprawling campus, where police blocked off all roads heading in as lines of cars sat in gridlock trying to get out.
Tania Lara, a graduate student at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, said she was at work inside a central campus academic building when she got a text message to get as far away was possible.
"It was calm but nobody knew what was going on," she said, describing a crush of students heading for the exits. "No one was yelling 'get out of here' or anything like that."
North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani said about 20,000 people left the Fargo school's campuses as part of an evacuation "that largely took place in a matter of minutes." FBI spokesman Kyle Loven said NDSU received a call about 9:45 a.m. that included a "threat of an explosive device."
Police and school officials said the evacuation was as organized as could be expected, with one campus employee describing people as "being North Dakota nice" while driving away.
"Nobody was panicked and nobody was trying to speed or run over anybody," said Juleen Berg, who works at the NDSU heating plant. "Everybody was waiting their turn."
Graduate student Lee Kiedrowski of Dickinson, N.D., said he was walking on the NDSU campus when he got a text message telling him to evacuate within 15 minutes.
"The panic button wasn't triggered quite immediately," Kiedrowski said. "But there was definitely the thought that we live in a different world now, and with everything that's going on with the riots at the U.S. embassies in the Middle East, your brain just starts moving. You never really know what's going on."
Hiram College received an emailed bomb threat about 4 p.m. and ordered everyone on campus to evacuate. Hiram spokesman Tom Ford said safety teams with bomb-sniffing dogs checked "room by room, building by building" on campus, which is about 35 miles southeast of Cleveland where about 1,300 students are enrolled.
The campus was deemed safe and reopened about six hours later. Ford said the college was fortunate the threat came in late evening, when many students were getting ready for the weekend.
"A lot of kids just piled into their friends' cars and were out of here," he said.
Associated Press writers Will Weissert in Austin, Ramit Plushnick-Masti in Houston, Nomaan Merchant in Dallas; Paul J. Weber in San Antonio; Dave Kolpack in Fargo, N.D.; and Ashley M. Heher in Chicago contributed to this report.

McDonald County Extension Expert Discusses Using Wood as Fuel
A Pineville-based University of Missouri Extension expert has advice for those hoping to trim heating costs.
Higher costs in heating fuel prices and electricity has many homeowners dusting off old wood stoves and researching the latest wood stove technology.
"If you are thinking about using wood for heat you'll also want to spend some time contemplating where you are going to get your firewood," said John Hobbs, an agriculture and rural development specialist at University of Missouri Extension. "Wood is a plentiful and accessible fuel for many Missourians and for those who think "green," it is a renewable resource as compared to coal or oil."
As a rule of thumb, a cord of air-dry hardwood fuel yields about the same usable heat as 250 gallons of propane (LP), a ton of hard coal, or about 6500 kilowatt hours of electricity.
For more information, obtain a copy of MU Guide G5450 "Wood Fuel for Heating" at your nearest county extension center on online at extension.missouri.edu.

We have in our labs OCZ' s latest SATA solid state drive, the Vector 256GB SSD. The Vector SSD Series is featuring the company's next-generation Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller and promises to provide exceptional input/output operations per second (IOPS) performance over time regardless of whether the data streams are in compressed or uncompressed formats.
The Vector SSD Series is available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, and delivers read bandwidth of up to 550 MB/s, write bandwidth of up to 530 MB/s, random read performance of up to 100,000 IOPS.
It's slim, 7mm housing supports a wide spectrum of computers including the latest thin form factor notebooks, and each Vector SSD is also bundled with a 3.5-inch desktop adapter bracket and Acronis True Image cloning software.
The Barefoot 3 controller also includes a suite of flash management tools that can analyze and dynamically adapt to increasing NAND vulnerabilities as flash cells wear or process geometries get smaller. According to OCZ, this means that the Barefoot 3 controller overcomes the shortcomings associated with MLC NAND flash memory and is specified to deliver 20GB host writes per day for 5 years.

There is a tradition in the black church named "call and response." It's simply the experience of the preacher "calling" and the congregation "responding." I've always loved it. When you're preaching in a black church, and the congregants begin to actively and vocally respond, your sermon can actually get better, stronger, deeper, and more powerful than it might have been if everyone just sat there. Sermons get interactive. Congregations can be inspired by the preacher -- and the other way around. Ideas grow, get taken further, and even develop during and after the sermon. And it can make things change.
After his first year in office, I sent a letter to President Barack Obama humbly suggesting he needed "the political equivalent of the black church's call and response." Just talking to and in Washington was never going to get important things done. Washington just sits there and mostly makes sure that things don't change -- and that the special interests that buy, shape, and control this city usually have their way. (That private letter to the president will be published for the first time in my new book about the common good coming out in April.)
I recalled something Obama said right after the 2008 election -- that he would need "the wind of a movement at my back" to get anything really important done. He would have to go over the heads of Washington, to speak directly to the people that had elected him and also those who didn't. He would have to have public debates about the common good and not just debate in Washington.
I saw him do that in this week's State of the Union speech. Barack Obama was speaking over the heads of the senators and members of Congress -- who were just sitting there, standing up only in partisan moments -- right to the 33 million people who were watching. He was making his case to the American people, appealing to public opinion on behalf of things he wants to do -- instead of just reaching out to Washington, as many pundits said he ought to do.
In Washington, the Congressional debate is about debt, deficits, spending, and taxes, and almost nothing else. Many Americans, including many of us in the faith community, agree that massive debts are a moral issue and not something we want to leave for our children. But most Americans also believe that how you deal with deficits is a moral issue. And they don't believe, as the deficit cutters in Washington often say, "with trillions and trillions of dollars in debt, it is time to" cut most of the programs that help poor and vulnerable people. That is what the budget proposals of the deficit hawks would do, even if they don't admit it. We believe that is immoral, especially when the same people still defend grossly unfair tax loopholes and benefits for the wealthiest and best connected. They oppose more revenue from wealthiest -- those special interests who have bought Washington -- and never show the courage to take on the governments worst waste, fraud, and abuse in the Pentagon's massive spending. What Washington never really admits is how it helps those at the top of the economic order much more than those at the bottom -- and that we need a government that "works on behalf of the many, and not just the few."
Let's start that conversation.
The president also said what most Americans know is true -- that rising health care costs and retiring baby boomer needs will require serious reforms of our health care system and crucial programs like Medicare. There are special interests in Washington that don't ever want to admit that or accept the changes we will need while still protecting seniors in need.
What most Americans think makes sense is a balanced approach between increased revenues and careful spending cuts. Most Americans think that the political brinksmanship of moving "from one manufactured crisis to the next" is not the way to find a responsible and balanced path to fiscal sustainability -- that deficit reduction alone is not a plan for economic growth.
President Obama also spoke the "p" words that people in Washington almost never want to talk about -- "poverty" and "poor" people and children. With more people in poverty than in the last 50 years and economic inequality at record high levels, it is time to talk about it. It's time for the president to say that no one who works full time in the wealthiest nation on earth should have to live in poverty; they ought to have a living wage. Most Americans believe that.
They also believe, as virtually all our educators do, that quality preschool should be available to every child in America if we want stable and successful families.
What especially resonated with many people in the president's speech is that our "North Star" should be creating more good paying jobs in America, and helping to educate and train people for them.
The president said what most Americans believe -- that we should not reduce the deficit by cutting crucial investments in education, infrastructure, science, medical health, clean energy, or programs for the most vulnerable -- while enabling the richest to become even wealthier than they have been in years. And whoever is willing to protect the poor and vulnerable in our fiscal debates and commit to overcome poverty with new opportunities will find the faith community at their back, at their front, and on both their sides.
Most Americans now believe that the time has come to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes a responsible path to earned citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants who have lived and worked here responsibly for decades. The faith community, in particular, has come to believe this is a moral and biblical issue -- to "welcome the stranger" among us. Because of the outside pressure of the faith community, the law-enforcement community, and the business community, even Washington is finally coming to admit that our broken immigration system needs to be fixed. The biggest moment of bipartisanship was exhibited by standing ovation when the president called for it Tuesday night.
Outside pressure is the only way to change Washington's decisions, whether is it the historic need to deal with climate change, or change our nation's failed war policies, or finally address the issue that became the most emotional moment of the president's Tuesday night speech -- America's gun violence.
The president said the victims of gun violence "deserve a vote" on necessary and commonsense gun laws, and that the Washington politicians deserve accountability for their votes. Public opinion is clearly for such reforms, while those who have bought Congress, are now preventing public opinion from dealing with our horrible national gun violence.
So it's a good thing that the president is ready to issue "calls" to the American people, over the heads of the Washington politicians and pundits.
It's time for our response.

Lack of love propels our search for wholeness and experience of fulfillment. But if "we" do the seeking, we will fail. We are in the way. Our own self is the barrier to love. We can't do anything about it. We can only see it. Then it ends, by itself. This is what meditation is: the ending of ourselves and the beginning of the rapture of reality.
At first, meditation is a practice that teaches us to focus our attention on a single point, perhaps the breath or a mantra or the space between two thoughts. As we focus, we are amazed to discover how many thoughts we have. We begin to see that the mind is nothing but thoughts about things, and thoughts about thoughts. We can observe the chaos of the mind, racing without order or purpose from one thing to the next, careening from the past to the future while barely touching the present moment. We also see that all of these thoughts are self-centered; our whole internal experience is qualified by this central thought, this image of "me."
As we continue to focus the mind, we begin to observe our thoughts and feeling states without getting lost in them. We see that these mental/emotional states arise in numberless waves within the mind. That which observes the play of thoughts is not the mind but the awareness from which the mind itself is born. We can see that this awareness is qualitatively different than thinking. It has a depth and silence to it. Gradually, we begin to perceive through this awareness, in silence, without thoughts, images and symbols. And, as we do, our own sense of self becomes transparent.
Meditation ends our anxiety of self-centeredness because it invites us into the silence of pure awareness. In this awareness, our spirit is liberated from conditions. We no longer need strategies in life, because the fundamental condition that needs strategies-the condition of "me"-has disappeared.
Our entry into this silence marks the end of meditation as a practice and the beginning of meditation as a state of being. Our chronic restlessness subsides. A different way of seeing and knowing is arouse, a capacity of intuitive perception that is wholistic and instantaneous.
In the stillness, we feel a subtle, pervasive presence. When we try to know that presence, it recedes, returning as we relax and simply allow it to be. Our thoughts and struggles appear in the midst of all of this, but they no longer obscure that presence. This is called natural meditation. It is the encounter with our Source. It is who we are, once we have relinquished our smallness, pettiness, and fear. As we relax into awareness, we see that we are the background from which all these forms arise. We see this glowing presence as a shimmering light around everything. It is indescribably beautiful and in the midst of this beauty we fall in love with all things.
Meditation is an ending of ourselves and an opening into life before form, full of beauty, full of peace, full of love. We intuitively move towards silence because we can never be fulfilled unless we return to our Source. We've forgotten about the Source; nonetheless, it is the very ground upon which we stand and live. It is the essence of what we are, though we constantly overlook it's shattering simplicity and ever-presence.
Yet whether we see it nor not, that light is within us. If we would just sit quietly by the open window of our heart for a few minutes each day, soon that light would be evident.
If we need an image of that light within us for the sake of the mind that becomes lost in its brilliance, we might see a single white rose poised toward eternity while still glistening in the early morning sun.
May everyone be at peace, in love, and know their most perfect Self.

Court Report
Tuilua'ai Fa'amausili, accused of passing bad checks and felony stealing, denied the charges against her when she was arraigned in High Court Monday morning.
Fiti Sunia represents Fa'amausili, who's out on a surety bond of $15,000. Prosecuting this matter is Assistant Attorney General Cable Poag.
Presiding over the arraignment hearing was Chief Justice Michael Kruse who scheduled the pre-trial conference for Fa'amausili on July 30, 2012.
According to the government's case, in December 2011, Nie Ming, owner of K & K Corporation filed a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Division of DPS against FTC Corporation owned by the defendant Tuilua'ai Fa'amausili and Office of Motor Vehicle (OMV) Manager Mau Fa'amausili for writing three checks to the victim's company on three separate occasions, but the account had insufficient funds to cover the checks.
Tuilua'ai is charged with three counts of passing bad checks and three counts of stealing. Each count of passing bad checks is a class D felony which is punishable with up to five years in jail, a fine of $5,000 a fine equal to twice the amount of gain from the commission of the said crime up to a maximum of $20,000 — or both fine and imprisonment.
Each stealing charge is a class C felony punishable for up to seven years in jail, a fine of up to $5,000 a fine equal to twice the amount of gain from the commission of the said crime up to a maximum of $20,000, or both the fine and imprisonment.
Court documents say that on February 14, 2012 a written notice was mailed to the defendant by certified mail as to the non-payment of the bad checks.
Chief Justice Michael Kruse has scheduled a jury trial in the government's case against Aaron Wisdom facing drug related charges.
Wisdom is charged with Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance, marijuana; Possession of Unlicensed Firearm and Unlawful Possession of Ammunition.
According to the government's case the defendant was criminally charged following the discovery of marijuana substance, drug paraphernalia, three firearms and live ammunition in a container that belonged to him.
Kruse set the jury trial for November 5, 2012.
Court filing states that while Customs Agents were conducting a procedural search of the 20 foot container on January 13, 2012, they discovered a marijuana substance and the Vice and Narcotics Division officers were contacted.
It's alleged that several boxes of ammunition and three firearms were also confiscated from the container.
According to court affidavit, police also confiscated drug paraphernalia, a large quantity of items related to the cultivation of marijuana, and several books and magazines on how to grow marijuana, along with other equipment used to extract THC.
Wisdom, who is from San Diego, California, is out on a surety bond of $20,000.
Among eight people arrested for driving under the influence over the weekend was Police Officer Fatu Enari who made his initial appearance in the District Court Monday morning.
Officer Enari was one of those arrested during the Department of Public Safety's graduation enforcement. According to police, Enari's vehicle was swerving on the public highway in the western district, which gave police probable cause to pull the vehicle over for inspection.
During Officer Enari's initial appearance it came to light that his immigration status was illegal. He was remanded into the custody of the immigration officer who was present at the court. Officer Enari, who works at the Tafuna Correctional Facility, is scheduled to have a status hearing on his case in the next two weeks.
Associate Justice Lyle L Richmond has granted the government's motion to postpone the jury trial of Mike Kim and Motau Samani, who are charged in connection with a sexual act involving a minor in 2010.
Deputy Attorney General Mitzie Jessop Folau told the court that the government's lab technician, who will be testifying pertaining to the DNA involved in this matter, will not be available until after August.
Folau said the lab technician has personal obligations and just obtained a new job, which has led to the delay of his travel to American Samoa for this case.
Kim's lawyer, Fiti Sunia, told the court that his client has been very patient, and asked the court to have the trial in December, because September and November are not good months for him.
Richmond then scheduled the jury trial for this case in December. The Deputy AG told the court that she'll make sure that her witness will come down in December 2012.
According to court filings, the alleged incident occurred on June 29, 2010 and the victim involved was a-17-year old girl.
The third defendant in this matter, Police officer Atoe, is accused of allegedly trying to cover up the alleged sexual incident when he asked the victim's father to go to the police and withdraw his complaint against Kim. Atoe is charged with witness tampering and concealing an offense. His case is also pending in the High Court.

Gwyneth Paltrow revealed a whole lot of skin at the Hollywood premiere of "Iron Man 3" Wednesday.
The actress, who stars in the film as Pepper Pots -- Iron Man's love interest --, walked the red carpet of the El Capitan Theatre in a sheer dress that displayed her incredibly toned legs and gluts.
At 40 years old Paltrow is aware that she has a great figure. She was recently quoted telling a story about a compliment she got on her fit posterior when trying on bathing suits with a friend.
"I said, 'You know, this isn't so bad for 40, right?'" Paltrow recalled to reporters on April 4. "And [my friend] goes, 'It's not so bad for a 22-year-old stripper!'"
The Academy Awards winning actress told E! she chose the dress because it had a "superhero thing happening."
"It's very see-through," she told E! reporters on the red carpet. "I just thought it was really beautiful and it sort of has a superhero thing happening."
"Iron Man 3" premieres Friday, May 3.

In the fall, 516 ARTS put out a call for New Mexicans to submit pieces that would serve as the face of the gallery's five-year anniversary show. Nearly 300 artists responded with an eclectic range of works. 516 Executive Director Suzanne Sbarge decided to put the judging process in the hands of renowned critic Peter Frank, after they met while Frank was in town on assignment. He operates out of L.A. as associate editor of Fabrik magazine and as a contributor to the Huffington Post. Frank may not be local, but he says he has a soft spot and deep regard for art from the Southwest. He whittled down the pool of entrants to about 80 works, with each artist represented by one piece. It's the largest group show 516 has put on to date, with talent representing more than 30 cities statewide.
"It runs the gamut from outsider art to very sophisticated landscaping," Frank tells the Alibi. "From the most highly conceptual work to the most emphatically realist work." And in a nod to the feminist tradition that Frank sees as one of New Mexico's more proud points of art history, he handpicked seven women artists who had not submitted entries. He says he also tried to include as wide a range of viewpoints as possible. "What this show exemplifies is the variety of styles and subjects that New Mexico artists practice currently," he says. "It's going to be a potpourri, stylistically."
Frank will be on hand for the opening reception of New Mexico Showcase on Saturday. Awards will be handed out and country-rock band The Joneses will provide tunes.

Storyline (5-5, 0-0 CWPA North)
Harvard opens up conference play this weekend with four games in three days. The Crimson will sandwich home games against Fordham and Iona Saturday with trips to MIT Friday and Connecticut College Sunday.
Schedule of Events
At MIT, Friday, 8 p.m.
Fordham, Saturday, 1 p.m.
Iona, Saturday, 9 p.m.
At Connecticut College, Sunday, 1 p.m.
Watch Online
Fans have the opportunity to watch Friday night's match against MIT live on MIT's pay-per-view website. For more information, click here. The Connecticut College game will also be streamed, and fans can view that by clicking here.
Student Rewards
Saturday's contest against Fordham is part of Harvard's Student Rewards Program. H shield water bottles will be given to all students in attendance. Students can also swipe their student ID for entry to the grand prize drawing, which will be announced at the Dec. 1 men's basketball game against Fordham.
Last Time Out
Harvard hosted the North-South Challenge this past weekend and went 2-1 in the event to claim fifth place. The Crimson dropped its opener to Bucknell, 11-3, before rebounding with victories over Mercyhurst, 16-9, and George Washington, 15-13.
Freshmen Phenoms
The freshman class has been leading the way through the first three weekends of the season. Blake Lee is tops on the squad with 23 goals and 15 assists and second with 15 steals. Classmate Noah Harrison leads the team in steals with 20 and is third in goals with 13, while Ben Zepfel is now second in goals with 18. Robbie Fluegge has also been a strong contributor tallying eight goals and eight steals, and Colin Woolway has made 38 saves in goal while splitting time with junior Jimmy Field.
Rookies of the Week
Two different freshmen have been named the CWPA Northern Division Rookie of the Week in the first three weeks of the season. Ben Zepfel was named Rookie of the Week for Sept. 17 after his performance at the North-South Challenge where he scored 11 goals in three games, including a five-goal effort against Mercyhurst. Noah Harrison earned the other Rookie of the Week nod Sept. 3 after scoring six goals and recording five steals at the Labor Day Invite.
Click here for the release on Zepfel and here for the one on Harrison.
Familiar Foes
Harvard takes on four opponents that it has had quite a bit of success against over the years. The Crimson leads the all-time series against all four opponents by at least 10 wins. Harvard is undefeated against Connecticut College (16-0) and leads the all-time series with MIT (75-20), Fordham (24-14) and Iona (28-17). In their most recent meetings, Harvard topped Central Connecticut, 16-7, and Iona, 13-10, but fell to MIT, 19-7, and Fordham, 10-9.
The Engineers enter this weekend's showdown with a 4-6 mark on the season. Freshman Kale Rogers leads the team with 37 goals, while classmate Ory Tasman is second with 24. On the defensive end, senior Kevin Hsiue has made 70 saves and allowed 59 goals.
The Rams' offensive struggles have led to a slow start to the 2012 campaign. Fordham sits at 1-10 and is averaging less than seven goals per game. Nicholas Allen has paced the Rams with a team-high 19 goals, and Andrew Gonzalez is second with 13 tallies. Davis DeFontes is the only other player in double figures with 10 goals.
For the second straight week, the Gaels (1-6) will make the trip north to Cambridge. Iona finished eighth in the North-South Challenge after dropping matches to Princeton, 16-6, George Washington, 15-6, and Mercyhurst, 17-14, to run its losing streak to six straight games. Five different players tied for the team lead with three goals in the event, while Stefen Hill made 28 saves in goal.
Connecticut College
The Camels opened their season by going 1-3 last weekend at the Navy Invitational. After besting Penn State Behrend, 16-8, in its opener, Connecticut College dropped the final three games to Navy, 25-8, Johns Hopkins, 17-5, and Washington & Jefferson, 12-11. Senior Sam Burns paced the team with 12 goals and seven steals, while Nick DiLeo added eight goals, four assists and four steals.

'When it comes to free agency the Sabres traded for the rights and then signed Ehrhoff and after July 1st signed Ville Leino. Leino didn't work out in year one, but Regier is still hopeful, "What Ville has going for him is he's a very competitive person and he's a fearless player and he can hold on to pucks so the fit wasn't ideal, it wasn't as good as we thought it could be or as he thought it could be, but in the end he's a highly competitive guy that loves to play in pressure situations and just the finish wasn't there so we've got some work to do." Will Leino remain at wing? Regier said, "I think so, one of the things going into the trade deadline and even into the draft into the off season I would like to be in a position where we can strengthen our center position. If Ennis stays in the middle which it looks right now that he will and Hodgson is in the middle it's an area where we want to add a centerman with size."'

5 tips to retain great security talent
You want the best on your security team. And once you've got them, you want to keep them happy and keep them in your organization.
Three security career and management experts weigh in on what security managers need to do to retain top-notch security talent.
First, figure out whether you have the right team
"Don't assume the people you currently have in place are the people you need to have on your security team," said Lenny Zeltser, a senior faculty member with SANS Institute and a product management director at NCR.
Zeltser has hired many people over the years, and he believes the first step to retaining great talent is to ensure you have highly skilled, well-matched team members first.
"It is very difficult to admit to oneself that people are on the borderline in terms of personality and match --and may not be the best for your organization. As human beings, we tend to want to stay with the status quo and say, 'This is the team I have here. If I have lemons, I'll make lemonade.' But that's not the right strategy."
That may mean changing job descriptions, restructuring departments or shuffling employees to places where they are better suited. Or, in a difficult situation, letting some people go.
"Just like you provide feedback and review to employees once or twice a year, as a manager you want check in with yourself, too, on whether who you have on the team is right for its goals. Your security team may have had different goals when first created."
Evaluate your pay structure
If you've evaluated where your team stands, and what kinds of skills you want to see in your department, it is time to look at whether your organization's compensation structure is up to market standards.
"Recruiting and retaining are essentially married," says Lee Kushner, founder and CEO of LJ Kushner and Associates, a recruitment firm for information security professionals. "Your current state of the organization has a lot to do with who you can bring in."
Kushner says one of the battles organizations face when trying to build their security team is the concept of internal equity. When recruiting for a security position, often it turns out that talent outside the company is earning more than the people inside the company. Obviously, this creates conflict between human resources, the recruitment team and the security department.
"I think it's important today for CSOs and CISOs to have better understanding of the market value of the skills of their security employees and be able to make the case to their management for reexamining their compensation, so they aren't put in position where they have retention issues."

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Jeitta' category.
A couple of weeks ago, towards the last few days in October, I, along with some other travelers chose your country as a destination to visit during the Eid Al Adha. The trip at one point was almost canceled after the unjustly and devastating assassination to your head of Police Intelligence, Wissam Al Hassan. Our Embassies warned us that going to Lebanon at such a time would not be wise and extremely unsafe.
After speaking to several of your country men and women, who reassured us that we have nothing to fear, the plan to come went ahead and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we could have made.
My first morning in Beirut, I walked along the Corniche from Rawcheh to Zaitunay (St. George) Bay, during the walk I was able to observe and experience the essence of the Lebanese people. I could sense not only their self-pride in whom they are, but the pride they have in their country, a pride that exuded patriotism. Their joie de vivre was something that also fascinated me and earned my respect. After all Lebanon has been through and continues to go through, your patriots stand tall, unnerved and more determined to see the assailants fail in their mission to provoke fear, defeat and unity. I for one salute you!
As I traveled touring your historical and natural sites I began to fall in love not only with your country, but your people. Your people have a charm about them; they are very hospitable, friendly, and helpful. Your people's strength and your country's beauty is reflected in them, a recipe that guarantees that your visitors will return to visit again and again.
Visiting Lebanon made me homesick for the 3 flags that I declare my allegiance to. Your greenery, scenic landscapes and fun-loving people made me long for Ireland. The pride and cosmopolitan atmosphere reawakened a desire to go back to Canada. The charming people, the Mediterranean vibe and Corniche, reminded me of what Egypt once was decades ago.
May you and yours continue to stand strong against those who wish to harm you. May your flag always fly high and until we meet again, May God continue to bless Lebanon and her people.

Shia Calls Shotgun
Shia LeBeouf takes hold of a shotgun while jumping out of an armored vehicle on the set of his forthcoming political thriller, Eagle Eye, in central Los Angeles on Saturday
A bloodstained Shia, 21, was spotted puffing away on his favorite cancer sticks between takes.
Eagle Eye centers around a young slacker (LaBeouf) who returns home after the mysterious death of his successful twin brother. Said slacker and a single mother (Michelle Monaghan, pictured) find out that they have been framed as terrorists, and they are coerced into becoming members of a cell tasked to assassinate a politician. Son and single mom must find a way to escape the cell and extricate themselves.
Eagle Eye is scheduled to open in theaters nationwide on Aug. 8, 2008.
20+ pictures inside of Shia LaBeouf pumping some action into his shotgun…

Update-I bought a 2012 G650GS...
Help me out here:
I'm a life long rider & just sold my R1150R & was seriously considering a scooter(senior years thing un huh...) until I watched my MC go down the hill in the other guy's PU truck. Even @ 69 the $$$ is hot in my hands & the web searches are ticking my wife off(as in taking all of my attention) as I devour the many used MC locales online. My health remains good so throwing a leg isn't an issue,bad back is "hanging in there",enough of that stuff!
I know how to look for a MC,etc,etc.. I pull my own wrenches. What I'm asking about is input from those that have owned/own 2009-2012 G650GS or F650GS MC's. I've also considered the F800 bikes like ST. All of these are lower or lowered via suspension and/or seat.
That's my affordability spot plus as my inseam is 29" and short arms I want to handle the MC at rest. Lower center of G is a plus too. I rode the new 2012 Suzuki Wee-Strom 650 last summer & really like them other than they are a tall MC. Spirited enough amt. of power for travel & tossable bike too.With the oilhead I was on tip toes on level ground with low seat option.Underway, a great ride. There are plenty of these to look at especially the G650GS MC. Easy enough to buy below , say 2,000 miles and many well under that-typical of MC thing in lower price range, I suppose. My purchase will very likely be a fly & ride within a broad search. If the machine & price are right , ~ $200 ticket gets me there& fun ride home! No, I'm not a backyard buyer.
I well beyond power freak stage in life but all my riding is all day trips or longer,no dirt-when I'm in the woods I use Merrell's My /5 project is still just that & not going anywhere this summer.
One seller advised me to buy a "regular" suspension and lower via dogbone ,etc. for resale issue, clearance. Another has a lowered 800ST and no centerstand & thats a weld up mod thing thats doable but still not there now on that MC. I like the "look" of the 650's that have spokes vs the Japanese looking cast wheels on recent version but can buy a 2012 for nearly same price as a 2009 with similar low miles. Only a few have luggage which I do have to have sidecases some how & top case.
I've read some but obviously just a smidgeon of the immense amt. of info on various tech issues with these MC's. I'm pretty greasy but rather ride than tear down too!
Help me decide via your experience and thanks in advance !!!

The Walrus Says
Julia Hirsch likes to sing, but in her role as the stepmother in the Jamestown Community Theatre's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" she doesn't sound like herself when she sings. "I have to sound ugly and it's not my real voice," she said. Julia, who is 13 and an eighth grader at the Rocky Hill School previously has appeared in the JCT's "Into the Woods," "Song Man, Dance Man" and "Little Women." She was also in "Guys and Dolls" at school.
Julia described the stepmother as "evil, a sociopath who manipulates people and you don't know what she's going to do next. She doesn't like Cinderella and doesn't want her daughters to compete with her. It's a very different role, hard to play, but I'm doing the best that I can."
Performances will be Nov. 13, 14, 19, 20, and 21 at the Jamestown Recreation Center.
The show couldn't go on without the dedicated people behind the scenes. The musical's crew includes: Carol Hopkins, Mary Wright and Jolie Curran, choreographers; Maia White, stage manager; Maryann England and Jim Rafferty, directors of set design and building; Dori Hirsch, costumes; Peter Hansen, Caellum Kerr and Caleb Brown, lighting; Chris Kuester and Josh Brown, backstage managers, Jim Rafferty, flyman; Cathy Kaiser, program design and Laura Totten, publicity.
Ticket prices for the play are the same as last year's. Advance tickets for children 12 and under and seniors 65 and over sell for $8, $11 at the door. Adult ducats are $13, $16 at the door. Tickets are available at Baker's Pharmacy, Cathryn Jamieson Salon, The Secret Garden and the Conanicut Marine Store.
Kudos to the parents, teachers and students who walked last Saturday from the Melrose School to downtown and back in a local effort to raise funds to support the eradication of breast cancer. Sponsored by the Lawn Avenue School Student Council, about 25 walked, some accompanied by their K-9 companions. Eight young men dressed all in pink and carrying a large banner stood out among the walkers. Residents who have not had a chance to donate can send their contributions in care of Student Council advisor Kristin DeSantis at the Lawn Avenue School, 55 Lawn Ave., 02835.
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! Next Tuesday go to the polls and vote your conscience.
B.J.'s poser last week was "Autumn Leaves" says Ira Murphy, Babs Reis, Betty Kinder, Sam Bari and Tom Bembenek. Tom gives us the full skinny:
"B.J.'s poser is probably the most popular and recognized song of this season:
'Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
And I miss you most of all my darling'
When "Autumn Leaves" start to fall.'
"This music by Joseph Kosma was originally released in France in 1945 as "Les Feuilles Mortes" (The Dead Leaves), with lyrics by French poet Jacques Prevert. American songwriter Johnny Mercer wrote English lyrics in 1947 and Jo Stafford was among the first to perform the Mercer version. 'Autumn Leaves' became a pop standard and a jazz standard in both languages, both as an instrumental and with a singer. It's been recorded by various renowned artists from all over the world including Cannonball Adderley and Chet Baker.
"The film 'Autumn Leaves' starring Joan Crawford released in 1956 featured the song as sung by Nat King Cole over the title sequence. It crossed over into the club scene when dance act Coldcut recorded a version in 1994, the resulting remix by 'Irresistible Force' became widely regarded as a classic of the chillout genre. Believe it or not, 'Autumn Leaves' is currently the 'Corps Song' of the internationally renown Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps from Canton, Ohio."
Thanks, guys!
To identify B.J.'s last fall poser it helps if you're Irish. Though autumn leaves may droop and die, a bud of spring are you.
Douglas MacIntosh and Bob Kinder both said that Chuck Connors was the Rifleman with Douglas noting that Connors played for the Boston Celtics from 1946 to 1948. Cheryl Fernstrom emailed that before being the Rifleman, Connors also played first base for the Chicago Cubs.
Vampire movies are in vogue with today's young set. The movie that set the tone for all future vampire movies was "Dracula" released way back in 1931. Who played the role of Dracula? Other horror films in the 30s included "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein" and the one that scared the bejeeses out of me when I was a kid, "The Mummy." Who starred in the three movies?
We note that last week the four candidates for governor pandering for women's votes signed a pledge that if elected they would increase the number of women in high-level state jobs. None had the guts to say that the best-qualifi ed people would get the jobs regardless of sex.
The last cruise ship of the season, Crystal Symphony of the Crystal Line, will anchor off Newport Monday.
Be careful out there on Halloween, someone is watching you.
*** Be true!

Get an alert when new Brendan O'Carroll dates are announced
One of Ireland's top comedians and comedy writers, best known for his character Mrs Brown. He first breathed life into widower Mrs Agnes Brown back in 1990 when Irish radio station RTE commissioned him to write a series of short stories on the character he had created. The series ran for three years with over 500 episodes and thus immortalising Agnes in Irish folklore.
Following this success, Brendan wrote a series of books based on the indomitable widow and her children which went on to become best sellers across the globe. Such was the interest that Hollywood beckoned and a movie followed in which Hollywood icon Angelica Houston starred in and directed, entitled 'Agnes Brown', which remains a firm Christmas favourite on TV channels around the world.

Forum Post: Taking a Chance, The History of Liberalism, The Enlightenment, & where we go now that we are sliding back, Modern Fascism
Posted 5 years ago on June 26, 2013, 12:46 a.m. EST by Middleaged
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
As usual I am the last to know in my peer group... But maybe not. The Industry I worked in uses the same phases I hear Matt Taibbi quoting for Ratings Agencies as they pressured Analysts to change the Ratings on Financial Assets prior to the 2008 Financial Crisis. There are many propaganda, indoctrination, Public Relations,... phrases that get repeated and propagated in both government & Private Industry. And it seems to come from the Bankers. I mean I don't know if all my peers understand that they are propagating the myths & propaganda.
Thanks, Shadz, by Matt Taibbi : http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article35406.htm
Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among philosophers and economists in the Western world. Liberalism rejected the notions, common at the time, of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings.
Liberalism is the Political Movement that formed the USA. It also lead Nations to Revolution that threw off the Corrupt Monarchies and the age of unreasonableness (to enter the age of enlightenment).
We are all Liberals. Wikipedia states that conservatives actually supported the foundational ideas of monarchies, heredity (for Lordships, Power, Land & Rights), established state religions, ... I suppose Fiefdoms, Manors, Serfs as well.
Liberalism threw off the Monarchies. Liberalism brought in the ideas of Revolutions, Freedom, Equality, Liberty, Free trade, freedom of Religion. The first step was Classical Liberalism which is closer to Milton Friedman and Neoliberal Economics. But soon after we had Social Liberalism which included ideas that government should help relieve poverty, help with education, help with social security and help with health care
Most of our Philosophy comes from Europe. I see notes that Asia has not really followed our Western Ideas of Liberalsims that well.
So here we are: http://occupywallst.org/forum/what-do-bosnia-bulgaria-and-brazil-have-common/
Demonstrations in Egypt, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ireland, UK, Spain, Germany, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Switzerland, Brussels, Sweden, Iceland, New York City, Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, ... Brazil, Ecuador, Chili, Argentina, Venezuela...
We are still Fighting the Revolution for Freedom against the Monarchies, Oligarchies, Elites, Coporations, and Bankers. It is a fight against Human Corruption and Human Tyranny.
There is no Question about it. The GINI Coefficient, the Wage Gap, the Decapitalization of the USA, the Outsourcing of Jobs, the Money transferred to Big Corporate Lobbyist, Bail outs to Wall Street Investment Banks in a supposedly capitalist system, the Government in action to repair the Economy & Jobs, Government parties in Washington DC every Day while people don't work, face foreclosure, and take on Debt to live, to work, and to attend Job Training, and of course the collapse of the Retirement Savings, 401Ks, Pension Funds, and Retirement Funds. All the while the savings of people in banks makes no interest in the down economy.
But you knew all that already....
Here are some links on Liberalism:
Individualists are chiefly concerned with protecting individual autonomy against obligations imposed by social institutions (such as the state or religious morality). For L. Susan Brown "Liberalism and anarchism are two political philosophies that are fundamentally concerned with individual freedom yet differ from one another in very distinct ways. Anarchism shares with liberalism a radical commitment to individual freedom while rejecting liberalism's competitive property relations."[4]
Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom; worthy of a free man, gentlemanlike, courteous, generous")[18] is the belief in the importance of individual freedom. This belief is widely accepted in the United States, Europe, Australia and other Western nations, and was recognized as an important value by many Western philosophers throughout history, in particular since the Enlightenment. It is often rejected by collectivist, Islamic, or confucian societies in Asia or the Middle East (though Taoists were and are known to be individualists).[19] The Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote praising "the idea of a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed".[20]
Modern liberalism has its roots in the Age of Enlightenment and rejects many foundational assumptions that dominated most earlier theories of government, such as the Divine Right of Kings, hereditary status, and established religion. John Locke is often credited with the philosophical foundations of classical liberalism. He wrote "no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions."[21]
Humanism is a group of philosophies and ethical perspectives which emphasize the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers individual thought and evidence (rationalism, empiricism) over established doctrine or faith (fideism).
I think it is worth while pointing out that we don't want to fight each other, we don't want to allow the MSM to Separate us or Divide us. It appears that Monarchs have set out to divide us all along. And it appears that our Government & Media not only try to Dumb Us Down, To Keep International News from Us, To Keep History from Us, to Hide the Truth About the Deaths of JFK, RFK, & MLK, but also want to keep us from Talking to Activists in Other Nations..... And they want to hide the Transfer of Tax Dollars & Jobs to the Military, Security & Intelligence Agencies.... and they want to hide the King-Like Wealth and Opulence of Congressmen in Washington DC.
Your Manufacturing Jobs are gone or at least we need 20 Million of them back... but what you got was low paying jobs in the service industry ... while the Right Wing and Wealthy Built a Police State and in some cases doubled the Jobs from 2001.
So taking a Chance.... We all have to Practice Transparency, Practice Glasnost, Practice Humanism, and Tell people that are full of Rage that they are wrong and they are not wanted. We have to get Rid of Government Secrecy, the CIA, DHS, and all these Intelligence Agencies. After all the CIA has been caught time and again interfering with the "Right to Self Determination" of Sovereign Nations... all over the globe from the 1950s... till the Afghanistan War and Iraqi War... and the War on Terrorism. And what you see in front of you Is a transfer of Tax dollars to the US Security Apparatus and Industry while normal manufacturing jobs, Main Street Jobs have been Decapitalized.
The lesson is in History about Sectarianism or you could look at Secularism in "The Troubles" or Balkanization in Europe. As I see it the USA must break up at some point. But we would have more power as a people if we acted as a "Love Generation" in Humanism.
If you notice... Conservitive have created a Meme that Liberalism means all kinds of things that it doesn't mean. Conservitives and Republicans dis Liberals, but don't know that the US Revolution was based on this Idea. Liberalism is the throwing off of the Tyrants and Monarchs.
Now the Economic Policies are Neoliberals like Milton Freidman on Steroids. Politics is all Status Quo. President Obama is following Utilitarianism in that he says we are doing the best for everyone... but meaning we will not change anything. Barak Obama has only added to the Risk to the US union, US Foreign Policy, Privacy, Individual Rights, and clearly has follow the policy of Bankers and Right Wing Nut Jobs.
While this could be interpreted as a justification for state action to reduce poverty, it was used by classical liberals to justify inaction with the argument that the net benefit to all individuals would be higher.[62]
Check out Max Keiser 462 ... He calls for Support for Capitalism since we have Crony Capitalism with a bunch of Cheaters that don't think they can make it without Cheating, Fixing the Markets, Fixing Libor, Fixing the Price of Gold & Silver, Fixing the ISDAfix,... We don't have free markets as he always says. If we had Liberalism, Social Liberalism with "True Capitalism" and with Regulations with Regulators to Enforce the Regulations and with Uncorrupt Court Systems to Try and Convict the Fraudsters ... then we would have "Freedom and Liberty".
Wikipedia makes the point that Liberalism faced challenges in the 20th Century from Communism and Fascism. I think Wikipedia mistakenly states that Liberalism won... I think that we have Modern Fascism.

Forward-looking South Korea is one of the world's most technologically advanced nations – a place where science fiction becomes fact. Its cities are the most 'wired' on the planet, pulsing with internet speeds hundreds of times faster than Europe or the US, and the frontier of 'augmented reality', the fusion of urban and digital worlds that many say is the brave future of humanity. Indeed, the convergence of man and machine appears to be confirmed by the increasingly common sight of robotic teaching assistants in South Korean schools.
But South Korea's love of technology – and whole-hearted embrace of western-style capitalism – masks a much older, conservative side of the national character. Traditional Korean culture, solemn and vibrant by turns, blends the humane and hierarchical tenets of Confucianism, the selfless devotion of Buddhism, and unique forms of folk culture rooted in the ancient lore of shamanism. Situated between China and Japan, South Korea is one of the Far East's greatest civilisations, a deeply cultural place that boasts thousands of years of aesthetic and philosophical development. The countryside is brimming with ancient tombs, temples, monuments, statuary, pagodas, and carved reliefs depicting the awe and grandeur of Korea's golden age.
South Korea's traditional performing arts, too, evoke the drama of a more ancient and mysterious time with slow-moving meditative music, fantastical dances, sweeping gowns and otherworldly masks straight from the old royal court. Traditional Korean architecture, constructed on Taoist principles, is intended to harmonise with nature, including hanok - houses with elegant tiled roofs, upward-curving eaves, and tranquil, well-tended gardens. Equally, traditional Korean art tends emphasise the beauty and balance of the natural world with flowing motifs of birds, mountains, plants, and trees. Throughout South Korea, crafts are produced to an exceptionally high quality, especially porcelain, bronze, and woodwork.
Perched between the Yellow Sea to the west and the Sea of Japan to the east, the Korean peninsula is extremely mountainous and blessed with a rugged backdrop of cloud-drenched peaks and ethereal highland vistas. Thanks to the nation's intensive reforestation efforts – part of an innovative $84 billion greening programme - more than two thirds of the country is covered with forests. The country's serene natural assets are protected by some 20 national parks, great for hiking, biking and rafting or simply sitting quietly and reflecting on the universal flow of yin and yang – twin forces embodied by the deeply symbolic national flag of South Korea, naturally.

When hard-partying Chicago bank manager Clay's (T.J. Miller) CEO sister Carol Vanstone (Jennifer Aniston) threatens to shut down his branch, he decides to throw an epic Christmas party against her wishes in order to secure a huge client and save the branch.
He sets up the party with help from his co-workers, including Mary (Kate McKinnon) and Tracey (Olivia Munn), as well as his Chief Technical Officer, Josh (Jason Bateman), but the party turns out to be a lot crazier than anyone had anticipated, as it leaves the office in a state of chaos and destruction.

WASHINGTON — It could have been over for Kyle J. White just 30 seconds into the firefight with the Taliban, when a rocket-propelled grenade knocked him unconscious.
But he came to and by the time the four-hour firefight in Afghanistan was over, White, reeling from concussions and shrapnel in his face, had saved one comrade's life and helped secure the evacuation of other wounded Americans.
On Tuesday, White became only the seventh living recipient of the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan, the latest reminder of the post-Sept. 11 conflicts and U.S. sacrifices President Barack Obama has sought to bring to an end
"We pay tribute to a soldier who embodies the courage of his generation," Obama said.
With the medal, White, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome after the ambush, also draws attention to the recent scrutiny confronting the Veteran's Affairs health care system and allegations of lapses in care and delays in mental health treatment.
Though Obama did not mention the VA controversies specifically, he told White: "You did your duty, and now it's time for America to do ours: after more than a decade of war, to welcome you home with the support and the benefits and opportunities that you've earned."
An Army account of the attack says White, then a 21-year-old Army specialist, and his team of 14 U.S. troops, along with Afghan National Army soldiers, were ambushed Nov. 9, 2007, after attempting to hold a meeting with village elders in the village of Aranas in Nuristan province.
During the exchange of fire, White was knocked unconscious. When he came to, he realized that most of his fellow Americans and all of the Afghans traveling with them had slid 150 feet down a rocky cliff for cover.
Left at the top with White were platoon leader 1st Lt. Matthew C. Ferrara, Spc. Kain Schilling, Marine Sgt. Phillip A. Bocks, who was imbedded with the group, and its interpreter. White set about trying to assess the condition of his fellow soldiers, running and crawling through gunfire only to find Ferrara dead and Bocks badly wounded. Though he tried to stop Bocks' bleeding, the Marine later died.
Though suffering from concussions, White treated Schilling's injuries and used one of the unit's radios to call for help. When a helicopter arrived after nightfall, White only allowed himself to be evacuated after the wounded were assisted.
Schilling survived the attack and attended White's Medal of Honor ceremony.
White retired from the Army in 2011 as a sergeant. He graduated from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte with a finance degree, and he now works as an investment analyst at a bank in Charlotte.
In his first public discussion of the attack, White said that after the ambush, he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He urged veterans suffering from the illness to get help.

Born in 1852, in London, Alfred de Breanski was a landscape painter who specialised in Welsh and Scottish mountain scenes. His breath-taking views and glorious muted colours expressed perfectly the colour contrasts of the Highlands and of Wales.
De Breanski flourished particularly between 1869 and 1893 and his paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street.
He also turned his brush to city scenes on occasion, and created marvellous views of the Thames. However, it is his mountain views for which he is most famous, and these landscapes usually feature water and cattle or sheep, bathed in a flood of golden light.
There are other artists with the Breanski name, which has resulted in some confusion over the attribution of his canvases. An unrelated artist, who signed himself A.F de Breanski, is recorded and two of de Breanskis own sons, Alfred and Arthur, both became painters in their own right.
De Breanski died in 1928.

WASHINGTON (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is a "failure" and predicts it "will not succeed — it just won't."
The potential 2016 presidential candidate says the leaders of both political parties, including Obama, are to blame for a 16-day partial federal government shutdown in October. He says the effort by some Republicans to defund the so-called Obamacare law by shutting down the government failed and "absolutists" from both parties hurt the process.
But Christie avoided addressing a question on how to fix the law, saying it was a complex issue that required a robust debate.
Christie was interviewed Monday during a forum sponsored by The Wall Street Journal. He is scheduled to take over the chairmanship of the Republican Governors Association later this week.

First off, I just had hand surgery for a damaged tendon so pics/range report will have to wait (sorry). As it is I'm having to type this one-handed so apologies for any brevity on my part.
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation w/Mako or Meprolight except as a retail customer.
Pics/basic info here: http://www.idfholsters.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1077210
Appearance: At first glance this looks similar to an Eotech, what with the blockish design & HUD.
Optic feels solid in the hand and weighs 11.4oz w/the included alkaline AA battery installed. FOV through the optic has the same wide-open feeling as the Eotech's HUD. If there's any lens tint, I can't see it.
Battery compartment is nicely threaded and has a rubber gasket to keep out moisture. A battery orientation graphic is on the side of the compartment and the cap is tethered to the body of the optic.
Switch has both audible and tactile feedback and I like how few settings there are (off, high, medium, low & NV, do we really need 20 different brightness settings on a combat optic?). Location is easy to access/use w/the support hand. On high in the bright Idaho sun, I could get dot to wash out only when aiming at the white trim of my house 6' away w/direct sunlight coming over my shoulder. I'll post about lowlight use w/a taclight when physically able.
Due to my astigmatism the dot is somewhat distorted but still sharper than other reticles I have used, still very usable for me (YMMV).
The QD mount appears non-obtrusive and easy to adjust, better than the Meprolight M21's QD mount, IMHO. It provides an appx 1/3 cowitness so if you want absolute I'm afraid you're out of luck.
There is a front-side signature, but it's not head-on. It's only visible when looking down at the optic from an angle. ie: If you're aiming at someone, they'll see no front-side signature. However, if someone is standing directly behind and far enough above your target, it's possible they could detect the dot. It's also theoretically possible to get reflection off the angled front of the prism but that takes an ideal lighting situation (in other words, I'm not worried about front-side signature or reflections).
Unlike the Eotech, the HUD of the Meprolight RDS is a solid prism so whether the hood is aluminum (as on the first 400 RDS') or polymer should have little effect on the ruggedness of the optic.
W/E adjustments are .5moa (better then the latest M21's 1moa and much better then the original M21's 1.7moa) w/definite clicks and are easily adjusted w/a small coin like a nickel.
I'm currently testing the motion sensor, more on that later.
Bottom line: Until I can get in some range time (hopefully in several days), I have to say I'm impressed w/the features offered for the price. The only possible downside I can think of at this time is if you just can't live w/o an absolute cowitness.
ETA: After several tests it appears the auto-shutoff is set for 30 minutes (accurate enough that I even watched it turn off once). If I'm *very* slow & careful I can tilt the unit back and forth w/o reactivating the dot. However, even the slightest tap on the optic will reactivate the dot.

Oh, super cool! It will deactivate and reactivate?
I like. Thanks for the great review!

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

Yep, the more I play w/this optic, the better I like it (especially for the price).blueorison wrote:Oh, super cool! It will deactivate and reactivate?

Update: Got them mounted & cowitnessed w/my BUIS (which should make sighting-in easier when I can finally hit the range), QD mounts adjusted easily and clamped-down solidly, no worries there. Did a lowlight test in my darkened garage using the 500 lumen Inforce WMLx on my rifles. I was very surprised that the dot was still visible at the low setting even when aiming at a white wall 6' away. The dot was very visible on the medium setting, I believe that will be my default setting in the future. This optic is looking better and better.

Very nice! :thumb:

Passwords: Cyrus Cassells on Salvador Espriu
Date and Time:
January 11, 2000 - 7:00PM
Event Location:
Poets House, Spring Street
Salvador Espriu (1913-1985) was Catalan Spain's leading contender for the Nobel Prize. Before the Spanish Civil War, he was a literary prodigy in fiction. When Franco came to power and banned the Catalan language from public use, Espriu turned almost exclusively to poetry and plays. As he struggled to preserve his censored language and culture, his work achieved a spare intensity and a bare-bones beauty, reminiscent of Beckett. Cyrus Cassells will read from his own translations and from Magda Bogin's Selected Poems of Salvador Espriu.
Event Sponsored By:
Poets House

They are both cooked and smoked using natural hickory sawdust. The significant difference between the two is the type of meat used. Our beef sausage uses 100% beef and the Ozark uses a mixture of beef and pork.
Our original summer sausages described above requires refrigeration. Through a fermentation process, we now have our Ozark and Beef Summer Sausages available as shelf stable. This allows for the convenience of storing without the need for refrigeration until the package is opened.
Even though the recipes are virtually the same as their refrigerated counterparts, the flavor is altered somewhat. Through the fermentation process, the summer sausage acquires a unique tanginess that some people find desirable. People who favor our original blends may consider the shelf stable sausage to be less appealing.

A funeral director trying to find a cemetery to take the body of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev is going next to the city where Tsarnaev lived, but will run into another obstacle: It doesn't want him.
The dilemma over where to bury the 26-year-old suspect comes as a friend of his brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev heads to court Monday for a bail hearing on charges that he lied to federal investigators after the bombings.
Funeral director Peter Stefan said he hasn't been able to find a cemetery in Massachusetts willing to take Tamerlan Tsarnaev's body. He said he plans to ask the city of Cambridge, where Tsarnaev lived, to provide a burial plot, and if Cambridge turns him down, he will seek help from state officials.
Cambridge City Manager Robert Healy said in a statement Sunday there has been no formal application for a burial permit or purchase of a cemetery plot. He said he is urging Tsarnaev's family and the funeral director who has the body not to request a burial permit for the city-owned Cambridge Cemetery.
Healy said the city "would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and wide spread media presence at such an interment." He said the families who have loved ones interred at the cemetery also deserve to have their deceased family members rest in peace.
Healey said other federal agencies should take the lead in the burial.
Stefan did not immediately return a call Sunday night seeking comment on Healy's statement.
Ruslan Tsarni arrived Sunday with three of his friends and prepared to wash and shroud his nephew's body according to Muslim tradition. The 26-year-old died after a gun battle with police on April 19.
Tsarni, of Maryland, said he understands that "no one wants to associate their names with such evil events."
Tsarni told reporters that he is arranging for Tsarnaev's burial because religion and tradition call for his nephew to be buried. He would like him buried in Massachusetts because he's lived in the state for the last decade, he said.
"I'm dealing with logistics. A dead person must be buried," he said.
He said he was grateful to Stefan for agreeing to arrange the burial and to his friends for accompanying him to Massachusetts to aid with the funeral.
"These are my friends who feel for me ... as I do understand no one wants to associate their names with such evil events," he said.
Tsarnaev, who had appeared in surveillance photos wearing a black cap and was identified as Suspect No. 1, died days after the April 15 bombing at the marathon finish line, which killed three people and wounded more than 260 others. His 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar, was captured.
Stefan said he has received calls from people criticizing him and calling him "un-American" for being willing to handle Tamerlan Tsarnaev's funeral.
"We take an oath to do this. Can I pick and choose? No. Can I separate the sins from the sinners? No," he said. "We are burying a dead body. That's what we do."
A half dozen protesters gathered outside the funeral home Sunday holding signs and American flags and chanting "USA!" One sign read: "Do not bury him on U.S. soil." Several people drove by the funeral home earlier Sunday and yelled, including one man who shouted, "Throw him off a boat like Osama bin Laden!" The al-Qaida leader was buried at sea after Navy SEALs killed him in a raid on his compound in Pakistan.
The state medical examiner ruled that Tsarnaev died from gunshot wounds and blunt trauma to his head and torso, and authorities have said his brother ran him over in a chaotic getaway attempt. Stefan said Sunday that the family won't request that an independent medical examiner perform a second autopsy, but representatives from the family's legal team might photograph Tsarnaev's body before it's washed.
Tsarni has denounced the acts his nephews are accused of committing and has said they brought shame to the family and the entire Chechen community. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Both parents returned to Dagestan in southern Russia last year.
Tsarni said Sunday that he hopes to eventually see Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is in a prison hospital and faces a potential death sentence if convicted of the terrorism plot.
"This is another person left all to himself," he said.
Also on Sunday, the FBI conducted a court-authorized search in Cambridge as part of its ongoing investigation into the bombings, said Jason Pack, a supervisory special agent in the FBI's press office. He declined to elaborate further.
